Posted by George Colony on December 28, 2010
A year ago I posted my favorite things of 2009. Here's my top 10 for 2010.
1) London. I've spent my business life slogging in and out of this city, never stopping to really take a look or know anything about the place. My family and I spent six days there in March: it's clean, it's historic, the people are hospitable, the shows are great, the walking is easy. High point was passing by Geddy Lee, the lead singer for Rush, in Notting Hill. Stay at the Covent Garden Hotel if you've got the bucks -- understated, comfortable, centrally located, stuffy-hip.
2) iPad. It won't replace your laptop -- but I use it in all of my meetings to give me a continuous but unobtrusive window into the digital world. Best thing about it: battery life.
3) The movie The Social Network. Like all good art, critics and fans have interpreted this movie to represent the good and bad of our era. Here's my take: Yes, we are connected at unprecedented levels, but the moral content of those connections is declining. In other words, we can have many "friends," but we apparently have no obligation to do right by those friends. On a less serious note, I think it's cool that someone can still invent something in his or her dorm room that touches half a billion people...

OK -- shameless plug alert -- here's some fresh research from Forrester on social sigma. Social sigma is the use of digital feedback to improve products.
The boring graphic to the left shows that social is gaining traction on the product development front. Our most recent report, written for consumer product strategy professionals, will help your employees with the "how" of social sigma (which the report calls "co-creation"). It provides a social asset tracking scorecard and a social co-creation action plan to help your product strategists get started.

It's official: Yahoo is a media company. Microsoft is a technology company
When Tim Koogle ran Yahoo he was sure that Yahoo was a media company. He taught the company how to be a media company by creating Yahoo Directors and Yahoo Producers. He understood that his job was to capture an audience by entertaining them and make money by selling access to that audience to advertisers.
Terry Semel continued the same theme. Nearly all of Yahoo's technology came in through acquisition: Yahoo Store is ViaWeb. Yahoo Mail was RocketMail. Yahoo search is a combination of Inktomi for the organic search results and Overture for the bidding and inventory management system.
And then Yahoo lost its way, forgetting that they were never, at their heart, a technology company, even though they were founded by two Stanford Engineers, Jerry Yang and Dave Filo. They rebuilt their search technology and developed several in house social networking projects.
Microsoft, on the other hand, has typically built their core technology from scratch, with some notable exceptions like SQL server (a Sybase port) and Internet Explorer (Spyglass). And Microsoft is not a media company. Microsoft got its start by selling software that they wrote directly to customers. You won't find "Microsoft Producers" in the core Microsoft organization. Remember Ballmer screaming Developers, Developers, Developers? That is not a media company. Microsoft people are technology geeks at their core.
With the Microsoft/Yahoo deal announced today, Yahoo returns to its roots as a media company. Under the deal, Yahoo will use Microsoft Bing for search. They will essentially monetize their audience using Microsoft technology. Ad sales fall to Yahoo, which again makes sense because they are the media company, the company that understands the three pillars of any good media company: content, audience and advertisers.
And Microsoft can stop pretending to be a media company. They have been struggling to figure out how they can continue to exist as a software company when most software for the masses will be ad-supported and free. Do they have to learn how to sell to advertisers? Painful.
This is not the first time that Yahoo has been called upon to use their massive reach to build a technology king. Early on, Yahoo used Google's search technology on their site. We saw how that worked out.
The challenge for Yahoo? With the costs of developing search technology off their plate and Microsoft offering a whopping 88% of the search revenue to Yahoo for five years, Yahoo will be a awash in cash. Now they need to figure out, without the burden of having to build the technology, how to entertain that audience. And Carol Bartz is not a likely choice to run a successful media company. If she is smart, she will find a successor quickly and step aside, taking the credit for changing Yahoo's focus back to where it began.
The best proxy for running Yahoo is Disney. Build a diversified media company with a unique experience, including strong core values that run through all the properties. And buy the best technology and most creative people in the world to get it done. But rather than Disney, which monetizes mostly through premium fees, do it with advertisers.

Sri Lanka farmers speak out against seed law
Proposed act will hit small growers and biodiversity, they say
Small-scale farmers work their fields in Sri Lanka
ucanews.com reporter, Colombo
Sri Lanka
February 12, 2014
Civic rights groups and farmers yesterday called on the government to drop a proposed law regulating seeds and other planting material, saying it will badly impact farmers' rights and biodiversity. In addition, they claim it aims only to benefit large multinational firms.
Under the new law, all farmers would have to be registered and all seed and planting material such as fertilizers certified by a special office run by the Department of Agriculture. This would give the government the exclusive right to specify seed and planting material.
Farmers say this would undermine the rights of small-scale farmers who would be forced to buy seed from large multinational firms at higher prices. They also claim the large corporations will use the law to push genetically modified seeds such as Golden Rice - a special hybrid which its developers say is high in Vitamin A.
"This proposed act gives the right of seed varieties to monopolistic multinational firms and will increase the domination of multinational seed companies," said Chinthaka Rajapaksha, co-convener of the National Movement for Protection of Seed Rights, an umbrella organization of 700 agricultural rights groups.
"The government wants to discourage local use of natural methods and native productions in favor of GM seeds," he told farmers at a meeting yesterday at the Centre for Society and Religion in Colombo.
"The bill will give power to a special committee to raid farms in search of illegal seeds," he said, adding that this form of legislation has badly affected small scale famers in other parts of the world.
"We see a similar act is operational in India and farmers have continuously opposed it," he told the meeting.
But the government says the law will protect and conserve indigenous seed and planting material.
Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena, Minister of Agriculture told ucanews.com that the proposed law is to protect and regulate the quality of seed and planting materials to protect the rights of users.
However the farmers at yesterday's meeting said they would petition the agricultural minister and other government officials to protect farmers' rights to continue using their own seeds and fertilizers.
"We have small-scale seed banks which rural farmers have historically developed but the government wants to ban them by declaring them illegal," said Wanniarachchi Kankanamalage Edirisinghe, a farmer.
"Traditional famers have over 3,500 local seed varieties," he added. "The cost of GM seeds for example will be very high, making it difficult for small-scale farmers to survive.

