| Bye Bye 9 Dragons | | 2008-06-10 11:35:00 | | It all ends in less than 3 days... I am quiting 9Dragons and this time not becos I am tired of the game but rather of something rather technical. Remember I used to post something on how to run 9Dragons on Vista becos that time there are many problems getting the game to run on Vista hence I did some research and share my findings.This time I am using XP and my wife using Vista and yes you guess it right... 9Dragons now work perfectly on Vista and not on my XP system... In a period of just 2hours I had to manually closed the game application 4 times with each rebooting my system. That is just how serious the game actually crash my system. Not only that but it also affected my system audio, my task manager and my overall system health.So final decision... Uninstall 9Dragons and delete the installer for good. Good bye 9Dragons and this time is really for good.----------------------------------------To be or not to be, there can be only one | | By: Boleh! Boleh! | | |
| | 9Dragons Again | | 2008-06-09 02:43:00 | | After 1 year I once again join in the battle with my wife against the forces of good and evil in the MMORPG 9Dragons with this time we both on the dark side.So if you are feeling bored at home with some time to spare why not take the time and download the game client, install and join in the fun. You can look for either me or my wife in the game. Our clan is the Heavenly Demon Clan and our nicks are "Kopi-O" and "Teh-O' respectively. I will be posting the screenshots of both of us in action in the game soon after we got ourselves to a decent level and skill sets. So see you guys in the game and maybe we can see who can master their clan kung fu the fastest. (A preview of some of the player characters in the game. Nope me and my wife not in it)----------------------------------------To be or not to be, there can be only one | | By: Boleh! Boleh! | | |

| St.George and the New Dragons | | 2008-04-23 07:21:32 | | Today is St.George's Day. I hope everyone will have a happy day. Of course, that depends if people remember. It is all too easy for the English to forget in their busy lives. After all, its a fairly muted affair. The BBC mentioned the day, but suggested that more people celebrate Guy Fawkes Night than bother with giving St.George much attention. He got the short straw in the patron saint stakes. Some wags have even suggested he didn't exist.However, as the 21st Century dawned so too did a re-awakening in being English. What is so wrong in being proud of one's heritage, country and culture? Nothing! Everywhere else celebrates and has parties, so why not us?Today in the Daily Mail, Justice Secretary Jack Straw bemoans the fact that right-wing groups have hijacked the flag. He says we should all be proud of the English flag and St.George's Day. He says they had a great party in Blackburn. Well OK Jack, good on you, but it's not as rosy as you paint the picture.

| | A Dance with Dragons | | 2008-04-17 01:51:36 | | A Dance with DragonsBy George R.R. Martin
Product Description
Dubbed “the American Tolkien” by Time magazine, George R. R. Martin has earned international acclaim for his monumental cycle of epic fantasy. Now the #1 New York Times bestselling author delivers the fifth book in his spellbinding landmark series—as both familiar faces and surprising new forces vie for a foothold in a fragmented empire.
In the aftermath of a colossal battle, the future of the Seven Kingdoms hangs in the balance once again—beset by newly emerging threats from every direction. In the east, Daenerys Targaryen, the last scion of House Targaryen, rules with her three dragons as queen of a city built on dust and death. But Daenerys has three times three thousand enemies, and many have set out to find her. Yet, as they gather, one young man embarks upon his own quest for the queen, with an entirely different goal in mind. . . | | By: Store Books Cheap | | |

| | Dragons' Den bad value for money ? | | 2008-02-22 03:36:00 | | Dragons' Den bad value for money, say small businessesNearly 65% of small businesses say that they would turn down an offer from TV programme Dragons’ Den if they didn’t think it represented good value for money.According to a survey of just under 750 business owners, accounting software company Kashflow found that businesses would prefer to turn to banks or private backers for a more reasonable rate or split of the business.Of those who would accept, 36% said it was because of the experience the dragon could bring to the company, while 27% said they would use it to try and grow their company.A further 24% said they would only accept for the positive public relations opportunities.Ling Valentine, owner of LINGsCARS.com, is a small business owner who decided to turn down the Dragon’s offers of investment.She said: “I had two joint offers from dragons Bannatyne and Farleigh, but they wanted too much [of my business.] I refused both of their offers.“LINGsCARS.com has more than d | | By: Gordon Whyte's Blog of the daily challenges of an | | |

| | A boy and his flame dragons | | 2008-01-29 15:51:39 | | Title: Recca no Honou (Flame of Recca)Story & Art: Anzai NoboyukiVolumes: 33Genre: ShounenDoes anyone still remember Recca and his flame dragons? It was quite popular here in the Philippines when it was shown locally so I'm sure the Filipino readers would remember Recca and the other characters (with ugh...tagalized names).But I'm not writing about the anime today. In the event that you have no clue as to what Recca no Honou is, it's about this high school kid who have always dreamt of being a ninja. Recca always gets into fights and openly declares that whoever beats him will be his master. He gives his services to Yanagi - a girl with healing powers - and swears to protect her. Which is where the story basically starts.A tycoon, Mori, is after Yanagi because he wants to be immortal. A woman appears to Recca and Yanagi warning them about Mori's plans and we learn that Recca's from an ancient ninja clan called the Hokage and he was sent to the future in order to save his life.The H | | By: Poopsies - Toys, Anime, Manga, Video Games, etc. | | |

