Paraphrasing an article about "Ascot Tie" (A Re-Write Example)

The Original Article (from Wikipedia.org):

Ascot Tie:

An ascot tie, or ascot, is a narrow neckband with wide pointed wings, traditionally made of pale gray patterned silk. This wide, formal tie is usually patterned, folded over, and fastened with a stickpin or tie tack. It is usually reserved for wear with morning dress for formal daytime weddings and worn with a cutaway morning coat and striped grey trousers. This type of dress cravat is made of a thicker, woven type of silk similar to a modern tie and is traditionally either grey or black.

The ascot is descended from the earlier type of cravat widespread in the early nineteenth century, most notably during the age of Beau Brummell, made of heavily starched linen and elaborately tied around the neck. Later in the 1880s, amongst the upper-middle-class in Europe men began to wear a more loosely tied version for formal daytime events with daytime full dress in frock coats or with morning coats. It remains a feature of morning dress for weddings today.

The Royal Ascot race meeting at the Ascot Racecourse, gave the ascot its name, although such dress cravats were no longer worn with morning dress at the Royal Ascot races by the Edwardian era. The ascot was still commonly worn for business with morning dress in the late 19th and very early 20th centuries.


Rewriting the article (changing arrangement, vocabulary and style but keeping the content unchangable) :

An Ascot tie is a wide-pointed wings neckband, often silky, which is usually wrapped around the neck and fastened with a tie nail to secure its ends. It is rather a combination between a tie and a scarf and was used widely in the old times. Nowadays it may be customized during formal daytime occasions (e.g. weddings).

Ascot tie has derived its name from the famous Royal Ascot race held during the eighteenth century, which in turn derived its name from the meeting racecourse which was a small village named Ascot, in Berkshire, England. The trivial fact is that in spite of the name origin, Ascot ties were never worn with morning dress at the race by the Edwardian era.

Originally Ascot tie is related to the earlier type of cravat commonly used in the nineteenth century during Beau Brummell age. At that time it was fabricated from starched linen and tied carefully around the neck. It began to widespread in the 1880s amongst the upper-middle-class in Europe where men used to wear a more loosely tied version for formal daytime events. It was usually accompanied with frock or morning coats.

You may now kiss the Bride! (For males only)

This is a familiar eternal dilemma that everyone has gone through: "What is the perfect time for me to get married?" Finding your dream partner does not mean you have solved the question, on the contrary, it may cause more trouble. Conventionally, marriage is defined as a legal/religious domestic partnership between two individuals. However, each of these two may have a complete different (and sometimes opposite) characters, with different experince and different method of living. Supposedly they are united in love, and that is what makes them go through this uneasy procedure.

Marriage is an unusual experience by all means. To have your beloved girl beside you all the time, sharing life issues together and talking about common daily details sounds really good. Yet, this is only the bright side. Having your girl living with you (whose name now is your 'wife') means in the same time gaining more and more responsibilities and burdens. You will have to forget about this contrived life-style you were leading, including random bed and dinner times, or being absorbed in your work and missing calling your dear wife, etc. Furthermore, your hard-gained pennies will not be enough anymore to establish your house/wife requirments. This means that a lot of work and concentration must be considered.

Never forget to mention "Being-a-father" experience. This is kind of a science fiction thriller if you think of it! You may stick to safe sex for a while but it never lasts. A day will come when your dear wife announce you the 'happy news' and of course you have to pretend to be flying from happiness. It is a wonderful gift indeed but it also means more and more burdens. Say Good-Bye to the late handsome exquisite guy you were!

In the end you have to compromise between your free-style life (which may deprive you of an intimate partner close to you), and a restricted responsible marriage life. You never gain all or lose all and you must make a choice: Your freedom or Kissing the Bride!

Review about "The Last Temptation of Christ (1988)"

When I first heard about "The Last Temptation of Christ", directed by the most famous Martin Scorsese, I decided that I must see it for many reasons: First it talks about Jesus Christ who is so controversial among so many religious doctrines. Second, it talks about Jesus Christ who is the most revered by all Christians (which i'm among them). Third, it talks about Jesus Christ with a different point of view (more humane, if you like the expression).

The dual nature of Jesus has been distracting people all over ages, but there is a fact that no one can deny, is that as Jesus is 100% divine, he is 100% humane as well. He is not an angel if you know what I mean. Why we suppose that he accepted to accomplish his difficult duty with a total consent and complete satisfactory? without never being hesitated or reconsidering? The gospels themselves declare that Jesus has prayed to God to "take the cup away from Him". The film has seen Jesus from this point of view, and we can accept or refuse it, but we cannot deny that it is deserved to be considered, even from the religious ones.

This doesn't mean that I accept the film completely. The scenes of the young angel in the last half hour in the film (which are the scenes of the last temptation) makes me yelling, what the hell is that?! till I understand that this was the last Satan temptation that Jesus has refused it in the end and demanded to return to the moment of execution. May be these scenes which caused the audience to have a bad impression towards the film till they understand what is all about, may be because they are too long and with no hint about their truth. Beside, of course, the odd doubted relationship that the film declared between Jesus and Mary Magdaline which caused a large vexation among the religious ones, despite the disclaimer in the beginning.

Finally I would like to say, that I'm a religious Christian, who accepted the concept of the film, refused some scenes, but this what good films must make; controversy and more controversy.

Does Money bring Happiness?

Money can buy a lot of things. It can bring you your dream house, can get you the most wonderful car in town, can show you the world numerous times, yet this is not everything. Once you felt bad about yourself for some reason, or got infected with an incurable disease money cannot save you anymore. In fact, this is the major point of weakness about money, that it can buy a lot of things but not everything. Health, love, and mind relief are not very avaiable in today's markets.

For many cases, money has proved that it can cause a reverse action. In the sense that it can bring a real misery to life. I have heard a touching story about this young guy who had inherited a fortune from his late grandpa. He misused his fortune in such a bad way which led him in the end to a fatal drug addiction. He imagined that being wealthy had given him a non vulnerable green light to do whatever he wanted. Money has spoiled and bashed the guy instead of saving him. These things are really happening every day. Money can be a real curse for who misused it.

In the end money can really be a wonderful tool of joy, but it is not a magical prescription of happiness. Many materialistic things can be bought by money while other more important holical things are priceless.
