[tf] Midnight Pulse
Rated 5 / 5 stars
...First things first. This is R4R, since you reviewed our song 'Empire of the Sun' with a helpful review, so I'll be reviewing you back, and secondly, wow, I was looking through your songs, and may I say that you make a really wide variety of genres, man! Indie, Drum'n'Bass, R&B, Trance, Techno, House, Hip-Hop, Dance, Classical and Video Game... TBH, you being able to make all of those genres, and being able to make them sound GOOD is a really great feat. Keep it up! Anyway, onto the song. This song is very good, and although I'm not much of a fan of Progressive Trance, you actually got me to download this, making it the first Progressive Trance song I ever downloaded xD. Awesome job!
Melodies are OK. I think you could have focused a bit more on melodies and a bit less on nice-sounding gated synths, such as maybe some synth breakdown in the middle, which builds up into a breathtaking climax or something. Just a suggestion though. The traces of melodies that you have now are very nice, and also I don't think it's THAT short for a Trance song :). I liked the filter automation at around 1:12-ish. By the way, I think you might want to turn the bass up a little. It's probably my horrible speakers, but whatever it is, I'm just saying that I can barely hear the bass, so it's either because it's not loud enough or because my speakers are yet again playing tricks on me. Other than that, mastering is flawless, and the production is pristine. Good job!
The synths sound awesome. I liked the pads a lot, and the main synth sounded really cool. I also liked the synth at the beginning. Basically, all the synths sounded good xP. Something that might make the song a little better could be the introduction of a few sweeps, namely at the beginning and at around 2:11. Just a little nitpick though; may or may not improve the submission. Your effects were great, although maybe you could put some more reverb on the snare. Sounds a little dry right now. Again, just a small nitpick :). Overall, great job with the synths and effects, they all sound great!
The transitions are very good too, and I definitely can't find anything wrong with them. I liked how the song transitioned to the quiet part at around 0:46-ish, and then the buildup from then on was a very nice touch. New instruments were introduced very well too, and the song flowed very smoothly. Good job! As for the structure, it's the usual trance structure. Starts with some ambience and a beat, builds up to the climax, and then builds back down to the beat and ends, so I can't give you any points for originality, but oh well. Variety was good, although maybe at 1:15 you could vary the main synth a bit, since after around 1:45-ish, it started to get a bit monotonous.
The intro, as I said above, wasn't too original, but it's a pretty good intro anyway. Same goes to the ending; it's the usual trance ending: a crash cymbal :\. It's sort of why I don't enjoy Progressive Trance. They all sound pretty much the same structure-wise, and even the beats at times get really unoriginal. Oh well, they're still pretty good as an intro/outro, so I won't complain ^^.
The drums sound good. Maybe during the chorus you could vary them a little more, since the drums didn't change much, but that's just a nitpick, and usually drums don't vary that much in progressive trance anyway :\. The samples sound good (except for the fact that I think you could add a slight bit of reverb on that snare) and they were just the right volume too. Not enough to get in the way of the song but enough to be heard loud and clear. Beats were good...
Anyway, overall this is a very good submission. A bit generic at times, and some nitpicks like not enough reverb on the snare and a quiet bass do ruin the song a little for me, but not enough to make me give you a 10/10. Keep up the great work, you're an excellent Trance artist! Sorry for the long review, you'll have to get used to it when being reviewed by me (Supersteph54) :P. Thanks for reviewing our song!

Victor has outlined to Nick his dream result for the Ultimate Big Brother finale, and despaired at the opportunities certain housemates have been given to win support.
The two were sat in the garden towards the end of their 'bromantic' evening when Victor announced that he was rooting for his fellow BB villain and planned to talk him up should he be evicted first.
"You should be in the final two with Brian as far as I'm concerned," he continued. "[Nikki] hasn't been the Nikki that got her here, a lot of people have been subdued. Other than that, who else is there? That's it."
The 'slick man' then commented on his own chances of success in tomorrow's final: "I'm not gonna bad mouth anybody but if I finish behind Chantelle and Ulrika I'll be like, 'Hold on a second.' I feel like I've been more bang for my buck.
"I haven't had the benefit of having a ready-made story. The only person who's got a ready-made story here is Chantelle and I don't think that's fair," he said, referring to her attempts to win back ex-husband Preston during her time in the house.
"As much as I like them, I don't think it's fair, but I'm not the one that decides. And if I'm being perfectly honest, I'd like them to get back together as well, 'cause she really fucking loves the guy."
After prompting Nick for his own thoughts on the finale - to which the BB1 veteran responded that it was "too close to call" - Victor spoke out against the producers' perceived favouritism towards some of their fellow housemates.
He said: "Anyone who [wins] has earned it, especially you, since you had no story, you've had no special tasks, you haven't had the limelight that certain people have had. Certain people have had proper spotlight, just - 'Bam,' them alone.
"Fuck it, I'm not gonna complain. Everyone should have their own time in the limelight."
Resigning himself to the probability that he had once again been edited as the villain, Victor stated: "I bet no-one's more surprised than them (the producers) that the two of us have made it this far. It doesn't sit with the lineup of the magic seven - neither of us two - but we're there. Let's enjoy it."

