It's less than a week from Veteran's Day. The day we honor the men and women who have worn or are wearing the uniform and defend our freedom every day. A number of restaurants are saying thank you by offering free or discounted meals.
For the past few years many big retail stores have shifted a lot of their big sales from Black Friday to the evening of Thanksgiving. This has led to earlier dinners and less quality time spent with family. After all, that is the whole idea of the Thanksgiving holiday, right? Two big name retailers are refusing to open their doors on November 26th with the hope that people will spend more time with their loved ones.
The Rome Rescue Mission is asking Central New York for help with providing Holiday meals to those less fortunate. The Mission is in need of 500 Turkeys this Thanksgiving. Here's other food items they are in need of, and how to help.
It's the Winter Weather Advisory we fear the most, sleet and freezing rain. It not only makes for hazardous travel, but the threat of downed power lines and power outages. Click for the details on when and where.
If you're household is like ours, you've got a fridge full of Thanksgiving leftovers. You can have turkey sandwiches and nuke up the mash potatoes, but if you're looking for something else to do with those leftovers, let Chef Emeril Lagasse help.
As you know, today is "Black Friday", the official start of Christmas shopping and the busiest shoppding day of the year. But why do they call it "Black Friday"? I don't ever hearing that term when I was growing up in Utica.
Thanksgiving is creeping up on us quicker than the time it takes to finish your first helping and delve into seconds.

The History and Geography of Inventions. The tables below are divided by era.
Oliver Cromwell. Oliver Cromwell (25 April 1599 – 3 September 1658)[N 1] was an English military and political leader and later Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England, Scotland and Ireland.
Cromwell was one of the signatories of King Charles I's death warrant in 1649, and, as a member of the Rump Parliament (1649–53), he dominated the short-lived Commonwealth of England. He was selected to take command of the English campaign in Ireland in 1649–50. Cromwell's forces defeated the Confederate and Royalist coalition in Ireland and occupied the country – bringing to an end the Irish Confederate Wars. During this period a series of Penal Laws were passed against Roman Catholics (a significant minority in England and Scotland but the vast majority in Ireland), and a substantial amount of their land was confiscated. Cromwell also led a campaign against the Scottish army between 1650 and 1651. Early years[edit] Marriage and family[edit] Crisis and recovery[edit] Oliver Cromwell's house in Ely. Timelines of History.
Kublai Khan. Epicurus. Epicurus (/ˌɛpɪˈkjʊərəs/ or /ˌɛpɪˈkjɔːrəs/;[2] Greek: Ἐπίκουρος, Epíkouros, "ally, comrade"; 341–270 BC) was an ancient Greek philosopher as well as the founder of the school of philosophy called Epicureanism.
Only a few fragments and letters of Epicurus's 300 written works remain. Much of what is known about Epicurean philosophy derives from later followers and commentators. Ichthyosaur. Ichthyosaurs (Greek for "fish lizard" - ιχθυς or ichthys meaning "fish" and σαυρος or sauros meaning "lizard") were large marine reptiles.
Ichthyosaurs belong to the order known as Ichthyosauria or Ichthyopterygia ('fish flippers' - a designation introduced by Sir Richard Owen in 1840, although the term is now used more for the parent clade of the Ichthyosauria). Science became aware of the existence of ichthyosaurs, during the early nineteenth century when the first complete skeletons were found in England. In 1834, the order Ichthyosauria was named. Later that century, many excellently preserved ichthyosaur fossils were discovered in Germany, including soft tissue remains. Since the late twentieth century there has been a revived interest in the group leading to an increased number of named ichthyosaurs from all continents, over fifty valid genera being now known. Ichthyosaur species varied from one to over sixteen metres in length. Home - TimeSearch. Germanic peoples. The Germanic peoples (also called Teutonic, Suebian or Gothic in older literature) are[1] an Indo-European ethno-linguistic group of Northern European origin, identified by their use of the Germanic languages which diversified out of Proto-Germanic starting during the Pre-Roman Iron Age.[2] The term "Germanic" originated in classical times, when groups of tribes were referred to using this term by Roman authors.
For them, the term was not necessarily based upon language, but rather referred to tribal groups and alliances who were considered less civilized, and more physically hardened, than the Celtic Gauls living in the region of modern France. North Germanic languages. The North Germanic languages make up one of the three branches of the Germanic languages, a sub-family of the Indo-European languages, along with the West Germanic languages and the extinct East Germanic languages.
The language group is sometimes referred to as the Nordic languages, a direct translation of the most common term used among Danish, Swedish and Norwegian scholars and laypeople. In Scandinavia, the term Scandinavian languages refers specifically to the mutually intelligible languages of the three Scandinavian countries and is thus used in a more narrow sense as a subset of the Nordic languages, leaving aside the insular subset of Faroese and Icelandic. The term Scandinavian arose in the 18th century as a result of the early linguistic and cultural Scandinavist movement, referring to the people, cultures, and languages of the three Scandinavian countries and stressing their common heritage. Japanese mythology. Japanese myths, as generally recognized in the mainstream today, are based on the Kojiki, the Nihon Shoki, and some complementary books.
The Kojiki, or "Record of Ancient Matters", is the oldest surviving account of Japan's myths, legends and history. The Shintōshū describes the origins of Japanese deities from a Buddhist perspective, while the Hotsuma Tsutae records a substantially different version of the mythology. Elysium. Elysium or the Elysian Fields (Ancient Greek: Ἠλύσιον πεδίον, Ēlýsion pedíon) is a conception of the afterlife that developed over time and was maintained by certain Greek religious and philosophical sects and cults.
Initially separate from the realm of Hades, admission was reserved for mortals related to the gods and other heroes. Later, it expanded to include those chosen by the gods, the righteous, and the heroic, where they would remain after death, to live a blessed and happy life, and indulging in whatever employment they had enjoyed in life.[1][2][3][4][5][6] The ruler of Elysium varies from author to author: Pindar and Hesiod name Cronus as the ruler,[9] while the poet Homer in the Odyssey describes fair-haired Rhadamanthus dwelling there.[6][7][10][11] Classical literature[edit]

