Saxophone

Heyyy everbody from now in my blog there is a topic about music. For today we will discussed about saxophone. Is there anyone is don't know about saxophone, in my mind all of you know about saxophone. Saxophone has the same step to play it like clarinet. But saxophone has a smooth sound than it. Now is about our topic today.

The saxophone (also referred to informally as the sax) is a conical-bore, transposing musical instrument that is a member of the woodwind family. Saxophones are usually made of brass and played with a single-reed-mouthpiece similar to that of the clarinet. The saxophone was invented by the Belgian instrument maker Adolphe Sax in 1846.

He wanted to create an instrument that would be the most powerful and vocal of the woodwinds, and the most adaptive of the brass—that would fill the vacant middle ground between the two sections. He patented the saxophone on June 24, 1846 in two groups of seven instruments each.

Each series consisted of instruments of various sizes in alternating transposition. The series pitched in B♭ and E♭, designed for military bands, has proved extremely popular and most saxophones encountered today are from this series. Instruments from the so-called "orchestral" series pitched in C and F never gained a foothold, and the B♭ and E♭ instruments have now replaced the C and F instruments in classical music.

While proving very popular in military band music, the saxophone is most commonly associated with jazz and classical music. There is substantial repertoire of concert music in the classical idiom for the members of the saxophone family. Saxophone players are called saxophonists.
The primary (military band) saxophone family alternates instruments in B♭ and E♭. The other ("orchestral') family patented by Sax, alternating instruments in C and F, has always been marginal, although some manufacturers tried to popularise the soprano in C (or C soprano saxophone), the alto in F (or mezzo-soprano saxophone), and the tenor in C (or C melody saxophone) early in the twentieth century. The C melody enjoyed some success in the late 1920s and early 1930s as a parlor instrument. One company has recently revived production of the C soprano and C melody.Instruments in F are rare.

Ok that's all about the information thank you for have read this. Enjoy and have a nice day all.

Ford Fiesta

 

 

When we first saw the Ford Fiesta ST as a concept car at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show and later in five-door form at the L.A. show, it seemed like a no-brainer that the small, go-fast hatch would be built. Not surprisingly, Ford has made it official with the reveal of the production-spec version of the 2013 Ford Fiesta ST debuting at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show in advance of its in European showroom launch early next year.

As was the case in the Fiesta ST concept, the motivating force comes from an EcoBoost turbocharged 1.6-liter inline-four engine, with 178 hp and 177 lb-ft of torque directed to the front wheels by way of a six-speed manual transmission. Ford says the Fiesta ST will hit 62 mph in less than seven seconds, with a top speed north of 136 mph. To help keep up with the power increase, the Fiesta ST also scores unique suspension tuning that is 0.6-in. lower than a regular Fiesta, Torque Vectoring Control, and a three-mode stability control system.

The Fiesta ST's mechanical upgrades are matched by a new body kit with a trapezoidal mesh grille, roof spoiler, new side skirts, lower front and rear fascias, and twin exhaust tips. Recaro seats with contrasting inserts that match the bodywork, metal sport pedals, and Sync voice recognition are all standard. The car looks like a scaled-down version of the Focus ST -- a move we're sure was deliberate.
Based on what Ford has told us so far, we have high hopes for the Fiesta ST's performance character. Ford director of Global Performance Vehicles Jost Capito claims drivers "will be blown away by the new Fiesta ST." An engineer with Ford's Special Vehicle Team previously told us that the new car is "designed to reward excellent drivers, and flatter novices." The car was tested and developed at the Nurburgring in Germany.

One big question remains: Will the Ford Fiesta ST be sold in the U.S.? The version shown here is a two-door model that likely won't arrive on our shores because the American market only gets four-door Fiestas at present. But Ford received strong response to the four-door Fiesta ST concept at the L.A. show last fall and "remains open to the idea" of selling the Fiesta ST in America. That sounds like tacit confirmation to us that the hot hatch is destined for American market in four-door form sometime after the two-door launches in Europe next year.

