WASHINGTON - In an effort to stop technology from extinguishing the record store, a distinctive American institution, store owners want their customers to think old-school.
Record stores nationwide have declared Black Friday to be a special "Record Store Day."
Record Store Day is usually observed on the third Saturday of April. But this year, the independents are trying to take advantage of the shopping frenzy around the holidays.
The emergence of digital music sites like iTunes has helped put many old- fashioned record stores out of business. But the stores are fighting back by encouraging customers to look for those holiday gifts the old-fashioned brick-and- mortar way.
The late Joey Ramone's limited-edition final solo album is just one of many big- name artists who are helping out by issuing special vinyl and CD releases just for Black Friday.
Check out Record Store Day's website to find a nearby shop taking part in Record Store Day - Black Friday edition.

A Reliable Locksmith In Santa Monica
Even though this might not be that interesting to a lot of you, we thought that we would give credit where it was due. Recently I was on a business trip and it took me out to Santa Monica, CA, and I happened to lock my keys in the car. I did not have a lot of time until my next meeting, so I quickly pulled out my phone, opened up my Google application, and typed in locksmith santa monica which gave me about a thousand companies to choose from. I called about 5 companies and got prices from each of them. I ended up choosing the locksmith company with the best price and quickest arrival time, which happened to be called Flatrate Locksmith. They said they would be out to where I was in about 10-15 minutes and they did just that. About 13 minutes later I saw the locksmith van pulling into the parking lot of where I was. From then it only took the guy about 3 minutes to break into the car, which is kinda scary I think, but I guess it is there profession so I would not expect anything less. And that was it, they were done and I was back in my car on my way to the meeting. I really could not of gotten any better service from any other company out there, I firmly believe that. The price they quoted me over the phone was the actual price I paid, and they arrived in the time they said they would, and they did not damage any part of my car, so there really is not anything for me to complain about with their services. I did not tell them that I would be writing this blog post about them, and they certainly did not ask, I just thought that since they provided me with excellent services that they deserved to be recognized for that. So I thought this would be the best way to show my appreciation to them for getting me out of a tight jam and not taking advantage of me during the process. Just so you guys know, they will unlock pretty much anything you can think of, including cars, trucks, vans, R.V's, homes, offices's, commercial properties, safes, and anything else that has a lock on it. I also found out that they have quite a few locations, including Santa Monica California and Boca Raton Florida just to name a few. You can be sure that if you call them for any of their locksmith services that it will be done with care and perfection the first time, they will be very professional, their prices will be affordable, and most importantly they will be honest and upfront with you, which is quite rare in this specific industry. Those few things I can pretty much guarantee to you. You can check out their website here http://www.flatrate-locksmith.com and get tons more information about their services, their pricing which is based on a Flatrate Pricing Structure, and all their contact information in the different areas they provide service to.
Are You Going To Buy Instagram Followers?
Lately there has been a lot of talk about Instagram and the whole platform as a social media and picture sharing space. Many people want to know how to increase there following and how to get more likes when they share a picture. Now we certainly are not experts at social media, or social sharing, but we do have experience at starting a account from scratch. When we create a new account we buy instagram followers to get the plant seeded, so that the hard work is not as hard and makes life much easier on us in the future. Now obviously it is not best practice ever to buy followers or likes or anything regarding social media sharing, but sometimes there just isn't any other choice and you have to do what you have to do. By making that initial purchase of followers you are making it seems as though your account is already popular and people like it, rather then starting from scratch and hoping that people will just follow you based on absolutely nothing. So now that we have that initial following, we have to get people to like our stuff, which we can artificially inflate as well, by buying likes for the individual pictures we post. So not only do we have a large following to start with, but we have people liking our stuff. We only have experience dealing with one company that provides these services and the name of that company is Fast Social Fans. They have many packages to choose from, whether you have a small budget to work with or a large one, they will have a package that will meet your needs. You can be sure that whatever package you choose from these guys they will deliver as promised and provide the highest quality you could possibly imagine. So go ahead and check out their services now for more information.
