I'm really glad this idea is getting such a great response. Before I posted, I was a bit worried folks would find it kinda dorky. smile

But... As the internet is obviously much quicker than the postal service, we are getting well ahead of the package. I believe we are in route to NELA in Louisiana, then to KAP in Canada and from there to Roger in Portugal. (Cool - first trip across the pond!) That's great, but I fear this idea/ thread may get buried and forgotten before the package ever arrives. sad

So, how do we keep the thread current with the package? I would like to ask that after Roger, we stick to the original proposal. No more "jumping in line". Is that fair? How about instead of email (or in conjunction to) the person to receive it would post that info (i.e. "Package Received") and the next member to post to the thread gets it. Seems fair to me.

Another thought - It might be cool to see some photos of the picks as it makes it's travels. I would be interested in seeing what was taken and added as it makes it's journey. I should have done that from the start.

Thanks again folks. This is turning out to be quite interesting.

Hi adjohns3. There's no reason to post your question in multiple sections, so I deleted your duplicate post in Chat.

Because chordie is a really more like a search engine and does not host any songs, I do not believe this task is possible. This question has been asked before and because the search / formatting is automated it would not be possible (or extremely difficult anyway) to create such a list.

Please view the FAQ under the resources tab to learn more about how chordie works.

Thanks guys - The photos are both several years old. Chris (at the wheel in the photo) is no longer physically with us, but he did get to drive her before he left. I do love that shot, it's the only picture I keep sitting on my desk.

Ray - Heres a message I recently sent a fellow moderator on the subject:

First - You cannot post images directly from your computer, you have to open an account at a file or picture hosting site. There are several available, free and easy. Most sites allow you to make your pictures private or public for viewing by others. I use Flickr (which is owned by yahoo), it's real simple to use. Linkage: http://www.flickr.com/

Then, in order to post a photo, you have to learn a bit of HTML code (that's right, now your a programmer). It's quite basic really - uses things called "tags" that tells the forum software how to format a message or item. For pictures, the tag is formatted as such:

[img]... copy / paste the ip address of your photo here i.e. http://www.flicker.my photo[/img]

If the link is correct, your picture will magically appear! There are other HTML "tags" that work similarly. [ b] ....[/b] will provide bold text between the tags. More info can be found here:

http://www.chordie.com/forum/help.php#bbcode

If this is all too much of a hassle - email me the photo and I'll be happy to host / post it for ya!

Learning Guitar - Acoustic or Electric?
Part 1: Electric vs. Acoustic

By Dan Cross, About.com
""
Of all the e-mail I receive, by far the most common question I'm asked is "Which is better to learn on... an electric guitar, or an acoustic guitar?" The answer to that question, despite what many would lead you to believe, is a little more complicated than "electric is best", or "acoustic is best". To find an answer for this question yourself, let's begin by learning a little bit about both electric and acoustic guitars, and what makes them different.

Acoustic Guitar

This is the instrument most people think of when they think "guitar". An acoustic guitar is hollow, and almost always has a "sound hole" - a round hole in the face of the guitar. Acoustic guitars almost always have six strings. When you strike the strings of an acoustic guitar, the instrument produces a rather loud sound. Although acoustic guitars are often associated with folk music, and "mellow" music in general, they are in truth in all styles of music, from country to blues to heavy metal.

Not at all - and these type of things (minor consults) could paid paid out of pocket in a worse case scenario. It's the ridiculous rate of advanced, extremely expensive testing (MRI's, CT Scans, etc.) that have added substantially to the nation's health care bill.

Indeed, perhaps the most significant reason Americans are drowning in health care debt may shock you: Americans are getting far too much unnecessary care. Of our total $2.3 trillion health care bill last year, a whopping $500 billion to $700 billion was spent on treatments, tests, and hospitalizations that did nothing to improve our health. Even worse, new evidence suggests that too much health care may actually be killing us. According to estimates by Elliott Fisher, M.D., a noted Dartmouth researcher, unnecessary care leads to the deaths of as many as 30,000 Medicare recipients annually.

Ah - The ol' preventative care argument - Another BS spin that has increased the costs of health care in the US.

According to the CBO and the New England Journal of Medicine:

A study in the journal Circulation found that for cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, "if all the recommended prevention activities were applied with 100 percent success," the prevention would cost almost 10 times as much as the savings, increasing the country's total medical bill by 162 percent. Elmendorf additionally cites a definitive assessment in the New England Journal of Medicine that reviewed hundreds of studies on preventive care and found that more than 80 percent of preventive measures added to medical costs. ...

^ Can you cite a single specific case where hospital care was denied because of the inability to pay? It simply is not true. There are numerous government programs already in place that pay for health care for low income and uninsured patients.

Government programs directly cover 27.8% of the population (83 million), including the elderly, disabled, children, veterans, and some of the poor, and federal law mandates public access to emergency services regardless of ability to pay. Public spending accounts for between 45% and 56.1% of U.S. health care spending.

Government funded programs include:

    * Medicare, generally covering citizens and long-term residents 65 years and older and the disabled.
    * Medicaid, generally covering low income people in certain categories, including children, pregnant women, and the disabled. (Administered by the states.)
    * State Children's Health Insurance Program, which provides health insurance for low-income children who do not qualify for Medicaid. (Administered by the states, with matching state funds.)

Now I agree - Our system is definately broke and needs reform. I just don't agree with the government taking it over. I can't think of a single government program that is run more efficiently than the private sector (i.e. Post Office vs. FedEx), and the one's they do run (Social Security, Medicare, etc) are all failing.
