Outside of the freelance world, I work for an Associated Press affiliated company, covering a Major League Baseball team. Within the freelance realm, I currently hold positions such as Senior Editor, Lead Editor, Editor Trainer, and Project Manager; some requiring roles as the direct point man to Fortune 500 companies. If you need to ensure that your content is the best possible, I encourage you to read my past feedback, check out some of the dozens of tests I have taken, and contact me with your project details so I can tell you how I can help.

Just as a note, not to demean the position, since it is often the core of any good content strategy, but I have no interest in being a "writer" at this point in my career, so please do not invite me to jobs in that role.

The Minnesota Vikings have signed fullback Ryan D'Imperio from their practice squad. The Vikings announced the move Tuesday and waived tight end Allen Reisner to make room on the roster. D'Imperio is in his second season out of Rutgers. He was a linebacker in college but has been converted to fullback by the Vikings. The transition has taken some time, and D'Imperio often looked raw and unsure of himself in the role during the preseason. Tight end Jim Kleinsasser has been getting the bulk of the playing time as Adrian Peterson's lead blocker. D'Imperio could spell him on occasion and contribute on special teams if he is activated. The Vikings (0-4) host Arizona (1-3) on Sunday.

Ferrari SA Aperta: exclusive first drive
Posted: 19 Apr 2011
It's not meant to be a practical and everyday tool. The 'emergency roof' takes fiddly minutes to fit, and even though it looks good and works well, isn't rated past 80mph. And although the boot is bigger than the 599's, it will probably never see serious use. Yes it sounds amazing even at low-range rpm and, yes, it looks suitably heart-stopping, but here in town it rides too well to possibly be fully committed and tootles too easily. In fact, it feels suspiciously unlike the 599 even though it has the 661bhp engine and drivetrain from the crackers GTO. After a bit, I'm relaxed in the knowledge that this car is a poseur's irrelevance, and my preconceptions are comfortingly sated.

Lipo Cavitation is a non surgical cellulite treatment for weight loss, effective inch loss and body shaping.
•Revolutionary, new and highly popular
•The non-surgical alternative to liposuction
•Non-invasive, fat reducing, body sculpting and cellulite reduction
•Ultrasound technology breaks down fat cells, totally safe with immediate inch loss (up to 2cm in first session)
Lipo Cavitation could be also defined as "liposuction without liposuction". In fact, unlike liposuction, lipo cavitation does not require the use of suction cannulas, anaesthesia or other surgical procedures, as it can dissolve and remove unwanted fat found in the fat cells by using an appliance that simply grazes the skin and releases ultrasounds.
It is a fantastic new system that is pain free, non-invasive and gives instant results.
The fat basically "melts".The fat is "cavitated" and turned into a liquid. With the aid of pressotherapy than the liquid is then absorbed into the bloodstream, and then filtered out by the kidneys, and excreted in urine.

Edward Lear (1812-1888)
'PARGA, ALBANIA' Signed twice with monogram l.r. and inscribed verso '17 No 98 Parga Albania Sketches Parga 1849', watercolour and bodycolour over pencil 16.5 x 26cm Provenance: Thomas Agnew & Sons Ltd. No.29802. This view shows the Venetian fort in Parga. The diaries and paintings that resulted from his trip to Greece and Albania were published in 1851 in 'Journal of a Landscape Painter in Greece and Albania'. Edward Lear's journey to Albania in 1848 had not been planned; it came about through a chance meeting with Sir Stratford Canning, the British Ambassador in Constantinople who obtained the necessary papers for travel through the Ottoman Empire. Starting from Salonica, Lear went north to Shkoder, then south to Corfu, Parga and Arta before turning west again to end his travels at Mount Olympus and the Vale of Tempe.

