de Mora Luminis: A spectacle in two acts with a prologue and an epilogue53(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.14270View Description Hide Description
Roemer's work on the velocity of light has been incorrectly described in many physics texts and books dealing with the history of science. The evolution of the misinformation is discussed and documented in this paper, which uses this example to call attention to how negligently many authors of physics texts deal with the history of physics.
Microcomputer spreadsheet programs in the physics laboratory53(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.14271View Description Hide Description
We describe the operation of the microcomputer spreadsheet program and examine several of its applications as a calculational aid in the undergraduate physics laboratory. It will be shown to be a useful tool in the areas of data handling, error analysis, and experimental design.
Cardboard star finder53(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.14272View Description Hide Description
An inexpensive star finder which is accurate enough to be used by science majors and simple enough to be used by nonscience majors will be described. Experiments described consist of measurement of the right ascension and angle of declination of celestial objects; the path of the moon on the celestial sphere; the sidereal period of the moon; and measurement of large distances by the method of parallax. A summary of the experimental results obtained by nonscience majors using the star finder will be compared with accepted values.
Ideal ballistic trajectories revisited53(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.14273View Description Hide Description
The various relations that can be derived to describe ideal ballistic trajectories are summarized when (i) the inclined plane is of negative, zero, or positive slope; (ii) the launch and target sites differ in elevation; and (iii) the launch site is obscured from the target site. It is shown that a new simple intuitive physical argument can be used to determine the launch angle θ m which yields maximum range for (i) and (ii). This approach enables students without a knowledge of calculus to analyze these ballistic trajectory problems. Comments are made on the communality of analysis involved in these related kinematic problems.
Compton effect as a double Doppler shift53(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.14274View Description Hide Description
The Compton equation is normally developed using the photon model, but it is also capable of derivation based on a classical wave model of light, and there is a considerable history of such derivations, including one by Compton himself. A simple derivation in the laboratory frame based on waves scattered by a statistical aggregate of recoil electrons is developed in this paper, providing a bridge between microscopic events and macroscopic observation, and implications of coexisting wave and particle model derivations of the Compton effect are discussed. The parallel derivations based on contrasting models can also furnish an instructive exercise for students.
Picture of an essential singularity53(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.14275View Description Hide Description
The structure of an essential singularity is described in terms of concepts, such as multipole moments and phasors, familiar to students of physics and electrical engineering. This is illustrated with the exponential, trigonometric, and gamma functions, using the transformation z=1/w to transform the point at infinity to the origin. It is shown that the familiar property of rational functions—that their properties are determined by the positions of their poles and zeros—can be extended to transcendental functions.
Vortex flow and maximum principles53(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.14276View Description Hide Description
Maximum principles of partial differential equations can give information on general properties of vortices and vorticity fields and the corresponding pressure and temperature fields independently of the solutions proper. They also reveal fundamental differences between two‐ and three‐dimensional motions and peculiar flow properties in limiting cases: In steady two‐dimensional viscousflows a maximum principle for the vorticity‐transport equation exists and its consequences are discussed. Steady concentrated vortices with an extremum of vorticity occur only in the three‐dimensional nonlinear case, and in linear slow motion vortices exhibit peculiar properties. In unsteady flows local extrema of vorticity are possible, even in two‐dimensional flows. In all cases studied, the Navier–Stokes equation in the form of the vorticity‐transport equation is used as the basic equation for incompressible homogeneous fluid flows.
Old quantum mechanics and perturbation theory53(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.14277View Description Hide Description
Two physical systems—the particle in a double rectangular well and the anharmonic oscillator—are treated in the Bohr–Sommerfeld–Wilson semiclassical theory. The results agree with the Van Vleck perturbation theory.
Fourth component of relativistic forces53(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.14278View Description Hide Description
The Lorentz scalar interaction gives rise to a fourth component of the relativistic four‐force which has a different form than that of the vector interaction, the difference arising from the variable mass for particles interacting through the scalar potential as compared to the constant mass for particles interacting through the vector potential. The Lorentz scalar potential, with its pedagogically interesting dynamics, is rarely mentioned in intermediate‐level or first‐year, graduate‐level textbooks.
Simple laboratory demonstration of the Doppler shift of laser light53(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.14279View Description Hide Description
The edge of a smoothly rotating turntable was used as a reflecting surface in a Michelson interferometer configuration to demonstrate the Doppler effect on laser light. Attached to the edge of the turntable was reflective tape which greatly enhanced the backscattered light. Spectrumanalysis of the detected signal indicated that all of the signal and noise components were contained in a frequency range of about 15% of the central Doppler frequency. As a quantitative test of the method, the wavelength of the laser source, known to be 633 nm, was measured to be (612±43) nm using an oscilloscope as the output device and (634±12) nm using a spectrum analyzer for the output. All components that were used with the exception of the spectrum analyzer are commonly available items. The techniques described in this paper provide a quantitative demonstration of the Doppler effect of light and overcome the usual problems caused by motional instabilities associated with the moving mirror.
Measuring the active gravitational mass of a moving object53(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.14280View Description Hide Description
If a heavy object with rest mass M moves past you with a velocity comparable to the speed of light, you will be attracted gravitationally towards its path as though it had an increased mass. If the relativistic increase in active gravitational mass is measured by the transverse (and longitudinal) velocities which such a moving mass induces in test particles initially at rest near its path, then we find, with this definition, that M rel=γ(1+β2)M. Therefore, in the ultrarelativistic limit, the active gravitational mass of a moving body, measured in this way, is not γM but is approximately 2γM.
Simple examples of correlations in error propagation53(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.14281View Description Hide Description
This paper offers two simple examples of pairs of variables which are correlated, and whose covariance is easily evaluated. Examples are given of error propagation in which these correlations play an important role.
Energy balance in the superposition of light waves with lossless beam splitters53(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.14282View Description Hide Description
The energy balance in the superposition of light waves with a lossless beam splitter is analyzed along with its connection with some general relations between the parameters describing beam‐splitter effects on the two incoming waves. These general relations are derived either from the electromagnetic theory or from energy conservation considerations. The apparent paradox of a symmetric beam splitter producing complementary outputs is explained.
Galloping waves and their relativistic properties53(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.14283View Description Hide Description
The superposition and resulting interference of two oppositely moving waves generally yield a wave having nonuniform motion. Space‐time plots of constant‐phase points provide a convenient way to exhibit a range of different types of wave phenomena including the relationship between moving and standing waves. Doppler‐shifted versions of the same plots provide a novel approach to Minkowski graphs and Lorentz transformations. Relativistic properties of interfering electromagnetic plane waves are discussed.

