The Twelve Days of Christmas is one of the most famous Christmas carols ever written.

2012-12-17T21:12:00.000+00:00

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!
Lyrics

"The Twelve Days of Christmas" is a cumulative song, meaning that each verse is built on top of the previous verses. There are twelve verses, each describing a gift given by "my true love" on one of the twelve days of Christmas.
...and so forth, until the last verse:
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...
12 Drummers Drumming
11 Pipers Piping
10 Lords-a-Leaping
9 Ladies Dancing
8 Maids-a-Milking
7 Swans-a-Swimming
6 Geese-a-Laying
5 Gold Rings
4 Colly Birds
3 French Hens[4]
2 Turtle Doves
And a Partridge in a Pear Tree.

This version features variant lyrics, as explained below.
The time signature of this song is not constant, unlike most popular music. This irregular meter perhaps speaks for the song's folk origin. The introductory lines, such as "On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me", are made up of two 4/4 bars, while most of the lines naming gifts receive one 3/4 bar per gift with the exception of "Five gold(en) rings," which receives two 4/4 bars, "Two turtle doves" getting a 4/4 bar with "And a" on its 4th beat and "Partridge in a pear tree" getting two 4/4 bars of music. In most versions, a 4/4 bar of music immediately follows "Partridge in a pear tree." "On the" is found in that bar on the 4th (pickup) beat for the next verse. The successive bars of 3 for the gifts surrounded by bars of 4 give the song its hallmark "hurried" quality.
The second to fourth verses' melody is different from that of the fifth to twelfth verses. Before the fifth verse (when "five gold(en) rings" is first sung), the melody, using solfege, is "sol re mi fa re" for the fourth to second items, and this same melody is thereafter sung for the twelfth to sixth items. However, the melody for "four colly birds, three French hens, two turtle doves" changes from this point, differing from the way these lines were sung in the opening four verses.

A Christmas History Lesson
by: Catherine Spelling
The Twelve Days of Christmas is one of the most famous Christmas carols ever written. It has been sung for a great many years, and is known the world over. To most it is a delightful hymn, but it was originally created with a very serious intent. In England between the years of 1558 and 1829, it was illegal to practice Catholicism in public or private. It was essentially a crime to be Catholic in England during those years.

The Twelve Days of Christmas was written to help preserve the traditions of the Catholic faith during the years that Catholicism was banned in England. The song is steeped in symbolism, and the fact that it is so well known throughout the world is a testament to the faith of the followers of the Catholic doctrine. The symbols contained in the song are as follows:

1st verse – "True Love" refers to God.
2nd verse – "2 Turtle Doves" refers to the Old and New Testaments.
3rd verse – "3 French Hens" refers to Faith, Hope, and Charity.
4th verse – "4 Calling Birds" refers to the Four Gospels or the Four Evangelists.
5th verse – "5 Golden Rings" refers to the first five Books of the Old Testament.
6th verse – "6 Geese-a-laying" refers to the six days of creation.
7th verse – "7 Swans-a-swimming" refers to the seven sacraments.
8th verse – "8 Maids-a-milking" refers to the eight beatitudes.
9th verse – "9 Ladies dancing" refers to the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit.
10th verse – "10 Lords-a-leaping" refers to the Ten Commandments.
11th verse – "11 Pipers piping" refers to the eleven faithful apostles.
12th verse – "12 Drummers drumming" refers to the twelve points of the Apostle’s creed.

I love this song. It is, by far, my favorite Christmas carol. I had no idea about the symbols contained in the song, until I googled the song lyrics one afternoon. I find it very interesting that a song we all know so well could contain so many hidden meanings. I would never have guessed that it was anything more than lovely Christmas carol. It’s always nice to learn something new, especially about the wonderful celebration of Christmas. I hope you learned something, too. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

The CUBE Wii 2012

2012-12-17T13:24:00.000+00:00

I've bought The Cube as a Christmas gift for my partners kids whom are 8 and 10 and are big fans of the show. After having a go I think that it'll be perfect for them at that age and I would say it's good from 8 and upwards.

