Re: What got you started playing drums?
Drummer- It wasn't a drummer that got me interested in drums, it was my kindergarten teacher who told my Mom I was able to keep a solid rythem at age 5.
Person- My first drum teacher who was an old black percusionist from New Orleans. I took drum and marimba lessons from him. He wore a suit and smoked a cigar every day. There were cigar ashes in his snare head, which had actual ruffled edges! He used to have me mimic his riffs and often had me close my eyes and repeat what he played.
Style- I think I naturally play more of a jazz/blues style because of my instructor. Although I really loved Sousa marches and played in drum and bugle corp for a few years tso some of that creeps in on occasion.
Inspirations -Neil Peart mesmorizes me. I am a bit disillusioned by the emphasis on speed and power in today's music. Some of my favorite drummers to listen to are very subtle in how they demonstrate their skills. Lots of session drummers from Steely Dan, Steve Miller, Elton John have always caught my attention. Steve Smith does things that are not over the top but I also have to go back and try to figure out what he is doing.
Re: What got you started playing drums?
I'm not sure what actually happened to make me want to play, I just always wanted to hit things with lumps of wood! I would sit watching bands on Top of the Pops and drum along on my legs, and then the floor once I got some sticks. My biggest influence in my early years was Phil Collins and Genesis, as well as my diverse tastes in music which have seen me play everything from musicals to punk and all points in between. I think what younger players lack in education and what you can learn from other genres results from the plethora of specialized musical inputs that they can choose from. There is nothing like 2 radio stations and 2 tv stations to limit your choices and that she expose you to things you might otherwise not choose to expose yourself to. The ability to avoid what isn't directly your thing allows younger players to avoid everything but their first choice, meaning that kids grow up on a singular diet of rubbish pop or Rn'B or death metal or whatever. Ultimately this specialization can only be to the detriment of their own musical development.
Hit me with your rhythm stick
Re: What got you started playing drums?
Music- Grand Funk - Led Zep - Sabbath
Drummer- Don Brewer
Person- No one in particular. Any good rock drummer has my respect.
Inspirations- $75.00 complete Rockwood drum set
This is my 1st post, so here is a little of my background:
I am 54 and a lifelong air drummer (aka: wannabe), but have been playing the real thing for 6 month's total now. I actually bought the drums 2 years ago, but had a problem with my left hand that kept me from holding onto a stick. Got that out of the way, and have been playing and practicing 3-4 times a week when work allows.
I remember listening to Don Brewer on the 1st GFRR Live Album.. I was amazed at his drum solo.. and kept thinking his solo was incorporating a train running down the tracks, backing up, going forward again (you know how kids think). GR was my 1st live concert, and I was watching him in amazement all night. I'll play that solo 1 day, I have to.. it's in my DNA now.
Re: What got you started playing drums?
Yep, Brewer has that great opening to "We're an American Band". Gets your attention.
My initial inspiration was Phil Collins, late 1970's Genesis.
Re: What got you started playing drums?
What inspired me was a few things:
1. I watched Kiss and wanted to be like Peter Criss....the Catman was cooool
2. When I was thinking about playing in school, the musical director wanted me to play the french horn......nope. I went to watch the band and everyone was nerdy / uncool. The exceptions were the drummers.....they had long hair, earrings and smoked.......wanted to be like them
3. Chicks
Re: What got you started playing drums?
My musical career began with the clarinet. I got ribbed quite a bit for it, so I switched to the drums. Learning to read music has always been helpful and I am glad I began with the clarinet, although I rarely looked back until my son began to play a couple years ago. He is very good and decided to switch to the saxophone, where he also excels.
Sorry, forgot these...
Music- ELP without a doubt has had the most influence on my drumming and music preferences
Drummer- Carl Palmer of course. However, Carl Albrecht (Christian drummer for Paul BeLoche) has taught me more about the nuances of drumming where being the quickest and loudest is not best, but playing with discipline, musically and enhancing the music with the tools you have is what matters most.
Person- Mom, she also said if I had to hit something, hit these.
Style- I play rock, soul and ballads most of the time, but also love Funk and Jazz
Inspirations- I began as a teenager, fast, loud, and jamming for hours. A 20 year break found me on stage at a Baptist church. I cannot describe that feeling of drumming while simultaneously worshiping. It is indescribable.

