The 30 MA students at the Royal College of Art in London put a spotlight on volume and texture for their graduate show of men's and women's fashion on Thursday. The results were varied: Marta Jakubowski's black dress featured a shower-curtain-like attachment around the neck; Janni Vepsäläinen's floaty gowns took their cue from Little Bo Peep, and Emma Hardstaff's sparkling, puffy tops came wrapped in swathes of tulle. There was more streamlined, comparatively austere fare, too, in the form of Lucie Hardouin's long silhouettes done in cobalt blue, and Louise Annis' lean coats in primary colors with exaggerated rounded pockets or shoulders.

First of all, DOWNLOAD the tool. Secondly, Grab a copy of the session key. You can find it just below the download link of the tool.
1. Administrator rights: Check if you have an admin rights to your computer. This would affect all what y'all gonna do. If you don't, it is pretty much the tool isn't going to work.
2. Have you run the tools with admin rights? right click the tool and I think 4th or 5th line (it has a shield icon and a dialogue box appears asking you "run in admin" when you click them) of course, hit yessssssss.
3. Do you have the required softwares/applications needed? Most of the high-end computers nowadays has built-in so you don't have to worry about this that much. (If it is, this just beyond of what I could help. I didn't download or installed python/net framework 4. I think it has already one installed. You can refer to the seniors here or ask Mr. Google about it.)
4. Did you turn off the antivirus atm? I've set mine to "until restarted"
5. Now we're all set and good to go. Link the tool to e-collidex via session key. (Third tab, 2nd line)
6. Patch GC. Wait for it to 100%. What should be written in the library is "waiting for game start"
7. START! The library should disappear. (Note: Once the tool disappeared along with the patcher. Base on what I've experienced. The tool should work)
8. You don't have to go to practice mode. For a set of guidelines, refer to the notes included in the .rar
9. Enjoy.
Good day people.

These Summer RomancesAs the sun burnt my eyes, you waved.These Summer Romances by HeadmistressMercedes
Crystal clear and ocean blue, you sat.
So rugged. So handsome.
And you wanted me to join you.
Your low growl was enough to set my teeth on edge, my heart dancing on hot coals.
So dangerous. So unpredictable.
And you asked me stay with you.
And, on such a hot day, it was hard to say no.
You struck me at first. It almost hurt, that slap.
So cold. So brash.
And it was the kind of abuse that made me feel stronger.
It wasn't long before I felt like I would drown, simply drown in you.
So thick. So luscious.
And in the blaze of a heated summer day, it would have been a delectable death.
I can feel myself smiling, even now.
How you would tug, and tug, and tug,
Until you finally pushed with all your might.
So powerful, so persuasive.
And it was all it took for my world to crumble.
Wave after thunderous wave, you crashed over me,
my heart singing, my head throbbing, my throat screaming as you roared in your triumph.
No one dare approach you.
You are the one t
The Legend of the Faerie TombLong ago, in a since forgotten place, there rested a village at the edge of a wood. Every day some of the children from this town would walk up a gentle slope to the main road and take a wagon to the schoolhouse in the next town over and then they would return in the same fashion. This village was special though. It held pact with the faeries who lived in the wood beyond. The faeries were said to give them fair weather and bountiful crops in exchange for the human food and goods they enjoyed.The Legend of the Faerie Tomb by Chari-Artist
One day, like many before it, a small number of children descended from the main road where they were dropped off. The eldest child was a boy of maybe 11 years, though he looked a bit younger. With lavender tinted skin and brown hair that ended in dark green tips, resembling moss, he stood out from the others. The younger kids, like their parents, were shades of tan and sported blond and brown hair like many of the other villagers. The boy however, was half fae. A very rare occurrence indeed.

So Hot!So hot!So Hot! by PrinceOfFire
Gonna melt!
It's only May!
Where did spring go?
Had a long, long, long, long winter.
Was waiting for spring to come.
But now it feels like mid-July.
Walking around in shorts and sandals.
I think we skipped a season.
It's been either too cold or too warm.
For only a couple days has it actually felt like spring.
I long for those days to return.
The sun is beating down mercilessly.
I want to go hide in the basement.
It's too warm to do anything.
I'm not used to this weather yet.
So hot!
Gonna melt!
It's only May!

Literature: Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom
A novel by Cory Doctorow set in the future of the Bitchun Society, which has abolished conventional money (replaced by Whuffie, a complex reputation-based system), scarcity (cheap renewable energy and nano-assemblers), death (brain uploads and subsequent downloads to fast-grown clones), and government (entirely ad-hoc structures).The story chronicles one of a group of adhocrats running The Haunted Mansion at Disney World, trying to solve his own murder after he is killed prior to the hostile takeover of said attraction by another ad-hoc committee.
- Cloning Blues
- Crapsaccharine World: Yes, everyone's effectively immortal and money has disappeared, but half the characters smoke crack to overcome how boring the world is, while a bunch of others have put their minds in storage until something interesting happens.
- Defictionalization: The Whuffie Bank.
- Disney Theme Parks: Primarily set in them, particularly a future Magic Kingdom.
- Drugs Are Good: Since addiction is easily cured and health consequences don't mean much to immortals, there are casual in-passing references to the main character's girlfriend smoking crack.
- Emotional Maturity Is Physical Maturity: No one so much as bats an eyelash at the Mayfly-December Romance anymore, since physically nearly everyone has a twenty-something body.
- Subverted in that the age difference between the protagonist and his girlfriend does cause some problems. The first chapter opens:My girlfriend was 15 percent of my age, and I was old-fashioned enough that it bugged me.
- Subverted in that the age difference between the protagonist and his girlfriend does cause some problems. The first chapter opens:
- Human Popsicle: "Deadheading" and Keep-A-Movin' Dan's decision to deadhead until the heat-death of the universe. A different technical implementation of the trope, since the bodies aren't actually on ice, the minds are just sitting in backup to be restored at some future date (as opposed to ASAP). The same issues apply, though (in particular, would-be deadheaders wonder whether crowded future generations won't just decide to leave them in storage indefinitely).
- Immortal Life Is Cheap: Taken to extremes, since people in the Bitchun society will evidently deal with a cold by backing up their minds, offing themselves, and resurrecting into a clone. Plus, the main character is murdered by someone who just wants him out of the way temporarily, since they know that killing him will just be an inconvenience.
- Mobstacle Course
- No Fame, No Wealth, No Service: The reputation economy basically behaves like this if your Whuffie is low enough. Since money has apparently disappeared, personal reputation is the only standard to determine who gets served (you can get free stuff from the automated systems, but not being able to deal with humans is still a pain in the ass).
- No-Paper Future: When the main character's implants are offline, he mentions that he temporarily has to live like a caveman: "surrounded by dead trees and ticking clocks."
- Nothing Left to Do but Die: Keep-A-Movin' Dan.
- The Revolution Will Not Be Vilified: Partially averted, there are some downsides to the Bitchun Revolution. Depending on your philosophical views, immortality by backup might be more Nightmare Fuel than not, but everyone in the book's society who felt that way has simply died off, out-competed by the immortals. The reputation-based currency also stifles some sorts of innovation, as going against the crowd is a sure-fire way to end up impoverished.
- The book also mentions a transitional phase in Bitchun when a group of students declared an adhocratic coup against their university professor over the way the class was run, turning the class into a non-functional anarchy.
- Shout-Out: Chapter 6 includes the "Snow Crash Spectacular Parade" along with Sushi-K reenacting the journey of Hiro Protagonist.
- Staying Alive: Immortality by backup.
- Suicide Is Painless: And, in the book's world, often very temporary.
- Whodunnit to Me: The protagonist was restored from backup after being murdered, and he's trying to find out who.

