Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. (born September 27, 1982), known by his stage name Lil Wayne, is an American rapper from New Orleans, Louisiana. In 1991, at the age of nine, Lil Wayne joined Cash Money Records as the youngest member of the label, and half of the duo The B.G.'z, alongside fellow New Orleans-based rapper Lil' Doogie. In 1996, Lil Wayne formed the Southern hip hop group Hot Boys, with his Cash Money label-mates Juvenile, Young Turk and Lil' Doogie (who now went by B.G.). Hot Boys debuted with Get It How U Live! that same year. Lil Wayne gained most of his success with the group's major selling album Guerrilla Warfare (1999). Along with being the flagship artist of Cash Money Records, Lil Wayne is also the chief executive officer (CEO) of his own imprint, Young Money Entertainment, which he founded in 2005.
Lil Wayne's debut studio album Tha Block Is Hot (1999), was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). His following albums, Lights Out (2000) and 500 Degreez (2002), were certified gold. He reached higher popularity with Tha Carter (2004), which was led by the single "Go D.J.", also appearing on Destiny's Child's top ten single "Soldier", that same year. The album was followed by Tha Carter II (2005) and several mixtapes and collaborations throughout 2006 and 2007. Tha Carter III (2008) became Lil Wayne's most successful album to date, with first-week sales of over 1 million copies in the United States. It included the number-one single "Lollipop", as well as "A Milli" and "Got Money", and won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album.
Hip hop is a broad conglomerate of artistic forms that originated within a marginalized subculture in the South Bronx amongst black and Latino youth during the 1970s in New York City. It is characterized by four distinct elements, all of which represent the different manifestations of the culture: rap music (oral), turntablism or "DJing" (aural), breaking (physical) and graffiti art (visual). Despite their contrasting methods of execution, they find unity in their common association to the poverty and violence underlying the historical context that birthed the culture. It was as a means of providing a reactionary outlet from such urban hardship that "Hip Hop" initially functioned, a form of self-expression that could reflect upon, proclaim an alternative to, try and challenge or merely evoke the mood of the circumstances of such an environment. Even while it continues in contemporary history to develop globally in a flourishing myriad of diverse styles, these foundational elements provide stability and coherence to the culture. The term is frequently used mistakenly to refer in a confining fashion to the mere practice of rap music.
The origin of the culture stems from the block parties of the Ghetto Brothers when they would plug the amps for their instruments and speakers into the lampposts on 163rd Street and Prospect Avenue and DJ Kool Herc at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue, where Herc would mix samples of existing records with his own shouts to the crowd and dancers. Kool Herc is credited as the "father" of Hip hop. DJ Afrika Bambaataa of the hip hop collective Zulu Nation outlined the pillars of hip hop culture, to which he coined the terms: MCing, DJing, B-boying and graffiti writing.
In general, American music may refer to music of the Americas or music of the United States.
Specifically, American Music can refer to:
Lil Wayne has released several music videos, working with many directors, as well as featuring in many other artists music videos as well. Before Lil Wayne went to jail he shot 20 to 30 music videos to keep his fans interested in his music.
The term crime does not, in modern times, have any simple and universally accepted definition, but one definition is that a crime, also called an offence or a criminal offence, is an act harmful not only to some individual, but also to the community or the state (a public wrong). Such acts are forbidden and punishable by law.
In journalism, a human interest story is a feature story that discusses a person or people in an emotional way. It presents people and their problems, concerns, or achievements in a way that brings about interest, sympathy or motivation in the reader or viewer.
Human interest stories may be "the story behind the story" about an event, organization, or otherwise faceless historical happening, such as about the life of an individual soldier during wartime, an interview with a survivor of a natural disaster, a random act of kindness or profile of someone known for a career achievement.

Di Maria expects new role
09 Aug 2010 - 15:45:19
Real Madrid winger Angel Di Maria is expecting to play in a more offensive role than he did at former club Benfica.
The Argentina international made the big-money move from the Portuguese outfit earlier this summer and, after excelling on the left wing, the 22-year-old is bracing himself for a role in attack.
