Amir acquired a brilliant education and immigrated to the United States after facing the political changes in his home country. Amir was born in Kabul in 1963 in the family of a wealthy and well-respected man, Agha Sahib. The main protagonist of The Kite Runner and simultaneously, its narrator is Amir, a representative of the leading Pashtun ethnic group 4. People belonging to the nations mentioned above serve as the support personnel for Pashtuns. Pashtuns are the leading ethnic group that traditionally occupies the man positions and possesses the major authority. The main nations populating Afghanistan are Pashtuns, Tajiks, and Hazaras 3. The ethnic structure of the country population is another interesting fact that is of importance for understanding the plot of The Kite Runner. Before the year 1979, Afghanistan was a quite stable country in Asia with ancient history and its unique culture and ethnic background. To fully grasp the value of experiences shown in The Kite Runner, a viewer should become cognizant of the main glimpses in the history of Afghanistan as well as the historical and political twists and turns that took place in the country beginning from the year 1979 when the country was invaded by the Soviets 2. The main events of the film begin here when suddenly a friend of Amir’s father from his motherland is calling 1. The wife speaks of this novel as of Amir’s child, giving an audience a hint that they are not able to have their child. After their small rout, the couple returns home, where the husband finds the packages with his upcoming novel “Season for Ashes” published by a local printery. The characters are shown as they are watching kids flying kites at a bayside park. The viewers get familiar with a writer of Afghanistan-American ethnic background Amir Qadiri and his wife Soraya. The opening scene of The Kite Runner movie is set in San Francisco in the year 2000. The film ends with a peaceful picture of Amir and Sohrab flying a kite in the peaceful atmosphere of San Francisco and with good hope for the future. After learning about the hardships that Sohrab is facing because of his ethnic identity, Amir decides to adopt him. All of a sudden, Amir learns that apart from being his best friend of childhood, Hassan was his half-brother. Amir learns that the Taliban killed his friend Hassan and left alive only his son Sohrab. They act with prejudice over the minority groups of Hazara and Tajiks robbing them of their possessions and persecuting them in other ways. When one day Amir returns to visit his father’s friend Rahim Khan, he learns that the new country’s leaders, the Taliban, are cruel and unjust. For the people who continue to live in their homeland, life becomes hard. The events of the film seem to be divided by the event of Soviet invasion: at the first part, the audience sees a peaceful life with its minor issues and daily troubles, but later the whole new period begins when millions of people become pushed to leave their houses in the home country and escape as refugees. The Kite Runner film relates a story of an Afghanistan man, named Amir Qadiri, who feels guilty because he left his motherland and his close friend Hassan and became a refugee in Pakistan and then immigrants in the United States. The following film review aims to observe the strengths and weaknesses of this film as an informative resource for the students of the political and historical background of Afghanistan. The viewers begin to become acquainted with the film’s main characters when they are mere children, and when they have no slightest idea about the hard lot the life has prepared for them.

Schwinn Limited Production Run of Lemon Peeler Sting-Rays, bicycle For Sale As for it's actual weight now, I can't say. Has anyone found out what those little stamps on the waist mean? I would love to find out when she was made, and if there's anything else special about her.Įdit: I just read a forum at that explains how some Hay Buddens have their weight stamped on the side, meaning the two "8"s might indicate the anvil weighed 88lb when it was made. It rings like a bell, and I found this one little spot that still has a decent edge on it. Also I'm not even thinking about welding on the face right now, I'm still just admiring how level, and springy it is. I don't wan't to risk making a weld on a big heat sink, and then breaking it within the first couple strikes, so I think I'll avoid welding anything onto it. I looked up "portable hole" and I was actually considering fabricating something similar using a long piece of square tubing and bolting it to the floor. I don't want to risk ruining a patina that's older than I am, so I'm wondering if removing the rust and paint is worth doing, or if it's best to just leave it be. In the eventual possibility that I need a more refined edge for forging, what repairs should I consider making?Įdit: Also it appears this gal got rusted up pretty bad, and someone tried to paint over it. I know how you all feel about taking a grinder to an anvil face, so I won't ask, however there is a considerable amount of chipping on the face, and with a missing hardy hole, I can't easily make a striking plate either. Considering this is my first anvil, and I'm a newbie blacksmith at best, I don't plan on trying to repair this anvil any time in the near future. The heel is missing, and I can't seem to find a serial number anywhere, so I would really appreciate any help identifying this beauty. As far as I know it's a Hay Budden, probably around 125lb (it weighs about 100lb without the heel.) there's an indication of a hardened steel plate welded to what I assume is a wrought iron base. Just yesterday I bought my first anvil from a guy on Craigslist, I got it for $180 so it was a good deal in my opinion, despite the damage to it.

GPS Trackmaker works differently enough and also calibrates imported images ( though not as well as ExpertGPS because it's only 2 point calibration instead of 3 point calibration on ExpertGPS )Īll that to say. ExpertGPS trackmaking is only like drawing with a pencil - though you can export "routes" to your GPSr as a track. I also use GPS Trackmaker and purchased it because it handles track creation better than ExpertGPS. I've heard other programs do similar things, but since I've already paid for ExpertGPS, I make it do what I need it to instead of paying more money for software that does the same. Even on a recent trip to Oklahoma, I found the ExpertGPS map data to be really lacking compared to the more up-to-date imagery from Google.Īdditionally, I use ExpertGPS to do map plotting for aviation procedure development because I like the way it imports CSV files that I give it from Excel. I don't use the downloaded imagery/topo maps from ExpertGPS because I'm overseas. The reason I bought ExpertGPS was its ability to do better than average map calibration of electronic map images of my own. For folks with ready topo maps available, Google Earth would probably do the trick.

