G4 are a four-piece British vocal troupe who first came to prominence when they finished second in Series 1 of The X Factor in 2004, and were known for their operatic delivery of modern pop songs. Originally a barbershop quartet,[1] the members met at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, from which the name G4, standing for "Guildhall 4", derives. The current members are Jon Ansell, Mike Christie, Ben Thapa, and Nick Ashby, with the latter replacing former bass singer Matt Stiff in 2014.
The X Factor[edit]
In 2004, shortly after Stiff replaced original bass Tom Lowe, G4 spontaneously applied to The X Factor with the intention of using the show to obtain a quote on posters for upcoming concerts and gain publicity - Prior to this they performed as buskers during their free time at college to earn extra money and gain experience.[2][3] Although the band members originally took turns to sing lead, Simon Cowell suggested that Ansell be promoted to the group's frontman.[4][5] Mentored by Louis Walsh, they reached the final, and to date G4 remain one of only two classical-based acts to compete in the live shows, the other being Welsh baritone Rhydian - coincidentally, both placed second in Series 1 and 4 respectively, and outsold the eventual winners. Cowell, who had mentored Series 1 champion Steve Brookstein, later admitted that G4 were the real winners of the competition.[6][7][8][9][10]
Despite their success on the show, G4 later branded The X Factor as a pantomime due to staged conflict between the judges which overshadowed the contestants.[11] Bass singer Stiff also stated "Backstage Simon would say we were great, but then on camera say nothing. I don't think he wanted us to win and by choosing what he said on camera he knew he had the power to sway votes. He is the ringmaster".[12]

Post-X Factor career[edit]
After The X Factor, G4 signed a £1.5 million album deal with Sony BMG.[13] Having not been picked up by Cowell, Sony A&R Nick Raphael said that his label decided to pursue the band, stating: "We felt that they were the best act on the show."[14] With the rules of The X Factor allowing any non-winning band or artist to sign with anyone,[14] Sony competed with Universal and EMI for G4's signatures.[14] Raphael believed their mentor-turned-manager Walsh accepted Sony BMG's advances because the company had a plan of how to work with them as opposed to their competitors who merely had a desire to sign the band. In addition, Sony also had a definitive date to release any albums and merchandise, as well as organised structure to make their records.[14] During this time, Ansell, who had previously auditioned to be a member of Il Divo,[15] was offered the role of Prince Tamino in Kenneth Branagh's modern adaptation of The Magic Flute, but turned it down to remain with the band.[16]
The debut album, G4, was released on 28 February 2005, and contained mostly classical covers of popular pop songs, most of which had been performed on The X Factor like "Everybody Hurts",[17] with a few opera tunes such as "Nessun Dorma" and "Flower Duet". It reached #1 in time for Mother's Day weekend 2005,[18] and sold over 245,000 copies in the first week. Their debut single, "Bohemian Rhapsody", was released on 14 March 2005, and entered the charts at #9.[19]
G4 & Friends was released on 28 November 2005, and followed the same format as their first album, but also included collaborations with Lesley Garrett and Robin Gibb, both of whom were special guests during the group's UK tour. Their recording of "Miss You Nights" with original artist Cliff Richard was also featured on the latter's album Two's Company The Duets. G4 & Friends entered the charts at #6, and while not as successful as their first album, it was still certified platinum.[20] Their version of "When a Child is Born", also from the album, was originally in the running to become christmas number one for 2005,[21] but was disqualified due to free stickers included in the CD case.
G4's third and final album Act Three was released on 27 November 2006. Being released in the same week as the third album by the similar band Il Divo, Act Three peaked at #21 in the UK charts with first week sales of 37,487. The album included a collaboration with Stephen Gately on the track "No Matter What", Gately having sung the lead on the original version of the song with his band Boyzone, and an orchestral arrangement of Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy".[22]
Other work[edit]
In 2005, G4 launched the similarly-named G Force ride at Drayton Manor Theme Park.[23][24] In 2006, they traveled to the SOS Children's Villages in Ghana on behalf of Classic Response,[25] completed the London Marathon,[26][27] and made a special appearance at the American 4 July party at Winfield House, home of the US Ambassador to the UK where they sang "The Star-Spangled Banner". They also presented a show on Classic FM which showcased their favourite pieces of classical music, along with their own recordings.[28]
On 5 April 2007, G4 announced on GMTV that they would be splitting after their national tour due to disagreements within the band, with Ansell pursuing a solo career. Tenor Thapa stated: "We did not want to drag on for another couple of years, growing increasingly resentful of each other. We are still friends and we want to stay friends but we won't if we carry on in G4". Ansell also confessed that the group found coping with fame difficult, and being popstars was not the band's lifelong aspiration. [29] They gave their final performance at Romsey on 28 July 2007 before splitting.[30][31]
During the split, Ansell's solo album Tenor at the movies reached #1 in the classical charts - making him the youngest tenor to accomplish this feat - [32][33] but in 2012 he was criticised for auditioning for Superstar after it was revealed he was still rehearsing for another musical.[34][35][36][37][38] Thapa has worked with the National Chamber Choir of Ireland,[39][40] and was in the Scottish Opera's production of Kátya Kabanová.[41] Christie is now a classical composer, having written the opera The Miller's Wife which was shown at the Arcola Theatre in 2013,[42] and Stiff, who returned to Classic FM to present his self-titled music programme has performed in several operas, and has spoken of becoming a lecturer in future.[43][44][45][46]
In November 2014, after announcing via Twitter that they would be reuniting, G4 performed at the Barbican Hall with support from Charlotte Jaconelli. Stiff declined taking part to concentrate on his opera career, and was replaced by Nick Ashby. Originally meant to be a one night only concert, G4 later confirmred on The Alan Titchmarsh Show that they would be touring the country in 2015.[47] Prior to this, the group's first official live performance was at the Leeds Christmas Lights Switch-On alongside former X Factor winner Sam Bailey. [48] [49] [50] [51] The previous line up had previously performed together two years after the split during Ansell's wedding to television presenter Debbie King.[41]

