La bohème Tour 2011
Your reviews of the Tour 2011 revival production
An opera beautifully sung. Very disappointed in the set. A plumbers basement is no substitute for an artist's attic.
John C Phillips 30th November 2011
We watched La bohème last night at The Theatre Royal Plymouth,
we thought it was outstanding!! The cast were sensational with beautfiful singing. The second act in particular was truely amazing. Thank you for this wonderul opera, you should all be very proud of your hard work.
Linda Hughes 26th November 2011
Wonderful performance last night in Plymouth. Great realisation and imagination- the modern set worked well and the drug taking finally explained the dance scene.
My sons who thought they hated opera were surprised, delighted and transfixed.
Thank you for one of those experiences that will stay with me for a along time.
Elpollard 26th November 2011
Absolutely sublimely wonderful. Bryan Hymel and Keri Alkema so moving as Rodolfo and Mimi. How do they sing like that when they're sitting down? How does she sing and act so well when lying flat? How is that possible? Perfectly supported by Vincenzo, Lukas and Nicholas. The modern setting worked absolutely fine for me – and the cocaine-taking seems appropriate for the characters (try and find a picture of Puccini without a cigarette dangling from his lips). The modern clothes allowed the performances and emotion to shine through. My best night in the theatre in the last 58 years…
Lance 19th November 2011
La bohème did not transfer to Modern Day, the romance was gone, dying of consumption not very realistic. Glorifying drug taking as an every day occurance today, was not acceptable. I feel you were lucky to get away with it, as my party did not notice. I was very unhappy with the performance, it needed to be in costume, the scenery I have seen before, the costumes did not take me into another world, I felt that the recession was on stage, we deserved better. The people on stage deserved better. You have lost me as a future customer.