SCORPIUS! WHAT HAPPENED?! Man, well written. I'm nearly as nervous about his condition as Lily is, and I sure hope that she's having a major realization right now - first that she has job options, and second that she really, really cares about Scorpius!
Author's Response: Lily definitely has a lot to think about. Hopefully the server migration doesn't take much longer and I can update. Thank you for your thoughts again, hope to see more in the future. :)
Hit by a bus?
Author's Response: I don't know what it says about me as a person that thinking of Draco's reaction to Scorpius being hit by a bus full of Muggles makes me laugh a little. Thank you for continuing to read.
Loved this chapter. I do love Rose and Scorpius stories. I don't know why. I guess it was like they were meant to be. I know that panicky feeling when you know what someone is going to say and you don't want them to say it.
Author's Response: Terrible feeling. Glad you loved the chapter. :)
I guess I missed the part that said she'd had that bracelet for a long time. It sounded beautiful. That was very poignant. I have this diamond turtle pendant that I wore all the time for a couple of years. Twice the silver chain broke and I became afraid that the next time I could lose the turtle. I haven't worn that turtle for a couple of years now. I wish I could find a break proof chain. Write more soon.
Author's Response: He gave it to her when she was 17, so around 6 years. I am always afraid of wearing my favourite jewelry for the same reason, all the chains are so delicate. Thanks for reading/reviewing!
A pleasure to read.
Author's Response: Thank you :) happy you are enjoying it!
I've just read all five chapters and I have to tell you that your writing is amazing. Truly. The flashbacks are relevant and interesting and add depth, your characters are interesting and complex, I love where this story is headed, and again, the actual writing, the grammar and dialogue, is all so good. Please keep writing!
Author's Response: This is awesome. Thank you so much, glad you are enjoying it. I just posted a new chapter, hope you like it!
This is such a fantastic story. Your prose is beautiful, your characterization is rich, and the pace is perfect. I care about Lily, I'm a bit disgusted by Frank, and I'm completely charmed by Scorpius. He reminds me a lot of a guy I went to college with - smart, insightful, not what you expect, courteous, but with something in his past that holds him just a bit aloof. I really like the growing friendship here, and I hope that Lily is able to trust him and find her own self-worth at the same time. Very eagerly looking forward to the next chapter(s).
Author's Response: Thank you very much for your kind review. I am glad you are enjoying the pacing, as it is something I am usually fretting over. I hope you continue to enjoy the story, and if only we all could go to college with Scorpius Malfoy. :)
So Hannah did die. Scorpius seems truthful and pleasant to be with. That probably makes him easy to talk to. His interest in Muggle things sure seems odd though. Please update soon.
No, I don't think you're weird for writing this. I really like this story. I wonder if you'll tell us more about the current-day Malfoys. I'd like to know how you picture them.
Frank really has a lot of nerve. If he broke up with her he has no business following her around.
I like stories with Scorpius in them. He can be with Rose or Lily--I don't care--as long as he's with one of them. It almost sounds like Hannah and Alice passed away, or left.
This looks like a great story. I really like it so far. Too bad it takes you forever to update. I'll start this anyway I guess and just be happy to read when you update.
Author's Response: Ack, sorry I am a slow updater. I promise, though, that I will finish it! Hope you enjoy the new chapter.
Great new chapter! It's nice to see Lilly growing.
Author's Response: Thanks so much :) I hope you enjoy the new chapter, too, it is up now!
I do not think I have come across this story before. What a great piece of story telling. I hoe you get it finished so we can all finish the day with a smile on our faces.
Author's Response: Thank you for your review. I hope you enjoy the new chapter. I know I am not the quickest at updating, but I WILL finish the story, for sure. :)
I'm glad you returned to this, and I hope it continues. I'm really enjoying this story.
Author's Response: Yay! Thank you and I am glad you are enjoying. New chapter in queue. Let me know what you think! :)
Well that took a grim turn at the end. But I absolutely love your writing; it's rapturous.
I don't think you're weird for writing this. I like the story so far. I wish Lily would be happier but some people just don't have it in them. I like your characters though. I'm beginning to think that Lily should be happy to be rid of Frank. He sounds like a depressed personality. Maybe he was upsetting Lily and making her sad.
Author's Response: Thank you, I love hearing your thoughts. Lily, I think, has a lot of insecurities that she has yet to work through. New chapter in queue, I hope you continue reading and sharing your thoughts! :)
I don't think I'd like to hear what Frank just said if I were Lily. Then the question is, if someone is so hard to love why would we even try. There are so many others out there. I don't think I've ever said that to someone. If they were hard to love I'd just let them go. That doesn't mean I'm right though.
I really liked this chapter but I think I missed something important. I didn't understand the end from "Frank was conspicuously . . ." on down. It sounds like someone died. I can give guesses on who that might be but I really don't know. I was confused.
Author's Response: Sorry there was some confusion. New chapter should clear it up. Hope you enjoy. :)
I really like next generation stories. I loved this first chapter. I hope you update regularly. I'm enjoying your Scorpius and Lily.

