text: Killer Instinct Moves - Platform: Super Nintendo Regular Moves/ Special Moves/ Combos/ Ultras/ No Mercy (Fatalities) Submitted by: Gulshan Saini ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Basics ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Legend -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= QP = L QK = R FP = X FK = A MK = B MP = Y =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Combos =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Combos are multiple hit moves that are executed by using a button combination after using a special move as an opener. It is (at this point) beyond the scope of this guide to give the button combinations for combos. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ultra and Ultimate Combos =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= These only work when your enemy?s health bar is flashing red. These basically allow you to beat the **** out of your foe, after he is almost dead. An ultra combo lands 20 hits; and ultimate combo scores less hits, but leads into the danger move. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Danger Moves =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= After eliminating an enemy, what is more fun then brutally killing his character? Danger Moves are done once the screen begins flashing red, and the announcer starts saying ?DANGER! DANGER!? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Humiliations =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Actually, there is something more enjoyable then a danger move! This makes the vanquished foe start dancing to some goofy music! This can be a nice way to tick off the other player. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Pop-Ups =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= When you are about to be killed with a danger move or humiliation, start frantically pressing buttons, to pop back up, for one last attempt to kill your foe. This is really annoying for the other player, obviously. It is not recommended that you do this to someone bigger then you. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Jago ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Special Moves =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Endokuken: Down, Down-Toward, Toward + any punch The Endokuken attack will send a green fireball at an enemy from long range. Wind Kick: Down-Toward, Down, Down-Back + MK or FK The kick will work well as an opener, and makes you invincible to projectiles when using it. Laser Blade: Down-Toward, Down, Down-Back + FP The Laser Blade is used to stab your enemy with a sword; this is particularly useful giving you the necessary time to start a combo. Tiger Fury: Toward, Down, Down-Toward This is a rather nasty uppercut that will knock your enemy off his feet. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Danger Moves =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Danger Move #1: Back, Toward, Toward, QP This move will give your enemy the point, by stabbing him in the stomach with your sword. Danger Move #2: Back, Back, Toward, Toward Even better, this results in a car crashing on top of your opponent! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Humiliation =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Toward, Down-Toward, Down, Down-Back, Back, MK ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. T. J. Combo ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Special Moves =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Knee K.O.: (Back), Toward, + any kick This works as an opener or an ender. Spinfist: (Back), Toward, QP This is a somewhat predictable opener. Reverse Spinfist: (Toward), Back, QP Rollercoaster: (Back), Toward, MP If you charge this move for 4 seconds, it will result in 4 hits. Cyclone: Charge FP and release Because this requires time to charge up the FP, this works best with stunned opponents. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Danger Moves =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Danger Move #1: Back, Toward, Toward, MP Chances are that enemy is suffering from some back pain; why not fix it by breaking his spine with this move! Danger Move #2: Down, Down-Toward, Toward, FK Or, you can decide to hurl your beaten foe against the screen. SPLAT! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Humiliation =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Down, Down, QP ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. B. Orchid ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Special Moves =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Flik Flak: (Back), Toward, + MK or FK This works as an opener and a combo breaker. Fire Cat: (Back), Toward, MP or QP This transforms you into a large cat, and protects you from incoming projectiles. Ichi Ni-San: Down-Toward, Down, Down-Back This also works as an opener. Lasaken: Down, Down-Toward, Toward, Any punch Yet another weird name. This projectile is good for keeping your enemy away from you. Niguu Giri: Down-Toward, Down, Down-Back, FP This cartwheel will knock an enemy off his feet. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Danger Moves =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Danger Move #1: Down, Toward, Back, QP This move turns your opponent into a frog; squish it with a Fierce Kick. Danger Move #2: Back, Back, Toward, Toward, QP Wow. This will make your opponent die happy. Lets just say that Orchid shows some, em, things to the opponent, apparently resulting in a fatal heart attack. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Humiliation =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Toward, Down-Toward, Down, Down-Back, Back, FP ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Chief Thunder ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Special Moves =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Triplax: (Back), Toward, any punch This can be used as an opener, usually as a Fierce Triplax (which is slow and predictable). Tomahawk: Down, Down-Back, Back, FP This opener is done in mid-air, and can be hard to do. Sammamish: Toward, Down-Toward, Down, Down-Back, Back, QP This move will knock an enemy of his feet, and serves as a combo breaker. Phoenix: Down, Down-Toward, Toward, any kick This projectile?s altitude can be changed by pressing up or down after firing it. Reverse Triplax: (Toward), Back, MP =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Danger Moves =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Danger Move #1: Down, Down-Toward, Toward, FP Using this move, Thunder summons some lightning to give a headache that no aspirin will fix. Danger Move #2: Down, Down-Back, Back, FK =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Humiliation =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Down, Down, Toward, QK ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Fulgore ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Special Moves =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Laser Storm: Down, Down-Toward, Toward, Any punch You can use variations of this to shoot multiple shots. Cyberdash: (Back), Toward This is Fulgore?s easiest opener. Eyelaser: Down-Toward, Down, Down-Back, FK This will shoot a small beam from your face, and is for close quarters only. Plasma- Port: Back, Down, Down-Back, Any button This lets you teleport towards your enemy; pressing a kick puts you behind him, and pushing a punch will put you in front of him. Plasmalice: Toward, Down, Down-Toward, FP This is an uppercut that will knock an enemy of his feet. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Danger Moves =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Danger Move #1: Down, Down-Toward, Toward, FK Fulgore removes his mask, and blasts away an opponent. Danger Move #2: Down, Down-Back, Back, FP For this move, Fulgore fries his enemy with a laser. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Humiliation =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Back, Down-Back, Down, Down-Towards, Towards, MK ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. Riptor ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Special Moves =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Riptor Rage: (Back), Toward, Any punch This lets you charge at your enemy and knock your enemy of his feet. Tail Flip: Down-Towards, Down, Down-Back, Any kick This works well as a close-quarter opener. Jump Rake: (Back), Towards, MK or QK This is a good opener for long combos. Dragon Breath: Down-Towards, Back-Towards, FP A projectile that will toast your enemy. Flaming Venom: Down, Down-Back, Back, Any punch This is another projectile attack. Reverse Jump Rake: (Towards), Back, QK This move works as an opener or a linker. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Danger Moves =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Danger Move #1: Back, Down-Back, Down, Down-Towards, Towards, MP Riptor has probably gotten hungry, so why not chow down on your opponents bloody corpse! Num-Nums! Danger Move #2: Back, Back, MK Use this to reduce your enemy, thanks to acidic projectiles. Danger Move #3: Towards, Towards, Back, FK This whacks your enemy with your tail. =-=-=-=-=-=-= Humiliation =-=-=-=-=-=-= Down, Toward, Toward, FP ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. Sabrewulf ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Special Moves =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Sabrepounce: (Back), Toward, FK This is a good attack, but it is easily countered. Sabrecut: (Back), Towards, MK Sabreroll: (Back), Towards, QK This works best at close range. Sabrespin: (Back), Towards, Any punch This opener is good for beginners. Flaming Bat: Down, Down-Back, Back, Any punch This is a projectile attack. Howl: Down-Towards, Down, Down-Back, FK This can super-charge some attacks, but you are vulnerable while doing this. Reverse Sabrespin: (Towards), Back, MP This is another good opener. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Danger Moves =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Danger Move #1: Back, Back, MK This move is used at close quarters, and lets you sharpen your claws on your opponent. Danger Move #2: Back, Toward, Toward, MP This move lets you toss the enemy into the TV screen. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9. Spinal ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spinal is an incredibly hard player to master, but he can be great once you do. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Special Moves =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Boneshaker: Toward, Toward, Any punch This attack is easy to use, and easy for the enemy to spot. Soulsword: (Back), Toward, MP This is effective at close range. Footslide: Down-Back, Down, Down-Towards, FK This powerful attack works well as an opener. Reverse Soulsword: (Toward), Back, MP Power Devour: (Back), QP This is used to absorb power from an enemy?s projectiles. Searing Skull: Down, Down-Towards, Towards, Any punch You must absorb energy to use this projectile attack. Super Searing Skull: Back, Down-Back, Down, Down-Towards, Towards, FP This attack uses 2-3 moves worth of absorbed energy. Skeleport: Down, Down, Any Kick (Behind) Down, Down, Any Punch (In front) Hold QP or QK, and press Up, Down, Down, and release (In air) This lets you teleport to the named positions. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Danger Moves =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Danger Move #1: Back, Back, Back, MK Summon up lightning, and reduce your enemy to ashes. Danger Move #2: Back, Back, Towards, QK A long spike appears from your shield, and turns your enemy into shish kabob. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Humiliation =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Toward, Down-Toward, Down, Down-Back, Back, FK ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10. Glacius ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Special Moves =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Cold Shoulder: (Back), Towards, Any punch This charge move is easily blocked. Liquidize: Down, Down-Towards, Toward, MK This teleport move is especially nasty when combined with an uppercut. Shockwave: Down, Down-Towards, Towards, Any punch This sends blue bolt that bounces along the ground. Ice Lance: Down-Toward, Down, Down-Back, QP This turns your arm into a blade for a painful uppercut. This looks like a rip-off of one of the attacks the T-1000 in T2 used. =-=-=-=-=-=-= Danger Moves =-=-=-=-=-=-= Danger Move #1: Back, Back, Back, FK This move lets you use your morphing abilities to liquefy your enemy. Danger Move #2: Back, Down-Back, Down, Down-Toward, Toward, MP This move injects the opponent with something that turns him to ice. =-=-=-=-=-=-= Humiliation =-=-=-=-=-=-= Toward, Toward, Back, QK ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11. Cinder ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cinder is probably the easiest character to master, and is good for beginners. =-=-=-=-=-=-= Special Moves =-=-=-=-=-=-= Trailblazer: Toward, Toward, Any punch This attack makes it ridiculously easy to string together combos. Heatfist: Back, Back, QP This works only at close range. Fireflash: Toward, Down, Down-Toward, Any kick This difficult attack sends your enemy flying. Dash: (Back), Toward, MP or FP This is very similar to the Trailblazer. Heatsink: Toward, Down-Toward, Down, Down-Back, Back, FP This makes you temporarily invisible. Mirage: Toward, Down-Toward, Down, Down-Back, Back, MP This protects you from projectiles until you get hit. Inferno: Toward, Toward, Any kick This will leave you open to attacks after you register a few hits. =-=-=-=-=-=-= Danger Moves =-=-=-=-=-=-= Danger Move #1: Back, Back, Back, MP This melts your opponent into a pool of flames. Danger Move #2: Down, Down-Toward, Toward, QK This move turns your enemy into ashes. =-=-=-=-=-=-= Humiliation =-=-=-=-=-=-= Back, Back, FK ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12. Eyedol ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eyedol can only be gained with a code, and is horribly slow unless you learn to master his special moves. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Special Moves =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Club Swing: Back, Toward, FP This works well for deflecting most air attacks. Head Charge: Back, Toward, QP This is fast, powerful, and predictable. Forward Jump: Back, Toward, QK Fireball: Down, Down-Toward, Toward, Any punch Stomp Jump: Back, Toward, MK or FK Foot Stomp: Back, MP This attack gives you an energy boost and powers up some attacks; it will make your head charge extra fast or let you fire 3 fireballs at once. (Eyedol has no known Danger Moves or Humiliations) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13. Codes ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Play as Eyedol -------------- Select Cinder as your character. At the Vs. Screen, press QK, QP, FP, MK, MP, FK. The announcer will then say, ?Eyedol!? Speed Codes ----------- This codes are entered at the Vs. screen, and will cause a punching sound if entered correctly. In 2-Player, both players must enter them. Slow Speed: Hold Left, + R, A, B Fast Speed: Hold Right, + L, X, Y Faster Speed: Hold Right, + R, A, B Fastest Speed: Hold Left, + L, X, Y Easy Combo Breakers ------------------- Hold down and press start at the Vs. screen; the announcer will say ?Combo Breakers!? Music/Stage Select ------------------ These are pressed when selecting a character; Player 1 selects the stage, and Player 2 selects the music. Up + L = Ice Temple Up + R = Castle Roof Up + X = Ice Sculpture Up + A = Desert Roof Up + B = City Roof Down + L = Canyon Bridge Down + R = City Street Down + X = Lava Pit Down + Y = Bloody Arena Down + A = Factory Down + B = Fireplace Down + B (both controllers) = Sky Platform