Re: What got you started playing drums?
How did I get started?
I was quite a tearaway when I was younger, the area I grew up is not the most salubrious. My father got tired of the police bringing me home so he bought me a kit at 13, with the words "If you're going to hit something; hit these." Along with rugby and boxing, a brilliant way to channel my aggression at the time and the rest is, as they say, history.
As for your questions:
Music- Motorhead, Dead Kennedys, Pistols, Damned, Venom, Tank etc.
Drummer- Has to be Phil Taylor, I so wanted to play for Motorhead. Nowadays, anyone I can steal an idea from!! ;-)
Person- My father and his insight.
Style- Anything now, but when I started; Punk, Thrash, Hardcore etc.
Inspirations- Dave Howarth, my first drum teacher, and being able to sight read 'Love Me Do' by The Beatles without knowing the song first. That was my epiphany.
Drinking rum before 10am makes you a PIRATE, not an alcoholic...........
Re: What got you started playing drums?
I just picked up some drum sticks and started to play, was always tapping my feet and fingers to music and it just kinda clicked :D
Music - Metal/Rock/Punk (Rammstein, Green Day, Avenged Sevenfold, AC/DC, 30STM)
Drummer - Christoph "Doom" Schneider / James Owen Sullivan "The Rev"
Person -My sister in law who bought my first drums and my best friend who taught me alot.
Style: Rock/Metal
Inspirations: Rammstein! Avenged Sevenfold and so many more.
Re: What got you started playing drums?
I played bass in the band I'm in, but we couldn't find a drummer we liked, so me and our singer went and bought a Peavey set from the 90s (Piece of shit, really), and I picked up the drums and our singer played bass. That was about a year ago and I have since upgraded to a Ludwig Club Date set, Blue Oyster Pearl. We have also found a bass player and are doing pretty good.
I like playing blues rock type stuff like The Black Keys, and garage rock type stuff like The Greenhornes, The White Stripes, and The Flat Duo Jets. Even indie stuff like The Strokes, Japanther, etc.
I'd say my inspirations are Mitch Mitchell, John Bonham, Patrick Carney, and Dave Grohl. Those are the main people I can think of.
Say girl
Re: What got you started playing drums?
When I was 5 or 6 my parents thought I should play an instrument, so they started me with accordion lessons. Back then, an accordion player could be essentially a 1 man band.
Well, I saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, got a copy of Meet the Beatles, and had other ideas. Initially I wanted to play guitar, but my favorite uncle, who was about 16 at the time, played the drums so that's what I wanted to do. My 1st kit was his hand-me -down
Music- Initially the Beatles, then the rock of the 60s and 70s
Drummer- Back then, there wasn't any pro drummer I felt the need to emulate. Now, I get inspiration from every drummer I see / hear
Person- my uncle
Style- jazz, improvisational rock / blues (ie Allman Brothers, Derek and the Dominoes). I was in a 4 piece jazz band for about 6 months in college and learned more about music and drumming with those guys then any other point in my life.
Inspirations- My love of music remains my inspiration and is the reason why I picked up the sticks again. We go to jazz clubs a few times a year. They're small enough so you can see all the musicians well, I'm always mesmerized by the drummer
Re: What got you started playing drums?
i alway wanted to play the drums but i never had the money to buy them D:
untill a week ago :)
i've bought the yamaha DTX530K because i wanted a kinda oldschool highhat control and not just a wire that's connected with the highhat
Re: What got you started playing drums?
I was, luckily, born into a musical family, some hobbyists, some pro, some semi-pro(?)...
Mom played piano pretty darn well, and like a few others, I was forced to start taking piano lessons prior to learning any other instrument...but it only took one lesson for Mom to realize that I was going to be too stubborn (man, if I knew then....).
So...I had a plethora of other instrumentalists to idolize. My great-grandfather was a traditional fiddler and stringed instrument guru, as well as a fairly well respected writer. My grandfather was a jazz/big band/blues saxaphonist and clarinet player. My great-uncle played the keys at local and family events. And then there was my Dad...the Drummer!
Well, I started "playing" drums around the age of 6. Joined the school concert band at 10, playing snare mostly, and then marching band at 13. Played in both school bands until I was 18, picking up a little varied percussion knowledge...
My best friend and I decided we were going to start a band (during the late grunge-era, yay) and so, we'd practice at my house and I'd use a set of my Dad's. Well, then we met this guy who'd been taking drum set lessons for a few years, and he blew me out of the water!!! So, I did what no one should ever do, and gave up my drum seat and picked up a bass guitar. Now, I grew to really enjoy playing the bass, but there was always that tinge of regret, and the fact that the drums were my 'first love'. So, when my life settled down about three years ago, I bought myself a set, sought out and found a church band to play in, and found some local 'jammers' to get together with on occasion...now I am actively trying to become a solid drummer, and am really enjoying it.
Practice, Improve, Repeat...
Re: What got you started playing drums?
Re: What got you started playing drums?
For me, it was 2 very distinct songs...I remember being a kid and playing "Love Hurts" by Nazareth on my Radio Shack cassette player (!), and just rewinding the drum fill that leads into the solo, listening to that for hours. Being the 70s, most drum sounds just didnt grab you, at least they didnt to me - I had never heard such a big drum sound before....
The 2nd, and what led me to begging my parents for a kit, was the first time I heard "I Love It Loud" by KISS. Again, big drum sound, and I knew I wanted to do that.
Re: What got you started playing drums?
It's really a weird story. It's 1.983, and I am 11. As a kid in a country where Rock was out of the media at the time, I am afraid of Heavy Metal. You know, it's loud and evil. This morning I go to school and see some Heavy Metal fans looking really sad. I am afraid of them, but I know one. I ask him what is going on. He tells me the terrible news: this famous band Iron Maiden were in an airplane that crashed yesterday. Every member of the band is dead except the drummer, but the doctors are going to cut one of his arms off. I am pretty shocked. Even these "evil" people deserve a good life.
Now it's that day's afternoon. I've come home and I am eating a sandwich and watching the TV. In the Spanish public TV of these years (1983) is very rare to see anything close to Rock, so that makes impossible to see anything harder than that. But there has to be some Metalhead working there today, I don't know how he could do that. I am eating my sandwhich and suddenly, before the starting of some boring TV show, there you have it: the videoclip of "The trooper". At first, it is really weird and agressive to me. But since the news from this morning I just think: "Well, let's watch this, just for showing some respect. It's just a song". And 30 seconds later, something makes a "click" inside my brain. "I like this song! It's amazing!"
"The trooper" is less than 4 minutes long. In less than that, two things happened that day: a new Metalhead was born and that boy decided he wanted to be a drummer. "Man, that drumkit is huge! That drummer is really cool with those rolls!" Next morning, that stupid rumour was over. And my hair grew long and remained long for more than twenty years. I always thought I owe something to Nicko McBrain.

