Classical Guitar

Although the precise origins of the classical guitar are open to debate, there is plenty of evidence of the existence of similar instruments dating back as early as 5000 years ago. The idea of a hollow body with tensed strings anchored between two points is seen in many instruments, including the violin family, sitar, piano and harp; they all use the string’s vibrations to resonate the body and produce sounds. However, because the guitar is fretted, it allows pitch-perfect chords to be played over six strings, which differentiates it from the unfretted (and often bowed) violin family. The guitar as we know it today started to take shape during the Renaissance and Baroque period, when it was used mainly as an accompaniment. Cousins of the guitar are the mandolin, balalaika, banjo and lute. There are enough similarities between these instruments to relate them all, but to give a guitar a unique definition, it would be a six-string, fretted instrument tuned between low E (a thirteenth below Middle C) and the E two octaves above. Of course – these are merely the open-string tunings. Notes approaching two octaves above this are achievable through fretting. This tuning allows the guitar’s whole range to be represented on the treble clef, albeit with three ledger lines for the lowest notes.

Playing the classical guitar

The classical guitar is played in the seated position, the curvy shape of the body helping to keep it steady by resting on the thigh. Right-handed players fret with their left hand and pluck with their right, and the highest toned strings are nearest to the ground. If a purely rhythmic sound is required, the guitar can be played using a plectrum strummed across all or some of the strings; the plectrum can also be used to pick out monophonic melodies. More expert players will use their fingers, however. This allows very complex tunes to be played, with bass notes and melodies plating simultaneous. In the hands of a true virtuoso, it can sound to the untrained ear like several musicians are playing at once. Chords can still be played with the fingers, either by simultaneously plucking multiple strings with various fingers or stroking the strings and taking advantage of the instrument’s sustain. Playing with the fingernails gives a sharp, almost rasping sound, whereas playing with the soft front of the finger gives a softer tone.

Composers of classical guitar music

The rich history of the guitar and its forebears means that many composers have written music that can be played on a modern guitar with some degree of success. J.S. Bach is perhaps the most well known, and his many pieces written for the lute and even the cello and violin have found their way onto the classical guitarist’s repertoire. Bach was predated by Dowland and Narvaez, and his contemporary Scarlatti wrote some enduring music that works well on the guitar. In more modern times, Villa-Lobos, Rodrigo and Segovia have written music specifically to be played on the guitar, and Stanley Myers’ classical guitar theme tune to The Deer Hunter proved to be hugely popular.

The Most Redeeming Quality of Greg Reyes

My name is Jeff and I am a close personal friend of Greg Reyes. I grew up in the Bay Area and attended Stanford University where I received a BA in economics. I currently reside in Los Altos where I live with my wife and three daughters.

I met Greg about thirty years ago while attending Saratoga High School. Besides having classes together, we both played on the football team and this is where our friendship really began. Through his intensity and leadership on the field, I later realized how this carried over to his accomplishments in the business world. Though college and our careers took us in different directions for awhile, over the last eight years we have formed a very close friendship.

I have always had great admiration for Greg's success as a businessman. He is truly a leader and is greatly respected by all the people that we know. They all appreciated Greg's dedication to Brocade and respected his integrity throughout his career. Greg was focused on improving his leadership skills at Brocade. On the trips that we would take together, he would always have a book with him that pertained to leadership. He strived to help people become better at their job and to develop the best team to support him.

His business accomplishments speak for themselves, but I am most impressed on how Greg has even greater dedication and value in his family and friends. But when you think about it, some of the qualities of a good family man and friend are not that different from the attributes of a good businessman. Both require hard work, sacrifices, loyalty, and honor.

Greg is one of the most generous people that I know and is always supportive of his family, friends and community. Greg is a giver, not a taker. Besides his financial support, he truly takes a personal interest in others and always inquires about their well being. He is the type of person that you can call at anytime of the day and he would be there to help.

This entire criminal process has been a very traumatic ordeal for Greg and his entire family. I still vividly remember sitting with Greg and Penny after the verdict. We sat and cried about what had just happened and questioned how this could have ever occurred. Then I watched my friend call his son and tell him about the verdict. I have had friends and family that have passed away, including my father, but I never felt as helpless as I did that day. In death there is closure and you move on with your life. Greg and his family must continue to wonder about his fate.