March 23, 2009–Abu Dhabi execs have hired former Tribeca artistic director Peter Scarlet as executive director of the emirate's Middle East Film Festival. The two sides have been in discussions ever since Scarlet ankled his Tribeca post. The third edition of the Middle East Film Festival unspools Oct. 8-17.
Former Slamdance founder Jon Fitzgerald, who helped launch the Abu Dhabi fest in 2007, has not had his two year contract renewed by the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage, which backs the festival. Former exec director Nashwa al-Ruwaini will now take on an advisory role and join the fest's board.
Al-Ruwaini and chairman Mohammed Khalaf al-Mazrouei will continue to oversee the overall strategic direction of the Abu Dhabi fest.
Scarlet has been a supporter of Middle Eastern cinema. During his tenure at Tribeca, a number of pictures from the region were selected for the Gotham event.
The Middle East Film Festival has been a platform for Abu Dhabi's ambitions to become a global film player ever since it was unveiled at the 2007 Festival de Cannes.
Since then, the emirate also has launched a $1 billion production arm, Imagenation, and inked co-funding pacts with Participant Prods., Hyde Park Entertainment and National Geographic Films.
The Abu Dhabi fest continues to be one of the richest in the world. Last year's edition handed out more than $1 million in prize money. Scarlet's appointment continues the growing Middle East connection with American fests.
Tribeca inked a deal last year to launch a fest in the Gulf state of Qatar in November. Part of the mandate for former Sundance chief Geoff Gilmore, who joined the Gotham festival in a top exec post this February, will be to oversee the Qatar festival's development.

Oh and the model being roasted over the open fire.... she is called Peyton Knight and she is only 13 years old wasps so Steven Meisel really went for it with this editorial for W Magazine's September issue. Much to complain about here if you like to complain about things! I actually love it, very Pan's Labyrinth, and you can trust (even though you might find it all kinds of unfathomable and inappropriate) that miss Peyton Knight is going to book a lot of jobs now. Lots and lots. Also, she's going to grow very tall if her legs are already this long at the age of thirteen.

Tanzania Regulatory Authority (TCRA) Director General, John Nkomasays that he expects the number of mobile phone users in the country will jump by 25% to 13 million by the middle of next year.
"Hardly four years ago we were less than two million. Towards the middle of 2009, we should easily reach 13 million," he said.
The regulator awarded two additional licenses last week - to local firms, MyCell and Egotel for both landline and mobile services. Existing operator, Zain was also granted a licence to install an international gateway. There are now five companies licensed to offer international dialing services in the country.
According to figures from the Mobile World subscriber tracker, the country ended the first half of this year with just under 10.1 million customers - representing a population penetration level of 26%.

I'm looking for a family practice or pediatrician in the Kenai / Soldotna area. My 2 1/2 year old boy is unvaccinated. He was staying home with Dad, but now I have to find day care - soon- and I am trying to figure out my options. Do all day cares have to take kids with religious exemption? Anybody have good experience with open-minded doctors around here? I am open to some vaccines now that he is older, but do not want to be pressured by the pace or about waiting. Fraser Gonzalo, Terri Elliott, and Rita Kolycius are in my provider network. Any experience with these doctors.
Thanks for your help and support.
Dr. Paul D Raymond is also in my provider network.
We have the religious exemption. THey just need to have something in the file for when licensing come in.
Sue, mama to Spitfire (4/06) , a Firecracker (9/08) , and Chill baby (3/12)
Thanks. The religious exemption may be a good option.
I think Dr. Elliott has retired.
I have no experience with Dr. Fraser and I don't feel Dr. Kolycius resonated with my style.
Surprisingly, I really like Dr. Anderson though I hear that he gives parents a lot of grief about non-vax. I simply have never discussed our vax choices with him. He is pretty direct and blunt and I am ok with that.
Dr. Russell is an excellent pediatrician. He has his own opinions with vax. Pro-vax for the most part but is really respectful of parental choices.
Dr. Fraser is decent. I'd see if Dr. Perez of southcentral family practice is covered though... He's amazing and although he supports vaccination, he's very respectful.
I refuse to be sliced again and I'm documenting my efforts not to be.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hello timt,
On a trade in, the full sales price of the car before trade in allowance is a credit to sales. The trade in allowance is a debit to inventory. The actual net price is debit to cash account.
I am not sure what you mean by "planned inventory". At year end, actual inventory on hand should be used in calculating cost of goods sold.
If this was helpful please press the Accept button. Positive feedback is also appreciated.
Thank you.
The other part of my question is about the inventory that is floor planned, which is purchased through a line of credit. should that be included in year end inventory?
Hello again timt,
The only inventory that should be included in year end figures is actual inventory on hand.
If there has been a prepayment made for inventory not yet received, that should be posted to a prepaid inventory account, separate from actual inventory on hand.
As an example, say they sold a car for $10,000 with no trade in. Your entry is $10,000 sales and $10,000 to cash. If they allowed a trade in for $2,000 on a car, they still have a $10,000 sale, but now also a $2,000 purchase and the balance is cash paid.
As far as the inventory situation, if they have brought in cars using a line of credit, then if the cars are actually on their lot at year end they are included in the inventory. It is just listed as a debit to assets and a credit to A/Payable.

