Photos: Steer slaughter at Callicrate Ranch -- and why Mike Callicrate has a beef with just about everyone
Earlier this week, on Monday, I spent the afternoon in Kansas -- specifically St. Francis, Kansas, a small, sleepy town just a few miles east of the Kansas/Colorado border, population a mere 1,200.
Cattle far, far outweigh humans in St. Francis -- there are thousands and thousands of them -- and on Monday, I, along with several chefs from Linger, Root Down and Fuel Cafe, experienced what most people never have, and likely never will: We witnessed the slaughter of a steer, a beautiful, majestic Black Angus beast that suffered a single shot -- a bolt -- between the eyes before he slumped to the ground with a dull thud. The knocker was quick and precise.

Callicrate, the cattle ranch and slaughterhouse where we all herded -- and which is owned by a fiercely opinionated, radically passionate man by the name of Mike Callicrate -- exposes sloping hills pelted with short, lush, green grass, and it's small in comparison to most industrialized farms.The lackadaisical cows and steers -- hormone- and antibiotic-free Black Angus and Wagyu -- graze on grains, hay and grass, and they're slaughtered, singularly, on an outdoor kill floor, often in front of witnesses -- in our case, twenty. Photos are allowed, even encouraged. It's an unusually humane, transparent business practice.
Most industrialized feedlots are completely cut off from the public -- and certainly from journalists -- while packers with dehumanizing jobs that I can't even begin to fathom, slaughter, often brutally, upwards of 400 head of cattle each hour. That, too, is a number that I have a very difficult time comprehending.
But this 9,000-acre ranch stretched across winding turns of dusty dirt road? A quick kill, just one every 45 minutes, on site, at the farm. They're slaughtered and skinned by stoic men and women with very fast, precise fingers and unfaltering intensity. The cattle -- Callicrate has a head of around 2,500 -- don't travel hundreds of miles in livestock Semis, through blizzards or blistering heat, to wait out their fate. Instead, Callicrate has its own mobile trailer; the cattle are never transported on trucks. Still...under a brilliant blue sky, the mood was somber and gray.
Even now, I'm still struggling to make peace with the death...with watching the heavy chains wrapped around the steer's legs while his sleek, clean hide shimmered in the blaze of the sun and his tail still flicked from side to side; of looking upwards to the tractor above, where his body was suspended in air as he bled, a flowing river of blood staining the concrete red after his aorta was sliced with a sharp knife. There is no pleasure -- none -- in watching an animal die, especially at our expense.

Longtime bookseller David Ishii was quite a story himself
David Ishii, who owned an eclectic bookstore in Pioneer Square for more than 30 years, died Thursday.
Seattle Times arts writer
YouTube | David Ishii Bookseller
Video by Lowell Douglas Ing
David Ishii, whose secondhand bookstore was a fixture of the Pioneer Square neighborhood from 1972 to 2005, died Thursday at the age of 76.
At his own request, he had been taken off kidney dialysis last week, after doctors confirmed that his diabetes and kidney problems had taken an irreversible turn.
His friends were dismayed by the idea at first, documentary filmmaker Frank Abe said. "But he was firm."
Mr. Ishii was legendary for his unusual bookstore, which he opened in 1972, and his equally unusual business practices (he didn't take credit cards but would trustingly sell books to cashless strangers if they promised to send him a check).
He was equally well-known for his wide and eclectic range of arts interests, and spent many years on the boards of Allied Arts and the Allied Arts Foundation.
But he first became a noted figure in Seattle in the 1930s, under the toughest of circumstances. His mother died giving birth to him in 1935, and his father, battling cancer at the time, arranged for David, the youngest of seven siblings, to be cared for as a "community child" at Swedish Hospital for several years.
"David has a lot of mothers here," nurse Ruth Ulleland told The Seattle Times in 1939. "Every nurse on the floor keeps an eye on him — and everybody loves him."
Fred Moody, in a 2004 Pacific Northwest magazine profile, wrote that "Ishii may have done more than anyone in Seattle to give a human face to the interned in the eyes of the white community."
After the war, Mr. Ishii attended Queen Anne High School and Seattle Pacific College.
He worked for 15 years in The Seattle Times' advertising department, followed by five years at Seattle magazine. His bookstore, says Abe, became a "mecca" for Asian-American writers and artists within a few years of its opening. Rick Simonson of the Elliott Bay Book Co. told Moody in 2004, "David's store was like a stop on the Underground Railroad for Asian-American writers."
Abe first met Mr. Ishii in 1977, when he was a young actor visiting from San Francisco. He felt at home the minute he entered the bookstore, he says. The reason was two posters on prominent display next to each other. One was of John Okada, author of "No-No Boy," now a classic of Japanese-American literature. The other was of Lenn Sakata, a shortstop for the Baltimore Orioles — and the first Japanese American to play in the major leagues.
Mr. Ishii's bookstore and personal interests extended well beyond literature and baseball. In a 2005 interview, he said, "One time I got a wonderful collection on butterflies and moths. That doesn't happen too often. Another time we got a very good collection on children's books. When we get collections in depth is when we're able to expand our store."
In the same interview, Mr. Ishii, who had decided to close his store on First Avenue South, lamented the way that book dealing had become less personal in the computer age.
"I really like going to people's houses, where people live, and buy their books. There's nothing like that. But now booksellers often buy online. ... The thrill of going and seeing the book, and buying the book, and touching it, is gone."
Moody eloquently summed up Mr. Ishii's bookstore as "a place that simultaneously transcends history, makes history, buys and sells history, and disdains going along with the rest of us on history's wild ride."
Mr. Ishii blamed the closure of the store in part on health reasons but also, he said, because he feared the rent would rise.
Mr. Ishii's other passions included opera, chamber music, art shows, movies, dance — and fly-fishing.
His friend Laureen Mar said that when he was asked recently what his proudest achievement was, he didn't hesitate. It was his donation last December of close to 400 fly-fishing books, including some autographed rarities, to Western Washington University's Special Collections library.
"They were thrilled and rightly so," says Mar. "It was extremely generous."
When he retired, Mr. Ishii talked of spending more time with his books and actually getting a chance to read them. But Abe, with a chuckle, says Mr. Ishii may have spent just as much time following baseball on radio and TV.
Mr. Ishii took Abe to his first Mariners game — and gave him guidance on how to enjoy it.
"He taught me patience," Abe says. "He always said baseball is a game of moments: five or six exciting moments in every game, and you have to wait for them. ... He would find a kind of poetry even in a losing game."
Until the end, Ishii continued to buy books ("There were stacks of books," Mar says, "right around his bed") and he kept up his busy social schedule and arts activities.
Ray Ishii, Mr. Ishii's nephew, emphasizes, "He had a lot of interests he was very passionate about. But I think what he really enjoyed was being around people: telling stories, chatting with them, helping them. He just seemed to collect friends. He had many special friends."
Mr. Ishii is survived by brothers George Ishii and Bill Ishii, sisters Mary Ishii and Harriet Ishii, and many nieces and nephews.
At Mr. Ishii's request, there will be no public funeral or memorial service.

