Daniel de los Reyes Biography
Where to start I have been playing drum set and percussion instruments as far back as I can remember. I think I was probably banging inside my mother's womb until she could stand it no more and said "you're out of there" like an umpire in a baseball game. But on a serious note, from the day I was born I heard many different styles and rhythms of music due to the love my parents have for music. My mother is Puerto Rican/American and my father is Cuban/American. I clearly remember my mother always singing beautiful Puerto Rican melodies to us all the time when we were growing up. She loves to sing.
I am honored to say I was born into a family that for three generations has been making a living at playing music. My grandfather, Walfredo de los Reyes II (trumpet player and singer), laid the family musical foundation by co-founding the famous Cuban orchestra in Cuba called Casino de la Playa. My grandfather lived in both Havana and New York City. My father, Walfredo de los Reyes III, went on to become one of Cubas most successful and well known drummers/percussionists before moving on to Puerto Rico and then the United States. My fathers musical credits range from Josephine Baker, Celia Cruz, Israel "Cachao" Lopez, Bennie More, Paul Anka, Sammy Davis Jr., Tony Bennett, Debbie Reynolds, and more. The list goes on and on. He is one of the first drummers to incorporate the drum set with congas and other percussion and take it to a level recognized throughout the world. My father blazed a wide path that many would follow. He continues to wow crowds with his drumming and percussion ability, extensive musical history and incredible enthusiasm. I am constantly in awe and learning from him every day. My grandfather and father both grew up and participated in the golden era of music, especially in Havana, Cuba, where they were involved in the creation of styles of music such as son, cha-cha-cha, mambo, and rumba. They both contributed to the evolution of Latin Jazz around the world during the free-form descarga years. Music has been flowing through my veins since the very beginning of my life.
So you can see how with the musical family that I come from, I did not have any choice in becoming a musician. Just kidding of course! I was surrounded by all different kinds of drums in our house growing up and was instinctively drawn to them, especially hand drums, as early as two years old. You know how you see kids banging away on kitchen pots and pans with a spoon and how excited they get? Well, that was me except I had access to real drumsticks, drum sets, and percussion instruments and used them to bang on anything within my reach. The minute I started hitting on things the way little children do, my father took the drumsticks in my hand and said, "This is the proper way you hold them." Drums have always been part of my life. When I was young I used to get bored very quickly just sitting and doing one thing at a time. Telling me to sit still was like telling a mosquito not to buzz! That is why drums and percussions are perfect for me. I get to use all four limbs at once. And by the way, to this day I am still like a mosquito always buzzing!
As for my early drum instruction, my dad was my first teacher. He always wanted to sit me down (the buzzing mosquito) to study technique and go over books like the drumming bible, George Lawrences Stick Control Book. I was 11 years old and would get very restless sitting there in front of a book and pad, All I wanted to do was go wild on the drums! So being very wise, he decided to put me with another drum teacher by the name of Irv Klooger. That was a great thing for me. Irv, being the cool Jazzer that he was, helped me a lot but with my family and amazing extended musical family around all the time, how can you turn into anything but a musician? At any time we would have these great musicians around our house: Joe Morello, Alan Dawson, Billy Cobham, Alex Acuña, Rogelio Darias, Roy Burns, Armando Peraza, Marcelino Valdez, Cachao, Louie Bellson, and on and on. Sometimes I would play alongside them when I was a young adult. By participating in their jam sessions, I was fortunate to absorb through osmosis the amazing feeling of expressing yourself musically with no restrictions. Those impromptu lessons with these music legends were priceless to me. In addition my father would always take me to work with him. My childhood playgrounds were the backstage of theaters. I was always right next to him on stage while he would play the shows. A typical day would be the musicians would get to the rehearsal, they would see the written music for the first time, play the songs in the show one time through, and play two shows that night like they had been playing this music all of their life. It was amazing! In these back stages I was fortunate to have seen and met many incredible entertainers throughout my youth.
As a young adult I could not get enough of the drums and percussion instruments. I literally lived and breathed drums/percussion because I loved them so very much. I would take them apart, rebuild them, change the color of them, and build new instruments from scratch. I would practice all day long whenever I could. Sometimes I would fall asleep and wake up with the drums at my side. I know that sounds really crazy, me and my drums. What a love affair!
I definitely knew when I was in the 10th grade performing in front of a large crowd that I would go on to pursue a career as a professional drummer and percussionist. One of the funniest early moments that come to my mind was when I was in my late teens. I was playing drums in front of an audience in Las Vegas and we were playing Kool and the Gang's "Celebration" song. And yes, before you say anything, it was the disco days! Well, I think I was getting into the music and celebrating a little too much because when the band finished the song, I kept right on playing, oblivious to the ending. There I am playing drums on stage in front of a large crowd and the vocals and music stops. Dead silence. And then guess what? My very first DRUM SOLO!
Of all the hand percussion that I love to play, my favorite hand drum is the tumbadoras or congas as they are called in the United States. I have a very special love for hand percussion instruments in general because it is just your hands and the drum making the music. Tumbadoras are a very physical instrument and it takes a special devotion to get through the pain that you go through to get your hands in shape and to build your stamina when you first start playing. But what an incredible feeling you experience when you reach that point. What most people don't realize is that playing a whole night of hand percussion is a serious physical workout!
People often ask me what I personally like to do when I am not drumming or doing music of some sort. It probably wont surprise people to learn that I love to express my creative side in all sorts of ways. I especially love to work with all different types of materials and tools. If it were left totally up to me, I would have an incredible workshop where I could build anything that I could dream up. I don't think very many people know that I also enjoy cooking and am actually pretty good at it or so I have been told. Plus give me a few power tools and I am also quite the handyman!
On the professional level, one of my most popular and successful inventions I have developed is the One Shot Shaker series from LP that provides a downbeat shake without the inevitable back-shake. Others include an innovative utility beater by Regal Tip that attaches to pedals for play on cowbells, woodblocks, and tambourines without sacrificing their natural sounds as well as the Daniel de los Reyes Signature Pro pad by DW (Drum Workshop) that incorporates timbales, cowbells, and congas all in a portable practice rig that easily fits in a backpack. Always creating and thinking of new ideas!
To switch gears, one of the most rewarding activities I have been doing a lot of in the last few years is reaching out to others in a variety of ways using the drum and rhythm programs I have created. Whether I am working with children, teens, adults, elderly, or special needs clients, I believe there is a drummer in everyone! I have been honored to create rhythm programs and events for a variety of clients such as Cirque du Soleil and NBAs Miami Heats Alonzo Mourning and Dwayne Wade. In the future I look forward to taking my rhythm outreach programs to a more global audience.
And now I am very proud to be playing with the Zac Brown Band. Everyone within the organization and all the fans has been so welcoming to me. I am really looking forward to this journey together. Nothing but great things are created when you share music with a person who shows you his heart. And Zacs heart is pure gold.
In addition to my current schedule with the Zac Brown Band, I have been incredibly blessed to perform on tour, record, TV, movie and video over the years with a virtual whos who of music giants including Chicago, Don Henley, Earth, Wind & Fire, Sting, The Killers, Sheryl Crow, Patti LaBelle, Peter Frampton, Jennifer Lopez, Don Omar, Stevie Nicks, Louie Vega, Ricky Martin, Shakira, Lionel Richie, Kenny Ortega, Steve Winwood, and many others.
With all my years in the music business, if there is one thing I would like people to feel and take away when they see and hear me perform, it would be how happy one feels when you have the freedom to express your individuality in whatever way is right for you. It doesn't have to be through music like it is for me. It can be anything that you love with a passion and choose to pursue with all your heart. The greatest gift I could ever hope to share with another person would be to always encourage you to strive toward your dreams and enjoy the heck out of it. When people share their own personal stories with me and say I have inspired them in some small way wow now THAT makes me smile!