"Loyalty at all costs"
Film Synopsis:
Action superstar Chow Yun-Fat portrays gangster Cheng Daqi as he rises to the upper echelons of power, finding himself torn between the love of two women, the murderous plots of the secret service, and the looming threat of war that may destroy the entire city.
My Take:
Innocence and young love are shattered by circumstance, wrongful imprisonment, murder, and escape. Set in Shanghais Gangster era of the early 1900s, The Last Tycoon tells the tale of Cheng (Chow Yun-Fat), a young man who is set up by the chief of police (Sammo Hung) and must leave the life he knows and Zhiqiu, the woman he loves, to start again, escaping prison and fleeing to Shanghai. Cheng quickly and violently moves his way up the ladder of Shanghais criminal underworld to become on the most powerful mob bosses in the city's history. But fame and notoriety take their toll when Cheng finds himself stuck between the looming Japanese army and the scheming local secret service. Matters are only made worse when he bumps into the love of his life Zhiqiu, along with her writer husband who carries secrets of his own. Will love re-kindle in the dusk of an era?
I thoroughly enjoyed The Last Tycoon and found its story (loosely inspired by the life of Du Yuesheng, a prominent triad boss in Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s) of the rise and fall of gangster Cheng Daqi to be well rounded and entertaining. There are elements of action and the criminal underworld etc. that predominate the narrative but at its heart it's a romance. It's a beautifully shot film that harkens back to early 1900's and pre World War II era China. I appreciated the development of the Cheng Daqi's character that is played by both Chow Yun Fat (older), and Huang Xiaoming (younger). Each lends an air of charisma and credibility to the role in an almost interchangeable/seamless fashion. As with Cheng Daqi the older and younger roles of the two central female characters are handled by two actresses. Each is stunning and capable however I was particularly drawn in by Monica Mok and Yolanda Yuan who are not only beautiful but gave sterling performances in support.
The last tycoon turned out to be much better than expected as it is a multi-genre that expertly blends romantic themes with enriching elements of action/crime that revolve around well drawn characters that are easy to care about. While I generally find film's such as this can be hit or miss I am always pleased when one comes along that I consider worthy of adding to my collection. This one easily qualifies…