Honda Mini Acura NSX

While the stillborn, V-10-powered NSX was being developed, Honda was also working on a related and obscure project referred to internally as the Small NSX. At the time it was just one of several advanced R&D ideas sitting in the design room. Then the financial crisis hit, causing Honda to kill the NSX and shelve all other sports car projects. But Honda has since rebounded, and as we know, the NSX has been reborn as an all-wheel drive hybrid. Now we're hearing the Small NSX may be back on the drawing board as well.

While the words "Small NSX" may conjure up visions of a successor to the S2000, our inside source tells us this is not the case, and that it will look much like a shrunken version of the big-boy NSX, something along the lines of the car you see in this artist's impression. Our source also tells us that like the NSX, it will be equipped with a version of Honda's SH-AWD system

Power will likely be provided by a turbocharged direct-injection engine. Honda currently has a number of engines that could fit the bill, including the 3.5-liter V-6, 2.4-liter I-4, and 2.0-liter I-4 already offered in several of its American-market products. Given Honda's America-focused development, overseas engines such as its 660cc and 1.0-liter mills are unlikely to be considered. Of the possible three, the 2.4-liter is the most likely candidate. There's also the possibility that it will be fitted with some kind of hybrid drivetrain.

Our source also tells us the Small NSX will make use of a number of parts from the NSX to help recoup development costs. Given that both cars will be developed at Honda of America's R&D center in Ohio (we're told that in July Honda HQ assigned several of its top test drivers and engineers to the facility for a five-year stint), it's a logical move. The NSX remains on track to return for the 2015 model year. If it's indeed green-lit, the Small NSX could follow a year or two afterward, before the drivers and engineers head home in 2017. Don't expect it to be a bargain sports car, however. Given the amount of DNA it's likely to share with the NSX, the Small NSX would likely cost between $50,000 and $60,000

Subaru Outback

Without a doubt, the BRZ is Subaru's current superstar, with sales and pre-orders exceeding expectations. The automaker is hoping to shine a bit of the BRZ's spotlight on the updated 2013 Subaru Legacy and 2013 Subaru Outback, both of which will debut at New York with a number of mechanical and cosmetic tweaks.

Under the hood, 2.5i models now get a new FB series, dual-overhead-cam 2.5-liter, boxer-four rated at 173 hp and 174 lb-ft of torque; an increase of 3 hp and 4 lb-ft compared to outgoing, single-overhead cam engine. A six-speed manual is standard, while an all-new, second-generation continuously variable transmission is optional. Subaru says the new CVT is quieter, more responsive, and is expected to help boost fuel economy. The 256-hp 3.6-liter boxer-six engine and five-speed automatic transmission will carry over for the 3.6R models. Sadly, the sporty Legacy 2.5GT model -- and its boisterous turbocharged boxer-four engine -- has been discontinued for 2013.

All Legacy and Outback models, however, receive suspension, chassis, and body tweaks to improve ride and handling. Subaru claims the updates have reduced body roll by up to 40 percent.

The two new models will also debut an optional EyeSight safety system, which uses a camera for advanced safety features that include adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking, and vehicle lane departure warning. Subaru says its system is cheaper and more effective than the comparable system available on Volvos.

Subaru has made various interior updates including new fabric materials and an updated audio system for 2.5i models. The Outback and Legacy Limited trim now features a rear-seat A/C outlet and a new electroluminescent instrument cluster. Pricing and an on-sale date have not yet been announced.

Mitsubishi Outlander

The 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport was unveiled at the 2012 New York auto show with a host of updates including a new front end and standard 18-inch alloy wheels. It will also come with a "Made in the U.S.A." sticker when it reaches dealer showrooms, its production shifting from Japan to the Normal, IL plant following the discontinuation of the Galant sedan.

The compact crossover retains its characteristic “angry eyes” headlights and wide trapezoidal front grille, but gets a subtly revised front fascia. The bumper has been smoothed out a bit, and the grille and fog light surrounds receive new chrome trim. It’s a similar story in the rear, with a simpler, smoother bumper design. The restyled side sills are now colored black on all models to match the lower sections of the altered front and rear bumpers. All 2013 Outlander Sport also have the option of new exterior colors White Pearl and Quick Silver.

