When the console version of Diablo III was announced, it created quite the stir. There was a mixed reaction of fans being upset and others being extremely happy. For some, the change to the console was a surprisingly smooth transition. In some rare cases, the switch from PC to console was actually better.
Now that the game has been out on the console for a while, the time has come for it to join the PC version with its own copy of the latest expansion "Reaper of Souls."
Dubbed the "Ultimate Evil Edition," Boston Games Examiner got together with part of the Diablo III team to talk about (and play) the expansion that was finally hitting the console as well as all of the updates that come along with it. On hand to talk about the game were Julia Humphreys, Senior Producer for Blizzard Entertainment, and Matthew Berger, Senior Level Designer for Blizzard Entertainment.
Those who pick up the game will have all of the content from Diablo III as well as the new content from "Reaper of Souls."
The first thing that was touched upon was how the development team could expand upon how players could share their adventures with each other. According to Humphreys,
We think that playing with your friends is the best way to play Diablo III, whether you're playing together in the same room or playing remotely, but you can't always get your schedules to line up. So we wanted to see what we could do to bring some A-synchronous multiplayer features into Diablo III."
One of the first things they did was add a mail system to the game. Players will now find a mailbox in town. They'll be able to send items and gold. From the mail system, devs built upon it and created "players gifts." So now whenever a legendary items drops, another item may drop along with it that will say it's a gift for a person on your friend list. When your friend goes to open the item, it will roll for whatever character your friend plays as.
Another A-synchronous multiplayer feature that has been added is called "nemesis kills." How it works is if you are killed by a monster in the game, there is a chance that the monster will level up and become a unique monster. It will then jump out of your game and into the game of one of your friends on your friends list who also plays Diablo III. So, the next time a person logs on, they may get a notification that tells them that they are being hunted.
The monster will be tagged saying that this is one of your friends' monsters. This is the monster that killed your friend, and now you have a chance to get revenge on it for defeating your friend. Once you kill the monster, not only will you get considerable loot, but something will be given to the character the monster killed before tell them that you defeated the monster for them. However, if the monster claims another victim, it will gain strength and move onto another friend. Don't worry though, it will not get out of hand as there is a level cap for this kind of event.
When asked where the original idea of "nemesis kills" came from, Berger replied,
It was this notion we wanted players to feel like even though they were playing on their own, maybe at that one moment, they were part of a larger group of heroes adventuring through Sanctuary...It's like footsteps in sand. We want you to feel like someone has been there before you, and you're connected in some way. So, this was one of those ways to connect you in a really cool, meaningful manner."
During the demo we also got look at the new automated loot sorting system which is a build off of the existing targeted loot system. Now when players go to pick up loot from the ground, they will automatically go to the player who the systems thinks it is best suited for. Therefore, Monk items will go to Monks, and Barbarian items will go to the Barbarians. Essentially a person could pick up everything and things could be sorted out later, but this way players can continue to adventuring without the worrying of having to sort out loot.
Another change in the game are built off of the destruction and massacre bonuses. Once players reach the threshold for the bonuses they can continue to add on top of them for as long as they can.
Apprentice mode is a new feature in the game that address the problems players come across when one of them is a higher level than the other . They wanted a way for the players to remain on an even playing field. In this new mode, the player with the lower level will receive a temporary buff for the duration of the play session. They will do more damage and be tougher so that they can contribute. However, the loot will be target according to level so players will not be getting high level loot that they can't use. There will be a slight experience buff to the lower level player to assist them in catching them up with the rest of the group. Don't expect a crazy power leveling sessions repeats Humphreys.
For those of you who are totally unfamiliar with the "Reaper of Souls" expansion on PC will be happy to know that there is a new class available: the Crusader. There are some similarities to the Paladin class from Diablo II, but aside from the sword and shield, that seems to be it. The class can use abilities such as a steed charge where they get on a horse and run their opponents over, and they can even throw their shield similar to Captain America.
"Reaper of Souls" introduces a new game mode known as "Adventure Mode." This is made available once you've played through the story mode and killed Malthael. In Adventure Mode, there will be bounties that players will need to accomplish. These are similar to quests where players will be tasked to kill a specific monster or complete a specific event. Players are then rewarded for those bounties in experience, gold, or items. You may even get rift key stones which will open Nephalim rifts. These are completely randomized dungeons with a new boss at the end.
Fans of the crafting in Diablo III will be happy to know that there is a new person to join the team. This person is the Artisan. They have the ability to enchant your gear and replace one magical property for another in exchange for a small fee. The Artisan also has access to "transmodification" which lets players change the look of an item. This would be great for those who like to brawl. You can go into the brawl with lesser looking gear when in fact its gear that is much higher quality.
The paragon system has even had some tweaks done to it. It is now account wide. You no longer have it on individual characters. You also get to distribute bonuses for each level in paragon.
Players who have saved games on their PS3's can also import their games onto the PS4 without any kind of trouble. Some additional logistics include being able to run on 60fps at 1080p native and a raised level cap of 70.
Finally, as of right now, the "Ultimate Evil Edition" will only be available on PS4. There are no other platform announcements. There is also no set date as to when it will be released but stay tuned for more details.

He's 5/5/2. This is a nuisance because I've sold many a Wolverine cover over the last few weeks and now it looks like when I finally want to finish leveling him to 85 I can't. Oops.

