With Lil Wayne's long-awaited Tha Carter IV finally in stores, Young Money president Mack Maine reveals how unfazed Weezy is about the LP selling as many opening week copies as its predecessor.
Although Carter III sold over a million copies in its opening summer 2008 week, Maine is not expecting the new LP to have similar initial results
"[Wayne] actually told us if he don't do those same numbers again as C3 don't be mad," Mack admitted. "I said this before — I told Nicki [Minaj] — she was kinda nervous about her first-week sales — I said, 'First week sales don't matter.' I'd rather my final sales matter. I know albums from Juvenile 400 Degreez to [Justin] Beiber's first album sold 20, or 30,000 the first-week and went onto sell 2 million one album then 6 million on another album. I saw [Lady] Gaga did the 99 cent thing [and] then [her] second-week it did like 175,000. Congratulation as it relates to her. With Wayne, I don't want him to sell a million the first-week, [and] then drop to 100,000 the next week then 50,00 the following week. I'd rather sell ten times platinum total." (XXL Mag)
Prior to her now-platinum Pink Friday debut, Maine previously revealed Nicki Minaj's sales fears.
"She was worrying about first week. She was like, 'Drake sold [463,000]. What you think I'ma sell? As if she gon' sell less," recalls Maine. "I explained to her, 'You know a lot of the press and the media really got it brainwashed with first week sales.' Bieber went on to sell 2 million and Bieber might have only sold 17,000 the first week. Juvenile sold like 30,000 his first week of 400 Degreez and went on to sell 6 million…I don't know what happened to working the record and making sure that the artist reaches a certain point. I rather the end number be higher than the beginning. These days, it's all about: Let me do 500,000, a million the first week. Don't get caught up in what Wayne did. You don't want your pinnacle to be your first-week sales. Then everything's downhill from there and then what? I don't care if you sell 10 the first week and you go on to sell 5 million–we did better than the person that sold 300 the first week." (VIBE)
Last week, Cash Money Records co-owner Birdman said two million copies have been shipped in preparation for Wayne's first week.
Cash Money delivered Carter IV to Universal about 10 days in advance, which Williams says was necessary to press the two million units being shipped in its first week. "The goal is to sell a million-plus copies," he explains. Although that's likely what led to Carter IV breaking free, Williams says he's actually OK with leaks, to a point. "I can deal with it for short period of time," he says. It's when you have a leak out for a long time that it's crazy." (Rolling Stone)
Young Money's Gudda Gudda recently spoke to SOHH about the LP living up to 2008's Tha Carter III.
"I think it's going to be big and I'm not just saying that because he's my homie," Gudda Gudda told SOHH when asked about the delayed project. "I'm just being honest. I think it's going to be big and it can match up to what Tha Carter III did. The expectations are really big and it's going to be really big for hip-hop when it finally comes out." (SOHH)

Dermatomyositis and metastatic lung adenocarcinoma first presenting as calcinosis cutis.
ABSTRACT Calcinosis cutis is a rare complication of adult dermatomyositis. The authors report a case of dystrophic calcinosis cutis that ultimately led to the diagnosis of dermatomyositis and metastatic lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Deposition of calcium salts in the skin and subcutaneous tissue occurs in a variety of rheumatic diseases, being most commonly associated with scleroderma, CREST (calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, esophageal dysfunction, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasia), dermatomyositis, and overlap syndromes but is a rare complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Calcinosis is classified into four subsets: dystrophic, metastatic, idiopathic, or calciphylaxis/iatrogenic. The pathophysiology of calcinosis cutis remains unclear. Our patient developed extensive areas of calcifications in the trunk and extremities (calcinosis universalis) 8 years after SLE diagnosis, which would correspond to a form of dystrophic calcification. No response was observed after treatment with oral diltiazem for 3 months. We review the literature on the pathogenesis and prevalence of calcinosis universalis in SLE.Clinical Rheumatology 03/2006; 25(1):70-4. · 2.04 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Calcinosis cutis, the deposition of calcium in the dermis, can be dystrophic, metastatic, iatrogenic, or idiopathic. Here, we describe a case of iatrogenic calcinosis cutis secondary to extravasation of an intravenous calcium-containing solution in a child. We also review the literature regarding the pathogenic mechanisms involved in the development of calcinosis cutis after extravasation injuries. While iatrogenic calcinosis cutis is generally a benign entity, it is important to recognize its unique clinical and histopathologic presentation to avoid complications from misdiagnosis.Journal of Cutaneous Pathology 10/2006; 33 Suppl 2:60-2. · 1.77 Impact Factor

