Have you as an adult always wanted to learn to play the piano? Did you think you couldn’t afford it or that you’d never have the time to practice? Or did you just think that maybe you didn’t have the talent for it? Or maybe you didn’t have a piano or keyboard?

Enter the Piano Party. Anyone can host a Tupperware or Mary Kay party. And the piano party is designed with that philosophy in mind.

Host a piano party in your home today! Gather at least 8 ladies or 4 couples interested in learning to play the piano. Miss Liberty Martin will do her best to persuade them to take Group Piano Lessons. If 7 people will do it, the hostess gets half price. If 8 ladies, she gets hers free! If 6 people or less, the one time fee will go up slightly.

There is a significant discount compared to individual lessons. The initial commitment is for 3 months, after which individuals have several choices: to continue group lessons, to commence individual lessons, or progress on their own.

Group lessons provide support and encourage practice as individuals are expected to perform for each other weekly. Groups will meet once a week for an hour. They may choose to meet in the same home every week, or in different homes. The group sessions can be combined with a time of food and fellowship afterwards, a workout or walk, or whatever they may choose.

There is a deposit required for new keyboard use; 80% of which will be returned unless the student chooses to keep it or there is damage. Learning to play the piano requires a minimum of one hour practice a week. That is three days of 20 minutes, or 6 days of 10 minutes each.

Miss Liberty has a unique sense of humour and guarantees a time of fun and learning. She can teach anyone the basics of beginning piano. She has a piano teaching studio located in Shrewsbury, Pennsylvania, and also teaches in Manchester, Maryland. For the group lessons, she is able to travel a wide range in the York/Adams County, Northern Baltimore County and North Carroll County areas.

To schedule your Piano Party or for more information; please email Liberty Martin at Lbelle5 at juno.com, or call her at 717.515.1037. Her web address is www.libertyspiano.com. Her studio is Liberty’s Piano Studio.

Though the housing market is not too good at present, there are always rich people who have money and want to build new homes. And there are still more than a few architects in business designing homes. There’s so much variety in what people might want in a house, depending on how much money they have to spend, how much they want to spend, what their tastes are, what designs they like. The list goes on and on.

An architect can advertise with pictures and designs of houses he has designed and had constructed in the past. But there’s only so much room to display images in advertisements. The best has to be there to pull people in, and then they can go to the architect and browse through designs once they are more serious about looking.

Perhaps he could place images and plans for houses on a promotional flash drive that he can distribute to potential clients. Then people can browse through and see if they find any designs that fit something close to what they want to build.

The choices abound. Do they want one-story, two-story, three-story? Do they want a garage on the same level as the rest of the house or below it? Do they want a garage at all? Do they want spacious picture windows a small windows? Do they want a flat roof, a gentle slope, or a steep slope? An architect must provide many conceptions so the widest range of people can find something that they would like to see in a house.

CFGear.com can help an architect get all of his images organized in a sensible layout on a flash drive. Then potential customers can easily navigate to categories that fit what they want to look at in a house. They can see materials and pricing for those materials, pictures of previously built homes, floor plans and conceptual drawings, whatever helps them make a decision about a new home.

An architect could also duplicate USB flash drives and distribute them to his employees who are working on designs. They could have one source to view previously used designs and plans. A contractor could also use the drive to see images of plans for a house before he builds it. He can have copies of them to store for future reference to print extras that he may need.

Perhaps the architect could buy two sets of flash drives, one as a resource for employees and contractors, and one for customers to use in reviewing potential home designs. CF Gear offers a wide selection of flash drive models that customers can choose from. They also offer color imprinting and laser engraving. Perhaps a wood-covered flash drive, engraved with the name and logo of the company, would be a smart and fitting look for an architect to pick.

An architect can give his company a competitive edge by using flash drives to store info and market housing plans to potential clients. And CF Gear can help, from designing the layout to copying the data to many flash drives to imprinting them.

Each new parent has video clips and thousands of pictures of their new pride and joy, especially if it’s the first child who has graced your presence. There must be some kind of bug that infects the parents the moment the little baby comes into this world. When our first child arrived, we video taped her daily to make sure we captured the ever quickly changing child. There was never a special moment missed. In fact, every day of her first year is captured on tape if only briefly. Then the second child arrived just 15 months after the first child was born.

We did try to keep up with the taping but when you throw in the challenge of packing up of a household and moving to another country within the next five months, the video taping can be almost impossible. I still have the video camera although I haven’t used it in the last seven or eight years. I also have all the video tapes. I’m thinking that perhaps one day I’ll dig out the camera and the tapes and see if I can get them transferred to a DVD. Then perhaps, I will keep that DVD hidden away until some daring boy comes along and thinks he can sweep my baby off to who knows where. His first assignment to prove whether he is worthy of her will be to watch that entire DVD. I’m sure that if the pictures of the entire body covered in food don’t turn him off, and the shot of the power puke reaching from one end of the room to the other doesn’t work, he may be just the right guy for her.

All those pictures and videos are little treasures that if not viewed, are really not treasures at all. However, The Home Automation Store has produced an X10 Showtime Wireless Digital Photo/Video Viewer Kit which allows you to view your videos and photos on television from your computer. With the help of the Powermid remote control extender, you can watch/view those pictures without ever leaving your lazy boy. Oh yes, these would be classic items to have. When hot-boy comes over to pick up darling daughter, flip the switch and let him view her during her finest hours. I guarantee you; you’ll be the only one who sees her as a darling. When that awesome picture of a line of drool hanging down out of her mouth comes on, let’s see how thirsty lover boy can be.

Ah, yes. Parenting is inflicting revenge upon your child for what your parents did to you. Seems a bit odd that it works that way but it’s been going on for centuries and doesn’t look like it’s going to stop anytime soon. Let this be fair warning to my two daughters.
