Comments about Aramis Surface Cologne:
My husband, who recently passed away, wore this until it was discontinued and it brings back sooo many memories of when we were first dating and married. We looked for years to find something that was even close to this product and never found anything. I/we loved Surface so much, it was perfect for any occasion, the smell was amazing and I loved how it lingered on all my stuff after he had been wearing it and hugged me or held me. You really, really, need to bring this back, I would buy bottles of it even though he is gone just because it became his "signature smell" and would love to just have it around.

The Voice
Miley Cyrus Refuses to Perform on The Voice Because of Christina Aguilera (VIDEO)
It's a battle of the former Disney stars! Miley Cyrus is going toe-to-toe with Christina Aguilera by refusing to appear on the reality TV show Christina helped make famous: NBC's The Voice.
Here's the latest: The Voice reportedly wants Miley, bright, shiny star that she is, to grace the current season's big finale. Landing the "Wrecking Ball" singer would obviously be a major score for the show and, personally, we'd love to see how many comparisons Blake Shelton could draw between platinum Miley and equally platinum Adam Levine in the course of the episode. Unfortunately, though, Miles reportedly won't have anything to do with the popular series!
Her beef, funnily enough, is with a judge who isn't even on the show. Christina's taking a two-season break from the reality TV competition as she stays busy planning a wedding and making a baby. Even so, Miley still wants nothing to do with The Voice and has supposedly turned down numerous offers to perform.
Where's the bad blood coming from? The video above has all the deets so stay tuned for more. Here's a hint: Miley's feels got chapped after something she claims Ms. Aguilera said about her onstage wardrobes.
What do you make of the news? Think it's being blown out of proportion or is Miley in the right to refuse?

Jermichael Finley Lives!
Green Bay Packers tight end Jermichael Finley is up and about after suffering a neck injury in Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns that put him in intensive care.
that I have been transferred out of the intensive care unit and that I have full feeling in my arms and legs. As importantly,
— Jermichael Finley (@JermichaelF88) October 22, 2013
I was able 2 walk to & from the shower today, which was badly needed after yesterday's victory! Thank u again 4 the support, and Go Packers!
— Jermichael Finley (@JermichaelF88) October 22, 2013
Still not finishing his thoughts, though.
Anyway, Chris Mortensen is saying Finley has a bruised spinal cord. And we're sure you want to know when Finley is going to be back.
Well, the answer to that is probably no time soon.
On Monday, coach Mike McCarthy said the 26-year-old tight end is "very upbeat, very positive."
"At the end of the day," McCarthy said, "we're going to do what's in the best interest of Jermichael Finley."
The Packers will have to turn to Andrew Quarless, AKA God's Gift's, Bradon Bostick and, probably to a much lesser extent, Jake Stoneburner to catch balls at the tight end position.
Hopefully, James Jones will be back this week to help mitigate the loss of Finley.
Monty McMahon is one of the founders of Total Packers. He is probably the most famous graduate of UW-Oshkosh next to Jim Gantner.
This is not sounding good. I get the feeling we're going to be hearing how doctors are recommending he quit football.
Bruised spinal cord. He should retire. How can you take the chance….Give Quarless a chance. Good kid from a few towns over from me. If not Jones & Cobb will be back by the time it matters.
Augur by trade are we? That would explain your disconnect with tge current reality; "God's Gifts" is Quarless, the number 2 TE, Finley, the #1 TE, is YOTTOman. Why would the Packers release their #2 TE when their #1 is down for a significant amount time?
Furthermore, a spinal chord bruise to a TE is a significantly different injury than a broken cervical vertebra to a safety; Finley's career is likely not over unless he chooses to walk away.
Reports are 4-6 weeks. As long as there is no swelling and no sign of microle fractures, my guess he will be cleared to play before seasons end. Now whether him and the team decides to let that happen we shall see.
Finley is all about the money. He isnt going to walk away unless he has to. This whole act this year about turning a new leaf is just a show put on by him and his agent. NOONE changes that much in a year. Really very few people really ever change.
Now I havent cared since his whole dog and pony show only helps the Pack (well and him).
But if you truly believe Finley is going to walk away form $10-12 Mill a year if he is cleared to play and told this injury will NOT increase his chances of paralysis, you are nuts.
Who said anything about paralysis, Doc? I thought it was just a stinger? Surely those can't relegate you to a mutualistic life of straw- and rolly-chair-dependency.
Additionally, for someone who felt the need to climb atop his soapbox in defense of individuals with maladies, specifically injuries (Quitler) and diseases (your progeny), your reaction to Finley's (among others) injury is quite callous.

Not everyone loses their plug, and most that do is way less dramatic and will be chunks of mucus rather than a glob. But, this could be that the baby is getting bigger, or it could be that you're baby is dropping. Both is fine.posted 07/03/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
Doesn't mean anything, except for the baby is getting bigger and can push harder now. You have at least 3 weeks left of pregnancy if you are lucky more so your baby will be really healthy and able to breathe perfectly when he is born. Just be patient, its probably more of a sign of labor when you have cramp like pains, that would be very mild contractions, and you are more likely to lose your mucus plug (which means you are dilating) before you go into labor though it can happen later.posted 07/02/2010 by a BabyCenter Member

