But these may be more what you are referring to...
quote from another site: Ringo hated drum solos, which should win points with quite a few people. He only took one solo while with the Beatles. His eight measure solo appears during "The End" on the "B" side of Abbey Road. Some might say that it is not a great display of technical virtuosity, but they would be at least partially mistaken. You can set an electronic metronome to a perfect 126 beats per minute, then play it along with Ringo's solo and the two will stay exactly together.
Ringo's ability to play odd time signatures helped to push popular songwriting into uncharted areas. Two examples are "All you Need is Love" in 7/4 time, and "Here Comes the Sun" with repeating 11/8, 4/4, and 7/8 passages in the chorus.
So he could vary the tempo internally while maintaining a perfect beat (from one recording to the next apparently which let them easily cut the music together) in that section.
He's alternately praised for having a rock solid back beat you couldn't move with a cran and then for not keeping metronome time but keeping with the feel of the song here:
George Martin -- "Ringo always got and still gets a unique sound out of his drums, as sound as distinctive as his voice.... Ringo gets a looser deeper sound out of his drums that is unique....This detailed attention to the tone of his drums is one of the reasons for Ringo's brilliance. Another is that although Ringo does not keep time with a metronome accuracy, he has unrivaled feel for a song. If his timing fluctuates, it invariably does so in the right place at the right time, keep the right atmosphere going on the track and give it a rock solid foundation. This held true for every single Beatles number Richie played... Ringo also was a great tom tom player." ( Summer of Love, 1994)
but also
George Martin -- "Ringo has a tremendous feel for a song and he always helped us hit the right tempo the first time. He was rock solid. This made the recording of all the Beatle songs so much easier." (interviewed in 1988 for The Beatles Recording Sessions by Mark Lewisohn)
A well calibrated home theater can be much quieter than that if you do not listen to louder music all the time.
As the blind person's other senses get more powerful the same thing will happen with your hearing.
If you cut back on your sugar intake by 80%, you will be amazed how overly sweet everything is. 85% dark chocolate starts to taste like milk chocolate after a while and milk chocolate tastes like a bar of pure sugar dusted with chocolate.
You do not need to have your shirt moved by the sound of explosions in an action movie.
Another element is that the original drummers varied the meter and tempo of the drums dynamically. I saw a really cool video analysis of Ringo and so other old school drummers and it was anything BUT an even perfect beat. And it was intentional the way they sped up or slowed down the beat in a very analog manner.
Solar attic vent made a big difference to me. The air started blowing colder in seconds after it startted.
If you are in the south, EER matters more than SEER.
I found that wrapping the ductwork in radiant barrier was cheap and highly effective.
I mostly went straight to LED. 3000kelvin is a better quality light than 2900 (too orange). The new 3500 kelvin CFL light from Home depot (red box) is nice. Real white- not blue- light.
My bill is down from 1500kwh to 1243 kwh.
I recently bought a "Spinray" solar panel. These only make sense at $500 a panel. With federal tax credit they currently run $1000. They were $700 with credit when I bought mine but they shot up in price.
We played war, threw real rocks at each other (so cover was important). We did lots of violent stimulating activities. Riding bicycles as fast as we could and jumping off to grab a tree branch and swing while the bike sailed off. Running to the edge of the bayo with card board boxes and jumping off the edge onto the 45 degree slope and sliding down (could have broken our arms).
And our video games as they appeared had guns almost immediately. It was like pong, pac man, then shooters.
My favorite games were Crazy Climber (no gun), ROBOTRON 2084, Defender. Two of three involved shooting and killing things.
You only lost about $100 sales to the college student who infringed $85,000 worth of songs and movies. And you will probably get the $100 as they buy "real" copies of the few things they really like.
Guns primary uses are hunting and then to defend against government oppression.
Guns still have that effect some with local police but have lost that benefit with the state or federal governments any more as both have vastly superior firepower and surveillance capabilities.
The powerful have set up a system where they were getting 98% of the benefits of society without revolution. As long as the powerful do not get too greedy and shoot for that last 2%, guns are pointless.
There have been some bad signs over the last decade that they might just be going for it and think the other 98% are going to just suffer and die quietly. -- She was like chocolate when she drank... semi-sweet at first and then increasingly bitter.
I've been using a lot of voice recognition to IM lately.
SO I called someone and got voice mail.. and I said...
"Okay, I got your call and I'll see you later today PERIOD".
I was face slapping as soon as i hung up.
Oh and for the benefit of NSA and twitter type scanners...
I don't know what this shit is. Fuck that. I HATE it when they scan my posts. Period. I mean blah blah blah, yada, yada. I mean, I don't give a flying fuck, um, what they think.
Thanks--- I was, ah, feeling psychopathic, and um, didn't want to put that in a separate post.

