AutoProject started working on their wide body kit for the AMG C63. Quite frankly I am liking the direction they are taking. Matter of fact I like the finished product in which I will post in a few days.

My obsession grows with every passing day for the the new entry level AMG Car. In which next year I will most likely pull the trigger on one if all the business plans go as planned then it will be a very feasible purchase. check out some pics and info below.

(from Mercedes-Benz Press Release) In the German Touring Car Championships (DTM) the new AMG C-Class ensures exciting motor racing at the highest level, and now its roadgoing sister model is celebrating its debut: the new C 63 AMG. Its AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine develops a peak output of 336 kW/457 hp and a maximum torque of 600 newton metres – unrivalled figures in this segment. Accordingly the C 63 AMG accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds, while its top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h. In conjunction with an all-new front axle, speed-sensitive AMG sports steering and the new, 3-stage ESP Ò, the AMG sports suspension ensures both outstanding driving enjoyment and exemplary handling dynamics. A combination of expressive design, a decidedly sporty interior and a high level of everyday practicality makes the C 63 AMG a unique high-performance car. The market launch will commence in early 2008.

With the new C 63 AMG, Mercedes-AMG GmbH is making a confident statement to mark the 40th birthday of the company. The new V8 flagship model is now the fifth generation of the AMG C-Class, whose family tree goes back to the C 36 AMG of 1993 – the very first vehicle developed as a cooperative venture between Daimler-Benz and AMG.

Merely the appearance of the C 63 AMG is impressive enough, with its wide, road-hugging stance. The new bonnet with its prominent power domes conceals the independently developed AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine, which develops a fulminating 336 kW/457 hp at 6800 rpm from a displacement of 6208 cubic centimetres. In this respect the C 63 AMG comes very close to the 470 or so horsepower delivered by the AMG C-Class racing touring car in the DTM series. This high output also benefits the power-to-weight ratio, which is a very favourable 3.6 kg/hp.

The torque developed by the AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine need fear no comparison either. The maximum of 600 newton metres at 5000 rpm is unrivalled in this class, and the torque curve is equally impressive: from 2000 to 6250 rpm the driver always has more than 500 newton metres on tap – ideal for powerful acceleration in any engine speed range.

V8 with thoroughbred racing technology and a designer exhaust note

Introduced in 2005, the V8 engine is installed in numerous AMG high-performance cars and excels with its thoroughbred motor sports technology.

Perfect cylinder charging is guaranteed by the vertical arrangement of the intake and exhaust ducts, as well as the magnesium variable intake manifold with two integral throttle flaps. Other high-tech features include variable camshaft adjustment, four-valve technology with bucket-type tappets, a particularly rigid aluminium crankcase of closed-deck design and the low-friction TWAS coating on the cylinder contact surfaces.
Among the particular strengths of the AMG V8 engine are outstanding responsiveness and enormous pulling power – by virtue of its large displacement, it develops over 30 percent more torque than comparable engines in this performance class. Electronically controlled fuel delivery is another reason for the outstanding agility and responsiveness to movements of the accelerator. With its sporty AMG sound, which was designed-in during a series of sophisticated trials, this eight-cylinder powerpack from Affalterbach offers the unique excitement of a fast-revving, naturally aspirated engine – an audible and immediate experience whether at low, medium or high engine speeds.

In the interests of optimal reliability, the C 63 AMG has a particularly efficient water cooling system and large engine and transmission oil coolers. Located behind the large apertures in the AMG front apron, these coolers ensure non-critical operating temperatures at all times – even under the extreme stress of the racetrack.

Like all AMG high-performance engines, the AMG 6.3-litre V8 is built in the AMG engine shop on the traditional “one man, one engine” principle. This means that one technician is responsible for hand-assembling a complete V8 engine to the highest quality standards – which is attested to by his signature on the AMG engine plate.

AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G-TRONIC with blipping function

This high-performance eight-cylinder engine has the perfect partner in the form of the AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G-TRONIC transmission. Equipped with AMG steering wheel shift paddles and three driving modes, the seven-speed automatic transmission allows a decidedly sporty or more comfort-oriented style of driving according to the driver’s preference. The different modes – “S” (Sport), ” C” (Comfort) and “M” (Manual) differ in their shift characteristics and speed: gearshifts in “S” mode are around 30 percent faster than in “C”, and no less than around 50 percent faster in “M” mode.

Pressing a button is sufficient to activate the desired driving programme.

The new C 63 AMG is the very first AMG car to feature an automatic throttle-blipping function during downshifts. This not only enhances the driver’s emotional experience – the almost completely jolt-free downshifting process also reduces the load-change responses and has a particularly positive effect when braking before bends on the racetrack.

Redesigned front axle with 35-millimetre wider track

The C 63 AMG owes its outstanding handling dynamics to the AMG sports suspension and an all-new three-link front axle design. The stiff configuration of the springs and gas-pressure shock absorbers ensures optimal road contact and low body movements when negotiating serpentine bends at speed. The new front axle has a 35-millimetre wider track – visible by the more widely flared wheel arches – and therefore ensures lower dynamic wheel loads when cornering. A number of features make for substantially more stability and precision in all driving situations: the redesigned wheel location at the front axle is 100 percent more rigid, leading to a considerable improvement in steering precision. Another benefit makes itself felt when braking, as the new wheel location ensures an immediate response even under high dynamic stresses.

In combination with completely newly configured elasto-kinematics, the new wheel location provides greatly improved lateral dynamics and allows the driver of the C 63 AMG to benefit from significantly higher cornering speeds. A larger torsion bar stabiliser, new head bearings and dampers with rebound buffer springs further enhance this stability and precision. Steering feedback is also improved by the new kinematics. The speed-sensitive AMG sports steering has a ratio of 13.5:1, but feels more direct as a result of moving what is termed the instant centre of motion at the front axle. A more rigid Hardy disc in the steering column, as well as modified steering characteristics, make a further contribution to increased precision.

