Mike’s reason for this design is so that the stick has a slightly added front weight for a solid, consistent “throw” and transient sound. With the extra length, you can adjust how much front weight you’re implementing by slightly moving your fulcrum .580" point up or down on the stick.

Hugh Grundy, Colin Blunstone, Paul Atkinson, Chris White, and Rod Argent (From Le )
The Zombies in West London, 1965: Hugh Grundy, Colin Blunstone, Paul Atkinson, Chris White, and Rod Argent (from le ) > The > 20494_RNRHF_Text_Rev1_70-95.pdfZombies 1 3/11/19 5:19 PM his year’s induction of the Zombies into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is at once a celebration and a culmina- tion of one of the oddest and most convoluted careers in the history of popular music. While not the first band to have two smash hits right out of the box, they may be the only group who pro- ceeded to then fail miserably with their next ten sin- gles over a three-year period before finally achieving immortality with an album, Odessey [sic] and Oracle (1968) and a single, “Time of the Season,” that were released only after they had broken up. Even then, it would be a year after the album’s ini- tial release that, through the intercession of fate and Tthe idiosyncratic tastes of a handful of radio listeners in Boise, Idaho, “Time of the Season” would become a million-selling single and remain one of the most beloved staples of classic-rock radio to this day. Even more ironic was the fact that, despite that hit single, the album Odessey and Oracle was still met with indif- ference. Decades later, succeeding generations of crit- ics and an ever-growing cult fan base raised Odessey and Oracle to its status as one of the most cherished and revered albums of late 1960s British rock. As the album approached its fiftieth anniversary, four of the five original Zombies (guitarist Paul Atkinson passed away in 2004) went on tour, playing it in its entirety for sellout crowds throughout North America and the United Kingdom.

Part V Abstraction We've really been talking about abstraction all along. Whenever you ®nd yourself performing several similar computations, such as > (sentence 'she (word 'run 's)) (SHE RUNS) > (sentence 'she (word 'walk 's)) (SHE WALKS) > (sentence 'she (word 'program 's)) (SHE PROGRAMS) and you capture the similarity in a procedure (define (third-person verb) (sentence 'she (word verb 's))) you're abstracting the pattern of the computation by expressing it in a form that leaves out the particular verb in any one instance. In the preface we said that our approach to computer science is to teach you to think in larger chunks, so that you can ®t larger problems in your mind at once; ªabstractionº is the technical name for that chunking process. In this part of the book we take a closer look at two speci®c kinds of abstraction. One is data abstraction, which means the invention of new data types. The other is the implementation of higher-order functions, an important category of the same process abstraction of which third-person is a trivial example. 278 Until now we've used words and sentences as though they were part of the natural order of things. Now we'll discover that Scheme sentences exist only in our minds and take shape through the use of constructors and selectors (sentence, first, and so on) that we wrote. The implementation of sentences is based on a more fundamental data type called lists. Then we'll see how lists can be used to invent another in-our-minds data type, trees.

Beowulf Translation by Seamus Heaney So. the Spear-Danes in Days Gone by and the Kings Who Ruled Them Had Courage and Greatness
Beowulf Translation by Seamus Heaney So. The Spear-Danes in days gone by And the kings who ruled them had courage and greatness. We have heard of those princes’ heroic campaigns. There was Shield Sheafson, scourge of many tribes, A wrecker of mead-benches, rampaging among foes. This terror of the hall-troops had come far. A foundling to start with, he would flourish later on As his powers waxed and his worth was proved. In the end each clan on the outlying coasts Beyond the whale-road had to yield to him 10 And begin to pay tribute. That was one good king. Afterwards a boy-child was born to Shield, A cub in the yard, a comfort sent By God to that nation. He knew what they had tholed, The long times and troubles they’d come through Without a leader; so the Lord of Life, The glorious Almighty, made this man renowned. Shield had fathered a famous son: Beow’s name was known through the north. And a young prince must be prudent like that, 20 Giving freely while his father lives So that afterwards in age when fighting starts Steadfast companions will stand beside him And hold the line. Behavior that’s admired Is the path to power among people everywhere. Shield was still thriving when his time came And he crossed over into the Lord’s keeping. His warrior band did what he bade them When he laid down the law among the Danes: They shouldered him out to the sea’s flood, 30 The chief they revered who had long ruled them.
