The fountain is nice but what is still nicer is the walk that starts from it and goes up to the source. There are monkeys frolicking above the walkers' heads. It is fun.
Virtually abandoned. There is no water in the pipes. Access is impossible for the car. Impossivel for handicapped who is using crutches or wheelchair. There is an open sewer where once was a stream.
You shouldn't go to Tiradentes only to see this fountain, but if you are in town, I would recommend to take a look. It is worthy a couple of pics and some thoughts about life in the past. The walk to the place is interesting as well, so set aside a couple of minutes for this short "detour"
It could be better preserved in my opinion. It's interesting to imagine where people got their water to cook, clean,wash at that time

BBC African Perspective yesterday broadcast an interesting discussion that I would like to continue on this blog. The crux of the discussion was the rising cost of living in Africa and the (in)ability of people to live comfortably within their means.
Take Uganda as an example. Fuel prices have nearly doubled in the past year and the cost of essentials like soap, salt, sugar, flour and oil is on the rise. Electricity has increased, water has increased and bus, taxi and bodaboda fares have increased. Inflation is also on the rise, the shilling is unstable and the economy isn't growing as fast as it did a decade ago.
On the other hand, new housing estates are mushrooming all over Greater Kampala, the road network is unable to support the hundreds of cars imported into the country every month. The Ugandan middle class is growing and more young professionals can afford to go abroad on holiday at least once a year.
So … what do you think?
How are you able to live on your salary every month?
Do you supplement it by moonlighting, investing in the stock exchange or running a business?
Are you merely a product of your nations with large debt and insurmountable balance of payment problems?
Are there 'easy' ways to survive this economic stranglehold?
Is the prosperity of your country merely superficial with an inevitable crash in the near future?

batirov may have a flat fotted style, but one thing about rus wrestlers is they adapt to there opponents, so its impossible really to say
batirov may have a flat fotted style, but one thing about rus wrestlers is they adapt to there opponents, so its impossible really to say
i ALSO THINK SMITH.
If Batirov's opponents are scared, it's because he makes then scared. The man's absolutely brutal to wrestle against. Watch some video, he just abuses his opponents. He's like the ultimate grinder, and when ever anyone gets any momentum he just snaps their head down and holds it for a while. Those who come after him agressively get tossed around (see Olympic final vs. Abas). He's in that kind of zone right now that Gatsalov was in for a few years, where he wins all the close matches.
BTW I'm not saying Smith wouldn't win, he probably the best all-time at this weight. Just wanted to get some credit to Batriov, who makes his opponents wrestle his way because they have no choice.
For the record I'm torn on this evolution of wrestling thing. I'm not convinced the wrestlers today are clearly better than they were 20 years ago.
For example I believe someone like Mike Sheets or Dave Schultz would have pummeled Ben Askren while in College.
Also the rules make it even more difficult.
For example a lot of people say that defense is better today than it was in the past. While I don't entirely disagree with this, one needs to look at the rules in place at the time period we are discussing and how these rules translate to a wrestler's style due to the amount of time they put into perfecting certain positions.
30 years ago you were cautioned for taking even one step back or blocking with your head. People often joke about the stances of wrestlers from the 70s or early 80s but back then you had to present yourself on your feet or you were cautioned, so for this reason the stances were raised higher. In this time period someone like John Smith might have been cautioned out of a match for his style.
Now there is no passivity and wrestlers can block. Also because each period is a separate match and each period is only 2 minutes if you make a mistake there is less time to make it up. Wrestlers appear more adverse to taking risk and going for a big throw right off the bat. So where do you think a wrestler is going to spend most of their time? The answer is working on defense and countering. The reality is that what they are calling good defense these days was stalling 20 years ago. Someone like Alan Dudaev, who is a master of the newer rules, might have been thrown out of a match 20 years ago.
BTW there is no way Smith would have lost to a wrestler like Zadick.
I tend to agree with q_s on the defence thing. I wrestled in South Africa a couple of years back where they still penalties for defensive wrestling. At the national trials I was 1 clinch and many, many pins. I know that the wrestlers there were of lower caliber but still, the difference was noticable.
This year's olympics proved that people can still get thrown around and caught in big moves. Watch Cejudo's, Shahin's and Terziev's matches. Those who wrestle offensively (against offensively minded openents) can still rack up the points.
well thats the sick and twisted part of wrestling, the defensive wrestler can win! an people are usually too scared to attack in fear of being down points with little time left (60kg iranian, Murad Gaidarov), but in all honesty i would pick smith over batirov, an i do believe that the wrestlers back in smiths or even in the 96 era were the best an its only gone down hill since par terre was taken out
i feel that the new 'no passivity' rules allow the wrestlers to wrestle more naturally as opposed to a referee screaming at you to display action/initiative when u are collecting yourself/taking measure - backpedalling is now punished via the pushout rule and the short rounds now place the frightened one at a disadvantage (no initiation to attack/win round but the clinch which isn't reliable)- 4 me that addresses passivity enough. The 'blocking' is a technique in itself and only natural for defence in wrestling - but weak in that it isn't as dangerous as engaging the opponent like beloglazov/others from 80's did. In the future the technician will punish the opponent who would overdo it (be too defensive) anyway. my opinion.batirov vs smith? - with new rules batirov, old rules smith. i feel batirov can 'shutout' smith with new rules. the constant action requirement of old rules may have taken batirov out of comf.zone which he relies on alot and smith is good at captalising.what do u guys think of cross's match with mavlet's brother? - i think it shows past wrestlers are adaptable to new rules - same tech. just different strategy. smith would have done excellent again perhaps...rain.

