I was hesitant with the amount of onions, but it was wonderful! Next time, I will cut back on the butter and use milk instead of the cream. I'm thinking the combination of all the ingredients with the cheese might be enough richness. Definitely will make it again.

Nowadays, online marketing through blogging has turned more complex, especially because of two factors: competition and technology.

Friday is a significant day for the family of Molly Bish, as she would have turned 30 years old.
The family laid Molly to rest 10 years ago Friday and they remain as determined as ever to find the person who killed her.
"Love is stronger than evil," said Molly's sister, Heather Bish, as she read part of an open letter from her mother. "It is our turn. We will hunt for you. we will be a shadow you can't see. Molly deserves justice."
The letter, which was released Friday, addressed the person responsible for killing Molly, who went missing in June of 2000 while working as a lifeguard at Commins Pond in Warren.
"When Molly originally disappeared, we were taken into our house for two weeks," said Bish. "So my mother never got that typical chance that many parents of missing children get, to plead for their child."
Several years later, Molly's body was found in a wooded section of Palmer.
To this day, there has been no arrest in the case. The Bish family said the letter is part of their new "Somebody Knows Something" campaign, which has allowed Molly's picture to once again reach the entire region.
"The state police have already said there is one piece of the puzzle left, to put everything together," said Bish. "So I guess we're just trying to help them obtain that piece."
To get there, Bish said the family continues to receive tremendous support from people throughout New England, which has allowed them to move forward on many fronts.
"Our love for Molly has given us the strength and courage to go out and start a foundation, advocate for child safety, educate others, and try to bring legislation forward to protect others."

Gua Sha
About Gua Sha
Gua simply means to rub or scrape. Sha refers to the blood-red millet-like skin rash. Gua Sha is an Ancient Asia healing method that originated in China in 200 BC. From China, it spread in Southeast Asian countries like Laos, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Cambodia. In Laos, it is known as Khoud Lam, Kerik in Indonesia, Cao Gio in Vietnam and Kos Khyol in Cambodia.
The maxim about this healing method is on the basis of Chinese oriental medicine theory that uses potent guides to energize the meridians. The meridians are essential as it is where energy flows in the body.
Application and Tools used for Gua Sha
Normally, Sha is evident at the Yang surface of the body – neck, shoulders, arms, back and buttocks. In some circumstances, Gua Sha is applied at the thorax and abdomen.
The spot where Gua Sha is applied has to be greased with oil. In traditional healing techniques, they used peanut oil which is quite thick. However, nowadays, some use common kinds of oil they can find around like olive oil or almond oil. The technique applies a 45 degree angle towards the spot of the body you need to scrape. The skin is scraped with a circular edged tool with downward direction. One spot is focused until the skin rash (petechiae) is totally elevated. Then the indicator is that when there is no blood statis, petechiae will not be visible and the skin will turn pinkish in color.
In ancient practice, any round-edged tool like coin, a spoon used for eating soup or a horn of a buffalo can be used when applying this healing method. These days, some practitioners prefer to use jade stone for scraping.
The therapist must make sure that the rash is going to fade in two to four days. If it does not fade within this time frame, then the therapist must focus on the area where there is blood deficiency. This is how to deal with the base of the problem.
Healing and Benefits
After the application, the client feels prompt shift of their condition. They are released from any painful constraint as Gua Sha allows movement of Qi which is essential in maintaining health. Blood circulation returns to balance as well. Fluids in the body are directed properly and metabolism process becomes normal.
With Gua Sha's healing method, there are different forms of body's ailments that are common for tedious workers like fatigue, fever, and headaches. More serious conditions like suffering brought respiratory system problems namely asthma, dyspnoea, acute bronchitis or chronic bronchitis (emphysema) are also healed. Other disorders that pertain to physical strength like injuries of muscle, joints and tendons can be eased with this healing method. It can also effectively heal myofascial pain syndrome, and stiffness of the neck or shoulders. Whether one is suffering from cold or heat stroke, this technique can used to significantly ease the pain. Problems with digestive system can be treated as well. Indeed, even urinary disease, Gua Sha can be a good tool for healing.