Ikea OTK, $7500 budget, almost done + a question Hi garden web people! I haven't spent much time here lately, although I did run this plan by you guys before we started. My husband and I bought this house as a foreclosure, and it had been vacant for 4 years. It was extremely heavily vandalized, definitely not livable. We loved it immediately. The kitchen has been mostly done for several months, but there were a few details that I wanted to get finished before I posted. This is not our first renovation, we have done several budget kitchen renos before, so we are experienced DIYers. I like to post these because there are lots of very high budget kitchens here, and I think it's nice to see what can be done with less money. So, here is the cost breakdown: 3900 cabs (adel off white), counters (oak), range hood (all IKEA, 20% off sale) **because the entire house had to be re-drywalled, I didn't include that cost, not sure how to separate that out. It's the only part of the reno that we did not do ourselves. |

Follow-Up Postings:
OK! Finally got the photo thing correct, I think. Hopefully you guys can see them. Here is the question: This is where the pantry is now (found the doors on the side of the road!) Nothing has been painted yet, and the glass will either be frosted or have fabric behind it to hide the mess. |
From House on Chick Road |
I'm thinking about doing a paint scheme like this (photo from designsponge) only not black, probably turquoise.
What do you think? Too much?
This post was edited by raenjapan on Tue, May 21, 13 at 18:00
I love projects like this, Raenjapan, so hopped to the link, only to see "page was not found." Sorry. |
So you aren't seeing any pics? They're showing up for me. I swear this site drives me crazy trying to post pics. |
I just wanted to tell you what an amazing job you've done for such a small budget! Beautiful! I think your painting idea would look cool, not sure about turquoise. But I like the look of the photo you posted. |
Well done! It came out great. I have to admit I was looking more at your paddock fencing than kitchen hardware ;) |
Cool doors! And beautiful kitchen. I always love seeing the budget ones, because that's what I do. I'm not crazy about the two-tone door plan. I would paint them turquoise, but do the whole door, and make sure it contrasts with the wall. |
I'm seeing the pictures now. Wonderful! It all looks terrific, and I know it works great too because I have Ikea. And your pantry! You know, I love the way shelves crowded with food add to the ambience of a kitchen, such as a pantry behind glass doors. To me, where the layout allows it's a great decorative feature. It doesn't sound as if you do, but yours are perfectly located for it. Fill 'em up? Please post pix showing what you did with this area. Whatever, it's perfect for having a little fun. |

Really nice. I would leave it uncover too. |
This angle got left out of the post, and I like it, so here: |
From House on Chick Road |
I think you're right about the two tone thing on the pantry. Too weird, I think. What I'm thinking now is to paint the wood white to match the cabinets, and the doors and hardware black, and use a colorful (maybe a print or linen?) fabric behind the glass. (I think some people can pull off the cute stuffed pantry look, rosie, but I don't think I can. Too much random stuff in plastic bags. Being neat is a struggle for me, I don't want to worry about how the insides of cabinets look.)
Wow! What a great job. I love seeing budget kitchens and yours is fantastic. Anyone can make a space fabulous with gobs of money (and too many make a space terrible with gobs of money!) but it takes talent to do beautiful on a budget! You should silver leaf your pantry door glass; it would look great in your kitchen. http://littlegreennotebook.blogspot.com/2011/03/mirrored-silver-leafed-cabinets.html |
Here is a link that might be useful: Silver Leaf your glass!!
- Posted by IowaCommute (My Page) on Tue, May 21, 13 at 22:15
I love the vintage fabric or wallpaper idea. Ive considered that myself for glass cabinets because I get tired of colors and patterns. I followed the link to the silver leaf, and it broke my heart to see anything happen to that cabinet. |
I think you did AWESOME. I love the fact the budget included some appliances. Many people here think you need $30k to redo a kitchen and you have proved them wrong. |
Raenjapan, What an amazing new kitchen you did for such a great price! Your floors look so pretty and I would have never guessed them to be laminate floors. The appliances look amazing and I love the overall look! I also love the lazy Susan. I wish I had someone to help me do my kitchen as I know Labor on top of the material may double the price but that would still be a great price for your beautiful new kitchen. Thank you for sharing. |
Chick Road is looking darn chic. That first shot? Looks amazingly high end. $7500. You are my hero. I also enjoy seeing IKEA kitchens, too. Thanks so much for sharing - and for the eye candy. |
Great job. I noticed the counter brackets. Very similar to ours, but we had our fabricated locally since we couldn't get the size we wanted. What size are yours and where do you get them? |
Thank you all for the kind words! This is the first kitchen I've gotten to design and live in completely, and I'm really happy with how it works. The wood counters are lovely to use. Whit 461, re: the brackets, I found them on clearance for something like $1.45 each at Lowes, in the decking section. They're PVC. I had been indecisive about what to do there, (the counter was propped up with 2x4s to that point) so I was pretty excited. |
Nice kitchen!!! |
Gorgeous! And what an inspiration. |

Nice results! On the Island, what is the trim piece that looks custom? Did you find a paint match for the Adel white sides? |

Not the OP, but we've matched Benjamin Moore Paper Mache with the ADEL white cabinet doors for our kitchen reno. But I am still wondering if there's a better match out there! |
Your kitchen is gorgeous. It reminds me of some of the ones done by Sarah Richardson. She uses IKEA cabs frequently. Good job! |
- Posted by acheavacci (My Page) on Wed, May 22, 13 at 11:49
Congrats!! Looks fantastic. How long did the reno take? Where did you purchase the pendants? OT - Love your dogs :) |
Great kitchen! Turquoise (your table's color appears as turquoise in my browser) would be real nice. |
It's hard to say how long the reno really took, because we were doing the whole house, interior and exterior, plus adding a garage+mudroom and creating pastures for the horses all at the same time. We've owned the house for 10 months at this point. The kitchen was functional but not finished about 3 months after we bought the house. I'll say that if we were doing only the kitchen, with wiring and drywall in place, we could probably install everything in 2-3 weeks if we were only working on the kitchen. The Ikea cabs were extremely easy to assemble and install. Definitely easier than per-asembled cabinets we've put in other houses. The paint on all our trim is Valspar's Betsy's Linen. I think it's pretty good match for the Adel off white. Pendants are off the rack at Lowes, $50 each, I believe. Those are one element that I could see the value of going more expensive on. The finish could be a bit smoother. I'm sure most people would never notice, but someday I'll probably replace them with something else. kiko, I like the silver leaf, but this kitchen actually turned out a bit more glitzy than I really was going for (accumulation of small choices, lol) and I'm wanting to tone that down a bit. It's fun look, though. :) |
That is amazing! Love it -- and no one would believe it only cost that much, and including appliances! |

