Great taste and mixes well,can't fault it.
Great Stuff
- (04 / Feb / 2014)
I enjoy all of the products, they are some of the best priced products you will find. Some of the pre-workouts are hard to swallow but are still better tasting then any other product I have tried.
I feel the brand is nutritional and does what it says on the tin. Compared to other products the caffeine content is not as high.
I would and have recomended the products to friends/family.
Impact whey vanilla
- (27 / Jan / 2014)
Great taste, mixes well, and just as good as any other protein for recovery. Vanilla tastes nice, i put it on a frothy mix with a blender thingumabob Goes Well With:creatine, bcaa, nutrigreens, instant oats
- (20 / Jan / 2014)
Overall very good. It unflavoured mix tastes like baby formula which isn't too pleasant but after a while you get used to it. It also mixes really well with oats.
Vanilla Impact Whey Deluxe
I've had normal whey protein in the vanilla flavor before and it became one of my favorite flavors. I bought the Impact Whey Deluxe because it was on offer. Thankfully it takes and mixes pretty much the same. Sometimes it it doesn't mix as well as normal whey but its good enough. It tastes good with water and with milk it almost tastes like vanilla ice cream. It is also very versatile. I have used it to make protein pancakes and other dishes. Goes Well With:Milk, Water, and in pancakes/porridge.
Great stuff
- (20 / Jan / 2014)
Thought I'd try the deluxe impact whey as it was on offer... Its really good stuff! Makes a nice thick shake.
I do find the odd lump even after shacking for a few minutes.Goes Well With:Powdered Oats
- (04 / Jan / 2014)

Chocolate smooth... mixes great and tastes fantastic, even with water. The best thing you can get to sate your chocolate cravings in a low-carb high-protein way. Its made of win, and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in a quality whey protein with an awesome taste. Definitively going to buy this again, over and over.Goes Well With:Water

