I heard a good quote from Ted Turner, "Early to Bed, Early to Rise, Work Hard and Advertise."
For the most part, I'm pretty good at the first three (especially now that my kid has to be at school at 7:30!). I'm not so great at the advertising part.

Well, I didn't proof it so IF you find mistakes, email me with something like, "HA! You messed up!"
What is it? Well, try it out and you'll see. There are lots of ways it could be improved. The original database (part of my doctoral dissertation) had other categories..things like "Building the Low Range" "Wide leaps in the High Range" "Double Tonguing" etc.