Short rationale (optional): Now in its eighth year, this ambitious Winter collaboration with Scottish Opera continues with a celebration of the 100th anniversary of Benjamin Britten's birth with a revival of Olivia Fuchs' 2005 production for the Royal Opera House of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Adapted from the Shakespeare play, Britten's version is centred on the ethereal world of the fairies rather than the human action at the heart of the original. As such, our challenge was to produce a creative which on one hand reflects the established and expected visual associations with Shakespeare, while on the other, the contemporary and stylistic approach of this particular production. The etched illustration style depicting the dark and mischievous fairies hidden amongst the foliage coupled with a bold colour palette based upon Yves Klein Blue (a major influence on the production), successfully bridges the idea of what is expected and what the production delivers. We applied our creative across all promotional literature, including a 24-page brochure, 60" x 40" posters, A5 fliers and the Royal Conservatoire's Christmas card, promoting the show.

"Years ago, my girlfriend and I combined our favorite brownie recipes. With the addition of miniature marshmallows and chocolate chips, we created a chocoholic's dream recipe—and it's so easy to double for company." —Donna Sawatzky, Piedmont, Oklahoma

- 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup miniature marshmallows
- 1/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup chopped pecans
- In a small heavy saucepan, melt butter and chocolate; stir until smooth. Remove from the heat; stir in sugar. Stir in the egg, vanilla and salt until well blended. Stir in flour just until blended. Fold in the marshmallows, chips and pecans.
- Spread into a greased 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Yield: 6 servings.

The Insidious: Chapter 2 premiere was held at Los Angeles on September 10, 2013. Rose Byrne was a part of the event and she made the crowd turn towards her with her lovely dress and sexy looks. All eyes turned over her when she walked the red carpet. The 34 year old actress has always been a successful fashion icon and this was proved yet again with her attire for the event. Rose Byrne was sporting a sexy look with her pink satin dress that had black embroideries of rose all over. The frock extended only till her things revealing her skinny legs. The skirt was full sleeve and closely covered her neck. The Australian actress also wore black court shoes to complement the dress. She was only wearing minimal accessories with hoop earrings and bands in her hands. Her dark pine lipstick and smoky eye color added to her beauty. She is one of the most intelligent fashion icons in the country who would sport spectacular looks with her dress and make up.

Season 13 for "American Idol" slipped into its final culling phase Thursday night as the Top 13 finalists heard the results of America's votes, the first of roughly a dozen such shows that will ultimately lead to someone becoming the next American Idol. Succinctly: Somebody was going to be sent home, leaving only twelve contestants to carry on the competition. And so host Ryan Seacrest trotted out the last remaining finalists, the Top 13, in two groups of four and one of five and left three people sitting on the silver stools designated for the bottom three contestants with the least number of votes, each one hoping they would have more votes than the other two when all was said and done. And even then, there would be one more chance to remain in the competition, where the finalist would be allowed to "sing for their life" in an attempt to win over the "Idol" judges to get the one-and-only seasonal Save to remain in the contest.
But contestants had to face at least one hard truth: If a finalist found themselves with the least amount of votes on the very first Finals results show, the judges most likely would not waste the Save. And if that finalist was one of the Wild Card picks by the judges, the three finalists that didn't receive the top ten most votes totals to make the Top 13, that Save was not going to be theirs.
As Michael Slezak at TVLine reported (via Yahoo TV) Feb. 27, for one finalist, that is exactly what happened -- and Judge Keith Urban couldn't even act as if it was even being considered (but in his defense, Judge Harry Connick Jr. is the Emmy-winning actor)...
But first up, the Top 13 had to get through the obligatory godawful group number, which was a medley of OneRepublic's "Counting Stars" and Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive." Yeah, it was just about as karaoke-ish-ly painful as one has come to expect.
Then Ryan Seacrest named the initial group of four -- Malaya Watson, Jena Irene, Alex Preston, and Ben Briley. Since both the boys performed with guitars during the Top 13 performance show (don't act as if you don't know about the "American Idol" fan fixation on WGWGs -- White Guys With Guitars), you knew they weren't going to sit on one of the Silver Stools of Uncertainty (trademark -- because if Michael Slezak at TVLine can ™ Silver Stools of Doom, well then…). You also knew it was inevitable, barring a serious television audience disconnect with reality, that Malaya Watson would be the first finalist to be awarded a silver stool for Season 13. Jena Irene's performance the night before was too good; Malaya's was -- in a word -- horrendous.
Malaya, all of 16 years old, was a bit crushed upon hearing the news. And if crying on national television wasn't bad enough, she had to endure quite a few minutes alone, cut off from the rest of the finalists as the show went on around her.
Season 12 winner Candice Glover appeared next, performing a medley from her debut album. With massive images of Candice weeping and a pair of well-placed butterfly wings, last season's winner powered through "Cried," the first single from her debut album, Music Speaks, and "Same Kinda Man," which also appears on the album. The collection dropped last week and officially entered the Billboard 200 albums chart Thursday at No. 14, placing at No. 3 on the R&B/Hip Hop albums chart.
After Candice's performance, it was time for the next four finalists -- Majesty Rose, Dexter Roberts, Sam Woolf, and M. K. Nobilette -- to hear their collective fate. By following the WGWG metric, you already knew the Dexter Roberts and Sam Woolf were safe. And if you watched the show on Wednesday night, you also knew that M. K. Nobilette's performance was stiff foray into the exploration of one note singing while Majesty Rose was the polar opposite. So it was no shocker when M. K. joined Malaya on one of the silver stools.
With two of the bottom three named, it was time for what looks like a new segment on "Idol." Seacrest noted that the "Idol" judges and former judge-turned-mentor Randy Jackson would act as "pacemakers" and the show would highlight new talent this season. So Judge Keith Urban introduced an artist named Jake Bugg, an act he saw in Nashville back when "Idol" was in its auditions phase. And so it was that 17-year-old Jake Bugg graced the "Idol" stage with his Mumford & Sons/Phillip Phillips-esque "Me and You" from his debut album, Shangri-La.
With all distractions out of the way, Seacrest pulled the final five -- Jessica Meuse, C. J. Harris, Kristen O'Connor, Emily Piriz, and Caleb Johnson -- onto the stage. Ignoring the slow process of telling each contestant one-by-one that they were safe from elimination, Seacrest simply told Kristen she was in the bottom three. (Of course she was. Jessica, Caleb, C. J., and Emily had given solid performances on Wednesday, while Kristen seemed to have gotten stuck in low while attempting to approximate a Kelly Clarkson tune.)
So who would be the first named for ousting? Would it be Malaya, whose performance of Bruno Mars' "Runaway Baby" was so poorly rendered it made everyone want to run away? Or would it be M. K. Nobilette, the one note wonder whose presence in the Top 13 is one of Season 13's most enduring mysteries? Or perhaps it might be Kristen, whose talent is obvious, but whose pageanty cover of Kelly Clarkson's "Beautiful Disaster" was not even close being pretty. A disaster it was, however.
And so it was that Kristen O'Connor soon had to sing for her life, but she might as well have saved herself the trouble and talked about her regular job as a nurse. The judges weren't going to save her -- they had done that last week by naming her as one of the Wild Cards. No, it was obvious Kristen had gained no traction with voters, so...
At least we learned this week that Harry Connick Jr. and Ryan Seacrest had never seen Keith Urban naked -- but only Harry admitted he wanted to see the country singer naked. Judge Jennifer Lopez was oddly reticent during those illuminating comments, while the "Stupid Boy" hitmaker looked thoroughly embarrassed that his nakedness was being discussed so cavalierly on live television...
The "American Idol" Top 12 return next week when the theme will be "Home." And speaking of "Home," Season 11 winner Phillip Phillips, whose coronation song, "Home," went on to become and remains the top-selling "Idol" single of all time (to date), will make an appearance and sing his new song, "Raging Fire." "American Idol" airs on Wednesday and Thursday each week at 8 p.m. (EST) on Fox Television.