American Frontier
TELL ME A STORY... OF AMERICA'S FRONTIER.Traveling Kansas' Glacial Hills Scenic Byway and Frontier Military Historic Byways
This is a three-day itinerary originating in Kansas City to experience two of Kansas' Byways. The itinerary loops north to the Glacial Hills Scenic Byway before veering south for the Frontier Military Historic Byway, and then returns to Kansas City. Suggested stops and detours help tell the story of these two distinctive byways and the rich heritage of the region. (Download PDF)
Day One: Glacial Hills Scenic Byway
Directions: from Kansas City, drive US-73 North to begin your journey in Leavenworth, anchoring both the Glacial Hills Scenic Byway and the Frontier Military Scenic Byway. Continue north to Atchison, then connect with K-7 north to White Cloud. (Note: As this itinerary travels the byway route in both a northbound and southbound direction, you may want to change the order of the "must see" activities along the byway.) Total distance: 126 miles
The Story - Glacial Hills Scenic Byway (63 miles)
As Ice Age glaciers receded in northeast Kansas, they left behind cliffs and rock-strewn valleys explored by the Lewis and Clark in 1804. The expedition noted the remains of a French fort near what is now Leavenworth, fired a cannon to celebrate Independence Day near Atchison, and saw an abandoned Kanza Indian village near Doniphan. Little did they dream, however, of the thousands that would soon follow, including the Pony Express riders who crossed Doniphan County prairies en-route to San Francisco.
1 Four State Lookout
Loess (wind-borne silt left by the glaciers) forms huge cliffs along the Missouri River at White Cloud, the northern-most destination on this byway. Located on Third Street, three blocks north of Main Street, a scenic overlook provides a spectacular view of the river. On a clear day, from the platform you can see four states: Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri.
Directions: From White Cloud, travel south on K-7 to Troy (19 miles)
2 Troy
An eighteen-site, self-guided walking tour around the Doniphan County Courthouse Square District includes the 27-foot sculpture of an Indian chief carved from a bur oak log in Troy. Don't miss a meal at the Home Place Restaurant, with daily home-cooked specials and pie sold in square pieces. The self-guided Doniphan County Historic Barn Tour features eight barns, five of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Famous People:
In 1859, Abraham Lincoln gave his renowned Cooper Union speech on the campaign trail in Troy, Atchison, Doniphan and Leavenworth.
Directions: From Troy, continue traveling south on K-7 to Atchison. Rejoin the Byway at US-73 (19 miles)
3 The Story - Atchison
In the mid-1800s it was not unusual to see four or five steamboats anchored daily at the Atchison levee. Stagecoach and freight lines quickly followed, transporting mail, goods and people from east to west. By the late 1800s, Atchison was booming as the eastern terminus of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad along with seven other railroad lines. Scores of beautiful Victorian-style mansions built by the wealthy, and a commercial district quickly rose near the river. Manufacturing flourished, as did banking and milling. Atchison's growth stagnated when construction of a bridge over the Missouri River was delayed, hampering trade that eventually moved to Kansas City and St. Joseph.
The Byway Experience Today
Stop by the Atchison Visitor's Center for information and a museum in the restored Santa Fe Depot; trolley tours depart from here daily. Atchison has 20 sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places including the Evah C. Cray Historical Home Museum, a magnificent 25-room Victorian mansion open for tours. While in town, tour the Lewis and Clark Riverfront Pavilion and Independence Creek site. Stroll the downtown commercial district for easy walking to many locally-owned shops and restaurants. Atchison is also considered one of the state's most haunted cities in the 1997 book "Haunted Kansas"; each September and October, the town commemorates this distinction with haunted tours and numerous ghostly activities. Benedictine Monks opened a small school in 1858, followed by the Benedictine sisters who founded a school for the townspeople. The joined schools are now Benedictine College, named as one of the best colleges in the U.S. Visit St. Benedict's Abbey Church and the historic college campus.
4 The Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum
Home of the famous pilot's grandparents, Amelia Earhart was born and lived here until age ten. House tours are available, and a festival every July celebrates her birth.

Directions: from Atchison, travel south on US-73 to Leavenworth (24 miles)
Overnight in Leavenworth at the Prairie Queen Bed & Breakfast, named for one of the riverboats that docked in town. Visit Leavenworth Landing Park, and walk along the former river-landing site before enjoying dinner at a locally-owned restaurant.
Day Two: The Frontier Military Historic BywayLeavenworth • Louisburg • Pleasanton • Fort Scott • Pittsburg • Baxter Springs
Because of the length of this byway - the longest in the state at 167 miles - the itinerary spans two days and suggests several detours before returning to Kansas City. (Note: As the loop tour traverses the byway in both northbound and southbound directions, you may want to change the sequence when visiting suggested attractions along the route.)
The Story - Frontier Military Historic Byway (167 miles)
Moses Grinter and his Delaware Indian wife, Annie, settled in a house overlooking the historic Delaware crossing on the Kansas River to farm. Operating a ferry and trading post, the Grinters ferried troops traveling between Forts Leavenworth and Scott and sold goods to the Lenape (Delaware) Indians who had been relocated as part of the Indian removal policy. Stories of frontier life like this were common up and down the river as troops, trying to keep peace on the Permanent Military Indian Frontier, occasionally got into skirmishes with the indigenous population. After 1820, however, there were skirmishes of a different type - free versus slave status for new states. The violent unrest along the Kansas (free) and Missouri (slave) border between 1855 - 1861 was called "Bleeding Kansas" by the Eastern papers.
The Byway Experience Today
The byway is the main north-south connector along Kansas' eastern state boundary. Many of the sites and communities on, adjacent to, or near the Byway are part of Freedom's Frontier National Heritage Area, a nationally designated region interpreting the struggles for freedom. Included on or near the byway are: Grinter Place Historic Site; Shawnee Mission State Historic Site; Merriam Historic Plaza; Shawnee Town; 1950's All Electric House at the Johnson County Museum of History; Legler Barn Museum; Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art in Overland Park; Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead; and Marais des Cygnes Wildlife Area.
1 The Story - Fort Leavenworth
Disobeying orders to build on the east bank of the Missouri River, Col. Henry Leavenworth built an Army post on the more strategically situated west bank of the river. Here he established Fort Leavenworth, the chief base of operations on the frontier to help protect the growing numbers of wagon trains traveling west along the Santa Fe, Oregon and other trails as well as assist with the settlement of Indian tribes along the Western plains onto reservations. The African-American "Buffalo Soldiers" of the U.S. 10th Cavalry were formed here in 1866. The United States Disciplinary Barracks was founded in 1875 and General William T. Sherman founded here what is now the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College. The fort is the oldest active army post west of the Mississippi River.
The Byway Experience Today
Inside the Fort: Buffalo Soldier Monument; Frontier Army Museum featuring the story of Lewis and Clark and displays and stories of the wagons and people traveling west; Memorial Chapel; The Rookery, the oldest residence in Kansas. Take a beautiful drive along the river, past post housing.
Famous People:
The Ft. Leavenworth Hall of Fame includes Omar Bradley, Dwight Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur, George Patton, William Westmoreland and Colin Powell.
2 The Story - Leavenworth
The community that grew around the fort, Leavenworth, was founded as the first city of Kansas. The Delaware, Kansa and Osage Indian tribes made their home in the area. Many of the streets of Leavenworth are named after them and other local tribes. As the town flourished, homes were built and commercial ventures began including the amusement company built by the "Carousel King," Charles Wallace Parker.
The Byway Experience Today
Carroll Mansion, an imposing Queen Anne Victorian residence, offers tours by costumed guides. At the C.W. Parker Carousel Museum, you can ride a restored Parker carousel. Performing Arts Center, formerly the Hollywood Theatre designed by the famous Boller Brothers, hosts performances by the local theatre group. Visit the National Cemetery. The Historic Wayside Walking Tour features 13 interactive locations in the riverfront downtown area, or take a trolley tour for additional stories about historic Leavenworth. A driving tour of historic districts and local architecture is also available.
Famous People:
Robert Stroud, known as "The Bird Man of Alcatraz", George "Machine Gun" Kelly and, more recently, pro football player Michael Vick, each spent time at the U.S. Penitentiary - a 1906 Beaux Arts building with walls 40 feet above, and 40 feet below ground. Buffalo Bill Cody spent part of his youth in Leavenworth and his parents are buried here. Melissa Etheridge has honored her hometown by establishing a scholarship at the high school, performed a benefit for a new park and donated money to refurbish the Performing Arts Theatre.