Calcinosis cutis is a condition involving the deposition of
insoluble calcium salts in the skin. It is classified into four
etiological categories: dystrophic, metastatic, idiopathic,
and iatrogenic.1
Dystrophic CC is typically found in association with
connective tissue disease.2Dystrophic CC is a relatively
common complication in juvenile dermatomyositis; however,
it is relatively rare in adults with dermatomyositis.3
Dystrophic CC occurs when calcium deposits in damaged or
inflamed connective tissue in the setting of normal calcium
and phosphate metabolism.4
mechanism of CC is unknown. However, a current theory
suggests the release of calcium from mitochondria of the
damaged muscle cells
Alternatively, inorganic ions, abnormal collagen, elastin, or
subcutaneous fat at the site of tissue damage may serve as a
nidus for dystrophic calcification.6In adults, the cutaneous
lesions of CC often present as firm dermal or subcutaneous
papules or nodules around sites susceptible to repetitive
trauma, such as elbows, knees, buttocks, and hands.4
Complications of dystrophic calcification include pain,
cosmetic disfigurement, ulceration with infection, impaired
activities of daily living, and mechanical compromise.4
Because CC has an insidious onset, early diagnosis
frequently evades the clinician. In children, delayed
diagnosis of dermatomyositis may increase the risk of

Effective treatment of dystrophic CC has not been
studied in controlled clinical trials. However, there are
reports suggesting potential benefits of agents including
bisphosphonates, probenecid,
aluminum hydroxide, colchicine, and diltiazem.1,5There
are also few cases of spontaneous regression of the
In the patient described in this case, further investigation

I used to put this mascara all the time when I bought it first time then I don't know what happened but it didn't look any good on me after I purchased it for the second time. First time I bought it (when it got out), it was great. It added length and the lashes seemed thicker. The second time when I bought it, it smelled awfully. It did add the length but not the extra volume. I just don't understand why. Did they change it somehow??
It's great that you can remove it with warm water and that it doesn't smudge. Also it really adds length. So I guess it's fine if you have thick lashes...
I discovered other mascaras that are better so the ''no-smudge'' thing is not good enough for me to convince to purchase it again.
At first I really liked this product and I used it religiously for 6 months, but despite the pros of the product I felt like there were better mascaras out there.
-doesn't smudge under the eyes
-really easy to wash off
-adds length
-The second tube I bought had a really strong chemical smell that was pretty off putting and made me stop using it. I can't remember the smell being that strong with the first tube I used but I'm not sure.
-Despite lengthening my lashes, it didn't really hold a curl well and had a tendency to clump on my lashes.
I think this is a solid product and would work really well for some people, but it just wasn't HG for me so I moved on to other mascaras.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Tubing mascaras make me a little nervous, because I'm never quite sure if it's my actual lashes coming off during removal or just the tubes. With that being said, I remember using this mascara a few years ago with success.
Weighs down my lashes terribly, even after I curl them. I use them only on my bottom lashes for this reason.
This is the only mascara that doesn't smudge on my eyes. I have monolids so it's hard to choose a mascara for puffy eyelids. I've tried so many mascaras, from drugstore to high end but those mascaras smudge on me like crazy! I usually look like a panda after applying mascara. But this mascara was different. It stays for so many hours and i doesn't smudge at all! One day i was so tired and i slept without removing my make up. And guess what, in the next morning the mascara wasn't smudges on my under eye area. Also it's very easy to remove it, you don't need any make up removers just warm warm and cotton pad is all you will need to remove this. It makes my lashes look longer but it doesn't make them look thick but it's okay for me. I definitely recommend this to girls who have problems with mascara smudging.

