Learn to Control the Guitar and Mute That Unwanted String Noise
Students often ask me how to avoid unwanted string noise when playing the guitar. This is particularly problematic when playing with unforgiving amounts of distortion. The problem becomes even worse at high volume as the amplifier interacts with the guitar causing feedback. The best way to overcome this problem therefore is to practise with loads of distortion so the mistakes are more obvious and at reasonable volume, allowing of course for your neighbours! (and watch out for your hearing!) If you can't practise at high volume, that's ok. Just practise with distortion and VERY, VERY SLOW. The techniques involved in muting unwanted string noise are to some extent learned subconsciously by practising...

Playing the Cello Can Be For You
I dropped music from my life for 47 years, while I taught English and raised my family. Although I missed music intensely, I said, like many other people, that I had no time for music making. What I really meant was, "I don't have time to practice enough. I can't play as beautifully as I would like to. So I am quitting this field totally." Only in my 60's, after I retired from my job as a teacher of English, did I go back to studying and playing the cello. Hearing that I've gone back to playing music, people often say, "Oh, I love the sound of a cello! I wish I could do that. But I KNOW I can't." Music is absent from their lives. Listening to their sad voices, I feel very sorry for them and very...
When traveling in Colorado the best place to visit is the Royal Gorge Bridge in Canon City. This is the world's highest suspension bridge and it also has the highest deck to surface clearance of any other bridge in the world. The bridge is located in a park combined of 360 acres that hangs an amazing 1,053 feet over the Arkansas River. Two other rivers, the Rio Grande and the Denver, flow under the bridge as well at the base of the Gorge. At only 18 feet wide and 880 feet long this bridge doesn't appear big until you start walking on it. Then, the width seems increasingly smaller and the length seems to go on forever. The walkway is comprised of more than 1000 wooden planks and it is hard not to...

Play-doh - Bridging the Generation Gap
There are few toys which can bridge the generation gap between parents, grandparents, great grandparents and children like Play-Doh can. Since Play-Doh was created in 1956 it has been a bridge for generations of family members by providing a crafty entertainment value for people of all ages. The non-toxic formula for Play-Doh was discovered completely by accident whilst its inventors Noah and Joseph McVicken were attempting to create wallpaper cleaner. Although the exact makeup of Play-Doh is kept as a trade secret, ingredients include wheat flour, water, salt, coloring and perfume for that good old Play-Doh scent. Although Play-Doh is not edible it is non-toxic making it the perfect choice as a...
Easy Guitar Playing Lessons
If you have a six-string, a pick and a solid but comfortable armless chair, you are ready for some easy guitar lessons. Here are some of the basic things you should learn. Know your instrument. The topmost portion of your guitar is called the head or the headstock. This is where you well find the tuners, which are used to adjust the pitch of the six strings. The long part attached to the head is the neck. Down the neck is the body of the guitar. If you are using a classical or acoustic guitar, you will find a sound hole in the middle. This serves to project and amplify the sound. Electric guitars, on the other hand, do not have holes. Instead, they have pickups, which intensify the sounds coming...
Guitar Lessons - Change What Your Doing to Make Progress Again
The reason why most people who try to play the guitar and are not "up to snuff" is that they give too easily. The problem with these people is that they tend to think that there is something wrong with them and why they simply cannot get the strings to sound right. In reality, falling short in learning to play the guitar is not based on the capability of the person but more on the kind of style he is using. If he is trapped in a certain level of progress in guitar playing, it should likewise not be blamed on the person but on the kind of approach that he used. When things like these happen, the only way to get going is to change the style to achieve remarkable results. In fact, 8 out of the 10...
HISTORY OF GIN RUMMY-1
When G in Rummy suddenly surged to the front in 1938,most dic-toinries and almost all Bridge Writers jumped toi the conclusion that the game was an entirely new form of Rummy. Mostpresent-day Bridge writers and game authors erroneously credit a New York Bridge expert withthe invention of Gin Rummy in 1909. The truth is that game-rule books published in the early 1000s describe a game called Gin Poker which is almost identical to the present Gin Rummy. As for the origin of Gin Poker, insome other country there may be obscure records of some very early game resembling our Rummygames but failing that, my opinion is that the origin of the Rummy games was Whiskey Poker;a peculiarly American variant of...
The Can't Lose Craps System
Ah, so you're interested in a craps system that can't lose? Well, there is no such system, but today I'll share with you a craps system that's pretty darn close. In fact, there's only one roll where you "could" lose. After that it's money in the bank. Warning: If you like high-paced action and make you sweat types of wagers, this isn't for you. To make a system for playing craps very safe, we have to get very conservative. Still interested? Okay, let's go. I'd recommend playing this system with larger units. Playing $5 or $10 units isn't going to accomplish much of anything. It's a decent way to get used to the system, but after that, step it up some. You'll see why soon enough. This craps system is...
How To String A Classical Guitar
When changing the strings on a classical guitar it is best to change one string at a time. It is not good for the neck of the guitar to have a sudden release of tension and then to have it applied forcefully later. This can lead to distortion of the neck and permanent damage. As well as this, never tune the string more than a tone above its normal pitch. You can tune it a little sharp (for example, one semitone above normal concert pitch) as this can make the guitar a little 'brighter' to play. Tune it any higher and you risk breakage. Never put steel strings on a classical guitar. It is not constructed to take this exertion and it is easily damaged (the neck can break away from the body). To...