Re: What got you started playing drums?
As far back as I can remember I have had the "drum bug". Every Christmas my parents would get me a toy drum set that would have broken heads by the time my birthday rolled around (which was two days later).
From what I remember, watching Rick Allen rock out in the early 80's is what really got me to want to play. The drum beat in Hello America resonated in my brain and its all I wanted to play. Plus I thought it was so cool in the video that he was positioned up in front of the band. I had never seen that before.
Finally Christmas 1989 my parents got me a "real" junior set. It was a piece. Of course I was ecstatic and started playing it at 6 in the morning.
I played every morning before school, and every day after school. My neighbors hated me.
Re: What got you started playing drums?
My dad used to play in many bands, including a Blues Brother tribute band. He would also sing while playing. My dad is my hero, and I had always loved the sound of drums. So, it was inevitable :)
Also, my best friend and I met when we were both 7, (15 years and still going!) , and she started playing guitar... So of course, my parents bought me a drum machine when I was 11, and we hit it off from there.
I always felt that I was a natural, but never put the time and effort into actually learning by instruction, tutoring, practice, etc. I would just jam out to what felt right, and had fun with it.
But, now that has changed, I am determined to learn and be the best I can be!
Re: What got you started playing drums?
Music: Late 60's California scene (Byrds, Mamas and Papas, Doors, CCR, Jefferson Airplane, Beach Boys, etc), British Invasion, and 70's Outlaw Country (all my dad's favorite music is what got me into listening to the drummer). Later, Stewart Copeland and Max Weinberg (I thought his close up on the "Born in the USA" video was the greatest).
Drummer: My cousin who was in a regional touring band in the mid 80's, and let me help set up and do a soundcheck with the band when they were in town. He also gave me my first Speed King and Ludwig snare (a COW student model, but much better that what I had at the time).
Style: I am a simple rock drummer, no more or less. I do appreciate all styles of music though, especially prog rock and jazz. Just because I can't do it doesn't mean that I don't like it.
Inspiration: Anytime I get a chance to go watch live music, regardless of the style, I go because I know that I will learn something by watching the drummer. It never fails.
Re: What got you started playing drums?
Not sure why the drums. My Mom said i was always tapping on things. But seeing Buddy on the tonight show definitely launched this journey.
Max Roach did it, Elvin Jones did it, but Roy Haynes didit and didit and didit.
Re: What got you started playing drums?
Well... I have been playing musical instruments since 2nd grade... now I'm not saying I'm any good, I'm probably the opposite, I just love music. I started playing the piano, then in fourth grade it was required by my school to learn an instrument, even though you already took lessons. There were five options: sax, flute, clarinet, trumpet and trombone... I was unique, and I liked being unique, and since nobody chose the trombone, that's the one I chose. So I played trombone until the beginning of 6th grade. My mom wanted me to take of the French horn, and so I did. And I really wanted to learn as many instruments as I possibly could, so I asked my mom if I could try out the dreams (I also thought that they would make me more popular, which didn't happen). I loved playing them, I fell in love right away. I played the French horn in the school's band in 6th, 7th and half of 8th grade, and switched over to percussion for the rest of 8th and all of 9th. In the end of the 8th grade to 9th grade me and my buddy jammed a few times. Then I went to a boarding school in Lake Tahoe, CA for 10th, and halfway through, I met a talented musician and him and I formed a band. I'm only in 11th grade (surprised ya didn't I?), and we finally got some original music out. I have come so far, socially, mentally and physically, as well as musically, since the 6th grade, and most of that was due to the drums (except physical). When I play the drums, I always look back to when I was really bad back then.
Re: What got you started playing drums?
I took a few drum lessons on a whim....mostly wanted to learn more about rhythm to apply to tap dancing. Once I started I was hooked.
I had always wanted to participate in music and drums just clicked.

Re: What got you started playing drums?
As a kid i played in pillows and later on every drum kit i could get my hands on,not that they were many,i am a self taught amateur and now i am starting again with teacher to get it right.As they say they cant put it in you and they cant take it out.
Re: What got you started playing drums?
The piano - played that in 1st & 2nd grade. I liked hammering the keys to make it loud and kinda naturally migrated to playing a snare drum in concert band ~3rd grade. It was one of those late 70's Acrolites. Didn't realize how sweet that snare was back then! Eventually, I took buckets and pots and pans and made a "drumset". It was all downhill from there...
Re: What got you started playing drums?
I have a cousin that showed me som live footage of Iron Maiden when i was maybe 10 years old or so. Back then, and still, Nick McBrain is awesome! I wanted to be like him behind the kit hehe.
Re: What got you started playing drums?
Kind of a custom here that, if you want, you take theoretical music classes (and singing classes) from the age of 6. Then, when you turn 8 you can start an instrument. I chose drums and percussion and have been following class ever since.
Music is something that runs in the family, so there was no doubt I was going to take music classes - and play an instrument.
Latest drum cover: Circus (Britney Spears) - Dirty Loops.
Re: What got you started playing drums?
In my school district you couldn't be in band until fifth grade but you could be in orchestra in second so I played violin to start. I was good and ended up in quite a few regional orchestras and stuff. I would spend my Saturdays at rehearsal and spent nearly all my time turned around trying to see what the drummers were doing. EventuAlly in eighth grade I switched and then I got caught up in high school drumline. A buddy of mine was into Dave Matthews and I fell in love with carter as a player and he really was how I found my way behind a kit.
Another buddy of mine who was the best drummer I've met was taking lessons from the guy who taught Chad Sexton of 311. Once I got into that realm I got a more formal appreciation of not only what a local guy like Chad was doing but introduced to artists like Gadd and Erskine.
Re: What got you started playing drums?
Only reason - Rick Allen ( Def Leppard )
Re: What got you started playing drums?
My father was a professional musician that never did anything in his life but play music. When I was two years old one of his bands used to practice in our basement. I gravitated (Or so I am told) to the drum kit and the guys in the band thought it was funny, so I kept doing it. Eventually I could play some and my Grandfather bought me a sweet ludwig red sparkle kit that I was too young to appreciate.
My father tells me I played on stage within a few years and took me to a studio where I ended up on some obscure recording that absolutely has no existence anymore.
The guy that was playing for my father at the time was a Bonham guy. Same hair, mustache, same style of playing. It was Ludwigs and a speed king from day one for me and his influence led me right into John Bonham.
Once I was old enough to join, I was in the school band and played drum set in the yearly school thing in my first year and that just fueled my fire even more because no one had ever done that before. I went on through marching band and played everything I could before losing interest to football and girls. My music teacher was a great guy and encouraged me to go to Berklee.
I took influence from the drummers from James Brown, Rufus, the Jeff Beck Wired stuff, Tony Williams. Stuff that felt good to play to me and was a contrast to my huge Bonham influence. That stuff all got me, or kept me going. I have had successes and failures and times when I dropped off altogether... but a lot of things made me start playing again.
I would say overall what made me start playing time after time again was just a love to play drums.
Sheesh, didnt mean to make it so long ;p

Re: What got you started playing drums?
By the time I was 8 I was already setting up mock "drums" and playing to my records. Music lover at a very you age - Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, Zeppelin, Rush, and eventually the greatest moment in the history of rock - Van Halen 1978. I was playing it all on drums, wingin' much of it on guitar. This was all from 10 years old to about 19. Never took lessons. It never crossed my mind.
Something that is incredible to me today, is that in the first ten years after I got my first kit, it never occurred to me to upgrade anything! I just played. In ten years all I added to that cheap, prehistoric 5 pc kit was another cheap abused bass and a couple toms (I needed more pieces for Rush tunes!). I never bought a better kit, quality cymbals, good pedals.
This $400 entry level Yamaha I own now is top of the line compared to that old thing I learned to play on.
Anyhow, there was a long break from drums as I dove into guitar from the late 80s to about 2008. Not the same sad story with my guitar gear.

