...think this younger generation has changed? The business moves so much faster now. It used to be if Andre the Giant and I had a feud, it'd probably play out six or seven months later at a big event. Nowadays, if Andre the Giant and Hulk Hogan have a feud at 9 o'clock, it's usually over by 9:30. It's a story-telling art form to create emotion and drama and I just think a lot of that is lost...
...contains interspersed fast and slow tempos and a very classic rock feel. Starting off with nearly 40 seconds of silence, the track begins with slow, calm, and collected vocals. This is quickly joined by powerful half-note guitar chords and a guitar lick that leads into a faster tempo and repeat of the verse. With lead singer Stockdale’s passionate wail and the grandeur and straightforwardness of the melody, it sounds something like Led Zeppelin with a more metallic edge...
...today face a large and growing pool of information, but I don’t see readers (if they can even be called that anymore) becoming more analytical as a result of the many recent developments in reading technology. If anything, these products seem merely to make us read faster, less carefully, and in such a way that we can no longer absorb anything not presented in an easily digestible form such as video clips or embedded MP3 files. After all, is a vook something we “read” or something we “experience?...
...over the past year doubled its number of helicopters based in Afghanistan to about 225, but troop numbers have risen even faster, making for a more acute chopper shortage. Helicopters are swift but delicate machines. The physics of flight make them inherently unstable, and therefore less reliable, than fixed-wing aircraft which generate their lift from stationary wings instead of egg-beater-like rotor blades. More critically, chopper pilots are commonly expected to fly in hot weather at high altitudes, where less-dense air offers them less control over their aircraft...
...kind of one-sided study that lobbyists sometimes commission to create scary sound bites. It worked. The report analyzed the impact of four narrow features of the Senate Finance bill using a worst-case-scenario model; it concluded, as Ignagni says, that "health care costs [would] increase far faster and higher than they would under the current system." A fairer reading of the bill, which cleared the Finance Committee on Oct. 13 with a 14-9 vote, with one Republican supporter, suggests these projected costs are wildly exaggerated. Other provisions of the bill are aimed at lowering insurance rates...