Greg’s solid character and integrity are his most redeeming qualities and this criminal process has put that into question by the many that do not know this great man. Greg is a good and honorable person who has already suffered tremendously over the past few years. Please take this information from someone who truly knows Greg Reyes and realize the devastation it will have on his family in deciding his fate. Thank you for your consideration in reading this letter.

The Top Three Barbie Games

While those are fun tasks, there is much more to Barbie games than most parents realize. If you decide to bite the plastic bullet and spend an afternoon playing Barbie games with your youngster, you can expect her to be playing one of the top three Barbies games enjoyed by young girls.

Dress Up

The most common game, especially with younger girls, is a simple game of dress up. Barbies come with a huge assortment of outfits, and there is nothing more rewarding than putting together an outfit and seeing the final product on your very own Barbie doll. Children learning to dress themselves might actually use Barbie dolls as a way to practice the critical skills, but for the most part, dressing up Barbie is just plain fun.

If you want to give your child a special treat, you don't need to buy her a new Barbie doll to add to the collection. Rather than spending your money on one doll with one outfit, surprise her with five new outfits that she can mix and match for her current Barbie doll. You might just have a young fashionista in the making.

Character Play

Once your child starts developing an active imagination, you can expect to hear voices coming from her Barbies - provided by your child, of course. This game is character play where each Barbie is assigned a role, or many roles, in an unfolding drama. The Princess Barbie needs help from the Friendly Barbie to defeat the Evil Barbie in time to hop in the Barbie Jeep and pick up Ken for a hot Barbie date.

When you play with your child during this sort of Barbie game, be sure you listen and understand the game and story before jumping in. Some children become incredibly agitated when the story changes unexpectedly. You might think it's funny to add Super Barbie to the mix, but she'll likely see it as an intrusion. Rather than grabbing a doll and making a new character, get her instructions on which character you should be in the current game she's playing.

Online Barbie Games

The newest form of Barbie game takes your child online. There are countless Barbie games online that let your child dress up Barbie in more outfits than you can imagine. The latest fashions are available on websites featuring dress up games, and with new outfits and dolls added daily, it's not hard to see why spending time online with Barbie is a new favorite activity of young girls.

Playing online Barbie games is simple enough. You should let your daughter have creative control, but you can encourage even more creativity by making up a story about why the doll is wearing a particular outfit or dressing different dolls for different roles in a story she's been working on. Then you can print the completed Barbies and have custom puppets ready to take on their designed characters.

Why We Designed Our Own NAS Servers For Use In Our Data Center

Over the past few years, we at Technetium, Inc. have had the opportunity to deal with Snap because of our model 14000 Snap servers. One day we installed new managed switches and the Snap Web-based management console would no longer operate. It would just hang at gigabit speed. To make a long story short, after exhausting all of my options on the Internet, I sent Snap technical support an email to try and resolve the problem. Here is their response:

Your case, 000000000005476, was updated. Please refer to the information below for our response. Please Click here if you need additional support on this issue.

Please do not reply to this email as it will not be seen by a live representative.

Your Query:

I have 2 snap 12000s and they will not negotiate 1000tx to my Dell Powerconnect 5324 switch. I'm afraid to set the nic in debug to anything other than auto.

It also shows half duplex when the switch shows full duplex.

Thank you in advance,

Todd Foster

Our Response:

Good morning Todd.

Again this is not technical support. We can be reached on a pay-per-incident of $120.00 through our 2 numbers: 408-934-7274 and 321-207-2000.

Sincerely,
Adaptec Customer Service

To my dismay, they wanted $120 just to talk to me, and my bet is they wanted another $1,000 or so to upgrade the software. On their Website I could not find any way to buy support for this model any more. And by the way, to add replication between 2 of their Snap servers, it would cost something like $1,000 per box.

So, here we are, with 2 boxes, no support, and I'll bet that you can't even buy parts for it any more from Snap, much less anywhere else (maybe eBay?).

Off we go to buy new NAS replacements. Originally these 14000's were $10K apiece, for roughly 1TB of storage. All things being equal, I should be able to buy a NAS box for really cheap (yeah right!). What I found was that a high-quality NAS system that would do RAID 5 would cost between $3,500 and 4,500, not to mention that a 1TB Snap 520 would be over $5K. That is when we decided to build our own NAS servers!