The multi-link independent rear suspension has also been thoroughly re-engineered, with a twelve-millimetre wider track and more camber leading to improved cornering performance. Reinforced drive shafts and drive joints increase fatigue strength and round off the improvements to the rear suspension of the C 63 AMG.

The completely newly developed AMG sports suspension combines outstanding handling dynamics with the long-distance comfort to be expected of a Mercedes – which also means that the C 63 AMG has the characteristic virtues of a genuine AMG.

18-inch AMG light-alloy wheels, 19-inch wheel/tyre combination on request

The C 63 AMG is appropriately fitted with new, 18-inch AMG light-alloy wheels in a five-spoke design. Painted in titanium grey, these high-sheen wheels in size 8.0 x 18 and 8.5 x 18 are shod with wide-base tyres in size 235/40 R 18 (front) and 255/35 R 18 (rear). Even more dynamic handling is made possible by the optionally available 19-inch AMG light-alloy wheels in a multi-spoke design. The front wheels are in size 8.0 x 19 with 235/35 tyres, with 9.0 x 19 wheels and 255/30 R 19 tyres at the rear.
Generously dimensioned AMG high-performance braking system

Internally ventilated and perforated disc brakes all-round reside behind the spokes of the AMG wheels. The front brakes have size 360 x 36-millimetre discs with six-piston fixed callipers, while deceleration at the rear is by 330 x 26-millimetre discs with four-piston fixed callipers. The AMG high-performance braking system is characterised by great sensitivity and high fade-resistance.

3-stage ESPÒ with Sport function as a new feature in the C 63 AMG

The Electronic Stability Program ESPÒ is specifically configured for the dynamic performance of the C 63 AMG, which is the first AMG model to feature the 3-stage ESPÒ with a Sport function. This system offers three different control settings, and is a logical further development of the AMG ESPÒ philosophy. The ESP key in the centre console enables the driver to choose between three modes – “ESP ON”, “ESP SPORT” and “ESP OFF” – the currently active mode is shown in the central display of the AMG instrument cluster.

In “ESP ON” mode, the onset of handling instability leads to braking intervention at one or more of the wheels, accompanied by a reduction in engine torque. Briefly pressing the ESP key activates “ESP SPORT”. In this mode the braking intervention to counter oversteer or understeer, as well as the accompanying reduction in engine torque, allows a higher dynamic threshold and, for instance, corresponding drift angles – which means that the driver of the C 63 AMG benefits from considerably more active driving pleasure. ESP Ò is restored to its normal function as soon as the brake pedal is operated.

Prolonged pressure on the ESP key activates “ESP OFF”. There is no intervention to control the handling dynamics, and no reduction in engine torque – thus increasing driving enjoyment even further. “ESP OFF” should only be used by experienced drivers on dedicated racetracks. In this mode too, operating the brake pedal restores all the normal functions of ESPÒ. The system’s traction logic is active in all three ESP Ò modes. If one of the drive wheels threatens to spin, specific brake pressure is applied to create the effect of a mechanical differential lock. This means that the engine power is optimally transferred to the road.

More distinctive exterior design than ever before

It is not only in technological but also in visual terms that the new C 63 AMG is more distinctively different from the standard C-Class than ever before. The front end is dominated by the new bonnet with its two pronounced power domes, as well as the trademark AMG radiator grille with a central star and two louvres with chrome inserts. The honeycomb pattern of the grille is also reflected in the large air dams of the new, athletically contoured front apron which forms part of the AMG-specific bodystyling. The fog lamps with chrome surrounds are spaced well apart, acting together with the flared front wheel arches to accentuate the width of the car – with the striking transition from the front apron to the wings leaving a particularly strong impression. The side air vents in the front apron serve to expel the hot air from the oil coolers. If the C 63 AMG is specified with the optional bi-xenon headlamps or the Intelligent Light System, the headlamps are also dark-tinted.

Eye-catching features when viewed from the side include the 18-inch AMG light-alloy wheels, the harmoniously integrated “6.3 AMG” lettering on the front wing and the AMG side skirts. At the rear the standard LED rear lights, the AMG rear apron with its black diffuser insert and three pronounced diffuser fins, as well as the AMG sports exhaust system with two chrome twin tailpipes, provide further visual highlights that are hallmarks of the brand. The AMG spoiler lip on the boot lid reduces lift and ensures greater handling stability at high speeds.

AMG interior with new sports seats and performance steering wheel

This decidedly sporty theme is continued in the interior of the C 63 AMG, which now has special AMG sports seats with integral head restraints for the first time. The seats not only feature a new design with cross-piping and AMG lettering, but also an adaptive backrest with adjustments for the side bolsters and lumbar support. The standard upholstery in ARTICO man-made leather/AMG fabric is available in a choice of black or reef grey – or as an option the interior can be further enhanced with particularly high-grade leather in black, reef grey or black/sahara beige. Perfect handling control is assured with the new AMG performance steering wheel in a three-spoke design, which has a rim diameter of 365 millimetres and a flattened lower section. The upper section is covered in perforated leather, and two silver AMG shift paddles enable the gears to be shifted manually.

