Night Walker

“It was at night that it came. A night with a full moon. It was just a shadow, crawling behind me. The air suddenly became cold, cold as if the air suddenly died around me. I dared to turn my head. Slowly, trying to prevent my eyes from popping out of their orbits, I looked behind me. Nothing. Empty place and the cold suddenly flew away.

What was it? I don’t know but I tried to find latter, that same day, what that presence was all about.

I read many books that evening. Many of them were so clear that in my mind I didn’t have a doubt anymore: I just had my first encounter with a creature of the night: a vampire. In the following months I had many more experiences like the one I just told. And always, the same deep cold.”

A fragment form the novel “At night I finally will die” from Fernando de Osuna

Vampires are folkloric and mythological beings who subsist by feeding on the life essence (generally in the form of blood) of living creatures. In folkloric tales, vampires often visited loved ones and caused harm or deaths in the places they selected for their residence. In the past, vampires were described like dark figures walkers of the night. In actual times there is a totally different image due to novels and even movies. The mysterious beings are now, sometimes, the heroes of the stories.

The success of these books, films, video games and even TV shows, are making people forget how this legend started, how the vampires and their usually foes, the werewolves became part of the world culture.

Stories of the Vampire go back in the early history of civilization, back to ancient civilizations such as the Babylonians, the Aztecs and the Chinese.

Classic Rome also participated with some of their demy-gods.

Beautiful Night Killer

The modern legend of Vampires started in Romania around the early 16th century. Many people traveling through Eastern Europe reported sightings and encounters with Vampires. These stories spread rapidly throughout the entire old Europe. A continent already plagued with lots of superstitious believes at the time.
The legend of the vampire begun, but it was not until authors like Lord Byron and Goethe that the vampires became the romantic creatures we now know in modern times.

Porphyries, a genetic and incurable disease, share some of the traditional attributes of the Vampires: the need for constant blood transfusions (because lack of hematines); light sensitivity causing rashes and scarring of the skin (photo dermatitis) and problems with the nervous system and muscles (seizures, mental disturbances).

Being out in the sun can cause pain, sensations of heat, blistering, and skin redness and swelling. Blisters heal slowly, often with scarring or skin color changes. They may be disfiguring. Urine may turn red or brown after an attack.

Different cultures have different myths about the vampires. For instancing European beliefs the vampire is dead, twisted and decrepit zombie creature. In America is a different story, made up directly from Hollywood. The creature is sensual, sophisticated and desirable.

A little history:
When you think about vampires usually the first name that you think of is Dracula. Thanks to the famous novel by the same title, by Bram Stoker this image is in every men, women and child in western world mind.

Dracula was actually based on a true Romanian Prince named Vlad Tepes or Vlad the Impaler as people also know him.
He was seen as a hero by his contemporary countrymen. According to most legend he was considered a fair, but very cruel man. Most of the information we have about this prince is transmitted by verbal tradition from Romanians stories tellers, and also by Germans and Russians pamphlets. The first describe him as a national hero, the second as an evil man… Does that sound familiar to you?

The Most famous Vampire

Vlad was born in 1431 in Transylvania into a noble family. His father was called Dracul, meaning dragon or devil in Romanian because he belonged to the Order of the Dragon, which fought the Muslim Ottoman Empire. Dracula means son of Dracul in Romanian. The name Tepes is also report to mean “the impaler”

Vlad the Impaler

He was born as the son of the prince of Wallachia. He, as his father, spent most of his life fighting the Ottoman Empire preventing the invasion of his country.

The Turks later were afraid of Dracula because the severity of his acts. Vlad the III was known as the impaler because that is how he killed many of his opponents.

There is never any mention of Vlad the III being a Vampire, just a sadistic ruler. Vlad was a hero to his people, even though his methods of his punishment were so severe. But he helped defeat the Turks and kept them out of Romania for many years.