With a great backround in PC/server hardware, it was easy for me to pick top-quality hardware and brand name components. I still have Pentium Pro servers that work! I chose the best hardware, put it in a rack mount server case, and voila! I have a NAS server. Here is the list of components:

* FreeNAS redone to work with the hardware that we provide
* Kingwin 4 in 3 Multi-Drive Bay SATA Internal Hot Swap Mobile Rack, w/ Key Lock, LED Indicator & Two 40mm Cooling Fans
* SONY Beige DDU1615 Internal EIDE 16X DVD-ROM Drive
* Enermax ELT500AWT 500W Power Supply
* 4U IPC-4071 Rackmount Chassis Server Case - Beige Color
* Transcend TS256MCF45I-D flash card
* 4 ea. Seagate(ST3500630NS)500GB SATA 3.0Gb/s 7200RPM 16MB Buff Hard drive
* Addonics ADSACFW CF to SATA adapter
* SUPERMICRO|MBD-PDSME+
* 3WARE 9650SE-4LPML SATAII RAID controller
* INTEL XEON 3060 775 2.4G 4M

Signs of Hearing Loss Must Be Consistent

Are you always wishing people would speak up or that they mumble? You may eve believe they are not speaking properly. Take a breath and realize that it could be you with the problem. You may be experiencing loss of hearing. Others may notice that you always have the volume of the television or stereo up high but to you it is normal. It may be a good idea to get a hearing test done and stop blaming it on that old equipment...

You may have grown used to asking those around you to repeat what they say. Are you regularly misunderstanding people? If you have to rely more on facial expression and body language to understand others it may be your hearing. These are very real indications of possible loss of hearing.

Have you worked regularly with firearms, in a factory or with power tools? These can be very noisy environments. If you have failed to use ear plugs there is a chance your hearing has suffered. Do you always listen to very loud music? Is the home cinema essential? All these things can take their toll over time..

Is it difficult to follow a conversation in a group? Do you find it exhausting trying to keep up? This could make you feel more nervous or stressed, in social situations, because you can't keep up with what's going on.

Is there a history of hearing problems in your family? It can be hereditary. This could mean you are susceptible. Heart, circulatory or thyroid problems could also mean you are more at risk. Diabetes can also lead to problems.

If you suffer from frequent ear infections or dizziness it might not be down to accumulated ear wax. Some problems are caused by disease as opposed to environment.

Loss of hearing can affect your work, social and family life. It is not just a health issue. If any of this seems familiar prices of hearing to you and you think you may be experiencing loss of hearing then consult your doctor. Like any other condition, the sooner it is diagnosed, the sooner it can be dealt with. Do not ignore the signs because advanced help is available.

The Ups and Downs of Downloadable DS Games

What is a DS?
The DS, or Nintendo DS, is an advanced technology apparatus that plays video games on a duel screen monitor. It is a handheld game system that allows gaming enthusiasts to bring high quality games with them when they are on the road or otherwise unable to play a counsel system. However, with the DS, has become a standalone system that has most gamers itching to try it. It was developed and produced by the Nintendo organization and was released in 2004 in multiple countries including Canada, Japan, the United States and the United Kingdom. The clamshell design is similar to the Game Boy Advance, which was the predecessor to the Nintendo DS, but the Nintendo DS has duel screens with the lower one being designed as a touch screen.

Download DS Games
Though there are some problems with downloadable DS games, they hardly outweigh the possible positives when it comes to these games. Downloadable DS games are games that can be downloaded off the wireless internet that is available for the Nintendo DS. These games are similar to WiiWare games in that they are not usually full length games, but they are still fantastically composed and capable of providing hours of gaming fun. There are even some free downloadable DS games available, but these are rarer than the purchased ones.
A few cons to downloadable DS games include the fact that the download speed is relatively poor. When downloading a game for the DS, it can take many minutes, even hours in some extreme cases. This can be more than a little frustrating for those that want to just play the game.
Another problem is that there is a possibility for an adware infiltration which can potentially do damage to the DS. However, this is only caused by poor usage of the wireless internet system.
These few cons are not enough to make the whole of the system poor. The Nintendo DS has many games online that may be downloaded on the SD card of the system. This can allow numerous downloadable games to be purchased or downloaded on a single system. The downloadable games for the DS are also very fun and very addicting. They can provide just as much if not more fun that any retail game for the DS or a consol alike. Once the games are downloaded there are usually no problems with operation.

