Max Unger's second season with the Seahawks lasted one game.
The team placed its starting right guard on injured reserve Tuesday after Unger damaged the big toe on his left foot in Sunday's season opener against the San Francisco 49ers.
To fill Unger's roster spot, guard Mansfield Wrotto was re-signed. Wrotto had been released Sept. 5, despite starting the final two preseason games at left tackle for injured first-round draft choice Russell Okung.
In other moves, cornerback Kennard Cox was released to clear a roster spot for linebacker Leroy Hill, who returns from his one-game suspension; and cornerback Cord Parks was signed to the practice squad to replace Ross Weaver, who was released.
The loss of Unger, a second-round draft choice last year, is just the latest hit for an offensive line that also was ravaged by injuries the past two seasons.
The coaches have options to replace Unger, a 16-game starter as a rookie. Ben Hamilton could be inserted into the lineup, either at right guard or at left guard with Mike Gibson moving to the right side; Sean Locklear could slide over from right tackle, where he could be replaced by Stacy Andrews; or Wrotto could step in.
Then there's Chester Pitts, who was inactive for the opener and is coming off microfracture knee surgery. Coach Pete Carroll had said that if Pitts could play, it would be at left tackle. But that was before Unger went down.
Tyler Polumbus, who joined the team two weeks ago, is starting at left tackle for Okung.
Last season, injuries forced the Seahawks to use seven different starting combinations on the line – including four players at left tackle and three each at left guard and center. In 2008, it was eight different starting combos – including four players at right guard and three at left tackle.
What direction the team goes to replace Unger won't be known until Wednesday, when coach Pete Carroll meets with the media at noon.
"We have to do some switching and changing to move some stuff around," Carroll said Monday. "We'll have to figure that out in the next day or so." Read

Letter to the Editor 04-30-16
I absolutely had to write to thank The Courier for printing the letter from Austin Lako (April 28) protesting the wind-powered generation of electricity.
What a hilarious piece of farce and humor to protest wind-powered electric generators as "giant cooling fans to combat global warming" and to lament the amount of power they "use."
Very funny and entertaining to spoof such ignorance and make it sound almost real. Great humor and again, thanks for posting a little joke among the Readers' Views.

The Senate moved closer to passage of comprehensive immigration reform legislation on Wednesday by approving a "border security surge" in a 69-29 vote.
Fifteen Republicans voted for the major amendment, putting the Gang of Eight close to their target of winning 70 votes for final passage. The Senate also defeated a GOP budget point of order that sought to stop the immigration measure.
"This is really America at its best. Each one of those eight senators don't know, just as I don't know, whether this work will help them or hurt them in their political careers," Senate Majority Leader Harry ReidHarry ReidDemocrats race to link GOP incumbents to Trump Mellman: Give positive a chance Koch network super-PAC launches ad buys in Wisconsin, Nevada MORE (D-Nev.) said ahead of the vote.

Those border security measures would have to be met within 10 years in order for immigrants to apply for green cards.
"Nobody in this body can say that in this amendment we're voting on today, that we don't do anything related to border security in this bill," Corker said.

"It continues false promises of a secured border," Grassley said Wednesday. "It ought to be enforcement now and legalization later."
To lure more GOP votes, language from other senators was included in the security amendment. One of the changes to the bill restricts certain nonimmigrant visa holders, such as tourists and foreign students, from accessing Medicaid programs and Affordable Care Act benefits.
Democrats won changes as well. Sen.

