For years, I've wanted to subscribe to one of many companiesout therethatdelivercat-related goodies to crazy cat ladies like myself on a monthly basis.

Some feature cattoysand treats,some feature accessoriesand giftsforcatladies,som e area m ix ofboth.

Just when I think I'm about to take the plunge, the price causes me to pause, re-evaluate, and come to the conclusion that I should instead stock up on cat food for my flock of feral cats and two indoor kitties. I can never have enough stockpiled cat food.

Then along came Cat Sticker Club. For $3.50 a month, I have a high quality, weatherproof, vinyl sticker sent to my home. If $3.50 seems steep for one 3-4" sticker a month, it really isn't. These are not only excellent quality and durability, they are designed by artists who have submitted their work and havebeen paid accordingly,postageisincluded, and 10 percent of the profits go shelters and rescues.

That $3.50 goes along way.

What to do with a sticker? Cat Sticker Club has the following suggestions: laptops, thermoses, guitar cases, bumpers, bikes,litter boxes,petcarriers,lockers,binders,fridges...Ilove how thisOregon-based

Ray Rocket 'Do You Wanna Go to Tijuana?'

When Teenage Bottlerocket singer Ray Carlisle set out to make his first solo acoustic record, he had one goal in mind: proving his late brother and bandmate Brandon Carlisle wrong about doing it.

Brandon was the drummer for the Laramie-based punk band and was alrai d a solorecordwould affect the group, Ray said.

Now, following Brandon's death lastyear and the reformation of the band this year, Carlisle is finally releasing his solo record,"Do You Wanna Go to Tijuana?" under the moniker"Ray Rocket."

This is Carlisle's first forayinto solo acoustic music, which stemmed kom his love of playing acoustically in kont of people. Most of the songs are previouslyrecorded Teenage Bottlerocket songs reworked musically, with additions of cello, violin and tambourines, Ray said.

Ray said he is ready to start playing solo shows despite the obvious differences kom Bottlerocket.

"It's a different dynamic without the band," he said."If I screw up, it's going to be a lot more obvious. I feel grateful to be able to do the acoustic thing and playin Teenage Bottlerocket. I love having that balance in my life."

From throwing to piling to eating • The origin and evolution of the wedding cake is little known to most modern brides Northeast Oregon eats WHERE I ATE:Mamacita's International Grill, 2003 4th St., La Grande WHAT I ORDERED:TacoSalad THE VERDICT:I am currently pregnant, and finding a healthy place to eat and good food is not exactly easy. With my random cravings all the time, I find myself going to Mamacita's.

It's nice to have the option for quiet seating down stairs, if need to be. The wide variety of food satisfies which ever craving I have; from pasta, hamburgers, wraps and sandwiches. Most recently my craving was for Taco Salad.

The lettuce is always fresh, the ground beef has a beautiful, unique taste.you have to try the pink or green goddess sauce.

I am officially hooked!

No matter what I get to eat, I order a Strawberry Pink Lemonade to drink.

There are always fresh strawberries in my drink; it definitely quenches my thirst.

My experience this go around was wonderful. The waitress got our food in and I was able to eat all my lunch before I had to go back to work. She checked in multiple times to make sure everything was okay. She had a great personality that made the experience more joyful.

— Erica Perin, Observer Classified Ad Representative

It hasn't always been flowers and ribbons. Once upon a time, rather than being eaten, cakes were thrown at the bride as a symbol of fertility.

The ritual of the wedding cake in Britain can be traced back to medieval times, when it would have beenmade ofwheat, then thrown at the bride.

It also wasn't just cake that was eaten after the ceremony.

All the baked goods, which included scones and biscuits, were piled high (the higher the better)and the couple attempted to kiss over the mound.

If they managed the kiss without topplingthe pile ofdesserts they were assured a lifetime of prosperity.

In the 1600s, a visiting French chef was quite appalled by the uncouth piling ritual and recommended a more stable stacking system instead, using sawn off broom handles.

However this more elegant use of tiers didn't catch on until later.

In the 17th century "bride pie" became popular, which varied from sweetbreads to mince pies or even mutton pie.

