Southwestern expecting largest incoming class
As Southwestern University welcomes its 15th president, Edward Burger, in July, the liberal arts college is also gearing up to welcome a record-breaking number of first-year students.
Dave Voskuil, Southwestern University vice president of enrollment services, said the school currently has about 500 students who have paid deposits to enroll in the school for the first time this fall, which is almost 150 more than the previous year.
"Our first-year student enrollment has grown, and it will be the largest first-year student class that we will have," Voskuil said. "Part of that is, of course, due to the implementation of football here at Southwestern. We are also adding women's lacrosse. And the rest of that is growth of our mainstream students. Even without football and women's lacrosse, we've had a nice growth in our first-year enrollment."
The addition of the two sports teams is expected to add about 100 new students, he said.
In 2010, the university adopted the Shaping Our Future strategic plan, which called for the school to increase its student body from 1,250 to about 1,500 in five years. This year's enrollment achieves that goal ahead of schedule, Voskuil said.
"One of the objectives in our strategic plan was to get to 1,500 students, and it looks like we will be close to 1,525 or so this fall. That's pretty significant," he said. "Our enrollment last fall was 1,394. That enrollment last fall was the largest ever. Obviously we leapfrogged right over 1,500, and we are where we want to be."
The increased student population is expected to help the school's budget, which in previous years had been affected by a transition to a tuition-based model from an endowment-revenue model, said Ron Swain, senior adviser to the president for strategic planning and assessment, in December 2011. Fewer students than expected in the 2011–12 school year contributed to a
$2.8 million shortfall.
Voskuil said the increased enrollment is also expected to help maximize the university's facilities.
"I think that particular size of enrollment, from my perspective, allows you to have very active programming across the campus," Voskuil said. "Whether it be athletic programs, sororities or fraternities, whether it be academic clubs and organizations or fine arts productions, you'll find that an enrollment of about that size enables each of those programs to have a sufficient number of students to make it worthwhile."
Voskuil said most areas of enrollment are increasing, including a jump from two or three international students to 14 this fall and an increase in transfer students, partly because of a grant from the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation.
"This year we had about 3,550 first-year applications and 270 transfer applications for the fall. Our applicant pool this year is about 750 more applications than last year," he said, adding that along with enrollment increasing, interest in the university in terms of applications has also increased. "We've struggled a couple of years with the numbers, but this year we blew the top off."
Southwestern awarded grant for science center
On June 17, Southwestern announced it had received a $1.15 million grant from The Brown Foundation Inc. of Houston that will help fund construction of the university's new science center.
The school began working on the center's design in December. Construction on the project that includes remodeling and adding 23,700 square feet of space to the existing Fondren-Jones Science Building could start in spring 2014, said Bob Mathis, associate vice president for facilities and campus services.
About $1 million from the grant will go toward the center's construction and allow the university to claim a $1 million challenge grant from the J.E. and L.E. Mabee Foundation of Tulsa, Okla., that was awarded in January.
The grant brings the total amount of money raised for the science center to $8 million, which will allow the first phase of the project to begin. Phase 1 is expected to be completed for the 2015–16 school year, Mathis said.
"Our objective is to provide a great science education," said Rick McKelvey, vice president for institutional advancement at Southwestern, after the school was awarded the Mabee Foundation challenge grant. "We have the faculty. We have the students. Now we want to have a contemporary facility that meets their level."
The project's second phase will include remodeling portions of the building constructed in 1954.
Once the expansion is completed, a new three-story entrance will be built on the northwest side of the building, which will have 103,000 square feet of classrooms, offices, seminar rooms and laboratories.
The entire project is expected to cost $24 million.
Edward Burger
Southwestern University president
What drew you to administration?
The past 12 years or so, I've been thinking much more broadly about education. I've been trying to think about not just what I do when I engage with my students, but what we can do as a community to work together—administrators, faculty, staff, alumni and students—to come together to offer the most meaningful, rich educational experience. That led a number of the initiatives that I actually drove both at Williams [College] and at Baylor [University]. It seemed like a natural progression. The idea being of an administrator, whatever that means, that's something that is not very meaningful to me. I see myself as an educator but at the next kind of level in a progression where I'm now working with an entire campus and a much larger, more diverse population of individuals as we all try to think about what education should mean in the 21st century.
What drew you to Southwestern?
When I was told that someone nominated me as a candidate and asked if I would consider it, I thought that it was a wonderful opportunity. As I discovered more about the actual curriculum and the Paideia Program in particular, the work with civic engagement and the idea that faculty are coming together and thinking across [departmental] lines, I found that very exciting, and I believe that to be the future.
How will you approach taking the leadership role at Southwestern?
One of the things I was stressing is how important it is to work collaboratively with faculty, staff, students and alumni to get all those voices to come together and hear those common themes, and then the leader of the institution should be able to listen to those common themes and pull those out and put them on [out in] front as we go forward. That's what I plan on doing, and that's what I've been doing in my intervening months trying to learn and get up to speed.
How do you see your role as president?
This gets back to how I define myself as a president [who will] continue my work as an educator. I see it as kind of a global educator. That will include engaging with students in the classroom, which I really look forward to doing, [and] working with faculty in adding my voice to a conversation about pedagogy and where education is moving in the 21st century.
I also see my role as spokesperson for Southwestern to try to attract individuals to look at Southwestern and to think about the elements of the institution that will keep it going in perpetuity.
How do you plan to continue to work on the university's integration into the city?
Engagement with Georgetown is extremely important.
We have to get to know each other, and then see where there are going to be exciting opportunities for us to get together and work on things.
I want to be engaged with the "town and gown" committees and the mayor, the former mayor, the president of the chamber of commerce. I think there really are lots of opportunities, and we have to think about things that are good for both Southwestern and Georgetown because when one benefits, the other benefits.