Recent Experience With Movers In NYC
Today you will read about my most recent experience I had while moving. I was up in NYC over the weekend, last weekend that is, and I had to help a friend move. Yes, the most dreaded and stressful thing you could possibly think of. So the first thing I had to do was find a moving company, this I did by going online and searching for movers nyc which did not help much because there are literally thousands of moving companies in the NYC area. I had to narrow it down somehow, so I just took down the name and numbers of the first ten companies I saw, and went about my research from there. I started calling those companies and tried to get some basic pricing over the phone. It was not really working out like I thought it would, because they ask you hundreds of questions, and at that point I figured the best way to go about it was to just have them come out to the property and look at it themselves. That way I did not have to answer the same thing over and over, and they could just come out and give me pricing that would be 100% accurate. So from there I set up times for all the companies to come out, and that way I would have quotes from a bunch of companies to compare to one another. After all of them came out and provided quotes it was now up to me to choose the company to use. I had to take into consideration what I was getting for the price, like how many men they were giving us, and how many hours they were giving us, plus did the pricing include any materials at all. I was down to 2 companies, from a total of 10, and I had to make my final decision that day. So I went over the quotes one more time, and this time I happened to notice something on one of them, at the top left corner it said in green letters, ""Green Movers"", and once I saw that, my mind was made up. Since I am a huge supporter of recycling and anything environment related, I had to go with the company that practiced Green Moving. So that was it, I had found the moving company we were going to use. After about a week, and tons of work, I found them, hired them, and set everything up. To make a long story short, they came out and did an excellent job for us. They did no damage at all, they got it done in the time they said it would take, and the price was exactly what they quoted us. We could not be any happier with there service we received, and would highly recommend Serenity Movers NYC to anyone looking to move in the NYC area.
The Art Of Getting High PR Links
Today I will be telling you a few ways to go about getting those good and powerful links you have always wanted. Although there are quite a few ways to go about it, there is only really one real way to get them. You can think about how to buy high pr links and how to do it the correct way. You could always just add some spectacular content to your site and then say some prayers which will probably not work, as the only way to get those types of links is if you are already an authority on your subject and have somewhat of a loyal and authoritative following already, But if you are just starting out and don't have those type of people already reading the stuff on your site, then your best bet is to get a jump start on the whole process and just buy these links from a reputable company. Now I am not condoning this at all, but sometimes we need to do what we have to do in order to get the ball rolling and see some results. So if you are thinking to yourself, what is the easiest and fastest way to get these links, then buying them would be the way to go. We do know of a few good companies that provide this services, and we will be tell you their name down below. Just know that there is never any guarantee when it comes to this type of stuff and you just have to take what you get and be happy, or not. So now you know that the chances of you getting these powerful links on your own is fairly low, now it is time to accept that you might just have to purchase them in the beginning. There is a few companies that do a really good job at getting these pr links, and if you follow our recommendations you will be just fine. One thing you have to make sure of when going through with this process is choosing the right links and right anchor text to use. You do not want to be too aggressive if you do not have a diverse link profile already. The last thing you want is to get your site penalized and then have to start completely over from the beginning with a new domain and then create a whole new site. So make sure to choose wisely when submitting the anchors you want, and make sure that you have a very diverse profile to begin with. This means building tons of Brand links and tons of URL links. That way your %'s are low and you can be somewhat aggressive with your exact match keywords. If you follow this and use these rules you should be perfectly fine.

Window Tint In Boca Raton Florida
Ok everyone, you might be saying what the heck does window tint have to do with us. Well when we use a company and they do a good job, we like to give them a shout out and let our readers know about them. Today you will read about a local window tint boca raton shop that did a excellent job on my car and 2 of my commercial vehicles. Initially I did a little research on some of the companies. I Google'd them, called some of them, emailed a few, just to get a feel for what they were like and how their service was. Only a few passed the first test, and then from there I got pricing and asked more questions. Once i had it narrowed down to 2 companies i brought myself and my car to their shops. I got pricing again, and compared that to how nice they were, how long the warranties were for, and how soon they could see me. After that I had the winner and set up a appointment for the following day. I showed up the next day, chose the tint film I wanted, and sat down in their waiting area. That had some very nice and comfortable leather plush couches, with a TV and free Wi-Fi. In about a hour they were done and asked for me to take a look. I walked to the car and was so happy. It looked awesome and there were no bubble or any sign that the car was just worked on besides the tint itself. They then gave me a sheet of paper with care & maintenance instruction on it, I paid them, and left. The whole ordeal took a little over an hour. Now to get your windows tinted, that's a very short amount of time to wait. At least compared to the other times I had it done. This process was very easy and by far the best shop I have or had ever been to.
The next morning I woke up, checked my emails as usual, and found one from them. It pretty much said that they appreciate my business, and it also had a discount for any future service or to give to a friend to use. Now that is what I call follow up and great customer service. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs their car window tinted, or there house windows, or even their office window. They did such a great job that I even wrote this whole blog post about them. So, to wrap this post up, the company is called Boca Tint N Wraps and you can find their site here bocatintnwraps.com for lots more information about their work and services. Well, I hoped this was interesting enough for you to read and that it helped someone in the world make a good decision. Until next time, have a great day.

