Basketball

Basket ball is one of the most popular organized sports in the world. It is played with two teams, each controlling there own half of the court. Each team's goal is to score on the other team's net therefor gaining them not one but two points. If someone gets a penalty, which can be gained either by traveling, fighting or grabbing the ball from someone's hands, the victim must do a free throw. they stand half way from the center of the court in the enemy's zone and then has one or two chances to sink a basket. If the do, Its worth one point. The winner is decided with whoever has the most points after the time is up. Basketball can also be played in other ways. some kids go for the "everything counts" rule. these games for me are much more fun.

How to play guitar (Continued)


Last week we went over the different parts of the guitar, lets start this week off now by going over how to position yourself best for playing.
Start by finding an armless chair to sit in. Make sure that you're sitting comfortably and that your back is well supported. No slouching! Place the guitar in your lap with the back of the instrument touching your chest. Let the body of the guitar rest on the leg farthest away from the head. If you are right handed, the head should be to your left, meaning you have to place the body on your right leg. If you look at the neck of your guitar you can see the thinnest string is closer to the ground.
Another of the most important things you will need to do in order to keep your guitar sounding good is to tune it on a regular basis. Tuning is done by tightening or loosening each of the tuning pegs on the head of the guitar. Here is how it's done. First place a finger on the 5th fret of the 6th string and play the note. Next play the 5th string open. When in tune, these two notes should sound exactly the same.Turn the peg for the 5th string until they sound the same. Notice that when you turn the peg one way the note gets higher. High notes are Sharp notes, and low notes are flat notes. Next place your finger on the 5th fret of the 5th string and repeat this process with the 4th string open. After you have done that repeat this process for the 4th and 3rd strings. Now instead of placing your finger on the 5th fret of the 3rd string when adjusting the 2nd string, place it on the 4th fret. Finally to tune the 1st and final string, go back to the first method by playing the 5th fret of the 2nd string.
That's all for this session, and I will continue my how to on how to play guitar in another week.

shelby


The shelby mustang is a high performance variant of the ford mustang built 1965 through 1970. Then the shelby nameplate was revivedin 2007 for new performance version mustangs. A brand new car of carroll shelby is a gt500 super snakes this car was modified from a gt500 the differnces btween these cars is that,well a lot differnt engine, wheels seats and the list goes on. a gt500 coasts up to about 40,000 to 70,000 and if you want to costimize it you'll be looking at around an aditional 28,000 but today you could buy another mustang but if you costimize a gt500 your horse power goes up to around 600 hrsepower. You might think thats bad for the enviorment but a gt500 is one of the cleanest cars that runs on fuels.






Trumpet is one of the most widely used instruments, being played in classical, jazz, contemporary
and so forth. It's a great instrument, but frustrating at first. It is frustrating because your
lips' "buzzing" is what makes the sound, the tighter the lips the higher the sound and vice versa.
For beginners, such as myself, lip buzzing is inconsistent, which makes for a bad sound. Despite
the fact that it's hard to start, once you get over the buzzing issue, it is pretty straight forward from
there. Then you can start playing songs and work your way up. Trying to learn by yourself can be
even more frustrating than the buzzing issue. Practicing trumpet in higher populated areas
could annoy the people you live with and those who are living around you, so having a good
teacher with a sense of humour and country location for practicing helps.