Is Hypnosis A Circus Act?

‘Mind over matter’ – this is hypnotherapy in a nutshell. Employing hypnosis to treat an illness began in ancient Egypt and India where music and religion were used to induce trance. In modern times, when people began to look outside the pail of conventional medicine for solutions, the use of the mind for treatment became a powerful procedure in itself.

The most simplistic form of hypnotherapy is seen in the common placebo effects.

Placebos lull patients into a false belief that they are taking powerful drugs while they are actually taking dummy medications.Surprisingly however, patients get well just because their minds convince them that the medicine will work.

Practitioners of hypnotherapy believe that when patients enter the hypnotic trance, their subconscious mind is more receptive to positive suggestions. These positive suggestions in turn help to cure the patients.

Hypnosis has been defined as an altered state of consciousness where the mind is fully alert but chooses not to react. In normal human beings the sub conscious mind is normally out of reach. All our negative and positive emotions are stored religiously in the subconscious mind. We neither know what is happening there nor can we control it; which is ironic because it is the subconscious mind that controls more than 70% of our actions. The conscious mind always acts as a translucent window that separates us from the subconscious mind.

Hypnotherapy allows a doctor to gain access to the powerful subconscious mind. The doctor then proceeds to uncover the mysteries and putrefying secrets that lie at the root of the problem. The first part of treatment deals with uncovering and unraveling the cause behind the problem.

Once the cause is known the second part of the treatment starts. The doctor places certain positive suggestions that work continuously in the sub conscious mind of the patient. These suggestions enable patients to overcome their will and scale heights they previously believed were impossible.

As Hypnosis deals with the mind, hypnotherapy is usually used to cure maladies that are brought on by some weaknesses of the mind, like obesity, addiction, anorexia, smoking, anxiety, stress, phobias and amnesia. Disorders like the Irritable Bowel Syndrome, sleep apnea and even cancer have been known to get better under the influence of hypnotherapy. This is the power of positive suggestion at its best.

The amazing success of hypnotherapy in curing people of addiction, stress and phobia shows just how effective and quick the results of hypnosis can be. “The therapeutic effects of 8 years of persistent meditation can be gained from just three sessions of hypnotherapy”, says Dr. Spinovsky, the director of a US-based Hypnosis institute.

While hypnotherapy is effective and quick, the time taken to affect a cure really depends on the readiness of the patient. Contrary to what most people believe, the mind under hypnosis is still alert and very much in control. Unless the patient is willing to accept a change or let go of harmful and regressive thoughts, the doctor is helpless. Undoubtedly, the mind has the power to heal the body and when the mind is willing to cooperate, the body is able to heal itself.

The Essential of Good Psychic Readings

There are many questions that can arise in a person's life that cannot be easily answered with the standard methods of a physical reality. Matters of the spirit in particular require seeking into that area of our existence that is called the soul. For one who is not confident in their own intuitive abilities there is the option to acquire a psychic reading from a person more experienced with the psychic phenomena.

Finding a competent and, above all, real psychic is essential to gaining a useful understanding of these matters. Because psychic ability cannot be measured in a scientific way, finding the true psychics among the charlatans and confidence artists can be difficult. There are a few ways to determine if the results of a psychic reading can be trusted as useful information.

A true psychic will at once focus on your problem, not on how much they are hoping to be paid for their efforts. While the trappings of the mystic can help set a mood for accessing the psychic levels of understanding, they are not a necessary element. A psychic of real ability can divine as easily from a saucer of ink-stained water as an expensive crystal ball. Whether the psychic you choose seeks their answers from tarot cards, runestones or even a trance state meditation, the interpretation they offer should be clear and understandable. Someone who goes on about "signs and portents" or uses scare tactics to warn you about things only they can shield you from are most likely making it up as they go along.

Life is not always safe and a true psychic will tell you if the reading shows a danger in your future. However, the true psychic will attempt to direct you to an understanding of how you can correct the situation. A true psychic understands they are only a tool for you to improve your own life and condition by pointing out things you may have not seen for yourself. A true psychic reading should inform you of how a situation was created to bring you to this point and offer options for how to resolve it. No psychic should tell you what to do.