Sette Wide Mouth Flopak 100oz Bladder
Sette has redesigned the popular Flopak Bladder to aide in the ease of filling and cleaning purposes. It has a 3 1/2" wide-opening, and is compatible with most hydration packs. The Flopak is extremely durable and taste-free. The bite valve comes complete with a shut-off switch locking mechanism to ensure your belongings stay dry when not in use. The hose is replaceable as well as the bite-valve to allow for an unbeatable product and an unbeatable price.
I bought this since I honestly didn't want to pay 3 times as much for the camelback. So far it has been working like a charm. No complains
Normally, I find Sette products to be an incredible value. I.e. great bang for the buck. But this Sette bladder is the first time I've felt not only let down by the product, but also that the money spent was a total loss. I couldn't bring myself to pay Camelbak prices for a replacement bladder when mine had a leaking (on/off) valve that I couldn't find a new o-ring to fix. The bladder had two small holes (from me not being careful with the zipper and from a crash) but both had been patched with bike tube patches and weren't leaking. I saw the price on the Sette and thought "Hey, whole new bladder AND valve for half of just a Camelbak with only a bite valve!" But here is how the Sette sucks and why I went back to my old Camelbak bladder (though I did steal the on/off valve from the Sette). 1) The hose is about 4 - 6" too short. I can't say for sure as I have cut my Camelbak tube off the bladder more than once to clean it and each time that lost an inch. But the Sette hose is still about 3" shorter than my "circumcised" hose on the Camelbak. 2) The hose is stiff as all get out. It constantly want to go where IT wants and that always seems to be into my headphone wires. The chest clip on my camelback can't control it and I worry that in cool weather, the clip will break as I wrestle the Sette hose. 3) The ability to unscrew the hose from the bladder sounds good on paper (and actually is when it works like it does on my wife's Platypus bladder). See comments above about having to cut my original hose on my Camelbak bladder. But the Sette soaked me several times at first until I learned of its pesky ways. Wrestling the tube when the base is not VERY tight seemed to cause it to wiggle loose enough to leak all over my back (and the pad of my Camelbak, obviously). Fun! After I got crazy about checking the tightness before putting it in the pack, it wasn't a problem. Still.... 4) The lid has the same must-be-over-tightened-to-not-leak problem. It seems like the plastic seals aren't as supple as the camelbak parts. Whatever it is, they just don't seal as smoothly and consistently as the Camelbak bladder's do. 5) One bit of plastic that does seem move supple is the bladder bag itself. That is the main reason I don't like the Platypus bladders, they are stiff (albeit clear) plastic. I also do not like the crazy sealing zipper Platypus uses....but it never leaks and makes cleaning easy. But the Sette makes the Camelbak bladder look stiff. UNFORTUNATELY, it isn't strong. I now have a leak in the Sette bag after less than a season of riding. My Camelbak has easily 7 years on it. No crashes and no zipper encounters (as the leak is opposite the zipper) and the Sette leaks! I'd slap a patch on it like I did with the Camelbak BUT.. a) The platic's suppleness and texture makes me doubt it will seal like my Camelbak patch has. b) The patch would probably outlast the damn bladder. Why waste a patch. I'll keep buying Sette for many items that the namebrands simply charge too much for. But when it comes to such an important (and apparently difficult-to-manufacture-with-quality) product as my water bladder, I guess Sette isn't up to the task.
Don't buy this. Mine failed after 4 uses. Spend the ectra money for a Camelback or Osprey bladder. The extra $20 will be well spent.

As economic frustrations continue, many parents are seeing a little relief when it comes to family vacations leaving grandparents to often pick up the tab.
Nashville's Opryland Hotel is among local hotels noticing the trend.
"We've been paying attentions for 10 to 12 years now," said Jenny Barker, Director of Public Relations for Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center.
"We've seen much more multi-generational travel and part of that is the economy over the last several years."
The Ryan family is just one family participating in the trend.
Leonard Ryan and his wife, Mary, of Orange County, California, are always looking for opportunities to see their grandchildren, whose families have all migrated to less expensive parts of the country.
"We want to figure out way we can be with them a little more often."
He saw a convention in Nashville as the perfect opportunity to spend some quality time with his family.
So Ryan treated his daughter, Michelle and her two kids to a vacation
"It's a trend that's going to continue for our family," said Mary.
Michelle added, "Anytime spent with family is great."