The last tycoon comes to Blu-ray Disc from Well Go USA featuring 1080p AVC encoded video that has an average bitrate of 31 Mbps and lossless DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio sound that has an average bitrate of 3.6 Mbps.
This is a reference quality Blu-ray offering from Well Go USA that looks terrific in high definition. The video is razor sharp with a slightly edgy but otherwise pristine quality that is visually pleasing. Detail rendering is nearly flawless with lucid visual acuity and fine articulation that brings forth lots of subtle detail in the images onscreen. Colors are rich and delineated with oversaturated primaries and warm tonality that make them pop nicely. The palette of secondary hues that represent the period colors featured in the story, appear vivid and warm. Flesh tones are natural with varying degrees of complexional separation among the cast. Boldly applied contrast and consistent black levels provide excellent balance during bright scenes containing mixed content. Shadow detail is strong which brings out plenty of discernible texture in low/uneven lighting and dark backgrounds. The CGI based and green screen photography softened some shots but its effects are innate and fidelity remained unaffected.
The high resolution DTS-HD MA surround mix comes in both Mandarin and English dubbed flavors (I opted for the former) and delivers the soundtrack's elements with aplomb. The higher fidelity inherent in this lossless audio presentation is readily apparent. Dynamic range is noteworthy which renders the film's war/action based sequences with defining impact and energy. Dialogue is presented with crystal clear intonation, full bodied texture, and deep room penetration. Qigang Chen's music score as well as the beautiful church chorals sound airy, clear and warm. Imaging across the front soundstage is excellent as sounds are integrated with precision. This is an involving surround mix that intelligently utilizes the entire system where appropriate. During the extended Japanese bombing raid sequence the listening position is actively engaged by a mixture of spatial and discretely placed sound effects that place the listener in the heart of the action. Low frequency detail is clean, well articulated and deep as points of contact resonate with palpable impact. This isn't a bombastic or overly aggressive soundtrack but its blend of intricate detail and room filling dynamics make for a first rate home theater experience.
* CIH users should note that the subtitles appear within the picture area.*
Bonus Features:
- (HD) The making of The Last Tycoon – 11 minute featurette
- (HD) Trailer
Final Thoughts:
Loosely inspired by the life of Du Yuesheng, a prominent triad boss in Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s, The last tycoon is a well crafted and executed multi-genre film that features solid casting and apt direction in the hands of director Wong Jing. It comes to Blu-ray from Well Go USA and features top flight high definition audio/video and a noticeably light supplemental package that consists only of a making of documentary and trailer. Turning out to be better than expected The last tycoon on Blu-ray is well worth your time and is highly recommended viewing.
Here is the trailer. It is in Chinese but you can get the gist:

I too am a huge Yun Fat fan, and thanks for reviewing this movie. I will definitely give it a viewing once it's available.
If you like this movie, you should definitely check out his earlier works from the 80s and 90s. Definitely some of the finest Asian cinemas by Yun Fat.

