Sonata No 1 Trombone Quartet Ensemble
601 words
On the evening of November 11, 1999, the Southwest
Texas Trombone Ensemble provided an apprehensive
crowd with a truly wonderful performance. Starting
with Sonata No. 1 for Trombone Choir by Evan
Copley, the ensemble exhibited fabulous variety in
both the note and the speed in which they were
playing. This skill mindfully produced a range of
emotions, including anxiety and uneasiness.
Charles R. Hurt, the conductor of the ensemble,
skillfully piloted the ensemble in formulating an
eerie feeling....

There's nothing worst than when a machine that you
depend on so much, just decides it doesn't want to
work anymore. If you run a business and your
computer stops working, most of the time you do
too. If this happens, your problems could range
from small, something you can handle yourself, or
they can be very big. In this case a professional
can help. To help reduce the cost, identify the
problem before you have it serviced if you can.

Accepted Standard U S Layout

The Dvorak keyboard layout has been slow to catch
on due to lack of scientifically conclusive
evidence that it is superior to the QWERTY
sequence. The majority of positive test results
seem to come from Dvorak himself, who had a
financial and intellectual investment in his
patent. Ergonomic studies did not support his
superior claim for the layout. Tests done by the
Department of the Navy were positive, but
considering that Dvorak was also a Naval Officer,
it is no wonder that endorsement was pr...

chemicals identified in the plant, 70 are
cannabinoids (chemicals found only in the
marijuana plant and nowhere else in nature).

Quality Of Life Passive Euthanasia

Taking a persons life is a serious matter. Some
people think that a person who is in great pain
should be made to suffer through it. People with
serious illnesses, however, should be able to
decide if they want to live through the pain of a
slow agonizing death or die a quick, painless
death. Euthanasia should not be deemed a crime. If
a person is in great pain and is going to die
soon, that person should have the right to die
without enduring pain if he / she chooses to. We
could keep people al...

Senior Citizens Young Drivers

People look at me and think I am a terrible driver
just because I am young. However the reality is I
am a fine driver. It is a common misconception
that teenagers are "bad" drivers; in my experience
I have found that it's not only teenagers that are
terrible drivers. I think people point to
teenagers only because they need a collection of
drivers to blame and they choose the beginners.
When I look at senior citizens, young drivers

Older People Judge People
1,048 words
As I was thinking about the outline for this essay
I asked myself if I was really a person to invoke
a certain prejudice to certain types of people?
And If I was, was it because I had personally
acquired this sort of profiling through past
experiences, or was it acquired through today's
popular media? Though I do not see myself as a
hateful person, I have found that I do, unfairly,
judge people by their age, sex and race. Racial
profiling is common in today's society, from
popular comedians to m...

Coy Mistress Writing Process

Few would argue that on the surface level of
Marvel's "To His Coy Mistress" the speaker is a
lover advancing a conventional 'carpe diem' line
of thought. He systematically reasons with his
desired object about the futility of delaying
their interlude when the hours available to them
are limited, but the lyric may simultaneously
function as a metaphor for Marvel's endeavors as a
metaphysical poet. Metaphysical writers view
poetry as an intellectual exercise, an opportunity

When you first read Richard Snyder's narrative
poem, 'A Mongoloid Child Handling Shells on the
Beach', it may be perceived that the poem is
indeed about a child, happily gathering shells
upon the shore. However, if we closely consider
the diction and connotations that Snyder uses, we
can speculate that the meaning of the poem depicts
a deeper and darker theme. The title itself gives
us an idea from the beginning. The word Mongoloid,