AMG main menu with a wide variety of displays

The trademark AMG instrument cluster in a tubular design features newly styled dials, AMG-specific lettering and a new night-time design. Eye-catching details include the 320 km/h speedometer scale, AMG lettering, red needles and the “6.3 V8″ logo in the rev counter. The AMG main menu in the central display allows numerous settings, with “Warm Up”, “Set Up” and “RACE” modes activated via buttons on the AMG performance steering wheel. “Warm Up” displays the engine oil and coolant temperature, “Set Up” the current ESP Ò mode and the transmission mode “S”, “C” or “M”. “RACE” mode makes the RACETIMER available, with which the driver is able to measure lap times on a racetrack.

Development and design of the C 63 AMG

Creating a new car is a complex undertaking, and this certainly applies to the new Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG whose conceptual phase commenced in 2004. This began with the fundamental feasibility study known as packaging. The new C 63 AMG was first constructed as a digital model, the engine, cooling system, fuel system, drive train and axles being “married” with the bodyshell to examine buildability. In spring 2005 the first 1:4-scale design models were produced on the basis of drawings and computer images, and in addition the first testing & development vehicles were already built on the basis of the preceding C 55 AMG. This made it possible to test major assemblies such as the drive train, brakes and axles. The latest onboard measuring technology provided valuable data such as engine oil, coolant and brake disc temperatures – but other aspects of interest were lap times e.g. on the north loop of the Nürburgring, as well as measurable, precisely defined handling manoeuvres to provide comparisons between different axle configurations. These tests were accompanied by extensive aerodynamic tests on the bodyshell of the C 63 AMG, and it was only then that the final design was approved.

Following approval of the concept in the autumn of 2005, the first fully-fledged prototypes of the C 63 AMG were built. At the same time the high-performance saloon was also produced as a digital prototype. Computer simulations made it possible for the “real” development prototypes to exhibit a very high level of maturity during the first rollout. These simulations included the most important vehicle functions, such as handling dynamics, the engine and drive train, bodyshell durability, suspension performance, passive safety, the engine’s thermal characteristics and performance/fuel consumption.

From Affalterbach to every climatic zone on earth

The standardised and highly sophisticated AMG development and test programme for the C 63 AMG began in summer 2005. Over the next couple of years around 20 vehicles were dispatched all over the world from Mercedes-AMG GmbH in Affalterbach, to be subjected to strenuous tests in every climatic zone.

Test, analyse and optimise – that is the creed of the specialists at AMG to achieve the objectives laid down in the book of specifications. Another decisive aspect was an ongoing dialogue between Design and Development, so that any necessary technical modifications were also implemented in design terms.

No. 36
So in relation to No. 61 I tried four new cocktails on Friday night. I tried:

Basil Grande
A living classic – Chambord Black Raspberry Liqueur and Grand Marnier shaken with fresh strawberries, cranberry juice, fresh basil and black pepper

Long Vodka
A double shot of Ketel One Vodka combines sublimely with fresh lime, sugar syrup and lemonade in an Angostura rinsed glass to create this true classic

Lemon Tart
A gloriously crisp and refreshing drink combining Ketel One Citroen Vodka, Old Fashioned Bitters, fresh lemon and sugar

Ciroc Sling
A refreshingly long drink with Ciroc Super Premium Vodka, Cointreau, fresh ginger, Seville orange marmalade, pressed apple, sugar and lime

All of them were gorgeous, I have a couple of photos somewhere I will upload soon!

No. 61
I met up with four internet weirdies on Friday, only one of whom I’d met very briefly a long time ago. We had a lovely meal and then went for drinks and I had a really great time and I might even be able to mark of part of No. 64

Well, it’s Friday December 15th, this is the last day of the academy. I should be gathering all my stuff from my locker and saying good-bye to all the friends I’ve made. Instead I’m sitting at my computer at home, typing out this email.

What happened?

Fortunately, I didn’t lose my job. I’m still employed by the Annapolis Fire Department. I have successfully completed the academy and – as the general consensus goes- am the academic leader. I’ve got my station assignment for field training, 36- Eastport, Engine Company. I know my schedule for next year. I’ve got my uniforms and gear, and all that happy stuff.

I’ve also got surgery scheduled for Tuesday December 19th to fix the tripod fracture of the right orbital bone in my face.

No, Mary didn’t haul off and smack me one… Stupid me passed out after getting a shot in the arm and took a header onto the concrete floor. I’m off work at least until Jan 2nd and have a peachy Christmas of swelling and Percocet to look forward to.

Yippee.

Se volvia temblona
al hablar de la guerra
cristalinos sus ojos,
se llenaba de pena.

Oscuros recuerdos
helaban sus venas
nacionales y rojos
fuselajes y condenas.

Hijas con preguntas,
 hambre y temor,
el dolor de viuda.

La soledad, la duda,
la rabia, el dolor,
el reflejo, de una vida dura…

Homenaje a mis mayores en especial a mi bisabuela, de la mejor forma que lo sé hacer, en verso.

Nr. 32 hat mich verlassen, weil sie sich in einen ihrer anderen verliebt hat, ganz großartig. Nr. 33 hat sich wieder mit mir getroffen und möchte eine Beziehung, aber wohl nur weil es schick ist und sie nicht einfach nur ficken kann/will. Außerdem macht es sie nicht wirklich klüger. Wie dem auch sei, die sexuelle Anziehungskraft schien auch schon mal größer gewesen zu sein.

Nr. 36 – meine neuste Eroberung war im Bett großartig (meistens) ist aber auch nichts fürs Herz. Ich glaube den Rest des Jahres verbringe ich im Zölibat…

If you STILL do not know about the ChartJackers, read this first.

Last night the ChartJackers project came to an end. This post is an update to my post last night about the ChartJackers.

THEY ARE NUMBER 36! YES, OFFIC IAL UK CHARTS LIST THE CHARTJACKERS ON 36!
That would be enough caps lock I’d say.