Soulstice Theatre can't find spark in Woody Allen's 'God'
In Woody Allen's movie "Love and Death," Boris (Allen) asks that quintessential Allen question: "What if there is no God?" Ten years later, in "The Purple Rose of Cairo," Mia Farrow's Cecilia answers, in words that would give any actor pause: A world without God, she tells Tom (Jeff Daniels), "would be like a movie with no point, and no happy ending."
Hence, it's no surprise that the dilemma opening "God" — a one-act Allen play written in the same year as "Love and Death" that's now being staged by Soulstice Theatre — involves a playwright named Hepatitis (Tim Kietzman) and an actor named Diabetes (Joe Dolan), struggling to come up with an ending for a play. »Read Full Article

You have to feel sorry for the airlines. The industry is well past its Golden Years, whenever they were. Some say they were in the 1930s, others in the '50s or '60s. Certainly, these years, which always look better with hindsight, were before the days of deregulation, which began in 1978.

A fortnight ago, on a gripping night at Nagpur, India thumped Australia thanks to Virat Kohli's unbeaten 115. Soon, Ravi Shastri and Matthew Hayden were doing their analysis for television. This being the season of Sachin Tendulkar's retirement, understandably the focus shifted to the maestro and Hayden, the hard-as-nails Aussie melted and said: "Very few players can seem to levitate above the game itself and he has done that!"
There was adulation, respect and awe in his voice and these traits combined usually reside in a die-hard fan's heart and not necessarily in the big frame of a former adversary, but such is Tendulkar's pre-eminence that no one is immune to his greatness.
Hayden's overwhelming praise was just symbolic of the high regard that trails the legend all over the cricket-playing world.
The admiration that Tendulkar evokes abroad is directly linked to the various highpoints that he clocked across the seas over a career that stretched past two decades.
Perth 1992, an incandescent 114 that had youth's irreverence and the weight of genius mixed into one fine batting exposition. Sydney 2004, where his unbeaten 241 had restraint towards the off-side, a self-denial that may have done any ascetic proud. Auckland 1994, when he walked in as an opener for the first-time in ODIs and whipped up an explosive 82.
Or, how about recalling his first Test hundred, an unbeaten 119 at Manchester in 1990, when he proved that all that talk about him being a prodigy was not hot air?
Tendulkar has essayed innumerable memorable knocks on foreign shores ranging from those 'Desert Storm' assaults in Sharjah to the hammering of Shoaib Akhtar in the 2003 World Cup in South Africa.
The above list lays no claim to being exhaustive, but the truth is that Tendulkar has book-marked his career with glittering forays to the batting crease all across the globe.
He has filled venues as diverse and historic as Sydney and Lord's, where fans thronged because they loved him and because in the last four years, there was always that sad thought about it being his last appearance at that ground.
The love of the public and the respect of peers and rivals is something every sportsperson covets and Tendulkar received that in abundance.
Not for him the bitterness which at times taints the Radcliffe Line that splits India and Pakistan. Across the Wagah border where he had his baptism by fire in 1989, he is revered much like in India.
In Sach, Genius Unplugged, an anthology of articles on the great man, Osman Samiuddin, one of Pakistan's leading cricket writers, wrote: "Pakistan, I suspect, would love to have Tendulkar as he was in Chennai in January 1999 every time. He fought the good fight that Test, a solitary one."
If for Sunil Gavaskar, the West Indies holds a special place where he even has a Calypso in his honour, for Tendulkar, it's Australia, where his biggest fans seem to reside.
The legend around him gained lustre when Sir Don Bradman told his wife that the Mumbaikar's batting style was identical to the one that he practised. It is not surprising that Tendulkar has a wax statue in his honour at Sydney.
Making a fan out of everyone irrespective of nationality is perhaps Tendulkar's greatest gift to cricket.
Despite the odd blemish like the Harbhajan Singh-Andrew Symonds fracas in 2008 where Tendulkar's role was questioned, the master still rules and just one word lingers all over — respect.