AND WAREWOLVES

Hypertrichosis is a rare disease often called Werewolf syndrome– excessive hair of the face and body, sparing the palms and soles – that occurs at birth, and is thought to be caused by rare genetic mutations involving two conditions, the first is a mutation on chromosome 22. The second hasn’t been identified yet.

The legend was born long time before these few cases of Hypertrichosis (about 30 in the whole world), were associated with the myth and legend of the werewolves.

The Werewolf

A werewolf in folklore and mythology is a person who shape shifts into a wolf, either purposely, or after being placed under a curse. In medieval times the some had the belief that the trigger was the exposure to the full moon, concept that later on was used by fiction writers as part of the process of the transformation.
Another common belief is that a werewolf can be killed by a silver bullet.

Many cultures in history have had legends around these creatures and Shape-shifters similar to werewolves are common in myths from all over the world, though in many cases there are several other animals involved, besides wolves.

In Greek mythology the story of Lycaon is one the earliest examples of a werewolf myth. According to one of the versions of this legend Lycaon was transformed into a wolf by eating human flesh and his victims will inherit a similar curse.

Many of the werewolves in European tradition were most innocent and God-fearing persons, who suffered through the witchcraft of others, or simply from an unhappy fate

A big number of werewolf short stories and novels published in the 20^th century and continues in today’s days with films were werewolves play a big role in stories, often times in fight for supremacy with vampires.

Films like a Werewolf of London in 1935 created the standard that the werewolf always kills what he loves most. But it was in 1941 when Lon Chaney Jr., on his legendary interpretation of a werewolf in The Wolf Man, set the image that everyone has about these creatures of the night.

Vampires and Werewolves are a source of fantasy and imagination and also of box offices records for those that dare to speak, write and film about these creatures.

Are they just a legend and a myth? Some believe in them, some are skeptical and others don’t know. I just wanted to wish you sweet dreams… and close the windows, just in case…

The Tablet with the 2012 Prediction

Everything started near the center of the Mayan culture, the ancient city of Teotihuacán. Located around 31 miles north-east of the Mexico DC. The city is well known by two of the most impressive constructions in the world: Pyramid of the Sun, and the Pyramid of the Moon.
Numerous features distinguish the Maya from other cultures of ancient Mesoamerica, but one that has attracted explorers, scholars, and enthusiasts for centuries is Maya Hieroglyphic Writing.
One of the most relevant Hieroglyphic examples is the Maya Calendar.
The Maya calendar is a system of distinct calendars and almanacs used by the Maya civilization. Some communities in Guatemala still using similar systems, even today.
These calendars can be synchronized and interlocked, their combinations giving rise to further, more extensive cycles.

The Mayan system goes back to at least 600 BC. It has many similar aspects with other calendars employed by earlier Mesoamerican civilizations, such as the Zapotec and the Olmec, and later ones such as the Aztec. Although the Mesoamerican calendar did not originate with the Maya, their subsequent extensions and refinements of it were the most sophisticated. Along with those of the Aztecs, the Maya calendars are the best-documented and most completely understood.

By the Maya mythology, the deity Itzamna is the one that brought the knowledge of the calendar to the Maya.
The most important of these calendars is one with a period of 260 days. This 260-day calendar was the most used across all Mesoamerican societies, and is considered the oldest of the calendars systems.
It is based on one of these calendars that we got the idea of a doomsday in 2012.
What is exactly what the Mayans predicted? Did they predicted anything? Is the Mayan Calendar meant to tell us about the end of the World?