Ok, awesomeness, the ChartJackers did it. Lots of text and Reggie Yates ( the BBC DJ ) said people to support the guys. Nerimon was in the show via the phone and awesomeness arose. I will see if I can find the bit with the ChartJackers later on, will update on that tomorrow if I can.

Everyone, buy the song if you haven’t yet. UK based people will get the lads perhaps in next weeks charts!
Non-UK based people. your money still goes to charity for the eternal everness. SO BUY IT!

Daily Quote: ‘I’m peng. I didn’t know whether it was  an insult or what so I was confused. My family all called me peng. It means good looking’. – Reggie Yates in the chart show today.

Also, Calvin Harris had a pineapple on his head at the X Factor during Jedwards performance. See it here. Apparently he had tweeted a Twitpic the night before saying IMPORTANT! (see the Twitpic here)  When you clicked the link all you saw was a picture of a pineapple. It all makes sense now. He got kicked of the show though.

Have a ChartJacking day (:

Uyan dostum, uyan(7)! Işık artık ne doğudan, ne de batıdan yükseliyor… iş başa düştü. Bu birbirine düşmüş iki kutup arasında ne idüğü belirsiz bir köprü olmak ve kuralları şartlar tarafından belirlenen bir senteze zorlanmak kaderimiz olamaz. Sanatçılar, bilim insanları ve düşünce üretenler şartlara göre hareket eden değil, şartları belirleme durumda olanlardır.

Batı kendini 21. yüzyıla taşıyamamıştır. “World Music” adı altındaki ticari çırpınmaları, klasik müzik orkestralarının Hollywood filmlerine, Caz’ın da porno filmlere meze olması, Rock müzik denen hareketin, bülbülün ölmeden önce söylediği son şarkı olduğunun kanıtıdır. Rock öleli çok oluyor. Diğer sanat dallarının da sinemadan başka sığınacak yerleri kalmamıştır. Sinemayı kimin yönettiği de ortada.

Batının felsefesi çökmüştür. Doğudan yakın bir gelecekte zaten bir umudum yok. Olsa olsa Çin’dir yeni kaynaklardan biri. Bu da hoş bir durum, rakibimiz var demek. İşe yarar. (Ya Rusya?)

Sentezci olmak yerine taraf olmak hep daha doğru gelmişti (sentezciliğin de taraf olmak olduğuna yeni uyandım). Benim kişisel örneğimde bu “Rock”çılık anlamına geliyordu. Hem 70′lerde hem de 90′larda Türkiye’deki “Rock” batıdan oldukça farklı, bambaşka anlamlar taşırdı (80′leri atladım acaba niye?). Ama görünen o ki Türk Rock’ı da sentezden kurtulamadı… köprüyüz ya. Yeni bir oluşum yaratmak ve çocuğa bir isim koymak zorundayız. Artık dünyanın bulunduğu noktayı anlamamız, Türkiye ve de özellikle İstanbul gibi bir ortamın bize yüklediği görevden kaçmamamız gerekiyor. Zaten belli isimler daha adı konmamış bile olsa bu yeni yapılanmanın tohumlarını atıyor. Ben elbette ki bunun sadece müzik tarafının detaylarına şahit oluyorum. Eminim ki diğer sanat ve bilim dallarında ve düşünce gerektiren konularda da böyle bir hareketlilik yaşanıyor. Bunun aksini düşünmek bana akılcı gelmiyor. Zira ortada mecburi bir tarihi görev var.

2005 yılı itibariyle Türkiye’de en çok kullanılan silah, inkar ve görmezden gelme silahıdır. Yapılması şart olan bir yığın iş şu an içinde bulunduğumuz bu sisli ortamda yanlış ellere teslim edilmekte, pırıl pırıl bir yığın gence de baskı uygulayarak sırf ticaret uğruna saçma sapan işler yaptırılmaktadır. Ortaya konan eserler de ya sentez tuzağına düşüp gerçek amacına hizmet edememekte ya da artık kısır alışkanlık haline gelmiş bir takım siyasi mücadelelerin oyuncakları olmaktadır. Böylelikle de beslenebileceğimiz kaynaklar yok edilmektedir. Bu durum başka bir yığın konuya da çok benziyor; mesela bazı yer altı kaynaklarımızın kullanılamaması ya da yabancılar tarafından kullanılıyor olması gibi… İlginç bir benzerlik değil mi? Buna direnmeye çalışan, ya yapayalnız ya da çok küçük izole gruplar olarak mücadele veren bir avuç çılgın da çevresine ve kendine güvensizlikle yaklaşmakta, fikir ve yeteneklerinin ancak küçük bir kısmını aktarabilmektedir. Bu çılgınlar, kanalların ne miktar tıkalı olduğunu bilmektedir. Diğer yandan çok daha büyük bir kesim küsmüş olarak kaçma yollarını aramakta, green card ve benzeri tuzaklarla hayaller görmektedir. Ve ikinci kesim için kanal diye bir şey zaten yoktur. 2004 yılında 1.800.000 gencin üniversite sınavına girdiği, 2005′te ise bu sayının 2 milyonu aşmasının beklendiği, bu kadar genç bir Türkiye’nin gençlerine umut aşılayamamasının tarihi faturasını acaba kim ödeyecek? Umut konusunu geçtim… acaba istihdam sorununu ne tip bir kavramsal yapılanmayla çözmeyi planlıyoruz? Avrupa’yı istilayla mı? Hatalar silsilesi… üstelik belki mecburi ama anlamsız hatalar. Işık artık ne doğudan, ne de batıdan yükseliyor. İş hepimizin başına düştü!

