how do i successfully research stocks for myself? I wish to start testing the stock market waters because I know being a young investor can be beneficial. At this point, I'm only slightly familiar with 'volume', the three types of stocks (penny, growth, blue chip), and the two general methods of making money (dividends and stock prices rising). But everything else -- especially detailed researching is extremely foreign to me. I'm tempted to just take internet advice, but I know that is not the most secure way to decide where to place my money. Yet besides reading opinion articles, I don't know which pieces of information about the company to search for, and furthermore, I have no idea about how to put these pieces of information together to form a comprehensive opinion about a stock. Any tips about researching stocks -- especially how company history etc-- plays into the mix are welcome. Thank you all in advance!

plz. help me to write the main idea of this article in the NY Times. in two pages.?

I wanted to know what you guys think after reading this article and who disagrees with it and why???? 2006 was the year we were reasonable Published: Sun, Dec 31, 2006 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By JOEL STEIN SPECIAL TO THE LOS ANGELES TIMES We spent five years acting hysterically, like a nation that was in a fight with Ricky Ricardo. We were insane people, screaming about politics, shoving tiny American flags on the corners of our news shows, convincing ourselves that flipping houses was a real job. There was a moment there when we even considered shunning French fries. But in 2006 it all changed. This was the year of adulthood, of sobriety, of pragmatism: the year of acting reasonably. The kind of year when you calmed down, thought it through, weighed your options and realized that there is no upside in telling the media that, yes, it does kind of suck when the vice president of the United States shoots you in the face. All of a sudden, we decided to approach events unemotionally. In fact, we were downright boring. At this point in Vietnam, college kids were destroying campuses and growing incredibly unflattering facial hair. In 2006, we asked a bunch of retirees to meet for a study group about Iraq. If they had done a better job, we'd probably be moving on to solving the Palestinian issue with a book club. And the Iraq Study Group didn't come up with the radical solution that everyone expected. Instead, it reasonably advised that -- slowly, when no one is looking -- we get the hell out of there. Al Gore's show It was such a serious, reasonable year that, in an affront to every study ever done about human psychology, millions of people willingly paid $7 to see Al Gore give a slide-show demonstration about carbon emissions. Faced with the opportunity of giddily discovering a bunch more planets and getting people excited about space for the first time in 50 years, astronomers convened in the most sober of places, Prague, Czech Republic, and had their head astronomer guy declare that if tiny, wobbly Pluto is a planet, then my astronomer butt is a planet, too. The symbol for this year was America's most rational man, Warren Buffet, deciding that the best use of $37 billion was to give it away. It turns out you can sock away a lot of money by not getting new glasses since 1896. Even people with a long record of insanity suddenly became well-reasoned deciders. President Bush fired Donald Rumsfeld. Whitney Houston divorced Bobby Brown. Britney Spears, the Elizabeth Taylor of our time, left Kevin Federline. Homeland Security responded to London's liquid bomb plot by allowing us to put lotion in see-through bags. Donald Trump met with a troubled Miss USA and restrained himself from firing her. Ford got rid of the Taurus. Jack Abramoff, when arrested for corruption, had the good sense to literally wear a black hat. Alan Keyes walked out of an interview with Borat. Oprah lectured James Frey about the rigors of journalism. The Wiggles, unlike all child super groups before them, were able to pass leadership down in a bloodless transition. When marketing campaigns tried to fool the masses, the masses rebuffed them using the complex risk-analysis skills we learned from Howie Mandel. As much as we loved talking about it, there was no way we were going to actually see "Snakes on a Plane." We used E. coli as a brilliant excuse to stop eating spinach forever. We decided the best way to play video games isn't fiddling with buttons on a PlayStation 3 but swinging the controller wildly like it was an actual sword or a tennis racquet on our Wii's. Being reasonable, it turns out, often makes us look even dorkier. It's as if we all got together and tried to prove that James Surowiecki book right. We voted Tucker Carlson as the first one off "Dancing with the Stars." We quit pretending we were going to use Mario Batali's tips on braising pig cheeks and instead watched intently as Rachel Ray showed us the proper way to cut the plastic off of food. It only took us one week to reject Katie Couric as a news source. We heard John Kerry try to tell a joke and decided it was not funny before we even figured out what he meant. We voted for Arnold Schwarzenegger because he made the environmental promises that Bush wouldn't. And we otherwise voted for Democrats based solely on the fact that they were not Republicans. Muhammad cartoons Principles, we learned, are overrated in this complicated world. When crazy Muslims start killing people over harmless Muhammad cartoons, newspaper editors put aside their journalistic responsibilities, consider their own safety and stop running Muhammad cartoons. When Judith Regan decided to print a too-cleverly-titled book about O.J. sort of, kind of, not really confessing, we thought long and hard and realized there's absolutely no reason there should be a publishing industry in Los Angeles. People were so levelheaded, I wouldn't be surprised if in the few days left in the year, everyone sells their hedge-fund shares. If we keep this pragmatism up for a little longer, maybe we will have an ideology to export to the Middle East after all.

