How to Use Google Maps

Suppose we want to meet up with a friend at a coffee shop.
The old fashioned way was to photocopy a map page, and mark a location onto it. This is what I have done to the above image using Photoshop. I could now email that image to my friend, or print it out and send it to them.

But what about using something more modern, like "Google Maps" to mark the location of the coffee shop instead ?

In Australia, we go to this address: http://maps.google.com.au/

Here is a YouTube video about how to make your own Google map, using "My Maps".




There is also written information about How to Create a "My Map" at this link:
http://maps.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=68480

Here is a map for the Coffee Shop that we created using Google Maps
(We have also included the big hotel across the road as a reference point).



The really nice thing about a Google Map is that we can click to enter satellite view, to obtain an aerial photograph of our map like this:



We can also click on the orange colored man symbol on the map, to take us into Google Street View.

Click and drag the orange man away from the plus sign to get into Google Street View. When we mouse release our Orange guy, we get a street view photo. We can even point our guy to look directly at the Vogue House Cafe:




Here is our actual Google map, from the embed HTML that they provided us with:

The only problem is that we included two items on our map: the big hotel, and the cafe, and the hotel symbol is on top. It does not matter, once we zoom in a few times the two symbols will separate. Also in the embedded map, we do not get streetview available. To use streetview, we need to click the link further below.


View Vogue House Cafe in a larger map

And here is a link to open our map in a new browser window:
Link to Map for Vogue House Cafe with Street View

The other nice thing about the map is that our friend can get directions from wherever they are, to reach destinations we have marked on our map. In the directions lists, it even gives camera icons we can click and then see street view annotated photo scenes of the main road intersections we have to make turns at during our journey.

Finally, here is a PDF document, all about how we made our own Google map:

If you would like to have your own full size copy of this PDF, then
simply click the save disk icon button on the PDF viewer, and you should be able to save it to your own hard disk.


Alternatively, you can view or save the full size PDF by clicking the link below:

Click here to open or save the “How to Google Maps” PDF

So making a Google Map, and sending the link to someone by email definitely gives them the full picture. They can zoom in and out, and then also use street view to get right in on those areas of interest that we have marked especially onto the map.

Enjoy,

The Misfits - Monster Mash


In 1997, the horror punk group The Misfits released a music video of them covering "Monster Mash" live. They also released a studio version as a single in 1999, and recorded a separate version for their 2003 album Project 1950 (see below).

Magix Music Maker 15

Image Source: www.magix.com

Magix Music Maker 15 is a multitrack sound loops music workstation. For around $50 on eBay it is an absolute bargain, and a great entry level music making package. The software comes with great quality samples of drums, guitars, bass, keyboards, percussion, sound fx, Vocals, as well as a full set of effects processors.

It has a really well set out drag and drop interface, as shown here with 4 of up to 16 tracks of sounds that can be assembled while building a song:




If we want to see the whole song at once, then we can click the Overview tab:




The sounds are grouped into "Soundpools" of various genres, that can then be previewed, and dragged onto the recording timeline. Additional sounds and soundpools can be purchased online, or you can find and import your own .wav sounds into MMM 15 to use as well. There is also facility to record external sound by using a microphone plugged into your computer's sound card.



There are also lots of effects that can be applied to each sound loop that we add onto the timeline. These are just some of the items, there are also guitar distortion, compressor, chorus, and delay pedals.



There is even a Vocoder included, which we used to add some background vocals on a techno song we made.




Here is an Alternative Rock Song that we made at Passy World using MMM 15, and the set of sound loops that came with it: (My 10 year old son actually made most of this song, and I just added some extra guitar into it).

Here is part of a Techno Song that was made at Passy World using MMM 15:

Finally, here is a Reggae Song we made, using some MMM samples that we purchased for around $5 and downloaded from "Catooh":

If you want to find our more about Magix Music Maker, then check out the Magix website:
http://www.magix.com/us/music-maker/

There is probably the usual free 30 day download trial version available at this site that you can try out for free.