the sauce is awesome!! I was making it today for the pork I'm serving tomorrow and decided to put a little of it on the salmon I just grilled for dinner. Wow -- who'd have guessed? It was terrific on the salmon (use just a little though...)flag if inappropriate
The pork was very tender and the complexity of the sauce was surprising. Authentic Mole sauce takes a lot of time and builds flavor through multiple steps. This was a good substitute. We were very impressed. My only change was that I only used half of the jalapeno seeds. It had a nice heat.flag if inappropriate
The black barbecue sauce was excellent. It was even better the next day slathered over the pork which I pulled apart into smaller pieces. I'm not sure I used the right cut of pork chop, but it worked well.flag if inappropriate
I did not like this recipe at all. The meat was tasteless even though I left the sauce on for longer than recommended. The sauce served on the side was so hot I couldn't eat it. Bad choice for a fairly expensive cut.flag if inappropriate
I did not use bourbon or raisins. Next time I would cut the cooking time dramatically. Watch with thermometer. excellent sauce!!!!!flag if inappropriate

The question was do you want Harbaugh at Michigan or Oakland.
He only had one possible answer. Its not like he could say Oakland. That would be a disaster. He'd be throwing his own coach under the bus.

|I realize I'm in the minority
But I think there should be more bowl games and any schools that can agree on a time or place and get a sponsor, why not? Other than people's eyes, what does it hurt? It's not like anyone is forcing anyone to watch.
Bowl games mean nothing to the grand scheme of the college world. I'm sure the student-athletes would love to play one more game. I'd certainly watch a Michigan game in December, no matter the record.
Teams that are 5-7 shouldn't be denied practice time that other schools get. Clearly the 5-7 teams need that work and have younger guys. This would allow them a few more weeks to see what they have in them. (Brady Hoke jokes aside). The arguement that the other teams earned that practice time and a 5-7 did not, does hold water. BUT... if the 5-7 team plays December 15th... and the 7-5 team plays December 28th... they get extra practice time anyway.
I just don't see what it hurts... kind of like the new CBI tournament in college hoops.

Public transport in Niger
I have used the private transportation bus companies such as RIMBO and SNTV and have found them to be a very safe and reliable way to travel around the country. Ive done Niamey - Agadez a couple of times now which takes about 12 hrs.....There are regular stops on the way which is most welcome. I would however suggest that you book your ticket a few days in advance to ensure a seat. The bus from Niamey to Agadez leaves very early in the morning 4:30ish so I would suggest you pre book a Taxi or moto taxi bike, as there isn't much around at that time in the morning...
SNTV Niamey can be contacted on (country code) 74 26 07Related to:

Ferry crossing
There is only one bridge across the Niger River in the whole country: the Kennedy Bridge in Niamey. To the North about 2 hours outside of Niamey, there is a ferry crossing. This is the way to go into northeastern Burkina Faso. Not an easy road, but the ferry was fun, but probably dangerous. We don't want to think about that!
Express Buses
Absolutely the only convenient means of long distance public overland transport between the main destinations in Niger.
First of all, these buses are most time efficient as they do not stop often, and if they do so, only for a very short time. Moreover, departure times are more or less fixed.
Secondly, the buses are in good shape, so that breakdowns are rare. And finally they are more secure on more risky stretches of the route, since an armed soldier travels on the bus.
The biggest company is SNTV, but there are 1 or 2 others as well. As one can imagine, this is also quite expensive. For example Niamey-Agadez takes 12 hours and cost EUR 25/30 without/with airco. The SNTV express buses reach as far as Arlit (transit to Algeria), Nguigmi (transit to Chad), Cotonou (Benin) and Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso).
You'll need to plan a little as they don't run daily and they could be fully booked.
I used express buses from Agadez to Niamey, and from Niamey to Ouagadougou.Related to:
- Budget Travel

- Road Trip
Bushtaxis / taxi brousse
These are very cheap and ideal for short distance travel and often the only option to reach places not covered by express buses.
They depart from the gare routiere, but you have to wait until they are full, very full. In extreme cases, as I experienced, this can take up to 24 hours and thus involves an overnight at the station.
Often the vehicle is in poor condition – whether it is a sixties Peugeot, a second hand Japanese minibus or an old Toyota Land Cruiser -, and so delays due to breakdowns are almost a rule.
For example, we left Zinder for Agadez (500 km.) in a car with no functioning brakes or lights and only two gear. It took us 28 hours, including a short night at the roadside in the sand.
Since the vehicles leaves in line, you don't have a real choice of vehicle unless the unlikely possibility that you want to wait for the next one to fill up.
For a small present you could get a front seat, a place that locals often do not even want because of the accident risk. If you want to go really remote, it is wise to plan travel on market days.
You can read extensively about my experiences (somehow adventures to me) on this mode of travel under transportation tips on my:

4WD Car chartered or private
Most tourists travelling the Air Mountains and Tenere Desert charter a vehicle, form a group to share a vehicle or bring their own. Even if you have your own, you are obliged to bring a local guide (easily to find in Agadez).
This is by far the most reliable option, but also most expensive. Cost will be about from EUR 50/day if you have 3 others to join. Best arranged in Agadez.
I was lucky enough to get a ride from a German tour group (noch vielen dank Klaus!) from Timia back to Agadez, that brought me just in time to Ingall for the Cure Salee Festival!
Of course the main advantage is that you can draw your own ideal itinerary and stop whenever you like, But be warned, spending 5 or 6 hours daily in a hot and dusty car on a terrible road, is not especially a pleasant ride! And that's exactly what most people do in order to reach a different "highlight" every day.Related to:

Albeit slow at only 4 km./hr., a journey by camel is a superb way to get into local customs and enjoy the grandness of the surroundings in a relaxing way.
In Niger you won't find tourist orientated camel trips in the way you find them in the deserts of Egypt, Morocco or India . Main reason is that the best parts of the Tenere Desert are very remote, so travellers usually charter a vehicle. However I met one guy who travelled to the salt mining oasis of Bilma by camel, which is 12 days/one way from Agadez!
But in my experience an excellent option to organise a camel journey, is in the Air Mountains. Here, the trails are often inaccessible to vehicles and so all traffic consists of camels.
Independent budget travellers can travel around by a combination of truck and camel, as I did. This is not sure option as the trucks are not scheduled but certainly possible. Start your enquiries in Agadez.

Sahara Trucks
I have not yet heard of any tourist using those trucks, but you can cross the Sahara desert on top of these overloaded trucks that run between Agadez and tows in Algeria or Libya, often via smugglers routes.
Journeys to Libya take up to 3 weeks and people die on these trips every year, so be prepared! Most passengers are from Coastal African countries who plan to work in Libya and sneak in Europe this way.
If you don't travel on them, try to spot one, as they are really a must see! If you consider to join the club, as a tourist it would be very wise to have a valid visa, despite no African traveller has one (as there is no border post). Bring loads of water (some 25 litre cans) and food such as dried meat and cheese.
In Agadez bus terminal you will find several agencies dealing with this. Cost to Tripoli will be around EUR 80,--. For a bit more, some agencies also organise similar journeys by pick up truck.Related to:
- Budget Travel
- Backpacking
- Road Trip
Private / Cooperation Trucks
If even no bushtaxi's run between places, you might have a good chance to get a ride on a truck!
These trucks typically pick up and drop goods at the markets, but also may take passengers. This cheap option is especially useful to reach certain oases, for example in the Air Mountains or Tenere Desert, where alternatively a 4WD car in good condition is required (which are usually only used by tourists, NGO's and government).
But you will need a lot of time for these exhausting trips (you often sit on top of the load), and you will never be sure when you can return. On the way the driver might drive hours off-road to reach distant farms and stops wherever he wants to make tea, visit relatives or whatever else.
You will need to bring your own water and food, although we bought, slaughtered and ate a goat from a passing shepherd on the way. Sunprotection is most important too!!
I took a truck from Agadez to the oasis of Taberlot (150km./24 hrs.). You can read about this journey under transportation tips on my Timia Page.Related to:

From Europe its probably best to travel with AirFrance from Paris to Niamey.

Air Afrique is the cheapest, but is sometimes unreliable

Cannot rent a car for self drive in Niger and would not recommend in the desert. There is some danger from Tuareg rebels, though they have reached a truce with the government. Would highly recommend a Tuareg guide. Our guide can be reached at email@example.com.

To all SMTC Fans:For the past 3 qrts of this year SMTC has beat estimates.With year end results due in Feb.,and if SMTC beats estimates (again!) does the price go back to the mid 60's as it did a couple of months ago? What your opinion?
Short term action for SMTC may keep in the high 40's or low 50's due to the unknown stock vote assuming that SMTC will mirror INTC's rise/fall in the semi's markets. SMTC has a different product, and as Atmil, Motorolla, and intel all have earnings problems,so too will people believe that SMTC will have problems too. Believers in SMTC have, and will prosper. Semtech to the optimistic, is definitely posting fantastic numbers and should make a comeback before they get an opportunity to report year end.--In my official OPINION - people are going to get out of many of their profitable stocks by year end to claim their gains, small cap's do well in Dec & Jan due to that action. Semtech has been getting more positive publicity than many other small caps.Look for a run-up in Dec to around 62 1/2, a resistance pull back, then another rush before earnings, maybe even to this years highs. ( I like a 3 - 1 split mid year - it would be great!) - I put my money where my mouth is -Jason

