Jun 27, 2013The Gifted is a collection of tracks from an unarguably talented emcee, but the point at which a collection of music becomes an album, a singular work with a focus and unity strong enough to truly make an impact, Wale still hasn't reached that point.... In the meantime, we're left with a quality album.
Jun 25, 2013Matching his lyrical abilities with polished production and radio-ready hooks, The Gifted sees Wale inching towards hip-hop's upper echelon, while still exhibiting the hunger of a young MC on the rise.
Jun 25, 2013Names like Just Blaze, Lee Majors, Cardiak, and No Credit supply the beats for this more mature/still flashy release, all of it adding up to Wale's win number three.
Jun 25, 2013While not without its flaws (the "Bad" remix was unnecessary, and probably done simply for the big name feature), those questioning the direction Wale was going post MMG affiliation will more than likely be pleased with The Gifted.
Jun 25, 2013With no big time faux pas to be found,The Gifted is an extraordinary 'gift' to any hip-hop collection.
Jun 26, 2013I'm not saying Wale is Jay-Z yet--and it's not certain he ever will be--because a Shawn Carter only comes along once in a generation. What I do see on The Gifted though is that potential.
Jul 2, 2013The problem is, Wale isn't at the top, he's simply borrowing that swagger from the A-list guests that decorate The Gifted.
Jun 27, 2013The beats are good. The hooks are memorable, if often corny.... [But] Gone is the sense of humor, fearlessness, and willingness to subvert clichés that he flexed on his generally impressive mixtapes.
Jun 26, 2013While Wale remains fairly proficient throughout, that clever, memorable wordplay of old is what's most notably absent from this session, and that's a shame.
Jun 25, 2013With The Gifted, his second album for Maybach Music Group, Wale continues to struggle to define himself, which proves even more difficult on a label dominated by broad caricatures.
Jun 27, 2013The music on The Gifted sounds fantastic, with intricately arranged keys and strings, stacks of soul and gospel-inspired backup vocals, and deep, rubbery bass lines. The problem is that Wale and his team made a really decent soul rap album without a rapper soulful enough to carry it.
Jul 2, 2013Those expecting Wale to finally take his game to the next level will have to wait as his third record is inconsistent and mostly forgettable.
Jul 2, 2013Whatever survived of the brain behind Mixtape About Nothing has been permanently atrophied by luxury and laziness. At least the crisp, live-band production, a carryover from Ambition, remains a treat.
Jun 28, 2013The Gifted is a horribly disjointed album. If Wale would have gone one way or the other (soulful nostalgic beats or straight up pop-rap), the album would probably be at least a little bit better.
Jun 27, 2013He's a competent emcee, especially when speaking about the struggles of young African Americans, but he's in need of a good producer to rein him in.

Jun 25, 2013Wale The Gifted Review
Out of all the a albums that came out as of late this one is surprisingly my favorite. After J.Cole's extremelyWale The Gifted Review
Out of all the a albums that came out as of late this one is surprisingly my favorite. After J.Cole's extremely average sophomore album, which was a huge let down as I am a fan. Kanye's and Mac's albums left him in the dust, as far as a project that made me want to listen more than once. Wale dropped The Gifted a couple days after everyone else, probably not to get his work overshadowed by 3 other releases (which was smart). Besides the boring cover art and the s**t stain of a song Clappers, The Gifted is really great. What Wale classifies as "New Black Soul" is extremely well done on the tracks like "LoveHate Thing" and "Gullible".On "Gullible"he talks about how society has affected people's views on politics and the way people think. The subject matter is relevant and stays fresh throughout. When I first saw the features on the album I began to worry (Meek Mill, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, 2 Chains), Thankfully only Minaj bothered me. It makes me sad to see such a terrible song on such a great album. By all means It does not ruin The Gifted, and I strongly advise to give it a Listen. What astonishes me is the hate that J.Coles fans have towards this album. I think it might have to do with the XXL review of Born Sinner, which may I remind you is an opinion. In some aspects Born Sinner and The Gifted are similar, mostly in the production. But Wale just did it better this time. Also the remix for "Bad" was unnecessary but was better than the original. I highly recommend this to anyone even J.Cole fans, as this is a huge step up in Wale's carrier. I look forward to future projects as he progresses as an artist. If you have no other reason to listen, do it for the Jerry Seinfeld cameo.
Favorite Songs LoveHate Thing, Golden Salvation (Jesus Piece), Gullible.
Least Favorite Clappers

I have been taking Now Acai Powder for several months now and feel a bit more energy throughout the day (especially in the mornings). The powder does not dissolve right away in my smoothies but I put 1 tsp. in my smoothies an hour before and the powder dissolves and thickens within that time. It tastes so delicious and look forward to smoothies with the Acai Powder. I wish the powder came in a larger bottle than the 3 oz. This only lasts me a few weeks. Will be purchasing this item again!!
Seems good!

Contemporary Southeast Asia: A Journal of International and Strategic Affairs
Volume 35, Number 1, April 2013
pp. 83-103
This essay is a critical examination of the ability of Malaysia's new media to promote political liberalization. Drawing on a historical approach to Malaysia's political development since independence, it argues that the political effects of the rise of Malaysia's new media are best understood as being parallel to those of modernization and socio-economic change from previous decades, which augured important changes in the political strategies of incumbent and opposition politicians, but did not upset the fundamental logic through which the Barisan Nasional (BN) regime has ruled since the 1970s. That logic of rule is closely attuned to Malaysia's cleavage structure, which centres on ethnicity and the economy and which has pervaded the country's politics since independence. Malaysia's new media — despite being far more open to critical voices than its establishment print and broadcast media — serve as venue in which more basic political conflicts are waged. Although Malaysia's 13th General Elections may spell further losses for the ruling BN, this essay argues that the rise of Malaysia's new media is unlikely to be responsible for political liberalization. Instead, liberalizing pressures are most likely to be effective when groups targeting democratic processes and procedures, thereby superseding Malaysia's cleavage politics.