The version we use at Passy World is the standard MM15 shown below:




Magix MM 15 is a great way to learn about the structure of songs, how to assemble instrument parts together, and apply production effects. It is easy to use, and really good fun. Best of all it is quite cheap to buy compared with more sophisticated music software such as Sony Acid and Abelton.

It is also great for making simple drum, bass, and rythm guitar tracks to play along with and practice guitar.

So give it a go and get those big beats blasting out.

Thomas Gets Tanked

Okay so what is Thomas The Tank Engine doing here at Passy's World ?

Well I thought I would share with you some of the weird and wonderful things people are putting up onto You Tube. First there is a whole series of various characters "Firing their Lazers" and dear old Thomas is certainly the star of the show here:




The next clip is for anyone who can remember back to the days of the dial up modem, and all those silly noises this machine would make as it connected up with the distant computer:




Finally, there are a series of "Ernest the Tank Engine" videos on You Tube. Most of them are totally inapropriate for this site, due to the bad language involved, except for this one:


Anyway, that's it for now, I'm off to get my steam up and do some work cleaning up the yard.

10 PEMAIN TOP SEPAKBOLA YANG TAK PERNAH KE WORLD CUP!

Tentu menjadi harapan semua pemain di dunia bisa unjuk kebolehan di Piala Dunia. Namun siapa sangka jika ada beberapa pemain hebat justru gagal tampil di event empat tahunan itu.

Ya, Cristiano Ronaldo bersama Portugal mungkin terancam tak unjuk kebolehan di Afrika Selatan. Namun, winger Real Madrid ini lebih bernasib baik dibanding nama-nama besar macam dua pendahulunya, George Best dan Alfredo di Stefano.

Jangan tanya kiprah Best di Manchester United atau Alfredo di Stefano bersama Real Madrid. Keduanya telah menjadi legenda.

Tapi, itu tidak terjadi di timnas. Merek masuk dalam daftar pemain top yang tak merasakan Piala Dunia sepanjang karirnya. Berikut 10 pemain top yang tak pernah merasakan Piala Dunia seperti dilansir Mirror Football:

10. Paulo Di Canio
Di balik sikap temperamennya, Paulo Di Canio tetap diakui sebagai pemain dengan skill di atas rata-rata. Penyerang asal Italia ini selalu tampil impresif bersama West Ham United. Sayangnya, ia tak pernah dipanggil masuk timnas
Azzurri. Ditengarai sifat temperamennya itu yang membuat pelatih-pelatih Italia enggan memanggilnya. Dino Zoff, mantan pelatih Azzurri, pernah berkata, “karena saya telah cukup punya masalah, saya tidak ingin menambahnya lagi.”

9. Jari Litmanen
The Flying Finn telah memenangkan beberapa gelar Liga Belanda bersama Ajax Amsterdam termasuk Liga Champions pada 1995 silam. Tak hanya itu, Litmanen juga menduduki peringkat 3 dalam voting Pemain Terbaik Eropa 1995. Karir gemilangnya terus berlanjut bersama Liverpool. Piala FA, Worthington Cup dan gelar UEFA Cup pernah dirasakannya bersama The Reds. Tapi di timnas, ikan besar di klub itu terlihat seperti ikan kecil. Alhasil bersama Finlandia, Litmanen selalu menemui kegagalan melaju ke Piala Dunia.

8. Matt Le Tissier
Tiga golnya saat timnas Inggris mengalahkan Rusia rupanya tak mampu membuat terkesan Glen Hoddle. Pelatih timnas Inggris ini tetap meninggalkan Le Tissier ke Piala Dunia 1998 Prancis. Namun, Hoddle pantas menyesal setelah Inggris tersingkir dalam drama adu penalti kontra Argentina. Pasalnya, Le Tiss dikenal sebagai eksekutor ulung yang dimiliki Inggris.

