Prince_of_Persia 4. Описание
Легендарный Принц Персии вернулся! В новом обличии, с невероятными возможностями и историей. Теперь ему придется выступить посредником, палачом и судьей в споре двух великих Богов: Ормадза, бога Света и Аримана, бога Тьмы. Но Принц не один в этом глобальном противостоянии - вместе с ним Элика - хитрая, ловкая и очень красивая воительница со своей судьбой и историей. Вместе нашим героям придется распутать клубок божественных интриг и остановить проклятие, которое ниспослал на Землю ужасный Ариман.
По сравнению с предыдущей трилогией изменилось все: от графического стиля до боевой системы. Неизменной осталась лишь ускользающая и мистическая атмосфера Древнего Востока - та самая, которой дышат все игры величественной серии Принц Персии. Это уже не сказка... Это новый принц. И новая легенда.
Особенности игры:
* Удивительная по красоте прорисовка персонажей. Такое ощущение, что Принца раскрасили акварелью поверх полигонов.
* Уникальная игровая физика. Впервые в истории подобных игр вы не мучаетесь, а наслаждаетесь акробатикой.
* Инновационный боевой режим. Драка с противником напоминает высокохудожественный танец с саблями.
* Отличающийся действительно высоким интеллектом AI-напарник.
* Завораживающие своей красотой пейзажи Древней Персии.
Set in a land rooted in ancient Persian mythology, the Prince finds himself caught in an epic battle between the primal forces of light and darkness: the God of Light, Ormazd versus his brother Ahriman, the destructive God of Darkness. The Prince arrives just in time to witness the destruction of the legendary Tree of Life – an act which threatens to plunge the entire world into eternal darkness. Manifested in the form of the Corruption, a dark substance that physically contaminates the land and the skies, the Prince must partner with Elika, a deadly companion, to heal the world from the evil Corruption. Game features include:
* A new hero emerges: Master the acrobatics, strategy and fighting tactics of the most agile warrior of all time. Grip fall down the face of a building, perform perfectly timed acrobatic combinations, swing over canyons, buildings and anything that is reachable. This new rogue warrior must utilize all of his new skills along with a whole new combat system to battle Ahriman's corrupted lieutenants to heal the land from the dark Corruption and restore the light.
* A new epic journey begins: Escape to experience the new fantasy world of ancient Persia. Masterful storytelling and sprawling environments will deliver to action-adventure fans an experience that rivals even the best Hollywood movies.
* A new open world structure: A first for the Prince of Persia franchise – now you have the freedom to determine how the game evolves in this non-linear adventure. Players will decide how they unfold the storyline by choosing their path in the open-ended world.
* Emergence of a deadly new ally: History's greatest ally is revealed in the form of Elika, a dynamic AI companion who joins the Prince in his fight to save the world. Gifted with magical powers, she interacts with the player in combat, acrobatics and puzzle-solving enabling the Prince to reach new heights of deadly high-flying artistry through special duo acrobatic moves or devastating fighting combo attacks.
* All new for Next-Gen: The franchise's debut on next-generation consoles utilizes Ubisoft's proprietary Anvil engine, the same engine used to develop Assassins Creed.

>>>.....Citizen Cope.....>>>. Группа хорошей и качественной музыки
на вкус
Something is great about this one. The phrase buzzed around in my head, mixing with the endorphins that cracked and snapped about their different relays, telling me that I liked this music. This music is good. The beer in your hand is good.* You are loving this, aren't you? Aren't you?
Singer/Song Writer, Citizen Cope recently headlined in Towson's Recher Theatre, a large dimly lit room washed in blood red drapes. Two bars, bouncers at the door who think they're funny, an entrance covered in music posters: enough ambiance to make you dream of owning rooms filled with nothing but silk pillows and feathery boas. Brilliance -- all of it.
His music is simple to the point of being stripped down, as if bearing it all was the only way to get our attention. The Spartan band behind him was made up of a drummer, a bassist, two keyboardists, and Cope on guitar. A mix of hip-hop, folk, and blues his songs are mostly beats - mix bass drum, high hat, snare, clap track and repeat - buffed smooth by a haggard, road-weary voice. Uncommon chords for texture and keyboards for lift.
I was there in the middle of a crowd that hung on Mr. Cope's every word. You have probably been in a situation like this one before. If you have seen a favorite artist live, you know the procedure. Stand elbow to elbow with lovers in varied states of decay - high school to golden years - and you reach clumsily into your bag of lyrics, struggling to throw them out in time with everybody else. Nevertheless, you dance, sway back and forth and put your chin to your chest to feel that beat and buzz in your rib cage. Somebody screams, You're melting my face! Artist finishes up a song and you try to guess what's coming next. You are loving this, aren't you?