The subprime crisis is only the tip of the iceberg for an Economic Meltdown? Is the subprime crisis part of the cyclical boom-bust system or is it a major economic meltdown or both? 1987 - 30% market crash investors lost 10% of 1987 GDP, set off by the 1985 Plaza Accord to push up the Japanese yen with an aim of reducing the growing US trade deficit with Japan. 1997 - Asian Financial Crisis all Asian economies going broke. The DJIA dropped 7.2% and the NY Stock Exchange had to suspend trading briefly to break the free fall. 2007 - a Debt Driven Financial crisis threatens to put an end to the decade-long liquidity boom. Should we salvage our money by relocating overseas? I dont think overseas markets are tainted with subprime debt. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/25/opinion/25rosner.html?_r=1&oref=slogin New York Times Article http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qC3YOFKTsTg Very Shocking Video about the Subprime Crisis.

Where Is The Money To Be Made W/loan Crisis? I see a lot of similarities with the loan market now to what happened during the savings and loan crisis of the 80's. I was not around to look at what the opportunities were then, and where money was made, and would like to know if anyone out here does. Was it in buying the deprecaited properties? was there certain stock types to buy? did gold go up? Any tips and links to articles will be helpful http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savings_and_Loan_crisis http://www.fdic.gov/bank/historical/s&l/