7. Bernd Schuster
Berbagai trofi juga telah dipersembahkan Bernd Schuster saat masih bermain untuk Barcelona dan Real Madrid. Termasuk saat merengkuh juara Euro 1980 bersama Jerman Barat. Tapi, perselisihannya dengan Asosiasi Sepakbola Jerman (DFB) saat itu membuatnya ditinggalkan di Piala Dunia 1982. Schuster mundur dari timnas saat usianya 24 tahun.

6. Ian Rush
Dialah salah satu putra terbaik Wales. Mesin gol Anfield ini dianggap menjadi salah satu striker menakutkan bersama Liverpool. Namun, sinar terang Rush akan meredup di timnas. Ian Rush seakan berjuang sendiri di timnas.
Alhasil, Ian Rush tak pernah mencicipi Piala Dunia karena Wales selalu gagal lolos.

5. Eric Cantona
Siapa tak kenal Eric Cantona. Penyerang yang dikenal dengan tendangan kungfu ini menjadi nyawa permainan Manchester United saat itu. Sempat dipanggil ke timnas pada 1987, namun pelatih timnas Prancis saat itu Henri
Michel berselisih dengannya. Michel sendiri akhirnya dipecat setelah Prancis gagal meraih tiket ke Piala Dunia 1990 Italia dan Amerika Serikat 1994. Sedangkan di Piala Dunia 1998, Cantona terganjal skorsing karena tendangan
kungfu saat memperkuat MU.

4. George Weah
Saat membaca CV George Weah, tentu sederet prestasi dapat menunjukkan kehebatannya. Pemain Terbaik Eropa, tiga kali Pemain Terbaik Afrika, Pemain Terbaik Afrika Abad ini dan berbagai trofi bersama Paris Saint-Germain dan AC
Milan. Weah juga tercatat sebagai top skorer Liga Champions pada 1994/1995. Namun di timnas Liberia, Weah seakan berjuang sendiri. Alhasil, Weah gagal beraksi di Piala Dunia 2002.

3. Ryan Giggs
Senasib dengan pendahulunya Ian Rush, Giggs bak matahari tertutup awan. Penampilan fantastisnya di Manchester United tak mampu mendongkrak timnas Wales yang saat itu memang bukan kekuatan sepakbola. Sempat ditawari timnas Inggris, Giggs lebih memilih tak merasakan Piala Dunia dibanding harus mengkhianti tanah leluhur.

2. Alfredo di Stefano
Tiga negara memperebutkan sosoknya. Ya, Alfredo di Stefano memang tercatat sebagai satu-satunya pemain yang memperkuat tiga negara yakni Argentina, Kolumbia atau Spanyol. Bersama Argentina, ia gagal tampil di Piala Dunia 1950 dan 1954. Sedangkan di PD 1958, timnas Spanyol gagal melaju. Di Piala Dunia Chile 1962, Alfredo di Stefano mengalami cedera.

1. George Best
Dunia mengakui jika Pele, Diego Maradona dan George Best menjadi tiga pemain terbaik yang pernah ada. Namun, nasib menyedihkan harus diterima George Best. Di saat nama besar Pele dan Maradona telah dikultuskan dengan gelar Piala Dunia, tidak dengan Best. Mantan gelandang serang Irlandia Utara ini tak bisa mengangkat negaranya di pentas dunia. Irlandia tak mampu lolos ke Piala Dunia 1982 di Spanyol.

How to Play Hendrix "Hey Joe"

Okay, this post is all about How to Play "Hey Joe", the Jimi Hendrix classic.

First of all, here is a good quality video of Jimi playing the song:




Now let's take our first look at how to play the song, starting with the intro:


Here is a video on just the intro, nice and slow :


And yet another way of playing the intro:


This video is about the chord progression and the pentatonic scale in E:


And finally a video on how to do the main guitar solo:


As well as all these videos to watch, some tabulature would be handy as well.