Putney -- A child's toy car is parked on the front lawn of a Putney neighborhood. Innocent as it may seem, it's a possible target of theft, a recent issue that people who live on McKenzie Road are fed up with.
Willie Williams has lived in the area for 60 years. He remembers the neighborhood of old.
"We all looked out for each other, we knew each other. When there was a stranger or someone strange around the neighborhood, people would check into it," says Willie.
But neighbors say recently, this quiet area has experienced an increase in crime.
According to Marsha Lazenby, "In the last year we've had thefts. We've had children's bicycles stolen. They will come in the night and steal your lawn mowers and weed-eaters. We've had people walking up and down the railroad tracks."
Suspicious people coupled with increasing thefts was reason enough for Lazenby to look into the neighborhood watch program.
Neighborhood watch programs have long been established in urban areas and cities where crimes frequently occur. But for rural areas, it's important for neighborhoods to step up before crime takes over.
So Marsha passed out flyers and called neighbors, organizing the neighborhood watch program with the assistance of Dougherty County Police. She's optimistic that it will help.
"The more people we can get together, we can unite our community together. That way we can look out for one another, and that's why I tried to start it," says Lazenby
The main goal of the neighborhood watch program is to keep the community safe and build awareness. But involvement, as with any program, is key.
Lazenby stresses, "We need the participation of everybody in this town, or in this area, to help us."
A hopeful message that by bringing a neighborhood together you can keep a community safe.
The Putney Neighborhood Watch will hold an organizational meeting tomorrow night at seven at the Putney Community Center.
Dougherty County Police will be there to answer any questions.

News: Nicki Minaj To Female Critics, "I'm Showing You B*tches How To Do it"
Monday, Apr 19, 2010 5:45PM
Young Money's Nicki Minaj has delivered a personal message to her female critics and said they should be inspired by her accomplishments.
Refusing to reference any specific females, Minaj offered her opinion on why she is being targeted.
"There are some that say something positive," Nicki said in an interview. "You should be happy I'm here even though I'm showing you b*tches how to do it. But umm, I get more love than hate. So you know, it's expected when people see there's one person getting shine, it makes them feel unhappy with themselves. The small minded people feel unhappy with themselves. The intelligent girls take the things that they like from me and my journey and apply it to their journey. If I had it my way, that's what they'd all do. Everyone is not going to like Nicki Minaj. Everyone's not going to like the way I look or what I do but I think if you're smart you'd take from me and figure out why everyone is talking about me. That'd be the 'smart' thing to do. I don't think they know how to express that so they express it with anger, jealousy and hatred and that consumes them and I'm still here." (VIBE TV)
Ruff Ryders' Eve recently shared her opinion of Minaj.
"She definitely is a quirky chick. That's a good word for her," Eve said in an interview. "When she had the Freddy Krueger gloves I was like 'Wow.' But at the same time, whatever you decide to do, especially in music, you gotta go hard and own it. You can't be timid wearing Freddy Krueger gloves in a video. If you look insecure, people are going to be like 'Why are you doing that?' You gotta f*cking own it and she did. I think that's dope...Trust me, no one's competition for me and that sounds cocky but I seriously live in such an Eve world. And not in a crazy-everything-is-me-bubble, it's just that I'm bulding an empire. I go on Twitter and people say 'Yo, knock Nicki Minaj out of the box, but ultimately we're all helping each other and I'm happy seeing these chicks in the game." (VIBE)
Last month, Southern rapper Khia called out Minaj's image.
"I don't know if it's really her. Everybody knows it's me, it's Khia. I don't know if she's Nick, I don't know if she's a Barbie. I tell everybody, we don't have Barbies in the hood. Boos, there wasn't no Barbies sitting on the stoop, love who you are. Hip-Hop is supposed to be real, hip-hop is supposed to be where the real people hang and I think it's a lot of infiltrators coming in..." ("Street Disciplez Radio")
Speaking via a UStream broadcast earlier this month, Minaj said she would continue to ignore her female rap critics.
"I don't respond to stupidity because I don't have to," Minaj said in a video. "I don't need it for publicity and people that do that, they need it. You guys don't have to tell me about somebody saying some stupid negative sh*t because all these b*tches are my sons. So, I showed them how to do this. I show y'all how to do this. That's why y'all yap yap yappity yap. I hear y'all talking. That's why I occupy my time getting a green piece of paper...So pretty much, I spend so much time counting that green paper that for me to take my time out for stupid, foolish, strawberry shortcake bum b*tches that live on planet bum would almost make me as low on the totem pole as they are. You'll never hear me say your names. You'll just keep barking up that tree, and I'll keep doing what I do. In other news, I want to say though, that, you guys make hip-hop into some real clown sh*t when you feed into that." (UStream)

