    29 Dec 2009 The Creation of an Architectural Rendering

    To manually render a drawing is to make a still life of an exterior elevation or view of a building requires either a natural gift for art or a great deal of practice. It is a subject most usually only taught in a university or higher learning technical school. Some high schools attempt to teach it, but usually in its most elementary form. These types of drawings can be rendered in various ways using pencil, pen and ink, and water color.

    The first step is to draw the exterior elevation in a perspective view using vanishing point lines. These are lines that gradually from two single points ray out until they connect to the perspective lines from an opposite side of the paper.

    21 Dec 2009 Stop Gap

    Death is defined as just rest place and stop gap
    Journey to heavenly abode and considered right step
    Birth in next world, if that is desired, dependent on His will
    Happy ending if one is contended and rightly feels

    It is not preferred by anybody but till it comes
    No one is happy about it and doesn’t welcome
    New birth is celebrated with joy and fun fare
    No one tries to knows how it comes and from where?

    If death really would not have been the fear factor?
    People would have interfered in all the sectors
    Leaving of this world makes them real little scary
    Otherwise they would have been left with no worry

    They could have defied temporal authority
    Simply not have bowed head before almighty
    Life would have been made tough and living hell
    Things could have been made dreary and not well

    16 Dec 2009 The Magic in Video Editing

    Do you need most video tapes in your house taken during the holidays, birthday parties, summer getaways, and a great many other special occasions? Maybe some of them are merely sitting on the shelves and accumulating dust. Travelers typically carry camcorders because they would like to have fun memories and souvenirs from a foreign place they have visited. Piles of video tapes are sometimes no longer viewed but the magic in video editing changes that.

    Digital camcorders are less costly nowadays and so you can simply capture film footage of high quality. If you have a capture card, good editing software, and computer indoors, you can start editing the videos you’ve collected in recent times. Once you have the final output, you will now be able to take care together with your friends.

    12 Dec 2009 Social Conditioning Can Influence Our Personal Perspectives

    Fate or free will is a continuing conundrum in human society as is the philosophical rhetoric about evolution or creationism. I am going to tackle both in this article. Why? When studying a subject that has a prophetic nature, fate or free will is a central point. When studying the cosmos as your field of possibilities, it is natural to wonder how it all came about. If you have a firm belief system in one or the other of either pair of ideas under discussion, such belief system negates the possibility of examining all avenues of approach. It does not make you right, it just makes you rigid. We all come to the table with preconditioning, religious or philosophical beliefs, and experiences that have directed us in a specific manner. Since life is so varied and complex, one experience or belief system just does not cover all the possibilities. Sure, you can explain it all with a blanket statement of your personal beliefs. But again, this does not make you right and you will not convince others who lack your conditioning, beliefs or experiences.