Critics have dubbed it the "Crabhusker kickback."
The Senate also voted 67-31 Wednesday to end debate on the Senate Judiciary Committee reported substitute amendment to S. 744, setting up a final vote on the measure as early as Thursday.
Managers of the immigration bill are working on a deal to allow a few more amendment votes, setting up a final cloture vote that will happen Thursday on the modified bill. If a deal isn't reached, final passage will happen Friday instead of Thursday.
Later Wednesday evening, Reid tried to set up votes on 32 amendments — 16 of which were from Republicans — but Grassley objected saying the amendment process had not been as "fair and open" as promised.
"The majority party has offered an agreement that in our view is insufficient," Grassley said. "I feel a bit used and abused in this process for 2.5 weeks we've been pushing to get votes on our amendments. We've had a measly 10 votes on amendments.
"I'm still willing to negotiate votes, but it will need to be a lot of votes. … In the end we may very well not be having anymore amendment."
The majority leader also said he hopes the House "will follow the Senate's lead and work to pass bipartisan reform."
But Grassley said the House would have to rectify the Senate's "miserable failure."
"The House of Representatives is going to be the deliberative body on immigration reform and it's going to put the Senate to shame," Grassley said.

China Cuts Rare Earth Minerals Exports; Mine in California Reopens after 8 Years
Thursday, December 30, 2010
The United States can't reopen its last operating rare-earth-minerals mine fast enough, now that China has again cut its exports of the highly valuable minerals. After slashing exports in October by 70% over the previous year, the Asian giant decided to trim quotas by 35% for exports in 2011.
The moves have left companies in Japan, the U.S. and in other countries reeling, because China controls 97% of the rare earth minerals market. The minerals are a necessary part of such things as smart-phones, hybrid cars, hard drives, air bags, anti-lock brakes and guided missiles.
Some relief may be on the horizon if Molycorp Minerals is able to reopen its mine in California's Mojave Desert. The Mountain Pass mine shut down eight years ago, leaving the U.S. without any domestic source for rare earth minerals. The Chinese government tried to buy the mine in 2005, but was blocked by Congress.
Molycorp has raised $500 million since last July to upgrade its 1950s-era facilities at Mountain Pass. It continues to seek more financing.
The company hopes to produce 20,000 tons a year of nine of the 17 rare earths by mid-2012.
The Congressional Research Service estimates that the United States holds 13% of the world's reserves of rare earth elements, but mines nothing. China has 36% of reserves, but is responsible for 97% of the world's production. Another 19% of reserves are located in Russia.

A wise man once said something about how, when in the presence of ice cream, sometimes a young lady wants to get her titties sucked. I was looking for something to munch on when I ran into Lorna leaving a store, on her way to get some ice cream. I knew right there I had found something to munch on. I bought her some scoops and got to talking business. It took a few pitches, but she was game. A promise of $300 and I was sucking on some titties and getting the bone buffed. She is a hot one with a nice little ass that bounced nice while I fucked her.

Hmmm, I think I will wait and see what happens before I get excited.
Posted 13 February 2013 - 06:42 PM
Nope they didn't mention where on the radio, just that they may open 60 in WA. I would assume they will be placed near current Coles/Woolies stores in high traffic areas, to provide the best value opposition. If they are as good as everyone says, then I'm stoked! Bring it on

He's right about the typical shopper though. In the UK, I'd never go for a full shop, but just bits and bobs that I knew were good value there. Then supplement with familiar brands from Sainsburys. And I think it'll be a bit of a shock for customers who don't know the layout of a store - it's not pretty.