Why do people keep doing this? They should stop. Now. Really.
There is nothing wrong with parentheses. Lispers like them and deal with them without difficulty.
There is nothing wrong with Lisp syntax. Lispers like it and deal with it without difficulty.
There is nothing awkward about S-expressions. They are not hard to read and, really, those who find the prefix notation confusing or fail to understand its advantages should find another way to earn a living.
If you think Lisp should to be like Python, just use Python. The Lispers and Pythonistas will both be thank you.
If you're going to quote Paul Graham, don't use his words to make a point that he certainly wouldn't agree with.
Reading this over, it may seem a little harsh. Certainly Wheeler is entitled to work on any project he likes and to scratch anything that itches but I don't see the point of this project. It tries—unsuccessfully, I think—to fix things that Lispers don't see as broken and produces a syntax that starts with the clean and elegant Python and makes it ugly. Actually, I think Pythonistas should be more offended than Lispers at the result.
To paraphrase DMR, if you want Python, you know where to find it.

Carrot Apple Nut Muffins
Did you ever notice that most people love Fall flavors? People go nuts when coffee shops start serving pumpkin spice lattes. I've never met a person who didn't like the scent of an apple pie candle. Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger – who can resist? I don't know if it is the cooler weather, the beauty of Fall, or just all of the "homey", holiday memories associated with these smells and tastes, but they seem to make everyone happy. I for one am ready to go pick apples and start baking up a storm. Especially since my brain is always months ahead of the current season planning ahead for you, my lovely readers. I'm already dreaming about soups made with homemade stock, pumpkin-flavored everything, and tart cranberries and apples. But for now, I'll leave you with these muffins. And you can start dreaming of Fall too. May the temperatures catch up with us soon!

These look so yummy! Not sure if this has been covered, but can I make the batter, pour into muffin cups and freeze uncooked?
Can I use coconut oil to substitute for applesauce? I don't have applesauce on hand.
These are so delicious! We all love them and had fun making them. Thank you for sharing:)
I made these a few days ago & just want to suggest that you use the applesauce and not substitute with brown sugar like I did. They taste great, but really need the extra mosture from the applesauce.
Why the two sweetners? Wouldn't it work to just add double the first sugar and leave out the second?
How would the baking time change if I were to use individual loaf pans instead of a muffin tin? (I don't have one! Lol)
I love this recipe! I added one more apple and raisins. Delicious and healthy!
Made a double batch of these tonight! My husband and I already ate a bunch… oops! I make my own fresh apple sauce by putting a few apples in the Vitamix. So I just added the measurements for the apple sauce and grated apple together and made a chunky apple sauce instead. They aren't as sweet, but I prefer it that way.
This is my new favorite muffin recipe!!
Do you know approximately how many calories are in each muffin?

Pacem in Terris
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (April 2014)
|Pacem in Terris
(Latin: Peace on Earth)
Encyclical Letter of Pope John XXIII
|11 April 1963
|That peace between all peoples must be based on truth, justice, love and freedom
|Encyclical number
|8 of 8 of the Pontificate
|in Latin
in English
Pacem in Terris (Peace on Earth) was a papal encyclical issued by Pope John XXIII on 11 April 1963. It was the last encyclical drafted by John XXIII, who died from cancer two months after its completion.
Pacem in terris was the first encyclical that the Pope addressed to "all men of good will", rather than only to Catholics.
In this work, John XXIII reacted to the political situation in the middle of the Cold War. The "peace encyclical" was issued only two years after the erection of the Berlin Wall and only a few months after the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Pope explains in this encyclical that conflicts "should not be resolved by recourse to arms, but rather by negotiation". He further emphasizes the importance of respect of human rights as an essential consequence of the Christian understanding of men. He clearly establishes "...That every man has the right to life, to bodily integrity, and to the means which are suitable for the proper development of life..."
The document is divided into four sections.
- The first section of the encyclical establishes the relationship between individuals and humankind, encompassing the issues of human rights and moral duties.
- The second section addresses the relationship between man and state, dwelling on the collective authority of the latter.
- The third section establishes the need for equality amongst nations and the need for the state to be subject to rights and duties that the individual must abide by.
- The final section presents the need for greater relations between nations, thus resulting in collective states assisting other states. The encyclical ends with the urging of Catholics to assist non-Christians and non-Catholics in political and social aspects.
The full title of the encyclical is On Establishing Universal Peace in Truth, Justice, Charity and Liberty. The short title Pacem in Terris, is derived from the opening words (incipit) of the encyclical, as is customary with papal documents:
- Pacem in terris, quam homines universi cupidissime quovis tempore appetiverunt, condi confirmarique non posse constat, nisi ordine, quem Deus constituit, sancte servato."
- ("Peace on earth, which all men of every era have most eagerly yearned for, can be firmly established only if the order laid down by God be dutifully observed.")
In commemoration of this encyclical, the annual Pacem in Terris Peace and Freedom award was instituted in 1964, first by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Davenport and later by the Quad Cities Pacem in Terris Coalition."Pacem in Terris" (Peace on Earth) enumerated the rights of the human person to life, respect, freedom and education as well as working towards the end of nuclear weapons, and arms race.