- Zaheer: Not at all. C++ is not a pure OO language by any standards. It is extremely complex and confusing to a beginner to understand it properly. If you know C, you may find the syntax easier -- but if you want to learn OOP, and want to learn programming well, choose a cleaner language like Java. Look at the friend functions, confusing inheritance mechanisms (most of which have nothing to do with inheritance really), all the evils of C, and so on....
- Both Java and C++ are "high-ceremony" languages where you have to learn a lot up front (or blindly accept a lot of meaningless gobbledegook) just to write very simple programs. I think they are both poor choices for teaching programming (and only slightly better for working in).
Ruby would be my first choice for a starting languages, Python second. They are simpler to get started with, easier to read, and have many important features that Java and C++ lack, such as blocks and closures. (They would also be my first choice for "real work", wherever possible; they are certainly not toy languages.)
- it may sound weird but i would suggest Smalltalk, it's really totally pure OO.
- Many authors, professors, and other professionals use Java to teach object oriented concepts. Java is based on fully object oriented concepts but C++ is not following all Object Oriented Concepts in clearly. It is easy to learn and teachers can clearly illustrate the Object Oriented Concepts. Therefore I think, better to use Java than C++.
- If the ones you're gonna teach are familiar with C then I think starting with C++ would be a good idea. After you've finished teaching the fundamentals (like concept of Class, Objects etc) of OOP in C++ you can start Java. Then gently you can fully switch to Java from C++. As the peers said Java is definitely better than C++ for OOP. But I think if someone's jumping right into OOP after learning C then staring with C++ would be helpful for the learner.
- I don't agree with Musfiqur. To me it does not make sense to use two languages to teach OOP. And using C++ because people are familiar with C will let them use all the old features of C instead of thinking OO. In this case when students already know C I think it is much better to introduce them to Java. They will have a clear separation between C and Java and thus also between procedural and OO programming. This helps to better separate the two concepts.
- Well, Mr, Schroder, I'm new in this arena of research. To be precise I'm still a student. I don't know a lot. But what I said was from my experience. In my department my teachers actually teach OOP with C++ although it's not mandatory to conduct the course with C++. They have the freedom to choose any OO Programming language. Once, I asked one of my teachers why he doesn't go for Java. He said it takes time to make students familiar with new syntax of the new language. Ours is a four-months semester. That's why my teacher doesn't want to waste time in teaching new syntax, rather he prefers teaching a new paradigm. So he goes for C++. It seemed logical. But it's also true that Java is always better than C++ for OOP. So Java seems very important to me. That's why if the semester is only four months long then I'd suggest to go for the hybrid approach that I mentioned. But if the duration of the semester is 6 months or so, then definitely I agree with you 200%. What I said previously, sir, was from the context of a four-months semester. My apologies if I conveyed any wrong message. I hope I've made myself clear.
- For a beginner use C++. It is the oldest and most widely used language for learning OOPS. I do agree that later developments "HAVE MADE LIFE EASY" OR "IMPROVED REPRESENTATION" etc. The point is, if one learns his beginning steps as most of us have, the purpose, theory and practical implementations / limitations can be understood with clarity. Later the learner has every choice to get exposed to other sophistication ( it they really are significant ) and then comment / use the best one.
- Dear
java and c++ has same funcationality but java is the advanced version language of c++.
- Nitin >> "java is the advanced version language of c++" You really made my day!
I was decided to stay away from this discussion, but then I see that students are focused on the wrong path, against C++ and towards Java, and I decided is time to express my point of view.
Java is one of most primitive OO languages! Only SmallTalk is more primitive. Comparing Java with C++ is as comparing 8086 processor (Java) with I7 (C++). Writing programs in Java gives you only frustrations and disappointments. For many things you write strait forward in C++ (meaning one or two instructions), in Java you have to find a workaround, which might produce tens of instructions. For many things C++ has in the language, in Java you have to call functions.
To understand this you have to be a software developer, not a professor or student. In books Java looks wonderful, people are excited about its simplicity, and the programs students develop are very simple compared with what companies need. When you have to develop real programs as software developer, then you will realize how primitive Java is.
I know all these things from my experience as software developer. My profile here is outdated, but you can find me on LinkedIn.
Why do you think that no serious big application is written in Java?
- I have to support Mircea here (though I don't have very much experience with using Java for really big software). Nitin, first of all Java and C++ do not have the same functionality. Java is pure OO whereas C++ supports different programming styles, e.g. OO, procedural, and generative programming. C++ is a lot more powerful concerning modelling of your problems. And Java is certainly not the advanced version of C++. It only borrowed the syntax from C++ so that it is easier for people to switch. But, all the concepts for language features are borrowed from other languages, not from C++. In fact, I think that Java is a step back from C++. It might be better for OO programming, but in my opinion OO modelling is not always the best solution.
- I think the choice of language should depend on the audience(students to be taught).
If the goal is to teach computer science or software engineering or any other students the concepts of object oriented programming then Java is a good choice and c++ can also fit in very well. In this case java is easier because many already made objects and methods are available to use. But if it is to teach students how to implement scientific computations and other complicated things in addition to object oriented programming, then C++ is just the right way and java should be avoided.
In my opinion, C++ is a very powerful language. Knowing it, means knowing many languages put together.
- In fact, if you already know most of these languages such as fortran, c, java, c++,python, etc, then its easier to choose the right language for a given set of students with a specific course content and objective. So it depends on the students and course objectives.
- Python in any case
- Tilmann >> Let me not believe that there are projects with millions of source code in Java.
If you write a correct make file, you don't have any problems compiling a C++ project, even cross-platform.
" I don't see how anyone could prefer C++ over Java during development." It is easy, professionals always use C++ for serious projects. C++ is not for operating systems (C is dedicated for that), it is for anything else, where you need reliable and fast code.
I have seen many programmers who learned first Java, then C++. Having to maintain C++ programs developed by such Java programmers made me believe that they don't really know programming.
- @Tilmann: "but unless you develop operating systems, drivers or for embedded hardware, Java is much easier, not least because it has LESS features." Actually, depending on the platform Java is a lot easier in these areas than C++. There are platforms out there that support Java directly for embedded systems. But very few people actually try to write an operating system or develop for embedded systems in C++. The reason is that new and delete and constructor/destructor calls, etc. are not supported and have to be implemented by the developer himself. That is why people usually prefer to use plain C because you can get started right away.
"Isn't it easier to have just one way of doing things"
Sometimes it helps to have just one specific way of doing things. But when I am doing e.g. numerical computations I don't see an advantage of using OO. In fact, pressing a structured procedural mathematical algorithm into OO programming is a lot harder than just writing procedural code. OO design is NOT the solution to ALL problems. I like to have access to other programming styles that make it easier to write down my ideas when necessary. The only problem you have with that is that you need (or at least should) think about your programming task before starting to code. But, in order to get clean and maintainable code you should spend some time thinking about your problem anyway.
I personally hate Java software and cannot understand that some people think Java applications are superior to compiled languages. Maybe Java programs are close in performance CPU-wise. But clearly this is not true memory-wise. One would think that having 8GB of RAM installed should be enough to run simple programs. Just take a tool like Eclipse: after a short while--maybe one hour--it manages to noticeably slow down my entire system. Other IDEs I have used run for days or weeks or even months without a problem (sometimes I am forced to log out, so I can't say anything about years). Every Java program I have ever used I close as early as possible so that my system is back to normal concerning overall speed.
"Btw, Java 8 has something that brings it close to functional programming and functions pointers: Closures."
I have used functional programming styles in C++ for many years (at least since 2010). There has always been basic support in STL's 'functional' header. Together with function objects (overloading operator() for these objects) makes it really easy to do basic functional programming. Using things like std::foreach can even sometimes be faster than plain loops! In 2010 I started using the Boost Lambda library. That made it a lot easier because it allowed to write simple lambda functions (though they are really hard to debug). These were the cleanest programs that I have ever written. Suddenly, really large projects become comparatively small in code size. With C++11 there is even better support for lambdas. It is nice to see Java is also catching up ;-)
- Tilmann >> Where did I say about all Java programmers? I said "I have seen many programmers who learned first Java, then C++. Having to maintain C++ programs developed by such Java programmers made me believe that they don't really know programming."
Why are you so sarcastic in your statement? Have you learned C++ after Java?
- Dear all,
I think the question here is the choice of programming language for students and not which one is better or best for professional programmers/developers.
Kindly advise the questioner accordingly and leave the best technology for another thread.
- Our university only teaches Java and no C++. Though sometimes they do stupid stuff like using Java to teach procedural programming as well. The problem with this is that when they switched to OO programming students started writing 'static' in front of methods when things didn't work as expected. I guess the reason why our university chose Java is that it is pure OO and thus easier to learn. Also, many companies in our area are using Java (programming mostly financial software). Though, here the question is who was there first: The chicken or the egg?
The problems that our students have is that when they want to specialize in computer graphics (and sometimes also robotics) they need to use C++, but nobody teaches them. But, I think this comes back to most of the early answers: it depends on what you want to achieve with your course and it depends on previous knowledge of the students if C++ or Java is more suitable for teaching OO programming.
@Tilmann: I'd like to comment on some of your statements concerning Java being easier to use for teaching.
"No need for makefiles" -> For the simple examples used at university one does not have to bother with makefiles. I think it does not matter if you are typing
javac MyClass.java
g++ myclass.cpp -o myclass
" the error messages are easier to understand" -> It depends on the C++ compiler if the error messages are hard to understand. The clang project is doing a good job at providing better error messages. They don't just tell you the line the error has occurred, but also the column. I guess the clang compiler would be a good one for teaching C++ programming.
"freeing memory" -> This is mostly a question of good programming style. I haven't had a memory leak in years. Most of the time you don't need 'new' and 'delete'. Allocation on the stack is a lot more efficient and usually what you actually want. Good C++11-style even uses smart pointers when heap allocation is necessary. If you don't know good style in C++ you shouldn't use it to teach OO programming. Because then you would have a lot of trouble with freeing memory.
"violating array boundaries" -> If this is concern with your students provide them with your own implementation of a vector class that does bound checking. It is as simple as deriving from std::vector and overloading operator[].
The trick with C++ is that many features are not language features, but libraries. This makes it a lot easier to provide new functionality because you don't have to change the language for this. A well thought out course in C++ would provide many helper classes that hide all the functionality of C++ that is not necessary to teach OO programming. The only problem with this is that the students don't learn the language, but only how to use a programming language in general to implement OO designs.
- Tilmann >> Finally we agree :)
Simon >> "The problem with this is that when they switched to OO programming students started writing 'static' in front of methods when things didn't work as expected."
I suspected that a C++ class where ALL methods are static, no matter if they are public or private, without any variable members, must have been written by Java programmers. I have had to refactor such code and make it C++.
Which language, C++ or Java should be taught to students? BOTH. The problem is that if Java is the first, then C++ code will look like what Simon describes. If you know C++, learning Java is a piece of cake. The other way around most of the time doesn't work.
- @Tilmann: Since it seems that Mircea is talking from his experiences I still suspect he is right. Since I have learned C++ before Java I would never write a class with only static methods. But, if you come to C++ from Java most people would just transfer the skills they acquired. It makes sense to them, but not to the C++ programmer. Just to give a small example: A Java programmer might write something like this:
class Math {
static double sqrt(double);
static double min(double);
static double max(double);
where as the C++ programmer would write the same thing as
namespace math
double sqrt(double);
double min(double);
double max(double);
In Java there is no other solution than the first one. But, what we are trying to do is definitely procedural. That is why the C++ programmer thinks of a procedural solution whereas the Java programmer might try to transfer his experience from Java to C++. Actually, in Java the only way to write procedural code is to misuse a class as namespace. This is good style in Java, but really bad style in C++.
PS: Tilmann, if you have an OO solution in Java for functions like sqrt, log, exp that makes sense to me, I'd like to see it. To me, still the only logical solutions to implementations of these functions are either procedural or functional, but never OO.
- Thank you for the answer, Tilmann. But still I am not convinced. These are the kind of solutions I would have come up with as well, but they don't feel natural (compared to mathematical notation). I didn't know about static imports. This is a nice feature to make me more comfortable using the methods, but as I said it is misusing classes for namespaces. That is still something I think is cleaner in C++ and other languages where you are not forced to write everything in OO.
- Tilmann >> Simon is right and I wanted to say what he gave as example.
As long as main() is a static function in Java and if you don't want to create an object in order to create other functions, you have to declare them static in order to call them directly from main(). Simon explained quite very clear what the situation is.
This is why I said a student should learn first C++ and later Java. Learning Java after that is very easy.
Most students in CS want to become software developers. If they know only Java (or even C#), then when they are required at their work place to learn a new language (C, C++ etc) which is not like Java, then:
1. They will write code like Simon describes
2. Their co-workers will make them feeling uncomfortable with the way they write code
3. They will feel as not welcomed to the team any more
4. They will start discussing how bad teachers they had
5. ... bad things will continue for them
- I agree that for some target groups C++ is too much. At our university non computer science students are only taught Java. It turns out that for those not really interested in computer science Java is still too much. Very few of these students understand programming after taking the course (but it is mandatory for them).
I'm also not surprised that more and more companies are making the move to Java. The people that are deciding this probably only know Java. Most computer scientists from my university are only able to write software in Java when they graduate. This alone does not mean that Java is the best choice for teaching. But, it definitely prepares students well for future jobs.
Concerning C as a course at the university I am not sure if this is a good idea. For most students there is no need to learn about low level stuff. If you are teaching C++ you can actually teach it as a high level language. I think I said that earlier that you should pick the language you know best. The students will learn from you and if you yourself don't master the language it is no help to the students.
@Tilmann: Now I feel a little offended ;-). I would never misuse 'final'. And I know that it is not possible to inline methods in Java (if we are talking about the same thing when we say 'inline') because in C++-speak all Java methods are 'virtual'. And virtual methods in C++ cannot be inlined.
- May I suggest C# and "Introduction to Computing and Algorithms" by Russell L. Shackelford, published by Addison-Wesley? Yes, it is very, very basic, but for green undergraduates, that will do the job.
- My personal experience first C---> C++-----> anything else..
- If OO is the core focus and you do not want to work at a systems level then Java would be my preference as it comes with a lower learning overhead and its use in Android devices should be a motivating factor for some students.
An alternative that is not directly answering you question (especially as you did not ask about objective C): If you access to Mac's then a new and interesting possibility has emerged - Swift. As a teaching tool - playground looks very promising. The main downside is that it looks likely that this would leave you locked into one platform.
- First C++ ----> Then Java
- In my opinion, C# is a real successor of C++, more than Java and thus more suitable for beginners. If you insist on the initial dilemma, then the answer is C++, then Java.
- What about Python, Squeak, Scratch, Snap!, Alice or Greenfoot? The real question is OO first? (https://www.researchgate.net/post/OO_first?_tpcectx=profile_questions)
- C++ is much bigger and much more complex but it also makes easier to avoid parts of the language. You really do not have to teach all the C++ language. If you choose C++ please take a good look at the following:
If you choose Java, I recommend one of the following:
If programming is not their profession, it may be C #. If you have ever professional program is necessary and C + + and Java.
I prefer to start teaching OOP with UML language and let a code generator to create the designed programs. When you start with some programming language, students concentrate on the syntax and language specialties and they perceive the taught OOP principles as a not so important background. They then mix programming with coding. We do not teach a programming language until we reach the limits of the code generator in use and we need to teach, how to solve programs, which requirements are behind these limits. However in this time students yet digested most important architectonic OO principles and they are able to design the complex programs much better.
i thank both the first being with C++ then develop skill with Java