The American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) lauded Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and David Vitter (R-La.), chairman and ranking member, respectively, of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, for their leadership in advancing S. 601, the Water Resources Development Act of 2013 (WRDA), through the Senate. The legislation was passed by a vote of 83-14.
"AAPA commends Senators Boxer and Vitter on their leadership in advancing this legislation to spur vitally needed maintenance and improvements in America's seaport related infrastructure and waterways," stated AAPA President and CEO Kurt Nagle.
"Senators Boxer and Vitter recognize the significant benefits more modern, efficient seaport and waterway infrastructure will have on our nation's economic vitality, job growth and international competitiveness, as well as its value in helping address federal fiscal realities through sizable tax revenues provided by the cargo and trade activity moving through these systems," Mr. Nagle said. "Increased investments are needed to better maintain and improve the transportation infrastructure on our three coasts and the Great Lakes, linking America to the global marketplace."
He added, "America's public ports and their private sector partners plan to invest over $46 billion in seaport infrastructure in the next five years. We need the federal government to uphold its end of the partnership, including badly needed improvements to the land- and water-side connections to seaports."
Adolph Ojard, AAPA chairman of the United States delegation and executive director of the Duluth Seaway Port Authority, said WRDA is a timely opportunity to address key federal policy issues of major importance to U.S. seaports and the nation. "As the federal government looks to resolve its budget and deficit challenges, it's imperative to focus scarce federal resources in those areas that can have the greatest impact," said Chairman Ojard. "Investments in seaports are an essential, effective utilization of limited federal resources, paying dividends through both immediate and long-term sustainable job creation, economic growth, tax revenues, and enhanced international competitiveness."
Seaports and the cargo activity they handle are vital components of the national economy. More than 99 percent of overseas trade moves through America's seaports and more than a quarter of U.S. GDP is accounted for by international trade. Furthermore, cargo moving through America's seaports is responsible for more than 13 million U.S. jobs and seaport activity generates in excess of $200 billion annually in federal, state and local tax revenues.
A recent study by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) found that under current budget trends, less than half of the needed investments in seaports and waterways would be made by the year 2020. In just seven years, this "failure to act" would cost the U.S economy almost $700 billion in lost GDP, $270 billion in lost U.S. exports, additional costs to each household of $770 a year, and 738,000 lost jobs.
To address one of the key components of the WRDA – collection and use of the federal Harbor Maintenance Tax (HMT) – AAPA's U.S. Legislative Policy Council has adopted six guiding principles. The principles include guaranteeing full use of HMT annual revenues; ensuring that funding from HMT revenues first should be used for historical intended purposes; providing more equity for HMT donors; assuring that U.S. tax policy not disadvantage U.S. ports and maritime cargo; ensuring a process to efficiently study and construct deep draft navigation projects; and, modernizing the cost-share formula for dredging federal navigation channels.
"With the recent floor action on Senate Bill 601, AAPA and our members are in the process of reviewing the details of the legislation, as amended, and we will be able to more fully address the specifics provisions of the bill in the near future," said Mr. Nagle. "We look forward to working with the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee as it develops its WRDA legislation toward the goal of successful passage and enactment of legislation addressing the infrastructure needs of seaports throughout the United States."

