Well, after many long years of searching for the album my sister and I grew up with ingrained in our memories and hearts, she tipped me off to your website... and at long last I will hear those songs again, and you won't be able to wipe the smile off my face for days! Thanks for the wonderful memories you have created with your endless talents for harmonizing and one of a kind sound. In my neighborhood, I am fortunate enough to have a few greeks around me, and we enjoy sharing the spanekopeta and galactoboureko that I make (the best!) - I can't wait to play Trio Bel Canto "In Greece" and watch their faces! Chuck, thanks for your lightning quick responses to my emails... the fastest response I have ever experienced on the web! Then again, did I expect any less? You're Greek! OPA! God Bless.

To the entire Trio Bel Canto family, what a flood of nostalgic memories! I can remember my father playing an 8-track copy of "Command Performance" in his 1974 Pontiac Grand Prix. I was 15, and I could tell you the next song before it started, and what key it was in! Now I play in a strong Greek folk band in Florida, Odyssey. We will add the song "Zilevo, Zilevo" because I love the vocal harmonies and the bouzoukee harmonies. Music has given me the passion to endure the pain of dental school, where I was forced to live away from my family and my fiance. You guys inspired me to continue playing the accordion when I lost interest in classical concertos. Greek dance music still lives. Avanta maestro! Great job on the web site. As for the records, you have given us kefi to get up and dance at holidays, countless namedays, picnics with Greek chicken and souvlakia. Wherever Greeks have gathered, your music brings smiles from grandparents to grandchildren. What a legacy.

What a wonderful surprise when I ran across your webpage by accident. The photographs brought back a flood of memories of my early teenage years and of the Sons of Pericles, GOYA and the Catskills. I took one of your albums with me when I left for military service during Viet Nam. For four years I had that piece of home with me, and never tired of listening. Thank you for your talent and your music, and I wish you all many years of continued success.

From a young boy, I remember listening, singing and dancing around the living room together with my family, to the music of the Trio Bel Canto. We didn't go anywhere without our "Trio" music. But my life was forever changed when as a teenager (of 17 yrs.), I was lucky enough to be in the audience,witness to a live performance of the band when they were brought out to Portland Oregon in 1973. It was an enchanted evening, even though Micheal Matheos's voice was no longer in the mix. The music was superb and Angelo's and John's voices were to me like angels singing. I was so moved, that I then and there decided that I had to be able to play and sing just like them. To perhaps someday, give to someone else what you have given to me. God has truly blessed you. Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing your gifts with all of us-all these years. Hronia Polla! Respectfully, Peter George Macris

I just want to say, that I think this web-page is the greatest form of information that you have given about your band over the years. As 42 year old first generation Greek here in the US, I have enjoyed your music over the years. I would still play them to this day over and over again.. Your music brings me back so much memories abuot my father and his friends, who use to enjoy listening to you. In fact, He would remember when your band played the Riveria in Sullivan county many years ago with Micos Gournaris, who I also admire listening to. I'm so happy that you created this web-site. I always wondered about your past. Could you please answer me a question? Could you please tell me, what ever happened to your FIRST Bouzouki player. To me, he was the epitomy of a bouzouki player. Is he still around?? PLease feel free to respond. Sincerely, Panayoutis Diakopoulos

I have thoroughly enjoyed this nostalgic trip through time. I grew up with my mother playing the Trio songs on her stereo daily. I was greatley influenced by the harmonies and the approach that made the Trio the "American Beatles.. They turned the classic Greek songs into melodic three part harmonies of love and warmth !!!!

I too, have the fondest memories of the "Trio" from a young age. Your music was, and remains inimitable, the very BEST! No group has ever come even close to your magnificent voices and PERFECT harmony. Whenever we heard that you were playing at a local dance, we'd go running! At home, I'd play your albums over and over and over again so that I could learn every word to each song! Your music was always the hit of every family gathering, providing the very best dance medleys. Before the days of d.j's, I'd take your albums to parties, Baptisms, and GOYA Dances. It was a sure-fire way to get everyone up dancing; noone could stay seated during a "Trio" song. Thanks for the memories. And thanks to Paul Kombitsis for developing this exceptional Website.

