How do you celebrate turning the big 3-0? Forget a fancy dinner date or even a trip to Paris; Remi Nicole has come up with the perfect solution to facing a milestone birthday. The Brit singer-songwriter invited her friends to join her for a once-in-a-lifetime vacation in Palm Springs where the gang, which included Pixie Geldof, Henry Holland and best friends pop star Rita Ora and model of the moment Cara Delevingne enjoyed a 'Mad Men'-themed party.
The stars, dubbed 'The LDN Crew', stayed in a beautiful house in the desert complete with outdoor pool and kitted out with a drum kit for the occasion. And it looks like Remi is as excited as we are about the new series of 'Mad Men' which is currently set in the 1960s and returns to Sky Atlantic on 10 April. Ahead of the party the singer revealed a photo of Don Drapper and his wife Megan with her face superimposed over the top and Tweeted "Starting preparations for my 'Mad Men' party tonight! Soon we will look like this!" All the guests got involved in the fancy dress theme with wigs, vintage costumes and, most importantly, cocktails.
Also in attendance were actress Jaime Winstone and her ex boyfriend, actor Alfie Allen who is the little brother of Lily Allen. Unfortunately Remi's good friend Nick Grimshaw couldn't make it because of his commitments to his Radio 1 Breakfast show. Remi spent a holiday with Nick, Pixie Geldof and presenter Alexa Chung earlier this year when the group headed off for some New Year fun in the sun along with Theo Hutchcraft from The Hurts.
The day after the party Remi Instagramed a photo of herself wearing a polka dot bikini on a lounger with the caption "And...............chill", as well as a photo of a worn out guest having a little nap on the floor.
Take a look through the party pictures in thegallery above and start planning your own 'Mad Men' bash!

These exquisite, one-of-a-kind rugs come in a range of colors, patterns, and sizes (3'x5' to 12'x15'). They're made with natural materials whenever possible, including madder root for red, walnut husks for brown, and pomegranate for yellow. It's natural beauty at it's best, Mom.
And the most special part about them? They're all made by Afghan women in poverty, who'll receive critical support through your purchase. All ARZU revenue goes back to the programs and facilities that help these women-weavers, including a center that allows them to do everything from washing their clothes to having a cup of tea.
'Tis the season for giving, Mom. Give your home and family a remarkable rug, and give hope to others living in less fortunate conditions. Browse through ARZU's wonderful collection and make your pick. More rugs are available (that are not shown online), and you can even work with an ARZU rep to place a custom order!
ARZU, which means "hope" in Dari, is an innovative model of social entrepreneurship that helps Afghan women weavers and their families break the cycle of poverty by providing them steady income and access to education and healthcare by sourcing and selling the rugs they weave.

Our Rainstick Gourd is three instruments in one. It's a shaker with the seeds inside hitting the gourd. It's a rainstick with that classic "ssssssshhhusssssssssshhhh" sound as the seeds fall from one end of the shaker to the other. It's a washboard with grooves in the side for sliding a stick along for that washboard rhythm. This will keep any budding percussionist happy for hours!
The art on the Gourd is beautiful, too! Each is unique, each is lovely. We will choose for you.
Lengths vary - approximately 10 - 15" long - size doesn't matter. Made in Peru. Fair Trade.

Sorry but this item is currently unavailable.
Please check back at a later stage.
Below are the available bulk discount rates for each individual item when you purchase a certain amount
Disinformation: After getting educated on the dangers of unfiltered tap water, the folks at Disinformation.com tried out various water filters to see how they performed. The results: They frowned on bottled water, praised an under-sink model, and our Big Berkey Water Filter received "the official disinformation endorsement."
Imperfect Homemaker: MaryEllen was struggling with various sicknesses with heavy-metal toxicity as the root cause, or at least adding insult to injury. On well water, she was at least free of the known carcinogens, chlorine and flouride. But well water is notorious for heavy metals. Having heard from friends in Brazil of how much they liked their Big Berkey, and from her own research, MaryEllen is now the proud owner of one of our Big Berkeys. She gives it a 5 stars rating based on performance and price.
Walk Slowly Live Wildly: After years of "reading, researching and learning", Sara finally decided to buy one of our Big Berkey water filters. The water went from tasting and smelling like chlorine to being "yummy".
Inspired Taste: Adam and Joanne have been concerned for years about the contaminants in their water because of the old pipes that supply their house. That was what initially attracted them to our Big Berkey. They didn't expect to instantly fall in love with the taste of the water.