Impact whey deluxe

Great tasting and easy mixing protein. Feeling the benefits of it already. It's great to look forward to a tasty protein shake in the morning and after afternoon workout. No stomach problems with this either.will definitely buy again.Goes Well With:Porridge powder.
Cannot fault it
- (16 / Dec / 2013)
I took a gamble and purchased a 3kg bag of the chocolate smooth flavour - luckily it's pretty tasty! I wouldn't say it is too sweet or artificial tasting, and it mixes a lot better than some competitors (e.g. Sci Mx in my experience). Due to this, I think I was a little over zealous with the shaking the first couple of times and introduced too much air into the shake. Happy with the price and packaging. Protein content etc. is pretty comparable to all similar products.
(As an aside, the company may want to reconsider using Yodel as a delivery service. They have a pretty bad reputation round here, which was supported by my experience - the driver left a totally blank card at my house, with no details of my package or where it was. Thankfully I managed to track it online, but bumped into someone else at the depot who had not been so lucky. Also, the depot is 20 miles from my house, and they would not redeliver to my work).Goes Well With:Milk
Cheapest and the best
- (16 / Dec / 2013)
I used to be a bit of a snob when it came to whey protein. I thought that you get what you pay for. I decided to try this as it was getting too expensive. Since then I haven't used anything else. It works so well, Mixes so easily, and tastes just as good as the expensive stuff. Do yourself a favour and switch. Save you'd money for chicken and steak lolGoes Well With:Going to the gym haha. Or instant oats
- (16 / Dec / 2013)
Speedy delivery, product worked well and tasted great. Good value - excellent as always!
- (16 / Dec / 2013)
Fast delivery, nice taste, been using it only for less than 2 weeks, so no major results spotted yet, but look forward to it. Goes Well With:Milk, water, blend with banana
- (15 / Dec / 2013)
Really impressed with my first order, tried a number of protein brands over the years and this is definitely the best. Great tasting chocolate that doesn't have terrible after taste, results have been really positive. Definitely my new drink of choice. Goes Well With:Not tried it with any other products yet.
- (11 / Dec / 2013)
Excellent blend, taste and performance! I feel it gives me plenty of nutrition to fuel my workouts, the blend is much thicker than the impact whey protein therefore no milk is needed. Already turned a few friends in this direction because I am impressed with this product!Goes Well With:Water and milk but water thickens the shake just as much as water
- (09 / Dec / 2013)
Fantastic delivery service, protein does what it says although doesn't mix as well as the standard protein. On the whole good
- (09 / Dec / 2013)
Great product! Both Vanilla and Chocolate taste great just mixed with water.
- (06 / Dec / 2013)
Impact whey deluxe is very good protein which mixes quite easy and has got a smooth taste, I have good gains with training while I have been taking impact whey, it's also good value for money, thanks.
Chocolate vs Vanilla.
- (24 / Nov / 2013)
Get the chocolate flavour Impact Whey Deluxe. The rating I've given is for chocolate and vanilla would get 3 stars, 2 if it wasn't for the high quality blend and the price. It tastes... average, mixes okay in water, but can't mix with oats e.t.c. because it's just too thick and 'lumpy'. It's not undrinkable, but not good.
Chocolate is the best powder I've ever tasted, and I've previously bought from other higher priced brands. It mixes great in milk (and tastes like it came out of a restaurant), mixes better in water, with no extra thickness/lumps like the vanilla. Performance wise, I have no idea. If you can tell the difference between 2 slightly different blends, you're a better man than I am. It's got 20g per scoop.
Overall, chocolate is great, I won't be buying anything else for the foreseeable future. Vanilla is just about drinkable. I wouldn't recommend that one.Goes Well With:Real food.
- (21 / Nov / 2013)
Excellent product, great mixer with no bits left in the bottom of the bottle. Great taste and easy to drink unlike other powders which can be too thick even with more than the stated amount of liquid.
Tastes great with water or milk is using for weight gain. Chocolate smooth with skimmed milk and a spoon of myprotein smooth peanut butter is amazing.
Note: if adding instant oats to this it will make the shake very thick so adjust the liquid quantity to suit.Goes Well With:Creapure, peanut butter, instant oats
Too Thick
Dale McGinty
- (13 / Nov / 2013)
I have 2 scoops of this Impact Whey Deluxe with 2 scoops of oats. This protein is new to me and even with the Myprotein large mixers full of water it's so thick I have to grin and bear drinking it.
- (12 / Nov / 2013)
Very good protein, it will help you to achieve your goals, it does the work.
I recommend.
Great product and taste
- (06 / Nov / 2013)
Helps with recovery, tastes great (vanilla), and mixes really well with a shaker or froth mixer! Definitely recommended.Goes Well With:Creatine Monohydrate before, BCAA's.
- (31 / Oct / 2013)
Top notch cheers Goes Well With:Milk and water
Very good
- (21 / Oct / 2013)
Very good, mixes well. The smooth chocolate is a little sweet. Would like to have had more flavour choices, but will buy this again. And again. And again......
Impact Whey Deluxe
- (14 / Oct / 2013)
Impact Whey Deluxe is brilliant quality for the price. It mixes easily and goes brilliant with creatine!
Love this stuff!
- (11 / Oct / 2013)
I absolutely love this stuff! I had been weight training for a while and had been finding my recovery time to be quite annoying so I decided to buy some protein. I had heard loads of great things about myprotein so I came on here and ordered this in choc smooth flavour of 1kg. It tastes great. I am such a chocolate fiend but having this kind of replaces all the other unhealthy chocolate bars all the while benefiting my muscles. I noticed after a couple of weeks that my recovery time was much less and I was actually shocked when I flexed my biceps one day, I had never seen such muscle on my body before. The muscles are popping out all over my body and I am so happy. I swear by this stuff now. I always drink it with milk and I have one with my breakfast in the morning. I had been having problems where I'd have breakfast and not long afterwards I would be really hungry again. But since having one of these shakes with my breakfast, hunger stays at bay for so much longer! I absolutely swear by this stuff now. Felt lost when I ran out so I ordered a 3kg bag of it at the weekend and received it within 2 days. Panic over haha! Only thing is with the 3kg pouch it is quite hard to re-seal! Goes Well With:Milk
Impact Whey Deluxe Chocolate
- (04 / Oct / 2013)
Impact Whey Deluxe is easily mixed. Great taste.
- (27 / Sep / 2013)
Impact Whey Deluxe is a great tasting product and good value for money, just buy it!Goes Well With:Semi - Skimmed Milk
Best quality/price ratio
- (24 / Sep / 2013)
For the price of this Impact Whey Deluxe, you get a fine mixture of whey concentrate, whey isolate and also hydrolysed whey. You can't miss this deal! It is a must-have supplement in my opinion, especially necessary after workout. The flavoured ones taste great! I would probably buy this again.
- (24 / Sep / 2013)
Just as good. More expensive hold standard, no difference in taste or mix ability but half price, great.Goes Well With:Creatine
- (23 / Sep / 2013)
Great product overall. Chocolate tastes great. Good to mix instant oats as an extra meal.
Goes Well With:Instant oats
- (23 / Sep / 2013)
My first protein or supplement purchase as I'm new to this whole game. Was worried that I would go off the idea and it would just be a phase, but even with just water the vanilla whey is tasty and look forward to trying in in pancakes etc.
I had hoped that delivery would come with a free shaker. Might get another to keep at work.Goes Well With:Only tried with just water so far.
- (19 / Sep / 2013)
For me this Impact Whey Deluxe is the purest protein I've used. It's the easiest on my stomach and I have zero bloating or gas due to it. I've used other protein powders and they have played havoc with my digestive system.Goes Well With:IBCAA, Creatine
Impact Whey
- (16 / Sep / 2013)
I love this Impact Whey Deluxe. It's not quite as good as Total Protein but a great protein source nonetheless. I have the natural flavour right now so I can't comment on the other tastes, however unflavoured is actually quite palatable. I would recommend this to anyone.Goes Well With:Milk, water, smooth protein, egg white protein!
- (16 / Sep / 2013)
Impact Whey Deluxe is a really good product.
big lew
- (11 / Sep / 2013)
Got 1 kg of this woked okay but still got DOMS for 1 day after a hard workout didn't really work after I used it I got some Whey Protein Plus and it's the best mases of energy and good protein.Goes Well With:milk
- (09 / Sep / 2013)
Good product tastes really good, mixes well have only just started taking so not sure on results yet but expect good things.
- (09 / Sep / 2013)
Really nice taste, I use double chocolate one every day. It stops my cravings to eat deserts as well as I think cravings are more for the taste (psychological) than for anything else. It mixes smoothly no cakes etc... I use it as a supplement in my weight loss regime together with CLA and Thermopure. It fits perfectly after a cardio and general conditioning workout.Goes Well With:CLA, Thermopure
Not easy on the stomach
- (31 / Aug / 2013)
Impact Whey Deluxe works fantastic, but I suffer from IBS and therefore prefer the normal whey protein that doesn't cause me problems, this does. Aside from that it is good.Goes Well With:Water/Milk
Impact whey Deluxe
- (29 / Aug / 2013)
I bought this Impact Whey Deluxe because was it's hydrolyzed and a good price, but it's basically powdered slime. When you make it up (with water anyway), it's tacky and gummy, and it's difficult not to imagine it's the consistency of something considerably less appetising. I'm currently having to mix this with some normal impact whey just to change the consistency, but even then it's not that great.
There is always a Whey!
- (24 / Aug / 2013)
Impact Whey Deluxe is a great product. I use it with Milk Protein Smooth and Egg White powder to create the perfect shake. I get consistently good results with Myprotein products and have used them for years. I read lots of reviews that bang on about the taste. I prefer the unflavoured whey products as you get used to the unusual milky/cheese flavour and I don't like the very sweet taste of the flavoured varieties. That said, I do like Choc Mint.Goes Well With:Milk Protein Smooth, Egg White powder, Creatine & BCAA's
Great product
- (20 / Aug / 2013)
I am very happy with the purchase of this Impact Whey Deluxe. I can give it 5 stars only. Highly recommended. I use it before or after a long run, and sometimes I substitute a meal with it.
- (12 / Aug / 2013)
I have been buying this product for a good couple of months now. After trying some of the main market brands, I got fed up with the money I was spending and after being recommended thought I would try this due to the cheap price.
To be honest I thought that due to the price it may a rubbish product in terms of both effectiveness and mixability and that this would be a one off purchase. However the product mixes really well with both water and milk and the flavours taste really nice. I started with Vanilla whcih was nice and found the flavour could be mixed with milk and cereal, I then moved onto the Chocolate which if mixed with milk tastes like a McDonalds milkshake and works well with water after a gym session.
Would definitely recommend, worth buying the mixer shake as this works really well.
Whey impact powder
- (10 / Aug / 2013)
I got this Impact Whey Deluxe powder as part of a bundle I bought, and I'm glad I did. The taste is awesome and it mixes so well, I never have lumps at all. A recommended purchase for everyone. I can't wait to order my next batch. Goes Well With:Water. Milk. BCAA.
- (08 / Aug / 2013)
Super great sup. Excellent value, excellent taste, excellent mix ability and it delivers the goods. I'm re-buying....Also Doesn't deliver any of the nasty protein farts that some whey does. Get big and smell nice!
Goes Well With:Weight lifting and jesus.

