Behind the Scenes
Just Spare Change
- My Ludwig Vistalite set has a 24" bass drum so if I were ever wanting to play a double bass drum set, this would be a great addition.
- The snare drum is a see-through shell.
- I like that there are two mounted toms. My existing set has a single 13" mounted tom. Because I watched the Mike Mangini (Dream Theater) video below. In the video, he talks about the different reasons he uses so many drums. Based upon the theories he talks about, it would be interesting to do a tom run going from 13", to 14", to 13" and then down to my existing 2 16" floor toms, plus adding the 16" floor tom that would come with this set.
13" 14" 16" 24" kick and 14x6.5 snare
Here's the Mike Mangini video. It's a long one - 24 minutes - but I found it very interesting.
The only reason I thought about Mike Mangini is because I had come across this video of Dream Theater playing a cover of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" that was recorded with the band members sitting in front of Mangini's drum set. That reminded me of seeing his drum clinic in Davenport, which reminded me of how awesome of a drummer he is.

Making Me Happy
When Using 8 Inches is Not Enough
The takeaway? Government is inefficient. Also, HRC didn't follow the rules.
Editor's Note: After the original posting of this post, I came across an article that lays out which specific rules HRC violated: You can read it here.
Using Labels to Document My Passions
What do I write about the most? I was curious so I used a widget to list all of the labels I've applied to my posts. When I saw which labels were in the top 10 list, I can't say I was surprised. It's interesting to me that I used the "Republican Tendencies" tag 65 more times than I used the tag "Work." I don't know if those posts with the label "Technical Writing" should have also had the label "Work" or if there are actually 92 posts about technical writing that are non-work related. I also think that if I audited the posts that do actually have videos embedded, there would be more than 177. I've never done an audit of labels. There may even be some posts that have zero labels!
All that said, this top 10 list does correlate to the passions in my life.
- Busy Life (460)
- Republican Tendencies (358)
- Work (293)
- Conversion Projects (230)
- Metallica (230)
- Technical Writing (201)
- drums (183)
- Videos (177)
- Iowa Hawkeyes (108)
In case I am curious in the future, I created a page to store the entire list.
Conspire to Do What
At this point, pretty much everyone, including Hillary Clinton's political allies, knows that her use of a private server was a major problem and that everything she has said about it to this point is a lie. Welcome to the Vast right wing conspiracy, everyone.
Also, there's Elizabeth Warren doing HRC's dirty work, but there's a problem.
The real problem is that Warren's general critique applies just as much to Hillary Clinton as it does to Donald Trump.
This argument is described here.
On a related tangent, the rack in Megan's closet had come out of the wall a couple of weeks ago and, with all we had going on, it took until May 21st for it to be addressed. Alex and I worked on repairing it for over 3 hours. I am not a handyman. There was a discussion about whether we should drill new holes or not. I voted for no new holes. I chose that route not because I wanted to finish sooner, but because the way I thought the hanging thingies (that's a techie term) work, I didn't think we would need a new hole. I thought using the existing hole would work fine. After all, this rack was on the wall for over a decade without an issue.
Sure enough, last night, as Megan was putting clothes back on the rack, it came out of the wall again. I went up to fix it, alone, as Alex was entertaining Melanie, Austin, and Megan (Austin's girlfriend). I started to drill new holes when I realized I was in over my head. Citing the TV game show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" where contestants can "phone a friend" if they don't know the answer to a question, I phoned my friend Dave Downes. After assuring me that he wasn't busy, he came over around 7:15 and we worked together to repair the shelf. came over last night to help me out of a jam. It was 9:00 when we finished. We retired to the kitchen table and the 3 (Karen, Dave, and I) of us sat there and tried to solve the problems of the world.
Of course, politics came up and Donald Trump was discussed. Karen likes his point-blank attitude about things, especially when it comes to his opinion about illegal immigrants. Generically, she revealed that an illegal immigrant in the United States is eligible for Medicare after being in the country for 5 years. What amount of money was contributed by them? ZERO! American taxpayers pay for that.
I mentioned how I had read an article about how the Electoral College is likely to shake down - this is the article from March 2016 - and it's predicted to be a landslide victory for HRC if history is accepted as a predicting agent of the future (I know it doesn't have to be). If that prediction is true, and HRC becomes our next president, it simply means another 8 years (really, you don't think she'd run for re-election?) of President Obama's policies.
I'm not saying Donald Trump would be a great president or even a better president than HRC. I still say that a Marco Rubio / Carly F. ticket would have been a ticket I could have TOTALLY supported. Unfortunately, they are not running for the Republican nomination. I just saw on my email that Donald Trump now has 1237, which is the magic number of delegates he needed for the Republican nomination. It's all over but the wailing and gnashing of teeth. The #NeverTrump movement will continue to press Republicans to not vote for Trump. I'll be curious to see how this American political story is written between now and Election Day 2016. There's a new development - Donald Trump challenged Bernie Sanders to a debate - and now, Bernie Sanders has agreed to debate Donald Trump, per this article. It's getting cra-cra around here....