Part of the HMDA's strategy to clean up the Hussainsagar lake, the kiosks will house water pots where a symbolic immersion will be facilitated
Puja material brought for immersion in the Hussainsagar lake will now have to be handed over to collection counters set up for the purpose. Officials have placed water pots at these counters where a symbolic immersion will be facilitated.
Part of the HMDA's strategy to clean up the polluted water body, the first such counter has been set up close to the temple on the stretch between IMAX circle and Lumbini Park.
Plastic bags aplenty
Devotees are known to immerse dried flowers, leaves, garlands, burnt incense stick and the like into the lake. A fence, erected at points mostly used for the practice, failed to deter them.
Moreover, people stuff puja material in plastic bags and throw them into the lake. Officials say a large number of plastic bags were removed from the shoreline during cleaning works.
"The oxygen level at the lake is very low and flowers immersed here are not decomposing the way they should," HMDA member, Environment, R.P. Khajuria said.
15 collection counters
HMDA's collection counters are to come up at 15 locations along the lake's shoreline.
"Once the usage [at the counters] picks up, we propose to put in place bigger water tubs [for the symbolic immersion]," Mr. Khajuria said.
He said the collected puja material would be shifted to Sanjeevaiah Park daily and used to prepare organic manure.

While I'm normally a law-abiding citizen, sometimes I realize that certain rules are meant to be broken. Such is the case when it comes to base coats!
I've tried nearly every mainstream base coat under the sun, beyond the dark side of the mood, and around the corner.
You name it, since 2008, if it's a popular base coat, I gave it a run for its money.
I can't remember the exact date when OPI Nail Envy waltzed into my life with its cummerbund, but I know that it should've been sooner!
If you've followed Swatch And Learn for a while, you know that for pretty much every single nail-polish review, my base coat of choice is, well, not a base coat! It's OPI Nail Envy, which is classified as a nail strengthener.
My natural nails are very strong like Hercules. (Thank my mom and dad for that because I don't do anything special, and I'm always using my nails to pick at labels and other things that will make a nailphile cringe. I'm extremely rough on my nails, and I'm constantly typing on the keyboard at my full-time job. Then, I come home and work on my blog – haha, more keyboard typing!)
So…it's understandable that I used to steer clear of nail strengtheners. But, so many readers kept raving about OPI Nail Envy, and, like any nailphile, my curiosity got the better of me. I had to see if it was worth the hype or not.
Well, I'm so glad that I was curious like a cat because my search for a Holy Grail base coat came to an end the day I tried OPI Nail Envy (the original formula)!
I use it as a base coat, so this review is only judging it that way. (I can't judge how well it strengthens nails, as my nails aren't weak, thin, or peeling. Plus when I used this, I didn't notice any difference in terms of nail strength.)
For those with nails that need to get buff, you'll be happy to know that this is a maximum-strength formula with hydrolyzed protein and calcium. This combination helps nails grow harder, longer, and stronger, while resisting peeling, cracking, and splitting, according to the official OPI website.
Read this review to learn why I'm no longer looking for a great base coat. I've found it!

The Way I Work: Karmaloop's Greg Selkoe
Keeping up With the Message(s)
I get 500 to 600 e-mails daily. Most are from customers, the rest from brands, designers, business partners, and other entrepreneurs. My assistant Lauren triages them: If it's a business decision, she'll flag it. If it's something someone else in the company can answer, she forwards it. She generally keeps on top of everything and keeps me posted on what's going on. The ones from customers are my priority.