Celtics Offseason Grade (So far ...)
posted at 9/3/2013 8:56 PM EDT
Grade: A. The blockbuster deal between the Celtics and Nets worked out well for both teams, as Brooklyn doubled down to satisfy its win-now bent while Boston embraced a much-needed transition. The next era of Celtics basketball begins with a promising coach, a collection of future picks and a likely lottery selection in 2014.
What Went Right: Boston's transition. Rather than simply let time (and contracts) expire on the team's long-standing core, general manager Danny Ainge found a solid return on both Garnett and Pierce in a trade with Brooklyn. Shipping out such beloved players wasn't taken lightly, but with Garnett nearing retirement and Pierce set to be a free agent next summer, it made sense for Boston to take the assets it could from a trade partner willing to splurge. Otherwise, Boston's trajectory — with an aging core and still-injured Rajon Rondo — wasn't promising in the slightest. The Celtics could have strung out another year or two of playoff basketball but without realistic hope of title contention.
Instead, Ainge redeemed Garnett's and Pierce's trade value while that option was still on the table. In return for the two future Hall of Famers, the Celtics acquired three first-round picks (2014, 2016, 2018), the right to swap first-round picks with the Nets in 2017, Humphries' $12 million expiring contract, a decent prospect in Brooks and whatever can be salvaged from the three years Wallace has left under contract. The Celtics also shed the $11.5 million owed to Terry over two seasons, offsetting some of the cost of obtaining Wallace's weighty salary*.
That's quite a haul considering that Garnett and Pierce are on the downswing and that KG owned a no-trade clause. Garnett's ability to pick and choose acceptable trade destinations limited the kinds of deals that Boston was able to pursue. The Clippers (after hiring Rivers to replace Vinny Del Negro as coach) seemed an amenable landing spot for Garnett, but talks between the two teams reportedly stalled when Boston demanded DeAndre Jordan and multiple draft picks. Beyond that, the degree of difficulty in completing any transaction involving Garnett would only scale upward. Not only would Ainge need to find a bounty sufficient for a trade chip of Garnett's stature and build a trade package that would satisfy another team, but he also had to create an exchange that KG, too, would find desirable. This kind of veto power isn't merely an inconvenience for a team like the Celtics, but an active obstruction in transitioning from one era to the next.
But Brooklyn's desperation after a first-round playoff exit created an incredible opportunity. The Nets were willing to surrender three first-round picks — two of which might come after their new acquisitions have already moved on or retired — and a few lesser assets in exchange for both Garnett and Pierce, all of which primes the Celtics' rebuild. Boston needed this kind of turnover and these kinds of assets. A deal of this magnitude had to happen lest Garnett and Pierce age into irrelevance with nothing for the Celtics to show for it, and it's hard to imagine a better deal coming along given the decline of both players and the layered complications involved.
Boston will be a bad team until some of its picks and prospects pan out. But the Celtics have taken measures to grow through their struggles with the hiring of Stevens as a first-time NBA coach. In addition to the motivational charisma that made him such an effective coach at Butler, Stevens is an exceptionally modern thinker in how he approaches the game and a great fit for the Celtics' progressive front office. He's not some retread with a stale style and defined range of potential success, but a prospect of a different kind in whom the Celtics are wise to invest.
The NBA learning curve will undoubtedly get the better of Stevens at times in his first few seasons. But he deserves this kind of opportunity, and Boston could well thrive under his strategic guidance. His hiring is a gamble, surely, but a smart roll of the dice to land a sharp, personable basketball mind. Stevens will have some interesting pieces to juggle in Rondo (who is set to miss the start of the season as he recovers from an ACL tear), Wallace, Olynyk (who looks to be NBA-ready), Humphries, Brooks, Avery Bradley, Jeff Green, Courtney Lee, Jared Sullinger and Brandon Bass. It's a combination that gives Stevens NBA talent and professionalism while still affording room for the younger players on the roster to play and learn.
But most important of all: Stevens will be left to his own devices in a debut season with minimal expectations. Boston is banking on losing games ahead of the deep 2014 draft, and though building chemistry through a losing season might hold its own challenges, it's helpful that Stevens will have a chance to immerse himself in the NBA world without facing any immediate pressure to win.
*It should be noted that while most teams wouldn't want to touch the three years and $30.3 million that Wallace has remaining on his deal, Boston's rebuild mitigates the limitations and damage of acquiring such a contract. The Celtics will likely have little urgent need to make use of their cap space, and thus can survive a few seasons of Wallace's deal at less penalty than a borderline playoff team or tax-conscious contender might.
What Went Wrong: If anything, the break in the dissolution of the roster. There's nothing wrong with keeping some veteran players on mid-level contracts, but players such as Lee and Bass could theoretically be flipped for assets that might make more sense to a rebuilding team, as is true of Wallace's hefty deal and Humphries' expiring contract. All of which is to only say that Boston's work isn't finished yet. The Celtics still have players to move and prospects to acquire, meaning that the team's greatest misstep this summer is merely that those subsequent moves have yet to be completed.
Otherwise, the Celtics have made the most of their circumstances. They've landed a bevy of long-term assets with only short-term losses; hired an up-and-coming coach to replace a proven one who wished to leave; and seem to have drafted well based on early returns.

I agree that every off-season move that Danny has made so far has been superb. A+
Now he needs to trade for a young high-quality Center and to draft well in 2014. Cannot afford ANY more first round busts. 1 out of 5 (+2 unknowns) is not a good draft record.
2013 - first round pick Olynyk = too early to tell
2012 - first round pick Melo = bust 2012 - first round pick Sully... ???)
2011 - first pick Johnson = bust
2010 - first round pick Bradley = good pick
2009 - first pick Hudson = bust
2008 - first round pick Giddens = bust

No question Danny has done a better job in the 2nd round of drafts than the first ... He needs to stop pussyfootin' around in the 1st round and move up to get a quality player like he did in the recent draft for Oly.
No excuses now to not move up for that key pick with all the ammonition in the bunker ... The Oly move should be standard operating proceedure for the time being.

The West Virginia Secondary Schools Activities Commission has voided all wins by the Elkins High School football team this season because a player has been deemed ineligible, officials said.
Randolph County Superintendent of Schools Dr. James Phares said the decision by the WVSSAC was brought to his attention Wednesday after a neighboring county filed a complaint. The complaint was reviewed by the WVSSAC on Tuesday.
"The WVSSAC will be voiding all wins by the team this year," Phares said. "There will be implications in AA and AAA rankings."
Phares said the players on the team will be notified at today's practice by the coaches and EHS Principal David Fincham.
"I know the community got behind this football team and it is going to be devastating to a lot of people," Phares said. "We are going to investigate the matter fully."

Update: To add more fuel to the fire, http://scrawlfx.com/2010/04/ubisoft-support-lists-splinter-cell-conviction-for-ps3 has now uncovered a http://ubisoft-en.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/ubisoft_en.cfg/php/enduser/std_alp.php?p_sid=owW6FNZj&p_lva=&p_li=&p_accessibility=0&p_redirect=&p_page=1&p_cv=&p_pv=2.1861&p_prods=1483%2C1861&p_cats=0&p_hidden_prods=&prod_lvl1=1483&prod_lvl2=1861&cat_lvl1=0&p_search_text=&srch_btn_submit=%C2%A0%C2%A0%C2%A0Search%C2%A0%C2%A0%C2%A0&p_new_search=1&p_search_type=answers.search_nl for Splinter Cell: Conviction in the Ubisoft Support center.
Since last year Ubisoft has been stating that they have no plans for a PS3 version of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction, but now contradictory images are turning up in a Blockbuster Video ad and from Swedish retailer Game giving fans hope the XBox 360 exclusive is no more.
To quote: "Look at the scan below, although could be a typo, it shows a number of games and movies with the dates and times they'll be available, but what caught my attention was the Splinter Cell: Conviction listing that also lists PS3 as one of the platforms.
It's also listed as available on February 23rd, the date it was supposed to be released before Ubisoft abruptly postponed it to a later date. Does Blockbuster know something we don't?"
Additionally, Kroogah from http://www.ps3info.pl/forum/index.php?/topic/25539-splinter-cell-conviction-jednak-na-ps3/ and Chrisma from http://polygamia.pl/Polygamia/1,96455,7586591,Nadchodzace_premiery__22_02___28_02__w_deszczu_strugach.html stated the following, to quote roughly translated:
"In the Swedish retail chain Game is officially ordered Splinter Cell Conviction for PS3. Here (below) is the photo shop of the exhibition. Employees reportedly swear that is the official info and take orders."
Finally, the title is currently slated for release in North America on April 13, Europe and Australia on April 15, and Japan on April 28, 2010.

good shoe
January 9, 2014
They arrived about 5 days early. Super easy to walk in, but not the most comfortable shoe. I wear a size 9.5 and ordered the 9 but they are still a little large, so I can wear thick fuzzy socks in them which comes in handy for both comfort and warmth during winter. Great starter shoe if you're thinking about buying the Jeffrey Campbell litas.

