What New In PSP 3000?

                                             

The PSP-3000 series will look like PSP-2000. Unlike the difference between the PSP-1000 and the PSP-2000, the new model seems just like an upgrade. Several upgrade made by Sony:

• Built-in microphone
• Enhanced, brighter screen
•   Enhanced Video-Out but doesn’t support a progressive output (that means non-HDTVs).

It Is Worth To Buy?

In my opinion, Yes and no. Why??

Yes if you’re looking to get that better screen, and be able to use all your current accessories.

No if you’ve just bought a PSP-2000 and are contemplating on getting the new unit.

Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day Is A Pagan Ritual??

Pagans would celebrate the "Feast of the Wolf" on February 15, also known as the Feast of Lupercalius in honour of Februata Juno, the Roman goddess of women and marriage, and Pan, Roman god of nature.

On this day, young women would place their names in an urn, from which boys would randomly draw to discover their sexual companion for the day, the year, and sometimes the rest of their lives. These partners exchanged gifts as a sign of affection, and often married.

Valentine's Day began as a pagan ritual started by Romans in the 4th century BCE to honor the god Lupercus. The main attraction of this ritual was a lottery held to distribute young women to young men for "entertainment and pleasure". Among other equally despicable practices associated with this day was the lashing of young women by two young men, clad only in a bit of goatskin and wielding goatskin thongs, who had been smeared with blood of sacrificial goats and dogs. A lash of the "sacred" thongs by these "holy men" was believed to make them better able to bear children.

The name from Lupercalia to St. Valentine's Day was done in CE 496 by Pope Gelasius, in honor of some Saint Valentine. There are as many as 50 different Valentines in Christian legends. Two of them are more famous, although their lives and characters are also shrouded in mystery. According to one legend, St. Valentine was a "lovers'" saint, who had himself fallen in love with his jailer's daughter.

How The Valentine’s Day Arise Throughout World?

Learn the ugly truth about Valentine’s day, French government banned the practice in 1776. In Italy, Austria, Hungry, and Germany also the ritual vanished over the years. Earlier, it had been banned in England during the 17th century when the Puritans were strong.

However, this culture not completely vanished, in the age of 1660 in France, Charles II revived it , then this culture spread to the New World. The money-maker, Charles Esther A. Howland, got an idea to make money, produced one of the first commercial American Valentine's Day cards in the 1840s. Then valentine industry has been growth ever since.