Türkiye’de şu anda müzik adına bir şeyler yapıyoruz ama hiç bir aleti üretemiyor, penalarımızı bile dışarıdan satın alıyoruz. Belki bilgisayar programı yazıyoruz ama CPU’larına muhtacız. Resim yapıyoruz ama bilemiyorum boyalar nereden geliyor… Bu örnekler daha da artırılabilir. Ve bunlar demin bahsettiğim sisli ortamın sonuçlarıdır. Zira üretim zincirlerini ikna edebilecek ve “Çin’le yarışamayız” safsatasını yıkabilecek fikirlerin yaratılabilmesinin önündeki engelleri bizzat biz kendimiz kuruyoruz. O fikir havuzudur ki bunu ancak sanatçılar ve bilim insanları oluşturabilirler. Ancak bunun hep böyle gitmeyeceğine dair o kadar çok gösterge var ki… Eğer bu yazıyı bu noktaya kadar sabırla okumuşsanız zaten bu göstergelerden biri de sizsiniz. Çünkü her ne sebeple olursa olsun şu ana kadar ortaya koyduğum tezin ne olduğunu sınamaya çalışıyorsunuz. Burada anlattığım sorunların en azından bir kaç tanesini bizzat yaşadığınıza eminim. Sorunları fark etmek çözüme doğru giden yolda ilk adımdır. Ve bu bir göstergedir.

Ancak bu göstergeleri bu fikir havuzunun varlığını tescil etmekle yükümlü ancak bu konuda zaafı olan geleneksel medyadan net bir şekilde takip edebilmek mümkün değildir. Çünkü o medya da elbette ki tüm bu sisli ortamdan nasibini almış, aynı kafası karışık felsefe içinde mutsuzluğuna ve umutsuzluğuna katlanarak hayatını idame ettirmekte, anlatmaya mecbur kılındıklarını aktarmakta ya da doğudan, batıdan aynı tükenmişlikleri yeniden ve yeniden sıralamakta, geçmiş hayallere methiyeler düzmekle vakit kaybetmektedir. Bir yanda kaynana, diğer yanda da din pazarlayanların arasında sıkışıp kalmış, sanat adına ne varsa batıdan satın alarak ve bunu allayıp pullayıp kara dönüştürenlerin dünyasından bahsediyorum. Ancak burada da (sayıları az bile olsa) belli isimler bir şeylerin yanlış olduğunun farkındadır. Şartlar uygun olduğunda kendilerini gösterecek ve gelişmeye tüm desteklerini vereceklerdir. Şartları uygun kılmak da elbette ki sanatçılar ve bilim insanlarına düşer.

Yeniden söylüyorum; doğu ve batı tükenmişliklerinin savaşını veriyorlar. Bu bir petrol veya toprak savaşı değildir. Bu ancak çökmüş vizyonların kapışmasıdır. Umutsuz insanların hayvani yanlarının ortaya çıkmasıdır. Söyleyecek bir lafı kalmayanın tekme tokat saldırmasıdır. Artık bize beslenebileceğimiz bir fikir ortamı sunmaktan çok uzaklar. Bu fikir ortamını biz yaratmak, geliştirmek zorundayız. Hem tarihi hem de coğrafi olarak bulunduğumuz durum bunu gerektirmektedir. Bunun ayaklarından biri elbette ki müziktir. Sanat insanlık tarihi boyunca bir yandan durumun ne olduğunu saptarken, diğer yandan da geleceğin nasıl olacağına dair yönlendirme işlevi görmüştür. Belki yeni enstrümanlar yapacağız (bunu yapabilenler var biliyorum). Belki nota sistemini yeniden yazacağız (matematikçiler, fizikçiler tanıyorum). Belki de kayıt teknolojisinin yerine yepyeni bir kavram getireceğiz (kafası açık gençler var eminim). Yaratıcı güce mecbur kalacağımız yıllar geliyor. Bundan kaçış yok. Dünyada yapılmış hemen herşeyi yapabilecek teknik altyapı, işgücü ve organizasyon kabiliyeti çok ama çok kısa bir sürede bu topraklara yerleşti. Sıra artık fikir liderliğindedir. Bunun da tek yolu bu güce sahip gençlerin birbirlerini ciddiye almasından, kıskançlıktan uzak ama acımasızca bir eleştiri ortamı kurmalarından ve doğruyu çevrelerine yaymalarından geçer. Türkiye’li ve İstanbul’lu sanatçılar ve bilim insanları üzerlerine dikilmiş milyonlarca gözün artık farkına varmalılar.

Ben bu yazdığım satırların bir öngörü olduğu kanaatindeyim. Bıyık altından gülenler, hayalperest diyenler, konuyu tamamen yanlış anladığımı düşünenler ve de hiç işlerine gelmediğinden dolayı yine aynı taktiği (inkar ve görmezden gelme) uygulayacak olanlar olacaktır. Bu sisli ortamda bu çok doğal. Zaten çoğumuz bu duruma alışığız. Ancak şunu net olarak görmek lazım; bu dediğim değişim hareketi halihazırda mevcuttur ve inkar edilemez örnekleriyle hakim medyaya bile sirayet etmeye başlamıştır. Türkiye’de değişimler hiç bir zaman yavaş olmadı. Bunu bir de dünyanın içinde bulunduğu çıkmaz perspektifiyle değerlendirirsek tarih içindeki yerimiz, önemimiz ve görevimiz çok daha belirgin bir şekilde görünür. Elbette ki görmek ve sorumluluğu almak isteyenler için.

Sonuç olarak soruyorum; dünyanın çivisi çıkmış, onu yerine kim çakacak? Doğu mu, batı mı? Yoksa?