This plugin is great and fast when it comes to searching even with 30,000 posts. The problem i'm facing though is that it spikes the cpu for a few minutes every time a post is made.
When you have say 30,000 posts you also need to post 30,000 times. This means there is a near constant cpu spike which in turn slows down search since the entire vps is slow, negating the speed advantage.

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment raises the curtain for the Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD release of the Oscar-nominated animated film The Illusionist on May 10, 2011.
Press Release from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment
Culver City, Calif. – Sony Pictures Home Entertainment raises the curtain for the Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD release of the Oscar-nominated animated film The Illusionist on May 10, 2011. Directed by two-time Academy Award-nominated director Sylvain Chomet (Oscar Nominee, Best Animated Feature, The Illusionist, 2010; The Triplets of Belleville, 2003), The Illusionist is a rich and touching animated feature about the father-daughter relationship between an aging magician whose art is slowly becoming obsolete and a young orphan girl just at the start of life's journey. The script—originally penned by the late Jaques Tati (Mr. Hulot's Holiday, Mon Oncle) as a love letter to his daughter—serendipitously found its way into the hands of Chomet by way of his sole surviving daughter Sophie Tatischeff who thought his hand-drawn animation style would perfectly suit the film. The enchanting special features include a making of featurette and a rare look in to the animation process with line tests and progression sequences. The Illusionist will be available for the SRP of $38.96 (Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack).
The Illusionist Synopsis:An outdated, aging magician, forced to wander from country to country, city to city and station to station in search of a stage to perform his act meets a young girl at the start of her life's journey. Alice is a teenage girl with all her capacity for childish wonder still intact. She plays at being a woman without realizing the day to stop pretending is fast approaching. She doesn't know yet that she loves The Illusionist like she would a father; he already knows that he loves her as he would a daughter. Their destinies will collide, but nothing – not even the magic or the power of illusion – can stop the voyage of discovery.
Special Features Include:
* "The Making of The Illusionist" Featurette * The Animation Process: A rare look at the line tests and progression sequences o "Chasing the Rabbit" Line Test o "Window Shopping" Line Test o "Fish and Chips" Line Test o "Morning Routine" Line Test and Completed Scene Montage o Garden Party & Travel Before & After Animation Sequences o Steam, Splashes, Smoke and The Flying Scotsman Before & After Animation Sequences o Tatischeff Before & After Animation Sequences
The Illusionist has a run time of 80 minutes and is rated PG for thematic elements and smoking. Artwork and digital clips are available for download at www.sphepublicity.com. Visit Sony Pictures Home Entertainment on the Web at www.SonyPictures.com.

