Sheet Music Cabinets - The Making Of A Masterpiece

I was invited to tour the plant of GRK Mfg in Hamilton Ohio a few weeks ago and was thoroughly impressed with what I witnessed while walking through the more than 100 year old building. I was able to witness a sheet music cabinet being hand crafted from beginning to end by the craftsman at GRK. While it takes many days and man hours to complete one unit, walking the floor and seeing the entire process while viewing the multiple stages was truly fascinating.Craftsmanship meeting modern technology is seen early in the process as the wood pieces are inspected for any flaws by the hands and eyes of an expert craftsman. The pieces of wood that do proceed are then placed into modern cutting, drilling, sanding and finishing equipment until a kit of pieces is provided to a cabinet craftsman. The craftsman takes the individual pieces and begins to assemble them into drawers and cabinets, matching them to exact specifications and tolerances within a few thousandths of an inch. When the unfinished cabinet has had been assembled along with the drawers, it is tested and then the drawers are removed from the unit to be finished.GRK has an ultra modern finishing facility that has the capability of being completely dust and particle free. This is an expensive undertaking for the company but is the only way that fine sheet music cabinets could be completed and accepted by the discriminating customers it enjoys having relationships with. The individual pieces are finished as many as six times each before reaching just the right finish to be called a GRK brand cabinet. The individual pieces are given time to dry and then reassembled to ensure that the fit is to the same tolerance as was provided earlier in the process. This refitting is done by hand to ensure a high level of quality. Once the unit has passed the inspection of the final master craftsman the unit is ready to be shipped to the lucky customer.After witnessing this process first hand I believe I am right in using the word lucky to describe the customer. They have purchased a beautiful sheet music cabinet to exactly match their piano that will be in their family for generations to come.

Citizen Watches - Citizen Men's Titanium Skyhawk A-T JY0010-50E Watch Review

If you've seen it before, then you would know. Maybe on television in a commercial, or on a billboard when you were on the road. The JY0010-50E from Citizen watches is perhaps the finest watch ever made by Citizen. With looks of regality and countless features that would require time to go over in the manual, the A-T titanium Citizen skyhawk model is very possibly the just right watch to satisfy your needs of style, looks and functionality. Being made of titanium you get a sleeker finish but also a stronger and yet at the same time lighter watch. The earlier models of Citizen signature skyhawk AT series had stainless steel case and many people felt the watches were too heavy for their wrist. In order to resolve this, the company came out with titanium case in JY0010-50E to make the weight of the watch lighter. The titanium is nearly half of the weight of stainless steel but almost 30% stronger than the stainless steel. Another advantage of titanium is, unlike steel it doesn't make your wrist smell bad when you sweat. The watch has extremely good size, has a lot of features and more importantly you don't need to feel all that weight on your wrist unlike previous similar models. The details on watch are extra ordinary, from the case and bracelet to the dial of the watch.If you have owned Citizen watches before, then you would know that the company takes their craft very seriously and focuses their effort to bring out the best watches in the industry to all the watch consumers out there. And then they outdo themselves, again and again. Almost all the features in this watch are exceptional, but the atomic time feature is very noteworthy in that it ensures the most accurate timekeeping all over the world. The watch is able to read signals from virtually any available towers in the United States, Europe, Japan, and some other supported regions. Originally Citizen skyhawk meant to serve solely to the tastes of pilots who needed this real time function, but the watch soon became very admired among frequent travelers who need to travel between different time zones frequently. The watch displays dual time zone on the dial i.e. home time and visiting time.Amid group of other features, there are four main features, which actually make the USP of this watch. The USP of this watch lies in the eco-drive technology, atomic time keeping abilities, dual time zone display, and titanium case. The eco-drive technology sets you free from dilemma of replacing the battery in your watch ever few years and the atomic time keeping function sets the time in your watch automatically and keeps it accurate and synchronized with atomic watches around the world.When venturing into the upper echelon of Citizen watches you will find yourself face to face with this Citizen men's titanium skyhawk A-T flight chronograph watch. Moreover, when you have the watch around your wrist, you would know why most of the watch collectors around the world have named Citizen JY0010-50E as watch of the year. You have to try it in order to believe it, and I am very certain you would not be disappointed. If you want to try one of the best, then have a look at this watch.