Killer Whales Hunt on Shore in Argentina
A strange form of hunting can be witnessed near the northern tip of Argentina. Orcas, also known as killer whales, have been seen launching themselves onto the shore with intentions of making a sea lion pup part of their next meal.
The orcas use sonar to hunt. They beach themselves in high tide, and allow the waves to carry them back into the sea. The method is risky, but orcas attempt to judge the waves pattern to make sure they are able to catch the next wave and return to the sea.
The rare phenomenon has been reported seven times. Each event involved orca who were members of a pod that swims along the coast of Patagonia's Valdes Peninsula during March and April "" autumn in the southern hemisphere. The season coincides with the early development of baby sea lions.
Whales stalk their prey in deep channels such as Playa Punta Norte, where sea lions breed. The young pups often learn to swim between the rocks in the channel, but only the most developed pups are able to escape from the orcas.
Roberto Bubas, has 15 years of experience observing orcas in Patagonia. He said that the hunting method has been passed along to some younger members of the pod by five of the beached whales he witnessed.
"It's a culture at risk," Bubas said.
Orcas are a main attraction for tourists in the area. Last year, 340,000 tourists visited Valdes Peninsula via cruise ships in hopes of seeing orcas, sea lions or penguins.
Tourists are not allowed to walk along the majority of beaches, and tour companies are ordered not to overcrowd their groups in certain regions.
"Tourism is growing and growing. It's massive. What we're trying to do is redistribute the tourists," said Sergio Casin, Conservation Director for Protected Areas in the southern Argentine province of Chubut.
"Taking a lot of people there would make the sea lions stampede, which would damage the (whale's) food and the life of the sea lions themselves," he said.
Juan Copello's family owns a lodge at Playa Punta Norte, where he also observes whales for the Punta Norte Orca Research group. Landowners in the area are allowed to live there but are asked to help government efforts to protect wildlife.
"The problem is trying to control all the people who don't know how to respect the animals on the beach," said Copello.
"In places where people always went down to the beach the animals have moved on and sought quieter areas," he said.

Wow you are NOT afraid of colour!
Your work is so very different from mine that I'm not sure I have any relevant crit however I'd like to see you use less black and more dark colours, I think it would have a richer quality than the bright colour mixed with black.

I think your aqauatic speedpaint is very unique. the figures that above the sea seems very flat though. It would have been well done if you have not cropped them from the edge of the image.

Hendrick mulls Keselowski options
Updated: May 1, 2009, 3:58 PM ETBy David Newton | ESPN.com
RICHMOND, Va. -- Brad Keselowski will give Hendrick Motorsports the first crack to sign him to a full Sprint Cup Series ride for next season, but that doesn't guarantee he'll wind up there.
"As far as opportunities to make that work, there are so many I don't think you guys have time to hear them all," the 25-year-old driver said Friday at Richmond International Raceway. "The basics of it are we still have a few months to work some of this out.
"Specifically, I am working with ...

Katy Perry may be enjoying a well-earned break as she lazes by the pool but she clearly won't take a day off from looking picture perfect.
Katy Perry looked super hot in a bikini. Copyright [Big]
As she holidayed in Miami the songstress showed off her impressive bikini body as she played in the pool accesorising as if she were on a photo shoot.
[Related story: Russell Brand shows off new girlfriend a week after divorce]
[Related story: Katy Perry's diet secrets]
Not content with wearing a simple black string bikini, Katy Perry protected her hair from the sun with a straw hat complete with a brown bow.
Katy Perry also showed off her toned bum. Copyright [Big]
She added a beaded necklace to her look and risked it tarnishing in the swimming pool as she swam in the water.
When she wasn't topping up her tan she lay under the shade of a canopy and was served lemonade — we like her style.
After a crazy year which saw the star embark on a grueling global tour, split from her husband Russell Brand and launch her debut movie, Part of Me, we're not surprised she needs a rest.
The singer looked stunning as she relaxed in the sun. Copyright [Big]
Although it won't be for long... she's yet to complete her promo schedule for the movie, and her next premiere stop will be Brazil.
We hope after that Katy fulfills her pledge to take a break and recover from all the drama!
The Wide Awake singer recently said she'd take some time out as she 'needs her heart to heal.'
She best not stay away for too long though, we need more KP in our lives.

So, my problem is that a used to have an old B&O (Beocenter 1500) but the speakers just died... I'm thinking to get a pair of Bowers & wilkins 685 to replace them. Is the amp good enough fore the speakers? And could a b&w zeppelin sound quality be as good ase the 685?