Empress Crescent , looking east from Dowling Avenue and Lake Shore Boulevard West, 1956. Photo by James Salmon. Toronto Public Library, R-912.
Construction on the Lakeshore Expressway began on April Fools' Day 1955, and concentrated on the stretch between the Humber and Jameson Avenue. Around 150 homes were demolished to make way for the expressway and its related projects, mostly in south Parkdale around Dowling Avenue and Jameson Avenue. Streets like Empress Crescent vanished from city maps. When the Globe and Mail printed pictures of the rubble left behind by demolitions in 1957, it described the scene as "ruins reminiscent of a Second World War bombing raid."

A Richmond Hill father was arrested and charged with violating Leandra's Law last week after he allegedly drove his SUV drunk on the Rockaway boardwalk with six children inside, the Queens district attorney said.
Renato Bernal, 41, of 129th Street, was arraigned Sept. 1 on reckless endangerment, driving under the influence, child endangerment and other charges in the Aug. 31 incident, DA Richard Brown said. Bernal was in his Ford Explorer with six children, between 7 and 16, on the boardwalk at Beach 73rd Street around 1:30 a.m. and allegedly went on a wild drunk ride that nearly hurt a bystander, according to Brown.
"It's a miracle that no one was killed," he said in a statement.
Queens Criminal Court Judge Toko Serita set bail at a $7,500 bond or $5,000 cash and ordered Bernal to return to court next Monday, the DA's office said. If convicted, he faces up to seven years in prison, according to Brown.
Bernal was charged with violating Leandra's Law, which prohibits drivers from operating a vehicle under the influence with a child 15 years old or younger inside. The law was named after Leandra Rosado, an 11-year-old girl who was killed last year in a drunk driving crash.
Bernal allegedly nearly hit a pedestrian on the boardwalk and argued with him before driving off, according to Brown. A police officer found the motorist at the corner of Beach 108th Street and Shore Front Parkway with bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and a strong smell of alcohol on his breath, the DA said.
The father allegedly told the officer, "I was not driving anywhere near the boardwalk, I have been parked for 20 minutes, I didn't have anything to drink," according to the DA.
An intoxilyzer test indicated that Bernal had a blood alcohol content of .122 percent, which is over the .08 percent limit in New York state, Brown said.

MUC Collaborative, "Idiomatic Road Interventions"
Kicked the Bucket (English) – to die
I'm not hanging noodles on your ears (Russian) – I'm not joking
Cleaner than a frog's armpit (Spanish) – to be poor
Idioms are a peculiar form of non-literal language that can spark your imagination and tap into the illogical functions of your brain. These cryptic language puzzles are solvable only if you already know the answer in advance. Idiomatic expressions are odd, but far from the periphery of language. People everywhere on earth express themselves this way—they are central to how we communicate. Based on his research, linguist Steven Pinker believes that we have as many idioms in our long-term memory as we have words.
MUC's "Idiomatic Road Interventions," likens the twists and turns of LA's Mulholland Drive to the unexpected and sudden turns of meaning in idiomatic phrases. Keep an eye out for idiom banner interventions on the roadside, the hillside, and in the treetops as you traverse this historical urban-rural cruising derive. You'll find short spurts of humor, inspiration, and other oddities just around the bend!

She may be an innocent young girl fit to play the title character, Anastasia Steele, in the movie adaptation of E.L. James' best-selling erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey, but Selena Gomez thinks she may be a little too innocent to star in such a sex-driven film.
Selena admits she has read some of the first book in the trilogy and it's definitely made her cheeks a bit rosy!
"I only read the beginning of it, because when they told me about the skit, I didn't know what it was about," Selena told MTV News, referring to the short video she did for Funny or Die. "So I started to read it, and I was like, 'Oh, this is spicy.' So I thought it was good, it was intriguing. Obviously, it's working, so the skit was really funny."
Although her name has been thrown in the mix of who should play Christian Grey's leading lady, Selena, who turns 20 in July, feels she's way out of her league with this one.
"I don't think so," she said of whether she'd audition for the role. "I know I'm taking risks, but I don't think I could do that! That would be a little too much for me. I think someone older should do that part."
We're sure her beau, Justin Bieber, is happy with Selena's decision! But who should play Anastasia and Christian? Let us know your thoughts!

Foreign leaders must not support the PA in its bid to unilaterally establish a state in Judea and Samaria, a group of bereaved parents said Friday. The parents, members of the "Three Fathers" group, have written to 40 foreign ambassadors and warned them against PA efforts to get the United Nations on its side.
"You and your country are being approached to approve and declare your support of a unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state," the group wrote. "We, the Three Fathers, are concerned that such a step on your country's behalf and from the Palestinians is going to throw the country and the region into yet another wave of clashes and terror attacks, retaliations and re-retaliations that will cause both sides great harm."
The writers stated that they support negotiations, and are working for "a secure future" for all residents of the region - "Palestinians and Israelis, Christians and Muslims as Jews."
However, they continued, a unilateral declaration of statehood would not accomplish that. "Unilateral negotiations prove you don't want to negotiate... Unilateral action proves you want to force the other side to do something he doesn't want to do."
Israel's famous unilateral action, the 2005 Disengagement, clearly backfired, they said. "The Disengagement brought years of rockets to the Israeli side and 'Cast Lead' to the Palestinian side."
They also noted that the so-called "green line," the 1949 armistice line, "doesn't exist anymore," particularly in regions where the population has grown dramatically, such as the Jerusalem area. Those countries that support a PA state on all land east of the armistice line are ignoring the reality on the ground, the group said.
PA Arabs, as well as Israelis, have built thousands of houses along the "green line," and accepting the line as a border would mean the PA needs to uproot tens of thousands of people, they pointed out.
While support for a unilateral PA state is ill-advised, there is much the international community can do to promote peace and the diplomatic process, they said. Examples the group gave included putting sanctions on Iran, to prevent it from developing nuclear weapons and thus creating regional instability, preventing Gaza terrorists from firing rockets on Israeli civilians, and ending incitement in PA schools to kill Israelis.
Bereaved Parents Warn Against Unilateral PA State
Parents of children murdered by terrorists warn foreign ambassadors against proposed unilateral PA state.

I made a start on a N2PK VNA last night. I had a spare PCB and parts from a group buy back in 2005.
Just a couple dozen of the discrete C fitted so far.
I have a new PC motherboard arriving tomorrow for a quad CPU I have and the motherboard has a native LPT port and COM port and I will build the system just for the test bench as I will also run a digital oscilloscope and other various com and lpt based test kit with it.
I also have the newer N2PK V5 PCB http://www.makarov.ca/vna_v5.htm arriving soon which has a second detector and can plug into a USB port. I'll build up both versions side by side and probably compare them... then apart from the other builds I really must advance some more on the PIC-A-STAR's.
Now where did I put all those SMA connectors?....