The Bitter Economics of Sweet Wines
It was raining as I approached Barsac, the small village at the heart of France's sweet-winemaking region. Navigating my car along its tiny back roads, I had long since given up on my GPS, which insisted I had "reached my destination," though I was clearly still far from where I was supposed to be: in the cellars of Château Climens, one of the appellation's leading properties.
Trusting my instincts, I took a right at the fork, drove over a train track and, with just one call to the château, managed to find my way onto its expansive gravel drive, the rain still pouring.
Château Climens produces around 30,000 bottles of luscious, lemony, honey-colored sweet wine every year. Its 30 hectares of vineyards sit between the château and the A62 motorway that runs all the way to Toulouse. The vineyard's slight elevation gives the wines an attractive acidity, adding a little finesse.
Drinking Now
From everyday drinking to a treat from the cellar, three wines ripe for tasting today.
Since the early 1990s, the estate has been run by Bérénice Lurton, who, with her technical director, Frédéric Nivelle, has established its reputation. The 2011 vintage in Sauternes is good; it comes on heels of the superb 2009 and 2005, and the exceptional 2001.
The reason the 2011 wines are so interesting is the unique weather pattern the growing season experienced. The spring saw temperatures soar above the average. This was followed by hail, which depleted the crop, and a very wet end to the summer. Then came an intense burst of heat at the end of the season.
All this conspired to produce wines that are delightfully fresh on the nose, with huge concentration on the palate. At nearby Château d'Yquem, the wine has a joyous nose, with floral and peach aromas, but it is when sipped that its purity and freshness stand out.
Given that Sauternes is widely regarded as the world's greatest sweet-wine-producing region, the 2011s should be easy to sell. Not quite. While producers 25 miles northwest in Bordeaux can sell their reds and whites relatively easily, sweet wine is out of fashion.
One hears stories of cellars filled with unsold stock, while Sauternes producers lament that their creations are often referred to as "dessert" wines. They argue that, while their wines are sweet, they can also be drunk with a variety of dishes, from Roquefort salad to Cantonese roast pork. I love to serve them with the first course, as the sweetness naturally lifts the mood of the gathering. But therein lies the problem: however much you like sweet wine, it can really only be drunk in small quantities.
Why not drop the price? Again, the economics of the region aren't as straightforward as elsewhere. Good Sauternes relies on a unique combination of foggy mornings, a certain amount of humidity and painstaking labor. To reach the optimum amount of concentration and sweetness, the grape varieties used to make the wine—Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle—need to be infected by a fungal growth, Botrytis cinerea, known as noble rot.
But not every bunch is infected uniformly, so pickers have to be diligent in selecting the grapes. Moreover, picking can be painstakingly slow, taking in some cases up to two months, 10 times more than for dry table wine. The risks are high; if the weather turns, the rot can turn as well, becoming gray rot.
While noble rot concentrates the sugars, allowing the water to evaporate and imparting the grapes with an attractive sweetness, gray rot attacks the grapes, leaving them tasting distinctly rotten and ruining at least part of the crop. This all means the production costs of making sweet wine are very high.
Of course, producers could switch to making dry white wine or even red, but by an accident of geography and climate, Sauternes is one of the few areas in which conditions are more or less perfect for the production of that distinctive rich, nutty sweetness.
Which leaves the Sauternes producers praying for a change in fashion, back to a time, more than a century ago, when their wine was among the most sought-after in the world. Whether this happens remains to be seen.

Both sides of the aisle are looking for budget cuts. One place they're looking is the e-government fund. Last year the General Services Administration asked for $34 million for the E-gov fund for fiscal 2011. It's trying to hold on to that amount in whatever budget deal Congress makes for the rest of this fiscal year, but budget cutters in Congress want to chop that number down to $2 million from now until September 30.
Former E-gov administrator Karen Evans tells us what might stay, what might go, and who it would affect if this cut gets passed.

EU mission trains troops in Mali
BAMAKO, Mali In preparation for a drawdown of French troops from Mali, a European Union team started training Malian soldiers for battle against jihadists who overran much of this West African country before they were pushed back by a French military intervention.
On a recent day, small groups of Malians stood in the burning heat and orange sands in the town of Koulikoro, 60 kilometers (37 miles) west of the capital Bamako, learning to hold weapons. They began the training last week, and this week they learned how to shoot from standing, sitting and prone positions.
About 550 people form the team meant to ready Mali's army for combat. But there is worry that the project to train thousands of soldiers may not be sufficient to keep the armed Islamic militants at bay.
French forces entered Mali swiftly and strongly in January after Islamic militants began a formidable push south toward the country's capital. The militants, who are inspired by a radical interpretation of Islam, ruled the northern half of Mali for nearly 10 months before the French-led military operation forced them into the desert surrounding the main cities. The extremists have responded with a series of attacks, including suicide bombings.
French military spokesman Col. Thierry Burkhard said this week that about 100 French troops have been pulled out of Mali and were as of this week in Cyprus on their way back to France. Last month, French President Francois Hollande said that by July, about 2,000 French soldiers will still be in the former French colony, down from 4,000 at the peak deployment, and at the end of the year "1,000 French soldiers will remain." He said the French troops would likely be part of a U.N. peacekeeping operation that France is pushing for.
The French-led operation with backing from regional bloc ECOWAS and under authorization of the U.N. Security Council has largely been hailed a success so far, though there are some concerns the militants will simply regroup once the French start drawing down.
Mali's military chain of command was broken after a coup last year. Soldiers lack respect for their commanders and superiors. There are reports that soldiers, humiliated by their defeat last year at the hands of the Islamic extremists, have carried out reprisals against the Arab and Tuareg civilians left behind.
Human Rights Watch released a report Thursday that said two Tuareg men who had been arrested in February and tortured by Malian soldiers in the Timbuktu region have died in detention in Bamako.
The army had detained seven Tuareg men between the ages of 21 and 66 in February on suspicion they supported Islamic militant groups, the rights group said. The seven told a researcher they had been "severely beaten and kicked, burned, injected with a caustic substance, and threatened with death while in custody," the report said.
Col. Christophe Paczka, a French commander of the training center in Koulikoro, said weapons and equipment were brought and assembled for the training of the Malian troops.