Topic: Drought Tolerant
Title: Drought tolerant plants native to Plano, TX
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:I live in Plano Texas. We have drought conditions and I would like to redo our landscape with flowers that can handle Texas weather annually. My desire is: 1. Year round blooms 2. The ability to handle drought and below zero weather conditions 3. Preferably, low-maintenance, long-lived plants That is my desire, if it is unrealistic I can live with low-maintenance, long-life, colorful plants that do well in Texas. Looking forward to your expertise. Thanks in advance.
ANSWER:That's a pretty big order, but I'll see what we can find to fill it. I am assuming you mean below freezing (below 0° C, not below 0° F). Plano is in USDA Hardiness Zone 8a, which has an average annual minimum temperature of 10-15° F (-9.5--12.2° C). There isn't one single plant that is going to bloom for 12 months, but we can find flowers that bloom early in the spring and ones that bloom late in the fall of the year to give you something in flower for most of the year. All of the plants below are reported to have high drought tolerance and all are native to Collin County.
For the annuals you will need to let the seeds mature and fall to have the plants grow again the following season or else replant each year.
Clasping-coneflower (Dracopis amplexicaulis) bloom period—April through July
Indian Blanket (Gaillardia pulchella) bloom period—April through June
Horsemint (Monarda citriodora) bloom period—May through June
Drummond's phlox (Phlox drummondii) bloom period—March through June
Greenthread (Thelesperma filifolium) bloom period—February through December, mostly spring
Butterfly-weed (Asclepias tuberosa) bloom period—May through September
Berlandier's sundrops (Calylophus berlandieri) bloom period—March through September
Blue larkspur (Delphinium carolinianum) bloom period—April through July
Engelmann Daisy (Engelmannia peristenia) bloom period—March through July
Maximilian sunflower (Helianthus maximiliani) bloom period—August through October
Dotted gayfeather (Liatris punctata) bloom period—August through October
Mexican hat (Ratibida columnifera) bloom period—May through December
Mealy sage (Salvia farinacea) bloom period—April through October
Giant goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) bloom period—September through November
SHRUBS and SMALL TREES
American beauty berry (Callicarpa americana) bloom period—May through June, purple berries in fall and winter
Fragrant sumac (Rhus aromatica) bloom period—March, colorful leaves in fall
Rhus lanceolata (Rhus lanceolata) bloom period—June through August, red berries and colorful leaves in fall
Mexican Buckeye (Ungnadia speciosa) bloom period—March through June
Rusty black-haw (Viburnum rufidulum) bloom period—April through May
The first two grasses are bunch grasses with interesting ornamental foliage.
Split-beard bluestem (Andropogon ternarius) bloom period—August through November
Purple threeawn ( Aristida purpurea ) bloom period—April through October
Buffalo Grass (Buchloe dactyloides). This is a turf grass that does well with little water. Here is a quote from Sally and Andy Wasowski's Native Texas Plants: Landscaping Region by Region:
"One August Andy saw a 'Prairie' buffalograss lawn in Plano that had been watered just twice all year. It was green. The neighbor's bermudagrass lawn next door had been watered 33 times and looked stressed."

"i have written this review more than a few times in my head. Even with my journalist background, finding the right words to describe Bali Buddha Villa have been elusive. We arrived in the pitch black and really could not be prepared for what would greet us in the light of day. Despite being only a five minute taxi ride to busy and bustling Ubud, the villa is the epitome of tranquility where you can dive into a good book, splash in the amazing pool, relax with your family (or just yourself) or simply marvel at the lush scenery. Our entourage included our 12 year old daughter, 19 year old son and my 72 year old mother. We all fell in love not just with this stunning villa but also with Made who was far beyond our cook or cleaner. She became a friend who we relied heavily on to ensure every detail of our bucket list trip was take care of. Our driver (also Made) was brilliant. He was there to greet us at the airport and fast became another friend we won't soon forget. He politely picked us up daily to show us the various sites of Ubud and beyond. His pride for Bali and the traditions and customs of the Balinese people was infectious. Made took us on the most amazing walk through the rice fields that are easily accessed from town. Every outing and drive was insightful and informative. We never felt rushed or pressured in anyway. His quiet demeanour was the perfect compliment to the laid back but often chaotic pace of Bali life. After a day of touring or shopping, it was incredibly special to return to Robin's beautiful oasis in the rice fields and jungle. Made made us delicious breakfasts every morning and very often we asked her to make us dinners too. She took care of us on every level from doing our laundry to arranging for massages. Robin very patiently answered all of my questions before our arrival...and there were a LOT. If I can offer any advice, don't be like me and try to hyper plan things before you get to Bali. Relax and allow yourself to slide into the pace of this beautiful island. You will be in excellent hands and will absolutely not be disappointed. Oh...and learn a little Bahasa or Indonesian. The true gift of Bali is her people. I wish we could have communicated better. We are already looking forward to returning to this incredible villa. It was so much more than a place to stay. It was an important part of our dream holiday. Suksma Robin, Made and Made...Wayan too. Hugs to Cleo too!"Guest: Dawn E. Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: August 6, 2015View listing
"This place is amazing. I stayed for four nights with my husband and our two children (aged 3years and 12 years), and my sister-in-law and her teenage daughter. We are all widely traveled, and have stayed in countless places, but we will all remember Villa Satori for a very long time. It is so unusual to find accommodation where it all just works so well- the building was gorgeous, the pool was sparkling, the location could not have been better and by the time we left the staff were like family. Ubud is such a lovely town, but we arrived at a busy time and found the traffic and crowds of tourists a bit hectic... luckily we were staying at Villa Satori! At the end of the day we could come home and really relax in the peace and quiet of the rice paddies and prepare for another day. Kasey was brilliant in her communication and provided us with an outstanding amount of information before we even arrived, and the staff could not have been more helpful, charming or kind. I became very sick while we were there but Wayan was on board to help arrange a doctor, and when my daughter injured her knee Ketut was there to help her get up and down the hill on the back of his moped, always with a smile. Wayan cooked us the most incredible meal while we were there- we will all be dreaming of her food for a long time to come. Photos can not do justice to this place. It is too beautiful. If you are lucky enough to ever stay here be sure to look at Kasey's recommendations for places to eat and things to do."Guest: Penny D.

"I just got back from my stay at Amanda Villa, and can't say enough great things. The place is beautiful. I lovingly called it my personal palace on the hill. It's situated at the top of the steps, just as you cross into Penestanan, the artsy side of town on the West side of Ubud (opposite town across from the Monkey Forest and Yoga Barn), and around a less than 10 minute walk to the center of town. Since this was my first trip to Bali, and first trip traveling alone I was a bit nervous about making the right choice on location. I had done a fair bit of research, but still was unfamiliar with Ubud. Turned out the location was perfect and Patrick, the Villa owner was amazing with recommendations. It really was close to everything I wanted (great Yoga studios - I recommend the Yoga House (amazing place!!), Vegan/Vegetarian restaurants - Clear Cafe and Alchemy, Spas - Sedona Spa is up the road about 10 minutes, and perhaps was my best massage while in Ubud, the Center of Town - Ubud Markets and Ubud Palace etc.), and above Ketut's home, where his family lives, who I was ever grateful for! They all made me feel right at home, which is a great feeling when you are brand new to a place. Wayan, Ketut's mother, is a phenomenal cook, and perhaps the sweetest woman on the planet, as was his sister who was visiting from out of town. As for the villa itself, since it's on top of the hill, the views are ridiculous. I don't think the pictures on the listing do it justice. The meditation room, upstairs from the bedroom, might be one of the highest points in Ubud, making for amazing morning and evenings overlooking Ubud. There is also two bathrooms, which was nice. One traditional with an outdoor shower, and the other upstairs attached to the bedroom that was indoors. The only thing I'd probably give feedback on, is adding additional draw down blinds to the North side of the room. I felt a little exposed without them, but I also felt that way pretty much everywhere in Bali since the Balinese aren't as big into privacy as the US is. Other than that, I wish I didn't have to leave (actually ended up extending my stay for two days before heading home to the states). It's an amazing place and if you stay there, know you won't be disappointing!"Guest: Danica L. Date of Stay: August 2015 Review Submitted: August 13, 2015View listing

