Simple but Brilliant and full of truths!

Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash with his best
friend, Wylie Post
was probably the greatest political sage
this country ever has  known. 


1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.
2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.
3.. There are two theories to arguing with a woman . .
Neither works.
4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
5. Always drink upstream from the herd.
6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
7.  The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and
put it back into your pocket.
8. There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by
reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them
have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.
9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that
comes from bad judgment.
10. If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every
now and then to make sure it's still there.
11. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n 
puttin' it back.
12. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good
he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along
and shot him. The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your
mouth shut.


 

 ABOUT GROWING OLDER... 
First ~ Eventually you will reach a point when you stop
lying about your age and start bragging about it.
 
Second ~ The older we get, the fewer things seem worth
waiting in line for. 
Third ~ Some people try to turn back their odometers.
Not me; I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've
traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.
 
Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied and would like to go
back to youth, think of Algebra.
 
Fifth ~ You know you are getting old when everything either
dries up or leaks. 
Sixth ~ I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to
the top
 
Seventh ~ One of the many things no one tells you about
aging is that it is such a nice change from being young.
 
Eighth ~ One must wait until evening to see how splendid
the day has been.
 
Ninth ~ Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable. 
Tenth ~ Long ago, when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf. 
And, finally ~ If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you
won't have anything to laugh at when you are old.

Turn your iPad into a mini-keyboard with ION's Piano Apprentice


ION recently announced a new piano accessory for the iPad that will let you play and learn piano on a mini-keyboard. While piano-playing apps on the iPad are fun, they are not useful for instruction as the 9.7-inch display of the iPad is too small for a reasonably sized keyboard. ION solved that problem with its new Piano Apprentice, a dock for an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch that includes a 25-note lighted keyboard with touch-sensitive keys.

The keyboard dock includes an iOS app that teaches you how to play piano with the help of instructor Scott Houston. You can follow his hands on the screen while you play on the keyboard. The keys on the dock will even light up while you practice your tune. The Piano Apprentice will arrive this fall for US$100.

Cumberland, R.I. (July 19, 2011) - ION, a leader in consumer audio and entertainment technology, announces PIANO APPRENTICE, a portable lighted-key piano learning system for iPad, iPhone or iPod. ION will showcase PIANO APPRENTICE at Booth #400 at the 2011 Summer NAMM show from July 21st- 23rd in Nashville, TN.

PIANO APPRENTICE portable piano transforms iPad, iPhone or iPod into a personal piano instructor. The PIANO APPRENTICE App - a free download from the App Store - is piano learning software designed and built by ION to work seamlessly with PIANO APPRENTICE and creates a comprehensive music-learning experience. Piano players follow along as Emmy award-winning piano instructor, Scott Houston (aka "The Piano Guy"), appears on the screen demonstrating how to play while the PIANO APPRENTICE keys light up in time with the music. In addition, Scott's hands are right above the PIANO APPRENTICE keyboard, showing the user where to place their hands, teaching them how to play.

Other modes will teach aspiring pianists how to read sheet music or allow them to simply play the piano at any octave they choose. The portable keyboard itself is touch sensitive, responding to soft or hard playing accordingly for expressive music creation. PIANO APPRENTICE is lightweight, battery powered, and has built-in speakers for learning and playing anywhere. A headphone jack is included for quiet practice at anytime.

"PIANO APPRENTICE enables people everywhere to bring out their inner musician using their iPad, iPhone or iPod, even if they've never played an instrument before," said Wendy Mittelstadt, Product Manager, ION. "This is a incredibly easy-to-use and portable system for learning and music creation."