Within the bride pie was a glass ring which was used in a similarway to the bouquet today:whichever woman found it was meant to become the next bride.

For those less affluent families, this pie might have formed the centrepiece.

The popularity of tiered wedding cakes came, legend has it, as a result ofa baker's apprentice in late 18th century London.

The story goes that William Rich set up as an apprentice in Ludgate hill and fell in love with his boss's daughter.

When he asked her to marry him, he wanted to impress her with a large, beautiful cake and his inspiration came from the spire of St Bride's church.

However, there are no survivingrecords ofthiscake.

It was the marriage of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1840 that really set the fashion for weddings — the dresses and cakes both became big and white as a norm.

Sugar was now cheaper and it became much easier for working class families to imitate the weddings of the rich.

But of course this affluence couldn't last, and wartime rationing rather limited wedding cake options.

During World War II there were stric trations so cakes were much smaller. The average person would have probably had some ingredients donated from friends and relations. Others used deceptive tricks so their cakes looked the part.

Gravy browningmade fruit cakes look richer or cardboard cakes were rented and the real, smaller cake was concealed inside.

Even though the origins of the wedding cake may have been birthed in Britain by our m edieval ancestors,Iam sure our modern brides can most definitely be thankful we do not throw cake at them anymore.

Birds chirp their morning calls from atop a nearby limb; insects flutter by for the first time in months. Are the signs of spring finally showing, or is the Josephy Centerplanning a new art exhibit?

The Josephy Center for the Arts and Culture will open its spring exhibit on Friday. The exhibit is centered around wings, which encompassesbirds and insects,as well as cherubs and planes.

"The director, Cheryl, thought about outdoor themes and came up with birds," curator Kendrick Moholt said."I thought birds were done too much, and I wanted to bring an eclectic flare to the show."

Moholt thought Flight in Fine Art would have a broader appeal M ore than 25 regional artists will be featured, yielding a diverse group of subjects. eWe wantedpeople to surprise us with their out-of-the-box ideas," Moholt said."And they did."

Moholt said he invited one artist, Scott Carpenter, of Portland, to be in the show.

"Scott has photographed more birds than probably most avid bird watchers have even seen," Moholt said."Plus he has a really nice artistic eye, so we had to have some of his bird photography."

Carpenter said he has been birding since he was 5, but only recently dedicated himself to bird

photography.

"Part of it came from when I was in Chicago," Carpenter, now 45, said."There were kids there who had never seen a cardinal."

Northern cardinals, which are fairly common throughout the m idwest, are alsothe statebird of Illinois.

"Their eyes lit up, and I knew we have to show everybody what these birds look like so they can have an appreciation for them. I

Carpenter said he gave Moholt24 photosfortheexhibit, but doesn't expect they will all be used.

"There was one I took in Joseph, though," he said."There was a barn between Joseph and the airport, and the front half of the bard had fallen ofK A barn owl was inside, and it caught my eye from half a mile away. Joseph is a friendly and welcoming to birders when we invade the town in winter,soitiskind ofneatto share my photos in Joseph."

Carpenter's work makes up the center of the show, with the rest built around it, Moholt said. The remainder of the exhibit came from opencall sfor art.

Debbie McIntosh, of Pendleton, also submitted nature photography for the open call. The photo sh submitted is of a great blue heron taking flight.

"There was already a dark background from the black lava, and it was the end of the day, so there is a lotofcontrastand thefeathers have highlights ofblue and white," McIntosh said."I happened to be in theperfectposition."

McIntosh said she hadn't had the photo developed yet, but thought of it when she heard about the Wings exhibit.

Minae Lee, of Portland, submitted this painting to the Josephy Center's spring exhibit. The image, which depicts a moth covering a woman's face, is one of the many interpretations of the theme Wings: Flight in Fine Art. "I'm excited to see what the art is, since it was left up to our own interpretation," she said.

Michelle Baird, from just outside of Joseph, works primarily with watercolor. She submitted a painting oftwo african bee eaters circling in courtship, the male with a dragonfly.