If this article is true, I agree.

How Did I Miss This
What's been kind of interesting, as I await the results of whether or not files can be recovered from my 4 TB EHD, is I've been listening to "full albums" on youtube.com as I work (through my cell phone). The band below, Brand New, came up as a suggested video and, after a couple of listens, I realize they are a jewel I never knew was present in the world of music. I am disappointed that the closest tour date they have is Saturday, July 2... in Chicago. That's the same day as Alex's "farewell" concert in Grinnell. Additionally, like Bayside's tour dates, I'm hoping that additional dates will be announced.

This is Really a Movie
Not every week.
Those are the times that can't be recreated except in my mind. I don't think that I have talked to either of those guys in over 20 years.
Two sides of the acquittal in Maryland:
Love It
I love Metallica.
Editor's Note: This post is the 230th I have on this blog with the label "Metallica"
Someone is Paying You to
Wrong Reason
People want old shit from old bands nowadays.
Alice Cooper, Kiss, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Judas Priest, AC/DC., Twisted Twister's setlists etc. have the majority of old songs.
That is so true. Because I have zero desire to see Alice Cooper, I'll withhold my commentary about his setlist - he can play whatever the hell he wants to play - I couldn't care less.
Moving on, there are songs that bands must play.
- KISS can't replace "Detroit Rock City" with a tune from "Monster"
- Metallica can't replace "Master of Puppets" with "St. Anger"
- Megadeth can't replace any tune from "Rust in Peace" with a tune from "Risk"
- Slayer can't replace "War Ensemble" with a tune from "Diabolas in Musica"
- Judas Priest can't replace "Living After Midnight" with a tune from "Turbo"
- AC/DC can't replace "Back in Black" with a tune from "Fly on the Wall"
- Twisted Sister can't replace any tune from "Stay Hungry" with a tune from "Love is for Suckers"
Satisfied with a Glass Ceiling
- a Motorhead tune and yet, I heard "Ace of Spades" the other day
- a Metallica tune from their first 3 releases and yet, I hear "Seek & Destroy," "Creeping Death," and "(Welcome Home) Sanitarium" on a fairly regular basis

It's Alive
Every Single Woman
Yes, I know she means "if you are a woman in America" but in light of the Venn diagram mishap - details here - I thought I'd poke fun at her writing skills.
On another note, at George Nowlan's wake on Monday, I saw a married couple that I've known all my life. They now live in Arizona. Somehow, as we were sitting there, the husband brought up politics.
He is a fan of Donald Trump and thinks Trump will clean up Washington.
I came across sounding like anti-Republican voter because I pointed out that Trump isn't pro-life and I would have expected the Republican candidate to be pro-life. The husband stated, "He's pro-life." "No," I said, "he was, but now is pro-choice." "So he changed. Don't you change who you are over time?"
Ah yes, of course I change. Every one changes. I wouldn't be human if I didn't expect others to not change as I am changing, I suppose.

The End of the Start
Please review the attached statement of work and associated firm price quote as it pertains to your open recovery order. We kindly request your acceptance of the quote at your earliest convenience by calling our customer service department with a credit card number confirming your approval.
As you review the statement of work, you will notice that our engineering team as indicated that there is a 0% chance of recovering a vast majority of your data contained on your drive. This fact is because several surfaces of the internal platters are heavily damaged and therefore cannot have any binary data recovered from them. Early estimations are that we will be able to recover about 30% of the data still remaining and we could consider this percentage a successful recovery.
Attached to the email was a PDF with these details:
III. Duration of Work
Data recovery work is anticipated to take 8-12 days after your approval to move forward with the attempt. After the preliminary evaluation of your drive, we have an estimated 0% chance of a successful recovery. A successful recovery implies that at least 90% of the customer's files are recovered.
IV. Assumptions
- All provided information regarding the drive that has an impact on recoverability is accurate.
- There are no significant barriers to recovery discovered during the recovery attempt.
V. Compensation
The final cost of this recovery service will be $2500.00, if and only if we successfully recover the critical data in the requested format. This amount does not include the cost of the return media or return shipping. Return media can be provided by the customer or purchased from Gillware at the time of checkout. Keep in mind that if approval is given for this attempt and we are unable to recover your critical files, you are still under no financial obligation for any of the work rendered during the recovery attempt.
Really? $2500 when "we have an estimated 0% chance of a successful recovery."