Ok, so here's the deal. If you want a mascara that will deliver long lashes without flaking or smudging, do yourself a favor and go out and buy this gem. I have been buying this product for the past 2 years and it has yet to fail me. It creates a fake lashes look, which is something that I adore. Word of advice: When removing this mascara, you must use warm water. Soak your face (or eyes) with warm water for about 30 seconds and viola! It will literally come off like butter. Oh, and when applying this mascara, do not wait for the primer (the white side) to dry!! Must apply the mascara immediately after to get the best results.

If you suffer from mascara raccoon eyes problem, you GOTTA give this a try! I have oily skin, been battle with the mascara smudging issue for years, tried many many brands of mascara, nothing come close to solving the problem. Mascara usually all under my eye after maybe 30 mins or so. Which doesn't help especially i ALREADY have dark circles. Every time i use mascara, a few hours later someone will tell me to "get more sleep" and i look "so tired". To that point that i gave up using mascara entirely. Recently i came across a blog post from a lady who experienced the exact problem i have, and she highly recommend this L'Oreal Beauty Tubes, I was skeptical at first, but after one try, i know my life is changed! It stayed on ALL day, no smudge, no raccoon eyes, no nothing. Not to mentions it extended the length of my lashes at least 1/3! This stuff is amazing! I highly recommend this to ladies who have the same smudging issue i had, this stuff is god send for us!
One reminder, this stuff dry very quickly, especially the primer. One it dries, it is very difficult to put the mascara on. I suggest you to do one eye at a time. Put primer on one eye, immediately put the mascara on top of it. Then do the other side. If you put primer on both side and slowly put mascara on, the other side will all dry up and the mascara will become clumpy. So the trip is, apply one by one, and do it quickly.

Hands down, the best mascara I have ever tried! I wish they sold the white primer separately however, because my favourite mascara to put on top is a cheapy by NYC Skyrise! I am not the biggest fan of the black mascara on the other end though...but it's still good.
This mascara washes off like a dream as well...I just hold a cotton pad with eye makeup remover on it over my lashes for about 15 seconds then I swipe down...the mascara comes off in little tubes! :)

Oh my goodness. I love this mascara!!! As a girl still going to school, I'm not allowed to wear makeup because of the chemicals in makeup remover (and you need to take all of it off). I usually just wear makeup for play and shows, but my friend bought me this after raving about it at school. I love it and will never stop wearing it. It makes my lashes (and others because my friends tried it) extremely long (and I'm asian). Because I'm asian, it made my friends lashes look way better than mine, but this is still the best for me. I never use makeup remover, an I'm allowed to wear this every day. In the shower or using some soaking wet tissues, I wet my eyes and before pulling the strands/tubes off, I let them get soaked first to let them come off easily. Then I gently pull them off and it's so easy. My lashes are so soft and the threads are so soft and squishy. I love this and will never turn back!!!!!!!!!! I strongly recommend this for anyone who doesn't wear anything but mascara. My lashes are longer than normal asian lashes thanks to my constant routine of putting Vaseline on with a mascara wand every night and morning. Since I've been doing this routine for a while and I curl my lashes with eye covers, my lashes are amazing with this mascara. The primer thickens considerably. Another thing is that this is great for travel because there's no makeup remover for planes. This is water resistant, so rain won't smudge this. In fact, this mascara practically CAN'T SMUDGE AND CAN'T FLAKE!!!!!! It's amazing. I made all my friends try this because their parents can't be mad (no makeup remover and most wear makeup anyways) and some have extreme lashes (dentists ask if they're wearing fake eyelashes) and some have short lashes(blonde and short so you can't see them). They all loved it so much and were raving about how it came off easily at night, curled their lashes so much without using a curler, and how it was amazing at lengthening!!!!!!! Buy this if you have a few extra dollar!
The tubes are a cool effect, and thickens noticeably, but will not hold a curl gracefully on my straight Asian lashes. I've tried it with my Shu curler and even the beautiful curl i get with my Japonesque pocket curler, and both times the white primer goes on and it's still curled, but once I apply the black tubes, it falls flat. As a last resort, I put my Shiseido nourishing base under it for my left eye, and this time the curl held! And the volume was 2x or 3x that of my right eye with only L'Oreal on it! However with the black tubes on it just looked like a tangled, crooked hot mess. If my Shiseido base can't save you, my dear, then I'm never using you again.
I'm sure this could be great for someone with curly lashes, but for my straight ones it just will not do.