Wicked drawings, there's a lot of life in all of this. Your faces especially are really vibrant
July 19th, 2013 #102
Its kind of hard to critique your work since its somewhat stylized
but on average the proportions of the face are a little off.
The face is too small for the skull and the forehead is too long.
With the values you are a little extreme and go too dark too quickly.
Try to be more consistent with contrast and remember that the background has less contrast
than the foreground
July 19th, 2013 #103
I wanted to say that I really enjoy your style, your pixel art in particular. Great colours and shading, I really love pixel art but never got anywhere near your level haha. Very refined stuff. Pretty cool subject matter too, it all seems connected. You know what you like.

MSU teaching assistants gathered Friday morning to protest in front of the administration building that MSU owes them money from teaching last spring and summer. Photo taken 10/25/2013 by Greg DeRuiter/LSJ

Esme Murdock was wearing a sandwich board sign. "Breach of contract," is what it said on the front, on the back a couple of lines about Michigan State University teaching assistants loving their university and not getting love back from the administration.
But the issue at hand was more properly about money.
Murdock, who is a doctoral student, taught an Introduction to Philosophy course over the summer. She was a teaching assistant for a course last spring and is again for a course this fall. The work periods for the spring and fall courses overlap with the one for the summer class. MSU only paid ...

|A fun way to play solitaire with your friends.
This game has requires excellent planning ahead, but has no luck element, since all of the cards are visible after the first
deal. This game is also known by the name of 'King Albert', after King Albert of Belgium, who was said to enjoy the game.
To build ascending suit sequences, in the foundation zone.
Initially there are 45 cards in the manoeuvre zone, and 7 cards in reserve, any of which can be introduced into play at any
time. The purpose is to form ascending suit sequences in the foundation zone. In the manoeuvre zone, move cards to form descending
alternate-color sequences. You can move only one card at any time, not sequences.
Whenever there is an empty column, any available card can be moved into it. The game is won when all cards are moved to the
foundation stacks.
Don't rush to bring the reserve cards into play - use them to help when you are blocked.
Empty columns can be very helpful, allowing moves which would not otherwise be possible. The left-hand manoeuvre stacks, because
of their small size, are good candidates for making empty.
Suppose that the initial deal looks like this:
According to the strategy guide, above, it may be useful to empty one of the left-hand manoeuvre stacks. Column 1 could be
emptied by moving the Jack of Diamonds onto a black Queen. This is possible through the following moves:
Now we have our empty Column:
We could continue this strategy by emptying Column 2:
Now we have two empty columns, and are in a good position to continue.