It is essential that a good psychic reading be presented in ideas and terminology that you can understand and can relate to. When you get a psychic reading, you should be allowed to ask questions about the results. A true psychic knows they are acting somewhat as a psychiatrist in that they help you use the information gleaned from the psychic reading to take control of your own actions regarding the matter at hand. A true psychic reader will help you do this in a way that makes you feel comfortable about your own decisions.

Realtime Court Status - Gregory Reyes Trial

We are writing tins letter in reference to Mr. Greg Reyes. Our association with Greg began as a business relationship. We are a local general contracting firm that has been building/developing homes throughout the Peninsula for nearly forty years During those years there have been few clients that we truly consider friends, and we proudly consider the Reyes' a part of that select list.

We first met Greg and Penny Reyes in the early part of2000 when they happened upon a home site we were developing. We entered in to contract to build their home shortly thereafter. Our initial meetings with Greg were cordial and as design progressed our interaction was somewhat limited, as is the case with many of our clientele. However over the course of the project we had the opportunity to spend some time with Reyes' both on a business and personal level. Behind the corporate executive we found a sincere family man. Greg is a loving husband and father and to place him behind bars would not only devastate the family, it would be an injustice.

If you've ever been involved in construction of a new home, you'd understand how emotional and very personal the process can be. We were fortunate enough to have been entrusted with that responsibility for Greg and his family. After having worked with many Silicon Valley executives, we can safely say that Greg was among the fairest and most reasonable we have encountered to date. A prime example of that occurred when we were nearing completion of their home. A nearly catastrophic accident took place that injured a worker and delayed the completion of their home. Greg's immediate concern was not the damage that his home sustained nor the delays that would occur as a result but the condition of everyone involved. The Reyes' moved in a few weeks later than ' planned without a word of dismay or dissatisfaction only relief that no one was seriously injured.

BTE HEARING AIDS

Behind the ear, also known as BTE, hearing aids are far and away the most commonly used type of hearing aid. These hearing aids are also what most people picture when hearing aids are mentioned. The electronics which make a BTE hearing aid function are housed in a plastic case which fits behind the ear and has a tube that connects it to an ear mold which fits in the ear canal.

They are designed to accommodate the entire spectrum of hearing losses, from the mild to the severe. Although they are more conspicuous then hearing aids that fit entirely in the ear canal, they have a number of benefits that appeal to a wide variety of hearing impaired individuals. In addition, BTE hearing aids come in a number of sizes, shapes and colors. So some behind the ear models are much less conspicuous then others.

Since behind the ear hearing aids are larger then their completely in the canal, or CIC, counterparts, they can more easily house a bigger amplifier and much stronger battery and therefore may be especially beneficial to individuals with a more severe hearing loss. BTE hearing aids are also rather versatile in that they come in the most traditional analog style as well as in the recently popularized digitally powered style of hearing aids.

When budgetary constraints are an issue, behind the ear devices definitely win out over hearing aids which fit completely in the ear canal. Due to their larger size, other groups of people to whom BTE hearing aids have more appeal then CIC models include the elderly, arthritis sufferers and others with fine motor control disabilities and related issues.

Finally since CIC models necessitate the wearing of a heavier device in the canal then just the lightweight ear mold attached to BTE hearing aids, there tends to be less ear canal irritation with the former.

In the late 1800s the first commercially manufactured hearing aids were patented and became available to the public. The first behind the ear hearing aids came on the scene over fifty years ago.

Prior to this, hearing aids were basically amplifiers worn somewhere on the body and these were heavy and expensive, due in part to rapid battery consumption. With the advent of the smaller junction transistor in 1952, widespread BTE hearing aid use became more of a reality.

Due to improvements in the technology of circuitry,1964 saw another boom in use of BTE devices and the use of body worn hearing aids dropped to less then twenty percent. By 1972 prototypes for hearing aids which could be programmed to a variety of listening situations, were being created. The following twenty years showed continued improvements and advances in hearing aid technology.

Volume controls were added to most behind the ear devices in the 1990s and digital hearing aids started appearing in the mid nineties. There has been continued new arrivals in the hearing aid world since then such as remanufactured hearing aids, disposable hearing aids and over the counter hearing aids. Who knows what the future of behind the ear hearing aid technology holds, the possibilities are endless.

