The Concord Review, Inc., was founded in March 1987 to recognize and to publish exemplary history essays by high school students in the English-speaking world. With the Spring Issue (#104), 1,143 research papers (average 6,000 words, with endnotes and bibliography) have been published from authors in forty-four states and forty other countries. The Concord Review remains the only quarterly journal in the world to publish the academic history papers of secondary students.
Many of our authors have sent reprints of their papers with their college application materials, and they have gone on to Brown(27), University of Chicago(25), Columbia(22), Cornell(16), Dartmouth(22), Harvard(128), Oxford(13), Pennsylvania(26), Princeton(68), Stanford(54), Yale(108), and a number of other fine institutions, including Amherst, Bowdoin, Bryn Mawr, Caltech, Cambridge, Carnegie Mellon, Duke, Emory, Johns Hopkins, McGill, Michigan, Middlebury, MIT, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Reed, Rice, Smith, Trinity, Tufts, Virginia, Washington University, Wellesley, and Williams.
We have sent such exemplary history essays to subscribers (students, teachers and librarians) in forty-two states and thirty-eight other countries (Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Cyprus, England, France, Greece, Holland, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Madagascar, Malaysia, Mexico, Nepal, New Guinea, New Zealand, Paraguay, Philippines, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Turkey, Venezuela and Wales). Schools in Bangkok, California, Connecticut, Georgia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Singapore, Texas, Vermont and Virginia have class sets of the Review, and teachers are using these essays as examples of good historical writing. One girls' school in Monterey, California has had 70 subscriptions for their history students, Singapore American School now has 125 subscriptions, and Bangkok Patana School in Thailand has a class set for their students of history.
We have had

Bradford Wells and Anthony John Makk, a bi-national same-sex couple who are married and have spent most of their 19-year relationship in the San Francisco's Castro district, have won a two year reprieve against the threat of deportation.
From the San Francisco Chronicle:
"We're still dizzy from the news," said Makk, 49. "We are elated."
"I'm relieved, really excited and relieved," said Wells, 56. "I am so grateful I don't have to worry about Anthony being taken out of the country."
The couple's plight, first covered by The Chronicle in June, triggered international media attention.
On Wednesday, the Department of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services issued a letter to Makk saying he has been granted "deferred action" on his case for two years. The agency said the stay is "an exercise of prosecutorial discretion" that allows the agency not to pursue deportation for a specific period.
This comes after a concentrated public outcry and a political effort from Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, and state Sen. Mark Leno, who helped the couple pursue all legal avenues to ensure that Makk, an Australian citizen, may stay in the U.S. and continue being the primary carer for his partner Wells who suffers from AIDS-related illnesses.
Makk was denied consideration for a green card because under the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) his marriage to Wells is not recognized by the federal government.
Despite DOMA, Makk met the other conditions for residency and thus, according to immigration guidelines issued last year, his case could be deferred so that other priority deportation cases could be heard. These criteria include family ties, lack of criminal record and a prolonged period of legal residence. Makk's status as Wells' primary care giver was also taken into consideration.
It has been reported that it was in fact Nancy Pelosi herself who broke the news to the couple, whereby she also issued a statement saying this was a "personal victory" for the couple and that she would continue to fight for the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act.
As mentioned above, this is not a permanent fix for the couple but the reprieve will hopefully allow them more time to explore their legal options while the fight to repeal DOMA and the denial of federal recognition continues.

Congratualtions and thanks for a little justice. Why should same-sex couples have to deal with layers of bigotry (even in law, no less) on top of all of the other life hardships everyone faces?
Rob D.
if he was trying to come to the US legally to assist his lover then I agree he should not be deported but given a temporary period to help his friend.
This couple have been together for 19-years with most of this time spent in San Francisco. They are a married couple not just friends or lovers. Anthony John Makk (an Australian) is now his partners carer. What will happen to Bradford Wells if his partner is deported and who or what will it benefit? What has happened to compassion?
Part of my maternal family are American (from New York State) and I struggle to understand why a country, largely made up of immigrants or their descendants, are not more flexible and take each case on individual basis rather than people having to fight for years for basic human rights. But then again, the prevailing attitude still regards same sex couples as different (read inferior) and the sanctity of marriage must be defended - from what?
Member .
I wish you were if that is the sum total of your contribution.
wow, thank you to the senators who helped! I hope this reprieve can become permanent...
more gay crap!! NEXT!!!!
Great news! Thank you Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, and state Sen. Mark Leno. DOMA has got to go!
More proof that Komrad Klinton's 'Disease of Marriage Act' should be retroactively repealed.
Thank you for the good news. This was a truly awful situation.
I hope Nancy Pelosi can get this destructive and bigotted act repealed before it destroys any more lives.