There are many Scientifics that stated very clearly that the Mayan calendar does not end in 2012 at all, that it is like the odometer on your car, as each section of the odometer reaches the number 9 and then clicks over to 0, the next number to it starts a new cycle, so that when all the numbers again reach 0 all the way across the odometer – the last number will change from 1 to 2 and the new cycle starts all over again.
In the meantime there are many books written about he subject. Most of them are trying to interpret the motives of a millenarian civilization through the eyes of our belief system.
Authors disagree about what humankind should expect on December 21, 2012, when the Maya’s “Long Count” calendar marks the end of a 5,126-year era.
For the ancient Maya people, it was a big reason for celebration to get to the end of a whole cycle. Part of the 2012 mystique stems from the stars. On the winter solstice in 2012, the sun will be aligned with the center of the Milky Way for the first time in 26,000 years (give or take a year or two). But scholars have serious doubts that the ancient Maya were even aware of that.
We have found many books on surviving 2010. Some of these books we can buy, other are simply distributed for free, with the intention of selling us something else later on. In reality, if 2012 was the day of the end of the world, I don’t think any manual will prepare us for that.
The reality is that there are many different opinions on this matter. However, let’s pay some attention to some of the facts:
Everything started with what is called Monument Six.
It was found at a small ruin in southern Mexico during a highway construction in the 1960s.
Some parts of the tablet were removed or seriously damaged during construction and some of the remaining parts contain the equivalent of the date 2012. The inscription describes something that is supposed to occur in 2012, and mention a name: Bolon Yokte, a no so known Mayan god associated with both war and creation.

However, erosion and a crack in the stone make the end of the passage almost illegible and some of the interpretations of what the last passage is saying is “He will descend from the skies.”
Some scholars are noticing that are other inscriptions at other Mayan sites for dates far beyond the year 2012 (one of them translates into events that will occur in the year 4772), perhaps an inspiration for another movie?
The Mayan civilization, which reached its height from 300 A.D. to 900 A.D., had a talent for astronomy.
The calendar starts in 3,114 B.C., marking time in roughly 394-year periods known as Baktuns. Thirteen was a significant, sacred number for the Mayas, and the 13th Baktun ends around Dec. 21, 2012.
What is going to happen December 21 2012? In my opinion we will have December 22 2012. But that is just my opinion. Would you like me to be right this time?

In regards of the movie 2012… I am going to watch it, with some popcorn… and hope r the best.

El Calendario Maya de las Predicciones del 2012

Todo comenzó cerca del centro de la cultura Maya, la ciudad antigua de Teotihuacan. Localizada alrededor de 50 kilómetros al nordeste de la capital de México. La ciudad es conocida por dos de las construcciones más impresionantes en el mundo: La Pirámide del Sol, y la Pirámide de la Luna.
Numerosos rasgos distinguen la cultura Maya de otras culturas de la Mezo-América antigua, pero uno que ha atraído a exploradores, eruditos y entusiastas durante siglos es la Escritura Jeroglífica Maya.
Uno de los ejemplos jeroglíficos más relevantes es el Calendario Maya.
El calendario Maya es un sistema de calendarios y almanaques usados por la civilización Maya. Algunas comunidades en Guatemala, aun hasta hoy, todavía siguen usando sistemas similares.
Estos calendarios pueden ser sincronizados y enlazados en combinaciones que dan ocasión a ciclos adicionales, más extensos.

El sistema Maya remonta al menos hasta el 600 a.C. y tiene muchos aspectos similares con otros calendarios empleados por otras civilizaciones aun más antiguas Mesoamericanas como el Zapoteca y el Olmeca y posteriores como el azteca. Aunque el calendario Mesoamericano no fuera inventado por los Mayas, sus perfeccionamientos y refinamientos convierten a estos en los más sofisticados. Junto con los calendarios Aztecas, los calendarios Mayas son los más ampliamente documentados y los más comprendidos.
En la mitología Maya, la deidad Itzamna es la que trajo el conocimiento del calendario al Maya.
Los más importantes de estos calendarios se basan en períodos de 260 días. Este calendario de 260 días era el más usado a través de todas las sociedades Mesoamericanas, y es considerado el más antiguo de los sistemas de calendarios.
Es basado en uno de estos calendarios que obtenemos la idea de un día del juicio final en el 2012.
¿Qué es exactamente lo qué los Mayas predijeron? ¿Realmente estaban prediciendo algo? ¿Estaba previsto que el Calendario Maya nos dijera algo sobre el fin del Mundo?