With Ryan Miller healthy, who will start for the Canucks?
Simply put, Ryan Miller is a pretty good goalie. He suffered a knee injury that cost him more than a month of ice time. Eddie Lack got off to a rocky start in his absence, but he quickly put that behind him and now has a 2.45 GAA and .921 save percentage in 41 contests.

Benoit continues fight despite odds being stacked against him
Published: Friday, September 26, 2008 at 3:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 24, 2008 at 1:41 p.m.
He went to Minneapolis looking at the experience as being an opportunity.
Instead, Houma blues musician Tab Benoit left disappointed.
After juggling its schedule out of respect for those dealing with the arrival of Hurricane Gustav, representatives from the National Republican Convention quickly regrouped and pressed on with convention activities once the threat to New Orleans had passed, according to Benoit.
Benoit, who formed a group called Voice of the Wetlands in 2003, has been an outspoken advocate for south Louisiana residents dealing with the effects of coastal erosion for years.
Its strange, he said. I was worried about everyone back in Houma, but was glad about the timing. I thought I would get a chance to get the message out about how important it is for us to fix this problem.
What he found wasnt what he expected.
After being ignored when he would mention the topic on stage, he encountered further aggravations when he had the chance to talk to delegates and others attending the convention about the Sept. 1 storm.
Its amazing how little people know about the problems we face, Benoit said. Basically I have to erase everything they think they know and start from scratch every time I try to explain this to them. It can really get frustrating.
In recent months, Benoit, along with playing a full schedule on the road, has attended the Democratic and Republican national conventions and even gave a briefing to Congress about coastal erosion.
Im convinced that nothings going to happen any time soon, Benoit said. That doesnt mean I will stop pressing the issue, but it means people living in lower Terrebonne Parish need to start raising their homes if they dont want to get flooded.
A licensed pilot, Benoit has had the chance to get a birds eye view of the challenges the parish faces moving forward.
Benoit was even on the front lines getting his hands dirty during Hurricane Ike.
He was part of the sandbagging efforts to shore up one of the levees in Chauvin that was being overtopped.
People are getting tired of being ignored, Benoit said. This is a manmade problem. It was created when we started diverting the fresh water from the Mississippi River.
When he took a plane up shortly after Ikes passage, he got a sinking feeling in his stomach.
Theres nothing there anymore to stop the water, Benoit said. Its getting to the point where a few days of strong south winds and a little rain will flood parts of this parish. You wont even need a storm.
What frustrates Benoit most is the lack of urgency on the part of our countrys government.
We are supposed to be the envy of every country in the world, Benoit said. I know it would take a few calls to do what we needed too to begin fixing this problem, but thats just not happening.
Benoit argues the country is more concerned about short-term fixes rather than long-term solutions.
Weve become experts at shoring up problems over and over again, Benoit said. Placing Band-Aids on problems wont get the job done anymore.
His passion for south Louisiana will be on full display Oct. 10-12 at the Voice of the Wetlands festival on the grounds of Southdown Plantation/Terrebonne Museum.
The three-day music festival, entering its fifth year, will not only celebrate the culture, but also touch on why our wetlands are so important.
We want to mix fun in with information, Benoit said. I invite everyone to come out to this and ask questions and get information. We will have local leaders and state politicians around to address your concerns in a relaxed environment.
Benoits manager Reuben Williams said they received pressure from others to possibly move the site of the festival to another locale.
At the end of the day, all of us believe it has to stay here, Williams said. Its important to continue to provide this free festival to the people of south Louisiana. Thats the biggest concern that me and Tab have.
To fix the problems that Mother Nature caused years ago when we diverted the fresh water from the Mississippi River elsewhere will take everyones help, Benoit contends.
It will take the people uniting as one and demanding something be done, Benoit said. How do you think the Florida Everglades got fixed? We must demand it, not ask for it.
Along with a slate of top quality local entertainment, Benoit hopes to draw attention from national media outlets.
Im trying to take the approach that this is everyones land thats being eroded every day, Benoit said. If this was happening in New York or Miami or any other coastal city you know theyd be doing whatever they had to do to save those cities.
Benoit doesnt understand why Louisianas situation isnt being used as a test site for ideas on how to stop waters intrusion on to land areas.
If the experts are right about global warming and melting of the polar caps, then why arent they doing things in our state to try and remedy our problems? Benoit said. You could use us as a test site to see what does or doesnt work. One day New York, Boston and other metropolitans on the coast will have to deal with rising water too. It just doesnt make sense to me.