Dennis Rodman Has Meltdown on CNN, Defends Friendship with N. Korean Dictator Kim Jong-un
Posted on January 7, 2014CNN's Chris Cuomo interviewed Dennis Rodman and former NBA players who are in North Korea to play a basketball game for Kim Jong-un's birthday. The trip is not approved by the U.S. State Department, which is pretty unhappy with Rodman's forays into international diplomacy with a country which is notorious for human rights violations. Former New York Knicks forward Charles Smith was eloquent and kept his temper -- he says the game is all about "basketball diplomacy": they are there to put smiles on the faces of individuals. He says they are not there for politics. When CNN's Chris Cuomo challenges Smith, saying that the issue is more complicated than just playing basketball. Cuomo says the game is a birthday present to Kim Jung-un and Americans are concerned about giving a birthday present to a despot who just had his uncle executed and who has held U.S. citizen and missionary Kenneth Bae in prison for a year.
At about the 4:32 mark Cuomo asks Rodman if he will speak up for Bae who is ill and whose family is begging the North Korean government for his release. Rodman got pretty fired up at this part saying that Cuomo has no idea what Bae did, although he never elaborated (some reports say North Korea has accused Bae of trying to topple the government with his missionary work). Rodman got began yelling, "I don't give a rat's ass what you think!" and it degenerated from there. Rodman referred to Kim Jong-Il as his friend and defended his actions in executing his uncle by reminding Cuomo that the dictator is only 31 years old. Cuomo responded, "He could be 31, or he could be 51. He just killed his uncle, and he is holding an American hostage. The family is desperate for his return." Rodman really should let Smith do all the talking from now on.
The NBA apparently was horrified by Rodman's declaration of love and close friendship with the South Korean dictator and issued this statement by NBA Commissioner David Stern: "The NBA is not involved with Mr. Rodman's North Korea trip and would not participate or support such a venture without the approval of the U.S. State Department. Although sports in many instances can be helpful in bridging cultural divides, this is not one of them." Take a look:

Bonding Fiberglass To Metal
Does anybody know how to get in touch with the guy who did the Dragon project that is posted on the sight? In his project history and pictures he makes a brief comment about how he joined fiberglass to metal with success. Or, can anybody tell me the process? I have an idea for my '32 Pro Street which will require a metal to fiberglass bonding process be employed.
Thanks in advance for any assistance that can be provided :cool:
Don't know who you are looking for but bonding glass to metal is pretty standard practice. What is the exact project you are doing?
Corvettes used a simple "panel adhesive" to bond door skins and body panels to the metal structure.
Bonding Fiberglass To Metal
I am considering mounting my pro street air scoop that presently sits on top of the carburetor to the top of the hood so that the two look like one piece. I want to fab the scoop in however so that it is functional, ie hole in the hood to let the air through. I am then going to duct from the underside of the scoop directly into the carburetor. :mwink:
I need to know how to bond fiberglass to metal myself. my '67 Falcon had/ has 1 rotten out rear wheel well, nobody makes repo 1/4's for it, and a original will cost 3-600 from a place like desert valley or memory lane, so I got out some renyolds release tin foil, duct taped it neatly to my other side 1/4 panal ( is still in tact but marginilly rough ), got out some fiberglass putty and fiberglass cloth, carfully laid it over the tin foil, and puttied it up good, and let it dry, I now have a fiberglass patch panal ( reversed but it will work for a driver ) that I don't know how to attach, it lines up and fits ok, but I don't know how I should attach it, I was thinking scuff the metal mating surface and use my fiberglass putty over it, then stick it on and let it dry, but I want to make shure it will hold. ideas please?
Do a search for fiberglass scoop install, this was brought up and hashed out awhile back. I can type up the proceedure but it would take awhile. Fusor makes and excellent adhesive for this but the part also needs to be blended in with mat and resin, fillers, and primer. Bob
Bonding Fiberglass To Metal
Thank you for the direction Baddbob. I will do the search that you are suggesting. If nothing else such an activity will help me to learn how to take full advantage of this website. :cool:

The 'Twilight' Mystique: Critical Essays on the Novels and Films… (original 2011; edition 2010)
by Amy M. Clarke, Marijane Osborn (Editor)
Work details
The Twilight Mystique: Critical Essays on the Novels and Films by Amy M. Clarke (2011)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I received this book for free through the LibraryThing Early Reviewers program.
The essay was well-documented, included Pacific NW Native myths, and compared Meyer's work with those myths - from a non-Native perspective. This essay was disappointing for that reason, that it was not written from a Native perspective, which would have addressed the series academically and included the Indigenous viewpoint to specifically address appropriation issues and the attempts of non-Native authors to write about Native peoples. The omission of this element is glaring to any scholar in modern anthropology or Native American studies. Certainly there are enough Native academics who could have participated and infused a more rigorous analysis.
Most of the other essays were descriptive rather than critical. The book included table of contents, preface and introduction, annotated list of authors, index, bibliography, and annotated notes at the end of each chapter. The essays in this book might be useful for undergraduates, but not for graduate-level work.
I am going to ask my library to order this book for its shelves --- and the next time my students want to do a literary analysis of Meyer's books (I have always said no!) I will require them to read The Twilight Mystique first.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0786449985, Paperback)The 13 essays in this volume explore Stephenie Meyer's wildly popular Twilight series in the contexts of literature, religion, fairy tales, film, and the gothic. Several examine Meyer's emphasis on abstinence, considering how, why, and if the author's Mormon faith has influenced the series' worldview. Others look at fan involvement in the Twilight world, focusing on how the series' avid following has led to an economic transformation in Forks, Washington, the real town where the fictional series is set. Other topics include Meyer's use of Quileute shape-shifting legends, Twilight's literary heritage and its frequent references to classic works of literature, and the series' controversial depictions of femininity.