Just got them! The black material is very solid, good grips on the bottom, pretty comfy fit, but the heel isn't brown its more of dark grey. Still super cute shoes though.
Pros:Comfy, adjustable, stylish, good price
Cons:Slightly misleading picture of heel

A bit Mislead
May 14, 2013
Looking at the picture for the shoes I thought the heel was a dark brown color. They are actually a greyish kind of color. Other than that I like them and they run true to size. I ordered an 8 and they fit perfectly.

Great shoes!
April 12, 2013
Love these shoes, got them in a 7 perfect fit! I actually like these better then my JC's. The color of the heel matches the overall look of the shoe more and JC's make your feet look big, these look smaller. They are also a lot lighter. They are so comfy to walk in, Doesn't even feel like your walking in heels. I can walk for hours with no problem. I Definitely recommend them!

The anti-Morris Trust rules do not operate in Canada. That's the bottom line of a recent court ruling involving a complex reorganization transaction that eventually garnered favorable tax treatment for the parent company.
In the United States, the anti-Morris Trust rules, which can be found in Section 355(e) of the Internal Revenue Code, govern parent-company spin-off transactions with regard to tax treatment. In general, the rules state that an otherwise tax-free stock distribution by a parent company of a controlled subsidiary is taxable at the parent-company level if the distribution is part of a plan (or series of related transactions) in which the following is true: one or more persons acquires stock representing a 50% or greater interest in either the distributing corporation, the controlled subsidiary, or any successor company.
The rules are a bit different in Canada, however, where if the transaction is classified as an amalgamation, it may qualify for tax-free treatment. The example case laid out below is based on the finding in Husky Oil Ltd. v. Her Majesty The Queen, 2010 FCA 125 (FCA 2010). Since the case is complicated, the steps are broken down into bullet points.
• MuCorp owns all the stock of Lambda Corp. MuCorp's ownership structure is as follows: Mr. Sigma owns 42% of the company, the public owns 35%, and Beta Corp. owns 23%. All of the companies are taxable Canadian corporations.
• H Corp., also a taxable Canadian corporation, expresses an interest in acquiring the stock of MuCorp, but does not want to acquire Lambda.
• However, Beta is interested in acquiring Lambda, and both goals are accomplished through a complicated series of transactions that are ruled to be tax-free to MuCorp.
• The fundamental transaction went as follows. The shares of MuCorp owned by Beta had a value of $20,693,436. The Lambda stock owned by MuCorp was valued at $15,500,000. Through a series of transactions, Beta's stock in MuCorp was, in effect, "redeemed" for the balance — $5,193,436 in cash — plus all the shares of Lambda owned by MuCorp.
• H Corp. initiated a tender offer for all of the MuCorp stock owned by shareholders other than Beta. The tender offer was successful, and H Corp. acquired direct control of MuCorp. Accordingly, each member of the H Corp. group became related to each member of the MuCorp group.
• Beta then "sold" all of its MuCorp shares to H Corp. for cash, a note, and common shares of H Corp.
• MuCorp and Beta entered into an agreement for amalgamation, while Lambda and a subsidiary of Beta, 347 Corp., were amalgamated in a transaction that was subject to the Canadian Income Tax Act's subsection 87(4). The resulting corporation was named LA.
• Before the amalgamation, Beta owned all the stock of 347, and MuCorp owned all the stock of Lambda. After the amalgamation, Beta owned one common share of LA, and MuCorp owned 15,500,000 shares of LA's preferred stock.

(Gr. katatome; i.e., "mutilation"), a term used by Paul contemptuously of those who were zealots for circumcision (Phil. 3:2). Instead of the warning, "Beware of the circumcision" (peritome) i.e., of the party who pressed on Gentile converts the necessity of still observing that ordinance, he says, "Beware of the concision;" as much as to say, "This circumcision which they vaunt of is in Christ only as the gashings and mutilations of idolatrous heathen."

Anita's Antiques in downtown Mineral Wells, has closed its doors forever.
"It has been a great ride," said owner Anita Powell. "We have met such wonderful people along the way. Our thanks to all of you for making Anita's Antiques a success. "We have closed the store after 17 years at this one place. I can't think of a better location to have been in business in. We have been in the antique business for 28 years in this area and it has been great."
Buddy and Anita Powell, local artists and antique dealers, have spent the last 32 years of their lives in Mineral Wells. The city has been more than a home for the couple. It is a way of life and love. Buddy was with the City of Mineral Wells until his retirement 15 years ago. Since then he has been active helping Anita manage the antique store.
Being artists meant much travel. And they did. Anita went to many shows by herself. Buddy would go as he could. Sometimes he would catch up as time allowed. They traveled all over the state. "On the road" was what had to happen.
At a "sell out" show in a nearby town, they were asked if they would like to display paintings in a local antique mall.
Thinking about the hours and miles on the road, Anita said they would like to try it. The deal was, even though the paintings were nostalgic in content, there would have to be an offset of one antique to go with each piece of art.
No biggie for Anita. Just a couple of yard sales and an estate sale or two and she had her antiques. Now, you must remember that was 28 years ago, and before "Roadshow."
The antiques sold fast. That was a good thing. So back to more yard sales. There was some great stuff, merchandise then. Good stuff. She would give a quarter for an old oil lamp and sell it for $5. Great turn over. The lamp would have been worth $35 to $100 She didn't know. But she was finding out as she went. Antiquing was on the way.
The paintings in the antique stores sold well also. They always have.
Buddy and Anita painted a large picture of the Baker Hotel and have been blessed by the many sales of the prints of it.
At first they were in the Wynnwood Antique Mall in Mineral Wells as soon as it opened. Anita found the work of antiquing to be an adventure and she loved it. She was still doing art shows, auctions and sales. Later they moved into their own antique store down town. That was about 17 years ago.
The adventure of antiquing has been more special than Anita would have ever thought it could. Old "stuff" has always been a way of life for this couple.
New memories were made each day as old memories were shared. Love abounded. Hugs happened often.
At times Anita would be a short distance away from the customers and hear one say something like, "my Grandma had one of these." And tell of the memories that it had stirred in their heart. Like the wire hook chicken catcher. Fishing lures were fun. Or the old non-electric curling iron and hair curlers. The kitchen items could bring a memory to a man or woman with a laugh and a tear.
Anita says she has swapped stories and memories with many, many people. She has laughed and cried with many of the people over things of the past or held hands and prayed about the right now happenings, too.
They have been asked about "what are you going to do when you get all closed?" That's hard to answer. "I think I will take up skydiving," Anita said jokingly – perhaps.
Anita says a big "thank you" to all the great people she has met and a "God bless and keep you all, ya'll".
She said it has been a "God thing from the start, and you all have helped make it happen."
"It has been a wonderful time. Now it is time to go home. I have lost my building lease. No, I don't own it. That's OK. We are ready to hang it up anyway. We have sold it all to another person."
If there were a way to say a bigger "thank you" to the wonderful people who made it all worthwhile, she would do it.
"We are home now," she said. "So honk or holler as you go by. Or slow down a bit and we can remember together. God bless you and I miss you."

