HA!!!!!!!!!!!!! No no no!! Sorry, my friend. Just don't see myself walking on ice anytime soon. Can you imagine the thunderous tremor caused by my inevitable fall????? Not to mention the girlish scream of agony as my spine disintegrates, leaving me a hulking mass of quivering fat, slowly freezing on the "house". HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAAAA!!! Look it up on Wiki!

Nah, I wouldn't be so cruel. In a nutshell, sweeping can change both the speed and "curl" of the stone. Look at a shot after an opponent "takes out" a rock. A sweeper often will start sweeping the other's rock to get them out of the "house" or target.Speeds it up, iow.

As for strategy, you'll often see what I am watching now: throwing "guards" that will be in front of the target / house. They can try to "curl" around them or hit them head-on to take them out. When I refer to the yelling, it is usually the person / "skip" who threw the rock and is watching the line or trajectory of the shot rock and is shouting at the sweepers to do one thing or another. Sweep with more pressure, less, not at all, etc.

So, when are we going to play?

Yeah, I was actually wondering about that. What is the point with the brooms?? Do they actually have an affect on the stone?? If so, what?

See? Becoming a convert! NOTHING like playing it.

10 "ends" (like bowling). The sweepers can get the rock to speed up, slow down or "curl" one direction or another. I prefer watching the women. They scream more! Even better was in the past when they actually used brooms instead of these new swiffers. Wonder if they clean floors too?

Believe it or not, I watched the Sweden/Canada match yesterday. STILL don't get it but it appears to be shuffleboard on ice...

They are heads and shoulders more advanced. I see that the damage has yet to be assessed and that they are still waiting for aftershocks but it is like an 8.8 hitting Japan. Won't be anything close.

Say, watching curling?! LOL!!

Quite likely that they are a little more technically advanced as far as infrastructure is concerned.

Yikes! An 8.8 shaker in Chile? Oddly enough, they will probably have less damage than Haiti.

Great news, DF!! Have fun and good luck! Can't wait to hear even more of your "crappy" music. HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In just a little bit I'm going to put up my Rob poster. He'll look great up on the wall along with several other magazine cutouts I have of him, KK and Glenn. Yup, that's right. I have pics pinned to the wall of people I've never met. Not only that, but I also have pics of Dio and Lemmy up on my wall. Oh my. I think I need to get out more. BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ya know Freeze I was going to say Congrats on joining a new band, and I was awaiting news of the "Crap" music you where going to send up, because we are all sheep and can apprieciate  such things, but then I decided not to. Now, I wish I had,  as I dont' think I got the last post! HAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate when I do that! LOL

Seriously congrats on the new endever and you know us "sheep" will be around to judge your "crappy" music anyday.

This should be in the Hmmm... thread because that's what I'm doing right now.  You make a very good point
but believe it or not I still have trouble saying that sucks. I'd be lying if I told you I've never done that but at this
point in my life I would rather just say I don't like something.

Glad to read that post. I like the song "Walk Alone". I think your vocals are great on it. Well written lyrics
also. I guess what I'm saying is from what I can tell you should be doing this. I like the classic (and) modern rock
idea. You don't want to get stuck in a rut.

Can't say that I have noticed, to be honest.

Who are you to say? Why, a rational, thinking human being. Shall I play the music that brought JP up on stage at the Grammy's for you? There MUST have been an audience there somehwhere, eh? Watch some of American Idol. It also has an audience. You can't say something sucks?! Maybe you can make Freeze happy and take Ellen's place.

Notice none of my posts have used those terms. I only rate bands in terms of my favorites. 
I don't judge or criticize other forms of music either. If it has an audience who am I to say it
sucks.

Well I am not sure that we will be "rated" but it is now OFFICIAL...I am in a NEW band!!!  I have been practicing with them now for almost two weeks and we have a show on the 5th (next week).

The band is Breaking Dawn.  They are fairly well-established here in the Vegas scene and I am a GREAT fit for their style. We are doing a mixture of Classic and more modern Rock. I am having a GREAT time!! They are serious musicians and work very hard!!! Looks like things are going to be heating up!! Anyway, you all can expect more of my "crappy" music very soon.  HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Love that LIVE Rock and Roll!!!!!

Hey, Is anyone here going to Rock on the Range 2010 in Columbus, Ohio this year?
I got my hotel package a few days ago. 38 bands on 3 stages over a 2 day period.
A very diverse line-up. I can't wait.

Morning everyone. The start of a very busy day here, getting sorted to head up north for the weekend - it's my mums 50th birthday party tomorrow, which my cousin and I basically got bullied in to organising, i.e. I got a text message from my mum saying 'I WANT A PARTY!!!!' So I'm a little stressed right now LOL! Just hoping everything goes smoothly!
Hope you are all having a good day!

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Band practice tonight so all will be quiet in this house today! Quiet here, too. THAT is good news!!

Oh my goodness Joe! I'm glad she's ok, sounds like it was very frightening! I had croup for ages last year, it's bloody awful, sudden coughing fits that you can't shake, which also means you can't breathe. Horrible. Again, I'm glad your girl is ok, hopefully it doesn't happen again!

Yeah it was pretty scary. I even felt a bit worried putting her down tonight but she's in our bed so we can keep two sets of beady eyes on her lol. We prepped her earlier and said to her if it happens again tonight to try remember that we steamed her and that helped so that she doesn't freak out when we take her into the steamy bathroom.. Lets hope it was a one off thing.

OMG Joe! I can't even imagine how scary that must have been! Thank God she is OK! She is lucky to have two wonderful parents who knew exactly what to do for her. I'm glad for her sake that she doesn't remember anything. But you will probably remember that fear for the rest of your life!

Good morning Metal peeps!

Woo boy! What a fecking night!

Last night, ok early hours of the morning (1: 50am) my daughter woke up hot as hell and choking. She panicked and ran around the bedroom like she'd been set on fire or something. In a daze, worked out she couldn't breathe because she'd had a croupe cough attack. She was screaming in a panic and it took a while to calm her, get a room steamed up to open her throat and then slow her heartbeat down. When we got the lights on her face was blue/yellow so she obvioulsy was not getting enough air in and the hysterical crying was not helping her at all. Neither did the flaming fever help the situation. So we got her some meds and had a restless time until the alarm went off. By the time she woke up for school she didn't even remember what happened. Probably a good thing but scary as hell for us!

I would have posted my happiness in the Hockey thread but someone else laid claim to it.

Was at the edge of my seat, though, as I was for Bode's run. Good for him too.