As with my other YYH fic, this was just written on a whim, even though I know I've undertaken far too many projects. But it just wouldn't leave me alooooooone! *whine whine*
Anywho, it's a story about a girl, Minako Jones, who's parents - a British father and a Japanese mother - get divorced. Minako's mother gets full custody of the children, sixteen-year-old Hiroyuki, fifteen-year-old Minako, and seven-year-old Sammi. Abruptly, she decides to move them all back to Japan, where they had lived until Minako was four. Of course, Minako is very unhappy about this, so she begins to keep 'memoirs'. At the end of the chapter, as you'll see, she finds out that she is to go to Meiou High next year, the same place as Kurama, which is where Yu Yu Hakusho figures into this :p. Not sure if it'll be romance or not, depends on where exactly it goes.
Disclaimer: Me? Own YYH? Er…you ARE kidding, aren't you? Kidding or insane? Yes, of course.
June 7th
Well that's it then. My life has officially gone down the loo. Why, you ask? Well, here's the gist of it in four simple statements:
1. My mother has decided to move my older brother, my younger sister, and me to Japan because she wants us to 'get in touch with our roots'. Psh. Liar.
2. My parents have just divorced because good ol' dad went and cheated on mum with a secretary at his company called 'Emmaline', which so thoroughly like something out of a sappy daytime drama that I don't want to think about it anymore.
3. I know about as much Japanese as a Japanese two-year-old.
4. Until we get enough pounds…no, wait… 'Yen' to buy a house of our own, we have to live with mum's deranged cousins that have a son two years older than me who gave me very, very WRONG looks when they visited us in merry old England (How I miss ye already!) last year.
Oh joy, my seven-year-old sister, Sammi, just informed me – in Japanese – that she has to go to the bathroom. Of course, I didn't know that was what she said until mum told me. Now she's getting very shirty with me for not studying up on 'Nihongo' like I'm supposed to. Honestly, just because I don't care to learn the language of my new prison, that makes me 'uncooperative' and 'difficult'?
Wonderful, she's attracting the stares of our curious fellow passengers.
I may just die before we arrive.
That'd be nice.
June 7th
Some Airport in Japan
Kill me now. People around me babbling in Japo-speak, no hint of English anywhere…AGH! Dear Lord, what did I do to make you hate me so?! WHAT?! I was a (fairly) good daughter, a good student, a good friend, and a fantabulous person overall, if I do say so myself.
My opinion is NOT biased in any way, let me assure you.
Well, anyway, we're here in the terminal waiting for our luggage, being surrounded by twenty bazillion black-haired, brown-eyed short people! And they say that there's never been a successful human cloning attempt…
Have come to the realization that MUM is, in fact, a black-haired, brown-eyed short person.
Not me, though. I am black-haired and short, but I have BLUE eyes! Take that, clones! HA!
Er…yeah. Disregard that last part, please. I had to drown my sorrows in caffeine on the plane ride, and obviously cannot be expected to think normally under such an influence.
Hold on, my brother, Hiroyuki, is coming over.
June 7th
Same Airport
Stupid older brothers. Nosy, loud, annoying…does he have ANY redeeming qualities? I think not. Why are people like him allowed to live? Why does no one have the sense to squash them as they'd squash something equally purposeless, say, a mosquito?
June 7th
Still the Same Airport
Is this just 'Be An Overbearing, Nosy Prat' day or something? Mum saw what I wrote in the last entry, and began admonishing me about what I said about Hiroyuki. There is just NO privacy anymore! And sympathy is definitely gone. You'd think she'd feel just a teensy bit bad about uprooting her fifteen-year-old daughter from all that she knew to go to Sushi A-Go-Go Land, but NO!
Ah, here's the luggage. Not a moment too soon either – I need to punch a pillow or something.
June 8th
Some Obscure Motel of Japo-speaking
Fortunately for me, we couldn't get to mum's cousins' house yesterday – bad weather. One more day to prepare for my sick relative. I think his name is Susumu. Or something. Oh well, who really gives a flip?
June 8th
Same Motel
Apparently mum does.
And his name really IS Susumu. It means 'advancement'. Oh, he makes 'advancements' all right, but not the kind she's thinking of.
June 8th
Mum's Cousins' House
What a day! We reached the cousins' house about 1:00 PM, and were, greeted at the door by Susumu's darling thirteen-year-old sister, Leiko.
She greeted mum in, what I'm assuming, was very polite, lovely Japo-speak, because mum simply beamed. Then she turned to me.
"Minako-chan desu ka?" she asked.
I had no effing clue how to respond to this, but I just settled for a nice, safe "Hai", which I know for a fact means 'yes'. Unfortunately, I must have looked clueless or something, because mum turned to Leiko and the two of them nattered in Japo-speak for a moment, and Leiko faced me again.
"You do not…speak much Japanese?" she said, apparently struggling with her English.
"Er…no, I don't," I said, turning a bit red, much to my dislike.
"I see…" she waited until mum had gone inside, then took me by my cardigan, and whispered quite malevolently, "You not so big, are you? Do not take over my house! You nothing more than a…a…parasite while you here! Understand, Gaijin?"
Frightened by this little girl's physical strength, and probable ability to smack me into next week, I just nodded and smiled.
I still don't know what a 'Gaijin' is.
June 9th
Cousins' House
Mum had a go at me for staying up too late to write in my 'hateful journal'. It is NOT a journal! These are MEMOIRS, and one day they will be PUBLISHED! Then you'll be sorry!
I want so badly to say that to her face.
Continuing on with what happened earlier…
Well, after Leiko the Evil Child of Darkness released me, I walked right into none other than our favorite practitioner of incest, Susumu! And guess what? He just 'happened' to be walking with his hands in front of him, and they just 'happened' to touch my basoomers.
Amazingly coincidental, don't you agree?
I wanted to scream "SEXUAL HARASSMENT!", but I bit my lip, because no doubt mum would never believe the word of her reliable daughter. No, she'd believe the 1st cousin once removed who she's only meeting for the second time.
Of course. Doesn't that make sense to you? I thought so.
Right. After this disturbing incident (which entirely assured me that nothing too pleasant was to come in my future encounters with Susumu), mum's cousin and her husband came in, and were smiling at me a bit too exaggeratedly to be believable.
Oh well, they're better than their kids, at least. Not that that's hard.
Sammi and I were shown the room in which we'd be staying. Cramped, but it's better than having to share a room with Leiko, which apparently would have happened if they hadn't decided to knock down a wall and add another room last fall.
Thank God for that particular event.
Hiroyuki has to stay in the same room as Susumu! HA!
June 9th
Cousins' House
Mum dragged me up because apparently she has arranged for me to get a tour around my new school today. I won't actually *go* until the beginning of the next school year, of course, because that would just be pointless. However, she seems to think that I'm going to remember everything I learn today for some reason.
Parents can be terribly irrational.
Anyway, the place is called 'Meiou', I think. It's apparently VERY prestigious.
And she thinks I care because…?