Listen up, parents: For toddlers (and chimps), the majority rules
A new study offers some news for parents: even toddlers have a tendency to follow the crowd. That sensitivity isn't unique to humans either; chimpanzees also appear more likely to pick up habits if "everyone else is doing it." Full Story »Posted by Manfred Ostrowski

If you could choose any historical figure to give a TED Talk, who would it be and why?
This one is pretty open-ended. I'm curious to know who you would choose for a TED Talk, why, and maybe what you think their "idea worth spreading" might be.
Apr 8 2013: Leonardo Da Vinci. Let's just keep this simple: The man is amazing.Apr 12 2013: Nikola Tesla.. definitively ! So many of his projects are hidden, forgotten & unfinished.Apr 8 2013: Nikola Tesla! :)
Apr 8 2013: Amazed by that man..
Apr 9 2013: Tesla was amazing, but given his personality I wonder if he'd actually be a good presenter. So many people are great doers, but not necessarily great communicators...
Apr 10 2013: It's so true, Ray. I think presentation is both a skill, that we can practice and talent.

Apr 15 2013: Nikola Tesla-The man ahead of his time.!

Why- To tell the world to invent the things not for the money but for humanity..!
louis klugh
Apr 13 2013: Albert Einstein. He was obviously intelligent, but what distinguished him was his willingness and ability to accept new interpretations of the universe. He looked at what obviously was the universe and recognized how it could be interpreted in a new way and thus, understood on a deeper level.Apr 9 2013: Jesus. That'd help a lot of people more appropriately place their faith.Apr 15 2013: Mother Theresa. I've always been a fan...Interesting to note, I asked my 4th graders this same question. In fact, we created an entire mock TEDx classroom symposium on the question, and they created TED talks & performances based on the lives of the following people: Eleanor Roosevelt, The Wright Brothers, Benjamin Netanyahu (prime minister of israel), Marion Anderson, Amelia Earhart, Ruby Bridges, Jackie Robinson, Kamehameha the Great, and Sacagawea...just to name a few. Their task was to identify the purpose of their speech (to entertain, inform, persuade, or all three), and base their talks on the "innovative" idea that each represented at that time in history. It was pretty cool so see what they came up with. My favorite was the lip sync of Marian Anderson as she sang the National Anthem at the inauguration of Presiden Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1957!

Apr 14 2013: I agree that Jesus would be a thrilling speaker - but for a different reason. He wanted to teach us that its possible to have a system of truth-based governance (the Kingdom he kept describing) that leads to a depth of knowledge that empowers us as human beings to overcome disease, hunger, war, and much of the ignorance we still have over how the earth and physical world we live in really works; and how as humans if we understood our own design, we could better influence physical outcomes. Now that would be one fascinating talk!!Apr 15 2013: what do you mean by "levels of consciousness"?
exactly how is reincarnation and resurrection fact?
exactly who did you learn all of this from?
excuse all the questions, just so far it sounds a little bit like you've mixed a couple of unrelated books into a single idea, though perhaps if you explained it would clearer.Apr 12 2013: Definitely the greats: Buddha, Jesus and Moses.
I mean, what we are calling religion now were merely Ideas that captured the imagination of people and it spread like wildfire, changing the consciousness of man for thousands of years. Jesus, love others as you love yourself. That was new then. Jesus was the first humanitarian. Including the samaritans despite them being outsiders of the flock. Buddha, x=X (individual consciousness = collective consciousness). Moses, there is only one God (the forces we see around are a product of one universal phenomena)
Most scientists like Newton, and Johannes Kepler and even Darwin are quiet eccentric people who most likely don't look you in the eye. I would go for the luminaries!

Apr 13 2013: Absolutely disagree Darwin and Newton were stand up guys. The other guys are legends. Many scholars believe Pythagoras was actually a handful of differant people whos works are attributed to one name. I would say the same thing about Jesus Buddha and Moses. These figures embody a movement not a single human vessel.