| | About Komodo Dragons | | 2007-12-19 01:52:00 | | “The Komodo dragon, as befits any creature evoking a mythological beast, has many names. It is also the Komodo monitor, being a member of the monitor lizard family, Varanidae, which today has one genus, Varanus. Residents of the island of Komodo call it the ora. Among some on Komodo and the islands of Rinca and Flores, it is buaya darat (land crocodile), a name that is descriptive but inaccurate; monitors are not crocodilians. Others call it biawak raksasa (giant monitor), which is quite correct; it ranks as the largest of the monitor lizards, a necessary logical consequence of its standing as the largest lizard of any kind now living on the earth…. Within the scientific community, the dragon is Varanus komodoensis. And most everyone calls it simply the Komodo”. The Komodo dragon is an ancient species whose ancestors date back over 100 million years. The varanid genus originated between 25 and 40 million years ago in Asia. The Komodo descended from this species and evolved to | | By: Visiting Lombok Island - Guidance Before Visiting | | |

| | How to keep fit and kill dragons | | 2007-10-24 04:27:00 | | The Formula for Sustainable Success in Life, Leadership and Work- VPPVGVision: The external stuff. Sometimes our vision is clouded by the desires of others, sometimes our vision is clouded by false core beliefs that are the reflection of things we were told to believe about life, about work, about ourselves. But, the truth is that we cannot start to WIN the race with wolves, we cannot start to really create a roadmap that will help us engage our potential to achieve greater success and fulfillment in our lives and our work with out a clear vision of what we really seek. And, this clear vision cannot be the vision of those who love us, those who mentor us, those we work for, our parents, teachers, authority figures, spouses or partners. A clear vision is our own personal vision of what we truly want to achieve in life and work.Purpose: The internal and eternal flame.It is a known fact that most people spend more time deciding on which movies to go to than really thinking about their lif | | By: Gordon Whyte's Blog of the daily challenges of an | | |

| | Interview- The Sea Dragons- Q&A | | 2007-09-28 18:18:00 | | Interview: Artist Name- The Sea Dragons Website- http://theseadragons.com MySpace URL- http://myspace.com/theseadragons Album Sales URL- http://cdbaby.com/cd/seadragons Genre- Pop, Rock, Alternative, Indie. Sounds Like- The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Oasis, Wilco, Paul Westerberg. Influenced By- The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Lucinda Williams. Short Bio.- The Sea Dragons- are really the story of one man's creative vision. Darryl Thurston, the band's singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has emerged as a creator of infinitely catchy yet substantive pop/rock, rooted in the classic style of the 60's and '70's but with a contemporary power and edge that makes it sound fresh and new. The band's publicity firm has provided us with the following Q&A session that they did with the band. The Sea Dragons Q&A: What's the last album you bought that you're enjoying? Vivaldi's - The Four Seasons. What's the most personal song you've ever written and what was it based? They all have bits of me in them but probably, "Fall Into You" is the most personal. I wrote it when I met my wife. What is your guilty pleasure band? I don't make any bones about music that sounds good to me. If it's good, I like it. Nobody should feel guilty about listening to what they like. Are you working on any music right now? Always. Do you support any charities? Special Olympics has a duck race in the East River every year that I support. What visual artists influence you the most? When I was younger I was influenced by artists that I was discovering. Picasso, Dali, Pollack, Miro, Rauschenberg, the cinematographer Sven Nykvist, basically everything. Now I'm mostly influenced by my daughters' art. What's your favorite thing to cook? I'm not much of a cook but I can make a wicked salmon steak in the broiler. What's your favorite restaurant and why? I live in New York so there are great restaurants everywhere. Depends on the mood. Could go German, Romanian, Russian, Thai, French, Italian, Japanese, I love it all. I always stop at Bertha's Mussels when I'm in Baltimore or fish and chips with a pint of beer at my neighborhood chippie. Have you been following the drama with internet radio and are you concerned that the rulings may affect your career? I support artists getting paid for their work but I also think that the smaller sites help artists to promote their music. | | By: Indie Music Stop | | |

| | What if Dragons were real? | | 2007-08-11 05:14:00 | | What would you do if they were real, or had been at one point and perhaps were driven to extinction by all those stories you read about knights fighting dragons and such? What then? With our world being so mysterious and animals thought to be extinct popping up randomly from time to time, could a real, living, breathing dragon come to life?How many of you have ever wondered if dragons truly existed? Or if there were larges lizards that could have caused rise to the dragon myths? And how many of you have sat around hoping to meet a real dragon one day?Well look no further than this image I found some years back taken at some time in 2004.I know what you're thinking... Is that real? (Well, maybe some of you are thinking it, and some of you are just thinking what a lot of scientists thought when they saw this). No, it isn't real, but it is possibly the most elaborate hoax in the history of zoological hoaxes from a physical standpoint.

| | Of Dollars and Dragons | | 2007-08-08 17:52:02 | | File this one under I told you so:From the Telegraph:China threatens 'nuclear option' of dollar salesThe Chinese government has begun a concerted campaign of economic threats against the United States, hinting that it may liquidate its vast holding of US treasuries if Washington imposes trade sanctions to force a yuan revaluation.Two officials at leading Communist Party bodies have given interviews in recent days warning - for the first time - that Beijing may use its $1.33 trillion (£658bn) of foreign reserves as a political weapon to counter pressure from the US Congress. Shifts in Chinese policy are often announced through key think tanks and academies.Described as China's "nuclear option" in the state media, such action could trigger a dollar crash at a time when the US currency is already breaking down through historic support levels.It would also cause a spike in US bond yields, hammering the US housing market and perhaps tipping the economy into recession.