The Mighty O!!!!my boy chanz did the keys df shit!!!!
Yep... this is the Christmas song. In fact.. HipHopDX needs to dig a little deeper. This version has slightly modified lyrics from the original that was on the 12" and originally featured on LaFace Records Christmas Complilation. This version you hear Andre studder "silent' twice... what he says is "silent knight... I got the crunk, if it ain't real.. ain't right"... And the hook is originally... "Player's Ball is coming... on Christmas Day". Hopefully they'll put the right version up so people can hear it... a lost gem.
Right on.
wait... this is a christmas song?
ya....an undeniably classic track but not sure why its a holiday song haha
True greatness I have been hooked since this song kissed my ear drums

Episode Reviews (12)
Move over Valium...there's a new sleep inducer in town!
Oh...My...God...what a boring episode. I wanted to enjoy it. I really did. But watching Carmella walk around snapping pictures in Paris and waxing philisophical and reflecting on the finer points of her life was like going to Aunt Ruth's house to watch her slide show of her latest trip to the Grand Canyon!
I nearly lapsed into a coma!
The 2 death scenes redeemed the show somewhat, though I thought the Vito death was a bit anti-climactic after such a LONG build-up. I did like how Phil literally "came out of the closet" just before Vito died though. Was this symbolizing Phil's own hidden homosexual tendencies? Is that why he had to be so vocal about his disapproval of Vito's lifestyle? He saw him as a reflection of himself?
I dunno...and honestly I don't really care. The Vito story went on way too long.
As far as the other death, who the h eck was the guy who died? There are so many damn characters in this show now that I can't remember who the hell is who anymore. I barely recognized the big fat slob who died so I didn't really care about seeing him get stabbed to death. It just seemed sort of contrived.
The AJ story is going on too long. Lord, Anthony, be the big fat mob boss that you are and kick AJ's ass so we don't have to put up with him any more.
All in all, a boring, catatonic snooze of an episode.
Now, all you hardcore Sopranos fans who can't admit that every episode is anything less than absolutely perfect, go ahead and click the old disagree button.
Then, go back and watch any episode from season 1 or 2 and see if you remain convinced that this season is anywhere near as good as those classics! I'm sorry...Carmella slugging around in Paris for 30 minutes of the show just doesn't compare to Paulie and Christopher lost in the frigging woods...not even close!moreless
More good plots? Fugeddaboutit!
I don\'t understand at all why everyone seems to be loving this season so much. Seasons 1-3 were great, and we may not want to admit it but 4 and 5 were noticeably declining in quality. Still enjoyable at times, but definitely not the same anymore. As for Season 6...it has been a steaming pile of crap about 90% of the time. It\'s just been horribly dragging on with the same few plots that are not moving the series along in any direction, especially considering this was supposed to be coming to an end. We get to spend several hours watching Tony in the hospital. If this had actually been the end of the series maybe there would have been a point to this, but it was extremely obvious that he was not going to die, so why do we have to sit through several hours of the \"oh no will he be ok?\" crap? Not only that but the whole point seemed to be once he woke up that he was going to be changed forever due to his experience. Yeah. He hasn\'t changed at all. It was completely pointless. Then we get to sit through another 5 hours of oh what will happen to the gay mobster??!?! Here\'s a hint. THEY KILL HIM!!! what the hell did you think was going to happen to him?? This could have been interesting if they didn\'t drag it out for so many episodes when we all knew how it was going to end yet again. and then there\'s this episode...what the hell?? did they really think those were good scenes with Carmella?? did they sit there and plot out \"hm let\'s have Carmella go to France and stare deeply at statues. oh and we\'ll film it in real time so you can sit there staring at the statue with her. in complete silence.\" yes that\'s not at all boring or awkward. great job guys. the writers had a chance to end this show well, but clearly they have chosen to simply cash in on the name some more. I know a lot of you will think \"oh but it\'s not just about the mobster stuff and violence\" or \"it\'s a DRAMA show, that\'s what\'s happening real life drama things!\" or blah blah blah. you know what? it\'s A SHOW ABOUT MOBSTERS. yes there is drama, but it needs both. that\'s what made it such a success in the first place. good writing and characters and fun action moments. take away one or the other and it\'s just another typical show. and the drama only works if things actually happen. if I wanted this kind of crappy \"oh no problems at home with the uppity kids\" drama I would go watch the WB. Please just whack Tony already and put us all out of our misery.moreless
No wonder I watch the show!
The show is getting great and still the best show
On HBO despite the cursing, language, and sexuality and that I will be saddened when it leaves for good next year.
But better to go out on top if you ask me.
Carmela goes with Rosalie on a vacation while Tony deals with the mafia and his own family!
Great acting and writing!
Vito gets reamed, meanwhile Carmela takes a trip to Paris. How is this related?
I guess it is not related, although I am sure that there is imagery in the Paris trip that relate to the things back home, such as the neon pig that Carmela photographs. Overall, I am not sure why the Paris trip is so important to the plotline that it should take up so much time in the episode. However, I feel it was nice to see Carmela out of New Jersey and I can't help but feel that her character will be changing real soon in some way.
AJ being forced to work construction is a neat twist. The AJ character is now being forced to grow up, and we all know that he is a chip off the old block. I can see that his progression to become Tony will accellerate now.
As for the killings in this episode, finally all the blood-thirsty fans of Sopranos have something to celebrate. However, I am not one of those. I like to see some action in every episode, but I also enjoy the deep character development that occurs in The Sopranos.
It was good to see the Vito character finally get whacked. The alternative lifestyle storyline was too much for me and it had gone on too long. If I want a story of love between two men, then I will watch "Queer as Folk"... and of course I do not watch that show.
Vito's murder was brutal and it is a good thing they did not show the actual murder, as being reamed by a pool cue is not something that makes for good TV. Watching Vito's children read the newspaper headlines in the aftermath was heart-wrenching. This is what Sopranos is all about.... they will have a storyline about a homosexual mobster, and they will have him brutally killed and in the end they focus on his kids. If you were wondering what type of show this is, this says it all.
What does the next epiosde hold? Will there be more bloodshed? There is certainly going to be a threat of more bloodshed as the New Jersey and New York familes are setting up for a huge war.moreless
"I walked in on AJ and I saw him giggling on the computer typin away in some little chitchat room talkin to some other fkn jerkoff. I just wanted to slam his fkn face into it."- Tony Soprano