And Lyrics:

Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand
Hey Joe, I said where you goin' with that gun in your hand
I'm goin' down to shoot my ol' lady
I caught her messin' 'round with another man

Yeah, I'm goin' down to shoot my ol' lady now
You know I caught her messin' 'round with another man
And that ain't too cool

Hey Joe, hey, Joe, I heard you shot your woman down
Hey Joe, hey, Joe, I heard you shot your woman down, baby
He said, "Yeah, I did it, yes I did, I shot her
You know I caught her messin' 'round with another man"

Yes I did, I shot her
You know I caught my her messin' 'round with another man
Yeah, and I gave her the gun

Hey Joe, hey Joe
Where you gonna run to, now where you gonna run to now
Hey Joe, hey Joe
Lord, where you gonna run to, now where you gonna run to, baby

I'm goin' way down south, way down south
Way down to Mexico way, yeah
I'm goin' way down south, way down south, baby
Way down where I can be free

Ain't no one gonna mess with me there, baby
Ain't no hang-man gonna
He ain't gonna put a rope, a rope around me, yeah
You better believe it, baby

Hey, Joe, you better run on down, you better
Goodbye everybody

Here is a video that shows how to play the chords for the song, with some nice little inbetween runs added in:


And a Tab for the Solo from "911tabs" on the internet:

Band: Jimi Hendrix Experience
Song: Hey Joe (Solo)
Composer: Jimi Hendrix
Tabber: Calum croft
Tuning: Standard

key:
BU= Bend up to the pitch of note signalled
BD= Bend down to pitch of note signalled
P= Pull off.
H= Hammer on.
#/(#)= e.g. 9/(14) This means sound the first note in this case 9 (the grace note) then immediately slide
to the next note indicated do not pluck this note it should ring out anyway if your fast enough.
X= Pick rake (mute string with fretting hand).
FHT= Fretting hand tap (this is just like a hammer on but you don’t sound any note before it.
~= Trill

the arrows are just to show you to carry on and the lines down the middle of the are just the sections i
suggest practicing individually before playing the hole thing together.

I also highly recommend Googling on "Power Tab" for Hey Joe, and downloading the version four 5 star tab from Ultimate Guitar Tabs. This gives excellent detail for playing all of the fills between the chords. You will need to have the free "Power Tab" editor software installed on your computer from their site at: http://www.power-tab.net/ .
(See our previous post earlier this month all about "Power Tab".

This will help work out things like the low notes run:



Finally, here is some great vintage footage from before my time, of Jimi at the famous Woodstock Concert:

MARK ZUCKERBEG & KEUNTUNGAN FACEBOOK

Facebook? siapa yang tidak tahu. Ternyata pendapatan situs ini hampir menyamai kekayaan google. Situs yang sudah menjamur ke berbagai lapisan masyarakat ini ternyata telah membuat si pemilik facebook Mark Zuckerberg menjadi milyalder muda di usia 25 tahun. Pada awalnya Zuckerberg menciptakan Facebook saat ia duduk di bangku kuliah sebagai mahasiswa psikologi di universitas Harvard, Amerika Serikat (AS).

Karena backgroundnya psikologi, ia suka membuat situs sosial. Meski situs pertamanya Coursematch.com tidak begitu terkenal, ia kemudian menciptakan Facemash. Pada saat usianya 20 tahun, pemuda kelahiran 14 Mei 1984 ini kemudian meluncurkan “the Facebook” yang khusus menerima anggota mahasiswa Universitas Harvard. Nama tersebut mengikuti daftar yang diisi mahasiswa dan seluruh staf universitas Harvard.

Kurang lebih dua hari setelah diluncurkan, sudah banyak mahasiswa yang menjadi anggota. Dalam beberapa bulan sudah lebih dari 2000 orang yang yang menjadi anggota termasuk warga Harvard. Dari sinilah kesuksessan Zuckerberg berawal. Sedikit demi sedikit situs ini merambah ke berbagai penjuru negara bahkan negara ini.