Hydration through daily consumption of water has been scientifically established to have a progressive effect on an individual's complete health. However, consuming unclean water directly from the faucet could mean bombarding your liver and kidneys with a lot of toxins that will inevitably endanger your well-being. Even bottled water is notorious as city water disguised with an expensive brand name.
A lot of precautions must be taken before people are allowed to consuming water. With poisonous elements (such as mercury and led) and pollutants (such as deadly bacteria, parasites, viruses and cysts) contaminating drinking water, cities and communities have taken drastic efforts to protect their citizens. However, these efforts have born little success. Even filtered water contains extreme levels of fluoride and chlorine, which based on the vast amounts of current research about these chemicals, could be even deadlier. In the end, you are only forced to choose the lesser evil.
To rub more salt to the wound, communities and cities all over the United States are now discovering extraordinary levels of chemicals and even pharmaceutical in their drinking water. Organic solvents, pesticides, herbicides, MTBE, VOCs, trihalomethanes and Radon 222 are just few of the pollutants that are commonly found in water and the number of these poisons just keeps on increasing.
The driving factor of Big Berkey is the quality of drinking water they produce since it has the ability to eliminate all the pollutants previously mentioned and even more. One particular benefit is their portability, having a need for neither electricity nor water pressure. The parts are very easy to clean and are durable enough to last for years. The best thing about Royal Berkey, which other filtering systems can't do, is its capability to filter water from ponds, lakes and even the swimming pool. Berkey provides water of the highest quality no matter its source.
It's been 14 years since our family used and even sold Berkey, and we just absolutely love them. So if you're interested, you can contact us through phone call or e-mail and we'll be more than happy to discuss the product with you in detail. If you need more evidence, read through the FAQ page and study the reviews to provide you more insight about filters.
Posted by cliff on 10th Aug 2014
I have purified over 50 gals of water since buying my Big Berkey. No way will you get 3.5 gallons per hour. I get around 1.2 gals an hour which is no big deal, except misleading information. Yes I primed the filters twice. Even used the red dye test.
Posted by tony wilson on 18th Jan 2014
this technology is over a 100 years old. designed for filtering filthy rotten victorian london thames water yuk. the SUPER STERASYL ceramic filters can be taken out after a few months and cleaned..go on you tube to see cleaning ceramic filter videos simple cleaning the outer ceramic wall will help with flow rates as well. in some cases it will get you an extra 6 months of life. having a simple pre water filter to get large particles out of the tap water will also help.
Posted by Carol Smith on 6th Jan 2014
My husband bought us the BB several years ago and we don't use any other water. We even travel with it. Also, we have the extra filters that reduce the fluoride.

In response to Amon's comment below that the Berkey removes fluoride, it should be pointed out that the standard filters actually do not. Berkey does offer additional filters that expand the system's capabilities to do this. Both types of filters must be used to accomplish this.
Also, to quote Dr. Dean Burk, Chief Chemist Emeritus for the National Cancer Institute, "...fluoride causes more cancer death, and causes it faster, than any other chemical."
Posted by Thomas on 9th Nov 2013
The water is so bad at my place, that when I set up the berkey, my landlord claimed the water tasted "bland". Goodness! He was so used to the bad water, he couldn't believe the water was so good.
The shipping took a long time, but that was because it was back ordered. No wonder, because it is so effective.
Posted by Amon on 1st Nov 2013
Brita does not filter fluoride. The ability to filter fluoride itself is worth the cost unless, you are into chemicals.
Posted by Unknown on 28th Oct 2013
We have found it easy to use and clean, and very economical. We love the fluoride filters you can use with it also.