Read what our clients are saying about custom interior design by Donna Hoffman
We take great pride in fulfilling our clients' dreams of livable luxury. Our goal is to create elegant spaces that are approachable, indulgent, invigorating, and sustaining. Here's what some of our custom interior design clients have to say:
From point of contact through finished product, working with Interiors by Donna Hoffman has been a first-rate experience!
Meeting with Donna, a top-of-her-field professional in every sense of the word, we immediately felt our ideas had been acknowledged. As the project progressed, it was comforting and exciting to watch Donna and her talented staff never lose sight of the vision we hoped to create within the budget provided. Always responsive by phone and email, the team was quick to answer any questions we had with kindness and expertise. Furniture, fabrics, layout, accessories—Donna knows what works and how to incorporate it into your dream room.
Our beautiful new family room is the showpiece of our house—gorgeous furniture, art, and accessories in the most comfortable arrangement!
We are so pleased with Interiors by Donna Hoffman that we are in the midst of working with Donna and her crew on a new room!
Mrs. Stephanie S., Lawrenceville, NJ
The design service provided was excellent. This company treats their clients like gold. Respected the budget and quickly learned who we are and what our eye was drawn to! Fabulously fun to work with them.
Mrs. Tammy S., Yardley, PA
Lionheart Industrial Group LLC found itself in the midst of several simultaneous transitions. Donna and her team mobilized to drive fresh, innovative design concepts while keeping with our conservative, traditional values as a company. I have long wanted an office that would combine elements from my family history of entrepreneurship in manufacturing, gifts from my world travel, a "cockpit" office and collaboration areas for more causal meetings. IDH literally transformed the space, taking into consideration each executives working style, smartly designed traffic patterns, and utility of collaboration areas which culminated in a world class board room that has garnered glowing compliments from our earliest visitors. I literally love our new offices and look forward to decades of enjoyment.
David S. Bovenizer, Chief Executive Officer | Lionheart Industrial Group LLC | View Project
I cannot begin to thank you for the help you've given me!! Our new home looks amazing and we owe a lot of that to you. Your confidence, professionalism and vision made the process fun and exciting. You have such a gift for design.
Mrs. Buffie M., New Hope, PA
Working with Interiors by Donna Hoffman has been a dream. From the outset, Donna sought to understand the individual styles of each my wife and I and where we shared a sense of style. On each project (we have completed several room by room), these core preferences were magically weaved together into a home environment which we literally love. Often we do not want to leave the house!! The team at IDH is best in class responsiveness and has provided the highest level of service we could want while being quite cognizant to our budget goals. If we buy another house, we are bringing IDH along to help us choose which one!!
Mr. David B., Upper Makefield, PA
Incorporating Donna's suggestions, I transformed the room without spending a fortune! Donna listened to what I was trying to accomplish in the room and helped me achieve it quickly and easily.
Dr. Sherri Z., Chalfont, PA
A+. Donna really understood my need/goals. Completely overwhelmed with the end results – just love my new family room. Far surpassed my expectations.
Mrs. Jill G., Yardley, PA
Thank you for the terrific design experience last Tuesday. I actually found the afternoon quite interesting and very productive. To your credit, in a very short period of time, Debbie and I feel you understood our needs and were able to verbalize themes that resonate with Debbie – and as a result established an impressive level of trust and respect.
Mr. Terry T., Yardley, PA
I so appreciated this experience. I have used three designers in the past and nothing was as positive as this one. IDH are real pros, but also approachable, people-oriented and budget conscious. A+. This is the house we imagined but could not have put together ourselves. I don't think I would change anything. It took a while to understand the process, but Donna is well-organized and she and her staff kept us informed. [Regarding the window treatments], these are masterful.
In gratitude, Mrs. Gail B., Newtown, PA
It was fun to have people over and have them comment on how beautiful the house is – of course, we all knew that already. Great working with you and your team, Donna. You made it easy.
Mr. Paul B., Newtown, PA
Both on Monday and Tuesday I could not wait to come home and see the installation of the drapes in the master bedroom and my office. When we walked into our bedroom, it was like walking into a dream world. The room looked fantastic. The fabrics are gorgeous and the workmanship is flawless. I love the custom blinds. With your designing mastermind and [your workshop's] amazing workmanship….a dangerous combo. No one would be able to resist.
Even though the office is not complete, it looks wonderful already. I can't wait to see it finished. I sat in my chaise there and enjoyed being in that room for the first time yesterday night. It is amazing how drapery and color can change a room so much. It gives it so much personality!
From our family room, sun room, master bathroom, master bedroom and now office, each drapery is a different style and they are all gorgeous. We are truly thrilled with everything that has been done so far.
Thank you so much for everything. We can't wait to get the house completed with you.
Mrs. Van B., Upper Makefield, PA

