I tried to kill my husband once (“Only once?” you say). He wasn’t my husband yet and to be perfectly honest, I never did actually tell him to put his face over it after lighting the match and dropping it in. But I am getting ahead of myself.

My father worked for the government. He was a quality control engineer overseeing a defense contract with a private sector company that built missiles and missile delivery systems. “Ahhh,” you are saying, “Rockets.”

During the time that he was working with this particular company, a General, who was my father’s immediate superior, had cause to visit Japan. The General knew of my father’s love of the art of barbecuing. Dad loved nothing better than a good steak, carefully barbecued, rare and dripping with juices. While in Japan, the General came across a truly awe inspiring hibachi. This was not your garden variety hibachi that you may purchase just about anywhere. I laugh, ha-ha, when I see what passes for a hibachi these days. The General shipped it directly to our house. When it first arrived, we had no idea what it was or what to do with it, but it was attractive. Mom was heard to say, “Okay…” on a rising, questioning note.

A real, honest to goodness, Japanese hibachi is a sight to behold. Standing at about three feet tall, it looked a lot like a giant Chinese ginger jar complete with cap. The outer surface was pebbled and colored a nice dark, peaceful green. The trim was black as was the inside in anticipation; I am sure, of the blackening that would ensue as it was used. The Japanese have always given great thought to the aesthetics of their products.

The base was probably at least two feet in diameter and had a plug that could be adjusted to control the flow of air or remove spent charcoal. At about the two foot high mark, it flared out significantly and there was a seam that created a hinged lid. The lid tapered drastically to a short chimney, with a diameter of maybe six inches, which had a removable cap. So now you are probably saying, “All right already. Enough about the hibachi. Let’s get to the killing part.” But this is important and you will see why in a moment.

My dad died in August of 1969 and I met my husband-to-be in September of 1970. I tell you this to give you an idea of the era in which this all transpired. It was a more innocent time. Kids, teenagers, didn’t know some of the things then that 12 year olds know today. Well, okay, there probably is no way to put a good spin on this.

Sometime during the autumn of 1971, the family was having a barbecue. It was a Saturday. I know this because my grandmother (Dad’s mom) was there. She always visited on Saturday. Also present were Bernd (the husband-to-be), my sister (Deb) and mom (Sue), her fiancé (Lew) and me. Some how, it fell to Bernd and me to light the barbecue…excuse me…hibachi.

My father had always done this and it never seemed to bother him. He would stack the charcoal just so, douse it thoroughly with starter fluid and nonchalantly toss in a lit match. Voila! Barbeque. Bernd and I were not nearly so sanguine about the whole thing. Both of us were a bit nervous about the explosive fuel and subsequent fire. Hey, give us a break! We were young and inexperienced.

We had loaded the charcoal and were standing there discussing the best technique for lighting it when Lew opened the sliding glass door and said, “Come on. Light the darn thing already.” By that time, we had come up with a plan and implemented it forthwith. The plan was mostly mine which is why I shoulder the blame, but Bernd did agree it sounded good on “paper.” We had little practical knowledge of certain principles of physics and were fairly confident in our plan. They say that ignorance is bliss, but I am not so sure. Considering what my father had done for a living, I probably should have known better.

I thoroughly doused the charcoals with starter fluid as I had seen my father do. Bernd slammed down the lid and quickly lit a match. Leaning over the chimney (at six feet and two inches he was well able to lean way over), he dropped it down the chimney. Immediately, there came a massive “whump” followed by a loud “whoosh.”

Fortunately for Bernd at this most critical moment in his life, he was quite near-sighted and always wore eyeglasses. This saved his sight, or this story might have had a different beginning.

The “whump” was the sound of the starter fluid vapor exploding and trying to blow the very heavy lid up and open. It failed. If only it had succeeded. The “whoosh” was a lot of hot gas and flame exhausting out of the chimney in a condensed stream. Picture a rocket nozzle. What were we thinking!? Bernd’s somewhat longish hair (remember the Hippies of the 60’s and early 70’s?) was blown back and away from his face. The whole thing was over in a second. He looked at me and I think I may have screamed.

Poor Bernd (I’ve said before that he is severely beset upon and long suffering for having married me) had instantly acquired a really good imitation of a very bad sunburn. His eyebrows were completely missing as was all his hair for about two inches back from his hairline. In its place was a very foul smelling stubble. The rest of his hair, while still on his head, looked a bit too crispy to survive any kind of hairbrush or comb. When I looked closer, I saw that his eyelashes appeared to have been melted. I turned to look at the sliding glass door and saw Grandma standing there. She was kind enough to open the door just a crack and say to me, “I knew you shouldn’t do that.” Thank you, Grandma.