Fra Diamante
|This article relies largely or entirely upon a single source. (February 2012)
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (February 2012)
Fra Diamante (c. 1430 – c. 1498) was an Italian Renaissance painter.
Born at Prato, he was a Carmelite friar, a member of the Florentine community of that order, and was the friend and assistant of Filippo Lippi. The Carmelite convent of Prato which he adorned with many works in fresco has been suppressed, and the buildings have been altered to a degree involving the destruction of the paintings. He was the principal assistant of Lippi in the large frescoes at the east end of the cathedral of Prato. He also collaborated in the Funeral of St. Jerome panel in the same church.
In the midst of the work he was recalled to Florence by his conventual superior, and a minute of proceedings of the commune of Prato is still extant, in which it is determined to petition the metropolitan of Florence to obtain his return to Prato, a proof that his share in the work was so important that his recall involved the suspension of it. Subsequently he assisted Filippo in the execution of the frescoes in the cathedral of Spoleto, which Fra Diamante completed in 1470 after his master's death in 1469.
Lippi left a son ten years old (the future artist Filippino Lippi) to the care of Diamante, who, having received 200 ducats from the commune of Spoleto, as the balance due for the work done in the cathedral, returned with the child to Florence, and, as art biographer Giorgio Vasari says, bought land for himself with the money, giving but a small portion to the child. The accusation of wrongdoing, however, would depend upon the share of the work executed by Fra Diamante, and the terms of his agreement with Lippi. Fra Diamante must have been nearly seventy when he completed the frescoes at Spoleto, but the exact year of his death is not known.

I almost have greeblies! Gringat belongs to Gringat, the armor-less bit sort of belongs to Callan. I have a lot of inspiration from Gringat. Enjoy!!
About this creation
Name: Akara
Gender: Male
Species: Matoran
Race: Magnetism-Toa
Occupation: Toa, Toa Rebels Member, Weapon-smith
Title(s): Brother, That crazy ****** ******, Weapon addict
Element: Magnetism
Kanohi: Unknown, but it resembles the Avohkii
Alignment: Chaotic Good
MOC Status: Assembled and EPIC
Akara lives as a protector. Like his master Kryote, Akara will risk his life to save others. He has a dark side though, and sometimes ends up killing others. He wishes to one day be as great as Gringat, the elemental lord of air. He wields four blades, being able to change their shape and purpose with his powers. His armor, which was all black, is now silver and black. He crafted his own mask in the shape of the Avohkii, but what purpose it has is unknown.
I tried making Akara more custom, which I have made him fully custom. He is perfect, but only his skeletal system. I have finally given him fingers, in doing so I had to modify pieces. The chains are to remind him of his dark past. I'm on a piece shortage, do I had to improvise. He only uses 4 ball joint pieces, while most of my newer mocs have about 14-20.
I hope you enjoy my near-perfected self MOC!
Now, for a bit of fun!
Epic pose one!
Epic pose two!
Epic pose three!
Armor less Akara.
Gringat- *laughs like crazy*
Akara- Don't make me force choke you!
Gringat- That's only in the movies.
After Akara puts his armor back on..
Akara- *uses powers over magnetism to make Gringat choke himself*
Gringat- I THOUGHT YOU *cough* WERE *gasp* KIDDING!!! UNCLE!!
Sephiroth- Okay, you win! NOW LET GO OF ME!
Akara- HEY SANTA NUI! I GOT A BIGGER CAN OF COKE THAN YOU!!!
Gringat- *facepalm*
Akara- BYE!!!
And remember kids, don't use your powers to make people choke themselves! Just make them wedgie or slap themselves!

Quoting Overlord Galaxus ( Instant Noodles)
Sweet! Love the epic customness. Gosh! I really needd to get some FINGERS!!!!! Oh and I see that the Akara's feet only goes front and back? You can fix that and keep the leg armor by getting 2 ball joints(that goes all the way through.) and 2 H.F. grey sized-4 axle with the stopper. This would give more posability on of the feet.
As it said above, "SHORT ON BALL JOINTS!" I had to take apart past Akara :(...

Quoting Gringat the Repugnant
I'm not sure it's in character for Gringat to laugh at that really. More like him to cover his eyes and shout "UNCLEAN! UNCLEAN! KILL EEEET WITH FIIYAAH!" than laugh, really. Akara's build is looking pretty snazzy though ;)

Nice lesson for all them Clone Kiddies that try to use the force. I'm trying a similar thing with the lack of ball/socket joints on one of my most recent MOCs. Oh, and I'm pretty sure that Aridike could take on Akara. I'm more sure than that, I'm fairly certain he'd win. Can't really fight when you're frozen in time, now can you?