Book offers transition strategies for new government leaders
Going from business to government is like going from the minor to major leagues in professional sports, said Roy Ash, a former director of the Office of Management and Budget. Based on that analogy, the authors of "The First 90 Days in Government: Critical Success Strategies for New Public Managers at All Levels" suggest that leading change in public organizations is inherently more difficult than doing the same in businesses.
The principal authors are management consultants Peter Daly and Michael Watkins. Daly was director of the Treasury Department's Bureau of Printing and Engraving from 1988 to 1995. Their purpose in writing the book was to help ease the transition challenges of public leadership.
Daly and Watkins point out that more than 250,000 public-sector employees in the United States step into new leadership roles every year. The authors believe that most leadership failures are not caused by poor leaders but rather by a mismatch between an organization and an individual leader. A new leader's strengths and weaknesses may not fit the organization's challenges and opportunities.
The book offers strategies to help public officials accurately assess the organizations they lead and suggests ways they can deal with their strengths and weaknesses for leading in those circumstances.
The authors recommend that public leaders follow a nine-step transition plan in which they build a productive relationship with their new boss, assess the situation at the agency to discover its challenges and opportunities, and systematically decide what they need to learn and how they can learn it most efficiently.
In the first 90 days, they must translate their new bosses' expectations into goals that they can accomplish by the end of their first year. They must select a team of people with the right skills to help them during the transition and create alliances with people outside the agency's reporting hierarchy who will be essential to their success.
Finally, new government leaders must create an organization that can fulfill its mission. They must learn about the most common leadership mistakes and how to avoid them, and they must manage themselves by working hard to maintain equilibrium and preserve their ability to make good decisions.
Daly and Watkins argue that government leaders typically enter one of four situations when they take on a new leadership role. For example, they might need to sustain a successful organization or realign an organization because of changing politics or public policies. Those organizational circumstances pose moderate or low risks for new leaders. High-risk situations are less common in government, but they do exist. In those situations, leaders must turn around a troubled agency or, in rare instances, lead a newly created agency.
The authors believe that government leaders should initiate five conversations with their new bosses. One conversation should be about how the boss views the situation at the agency. Does it need to be realigned, or does it require something more risky — such as a complete turnaround?
Public leaders should engage their new bosses in conversations about expectations, how their bosses prefer to communicate — face-to-face or via e-mail messages, voice mail and memos — and the resources they need to succeed. What, for example, are their new bosses' short-term, intermediate and long-term expectations?
Finally, public leaders should talk to their new bosses about personal development. They should ask whether formal training courses are available that could improve their chances of leadership success.
"We found the most common cause for transition failures among new leaders of government programs to be misreading the situation they face in their new assignments," the authors wrote.
A last thought from Daly and Watkins would inspire any public leader to work hard during those first 90 days. "Above all," they wrote, "a new leader wants to avoid early losses because once the tide begins running against you, it is tough to recover."