Apr 13 2013: A truly intelligent man whose wisdom oozed out from all the shouting of the founding fathers and illuminated the way. But he did seem to "cherchez the femmes" when he was in France. I loved his letter to a young man about the advantages of marrying an older woman. He had an excellent sense of humor, too!Apr 12 2013: I'd ask for a three-way between Galileo, Copernicus, and Thomas S. Kuhn. They could discuss Ted's shocking lack of forward thinking in the recent scandal about Ted coming out against scientists who aren't full of everyday, established talk and therefore must be labeled "pseudoscientists." I must be naive, because I was REALLY surprised to find out about this.
Would you guys let Kuhn (Harvard) talk about paradigm in science belief and history? Would Tim Leary (Harvard) be given 18 minutes to discuss the effects of LSD on the brain? What would you have told Mark Zuckerberg if he'd come of age in 1983 and explained how this wacky thing called a "social network" might take over the whole danged world? I guess you'd have pooh-poohed it.
I'm interested in new, exploratory ideas in addition to some old-hat fun stuff about fascinating subjects. That's why I'm part of the TED community, though I considered quitting after reading about this. I don't think it's up to TED to decide for me whether Rupert Sheldrake and Graham Hancock have interesting views on interesting subjects, views I should consider and further research.
I sincerely hope you will not censor this comment.
Comment deleted
Apr 12 2013: I want to add that I have no particular skin in the game about whether Rupert Sheldrake and Graham Hancock are right in their views. I do know they have credentials, they provoke discussion, and if TED is supposed to be so fabulous and embracing of a new idea culture, the organization should act like it!
Apr 13 2013: Its a process, on the one hand TED will not be a respected entity if everything is passable. I always say these are market forces. Its very difficult to take consciousness seriously because we can't even agree on what consciousness is. Everybody claims to be conscious, but wonder what the word really means outside of our...err...consciousness. We could be tiny little ants.Apr 13 2013: really? ted has a problem with scientists who aren't scientific? the nerve!
open minds are good, but it shouldn't be so open that any unsupported rubbish can get in.
Comment deleted
Apr 14 2013: no that's exactly not what science is. personal experience is deceptive, and science goes to great lengths to avoid it and the misunderstanding it fosters.Apr 13 2013: One of the first talks I heard on TED back in 2008 was that of Jill Bolte Taylor.
And I was hooked on TED!
Because of the Consciousness that Jill Bolte had experienced in her left brain after a stroke. What she experienced was not "Materialistic Science"! Nevertheless till now, for me, it is among the most amazing talks I have heard because of the nature of consciousness... So when Graham Hancock's and Rupert Sheldrake's talks were removed from TEDx I considered quitting... I totally agree with Tiffany Lee Brown.
Apr 13 2013: There are a lot of people who entertain the illusion that they have their fingers on the button. Control freaks :) The ideas worth spreading are spreading and whether TED likes it or not, it is also in the business of spreading 'pseudoscientific ' ( the most advanced ) ideas sometimes.
There are some talks worth listening :)
Apr 14 2013: unfortunately ideas not worth spreading are given 'worthy' status by people who don't understand, and also spread. i support ted's stance against comforting balderdash.Apr 12 2013: I would like to hear John Stuart Mill giving a TED talk on the dead dogma of freedom. Although he is one of the main supporters of individual freedom that history has seen, he also argues in "On Liberty" that no principle should become a dead dogma. It seems to me that "freedom" itself has become a dead dogma and I would like to hear what he thinks about it. Something similar to a response to Barry Schwartz's "the paradox of choice" TED talk.Apr 12 2013: Let's get some entertainers up on the stage.
Enrico Caruso
Scott Joplin
Maria Callas
Buster Keaton
Igor Stravinsky

Apr 10 2013: ben franklin. got wealthy thanks to his printing business, realised he had more than enough income to live very comfortably and retired rather than going after more and more money. he decided to spend his time and money instead on scientific pursuits, the developments from which he deliberately chose not to patent, so that all citizens could enjoy improvement in their standard of living rather than holding it hostage for cash. capitalism but with an upper limit on wealth, pushing forward science and benefits to everybody - now that is an idea worth spreading!
- +2
Apr 11 2013: Great answer! I actually signed in to this conversation to say Ben Franklin, but you've made such a wonderful case that I will let yours stand, and pick a new speaker ...Apr 12 2013: Ben most capitalists are similar to Franklin. Gates, Buffet, Rockefeller, etc.
Apr 12 2013: most? you've come up with 3, do tell me how 3 people among the richest 100,000 people leads to the conclusion that most capitalists are like franklin? and even among those 3 they've continued to work until well past becoming super rich, and have patented their work.
not only do most of the rich not quit when they have enough and give back to the citizens to which their success depended on, they usually don't even pay the minimum amount that they are legally obliged to pay as their fair share. $100bn in taxes are avoided in america alone by the super rich who hide their funds in offshore bank accounts.
i encourage everyone to engage in the debate, but please do some basic fact-checking before chiming in with such codswallop; support your statements with evidence or provide sources to where this evidence can be found.
Apr 12 2013: Yes that is the standard conjectureApr 13 2013: please elaborate?
Apr 13 2013: If you get what I'm saying no explanation is necessary if you don't none is possibleApr 15 2013: the only things that can't be explained are those that aren't true.
Apr 15 2013: I used to think that also.Apr 15 2013: and what led you to change your mind?
Apr 15 2013: Many talks that were a waste of time.Apr 9 2013: Albert Einstein would be my #1 choice. Fascinating person.
Comment deletedApr 14 2013: My ideal lecturer would be George Orwell, the time of the lecture either just before WWII, or 2013. Orwell's was an uncompromising and sharp brain, with an ability to SEE the big picture, and to put his visions into words.Apr 14 2013: TED Talk should interview this SMALL Brasilian Girl Isadora Faber (http://www.facebook.com/DiariodeClasseSC?fref=ts).
She is fighting for GOOD PUBLIC EDUCATION in Brasil and some (power) people are trying to make her shut up.Apr 13 2013: Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte - because he was misunderstood even while he lived, and certainly after he died, and because his vision for a unified Europe brought together under a common market, common legal and government system and common monetary system was not only bold, but also far ahead of its time. A TED Talk would not only allow him to clear his name for the record of history, but to also inspire others to aspire to higher ideals and not settle for what was easy, even if you disagreed with his methods and believe him to be a tyrannical figure.Apr 13 2013: Marshall McLuhan.