I bought one of these about a month ago on clearance at CompUSA for $60.
It's not bad, but not great either. It's biggest problem is that it uses an ANALOG dial for tuning the FM frequency. During normal usage, bumps in the road would cause the analog dial to drift ever so slighty, causing static to creep in.
The unit often had a low but audible level of static regardless of station tuning, but the dial is so sensitive that it drifts very easily.
For me, this was just too much to bear, as I had to adjust the dial quite often.
So the TransPod was returned and I got an iTrip instead. Only purchase this from a place with a liberal return policy, otherwise you might be in for a big disappointment.
Posted by Mike on July 24, 2003 at 12:13 PM (PDT)
Does anyone know when the new Transpod for the 3G iPods will release? Will the new one fix all of these ANALOG problems?
Posted by Ryan on September 17, 2003 at 6:24 PM (PDT)
That is the same question i have been hunting for. I would prefer the new transpod for the 3G ipod but i want the fm transmitter to be just as good as the itrip, otherwise i will opt to get teh itrip instead. The transpod 3g is being sold on special order for 99.99 starting Dec. 17th. The dial seems to show a digital tuning. Anyways here is the link to see it for yourself and if you have any more informatoin or test this product out PLEASE let mek now how it compares to the itrip in quality of sound. THANK YOU (i am including the direct link) if it does not work just find it through [url=http://www.netalog.com]http://www.netalog.com[/url]
Posted by Arjun on December 14, 2003 at 7:03 AM (PDT)
Just got my Transpod for the 3G iPod today. It's still early, but here are my first impressons:
I like the look and fit of the cradle. It holds my 40 nicely, and it comes with nice, soft adhesive pads to adjust for the 10, 20 and 30 GB models.
The articulating arm that holds it in the cigarette lighter is sturdy and very adaptable. I wish that DLO had used white screws instead of black ones, but that's a minor gripe. Once the Transpod was plugged into the cigarette lighter I was a little disappointed with the overall stability. The whole thing swings too far from side to side for my taste. It seems to be more a by product of the inherent looseness of the cigarett lighter, though. It was dark when I installed it, and I need to take a closer look at it this weekend. I will report back with any news on the stability issue.
In my short (20 minute) ride home from work tonight the FM modulator appeared to work flawlessly. I own a Griffin iTrip, and I;m not sure about this yet but the digital modulator on the Transpod seems to work as good as, if not better than the iTrip. It's still early, though, and only time will tell. In any event, the thing that I like better about the Transpod is that, because it is plugged into the lighter, and the modulator is already powered up, my iPod starts broadcasting immediately when I press play. With the iTrip, it can take up to 5 or 10 seconds to kick in. That's important if you're in the middle of an audio book.
I like the styling, the ability to charge without cords and the FM modulator on the Transpod. But I am somewhat concerned about the stability issue, and I hope that I can get it resolved.
I will report back as I gather more info.
Posted by rdlink in Denver on January 21, 2004 at 8:09 PM (PDT)
I just bought the Transpod for my 3G.
I strongly dislike this product.
I was initially excited; I get to listen to my iPod in my new Infiniti G35! The G has a 12V electric outlet on the right side of the dash next to the passenger seat, perfect for my Transpod. Opening the packaging, I was slightly disappointed at the bulkiness of the holder unit and the charging arm. Plugging the charging arm into the outlet proved to be a chore, as the conductor prods on the charging arm are quite large (I am assuming that�s because they will hold the iPod steady). After getting the post plugged in, I went to loosen the swivel mount on the back of the holder unit. The swivel extension and charging arm must be adjusted by wing screws and hex nuts. Unfortunately, the wing screws are just barley long enough to fit into the hex nuts when tightened, so if you loosen the screws too much, Oops! There goes the hex nut down between the seats! Why didn�t they include locking hex nuts? After getting it all put together, the hulking unit was up and ready for my �pod. I plugged in the iPod, found an empty radio station, and tuned the Transpod to that station. What crappy sound! Static interference and poor quality. Tried another station, same thing. Adjusted the tone settings on my ipod and radio, not much better. This is my first radio transmitter, but I would expect something to compete with the quality of the good radio stations here in Seattle. Not a chance. Even public radio has far better sound quality than the Transpod. After a minute of driving, the Transpod started to swivel around inside the electric outlet. Not very stable at all. Very Disappointing. If you hit a pothole with this thing, watch out!
I would not be so critical if it wasn�t for the price, but this damn thing cost $100!!! Where is the quality here?!? Disagree with me if you want, but for $100, I would expect something more than what I got here.
This product is a great idea, but it needs improvements in every area.
Pros: Puts everything you want into one package. All radio frequencies are covered.
Cons: Needs improvement in every aspect of the product to justify the STEEP price.
1. Make the holder unit slimmer and not so bulky.
2. Make the wing screws and hex nuts locking so the don�t fall out
3. Lower the price
4. Power up the juice on the radio transmitter. There is plenty of power coming out of the electric outlet to do this.

OK. One "yeah" one "nay" on the sound quality. Any other comments?

New Transpod II FM was recommended by a salesperson at Apple store.
I am more than happy with it so far. It has a nice digital readout for the FM freq. Frequency range is the full FM spectrum. I found the frequency that works around Philadelphia easily. The holder works in my Jeep 2003 Wrangler pretty well but the extra accessory plug is a nice touch. My headphone controls work to skip and pause. The quality is very good and only get a slight hiss during pauses that can be fixed if I readjust the location of the ipod.

The FM transmitter didn't work at all in my cars (unless I didn't drive anywhere). The cool thing about this is that you don't have to stick anything to your dash to hold the ipod and no wires.. Too bad it doesn't work. Don't waste your money.

The Transpod just arrived today. Only used on a couple short trips but so far it has worked well - no problem yet with FM reception or mounting. You do have to make sure you don't unscrew the wing screws too far. Also it would be nice if you could swivel the unit right/left to get the proper angle on the face (it looks like you can do this with the extension but with that also attached the thing is starting to look obscenely long).
So far I'm quite happy.

I bought the Transpod II for my 40GB iPod at the Apple store in Atlanta. It took a little wrangling, but I got the arm angles all worked out and installed the thing in my 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Track.
I LOVE the Transpod II. It puts the iPod right at my hand, with no cables getting tangled. I love that I can drop my iPod in the cradle quickly even on short trips. With my Belken FM transmitter, it was such a hassle, I on'y bothered if I would be in the car for at least 30 minutes.
Comparing the FM signal quality to the Belkin Tunecast II, I can say that the Transpod wins hands down. There simply isn't a comparison. I would get fades and noise with my Belkin, but I never have signal loss with my Transpod.
I also like that the Transpod uses the line-out signal from the iPod, rather than the headphone jack. Consistent audio levels are the result.
I paid ~$50 for the Belkin, and would have had to purchase a car charger for the iPod to get the same functionality at the Transpod, so the price is very competitive when you consider that.

i hate the Transpod FM. I paid 100 and i feel riped off.
The sound quality is crappy. You hear a static and a hiss noise. that "hiss" will not go away. Your music plays over the "hiss" noise so u dont really notice it but it brings dont the quality of the sound. It also is annoying whenever u press pause.
Save your money and dont buy any FM transmitter.

