His chart-topping single “Stronger” blended rap with electronic music, a rare occurrence for mainstream hip-hop at the time (though it has decades-old precedents), while “Flashing Lights” brought a futuristic vibe that was a far cry from “Through the Wire.” ‘Ye didn’t completely abandon the chipmunk soul on Graduation—“The Glory” is still a standout moment—but he truly excelled by layering the sound of his music to create a grandiose experience. Take “I Wonder,” a song Kanye described as his version of U2’s “City of Blinding Lights,” which included a beautiful string arrangement, moving synth lines, and thunderous drums that made it a simultaneously intense and inspiring listen. ‘Ye also came through with “Can’t Tell Me Nothing,” a street anthem that knocked accordingly; kept things joyful on “Good Life”; and achieved stadium status on “Good Morning.”

As many fans are still very fond of Morrowind, there is a path heading towards it. Nestled in between the Velothi mountains and east of Windhelm, it is an unmarked locations that reminds long-time players of the old days. Of all hidden spots, this one is the most nostalgic. In a way, though, it’s also depressing, considering this is how many Dunmer ended up in Windhelm’s cruel gray quarter.

Then we will talk about the many painting techniques you can try, from brush painting to spray can, and making depth with shadows and highlights.

Description: Come join David Petersen as he hosts this panel to talk about all things Mouse Guard: The books, the spin-offs, the games, and more.

This sports bra first came on my radar when a fitness blogger recommended it as a great sports bra for those with large "ta-tas." It has a gorgeous looped detailing in the back and doesn’t have claps as the Enlite Sports Bra does. Plus, it still has the support you need to keep everything in place through an energetic circuit class or a twisting yoga flow.

Within just a few years, Pumpkin would sign a $12,000 contract with Profile. That amount may seem paltry now, but in 1983 it surely bought him plenty of his beloved monogrammed shirts. But by 1987 or so, following some shady business deals, Pumpkin was burned out on rap. He kept on playing, though, and died in 1992, shortly after finishing some gigs in Japan.

All four men work for W.L. Gore & Associates Inc., the manufacturer best known for Gore-Tex, the waterproof membrane used in high-end outerwear. The company also makes air filters, headlight vents, heart stents, guitar strings, and more. Its membranes help batteries power electric cars. Its specially coated cables connect the electronics on the International Space Station. And it made the experimental implant Akpek is now folding, tacolike, with her tweezers and fitting into the rabbit’s eye. If all goes well, the company will soon be making lots more of these. This is Gore’s first foray into the eye, and success would provide a new market, a new mission, and, hopefully, new momentum.

Knowing this, rescuers should agree that once the initial tightening of a ratchet has been accomplished, the handle should be placed down in the closed and locked position. The reality is that this is just a “nice to do” safety action and not really a “must-do” task. Err on the side of caution and keep the handle down for safety.

The story starts in 2007 when artworks by the anonymous British street artist Banksy began appearing across the Palestinian town of Bethlehem. As he says in an audio message, the purpose of daubing the Wall with images and slogans was to draw the world’s media to a forgotten crisis point and force them to report on the apartheid nature of the barrier restricting movement between Israel and the Occupied Territories. A number of participating artists explain their motives for joining this `John and Yoko’ stunt, while a few locals describe the guerilla nature of the operation. Reference is also made to Santa’s Ghetto, the gallery that was opened to raise money for Palestinian artists and became a honey pot for wheeler-dealers from around the world.

HONORABLE MENTIONS: Bangladesh, Jim Jonsin, Kanye West All three runner-up picks for 2008 produced on Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III, but that’s where the similarities end. In Bangladesh’s case, look no further than “A Milli.” The 808-heavy beat was the perfect backdrop for Wayne’s raw, no-hook approach. The Iowa native also worked on gems like Dem Franchize Boyz’s “Talkin’ Out da Side of Ya Neck!” As far as commercial dominance goes, Jim Jonsin is your guy. “Whatever You Like” (T.I.) and “Lollipop” (Lil Wayne) spent a combined 12 weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 in 2008, while Soulja Boy’s “Kiss Me Thru the Phone” reached No. 3. Meanwhile, Kanye West provided two beats on Tha Carter III: “Comfortable” and the snare/808/sample-based bravado of “Let the Beat Build.” Aside from the work he did for other rappers—which included Game, 88-Keys, and the T.I. posse cut “Swagga Like Us”—‘Ye’s most noteworthy production came on 808s & Heartbreak. Stylistically, it was an abrupt departure from his early sound, as he used electropop and melancholic melodies that would provide a blueprint for a crop of new rappers in the late 2000s and beyond. —Edwin Ortiz

Xiidra had about $400 million in sales last year, Novartis said. It expects the deal to close in the second half of the year and plans to bring over about 400 employees. The drug could generate peak sales of as much as $1.4 billion, according to Elizabeth Krutoholow, a Bloomberg Intelligence analyst. Bloomberg reported the potential sale earlier Wednesday.

Twitter is very clannish and ideological, and it feels like a platform for self-promotion and virtue trumpeting more than anything else. The way people tweet reminds me of how some people talk when they step up to a lectern at City Council meetings — looking for applause more than conveying information. It’s the nature of the platform, of course, and I’m as guilty as the next guy — if this rant were a tweet and it got no retweets, I would feel a tinge of sorrow.