No – trust me, nobody noticed. Bear in mind, I'm not talking about T-Pain style autotune where it is used as a vocal effect to intentionally sound "computerized" (though he did some of that as well). He was using it on all his vocals like many pop stars (miley cyrus, rhihanna, etc) use it today - in a clandestine manner to mask pitchy vocals.

|Regarding the pitch
Regarding the pitch correction on the vocals, yes - the show was from the Age of Adz tour. Like I said, I bet no one at the show even noticed, but I certainly could. (I am a musician myself.) The vocals sounded almost like you were listening to a CD, but not in a good way - in a slightly "removed" kind of way, almost like they were pre-recorded. Anyway, Sufjan mentioned that he was recording the show that night, so maybe the pitch correction was just used for that reason.
Anyway, even though I think he peaked with the Illinoise album, I still consider him a quality musician and in many ways a brilliant artist.

I am a huge fan of the Illinoise and Michigan albums, but found the new one a bit boring. I don't understand all the hype. Also, I saw him live once – he is really a subpar performer. I was probably one of the very few in the audience who knew this, but he was using pitch correction on his live vocals, which really sucks the personality out of them. He is truly a studio artist, not a live one.

Larry Sanders sat on the bench during a late timeout, his mouth gushing blood. The cut came from one of the multiple times the Bucks forward was hit in the face during Friday's contest. Instead of losing his cool, Sanders hit them back, but not literally. He let his play do the talking. With the Bucks up three with 18 seconds left in overtime, Sanders blocked Paul Pierce's attempt at a tying 3-pointer, then sprinted the length of the court to receive a pass from Brandon Jennings and cement the victory over Bostonwith a dunk. And cementing Friday's victory came a lot more difficult to the Bucks than they would have liked. Milwaukee managed to cough up a seven-point lead with 33 seconds left in regulation, missing three free throws in the stretch. Still, with the ball and up three with nine seconds left, Jennings threw the ball away, leading to a fast-break 3-pointer by Celtics guard Jason Terry. He missed, but Paul Pierce didn't on the reload, tying the game at 88-all with 2.5 se...

Miguel Cabrera is in the best shape of his life
Feb 18, 2011, 9:19 AM EDT
UPDATE: In addition to saying that Miguel Cabrera was going to have the biggest year of his life — see below — Jim Leyland just threw one right into my wheelhouse. Jeff Passan is on the scene passing quotes along:
"Miguel Cabrera is in the best shape of his life. He's stronger than he's ever been. And he's quicker than he's ever been."
The BSOML meme is officially broken. I can't write about it with a straight face anymore. Well, I probably still will, but I'll never top Leyland. Leyland went on to say this about Cabrera's arrest:
"It has no effect. It might make some dramatic reading material. It's not going to do shit. Believe me. Nothing."
I laud Leyland for having his player's back. But that's a bridge too far. Cabrera may have a good season because, after all, he's a great player. But the man also has a serious problem with alcohol, and that's not nothing. There will be an effect. There has to be, because Miguel Cabrera needs to change his life.
9:06 A.M.: Jim Leyland spoke to reporters this morning. I would not have guessed beforehand that this is something he'd say about Miguel Cabrera
"he's probably going to have the biggest year of his life"
Well, it has certainly started out with a bang.
Although I suppose it's entirely possible too. If there is any bright side at all to this — and yes, I realize I'm reaching — it's that this happened just as spring training is getting underway. There are obviously major issues to deal with here — this was not a case of one too many beers at the barbecue — but he has a month and a half in which his primary job is to focus on physical conditioning. And those around him, including Leyland, the front office, teammates and other, have more time to help him get his head right than they would if the routines of the regular season were underway.
At least that's the hope.
- Rosenthals Speling Instrukter - Feb 18, 2011 at 9:12 AM
I am starting to wonder if years after his retirement there will be legends of his drinking a la Wade Boggs.
- Panda Claus - Feb 18, 2011 at 9:20 AM
The "biggest" year of his life could be taken either way: great year on the diamond or a great disaster of a year off the field. He's taken a step towards the latter already, let's see if he can correct the course.
As for Leyland's sentiment, could that be the most ambiguous quote of the year?
- Mr. Jason "El Bravo" Heyward - Feb 18, 2011 at 9:33 AM
Craig, for fun's sake, I'll bet you $20 that Cabrera is the AL MVP this year.
- Jonny 5 - Feb 18, 2011 at 9:55 AM
I'll put up $2000 that says you're wrong. How fun would that be???
- Mr. Jason "El Bravo" Heyward - Feb 18, 2011 at 10:07 AM
Not fun at all. You have to pick a guy to win the MVP instead, then I'll consider it.
- Utley's Hair - Feb 18, 2011 at 11:36 AM
It would be an intriguing study in sociology if it came down to Josh Hamilton and Cabrera.