I went through the pics of your house and I love your bathroom! It is really nice to see a budget reno. I have had a hard time looking at most of the kitchens because they are so crazy expensive. We're unwilling to spend that much. We will be building in a few years and will do all of the finishing. Good luck on your other projects and I hope you share them with us! |
IowaCommute, that vanity was an old dresser we found at a garage sale for $20! This is what it looked like when we bought it: |

After for those who didn't look at the album:
- Posted by michoumonster (My Page) on Wed, May 22, 13 at 18:14
wow, you did an amazing job! your resourcefulness amazes me too! i love your fireplace too. how about just painting your pantry doors turqiouse and leaving the wood wall as is, maybe just clearcoated or made a little more rustic? that will look so unique and cool! looking forward to your finished kitchen! |
Holy cow, this is incredible. Looks like you spent easily three times as much! The individual elements are wonderful in themselves (eg, I envy you your faucet find for $120 and I want to take you shopping with me :)) but all put together is what really makes this kitchen shine. You have a lovely sense of style. Congratulations on your wonderful space. |

Can you tell me what the dimensions of your L are? And, if you didn't have the window above your sink (with the fridge where it is) do you think all your light (from patio doors) would be blocked by the fridge? I have a similar layout to yours (or *could* have a similar layout if I remodeled to an L, which I'd like to do), but I am trying to figure out if my "L" is long enough on the 2 legs and if the fridge would block all my light (I can't get a window over the sink like you have). TIA! |
What a great reno! As others said, it's fun to see kitchens redone so well without breaking the bank. What backsplash did you use? |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Wed, Jun 5, 13 at 11:46
That is jaw-droppingly astounding ... and some shrewd shopping. Not just the price, but the way it all just "fits" with a bit of quirk to it. |
Kirkhall, the L is 12'6" to the edge of the fridge, and 9' wide on the stove side (those are empty-room dimensions). I don't find that the fridge blocks the light, but this house does have very good light, with the three sliders, and the skylight above the sink. It's hard to say whether that would translate to another house. Overall, I'm finding this layout really functional, though. Anne2326, the backsplash was something they had at lowes a while back. It was kind of my splurge for the kitchen, at $10 a SF. It's recycled glass, and a little blingier than I really intended. :-) Here is a closeup (please excuse the lack of counter behind the stove, it's one of the details we haven't gotten around to yet. |
Amazing job! |
Thanks for the info on the backsplash! |
It is looking great. You might want to consider using Solyx film on the glass. They have lots of options for different colors and opacity levels of frosted or textured glass. We are using the film on our glass pantry doors as soon as I pick a pattern. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Solyx
lovely kitchen. Do you know the width of the stiles and rails on the cab doors. Is it 3" or 2 1/2"? Thanks.. |
Oh, I love some of the Solyx films and have been looking for something to use them on. I could definitely see one of them here. But, Raenjapan...stocked pantry cute? If it's cute, it's not real. Like a cute display of cook's knives, I think someone really has to try. Maybe scalloped checked shelf paper and a little pile of Campbell's soup cans sitting on a cookbook to set of the collection of porcelain chickens that fills the rest? I'm terminally disorganized myself, but the humid, buggy South forces me to put stuff in jars and other tight containers. I'll toss all the different dried peppers, specialty flours, or rices in one together (still in their own bags), put the lid on, and tada! Deception. :) I really like what you're doing and looking forward to more pix. Will you have other projects once the kitchen is finished (for now at least)? |
Hmm...I like the solyx films, thanks. I'll definitely consider those. I've painted the wall white, and the doors black. I'd take pics but I've been painting trim for other rooms and the house is a mess right now. Maybe later today. Not sure about the stile width tbo123. I'll try to remember to measure for you later. There are always other projects, Rosie! We did a mudroom addition to this house, and I'm trimming that out right now, then I'll get to do built-ins in there. (Honestly, I hate trim work, takes forever and is monotonous, but must be done). We have a bathroom that is just studs and rough-in plumbing right now. I'm looking forward to starting that. The loft needs a few finishing details. The laundry room hasn't really been touched, just tiled and then threw the W/D in there. It looks like crap right now, but at least it's functional. Lots of projects! I'd be happy to share if anyone is interested. |
I'm sure they would be, Raenjapan. Visitors looking for ideas and inspiration that don't require large budgets vastly outnumber whose who post plans for pricey kitchens, even if many don't speak up. Plus, it's just plain fascinating to see the results of synergies that develop from creative minds and tight budgets. :) |
- Posted by IowaCommute (My Page) on Thu, Jun 6, 13 at 11:05
I'd love to see more! You've proven you are creative and have a good eye-everyone can benefit from that. We will build a home in another year or two on the family farm. It will be a small 20s look bungalow. We will do almost all of the finishing work. I am a good budget shopper and DIYer, but it would be nice to see the rest of your wonderful house and how you chose your finishes for a higher end look. |
- Posted by threegraces (My Page) on Thu, Jun 6, 13 at 21:34
Awesome job! Can't believe you did that for that price. Be proud :) |
I had to come back to look at your kitchen since I remember being amazed at how beautiful it looked on a budget. Thank you again for sharing and letting us know the paint color you used to try to match the Ikea doors. |
Wow! That looks amazing! I agree about the two-toned pantry cabinet--paint the whole thing the same color. I am biased toward turquoise, so I am loving that idea. :) I can't believe you did all that for $7500--including appliances! That is incredible! I also love your bathroom vanity. That looks gorgeous! Major kudos to you for such a fantastic reno! |
Whoops-- I just read that you painted them black. I bet that looks really striking! Looking forward to the pics! |
Here is the finished pantry. I like fabric behind the glass just because it's easy to change out if I get tired of it. Thanks again for all the lovely comments! |
Here is the before pic from the same angle. Just because it amuses me. :) |
Your kitchen is beautiful! You are either extremely talented or a magician. I'm going with extremely talented:) |

