Tuesday, April 09, 2013 - Ivo and Adam - FULL CONTACT
Ivo and Adam - FULL CONTACT
We brought Ivo Kerk and Adam in for a wrestling match. Adam was the viktor in that and as we join them again Ivo, recognizing his defeat, drops to his knees and starts to suck on Adam's dick. Their sweaty, oiled bodies glisten as Ivo works Adam's cock until it is rock hard. He is also wanking himself and his own dick is throbbing too. With both those cocks rock hard Ivo stands and places Adam's on top on his. Adam takes hold of both and wanks on them. They kiss each other and drop to the mats, with Adam on his back and Ivo straddling him. Adam continues to wank both cocks together before Ivo moves up and slides his dick into that hot mouth. With their bodies covered in oil they really look great. Ivo turns around and moves into a 69, so both are sucking nice and hard. Ivo then takes more oil and squirts it onto Adam's ass. He then starts to finger his tight hole. With his finger deep in that hole Ivo sucks on Adam's big hard cock some more then moves him into doggy position and shoves his dick deep into that eager hole. He pounds away at that ass, as hard as he can, going balls deep. Then Ivo pulls out and lays on the mats, with Adam sitting his ass right down on that throbbing cock. He rides that cock, sliding up and down on the thick shaft, as his own hard cock flap back and forth. Then they move again, so Ivo can fuck Adam missionary style. As his ass is pounded Adam wanks himself hard and fast and soon blows a massive load of creamy cum. Ivo is ready too and pulls out and dumps his cum all over Adam as well. Then he leans down to kiss his wrestling buddy, ending a fabulous scene.

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
Adam Rupert is a really stunningly handsome guy. We invited him in for a Screentest just as soon as we could. We lined up the ever popular Niklas Serdberg to be paired with him. We see Niklas on a bed, preparing for a massage. Adam walks in, wearing only his boxers, and lays on the bed, in front of Niklas. Niklas gets right to work on that hot body, straddling Adam's legs and massaging his back. As he is massaging the back we see that Adam's hands are working too, rubbing and caressing Niklas legs. Niklas lowers Adam's boxers and starts to massage those beautiful buns. As he massages that ass Niklas spreads the cheeks so we can see Adam's tight hole. Adam turns over, onto his back, and he shows off a rock hard cock. Clearly Niklas has aroused him. Niklas leans forward and sucks on a nipple as he takes hold of Adam's big hard cock and wanks it. Then he kisses Adam on the lips before moving down to suck his cock. With his lips wrapped tight around the cock Niklas sucks it nice and deep. Then Niklas loses his undies too, and his own throbbing cock comes into view. He wanks the two cocks together and then moves further up Adam's body, so that his ass is touching that hard cock. Adam reaches for Niklas butt cheeks, pulling them apart and letting his cock rub against the hole. He begins to thrust upwards and knows what he wants to do. Without further ado he slides his cock into that tight ass and starts to fuck it nice and deep. He works that hole real well before moving to a missionary position and continuing to fuck it. With nice long strokes his cock works in and out of that hole. Then Adam ups the tempo, fucking faster and faster as Niklas wanks himself. Adam quickly pulls out and moves up to shoot his cum all over Niklas chest. Then Niklas takes the sticky cock in his mouth to clean it off. What a great screentest from two really hot guys.

Finally a nice day in Prague. Partly cloudy and 7º C, 47º F outside. Walking Aida was very pleasant today, and tomorrow is predicted to be even warmer. Can it be that spring is finally upon us? I won't answer the question for fear of jinxing the weather and causing more cold temperatures.
Yesterday, we filmed our Third Wank Party for 2013. We shot it in the dungeon of Drakes, great cast. Great scene. No food poisoning. So, I was able to attend the filming and operate a Backstage camera. This afternoon, I threw together my first teaser video. Please take a look:
Two really great guys, Ivo Kerk and Adam Rupert give us a great start to the newsletter today. Vasek Konik's massage continues the great line-up. With the high standard being maintained with Vaclav Jurda's erotic video and Petr Myska's session stills.
Our line-up of castees today are very impressive too. We have Viktor Mlady, Kamil Silak, Jan Polocek and Jirka Stanek. All look good but my pick today is the returning Jirka Stanek.

The Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, CA (one of the largest and leading Asian Art museums in the country), has developed an effective strategy to keep funded. The museum is getting assistance from large corporations like AT&T, American Express, General Electric and even Macy's.
Asian art includes the artistic production of many cultures of Asia. It is the biggest continent in the planet and has hosted a large variety of culturally rich civilizations since ancient times. The legacy of this different societies and their culture are now more available thanks to modern communication. Asian art from the past and contemporary Asian art have an important influence in modern life and culture.
What is contemporary art? Contemporary art is usually defined as the art production since World War II to date. There are several exhibitions of contemporary art and contemporary Asian art belonging to art galleries, private collectors, corporations, contemporary art museums and various art organizations. Contemporary Asian art is usually supported by grants, awards and prizes given to artists. Some artists manage to sale their work for millions of dollars.
Several Chinese art pieces are one of the most antique and valued art productions. Ancient Chinese art examples like pottery and sculptures have being dated at 10 000BC. Chinese porcelain is one of the finest in the world for its high quality. Chinese contemporary art sometimes referred as avant-garde Chinese art, is developing specially since 1980. It incorporates every art form including painting, film, photography, performance, music, architecture, contemporary wall art and of course the characteristic Chinese ink painting and calligraphy.
Because of the political situation in China, some Chinese contemporary art exhibitions are considered controversial and are shut down by the police. Chinese contemporary art production is becoming very valued today, with pieces acquiring very high prices. For example the Chinese artist Yue Minjun sold his art piece Execution in US $5.9 million, on 2007.
The Art Market in China is one of the hottest and more active today. It includes ancient art and contemporary artistic productions, that are valued all around the world. China is considered to be the third largest art market in the world, after the United States and the United Kingdom.

The Japanese culture is used to be invaded by foreign ideas. Japanese are used to absorb foreign cultural influences, and assimilate them in their own tradition. Japanese art is characterized by the use of polarities, between exuberance and simplicity. There are many important art schools that fuel the important artistic production that characterizes Japanese modern art.
Thai Contemporary Art, Balinese Art, Indian Art, and Korean Art, have also a very important and valued artistic culture. Learn more about them here at acafny.com. Get immersed in the infinite world of Asian artistic creativity.

Hi everyone, I'm new to these forums (albeit a long time lurker), but had to post something about my new acquisition: Air artbook (the one for the game, not the tv or movie artbook). My friend from Japan came to visit and brought along some goodies which included the artbook. The artbook is much better than the movie and tv artbooks. It came with a hard cover case thing that the artbook can be inserted into. Very nice. The book itself is much bigger than the movie/tv one, in terms of size and content-- its thick.
I was a bit suprised at first when I was looking throught it. It had naked pictures of Misuzu and the other characters, and other pictures with the characters engaged in very proacitave situations. I then remember that the anime was based off an h-game and obviously I was looking at the AIR game artbook. I suppose these pictures were taken from the game. Aside from the echhi stuff, excellent art. High quality paper too. So far it is my favorite out of my 3 other AIR artbooks I own. BTW there is a sketch book type artbook out there as well. So if you ask me about the 3rd one its that one I refer to.
If anyone else owns any of the other artbooks, how much did you pay for them? I showed my friend the sketch book AIR artbook (which I bought for $30 usd), and he tells me it would cost him 500 yen ($5 usd) in Japan.

I recently ordered the game and TV artbooks from amazon.co.jp; after shipping and everything, they came to about ¥7100, which was a little over USD 61.00 at the time. It's true, if the anime was your introduction to the story (as it was for me too), the game artbook definitely shows you a very different side of the characters. And on one hand, you can say that that's how they really were originally, but on the other hand, it wasn't the adult content that got it voted game of the year two years in a row in Japan...instead, it was the story. Either way, I think there's enough beautiful work in there for it to be worth owning regardless of one's opinion regarding the adult portions.
I haven't bought the movie artbook yet, because I didn't really care for the visual style of the movie as much, but I'll probably end up buying it eventually, just because. The manga has me curious, too, and it's cheap enough (at ¥567, from the same source as above) that I could probably justify buying that and a few other things for, um, reading practice. Yeah, that's it...

I did try to order some stuff off amazon.co.jp a while ago, I was to stupid to navigate through it, so I gave up. I wish I knew how to read Japanese, but sadly I can't. I suppose I can get a translator, but then again I'm lazy. Meh. It would be nice not having to pay triple the retail price that some online stores are asking for. Beggars can't be choosers I suppose.
The art style in the AIR manga is kinda ugly. The same person who did the Kashimashi manga is at least doing the art in the AIR manga. Their eyes arent big enough in the manga I tell ya! That and they're chubby-looking. Even though I say that I still want to check it out.

My Japanese reading comprehension isn't very good yet either, but I kind of got lucky and stumbled across reviews of the books that included their ISBN numbers, which made them much easier to locate. In case it'll help anyone:
Air Art Works (game): 4894903180
Air on TV artbook: 4861272114
Air Movie artbook: 4861271738
As far as amazon.co.jp goes, finding what you want seems to be more difficult than buying it once you do...once you locate it, the rest of the process is close enough to how it is on the English site, and there's enough help along the way that it's not too hard. This may not be a good thing, though, as it's ended up costing me a lot of money over the last few months...

If there was, rest assured, I'd have it. The only one I've seen is the resin kit that CD Japan is still carrying - there's nothing complete that I've seen. Personally, I'd love to see a completed PVC version of that kit (I think it's a Kotobikuya one), as well as a Kanna one as well... sigh.
Even better would be a licensing deal for AIR - but a Minagi figurine would be nice.