Banyaknya pengguna facebook tentu saja menarik perhatian advertiser. Dan disinilah titik balik kehidupan Mark Zuckerberg yang saat ini sebagai orang terkaya ke-321 di dunia versi majalah Forbes. Nilai kekayaannya diperkirakan mencapai 1,5 milyar dolar AS atau sekitar Rp.17,4 Trilyun ! Kekayaan sebesar itu tentu luar biasa untuk ukuran pemuda yang baru berusia 25 tahun. Apalagi dia ternyata tidak tamat kuliah alias drop out.

7 CYBER-CRIME TERBESAR DI DUNIA!

Berikut ini adalah 7 besar kriminal-kriminal di dunia maya, meskipun nama-nama mereka adalah samaran, tapi mereka nyata adanya.

1. Kodiak
Tahun 1994, Kodiak mengakses rekening dari beberapa pelanggan perusahaan besar pada bank utama dan mentransfer dana ke rekening yang telah disiapkan oleh kaki tangan mereka di Finlandia, Amerika Serikat, Jerman, Israel dan Inggris. Dalam tahun 2005, dia dijatuhi hukuman dan dipenjara selama tiga tahun. Diperkirakan Kodiak telah mencuri sebesar 10,7 juta dollar.

2. Don Fanucci
Di usia 15 tahun, Don Fanucci melakukan suatu rangkaian serangan pada bulan Februari 2000 terhadap beberapa situs web komersil ber-traffick tinggi. Dia dihukum tahanan kota di tempat tinggalnya, Montreal, Quebec, pada 12 September 2001 selama delapan bulan dengan penjagaan terbuka, satu tahun masa percobaan, pembatasan pemakaian Internet, dan denda. Kerusakan ekonomi secara global sebagai akibat serangan-serangannya itu diyakini mencapai 7,5 juta hingga 1,2 milyar dollar.

3. Pox
Salah satu pencipta virus e-mail “Love Bug” (iloveyou), Pox, diduga telah menginfeksi dan melumpuhkan lebih dari 50 juta komputer dan jaringan pada 4 Mei 2000. Virus tersebut juga menyerang komputer-komputer milik Pentagon, CIA dan organisasi-organisasi besar lainnya dan menyebabkan kerugian berjuta-juta dolar akibat kerusakan-kerusakan. Karena Pilipina tidak mempunyai undang-undang yang melawan kejahatan hacking komputer, Fox tidak pernah didakwa atas kejahatan-kejahatannya.

4. Mishkal
Mishkal dituduh sebagai salah satu godfather pemalsu kartu kredit di Eropa Timur. Dia dan rekanan-rekanannya dituduh memproduksi secara masal kartu kredit dan debet palsu. Pada satu titik, mereka dilaporkan memiliki pendapatan hingga 100.000 dollar per hari. Dia ditangkap namun kemudian dibebaskan setelah enam bulan ditahan, dan dengan segera dicarikan kedudukan di pemerintahan Ukrainia – sebuah posisi yang akan memberikan kepadanya kekebalan otomatis dari penuntutan lebih lanjut.

5. The Wiz dan Piotrek
The Wiz, 23 tahun, dan Piotrek, 27 tahun, dari Chelyabinsk, Rusia, dihukum untuk sejumlah tuntutan perkomplotan, berbagai kejahatan komputer, dan penipuan mengikat melawan lembaga-lembaga keuangan di Seattle, Los Angeles dan Texas. Di antaranya, mereka mencuri database dari sekitar 50.000 kartu kredit. Keduanya didenda dan dihukum sedikitnya tiga tahun penjara.

