Having Sales PMS?
Having Sales PMS? Yes, that's right PMS! Actually I'm quite fond of PMS. In reality, I have PMS all over the place: in the air, when I fly my airplane; in the gym when I workout; in the wide open spaces while mountain biking for a long ride. I have PMS for my sales training company, and most important, I have PMS each and every time I go home to see my beautiful wife and partner, Pilar! PMS keeps me safe and proficient when flying my airplane. When weightlifting, PMS provides me with physical and mental strength. When mountain biking, PMS supports my lean, fit body. Professionally, PMS for my sales training company keeps me focused and my revenues high. And at home . . . my PMS gets me out of the...
You've heard a lot about rhythm and blues, but it's the bass that makes you want to dance. It's the thumpa-thumpa that gets your groove on, your head bobbing up and down and your feet a-tapping. Indeed, it's all about the bass - the lower notes that give guitar music the texture and body. In a band, it's the bass player that closes the gap between tempo and harmony. That's from endless years of practice perfecting the craft, which beginners can learn from bass guitar chords. Hearing bass? If you have heard the songs of Metallica (who hasn't?), you've definitely heard the heavy tones that prop up all throughout, giving them that distinctive sound that only Metallica can offer. Finally, bassists have...

The bass guitar is both the pivot and the drive of manypop, rock and jazz groups. Most times the bass is whatholds it all together, but then sometimes it just emergesfrom the mix and seems to pulse through your whole body. The bass is one of the most emotive instruments around. While the bass is versatile, the instrument tends totake a backseat in a group. Few group leaders play thebass. Take Paul McCartney, who's a bassist predominantly. Also, Thin Lizzy's Phil Lynott covered bass duties and Level 42's Mark King is the singer and bassist. However,these examples defy the rule. The role of the bassguitar in a band in comparison to a regular guitar isvery different since most bass guitars are...

This is a new line of electric guitar string from the Gibson Guitar co. called Gibson Gear, Elgin, Illinois U.S.A. It's new to me... I've written articles calling the Gibson electric guitar string "the best" actually; they're my favorite electric guitar strings. Like I've said before, "I've used most of the major string brands and I play all the time. Also, I know it's been said time and again "that guitar strings have so much in common that there's no discernable difference between the various brands of strings". I can understand this sentiment, yet I've come to understand a few things regarding the manufacturing and the elements involved making the string do what it does. Things like, cover to...
How Thoughts Create Matter
Did you ever have the feeling right before something good happened, that you knew it was going to happen? Most people don't understand it, and think it's ESP or something like of that nature. In the book Think And Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill, he says - "...thought, backed by strong DESIRE, has the tendency to transmute itself into its physical equivalent." Very Powerful stuff! As I like to say, "Matter is Merely Materialized Thought...So What Are You Thinking?" Many people have asked me what that means, so here's an explanation... Back in 1937 when Napoleon Hill published his book Think And Grow Rich, he knew something very powerful but, I'm not certain the science behind it was so well understood...

Gibson Guitars: Explorations in Innovation
The tradition of quality associated with Gibson guitars dates as far back as the late 1800s when Orville Gibson started the company with his skill and interest in the guitar. Probably one of the keys to the success of the company then and now is its tangent for innovation. This innovation continued through economic hardship, which saw the introduction of the L-5, ES-150, electric guitar. While the company originated as a manufacturer of mandolins and guitars, it was the design of the ES-150, the company's first electric guitar that hailed them to the top of the list of guitar manufacturers.

Classical Guitar Tablatures

The Three Requirements of Good Golf - Lesson 1
Lesson 1 I think I can most readily explain the requirements of good golf by relating the case history of one of my pupils, whom I shall call "D.M." When D.M. joined our Bel-Air golf club his handicap was 10. After three months play over this exacting course with its narrow fairways, D.M.'s handicap went to 13. This disturbed him considerably because he had a cerÂtain pride in his game, so he approached me with this comment: "Joe> I guess I am going to have to take some lessons." "Well," I answered, "you don't have to talk that way about the lessons, I am not selling castor oil on the lesson tee." When we got to the lesson tee, I asked D.M. to take a few practice swings, and then I had him hit a...

