Derawar Fort, Cholistan, Pakistan

Derawar Fort is an ancient fort located in Cholistan Desert in Pakistan. The Fort was built by Deoraj, a prince of Jaisalmer. It was in possession of royal family of Jaisalmer when it was captured by Abbasis in 1735. In 1747, the Fort slipped from the hands of Abbasis in the reign of Nawab Bahawal Khan due to his pre-occupations at Shikarpur. Nawab Mubarak Khan took the stronghold back in 1804.

The Astore Valley in the Northern Areas of Pakistan

Astore Valley (el. 2,600 m (8,500 ft)) is located in Astore District in the Northern Areas of Pakistan. The valley, adjoining the eastern side of mountain Nanga Parbat, is about 120 km (75 mi) long, having area of 5,092 km2 (1,966 sq mi).[citation needed]The entrance of the valley is located about 60 km southeast of Gilgit with four side-valleys. The valley has more than 100 villages with a total population of 71,666 (Census 1998)[citation needed], including Chilm, Bubin, Gorikot, Eid Ghah, Fina, Bulen, Chongra and Tari Shing. Chilm is the most beautiful village among all the villages of Astore, because it is the starting point of Deosai, the world's second highest plateau. The majority of people practice subsistence agriculture and livestock is the main source of livelihood complemented by seasonal work in down districts of the country. Due to its diverse landscape and climatic conditions the valley provides excellent habitat for a variety of commercially important medicinal plants.

Beautiful Pakistan - View from Lord of the Rings

This is a view of Tupopdan mountain, one of the most amazing places along Karakoram highway.
The Karakoram is a ‘who’s who’ of the world’s tallest peaks – including K-2, second only to Everest. And its valleys deliver a glut of glaciers, the longest outside the polar regions, with some creeping right to the road edge. The 240-kilometer Hunza Valley is an ancient and remote kingdom in the northeast of Pakistan, nestled close to China and the Wakhan Corridor of Afghanistan. The simplicity of village life belies the valley’s strategic and economic importance. Not so many years ago, travel through its narrow gorges and high passes was treacherous as local brigands supplemented meagre agricultural outputs by raiding silk route caravans, trading slaves and capturing loot.

Pakistan - Amazing Scary Suspension Husaini Bridge

This is a shot of Mt. Tupopdan (6106m) taken at the sunset with new and old suspension Husaini Bridge in foreground. Probably one of the more instantly recognizable pictures you'll see in books and promotional pictures of Pakistan is of the numerous suspension bridges that cross the rivers in and around Northern Pakistan. And in saying that, one of the more famous day treks around the region is known as the Two Bridges trek which as the name suggests sees you crossing two bridges on a five hour trek in the area surrounding Passu and the neighboring villages before ending at Borit Lake.The trek itself is probably more of a pleasant stroll than a strenuous effort but the setting and the scenery is some of the best I've seen so far. Apart from crossing the two bridges you meander through farming villages, traverse steep ravines, cross potato and pumpkin fields as the farmers wave hello and end the day by enjoying a nice cold drink by an alpine lake.

Pakistan - Fairy Meadows - Circles of Life

The mountain in the picture is Nanga parbat (also known as Nangaparbat Peak or Diamir) is the 9th highest mountain on Earth and the 2nd highest in Pakistan. Nanga Parbat has tremendous vertical relief over local terrain in all directions. To the south, Nanga Parbat boasts what is often referred to as the highest mountain face in the world: the Rupal Face rises an incredible 4,600 m (15,000 feet) above its base. To the north, the complex, somewhat more gently sloped Rakhiot Flank rises 7,000 m (22,966 feet) from the Indus River valley to the summit in just 27 km, one of the 10 greatest elevation gains in so short a distance on Earth. Nanga Parbat is the fastest growing mountain on Earth and it is still growing about 7mm a year.

The Shah Jahan Mosque was built in the reign of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. It is located in Thatta, Sindh province, Pakistan. In the town of Thatta (100 km / 60 miles from Karachi) itself, there is famous Shahjahani Mosque with its beautiful architecture. This mosque was built in 1647 during the reign of Mughal King Shahjahan, also known as the builder King. The mosque is built with red bricks with blue coloured glaze tiles probably imported from another Sindh's town of Hala.

Outerra Tech Demo Download Free 2012

2012-04-28T20:57:00.001-07:00

Outerra Tech Demo

Outerra Engine is a unique 3D engine, a world rendering engine capable to seamlessly render whole planets from space down to the ground level. It can use real world data to render the planets realistically, while it also dynamically refines the data using procedural algorithms to provide high ground-level detail.