Not DV
When I read "Hillary Clinton is evil like Darth Vader" I thought I was going to come unglued. I subscribe to the theory that Anakin Skywalker is a tragic hero. His major flaw? He never EVER wanted to see a loved one die. Not his mother, not his wife.
When loved ones arrive at George Nowlan's funeral today, who among them would not give anything to not have to be saying farewell today?
How is that evil?

- Die, Die My Darling (Mistifis cover) should've been replaced with All Nightmare Long
- To Live Is to Die should've been replaced with Harvester of Sorrow
- Of Wolf And Man should've been replaced with The Struggle Within
- Trapped Under Ice should've been replaced with All Within My Hands (though any St. Anger tune on this list is asking for debate
- The Unforgiven II should've been replaced with King Nothing (only because I heard it on the radio and thought it was a great tune
- The Unforgiven should be replaced with The Judas Kiss - very controversial to exclude "The Unforgiven"

Another Half Apology
When "Fear the Walking Dead" finishes its second season on Sunday, May 22, 2016, I hope there is no need for apologizing. The second season started kind of slow. I actually considered not continuing to watch the show as it wasn't really interesting, but I continued to watch. Then, episode 3 picked up the tempo, followed by two more better / more intriguing episodes. Now, with the finale coming, I feel more committed to watching it Sunday and beyond.

When I read articles about transgender people, I am discombobulated and feel distressed. First, I feel like a lot of people are going to take advantage of the freedom I enjoy in the United States and screw it up. An idiot who chokes a 8 year old girl is inexcusable - http://www.redstate.com/sweetie15/2016/05/13/8-year-old-girl-latest-victim-inclusive-bathroom-madness/ - and making it okay for me, a man, to use the women's bathroom is just crazy, but it was done in North Carolina, as described in this article.
At the exact moment when I feel repulsed by these actions, I then get a counter argument that I find compelling. It is clear to me that I have compassionate tendencies. When I read http://patch.com/iowa/iowacity/s/fqr83/for-transgender-people-lots-more-to-deal-with-than-bathroom-access?utm_source=newsletter-daily&utm_medium=email&utm_term=politics%20%26%20government&utm_campaign=newsletter&utm_content=article-national article and got a better feel for the daily stress of living in a transgender mind, I am sickened. Someone was told to go 1.5 miles away from where they are every time to pee or poop.
That's nuts, right?

Odd Choice
In Des Moines, between the Silver Snakes and 68, the choice for a tune was Dire Straits' Money for Nothing.
Stay tuned for more details about the show.
With Men
I left Matthew's apartment with that apprehensive feeling absolved of my consciousness. I was mesmerized by the conversation. As each man spoke and told the tale of their life, I really wanted to not feel like dog shit. Topics such as those that were discussed rarely come up at home - I certainly wanted to stay longer than I did.
I do want to capture a revelation, if you will. When the subject of Matthew's journey from married man to divorced man to being married on Saturday was brought up, I contributed the following perspective. Because I saw the daily pain Matthew felt as he went through his journey in 2014, I recommitted to my marriage. It was a call to arms that I needed to be a better husband and a better father and, yes, a better son. I have never kept a tally of all the divorced couples I know and this part of my post is about them, in general, excluding Matthew's situation. From the long conversations I've had with my friends and family that are navigating through a divorce, there seems to be a common thread. The routine becomes unbearable and that unbearable feeling becomes an agent of change. Without naming names, I've known couples that decide to have sex in order to gauge their commitment to each other and when the sex was bad, it's added as a tally mark on the sheet that documents why they are getting divorced. Another couple tried counseling in an effort to rekindle or rediscover the joy that they each felt on their wedding day. It didn't work. Another couple I know decided to separate and take time to themselves. That couple hasn't pulled the trigger, if you will, and may still have a chance. I pray for them and their marriage. I pray that sorting out their feelings for each other in solitude will flip on a light bulb that leads to a reconciliation.
Matthew and Sandra's wedding on Saturday will be the beginning of a chapter filled with the full spectrum of emotions. I am honored to be attending.