Jennifer Klimsza, of Joseph, submitted an acrylic painting based ona classicalpiece.The work features a cherub holding a pocket watch that, like the cherub, has wings.

"I thought a lot of artists would do birds, so Itook aspin on that," Klimsza said.

Klimsza, who leads a Painting and Wine event at the Josephy Center, said the center is a"wonderful place for all kinds of artists."

The exhibit will also feature a lifesizebronze sculpture ofa bald eagle perched on a limb by Tim Norman, of Enterprise.

The original clay work took about six months, and the casting process took 12-16 weeks, according to Norman, who is on the center's board ofdirectors.

The exhibit also includes work from local artists Ellen Bishop, Jo Jefferies, Gwen Shoemaker, Robert Kemp, David Martin, Rick McEwan and Silje Christofferson.

Wings: Flight in Fine Art opens with a reception at 7 p.m., which will include music, wine and an opportunity to meet some of the artists. Baird, Klimsza, McIntosh and Norman,among others,plan to attend the reception. The exhibit will run through May 11.

O. 3azz Ambassadors of the U.S. Army The Jazz Ambassadors, which is known as America's big band, will perform a variety of music when it plays in La Grande on Friday night.

"We will have some music to recognize the veterans and active military in the audience, but we want to appeal to a broader audience," Tour Coordinator Staff Sgt. Tyler Shultz said.

Selections of early jazz from the start of the 20th century through the swing era, bebop and modern jazz are all included in the April 1 program.

The Jazz Ambassadors is one of four performing groups in the U.S.Army Field Band under the service of the Office of the Chief of Public Affairs.

The Jazz Ambassadors is currently touring the western portion ofthe United States, with several upcoming shows in Washington.The Ambassadors will return to Oregon at the tailend of the tour for a concert in Salem on April 11 and one in Eugene on April 12.

The other three performing groups of the Field Band are the Concert Band, Soldiers' Chorus and Volunteers.

The Concert Band and Soldiers' Chours are currently touring together with upcomingshows in Kentucky, West Virginia and Maryland.

For more information about the four performing components or a history of the Field Band, visit www. armyfieldband.com.

High school students get jazzed about next performance Looking through the rows of talented musicians, one can see performersfrom allover the country. Among the many distinguished saxophonists, trombone players and trumpeters of the United States Army Jazz Ambassadors sit three familiar faces.

La Grande High School students Dan Felley, Jordan Hickey and Ben Remily will have the distinct honor of performing with the Jazz Ambassadors Friday.

The United States Army Field Band tour coordinator, Staff Sgt.

Tyler Shultz, said it is common to offerlocalperformers and color guard the opportunity to be a part of each concert.

"The main reason the Ambassadors travel around the country performing is to generate support from the American people for the Army," Shultz said."It is an important relationship to have between the two."

Shultz believes the local involvementincreases the level of interestand support.

Although the local guest spotsmay be a regular feature to theJazz Ambassadors, itis

a unique opportunity for high school students to perform with a prominent, national big band.

For LHS band director Chris Leavitt, it wasn't easy deciding who to nominate for this honor.

"They all really take ownership of their music, and that's a rare thing," he said of his students."It makes the class that much more meaningful."

Despite having to choose from a classroom fullofpassionate students, three names did stand out in his mind.

Allthree students are part of the school's Jazz Band, which

gives them some experience with this type of performance.

Felley, a sophomore, plays trombone.

"Some trombone students quit because the music doesn't pay them enough attention, especially at the middle school level," Leavitt said. "But when you get to jazz music, the trombone partstake off."

Leavitt said Felley needs to be challenged. Due to his hard work, Felley has excelled in both jazzand concert performance, accordingto Leavitt.

Consumer tablets replaced by business NEW YORK — Tablets may never again be the consumer sensation they once were, but theyarefi nding new life among professionals.

Apple took aim at that market in announcing a second iPad Pro model this week. Samsung started selling the Windowsbased Galaxy TabPro S last week, while Microsoft doubled down on itsSurface tabletbusiness last fall with Surface Book, a laptop whose keyboard pops ofF to leave behind atablet.Google hasits own using Android, the Pixel C. Unlike early models, these tablets are meant to be used with a physical keyboard and a stylus.

