pretty cool technology IMO. Did they use old footage or make a 3D model of him?

it's probably CGI or something, it's looks digital when they zoom in on him the first few secs.

I've seen this before at Nokia Theater two years back. Technology is by Musion. I wonder if they are the same.

That's too legit. I have a feeling that the people who knew it was Tupac were too shocked to react, and the people that were screaming didn't know who he was and cheered just so they don't look stupid.

Hermes drops the truth quite often. He's very Mr. Miyagi like. I'd think he was nuts for suggesting I build a Star Wars lego plane to learn a lesson, little do I know in this life, much to learn I have :nonono:

I remember when Tupac died, some time later, not sure how much long after but my cousins and I were trying to research what happened. We came to a page that had Tupac with his hands in front of him as if he was praying. I remember feel creepy vibes the whole time, then we hear a bang on our window, man I ran the **** out my house quicker than you can say soil.

Silver haired and sweet faced, Darlene Mayes looks like many grannies but according to police, she is one of Oklahoma's biggest drug kingpins. Her operation went up in smoke this week, when police entered her home and found 4 pounds of pot and $276,000 cash.

Police found $15,000 bundles of cash stashed away in the home, Mayes initially told police the money was part of her retirement fund. Police also say she was packing a semiautomatic pistol and a revolver.

Investigators say her alleged pot-dealing network spanned four states, from Tulsa, Okla., to Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri.

Police believe she supplied up to 40 percent of the marijuana in that area. As the mastermind, police believe she had a network of dealers, including her son Jerry who was also arrested.

Law enforcement expert Brad Garrett says harmless looking seniors can sometimes be the most efficient drug dealers.

The band's name sound extremely familiar for some reason, not sure if it's a big band so maybe that's why but for some reason, I know this band from somewhere. I'll have to think from where or maybe who tuned me on to it, but I know I've heard this name before. I recognized it immediately.

Maybe DD has posted it before? I'm not sure, but he doesn't seem like the self-promoting type, just keeps us updated, which is awesome.

GEK!

I read the article you posted, the one dated 1/8/71. So Rutger's no longer employs an automatic evacuation policy? Has it changed since? It seems the boy who cried wolf theory may in fact bite some schools in the ass if something does happen, which knocking on all the wood in my store, I hope it doesn't. The only place I'd love to see blown up is Stern's house, mind you with no one dying, just his home burned to **** with a note that says, Basketball Reasons, but I digress. Also read the story on the cop who shot himself, Captain Abraham. Sad story, I wonder what happened, they just found the guy with his head leaned over the steering wheel or something, sad indeed.

My guess is that the policy has been reinstated.
