On the other side of the world, in Mexico and South America, double course instruments, such as the bandola, tiple, cuatro were very popular.
Before amplification, the idea of doubling strings (called courses) was a method of increasing the volume of an instrument.
There were a handful of artists in the blues era that embraced the 12 string guitar, such as Blind Willie McTell, Blind Boy Fuller and the Reverend Gary Davis. This carried on to the folk era. Pete Seeger used a 12 string guitar as did Joni Collins, Barry McGuire and others.
The 12 string guitar did not become a part of rock until the Beatles came along.
Not only were the boys from Liverpool prolific songwriters, they were also consummate gear-heads.
John Lennon was known for playing his little Rickenbacker 325.
Harrison seemed to be into Gretsch gear. He played Jet Stars, Tennesseans and finally the double cutaway Country Gentleman. But the real head-turner was his Rickenbacker 360/12C63.
Back in February of 1964, The Beatles came to the USA for three concerts and to make an appearance on the Ed Sullivan show.
Francis Hall, commonly mentioned as F.C. Hall was CEO of a California company known as Rickenbacker Guitars. He had been impressed with the Beatles enormous popularity and wanted his company's instruments to be known as the Beatles guitar.
But mostly it was due to economics. Rickenbacker used the same neck blanks for their 12 string as they did for the six string. The width of each was the same, so they did not have to mill separate necks. Additionally, these guitars fit in the same size cases as the neck length for the six or twelve string was no different.

F.C. Hall was hoping that Harrison would see the display and want that guitar. Unfortunately Harrison was ill during the trip and spent most of the time in his hotel room.
Since the Beatles did not see the display, Hall took a Rickenbacker prototype guitar; a 360/12 model to George Harrison. Hall was able to find the hotel where they were staying. Harrison loved it . So George received the second 360-12 ever made.
When I saw the Byrds with McQuinn playing his Rickenbacker 360/12 on the Ed Sullivan show, I wondered how he got that sound out of what appeared to be a six string guitar (due to Rickenbacker's unique headstock and tuner arrangement.) Subsequently McQuinn became better known for his 370/12 - 3 pickup model.
The Rickenbacker 360/12C63 became one of Harrison's go-to guitars. It was featured on Beatles songs such as I Should Have Known Better, You Can't Do That and A Hard Days Night. It was also prominently featured in the Beatles Hard Days Night movie. Harrison played it on the Rubber Soul and Revolver albums.
Besides the previous reasons I have sighted for making the Rickenbacker 360/12C63 unique, there are a few more that result in it's unique chiming tone.
The string courses on all Rickenbacker twelve string models are reversed from the usual order of having the higher octave string as the 12th, 10th, 8th and 6th string.
On a Rickenbacker the lower octave string is the 12th, 10th, 8th and 6th string and the 11th, 9th, 7th and 5th strings are the higher octave with the 4th, 3rd, 2nd and 1st strings being in unison on each instrument.
A Rickenbacker 360/12 uses two Rickenbacker special design pickups, commonly known as toaster-top pickups due to the appearance of the covers looking like a bread toaster. Early on it was a noted anomaly that one Rickenbacker pickup may over-power another when both were switched on, so a blender or mixer control, commonly referred to as the fifth knob, was added to balance the sound. Additionally on Rickenbacker 3 and 6 series guitars a .0047mF capacitor is placed between the bridge pickup and the volume potentiometer.
|Toaster pickups & 5th knob
An advantage of this design is the neck can join the body at or near the last fret, since the neck is actually part of the body. There is no need for pickup routing, since Rickenbacker pickups are mounted on top of the body.
The original 1964 360/12 models featured a 21 fret neck. The flat tail-piece lasted until 1964 when it was changed to the more familiar "R" tail-piece. The guitar was produced in Fire-glow, which is Rickenbacker's term for red sunburst. In addition to the newer tail-piece, by 1965 binding was added to the sound hole and the body came with a new rounded look without the binding on the perimeter of the body's top. In 1969 the neck was changed to include 24 frets.
|Note Ric-o-sound dual jack
The Beatles use of the Rickenbacker 360/12 and later models guaranteed the popularity and success of Rickenbacker guitars. At present there is a waiting list to purchase a Rickenbacker guitar, though some major music retailers may have existing stock.
The 360/12's popularity set the stage for other major manufacturers to produce similar instruments.
Gibson created the ES 335-12 and Fender created the Fender XII. Danelectro guitars came out with a budget 12 string called the Bellzouki, which was designed by session player Vinnie Bell.
Though the Rickenbacker 360/12 not only sounds great, but has a beautiful visual appeal, there are a few complaints regarding it's design.
The other complaint is restringing the guitar. This can become an all day chore due to the fact that the strings anchor the tail-piece to the body. This complaint is even expressed by famous Rick 12 string user, Roger McQuinn on his webpage.

