Is it possible to slow light down? The delay between the time that the atom absorbs the photon and the excited atom releases as photon causes it to appear that light is slowing down. This apparent slowing of a light wave is responsible for the way light bends as it enters mediums like glass and water. I think you'll find that once a portion of the tray hits the pavement, it is going to slow down much quicker than the rest of the tray and cause you to swing around so that the tray's propagation is much more perpendicular to the interface. www.physlink.com /Education/AskExperts/ae509.cfm   (1633 words)

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | First notes for 639-year composition The first notes in the longest and slowest piece of music in history, designed to go on for 639 years, are being played on a German church organ on Wednesday. The three notes, which will last for a year-and-a-half, are just the start of the piece, called As Slow As Possible.

NPR : Performance Today -- John Cage: Organ^2/ASLSP The title is derived from Cage's direction to play the work "as slow as possible." The John Cage Foundation has taken the composer's directive quite literally; the Halberstadt performance is scheduled to end in the year 2640. Several years after Cage's death in 1992, Betzle and a group of musicologists and philosophers from around the world discussed the possibility of a performance of ASLSP that would truly be in the spirit of John Cage. The group decided that the duration of the work would be the lifetime of an organ, 639 years, "for as long as the organ can sound, and make sounds, or even stand upright," according to Hans-Ola Ericsson, professor of organ at the University of Lulea, Sweden. www.npr.org /programs/pt/features/2003/sep/aslsp.html   (545 words)

Composed by late avant-garde composer John Cage [top], who died in 1992, the performance has already been going for 17 months - although all that has been heard so far is the sound of the organ's bellows being inflated.

Possible reason for "Slow" Search by title... - TiVo Community & Store I know that with the S2DT I had recently the guide data was largely incomplete during the first 24-48 period it was plugged in. The guide was slow for the first day or so after running Guided Setup again after the cards were installed here, but then it sped back up again (though being a tiny bit slower than before due to more channels being involved). Search by title slowed down and didn't ever speed back up (at least that's my experience), unless it slowed down even more while the new channels were indexed. www.tivocommunity.com /tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=323594   (868 words)

kellymom.com :: Let Down Reflex: Too slow? Many things can be the cause of a slow or inhibited let-down: anxiety, pain, embarrassment, stress, cold, excessive caffeine use, smoking, use of alcohol, or the use of some medications. Sometimes a cycle is created, where baby fusses and pulls off because the let-down is slow, which makes mom tense up, which makes the let-down even slower, etc. You can use relaxation techniques and let-down cues to break this cycle. Let-down is partially a conditioned reflex, or one acquired as a result of repeated "training." The pioneer of research into what he called conditioned reflexes was the Russian neurophysiologist Ivan Pavlov. www.kellymom.com /bf/supply/letdown.html   (1391 words)

Play us a slow song...... ASLSP began life, somewhat ironically, as a twenty-minute piano piece, but since Cage's death in 1992 - it's one of the many ghostly aspects of this event that the composer was dead long before it began - it was seized on by a group of fans from the John Cage foundation. Taking the composer at his word, they decided that "as slow as possible" should equal six centuries, and found a derelict church in the former east Germany where an organ had first been installed in 1361, exactly 639 years previously. A new, stripped-down instrument was specially constructed for the occasion, and it's hoped that more pipes can be squeezed in by the time new chords are due to be played. www.freakscene.net /smf/index.php?topic=7568.0   (560 words)

Judith Finlayson attacks the slow cooker not as an alternative to other cooking methods, but as an additional tool for those of us who enjoy the occasional meal with a longer cooking time, but don't want to leave the stove or oven on all day just to use a Dutch oven. I used her shredded chicken as a base for her chicken enchiladas, which far exceeded my expectations regarding what was possible from a slow cooker. www.amazon.com /150-Best-Slow-Cooker-Recipes/dp/0778800385   (2280 words)

If we discover, uncover, or are sent songs to be added, we try to get them up as soon as possible to keep the database as comprehensive as possible. Because the nature of a slow jam is essentially carnal on some level (you're either playing it to entice someone or to recall some carnal memory or feeling, etc.) we stayed away from songs that were slow jam-like, but not quite about what a slow jam is FOR. www.wideopenwest.com /~efavers0976/SLOWJAM_FAQ.htm   (2132 words)

Archinect : News : Slower than Slow   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) In fact, you have about six more centuries to hear developments in the work being performed, a version of a composition by John Cage called "As Slow as Possible." A group of musicians and town boosters has given the title a ridiculously extreme interpretation, by stretching the performance to 639 years. Hans-Ola Ericsson, a Swedish organ professor who helped arrange the score, called it a symbol of possibility to a depressed region. Cage wrote the piece for piano as "As Slow as Possible," or "ASLSP," in 1985, then adapted it for organ two years later, when it became known as "Organ2/ASLSP." The idea for the latest version was born in 1997, at an organ conference in the Black Forest town of Trossingen. archinect.com /news/article.php?id=38589_0_24_0_C   (1330 words)

The PC Guide Discussion Forums - Possible cause of slow performance? On my old pc, all the cutscenes in games use to run smoothly but after upgrading my pc, the cutscenes in certains games seem to "stutter" ie pause for approximately a milisecond every few seconds and there is also some activity with the HD/CD drive at every pause (HD and CD activity light flickers). Got jerky, odd playing in that mode and had to return it to "normal" mode before it looked right...albeit FAST compared to what I was used to.