Stagecoach rides are held twice a month; many spring, summer and fall activities are scheduled. The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
4 Worth a Detour: John Brown Museum State Historic Site in Osawatomie
This historic log cabin, home to abolitionists Samuel and Florella Adair, was once a station on the Underground Railroad. The Battle of Osawatomie was fought at the site of the park when abolitionist John Brown - Florella's half brother - and his men tried to defend Osawatomie from pro-slavery activists. The site, operated by the Kansas Historical Society and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, pays tribute to this pioneer family and the events that occurred here. Also in Osawatomie are four bridges on the National Register of Historic Places.
5 The Story - Overland Park
Overland Park is among one of the country's first truly planned cities. It traces its roots back to 1905 with the arrival of its founder William B. Strang Jr., who envisioned a self-sustaining, well-planned "park-like" community. Built on the bluffs close to Kansas City, Strang chose the name Overland Park from the name of the trail that ran through it - the Overland Trail. Before his death in 1921, Strang established housing developments, an interurban railroad and an airfield as well as quality schools, stores, and entertainment. The original limestone car barn at 79th Street and Santa Fe Drive now houses a furniture store and photograph museum depicting its historical significance. The Carriage House, located in Santa Fe Commons Park, is the home of the Overland Park Historical Society. Both buildings are open for tours and are located within the Downtown Overland Park Business District.
Don't Miss:
Overland Park Arboretum & Botanical Gardens; dinner and show at the New Theatre Restaurant.
Directions: From Overland Park, continue south on the Frontier Military Historic Byway (US-69) to Louisburg (23 miles)
6 The Story - Louisburg
When the first French explorers came across the site of what is now Louisburg, they found forested hills and wide, flat prairie. It was then home to a variety of Plains Indians - Shawnee, Miami, Pottawotomie and the Confederated Tribes of Wea, Piankashaw, Peoria, and Kaskaskia. By 1866, a settlement known as St. Louis began to form along the banks of Wea Creek, generally referred to as Rabbit Creek by long time residents. The prairie supplied settlers the fertile ground for wheat and other grains. Soon mills and grain dealers came to deal with the farmers and that led, inevitably, to the arrival of the railroads. In an effort to avoid confusion with the better-known St. Louis on the banks of the Mississippi River, the name was changed to Louisburg around 1871 or 1872.
Don't Miss:
Louisburg Cider Mill and Country Store; Middle Creek Theatre. Rest Area at Trading Post exit between Louisburg and Pleasanton has interpretive boards, a walking trail, covered picnic areas and public restrooms.
Directions: From Louisburg, continue south on the Frontier Military Historic Byway (US-69) to Pleasanton (33 miles)
7 The Story - Marais des Cygnes Massacre Near Pleasanton
Battles between abolitionists and proslavery factions continued from 1854 - 1861 to determine whether Kansas would enter the Union as a free or slave state. The Missouri Compromise drew a line westward from the Mississippi River, to equally divide free and slave states. When the Kansas-Nebraska Act nullified the Compromise, the territory's future status was in the hands of the settlers, who voted to make Kansas a free state. This further aggravated tensions between the North and the South, ushering in the Missouri-Kansas Border War and, eventually, the Civil War. In 1858, proslavery leader Charles Hamilton, crossed from Missouri into Hamilton, Kansas, capturing eleven free state men, then gunned them down. Five were killed. The Marais des Cygnes Massacre was one of the most violent of the Bleeding Kansas clashes. The shootings shocked the nation, and abolitionist John Brown soon visited the site and began construction of a fort. One of the largest cavalry engagements of the Civil War was also in this area. Confederate General Sterling Price, in an effort to capture Missouri for the Confederacy, was soundly beaten near Kansas City and retreated south. Chased by a Union cavalry division, Price's army was attacked as they camped on the Marais des Cygnes River then again by Union brigades as they prepared to cross Mine Creek. In one of the largest mounted cavalry engagements of the war, the rapid attack and firepower of 2,600 Union Army troops defeated more than 7,000 Confederate soldiers in about 30 minutes.
The Byway Experience Today
Marais des Cygnes Massacre State Historic Site and National Historic Landmark includes interpretation and a museum in the Hadsall House; Mine Creek Battlefield Historic Site has a visitor center with hands-on exhibits, living history program and 2.6 mile walking trail with informational signs.

Day Three: Continuing along the Frontier Military Historic Byway
Fort Scott • Pittsburg • Baxter Springs8 The Story - Fort Scott
Established by the US Army from 1842 - 1853 to assist with the protection of the Permanent Indian Frontier, troops guarded caravans on the Santa Fe Trail and patrolled the frontier territory. The government abandoned the buildings in 1853. Local settlers later purchased them for commercial uses, and Fort Scott became one of the largest cities in the Kansas Territory. Between 1854 and 1861, however, violent unrest erupted along the Missouri-Kansas border. The national controversy to extend slavery to new states divided Fort Scott. The infamous James Montgomery led raiders in numerous incidents in and around Fort Scott. After Kansas entered the Union as a free state and the Civil War broke out, Fort Scott was re-established to recruit and train black soldiers. Strategically vital during the Civil War as a supply depot, training center and recruitment station, the fort was temporarily captured by Southern General Sterling Price, but James Lane launched an offensive behind him, leading to the Sacking of Osceola. This battle later became the basis of the 1976 movie "The Outlaw Josey Wales."
The Byway Experience Today
Fort Scott National Historic Site has self-guided and cell phone tours, an audio visual program at the visitors center, 20 historic structures, parade grounds and restored tall-grass prairie. The National Cemetery is one of the original 14 designated by Abraham Lincoln. A walking tour brochure describes the architecture and 46 sites, including Victorian homes and along the brick streets in historic downtown. Fort Scott's brick foundries not only provided bricks for Fort Scott's streets, but for the Indianapolis Speedway ("The Brickyard") and the Panama Canal. Other attractions include trolley tours and the Gordon Parks Center for Culture & Diversity (at Fort Scott Community College) featuring works of renowned African-American photographer, choreographer and filmmaker who donated his collection to Mercy Hospital.