Stanton came to the Jets to be Mark Sanchez's backup. Then, along came Tim Tebow. Less than a week after signing Stanton, the Jets traded him to the Indianapolis Colts for an undisclosed draft pick.||||||| Stanton signed a one-year, $1.25 million deal last week to back up Mark Sanchez, but became expendable when the Jets acquired Tebow from the Denver Broncos on Wednesday. After that trade, general manager Mike Tannenbaum said Tebow would be the team's No. 2 quarterback. "It's a big relief to have this over," Stanton told The Associated Press. "I'm excited about the opportunity in Indy. I can't wait to get there and get down to business."
A person familiar with the New York Jets' plans says the team is trying to trade Stanton.||||||| The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday because the team hasn't announced its plans.

Stanton didn't play last year as Detroit's third-string quarterback behind Matthew Stafford and Shaun Hill.
The New York Jets have added backup quarterback Drew Stanton with a $1.25 million, 1-year contract.

He was 2-1 as a starter in 2010 with four touchdowns, including one on the ground, and two interceptions. Stanton didn't play last year as Detroit's third-string quarterback behind Matthew Stafford and Shaun Hill. He has completed 56 percent of his passes in 12 career games, including four starts, for 1,158 yards with five TDs and nine interceptions.
Stanton completed 10 of 22 passes for 117 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Packers.||||||| Stanton has put up pedestrian numbers since taking over the starting quarterback duties in Detroit, completing 56.5 percent of his passes for 295 yards with two TDs and two picks. It is uncertain if Stanton will make another start with Matthew Stafford and Shaun Hill recovering from their injuries.

Murdered Topeka Lawyer May Have Interrupted Burglary as She Came Home from Celebrating Her Birthday
Posted Jul 22, 2011 4:50 AM CDT
By Martha Neil
A 40-year-old Kansas attorney was shot and killed and her female companion was injured when a gunman approached their vehicle as they pulled into their driveway in Topeka a little after midnight on Thursday after celebrating the lawyer's birthday.
Natalie Gibson was the city's seventh homicide victim so far this year. Until last month, she worked as a Kansas Judicial Center staff lawyer, according to the Associated Press and KTKA. She also worked for the Commission on Judicial Performance.
The articles say the two women were in the car and apparently had entered their garage when a gunman came up, demanded their belongings and opened fire. Authorities told reporters they may have interrupted a burglary. A number of garages in the area have been broken into recently.
Gibson attended Washburn University School of Law, reports the Topeka Capital-Journal.
"I had a lot of respect for her," spokesman Ron Keefover of the Kansas Supreme Court told the newspaper yesterday. "People in the building were shocked and very saddened."
Neighbor Daryl Hendrix told KTKA that Gibson was memorable for her smile and her compassion.

I am in to velvet sport coats. Wanted a grey one to go with black slacks and shirt. Wore that outfit to a surprise birthday party I arranged for my wife and was constantly told how sharp I looked. The black and white saddle shoes finshed off my look.
I have now worn this blazer twice. I wore it to a Christmas party and a night out on the town, and both times I got several compliments. I also noticed the ladies hugging me a little longer and rubbing on the blazer because it is so soft. It also stands out a lot more when you wear it with black. I highly recommend it!

