French Quarter Condo Rental Photos and Description
Condominium, 4 Bedrooms, 3.5 Baths (Sleeps 8) Optional 5th bedroom allows for 10
Accommodations: The penthouse atop historic Jax Brewery (circa 1890) is no longer a beer brewery but is now perhaps the most luxurious penthouse in the French Quarter. There are 4 bedrooms (5th bed optional) including one loft room with glass walls and ceilings for spectacular views. The penthouse at Jax Brewery, where old meets new. 3.5 baths sleeps 8-10
Often touted as the best location and views in the city, the Jax Brewery penthouse is located in and overlooks the heart of the French Quarter and the "Crescent City Bend" of the Mississippi River. Only the finest interior finishes are found in this one of a kind rooftop palace. Spectacular views of the river are a 24-hour a day event here as the penthouse's riverfront walls are all glass, giving you the opportunity to watch the cruise ships and paddle wheelers all day and night. There is no wonder why this palace in the sky is a favorite of movie stars, celebrities, corporate executives, and the rich and famous from around the world
Rest well knowing that you are safe and sound in this very private and secure residence with security cameras, secure pass-code access, and private key access elevators in lobbies and corridors. Enjoy a midday or midnight dip in the private rooftop swimming pool while watching your favorite movie on the outdoor big screen plasma TV. Walk to your favorite restaurant or jazz club: you are within short walking distance to anywhere in the French Quarter.
Want to enjoy a horse drawn buggy ride? No problem: they are located right outside of your front door. Want to take a paddle wheel riverboat cruise? Again, there is no problem since the historic Natchez docks right behind the Jax Brewery. Board a streetcar, which passes behind the property, and take a beautiful ride down St. Charles Avenue through the Garden District sections of the city.
From this rooftop perch you can watch the sunset from the pool deck or the sunrise from your riverside deck. Enjoy your morning coffee on the huge balcony, or sip wine in the evening while enjoying the ever-present breeze off of the river. The rooftop overlooks the most famous landmarks in the Quarter: Jackson Square, the Pontalba Apartments (the oldest apartments in the country), and the St. Louis Cathedral, which all are located right across the street.
The Jax Brewery penthouse is ideally located for Mardi Gras, Jazz fest, and all of the French Quarter festivals and events. Famous Royal Street which is renowned for antique shopping, art galleries, boutiques, and restaurants is only a short walk away, as is Bourbon Street and all of its entertainment, energy, and excitement.
The penthouse is private: accessible only by locked elevator. The rooftop amenities include: hot tub/pool with 60" outdoor plasma TV; Viking BBQ center and cooking station; seafood/crawfish boiling station; cabana with 3 bathrooms; Viking commercial kitchen (including everything you need for cooking); and outstanding views day and night of the Mississippi River, French Quarter, and downtown Central Business District skyline. See pictures attached of the day and night views.
There is always something happening in the Quarter, be it a festival, parade, convention, or just a beautiful day. Walk to your favorite restaurant, take a paddlewheel cruise right out of your back door, go on a horse drawn buggy ride on a cool night, and explore jazz clubs and bars only a few steps away. This is a one of a kind property in the greatest city in the world...

Well, you heard our opinionated Q media panel debate their media stories of the week. One of which, was the story of "exaggerations" from the climate change scientists at the IPCC. How well do you think the media is doing at covering the shades of grey around climate change? Do you feel you can get accurate information?

Character Selection
After setting all of your options and watching the intro movies, you'll need to choose your main character. The story is very much the same for both; there are just small differences between Jude's and Milla's viewpoints at certain points of the story, and you only see the viewpoint of the character you control; if they're separated, you'll see what the other did not. The only other major difference is that a different battle theme plays depending on your character; I believe Jude's is far better.
Jude Mathis
A kind, clever medical student who left home to attend school in the capital city. Poised to graduate, Jude is eager to find his purpose in life.
If you choose Jude, then start following along here: Jude's Beginning
Milla Maxwell
A mysterious young woman accompanied by four unseen beings. She comes across as calm, collected, and wise beyond her years.
If you choose Milla, then start following along here: Milla's Beginning
Chapter 1
The story starts here in Fennmont! Even though there are two different characters, as stated before, a playthrough will be very similar. Notes will be included throughout the walkthrough to let you know when something character-specific needs to be made known.
Press R1 (the Navi Button) on the field to view your current objective. You can also check your current objective or read a detailed synopsis of the story from the Event List on the menu.
Also, keep in mind that you can Quick Save anywhere; you can only store one Quick Save file at a time, so be sure to use Memory Rings regularly when you come across them for multiple saves.