9 The Story - Pittsburg
The discovery of large deposits of coal led to the founding - and naming - of Pittsburg, Kansas in 1876. The ready supply of coal drew the railroads. Envisioned as a major industrial center, the city's founders recruited miners from Germany, France, Italy and Sweden to migrate to America and Kansas. They provided the initial labor for strip mining. By 1887, the first shaft mines were sunk. Coal turned out to be just the first of the areas rich resources. Clay fields provided the raw material for brickworks, and the coal helped fuel not just the railroads but a zinc smelting industry. The coal mines are largely empty now, but evidence of their importance can still be seen near town: "Big Brutus", an 11 million pound, 16-story power shovel is now a tourist attraction, available for exploring. The city boasts a wide array of cultural attractions and even a new nickname: "Fried Chicken Capital of Kansas" reflecting the chicken dinner wars between across-the-street rivals Chicken Annie's Original and Chicken Mary's.
The Story - Baxter Springs
Stop by the Phillips 66 Visitors' Center on Historic Route 66; the facility, located on the National Register of Historic Places, has been completely restored to its original 1939 appearance. For military history enthusiasts, must see visits include the reconstructed Fort Blair and National Cemetery (where victims of the Quantrill attacks on Fort Blair, and the Baxter Springs massacre, are interred.) The Heritage Center also includes an extensive Civil War exhibit and interpretive gallery. The only remaining example of a fixed Marsh Rainbow Arch Bridge left on Kansas Route 66 is just north of Baxter Springs. You can drive on it, but it often used for community picnics or weddings. The Café on the Route appeared on the Food Network show "Diners, Drive Inns and Dives."
Worth a Detour: Big Brutus in West Mineral
The second largest electric shovel in the world at 16 stories tall - was originally used for coal mining. What happened to the strip mines Big Brutus cleared? More than 14,000 acres were purchased by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks and now manages them as Mined Land Wildlife Areas, rich habitats of prairie grasses, shrubs, oak and hickory woodlands with abundant wildlife.

For those of you who have always wanted a 3-D big screen adaptation of The Three Musketeers from the director of Resident Evil: Afterlife, your time has almost come. For those of you a little skeptical, several new preview clips have been released to convince you that Paul W.S. Anderson hasn't destroyed author Alexandre Dumas' classic story.
Anderson has promised that his Three Musketeers is "exactly the story of The Three Musketeers" but told "in a slightly different way", and will still see a young D'Artagnan (Logan Lerman) head to Paris to meet up with the Three Musketeers — Athos(Matthew Macfayden), Porthos (Ray Stevenson), and Aramis (Luke Evans). Together, they will band together to bring down the evil Cardinal Richelieu (Christoph Waltz). Just, in 3-D and featuring giant sailing ships attached to hot-air balloons that have battles in the sky with cannons. You know, "exactly the story of The Three Musketeers."
Orlando Bloom, who plays the rakish and diabolical Duke of Buckingham, offered another reason why Anderson would want to make The Three Musketeers to Flicks and Bits.
He was saying that since he had his daughter she had really influenced his career, and how he felt that she had been a big part of the reason of doing this movie. Because the romance and heroism of this movie, I think that's something that he knew would really speak to his daughter. Since he's been raising her, it's been something that's also started appealing to him. I thought that was a really good reason to make a movie like this.
As for the preview clips, yes, there will be sword fights.
Milla Jovovich, who plays Milady de Winter in the movie, also gets into the sword fighting action in the next clip. And yes, Anderson has revealed that Jovovich trained for the movie's fighting scenes in her corset.
In the next clip, it looks like Milady de Winter could be up to no good as she teams with the Duke of Buckingham (Bloom).
In the next clip, the Musketeers explain themselves to the King Louis XIII (Freddie Fox) and Queen Anne (Juno Temple).
In this clip, Athos (Macfayden) describes the elaborate plan to the rest of the Musketeers.

