The Dimond Aquatic Center is nothing short of amazing. It’s what I would describe as a mini indoor water park. When visiting, I couldn’t believe how many things that this place had. There’s an Aqua Aerobics event early in the morning, plus Tai Chi classes too. You can also book all of the event rooms depending on the size of your party, or just one room. The coolest thing is that the water is half salt, half chlorine. There’s all types of things to do here; There’s waterslides, a lazy river, a lap pool with diving boards, locker rooms, showers, a hot tub, a sauna, and yes even a gym with plenty of workout equipment!

[Chance Trahan & Corey Taylor – Portland, Oregon – 2000 – Roseland Theater – 3AM]

This NuMetal band started out with big dreams in a little town in Des Moines, Iowa, and just as the band had hoped, Slipknot quickly became a phenomenon of its own. Their members have gone through several lineup changes with rotating members over the years. The first singer, Anders Colsefni, was the first one to be recorded, and before too long, they had an album titled Mate, Feed, Kill, Repeat. However, this album would only be a demo of what was to come, and Anders would ultimately not be a part of the final product. After the band decided on a new singer, some of the members approached Corey Taylor, and Joey asked Corey if he’d join their new project as the lead singer. Corey agreed and they recorded new demos, and those demos would be the launch of what was to come for the next couple decades. Slipknot shocked the town of Des Moines by wearing halloween masks on stage and playing outrageously heavy metal music. Their sound would captivate people everywhere all across the world, and they were often compared to bands like GWAR and Mushroomhead. Some would even say that Mushroomhead inspired their use of masks on stage, and while that could be true, Slipknot would seem to take their band much farther and ultimately become much more profitable than the latter (Odds are that you might know who Slipknot is, but never heard of Mushroomhead).

Governmental agency that handles US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement just performed one of their biggest busts ever, and netted a total of 680 arrests. The raids took place at seven different food processing plants in just Mississippi alone and consisted in small town busts where many things can easily go under the radar, unless you happen to be a local to one of these vicinities. Locals tend to notice mostly everything in a small town, and operations may seem to be going well, but that certainly doesn’t mean that the people surrounding said corrupt operations don’t notice. Both owners and employees of the companies in question are under fire and having to answer to authorities, and are seemingly not excited about the publicity they’re getting. (Then again, who would be?) ICE agents are said to be using a military facility to appropriate due processing following the heavyweight bust.