|Apple Gel
|Talim Medical School
From the start here in the Teaching Wing, head west just a bit to find a row of lockers; examine the left side of them to find Orange Gel. Feel free to talk to the NPC's around here (though it is a bit odd not to be able to talk to everyone; just the ones with smileys above their heads; the smileys will have open mouths if you haven't talked to them yet, and close mouths if you have), then make your way east to the Student Services area. Nothing of note in here, so continue outside. You can press SQUARE to see your map and all the places you can go, but for now, you can only head north and enter the Reception area to your west.
After a quick scene, you'll receive the Class Credit Form. Head southwest into the Outpatient Wing, then move to the end of the hall to Examination Room 5 to advance the story. After the scene, go back into the Examination Room and check the desk for a Life Bottle, then leave the building to be on our way to find Professor Haus. You can explore a bit more now -- but not by much.
Return to the Student Services building, and you should see a man sitting in a chair just to the east of the entrance. He should have a green (!) above his head; this signifies a Sub Event, so talk to him to unlock your first one: The Cycle of Rieze Maxia. Make sure to check out all Sub Events as you go along for more tidbits to the story, as well as shots at some Titles! From there, continue back to the Teaching Wing where you first started to find another Sub Event: Rumors About Jude. Once you've seen both Sub Events, head back outside to the three-way split to the east and take the southeastern path to the Central Plaza. Note the Memory Rings as you come across them; save often, and in different files, just to be safe.
First, make your way northwest and into the Hotel Fenntasia - Lobby. Ride the elevators at the end of the hall to the 3F Hallway and check both rooms up here. Room 302 has 100 gald in an urn beside the door, and Room 303 has Apple Gel in the dresser beside the bed. Return to the Plaza and move southwest next, entering the Samsara Trading Post 1F; it is here where you'll find all of the shops in one handy place! (Don't worry about buying anything though; the money will be better used later, and we'll also find/acquire these items soon enough anyway.)
Head back out to the Plaza and continue south to the Research District. Here, you'll find another Sub Event just to your west: Spiritual Arte Failure. Afterward, continue following along the path to the southwest for a scene with the guards. Start heading back toward the school for another scene, and you'll be inside the Laforte Research Center - Sewer Tunnel 1.
Even though the next section is titled 'Milla's Beginning', continue reading anyway; if you're playing as Jude, this section will still apply to you, as this is where the two stories merge. From here on out, anything Jude or Milla specific will be pointed out.

- As you explore dungeons and towns throughout the game, you will come across sparkling/twinkling points, as well of bags of loot. These things will give you a random item/material/gald/etc., and will also appear somewhat randomly; sometimes they appear, sometimes they do not. Because of the randomness of these items, they will not be covered in the walkthrough; just be sure to keep an eye out for them as you explore.
- Obsessed with skits? Don't use any Gels till you get to Xian Du. Recommended for NG+ only.
In the northernmost part of the "H" hallway you're in is a chest containing Cape, so be sure to grab it before proceeding to Sewer Tunnel 2. In this area, you will find your first battle; you can skip the tutorial if you like, which is a blessing to any Tales veteran; otherwise, pay close attention to learn the basics. After the battle, carry on to the next Sewer Tunnel (3 for Milla, 4 for Jude.) At the end of the area, you'll have another fight and tutorial. Afterward, climb the nearby ladder to Sector 2.
|Sector 2
Near the door in the easternmost corner is a chest containing Orange Gel x2. From there, climb the stairs to the elevated central corridor and continue northwest; in the octagon-shaped structure up the stairs is a chest full of Apple Gel x3. Use the nearby Memory Ring, then climb the smaller stairs beside the Memory Ring itself. Continue through the northern door for a scene and your first boss battle.
|Girl in Red (LV. 05)
Part 1: This part is for Jude only, leading to it being a two part battle. This first battle you're meant to lose, so go ahead and let her take you out (unless you want a lengthy, meaningless challenge.) The second part of the battle is fought by both regardless of who you're controlling.
Part 2: Milla is super overpowered. Unless you're on a harder difficulty, even if Red staggers you a lot, there shouldn't be a problem mopping the floor with her. If you're not already controlling her, just use L1 and her directional button to take control of her, then spam Sylph or Undine using LEFT STICK + UP (or + RIGHT) to wipe her out. Hopefully you're quick enough and Jude wins some EXP as well.