Going Wild
A hard-won law provides the largest expansion to wilderness in 15 years.
By Katherine Tweed and Michele Wilson
The Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009, which President Obama signed into law on March 30, protects nearly two million acres of wilderness, a number nearing the 2.4 million acres the Bush administration designated during its entire two terms. The wilderness designation confers the government's highest level of protection. This legislation also contains more than 160 nonpartisan bills that, in addition to designating wilderness, add national trails and classify more than 1,000 miles of rivers in nearly a dozen states as wild and scenic—making it the largest expansion of protected land in 15 years. Here's a look at just a few areas that now carry the official wilderness designation.
Oregon Badlands
Since 1992 the Badlands desert ecosystem in central Oregon has been a Wilderness Study Area, giving its approximately 30,000 acres interim protection until Congress designated it as wilderness or released the land for other use. Now all but 1,000 acres have the permanent protection sought by the Oregon National Desert Association (ONDA) and other state organizations. "We're really excited to see it move forward," says Gena Goodman-Campbell, wilderness coordinator for ONDA. The designation also prohibits the use of mountain bikes and motorized vehicles in the area, a move Goodman-Campbell says will help preserve the Badlands' six lizard species, numerous mammal varieties, and 100 types of birds, including golden eagles, prairie falcons, and sage grouse.
Sabinoso Wilderness, New Mexico
Along the Canadian River, about 100 miles east of Santa Fe, the recently minted Sabinoso Wilderness comprises more than 16,000 acres in northeast New Mexico. This is only the second wilderness designation in nearly 20 years in the state. The region has impressive canyons, including the 1,000-foot tall Largo Canyon, and is home to mountain lions, gray foxes, and coyotes. There are also various species of birds, from red-tailed hawks and savannah sparrows to broad-tailed hummingbirds and American kestrels. The Bureau of Land Management is currently working to put in trailheads to make the terrain more accessible. It is an "isolated jewel of public land" because it is one of the last untouched pieces of the Great Plains ecosystem, says Nathan Newcomer, assistant director of the non-profit New Mexico Wilderness Alliance. While the area will still be available for hunting, fishing, and grazing by a few local ranchers, it will never be open to development or mining.
John Krebs Wilderness, California
Protecting the environment cost John Krebs his seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1978. Now the former California legislator's commitment to conservation is being recognized in a new wilderness area that spans nearly 40,000 acres in the southern Sierra Nevada Mountains. Krebs won protection for Mineral King Valley more than 30 years ago when it was included in the national park—just in the nick of time, as the Walt Disney Company was planning a large ski resort there. Today the valley, along with areas in Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Parks, will now be known as John Krebs Wilderness. The region includes many Important Birding Areas, providing habitat for more than 200 species of birds, including peregrine falcons, golden eagles, and western bluebirds.
Monongahela National Forest, West Virginia
The Monongahela National Forest is a large tract on West Virginia's border with Virginia. Approximately 37,000 acres have been designated within six areas of the forest: Cranberry, Big Draft, Roaring Plains, Dolly Sods, Otter Creek, and Spice Run. Now, thanks to the new law, 13 percent of the forest's 900,000 acres is wilderness, up from 9 percent; it's a notable improvement but still less than the National Forest System average of about 18 percent, according to the Sierra Club. The areas will be open for hiking, fishing, hunting, and other recreation, but off-limits to logging, mining, and road building. The wilderness encompasses important watersheds, as well as habitat for black bears, grouse, red-bellied woodpeckers, and many birds of prey.
Owyhee Public Land Management, Idaho
More than 515,000 acres of the Owyhee-Bruneau Canyonlands in southwestern Idaho received wilderness designation under the new law. It's a designation Congress has not given to land in the state for 25 years, says Idaho Senator Mike Crapo. The area is home to several rare birds, including ferruginous hawks and mountain quail, as well as scores of rare plant species. In addition, 300-plus miles of rivers are now classified as wild and scenic, preserving the waterways for recreation and science. The Owyhee Initiative, a group dedicated to safeguarding this swath of land, calls it "the best remaining habitats and the most important areas for wild recreation and scientific studies."
Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado
Approximately 250,000 acres in Rocky Mountain National Park, located 70 miles northwest of Denver, are now permanently protected. Despite an attempt in the 1970s by former President Nixon to protect the land, fewer than 3,000 of the park's 265,000 acres had the wilderness designation, according to the National Park Service. The 94-year-old park provides habitat for white-tailed ptarmigans, pygmy nuthatches, and 278 other bird species, as well as for more than 65 mammal species and five kinds of amphibians. The protection excludes the Grand Ditch named after the Grand River (what's now the Colorado River).

"I, Elliot Alderson, am flight. I am fear, I am anxiety, terror, panic."
Thus begins episode six of Mr. Robot, "Br4ve-Trave1er.asf". Last week we saw Elliot in what turned out to be his most triumphant moment in the series so far. Having successfully infiltrated the "impenetrable" Steel Mountain, Elliot, still on a visible high from his caper, calls his girlfriend Shayla to, well, just talk. It is one of the first times in the series that we see Elliot both completely sober, and seemingly content. Even Shayla remarks that he sounds different and new to her.

Bad Religion is an American punk rock band founded in 1979 by Greg Graffin (vocals), Brett Gurewitz (guitar), Jay Bentley (bass) and Jay Ziskrout (drums).

- Track state legislation with our Colorado Bill Tracker.
- Full political news coverage at denverpost.com/politics.
Lawmakers in Colorado's House gave an initial OK on Monday to a contentious measure that would allow those in the country illegally to obtain a state-issued form of a driver's license.
Democrats insist the measure is a public safety issue, while Republicans voiced concerns these identification cards could go to individuals with criminal backgrounds.
"This bill addresses a public safety concern that's been lacking for years, and that's making sure all residents using our roads know the rules regardless of their documentation," said Rep. Jovan Melton, an Aurora Democrat, who is championing the effort in the House.
Senate Bill 251 passed through the Senate last month with zero Republican support.
In order to obtain the license, applicants would have to present copies of state tax returns, a federal tax identification number and proof of identity from their country of origin, such as a passport or consulate card.
New Mexico, Illinois and Washington distribute licenses to those who are in the country illegally. In recent weeks, lawmakers in Maryland passed similar measures granting driver's licenses.
Rep. Dan Nordberg, a Colorado Springs Republican, offered an amendment Monday to have those seeking a license submit a fingerprint to the federal Secure Communities Program, as a way of verifying that an individual hasn't been convicted of a crime in the country.
The amendment — one of several proposed by House GOP members — was shot down by Democrats, who said it's unnecessary because fingerprints are already being taken and background checks aren't required to receive a license.
"You have no way of verifying someone's criminal background," Nordberg said. "Colorado could be giving driver's licenses to a person who is undocumented in our country and has committed multiple felonies around the country. ... We could be sanctioning bad actors to drive in Colorado."
Rep. Dan Pabon, a Denver Democrat, countered that argument by saying those seeking a license who are in the country illegally should not have to abide by different road safety standards.
"We have safety parameters in place so that those on our roads understand the laws of the road. We should not be making those who might be undocumented have to undergo a different process to get a license," Pabon said.
The licenses would not be valid for federal purposes, voting or public benefits. Implementation of the proposed law would occur in August 2014 to give the state time to work out details about the look of the licenses to ensure they are clearly distinguishable from those possessed by residents and citizens who are in the country legally.
The House is set for a final vote on the bill Tuesday before it returns to the Senate, which will have to concur with small technical House amendments.

A look at data from similar driver's license law in Utah
A bill to allow immigrants who are in the country illegally to apply for a separate category of driver's license has been compared to a handful of laws across the country, but Utah's law passed in 2005 may be the most comparable.
Utah's law allows immigrants who can't prove legal residency to get "driving privilege cards" that can't be used as identification for any other purposes. The cards are issued under a separate category similar to what is proposed in Colorado.
When the law passed, Utah canceled about 58,000 licenses that had been issued to people with federal taxpayer identification numbers instead of Social Security numbers. People were encouraged to apply for the new card instead.
Seven months after the cards were available, only 14,400 had been issued.
Audits researching whether the law reduced the number of uninsured drivers or improved road safety lack data. The number of uninsured drivers was not tracked prior to the law passing.
According to state audits from 2006 and 2008, as more cards were issued, the percentage of insured drivers remained at about 75 percent both years.
Hit-and-run data from the Utah Highway Patrol shows the number of issued citations for the accidents doubled to 881 in 2011 from 447 in 2004.
Salvador Lazalve, a Utah resident and activist with the nonprofit United Mexican Federation of Utah, said many immigrants are still afraid to apply for the card after problems that have surfaced.
Lazalve said some banks originally opted not to take the privilege card as identification, complicating bank withdrawals for many.
"It hurt our community, it's no question," Lazalve said.