He's round, round is a shape….

Cabrera? No sir. The scotch bottle is 'round, 'round his person all the time.
- phukyouk - Feb 18, 2011 at 9:38 AM
"Miguel Cabrera is in the best shape of his life. He's stronger than he's ever been. And he's quicker than he's ever been."
Just ask the officer that had to knee him in the leg over and over.
- ja4ed - Feb 18, 2011 at 10:04 AM
I think there was a study recently released that found heavy drinkers workout more often and more intensely. Maybe Leyland read that study.
- Ace - Feb 18, 2011 at 10:30 AM
Is this the study to which you're referring? Because I'm not sure how scientific it was:
- ja4ed - Feb 18, 2011 at 10:57 AM
Nope, it's legitimate:
- sabathiawouldbegoodattheeighthtoo - Feb 18, 2011 at 11:04 AM
Maybe he meant Cabrera FEELS stronger. After half a bottle of Scotch I usually feel like friggin superman!
- Utley's Hair - Feb 18, 2011 at 12:51 PM
Not me. I usually feel like either Sleepy the dwarf or the smurf.
- tomemos - Feb 18, 2011 at 12:41 PM
Not to be a downer, but I'm seriously grossed out by Leyland's comments. That's just what Cabrera needs, another person telling him, "You're fine, you don't have a problem, just keep hitting the baseball and you can do whatever you want."
- henryd3rd - Feb 18, 2011 at 1:06 PM
Obviously Jim Leylan is a great baseball man and I love that he's backing his player like this; but please stop lauding this young man who obviously has a serious problem. His greatest accomplishment for 2011 would be staying sober. Many a great sports career, excuse the puns "went up in smoke" or "drowned in a bottle" because of an addiction of one sort of another. Let's hope that the Tigers get Cabrera the help he needs.
- WhenMattStairsIsKing - Feb 18, 2011 at 1:32 PM
Leyland: go back in time and instead say "This will not affect his 2011 performance. However, the Tigers organization is going to help Cabrera with this, and will help him stay on track going forward, and I'm behind that 100%."
- dirtyharry1971 - Feb 18, 2011 at 1:53 PM

All Day Science Fun: Happenin' Habitats and Flight Club
July 13-17; 9am-4pm | Ages 5-6 | $375
The first half of each day will be Happenin' Habitats
Habitats provide a home sweet home to every living creature on Earth! Spend the week exploring habitats of the world including forests, grasslands, deserts, wetlands and arctic tundra. We'll discover what makes habitats so homey, which type of habitat we live in, and how to create our very own backyard wildlife habitat.
The second half of each day will be Flight Club
We're taking to the skies in a variety of ways in this camp! Join us as we learn how something as heavy as an airplane seems to defy gravity and fly. We'll make gliders, kites, and other flyers as we learn about Bernoulli's principle and other laws of physics that help things fly and float.
Please Note: A supervised lunch will be provided between 12-1pm. Please send your child with a sack lunch, two snacks and a water bottle.
Age Policy: Careful consideration is used to determine age levels for all camps. To provide the highest quality experience for all students, it is necessary to adhere to the specified age range for this camp. All participants in this camp are required to have reached their fifth birthday by the first day of camp. No exceptions will be made to this policy.

"Just Another Man"
He looks in the mirror every morning and night,
Does he see what I see, it would be nice if he might.
He sees a rude man as he stands there,
I see someone who needs someone to care.
He sees a mean man, because he has to be tough,
I see someone who deals with more than enough.
He sees how he tries not to cry and feels he has no heart,
I see someone who has to keep his feelings and work apart.
He sees a murderer because he shot someone last night,
I see someone who saved someone else from a fight.
He sees a failure because he did not arrive in time
I see someone who did his best and needs peace of mind.
He sees just another man as he enters the day,
I see a special man who does his best in every way.
For all the years, he has put on the uniform of blue,
He has never realized how much he protects me and you.
But, as he starts the day again, I just wish he could see,
What he really is and how much he means to you and me.

Looks like a starter may have emerged at MN at 197 as Bronson went 2-0 today to include beating an NCAA qualifier and Malamura got stuck.
Going to be interesting to see what happens at HWT as Nord got pinned twice (once to #17 Hoskins) and Berhow pinned his guy. I think Nord had been the frontrunner but kinda makes you wonder if JRob will be rethinking that after today. I
ncidentally the Gophers only lost four matches today (the other a fillin at 133). The disturbing thing was the two pins against our heavy and I must admit Malamura losing not a surprise but getting stuck was.