I've had my Big Berkey for almost two weeks; best water I've ever tasted and will never be w/o it.
My only complaint is with the base. The spigot lies at the bottom of the base so that you have to allow the entire unit to sit right on the edge of your counter top in order to draw water. Often, a drop or two of water ends up on the floor beneath so I usually take a paper towel and blot the end of the spigot when I'm done. Annoying.
I'll probably make a base for the unit that will allow me to draw a glass w/o having the unit so close to the edge of the counter top but an optional elevated base would look nicer.

I am a registered nurse who worked in the ED during the cryptosporidium outbreak in Milwaukee.I own the big berkey with 4 elements. Any Questions?
Posted by Steve on 12th Oct 2013
As a user, the thing that separates this series of filters from the crowd to me is the ability to clean the filters very easily and re-use them. Yes, the initial investment cost me more than my Brita countertop unit we had been using but I've now been using the filters which shipped with my unit for almost 2 years and they continue to do their job well with just a few cleanings. In other words, you will make back the initial investment and much more over time.

I got the Big Berkey a little over a month ago because a friend recommended it. I have hideous well water so full of iron and minerals that we couldn't drink it and the smell coming out of the tap turns your stomach. The Big Berkey makes that awful well water into really great water and we can now enjoy our water. I had the Culligan man come and remove his reverse osmosis system and figure the Big Berkey will pay for itself in just a few short months.

i bought this filter years ago because the water pipes in my old house were very rusty & the water tasted nasty. i've since replaced the rusty galvanized pipes with PVC, but am so used to using the filter, that i continue to use it. the water is not 'dirty' as in the rough, so the filters have lasted a very long time between changes. i use filtered water for drinking, cooking and making ice. have never had a complaint with the Big Berkey....owner since 1997.
Posted by Unknown on 11th Oct 2013
We are a family of five heavy water drinkers so I bought 4 filters. The water is wonderful and the filters work great. Fast enough for us. We tried various different water purifiers before but this one is the best. And the price is excellent. Thanks!
Posted by Lawrence & Lena on 8th Jul 2013
We just got our Big Berkey for our very treated city water, and let me tell you, it has just been awesome! We got the Black Berkey filters and the PF-2 Fluoride reduction filters and are so happy with them! The instructions that came with the system were great and priming was a snap (although I did spray a little water in my kitchen!). I would recommend this system to anyone, no matter what type of water you have. Thanks so such a great product!
Posted by Unknown on 9th May 2013
We are very happy with the Big Berkey, it works quickly and without electricity. It is just what we had bee looking for!
Posted by Marie on 15th Aug 2012
We love our Big Berkey. It's been with our family for 2 years now. I don't know how we ever made it without it.

Amazing gluten free grain.
8 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Leione on Apr 23, 2014
Purchased at iHerb
So delicious and nutritious. In addition to being gluten free and suitable for people with celiac disease and gluten intolerance, this ancient Ethiopian grain is rich in protein, dietary fiber, B vitamins (thiamin, vitamin B6, niacin, folic acid, riboflavin), iron, calcium, potas sium, copper, zinc, manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, selenium, phytosterols and antioxidants, and is beneficial for people suffering from diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, obesity, heart disease, gastritis, acid reflux, nausea, indigestion, osteoporosis, arthritis, rheumatism and even cancer: it helps stabilize blood sugar and regulate insulin levels, prevents blood spikes keeping you full longer, aids digestion, prevents heartburn and acid reflux, increases appetite, soothes the stomach lining, reduces colon inflammation, normalizes blood pressure, lowers triglycerides and LDL or "bad" cholesterol levels while increasing HDL or "good" cholesterol, protects against strokes, atherosclerosis and peripheral arterial disease, helps maintain healthy bones and teeth, and even reduces the risk of cancer. I love this whole grain teff and add it to different recipes: not only is it delicious, has a mild flavor and makes food taste better, but also it helps normalize my cholesterol levels and blood pressure and relieves the symptoms of my acid reflux and gastritis. Wonderful product. Highly recommended.

I really like this grain as a wheat substitute. It is high in nutrients, and one of the few non-acidic grains. I prefer milling my own flour from whole grains, and this teff tastes just like wheat to me (For good rising success, add 1 tsp. xanthum gum per cup of teff flour). A tasty hot cereal recipe and a HEALTHY chocolate pudding recipe is on the back of the package, using whole teff. Even my picky teenager liked it. It is a brown color, but the taste is great.