Windows System Requirements for the PlayStation Emulator
Any modern machine with a decent graphics card should have no problems with the emulator.
Unless you have an old computer, you should be able to run the emulator. If your system barely runs Windows XP, and / or does not meet the minimum requirements outlined below, you should not attempt to run the PSP Emulator. At best, it won't work. At worst, it could overheat your system, damaging components, and potentially costing you money.
These are the minimum specifications to run the PPSSPP Emulator (higher specifications means your system will run the PSP Emulator better):
- Processor: Any Dual-Core CPU, or a Single-Core CPU of at least 2.0GHz
- Memory: 2GB RAM (more is better)
- Hard Drive: 5GB minimum free disk space (for application and ROM storage)
- The more games you have, the more Hard Drive space you will need
- Video: 256MB Stand Alone Graphics Card (note that some built-in GPUs may work too)
- Operating System: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
To find out your system's properties:
- Press the Start button.
- Right-click on "Computer."
- Select "Properties."
Software Requirements for Running the PSP Emulator
You might need a few extra programs to install PPSSPP.
Depending on your system and the version of Windows you are running, you may need some extra applications, drivers, or files to get your PPSSPP Emulator installed and working. Usually it's best to do a quick check to see if you already have these programs before you start. This is especially true for those of you who might not always have the best internet connectivity.
A PlayStation Controller or an Adapter can make some games more fun to play.
Make sure you download the correct version for your computer. This is dependent on whether your version of the Windows Operating System is x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit). If you're not sure how to check this, it's covered in the Questions and Answers section of this guide.
You will need:
- A file extractor, such as 7-Zip or WinRar.
- The latest version of the PPSSPP Emulator.
- Microsoft's Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 (supports from version '0.9.7' of the PSP Emulator, up to the latest version).
- If you are running an older install of the PPSSPP Emulator, and are on an x86 (32-bit) system, you should instead install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86).
- If you are running an older install of the PPSSPP Emulator, and are on an x64 (64-bit) system, you should instead install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64).
- The latest version of Microsoft DirectX that your PC supports. Note that this is dependent on a combination of factors from your system hardware and Operating System. Thus, it can vary from system to system, but should be installed with Windows Update, explained in step 4 of this section of our guide.
- PSP ROMs (ISO). These are the games you will play, and there are many different sites they can be downloaded from, such as Emu Paradise - Old School ROMs.
Note that in rare cases you may also need to install one or more .dll files to make your PPSSPP Emulator work. That is discussed in our section on How to Fix Missing DLL Files in your PSP Emulator
How to Download and Install the PPSSPP Emulator
Here's how to install and play your first PlayStation game on your Windows PC.
This section is the main part of this guide. It walks you through every step of installing the PPSSPP PSP Emulator, including installing and playing your first game.
- We've also made a Video Guide of this process. Just keep in mind that VisiHow is constantly being updated, and written instructions are usually more up to date than video.
For example, the steps below cover both the legacy build, and the newer self-installing builds in Version 0.9.8, which require Visual Studio 2013.
Follow these steps to download and install the PPSSPP Emulator:
- 1We recommend 7-Zip, because it's a free open source application capable of extracting almost all other zip formats. We will use this application to extract the PPSSPP Emulator, and to extract your first PSP Game ISO.If you haven't already done so, download and install a zip file extractor.
- 2
- 3Note that we recommend always using the latest build, as linked above in Step 3.Now download the PPSSPP Emulator Installer, which will guide you through the steps to install the application.
- If you prefer to install it yourself onto your 32-bit (x86) operating system, you can download the x86 build here.
- If you prefer to install it yourself onto your 64-bit (x64) operating system, you can download the x64 build here.
- 4
- 5To do that, right click the PPSSPP zip file and select 'Extract files'.
- 6
- 7
- 8You can download them here: PSP ISOs. Use the letters to browse the game that you want. In this tutorial I will download Tekken Dark Resurrection. Click the letter 'T'.Minimize the PPSSPP folder and download ROMs or games.
- 9
- 10
- 11
- 12
- 13
- 14
- 15
- 16
- 17To play the game, go to the PPSSPP folder again
- 18
- 19If you have a PlayStation or Xbox controller for your PC, now is the time to connect it.
- 20Load the game by clicking 'Load' on the main screen of the PSP Emulator.
- 21
- 22
- 23
Although we extracted all our files to Desktop, we recommend creating a separate folder for each game. This will help you keep things organized, and know which files go with which games, for when you're done with a game and want to delete it from your computer.
How to Map Keyboard Controls in PPSSPP
Want to change the way your keyboard interacts with the PlayStation Emulator? No problem.
It's very easy to update your keyboard controls to almost anything need, just follow these steps:
- 1During the game, hit the 'Esc' key to access the screen menu.