Normally I stayed away from WWII stuff but I enjoyed this one, especially the two theme songs from the movie. It has gorgeous video and audio quality to showcase the state of art in home theater.

PO Box 2441 Johnson City TN 37605 USA
Good Samaritan Ministries is a non-profit, ecumenical organization of people helping people founded in 1985. Relying on donations, Good Samaritan Ministries believes that our community can find resources of time, money, goods, and volunteer services. Recognizing the dignity and importance of each person, the Good Samaritan staff works with each individual on long-term solutions. In terms of financial aid, Good Samaritan Ministries helps provide funds for rent, utilities, prescriptions, and other basic needs. We have a food pantry in which food is provided as needed. Another aspect of our ministry is The Shepherd''s Lunch, which provides a hot noontime meal to the homeless, low-income, and elderly. The Shepherd''s Lunch is housed at Munsey Memorial United Methodist Church and is directly across from a former hotel that now houses disabled and low-income individuals. When the program was started we did not know how many lives would be impacted by the program being located in the current facility.
Geographic areas served:
Washington, Carter, Sullivan, Unicoi, Greene, and Johnson Counties
There are two major branches of Good Samaritan Ministries. The main office, which oversees all programs The Shepherd's Lunch. The main office of Good Samaritan Ministries handles the financial aspects of assisting clients with emergency and immediate assistance such as food, rent, utilities, and prescriptions.

Good Samaritan Ministries provides assistance to the poor through food, rent assist, and counseling to help them improve their situation in the long term. Each client is interviewed by a qualified, degrees Social Worker. To prevent duplication of services every interview is documented through Charity Check, an internet based service used by other non-profit agencies and churches. In Fiscal Year 2014, Good Samaritan Ministries did over $4.6 million in benevolence with only 3.8 percent going to operational expense, that is 96.2% in benefits going to the clients need assistance.

New life is born at Samaritan Ministry. Some years ago, a group of churches in the Greater Washington Area…now 45 parishes…came together out of a common concern: The jobless, homeless, hungry who knocked on their doors seeking help, needed more than a handout. They needed a hand up to break out of the cycle of poverty, the hopelessness that engulfed them. Out of their common concern, Samaritan Ministry of Greater Washington came to be. At Samaritan Ministry not only is their immediate need addressed, they also are introduced to Next Steps and a path to life.
Next Steps is a unique self-help program for participants in need, promoting change, dignity, and self-reliance by assisting in accomplishing their goals. Goals involve employment, housing, family life, and medical or addiction issues. At the Samaritan Offices in Northwest and Southeast D.C. and Arlington, VA, program participants receive counseling, develop job skills, construct resumes, practice interviews, are helped with business attire and in finding housing. While these supports are essential to making the transition to a new life, perhaps even more important is the counseling and support participants receive from skilled caseworkers in self-reliance and their responsibility for changing. Participants' testimony about Next Steps and transitioning to a new life truly reflects that a new life is born.

I took the service club that I advise at the high school where I teach to volunteer at Good Samaritan in Johnson City, TN. Our help was welcomed and the staff arranged a project for us that high school students could complete in an afternoon. Will gave us a tour of the facility and explained the various services offered. It was a good trip and we plan to return to volunteer in the future.