Tips to improve pronunciation skills in english!
There are no shortcuts to perfect pronunciation, however there are some ways you can practise more effectively and improve your skills faster. Follow our ten top tips, start improving your pronunciation today and take a step closer towards your goal of perfect English pronunciation:
1. Listen to yourself.
It's often difficult to hear pronunciation errors in your own speech because you are concentrating actually communicating rather than the sound you are making. If you can't hear your pronunciation problems, it's tough to correct them. Try recording your speech with your smartphone or PC and making a note of specific areas you need to improve on.
2. Slow down!
Many English learners think that speaking fluently means they need to speak fast. This is wrong. Speaking too fast reinforces bad habits and makes the speaker sound nervous and indecisive. Speaking slowly will give you time to breathe properly and think about what you want to say next. Because it gives you time to think while you are speaking, you'll feel more relaxed and be able to concentrate on making your English sound fantastic.
3. Picture it…
Close your eyes and think about how to make a sound before saying it. Visualize the positioning of your mouth and face. If you have studied with the phonemic chart, think about the sound you are making and how it relates to other English phonemes. If you have used diagrams of the mouth and tongue, think about the shape you need to make inside your mouth if you want to make the sound correctly.
4. Get physical!
Pronunciation is a physical skill. You're teaching your mouth a new way to move and using different muscles. Focus on difficult sounds each day. Having trouble with 'th'? Put your tongue between your teeth (don't bite down) and blow air out of your mouth. Feel the air move over the top of your tongue.
5. Watch yourself.
Stand in front of a mirror to see the placement of your tongue, lips, and shape of your mouth when you make certain sounds. Compare what you see with a video of a native-speaker saying the same thing.
6. Copy the experts.
There's no replacement for learning pronunciation from the experts – native-speakers. So listen! Listen to English radio programs and watch television and movies in English. Imitate what you're hearing – even if you're not sure what they're saying yet.
7. Practice English alone.
Pronunciation problems persist because we're afraid to make mistakes. Create scenarios – meeting someone for the first time, ordering at a restaurant, asking for directions – then act out the dialogue by yourself. Don't be shy
8. Find a language buddy.
Getting feedback from an outside observer is crucial. Find a friend who's also interested in improving their English. Try exchanging recorded messages so you can listen closely to each other's pronunciation.
9. Pay attention to intonation and stress.
Good pronunciation is more than just mastering individual sounds. It's also understanding intonation (the rise and fall of the voice) and stress (some sounds in words and some words in sentences are louder or clearer than others). Read poems, speeches and songs aloud, concentrating on the word stress and intonation.
10. Sing a song!
Learn the words to popular English songs and sing along. Singing helps you relax and just get those words out, as well as helping your rhythm and intonation. Because you don't need to concentrate on constructing sentences for yourself, you can concentrate on making your pronunciation sound great!
Give each of these tips a try next time you have a chance and find out which of them works best for you. Remember, none of them is an instant fix but they will all help you reach your goals as part of regular practice.

3 Ways to Improve your Listening skills!
We've all experienced it. That moment when you have no idea what someone is saying to you. You nod and smile until they ask you a question.
Then you have no choice but to admit it… you're completely lost!
Or maybe while you are nodding and smiling you realize the other person has just told you that their dog has died…
These situations are completely normal when you are learning another language :). There are such a variety of accents, enunciations, speeds, volumes, and ways of communicating, that it's normal to miss many things.
In fact, there are probably occasions when you don't understand something in your own language due to one of those factors. The quicker you get used to it the better. Why? Because the more you face these situations the faster your listening skills will improve.
Here are our key ways to improve your listening:
1) Create a habit of listening in English every day.
Even if it is just five minutes a day. There are two ways of listening: Passive listening, where you have the audio or the video on while you are doing other things (walking, driving, working…). This is good for becoming familiar with the sounds and intonation in English.
The other type of listening, active listening, requires your full attention, and you can write down the vocabulary and grammar that you learn from it. You can also write a short summary and your opinion and share it with someone else. This is highly effective.
2) Practice listening in your native language.
Many of us aren't great listeners in our own language. Learn how to pay attention to the person in front of you in a relaxed way, so that you understand the message they want to transmit. You can practice this with another person. Ask them to tell you something about themselves, and then see if you can summarise what they have said.
3) Face the situations you fear.
The most effective way to improve your listening is having real life conversations with people in real situations. After all, that is one of the reasons you are learning English, isn't it? Those are the moments when you really test all the skills and qualities you need to be a good communicator: Listening, focus, confidence, connection, and precision.
As the English entrepreneur Richard Branson said: "You don't learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing and falling over".
Good luck and… enjoy! 😉