Senate Republican Leader Trent Lott stepped down Friday from his spot as the U.S. Senate's Majority Leader. In a statement issued late Friday morning, Lott said in the interest of pursuing the best possible agenda for the future of our country, he will not seek to remain as majority leader. For weeks, Lott had been criticized for remarks he made during a party for retiring Senator Strom Thurmond. Remarks, some say were supportive of Thurmond's segregationist campaign for president in 1948. Some republicans we've spoken to say Lott did the right thing by stepping down.
"I really applaud him for coming to the decision that the right thing for him to do was step down," said Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R).
"I think it's good. I think it's good for the country. I think it's good for the party to be able to set this aside and get back focused on the agenda for moving America forward," said Representative Carl Isett (R).
Lott says he will continue to serve the people of Mississippi as senator. Meanwhile, Tennessee Senator Bill First is considered the front runner to fill Lott's position as majority leader.

Exclusive: "I Have No Love For The Brooklyn Nets At All, They Should Have Kept That In Jersey"
Friday, Feb 15, 2013 2:25PM
[With NBA All-Star Weekend finally here, New York Knicks fanatic Skyzoo breaks down why Spike Lee's favorite team could win a championship and why even his Brooklyn roots won't let him ride with the newly relocated Nets.]
It's New York Knicks all day. Listen, I can't stand the Nets. At all. I got a real beef with the Nets, I can't stand them. I really can't stand the Nets, man.
At the end of the day, I love the idea of the Barclays Center. I love what it did. I know the name of it like the back of my hand. I live a few minutes away from there, I could walk to Barclays in about 15 minutes on a warm day.
I love the idea of the Barclays being there [in Brooklyn] and Jay-Z being a part of it, how it's changed the area because I know that area like the back of my hand along with what used to be over there. It's like night and day to me.
But when it comes to sports, I don't have an ounce of love in my heart for the Brooklyn Nets. I wish they were in the eighth place in the Eastern Conference. I have no love for the Brooklyn Nets at all, they should have kept that in Jersey.
It's the New York Knicks everyday. Blue and orange everything. If we meet in the playoffs, we're going to stomp those guys out.
We're straight [, no trades]. I stay on top of all that stuff. I'm always looking at the injuries and the reports. We straight. I think if anything, if we were able to pick-up a Kenyon Martin or somebody who could help out a little bit with the rebounding, being that Marcus Camby is down and out, Rasheed Wallace is a little down and out.
I don't want to think about trying to trade somebody because then we might have to take someone off the roster because we're already at the max. I wouldn't mind somebody coming around like Kenyon Martin who could help with the rebounding.
I like the Kenyon Martin rumor and if we had to shake a player to get someone of that caliber, that'd be dope. Just a little bit of rebounding.
I think this is the year for us to do it because I there's a lot of people in the East who have a little bit of a lane now with Derrick Rose being hurt [on the Chicago Bulls] and Rajon Rondo being hurt [on the Boston Celtics], I think the East really opened up a little bit. I think this is the year for us.
I don't think Dwight Howard is going to stay with the Lakers and, if they can, I think the Nets are going to snatch him up and then it's going to be a little bit of a problem. Like I said, I'm blue and orange all day, so I don't care if the Nets had LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Dwight Howard, Chris Paul, it doesn't matter, I'm still riding with the Knicks.
I think this is the year for us. If there were ever a window for us to jump on and grab it, I feel this is the year.
The fanbase Skyzoo has been able to acquire stretches from the street to the workplace to high places, leading to memorable placements: "Popularity" was featured on the seventh season of the HBO hit Entourage; his music was featured in video games NBA2K11 and NBA2K12 (the first artist to be included in the franchise twice), as well as Grand Theft Auto 4: Lost and the Damned; his music has also set the tone for ESPN's KIA NBA Shootaround; and the rapper has a longstanding relationship with Brand Jordan. Skyzoo has toured with Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, Pharoahe Monch, Sean Price, and Buckshot, as well as internationally in places like China. He's collaborated with other respected artists including Pete Rock, Hi-Tek, Jake One, Flo-Rida, Maino, Little Brother, EPMD, N.O.R.E, Wale, Talib Kweli, Ace Hood, Sean Price, and Don Cannon.