We decided he should go home. We thought maybe taking a shower and washing his hair was a good idea. He smelled really bad. We piled into his car, rolled all the windows down and headed across town. My mom, unknown to us, had called his mom and told her what happened. So I was greeted with a very loud and indignant, “You did what to him?” in her lovely German accent. Boy was she upset.

On Monday, Bernd did not go to his classes. Instead, his mom took him to a hair dresser to assess the damage and discuss options. To this day, I don’t know why she was so upset that the only course of action was to buzz off the rest of his hair. She had been trying for weeks to get me to talk Bernd into cutting his long hair. I had refused to use my influence in that way. Be careful what you wish for.

The roasted smell left him, eventually, and his hair grew back. He wore it defiantly long for several years after. It took me a long, long time to get over the guilt I felt at blasting him in the face with a rocket motor. We laugh about it now. He has never stopped loving me and he has never stopped doing what I tell him. You’d think he’d know better. He does, however, give it a good think through first.

So, the next time someone says to you that this, that or the other thing is not rocket science, you may safely say, “Yes, but lighting a barbecue is.”

We designed Rocket Piano to be the easiest system to learn to play the piano available anywhere.

Who Will Benefit Most From This Piano Lesson Course? This Piano Course is designed for beginners through intermediate players.

What Kind of Piano Does This Course Require? The Rocket Piano lessons are designed for both acoustic pianos and electric keyboards.

About The Instructor: Ruth Searle In her own words: I am classically trained in Solo Piano and have more than 15 years experience playing. While Classical piano is my specialty I also have extensive experience performing Jazz, Pop, Blues, Rock, and Gospel. I spent three years studying music and graduated with a Bachelor of Media Arts majoring in Commercial Music. I also received an Australasian Award for Composition.

The Physical Parts: 218 step-by-step lessons in 3 printable Ebook downloads, 57 video lessons, 133 audio files, Jazz Piano Book, Rocket Piano Gospel, Spiritual and Hymns Book, New Piano Quizzes

The Rocket Piano Bonus Software: 1. Metronome Software for speed and timing training. 2. The Chordinator teaches you to read chords from a musical staff in interactive game format. 3. Jayde Musica Pro is another software game that is cleverly designed to develop your ability to quickly identify the pitch of a note with its musical symbol and its letter name.

The Negatives: Downloadable lesson programs used to be frustrating to download, organize and quickly retrieve the bits of audio and video as needed. This has been brilliantly fixed with special free download management software that does all of the file organizing for you. Just click on a video or audio button in the ebook and it pops to the foreground.

The only significant weakness is that this is basically a written program with audio and video enhancements instead of an all-video program. They have, however, done a masterful job of supporting each written lesson with well produced photos, diagrams, audio, video and play-along jam tracks.

The Positives: 1. The price is a bargain at $39.95. 2. The volume and selection of lessons is good. 3. The author/ instructor Ruth Searle does a nice job. 4. The bonus software items are genuinely useful and worth the $39.95 by themselves. 5. The quality of the audio and video snippets are excellent.

The Cost Analysis: The price is $39.95 and includes all of the items mentioned above. Rocket Piano Lessons with Ruth Searle contains the equivalent of 6 months to a year of lessons if you were to space them out as if you were taking lessons from a local piano teacher. A local instructor typically will charge anywhere from $20 to $50 USD per weekly lesson. Your minimum cost, not including materials, at only $20 per lesson for 6 to 12 months would be approximately $520 to $1040 USD .

The choice comes down to Rocket Piano at $39.95 USD or a local instructor at $520.

Support: An extensive online Frequently Asked Questions section is available plus online email support. A well used forum with piano related questions and answers is also available. Every Rocket Piano member is entitled to lifetime updates of the software and lessons.

Guarantee: If you are not satisfied for any reason, simply return it within sixty (60) days for a full refund of the purchase price.

The Bottom Line: My top recommendations always lean towards instrumental music lesson programs that are all-video. They generally offer a clearer method of communicating lots of subtle information. Having said that, I feel that Rocket Piano is the absolute Best partial audio and video enhanced, written lessons I have ever seen. At only $39.95 it is also the least expensive one.

Rocket Piano is perfect for someone that does not wish to spend $150- $200 for an all-video program. It is an excellent, complete, professional, low-cost way to get started with learning to play piano. For these reasons, I recommend, with out hesitation, the Rocket Piano lesson program.

The thing about learning to play piano by ear, when you first start out, is that it will take a while and you will need to be patient. When I first started out it took me quite some time and I had to work through quite a lot of frustrating moments but in the end it was much more rewarding.