I have seen up close the work of Good Samaritan Ministries (GSM). They provide a multi-faceted ministry for those who are on the edge or who have fallen off the edge financialy. And in other ways as well such as health, food, medical and dental care. GSM is an agency of kind people who take great measures to share with those who have little to sustain themselves. For example, GSM provides help in paying rent and other housing costs, provide help with utilities costs, offer fod to the hungry through feeding programs daily with hot cooked meals as well as supplemental food boxes each month to those who can afford to purchase some food. The GSM also has facilities for the homeless to take showers every day, to stay clothed in clean and new clothing and to get/stay dry. The staff sees their clients as Jesus or the people whom Jesus helped when he walked the earth. Kindness and love are evident throughout the day every day.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
many ways, by heloing feed the people who come to the Melting Pot daily feeding program, by assisting the diners who come to the Thanksgiving meal in November, but delivering meal to those who cannt get to feeding programs and by filling monthly food boxe
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Get access to the United Way and other funding sources so the GSM could do more to meet the needs of the community and pay some endebtedness that the ministry has. GSM never has enough to meet the needs of all who come to the door. The staff feels quilt
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
seeing the changes in people's lives, the expressions on their faces when they find that they can quit being hungry, when they caqn clean up, when they have dry socks and shoes wo wear.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
wondeful, caring, sad when we canot do enough, guilty when we have to turn people away who have desperate needs
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
be multiplied a thousandfold through the ministires turning people's lives around and allowing some to g back to work but it can also support longer those who are "the least of these" who cannot get $$ be safe and warm
Ways to make it better...
GSM had more funding to get more food, to hire more staff, to fuel the van to retrieve the furniture and other items for the thrift store so people can get more free and low cost furniture, clothing, tioletries, etc.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
keeping the income coming so the aid can keep going, in these tight ecinomic times the funding sources and supplies for thsoe in need are becoming more scarce and difficult to get.
One thing I'd also say is that...
GSM is in a constant struggle to meet the needs of those for whom life is a constant struggle due to various factors which keep them among the least. They will always be this way and be with us. We are told to care for them

New Infiniti QX30 Looks Cool But Can You See Out?
Infiniti says the all-new 2017 QX30 was created to make a bold visual statement.
Infiniti says the all-new 2017 QX30 was created to make a bold visual statement.
According to the luxury brand of Nissan, the remodeled Infiniti QX60 has the interior flexibility and roominess, safety, and advanced hospitality features buyers are looking for. Did they succeed?
The newly-redesigned 2016 Q60 is lower and wider than it was before. Its new design language is in line with the updates made for the Q50 sedan with strong lines along the hood and body.
Coming as 2017 models, the new Infiniti QX30 line of premium active crossovers will enter the United States and Canadian markets in three forms.
This is the most advanced engine that Infiniti has ever offered. It includes technology derived from the company's Formula One racing heritage and its advanced engineering department.
The 2016 Infiniti Q50 sedan looks a great deal like the 2015 model, but there is a big difference under the hood.
Nissan's Infiniti racing team is splitting off from long-time partner Red Bull Racing.
A recent test of the 3-row premium QX60 crossover from Infiniti left us impressed. Like all the competitors in the segment, the Infiniti makes us wonder why anyone needs a full-size SUV anymore.
The Infiniti Q30 is the latest from Nissan's luxury brand.
It's no secret that sales for the Infiniti brand have been slow.
The 2015 Infiniti Performance Engineering Academy has selected five global winners from engineering students around the world competing for a spot in this year's internship program for Infiniti pro
We're seeing rumors, once again, that Infiniti is working on a four-door sedan that utilizes the Nissan GT-R's underpinnings.
For the 2016 model year, Infiniti is making several changes to their line of luxury automobiles.

The Infiniti QX80 sport utility vehicle is not new to award winning, but this latest award from J.D. Power may be the most fitting yet.

Hey guys, I was wondering when you guys can double tongue well, and by well I mean faster than single tongue.
high school
What is double tongue?
after college/university
Hey guys, I was wondering when you guys can double tongue well, and by well I mean faster than single tongue.
I learned how to double tongue at 3 in the morning at one of Spirits Rehersals. It was very hard for me (I was playing contrabass at the time). But after doing it everyday for 3 months I got the hang off it. When I got home I quickly transfered it to the trumpet. And ever since it has be apart of my warm-ups.
King Model 601 (my favorite horn so far)
Vincent Bach 3c and 5c
Spirit Drum and Bugle Corps 08, 09
Choctawhatchee Stylemarchers 07,08
i learned freshman year in hs as it was a requirement for our marching show.
super collegiate tri-tone (raw brass)
I'm in Grade 11, been playing since start of Grade 10. Only just started working on doubletonguing recently.
Right now, I'm in grade 9, and my double tongue is slower than my single tongue:( Is that under or over average?
Sometime toward the start of 7th grade. My 2 friends and I started working up Bugler's Holiday for competition.
Stop acting like someone shot your dog.
Making a comeback after 9yrs, one step at a time!
Wild Thing Bb, Benge Claude Gordon Bb, Yamaha 635ST flugel, Selmer 900 TT C trumpet (possibly for sale - PM me)
I actually learned triple tounging first in 7th grade so that would be middle school, but since that wasn't a choice in the poll I selected high school.