TO: Walt Wrede, City Manager
FROM: Carey Meyer, Public Works Director
DATE: July 16, 2013
SUBJECT: Sewer Manhole Repair/Erosion Protection
Construction Contract Award Recommendation
Last winter, a sewer manhole near a creek became the source of serious inflow which caused the flooding of four homes and damaged the sewer treatment plant. The cause of this problem was the frost heaving of the upper manhole sections combined with high creek flows that eroded the bank, exposing the manhole to creek water. Cold early winter temperatures (with no snow cover) created deep frost penetration and unusually high frost heave potential in Homer last winter. Warm temperatures, rain and snow melt created unusually high creek flows in late December. Public Works has developed a plan to repair the manhole and prevent this unusual circumstance from happening again.
The repair consists of exposing the manhole's exterior, wrapping the exterior with a waterproof membrane, and providing a riprap slope between the creek and the manhole. This will minimize the potential for the manhole sections to frost jack (creating a smooth outer surface), making the manhole water-tight, and prevent future flood events to erode the bank and expose the manhole to creek flow.
This work is planned to be completed in August when creek flows are low. The culvert that was placed in the creek by Public Works crews to divert flows past the manhole during the event will be removed. A Corps of Engineer's permit will be required to work in and adjacent to the creek. Public Works is in the process of competitively bidding this repair work (in accordance with the City's Procurement Manual).
The City Council has previously authorized funds from the Sewer Reserve account for the repair of flood damage resulting from the event and for implementing mitigation measures (Ordinance 13-08) Fiscal Note: 256-379. If the cost of this work exceeds the previously authorized budget, additional City Council authorization will be acquired during the mid-year budget adjustment.
RECOMMENDATION: The City Council pass a resolution awarding the Meadow-Wood Place Subdivision Sanitary Sewer Manhole Repair Project to the low bidder in the amount of the low bid and authorized the City Manager to execute the appropriate documents.
Fiscal Note: 256-379 (Sewer Reserve Fund)

Curriculum for Doctor of Philosophy in Neuroscience (PhD)
You are here
The PhD Degree Program in Neuroscience provides students with an opportunity to earn a doctoral degree in the fast-growing and opportunity-rich area of biology. While DSU provides students with a comfortable, familiar and nurturing environment in which they can pursue their Ph.D. in Neuroscience, the program also has linkages with faculty researchers at the University of Delaware and the A.I. duPont Children's Hospital that provide opportunities for DSU students to access a broad range of research training with high-profile investigators working at the cutting edge of neuroscience research.
Our Ph.D. program brings together students and faculty throughout the state making it a truly inter-institutional program. As students of the only biology-based neuroscience degree program in the state, DSU students will be recruited by neuroscience researchers at all institutions, while our specialized neuroscience graduate courses and seminars will be attractive to students in UD's biology and psychology graduate programs who are interested in neuroscience. In addition to providing opportunities to students, DSU's neuroscience Ph.D. program will contribute to scientific workforce development in Delaware by offering new educational and research training opportunities to state residents.

to Experience Aerosim Flight Academy
To learn more about the career and becoming a professional airline pilot, the admissions process, financial aid options, our airline pathway agreements, and much more, please contact us at 1 800 U CAN FLY or by filling out the form.
Aerosim has partnership agreements with many top regional airlines designed to provide cadets with a guaranteed job interview and the appropriate pathway ensuring the right preparation to be fully successful. The Aerosim Pilot Pathway Programs have been designed to meet the new FAA hiring requirements to ensure a long and prosperous airline career encouraging the following: airline preparation from day one, discipline and respect, leadership and communication, effective resource management, command authority, and decision making. To learn more about the process from start (admissions) to finish (interview at the airline), complete the form above or call us at 1-800-U-CAN-FLY.
We believe success at Aerosim Flight Academy starts on day one. With the new hiring minimums established by the FAA set to 1500 hours, flight training with a selected airline pilot pathway and then building hours through flight instruction is critical for our cadet's success at the airline. There are many flight schools out there that meet the minimum standards, provide good flight training at a low cost, and deliver the necessary certificates to reach an airline. But, what is important is a "flight-line" ready pilot at an airline. Airline washout rates are high, but we are in the business of ensuring cadets are prepared for the flight-line on day one of training at Aerosim Academy.
"When i decided to pursue a career as an airline pilot, the biggest decision was where to obtain my training. For me, the choice was easy. Each step in the process is laid out to facilitate the transition from one rating to the next and eventually the First Officer interview at an airline. There are other flight schools out there that train pilots, but for anyone whose goal is to get to the airlines, Aerosim Flight Academy is the easy choice!"

Tipoffs: Speaker Bass trying to force orderly transition.
Monthly Archives: November 2009
Who's the insider?
With less than two weeks remaining, the 2nd City Council District election has turned into a contest of who is the outsider. Daily News.
In mailings, in robo-calls, in attacks on one another, businesswoman Chris Essel and Assemblyman Paul Krekorian, D-Burbank, have sought to portray each other as the "insider" who cannot be trusted.
To Krekorian, Essel is the "downtown special interest" candidate who has received endorsements from a number of City Council members, city employee unions and Controller Wendy Greuel, who was the council member of the district until her election last March.
Hollywood vs neighborhoods
Colfax Meadows could be considered ground zero in the debate over the future of the entertainment industry in Los Angeles.Daily News.
Residents in the 40-by-40 square-block area complain they have become the backlot for the industry — with seemingly perpetual filming in their neighborhood causing nuisances like noise and traffic.
"For the longest time, I could not recall seeing a shoot here. Now, it seems like it's a constant thing," said Stu Miller, who has lived in the Colfax Meadows area for 37 years.
Mayor on road to Mexico
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa today begins a four-day trip to Mexico, where he will lead a delegation of artists to the 2009 Guadalajara International Book Fair. Daily News.
Thanks to a $2.1 million grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, more than 450 local authors, artists and filmmakers will display their work and perform at the festival, which runs for more than a week.
Villargaigosa will be the guest of honor at the festival.
The Valley's new top cop
After Los Angeles police Capt. Kirk J. Albanese assumed command of Foothill Division six years ago, a Latino family called 911 to report a burglary. Dana Bartholomew in the Daily News.
The next day, 12 gang members in white T-shirts banged on their door warning them never to speak to police again. That same week, the gang terrorized a security guard at the San Fernando Valley's only housing project.
So the new area captain pounced. Albanese dispatched four cops into San Fernando Gardens in Pacoima – 24/7. And ordered them out of their black-and-whites.
"I said, `You park your car at the community center and you get in it when you go home.' They walked a foot beat 24 hours a day," said Albanese, 54, now a deputy chief and commander of the South Bureau.
"We planted a flag and crime was gone."
LAUSD to reduce district offices
In a concession to unions, Los Angeles Unified Schools chief Ramon Cortines said Tuesday he will eliminate half the number of local district offices he helped create a few years ago in a bid to reduce next year's deficit of nearly $500 million. Connie Llanos in the Daily News.
But Cortines said savings from the move will amount to just $12 million, and tougher cutbacks, including layoffs, will have to be made to balance the budget.
"There is no way to avoid cuts," Cortines said at a special budget meeting called to inform the school board about the district's worsening financial outlook.
$930,000 grant for recreation areas
A nearly $1 million grant from the National Parks Service will help recreational areas in the Santa Monica Mountains remain open and avoid cuts in services, officials said Tuesday. Troy Anderson in the Daily News.
The $939,169 grant to the Angeles District of California State Parks will allow parks in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area to operate at last year's service levels, said Woody Smeck, the NPS superintendent of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.
"By granting these funds, our desire is to maintain the efficiency of the national parks while providing for public enjoyment and use of the interlocking state and national parks that exist in the Santa Monica Mountains," Smeck said.
City nears final pot law
With Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa vowing to block any measure that allows for-profit pot sales, the City Council managed Tuesday to hammer out some guidelines for a long-awaited medical marijuana ordinance.Daily News.
During a five-hour session marked by an hourlong power outage, the council debated details of the measure, including signage, location and odor control.
The major issue, however, remains reimbursement. District Attorney Steve Cooley recently said he will prosecute any pot clinics engaging in over-the-counter sales of marijuana, and Villaraigosa said Tuesday he will not sign any ordinance that violates state law.
Smith and Zine to back Essel
Valley Councilmen Dennis Zine and Greig Smith announced today that they are supporting Valley businesswoman Christine Essel in the race to succeed Wendy Greuel as City Councilwoman for District 2. Village to Village blog.
Beck names his team
Newly appointed LAPD Chief Charlie Beck named his top command staff Monday and set up two new offices – including a special services division that will oversee counter terrorism and the detectives bureau – in a reorganization designed to "increase efficiency and improve effectiveness." Daily News.
In a briefly worded department memo, Beck promoted Deputy Chief Michel Moore, who now heads the Valley Bureau, to assistant chief in charge of the new Office of Special Services.
Moore, who was in the running with Beck for the job of chief, is one of three assistant chiefs and one of six direct reports to Beck.

