How to get that Nightwish sound

OK, folks, I was dying to know how to get that "nightwish" sound for awhile, and i found this thread in their forum, it explains how to get their sound, or a very close one. It even explains Tuomas` keyboard and synthesizer models and how to get his tone; how to get Emppu`s tone, even Marco`s bass tone, and even what to practice and know, to sing like Tarja. :) Just lovely...pure information! Now for those that don`t know abou them: Nightwish is a metal band, now it is the pure excellence of music, the keyboardist composes all their music and it`s very cool, one of my favorite bands, so, worship them, cuz i just said so. :) lol

Nonetheless, I recommend everybody to search for your own individual sound rather than copy, this is for fun, educational, music and any weird other purposes u got. :)

Go read the thread.

MSN Money - 5 lessons the rich can teach you

Yet another interesting article. This time it is on what the rich can teach you by what they do. I just read they give away more to charities than average people, ironic, huh? ;)

And it starts like this:

" Personally, I'm not sure how much the average person can learn from the Donald Trumps or George Soroses of the world.

We might envy their lifestyles or their bank accounts, but very, very few of us will ever approximate their wealth.

Most of us, though, have a shot at being millionaires. Last year the number of households worth $1 million, not counting their primary residence, grew 21% to 7.5 million, according to Chicago-based research firm Spectrem Group.

Studying the habits of this relatively large and growing group of affluent folks can teach us a lot. These people don't just have money; they treat it differently than people farther down the economic ladder..."

MSN Money - 9 ways to look rich but live cheap

This article, vary useful by the way, shows you how to "live cheap, look rich", something we all desire to do although not having a penny in our pockets, but hey, at least you`ll know what to do when you DO have that penny. ;) Check it out...

" Want to look as if you’re living a wealthier lifestyle than you actually are? Me too! In fact, I come from a long line of frugal women who obeyed the motto: “Live well, look rich and never let the world know how little you're really paid.” An excellent philosophy, which can be summed up as “Live cheap, look rich.”

Sure, I daydream about having millions to throw around -- and so do you. (Americans spend about $25 billion each year on lottery tickets in fruitless pursuit of this dream.) But people who have mastered the Live Cheap, Look Rich way of life know that it’s not about having more money, it’s about getting more out of life for the money you have.

And looking (and feeling) well-heeled while you do it. “Just because you don’t have a fat wallet means you have to go without life’s pleasures,” says Shel Horowitz, author of “The Penny-Pinching Hedonist” and founder of the FrugalFun.com Web site. Here is a quick boot camp on how to cultivate a more affluent way of life without actually spending a lot of money on it..."

"Muelas con calidad" by yours truly, aka "me"...

"Muelas con calidad"

aprendidas en las montañas de constanza
en un ano sabatico y peregrinal,
buscando mi propio ser y verdad
no encontre ni mielda, nama encontre muelas refinadas
entre campos de fresa y remolacha
"tantas curvas buenas pa pone un pueto e veldura"
me decia el shaman k le dijera a cualkier dulzura
o "tantas curvas y yo sin freno" y me aseguraba
k ella me daria amor del bueno
