http://www.unseen64.net The Lost was a third-person shooter/survival horror game co-developed by Irrational Games and FXLabs. Set to be released in 2002 for the Playstation 2 and Xbox game consoles, The Lost went through several phases of development hell until it was completed, and canceled. The Lost is heavily inspired by Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, particularly Inferno. The setting is present day, and the main character is a waitress/medical student named Amanda Wright. Amanda is a single mother who has lost her only daughter, Beatrice, in a tragic car accident. Desperate and suicidal, Amanda makes a deal with the devil. Selling her soul, she is given the chance to plunge into the bowels of a concentration camp-esque hell in an attempt to rescue her daughter's soul. The only aids she has in the bowels of hell are Virgil, a strange reptilian creature who Amanda must free from an enchanted sword, and four hellish beings called the Entities. The Lost's development period had always been relatively rocky. Playable models of the game had been described as unstable, with a jittery framerate. [1] The developer chose to retool the graphics engine in mid-development. Also, Crave Entertainment changed The Lost's traditional publishing model to a budget game model. Eventually, legal problems amassed, and the completed game was canceled. 2K Boston/2K Australia (previously known as Irrational Games) is a video game developer founded in 1997 by three former employees of Looking Glass Studios: Ken Levine, Jonathan Chey, and Robert Fermier as Irrational Games. On January 9, 2006, Take-Two Interactive announced that they had purchased Irrational, and would publish their games under the 2K Games label."

Chère Maman<br />Tu es appréciée<br />Quand j'étais jeune, ma mère et moi, nous nous sommes disputés, et à 17 ans j'ai été mis à la rue<br />Bien qu'en ce temps là, je n'ai jamais pensé que je reverrai son visage,<br />Il n'y a aucune femme vivante qui puisse prendre sa place.<br />Renvoyé à l'école, effrayé de rentrer à la maison<br />J'étais un idiot, engrené par les grands garçons, brisant les règlements<br />Avec ma petite sœur, j'ai versé tant de larmes<br />Au fil des années nous étions plus pauvres que les autres galopins<br />Et bien que nous ayons des pères différents, le même drame<br />quand les choses n'allaient pas nous blâmions maman.<br />Je me souviens du stress que j'ai causé, c'était l'enfer,<br />enlacé dans les bras de ma mère depuis une cellule de prison.<br />Et qui aurait pensé qu'en classe élémentaire je verrai le pénitencier<br />Un jour, coursé par la police, c'est vrai<br />Maman m'a attrapée et m'a flanqué un coup<br />Et même si, Maman, t'étais accro au crack, tu as toujours été une reine noire,<br />Maman, j'ai enfin compris que pour une femme, ce n'est pas facile d'essayer d'élever un homme<br />Tu a toujours été une battante engagée, une pauvre mère seule sans aucune assistance,<br />Dis-moi comment as-tu fais car je ne pourrais jamais te le remercier<br />Mais mon but est de te montrer que j'ai compris<br />Tu es appréciée<br /><br />Refrain :<br />Ne sais-tu pas que l'on t'aime<br />Douce Maman, personne ne peut prendre ta place<br /><br />A présent, personne ne peut nous dire que c'était juste<br />Pas d'amour pour mon père, parce que le lâche était absent<br />Il s'est en aller et je n'ai pas pleuré<br />Car ma colère ne me permet pas d'avoir des sentiments pour un étranger<br />Ils disent que j'ai tort et que je suis sans coeur<br />Mais tout au long, j'ai cherché un père, Lui est parti<br />J'ai traîné avec les bandits,<br />Et bien qu'ils vendirent de la drogue, ils ont montré l'amour à un jeune frère<br />J'ai déménagé et j'ai commencé à vraiment m'accrocher<br />J'ai eu besoin d'argent alors j'ai commencé à mal tourné<br />Je ne suis pas coupable car, bien que je vendis de la drogue<br />C'était bon de mettre de l'argent dans ta boîte aux lettres<br />J'aime payer le loyer quand le loyer est dû<br />J'espère que tu as le collier de diamants que je t'ai envoyé<br />Car même démoralisé, tu étais là pour moi<br />Tu ne m'as jamais laissé seul, car tu te souciais de moi<br />Et je te vois revenir à la maison tard après le travail<br />Tu es dans la cuisine, tu nous prépares un plat chaud<br />vec juste les restes que l'on t'avait offertes.<br />Et maman nous faisait des miracles à chaque Thanksgiving.<br />Mais maintenant, la route s'est endurcie, tu est seule,<br />essayant d'élever de tes mains deux mauvais gamins.<br />Je ne pourrais jamais te le remercier,<br />Mais mon but est de te montrer que j'ai compris<br />Tu es appréciée...<br /><br />Refrain<br /><br />Je lève un verre, et je me souviens,<br />Car au travers les temps durs, je peux toujours compter sur ma mère,<br />Et quand je me sens désespéré,<br />Tu as toujours les mots pour me rassurer.<br />Quand gamin j'étais souffrant, il n'y avait aucune limite à tes yeux pour me rendre heureux,<br />Et tous ses souvenirs d'enfance sont remplis du bonheur que tu m'aies donné<br />Et même si j'agissais mal, je dois remercier le seigneur que tu m'aies donné la vie.<br />Il n'y a pas mots pour exprimer ce que je ressens<br />Tu ne nous as jamais caché tes secrets, tu es toujours restée vraie,<br />Et j'apprécie comment tu m'as élevé et tout l'amour que tu m'as offert.<br />J'espère que je pourrai effacer les peines.<br />Si tu as réussi dans l'ombre, tu ne peux qu'avoir des jours meilleurs.<br />Tout ira bien si tu tiens tête,<br />C'est une lutte, les jours doivent s'améliorer<br />et je ne vois pas comment je pourrai te remercier<br />mais mon but est de te dire que j'ai compris<br />tu es appréciée<br /><br />Refrain<br /><br />-------------------------<br />Dear Mama<br />You are appreciated...<br /><br />When I was young, me and my mama had beef<br />17 years