It exceeded our expectations in every way. Donna is the fifth decorator I've worked with since I've owned a home and she was superior to all. Did not waste time, did not waste money. I keep her cards in my wallet. My house is a showplace–warm, inviting and beautiful, all thanks to Interiors by Donna Hoffman!
Mrs. Kimberly H., Princeton Junction, NJ
Extraordinary results! …a true Cinderella story! The house looks fantastic…awesome job Donna – could not have done it without your professional expertise.
Mrs. Roe D., Berwyn, PA
Donna Hoffman is a true professional in her approach to design. She offers guidance not only on the most appropriate design for your home, but what is best suited to your personal style. She incorporates a process in the journey which begins with a self-assessment of your design style about which many of us are clueless! Based on your preference Donna will collaborate with you and develop your plan. She is most efficient in the implementation and delivers according to schedule. She is attentive to budgetary concerns and is very much into client satisfaction. The end result is a confident, satisfied client who learns a lot about personal style and has a gorgeous home!!!
Ms. Suzanne Z., Newtown, PA
Donna is a rare find in the design world. She has a sharp eye for creative and functional design while drilling down to find the option that most improves your daily quality of life, while also respecting your budget and values. She is an excellent project manager and keeps strict to her timeline. Highly recommend!
Mrs. Loretta H., Yardley, PA
We just wrapped up an amazing project with Donna Hoffman and her team at IDH. Their challenge was to bring harmony to our 1st floor open concept living space (family room, kitchen, dining and office). Donna has an incredible eye for design and very quickly understood our different styles, melding them together to create a warm, inviting space that really reflects who we are. The IDH team has a great design process, working together keeping the project organized and moving forward. This is a professional, friendly and high energy team. We would recommend them for any design project.
Ms. Janet H., Langhorne, PA
Kudos to Donna Hoffman and her amazing team. I had the pleasure of working with Donna on our mother's house. Donna is extremely knowledgeable at what she's doing. She's friendly, creative, skilled, and talented. I could go on and on…… Donna's there from design to installation. Her team transformed our mother's living room, dining room, kitchen and basement to these incredible spaces. Donna kept me informed with weekly reports via email.
Ms. Tracey C., Croydon, PA
It was a pleasure and dream working with Donna Hoffman and her team of designers!! My husband and I truly appreciated her "wise" approach to design and the design process. Donna transformed our dining room into a warm, inviting, and truly beautiful space. Amazing work and an extremely fun team to work with!
Mrs. Krista M., Furlong, PA
…after you guys left, I stood in the living room just taking it all in. Then I sat down and burst into tears… of happiness of course!!!!! I was overwhelmed. The room looks so, so beautiful….and SO much bigger….and SO much more polished. I just LOVE it. It is truly the very first time I started to feel more at home in this crazy old home.
Donna, you nailed it. I feel like it is a true representation of my style. I don't know how you do what you do but I know one thing: I can't do it myself. And I can't thank you enough. Nor can I thank Sandy enough for putting up with my many questions and emails or being so organized and together. And funny….really, really funny. And Katie for your follow-up, and helping hand all over our project.
From the bottom of our hearts….we thank you and we so appreciate having the opportunity to work with you.
Amy D., Yardley, PA
My wife and I have used Donna and her team over the past three years for a number of rooms in our house. They have always been great to work with, very client oriented and they provide exceptional guidance throughout the process. In addition to their wonderful input and guidance during the process, their follow up afterwards is really exceptional.
We are glad to have had the opportunity to work with Donna and her team.
Mr. Tony M., New Hope, PA
IDH worked their magic on our living room and bedroom – and we are so happy with the outcome! Our living room looks so much more open and bright – and much more spacious! Knowing I like color, Donna was excellent at selecting fabrics that were fun but still casually elegant – she got our style exactly!
Another thing I really appreciated is that IDH was very open to using some of our existing pieces while also recommending new pieces that are much better proportioned for the space. It's a perfect blend of old and new! They did window coverings in three rooms which turned out gorgeous and a space plan for a library which we'll complete in the future. IDH also kept a very keen eye on the budget, guiding our choices to make sure we remained in line, and being careful to let us know if we were starting to stray!
Overall, I highly recommend IDH. Whether you are like us – moving into a new space with a lot of existing pieces OR you are starting from scratch, IDH will do a great job!
Mrs. Amy D., Yardley, PA

