“Everybody prays whether [you think] of it as praying or not. The odd silence you fall into when something very beautiful is happening or something very good or very bad. The ah-h-h-h! that sometimes floats up out of you as out of a Fourth of July crowd when the sky-rocket bursts over the water. The stammer of pain at somebody else s pain. The stammer of joy at somebody else's joy. Whatever words or sounds you use for sighing with over your own life. These are all prayers in their way.” ThinkingWayLifeSometimesUsePainBeautifulJoyFallSoundWaterPrayerSilenceSkyPrayingHappeningsVery GoodCrowdsOddOver YouFourthFloatsRocketsJulyVery Beautiful Author:Frederick Buechner
“I don't get what's happening to Jose Mourinho of late. He's lapsing into the kind of Portuguese moroseness you get from staring at the Atlantic horizon and imagining you're the last place in the world, while listening to endless renditions of the fado. His latest line about 'everyone hates us and we don't care' sounds like vintage Joe Kinnear in the great days of the Wimbledon Crazy Gang.” WorldKindCareLastsHateSoundLinesCrazyFootballListeningLateHappeningsDon't CareEndlessManagersSoccerStaringHorizonGangChairmanPlaces In The WorldVintageGreat DayPortugueseWimbledonLast PlaceMourinho Author:Peter Chapman

“I guess the cool thing about the '80s is the kind of like adventure in terms of, you know, people were very willing to use sounds that were completely ridiculous or whatever. There was a lot of stuff happening in the '80s and it's all over the place. I guess that's probably the coolest thing for me and that's what I like about it.

“I've noticed the sound of the golf ball being hit by the golf club is different, and much more realistic, with the hearing aids. The sound with the hearing aids makes sense, and better represents what I know is happening to the golf ball. So you could say that the hearing aids help give me confidence regarding my golf game.” KnowsGivingDifferentHelpingGamesSoundHappeningsBallsGive MeGolfClubsHearingAidsMake SenseRealisticGolf BallGolf ClubsGolf GameHearing Aids Author:Arnold Palmer

“As a viewer, that's work I respond to - work that I know is singular in some way. If I'm being challenged by something on screen, if I don't quite know why it's happening, I want to know I can do the work of pulling it apart and that there'll be something satisfactory about it. If the architecture is sound, you can be lyrical in execution.” IfsKnowsWayWantI CanSoundCan DoHappeningsArchitectureScreensExecutionPullingViewersLyrical Author:Shane Carruth

“What's important is a great set of objective ears, years of experience and a great room with a true sound. Look at this way: If the equipment in a studio is a high performance car, and the mastering engineer is the driver, putting the car on ice and trying to achieve a good lap time is like trying to master music in a bad room, all the equipment in the world wont help you connect with the music and let you hear what's really happening. The room is the environment in which the mix performs to its potential, as the road is to the car. It's hugely important.” IfsWorldWayTryingYearsLooksImportantHelpingSoundRoomsEnvironmentAchieveCarMastersHappeningsPerformancesEarsStudiosObjectivesIceDriversEngineersEquipmentLapWhat's ImportantYears Of Experience Author:Chris McCormack