Cristal Gallegos - FullRide Interview

Cristal Gallegos - FullRide Interview

Unknown length - Jun 8, 2008

Cristal recognized early in life that the key to a better life was education. She has always pushed herself to succeed, not because her mother forced it on her or because she would miss out on extracurricular activities such as softball, but because she wanted to succeed for herself. Cristal has worked hard throughout her career at Tascosa High School to fulfill that goal. She is currently enrolled in the most demanding math courses offered at Tascosa and tied for the second highest grade in the class. Additionally, she has assisted other students with math. Completing a community service requirement for National Honor Society led Cristal to assist one of the math teachers who does math tutoring during lunch and after school. Even after she finished the NHS requirement, she continued to help those students because of her desire to see them succeed. Finances for Cristal’s family have always been tight. She has a car but it is not reliable and her single mother is raising Cristal and her teenage sister. Her mother is unable to assist Cristal with her education or her automobile expenses, so Cristal recognizes the need “to step up.” It is obvious a full scholarship and a dependable car would allow Cristal to prove her independence. However, the self motivation Cristal possesses likely insures she will be a success regardless of the assistance she receives.

The Emotions - Best Of My Love (1977)

4 min

The Emotions are an all female soul, disco, and R&B singing group that was most successful during the late-1970s and 1980s. The group was formed in their hometown of Chicago, Illinois in 1968, and originally consisted of the three Hutchinson sisters, all the children of Joseph and Lillian Hutchinson.Joseph had prayed for talented children before the girls were born, and wasted no time in developing their musical skills. As soon as the girls could talk, he began teaching them music skills, and had them practice in the basement of their home on the south side of Chicago. When Sheila, the youngest, was five years old, they began singing in church choirs and were known as the Hutchinson Sunbeams. Joseph's son, Joseph, Jr. (born 1957) would eventually become the Sunbeams' guitarist. In 1968, the girls changed their name to The Emotions, and released their first album, So I Can Love You, the following year. The album's title track, written by Sheila, was a minor hit single, as was "The Best Part Of A Love Affair". Jeanette was married in 1970, and quit the act once she became pregnant with her first son, Chicha. She was replaced by a close friend, Theresa Davis, who was in turn replaced by another Hutchinson sister, Pamela. The following year, the Emotions released Untouched, their second album, which featured hits such as "Show Me How" and "If You Think It". By 1976 and the Sunshine and Flowers album, Jeanette had returned to the act. Sunshine and Flowers included songs such as "Baby I’m Though", "Anyway You Look At It", "Shouting Out Love", "Flowers", and "I Don’t Wanna Lose Your Love".Their association with Maurice White of Earth, Wind & Fire brought them their greatest success. With White's assistance, the Emotions released the albums Rejoice and Sunbeam in 1977 and 1978. The White-produced single "Best Of My Love" spending five weeks at number-one on the US pop chart in 1977. Jeanette left the act for the second time in 1977, to give birth to her second child, Pili, whose father is Phillip Bailey from Earth, Wind & Fire. In 1978, Jeanette returned to the act, and the group collaborated with Earth, Wind & Fire on another single, "Boogie Wonderland", which was a top 10 hit in 1979. The group continued to record together during the 1980s, and were signed briefly with Motown Records at one point. However, they were not able to repeat the success they had during the disco period.The Emotions, today comprised of Wanda, Pamela, and Sheila Hutchinson, released their final album in 1990. They continue to perform and make personal appearances. Wanda, now married, resides in Glendale, California and has three daughters, two of which plan to enter the music industry themselves. Pamela lives in Hollywood, California with her husband and daughter. Sheila still resides in Chicago, where she takes care of her mother Lillian, her youngest sister Keena, and Keena’s daughter (Joseph Hutchinson died in 1985).