Re: What got you started playing drums?
I started playing Drums too late, at the age of around 16. But since then I'm too crazy about drumming and want to learn more and more techniques. I have started a blog for drummers and other musicians please do have a lookhttp://themusicco.blogspot.in
Re: What got you started playing drums?
So it was in school basically. I grew up playing a lot of sport, so I considered myself pretty coordinated.. I also learned a bit of Trumpet and Piano before Drums, so music and rhythm weren't foreign to me. But, when the time came in school when we were shown a few simple beats on the drum kit, I struggled. One of my good mates, who was extremely uncoordinated was much, much better than me (Absolutely great guy.. But could not catch a beach ball..Sorry bud).. So that's when the stupidly competitive streak in me came through and I practiced my butt off to be better than him.. After putting that much effort into practice, I realised I loved playing the drums, started my first band a couple of months later, and I've now been playing for about 12 years.
So there you go. Looking back at it now, it's really kind of a bad way of getting into the drums... But my god am I glad I did!
Re: What got you started playing drums?

Re: What got you started playing drums?
I reckon I was ten or eleven. I remember watching Hocus Pocus and the guy in that (who, on watching the film again recently, is actaully a bit of a goon) has a drum kit. And I was like: I want that.
Re: What got you started playing drums?
Only been playing a couple of years but just started doing lessons.
Bored guitarist. I had a studio with two mates and there was a Pearl kit in there. Started knocking about on that and then bought a beginner V drum set. Upgraded recently. Loving it :-D
Guitar now bores me to death
Re: What got you started playing drums?
At the age of 15 all my classmates started to play guitar or bass, so then i thought that maybe I could start to play drums and form a band with them.
Re: What got you started playing drums?
KISS ALIVE! I remember I was in seventh grade, 1980, I was sitting in history class, long pencil with a big eraser, my history book on the desk and a pocket full of change. I, not even realizing I was doing it, began playing Rock and Roll All Nite and the teacher came over and asked if I played drums. I said no, why? She said you should, that sound good. A couple of weeks later, me, my mom and aunt made a late night run to Taco Bell, an hour away, and ALIVE was playing. Peter's solo came on and I started banging on the back of the seats. My mom said you can play this? That's when it hit me, I said yes, can I have a drum set for Christmas. My mom and grandma went in together and got me my first set and been playing since.
Re: What got you started playing drums?
Music - Green Day, Third Eye Blind
Drummer- My dad, Tre Cool, Casey Cooper
Person - Dad
Style - Rock, Pop, Any upbeat music
Inspirations - Seeing my awesome father jam on the drums and play along with guitarists really got me wanting to learn.
Anyone else get into drums because of their dad? I started banging on the drums when I was like 6, and I actually learned when I was around 10. I started playing on my churches band and now I love playing drums! I practice a lot and I think I'm getting better every day.
If I'm not playing drums, I'm probably sleeping.

Re: What got you started playing drums?
I wanted to play guitar. My best friend got a guitar and started taking lessons. I immediately noticed that my fingers do not move like that. Went home and told mom I wanted to play drums instead. She made me try the school band and I kept going after that.
Re: What got you started playing drums?
I was always quitting when things got tough! Piano lessons, basketball, homework and all the stuff growing up from grade school; I finally said to myself I'm going to take up drums and I'm going to stick with it. So started in the 7th grade with a plastic snare drum for Christmas( I'll never forget the name "Big Bash"). I read everything over and over as nothing else really interested me as drum stuff! Teaching myself by reading (and I was a slow reader) I mastered the single stroke roll, and practiced everyday before my parents got home from work as the noise they said had to stop. The double stroke was definitely much harder-Think tip bounce control; Powerful stuff! Still with no band in our small Catholic school I read everything I could get my hands on from the libraries as I knew nothing in music notations, so most music drum teaching books were out of my league. Searching stuff to read I learn of Baby Dodds, I found a book from CA Berkley School of Music by Dawson, describing various latin rhythms, with words instead of music notes! What a find! After 46 yrs and owner of 4 vintage kits, lots of small town gigs, a few big ones, I still have the same enthusiasm and the book from Dawson - but "Big Bash" is long gone!