Mastering the Art of Conveying Confidence
Most people work hard pulling down degrees and polishing resumes in hopes of impressing hiring managers. But many neglect to master one of the most important hot buttons for employers – body language.
People rely on nonverbal cues such as posture and eye contact to evaluate others very quickly after an initial meeting, forming a first impression within 15 to 20 seconds, says Noah Zandan, president of Quantified Impressions, an Austin, Texas, communications-analytics firm. No matter how hard a person tries to perfect a presentation or job-interview answers, 90% of listeners' first impressions of a speaker remain unchanged after hearing the content of his or her message, Zandan says.
Some young adults undermine that first impression by shifting their weight from one foot to another when speaking, Zandan says. Others lean to one side and thrust their chest and one shoulder forward in what he calls "the heart posture," a pose that is common among young women in social-media photos and videos.
"It's important to avoid any body language that makes you look youthful or unintelligent, or not in full command of what's going on," says Briar Goldberg, Quantified Impressions' director of feedback.
To raise body-language awareness, Stanford University professor Deborah Gruenfeld created a class for M.B.A. candidates called "Acting with Power." The 36-student course, which teaches the use of posture and other nonverbal signals of status and authority, has had waiting lists of up to 100 students every term since it began six years ago.

Last week, MakeTechEasier collaborated with YIWO Tech Development to provide a 24 hours free download of their proprietary software – EASEUS Partition Master Professional.
As all of you know, the event did not turn out well. Due to some server issue, many of you were not able to download the software.
EASEUS has published a apology regarding this:
Apology from EASEUS to the Public for Online Giveaway Failure on Feb.27, 2009 since Hosting Crash.
EASEUS, a leading hard disk management solution provider, today announced public apology for online EASEUS Partition Master Professional Edition giveaway failure on Feb. 27, 2009 since hosting crash.
Last Friday, EASEUS established free giveaway cooperation with MakeTechEasier.com, allowing 24-hour unlimited free download of EASEUS Partition Master Professional Edition full version. MakeTechEasier.com posted an announcement of this activity on their homepage and many other big sites like LifeHacker, DownloadSquad, DSLReports, eeeuser, etc. reshipped this giveaway event.
During the first two hours of this event, there came hundreds of thousands downloads of the full version of EASEUS Partition Master Professional Edition. There were 38,000 clicks on MakeTechEasier and more than 50,000 on LifeHacker. Too many downloads caused host crash of EASEUS website. Then the giveaway activity was forced to stop and users from various sites cannot download EASEUS Partition Master Professional Edition any more. 24-hour unlimited downloads only kept 2 hours.
Below is the original email from hosting:
"The server has crashed as a result of this morning's high volume of traffic that is coming into your Web site. It looks like over 50,000 downloads have been made."
And now, we are trying to solve this kind of issue to ensure that there will be no such problems for the next giveaway activity. We are extremely sorry for the giveaway failure this time. Here, EASEUS may provide another 24-hour free download of EASEUS Partition Master Professional Edition full version once we solve this problem.
If you are still interested in downloading EASEUS Partition Master, please visit http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm to download the Home Edition which is free to home users. This product has just a little difference with EASEUS Partition Master Professional Edition. You may check the differences at http://www.partition-tool.com/easeus-partition-manager/comparison.html.
Full article can be found at send2press.com
Here at MakeTechEasier, I hope to take the opportunity to explain what really happened behind the scene.
– The free download news was first released last Friday, 27th Feb 2008, 12am (Eastern Time).
– All went well for the first half of the day. At about 11am, major sites like DownloadSquad and Lifehacker started to pick up the news and sent tons of traffice to MTE. The download site at EASEUS couldn't take the load and went down. Soon after, MTE's server also went down due to the tons of response and comments.
– After three hours (about 2pm, Eastern time) and countless of email exchange with the web host, MTE was reinstated and the download page was up and running again. However, EASEUS never recovered.
– Plenty of comments started to flood the download page. I tried to contact the developer, but to no avail. It seems that they were busy fighting the fire on their end.
– At 9pm (Eastern time), I received the reply from the developer that the site (and the link) was down, but they have fixed it and everything is back to normal. They also said that the download will be extended for another 24 hours. Upon receiving this news, I announced through the comments that the download will be extended. My first mistake – I should have checked the link before posting the comments. The link was not working as promised, and this resulted in another floodgate of comments.
– I removed the link from the download page at 10pm. I emailed the developer again, requesting them to fix the link.
– Once again, there was no response from them.
– The next day, I took the liberty to host the file on a private server and provide free download for a short limited period of time (something I shouldn't have done due to rights infringement). The download was make available for another 15 hours, but only to those who left a comment or have contacted me via the contact form.
– Two days later, I received an email from the developer explaining the story on their side. They also informed me that they will be releasing a public apology, and that is what you see at Send2press.com now.
This was the whole incident.
We didn't plan to fail, but sometimes, things just doesn't turn out the way you want it to be.
For those who have spend countless of hours trying to download the file and ended up with nothing, we would like to apologize for this unhappy event. On the other hand, I would also like to express my appreciation to those who have shown support to this event and stood by us all the way. We would not be what we are today if not for your support.
At the moment, I am still in discussion with the EASEUS developers to provide another round of free download for MTE readers. Nothing is confirmed yet, at least until both MTE and EASEUS have sufficiently prepared our server for the traffic spike. Rest assure we won't make the same mistake again.
Meanwhile, do check back often for the latest update.
For those who have missed the free download, you can still obtain the Home edition for free at http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm. This product has just a little difference with EASEUS Partition Master Professional Edition. You may check the differences at http://www.partition-tool.com/easeus-partition-manager/comparison.html.

