Dear Em.
It sure is about time I wrote to you and it is going to be somewhat bad news that this letter will contain. I am a private and the reason I will give is that it was through no fault of my own. Captain Tobey is no longer in command of this company.
I am very well though Em, and doing my best as a soldier. Of coarse the loss of my rating stung me quite hard, but then, it is only part of this game. As it is bad policy to say much in this line, I will ring off and we will all have to consider it a common occurance.
We have been on the move of late and are now in a little town behind the lines. We are getting some wet weather now and, as usual when this is the case, every one is feeling muddy. Ive received all your mail up to March 8 and there must be some more pretty handy. This is the first time Ive had a chance to write you and now that I have got time I feel that Ive said enough in informing you of my come down. I used to think I liked this game and Ive far from changed my mind in this respect yet, but it does seem an awful long climb to get up of late. I havent weakened one bit, don't you worry, for there is a lesson in every defeat you know.
My reduction came about a week ago, and after this letter is sent the most worry some thing on my mind will be over. Mind you, I havent delayed writing because of this, for I feel confident that Sam is there and will show it before this war is over. I know you folks will be disappointed in this news but you cant be any more so than I have been. Have been understand for it is a thing of the past now, and there is no such thing as disappointment ahead for me. If there is, it must be far beyond the sky line for my head is up and my eyes are dead ahead and I can see nothing but advantages. Cases like mine are happening every day over here, although this fact made it far from being easier to swallow.
I hope that this letter finds you all well and enjoying some pleasant weather now. Give my regards to all and tell them that although I am minus my ribbons, Ive got the same health and an even more determination to get back what Ive lost and then some.
Your loving brother
Samuel E. Avery Hdq. Co. 103rd Inf A.E.F.
P.S. This letter reminds me of that old song "Just break the news to Mother." Tee hee.

House Strangewayes
Birka 2012
Heraldry Needed
|Award Badges
We are a service household in the SCA, based out of the East Kingdom with deep ties to the Barony of Stonemarche and largely living in the Shire of Quintavia.
Our household structure is loosely based on the organization of the Hanseatic League.
Despite some people's thoughts, only two members of the household ever attended UNH.
The House was founded by Elinor Strangewayes sometime around 2002. Syele and Simona both joined within the next year, and Fortune and Lysken were added in 2006. At this point, the core themes of the House were established.
In 2008, the Household both began its annual Pinata Party at Great Northeastern War and attended Pennsic for the first time, camping within Stonemarche. House Strangewayes has camped there ever since.
By 2011, it was apparent that the Household was adding members on an annual basis, and more organization was needed. As of November 2011, the House was organized into three tiers.

At a national conference held in Rapid City, South Dakota, the Wildlife Conservation Society released a survey regarding how people view the American bison. According to the results, most of the people surveyed value the herd animal as a national symbol. However, less than 10% of those surveyed understood the status of the bison population in North America today.
Before European settlers came to the New World, the American bison numbered at around 30 million, and their range stretched all the way from Alaska to Mexico. Today, only 16,000 bison freely roam in North America.
The Wildlife Conservation Society hopes to promote the restoration of bison populations by appealing to government agencies, conservation groups, and ranchers. Ecological restoration of the American bison would mean that large herds could roam freely within their historic range and interact with other native species.

One day after Google's executive chairman, Eric Schmidt, proclaimed Google Fiber was "not an experiment," the Emerald City decided that it too wants in on some of that sweet gigabit speed.
On Thursday, Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn announced the city reached an agreement with Gigabit Squared and the University of Washington to bring 1 Gbps connections, taking advantage of the city's own underused fiber. Seattle abandoned its plan for a municipal network last summer. A connected city wireless network, which would obviously be slower, is also in the works.
"The plan will begin with a demonstration fiber project in twelve Seattle neighborhoods and includes wireless methods to deploy services more quickly to other areas," the city wrote in an online statement.
Neither the city nor the company involved has released any information as to pricing or availability dates. Calls to the City of Seattle and Gigabit Squared were not immediately returned. However, the Gigabit Seattle website does say: "Our rates are yet to be finalized, but households and businesses should expect extremely competitive rates."
Pricing, availability details to be determined
Details are scant, but Seattle did identify which neighborhoods would be targeted first. That list is:
Area 1: the University of Washington's West Campus District, Area 2: South Lake Union, Area 3: First Hill/Capitol Hill/Central Area, Area 4: the University of Washington's Metropolitan Tract in downtown Seattle, Area 5: the University of Washington's Family Housing at Sand Point, Area 6: Northgate, Area 7: Volunteer Park Area, Area 8: Beacon Hill and SODO Light Rail Station and Areas 9-12: Mount Baker, Columbia City, Othello, and Rainier Beach.
Gigabit Squared has previously partnered with Chicago, where it announced an upcoming fiber plan in October 2012. As we reported earlier this year however, the company has announced some projects in college towns across the country: one at the University of Maine and another near the University of Florida in Gainesville.
But, while the Gainesville network apparently will offer a 50Mbps connection for $100—that's a far cry from Google Fiber's $70 for 1Gbps in Kansas City, Kansas. Still, as Ars found out first-hand last month, it may take some time before the real-world effects of such crazy speeds can be evenly felt throughout the network.
"In general, efforts like this and Google Fiber that create new models for bringing higher speed broadband to customers are good for the market and for disrupting what is primarily a duopoly in broadband access in most markets," Charles Golvin, a Forrester Research analyst, told Ars.

Welcome to the June Blog Hop! This month we are road trippin' with the National Parks kit!
The last week of May my family and I took a trip to Colorado. When we got home, my pizza box was waiting for me on the front porch. I make a point NOT to peek at the Club Scrap kit spoilers, I love the surprise. And what a surprise! The National Park kit was PERFECT for my vacation photos!
|I made a Pinterest National Parks mood board and found some really neat vintage travel posters. I resized them and printed them out on the cream cardstock.
|A few of the 4×6 photos needed a place and I trimmed them to fit in the little pockets on some of the pages. I backed them with card stock so that they won't bend with use. I love this vintage travel poster!
|This was the pic on the reverse side of the Vail poster. Lots of group selfies on this trip!
|These little flip books filled up fast!
There's a whole lotta fun memories crammed in this little book. It is so fun to share with all the interactive bits. I'll definately be making this project again and again! Next up on the hop is Annette's Digital Musings. Thanks for stopping by!