GAITHERSBURG, Md. - Montgomery County police say a man was killed during a dispute in a Gaithersburg apartment.
Police say the cause of death is undetermined at this point. But they say 45- year-old Cesar Smith suffered trauma to the body, and homicide detectives are investigating.
Police say Smith was in the apartment with at least one other man when several people entered early Monday and an argument ensued. After the assailants left, the other man in the apartment found the injured Smith and called police.
Capt. Paul Starks, a police spokesman, says the slaying was not random. He says investigators are trying to determine a motive and are looking into whether anything was taken from the apartment.

Previously: Chicago's ROOK
Concert was performed May 4th, 2014 4:00 PM at the Landmarks Center, 1201 North Central Avenue, Indianapolis
"This is a repertoire that is either misrepresented or ignored in general, so Rook's attention to it helps protect whatever spiritual monarch rules over old music interpreted in today's terms, but with conscientious respect for the originals. If chess imagery doesn't work for you, let's just say Rook is indeed something to crow about." - Jay Harvey Upstage (Indianapolis) Review
Rook is a mixed instrumental ensemble dedicated to the music of the 16th and 17th Centuries. Rook explores this music with a surprising combination of brass and string instruments that, while popular 400 years ago, creates colors that are missing from modern music making.
The core of the ensemble is comprised of accomplished musicians from Chicago's new generation of period style performers and collaborates regularly with vocalists and other instrumentalists to present this exciting music to modern audiences. In addition to performing at universities and other venues all over the Chicagoland area Rook has presented concerts at Oberlin Conservatory's Historical Performance Department Recital, the Madison Early Music Fringe Festival and a series of concerts with early music pioneer David Douglass.
In March 2012, Rook was selected as one of three ensembles to participate in the Carnegie Hall Professional Training Workshop to work with L'Arpeggiata.
Mark Shuldiner historical keyboards, is a graduate of Oberlin Conservatory's Historical Performance program, where he studied harpsichord with Webb Wiggins. Mr. Shuldiner has also enjoyed additional instruction from such keyboard luminaries as Emanuel Ax and Davitt Moroney. Recent projects have included playing harpsichord, celeste, and organ for staged productions of A Midsummer Night's Dream by Benjamin Britten as well as a production of Monteverdi's L'incoronazione di Poppea under the direction of Stephen Stubbs. Mark led a performance of Charpentier's Les Arts Florissants to great acclaim on a fringe concert at the 2009 Boston Early Music Festival. A rising star of the Chicago early music scene, Mark has performed with Chicago-based ensembles such as The Newberry Consort, Music of the Baroque, the Grant Park Symphony Orchestra, Baroque Band, the B.B.E., and Rook. While maintaining a rigorous performing schedule, Mark also runs his own harpsichord repair and rental workshop and has provided tuning and maintenance solutions to many notable clients including The Lyric Opera of Chicago, Music of the Baroque, and Chicago Opera Theater.
Paul Von Hoff is a trombonist who performs extensively on both historic and modern trombones. Paul is a founding member of the Rook early music ensemble, which focuses on the music of the Renaissance and Early Baroque especially the rarely performed music of the early 17th century. He is also a founding member of the Gaudete Brass Quintet, a modern brass quintet founded in 2004 that has toured extensively, given masterclasses at schools such as Juilliard and Eastman, recorded three albums (one for Cedille records) and has commissioned and premiered over twenty new works. Paul also is the trombone instructor at Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Paul holds a Bachelors degree cum laude from the Northwestern University School of Music and a Masters Degree from the Chicago College of Performing Arts and has studied historic trombone with Greg Ingles, as well as modern trombone with Frank Crisafulli, Lawrence Borden, and Jay Friedman.
Jakob Hansen, a native of Chicago, earned his bachelor's degree in violin performance from Northern Illinois University. His principal teachers include Mark Zinger and Mathias Tacke. While at NIU, Jakob was awarded a grant to pursue study in medieval music and string instrument technique at the Newberry Library with Musician-in-Residence David Douglass, and now continues his study of Renaissance and baroque violin and viola with Mr. Douglass. Pursuing a career as a specialist in early music, he performs with many area ensembles including The Newberry Consort, Northwestern University's Dunbar Festival Orchestra, Madison Bach Musicians, and the Bach and Beethoven Ensemble. In June, 2011, he was selected for EMA's Young Performer's Festival, and performed a program of early 17th century repertoire under the direction of Scott Metcalfe as part of the Boston Early Music Festival.