It is as exact as it could be in my opinion and a direct copy of the show. You compete in a series of challenges (from 33 possible) in order to win up to £250,000 as you would in the show. You start with 9 lives and lose one each time you fail a challenge. You can take a trial run and simplify too. All the controls are dead easy to use and are basically just the A,B, up, down, left and right.

You can choose Single Player mode in which you just try to complete challenges that The Cube has set for you.

Multiplayer mode where you can go up against another person in a few different types of game.

There's 'sprint' in which the screen splits and you play simultaneously non stop in the same games and the first to finish five challenges is the winner. We loved this version, quite nerve wracking when you can see your challenger getting ahead and leaving you in their wake! Although the games are the same as you play side by side, they are slightly different so you won't be able to copy/watch the other persons screen to see what to do! No cheating allowed!

There's 'head to head' in which The Cube chooses seven random games and you take turns to compete and there are no trail runs or simplifies. There is only one life for each game, so you either pass or. . .fail!

Lastly there's 'challenge mode' which is a team event in which members take turns to perform the same challenge and start with nine lives as in the single player game. But more people can have a go here, quite fun.

In game play it does actually look like you're in the cube and all the colours are spot on such as the red balls and cubes that are used in the throwing challenges and the floor works brilliantly too for the challenges where blocks or pathways appear and you have to count or memorize them within ten seconds. Also just as in The Cube the floor turns green or red whether you've passed or failed and with the proper music from the show this all adds to the challenging atmosphere. The motion sensing is spot on too and it does react to how hard or light you perform the tasks.

Before each challenge is performed 'The Body' which is that person all in white with a white helmet on, performs the challenge correctly to show you how it's done! This is the actual video footage from the show and not a computer animation.

A few of the challenges we've had a go at are. . .

- Drop Shot
- Pulse
- Memory Flash
- Stop Zone
- Descent
- Totalize
- Reflex
- Vault
- Succession
- Time Split
- Velocity
- Revolution
- Quantity
- Time Freeze

There are 33 in total but I won't spoil it for you and describe them all.

It also goes into slow motion as you're playing sometimes if you've got a perfect shot or. . .just missed by a whisker!

So to sum it up its a great family game which has loads of replay ability and will have everyone "ooing" and "ahhing". My kids liked it and they're 14 and 20 and I liked it too.

