Harlem Globetrotters: Team That Changed The World (Part 3)

admin — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 17:13:10 +0000

If anyone doubts that the Harlem Globetrotters were incomparable athletes as well as world-class entertainers, this documentary will put them wise. The documentary features interviews with everyone from former Globetrotters and NBA coaches to Henry Kissinger. “The Team That Changed The World” lays out not only the development of the team itself – how original Globetrotters Marques Haynes and Reece “Goose” Tatum turned a sport into a form of vaudeville without sacrificing amazing displays of skill – but also the volatile racial politics of the 1930s, ’40s, and ’50s, when the Globetrotters were at their peak. In only an hour, the documentary argues persuasively that this basketball team, as they toured the world, became a symbol of racial progress and American good will. It’s not the same as seeing the Globetrotters live, but fans of these great performers will find this documentary a pleasure. (This is Part 3 of 7)

Swaminarayan Akshardham in New Delhi epitomises 10000 years of Indian culture in all its breathtaking grandeur, beauty, wisdom and bliss. It brilliantly showcases the essence of India’s ancient architecture, traditions and timeless spiritual messages. The Akshardham experience is an enlightening journey through India’s glorious art, values and contributions for the progress, happiness and harmony of mankind.

The temple complex was inaugurated on 6 November, 2005.

Quedlinburg Germany Castle Views UNESCO world heritage site

admin — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 23:11:55 +0000

Quedlinburg, former royal palatinate and member of the Hanse League, is a charming mediaeval city, over 1000 years old. It lies to the North of the Harz mountains. Its fascination derives from its narrow winding lanes covered with ancient cobble-stone and its spacious squares ringed by half-timbered buildings, and dominated by the massive sand-stone mound which bears the castle and the Romanesque Collegiate Church of St. Servatius. This is where Germany’s history began more than 1000 years ago. At the foot of the castle-hill, Saxon Duke Henry is to have been offered the RoyalCrown in 919. He and his successors made the Quedlinburg palatinate an important centre of imperial politics. Henry I was buried here in 936. On the hill, his widow Queen Mathilde founded a Ladies’ Convent which continued to exist for nearly 900 years. A priceless church treasure still reflects the splendour of the Ottonian dynasty. The halls and chambers of the former Convent now hold the Castle-Museum, featuring exhibitions on the history of town and convent, and still awing the visitors with their dignified ambiance. The greatest attraction in fact is Quedlinburg in its entirety. Some thirteen hundred half-timber buildings arrange themselves at the foot of Castle-Hill in quasi organic patterns on an area of about 80 hectares. Richly decorated facades exhibit the historic development of the half-timber architecture – like in a picture-book. The completeness of this historic townscape is unique among …

Sonic Next Gen “Sonic Mach Speed”: His World {Zebrahead}-VHM

admin — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 05:12:03 +0000

This is a video from me, DarkspinesSonic AKA Da1AndOnlySonic, showing the mach speed areas Sonic has in Sonic Next Gen on Very Hard Mode, each performed flawlessly, with the collection of many rings in each area, for your entertainment. My personal favorite version of His World by Zebrahead plays in the background. I made this choice because it is of a faster tempo than the other versions, making it suitable for the presentation of the mach speed areas. Although this video is purely for your entertainment, this displays how to get many rings, as well as finish fast. So don’t blink or you might miss something. Enjoy!^_^ PS Anyone who wants an extremely high quality version of this simply send me a message.^_^