I can sympathise with Jonathanwinter's frustration. Like him, for me most opera means an overnight stay + two day's annual leave. However I live quite local to Stoke so was delighted to find La bohème on GOT's itinerary. I was so pleased that I didn't have to use any of my leave & that I'd actually be able to get home the same evening, I've booked both performances! Really looking forward to it.
Anonymous 3rd November 2011
Best-acted and most emotional and moving performance I have seen. What a difference to the old days, when overweight singers just stood there facing front! At the end, not a dry eye in the house. Thought the modern setting worked well. All credit to all involved.
Ian Harris 3rd November 2011
The best bohème I have ever seen and I shall try to come again in the summer. I have read the negative crits posted and do not agree. I had no problem with the modern setting or the coke-sniffing (Who are these guys? Of course they would.), mobile phones not intrusive (that must be a first). Cafe scene brilliant. Well done and thank you.
Alan Shrimpton 2nd November 2011
Wonderful music and singing. Horrid production. I never want to see that modern interpretation again!
Anonymous 2nd November 2011
I was disappointed as to me La bohème is a tragic love story and sadly this modern day version did nothing for me…at times it became a comedy. The opening scene showing poster of Father Christmas was, I felt, totally inappropriate. The singing was glorious as was the orchestra and at times to close ones eyes and listen was pure magic.
Anonymous 1st November 2011
I had never seen La bohème before although I knew the music. The cast and orchestra were fabulous and we thoroughly enjoyed the evening. The singing was magnificent – I was amazed how the leads managed to deliver from a range of non-standing positions from kneeling to fully prone. However, we thought that the modern setting just did not work, partly because we like to see traditional costumes and scenery, but also we wondered who would be dying of consumption today and not have the support of the NHS? Also why worry about burning a script when you have the original on the laptop? Sorry to be such a realist and thank you for whetting my appetite for more opera.
Lucy Walden 1st November 2011
Sadly I think I must have missed something with this current production, first of all the set and costumes did nothing for me. The singing was good, but there was no emotion or passion between them and did not make me feel as though it was heart wrenching sadly the production I saw at the English National Opera was by far the best to date. Sorry Glyndebourne.
G. Ryder 1st November 2011
A wonderful production. I am very much hoping to see it again next year.
Desmond Clarke 1st November 2011
Modern production worked for me – the more traditional version was becoming boring. Mimi and Rudolpho were exceptional. Their interpretations avoiding full on bellowing and singing with great sensitivity. I struggled to avoid copying the tears of the lady next to me but the hairs on the back of my neck – always a reliable judge for me, just stood up and trembled. I've heard Alagna and Geoghiu sing these roles – in Turin – and they did not give the same"wow"factors as these two. Orchestra worked very sensitively with the singers -great conducting. Minor criticism – what were the chorus supposed to be doing at end of Cafe Momus scene with their backs to audience seemingly very confused. Musetta and Marcello maintained the high standard of singing. Also, one scene at the end was played too close to the edge of stage left meaning good sight-lines for audience right was impaired.
Derek Cooper 28th October 2011
Loved the production, eight out of ten, the singing was great. On balance I think I prefer the traditional setting although this was very good. Perhaps I missed the point but I did not see what the setting added to the performance other than a break with tradition as with having the stage hands on stage with the performers rather than closing the curtains and opening again once you have made the set change.
Anonymous 26th October 2011
I thoroughly enjoyed my first Glyndbourne experience.this was the best production of La bohème I have ever seen,the singing was magnificent.the modern production enhanced it for my daughter and I.
Bill Kempshall 26th October 2011
Performance wonderful
Venue fantastic
Mildmay food exceptional
Interval drinks a complete nightmare, but if that is all there is to worry about then…
Anonymous 26th October 2011
The singing was magnificent although I think the costumes worked against the acting on occasions. Whilst I`m very happy to see productions in more modern settings, I felt that on this occasion the set looked just too scruffy. I also felt that in the cafe scene with Musetta that the ordinariness of design meant that an element of romance was lost. Hrusa's conducting was however superb and Puccini won out in the end anyway.
Anonymous 25th October 2011
I greatly enjoyed the performance and the glorious setting amongst the Sussex Downs. Orchestra and music simply magnificent, singing of highest standard. Slight disappointment with the comtemporary setting of the work. It seems to me that, if a work is moved away from its original time, then the onus is on the producer to make it as least as convincing in the new setting. The third act in particular failed in this respect. The delicate opening music jarred against the harsh metal gates on the stage. Also there was so much"business"in the background during Act 2 that I lost focus on the main characters. However, with Puccini's music in the air such criticisms were quickly forgotten. Thanks for a good day.
Bernard Haigh 18th October 2011
This production of La bohème was really very good, and I am thinking of returning with a friend , so they can enjoy it too. Everything was right. Bravo!
Nick of Wye 18th October 2011
I took along a friend who said he had been to quite a few operas over many years, but it had never really worked for him. After this one on Saturday he said 'Yes, I've got it now'. That's how good this was – stock up on your hankies though!
Simon 18th October 2011
Funny, charming, sad and beautiful all in one night!
Mandy 18th October 2011
A truly wonderful experience in every sense! Can't wait for my next visit and can't believe that it could ever be better. Sincere thanks to the cast and orchestra and for a very special performance.
Jeanne Adkins 17th October 2011
Gestatten Sie mir auf Deutsch meiner Begeisterung Ausdruck zu verleihen: diese Produktion war von der ersten bis zur letzten Minute erfüllt von einer hinreißenden Spielfreude, auf künstlerisch kaum zu überbietendem Niveau. Die jungen Sängerinnen und Sänger, der Chor und Kinderchor und das fabelhaft aufgelegte Orchester haben unter dem ebenso jungen Jacub Hrusa musikalisch makellos und schauspielerisch brillant eine Aufführung abgeliefert, die wirklich keine Auge trocken ließ. David McVicar's Inszenierung wirkte so taufrisch wie neu geboren. Gratulation! Ich möchte auch nicht vergessen den pre performance talk zu loben, der uns in seiner amüsant darbebotenen Art Art Erhellendes vermittelt hat.
Matthias von Hülsen 17th October 2011
Absolutely brillant production, wonderful singers and orchestration!
Anonymous 17th October 2011
An emotional roller coaster; the best acting I have seen in an Opera for 20 years. Such a youthful and passionate cast. Wonderful directing: the second act was masterfully complex. Our party of four agreed this was possibly the best Opera experience of our lives.
Well done!
Anonymous 17th October 2011
I thoroughly enjoyed the performance.I do not usually like productions transposed to the present day but for the first time saw the value of this.
Act 2 was a masterpiece and I feel I would need to see this several times to get the full benefit as there was just so much going on.
However, I did not like the scene which involved sniffing cocaine and thought it entirely gratuitous as did other people I have spoken to.
I attended with my elderly mother and fortunately she did not realise what was going on. As the vast majority of the audience were not young I suspect it went over the heads of a lot which merely confirms that there was no need for it.
Anonymous 17th October 2011
Saturday's performance of La bohème has to be high up on my list of the best production of anything I have seen. Modern productions can often lose the magic of operas, but this was wonderful. Good to see several new faces and all with stunning voices. The meeting of Mimi and Rodolfo in Act I was so touching and quite magical, enhanced by the beautiful playing by the orchestra. This will live with me for along time. Thank you all involved in this superb production.
Pam Hunter 17th October 2011
Fully agree with the enthusiastic comments above – merely want to add that we thought the production itself – so successfully updated to contemporary reality – was brilliant.
Emanuel and Pola de Kadt 17th October 2011
A wonderefully moving and dramatic production, which looks as fresh now as when it was first staged eleven years ago. Everyone sang incredibly well and completely inhabited their characters.
I now find it difficult to imagine a convincing bohème in 19 th century costume.
Congratulations to everyone concerned; I can only guess at the amount of effort and hard work that goes into producing such an evening.
Brian Stevenson 16th October 2011
Saturday's production of bohème was without doubt the best we have ever seen. Rodolfo in particular stood out, but all the cast were superb and Hrusa's conducting was brilliant. Not a dry eye in the house at the end, it was emotionally exhausting! Thank you and hope the other 2 productions will be as good.
Rachel Hay 13th October 2011
We brought along two lifelong opera fans from the Midlands who have both"performed"in the past. We all felt that this was the best production we have seen in 35 years of coming to Glyndebourne. It could not be faulted and the Christmas scene at the end of Act 2 will long remain in our memories.
Barrie Gent 11th October 2011
Spectacular, moving and beautifully sung. The best production of La bohème I have ever seen.
Anonymous 11th October 2011
We were a party of 8 aged 28 to 88. and all were enthralled by the production.
Kenya TattonBrown 11th October 2011
Stunning production. Absolutely first rate. The principals were amazing. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!
Alex Johnson 11th October 2011
Quite the worst performance of La bohème I have heard. The two principles were just adequate with only the Musetta more than that.
The real problem was the direction-or lack of it. The cafe scene especially was completely unfocused with the cast behind the principles rushing around to no good purpose other than filling in time until the fire-eaters appeared.
How long was this performance in preparation?
Dr John Hart 11th October 2011
A wonderful production which sent shivers up my spine.
Many congratulations to you all.
Jonathan Cohen 11th October 2011
The performance was delicate and compassionate and performed and sung so beautifully. Thank you to the cast and to the orchestra for what was a really moving experience.
Jane Mottershead 11th October 2011
The best production of La bohème I have ever seen. The principles and the orchestra were superb. The sound of the voices and music filled the House and the effect of the music and the lyrics was very emotional.
John Hostettler 10th October 2011
Absolutely fabulous! the first time i have believed in the students'joie de vivre and despair! See this production if you can beg borrow or steal a ticket!
Anonymous 10th October 2011
I have seen la bohème many times in my life & i can truly say this production was one I will always remember. The cast were perfectly balanced, I would not pick out one over the over which can happen sometimes. I have had the good fortune of coming to glyndebourne on several occasions with a friend who is in the opera world, but never been to the winter productions. I have recently moved to east sussex so hope to be able to come more often under my own steam.
Keep up the good work&congratulations to you all.
Janet Lyon 10th October 2011
It was intended as a birthday treat – and what a treat it turned out to be! We enjoyed it immensely! The orchestra and singers were superb. Well done all!
Anonymous 10th October 2011
The opening night of La bohème was superb. I came out feeling that I had been right royally entertained and emotionally drained – which is as it should be. Our party included my 94 year old father-in-law who, without being asked, said he could not remember a better evening's musical entertainment. Congratulations to all concerned
Rodney Saunders 10th October 2011
A wonderful production&a successful transposition to contemporary times.