Originally posted by Chaoslink:You're not supposed to make your whole team from the start. The failsafe is that Malady will force you to go to hall of echoes and cast bless on her after going back when you meet her after Alexander fight. As it turns out, I went back with RP while in control of all 4 characters and was able to get Bless!! I feel like it should not be this difficult. If that fails, then you might have missed the opportunity. If you can, you'd have to take manual control of Red and make him interact with the statue. However, you don't have a recruited companion as it sounds, you made the character at the beginning. Normally, the companion is treated as having done it even though they just sleep at the statue for a few seconds then await your return. This means that when you talked to the statue and went in and got bless, you needed to repeat the same action with Red too. Originally posted by Chaoslink:All characters who were created at the start of the game are treated as active players, regardless of whether they're just following you or not. I can try putting RP in my friends control as well. The other two characters, controlled by my friend, also have Bless. My other of the two is RP, and he does not have it. We (one of my two) was swaped out after the fact, but has no issue with Bless. Sorry I should clarify, we started with the creation of 4 characters. If that doesn't work then I'd head over to the Larian forums, I don't believe you'll get another opportunity to learn Bless. If you can't get RP to initiate the shrine encounter at either spot, maybe try turning on multiplayer in the connectivity menu, then try controlling RP? That's the only thing I can think. Originally posted by DrunkPunk:Oh so RP was a character created at the beginning by a friend? That could have caused the issue, characters that are created when starting the game are considered "main characters", and both main characters need to do their thing at the shines independently. My guess is that you'll have the chance to get it at some point though, probably when you reach the Hall of Echoes transition to act two and have to bless the god. Otherwise, you might not be able to fix that. If that fails, then you might have missed the opportunity.ĪS far as I've seen, Larian has failsafes for these kinds of things, so it'll probably resolve itself. All characters who were created at the start of the game are treated as active players, regardless of whether they're just following you or not. According to Barry Kernfeld's book "The Story of Fake Books," by the 1950s gangsters were duplicating the Tune-Dex information into bound fake books with prices between $10 and $25.įor many years the "standard" fake books were called simply "The Fake Books." All were composed of songs illegally printed, with no royalties being paid to the copyright owners. Goodwin also promoted the cards to professional musicians until 1963, when poor health forced his retirement. Printed on 3"x5" cards that were the same size as library catalog cards, Goodwin provided lyrics, melody and chord symbols as well as copyright information. But the sheer amount of the tunes more than compensated for this drawback, especially since skilled musicians could always improve the sound.Ī predecessor to fake books was created in May, 1942 when George Goodwin, a radio station director, released the first Tune-Dex cards. The origins of transcriptions were often murky and not always of the best musical quality. Despite the name, fake books are often unbound, consisting of a thick, loose stack of sheets. However, fake books can be an avenue to playing songs quickly a few chords and a one-note melody line can allow even an amateur to play a passable version of any song with relative ease. The fake book is a central part of the culture of playing music in public, particularly in jazz, where improvisation is particularly valued.įake books are not intended for novices: the reader must follow and interpret the scant notation, and generally needs to have thorough familiarity with chords and sheet music. Each song in a fake book contains the melody line, basic chords, and lyrics - the minimal information needed by a musician to make an impromptu arrangement of a song, or "fake it." (clip from Wikipedia) A fake book is a collection of musical lead sheets intended to help a performer quickly learn new songs. I also agree that sometimes the suggested chords were not correct, but the books were still an invaluable reference. A recent thread in this forum about tabs and musical notation also discussed "fake books." Some folks were not aware of what a fake book was/is.Īs a big user of fake books, I got curious and happened upon the following Wikipedia article about fake books, which is quite interesting (see below).

It's not a film for everyone, but it rewards those who take the plunge along with it. As voices begin to echo throughout the house and figures appear where there were once none, it settles into a rhythm that is as mesmerizing as it is maddening. Taking place entirely in this single location that increasingly feels as though it has been removed from time and space, it plunges into the darkness that threatens to swallow you whole. Specifically, it is a very restrained yet no less riveting work of horror where what we don’t see is just as scary as what we do. Telling what could be a simple story of two siblings who find themselves trapped in their home after all the windows and doors vanish, it thrives in its precise presentation that is unlike anything else out there. 3 is one of its more recent successes.įrom its disquieting beginning all the way to its petrifying end, Kyle Edward Ball's feature debut Skinamarink is a modern horror masterpiece. Though this series still finds itself in a bit of a creative rut, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. There is a lot to tie up, but it sees Gunn doing so with an ease that is able to smooth over some of its rougher patches. Suffice to say, though this film is more than a little busy and undercooked at times, it is a fond final chapter that brings a lot of affection for these characters. Don't worry, we won't be giving any spoilers about who is in danger or what happens as that is best experienced for yourself. Picking back up with the titular Guardians on their home base of Knowhere, we quickly see their tranquil existence upended when they're attacked by Adam Warlock ( Will Poulter) and must go on a mission to save a dear friend. 3 was also the last MCU film from James Gunn who has since gone on to lead a new future for a different superhero universe. Release Date: Wednesday, August 2 on Disney+Ī fitting farewell to Marvel's scrappiest heroes that we also recently named as one of our best of the year thus far, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. |