I recently bought the Griffin iTrip and couldn't get a clear signal at all. What would start as a clear signal would turn to hiss within a few miles of driving. I also have XM satellite radio in my car, using an FM transmitter and it plays crystal clear so I figured the signal from the iTrip just wasn't strong enough. So I went back to the Apple store and decided to try the Transpod. As it gets power from the cigarette lighter, rather than the iPod, I figured the signal would be stronger. After a few trips I think I was right. Occasionally, I'll get a slight hiss, but not bad. Overall I think the sound is much better than with the iTrip, and it is much easier to change stations.
A couple of problems I'm having with it though. I can't really find a convenient place to put it, and it doesn't stay put with the mounting arm. Although, as others have mentioned this seems to be a function of the cigarette lighter being loose.
Second, and the biggest thing, with the car off and the Transpod plugged into the cigarette lighter, the digital display is still on and lit up. Is there a way to turn this off? I don't want to have to take out of the lighter every time I get out of the car. Will this drain the battery? Has anyone else experienced this?

Interesting comments. I'm about to buy a Transpod 3G for my new 20gig, will let you know how it goes.
John, that's probably due to your car. In many cars, power to the accessories (eg. cigarette lighter) is cut when you take the key out of the ignition. It seems your car keeps power connected to the cigarette lighter even with no key. I don't know how much the thing uses so I really can't comment on whether it would drain your battery. Probably a good idea to take it out when not using it .

I bought the Transpod for a cross country trip from New York to California. I think I adjusted the station once somewhere between mile 1 and mile 3000. This Transpod works beautifully! No charging needed after use and the sound seemed as good as my CDs.
I have no complaints and think the $100 is absolutely worth it if you spend a lot of time in the car and are tired of changing CDs.
Perhaps the reason for other people's troubles with the product is the transmittor in relation to their car's antenna or some other connection. But it truly works flawlessly for me.

I got one of the new Transpods for a 3g ipod and I would have to say it is much nicer. It has a digital dial so that analog drifting is eliminated. It also has a car mount kit so it can be positioned anywhere. Sound quality is better than any other FM transmitter I have had. Cost me about $100.00 from CompUSA.
Posted by redbuda on April 29, 2004 at 6:49 AM (PDT)
so far so so , i really wanted this product to work but the hiss is driving me crazy and in the end i end up just popping in a cd ,maybe the new york metro area is not so great for this item
Posted by jason on May 24, 2004 at 4:54 AM (PDT)
Sound quality is better than itrip but not as good as my cassette adapter. Itrip had difficulty transmitting to my rear mounted antenna. Design frees-up headphone jack for remote and/or cassette adapter. Mounting package works well in my Passat.
Posted by Russ on May 26, 2004 at 1:54 PM (PDT)
Fits nicely in a New Beetle in the lighter between the two front seats. Overall I've been very pleased.
But one thing is starting to drive me nuts. Half of the songs played through the TransPod (3G) have an annoying harsh static sound when the singer pronounces an "S" sound. Changing stations doesn't help, equalizer changes don't help, treble and bass settings on the car stereo don't seem to help, and the harsh static sound doesn't show up when using the headphones. Sounds like a funny problem, but it's a lot of static to deal with when you consider how many times the "S" sound comes up in a song. Anyone else experiencing this or have a suggested solution?
Posted by Andy Johnson on June 4, 2004 at 6:37 PM (PDT)
The TransPod 3G is great... Drove it from NY to Boston and only had to adjust the transmit station once. Way better than anything Belkin makes. One drawback...look closely at the distance relationship between your cigarette lighter adapter and the gearshift..if they are close, gettting the Transpod in could be a bit of a problem. My Nissan Maxima has the gearshift on the center console and the transpod needed some "fiddling". My wife's Ford Explorer has the gearshift on the column and the Transpod fits in perfect. I love this thing...if you lease cars or swap cars alot and can't do a hard wire install...spend the $100.

FINALLY! I love this product. I am a bit of an efficiency freak and went out and tried all the modulators I could get my hands on-- the itrip, the monster cable and belkin fm modulators. This blows them all out of the water. You just drop in your ipod and go. It even remembers the last station you were on when the car turned off. Changing the frequency is a breeze, easy to read even while driving.
The cables for the other ones were all over the place, and frustrating to plug in for a short errand hop. Also, switching my iopd from car to car was annoying. As for stabillity, once I adjusted the arm to be at a slight angle, not just straight upright, it was fine-- even around sharp turns.
The TransPod3G is truly plug and play. I get no hiss (I live in metropolitan Washington DC), the sound quality is far greater than that of the others, plus the dock and arms look cool- reminds me of the Star Wars troopers.
My only complaint is that you can not have a protective skin on the ipod as the dock is too narrow. But that aside, this is a highly efficient, rockin' product!

Representatives of the Short Corridor Collective at Pelican Bay State Prison's Security Housing Unit have based their decision on a meeting with fellow prisoners at the prison, the growing international condemnation of California's practice of solitary confinement, as well as the commitment of California Senate and Assembly Public Safety Committee Chairs Loni Hancock and Tom Ammiano to convene a series of hearings in response to the strikers' demands that would "address the issues that have been raised to a point where they can no longer be ignored."
September 12, 2012
Prisoners in Pelican Bay's SHU have announced a push to end all hostilities between racial groups within California's prisons and jails. The handwritten announcement, sent to prison advocacy organizations, is signed by the PBSP-SHU Short Corridor Collective. The statement calls for the cessation of all hostilities between groups to commence Oct. 10, 2012, in all California prisons and county jails. It also calls on prisoners throughout the state to set aside their differences and use diplomatic means to settle their disputes.

Ottawa Jazz Festival 2008: Days 1-3, June 20-22, 2008
Jazz at Lincoln Center with Wynton Marsalis
Cosmos /Harris Eisenstadt / Iro Haarla
TD Canada Trust Ottawa International Jazz Festival
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
June 20-22, 2008
In the days leading up to the 2008 TD Canada Trust Ottawa International Jazz Festival, the forecast was: rain, rain, rain and more rain, not a good situation for a festival that, while running a number of series at indoor venues, places its biggest acts on its main outdoor stage at Ottawa's Confederation Park. Thankfully, at least for the first two days, fortune was with the festival, with warm, clear and summery conditions kicking the festival off in high gear.
At the 2007 festival the best shows were to be found offsite at the indoor series including the late afternoon Connoisseur Series at Library and Archives Canada, the early evening Improv Series at the National Arts Centre's Fourth Stage and the late night Studio Series at the NAC Studionot to mention local bassist John Geggie keeping the even later night jam sessions exciting. This year's main stage program, however, is unusually strong and consistent, with something for everyonebig band repertoire with Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra (LCJO), Buddy DeFranco's small group swing, Charlie Haden's noir-centric Quartet West and mainstream piano trio excursions are only four of the festival's top shows.
But it's the trio of pianists Herbie Hancock, bringing his River: The Joni Letters (Verve, 2008) to town for one of only two Canadian dates; Chick Corea, whose electrically charged Return to Forever reunion tour has already been thrilling audiences in the United States; and Brad Mehldau, who follows up his 2006 trio performance at Library and Archives Canada with a return to the main stage, that will likely prove to be this year's biggest draws.
Still, there are plenty of exceptional shows programmed in the indoor series, most notably Finnish pianist/harpist Iro Haarla, who brings her quintet to the Improv Series to perform the music from the outstanding Northbound (ECM, 2006), the reed triptych of Tim Berne, Lotte Anker and Chris Speed, also at the Improv, bassist Renaud Garcia-Fons and drummer Harris Eisenstadt's Toronto Quartet at the Connoisseur Series, drummer Joel Haynes and the Davidson/Braid/Murley Quintet at the Studio Series and the remarkable Nordic Connect at the Great Canadian Jazz Series (at Confederation Park, held before each evening's headliner).
Plus, of course, there are always the surprisesgroups little known or unknown, who manage to turn into sleeper hits for the festival. 2008 is a strong year and, in a time when most jazz festivals have to acknowledge the need to diversify to bring in a larger audience, while there are some deviations (but good ones, like Mali's Salif Keita), the festival remains surprisingly pure. It's jazz of a broad spectrum, but it remains undeniably a jazz festival.