"almost too much!"
This was a great listen, even though I frequently found myself groaning "oh no" when one more thing went wrong. The situations and characters were so well drawn, and the beauty shone through constantly in spite of the difficult situations. The narration is excellent, and the whole book very satisfying. Worth listening through the rough moments!

Great location, 2 minutes to the lake and great restaurants. Large comfortable room, spotlessly clean, excellent breakfast and lovely hosts.
The location was a great place as it was the 1st time in the lakes.The hotel itself was so friendly couldnt knock anythink and would stay there again enjoyed everythink about the place
it all
going home
The cooked breakfast could have included a bit more. However we thoroughly enjoyed our stay
We liked the room that we were allocated the veiw was superb the breakfast was good and plenty of it.
the only critisisum would be that the toilet was cramped and you had to lock the door on the outside to stop it opening into the room
Stayed here a number of times ,always a friendly welcome, comfortable well appointed rooms with all mod cons and great location for amenities.Must also mention excellent breakfast in spacious surroundings
The room (basic double) was great Very comfortable and clean Breakfast lovely Proprietors and staff very friendly and helpful Dog friendly
Mouldy shower Sloping bed
On booking, I was impressed by the caring attitude of our hosts, Graeme & Shirley, who also posted an email of confirmation. They also attached travelling and stay details which made it easier for us to plan ahead. Their care last through the whole of our stay. Graeme even kindly took over the task of disposing of my old suitcase which I had to replace when the handle came off on our arrival. The guest house is in a very good location, hardly a three minute walk from the lakeshore at Bowness. It is nice, homely and clean. The breakfast is good, and you even have the continental option if, like me, you enjoy the English breakfast but find it too heavy to have it on a daily basis.
The guest house is located on a relatively "busy" road in one of the busiest areas of the lake district and there is hardly any space to pull up a small car on the side of the road to unload the luggage. All said, Virginia Cottage guests have free use of the car park which is a 2-minute walk up the road (but which can be very crowded during the week-end).
Convenience to the lake and shops and restaurants Comfortable bed and lovely refurbished bathroom Sherry and lovely homemade biscuits in the lounge and in our room was a nice touch Very nice breakfast
Nothing to dislike
Very comfortable 4 poster bed in a half panelled room with an excellent view across the town to the distant fells
can't think of anything that would fit into this category
Great location Clean & tidy Dog friendly Delicious breakfast Large room, tastefully decorated Parking provided
Entrance direct onto main road No garden for doggie breaks Quite noisy from road if room at front of house
Central location, friendly welcome and nice comfortable room. Good choice for breakfast. Recommended.
Everything very good.
Good breakfast clean and comfortable. I couldnt get the Internet to work
location room facilities at the spa
only negative shower didn't work properly (but everything else flawless)
The beautiful scenery of lake Windermere, the lovely shops and close proximity of everything. Beautiful stay and lovely people.
Extra touches provided by the hosts.The breakfasts were excellent as was the cleanliness of this B & B.
Nothing about this establishment to dislike
Owners very pleasant and helpful. Accommodation excellent and the breakfast superb! Central location with parking close by.
Nothing to dislike!
No problems
Could not fault anything
Location was fantastic. The building is a period property and full of charm. The room very tastefully furnished and comfortable. Breakfast was one of the best we have had with good quality produce obviously used.
Room overlooked road and slight noise outside on Friday and Saturday night but only minor problem. I am a light sleeper. Husband didn't hear a thing!!!
The facilities were excellent. Home made biscuits with the tea, coffee, etc. Fridge for use if desired. Well positioned to the little shops and we were warmly welcomed by Graeme. Good choice for breakfast and we were asked if we wished more tea or toast. Fantastic power shower and toiletries.
There were an awful lot of steps to get to our room. I have had a knee replacement and there were stairs to enter, stairs to the dining room and our bedroom. However it just meant I had to take my time and it was O.K.
Staff Location Accommodation Breakfast
Location, nearby parking, breakfast, welcoming hosts, lovely room , cleanliness
Excellent breakfast and service. We will definitely stay here again, next time we visit the Lakes.
The room we stayed in, Room 3, is rather cramped and next time we would choose a larger room.