Speaking to Marca, he said: "I think that here I'll play a bit more up front, something different from what I did at Benfica, but I'll get used to the new position.
"I always like to go forward, to take risks. I'm not afraid of anything and that's what brought me here."

It takes a strong woman to suppress the sexual inclinations of a man and his erection, but if anyone can do it it's the Glam Bitches. Gussied up in latex catsuits, leather dresses, and the highest, skinniest heels available, these dominating vixens trample over the men who so desperately seek their approval, crushing their balls and bruising their egos all the way. Comfortably at home on Fetish Network, Glam Bitches aims to make the best of its uniquely abusive content, but it hasn't yet reached a satisfactory size, leaving fans wanting more, more, more.
You've got a nylon fetish, don't you? Well, if you've never found yourself hiding a pair of your ladyfriend's pantyhose after "accidentally" letting them get in the way of a furious masturbation session, you're likely unfamiliar with the many forms of fetishistic nylon hiding, acts about which Hide Nylons seeks to enlighten you. Starring gorgeous European girls who remove their hose only to work it into their most delectable orifice, give it a moist squeeze or two, then slowly pull it out for your kinky fetishistic entertainment. Sounds like a hoot, right? Well, there's more to Hide Nylons than meets the eye, that's for sure.
Those who delight in the sensual, erotic pleasures gleaned from a brief glimpse or touch of a slender female leg surrounded by pantyhose or stockings are handed their own Fetish Network website, Nylon Fetish Videos. Promising to bring its members exclusive scenes of softcore, masturbation, and lesbian sex scenes that always incorporate nylon hosiery, this site seems a surefire way to scratch that particular fetishistic itch. Unfortunately, as with so many fetish porn sites, Nylon Fetish Videos struggles to pull it all of without hitting some major bumps in the road.
Pornstars don't come much more immediately impressive than Jayden Jaymes, a 26-year-old brunette from Upland California with a body so enticingly curvaceous it poses a real threat to every slimmer, smaller pornstar currently working. Jayden's self-titled official website, part of the Puba network, is host to a small but growing collection of striptease, masturbation, lesbian, and heteo hardcore scenes and photo galleries showcasing the undeniable gifts of the incomparable Ms. Jaymes.
Watching someone get themselves off might not be the most alluring sexual experience your imagination can dream up, but, as the saying goes, the simple things in life are often the best. Self Desire is a very simple site that offers nothing but HD videos showing how Ashlyn Rae, Jayden Cole, and April O'Neil, among others, get themselves off using just their own hands and a few well-chosen aids. Simply perfection? Well, sorry, Self Desire, not quite.
Assuming you're above the age of 30, there are precious few reasons that warrant your presence outside or on the grounds of a junior college campus. No, I don't care if the 19-year-old babes are playing softball this afternoon! What, do you wanna get arrested or something? Instead, I suggest staying home and easing into an afternoon of furious masturbation with Jr. College Lesbians as your inspiration. With a growing collection of sapphic hardcore scenes that show college-age hotties enjoying each others licks in lieu of lectures, there's a definite reason the folks behind the Reality Gang network have decided to keep updating Jr. College Lesbians. And remember: just because they're "lesbians" doesn't mean they're not into dick; they are, just plastic ones.
You're the kind of guy who's always trying to peek beneath a short skirt or catch a glimpse of a whale tale whenever a cute girl at the record store bends down to pull an early Neko Case CD from the bargain bin. You, sir, are a devoted admirer of women's undergarments, especially when the women wearing them are sexy little minxes willing to throw a glimpse of waistband or a flash of crotch your way just to excite. Panty Man is a website tailor made for guys like you, guys who long for endless hours sitting before a parade of gorgeous ladies in underwear more tasteful than tacky. It may mostly hold softcore photos and videos, but as any Panty Man knows, sometimes soft and sensual beats hard 'n' heavy hands down!