David Ortiz. Randy Moss. Kevin Garnett. Torii Hunter. And now Johan Santana.
Minnesota continued to bolster the rationale for an East Coast sports bias Tuesday when the Twins agreed to send the best pitcher in baseball to the New York Mets for four prospects.
So it is time for Minnesotans to scream about the exodus of stars and decry the Twins' unwillingness to pay top talent? No, because in this case the facts get in the way.
Fact: The Twins spent $115 million on two players Friday, when they signed Justin Morneau and Michael Cuddyer. The Pohlads also have spent $15 million extra to cover excess ballpark expenses. A month ago, I would have been happy to criticize the Pohlads for cheapness, but they have proved willing to spend money when they feel they are getting fair value in return.
Fact: The Twins offered Hunter and Santana reasonable deals. They offered Hunter a three-year, $45 million contract, and the Angels blew it away, taking the risk even though Hunter might be a declining player three or four years from now. The Twins offered Santana a four-year extension worth $80 million and heard laughter.
Fact: Santana wanted out. I've been told by people who know him that he longs to pitch in New York, for more money, a large Latin American community and a team he feels is determined to win a World Series in the near future.
Fans love to delude themselves into believing that all of "our" athletes want to stay here, but "our" athletes grew up in other states or countries and view baseball teams the way we view companies in our chosen industry.
Santana was looking for a better deal, and when we learn of the contract he'll sign with the Mets, we will know that he found a better deal -- perhaps $130 million over six years.
The public debate today should not be over whether the Twins should have traded Santana; it should be over whether they chose the right place to trade Santana.
The Yankees offered highly regarded pitching prospect Phil Hughes and ready-to-roll center fielder Melky Cabrera, along with a third prospect. Hughes would have fit in near the top of the Twins' 2008 rotation and Cabrera would have been capable if unspectacular in center field. The Yankees deal would have made the most sense for 2008.
The Red Sox offered either magnetic center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury or estimable pitching prospect Jon Lester along with a few prospects who could have surfaced in the majors in the next year or two. The Red Sox deal offered a mixture of promise and immediate impact.
On Tuesday, there were numerous reports that both the Yankees and Red Sox had backed off their original offers.
The Mets offered four prospects, and that is the most intriguing aspect of this deal -- that rookie General Manager Bill Smith chose the riskiest deal available.
We can draw three conclusions from this:
1) The Twins think the Mets players will ultimately be better than the Yankees and Red Sox prospects, even if their prospects offer more immediate help.
2) No matter what they say publicly, the Twins are comfortable with building toward 2010, when they open their new stadium. The team they field in 2008 might be intriguing, but it will require 2006-style miracles to compete with Cleveland and Detroit, and it might be more realistically compared to Chicago and Kansas City.
3) The Twins study their own history.
When they traded another Cy Young winning lefthander, Frank Viola, in 1989, they dealt with a New York team (the Mets) and received a package of young players that hardly looked overwhelming -- Rick Aguilera, Tim Drummond, Jack Savage, Kevin Tapani and David West.
Three of those players were disappointments. Tapani and Aguilera helped the Twins win a World Series.
When the Twins traded their best player, Chuck Knoblauch, in 1998, they dealt with a New York team (the Yankees) and received a package of young players that hardly looked overwhelming -- Brian Buchanan, Cristian Guzman, Eric Milton and Daniel Mota. Guzman and Milton became All-Stars.
Seeing Santana leave is painful. His departure means Minnesota has lost another star.
In this case, the Twins didn't have much choice.
Jim Souhan can be heard Sundays from 10 a.m.-noon on AM-1500 KSTP. • email@example.com

Fast forward three months. Our Baltimore Orioles have made it to the World Series for the first time since 1983, matching up against the Atlanta Braves. It's the situation that we all dream about when we're kids playing catch in the backyard or taking batting practice on the neighborhood fields.
Game 7 of the World Series. Bottom of the 9th inning. Tied game. Bases loaded. Two outs. Full count. The fans are going absolutely bonkers. Baltimore is a ball four, walk, hit or error away from walking off with their first World Series win in 21 years.
And why is it they are in position to walk off with the win?
Because just three months earlier, Pat Neshek entered the All-Star Game, played at Target Field, home of the 44-50 Minnesota Twins, and gave up three runs to the American League, including a sacrifice fly from Jose Altuve, member of the 40-56 Houston Astros.
It has absolutely nothing to do with what team had the better regular season record. Where the seventh game of the World Series is played has nothing to do with either of the teams participating in the series, unless of course members of those respective teams made an impact, positively or negatively, in the All-Star game.
Rather, representatives from all 30 teams, 20 of which will not make the postseason and 22 of which will not make it past the play-in games, determine where that legacy-defining Game 7 is played.
In what alternate universe does that make sense? You're telling me that a bunch of millionaires in $25,000 suits got together, deliberated in a boardroom and came out with this solution?
Imagine if Luis Gonzalez' hit over Derek Jeter's glove in Game 7 of the 2001 World Series would have simply put the Diamondbacks up 3-2 rather than ending the game? What if history was re-written and that Game 7 had actually been played in New York? In 2001, the American League won the All-Star game. Under our current All-Star game rules, that legacy-defining game would have in fact been played at Yankee Stadium. How might that have changed the legacy of Derek Jeter? He could have six rings instead of five. Joe Torre would have another World Series under his belt. Even Mike Mussina could have a ring to display on his mantle had the location of the seventh game been switched to the Big Apple. Crazy stuff.
We're talking about a game in which AL manager John Farrell admitted that his main objective was not to win, but to get as many players in the game as possible. And let's be honest – why does John Farrell care who wins the game? His Boston Red Sox are 43-52, 9.5 games behind the Orioles and they're more concerned with what kind of young haul they can get for Jon Lester at the deadline than what stadium they're going to be playing in come October. We're talking about a game in which Adam Wainwright admitted to grooving pitches right down 5th Avenue to leadoff man Derek Jeter in his final "farewell" All-Star Game sendoff. Jeter doubled in his first at bat and later scored. The American League went on to score three runs in the first inning.
Ultimately, they won the game by two runs, 5-3.
Had Adam Wainwright actually tried to pitch to Derek Jeter, the National League very well may have won the All-Star Game on Tuesday night, awarding them home field advantage in the 2014 World Series. Meaning, of course, that in my above scenario, a run would not walk the game off for the Orioles. Instead, the Atlanta Braves, or whoever their opponent would be in our dream scenario, would get one more at bat in the bottom of the inning with a chance to tie or win the game.
Hundreds of years from now, when all of us are dead and gone, the 2014 World Series winner will live in infamy in countless record books and libraries throughout the sports world. Legacies will be defined. Future contracts will be signed. Statues may very well be erected. Hall of Fame candidacy will be voted upon.
And all of that history could be changed in a flash – because of an All-Star Game played in July amongst members of all 30 MLB teams that served more as a spectacle and farewell tour to Derek Jeter than it did as a real game.
The NBA All-Star game is nothing more than a glorified dunk contest. Roger Goodell has threatened to put an end to the NFL Pro Bowl because the players just won't take it seriously. And as we saw from Adam Wainwright on Tuesday night, major league baseball players don't REALLY care about winning. Derek Jeter's 4th inning moment yesterday was always going to more important than the end result of the game. Undoubtedly, more people know about that moment than know the end result of the game. The same thing happened last year at Citi Field when Mariano Rivera was paraded out in the 8th inning as Enter Sandman blasted over the speakers.
The All-Star Game is an entertainment spectacle. It is NOT a competitive game. Not even close.
By placing such a high importance on the result of a glorified exhibition game, Bud Selig and the powers that be within Major League Baseball are putting the integrity of this great game on the line. It may not seem like such a big deal right now. It's hard to really understand the significance of something, whether we're talking sports or life in general, until your life and/or interests are directly impacted.
But when you're favorite baseball team is on the mound in the bottom of the 9th in Game 7 of the World Series, watching the opposing team walking off the field with a one run win in front of the home fans, perhaps you too will question the logic and integrity of the current All-Star Game format.
In the meantime, I guess all of us Orioles fans should be thankful that the American League won, right?