Ok so I am the American and DF is the German. We need to get our daughter her SSN and passport. How do I go about doing that? I already have her German birth certificate. Now what else do I do?
For American/German families...
Me + Him = Our schnitzel stuffed taco // Nov. 4 2010
Here is a link to the list of documents and people you will need when you apply for your DD's FS-240 Consular Report of Birth Abroad. You will need to make an appointment (see the right side of the screen in the link). Make sure you have the correct German birth certificate. If you are not married (you say DF instead of DH), make sure you have the applicable documents.
I have always been told that the passport and other documents would arrive "in about two weeks," but it has always been faster.
I reported my children's births at Frankfurt. With my older LO, I was able to apply for the SSN when we reported his birth. With my second, I was told that the SSA stuff was in another part of the building, and I never figured out exactly where. I ended up applying for her SSN at an SSA office in the US.
You can get her German passport (which she needs to re-enter Germany) at the Standesamt. You will need to submit Passfotos, the birth certificate, and possibly something else. It will be printed while you wait.
When you go to the Consulate, make very sure you have no electronic devices on you. About all they will allow through security are battery-operated watches and electronic key fobs. No baby toys that take batteries. No mp3 players. No memory sticks. No cell phones. No e-readers. In addition, my children and I were required to drink out of our water bottles in front of a security guard.
If any electronic devices were found on your person, you were required to go put it in your car or in a locker at the U-Bahn station down the street. You lost your place in the appointment queue and they got to you when they had time.
Me + Him = Our schnitzel stuffed taco // Nov. 4 2010
No problem! That is why I am here.
I did this in Frankfurt too. Def NO electronics (including keys! - I had to stand in line 2x once because of this) Otherwise the consulate in Frankfurt is efficient and friendly and besides that one time going through security has always gone well. I've been there 4x in the past 3 years. We applied for the SS# there too. It takes longer because they send it to the US for processing, but it we got it in about 4-6 weeks.
Tobias Martin 11/2004, Julian Owen 09/2006, and�Liliana 11/08/2010
Jen summed it up great I just did it a few months ago.
Only thing be prepared for a wait an appointment does not mean a set time you still get a number, we waited 3 hours before being seen.