DSLR vs CSC: 3 key differences you need to understand
DSLR vs CSC: 03 Focusing
Much of the development in DSLRs and compact system cameras has centred around the speed and accuracy of their autofocus (AF) systems.
For SLRs the challenge is to produce faster, smoother focusing in live view and video mode as the phase detection AF systems that they use when the image is composed in the viewfinder are generally fast and efficient.
Most compact system cameras use contrast detection autofocusing (the same as many SLRs in live view mode) and this is generally slower than phase detection – especially in low light.
Some manufacturers, however, have managed to produce AF systems for their CSCs which challenge those of similarly priced SLRs.
On the whole, an SLR's live view and video AF system is much slower than a CSC's, but SLR manufacturers are starting to make improvements by developing hybrid systems and even sensor-based phase detection systems.
Although you can shoot sport and action with a compact system camera, as a rule DSLRs are more suited to doing so because the focusing system when using the viewfinder is usually more versatile, faster and more sensitive.

exelent product
Comment:received my N66C timely and after initial lubrication, I used it to drive hundreds of ringed shank nails to install fence boards. Never had a problem and I like the product. I have hundreds of boards to go. Wish I have ordered the N75 model, I think is the one, that can take larger diameter nails that was only a few bucks more. This is the first time I have used a nail gun for fence and regret not using it before. Easy to use and only had a few double fires as I did let it bounce. I am aware of that and have not had that happen again. Just ordered another Bostitch product as I am very pleased with their tools and price.KarlSeattle

Some days you just have to take a step back, look around you, and – if no one is watching, in my case – cut loose. At least that's what Paramount is hoping audiences will want to do this weekend, as their Footloose remake hits theaters far and wide. It's going to have an uphill dance, though, as another revisit to an '80s classic, this one a prequel, hits and those fighting robots are still out their lurking in the trash yards. Those robots won't stomp the yard, though. That'll be left to the teens from Bomont, Georgia. And maybe the creature in The Thing. You think it dances? You think anyone cares if it can dance while it's taking over their body? Probably not. On with the Reject Report.
Footloose was an $80m hit back in 1984. It came in 7th that year just behind Police Academy at $81.1m, but the people behind the Footloose remake are hoping to stomp all over those numbers like they're doing the galliard. Yes, it's a type of dance. No, I don't know what it pertains to. Back to movies. With the success of films like Step Up, Stomp the Yard, and, yes, even You Got Served, the dance craze doesn't seem to be dying down any time soon. And who can blame studios for continuing to go back to this foot-tapping, body-gyrating well? No, none of these movies have had monster opening weekends. Save the Last Dance holds the biggest opening for a dance movie with $23.4m. Even the Step Up movies seem to be losing some of their opening weekend muster with debuts running from $20.6m to $18.9m to $15.8m. Still, Footloose could surprise everyone and become a huge success. "Could" being the optimal word there. It seems more likely it'll come in somewhere around $15m, maybe a bit under that, and just lose the #1 spot this weekend to the returning robotic champions everyone seems to love. Footloose won't find instant success, but something tells me it'll be dancing in theaters for the next few months.
Kenny Loggins. Footloose. Music video. And go:
John Carpenter's The Thing wasn't exactly a smash success upon its release in 1982. It made $19.6m in its entire, domestic run. You can blame E.T. on a lot of that. Hell, Carpenter does. But the idea of revisiting these '80s films that found their success after exiting the movie theaters continues with The Thing (2011). The movie itself is actually a prequel, but Universal is making sure they're selling it hard as a remake, flamethrowers included. But chances are The Thing won't bring in the same audiences of remakes like Friday the 13th ($40.5m opening weekend) or even Rob Zombie's take on Halloween ($26.3m opening weekend). Carpenter's The Thing is much beloved in the film community, but it's not a solid go-to when discussing the most popular horror films of the 1980s. The new Thing will surely find its way into double digits this opening weekend, but it won't be able to strive for much more than $13m.
Did you know John Carpenter's The Thing had an original ending that covered where everyone is now? No? Well, now you do. Have fun. Spoiler warning, though, for those of you who haven't seen it:
Hey, Steve Martin has a new moving coming out. Jack Black is in it, too. And Owen Wilson. Sure to be a huge hit, right? Well maybe, if anyone had actually heard of it, but The Big Year seems to not be bothered with trivial things like marketing. Seriously, I've heard more about that Indian movie coming out this weekend, Khushiyaan, than The Big Year. The Big Year is also directed by David Frankel, the man who directed The Devil Wears Prada and Marley and Me, so the fault here lies squarely at the feet of Fox. Maybe they're embarrassed by the movie. Who knows? Either way, The Big Year is sure to tank, no one will even notice, and it'll be hitting DVD and Blu-Ray shelves around…well, hey, what time is it?
Everybody can cut all they want. The Thing can assimilate itself into our society all it can. The Big Year…yeah, we're still a little sore about that one. But none of them have fighting robots, and that, my friends, is still what's looking to drive the big box office car. Real Steel had an impressive but not immense opening last weekend with $27.3m. With the positive buzz surrounding it, it looks to repeat as the #1 place-holder. Look for it to drop somewhere in the mid-40% range. It could be a close race between Real Steel and Footloose, but it will be quite the surprise if Footloose ends up on top when all is said and done. Plus Hugh Jackman has vowed to take out everyone involved in Footloose if it did. No, not really, but you can imagine he would, right?
Everyone, it's time to pick up the bunny, just so we hear Nicolas Cage tell us to put it back down. He's got a new movie hitting this weekend, and it co-stars Nicole Kidman and is directed by Joel Schumacher. Surely, it's getting a whopping 3000-screen release, right? Look what section you're in. Now think about it. Sadly, Trespass is one of those movies that's getting shafted when it comes to the width of its release thanks to Millennium Entertainment and their habit of casting big actors in their films then self-distributing them to the corners of the country. Anyone remember Trust starring Clive Owen? Didn't think so. Only opening on 10 screens across the nation, Trespass also hits VOD, so everyone can basque in the Cage glow from the comfort of their homes. I know I will.
I'll also be checking out this video about 92 times between now and Sunday just to get my Nicolas Cage fix. High-fucking-ya!!!
Also opening in limited release are Chalet Girl opening in New York City, Father of Invention opening in select cities, Khushiyaan opening in select cities, Labios Rojos opening in select cities, My Friend Pinto opening in select cities, Oka! opening in New York City, The Skin I Live In opening in New York and L.A., Texas Killing Fields opening in New York and L.A., and The Woman opening in select cities.
Here's how the weekend is shaping up:
- Real Steel -$15.2m (-44.1%)
- Footloose – $14.9m NEW
- The Thing – $13m NEW
- The Big Year -$8.6M new
- The Ides of March – $6.8M (-46.7%)
- Dolphin Tale – $5.8M (-35.5%)
- Moneyball -$4.6M (-37.5%)
- Courageous – $2.6M (-44.4%)
- Dream House – $2.3M (-46.3%)
And that comes out to $77.2m, another weekend down from the previous but no wholly unexpected considering none of the new movies will be taking that top spot. Still, even though it's expected, you have to step back and wonder when the Fall movie season is going to hit its respectable stride. This time last year, The Social Network was friending its way through the box office, the year before had a nice 1-2 punch from Zombieland and Couples Retreat, and, in 2008, Beverly Hills Chihuahua. We all remember those salad days, don't we? Still, some level of success seems just on the horizon with Paranormal Activity 3 and Puss in Boots sure to have impressive debuts. And now I'm wondering if the Paranormal Activity demon ever cuts.
We'll be back on Sunday to go over the weekend numbers.

