Douglas Henderson, Prop. [Return to Top of Page] [Advanceto the Music Roll MENU] [Information and Links]  ARTCRAFTRecommendations BROWSER: ARTCRAFT Music Rolls now uses the Norwegian browser with 'speed'andcustomized versatility:  You owe it to yourself to try this unusual application ... and it'sfree! ARTCRAFT has been using Opera as a default browser on ourPCs since Version 3.64, which is a long time ago in the field ofcomputer browsers. Click on the Opera banner above or use this address: http://www.opera.com/index.dmland discover the speed and efficiency of the latest Opera edition, nowin Version 9.x (at this writing). Cell'Phone E-MAIL: About 85%of our Internet letters are written/received on a Palm Treo 650cellular 'phone, one of several in the genre called Smartphones (a word we avoid, duetodisliking the "smart" reference being overused in our time). Beingin a low end cell 'phone region, we use the free Opera Mini on ourTreo, and it's veryfast. Those who operate in more developed areas might be able tohave the full featured Opera Mobile browser as the default on theirhandset. Our Treo serves as an mp3 player, a camera and even composes MS-Word .doc messages with ourARTCRAFT letterhead. You can read more about Opera Mini cell'phone browsers here: http://www.operamini.com/- including their latest edition, launched recently, called "Dimension"(Opera Mini 4) SHORTWAVERadios — Beyond the Internet, it's the modern way to get the"real"news, today! In these times, you can't getanything but filtered informationand'rehash' on the American networks, so there has been a Renaissance inShortwavereceivers, starting a few years, ago. Digital tuning makes it simpleto access the foreign stations. Shortwave is immediate andoften provides a totally different perspective on what is called "news"in the United States, today. We highly recommend TheShortwave Store in Ontario, a family-owned business, operatedbyKeithand Alma Carcasole. Due to their excellent, personalized E-Mailservice,even giving us the 'pros-and-cons' of various models, we have purchasedseveral Shortwave receivers from their enterprise. Check out this linkand the parent business called Durham Radio, whichconnects to The Shortwave Store page. LINUX:The time has come to consider "phasing out" Microsoft Windows! We have dual-boot laptops, runningLinux as well as severalversions of Windows, ending with XP Pro our the latest computer. Onecountry after another is going in for Open Source software and/or Linuxplatforms. It's a pleasure to run applications which never seem to beplagued with glitches and viruses. There are several major players inthe Linux field, but you might try Mandriva, which combines the older(French) Mandrake with the Connectiva brand from Brazil. Here's theirInternet address: http://www.mandriva.com/- - withdisk partioning software like VCom's PartitionCommander, it's easy to haveLinux for speed and efficiency and still use Windows for those oldprograms whichmerely trudge along. Start your morning TheARTCRAFT Way with "Vermont Morning" hot cereal This organic hot cereal is good atany time of the year, and can beprepared with a variety of grain+water combinations. VERMONTMORNING is the creation of Patricia and Peter Floyd, and - in ouropinion - it stands apart and aboveother domestic and imported hot cereals that we've tried. They havemany suggestions for the perparation, but our own bowls of the multi-grainporridge are 3/8 of a cup for the cereal to 1 1/4 cups ofwater. (For those without accuratemeasuring cups, 3/8 is between 1/3 and 1/2 a cup, approximately.) Youcan purchase VERMONT MORNING at the better organic co-ops as well ason-line from their Internet site:http://www.vtmorning.com/ Maineproduces some of the BEST organic coffee beans availableCheck out "Rock City Coffee Roasters" in Rockland, Maine! Every month we have 2 one-pound bags sent to us: ORGANIC ONE WORLD BLEND plus the ROASTER'S CHOICE. Thereso many great beans, which are craft roasted by this Maineenterprise, but you could start with this particular blend and thendiscover your own favourites. If you don't live in Maine, you can orderon-line from their Website - http://www.rockcitycoffee.com/ Take it from us, if you enjoy quality coffee, you definitely mustexperience the superlative beans from Rock City, in Rockland ME - orvisit their roastery and Rockland stores if