International Monies, Special Drawing Rights, And Supernational Money
Date Added: Jun 2009
Format: PDF
The current International Monetary System (IMS) is fragile because the dollar standard is rapidly deteriorating. The dual role the dollar as the dominant international money and national money cannot be easily reconciled because the US monetary authorities face a conflict between pursuing domestic objectives of employment and inflation and maintaining the international public good of a stable money. To strengthen the IMS, China has advocated the revitalization of the Special Drawing Rights (SDRs). But SDRs are neither money nor a claim on any international institution; are issued exogenously without any consideration to countries' financing needs; and can activate international monies only though bilateral transactions.

I heard this story somewhere, might even have read it on here somewhere, and it amused me, so..
Guy is playing an opponent who is foot faulting. A lot. So, eventually, he makes the call.
The opponent goes ballistic, claiming that "it is impossible to make a foot fault call as the returner and the rule should be banned"
So, our man, undaunted, waits until it is his turn to serve and marches up to his own service line, sets up and rips an 'ace' into the other guys box. Looks straight at him and says "What? you weren't going to call a foot fault, were you?"
I have no idea what happened next, or if this is even true, but I did laugh a lot when I first encountered the tale and wanted to share...

Arsenal boss Wenger sticks up for Liverpool ace Cole after dismissal
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was disappointed for Joe Cole after his red card on his Liverpool debut during yesterday's 1-1 draw.
Wenger expressed sympathy for the England midfielder.
Wenger said: "It was completely in the corner and I was on the bench, so I couldn't see it.
"But Joe Cole is usually a fair player, he is not one I would record is a guy who tries to hurt people. It is not his style.
"Maybe he was a bit rushing in his tackle.
"He kicked him - certainly accidentally - well because he [Koscielny] had a big knock on his shin. Fortunately his shinpad protected him well. We were scared it was broken because when he was moved off the pitch the physio told me it could be broken."