10 Fantasy Performers to Ditch and Forget
Culpepper May as Well Have Been Throwing like this
Originally uploaded by Grafton.
Well folks, Week 2 is upon us, and that can mean only one thing–making unnecessarily rash decisions based on 60 minutes of football action. Everybody loves pushing the panic button every now and then. Hell, my roommates and I held three way trade talks earlier this week, and we each won the first week pretty easily. So here we go, the top 10 fantasy footballers to get rid of, or avoid accepting offers for. That is not to say that these guys will have poor seasons (some will), but just to say that their value will never be higher than it is right now. (Or the Thursday before Week 2 if you read this later). And awayyyyyy we go:
10) Reuben Droughns–Perhaps drafting a running back with an offensive line that isn't composed of pinatas would've been a good idea. I'm as guilty as anyone else here, though. I figured that if he had 1,200 yards rushing, as he has in each of the past two years, he'd been good for 6 – 8 touchdowns rather than the two he posted last year. Well, judging by Week 1's performance, he'll be lucky to reach 600 yards. And a touchdown. He'll be lucky to reach the red zone. But if your league gives you bonus points for running into the back of 2 offensive linemen at the same time, Droughns is your guy.
9) Jason Witten–The addition of Terrell Owens will hurt Terry Glenn too, but Witten's numbers will be more fickle. I don't think Witten will have a year anywhere close to what he had last year, unless Drew Bledsoe gets his feet out of those cement shoes Evan was talking about.
Ron Mexico, errr, Mike Vick–Lost in Vick's solid Week 1 performance was his 10-22 passing. Maybe he should try throwing right handed, the whole lefty thing doesn't see to be up his alley. Yeah, Vick apologists, tell me that he'll make plays with his legs, and THAT is where his value comes in. No, Vick's value comes in Weeks 1-8 when he actually can run around. And then some savvy defensive coordinator will find a way to keep him in the pocket, or Vick will get hurt, and you've got … uhh, I don't know. Pick a terrible quarterback. Sage Rosenfels. Moving on.
7) LaMont Jordan–The problems run deep here. How about a terrible offensive line. How about a terrible team attitude. How about Art "What is this game being played in front of me?" Shell. The real issue, though, is the 0 receptions. Last year he had 70. That's where his value was! The guy can't run. Hell, his fridge probably can't run. But he can average 3.5 yards a carry and do pretty well on swing passes. But if he doesn't get the swing passes? He's…
6) Edgerrin James–I watched a preaseason game, and this one was pretty clear. He's got a soft line–they're alright in pass protection (Kurt Warner, Anquan Boldin, and Larry Fitzgerald won't be on this list anywhere), but they can't run block. And now everyone in the desert is saying that he was a good acquisition for his good attitude too. Sounds like a cop out to me. They could've brought in Troy Brown from the Patriots and gotten a good attitude. This is just a good running back behind an abysmal offensive line. If you took the Cardinals line and put them in a battle royale with the Raiders line, a slap fight would break out in under 30 seconds. Guarantee it.
5) Cadillac Williams–At first I thought this was nothing to be worried about. I thought it was just his inconsistency shining through, but we knew that when we drafted him, no? If you didn't, you should have. Anyway, Chris Simms looked terrible in Week 1, and his backup, Bruce Gradkozalozalowski won't be going to any Pro Bowls anytime soon. Everyone was ready to make the best back in the NFL the #3 in fantasy drafts (LT) because of an unproven quarterback. Well what does that make this guy? His quarterback is proven. He's not good. He's not as bad as Baltimore made him look, but he's pretty bad.
4) Daunte Culpepper–Have you seen this man read a defense? It's like watching a blind guy read a book. There's funny faces, there's a lot of yelling, and sooner or later somebody's gonna get him a braille book. And the braille book is either Randy Moss again, or a backup job. Since I don't see Al Davis trading Randy Moss anytime soon, its struggles ahead for Daunte.
3) Kevin Jones–I was on the Kevin Jones bandwagon from the get go this preseason. He was gonna be Marshall Faulk in Mike Martz's offense. Except, the line stinks, he's not nearly as good as Faulk was (shoulda seen that one coming), and Jon Kitna is good, but not Kurt Warner good. D'OH!
2) Willis McGahee–The dude hasn't scored in 11 STRAIGHT GAMES! Come on. How can you even have a roster spot if you go almost 75% of a season without scoring? Add to this that Buffalo brought in Anthony Thomas as something of a goal line back, and there's no end in sight for this no-TD train. J.P. Losman isn't going to do him any favors either. Tough break, Willis owners.
1) Tiki Barber–Hear me out on this one. Barber is a very good back. And he'll have a solid year. But if you can get another viable top RB for him, do it. Tiki will get his yards, and might've been called an all time great if his ability had been seen earlier (ie. not platooning him with Ron Dayne for 3 years). But sadly, Brandon Jacobs is a beast. He's a tank. Nay, he's faster. He's a tank on top of a sports car. And he's going to steal all the goal line carries. Unless Tiki scores from 10 yards out, he's not going to score. Sad but true.

The Best Rib Tip and Hot Link Combo in Chicago
In most parts of the country, rib tips are the unwanted bits from a properly trimmed spare rib. Fatty and absolutely riddled with bits of cartilage, they are hard to eat and about as delicate as a sledgehammer. But in Chicago they are the foundation of one of our city's most delicious culinary creations: the rib tip and hot link combo. Here's our look at the best in the city. More

The St. John's Christian Academy Lady Cavaliers softball team took one on the chin courtesy of Pinewood Prep on Saturday, losing 7-1, but Coach Ed Taylor knew this going in.
"They're a bigger team and a better team, but we needed the experience against these bigger and better teams so we can improve ourselves," he said.
After posting three wins during the week, 15-0 over Orangeburg Christian, 19-7 over Cathedral Academy and 17-2 over Faith Christian, the Lady Cavs faced a Panthers team featuring one of the top softball hitters in the nation in centerfielder and leadoff hitter Austin Utsey.
Utsey has racked up a .744 batting average so far this season, unofficially 13th in the nation according to Panthers Coach Marcus Smith. The senior leadoff hitter has 29 hits, scored 23 runs and stolen 39 bases through 14 games this season.
Against SJCA Utsey went 4-4 with four runs scored.
For the Lady Cavs Parker Blackmon singled home the lone run in the fifth inning.
"We have some tough games this week with some similar pitching as Pinewood Prep and we needed the experience," Taylor said.
St. John's also played the game a little shorthanded as two of their players had to miss the game because of college trip commitments so Taylor had to pull up a couple players from the JV squad.
"This was a difficult game to play," he told his team afterwards, "But this will make us better and more prepared come playoff time and our goal is to take everyone to state this year."
The Lady Cavs are currently 2-0 in region play and 5-6 overall, which includes games against Cane Bay and Pinewood Prep.
In the 15-0 win over Orangeburg Christian, the bats came alive keyed by a pair of home runs by Haley Singletary and a solo homer by Sara Hamm. SJCA blew the game open with a 10-run second inning as they sent 14 hitters to the plate.
In the 17-2 win over Faith Christian, Hamm again at the hot stick going 3 for 3 with three runs scored and a pair of RBIs. Singletary picked up the win in the circle.
SJCA exploded for 19 runs in the 19-7 win over Cathedral.
Christiana Mitchum rapped out a pair of hits and scored twice, Singletary had two hits as well and scored three runs and Hamm once again provided the big stick with a double and a triple and four RBIs.
The Lady Cavs have some big games on the schedule this week against Academic Magnet and First Baptist.