I love the Law of Unintended Consequences that always comes into play whenever liberals attempt to do anything good for anybody. See, when they're not outright trying to screw people over, liberals do sometimes actually try to help–and end up screwing people over in the process anyway.
Remember the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico? You know, the one that heralded the end of drinking water, animal life, and Earth as we know it? The reason it took so long to stop the leak is because enviro-fascists insisted that the oil rig be so far offshore that if it did spill, it wouldn't make the beaches ugly (and also because the rig itself was an "eye sore"). Well, when it did spill, it was in too deep of water to quickly stop the leak. Way to go, greenies!
A similar incident has occurred thanks to this Law of Unintended Consequences. A mile-long train transporting crude oil from Canada to the US has derailed and spilled 30,000 gallons of the black gold as it was traveling through Minnesota. A few insects will die from this, maybe a gopher or two, but I must laugh nonetheless.
What's so funny about it? The reason the oil is being transported by train is because Obama and his liberal puppet masters refuse to allow the finishing of the building of the Keystone XL pipeline. They fear that oil will spill if they build the pipeline–you know, like what happened that one time when they didn't build the pipeline and a train crashed and spilled 30,000 gallons of the stuff in Minnesota. Yeah, they don't want that sort of thing to happen, so they're transporting oil in trains that crash and spill 30,000 gallons of oil.
The other thing that's funny is that trains release carbon dioxide, which the self-describedly science-oriented liberals consider a poison, despite its being the foundation of all life on Earth. Trains release more black smoke than stationary pipes do, anyway.
And the third reason this oil spill is funny is because the reasons we're using trains–19th century technology–to transport oil is because Obama crony Warren Buffett owns the the rail system that will be doing the transporting. Yes, it was Warren Buffett's train that crashed in Minnesota and gushed 30,000 gallons of Texas tea.
So in attempting to save the environment from oil spills, liberals elected to transfer oil with dirty technology owned by one of Obama's biggest donors, technology which ended up spilling the oil they said they were doing all of this to prevent from spilling!
If only this Law of Unintended Consequences took effect when liberals try doing harm, good things might actually happen in this country.

I am not even married, let alone having a teenage child, but I was talking to Fiance about dating and a question came into my mind:
"At what age would you let your children start dating?"
Extra questions for you to answer in the comments:
Would it be different for a daughter than for a son?
When did you start dating?
Do you wish you would've started sooner/later?

Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) is continuing on his charge to end government subsidies for large oil companies. Now the New Jersey Democrat says his party will "insist" that ending oil industry tax breaks be part of any deal to raise the nation's debt ceiling.
Speaking on "The Rachael Maddow Show" on MSNBC, Menendez said, "I'm convinced we're going to do this, because whether this is done through my legislation or whether this is done as part of any debt-ceiling vote — which we'll insist on — or whether it's done as part of any budget vote, we are going to eliminate these subsidies."
Menendez's quest to end the subsidies has gained steam over the last few days in a battle of words against the CEOs of the so-called "Big Five" oil companies. The battle has gotten increasingly personal.
On Wednesday, ConocoPhillips CEO James Mulva said that any attempts to remove the oil subsidies to the industry would be "un-American." On Thursday, when the CEOs were called before the Senate Finance Committee for what turned into a contentious morning, Menendez and New York Sen. Charles Schumer demanded an apology from Mulva. "The bottom line is you're unwilling to apologize for your company's statement, so I will continue to take offense to it," said Menendez.
Menendez is the sponsor of a bill that calls for the elimination of the subsidies. He is planning to introduce the bill sometime in the next two weeks. The bill will not get the 60 votes needed to escape a filibuster, so Menendez will have to make multiple attempts to get any traction for the bill. His comments on Maddow's show reveal that he is in this fight for the long hall — a strategy that may pay off.
By vowing to insert the subsidy repeal into the debt ceiling debate, Menendez may be able to put subsidy defenders in a difficult place. For one thing, the debt ceiling debate is expected to take place late in the summer, when high gas prices may be taking a significant toll on the American economy. Secondly, subsidies to the oil companies are already unpopular, according to recent polls, and it's unlikely they will gain popularity if gas prices are closer to $5 than $4. And for members of the GOP who are arguing that we need to greatly reduce our expenditures as part of the debt ceiling debate, defending $4.4 billion in handouts to five companies that made more than $31 billion during the first quarter of 2011 will be a tough sell.