Kenneth Faried inspires Team Chuck's win over Team Shaq in Rising Stars Challenge
Last Updated: 16/02/13 10:01am
Kenneth Faried: Was the star of the show in the Rising Stars Challenge
Kenneth Faried scored 40 points as Charles Barkley's 'Team Chuck' recorded a 165-135 win over Shaquille O'Neal's 'Team Shaq' in the NBA's Rising Stars Challenge.
Denver Nuggets forward Faried, who shot 18-of-22 from the field, also had 10 rebounds as he clinched MVP honours in the contest at the All-Star Weekend.
The match pits the best first- and second-year players in the league against each other, with one team drafted and managed by O'Neal and the other by Barkley.
Faried rounded his performance off with two windmill dunks in the final minute which he said were a taste of what people can expect from him in Saturday night's Slam Dunk contest.
"I had fun. I enjoyed myself. This was just a sneak preview. There is going to be a lot of competition tomorrow but I think I can rise up and get the trophy," Faried said.
With the exception of Ricky Rubio, every player reached double-figures in scoring for Hall of Famer Barkley's team.
Tristan Thompson and Kawhi Leonard each racked up 20 points and Isaiah Thomas finished with 18 points with 10 assists in the victory.

How to Color Correct Portraits and Skin Tones – Lightroom Color Correction
Video Tutorial
Why you didn't apply masking? sharpening without masking = more noise, am i
No tone curve adjustment ?
The third image looked better before I think the second is too dim and
green…this is really neat though.
after effects ill check it out thanks
You need to calibrate your monitor.
RAW, look at the file extension. CR2, Canon's RAW format…..
I had been looking endlessly for software that does hue, saturation, and
tone correction on VIDEOS, does anyone know anything for windows 7?
is it just me or is the wedding pic the girl is slightly out of focus while
the glasses/arm is more in focus
Hey I have a question I was wondering if anyone could help.. I'm new to
using Lightroom 4 .. My question is evertime I edit a pic it looks awesome
but when I save it and upload it to facebook or print them the people look
a little redish like they have a sunburn .. What might I be doing wrong
that this is happening. . When I view it in my gallery they look fine.
Please help
LOL, if they catch you and take you to court then you can go to jail. I
could not survive in jail in my country because there are limited jails so
they put minor criminals in with hardcore insane monsters.
@conrad2001 thats a lens flare caused by the sun
if you print out and they are reddish, then its wrong monitor/printer
settings.and facebook reduces the quality of images btw. Same wierd colour
shifts happen if you open a photoshop/lightroom edited image in some
Microsoft Viewer it also looks different then in those adobe programs.
Just found your YouTube channel and have watched a few tutorials. This is
very useful information; very clear and concise. Thank you for taking the
time to put these tutorials together and share them. I'm still learning LR
and am very excited to continue watching these. Great work! Thanks again
for sharing. Cheers!
great video with good avdices! But: masking when sharpening should be done
I have controls for Exposure but not "Recovery," "Fill Light" and "Blacks"
right beneath. It goes straight from Exposure to Contrast. What's up with
my Lightroom? Is it a preferences thing?
Really good and superbly structured. Makes it easy to follow. Thank you for
You sound like Drake haha.
Why is there purple on the armpit?
I have lightroom 3 and gimp 2.6. Do I need photoshop or would that just be
a waste of money ?
watching your tutorials in 1080p is amazing!
Premiere Pro or After Effects
You're using Lightroom 4. He is using Lightroom 3 in the video. In
Lightroom 4, they now have Highlights (which does a better job at adjusting
only the highlights instead of the overall "recovery") and Shadows (which
does a better job at adjusting only the shadows instead of the overall
black or "Fill Light")
Good stuff, please keep the excellent tutorials coming!
Good Tutorial As always thx a Lot
@goonswarm007 Glad to help.