A man was killed after being pushed into the path of an oncoming subway train Thursday (December 27) night in New York City by an as yet unidentified woman.
According to a statement by NYPD Deputy Commissioner Paul J. Browne the suspect was pacing and talking to herself before pushing the man from behind as the above-ground train came into the station. Browne reports that the man never noticed her.
The NYPD have released a video, seen here, of the woman fleeing the scene shortly after. She is being described as a heavy set Latina woman, about 5'5" with brown or blonde hair. They said she was wearing a blue, white and grey ski jacket and Nike sneakers which are gray on top and red on the bottom.
The extent of the injuries suffered in the collision has prevented authorities from identifying the victim.
This is the second time in a month someone has been killed by being pushed onto the subway tracks in New York City. On December 3rd 58-year-old Ki-Suck Han was pushed into the path of a train in Times Square and killed. A now infamous image of the man moments before the collision ran on the front of the New York Post. Authorities later arrested 30-year-old Naeem Davis, a homeless man. He is being charged with murder in Han's death.

The Pathetic Difficulty of National politics4911
A single huge issue in openly backed research allows in the usa is the fact that most of the public money are selected and guided with the exec division in our authorities. These monies will also be accepted and directed by Congress, but what number of these people in politics know anything at all about science? Hardly any really, even worse, political figures at this particular levels are typical about sustaining energy and therefore means fulfilling those that received them there - or are beholden on the governmental leanings of the events. Permit me to make clear. poll
- Sure, Trump was born in a reasonable group of signifies, but he.
- Privately, I believe that everyone must have their taxes lessened and.
Remember when Leader George Bush published an executive get prohibiting the Federal Government from funding most Originate Mobile phone Study? Which was a slap in the experience to science for religious leanings. I might submit to you personally, as bad as that may be or was, we have now a far more demanding and vexing dilemma nowadays; the backing of weather research around Taxpayer Bucks centering on demonstrating a concept that mankind's Carbon dioxide emissions is bringing about catastrophic heating up of the earth, melting glaciers, increasing sea amounts, intense weather conditions occasions along with the eventual loss of life of the majority of types. This is actually the idea of Climate Change.
Phone Study Which was
Exactly why is our govt directing a great deal power, solutions and cash on the financing of this particular research? It's easy, it's about politics, manage and hijacking of our own energy market. It's exactly about wrecking the fossil energy industry for the sustainable energy agenda. Possibly the worst section of the entire factor is the fact that significant funds have already been diverted away from other research, science that is certainly essential for future years of humankind. Making use of our universities and analysis centers in the United States as propaganda pawns for this plan, even if they are willing individuals for your financial carrot well before them, is prostituting science plus it puts a wedge involving research and trust.
Essentially we are providing legitimacy to a untrue idea for that exclusive purpose of a power governmental goal that challenges all we are and all we've constructed and ushers inside a new chronilogical age of worldwide socialism as our management conspires with other world-wide leaders all in a Kumbaya feeding craze that would make the Club of Rome very pleased. Our leftist management is always assaulting huge companies and also the incestuous relationship they have with this politicians - they tell us to "keep to the money" as his or her confirmation. Okay then, adhere to the money, I've presently shown you exactly where that yellow brick road qualified prospects - but for now just consider that beautiful street one which has been paved with all the purported better of motives. For me personally, I see the complete snapshot - and it actually disgusts me. app
Worldwide socialism as our management conspires with
Initially I'd want to keep in mind that; no, not all national politics come down to competition, type. Some fall to ideals, economics, faith, and private demands, desires and needs. While, all politics is neighborhood, it boils down to self-interests. Donald Trump is just not inciting racism, somewhat the still left states he is, and cell phone calls him a racist, if you opt for into that CNN Clinton News Network information you could feel that, however you happen to be not thinking, you might have surrendered your brain to the multimedia, good, there is the flexibility to do that, nevertheless it doesn't imply what you believe is appropriate or factual - only repeated around-and-more than-again till you now believe it.
Politics come down to
Indeed, Trump was born into a good family of indicates, but he with his fantastic daddy and now his kids do have hard-function-ethic. Normally that skips a generation, not within his circumstance it seems, look just how far you will get in the united states if don't perform sufferer to get a free of charge federal government sponsored ham sandwich. I guess Trump has worked difficult all is his life and more than 99Per cent of our own inhabitants, you have to, to get there or remain there. Ever operate a firm? We have and that i proved helpful 17 several hours a day, just as Trump do during the political election soaring about providing speeches.
Far you will
Privately, I believe that everyone ought to have their income taxes lessened and our bloated govt needs a haircut for certain. Rich ought to not need to spend an increased percent, that's not incentivizing productiveness, it can be penalizing it. Hating the 1% is indeed a kind of minority loathe you already know. You detest Trump, ok I recieve that, so don't vote for him, I'll stop your vote for yourself. We do not require to continue a governmental dynasty using the Clinton's, as they've currently overstayed their delightful and abused the freedom, not that we shouldn't have known; "Total Energy corrupts completely". Consider with this.
And our bloated govt needs a haircut
- Do you remember when Director George Bush authored an executive buy prohibiting the Federal.
- Initially I'd want to remember that; no, its not all nation-wide politics come down.
- In essence our company is providing validity into a untrue theory for your sole reason for an electrical political.
- Individually, I believe that everybody needs to have their taxes reduced and our puffed up.
- Yes, Trump was born right into a.