Ultima actualizare a Listei Rosii a animalelor amenintate cu disparitia, realizata de IUCN, arata ca 17,291 de specii din cele 47,677 studiate sunt pe cale de disparitie. Rezultatul arata ca 21% din mamifere, 30% din amfibieni, 12% din pasari si 28% din reptile, 37% din pestii de apa dulce, 70% din plante
si 35% din nevertebrate sunt amenintate.

“Aceasta este dovada stiintifica a confruntarii cu criza serioasa in ceea ce priveste extinctiile”, a declarat Jane Smart, director al grupului de conservare al biodiversitatii din cadrul IUCN. “In ianuarie se lanseaza Anul International al Biodiversitatii. Ultima analiza a Listei Rosii arata ca tinta din 2010 de a reducere pierderea biodiversitati nu va fi atinsa. Este timpul ca guvernele sa inceapa sa se preocupe serios de salvarea speciilor si sa se asigure ca este pe agenda lor la anul, intrucat nu mai avem timp”, a mai spus Smart, citat de Realitatea.net.

Dintre cele 5,490 de mamifere din lume, 79 sunt deja disparute sau disparute in salbaticie, 188 sunt critic amenintate cu disparitia, 449 sunt amenintate si 505 vulnerabile. Rozatorul voalavo (Voalavo antsahabensis) apare pe Lista Rosie ca amenintat pentru prima oara. Aceasta specie, endemica in Madagascar, traieste doar in padurile tropicale montane si este amenintata de incendierile agricultorilor. Broasca Kihansi (Nectophrynoides asperginis) a disparut din salbaticie. Aceasta specie exista doar langa Cascada Kinhasi din Tanzani, unde avea o populatie de cel putin 17.000 de exemplare. A disparut insa rapid dupa ce s-a construit un baraj ce a scos 90% din apa cascadei. Acestea sunt doar doua exemple din tragediile biodiversitatii din acest an.

How do I dramatize thee? Let my count the ways…  All 36 of them.

These immortal words were uttered by Georges Polti who concluded there were only 36 basic stories after studying numerous Greek, Latin and French works. Many are similar, but they all contain elements of struggle and conflict.

Should you be worried about plagiarism? No. Storytelling has been around since the dawn of humanity. From drawings on cave walls to speech to writing, the same stories have have been recycled in different ways to depict the social fabric of the times. And storytelling will continue along the same path. There is a limit to human emotions and the number of story types that can illuminate them and our needs. It is your take on each story type that makes your story original. This is actually good news since you have a story framework in which to work. That is how you will excel as lover. A tale of doomed lovers from warring families can range from warring tribes, to Shakespearean times through to modern day times when lovers are being pulled apart by socio-economic and cultural factors.

The rules of dramaturgy transgress all genres. However, their execution  differs. Consider the previous example. The same rule applies in the comedic “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” (although the lovers didn’t die). The beauty of this framework is that is covers the majority of the human population. Every culture can relate to the notion of “star crossed lovers”. Hollywood loves this sort of stuff. Even if your story is more personal, smaller and lower budget, the same rules apply because they are a precursor to addressing audience expectations.

Take a deep breath and let us explore.

1. Supplication (asking for help)

Elements: a Supplicant, a Persecutor and a Power in authority, whose decision is doubtful.

The Supplicant is chased, harmed or otherwise threatened by the Persecutor and begs for help from the Power in Authority. These include films about being trapped, the underdog and characters at their lowest ebb.

2. Deliverance (being rescued)

Elements: an Unfortunate, a Threatener, a Rescuer.

The Unfortunate is threatened in some way by the Threatener and is saved by the Rescuer. These films relate to our basic physiological need for safety and security. They include the “knight in shining armour stories such as Cinderella.

3. Crime Pursued by Vengeance (revenge)

Elements: an Avenger and a Criminal

The Avenger wreaks vengeance on the Criminal for past crimes. These films cater to our need to vent our anger and provide a resolution to our problem and to see justice done. These include the ‘Saw’ films where our crime is not appreciating life.

4. Vengeance Taken for Kindred Upon Kindred (avenging bad deeds to our loved ones)

Elements: Avenging Kinsman; Guilty Kinsman; Remembrance of the Victim, a Relative of Both

One family member, the Guilty Kinsman, harms another (the Victim). They are punished for this serious transgression by an Avenging Kinsman. These films play on our propensity for anger and the security, safety and social code that our families provide. Despite the wrong doing, the means justify the ends. These films include mafia, mobster films.

5. Pursuit (chase)

Elements: Punishment and Fugitive

A Fugitive is pursued, caught and Punished for some miscreant act. This caters to our need for excitement by not getting caught and our seeking of knowledge, justice and truth. Such a quest is the basis for many religions and philosophies. Such movies include ‘The Insider”, one man’s struggles against corporate forces.

6. Disaster (physical, emotional, spiritual)

Elements: a Vanquished Power; a Victorious Enemy or a Messenger

A calamitous event occurs. These stories are an outgrowth of the human ego and our ability to suffer heavy losses and emerge stronger than before. They are part of our coping mechanisms and metaphors for life as we explore the tenacity and indestructibility of the human spirit. They relate to our need for survival and protecting our loved ones. Such films include “Independence Day”. We also experience hope as that is what helps us overcome obstacles.

7. Falling Prey to Cruelty or Misfortune (loss of innocence)

Elements: an Unfortunate; a Master or a Misfortune. These are children’s stories whose naivety brings them harm. Harm to children tends to generate more intense emotions of anger and outrage among audiences than harm to adults. However, the innocence of children brings us in touch with our early lives.

8. Revolt (uprising)

Elements: Tyrant and Conspirator

The Conspirator leads or contributes to a revolt against an oppressive Tyrant. These films, such as those dealing with overthrowing an evil king or bringing down a crime boss helps us experience rebellion. These feelings are particularly apparent during adolescence which is a key stage in our quest for self identity. We experience sympathy for the oppressed and gives us a sense of achievement and controlling our destinies.

