Scratch (horse)
Scratch, also known as Scratch II (foaled 1947) was a French Thoroughbred racehorse and sire best known for winning the Prix du Jockey Club and the classic St Leger Stakes in 1950. Scratch won the Solario Stakes in England as a two-year-old and emerged as one of the best of a very strong generation of French-trained colts in the following year. He won the Prix de Guiche and Prix Greffulhe in the early part of the year and then defeated the year's outstanding three-year-old colt Tantieme in the Prix du Jockey Club. In the autumn of 1950 he won the St Leger by defeating Vieux Manoir, who had beaten him in the Grand Prix de Paris. He won the Prix Jean Prat as a four-year-old before being retired to stud where he had an unremarkable record as a sire of winners in Europe and South America.
Background
Scratch was a chestnut horse with a white star and a white sock on his right hind leg bred by his owner Marcel Boussac. He was sired by Pharis, the undefeated winner of the 1939 Grand Prix de Paris. Scratch's dam Orlamonde was an unsuccessful racehorse but produced several other winners including Damno, who won the Prix d'Arenberg. Orlamonde's dam Naic was a half sister of the Prix du Jockey Club winner Ramus and also produced the Grand Prix de Deauville winner Jock. Scratch was sent into training with Charles Semblat at Chantilly.

Scratch is a visual programming language. It is currently free. Scratch is used by students, scholars, teachers, and parents to easily create games and provide a stepping stone to the more advanced world of computer programming. It can also be used for a range of educational and entertainment constructionist purposes from math and science projects, including simulations and visualizations of experiments, recording lectures with animated presentations, to social sciences animated stories, and interactive art and music. Viewing the existing projects available on the Scratch website, or modifying and testing any modification without saving it requires no online registration.
Scratch allows users to use event-driven programming with multiple active objects called sprites. Sprites can be drawn, as vector or bitmap graphics, from scratch in a simple editor that is part of Scratch, or can be imported from external sources, including webcams.

History
The idea for Face grew out of a university a cappella experience. Both Ben Lunstad and Joseph DiMasi had formed and performed with undergraduate a cappella groups. They met in grad school in 2000 at the University of Colorado in Boulder while singing with CU's In The Buff. Deciding that In The Buff wasn't exactly what they were looking for, Ben and DiMasi co-founded the award-winning Extreme Measures.

2 Face
by: Asian Dub FoundationMy ears are burning, my back has started to bleed
I've noticed you only contact me when I've got some weed
And when I'm in need to help you with something you need to do
I must have been a fool 'cause now I see the real you
You couldn't even look me in the eye
I knew something was wrong you can't justify, it's all lies
Telling me other's business and telling me how they be
Come to think about it, you could be doing it to me
The pieces of the puzzle are now fitting into place
I know what kind of person you are you're a disgrace
I don't hold a grudge even though what you did
I just can't trust you with absolutely anything
If I see you it just hi and bye keep going my way
'Cause I've got things to do, I've got bills to pay
I've had enough of your two faced company
And that's the way it's going to be
My friend, welcome to reality
Remember the times it was cold outside
Everyone said blurt but I said na come to mind
Hours and hours of blazin', feel fine
Did you think your parents would allow it at that time
I didn't think so well now you know how
It was growing up with ungrateful brothers about
It makes me wanna scream, it makes me wanna shout
Ask what I did for them and their mind blacks out
Day by day pushin' me away others them a turn
Others stayed tried to relate
To make me see I was wrong no it's too late
Back biting, street fighting it the mess that was made
Great, I spent half my life with you guys
Now you want to rush me in front of my mothers eyes
I don't know why you did it and you was high
Two face people die twice, no lie
To all them a boy them a liar, liar
With their mouths on fire, they say it's human nature
They are playing with lives, they slowly burning wire
You'd better be aware 'cause in the end you'll suffer
To all them a boy them a liar, liar
With their mouths on fire, they say it's human nature
They are playing with lives, they slowly burning wire
You'd better be aware 'cause in the end you'll suffer
2 face, two bait when it's written on your face
Two fake, too straight when your out on the estate
After all the lies you've gone and spread about me
You put on your disguise and go on like we're sweet
Who needs enemies when you've got brothers like these
They be smiling when they're with you
But you know it's full of cheese
Oh, please who else be trying to eat up our cake
Two, two, two you're 2 face
'Cause they're the masters of deception
They wanna bring you down
Your phone keeps ringing taking you for a clown
Them threats keep coming make you wanna leave town
Not before you find out who's behind this showdown
Your best friends been makin' others real mad
You're tellin' this dude everything and now it's real sad
He's rollin' with your enemies and now they seem glad
They know all they need and got their pen to the pad
So why do they do what they do against you
Fake arsed brothers you're life they want to screw
It's true when I say all they want is attention
To satisfy their needs with no consideration
To all those people who've got more than one face
You better be on your defense 'cause now we're on the case
The mace that you sprayed has been cleared from my eyes
What comes around goes around you better realize
2 face, two bait when it's written on your face
Two fake, too straight when your out on the estate
After all the lies you've gone and spread about me
You put on your disguise and go on like we're sweet
Who needs enemies when you've got brothers like these
They be smiling when they're with you
But you know it's full of cheese
Oh, please who else be trying to eat up our cake
Two, two, two you're 2 face
2 face, two bait when it's written on your face
Two fake, too straight when your out on the estate
After all the lies you've gone and spread about me
You put on your disguise and go on like we're sweet
Who needs enemies when you've got brothers like these
They be smiling when they're with you
But you know it's full of cheese
Oh, please who else be trying to eat up our cake
Two, two, two you're 2 face
They come down your home pretend to be your mate
But deep inside their souls it's just you that they hate
And whenever you were hungry you placed food on their plate
And any time they were in trouble, you always helped them escape
Indirect or direct they try to put you down
Low down, way down underground with no sound
And all the bullshit that they talk they can't just even hold down
With their mouth full of rubbish they try to spread around
2 face two bait
Two straight, man, you're too fake
Every time we come around you know we penetrate
Any time you come around we must eliminate
2 face two bait
Two straight, man, you're too fake
Every time we come around you know we penetrate