This is a guest post by Dominique Nancy.
I thought how I got into Blogging might make some of you laugh.
Two years ago, I was concerned that my husband's online gaming might mess up our marriage. We all know how excessive virtual worlds can have real-world influences on health, spouse happiness, and sex life? But can lingerie help save marriages when men's gaming habits have interfered with the couple's bedtime? As a scientific journalist with a strong interest for fashion, I asked myself this question and made it the subject of a study (Yep, I did carry out the experiments described below… Oh yes, with a truly scientific approach). 🙂
The study confirms that multiplayer video games can have negative consequences on marital satisfaction. The results shed light on the effects of a woman wearing lingerie on a role-playing gamer spouse, studied this way for the first time (to my knowledge). The results also suggest that women can easily be overshadowed by the game The Elder Scrolls Online and hockey, even the most boring hockey match.
For the study, I have conducted three experiments in an attempt to seduce my husband (read: the laboratory rat) in order to get him away from his computer screen and into our bed. These experiments were carried out between October 2015 to April 2016. Two of them were engaged while my hubby was role-playing the game The Elder Scrolls Online. One was undertaken while he was watching on T.V. a hockey game involving Les Canadiens, his number one team. (Previous research has found that men may prefer gaming and watching hockey over having sex with their spouse)¹. Experiments were done using two different types of lingerie from two brands: a Blue Lace Babydoll from Roselle (see the picture of 3C Style below) and a Delicate Nude Lace Bra with matching Panties from Anine Bing. One experiment which served as a control was undertaken using a white Body Towel Wrap from HSN.
Note: One more experiment was conducted in December 2017 to confirm or infirm the data of the original study and see if the marital satisfaction had changed over time. It involved the researcher (me) sending a photo of herself wearing the Nova Bra and Panties by the British brand Bluebella (THE provocative and naughty lingerie items you see everywhere on Instagram). This seductive set was bought at Alice Kass's Pop Up shop in Montreal (Rockland Shopping Center – open until the 18th January). The pic was sent to the subject (husband/laboratory rat) while he was in India for a conference.
Data (The Great Seduction)
Conduct 1: Showing up in hubby's office with a white Body Towel Wrap (as I was just getting out of the shower). The subject was gaming and very much concentrated in killing some zombies and demons.
Reactions from the subject (verbal and non-verbal behavior):
- Shows a surprise face (eyebrows are raised)
- Smiles (about 10 seconds)
- Turns his eyes back on the screen while emitting the sound "Grrrr…"
- Speaks to spouse (without looking at her): "Sorry darling! It's crucial right now. My team players need me!"
- The subject kept playing and came to bed… Three hours later! Note: Spouse did pretend to sleep.
Conduct 2: As above but wearing the Blue Lace Babydoll from Roselle.
Reactions from the subject (verbal and non-verbal behavior):
- Shows a big smile (about 20 seconds) but…
- Seems quizzical and in doubt (only one eyebrow raised);
- Looks intensely at spouse (probably trying to figure out if I will be mad or not if he did not follow me to the bedroom);
- chuckles (slightly nervous, 5 seconds)
- Turns his eyes back on the computer screen;
- Speaks to spouse (who's walking away): "It won't be long, honey!"
- The subject kept playing and came to bed one hour and a half later (sign of progress).
Conduct 3: Showing up in the living room wearing comfortable and sexy underwear (Delicate Nude Lace Bra and Panties) from Anine Bing while the subject is watching a hockey game. Note: The Canadiens team were losing with no chance to win at all.
Reactions from the subject (verbal and non-verbal behavior):
- Shows a big smile (about 20 seconds);
- Giggle (loudly, 20 seconds);
- Thighs slapped;
- Looks at spouse for a minute with a smirk and puppy eyes;
- Turn his head back toward the T.V. screen;
- Speaks to spouse (who's rolling her eyes): "It's almost over!"
- The subject kept watching the match and came to bed about 40 minutes later.
Conduct 4: Sent a pic of myself wearing Bluebella provocative lingerie to my hubby while he was away for work in a foreign country.
Reactions from the subject (according to him):
- Very happy;
- Timing was good apparently;
- The photo helped subject release some stress. (Glad to do that for you darling! Thanks to the technology.)
Results and Analysis
Overall the researcher found that beautiful lingerie can help marital satisfaction and love life. But online gaming and hockey (and presumably other televised sports) are major factors to consider, both may lead to dissatisfaction when one partner spends too much time at it. Killing zombies and demons can definitely have some effects on your relationship with your partner. Further research is needed to confirm this hypothesis.
The data from these experiments seem to confirm the results of a study published in the Journal of Leisure Research which shows that "couples who did not go to bed at the same time reported less marital satisfaction".² Researcher will gladly buy more beautiful lingerie, especially from Alicia Kass Shop as the items bought there had the biggest impact on the subject. Need to remind you though that in the fourth experiment the subject was not participating in an online game nor watching a hockey game. Also, the researcher was not able to see the subject's level of arousal. However, the spouse's satisfaction level in the last experiment had increased considerably since the time of the first experiment. While the researcher could not deduce from this study the specific reason for it, she speculated that blogging may be related to it. Indeed, since she started engaging with the wonderful WordPress community (July 2016) she goes to sleep quite late at night and in result does not have to wait no more for her hubby to come to bed. This situation tends to have decreased the level of frustration. But it may have inverted the problem…
Note: Researcher thinks she has just scratched the surface of this new type of research. She hopes in a near future to be able to produce more solid results. In the meantime, she'll keep blogging! (Hubby tells me he would gladly participate in additional experiments.)
I would like to thank Darren Sleep who's Bus Papers… part one and two inspired me for this post and for reviewing it. (He tells me he had to have a cold shower and a lie down afterward.) Thanks to my husband for his great sense of humour and -despite the truth of the facts presented here- for authorizing me to publish my results. Finally, a big thank you to Anine Bing, Bluebella and Alicia Kass for making available such beautiful lingerie.