- Nalanda University, one of the India's oldest institutes, conducted its first convocation in nearly 800 years. President Pranab Mukherjee laid the foundation stone of the permanent campus of the university in Bihar's Rajgir and awarded two gold medals and 12 Post Graduate degrees to the students.
About ancient Nalanda:

Rebuking the Dargah Trust, the court has said it has no right to discriminate entry of women into a public place of worship under the guise of 'managing the affairs of religion'.
- The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully tested its Scramjet (Supersonic Combusting Ramjet) engine from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.
About Scramjet:
It is known as the air-breathing engine, it would be used only during the atmospheric phase of the rocket's flight and will help bring down the launching cost by reducing the amount of oxidiser required along with fuel.
Why are scramjets important? ISRO currently uses rocket launch vehicles like the PSLV to deliver satellites into orbit.
- PSLVs are expendable, can only be used once, and are designed to carry both fuel and oxidizer with for launch. While, Scramjets use ambient air to burn fuel, thus saving the need to carry an oxidizer – thus increasing the payload of a craft.
- ISRO's reusable launch vehicle platform, called Avatar, is a concept that is capable of carrying out satellite launches – takes off vertically and lands back on a runway. The spacecraft is designed to use ramjets and scramjets for thrust.
- Each of these engines will be used in different stages of the flight – with ramjet used at lower speeds, scramjet at hypersonic speeds and cryogenic engines when the craft reaches the edge of the atmosphere.
- Using Avatar for satellite launches will cut down launch costs by half. Since there are no rotating parts in a scramjet, the chances of failure are also measurably reduced.

Venus White Ultra
Quick, convenient, and easy to use, Venus White Ultra whitening trays are pre-filled with mint-flavored gel. 7 day treatment.
Made of a super-thin material, they mold to each tooth for maximum comfort and effectiveness. Best of all, they're disposable—use a new tray each day for up to seven days and enjoy a dazzling, more youthful-looking smile.
Always consult with your dentist to determine if using a teeth whitening product is appropriate for you. Do not use this product as a substitute to dental treatment. Crowns, caps, fillings, dentures, cavities, or bridges will not whiten or change color. Also, do not use teeth whitening products if you are pregnant, nursing, o have braces. If swelling of the gums, pain, or any other questionable symptoms occur during use, stop immediately and consult your dentist. All teeth do not whiten the same.
Do not brush your teeth immediately prior to usage.
Try wearing trays for a shorter period of time; if sensitivity goes away then resume normal usage.
Use in conjunction with a sensitive toothpaste before and during whitening treatment.
If tooth sensitivity or gum irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a dentist.