Apology Accepted
And talks.
Controversy usually flares up when he talks, whether it was about rap music or Prince's death. Regarding his comments about Prince's recent death, he has offered an apology. I read it. His words relate to my life, specifically:
In my experience [drug users have] made my life, and the lives of their loved ones, difficult. I was raised in a culture/crowd where drug addicts were written off as losers, and since that's the narrative I grew up with, it's been hard to change with the times.
I was brought up that way as well. I drank booze for a number of years (see below) and since I stopped on 12/31/2010, I've often pondered the idea that by now choosing to not drink booze, I am returning to the way I was brought up. A return to my roots, if you will. You see, when I was young, Nancy Reagan's "Just Say No" campaign was popular and catchy. In numerous ways, I firmly believe it instilled the predisposition I have to disliking drugs. I calculated that I probably had my first drink of booze on Thursday, November 10, 1988.
That's when I was a freshman at Mount Mercy College. I wish I could have sent "Future Paul" to that version of my self on my very first day of college with a simple message: begin keeping a journal. I regret I didn't. Instead of a consolidated journal in a single notebook, I wrote about what was happening in my life in a variety of notebooks and random pieces of paper until May 1989. Because I didn't think it was (apparently) a big deal, I don't think I've ever seen where I recorded the date of my first drink of booze. Thus, 11/10/1988 is a guess. This means I drank booze for 22 years, 1 month and 3 weeks of my life. Some of the awful decisions I made after May 1989 are documented in my journals.
Here's another tangent. The effects of drugs on the user as well as the user's family is a recurring sub-plot in "Fear the Walking Dead" series I watch on AMC. One of the main characters is a heroin addict (though in the current second season, he has not done heroin). Because of his past, the way in which other characters interact with him is interesting. This character was a different person when he used frequently. Now that he hasn't used heroin for a bit, his sister and mother still distrust him. They both recall vivid incidents of what it was like when he was in the depths of his drug abuse. I see it in his mother's eyes when she talks to him. She longed for him to not choose heroin and then was repeatedly crushed when he did. It's as if she hears what he tells her but she won't allow herself to believe him because of his past.
What an interesting thought. I will ponder it further in my private journal in light of recent events in my life.
And to bring this post back to the original intent of writing it, Gene Simmons' apology is available in this article.

Ignorance is not a Pro
Dustin Vaughn, Adobe Solutions Consulting Manager, and Stefan Gentz, Adobe's Worldwide Technical Communication Evangelist, teamed up to create an awesome video course that teaches how to take Microsoft Word (MSW) documents into Adobe FrameMaker.
"Word has no book functionality and the master document concept is, well, a concept only," said Gentz. "This is why most Word authors prefer to keep all content in one document, resulting in one big content silo, no re-use of chapters / topics, problems in the translation process, difficult handling, tons of self-written macros to fix tons of problems."
Gentz went on to point out other problems people tend to have with large Word documents including unreliable styles and unpredictable formatting behavior.
"Cross-references tend to break easily and styles change 'magically' in the whole document just because you changed something somewhere," said Gentz.
This phrase intrigued me "styles change 'magically' in the whole document just because you changed something somewhere." As someone who has used MSW since version 2.0, I don't agree with that assessment. Styles change not by magic - nothing in software is "magic" which is why I disapprove of the phrase "The window appears" as a phrase in documentation because of its "magic" connotation - but because you (the user) change a setting. The entire point of using styles (in the first place) is so that when you change a style's definition from 10pt to 12pt, all instances of that style change. If all instances of that style did NOT change, there would be zero point in even using styles. You'd be better off performing multiple (and endless) find and replace actions in the Word document. I'm not sure why Gentz is trying to persuade me to use Framemaker instead of MSW because MSW does what it is supposed to do. The logic falls apart. It almost seems as though Gentz's ignorance of how styles work in MSW.
That said, I do not believe MSW is perfect - no software tool is perfect. There are always software bugs to correct and enhancements to add.