A Nintendo Wii Games List For The 4th Quarter

2012-12-17T12:29:00.003+00:00

In marketing, the 4th quarter of the year is known as the time when people are in the holiday mode, a state of mind that makes them more susceptible to buying particular things. Hence, companies release their biggest products during these last 3 months of the year because the holiday mode will provide a product the biggest chance of becoming a commercial success. Video games are no exception. For most gamers, the 4th quarter of every year is the most exciting. This is the period when the big video game companies release their big time titles. And for the 4th quarter of 2012, big titles are in store for the highest selling video game console of this generation: the Nintendo Wii. Looking for a Nintendo Wii games list of the biggest titles coming this year? Look no further. Below are the 10 of the most anticipated video games for the said console. Remember, if its not in this Nintendo Wii games list, its not destined to be a memorable title. 1. Wii Sports Resort. Finally, a sequel to the game that ALL Wii owners have. Wii Sports Resort will feature more activities like basketball and skydiving, and will be the first to actually require the new Wii MotionPlus controller. 2. Muramasa: Demon Blade. One of the most heralded titles in this Nintendo Wii games list. Remember Odin Sphere? This game is presented the same way, albeit, with prettier graphics, bigger baddies, and a more engrossing story. 3. Dead Space: Extraction. This is not a port of the sleeper hit of 2008. Dead Space: Extraction will do for the franchise what Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles did for its mother series. Thats right! A new story behind the story, presented via a rail gun action game. 4. Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Winter Games. Just the mandatory Mario and Sonic crossover for a worldwide sporting event. 5. The Biggest Loser. The one and only video game adaptation of the hit weight loss reality show. The game will involve the original hosts, Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper, and the activities that the game will demand will make good use of the Nintendo Wiis unique peripherals, i.e. the Wiimote and the balance board. This promises to be the most unique title in this Nintendo Wii games list. 6. We Cheer 2. The unlikeliest entry in this Nintendo Wii games list. Using the Wiimote and nunchuck as physical representations of digital pompoms may sound weird, but it was fun enough for the original that it merited this equally enjoyable sequel. 7. Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles. The sequel to Umbrella Chronicles promises more of the same rail gun action we have come to love (or hate). Discover more secrets behind the stories revealed in the main Resident Evil series by visiting the scenarios presented by this game. 8. New Super Mario Bros. Wii. The most anticipated title in this Nintendo Wii games list. The new installment of the legendary platformer will include 4-player coop mode. No online support, however, and 4 Wiimotes will be required. 9. Sadness. An atmospheric adventure game, Sadness is the Wiis answer to the Playstation 3s Heavy Rain. Rendered entirely in black and white, do not expect an experience like Mad World. Sadness is a dark, dark game that promises to enchant you. 10. Little King Story. A god game with a twist. Follow the adventures of a child king as he wanders the land to amass some loyal servants and increase his reputation and following. A lovechild of an RTS and an action game is the best way to describe this entry in our Nintendo Wii games list. THE CUBE NINTENDO WII (2012)

PSP Pirated Homebrews

2012-11-17T22:14:00.001+00:00

Will An Official PSP Update For Your Firmware Ruin Your Homebrews

Most Sony Play station Portable owners are familiar with the term custom firmware. Sony officials will be quick to label such as a weapon used by pirates for their illegal activities. However, most Sony PSP owners consider such a firmware as a tool of liberation, one that bypasses Sony's restrictive and sometimes counter progressive security checks that hinder the Sony PSP from reaching its full potential as a multimedia machine.

Sounds confusing?

Let's take a closer look at the subject at hand.

Sony often releases PSP updates that upgrade the firmware of the system. Firmware must be updated regularly so that the PSP unit itself will be able to cope up with the demands of newer games demands which become more and more complicated as the years go by.

Sony, however, also uses these PSP updates to install security checks in the system. The company deems this as necessary because of the way PSP piracy is carried out, i.e. reducing UMD's into digital files that can be stored in memory cards and read by the PSP unit as it would read a downloaded demo.

Hence, if official PSP updates are installed in the unit, that unit will not be able to play pirated games.

If only pirated games were affected, then everything will be alright. Unfortunately, official PSP updates also read and consider homebrewed programs as pirated games, hence blocking the PSP from playing them. Homebrewed programs are games and utilities developed by players, like you and me, who have mastered or are learning to master programming for the Sony PSP. Homebrews are perfectly legal as they don't trample on anyone's intellectual property rights. Homebrews, in fact, extend the value of the Sony PSP by adding for free some functions that it wasn't even designed to perform.

Sadly, official Sony PSP updates treat homebrews as illegal, much like pirated games.

Enter custom PSP updates, or custom firmware as they are more popularly known.

Custom PSP updates mimic official PSP firmware, without the layers of security checks. Hence, when a custom PSP update is installed, your unit will be able to perform the extended functionallities made possible by the official firmware it corresponds to. However, you can still enjoy the software programs developed by the members of the PSP's dedicated homebrew community.

There is a custom firmware for every major PSP update release. Installing these custom PSP updates is very easy and detailed instructions abound on the net. These custom PSP updates even allow users to switch from custom firmware to official firmware very easily. This is necessary because while the PSP is using custom firmware, it won't be able to play UMD games.

The only downside when it comes to using custom PSP updates? Sony will not honor your warranty, assuming that your warranty is still valid.

Do you have any comment?  Anything to add for the love og the community!