One of the ways in which traditional architectures and deployment models is actually superior (yes, I said superior) to cloud computing is in provisioning. Before you label me a cloud heretic, let me explain. In traditional deployment models capacity is generally allocated based on anticipated peaks in demand. Because the time to acquire, deploy, and integrate hardware into the network and application infrastructure this process is planned for and well-understood, and the resources required are in place before they are needed. In cloud computing, the benefit is that the time required to acquire those resources is contracted to virtually nothing, making capacity planning much more difficult. The goal is just-in-time provisioning – resources are not provisioned until you are sure you're going to need them because part of the value proposition of cloud and highly virtualized infrastructure is that you don't pay for resources until you need them. But it's very hard to provision just-in-time and sometimes the result will end up being almost-but-not-quite-in-time. Here's a cute [whale | squirrel | furry animal] to look at until service is restored.
While fans of Twitter's fail whale are loyal and everyone will likely agree its inception and subsequent use bought Twitter more than a bit of patience with its often times unreliable service, not everyone will be as lucky or have customers as understanding as Twitter. We'd all really rather prefer not to see the Fail Whale, regardless of how endearing he (she? it?) might be.
But we also don't want to overprovision and potentially end up spending more money than we need to. So how can these two needs be balanced?
The first thing we need to do is know, in a given cloud, how long it will take to provision capacity and put it into the rotation. It would be nice if cloud providers offered a service devops could query to get the "current wait time" (a la customer service queues) but until then this timing will certainly need to be obtained by simply keeping track yourself.
The other "constant" (if there is such a thing in a elastic environment) is the capacity of the instances you are using. We'll consider this a constant at this point because honestly, we're not ready to move to the higher levels of enlightenment (and programmability) required to dynamically determine this value – though that will most certainly be the subject of a future, future post. Capacity needs to be in units measurable by the solution aggregating requests (a strategic point of control). This is almost certainly a Load balancer or application delivery controller of some kind, as these components are what enable elastic scalability and basically make cloud work. Typical units might be RPS (requests per second) but because of differences in the way different types of requests consume resources it may be easier and more consistent across applications to use connections, as in "concurrent open connections" as it is one of the limiting factors on capacity of application services.
The other two variables we need are only available at run-time, dynamically. You need to know the existing load – in the same units as capacity – and the current resource consumption rate. The resource consumption rate should be in the same units as capacity and in the same time unit as time to provision. If that's minutes, use minutes. If that's seconds, use seconds, and so on. It should be noted that the resource consumption rate is the harder of the two to obtain, requiring access to the historical performance statistics of the aggregating component (the load balancer).
But let's assume you can and do have all these variables. How is that useful?
The formula is actually a fairly simple one once you've got the variables. You're trying to figure out how much time you have before capacity is depleted (and hoping that the answer is smaller than the time to provision). Just-in-time provisioning, as the term implies, is an attempt to formulaically determine when to start the provisioning process such that capacity always meets demand without over-provisioning. Now, you're always hedging your bets that a high resource consumption rate will continue in the next "time to provision". It may be the case that the "spike" is over before the new instance is provisioned, but in this case you're better safe than sorry, right? Unless your customers like seeing a [whale | squirrel | furry animal] and don't mind the wait.
Consider the following example:
Total capacity right now is 1000 connections. The existing load is 800 connections. Connections are currently being consumed at a rate of 200 per minute. Provisioning more capacity takes 5 minutes. 1000 – 800 = 200 / 200 per minute = 1 minute of capacity left.
Provisioning should have begun at least 4 minutes ago, and optimally 9 minutes ago (too many years developing software for me – fudge factor included) to ensure capacity was available. In this situation, someone is getting a picture of a [whale | squirrel | furry animal].
The trick for devops is to tune the threshold at which the provisioning process begins. Too soon and you might be wasting resources (and money), too late and you end up with timeouts and angry users. Devops needs a way to programmatically evaluate the results and decide, based on the application (it may be more sensitive to failure than others) and the business significance of the transaction (purchase processes may need more warning than search or general browsing), when it is appropriate to start provisioning in such a way as to ensure availability without incurring a lot of cost overhead.
Now I'm sure this sounds like something out of science fiction, but it's not. The variables can be obtained, if not easily, and the formula can easily be codified into scripts or management applications that enable this entire process to be automated. At a minimum, it should be possible for any skilled devop (developer or operations focused) to create a script/application/widget/gadget that gathers the data required and displays an alert when it's time to provision – I suggest a nice HTML interface that encloses the entire page in BLINK tags, because nothing says FIX THIS NOW than BLINKING TEXT, right?
Regardless of how it's actually to put to use, just-in-time provisioning is the goal of agile operations. How that happens is by leveraging cloud computing and highly virtualized data centers and combining that flexibility with the agility of a dynamic infrastructure. Remember, Infrastructure 2.0 isn't just about configuration through automation. That's nice, but it's not the whole enchilada. It's also about dynamism and flexibility at run-time, in providing actionable data and capabilities that allow elastic scalability to be truly elastic.

What is 'Direct Market Access - DMA'
This refers to electronic facilities, often supplied by independent firms, that allow buy side firms to access liquidity for securities they may wish to buy or sell. Buy side firms are customers of sell side firms - brokerages and banks which may act as market makers in a security. Buy side firms will still use the trading infrastructure of sell side firms, but have more control over how the trade is executed.