Me + Him = Our schnitzel stuffed taco // Nov. 4 2010
You will need your passport and his ausweiss when you check in before you even go in the embassy you will wait in a line no missing it.
Rena, married to my German prince charming, SAHM to snoopy. Bwing, Bfing, cding, non circing, selective vacing, crunchier by the day, Hausfrau.�
When you make your appointment online, you list everyone that will be coming into the Consulate with you.
Once you arrive, before you get in the security line, you go up to the window and tell them that you have an appointment (under your LO's name). You may have to show them your ID, but I forget exactly. You get your number for your spot in the appointment queue at the window, and then you proceed to the security line.
Your DF will need his passport or Ausweiss as part of reporting the birth, too.
It depends on what state you live in as to which embassy you have to go to. I believe you can only do it at Frankfurt, Berlin and Munich. In Frankfurt, the SSN application was done at the same time and processed just down the hall. You just tell the people at the passport office that you are applying for a SSN at the same time so that they note on your application to send the passport info to the SS office since they need that info to process the application. So in one appointment you can apply for the Consular Report of Birth Abroad, the passport, and SS#.

We're 5 Americans & a cat in Germany!
So in one appointment you can apply for the Consular Report of Birth Abroad, the passport, and SS#.
That worked fine in 2005, but things got a little mixed up in 2007 when I reported my DD's birth. I am glad they have that process streamilined again. But I am kind of glad that DD has an Indiana SSN.

I'm just curious as to how the Tepphar compares to the Thavar? is sizing similar or would I need to bump up a size for the Tepphar? I usually wear Thavar but i'm kind of wanting a slightly slimmer bottom leg and from what I have read the Tepphar fits the bill. Any input is greatly appreciated. I wear a 29x30 in Thavar.