From this site that was posted:
On the head stone it reads "Order of Pendo"
Does anyone know what that was? I've done a little research, but haven't found anything very recent for it. It's seems like it was or is a fraternal organisation much like freemasonry...
Anyone have any ideas?

I think for the most part, kids would go up there and party, I did once, was too drunk to know anything creepy that went on. But I think for the most part, the urban legends were created by those who listened to the spirits of Jack Daniels. Hence loosing your rational thinking from alcohol and drugs. How many people do you validate they're experiences if they're all f**ked up? If anyone remembers being young, and full of emotions, having a bit of drink, smoke, and little square patches might induce alot of the legend behind Maltby. I'm sensitive to spirits and ghosts, and I hiked up there a couple years ago and took a bunch of photos. I felt nothing malevolent there except the residual energy of those of the living.
I'm not saying theres not your typical ghosts that roam Maltby cemetery, but to the extreme of the legends, I doubt it.

I live in Kenmore Washington (25 minutes away) and have only had a handful of occasions when I had to be in Maltby (mostly for soccer games) but after hearing about the cemetery so much recently I decided I must check it out. Before I set out on my journey I had a little chat with my Mom, a very understanding person. I asked her about the cemetery (which she had visited with her boyfriend during the 70's) but unfortunately she didnt have much to say. She warned me against getting arrested and told me it was pretty creepy when she went, but she doesn't recall whether or not she actually went down the 13 steps (supposedly still intact when she went) When we were done with our chat I gathered my closest friends and we headed out to the Cemetery. (8 of us in all). We arrived at the dirt road and began driving down it (very painful for me since I drive a 67 Chevy Nova without power brakes or steering) We arrived in a muddy lot with a tire and a wall of dirt (likely pushed back by a bulldozer during renovations in the past years) We noted the many 'No tresspassing' , 'Absolutely no parking anytime' and 'tresspassers will be prosecuted' signs and nervousness set in. We parked in the muddy lot and walked down the trail (2-4 minute walk) and reached a fork in the road. Both paths looked very scary (I think I sh*t out my heart) and we noticed an address sign pointing in either direction and one underneath that had been made out of tagboard or something. My friend's cousin said something silly like 'I feel really bad vibes coming from the path on the right' which is ironic since it was the path on the left that lead to the cemetery... Anyway, the group decided (6/8 majority) that both paths simply lead to houses and we should turn back and go home. Myself and a giant cambodian crazy-man named Rikki (who had a Katana at the time) were the only ones who wanted to go down the paths. Needless to say, we called it quits, but now as I am writing this, my friends and I are planning our next excursion to the graveyard... tonight at 11:30! (1/14/06) Find out the results next time on... Tyler's Cemetery story...
Posted 11 March 2007 - 10:29 PM
Stay on that highway, and after about 6 miles, turn right on Paradise Lake Rd, which will be the first traffic light you come to. Then follow Paradise Lake Rd for about 2.5 miles.
On the right hand side, across from a small housing development, there will be a dirt pullout. Park there and go up the path that heads parallel to the road up the hill...if you're facing away from the road, it's on the left hand side. Follow that path until you come to a clearing with a big house in it...the cemetery is on the left side of the yard, interspersed with trees and shrubs.
I had fun going there, there is a pentagram on one of the headstones, though we didn't find any 13 Steps to Hell or anything like that. On the downhill side of the path to the cemetery, there is a car with a tree growing through it! That has to be the creepiest thing I saw there...I have no idea how the car got there, but it's held up by only the tree. Another creepy thing that happened was that while we were there, fog started rolling in so that by the time we were leaving, it was really misty. My roommate and I had been taking photos of the graves, and we started taking photos of one another and of the area around us, and she took a photo in which there is a giant, creepy face in the fog.

What: golf and benchmarks, Where: snippets, When: from now on, Why: for fun and glory!by MeowChow (Vicar)

|Need Help??
In a chat with dkubb the other day, we agreed on how much we'd love to see two additional sections of the monestary devoted to impromptu golfing and benchmark contests. Since a golf or benchmark arena isn't going to be added to the monestary anytime soon, we thought that a good interim solution would be to place contest-initiating posts in Snippets, prefixed by (Golf) or (Benchmark), to indicate that such a game is afoot. The snippets section seems like a good place because:
Of course, we'd like to hear comment from everyone on this, especially editors and vroom, before imposing such posts upon the snippets section.

Boston College football player who recorded sexual encounter make plea deal
A Boston College football player charged with violating state wiretap laws by secretly recording a consensual sexual encounter between his roommate and a woman has admitted in a plea agreement that there are facts sufficient for a finding of guilty.
Jaryd Rudolph, a 6-foot-4, 293-pound defensive lineman, entered his plea Tuesday.
The judge continued his case for three months. That means that if Rudolph completes community service and adheres to other conditions, the charge will be dismissed.
Rudolph was charged with recording the February encounter and distributing it to others, subjecting the woman to embarrassment and ridicule.
Her lawyer says that hearing Rudolph admit to the facts is "significant to the healing process."
The Boston Globe reports that Rudolph's lawyer said resolving the case was in everyone's best interests.

What Customers Are Saying
Payless Water Heaters
"My grandma said 5/5 stars for these folks. Her water heater was leaking and in case you didn't know that's usually not repairable. I didn't know you needed a permit for these things either!!!! Thank you Alex, you were very professional with my family. How I found out about these people I was disgruntled at a local hardware store so instead of giving them my hard earn dollars I thought I would try a local business. I typed in water heater on YELP and they were second on the list. The catchy name caught my eye due to a childhood reference of the shoe store Payless shoes. I call my plumber and he did not get back to me either. They sent me a picture text of the technician and his name so I knew who I was expecting in my 2 hour window. I miss understood when I thought it would be 10-12 meaning the start time but that was the window time of arrival. The installation process took a little less than 3hrs including billing and paperwork. I didn't know these things could be so expensive. They were $200 less than the local hardware store with a great warranty and it's a US company with a US product! So I was sold already! They installed next day, same day if you get them earlier enough in the morning! They had a live person each time I called on the phone, I called 8pm on a Sunday and I had a representative name Sasha on the phone talk to me about the whole process. 8pm-9pm, ON A SUNDAY!!!! The late night hours really instilled confidence that I was going to be taken care of. I want to say thank you again!! I will refer!!"