May 21, 2013
SEATTLE - The Huskies will head to Indianapolis next week for an opportunity to race for a National Championship in a field that features the 22 best crews in the nation.
After a strong performance at the Pac-12 Championships, where the Huskies narrowly missed out on their first title since 2002, the Washington women's rowing program was selected for their 17th straight appearance at the NCAA Championships, which will take place May 31- June 2nd at Eagle Creek Park in Indianapolis, Ind. UW will be gunning for their fourth NCAA National Championship in school history, but face a talented and competitive field.
Washington is just one of three programs to make the NCAA Championships in every year since its inception in 1997.
The Huskies medaled in all four feature races at the Pac-12 Championships, but their trip to Lake Natoma was highlighted by a silver medal finish by the varsity eight and a gold medal finish by the novice eight, making the future look promising for this Husky program. Although the Huskies earned a third-place team finish, they were only one point back from second-place USC and two and half points back from title winner California.
NCAA racing determines the national champion by an accumulation of points in three events: varsity eight, second varsity eight and varsity four. Unlike men's rowing, which is solely based on the finish by the varsity eight, teams need to showcase depth in all areas at the NCAA Championships.
In the varsity eight race, Washington was grouped with defending National Champion Virginia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Gonzaga and Rhode Island. For the second varsity, the Huskies will be in heat four that includes fellow Pac-12 rival Stanford, Cornell, Brown, Navy and Rhode Island. The varsity four will face UCLA, Notre Dame, Michigan, Navy and Gonzaga.
The NCAA will take place in the Eastern Time Zone for the second straight year. Last year the Championships were held in New Jersey, with the previous two years before that taking place on the West Coast at Lake Natoma. Last year, Washington finished seventh at NCAAs, highlighted by two of three boats making the grand finals.
Selection to NCAAs was based on the following criteria: eligibility and availability of athletes, head-to-head results, conference championship results, results versus teams selected, results versus common opponents, regional ranking, results versus regionally-ranked teams. Once again, the Pac-12 Conference was represented well as six member schools will make the
NCAA Championships
May 31st- June 2nd
Indianapolis, Ind.
Participating Teams: Southern California, Princeton, Ohio State, Virginia, Washington, California, UCLA, Yale, Harvard, Stanford, Notre Dame, Michigan, Wisconsin, Cornell, Brown, Washington State, Oklahoma, Boston University, Navy, Gonzaga, Rhode Island, Marist.

This is a quick review of the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens that I purchased this past week. I'm by no means a pro photographer, but would like to share my impressions. This is the first lens I've ever bought that wasn't permanently fixed to a camera.
I've been slowly easing my way into the world of digital SLR after purchasing a used Digital Rebel XT a couple years ago now from a photographer who was graduating to something snazzier. I used it a little, but I kept coming back to my old Canon S3 IS because I was used to its controls, it was a fair bit smaller, and pretty capable for a non-SLR. I was also never happy with the throw-off lens that came bundled with it; it was an older 35-105mm lens that just never got me excited.
So I was looking to find a lens that would finally get me using my not so new second hand investment. I heard many recommendations for this particular canon lens: from classmates at school, glowing reviews on the intarwubs, even a guy calling into my call center because his cable was broken. The main selling point of this lens is the cost. $130 CAD for a Canon lens is extremely low. And what I heard is that there's not a huge sacrifice in quality to go along with the low price. I'm a bang for my buck sort of guy (aren't we all?) so this was appealing. I finally picked it up this past Wednesday at Futureshop, where it was on sale for 119.99 (else I would have probably gone to Henry's just on principle, since I like a little box store)
Because it's just 50mm, this lens is not going to zoom anywhere. It is what it is. It's got some zoom built in, too, so its angle is not very wide. Which means strict limits on stunning landscape vistas or close-ups of fruit bats at 550 paces. It's a portrait lens and that's what it does best. It chooses its target carefully, caresses it with clarity, and swaths it in layers of bootiful bokeh. And it gets me excited.
The huge aperture allows a very narrow depth of field (meaning potential for control over blurred background/foreground you lose with the tiny sensors on cell phone and point+shoot cameras). This is huge for me. To me, the ability to control focus with a high level of precision is the primary reason I was interested in getting an SLR. It lets you frame subjects meaningfully against the background, and gives them an edge in dynamics. That's one of the reasons I became attached to macro mode on my S3 IS (the other being a preoccupation with creating a breathing world out of the miniature). This alone makes the lens worthwhile.
The image clarity and detail on it is very good as well, but I don't know how obvious that is to the untrained eye (which, as far as those things go, is a category mine probably belong to, though they strain against it). The other thing that really struck me about the lens was the speed. With an aperture at 1.8 it doesn't need a whole lot of exposure time to get a good image. Our apartment is basementy and dim, so it can be frustrating to document photographically. Using just the dim compact fluorescent area lights of our living room, though, I was able to get a pretty good shot sans tripod at 1/6 of a second frame-rate . With a nudge up to 400 ISO or a steadier hand I might be able to improve on that.
If you couldn't tell, I'm real satisfied with this here purchase. I'm excited to get out and use it more (so far it hasn't left my property), and I'm pleased that it didn't set me back too much financially. While it oftentimes requires more distance between you and your subject than is convenient, it suits the type of photography I prefer specatcularly, and will serve me well in my quest. Surely. Now at some point I'll have to figure out what lens is next, but that may be a ways down my road. In the meantime I'll gladly take this beauty on my arm and show it around town.canon, digital photography, lens, photography, review