La bohème opening night was totally sublime. Enjoyed every second. Bravo cast and orchestra!
Sheena Oaunounou 9th October 2011
Glyndebourne "abandoning opera lovers in the Potteries" by staging Puccini's glorious La bohème?! Pottiness is lurking in the Potteries I fear.

Farmers Airship, one of only two flying Zeppelins in the world, comes in for a landing at Milwaukee's Timmerman Airport. | Chris Fusco~Sun-Times
Article Extras

Updated: July 20, 2011 3:30PM
Please, don't call it a blimp.
It's a Zeppelin.
The Farmers Airship that's floating across the country offering flightseeing tours in 16 cities — including Chicago and Oshkosh, Wis. — is one of only two Zeppelins in the world.
The difference between a Zeppelin and a blimp is that a Zeppelin has a rigid internal frame that gives it its shape. Blimps are more like balloons.
Because blimps lack a Zeppelin's skeletal framework, their engines are mounted on the side of the passenger cabin, creating noise and vibration. A ride on a Zeppelin is much more peaceful, thanks to the engines being tucked away on the sides of the hull and the tail end of the airship, far from the passenger gondola.
Another key difference is that "Zeppelin" sounds way cooler than "blimp." Jimmy Page would never be in a band called Led Blimp.
I caught a ride on the Farmers Airship last weekend at Milwaukee's Timmerman Airport, where passengers paid $375 each for 45-minute flightseeing tours. (Farmers Insurance Group sponsors the Zeppelin, which is owned and operated by California-based Airship Ventures.)
It was surreal standing in the middle of a grass field and watching this gigantic watermelon/UFO-type contraption touch down in front of us. At 246 feet in length, it's the largest passenger airship on the planet — 15 feet longer than a Boeing 747.
Unlike a 747 and other aircraft that get their lift from wings or rotors, an airship's lift comes from being filled with a gas that's lighter than air. In this case, non-flammable helium. (In the ill-fated Hindenburg's case, not-so-non-flammable hydrogen.)
Seven passengers and I filed into our airplane-like seats and buckled up before the pilot lifted us straight into the sky. A few wind gusts gently knocked us around at first. But soon it was calm enough to walk around the cabin — even stick our heads out the windows — as we floated 1,000 feet above Lake Michigan's shoreline.
We passed over fancy homes in suburban Whitefish Bay and got a great look at the Milwaukee Art Museum's Santiago Calatrava-designed Quadracci Pavilion. Boaters and sunbathers on the beach waved from below.
Summerfest was in full swing while we cruised over the festival's lakefront fairgrounds at a speed that felt a lot slower than our actual 35 mph. With my neck craned out the window, I peered down at one of the bands performing on stage. The beats were muffled and I couldn't quite make out the lyrics, but I still think I had the best seat in the house.
The Farmers Airship will offer flightseeing rides from Oshkosh, Wis., for EAA AirVenture July 23-31. It will be in Chicago (flying out of DuPage Flight Center in West Chicago) Aug. 5-7.
Visit farmersairship.com or call (650) 969-8100 to make a reservation.