9. Daring Enterprise (perilous quest)

Elements: a Bold Leader; an Object; an Adversary

These films include rites of passage such as “Star Wars”. They deal with issues of maturity, identity, respect by others and self esteem. Typically an heir to the throne must undertake a perilous journey to obtain something. Think Jason and the Argonauts.

10. Abduction (kidnapped)

Elements: the Abductor; the Abducted; the Guardian

The Abducted person is taken by the Abductor. The Abducted may be rescued by a Guardian. These films help us experience emotions of fear of being forced into undesirable situations. The rescue brings us relief and safety. We also explore our need for freedom.

11. The Enigma (mystery)

Elements: Interrogator, Seeker and Problem

The Interrogator poses a Problem which the Seeker must solve. Films such as “Zodiac” and other serial killer movies where the killer leaves a series of clues the investigators must solve before solving the crime. Apart from the exhilaration of giving us a sense of control as the audience solves problems of life, we also need a sense of completion and closure.

12. Obtaining

Elements: a Solicitor and an Adversary Who is Refusing, or an Arbitrator and Opposing Parties

A Solicitor requests something of the Adversary, who refuses to cooperate or, there are Opposing Parties who cannot reach agreement and so their dispute is resolved by the Arbitrator. These films mirror our lives to varying degrees and help us deal with tension and conflict. Such films include “Kramer versus Kramer”.

13. Enmity of Kinsmen (bitter family feud)

Elements: a Malevolent Kinsman; a Hatred or Reciprocally Hating Kinsman

Two relatives hate one another (and act accordingly). These films explore the ugly side of humanity such as “Kane and Abel”, two brothers who  pit their wits against each other to the death. These films deal with the hate associated with people we don’t want in our lives because they cause us misery, but we can’t escape them.

14. Rivalry of Kinsmen (family feud)

Elements: the Preferred Kinsman; the Rejected Kinsman; the Object

Two relatives compete over an Object, often another person who shows more favor to the Preferred Kinsman and shows less favor to the Rejected Kinsman. These films are typical in soaps where siblings are fighting over an inheritance or control of the family company. The kinsmen (or women) don’t necessarily hate each other to begin with, but they display determination, self preservation and a desire to lack vulnerability by being in absolute control. The level of conflict is less than in enmity of kinship.

15. Murderous Adultery (hell hath no fury)

Elements: Two Adulterers; a Betrayed Husband or Wife

Adultery turns to violence as an Adulterer seeks to remove the Spouse or turns on the other Adulterer. Since adultery is generally not accepted in many societies, these films deal with the perpetrator and victim of wrongdoing. They aim to explore emotions of guilt, fear, denial and remorse. The murder can be metaphorical as couples have emerged from such situations.

16. Madness

Elements: Madman and Victim

A person becomes temporarily Mad, losing control and harming the Victim. In our quest to control our destinies, we are sometimes forced to relinquish power in a “moment of madness”. This helps us examine our mortality, our limits and generates anger and fear. Man has unsuccessfully been trying to control his environment since time immemorial. Since the madman (or woman) has temporarily lost control over their actions, these stories help us experience empathy, sympathy and pity, thereby helping us understand our fellow man.

17. Fatal Imprudence (mistakes)

Elements: The Imprudent; the Victim or the Object Lost

The Imprudent person loses an Object or causes harm to the Victim through unthinking imprudence, curiosity and general carelessness. These stories serve to remind us that we are imperfect beings and are susceptible to errors, some of which can have disastrous consequences.

18. Involuntary Crimes of Love (Oedipus complex)

Elements: the Lover, the Beloved; the Revealer

The Lover performs acts of love with the Beloved, only to find (via the Revealer) that the Beloved is a close relative. Such stories explore the social and genetic taboos of incest in many cultures. It evokes awareness, derision, disgust and fear, but also empathy as we battle the emotional dilemma of two siblings attracted to each other, but can never be together.

19. Slaying of a Kinsman Unrecognized

Elements: the Slayer, the Unrecognized Victim

The Slayer kills (or nearly kills or harms) the Unrecognized Victim, who is actually a relative or friend of the Slayer. Thus a seemingly justified act suddenly becomes unjustified. These stories help us explore justice and the flaws of humans who act based on incorrect information. We also experience sadness, pity and empathy for the perpetrator.

20. Self-Sacrifice for an Ideal (martyrdom)

Elements: the Hero; the Ideal; the ‘Creditor’ or the Person or Thing Sacrificed

The Hero gives up something for the sake of an Ideal. These stories explore our sense of society; individuality versus plurality or the parallels of life where we must go without to receive future benefits. These pose moral dilemmas where we are given two bad choices.

21. Self-Sacrifice for Kindred

Elements: the Hero; the Kinsman; the ‘Creditor’ or the Person or Thing Sacrificed

The Hero gives up something in order to help a relative or friend. Consider “Beauty and the Beast” where Belle agrees to stay with the Beast in order to free her father. These are tear-jerking stories which help us explore our social structures. They are life affirming and make us realize the beauty of humanity despite it’s flaws.

22. All Sacrificed for Passion

Elements: the Lover, the Object of the Fatal Passion; the Person or Thing Sacrificed

The Lover is impassioned by the Object to the point where they give up the Person or Thing, perhaps unwisely, blinded as they are their passion. These stories show human in distress and the extreme choices we make for matters of the heart. We sympathize with these people although we know that they are likely to follow. We feel the tension these stories evoke. Consider films like “Basic Instinct”, the ultimate erotic thriller.