You may already know that it's important to routinely monitor your personal credit information (it is!) You want to be on the lookout for fraud, but you also want to track your own creditworthiness so you don't overpay when it comes time to borrow money.
Here, I'll describe as simply as possible how to check your own credit for free without using a service that requires a credit card and starts billing you if you don't cancel.
An honestly free credit score and report
I recommend Credit Karma — a truly free service for checking and monitoring your credit score. (I should disclose that after trying Credit Karma myself, I joined Money Under 30 with their affiliate program, meaning this site earns a small amount for referring new users. If you choose to support this site in that way — thanks!)
Credit Karma provides you with two credit scores — from TransUnion and Equinox — for free. Here's what their dashboard looks like:
From there you can dive into:
- A free FULL copy of your TransUnion credit report
- A credit report card that shows you how various factors — such as payment history, credit utilization, and account age — affect your scores
- Free debt management advice and recommendations to improve your score
Credit Karma is free because they can advertise things on their site like targeted credit card offers, so they don't have to charge you.
Sign up for Credit Karma here now (it's really free) or get the app:
For most people, CreditKarma is an ideal way to track your credit score. For the credit-obsessed, you may want to get proactive reports if anything on your credit report changes. If you're serious about tracking your credit, consider paying for a credit monitoring service, instead.
Getting all three free credit reports
CreditKarma provides you with one of your three credit bureaus (TransUnion). While this is adequate for reviewing your report and knowing what's on it, you want to check your credit reports from all THREE credit bureaus — Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion — at least once a year.
You can download a free copy of each of your three credit reports at annualcreditreport.com. It's mandated by law, but this is the only site where you can do this. This gets you your credit report—the detailed lists of your credit accounts, debt balances, and payment history — but will NOT show you your credit score, the number lenders use to evaluate your creditworthiness and compare you to other borrowers.
- Checking your credit will not cause your credit score to go down.
- Your credit report and credit score are related, but different. Hit up annualcreditreport.com for all three reports once a year, and Credit Karma for a free credit score and TransUnion report.
- These sites will ask for personal information like your social security number (SSN) — they have to in order to verify your identity and pull your credit information.
- Do beware of sites that require a credit card number to check your report or score — they will probably charge your card monthly unless you cancel.

Unfortunately, the FDNY is too busy to tell you how to avoid turning your 10-foot spruce into a 10-foot match.
In Long Beach, the good old Queen Mary and spruce Goose could finally sail again.
This is why the leaves of the spruce, the pine, and the juniper are always green.
It was said that all the dogs retired to the nests of spruce bough; it should have been all but one.
Straight ahead through the spruce the moaning rose and fell.
He does not look quite so spruce and independent as he did a little while ago.
The wind is lighter and you know what Fred said about the spruce probably doing better than the Balsam in a light breeze.
spruce is the most reliable and in general the best material.
I was making my way painfully through a spruce thicket when I heard a loud crash and crackling of dead branches.
To think of the spruce Cromwell Biron got to be bald and fat!
"evergreen tree," 1660s, from spruse (adj.) "made of spruce wood" (early 15c.), literally "from Prussia," from Spruce, Sprws (late 14c.), unexplained alterations of Pruce "Prussia," from an Old French form of Prussia. Spruce seems to have been a generic term for commodities brought to England by Hanseatic merchants (beer, board, leather, see spruce (v.)), and the tree was believed to have come from Prussia.
1590s, from the adjective meaning "to make trim or neat," from spruce leather (mid-15c., see spruce (n.)), which was used to make a popular style of jerkins in the 1400s that was considered smart-looking.