Here's a tired team, fresh off their 3rd east coast trip of the season, playing an Edmonton team that's had 2 full days of practice here in L.A. after being prison raped in Anaheim.
What happens?
Martin Jones whips out his pair of brassy's.
Every time the Kings have had to play a shit team, they pick up the receiver and phone it in.
Not tonight.
Only TWO penalties (Muzzin!) and they shut down all of those supposed high flying draft picks the Oilers have stocked up on.
Despite the 1,000 times they gave the puck away, this was as impressive a win as I've seen all season. They didn't get caught looking ahead to Thursday.
Maybe "Nail" Shouldn't have done THIS 5 games ago
The Oilers SINCE that incident…
Kings 3 – Edmonton 1
Kings 4 – Edmonton 1
Kings 2 – Edmonton 1
Kings 3 – Edmonton 0
They even won with Matt Greene in the lineup! And he even registered an assist!
Don't be fooled – the Kings have spoken with the Hurricanes about Tim Gleason. The problem is how to get him to fit under the Kings cap. Let's see how long Mitchell will be out first.
Will Detroit ever win another game at home?
Someone please make the case for Tim Gleason being a King, I just don't see it. Especially if it involves anything higher than a 5th round pick. What am I missing here?
As much as Gleason sounds like a good idea. I have to agree and ask "why"?
because Gleason is better than Greene, is healthier than both Greene and Mitchell, is younger than both and is signed up long term unlike Mitchell and Greene.
Because Gleason is better then Matt Greene thats why
And Gleason won't be as fragile as Greene or Mitchell
You guys sound pretty certain of that! Be careful what you wish for…
Jone's looks like a very skillful goalie, his point blank saves were great, and saved the Kings from a loss. Muzzin's lack of concentration at times, passes with no zip, poor coverage are not indications he is ready for playoff hockey….keep waiting for his game to be there for the all the minutes he plays. Greene showed some life last night, so did Lewis by going to the net a few times.
The oilers just can't skate with the kings……funny how the Chicago trolls say that speed kills the kings defence. If I'm not mistaken, isn't the oilers one of the fastest teams in the league? Quick better come back quick or this Jones fellow is going to make us forget who Quick is. 6 effin wins in 6 starts? 3 shutouts? Holy sweet baby jesus! We went years and years with horrible goalies, now we are stacked with an elite bunch. What an awesome problem to have. Martin Jones is so much less stressful to watch than Quick and Scrivens. I don't look like a nervous Chihuahua sitting on the coach when he is in net. Keep up the awesome blogs matt!
DL 1st offered up Frolov for Jack Johnson, the deal was all but inked when the Canes asked for Gleason & Belanger. DL really didn't want to trade him, but at the time he felt JJ was a franchise dman. Gleason has not had the injury problems as bad as Mitchell & Greene. He also is faster then both of them & Regehr. Look at DL's MO on bringing in Dmen, he brings in veterans as bridge players while the young Dmen develop & either trades or lets older ones move on through UFA. Gleason fits the mold of what DL looks for, he did it last year with Regehr. With where the Kings are being in the elite of the NHL, risking bring back Mitchell & Greene, a 1/3 of your defense who both missed the most games in the last two years is too risky of a move. Since the cap is a floating cap & not a hard one, they could fit in Gleason now but DL still wants to have cap room to add someone at the deadline.
Gleason = 4 Million
You guys are fucking out of your minds.
I cannot believe that the Oilers are in potential standing to nab the first overall pick yet again.
Thank you Dean. Thank you Futa and the entire scouting staff. I don't care about the knocks guys like Bernstein have on these guys, saying Dean has never drafted a bonafide sniper. One dimensional argument and an easy one to make after a couple of low scoring losses.
Don't look now, but the Kings have averaged 3 goals a game in their last 8. Not bad! Other than Chicago, Ducks, and Sharks, nobody scores in the West. I'll take the Kings mid-league status in goals for when they're this dominant in forbidding other teams to do any better.

Gleason? I'll take chance on his salary but won't give you much to do it.
Lets stop worrying about blackawk trolls,, The blac kawks don't match up well against the ducks and we are overdue to face the ducks in the playoffs,
This Jones kid is just plain nasty, Am i just stupid to salivate on the possible return we can get for #32?
@ Mike Hawk-Hertz
Pretty much my point. I think the stats say it all for me. I wouldn't mind him on the team, just not willing to offer much for him or his salary hit. Also, he doesn't seem as durable as people suggest. Our D core is banged-up pretty bad though. If a deal is done, I hope it's not another Regehr-type deal. Is Shultz even an option?
Who knows, it may not matter with Jones in net, LOL.
ok say my name three times really loud out in public.
I was thinking of ordering Chinese food using that name, seeing that 'Mike Hunt' and 'Seymore Butts' are getting really old with them, heh,heh,heh.
You guys are cracking me up! Especially MIKE!
No supplemental discipline for Tom Wilson's hit on Brayden Schenn
Is this shit for real?
I just saw that on NHL Tonight, totally BS. How much you guys wanna bet they get Brown for like 4-5 Games for that stupid kneeing penalty they called tonight on him. The league hates us, seems like they always have. Jus saying……
Gleason is an outstanding skater. He'd be the Kings best skater and is a shut down dman. He wont be caught out of position all the time ala Greene.
I having my morning Coffee and no new blog. I bet Barry has a hangover with a smile this morning, and it wasn't because of his wife randomly ripping of his pants to give him head.
If Brown even is under review for the game misconduct penalty (Knee on Knee) I will personally hunt down Shanahan and shove a stick up his ass. If he gets suspended I will shove it down his throat out his ass. If Brown gets suspended and Tom Wilson doesn't even go to a hearing it would be the icing on the cake that the someone in the NHL with a lot of pulling power frigin hates the Kings.
Who is Dwight King? Where did this gorilla come from? I have to give it to Sutter. He saw something in this guy and never gave up on him. I hated King, I begged for his trade and now he is laughing in my face.
Why is Fraser in the lineup over Vey?
Frattin a healthy scratch….again.
Clifford or Frattin? Clifford or Carcillo? Frattin or Carcillo?
Trevor Lewis has heart and that's about it. That doesn't cut it.
Drew Doughty went from 18 years old to 35 in one year.
Jones > Scrivens
WAIT WAIT WAIT? Jones > Bernier ?
Alex Martinez made Mexico proud.
Muzzin has a special on game nights, free dumb penalties.
We don't need Gleason for a 4 million dollar cap hit.
And in the end I have to ask the Sharks how that sticky salty shit on their faces tasted after last night……
I think Barry probably started doing tequila shots after the Martinez goal, thereby securing the win, LOL. Great game last night Jones deserved the shutout, but a win is a win. Was surprised how we rolled them. Colorado will be tuff on Saturday. Prediction: Brown won't be in that game, because he's a King and
Shanafag hates us.
Ummm.,..matt…..? Where are you? Your blogs are like my drug and I am seriously having withdrawals. Quick,post something! I don't care what, just something.