You will get the Research Center Key, as well as the Title Research Center Intruder after the battle.
For those playing Milla, you will receive the Enemy Book and Item Book as well.
- Laboratory 08: Still Shaking, Next Order of Business
- Sector 2: One and the Same, Proof of Identity

Leave the room for another tutorial about Lilium Orbs. Feel free to develop the grid however you like, as it's pretty flexible! A Backdated Future pretty much leans toward building the STR and HP to begin with, but stays within the beginning levels of the grid to keep them balanced as he goes. Once he get the first two levels done, he goes outward to the third level, then the fourth and so on. You can also Auto-Level by pressing SELECT; if you don't want to put much thought into it and worry about other aspects of the game, then go ahead and do this. Drache took this lazy approach and she's a happier person for it. :D Do you want to be a happy person?
When you regain control, open the chest to the south for a Life Bottle. Enter the room Laboratory 06 to claim a Chamomile up the ladder. Leave, head downstairs and toward the door at the northwest end of the room to reach Sector 3.
|Sector 3
The far western corner near the octagon-shaped platform has a chest containing 400 gald end. Do not enter the nearest door to the east yet; you will miss some items. Instead, go up the stairs to the central corridor, then continue up the smaller set that lead up to the next level to the southeast. Enter Laboratory 12 and climb the ladder inside for a chest containing 500 gald. To the far northeast, open the two chests to the northeast for Apple Gel x2 and Orange Gel. Now, head for the first door you ignored back on the ground floor along the southeastern wall, Laboratory 04 for a scene...
And finally, the game's opening! Progress! Milla has now been nerfed, but we're sure you figured that out. :) Her skills are also vastly different.
If you're playing as Milla, you'll acquire the Kresnik Key automatically.
There's nothing to do here after the battle, so continue to the next screen. The red dots on the map are enemies you can fight, and green ones are people you can talk to, so feel free to fight/chat. When you're ready, you need to go to the Seahaven, so head north to the Talim Medical School. As Jude suggested, head toward the eastern exit to reach Fennmont Seahaven. Watch the series of events, and you'll eventually regain control in the Aladhi Seahaven.

You are introduced to Sub Events as you arrive; anyone with a green (!) icon will have something for you to do (if you're playing as Jude, you've already done a few.) Right in front of you is one such person; talk to her to proceed the story. (Rather than actually unlocking a Sub Event, this continues the main event.) Feel free to check out the shops while you're here as well, if you'd like to upgrade your equipment.
To unlock more items in the shops, you need to increase your shop level. This normally rises along with just shopping, but you can also either contribute gald or donate materials to the shops to earn points towards higher levels in a quicker fashion. Some shops will give you a bonus depending on the type of materials you donate to them. The higher the shop level, the better quality goods you can buy, and the cheaper the items will get.
For donating to increase the level, if you plan to donate materials, then it's probably best to wait until you've completed the Sub Events in the area, just in case you are asked for a material that may not come by very easily. This next area is handled quite easily with your default equipment, so you may want to wait until your return.
Once you're ready, head northeast to the Aladhi Trail.
Aladhi Trail. Larger map: ---> http://f77.us/010f.png
|Aladhi Trail - South Region
You'll be introduced to Linking upon arrival. When you regain control, make your way north and east for a forced skit (There's a Town Around Here). Continue hugging the eastern wall for a chest containing Life Bottle. Since you can't continue in this direction, follow the northern wall back west. By the two trees southwest of there is a chest containing Apple Gel. From there, continue northwest and look for a chest in an alcove to the northeast for 600 gald. Continue northwest to the next area.
|Aladhi Trail - West Branch
Follow along the northern wall, and you'll reach a chest containing Saffron in the shadow of trees at the western end of this section. Make your way back east, then as the path narrows to the south, look for a chest along the eastern wall next to a tree for Weird Fragment x4. Once you have that, continue along the southern path until you reach a dead-end with the monsters we were looking for. Don't worry; it's just another tutorial battle; this one is for Over Limit.
Afterward, check the chest directly ahead of you for some Boots; be sure to equip them on someone. When you're ready, head back to the Seahaven.
|Aladhi Seahaven
- Aladhi Seahaven - Intelligence Work, Creeping Suspicion
- Aladhi Trail - South Region - The Four, Partners in Clime, Alvin's Arsenal
- Etc. Inside and Out, The Fundamentals of Combat, Of Monster Bondage, Mercenary Wisdom
- Now that you can use Auto Items... don't turn them off! It can definitely be annoying to have your Apple Gels get eaten, but there is a trophy attached to 400 auto item uses.
- Make sure that your AI allies activate their skills (Jude's Restore, Milla's Bind, Alvin's Breaker) 150 times for a series of trophies. This one can take a while, so make sure to link with everyone from time to time.
- As the player, use each character's special skills (Snap Pivot, Spirit Shift, Charge) 150 times for even more trophies.
- For pretty much any trophy you can get, there is a title that demands a higher number. There are no trophies attached to getting all titles, so don't feel obligated to, for instance, Snap Pivot 450 times.
- Once you can buy food, never fight without it again. You need 800 encounters and you need to consume food 800 times, both for trophies.
- Shop levels max out at 100. Yep, that's another trophy.
Head back and talk to the client for an Item Sphere and 2000 gald. Head to the inn; after the scene, you'll finally be able to buy from the Food Vendor. Food lasts several battles, at least, so you don't need to totally break the bank to buy a bunch (...though you can only have one of each food item). Do increase the shop levels often so you can get more items and discounts.
Head to the town's exit to get Alvin back. Now it's time for more sub events! Right behind you to the southwest are two clients for the Sub Events The Legendary Flavor and The Monster Lies. A third client, located at the northern tip of the area, is attached to Fruit Seller. Please click the links if you need help with those events. Remember to return to clients after you've killed monsters to reap your rewards. (You have to proceed before getting a Porange, so don't worry about the fruit yet for the last Sub Event.) Just head to the trail.
|Aladhi Trail - South Region
The path to the northeast is clear now, so unless you want to bash in monster skulls, proceed that way to the next area.
|Aladhi Trail - North Region
As you come to the split path just to the north, look just to the left of the large rock formation for a chest with Wood Chunk x10. From there, head all the way east for a chest containing Jet Black Feather x5, then continue north along the eastern wall to find another chest, this one with Apple Gel x2. After exploring the rest of the area for fights and extra random treasures, make your way to the far north to arrive in the next town, Hamil.