Also debuting on the 2013 Outlander Sport is a revised rear multi-link suspension, which Mitsubishi says will improve handling and ride comfort. The available CVT has been recalibrated to provide better acceleration and smoother shift feel. Inside, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, along with Mitsubishi’s FUSE hands-free Bluetooth phone system, come standard. The range-topping SE model adds a premium six-speaker audio system, heated front seats, HID headlights, as well as smart key passive entry and push-button ignition.

An Amazing Holiday

Guys today I want tell you about my amazing holiday. In this holiday, I spent it in Bandung. I went to Bandung with my big familys and I stayed in Bandung for 3 days. In there, I stayed in Sweet Karina Hotel which is located near Pasteur Road. That hotel is really nice and I really enjoyed to stay in there for 3 days. The facilities is quite complete, there are free Wi-Fi and some acomodation. And for the breakfast is really delicious ( In my opinion ).

          The First Day in Bandung

In the first I went to Dago to go to some outlet. In Dago, I visited to Nike Factory Outlet to buy some shoes. The shoes really cool but the prize is a bit expensive. The shop is very crowd because there's a discount of Lebaran Sale. And I buy two shoes in there because the shoes is nice. After there, I went to Taman Hutan Raya. There are Japan and Dutch Cave. I went to both of the cave and it really dark so I much buy a flashlight so we can see in there. The cave is really dark but it's beauty inside. At the afternoon, I had lunch at Ahong Restaurant which is near Mutiara Hotel. The food is really delicious and many people have eat at there. After eat lunch we have a rest in Sweet Karina Hotel because we are so tired. At nite we went to Kampung Daun for have dinner. Kampung Daun have a beautiful view but the restaurant is full so we eat 'Soto Ayam' in Pasir Kaliki. We came back to the hotel at 11 pm.

         The Second Day in Bandung

For the second day, I spent it in Garut. Before we went to Garut, we have breakfast. I ate Fried Rice and drink some milk coffee. After had breakfast we went to Garut. In Garut we didn't do muc because it very crowd of car so it make a bad traffic jam. I really hate it. We had lunch in Cibiuk Restaurant and I ate 'Nasi Liwet'. It's very delicious. For the second day I didn't do much because The Traffic Jam is so bad. We arrived in Sweet Karina Hotel at 6 pm and after arrived we take a bath because we will go to Pasir Kaliki to have dinner. In there, I ate 'Nasi Campur' because my father said the taste is really nice. We went back to the hotel at 11 pm but I slept at 2 am.

         The Third Day in Bandung

In the last day, we met with my cousin because he was in Bandung too. With him we went to Kartika Sari, PrimaRasa, and Rumah Sosis. We bought some snacks in Kartika and Prima Rasa. After that we went to Rumah Sosis to have fun because it's the last day in Bandung. We went home in 8 pm and arrived at 12 pm.

This is my holiday, how about you ?

Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

The ZL1 convertible is $60,445 with destination and is available with a six-speed manual or a Tremec TR6060 6L90 Hydra-matic. It comes with GM's Magnetic-Ride suspension. To make it a solid convertible, Chevy redesigned the transmission support, stiffened the engine cradle, and added an underbody X-brace. Its competition mode is like that of an SS, and Chevy says the chassis has been tuned for "daily driver comfort and excellent control," which means it's not as serious of a "driver's car" as the ZL1 coupe.

Perhaps, though the roads I drove in order to sort out this car were mostly the same long and straight Great Lakes roads as the ones used to chassis-tune Oldsmobile 88s in the 1960s. What the drive did tell is that the ZL1 convertible can accelerate quickly and probably has a pretty good top speed, though it has the kind of subtle cowl shake you'd anticipate from any convertible that didn't begin life as such, like say, a Mazda Miata or Porsche Boxster. The only reason to choose the convertible over the coupe, even without having driven the coupe, is to hear that throaty supercharged V-8 rumble all the better.

