It was just last Thanksgiving when winter weather enthusiasts at the White Pass Ski Area hoped for the snow to come down — but in recent weeks, the snow just hasn’t stopped falling. Fluffy flakes fall freely and furiously in the Cascades, consis- tently dumping multiple inches of snow per day and turning the ski resort on the far eastern edge of Lewis County into a whitewashed landscape.

  • The Simpsons Tapped out - Analysis and Proposed Events Overview
    The Simpsons Tapped Out - Analysis and Proposed Events Overview Players like myself have faithfully enjoyed The Simpsons Tapped Out (TSTO) for several years. The developers have continued to expand the game and provide updates in response to player feedback. This has been evident in tools such as the IRS Building tap radius, the Introduction Unemployment Office Job Manager and the Cut & Paste feature, all of which are greatly appreciated by players and have extended the playability of TSTO for many of us who would have otherwise found the game too tedious to continue once their Springfields grew so large. Notably, as respects Events, positive reactive efforts were identifiable in the 2017 Winter Event and the modified use of craft currency. As evident from the forums, many dedicated and heavily-invested players have grown tired with some of TSTO's stale mechanics and gameplay, as well as the proliferation of uninspired content, much of which has little to no place in Springfield, if even the world of "The Simpsons." This Premise player attitude is often displayed in the later stages of major Events as players begin to sense monotony due to a lack in changes throughout an Event, resulting in a feeling that one is merely grinding through the game to stock up on largely unwanted Items. Content-driven major Events geared toward "The Simpsons" version of Springfield with changes of pace, more like mini-Events, and the Solution addition of new Effects, enabling a variety of looks while injecting a new degree of both familiarity and customization for players. The proposed Events and gameplay changes are steeped in canonical content rather than original content.

Since they didn’t have access to a plotter, plans had to be printed on A4 paper and stuck together, in a circle. The small details of the gate had to Tweet be drawn up from scratch, using photos and video footage. The skeleton of the gate is made up of 18 X-shaped pieces, and the spinning part is made from small planks. 89 The intricate stargate symbols had to be painstakingly carved, from wood, and chevrons first had to be carved from Styrofoam. The back of the stargate, though painted in gray, is totally fake, but the front looks realistic enough, with chevrons locking and everything. Thanks to an inner track, it even spins. Mango wasn’t too satisfied with the paint-job, but all in all this is a geeky masterpiece, just like the Stargate Share home-cinema . Be sure to check the video Mango made, at the bottom of the post. ..

  • Šablona -- Diplomová Práce (Uni)
    Bart Simpson and His Chalkboard: A Translation Analysis Radka Párová Bachelor’s Thesis 2020 ABSTRAKT Tato bakalářská práce se zabývá porovnáním překladu vybraných výroků z úvodní scény české mutace seriálu Simpsonovi vůči americkému originálu. Překlad těchto výroků není častokrát jednoznačný a čelí problému ekvivalence vycházející z jazykových a mimojazykových rozdílů. Práce se skládá z teoretické části popisující teorii překladu a charakteristiku seriálu a praktické části zabývající se porovnáním vybraných výroků z pohledu významového posunu. Na konkrétních příkladech je pak ukázáno, k jakému posunu v překladu došlo a zároveň, jak se význam překladu liší od amerického originálu. Klíčová slova: Simpsonovi, překlad, ekvivalence, překladatelská analýza, výroky, posuny ABSTRACT The bachelor’s thesis deals with the comparison of selected lines in the opening scene of the Czech version of The Simpsons series towards the American original. The translation of the lines is many times ambiguous and poses a problem of equivalence arising from linguistic and non-linguistic differences. The thesis consists of the theoretical part that describes the translation theory and series characteristics and the practical part that compares selected lines with regard to the semantic shift. The analysed examples indicate a translation shift and the difference in meaning between the original and the translated version. Keywords: The Simpsons, translation, equivalence, translation analysis, gag, shifts ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor PhDr. Katarína Nemčoková for the valuable advice, time and professional guidance that helped me with the process of writing my Bachelor’s thesis. I would also like to thank my family for giving me the opportunity to study at the university and supporting me during my studies.
