Tired of fighting the strongest muscle in the body? The Isolite mouthpiece has built-in, flexible tongue and cheek protection. The tongue retractor and cheek shield are specifically designed to create both a perceived and actual safe-zone for the patient’s tongue. Now you can work behind the most posterior maxillary molar without injuring the cheek or fighting the tongue.

5.) Do some playing on all registers, from lyrical to rapid staccato, using various dynamic levels.

Repeat the examples several times, then play them using your own reed and mouthpiece.

Now try a new reed and mouthpiece again.

Many players like to record this test, which allows them to “stand back and listen.” Some prefer to have one or more musician-friends listen as each mouthpiece is played. If you use these “judges,” be sure that they cannot see which mouthpiece is being played. Listen with your ears, not with your eyes.

Be patient. Mouthpiece testing takes time.

Finally, how does the new mouthpiece feel to you? To make the right decision you must like the way it sounds and the way it feels.
On brass instruments the mouthpiece is the part of the instrument which is placed upon the player’s lips. The purpose of the mouthpiece is a resonator, which passes vibration from the lips to the column of air contained within the instrument, giving rise to the standing wave pattern of vibration in the air column. Mouthpieces consist of a simple circular opening which leads, via a semi-spherical or conical cavity, to the main body of the instrument.
The Isolite mouthpiece integrates continuous anterior and posterior, sublingual and buccal vestibule aspiration.
Flexible Isthmus
The unique Isthmus design of the Isolite mouthpiece provides a non-impinging seal, enabling you to illuminate and aspirate the mouth from deep within the oral cavity.

Linda Cohn teased features on LeBron James, Roger Clemens and Joe Torre, but not a single word about Game One of the Stanley Cup Finals.

If it doesn’t happen on ESPN, it just doesn’t happen. But you knew that already.

UPDATE: ESPN just mentioned hockey in the latest tease after the Jazz-Spurs playoff game.

Religious fundamentalism is not an exclusive trait of Islam, as the Pope would have you believe.

Speaking in tongues, weeping for salvation, praying for an end to abortion and worshipping a picture of President Bush — these are some of the activities at Pastor Becky Fischer’s Bible camp in North Dakota, “Kids on Fire,” subject of the provocative new documentary, “Jesus Camp.”

“I want to see them as radically laying down their lives for the gospel as they are in Palestine, Pakistan and all those different places,” Fisher said. “Because, excuse me, we have the truth.”

“A lot of people die for God,” one camper said, “and they’re not afraid.”

“We’re kinda being trained to be warriors,” said another, “only in a funner way.”

The film has caused a split among evangelicals. Some say it’s designed to demonize. Others have embraced it, including Fischer, who’s helping promote the film.

“I never felt at any point that I was exploited,” Fischer said.

“I think there is a push right now in a lot of evangelical churches to definitely keep the teenagers and keep the children in the faith,” said Heidi Ewing, co-director of “Jesus Camp.” “And this is one version of that attempt.”

It will be interesting to see how these kids turn out. Will they be the future leaders of this country?

Zune Bloom

September 14, 2006 @ 3:27 pm - Filed under Geek

No words are necessary.

Well, it looks pretty damn good. Now, for some details.

The Zune, manufactured by Japanese electronics maker Toshiba Corp., will come with a 3-inch (7.6 centimeter) liquid crystal display screen and wireless connectivity that allows users to send, receive photos, songs and albums with nearby players, Microsoft said.

Zune users who receive songs can listen to each one three times over three days before having to purchase it themselves, The Associated Press reported.
Stanley Cup Finals Game One Snapshots

* First, check out the NHL Fan House live blog with J.P. and G-Dub. There’s insight, analysis and plenty of humor. Great job, guys.

* For the Ducks, the game was the story of four power plays: The first two where Ottawa cashed in, and then the 5-on-3 in the second period and the 6-on-4 late in the third where the Ducks looked like a completely different team.

If Anaheim can stay out of the box and Sami Pahlsson can resist the urge of trying to use his own stick to flip J.S. Giguere’s back to him, Ottawa will be in real trouble 5-on-5.

* Moen-Pahlsson-Niedermayer erased Heatley-Spezza-Alfredsson. Bad news for Ottawa. Start playing with a mean streak and finish some checks. Spezza especially was practically invisible.

* Don’t blame Ray Emery or Anton Volchenko

v. Emery made a number of third period saves that kept the game tied, while Volchenkov, as J.P. pointed out, blocked 10 shots.

* As great as Anaheim played 5-on-5, they were worthless with the man advantage, going 0-for-4. Ottawa was 2-for-7, and played with confidence and command early on.

* You could see Anaheim has confidence in their game plan, as they didn’t look any different 5-on-5 at any point during the game, even when they were down a goal, something we saw a couple of times in previous rounds.

* Both teams played this game in fifth gear from the opening faceoff. There was speed, there was physicality, there was emotion, everything you could possibly want in a hockey game.

* Though I’m not sure these two teams can stand the pounding, please, please, please give us seven games of this sort of hockey.