Health expert and registered dietitian provides pointers for better food choices for kids
WASHINGTON, June 23 /PRNewswire/ -- At the first sign of summer, children dive into the pool, head to the park, and grab food on the way out. In doing so, they may also leave nutrition behind; nutrition essential to fuel the energy required for summertime activities. Leading food and nutrition expert Chere Bork, a registered dietitian with more than 30 years experience, president and founder of Savor Your Life Today, Inc., helps busy parents guide their children's summertime food fare into healthier options.
"Summer is an exciting season for kids. Their activity level peaks and so does their appetite. Providing healthy on-the-go food options may be easier than you think with these top five tips," notes Chere Bork:

Signed Louwelsa #627 on the base, this rare decanter clock form is also pictured in the "The Collectors Encyclopedia of Weller Pottery by Sharon and bob Huxford. It does not have the clock movement. Louwelsa was made from 1896-the first decade of the 1900s. It is one of the most beautiful and rare of Weller lines and was named with a combination of his daughter's name and Weller (in honor of his daughter). It measures 9" high, with beautiful hand painted slip Underglaze flower and signature superb shading. The condition is very good with the exception of one glaze chip on the base as pictured. A superb rarity for a collector of Weller. The glaze chip is not in a problem area for complete restoration and has been severely discounted for the damage.
This art pottery is from a lifetime collection of over 120 Hull pottery pieces and also includes several other art pottery pieces we will offer.

The latest issue of international fashion magazine V is dedicated to skimpily clad, large and curvy female models flaunting their flabby tummies, powerful thighs and fleshy midsections. The editors of the publication mean no insult to large-sized women but instead want to prove a point — that everybody in this world is beautiful. This issue has stirred up a debate worldwide and while some have praised the decision to highlight larger models as bold, others have criticised it. DNA asked Mumbaikars what they think…
Keep it thin
Perfect women models on our magazine covers have a great aspirational value attached to them. Other women tend to look up to them. It could be a risky business proposition if you want to feature large-sized models. It's not the right time for India as a market to experiment with such a thing. Maybe few years down the line, when the market is more mature, people will be open to seeing a large model on the cover.
- Dabboo Ratnani, photographer
It's actually disgusting to see a round and bulky model! As a model it's a crime to have flesh on your body. If you are large you should be like Cindy Crawford who is 5'10 and yet she looks great in photographs. The case is the same if you have a model like Deepti Gujral. Their bodies are very large but are in exact
proportion to their height. A bulky model is a big 'No'.
- Atul Kasbekar, photographer
The best part of being slim is that all kinds of clothes fit immaculately on the body and enhance your appeal by leaps. It's the same reason fashion designers across the world prefer slim to showcase their designs. It has an impact on the saleability factor of the business. Moreover, it's quite unhealthy to be large-sized. Any woman is better off being slim than being large.
- Queenie Singh, jewellery designer
Being slim is a trend which has caught on in the Indian film industry in the last decade, all thanks to Hollywood. At least now and for the next few years to come, you will not see bulky women featuring in Hindi films unless it's a definite requirement of the script.
- Madhur Bhandarkar, film-maker
Bulky is sexy
All Indian men find the idea of large women quite sexy…just walk on the road and you will know. The average Indian woman has always been curvy and voluptuous by nature, maybe due to lack of exercise or the Indian diet. Most of the women in South Indian movies are still big and they look so hot! I think this obsession with slim bodies is not at all an Indian idea. It seems like a forced Western idea which is being fuelled by the media and advertising all the more.
- Ash Chandler, comedian
I have a fond liking for large and voluptuous women. Marilyn Monroe is the finest example of large and formidable beauties. Personally, I prefer curvaceous bodies because they tend to have a sex appeal which exudes a kind of confidence. Being slim is only a trend which will not last long.
- Malini Ramani, fashion designer
Men like flesh. Look at the Kamasutra or go to Khajuraho. You will not find a single Indian woman who has been portrayed as slim. All of them have voluptuous and large bodies. Even today when people see a slim woman, the first question they ask is, 'Arre khana nahi khaate?' Till a decade ago all Indian heroines like Sridevi, Madhuri (Dixit), Raveena (Tandon) were large. Even when Bipasha (Basu) starred in Jism, she was voluptuous and not slim. Today something has corrupted the minds of women and they have gotten obsessed with slim figures.
- Pooja Bhatt, actor-turned-film-maker
This entire image of slimness which has been created in our country is purely fictional. If you turn around you will find that large-sized women are the reality. Frankly, it doesn't make the slightest of difference to most men if a woman is large. Men will always find a woman sexy if she can carry herself well.
- Vir Das, comedian