But even as I enjoyed myself like everyone else, the experience unsettled me. Cope is an intensely powerful lyricist. Without useless contemplation or pretension, you sense a plain type of grief laced in his words. A grief at once deeply personal, but one that managed to untether me from the scene, causing me to think about what I was listening to. His song topics range from a laundry list of tragedy in Let the Drummer Kick That to exploration of danger of American jingoism in Bullet and a Target. One of my favorites, his song Penitentiary taps into fears for a culture growing more trapped by fear and war: Well I'm waiting on a time when people walk free to see/From the penitentiary in our mind/When there's no need to bleed/For your father/Or your son.
One Rolling Stone critic called him a modern day bluesman who paints a plaintive portrait of the human condition. Another, not-so-friendly critic from music and culture website, SoundtheSirens said: I'm sure there's some soulful guy with a guitar who can write better songs sitting in some coffee shop somewhere who deserves the exposure more than he does. This may be warranted, I just happen to disagree.
As a balding-twenty-something tapped his toe to the beat of Sideways against my heal, I was reminded of a perplexing moment a few months prior. I had created a Citizen Cope station on an Internet radio website called Pandora. If you have not used Pandora before, its program takes an artist that you give it and plays the music of similar artists based on style and genre.Normally, Pandora is right on, accurate as anyone could hope for. But the artists that Pandora surrounded Cope with -- Damien Rice, Jack Johnson, Ryan Adams, Howie Day, Beck -- sound nothing like him, perhaps Beck being the closest. I won't say that no one sounds like Citizen Cope -- that cannot be justified. However, one has serious trouble placing him in any sort of context. This frustrates me, because I need musical landmarks,

Биография группы на английском
It was a balmy April day, the kind of day that feels like the damp air of a band rehearsal room. Pushmonkey needed to take a break from writing for their fourth full length release, so in true Pushmonkey fashion, the guys loaded up in their trusty red Ford F-250 van and headed to Suzi’s Chinese Kitchen.
“I remember eating at Suzi’s that day and talking about possible titles for the new CD,” drummer Darwin Keys explains. “I remember throwing out Misfortune Cookie as a possible title and getting a laugh from the waiter. As he was carrying our food to the table, he says in broken English, “maybe the year of the monkey will bring good luck to you.” And then he spills an entire plate of mu-shu pork on Will’s lap. I mean if that is not a sign from God, I don’t know what is. How money is hot pork in spicy, tangy brown sauce on Will’s lap with a side of ancient Chinese wisdom? We all felt it in our laps, err, our hearts that this truly would be the YEAR OF THE MONKEY. The CD title debate ended right then and there.”
Not all decisions in the band are made by tragic restaurant mishaps. CD titles aside, the biggest problem the band needed to resolve was who would produce the new CD and help stretch the band’s artistic limits? “I ran into Paul Leary one day and gave him a CD of some demo’s that we had recorded. I didn’t think I would hear back from him, and then he called. It’s not everyday that a band gets to work with a producer like Paul Leary,” says bassist Pat Fogarty.
For those not in the know, Paul Leary is the outer space guitar player in the legendary band Butthole Surfers and multi-platinum producer of bands including Sublime and U2. Howie goes on to say, “Paul is the perfect producer for us. When you have five strong-minded people in a band like ours, it is important to have a producer that we all trust and respect. Paul fit that role perfectly. This was the most fun I’ve ever had recording. We‘ve had some hard times these last few years. It was good to have fun again.”
With the 2001 release of El Bitche, Pushmonkey was poised to take advantage of the momentum produced by two years of hard touring with the likes of Godsmack, Kid Rock, Fuel and the Ozzfest. “Then 9-11 happened,” singer Tony Park laments. “A few days after our CD came out, the tragedy happened. That event put a lot of things into perspective for us and I’m sure for everyone else in the States. We all struggled in our own ways. Writing for this new CD has been therapeutic to say the least.”
Fast-forward three years and Pushmonkey is about to do what they do best, releasing a new CD and playing to their loyal fans. The Year of the Monkey is their most adventurous and emotionally charged release to date. Guitarist Will Hoffman sums it up, “We’ve been a band for a long time and we can be our own worst critics. Recording this CD got us in touch again with one another and I think it comes through in the songs. We couldn’t be happier, like a family with a new baby that has all his toes.”
On celebrating the CD release, Will explains, “It is tradition that we go out to a nice restaurant the day the CD comes out. We’ve decided on steak. It’s easier to scrape off my lap than Chinese food.”

EZRA USA - World Youth Movement. EZRA USA - WORLD YOUTH MOVEMENT
FOR RUSSIAN-SPEAKING JEWISH YOUTH OF AMERICA
The Ezra USA youth movement is a part of the Ezra World jewish organization, focusing its work on the russian speaking communities in North America, the FSU and Germany.
Goals of Ezra USA:
Development of jewish education
Fighting assimilation
Strengthening jewish self-identification
Leadership development in the russian jewish community
Support for the State of Israel
Ezra USA is currently the most dynamic and progressive youth movement in the russian speaking jewish world.