Brandon firefighter charged with arson; fraudSeptember 05,2013BRANDON A town firefighter is facing criminal charges after Brandon Police say he set his own car on fire in an effort to defraud his insurance company.
Jeremiah M. Shaw, 31, of Brandon, has been issued a criminal citation to appear in Rutland criminal court in October to answer to charges of arson, burning to defraud and insurance fraud.
Brandon Police were called at 11 p.m. on Aug. 12 to a car fire on Route 7 near the intersection of Wood Lane in town for a reported car fire.
At the scene, Shaw told police he was driving when he noticed flames in the back of the vehicle and pulled over. Before fire crews arrived, the car was fully engulfed in flames.
Further investigation by police in town and the Vermont State Police Arson Unit indicated that the fire didnt start in the manner that Shaw described.
Police say he later confessed to burning the vehicle to obtain insurance money.
Brandon Fire Chief Roman Wdowiak said Wednesday that his department was cooperating with police and had taken appropriate steps in accordance with the law regarding Shaws status at the fire department. He did not say explicitly whether Shaw remained an active member of the department.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER After sitting on the Vermont Supreme Court for nearly 30 years, Justice John Dooley...

In Christian eschatology the Antichrist (birth date, time and city: Astrodatabank, Jeanne Dixon) or Anti-christ (literally: anti, opposite; christ, messiah) has come to mean a person, image of a person, or other entity that is the embodiment of evil. The name antichrist derives from the books of 1 and 2 John, which describe any who denies Christ to be antichrists. The term is also often applied to prophecies regarding a "Little horn" power in Daniel 7, and is used in conjunction with many End Times teachings. Antichrist is translated from the combination of two ancient Greek words αντί+χριστος (antí+khristos), which can mean anti "opposite" (of) 'khristos' "messiah" therefore"opposite of Christ". Anti can also mean "for or as". Thus...

Mayor Nutter urged residents in flood prone areas to evacuate as Hurricane Sandy intensified, calling the response thus far "decent."
As of noon, some 300 residents of Philadelphia and the surrounding Pennsylvania suburbs had left their homes for shelters.
An estimated 10,000 city residents live in areas at risk of serious flooding, and officials have urged that they consider staying with family or friends, or move to shelters.
"Part of the challenge here for us is to strike an appropriate balance between non nonchalance and utter horror and fear," the mayor said at a noon press conference at West Philadelphia High School. "If you looked outside this morning, you might think, it's not so bad. All we can stress is it's going to get progressively worse."

We are looking forward to our appearance at the BBC Proms later this year, in which we are joined by the Choir of the AAM for Handel's Coronation Anthems at the Royal Albert Hall. Directed by Richard Egarr, the programme also includes JS Bach's "Air on a G string" and Purcell's "Dido's Lament", presented in an arrangement by acclaimed British conductor Leopold Stokowski.
The Academy of Ancient Music is no stranger to the pomp and ceremony of the Coronation Anthems, and you can watch a video of us performing "Zadok the Priest" at Birmingham Symphony Hall on our YouTube channel.
Tickets are now available to purchase from the BBC.
The Academy of Ancient Music, directed by Pavlo Beznosiuk, travels to Ruse, Bulgaria, to perform at the city's March Music Days International Festival on 12 March 2016. Lying along the River Danube, this beautiful city will play host to 680 musicians from 14 countries, including the Signum Saxophone Quartet, Ruse State Opera and the Romanian National Symphony Orchestra.
The Academy of Ancient Music announces its 2016-17 season at the Barbican Centre, a season that marks Richard Egarr's 10th anniversary as Music Director.
Read on for our season highlights and concert listings.
Following a string of critically-acclaimed recordings, Music Director Richard Egarr and a small team of AAM players travelled to Cambridge in late January to record our next release for AAM Records: Sonata Concertate in Stil Moderno Libro Primo by Dario Castello, a Venetian composer who played an important role in the development of both the sonata and concerto.
The story of Dario Castello, contrary to the impact of his music, is an elusive one. The name Castello was, and remains to this day, a common one in Venice, named after one of Venice's six boroughs, or sestieri. There even seems to have been a family of musicians who served the Doge during the first half of the seventeenth century. However, references to Castello the composer appear only in the title-pages of his Sonata Concertate in Stil Moderno, published in Venice as two volumes in 1621 and 1629. The latter of these stated that he was a wind player at St. Mark's Basilica, Venice, performing under the direction of none other than Claudio Monteverdi himself.
Though we know little of Castello the man, we know that Castello the composer was ahead of his time. His sonatas display a remarkable degree of instrumental virtuosity and soloistic licence, with competition in abundance between violin, trombone and dulcian (an early bassoon) across extended passages. Furthermore, the scores themselves demonstrate some of the first published examples of bar lines and tempo indications within instrumental music.
As an innovator of both music and its presentation, it is only in recent years that Castello has been recognised as a key figure in the development of instrumental music.
We look forward to sharing this important recording with you in later this year.
On Friday 15 January 2016, the AAM will perform "The matchless man", a programme of English music that will take place in Poland's recently renovated NOSPR Concert Hall. Directed by Pavlo Beznosiuk, leader of the AAM, the concert will begin with Henry Purcell's iconic 'Rondeau' from Abdelazar, before charting the post-Purcellian world of English music in the 17th and 18th centuries. The death of Purcell at just 36 years of age had a monumental impact as to what English music would now be, and who would be its next proponents.
It is ironic that a concert of English music is made up almost entirely of foreign composers. Handel and Galliard hailed from Germany, whilst Geminiani and Roman came from Italy and Sweden respectively. However, these composers spent substantial parts of their lives in England, and it was to English music that they devoted their efforts. Galliard, for example, was the choir-master of Somserset House, one of the royal residencies, and helped to found the very first Academy of Ancient Musick. In fact, the Grove Dictionary of Music describes Handel as an 'English composer of German birth'; his works are considered English in spite of his nationality, a conclusion that can also be applied to Galliard, Geminiani and Roman.
"From the time of my first appearance in London, to the hour, I have enjoy'd the Happiness of your Countenance and Favour." – Francesco Geminiani, dedicating a set of works to the very first Academy of Ancient Musick.
"The matchless man" takes place on Friday 15 January 2016 in NOSPR Concert Hall, Katowice, Poland.