I love this non gluten grain. I make the cereal recipe on the package, then chill it, slice it, sautee it, pour some cinnamon and egg over it: French Teff it is with whatever you want to put on top! Scrumptious

This makes WONDERFUL hot breakfast cereal! For each serving, just toast 1/3 Cup in a sauce pan over medium heat for a few minutes (until the grain smells yummy) then add 2/3 Cup water, bring to a boil, then cover simmer over low heat for about 8-10 minutes. Believe me, it's worth the wait!

I wasn't sure what to expect since I've never used this before. But it makes a great breakfast mixed with yogurt and some flax seeds. It's very filling and I don't get hungry latter in the morning. I was very pleased.

If there is no issue with your login details, our servers may be temporarily experiencing problems.

I'm trying to sign up, but it says I already have an account?
If you have registered for NTC previously, if you have a Nike+ device or if you have purchased something from nike.com in the past, you may have an account. Tap 'Forgot Password' and enter your email address for a password reminder. Or you can choose to register with a different email address.
I asked for a password reminder and it says my email address was not found?
The email address you entered has not been recognized as a valid email address to log in to nike.com. Please check the email address entered or create a new account.
I've reinstalled the app or got a new phone. Why have I lost my minutes and badges?
Your NTC minutes and badges are stored on your phone. So if you replace your phone with a new one, or if you have to reinstall the app for some reason and haven't synced with Nike, we're very sorry but you will lose this data.

Can I use my NTC account on more than one device?

This is an awesome product that was recommended to me because it would cut hunger. I use this as a weight loss product with a low carb diet. Whenever I feel hungry, I drink this mixed with water. In about 10 minutes I am no longer hungry and feel satisfied. Taste greats, too!

Whey protein isolate is the best protein and Bluebonnet's Natural Chocolate flavor goes down easily, whether making a shake in a blender, or just mixing with water in a shaker bottle. Reasonably priced as well. Sweetened naturally with stevia.

tastes great, natural, affordable. i blend it with a banana, kefir, peanut butter, olive oil and sometimes blueberries for a flavor explosion in my mouth every morning.
Bluebonnet Nutritions Whey Protein Isolate is the best

I have tried quite a few of the better known and recommended whey protein products and by far this is the best. It dissolves readily in water or even in greek yogurt, has a good flavor, and best of all, is sweetened with stevia.
Great for low carb diet
Posted by Reviewer1963608 on Nov 21, 2011
Purchased at iHerb
I really like this as a snack. Healthy protein isolate with lots of nutrition. I would say I am on the Belly Fat Cure diet, except that it is a way of eating that I intend to stick with- low sugar, moderately low carbs. This prodcut is great because it contains 0 sugar grams and 0 servings of carbohydrate. I enjoy it with a heaping tablespoon of raw cacao powder, a little vanilla extract,about a cup and a half of almond milk and 1/4-1/2 c frozen bluberries in the blender. The berries and the cacao boost the taste and the nutrition, although it is pretty good without them, too.

When you stay at a budget hotel near Le Bourget Airport in Paris, you are next door to history. This is the oldest airport in France, having started commercial operations in 1919. It was here that American aviator Charles Lindbergh landed his Spirit of St. Louis on May 27th, 1927, after his triumphant first solo trans-Atlantic flight. Two weeks earlier a French plane, L'Oiseau Blanc (the White Bird) took off from Le Bourget for a cross-ocean flight, and then vanished forever. On June 25, 1940, after the capitulation of France, Adolf Hitler and chief Nazi Albert Speer landed at this airport to begin a tour of Paris. It was here on June 17, 1961, that Russian ballet star Rudolf Nureyev defected to the West. The airport has a monument that honors Lindbergh, as well as French aviation pioneers Charles Nungesser and Francois Coli.
Le Bourget Airport was closed to international traffic in 1977, and to regional traffic in 1980. It now handles only business aircraft, and is used as a base for the Paris Air show. Visitors in discount hotels in Paris near Le Bourget Airport can visit the Paris Air and Space Museum, which is halfway between this airport and Charles De Gaulle International Airport. This fascinating museum has 175 old aircraft. You can see the oldest flying machine in the world; the 1879 Massia-Biot glider, and the first prototype of the supersonic Concorde airliner. Hotels near Le Bourget Airport can be easily booked via EasyToBook.com.

