My comment on Azada!!!!

Three weeks ago, I download Azada on http://www.azureusgame.com/ . In some status, it is rather good.



Azada http://www.azureusgame.com/Puzzles/Azada.html plays like a delicious blend of a Mystery adventure with a casual puzzle game. The story keeps interested in the long-run, while the variety of puzzles treating you from moment to moment with new entertainment. And it's horrendously addictive. Azada http://www.azureusgame.com/Puzzles/Azada.html is a top notch magical mystery for all ages.



From another aspect, Azada's http://www.azureusgame.com/Puzzles/Azada.html greatest strength can also be a main weakness-variety. The item-hunting stages are superb, but every puzzle page you encounter won't be as entertaining. Not everyone likes jigsaw puzzles or memory matching games, which could make some roll their eyes in disgust every time one of these comes around. Fortunately you can use purple gems to skip puzzles, and Its is forgiving enough to keep the difficulty low so you can complete them and move on to greener pastures.


Its presentation is excellent on all fronts. The music and sound effects match the mysterious atmosphere but keep things light-hearted and charming. There are a number of small visual effects that brighten up the scenes and liven-up the otherwise still scenery.


Azada http://www.azureusgame.com/Puzzles/Azada.html is an alarmingly entertaining game with good variety and a delightful set of puzzles. The Myst-like atmosphere melding with Hidden Expedition-type items hunting makes it extremely addictive, and the slight touch of adventure keeps you in for the long haul.



Above all, it is a wonderful adventure game. Have fun!!!

Mamma Mia!

What's the story?


Swedish songsters ABBA inspire a musical feast that's both sweet and surprisingly spicy. Sophie Sheridan is about to be married to her true love, Sky, but has no father to give her away. What's a bride to do but go poking through Mom's past for answers? In the pages of an old diary she finds a shocking secret: any of three men could be her father. She sends a letter to each one, hoping to discover who has the right to escort her down the aisle... and throwing a big fat Greek monkey wrench into Mom's life.


Three Good Reasons



  • 1 The legendary, luminous Meryl Streep scores points for 50+ women everywhere by stealing the show from her equally gorgeous onscreen daughter (Amanda Seyfried of Mean Girls).

  • 2 Fans of the stage show may have thought there was no way to improve on it, but the Greek scenery (including Pelion and Skopelos) provides a breathtaking backdrop for the tale.

  • 3 This is the type of musical where you go into the theater humming the songs. So grab your friends and go prove to the world that disco never died.


Bet You Didn't Know


The region of Mt. Pelion, where parts of this movie were filmed, has also been graced by another legendary wedding. Tradition names it as the site of the marriage of Thetis and Peleus, parents of the mythical hero Achilles.

Sex symbol Jessica Alba quitely weds long-time beau

"Fantastic Four" star Jessica Alba has quietly wed long-time boyfriend and producer Cash Warren in a private ceremony, media reported Thursday.


The 27-year-old actress, who is pregnant with Warren's child, exchanged vows at the Beverly Hills Courthouse Monday, her publicist Brad Cafarelli confirmed to People, but giving no further details.


Alba and Warren, 31, met on the set of the "Fantastic Four" in 2004. The couple announced their engagement shortly after Abla confirmed her pregnancy in December last year.


Her wedding was such a quiet affair that even her brother, Josh Alba, was apparently kept from it.


When reached by Us Weekly magazine with the news, he responded: "My sister!? I'm going to have to call her!"


When asked if Warren suited his sister, Alba said: "Well, he's my brother-in-law now!"


The sex symbol shot to fame as an action star on TV's "Dark Angel," then in films including "Fantastic Four" and "Sin City."


Alba charts high in men's magazines' lists of the "sexiest" women in the world. She was No. 1 to FHM readers last year, and dropped to No. 3 this year.

Coffee

A few weeks ago I watched a South Korean drama with the name "The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince".


I was deeply impressed with those various fragrant coffee after watching this drama. I do dream


of being an excellent barista one day because I think a cup of fragrant coffee will bring people with


energy and hope. Most of us drink coffee everyday, but few of us know much about coffee itself.




Coffee is a widely consumed stimulant beverage prepared from roasted seeds, commonly


called beans, of the coffee plant. Coffee was first consumed in the 9th century, when it was


discovered in the highlands of Ethiopia. From there, it spread to Egypt and Yemen, and


by the 15th century had reached Persia, Turkey, and northern Africa. From the Muslim world,


coffee spread to Italy, then to the rest of Europe and the Americas. Today, coffee is one of


the most popular beverages worldwide.


Today, I'd like to say someting about the relationship between coffee and health.


Scientific studies have examined the relationship between coffee consumption and an array


of medical conditions. Most studies are contradictory as to whether coffee has any specific


health benefits, and results are similarly conflicting regarding negative effects of coffee


consumption.


Coffee appears to reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, heart


disease, diabetes mellitus type 2, cirrhosis of the liver, and gout. Some health effects are


due to the caffeine content of coffee, as the benefits are only observed in those who drink


caffeinated coffee, while others appear to be due to other components. For example, the


antioxidants in coffee prevent free radicals from causing cell damage.


Coffee's negative health effects are mostly due to its caffeine content. Research suggests


that drinking caffeinated coffee can cause a temporary increase in the stiffening of arterial


walls. Excess coffee consumption may lead to a magnesium deficiency or hypomagnesaemia,


and may be a risk factor for coronary heart disease. Some studies suggest that it may have


a mixed effect on short-term memory, by improving it when the information to be recalled is


related to the current train of thought, but making it more difficult to recall unrelated information.


Nevertheless, the mainstream view of medical experts is that drinking three 8-ounce


(236 ml) cups of coffee per day (considered average or moderate consumption) does not


have significant health risks for adults.

Above all, it is a wonderful adventure game. Have fun!!!

Adventure in Azada

Azada http://www.azureusgame.com/Puzzles/Azada.html is completely addicting adventure game fun.It combines elements from a number of casual genres to create a game that's one of the most unique titles


I've played for almost a month. Take a point-and-click game such as Myst, then combine it with item hunting from Mystery Case Files and throw in a dash of short puzzles just for fun. Hum, everything is so elegantly and charming that you can't help but keep playing, both to uncover the rest of the story and to experience more puzzles.


At the beginning of Azada http://www.azureusgame.com/Puzzles/Azada.html , I came in a locked room listening to a spirit named Titus who has been imprisoned by his great uncle. In order to release him I must solve a series of puzzles within his manor. The puzzles are presented in the form of pages of a book with eight making up each chapter. As you piece together these chapters, more of Titus' story is revealed. In each page, I came into challenges with a different type of puzzle to solve, ranging from matching games to sliding tile puzzles, memory matching and much more.


The most common task I undertook is item-hunting, which just happens to be the most enjoyable part of playing Azada http://www.azureusgame.com/Puzzles/Azada.html . In these levels I saw a still scene of a room inside the mansion. Move the cursor around and watch for sparkles indicating what you can interact with. Click to uncover items, clues, or new parts of the puzzle I need to complete the page. Many of the rooms have a number of items you'll need to find and use in conjunction with each other, and creating several "stages" within the page. The difficult level in these puzzles is fine-tuned to give you just enough challenge to keep you interested but not frustrate you.


Of course, each chapter of Azada http://www.azureusgame.com/Puzzles/Azada.html usually has around 30 minutes' time limit. I always can't finish tasks in the limit time. So when you were playing, you can request hints during the item-hunting scenes at the cost of 5 minutes each, but use them sparingly! Azada http://www.azureusgame.com/Puzzles/Azada.html also give a limited number of gems to use that allow you to skip puzzles.



Have fun from Azada! Happy everyday J

Build My Most Desired House in Build-a-lot

I thought that the world of real estate intimidating, but HipSoft's tycoon game Build-a-lot http://www.azureusgame.com/Action/Build-a-lot.html makes it seem easy. With a few clicks of the mouse I can build the houses dreaming of. Also I can buy, renovate and sell properties in one time.



Build-a-lot's http://www.azureusgame.com/Action/Build-a-lot.html interface is colorful and very easy to get the hang of. for example, to construct a high building, , all the work you have to do is click on an empty lot and select the type of building you want, and then your construction crew will get to work provided. Of course, you have the required blueprint, enough workers to do the job and enough building materials, all of which cost money. Again, ordering these items is as simple as clicking a tab from the menu at the bottom of the screen and selecting the appropriate icons. In addition to houses, you can construct various buildings that grant unique advantages. For example, to building a workhouse, this lets your hiring new workers at half price and gives you the ability to inspect houses so that they never have to be repaired. A bank can give you collect interest on your money. And with a post office you can receive letters at any of the houses you own that typically contain some kind of check or refund that gives you a little boost of extra cash.



In Career mode of Build-a-lothttp://www.azureusgame.com/Action/Build-a-lot.html , you can assume the role of a contractor who works with the mayors of eight different towns to improve property value and curb appeal. In each level the mayor gives you a specific set of goals - typically three or four - to complete in a set time limit such as build a post office, build four Tudor-style homes, earn a rental income of $60,000 per month, or earn a total of $250,000 cash. Achieving these goals requires balancing various resources and managing your all-important cash flow. You'll start each level owning a certain number of vacant lots, which can be developed any way you choose. You can build a variety of different houses, from modest one-level ramblers to ostentatious estates, mansions and even castles. You can also build other structures like banks, workhouses, sawmills, museums and skating rinks.


It also adds to the experience greatly that each mayor has a distinct personality that influences what he or she asks you to do. One mayor, for example, is partial to Tudor-style homes and will ask you to build a lot of them; another wants to attract wealthy retirees by building estates on premium lakefront land, while another is concerned about safety in her hillside town and makes a fire station the first priority. When you've completed each town, the mayor will give you a valued and unique personal possession as a memento.



Do you like Build-a-lot http://www.azureusgame.com/Action/Build-a-lot.html ? I have played it for a long time. It has brought me a lot fun!



In Build-a-lothttp://www.azureusgame.com/Action/Build-a-lot.html , rub elbows with the mayors of eight locales where I buy and sell land, build and upgrade homes and special buildings, and help communities make their dreams a reality and thrive. The settings take builders from ornery towns and the countryside to the not-so-wild west known as Granite Springs and to Palm Grove, a Hollywoodish spot aiming to have its own film festival in hopes that it rivals Cannes.


The main factors I do in Build-a-lot http://www.azureusgame.com/Action/Build-a-lot.html includes buying blueprints, training workers, purchasing materials, inspecting houses to stave off damage, and building, of course. The steps to take depend on the goal and resources available. Two special buildings, the Workshop and the Sawmill provide added bonuses in lowering the cost of training workers and the price of lumber. However I must spend money and workers in building these which don't bring in any rent money.


I can also build two types of banks, one where all profits go to charity and one where you keep the profits. However, keeping the profits means Mr. Taxman will come knocking on your door with a huge property tax bill especially on larger homes. If you don't have much money, you will fell that the tax bill climbs faster than a credit card with high interest rates.


Build-a-Lot http://www.azureusgame.com/Action/Build-a-lot.html gives players more freedom for creativity. I'd like to see more buildings to include a special feature like the one that comes with the post office. After building the first post office, I can get mail at any of the places you own. These letters are usually the bearer of great news and added funds - small but helpful. Perhaps, the cinema could send movie rentals and a much needed break from hard labor. Is it a good idea?



If you don't know what to do after work, you can play Build-a-Lot http://www.azureusgame.com/Action/Build-a-lot.html , just like me to construct you own houses! *-* You can download a free trail on http://www.azureusgame.com/ . ^-^

Attack on Pearl Harbor

Dec 7 is a memorable day in history. On the morning of Sunday, December 7, 1941,United States Pacific Fleet base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was attacked by the Empire of Japan's Imperial Japanese Navy. This event made the United States enter World War II. Two aerial attack waves, totalling 350 aircraft, were launched from six aircraft carriers withthe intent to destroy the United States Pacific Fleet.
The attack wrecked two U.S. Navy battleships, one minelayer, and two destroyers beyond repair, and destroyed 188 aircraft; personnel losses were 2,333 killed and 1,139 wounded. Damaged warships included three cruisers, a destroyer, and six battleships (one deliberately grounded, later refloated and repaired; two sunk at their berths, later raised, repaired, and restored to Fleet service late in the war). Vital fuel storage, shipyards, and submarine facilities were not hit. Japanese losses were minimal, at 29 aircraft and five midget submarines, with 65 servicemen killed or wounded.
The intent of the strike was to protect Imperial Japan's advance into Malaya and the Dutch East Indies – for their natural resources such as oil and rubber – by neutralizing the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Both the U.S. and Japan had long-standing contingency plans for war in the Pacific, continuously updated as tension between the two countries steadily increased during the 1930s. Japan's expansion into Manchuria and French Indochina were greeted with steadily increasing levels of embargoes and sanctions by the United States and others. In 1940, under the Export Control Act, the U.S. halted shipments of airplanes, parts, machine tools, and aviation gas, which Japan saw as an unfriendly act. Nevertheless, the U.S. continued to export oil to Japan, in part because it was understood in Washington cutting off oil exports would be an extreme step, given Japanese dependence on US oil exports, likely to be taken as a provocation by Japan. In the summer of 1941, after Japanese expansion into French Indochina, the U.S. ceased oil exports to Japan, in part because American restrictions on internal oil use were beginning. President Franklin D. Roosevelt had earlier moved the Pacific Fleet to Hawaii and ordered a buildup in the Philippines, hoping to deter Japanese aggression in the Far East. The Japanese high command was (mistakenly) certain an attack on the United Kingdom's colonies would inevitably bring the U.S. into the war, so a pre-emptivestrike appeared to be the only way Japan could avoid U.S. interference in the Pacific.
The attack was one of the most important engagements of World War II. Occurring as it did before a formal declaration of war, it pushed U.S. public opinion from isolationism to an acceptance war was unavoidable, as Roosevelt called December 7, 1941 "… a date which will live in infamy."