At GeekDad we are committed to helping you raise geek generation 2.0, and we believe few things that you do are more important than reading to your kids early and often. The social science is in, vocabulary is a major predictor of cognitive development in your children. Reading to them is a great way to get them using the language centers of their brain. Plus some of the best times we have had with our children have come while watching their eyes glisten as Harry looks in the Mirror of Erised or listening to their giggles as they discover the joys and absurdities of Shel Silverstein's poetry. Reading aloud to your kids can be a blast. So what books should geeks be reading to their kids? What books are essential to the geek experience? Well, that depends on the parent, and that depends on the kid. Some kids can handle the long slog to get Frodo to Rivendell where The Lord of the Rings finally takes off and becomes a rollicking adventure; many kids (and adults) cannot. So rather than creating a single list of recommended books, we decided to let members of the GeekDad team create the list of books which they enjoyed reading to their hatchlings as they progressed through their beta period. Consider these the staff picks at your own personal geek library:

Stem Cells: The Next Generation

Embryonic stem cells behave very differently outside the pull of Earth's gravity, researchers suggest.
These findings warn that procreation in space may be fraught with peril. However, further research could help unlock ways to combat the negative effects that weightlessness has on people of all ages.
The microgravity that astronauts experience orbiting Earth on the space shuttle or International Space Station can ravage their bodies on lengthy missions, atrophying muscles, weakening bones and causing irregular heartbeats. To advance longer and farther into space, researchers want to curtail these risks.
By analyzing the effects of weightlessness on the cellular level, scientists in Australia now believe they have pinpointed the roots of its harmful consequences. Microgravity apparently tampers with stem cells, which all other cells originate from. Stem cells normally act as a repair system for the body by replenishing its tissues.
Astronauts who spend long periods of time in the microgravity conditions of the International Space Station experience various negative health effects. What sort of hardships will the human body endure on long-term space missions to travel beyond Earth? Credit: NASA
By uncovering the origins of these problems, the investigators now hope to design remedies that can truly help fix them. "Our research is headed toward creating countermeasures that can be utilized by biomedical intervention for astronauts," said researcher Helder Marcal, a tissue engineer at the University of New South Wales in Australia.
In their experiments, researchers employed human embryonic stem cells, which possess the extraordinary ability to become any other cell. To simulate microgravity on Earth, the scientists used a NASA-designed machine which kept the cells nourished with oxygen and nutrients while constantly spinning to keep the cells in a state of freefall for 28 days.
After this experiment, the cells showed vast differences on the molecular level, with 64 percent of their proteins differing from those grown under normal gravity. Specifically, these microgravity-exposed cells generated more proteins that degrade bone and fewer proteins with antioxidant effects. Antioxidants protect against reactive oxidants that can damage DNA.

Microgravity also influenced levels of a broad range of other proteins. These include those involved in cell division, the immune system, the muscle and skeletal systems, calcium levels within cells, and cell motility.
These findings in embryonic stem cells may not bode well for attempts at procreation in microgravity.
"The simulated microgravity experiments we are investigating don´t seem to suggest a very positive outcome," Marcal said.
Some of the detrimental risks that microgravity may have on an embryo include inhibited bone maturation, heart and blood vessel alterations, delayed neural growth, and altered muscle tissue maturation, Marcal speculated.
"The effect that microgravity may have on a growing embryo or fetus would be similar to an adult body — however, much more detrimental," Marcal said. "The adult body can adapt to some microgravity space environments — however, what remains totally unknown is if an embryo can adapt to such an environment too."
In the 1968 film, "2001: A Space Odyssey," one of the final images is of a "starchild," the next stage in human evolution. Credit: Warner Brothers/MGM
The researchers now aim to decipher why exactly microgravity is having these molecular effects. "What we are almost certain of is that the human body depends and relies on gravity for some mechanical or circulatory feedback," Marcal said.
Mechanical feedback is needed by bone, while circulatory feedback is needed by blood vessels. "Vessel walls become weak and our circulation and immune system becomes compromised," Marcal explained.
The researchers are now testing other cell types to analyze the effects of simulated microgravity on those. In addition, they are working on tissues grown from cells that actually flew on one of the recent space shuttle missions.
"Thus we are hoping to combine and complement our ground-based experiments with those in real space conditions," said researcher Brendan Burns, a biologist at the University of New South Wales.
"Human procreation in space is inevitable, I believe," Marcal said.
When it comes to whether or not medical interventions might protect embryos and fetuses from the hazards of microgravity, "therapeutic and pharmaceutical intervention may not be the optimum outcome," Marcal said. "Humans may have to consider that in the not so distant future, genetic engineering our bodies may the way forward if we are to explore planets in our solar system. However, this raises other ethical and moral issues."
The scientists detailed their findings at the Astrobiology Science Conference 2010 in Texas in April.