Sushil Kumar, the first to win Rs.5 crore on "Kaun Banega Crorepati 5″, has turned down an offer to enter the reality show "Bigg Boss" for the sake of his image as an youth icon.
"I was approached by the officials of the Endemol India and offered a place in 'Big Boss', but I refused," said Sushil. "More than any thing, my image is important for me. I don't want to do anything that affects my image."
Endemol India has been producing "Big Boss" that comes on Color channel. In the reality show, celebrities from different walks of life are locked inside a house for 14 weeks.
The fifth season of the show, which went on air Oct 2, sees a mixed gag bag of the aggressive and argumentative celebs like Akashdeep Saigal, Amar Upadhyay, Siddharth Bharadwaj, Pooja Missra, Shraddha Sharma, Mahek Chahal, Juhi Parmar, Pooja Bedi, Shonali Nagrani, and porn star Sunny Leone.
"If I joined 'Big Boss' and stayed there for some days, it would have changed my mindset and diverted me from my goal," the 27-year-old told IANS.
Sushil is happy to be the brand ambassador for the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee SCheme (MNREGS) and said: "It is a matter of pride for me to work for common people."
Before winning the top prize in KBC hosted by mega star Amitabh Bachchan, Sushil worked as a computer operator for the MNREGS in Motihari, his native town in East Champaran district of Bihar.
The 27-year-old is married and lives in a large joint family with five brothers, five nieces and a nephew. – IANS

Fort McCoy Garrison Soldiers dedicate installation's new flagpole
July 23, 2009
By Rob Schuette
Soldiers from the Fort McCoy U.S. Army Garrison dedicated the new flagpole to members of the installation work force during a ceremony July 8 in front of garrison headquarters.
The new flagpole was installed in April to replace the old one, which was damaged in a lightning storm last year.
Garrison Command Sergeant Major Command Sgt. Maj. William T. Bissonette Jr., said a ceremony to dedicate the flagpole previously had been discussed, and he decided to plan and execute it as a Year of the NCO event. The U.S. Army is celebrating The Year of the NCO throughout 2009.
The ceremony was held at 6 a.m. to observe Reveille, the traditional military time to raise the U.S. flag for the day.
"It was appropriate to have the enlisted Soldiers of the garrison raise the flag for the first time because they are the ones in charge of doing it at any installation," Bissonette said.
Bissonette said he was pleased to be part of the ceremony, which was the first official event he attended after assuming his new role June 26.
Being new to the garrison, he said he was very pleased to see members of the garrison out at 5:15 a.m. rehearsing the ceremony to ensure it would go well.
"It was great to see the NCOs doing the job they should be doing," Bissonette said. "They were teaching, coaching and mentoring the Soldiers."
The Soldiers involved in the ceremony received a command sergeant major coin.
Personnel from the Directorate of Emergency Services and the Wisconsin Military Academy (WMA) also supported the ceremony.
The WMA provided an artillery piece that was used to shoot two blank rounds in support of the occasion.
Eventually, a plaque will be placed at the flagpole that reads, "Dedicated to Soldiers and civilians who sustain, support and defend this nation on the centennial anniversary of this installation (Fort McCoy)," Bissonette said.

May 6, 2016
OAKLAND, Fla. -- A small town in Central Florida is considering forcing a 100-gallon-per-person daily limit on water for its residents.
Some residents in Oakland, which is located south of Apopka, are outraged over the proposed limit on water and said the rapid growth in the area must stop until there is no longer a shortage.
"I don't understand why they are allowing them to still build if the water supply is not there," Oakland resident "Susan" said. "And, why should we be cut?"
"What bothers me is when I get my bill and it is $50 or $100 and then they say, you can't use this much water," Angela Cardon said.
The proposal comes days after Orange County Mayor Rich Crotty said that if the county does not have a 40 percent reduction in water use, the aquifer will not have enough water to sustain the county.
Similar to surrounding cities, water bills in Oakland order "no watering on any day between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. or face a $500 fine."
WKMG reported that an average resident can use up to 90 gallons of water before leaving the house for the day.
"If the growth stops today and we don't build another house, you're still going to have a water problem," Commissioner Willie Welch said. "People are going to have to learn to save (water)."
"Stop building and adding more and more and taking away from us," Susan said. "I don't think it is right."
Commissioners are proposing a 500,000 gallon water tank, Local 6 has learned.

Common gets through 'low point' to record 9th CD
Saturday, December 24, 2011
NEW YORK (AP) — Most people are excited before recording a new album, but Common didn't particularly feel that way.
He says before making his ninth album, "The Dreamer, the Believer," he was at a low point musically.
"I hadn't figured out what I was going to do, what label I was going to work with," he said. "I wasn't inspired."
Common had major success with 2005's "Be" and "Finding Forever," which came two years later. The albums reached gold status and each earned multiple Grammy nominations, including a win for best rap performance by a duo or group for "Southside" with Kanye West. Both albums were mainly produced by West.
But 2008's "Universal Mind Control," produced by the Neptunes, was a commercial disappointment, only selling 245,000 units, according to Nielsen SoundScan; the CD, however, did earn a Grammy nomination for best rap album.
But Common parted ways with Universal Music, where he's released five of his nine albums.
Now, on Warner Bros. Records, the rapper said he's got his mojo back, mainly thanks to producer and longtime friend No I.D.
"He was willing to be like, 'Yo, let's go! Let's get it. Let's go get on this hip-hop,"' Common recalled. "So I think that meant a lot to me and from there we just continued to grow."
The album, released Tuesday, features Nas, Maya Angelou, John Legend and Makeba Riddick. The 39-year-old says the disc embarks on "real, traditional, new hip-hop."