Aaron Burr, Sr. (January 4, 1716 – September 24, 1757) was a notable divine and educator in colonial America. He was a founder of the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) and the father of the third United States Vice President, Aaron Burr (1756–1836), who famously dueled with Alexander Hamilton.
A native of Connecticut, Burr was born in 1716 in present day Fairfield to Daniel Burr, a wealthy landowner. He was of English ancestry (his grandfather Jehu Burr had been born in Lavenham, Suffolk, England, in 1625, settled in the Connecticut Colony as a young man, and died there in 1692). Aaron Burr attended Yale College (now Yale University), where he obtained a B.A. in 1735. After graduation, he became a Presbyterian minister in Newark, New Jersey, also conducting a school in classical studies there. In 1752, he married Esther Edwards, daughter of the New England divine, Jonathan Edwards, and his wife Sarah, daughter of James Pierpont. Jonathan Edwards was a leader of the First Great Awakening, a significant religious movement of the 1730s and 1740s.
In the 1740s, a controversy over religious doctrines led to a split in the faculty and student body at Yale. In opposition to Yale's first president, Thomas Clap, Jonathan Edwards, Burr, and Jonathan Dickinson founded the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) at Elizabeth, New Jersey, in 1746. Dickinson was elected first president of the College, but died soon after in 1747. Burr then became the second president. During his tenure (1748–1757), the curriculum was settled, the student body increased significantly, and the College moved to its permanent home at Princeton, New Jersey. He supervised the construction of Nassau Hall, Princeton's best-known structure and the largest building in the colonies when it was completed in 1756.[1] Burr, elected at age 32, was also the youngest person ever to serve as president of Princeton.
In 1755, Burr was relieved of his pastoral duties in order to concentrate full-time on his work at Princeton.[1] In the fall of 1757, Burr died in Princeton of fever, believed to have been brought on or aggravated by overwork. His remains were interred in the President's Lot at Princeton Cemetery. His widow died seven months later, orphaning their three-year-old daughter Sally and two-year-old son Aaron.[2]

If you're choosing between apps only, I'd stick with the default Reader. If you're considering all the options including desktop programs, then I'd pick Adobe Reader XI or whatever version is current, unless for some reason, it doesn't play nicely with the touch interface.
Posted 15 August 2013 - 16:12
Actually, adobe plays very nicely with the touch interface especially when using it with the signature feature. But depending on what tablet you are using (surface pro vs. low end fujitsu) it can be sluggish.
However, between the two, if you need to view in a non-full-screen window, Adobe Reader is still the best choice. (I have both installed, and use the ModernUI Reader for full-screen PDFing, and Adobe for windowed PDFing.)

Install streetlights
It is the practice to install streetlights on the sides of newly built bridges.
Although electric posts are present on the eastern side of the newly built Karamana bridge, streetlights have not been installed. Hope the authorities will look into the matter.
V.G. Balakrishnan
Set up traffic light system
With MG Road being made into a four-lane road, there is a need for a traffic light system in front of the Martyrs' Column at Palayam where four roads meet. This will enable proper control of traffic. Marking of zebra crossing will help pedestrians cross the road. Vehicle parking by the roadside near Connemara Market should not be allowed. Traffic police should be deployed to help people cross roads to visit places of religious worship.

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx
By Katherine Turman
Em mightve been away from the stage for a minute, but he still knows how to keep a show moving. During a D12 mini-set, the boy-band parody at the end of My Band gives us the first ironic display of fireworks Ive ever seen. The show moves fluidly from crack-ups to ballads to anthems, leaving room for superstar guests: Drake emerges to general chaos for Forever. And when the night ends with Lose Yourself, the stadium barely feels big enough to contain the song.
And then theres the one brilliantly shocking moment. Em starts My Name Is, but the song stops dead at the first mention of Dr. Dres name. Em starts screaming: Oh, no! Oh, shit! Dres name flashes huge on the screen behind him, the intro to The Next Episode plays, and Ems now-reclusive mentor enters via elevator, getting the biggest disbelieving crowd-roar Ive ever heard. Dr. Dre is only onstage for a few minutes, doing a couple of songs and looking like he cant wait to leave. As he tries to depart, Em forces him to stand there while the crowd chants Detox at him. Im coming, says Dre, unconvincingly. Its a shaky, uncomfortable appearance, but a great moment nonetheless. (For his part, Jay holds himself to one guest, Jeezy, but hell presumably host a ton more when the show comes to Yankee Stadium.)
Eminem isnt an ambassador for his city the way Jay is. Jay has Empire State of Mind, a song thatll make him synonymous with his hometown forever. The closest thing Em has is Welcome to Detroit City, a song he produced for terrifying Detroit D-lister Trick Trick, less a song about how Detroit is a great place and more a song about how youll fucking die if you fuck with Trick Trick in Detroit. But at home in his destroyed city, performing in front of a bandstand made out of crushed cars, Em feels like a symbol for, well, recovery. Hes a destroyed man who put himself back together. Even if his music doesnt have the kick it once did, that rebuilding means something in a once-great city that tore itself apart years ago. When Em brings this show to New York, that story might not mean as much. But itll still be a great show.
Jay-Z and Eminem play Yankee Stadium September 13 and 14