The CRKT Mt. Rainier Knife is the kind of knife you need when your life depends on the tools you select - tools such as your pitons, ice axe, crampons and knife. Because climbers regard reaching the summits of the 14,000 ft. North American peaks as the pinnacle of achievement, CRKT has named this popular line of knives the 14K Summit series. The CRKT Mount Rainier Knife is the middle size of the series, with a 2.875" blade. The Columbia River Mt. Rainier Knife is an ideal utility knife for your mountain climbing gear, large enough to undertake serious cutting tasks.
This CRKT Knife is ideal for everyday carry. The CRKT Mount Rainier Knife begins with a powerful InterFrame locking liner construction in an easily cleaned open build, with nickel chrome plated zinc alloy scales featuring an aircraft-style drilled "skeleton" design. Weight is reduced without compromising the exceptional strength. The dual liners are 420J2 stainless steel. Handles are designed with an extended guard, generous size and bead-blast finish to give you extra gripping power. Friction grooves at the lock and on the blade spine improve grip in wet and icy conditions.
The high-carbon, 420J2 stainless steel blade of the CRKT Mount Rainier Mountain Climbing Knife features a rugged modified drop point shape and bead-blast finish. Blade grinds are engineered to retain maximum thickness at the tip and through the length of the spine. This blade is built for real work. Triple-Point Serrations are available on all sizes. Integrated into the design is the patented* LAWKS; safety, which effectively converts your folder into a virtual fixed blade when the lever is slid forward- very reassuring when you are using your knife for difficult and tiring tasks. Double-grooved ambidextrous thumb studs allow you to comfortably open or close the blade with a single, smooth, one-handed motion, aided by the lubrous washers at the blade pivot which guarantee continued smoothness. All fasteners are Torx, proven superior in initial assembly and owner maintenance, such as tightening the pivot screw for proper blade tension after years of heavy, sustained work loads. The convenient stainless steel clothing/gear clip is easily removable, attached with three Torx fasteners.
The CRKT 14K Summit Mt. Rainier Knife is designed to reach the summit of tough, strong folding knives. It's all about excellence and achievement. If you're comparing all-alloy, multipurpose knives, the Columbia River Mt. Rainier sets the standard.

The 4 girls who play 'Matilda' bond offstage
"I feel like I'm a different person in a way because I kind of made my dream come true," says Milly, 10, whose credits include "Anything Goes" in Tampa, Fla.
"Matilda" is written by playwright Dennis Kelly, with music and lyrics by Australian comedian-composer Tim Minchin. It is directed by Tony Award winner Matthew Warchus and also stars Bertie Carvel.
The actresses say they connect with the musical's message of independence, its humor and imagination, and the complexity of the part, which requires some cartwheels in addition to a good pair of pipes.
Bailey, 10, says the role is hard because Matilda is bullied and feels alone. "We really feel bad for her because we realize how hard it is for her to live like that," she says. "But she always does something about it, which is pretty good."
Oona, 10, agrees: "It's really cool having this role because it's almost like a magical way of telling a lesson."
All four say one of the biggest things they've had to work on is not the dancing or singing or acting but trying to stay in glum character and not smile even as hundreds of people in the theater erupt with laughter.
"It's hard and easy at the same time," says Bailey. "It's easy not noticing them but it's hard when they laugh because it makes you want to laugh, too. It's hard not smiling with them."

now it is possible to play , play station games on your pc using this simple emulator
By Frank Kanyua

Pcsx is an emulator which is used to replicate the exact features of a playstation on your computer. Now because the playstation has different parts and drivers which cannot be fit into a computer, the pcsx will just change a small part of you computer and trick it to think it is a play station, this will then enable it to be able to play ps games.
You will just need a playstation game and pad. After the ionstallation you will have to configure your computer manually, since there are iso files, specific roms and other parts needed. Just like there is a play station one, two and so on, Computers also differ.
It also doesnt support all games, but this can be changed if you have a good graphics card you will be able to play 99 out 100 games. The emulator always needs upgrade because with every new launch of a play station the cd and iso change, so upgrading it will ensure the ability to play new games. Most of the emulators dont come with bios files but that is not the case with pcsx. It comes fully built with every thing you need to quick start it, it also minimises the configurations neede so when you configure one part it automatically detects the best parts for that configuration..This is like when you breath in, the next responce is to breath out, that is what the pcsx automatic configuration do. Most if not all ps 2 games can be played with this emulator, some ps3 and ps 4 games also play. Sit back and wait for the upgrade.
ConclusionThis emulator saves you 100% of your cash since you dont have to buy a play station to use it, you dont need buy a new ps each and every time a new one is launched, you dont need to pay for the emulator since it is free of charge and very small to download.
- it is free to use
- configurations are easy to be made
- upgrades take some time to come out