The random junk you find in drawers and nightstands? Yeah, that counts as a treasure chest by the in-game counter, and thus they count toward a trophy for opening 300 chests.
Head to the southwest corner of the area for a scene introducing you to Aifread's Treasures, and you get Mysterious Jewel. Henceforth, almost every new area will have two of his treasures for you to find, to a total of 61; 50 of those are needed for a trophy. You can get a Napple and Wild Bird Egg x3 in the nearby residence on the northwestern side of town... Thief. Enter the Mayor's house and check the counter/dresser on the eastern side of the house (near the stairs and under a window) for 300 gald. Head upstairs and check the bed in Room 2 for an Apple Gel, and the nightstand in Room 1 for Life Bottle.
Now go ahead and talk to the Mayor to rest for the night. Afterward, head to the western side of town and toward the Galia Trail to meet Elize, then hit the trail.
|Galia Trail - East Region
Galia Trail. Larger map: ---> http://f77.us/012f.png
To the southwest of where you start at the base of a tree is 900 gald. Follow the path through the bottleneck and look at the circle of trees at the southernmost tip of the area. Check the south side of one of the trees for your first Aifread's Treasure, Bandage. Follow the wall west as it goes north to claim a Life Bottle, then head to the northern wall and follow it for Orange Gel x2. Head to the West Region.
|Galia Trail - West Region
Follow the northern wall to a Pudding Cake (Small), then head to the southeast corner for a Stun Bracelet. From there, head north along the eastern wall and look at the second rock along the way for Aifread's Treasure, 2000 gald. Near the end of the path is an Orange Gel. Continue to the next area.

Check out the south side of the body of water for Meat Sauce Pasta (Small), then scale the first cliff to the southwest and head south for 700 gald. Continue up the next cliff and follow the oval all the way around for Jasmine. Now drop into the western area to proceed.
|Central Area
Head to the southern cave for a Melange Gel, and ignore the cliffs for now. Go through the northwestern mini-tunnel to the other side of the rock wall. Turn around; on the northern end of the rock wall is one of Aifread's Treasures, Pet Dragon. The only other thing in this area is a chest to the west containing a Bronze Helm. Be sure to equip it!
Now go back to the beginning of the area and climb the cliffs near the cave; there is a chest to the west containing Heal Bangle. Jump down the southeastern cliffs to reach ground level again. From the bottom, turn north to find a chest in the wall's cavity -- it has Jet Black Feather x6. Carry on to the next area... for a nice surprise.
|Greater Demon (LV. 08)
This boss comes attached to a tutorial about linked artes. You might as well try chaining on this boss, as he isn't particularly difficult at the beginning. His movements start slow enough that you can tell, most of the time, when to guard. He does have two attacks he'll start spamming that both hit a wide circular range; you'd better run if he starts it. He'll thrust his antennas into the ground when he activates either of them; the difference between them is that one attack follows its target (probably you), and the other is short range.
To deal some decent damage, control Milla and use her Fireball in conjunction with either Alvin's Tiger Blade to land Hell Pyre, or Jude's Soaring Vortex for Aerial Fire. (If you have Jude's Steel and Milla's Flame Ring, then that does even more damage, though it's a bit harder to get Jude to cooperate.) Link with Alvin on occasion when he's needed to break the Demon's guard, and use Jude for normal attacks when Milla's TP runs low and he's not needed for healing. Depending on the difficulty, if you don't like playing healer, it's worth it to take control of Milla, since you'll likely be healing more often than not.
One of the cute things about ailments in this game is that if your linked partner gets one, you get one too. So watch out for weak. Oh, and don't be a dummy like Drache was. Upgrade your equipment. ;)

Carry on up the nearby cliff to the next area.
|West Beach
Go up the cliff, then drop down the southern side for a Life Bottle. Afterward, turn around and claim Aifread's Treasure to the west, a Guardian Emblem, from the wall. Go up the cliff again, then down the cliffs to the west for a scene.
The game takes you to the Memory Ring. Instead of progressing, head backward and take the northern trail to find Apple Gel x3. Now, head to the next town.