How do I Fix Problems with My PPSSPP So I Can Play
I can't play! What can I do to fix my PSP Emulator so I can play?
You've followed all of the steps in this guide, have the system requirements, and yet still can't get your PPSSPP Emulator to work. No problem. You've probably just encountered one of several simple problems that can be easily fixed.
My PPSSPP software always closes.
If you have this problem, you're probably not right clicking the PPSSPP file icon, and selecting 'Run as Administrator.' Try that, and see if it helps. If you don't select 'Run as Administrator', the application will close immediately after you open it.
I'm running as an Administrator, and my PPSSPP software still always closes.
If you're experiencing this problem, then you've accidentally installed the wrong version of the software for your operating system. To get the correct version, use one of these two links:
- 1
- 2
How can I tell if my operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit?
If you need help telling what version of Windows you are running, just follow these steps.
- 1Click on your 'Start Menu'.
- 2Go to 'Control Panel'.
- 3Go to 'System maintenance'.
- 4Click on 'System'.
- 5Under system, look for the system type.
- 6You will see if it is 32bit (or x86), or 64bit (x64) Windows.
My game is still closing, what can I do?
In this case, you could have problems due to DirectX, or it could be due to another issue. To get started correcting it, make sure your version of DirectX is up to date, with Microsoft Automatic Updates.
- 1Click 'Start' and go to the control panel.
- 2Click 'System', then click the automatic update tab.
- 3Go to 'Performance and Maintenance'.
- 4Click 'System'.
- 5Click the automatic update tab.
- 6Select the option that you want to update.
After using Windows Update, I still can't get my PPSSPP Emulator to load.
In this case, you need to take the following steps:
- 1Visit this link to the PPSSPP Downloads Page, and make sure you are running the most recent version of the PPSSPP Emulator, by downloading and running the 'Windows Installer'.
- 2
I am running an older version of the PPSSPP Emulator, but I don't want to upgrade - what do I do?
In this case, you will need to download and install the VC 2010 Redistributable Package.
- 1
- 2Click 'Download'.
- 3Click 'No Thanks', and 'Continue'.
- 4Install 'VC2010 Redist'.
I still have problems with my install on Windows 7 and / or Windows 8 64-bit Operating System.
In this case, you can try to downgrade your PSP Emulator.
- 1Download and install one of the old 64-bit emulator builds, and downgrade your version of the PPSSPP PlayStation Emulator.
How to Fix DLL Problems in the PPSSPP Emulator
I keep getting a message that I am missing the 'MSVCP100.dll' and / or 'MSVCR100.dll' files.
If you have already followed the steps above to update your PPSSPP Emulator to the latest version, and have also updated your VC 2013 Runtime, you can try to install new DLL files. Alternatively, if you're running a legacy version of the PSP Emulator, these steps will still work for you.
Please note that these steps are exactly the same for each of the two DLL files you'll be downloading (MSVCP100.dll' and 'MSVCR100.dll'), so we've only provided the instructions once. Simply repeat them for the second file, substituting the name. You can also use these steps to troubleshoot 'MSVCP120.dll' difficulties.
- 1Visit the DLL Flies Download site, and click 'M' at the bottom of the page.
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
- 6Extract the ZIP file into your computer directory.
- 7Right click on the DLL file, and select 'Copy', or press 'Ctrl + C' on your keyboard.
- 8Go to 'My Computer', and open drive 'C:', or whichever drive you installed your copy of Windows.
- 9Open the 'Windows' folder.
- 10Look for 'System 32' and 'System' folders.
- 11Paste 'MSVCP100.dll' and 'MSVCR100.dll' into the 'System 32' and 'System' folders.
- 12Please let us know if they do not, and remember to provide detail on your system, and the version of the PPSSPP emulator that you're using.These steps should fix your DLL problems.
How to Upgrade your PSP Emulator to PPSSPP Gold
Why would I pay for something that's free?
PPSSPP Gold is almost exactly the same application as PPSSPP (without the gold), the only differences are the icon, and lifetime rights to download PPSSPP Gold on Windows. You also get a gold account on the site, and the ability to access Gold versions on other platforms in the future. Of course, the developers who code it didn't have to write the code for free, so if you have a few dollars to send their way, why not?
Even though it isn't free, it's also not expensive. In fact, you can choose how much or how little you'd like to donate, starting from as little as $2, all the way up to $50. All you need is a PayPal account, or a card that PayPal can process, and you can make a donation to the developers. Here is the current price list (note that this is subject to change):
So, if you want to say thanks to the developers in the form of a contribution, just follow these steps:
- 1
- 2Note that all donations give the exact same reward, so you can donate as much or as little as you'd like to.Select the amount that you want to donate.
- 3
- 4After your donation payment has been processed, you will be redirected to the download page, where you can download PPSSPP Gold.
- You should also receive an email with your receipt and a link to the download page.

How to insert game-pad on PSP emulator?
To use your game pad with a PSP emulator, plug it in to connect it to your PC, and it should work since the latest version of PPSSPP supports XInput and DInput devices. If you find a problem with the controller you are trying to use, you can download applications like Xpadder, Motioninjoy for PS3 controller, or x360ce for Xbox 360 controller emulator.
If this does not work then you should download the latest build of PPSSPP that supports your controller here http://buildbot.orphis.net/ppsspp/
You can use your PSP as a game pad for your PC, as well. To use your PSP as a controller, you will need to:
- Connect your PSP to the computer using the USB cable.
- When you plug in your PSP to the computer, an AutoPlay window will appear with the destination folder of your PSP; memorize it well or write it down.
- Download FuSa Game-pad and run it to open the installer, which will have instructions on what to do as well.
- Browse for the destination folder of your PSP, then click Install.
- After it's done installing, and while your PSP is connected to the computer, open the Game folder on your PSP, and then select Memory Stick. It will show you "Connecting" for a while, then it will say "Connected" when it connects to the PC.
- Open your emulator, select Options, and then click on Plugins. In the controller's search for your PSP plugin, it could be under the name of PSP Type D, Joystick, or anything else (other than Controller, Keyboard, or Mouse).
- Save the changes you made by clicking OK, and you will be able to set your PSP as a controller for the player you choose. Afterwards, you will be able to configure it the way you want.

There is no such file like a Tekken, except there is a system information file. What should I do?
You seem to have an incomplete or interrupted download. Download the ROM file again, this time making sure that your download is completed. Perform the same steps as indicated above and you should have the file on your computer.
Make sure when you're backing up your original PSP games the file format you use is in ISO or CSO. The PPSSPP emulator will only read those formats.
To make backups of your games, your PSP must be running a custom firmware. Here's a tutorial on how to install the custom firmware as well as making ISO backups.

If you installed the latest 0.9.7 release of PPSSPP for windows, you will also need to install Microsoft's visual c++ runtime dll package. You can read the PPSSPP release info here:

I am trying to play naruto heroes on my PC via PPSSPP emulator but only I can hear is audio.I cannot see the video please can you help me
Have you tried checking if your system meets the requirements for the emulator? You will need:
- PC with a single core CPU of at least 2.0GHz or higher
- 256MB graphic card or higher (It may work on a built-in GPU)
- 2 GB RAM or higher
If you meet the requirements above then the problem might be with in the game. The file you downloaded may be corrupted or incomplete. Try playing on a different computer. If it still doesn't work, it's not an issue with your system. Also try to update your Drivers such as VGA and AUDIO. You can try to go to settings or configuration menu and look for the video rendering option and change the settings there. Now, you can also try to upgrade your video drivers and install the latest DXdiag run time.