Woooo what an episode. It ranged from Tony finally realizing how spoiled A.J is and finally doing something to keep him out of future trouble, to Carmella finally getting a chance to finally unwind in Paris away from the struggles of her half retarded son (A.J), to an upcoming war between New York and New Jersey. Let me start with Phil Leotardo who I once respected in Season 5. He showed that he was all walk and all talk by threatening and destroying those friends of Tonys that stepped in his way of looking for Tony Blundetto. But this season, he has crossed the line by killing a made man even though it was going to be dealt with by Tony the next morning. It was done by Phil only to build his pride as well as to gain more respect and fear from others. That only shows us fans that he is only out for himself and will go against anyone to do so. Too bad Johnny Sach is no longer able put Phil in line, so in that case he may be the next one as Boss for New York. Also Carmella's trip to Paris that supposedly gave her an enlightened look on life and a new beginning will finally be crushed when they left her in the last forshawdowing scene where she was washing his clothes. Possibly going to discover Tony's infidelity left behind?? Who knows. Onto A.J we see that he feels that Meadow is leaving him behind in having a life by moving away, but will not cross his dad when giving him a job. It was finally great to see the end of the Vito situation even though it was stretched to too many episodes. However, the directors did a great job in having some episodes the gang not to dwell on riding Vito. Now Tony is stuck with the problem of whether he should back his crew for killing Phil's guy or to play the "I donno what happened "card. With only an episode left for this season, we can only see a mob war occuring.moreless
2 parts good plus 1 part bad equals an average episode.
Why is Sopranos trying to waste money any way they can?
We finally understand why Vito\'s been featured so promonently in recent episodes. While some find it distasteful, it\'s to help show later that when Vito comes back and says \"It\'s over\" we know the truth that he\'s lying.
Yes Vito does come back, and his story for the most part is wrapped up. We even see that Tony decides that it\'s over for him, so the only person who was on his side has now turned on him. His ending though is definitely going to brought up again. With a New York mob boss coming in and taking over when New Jersey has it already handled, we\'re going to see a lot of problems arise from that, of course Philly Leotardo has the problem with the Blundetto slaying to fall back on.
Basically to sum all that up, it\'s a perfect killing, and the characters are all maneuvering around it. Wonderfully set up and done.
Apparently it\'s buy one get one free, there\'s another murder, of a loudmouth borrower of money. Well done as well, showing us that Carlo, who was supposed to kill Vito, and Silvio, while hating Vito, still defends him like always, as he is still one of theirs outside the bosses\' table.
The acting and building up to this point has been well done and continued this season. Stories about people are brought up and you\'re brought in to the table and episode like before. Though it\'s not constant, because of the third story, that will be mentioned later.
The second out of three stories that the episode focuses on is AJ and Tony\'s problems. While it hasn\'t been concluded, Tony definitely reaches his boiling point, and it\'s understandable, AJ is getting more and more like Tony at times, and then at other times he\'s becoming a loser. Tony finally has it out with him, and it works well with the other story. It\'s more of a step though then the final jump.
Finally we have the \"France\" story, with Carmela and Rosalie going to France. There was a few revelations there, but by and large that section of the story was extremely dull. I don\'t mean \"nothing major happened\" I mean the story just kept on going, and it was extremely boring, every time a scene shot in France came on it just started to make the audience sleepy.
Rosalie and Carmela both were well acted, but it feels like they could have set the scene in Kansas (for what ever reason they traveled there) and the scene would have worked just as well. We do get a dream scene from Carmela which is somewhat interesting and revealing for Rosalie who is still in denial.
Basically the season is ending and the episode is definitely is closing the door opened this season but with the huge waste of money to go shoot in France with little return, the episode definitely suffers quite a bit as the France scenes just were devoid of interesting subject matter.
If we could remove any France scenes, this would be a show that belonged in the \"golden\" age, the first and second season where there\'s violence and plot being developed. Even with the less than average French scenes included and it\'s definitely going to be a fan favorite, just for the ending of the Vito arc. However it\'s just not a very good episode on it\'s own and that\'s where it ends up.moreless
Another GREAT episode.
Just perfect, the two killings are classics.
Another GREAT episode.
Just perfect, the two killings are classics.
Vito gets whacked at the motel by Phil and a couple of NY Capos.
This is the best episode of the season, and one of the best of all time.
But now its interesting because i am sure most of us thought that vito was gonna get whacked in the season finale, and now that leaves the finale wide open. i sure hope that it is phil that is gonna be next and i hope that they brutally torture him. something is going on with chris also. i am sure it will be a good ending of the finale until jan 2007.
This redeems last weeks slower episode.
Man, this show is good. People either love it or hate it. This episode makes up for the slowness of last weeks show. People either love or hated the premise of Vito being gay, and at first I was uncomfortable also, but the guy he meet in New Hampshire was so cool and honest that I got into the storyline, then all of a sudden they kill the guy? (Vito)
I mean, they could have really got some mileage out of the gay plot but as usual for the Sopranos (just like they did with Adrianna) they kill off an interesting character. Who knows, maybe that\\\'s what makes \\\'em succesful. What makes the Sopranos great are the subtle NUANCES of everything they say and do. I had to watch it a second time to pick up on some of what was said, or to catch a code or phrase I missed the first time.
Like when the gang was talking about Vito\\\'s demise and one of the boys say, \\\"I should\\\'a borrowed money from him\\\" and you see one of the guys WHO DID borrow money before Vito was killed kinda smile. And the guys stabbing the guy from the NY crew was CLASSIC Sopranos, filmed just like a couple of 50 year old guys WOULD kill somebody. Although Tony is the central character, everybody else is pretty interesting also. All in all a good episode.moreless
Why do I keep watching this show?! This review is really just a rant that built up over the course of this season.
I thought last week's episode was the worst episode ever (it was). But this week, they spent 30 minutes of their 1 hour show covering Carmella in France, while she was enthralled with French architecture. What do I care about France? So she took some pictures of neon pigs swilling a martini or something...classy. Is it interesting that Tony controls Carmela and does not want her to be independent? NO! No one cares about the spec house or any of her attempts at independence.
And the news that Meadow is moving out came out of nowhere, and I still haven't seen any nipple from that girl! I'm begging the producers to tell Meadow that she will be a star if she gets naked. It will save this crappy season.
The worst part about this entire episode was that the Sopranos practically dedicated this entire season to the gay fat man, and they don't even show his death! But at least they finally killed Vito--5 episodes too late.
AND ANOTHER THING! There is only one episode left, and do they air it next week so I can stay up to watch the episode because of the holiday here?! NOOOOO, because that damn show is airing the season finale in 2 weeks! Now I'll have to ask a friend to TIVO it for me. This is the worst show ever. I need to go to Sopranos Anonymous because I am powerless from stopping myself from watching this godawful show. My girlfriend asked me why we have to watch this crappy show, and I told her that I don't know why but I have to.moreless
Kinda disappointing but not a terrible episode
Honestly, this episode and the past 2 have been a little disappointing. They're not bad episodes, just realtive compared to the earlier episodes of the seasons.
Most regular watchers would have predicted that Vito was going to be killed and the way he was killed was also not unexpected.
A couple memorable quotes in this episode. "The homicide detective said they found a pool cue shoved up his ass" was wrong but hysterical.
One thing I do have to say, for an older woman, Rosalie Aprile looks damn good. I guess thats what a lot of makeup and a good cameraman can do.
I really hope though that the final episode this season is going to be really spectacular.moreless