'Like Being In an iPod'
14 November 2012
'Like Being In an iPod'
'From the Ground Up' is the story of U2360°, the inside track of what became the biggest rock'n'roll tour in history. The newly announced
'U2.com Music Edition'
of this essential book, adds the soundtrack - Edge's Picks, a 15 track live CD curated by The Edge.
In this edited extract, writer Dylan Jones is backstage on showday in Moscow, describing how the band get ready each night - and how they hear each other during the show. 'Being on stage,' reflects Adam. 'Is sometimes like being in an iPod.'
(And that stunning photo above ? It's from the book. They're all sensational!)
'On the 360 tour, every date was a party, every pre-gig meet-and-greet a summit, every after-show a VIP love-in. This was the first time U2 had ever played in Russia, and in August 2010, a day after Bono traveled to Sochi on the Black Sea for an official meeting with Medvedev, the band finally played the Luzhniki stadium in Moscow. And there were nearly as many security guards at the show as there were genuine fans. According to the crew, being in Moscow meant that anything you needed to get done would probably take at least twice as long as usual and would be fraught with entirely pointless obstacles.
'Why hadn't we played Moscow before?' said Paul McGuinness. 'For the same reason as Hitler and Napoleon actually: it's too far. Until recently there weren't many places in between you could route to. If it takes three days to get the trucks to Moscow and three days to get them to the next place you can play, let's say it's Berlin, it's not worth it. So as Eastern Europe has become more prosperous and there are places to play, it gets easier. It certainly wasn't a decision in principle, we just never got round to it.'
'In many ways it's a country that's come very far and in other ways it's not moved very quickly at all,' said Arthur Fogel. 'So doing business can be very challenging, but it's definitely opened up as a real market for shows, and there's a lot of tourists that go through there.'
'They knew the tunes, and they were enthusiastic and rowdy, although there was a lot of security,' said Adam. 'The authorities had a problem with Amnesty International and Greenpeace, who were both petitioning, and wanted to arrest them all. So a phone call was made and everything calmed down. But we had police with guns and stuff like that, and we're just not used to that. In the past we were always slightly wary that there wasn't a real market in Russia, that you couldn't actually get tickets out to the general public, and it's still questionable because there¹s such a differential between the middle classes and the poor. But it's better than it was.'
At the Moscow show, Bono treated the crowd to an ad hoc a cappella version of 'Singing in the Rain, though most fans seemed more familiar with the words to 'Where the Streets Have No Name', 'One' and 'With or Without You'. And as it rained, and in Moscow the rain falls like it does nowhere else in the world, Larry's own computerised umbrella shot up to cover the drum riser, making the crowd instinctively applaud yet another of the show's sci-fi elements.
The band's show-day afternoon regime was much the same as it ever was. Adam's regime certainly was. In the afternoon he'd see a physio, to loosen him out after training in the morning. Then he'd have a light meal in the dressing room, and go into wardrobe. Then the band would discuss the set, which would see them through to about quarter to eight, at which point they'd go to their various hospitality rooms, to meet any guests they may have invited for the evening.
'I have to say nowadays I can really cope with a lot more distraction before the show than I used to be able to,' said Adam. 'I'm much more focused than I used to be. I empty the mind of anything that might be distracting, trying to get present in the now as opposed to thinking about phone calls you have to make or emails you have to reply to or anything that's too in the organisational mode that could be a distraction. The dressing room has quite a monastic quality; people are quiet, concentrating on the running order.'
Bizarrely, Adam actually gets apprehensive. 'There are times when, even though you've performed a song thousands of times, every time you come back to it it's trouble. So there are times when I have a brain freeze, where if I haven't wrestled a tune into submission and it's usually when we recorded it, when I couldn't quite resolve a chord change, or didn't think it was fluid enough it always niggles me and it kind of just wrong foots me. So it's a bit of a battle of wills and then eventually I'm fine with it. 'Walk On' is a tune that I just dread, and I can see it coming with real horror. I've kind of got there now, but I just keep forgetting a block of notes. And you know 'Streets' is always a problem as there's always a lot of chord changes that takes a lot of concentration. But, you know, it changes.'
360 was the second U2 tour on which Adam had worn his 'ears', as they are known in the trade. These are the in-ear monitors used by musicians today in order to hear what they're playing on stage. They look like iPod ear buds, and are made-to measure from moulded impressions taken from the wearer's ears. Essentially you have a syringe put in your ear, which squirts out a substance akin to modelling clay and toothpaste, creating a thrillingly violating sensation in your ear canal. This is left to set, then extracted with a satisfying squelch before being sent off to the audiologists.
'The rest of the band have been using them since Zoo TV, but I only started on the last tour,' said Adam. 'They give you a very accurate sound mix no matter where you are on the stage, so it's a bit like listening to a proper live gig, whereas traditionally if you're performing you tend to get your little sweet spot; so for a bass player you're hearing the drums, you're obviously hearing the bass. You're hearing enough of the rest of the band to know where you are. But if you need to hear more of anything you just move, because you can stand nearer the guitar amp if you want to hear the solo, or you can be nearer the singer if you want more of the vocal. So once you've got these things in it's like having headphones in, it's like listening to your iPod. Actually, being on stage is sometimes like being in an iPod.'
Just before show time, Edge would quietly strum a guitar, Larry kept himself to himself, and Bono would start his vocal warm-up. If you sat in one of the adjacent rooms you could hear him doing his exercises, which, through stone and plasterboard, often sounded like badly recorded Bjork bootlegs. The show schedule almost never changed: 5 p.m. Doors, 7.15 p.m. Snow Patrol (say), 8 p.m. Set Change, 8.45 p.m. U2 On Stage, 11 p.m. Curfew.
And while the band did soundcheck in the early days of the tour, as they were playing stadiums, it was fundamentally problematic as the doors opened so early. They started letting people in at five o'clock, which meant that any sound check would need to start at 3 p.m., which seriously compressed the day. The pre-show ritual never changed either. Each night, before they go on stage, U2 do exactly the same thing. They walk from their individual dressing rooms, or from their hospitality suites, and they convene with each other.
Often the band won't have spoken to each other all day, as they've been doing their own thing, or looking after their family, and it's a way of reconnecting. It's not exactly a self-administered pep talk, as they're not really that jockish (not at all, really), but a kind of communion, and a moment of