6. Roper, Red_Skwyre, dan Dragov
Tiga orang ini adalah inti dari jaringan kejahatan dunia maya dengan memeras uang dari bank-bank, Kasino-kasino internet, dan berbagai bisnis berbasis web lainnya. Strategi mereka sederhana, yakni meng-hack dan menahan proses transaksi rekening untuk sebuah tebusan sebesar 40.000 dollar. Didakwa menyebabkan kerusakan langsung lebih dari 2 juta poundstarling dan kerusakan-kerusakan tidak langsung sekitar 40 juta poundstarling. Dalam bulan Oktober 2007, trio itu dinyatakan bersalah dan dijatuhi hukuman delapan tahun penjara.

7. Bandit
Bandit memanipulasi kira-kira 500.000 komputer dan menyewakannya untuk aktivitas kejahatan. Dia ditangkap pada bulan November 2005 dalam sebuah operasi FBI, dan dihukum 60 bulan penjara, dan diperintahkan untuk menyerahkan sebuah mobil mewahnya seharga 58.000 dollar yang berasal dari hasil kejahatannya. Dia juga diperintahkan untuk membayar 15.000 dollar sebagai ganti rugi kepada pemerintah Amerika Serikat untuk komputer-komputer militer yang terinfeksi.

The Punks "S/T"

Lester Bangs gave em Alotta hype back in the day, ..............
      yet these Detroit punks still couldnt get a record contract,,,,,,,,
 then 77 '''''''''''    .
..........................................................................................................
then the END.

Outta Detroit city, The Punks were an obscure band that were only
around from '73-'77.  Influenced by the MC5, The Stooges, SRC, and Cooper.




rockin as fukkkk they even sound like a Stooges cover band at times.
   WiTh  Vocalist "Frantic" William Kuchon who sounds
like Iggy ala '72 .  With Frantic's manic, nonconformist persona combined
with loud + rockin' music,      rumors say they made for one bashing show.   In early '77 they changed their name to ''the End''
and gave it a run in NYC, unable to get a record deal they ended up
back in Detroit with nothing but these memories....

Mostly,  this shitz  really rocks + is a total proto-punk ,GIMME SOME SKIN/////////////////////////////

Moments in Life

The above four minute clip is an amazing reflection on modern life, that I found by reading a friend's blog, and just had to put up here onto Passy World.

The linking of the mini clips is perfect, the flow and the feel of it is just so perfect: a true masterpiece of YouTube cinemaphotography.

It comes from an interesting website at:
http://blogs.wnyc.org/radiolab/2009/08/14/16-moments/


Many people believe the old saying "Smile and the World Smiles With You", which is no better encapsulated in the following video on YouTube. Perhaps they are cliches, but "Success Breeds Success", "Make Every Day Count", "Greet the World with Open Arms", "Sieze the Day", and so on and so forth.

Well all I can say is a positive attitude has got to be better for you (and the rest of the world) than a grumpy bum, whinging and whining, self pitying, pessimistic, or paranoid approach to life.

It is all taken to the limit in this "500 Days of Summer" 2 minute clip from YouTube: (But has that classic feel good aura to the whole thing, just the kind of sweet fairy floss thing we love here at "Passy World"):




And one last item, as a contrast to the others. A wonderful ballad, all about some not so happy people and circumsatnces:
"Funeral for a Friend - History" :



So that's our reflective post done for this month, and here is a new cliche to add to the collection:

"Live each Day: Don't Waste Away".

Enjoy,

ROKOK TERMAHAL DI DUNIA

Ternyata Lucky Strike pernah mengeluarkan 1 bungkus rokok yang diklaim sebagai rokok paling mahal sedunia pada tahun 2006 silam, rokoknya sih standar memakai tembakau seperti rokok lainnya.

Ternyata yang membuat rokok ini sangat mahal adalah bungkus rokok yang dilapisi emas putih 18 karat dan ditambah dengan sebuah intan dan satu buah batu rubi.

Rokok dan bungkusnya ini hanya diproduksi satu buah saja di seluruh dunia ! Tujuan utama pembuatan bungkus rokok yang dibandrol $100.000 ini bukan untuk mencari profit, tetapi lebih difungsikan untuk menggenjot penjualan Lucky Strike.

merokok dapat menyebabkan kanker, serangan jantung, impotensi, dan gangguan kehamilan dan janin.

How to Get Guitar Tabs

When it comes to finding Guitar tabs on the Internet, the sites we use here at Passy World are these ones:

• "911 Tabs" at http://www.911tabs.com/

• "Ultimate Guitar" at http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/

• "Chordie" at http://www.chordie.com/

• "Guitare Tab!" at http://www.guitaretab.com/

Both 911 Tabs and Guitare Tab sometimes have links where we can listen to the Song we are getting the Tab for.

However, we did not have much luck getting the Guitare songs to play. The play link seems to go to a site called "Blastro" but then the songs did not come up. Maybe I was unlucky and picked the wrong songs to try out ? And for 911 Tabs, not all of the songs have this "listen to" function.

But Guitare Tab! did have the tablature for the whole Beatles Magical Mystery Tour album, all in one long web page, which was interesting.

In 911 tabs we can search on Band Name, as well as Song Name.
So we can just look for AC/DC songs if we wanted to.

So let's say we are interested in getting the Guitar Tab for
Carlos Santana's version of the song: "Black Magic Woman".

If we search 911Tab on song name, we soon obtain plenty of tabs, in fact we first get groups of Tabs and have to choose which group to navigate to:



So we picked the first group of 110 tabs, and then clicked. A
t the next level down we get tabs that are rated, and we usually choose one of the top of list highly rated tabs.



Note that some of the tabs are "Guitar Pro" or "Power Tab" tabs. These require software to be on your computer to use the tab. "Power Tab" is free and you can find information on how to download and use it at our previous post at: http://tinyurl.com/PassyPowerTab .

Guitar Pro is not free, and costs around $ US 60 to buy and download online.

Since we are only after some basic tabulature here, we will choose one of the higer rated plain guitar tabs, such as the one from "Ultimate Guitar Tabs" and we then get a plain tab like this:



with Tablature for Solos included as well:



It is usually worth checking out more than one tab, because sometimes the other tabs supply us some additional information, such as extra chords and guitar riffs to use.

If we just want to have a copy of the words to the song, then the "Lyrics Mode" site at: http://www.lyricsmode.com/ is great for this:

and a search using song name of "Black Magic Woman" soon gets us what we need:




And last but not least, it is always great to have a look and listen to somebody else playing the song when learning any new tune on the guitar. And there is no better place for this than YouTube.com :




So 911Tabs: a strange kind of name to be sayin',
but full of great tabs to be playin' :)

Enjoy,

Yach, intinya setelah mendaftar, kalian akan diharuskan untuk mengadopsi 1 jenis naga atau dinosaurus yang kalian suka, dan kalian harus membesarkannya dengan cara diberi makan secara teratur, dipakaikan item-item yang bermanfaat, & yang gak kalah pentingnya kalian harus rutin mengujunginya secara teratur.

Pada awal permainan, naga atau dino kalian hanya akan berupa telur, jadi gak perlu dikasih makan.Pemberian makanan hanya jika telur sudah menetas (proses menetasnya telur membutuhkan beberapa hari).Setelah menetas, rawatlah naga kalian dengan sebaik-baiknya agar bisa menghasilkan aura & naik level.Setiap naga atau dino kalian mencapai level 30, kalian secara otomatis akan memperoleh telur lagi yang bisa kalian pilih jenisnya untuk diadopsi.

LUKISAN TERTUA DI DUNIA

Chauvet Cave atau Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc Cave adalah nama sebuah gua yang terletak di Prancis bagian selatan. Di gua tersebut terdapat beberapa lukisan yang, sejauh ini, di klaim sebagai lukisan tertua di dunia, di perkirakan berumur lebih dari 32.000 tahun. Hal ini membuktikan bahwa pada saat itu (zaman es) manusia sudah mengenal sebuah bentuk seni walaupun masih begitu sederhana.