SAVE P-40E Warhawk Airplane Model
One of your favorite miniature planes!
The P-40E Warhawk is the identical version of the P-40D. The only difference is the six wing-mounted machine guns. The P-40 aircraft series were America's leading fighters as World War II began. The P-40 E was engaged in the battle against Japanese aircraft during the attack on Pearl Harbor and the incursion of the Philippines on December 1941. The Flying Tigers group used the P-40E as it fulfilled its missions in China in 1942. On the other hand, the Army Air Forces used the P-40E in North Africa in 1943.
As for the P-40E Warhawk, the general characteristics are as follows: Its primary function was being a fighter. Its span is 37 feet 4 inches, length is 31 feet 9 inches, height is 12 feet 4 inches and weight is 9,100 pounds loaded. For the service ceiling, it is 30,000 feet. Its maximum speed is 362 mph, cruising speed is 235 mph, and range is 850 miles. The P-40E armament had six 50-cal machine guns and 700 pounds of bombs externally.
The P-40E Warhawk was used in copious combat areas specifically, Aleutian Islands, Italy, Middle East, Far East, Southwest Pacific and Russia. Despite being outclassed by its competitors on speed, the P-40E gained its reputation in battles for its great ruggedness. At the end of the P-40s series career, 2,320 P-40E were produced.

Ingebretsen's av Stockholm Scandinavian Gifts
W12092 Hwy. 35
Stockholm Wisconsin 54769United States
(715) 442-2220
Editor's Review
It's only fitting that the town of Stockholm has a bona-fide Swedish butik.
Ingebretsen's is well-known in Minneapolis, where the third-generation family business serves as a market and meeting place for Swedish immigrants and descendents. Its Stockholm store also celebrates Swedish traditions, tastes and styles. Its goods include handwoven textiles, gorgeous hand-blown glasswork, cookware, collectibles, books and music--all from Sweden, of course. On weekends, you can pick up Swedish breads, rolls and other baked goods delivered fresh from the Jenny Lind bakery in nearby Red Wing, Minnesota. The stone building itself is worth a look. It dates back to the original settlement of the village, built in 1878 by Swedish immigrant and town founder Eric Petersen. When the current owners bought the building in 2002, it had been abandoned for several years.

Can you recommend a site for educating me on the basics of computer hardware, for the purpose of buying a desktop?I'm in the market for a new desktop. I purchased our last one about five years ago, purely on the advice of a cousin. It's served me well, but the cousin is no longer around. I'd like to have a basic understanding of the different terms I'm seeing while shopping for a PC. (For example, what does the amount of cache mean to me, etc.)
I've searched around quite a bit, but I'm only finding the information I'm looking for in bits and pieces. Often, it's mixed in with articles explaining things to someone who's never USED a computer. Or, the information is so far over my head that it means very little. I'm definitely comfortable using a working machine. My troubleshooting skills and understanding of the stuff "under the surface" are what's sadly lacking.
In summary, I'm looking for a reference site that is current, in depth enough to be of use in comparing computers and recognizing what's of value to me, yet simple enough for a non-techie to comprehend. Also, I'm looking to figure out what makes a computer appropriate for the specific tasks I'll be using it for. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks!!
http://www.hardware-revolution.com/ might be a good one to look at. It's geared more towards a machine builder, but as long as you're willing to go into detail on each component, you should be more than knowledgable by the time you're done.

But a lot of the terms thrown out there are marketing. There are few computers out there for you to buy that won't be good for you. I assume you want a computer for basic needs since most people who want a specific purpose box usually know stuff about them (simply because they find them fascinating).

In a bowl, place the chicken wings, add all the marinade ingredients, mix well and keep aside for 1/2 hour.
In a shallow pan, add all the sauce ingredients, mix well.
Deep fry the chicken pieces in heated oil until evenly brown; remove and drain off the excess oil.
Heat the sauce until bubbly, stir in the chicken pieces; turn the pieces and simmer on a low heat until all the chicken pieces are well coated with the sauce.