text: A pair of classic early 80s soul albums from ex-Dramatics singer LJ Reynolds! The self-titled '81 set is killer material in a modern Detroit mode all the way through – with top-shelf production by Reynolds, Don Davis, and Ronnie McNeir/ Ronnie, who'd been lost to the industry for a few years, also re-emerges as a writer on the songs "Southern Pearl", "Lonely Superstar", and "Ain't No Woman Like My Baby". The real standout, though, is the amazing cut "Key To The World", a killer steppers track that has a hook that won't quit, and this wonderful brassy finish that gives the track a really triumphant sound that works perfectly with the righteous lyric. LJ Reynolds' sounds great on '82's Travelin', too – stepping even more strongly away from his work with The Dramatics, and emerging as one of the best male soul acts of the early 80s! The production on this one is split between Reynolds and Don Davis, in a mode that's contemporary, but which allows LJ plenty of space for old school vocal expression – that far-reaching style of singing that always made him stand out strongly from the pack! There's a sublime mellow version of Aretha Franklin's "Call Me" on the set – and other tracks include "Words", "Trust In Me", "Say You Will", "You & Me", "Let Me Satisfy You", and "Fast Action" © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Unfortunately these things happen all too often, it's probably because the person/people have been in the guild so long they feel "too comfortable". Realistically you need to decide for yourself, afterall you know these people and can judge what is the best action.
It would probably be beneficial to whisper this person one day, out of a raid, and just talk to them, calmly and politely, just ask what the problem is, and see what response you get. If they're just being an ass then you really gotta get rid of them from the team, like many others have stated before me, it's not about 1 man, it's about the 9/24 others in the team/raid.
You really should nip it in the bud asap though because it will start to fester, and get worse over time.