One thing overlooked in the casual-nature of online dating is, safety. Throughout innocent correspondence, our minds drive us toward potential love over any rational thought of protecting ourselves. Now is the time to paint a picture of what could be lurking in your mailbox.
You receive a message from an attractive, intelligent individual, according to his or her profile photos and message. Months of sharing stories go by and suddenly the two of you are talking on the phone and setting up an in-person meeting. The date goes famously and you're hooked. He or she drops you off and the next morning, you find a note under your door expressing how much the other enjoyed the evening. It's romantic and you are driven toward this person like no other. You chat briefly online before you leave for the day, without signing out. You return to your computer later with emails and an extended message from your date accusing you of avoiding him or her all day to see someone else. You block him or her on AIM, email, Facebook and even the dating site you met on, but you can never take back your address unless you move. Now what?
This issue cannot be stressed enough. Never reveal your address. If you're meeting someone for the first, even third time, drive separately to a destination and make sure you're not being followed. Paranoia is not being lobbied here, but take precautions before revealing anything. Restraining orders will not prevent the obsessed from pursuing you.
Unfortunately, meeting in-person, (in a public place) will be the only means of completely knowing the person you've spent so much time online for. Last names and addresses should never be revealed until you've met in-person several times. You will feel inclined to Facebook friend someone immediately to get to know them better, but keep in mind, this reveals your last name, where you live, where you attended college and in some cases, where you work.
Tell several people where you're going before you leave for a date, meet in a public place and stick to general information on the date. You will learn a lot about the person that night and nights to follow online. If the information continues to match the person on their profile, you may be safe, but always allow time to tell. Stalkers arrive when you least expect them to.