It is important to note that the development of Ezra is a direct result of the continuing effort of russian speaking jewish leaders, who understand the specific needs of this community and realize the critical need for the development of leadership in the russian speaking Jewish communities of the diaspora - it is towards this goal that most of the efforts are directed.
The russian speaking community in the US must go through all the steps of getting on its feet and creating community institutions; finding its own methods for effective jewish education. However, it is critical to first raise a new generation of leaders in the community.
It will fall to those who are today 18 to 30 years old to create the jewish community. They will decide what kind of education their children will receive: whether their education will have a jewish component, if their children identify themselves as jews, whether they will support the State of Israel, whether they will make a contribution to the development of jewish culture and education and, finally, whether they will pass the baton to the next generation, meaning their children.
More than 5,000 russian speaking participants have visited Israel as part of Ezra USA's educational trips.
Thousands of young russian speaking jews participate in the projects and programs of the Ezra movement, and the number of programs, like the number of participants, continues to grow.
The 21st century has dimmed or erased many ideals. New ideals have augmented and, more often, supplanted old principles, traditions and ideas.
The creation of the jewish state and the resurgence of jewish self-identification in the 20th century occurred in large part due to the birth of an idea and jewish leaders who were willing to fight for that idea, doing everything to turn it into reality.
Today, the russian speaking jewish community in the US, numerically, is the largest in the world.
After retaining their Judaism through WWII and communism, russian speaking jews in America are now on the brink of extinction, not physically, but spiritually.
Unfortunately, our people have been almost entirely unable to preserve their jewish traditions, culture and national values.
At the current time, it is critical to put every possible effort towards keeping the next generation an integral part of the jewish nation.
It is this goal, which is the driving force of the leaders of Ezra USA - leaders who believe in this idea and are ready to fight to achieve it. This is what makes the Ezra youth movement so unique.
Today Ezra USA, as a result of its successful work, has achieved recognition and support from many of the largest jewish funds and organizations. We have already accomplished much, however we are certain that much more work remains ahead!

The Cat Came Back. Группа поклонников песни The Cat Came Back:
Old Mr. Johnson had trouble all his own
He had a yellow cat that wouldn't leave his home
He tried in every way to keep that cat away
Took him up to Canada and told him for to stay
But the cat came back the very next day
The cat came back, they thought he was a goner
But the cat came back, he just wouldn't stay away
On a telegraph wire the birds were sitting in a bunch
He saw an even number,said he'd have 'em for his lunch
Climbed softly up the pole until he reached the top
Put his foot upon the 'lectric wire, tied him in a knot
This cat had company out in the backyard
Somebody threw a boot and threw it awful hard
Hit the cat behind the ear and he thought it was a slight
And down came a brick and knocked him out of sight
They threw him in the kennel where the dog was asleep
And the bones of cats lay piled in a heap
That kennel burst apart and the dog flew out the side
With his ears chewed off and holes in his hide
They sneaked him in a shop with the butcher not around
And they dropped him in the hopper where the meat was ground
The cat despaired with a blood-curdling shriek
And that shops hamburger tasted furry for a week
They put him in a cotton sack and gave him to a girl
Who'd started on a bicycle all around the world
Well, over there in China a terrible wreak was found
She's singing now in heaven with the angels all around
Now this cat was a terror and they thought it would be best
To give him to a feller who was going way out west
Train ran round a curve and hit a broken rail
Not a blessed soul aboard that train lived to tell the tale
The cat was a possessor of a family all its own
With seven little kittens till there was a cyclone
Blew the houses all apart and tossed the cat around
The air was full of kittens and not a one was found
Away across the ocean they did send the cat at last
Vessel only out a day and taking water fast
People all began to pray, the boat began to toss
A great big gust of wind came by and every soul was lost
They gave the cat to a man in a balloon
And told him to give him to the man in the moon
But the balloon it busted and everybody said
Ten miles away they picked the man up dead
At last they found a way this cat to really fix
They put him in an orange crate on highway 66
Come a ten ton truck with a twenty ton load
Scattered pieces of that orange crate a mile down the road
They put him on a boat bound for Sidneytown
They thought with all that rain there he'd surely drowned
When the rain came down for the 92nd day
That whole darn city just a floated out the bay
The farmer on the corner said he'd shoot that cat on sight
Loaded up his shotgun full of nails and dynamite
And he hid in the garden till the cat came round
But 97 pieces of that man were all they found
They put him on the White House lawn, I'll tell the reason why
With all the golfballs flying, they thought he'd surely die
Well the very next morning, what do you think they found
64 squirrels lying dead upon the ground
Gave him to a little boy with a dollar note
Who was going out to sea in an open boat
They tied a rock around his neck, it must have weighed a pound
Now they're dragging up the river, cause the little boy was drowned
They took him down to Cape Canaveral and they put him into place
And they shot him in a satellite way up into space
They thought that the cat was beyond human reach
And then they got a phone call from Miami Beach
H bomb fell just the other day,
A bomb fell in the very same way
Russia went, England went, then the USA
The whole human race gone without a chance to pray.