THE ever-surprising Eric Cantona would like to coach Manchester United at some point, although the Frenchman does not expect that day to come any time soon because of Alex Ferguson's stamina and dedication to the job.
Former United great Cantona, 46, whose only coaching experience was four years with the France beach soccer team, said in an interview with ESPN to be broadcast later today, in his own way, that he would be interested in the United job.
"I would say, 'United is special, of course I would do it'. Today I'm with the New York Cosmos," Cantona, currently director of soccer at the New York Cosmos, was quoted as saying by the Daily Mirror.
"But if one day there is an opportunity, why not? Like diving from here to the sea, watching, speaking to the fish, octopus, crabs, journalists."
But the time has not come yet.
"I love to watch United winning things and I want Ferguson to be manager for ever," he said. Ferguson, who will be 71 in December, has been United's coach for 26 years.
Cantona, who played 45 times for France scoring 20 goals, won four Premier League titles in five years with United after joining from Leeds United in 1992.
After his sudden retirement in 1997, he began a career in cinema, notably starring in Ken Loach's 'Looking for Eric' in 2009.

Horror film begins production in Alamance County
Film production began last week in Alamance County on "Nevermore," a supernatural thriller that tells the story of a big city district attorney returning home to bury his deceased mother when strange things start to happen.
The film's casting director Dan Kelly said Sunday that senior citizens are still needed to play extras in the film that is being produced in Graham. Some scenes were shot on Saturday at Holly Hill Mall. Future scenes will include locations at the Graham Soda Shop on Court Square, the Alamance County Historic Courthouse, and a funeral home in Graham. A house in Graham will serve as the film's focal point where most of the scenes will be shot.
Kelly said shooting in Graham will continue for at least the next three weeks. The film was in pre-production last month through Café Oscuro Films LLC and Atlantic & Pacific Pictures LLC. It is written and directed by Alamance County native and Hollywood makeup artist Dean C. Jones. Liliana Kligman is executive producer and it is produced by Albert Dickerson, and makeup artist Starr Jones who, along with his brother Dean, created the Original Hollywood Horror Show in Snow Camp.
Starr Jones said filming will continue until at least March 6. Car crash scenes will be shot in Graham and Snow Camp in the coming weeks. There are three lead roles and 12 other actors involved in the film. Local talent is also being utilized in "Nevermore."
The film will take about nine months to edit before it is released. Jones said all of the filming will be done in Alamance County. The film will likely be distributed for release sometime in 2014.
Filming will resume Wednesday in Graham after a two-day break.
Jones said the production would add to the local economy and that the actors typically spend about 12 hours a day on set.
Kelly said the film's actors include Lance Henriksen, who starred in the "Alien" film franchise and TV show "Millennium." Actress Valerie Azlynn is also a part of the cast. Her film credits include "Constantine," "Tropic Thunder," and "Surrogates." Jason Cook, who starred in "Days of Our Lives," is also in the cast.
Kelly said the film includes local actors like William Pifer of Graham.
Senior citizens interested in auditioning as extras for background shots can contact the production office at 336-395-8827 or email email@example.com or email@example.com.