text: The Grover Underwood wiki last edited by TheTruthIII on 03/22/14 08:24AM View full history Before The Lightning ThiefLike most satyrs, Grover was sent to find demigods and protect them. Due to his failure at successfully rescuing all three of the previous demigods under his care (Annabeth, Luke and Thalia), he was deemed a loser by The Council of Cloven Elders. Though he is led to believe that it was all his fault, Thalia later reveals that it was Luke. Lightning ThiefGrover starts out befriending a young man, Percy Jackson, at Yancy Academy, believing he may be a Demigod. However, Grover gets more than he reckoned for when Percy displays his powers after pushing Nancy Bobfit 20 feet back into a fountain. This causes Percy to get in trouble with a chaperone, Mrs Dodds.Percy is then goes with Mrs. Dodds into an abandoned building, expecting to receive a detention or something. However, Mrs Dodds had other plans, and transforms into a Fury, trying to kill Percy. Percy then slays her and after doing so, discusses this with Grover. Grover, knowing the more ignorant Percy is the safer he will be, pretends to not know about her. However, Percy though sees that Grover is bluffing due to his hesitation and bad lying skills.Percy later hears Grover talk to Mr. Brunner about him.After Percy loses Grover, Grover tries to find him and eventually tracks him to Montauk beach where Percy and his mom are on vacation. He then warns them and they travel to Camp Halfblood, on the way Grover reveals he is a satyr and is knocked out and Percy's mom "dies". Percy then defeats the Minotaur and drags Grover into Camp Halfblood.At Camp Halfblood, Grover tells him that he fears he will not get his Searcher's Liscense to find Pan due to his failure to bring Percy and his companions to camp.Soon Grover is to go with Annabeth on Percy's quest to go to the Underworld and recover the Master Bolt.Before the departure, Luke gives Percy a pair of flying shoes which Percy gives to Grover due to his being forbidden to travel by air.Along there trip they meet the Furies once again, face Medusa, and Percy and Annabeth retrieve Ares' shield from Waterland a nearby water park. Once retrieving said shield, Percy then finds out that his mom didn't die but was rather kidnapped by Hades. They are then give transport to Las Vegas.While traveling to Las Vegas , Grover gets really upset by the harsh treatment to the animals in the smugglers' truckIn Las Vegas they check into the Lotus Casino where Grover is seen playing a shooting game where the animals are shooting the hunters. There danger isn't known until Percy realizes the Casino is a trap and when they escapes they realize they have been there for 5 days.They the face a giant and after defeating him they travel to the Underworld, and get past Cerberus.When near Tartarus, Grover's flying shoes begin to drag him toward it and he barely escapes. They the confront Hades who has lot the Helm of Darkness and it is soon revealed that in Percy's backpack, the Master Bolt has been and after vowing to get his Mom back, Percy with the others travel to Los Angeles where Ares(who is revealed to be the one to put the Master Bolt in the backpack) is defeated and the Helm is reclaimed and given back to Hades.Percy then takes the bolt to Zeus and says that Kronos is awakening.Grover is given his searcher's license at the end.Sea of MonstersAt the start of the book, one of Percy's visions show that Grover was being held hostage by a Cyclopes. It is later revealed Grover was lured in by The Golden Fleece, and only managed not to get eaten by dressing up as a Lady Cyclopes.Powers and AbilitiesWoodland Magic: Like all Satyrs, Grover excels in the art of Pan's magic; he's able to grow plants, heal nature and communicate with animals. For offensive purposes, Grover is able to turn any form of nature into a weapon; in The Last Olympian, Grover and his fellow Satyrs managed to defeat a whole army of monsters using nothing but rocks, shrubs and trees.The Power of Pan: Because he was the only Satyr to successfully find Pan, The God of the Wild, Grover received a portion of his power. He is able to use Woodland Magic to a larger degree than fellow Satyrs and Nymphs, and has an ability called "Panic". When utilizing this power, Grover emits a scream that strikes fear into the enemy, causing them to panic and retreat. This came in handy in The Battle of the Labyrinth, where Grover scares away a whole battalion of monster simply by screaming.