While traveling through Georgia this month I picked up a copy of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and came across editorials by two conservative thinkers that could not get published in Chicago in either the xenophobic Sun-Times or the schizophrenic Tribune. Thomas Friedman, of the New York Times, and George Will of the Washington Post penned separate articles titled, respectively, FIXING SCHOOLS WHEN THERE'S NO SUPERMAN and DISPARITY, POVERTY: 2-PARENT HOME A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE. What follows is an opinionated digest of what these renown writers had to add to the national dialogue on public education.
Friedman: Tom begins his piece by introducing a documentary film, WAITING FOR SUPERMAN (WFS), directed by the same pinhead that gave us Al Gore's scary movie, AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH, David Guggenheim. WFS follows five children and their parents who enter a lottery to get into a charter school because their local schools are miserable failures. Guggenheim, consistent with his mushy liberal core admits that his original egalitarian intention to send his own children to public school never materialized; he said, 'My feelings about public education didn't matter as much as my fear of sending them to a failing school. And so every morning, betraying the ideals I thought I live by, I drive my kids to a private school.' The urban translation of David's courageous confession is: I didn't want my precious brats to get their butts kicked by the children of illegal immigrants or a posse of wannabe Hip-Hop artists. By the way, courage in modern America has been reduced and redefined to include anyone who cites talking points, victims of terminal disease, and community organizing.
I applaud Guggenheim for a rare moment of integrity from a card-carrying leftist who acknowledges that, in practice, liberals often dictate standards and create rules of social justice for people other than themselves. Both the Oval Office Obamas and the White House Clintons chose to eschew public schools and send their progeny to private institutions. Gugenheim later added, 'But I'm lucky. I have a choice. Other families pin their hopes on a bouncing ball, a hand pulling a card from a box or a computer.'
Whereas Friedman, using Guggenheim's lightweight revelation as a guiding light, merely opens the door to a sensitive subject, cantankerous George Will dives deeper into the problem set and provides us with usable data.
Will, like Friedman, uses an intermediary to tote his message: Nathan Glazer, sociology professor emeritus from the mothership of most of America's stupid thinking, Harvard. Glazer believes we are living within a rhetorical paradox where there is almost a total absence of of discussion on the 'black condition' and public policy.
The deafening silence from poverty pimps and Negro apologists are eerily timed to coincide with the disintegrating presidency of the novice Commander-in-Chief, Barack Obama. Nevertheless, there are some inconvenient truths that have enveloped the nation's black population and doomed them (us) to a shrouded future that African-Americans can no longer blame on a racist nation. The dark quiet does not conceal them.
Sadly, only thirty-five percent of black children live with both parents, a damning statement all on its own. Additionally, whereas 24% of white youngsters watch 4 or more hours of television a day, 59% of black kids sit idly in front of the boob tube. I do not think these kids are watching the Discovery and History channels. By age four, the average child in a professional family hears thirty-five million more words than a welfare child with a single mother. This likely accounts for the mindlessly repetitive lyrics in Hip Hop music.
Will reports that educational researcher, Paul Barton, estimates that 90 percent of the differences in students' academic performance are based on five factors: (1) days absent from school (2) hours students watch television (3) pages read as homework (4) the quantity and quality of reading material in the home and (5) the presence of two parents in the home.
The digestible but unpalatable conclusion: Professional class parents go out of their way to provide an amenable learning environment for their children while the seventy percent black illegitimate birth rate sabotages any chance a regular Negro kid has of competing with his white peers for a niche in our highly competitive economy. For every 100 college degrees conferred on black men, twice that many are earned by black women, which consequently, is another indicator that portends the extended prevalence of the dreaded single mom phenomenon. Furthermore, those factors that determine academic success cannot be ameliorated by public policy like charter schools, voucher programs, or midnight basketball.
The family is both the primary source and root cause of a child's shot at prosperity in America. Most Negro youth are struggling to compete in a technology heavy culture while they have one parent tied behind their back. Madness.

A CLOSURE plan has been announced for Monk Bretton Library after it emerged it is in need of repairs costing over £130,000.
The crumbling building needs repair, it does not have proper wheelchair access and has seen the number of visitors in the past 12 months plummet.
Starting on Monday a four weeks consultation process will be held asking library users how they would be affected if the library closed and was replaced with either a small book collection based at Silverdale community centre or by the mobile library.
Coun Jenny Platts, cabinet spokeswoman, said: "We want to continue to provide a library service for the people who live in Monk Bretton.
"Unfortunately, the current library building is no longer fit for purpose. At this time when the council is facing significant cuts, we simply do not have the funds available."
She said there has also been a decrease of more than 50 per cent in the number of people using the library over the past year.
People can take part in the consultation, which ends of August 9, by picking up a copy from Monk Bretton Library.

A few months after joining Infinity Records, rapper Aisha Uwimana, aka Ciney, canceled the contract with the company on grounds that the company failed to deliver on its promises.
Sources say Ciney decided to quit Infinity records over inability to improve her music career as well as promoting new projects.
She claims that she was supposed to release new videos and promote them in the last four months but nothing was done. Ciney is also one of the four people waiting for Big Brother Africa season nine producers to be chosen to represent Rwanda this year.
Ciney has collaborated with various local musicians including Jay Polly, D-Pinc, Knowless, Paccy and Lil-P among. The singer is known for songs like Game of Love, Tuma Bavuga, Nkunda and Dogoni.

