Mr. Reed was a dynamic performer who had distinguished himself as a session guitarist supporting Presley, Waylon Jennings and others before emerging as a major solo talent. He was most remembered for using an intricate guitar-picking style known as the “claw” because it used the entire right hand where earlier guitar giants such as Chet Atkins and Merle Travis favored a two or three-fingered approach.

What is “the claw”? Well it is not for a player with the skills of a new guitar for beginners student, that is for sure. To put it as simple as possible:

Claw(hammer) is sometimes known as frailing. It is primarily a down-picking style, and the hand assumes a claw-like shape and the strumming finger is kept fairly stiff, striking the strings by the motion of the hand at the wrist and elbow, rather than a flicking motion by the finger. Typically, only the thumb and second or first finger are used and the finger always downpicks, flicking the string with the back of the fingernail.

A common characteristic of clawhammer patterns is the thumb does not pick on the downbeat, as one might in typical fingerpicking patterns for guitar. For example, this is a common, basic time signature|2/4 pattern:

1. Pick a melody note on the downbeat (quarter note)
2. On the second beat (music)|beat, strum a few strings with your strumming finger (roughly an eighth note)
3. Immediately following (on the second half of this beat), pick a note with the thumb, usually the shorter fifth string. (roughly an eighth note)

Here, the thumb plays the high drone on the second “and” of “one and two and“. This combined with the second finger strumming provides a characteristic “bum-ditty bum-ditty” sound.

Some people, however, make a distinction between frailing and clawhammer:

• In frailing, the first fingertip is used for up-picking melody, and the second fingernail is used for rhythmic downward brushing.
• In clawhammer, only downstrokes are used, and they are typically played with one fingernail as is the usual technique on the banjo.

To play the guitar using “the claw”, is perhaps one of the most difficult methods to strum a guitar, taking tremendous amounts of practice and patience. Good luck and Enjoy

Let us start by explaining what a press release really is. By definition, a press release is simply, a statement created for distribution to the media. In addition, the purpose of a press release is to give a journalist information that will be useful, accurate and interesting. That makes since, right. Being useful, accurate, and interesting, that easy.

Press releases are actually cookie cutters. Once you have gotten the hang of writing one, all you have to do the next time, is fill in the blanks. Press releases will always conform to an established format, and journalists can receive so many press releases a day. They have a set standard and expectation that must be conformed to so that your press release will even be read, let alone published. If your press release is printed as is, without changing a word, then you have conformed to the journalistic standards of that particular medium. Write on, you are going to do a great job!

Press releases should always be printed on company letterhead. If this is not possible, adding the company logo would then be essential. The companies name, web address, location and phone number should be printed at the top of the page. At the top of the page in caps and bold center, you should spell out “PRESS RELEASE”. The press release contact name should be underneath the writing with all contact numbers printed clearly underneath. If this is for immediate response, say so, on the left margin directly above the title in caps.

The next important component of the press release would be the “Headline” or “Title”. It should also be centered and in bold, and it should capture the journalist’s attention. The press release title should be short but eye catching, grabbing the attention of the journalist, impressing them enough to read it.

Now you are ready for the useful, accurate, and interesting “body” of the press release. The body of the press release will need to begin with the date and city for which the press release is originated. The body itself of the press release should be very basic such as who, what, where, when and why. The first paragraph should be a brief description of what the press release is actually about. The second paragraph explains in more detail; who cares; why should you care; where you can find it; and when it will happen. Also included in the second informative paragraph is usually a quote that can give the release a personal touch. Press releases and news stories will be boring to journalists without a human interest to go along with it. The third paragraph would need to be a summation of the release and further information on the company with the company contact information clearly written out.

The content of a press release, and should be typed in a clear and basic font such as “Times New Roman” for example, and double-spaced. If the press release is longer than one page, the second page should indicate “Page 2” in the upper right hand corner. The journalistic standards have set clear and basic parameters to define the end of the press release: ###. Three # symbols, centered directly underneath the last line of the release will clearly indicate the end of an article.

So, the next time you are tasked with writing a press release for your company, you will know the basic rules as well as useful, accurate and interesting information portrayed within the set journalistic guidelines. You now know how to write a press release, so go for it and have fun.

This can be valuable time for a parent: socialize with the other parents (if they’re there), clean up some of the giant mess that the kids have made, or just sit in the back of the room and enjoy the show as well. With all the running around and planning that you’ve done over the course of planning this party for the children, party entertainers offer some much-needed relaxation for you!

For children party entertainers mean a time to enjoy some great entertainment. For adults, party entertainers mean a little time to take care of some other things – or eat a sandwich instead of helping the other kids eat. Consider hiring one for your next party, and savor the benefits of the extra time!

The simple fact is that companies that use dogs to detect mold in a home or business are not professionals.  They just are not.  The practice of using dogs to detect mold in a home or in another building is inhumane and cruel to the animal, simply because of the knowledge that pets are just as susceptible to health damage due to mold as human beings are.  A “mold dog” cannot detect whether or not the mold that exists in your home is toxic, what kind of mold it is, or in what quantity that it may exist.  This is what mold laboratories and testing kits are for.  All a mold dog can do is tell you if mold exists on the premises or not. 

It can cost thousands of dollars for a company to have a dog trained to detect mold, but even after the dog is trained, it is almost surely money thrown down the drain.  Dogs are trained to actively inhale mold spores, which is something that we as human beings are repeatedly told NEVER to do.  We are told to wear respirators to filter these harmful spores out of the air that we breathe when we are dealing with mold.  The animal is not aware that these spores can harm them at all.  Dogs can develop severe skin, eye, and sinus infections and not to mention lung infections and even pneumonia.  Unfortunately, the dog has no way of telling us that something is wrong with it.  It knows, but cannot communicate this to us.

There are many other more modern, more professional ways to deal with the task of detecting mold on a piece of property.  Any company that uses mold to detect dogs is not one that you want to deal with.  Mold dog websites often have pictures of completely healthy animals and they will remain healthy for a while, but the typical cause of death is due to mold-related health complications.
