I think Haydn's 65th Symphony has the world's greatest minuet...

(you can skip ahead to 15:13 to hear the minuet, or just listen to the whole thing because it's good)



It's well know that he had a sense of humour and often had his pen in his cheek when he wrote. In this case, I picture him conducting with a huge smirk on his face, and thinking, "Dance to this, suckahs!"

I'm listening to music while I work, and Alatar's link above inspired me to go through my Youtube list. I have to share this one.

She does a cover of Back To Black that leaves every other version I've ever heard in the dust - including Amy Winehouse.

Each year I video all the matches at the judo tournament of the Show Me State Games- Missouri's version of the Olympic games. Usually we just upload all the matches separately (did that this year, too) and take still pics of the best throws. This year we decided slow motion of the throws would be more interesting and educational. So, I spent yesterday identifying all the matches that had throws good enough to win the match instantly (called an ippon) and then spent hours clipping out the throws and then doing various tweaking to make a video of all the ippon throws.

Here's the result:


With the throw slowed down, you can really see the footwork and exactly what went on with the throw. We had to get some new software for video editing, because our old program wouldn't work with Windows 10, and the new stuff is far less buggy than the last free program. :) So, amateurish, but fun to do. :)

Yeah, the way they do the brackets mixes the adult matches in with the kid matches. If they tried to work through each weight class bracket all at once, you'd have competitors having to fight again without adequate rest time in between matches. So, it's all mixed up and you get random weight/gender/age classes each time. So, cute little girls immediately followed by 200+ pound bruisers happens more often than not. :)