Jeremy David Ward is a cellist whose musical inspiration and repertoire spans from Renaissance dance music to the post-tonal works of Saariaho and Dutilleux. As a performer of early bass instruments, he has been featured on concerts for Newberry Consort, Ars Musica, the Dunbar Early Music Festival, and the Chicago Early Music Festival. His contemporary music collaborations have included performances with Chicago new music groups eighth blackbird and dal niente as well as Chicago Opera Vanguard and members of the Pacifica Quartet. His orchestral experience has led him to work with David Zinman, Robert Spano, and Alan Heatherington, and as a member of the ensemble Oberlin 21, he recorded works of Debussy and Takamitsu with harpist Yolanda Kondonassis on the Telarc label. Jeremy is a graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and the Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University. His teachers have included Amir Eldan, Peter Rejto and Hans Jorgen Jensen. In addition to Rook, Jeremy is a member of the Newberry Consort Violin Band.

"Stile Moderno" - New Music from the 17th Century
Led by violinists Robert Mealy and Julie Andrijeski, Quicksilver brings together leading historically-informed performers in America today.
Described as "drop dead gorgeous with a wonderful interplay of timbres," (Early Music America) and praised for "impeccable, soulful playing" (New York Times), Quicksilver vibrantly explores the rich chamber music repertoire of the early modern period, from the strange and extravagant trio sonatas of the Italian and German seventeenth century to the spectacular chamber music of the High Baroque.
Featured at early music series throughout North America, Quicksilver has garnered accolades in the press from coast to coast. The ensemble's debut recording, "Stile Moderno: new music from the seventeenth century" has been lauded as "technically expert, flexible in phrasing, and stylish in ornamentation, fully aware of this music's rich sense of theatre" (Fanfare Magazine) and "Breakthrough Album of the Year" (Huffington Post). Quicksilver's upcoming recording, "Fantasticus," is expected to be released in spring 2014.
Quicksilver's players and instrumentation:
Robert Mealy and Julie Andrijeski, violins and directors
Greg Ingles, trombone
David Morris, viola da gamba/cello
Dominic Teresi, dulcian
Avi Stein, harpsichord/organ
Charles Weaver, theorbo and baroque guitar
One of America's leading baroque violinists, ROBERT MEALY has been praised for his "imagination, taste, subtlety, and daring" by the Boston Globe; the New Yorker called him "New York's world-class early music violinist." He has recorded over 50 CDs of early music on most major labels, ranging from Hildegard of Bingen with Sequentia, to Renaissance consorts with the Boston Camerata, to Rameau operas with Les Arts Florissants. At home in New York, he is a frequent leader and soloist with many ensembles, and serves as concertmaster at Trinity Wall Street in their series of complete Bach cantatas and passions.
Mr. Mealy began exploring early music in high school, first with the Collegium of UC Berkeley and then at the Royal College of Music in London, where he studied harpsichord and baroque violin. While still an undergraduate at Harvard College, he was asked to join the distinguished Canadian baroque orchestra Tafelmusik. Since then, he has recorded and toured with many early music ensembles both here and in Europe, including (from early to late) Sequentia, Ensemble Project Ars Nova, the Newberry Consort, the Folger Consort, Tragicomedia, Les Arts Florissants, La Fontegara (Mexico), the Studio de musique ancienne de Montréal, Seattle Baroque, Boston Baroque, and the Handel and Haydn Society. He has led Baroque ensembles for the Mark Morris Dance Company, including a tour to Moscow, and accompanied Renée Fleming on the David Letterman Show.
Mr. Mealy has been concertmaster of the internationally-acclaimed Boston Early Music Festival Orchestra since 2004, and has led them in performances and Grammy-nominated recordings of Lully's Thésée and Psyché and Conradi's Ariadne, as well as productions of Monteverdi's Poppea and the modern premiere of Mattheson's Boris Godenouw. The Boston Phoenix remarked of the Boris production that "the most exceptional music came from the pit. Concertmaster Robert Mealy played more music than anyone onstage or off, every measure of it with erudition and compelling energy." With the smaller BEMF Chamber Ensemble, he has led many productions of chamber operas, and made critically-acclaimed recordings of Charpentier's Actéon and Blow's Venus and Adonis. In 2009, he led the BEMF orchestra in a special festival appearance at Versailles.