LAS CRUCES >> You know the guy. He's on his way to your cubicle or work station first thing Monday morning. Bob or Steve or Barry or whatever his name is, you'll notice he hangs around the copy machine longer than usual, burning up some of the company's valuable toner as copy after copy of the NCAA Tournament bracket are spit out by the machine. Then he'll appear behind you, holding an unmarked envelope (are those greenbacks inside?) and a copy of the bracket.
Yes, it's time to sharpen the old No. 2 — in case you have to make changes before you finalize your decisions with ink — and fill out your bracket. The tournament, after all, tips off on Tuesday.
Heck, you might even decide to pick New Mexico State to pull a first-round upset.
On Sunday, the NCAA placed the names of 68 teams into a postseason bracket and it's up to you to pick as many correctly as possible. If a few bucks are thrown into the mix, no harm, no foul, right?
Well, not exactly.
The first listed violation that the New Mexico Gaming Control Board reports is "engaging in gaming activity without valid license."
So there you have it, even just a few friendly bucks thrown into a basketball pool counts as illegal gambling.
The New Mexico Gaming Control Board has told me that, even if the amount of money gambled is small, it's still against the law.
I, of course, would never do such a thing (wink), but many people apparently love to put their money where their mouth is when it comes to March Madness. The FBI reports that approximately $2.5 billion is illegally wagered on March Madness each year.
We know that betting on the tournament in work pools is illegal, but even if you figure John Law has better things to do and that your probably safe, one more question remains: Should bosses allow such competitions, even if they are not for money?
As the Society for Human Resource Management points out, "Technology has fundamentally changed how we work and completely transformed how we goof off."
Millions of workers are expected to use their work computers to participate in office pools and watch games online.
CBS, Turner Sports and the NCAA websites are scheduled to stream more than 160 hours of games.
SHRM reports that Chicago-based consulting group Challenger, Gray & Christmas estimates that workers' interest in the 2014 NCAA basketball tournament could cost U.S. employers up to $1.2 billion of lost productivity. A Microsoft survey estimates that 50 million U.S. workers participate in office pools every year.
There is an argument, though, for a let-'em-play attitude.
Companies can get involved to make the office pool a fun event, which would also allow them to exert some control over the situation and try to ensure no money changes hands. I like the idea of a wall full of employees' brackets where everyone can check out how everyone else is doing and talk trash. Maybe a gift card or some prize could be given away to the winner.
Bracket tips
- Don't pick more than two No. 1 seeds to make the Final Four as three No. 1 seeds advancing to the Final Four has happened just four times in the 27-year history of the modern NCAA tournament.
- Don't pick crazy upsets, particularly late in the tournament.
- Beware of trendy picks.
- Pick Duke. Since Coach K led Duke to his first Final Four, he and the Blue Devils have participated in 25 NCAA tournaments. His team has played on the second weekend in 20 of those.
- Pick the highest of your Final Four seeds to win it all.
- Pick against your favorite team. If they win, you're too happy to care about a busted bracket. If they lose, at least you picked up a win.

English-language books (and one small French one) for readers who wish to read around the subject. Those who wish to go further into its expressly legal aspects will obtain excellent guidance from the bibliography appended to Roberts and Guelff's easily obtainable book of documents.
Bailey Sydney D., War and Conscience in the Nuclear Age ( London, 1987). Succinct survey of and commentary on international legislation, arms control, and disarmament as well as IHL, with the UN very much to the fore.
Best Geoffrey, Humanity in Warfare: The Modern History of the International Law of Armed Conflicts ( London, revd edn., 1983). Pioneer work which remains useful chiefly for its wealth of historical examples from mid- eighteenth century to the end of the Second World War.
Bull Hedley, The Anarchical Society. A Study of Order in World Politics ( London, 1 1977). A famous and influential book, the second of whose three main sections examines why international law is made and what are the conditions of its efficacy.
Cassese Antonio, International Law in a Divided World (English trans., Oxford, 1986). Includes a lively chapter on 'International legal regulation of armed conflict' as one of the 'crucial issues of today'.
Clark Ian, Waging War: A Philosophical Introduction ( Oxford, 1988). An excellent brief analysis of the war phenomenon; from which all else proceeds.
Donelan Michael, Elements of International Political Theory ( Oxford, 1990). Thoughtful introduction to main lines of thought about the relations to one another of States in peace and war, with the ethics and laws of the latter often in view.
Draper G. I. A. D., The Red Cross Conventions ( London, 1958). Strictly speaking, one of the technical works not supposed to be included, but it is a surprisingly readable exegesis and wise commentary by the UK's leading professional expert of the post-war period.
Falk Richard, Kolko G., and Lifton R. J., Crimes of War ( New York, 1971). Handy source-book of documents on principles and laws, together with contemporary material on the US involvement in Vietnam.
Forsythe David, Humanitarian Politics: the International Committee of the Red Cross ( Baltimore, Md., 1977). Unique study of how the ICRC actually works within the international community, providing much illustrative matter on the years since 1945.
Howard Michael, Restraints on War: Studies in the Limitation of Armed Conflict ( Oxford, 1979); also War and the Liberal Conscience ( London 1978 and a revd edn., New Brunswick, NJ, 1986). Restraints gave IHL one of its earliest British exposures to the non-specialist public. The other book is a searching scrutiny of the ills proceeding from muddle-headedness about the place of armed force in the relations of States.

