Breaking Glass with Sound
A few things to note: The scrolling effect seen in the strobe light footage is caused by interference between the strobe light frequency and the video camera frame rate. Also, the real oscillations of the glass are much faster than they appear in the strobe footage. Setting the frequency of the strobe light can make them appear much slower so that we can see the oscillations in real time without the help of high speed video.
We would like to thank Dr. Jim Bales of the MIT Edgerton Center for helping us with the high speed video recording, and for the use of the equipment. The high speed camera used here is a Phantom v7.1, donated by the manufacturer Vision Research, Inc.

First, I would say you need a quality crystal wine glass. Next you need to determine that individual glass's natural resonance, i.e., the freq,. that it vibrates the easiest at. An oscilloscope would help. Next you need a quality freq. generator to reproduce that exact freq. and some quality transducers (speakers) that are not going to get burnt up playing back a loud sustained freq. or sine wave., not to mention a pretty awesome amplifier. really interesting facts

Just awesome. Learned so much about the red rock and area. Just breath-taking. Thank you.
The views from the tour were breathtaking - the tour guide (Jeff) was VERY knowledgeable and entertaining. The whole trip was thoroughly enjoyable and one that I would very highly recommend.
Absolutely first rate. Our guide's driving skills and knowledge of the area were excellent, and he even took a few "We were here" shots for us - especially nice for solo travelers. If you're visiting Sedona this is one of the safest ways to get into the real outback unless you're prepared to hike, mountain bike or rent an ATV (which I wouldn't recommend unless you're a very experienced offroader and able to orienteer). Don't take this tour if you have any neck or back issues, but if those aren't an issue GO FOR IT! And when your guide says "Please make certain your seat belt is securely fastened", listen! Loved this tour.
Our pink jeep tour was wonderful! We had the best time and our tour guide Joseph was terrific!! Sedona is BEAUTIFUL!! We highly recommend the Broken Arrow Tour to everyone visiting Sedona!! :)
Had a wonderful experience. Traffic made us late but the friendly receptionist changed our time to the next tour and it worked out great. Rodger our tour guide was extremely informative, we had beautiful weather and the scenery was breathtaking. This trip was more than we would have ever expected.
Loved the tour!
the tour people are the best -- Also, what an experience.
My wife and I wanted to go right back out on the tour.
Fun! We went up and over and down in places that no vehicles but the specially transformed and enhanced pink jeeps could handle. Our guide, Dan, was well-informed and instructive about the geological history of the rock formations. Our group included folks from 7 to 70 years of age. All enjoyed it.
The views were amazing! Our guide Shane shared his love and knowledge of the area and was truely hilarious. It is hard to believe a jeep can manuver the rough terraine the way it did. Great time had by all.
It was an awesome tour. Our guide PJ was very knowledgeable and eager to make our trip memorable which it was. the scenery is breathtaking and wee worth the cost. A definite must for your Sedona visit!
Wonderful tour and guide.
Our tour was awesome. Our guide Andy was knowledgeable, funny, charming and couteous. We felt very safe yet it was very exciting at the same time. He took great pictures of us and answere all of our questions promptly and with lots of insight. Great tour!
Amazing experience
Couldn't have ask for a better guide and experience!
We loved the experience and the guide was terrific...I think his name was Pete, but not sure!
It was a lot of fun. Our driver was super cool and informative.
Great fun! Learned facts and history about Sedona from our guide. The ride itself was very exciting. We would do it again.
Pink Jeep is my favorite tour provider through Viator. They are experts in driving as well as knowledge of the area. We spent almost 3 hours exploring areas that cars without 4 wheel drive could not venture into.
Wonderful tour.......our host John was a blast.....he was informative and quite entertaining!
beautiful scenery. Our guide, Bert, was so friendly and informative. He even posed us for some great pictures. I would recommend this trip to anyone. It was thrilling without being scary at all. Loved it!!!
We have never been on a pink jeep tour but would diffently use them again. Our guide really new the area, plants, history of the area. We took our 12 and 14 year old children and they thought it was the best part of our Grand Canyon trip.
Absolutely one of the best experiences ever! Our guide, Paul, was knowledgeable, fun, and so helpful. He took family pbotos for us and assisted my 73 year old mother over the rocky trails. Breathtaking views and climbs that only a pink Jeep could handle. Such a great trip! Definitely recommend!
Took this tour with 2 friends in September. We were amazed at the places we saw and the places the pink jeep took us to. Wes was our tour guide and he did an excellent job driving as well as informing us about the area. It was an exciting trip!
Mike was our tour guide and did an excellent job. This was our first trip to Sedona so it was interesting to hear his local perspective on the area in general and the Red Rock area in particular. Although there seemed to be numerous other outfitters available, I would definitely take the Pink Jeep tour again!
Pete, our Pink Tour driver, was great with the 4 kids on our tour. They loved his comments, and the way he prepared them for the roller coaster like ride. Pete never talked down to the kids, and gave them, and their parents, great info on the sights. Can't say enough good things about the Pink Jeep tour people. :)