BREAKING DOWN 'Direct Market Access - DMA'
Direct market access allows buy side firms to often execute trades with lower costs. Since it is all electronic, there is less chance of trading errors. Order execution is extremely fast, so traders are better able to take advantage of very short-lived trading opportunities.

Body of cyanide-poisoned lottery winner reburied as homicide investigation continues with second autopsy
- Urooj Khan, 46, died day after collecting his winning $1m check from cyanide poisoning
- New autopsy will take blood, tissue, bone, hair and nail samples
- Tests on his organs may determine if the poison was swallowed, inhaled or injected
The body of a Chicago man that was exhumed three days ago for a homicide investigation involving his recently-won lottery money has been buried again Monday.
Urooj Khan, 45, had won millions of dollars in a lottery over the summer but died of cyanide poisoning shortly after the windfall.
Two of Khan's relatives stood by his gravesite in Rosehill Cemetery as they watched him being lowered back into the ground. Authorities had called for the exhumation of his body to take samples of flesh, which could provide valuable clues into the man's mysterious death.
The body of Urooj Khan was exhumed last month for a forensic autopsy by the Cook County Medical Examiners office in Chicago
New tests: A backhoe is seen at Rosehill Cemetery today as workers begin the process of exhuming the body of Urooj Khan who was poisoned with cyanide after winning the lottery
Cruel death: Urooj Khan (right) poses with his lottery winnings alongside his wife Shabana Ansari (left) and his teenage daughter from an earlier marriage Jasmeen (second left)
The Chicago Tribune reports that the reburial ceremony was quiet and lasted only 20 minutes or so.
Family members told the paper that they hope the autopsy will shed some light on Khan's murder.
Medical examiners will take blood,
tissue, bone, hair and nail samples. They'll also examine the lungs,
liver, spleen and contents of the stomach and intestines.
Paleologos said tests on Khan's organs also may determine whether the poison was swallowed, inhaled or injected.
The autopsy was expected to be finished by Friday afternoon, though it will take two to three weeks to get test results, she said.
Khan, 46, died in July as he was about to collect $425,000 in lottery winnings. His death initially was ruled a result of natural causes. But a relative asked for further tests, which revealed he was poisoned.
Homicide: Khan, 46, died in July a day after collecting his $425,000 lottery winnings
Process: Cook County Medical Examiner Dr Stephen Cina speaks at a news conference in Chicago on Friday, detailing the process of Mr Khan's exhumation
Khan's wife, Shaana Ansari, and other relatives have denied any role in his death and expressed a desire to learn the truth.
However it was revealed last week that she could not eat the final meal of Kofta curry she prepared for her husband because she is vegetarian and her father - who was also in the home - did not eat it because he said he was on a diet.
Khan's brother ImTiaz told the MailOnline that his brother was the only one in the house to have eaten the traditional indian meat dish, which was made the day after he collected his check.
Urooj's daughter Jasmeen, 17, also did not eat the food, he said at a court hearing where a judge decided the brother of the lottery winner could be exhumed.
Fighting back the tears, ImTiaz demanded justice for his brother and said that the curry he ate shortly before dying was 'highly suspect'.
Urooj's sister Meraj also revealed dramatic new details of the night he died and said that she was woken up by a 4am phone call with a person screaming at the other end.
The voice was so unintelligible she was unable to tell if it was a man or a woman, she said.
Khan had come to the U.S. from his home in Hyderabad, India, in 1989, setting up several dry-cleaning businesses and buying into some real-estate investments.
Questions: Urooj's sister, Meraj Khan and brother, ImTiaz have both spoken publically of their suspicions about what role Shabana Ansari played in her husband's dead
Anger: Urooj's siblings said they had compiled a 47-page dossier on everyone who knew him - including his wife, Shabana Ansari, right, adding it was 'impossible' that his death was natural
Despite having foresworn gambling after a pilgrimage to Mecca in 2010, Khan bought a ticket in June.
He jumped 'two feet in the air' and shouted, 'I hit a million', he recalled at a lottery ceremony later that month.
He said winning the lottery meant everything to him and that he planned to use his winnings to pay off mortgages, expand his business and donate to St Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
He was just days from receiving his winnings when he died before dawn on July 20.