There has been always a strong correlation between the structure of power in Iran and oil. Not only industry and services are heavily dependent on oil revenue, but also in a larger scale all repressive forces and institutions of dictatorial regimes rely on it. Oil production in Iran is not only at the service of development of country, but mainly at the interests of the corrupt ruling elite and especially survival of their oppressive regime.
In the case of the IRI, oil is the greatest income of state mafia which makes the regime possible to set up their repressive institutions, propaganda machine, thousands of plain clothes thugs to beat up angry people, apologist groups in the West, sold intellectuals from various factions of the regime who propagate that any the regime is both legitimate and can be reformed within its constitution, and terrorist groups to advance the IRI agenda in and out of the country. The regime also spends a part of this Iranian national resource to help the two Islamist terrorist groups, Hamas, Hezbollah to prevent peaceful solutions in the region.
The U.N. Security Council resolutions and EU have already mentioned the possibility of oil sanctions on the IRI due to its nuclear ambitions and its strategy to export violence in the region. In the light of such resolutions and added to them the ongoing brutalities after the coup, the world must timely step up: sanction on fuel supplies to Iran is the first step to shake off the regime and is now widely expected by both Iranians and the international community.
The domestic consume of gasoline is estimated 75 million litres a day, of which 36 million is imported from India. If the gasoline delivery is stopped, Iran's domestic consummation, including that of the repressive machine, of the regime, can be paralysed within a week. In such a case the heroic people of Iran can better do the rest to send the whole regime in the dustbin of history.
India supplies a great part of the needed gasoline which helps the Mullahs' regime to survive– it imports Iranian crude oil and exports to Iran gasoline after refining. In a perspective of an international solidarity with the oppressed people of Iran in struggle against the illegitimate regime of coup d'état, India as the biggest democracy of the world can play an important factor to side with the freedom-loving people of Iran in their struggle against the totalitarian IRI in Iran.

Unfortunately the track record of any sanctions having to do with oil are dismal. To think sovereign nations who are energy hungry would forgo a lucrative trade to feed the energy needs of their populace is wishful thinking. To assume big oil will forgo profits because young people died in a repressive regime is lunacy. Throughout history the big oil has probably made many deals that have led to blood shed in the name of profits.ReplyDelete

Probably enough to float million dollar checks drawn on banks outside of Iran for a few decades! Yet that is not even the point, of course these guys will get kick backs no one expected otherwise. The point is no external power will stop doing lucrative business with anyone just to support a just cause. The only cause to support is national interests . It helps if that goal just happens to line up well with personal interests of the negotiating parties.ReplyDelete

LAREDO, TEXAS (KGNS) -- The new school year is just around the corner and one school district is prepping their new teachers to the district on what to expect.
Over 150 teachers attended the United ISD new teacher orientation program.
The sessions support teachers that are new, both to the profession and to UISD, in starting their year off successfully.
Over the next four days, they will learn about the district policy, technology, content presentation and classroom management.
"Being a teacher has many benefits," new teachers Armando Molina said. "Being able to impact students, not just one or two, but I mean you see 30 kids per block so I'm really excited to be able to do that. I would hope there's other people who always want to impact our youth because you're seeing them from 8 to 4 you have a huge part in their lives."
Over half of the new teachers will teach in elementary schools.
The first day of school will be August 25th.