You have to look at the person's gear. Does it look like they are intentionally stacking block rating? Does it look like a "main tank" set? Maybe it was just a trash set with block rating on.
Maybe they haven't had gear drop that isn't covered in block rating. There's a billion trillion variables that can cause someone's gearing to change.
I have an extremely high block rating set that I use for trash and some other fights, it's like 23/21/40 for dodge/parry/block totals. Nearly done with that set, which I'd be at 102.4% coverage with when completed (and raid buffed).
You're right, Block rating is inferior to actual avoidance in nearly every situation, and you're also aware of when block rating can be genuinely useful or better.
However, tanks do not yet possess an ability that lets us yell at our gear to change its stat allotment. As much as I'd love to shout at a Wall of Terror - Item - World of Warcraft and tell it to not suck so much and to change its stats RIGHT NOW so I can use it, it doesn't work.

Movement 1: Prelude: Allegro moderato
Movement 2: Meditation: Largo
Movement 4: Intermezzo: Andantino poco moderato Vivace
Movement 5: Finale: Allegro vivo
The impending war made any performance in France impossible. Typically, if a work of Martinu's was not performed immediately after its completion, it remained unperformed for a long time. The first version of the Suite concertante holds the record among these unfortunate works: it did not receive its first orchestral performance for exactly fifty years. This small jewel remained unperformed for many decades primarily because several scholars presumed that neither the composer nor the violinist was satisfied with the piece. Some relevant documents, especially two letters recently found at the Library of Congress in Washington, call this view into question and shed new light on the early history of this piece. In a letter dated 22 February 1939 Louise Dushkin, the violinist's wife, approached the conductor Serge Koussevitzky with an offer:
Dear Mr. Koussevitzky: Sam wanted to write you himself, but he has just come home from a western tour and is abed with the grippe. He is very excited about a new 'Suite de Concert' for violin and orchestra by Bohuslav Martinu. The orchestration was not yet finished when we left Europe, but we have now received the complete score. It is in five movements: Prélude, Meditation, Scherzo-caprice, Intermezzo, Finale, and will take about twenty minutes to play. Sam considers this Suite exceptionally 'réussi', in fact a most brilliant and precious addition to the violin and orchestra literature. He would of course be very happy if he could play it with you.
Although it seemed a good idea to approach Koussevitzky, who was great supporter of contemporary music and had premiered two orchestral works by Martinu in the late 1920s and early 1930s, to try and secure a performance of this work, the famous conductor did not programme the piece with Boston Symphony Orchestra, and it seems did not even reply to the letter (at least there is no evidence of a reply in the Koussevitzky collection at the Library of Congress). A year later Martinu immigrated in adventurous circumstances to the USA; Dushkin was among the few people to welcome him after his arrival in Hoboken, New Jersey, on 31 March 1941, and they soon renewed their collaboration.
By that time Samuel Dushkin's agent, Paul H Stoss, had written another letter to Koussevitzky, dated 8 February 1941:
Dear Dr. Koussevitzky: Knowing of your interest in presenting first performances of outstanding works, I would like to call your attention to an availability of unusual interest for next season. The distinguished American violinist Samuel Dushkin, who introduced to the American public such outstanding contributions as the Stravinsky Concerto and Ravel's Tzigane, now has exclusive rights to two more outstanding works, which should be of definite interest to you and your public. These works are: Concerto for Violin and Orchestra by Rodolfo Halffter, Spanish composer (20 minutes), Suite for Violin and Orchestra by the Czech composer Bohuslav Martinu (18 minutes). Mr. Dushkin will be most happy to appear as soloist with your orchestra next season in the performance of either of these new compositions, or perhaps in a standard concerto.