in the cause of African redemption, philosopher, educator, founder of Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League).
He was an outspoken leader, dedicated to promoting African-Americans and resettlement in Africa. He was self educated and made a mark in the history books as a believer in dominant black nationalism.
A talk today would include Self pride, pride in one's race as we try to uplift black youths from the negative self impressions and idealisms created by 'others'.Apr 13 2013: I would chose Gandhiji, because he still had much to teach us before he was assassinated.Apr 13 2013: Jayavarman VII, King of Cambodia, who ruled Cambodia right around the 9th-11th century (I am not exactly sure). We need help right now, oh, King. We are drowning in greeds, corruption and lawlessness. Our primitive instinct is hacking us apart, rich from poor, Lexus from cyclo. The genocide of the Khmer Rouge is not over yet. Help us, just king.Apr 13 2013: The Rev Doctor Sun Myung Moon who just left this life on Earth. Humanity was so busy condemning him that they missed his message. What a mistake! Individual insecurities and fears prevented hearing him speak about God our Father. Biggest mistake mankind has made NOT to of saw and heard him speak in person. He tried, he flew the world many times going to every corner of civilization. Rejection as every other man of God experienced since the beginning of human history is what he received - I wish God would give mankind one more chance to hear the Rev Doctor Sun Myung Moon speak.Apr 13 2013: Ali Ibn Abi Talib, because his courage, knowledge, belief, honesty, unbending devotion to Islam, deep loyalty, equal treatment of all human and generosity in forgiving his defeated enemies,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AliApr 12 2013: @Tiffany: Well, they weren't scientific because the method didn't come until Galileo. They were game changers and all three had a common goal, to introduce rationality in place of ritualistic practice. Jesus was trying to teach sense. The 613 commandments of the Jewish People can be a little bit too much when really its just the 7 laws of Noah in detail. What Jesus did was condense it even more to one teaching which is, you and I are no different so treat me as you want to be treated. It is humanitarian. And he taught this to like everyday folk, people who need to hear it, not the TED people of their time, the intellectual rabbis who are studied and learned.
Moses took the magical letters from the egyptian tradition available only to priests and royalty, and made it available to the workers. The Alef-Bet is math, but not only math, it holds the progression of concepts from energy into matter. You will see what they mean if you study the alphabet. A for ox-power, B for house, G for path etc, etc. It was pretty advanced. He said that all those powers that the egyptians were breaking down as separate powers is ONE power.
Buddha is the first atheist, let me just say that. Maybe humanist, not atheist. Most atheists have (knock knock, disclaimer...i do know this is a generalisation) parent availability issues and therefore cannot rely on a "saviour" or "a higher power" and believe that they're on their own.
But people get ideas and hold tack them into fixed points and then check back on it constantly because they don't dare deviate from it or make it meaningful for them. Then it becomes dogma, then it returns to what it struggled against. Science is a method. It's not a god. What you find out in science moves, changes everyday. But its essence remains. All knowledge can be found and lost and regained but with better understanding. This is a human habit. We keep on forgetting what we know and then when we remember it, we think its new

Apr 13 2013: Great analogy Chris.
CONSCIOUSNESS = SCIENCE + COMPASSION (choice)
Compassion & Cruelty are not feelings they are choices!!
Wisdom (Consciousness) = Intelligence (Science) + Compassion (choice)
Stupidity = Intelligence (Science) + Cruelty (choice)
Intelligence (Science) is a great tool
A knife is a great tool developed by science
Unfortunately a knife in the hands of a cruel intelligent...
The world is paved with intelligent people...
Few "choose" compassion and give the quantum leap to wisdom
Intelligence (Science) is therefore a great path (choice) towards consciousness
Intelligence (Science) is also a great path (choice) towards stupidity
Apr 13 2013: Who is that who chooses ?
The world is governed by the laws of dynamics and chaos. Chaos is the order of infinite complexity. I don't think that anybody is in control ; the time has come for science to embrace the idea of 'spirit' , which is consciousness and compassion, awareness if you will.
Just thoughts :)

:)Apr 11 2013: Actually, if I was allowed a second opinion, after Jesus (or Abraham or Mohamed) and their honest opinion on various matters, I would invite the 'original Buddha' and question him about certain things. And what he thought about consumerism and capitalism. (and whether he thought that it was human nature to just compete.)
Always get to the original source eh?
Or maybe just get all of them into one room, and make them debate (on a TED conversation!). And just watch that for 20 minutes. Be good enough for me.Apr 10 2013: Christopher Marlowe: He seems to have been a man ahead of his time...Gay, Atheist, probable secret agent...

Sometimes a misfortunate event in one's life can promote a circumstance of opportunity. Such was the case when business owner and Camaro enthusiast Teddy Niotis lost his right foot and ankle to a diabetes-related staph infection. Teddy needed something to keep him motivated, something to keep his mind off a negative life experience. Building another Camaro was the perfect medicine to keep his life heading in a healing direction.
As is the case with so many project car starting points, Teddy used eBay to dig out the perfect candidate for his therapy. He found a 1970 Chevy Camaro located in Orange County, California, for a mere $815 bones. "I paid $1,000 to have the car transported here to Grand Haven, Michigan," Teddy says. "The car had no interior, frontend, or drivetrain-it was exactly what I was looking for."
Not long after the car arrived, Teddy got the shell of a Camaro in the garage and began the disassembly process. After six months on a rotisserie, the car was finally sandblasted and sent to the body shop. From that point on, the fun really started: parts ordering.
"A good friend of mine, Mike, told me this project was a bad investment and that I should just sell the thing, but I wouldn't listen," Teddy says. "Nothing was going to change my mind; I was 100 percent focused on building an awesome Pro Touring Camaro with the latest aftermarket parts."
With the car back from the body shop, Teddy finally got his prosthetic leg and began working full bore on the car. "Come to find out, there were a lot of things I couldn't do like I could before. My friends really stepped up and helped out. I can't thank Jason Pittman, Dave Vaneck, and Steve Wierengo enough for all they did for me-physically and mentally," Teddy says.
Teddy and his gang worked meticulously on the car. From smoothing the firewall to lining up all the hood and door gaps, not much if anything was overlooked. The subframe was re-welded, and they welded in a set of custom-made subframe connectors. Just to shake things up a bit, a dash and center console from an '02 Trans Am found itself as part of the interior.
"I wanted the engine compartment to be one of a kind, so I dressed up the engine bay with pretty much every chrome and billet part I could find," Teddy says. "There's not much in there that doesn't demand your attention."
That's the whole point, isn't it Teddy? Baker Engineering assembled the balanced and blueprinted 383 Stroker; it's bored 0.030 over and stroked 3.75 inches. E-Tec Edelbrock cylinder heads smother the 9.5:1 SRP pistons, while a BEI cam comes in with an intake lift of 0.544 and duration of 236, while the exhaust side features a 0.531 lift and duration of 242. You're probably thinking Teddy went a little cautious on the compression ratio, but the MagnaCharger M112 puts to rest any preconceived notions that he's building a poser.
Rated at 540 hp, an A1000 Aeromotive fuel pump provides the greedy small-block plenty of swill to quench its octane thirst. A Melling oil pump keeps the crude circulating through the Milodon 7-quart pan. A Be Cool polished-aluminum radiator keeps engine temps in check and Billet Specialties' Tru Trac pulley system provides the function and form compliant with the remainder of the shiny parts.
MSD supplies the fire, and ceramic-coated Hooker Super Comp headers sort waste through a 21/2-inch Flowmaster exhaust system hushed through a set of Flowmaster American Thunder mufflers.
Zippy Performance beefed up the GM 4L60E transmission and mated it to a 3200 stall converter. Twist manifests its way down the D&R custom-built driveshaft managed by a 12-bolt posi unit armed with 3.73 gears.