First, I want to clarify that I'm currently using the ASP.NET MVC's
Model entities as
ViewModel because my project is based on MVCVM, so I'm not simply confusing the two.
Anyway MVC automatically creates me a few attributes for ViewModel entities like the following (from the wizard, localized in Italian)
public class LoginModel
[Display(Name = "Nome utente")]
public string UserName { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Password")]
public string Password { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Memorizza account")]
public bool RememberMe { get; set; }
Replacing the
Display attribute with
[Display(Name = LoginViewModelResources.lblUsername)] causes compilation error: "Argument must be a constant expression, typeof expression or matrix creation expression". In a few words, a property reference is a no-no.
The Razor view uses tags such as the following for generating HTML
@Html.LabelFor(m => m.UserName)
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.UserName)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.UserName)
How can I localize the ViewModel in order to display the correct messages at front-end?

Crosman Marlin Cowboy in action
February 18 2012 at 3:15 PM
Crosman Forum Member
from IP address 220.127.116.11
I just uploaded a video to
that demonstrates the accuracy of the Crosman LAM 350 "Marlin Cowboy" alongside the Daisy 1938b "Red Ryder." Please have a look and leave a comment on youtube.
In a continuous and unedited clip, I go 6 for 6 shooting the Cowboy at a classic #2 pencil from 15 feet. Admittedly, they're not all destructive/direct hits. But, the pencil moves with every nick and is split twice in the 6 shot sequence.
I posted the video in response to a couple comments I read online in which the reviewer completely misses the target and/or shoots a poorly spread grouping, then says the gun has an accuracy problem. I saw or read about them shooting offhand, outdoors, in poor light, etc. and some even admit their eyes aren't that good anymore or they may have flaws in their marksmanship.
My thought was that pencil killing is more interesting than paper target groups, so maybe there'd be more views. And, since I did/do not have a nice rest handy and lever-action spring airguns would be slow to demonstrate on one anyway...I decided to shoot from a convenient position that is a tad more stable than offhand. I'm shooting from the kitchen counter to the laundry room in my house, leaning sideways into the counter with my elbows on it. I called it semi-supported.
Besides cans, golf balls on tees and pencils (my current favorite), what other objects do you plink by pellet or BB?

"the timer les refers to seems quite expensive and needs to be imported from the uk. i'll give it a go using the new lpl digital timer i just got. after i win the lottery i'll get the dedicated timer."
If you are handy building electronic kits, here is a link to a discussion here on a F-stop timer kit (about $100US).
I built the kit and it works very well, has some nice features including a test strip mode. I had just starting doing things in f-stops using a chart and this is much easier.
In reference to the microwave - I remember seeing a documentary film about Ansel Adams. He tore an 11X14 test print in half and used the microwave to dry. I have never tried it but it seems like a good idea --as long as my wife won't mind