Arrow Keys - Move / Aim
Z - Shoot
X - Jump
C - Change Weapons
Spacebar - Pause / Open Map
You can also use WASD to move and JKL to shoot/jump/change weapons, however on some browsers/keyboards you may run into issues with too many keys being pressed at once, nothing I can do about that.
If you have a PC Gamepad, I highly recommend using the Joy2Key Software. You can download it: here: http://bit.ly/NCx4h
Saving - Progress through the stage is saved automatically at every major checkpoint. If you have to leave and come back, your progress will still be there!
Bugs - If you do find a bug, please report it to me via PM. Be as descriptive as you can, I can't fix things if I don't know what went wrong!
Sticky Keys Bug - If the keys feel like they're sticking, character keeps running after you let go, please read the third post in this thread: http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1123318
This is a bug with some browsers/systems and there's really nothing I can do to fix it.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
the controls are nuts if you come from germany ... z and y are swapped -_- and somehow it's not possible to change to an american keyboard setting (like i do normaly)
pretty difficult for me to play but i'm havin fun anyway^^
oh and great underwater boss (that giant shell thing)!
Challenging fight and i love the music of that battle.
There are two control setups, try using WASD to move and JKL for attack/jump/weapon?
Rated 3 / 5 stars
pretty good
still dont know what all the hype is about. there should definitly be check points. and more fluid movment.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Excellent addition to the series
Enjoying the game for its playability and excellent soundtrack, I can't wait to see the next episode, it's been a fun collection so far, and I like the little twists here and there in each part.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
got to love these games. love ya Rina chan
you people make my world a little brighter: )

Hi. I bought the aelita from the previous poster. I started my interest for this synth 2 years ago, but all the ones i found for sell where for about 500$ or 600$ in nethederland or Russia. Well i don´t got any vinculation with soviet synths, just like some old artist and movies from the Ussr era. In my opinion Soviet synths are for music the same than Lomo cameras/lens for fotography. The first who took my attemption was the unique artwork design, i think it´s full of charisma and everybody who steps on my studio ask me about it. A 18 kg machine, solid like a stone, big and heavy. Specification are well detailed by Esco from Finland, i´d just like to say that it´s very hard to find a 3 vco´s machine for 300? here in spain, and thi´s a real deal in analog forgotten treasures, even much better than other analog gear i bought with a higher price. Sound is simply amazing if you like fat machines, very very very powerfull but warm at the time, and the unison is very usefull for my music, or just to experiment new sound with the 3 oscillators, vibrato and the rest of the features. Aelita is an oblivious lady, maybe not so known in books, bands or collectors. This make it still accessible for good price if you´re lucky to find one. but i should say it will become popular with the time, and it will probably become more expensive, or at least keep as a secret beatifull weapon missed.

I don't know what the previous posters talk about here. It seems, that they haven't even tried the synthesizer out, at least they can't say anything significant about it, except for some shit about the doorbell(I'm looking at my Aelita right now, I guess you should take tons of acid to see a doorbell there).I can say, that Aelita is surprisingly well designed and built and even the keys are half-weighted(which is very rare for soviet synthesizers, I also own a Polivoks and Estradin and both synths have terrible keyboards). Aelita has a lot of neat features for a "toy synth"(as the previous poster said): four oscillators(three+sub), creamy filter, 2 envelopes, hard sync function, pwm, asignable LFO with variable waveshape, wierd unison mode and much more. The sound is very warm and bright and has it's own special charisma, which is the most important quality of the synth in my opinion. Highly recommended!

Now there is a limited edition 1:32 die cast of the Volt that can be purchased. Part of me wants to think that Chevy is testing the waters to see how many people would be, um, die hard enough Volt fans to warrant a purchase of a die cast replica of the non-existent 'lectric sedan. Only 7,500 models were made by Bburago, and each unit has a very collector's edition $14 price tag. Anybody out there interested? Anybody? Come on Lutz, tell me that you have bought one.

Great place to stay, nice neighborhood.
As advertised (I got the exact room portrayed in the picture), nice and clean. Welcoming and accommodating host, the neighborhood was not particularly noisy (at least not more than expected)
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.

This is a cosy little apartment in a very quiet location. We had everything we needed for a very pleasant stay. The kitchen was very small so not suitable if you want to do your own cooking but if like us you only want to make tea and coffee it is perfect. Thanks to Carmen for meeting us with the keys and being so helpful.
Nearly perfect weekend.. Only missed the Sun..
The host was very accommodating, and available for key pick up and everything i might need. The area is close to the city center, so there are some bad apples around but also a nice area close by, so pretty much take it since you can just get anywhere from there since public transport is so close. would totally recommend.
Апартаменты находятся недалеко от метро, и продуктовых магазинов.
Район тихий. Номер очень простой. Стиральной машины нет. Постоянно есть запахи приготовления пищи.
The apartments are located close to the U-Bahn S-bahn, and grocery stores.
The area is quiet. The room is very simple. No washing machine. There is always a smell of cooking.
Nice and clean, without a glitch in the organization.
Had a horrible experience staying in this place. Firstly, check in is only available after 3pm but the office closes at 5pm. The toilet flush and wifi was not working at all when my friends and I arrived and we tried calling all the provided numbers but none could be reached. We had to just sit and wait for over an hour for the housekeeping lady. However, as soon as the office was reached they provided us with keys to another apartment which enabled us to use the wifi and toilet. But overall the place is old and not cosy at all.

If you are a single parent and your ex refuses to pay child support, you may be at your wit's end trying to collect the child support owed your children. It is a frustrating, long process if you are dealing with a deadbeat who works off the books, hides money or moves from state to state.
The child support enforcement agencies can only do so much and they are overloaded with cases. Private investigators are expensive and you may feel like you have reached a dead end.
I recently found a website that may help you in tracking down your ex and finding the evidence you need to collect the back support owed. EmailRevealer.com has a few services that are affordable and can give you the proof you need to bring your ex back into family court. Here are a few of the services that can help:
1. A background check. For $99.00 they will give you, addresses (10 Years),a list of relatives ,assets ,judgments, liens lawsuits, bankruptcies and UCC filings
2. Locating a current employer. The price for this service is not listed on the site. If you provide a social security number, address and name, they can find the current employer your ex is working for.
3. Asset Search. This one is pricey at $399.00 but you will get a complete list of your ex's assets including:
Real Estate
Investments: Stocks / Bonds/Mutual Funds
Bank Accounts: Checking and Savings
Trust Accounts
The company also lists email trace reports and many other services on their website. If you find any information on your ex that can help you in the collection of child support, you should either file a motion at your family court or if your case is handle by a state child support enforcement agency, contact your case worker and turn the information over.
Remember, you must be persistent. That may mean calling your case worker every few days so that your case dos not get lost in the shuffle. The state agencies can also do searches for bank accounts and employers for you for free, but they are slow and it can take a considerable amount of time to get results.