What's on Great Sacred Music, Sunday, November 10, 2013
Event Date: November 9, 2013
Posted: November 9, 2013
Views: 2384
Location: North Carolina, USA
Choir type: Choirs with Religious Affiliation
Great Sacred Music airs every Sunday from 8-11 a.m. eastern time on The Classical Station.
Charles-Marie Widor: Andante ~ Symphonie Gothique, Op. 70
John Longhurst, organ
Aeolian-Skinner organ in the Mormon Tabernacle Organ
Josquin Des Prez: Qui habitat
Huelgas Ensemble, Paul Van Nevel
Darius Milhaud: Psalm 121
Ensemble Amarcord
John Longhurst (1940-) studied with Alexander Schreiner, David Craighead
and Robert Noehren. He was organist at the Mormon Tabernacle from 1977-2007.
Josquin des Prez (1450-1521) wrote his setting of Psalm 91 verses 1-8 as 4 canons
for 6 equal voices (6 × SATB). One of the group of composers known as Les Six, Darius
Milhaud (1892-1974 ) emigrated to the United States in 1940. He taught at Mills College, Oakland, California.
Anonymous: Entrepis
Joseph Payne, organ
John Brombaugh organ at Southern College of Seventh-Day Adventists, Collegedale,Tennessee
Johannes Brahms: How lovely is thy dwelling place ~ A German Requiem
Philharmonia Orchestra and Chorus, Otto Klemperer
Maurice Bevan: There's a wideness in God's mercy
Choir of Wells Cathedral, Malcolm Archer
Rupert Gough, organ
The Anonymous "Entrepis" is taken from a compilation of organ music written in tablature
known as the Buxheimer Orgelbuch. "How lovely is they dwelling place" is a setting of Psalm
84: 1-2,4. Wells Cathedral recorded a five CD set of English hymns which was released in 2004.
Francois Couperin: Plein jeu & Fugue sur la Trompette ~ Messe pour les Couvents
Michel Chapuis, organ
1772 Isnard organ at St. Maximin La Sainte Beaume
Sequence: Virgines egregie
Anonymous 4
Healey Willan: Missa brevis No. 8 in D minor
The Choirs of the Church of St. Mary Madgalene, Toronto
Robert Hunter Bell
Francois Couperin (1668-1733) was born this day in 1668. Anonymous 4
has twenty-two CDs to its credit. Our selection is taken from their most recent
recording "Secret Voices" released in 2011. Healey Willan (1880-1968) was organist
and choirmaster of the Church of St. Mary Magdalene, Toronto.
Thomas Tomkins: Voluntary in C
Simon Preston, organ
1605 Knole organ, Knole House, Kent, England
Felix Mendelssohn: Jesu, meine Freude
Chamber Choir of Europe; Wurttemberg Philharmonic, Nicol Matt
Anton Bruckner: Virga Jesse floruit
Corydon Singers, Matthew Best
Thomas Tomkins (1572-1656) was born in St. David's, Wales.
Felix Mendelssohn is generally better known for his orchestral music than
for his choral music. However, he wrote hundreds of sacred pieces of which
"Jesu meine freude" is typical. We will hear two compositions by Bruckner this
morning. "Virga Jesse Floruit" which dates from 1885 shows the composer's
understanding of the older styles of writing, the stile antico of the renaissance era.
J.S. Bach: Cantata 26, "Ach wie fluchtig, ach wie nichtig"
Bach Collegium Japan, Masaaki Suzuki
Yukari Nonoshita, soprano; Robin Blaze, countertenor;
Makoto Sakurada, tenor; Peter Kooy, bass-baritone
The German translates as "Ah, how fleeting, ah, how empty". The cantata
opens with one of those energetic sinfonias in which the chorale tune is decorated
with marvellous flourishes by the strings, hautbois and chorus.
Alessandro Scarlatti: Salve Regina
Montreal Sinfonietta, Charles Dutoit
June Anderson, soprano; Cecilia Bartoli, mezzo-soprano
Alessandro Scarlatti (1660-1725) is known more for his operas than his sacred music.
In fact one commentator referred to Scarlatti's sacred music as 'comparatively unimportant'.
I believe that his setting of 'Salve Regina' refutes that general statement.
Anton Bruckner: Te Deum
BBC Symphony Chorus and Orchestra, Otto Klemperer
Heather Harper, soprano; Dame Janet Baker, mezzo-soprano; Richard Lewis, tenor; Marian Nowakowski, bass
From a December 1961 BBC radio broadcast this recording of Bruckner's Te Deum captures the artistry
and magic of some great musicians.
Heinrich Schutz: St. Matthew Passion
Amor Artis Chorale, Johannes Somary
Grayson Hirst, tenor, Evangelist;
John Ostendorf, bass-baritone, Jesus
It is interesting to compare Schutz' treatment of the St. Matthew Passion with Johann Sebastian Bach's
monumental work. Approximately one hundred years separate the two German musicians.

Cats loved it!!
posted 7 years ago
Cats get this every once in a while for a treat. They love it and eat up quick.
Good taste, good texture, doesn't stink too bad.
Pros: Good taste, Cats ate it all up
Cons: Expensive

Looks gross but cats like it!
posted 8 years ago
This canned food looks even nastier than normal cat food. I think it has something to do with the fact that it looks like a cheese dip I've had at dinner parties before. Anyway, cats LOVE it! We had some of this donated to our shelter and gave it to a few of the cats and they thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. I like that it is a single serving size with no left over.
Pros: single serving size, cats love the taste
Cons: none

Fancy Feast Elegant Meals
posted 8 years ago
My cat will only eat Fancy Feast. He doesn't even like Science Diet. I have tried all types of cat food, but he will only eat the regular Fancy Feast grilled Tuna, grilled chicken, grilled beef and grilled turkey. Don't even try to give him anything else. And the only dry food he will eat is Purina Cat Chow. So, when I tried him on the Fancy Feast Elegant Meals, he wasn't too thrilled. He ate it, but since it is so high in sodium, which I didn't know at the time I bought it, I'm glad he prefers the regular.
Pros: Looks and smells better than regular cat food
Cons: Too high in sodium

Did you?
I would stick with the basic Fancy Feast.
posted 8 years ago
We have always used Fancy Feast as a daily treat for the cats, so when the free sample came in a bag of dry food, we thought why not try it. Well the cats, who usually plow you down for their food, took one sniff and off they went. I ended up having to toss it and put out their regular Fancy Feast. May have been just a little to high end for my guys.
Pros: none
Cons: seems to have more additives.

Picture: John Cusack World Premiere of '1408' held at The National Theatre - Arrivals Westwood, California - 12.06.07
Hollywood star John Cusack has attacked fellow filmmaker Michael Moore for failing to support the DEMOCRATIC party in the last American presidential elections.
Moore, who won the Best Documentary OSCAR at this year's (03) ACADEMY AWARDS for his anti-gun film Bowling For Columbine, threw his backing behind left-wing candidate RALPH NADER in the 2000 elections - but Cusack believes that he should have joined him in tactical support of Democratic candidate Al Gore instead - to ensure REPUBLICAN GEORGE W BUSH was beaten.
Cusack explains, "He lost a lot of credibility when he went and campaigned for Ralph Nader because he was dead wrong when it counted.
"I'm not a huge fan of the Democratic party, but I knew there was a huge difference between then and the Bush crowd. Don't tell me Al Gore would have handed out the contract to rebuild Iraq before he'd given the order to bomb it."09/06/2003 17:29