What I expected to be a good time ended up being absolutely incredible and one of the most special shows I've been to this year.
My friend and I were running a bit late to the show and ended up getting there about 5 minutes before the show was supposed to start. We get in the venue and find out that our seats were roped off. After asking a couple of employees what the deal was, we were told to go to guest services to get our tickets switched out. The people in guest services explained that Kanye had "had a dream to switch the stage setup" which led to our section being blocked off because it was now behind the stage. Well Kanye's dream ended up paying off big time for me because our seats got switched from the balcony to the first row above the floor. I was rendered completely speechless. I went from having nosebleed tickets in South Boston that cost $40 to having prime seats right off the floor that were going for $180 handed to me for free. Needless to say, I would like to thank Kanye's dreaming for making this possible and may he have many more brilliant visions in his sleep for years to come.
The shock hadn't quite worn off when Kendrick Lamar took the stage about 5 minutes later. Kendrick Lamar has become my favorite modern rapper over the past year following the release of the near-masterpiece good kid, m.A.A.d city, so naturally I was pumped to get the chance to see him live. His live performance was about what I expected as he displayed his rare skill on the mic and had a lot of energy while doing so. His flow is a lot less distinct live, but it doesn't really take that much away because his delivery is still fluid and razor-sharp. He made great use of a live band that made the songs distinctly different from the studio versions. The band made the mellow moments more subtle and the upbeat moments more powerful. The 1st verse of "m.A.A.d city" particularly benefited from the band as the guitar intro made the dropping of the beat and the start of that monstrous verse that much more intense. It did irk me that he didn't play some of his songs all the way through (I'll give him a pass on "Sing About Me/I'm Dying of Thirst" because it's almost 11 minutes long, but the other ones he cut short could've have easily been played all the way through) and that he used a backing track instead of actually rapping on some of the really fast parts of his songs (the end of "Backseat Freestyle", "Poetic Justice".) While not being quite as impressive as his studio material, Kendrick Lamar is still a damn good performer who has claimed his rightful place at the top of the hip-hop hierarchy.
After a decently long wait, Kanye West came storming onto the stage. I've only recently became a fan of his music thanks to his newest record Yeezus. My enjoyment of Yeezus led me to reevaluate his discography and realize that I'd been missing out on some special music over the past decade. I really didn't know what to expect from his live show, but safe to say as soon as he went on I went into an almost-trance like state. Say what you want about his antics away from music, but Kanye West is a fucking showman. He absolutely tore up the TD Garden with an almost two-hour set with consistent energy and some of the most elaborate stage setups I've ever seen. The set was broken into five parts: fighting, searching, falling, rising and finding. Each part of the setlist was accompanied with songs that West felt fit these themes which gave the set an incredible flow all the way through. The set went from a pissed-off intro ("On Sight", "New Slaves") to a dreary mid-section ("Coldest Winter", "Heartless") before ending on a very upbeat note ("Good Life", "Bound 2".) The twists and turns in tempo the set took made it a roller-coaster ride of emotional depth unlike anything I've ever seen before. Adding to the dense, grandiose nature of the setlist, was the bonkers stage setup and theatrics he had. The stage was gigantic with a long ramp that extended about halfway onto the floor, a giant circular video screen on-top and a huge mountain backdrop that served as the focal point of the stage setup. At various points of the show, West had these veiled women wearing flesh-colored bodysuits march around the stage and even pick him up during "I Am a God". It was definitely a strange thing to have as a part of show, but it added this really eerie and unique atmosphere to the performance. There was a lot of other cool side things throughout that further added to the spectacle including the pyro/light show during "All of the Lights", a yeti-like creature complete with red-glowing eyes coming out during "Hold My Liquor" and of course, a man dressed as Jesus coming out during "Jesus Walks" to pray with him (Jesus made another another appearance at the end of the set as all the veiled women and West sat in a line and bowed to him at the top of the mountain.) West capped off the night by doing one of the coolest things I've ever seen at a show by giving someone in the crowd his mic when he was walking off the stage. Kanye is an over-the-top guy with an unlimited amount of confidence in his art and his live performance perfectly conveys that. I'll happily dole out big bucks to see Yeezus Christ again in the future. He may not be an actual god, but his performance last night sure as hell was godlike.
Random Side Notes:
-When walking to the show, my friend and I heard a taxi blaring "Angel of Death" by Slayer. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
-West performed most of the set wearing various bedazzled masks. Because of this, these highly intoxicated girls that were sitting next to me thought it was an imposter and kept yelling "fuck you" and "that's not Kanye!" before eventually leaving and never coming back about 45 minutes into the set. 15 minutes or so later, West ripped the mask off and didn't play with one for the rest of the night. This provided me with a lot of entertainment because it was blatantly clear long before he ripped the mask off that it was in fact Kanye West performing, not an imposter. Cocaine is a hell of a drug...
- About 15-20 minutes after Kendrick Lamar got off-stage, an African-American lady that was sitting next to me randomly stated to a worker at the TD Garden that Kanye wasn't on-stage yet because he was running on "colored people time" and that "black people are late to their own funeral".
-The same lady kept telling my friend and I that we could get free drinks from her brother that worked at the venue. I wish I had a dollar for every time she told me to "go see Barry in section 20, he'll hook you up".
-There was this random guy on the floor who was dancing like a maniac throughout . I don't if he was intoxicated or just super energetic, but this dude was GROOVING like nobody's business for a long-ass time without stopping. God bless that man, I've never seen more colorful or spastic dancing in my entire life.
Kendrick Lamar 8.5/10
Kanye West 9.5/10