Here's the Full Transcript of Meryl Streep's Powerful Golden Globes Speech
Meryl Streep brought the house down at Sunday night's Golden Globes as she accepted the Cecil B. DeMille award for lifetime achievement. Though many other presenters and winners, plus host Jimmy Fallon, brought up the political division that has been simmering in America lately, nobody did it like Streep.
After an emotional introduction from Viola Davis, Streep spoke about the role actors, and the press, have to play in a Trump administration. She also took time to reference her fellow actors and how they bring different perspective and backgrounds to their art. And at the end, she gave a tribute to her late friend, Carrie Fisher, who always had the right thing to say when times got tough.
Watch Streep's speech below:
At tonight's #GoldenGlobes we honor Hollywood legend Meryl Streep with the prestigious Cecil B. Demille Award. pic.twitter.com/dxpeCDNXY6— Golden Globe Awards (@goldenglobes) January 9, 2017
And read the full transcript here:
"Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you. Please sit down. Please sit down. Thank you. I love you all. You'll have to forgive me. I've lost my voice in screaming and lamentation this weekend. And I have lost my mind sometime earlier this year. So I have to read.
Thank you, Hollywood foreign press. Just to pick up on what Hugh Laurie said. You and all of us in this room, really, belong to the most vilified segments in American society right now. Think about it. Hollywood, foreigners, and the press. But who are we? And, you know, what is Hollywood anyway? It's just a bunch of people from other places.
I was born and raised and created in the public schools of New Jersey. Viola [Davis] was born in a sharecropper's cabin in South
Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners. If you kick 'em all out, you'll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts. They gave me three seconds to say this. An actor's only job is to enter the lives of people who are different from us and let you feel what that feels like. And there were many, many, many powerful performances this year that did exactly that, breathtaking, passionate work.
There was one performance this year that stunned me. It sank its hooks
And this instinct to humiliate, when it's modeled by someone in the public platform, by someone powerful, it filters down into everybody's life, because it kind of gives permission for other people to do the same thing. Disrespect invites disrespect. Violence incites violence. When the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose.
This brings me to the press. We need the principled press to hold power to account, to call them on the carpet for every outrage.That's why our founders enshrined the press and its freedoms in our constitution. So I only ask the famously well-heeled Hollywood Foreign Press and all of us in our community to join me in supporting the committee to protect journalists. Because we're going to need them going forward. And they'll need us to safeguard the truth.
One more thing. Once when I was standing around on the set one day whining about something, we were going to work through supper, or the long hours or whatever, Tommy Lee Jones said to me, isn't it such a privilege, Meryl, just to be an actor. Yeah, it is. And we have to remind each other of the privilege and the responsibility of the act of empathy. We should all be very proud of the work Hollywood honors here tonight.
As my friend, the dear departed Princess Leia, said to me once, take your broken heart, make it into art. Thank you."

When you visit your specialist that manages your child's asthma, you probably have many questions and concerns to address. Some parents may get frustrated by providers that direct questions at the child, rather than the parent. New research published in the July issue of the medical journal Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology show why it is so important to let your child speak up at their doctor visits.
"Our research shows that physicians should ask parents and children about the effects asthma is having on the child's daily life," said study lead author Margaret Burks, of the pediatrics department of the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.
"Parents can often think symptoms are better or worse than what the child is really experiencing, especially if they are not with their children all day," Burks said.
Researchers looked at 80 children with asthma. They found that the children overwhelmingly reported having a better quality of life and fewer complications from their asthma symptoms than what their parents described. Children expressed far fewer activity limitations than their parent's expressed, as well.