It's 2014 and as usual my email inbox is loaded with interesting new stories about various aspects of animal behavior. One story that caught my eye is titled "Dogs might poop in line with the Earth's magnetic field".
I have to admit that at first I was a bit skeptical about this study. However, in reading through the research paper published in the professional journal Frontiers in Zoology called "Dogs are sensitive to small variations of the Earth's magnetic field" that is available here, I came to see that the data support the conclusions the researchers offer. Specifically, "a two-year analysis of more than 70 dogs from 37 breeds showed that our furry friends 'preferred to excrete with the body being aligned along the north-south axis under calm MF [magnetic field] conditions.'" When the MF was thrown out of whack, the dogs were "less picky about their crapping preferences."

10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

'The qualities of His Majestys Sagbutts & Cornetts have been established for many years, particularly in relation to sound-quality and agility in the
improvised ornamentations. The ensemble generates a real sensation of splendour'
Early Music 2011
'HMSC: They're unbelievable!'
a recent audience member in the USA!
About HMSC
His Majestys Sagbutts and Cornetts is a group of virtuoso wind players who specialise in playing Renaissance and Baroque music in historically appropriate styles on original instruments. The noble sound of cornetts and sackbuts was among the most versatile instrumental colours available to composers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It was heard in many musical contexts: in consort or in alternation with voices in the extravagant liturgy of the great Italian and Spanish churches - above all the Basilica of St Mark's in Venice; in aristocratic entertainments such as the intermedii of northern Italy or the masques of Jacobean England; and in the ceremonial and devotional music for the courts and free cities of Lutheran Germany.
"If there was any question that HMSC is the pre-eminent early brass group, that question should have been laid to rest. It was like watching one brain in 8 bodies! Very impressive."
Audience member, Berkeley, February 2012
We've recently released a CD of a new work, written expecially for us by composer Martyn Harry. 'At His Majesty's Pleasure' features the core group, solo pieces and an extended HMSC to paint a picture of a childhood Monarch in 16th century England.
Our recently release CD of music by Giovanni Gabrieli, in collaboration with Ex Cathedra and Concerto Palatino, has been winning the hearts of critics and listeners across the world.
We are proud to welcome cornettist Helen Roberts to the group, expanding our core ensemble to three cornetts and three sackbuts.
'the playing is nothing short of exquisite. A breath of fresh air'
Historic Brass Society
"done with a style that is wonderful and also Good Playing! - That's the hallmark of HMSC" David Hurley - The King's Singers...