Batman: the Dark Knight, the Caped Crusader, …the Uber Driver? (video)
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice might be getting some bad reviews, but Uber Batman is getting 5 stars.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice might be getting some bad reviews, but Uber Batman is getting 5 stars.
We all knew it was too good to be true, but we wanted to believe!
What makes a prank a "good" prank? Well, for me it needs to be creative, simple, funny and for the most part, harmless. This prank here seems to meet all of the criteria for a perfect prank.
Way before there was a thing called YouTube and an unlimited amount of wannabe comedians, Tom Mabe was making a career out of being a prankster. His most recent "prank" also appears to be his most popular one.
Okay, I realize Halloween was a week ago, but I'm just now getting around to sharing this video with you. And something like this is gonna be funny anytime of year.
Here's another example of a really well done prank. A really simple concept and execution - no one gets hurt and no one feels like their life is really in danger - but folks do get the crap scared out of them!
This prank/video was put together in an attempt to further promote the release of the new Carrie remake (coming out on October 18th). And it obviously worked, because here I am sharing it with you and, in turn, promoting the release of the movie.
After concerns surfaced about a Facebook post, a student was suspended from a Georgia High School. The post was related to the teen's plan to spread holiday cheer among his fellow students.
The guys that put together this video have also done several other prank videos...most of them are pretty good. Maybe I'm becoming a prude in my old age, but what makes a prank good for me is when it's funny (duh), relatively harmless, and when the "victims" can laugh at it as well.
Just a few months ago you could dress up in your best zombie apparel, and go out on the streets with people thinking you were just a weirdo. But after a dude high on bath salts ate the face of a homeless man in Miami, people are a little more on edge when it comes to zombies.
I am NOT a big fan of pranks/videos in which parents really scare the crap out of their kids. To me, that's just mean, and a bit cruel. This prank, on the other hand, is pretty funny. It's innocent, nobody gets hurt, and the kid's reaction is pretty funny.
Last month TV host Jimmy Kimmel asked parents to play a prank on their kids. In a clip that went viral, parents told their children they had eaten their Halloween candy and recorded the reactions. Now just in time for the holidays, Kimmel had another prank ready to go.

These Numbers Have Faces Scholars in Rwanda recently completed the final training session of their 3-part leadership training program. Training sessions covered: Entrepreneurship 101, Financial Literacy and Leadership Development & Goal Setting. The trainings were dynamic and required the students to actively participate in the session discussions and exercises.
The students' first training module covered Entrepreneurship. They learned the basics for developing a successful business idea. Through their group exercises, they identified business opportunities; including a saloon (hair stylist/barber shop) and a public transportation company as both of these business are limited in the area of their homes. Their trainer stated:
The second training session covered Financial Literacy. After discussing the basics of how to choose a bank and open an account, much time was dedicated to the necessity of creating a budget and the importance of saving. The students received templates to create their own budget and were encouraged to prioritize saving for emergencies and future dreams. They were challenged with an exercise: keep track of everything they spent on for a week, in order to discover what are necessity items and how to help avoid impulse purchases.
The final training was on Leadership and Goal Setting. The students were taught: "Setting goals gives you long-term vision and short-term motivation." They were guided on how to set goals in the areas of: education, career, finances and family. Their training provided key suggestions on how to choose goals that are measurable, attainable and relevant!
All training sessions were conducted through a partnership with our new friend John Gasangwa of Inkomoko. John's statement about thetraining:
The students enjoyed these sessions so much that they asked John to return again soon to train them on project planning and business plan development.
They've been empowered and they're ready to be leaders! Watch out Rwanda!