We are delighted to hear that violinist Alina Ibragimova has been awarded an MBE for her services to music in the 2016 New Years Honours List.
"I am delighted and privileged to accept this honour, as someone for whom the United Kingdom has become a musical and inspirational home. My career in music couldn't have happened without the support and generosity of the musical culture of this country. I am thrilled to receive this MBE."
Alina regularly collaborates with the AAM, most recently in a performance of Mendelssohn'sViolin Concerto in E minor in 2015 under the direction of Edward Gardner.
This October we're delighted to be joining the other Associate Ensembles and Orchestras (along with a host of visiting artists) for the Barbican Centre's first classical weekender, Sound unbound.
Aimed at introducing a whole new audience to the joy of classical music, Sound unbound casts classical music in a new light, releasing it from the confines of the concert hall. Over this weekend-long festival you can tap into short sessions in the Barbican Conservatory, foyers and halls, engage in debates about the genre, taking your pint with you and live tweeting along the way.
By day's end any remaining boundaries will come crashing down at the classical overnighter when classical and non-classical DJ sets will rub shoulders until the early morning.

Today we remember Trevor Jones, violist and long-time AAM principal. Trevor passed away peacefully last week.
Current AAM principal viola, Jane Rogers writes:
"I first met Trevor Jones during some recording sessions with the English Concert and he was, right from the start, one of the most encouraging and welcoming colleagues with whom I've ever been lucky enough to work. Trevor adopted this attitude with everyone and it made him an invaluable asset in every group with which he played.
His knowledge about music and style was admirable. Most people knew him as a violist but he was so much more than this having been one of the pioneers of the early music movement in Great Britain alongside David Munrow, Christopher Hogwood and Trevor Pinnock playing the rebec, vielle and viol. Trevor remained a close colleague of Chris and AAM throughout a career which spanned 40 years.
His fun-loving attitude – combined with a more serious, scholarly side – made him the popular and successful musician that he was. He cared a great deal about the early music movement and was always encouraging to young musicians and instrument makers. Although not a keyboard player himself, he was the first person to commission a chamber organ from Goetze and Gwynn, essentially putting them firmly on the map as reputable organ builders.
It was Trevor's sense of humour and zany resourcefulness for which I will have the fondest memories. On one occasion he turned up to a concert having forgotten his regulation black concert shoes. Quick as a flash he removed his black socks and put them on over his brown brogues, and hey – presto! Black concert shoes! Something which kept the viola section amused throughout the whole performance.
He was a much loved and respected colleague who will be missed by many."
We're delighted to announce that AAM will be returning to the BBC Proms this summer for a programme of the music of JS Bach on 21 August!
Under conductor David Hill, and alongside singers Sophie Bevan, Rebecca Evans, Iestyn Davies, Nicky Spence and Roderick Williams, the orchestra will perform Bach's beloved Magnificat in D major and Brandenburg concerto No.2 in F, as well as a lesser-known Lutheran Mass setting in G minor.
We're delighted that our Good Friday performance of JS Bach's original 1727 version of the St Matthew Passion has now sold out London's Barbican Hall. Directed from the harpsichord by Richard Egarr, and featuring a cast led by internationally renowned Evangelist James Gilchrist, it's hardly a surprise!
Returns continue to trickle in, but you'll have to act fast to snap them up. If you can't be there in person on Friday, you can always have the next best thing – our new recording of the work on AAM Records.

On 8 March 2015 a team of runners from AAM's permanent staff (#teAAM) ran the Cambridge Half-Marathon in memory of Christopher Hogwood and to raise funds for the AAM and The Brain Tumour Charity, the UK's largest dedicated brain tumour charity.
Fundraising via JustGiving, #teAAM received more than 55 donations, ranging from £5 to £500, and raised more than £3,000 in Christopher's memory. Thanks to all our donors, as well as to all who helped us publicise the campaign – we couldn't have done it without you!
We are thrilled to announce AAM Record's newest release, AAM004 JS Bach St Matthew Passion, recorded in its original 1727 version, and available worldwide from 31 March 2015.
Since 1727, JS Bach's "Great Passion" has gripped the hearts and uplifted the minds of audiences all over the globe. Nearly three centuries after its premiere, the work has lost none of its power to evoke feelings of compassion for all those who suffer. Its mix of urgent story-telling, meditative arias and mighty choruses sets St Matthew's account of Christ's betrayal, trial and execution eloquently and emotionally.
Over the past 40 years the AAM has made over 300 recordings of baroque and classical music, winning Brit and Gramophone Awards along the way, however – remarkably – this is our first recording of the St Matthew Passion. With a superlative cast including James Gilchrist, Sarah Connolly, Thomas Hobbs, Elizabeth Watts, Christopher Maltman and Matthew Rose, and directed by Richard Egarr, this is a landmark project.

