Again, it depends on where you live.

Depending on what part of the production year, it's 9-10k per year, that's right around average depending on what part of the country you live in.

Then lower the COR even more. Nothing wrong with more contact, makes the game more interesting. Plus there are already live ball and dead ball eras.

If the league mandates a COR equal to that of wood, there would be no change in how fast it comes back at the pitcher. I agree that it isn't likely to happen any time soon though.

Got a great deal on another guitar today. Looking forward to next week when I have a lot of time off to play it more.

Just got a call from the training department and I have an interview for an instructor position on Monday afternoon. The only downside is that I don't get home from work until 11PM on Sunday night and my flight down leaves Monday at 9AM.

They should just go to composite or metal with a maximum allowable COR like they do with golf clubs. Require the manufacturer to certify that it is legal before shipping with large penalties for shipping an illegal bat and spot check each team randomly.

Just finished six days of flying, get home at midnight. I have a 90 minute drive tomorrow morning for a USAH ref clinic that starts at 8AM and a 12 hour day of work on Sunday.

I would feel bad about finding this funny if I wasn't already on an express train to hell. Not safe for work language. http://strangebeaver.com/2010/09/tourettes-karaoke/

Without quiet parts, the loud parts just don't seem as loud. You lose a lot of dynamics when you compress everything and crank it up. Nice video, the band does a pretty good job in the end. It takes more time, but it produces a better product in the end.

Taco's are fairly tough vehicles, glad to hear you are ok. Hopefully you enjoy your new car.

It started with pop stuff and drum machines a long time ago, but they've only recently decided to remove the soul from just about every recording.

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.