Delaware police arrested new mom Bridget Wismer after she allegedly sold her baby for $15,000 to take her two sons to Disneyworld, NBC reports. Wismer denies the charges, claiming that the deal was a misunderstanding—the alleged buyer, John Gavaghan of Philadelphia, has been her friend for years.
Plus: Answers to Obnoxious Adoption Questions
"He's always tried to adopt and I couldn't raise another child," she told NBC. "He was going to provide this beautiful home for this baby. I couldn't provide the baby with that." Wismer's grandmother—and later, another tipster—told police about the new mom's deal. Both Wismer and Gavaghan were arrested and the newborn has been placed in foster care.
Plus: What It's Really Like to Adopt a Baby
Even if she didn't intend on using the money to go to Disney World, legal adoption procedures exist for a reason; agencies conduct interviews, background checks, home visits, and other investigations to ensure that children are placed in a safe, happy home. It's a lesson this mom has had to learn the hard way.
Plus: One Mother's Story of Open Adoption
Do you think Wismer was really trying to sell her baby? Or was it all a misunderstanding?

"Testing 64-bit performance is still a somewhat dicey proposition. Major benchmarks are either lacking, or don't work properly. For example, SYSmark 2007 simply doesn't run on a 64-bit OS (Vista or XP). And while there's now a 3ds Max 9 SPECapc benchmark, the benchmark crashes consistently with a scripting error before it completes when running on 3ds Max 9 64-bit under Vista 64-bit. On the other hand, there are more 64-bit applications and benchmarks now. That system-sapping game, Crysis, ships with a 64-bit client. 3ds Max 9, Lightwave 9, POV-Ray, and the Cinebench rendering benchmark all have 64-bit versions. Futuremark's PCMark Vantage offers a 64-bit version of that Vista-centric, synthetic test. On top of that, anyone using 64-bit Vista will still be running a lot of 32-bit applications. So we benchmarked some of those as well. Let's take a look at the benchmarks and test system."

Vegan Marshmallows with toasted coconut
A while ago I was sent some marshie mix by angel foods...it took me awhile to make them because I didn't own a candy thermometer, and I knew I would find one, somewhere, somehow, someday.
We just bought a home, and I have spent time there cleaning and getting ready to move in. A few days ago I was going through some of the stuff the people left there, and I came across a candy thermometer! SCORE!!
I was so happy, I actually did a little dance.
I have been planning on making these for sometime now, I was amazed on how simple they were to make.
I have never eaten a homemade marshmallow before so I didn't know what to expect. They taste just like the real thing, only WAY better & fresher.
They take about an hour to set in the refrigerator. Although the instructions say to release the whole pan on a cutting board. I didn't want to screw it up. So I cut them out individually, and rolled them in toasted coconut
(I cooked that in the oven until it was golden).
My daughter came into the kitchen, and was excited to try one. She sandwiched it between two baby cookies!
The package made a 9" by 13 inch pan worth of marshmallowy goodness.
7 comments:
looks tasty.ReplyDelete
I don't own a candy thermometer either...maybe that's why my fudge at Christmas time always comes out funny?!? :)
They look wonderful and I love the addition of the coconut.ReplyDelete
I've seen a lot of people make their own marshmellows. I've never tried it though, but everyone says they are so much better than the store bought ones.
I'll have to try it!
They look great, Kirsten! And that's so perfect that your new home came complete with a candy thermometer!!ReplyDelete
I loved testing this recipe! Like everything, fresh homemade beats anything from a package.ReplyDelete
Try the AngelFoods meringue mix too... fantastically yummy, really easy and kid-friendly (no hot stuff to mix).
- AnonymousJuly 17, 2010 at 4:08 PM
How awesome to find a candy thermometer like that!ReplyDelete
I haven't had a marshmallow since becoming a vegan 6 years ago. So I'm very glad to here they can be made and that they're good!
MoonMama...Yeah candy and such can be tricky to make without a candy thermometer. Fudge huh? Maybe I will try to make some!ReplyDelete
Catherine...Thanks!I have seen them at the fairs, but never tried them. I wish I had! They have a similar texture to bagged ones, but the taste is so much better.
Alice...thanks for sending me the mix! They turned out perfect :)
Jess...I will definitely be trying out the meringue mix.
Ahimsa...I know it was pretty awesome to find a candy thermometer, especially because I have been wanting one for sometime now. It was meant to be :)
um, awesome!! And your photos are beautiful!! I really hope you will submit this recipe and more to my new "vegan finds" site:ReplyDelete