The engine provides unlimited visibility obstructed only by the planet's curvature, with details ranging from thousands of kilometers down to centimeters. Real time atmospheric rendering, oceans with shore waves.

It can integrate vector data overlays for roads, and land class modifications. Uses the JSBSim Flight Dynamics Model library for high fidelity simulation of aircraft, and Bullet physics engine for simulation of vehicle physics. Terrain and fractal algorithms maximally utilize the GPU, leaving the CPU resources for simulation.

Finally here comes the Outerra tech demo, coming together with the alpha release of our game Anteworld.

Outerra Anteworld-0.7.11.2982 (torrent, please use this if you can)
Outerra Anteworld-0.7.11.2982 (direct download, Europe)
Outerra Anteworld-0.7.11.2982 (direct download, USA)

Driver issues: Please check the Graphics driver issues topic on our forums to resolve the most common issues with the graphics card drivers.

Previous version removed because of huge number of startup crashes received from people using ancient Nvidia drivers.

This alpha release features:

A complete, real scale planet Earth that can be explored
Created from real elevation data with resolution 90m where available, 1km resolution for oceans; data are dynamically downloaded as you go
Further refined by fractal-based procedural techniques down to centimeter-level details
Vector-based road system that integrates with the procedurally generated terrain
Ability to place static stock objects and drive provided vehicles

The demo comes with the whole planet Earth that can be explored in a free-camera mode or in a 8-wheeler truck. People who like it and/or want to support us and the development of Outerra engine can buy the alpha release of Anteworld at a discounted price ($15), half the amount for the final release. Doing so will give you access to regularly released alpha/beta updates of the game, together with the final version when it's done. The price will gradually rise with each major release.
You will also become our beta-testers, with ability to influence the priorities of the development.

The full game includes also a plane and a helicopter, and basic sandbox tools that allow you to create roads and runways and place stock objects. A model importer and vehicle configurator that will allow creating custom models and vehicles will be coming soon in an update to the game.

The demo contains a few locations around the world (a couple of them were created by our tester Pico). Data for the default location are already included within the installer, the rest of it will be downloaded automatically on demand as you explore the world (note: proxy servers aren't supported yet for data download). The total size of the data is around 12GB, but normally you'll download just a fraction of the size, unless you traverse the whole planet surface at a low altitude.

Hardware requirements

Outerra engine runs on OpenGL 3.3 and requires recent graphics drivers. It will warn you if your drivers are outdated, or even refuse to run in case you've got old ATI drivers that are known not to work at all.
The minimum requirements are:

Nvidia 8800GT or better, ATI 4850 or better
512MB GPU memory
a 2-core CPU

Recommended:

Nvidia 460GTX or better, ATI 6850 or better
1GB GPU memory

Limitations of current alpha state of the technology

This alpha release comes out to show the potential of the engine, but it still lacks many features commonly found in other engines, and especially the effects are postponed until the major features are implemented.
The demo currently comes with just a single biome - northern type forests. There are no rivers and lakes implemented yet, and no weather yet.
Almost all the areas are work in progress.

Known Issues

There are still some driver issues with ATI cards, the most problematic being the 4xxx line, where there are still some seemingly random crashes.
The alpha state of the engine also means that it's not very optimized yet. It consumes more GPU memory than it should, and spends some time rendering things that is not eventually visible etc.

Driver issues: Please check the Graphics driver issues topic on our forums to resolve the most common issues with the graphics card drivers.

Anteworld game

Anteworld* is a world-building game on a massive true-to-life scale of our planet. Returning aboard an interstellar colonizer ship built in the Golden Age of Mankind, players arrive on the planet earth to discover civilization and humanity vanished. They will have to rebuild the civilization - exploring, fighting, and competing for resources while searching for clues to the disappearance of humanity.

The game will contain several modes, the basic one will be a single-player game but with player-built locations being synchronized and replicated between clients. That means player can settle in a free location of his choice where he can build and play, and when he goes exploring he'll be able to observe and visit other sites where other players are building their world.

There's going to be also a multiplayer mode for gaming in the existing world.
Sim-connect mode should allow to use Anteworld as an image generator for another simulation program.
In fact, Anteworld is meant to create the basis for an Outerra game/sim platform, allowing to create mods and new game modules that would run on the existing backend.