--Ludwig van Beethoven
Music is God's best gift to man. The only art of heaven given to earth, the only art of earth we take to heaven.
--Letitia Elizabeth Landon
I am in the same boat as Firestas, I learned in about the 7th grade to triple tongue which was before I learned to double tongue. Therefore, I marked high school.
I learned plenty earlier than high school. Happen to have a teacher who busted my butt on multiple tounging once he found out I was doing well on everything else. All it takes is practice. I've recently gone back and worked up my single tounging so I don't have the annoying gap where something it to slow to double tounge but to fast to single tounge. I'm pretty consistent playing 16th notes at 136 or so. Double tounging is the same way. start slow and work towards getting faster. Really work on your "k" tounge though. It's not worth having the speed if it sounds bad or is uneven. It'll come with time and hard work. good luck!

Chipset design flaw to cost Intel $700m
Intel expects to spend $700m (£437m) repairing and replacing a design flaw discovered in its Intel 6 series chipset, code-named Cougar Point

Intel expects to spend $700m (£437m) repairing and replacing a design flaw discovered in its Intel 6 series chipset, code-named Cougar Point.
The company said in a statement it has implemented a silicon fix and will roll-out updated versions of the chipset to customers in late February. Intel anticipated "relatively few" customers will be affected.

But Intel was forced to lower its sales forecast by $300m (£187m) for the first quarter of 2011 as the company stopped shipments and began manufacturing the new version.
The chipset is utilised in PCs with Intel's latest Second Generation Intel Core processors, code-named Sandy Bridge. However, the Sandy Bridge microprocessor is unaffected.
"In some cases, the Serial-ATA (SATA) ports within the chipsets may degrade over time, potentially impacting the performance or functionality of SATA-linked devices such as hard disk drives and DVD-drives," the statement said.
Intel said it is working with partners to ensure computer makers and other Intel customers with affected chipsets or systems receive replacements needed on motherboards or systems.

AKQGuy's blog
The Ansley is finished. 'Bout time.
I know, a month was a bit of overkill for a single sweater but in reality, it was only about three weeks. You see, I got the actual knitting done the day I returned to work, but I didn't do the seaming until the day after Christmas. Why you may ask? Because I despise sewing in all forms. Quite literally. Just not a fan. My mother did teach me how to sew when I was a kid, and I am able to sew when the need is there, but it lacks any form of enjoyment for me and therefore I do not wish my presence as I seam on my coworkers. So, I finally did the dang sewing, and this is where it lead me.
A Joyful Holiday
Please ignore the screeched curses from the kitchen and the banging of pots and pans as I pretend to be calm about tomorrow's dinner. Instead listen to the true intent I hope my voice has as I tell you all to have a wonderful holiday, regardless of whichever holiday you may celebrate with the returning of the sun's light. And I pray that you are more prepared than I am, despite my fervent prayers, wishes and promises to myself that next time, I will do better. I don't think Bob belives me that the quiet mumblings to myself are Christmas Carols like I told him.
So, so close...
A Lull as the Sweater Never Ends
Reindeer? How about a Moose. Eat that Santa
No, really, you can eat it.
Well, to be honest, I wanted a Christmas tree cookie cutter, but no luck. So ended up with a star, a snowflake, and a moose. Yeah, you read that right, a moose. Everyone loves a good moose. Oh wait... that's supposed to be everyone loves a good goose. As long as it doesn't come from the dog when your in compromising positions that is.