As so many times in the past (seriously- back to like 200 A.D.), those censors and monitors will be corrupted. Some will be found to have large collections of porn- some of it illegal, etc.
As the level rises, the extremes increase. An inch of increase (depending on the topography of the shore) may result in a 6" extra surge -- once per 10 years.
Otherwise- I completely agree with you. People who build on the shore should expect to move.
There is a very recent exciting discovery with nano materials to both demineralize sea water AND mine the minerals from the sea water.
This allows water with the perfect salt level for irrigation- which opens up a lot of arable land. It's really exciting stuff. Common materials, under 1% of the current energy requirements, and the minerals extracted could well cover the cost of water purification.
There is a carbon cycle. As it was increasingly locked up, we were tipping into an iceage. As we added agriculture- burning and clearing trees- we aborted the cycle.
There may be other factors (such as dust in space between us and the sun, solar energy cycles, vulcanism cycles, etc.) as well.
Well, you see if Obama is selected there is uncertainty over what the future holds, while if Romney is selected there is uncertainty over what the future holds.
The net result was loss of a lot of middle people. Where they felt secure before, now they find it makes more sense to go to a different company with better pay and shorter hours.
We can't even use decimals. Basically you are outperforming (promotable), performing (you are average), or you are under performing (shape up or be fired).
As the job market tightens up with the boomers and older chinese retiring or quitting for less stressful jobs, companies are going to have to treat workers better or be left out cold.
Oh.. and we also lost our top performers too. Too many hours and the pay is better at other places for top performers.

I get your point but this is different.
It's like when supermarkets decide they are going to remove 80% of the brands and focus on only the 20% most profitable.
You have a lot less choice.
Fortunately we have internet bands now. Perhaps they can bypass the machine.
But these may be more what you are referring to...

Currently, artificial drums have the same tempo.
There are a lot of songs you can recognize instantly from the 60's and 70's because they used unusual instruments like the sitar.

Result constant loss of people with years of business knowledge and they will have no clue why.
Exactly.

Exactly. This seems really suicidal on their part.
Especially the owners.
This could be legalized and it would weaken the cartels but also allow them to transition to legal businesses.
Doing it this way tho... going to end badly.
Have to admire that they are so well off and they are willing to risk very violent deaths at the hands of the cartels.
And it won't have the slightest effect on availability of the drugs.
The last figure i heard..
4 billion / 2 million = 500.
if the curve is linear, then would translate to an over 100% chance of death.
1/7 * 500 = 500/7ths.
So it's not linear.
Cut costs until the chance of death rises. Problem is the incidence is so low that randomness is a heavy factor in the process.
You just can't "un know" and "un see" things.
As so many times in the past (seriously- back to like 200 A.D.), those censors and monitors will be corrupted. Some will be found to have large collections of porn- some of it illegal, etc.
It's not the average that matters.

Amazing that someone would mod down a comment this innocuous.
"So by this logic, if they accuse you of murder and there is no body and you cleaned your house recently, then you should be convicted?
That's almost as ludicrous as the "Ip address is the same as fingerprint" argument."

I hope that clears up the question for everybody.
They started this at our company last year.

Did so much good at the banks and financial institutes.