Lotto Outside The United States

Since only United States citizens are allowed to play in the US lotto’s, you may think you are out of luck if you are not a US citizen. Fortunately, you still have opportunities to win big. You can either use an agent within the US to play US lotto’s or there are some great lotto’s available outside the US, like the Liechtenstein lotto. This lotto is open to everyone, even US citizens.

Win Big with Lotto

If you would like to play the lotto in the United States, but aren’t a US citizen, you will need to hire an agent to do so. Basically you give the agent the money to play in the lotto and if you win, he gives you the money. Sounds great! But how many people can you really trust to give you the money, if your ticket wins big? Not many! Since you aren’t a US citizen, you can’t make a complaint about it either. So you can easily be out a lot of money.

The safer route for playing lotto is to play in lotto outside the US. The best one that I’ve found is the Liechtenstein lotto. The great thing about it is that you can play online and cut out the middlemen that would otherwise come between you and the lotto company. So if you win, the money wouldn’t be transferred through anyone else’s hands before it gets to you.

In the Liechtenstein lotto, you are guaranteed a jackpot of five million Euros. This is great if you are interested in winning it big, rather than dealing with the little lotto’s. To play in the Liechtenstein lotto, you only need to pay one Euro or a dollar and you can play weekly if you want. By going to the website you can view the drawings, so that you know instantly if you win.

Another great benefit of playing in the Liechtenstein lotto is that you don’t have to pay any taxes on your winnings, because it is state run. Since the Liechtenstein lotto is open to nearly everyone, they have made it easier for people to play by allowing you to pay and play with Euros’, US money, or Swiss Francs. If you are hesitant about playing the Liechtenstein lotto because you aren’t sure if you can trust that you will get your winnings, you can easily put your mind at rest. Ernst and Young, the most famous accountants in the world, monitor the Liechtenstein lotto drawings to guarantee that it is run properly and no one gets cheated. You can even contact them, if you need added reassurance before playing. Gert Gambell did just that.

If playing the Liechtenstein lotto hasn’t got you excited yet, you may be happy to know that Liechtenstein lotto supports the Red Cross! They make it possible for winnings to be donated to the Red Cross and they also have a place for you to donate money to the Red Cross as you are playing the lotto. The site ALSO gives a percent of the money they collect to the Red Cross! So even if you aren’t big on lotto, you are helping a much needed organization.

There are a number of games on the Liechtenstein lotto website that have electronic draws, but only the main Liechtenstein lotto has a filmed draw. If you are interested in accessing the lotto game, all you need to do is click on “GoLotto.” So, check out the Liechtenstein lotto now and have a chance at winning big, while supporting the Red Cross. It is easy and fun at the same time.

A Note to US Citizens

If you live in the US and want to play Liechtenstein lotto, you can’t give a US address. If you are planning to visit Europe, you can give the address of the place you will be staying at and play before your trip.

Installing stairlifts

Installing a stairlift into the home is a complex and skilled task and should only be tackled by a trained professional who will ensure a correct fit and user safety.

A stairlift basically consists of two elements;

1) The Track -Straight or Curved rail leading up the stairs.
2) The Powered Chair - Comprising of a seat, footrest, armrests and control unit mounted on the track.

Prior to instillation the majority of stair lift companies will complete a survey to evaluate the environment that the stairlift will be fitted prior to confirming the final quotation.

As part of this survey the engineer will assess the condition of the stairs as the track or rail will be secured to it and so will be subject to the weight of stairlift and the user.

If the stairs are sound the first stage of an installation is to lay the track on the side of the stairs which offers the best access and user experience (normally discussed with customer during the site survey). A track is normally fixed to the stairs by using brackets screwed directly into the stair tread (the top of the stair). The track can be supported entirely by brackets or rest on the stairs themselves depending on the make and model. A track is normally supplied by the manufacture in smaller sections which are connected by the engineer to complete the installation.

When the track has been successfully installed the motor is generally installed next and the wiring work is completed.

Finally the seat is simply attached to the track and the motor and the stairlift will be ready for testing by the engineer.

A curved stairlift causes a more intensive installation as the track is required to follow the curves of the wall. Generally curved stairlifts are considerably more expensive to purchase due to increased installation time and more complex engineering required within the product.

A standard straight stairlift can normally be fitted in 1-2 hours depending on specification.