Nevertheless, the possibility of an orchestral performance of the Suite with Koussevitzky remained unfulfilled. The first (and for nearly five decades the only) performance of the work took place in a piano reduction in the Town Hall in New York on 7 April 1943 with Samuel Dushkin accompanied by Erich Itor Kahn. According to the New York Times review from the following day, 'the composer bowed from a box'. The New York Sun review includes an interesting passage on the creation of the work based on information in the programme notes. It says: 'The Martinu Suite written especially for Mr. Dushkin was begun in Paris five years ago. However, it was not finished until last year, when Martinu was a resident of New York. Its movements include a toccata, elegie, caprice and rhapsodie.' It is questionable whether the Intermezzo was in fact not performed or simply omitted by the reviewer in error; but more interesting is the change of title of three of the movements. In fact these alternative names are more descriptive than those sanctioned by the manuscript—Toccata is a more appropriate title for the fast and motoric first movement than Prelude, and Rhapsody describes the final movement more appositely than Finale.
The title of the second movement, the only one that does not show any influence of Dushkin's violin technique, is a special case. The heading Elegy alludes to a strong personal aspect that is missing in the title Meditation. While composing this movement Martinu went through the most difficult period of his love for Vítezslava Kaprálová. On 19 December 1938 he went so far as to suggest marriage, which would have meant a divorce from his wife Charlotte. But the more Martinu pushed her, the less sure Kaprálová felt about the future with a man twice her age. Martinu was desperate. On 14 January 1939 Kaprálová wrote to her parents, 'Martinu has lost eight kilogrammes, he looks bad'. And five days later she wrote to her lover Rudolf Kopec about her recent meeting with Martinu. According to the letter the composer told her: 'My little girl, my Písnicka [little song], I settled my account with my life. I gave myself to you in such a complete way that in reality I transformed myself into you and now I am only a shell, an empty case.' It is this biographical context that makes the Elegy the central piece of the entire Suite. It also explains the extensive use of the plagal cadence known as the 'Juliette chord'. Although Martinu's opera Juliette was written before he met Kaprálová, he later identified her with the eponymous female role of his opera, the dreamlike femme fatale for all male characters.
After such a private movement the following Intermezzo, with its touch of Fritz Kreisler-like light style as well as allusions to the sounds of birds, comes as something of a surprise. In the Finale Martinu quotes a famous Czech folk song, 'Hop hej, cibulári jedou' ('Hop hey, onion marketeers are coming').
It is not clear who wrote the piano reduction of the Suite concertante that was performed at the Town Hall. In the literature on Martinu this is credited to the composer and pianist Erich Itor Kahn. However, the recently catalogued Kahn collection at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts does not confirm this hypothesis. Kahn left no score, and his otherwise very detailed diaries makes no mention of such a time-consuming activity. Moreover it is unlikely that in 1942 or early 1943 Martinu would have had the money to hire someone to undertake this job. According to Harry Halbreich Martinu revised the Violin Concerto No 1 in New York by the end of 1941. It is possible that this supposed revision was in fact the work on a piano reduction of his Suite.
Although most of the reviews were very favourable, the first version of the Suite concertante disappeared from Dushkin's repertoire. It is not clear why Dushkin stopped performing the piece, nor why he asked the composer for a completely different version of the work. The first version was never published. In 1996 Harry Halbreich, the owner of the autograph of four movements of the Suite concertante's first version, gave a copy of it to the Bohuslav Martinu Institute in Prague. He expressed his wish to have it performed. However, the manuscript was incomplete since the middle movement, Scherzo caprice, was missing. According to Halbreich's Martinu catalogue from 1968 this was in the Moldenhauer archives in Spokane, USA. These private archives were donated to the Library of Congress only in 1987, and made accessible even later, but the Scherzo caprice was not among the documents. With the valuable help of Judith Fiehler of the Library of Congress and Don L Roberts from Northwestern University in Illinois, and after much further research, I found a complete draft of the Scherzo caprice, which contains so many detailed remarks concerning the instrumentation that it would certainly be possible to elaborate a full orchestral version out of it. However, since we have evidence—from the above-cited letter by Louise Dushkin—that Martinu completed a full orchestral version of this movement, an alternative orchestration of this draft does not seem appropriate. Therefore this first recording of the Suite concertante's first version contains only four of the work's five movements.