Actually learning piano can be a lot of fun. There is something about the physical connection between hand, ear, eye, and brain involved in learning to play piano which stimulates learning in general.

What reason is there for learning to play piano you might ask? Keeping the mind in shape is certainly one reason. Learning to play piano by ear first though will refine your listening skills and eventually make reading sheet music a lot easier. Learning to play can be a great joy for many reasons. Music can express an important part of ourselves that can reach expression in no other way.

One major advantage to piano playing over other instruments is that the piano is played with more than one note. This means if you learn to play piano, you can accompany other instruments and even singers.

For an example, when multiple notes are played together, piano chords are achieved. The chords then come together to form a melody. Learning to identify notes will play a large part in your understanding of piano chords. As you move through your studies, you will learn all of the terminology associated with piano playing and the definition of each.

In an evening, someone who knows nothing about the piano might have the ability to play a melody just on chords alone. Playing by chords is usually encouraged more than playing by tablature. In my experience, the focus should be on enjoying the experience and to savor the time that is available for playing and practice. Get ready for some stinging stumbles though and some stress along the way, but please don’t be turned off by that.

Take pride in small accomplishments and recognize little improvements along the way. Learning to play the piano is a life long process.

One of the best way to get started and learn to play piano in my opinion is an online piano course called “Rocket Piano” created by Ruth Searle. Ruth by the way, is classically trained to Grade 8 in Solo Piano and has more than 15 years experience playing. While Classical piano is her specialty She also has extensive experience playing and performing Jazz, Pop, Blues, Rock, and Gospel. She spent three years studying music and graduated with a Bachelor of Media Arts majoring in Commercial Music, also received an Australasian Award for Composition.

Rocket Piano is jam-packed with quality information, including hundreds of sound files, pictures, diagrams, videos lessons AND step-by-step instructions training you to read music AND play by ear, so you can play virtually any song that you hear – this is truly cutting-edge material! With Rocket Piano you’ll discover how to read music, how to improvize, how to play Pop,Jazz, Blues and Gospel, and how to play with the magic and “feel” of a professional. It is designed to be the easiest system to learn to play piano available anywhere.

This is also a cheaper alternative in learning to play piano. You can choose the most convenient time to learn to play the instrument and in your chosen pace. Learning to play piano by ear is a big step and this course will give you all of the help you need, the less it costs the better right?

Rocket Piano will guide you through the basics you need to know in order to play by ear, including what chords you need to know, developing your playing technique, notes, difficult chords and more.

Rocket Piano is the only educational program in the world that can teach even a 2 year old child to play piano with both hands and read music notes. This piano learning online course is useful for a beginner as well as an advanced student to develop the skills of fluent music reading and immaculate piano playing. This will help you over time, to identify the notes, intervals and patterns of the chords being played. It may be a little tough in the beginning, but you will become proficient at it soon.

More and more adults are finding themselves taking piano lessons. Piano lessons can be a good mental exercise and help with keeping the brain active as we age. These events are not only enjoyable in and of themselves but give you the opportunity to focus on enjoying music while you are learning to play piano.

Fantastic Four is an exciting movie. With great special effects and loyalty to the comic book, this is an awesome film for all of the old Fantastic Four fans as well as today’s new generation of fans.

The movie is centered around the effects caused by an experiment aboard an orbiting satellite owned by Victor Doom (Julian McMahon). The four scientists Dr. Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffudd), Ben Grimm (Michael Chiklis), Susan Storm (Jessica Alba) and Johnny Storm (Chris Evans) become exposed to an intense radiation storm while aboard the space station and develop superhuman powers. Reed Richards gets the ability to stretch his body. Sue Storm can becomes invisible and generate force fields. Johnny Storm is able to withstand and control fire. Ben Grimm later turns into a “thing” of solid rock and becomes incredibly strong!

Together, this “Fantastic Four”, so named by a crowd of people that see what they can do, while trying to reverse their powers eventually detect and realize that they must stop the evil plans of Victor Doom, a billionaire businessman. He later becomes Dr. Doom as his body also changes from the radiation he was exposed to aboard his own space station. His body slowly turns into a super strong metal alloy that gives him the ability to absorb and control electricity.

In the beginning the movie, Dr. Richards approaches Victor Doom with a business proposition involving research on genetics and finding a cure for a wide variety of diseases. They agree to use Doom’s orbiting space station to observe a unique space storm that contains the building blocks of life. Everything seems routine until the storm picks up speed and hits the station far ahead of schedule.

Caught completely by surprise, everyone on the space station is affected, though none of them are aware of it…until the genetic changes begin to happen.