How to connect in multiplayer mode through wireless LAN in dragon ball z shin bodukai?
I'm using a PSP Emulator from my Android phone.it doesn't connect to network battle mode even I keep my WiFi on [Grimm: I don't understand the 2nd part enough to be able to edit it properly!]
Unfortunately the PSP emulator does not support WLAN function at the moment. The PPSSPP emulator only supports Ad hoc connections that means your co-players must be in a close range.
In order to connect it, you must actually create an ad hoc server using your server. Now, after setting up the Ad hoc network, connect your PSP in that connection but you must first enable CWM in your PSP. This process is quite complicated. But if you really wish to try, there are things you need to create. Ad hoc server, enable CWM to clock work mode in your PSP and set the IP on both of your computer and PSP and then connect it.

How to put a Game on PPSSPP On PC
There are two ways you can get the games from your PSP collection to your PC. If you own the digital downloads of your PSP games, simply copy the eboot.pbp file over from PSP to PC.
The other way will involve installing a custom firmware on your PSP. Check out the video here on how to do this:
Once you have this done, you'll need to extract the PSP game to your PC.
- Insert the game disc into your PSP and connect the PSP to your PC with the USB cable.
- At the menu, select "UMD as USB device" and choose "USB Connection" in the settings.
- On your PC, a folder will pop up with a virtual ISO file. Just drag this file to your C drive and the copy process will start.
That's all you need to do!

Sometimes the compressed file doesn't have the *.RAR file and it is divided into multiple compressed files like *.R00, *.R01, *.R02, and so on. If that is the case, you will need to extract the files in order, starting from the *.R00 file (or R01 - which ever has the least index number on its extension). You can also select all the files and extract them together - WinRAR or 7-Zip will do the rest.

It appears that demos do not work well on PSP emulators. If you have the proper PSP emulator version and all is working properly other than the demo, try using a normal full game ROM. You can find them here http://www.emuparadise.me/Sony_Playstation_Portable_ISOs/44

I downloaded the zip file for the installer of the PPSSPP, however, I don't see .rar file after the extraction
You do not need to see a .rar file after extracting. Instead, you should only have to extract one time, then move the game file you get into the folder where you keep your games. All you need to do after that is open the game through PPSSPP.
See more questions like this: I really need help with extracting GTA
I have the game extracted on the computer but when I placed the game to the C: Drive, the game is not being detected. What can I do
It sounds like the emulator's game directory path is not set to the right folder. To fix this, launch the emulator and follow the steps below:
- Go to the Games Tab, then left click it to open Options.
- Click the Browse button. A new window should pop up.
- Navigate to the folder where you put your games and select it. If they are set to your Drive C: then click the Computer then the Local Disk C: and look for the folder where you placed all of the ISO.
Another way to set the directory is by going to the File Tab on screen then click Open Directory or Open from MS:. Either way, select the directory where you put your games.
See more questions like this: Tekken 6 is not working on my PPSSPP controller
I tried to go to the website to download the PPSSPP emulator but I can't download the installer. What can I do?
Try using a different browser like Firefox, Opera, or Internet Explorer. If you are still having trouble, you can try downloading the install file from a different computer, onto a Thumb Drive (USB). That way you will be able to transfer the file to the computer where you want it.
Once you have downloaded the file from another computer, then move it to your computer and simply copy and paste it then extract and install. Once it has been installed, all you need to download are the games for you to run it on the PPSSPP emulator.

I have a Windows XP computer, how to install and how to run games?
[DELETE? Seems unnecessary, it's repeating the main article. I edited it anyway just in case]
Before you begin the installation process, make sure that your computer meets the minimum requirements for the program to install and run properly on your Windows XP computer:
CPU with at least a 2.0GHz or even higher Graphics card of 256MB or higher RAM of 2GB or Higher At least 500MB for the program or higher for your games
If your computer meets the requirements, follow these steps:
- Visit http://www.ppsspp.org/downloads.html and download the program to the folder of your choices on your computer.
- If the file is in a .rar or .zip folder, right click on it and choose "extract here" (or select the destination you want). You will need an unzipping program like 7-Zip or WinRAR to do this. You can get WinRAR free at this link: http://www.win-rar.com/download.html?&L=0
- Look for the PPSSPP folder and open it. Double click on the PPSSPPWindows for 32bit, and PPSSPPWindows64 for 64bit (you can check which one you are running by right clicking on "My Computer" and selecting "Properties").
Now all you need to do is set a directory where the emulator can find your games. Download some ROMs and put them into one folder. Once you set the directory to this folder, the program will automatically scan it for new games and add them to the games tab.
To set a directory, simply click on the Games tab, choose Browse, and look for the folder where you placed your games.

Above all said are my problems
Unfortunately, some ROMs have problems and will hang. This is dependent on the ROM, but trying another one, or updating to the latest PPSSPP can help fix this.

When I open PPSSPP it gives an error that current driver doesn't support opengl 2.0
If you get this error, it may mean you need to get a new video card. Your current video card may simply not be current enough to run PPSSPP.
You can also try updating your drivers, though this is not guaranteed to fix the issue. To do this:
- Click on Start, then Control Panel.
- Select Device Manager.
- Click on Display Adapters.
- Right click on the video card listed and select "Update Driver Software."
- Choose to search automatically for driver updates.
- Restart your computer when the process is finished.