In this course, professional photo restorer Janine Smith describes how to use Photoshop to restore, retouch, and enhance old or damaged photos. It covers evaluating scanned images for imperfections, using the Clone Stamp tool and other Photoshop tools, and addressing common problems and their fixes, starting with the basics (fading, spots, and paper texture) and continuing with more complex challenges (rips, adhesive tape, ink marks, mold, and more). Also included are methods for fixing exposure problems and colorcast as well as advanced techniques in photo restoration, such as replacing backgrounds and recreating missing facial features and body parts. The course includes a project that takes an image from damaged start to restored finish.
There are a lot of reasons why a photograph might have stains, but our main concern is getting rid of them. I am going to show you one way to do that. Some stains are going to be easier than others. Take this one for instance. It has a number of things going for it. One, it's in a rather unimportant area of the image. There is no detail under the stain, in other words; it's not over someone's face or something. Two, if you go to the Create a new fill or Adjustment layer icon at the bottom of the Layers panel and select Black & White adjustment, you can see, while scrolling through, especially in the light filters, like High Contrast Red, the stain is greatly diminished.
You may not be able to scroll through on a Mac, but you can select each one individually. Let's select the High Contrast Red and go back to the Create a new fill or Adjustment layer icon. This time we'll select Curves. Bring the center of the histogram up towards the upper left-hand corner. This lightens the whole image. Make sure the foreground and background colors are set to the default Black & White. And if you need to, invert them, with the black being the background color.
Hold down Ctrl+Backspace or Command+Backspace on your keyboard to invert the Curves adjustment mask. The lighten curves adjustment is now hidden. Go over to your toolbar and select the Brush tool and paint in the remaining area of the stain. You can adjust the size of your brush using the open and close bracket key. You can use a fairly large brush on an area like this; you don't have to worry too much about the detail. I am going to go back over to the toolbar and select the Zoom tool.
We are going to zoom in on the area of the stain. I am going to go back out a little bit using the Ctrl+Minus or Command+Minus key so we can see the whole stain. Next we are going up to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur, and we are going to blur and soften the edges of this. You can go up pretty far on this. It doesn't matter. You are not getting a great amount of detail there. You just want to blend it in really well. Keep it at around 20 pixels or so, and click OK. And now you can go and adjust the opacity of the curves layer to blend it in just a little better with the surrounding area. Let's bring it up to about 80%.
There's still a ring around the stain, so we need to blend that. First thing you want to do is use keyboard shortcut Shift+Ctrl+Alt+E on a PC, Shift+Command+Option+E on a Mac, to combine the layers. Then go over to the toolbar, select the Patch tool. Make a selection around an area at the edge of the stain and bring it over into a clean area.
Either way, it doesn't matter; we are just trying to blend in these areas. Let's do a couple more. You can get rid of your creases or whatever at the same time if you need to. Let's do another little area here. And we see we have a nice blend between areas. Stains on old photos come in all shapes and sizes and colors and are caused by many different things.
The tools and methods can differ depending on the size and placement of the stains, but sometimes something as simple as a Black & White or a Curves adjustment can do the trick.

Sweden Rock Confirm First 26 Bands

Meanwhile, behind the facade of this innocent looking bookstore...

At The Gates have already been confirmed for several festivals. This is just the latest in a long line.
I'm not that impressed with the lineup so far. I knew Judas Priest would play, and there's two more headliners to come, but otherwise that's a really soft lineup. Saxon are always good value, and I'm pleased with Volbeat, Astral Doors, Gotthard and Mustasch. I'm sure Ministry and Lizzy Borden will be entertaining if there's no one else to watch, but otherwise I don't really want to see any of the others.
That said, this is only 26 bands. There's 54 more to come, so plenty of space to improve.
On the headliner front I understand Van Halen are in the frame. I bloody hope not, personally. Pop rock at the best of times and now just a joke. I've got a horrible feeling they'll get Def Leppard as well. Not sure why.
I'm hoping for Whitesnake and Alice Cooper, since I'm pretty sure Iron Maiden are too expensive. Mind you, I'd have said Aerosmith were too expensive as well, but we had them last year along with Scorpions and Heaven And Hell.
They have said they're waiting until January to set ticket prices because the bands they're in negotiation with might affect the prices depending who on they get.
My wishlist for further down the bill: Sebastian Bach, Testament, Overkill, Queensryche, Benedictum, Threshold, Headspace, Symphorce, Witchcraft, Candlemass, Cathedral, Stuck Mojo... could name several but I think all of those are realistic.
2/7 Alice Cooper
3/7 Alice Cooper
17/7 Ripper Owens
24/7 Scorpions
6/8 Queensryche