MLS Match Recap: DC United 1, Columbus Crew 2
WASHINGTON – Ben Speas scored 13 minutes into the second half to put the Columbus Crew up for good in a wild 2-1 victory at D.C. United on Saturday, the club's first win at RFK Stadium since September of 2010.
Josh Williams also scored his second goal of the young MLS season as Columbus secured a well-earned victory in their Eastern Conference opener and their second away win of 2013.
The Crew also became the first side to win in RFK in 18 matches, a stretch dating back to when Sporting Kansas City secured a 1-0 victory in the 2012 season opener.
Young Designated Player Rafael scored in his debut for D.C. United on a sensational half volley that hinted at the potential United saw in the 20-year-old Brazilian when they signed him on loan this offseason.
Goalkeeper Bill Hamid made seven saves to keep United in it, following up on last weekend's stellar performance in a 0-0 draw against the New York Red Bulls.
OPTA Chalkboard: Crew make D.C. pay for inability to hold possession
But just four minutes after Hamid made a pair of point-blank saves off a corner kick to keep it level, Speas punished United for one of the keeper's few mistakes of the afternoon for his first career MLS goal.
Federico Higuaín sent in a curling free kick from the left that surprised Hamid and caused him to spill it. D.C.'s Brandon McDonald slipped while trying to clear it, and the ball fell to Speas, who hammered home an open shot from the edge of the 18-yard box.
In the 72nd minute, it was Andy Gruenebaum's turn to bail his team out. First he saved an initial header from Lionard Pajoy with the help of the post, then reacted to block a longer-range shot from Brandon McDonald as the ball recirculated and saved the best for last with a stunning stop on the rebound try from Dwayne De Rosario.
D.C. failed to threaten much in the final minutes that followed, and Hamid had to be at full stretch again in stoppage time to deny Dominic Oduro's looping insurance effort from the right.
United began the match with their most offensive lineup of the season, including Rafael, who was acquired from Brazilian Série A side Bahia in the offseason.
But Columbus applied most of the early pressure and broke through in the 15th minute when an unmarked Williams headed in Tyson Wahl's free kick from just beyond the six-yard box.
Hamid controlled the damage by twice denying strong efforts from Higuaín in the minutes following.
Between those efforts, Rafael leveled it for D.C. in the 22nd minute with a moment of brilliance, reaching Chris Pontius' header, turning on compatriot Gláuber and striking a low drive from beyond 35 yards that dipped away from the poorly-positioned Gruenebaum and inside the right post.
D.C.'s Nick DeLeon exited the match in the 30th minute with what appeared to be a right leg injury.
Both teams will enjoy a bye next weekend, with D.C. returning to action on April 5 for a tough trip to Kansas City, while the Crew will look to score their first home win of 2013 against Philadelphia a day later on April 6.
MLSsoccer.com Men of the Match
|What We Saw
|Andy Gruenebaum
|Made plenty of saves to keep the Crew in it, and his stunning double save 20 minutes from time more than made up for his poor positioning on DC's goal
|Bill Hamid
|Matched Gruenebaum save-for-save on the other end, but had one more mistake than his Crew counterpart, which doomed United
|Federico Higuaín
|Didn't get on the scoresheet, but impressed with his consistent vision, touch and ability to control the pace of the game

Born of the recession in the United States, group home buying is starting to catch on in Canada, says a recent TD survey.
TD found 25% of Canadians who bought a home in the last 24 months, or are planning to in the near future, did so on their own, while 40% think buying property, whether a primary residence or vacation home, with friends or family members is a great way to get started.
This shift towards non-traditional ways of purchasing property, requires careful planning to avoid potential bumps on the road, says Michelle Snow, associate vice-president, retail products at TD.
"Whether buying a home on your own or together in partnership with family members or friends, many of the guiding principles remain the same," says Snow. "Start by setting a realistic budget, talking to a mortgage specialist for advice and taking the time to make an informed decision. The real estate market may move fast, but that doesn't mean you have to rush your decision."
Whether buying alone or with someone else, the first step is to decide how much you are comfortable spending, and what the down payment will be.
Buyers pooling resources may be able to make a larger down payment on their purchase and there are benefits to this. For example, homebuyers who put down 20% or more may avoid paying for mortgage default insurance.
The premiums for mortgage default insurance are calculated as a percentage of the mortgage and paid up front or by adding it to the principal portion of the mortgage. Eliminating or decreasing this premium can result in significant savings over the lifetime of the mortgage.
"Once homebuyers set their budget and down payment, they can take their prospective monthly mortgage payment for a test-drive and 'pay' into a TFSA or savings account," says Snow. "This two-fold solution allows the homebuyer to see how comfortable the monthly mortgage payment is before locking in and save for a larger down payment at the same time. For co-purchasers, it opens the line of communication to talk about how these monthly payments will work after the purchase."
While agreeing on a budget and down payment are essential, the conversation shouldn't stop there, says Snow.
"Co-purchasers also need to agree on the key characteristics they want in a property and what they are and are not willing to compromise on," she says. "For example, will the primary residence be a house or condominium? If it's a second home to be used as a vacation destination, will it be a cabin in the woods or a cottage by the water? Once these decisions are made, consider how the associated costs, like taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs and maintenance fees will fit into the overall budget.
"The last thing new homeowners want is an unwelcome surprise when they're about to sign on the dotted line. Whether purchasing alone, or with a co-purchaser, a mortgage specialist can help navigate home financing questions well before they've entered the house hunt, so they can make informed decisions that can save money and stress in the long run."

As the twilight of Independence Day rapidly approaches, it is our solemn duty and privilege to pay homage to all men and women who have given their lives paying the ultimate sacrifice defending our country and our freedom.
Tonight as we celebrate the Fourth of July remember the words so elegantly penned by Francis Scott Key during the defense of Fort Henry September 20th, 1814…
"And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there."
Before you begin to illuminate the skies this evening by launching volley after volley of pyrotechnic patriotism, pause a moment and reflect on the sacrifices incurred by our forefathers more than two centuries ago. Gaze upon the heavens in wonder as fireworks brilliantly and brashly shout out loud and clear that we the people stand united as a nation declaring in unison that America is the best damn nation the world has known.
Hug you wife, husband, significant other, son, and daughter. Yell out a hearty hello to your neighbors that have come forth from their homes this evening to watch the fireworks shows and to celebrate as an entire nation.
"O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave."
God Bless America.

In a joint session to congress last night, President Obama gave his much anticipated speechon his prescription to resuscitate the ailing American economy.
The president's plan is an ambitious $447 billion stimulus package that would include small business payroll tax cuts, tax credits for businesses that hire new workers, and new construction jobs to repair bridges, build public schools, roads and highways.
If there was a theme in the presidents' address last night it was the urgency of getting his bill passed "right away," which he repeated eight times.
"I am sending this Congress a plan that you should pass right away. It's called the American Jobs Act. There should be nothing controversial about this piece of legislation. Everything in here is the kind of proposal that's been supported by both Democrats and Republican — including many who sit here tonight. And everything in this bill will be paid for. Everything," said Obama.
It was obvious from the start; the president had two audiences he wanted to address. The American people and congress, and it would be congress that would get the president's wrath for their inaction and partisanship over the past 24 months.
"Some of you have decided that [our] differences are so great that we can only resolve them at the ballot box. But know this: the next election is fourteen months away. And the people who sent us here — the people who hired us to work for them — they don't have the luxury of waiting fourteen months. Some of them are living week to week; paycheck to paycheck; even day to day. They need help, and they need it now," said Obama.
The American Jobs Act has tax credit provisions laden with incentives for small businesses. For example, the plan would give a tax credit of $4000 to small businesses when they hire new workers or raise current worker's salaries. The president also wants to cut payroll taxes in half for small businesses.
"It's not just Democrats who have supported this kind of proposal. Fifty House Republicans have proposed the same payroll tax cut that's in this plan. You should pass it right away," said Obama.
The president plans to pay for his jobs package with an additional $1.5 trillion in spending cuts on top of the cuts the bipartisan Deficit Reduction Commission is expected to review.
"The agreement we passed in July will cut government spending by about a trillion dollars over the next ten years. It also charges this Congress to come up with an additional $1.5 trillion in savings by Christmas," said Obama.
However, while the president lost the battle over raising taxes on the top 1 percent to raise revenue during the debt talks last month. He seems to have every intention to revisit the issue. He reminded Congress "Warren Buffet pays a lower tax rate than his secretary — an outrage he has asked us to fix. We need a tax code where everyone gets a fair shake, and where everybody pays their fair share."
While the president made the case that his proposals are in fact, proposals Republican and Democrats have worked together to support in the past. He concluded his speech by firmly defending consumer and environmental protections, and the social safety net that his rivals have opposed.
"I reject the argument that says for the economy to grow, we have to roll back protections [regulations] that ban hidden fees by credit card companies, or rules [regulations] that keep our kids from being exposed to mercury, or laws that prevent the health insurance industry from shortchanging patients," said Obama.