1-0 - WAWRINKA 1-0 - A timely hold for the Swiss player, who leads 1-0 at the outset of the second set. Yet to see a break in this match. Wawrinka pushing his opponent hard here. And that is no mean feat with Federer producing some lovely stuff himself.
7-6 - SET FEDERER 7-6 - The class begins to out in the tie-break as a lovely passage of play helps Federer move 6-3 clear to bring up three more break points. Wawrinka saves the first one on his serve, but cannot do anything on the seventh set point as he is backed up and can only dump the ball into the net from deep. A 1-0 lead for Federer. He takes the breaker 7-4.
6-6 - 6-6 - We head for the breaker. Wawrinka dragging himself back from 0-40 behind with some imperious hitting, but Federer maintains the pressure as he bullets a forehand into the corner of the court that Wawrinka can only empty back into the net. Wawrinka fights the good fight to stave off another set point befoe coming through to force the breaker. A stunning response really by Wawrinka. Battling hard to push Federer all the way.
6-5 - FEDERER 6-5 - Federer throws his third ace down the middle for a 6-5 lead in this first set. Has been really entertaining stuff with Wawrinka really holding up well. Won a couple of points there on the Federer serve, but the world number one comes up with the goods in the key moments. On we go. Wawrinka looking to take this first set to a break.
5-5 - A brilliant backhand winner from the back of the court by Federer is good enough to hand the Swiss player set point after Wawrinka failed to convert a volley at the net. Wawrinka successfully challenges a call to deny Federer as the ball flies long before closing out the game to level at 5-5. Superb hold for Wawrinka. All to play for again.
5-4 - Federer not hanging about in establishing a 5-4 lead in this opening set. Drops only one point in that game as he ambles back to his chair knowing Wawrinka must hold serve to stay in this first set. Pressure swinging one way then the other.
4-4 - Wawrinka facing a huge point at 30-30, but he rushes the shot and ends up drilling the forehand into the middle of the net. Break point to Federer, but he floats the backhand return wide before Federer hits the net from a powerful Wawrinka ace. Another solid serve enables Wawrinka to escape to level at 4-4. Both men saving break points in their previous service game now.
4-3 - FEDERER 4-3 - Wawrinka last beat Federer three years ago on clay - his only victory over his compatriot - but he is coming up with some superb tennis here. Federer forced to save only his second break point of the tournament with an ace in holding for a 4-3 lead. This set all very tight. Wawrinka will serve to level at 4-4.
3-3 - 3-3 - Anthing you can do, I can do better. Wawrinka certainly relishing this match so far. Not willing to wilt in any shape or form as he comes up with a few superb shots to hold to love. Finished off that game in some style as he converts an overhead winner at the net. We are all square again in this match.
3-2 - FEDERER 3-2 - Another love game for Federer. Wawrinka toiling really to lay a glove on Federer at the moment on his serve. On we go then with Wawrinka continuing to play catch-up in this opening set.
2-2 - 2-2 - Wawrinka trying to be as aggressive as he can be. Moving forward with some real menace here and reaping the rewards as he holds for a second time in the set. Wawrinka trying to get that bludgeoning forehand on the go as much as possible. Couple of blistering efforts by the Swiss number two in that game.
2-1 - FEDERER 2-1 - Federer with no such problems in that game as he again picks up a comfortable service game to move ahead by the odd game in three. Federer looking to lock horns with Novak Djokovic in the final after his win over Juan Martin Del Potro in the opening semi-final.
1-1 - Wawrinka forced to deuce in his first service game, but escapes holding serve as Federer whips a forehand wide. Federer probing and prompting in his usual manner, but a couple of clubbing groundstrokes by Wawrinka help him stand up to the pressure. A very timely hold. 1-1 in the opening set.
1-0 - FEDERER 1-0 - In the blink of an eye, Federer holds to love to move one game clear in this match. So much pressure on the Wawrinka serve with Federer off to a flier in this match. Already looks in the groove.
0-0 - Federer to serve in the opening game of the match.
20.00 - Federer with a 10-1 career winning record over Wawrinka, who is the Swiss number two. Both men knocking up here at the start of this match. Difficult to see anything other than a Federer win.