I use cooking for therapy. I love to cook alone, with my husband or bother, or with a whole bunch of people. I'm a commuter, so after a long day I don't have much time. I love to spend all weekend in the kitchen getting ready for the week and relaxing. My brother and I learned to cook from my grandmother and adopted her passion for preparing food as well. I consider learing to cook well one of my greatest accomplishments.
I love seafood and anything tomato based.
Everyone loves my Chili - the secret is to never make it the same way twice and wait on the weather!
My brother is a chef, so his restaurant is my favorite!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Academic Convocation and the college commencement ceremonies?
The Academic Convocation recognizes graduates from all of the
colleges at RIT with a focus on the graduating class as a group.
Graduates process and recess with their college and during the ceremony,
they will be recognized as a group by college (i.e. would all the
graduates from the College of Liberal Arts please stand and be recognized,
etc.). RIT's president officially confers degrees and addresses
the graduates, a keynote speaker,
as well as student speakers, are featured.
Each college then hosts its own commencement ceremony for its graduates.
At this ceremony, the focus is on the individual as each graduate
crosses the stage and is personally introduced and recognized for
his or her accomplishments. Graduating students should plan to wear
their caps and gowns at both the Academic Convocation and their
individual college commencement ceremony.
How many tickets can I have for the ceremonies?
Tickets are not needed for any of the college commencement ceremonies
and there is no limit to the number of guests who may attend. Details on tickets
and seating for the Academic Convocation will be announced when the speaker is confirmed.
Seating for all ceremonies is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Some departments may request an RSVP for their receptions; you will
be contacted directly by the department if that is the case.
Who is eligible to participate in the Academic Convocation and college commencement ceremonies?
Students who will complete their degree requirements within the academic year of 2013-2014 are eligible to graduate. Please see your advisor to confirm your eligibility.
What about guests who need special seating?
Both the Gordon Field House and Activities Center and the Ritter Ice Arena are accessible to those with special needs, including wheelchairs. Please check in with an usher upon your arrival and he or she will work with you and your guests to accommodate your needs as best we can. Please note, however, that there is no reserved special seating sections in either facility.
How early should we plan to arrive?
For the Academic Convocation, you should plan to arrive on campus at least an hour before the program begins.
For the college commencement ceremonies:
If you are a graduate, you should consult the line-up information included on the ceremony schedule.
Guests should know that we have ceremonies occurring all day on both Friday and Saturday and so you may have to wait if there is a ceremony in progress when you arrive. There is ample seating for all guests; seating is on first-come, first-serve basis. Plan to arrive on campus about an hour prior to the start of each ceremony to allow ample time for parking and shuttling to the ceremony sites. If you have special seating needs, you may want to add 15 minutes.
When will I receive my degree?
Approximately 10 weeks after graduation, you will receive your degree in the mail from the Registrar's Office. Please be sure your mailing information is correct on SIS.
How much walking is involved in getting around campus?
The RIT campus is large and there is a fair amount of walking involved. We offer shuttle service from all of the parking lots to the college ceremony locations and various points throughout campus. In addition, we have a fleet of golf carts operated by RIT staff volunteers to help transport elderly guests or those who have mobility difficulties. Carts can be requested from any of the information booths, ceremony locations, or the main shuttle drop-off at Parking Lot D. Please be aware that you may have to wait for a golf cart immediately prior to and after the Academic Convocation and college ceremonies when demand is at its highest.
Do you have wheelchairs available on campus?
We do not have wheelchairs available on campus. You may rent wheelchairs from Monroe Wheelchair, (888)546-8595, or Fonte Surgical Supply, (585)338-1000.