23. Necessity of Sacrificing Loved Ones

Elements: the Hero; the Beloved Victim; the Necessity for the Sacrifice

The Hero is forced to sacrifice the Beloved Victim, based on the Necessity. Typically a hero has been chosen to fulfill his/ her destiny. They are driven my a sense of duty and higher good, even if it means sacrificing those we love. We feel the agony of such choices, but understand them due to their necessity.

24. Rivalry of Superior and Inferior

Elements: the Superior Rival; the Inferior Rival; the Object

The Superior Rival is set against an Inferior Rival, both vying for the Object of Rivalry. Rivalry is rife in our lives and stems from Darwin’s theory of natural selection; the survival of the fittest. However, in humans, the fittest may not always win if they use trickery and subterfuge. Such stories explore our propensity for jealously and our use or misuse of power. Think of the king who has his opponents killed.

25. Adultery

Elements: a Deceived Husband or Wife; Two Adulterers

The Deceived Spouse is cuckolded by Two Adulterers, one the partner of the Deceived Spouse. These stories deal with issues of betrayal, anger and trust. The afflicted may seek revenge or walk away a stronger person.

26. Crimes of Love

Elements: The Lover, the Beloved

The Lover loves the Beloved, but this love is illicit in some way, breaking social codes. These stories emerge from our desire to live free from the oppressive forces of social mores. They explore our desire for individuality and self expression.

27. Discovery of the Dishonor of a Loved One

Elements: the Discoverer; the Guilty One

The Guilty One brings shame on their kin by a dishonorable act. They are discovered by the Dishonorer. Honor and moral duty are highly esteemed tenets of social order. Any breach by a relative triggers a moral dilemma among relatives and loved ones. Consider the “horror” of a white women dating a black man in “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner”.

28. Obstacles to Love

Elements: Two Lovers, an Obstacle

Two Lovers want to be together, but they are prevented from doing so by some difficult Obstacle. These stories relate to impediments to unions and ultimately marriage. Obstacles can be inter-racial, inter-culture, inter-religion or inter-class to name a few These moral dilemmas relate to values, upbringing and belief systems. Consider the backlash of certain groups at the prospect of same sex marriage.

29. An Enemy Loved

Elements: The Beloved Enemy; the Lover; the Hater

The Lover loves the Beloved Enemy. The Hater hates the Lover for this betrayal. More affairs of the heart. We can’t chose who we fall in love with and it can bring bitter consequences. We are hard wired to be attracted to powerful, attractive, healthy people who can provide for us and give us viable offspring. We either know we are in love with the wrong person, or in denial of their evil. The hater is a relative, friend of confidante of the lover and tries to interfere with the relationship after much deliberation.

30. Ambition

Elements: an Ambitious Person; a Thing Coveted; an Adversary

The Ambitious person Covets a Thing, however that ambition is guarded against by an Adversary. Ambition can relate to good fortune, a person or an object. It relates to that which we desire but is not yet within our reach. These stories relate to our need for security, safety and control.

31. Conflict With a God

Elements: a Mortal, an Immortal

The Mortal challenges the Immortal. There are consequences. Man has long believed in higher powers to explain his existence. We have sacrificed lambs to please the gods and blamed natural disasters on them if we have done wrong. These are extreme stories of the hero often not succeeding in overcoming an obstacle and ends up dead. If not dead, then shaken and wiser from the experience. Such conflicts highlight man’s limitations and mortality, but we pit our strength against the gods all the same, and lose.

32. Mistaken Jealousy

Elements: the Jealous One; the Object of Whose Possession He is Jealous; the Supposed Accomplice; the Cause or the Author of the Mistake

The Jealous person, through some Cause or Author, appears to becomes jealous of some Object. There may also be a Supposed Accomplice. Again, these stories highlight the imperfection of man. When we are manipulated, or manipulate others, we receive incomplete or incorrect information and act on it. This triggers events injustice. Envy relates to a simple desire to obtain something that belongs to someone else, while jealousy has a third party attached and more is at stake.

33. Erroneous Judgement

Elements: The Mistaken One; the Victim of the Mistake; the Cause or Author of the Mistake; the Guilty Person

The Mistaken One makes some judgment about or is suspicious about the Victim, instead of the Guilty Person. This is due to some Cause or is caused by the Author of the mistake. In our need to control and understand our environment and closure, we often hurriedly attribute facts to attach guilt to someone. When we don’t have all the facts we make errors of judgment.

34. Remorse

Elements: the Culprit; the Victim or the Sin; the Interrogator

The Culprit has done wrong to a Victim or committed another Sin. The Interrogator gets an admission of guilt. These are stories of reflection and guilt. We realize we must deal with our past actions which are incongruous with our values and in terms seek forgiveness and closure. Such films include “Magnolia” and resonate well with mature audiences who look back on their lives with regrets.

35. Recovery of a Lost One

The Seeker; the One Found

The Seeker looks for and finds the One Found. These are primal stories where we are separated from our loved ones. The recovery can also be one of self actualization such as recovery of self esteem, strength and attitude.

36. Loss of Loved Ones

A Kinsman Slain; a Kinsman Spectator; an Executioner

These stories address our powerlessness against certain forces, the frailty and temporary nature of lives and our mortality. So make every minute you have count.

…blev jag idag, för det blir man väl när man blir äldre. För det blev jag också idag. Jag blev även väckt klockan fem, för vår dotter couldn’t care less om det var vintertid eller inte. Det gjorde i och för sig inte så mycket när man får kramar och paket. Nu mumsar jag och min fru på födelsedagsmiddagen som består av sushi med lite vitt vin till. Det är ok att bli äldre även om det medför lite lösare skinn och gråa hår. Men man blir ju även mer klok och det kan ju vara
användbart!