Hay muchos científicos que declararon de forma clara que el calendario Maya no se termina en 2012 en absoluto, que se asemeja al cuentakilómetros en un coche y que, cuando cada sección del cuentakilómetros alcanza el número 9 y luego hace clic a 0, con el siguiente número comienza un nuevo ciclo, de modo que cuando todos los números otra vez alcanzan 0 en el cuentakilómetros – el último número se cambiará de 1 a 2 y de esa manera comenzará un ciclo nuevo.
Mientras tanto hay muchos libros escritos sobre él tema. La mayor parte de ellos tratan de interpretar los motivos de una civilización milenaria aplicando la visión de nuestro sistema de creencias.
Los autores discrepan sobre lo que la especie humana debería esperar el 21 de diciembre de 2012, cuando en realidad los Mayas estaban señalando el final de una era de 5,126 años.
Para los antiguos Mayas, el llegar el completar un ciclo era un motivo grande de celebración. Parte de la leyenda del 2012 proviene de las estrellas.
En el solsticio de invierno en 2012, el sol estará alineado con el centro de la Vía Láctea por primera vez en 26,000 años (año más o año menos). Pero los eruditos tienen dudas serias que el Maya antiguo era en realidad consciente de esto.
Hemos encontrado muchos libros acerca de cómo sobrevivir el año 2012. Algunos de estos libros podemos comprar, otro son simplemente distribuidos gratis, con la intención de vendernos algo adicional más. En realidad, si 2012 es el día del final del mundo, no pienso que cualquier manual nos preparara para esto.
La realidad consiste en que hay muchas opiniones diferentes en esta materia. Sin embargo, vamos a prestar atención a algunos hechos:
Todo comenzó con algo que es llamado el Monumento Seis.
Fue encontrado en una pequeña ruina en el sur de México durante la construcción de una carretera en los años 1960.
Algunas partes de la tableta fueron quitadas o seriamente dañadas durante la construcción pero algunas de las partes supervivientes contienen el equivalente de la fecha 2012. La inscripción describe algo que se supone ocurrirá en el año 2012, y menciona un nombre: Bolon Yokte, un Dios Maya, no muy conocido para el no erudito, asociado tanto con la guerra como con la creación.

Quetzalcoatl

Sin embargo, la erosión y una grieta en la piedra hacen que el final del paso sea casi inelegible y dando lugar a algunas de las interpretaciones que dice: “Y el [%u2026] descenderá de los cielos.”
Algunos eruditos declaran que en otras tabletas y calendarios Mayas que fijan y describen eventos que habrán de ocurrir más allá del año 4772. ¿Podría esto ser motivo de inspiración para una nueva película?
La civilización Maya, que alcanzó su cenit entre los años 300 a. de J.C. a 900 a. de J.C., tenía un extraordinario talento y conocimientos en astronomía.
El calendario comienza en el 3,114 a. de J.C., marcando el tiempo en períodos de aproximadamente 394 años conocidos como Baktuns. Trece era un número significativo, un número sagrado para los Mayas, y  el 13º (decimotercero) Baktun finaliza alrededor del 21 de diciembre de 2012.

¿Qué va a pasar el 21 de diciembre del 2012? En mi opinión tendremos el 22 de diciembre de 2012. Pero es sólo mi opinion.
De todas maneras ¿Le gustaría que en esta ocasión yo estuviese en lo correcto?

En cuanto a la película… yo voy a verla con un paquete de palomitas y… a esperar lo mejor.

Have you been spending countless hours in front of your computer, clicking? Does the routine (Log in, Earning Area, Click, Wait (from 10to 45 seconds), click the right number, repeat as many times as adds are available, Withdraw, wait and hope to get pay), sounds like something familiar to you? It certainly does sound familiar to us.
What about paying $5, $15 or even $25 to those self called “gurus”, to get THE SECRET TO GET PAID WITH PTC’s or HOW TO GROW YOUR PTC’s BUSINESS AND ACTUALLY GET PAY?
Today you will have a real inside look at the world of PTC’s
There are all kinds of PTC’s, however, we can define a common denominator: they charge too little to advertisers and offer too much to clickers… does that sounds like something it makes sense to you? Where is the profit for those companies?