You have the option to customize and choose your controller whether you're going to play it with the keyboard, mouse or even with PC USB controller, according to your selection. Graphics and sounds work depending on the specs of your PC. So if you're playing with a low-spec PC, graphic and sound quality would downgrade. I've been using this for several months now. Overall, this is a great tool for your PC. It feels good to go back to old games without having to use Play Station 1.
- ISO files and BIN files are supported
- PS1 and PSX features are perfectly the same
- Program is downloadable for free
- PSX Graphic depends on the specs of your PC, the higher specs you have, the higher quality you'll get

The PSX emulator is anew revolution in the gaming world.The program supports many playstation games.It can support both ps1,ps2 and ps3 games,all you need is to edit the settings.Basically if you have a computerand always dreaming of playing those playstation games,this is all you need,it will also save you loads of cash.Though you may wonder how can a simple program replace a real machine,well the psx doesnt actually replace the play station,it just emulates what the ps offers and transfers it to your pc.With new versions always being availed,the psx has worked in conjunction with the playstation makers to bring the experience closer and more cheaper.
The emulator is as easy to use as abc.Simply download it .If zipped,unzip then install it as it as admin.Configurations differ depending on the system and graphics in your pc..
1.Once you unzip.Click on the icon with the ps pad.
2.Now it will bring you to the configuration setup..click confg>>

4.now based on the graphics card(video)you have.choose Pete's OpenGL for nvidia cards,pete d3d for radeon cards and lewpy glide for other 3dfx cards..click next
5.configure sound as epsxe spu core 1.8.0.or based on the sound card you have,if you dont have one,scroll down untill you see no sound.click next
6.configure the rom.note cdr aspi is for win9x/me,cdr w2k/xp is for winxp or later...choose and click next
7.the control config supports digital,analog,dial shock and psx mouse pads.click the controller1 or 2 and conf it..you can also use the keyboard.click next ,if you are using a keyboard choose the letter for each action..once done click ok
8.you can also configure the memcards if you have one,but this is not a must.for the game will still play if you dont own the card..the card is only used to save the game..
9.insert the playstation disk or iso if you have an iso file stored,launch the epsxe and enjoy..
os both windows and linux and also android
pent 200mhz,recommend pent 3 at 1 Ghz or higher
rom 16x or faster
ram 256mb recommend 512mb
video card.3d capable with support for open gl,directx or glide
ARM or intel atom processor
android 2.2 or higher
CONCLUSIONBasically this is soething every gaming person should have installed.You can never get as much as is offered here,from the graphics it displays to the ram and hdd space it uses..

This is an early 18th century copper engraving map with hand coloring, titled "Landgraviatus Hassiae Inferioris nova Tabula, in qua praecique Ditiones Hasso-Casselense et Comitatus Waldeck cum insertis et vicinis alioru Statuum Praefecturis", by the noted cartographer Johann Baptist Homann. The area of Hessen in central Germany is depicted in fine geographical detail, and two cartouches include a hunting scene and putti holding up the "title". The map, measuring 18 3/4" by 22 1/2" (21 1/2" by 25" framed) is in presentable condition. There is a center fold which has some discoloration along it in the lower portion, and, also, the map is laid on a board. Over time some of the map has separated from that board, ballooning out, which accounts for the portion that seems to be coming out of the frame at center left. There is no glass.

Kalin's Sketchbook~Art Journey
Hi everyone,
I'm finally making a sketchbook here because I'm hoping it motivates me to draw & paint more as I have a strong desire inside to become a better artist! Becoming an illustrator is at the top of my list, but I also want to try concept art, and I enjoy 3D modeling too.
All honest critiques are welcome! I want to improve so don't hold back
Here are some NPC portraits that I've done for the game Eternal Lands...they get resized very small (50x50px) so I dont' have to be too concerned about details and getting them just right-that said I am using them as portrait practice and to get better at drawing and painting on the computer! I like to try out a lot of different styles/brushes in Photoshop/Painter and see what works best for me.
The first one is of a draegoni(a humanoid race with some "dragon blood" in them), And the other one is a gnome.