He regularly appears at international music festivals from Berkeley to Belgrade, and from Melbourne to Utrecht. A devoted chamber musician, he directs the seventeenth-century ensemble Quicksilver, whose debut recording, Stile Moderno, was hailed as "breakthrough recording of the year" by the Huffington Post.
He is also a member of the Renaissance violin band The King's Noyse, which has made eleven recordings for harmonia mundi usa. He served for over a decade as an instrumental soloist and leader with the Boston Camerata, recording a wide range of repertoire, from the Medieval Carmina Burana to Jean Gilles' Requiem and American shape-note music, and even the rarely-heard Kurt Weill musical Johnny Johnson. Through his interest in earlier repertories, he co-founded the medieval ensemble Fortune's Wheel, which has appeared at early music festivals throughout the Americas, and at the Cloisters and the Frick Museum here in New York.
A keen scholar as well as a performer, Mr. Mealy has been on the faculty of the distinguished Historical Performance graduate program at The Juilliard School since its inception, and became Director of the program in July 2012. In 2009 he was appointed Professor (Adjunct) at Yale University, and directed the Yale Collegium from 2006-2013. In 2004, he received EMA's Binkley Award for outstanding teaching and scholarship. He has recorded over eighty CDs on most major labels.
Lauded for her "invigorating verve and imagination" by the Washington Post, JULIE ANDRIJESKI is among the leading baroque violinists and early music pedagogues in the U.S. In addition to many solo opportunities with various groups, she holds principal positions with diverse Baroque and Renaissance ensembles including Cleveland's Apollo's Fire, New York State Baroque (Concertmaster), the Atlanta Baroque Orchestra (Artistic Director), Cecilia's Circle, and the King's Noyse. Ms. Andrijeski's unique playing style is greatly influenced by her knowledge and skilled performance of early dance. As a full-time Lecturer at Case Western Reserve University, Ms. Andrijeski directs the CWRU/CIM Baroque Orchestra, Baroque Chamber Ensembles, and Baroque Dance Ensemble throughout the school year. During the summer she teaches both violin and dance at summer festivals in Oberlin, Ohio (BPI), Madison, Wisconsin (MEMF), and Vancouver, British Columbia (VEMF).

Her performance of the CD's program with Esteban La Rotta was the winner of the public prize at the 2013 Utrecht Early Music Festival Fringe. Elinor holds degrees from McGill, Mannes, and Juilliard.
Esteban La Rotta is one of Canada's leading lutenists. In demand as both a soloist and continuo player, he studied at the Civica Scuola di Musica di Milano under the guidance of lutenist Paul Beier, and in Montreal with Sylvain Bergeron where he received his doctorate in performance degree in 2008 concentrating on the baroque guitar. Since 2012, thanks to support from the Canada Council for the Arts, he has studied at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis focusing on the repertoire of the late Middle Ages for solo lute under the guidance of Crawford Young. As a specialist in a variety of early plucked instruments, La Rotta has extensive experience with renaissance repertoire as well as with the early Baroque Italian and French repertoire for solo theorbo. He is a regular participant at Festival Montréal Baroque and has performed with ensembles such as the Copenhagen Soloists, Ensemble Gilles Binchois, Les Violons du Roy, Les Voix Humaines, La Nef, the SMAM, and Ensemble Caprice. He has appeared in numerous festivals including Musique Royale, Boston Early Music Festival, Seattle Early Music Guild, Tage Alter Musik (Regensburg), Lamèque Early Music Festival, Stratford Festival, the National Arts Center in Ottawa, and the Orford Music Festival. His performances have been broadcast on the CBC in Canada and the BBC in England. He can be heard on the Atma label, both as a soloist and with Pallade Musica, and on the Passacaille label with the cellist Elinor Frey.
Mylène Bélanger obtained le Prix avec grande distinction à l'unanimité at the Conservatoire de musique de Rimouski (2001) and a Masters in Performance from the Université de Montréal (2003) and began learning harpsichord at an early age in Rimouski, Quebec. She has been heard on Radio-Canada's Jeunes Artistes and with numerous chamber ensembles in Quebec, including les Violons du Roy. Since 1996, her honours include awards from the Wilfrid Pelletier Foundation, the Giorgio Cini Foundation (Italy), the Foundation Beaulieu-Langis and the Université de Montréal. Her studies led her to Europe, at the ESMuC (Barcelona) in 2006-2007, and at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, studying with Frédérick Haas in fall 2011. A versatile artist, Mylène is dedicated to interpretation of both the harpsichord and the organ, and to coaching and teaching. She is currently finishing a doctorate in harpsichord performance at the Université de Montréal with a scholarship from FQRSC.