Planning "your" life is unique to you. There is no one like you in the world. However, we can learn from each other about ways that might help us plan our lives. I enjoy the process of planning and helping other people plan. While you may not find my process to your liking, I hope you will find a process that works for you and then work it. Here are some suggestions to get you started.
God's Plans For You In 2015
Happy New Year! What are your plans for 2015? Spend more time with family and less time at work? Get healthy? Lose weight? Get a better job? Make more money?
If you look to the wisdom of the world about the importance of planning your life, you'll see things like this:
- Planning gives you purpose
- Planning gives you direction
- Planning puts you in control
- Planning gives you power
- Planning gives you hope
- Planning gives you balance
- Planning gives you peace
- Planning gives you freedom
While those sound like good ideas for planning your life, think about this question for a few moments. What about God's plans for your life? What does He have in mind for you to accomplish? Could it be that God's plans for your life are better than what the world's plans?
I'm Praying for You 5
"We will pray for you."
"You are in our prayers."
Look familiar? It should. Those are the words often written in the comments section of Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and other social media. Someone we know shares a problem, a challenge, a prayer request and we have to make a decision. Do we respond or not? Do we just click the 'like' button and move on or take a minute to leave a comment? If we leave a comment, what do we say? If we say we're praying for them, are we? Will we?
Jesus shared this advice about prayer in the context of not doing charitable deeds before men to be seen by them.
"But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly." Matthew 6:6
Jesus said that if people pray to be seen by others, they "have no reward from your Father in heaven." Why? Because hypocritical people do that "that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward." (Matthew 6:1-2) That seems like good advice when we consider commenting publicly on social media about our intentions to 'pray' for someone, but how does that affect us in a social media setting?
Teaching Wisdom to Our Children (Final Part)
God is "all wise." That may sound simple, but its depths no man knows.
"… to God, alone wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever." Romans 16:27
"Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men." 1 Corinthians 1:20-25
Every time God says something – stop and listen. God does not waste words or actions. He's Perfect and does all things perfectly. When God brought Israel out of bondage to Egypt and spoke with them in the wilderness He wanted the Israelites to listen to Him. Why? Because He knew what was best for them. That is true today. God saves us from the bondage of sin and death and speaks to us through His Word and His Spirit. He expects us to listen to Him because He knows what's best for us.
As we bring this special series about Teaching Wisdom to Our Children to a close, for now, here's an example of God's Wisdom that children need to learn, understand and obey in order to be successful in bringing God glory during their life on earth.
Grace in the Third Millennium (Pt 2)
We continue today sharing a GraceLife article written almost 15 years ago at the beginning of the Third Millennium A.D. These were thoughts about the new millennium at the beginning of the new millennium. I'm thinking now about how the first 15 years of the millennium have gone for Christians and the world God called us to reach with the Gospel. This is the second part of that article. If you haven't read the first part, you may want to do that now.
Also, I'm curious what you think about what this article says about Christians and Christianity, about the Gospel and the people who need to hear it. Please share your comments with us and we'll include them in the section below the article. Thanks!
Grace in the Third Millennium (Pt 1)
Not too often, but sometimes, I'll look back at GraceLife articles from many years ago to get some perspective on how we're doing. Some of the articles go back more than 30 years, but this one is more recent. I wrote it at the turn of the millennium while thinking about what was ahead for the Body of Christ on earth. Now that same article may help us look back on how we've done during the past 15 years and what we can do better in service to our Savior, Lord and King, Jesus Christ in the years to come.
What We Can Do For The Persecuted Church
I recently listened to Franklin Graham, son of evangelist Billy Graham, say that he believes the American Church hasn't done enough for the persecuted Church. Graham appeared on television with the wife of Pastor Saeed Abedini to share his concern for Saeed and thousands of Christians around the world who are imprisoned and beaten for their faith in Jesus Christ. Pastor Abedini is an American citizen, but the government of Iran detained him two years ago (9/26/12) because of his Christian ministry. Iran believes the pastor is a threat to its national security.
Is Graham right that the American Church has not done enough for Christians around the world who are suffering, really suffering, for their faith in Christ? You bet he is and here's why.
Teaching Wisdom to Our Children (Pt 24)
The fifth step to Teaching Wisdom To Our Children is to lead them to understand the power of the influence of things. That includes money and possessions. Both have been the downfall of millions of people through history.
A simple way of explaining the process from enticement to wise results is found in the first chapter of Proverbs: "My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not…My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path." If someone entices you to sin, don't do it. Easier said than done, I know, but the fact remains that if we don't consent to the enticement to sin, we won't commit that sin.
Teaching Wisdom to Our Children (Pt 23)
"All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For 'the two,' He says, 'shall become one flesh.' But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's." 1 Corinthians 6:12-20
Children from Christian homes will generally agree with their parents about sexual standards until they reach the early to middle teen years. If they are part of a strong youth group or other Christian influence (like Christian martial arts), their commitment to Christian standards about sex may continue through their teen years and into adulthood. However, the combination of peer pressure, hormones and what the world tells our young people about sex may lead some Christian young people to experiment with sex.
Teaching Wisdom to Our Children (Pt 22)
We should be able to agree, based on God's Word, that sexual relations before marriage are wrong. The question now is how to teach that to children and teenagers so they understand the dangers to their bodies and minds and help them deal with sexual temptations that will surely come their way as they mature.
We turn again to the Book of Proverbs for insights into how to teach the wisdom of sexual purity to children. God tells children what other people will do to entice them to have sex outside of marriage. Here are several examples we can share with our children and young people. It's also a good reminder for those of us who have been married many years.