Here are 2 studies I did recently, 1 a value study, the other from Hogarth's Dynamic Figure Drawing-trying to get through the whole book as I really want to learn to draw full figures better:

Yuwon the gnome
Thank you Paulo!
Just finished this guy up. I tried painting a bit differently this time, I did the grayscale values first then layed in the colors using the color layer setting, etc.. I think it came out ok, and overall it was much easier to focus on painting only in shadows.
So here's the finished color, grayscale values, and the original pencil sketch:
January 2nd, 2011 #7
The last image you did, the technique you mentioned is a something that derives from classical art. It's called a "grisaille" super fun technique to use in oil.
From looking over at your images I think it would be great if you try out some different lighting situations with strong contrasts so that you can see forms more on the human form.
Keep up the good work!

hey kalin, really like that value study, nice textured style.
the last guy's face is cool too but something disturbes me with his throat, maybe its too long or too straight...and maybe a bit more shadow under the nose?

Thank you for the comments!
Allen-p: I actually never knew they did that in oils-they painted over it color to? Like a glazing? That's interesting, going to have to look that up. Yes I'll try to work more on lighting, thank you
daflom: Yeah you're right..I see it. I gotta work on necks more I think. That's a good one for a concentrated study, marking it on my to-do...

new wip
And a new wip image:
It's supposed to be a griffon, landing on a small branch which he's much to heavy for, not to mention griffons would probably have a lot of trouble sitting on a branch in the first place, but this is a silly griffon with a few screws loose :p As he's just landing he scares a few birds away that were in the tree. He's looking at them annoyed as if they should be in his tree.
This is kinda challenging to pull off, I'm trying to get the wings in the right poses(I have them as though he's off balanced in #2-3) and trying to show he's landing.
I wanted to have him looking at one of the birds, but I'm thinking that's messing up on the "landing" appearance, so I added #3 with his eyes downcast.
Can you guys give me some crits on which pic you think works better for this? I've been trying some variations and these were the ones I like best so far.

And here's a small piece I did yesterday evening in Photoshop, I call him a "cloud hopper" :p

when you make anatomy studies don't use a hogarth it's not a anatomy stuff He invent his own anatomy ;/
try more vilppu tutorials or hampton book

Thanks so much for the feedback, you've improved so much just from the few posts that youve made. You should be proud. Glad to see you thinking about the concepts before bringing them to life. A few small crits, hope you're still working on this piece I think cropping out the left side and opening more room towards the top of the tree might be nice, itll show the scale of the griffon well and you'll be able to make it more of the focus. Keep in mind that when people looks at pieces on art their eyes follow where you guide them, so composition is crucial! Cant wait to see progress, i could never paint lips like that out of my imagination. Lol

Thanks soo much for your help in my sketchbook. I didn't even think of doing more then one layer >.< Wow those eyes are great. About the griffin maybe the first panel could be him reaching out his talons to the branch with some tree wiggle motion lines and the birds looking at him curiously, then the second panel he could have landed and added weight to the branch and theres a crack/snap with the birds like "oh uh" wide eyed look, and finally the last one some quick feathered flaps so they dont fall. Hope it helps Im still learning composition

Kojot: I know Hogarth's stuff is stylized but I think it's good for learning the overall forms and shape of the whole figure, I'm not usually it for strict anatomy studies.
Jaunay & Wingal: Thank you! I haven't given up on it, just have been slow getting time to work on it. Have done more here and there and decided on the layout and the colors to add. I did actually play around with cropping out the left side and just sort of showing him in the tree with some other birds but I wasn't too crazy about how that looked. So I ended up putting him in a desert/canyon like environment..hopefully I'll be done soon with it. Here's the latest:

Those ear and eye studies are great :> Keep studying the ways shadows fall on people's faces and the way necks connect to the head. Right now your necks look less like flesh and more like thick poles.
Necks have such subtle muscles and can really add a sense of emotion to your character (whether they're angry and their neck muscles are popping out or whatever).
Here are some lovely examples.

Hola, great looking studies. I definitely think Dana_T has some solid advice. Think about breaking up those initial structural planes to add more lifelike variation. Color is solid. I would try adding a bit more range on your value scale here and there, try to punch out some darks and pop out some highlights. Good stuff, keep it up!

Here's a portrait of a pirate guy I just finished up. The head and parts of the shirt I used photo ref for, the hat I made up which you can probably tell..was having trouble getting the light to hit it all just right. But I did my best and am overall happy how it came out.
And here's a piece completely from imagination I did after watching the Zhanglu portrait video..it's one of my best so far I think!