The American Red Cross is calling on eligible donors with all blood types to help maintain a sufficient blood supply this summer.
All eligible blood donors are being encouraged to make an appointment to donate blood soon to help prevent a shortage.
During the summer months, on average, about two fewer donors give blood at each Red Cross blood drive than what is needed to meet the needs of patients. Vacations and summer activities are among the reasons regular donors may not find the time to give. But patients dont get a vacation from needing blood the need is constant.
As a national network, the Red Cross has a unique responsibility to help ensure blood is available for patients whenever and wherever it is needed.
By donating blood or platelets through the Red Cross, donors may be helping patients in their community or patients across the nation.
Red blood cells have a shelf life of only 42 days and platelets just five days, so they must constantly be replenished.
To learn more and make an appointment to donate blood, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS.
Two upcoming blood donation dates and locations have been announced in Berkeley County.
In Pinopolis on Aug. 10, from 12-5 p.m., a blood drive will be held at Pinopolis United Methodist Churc at 1833 Pinopolis Road.
In Goose Creek, a drive is set for 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Aug. 15 at the citys municipal center (519 N. Goose Creek Boulevard).
All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or drivers license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in.
Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nations blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families.

text: Rescue Beauty Lounge Purple Haze Nail Lacquer ($18.00 for 0.5 fl. oz.) is described as a "vivid violet," which is an accurate depiction of this shade. It has a cream finish, applies opaque in two coats, and has a slightly jelly-like quality to me. In some lighting, it seems like a red-based purple, but then in other lighting, it seems more blue-based. Purple Haze's formula was impeccable–even flow, not too thick or thin, and no bubbling. I typically get a full week of wear with RBL's formula.

ELKIN - In the opening game of the hardwood Battle of the Bridge double-header, Starmount's Heaven Walters put on a clinic.
Walters, who signed her letter of intent last month to play at Guilford College next season, poured in 30 points on the night to power the Lady Rams to the convincing 57-40 victory over rival Elkin.
Playing without Courtney Beals, a Mountain Valley Conference honorable mention a year ago, Elkin head coach Derek Carter used a combination of younger players to fill the void. And for a half, the Lady Elks held their own.
Starmount and Elkin battled in a back-and-forth first half as the Lady Rams took a 22-20 lead in the locker room.
But coming out of the break, Starmount outscored its rival 35-20 in the second half to turn the two-point halftime lead into a runaway triumph.
Walters scored 16 points in the half to power the young Lady Rams to their second conference victory of the sason.
"It was a nice first half, girls felt good. We just cannot put it all together," Carter said. "I'm still waiting on the girls to just play - we always seem like we're a half-step behind, like we're thinking. I'll be glad when we're healthy.
"I tried a different combination tonight and it worked for two quarters or three quarters. We changed a few things to get the offense going. We'll just keep digging," he added.
Darion Dobson finished with nine points for Starmount, while Morgan Randleman added eight. Makayla Dimmette led Elkin with 11 points in the game, while Carrie Brown finished with nine. Kaitlin Faw tacked on seven points with Cassidy Cook adding six.
With the win, Starmount improved to 2-3 overall and 2-1 in the MVAC, while Elkin fell to 0-10 on the season and 0-3 in the conference.
Both squads are taking Tuesday off for final exams and will return to action Friday night. Starmount travels to Moravian Falls to take on Wilkes Central, while Elkin heads to Ronda to battle East Wilkes.
Starmount head coach Doug Chilton missed Friday night's game.

Jill Scott Rocks A Close Cut Natural On The Cover Of Essence
Jilly from Philly is looking mighty radiant on the cover of the October 2012 Issue of Essence Magazine. And it seems as though she's celebrating a fresh start and new beginnings after moving on from her failed engagement and signing a new deal with Warner Brothers which resulted in a #1 album last year.
For her Essence cover shot, she decided to pose in her most 'simplest form', with no weave, wigs or product in her hair while expressing that hair is only an accessory to her:
"This is the simplest form of myself. I look in the mirror and it's like, 'Hey, there you go. What's up, girl?' For me, hair is an accoutrement. Hair is jewelry. It's an accessory. Tomorrow I may want a wig down to my butt and I'm gonna rock it, and the next day I may want a big Afro and I'm gonna rock that too…
Two snaps for Jill as well as actress Viola Davis who made quite a statement when she stepped out on the red carpet of the Oscars earlier this year rocking a short natural style.

Grants provided by the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation will fund archery, shooting and hunting heritage programs for hundreds of youth in Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma. The funding will also improve elk and small game habitat in Kansas and Oklahoma, and go toward elk research and tree replanting efforts in Nebraska.
"It is vital that we invest resources in promoting and sustaining our hunting heritage," said David Allen, RMEF president and CEO. "These grants show our continued commitment to reaching out to the next generation in a part of the country that was home to historical elk range."
RMEF's mission is to ensure the future of elk, other wildlife, their habitat and our hunting heritage. The RMEF grants, totaling $28,050, will affect three counties in Kansas, two counties in Nebraska and 10 counties in Oklahoma. A project in Kansas has statewide interest as does an additional project in Oklahoma. Since 1985, RMEF and its partners completed 185 different conservation and hunting heritage outreach projects in these three states with a combined value of more than $12 million.
Funding for RMEF grants is based on local membership drives and banquet fundraising by RMEF chapters and volunteers in Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma. Allen thanked RMEF supporters for their dedication to conservation in the Midwest and all across elk country.RMEF Grants Help Youth, Elk, Habitat in 3 Midwestern States