We wanted to give you a list you could really work with to get in all of the things that one would want to see while visiting Manhattan. So we started from the North-end of Central Park and worked our way all the way down to the tip of Manhattan, Battery Park and even went off shore for tidbits on the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. If you are doing a lot of traveling by foot, it's safe to say you could see pretty much all of this in 7 days depending on how much time you want to give the museums. Some things are a quick walk by and others could take an entire day. So plan carefully and tackle each area at a time so you don't back track and can get the most of the beautiful New York City.
Central Park
The gem of Manhattan, established in 1857 on 778 acres and expanded in 1873 to 843 acres, is the most visited urban park in America and one of the most filmed locations in the world. It's home to 7 artificial bodies of water, 29 sculptures and 36 bridges which are all a sight to see but here are our top 5 things to see in Central Park in no particular order. Website: www.CentralParkNYC.org
- Strawberry Fields – A piece of Central Park dedicated in remembrance of former Beatle, John Lennon and named after his song "Strawberry Fields Forever". The memorial is located at the entrance to Central Park on Central Park West and West 72nd Street. It is directly across the street from where Lennon lived and where he was murdered in 1980. It's supposed to be a quiet zone in the park, however, there is usually a talented individual or two playing guitar and peacefully singing "Imagine". Address: West Side between 71st and 74th Streets.
- Loeb Boat House – Beginning its life in 1860 as nothing more than a 12x20ft lakeside boat storage house, by the 1950's it needed restoration. A couple known as the Loeb's donated $305,000 and it has been operating as a full bar/restaurant and boat rental since then. It has quite the view of the lake that is enjoyed by many boaters still today. Website: http://www.thecentralparkboathouse.com/ Address: East 72nd Street and Park Drive North, New York, NY Phone: 212-517-2233

Its beauty is quite breathtaking with the city scape surrounding it from just about every angle. Address: North-End 85th Street to 96th Street, from East to West.
- Belvedere Castle – This marvel was built in the late 1800's and since 1919 has housed the official Central Park weather station. It contains exhibit rooms and an observation deck. Overlooking the Croton Reservoir the view is beautiful, that's probably why the name Belvedere means "beautiful view" in Italian. Address: Mid-Park at 79th Street Phone: 212-772-0288
- Bethesda Fountain & Terrace – The Bethesda Fountain is the main feature on the lower level of the terrace, adorned with an angel known as the "Angel of the Waters" and four cherubs representing, temperance, health, purity and peace. It was constructed in 1859-1864 and faces the lower passage of the terrace which has intricate stairways carved from sandstone, herringbone and Roman brick. Make sure to look up at the Minton tiles that line the ceiling of the lower passage. Address: Mid-Park on the North side of 72nd Street.
- Apollo Theater – Everyone remembers "Showtime at the Apollo" with its 1093 episode run from 1987 to 2008 showcasing countless talent acts and making a name for the Apollo Theater. The theater built in 1913 long before the television show first commenced, seats 1506 people and was originally called Hurtig and Seamon's New Burlesque Theater and was designed with a neo-classical style. It later became the Apollo in 1934 and has since been designated a New York City Landmark. It's estimated that 1.3 million people visit the Apollo annually and the likes of Michael Jackson, Ella Fitzgerald and Aretha Franklin amongst many other famous performers have graced the stage with their presence.