Publisher's Description
Through exploring a variety of subjects including the myth of a "soul mate," the different ways men and women think, the conflicting levels of libido, and the necessity to forgive, Gungor proves that the key to marital bliss is not romance or destiny -- it's work and skill. Couples need to work hard at maintaining their relationship and to have the skills to pull it off. The longer spouses wait to learn these skills, the greater their chance of wanting to bail, yet Gungor makes it easy for couples to bring their relationship to the next level.

"Mark Gungor has a gift. His passionate message about marriage breaks through the current myths and misinformation in our culture and renews hope that anyone can experience a happy, sexy, satisfying marriage. Gungor is a national treasure. It's wonderful to see that he's as good on paper -- as immediate and as life-changing -- as he is in person at his Laugh Your Way seminars." -- Diane Sollee, founder and director of Smart Marriages
"Mark Gungor has all the credentials and experience to weigh in on the issue of marriage, but his street-level perspective and his tongue-in-cheek way of conveying his wisdom make it easy to absorb the truth that he shares on a subject that -- for many couples -- is no laughing matter." -- Dr. Tim Kimmel, president of Family Matters and author of Raising Kids for True Greatness

Mary Boleyn: The Mistress of Kings
by Alison Weir
Alison Weir attempts to present the facts and then gives us the probable conclusions as to what really happened. She is not afraid to bring up differing points of view and lists the source where it generated. I did well with the book until the end and then I have to admit I skimmed through summary of what happened to all the people mentioned. I was really only interested in the info on Mary and the end was getting tedious. I give this book a 4 out 5 stars.
Alison Weir never writes a bad book, as far as I can tell. This one suffers a little from the lack of available information about Mary Boleyn, but Weir still tells a good (true) story. If only more history were this well-written and accessible.
An analysis of the life and times of Mary Boleyn told through examination of contemporary documents, including diaries, government documents, letters, and paintings. Alison Weir has the ability to take a subject, thoroughly research it, and write about it so it comes across as a story and not a dry historical thesis. With Mary Boleyn, Weir definitely worked hard on compiling a life story from what little factual information is available; her hard work resulted in this book - one of the first factual based and complete stories of "the other Boleyn" girl. In this book Mary's story is told through established facts about her more famous sister, Anne and Henry VIII. Weir uses contemporary accounts to establish a basic timeline for Mary's life and fills in the blanks using Mary's remaining 2 handwritten letters and other diary accounts contemporary to the time; resulting in this biography of a woman thought to be one of Britain's most notorious woman. In reality, Mary was an older sister who lived her life in her charming younger sister's shadow and was fortunate enough to find love, be happily married, and outlive all her other siblings to die a natural death.
A compelling biography, Alison Weir outdid herself and has maintained her reputation as a one of the best British history writers of this age.
Slightly disapointed. Well written and entertaining, the only problem would seem to be that mary Boleyn did not have an exciting enough life to actually warrent this treatment. Theie weemed to be alot of what other people had said and how this was not true.
while I will read more alison weir - I will not bother about Mary Boleyn
Weir offers a historiographical/biographical treatment of Mary Boleyn, about whom so little is known for certain that it would hardly make a short pamphlet, let alone a book. But Weir's done well and picking through the historical detritus and telling us what is known, as well as busting lots and lots of myths.
That said, there is a huge amount of repetition in the book, which got old fairly quickly. And because of the paucity of reliable sources, Weir's forced to speculate or qualify practically everything she writes. And that rarely makes for a very pleasant or enjoyable read.

I play regularly with a former Div I player. 50% of the sets are 6-0, but I often squeak 1, and sometime 2 games in a set. I can often get to 3 or more games against good 4.0s. I never beat them, and I guess that's the point. Winning really is the acid test. Going 0-11 and getting bumped up is like a pro player being #1 in the world for two years without winning a major........and we know that never happens
Winning is the acid test, but too course grained to use as the only parameter in a rating algorithm. If you played against a large enough sample of players then it would work, but many players play just a limited number of matches each season that 'count' towards DNTRP.
Maybe some combination of the current method together with a sets won/lost type formula would work best, but nothing is going to be perfect.
At the end of the day, playing up greatly increases your chances of being bumped even if your results are mediocre, and really I have no problem with that. By playing up you are essentially representing yourself as being good enough to hang with those at the higher level, so there you go.

Hi guys,
Myself and Bravogolf are heading to brussels for some Belgian beer at the end of January. Not got a clue about the place, where to go, what to do, great pubs...we'll be there for 4 days, Thursday to Sunday.
What we're looking for, worldy-wise folk, is information about hotels, hints and tips, secret passages, special moves that sort of thing

I like how you start off with multiple options and explains each one as the skides progress. I also like the mixed media and ending it on a lighter note.