Graduate of McGill University as a student of Chantal Remillard, Tanya LaPerrière is a promising young Baroque violinist whose powerful and sensitive playing make her a much-appreciated violinist among her audiences. One can hear her on stages throughout Montreal and abroad with well-known ensembles such as Arion, Ensemble Caprice and Les Boréades de Montréal. She also performs regularly with Les Idées Heureuses and la Bande Montréal Baroque. She has recorded on Analekta and Atma labels including two Juno-award for Ensemble Caprice et Arion. Baroque music, she will say, is nothing less than a confession or rather it speaks about matters in which it is everything! Tanya LaPerrière is currently pursuing a masters in performance at the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles studying with of Mira Glodeanu.

Program Notes:
Tonight's program takes inspiration from two Italian words that can be used to characterize emotional effects found in Italian Baroque music, terreno and vago. Terreno represents the earth, that which is profane, secular, regular, and defined. The contrasting vago is music of reflection: it is irregular, spiritual, sacred, elusive, and vague. The program explores these binaries through seventeenth-century Italian repertoire for the violin, cello, and basso continuo, especially sonatas with three interdependent parts.
Such interweaving of treble and bass lines is immediately apparent in the 1629 sonatas by Dario Castello. The Italians relished adventurous nuance, extreme dynamics, and the chance to demonstrate skillful playing. These qualities are evidenced by Castello's dazzling sonatas in stile moderno, a style emanating from Italy that utilized expressive harmonies and theatrical effects, often linked to a specific instrument.
Francesco Rognoni and Giovanni Cima were each members of influential families of Milanese musicians. Rognoni's divisons on Palestrina's madrigal "Vestiva i colli" is an excerpt from his instructional book on singing and instrumental playing, Selva de varii passaggi. The violin part is in the "alla bastarda" style, weaving together and ornamenting all the voices of the madrigal to create an astonishingly beautiful contour. Our version uses Palestrina's original composition in the bass instruments.
The Polish composer and violinist Adam Jarzębski also wrote transcriptions of vocal works in his Canzoni e concerti. His use of passagework and dramatic contrast, present in tonight's Concerto Terzo, reveals the influence of his travels to Italy in 1615.
Two other string players writing for their own instrument were Nicola Francesco Haym and Angelo Maria Fioré, important figures in the development of the violoncello in Rome and Torino, respectively. Haym was also among the very first Italians to travel and perform in London. His talent as a librettist caught the attention of Handel who collaborated with Haym on many operas. Fioré's son, Andrea Stefano, is better known today (he was maestro of the Savoy chapel in Turin for many years), but the works of the elder Fioré have an important place in the story of the early cello.
Giovanni Legrenzi became Maestro at San Marco and one of the most prominent composers working in the Veneto. Many of his instrumental works were named after families in the region. The sonata "La Foscari" caught our attention as it bears the same family name as a remarkable villa near Vicenza designed the celebrated architect Andrea Palladio.
The Neapolitan composer Domenico Scarlatti emigrated to Portugal, and then to Spain. Scarlatti is primarily known for his harpsichords sonatas (about 555) which explored all the possibilities of virtuosity on the harpsichord. K.141 uses repeating notes and the crossing of hands.
Johann Rosenmüller escaped jail in his native Germany and fled to Venice where he was employed at San Marco and became known as a very important composer of instrumental music. In the Sonata terza here, Rosenmüler beautifully explores the colors of string instruments.
Tarquinio Merula's canzoni from 1651 (op. 17) are featured on Pallade Musica's new CD. Merula was not a resident of Venice––he was maestro in Cremona, at the time a part of the Veneto––but it is clear that he felt the influence of Venetian styles and musical commerce. In these canzoni he is able to paint for us brief but vivid scenes, each one feels surprisingly fresh and current.

Founded in 1980 to perform the instrumental music of Shakespeare's time, the Baltimore Consort has explored early English, Scottish, and French popular music, focusing on the relationship between folk and art song and dance. Their interest in early music of English/Scottish heritage has also led them to delve into the rich trove of traditional music preserved in North America. Recently, they have developed a program of music from Renaissance Spain. Recordings on the Dorian label have earned them recognition as Top Classical-Crossover Artist of the Year (Billboard). Besides touring in the U.S. and abroad, they have often performed on such syndicated radio broadcasts as St. Paul Sunday, Performance Today, Harmonia and the CBC's OnStage. They have also enjoyed many teaching residencies at K-12 schools, as well as at the Madison Early Music Festival and other university engagements. The musicians of the Baltimore Consort bring diverse musical backgrounds together to produce a unique sound.