Now that Yasiin Bey has championed to get people to stop calling him Mos Def he's focused on the music. And Yasiin has not one solitary ounce of care to give about offending anyone with his latest freestyle over the Chief Keef turned Kanye West "I Don't Like" beat. And he's an equal opportunity offender. From tossing around the word cracker and Natzi to going in on how he doesn't like fake thug rappers, everyone is fair game. Read more…
The 35 Greatest Kanye West Songs (In Honor Of His 35th Birthday)
Within the last 10 years there hasn't been a music success story quite like the one of Kanye West. He managed to transform himself from a well respected but not yet household name producer to a global rapper. He began producing in the late 90s for heavy hitting acts and became known for his soulful beats. It wasn't until 2001 when he got his big break from Jay-Z's "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)." From there he continued producing but began vocalizing his interest in rapping. Admittedly, no one one believed he could rap, thus labels weren't willing to take the risk on signing him. Finally he signed to Dame Dash and Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella record label and debuted College Dropout in 2004. Kanye had proved everyone wrong, not only showing that he could rap, but that he could be great while doing it (College Dropout debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard charts).
That was eight years ago when Kanye was a hungry 27-year-old trying to turn his dreams into reality. Today he's 35 with five albums under his belt, one collaboration album, countless producer credits, a fashion line and his own G.O.O.D. Music record label. Publicly, he's been scrutinized for his crass statements on live TV. His public missteps and ego aside, Ye continues to be one of the greatest music talents that has emerged in the last decade. To honor his 35th birthday, check out our list of his 35 greatest songs (which we have also turned into a Spotify playlist). Feel free to disagree with our list and add your own in the comment section below.
The 35 Greatest Kanye West Songs (In Honor Of His 35th Birthday)
35. "Who Gon Stop Me"
The production is insane, Kanye and Jay's verses are a mere bonus.
34. "Hell of A Life"
Yeezy's darkest moment has him falling in love with a porn star. Naturally, it doesn't end well.
33. "Wonder"
For the dream chasers out there, "I wonder/if you know/what it means/ to find your dreams."
32. "All Falls Down"
We can't help but think of Stacey Dash every time we hear this one.
31. "Gotta Have It"
Outside of the tambourine in the opening, there's a whole lot of flossing in this one track. Read more…
Last Lap: In The Latest Entry In The "Crazy Fans With Tattoos" Files, Woman Gets Kanye West On Her Butt
Woman Tattoos Kanye West On Her Butt
How would you prove your undying love to Kayne West? One fan not only legally changed her name to Kanyeresa West, but she has two tattoos: "Kanye" on her arm, and "Kanye West" where the sun don't shine. You have to watch this video of her talking. [Complex]
Must Watch Video Of The Day Featuring Mark Ronson, Erykah Badu and Yasiin Bey

Tuned In: You Already Knew Black Star, And Now They're Back On Fallon
Finally ready to release a new album after 1998's Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Black Star, Mos Def (who now goes by Yasiin Bey) and Talib Kweli are back as, you guessed it, Black Star. Backed by The Roots, Black Star performed "You Already Knew" from their Aretha Franklin-inspired mix tape, as well as a song called "Little Brother" (after the jump) on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. Black Star performed "You Already Knew" with a raw, charged emotion, tapping into some of the issues Watch The Throne attempted to tackle with a sincerity and refinement that Hov and Ye didn't quite pull off. A formidable hip-hop pairing indeed, we've been waiting years for the duo's next album, and we can barely contain our excitement that it's almost here!
Mos Def Talks About His Hero, Ghostface Forgets Lyrics

My 10 y.o. son bought this cart for his lawn mowing business. His 22 inch cut mower fits on it. I have welded on a ramp that folds up so he can push the mower right up on it and 2 poles with hooks so he can put the string trimmer on. The wire mesh is great for bungee cording everything down to keep it in place. The instruction that you can print off of the Harbor Freight website are much better than the ones in the box. I would recommend printing them and using them instead.

I bought this wagon to move a generator from a truck to it's intended location, about 500 feet away. The cart is rated for 1000 lbs. It buckled, and collapsed with just over 600 lbs on it, dropping a brand new generator onto the concrete.

Great for yard work..
By RONIEMAN1
from Lansing ,MI
Great for hauling dirt and other heavy items in the yard...much better to control than a wheelbarrow. Takes up less room to store without sides. Made very well,for the cost it is a supper deal.
Very useful for me!

Moving heavy loads

About Me Professional
in my back yard I moved 7000 brick with this wagon , I added a 3/8 piece of wood on the floor just to save damaging the floor of the cart ,, will hold 1000lbs but hard to pull by hand, but lawn tractor pulled it ,, I pulled all my brick by hand ,, load was 450lbs to 500lbs on a gravel walkway, work well ,, has steering like a car, not like a plan old wagon. This helps a lot when moving heavy load One thing to Note ( don't push backwards with the tow bar ,,,with a heavy load as it will bend the steering ,, only forward or push the wagon backwards and steer at same time and its fine! )pros ,, holds a good weight and steers good ,, i buy the sides for it they help a lotcons ,, steering needs heaver metal ,, if the hole thing was made in a heaver metal it would be great but i'm sure you would not get it at this great price , so for the yard its the best wagon iv had yet

I use it as a mobile platform for a 330 lb wood planer. Need trhe big tires for loose driveway stones. It works well. I spanned all the crossmember with a pair of 4x4's to spread the load. I wouldn't have trusted it without that. (1,000 lbs - yeah, right!)It came with two manufacturing flaws but a workaround/fix was easier than a trip back to HF. 1.) The welded-in steering pivot was the wrong size. And 2.) One side of the rear axle was missing the welded washer that positions the wheel. (One side was correct.) HF has two very similar models. This one has a slightly wider track and the frame has heavier cross-bracing.