*The name comes from Latin prefix Ante-, with the meaning of prior-to in time. A world that was. There's going to be an accompanying novella written by C.Shawn Smith that should be loosely tied to the game.
Here's a sample, the epilogue: The Outerra Initiative - Epilogue

How can Inverstors can invest in a Broadway show

2012-04-26T00:48:00.001-07:00

I've gotten a lot of questions from readers all over the world expressing interest in investing in a Broadway or an Off-Broadway show. Usually they are unsure about how to get involved and, more importantly, they want to know how to pick their first show.

Since this seemed to be such a hot topic, I thought I'd take a couple of blogs to dispel a few of the nasty rumors associated with investing in Broadway or Off-Broadway shows, and also give you my checklist of how to choose a show to invest in.

Today, we'll deal with the rumors. Tomorrow, the checklist.

BROADWAY INVESTMENT RUMOR #1: Investing in Broadway shows is only for the super-rich.

Because Broadway capitalizations can range from $2 million for a Play up to $20 million for a Broadway Mega-Musical, many people fear that the "entry point," or the amount of money required for an initial individual investment, must be astronomically high.

Not true.

While the average smaller investor in a big Broadway show is probably about $25,000, I have seen many shows where investors were able to get in for as little as $10,000, and even a few where the entry point was only $5,000! There are a lot of publicly traded mutual funds that don't allow you to get in at that level. These lower investment thresholds are very common in the Off-Broadway arena.

What determines the lowest investment level? Here's how it works. Capitalizations are divided into 'units', just like shares of a stock. What defines a unit is up to the Producer. Some Producers like to have a round 100 units per show, regardless of the capitalization. Some like to pick the lowest amount they can accept as an investment (some shows are limited to the # of investors they can have). Some just make it up arbitrarily.

Here's a tip. If you're considering a show and you get sticker shock when you hear the price of one unit? Ask for a partial. Splitting units ain't like splitting an atom. It can be done with ease. Depending upon a variety of circumstances, including how hot the property is, who the producer is, and whether or not other investors took "round units," it may be possible for you to invest in a smaller amount than the "ask."

The key is, of course, never be pressured into investing more than you're willing to lose. If the entry point on one project is too high, don't worry, there are others.

BROADWAY INVESTMENT RUMOR #2: Investing in Broadway shows is only for the super-crazy.

So many people think that it's bonkers to get involved with Broadway.
The fact is, if you're an individual of a certain net worth, your traditional financial advisor will probably recommend that you allocate a certain amount of your investment portfolio (usually about 10%) to higher risk instruments or so-called Alternative Investments in order to diversify yourself (most Broadway and other AIs require investors to be "Accredited," although this is not always the case for shows). Look at the Smith Barney site here to see a description of the Alternative approach.
Why would Broadway, with its high risk but potentially high return, be excluded from that list? In fact, it isn't. Check out the Wikipedia entry for Alternative Investments here. Recognize anything?
Alternative Investments, including Broadway and Off-Broadway shows, are high-risk, without a doubt.
The commonly quoted statistic is that only 1 out of 5 Broadway shows recoup their investment (that ratio is even lower for Off-Broadway shows). But it's not the only high risk instrument on the market, by any means. Investing in Broadway shows is a lot like investing in a restaurant, a piece of art, or frankly, in any entreprenurial start-up. Look at this statistic that puts the success rate of start-ups at the exact same percentage as I just quoted above – 20%! See, it's not as bad as we thought.
And, if you do proper due diligence, as we'll discuss tomorrow, you can increase those odds.
Also, with big risk can come big rewards. Even if you do end up performing according to the stats, the goal and hope is that the 1 show out of 5 ends up paying for any other previous losses (it's a marathon not a sprint) and then some. Imagine what it would have been like to invest in Annie, West Side Story, Cats or Wicked.
BROADWAY INVESTMENT RUMOR #3: Investors in Broadway shows belong to an exclusive 'club' that doesn't accept new members.
While it is true that there are a lot of investors in the Broadway world that have been in the circle for a long time, it's not as closed door of a club as you think. While it can be hard for a new investor to get in on the hottest shows coming to town, it's not impossible, and sometimes, Producers will let you get in on a 'sure-thing' (which doesn't exist, by the way) if you also agree to come into something a bit more risky.
However, it is a relationship business, and preferential treatment is often given to investors who have been doing it longer, and to those that have been faithful to the Producer.
So what does a new investor do?
Start the relationship.
Call a Producer. Email them. Fax them. Simply state that you're looking to invest in a specific show (if you know one that they are about to do), or ask to be put on the list to be called about their next show. It's not a commitment for either party, and I don't know any Producer out there who would mind putting you on a "potential" list. Just make sure you are serious about your interest.
Those are three of the biggest obstacles potential Broadway and Off-Broadway investors tell me prevent them from taking the first step and joining the ranks of Broadway investors. Tomorrow, we'll talk about just how you choose a project to invest in, once you've decided that investing in Broadway is something you definitely want to do.