Scanning very old letter circa 1876

I have a very old Family letter that has come into my possession and I can just about discern the writing. What I would like to know, if anyone has the answer, is how to enhance it in Photoshop after scanning.
Any recommendations would be appreciated. I could just about read it and reproduce in Word but I am anxious to retain the authenticity of an historical hand written letter.

Before trying to enhance it in Photoshop, make a Copy to practice on.
You may be able to make it more legible using just the Scanner software.

I have found that very old documents can be made surprisingly legible by simply whacking up the contrast in Photoshop (). There are many examples of documents in the First World War Soldiers records, - see Ancestry.co.uk, which have been damaged and become very difficult to make out. On several occasions I have been able to recover illegible details simply by massively boosting the contrast on the scanned document.

Try emnic's suggestion. The same method has worked for me on more than one occasion.

George Edwards Brown
|This article may be expanded with text translated from the corresponding article in the Spanish Wikipedia. (December 2011)
Click [show] on the right to read important instructions before translating.
George Edwards Brown (1780–1848) was a Chilean businessman.
George Edwards was the son of a carpenter John Edwards and his wife Elizabeth Brown, as stated in his baptism certificate in the parish of Saint Leonard's of London.
George "Jorge" Edwards Brown was a Welsh sailor who later lived and served in Chile. He was the founder and patriarch of the Edwards family in Chile.
He sailed from a young age in British ships engaged in trade and privateering or looting. He travelled across Spanish South America visiting Chile for the first time in 1797. It was not until 1804 that his name could be inscribed in the history of Chile. The previous year he had enlisted as a surgeon in the British raider "Blackhouse" or "Bacar" who were dedicated to looting and plundering ships and ports in the Spanish colonies in South America. During this trip, Bacar anchored in the bay of Coquimbo and then taken by assault the city which was unguarded.
During the sack of the city Jorge Edwards entered the house of Diego de Ossandón to steal, but he found his daughter, Isabel de Ossandón, who he fell in love with immediately. He decided to desert the ship and asking for shelter in the house of Diego Ossandón. Family tradition says that when Edwards did not return to the British ship, they spent three days looking for him through all the houses in the city. Edwards hid for three days, hiding in a barrel of wine from his former shipmates. On the third day Spanish reinforcements arrived, forcing the British to retreat from the city, to continue their raids to the north. Once the Spanish authorities were aware of the presence of Edwards in La Serena, he was arrested and sent to Callao, where he was detained.
Once released he returned to La Serena in 1805 he was baptized into the Catholic faith. The baptism certificate recognizes that parents are Juan Eduardos (John Edwards) and Isabel Pardo (Elizabeth Brown), Spanish forms of their Welsh and English names respectively.
After that he went to work as a doctor and surgeon for some years, but quickly became the enabler or lender of small miners in the area of Coquimbo, which allowed him to build a small fortune after 10 years. His distinctly anti-Spanish feelings made him a supporter of the patriot cause during the Chilean Wars of Independence, making donations to build the fleet for the liberation of Peru, commanded by a fellow Brit, Lord Thomas Cochrane.
The Supreme Director of Chile, Bernardo O'Higgins granted Edwards Chilean citizenship papers in 1818 as a reward for his services to the Independence cause. He was appointed Deputy for Huasco in 1822. He was President of the Provincial Assembly of Coquimbo in 1825, Deputy for Andacollo in 1826 and Deputy of Vallenar in 1834.
Jorge Edwards married his first wife Isabel Ossandón Iribarren in 1807, with which he had 8 children, including Agustín Edwards Ossandón. Widowed in 1834, he married his second wife Ventura Argandoña Subercaseaux, with whom he had children.
