Chapter OneColorado-1895
It wasn't yet ten in the morning, and Dade Logan was already bored clean out of his mind. Other than locking the town drunk up every Friday night when he got a snootful, there wasn't much in the way of law to enforce in Placid, Colorado.
Not that he was anxious for trouble to come to this sleepy town that rested in the valley east of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Nope, he'd been waiting all winter for one person to return, and if she didn't show up soon he didn't know what the hell he would do.
The hiss of the locomotive and clang of the rail cars pulling out echoed up the main street of Placid. Two folks had boarded the Denver & Rio Grande, heading east to Pueblo. He hadn't seen anyone get off.
Maybe she'd arrive on the afternoon train. As the racket from steel wheels on rails grew faint, he heard his name being called out.
"Sheriff Logan! Sheriff Logan!"
Dade smiled. Raymond Tenfeather was pounding down the boardwalk somewhere between the stable and the jail, hollering out his name like he did every day about this time.
When the liveryman's younger son wasn't trailing his elder brother Duane around town, he had taken to following Dade on the pretext of helping him look for lawbreakers. Dade had gently explained that wasn't necessary, but the boy took it on himself to be the town spy. God only knew what Raymond had seen this time.
Dade rocked back in his chair and stacked his crossed boots on the edge of his desk, awaiting the boy's imminent arrival. As always, his gaze narrowed on the wanted posters tacked on the wall.
Dammit all if the three outlaws staring back at him weren't smirking. His pa and uncles would find it amusing that Dade had taken an oath to uphold the laws that Clete, Brice, and Seth Logan had been hell-bent on breaking all their lives.
It'd been twenty years since he'd seen any of them, though their wanted posters had haunted him most of his life. There sure as hell wasn't any love lost between him and his kin.
Yet one question nagged at him right after they pinned a tin star on his chest. If his pa and uncles came to town, could he draw on them?
Part of him said yes. His pa had had no qualms about deserting him and his little sister. Yet when all was said and done, he wasn't sure he could turn on his blood. Hell, unlike Reid Barclay, he couldn't have turned on either of his foster brothers either.
"Sheriff Logan!" Raymond burst into the jail, his dark skin glistening with sweat and his scrawny chest heaving from his run. "I saw her."
"Just who'd you see?" Dade asked.
"The lady you been waiting for," Raymond said.
"Daisy?" he asked.
The boy nodded. "She got off the train, just like you was hoping she'd do."
Now how the hell had he missed seeing her?
Dade's heart took off galloping at the thought that sticking around here had paid off. His missing sister had finally come back like everyone in town said she would.
For the first time in months he visited that dream of buying a nice little farm for them to call home. He could run a few head of cattle. Do a bit of farming. Hell, he could find his brother Trey and bring him into the deal.
It was a damn sight better thing to dwell on than the idea of going back to the Crown Seven and having it out with Reid, the foster brother who'd sold them out when they needed him the most.
First things first. He'd waited twenty years to find his sister. He wasn't about to waste a second forestalling their reunion.
"Where is she?" he asked, heading for the door as he spoke.
"Mrs. Gant's boardinghouse," Raymond said, hot on his heels.
The place where Daisy and her crippled traveling companion had stayed before. Mrs. Gant had told him about their visit to Placid. How Daisy had caught the young sheriff's eye. How she'd promised to come back last fall and marry Lester.
But the sheriff was dead, spring was in full bloom, and nobody in town had any idea where Daisy Logan and her lady friend hailed from.
Dade figured she'd heard about Lester's murder and wasn't coming back to Placid. He feared he'd lost her again.
"Thanks, Raymond." Dade flipped the boy a silver dollar and headed out the door.
Long determined strides carried him across the dusty street. He wondered how much Daisy had changed. Would she recognize him? Would she be as glad to be reunited with her family as he was?
He'd find out damn soon, he thought, as he cut down the street between Hein's Grocery and Doc Franklin's house.
Mrs. Gant's boardinghouse sat the next street over, but the elevation made the walk seem farther. He bounded up the steps then paused at the door to steady his breath.
The climb was nothing, but the excitement pounding inside him made it hard to draw a decent breath. He blew out the air trapped in his chest, inhaled deeply, and stepped inside.
Mrs. Gant was in the parlor, serving tea to a lady seated on the stiff Victorian sofa. Neither seemed to have heard him come in.
That was fine by him, for it gave him time to study his sister. Her golden hair had darkened to a rich honey. Her features were still delicate and refined, but she didn't resemble their mother or father.
She wasn't a cute little pixie anymore. Nope, she'd grown into a beautiful woman with all the curves in all the right places. But it was the odd combination of grief and fear in her eyes that gave him pause.
"I am so sorry to be the one to tell you that Lester has passed over," Mrs. Gant said, verifying what Dade suspected had caused his sister's distress. "I didn't know where you'd gone, but when you didn't come back last fall like you said you would, I thought maybe you'd heard."
"No, I had no idea," Daisy said. "What happened?"
"It was just awful," Mrs. Gant said. "This ruffian came to town, intent on robbing the bank. Lester was there, and before he could turn and confront this no-account, the ruffian shot him dead."
Daisy pressed a hand to her mouth, clearly horrified by the news. Mrs. Gant's version was close enough to the truth that Dade didn't see the need to comment.
"I tell you truly," Mrs. Gant said, "I shudder to think what would've happened if Dade Logan hadn't stepped in like he did and ended the robber's reign of terror on our town. No telling who else would've been gunned down if not for your brother's courage."
Dade winced. The townsfolk had taken to embellishing the events of that day to the point Dade cringed every time he heard it. Now was surely no exception, for Daisy's face had leached of color at the mention of his name.
"W-what?" Daisy said in a voice that was way too high.
"Yes, indeed, your brother is a hero." Mrs. Gant launched into telling Daisy the details.
This surely wasn't the reunion he'd had in mind. A sound of disgust must've slipped from him for Mrs. Gant glanced his way and smiled.
Daisy, on the other hand, looked ready to bolt as her head snapped up and her gaze clashed with his. Instead of recognition lighting her eyes, they narrowed with suspicion and something bordering on dread.
Mrs. Gant patted Daisy's hand. "It'll be all right now, dear. You have family to help you through this difficult time."
Daisy shook her head. "No! I'm an orphan."
Dade scrubbed a hand across his nape, frustrated and more than a mite worried about his sister's increased distress. He wasn't surprised that Daisy hadn't recognized him after twenty years, but forgetting that he existed signaled something else entirely.
"You saying you don't remember me?" Dade asked.
She shook her head, her gaze focusing on his tin star before lifting to his face. He hadn't thought she could get any paler but he'd been wrong.
"Don't you remember that Pa left us at the Guardian Angel's Orphan Asylum?"
She shook her head and stared at him with troubled eyes.
"You recall being in the orphanage?" he asked.
She frowned. "Some. Mostly I was scared."
So was Dade, but it did him no good then or now to admit it. How could her memory be that bad?