With no outward sign of trauma, authorities initially determined Khan had died of natural causes. But a concerned relative — whose identity remains a mystery — came forward with suspicions and asked authorities to take a closer look.
Further toxicology tests found a lethal amount of cyanide in his blood, leading the medical examiner in November to reclassify the death a homicide.
Khan died without a will, opening the door to a court battle. The businessman's widow and siblings fought for months over his estate, including the lottery check.
Back in the day: The last time that Maria Jones saw her daughter Jasmeen was in 2000 when she and Urooj Khan divorced
Earlier this week, his ex-wife spoke out publicly saying that she only learned that their teenage daughter was living in the U.S. after her former husband was found dead under suspicious circumstances.
Khan's ex-wife Maria Jones said that she thought that Khan had taken their daughter Jasmeen to live in India after their acrimonious split but only found out that Jasmeen lives in Illinois when she saw footage of Khan accepting his giant lottery check.
'I was thinking "Oh my God! My daughter!"' Jones said.
Though Khan's current wife Shabana Ansari is not under formal investigation by police, the dead millionaire's relatives are extremely suspicious that the victim's younger wife may have had a role in the 46-year-old's death.
Now that Khan's first wife has spoken out, another element is being added into an already-complicated family drama that resulted in an untimely death and many unanswered questions.
Jones lives one state away in Indiana, but believed her ex when he said that he was taking their daughter Jasmeen to India and keeping her there during their split.
Mrs Jones was too poor to afford a lawyer at the time so she was unable to contest custody.
Even today her emotional scars are so deep that she has left a dramatic voicemail on her home answerphone: 'If this is Jasmeen, please leave your number and I will call you. I've been waiting to hear from you. I love you.'
One state away: Khan told Jones that he was taking their daughter to India, and she only discovered after his death that the girl had been living in Illinois this whole time
The disclosure is another sign that the death of Mr Khan, 46, last July the day after he collected his winning check has exposed the divisions within his family.
Tests showed he died from cyanide poisoning but no arrests have been made. His second wife Shabana Ansari, 32, has denied she has anything to do with his death.
Speaking to the Chicago Sun-Times, Mrs Jones, 43, said that she was 'shocked' when she saw her daughter's face on TV earlier this week.
She said: 'I don't know if she knows I'm still alive. I thought she was in India all these years'.
Mrs Jones - formerly Maria Rabadan - met Mr Khan in Chicago where they worked together. They got married in 1991 but they divorced in 1997.
She said that she later reached out to Mr Khan's relatives and was told that he had left the US for India with Jasmeen and did not plan to come back.
Mrs Jones did not want to discuss her relationship with her ex-husband. She merely said it was a 'really really long story' but said she was desperate to see her daughter.
Desperate: Jones has a plea to her daughter on her outgoing voicemail message
She said: 'I don't know what she knows. She was so little. I don't want to hurt her.'
When MailOnline visited Mrs Jones at her home in Granger, Indiana, her husband Billy Jones answered the door and said she was in the bath.
When our reporter called later on the phone he said: 'She has decided not to comment at this time. She's a bit emotional, it's all a bit raw'.
'She didn't know how far she was. She said, "Oh, mommy. Come and get me. I don't want to be here,"' Jones told NBC.
'There is no telling what she is going through and I'm just so sorry that I can't be there with her.
'I love her with all my heart, and she was always, every minute, every second, in my thoughts and my prayers.'
Anger: Urooj's siblings said they had compiled a 47-page dossier on everyone who knew him - including his wife, Shabana Ansari, right, adding it was 'impossible' that his death was natural
Urooj died on July 20 last year the day after he collected the over-sized check from Illinois State Lottery officials at the 7-Eleven near his Chicago home where he bought the winning scratchcard.
After taxes, the prize money amounted to $425,000 as he took it in a lump sum.
The initial toxicology report did not show up cyanide so the death was ruled as by natural causes. It was only when ImTiaz intervened that the poison was found by further tests.
Since then the final meal that Urooj, 46, consumed has become central to the case.
According to multiple reports, he was at home at the time with Shabana, Fareedun and Jasmeen.
A Chicago police source told MailOnline on Thursday that Shabana did not eat the food, and nor did Jasmeen.