Good buy for the money

You can't beat the price. I got 25% off for a smoking deal. The construction seems quite substantial. I was surprised by the strength of the undercarriage. My only complaints are one of the tires was flat upon receiving. Aired it up but flat the next day, obviously there is a hole in the tube. The other problem was that the instructions are quite confusing by the way that they identify the parts. The instructions never even mention the use of the lock washers. You need to use them along w/ the flat washers when putting on the tires or you will pop the tops off of the acorn nuts when tightening them down. Luckily I read about this in another persons review. I suspect that the only way you could put 1000 lbs. on this is if all the weight was spread out evenly and if you didn't need to move it after putting on the weight. The working weight limit is probably around 300-400 lbs. which is fine with me. I would recommend it to a friend.

Good but one thing...

An exceptional value especially at the $75 price point of the recent sale. However, one of the screws is too short; it's hard to explain briefly but when you put on the yoke, the screw/bolt that it comes with is 3/4" and it deeds to be at least 1". It's not a big deal and the proper bolt will only set you back 20 cents, but it is certain to drive you briefly insane. Also, there's some rust on the wheel bolts but nothing a little rustoleum can't handle. Anyway, it feels solid and it's an exceptional value even at the regular retail price $120.

NEW YORK, Apr. 24, 2008 -- The New York Stock Exchange today released its weekly program-trading data submitted by its member firms. The report includes trading in all markets as reported to the NYSE for Apr. 14-18.
The data indicated that during Apr. 14-18, program trading amounted to 24.2 percent of NYSE average daily volume of 3,705.6 million shares1, or 895.4 million program shares traded per day. This included program trading associated with the April 18 monthly expiration of stock-index options and futures.

The former West Ham United and England centre-half turned down the offer of a new contract at Brighton & Hove Albion in favour of a return to the Barclays Premier League with Leicester. He will sign a one-year deal on July 1 after his current contract expires.

Upson started his career at Luton Town and also played for Arsenal, Birmingham City and Stoke City, before joining Brighton after an initial loan spell. He won 22 international caps for England.
Upson is the second new signing to be announced by Leicester in the last 24 hours following the arrival of goalkeeper Ben Hamer.

Haiti's Sunrise Airways has announced new service between Port-au-Prince and Kingston, Jamaica.
The carrier will announce in the "coming weeks" more details on the start date and frequency for the new route, it says. It will operate 19-seat BAe Jetstream 32 aircraft on the route.
Sunrise received the approval for the flights from Haiti's foreign affairs ministry. "While we still have a few technical and regulatory hurdles to clear, this designation puts us in a strong position to launch service to Kingston within the next three months," says Philippe Bayard, president of Sunrise Airways. "For business travellers with interests in both cities, as well as leisure travellers keen on discovering the unique cultural, fine arts, dining, and nightlife attractions in two of the Caribbean's great capitals, this new service will prove ideal."
Sunrise began scheduled operations in December 2012.
It will be the only carrier operating between Port-au-Prince and Kingston, schedules in Innovata show.

A good week has gotten even better for Michael Bublé.
Days after announcing son Noah had returned home from a stay in the hospital following a scalding accident, the Canadian crooner, 39, shared happier news — he and his wife Luisana Lopilato are expecting their second child.
"Who's that in there?" Bublé asked his 22-month-old son in a video posted to his Facebook page. "Baby!" Noah replied, pointing to his mother's belly.
The singer and Argentinian actress Lopilato, 28, recently spoke of plans to expand their family.
"Me and my wife would really love to have three or four, five [kids], if we're blessed to do that," Bublé told PEOPLE in June. "And if we can't do it naturally, then we'll do it another way — we'll adopt."

Is Bernard Tomic having a laugh? If his tennis career falls flat, (and at the rate he is going, it's bound to), the Aussie could always pursue a career in Hollywood. After all, Australia may be desperate for Tomic become the next big thing, but Tomic himself appears less interested. That is, less interested in tennis. Tomic's ambitions currently seem to lie with becoming as notorious as possible. Perhaps he is eventually working his way up to the category of being 'famous for being famous,' and embark on a life of celebrity parties, paid appearances and reality TV shows. What else explains his recent behavior except a desire to be infamous? Let's take a quick look at what was Tomic's 2012, including his latest scandal.

book mmm....goood..
Hey all. I'm no stranger to ca but this is one of my first sketchbooks. I have made them before but this was literally years ago.
At the moment I'm deployed and I'm working on getting my portfolio built up a bit in my spare time. Any help would be great for crtiques. I really want to do something in character design for video games down the road. I have...a lot.. of work ahead. I'm going to put in all the work and then some because its a serious dream of mine. I love doing this.. nothing else to it.
So yeah.. I don't really have a scanner, but I brought my tablet with me and bought painter 11 before I got here and this is my first time using Painter. Most of what I'll show here will be in photoshop though, at least until I'm feeling more so comfortable with Painter.
I'm going to be working a lot with fundamentals in alot of these posts because I've been told thats something I really still need work in, especially anatomy.