MARK CUDEK is Director of the Early Music program at the Peabody Conservatory, and also Artistic Director of the Indianapolis Early Music Festival. In recognition of his work as Founder/Director of the Peabody Renaissance Ensemble and also the High School Early Music Program at the Interlochen Arts Camp, Mark received from Early Music America the 2001 Thomas Binkley Award and the 2005 Award for Outstanding Contribution to Early Music Education. He has regularly performed with Apollo's Fire, The Catacoustic Consort, and Hesperus, and, in his youth, worked as a cafe guitarist in the Virgin Islands.
RONN McFARLANE has released over 25 CDs on Dorian, including solo collections, lute songs, Elizabethan lute music and poetry, and ensemble music of the Baltimore Consort. Recently, in the tradition of lutenist/composers of past centuries, Ronn has composed new music. These original compositions are the focus of his solo CD, Indigo Road, which received a Grammy Award Nomination in 2009. His CD release, One Morning, features "Ayreheart," a new ensemble brought together to perform Ronn's music, and his most recent release is Two Lutes, Elizabethan lute duets with lutenist, William Simms. www.ronnmcfarlane.com.
MARY ANNE BALLARD researches many of the Consort's programs. She also plays with Galileo's Daughters, Brio and Fleur de Lys. Formerly, she directed or coached early music at the Peabody Conservatory, Princeton University, and the University of Pennsylvania, where she founded the Collegium Musicum and produced medieval music drama. She is now on the faculty of Oberlin's summer Baroque Performance Institute. A resident of Indiana and New York City, she will music-direct the Play of Daniel for 75th Anniversary of opening of The Cloisters Museum in NYC this coming January.
MINDY ROSENFELD, a founding member of the Baltimore Consort whose playing graced our first decade, is also a long-time member of San Francisco's Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, and appears with other early music ensembles such as Apollo's Fire. Fluent in a wide range of musical styles, she plays both wooden and modern flutes in addition to recorders, whistles, crumhorns, and early harp. Mindy actively freelances on the West Coast and is Principal Flute at the Mendocino Music Festival in her hometown. The mother of five boys, she loves dancing and tending her organic garden at home on "The Boy Farm".
LARRY LIPKIS is Composer-in-Residence and Director of Early Music at Moravian College in Bethlehem PA. His cello concerto, Scaramouche, appears on the Koch label, and his bass trombone concerto, Harlequin, was premiered by the Los Angeles Philharmonic to rave reviews. The trilogy was completed when his bassoon concerto Pierrot was performed by the Houston Symphony. He has also served as Director of Pinewoods Early Music Week, and is currently a Music Director for the Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival. Larry often lectures on the topic of Bach and Rhetoric, speaking this past summer at an NEH course in Leipzig.

An essential component of any serious climber's quiver, the versatile Psiphon AR Pant delivers hardwearing weather protection, efficient thermal regulation and air permeable stretch performance. Burly™ Double Weave softshell fabric is a four way stretch woven that combines the superior strength and durability of a nylon face with the comfort and moisture transport performance of a microfibre polyester backer. DWR finish adds water repellency. Two low profile zippered hand pockets securely hold smaller items, and a larger thigh pocket is easily accessible. The streamlined waist closure fits easily under a harness.
This is a climber's pant. From the knee down, the tapered leg design stays out of the way while climbing or kicking in crampons. Seams are eliminated to reduce snags and potential tears, and the gusseted cuff closure accommodates mountaineering and ice climbing boots as well as most ski mountaineering boots. The result is a thoughtful, informed pant design that reduces climbers' frustration and potential dangers, freeing them to focus on task.
The Psiphon AR pant and other Arc'teryx Ascent products stand alone, but really shine when coming together as technically advanced systems that help maximize personal performance in harsh alpine environments. Clothing layers, harness, helmet, backpacks, and crampons are all considered part of the system. Knowing how a climber moves informs the designs, which are built to work in unison according to the intended style of use. Arc'teryx leverages premium craftsmanship, construction innovations and ergonomic patterns to create products that work together to deliver the highest degree of function and hardwearing protection from the least possible weight.

Kids Animated Dinosaur Hoodie
Item #68161
Sale Price: $19.99
Original Price: $35.00
- Description
- Reviews
Let kids express their ferocious side with this Kids Animated Dinosaur Hoodie. When their arms are crossed over their chest, their harmless shirt-front dinosaur morphs into a teeth-gnashing raptor mouth. It might surprise you to learn the idea for this interactive hoodie came from Ross Valory, of the rock band Journey! Eco-friendly inks printed on recycled polyester sport fabric. Made in the USA. Youth sizes 6-12.