What does this have to do with handling and the cure for understeer? The ZL1 convertible drive was to and from the western Michigan Gingerman race circuit, where Chevy offered laps in the new Camaro SS 1LE coupe. That drive reinforced its maker's assertion that handling has been improved. The 1LE is amazingly neutral for such a big, heavy coupe.

Specially designed monotube rear dampers, a strut tower brace, and 27-from/28-mm rear anti-roll bars are exclusive to the 1LE. It gets a flat-black hood, Brembos, a black front splitter and black rear spoiler, plus a short-throw six-speed manual and a D-shaped wheel. At $37,035, it's a bargain next to the ZL1 ragtop.

As a Mustang Track Package-beater, this -- not the ZL1 vs. GT500 -- is the Camaro to consider, at least until smaller, lighter Camaros and Mustangs arrive in time for the 2015 model year.

Audi A3 Buyer's Guide

                                                                                                                                                                                                               Audi's new A3 has already launched as a-two-door-hatchback which won't be sold in the U.S. We have full details on the versions that will.

The mainstream A3 is the sedan previewed by the concept at 2011 Geneva. Its wheelbase stretches by 1.5 inches to 104, and it's slightly wider than the hatchback.The dash and instrument packs are carried over from the new two-door hatchback, but the longer wheelbase gives a better rear package.

The sedan body, Audi thinks, is vital to spurring sales of compact cars in the U.S. and Chinese markets. In addition to European production, Audi will build the car in a new Chinese factory coming online in 2014, where it will offer a long-wheelbase version for that chauffeur-intense market.

With the new modular MQB platform come new powertrains, so the A3 in the U.S. will get new four-cylinder gasoline engines. The base version will be a 180-hp, 1.8-liter with variable valve lift on the exhaust side. The 2.0-liter version produces about 230 hp. Topping the range is a 300-hp S3 quattro. Well, at least it tops the range for the moment. In 2015, Audi's 2.5-liter in-line five will be wedged under the hood for the RS 3 quattro. This engine makes 360 hp in the TT RS, and was rated 408 in the concept; the RS 3 quattro's final number will be somewhere in between.

A plug-in hybrid for 2014 is likely to be named A3 e-Tron, and will use the hatchback body for differentiation. The A3 four-door hatchback shares the sedan's wheelbase, but has the same width as the two-door hatch. Like the new VW Jetta conventional hybrid, the A3 e-Tron's engine is a 1.4-liter turbo direct-injection engine with displacement-on-demand technology that deactivates two cylinders at light load. This links to a seven-speed twin-clutch transmission, with an integrated electric motor. The battery is in the rear, under the trunk.

 

Electric range is about 35 miles. Various cruising modes range from one that maximizes fuel efficiency to one that uses the electric motor to boost the gas engine for big-engine style high-performance.

Just For Info :D

Guys started from this week, I haven't explained about my daily life too much because I want explained about some cool cars. I use English language because I have a school project to use English language in our blogs. But don't worry I still use translate if you don't know what is the meaning to make you easily know what is the meaning. :D

I think some cool cars that I want explained is like Chevrolet, Audi, Porsche, and anything else. Sometimes I will show you some videos of that cars so you can enjoy it much. I think I will used some of Top Gear's video that I have downloaded from Youtube.

That's all about my new blogspot.

I need your comment to improve my blogspot, I will waiting from it.

MOPDB (SMPK 1)

Guys this day is so interesting to me because I must go to take part of MOPB of the new students. That's so cool, I so happy waiting this moment.


And this day this is the first time I have called "kakak" from our new students. I felt a bit old if called "kakak", it doesn't matter because I enjoy that moment much.


My favourite moment is when the new students be acquainted with OSIS organisation. Many students have a cute face.

But that's so bored when I must lead a group without my partner is so confused because it so noisy. Luckily my partner will come on Monday.

And I think some of the mentors have a bad behavior and I think it just for make the students discipline. But I don't like that :p


Guys that's all about my story. Byeee and have a nice day :)