One of the premises of SJS, is writing on and sharing issues that require advocacy, raising awareness of issues and supporting fellow social workers. We received a request through our Facebook page from a social worker who was having difficulty in obtaining employment due to a past felony conviction. Below is her story.
Why did I choose Social Work?
I have always worked in the human service field. I found that work to be very rewarding and I enjoyed it. I would always get frustrated with all the hoops people had to jump through to get any kind of assistance. I was the one who questioned certain policies and procedures. I always wanted to do more to help people. I became interested in criminal justice when I tried to help a gentleman get a job and at every turn he was turned down. As a society, we expect people to support themselves yet we do little to help them. I found this to be very discouraging. What I have come to realize is a criminal record with a felony conviction over shadows an established career and education.
While in graduate school we had to choose a concentration, the choices were Interdisciplinary Health or Family and Community. I chose Family and Community because I felt that social work has moved away from the communities and focuses more on mental health. I want to be a social worker in the community that addresses the issues of the community. Similar to Jane Adams work as she was a pioneer in the field of social work as a community organizer and an activist for change. There is such a push for mental health that we tend to over- look the roots of our profession. We need more social workers in the community on the front lines.
It is through resiliency that I have managed to endure hardships, and to sustain a life that has meaning. Having to cope with this difficult event did create stress, and successfully working through this has increased my confidence. I am determined and confident that I will be returning to the human services field as a social worker. My passion is helping people and evoking change.
Felony Conviction: Describe in more Detail:
The charges stemmed from unemployment. In 2005 I lost my job as an administrator of an adult home due to it closing. I then fell back on my commercial drivers licence (CDL). I began driving a school bus and worked about 20-25 hours a week. Each week when I reported 3 days of work, I figured it went by my previous job of 40 hours a week. Well this was wrong. If I worked 1 hour that counted as a full day of work, so actually I was not entitled to any benefits. In 2007, I was charged with offering a false instrument for filing, falsifying a business record and grand larceny. Prior to being sentenced I paid back all the money owed. When I was sentenced, I had to do 4 months of weekends in jail and 5 years of probation, which I was released from early. Since the conviction, the only job I have been able to get is cleaning vacation rentals.
I do not understand how 1 hour can count as a full day of work, but in New York state it does. So if I worked 1 hour for 5 days, I would not be eligible for unemployment that week. I had a court appointed attorney. I am not sure what the rationale was for the sentencing as I paid back all the money I earned through UI. The District Attorney said if I did not pay the money, he was going to ask for a prison term of 3-7 years.
According to the 2013 NYS Unemployment Insurance guidelines:
Q: What does the Department of Labor consider work?
A: We consider you employed on any day when you perform any services, whether this work is:
- An hour or less in self-employment
- On a free-lance basis or
- For someone else
You must report any activity that brings in or may bring in income at any time.
If you work while receiving benefits and do not report it (even if it is part-time work) you may be committing fraud. You must report all full-time and part-time work to the Labor Department. If you do not report the work, you risk criminal penalties.
A: If you work less than four days in a week and earn $405 (gross wages) or less, you may receive partial benefits.
You are considered employed on any day when you perform any services – even an hour or less –
What I have Done to Rectify my Current Situation:
I recently tried a re-entry program in NY state. It was with a non-profit agency which has a contract with the NYS Division of Parole. Because they contract with them, the division of Parole has the final say on who the agency hires for the program. As I think back on the last interview, I was told that as long as parole and the supervisor approved me, they wanted to hire me. When asked if I ever had a substance abuse problem I said no and in fact I have never tried any drugs. The question had to be asked as the program enforces abstinence. I would think every program would enforce that. I was not accepted into the re-entry program even though I shared and explained my certificate of relief.
I wish every profession embraced the NASW Code of Ethics and core values, what a wonderful world this would be. Again, just another reason social workers need to be out in the communities addressing social issues and addressing social issues in the code of Ethics under Social Workers Ethical Responsibilities to the broader society. I really feel that we are falling short in this area.
In about 4 weeks when my job ends, I will be eligible for unemployment, but because I am working with a friend on starting a re-entry program, I do not qualify. I do not get it. There is something wrong here and it frustrates me. It seems as if the "system" does not want individuals to better themselves.
When I interview for any job, I am very honest about the criminal record. In fact, I attach a copy of the certificate of relief to the application. During the interview when it has been discussed I share that the charges stem from unemployment. I generally hear the interviewer will have to look into it to see if I can be hired. I explain what the certificate of relief is for and this seems to fall on deaf ears.
It is unfortunate that employers are not willing to look past this felony conviction considering that a certificate of relief has been obtained and Ms. Whyte paid back to NY state all of the money she was paid through unemployment. What do others think?

How about helping those of us over 55 too. We have years of experience and need to work so we do not end up in retirement poverty. We do not want your supervisor jobs, we just want to do what we do best, work for a fair job just like a 20 something just out of school.
Tim Shaughnessy
Its a shame that New York State publishes in Corrections law 23-A that "The public policy of this state, as expressed in this act, to encourage the licensure and employment of persons previously convicted of one or more criminal offenses". This law means nothing when you read the loopholes. Another means of oppressing individuals with criminal records is the NYS Justice Center, which has used children and the developmentally disabled as propaganda to fix a system of protecting these populations of individuals when the state dropped the ball in their own approach. I worked as a probation officer in my previous line of work and rehabilitation includes labeling people with criminal records as the other in our society that can only succeed to a point. I am ashamed that we as a society are afraid of everything and stereotype people into narrow minded pictures.
What else can you say..straight out of the "hiring for idiots" handbook…they can hire without having to process a thought…I believe that agencies think they are playing it safe by doing this…turnover is not playing it safe..they need competent people involved in the hiring process..who know whats needed..and how to fill that void. Unfortunately this is bigger than social services
Zach Woodby
I am having trouble finding work or getting into grad school. I did 10 years and have my life together now, been out almost 4 years, did every thing I was supposed to, finished parole went to school and I graduated in May with my BSW. Got my Limited License…people in interviews (yes even social workers) act like a grew a second head when I tell them I am an ex-con.
I feel her pain. Got to keep trying and hope someone out there gives her a chance.
@Zach Woodby and the young lady whose story I just read. I am disappointed that you are not being treated fairly. I thought that as social workers, we are suppose to not judge, uplift, and have empathy. You serve your time just like the lady in the story, more importantly you made a conscious choice to change your life and obviously to pick social work because I can assume that you want to make a difference in other people lives. I am proud of your resiliency and do not give up. If one door closes, keep knocking on other doors. Another one will open. Continue to advocate for yourself and others. Telling your story is a start. This is a great site since they discuss issues that affect many people and professionals. Do not give up!
t. m.
I think its wonderful the problem you presented, I am a 23 year old convicted felon and I am living the same truth. I've graduated as valedictorian of my high school and accomplished so many other things and for all that be be overshadowed by one mistake(that if anyone would ever ask the details of they would know just how silly it is) can be very frustrating at times. Anywho, since my release from jail I have re-enrolled back into college in hopes of becoming a social worker to help others who are in this very predicament.I am fortunate enough to have two menial jobs to make ends meet but I'm currently waiting on the clearance to work as a youth advocate for children with behavioral and psychological problems. as you may know it can cause a ton of anxiety so it's just refreshing to know you are not alone in this fight. Stay strong and know that as long as you continue to fight your day and time will come.