Fainting Spells
Gen. Petraeus' collapse is a grim metaphor for the prospects of the Kandahar offensive.
Sen. Levin has long emphasized the need to accelerate training of the Afghan army so that we can turn the fighting over to them. But in his opening statement today, he wondered why the Pentagon has deployed just 2,600 U.S. troops to the training mission—only half the number needed in that role. He also complained that the NATO allies have deployed none of the 750 troops that they'd committed to help train Afghan soldiers. (One NATO adviser told me recently that the International Security Assistance Force—the NATO command that's running the multinational operation in Afghanistan—is "massively dysfunctional.")
When President Obama decided late last year to send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan, he also said that he would start to withdraw them in July 2011. How many he'd withdraw, and how long he'd continue the mission, would depend in good part on a strategic assessment to be written this December by Gen. Petraeus and Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
If the situation doesn't improve much between now and then, the assessment is likely to be very bad. Under those circumstances, one can expect Petraeus or McChrystal to enter the Oval Office and say, "Mr. President, we believe that three more brigades should do the trick." This is what generals tend to do. But Obama doesn't seem inclined to take the gamble.
In The Promise, his excellent account of Obama's first year in office, Jonathan Alter describes the last of the president's national-security sessions on Afghan-war strategy. His top military advisers—Gen. Petraeus, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, and Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff—have just assured Obama that, with 30,000 extra troops, they can recapture the momentum against the Taliban and start turning the fight over to the Afghan army by the summer of 2011. Alter continues:
"Good. No problem," the president said. "If you can't do the things you say you can in 18 months, then no one is going to suggest we stay, right? ... I'm not asking you to change what you believe, but if you don't agree with me that we can execute this, say so now …"
No one said anything.
"Tell me now," Obama repeated.
"Fully support, sir," Mullen said.
"Ditto," Petraeus said.
Sen. John McCain, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, read aloud this passage in this morning's hearings and asked Petraeus if it was true. Petraeus declined to comment on conversations in the Oval Office, but he said he supported the president's policy, adding the usual caveat about "conditions on the ground."
It was probably a coincidence, but a few minutes after this exchange, a little less than an hour into the hearing, Petraeus had his fainting spell and left the room along with his colleagues. Upon returning to the witness table about 20 minutes later, he said that the light-headedness stemmed from dehydration. "It wasn't from McCain's questioning, I assure you."
The general said he wanted to proceed with the hearing, but Levin, who said he'd discussed the matter with other committee members, called a recess and said the hearing would resume Wednesday morning.
So will all the troubles with this war.

There are some mouth-watering clashes in store in the JC Cyril Anekstein Cup, as well as a handful of matches in the JC MSFL. Danny Caro looks ahead to all the action on Matchday 9 of the season.
Spartan South Midlands League Division One
Buckingham Athletic 1 London Lions 0
Lodnon Lions failed to build on Wednesday night's impressive performance and win over Wodson Park losing by a solitary goal to Buckingham Athletic.
Spartan South Midlands League Division One
London Lions 3 Wodson Park 0
London Lions put Saturday's dismal performance against Kings Langley firmly behind them with a superb 3-0 win over Wodson Park at home.
A hat-trick from NIGEL SOMMECK inspired Jewventus to their first win of the season as they beat fellow strugglers Boca Jewniors at Chase Lodge.
Anyone in attendance at the early kick off was gifted with a thoroughly entertaining match. Although goalless until the hour-mark, chances were not at a premium.
Tony Rosenberg believes his Manchester Maccabi 1st side could learn a trick or two from Roberto Mancini after they suffered a shock defeat to ten-man Hartshead FC.
Manchester City fan Rosenberg says the way Mancini's men tore 10-man Manchester United apart during last weekend's 6-1 thrashing was the perfect lesson in how to make the man advantage count.
Following his five-goal heroics against Team JLGB, Shirley Park hotshot Saul Conway has climbed to the top of the JC MSFL goal charts.
16 – Saul Conway (Shirley Park)
12 - Terry Jeffries (Temple Fortune B)