Most guys would kill to get their little mitts on a freshly shaved, silkily smooth, tight, and slightly moist 19-year-old pussy, but not you! Oh no, you've gotta retain your proud sense of sexual individuality and instead lust after the crusty, dusty, and excessively hirsute excuses for female genitalia as found only on the bodies of so-called "mature" women. Nobody's grandma's panties are safe around you, are they? Well, why not use Old Pussy Exam to live out your fantasies of gynecological examination, with you as the probing doctor and any one of fifty aging European women as your subjects? Don't deny yourself such a rare pleasure, doc! Old Pussy Exam is exactly the treatment you need.

I think they [Indians] can be made of excellent use, as scouts and light troops. Gen. George Washington, 1778
Many tribes were involved in the War of 1812, and Indians fought for both sides as auxiliary troops in the Civil War. Scouting the enemy was recognized as a particular skill of the Native American soldier. In 1866, the U.S. Army established its Indian Scouts to exploit this aptitude. The Scouts were active in the American West in the late 1800s and early 1900s, accompanying Gen. John J. Pershing's expedition to Mexico in pursuit of Pancho Villa in 1916. They were deactivated in 1947 when their last member retired from the Army in ceremonies at Ft. Huachuca, Arizona. Native Americans from Indian Territory were also recruited by Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders and saw action in Cuba in the Spanish-American War in 1898. As the military entered the 20th century, American Indians had already made a substantial contribution through military service and were on the brink of playing an even larger role.
World War I CPL George Miner, Winnebago, 12th Infantry, in Niederahran, Germany, 1919
World War II PFC Carl Gorman, Navajo, U.S. Marine Corps, Island of Saipan, 1944
We honor our veterans for their bravery and because by seeing death on the battlefield, they truly know the greatness of life. Winnebago Elder
The real secret which makes the Indian such an outstanding soldier is his enthusiasm for the fight. U.S. Army Major, 1912
More important, however, is the warrior's spiritual strength. Many traditional cultures recognize that war disrupts the natural order of life and causes a spiritual disharmony. To survive the chaos of war is to gain a more intimate knowledge of life. Therefore, military service is a unique way to develop an inner strength that is valued in Native American society.
Having a strong sense of inner spirituality is also a part of the Indian character. Many Native Americans are raised on rural or remote reservations, an environment that fosters self- reliance, introspection, and a meditative way of thinking. These character traits can be very beneficial when adapting to the occasional isolation of military life in times of both peace and war.
My people honored me as a warrior. We had a feast and my parents and grandparents thanked everyone who prayed for my safe return. We had a "special" [dance] and I remembered as we circled the drum, I got a feeling of pride. I felt good inside because that's the way the Kiowa people tell you that you've done well. Kiowa Vietnam Veteran
Being a warrior in traditional American Indian society gives one a sense of pride and a sense of accomplishment at a time in life when self-esteem is just developing. Becoming a warrior brings status to young men and women in their culture. The ceremonies that honor the warrior create a special place in the tribe's spiritual world.
After I got home, my uncles sat me down and had me tell them what it [the war] was all about. One of them had been in the service in World War II and knew what war was like. We talked about what went on over there, about killing and the waste, and one of my uncles said that God's laws are against war. They never talked about those kinds of things with me before. Cherokee Vietnam Veteran
When I went to Germany, I never thought about war honors, or the four "coups" which an old-time Crow warrior had to earn in battle....But afterwards, when I came back and went through this telling of war deeds ceremony... lo and behold I [had] completed the four requirements to become a chief. Crow World War II Veteran
Native American warriors are devoted to the survival of their people and their homeland. If necessary, warriors will lay down their lives for the preservation of their culture, for death to the American Indian warrior is but another step in the advancement of life. It is understood that the warrior's spirit lives on eternally. So, warriors do not fear death, but rather regard it as the ultimate sacrifice for their own and their people's continued survival.
My platoon commander always sent me out on patrols. He. . . probably thought that I could track down the enemy. I don't know for sure, but I guess he figured that Indians were warriors and hunters by nature.
