Alaska Pick Views
Brilliantly designed Alaska Pik finger picks slide over your finger, but the picking edge fits under your fingernail! Alaska Piks give you intimate string touch similar to your own nails, but with no danger of painful nail breaks. The Alaska Pik's space age clear acrylic material can be manicured precisely to the length you want. Slide 'em on, and wail without fear! Sizes: Small (children, petite women), medium (women, smaller men), large (average to large men), or extra large (very big fingers, thumbs).
After playing finger style guitar for years and having to deal with busted fingernails I saw Alaska Piks in Musician's Friend Catalogue. I thought it could't hurt to give them a try. Wow, what an improvement. No more fingernail problems. I can play faster, smoother and louder than I could before. You will need to keep your fingernails a bit longer in order to anchor the picks in place which isn't big deal. You will be able to get used to them in under an hour. If they haven't already won a prize for best new product they should. The plastic ones work best for me although the brass have a great sound too.

Now, increasingly, nonprofits are tapping into these popular payments through the sld"Pick. Click. Give.qrd" program.
For the past three years, Alaskans could opt to dedicate a portion of their dividends to nonprofits participating in the Pick. Click. Give. program. So far, 386 nonprofits have lined up to tap a share of the 2011 Permanent Fund Dividends. It is optional for Alaskans to donate part of their dividends to charities. In 2010, 9,500 people donated some or all of their divided checks, generating approximately $750,000 for participating nonprofits. This year, the Pick.Click.Give organizers are hoping to attract $1.5 million in charitable donations.