Boston, Mass.
Boston is the state capital, the seat of Suffolk County, and the largest city in Massachusetts. It is located in the eastern part of the state on Massachusetts Bay. It was incorporated as a city in 1822. No city in the U.S. is richer in historical associations than Boston, and no city has retained more of its original buildings as memorials to America's past.
The first European settler was Rev. William Blackstone, who arrived in 1623, just three years after the Pilgrims had landed at Plymouth in 1620. He was joined by Puritans from England in 1630. They named their new town Boston, after the former home of many of them in Lincolnshire, England. Fourteen years later, the pioneer Bostonians set aside the first public park in the U.S.—the Boston Common. The following year, 1635, they opened the first free public school in America. Today, the Boston area is home to 68 colleges and universities.
Boston is a major industrial, financial, and educational hub and has one of the finest ports in the world. The city's banking and financial services, insurance, and real estate sectors continue to drive Boston's economy. Boston is also a leading city in health care, with 25 inpatient hospitals and numerous community health centers. The city's unique cultural and historic heritage makes it a center of tourism, and its hotel industry ranks among the highest in the nation in occupancy. Boston's other businesses are in high technology, biotechnology, software, and electronics.
The city's tourist attractions include Faneuil Hall Marketplace, the JFK Library and Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, the New England Aquarium, the USS Constitution, and many historic buildings and neighborhoods.
Mayor Thomas Menino easily won reelection in the November 2009 elections.

WAUKON, Iowa - Governor Terry Branstad was in Waukon Tuesday morning touring damage caused by flash flooding over the weekend.
The flooding caused significant damage to businesses located on First and Main Streets, including Cunningham's Hardware Store where the flooding caused an estimated $3 million damage.
Homeowners said water was waist deep early Sunday morning. Residents say more than 5" of rain fell on the area, causing the flooding.
Governor Branstad said the damage is much worse than he expected. On Monday, the Governor declared the Waukon a state disaster area. Branstad is now seeking a federal disaster declaration.

Black is no stranger to the world of interior design. It adorns sofas, desks, entertainment centers, tables and accessories. But consumers willing to take a little risk with their interior design are starting to use black in larger swaths – particularly walls – with bold, stylish results.
"Black walls are very current right now, but I think a lot of people shy away from them because they have this sort of macabre reputation," says Amy Devers, a carpenter on The Learning Channel's Trading Spaces. "But depending on how you do it, it really doesn't have to be that way at all. Ultimately, black is always chic, and though it's dark, it is a neutral and goes with everything."
Think of a black wall as the equivalent of the little black dress: It takes many forms and can really shine when paired with the proper accessories. Devers offers her tips for successfully dressing up – and pulling off – the black wall in any room.
Start small. As any prudent designer knows, suggesting small doses of change to wary clients is a smart strategy that can have far-reaching effects. For example, the bathroom may be the perfect place to branch out with black. "The mirrors and typically chrome fixtures that are already in there really pop against the black and create a dynamic environment," Devers notes, adding that fireplace surrounds, built-in shelves, trim, and window and door casings are also good places to experiment with black paint.
Think patterns and texture. Consider painting a wall a flat black, then covering it with a sheen in the form of a graphic repeating pattern. Devers suggests vintage floral or geometric '80s pop art patterns. "The sheen change is very subtle and elegant," she says.
Treat the wall like a piece of artwork. "I like the idea of painting one whole wall black and then framing it with profile molding painted in a gloss black," Devers says. "It's like a giant picture frame on one wall." She also recommends buying pre-stretched blank canvases or fence boards, painting them black, and hanging them on a wall covered in black flat paint. "You now have a relief that catches the light, creates some shadow and gives the wall texture and merit," she says.
Experiment with gradation. "If you have a large, well-lit room, particularly one with high ceilings, paint the walls black up to about eye level, switch to a gray up to the ceiling, then finish off the room with a white ceiling," Devers says. "The black anchors the wall while the gray creates the impression that the room is opening up to a white sky. The effect is stunning. When used on one wall or two adjacent walls in a smaller room, it can really make the room seem much bigger, and the gradation is very uplifting."
Pick the right lighting and accessories. Picking the right type of lighting for a black wall is important, since it will absorb light. "Track lighting can work well because you can angle the lights to hit the dark spots," Devers says. She also likes to use big, bold light fixtures in tandem with black walls. Her choices: opulent chandeliers (vintage ones look particularly beautiful, she notes) and pendant lights with mini bulbs. Also, consider using high-gloss paint rather than a flat or eggshell finish, because glossy paint reflects light, multiplying it and adding sparkle to the room. From an accessories standpoint, go for pops of color against the black. Devers identifies butter cream and greens as popular accent hues against black walls, because their very neutrality provides a great backdrop to experiment with a wide array of additional colors within the room.