How To Become A Private Investigator
If you think you can put on the deerstalker hat, shrug in the oversize coat and hold the magnifying glass to your right eye and already have the spirit of Sherlock Holmes with you, better think again. Becoming a private investigator is not a joke. It is a pretty dangerous job that requires a lot of skill and a scent for danger if need be. Of course not every job is dangerous. In fact, some private investigators lead oh so boring lives. Instead of gallivanting around town in pursuit of a murderer, others just do background checks, file for missing persons resort and tag along spouses that are doing their extra-spousal activities. In short, not everything is about murder. Still, whether the assignment...
We often think we pretty much know enough to explain nearly everything; such has been the amazing speed of advances in scientific discovery. But when it comes to energy and matter even Einstein got many things wrong and even the greatest scientific minds ever still have not gotten what's really happening with matter and energy explained, so why should natural carp food and it's detection really be any different? Because we are evolving as humans we feel we are at our peak of knowledge and understanding. But the more we discover just shows what a tremendous amount there is yet to be learnt. For example, there is the great debate about the origins of man because there has never been a 'missing link...
There was always something a little risky in attempting to continue that venerable British sci-fi franchise, Doctor Who. Reviving a show that has run since the early sixties and gathered millions upon millions of loyal followers can be a dangerous business. Done correctly, though, it can be very profitable. So, when BBC Wales announced in 2003 that they intended to revive Doctor Who, fans met the news with concern and excitement in equal measures. The Doctor had enjoyed only one full-length screen outing since the show was cancelled in 1989 - the Fox Network's TV movie starring Paul McGann as the eighth Doctor - and poor ratings left little doubt that the franchise was truly dead and buried. So...

Because hypoglycemia can effect your driving performance (even modestly low blood sugar can do this), if you are at all prone to hypoglycemia, I personally would strongly recommend you check out your blood sugar level each time you are about to drive. Prior to you putting the key in the ignition, test your blood sugar. There are some great glucometers out there, like the Accu-Check Compact with the Accu-Check Multi-clix lancet pen. The Accu-Check Compact has a 17 strip drum inside so you don't have to take any extra strips with you. The Accu-Check Multi-clix lancet pen has a drum that automatically holds 6 lancets within the pen to use quickly and easily. Again, you won't have to bring any lancets...
I used to work for a psychic hotline and techies did call me, believe it or not. Most techies don't call psychic hotlines, but it's obvious they still believe in ESP. They believe that the non-techies learn technical knowledge just by contacting a techie, even though the techie does not actually explain anything. The techie thinks they just have to mumble something, and the non-techie of course understands it. Because the techie themself understands what they mean to say. What is that but a practicing belief (an unconscious assumption) in thought transferance? That must explain why so many techies do not feel they have to explain technical problems and solutions to non-techies using mere spoken or...
COMES NATURALLY #114 (September 21, 2001) Copyright © 2001 David Steinberg SILENCING THE BODY ELECTRIC "The more things change, the more they stay the same." -- French adage You'd think we were back in the stagnant 50's, the way people still get all worked up whenever a little playful nudity shows up on the landscape of daily life. After fifty years of radical confrontation and expanded social consciousness around a thousand different aspects of sex, sexual orientation, and gender, it would seem that something as harmless a little bare skin would simply be too insignificant to show up on social crisis radar screens, even among folks a good deal more conservative than you and I. Well, nice thought...
How To Restring An Electric Guitar
For a newbie, this may seem a little intimidating. But with the right tools, a little knowledge and some practice, you'll be able to restring an electric guitar like a professional guitar tech. When I was gigging regularly, I would restring my guitar every week. My body chemistry is acidic and the sweat and oils from my hands would tend to dull the brightness of the strings as well as make them feel "dirty". For me, the bright sound and smooth feel of a new set of strings would inspire my playing. It became a ritual for me the night before the weekend's gigs started. I would sit in front of the TV and restring my electric guitar; my acoustic was much less frequent. OK, so you've decided you don't...

Crossing the Musical Generation Gap
Twice now, in the past year, I have packed my Martin acoustic guitar, headed over to two different friends houses where, in each house, there was a 14 year old guitar player. In one case it was a 14 year old girl, the other a 14 year old boy. The girl was still wearing braces, the boy was about 6 feet, a thick head of long hair, curly at the ends and very sultry looking. One house housed, in addition to the teenager, a Fender Stratocaster, in the other house, in addition to the teenager, was an Ibanez electric guitar. I discovered early on in the attempt to jam with a person more than 40 years my junior, that the Generation Gap was a very large gap. There I was playing nice open chords in the key of...
