For the most part, it's virtuosity for the sake of virtuosity. Most progressive stuff is like that and it's also why it is rarely a commercial success. As much as I used to like them, you rarely find yourself humming their tunes when you're doing something else. It's great stuff, but it just doesn't stick with you as much as more simple musical fare so often does.

Most recordings anymore fit the beat to the click so they can cut and paste things more easily on the computer. It's the loss of "swing" and feel in songs that makes them sound so sterile. When I was working in the studio, that was my preferred method. Record the band live until you get a good take, then punch in any dubs. Obviously it does depend on the band and the style, but most bands put out a better recording that way. A lot of players just aren't comfortable with the method of building a song track by track and you lose a lot of energy in the song.

He'll probably make a few more bucks at the new gig. As much as I like DT, it's not like they are selling out stadiums and millions of discs right now. I met Mike a couple times when I was still in radio and he was great to me, really friendly and welcoming.

I broke an 8 iron at the range a few years ago, shaft snapped about six inches up from the blade on the follow through and clocked me in the back of the head. Worst part is it was a tri-gold shaft and they were club specific, I ended up replacing it with a dynamic gold S300.

I haven't been able to hit my driver for a while, it's my go-to club off the tee on par fours and fives.

Broke my 4 iron today. The shaft snapped just above the hosel and the head ended up 90 yards down the fairway.

Drunks at concerts. Some jackass was so hammered that he was stumbling around and running over everyone. Stepped on my foot and fell into my leg, re-injuring my sprained ankle that was finally almost completely healed. Later he kicked over a couple of our drinks and during the encore, he ends up falling down on the lawn chair we had with us (lawn section, amphitheater) and broke it. He did the same types of things to a few other people around us too.

I always hated dealing with that stuff when I was a network admin. Rather than deal with individual desktops, I just blacklisted sites that got too much traffic.

100/75 I would give it at least two skates, but it will just take a couple extra passes to put the added depth back on for a traditional ROH.

Well, you're in the right place. It's like an AA group for hockey equipment, except we never quit.

most of my guys that were on half inch went to 100/50

Quite a bit of NSFW language, pretty much sums up my weekend.

A lot of people like them because they offer different cuts and they're as good as anything else out there.

If you note, my objection was to giving a discount simply so someone could experiment. It had nothing to do with squeezing every last drop of blood and was simply just not giving away a service for free. I fixed issues caused by my partner or the one guy that I didn't train for free a couple times, that's something every shop should do. As for the nickle and diming, shops have to deal with customers that use their shop as a fitting room for online purchases, it's very easy to see how some can develop an adversarial relationship with some people. Consumables may only be $100, but the machines aren't cheap. Nor are the rest of the costs that go into running a shop. That said, I never charged extra for anything other than new skates purchased somewhere else or severely abused slates that took a long time to fix. Like the Amish guy that used a bench grinder to make a point on the bottom of the skate.

Click tracks and pro tools have ruined the recording industry almost as much as autotune, they just did it more subtly.

Why should the shop take a hit on your experimentation? Do you get to use a bunch of different sticks until you find the right curve or flex?

If he has complaints, try the hollow that may help resolve the complaint. There is no "best", other than what makes you feel the most comfortable.

Officially, that is correct.

With all the weight I gained and conditioning lost sitting around with a concussion over the winter, I feel like a slug out there. I appreciate the compliment, but I know what I'm capable of doing and not being able to do that is very frustrating to me personally. As for taping, I tried that before the game and it didn't really help. Nor did trying the stiffer RBK skates, in fact, the stiffness caused more pain. I do have some neoprene wraps that I use when I'm home, but they don't fit well in a shoe or skate. In your case, something like a neoprene wrap or bunga pad would probably help if the pain is coming from rubbing on the surface. If it's just pain, then you might want to see a doctor as it really shouldn't be lingering this long. Friendly pick up groups are a great alternative in cases like this. At least you know those guys aren't going to try and kill you to win a t-shirt for being the league champs.

I know the feeling. I sprained my ankle back in the middle of July at a team party and it's still not right. Playing in my playoff games and in Toronto certainly didn't help either.

I don't have a team for the fall. Rink decided that the team that went 18-2-0 didn't have to move to a higher division and I decided that the rink wasn't getting my money.

The problem is that your statement of "girls require time and money" would be properly notated as girls = time + money

I prefer having mine done more frequently, but the edge is no more "fragile" than a ROH sharpening. A bad ding or piss poor sharpening is going to screw up your edges no matter how you sharpen your skates. Try it and decide for yourself, just like anything else opinions will vary from one person to the next and some people will exaggerate the positives and/or negatives.

More personality than a lot of people I know. http://www.modsquadhockey.com/pics/chadd/snow%20003.jpg

I still miss my Australian Shepherd and think of her almost daily despite the fact that it has been more than six years.