On Sunday 1 February 2015 the AAM and scholar-pianist Robert Levin put on a Mozart & Beethoven working day at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester.

More than 30 students took part over the course of the day, which was capped by a performance of an unpublished completion of three Mozart fragments by Robert Levin.
This was the first of AAM's 2015 AAMplify offerings; future events include woodwind and brass master-classes at the RNCM and the Guildhall School of Music & Drama respectively, as well as AAM's annual workshop with the Collegium Musicum at the University of Cambridge.

The Academy of Ancient Music is deeply saddened to announce the death of Christopher Hogwood CBE, conductor, musicologist, keyboard player and founder of the Academy of Ancient Music.
Christopher Hogwood passed away on 24 September 2014 as the result of a brain tumour.
Christopher Hogwood studied keyboard at Cambridge University with Rafael Puyana and Mary Potts and later with Zuzana Růžičková and Gustav Leonhardt. He worked with most of the leading symphony orchestras and opera houses in the world. Once described as "the von Karajan of early music", he is universally acknowledged as one of the most influential exponents of the historically informed early-music movement. He was equally passionate about music of the 19th and 20th centuries: with a particular focus on the Early Romantics and the neo-classical school where he applied the same rigour and supreme musicianship to all his work, striving to discover and to recreate the composer's intentions both in notation and performance.
Christopher Hogwood founded the Academy of Ancient Music in 1973, rapidly establishing a place at the forefront of the period-instrument movement. Over the following 30 years he directed the AAM on six continents and made over 200 CDs, including the first-ever complete cycle of Mozart symphonies on period instruments as well as many other first recordings of baroque and classical masterworks by a period orchestra. His iconic recordings include the 1980 recording of Handel's Messiah with Emma Kirkby and Carolyn Watkinson which was named by BBC Music Magazine one of the top 20 recordings of all time and the BRIT award-winning recording of Vivaldi's Four Seasons.
Other previous roles include being a founder member of the Early Music Consort and keyboard player and soloist with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, artistic director of the King's Lynn Festival, artistic director of the Handel and Haydn Society in Boston, a tutor at Harvard University, Principal Guest Conductor of the Kammerorchester Basel, Honorary Professor of Music at the University of Cambridge and Andrew D.White Professor-at-Large at Cornell University in the USA.
Honorary President of the AAM, Christopher Purvis CBE commented: "Christopher had extraordinary generosity of spirit. He was a great ambassador for historically informed music, the movement of which he was a founder. And he was happy to see the orchestra he founded develop and grow after he stepped down as director."
Music Director of the AAM, Richard Egarr said: "I am deeply saddened by the news of Christopher's passing. Christopher provided a fantastic legacy for me to build upon when I joined as Music Director in 2006 and I know he will be greatly missed by all who knew and worked with him."
Chairman of the AAM, Terence Sinclair said: "Christopher made music and made friends with equal, infectious enthusiasm. He changed our lives."

We are thrilled to announce AAM Record's newest release, AAM003 JS Bach Orchestral Suites, available in the UK and digitally worldwide from 4 November 2014.
JS Bach's Orchestral Suites are a series of grand and graceful dances, paying homage to the French baroque style as championed by the ballet-obsessed King Louis XIV. Written during Bach's years in Leipzig, where he had a wider range of instruments at his disposal than ever before, the Suites revel in new sonorous possibilities and employ varied combinations of wind, brass, stringed instruments and timpani.
This recording — performed with single strings and at a low, "French" pitch — offers a unique, chamber-like interpretation of Bach's virtuosic ouvertures.

Emeritus Director Christopher Hogwood has been profiled by Keith Clarke in Classical Music's 1000th issue. Hogwood first appeared on the cover of the magazine in 1977.
Looking back on a life in historically-informed performance, he offers these words of wisdom:
"One of the battles over the years, especially in relation to seeking public funding, has been to fight for 'excellence' often in the face of a false opposition to 'access'. I have always believed fervently in both, with no sacrifice in excellence, and I would encourage any young musicians setting out on a career in music today never to compromise on their artistic standards."

While we are disappointed our recording of JS Bach's St John Passion has not progressed from this year's short-list, it is with great pride that we announce "Arise, my muse" — a live recording of a recital given by AAM Music Director Richard Egarr and international counter-tenor Iestyn Davies at the Wigmore Hall — has been nominated for a 2014 Gramophone Award for best recital.
Don't miss your opportunity to hear both of these consummate artists in the opening concert of AAM's 2014-15 London season. On 4 October at the Barbican, Richard Egarr will direct the AAM from the harpsichord in a semi-staged performance of Monteverdi's masterpiece L'incoronazione di Poppea. Singing the role of Ottone — Poppea's jilted lover — Iestyn Davies leads an all-star cast including Sarah Connolly (Nerone), Lynne Dawson (Poppea) and Matthew Rose (Seneca).

