Any drum corps dvds I know have multiple angles. Sometimes you want the high cam so you can see the formations and sometimes you want the more detailed stuff. There are usually cameras that focus on certain sections of the ensemble so you can just stay in with one of them.

You can guess my nationality because people are struggling to live good lives in this country because of race - or is it really economics?
Whatever the case is, I just want people to care about each other. You can't legislate caring, but it's just something I try to promote.
Language is a powerful tool. When you use racial or gender metaphores like "maiden voyage", you put people down. But you can always use language to improve people's lives. Strive for it!

* Gold can be made into thread and used in embroidery.
* Gold performs critical functions in computers, communications equipment, spacecraft, jet aircraft engines, and a host of other products.
* The high electrical conductivity and resistance to oxidation of gold has led to its widespread use as thin layers electroplated on the surface of electrical connectors to ensure a good, low-resistance connection.
* Gold is used in restorative dentistry especially in tooth restorations such as crowns and bridges.
* Colloidal gold (a gold nanoparticle) is an intensely colored solution that is currently studied in many labs for medical, biological and other applications. It is also the form used as gold paint on ceramics prior to firing.
* Chlorauric acid is used in photography for toning the silver image.
* Disodium aurothiomalate is a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (administered intramuscularly).
* The gold isotope Au-198, (half-life: 2.7 days) is used in some cancer treatments and for treating other diseases.
* Gold is used as a coating enabling biological material to be viewed under a scanning electron microscope.
* Many competitions and honors, such as the Olympics and the Nobel Prize, award a gold medal to the winner (with silver to the second-place finisher, and bronze to the third.)
* Since it is a good reflector of both infrared and visible light, it is used for the protective coatings on many artificial satellites.
* Gold flake is used on and in some gourmet sweets and drinks. Having no reactivity it adds no taste but is taken as a delicacy.
* White gold (an alloy of gold with platinum, palladium, nickel, and/or zinc) serves as a substitute for platinum.
* Green gold (a gold/silver alloy) is used in specialized jewelry while gold alloys with copper (reddish color) are more widely used for that purpose.
For some reason a cappella choir has preserved the beauty of the human voice mixed with modern, interesting, entertaining repertoire, with more than a thread of sophistication.
I don't know why the rest of the musical world insists on being so stuck up and bass-ackwards. It's fun to hear something really old every once and a while, but never before in the history of western music has the arts community been so obsessed with OLD MUSIC.
The moral of the story is, go to a cappella performances - they're great!
When you type on your keyboard it doesn't matter how hard or soft you hit the keys. The number of keys needed to perform some obscure command rarely exceeds 3.
When you play the piano, it matters how hard or soft you hit the keys. Often the keys are played 6+ at one time; also figure in that certain keys want to be played louder than others when striking the chords. There is also a sustain pedal involved.
The most challenging skill is to "hear with your eyes." You can't look at music and push the right buttons at the right time - you need to look at music, hear what it sounds like in your imagination, and then play what you hear.
It is a life's work to master any musical instrument. The hardest part about piano is that the musician is so distanced from the method of tone production. It's easy to make any sound at all, but it's very hard to make a particular sound that you imagine.
He likes to play the Mario theme at about 116 beats per minute. In my head I hear the original Mario theme at around 98 beats per minute... correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel he takes things a bit fast.
There is a long standing tradition of rubato in music - you take some time away from some beats and give it to others - a musical jenga of sorts. It was very popular in older times and has been lost in the modern age of cool-clean recording perfection.
I don't think the rubato is out of place for an acoustic interpretation of the Mario theme, however I also do not feel that this performer executes it with finesse.
No instrument is specified in 4'33". However, the one time I heard it performed, piano was the instrument of choice.
Of course, in its final iteration, 4'33" was extended to fill an infinite amount of time. Thus, all sounds you ever hear are musical and beautiful! And also copyright to John Cage.
Actually, firefox fails my test - try opening a bad link into a new tab. The popup dialog will interrupt you in your current tab.

that all the robot's voices are flattened by the same amount, only special people who have excellent pitch would be bothered, and then only if they were aware of the original key of the piece, or if the piece made typical or extreme use of voice range and sounded unconventional, or if there was an accompaniment in the original key.
I was disappointed with garageband on my 866mhz g4 powerbook - it could only handle four or so (live audio) tracks before getting bogged down. Motu digital performer runs like a champ - 16 tracks at a time and it doesn't bat an eye. Now THAT's performance.
In NYS, the department of education gives me 3 years to get my masters degree after applying for provisional certification. Oh, and I can apply for 4th year if I complete 75% of the coursework in the first 3 years.
Yes, getting a masters degree is a good idea -- eventually.
No, getting the masters right away while trying to get started is NOT improving the quality of education in this state.
Oh well - as usual, the students, and thus society, pay the highest price.
This issue plagued, nay paralyzed me in my philosophy class. How do we really know that logic is... true?
My professor said that since logic has consistently proved itself in nature over the years, it's a decent branch of philosophy worth studying and trusting.
I suppose that will have to do, but I would have been happier spending the entire class on this one issue. If the foundation is not strong or trustable then the rest is not worthwhile!
I run cat5e out my window to the basement. It was a shortcut.
One day during a storm, the static charge in the air killed all of the 3com cards on the network. All of the intel cards survived.
The cable is still there and now all the cards are intel. But, I still wouldn't recommend it. I wouldn't do it again but I don't plan on living home much longer so it stays.
If you're going to run cable outside, I recommend optical.

For some reason this all sounds too good to be true. I could never imagine this stuff actually happening, politically.
I think that's sad.
Any drum corps dvds I know have multiple angles. Sometimes you want the high cam so you can see the formations and sometimes you want the more detailed stuff. There are usually cameras that focus on certain sections of the ensemble so you can just stay in with one of them.
Yes, it's that important!
They're directory file listings, when did Linux start supporting only ls? Why not call them riverlists, or zenlists?

anyone know of a recording?

I actually started to make my own 'podcast' but I thought it was too boring for anyone to listen to so I never released it.
Can anyone recommend some good podcasts? Are there any big popular podcasters that many people like?
What ever happened to "Geeks in Space: Slashdot Radio"? Wasn' that a 'podcast'?

sorry... nerds to the rescue.
I use the command keys so much that I actually bought an apple keyboard for my powerbook (as opposed to the ms keyboard I was using).
It's definitly a point worth noting.

It's probably hopeless, this is on page 8... but, excellent idea!

And you even branded it well.. good job

I know this is off the beaten path, but...
any poetry by Octavio Paz, translated into your native language if you don't speak Spanish.
I just love his stuff.
Here's a sample:
Between going and staying the day wavers,
in love with its own transparency.
The circular afternoon is now a bay
where the world in stillness rocks.
All is visible and all elusive,
all is near and can't be touched.
Paper, book, pencil, glass,
rest in the shade of their names.
Time throbbing in my temples repeats
the same unchanging syllable of blood.
The light turns the indifferent wall
into a ghostly theater of reflections.
I find myself in the middle of an eye,
watching myself in its blank stare.
The moment scatters. Motionless,
I stay and go: I am a pause.