- 3/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F)
- 1 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 2 to 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 20 medium raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, and cut in 1/2 lengthwise
- 1/2 cup tequila (recommended: Cabo Wabo)
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled, crushed
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro leaves, plus extra for garnish
- 1 teaspoon grated lime zest
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 8 ounces Mexican chorizo, chopped
- Cilantro Pesto [2]
- 1 1/2 cups grated Monterey jack cheese
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cored, seeded and cut into long strips
- 1/2 medium white onion, cut into rings
- 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
- Chopped green onions, garnish
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add 2 cups of the flour and 2 teaspoons of the oil, stirring with a heavy wooden spoon to incorporate. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and pliable, yet slightly sticky, 5 minutes, adding more flour as needed 2 teaspoons at a time to prevent from sticking to the board.
- Lightly oil a large mixing bowl with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil. Place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm, draft-free place. Allow the dough to rise until nearly double in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- At least 45 minutes before baking pizza, put a pizza stone on the bottom rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
- While the dough is rising, marinate the shrimp. In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, tequila, lime juice, crushed garlic, cilantro, lime zest, pepper flakes, kosher salt, and cumin. Let marinate for no more than 1 hour. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and pat dry.
- In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium-high heat until the fat is rendered and almost completely cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Let cool.
- On a lightly floured surface turn out the dough and lightly work into a large flat disk. Let rest for 10 minutes. Pat and stretch out the dough to a 12-inch round, turning and lifting to make about 1/8-inch thick.
- Dust a baker's peel or bottom of a baking sheet with the cornmeal. Carefully transfer the dough onto the peel and reshape as necessary without pressing down hard (so the dough will come away easily). Working quickly, spread cilantro pesto across the dough to cover, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge. Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the top, then arrange the shrimp, bell peppers, onions, and cooked sausage over the top. Dot the pizza with the goat cheese.
- Line up the peel over the baking stone and slide to release the pizza. (Alternately, bake on the baking sheet.) Bake until the dough is crisp and golden brown and the cheeses are melted and bubbly, about 8 minutes. Transfer with the peel to a large cutting board. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and green onions, to taste. Cut into slices, and if desired, drizzle with additional pesto sauce.

Ted Kennedy was haunted every day by the memory of a 1969 car crash on Chappaquiddick Island that killed Mary Jo Kopechne, a young aide to his brother Robert, the late senator writes in a hotly anticipated memoir being published later this month.
Kennedy reveals in "True Compass" that his behavior after accidentally driving off a bridge – waiting 10 hours to notify police that he swam away as Kopechne drowned -- was "inexcusable." While he cops to drinking some cocktails earlier that night, he says he was not drunk at the time of the accident on July 18, 1969, according to The New York Times, which obtained an advanced copy of the 532-page tome due out Sept. 14. He also denies a romantic involvement with Kopechne, whom he says he barely knew.
In the book, Kennedy details other tragedies and triumphs. He writes that at times he "enjoyed too much" the pleasures of stiff drinks, women and fine wine. He reveals how the trauma of two brothers' assassinations strained his first marriage and would make him flinch at sudden noises like firecrackers.
U.S. & World
He also writes that his children convinced him to bow out of the 1984 presidential race because they feared for his safety. Kennedy, the only one of four brothers not to die violently, succumbed to brain cancer on Aug. 25 after a storied 47-year career in the U.S. Senate. He was 77.

The Forum is being upgraded again
A note of importance. We are always trying to improve out service to our Military Family:
This weekend we will be transferring all of the web pages on my server to a on line backup server. Then I will turn my server off once I know all the links are good.
This means that sometime this weekend we will be off line for a few hours so we can do a current backup and redirect our DNS services for all the web pages.
For those of you that have web pages on my server it will cost you nothing for the temporary server. My company will be paying for everything.
Once we have the new server up and running we will then decide if we will stay there or if I will buy another new server and move the web pages once again to the new server.
If I stay on the new temporary server (It is with a special program Amazon has) It will give us a lot higher speed, better security, and a little more disk space then what I currently have.
When I compute what I have been paying for the server it will be a lot cheaper. It adds up when you pay for the updates in operating systems, and the extra high speed internet service required to run a server. It will be about 65% to 70% cheaper then what I am paying now and I would also no longer have to worry about out connection going down.
This web forum is now moved to our new server. Enjoy.

NEW YORK – Reports broke on Tuesday that Real Salt Lake have filled the void left when former assistant coach Robin Fraser left to become manager of Chivas USA. His place will be filled by another of the league's long-time defensive standouts: C.J. Brown.
The 35-year-old Brown retired at the end of the 2010 season after serving 13 seasons as one of the leaders of the Chicago Fire since the club was formed in 1998. The 2001 All-Star was instrumental in the 1998 MLS Cup championship team as well as Chicago's four Open Cup titles.
The move by RSL comes five days after the Fire hired Leo Percovich as an assistant to replace Mike Matkovich, who was let go at the end of the 2010 regular season.
According to The Washington Post, Carey Talley was also in consideration for the position.