A Kind Of Eulogy
A Kind Of Eulogy
I was a greenhorn back in 1987, when I marched into my first NAMM Show as the editor of Drums & Drumming (our former magazine, published by GPI Publications). I wasn't aware at that moment I'd entered a microcosmic universe with its own culture, etiquette, and hierarchy.
Groveling at the very bottom of the pecking order, I gazed up at the patriarchs of the modern drum industry with awe. Wise old greybeards like Vic Firth, Armand Zildjian, Fred Gretsch, Lennie Demuzio, Robert Zildjian, Jim Cof n, William Ludwig III, and Remo Belli seemed to float above the NAMM rabble, carried along by enormous reputations and often equally enormous personalities. You were either in their league or out. I was clearly out.
It didn't matter, though. I was too busy hustling my new magazine to worry about my place in the grand scheme. As I trolled the NAMM floor, I met dozens of newcomers like me, who were also finding their footing in the drum industry. Some fell out of the rotation after a few years, but many stuck around for decades, often hopping from one company to another.
As years passed, and some of the old guard began to slow down, many members of my freshman class began to assume leadership roles in the industry. Our friendships were renewed semiannually at trade shows and sustained through emails and phone calls, but otherwise, I have to admit, I didn't know much else about their personal lives.
Joe Hibbs was one of those guys. He was the artist rep at Tama when we first met, then disappeared for a couple years before cropping up again at Premier. He seemed to finally find a home when he went to work for Mapex, where his reputation as a world-class artist rep and drum expert took root and bloomed.
Then the unthinkable happened. Joe died at LAX last February at the age of 63, desperately trying to fly home to Nashville after being diagnosed with pneumonia in a Los Angeles emergency room. Of course, social media immediately lit up at the news. My mood took the opposite turn. Among my first thoughts was regret that I hadn't known Joe better, though, from what I hear, he kept his private and business lives at arm's length.
Yet everybody knew him. More importantly, everybody respected him. He knew drums and the drum industry like no one else. He helped a lot of people. Look, he was also no angel, and could be sardonic and irascible when he felt wronged. In other words, he was just like the rest of us: Another human being trying his best, sometimes succeeding, other times stumbling, always pushing forward.
You might not have felt it, but a tear split apart the fabric of our tiny, fragile universe when Joe died, reminding us of the inevitability of mortality and importance of the moment. I have no profound words to share. Just never take anything for granted. We're here for only a short time.
You are missed, Joe.
Don't Take The Bait
Don't Take The Bait
Mitch Mitchell immediately became my favorite drummer when I first heard Are You Experienced, the debut album by Jimi Hendrix Experience. In my opinion, his drumming on that album, as well as the next two releases — Axis: Bold As Love and Electric Ladyland — elevated rock drumming to an unexpected level of legitimacy on par with many of the jazz players of the day. On Experienced and Axis, in particular, Mitchell's chops were phenomenally advanced, keeping pace with Hendrix's revolutionary guitar style with roundhouse fills, unorthodox grooves, and blistering speed. But, to my ears, his drumming changed on Electric Ladyland. I wouldn't say it became worse, but it felt different, more sluggish, less choppy. I'm sure at the time my 13-year-old brain reasoned that he was exploring other avenues.
I found Hendrix's subsequent albums to be less compelling than the first three, and my attention turned to other artists. Yet, whenever somebody asked me to name my favorite drummer, to this very day I always cite Mitch Mitchell, whose playing had such a profound effect on my own at a pivotal time in my development.
Just recently, while flipping through the television channels, I spotted a movie called Electric Church. It's a documentary of Hendrix's appearance at the Atlanta Pop Festival in 1970. Intrigued, I recorded it, and watched it later when I had a couple spare hours.
As much as it pains me to say, Mitch just didn't sound very good. Sure, he was executing many of his signature licks, but too often didn't come in on the 1 with the sort of crisp articulation that captured my ear those many decades before. His drumming was more ham-fisted than sharp. He even seemed to lose the beat in a couple places.
Okay. This was 1970, back when PA systems were much less reliable. Maybe Mitch couldn't hear the band well. Or he didn't get enough sleep on the plane. Or his slack performance was the result of any number of reasons why drummers simply have a bad night now and then.
Or, it also occurred to me, maybe the rumors I'd heard of his substance abuse problems were true. If so, he wasn't alone. Back in the psychedelic haze of the late '60s, one simply assumed rock musicians experimented with mind-altering substances. At the time it seemed daring and adventurous, and was often justified as a source of inspiration.
My generation contributed quite a few positive things to worldwide culture, the ecology and women's movements among them. But I think we totally screwed up by glamorizing drug use — especially in regard to the harder stuff. I've seen too many great musicians burn out physically and creatively due to substance abuse.
To this day, I just shake my head whenever another young rock star dies of an overdose. Hendrix. Bonham. Weinhouse. Weiland. The full list is far too long to include here, but all are victims of a disease they couldn't control. None of their deaths was heroic. I wrote in an earlier column about my own nicotine addiction, and how tough it was to kick the habit. Throughout the five years when I struggled to quit, only to fall back again, it occurred to me countless times that it all could have been avoided if I simply had never smoked my first cigarette. The same is true of all addictive drugs.
Consider this: Some people become full-blown junkies after taking only a single dose of heroin. Just one. Perhaps you don't know yet if you're one of those people. So keep it that way and live a long, happy life.
To Tell The Truth
To Tell The Truth
Truth be told, I rarely spend time in online drumming message boards and chat rooms. Having edited this mag for the past 25 years, I've usually had my fill of drum gab by the end of a ten-plus-hour day. But that doesn't mean I never check out message boards. Every once in a while I take a few minutes to dig deep and catch up on all the gossip. And when I do, predictably, I often perform a vanity search to see what folks had to say about DRUM!, and drumming magazines in general.
Of course, since these comments are on the web, I come across plenty of complaints. To be fair, some are fully warranted and provide great insight I can use to sharpen our editorial standards. Others are clearly people just blowing off steam, enjoying their 15 minutes.
That's fine, although, admittedly, they do occasionally get under my skin, particularly when I read complaints about product tests. The most common grievance is that, in order to protect cash flow, drumming magazines wouldn't dare criticize instruments made by the same companies that buy ads.
You might be surprised to learn that I think they're right, but only to a degree. See, from the beginning, we've instructed our instrument reviewers to tell it like it is — for better or worse. So, for example, in this very issue you'll read that our reviewer Brad Schlueter couldn't get Yamaha's DT70 acoustic drum trigger to stop misfiring on his snare, and how another reviewer, AJ Donahue, didn't particularly care for Meinl's Symmetry and Nuance ride cymbals, and why.