Is it possible to configure this close to a right angle?
ATG Stores Answer
The rail is flexible and can be brought pretty close to a 90 degree angle, if you want a perfect 90 they have tracks that are available that can do that.

Can we install this product in the bathroom?
ATG Stores Answer
Thanks for th eemail and sorry this fixture is not UL rated for "damp" or "wet" locations and the 12v means it runs on less electricity because it has a transformer in the canopy.

Buzzy McBuzz
By Dave B. of 1988 from Cleveland, OH on Sep 02, 2011
High-End Shopper
Fixture looks AWESOME. My only issue is that the transformer gives off a quiet BUZZ. I don't know if this is normal, or if mine is messed up. No matter. You can only really hear it if the house is absolutely quiet and you stand directly underneath it.

3. Solman/MM were the NK carriers (possible)
4. Solman/MM were the target for NK carrier (possible)
5. USA/Sweden were the target for the NK
The unfortunate is baddies know the reason why NK failed. If it is 5, then USA/Sweden are in danger. USA might need some protection tomorrow.
Also, Australia and USA know who MM is. They can vouch for him if he is a goodie but if they do that they will be outed. Outing roles is not good as Sweden's wincon is not known. That reminds me
@Araver: Are there any group wincons? If Sweden achieves its wincon, will the game end?

"This was really good! I think the balsamic vinegar made it stand out for me. I used garlic/cheese sausage and it was great. It could have used a little something else but that's easy to experiment with."
"Great flavor!!"
"So yummy! Both my husband and I loved it. I've made it twice so far--the first time we just ate it plain and it was great. The last time, we added a sprinkle of toasted coconut on top. Delicious!"
"This was very tasty and easy. I didn't have pancetta on hand so I did use bacon and I thought it tasted great! Otherwise, I followed the recipe completely."
"Awesome!! Mine was also done after 30 minutes and it was very moist. I first had this dessert in Ireland and fell in love with it. I always thought it was hard to make but this couldn't have been easier and I had most everything on hand."
"Excellent flavors and so quick to put together! I used a Thai chili garlic sauce as it was what I had on hand and skipped the chili flakes. The heat was fine. The only other thing I did was to add a little more sherry after I poured the sauce into the pan because it was a little bit too thick for me. I served the shrimp over Jasmine rice."
"Thank you! Thank you! These came out PERFECT!!! I have tried at least 5 recipes (including Nigella Lawson's and Jamie Oliver's) for Yorkshire Pudding and have always failed miserably. I don't know why I keep trying to make them except that I LOVE Yorkshire Pudding. But now I have found your recipe and I had success! Thanks again! I'd give it 1..."
"Oh my word, this is yummy. I just ate a piece (before dinner!) and I am trying so hard not to cut another piece. I made it exactly as followed though next time might try the 1/2 oil 1/2 applesauce suggestion. The sauce totally makes this cake! Delicious!"

Activity from tasks (page 2)
You've Got A Pal In The Special Offers
Posted by TSG on Mon, March 22nd, 2010 at 3:13 pm

If you are currently trying to get Swag Bucks for an offer that was completed on our previous Wall #2, you can still get resolution to your inquiry by visiting Swagbucks.com and looking for the offer bar near the bottom of the page.

Costa Rica's centrist ruling party candidate, Johnny Araya, has taken an early lead in presidential elections and is on course to face a tough run-off after a strong showing by two left-wing parties, according to partial results.
On Sunday, Araya, of the National Liberation Party, had 30.6 percent support with votes in from half of polling booths. Luis Guillermo Solis, of the Citizens' Action Party, was in second place with 29.4 percent while Jose Maria Villalta, of Frente Amplio (Broad Front), was third with 17.4 percent.
An April run-off between the top two candidates is required if no single candidate wins more than 40 percent of the vote.
Araya could face a consolidated left-wing vote in the run-off, which could spell defeat for his party.
Campaign promises
Araya, 56, has promised to reduce poverty and has tried to paint his rivals as radicals.
He has also has sought to distance himself from the scandal-plagued current president, Laura Chinchilla, also of the National Liberation Party.
He proclaims his candidacy as "the safest, most responsible option".
But voter anger over government corruption buoyed a challenge from his left-leaning rivals.
Gaffes, such as underestimating the price of milk in an interview, have hit Araya's popularity.
A prosecutor's probe into allegations of abuse of authority and embezzlement while Araya was mayor of San Jose may have also dampened his appeal.
Solis, who previously worked in Costa Rica's foreign ministry, has pledged to improve infrastructure, overhaul the country's universal health care provider and tackle corruption.
That resonated with some voters after Chinchilla sparked outrage by accepting flights on a private jet, despite laws barring public officials from accepting sizeable gifts.
The eventual winner will have to tackle growing government debt that totals more than half of gross domestic product.