The Israeli Anglo-AmeriKKKan Axis of Evil! This article is the truth dont you agree??? The Israeli Anglo-AmeriKKKan Axis of Evil Junious Ricardo Stanton Jul 28, 2006 03:42 PDT *From The Ramparts* Junious Ricardo Stanton *The Israeli Anglo-AmeriKKKan Axis of Evi*l / "One day before the Israeli air strikes, the main partners and shareholders of the BTC pipeline project, including several heads of State and oil company executives were in attendance at the port of Ceyhan. They were then rushed off for an inauguration reception in Istanbul, hosted by Turkey's President Ahmet Necdet Sezer in the plush surroundings of the Çýraðan Palace. Also in attendance was British Petroleum's (BP) CEO, Lord Browne together with senior government officials from Britain, the US and Israel. BP leads the BTC pipeline consortium. Other major Western shareholders include Chevron, Conoco-Phillips, France's Total and Italy's ENI. (see Annex) Israel's Minister of Energy and Infrastructure Binyamin Ben-Eliezer was present at the venue together with a delegation of top Israeli oil officials. The BTC pipeline totally bypasses the territory of the Russian Federation. It transits through the former Soviet republics of Azerbaijan and Georgia, both of which have become US "protectorates", firmly integrated into a military alliance with the US and NATO. Moreover, both Azerbaijan and Georgia have longstanding military cooperation agreements with Israel. In 2005, Georgian companies received some $24 million in military contracts funded out of U.S. military assistance to Israel under the so-called 'Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program'." /The War on Lebanon and the Battle for Oil by Michel Chossudovsky The corporate mind control apparatus is primed and pumped to propagate the party line about Israel's right to defend itself (by engaging in acts that would be deemed war crimes if committed by people of color), being AmeriKKKa's only democratic ally in a volatile region and now with the bogus tape supposedly from al CIA Qaeda's second in command Ayman al-Zawahiri calling for an all out jihad against Israel the US media will go hog wild justifying the butchery Israel has unleashed in Lebanon and Palestine. "CAIRO, Egypt (AP) -- Al Qaeda's No. 2 leader issued a worldwide call Thursday for Muslims to rise up in a holy war against Israel and join the fighting in Lebanon and Gaza until Islam reigns from 'Spain to Iraq.' In a taped message broadcast by Al-Jazeera television, Ayman al-Zawahiri said the terrorist organization would not stand idly by while "these (Israeli) shells burn our brothers. 'All the world is a battlefield open in front of us,' said the Egyptian-born al-Zawahiri, second-in-command to Osama bin Laden. http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/07/27/zawahiri.ap/ The media is also saying bin-Laden will make some type of message of support for the Arabs. "Another new audio or video message from bin Laden was also expected in the coming days and was planned to deal with Gaza and Lebanon, according to IntelCenter. The U.S.-based independent group provides counter terrorism information to the U.S. government and media.: http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/07/27/zawahiri.ap/ That would be a real neat trick considering the real Osama bin-Laden is dead! The fact the US is supplying the ordnance and weaponry Israel is using to slaughter innocent civilians shows the Israelis and AmeriKKKan ruling elites are totally indifferent to the loss of innocent lives. The US media will even make a major leap of deception and spin it to make it seem Hamas and Hezbollah which were elected by their respective supports as part of the Palestinian and Lebanese governments are united with al-Qaeda. Meanwhile the real facts regarding the supposed flashpoint that started all this will be suppressed and swept down the memory hole as usual. As I have noted in previous posts, the lies Israel used to justify their war against Lebanon do not hold up under close scrutiny. The fact of the matter is, the Israeli troops and tank crew that were killed and captured (not kidnaped as the US media sock puppets reported) were in Lebanese territory, they had violated Lebanese territorial space. The Lebanese did not come into Israeli territory and kidnap Israeli soldiers and tank crews to facilitate a prisoner exchange! But the propaganda and psychological warfare surrounding Israel's unprovoked aggression into Lebanon and Palestine are merely the tip of the iceberg in a much wider geopolitical and strategic operation. It is all part of the Anglo-AmeriKKKan and Israeli axis of evil's overarching plan to invade, control and hold the region militarily, so they can expropriate and control the resources and the means of getting oil and gas from the Caspian Sea and Persian Gulf regions into global (Western and Asian) markets. It is part and parcel to the real reasons the US is in Afghanistan: to secure access to Caspian Sea resources via construction of trans-Afghanistan oil and natural gas pipelines (as well as control the opium trade). It is also why the US plutocrats and their NATO allies waged their illegal war in the Balkans: to prepare the landscape to secure European routes for gas and oil pipelines through that region and control the drug trade from Afghanistan into Eastern and Western Europe! The US mind control machinery did an excellent job of suppressing information about the war crimes and lethal devastation the US and NATO committed in the Balkans. Unfortunately for the US and Israel, the Arab world has their own telecommunications setup. It makes it harder for the Western mind control apparatus to dupe the masses here when the photos and images of the carnage the US and Israel have caused in the region are being flashed around the world for all to see. Make no mistake about it, Israel is a key player in the Anglo-AmeriKKKan oil and resource scramble. Israel has its own energy and resource needs (oil and water). Like any true barbarian from the Steppes of Central Eurasia, the Khazars will pillage, plunder and take what is not theirs' to get them. As reported by Michel Chossudovsky in his recent piece on the Global Research Website, the Ashkenazim are right in the thick of the war for oil. "But there is another dimension which directly relates to the war on Lebanon. Whereas Russia has been weakened, Israel is slated to play a major strategic role in 'protecting' the Eastern Mediterranean transport and pipeline corridors out of Ceyhan. The bombing of Lebanon is part of a carefully planned and coordinated military road map. The extension of the war into Syria and Iran has already been contemplated by US and Israeli military planners. This broader military agenda is intimately related to strategic oil and oil pipelines. It is supported by the Western oil giants which control the pipeline corridors. In the context of the war on Lebanon, it seeks Israeli territorial control over the East Mediterranean coastline. ..Israel is now part of the Anglo-American military axis, which serves the interests of the Western oil giants in the Middle East and Central Asia. While the official reports state that the BTC pipeline will 'channel oil to Western markets', what is rarely acknowledged is that part of the oil from the Caspian sea would be directly channeled towards Israel. In this regard, an underwater Israeli-Turkish pipeline project has been envisaged which would link Ceyhan to the Israeli port of Ashkelon and from there through Israel's main pipeline system, to the Red Sea. The objective of Israel is not only to acquire Caspian sea oil for its own consumption needs but also to play a key role in re-exporting Caspian sea oil back to the Asian markets through the Red Sea port of Eilat. The strategic implications of this re-routing of Caspian sea oil are far-reaching." The War on Lebanon and the Battle for Oil by Michel Chossudovsky www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle The events we see unfolding have been on the drawing board for quite some time now. The corporate elites and global bankers, the real shot callers, don't care thousands of innocent lives will be lost; that too is part of their dastardly plan for global depopulation via perpetual wars mixed with public and private policies that promote sterility, create famine and deadly pandemics (see the National Security Study Memorandum 200 (NSSM 200) - April 1974 to see just how diabolical and psychotic these people are). Israel's war on Lebanon is just one piece in a complex puzzle designed to benefit numerous players known and unknown: the Ashkenazim Zionists, the multinational oil consortiums, the military-industrial-technology hydra, the international financiers and the New World Order afficionados. They all have a symbiotic relationship with each other. They are working hard to bring their New World Order into existence, where the bulk of humanity will be reduced to cannon fodder, wage slaves, debt peons, Pavlovian consumers or prisoners. In this case the main culprits and identifiable axis of evil members are the US, Britain, Israel, their agents, pawns and operatives like the US Congress, the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee, the Council on Foreign Relations and the American Enterprise Institute to name a few. Keep this in mind as events continue to unfold, the bloodletting and the carnage escalate. -30-