June 20: Jazz at Lincoln Center with Wynton Marsalis
Trumpeter Wynton Marsalis may be one of jazz's most visible spokespersons, but he's also one of its most controversiala dividing line between a reductionist view of jazz and a broader, more all-inclusive definition. Outspoken and opinionated, mention Marsalis at any online jazz bulletin board and watch it heat up.
But forget about whether or not jazz is an American art form or if the inclusion of cultural influences from farther abroad are strengthening or diluting it. Marsalis is still a powerful technician and soloist, inventive arranger, democratic bandleader and engaging stage presence. But while the trumpeter did do all the introductions, in many ways he was just another member of the fifteen-piece big band, sitting with the trumpet section in the back row and drawing attention to himself only when speaking, which he did eloquently, or playing, which he did with precision and clarity.
With a crowd of 9,000 happy to be there (and in good weather), LCJO put on a set that was like a history of American jazz. Reaching back to the earlier part of the 20th century with a little New Orleans Dixie, the band most often stayed firmly in the center of the mainstream jazz tradition with material ranging from John Coltrane's "Giant Steps" and Joe Henderson's "Inner Urge" to a particularly beautiful take of Billy Strayhorn's "A Flower is a Lovesome Thing," Lee Morgan's "Ceora" and Jackie McLean's "Appointment in Ghana." LCJO may not be a progressive big band that's pushing the tradition forward, but nor is it a museum piece, concerned only with faithful recreation. The arrangements were sharp, the solo space plentiful and the groove swinging and irresistible.
Jazz at Lincoln Center with Wynton Marsalis
It's hard to beat a band that features players like reed players Ted Nashlast seen in Ottawa in 2006 as part of local bassist John Geggie's annual concert seriesJoe Temperley, whose baritone work was especially thrilling, and Victor Goines, whose tenor solo towards the end of the LCJO's nearly two-hour set was equally energizing. Marsalis wasn't alone as a standout in the trumpet section eitherRyan Kisor delivered his own distinctive solos that placed Marsalis in sharp contrast. Drummer Ali Jackson was the perfect blend of restraint and extroverted push, texturally painting "Ceora" but swinging hard on "Giant Steps."
There are those who are quick to dismiss Marsalis, based on his own view on jazz advocacy, but there's no denying the vibrant relevance of his playinginside and outside the context of LCJO. When the music's this compelling, it's hard not to put aside personal issues with Marsalis' view of what jazz is, was and should be. When the music's this goodas the majority of the audience at Confederation Park, rising to their feet at the end of the set to demand an encore, would attestthe best thing to do is forget about thinking and just kick back and enjoy.
class="f-right s-img">Return to Index...
Following a light but substantive mainstream set from clarinetist Buddy DeFranco at Confederation Park that featured three of Canada's finest (who make regular stops at the OIJF)pianist Bernie Senensky, bassist Neil Swainson and veteran drummer Terry Clarkewith the added surprise of impressive guitarist Joe Cohn, six- piece a capella vocal group Cosmos delivered a performance at the 10:30 PM Studio Series that may be an early runner for one of the festival's sleeper hits.
Then again, sleeper hit sometimes implies a less than substantial crowd, and the Studio was not just completely sold out, the festival had to turn people away. Hailing from Latvia, it was clear that the local embassy had done its job to let the Latvian community know about the show.
Ranging from 22 to 28 years old, the members of Cosmos may have looked like a boy bandand had the choreography and dress to go along with itbut they were all talented vocalists who comfortably married a pop sensibility with classical training, folk music and the subtlest hint of jazz harmonies. With Reinis Sejans providing a contemporary pulse through most of the set with his uncanny array of vocal percussionand a crowd-pleasing Michael Jackson dance impersonation during the group's encore, the classic hit "Billie Jean"- -Cosmos may not be a jazz act, but it didn't matter to the enthusiastic crowd.
Tenor Juris Lisenko acted as the group's primary voiceand spokesperson, introducing many of the songs- -but everyone had their moment in the spotlight, notably bass Jonis Strazdins, who led the group on a lighthearted but impressive arrangement of Bobby McFerrin's hit, "Don't Worry Be Happy." The majority of the set was, in fact, largely spirited and aimed at entertaining the crowd, with a hilariously (and accurately) choreographed version of Genesis' "I Can't Dance" another highlightnot because of its almost iconic familiarity, but because of the remarkable way in which Cosmos adapted not just the musical parts of the original song, but the textures and timbres as well.
Lisenko reminded the audience, more than once, that they were listening to nothing more than human voices (well, with the exception of a jew's harp on one song, Sejans' use of looping on another and the soundman's use of delay and reverb to broaden the sounds of the voices), but it was often hard to believe. Sheer fun may have been the emphasis, but there were also unexpected passages of deep and profound beauty, where the six voices came together for a rich and expansive whole that was equally difficult to accept as the sound of only half a dozen singers.
Ranging from Strazdins' at times near subsonic voice to the piercing falsettos of Janis Sipkevics and Andris Sejans, Cosmos' range seemed limitless. Doo-wop mixing with beatbox; material ranging from original music from Turbulence (Cosmos, 2008) to innovative arrangements of popular pop tunes; it all added up to a show from a group that is already gaining ground in Europe and deserves to find its way to the public's ear in North America as well.