She'd cried and screamed for Dade after their pa had dumped them there, and put up more of a ruckus when they'd been separated-boys in one wing of the drafty old building and girls in the other.
They'd seen each other precious little after that, but she hadn't forgotten him then. She'd pitched a fit when they took her away on the orphan train, to the point that they'd had to restrain him from going after her.
As the wagon pulled away, he'd vowed he'd find her and keep them together as family. But he hadn't been able to keep his promise.
"Reid, Trey, and I tried to find you," he said, but though they'd run away from the orphanage a few months later, they'd failed to pick up the trail of the orphan train that Daisy had taken west.
He'd failed his sister.
"Reid and Trey. Are they family?"
"They're as close as brothers to me." Or were. "But they aren't blood kin like we are."
Daisy didn't look the least bit relieved. In fact, she acted more leery than before as she turned to Mrs. Gant.
"Is he really my brother?" she asked the older woman.
Her trust in a stranger was a gut punch to Dade. It didn't ease his mind none that Mrs. Gant was giving him a long assessing look either. He knew trouble was coming before she voiced an opinion, which the lady always had on everything.
"Well, he says he is. But all we have is his word." Mrs. Gant pinned him with a squinty stare. "You have any kin in these parts?"
He hoped to hell not. The last thing he needed was for his outlaw pa and uncles to show their faces. He'd be lucky to get out of town without getting shot.
"No kin left but me and Daisy," he said, and he reasoned that could be true. Any day he expected to get word that his old man and renegade uncles had been gunned down.
He swore under his breath, damning his pa again for abandoning his family. Daisy had only been four years old when they'd arrived at the Guardian Angel's Orphan Asylum. She'd just turned five when she'd been put on the orphan train.
"Forgive me for being skeptical." Daisy swallowed hard and looked up at him. "But I was told that I had no family."
"That's a lie," Dade said. "You've got me."
Daisy grimaced and seemed not the least bit repentant about her aversion to him. "If you're telling the truth."
Dade scrubbed a hand over his mouth to smother a curse that ached to burst free. What the hell could he do to convince his sister of the truth?
"Well, this is quite an interesting turn of events," Mrs. Gant said. "You don't favor each other at all. Pity you don't have a photograph of when you were children. We'd likely be able to put all doubts to rest then."
Truer words were never spoken. "There was one," he said, barely recalling the day it'd been taken but knowing it had happened all the same. "Ma kept it in her locket."
Daisy was clearly uncomfortable with his recollections for her cheeks turned pink, and she began fidgeting with something at her throat. He gave a passing glance at the blue cameo broach pinned to her bodice, then just gaped at the locket.
"That's it, handed down to her by her ma." He could've sworn pure panic flared in Daisy's eyes. "Before Pa left us at the orphanage, he pinned that to your dress."
Her lower lip quivered as she turned to Mrs. Gant. "I don't know what to believe."
"Well, let's have a look inside that locket," Mrs. Gant said, taking the words right out of Dade's mouth.
Daisy squirmed, as if nervous over finding the proof of his claim. Finally she unclasped the cameo from her bodice, hesitated a moment, and then handed it to Mrs. Gant.
"My hands are shaking too badly to search for the clasp," Daisy said.
Not so for Mrs. Gant. The lady found and opened it before Daisy finished talking.
"There's nothing inside it," Mrs. Gant said.
Dade should've figured that'd be the case. And did Daisy just let out a sob? Or was that a sigh of relief?
The older woman closed the broach and pressed it back into Daisy's hand, then enfolded her in her arms. "There, there. You've been through too much, what with just hearing that your beau passed on. And now all this about having a lost brother."
"What happened to the photographs?" he asked his sister.
"I have no idea," Daisy said. "I didn't even know this was a locket until just now."
He snorted at that. How could she not know?
Mrs. Gant chastised him with a look that would've done a schoolmarm proud. But he wasn't backing down. Not now.
"Look at the back of the broach," he said, then stubbornly waited until she did as he said. "The inscription reads, 'Be true to yourself.' The initials TL are struck below it."
A frown marred Daisy's smooth brow. "Who's TL?"
"Our mother. Tessa Logan."
Her narrow shoulders slumped as she tightened her fingers around the broach in her hand. "That's it exactly. I guess that means you're telling the truth."
"It does. I've been looking for you for years," he said.
"Well now you've found me." She didn't sound particularly happy about it.
Dade couldn't fault her for that. He couldn't even grumble much about her hesitation now.
They were strangers. She'd lived a life apart from everything she'd known, just like him. She'd obviously lost her heart to Sheriff Emery and had intended to marry him. Or had she?
"Why didn't you come back last fall?" he asked.
"I couldn't decide if marrying Lester was the right thing to do," Daisy said, and avoided meeting his eyes. "By the time I knew what I wanted, winter hit and snowed me in."
That sounded fine on the surface, for he'd been stranded here as well. She'd gone back to wherever she'd called home, thought things over, and then returned to marry her beau. But Lester was dead, shot down by a young outlaw who was trigger-happy.
He reckoned it was better it happened now than after they'd married, leaving Daisy a young widow, perhaps with a baby. Yet Daisy didn't seem all that brokenhearted over Lester's death. In fact, she appeared more worried than anything.
"You never did say where you were raised," Dade said to break the awful silence.
Daisy fidgeted just enough to make him think she was uncomfortable talking about that. "A mining town west of the divide."
"This town have a name?" he asked.
She looked away. Swallowed. "Burland."
He'd heard of it. A couple of men had swindled claims out of many a miner, ending up rich while the rest of the miners went broke. Considering the way she was dressed, he had a feeling she'd been raised in one of the rich households.
So why marry a poor small town sheriff when she could likely have her pick of gentlemen? Now that Lester Emery was gone, why stay here with a brother she didn't remember?
"Will you return to Burland now?" Mrs. Gant asked.
Daisy's narrow shoulders went stiff. "There's nothing left for me there."
Mrs. Gant tsked. "Then you should stay right here with your brother. That'll give you both time to get to know each other again."
"Thank you," Daisy said, her smile as thin as Dade's waning patience.
He ground his teeth. She wasn't sticking around because she wanted to get close to her brother again. Nope, she had nowhere else to go. That wasn't a kick in the shins but it came damned close.
His little sister had been a delicate, fragile child who'd clung to him. She'd been unbelievably shy and prone to tears. But the Daisy before him seemed to have developed the grit to take off on her own across the Great Divide.
She also possessed an alluring womanly charm that called to some need deep inside him. Hell, if he wasn't her brother he'd have been drawn to her.
He shook off those disquieting thoughts and focused on the problem at hand. He still didn't know what type of folks had taken in his sister and raised her.
Not that it mattered. She had him to protect her now, just like he'd sworn he'd do twenty odd years ago.
If she'd let him. Right now that didn't seem too likely.
Dade blew out a weary breath. For damn sure he had his work cut out for him gaining her trust.