/// Connect with those you lead
You've got your urgent to-do list in mind, and someone comes up to you and wants to chat. It can be an irritating interruption – or a chance to switch gears for a moment, really connect, and then move on.
Which way you go can have major implications for how you lead. If you always see the other person as a bother, and never stop to connect, that may be a clue you are caught in a counter-productive mode. Call it "duty-bound."
Or, say, you're on a tight deadline for a project, and someone you're counting on for part of it makes a less-than-perfect contribution. That's disappointing, for sure. But how do you react? Do you think about what it would take to help that person get up to speed in the future? Or do you focus in on what was wrong, and dismiss that person as a failure – someone you can no longer count on?
If you only ever do the latter, zeroing in on people's flaws rather than their potential, you're acting like a perfectionist.
These cases came up last weekend in a workshop I gave with my wife, Tara Bennett-Goleman. Those leadership examples were offered up by a coach – she calls herself an "organizational therapist" – who said "It really helps to have a name for these patterns. Then you know where to focus in coaching."
The diagnostic labels for these patterns are called "modes" in Tara's book Mind Whispering. While we're in the "duty-bound" mode we focus on getting tasks done and ignore the people around us. That can be productive in the short-term, but if you are a leader and you are too rigid in this, you will fail to connect with those you lead. And it is only by connecting that you can guide, inspire, listen, communicate, motivate or influence – in other words, lead.
In the "perfectionist" mode you fixate on people's failings. Perfectionist leaders only give failing grades – they never praise good performance. Research on leadership styles finds perfectionists (sometimes called "pacesetters") have a negative impact on their direct reports' emotional state and performance.
The good news: modes can change. Coaches can help guide this change, and leaders who are highly motivated to improve can do so on their own.
Tara spells out the steps of what she calls "mindful habit change" in her book Mind Whispering: A New Map to Freedom from Self-Defeating Emotional Habits.