That is when everything starts getting complicated. Sue Storm and Dr. Reed Richards become united in finding a cure for their “special powers”, but in the process have to get past their personal conflict with each other. Once in love, they had a painful end to their relationship. Suddenly reunited by fate, they now try to be professional with each other in order to figure out a way to change themselves back the way they used to be.

Ben Grimm, who suffers the most when his total appearance is altered into a walking huge hulk of living rocks. Even though he has a heart of gold, his girlfriend rejects him immediately, frightened by reason of his new body. Ben Grimm even endures more humiliation when the press spreads the name “The Thing” given to him by Johnny Storm in a press interview. It turns out he cannot even use an elevator because his weight exceeds the limit of what elevators can handle, over two thousand pounds.

The movie grows more intense as Doom grows in his abilities and ambitions for power. Like his personality, he remains cold to human suffering, caring only for what he can use and control. Soon, the Fantastic Four challenged by Doom and forced into trying to stop him from killing and destroying millions of innocent people.

“Fantastic Four” is rated PG-13 for sequences of intense action and suggestive content.
About the Author:

Stanley Kubrick is undoubtedly one of cinema’s true visionaries, having made films for the better part of half a century that have stood out as being some of the most unique films in history: ‘A Clockwork Orange’, ‘Full Metal Jacket’, ‘The Shining’ to name a few. I’m probably not as partial to his style, mainly because I find his films quite frustrating to watch (with the exception of Eyes Wide Shut). Sorry if I’ve offended the Kubrick purists out there, but although I recognise that he’s brilliant, I don’t think that necessarily makes his films easy to sit through. He really does take his time, minute by minute with each scene, and he tests an audience’s patience.

When I first watched ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’, I came to it having heard the stories of its ‘classic’ status and was keen to check it out given that I’m quite the sci-fi buff. I’m still not sure what to think. The opening sequence of the Sun coming up over the Earth combined with that now infamous music by Richard Strauss is nothing short of jaw-dropping and left a very strong first impression. When I saw that, it seemed like a perfect opening that captured the grandness of space.

Yet, the film then starts to progress through a rather unformulaic way. There’s a story, and there isn’t. We follow the progress of man’s first step from being an ape to becoming what he is today, but after a few minutes of seeing those monkeys jump around in prehistoric times, I got the picture. I didn’t need to see more than that but you do. Then there’s the spectacular transition from one of the apes throwing a bone in to the air and it cuts to a spaceship of similar shape orbiting the Earth – a jump cut of a millenia! Then we get to see space ships and space stations dancing to the Blue Danube. It’s quite beautiful and very well directed, yet for a lot of people I can imagine them wondering: what the hell is going on here? Then we move to the more straight-forward part of the narrative where we meet the infamous HAL, an artificial intelligence that runs the spaceship Gary Lockwood and his astronauts are running. This part of the film is about man vs machine – the idea that all things being equal, a computer should be perfect, but as is so cleverly demonstrated by Kubrick, HAL is definitely not and by that token we shouldn’t put all our trust in a machine. And after the HAL storyline is resolved, we move to an extremely surreal journey through the cosmos where humanity meets its future with the famous image of the Star Child closing out the film, representing humanity’s infancy in the universe (a symbolic mirror of the opening when apes became men). It’s all very high concept, but you have to dig it out for yourself and I can imagine this might frustrate the casual viewer.

The film is a masterpiece. The film also depicts a very realistic vision of the Earth, the surface of the Moon, and our Solar System – impressive given the film was made before humanity went to the Moon. The images are nothing short of spectacular. What Kubrick does with the form will not be to everyone’s taste but at least you can appreciate the man for trying something different. Imagine that happening in Hollywood today…

There have been a large number of great Klingon episodes throughout the Star Trek franchise. From a few in the original, to taking things to Chronos in Next Generation. Deep Space Nine got a lot more into the Klingon culture when the war with the Dominion started and Worf joined the cast. Voyager only ventured into Klingon related episodes a couple times, as they were quite far from all Klingons except one. Here are the top 10 Klingon episodes in order.

They decide the Klingon Emprie isn’t ready for the sword, so they beam it to space, until the empire is ready for it.

#1 Trouble With Tribbles
One of the funnest and funniest episodes of Star Trek to this day. The story begins with a priority distress call from a space station to the enterprise. When Kirk beams down to the space station, he finds that Klingons are already there. According to an agreement, the Klingons have to be allowed on the station. Kirk begrudgingly allows them so, as long as the same number of Starfleet officers are on at all times. Things heat up when the Klingons begin making fun of the Enterprise and her crew. It becomes a hilarious all out brawl that ends the ‘vacation’ on the station. The Klingons real intent is discovered later in the episode with from an unexpected source.