How to Play Minecraft
Six Parts:Creating Your Own WorldSurviving the First NightPlaying the GameDefending YourselfFinding Materials and Crafting ObjectsHaving Fun With MinecraftCommunity Q&A
Minecraft is a giant sandbox game where you can fight monsters, craft tools and items, and create your own world. It has one of the biggest communities in any game, and it has revolutionized the indie gaming industry. The game comes with a tutorial, and the learning curve is a bit steep, making it one of the most popular indie games of the decade.
This guide focuses on the PC and Mac version of Minecraft. While some aspects of this guide may apply to the Xbox 360, Playstation and Pocket Edition, not all will steps will equally apply.
Part 1
Creating Your Own World
1Choose player mode and options. When first starting the game, you will need to choose if you want to play single player or multiplayer. In single player, you obviously play alone, while in multiplayer you play with other people across the Minecraft servers. If playing the free version of Minecraft, multiplayer will not be available to you. You will also need to set the main options, which include the sound and difficulty settings, among other settings as well.
- The difficulty settings determine whether or not monsters which are also known as "hostile mobs" will show up at night or underground. These are specific to each world, so your difficulty settings on one world may be different to another. Peaceful (for beginners) will prevent hostile mobs from spawning, while Easy will give you a small spawn rate, and Hard will give you a massive one. The amount of attack damage given to you by each mob will differ depending on the difficulty settings too. Also, in the hard mode, Zombies, which are hostile mobs, can break down wooden doors down and kill you!
- If you are playing multiplayer, it will be unnecessary to create a world, as you can simply join someone else's server. To find a multiplayer server, you can visit a website such as planetminecraft.com. However, if you only want to play Minecraft with a few close friends, then making your own server may be the best option.
2Choose your game mode. If you are playing on your own, you will need to create a world for your character to inhabit. When creating this world, you will need to choose the game mode, as this will change how the world you create will work. This functionally makes the game easier or harder to play. The available modes are:
- Survival: When playing in survival mode, you will have many of the familiar requirements of other games. Health, hunger, armor, and oxygen (when swimming) bars will appear, as well as an inventory. You will also need to gather materials for crafting, through mining and other means, as well as gain experience points.
- Creative: You will have unlimited access to materials in this mode, and your needs (such as health and hunger) will be gone. Also, you can fly.
- Hardcore: This mode is the same as survival except hardcore permanently locks the created world into the Hard difficulty setting, and your world will be permanently deleted if you die. So, be careful! (By the PC update for 1.9, you will be stuck in spectator mode after you die)
- Spectator: This mode will allow you to simply fly through the floor to see the world. You can only get it by using the /gamemode command or by dying in hardcore mode.
- Adventure: The correct tools will be needed in order to harvest the individual types of materials in this mode. However, other items can still be interacted with. This will only appear in custom made adventure maps or by using the /gamemode command.
3Set your World Options. This is a helpful menu which allows you to control the world you are creating better. You can type in a seed (or code which generates a specific world), toggle cheats, and set your World Mode, among other options.
- World modes include - Default which does the basic generation, Superflat, which is essentially a flat world, Large Biomes, basically creates much larger biomes than the default settings, AMPLIFIED which generates huge mountains and deep caves, Customized that can make awesome different worlds, and finally a special biome called Debug that generates every single type of block in one world but you can only look at them.
Part 2
Surviving the First Night
Surviving the first night is essential to all players playing in survival mode on difficulty setting easy or above. If you are playing on peaceful or creative mode, this information will not apply to you.
1Get to work right away. When you first start playing the game, the most important thing will be to survive the first night. The game goes through day-night cycles and the monsters in the game appear at night. You will need to build yourself a shelter before the in-game sunset so that you will be protected.[1]
2Gather materials. You will need to mine and collect materials in order to build anything in the game. The first material you will need to collect to survive your first night is wood. Find trees and punch them, by holding down the left mouse button, to destroy them and collect wood.
- Twenty pieces is a good starting point.
3Build a crafting table. A crafting table will be used to create all of your items in the game. Build a crafting table to continue to build your shelter. You can build a crafting table by following these instructions:
- Open your inventory by pressing "E" on your keyboard and place one wood in one box on the top right under Crafting. This should allow you to build wood planks.
- Grab the wood planks that it gives you and put them in your inventory.
- Take those wood planks and fill all four boxes under "Crafting" with wood. Do this by right clicking each square or holding left click as you drag your mouse over all 4 squares.
- This will allow you to craft a crafting table. Take it and place it by right clicking somewhere near where you intend to build your shelter.
- When crafting at a crafting table, there are 9 positions in which to place items. Which order items are placed in is important, but position isn't important for certain items, From here on, the positions will be referred to as 1-9, going left to right and then down (as if reading a book).
4Craft your tools. You will need tools in order to harvest many materials. Build your first tools using wood and your crafting table. The main tools will be a pickaxe, an axe, a shovel, and a sword.
- Begin to make tools by making sticks. These are made using two planks in your inventory crafting boxes. Two planks make four sticks.
- Make a pickaxe by placing sticks in positions 5 and 8, and wood planks in positions 1-3. Notice how it makes the shape of a pickaxe?
- Make an axe by placing planks in positions 1, 2, and 4, and sticks in positions 5 and 8.
- Make a shovel by placing 1 plank in position 2, and sticks in positions 5 and 8.
- Make a sword by placing planks in positions 2 and 5, and 1 stick in position 8.
- These tools can be improved by making them with cobblestone, rather than wood. However, don't waste time finding stone during your first day. You can make better tools during the next day.
5Mine some coal. You want to have some torches in your house. Otherwise, your home will be dark and hostile mobs will spawn in.
6Build a structure. Build some kind of structure in any location which is large enough, though on top of a hill or mountain is usually a good idea (it will be easier to defend and find later). You can build a house-like structure or you can dig yourself a cave. The goal is to make a structure which you can shut yourself in to (although don't forget to leave yourself an initial way to get in!). A roof is not necessary, though spiders will be able to enter. You can place an overhang around the shelter so that spiders are barred. Your character is 2 blocks high, so if you want a doorway, make it 2 blocks high.
- Ensure that your shelter has enough light to prevent hostile mobs from spawning inside of it.
- Craft a door by placing wooden planks in positions 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8 while crafting. To open a door, right click it. However, this is true only for wooden doors. If you somehow find iron and make an iron door, you will need a pressure plate or other redstone mechanism.
7Kill some sheep with your sword. It may seem cruel, but its how you will survive. They will drop 1 piece wool if you kill them but if you somehow find iron and craft shears, they will drop 1-3 pieces of wool. Collect 3 pieces of wool and 3 wooden planks to craft a bed. To craft a bed, place the 3 wool in positions 4, 5, and 6 and the 3 wooden planks in 7, 8, and 9
8Find food. Once you have survived the first night, you will want to find some food. Going hungry will lower your health over time and make you easier to kill. The easiest way to find food is to kill animals. If you are too nice, then use apples or plant seeds to get wheat. Food will be unnecessary on Peaceful difficulty.
Part 3
Playing the Game
1Play RPG style. Once you've built your basic shelter and tools and you've survived the first night, the rest of the game can largely be played however you wish. One way to play the game is in the style of an RPG. Go around collecting and crafting better items, and slowly work your way up to The End (another world where you will need to fight a dragon to "beat" the game).
2Play Sandbox style. You can play what is called "sandbox" style, where you use the materials and environments to create cool environments and structures. Minecraft players have recreated cities from Game of Thrones, the menacing Helm's Deep from Lord of the Rings, even the White House and Notre Dame!
3Play Inventor style. The game can also be fun for budding inventors, as it has mechanical aspects. You can figure out how to build working elevators, cannons, or anything else you can think up, through the use of redstone. Some players even managed to build a working computer in the game!
4Keep your game mode in mind. Some game modes work better for certain playing styles than others. If playing Sandbox style, for example, you're probably better off playing in Creative mode.
Part 4
Defending Yourself
1Get weapons. You will want a weapon to defend yourself from the various monsters in the game. A sword is a great place to start and the method of building it is described above. Make sure that you use stronger materials than wood for the blade on your more permanent weapon, as wood will degrade quicker than other types of tools.
2Get armor. You will want to craft yourself some armor. Armor will help protect you from damage when fighting monsters. You can create several different pieces of armor and, as with many items in the game, you can craft them out of different types of materials.[2]
- Materials you can use to craft armor include: leather, iron ingots, gold ingots and diamond gems. You can also buy chainmail armor off of NPC Villagers.
- Craft a helmet by placing your material in positions 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9.
- Craft a chestplate by placing your material in every position, but position 2.
- Craft leggings by placing your material in every position BUT 5 and 8.
- Craft boots by placing your material in positions 4, 7, 6 and 9.
3Place torches. Monsters cannot spawn in areas with strong enough light. To keep areas lit at night, you will need to place torches. To make a torch, you will need 1 stick and 1 coal (coal placed above stick when crafting).
- Coal can be found in mountainous areas or underground. It looks like stone with dark spots on it.
4Know the different Mobs. Mobs (or mobiles) are any creatures which move in the game. These can be good or they can be hostile. Knowing how to identify which is which is very important, as it can mean the difference between life or having to find your way back after respawning.[3]
- Peaceful Mobs, such as cows, chicken, and sheep, will never attack you. You can attack them in order to collect meat for food.
- Neutral Mobs will not attack you until you give them a reason. Different actions will set off different neutral mobs. Zombie Pigmen, and wolves, for example, must be attacked before they will hurt you. On the other hand, endermen will become hostile as soon as you look at them (so avoid getting them in your crosshair). Endermen are neutral but will become hostile if you look at them from the upper legs and up or if you attack them first.
- Hostile Mobs will always attack you if they see you. These mobs only spawn at night or underground. Common hostile mobs include skeletons, zombies, creepers, endermen, and spiders.
Part 5
Finding Materials and Crafting Objects
1Look for materials underground. Some materials, such as dirt, stone and cobblestone, are generally found underground or on exposed hillsides. You will need to dig with the pickaxe or shovel to harvest these materials.[4]
2Look for materials above ground. You can also find certain materials above ground. This includes materials like wood, sugar cane, seeds, and wheat. You can also collect things like wheat in villages. Axes or your hands are often enough to get these materials.
3Look for materials from creatures. Some materials will need to be obtained from creatures. You can get wool from sheep (avoid killing them by using shears), eggs from chickens, and milk from cow, among a number of other items.
4Use your crafting table. Use your crafting table or your inventory crafting to create items. Don't forget that the shape you make when crafting items can often be important in making your recipes work (although some items do not require this). Click and drag items from your inventory into the crafting boxes, placing the lot with a left click or just one with a right click. Take the item you've created by clicking its image and dragging it into your inventory.
5Find crafting recipes. There are far too many game items to list all of their crafting recipes here.[5] You can find recipes for the different items by searching our Minecraft section or by looking at a variety of other websites online. You can also ask your fellow players.
Part 6
Having Fun With Minecraft
1Make a map or make a compass so you can find your way around.
2Breed animals and build a basic farm to provide for yourself and give you materials to use or trade.
3Get a horse, cat or dog to keep as a pet.
4Brew potions to heal yourself, make yourself stronger, invisible, or produce a number of other effects.
Community Q&A
Can endermen get into my house?wikiHow ContributorIt depends on the height of your house. If it is less than 3 blocks high, you will be safe. The endermen could only start teleporting when you look them in the eyes though. They will not spawn in water or in a well lit house.
Can I die in creative mode?wikiHow ContributorYes, but only in two ways. The first is by falling into a void. When you dig down and hit bedrock, you can only break it in creative mode, and once you hit it, you will fall into the void and die, if you don't fly back up just in time. The other way is to kill yourself by cheats. If you have cheats on, open up chat and do /kill to kill yourself.
Is Minecraft a computer game?wikiHow ContributorMinecraft is available for computers, smartphones, and video game consoles. The computer version for Windows, Mac, and Linux has the most features.
When playing Minecraft, if I die in creative mode, will I fall into the void?wikiHow ContributorThere are only two ways to die in creative mode (keeping in mind that the version is 1.9 survival). The only way you can die in creative mode is 1) falling into the void or 2) doing the /kill (player) command. There is no really other way to die. And if you do die in creative mode, you will not go straight to the void, you will simply be given the "You Died" Screen. Just press respawn and you are good to go.
How do you move around?wikiHow ContributorIf you're playing a computer, W will move you forward, S will move you back, A will sidestep to the left, and D will sidestep to the right. You can look around with the mouse. If you're playing on a video game system, use the analog sticks on your controller to move and look.