(Inc. 20% discount until Mar 20)
|Normally: �33.29 GBP ($48.28 USD)
'Trance Elevation Volume 3' continues this best-selling series with an immense set of TEN club-ready Trance Construction Kits in ACID, Apple Loops, REX & Reason Refill formats. With dry, processed, up/down filter loops & MIDI files, this versatile collection is perfect for even the most demanding producer. TE3 was produced by Jonathan Blakoe of 'Static Blue'.
'Trance Elevation Volume 3' is the ultimate tool-kit for producing professional, top level Trance tracks. Each of the 10 HUGE Construction Kits are compatible with all sequencers and samplers on Mac and PC. For intermediate and advanced users who want to assign their favourite hardware synth or virtual instrument sounds, MIDI data is also provided.
About the Producer:
'Trance Elevation Volume 3' was produced for ProducerLoops.com by Jonathan Blakoe of Static Blue. His remixes for 'Armin Van Buuren', 'Sunny Lax', 'Kamil Polner' and 'Adam Szabo' have earned him much respect from all of the major players in the Trance scene.
MP3 Demos:
All of the parts you hear in the MP3 demo are included in this product. Nothing is missing. Furthermore, all parts are included on their own (isolated) allowing you to incorporate as much or as little of the Construction Kit into your tracks as desired.
About the Construction Kits:
All of the elements of the Construction Kits have been broken-out into separate files. Each part has been isolated so you can choose which parts you want to use in your own track. All parts are "looped" perfectly, so you can simply drag and drop the desired parts into your music sequencer.
Built for all level of Producers:
This product has been constructed from the ground up with 'usability' in mind. It has been designed to appeal to beginners, intermediate and professional users alike. Please read on for examples of what we did to achieve this.
Dry and Processed Loops:
We have included dry and processed (wet) versions of the loops for most parts, to give you ultimate flexibility when mixing these into your tracks. Beginners will want to use the wet versions, whereas the intermediate and advanced users will find the dry versions and MIDI files particularly useful.
MIDI Files:
MIDI files have been provided for the melodic synthesizer riffs (including leads, pads and basslines). Therefore, if you want to put these melodies through your own synthesizers or plugins then no problem, simply import the MIDI file into your sequencer and select your own synth or plugin as the output.
Up-filters, Down-filters & Flat-filters:
For most synthesizer leads (and some pads) we have provided an up-filter, a down-filter and a flat-filter. So, you can build the huge anthem sound up to a climax, let it roll for a while, then filter it back down again. Obviously, we understand that advanced users may want to use the MIDI riffs instead, but producers of all levels can use the audio parts exactly as they are without compromise.
Unlooped Riffs for Pro Producers:
We have included audio riffs that include reverb and delay tails for the professional producers out there. These do not loop because the reverb/delay tail can be up to 2 bars in length. These have been provided because sometimes you want the synthesizer lead part to fade out during a breakdown, for example.

"THERE I was, thinking it would be so hard to top the first two volumes in this series, then along comes this little beauty.
Well, I say 'little' but of course, as with all Producer Loops content, it's a ginormous collection stuffed with no fewer than 10 kits packed to the proverbial rafters with ace sounds.
Thank the lord for producer Jonathan Blakoe who has pulled out all the stops to give you this collection of melodic and euphoric trance.
There was a trend a couple of years back to steer good old trance away from the 'formulaic' by adding glitch bits, chop vox etc and hoping hardstyle would take over BUT you just can't beat trance that has great melodies and hook lines - and Trance Elevation Vol 3 is definitely the bees' knees.
It's so easy to get carried away when you hear a great loop/sample library but once you've heard this lot you'll be under no illusion that Mr Blakoe is at the top of his game,
The official blurb says: 'His remixes for 'Armin Van Buuren', 'Sunny Lax', 'Kamil Polner' and 'Adam Szabo' have earned him much respect from all of the major players on the Trance scene.'
So, that proves you get the best bang for your buck."
|Author: Vera Schumacher, Beat Spezial - October 2011
Part 3 of the successful series comes up with ten Construction Kits including all single tracks. The range of loops contain complete beats, single drums and melodical elements. A lot of effort was attached to the ability for both beginners and professionals to benefit at most from the collection: a lot of loops have a dry and wet variant.
Also for all melodical loops like basslines and synthesizer riffs there are MIDI files present. Lead and Pad sounds with different filter progressions and a small selection of drums and effects are rounding up the positive image of this collection. An essential download for trance-fans!

I must admit I'm a big fan of the Trance Elevations series. Both the production quality and melodic harmonies are superior to any thing else on the market. Overall, It's a great product. Can't wait for the next one!

"Deck of Cards" houses
Cobh's houses have been generally very colourful, but the best known of them are the so-called "Deck of Cards" houses. They are the houses of a street called "West View". The 23 almost equal houses were built on 23 levels and each one differs in colour from its neighbouring building. No wonder that they are one of the most often photographed motives in Cobh. Best view can be enjoyed from the western end of Beechmount (where Park View becomes West view), close to the Cathedral. From there, you can see the front and the back of the houses.Related to:

The Titanic Trail
This was the highlight of my Cobh visit and something I would like to recommend you to do if you are interested in the Titanic and/or early 20th century Cobh. Michael Martin, almost a local celebrity and the creator of this tour, brings the age of oceam steamliners back to life and gives you an insight into the city in the 1910s. The historian is a real Titanic expert and very commiutted to his tour. Indeed, on that day I was the only one who has prebooked the tour online and he ran it nevertheless.
The tour goes along the former piers of the big shipping company and lasts for around 1 to 1 ½ hours. Michael focuses the story on the 123 passengers that embarqued the Titanic in Cobh, but also draw the bigger picture. It includes also the Lusitania, the Irish emigration and the unveiling of the Titanic Memorial by Millvina Dean, the last Titanic survivor.
You can book the tour online for 9,50 EUR. It includes a discount on the "Titanic Experience", an exhibition located in the former White Star Line builing as well as a pint of Beamish Stout. Meeting point is in front of the Commodore Hotel, just a short walk away from the train station. The tour runs daily at 1100 and in the summertime also at 2 pm (all data as of early 2013). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!Related to:

Brendan the Navigator
Medieval texts mention an Irish monk called Brendan who lived in the 6th century. According to this text called "Navigation Sancti Brendani" Brendan explored some Islands to the Northwest of Ireland. The descriptions of the several islands can be interpreted as a discovery of Iceland, Greenland and America – around 450 years before the vikings and more than 900 years before Christopher Columbus. However, there are no proofs of his voyage and some of the stories in the "Navigatio Sancti Brendani" are definitively from the world of phantasies. In 1976, a sailor proved that it was possible to travel to America in a Curragh, the type of ship supposedly used by St. Brendan. Historians speak about the "tradition of St. Brendan" when it comes to this story as it is still disputed if the voyage ever took place – and if yes then in which way.
St. Brendan is considered to be the patron saint of seamen and divers. As a town associated with ocean steamliners, Cobh doesn't lack a statue commemorating St. Brendan. It is located in the small park in front of Commodore Hotel.
Annie Moore Monument
Annie Moore is a personage associated with the Irish emigration to the Americas like few others. On January 1st 1892, she became the 1st person to enter the USA through the new facility at Ellis island which became a synonym for US immigration of that time. Moore and her two younger brothers, who travelled with her as well, are represented on a memorial which is located close to the place from where once the big ships departed. The thoughtful face of Annie and the enthusiastic expressions in the boys' faces symbolize the hope and the sorrows linked to an emigration such as Annie's. The statue was unveiled on February 9th 1993.Related to:

Cunard Line Building
The Cunard Line was probably the best-known competitor of the White Star Line and a key player on the North Atlantic. During the big age of ocean steamliners, Cobh was the main port of Irish emigration and every larger shipping company had an office in the town. When the Cunard Line ship "Lusitania" was sunk in 1915 off Kinsdale, rescue efforts were coordinated from this office while bodies of the victims were brought to the space in front of the office.
Cunard and White Star merged in 1934 and Cobh's Cunard office was moved into the White Star Building. Years later, the building was sold and passed several hands. However, you can still see some details showing the Cunard heritage. Note the beautiful flower patterns. The Cunard Crest, which was located on top of the building for around forty years, is still preserved in the small Cobh City Museum. Until early 2013, it was the local branch of a bank and was put op for sale when the bank closed. Hopefully, the future looks bright for this building which received an architectural award in 1994.
You will get detailled information on the Lusitania, the Cunard line and this building on the Titanic Trail (see separate tip).
Titanic Experience / White Star Line building
In the former building of the White Start Line, a museum called "Titanic Experience" has been established. It takes you through the story of this infamous ship from the its construction at Harland & Wulff in Belfast to its sinking in the night to April 15th 1912. It looks a little too commerzialized for my taste with shiny panels and multimedia screens. With 9,50 EUR entry fee for an adult (2013), the fee is pretty high for a comparable exhibition in most parts of Europe. In Ireland, it is a little above average, especially compared with the "Queenstown Story" exhibition (7,50 EUR; 2013) with a more serious and more scientific approach. Nevertheless, I would recommend it as I enjoyed it and you would get to see a lot of interesting exhibits and infomation.
The museum focuses on the 123 passengers which embarqued in Cobh. As a museum visitor, you will get the identity of one of those passengers. You will follow his or her way through the building, virtually embark the Titanic and try to get a space on one of the lifeboats. In the second last room you will get some information about the fate of the Titanic. The last one is dedicated to the said passengers where you will find their biographies. There, you will also find out if your alter ego survived. I was Edward Ryan by the way, one of the last male 3rd class passengers to reach a lifeboat.Related to:

The Deck of Cards Houses - Cobh Ireland
There is a row of houses in Cobh known as The Deck of Cards. They are built on the hill descending down from the Cathedral to the harbor. They are build on 23 different levels due to the incline. They are all painted different colors and are very beautiful. And yes to me they did resemble a deck of cards.
Meeting locals at the Mauritania Bar in Cobh
There is more to Cobh than just a large church and a Heritage Museum. There are also friendly locals to meet. My partner Mark knew his family immigrated from Cobh on the ship the Mauritania. He has done a lot of research on his Irish ancestry. As we strolled through the town we saw a very small bar on a corner called The Mauritania. We felt we just had to drop in for a photo of Mark at the Mauritania. Little did we know that we would meet some really nice folks to hang out with inside. The owner of the bar was a man in his his late 50's. There were two younger men playing darts in the back of the bar. We told the owner about Marks connection to the Mauritania. They started playing old Irish songs and Mark sang along with them. At one point he and my daughter got up to dance to one of the songs. The owner and the two other men pulled me up from my chair and had me singing along with them while Katie and Mark danced. I have a vido of them dancing posted here on this page.
The Annie Moore Memorial - Cobh Ireland
Annie Moore was the very first person to pass through the immigration station at Ellis Island in the United States. She left from Cobh and arrived in New York City. There is also a memorial to her at Ellis Island. I found the memorial quite moving. It stands on the harbor side in Cobh. You can see that her younger brother is pointing with enthusiam towards the harbor and perhaps New York. But Annie is looking over her shoulder with some saddness back towards Cobh and Ireland. I felt this summed up the story of Annie Moore and most Irish American immigrants very well.
Annie Moore and Her Two Brothers
In front of the Heritage Center is a endearing statue of Annie Moore and her brothers who were the first immigrants to be processed through Ellis Island on January 1st, 1892 as they entered America. Annie and her brothers sailed for 12 days in steerage leaving Queenstown on December 20th.
There is also a statue of Annie and her brothers on Ellis Island.Related to:

Cobh Heritage Center
The Cobh Heritage Centre walks you through its history, not only is it famous for the port of emmigration but the Titanic made a stop here as well as the doomed Lusitania.
There is also a genealogy research service in the Heritage Center
This was a port stop on a Transatlantic cruise from Miami, Florida. We chugged in here during the night and arrived before dawn. An elderly gentlemen had passed away as we made the five day journey across the Atlantic and the cruise line wanted to transport him off the ship without notice, however our tablemates caught them as they loaded him into a waiting ambulance. What a way to go - on the go!!Related to:

The Sirius - A Serious Arts Centre
Cobh has a thriving Arts Centre , right in the middle of town and open to all. The Sirius Arts Centre takes its name from the paddle steamer Sirius, built in 1838, the first ship to cross the Atlantic from Cobh to New York without a sail. The centre occupies an elegant Italianite building designed by Anthony Salvin and built in 1854 by James Smith Barry for the Cork Royal Yacht Club. The RCYC founded in 1720 is probably the oldest yacht club in the world and though the HQ is no longer at Cobh, the building is now put to even better use as an Arts centre. The Sirius operates a monthly schedule of music, visual art, literary events and occasional theatre. All events are open to the public and the concerts in particular draw large crowds. Photography also is well catered for at the Sirius and in the past year there have been several controversial and cutting edge exhibitions. All events are advertised locally and everybody on the mailing list is sent a monthly schedule of events.Related to:

The Titanic Trail
The Titanic trail is a tour which aims to explore (or exploit, depending on your point of view) the connections between the Titanic and Cobh. As everybody knows, Cobh was the last port of call on the Titanic's maiden voyage in 1912. 123 passengers embarked at Cobh, making up the total of 2,206 people on board. Every location which has any connection with the Titanic is visited on this tour and to those with a specific interest in the ship, and indeed to the average visitor, it can be extremely interesting. One of the buildings visited is the Cunard Line offices , now a TSB branch, on East Beach. This building has received an architectural award in 1994 and the photo shows some of the rosette detail, a motif I also noticed in the cathedral.
The Titanic Trail Walking Tours take place everyday all year round and leave from the Commodore Hotel. A complimentary pint of Guinness is served at the end of each tour in one of the local pubs. Tours cost EUR8.50 and last from 60-75 minutes. Children are charged half-price.Related to:

Casement Square - Peoples Favourite
Casement Square is one of two large squares in the centre of town. To the rear, the large yellow building with the arch underneath, used to be the town hall and was used as a temporary morgue for some of the victims of the Lusitania disaster in 1915. Today the building is used as a public library and courthouse. I can think of nowhere nicer to sit and browse through some books. The rest of the square is laid out in shops, bars and restaurants and is usually a livelyspot to have a drink or a coffee in.Related to:

West View - Domino Housing
The nicest way to come back from the centre of town from the cathedral is via West View. West View, also known as 'the deck of cards' is a spectacular street, mildly reminiscent of San Francisco, where houses tumble downward one on top of the other in a remarkable domino effect. Though built in the 1800's the 23 houses are in pristine condition, all painted different colours and mostly with flower-filled window boxes and hanging baskets as well. The effect is magical and walking down West View is great fun, if a little precipitous. What walking back up again is like, we would have to ask a resident but isuspect it's anything but fun. According to local legend, it was running up and down hills just like this one, that honed Cobh-born Somia O'Sullivan's skills as an athlete.Related to:

An Eternally Crucified Picky Eater Explains All
Picky eaters, unite! A lifelong fussy eater, this writer is unapologetic about saying, "No, thank you!"
The guy in the flannel shirt really wanted me to eat his crab. "Have a claw!" he said, waving a steaming pincer in my face with tongs. "No, thanks. I'm good. You go ahead," I said. I've suffered through this gastronomic showdown a million times, from Paris to Paducah, and it always ends the same way. I turn down food I don't want to eat. At best, I offend somebody. At worst, I make a new unfriend.
The crab pusher came at me last summer at a beach party in Gustavus, Alaska, a little town on the fringes of Glacier Bay National Park. Golden sun shining off the water. Friendly locals. Cans of Rainier on ice. Alaskan king crab pulled from the frigid Pacific just hours earlier, now boiling in a giant kettle. A bighearted fisherman pulling out my prize from the pot.
"Have a claw!"
After my third refusal, the cheery offer started to sound more like a prison warden's order to get back in line. The fisherman's expression said, I am the executor of your once-in-a-lifetime experience. So take the claw, and we'll both walk away happy.
Now here it was, the inevitable moment when the personal capital I'd accrued was about to get squandered with a single confession: "I don't eat crab." I don't care how much butter and garlic you soak it in, that crustacean spider's gnarled clamper is not coming anywhere near my mouth.
"Don't eat crab?" His mariner eyes narrowed. "What the hell's wrong with you?"
Thanks! You're on our list.
And about to get a whole lot funnier.
Just found the worst page in the entire dictionary. What I saw was disgraceful, disgusting, dishonest, and disingenuous.

Just threw together one last game before tonight's game night. I think people are going to enjoy what it is.
Things I learned tonight:
As for next week, these are a few of the gametypes I want to work on now that I have more than a day to make something:
Good games everybody! I pretty much recorded everything even us messing around in forge. I'm sad to say that Halo is exactly great for hearing voices so most of the crazy gametypes ended not hearing much of all of you. Don't think you can't hear anything at all though! Most of the horse stuff was fine... I wish there was a way around this but it doesn't seem I can turn down the sound effects and I can only get my voice on a different channel though if anyone has a work around this stuff please let me know. Anyways gonna process the videos and I'll post as each one goes up. I made some small edits here and there but the full experience should be there even if most of you are drowned out by me firing all the time in SAWS. I'm rather saddened really, but at least the matches speak for themselves... /shrug.
Most importantly:
@Morbid_Coffee: Damn! I was going to post this! Jizz. Jizz. Jizz. Jizz.
First part is up!
Fucking amazing duder.
First part is up!Loading Video...
Yo hot with the second part.
It's good to see my 101 deaths in rocket race captured.
Get yo jam on
Thanks to everyone for participating in Game Night #2! HORSE was a highlight of the show and special thanks to @AckbarTheGreat for reading GTA V youtube comments and @Dragon4234 for recording Game Night! There will NOT be a Game Night hosted by me next week as it is Thanksgiving here in America so I won't be hosting it. The EU/UK group can have one next week and someone else can take the role of leader for the NA game night. If you're interested in hosting Game Night #3 this week please PM me.
Oh shi-
Next one is the last.
I'll host some european stuff this week if we have enough people. It's been difficult getting very many people attend after they put their name down on the list. If 9pm is an issue then please speak up fellow european duders.
Basically I would like to reconfirm who wants to play during euro hours so I'm not just sitting in a lobby on my own sending out invites all night.
As a US/ North American guy, I'd be interested in some big dumb fun with a bunch if other people, should a crew want to come together

I tell you it is a shame
How they've achieved the fame
Why they are known so well
I'd like them to rot in hell
Charisma, it's overrated you need
Sex appeal, so artificial and a
Company, to advertise you for the
Compensation, of your lack of Talent
Enhance your
Boobies size, they have to wobble and your
Lips so full, show us your fish mouth get some
Plastic hair, so natural blonde and get your
Body waxed, 'cause hair's not here for pussies
The story of the ugly duckling, turned into a nightmare of
Constant scalpel penetration and the "search for beauty" desperation
Stars created on the paper, sick perversions of themselves
Their self-chosen aberration, exploited beyond mutilation
Sexual arousal is the key ingredient to get the boner-vote to lead you to the fame
So rub that pussy right into the camera and shake that bootie for the teenage boys
But fake to be so prude and faithful to satisfy your Christian fans
Create that insane schizophrenic struggle for public acceptance
Whore … to the fame … a live … suppressing shame … for what … you turned into … an erotic slave … to the hormones of those horny boys
Crawling Age, your enemy, fighting
Time, it's unwinnable, so you
Break, slowly apart, you will
End, in shameful isolation
Cry for suicide
Cry for suicide
Long gone is your pride
You've been dead for a long time
Look back on life and try to recognize who you once were
Look into a mirror and find a glimpse of your reality
Scream in total devastation you earned it good you stupid cunt
There shall be no pity for you, now end that ugly travesty - that's you
Gone, no one noticed, all that's
Left, some nude pictures, for the
Boys, to jerk off to, they don't
Bother, who you were
Your rotting corpse
Will be gone; but not the
Plastic, you put inside you, or the
Fake Hair, it's not degradable, your
Coffin, will be filled with plastic
The cycle is constantly running, the next slut is waiting in line
To be formed to the sexy mutant, no talent but her rack is fine
The horror show called entertainment, the gears of fame that mangle hard
Pride and confidence erased, deserved by them who crave to be a part