East Bend Public Library has acquired many Native American artifacts that were donated to North Carolina Department of Archives and History in 1960 by the late J. Earl Norman. The result is an exhibit spanning 14,000 years of history of Yadkin Valley Native Americans.
According to a history compiled by the East Bend Public Library, Norman searched the river bottoms for Indian relics and began a collection, which he added to over 45 years of collecting.
This collection included several Indian artifacts such as pottery, burial pots, arrowheads and other relics.
In 1960, Norman donated the collection to the state's department of archives and history where it has been safely kept for over 50 years.
"My involvement as state archaeologist has been as the official keeper of the collection since they were donated to the state of North Carolina some decades ago," said Stephen R. Claggett, State Archaeologist. "Over 30 years now the Norman collection has been some of the most part of all of the stuff that we have."
When the library opened its new location in 2011 the staff and volunteers decided that they would like to see at least some of that collection returned to East Bend for students and residents to enjoy and learn from.
"So many people knew that the collection was in Raleigh," Claggett said. "There was a sincere interest in having things brought back here so that people could enjoy them. It's the history of this area; it's not the history of Raleigh so it's very important that at least some of it come back here."
Claggett said that most of the artifacts from Norman's collection were catalogued and extensively safeguarded in their archives in Raleigh. Students and researchers primarily use the archives to study a very specific area in history.
The exhibit features items spanning from 10,000 B.C., what's known as the paleo period, to 1730 A.D., what's known as the contact period.
The exhibit shows items used by Native Americans that resided in the Village of Donnaha. The village was formed around 1,000 A.D.
Jim Daniels assisted the library with selecting the items from the state's collection in order to tell a chronological story to the exhibit's visitors.
"[The library staff] walked into this not completely knowing what they were getting into," Daniels said. "They learned, they adapted and they did a superb job. I can't say enough about how they fell in and supported what the project was and determined to do a first class job out of it."
Daniels said that it was important that the library's exhibit not have too many items for visitors to sort through and read about.
"We drew on Steve's collection to select pieces that told a storyline of basically 14,000 years of habitation here in this part of the Yadkin Valley," Daniels said.
Daniels said that an important part of school tours of the exhibit will be discussing what students should do if they or someone they know finds an area with an abundance of Indian artifacts.
"We encourage people to tell someone about finding sites so that someone can help them protect it and preserve the artifacts," Daniels said. "Since we became civilized farmers have turned over the soil and churned sites up and development has caused houses, parking lots and buildings to be built over sites and we'll never know about them so it's important that when a site is found it is preserved and protected."
Daniels and Claggett both said that it's important to realize that informing the state of an archeological find does not mean that the state will come and take your artifacts.
"It's always good to know where these sites are, not to take stuff away from people but just to know that it's there," Clagget said. "There are hundreds of archaeological sites along the Yadkin River in Yadkin and Forsyth Counties. There are hundreds more that we don't know about and may never know about if people don't come forth.
"We use that information not just for research and to satisfy our curiosity but to protect the sites," Claggett continued. "We use site data maps and GIS and consult with Department of Transportation to help save sites. If we don't know they're there then there's nothing we can do about it."
Claggett and Daniels said that there are currently no plans to cycle items from Norman's 4,000 piece collection. They haven't ruled out the possibility of switching out parts of the exhibit to refresh it once everyone in the county has had a chance to visit it.
"We haven't really talked about cycling items from the collection through the exhibit but it's something to keep in mind," Claggett said. "When everybody in Yadkin County sees there several times they may want to see something different and we can rotate things in and out and refresh it."

Wando used a big fourth quarter to run away with a 65-47 win at Ashley Ridge Tuesday.
With his team holding on to a seven-point lead, Wando forward Jamez Rogers poured in 16 of his game-high 23 points in the final frame to stretch open the lopsided win. Amp Moore added six of his 16 in the fourth for Wando.
Moore paced the Warriors early, trading baskets with Ashley Ridge's Raekwon Jones through the first quarter. Both turned in seven in the first.

Clare McTighe added 12 points and three steals, Kimberly Smalls 10 points and four rebounds, and Dynasty Heyward four points, five assists, and three steals for Wando.
Katie Burnette connected on three threes in the first quarter and led Ashley Ridge with 14 points, but was held without a field goal through the final three quarters. Shelby Daly added 12 points, and Kelly Cousins turned in nine.

I'm totally in love with this shade for spring, it's my perfect coral; not too pastel but not too bright and leans more towards orange than pink. Application and wearability are excellent like most MAC lipsticks, it's moisturising and doesn't bleed. It applies well and is opaque in a coat or two giving even coverage. The finish is similar to other MAC amplified formulas, creamy and opaque with a slight sheen to the finish. The formula feels lightweight and moisturising on the lips, it really is a dream to wear.
It will last a good few hours and has will cope ok with moderate drinking and eating, I've managed a coffee and a snack without loosing all colour or getting the dreaded outer ring of colour but it's not a 'long lasting' lipstick so don't expect miracles.
Another excellent MAC lipstick.

PEMBROKE — The question of whether the chairman of the Lumbee Tribe has the authority to ban council members and others from tribal property may soon come before the Lumbee Supreme Court.
Chief Justice Gary Locklear told The Robesonian on Tuesday that he could not give his immediate opinion on whether Chairman Paul Brooks has the authority to ban Tribal Speaker Pearlean Revels from tribal property after she has been charged with taking financial documents from the Tribal Housing Complex.
"I can't say anything about that," Locklear said. "I expect that question will soon be before the court."
Locklear said that he expects the question of the chairman's authority to ban tribal members from tribal property will be addressed soon in a petition filed by Carvicous Barfield, chairman of the tribe's Board of Elections, who was also banned from tribal property by the chairman. Although she has not yet petitioned the court for a hearing, Barfield has told The Robesonian that she intends to challenge the chairman's action before the tribe's five-member Supreme Court.
Brooks on Friday filed a temporary restraining order against Revels, just one day after she was accused of taking pages from the tribe's general ledger. The restraining order also includes Councilman Terry Campbell, who was with Revels when the financial documents were taken.
Revels has been charged with misdemeanor larceny, according to a spokesperson for the Robeson County District Court. A court hearing has been set for Sept. 16. Campbell is not charged.
Revels has said she took about 2,000 pages of documents from the office of Sharon Bell, the tribe's finance director. Tribal administrators contend that the documents were being processed to be handed over to the Tribal Council under an agreement recently reached between the tribe's administration and council.
Revels said last week that she turned the documents over to Locklear. The judge on Tuesday confirmed he received the documents from Revels and turned them over to the Pembroke Police Department.
Revels says she took the documents after the chairman during a meeting with her to discuss the Supreme Court agreement became agitated and told her that the council was not going to get anything.
Revels, who is up for re-election to her District 3 council seat in November, has been a leader among council members who for months have aggressively pursued the financial records they say are needed for them to perform financial oversight. The recently signed agreement between Brooks and the council requires that the chairman turn over certain financial records, including the general ledger, by this Friday.
Brooks has refused to supply the council with the tribe's financial ledger, contending that giving them checks identifying who the tribe has purchased items and services from would violate privacy laws.
During a Supreme Court hearing on Aug. 12, Revels and Brooks signed a memorandum of understanding agreeing that the executive branch would provide the general ledger and the check registers from all tribal accounts, excluding "transaction descriptions," by 1 p.m. this Friday.
Locklear told The Robesonian on Tuesday that the court order for the chairman to hand over the records to the council by Friday still stands.
"The order is an order," the judge said. "As far as I'm concerned that order stands."