A couple of days ago, as part of our year-end coverage, we named Jessica Chastain as our Woman of the Year, and it was an easy decision to make; no one's been as omnipresent, or given as many different, and excellent, turns, as Chastain did. But our man of the year was slightly more difficult to choose. Should it be Matt Damon, who cropped up in five major releases, including Steven Soderbergh's "Contagion?" Hmm…no. Damon's "Happy Feet Two" shrimp partner Brad Pitt, who fought to get both "The Tree of Life" and "Moneyball" made, to tremendous results? No. Ryan Gosling, who embraced stardom at long last with a trio of performances in "Crazy Stupid Love," "Drive" and "The Ides of March?" George Clooney, who directed the latter and starred in Alexander Payne's "The Descendants?" No.
Instead, we went for a man whose roles in 2011 have varied from a Holocaust-surviving mutant to a brooding 19th century gent, from a repressed, buttoned-down legend of psychoanalysis to a troubled sex addict. It is, of course, 34-year-old Irish-German actor Michael Fassbender, who, after years of verging on true stardom, finally became something of an A-lister in the last few months.
We spoke to the actor a few days ago to tell him he was our man of the year, and he told us he feels that his 2011 has been a question of the stars aligning at the right time. "Thank you very much! I just feel like I'm in a very lucky position, I'm glad. It's a 1% position that I'm in, being in the right place at the right time. Luck, you know. I just love telling stories, I love hearing stories and may it continue, touch wood."
While his star has been on the ascent for a few years now, it's hard not to argue that it's been a long time coming. He trained at the top London drama school Drama Centre (where, remarkably, he was a contemporary of fellow freshly-minted A-lister Tom Hardy), but dropped out, finding the program didn't focus enough on film for his tastes. It didn't matter too much, though. Like Hardy, he was swiftly cast in HBO series "Band of Brothers," which provided the big breaks for an entire generation of U.K-based actors, from Damian Lewis and Simon Pegg to James McAvoy and Stephen Graham). From then, he worked pretty solidly in TV, including a regular gig in "Hex," a short-lived British take on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," a recurring role on James Nesbitt-starring Irish undercover cop drama "Murphy's Law," as a psychotic gangster, and as the legendary gunpowder plotter Guy Fawkes in Jimmy McGovern's miniseries "Gunpowder, Treason & Plot," alongside Robert Carlyle, Kevin McKidd and Clemence Poesy.
It took him a while to get to his big-screen debut in 2007, but he arrived in a big way. Fassbender starred alongside Romola Garai in Francois Ozon's English-language "Angel," and also cropped up as one of the Spartans in Zack Snyder's "300." His part, Stelios, wasn't a huge one, but he got prime placement in the trailer, which helped to raise his profile, and more and more film work followed soon after, including horror flicks "Blood Creek" and "Eden Lake" and, crucially, the lead role in Steve McQueen's "Hunger," a grueling part that saw him win plaudits all over the shop, including a British Independent Film Award. It also got him the attention of Quentin Tarantino, who cast him as scene-stealer Lt. Archie Hicox when Simon Pegg had to drop out over a scheduling clash with "Star Trek," and Andrea Arnold, for whom he played skeezy boyfriend Connor in "Fish Tank," while his first action lead followed in 2010 in Neil Marshall's "Centurion." Oh, and he played John Malkovich's bowler-hatted sidekick in "Jonah Hex," but we're trying to forget about that, and we're sure Fassbender is too…
"After 'Inglourious Basterds' I went and did 'Centurion' and then 'Jonah Hex,' and then I didn't do anything for about six months," Fassbender told us. But that brief rest period was followed by a flurry of activity that led to four films being released this year. "Last year, everything was busier," Fassbender said, "it's just this year, everything's coming out, so up until July, I was working pretty much flat out."
First up was Cary Fukunaga's "Jane Eyre," not Fassbender's first brush with Bronte; he was previously attached to star in John Maybury's aborted version of "Wuthering Heights," opposite Abbie Cornish a couple of years ago. But he couldn't be more suited to play Mr. Rochester; chilly yet passionate, prickly yet tragic, and his chemistry with Mia Wasikowska's Jane was impressive. Not long after came his blockbuster coming-out party, opposite James McAvoy as Magneto in "X-Men First Class." While the film's hurried post-production schedule occasionally stymies the finished product, the actor was easily the stand-out, channeling Connery-as-Bond in the film's highlight, the Nazi-hunting section, while also making sure that Erik's shift to the dark side was born out of pain and hurt, rather than inevitability.
And then came a duo of Venice debuts. He's solid in David Cronenberg's "A Dangerous Method" as Carl Jung, but it's arguably the least notable of the four performances in 2011 (principally because there's not a great deal on the page). But he more than made up for it in the other Lido-bound film, "Shame," his reunion with Steve McQueen. Fassbender arguably delivers the performance of his career to date as Brandon, a New Yorker with a sex addiction who tries to build a genuine relationship with a co-worker (Nicole Berahie), while his troubled past comes back to haunt him when his sister (Carey Mulligan) returns. It's an astonishingly raw performance, less showy than Bobby Sands in "Hunger" but just as powerful, and it looks increasingly likely to see him pick up his first Oscar nomination.
As Fassbender tells it, there was never any design to his back-to-back roles, "I don't plan, rarely do I plan anything out. You have an idea of what you're looking for but they just came up one after the other, it seemed like too much of a good opportunity to turn down. So I did six films in 20 months, that's just the way it happened." But it's led to a perfect storm that's certainly placed him at the top of casting wish-lists for everything from the "Robocop" remake to Darren Aronofsky's "Noah," although the actor reveals he's not decided on anything for the moment, saying, "I haven't done anything since July, so now I'm taking stock to reflect and decide, you know, what I want to do next," with a third project with Steve McQueen, "Twelve Years A Slave," being his only confirmed gig for 2012. Of course, he's got two killer-looking projects already wrapped: a brief role in Steven Sodebergh's actioner "Haywire," and as David in Ridley Scott's sci-fi epic "Prometheus."
Ultimately, his choice of roles comes down to something quite simple — interesting collaborators and compelling narratives. "Listen, it's good stories. Whether it's a big story or a small story doesn't really matter to me. I like to keep myself guessing, and everybody else. Like I said, I just want to tell stories, good ones with good people. It's a dice game, this whole business. You just try to load the dice as best you can, by working with the people that you think are inspiring and that you get along with. To be honest, life's too short, it doesn't have to be a tortuous experience, it can be a fun experience as well"
And as for his aims after "Twelve Years A Slave" shoots next summer? Well, there's a few people he'd like to work with, from established (and somewhat controversial) names, to whoever breaks out in the next few years. "I love the Coen Brothers, always loved those guys, would love to do something with them. Mel Gibson, I like him as a filmmaker, would like to do something with him. I just think he makes great films, whatever's going on in his personal life is going on in his personal life. I thought 'Apocalypto' was one of the best action films I've ever seen. Shane Meadows? And, you know, always the new people. I'm always curious about who's coming up, the next generation." Aspiring filmmakers, we'd call that your opening. Fassbender will next be seen in "Haywire," and we'll have more from the actor closer to that film's release on January 20th, while "Prometheus" will follow on June 8th. — Interview by RP.

North Slope of Alaska
Barrow: 71° 19' 23.73" N, 156° 36' 56.70" W
Atqasuk: 70° 28' 19.11" N, 157° 24' 28.99" W
The North Slope of Alaska (NSA) site is providing data about cloud and radiative processes at high latitudes. Centered at Barrow and extending to the south (to the vicinity of Atqasuk), west (to the vicinity of Wainwright), and east (towards Oliktok), the NSA site has become a focal point for atmospheric and ecological research activity on the North Slope. The principal instrumented facility was installed near Barrow in 1997, followed by a smaller remote site in Atqasuk in 1999, which operated through 2010.
High latitude data are being used to refine models and parameterizations as they relate to the Arctic and are receiving increasing attention as the interactions of the atmosphere-ocean climate system become better understood. In addition, other compelling scientific reasons to study climatic change at high latitudes are listed below:
- Ice (including snow) is the predominant form of condensed water most of the year, both in the air and on the surface. Ice and snow scatter, transmit, and absorb sunlight and radiant heat much differently than water
- There is very little water vapor in the atmosphere, changing the impact of the atmosphere on the propagation of radiant energy, particularly radiant energy propagating upwards from the surface, and on the performance of some atmospheric remote sensing instruments.
- The major "pumps" for the global ocean currents are at high latitudes, and there is good reason to believe that those pumps will be affected by climate-related changes in the atmosphere.
- High latitude atmospheric processes over both land and sea must be characterized for incorporation into global climate models.
In the late 90s, the adjacent Arctic Ocean was probed by the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic (SHEBA) experiment, a multi-agency program led by the National Science Foundation and the Office of Naval Research. SHEBA involved the deployment of an instrumented ice camp within the perennial Arctic Ocean ice pack that began in October 1997 and lasted for 12 months. For International Polar Year (IPY) in 2007 and 2008, the NSA provided continuous data for Arctic research and hosted two IPY experiments: Radiative Heating in Underexplored Bands Campaign and the Indirect and Semidirect Aerosol Campaign.