LauraDISNEY SCRAPPER
Wow, zots? what are those?
xyron - is that the sticker thing? I have a small one....
I would love to have that big thing to make the adhesive backing or put the other toner in to laminate!
Do you ever use wire words? I have a hard time attaching those to a page - any suggestions?
I have just started using the brads (easier than those punch things you have to use equipment to fix), and the scissors worked just fine.....
ugh....today is scrapbook day for the pioneers here at work - wish me luck!
Zots are wonderful! They come in different diam. and thicknesses (is that a word ). I use them to attatch fibers, metal... anything, and they are clear .Originally Posted by GaRain
Good luck with your pages today. I would love to see them when you are done.
LauraDISNEY SCRAPPER
I agree....zots are great for wire words and a whole lot more.....Originally Posted by zcook9
As for the Xyron, yes, I use it all the time........I have a Sizzix machine and it is great for shapes and letters. I also used it to attach my dalmation felt dots to white pants for last years Halloween costume. It worked really well.
FYI, there are new eyelets that do not need special tools to use, you just use a pen, and Memories carries them and I am sure the others will follow soon. They are by Eyelet Oulet and called Quicklets.....they aren't too expensive either.
I use brads but eyelets are better when you are getting close to a corner.
I'll have to post the cards I made since I haven't done my own books yet. FYI, leftover cardstock and papers make great cards. Anyways, I get too many requests for them from functions I have attended.....weddings, birthday parties, and baby/bridal showers. Someday I'll get to do some of my own pictures for a change......It's a shame I just never thought to scan them before I gave them away.
I need to help Stitch finish Flutter's WDW book so we can get that up for viewing. It came out totally awesome but needs a little tweaking and the journaling needs to be fixed.
Sorry, I'm not usually so wordy but don't forget I have listings of scrap stores in the backs of my Creating Keepsakes books and a bunch of other magazines. If anyone wants me to I can pm or scan and email the list to you to see if there are any near where you live.
Gawrsh! Hyuk!
Well Janet, don't be worried about being wordy. It's all good here. Thanks for the info on the hammerless eyelets. I can't wait to get my hands on some of those. I also can't wait to see the WDW book. I didn't realize that you live so close to April.
LauraDISNEY SCRAPPER
Hammerless eyelets.....very interesting! I will have to get used to using the brads first and then I may attempt those!
I made some vellum pockets using the brads, on the volunteer album that I am currently working on. They look so cute!!! I just wish they were cheaper!
I don't pay a lot for brads...how much did you pay for them and how many do you get in a box?
LauraDISNEY SCRAPPER
That's not bad at all. Are you hooked on using them a lot?
LauraDISNEY SCRAPPER
Ya'll know what a long weekend means... scrapbooking! I'll have time this weekend to get some more pages done and get them posted!
Happy Scrapping to all!!!!
LauraDISNEY SCRAPPER
Okay gang book coming along slowy but surely. Went to AC Moore at least several times over the weekend. They had some great sales.They had memory paper on sale for 20 cents so of course I loaded up on a bunch.I'm still taking pictures so as soon as I finsih the roll in the camera I will post. (I know I need to get a digital camera)
I finally found the memories store. I spent so much $$ there on some Disney stuff I had never seen. But they also had that black silohette (sp?) black Mickey album that I have been wanting for awhile.
Also visited Michael's - they had brads on sale! Now I paid only $1.57 for them!~
I am trying to find these nifty pens that they used on one of the scrapbooking shows on DIY. Crytal Laquer? have any of y'all heard of them?
Anyways.....I worked on the pioneer scrapbook most of yesterday. I feel like I made progress..... I will post the pictures of the Disney album that I took soon - hopefully! :mickey:

Other Pets at Adopt Me! Dog Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
HARRY, a Minnetonka Dachshund dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Dachshund for sale in Minnetonka, or seeking a Dachshund dog from a breeder in Minnetonka.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Minnetonka already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Minnetonka breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Dachshund breeders who help with Dachshund rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Minnetonka paves the way for another one to be saved.

Fantastic Hood Vent
By deenie
from Biloxi, MS, USA
This hood vent was used when we rebuilt our house after a fire. It adds so much to our kitchen and works wonderful. The noise level of the fan is extremely low and with our open floorplan you do not disturber other areas of the house when it is running. Love this vent.
Contemporary and Clean
By Starbird
from Barrington, IL
Best Uses
Self-explanatory use; contemporary lines; ss hood makes it easy to clean; variety of fan settings, from low (quieter) to high (rather noisy); wish there were more light settings - all 4 bulbs light through one button, always very bright - no night setting that I can find. Will edit to 5 stars if I discover options in the manual for light settings.
Nice look but issue with lights
By GG28
from San Diego, CA, USA
I like this product from the beginning because it is a good value and fits nicely in my kitchen. The only issue that they need to fix with it is the light bulbs burning out. It stopped burning out when I did not put my oils on the halogen bulbs but as soon as I figure that out the lights short out constantly. Trying to figure out how to fix but no service people in area work on Broan. It is maybe a faulty transformer for the lights. If the lights worked this would be a great buy. But I have had issues with the lights since install and trying to get some help to get it repaired.
Love the fact that it is hidden
By Lindylouwho
from Montreal, QC
We bought this product because it is hidden in the cabinets. Made a big difference to a regular hood. Stainless unfortunately even though it looks good, is very hard to get clean. Also makes alot of noise when you set the knob past the 1st setting.
This hood has great features & very easy to clean
By Mare2
from Marshalls Creek, PA 18335 USA
We just love our new Island Hood, it so very easy to keep clean and does a good job of getting rid of smoke & cooking odors, Only problem we've had is with the light bulbs 2 blew out after only a month and 2 more after about 3 or 4 months. We've replace them several time.

Unfortunately, your good time will often be tempered by a futzy command interface that doesn't always recognize your stylus input, although you can make a go at it using the directional pad. An overly clunky and confusing equipment menu didn't knock our socks off either.
Even so, with a lengthy campaign, an addictive battle system, and a cooperative multiplayer mode, Luminous Arc is the kind of title that you can lose yourself in. Of course, there's always a chance you'll accidentally smash your stylus through the touch screen when trying to position your players or tapping through endless text. After yet another well-earned victory, though, chances are that most of these problems will be forgiven.