Bryan Cranston Writing 'Breaking Bad' Memoir; More 'Better Call Saul' Characters Revealed
Posted on Thursday, April 3rd, 2014 by Angie Han
Breaking Bad is over, but it's far from forgotten. Case in point: AMC is currently working on the spinoff show Better Call Saul, about Bob Odenkirk's sleazy lawyer character. Though most of the characters revealed so far are familiar ones, we now have details on some of the new people that'll populate the show.
Meanwhile, Bryan Cranston isn't quite ready to close the book on Walter either. The actor is set to write a memoir about his years on the show, as well as his "life and work" in general. Hit the jump for more details on both projects.

Honda Accord
I have been attempting to replace the rear brake pads on my 2004 honda accord. I have had no problems up until the point at which I try to press the piston in on the caliper so that it will fit over the new pads and it will not budge. I have tried everything. My last attempt was using an 8" C-clamp and a wood shim on the back of the caliper (unusual shape). The parking brake is not on and I have removed the cap to the brake fluid resevoir. I am at a loss. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it.
July 4, 2006.

You did not mention if you had tried both sides of the car. If one is not stuck then it's caliper time. If both are stuck then maybe the parkbrake cable is to tight. When all else failes get a haynes manual. Did the piston move at all? I just remembered that once I had that problem with bonded pads. Turned out that they were just to thick. Anyway post back and tell us what you found, so that others may be helped. Thanks for your time and good luck. Vandragon

The rear calipers on hondas screw in because of the parking brake set up. You can go the the local auto parts store and pick up the tool to push the calipers in pretty cheap. The tool pushes the caliper in and turns it at the same time. If u notice the piston is solid with grooves in it. The tool fits in where the pads would be placed and it has things on it that fit in the grooves to push and turn the piston at the same time.

Thanks from all runtich, I haven't worked on any late model honda's. Now when my daughter ask for brakes on he car i'll know what to do. You can teach an old dog new tricks, just don't expect him to remember how the next time you ask.

Screwing in the calipers worked like a charm. You don't even need tool, all you need is a pair of needlenose pliers.

Buraima's Group
Nowadays she owns a cow with a calf. It yields fresh milk every morning which she distributes to her regular customers. Buraima remembers how, being a young lady in 1971, she started with the purchase of her first cow, in which she put big hopes, and spent the last savings in her family budget. At that time, she and her husband were a young couple and her husband was farmer. Since that time, milk products bring in a significant portion of Buraima's income.
Thanks to those financial assets, she raised three kids, helped with their employment and finished major repairing at her house. She invests her monthly income of about $215 back into her business. This time she needs some financial assistance in purchasing one more cow. In future she dreams of having a large fruit orchard.

Fight Aficionado
Put a fork in USA Boxing. A shameful performance. What happened to the shakeup they promised after 2008? They hired a head coach 6 weeks before the Olympics began and he wasn't even eligible to work the corner. He was shouting instructions from the stands. It's a comical failure if you don't want the Americans to win.Posted August 8, 2012 6:57 pm

Since the break up of the Soviet Union the USA has moved right down the pecking order in amateur boxing. Even the Cubans have been hit hard by that too. I thought the USA were lucky to get a bronze at the last Olympics too.. Wilder only won his bout against the Moroccan on countback and it could easily have gone the other way.Posted August 8, 2012 7:35 am
"You don't get good..unless you fight good fighters……….BILLY CONN" – maybe someone should tell Wilder this true statement.Posted August 8, 2012 5:43 am
I gotta tell you…..UK amateur Boxing has been a growing concern for more than the last ten years…and it shows at the world championships
UK is not Cuba…nor Eastern Europe….but UK is definately a power in years to come…..due to the amateur program that is rolling….for years now…..
I guess that the transfer from amateur to Pro is not so great a stretch as …say …Canada…or Cuba