I met Joe Paterno one time. And, like any reporter, I looked forward to my first impression of him.
When I worked at the Herald-Mail in Hagerstown, Md., a local football player verbally committed to Penn State, so Paterno made his one home visit to the lineman, then came to his school, signed autographs and spoke to students.
In 2002, Paterno was still healthy and mobile, and the agenda was common for him: rinse, repeat, move to the next town with the next commitment. I remember coming back from that press conference with a positive vibe. He had done dozens of these things over the years and, despite their non-news nature, he kept it entertaining and semi-honest. I expected something boring and was at least amused.
The headline on that story? PSU's Paterno still plays by the rules.
A decade later, we realize he flaunted so many things in the rulebook, both of Pennsylvania and federal law, as well as life. On that January day in Martinsburg, W.Va., Paterno already had lied and schemed plenty to protect Jerry Sandusky. He was only a couple months from a graduate assistant coach telling him Sandusky raped a boy in the shower of the Nittany Lions' locker room.
HIS locker room.
Yet there he sat, laughing about this and that and the other thing, soon be on the way to concocting another lie for his bosses and underlings to keep a "friend" inside the Penn State program and avoid bad publicity.
Suddenly, that day in January doesn't seem so honest and fun anymore.
Here's the column I wrote for the daily paper … lightning will strike again, but we can do a few things to try to avoid it coming into our personal lives.
The actual PDF of the Freeh Report is all over the internet. We'll send you there from here. From everything I've read today (and watched in the press conference for a while this morning), the information received from the janitors about how nervous they were to be fired is the most … bizarre. Joe Paterno goes from JoePa to dictator in a span of sentences.
Obviously there's a LOT of national opinion on this, as there should be.
Dan Wetzel at Yahoo! has been the torch-bearer nationally in the Sandusky-Penn State affair, and he continues to incredibly hit all the right buttons (in my opinion).
Reporter Sara Ganim of the Harrisburg Patriot-News started this ball rolling, and she has not stopped. The P-N coverage is comprehensive and awe-inspiring.
The supporters of Joe Paterno are decreasing by the minute; even Penn State students are having a hard time with this one.
Death Penalty to Penn State football columns are out by Jen Engel of Fox Sports and Jeff Schultz of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Andy Staples at Sports Illustrated thought he knew the Worst Case Scenario. Turns out he was wrong.
CBS' pair of columnists (Dennis Dodd and Bruce Feldman) aim bigger and higher, taking on the entire sport of college football & its "Coach As King" mentality.
Deadspin (and Sally Jenkins) basically think JoePa is full of it — (WARNING: Explicit Language) — in this post.
Former Penn State player Matt Millen has vigorously defended Paterno, including today after the Freeh Report came out. The Detroit Free Press compiled Twitter reactions to Millen's comments in a nice Storify piece on its website.

This is a good piece and I grew up in the Northeast and as a Catholic Mom's 3 choice schools-
-Notre Dame
-Boston College
-Penn State
PSU was larger than life,most would watch PSU game on Saturday,and highlight show each Sunday at 11am.
Those were the 'good" days and to see this today 40-45 years later is un-thinkable and the "Commons Man's Legend' is no more.
It will be many years till this incident fizzles out and for PSU ALUMNI,FANS,TEACHERS a nightmare to say the least.
The harshest penalty that the NCAA, can hand down is the "death penalty". According to my research, it has been used 5 times. The time most people remember is the Southern Methodist University's football team in 1987. The other times as follows: 1952-1953 basketball season for the University of Kentucky, 1973-1975 basketball seasons for the University of Southwestern Louisiana, 2004 and 2005 soccer seasons at Morehouse College, and the 2005 thru 2007 seasons for tennis at MacMurry College. If you add all the violations from these 5 universities, and the other violations from all the other universities the NCAA has imposed penalties on, it does not come close to what was allowed to happen and continue to happen at Penn State. This should not, and can not ever be allowed to happen again. There will always be bad people that will do terrible things, but under no circumstance should these actions be covered up to save embarrassment , money, and even worse, allow a predator to continue to roam free. What failed to happen up to the highest level at Penn State is unacceptable.
Since it is painfully clear that in the world of major college sports, doing the right thing is trumped by profits and other self-serving excuses, it is time for the NCAA to do the right thing by showing this type of behavior will not be tolerated for any reason. Penn State's football program should be given the "DEATH PENALTY" for at least 5 years, or better yet, 1 year for every child violated. Yes, this is severe, but not nearly as severe as what happened and what was allowed to continue to happen at Penn State. When the penalty is worse than what you are trying to hide, the number of cover ups will be reduced.
I hope the NCAA is willing to send this message to all universities, this kind of behavior will not be tolerated, and what was saved by hiding this, is nothing compared to what it will cost, not if, but when you are caught. This is the type of violation that deserves nothing but the most severe penalty possible. This penalty still is nothing when compared to what the children suffered, and some of these children could have been spared, if the people in charge at Penn State had not put profit ahead of the children's welfare.
The current players on Penn State's football team should be allowed to transfer without any penalty.