I never read such blunt critiques in other drumming magazines. Instead, I see either overwhelmingly favorable assessments, or utterly noncommittal reviews that simply run down a list of specs: the shells are made of this, the lugs are made of that, and the hoops are made of the other thing. I always interpret the latter approach to mean the reviewer wasn't crazy about the gear. But drummers shouldn't have to read between the lines like that.
It's even worse online, as far as I'm concerned. Websites that claim to offer serious reviews often post gushingly glowing videos or rewrites of company press releases, with little to no effort to actually test the product. Neither qualifies as a review in my book. Before a gear test goes to press, we always ask the manufacturer to fact check it, which means they get the first chance to see criticism before you do. Every once in a while we get some pushback about negative statements, and admittedly that can be sticky. Indeed, we've had some companies pull advertising out of the magazine (most come back after a while). We've also had other companies continue to advertise, but never ask us to test their products again.
But they all know this: Our first and most important commitment is to our readers. If you don't feel you can trust what you read in our magazine, you'll be less likely to trust what you see in their ads.
You really are that important to us. Thanks for reading DRUM! Magazine.
Most of the time this column writes itself. I typically stew on a topic for a couple days and, once it reaches gestation, sit down and spill words onto the keyboard. Then there are other times, like yesterday, when it feels like I'm trying to arm-wrestle a grizzly bear just to plunk a period at the end of a sentence. See, this issue marks the official start of our 25th anniversary year, an achievement that makes the entire DRUM! team proud. Of course, it's our right and obligation to trumpet such a milestone from the rooftops, but everything I tried to write on the subject yesterday just seemed so sanctimonious and self-serving I wound up playing "Wipe Out" on the delete button over and over. So I put it aside. Now I'm back. Allow me to say we're honored to have served the drumming community for a quarter century, and amazed that we were 25 years younger when we dreamed up the crazy idea of publishing a drumming magazine. It's been a great ride, punctuated by all sorts of accomplishments (and almost as many snafus). And while I'm glad to take some credit for helping usher this publication over the decades, at this very moment I only feel grateful for all the talented people — freelancers and staffers alike — who contributed to our longevity. Most of all, I need to give a shout out to my business partners, Phil and Connie Hood, who made sure the company was secure throughout the years. And while our early ad sales team of Leigh Taylor Hartley and Darryl Ecke helped lift DRUM! off the launching pad, the ad sales director who succeeded them, Eric Frank, has become the face of DRUM! Magazine among drum and percussion companies, and truly kept the boat afloat. I feel fortunate to have worked with such immensely talented graphic designers, who each left a mark on these pages, including our current art director Rich Leeds, who I've known for almost 30 years, starting when we were both mere tykes working at GPI Publications. We were equally lucky to enlist the artists who preceded him, including Cristina Strombotne, Mauricio Rams, Lalaine Gagni, Leslie Hampton, Rick Eberly, Clarence Yung, and our founding art director Kristine Ekstrand. I'm no less humbled to have the opportunity to work alongside some of the best staff writers and editors in the business, including Andrew Lentz, Dave Constantin, Sabrina Crawford, Scott Locklear, Don Zulaica, Elisa Welch, Andy Ziker, Billy Ramirez, and Jared Cobb. They all made sure DRUM! was a superior literary experience for our readers, and for me. Toss a long line of past and current freelance writers, photographers, illustrators, office staff, and interns into the mix and you're looking at a veritable football field full of loyal and dedicated individuals who contributed greatly to our legacy. Of course, despite the best efforts of all these creative types, we never would have been able to continue publishing for the past 25 years without the support of our readers. Keep in mind that DRUM! never was subsidized by a larger publishing company, nor underwritten by a family inheritance. We've paid salaries and benefits, print bills and rent with the money we earned, one issue at a time. I'm proud of that. We couldn't have done it without you. It's just that simple. Thanks for your continued support.
Revolutions Aren't Born In Boardrooms
Revolutions Aren't Born In Boardrooms
Nobody saw it coming, not even the legions of baby boomer kids positioned squarely in the path of the oncoming cultural tsunami, watching as the very fabric of society began to tear asunder on Sunday, February 9, 1964, when The Beatles first appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show.
Elvis and Sinatra were a prelude to the grandiose influence that historic broadcast would have on American life. I remember, for example, my entire third grade class discussing the performance the next morning, led by our 20-something teacher, no less, who seemed as awestruck as we were. She asked if any of us wanted to play an instrument like The Beatles. Nearly all hands shot up.
Now multiply that by all other classrooms in the country on that same morning, and you get a hint of how quickly things would change. Garage bands sprouted in every neighborhood of every town, as likeminded teenyboppers tried to emulate the surge of pop bands from England and the US that jumped on the bandwagon.
Bands weren't the only ones cashing in, either. Once sleepy music stores were soon swamped with new customers demanding the latest gear. We've heard tales of the golden years on Music Row in New York City, when Manny's and Sam Ash sold Stratocasters and Ludwig kits nearly as fast as delivery trucks could unload them.
The mid-'60s music explosion was so pervasive that it bolstered music commerce for decades. However, if you charted the progress of the musical instrument market from 1964 to today, you'd see a gradually descending line, punctuated by occasional peaks spurred by popular musical trends.
Whenever the line tracked upward — as a U2 or Red Hot Chili Peppers spawned wannabes — drum set sales would peak for a number of years, and settle back down. Then video games and other options started grabbing a big share of adolescent time. Later, file sharing and streaming content drove a nail into the heart of the recording industry. Young consumers saw fewer reasons to spend decades learning an instrument to get a $100 gig, when they could invent Instagram, then jump out of an airplane, or something like that. So here we are. Even though the economy has sputtered to life in recent years following the Great Recession, the music products industry still faces challenges. Unlike those heady days on Music Row, percussion industry leaders are now worried about supply outstripping demand, and some have joined forces to develop ways to stimulate interest in drumming.
They send teachers to elementary schools to give workshops, hand out goodie bags at Warped Tour stops, and sponsor similarly well-intentioned promotions. I'm sure such efforts help create new drummers. But it's pocket change compared to seeing Ringo for the first time in 1964, when the entire world suddenly wanted to be in a band.
We need a cultural revolution all right, but it's going to happen on its own timetable. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe 20 years from now. One thing is sure — it will be born on the streets and not around a conference table.