Albinism refers to a group of rare inherited disorders that are present from birth. Albinism affects the amount of pigment found in the skin, hair, and eyes. People with albinism usually have little to no pigment in their eyes, skin, and hair. The degree of pigment loss can be quite variable. There are different types of albinism:
Albinism is caused by altered genes. The affected genes control the body's ability to make a pigment called melanin.
Altered genes are most often inherited from parents. Both parents will need to have the altered genes in order for the child to develop most types of albinism.
People can carry one set of altered genes and not have signs of albinism. They are called carriers. The second, healthy set of genes prevents the disease from developing.
Albinism is a hereditary disorder. People at risk of inheriting albinism are:
Albinism is rare. Most children with albinism are born to parents with normal hair and skin color for their ethnic background.
The symptoms of albinism depend on the specific type of albinism. Some types affect the skin, hair, and eyes. Other types affect only the eyes or only the skin.
Symptoms may include:
In many types of albinism, the disorder can be diagnosed by observing major or total absence of pigmentation of the hair, skin, and eyes and by vision problems. Most types of albinism affect the eyes. Certain eye tests (including an electroretinogram) are used to help confirm the diagnosis. For some types of albinism, DNA genetic testing can also be used to confirm the diagnosis.
While albinism is always visible at birth, it may be so mild that affected persons are unaware of their diagnosis unless abnormal eye movements or vision develop.
There is no cure for albinism. Treatment is aimed at preventing or limiting symptoms. In some cases, specific treatment for certain symptoms is needed.
Preventive treatment may include:
Specific treatment of symptoms for albinism may include:
There is no known way to prevent albinism. If you have albinism or have a family history of the disorder, you can talk to a genetic counselor when deciding to have children to understand the risks to your offspring.

The kitchen amenities provide what you need to create meals and snacks on the go. There is a three burner range with microwave oven, a single kitchen sink, and overhead storage along with a refrigerator found on the opposite side. There is also a pull-out pantry for your non-perishables.
A convenient broom closet is just inside the entry next to the refrigerator.
Heading towards the rear of the coach there is a full bath with angled shower, toilet and sink. The bath features dual entry doors which allows easy access from the living area and from the rear bedroom too.
Before the bedroom you will find a set of 29" x 71" bunks on the right towards the middle of the full wall slide that the kids or grandkids are sure to love.
The rear bedroom features a queen bed with nightstands and overhead cabinets. There is also a closet and dresser along the full wall slide. Above the dresser there is a 32" LED TV for your enjoyment.
Back up front you will find a drop-down overhead bunk for added sleeping space when needed, plus so much more! And outside there is a 32" LED TV for watching your favorite shows and movies.
Lots of room and very nice amenities!Like most: We got a full inspection and got dresser drawer realigned to stay closed, fixed the couch so L shape would open, took all previous Velcro and did wood touch ups, got slides checked, oil change. Now have appointment to get right exterior scratches and dent lip repaired. - Janice

Spending time with my mom

One of the best things about keeping a TODO list is being able to
spend time on things that are important to me.
My mom is leaving in a few days, and today my TODO list reassured me
that I can spend time with her and still know that the important
things I needed to do are either all done or doable.
I overextended myself last week, but I feel confident that I
can deal with the extra urgency.

DOMINATOR® PLATINUM high-performance DDR3 memory is designed for world-class system builds. It's built with hand-screened ICs, undergoes rigorous performance testing, and incorporates state-of-the-art cooling for reliable performance in demanding environments.
Corsair Dominator® Platinum builds on the legacy of the world's most awarded high-performance memory, adding a striking new industrial design and LED lighting effects. Like all Dominator memory modules, they are built using only select memory ICs, highly-screened for performance and stability, and feature our patented DHX (Dual-path Heat eXchange) cooling technology, so you can push them to the limit.
Dominator Platinum memory modules are assembled using a "best of the best" IC screening process. Individual ICs are hand-screened to our highest performance threshold, and then the assembled modules undergo more rounds of rigorous screening and stability testing. The result is reliable performance under extreme pressure.
Excess heat limits overclocking potential, reduces performance, and can even lead to shorter component life. Our patented dual-channel DHX cooling system pulls heat away from the modules and allows Dominator Platinum to run at cooler temperatures than lesser memory kits.
This advanced cooling technology, combined with our relentless screening, delivers phenomenal overclocking potential.
The integrated light bar provides a subtle downwash lighting effect that gives your system an impressive look but subtle look. Additional light bars (available separately, beginning September 2012) allow you to match your system's color scheme.
Add an Airflow Pro (available separately), and connect with Corsair Link system monitoring and control solutions for real-time activity and temperature monitoring.
There's a reason why world-champion overclockers, extreme gaming enthusiasts and high-end system builders all trust Corsair for high-performance memory that they can install with confidence and pride. Whether you're breaking your own records or you're simply building a dream gaming rig, you can count on Corsair memory.
Your performance investment is protected. All of our memory products are backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
With a long history of building enthusiast-grade memory and components, we've earned a reputation for quality, compatibility, and performance. Need help? We're available by phone call, email or web forum.
A defective memory module(s) can cause various issues on your computer. These are just a few of the possible issues you may encounter. It is important to remember the issues below can also be caused by more than just defective memory.
How can we be sure that the memory is defective before starting the RMA exchange process? There are programs available that are designed to test the computer's memory. We recommend Memtest86+ to test your computer's memory. Please visit this link to download and install Memtest86+ for an ISO image or USB Drive: Link To make a bootable Floppy from with in Windows, First you would download the memtest utility to your HDD, then using www.winzip.com extract it to the same directory. Please then get a floppy and do a fresh full format on it, and if there are any bad sectors just throw it away and get a new one. Then click on the install.bat file in the directory where you downloaded and extracted the files and follow the on screen prompts. To make a Bootable CD from within windows you would download the ISO image that has a .zip extension. .tar would be for UNIX. Memtest.ISO Then use www.winzip.com to extract the ISO image to the same directory that you downloaded it to. Then using CD-R software you will burn the image to CD. Note: Do not copy the image; there is usually an option under file or burner to burn image. Note: If you have recently added any new memory into the computer, we suggest you temporarily remove it to make sure it is not the cause of your issue before testing with Memtest. Please make sure you back up all the data from the USB drive before Memtest86+ installation as it will require a format.