A few years ago I wrote a series of articles entitled "Four Steps to Building a Healthier You." In those steps, I covered: How to Build Your Own Personalized Supplement Program, The Importance of Cleansing/Detoxification, Using Superfoods as Part of Your Everyday Diet/Supplement Regimen and Following My 4 Pillars of Health.
Looking back on this series, there could have been either a huge subcategory or fifth step added: Digestive Support.
Digestive Issues: Inside the numbers
More than 60 million Americans experience heartburn at least once a month, and about 25 million are daily sufferers
Chronic gastrointestinal disorders plague more than 95 million Americans
Two of the top five most widely prescribed prescription drugs in this country are for digestive disorders
Digestion-related problems cost Americans more than $100 billion dollars annually
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths behind lung cancer
So, do those numbers get your attention? They definitely grab mine. Considering these numbers and what digestion does for the body, you can see why we need to focus on either fixing our messed up digestive system, or keeping it fine-tuned. Optimal nutrition begins and ends with healthy digestion. Instead of "death begins in the colon" we should say "life begins in the digestive tract."
The 4 Functions of the Digestive System
Having a healthy digestive system is critical for ALL of us, regardless of age. The digestive system is responsible for these four critical functions in your body:
1. Digestion: Breaks down food into micro-particles
2. Absorption: Converts nutrients into absorbable forms
3. Elimination: Removes waste/toxins
4. Immunity: Protects from foreign microbes either in or on your foods
The Keys to Healthy Digestion
A healthy digestive system is built on the basics:
It comes back to Diet, Exercise, Spirituality and Supplementationmy 4 Pillars of Great Health.
We know that a diet high in fiber and water and low in bad fats and refined foods will lead to a healthier digestive system. We know that exercise will significantly improve digestion (for multiple reasons). We know that spirituality (reduction of stressors, etc.) will dramatically improve digestion. And supplements can and do play a critical role for all of us, whether or not we have a digestive disorder.
Risk Factors for Digestive Problems
Before I get into what supplements you need, let's take a look at what factors can increase your risk of developing digestive problems:
Poor diet
High stress
Habitual eating on the run
Use of NSAIDs
Dairy consumption (in excess)
Use of antibiotics
Use of OTC or prescription antacids
Use of hormones (even bio-identical)
Use of steroids (not necessarily the ones athletes use)
Health issues (diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular, arthritis, depression, eating disorders, etc.)
The Effects of Poor Digestion
At the beginning of this article, I mentioned that digestion could have been part of "Four Steps
to Building a Healthier You." Let's say that I am
eating the best possible diet and taking the best possible supplements, and my digestive system
is functioning at 100 percent. Then I will get
everything possible out of my foods and
supplements to aid my body. However, if my
digestive system is only operating at 75 percent, then my digestion and absorption of the
nutrients in those awesome foods and
supplements will be decreased. I would guess that most Americans are functioning at 50-60 percent digestively.
This would be like using the best possible fuel for your carbut having a clogged up fuel line or filter. The car (your body) won't function the way it was designed to function. Now, take that same person with poor digestion and give them a poor diet (typical American diet)and the car becomes more like a freight train headed out of control. If you ever wonder why you can't get better or achieve better health, just take a look at your digestion and diet.
Your poor digestion will lead to nutrient depletions that could end up causing other health-related issues. Even modern medicine understands that prolonged depletions of different nutrients can and will lead to serious health problems. Whether it is Vitamin D and the increased risk of certain cancers, or magnesium, vanadium and chromium in Type II diabetes, nutrient depletions have pretty significant effects on your long-term health. And these are just two of hundreds and even thousands of possible depletions linked to life-threatening diseases.
So, let's fix our digestive system! There are a few key areas to look at in the supplement section of your local Vitamin Shoppe: probiotics, prebiotics, enzymes, fiber and cleansing are some great areas to start.
Probiotics Probiotics have been covered before in my past newsletters. Refer to the article section of vitaminshoppe.com for more details. In short probiotics are friendly bacteria that are found in your digestive system. Probiotics serve two purposes: they complete the digestive process and help protect against pathogens (disease- causing bacteria, fungus, yeast, etc.) found in or on your food. Without enough of these beneficial bacteria, you will be unable to fully digest your food particles into micro particles, or convert some of those nutrients into the absorbable or usable forms that the body needs. Probiotics are essential for the absorption of nutrients, and also help the body to synthesize Vitamin B and K, absorb minerals and digest proteins, fats, carbohydrates and fiber. Throw in the benefits to your immune system and we have a winner. Probiotics are depleted by stress, aging, high-carbohydrate diets, antibiotic use and also by consuming non-purified water and non-organic foods. Lack of proper levels of probiotics can also lead to the overgrowth of E. coli and H. pylori.
Prebiotics Prebiotics are often overlooked. A prebiotic is considered food for your probiotics. A probiotic that contains a prebiotic is like using grass seed with a starter fertilizer added. If you don't have enough food for your good bacteria (probiotics) they will die off prematurely. You can find inulin or FOS (the two most common prebiotic supplements) either by themselves, or added to your probiotic formula.
Digestive Enzymes Digestive enzymes are used to help support the breakdown of your foods. I often estimate that 70+ percent of your body's energy goes into digesting your foods. Coming up short on enough digestive enzymes will lead to nutrient depletions, and having food particles go through your system undigested. This can lead to problems such as toxin buildup, flatulence, odor issues, allergies, sensitivities and more. The primary digestive enzymes are: protease (for proteins), amylase (starches), lipase (fats), cellulase (plant cell membranes). There are also targeted enzymes available for specific needs, such as lactase for lactose intolerance.
Fiber Fiber should never be overlooked. The average diet contains around 20 grams of fiber each day yet we should be consuming 35+ grams per day. Fiber can help you manage your weight, balance blood sugar, lower cholesterol, keep your digestive tract clean, decrease constipation and diarrhea, improve immune function, reduce your risk of heart attack and much more than I can list here.
I tell my children that fiber is the snowplow of the colon (this always makes them laugh). A friend of mine described fiber as the toothbrush of the colon. Regardless, fiber is another critical component in digestive system health. If you can't get enough fiber from your diet (fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, legumes, etc.) then you need to supplement. The most popular fiber sources are psyllium and flax seeds. You can also find chia seeds, inulin and glucomannan at your local Vitamin Shoppe. All of these are great fiber sources, but I prefer flax and chia seeds. Flax and chia are not only awesome sources of fiber, but can also provide your body with other healthy nutrients (why not get more bang for your buck?). If you have issues with fiber supplements, you can always cheat and buy fiber bars. These bars usually taste great and contain 10 to 15 grams of added fiber taste great. Personally, I prefer you to get fiber from your diet, but I also understand that most people will never change their eating habits.
Cleansing Cleansing is something that often gets overlooked with regard to digestive maintenance and care. Colon cleansing and liver cleansing will help keep your colon, liver and gallbladder clean and functional. We need to cleanse all systems, but for those with digestive issues, periodic colon and liver cleansing is even more important. Cleansing will help eliminate the buildup of environmental toxins, metals, airborne chemicals, water and foods we consume. Remember, your colon is on the inside of your body what your skin is on the outside of your body. Cleansing will improve energy, digestive function, immune function, nervous system function, hormonal balance, sleep, skin and a whole lot more!
Finally, there are many other supplements that
support healthy digestion. Many of these can be
purchased separately (or in a combination formula) to address your specific digestive issues. Here is a short list to get you started:
Ginger: indigestion
Slippery Elm: soothing
DGL: heartburn and acid reflux
Dandelion: constipation, indigestion
Mastic Gum: heartburn and acid reflux
Peppermint: indigestion, cramping, gas
Magnesium: safe and effective for constipation
Aloe: soothes inflammation and helps with