Hey man. I was deployed and was trying to draw too. This was years ago though. What I would recommend is to get a camera. There were so many pictures that I liked to take. Then, if I get any time, I would just sketch them in my sketchbook. But, in your case, I think if you had the time, pulling out your comp and sketching in that would be much faster, and easier.
When would you have any spare time? I remember I had roughly only 5 - 6 hours to sleep, a night. And I usually take like 2 - 3 hours of that, to do things for myself.

It's snowing in the mountains, and for many that means it's time to hit the slopes. For others, it means basketball season is finally getting under way.
Whatever your sport, it's a good time to consider your knees and take steps to keep them healthy. Basketball and skiing can be especially hard on your knees, being some of the leading sports that lead to anterior cruciate ligament injuries.
According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, there are more than 200,000 ACL injuries each year with about 50 percent occurring in combination with damage to the meniscus, articular cartilage or other ligaments in the knee.
An upcoming, free training program offered by Providence St. Mary Medical Center and the YMCA can help keep you from joining the ranks of the injured, however.
ACL injuries are one of the most common sports injuries seen by Tim Conley, a physical therapist and certified athletic trainer at Providence St. Mary Outpatient Rehabilitation and an athletic trainer for DeSales Catholic High School.
"I've seen hundreds," he said, "absolutely hundreds."
An ACL injury is a tear to a ligament in the knee that connects the upper leg bone, or femur, to a lower leg bone, the tibia. It prevents the tibia from slipping too far forward and provides rotational stability to the knee.
Injuries can be mild, such as a small tear, or severe, requiring reconstructive surgery. Damage to this ligament greatly compromises the stability of the knee, and if not treated can lead to osteoarthritis.
An ACL injury can happen to anyone, but it frequently occurs during sports.
It can happen when your foot is firmly planted on the ground and another player or object suddenly hits your knee. But more than 70 percent of ACL injuries happen through non-contact means such as cutting, pivoting, rapidly slowing down, or landing from a jump. Sports such as basketball, soccer, volleyball and skiing are high risk for ACL injuries.
"Females seem to be at a much greater risk for ACL tears," says Mark McComas, physical therapist at Providence St. Mary Outpatient Rehabilitation.
"Research shows them to be four to eight times more likely to sustain an ACL injury than their male counterparts in the same sport. This is due to many possible factors including wider hips, smaller notch in the knee, hormones causing increased laxity, weak hamstrings and the tendency to hyperextend the knees."
A lot of research has been done to explore the causes and risk factors of ACL injuries, and through these studies researchers have developed exercise programs and trainings that can significantly lower the risk of ACL tears.
This has been a major area of interest for Conley. "I was seeing so many ACLs that I became really interested in researching it."
Conley studied and trained at the University of Puget Sound, then worked as a physical therapist and certified athletic trainer at Good Samaritan Hospital in Puyallup, was head athletic trainer for the Goodwill Games, and is now working at Providence St. Mary.
"I was interested in preventing ACL injuries because I know how hard they are to rehab," he says.
He started doing a prevention program at DeSales modeled after the Cincinnati Sportsmetrics program, using plyometrics and agility drills to build and maintain the stability of the knee.
"We've had tremendous success with the prevention," Conley said. "We used to see one to two ACL injuries every year, but since starting prevention we've only seen four ACL's in the last ten years, with three of these in one year."
With such great success in prevention, Conley is eager help others prevent ACL injuries as well.
The YMCA is partnering with Providence St. Mary to offer a free ACL injury screening and prevention program. It begins Dec. 19 with a screening from 9 to 11 a.m., followed by prevention training Dec. 20, 21 and 22 from 9 to 10 a.m. You can register at the YMCA front desk or wwymca.org/program-registration (click "register online").
The event is free and open to anyone who wishes to attend.
Parents and coaches are highly encouraged to come with their athletes and learn more about ACL injury prevention and the Sportsmetrics Warm-up for Injury Prevention and Performance program that will be introduced.
The WIPP program is free and can also be found on the Sportsmetrics website, sportsmetrics.org.
So enjoy your sports this season by keeping your knees healthy. As Conley says, "It's a lot easier to prevent an ACL injury than to rehab one."
Suzy Strickler, who has a bachelor of science in exercise science from Seattle Pacific University, is an Americops volunteer.
