To do a track stand, stand up on the pedals with the cranks horizontal, placing your "good" foot - i.e. the foot you are most comfortable having in front when sliding across an icy pond - forward. Lean forward. Find a slight uphill and slowly roll to a stop. When you have completely stopped, you should have your front wheel turned about 45 degrees towards your "good" foot, and pointed roughly uphill. The uphill allows you to create backward motion by relaxing pressure on the cranks, thus allowing the bike to roll backwards; if you are ...

Voice tracking, also called cyber jocking, is a technique employed by some radio stations. This produces the illusion of a live disc jockey or announcer sitting in the studios of the station.

Caterpillar tracks are large (modular) tracks used on tanks, construction equipment and certain other off-road vehicles. Unlike the Kegresse tracks which use a flexible belt, caterpillar tracks are made of a number of rigid units that are joined to each other. The tracks help the vehicle to distribute its weight more evenly over a larger surface area than wheels can, keeping it from sinking in areas where wheeled vehicles of the same weight would sink. For instance, the ground pressure of a car is equal to the pressure of the air in t ...

Blood on the Tracks is a 1975 album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. In September 1974, Dylan entered the studio with a clutch of newly written songs, many inspired by his recent estrangement from his wife of ten years, Sara Lownds Dylan. All ten songs on the album were originally recorded at New York City sessions produced by Phil Ramone. With Columbia set to release the LP, Dylan pulled back at the last minute, and at year's end re-recorded five of the ten songs in Minneapolis with a crew of area session musici ...

The 8-track cartridge is a now-obsolete audio storage magnetic tape cartridge technology, popular from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. The 8-track was created by Bill Lear in 1964 at Lear Inc. (the company of Lear Jet fame), after he heard Earl "Madman" Muntz's 1962 Stereo-Pak 4-track stereo tape system, which had been inspired in turn by the 1959 Fidelipac 3-track tape cartridge system used by radio broadcasters for commercials and jingles. The original format for magnetic tape sound reproduction was reel-to-reel audio tape ...

On unindexed media such as vinyl records, hidden tracks are generally additional tracks left off of the liner notes. Alternately, a vinyl record may be double-grooved, with the second groove containing the hidden tracks. One notable example is Tool's Opiate EP. On indexed media such as compact discs, there are additional methods of hiding tracks, such as: using an ordinary indexed track omitted from the song listing. There can also be a few short tracks of a few seconds in length in between the last named song and the hid ...

In order to describe voice tracking, an explanation of computer automation is in order, as it applies to radio. Songs, commercials, "voice tracks", and other elements of the program (the final product that comes out of your speakers) can all be stored on computer, sometimes as mp3 files. The automation program simply plays each element as required, according to a program log. Automation on radio is widespread and common. A sm ...

Salon.com critic Bill Wyman writes that "the apogee of [Dylan's] career is perhaps Blood on the Tracks. In his infrequent interviews, Dylan snaps when people ask if the record is the account of his breakup with Sara. In any case, with 15 years of fame behind him and the failure of a decade-long marriage in front of him, it is true that Dylan on this album looks at the world through blood-spattered glasses. The losses he is singing about seem fatal; his ...

A crude caterpillar track was designed in 1770 by Richard Edgeworth. The British polymath Sir George Cayley patented a caterpillar track, which he called a "universal railway" (The Mechanics' Magazine, 28 January 1826). Steam powered tractors using a form of caterpillar track were reported in use during the Crimean War in the 1850s. An effective caterpillar track was invented and implemented by Alvin Lombard, for the Lombard steam log hauler. He was granted a patent in 1901. He built the first steam-powered log hauler at the Watervill ...

A crude caterpillar track was designed in 1770 by Richard Edgeworth. The British polymath Sir George Cayley patented a caterpillar track, which he called a "universal railway" (The Mechanics' Magazine, 28 January 1826). In 1837, a Russian inventor Dmitry Zagryazhsky designed a "carriage with mobile tracks" which he patented that same year. However, due to a lack of funds he was unable to build a working prototype. As a result his patent was voided in 1839. Steam powered tractors using a form of caterpillar track were reported in use with the Western ...

In the United States, the Federal Railroad Administration has developed a system of classification for track quality. The class a track is placed in determines speed limits and the ability to run passenger trains. The lowest class is referred to as excepted track. Only freight trains are allowed to operate on this type of trackage, and they may run at speeds up to 10 mph. Also, no more than five cars loaded with hazardous material may be operated within any single train. Class 1 track is the lowest class allowing the operation of passenger trains. Freight train speeds are still limited to 10 m ...

Track needs frequent maintenance to remain in good order, the frequency increasing with higher-speed or heavier trains. This was formerly hard manual labour, including teams of gandy dancers who used levers to force rails back into place on steep turns, correcting the gradual shifting caused by the centrifugal force of passing trains. Currently, maintenance is facilitated by a variety of specialised machines. The profile of the track is maintained using a railgrinder. Common maintenance jobs include spraying ballast with weedkiller to prevent weeds growing through and disrupting the ballast. This is ...

Modern tracks are built from modular chain links which compose together a closed chain. These chain links are often broad and made of alloy steel. The links are jointed by a hinge. This allows the track to be flexible and maintain its elliptical shape. The vehicle's weight is suspended from a number of road wheels, or "bogies". Road wheels are typically mounted on some form of suspension to cushion the ride over rough ground. Suspension design is a major area of development; early designs offered only a few inches of travel using springs, whereas modern hydro-pneumatic systems allow se ...

When Blood on the Tracks was first released, critical reception was somewhat mixed. Crawdaddy reviewer Jim Cusimano disparaged the album for its "instrumental incompetence" while NME's Nick Kent described "the accompaniments [as] often so trashy they sound like mere practise takes." Rolling Stone reviewer Jon Landau, arguably Dylan's most vocal critic throughout his early career, wrote that "the record itself has been made with typical shoddiness. The accompanying musicians have never sounded more indifferent...To ...

Before television, people had always experienced comedy, whether performed live on stage, on radio, or in a movie, as part of an audience. In the early days of television, it was thought that watching recorded comedy at home alone, without hearing the laughter of other attendants, would feel odd to some viewers, and the laugh track was an attempt to reintroduce this familiar element. The man who made canned laughter what it is today was Charley Douglass (1910-2003), a sound engineer who devised the 'Laff Box'. This was a unique ...

Several TV comedy series have aired completely without laugh tracks, but in the United States these shows have been relatively few and far between. Probably the most successful show to never use a laugh track or "live" audience laughter is The Simpsons, an animated series (although the show has been known to parody canned laughter on occasion). Other animated sitcoms not using the laugh track include ...

There is some evidence of racetracks being developed in the several ancient civilisations, but the most impressive ancient racetracks were certainly the hippodrome of the Ancient Greeks and the circus of the Roman Empire. Both of these structures were designed for horse and chariot racing. The stadium of the Circus Maximus is a well-known example that could hold 200,000 spectators. Racing facilities existed during the Middle Ages and there are records of a public racecourse being opened at Newmarket in London in 1174. In 1780 the Earl ...