The suspended Miami Lakes mayor facing public corruption charges pleaded not guilty in federal court Friday.
Michael Pizzi, who allegedly received $5,000 in kickbacks for a Miami Lakes grant deal, entered the plea during a brief hearing Friday morning.
Surrounded by supporters, Pizzi spoke with reporters after the hearing, saying he won't be taking a plea deal.
"I am innocent and I will be exonerated and found not guilty at trial," Pizzi said. "I want to thank all the dozens of residents of Miami Lakes who took a day off of work, a lot of these people took a day off of work to come here and show their support for me."
"All of us who have become familiar with this case, believe that he is innocent in the case," said Pizzi's attorney, Ed Shohat. "We're gonna come to court fully armed to demonstrate Mike's innocence in this case."
Hours before the hearing on Thursday night, Pizzi said he did nothing wrong and vowed to clear his name.
"After all this, I finally get to go to court tomorrow and see what if anything they're going to charge me with. And then I get to plead not guilty and to plead my innocence, and then I get to pick a day to go to trial and prove my innocence," Pizzi told NBC 6 South Florida. "Hopefully that will happen quickly and I could come back and continue serving the people of Miami Lakes."
Pizzi, 51, and Sweetwater Mayor Manuel Marono were arrested Aug. 6 following an undercover FBI operation that also produced the arrests of lobbyists Richard Candia and Jorge Forte. Candia introduced Pizzi to undercover FBI agents to help implement the plan that paid the mayors thousands of dollars in bribes under a federal grant scheme, authorities said.
Pizzi is accused of backdating documents, misleading undercover agents and receiving cash payoffs in carrying out the scheme.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott suspended both mayors from office after their arrests. Pizzi was later released on $50,000 bond, and Marono on $250,000 bond.
Candia is also due to appear in court Friday.
Marono and Forte, his onetime chief of staff, pleaded not guilty to a charge of conspiring to commit honest services fraud in federal court in Miami last Friday.

TUSCALOOSA | A proposed hotel for downtown cleared three key hurdles on Monday when the city's Planning and Zoning Commission recommended the project proceed.
TUSCALOOSA | A proposed hotel for downtown cleared three key hurdles on Monday when the city's Planning and Zoning Commission recommended the project proceed.
After more than two hours of debate and discussion, the commission voted to approve a rezoning, approve the hotel's plans as conforming with the downtown riverfront overlay district and consented to vacating part of Fourth Street to ensure the hotel has adequate parking.
The Planning and Zoning Commission is only a recommending body in such matters, so the three issues must go before the City Council for final approval before the $13 million Home2 Suites by Hilton hotel can be constructed in the 2600 block of University Boulevard.
The site of the proposed hotel is adjacent to 2700 Capitol Park, a $20 million mixed-use development project under construction at the western end of University Boulevard between 27th and 28th avenues.
The hotel's design features 113 rooms with 109 parking spaces. Many exterior and aesthetic changes have been added since the plans first went before the city's Zoning Board of Adjustment in June.
On Monday, the updated plans with changes were made public following recommendations of city staff members, historic preservation groups and members of the Planning and Zoning Commission and others.
The changes include an increased amount of brick on the exterior, ornate cornices, curved windows and other architectural elements to better reflect buildings that already exist in the downtown area.
Five of the 13 residents who spoke during the public comment period on Monday urged the commission to reject the proposal.
The most common reason for opposition was an outcry to save a series of homes, some of which date back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, that remain standing on this block.
"The tornado took enough," said Alberta resident Lib Davis. "Let's not give it anymore."
But supporters of the project pointed to its benefits for the downtown area and said the Planning and Zoning Commission was not there to decide the historic significance of the structures.
"This is not a debate about the historic nature of the homes on this block," said Jim Page, president and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce of West Alabama. "Oftentimes, that's what it gets turned into, but it's not."
Joan Barth, president of Tuscaloosa Neighbors Together, told the panel that the sentiment of the neighborhood advocacy group is one of growing concern over the historical character of this area and that the group is serious about trying to find a way to preserve the affected homes.
"There's an earnest effort in the community to try and save these homes," she said.
Attorney Bryan Winter, who spoke to the commissioners on behalf of the developers, Memphis, Tenn.-based Cohen Realty, said his clients were willing to work with groups such as TNT in an attempt to move the homes instead of having them demolished.
Doing so will not be simple. Winter noted that, in addition to the cost of relocating the structures, completing the task will require the purchase of land, investment in restoring the homes and then the ongoing costs of maintaining them.
"We're open to anything," he said. "We're committed to sitting down and talking about it."

Animal Species:Cupboard Spiders, Steatoda sp.
At a casual glance the female Cupboard Spider could easily be mistaken for a Redback Spider, without that distinctive red stripe on the back.
Standard Common Name
Cupboard Spider
Alternative Name/s
Brown House Spider
Like the majority of members in the Theridiid family, Steatoda species have shiny, slender legs, with a small cephalothorax and a larger abdomen, which is somewhat egg-shaped in Steatoda. The colour can range from a brown or reddish plum to satiny black. The abdomen often has white or beige spots, a frontal crescent, and sometimes, small red spots or a thin red line (but never a stripe like a Redback Spider).
The female Cupboard Spider could easily be mistaken for a Redback Spider, but lacks the distinctive red stripe on the back. Both spiders are from the same family, Theridiidae (also known as comb-footed spiders), so they are closely related. However, the Cupboard Spider is not considered as dangerous as its Redback relative.
Size range
Females 1.2 cm, males slightly smaller
Similar Species
Redback Spider
Spiders of the Steatoda genus are found throughout the world in temperate and tropical climates.
Steatoda spiders build a tangled-looking web with sticky lines (a gum-footed web) under rocks, timber and bark in the bush, so long as a source of prey is available. However, their common name comes from a fondness for building their snare in any dark, sheltered, undisturbed place around the house or garden - among old furniture and junk stored in sheds and garages, under garden benches, around compost bins, in upturned flower pots and the like. Sometimes, the first signs of the Cupboard Spider are the appearance of tiny white spots of spider droppings, like small splashes of paint, on the floor underneath the web.
Habitat type
Terrestrial Habitat: peridomestic
Feeding Habits
arthropod-feeder, carnivorous, insectivorous
Life history modes
sedentary, terrestrial
Life cycle
The females produce several white to cream egg sacs, suspending them within her tangled web. The female can live for about two years, whereas the male will only live for a few months.
Mating and reproduction
The male spider is small, and inhabits the outer parts of the female's web, awaiting a chance to mate. He will generally be eaten after mating has been completed.
Danger to humans and first aid
Bites from Steatoda species occur infrequently. In the past they have not been considered particularly dangerous to humans, however in a few recent cases of Steatoda bites where the spider has been identified, more serious symptoms have been recorded. In two cases, Redback antivenom has been used successfully to treat these symptoms. Minor skin lesions have been occasionally associated with the bite.
Usually none required. A cold pack can be applied to help reduce any pain or swelling at the site of the bite.

Fresh, soft buns for breakfast? Slightly warm, with hint of hazelnut and lemon? You want? I tought you might. This is a recipe I bookmarked ages ago at papilles et pupilles, when I had bought a jar of almond purée out of sheer curiosity and was looking for things to do with it. I finished the jar without ever making the buns but the bookmark stayed put. Thank god it did! Those buns are fantastic! And apart from the resting time overnight, they're finished within minutes! I can't believe this recipe hasn't travelled around the world like the no-knead bread. Go make them! Now! And spread the word!
- 500g plain flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 plain yoghurt
- milk (the eggs, yoghurt and milk have to add up to 425ml)
- 1 tablespoon hazelnut purée (the plain kind without sugar)
- 80 powdered sugar
- 1 generous pinch of salt
- 1 packet dried yeast
- peel of half a lemon (the original recipe uses combava)

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (Thursday, August 9, 2012) – The Colorado Rapids announced on Thursday that Dave Dir, a former MLS head coach with Dallas from 1996-2001 and longtime United States Under-20 National Team assistant coach, has joined the club as an Assistant/Goalkeeper Coach.
"Dave has tremendous experience in MLS and his tactical and technical knowledge is going to help all the players at our club," said Rapids Technical Director Paul Bravo. "He'll be helping our technical staff with everything from training to match preparation, and will be working closely with our goalkeepers."
Dir joins the Rapids immediately and will support Head Coach Oscar Pareja with first team operations and work with the club's goalkeepers. He replaces David Kramer as the Rapids goalkeeper coach, who left the club to pursue other opportunities.
One of the original MLS head coaches, Dave Dir led the Dallas Burn (now FC Dallas) from 1996-2001, where he won the 1997 U.S. Open Cup and compiled a record of 81-75-4 (W-L-T) in his five seasons. He was the longest serving of all the MLS coaches who started in 1996, the league's inaugural season. After leaving Dallas, Dir was an Assistant Coach for the U.S. U-20 National Team from 2002-2011, helping in the development of many MLS and United States National Team players. He was most recently serving as the Chief Scout for Vancouver Whitecaps FC in 2011 and 2012.
Dir also has connections to the Denver area, having been the head coach of the Colorado Foxes in the American Professional Soccer League from 1991-1994, where he coached players including former Rapids Marcelo Balboa and Robin Fraser and won a championship each of his seasons with the team. He was also the men's soccer head coach at Regis University from 1990-1991.
Originally from the Chicago area, Dir played goalkeeper at Western Illinois University and for the Chicago Sting of the NASL and Colorado Comets of the USISL. In the two years leading up to the inception of MLS, Dir was the Director of Player Development for the league, assembling the player pool for the 10 teams that began play in 1996.
The Rapids will take on FC Dallas this Saturday night at 7:00 p.m. MT at FC Dallas Stadium in Frisco, Texas, in a match broadcast live on Altitude, Mile High Sports Radio, and ESPN Deportes Radio. The Coors Light Away Game Viewing Party will be hosted at The British Bulldog in downtown Denver and at Connor O'Neill's Pub in Boulder.

THL Toolbox > Tibetan Texts > Marking Up Tibetan Text in Word with Styles
Marking Up a Tibetan Text in Word with Styles
Contributor(s): Chris Hatchell, THL Staff.
This page describes how to format Tibetan texts using Microsoft Word's "styles" feature.
- Getting Started
- Basic Markup Goals
- Steps for the Basic Markup of a Tibetan Text
- Advanced Markup
- Detailed Guidelines
- Style Sheet
1. Getting Started
To aid in the markup of Tibetan texts in Word, we have created a Tibetan-language template:
This template contains the same Word styles as the English-language template used for THL documents. In the Tibetan-language template, however, the font is specified as "Tibetan Machine Uni" and the language is specified as "Tibetan (PRC)." The Tibetan-language template also contains some simple formatting conventions to ensure that the Tibetan font displays nicely; in particular, it sets the font-size and paragraph spacing, and includes an option that makes lines break properly at the edges of the page. Once you download the template, place a copy in the folder where Microsoft Word stores its templates (usually this is C > Documents and Settings > user > Application Data > Microsoft > Templates). Once you have installed the template, open a copy of it and paste your Tibetan text into it.
2. Basic Markup Goals
The basic goal of text markup is, first, to create an electronic edition of a text that is easy to read, search, and navigate. Here, you will add luxuries that aren't there in the original text: subheads, paragraph formatting, clearly identifiable text-titles and personal names, and so forth. Secondly, by doing this markup with a standardized set of styles, it makes it easy for the text to be converted to XML and put on the web.
Additional Resources:
- For more on Word styles, see Using Microsoft Word Styles; a detailed description of text markup principles can be found in Using Word Styles for THL Markup. For some technical documentation about the XML language, see Introduction to XML and THL XML Markup.
3. Steps for the Basic Markup of a Tibetan Text
The first step in marking up a Tibetan text using Word styles is to make sure that the basic input has been done correctly. At minimum, the text should be based on the Tibetan-language template, use a Unicode font, have page numbers entered, and have a proper filename. These steps should have been taken care of by the text inputter, and are described in Inputting a Tibetan Text. Once the basic input has been done, the markup process involves applying styles to different elements of the text. The basic steps here are:
- (a) Structure the text with subheads
- (b) Mark paragraph and verse styles
- (c) Mark citations
- (d) Mark the text's topical outline (sa bcad)
- (e) Mark names and text titles
(a) Structure the text with subheads
Topic headings are often implicit in a Tibetan text, but given the format of a traditional Tibetan book, they are difficult to identify: they are not marked in any special font, are not numbered, and are often barely distinguished from the body text that surrounds them. A first read-through of a difficult text might involve hours (or days) of trying to identify the basic chapter and topic divisions around which the work is organized. Thus, having an electronic edition with clearly marked sections, chapters, and subject divisions is a major benefit. Adding subheads also makes lengthy texts navigable; by using features like Word's "document map," a list of chapters and subheads can be easily browsed, and clicking on one can take you to that section in the document.
Subheads are material that you add to the text. Thus, no part of the text itself (none of the author's words) are marked as subheads. Even though an author might identify a topic heading, saying for instance "Now, the third topic: a detailed etymology," you would not mark this as a subhead. Rather, you add a subhead to the text and give it a sensible wording (in Tibetan): "Topic Three: A Detailed Etymology." The subhead text that you create should end with a final shad.
The first subhead that you should add to the text is the title of the work itself. (This may have already been done by the inputter.) In keeping with the above rule, this is something that you add to the text; it is not the title that was typed in when the title page was input. After typing the text title, mark it with the style Heading 1.
Next, add subheads to separate out the three most basic divisions of the text, which are its (1) front matter, (2) body, and (3) concluding material. (These sections of a Tibetan text are described in detail in Tibetan Text Section Names.) Mark these three subheads with the style Heading 2, and give them each a unique number in brackets. The end result will look like:
[1] ཀླད། [2] གཞུང་། [3] མཇུག
The remainder of the process of adding subheads is essentially marking the divisions of each of these three sections, applying the proper subhead style to them, and giving them a unique number and title. For a lengthy, complicated text this might be days of work, while a short unstructured text might not have any more subheads than these three.
Below is an example of the subheads for a simple, hypothetical text, which consists of a front section (containing a title page, and the author's statement of intent), a body (containing three chapters), and a back section (containing a colophon and a closing invocation).
[1] ཀླད། [1.1] ཁ་བྱང་། [1.2] དམ་བཅའ། [2] གཞུང་། [2.1] ལེའུ་དང་པོ་གཞི་བསྟན་པ། [2.2] ལེའུ་གཉིས་པ་ལམ་བསྟན་པ། [2.3] ལེའུ་གསུམ་པ་འབྲས་བུ་བསྟན་པ། [3] མཇུག [3.1] མཇུག་བྱང་། [3.2] ཤིས་བརྗོད།
Here, the front, body, and back headings would be marked with the style Heading 2, and the divisions of them would be marked as Heading 3. To create further divisions, for instance to create three internal divisions of the first chapter, you could make subheads numbered 2.1.1, 2.1.2, and 2.1.3, each marked with the Heading 4 style.
Note that the enumerations included in the subheads currently need to be marked with the style Added by Editor, as they may need to be removed later; having them marked will make them easy to remove. Be sure to mark the brackets and the space following the closing bracket as well.
Additional Resources:
- Outlining a Tibetan Text and Cataloging a Tibetan Text provide more information on the sections typically found in Tibetan texts.
- It is usually easy to come up with the names for chapter-level subheads, as these are written in the text itself. However, many divisions won't be labeled in the text (such as "title page," "colophon," "invocation," and so forth). For the names of these in Tibetan, see our Tibetan Text Section Names.
(b) Mark paragraph and verse styles
The text that is contained within the subheads should be marked so that it will display properly. Prose should be marked with the style Paragraph, while lines of verse should be broken up and marked with Verse 1 or Verse 2. (Verse 1 is used for the initial line, while the remaining lines are marked as Verse 2). Insert a carriage return after each line of verse; if a line is followed by two shads, the return is inserted after the second shad. Lines of verse can also be separated into stanzas, by marking the first line of each stanza as Verse 1 (note that this keeps you from having to enter an empty space between stanzas).
(c) Mark citations
Citations from other works are a common feature of many Tibetan texts. While Tibetans of course have conventions for distinguishing quoted material from the author's own words, these are sometimes imperfectly implemented, leaving the reader to struggle to decipher what is intended to be a quote and what isn't. Having quotations clearly delineated (formatting them like "inset quotations" in Western typesetting) thus adds major value to an edition. The process is much like that described in step 2, above.
Prose citations are marked with the style Citation Prose 1; if you want to break a prose citation into paragraphs, paragraphs following the first one are marked with the style Citation Prose 2.
Verse citations are marked with the styles Citation Verse 1 (for the first line of a stanza) and Citation Verse 2 (for any subsequent lines). In both cases, these are separated from the author's text by carriage returns at the beginning and end of the citation. Citations should (but unfortunately don't always) end with some sort of "close quote marker" in Tibetan, such as ces so, or zhes so. These markers should not be included in the quotation, but appear on the following line. Note that the style Paragraph Continued is used following a quote, to indicate that there is no change in topic following the quote.
Following is an (abbreviated) example from Longchenpa's Tshig don mdzod that will illustrate how to mark up quotes:
དང་པོ་ནི། ཀློང་དྲུག་པ་ལས།
ཡེ་ཤེས་ཉིད་ནི་རྣམ་གསུམ་གྱིས། །
གཞི་ཡི་ཁྱད་པར་ཚིག་ཏུ་བསྟན། །
ཞེས་པ་དང༌། རྡོ་རྗེ་སེམས་དཔའ་སྙིང་གི་མེ་ལོང་ལས།
ཅེས་སོ། །
Here, the author gives a brief topical heading, and then states the source of his first citation. This would be in Paragraph style. Following are two lines of verse, which would be in Citation Verse 1 and Citation Verse 2 styles. The close quote marker appears on the next line, and should be in Paragraph Continued style. The author then gives a prose citation, which would be marked in the style Citation Prose 1. Note that for this prose citation, there is no closing shad; a carriage return is made after the final tsheg in the citation, and the close quote marker appears on the next line (in Paragraph Continued style).
(d) Mark the text's topical outline (sa bcad)
A text's topical outline should be marked in the style named Sa bcad. This is a character style rather than a paragraph style.
The sa bcad will usually come right after a subhead, but occasionally appears within the body of a section. The sa bcad may be a brief statement of what the topic of the section is ("Now an etymology will be given"), or it may simply be an enumeration ("Now, first…"). If the sa bcad ends with a closing shad, also mark that shad in the Sa bcad style. (In the above example, dang po ni/ would be marked in the Sa bcad style.)
(e) Mark personal names, as well as the names of texts and chapters
The Tibetan-language template contains several styles for marking personal names. In basic markup, you should apply the style Author to the author's name when it appears in colophons. Also mark other names that appear in colophons, such as translators, treasure revealers, scribes, and so forth. More advanced markup might involve marking the names of deities, places, historical figures, clans, and so forth in the body of the text. If there is no style appropriate for the names you need to mark, you could either create a new one in conjunction with the director of your project, or you could use a generic style like Name Personal Human.
Mark any names of texts with the style Text Title. (In the above example, Klong drug pa would be marked as a text title.) When text titles appear in colophons, mark them with the style Colophon Text Title. Similarly, chapter titles that appear in colophons should be marked in the style Colophon Chapter Title.
Authors often refer to texts without actually giving their names, making oblique statements like "as it says in sutra" (mdo las), "the root tantra states," (rtsa rgyud las), or simply "the same source mentioned above says" (de nyid las). Mark these as text titles as well (but as with actual text titles, don't include the particle las in the Text Title style).
4. Advanced Markup
The markup of simple texts may just involve creating a few subheads and marking names and colophons. But depending on the project, much more detailed markup can be done. For complicated works, it might be appropriate to apply styles to historical events, dates, religious practices, place names, and so forth. Commentaries that have a root text embedded in them can also have the root text marked, which makes for much easier reading. The Tibetan-language template already contains a wide variety of styles for such purposes, but if a particular project requires styles that have not been created yet, we can easily add these to the template.
5. Detailed Guidelines
Below are some guidelines that should help with the finer details of text markup.
(a) When inserting carriage returns (such as at the end of a paragraph), make sure you insert the carriage return after the shad+white space, and not after the shad but before the white space. It is also important to leave the space there: do not delete it! The idea here is that an electronic edition should be able to be converted into traditional pecha formatting, without all of the international formatting. As this space is intrinsic to the text, if you remove it, the pecha formatting will not appear correctly.
(b) When you have two shad marks after a verse line, insert the carriage return after the second shad so that both shads appear at the end of the line, and the next line begins freshly with no shad in that line at the beginning.
(c) When applying character styles to something that is not a whole sentence (such as for personal names), make sure you highlight the full term including the final tsheg. However, do not highlight a final shad at the end of a term. For character styles that are used to indicate whole phrases or sentences (such as sa bcad), do include the final shad in the style.
(d) Perform all special formatting (such as creating inset quotes, lists, and so forth) by using styles. Any formatting that does not use styles will be lost when the text is converted to XML. If you change the display attributes of particular styles to your own preferences, do so in the styles, but leave the style names the same.
(e) Occasionally you may want to add something to the text to make reading more clear, such as adding numbers before elements in a list. If you do so, mark these with the style Added by Editor. This makes it clear that your addition is not in the actual text, and makes it easy to find additions if you want to remove them.
(f) Note that unicode Tibetan does not always display properly in Windows XP. Microsoft Word's built-in subheads also will sometimes display oddly. The markup process in Word is primarily about applying styles, rather than worrying about how those styles look. As long as any element of text has the proper style applied to it, it will convert properly to XML, and display properties can be set at that time.
(g) As you read through the text, you may well see problem areas that stem from misinput, conversion mistakes, or other issues. We suggest you use the Word highlighting function to color those areas yellow so that you can easily find them when reviewing the text. Likewise, you may have questions about where a citation begins, whether a shad has been mistakenly omitted, and so forth. These can also be marked so they can be found later.
(h) The above steps for "basic markup" can be done in any order. It may be easiest to first mark your whole text in Paragraph style, then to put in the subheads. Sa bcad style is often easiest to apply as you insert the subheads. Marking text titles and citations at the same time is another obvious way to save time.

6. Style Sheet
This contains a list of official THL markup styles and procedures, which will be updated as more are formalized. Try to follow these styles on your markup project, though all of them may not be applicable to any particular project.
* Introductory Scenes (gleng gzhi)
Introductory scenes go in the main body of the outline (i.e. in the gzhung section), they are not part of the front matter (the klad section).
There appear to be two ways that introductory scenes are conceptualized by Tibetan authors. (1) They are given their own chapter, for instance "chapter 1" of a tantra being the introductory scene. (2) They are not distinguished from the first chapter, although the first chapter really has its own subject. In other words, they are not really part of the stated subject matter of the first chapter, but there is no sa bcad that distinguishes them from the first chapter.
The first case presents no problem for markup, just make the first chapter the introductory scene, as it is in the work you are marking up. In the second case, break the introductory scene out of the first chapter, and give it its own subhead (even though the work itself doesn't do this). Here, if there are two introductory scenes, you will want to give it an overarching subhead "introductory scene" (gleng gzhi), and then within that make subheads for the individual introductory scenes.
* Names
It is quite helpful to have names identified in the markup. The NormalTib template has a selection of name-styles (Name Buddhist Deity, Name Personal Human, etc.). There are some special cases for names that should be kept in mind:
If the name is the name of someone who is speaking ("Then Dorje Chang said…"), mark it with a "speaker" style. In XML, a name could be marked as a "name" and then have a qualifier attached indicating that it is also a "speaker," a "deity," and so forth. This is not possible in Word, so we have created a group of specialized name-styles like Speaker Buddhist Deity to deal with the problem.
Sometimes it may be helpful to mark "epithets." For example in "Then the great Teacher said…," the word "Teacher" is an epithet rather than a name. These can be marked with the Epithet style. Note that there is also a Speaker Epithet style.
collective names
It is fairly common to have collective speakers: "Then the host of deities spoke with a single voice." Such collective names are marked with the Epithet style.
* Shads
rin chen spungs shad
In projects that intend to create an exact copy of the paper version of a text, this shad should be used. In other projects, it can simply be replaced with an ordinary shad, as the rin chen spungs shad is simply an artifact of where the line-breaks occur in a paper text.