Imagine there is a hat sitting on the table. And there are two contestants. You, Tommy, will be one of the contestants, and we'll call the other one Vinnie.
You reach into the hat, and pull out a number. Then, Vinnie does the same. Now, the reason this hat is magical is that, no matter what number you pull out, Vinnie will always pull out a number that is either one above or one below your number. For example, if you pull out a two, you know Vinnie has pulled out either a one or a three.
To make it simple, we'll limit the numbers to between one... and infinity.
So, each of you pulls out a number. Let's say you pick three and Vinnie picks two. I'm the moderator, and I ask Tommy, "Do you know what number Vinnie has?" Tommy looks at his number, which is 3, and says, "No, I don't."
I then ask Vinnie, "Do you know what number Tommy has?" He looks at his number two and says, "Yes." He knows Tommy has to have a 3.
Regardless of the numbers that are picked, and assuming that both contestants answer truthfully, if I keep asking the question of both of them, eventually one contestant will know what number the other contestant has.
In other words, if I ask Tommy, then ask Vinnie, then Tommy again... then Vinnie again... eventually one of them will know the other's number.
The question is this:
How can this be proven in a mathematically rigorous fashion?

Steve uses this vintage "Train" style song titled Wabash Cannonball in a 2 part lesson series to demonstrate how to build from the basic chord progression all the way up to soloing. In this lesson, Steve will first demonstrate the chord progression as well as how to find the Melody using the chords you have.
Taught by Steve Eulberg in Bluegrass Guitar with Steve Eulberg seriesLength: 18:52Difficulty: 2.0 of 5
The supplemental tab is not matching the transitions from C to D compared to how it's being played.
This is primarily tabbed from the beginning part of the lesson where Steve demonstrates the song. The transition he does there is a chromatic bass walkup from the A to D note. He doesn't specifically cover this throughout the lesson instead focusing on the main type of bass/strum rhythm you're playing. You can realistically do either here and it would be stylistically correct and appropriate.
Hello Steve, Thanks for the music i wanted to print that song in order to see it better end i could'nt . Where can i go to print it?
Thanks Steve. I just spoke with you about playing leads on your live talk and you directed me to this lesson. This is exactly what I was looking for to start playing leads in our group. We have several guitarists in the group and I generally just play rhythm but am always encouraged to play a "break" in a song. I never know what to play so I usually just play chords with some hammer-ons and bass runs. This lesson helps me to start playing simple melodies and then I can advance to putting some additional tricks and riffs into it. I had started this phase a while back, just haven't got to this part of the lessons yet; which is really where I wanted to be. Thanks for your assistance on the Live lesson.
thank you steve nice music greetings from patricia
you're welcome, Patricia

About Steve Eulberg
View Full Biography
An Award-winning multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter, Steve Eulberg weaves mountain and hammered dulcimers with a variety of unusual instruments to create thought-provoking, smile-inducing, toe-tapping acoustic experiences.
He has sung and composed for religious communities, union halls, picket lines, inter-faith retreats, mountain-top youth camps, as well as the more familiar venues: clubs, coffeehouses, bookstores, festivals, charity benefits and showcase concerts.
Born and raised in the German-heritage town of Pemberville, Ohio, Steve was exposed to a variety of music in his home. Early piano lessons were followed by trumpet in school band, and he became self-taught on ukelele and guitar and harmonica. Mandolin was added at Capital University where, while majoring in History, he studied Ear Training, Voice and took Arranging lessons from the Conservatory of Music.
While at college, he first heard hammered and mountain dulcimers, building his first mountain dulcimer just before his final year. Seminary training took him the west side of Denver where he built his first hammered dulcimer. With these instruments, he was able to give voice to the Scottish, English and Irish traditions to which he is also heir.
Following marriage in 1985 to Connie Winter-Eulberg he settled in Kansas City, Missouri. There he worked cross-culturally in a church of African-Americans, Latinos and European Americans, with music being a primary organizing tool. He moved with his family in 1997 to be nestled beside the Rocky Mountains in Fort Coillins, Colorado.
Founder of Owl Mountain Music, Inc. he teaches and performs extensively in Colorado and Wyoming with tours across the US and the UK. He delights in introducing the "sweet music†of dulcimers to people in diverse settings and in addition to his own recordings, has included dulcimers in a variety of session work for other musicians.
In 2000 he was commissioned to create a choral composition featuring dulcimers for the Rainbow Chorus in Fort Collins. It was recorded in the same year (BEGINNINGS). He is currently at work on a commissioned symphony that will feature hammered dulcimer and Australian didjeridu.
Eulberg passionately believes that music crosses cultural and language barriers because music builds community. Influenced by a variety of ethnic styles, his music weaves vital lyric with rap, rock, folk, gospel and blues. Audiences of all ages respond well to his presentation and to his warm sense of humor.
Steve is a member of Local 1000 (AFM), The Folk Alliance, BMI and BWAAG (Better World Artists and Activist's Guild).

Mike H."I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar!"
I am 66 years young and I still got it! I would have never known this if it had not been for Jamplay! I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar! Ha! I cannot express enough how great you're website is! It is for beginners and advanced pickers! I am an advanced picker and thought I had lost it but thanks to you all, I found it again! Even though I only play by ear, I have been a member a whopping whole two weeks now and have already got Brent's country shuffle and country blues down and of course with embellishments. Thank you all for your wonderful program!
Greg J."With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace"
I'm a fifty eight year old newbie who owns a guitar which has been sitting untouched in a corner for about seven years now. Last weekend I got inspired to pick it up and finally learn how to play after watching an amazing Spanish guitarist on TV. So, here I am. I'm starting at the beginning with Steve Eulberg and I couldn't be happier (except for the sore fingers :) Some day I'm going to play like Steve! I'm self employed with a hectic schedule. With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace, rewinding and replaying the videos until I get it. This is a very enjoyable diversion from my work yet I still feel like I'm accomplishing something worthwhile. Thanks a lot, Greg
Bill"I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students."
I am commenting here to tell you and everyone at JamPlay that I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students. I truly enjoy learning to play the guitar on JamPlay.com. Yes, I said the words, ""enjoy learning."" It is by far the best deal for the money.