Here we are coming up on the 3rd month, and still no answers. I have noticed that within at least 72 hours, there is some news, most of the time you know more about them than is really necesary. Here, with Danielle, lets see, we know that she was shot 2 times in the head. We know that she is Dead. We also know that it was undercover police that shot her. That's it, how can a family and friends go on without knowing something.I don't want to be putting blame here but you have to see that since there is NOTHING. There has to be something going on.How hard is it to just say why they drew the weapons, What was the threat. That should not be so hard. Why disregard all of the witnesses that actually saw something. Why not just give a little something so we can try to understand. Staying quiet for a little while is understandable, but now we are talking 3 months. This is cruel and unusual punishment. Somehow, I think that in itself is against the law. I WANT ANSWERS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Game tries to reconcile faith and the thug life on his fifth album, Jesus Piece
Compton rapper the Game attempts to strike a balance between Christianity and gangsta culture on his "religious" album, Jesus Piece.
Share via Email
Jesus Piece (Interscope/Universal)
The Game's "Jesus" album doesn't share much in common with, say, the pages of the average church hymnal, and that's probably for the best.
An entire album of fire-and-brimstone religious hectoring from a reformed Game would be rather tough to swallow, after all. Instead of trying to deny his impulses towards the sorts of things that people of faith tend not to approve of — strippers, drugs, conspicuous consumption and gun violence, for instance — the Compton MC spends much of his fifth studio album examining his warring impulses towards God and the gangsta ideal of the Good Life.
"I smoke weed, pop pills … Have a stripper in my bed tonight / But I ain't tryin' to go to Hell," he declares on "Can't Get Right." "Father forgive me / 'Cause I ain't perfect." Later, with the aid of Jamie Foxx and a gospel choir, he directs praise at his Lord on "Hallelujah" in a manner most churchgoers would find somewhat unorthodox — by taking a look around the pews at "all this ass in here" and leading a devotional chorus of "Halle-muthaf---in'-lujah!"
This uncommon display of (some) depth by a chap best known for rote thug posturing doesn't make Jesus Piece a good album, but it at least results in a more interesting and conflicted piece of work than one would typically expect from the Game.
He still comes off a bit like a characterless hip-hop hanger-on, fading into the background on a collection of tunes that lists more than 20 guest players in its credits. Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, Rick Ross, Meek Mills, Chris Brown, Young Jeezy, Kanye West — they're all here, and their presences only serve to point up the fact that the Game, despite his still-considerable commercial profile, isn't all that exciting when left to his own devices. The reflective tone of the beats, provided by the likes of Drake co-conspirator Boi 1da, Cool & Dre and Jake One, brings some new subtlety and variety to the Game's repertoire, at least; "Pray" employs an inspired sample from Sleep Party People's "I'm Not Human at All" to eerie effect, for example, while Boi 1da's "See No Evil" lets the Game work his flow over some uncharacteristically ambient atmosphere. Still, it's a long slog to the end of this record, and you're kind of relieved at the flare-up of Glock-cockin', coke-peddlin' menace that ushers Jesus Piece to a close on "I Remember." Self-examination can be a snooze.