That makes them appealing to peoplelooking to getstufFdone, whether that's typing a report or drawing on a graphics app.

"It's no secretthe tabletbusiness has slowed down overall except in places where there's productivity," says Gary Riding, a senior vice president for mobile computing marketing at Samsung. ("Productivity," in this case, being jargon for work as opposed

to play.)

These new devices also have higher price tags. Many sell for

almost $1,000, or even more with accessories. Companies market them as PC replacements rather than devices for watching video, reading books and playing games — that is, things you can already do with your phone.

The Surface Pro 3 is "much thinner than a laptop, and when you have the case with the keyboard, it's essentially a laptop," says Ryan Hastman, who now leaves his Mac laptop behind while traveling to raise money for the University of Alberta in Canada.

Tablet shipments fell 10 percent to 207 million worldwide lastyear and are projected to fall another 6 percent this year, according to IDC. But one subset — tablets with detachable keyboards — more than doubled to 17 million last year. It's projected to grow to 64 million in 2020 and represent30 percent ofthe overall tablet market, rather than 8 percent now.

"It's not all doom and gloom," IDC analyst Jitesh Ubrani says.

"Microsoft' sdone a very good job atmarketing detachables.

Everyone's now jumping on that bandwagon."

In a sense, Apple was a victim of its own success following the iPad's debut in 2010. Tablets took ofF with consumers who found them appealing replacements for home laptops. But people haven't replaced them as often as phones.

Enter Microsoft, long the king of"productivity" software, which in 2012designed a tabletthatran Windows and targeted professionals. The Microsoft Surface didn't have the fun apps that iPads and Android tablets had, but it had Word, Excel and other 0$ce apps long before entertainment-oriented devicesdid.Italsohasa U SB port and other features missing in most tablets.

Ittook Microsofttw oyears to get it right, though. The Pro 3 in 2014 was the first Surface with a fully adjustable kickstand that mimicked the flexibility of laptop screens.

And lastfall'sm odels were the first Surface devices with Windows 10, which mirrored traditional PCs much more than the Windows 8 it replaced.

"Everyone wants a tablet, and everyone needs a laptop," says Brian Hall, Microsoft's general manager for Surface. 'You can have an approach that says people need to buy one of each, or you can have an approach that says there's a happy medium."

The holiday quarter was the best yet for Surface, with revenue increasing29 percent to $1.35 billion.

But don't count Apple out. IDC estimatesthat Apple sold more than 2 million iPad Pros in the holiday quarter when it launched, compared with 1.6 million units for Surface.

Apple's advantage: apps designed from the start for touch screens and battery conservation, rather than ones adapted from the mouse-and-keyboardworld of plugged-in Windows PCs.

Many tablet producers are seeingsalesincrease among business professionals.

Now, Apple is giving customers additional choice — a 9.7-inch iPad Prothat startsat$599, $200 cheaper than the 12.9-inch

original (add about$250for the

iOS

keyboard and stylus). Just as Microsoft and Samsung have done, Apple is targeting the hundreds of millions of people whose Windows machines are at least five years old. Apple says most iPad Pro customers are coming from Windows.

Bryan O'Neil Hughes, head of outreachand collaboration for software maker Adobe, says a fasterprocessor and better graphics make the Pro something people choose — rather than settle for — when replacing PCs. Many professionals in creative industries, he says,prefertablets overlaptops forpresentations, sketching and design.

That's not to say entertainm ent-focused tabletsaregoing away. Amazon has a healthy business selling such devices for as lowas $50 — creating its own niche, just as Apple, Samsung and Microsoft are with professionals.

"This is what happens as markets mature," says Jan Dawson, chief analyst with Jackdaw Research. "There's a lot more market that can only be served with niche and segmented products."

COLOR SPLASH PLUS Color Splash is a new photography-aiding app for iOS devices that lets you quickly and easily give photos a dramatic look.

First, you convert the images to black and white, then you are able to choose specific details to leave in the original color.

This effect draws the viewers' attention to the colored areas, creating striking images.