When and How creative teams earn their stripes

2012-04-26T00:46:00.000-07:00

It’s not in the two years prior to the first preview.
It’s in the two weeks prior to the opening night.
When choosing your team, especially your director, make sure you have a set that can deliver within the choking restrictions of that 3-4 week period known as “previews”.
Limited rehearsal hours, stagehand schedules that don’t mesh with actor schedules, prohibitive overtime costs, miniscule lead time to build new scenery or costumes, and immediate audience feedback, are just a few of the things that a creative team has to juggle with when fine or not-so-fine tuning their show before opening night.
It requires a different set of muscles to run this obstacle course as compared to the marathon of pre-performance development.
But your team needs both sets of muscles if your show is going to run.

10 Best Audition Tips for Actors of New Generation

2012-04-26T00:45:00.001-07:00

Sitting on the other side of the table is something that every actor should do. It’s incredibly educational and inspirational, because frankly, you realize that while there are lots and lots of people that call themselves actors, there are a much smaller group of Actors (and talent is only a small part of that definition, by the by).
Since so few Actors get a chance to sit where Producers and Directors sit, here are my 10 tips on how to have a better audition experience.

Always bring a picture and resume.I don’t care if you have an Agent, a Manager, and a Momma
Rose-style “mom-ager” who all promised to send it over. You’re the one that won’t be remembered if you don’t have one. A P&R is
more than an American Express card. It’s like a pair of shoes. You wouldn’t leave home without shoes, would you?
Haven’t memorized the material? Don’t pretend you have.If you have sides, try to memorize them. But if you can’t, it’s ok. We’d rather hear the material as written with the papers in your hand than hear you make up stuff just to prove that you tried (and failed) to memorize the material (remind me to tell you about the time an actor added a few lines to a Tony Award winning playwright’s monologue to kill time while he tried to get back on track).
Don’t make excuses.I don’t want to hear that you have a cold, or that you have bed-head, or that your printer is broken. Do your best.
If I ask you to make a choice, make one.I commonly ask the people auditioning for me to choose between two monologues, or I ask them to give me three song choices from their book and then I say, “which would you like to do?” I want to learn what YOU are attracted to, and I also want to see you make a choice. Don’t say, “It doesn’t matter. What do you want?” Actors have to make strong clear choices when developing characters. I want to see that side of you in everything you do.
Make your first 15 seconds count.When you meet someone for the first time, don’t you make a lot of suppositions? We do too.
Be the 3 Cs.Be comfortable, charismatic and confident. Actors have to command attention. They have to be the most interesting people in a 1000 seat theater. Be someone that we want to get to know. If you can do that as yourself, I know you’ll also be able to do that in a character.
Don’t take the last audition times of the day.Casting is not an easy process, and at the end of the day, a creative team is grumpy, tired and wants to go home. The early actor gets the part. (Another reason to be scheduled early? You don’t have the rest of the day of actors to be compared to. I’m much more likely to call someone back that I see early because I have no idea what the rest of the day will bring.)
Let us know where to find you.Even if you have an agent, put an email address where you can be reached directly on your resume (For safety reasons, I’d suggest a separate email just for this purpose). This way, if you ever leave your agent, or if your agent doesn’t get back to the casting director right away, interested parties have a way of at least sending you an inquiry. You don’t have to respond. Pix and Resumes sit in files for years. You always want some piece of contact information to be accurate so someone can find you fast.
Don’t start over.Screw up? Fight through it. And it probably wasn’t as bad as you thought. You’re more sensitive to it than we are. An old voice teacher of mine used to say, “If you put a microphone on the inside of a Mercedes engine, you’d hear all sorts of sputtering and spitting, but from the outside, you’d hear nothing but purrrrrrrrr.”
Always audition.The best way to master auditioning is just like everything else. Do it over and over. You’ll get numb to the nerves. You’ll be able to be yourself. And you’ll get free practice! I used to go to dance calls, because learning a dance combination at an audition is a free dance class (and I needed them). Actors who get to work on sides with directors at an audition get a free coaching.

Remember, we want you to be great. We’re pulling for you more than you can ever imagine.
Because a great audition, means a great cast, which means we’re one step closer to a great show.

The First Time Crowd-Funded Broadway Musical.