Many American Indians (as well as non-Indian volunteers) joined the military in World War I to satisfy their sense of adventure. Most had never left the confines of their hometown, much less marched on the battlefields of Europe. These experiences provided a wisdom through exposure to other people and cultures. This was sometimes threatening to the elders of a tribe, who feared that this newfound worldliness would cause unwanted change to their culture. Over time, however, this wisdom of worldly events and peoples was accepted by tribal leaders. Today, Native Americans are increasingly exposed to the non- Indian world through movies and television. Although the military is still an avenue for seeing the world, it has, in the latter half of the 20th century, also provided other types of wisdom. Military service offers excellent educational and job skill opportunities for Native American me and women who frequently come from educationally disadvantaged communities.
There was a camaraderie [in the Air Force] that transcends ethnicity when you serve your country overseas in wartime. Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell, Cheyenne Korean veteran
Similarly, intertribal relationships were developed, sometimes with a person who was a traditional "enemy." Many times these intercultural and intertribal contacts broke through stereotypes and resulted in lifelong friendships, friendships that otherwise might never have been cultivated.
Thanks to my military service [in the Navy], I now have friends in 500 tribes. Lakota Korean veteran
With the 21st century on the horizon, the United States military can be expected to provide continuing opportunity for Native American men and women. For their part, Native Americans can be expected to carry on their centuries-old warrior tradition- serving with pride, courage, and distinction.

British phone-hacking trial told evidence was thrown away
Published on Jan 8, 2014 6:24 AM
LONDON (AFP) - A personal assistant to former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks disposed of tens of her boss's archived notebooks at the height of Britain's phone-hacking scandal, a court heard on Tuesday.
Cheryl Carter is standing trial along with Brooks at the Old Bailey, Britain's top criminal court, charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
Carter maintains that the notebooks, numbering around 30, were hers and that all Brooks' possessions were returned to the News International office.
She is alleged to have disposed of the evidence just hours before Rupert Murdoch was forced to close flagship tabloid the News of the World.

Find It, Make It: Outdoor Green Crafts for Children
Find It, Make It: Outdoor Green Crafts for Children
By Clare Youngs
Gifted by Cico Books
Book reviewed by Rachel Bernstein, Editor for FaveCrafts.com
If you're looking for fun kids craft projects that are also environmentally friendly, you should check out Find It, Make It: Outdoor Green Crafts for Children by Clare Youngs. The book is full of kids nature crafts and other unique recycled crafts. There are green crafts for practically anything you'd ever want to make, from room decorations and toys to jewelry and gift ideas. Every project in the book has been specifically designed with the environment in mind, and it is so fun to see the creative ways that you can incorporate recycled materials into your favorite craft projects. I also love how the book uses natural materials in a lot of its crafts. That way you don't have to spend a lot of money at the store buying art supplies... everything you need is right in your backyard!
The book also has a helpful section in the front with suggestions of household items that you should start collecting to use in your future eco-friendly craft projects. It also describes the best places to look for natural crafting materials (the woods, your home garden, the beach, etc.). There are so many great ideas for green crafting that I never would have even thought about, if not of this book. Best of all, at the back of the book there are a bunch of handy templates to help you with your projects.
One of my favorite crafts in the book is the Froggy bookends project because it's adorable yet oh-so-simple to make. All you have to do is collect pebbles from around your house, paint them and glue them together. Before you know it you'll have smiley frog bookends that will look cute in any kid's room!
The book also has some clever ideas for jewelry made using natural materials. I really love the felt and shell bracelets because I can never find whole seashells on the beach. This project takes those random shell fragments and transforms them into something beautiful. The craft itself is a beginner sewing project so it's perfect for kids!
If you want ideas for easy kids craft projects that also teach about the importance of the environment, this book is a great resource. You'll be amazed by how many creative ways the author has found to use natural and recycled materials in kid-friendly craft projects.

so basically the game gives you the option to choose between 3 random champions. I like that idea :3
this is genius
Well, that's actually not how dota does random. If you random in dota you get a random champion locked in. For a portion of your starting gold, you can re-roll that champion. What the OP is referring to is -sd, or single draft. Under those rules, every player in the game gets randomed 3 champions, one of each archetype (tank, mage, auto attack damager (so assassin/adc)). Each player picks, and the game goes on as normal. And yes, -sd is pretty fun.