Whether we're scared, feeling awkward, or don't know what to say, we are often worried we will say the wrong thing. How we communicate with loved ones, family members, acquaintances or even strangers who are living with cancer, is an important way to show love and support. Supporting someone with cancer requires paying attention to what that individual wants and needs, and knowing what to do and what not to do. click for more

A brake is a device for slowing or stopping the motion of a machine or vehicle, or alternatively a device to restrain it from starting to move again. The kinetic energy lost by the moving part is usually translated to heat by friction. Alternatively, in regenerative braking, much of the energy is recovered and stored in a flywheel, capacitor or turned into alternating current by an alternator, then rectified and stored in a battery for later use.
Note that kinetic energy increases with the square of the velocity (E = 1/2·m·v2 relationship). This means that if the speed of a vehicle doubles, it has four times as much energy. The brakes must therefore dissipate four times as much energy to stop it and consequently the braking distance is four times as long.
Brakes of some description are fitted to most wheeled vehicles, including automobiles of all kinds, trucks, trains, motorcycles, and bicycles. Baggage carts and shopping carts may have them for use on a moving ramp.
Some aeroplanes are fitted with wheel brakes on the undercarriage. Some aircraft also feature air brakes designed to slow them down in flight. Notable examples include gliders and some WWII-era fighter aircraft. These allow the aircraft to maintain a safe speed in a steep descent. The Saab B 17 dive bomber used the deployed undercarriage as an air brake.
Deceleration and avoiding acceleration when going downhill can also be achieved by using a low gear; see engine braking.
Friction brakes on cars store the heat in the rotating part (drum brake or disc brake) during the brake application and release it to the air gradually.
The action of braking for motor vehicles produces recognizable sound level emissions, varying with the specific tire types and with the roadway surface type produces considerable effect upon sound levels or noise pollution emanating from moving vehicles. There is a considerable range in acoustical intensities produced depending upon the specific tire tread design and the rapidity of deceleration required to slow the vehicle.

text: Hi everyone, I have to share this info with you in case it helps anyone out there. Dixie Botanicals is now selling CBD tinctures that are legal in all 50 states. They contain no THC and are made from hemp. I have the 100mg bottle at home now and I'm trying it out for my chronic pain (possibly fibromyalgia) and my general anxiety. Its too early to tell how helpful it is because the pain is SO intense I can't really decide how helpful it is quite yet. I'm focusing a lot more on my pain lately. Anyway I hope this info is useful to some of you. I'd love to hear what other people think of the stuff.

Did you happen to notice last two months that PBS Kids and the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) partnered together to create special Earth Day-themed episodes of popular TV shows? While all of the special episodes have already aired, you can still check out the activities that go along with them online. This should provide some fun for you and your child this coming summer. After all, there's no better way to start off the spring and summer than with exploring the great outdoors!
The specially themed episodes were aimed at inspiring children and their families to go outdoors and explore science and nature.Lesli Rotenberg, Senior Vice President of Children's Media at PBS, said, "Outdoor play and exploration is an essential part of every child's life, and is one of the best ways to inspire kids to learn about the world around them." The partnership involved new episodes, activities, and content which was featured online.
Thankfully, the fun didn't end when Earth Day was over. You can still access all of the great activity ideas online. The activities include a Wild Kratts Wildlife Journal activity that instructs your child in making their own journal. It then suggests kids draw animals or insects that they find in nature. Another activity is a Seek and Find sheet. Children circle the 15 animals hidden in the sheet.

Having two hotels in Yerevan's central square is not admissible, President of the Union of Architects of Armenia Mkrtych Minasyan told journalists on Saturday, when asked to comment on the Armenian Government's decision to sell the building of the Foreign Ministry for a luxury hotel project.
"Any country should have luxury hotels but not in the central square of its capital. The building of Marriott Armenia Hotel was initially designed for a hotel but the one housing the Foreign Ministry has always been an administrative building," Minasyan said.
On Oct 4 the Armenian Government sold the building of the Foreign Ministry in Republic Square to Tango CJSC for $51.2mln. The company belongs to Argentinean businessman Eduardo Eurnekian and is registered in the territory of Zvartnots Airport.

Bangkok mass transit systems
Bangkok's mass transit systems are safe, comfortable, reliable and convenient. Many of the city's attractions are easily reached on either the BTS Skytrain or MRT underground, or both. The stations listed below are the closest to the hotel.
Nana and Asok BTS Skytrain Stations
Either station is an 8 minute walk or a 5 minute drive by our complimentary Tuk Tuk Shuttle Service from Royal President.
The BTS Skytrain has two routes – Sukhumvit Line & Silom Line – which cover much of the central city areas. Trains run daily from 6 am – 12 pm midnight, with the schedule seeing trains run every few minutes during the day and more frequently during rush hour. (Click here for BTS Map)
Ticket Types
Single Journey
- Ticket is valid for a single journey on day of issue, with the fare depending upon length of destination and ranging from THB 15 – 40 per journey.
- Tickets can be purchased from ticket offices and vending machines located at the stations.
One Day Pass
- Valid for unlimited journeys on the date of issue or registration only
- THB 130 per pass, non-refundable
- Tickets can be purchased from ticket offices located at the stations.
Sukhumvit MRT Metro (Nearest Station)
An 8 minute walk or a 5 minute drive by our complimentary Tuk Tuk Shuttle Service from Royal President.
The 18 station subway line stretches 20 km from Hualamphong to Bang Sue. Trains run daily from 6 am – 12 pm midnight, with a frequency of under five minutes during peak hours and under 10 minutes during off peak hours. (Click here for MRT Map)
Ticket Types
Single Journey Token
- Ticket is valid for a single journey on day of issue, with the fare depending upon length of destination and ranging from THB 16 – 40 per journey for adults and from THB 8 – 20 for children and the elderly.
Stored Journey Card
- Various Stored Value Cards are available for adults, children and the elderly, students and business travelers, as are one, three and 30 day and premier passes
Metered air-con taxis are available around-the-clock. Flag fall is THB 35 (for the first 2 km) and the fare climbs in THB 2 increments. Tipping is not required but rounding up is common. For trips to/from the airport, expressway toll fees will be borne by the passenger.
Word of caution: Check with the driver that he intends on using the meter before getting in, and ensure that he turns it on once you are in.
Locally known as 'samlor' these are three-wheeled taxis. Bargain the fare before hopping on board and beware of fares which seem too good to be true as this can be a way to lure you to overpriced souvenir or jewelry shops. The approximate cost for a short 10 minute ride is around THB 40 - 100.
The city's extensive and inexpensive public bus network ranges in price from THB 8 to THB 30 depending on the type of bus. Typically, destinations are given only in Thai and so it is advisable to obtain a bus route map (available at most hotels, Tourism Authority of Thailand offices and bookshops).