2012-04-26T00:43:00.000-07:00

Yes, it’s true. We’re doing it.
But before I go into the details, here’s the backstory.
The world of financing projects of all shapes and sizes has been changing at an alarming rate over the last decade.
Thanks to entrepreneurs like Guillaume Colboc and Benjamin Pommeraud, as well as my bloggin’ hero Seth Godin and his book Tribes, the guys at Kickstarter.org and, of course, the King of Crowd-Funding himself, Barack Obama, a new era in bringing people with a common vision together has been born.
We’ve even talked about it on this blog on several occasions . . . and we’ve even wondered, “Can we apply this to Broadway?”
Well, guess what? We can. It just took a few extra lawyers and a few extra hours to figure out a new way of doing things. (I even had to pass a Series 63 Exam to become a Securities Agent!)
So, it is with great pleasure that I officially announce to all of you first, that my upcoming Broadway revival of Godspell will be the first-ever Crowd-Funded, or as I like to call it, “Community-Funded,” Broadway musical.
To be honest, I’ve had this idea for several years, but I was just waiting for the right show. And Godspell is the perfect show for this concept. As Stephen Schwartz said to me, “Godspell is essentially about a community of people coming together.” It just makes sense to bring together the largest community of Producers ever to mount this historic 40th Anniversary production.
As you know, investing in a Broadway musical is something that is usually only available to a select group of people at very high investment thresholds.
But everywhere I go, I meet people who I know would love the opportunity to invest in a Broadway musical and become Broadway Producers themselves, despite the obvious risks, if they only knew how, and if only the entry point was more affordable.
Godspell is for all those people.
Traditionally, the price of one investing unit in a Broadway show has been as high as $10,000, $25,000 or even $100,000.

One unit in Godspell is only $100. (FYI, there is a minimum purchase of 10 units per investor)

Now, in the subject of this post I said this show had your name on it. Here’s how:

Each investor
in Godspell shall receive a limited liability company interest in The Godspell, LLC,
per our Offering Circular as qualified with the Securities and Exchange
Commission of the United States.*

In
addition, every single investor, no matter how much he or she invests, will have his or her name listed on a poster
outside of our Broadway theater.

Yep, you’re going to get billing.

And every
single investor will also have their name listed on a new website created
exclusively for this community, PeopleofGodspell.com, as well as his or her photo, hometown, a quote, and links to their Facebook and
Twitter profiles.

What do you think? Fun, right?

There may even be opportunities for opening night performance and gala tickets, complimentary tickets to previews, invitations to private cast functions and more.

If you’re interested in joining me and the other members of the community in this incredibly unique and historic production, visit www.PeopleOfGodspell.com today or click here. Please note, this is a limited offer because there is only a finite quantity of units available. If you are interested, I encourage you to contact me through the link above as soon as possible. I’ve announced it publicly here on my blog first, so that my readers could have the first opportunity to participate . . . after all, our conversations helped inspire it.

Click here to learn more about joining the community. And maybe I’ll see you on opening night!

Oh, and yes, every investor gets one of the buttons in this photograph.

Join The People of Godspell today. It’s the first ever Community Produced Broadway Musical.

I need to thank those few extra lawyers at Franklin, Weinrib, Rudell and Vassallo and Reitler, Kailas & Rosenblatt, LLC who put in the few extra hours to make this possible.

Virtual Tennis 4 Free Download 2012

Virtua Tennis 4

Pc Game

Game Description:

Virtua Tennis 4 (Sega Professional Tennis: Power Smash 4 in Japan) is the third sequel to Sega's tennis game franchise, Virtua Tennis. It was released on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii, but it has also upcoming releases on PC and PlayStation Vita. Virtua Tennis 4 is the first numbered game of the series without an arcade release.

Gameplay:
The game supports the PlayStation Move controller on the PlayStation 3, the Kinect on the Xbox 360, and the Wii MotionPlus on the Wii. All previously mentioned devices are optional. Virtua Tennis 4 allows the player to step into the shoes of some of the world's best tennis pros. The game supports stereoscopic 3D on the PlayStation 3. When the PlayStation Move is used, the character's left and right movement is automatic but each swing of the racquet must be performed by the player and one can drop back or rush to the net by physically stepping back or forward. There is a dynamic camera system in place, so when the ball is in the other half of the court, the camera pans out so that one can see one's position. When the ball is coming towards the player, it glides into a first person viewpoint where the player can see their racquet in front of him and time their swing accordingly. The player can twist the racquet to adjust its face when it connects with the ball, allowing skilled players to apply spin.