How do I build highly-detailed and complex structures?wikiHow ContributorWith Minecraft, you're only limited by your imagination. You may find it easier to build complex buildings while in Creative Mode. This mode gives you access to unlimited building supplies, including hard-to-find materials like Obsidian. Once you're done constructing buildings in Creative Mode, you can switch over to Survival and play with your creations.
Are there only wooden tools or can we upgrade these tools?wikiHow ContributorThere are wooden, gold, stone, iron and diamond tools. Gold tools are essentially the same as wooden tools, but they break faster. Stone tools are generally better, as they mine faster and can mine more blocks than wood can. Iron is used by many players, as it can mine anything except for obsidian. Lastly, diamond tools are the best-they do not break easily and can mine obsidian. You cannot upgrade these tools, you have to re-craft them using the desired material. An example would be an iron pickaxe crafted from three iron ingots and two sticks. An exception is stone tools, which are crafted using cobblestone instead of stone.
Where do I find cobblestone?wikiHow ContributorWhen a stone block is broken with a pickaxe, it will drop cobblestone. Cobblestone also spawns naturally in dungeons and villages as parts of different structures.
How do you make a working portal in Minecraft?wikiHow ContributorThere are two types of portals in Minecraft: Nether Portals, and End Portals. A Nether Portal requires an Obsidian frame which will activate when lit with Fire. The End Portal can only be created in Creative mode, as it is premade in Survival mode. To make an End Portal in Creative Mode, you'll need to make a frame from End Portal Frame blocks, each activated by an Eye of Ender.
How do you remove blocks?wikiHow ContributorPoint at the block you want to remove, and hold the left mouse button in survival mode. In creative mode, left click the block. Note that in survival mode, some tools can help you to remove blocks faster, and sometimes the blocks will drop nothing if you mine them with the wrong tool!