The M1 Abrams was followed by the M1A1, with first production example being completed in August 1985 and continued until early 1993. General Dynamics Land Systems began delivering the first of 299 FY90 M1A1 MBTs in April 1991. Delivery was completed by September 1991, after which tank assembly ceased at Detroit Arsenal Tank Plant. The main features of the M1A1 are new suspension, various transmission modifications, improved armor protection, and the redesigned M1A1 turret gun mount and bustle rack, among others. The M1A1 is the standard main battle tank of the U.S. armed forces, a total of 4,796 M1A1 tanks were built for the US Army and 221 for the US Marines. The first export customer for the M1A1 Abrams MBT was Egypt. The sale of 555 M1A1 MBTs to Egypt has been agreed and final deliveries were made in 1998. In March 2004, the Australian Army announced the purchase of 59 US Army M1A1 tanks to enter service from 2007. The contract was signed in November 2005 and the first five were handed over in February 2006 at GDLS in Lima, Ohio. In July 2008, the Iraqi Government requested the sale of 140 M1A1 tanks to be upgraded to the M1A1M configuration. The Iraqi Army received the final shipment of five M1A1 Abrams tanks in August 2011.
The M1A1 Abrams is motorized with a Honeywell AGT 1500 gas turbine engine coupled to an Allison automatic transmission X-1100-3B with 4 forward and 2 reverse gears. The M1A1 Abrams Tank can reach a maximum speed of approximately 68km/h with a maximum cruising range of 426 km. The torsion bar suspension of the M1A1 Abrams consists each side of seven road-wheels with rotary shock-absorbers at the first, second and seventh road-wheel stations. The top of the suspension is protected by vertical armoured skirts which hinge outwards to allow access to the suspension for maintenance. The drive sprocket is at the rear with the idler at the front and there are two return rollers. The M1A1 Abrams is able to negotiate gradient up to 60%, side slope to 40%, cross a water obstacle of 1.21 m deep maximum (1.98m with preparation), can climb vertical obstacles of 1.06 m and can cross a trench of 2.74 m maximum.

Not original songs
I got impressed by so many good songs compiled together, and ordered this one. But after listening these I found the sound tracks of these CDs are not original ones. Some other guys sang these songs. Sometime completely out of tune. Feeling bad after purchasing this.

Can You Learn Music On Your Own?
- June 2014
- Posted By JohnnyG
- 0 Comments
A common question amongst people is whether or not it is actually possible to become self –taught to play an instrument. The answer to that depends on who you are as a person. If you need someone standing over you and reminding you to practice and to advance your education, there is a good chance that you won't be able to do it. However, if you are driven and passionate about the learning process, you do have a chance to actually achieve a degree of success with self – taught methods.
A good idea to being this process is to go visit Florida Pianos or a similar business and find an instrument you would love to play. There should be some degree of interest in any instrument, as this will keep you motivated during the learning process.
To manage teaching yourself music, you need to determine what learning style you are. If you need to read instructions and do them on your own, it will be important to have an instructional book to use for guidance. A visual learner in turn may benefit from a video series that can teach them to play. For the audio learner, there are CD lessons that can help to provide you with audio guidance so that you can begin to learn music on your own.
While learning to play music and teaching yourself the basics, it can be a good idea to take plenty of notes and spend extra times in areas you are struggling. No one will understand music theory or how to play an instrument in 10 minutes. It will take time and you need to fully absorb the information and the technique to ensure that you are successful when teaching yourself to play music.
During the learning process, you will find that having a properly tuned instrument is critical. While you do need to learn how to tune it on your own, to begin the process take the time to visit Florida Pianos and similar companies who might be able to help you through this process. They can show you how to tune your instrument and ensure that it is properly tuned so if you are teaching yourself by ear you have a powerful resource on hand that allows you to achieve some incredible results.
You should also be easy on yourself as you make mistakes for the first few months. Fingers don't always do what you want them to and if you are right handed, using your left hand to play will be tricky at first and you will most likely experience some soreness. By allowing yourself time, you are going to find that being successful when playing music is very possible. If it helps, take 15 minutes several times a day to practice and step away from the instrument when you find yourself becoming frustrated. That way, it continues to be something you enjoy doing, rather than something you feel obligated to do.
Remember that music will take some time to learn and master. While it is something you can absolutely teach yourself to do, it will take time and commitment. Give yourself both and be open and receptive to others helping you along the way. If you do become stuck, speak visit Florida Pianos or another music shop and see if they can help guide you through some of the areas you may be struggling in. That will give you the chance to continue pushing forward and before long, you will have managed to have taught yourself to play music and to better understand the theory behind it.

"What a difference a year can make." That's our mantra for 2014! For those of you wondering if you're ever going to be able to adorn your feet with another pair of Bettye Mullers again: fear not! Bettye Muller shoes got a facelift and we resolve to keep you in the loop this 2014! Here's a little bit of a lot that has been going on:
Bettye Muller shoes couldn't possibly run itself so building a strong foundation for this new chapter was on the top of our list. The first to join the team was Genesa, Bettye's executive assistant. We knew she was meant to be when she, by coincidence, showed up on her first day rocking both camo print and a blue alligator watch strap to match Bettye's chic and laid-back attire.
Bettye is feeling more and more at home as her new showroom begins to come together. Not only is there a new showroom and a new opportunity to begin manufacturing in China, but also a new sub-line: Bettye by Bettye Muller! Another resolution is to make Bettye Muller shoes accessible to EVERYONE and this new opportunity allows us to do just that.
Don't be shy! Come say hi to us at all the major national shoe events coming up next month! Until then, if you really need to scratch your Bettye Muller itch (we don't blame you), check out a fun little side project Bettye Muller has been working on for Ann Marino which just debuted at the last FFANY show:
Here's to you, the ever-faithful who have kept Bettye Muller shoes going long and strong. In this new chapter, may we have the best year EVER and TOGETHER. We couldn't have done it without you. CHEERS!!!
Happy New Year!!!

Jack White's Third Man label joins forces with Sun Records for 7" reissues
Jack White's Third Man Records have joined forces with the Sun Records label for a series of releases.
Third Man will be reissuing a number of songs from Sun's iconic back catalogue on 7" black vinyl, including Johnny Cash's 1956 single 'Get Rhythm', which was originally backed with 'I Walk The Line'. The initial three 45rpm releases will include Rufus Thomas' 'Bear Cat' and The Prisonaires' 'Just Walking In The Rain' – both originally released in 1953 – alongside the Johnny Cash reissue. All three will be released on May 21. A limited 150 copies will be released on yellow and black splatter vinyl that Third Man have dubbed "sun-ray vinyl".
The Third Man blog says: "This will be an ongoing partnership between Sun and Third Man and future releases are already in the works."
They add: "Each release remains faithful to its original issue on Sun, replicating the classic logo and label design coupled with a striking Sun company sleeve that dutifully employs the rooster Sam Philips lamented losing as labels switched from 78's to 45's."
Third Man Records recently released versions of the soundtrack to The Great Gatsby on gold and platinum vinyl. The vinyl used on Third Man's deluxe edition of the soundtrack is described as "blindingly reflective metalized discs", and is the first-ever commercially available records produced in the style. Both the standard and deluxe editions of the vinyl release are packaged in a "laser-cut wooden LP jacket riveted to aluminum spines" complete with the "Art Deco-meets-modern" style of the Baz Luhrmann movie.