Two Diverse Briefs
"Disagreement is healthy. It sharpens and strengthens and teaches. Condemnation we should use only with extreme care. By all means, condemn the candidates; they are accountable for themselves. But spare those forced to grapple with the same terrible choice as you. For some, the balance tilts another way."
Here's the link: http://www.city-journal.org/html/death-disagreement-14435.html
Brief Two: The reason I put the text [SPOILERS FOLLOW] above is because the second brief is to an article about spoilers - http://freebeacon.com/blog/on-spoilers/ - and it just seemed appropriate...

We're likely not going to see him winking in November, but if I lived in Wisconsin, I would at least want to know more about his stance on issues - health care, illegal immigration, and the role of the United States when it comes to terrorism - before I would endorse his candidacy.

Unequal Pay is Good ... Sometimes
I know this may be a stretch in the logic Ryback uses, but I am taking his argument and applying it to the fictional situation where I am the booking agent for a music festival. Should I pay the 8 bands I'm going to book the same, meaning the very first band that plays should be paid the same as the headliner. Uh, no. Never. Look at this fictional dream lineup of a day-long music festival I would love to book at Kinnick Stadium. Here's the schedule:
12:00 Doors Open
02:10-02:45 From Ashes to New
03:00-03:40 We As Human
04:05-04:45 In This Moment
05:15-06:00 Pop Evil
06:30-07:15 Breaking Benjamin
07:45-09:00 Shinedown
09:30-11:00 Metallica
Editor's Note: Schedule was revised on 5/13/2016 to use the Rock'n Derby main stage schedule as a template. See below the link to Ryback's post for the bands that are playing at that festival.
Regardless of the amount of time a specific band was playing, there is a higher demand for Metallica than From Ashes to New, the same as there is more demand for Cena or The Rock than for Golddust or R Truth. That's the way it is. The only way a band like From Ashes to New or We As Human can move into the Metallica slot is to keep churning away, playing gigs upon gigs until, eventually, they headline their own tour. A great example is Shinedown. They were not in a good slot the first time I saw them at Memphis in May in 2003. While their single "45" was starting to run up the charts, they still played around 2 PM, which is not the best slot. When I saw them in 2008, Shinedown were sandwiched between Buck Cherry & Saving Abel. When I saw them twice in 2013, Shinedown was headlining their own tour with Three Days Grace & POD opening in February and then headlining the "Carnival of Madness" tour with Skillet & Papa Roach & In This Moment & We As Human opening.
So when Ryback says, "Why not pay the talent equally? The winners have more MERCH as it is or are supposed to anyways so they get that extra perk," he has answered his own question. MERCH is not a perk - it's a clear, tangible, & measurable way to determine whether the talent should be headlining a PPV or in the pre-show. Is it fair? Of course not. The WWE Universe is finnicky. It's hard to imagine this, but there was a time when The Rock was booed and was unpopular. Sometimes things work slowly. For example, The New Day started out as heels and the stable looked like it was going to be a bust. They were unpopular and booed often. Since their debut, they have found a way to connect with the crowd to the extent that on the May 2, 2016, episode of Monday Night Raw, they were faces and teamed up with Cass, another face. Sometimes things don't work at all. The League of Nations (Rusev, Alberto Del Rio, Sheamus, and Wade Barrett) never caught on as a stable. When they turned on each other a couple of weeks ago, I certainly didn't shed a tear.

Robbie Z Says to Get High
While I certainly don't endorse the idea that anyone should get high, I do think that the Iowa Legislature should have approved the use of marijuana for medical purposes. Right now, if someone is in severe pain, that person has to go to CO, where it is legal. The Iowa Legislature failed the people of Iowa when they failed to act. I think an issue like this should not be partisan. I would challenge the Republicans to do the research and to help the people that voted for them to do actual work.
Why this extended essay about getting high, drinking booze, and such? Well, Rob Zombie's "Get High" just assaulted my ears for the first time. While I like this groove and the parts where the guitar drops out and it's just singing and a tambourine / percussion in the background, I still am just not a Robbie Z fan. I've seen him in concert, when he was the lead singer of White Zombie, though I can't recall who else was on the bill with him at this precise moment. The guitarist, John 5 (and I only know that because he was on "That Metal Show") proves he is a great guitarist. The drumming is interesting. I even like the vocal effects.
I like "Get High" better than the first single I heard:

Not Hap Hap Hap Happy
My dark hope is Clinton goes to prison for something... anything... between now and the election. However, I am not optimistic about it happening in my life.
I want to be a striver! (hee hee!)
How much do you hate your day job? Maybe you don't hate it at all. There are lucky folks out there who are psychologists or attorneys by day and play in a band at night, and they're completely happy. They feel well-balanced and fulfilled doing what they do. Then there are the rest of us: workers, strivers, many of us feeling blocked or drained by whatever we do to pay the bills.
Nobody needs a rehash of the reasons not to become a professional musician; you're probably the one recounting them whenever a friend suggests that you just do what makes you happy. "But this, but that," you respond, thinking about rent payments and credit card bills. What about all the reasons to do it? What follows is a completely biased list of five reasons you should just go for it and become a pro.
- There's never a perfect time Whether it's getting married, having kids, buying your dream car, or making a career change, there's always an adjustment. There will never be a magic moment when everything else in life is perfect. Psychologists tell us that the major stressors in life are transitions: death, the birth of a child, changing our housing, changing our careers. We probably shouldn't go out of our way to change all of these things at once, but expecting some stress and going into it with good faith, we should never fear to make a change. Why not make the change now?
- Every career has associated expenses, and not all of them are financial Make no mistake, whatever you do right now to make money also costs you money...and more than money. When people think "work-related expenses," they think about commuting costs, dry cleaning, and buying meals at the company cafeteria. Those are the obvious ones. However, full-time jobs also cost you opportunities. You have to say no to all sorts of exciting offers, whether they're social events or money-making gigs, because they conflict with the immovable schedule of your day job. Working for yourself as a musician, you at least have the opportunity to pick and choose and make your own calendar. Only during career transitions do we really see the perks and the downsides of the jobs we leave and the ones we're going to. For example, if you're a music teacher and teach from your home, you just saved five to 10 hours a week in commuting...and $50 a week at Dunkin' Donuts during the ride in.
- Your best chance of success is doing what you do best
Take a good, long look at yourself. What is your greatest talent? Ask your family and your friends. (But probably not your mom. She thinks you're great at everything. Aren't moms awesome?) If your biggest skill - the thing you are blessed to do better than anybody - is something you're only doing six hours a week, then something is out of kilter. The same goes within the field of music. If you're an average drummer but you're a genius behind the board, touring and playing beats should take a backseat to your studio work. If you're an average cell phone repair technician but an amazing fiddler, you need to find a way to fiddle more and fix fewer phones.
- It doesn't necessarily have to be all or nothing There's quite a continuum between working 40 hours per week and being a guitarist and nothing else. If you live in Norway and can get a government grant to compose an atonal opera, that's fantastic. But most of us don't have that kind of help. If quitting your boring job cold turkey isn't viable, why not shorten up your schedule? Your bosses have dreams, too, and may be more helpful than you think when it comes to reaching for yours. Somewhere in the realm of possibilities, there's a place in which you make enough money to feed yourself and have more time to make art. Find that place.
- Life's too short for misery Look at all the people around you. They respect you and think you're great. But if you have a day job that leaves you annoyed and exhausted every day, they're not getting the best of you. You're not getting the best of yourself. It's amazing how much better life looks when you make a positive change, no matter how scary. Opportunity seems to knock more often, and you'll be better equipped to seize it when it does. You'll also be growing in a way that you couldn't in your old job. We need more music, and people to make it. If you want music to be your career, don't hold back. Figure out a way and do it!

Relieve Stress
Before you go to the link below, you should know Karen showed me the image at the other end of the link last night. It seems to be the rage on Facebook. It's fair to say that I didn't want to directly have the image on my blog. Once you see it, my cryptic message will make more sense.
All that said, I really do want to relieve some stress pretty much every day. (winking playfulness)

And messing up during rehearsal or when trying to write a song are not really fair to be included.
Rehearsal is where you practice and writing music is all about experiencing the magic of creativity.
Performing on stage, with 1000s of fans who have studied the albums cannot be without enormous pressure.
I felt like I had to nail down certain drum parts of the songs Lou's Classic Ride and Uncle Rico the Band covered because I knew that there would likely be musicians who would know that I screwed up if I didn't nail a fill the same as the recording. Multiply the audience I played in front of by a lot more to get an idea of what Ulrich is facing. On top of that, every time he plays, there is a camera to capture the moment of being imperfect.
I think the majority of people who hate on Ulrich don't play drums or if they do, they don't play drums in front of the number of fans Ulrich does on a regular basis. To be so nieve to think that they would never EVER make a mistake on stage is a characteristic of a delusional individual.

