A wine glass signed by Ron Paul and Jim Guest fetches $800 after being auctioned off during Ron Paul's appearance at the Uptown Theater in Kansas City. Who is Jim Guest? It is unconfirmed at this time, but he is likely to be Ron Paul's Vice Presidential running mate. Dave Von Kleist of The Power Hour conducted the auction.
The Bottle of Wine Glass is located somewhere on the "classy" continuum between "a passed out drunk clutching the last sips of his bottle of Nightrain" and drinking straight from the bottle. And that's exactly where we like to be.Maybe I can't smell the hints of chocolate or raspberry while swirling a fine Chardonnay. But I can put that entire bottle of self-indulgent smugness into my glass and make you pay another $75 so you can have some. And yes, I do bring my own glass to restaurants.
This is for a physics project. Here's a little more detail on the steps:Step 1: the program we used took the audio sample and used a Fourier Transform to convert it into a graph of the frequencies up to ~11,000 Hz, and their relative magnitude. The glass used in step 1 broke around 630.4 Hz, but the footage was bad so for step 3 a different glass was used, that had a resonance frequency of around 592 Hz.Step 2: if you're around (+/- .5 Hz) the resonance frequency of the glass and if the amplitude of the sound (AKA volume) is loud enough (we used earplugs), you'll see the rim of the glass waving like that.Step 3: we basically repeated step 2, except with a higher amplitude of the sound.I should also mention that the bright light you see in the video is a strobe light, going at about 590-600 flashes per second (4 Hz higher than the sound), each flash lasts 10 microseconds. You can't see the movement of the glass without some sort of strobe light or way of slowing down the movement, because the glass was oscillating nearly 600 times per second. If you have any questions feel free to post them and I'll answer.
1. Please don't mind my bad english.2. This is the second part of my vine glass tutorial in which I'm going to show you how to use ''lathe'' and how to create realistic glass material.3. Feel free to watch some vids of my band playing easy rock - pop rock (lirics are on Croatian), just search for: ''nea demo band'' on you tube.
Aristedes Mikelatos is the first person to balance 2 wine glasses on top of each other on his head that I know of. Watch for more of this amazing young man on this site ( KRUDTV )
Today Gary tackles a very important topic that many people discuss and debate at a fever pitch in the wine industry. Gary grabs two great wines and attacks this subjuct head first, please join in the discussion and let us know what you think. Also this is tell your friends thursday. Pass the WLTV word around!