Boot Swipes' resilient bristles sweep lug soles clean.
You've slogged through mud and now your boots are a grimy, slimy mess. Clean up your act quick with the Boot Swipe. Its resilient prongs reach into the deepest tread to whisk away all manner of gunk. Cleats on the bottom hold it in place on dirt, grass or hard surfaces, so you can use it anywhere. Completely self-contained and portable (has its own handle), it's easy to toss in your truck, ready to scrub away grunge at the job site, farm or fishing hole. Works in hot or cold weather, lasts through years of scuffing and scraping. Even has pre-made holes so you can secure it outside a doorway. Better order a couple, because once your wife sees it, she'll "borrow" it to clean her gardening shoes. Bonus: Hang it on the wall and it makes a bear-sized back-scratcher!

Best Uses
This baby lives on the back porch and does what no doormat can do. It gets caked mud off the soles of hunting boots--the kind with the knobby treads. No doormat can reach between those things and get the mud. But this little round mat gets up in there, and the mud drops off!
I've stopped finding flat cakes of mud with small holes in them all over the house.
The mat also works on my more ordinary country walking shoes.
I couldn't be more pleased.
Best Uses
This product is awesome. Works great and is so easy to clean.
It is portable but stays put where every you place it.
Cleans off the worst muck and just flip it over or hose it down to clean it.
Best Uses
I am really glad to find this product and the price is more than fair.
Best Uses
Since I have chickens and a garden, I wanted something that would be effective enough to clean my boots or shoes before I go inside. Both doors have concrete entries and I did not want to drill holes to secure a brush type scrubber. This one is heavy enough to not blow away and works very well.

Yea, in 5.3. I'm saying that, on live, I'm not convinced it's worth bringing 522s to arena- not only do you give up power, but you give up giant chunks of resil- both of which are part of the 2 and 4 piece. Obviously in 5.3 LFR = Normal = Heroic, and you get your normal amount of resil, but still lack the power and larger energy pool.
Only 4 piece gives resil. It's significant though, 1k bonus alone.

It's possible they may just turn off pve set bonuses in pvp and vice versa - I can't imagine this will be the last and only instance of a pve set bonus being broken in pvp.

Tbh, i hope they do so. It's just the fact that if i want to PvP, i should be able to gear up and get better only through PvP and same for PvE.
Any tentative to "merge" the two aspects of the game results in Opness and/or failure, so better treat them as separate things.
i7-5820k @ 4.4GHz|16GB DDR4 2400MHz|EVGA GTX 670 FTW x2 SLI|Samsung 830 128GB SSD
Tbh, i can see the point of that because "hey, i want to start PvP and i don't have any gear, i need to make it some way".
But then, random BGs. Gear counts nearly nothing there - it's just mindless farm until you get your honor pieces then start to do some organized arena/rbg.
It's like LFR - you need the gear for a progression feeling, not like because you actually need it.
To be honest, seperating the set bonuses works fine really. Stops gear being broken outside of it's natural home, and gives incentive to get the primary gear of activity - you'll be fine in pve gear in pvp, but you'll get bonuses for using the right gear and vice versa.

All that it's going to change is the required starting energy though.. it won't make the damage any less.
Right, fixed it now. Dancing max damage actually does require a full energy bar afterall and you'll be completely dry when it ends.
Honestly I knew it was too good to be true, thanks for the catch.

And yeah, people notice that when it hit them. Get tons of insulting whispers every time. :'(
(Check my stream if you want to see it in action btw, I spend most of my time doing conquest cap boost with 4p 535, link is below.)
Still don't get why people buy "boosts" for cap though, just join and instaleave a queue pop and you can faceroll at 800 mmr :/

Yeah. It will kill. But outside of that very, very small window, you're sitting here with useless PvE gear, which means that you're dealing less than you would with malev gear, and you're taking TONS of damage due to having only 4k5 resi.
Again, it is viable in 2s or outdoor, but not in games that last more than an opening burst.
As for the cap boosts, probably because 1500 golds is worth not having to wait for ages to lower mmr and still face absurdly geared opponents, plus people buying it are generally still wearing greens and pve blues.
This was the first thing that came to my mind when i first saw the bonus. Many rogues will use 4 set PVE for the sheer killing power it offers. I will for sure use it in 2s.
I was talking about live, and not 5.3 - not specially answering your precise post #34 but the whole question in this thread that nobody has really answered: why people don't use it.
As for 5.3, losing 39 iLvl for each piece of set won't make it interesting enough in my opinion, even with the nerf of pvp power.

I took my Gunslinger 2 camping no one batted an eye at it. But I have the bag for totally different reasons. Mines mainly for emergencies.
Sanctified and I should get some sort of comission for this!!!!
Agreed, The reason I like the GR's, is because of how sleek and "unofensive" they look, eg: Not like i'm carrying a ak-47 or a bomb just because of the cameo-multi-cam appareance on a day to day use.
Edit: Advancer would you be so kinda as to post a down to earth review on the GR1 when you receive it? Those people on EDC are hard... Either they find it too expensive or the reviews there seem to over the top eg seems GRs marketing team wrote them.

An awesomely cool guy that seems to attract alot of good friends. a very nice person to be around, and is not afraid to be himself. Benjamin's tend to be out going, a little cheeky, and they are always smiling. Almost like a golden retriever! They are very hard to tick off, and when they do get mad, they are quick to get over them selves.
Wow, that guy is just radiating Benjaminness!!

