...FINGER THROW. The Frisbee is held from behind, palm up, with the forefinger and middle finger against the rim. The Frisbee slides off the middle finger during a forehand snap release...

Like many another piano student, she logged the requisite thousand hours before Carl Czerny's yellow-backed exercise books.

It also led the director to question whether the people who had hired him had ever seen The Sorrow and the Pity or A Sense of Loss (about Northern Ire land), films that were neither detached nor dispassionate, and which employed the same scrupulous techniques...