Online Poker Bots - Threat or Not?
Introduction Online games from chess and backgammon to 1st person shooters are rife with people who use computer assisted play or computer robots - even when there is no money at stake. With the appropriate program any player is able to play at a world championship level ruining the game for honest players.

MOVING TO CANADA IS A JOKE...The Economic, Military, and Social Integration of North America
Eh? I can think of scores of reasons to move to Canada (or opt for the Mexican Riviera) . . . any place but Babylon the Great: The USA. The War in Iraq . . . or better yet: The entire Military-Industrial Complex sucking the life-blood out of Americana for starters (Witness the latest revelations on "Operation Able Danger"-see below). Or, how about the whole hedonistic culture of greed, avaricious appetites, and super sizing all things godly and ungodly-from Hollywood to Mega Churches; indeed, ours is a "city set on a hill which cannot be hid" but the closer you get to this glittering jewel, the more it resembles the "Little Shop of Horrors," you know, that flesh-eating plant crying out: Feed...

Pianos: what to look for when purchasing one.
The piano as we all know is a big and bulky musical instrument played through a keyboard; however what most of us may not know is how it produces sound; by striking steel strings with small hammers made out of felt and after a rebound of these hammers the strings continue to vibrate at peak amplitude and frequency (or their resonant frequency). The vibrations from the steel strings are then amplified by the soundboard through a bridge (a device which supports the steel strings) producing sound. The piano is and has been increasingly used in various countries including Australia and other western countries as part of a solo performance, chamber music, accompanying other musical instruments or as a...
A Day At Legoland California
On a recent trip to San Diego with my five year old daughter, I was in for a pleasant surprise in the form of Legoland California. I've known about the Legoland theme park for a few years and, on a recommendation from a good friend of mine, decided to give the place a try. What a good decision it was because for any family with children under the age of ten, a day at Legoland is something that shouldn't be missed. I took more pictures of my daughter during our visit to Legoland California than I did at Disneyland and The San Diego Wild Animal Park combined. Legoland is divided into eight different areas, each with their own theme, featuring rides and attractions that are on a Lego scale. And...

Highlights of San Francisco
We visited San Francisco last October. First time either of us had been there and we quickly fell in love with the place. Our hotel was the Grand Hyatt in Union Square, providing an ideal location for sightseeing and we felt close to the hustle and bustle of the city. We already had read a number of pocket guide books so were keen to do the "must-see" sites as soon as possible. Our stay was for 6 nights. We had originally considered doing 3 nights in the city then 2 days in Las Vegas but opted for all 6 nights here. We were glad we did as this proved to be a wonderful city. Our first surprise was the weather. We had lovely sunshine throughout the week, very different to the cold damp conditions we...
Fleeting Visit to Taj Mahal
In my capacity as the UK Director of Operations for One World Tours Limited, I am often asked about the destinations I have been to and how it all began in the first place. 10 years ago I embarked on my second trip around the world and I suppose you could say that this is where it truly all began.

Having decided with my sponsors the airlines and a chain of leading world-wide hotels it was decided that the Seven Wonders of the World were the Taj Mahal, the Great Wall of China, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Golden Gate Bridge, The Empire State...

When is a Software Engineer Not a Software Engineer?
The title of "software engineer" has got to be among the most highly abused in the corporate high-tech world. It's also one of the most popular. And why not? It sounds a lot better than "computer programmer," and it looks much better on one's business card. Unfortunately, it's often inaccurate. Engineering is, after all, the application of sound technical principles to develop systems that are robust, efficient and elegant. I've found that a great many software engineers can develop working programs, but do little or no real engineering design. Does this sound harsh? Perhaps, but I've also found it hard to deny. I've encountered very few software engineers, for example, who have clean, crisp...

The Grand History of Poker
The history of poker has been debated heavily over the years. Today, it is a wildly popular game, but its origins are not known by many. It is likely that the name "poker" came from the French word "poque," which evolved out of the German word "pochen" (which means "to knock"). However, some historians doubt that the origins of poker are the same as those games bearing similar names. The Persian game "as nas" is very similar to poker. The Persian game may have been taught to the French settlers in New Orleans by Persian sailors. Additionally, poker has been connected with the game "primero" which was popular in the Renaissance. Bluffing was incorporated in the English game "brag." An English actor...
