Song Identification, Possibly Russian?

Please help me to identify this song. I THINK it might be Russian Opera or something. I don't even know where i heard it. Apologies if my tempo is slow or my rhythm is off, i recorded this using an online piano, so i was clicking the screen to make the notes :P

I was looking at "Tales of the blode" ... for some reason i thought that i had heard this song from there, since they seem to use random songs here and there.... no luck. The closest thing was a song with similar sounding notes from Tales of the Blode 7.

Speed is power, name for this in martial arts?

In some martial arts, like karate, you learn that speed is more important than force for throwing powerful punches. Is there a name for this idea/concept/technique? The name doesn't need to be English, in fact I would prefer its Japanese name.212.123.1.142 (talk) 10:25, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Inertia ? Speed and force are related, though, as a mass with more speed with deliver more force on the target. StuRat (talk) 18:27, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What MMORPGs allow us to have a reasonably wide latitude in editing/remodeling our houses?

Asheron's Call was my first MMO. Turns out, their houses don't allow us to remodel by changing floors, walls, add rooms, etc.

I was suggested Minecraft, an MMO with the widest building-editing latitude known to players anywhere, but I had to decline because its graphics were state-of-the-art when I was 7.

What other MMOs allow us to edit virtual private property in many ways, so that we have many design options (and even, hopefully, expansion options?) Thanks in advance. --129.130.219.199 (talk) 20:09, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Second Life perhaps. APL (talk) 21:00, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Minecraft was probably suggested because of it's gameplay. There are of lots of good games with so-so or NO graphics. Heck froze over (talk) 21:18, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, while Minecraft's graphics are "Retro", they require a surprising amount of processing and graphics power to render well. They may be cubes, but there's roughly a zillion of them in view at any given time. APL (talk) 21:40, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

City of Heroes has a pretty flexible system for building bases for player supergroups (guild equivalents) but doesn't have personal player housing. You can start a supergroup at level 10, which is easy to reach, but generating enough income to decorate your base on your own is challenging. LOTRO player housing is quite expensive and can be decorated, but not remodelled or expanded in the way you're looking for. I either can't recall or haven't tried the player housing in any of the other MMOs I've played. MorganaFiolett (talk) 15:48, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