Pick up ALL the Mysterious Jewels; they're for a late game sub event. Stuff you find in towns isn't necessarily junk!
Check out the piggies. They're actually rappigs. :) Secondly, don't go to Xagut Floodmeadow unless you want to die. The enemies are high enough level to hand your ass to you in one hit.
Near the exit you wind up by is a guy with a request -- Incoming Monster, then go inside the nearby house (Ivar's House) and pilfer 500 gald. The next building, Residence 3, has an Apple Gel. Head across the northern bridge going east to get Temporal Wind Stone at the altar, then take the request, Offerings for Milla, from the person standing next to it. Further east, Residence 2 has a Mysterious Jewel inside.
The second altar is just south of here, containing Temporal Earth Stone. Next to the item shop is an old guy you can talk to for The Myth of Maxwell sub-event. Near the exit to the east is the request, Something Tasty. You should be able to fulfill this request immediately, assuming you got the Napple in Hamil. Check inside Residence 1 for Sandwich (Small). Check out the squiggly path on the south end of the map; jump down from the bridge to the rocks on the river and check the altar for Temporal Water Stone. Then, west of the bridge, is the final altar and Temporal Fire Stone.
With that in hand, off to the Nia Khera Spiritway to the west.

Poor Kanye West. The guy was already a ball of conflicts and contradictions-- hand-wringing over his consumption one moment, boasting about his wealth the next. He's someone as driven by ego as he is plagued by doubt-- in other words, a wholly human pop star. This year, however, was particularly rough: He and his fiancée broke up, and his mother, Donda West-- who alone raised Kanye from the age of three-- died from complications after cosmetic surgery. Kanye blamed himself for his mother's death, singling out his own vanity, wealth, and pursuit of glamour and celebrity. His response? He's made 808s and Heartbreak, which as the title hints is an introspective, minimal electro-pop record steeped in regret, pain, and even more self-examination than a typical Kanye West album. And as you've no doubt heard, on 808s West sings everything through Auto-Tune rather than rapping, a decision that for some has made this record a non-starter.
The recent embrace of the common studio aid seems akin to pro wrestling saying, "Fuck it, this isn't real" and making it more transparent and scripted (and successful). But vocal manipulation isn't only the practice of radio-ready rap, of course-- it's been a signpost for "futuristic music" ever since Joe Meek heard "a New World" almost 50 years ago. In this decade, records like Radiohead's Kid A/Amnesiac, the Knife's Silent Shout, and Daft Punk's Discovery were heralded in part for screwing with vocals; last year both Battles and Dan Deacon revived the old Alvin and the Chipmunks trick of shifting pitches and speeds; and Bon Iver's forthcoming EP features a song sung through vocoder. And, lest we forget, Kanye West himself made his name as a producer in part thanks to his "chipmunk soul" vocal samples. So why is this approach, from this guy, now such a problem?
In part it's because it's not what people want or expect from Kanye West. Stylized Auto-Tune seems to be on about every third song on top 40 radio these days, making West seem like an opportunist or a bandwagon-jumper. But Kanye has always been more of a master assimilator: He's achieved in part because he's used wealth and fame to explore the wider world-- culturally and artistically-- rather than shut himself off from it. If this guy was jumping on a radio fad here, we'd likely get an LP's worth of "Put On"s, his summer hit and collaboration with Young Jeezy. Instead we get bedroom pop, quiet ruminations in which after staying up night after night pursuing and living the good life, Kanye wakes up to a cold, lonely dawn.
West's singing is shaky, of course, which is in part why he leans on the Auto-Tune. But it functions here as a democratizer as much as a crutch, because like all Kanye West songs, these are primarily about the experience of Being Kanye West. These are expressions of the specific feelings of one guy; there is still, to West at least, more emotional nourishment to be wrung from song than speech, which certainly colored his decision here. But filtering these ideas through John Legend or Chris Martin or whomever would essentially kill the whole effect. This isn't new: Kanye West's music is about being a specific celebrity more than anyone's since the solo works of John Lennon. Sure Eminem weaved biography into his songs but he also wore multiple faces and worked in and out of character when it suited him; West, on the other hand, is one of the few hip-hop artists without any pseudonyms, let alone characters.
Colleagues at Pitchfork have therefore wondered why this wasn't a private record West made for himself, but again nothing he's done is private, and that's in part why he's been so compelling. The album does, however, sound purposefully removed from the start. Opener "Say You Will" boasts one of the record's biggest vocal lines but eventually runs out into a three-minute, table-setting outro-- a patient, defeated-sounding collection of choral vocals and drum machines. (A similar trick is repeated, to much worse effect, later on "Bad News".)