While looking for child care, you may hear that a provider or program is certified, licensed, or accredited. Each of these terms refers to a type of approval that a provider receives for meeting certain standards of quality. The rules behind these standards address a range of concerns from health and safety to a child's development. Understanding the rules that a provider has agreed to follow can help you decide which child care setting is right for your child.
The goal of state child care licensing is to ensure the safety and developmental well-being of children while in out-of-home care. Licensing laws vary from state to state, as does oversight of licensing, but it usually involves periodic inspections of a facilities. Be sure to ask about licensing requirements in your state.
The Department of Defense (DoD) certification of child care programs is comparable to the state licensing process. While licensing standards vary from state to state, DoD standards are the same worldwide. You can expect to see the same level of quality when you move from one installation to another. DoD standards address health, safety, parent involvement, staff training requirements, and developmentally appropriate practices.
Whether you're looking at Child Development Centers (CDC), Family Child Care (FCC) homes (also known as child development homes), or School Age Care (SAC) programs, you'll find that all child care on military installations are required to be DoD-certified.
The requirements for certification are similar in all Services. Military child care programs are all based on the same DoD instructions and certification checklist. Where they differ, the standards must be more stringent than those set by DoD. The rules are specific to the type of care and the age of the children.
All CDCs and SAC programs on military installations are accredited by a national accrediting body. FCC providers are encouraged and supported in their effort to seek accreditation from the National Association for Family Child Care.
While 8 to 10 percent of civilian child care centers are accredited, 97 percent of centers at military installations have earned that status.
Providers first assess their own program in detail and then the accrediting organization observes, reviews documentation, and talks with people in the program. Most programs then spend time making adjustments before accreditation is awarded. Accreditation must be renewed regularly by the accrediting organization. The result is that providers are continually evaluating their program and looking for ways to improve it. Studies have shown that accredited programs have more child-initiated activities, higher staff morale, better-defined goals, and a more culturally diverse curriculum than non-accredited care.
You can learn more about military child care certification standards from your installation CDC. To find your nearest CDC, visit MilitaryINSTALLATIONS. Select Child Development Centers in the "Looking for specific program or service" box.
If you can't use military child care because you live too far away from an installation, or there aren't enough spaces, new programs help military parents find and afford quality child care off of the installation. Child Care Aware of America, formerly NACCRRA, working with the DoD, provides fee-assistance to offset the higher cost of community-based care and offers specialized resource and referral services for eligible military parents.

Mount Aloysius Box La Roche Box
HAMBURG, NY – The Hilbert College men's basketball team took to the road over the weekend and returned with a split-decision in Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference results. The Hawks suffered a tough 85-82 loss at Mount Aloysius January 5 and rebounded with a nail-biting 73-71 victory over La Roche College the next afternoon. Hilbert improved to 10-3 overall and stands at 4-2 in AMCC standings, which places them in an early season three-way tie for second place.
Anthony Hodge earned game high scoring honors (23 points) to lead five Hawks who reached double-figure scoring. Jerame Owens tallied his second double-double of the year, scoring a season high 17 points while pulling 11 rebounds (seven offensive). Scoring 13 points were CJ Hodge and Dan McFarland while Isaac Bushey added 12 for the Hawks. The blue and white continued with their thievery, swiping 12 steals as a team while Owens was credited for all five of Hilbert's block shots on defense.
Hilbert and Mount Aloysius battled all afternoon. Both teams shared or traded the lead on 13 separate occasions during the first half. The Hawks built a ten point lead after Anthony Hodge scored a layup at 11:35. The Mounties chipped away at the lead until they found themselves on top by three at half time.
It appeared that Hilbert was on the verge of pulling away from Mount Aloysius with just under six minutes left after they built an eight point lead (77-69). The Mounties scored a layup, two free throws and hit a 3-point shot the tie the game at 78 (3:35). Then, after each team traded a few baskets, the Mounties closed the game with three made free throws, escaping with the important win.
Less than twenty-four hours later, the Hawks were back at it squaring off against La Roche College in Pittsburgh. Dan McFarland earned his second double-double this season after netting 18 points and grabbing 10 rebounds against the RedHawks. Trevor Stark found his shooters touch again knocking down eight of his twelve attempts to earn game high scoring honors with 19 points. Jerame Owens hit for 14 points and four assists, while Anthony Hodge added 11 points.
La Roche jumped to a 39-28 half time lead after making six three-point shots and shooting 50% from the floor and 100% at the foul line while holding Hilbert to 34% field goal shooting. The RedHawks continued their steady play during the first five minutes into the second half.
Stark and Owens scored six points each in the Hawks' 21-9 run over the next eight minutes which knotted the game at 59-59 (6:25). The offensive push continued with Stark netting twice before McFarland's layup and Owens' traditional three-point play gave the Hawks their largest lead of the game at 3:48 (69-63). La Roche forced the game's fourth tie with 1:16 on the clock before Anthony Hodge sank a layup after Hilbert's timeout which gave the visitors the lead again. The Hawks survived going into an overtime period after La Roche missed all three shots they attempted in the final seconds of the game.
Hilbert hits the road again January 9 to square off against Pitt-Bradford. The Hawks return to campus this weekend when they host Pitt-Greensburg January 12 with a 4pm tip.