Best place to purchase goods in Mexico.? I am planning on travelling to Mexico to purchase some wood carvings, paintings, ceramics and various decorations for my home.

Does anyone know if this is true and if so, can you please tell me where some of the best deals to find such articles would be in Guadalajara i.e. shops , markets , etc. And and any other shopping tips that I can use.

Selling your work? My son is an aspiring photographer... his teachers think he's pretty good and we do too, of course. He just bought a Nikon DSLR and is taking some excellent pictures. I bought him a photgrapher's market (I'm familiar with the other end of this since I've been a magazine editor). So the question is, does anyone have tips for him about submissions or other strategies for marketing photos to magazines, stock services, etc. Oh, and he has had published work although it was accompanying articles I wrote (ahem!). But that still counts ;-)

We new it was coming...Now Bush wants to include South America in NAFTA??? ".The Bush administration, having been rebuffed on plans to advance a Free Trade of the Americas Act that would open a free trade market to the tip of South America, now is working on the expansion one nation at a time, according to critics..." "The Bush administration plan is to get the trade agreement with Peru through Congress first, followed by trade agreements the administration already has negotiated with Panama, Columbia and South Korea." Of the four agreements, the Bush administration believes that the deal with Peru will raise the least opposition, paving the way for the other, more controversial, deals, officials said. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=58012 Congressional Quarterly confirms this strategy, quoting U.S. Trade Representative Susan C. Schwab as telling reporters the "administration has had, right from the start, a four FTA [free-trade agreement] strategy," in which deals with the other three agreements would be pushed through Congress as soon as the Peru deal passes. The Peru free trade agreement moved to center stage this week when the Senate Finance Committee voted to endorse it, making a debate on the floor of the Senate likely soon. The House Ways and Means Committee cleared the Peru trade deal by a Sept. 25 voice vote, setting the stage for debate on the measure on the House floor. Pobept.....The United States – Peru Trade Promotion Agreement was signed on April 12, 2006. Lots of thing are worked on, but this comes to the floor for debate soon... "The Peru free trade agreement moved to center stage this week when the Senate Finance Committee voted to endorse it, making a debate on the floor of the Senate likely soon. The House Ways and Means Committee cleared the Peru trade deal by a Sept. 25 voice vote, setting the stage for debate on the measure on the House floor." I don't believe it's come to the Senate floor before....Do you??? Roderick...I think Peru is below the Panamanian-Columbian border.

Is the Iraq war for oil? This is certainly eye opening. Read this article about an impending investigation of an oil tycoon giant who possible tipped off Iraq of America's invasion. On the eve of Wyatt's trial in the U.N. oil-for-food scandal, U.S. District Judge Denny Chin also allowed evidence that defense lawyers said unfairly suggested payments made by Wyatt to Iraq's state oil marketing organization were bribes passed on to Saddam Hussein. Wyatt goes on trial September 5 at federal court in Manhattan, accused of paying millions of dollars in kickbacks to Iraq to win oil contracts and corrupting the oil-for-food program. It administered some $67 billion worth of oil, and U.S. and U.N. investigations have found that lobbyists, U.N. and Iraqi officials enriched themselves through kickbacks and bribery. Thoughts? Arguments? http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSN3043997020070830?pageNumber=1

Build an informational website??? I wanted to get some tips and opinions on building an informational website. Is this a good niche? By information I mean just about anything dealing with information, such as articles, ebooks, etc. Maybe promoting other websites, etc. Oh, and also selling things such as ebooks, regular books, cd's, dvd's etc. Is this a good market? I am new to the whole small business world, but have been really trying. I do have a small website right now, but it is based on just selling variety new and used items, and I want to point toward something else. I do know about search engines, keywords, etc. so I do not need any tips on these. Thanks in advance for any answers!