This is directly from the Terms and Conditions of some of the most known PTC’s sites

·  “Payouts
Each payout period we determine payouts based on percentage of site income divided by how many clients request payment at a particular time. Once a user has earned a minimum of $1,001.00.Payments are made via PayPal or AlertPay only. Payment waiting time is 55business days from date of payment request. All earnings listed and/or represented by (The PTC Company) are estimated values in advertising dollars, actual values subject to change without notice. For The PTC company to process your cash out request you must have an upgraded membership for at least 60 days prior to cash out request submission. We reserve the right to payout in International Currencies at time of payment, in the event of possible world economic crisis. It is solely the user’s responsibility to declare all earnings or payments received from The PTC company to their applicable tax and revenue agency in their country of residence. The PTC Company not in any way liable for any damages you incur as a result of handling the monies received from the Site. Payment fees for PayPal or AlertPay are deducted from earnings. The PTC Company is a revenue sharing site. All payments and purchases are services rendered and non-refundable. All charge backs or reversed transactions made on your payments will lead to an immediate account dismissal. Please contact us before you make a decision to do charge backs or reversed transactions.
There are those also than blatantly say:
Payouts
“This is not a site that pays cash, all earnings is for advertising purposes. (And look at this statement) Requesting payout is violation of terms and can lead to termination and is at minimum a donation to the site. “

So, if you request payout you can be terminated because “is violation of terms”. Like is an offense to them that you pretend to get paid for your work.

So to the question, is there any PTC’s company that really pays? The answer is that we have had receive several positives feed backs from individuals that are saying they got paid. Here are some of the links of those companies.

http://bux.to

http://www.donkeymails.com

http://companybux.com

http://nomincashout.com

http://www.linkbucks.com

http://www.linkgrand.com

http://richptc.com

We are not endorsing these companies, since we never really got paid. All we are recommending is:

1. Always read every word in the TERMS and CONDITIONS section before enrolling and committing to spend your valuable time.
2. The majority of the companies that are being reported positively are paying 1 to 5 cents (not dollars) per click, so you can imagine how long it will take you to make any money at all.
3. Apparently, if you upgrade to a paid membership your chances to get pay are increasing.
4. PTC’s are a great way to have cheap advertisement. We are using it for our businesses. Not so much to make a living out of it.

Just think for a moment: We pay around $4 a month to have a banner on any PTC’s site. That banner gets hit about 100 times a day. If each one of those persons that click on our banner gets $1 to $5 per click… the company will have to pay from $1,000 to $5,000 to the clickers… does that sounds like a profitable company to you? Make $4 and pay $100? We thought so.

If you are looking to get pay for your effort, for real, we are analizin many different companies out there so you don’t have to do it. How crazy is that? Do all this work for free? But once we find what it really works it will be well worth the effort. Stay tune. This is an honest site we are just giving an honest review. Feel free to leave your comments and also to request reviews, that will greatly help us to improve and be of real service.

With our best wishes,

Existen todo tipo de PTC´s pero la mayoría tienen un denominador común: cobran muy poco a los que quieren anunciarse y ofrecen mucho, en comparación, a aquellos que se dedican a “clickear”… ¿Le parece que esto es lógico? ¿Donde están entonces las ganancias para estas compañías?
Estos párrafos están tomados y traducidos directamente de los Términos y Condiciones de algunas de las más conocidas páginas de PTC´s. (1)