June 22: Harris Eisenstadt Toronto Quartet
He may have moved from his hometown of Toronto to the United States a number of years ago, but drummer Harris Eisenstadt still keeps ties with his Canadian friends. For his afternoon performance at the Connoisseur Series he brought his Toronto Quartetdespite none of the group actually coming from there. Bassist John Geggie is a local fixture on the Ottawa scene, keeping experimental jazz alive and well with his annual concert series at the National Arts Centre's Fourth Stage. Bassoonist Sara Schoenbeck is also US-based, amongst many projects working with composer/woodwind multi- instrumentalist Anthony Braxton, with whom she performed with his 12(tet)+1 at FIMAV in Victoriaville, Quebec in 2007. Baritone saxophonist David Mott is, indeed, the only Toronto resident (the group did have its germination with another Toronto player, cellist Matt Brubeck, who Geggie replaced for the Ottawa performance).
The 85-minute set consisted of seven original compositions, written by Eisenstadt and Mott. Ranging from basic structures that provide a form around which to improvise (Eisenstadt's swinging "Convergence") to brief musical phrases that acted as focal and rallying points for more unfettered free play (Mott's "Phrases"). With a set that began in relative accessibilitythough one of the remarkable aspects to the performance was that regardless how free the territory was, it was more about rounded surfaces than sharp edges, making it entirely approachablethe set gradually took off for more exploratory turf, whichdefined by so many low-end instruments (perhaps the only high frequency range instruments in the group were Eisenstadt's cymbals)was kept remarkably clear and defined in the room by soundman David O'Heare.
Eisenstadt's percussion was textural as he was rhythmic, a small kit with enough diversity on the cymbal front allowing him to evoke a rich variety of colors. But as open-ended as much of the music was, he was equally a part of suggesting soft pulses and more fervent backbeats, as he did later in the set with a riff- driven groove from Mott. If body language helps define how a drummer plays, Eisenstadt is relaxed, often leaning back, but occasionally leaning into the kit with deep concentration. Locked, tongue-in-groove with Geggie who, like Eisenstadt, ran the gamut from anchor to more intimate conversationalist, the drummer's writing was equally diverse, often involving irregular or shifting meters. While a generally freer player, Geggie was at his most Dave Holland-like on the gentle, but persistent groove of "Convergence." Intuitive, Eisenstadt's playing recalls the blend of pulse and color of Barry Altschul; no surprise, given Eisenstadt has studied with him.
Geggie's been growing at a more rapid pace in the past couple of years, and here his increasingly distinctive mix of spare lyricism and more abstract ideation worked particularly well. The quartet normally uses a cellist, and having an instrument with a lower range to compete with Mott's baritone and Schoenberg's bassoon had the potential for getting in each other's way, especially during the freer sections. But the group managed to interact and interrelate in ways that created a lush low-end texture that made the absence of higher register instruments unimportant. Geggie's experience playing with an increasingly impressive list of musicians including Myra Melford, Marilyn Crispell, Cuong Vu, Craig Taborn and Jon Christensen, along with his own studies and a dual career that's gradually blending classical and improvisation/jazz aesthetics into a personal whole, only makes it more important that he get the two records he has in the can out to the public.
Mott, whose focus on baritone has created its own niche that's been a big plus on projects like Jerry Granelli's Sandhills Reunion (Songlines, 2005)also seen with that project at the Ottawa festival in 2006and more mainstream affairs like the Nimmons 'N Nine Now Tribute Band, which will play Ottawa later in the festival on June 29, appeared to be in his preferred element here. From deep, growling bass riffs to more expansive excursions at the high end of his horn, he was part of a trio of low end instruments that seamlessly passed around the role of change-keeper when needed, jumping from a support role to lead voice at the drop of a hat. With a clear history in the tradition that brought a bluesy edge to one of his solos later in the set, it's clear that Mott's reach and inherent and near-immediate chemistry in virtually every situation makes him one of Canada's most eloquent and important saxophonists.
If there was a star of the show, however, it was Schoenbeck. Playing what may be the most difficult instrument on which to improvise, while other bassoonists like Dan Smith are making perhaps a bigger name for themselves to a mainstream audience, Schoenbeck is inarguably the more virtuoso and creative improviser. While opportunities abound in her work with Braxton, in the smaller, more intimate setting of a quartetand especially one with the ability to move organically from form to freedomfrom the audience perspective there was certainly a greater chance to hear what she could do. One of the highlights of the set was during a solo where, singing above her long, rich bassoon lines, it sounded very much like Tuvan throat singing, her voice creating subtle, overtone-like melodies to contrast the lower end of her horn. And while her instrument could be percussive at times, her tone was more often than not, warm and appealing.
Eisenstadt's performance may be one of the more avant-tinged performances to play the Connoisseur Series, and it may well have been a more appropriate group for the Improv Series. But by keeping things accessible even during its most outer-reaching collective improvisations, in no small part due to the attractive blend of the instruments, the Harris Eisenstadt Toronto Quartet put on a show that will undoubtedly go down as one of the best of the series.

Herbie Hancock may have been playing at Confederation Park, and there's little doubt that it impacted the attendance at Finnish pianist/harpist Iro Haarla's opening performance of the Improv Series. The attendance may have been small, and there's no doubt Hancock's show was terrific, but those who were in the audience for Haarla's show with her quintet, playing material largely culled from her outstanding ECM debut as a leader, Northbound (2005), was an artistic triumph of stark beauty, but with some significant differences to the recording.
First, the only other member of the Northbound quintet present was fellow Finn, bassist Uffe Krokfors. Krokfors has been playing with Haarla since their days with her late husband, drummer Edward Vesala and, their ongoing musical relationship has expanded to include other recordings including the somber duet recording Heart of a Bird (Tum, 2003) and the quintet recording Penguin Beguine (Tum, 2005). The Norwegian contingent on Northboundsaxophonist Trygve Seim, trumpeter Mathias Eick and drum legend Jon Christensenwere replaced by an all-Finnish line-up with trumpeter Verneri Pohjola, saxophonist/flautist Kari Heinila and drummer Dri Reino Laine, but within the first minutes of the opening "Yarra, Yarra..." it was clear that, while this quintet had its own approach, Haarla's writing and distinct harmonic approach were what gives any project a distinct identity.
Laine was as capable of Christensen when it came to broad swatches of color, and time implied more than explicit, but equally he swung at times, in ways that the Norwegian drummer seems to have abandoned. Krokfors' bass tone was visceral, and his control and technique remarkable. As a rhythm partner with Laine he was both empathic and suggestive, using pedal tones to create tension during solos from his band mates, but it was his solos that were amongst the highlights of the set. Capable of deep melodiousness, he used subtle extended techniques to draw out unexpected sounds. Krokfors first emerged in his early twenties with Vesala, and went on to become a member of Krakatou with Scorch Trio guitarist Raoul Bjorkenheim, recording a number of discs for ECM. Here, however, in many ways he was at his best, with Haarla's writing allowing maximum flexibility within her often cued thematic passages.
Freedom comes in many forms, and it needn't be harsh or angular. While Pohjola in particular delivered a series of dazzling solos, with a remarkable embouchure that permitted him to radically change the timbre of his horn within a single phrase, sometimes even a single breath, Haarla's piano accompaniment was far from conventional. Jazz it is, but her harmonic conception is her own, steeped in ambiguity and implication and avoidant of any of the trappings of orthodoxy. Her classical training and the folk music of Finland inform her music and her playing as well. If Vesala's music was often aggressively turbulent, a maelstrom of whirling lines and colors, Haarla's is more gentle, but turbulent nevertheless. And with a more powerful rhythm section, the dynamics of the performance were even broader than those heard on Northbound.
Heinila was an intriguing saxophonist, capable of a sharp edge but often playing at a near-whisper. Haarla's composed lines for the saxophonist and Pohjola, whose interpretation sometimes blurred the lines between structure and nuanced exploration, intertwined in truly unique ways, often slow, almost languid but never weak. When he turned to flute at the opening of the second of two 45-minute sets for Northbound's opening, "Avian Kingdom," it brought a lighter texture to the piece than the original, which featured Trygve Seim on saxophone. The temporal elasticity and unpredictable hand-off of composed melody to improvisation made for a sound that was almost other-worldly or, at least, music that simply could not be created without the stark and sometimes somber beauty of the Finnish landscape.
Haarla, as a pianist, drew comparisons to Carla Bleynot in her style, which in its classically-informed, often unresolved harmonic ambiguity, bore no resemblance whatsoever, but in her minimalist approach that favored thoughtful suggestion over direct explication. Her solos were abstract, but always based in melodic development and construct.
Finding a good harp is, according to Haarla, a challenge in almost any city, but the Ottawa festival managed to find a beautiful instrument and, thanks to some innovative miking and the use of a double-bass pickup by the Fourth Stage's soundmen, the small Ottawa audience was able to hear an instrument as rare in jazz as Sara Schoenbeck's bassoon at the Connoisseur Series performance earlier in the day. From sustaining cascades to soft, gently plucked melodies, Haarla on harpespecially at one point, where she was in duet with Krokforscreated an evocative canvass that, along with performances of her quintet, left an impression that may have been experienced by few, but will no doubt be heard about by many.