November 10, 2010
Despite being one of the season's biggest surprises, Philadelphia Flyers rookie goalie Sergei Bobrovsky(notes) didn't just materialize out of thin air.
Bobrovsky, 22, came to North America after playing out his five-year professional contract with Metallurg from the Russian city of Novokuznetsk. He was determined to make the Flyers in the preseason, which he did; and now, he's the NHL's top rookie goalie in GAA (2.19) and save percentage (.926), with an 8-2-1 record that ranks right behind Michal Neuvirth(notes) of the Washington Capitals among NHL freshmen.
Most importantly, Bobrovsky has given the Flyers stability in goal, allowing them to reach the top of their division. Chris Pronger(notes) told reporters recently: "He's definitely proven every guy in here a believer, that's for sure."
Bobrovsky's reply, via Philly.com:
"I honestly try not to think about it, the only thing I try to think about is playing, because that's the only thing that matters, not words. But at the same time when a big-name player like Pronger says something like this, of course it makes me feel good."
I spoke with "Bob" last night about a number of topics, from his battle to be the best NHL rookie to his battle to be the Flyers' No. 1 goalie to the challenges in playing in North America vs. Russia. Oh, and Pronger, too.
You're a Russian playing in Philadelphia for the Flyers. That's something unheard of. And on top of that, you're actually pretty good.
BOBROVSKY: [Laughing] I know the history of the club. Every Russian person in Philadelphia who spoke to me told me that they were shocked that there were now Russian speakers playing for the Flyers. I have heard a lot about that.
It's not that there were no Russian players in Philadelphia, they just weren't very successful with the Flyers.
I don't think it's because they were not liked there, but something must not have worked out. I think it is too early to pass any kind of judgments regarding me. I am just too new to the organization. Let's wait until the end of the season and then we can say whether I will have made it or not. I just don't think it's appropriate to say anything after having played only about 10 games here. I just need to keep working and working and keeping that bar set high, try to win every game I play in.
You were undrafted.
Did you ever expect to play in the NHL?
Yes, I was never drafted in the NHL. To be honest, if I go back even a year, I couldn't even imagine that this would happen to me. Playing in the NHL was in my thoughts, in my goals, in my head. I kept thinking that I had to get there, I had to keep working, keep trying. But I just couldn't imagine that a possibility of playing in the NHL would arise.
And how did it eventually happen?
I don't even know how it all happened, to be honest. Towards the end of the last season I was playing for the [Metallurg Novokuznetsk] junior team and we were playing away at Krilya Sovetov. I pulled my back and wasn't playing in that game, watching it from the stands. And that's where I was approached by a scout from Philadelphia who told me that there was an interest in me. That's how it all started. But all of the communications after that were done through my agent. I didn't fill my head with thoughts about it.
How did you feel when you decided to come to the NHL? Was there a lot of pressure?
I didn't actually feel any pressure, even though everyone around me kept telling me '[you're going] to the farm team, only the farm team.' But I kept telling myself all the time that it was going to be extremely difficult, that I would have to suck it up, that it was going to be tough. I always kept those thoughts in my head. I was trying to prepare myself psychologically. Maybe that's the reason that I don't feel that it's all that difficult for me.
Everyone kept telling me that at first you are very homesick, that it's very difficult. And I don't have that. I feel absolutely normal here. All the guys here welcomed me with such warmth. Everyone's been very kind to me in the locker room. It is a pleasure to work here, to play for this team. I don't know what else to add.
Did you talk to anyone about the NHL before you came over? Maybe a former player?
Not really. No one gave me any advice as to what to do and
what not to do. I just read certain things, heard some rumors as to what the
rules are. My agent told me a lot. But I didn't really have all the information
as far as what to expect.
When you came to Philadelphia the media touted you as the next big thing, the next big goaltender for the Flyers. Did you feel the weight of expectations?
I don't pay any attention to that. During the season I try not to read anything at all, especially the media, especially what's written about me. I try to draw my attention away from hockey when I have free time and just socialize, use the Internet. I try not to read any sports, hockey news. Because if it's always hockey, hockey and more hockey all the time, it's not good. That's the reason I don't feel any pressure. I simply don't read what's written about me.
A lot of good things are written about you.
Really? Well, that's good then! [Laughing]
What type of a goalie are you?
I wouldn't say that I am a 100 percent butterfly goalie. I am a hybrid.
Maybe you try to mimic someone else, another goaltender?
No, I don't. Maybe when I was a very young boy I had an idol - Martin Brodeur(notes). But when I seriously started playing hockey I had no idols. I watched every goaltender I could, watch their game to figure out the best I could adopt from them. Every hockey goaltender has his own style, his own vision of how to play hockey. You just create your own style and make it fit for yourself. So, I wouldn't say that I am similar to any other goaltender.
Hockey in the NHL is a lot different from the KHL. You face a lot of shots from every angle, you have to be ready all the time. How tired are you after games? Does it take a lot to recover?
Actually the Flyers' defense is very, very decent. It happens a lot when you don't face a ton of shots. We had a few games when I had to face 20 or less shots. It's not always there are 30-40 shots. Our defensemen help me out a lot. But it doesn't matter how many shots you face. You always have to concentrate, you always have to be ready to catch that puck. If you are facing 20 shots, then you have to catch all 20. If it's 30, then you have to stop all 30.
As far as recovery... It's difficult to say because you have such an intense schedule on one hand, and on the other the level of organization is so high that you don't even think about anything other than hockey, when to sleep and what to eat. You don't face any other problems of every day life or problems with equipment. The club takes care of everything.
Do you remember your feelings when you played your first regular season game against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Consol Energy Center?
To be honest I felt pretty comfortable in that first regular season game. The most nervous and intense game for me was the third period against the New Jersey Devils when I came out from the bench.
Back then, I didn't know what to expect from the league. Everything seemed so new around me: the atmosphere, the fans, the locker rooms. It felt like I was in another world. It was like I fell from the Moon. And then with every moment, with every day I started becoming more familiar with things. I started understanding what is what here, what the rules are, how certain things are looked at. And in that game against the Penguins I felt more or less myself.
There were no thoughts like 'Here comes Sidney Crosby(notes) skating against me?'
No, I had no thoughts like that. I will tell you more, you shouldn't have any thoughts like that. It can get in the way of making saves if you start thinking about players you face. I actually love playing against very good, strong players. Only when you face players like that, the best players in the world, will you be able to grow as a goaltender. When you play against the best players you get a chance to find out how good you are, what you're made of, what your strengths and weaknesses are. That's why I wasn't nervous playing against the Penguins on the opening nights. My knees weren't trembling. It was very interesting."
What was the most difficult team you have faced so far this season?
I don't think I can even tell you right now. You see, regardless of where a team is in the standings, all of them are very good. They play, battle hard. It's not like you're just standing around, freezing yourself out there against someone. Every team shoots pucks at you. There are always moments against any team when I have to be at my best. That's why I cannot tell you what the most difficult game has been for me. I can tell you that there weren't any easy ones. I had to earn every win."
The season only started but you have been playing very well. Do you think you have established yourself as the No. 1 in Philadelphia? Or at least as one of the starters?
No, I don't think so. And I don't think it's even appropriate to think this way. You have to prove in every game that your good play in the previous game was not just a fluke. You play a good game, and then it's history. You have to prove yourself again. People can talk about the past, but no one can predict the future. No one knows how you're going to play next. With every game you have to move forward. You played well yesterday, well, today is a new game and it doesn't matter how you played yesterday. Prove yourself again. Prove that it was the right decision to trust you to be the starter again.
How ready are you to fight for the No. 1 starter when Michael Leighton(notes) comes back from his injury? He was the goalie for the Flyers in the Stanley Cup finals last year.
Of course I am ready. This is my goal. This is what I have been working towards my whole life, you can say. To play in the NHL as a regular starter. And now I have this opportunity, I have this chance. I have to hold on to it and do everything possible not to let it go.
What's your relationship like with Leighton and Boucher? Do they help you out with advice?
Not really. But that's because my English is not that good yet. I don't understand a lot of things, nuances. I can exchange a couple of simple words with guys in the locker room. But as far as some technical elements, no. And also, every goaltender has his own style, and it is pointless to give advice.
When you came to the
locker room for the first time and saw people like Pronger, Richards, were you
star struck a little?
Not at all. Maybe when you're far away looking from a side, especially after you read the media, they are these big stars. But they are such nice wonderful people, very open and kind, and they are not spoiled at all. You don't feel any arrogance coming from them. It just feels good to be around these guys. It's just I am still having difficulties with my English and cannot express myself too good yet.
Goaltenders usually
quarterback their defense, tell them what to do. Do Flyers' defensemen
understand your Russian now? Maybe Pronger can be interviewed in Russia
[Laughing] No, they don't understand Russian. But you're right. When you're in a game and you spoke Russian all your life, when you communicated with your defense on the ice in Russian all your life, you keep doing it. I think in Russian and sometimes when I tell our defensemen what I want them to do, I do it in Russian. And then as the game goes on you realize that your words make no sense, that no one will understand them.
There is a tradition
in the NHL when rookies take their teammates out for dinner. Has that happened
to you yet?
No it hasn't happened yet. But I have certainly heard about it. I don't know what I should get myself ready for. I have just heard some rumors as to what to expect. But I don't think it will be something out of the ordinary. I think we'll just have a nice dinner.
Do you ever think that if things keep going the way they are you may be a contender for the Rookie of the Year award?
No, I don't think about it at all. It is not that important. Individual trophies are not something I am thinking about. For me the team is the most important. The most important is for the team to win. Little by little, game by game we should collect points for our overall success. And then we'll see what is going to happen. But the team is the most important.
How do you spend your free time?
There isn't much of it, to be honest. I usually spend it browsing the Internet. I also talk to my parents and my girlfriend on Skype all the time. Nothing else. My parents plan on visiting in December or January, depending on what the schedule is going to be like. Right now they are applying for visas and then they will come over with my little sister. I miss them. I wouldn't say that I am climbing up the walls from being homesick, just miss them a bit.
What impressed or shocked you the most when you came to the United States?
I don't even know. As I mentioned earlier, I kept convincing myself that it was going to be extremely difficult over here. Life is so much different here. Russia is one thing, and America is completely different. It's an entirely different world. So, I can't pick just one thing that surprised me the most. I try not to pay too much attention to distractions.
NHL season is very long. Are you ready for this rhythm?
I don't even know how to answer this question. I just keep playing game after game, and there is no time to think whether you're ready or not. I just try to play for the win. And then, when the game is over, it's forgotten. It's time for the next game.