Museum Provenance
The cast skeletons of Jurassic titans—including the herbivore Triceratops and the carnivore Tyrannosaurus rex—face off in our National Museum of Natural History's Dinosaur Hall. Though the lance-like horns and bony skull frill of the Triceratops would have made it difficult, the fearsome T. rex was happy to have him for lunch.
Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.

Megabass Pop Max - $19.99
Based on a hand-carved original by Yuki Ito, the Megabass PopMax ups the ante of the well-respected PopX with a larger body, and redesigned gill-system. In addition to the PopX's gill openings that allow for water to pass through and create life-like bubbles, the PopMax also features a unique gill system that consists of six water-intakes and a water chamber. Four intakes channel water through the gills and out to the sides, creating a unique splashing/chugging action on the surface, while two additional intakes channel water into the internal chamber and out below the PopMax. This generates enticing bubbles and a surface disturbance that bass can't resist. The intake system also acts like a lip, utilizing the water pressure that is pushed through the lower chamber to keep the lure from skipping across the water, and helping to keep the lure grounded so it can be worked faster. In addition, when the lure is paused, water flows out of the chamber, causing the PopMax to raise its head and survey its surroundings.
The PopMax can be worked like a conventional popper, and with gentle rod-tip action, the PopMax will roll-walk dynamically, combining the winning elements of both poppers and walking baits. For best results, fish the Megabass PopMax around rocky or riprap banks, over grass beds, or on shallow points early in the morning. Available in a variety of proven Megabass colors, Megabass also recommends fishing the PopMax on 18lb Megabass Dragon Call fishing line.
Comments: this is my go to for top water.this thing not only catches bass but the stripers boil for this thing..i use the bass colors and tend to work this bait very fast works better for me
From: Chad: Rancho Cucamonga, CA 9/17/14
Comments: By far the most durable hard bait i've ever owned. Best popper I've ever used. Caught more bass on this one bait than any other bait. Have it in a pattern similar to GG gill and have had nights where I walk along the shore fancasting and will catch more than 30 largemouth in less than 2 hours. Alot of them may be squeekers, but there's always a few pigs mixed in. Buy one
From: Unknown: USA 3/7/14
Comments: Amazing.. I didn't want to like this bait as I personally think Megabass charges too much for a bait. Boy I was wrong though! First outing and got 4.25lb bass out in Northern Illinois lake, which is brutally tough due to bucket heads. Great great action paired with highest quality paint job. I will definitely need to try out the xpod jr as well! oh and it casts SUPER! Give it a shot if you're not close to me ;)
From: Toshiya: Elk Grove Village, IL
Comments: Great bait! it pop very good, but it walks effortlessly. You get what you pay for with this bait. First time out got a 4lber. This pooper will put other poppers to shame.
From: Ryan: USA
Comments: Never leave without one tied on. This the best popper yet. The paint scheme, water ducts (gills), and size make this lure an awesome topwater lure. I use a Gill mostly here in Maryland and will pop the lure hard to make sure it makes a loud chugging noise. I have several bass trying to attack this lure when I fish. For tournaments I use this in the morning to get bass in quick.
Comments: The best top water popper that ever will be made..Im catching bass after bass of big south fl largemouths some as soon as it hits the water...i got the chartruse back bass color and its killing them..best paint...best multi action popper on the market...
From: Lee: FL
Comments: GREAT lure! I have used it on about 5 trips and I have caught several big bass and a ton of otheres. The biggest I have caught on it so far was a 6lb'er. I have the PM Gill color and it comes with a chartruse trailer feather and it just gets hits, its that simple.
From: Casey: East Texas
Comments: My favorite work of art from Yuki Ito. The best popper I've ever used.
From: Tom: Rome, NY
Comments: Hard to find lure, bought one on an expo in Michigan, best top water plug ever...masterpiece!
From: David: Leon, GTO, MX
Comments: My go to surface lure, caught about 20 bass in 5 hours between 4 and 8 lbs. Definitely worth the price!!!
Comments: I LOVE THIS BAIT!!! One of the best topwater lures out there, you can walk the dog with it, and impart some crazy action out of it when you play around with it!! Just lost one tonight to a very big Northern Pike!! Awsome bait. Up north use leaders!! And yes, they catch big bass too!!