But the album is much larger and brasher than it would first appear-- the closer it hews to a mix of sad-sack indie pop and elegant, monied Patrick Bateman commercial 80s sounds, the better it works. The strings on "RoboCop", the relatively busy sounds of "Street Lights", the clapping drums on "Love Lockdown", and the 909 and descending synth on "Coldest Winter" are among the sonic highlights, though even these are subtle. From West's vocal delivery to the stuttering rhythms, the album reveals folds and layers on repeated listens where at first it seems almost horrifically one-note.
It's no surprise that 808s is a bit of a grower: The record's best songs-- "Paranoid", "Street Lights", "Coldest Winter", and "RoboCop"-- are often its most dismal, with cavernous production giving the Auto-Tune vocals more of an echoing desolation than a pop sheen. By contrast, the more pop aspects of the album are where it relatively stumbles. "Heartless" and "Love Lockdown", both very good songs, work surprisingly well on the car radio, but they're second-tier Kanye West singles. And when the mood is broken up by outsiders or actual rapping, the results aren't pretty: The two songs featuring superstar guests-- "Amazing" with Jeezy and "See You in My Nightmares" with Lil Wayne-- are also the proper LP's low points.
In the end, whether you care to envelope yourself into West's pain and self-torment largely depends on what you already think of the artist. He isn't at his most eloquent here-- raw emotion and rolling expressions of self-doubt don't seem to be ripe for poetic expression (and, woof, the tacked-on "Pinocchio Story" is a wtf curiosity at best)-- but very few songs, perhaps only "Welcome to Heartbreak", ask you to care about specific rather than expressive language. For the most part, West's pain is articulated in ways that, while borne from his experiences, can be easily translated to the listener's. The kind of universality is a staple of great pop, but it's also something that many indie-centric fans don't find appealing.
That West's ego is a roadblock has long been a lament to me, but I think it's ultimately his strength. To twice paraphrase the wisdom of "The Daily Show", the guy is aiming to be the biggest pop star in the world-- he should feel bigger than us; too often, though, we instead ask for artists to be just like us or worse. West is endowed, however, with a sense of purpose and drive that pushes him to make records with Jon Brion, to crib from French house, to put on events rather than shows, to valorize art along with commerce at a time when major labels are circling the wagon and becoming stiflingly conservative, and to break out of his comfort zone when he wants to create a record as uncomfortable as 808s. Nobody else on a large scale is coming close to firing imaginations on this level, and if the guy wants to make a record for himself he's earned the right to do it-- even if the public ultimately prefers his big, brash summer jams more than blubbery Notwist-like bedsit indie. If you're in the former camp, don't worry: Kanye has claimed he'll have another record out by June.

Crazy Horse Cabaret in Paris
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Crazy Horse Cabaret in Paris. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
This tour was amazing!
Excellent trip - first rate guide!
Must do - Chic and cosy - lovely venue and dancers were amazing!
This show was absuletly spectacular - so different to anything we have ever seen - such clever use of lighting, music and dance!
Such an amazing experience! I would recommend this show to any couples going to paris! We bought the tickets on here which were such a good deal, when we arrived we were assigned front row seats... We ended up getting a bottle of champagne which completes the experience:)
This tour was amazing!
A must for any person visiting Paris. This is a modern adaptation of the cabaret and it is done very well.
Wonderful entertainment. Small stage, small audience, more than half women and families, about a dozen dancers. But it was an intense, exhilarating experience. The dancers were all identically built and gorgeous. I went there with my wife the first day we arrived in Paris, and it set the tone for a romantic holiday.
While the show states 8:15, it starts at 8:30; we arrived at 7:30 and 80% of the seats were taken.
Highly recommended.
Excellent !
A real Burlesque show. Very entertaining. Warning.." Don't buy a drink" I ordered one drink , a Rum and Coke. The Rum came in a small drink cup and I got a small bottle of Pepsi. I was shocked when I got the bill it was 20 euros or $27.00. again, "DON'T Buy A Drink!
Sexier and more intimate then Lido or Moulin Rouge, love it.
The show was great. Glad we made the decision to go. Only wish the seats were on more of an incline. I'm short and the couple in front of me sometimes blocked the view.
Nice venue, good service, lovely ladies, rubbish magician
Just OK, my wife and I expected a little more of it. It was just an "elegant" strip teas.