Job growth is positive in many sectors of Indiana's economy, according to a report from the Department of Workforce and Development.
An Indiana expert says the Hoosier State is not alone in lacking skills needed for some jobs.
The housing market and auto sales showed substantial growth last month.
An Indiana University study looked at the top hiring industries as well as how long Indiana graduates tend to stay in the state.
Eleven percent of the companies surveyed said they plan to expand in the next two years.
The new workers will build a version of the Honda Civic which runs on natural gas.
Otis' Bloomington factory is closing in 2012, leaving more than 200 employees out of work.
Manufacturing is largely responsible for the state's increase in new jobs.
The national unemployment rate fell one-tenth of a percent last month, though Indiana's rate remains lower.
"The last month, all of us have put the political pressure on. All of Indiana's congressmen--both senators--have endorsed the project."

I might use this in my classes when I talk about homophobia as acceptable bigotry. Thanks for the Idea Nathan @sociologysource.
Oreo represented their support for Gay Pride on June 15 via their Facebook Fan Page - this was the caption of the picture "Proudly support love! " . It just makes me want to go out and buy some more cookies!! lol Good for them for being such a household name and "standing tall" on this issue!!

true story
You've got way too many Facebook friends. You know how it is...That girl from nursery who added you....That odd bloke from the evening class you took in 2009....Your parents. They're tremendously irritating, but you put up with them. Because we're all annoying and all stuck with each other. The girl who always tells you to "Like and share if you're against cancer... 90% of people don't have the guts to change their FB status. One Like = One Prayer." What they're really saying is "Pay me some attention or you're wishing cancer upon all your loved ones. I'll give them cancer! Acknowledge me, dammit! The stupido who always falls for the latest scam... Every time without fail. Giant spiders, Satanic soft drink logos, coughing to ward off heart attacks. But don't bother correcting them - they'll only get defensive. "I was only trying to raise awareness!" The Facebook gaming addict (That's Me :p)... Mastered Fruit Ninja and Farmville and Candy Crush, but never the privacy settings, so your FB feed turns into a fruit machine of high scores and unlocked "achievements" The lady who likes to make vague, angsty cries for help... Generally starts with 'inspirational quotes', then escalates into nonspecific attention-seeking behaviour The poor schmuck in a competition that depends on votes... "Pleeeease like me, pleeeeeeeease. I know you already clicked like eight times and now you're drowning in spam, but I really want this iPod. The couple who share one account... There is no excuse for this unless you're over 60. So icky - don't you know it's like you're making whimsical comments while wearing a latex mask of your partner's face? A 'novelty' account for a pet / foetus / pre-vocal child... No. As a hamster you lack the language skills necessary to impart anything worthwhile to my life. With kids, the same applies, but also at some point they'll get it together enough to be embarrassed at this weird, fantasy version of them that you're showing to the world. Someone who has genuinely achieved something worthwhile in their life... These people are the worst. They should stop making us feel bad The drama queen who's always dramatically flouncing off..... But can't resist instantly coming back to see what effect he's had. P.S These are about no body in particular on my Facebook friends list....If you think it's about you you're just paranoid!

The Canadian Ferry Operators Association (CFOA) voiced its support for the agreement in principle on a comprehensive trade agreement between Canada and the European Union. Under the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), the current Canadian tariff of 25% on ferries shorter than 129 metres will be eliminated over a period of 7 years.
"We applaud the Harper governments efforts in establishing a free trade agreement with the European Union," said Serge Buy, CEO of CFOA. "Our sector is investing $2.3 billion in fleet renewal over the next five years, and the elimination of this tariff will support our ferry operators as they continue to provide vital economic connections for Canadians across the country."
Ferries form an essential part of Canadas transportation infrastructure and ferry operators make key contributions in driving Canadas economy. Last year, CFOA ferry operators:

Minnesota customers of Xcel Energy may soon pay more for electricity -- and one reason, the utility contends, is that they're using less of it.
The state's largest power company, which serves 1.2 million Minnesota customers, told regulators Friday that it needs an additional $285 million, a 10.7 percent increase, in revenue starting next year.
For a typical residential customer, the proposed rate hike would be 12 percent -- or $9 on a monthly bill, Xcel said. Small businesses would see a 10.6 percent increase and large businesses a 9.5 percent boost, the utility said.
Xcel officials said the biggest factor driving the rate request is the $114 million the utility is spending to keep its two Minnesota nuclear power plants operating and boosting the output at one of them. But the No. 2 reason is that electricity sales have fallen nearly 4 percent since its 2011 rate hike.
With less revenue coming in, Xcel wants everyone to pay more to cover costs.
"It's a simple equation of cost-of-doing-business divided by the base amount of energy being used," said Laura McCarten, a regional vice president for Xcel's Minnesota operations. "When that base reduces, then the cost goes up."
McCarten attributed the drop in power sales to the lingering effects of the recession and the loss of large customers like the Ford plant in St. Paul, which closed last December, and the Verso paper mill in Sartell, Minn., which shut down after a fire on Memorial Day.
If approved by the state Public Utilities Commission (PUC), this will be the fifth rate increase since 2005, including one earlier this year and another in 2011. In all of those cases, the approved rate hike ended up being less than Xcel requested.
Thanks partly to stable revenue growth and lower investment needs, Xcel avoided a Minnesota rate hike for many years prior to the recent string of them.
McCarten said it's common practice for the utility to recoup investments in power plants and the grid from customers -- and this year's investments are on the same scale as in the recent past. Xcel said higher property taxes and other grid and plant investments also are driving the rate-hike request.
"What's different is that on top of that, we now have a $40 million property tax increase and in a typical year that would be more like $10 million, and the base usage of energy has fallen off," McCarten said.
The higher-than-usual tax hike stems partly from a higher valuation of assets because of Xcel's investments in them, she said.
The investments will keep the Prairie Island nuclear power plant near Red Wing and the Monticello nuclear power plant operating until the early 2030s, Xcel said. The Monticello plant also is undergoing a power-boosting upgrade. Plans to do the same at Prairie Island were recently scrapped.
Discount offer
In an effort to rebuild some of its base, Xcel proposed to offer discounted rates to large industries that want to expand in Minnesota. The utility recently offered such a deal to a St. Paul metal recycler and believes other companies could benefit.
"For a customer who faces a competitive threat and might be thinking about leaving the state, it allows us to offer an alternative to that and compete for that customer," said Chris Clark, an Xcel regional vice president for rates and regulatory affairs.
Bill Blazar, vice president of regulatory affairs for the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, said the need for such a discount-rate program underscores the business group's concern about power costs.
"Our concern is that Minnesota may be losing its advantage when it comes to competitive electric rates," Blazar said.
The rate-hike request sets off a long regulatory process that probably won't end until later in 2013. Two state agencies, the Commerce Department's Energy Resources Division and the attorney general's office, represent consumers, although anyone can weigh in with the PUC, which offers a way to comment through its website.
One battle line in the case is likely to be how to spread the pain. Large business customers already pay lower rates than homeowners, but they have long argued that they should pay even less because it costs significantly less to deliver power to big users.
Xcel asked for permission for an interim rate hike that would take effect in January. That bump would be slightly less than the permanent rate increase being sought.
If an interim rate hike is approved, customers would begin paying more on their January bills. If the final rate hike is less than requested -- as happened this year and is not uncommon -- the utility must give out refunds.
If the approved rate hike exceeded the interim rate, customers would not have to make up the difference for the months they have already paid.

A pair of former Guns n' Roses members made news today for completely different reasons. Guitarist Izzy Stradlin released his new solo album Concrete to iTunes. The 10-track album features Izzy's former Gn'R bandmate and current Velvet Revolver member Duff McKagan on the title track. On the flip side, Roses' drummer Steven Adler was arrested early this morning for possession of narcotics, being under the influence and having an outstanding warrant. Adler was arrested at 4 AM this morning after police received a call about a man creating a disturbance. The drummer was jailed on $45,000 bail. Adler, ironically enough, recently completed filming the second season of VH1's Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, and was reportedly planning to star in a spin-off show called Sober Living. That show would have required Adler to live in a house with other recovering addicts as they attempted to resurrect their careers without drugs or alcohol. The second season of Celebrity Rehab won't air until October, so maybe we should have prefaced this post with "Spoiler Alert."