What is behavioral economics? Is it like Freakonimics or Blink and Tipping Point stuff? I read an article in the NYT today about Obama's economics and he said, "The project of our new President is figuring out how do you create bottom-up economic growth, as opposed to trickle-down economic growth . . ." This is so counter-intuitive for me. I don't get it. I always thought that investment grew the economy. The only way to grow it from the bottom up would seem to require having a huge black market and then, of course, there are problems with that idea. What am I missing? Thanks.

15 years old and wants to invest?!? I'm 15 and have some money in the bank as well as on hand that I want to invest instead of just spend it all on Abercrombie clothes and such. I've wanted to invest for a couple of years now but just didn't know how to get started. I've read many articles and have a basic understanding of the stock market. I went to Fidelity and they said that I should invest 60% in domestic stocks, 10% foreign stocks, 25% bonds, and 5% in short term investments. Now I only have a little over $800 to invest and I was wondering what I could start out doing? I am in this for the long run and do hope to earn enough money to buy real estate in college so I can enter that market. I have the time, responsibility, and the 'brains' to do this. What stocks would you suggest I invest in? I need to build up my money first before I can get bonds. I know I need to diversify. I was thinking of getting some larger companies, like Johnson&Johnson, and some pennie shares. Please offer any tips available!! Thanks!!! =)

Rumors or nonsense { you decide } say Castro died in 1981 and was replaced - see details? According to an article I read located here - http://www.uncoveror.com/castro.htm It states " Fidel Castro died in 1981, and was replaced by a look-alike CIA plant. The dictator ate tainted shellfish and died. CIA infiltrators wasted no time in covering this up, and installing an agent named Alexis Papagos to impersonate Castro, and run the country. This information comes to THE UNCOVEROR via Cuban national, Igor Davidovich Martinez. Why, then, does the U.S. government maintain the embargo against Cuba? "The CIA is turning a great profit by selling contraband Cuban goods on the black market," says Martinez, "and they don't want to give that up." The CIA sees to it that the embargo stays. What tipped Martinez off? Before 1981, the real Fidel Castro nearly always wore a military uniform. After that year, "Castro," really Alexis Papagos, appeared more often in civilian clothing. " My question - Truth or nonsense ?