All of the Above
In Wolf in White Van, John Darnielle's first novel, the protagonist, Sean, creates a game called Trace Italian. Here's how it works: A player receives, by mail, a scenario set in a post-apocalyptic America. It ends with the question "What do you do?" The player must choose among such options as "Hide near the overpass," "Head north to Nebraska" or "Start digging," and mail it back. Then, Sean sends the description of what happens next on whatever path the player has chosen. Sean is obsessed with paths, mazes, routes, alternatives, and the book is structured around his central question, "How did I get here?" But if the game's mechanism is multiple choice, Darnielle has answered E., All of the above. For those who haven't encountered John Darnielle, Wolf's flap copy helpfully notes that he's "widely considered one of the best lyricists of his generation." An A. Composer and B. Guitarist, Darnielle is probably most famous for being C. Vocalist for the Mountain Goats. And, while it may seem like being the singer-songwriter of a successful indie rock band with a fanatical following for more than 20 years is a straightforward explanation for how Darnielle came to be D. Novelist, as you read the book you'll begin to question all linear pathways. Wolf in White Van is not a rock star's book; it doesn't read like a story written by someone with license to do whatever he wants, someone whose fans chant his lyrics and fall pin-drop silent during his between-song banter. Two days after the novel was published, it was longlisted for the National Book Award—not exactly trashing the proverbial hotel room. While Wolf in White Van isn't perfect (it reads like a first book in numerous ways), it's remarkably well crafted. I felt I was not in the callused hands of a guitarist but rather the gentle grip of one who has intently studied the novel, and cares deeply for its form. As a prolific songwriter, Darnielle has generated wonderfully strange metaphors (e.g., "Our love is like the border between Greece and Albania"). Wolf is clearly the product of that same fecund imagination. Darnielle skillfully limits Sean's physical world, keeping the setting rich with detail and creating the claustrophobia of a constant search for answers. Wolf in White Van doesn't unfold in a linear fashion, but rather at the pace of rumination, memory and revelation. By the end, as the catalytic event in Sean's life is revealed, the reader discovers not only that A doesn't lead merely to B, but that something much more mysterious has been happening all along.

From Abercrombie Models to Actors
Lots of actors and actresses start out in the modeling industry before making it big in Hollywood. Here's the dish on a couple of hotties who began their careers as Abercrombie & Fitch models, as well as some fresh faces to watch for!
From Model to Actor - Chris CarmackBefore he was Luke, the popular, water polo player and ex-BF of Marissa Cooper on The O.C., Chris Carmack was just an ordinary guy attending NYU. His drop-dead gorgeous looks were soon discovered by an A&F modeling scout, who felt he was perfect for their 2000 Back to School campaign. His Abercrombie gig led to opportunities with Guess, Target and Cosmo Girl, but he wanted to pursue his passion for acting. So he moved to LA and landed the part of Luke, and most recently starred in the Lindsay Lohan flick, Just My Luck!
From Model to Actor - Tom WellingWhen Tom Welling graduated from high school, he had no idea what he wanted to do with his life, but he knew he didn't want to go to college. So he just went with the flow and did whatever he wanted to do. Well, that sure worked out for him cuz while he was partying with pals in Nantucket, an Abercrombie scout liked what he saw in Tom. He moved to the Big Apple and modeled for a couple of years, but never felt at home in the modeling world. In 2000, he went to LA to give acting a try cuz he thought it looked easy! And sure enough, he won the role of the young Clark Kent on WB's Smallville within a few months.
From Model to Actor - Fresh FacesAbercrombie Kids occasionally features profiles of kids and teens who are living an "a" life AKA an abercrombie lifestyle. The latest A&F profile features 16 year-old Ian Andrewes. Like every other teen, he wakes up in the morning, fixes himself some breakfast - and then goes sailing off the coast of Oahu! Ian, who lives in Hawaii, competes in international sailing races and most recently cruised into first place at the 29er Worlds. He says he's destined to be a sailor, but keep an eye out for him cuz he could also be destined to be the next Abercrombie model-turned-actor!
From Model to Actor - The Real DealSo if you party with pals or hang out on a boat, you'll be discovered, right? Although it has happened to some lucky peeps, the better way to go about it is to make a portfolio (a collection of your photos) and audition for modeling gigs by attending a go-see (models go to a photographer's studio or casting office and they are seen). Just putting your face out there, whether it's through print, catalogue or runway modeling, will give you great exposure and get you noticed by other modeling scouts. It'll also help you get your foot in the doors of casting directors who are looking for rising stars!
From Model to Actor - Abercrombie's Model CallHow do you feel about becoming a 'crombie boy or girl? You never know where it could take you, and if you're as lucky as Chris and Tom, you could be hearing, "Lights! Camera! Action!" before you know it! Check out the official Abercrombie & Fitch website for details on how to audition as a model. Even if you don't want to parade around in front of the camera, just check out the site for cool clothes like graphic t-shirts, hoodies and jeans.