you are in the coastalMaine area. It'stime to subscribe to a REAL news magazine: The Nation! If you haveread this far on our Home Page, you know that we don't hold much faithin the reporting of news in this era of corporated controlled media,the phalanx of lobbyists who 'purchase' politicians and the filterednature of the so-called news of our day. Beyond Shortwave Radio (see above) you should subscribeto THE NATION, a weekly thathas been published since 1865. It's America's oldest magazine and hasattracted the most famous authors from past times ... and our ownturbulent present. By dropping your subscriptions to the "big media"periodicals - including the famous newspapers - you can get fast andcomprehensive articles in THE NATION.For more information, go to this Website: http://www.thenation.com/ This in-depth and often lively magazine has a "trial subscription"plan, so it costs you nothing to sample it for several issues. OtherInternet news sources for our time: http://www.truthout.org/- http://www.buzzflash.com/ - http://democracynow.org/ - http://www.commondreams.org/Many of these and other Internet news sources have free E-Mailsubscriptions, but we definitely recommend the one from Truthout.org, which is availablefrom their Home Page. You might not want to read all of theirbulletins, but the headlines and the opening sentences are timelyand often very enlightening. Our1830's brick residence was converted "back to wood heat" in 2007: nomore horrendous fuel oil bills! Our old Maine house - shownin the background, here: http://wiscasset.nnei.net/artcraft/fotopg1.htm- became too much for us to handle during Winter, so we returned towood heat, which is what the many fireplaces were for, originally. Wepurchased a 'Fireview' soapstone stove from The Woodstock Stove Co. of NH... and it exceeded our expectations,which is why we are adding it to the list of ARTCRAFT Recommendations.The stove is solid soapstone - not aveneer - and heats 80% of our house on two floors. Both hallsare warmer than they ever were with the oil furnace system turned up tomaximum. The 'Fireview' fits into the historic décor of ourbuilding, used both as a residence and for the ARTCRAFT Studio. If youare considering wood heat, look no farther than this beautifullyconstructed product. There is noblack smoke coming from our chimney, produced by this wonderfulsoapstone stove; it features a catalytic combustor which makesfor highly efficient wood burning. Their Web page for the'Fireview' is - http://www.woodstove.com/pages/wood_stove_fireview.html During cold weather we've never been so warm, before! Wealso recommend "the cleaning elixir" from Dr. Bronner's soaps: SAL SUDS Many of you probably know about andhave purchased the organic soaps from Dr. Bronner's, but we want todraw your attention to their superlative cleaner, SAL SUDS. We use itfor dishes, laundry, household cleaning - even RV (Camper) exteriorsand car washing! You can read more about SAL SUDS from theirsite. Check it out! http://www.drbronner.com/drb_index.html (Enter and from there, use Searchfor SAL SUDS!) Areyou camping on the Coast of Maine? There's only ONE place which has anunspoiled, idyllic natural setting: SEARSPORTSHORES CAMPING Judged by the authoritative New England Camping Guide#1 RV Campground in Maine#1 Tent Campground in Maine #1 Most Beautiful Campground in MaineCheck out the SEARSPORT SHORES Website, here: http://www.campocean.com/ If you love Dutch street organmusic ... the BEST recording we've heard is produced right here in Maine! The star attraction for us was thepresence of the Elbert Pluer 64-key Dutch organ, at the 2007 Common Ground Fairin Unity, Maine. Linda and Kevin Sheehan not only played theirbeautifully-voiced organ - runningon folding "books" and powered with a 'hand crank/flywheel' system- but they also offered superlative CDs of this instrument, constructedin 2002. The builder came to the States for the final pipe voicing, sotheir organ is beyond anything you've probably heard at organ ralliesor on the streets of Amsterdam. The recording includes NOLA, FEED THE BIRDS from Mary Poppins, SECOND WALTZ by Shostokovich, COPENHAGEN and a host ofarrangements that will captivate any listener. The recordings of "DasEichhörnchen" (The Squirrel) can be ordered directly from thepublishers at $15.00 each + $5.00 shipping (in the States) for 1-6discs.