which is the best trip have you undertaken till date ? Hampi was not on our radar, while traveling to Chitradurga Fort, we planned for just a weekend getaway from Bangalore by car. After finishing the trip to Kalline Kote, we instinctively decided why not rush to Hampi? It is just 150 kms away, with small stretch of 18 kms of bad road before Kudilgi on NH 13. I happened to visit during 1978 along with my parents. In those days, it was typical village with a rustic atmosphere. There was not much interest among the tourist to visit this place, which was known as ruined city, without any guide we wandered cluelessly and we landed in the peak of summer to add to our discomfort. The only distinct memory was that of Inverted Gopuram of Virupakasha temple. After a gap of nearly 30 years I find that a new civilization has emerged. Perhaps after Hampi being declared a world heritage site in 1987, a mind blowing transformation has taken place at Hampi. It is as if history is being re-written, with guides, autorikshaw round trip, bike guides, and professional tour operators unleashing knowledge to tourists. There are exists lot of similarities between POMPEII & HAMPI. The common features are : 1. Road Network 2. Water Management 3. Temple construction 4. Public functions 5. Common Bath 6. Cultural Festivity 7 Art & Sculpture 8. Well defined markets.9 Brothels Lane. Trading activity were carried out between various parts of the world in both the periods. We find gems & jewellery being traded in the bazaars. All household articles such as pottery, grains, vegetables, fruits, beetlenut, flowers etc were being traded. Further brothel lanes were located in the bazaar for the visitors and artisans from outstation. Our first point of visit was Virupaksha temple which was guided by a foreigner, because we ignored the offer to be guided @ Rs 400/- for a trip, which we thought was exhorbitant. We entered the Virupaksha temple without any enterance fee ( between 6.30 to 8 am it is free entry) The sheer grandeur started unraveling. On the left there is a sanctum which is occupied by tourists for changeover, which is really surprising. The main temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, who is supposed to have been captivated by the dedication of Pampadevi. Lord Shiva consented to marry Pampa in his avatar as Virupaksha, the presiding deity. Behind the Virupaksha temple lies a room wherein we can view the inverted image of the main tower through a pin hole. It is application of Periscope principle. The bazaar in front of the Virupakasha temple is proposed to be shifted to another place to maintain the heritage look. The proposed shopping centre will be the main reporting centre for Hampi excursion. An organized trip with eco friendly mode of transport would be ideal. Further a fixed guide charges would be also be ideal depending on no of spots toured or time spent concept. After Virupaksha temple visit we walked across a lane adjescent to the right, just on a blinder, towards Hemkunta hill. Here one is astounded by the skills of rock carving work station.. It is like a canvas on which artist exhibits his painting. The granite was the main raw material for most types of monumental construction at the site – which was abundant in and around Hampi for over 200 kms. Traditionally, granite blocks were split by first cutting rows of closely spaced cubical holes into which wooden wedges were pounded. When wetted, the wedges expanded, thereby propagating deep cracks through the stone which split as per dimension required by the artisans. We found almost four temples, one was literally filled with water on the entrance, and other not so prominent temples, maybe created for low strata people of the times, even the poojary of the temple just gave us some insight, for which he was suitably tipped. The overnight heavy rain had made the rocky surface quite slippery, it was an adventure to climb Hemkunta hillock. The entire Hampi area, is visible in all its panaromic view. There is an acropolis type of two storey structure maybe for the kings to view. There is no description on this monument to my surprise. Once you start climbing down the steps which is neatly chiseled on the rocks it is adventurers delight, a neat landscaped garden leads to Sasvikalu Ganesha. It is a monolithic exposure of Lord Ganesha which is barricaded to prevent vandalism. Next we walk across we, come to Dodda Ganesh, which is again vandalized by Sultans, it is now a crude form, luckily the sanctum and veranda in not pillaged, the sculptures are exhuberance of dance and drama of the bygone era. Ugra Narasimha monolithic statue is located nearby along with Badavi Linga installed by a poor women. We got to know that autorikshaw guides are available @ Rs 250/- to take us around and we decided to hire such a guide. He spent 3 hours taking us around all the important landmark starting from Hemkunt Dodda Kalu Ganesh, Sasive Ganesh, Ugra Narasimha, Badavi Linga, Veerabhadra Temple, Lotus Mahal, Elephant’s Stable, Mahanavami Dibba, Hazaar Rama Temple & Vittala Temple. At the Mahanavmi Dibba, a celebration for Nine days was unfolded by the royalty. The king witnessed the cultural programmes such as folk dances, puppet show, fancy dress, fireworks, military parade, procession of horses and elephants, beginning with pooja to lord Durga. Even today the Government of Karnataka is trying to recreate the tradition of Vijayanagar empire by organizing HAMPI UTSAV in November first week every year. The Sultans wanted to build their own architectural edifice to match Vijaynagar rulers, Lotus Mahal, a summer resting palace was created. It had its own pond to cool the surroundings. Behind the Lotus Mahal, Elephant stables in 11 domed structure is built to house the royal animal. Once again this area is barricaded for renovation. Behind this stable if one is adventurous one can go on a trek to visit a temple winding into a mini forest. There is a small temple by the side of Lotus temple which on the outer wall of Lotus Mahal. After disposing the auto guide. We visited independently visited the balance places Sri Krishna temple, where one notices the vandalism of Sultans, who literally burnt down the temple along with people. It is rarely visited by tourist, the sculpture work is marvelous. Then went around back to Hazaar Rama temple, which is the ultimate exposure of the skills of the artisans on rock hewn walls, temples and pillars. It is a culmination of the golden era of Vijaynagar empire. It looks as if the Kings got into a mode of celeberation of life, without warfare. We find scenes from the epics Ramayana, hunting scenes, battleground warfare, courtesans entertaining the kings, hunting scene in olden days and in general description of all day to day events in the life of the royalty. The underground Shiva temple is a marvel. It is fed by water channels, which have entered the temple premises due to lack of conservation effort. Will ASI do some quick thinking otherwise it meet the fate of Musical pillar at Vittala temple. Museum at Kamalapura houses some of the restored sculptures and various other pieces of artwork is stored. Many foreign travelers scourge HAMPI in their quest for the hidden treasures of HAMPI by camping months together. Someday, someone is bound to hit the jackpot. Till then Hampi literally rocks.