• Pagos
  Cada período de pago nosotros determinamos dichos pagos basados en un porcentaje de los ingresos de la página dividido por el número de peticiones de pago hechas en un periodo de tiempo determinado. Una vez que un usuario ha acumulado un mínimo de $1,001.00 los pagos son efectuados solo a través de PayPal o AlertPay. El período de espera para recibir un pago es de 55 días hábiles (o de negocios) desde el día en que se hizo la petición de pago. Todas las ganancias listadas y o representadas son de un valor estimado en dólares de publicidad, los valores reales estarán sujetos a cambios sin aviso previo. Para que la compañía de PTC procese su petición de pagos, usted debe tener una membresía pagada por, al menos, 60 días previos al envío de la petición de pago. Nos reservamos el derecho de efectuar pagos en Moneda Internacional al momento del pago, en la posible eventualidad de crisis económica mundial. Es la responsabilidad exclusiva del perceptor de declarar los ingresos recibidos al departamento de Hacienda o del Tesoro de sus respectivos países de residencia. La Compañía de PTC no será, en modo alguno, considerada responsable de cualquier daño incurrido como resultado del manejo de los dineros percibidos por el usuario. Las tarifas cargadas por PayPal o AlertPay son deducidas directamente de las ganancias a percibir. La Compañía de PTC es un lugar de intercambio de ganancias. Todas las cancelaciones de pago sobre servicios adquiridos conducirán a la cancelación inmediata de la cuenta. Por favor, contacte con nosotros antes de hacer cualquier decisión de cancelar cualquier transacción efectuada.
  También hay otras páginas que, de forma descarada dicen:
  Pagos
  Esta no es una compañía que paga dinero, todas las ganancias son presentadas con motives publicitarios.(Y miren esta otra afirmación) El requerir recibir un pago es una violación de los términos y puede llevar a la cancelación de la cuenta y como consecuencia mínima a una donación a la página.
  Así que, si usted pide que le paguen, usted puede ser “despedido” por que es “una violación de los términos”, como si querer que le paguen a uno por el trabajo realizado fuese una ofensa.

A la pregunta ¿Hay entonces alguna compañía de PTC que realmente pague? La respuesta es que hemos recibido varios testimonios de individuos que dicen que a ellos si le han pagado.  Esta es una breve lista de algunas de las compañías referidas:

http://bux.to
http://www.donkeymails.com
http://companybux.com
http://nomincashout.com
http://www.linkbucks.com
http://www.linkgrand.com
http://richptc.com

Nosotros no estamos recomendando estas compañías por la sencilla razón de que a nosotros aun no nos ha pagado nadie.  Todo lo que recomendamos es:

1. Lea siempre cada palabra de la sección de TÉRMINOS y CONDICIONES antes de inscribirse y comprometerse a dedicar de su valioso tiempo.
2. La mayoría de las compañías que están siendo reportadas como pagadoras están pagando de 1 a 5 centavos (no dólares) por click, así que ya puede imaginarse cuanto tiempo le va a llevar hacer algo de dinero.
3. Las compañías de PTC son una manera estupenda de hacer publicidad muy barata. De hecho, nosotros las usamos para nuestra publicidad.

Piense por solo un momento. Nosotros pagamos alrededor de $4 al mes por tener uno de nuestros banderines en cualquier compañía de PTC. Ese banderín es visto alrededor de 100 veces por día. Si cada una de las personas que visitan nuestro banderín ha de recibir de $1 a $5 por clic… la compañía habrá de pagar de $100a $500 a los que hacen clic… ¿Le suena esto como algo que tenga sentido? ¿Ganar $4 y pagar 100? Justo lo que pensábamos que iba usted a decir.

No se dejen deslumbrar por el brillo del oro fácil. Recuerden que millones de personas perdieron su vida tratando de encontrarlo en la conocida fiebre del oro del 47. Aunque usted no va a perder su vida en este intento de hacer dinero en Internet, le sugerimos que busque y compare antes de decidir correr en pos de promesas de dinero fácil o de hacerle millonarios de la noche a la mañana. Eso no existe y si alguien sabe de algun método de verdad, que haga esto por nosotros, le invitamos a que nos envíen información. Les prometemos estudiar todas las propuestas y a comentarles de la manera más objetiva posible, cuales han sido nuestras experiencias y sugerencias.

Hasta la siguiente, les dejamos cin algunas citas para que ustedes las investiguen.

Con nuestros mejores deseos,
