	Halo 2 review for the XBOX
		It's a little hard to get into the nuts and bolts of the plot without spoiling the big twists, but suffice to say, it's your job to shoot things, drive things, and kill things in order to save the universe.
		A great deal of the plot focuses on the aliens, which is pretty cool, but at the same time leaves you wanting to hear more from the humans.
		You sit through quite a few of them over the course of the story and can't help but notice their general lack of polish.

		He wants to remind Europe that the Polish people were also allies and that they were betrayed and a betrayal of a loyal ally can be in no way justified.
		He turns our attention to the stereotypes, which were formed in the period of the Second Polish Republic, adhering to the Romantic tradition and promoting an idealised vision of the Polish history (it fulfilled essential didactic and civic tasks).
		One should add that the common awareness of the Polish people was also formed under the influence of the communist propaganda, which claimed that the Warsaw Rising was evoked by 'the troublemakers', who acted against the nation's interest and historical reasons.

	Barbelith Underground > Film, TV & Theatre > Avalon (contains Spoilers)
		Scripted in Polish, and directed by 'Ghost in the Shell' director Mamoru Oshii, it's an odd, but a highly enjoyable, two hours.
		With one exception, there isn't a single bar of music in the entire two hours, which insidiously gives the world a stark, empty feel, and the fact that no children appear in the 'real world' emphasises the suggestion that humanity pretty much has no future.
		Without spoiling it, the story centres around the main protagonist who is searching for a - by that time - legendary secret level in the architecture of Avalon, a place known as Class Real.

		My father taught Latin and Greek mythology as well as English (my bedtime stories were Greek myths, with most of the gory parts removed or toned down).
		I was indeed exposed to Irish mythology, mostly thanks to my maternal grandparents, who made many trips to Ireland and always brought me back books (knowing me well, as they did!).
		Now, there are certainly enough examples of badly written mainstream books to go around, and I'd extend my "polish and care" demand to them, too - but, frankly, it's the ghettoized genre stuff that gets blamed the most for sloppy writing.

	Vegetarians in Paradise/Walnut History/Walnut Nutrition/Walnut Folklore/Walnut Recipe
		Because of their hard shells, walnuts were well protected from light, heat, moisture, and water and could last for months before spoiling, making them the ideal world travelers--the perfect food for a long journey across many oceans to become everyday food throughout the globe.
		Though many historians pinpoint Persia as the country of the walnut's origin, confusion persists because archeological remains of walnuts were found as far eastward as the Himalayas and to the distant west and northwest of Persia into Turkey, Italy, and Switzerland as well.

		The Polish anarchic creativity, once perhaps thecharacteristic trait of Polish intellectual life, seems to vanish even from the university (Glinka and Kostera, 1998).
		According to many old mythologies, in the beginning there was chaos, imagined as infinite emptiness, as a void.
		In a broader sense (also outside of Greek mythology) the term chaos was used to describe the opposite of cosmos (gr.

	GameDev.net - Computer Adventures, The Secret Art
		Some graphic games, I feel, are rather spoiled by having all possible verbs on pull-down menus, leaving little or no scope for imagination on the part of the player, and there comes a point where real-time events are happening on the screen and the game is verging on an arcade-style game, or a wargame.
		This is not because some players are deaf, or want to play while wearing their personal stereos, but because adventurers may not wish to disturb those around them with synthesised dalek voices, beeps and laser blasts.
		So many promising computer graphics are spoiled by a lack of understanding of how objects diminish with distance, and parallel lines converge in perspective.

		Orphaned early, with a Polish father, whom he never knew, hard-working, hoping for promotion at his railroad job but unhappy when he got it for the wrong reason, he also is called to arms when his somewhat stabilized situation at last promises him some moments of inner peace.
		In mythology very often an orphaned child, becomes a savior--an unknown soldier is also a savior because he gives his life for others.
		For Wittlin one of the most annoying things associated with exile was the state of being "unknown." In his essay "The Splendor and Squalor of Exile" he bitterly mentions the necessity of spelling his name, a name once known well to the reading public.

		Nancy Drew, who first appeared in the early 1920's, was a pretty blond who was forever 16 years old, lived in a completely fictional town, had a rich lawyer daddy who placed no curfews or restrictions on her behavior whatsoever, and gave her a nice car to tool around in to solve mysteries.
		For almost 50 years, part of the core mythology of Superman was that Ma and Pa Kent were long dead, after inspiring Superman to go on and do good for humanity with his super powers.

		Aleksander Smolar, a Polish sociologist who emigrated after the 1968 anti-Semitic outburst, believed that during the Nazi occupation Polish antiSemitism largely disappeared from the streets as well as from the underground press, political parties, and military units.
		Polish historian Teresa Prekerowa observed that those inhabiting the areas around Treblinka and Sobibor became apparently quite wealthy as a consequence.
		Within a few distinctly Polish circles, however, there is a great sensitivity to any focus upon the Poles as contributing to (not _collaborating with_) the elimination of Polish Jews.

		The answer so easy twenty years ago, that the new poetry was spoiled by an influx of German bad taste, will hardly hold good now, except with a very few very ignorant people.
		Goethe, Milton, Spenser, Shakespeare, Rabelais, Ariosto, were none of them high-born men; several of them low-born; who only rose to the society of high-horn men because they were themselves innately high-bred, polished, complete, without exaggerations, affectations, deformities, weaknesses of mind and taste, whatever may have been their weaknesses on certain points of morals.
		If Marino and Cowley be greater poets than Ariosto and Milton, let young poets imitate the former with might and main, and avoid spoiling their style by any perusal of the too-intelligible common sense of the latter.

		The major reason I see for this is due to the cinematography; the various angles and shots used during these five episodes give them the feel of an actual movie rather than a piece of animation.