We're delighted to announce that our recording of JS Bach's St John Passion, released on AAM Records, has been short-listed for a 2014 Gramophone award.
In a review by Lindsay Kemp, Music Director Richard Egarr's "sympathetic", "compassionate" reading of the work is praised for its "aching kind of tragedy", one that contrasts with the "sharp, stabbing agony" evoked by other recordings.
Soloists Elizabeth Watts and Sarah Connolly are singled out amongst a roster of talented soloists for the "telling interpretive details" injected into their arias, while James Gilchrist's Evangelist is described as being "on the highest level of clarity and narrative intelligence."

This afternoon we performed JS Bach's magisterial Mass in B minor to a sell-out crowd in Worcester Cathedral as part of the 2014 Three Choirs Festival.
Conducted by the Festival's Artistic Director Dr Peter Nardone, we were joined by the combined professional choirs of Worcester, Hereford and Gloucester cathedrals, as well as soloists Ruth Holton, Mhairi Lawson, William Towers, Andrew Tortise and Benjamin Bevan.
Roger Jones of Seen and Heard International called the AAM's playing "superb", reserving special praise for principal flute Rachel Brown, whose "ravishing" solo gave "an ethereal feel" to the "Domine deus" duet.

It's been an exciting 40th anniversary year for AAM and the gala organised to celebrate it certainly didn't disappoint either. The gala's aim was to fundraise for our AAMplify scheme which gives young musicians invaluable period performance experience playing alongside AAM's Orchestra. We also aimed to raise money towards the orchestra's artistic work.
Due to the generosity of the Marquess and Marchioness of Salisbury, the event was hosted at the truly magical Hatfield House. One of the evening's highlights featured a recital by Richard Egarr and the stunning Joyce DiDonato - a performance made all the more awe-inspiring due to its location in the Armoury! BBC Radio 3's Sean Rafferty hosted the event in style and David Starkey gave a brilliant keynote speech on the history of English music and the AAM.
The £61,000 raised will certainly help continue the AAM's educational and artistic work for many anniversaries to come. Thank you to all involved.
On 14 June 2014 we will celebrate the end of AAM's 40th anniversary season with a Gala dinner and auction hosted by the Marquess and Marchioness of Salisbury at Hatfield House.
The evening will feature a recital by operatic superstar Joyce DiDonato, accompanied by AAM's acclaimed Music Director Richard Egarr; a banquet of dishes designed specially for the evening by celebrity chefs Rowley Leigh, Sally Clarke and Ruth Rogers; a key-note speech by distinguished historian David Starkey as well as live and silent auctions of more than 25 fabulous prizes. Presiding over the evening will be MC Sean Rafferty of BBC Radio 3's In Tune.
This will be an evening truly not to be missed, and we are delighted to announce we've just received a new allocation of tickets to be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. To make an enquiry — or to reserve your ticket now — please contact Bethan Quartermaine in the AAM office on 01223 341093. Even if you can't attend you can still help us celebrate AAM's 40th anniversary by bidding on items at silent auction at www.aam40gala.co.uk. Bidding will close at midday on 14 June — don't miss your chance to be a part of this memorable event!
The AAM is launching the AAMplify Orchestra: an educational project where students and emerging professionals will rehearse side-by-side with AAM musicians preparing for a performance on the Barbican Centre's free stage as a special pre-concert event before the AAM's final concert of its 40th anniversary season.
The project will involve 2 days of rehearsals on the weekend of 14-15 June in London, with the performance the following Saturday 21 June. For its inaugural concert, the AAMplify Orchestra will perform Mozart Symphony No.1 and Haydn Symphony No.1, directed from the cello by AAM principal cellist, Joseph Crouch. The programme will serve as an excellent introduction to the AAM's concert, Three Last Symphonies: Mozart Symphony No.41, Haydn Symphony No.104 & Beethoven Symphony No.9.

Following a near sell-out performance of JS Bach's St Matthew Passion (1727 version) at the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam on 10 April the AAM returned to St Jude's Church, London to record the work as the third AAM Records release, due out in early 2015.
AAM Records' most recent release, JS Bach's St John Passion, has been remarkably successful, garnering a number of distinguished reviews, including the BBC Music Magazine's discovery of "riches at almost every turn".
All AAM Records releases, including our first recording, Birth of the symphony: Handel to Haydn, are available for purchase direct from the AAM website

AAM recording session at St Jude's, London
The AAM is honoured to have been shortlisted for a Royal Philharmonic Society Music Award for outstanding musical achievement by a UK ensemble in 2013.
The awards ceremony took place at the Dorchester Hotel in London on Tuesday 13 May. The finalists included some of the finest orchestras in the UK: BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, London Contemporary Orchestra and the winners — London Philharmonic Orchestra — rounded out some stiff competition!
We were exceptionally proud of our nomination which was the perfect end to a 40th anniversary year also featuring a summer residency at the National Gallery as part of the Vermeer and Music exhibition and our first season as Associate Ensemble at the Barbican.
We are delighted to unveil our second recording on the newly launched AAM Records — JS Bach's St John Passion.
This work is an intensely personal experience, bringing to life the humanity of the passion story. Combining raw viscerality with moments of exquisite intimacy, it was written soon after Bach's arrival as Kantor at Leipzig's Thomasschule. Keen to impress a new congregation, Bach produced a setting of the age-old passion story which overshadowed almost every piece of liturgical music the world had previously known. Our recording aims to capture the authenticity and vivacity of the very first Good Friday performance at Leipzig's Nikolaikirche.
Over the past 40 years the AAM has made over 300 recordings of baroque and classical music, winning Brit and Grammy Awards along the way. This is our first-ever recording of the St John Passion. With a superlative cast including James Gilchrist, Sarah Connolly, Andrew Kennedy, Elizabeth Watts, Christopher Purves and Matthew Rose, and directed by Richard Egarr, this is a landmark project.
The recording has been awarded four stars by both Gramophone Magazine and BBC Music Magazine.
You can order it directly via the AAM website for just £25 plus p&p.