The Best Free Android Apps For Sports Fans

Just like all the other categories of Android apps, the sports apps available for your Android phone are extremely diverse. In my opinion, this particular category may be the most diverse simply because of all the different sports that are played throughout the world. Of course with every sport comes hundreds of Android apps.If, for instance, you're looking for an app that will allow you to keep up with the many European soccer leagues, you need to have at least some help before you start downloading apps. If you go in blind, chances are you will download ten apps that sound like they would do the trick before you find one that does half what you would want it to do! That's just how it is. I just hope that if you go about finding apps that way, you are doing so with free apps- otherwise you could be out hundreds of dollars pretty darn quick.One last note: I am going to concentrate on free Android sports apps that are popular now and will be popular in the future. Well that's obvious, right? Not exactly- a lot of the apps fly to the top of the rankings because it's a certain time of the year or a huge sporting event is going on (World Cup or the Olympics). I'm also looking into the pure quality of the app and the developer of the app. This way, if you want an awesome Football App (either US Football or regular Football), you should be pretty happy now and in the future with the one I list...Although there are a lot of Android sports apps that do many more things than providing sports news, I'm concentrating on free Android apps for sports fans on this particular list.Sporting News Pro FootballIf you're a huge NFL fan, this app should be on your phone. This is a great app to have for game day or if you're like me and like to look up every stat for every player! The user interface is classy and not too crowded.CBS Sports Pro FootballI really shouldn't have two pro football Android apps on my list, but it's the most popular sport in the US and after thinking about it, why not have three? Maybe I won't go that far. This is a great football app for everyone, but it's really geared towards those who play Fantasy Football through CBS Sports. Just login and you will have complete control over your fantasy team!NBA Game Time Lite 2009-10This is the official NBA Android app from last season. This coming season's app will surely be even better! It provides all the player and team stats, real-time scores and even TV information so that you can find out what channel your favorite team is playing on! If you're an NBA fan and you want a standalone pro basketball app, this is your best option.F1 LIVE RACINGAre you a Formula 1 fan? I'll tell you what, honestly, I'm not much of a fan but that doesn't mean I don't love this app. This free Android sports app provides more than just live updates for every F1 race around the world. Plain and simple, the graphics and the features are fun. If you download this app, you won't be disappointed!FotMob 5.0 - Live SoccerThe best soccer leagues from around the world are followed on this app. Some of them include the Premier League, Serie A, Primera Division and Allsvenskan. I could go on and on, but I really wouldn't have a clue about what I'm talking about, haha. I'll admit that I'm not the biggest soccer (football) fan, but I've looked through this app and it's a very solid, professionally built app that I would recommend to anyone.ESPN ScoreCenterI really shouldn't have to say much more than this is the official ESPN app. Heck, I'm not going to: ESPN is "The Worldwide Leader In Sports" after all!SportsTapThis is again more of a sports portal. All of the big sports are covered by this app and it's obvious why hundreds of thousands of people really like it! It's tastefully done and you'll never complain about a lack of stats or information.If you're looking for just one free Android sports app to satisfy your sports-fix, you can't go wrong with either ESPN ScoreCenter or SportsTap!Major League Baseball NewsThere is borderline too much (not in a bad way) baseball information crammed into this app! If you can't get enough of MLB, you need to download this free Android app now. Along with all of the standard stats, standings and results, each team has their own page and you can customize your own RSS feed through this app!MMA NewsAll the latest results, upcoming matches and octagon gossip you'd ever want! If you're into Mixed Martial Arts, this is the app to get. IMO, it blows away any other MMA-related Android app.Sports Radio Droidhis radio app gives you the capability to listen to just about any sports show in the country! There's a healthy list of stations that are covered and I literally NEED this app when I go on vacation. Heaven forbid I'd be away from my sports talk show for a few days, haha. It's also a great app if you're living far away from your hometown and your favorite team.Honorable Mention:BOXING NEWS
Fantasy Guru
Golf Channel Mobile
NHL News Feed
WNBA Center Court