Benjamins are 100 dollar bills
the reason people call them Benjamins is because the face on the bill is of Benjamin Franklin who was a publisher, a philosopher, a scientist, and the first major American inventor.

- Love this brush! Review by Lisa
Quality Value Price
I really do love this brush. It is super soft and feels luxurious on your face. I use it to apply pressed powder and it works marvelously. I was looking for a softer brush because my old brush was not skin friendly. This brush is everything I was looking for and more! Mine does not shed. LOVE IT!

- Good but needs improvement Review by Oona
Quality Value Price
This brush is the best brush I've ever used in terms of applying foundation. Problem is, it shed -- a lot. As in 20+ hairs on my face after applying loose base. I know brushes shed a little, but this was over the top. I tried washing several times to reduce shedding, to no avail. I had to use another brush to brush the hairs off my face. The final straw: the handle came off. The salon I bought it from would not take it back. They were apparently not a licensed distributor so GloMinerals didn't want to take it back. So I was stuck with it. $40 down the toilet, so I thought. Fast forward 2 years later, I still use it every day. It is still the best applicator. The shedding is almost zero, though sometimes I still get a couple hairs. The handle kept coming off, so I use it without, and it's actually easier. Problem is now storing it properly for travel, so I am ordering the retractable one.

 Hi Oona, We love the fact that you liked the brush so much that you kept using it despite having problems. However, we would really like to talk to you a bit more about the brush and where you got it. Please contact us at email@example.com.

- Great Brush! Review by Michelle
Quality Value Price
Love this brush! Smooths over any press or loose base powder evenly and looks flawless on skin! Everytime I put on my make up and use this brush it feels nice and light...in the past my make up would feel heavy or "caked" on. Very nice for summer months when it feels like your face is gonna melt off this helps keep make up in place.

- Best Powder Brush I have Ever Used!! Review by Kathryn
Quality Value Price
I am in love with the ultra brush! All it takes is one use and you will be hooked. It's super soft and perfect for applying the pressed, loose, or finishing powders. You never get those little hairs on your face. I will never use any other powder brush again!

Lawmaker plans to block plan to arm Arizona teachers
PHOENIX -- When teachers return to classroom after the long holiday break, they won't be armed but a state lawmaker expects a push in the upcoming legislative session to change that.
House Democratic leader Chad Campbell said arming teachers, principals or volunteer guards is a horrible idea, but he expects attempts from some Republicans. He said the solution is funding the school resource officer program which has been gutted since 2009.
"Basically by Gov. Brewer and the Tea Party for the past few years. We need to fund the school resource officer program," he said. "It puts trained law enforcement on the ground that knows how to do its job."
Campbell said funding also needs to be restored to threat assessment and emergency response planning in the schools so they have the tools they need.
"It is time for common sense," he said. "We don't need knee-jerk reactions and putting weapons in the hands of teachers is not the right thing to do. I have yet to talk with a teacher who wants that responsibility."

Jeff Strange of Strange Engineering
The next time you think you're having a bad day, be thankful you're not a rearend. In an era when anyone can build a 500hp small-block and have DOT-approved tires and cut sub-1.5-second short times, rearends endure a brutal existence. Fortunately, the days of scouring junkyards for a dwindling supply of factory 12-bolts are just about gone. With the aftermarket stepping up with quality rearends built entirely from scratch, hot rodders have more options than ever when it comes to driveline fortification.
Leading the charge in ensuring driveline reliability in your street machine is Strange Engineering. For more than 40 years, Strange has been a premiere manufacturer of quality aftermarket rearend and suspension components for applications ranging from street cruisers to professional drag-racing chassis. With bolt-in housings and rearend components for A-, F-, and G-bodies, Strange has the Chevy camp thoroughly covered. Although driveline parts haven't changed much in outward appearance since the '60s, the technology and manufacturing techniques that go into them have evolved dramatically. To get educated on these advances, we sought the expertise of Strange's Jeff Stange. Here are his tips on components selection, how to avoid common problems, and putting your money where it counts.
Junkyard Vs. New
Used rearends are often more than 20 years old and have seen a fair amount of abuse-not necessarily desirable in a performance upgrade. In addition to saving you the time and effort of digging in junkyards, another key benefit of aftermarket rearends is that they address the weak points of factory designs. "Our 12-bolt and S60 bolt-in rearends feature full 360-degree welds at the tubes and nodular iron or chrome-moly differential caps," says Jeff. "New rearends also feature 3.150-inch bearing and 1.5635-inch axle bearing surfaces, far superior to factory GM specifications. The castings we use for our 12-bolt and S60 rearends are cast from premium nodular iron and were designed to be more rigid through the use of computer modeling for improved durability and quieter and longer-lasting gears."
Iron Cases
For many Bow Tie fans, brand loyalty takes a back seat to practicality when opting to run a 9-inch rearend. One of the 9-inch's benefits is the vast array of parts to chose from, but that can also add confusion to rearend building, especially when it comes to third members. Factory 9-inch cases were manufactured from gray iron and nodular iron. According to Jeff, nodular iron is 50 percent stronger than gray iron, which is a very brittle material. Junkyard 9-inch cases are very difficult to find these days, and he advises against using a non-nodular case for any of today's applications. "OEM nodular cases, which have an 'N' cast onto them, are fine for street cruisers but not for race cars," he explains. "All our iron cases are cast from premium-grade nodular iron and manufactured by us in the United States. There is no point in manufacturing an aftermarket case from gray iron or other inferior materials, when nodular iron increases strength by 50 percent and is far more ductile. Strange offers two types of nodular iron cases: The S-Series nodular iron case is recommended for applications up to 850 hp, and our Pro nodular iron case can be used on applications that exceed 850 hp."
Aluminum Cases
There is a time and place to use aluminum in a street machine, but a rearend isn't one of them. Aluminum cases are hot in the street rod scene for aesthetic purposes, and they are plenty adequate for many moderate-horsepower street vehicles. However, other than looks, an aluminum case really has no benefits. "A nodular iron case is a much better choice for street use, and the weight break with aluminum is negligible," Jeff explains. "For a musclecar weighing more than 3,000 pounds, a nodular iron case provides a much better foundation for the rearend assembly.