Today we announce details of our 2014-15 London programme, our second full season exclusively at the Barbican. Featuring a musical Grand Tour, the continuation of our Monteverdi opera cycle and a collection of stellar artists and directors it promises to be an exhilarating, memorable season.
We are thrilled to announce that we will launch our own record label, AAM Records, this autumn.
Over the past 40 years the AAM has made over 300 CDs, predominantly with the labels Decca and Harmonia Mundi. Now, with the market for recorded music changing significantly, we have decided to take our recording programme in-house. AAM Records will enable us to build on our distinguished recording legacy, reaching a global audience of baroque and classical music lovers with our latest performances. We will have unprecedented freedom to control the repertoire we record, the artists with whom we work and the way our recordings are presented.
We will initially release two recordings per year. In October 2013 we will release 'Birth of the symphony: Handel to Haydn', exploring the development of the symphony in the eighteenth century. This will be followed by three recordings of music by JS Bach: St John Passion, St Matthew Passion and Orchestral Suites.

I haven't showed them to the family yet so I still have time to edit!
I like the idea of the first photo on the left (the framed one with just mom and dad's hands) but I feel like there could be a bit more of mom and dad in there... if it's cropped maybe back off the crop a bit? That one also seems a bit washed out, like the blacks look more like dark grey than actual black.
I like the set up of the second one. Wish those kids were either looking at each other, the parents, or you though... but they're kids! The framed version is a little hard to see, but the unframed version could use a little warming up with the color.
Same for the last photo with just the kids. The colors are very blah... like their hair just looks dull and their skin is really washed out with the white background. If the original includes their hands, I'd recrop it to include those. It's generally best not to cut off subjects at the joints.
The black and white is a cute idea. Her eyes look blurry though. And the girl seems more angry than happy in this... maybe there's a similar photo you took that has her smiling a bit more? OR if you've cropped this down from an original, try recropping and keep more of the area around her face.
You know, I actually downloaded the one of the two kids to play with... and it looks like you've erased the background on it? Around their hair it there are blue parts, like you've erased around it. If you have, instead of erasing the background so it's white, play with the color of the original and it'll look much better. Right now she's got an odd blue halo around her head that's very noticable. Maybe you can upload a copy of the original and someone can play with it to see if they can fix the color so the background is white?
Or maybe it's just some odd lighting/shadow thing? Because the photo with the four of them has that blue halo too.
me + him = him
acronyms and such ( o Y o )
Really? Because the line around her face is very sharp, like you took the lasso tool, cut around her, and then deleted... trick of light or something.
I did play a bit with the full family one to make it a bit warmer, hope you don't mind.
me + him = him
acronyms and such ( o Y o )
The onw where the parents are holding hands and looking at each other. I would extend the wall. The cut off of the wall really bugs me.

PHILADELPHIA Negotiating with its largest labor union for the first time in more than a year, the Nutter administration spent four hours Friday in discussions with leaders of AFSCME District Council 33, representing about 11,000 blue-collar workers.
Herman "Pete" Matthews, president of D.C. 33, reported some movement - but not "significant" movement - on various issues that have had the union working without raises or a contract since mid-2009.
"We made some progress," Matthews said. "Not significant, but we're talking. We're trying to get this thing worked out."

Artwork and poetry by people affected by domestic abuse will feature in a pop-up gallery in Newport from today (Tuesday).
The exhibition has been organised to coincide with an international campaign '16 Days of Action,' which focuses on ending violence against women and girls.
The art on display will also include work by pupils at Carisbrooke College and Sandown Bay Academy who have focused on the issue of domestic abuse as part of their lessons this autumn.
Alongside the artwork, displays from agencies and organisations – including the Hampton Trust, Victim Support, Street Pastors who work with victims and families – will show what support is available locally.
Fleur Gardiner, domestic abuse co-ordinator at the Isle of Wight Council, said: "For the last two years we have invited people to take part in Reclaim the Night marches around the time of the 16 Days of Action, but this year we wanted to do something a bit different.
"The art work is of a very high standard and we hope that people, whether they have been affected by domestic abuse or not, will take a few minutes out of their day to visit the exhibition and find out a little more about the issues facing so many people on the Island – and the support available."
Te exhibition runs at 143 High Street, Newport (former Island Images café) between Tuesday, November 27 and Friday, December 7.
For further details please contact Fleur Gardiner on 821000 ext 6332 or via email [email protected]
As part of the 16 Days of Action, the charity Victim Support has organised a self-defence class for women on December 9 at Lower Hyde holiday park, Shanklin.