However, unlike tools, you can only make leather, iron, gold, and diamond armor. There is also chain armor, however this is only attainable through villager trading. There are other, less common ways of protecting yourself. You can make structures, walls, and barricades to prevent hostile mobs (monsters) from coming into your home. You can also get a friend in the game to help. A rare but efficient way to protect yourself is create a beacon -- it can give you a resistance boost.
How do you make a map?wikiHow ContributorMaps are generated randomly when you start the game. You can share these files with others by finding the map file in your "saves" folder. If you want to create a custom map, WorldPainter is a popular map building utility.

How do I get coal?wikiHow ContributorYou have to go mining. It is the most common ore, so usually you can find it just sitting in a little dip.
How do I grow crops?wikiHow ContributorIn order to grow crops, have the crops planted on farmland (grass/dirt blocks prepared by a hoe). They may take a while to grow, but you can speed up the process by using bonemeal. To get bonemeal, simply put a bone in the crafting area and you will get 3 bonemeal. Right click the crop and you'll have it grow.
Can you get unicorns in Minecraft PE?wikiHow ContributorNo, you can't get unicorns in Minecraft PE because there isn't any horse or unicorn in Minecraft PE. However, this may change in the future but that would depend on the game makers.
How do you get diamonds?wikiHow ContributorThere are many ways to get diamonds. You can try to find a cave and get lucky (not really a good strategy). Build a staircase down to y7 and dig in a straight line, which is better than finding them randomly. Dig straight down (but there is a high risk of falling in lava) and try to dig around to find diamonds. Note, diamonds can only be mined using an iron pickaxe. See https://www.wikihow.com/Find-and-Mine-Diamonds-Fast-on-Minecraft for more help.
I am watching Minecraft videos but the problem is slimes and magma cubes. I am scared of them.wikiHow ContributorKill them. They can't swim, so if the water is too deep for them to hop out, they'll drown. Slimes will also burn up in lava, but magma cubes can swim in it. Try to hit them with arrows, or try to hit them while they're hopping, as this will allow you to gain some control over which direction they move in. Keep in mind that both slimes and magma cubes both can see you through solid blocks.
How do I make my own seed?wikiHow ContributorTo make your own seed, go to the home screen, click "Singleplayer" or "Multiplayer", add a world, click world options, then enter a seed under Seed.
Can I put Minecraft PE on a Kindle Fire?wikiHow ContributorYou can download it from the store, or you can just get an APK file. Then, go into your downloads and run the APK file and let it install.
- Hostile mobs only spawn on a 25 (or more) block radius away from you.
- Use tools properly. Swords are for killing mobs (such as zombies, skeletons, creepers, etc.), shovels are for digging out blocks (such as dirt, gravel, sand, etc.), axes are for cutting wooden items (such as chests, logs, crafting tables, etc.), pickaxes are for mining stone/stone sources (such as stone, cobblestone, coal ore, etc.), and hoes are for planting farmland.
- You should make a wood pickaxe in the beginning and then from there, mine stone. With those materials, you can create more tools.
- If you can't find or build any shelter when it is getting dark, dig a 3 block deep ditch, and place a bed to sleep (leave a hole in the ditch, because if you close it up, it will be very dark and monsters will spawn when you try to sleep. Otherwise, if you have some torches, block up the hole, place a few torches, and have a good night's rest).
- You don't need to build a shelter for night. If you get enough blocks (preferably ones that break easily) you can build straight up and survive on top, when you are done jump into the nearest water source or break each block under you. This is only temporary, but can be extremely useful, if this structure is not tall enough (20 blocks or so) it will not work.
- Raiding village chests will give you resources, the Blacksmith's shop has a flat roof, and lava in the front. They don't appear in all villages, but if they do they contain a chest.
- Villages can be your temporary shelter if you cannot build a shelter before dusk.
- When trying to survive the first night, if you can't find coal smelt some logs in a furnace to make charcoal. That makes it easier to cook your food.
- If you hold shift on the modes you can get to debug mode.
- Animals are the most common food resource. If you happen to come across a pig, cow, or a chicken, kill it and collect the drop. Use furnaces to cook the raw meat you have retrieved from animals. Cooked food is more than twice as good as raw food.
- Cutting into mountain sides are an easy shelter.
- You can get Chain armor if you trade with villagers or if a mob drops it.
- Stay in your shelter at night.
- Use good armour. Leather is worst to use.
- Be aware of the following mobs:
- Zombie: A slow but strong mob that deals around 2 and a half hearts of damage if you get too close. Sometimes travels in mob packs, and sometimes wears armour or wields weapons. It is advised that you target these mobs last in a monster group, as they are very slow.
- Mini Zombie: Also called a baby zombie. These zombies are much faster than normal zombies (they run at the same speed as you can) and deal the same amount of damage as an adult zombie, however their hitbox is the same size as the adult zombie.
- Skeleton: A dangerous mob that rapidly shoots arrows dealing 2 hearts of damage and knockback. When encountering skeletons, it is recommended that you were full leather armor or stronger, since they can target you from long range and are very dangerous in groups.
- Spider: A fast, climbing mob, they are proven to be versatile and dangerous in groups. Either target these or skeletons first in a monster group.
- Creeper: A silent, yet deadly mob that will make no noise when sneaking up on you, unless it is too close. It will hiss if you are close to it, giving only a few seconds chance of escaping it. In close range, it's explosion attack could so much as kill you. In medium range, it can still deal lots of damage, totaling of up to 4 hearts. In a monster mob, it is advised that you use the creeper's explosion to your advantage. Get close to it to make it explode, and run back about 7 blocks when you hear it hiss. If you're lucky, you could take out an entire monster mob with this strategy.
- The Spider Jockey is a skeleton riding a spider. It is very rare, so don't expect to see it as soon as it gets dark! Unless you have an iron sword and armor, run immediately!
- These aren't the only mobs, yet they are the most common. Follow these tips so you can deal with each of them!
- If you press and hold Shift and click an item in your inventory, it will automatically move to your slots without manually having to move it yourself.
- If your slots are full, the items that you want to move will move to your inventory.
- If both your inventory and slots are full then it will not work.
- It works too while you craft many same items/take items from chest or furnace and want to move them to inventory/slots with Shift. But you can only put back the items on your inventory/slots automatically into the chest.
- You can't put the items back in crafting table/furnace in inventory menu with Shift.
- Try going to other worlds in the game.
- The Nether: Make a square or rectangle out of obsidian that is at least 4X4. It doesn't matter how big as long as it is a perfect rectangle or square. Corners do not matter. Once inside, be careful of lava.
- The End: Kill Endermen and craft eyes of Ender. Throw them and whatever direction they go, follow them. They will lead you to The End portal where you can slay the Ender Dragon.
- Watch out for monsters even during the day, as creepers and spiders will not die from sunlight like zombies and skeletons. Also, skeletons and zombies can survive the day if they are in water.
- Always have torches when you mine or else you might get a surprise of mobs in where you are mining!
- Never dig straight down as you might just fall into a lava pool or dark cave full of hostile mobs.
- If you fall from a great height you will take damage, or even die.
- Not all the same tools break the same blocks. E.g a Wooden Pickaxe can not break any ores except Coal. A Stone Pickaxe can mine Iron ore and Coal ore. An iron Pickaxe can mine Coal Ore, Diamond Ore, Iron Ore, Redstone Ore, Gold Ore and Emerald Ore. A Diamond Pickaxe can mine every ore, and it is the only tool that can mine Obsidian.
- Never make a fireplace. If you have flammable blocks, it might spread, burning these blocks, causing a fire that can burn you.
- Never run into a creeper as it is deadly and will kill you if you do not have strong armor.
- Wooden tools are ok for a beginner, but will not last you long, so build stone tools so you can get iron tools, and iron tools let you get diamond tools.
- Never dig straight up because lava could be right above you!
- Never sleep in a dark place since hostile mobs will spawn and attack you.
- Don't try to kill a skeleton in water!
- Don't try to break bedrock in survival, hardcore, nor creative. If you mine it, you will fall into The Void, and on layer -64, you start losing health. Once you die, you lose your inventory forever!

Fresh Market looking into another store on South Trail
Published: Wednesday, January 6, 2010 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 5, 2010 at 7:52 p.m.
SARASOTA - Fresh Market, a North Carolina-based boutique grocer pushing into Florida, intends to open a store in a shuttered Circuit City south of Sarasota.
Fresh Market's plans for the 4708 S. Tamiami Trail building would mark its second area store, following its debut on University Parkway in a Kohl's-anchored, Benderson Development Co. shopping complex last year.
The new Fresh Market would also further a trend toward new supermarket offerings, kicked off by a Whole Foods Market in downtown Sarasota in 2004.
In addition to Fresh Market, Publix Supermarkets is planning to build a new store at 801 S. Tamiami Trail, in Sarasota, and German discount grocer Aldi is inching its way into Southwest Florida.
Fresh Market's plans will have their first public airing Thursday, when company representatives go before Sarasota County's Development Review Committee.
In a preliminary form, Fresh Market indicated it would convert the 45,040-square-foot building -- which Circuit City abandoned last year as part of a corporate bankruptcy filing -- for a grocery store.
A Sarasota County official noted the company's application is preliminary.
"They're simply seeking information at this point," said Mary Stephens, a land development coordinator in the county's Planning & Development Services department.
"The only thing they've asked of us is permission to put a cut in into the road to the north of the project, Fiesta Drive," Stephens said.
Stephens said the county could approve Fresh Market's application in as little as 30 days, if there are no complications.
Company officials did not return telephone calls for comment, and the building's owner, Miami-based Continental Fidelity Corp., declined to comment.
Continental Fidelity has owned the building since November 1992, when it paid $5.6 million, county property records show.
Analysts said Fresh Market's interest demonstrates confidence in Sarasota.
"It's an absolutely fantastic food operation and a great location," said Barry Seidel, president of American Property Group of Sarasota Inc., a commercial real estate brokerage firm specializing in Tamiami Trail properties.
"Both Whole Foods and Fresh Market fit in with the trend of being very health conscious," Seidel said. "People want organic and fresh, and their concept is reminiscent of a time when people mostly shopped at a corner market.
"Fresh Markets are warm, inviting experiences," he said.
Created in 1982 in the image of European-style markets, Fresh Market's smaller stores offer produce and other products in open bins rather than in packaging.
The company operates nearly 100 stores in 19 states, according to its Web site, including nearly two dozen stores in Florida, including Tampa, Naples, Coconut Grove, Orlando and Jacksonville.
Seven stores are in development in six states, including New York, Maryland, Massachusetts and Illinois, the Web site notes.
A pair of Florida stores are planned in St. Petersburg and South Miami Beach, though the new Sarasota site was not listed.

Thanks, y'all! @KJWILD, I'm horrible about measuring things when I cook. I kinda just ad lib as I go. It was similar to THIS RECIPE. Just taste as you go to figure out what works best for your preference. For the steak itself, I enjoy to use a similar version of THIS RECIPE for the seasoning. It gives a nice crusty outer layer to the steak that is salty and flavorful without taking away the flavor of the beef. Don't be stingy with the seasoning if it's a nice thick steak. You want the outer layer to be generously seasoned. For cooking the steak, just get your CI skillet nice and hot and then add your butter. Then grill your steaks until they register 125 deg f internal. Then take them off to rest. Then use the same skillet and complete the recipe for the sauce. Then top your steak with the sauce.KJWILD said:Those cooks look great. Thank you for sharing. My next cook is going to steak and I think it just may be like the one you have shown here. Would you mind sharing to-do-list and seasonings used for the entire steak cook?

is it possible to change fonts and size directly?
is it possible to change fonts and size directly?
The font picker in You tube demo, is not available in the version i uploaded
@beithazohar: do you see the icon with the text symbol (T)? What's happen when you click on it?
Ok i got the font picker when i click on T but in the you tube demo, the font picker seems to be a permanent window on the top left…..wich is very different…..
more, when you inset a post or an image from WP, you get non more access to the T icon…..
@beithazohar: please, check this:
1) When you insert an image, you should click "apply changes" button before perform any other thing.
2) moving the mouse over the module, must appear again the module toolbox with the module deletion, move, colors and text icons.
Please, test it and tell me if works or not...
I tried, not works…..
Ok, give me exact steps to reproduce the issue... browser version, used template, what module, etc. An screenshoot and explanation will help a lot...

Oh man, I had to finally sign up just to say that music made me laugh so damn hard!!! Did you make it yourself? If so can you put it in the audio portal? I also lolled hard at the volcano of wee baby monsters erupting from the big one's mouth.
I dunno...
Beats Gost Party at least. Smooth animations, though the loop needs a bit of work. It could have been longer too, though it was good for a quick laugh I suppose.
Not bad.
Really nice, I liked it. Nice showing what you're doing with flash. Good job.
I love it!
Woah, that was a bit crazy!
Firstly I liked the way you edited the background so that you could make some of the monsters appear behind hills and things, that was an interesting effect. The monsters themselves were great, they were really colourful and there was some crazy FBF animation going on there.
The only bad side to the animation was really just the fact that it was quite short. It actually reminded me of one of those little animations they put on MTV in between advert breaks.
Random, cute, funny, and just plain strange, are the word that best describe this.

USU football: Aggies picked to finish second in Mountain Division of Mountain West preseason polls
Matt Gade, Deseret News
Utah State football has been picked second in the Mountain Division of the 2014 Mountain West Conference preseason polls, as announced Tuesday at the league's annual Media Days held at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
Boise State was tabbed as the preseason favorite in the Mountain Division as it garnered 20 first-place votes and 183 points after finishing the 2013 season with a 6-2 MW mark (8-5 overall) and playing in the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl. USU received 12 first-place votes and 176 points for second place in the Mountain Division, followed by Colorado State, which received one first-place vote and 135 points. Wyoming was picked fourth with 90 points, followed by New Mexico (56 points) and Air Force (53 points).
Defending league champion Fresno State was the preseason favorite in the West Division with 15 first-place votes and 174 points after finishing 2013 with a 7-1 MW mark (11-2 overall) and playing in the Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl. San Diego State was second with 15 first-place votes and 172 points, while Nevada was tabbed third with three first-place votes and 130 points. UNLV was picked fourth with 95 points, followed by San Jose State (87 points) and Hawai'i (35 points).
This marks the second season of divisional play for the conference, which moved to the two, six-team divisional format in 2013 following the additions of San José State and Utah State. The two divisional winners will meet in the MW Championship Game on Dec. 6, 2014, at the home stadium of the divisional champion with the highest College Football Playoff Committee ranking.
Utah State opens its 2014 season on Sunday, Aug. 31, at Tennessee and plays its first home game the following weekend against Idaho State on Saturday, Sept. 6 at 6 p.m.
Doug Hoffman is the assistant athletic director for Utah State University Athletic Media Relations.

Display Adapter and Chipset Testing
The procedures that are presented in this section outline the process for testing your display adapter and chipset device for correct functionality with the Microsoft Windows operating system. These procedures test your product for correct functionality by using the Microsoft Windows Driver Kit (WDK) and the Driver Test Manager (DTM). To ensure full functionality, you must run all of the tests that DTM identifies as required for the device.
If the device that you are testing is multifunctional, you must complete the test procedures for each functionally independent, logical device. For example, a display adapter device that contains video input capability must complete the display tests and the video capture tests.
The test procedures in this section are divided into the following types of topics:
- Overview: The overview topics describe the hardware, software, and tester knowledge requirements.
- Preparing: The preparing topics describe how to configure the system or systems for "Designed for Windows" logo testing.
- Running: The test procedure topics describe how to run to run each test in the WDK using the DTM.
Note You must use the latest version of the WDK to compile your driver in order for it to pass testing and obtain a logo.
Display Adapter Tests
The list of tests you must run depend upon the capabilities of the device being tested. To see the complete list of tests that could be required for your device, see the display adapter category under $\WDK\Display\ in Job Explorer of the DTM.
Hardware Requirements
The following hardware is required in the machine pool for display adapter and chipset testing. This specific hardware fulfills the diversity requirements that demonstrate the stability of display drivers and chipsets:
- At least two systems for every Discrete ASIC family in the INF file that is obtaining the logo. These systems must contain:
- At least one AMD microprocessor system.
- At least one Intel system with a dual microprocessor (such as the Intel Hyper-Threading microprocessor).
- A linked display adapter (LDA) configuration to be used in the test bed for relevant display adapters.
Note Mobile and Integrated display adapters and chipsets are exempt from this requirement.
- A minimum of two adapters for every ASIC family that is supported in the INF file. One of the adapters must support dual view and have a monitor attached and enabled.
- A multi-sync display data channel standard, level 2B (DDC2B)-capable monitor with EDID 1.3 support on the test systems.
Note Testing a device to obtain a logo for Server Device qualification requires that the system being used to test the device supports four processors and a minimum of 1 GB of RAM. These system capabilities are required for the "Dynamic Partitioning (DP) Simulator and Test" and the "Multiple Processor Group" test to run. You do not need a system that actually supports DP capabilities or has greater than 64 processors to test your device.
If a pool of systems is used to test devices, at least one system in the pool must contain four processors and a minimum of 1 GB of RAM. Additionally, that system must contain the device and driver being tested. As long as the driver is the same on all systems in the pool, the schedule will be created to run against all systems.
For those tests that do not include a driver to test, such as testing a hard drive, the Driver Test Manager (DTM) scheduler will constrain the DP test to run on the default system. This system should also be manually configured to have multiple processor groups. The default system is the first one listed. Test personnel, in this case, should ensure that this first system meets these minimum hardware requirements.
Note Except for Para-Virtualization drivers (as defined by Logo Requirement Policy-0020), physical devices and their associated drivers being tested for Server Logo or Signature may not be tested in virtual machines using any form of virtualization. This is because not all virtualization products support the underlying functionality needed to pass the tests relating to Multiple Processor Groups, Device Power Management, Device PCI functionality, etc.
Software Requirements
- All display adapters and chipsets must be running the same driver version that is being submitted for a logo.
- The DisplayGroups.xml file that is located on the DTM controller must match the agreed upon Display/Chipset ASIC grouping and must be placed on each client system that you are using for the submission. For Premium logos, at least one ASIC family in DisplayGroups.xml must contain devices that all can pass the Premium tests. For more information about ASIC grouping, contact DCTTEST.
- To run the Fast User Switching (FUS) tests, make sure that the test system is not part of a domain. To verify this, right-click My Computer and click Properties. In the Computer Name tab, see if the computer is a part of a domain. If the computer is part of a domain, click Change, and then add the computer to a workgroup.
- Disable power management and password protection before you start the testing.
- For Microsoft Windows Server 2003 submissions, the client system must have the Hardware Acceleration slider set to full and be restarted before starting a submission.
- Install Microsoft Windows Media Player 10 on Windows XP systems before you run the tests.
Note While you are installing Windows Media Player 10, the test system cannot be attached to a debugger or have debugging enabled. You can obtain Windows Media Player 10 from the Windows Media Player 10 Web site, and you can automate the setup for Windows Media Play 10 with the following command: mp10setup.exe /q.
- Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 is supported.
Tester Knowledge Requirements
- Install the operating system from the product CD.
- Extend the desktop to a secondary display.

Enabling rich human-agent interaction for a calendar scheduling agent
A calendar is a system of organizing days for social, religious, commercial, or administrative purposes. This is done by giving names to periods of time, typically days, weeks, months, and years. A date is the designation of a single, specific day within such a system. Periods in a calendar (such as years and months) are usually, though not necessarily, synchronized with the cycle of the sun or the moon.

As seen on HBO
Ben Cross (Chariots of Fire) and Amy Irving (Crossing Delancey) star in this haunting love story set against the spectacular sweep of battle, treachery, and intrigue in the India of the British Raj.
Born to British parents but raised as Indian, Ashton Pelham-Martyn returns to India as a young military officer, where he fights both local unrest and the cultural prejudices of society. Struggling to reconcile his place in two different worlds, he finds happiness with his childhood sweetheart, Indian princess Anjuli--but she is promised to marry another man. From the snowcapped peaks of the Himalayas to the fabled palaces of Bhithor, M.M. Kaye's evocative novel is brought to life in this stunning and lavish production.
The all-star cast also features Christopher Lee (The Lord of the Rings), Omar Sharif (Lawrence of Arabia), Rupert Everett (The Importance of Being Earnest), and Sir John Gielgud (Gandhi).

Returning to India many years later as a young man, Ash becomes a part of a British regiment called the Guides. He has some difficulties adjusting, as he is not an Englishman comfortable in his own skin, as he also feels that is Indian in many ways, a view that brings him into conflict with the way the native Indian population is viewed by the British. Meanwhile, Anjuli has continued living as a half caste Indian princess. She and Ash have not seen each other since he and his foster Indian mother fled, and she has no idea that Ash is not Indian, but British.
The film is an amazing cornucopia of adventure, derring do, and romance. It provides a tantalizing glimpse into colonial India. All of this, however, merely serves to propel the story towards the uniting of Ash and Anjuli, as the film is, first and foremost, a love story set against the romantic and lush backdrop of colonial India. When the paths of these star crossed lovers intersect, it is under a most unusual set of circumstances. It is a story that will keep the viewer riveted to the screen.Read more ›
PAVILIONS was partially shot the state of Jaipur in India and many of the buildings shown in various scenes date from the Mogul dynasty. In case you don't know, the Moguls reigned before the British came to India in the 1600s. I'm sure the buildings destroyed in the fighting scenes between Afghans and British and Indian soldiers were sets, but they too are quite good.
The shots of the marriage procession from Rawalpindi displays a cast of hundreds with plenty of livestock including gaily painted elephants. When one of the princesses says she's sick from riding in the royal litter mounted on the back of an elephant I can see why. The darn things bobble about like corks on a wind-swept pond. The marriage journey takes several days and includes Indian-style camping scenes that are both frightening and intriguing. I was sure someone was going to be stomped by one of those big elephant feet, but true to form the British soldier (Ashe) takes charge and gets the camp sqared away.
In spite of the fine cinematograpy, I can't give the DVD 5 stars. PAVILIONS is a fluffy action/romance tale not high art. Sorry if that sounds snobby, but JEWEL IN THE CROWN ruined me. That's the reason you should never read good literature--it ruins you for the "good read' which I am sure PAVILION is. So, if you enjoyed the book you will probably love the DVD.
I found the plot incredibly predictable and thin. Ashe/Ashtok and Anjuli have far too much access to each other.Read more ›

By Dr. Debra Jan Bibel - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Audio CD
Very few recordings of indigenous Brazilian and Amazonian Indians are available, and this particular one, originally issued in 1989 and reissued in 2000, is again out of print. The Bororo people are from the 1,000-foot uplands of south-central Brazil near Paraguay in Mato Grosso. This ethnographic documentary recording centers on a funeral, which lasts days and includes chants, games, and a closing hunt. Rattles are the main instrument, although a dull drum and flute are also used. Bull-roarers are part of a rite. The longest track is also the most interesting, lasting almost 42 minutes, composed of excerpts of a day-long chant that includes many permutations(strophes) of syllables. Because of the variation, the track does not become tedious. These natives and those of other regions had a small but important influence in the general music of Brazil, of which European, Portuguese, and especially West African forms and instruments contributed. The notes explain the rites and offer extensive information on Bororo society, cosmology, instruments, and chants. The album may yet again be reissued, but until then, I recommend a search.

I love this CD. Unless you are already familiar with Amazonian music this is nothing like music you've ever heard before. The chants and rhythms are haunting. The vocalists are inspiring and magical. This is REAL unadulterated indigenous music. I feel fortunate to have this CD in my collection.
