Signs Meril held up a linen napkin. “Chartreuse?” she said, waving it in front of Harriet’s face. “Huh? That’s what chartreuse looks like?” She pushed a lock of long red hair behind her ear. “No, thanks.” She looked back at the lake. Meril’s sigh was long. “Hair, you have to make these decisions. Your wedding is in five weeks.” With a quick turn of her wrist, Harriet waved her best friend away. “This is just cold feet. It’s natural. Everyone gets a little . . . unsure before the big day.” Meril

I dipped my feet in as the water splashed it my face. The wind was calm but the current was strong and fast. When the current kicked in, it hit some rocks and all the water came splashing towards me. The water was everywhere. As a little kid, when my mom and dad didn 't have to work so much, we would spend hours sitting at the edge of the grass dipping our feet into the river. We would have picnics and go fishing but that’s when I was young and now it feels like my family is splitting apart.

The most memorable vacation I’ve had is when I went to Hawaii. When my parents told me where we were going, I knew it would be my most unique trip. We usually go on a vacation every few years to somewhere that's warm during Minnesota’s winter. Because of Hawaii’s warm climate, It was one of the best choices. Out of the five days we stayed there, one specific day became the crowning moment of the whole trip for me. Even though the trip would be a long eleven hour flight, I knew it would be worth it

vibrations moving in the air they are called traveling longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves allow us to hear. By allowing us to hear, it allows high and low pressure to form called compression and rarefaction. What behaviors do air vibrations cause? They cause a Standing wave. A standing wave is the result of the wave reflecting off the end of the tube and interfering with itself. Vibration inside a tube forms a standing wave. When sound is produced in an instrument by blowing into it, allows

Have you ever gone 20ft in the air and flipped over while tubing with a crazy driver behind the wheel? My favorite thing to do while I’m boating is Wakeboarding. I also love to go tubing (it usually depends on who is driving though). These are my favorite things to do while boating. Because I like boating, I like to go Wakeboarding(complex). I like Wakeboarding because it is just like riding my ripstick, but on water(compound). I love when the water sometimes splashes up in your face, so you can’t

Surfing -- The Environment of Surfing (Part I of II) Surfing has changed since Christian missionaries observed Polynesians in the waves centuries ago. Light, new materials and a variety of board shapes have opened surfing to more people while allowing expert surfers to ride more waves in different ways. In the US, surfers can be found along the Atlantic seaboard and from Alaska to Baja on the Pacific side of the nation (and, of course, Hawaii). Choosing Your Style The first surfboards were heavy

to greatly muffle the noise and vibration generated by the passing commuter trains. According to IIT, the tube muffles the train noise noise from an average 120 dB to about 70-80 dB outside the building, about 70 dB inside the building. Sound waves are caused by disturbances in the air. These disturbances are usually caused by a vibrating object. In the case of the MTCC, the CTA train railroad is right above the MTCC. As the train is traveling along

One time I learned something about myself was when I was in California with my family. When I was about 15 years old, I was boogie boarding with my sister. While I was doing this a big wave came in and it pushed me under and I got separated from my family and my sister. I didn’t realize that I got separated from them until I decided to get out. Being separated from your family can be a stressful event but after that I learned many things about myself and how I should react in a situation like that

able to ride a wave that goes on forever. My dad on the other hand resented the idea of surfing behind a boat, as he put it “there is a certain connection that you feel when you have paddled all the way out and you are waiting for a wave to come, and then you feel the wave starting to form.” He is the type of surfer where the connection with the ocean is the most important part of