Wouldn't work in LoL, since champs are locked until you buy them. They would need to have 15 free champs for new players to pick from, or allow players to get randomed champs they don't own (Riot won't do it. Ever). Gotta love free to "play" games.
actually it can work if you just keep it simple... you get to choose between 3 random champions (the role doesn't matter) this is probably one of the best ideas do deal with dodgers

POSTED: Sunday, July 22, 2012 - 5:57pm
UPDATED: Sunday, July 22, 2012 - 7:34pm
As of 8:25 p.m. Sunday night, Oncor outages are estimated as follows:
Tyler: Apx. 460 outages
Jacksonville: Apx. 1,950 outages
Palestine: Apx. 50 outages
Whitehouse: Apx. 490 outages
Lufkin/Nac: Apx. 1,750 outages
Oncor believes the number of fallen trees from Saturday night's storm is a result from last year's drought.
Many of the trees that fell from the storm were dead trees that were weaker than normal.
Oncor has brought extra resources to the Lufkin and Jacksonville areas after Saturday's isolated thunderstorm that caused widespread damage in several East Texas neighborhoods.
Restorations to all homes that have outages are expected to be complete by midday Monday, July 23.
In a press release, Oncor asks customers to make plans to safely await restoration.
Oncor also asks customers call 888-313-4747 to report outages, and click stormcenter.oncor.com for weather and restoration updates.
Please be careful of downed power lines and call 911 immediately if you spot a downed line.
Additional resources from Houston, Dallas, Waco, Texoma, Fort Worth and Beaumont have responded to aid in the recovery from this major weather event.
"We understand the tremendous hardship that being without power during these severe weather conditions places on our customers. We want to assure our customers that Oncor is taking every measure possible to restore power as quickly and as safely as possible," Oncor Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Jim Greer said. "During periods of intense summer heat, it's important that we do all we can to keep our customers safe and allow them to make plans to await restoration."
Oncor says intense lightning and high winds, coupled with dead and falling trees affected by last night's drought, were the main factors in the loss of power.
More than 27,000 lightning strikes were recorded in Angelina County alone.
Winds in excess of 60 miles per hour blew through the area with even stronger wind gusts recorded.
Early Sunday afternoon, approximately 10,800 customers remained without power.
That was down from a grand total of more than 24,000 customers.

Interning at GQ means being ready for anything. One minute I'll be running to the deli across the street to pick up a six-pack of Guinness for a photo shoot with George Wendt. The next I'll be transcribing an interview with a former Secretary of State. The thing that all magazine interns in this town know is that you never, ever turn down an assignment. No matter what kind of project gets thrown at you, just go with it. You're the ultimate (unpaid) yes man.
So it was odd to read this email from my manager: "[Senior Editor] Dan Fierman is going to ask you if you're interested in an assignment that you should absolutely feel free to turn down." Intriguing, I thought. At that moment I was opening hundreds of packages of unsolicited promotional swag (screening for anthrax, presumably), so I couldn't even imagine what kind of job warrants an opt-out clause around here.
"You know the new Jay Leno Show?" Dan said. "Basically we realize we should be covering this, but none of us want to do it." Trained to never say no, I quickly committed to be a Leno beat writer. This means tuning-in NBC every night at ten for the foreseeable future, or, as Dan put it, "until you go crazy."
Now I know very little about the entertainment industry, and I've never seen Leno, either in primetime or late night. I tried to hide this fact from Dan, but being the crack intern tormentor that he is, called me on my bluff. "You've never seen him before?" he asked, laughing. "That's great. It makes you the perfect lab rat."
I'm bracing myself for tonight, the first of this mad experiment. I'm not exactly sure what I've gotten myself into: What could possibly be so bad about a TV show that none of GQ's writers are willing to go near it? Why does no one seem to think I'm going to survive more than a week? What is this thing called "In The Headlines" and why do people laugh at me when I say I don't know? And, perhaps, more important than anything: Do you think George Wendt would mind if I got into a couple of his beers?
Pray for me.
