Eminem, the way you lie. I don't like Rhianna at all, but in that song she is really cool. And the video is sexy as hell.
Is that the song that's been playing quite a bit on radio. I'm getting fond of that song. One thing I will say about Eminem is that he is infectious. I liked his singles the last time he was big on the scene.
From Lost: The Final Season soundtrack "Moving On". It's from the last 7 minutes of the series finale.

Permeability of dentin to adhesive agents
The permeability of dentin to adhesive agents is of crucial importance in obtaining good dentinal bonding. In those systems that remove the smear layer, the opportunity exists for resin to infiltrate both tubules and intertubular dentin. Resin penetration into tubules can effectively seal the tubules and can contribute to bond strength if the resin bonds to the tubule wall. Resin infiltration into intertubular dentin can only occur if the mineral phase of dentin is removed by acidic conditioners or chelators. This is more easily accomplished in fractured dentin than in smear layer-covered dentin because of the residual collagen debris that remains on the surface following acid etching of smear layers. The channels for resin infiltration are the perifibrillar spaces created around the collagen fibers of dentin following removal of apatite mineral by acids. The diffusion of adhesive resins through these narrow, tortuous, long channels in 1 to 2 minutes offers a number of challenges that require further research.

Police raided rapper Lil Wayne's Miami Beach mansion Tuesday with a levy warrant, which is used to seize property.
According to sources, Lil Wayne owes money and police were taking assets. Aerial footage showed agents taking items from the home.
His mansion is reportedly unoccupied.
Miami-Dade Police said this was part of a civil case. No further details were immediately known.
The rapper's mansion also made headlines back in March when someone claimed to have fired shots inside the eight-bedroom home.
Police said the 911 calls were part of a swatting incident, which means an unknown caller falsely reported the shooting.
Lil Wayne was not home at the time.
His publicist could not be reached for comment Wednesday morning.