This reflection is taken from my book, Pro-Life Reflections for Every Day, which is available for purchase at: ProLifeReflectionsForEveryDay.org
"Everyone who does evil hates the light and avoids coming near the light so that his misdeeds may not be exposed" – John 3:20.
Reflection: A key priority of our pro-life movement must be to expose the corruption of the abortion industry. Making abortion legal never made it safe, and keeping it legal can never keep it safe. You can't practice vice virtuously. If you are willing to kill a baby, you will be willing to do many other kinds of evil as well.
Prayer: Lord, bring into the light the evils being done behind closed doors in abortion centers, that our nation may repent and be healed, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

CONTEXT: Recent data regarding the consequences of untreated human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and the expansion of treatment choices for antiretroviral-naive and antiretroviral-experienced patients warrant an update of the International AIDS Society-USA guidelines for the use of antiretroviral therapy in adults with HIV infection.
OBJECTIVES: To provide updated recommendations for management of HIV-infected adults, using antiretroviral drugs and laboratory monitoring tools available in the international, developed-world setting. This report provides guidelines for when to initiate antiretroviral therapy, selection of appropriate initial regimens, patient monitoring, when to change therapy, and what regimens to use when changing.
DATA SOURCES AND STUDY SELECTION: A panel with expertise in HIV research and clinical care reviewed relevant data published or presented at selected scientific conferences since the last panel report through April 2010. Data were identified through a PubMed search, review of scientific conference abstracts, and requests to antiretroviral drug manufacturers for updated clinical trials and adverse event data.
DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS: New evidence was reviewed by the panel. Recommendations were drafted by section writing committees and reviewed and edited by the entire panel. The quality and strength of the evidence were rated and recommendations were made by full panel consensus.
CONCLUSIONS: Patient readiness for treatment should be confirmed before initiation of antiretroviral treatment. Therapy is recommended for asymptomatic patients with a CD4 cell count < or = 500/microL, for all symptomatic patients, and those with specific conditions and comorbidities. Therapy should be considered for asymptomatic patients with CD4 cell count > 500/microL. Components of the initial and subsequent regimens must be individualized, particularly in the context of concurrent conditions. Patients receiving antiretroviral treatment should be monitored regularly; treatment failure should be detected and managed early, with the goal of therapy, even in heavily pretreated patients, being HIV-1 RNA suppression below commercially available assay quantification limits.

Sam's Club, Not Yale ClubLast December, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin traveled to Georgia, in her capacity as the most popular Republican in the nation, to help Saxby Chambliss win a runoff for a Senate seat. At one rally, voter Tammy Hawkins waited four hours with her daughter and niece to hear Palin speak. She told a news reporter, "We wanted the girls to see a fine, upstanding Christian woman with five kids and a good career. We just wanted them to see you can succeed."If you are a pro-woman woman — even one who is secular, urban, and liberal — those words should make you rejoice. Knowing that conservative, evangelical Christian women want their daughters to see such a role model tells us that feminism, in its best sense, has won its central battle. And it tells us something about the future: Starting now, women have been liberated from having just one model for success.We all know that model: She's the credentialed careerist who rises to leadership in government, business, or academia. In politics, the most visible example is surely Hillary Clinton, a woman who assiduously prepared and planned, beginning with her choice as a teen to attend an elite women's college, then an Ivy League law school. Along the way she cultivated relationships with people who might prove useful, snagged important positions, and married a promising classmate. She set out to remake the world, according to her liberal lights, and maintained a laser-like focus. (She had just one child and stayed in an unenviable marriage, some Clinton watchers believe, for the sake of her grand plan.)Clinton took the meritocratic route, moving up by virtue of her brains, not her bloodline, in the onetime old-boy establishment. She and women like her have battered the doors of this bastion for the past quarter century — and by doing so they have created the real possibility of a woman seizing the ultimate power job. But that path is not available to most ordinary women. And to many, it isn't even attractive. For them, there's Sarah Palin.Unlike Hillary, Palin is more Sam's Club than Yale Club. She had a haphazard college career and married her high school sweetheart. She showed promise as a TV sports reporter, but as her family grew, she left broadcasting to help with her husband's fishing business. After working with the PTA and on the Wasilla town council, she won the mayor's office — a job that, in a small town, combines well with child-rearing. If Clinton is the career politician who trained all her life for power, Palin is the scrappy citizen-politician, the kind the country's founders hoped would keep politics focused on people's real needs. This model happens to mesh nicely with the realities of most women's lives. Palin has surely drawn on confidence and competitive instincts developed in girlhood. But her example is liberating precisely because it allows a woman who began with one set of interests to develop different ones, to make use of talents that had gone untapped and to bring her personal experience to bear on the issues she sees around her — in Palin's case, education and small business survival, among others. Just as a careerist woman may later step off the ladder to spend time with family, a Palin-style woman, who in her younger years did more improvising than planning, can jump on. In a profession that's all about mentors, connections, and networks, Palin was elected governor without benefit of an influential father, wealthy husband, or powerful political machine. She couldn't even call on classmates from a top law school.If the erstwhile VP candidate's rise to national prominence is extraordinary, her effect on other women's lives will prove equally so: Her example opens the competition to millions of women who take on larger, more responsible roles as their children grow up and their judgment ripens. Palin's supporters don't care that she doesn't meet media standards for being articulate or analyzing policy details. In her they see their own best selves: strong, capable, smart, religious.