iPod shuffle
Apple's cheapest and smallest iPod, updated with new colors on July 15, 2015.
At a Glance
- At $49, the clip-on 2 GB iPod shuffle is Apple's cheapest and smallest iPod model. Aside from changes to color options, the iPod shuffle has not been updated since September 2010, with the most recent color update coming on July 15, 2015.
Current Specs
- 2 GB for $49
- Six color options including (PRODUCT) RED
Current Version
On July 15, 2015, Apple introduced a new color lineup for its entire family of iPods, including the iPod touch, iPod nano, and iPod shuffle. The new color options include space gray, gold, silver, pink, blue, and red.
No other changes were made to the iPod shuffle, which continues to offer 2 GB of storage and sell for $49.
The imminent update to the iPod lineup was revealed several weeks early by images discovered within iTunes 12.2 depicting iPods in several shades that did not exist at the time.
In More Detail
Apple's iPod shuffle has gone through several design changes since its introduction in January 2005, with the current form factor having been introduced in September 2010. Priced at $49 and offering 2 GB of storage, the only changes made to the device over the past five years have been in color options.
The September 2010 fourth-generation iPod shuffle launch included silver, blue, green, orange, and pink color options, and that set of colors remained available until September 2012 when it was replaced with an expanded set of new and tweaked colors including slate, silver, purple, pink, yellow, blue, green, and a special (PRODUCT) RED version.
September 2013 saw only the replacement of the slate color option with a new "space gray" color that was highlighted on the iPhone 5s but also quietly brought to the iPod touch, iPod nano, and iPod shuffle. The July 2015 update brought a new gold color and new shades of blue and pink to go along with the previous silver, space gray, and red options carried over earlier generations.
Color changes aside, at more than five years old the iPod shuffle is one of the oldest products in Apple's product lineup, but it is unclear what Apple's plans are for its future. Apple has redesigned the iPod shuffle several times over its lifetime as it has sought to make the device as small as possible, but actually reversed course with the current fourth-generation design in making it larger than the previous model. That design had almost entirely done away with on-device controls and was not particularly well-received by customers.
On the assumption that Apple feels it has optimized the design of the iPod shuffle with the current models, the most likely changes would be to capacity and pricing, but the company has so far given no signs of interest in making those changes. With iPod sales continuing to fall and the iPod shuffle making up only a small portion of that shrinking segment, Apple may simply feel that the product is not worth a significant investment in updating its design or specs.
During Apple's fourth quarter 2014 earnings call, CEO Tim Cook referred to the iPod as a declining business. Currently, iPod sales make a up just two percent of the company's revenue.
What's Next
With fresh new colors released in 2015 and sales of the iPod lineup continuing to wane as users shift toward smartphones for their audio consumption, we're not expecting any further updates for quite some time. At this point in the iPod's lifecycle, Apple is only making major updates every few years, although there could be an occasional price drop or color change to try to provide a spark for sales volumes from time to time.

DUBAI, Feb 20 (Reuters) - World number four Agnieszka Radwanska overcame a misfiring serve to beat Kazakh teenager Yulia Putintseva 7-5 6-3 in the second round of the Dubai women's tennis championships on Wednesday.
By Matt Smith
DUBAI, Feb 20 (Reuters) - World number four Agnieszka Radwanska overcame a misfiring serve to beat Kazakh teenager Yulia Putintseva 7-5 6-3 in the second round of the Dubai women's tennis championships on Wednesday.
The Pole, who received a first-round bye, lost three of her first four service games on an overcast centre court and she will need to improve if she is retain her Dubai title, with Petra Kvitova or Ana Ivanovic awaiting her in the next round.
"For me, the first match is always a bit tricky," Radwanska told reporters. "I didn't hit on the centre court here this year, and I was just practising outside - it was actually much faster. I was surprised - the ball is just not going anywhere and it was tough for me."
Serving at 3-3, Radwanska saved four break points after falling 0-40 behind, but Putintseva was undeterred and she earned another break point with a forehand winner down the line that fizzed past the advancing Pole. Rattled, the 2012 Wimbledon finalist double-faulted to fall 4-3 behind.
Radwanska, 23, responded by coming to the net more frequently to force Putintseva, ranked 101 in the world, to play on the back foot.
The Kazakh, seeking her third victory over a top-50 player, was found wanting and Radwanska broke for 4-4, with six out of eight games going against serve.
Putintseva, who beat Britain's Laura Robson in an all-teenage first-round battle, prefers brute force over finesse and although a fast hitter, she consistently played the ball too short, allowing Radwanska to stay in rallies with relative ease.
The Pole was too out of sorts to fully exploit her opponent's shortcomings but as the overcast sky gave way to a muggy desert sun she also upped the playing temperature on court, earning two set points with a flat forehand winner down the line. She needed only one as a tempestuous Putintseva smashed an attempted winner long.
Radwanska's greater pedigree - she has 12 tour singles titles to her name, while Putintseva has never made it beyond the second round of a tournament - eventually told, and she won five of the last six games.
"In the very important moments a bit of experience is always good to have," added Radwanska.
Former world number one Caroline Wozniacki routed Chinese qualifier Jie Zheng 6-0 6-1, while Russian veteran Nadia Petrova had a similar romp against Spain's Carla Suarez Navarro, winning 6-1 6-0. (Reporting by Matt Smith; Editing by Clare Fallon)

Many things going on in my life, but the most uplifting happened yesterday when I went to borrow some movies. I just moved to this area and I really have not had time to explore around properly. I just walk to the station every morning and thats it. Anyway, I saw an advert for a gym and decided to track the place down. I was disappointed to find out that it had many "conditions" attached to it. Card for this, card for that, 12 months contract, pay for this, pay for that, and they insisted on everything being taken from your account every month, you know, that automatic stuff...whatever it is called....
Na today I dey go gym for this country? Hisssssssssssssssssssssss
Anyway, so that was a total disappointment of course, but next door was a movie store. So I decided to rent some movies instead, just to feel like I had not wasted my time going all the way there.
I get the movies, I get a drink and already start drinking my ginger ale(I asked if it was okay to start drinking before paying, and he said yes)...anyway, this is what happened...
"Right, these two movies, the drink, and here's my card"
"Oh sorry, I only accept cash"
I look at the drink in my hand....Shit! I knew I should have paid first before I started drinking...
"Is there a cash machine nearby?"
"Yeah, at the station"
"Okay, so I'll just run down and get the money, okay?"
"That's such a drag, don't worry,you can just pay when you return the movies..."
"You trust me like that?"
"What if I never come back?"
"You will"
"What if I just take your movies and you never hear from me again"
"Nah, you are not that kind of person, you will be back"
"Thanks so much, I ll be back with them, tomorrow, don't worry"
"I am not worried, I know you'll come back"
There you have it! Two faces of humanity! One just wants to cheat you out of every penny you have and the other, is willing to trust in good faith...that's all there is to life at the end of the day.
Hope you all have a good rest and have enough time for reflection, compassion and love at this time.
Happy Easter
Lots of love,
Wednesday, April 8, 2009

April 2, 2013 the Dodge County High School (DCHS) Indians took the long ride to Thomson to take on the Bulldogs.
I don't usually go into a lot of detail of the Indians games but this game had an ending that can't go un-talked about.
The Indians had trailed the entire game. The score was four to zero going into the top of the sixth inning. The Indians managed to load the bases but had two outs.