Have you ever noticed in movies that the main characters usually struggle finding what they want, and then once they know what they want- they get it? All they have to do are the motions and then over time, they have the job and life they always imagined. For example, I just saw "The Vow", and Rachel McAdams decides to be an artist and then flash five years forward, and she has her own exhibit. Well I was starting to think that that was just Hollywood, but then I started looking over the past year of not only what I've accomplished, but what those around me have accomplished. One of my friends got promoted into her perfect position, and finally started climbing the managment ladder at her company. One of my friends started saving money to buy her first house. My sorority sister married her sweetheart and moved up the corporate ladder as well. Two of my best friends got engaged and another one of my friends even starred on The Voice. And then there's me. On the surface, I was focusing on all the negative: I quit my job and came back for a demotion and smaller pay. I maxed out all three of my major credit cards, and I've yet to find a job that requires the college degree that I worked so hard for. On the flipside: I went from playing acoustic shows at the Hookah Bar in Tallahassee to playing the mainstage at the Viper Room in Hollywood. I went from the top 200 pop artists of LA in Reverb Nation to the top 50. I released a song on iTunes, I filmed a music video, I MADE money at my last show as oppossed to paying for it. And most excitingly, my first song was accepted for television placement in a documentary. So YES I quit my job, and YES I went broke, and YES I feel like I'm wasting that degree that my parents spent so much money on BUT all I really did was decide what I want, go through the motions, and make progress. To everyone of my friends that did the same over the past couple of years- Cheers. Your path may not be the path that anyone paved, your path may be rocky and unconventional, but any artist will tell you that you have to make a whole lot of mess before you see the masterpiece.

Is the iPad a PR success?Posted: April 5, 2010 Filed under: Apple, ipad | Tags: Apple, Apple iPad, ipad Leave a comment
Apple's launch of the iPad has gone very well from a PR perspective. They got a mammoth amount of press and social media coverage over the weekend, with virtually all the major news outlets covering the excitement around the product. The excitement has caused a minor crisis in that some analysts got so caught up in the moment that they raised already lofty sales expectations for the opening weekend to silly levels, levels it turns out Apple can't meet. That aside there have been no negative stories out there. Early reviews are good, the machine seems to actually work and therefore there are no stories of users with problems. All, it seems, is well in iPadland.
Looking behind the launch a little further you can see that Apple did some sensible pre-launch PR including the product placement on Modern Family last week. They also had some nice touches such as Steve Wozniak and Jobs attending different Apple stores to lend their tech celebrity status to the proceedings. Lastly the app and content vendors have started to promote the product with announcements of new applications, books etc. As a measure of the noise level, do a YouTube search on the Apple iPad and you get over 14,000 videos. Do a Google search on the Apple iPad and you get over 136 million mentions.
We are only days in to the life of the iPad but I think it's fair to say the PR has been a success and market has been created. Indeed, while there was nothing really innovative about the iPad PR, you can argue that what they lost on creativity they more than made up for on execution. Anyone that doesn't know this product exists, probably never will. Now it's up to the iPad to actually sell to the masses and not just the Apple faithful. That said, the Apple faithful is an awfully big market these days.

|New Zealand Kaolin
|Ferro Frit 3110
|VeeGum T
|Mason 6336 Blue Stain
Alert: This recipe contains units of measure, it cannot be imported into Desktop Insight as is.
You must recalcuate it to percentages and then to the total you need (if it has not be done here).
This body is not available for sale. Yet. I am beta-testing it. I have done a long series of test mixes in search of a blend of North American materials that will produce a fritted white low-fire oxidation porcelain. But I was not able to do so. The difficulty is that the glassy phase of the frit amplifies the color of any iron available in the body (even tiny amounts) to produce a bone or ivory white.
The only solution was a switch to New Zealand Kaolin (which contains only 0.15% iron) and VeeGum. The result is dramatically better. However a pinkish color still remained. This made it necessary to add a small amount of blue stain. Now it has the color of cone 10 reduction porcelain! Be careful about substituting that stain. We have found this one flows freely. If the stain you substitute agglomerates during mixing you will get ugly blue specks in your porcelain!
This body pairs with G2931K clear glaze (the fully fritted version of G2931F) and a drop-and-soak firing glaze schedule. Look for a links to that here or google it.
The secrets of this body are thus:
-The 30% frit: Frit is expensive (no normal porcelains contain it because of this). But it makes the impossible possible!
-The NZ Kaolin: The whitest available in the world.
-The VeeGum: Super plastic super-white. Bentone also works.
-The silica for glaze fit and as a structural framework.
As noted, this body will be among the most plastic you have even used (of any kind). But this is only true if it is stiff enough. If you try to use it soft the shrinkage will be much higher and you risk drying cracks.
One caveat: This is not an attempt to rival the fired surface of cone 6 Plainsman Polar Ice, it is not as smooth and dense (but it is almost zero porosity). You could, of course, fire higher to produce higher density. But remember, this is frit-ware, warping issues will creep in quickly as temperature is increased. Firing higher than cone 03 will not necessarily produce more strength either. It will produce more fired shrinkage (which is already quite high).
If we were to manufacture this is could cost $100 a box. But before dismissing this think about the advantages of using it for making smaller pieces:
-Fast firing: two or three times a day (as little as 3 hours start to kiln opening).
-The appearance of cone 10R but with far brighter colors.
-High strength (rivaling any other temperature).
-Throw ware ultra thin and light.
-A perfectly fitted ultra-clear glaze that is far cheaper to make than commercial glazes (and works better).
-Dramatic reduction in wear-and-tear on kiln elements and energy usage.
-Remember to factor in the fact that you will be able to charge more for pieces when you calculate clay-cost-per-piece.
A final note: Because this body matures at such a low temperature it needs to be bisqued much lower. You will need to experiment. Consider starting at around 1500F. If ware is not absorbent enough fire lower.
Units-of-measure: I have specified 50 lb bags to fill the needed amount for the NZ kaolin, however it comes in 20kg bags. But you are likely mixing in grams or ounces so just refer to the percentage column.
One more thing. Consider getting an account at insight-live.com, copy and paste the recipes and document all your testing well. And you will get monthly email updates on this another projects.
Look at how translucent this is! I can fire one of these in three hours, cold-to-cold. I am casting them with molds made using the 3D-printing process. Anyone could do this. Incredibly exciting. And with the G3879 glaze it looks awesome, just like bone china. Notwithstanding this, the Zero3 recipe has to be altered for casting. Initially I have reduced the VeeGum to 1% but it is still casting too slow. And it is not shrinking enough to pull away from the mold well. I am considering strategies on how to increase drying shrinkage and am going to add more frit to take it down to cone 04.
This is an all-fritted version of G2931F Zero3 transparent glaze. I formulated this glaze by calculating what mix of frits must be employed to supply the same chemistry of the G2931F recipe. The mug is made from the Zero3 porcelain body (fired at cone 03) with this glaze. This glaze fits both the porcelain and the Zero3 terra cotta stoneware. The clarity, gloss, fit and durability of this glaze are outstanding.
Want to make this incredible porcelain and glaze yourself? Read on. The mug on the left is a cone 10R (2350F/1290C) porcelain (#6 Tile kaolin and Nepheline Syenite) with G1947U clear glaze. The other is a fritted cone 03 (1950F or 1065C) porcelain (NZ Kaolin, Ferro Frit 3110) with G2931K clear glaze. We call the body/glaze/firing system "Zero3" (google it or use the links here). The Zero3 porcelain is blue-white instead of grey, the glaze is crystal clear, underglaze colors are so much more vibrant. The Zero3 mug was fired in 3 hours (cold-to-cold). It also withstands thermal shock better, it is as strong or stronger and much more translucent. How is this possible? The magic of the frit, it melts so much better than nepheline. The recipes and method are linked here. It is the most expensive body you will ever make. But from it you will create the highest quality ware you have ever made using the most plastic body you have ever thrown! Follow the instructions carefully.
One way to fast-fire is to fire a lot lower. This is Zero3 porcelain made using Dragonite Halloysite (instead of New Zealand Halloysite). It is the L2934C recipe. It was fired to cone 03 and glazed with G2931K clear glaze (which has fired crystal clear and flawless). I fired at 1200F/hr to 1950F, held it for 15 minutes, cooled at 999F/hr to 1850F and held it for 30 minutes, then dropped as fast as the kiln would do. It has some translucency and fires with a purplish hue (the NZ burns blue-white and is more translucent).
These fritted porcelain bars are fired at cone 06, 04, 03 and 02 oxidation (bottom to top). The body contains 0.2% blue stain. Notice that almost no color develops at the lowest temperature. Glass development is needed.
I propeller-mixed a 5 gallon pail of the slurry yesterday. Overnight it forms a gel in the pail. That means that whenever I need some I can simply scoop it out and lay it on the batt in a thick layer. This is about 6 kg, it will take about two days to dewater enough (undisturbed) for use.