Handle with care
Atria Books, 2009 - Fiction - 959 pages
Charlotte O'Keefe's beautiful, much-longed-for, adored daughter Willow is born with osteogenesis imperfecta - a very severe form of brittle bone disease. If she slips on a crisp packet she could break both her legs, and spend six months in a half body cast. After years of caring for Willow, her family faces financial disaster. Then Charlotte is offered a lifeline. She could sue her obsetrician for wrongful birth - for not having diagnosed Willow's condition early enough in the pregnancy to be able to abort the child. The payout could secure Willow's future. But to get it would mean Charlotte suing her best friend. And standing up in court to declare that if she would have preferred that Willow had never been born.

Amy Adams to Receive Santa Barbara International Film Festival's Cinema Vanguard Award
The 38-year-old could score her fourth best supporting actress Oscar nomination in seven years for her performance in Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master."
The Santa Barbara International Film Festival said Monday that Amy Adams, the thrice-Oscar-nominated actress who is widely expected to score fourth nom next month, will be presented with its Cinema Vanguard Award on Jan. 31 at Santa Barbara's historic Arlington Theatre.
She is a contender for a best supporting actress Oscar nom for her performance as the wife of a cult leader in Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master.
"Adams is one of the gutsiest and most gifted actors working today," SBIFF executive director Roger Durling said in a statement. "She embodies what the Cinema Vanguard Award is all about, and after her performance in The Master, the time has come to recognize her talent and versatility."
Adams is best known for her performances in Phil Morrison's Junebug (2005), John Patrick Shanley's Doubt (2008), and David O. Russell's The Fighter (2010), all three of which brought her best supporting actress Oscar nominations, as well as her turns in two big-studio films: Kevin Lima's Enchanted (2007) and the late Nora Ephron's Julie & Julia (2009).
This year, in addition to her performance opposite Philip Seymour Hoffman in The Master -- for which the Los Angeles Film Critics Association recently gave her the year's best supporting actress prize -- she also appeared opposite Clint Eastwood in Robert Lorenz's Trouble With the Curve and Viggo Mortensen in Walter Salles' On the Road.
The SBIFF's Cinema Vanguard Award honors "an actor who has forged his/her own path, taking artistic risks and making a significant and unique contribution to film." Previous recipients include Kristin Scott Thomas, Ryan Gosling, Vera Farmiga, Stanley Tucci, Christoph Waltz, Peter Sarsgaard and Nicole Kidman. The Artist stars Jean Dujardin and Berenice Bejo shared the award last year.
SBIFF announced in November that it will honor Ben Affleck (Argo) with its Modern Master Award on Jan. 26 and Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook and The Hunger Games) with its Outstanding Performer of the Year Award on Feb. 2.
The 28th annual Santa Barbara International Film Festival runs Jan. 24-Feb. 3.

A fart, despite the horrific smell (see doornob), is FUNNY! I don't care what you say, IT IS FUNNY! When god made humans (or what ever higher being you believe in) he could have taken all that gas and passed it through anywhere in the human body and no one would have noticed but he passed it through the hugest flabs of fat in the human body; the ass cheeks and the result is a HALLARIOUS noise and if you don't think that it is funny the you are disrespecting THE LORD! (or Buddha,Sheeva,or Elron Hubbard...actually screw Elron Hubbard.
Farts are fricken funny.

henry armstrong.
the man held titles in 3 divisions at once back when there was only 8 weightclasses and one champion in each. he should have held 4 but got robbed, that means he should have held half the titles all at once.
runner up, 147lb ray robinson. the man was just untouchable. only lost one fight giving up massive weight to lamotta, aveneged the loss in the same month and then fought him another 4 times winning all of them. beat the great kid gavilan too who was a top 5 all time WW in his own right.
also ali during his first reign, he was on a whole other level to everyone else and they were quality HWs. not like today but really good fighters and ali could do whatever he wanted with them.

At his peak RJJ dominates ANYBODY P4P from any era. His speed, power, athletiscim and the way he was so unorthodox.

Of fighters I have seen, Ali and Roy were the two fighters that looked as close to unbeatable as a fighter can be in their primes.

Fighters that I've seen all/most fights at their peak - Roy Jones and Pernell Whitaker....They rarely lost rounds in their prime.
All Time from reading and watching classic film - I would have to go with Sugar Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali.
But I'll admit that there's a lot more I need to watch.

Please, Ali is too small to even sniff a prime Wlad or Lennox. Way too small. Plus he fought in an era when all the REAL men were fighting in the War so he was fighting all the other draft dodgers like himself.....

How can a fighter that avoided challengers be the most dominant?