By way of a noble commencement thereof, here worshipfully beginneth a Romance of the most delighteous story that may be, to wit, the story of the Graal, the secret whereof no man tell in prose nor rhyme, for such a thing might the story turn out to be before it were all told that every man might be grieved thereof albeit he had in nowise misdone. Wherefore it is that the wise man leaveth it aside and doth simply pass on beyond, for, and Master Blihos lie not, the secret no man should tell.
Now listen to me, all ye my friends, and ye shall hear me set forth the story that shall be right sweet to hearken unto, for therein shall be the seven Wardens that hold governance throughout the whole world, and all the good stories that any hath told according as the writing shall set forthwith; what manner folk the seven Wardens should be, and how they took unto them chief, and whom they took, for never aforetime have ye heard tell the story truly set forth, and how great nose there was and great outcry, and how for what cause was destroyed the rich country of Logres whereof was much talk in days of yore.
The kingdom turned to loss, the land was dead and desert in suchwise as that it was scarce worth a couple of hazelnuts. For they lost the voices of the wells and the damsels that were therein. For no less thing was the service they rendered than this, that scarce any wandered by the way, whether it were at eventide or morning, but that as for drink and victual he would go so far out of his way as to find one of the wells, and then nought could he ask for of fair victual such as pleased him but in content he should have it all so long as her hand asked in reason. For straightaway, I wise, forth of the well issued a damsel-none fairer need he ask-bearing in her hand a cup of gold with baked meats, pastries, and bread, while another damsel bore a white napkin and a dish of gold or silver wherein was the mess which he had come for the mess had asked for. Right for welcome found heat the well, and if so it were that his mess did not please him, diverse other ways they brought him all with one accord served fair and joyously all wayfarers by the roads that come to the wells for victual.
King Amangons, that was evil and craven-hearted, was the first to break the custom, for thereafter did many others the same according to the example they took of the king whose duty it was to protect the damsel and to maintain and guard them within his peace. One of the damsels did he enforce, and to her sore sorrow did away her maidenhead, and carried off from her the cup of gold that he took along with him, and afterward did under him everyday be served thereof. Well deserved he to come to mishap therby. For thenceforth never did the damsel serve any nor none issue forth of that well for no man that might come thither to ask for victual. And all the other damsels only served in such sort as that one should see them.
The other vassals that held of the king's honor, when they beheld this of their lord that he enforced the damsels wheresoever he found them comeliest, did all in the like manner enforce them and carried off the cups of gold in such wise that thereafter did no damsel issue forth of the wells nor none did service. This wot ye well, my lords, that on this wise did the land turn to its downfall, and an evil end withal did the king make and all other others after him that had wronged the damsels sore annoy. In such sort was the kingdom laid waste that thereforth was no tree leafy. The meadows and the flowers were dried up and the waters were shrunken, nor as their might no man find the Court of the Rich Fisherman that wont to make in the land a glittering glory of gold and silver, of ermines and minever, of rich palls of sandal, of meats and of stuffs, of falcons gentle and merlins and tercels and sparrow-hawks and falcon peregrine.
Then, when the Court was found, throughout the country was so great plenty of all manner o riches such as I have named that I warrant you all men marveled thereat both rich and poor. Thenceforward, as before it had lost every whit, so now in the kingdom of Logres was all the richness of the world.
The Peers of the Table Round came in the time of King Arthur. So good as they were none ever seen. Knights were they so good, so wonderful, so strong, so proud, so puissant, and so hardy, that when they had heard the story of the adventures, they were fain incontinent to recover the wells. All with one accord sware an oath to protect the damsels that had been put out of them and the cups that had been carried away, and to destroy root and branch the kindred of them that had wrought them harm. For these dwelt so night the wells that the damsels came not forth; and if it were that they could catch any of them, her maid they be slain by the sword or hanged. Alms made they and prayer to God that He would recover back the wells in such stablishment as they were aforetime, and that for His honor He would do them the service they asked of Him. Before they bethought them of asking so much, they could find nought. Never a voice could they hear from the wells, nor would no damsel issue therefrom.
But thereafter such adventure found they that they did very mightily marvel thereat. For in the forest found they damsels-fairer none would you ask-with whom were knights right well around upon their destriers that protected the damsels. Together fought they against them that would fain to have carried them off. Many a knight did they make die, for the damsels, I wis, had many a battle in the land. King Arthur thereby lost many a good knight without recovery, and many a good one did he gain thereby, as the story will tell you.
The Knight first conquered had to name Blihos Bliheris, and him did Messier Gauwains overcome through the great prowess whereof he is fulfilled. Him set he to yield himself up to King Arthur; whereupon he mounted his horse as he that hath no mind to tarry; and when he came to the Court did yield himself up, albeit never was he there known of the King, no one did he know. But right good stories he knew, such as that none could ever be weary of the hearkening to his words. They of the Court asked him of the damsels that rode by the forest albeit it were not yet summer, and good right had they so to ask and demand answer. And he knew how to tell them as much so that right willingly they gave ear to him, and many a night together were the damsels and the knights fare to hearken to him and seek him out.
He saith to them: "Much marvel have ye of the damsels that ye see go among these great forests, and never make ye an end of asking in what country we are born. I will tell ye the truth hereof. All we are born of the damsels, and never in the world were fairer, whom King Amangons did enforce. Never on any day of the world shall those wrongs be amended. The Peers of the Table Round of their courtesy and honor, of their prowess and valiance, are far by free to recover the wells whereof these be the squires and knights and nobles. I will tell you the sum of the matter. These all shall journey in common, and the damsels in likewise that wander at large through this country by forest and field behoveth it thus to faire until such time as God shall give them to find the Court from whence shall come the joy whereby the land shall again be made bright. To them that shall seek the Court, shall befall adventures such as where never found nor told in this land afore." Much to their liking was this that he said and sung, unto them and right well were they pleased…