Actuant posts quarterly profit, raises 2014 outlook
Actuant Corp. on Tuesday reported a fiscal fourth-quarter profit, reversing a prior-year loss, and said it's more bullish about the new fiscal year than it was three months ago.
The Menomonee Falls-based diversified industrial company reported net income of $58.3 million, or 78 cents a share, compared with a loss of $16.5 million, or 22 cents, a year earlier.
Excluding non-recurring items, earnings rose 4%, Actuant said.
Reflecting slow growth in economies around the world, sales for the quarter that ended in August rose by $5 million, to $327 million.
Actuant said it is optimistic about the fiscal year that started Sept. 1 as it moves to invest in higher growth markets, including energy services. The company is raising its forecast for sales and per-share earnings for fiscal 2014.
For the full year, net income fell to $30 million, or 40 cents a share, from $87 million, or $1.17, in fiscal 2012. Sales were unchanged at $1.28 billion.
Like Rockwell Automation, Actuant serves a variety of industrial and consumer end markets and its outlook is often used as a measuring stick for the pace of economic growth. The growth outlook for the economy remains muted, Actuant President Mark Goldstein said during an investor conference call.
The company's financial outlook for 2014 "assumes the current low global GDP growth environment will continue," he said. "Europe and China have stabilized and will most likely be flat, with modest growth in North America and Brazil."
Goldstein will succeed Robert Arzbaecher, Actuant's CEO since the Applied Power spinoff in 2000, in January. Arzbaecher will remain chairman but sought to devote more time to local non-profit organizations. Goldstein has been with Actuant for 10 years and has been chief operating officer since 2007.
Actuant executives said their increasing optimism about the year ahead comes from having Viking SeaTech of Scotland in the fold.
The company recently bought the Scotland-based designer and supplier of specialized mooring equipment for the deepwater offshore oil and gas industry.
"Given the increasingly complex seabed environment, the expertise and know-how associated with their offerings is absolutely critical," Goldstein said.
Actuant considered buying the company five years ago. Viking's management has already suggested possible acquisition opportunities to Actuant, Goldstein said.
Actuant is also divesting its electrical supplies business, a process expected to be completed by late February.
Sales for fiscal 2014 are projected at $1.41 billion to $1.45 billion, which the company said would represent core sales growth of 3% to 5%, plus $100 million in sales from Viking. Operating earnings before any gains or charges are forecast to be $2 to $2.10 a share, or up about 11% if results come in at $2.05.
Actuant's shares closed up a penny Tuesday, at $38.85. The stock has gained 36% over the past year.

Pain in Childrenby Kenneth R. Goldschneider Gary A. Walco Charles Berde
Advances over the past two decades have enabled physicians to revolutionize the manner in which they can assess and manage children's pain. Thirty years ago it was thought that young children did not experience pain and therefore it was not necessary to treat it. Today professionals from a variety of disciplines have contributed data that have revolutionized medical perspectives. Technological advances now enable doctors to treat acute pain in fetuses, premature neonates, infants, toddlers, children, and adolescents with increasing precision and efficacy. Research highlighting the context of chronic pain has moved them away from a mind-body dichotomy and toward an integrated, holistic perspective that leads to substantial improvement in children's adaptive functioning as well as subjective discomfort. This book covers these topics and is intended for anyone who provides medical care to children. Each chapter provides an overview of the problem, followed by a "hands on" description of relevant assessment and intervention strategies. The role of the primary care practitioner is highlighted, both as a front-line resource as well as a consumer of specialized pediatric pain treatment services. Each chapter ends with a summary and specific bullet points highlighting the most central elements, making for quick and easy reference.

It's one of my favorite movies. I always thought Leo was an overrated actor in his younger years with the whole Titanic craze, but I realized how good he was back then when I saw this movie.
It's one of those tragic movies that actually has a happy ending. Love it.

This is one of saddest parts of the movie. I showed this movie to my mom and her jaw dropped during this scene. Imagine having to the call the cops on your own son, who's a junkie. The part that made me move was when his mom actually took money out of her purse and was considering giving him the money.

Too much doping though.
Either way they over inflate the cocaine horror. That's pretty much a fact, lol you don't turn into a junkie and then move to using smack that easily.
To become a smackhead you have to really hate your life.
I mean that stuff is really ****ed up.

After Chelsea's humiliating loss against Arsenal on Saturday, Andre Villas Boas will welcome this Champions League game at Genk. The Londoners have suffered back-to-back Premier League defeats and a good win is needed to their rebuild confidence.
However, Villas Boas will still want to rest some of his players, especially those who have played against Everton and Arsenal in the past five days.
So, how will Chelsea line up in Belgium on Tuesday?
Here are my predictions for Chelsea's starting 11 against Genk:

Zion & Lennox
After three years of building their fan base and positive reputation with guest spots and compilation records, Zion & Lennox released their first full-length record, Motivando a la Yal. The record featured the work of renowned producers Luny Tunes, Noriega, Nelly, and Eliel, some of the most visible the style had to offer. Thanks to the record's success as it hit the charts with force, Zion & Lennox toured all over the Americas, performing before large and appreciative audiences. Soon industry demand and personal pressure caused Zion & Lennox to go in different directions. Boldly boasting to be one of the greatest singers ever to hail not only from Puerto Rico but all of Latin America, Ortiz started his own record label, Baby Records, for whom he is the flagship act and CEO. Lennox continues to make guest appearances and collaborate with important genre artists. Although new releases are expected from the popular duo in the future, they are no longer tied to one another. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez
