American Idol's Jordin Sparks Reveals 50-Pound Weight Loss on the Cover of Shape Magazine
The Internet was abuzz last summer when American Idol Season 6 winner Jordin Sparks took to Twitter to reveal her newly-toned physique. The star, who began working out with a trainer while on tour with the Jonas Brothers, looked better than ever after dropping three dress sizes and an estimated 30 pounds!
But the songstress didn't stop there. Just over a year later, Jordin has unveiled a whopping 50-pound weight loss on the cover of Shape Magazine's August 2012 issue.
Opening up on the details of her makeover, Jordin explains: "I was barely working out, and my diet was a mess. [...] I remember thinking, 'I'm in my prime. I should be happy and fit.' That was the moment I decided that changes needed to be made." Immediately after, Jordin joined a gym, took up Zumba, and overhauled her diet to include tons of fresh fruits, veggies, and lean protein.
Clearly, her plan is working — the girl is looking drop-dead gorgeous! No wonder boyfriend Jason Derulo can't get enough!

The Auction

Work details
The Auction by Kitty Thomas
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This felt like a first edit rather than a completed story. The writing is fine, and the action is good but it left me with too many questions: why was there an auction? what was the point of it? and why did the aliens want the humans there? If it's revised, it might be a really good read.
Short story, but good. This is Kitty Thomas' first venture into "paranormal" as an alien "monster" purchases a human concubine from the city. The cultural differences between the two species takes a while for both of them to figure out.
In her novella The Auction, Kitty Thomas offers a new sci-fi twist to her dark erotica exploring Master/slave relationships. This is the story of Belle, a young woman living on an alien planet at some point in the future. In her society, women are treated as property and auctioned as slaves soon after their 18th birthday. Women with wealthy families or friends are often bought and immediately given their freedom. Belle was not so lucky. Her parents were killed by the "monsters" that live outside their city. Since then she's worked hard to secure her freedom after the auction by giving sexual favors to a few of the rich young men, especially one who has promised to buy her and let her go.
Belle's dreams of freedom are crushed when the winning bidder of her auction turns out to be one of the dragon-like monsters from beyond the city walls. She is both terrified and aroused as he takes her away to be his slave. Master, as she is to call him, looks like a man, though much larger with reddish skin and wings. His brother called Sir is similar looking except with bluish skin. Belle quickly learns that their culture is quite different than hers. Brothers share mates because they believe it strengthens the family. While Master is her owner, she is also Sir's plaything.
The Auction is a compelling look at Belle's journey to accepting her submissive nature. Though she struggles with her feelings, she can't deny the thrilling affect Master and Sir's dominance has on her. The story is told in first person so we're able to experience Belle's internal conflicts and emotions with her. Master and Sir were very unique characters - the first actual monsters for Kitty Thomas, and not just in a figurative sense. We didn't get to know them quite as much as Belle, but I'm glad the author put more focus on her given the shorter nature of novellas.
I really enjoyed the new direction that Kitty Thomas took with The Auction. The futuristic, other-worldly setting drew me in, though the sci-fi elements did not overshadow the story. She remained true to her exploration of the Master/slave dynamic, and she more than delivered on the kinky, D/s sex scenes. Yes, the non-consensual element is strong, but as in all of Ms. Thomas' books, it's tastefully done and is an important part of her character's sexual awakening. The Auction is a shorter novella at about 20,000 words. Fans of BDSM erotica should not miss it!

San Onofre studies wait for answers
Plant operator wants utility customers to pay for safety inquiry
New seismic and tsunami studies remain on hold at the seaside San Onofre nuclear power plant north of San Diego as regulators decide if utility customers should pay for the entire project and whether additional oversight is necessary.
Plant operator Southern California Edison is asking that utility customers, not shareholders, fund a $64 million study that would survey faults near the San Onofre plant using three-dimensional mapping tools also used for oil and gas exploration.
Edison enlarged the scope of its study in reaction to damage at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant from the magnitude-9 quake off northeastern Japan on March 11, 2011, and the tsunami that followed.
A 2008 California Energy Commission report looking at California's two nuclear plants found that San Onofre could experience larger and more frequent earthquakes than the maximum magnitude-7 temblor predicted when the plant was designed.
The dual-reactor plant is not necessarily unsafe, because it was built to withstand greater jostling than predicted and is not known to be located on top of a major fault. There are, however, significant faults near the plant, including hidden "blind" thrust faults.
San Onofre's two reactors are built to withstand a peak ground acceleration of 0.67 times the force of gravity, on a scale used for building codes and design risk.
Plant officials say a 7.0 earthquake on the long-dormant Cristianitos Fault, five miles from the plant, would generate peak ground acceleration of about 0.35 G-forces.
"The $64 million is supposed to buy you peace of mind … and tell you whether that plant is built to withstand the seismic footprint," said Rochelle Becker, executive director of the Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility.
California's offshore geology makes it far less prone to tsunamis than Japan. Edison believes San Onofre is adequately protected by a 30-foot tsunami wall, citing state estimates that say the largest conceivable tsunamis would be less than 23 feet high.
The design basis for the Daiichi plant was a 19-foot tsunami, with the plant located 30 feet above sea level, according to the World Nuclear Association, an industry trade group. The tsunami height as it came ashore a year ago was estimated at 46 feet.
On Friday, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ordered safety changes for U.S. nuclear plants, including requirements they better assess earthquake risks and cope with incidents they were not initially designed to handle, such as prolonged power blackouts or damage to multiple reactors at the same time. Officials at San Onofre could not be reached immediately for comment.
Meanwhile, a host of environmental groups and civic activists plan to hold a rally outside the San Onofre plant this afternoon to mark the anniversary of the Japan tsunami and call attention to safety concerns at the local installation in North County.
Radiation still leaks from the now-closed Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, where 100,000 people have been evacuated from a 12-mile no-go zone.
Advocates for Southern California utility customers are urging state regulators to place a cap on the cost of the San Onofre quake study at $64 million, over objections of Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric, which owns a 20 percent stake in the facility.

IT'S OFFICIAL. Iraq had no chemical, biological or nuclear weapons when the US and its allies invaded last year. After 18 months of searching, a team of CIA experts led by Charles Duelfer has concluded that a combination of UN weapons inspections and sanctions put paid to Saddam Hussein's arsenals and production plants years before Operation Iraqi Freedom.
This has left arms control experts in a quandary. Through the 1990s, Iraq was a test case for the traditional approach to stopping a totalitarian and ruthless regime acquiring weapons of mass destruction. The US and the UK went to war after deciding the approach had failed. As we now know, it didn't fail. It worked - up to a point. What we do not know is whether weapons inspections and economic sanctions would have permanently disarmed Saddam without the need for force.
It is a crucial question. The world has to ...

After spending 14 months in exile, India is back in the Olympic fold. The ban on Indian Olympic Association (IOA) was revoked by International Olympic Committee's executive board's decision on Tuesday. The decision comes just two days after IOA conducted fresh elections in presence of senior IOC officials. World Squash Federation president N Ramachandran was elected president during the elections on Sunday, with Rajeev Mehta as the general secretary and Anil Khanna as treasurer.
The IOC delegation, headed by senior member Robin Mitchell, submitted report upon reaching Sochi on Monday. Satisfied with the process, the IOC treated the issue on priority basis and since all the executive board members were present in Sochi, an ad-hoc meeting was convened on Tuesday morning, where the decision to end IOA's exile from the Olympic fold was taken.
"We observed IOA's general assembly on Sunday and are happy with the changes. Our prerequisite to keep convicted or charge-framed persons out have been adhered to. Hence, it was decided to revoke the ban with immediate effect," IOC spokesperson Mark Adams said on Tuesday.
Tri-colour raised in sochi
To mark the lifting of suspension, the IOC held a special ceremony to raise the tri-colour at the Olympic Village in Sochi. The Indian athletes at the Sochi Games will now be allowed to compete under the national flag. The three-member Indian contingent marched under the Olympic flag during the opening ceremony on Friday.
The IOA has been on collision course with its parent body ever since December 2012. The IOC said India failed to comply with its statutes, relating specifically to good governance, and hence was banned from the Olympic movement. Consequently, IOA was not entitled to exercise any activity or right, including financial support, conferred upon it by the IOC.
The IOC also objected to the presence of tainted officials in the new administration, particularly opposing the appointment of Lalit Bhanot as the secretary general. Bhanot was one of the key accused in the Commonwealth Games corruption scandal and served close to nine months in prison. Abhay Singh Chautala, who was elected president in the polls which were declared null and void, too was forced to step aside as there are cases pending against him.
Clean up
The suspension proved to be a blessing in disguise as it provided an opportunity to clean up the mess within. The IOA, which was pilloried for lack of transparency and dishing out step-motherly treatment towards the athletes, was made to incorporate several changes in its constitution. The sports ministry proposed sports code, which brings it under the ambit of RTI, has been implemented without any opposition and an independent ethics committee has also been formed.
Randhir Singh, an IOC member from India and the secretary general of Olympic Council of Asia, insisted that the country is better placed now, than it was two years ago.
"The biggest lesson we have learnt from this episode is that tainted officials have no place. The IOA needs to be an athlete-friendly organisation and under the leadership of Ramachandran, I hope that …continued »

By Jack Blood
For almost a year and a half I have been in the loop on a most fantastic story involving the Herculean investigative reporting of Chris Emery, Holland Van den Nieuwenhof and crew from www.okcbombing.net
As hard as it was, I kept quiet and off the record, as the team investigated an angle of the 911 terrorist attack of 2001 which had Mohamed Atta (pictured right) and five of his alleged hijackers in Oklahoma City just days before 911, drunk, boisterous and brawling — Not a Koran, or prayer rug in site.
Last week – July 2008, they had reached the end of their investigation, and impenetrable walls of resistance prohibited them from going any further. Last Friday July 19th 2008 the Emery team decided to go public on my syndicated radio show, DEADLINE LIVE w/ Jack Blood. The result of which has sent shockwaves throughout the 911 truth community.
For the safety of all involved, the witnesses wish to remain anonymous until such time they can be guaranteed protection. All of the witnesses have given signed affidavits to Chris Emery. Documentation of the facts and evidence has been tucked away in safe houses in the USA and Canada. The evidence will later be released to Network Media, and the proper authorities.
The story started as the team was continuing their exhaustive research into the OKC Bombings of 1995. Almost accidentally they ran into witness after witness wanting to report that… Continue reading
Latest Findings Raise New Questions about Hijackers and Suggest Incomplete Investigation
A contributor to the History Commons has obtained a 298-page document entitled Hijackers Timeline (Redacted) from the FBI, subsequent to a Freedom of Information Act request. The document was a major source of information for the 9/11 Commission's final report. Though the commission cited the timeline 52 times in its report, it failed to include some of the document's most important material.
The printed document is dated November 14, 2003, but appears to have been compiled in mid-October 2001 (the most recent date mentioned in it is October 22, 2001), when the FBI was just starting to understand the backgrounds of the hijackers, and it contains almost no information from the CIA, NSA, or other agencies. This raises questions as to why the 9/11 Commission relied so heavily on such an early draft for their information about the hijackers.
CooperativeTimeline.org has posted new information from the "Hijackers Timeline," recently released by the FBI. Links to the full FBI documents are at the end of the article, (which also contains many links to other Timeline entries in the original announcement, at the source).
In addition, the 90-page "Charge Sheet" (see also press release 2/11/08, "Sept. 11 Co-Conspirators Charged") conveys an enormous amount of information relating to the hijackers for a significant period of time before, and on, September 11th.
For an event this government has said "no one could have… Continue reading

Featured DVD Review: Flowers in the Attic
April 13th, 2014
Flowers in the Attic started out as a book in 1979 and was first turned into a movie in 1987. This movie earned poor reviews, but did okay business at the box office, mainly because of the controversial nature of the book. Earlier this year, the film was released as a TV movie on Lifetime and brought in more than 6 million viewers to the channel, something none of their original movies from 2013 were able to accomplish. On the other hand, Lifetime's original movies don't exactly have a great reputation and there is already one bad movie based on the book, so my expectations are not exactly high. Is this film a good surprise? Or should I have lowered my expectations more?
The Movie
The film takes place in the 1950s begins with a voice-over by Cathy, who talks about the color yellow symbolizing hope and how as kids they didn't have hope. (We are also shown the inside of a now deserted house and an attic.) We then flash back to the beginning of the story when Cathy's family, the Dollangangers, were happy. There was her father, Christopher, Sr.; her mother, Corrine; her older brother, Christopher, Jr.; and her young twin siblings, Carrie and Cory. The father is a traveling salesman, so when he returns the family is very excited. He just got a promotion and this is great news, except for Cathy. She's already upset that she doesn't get to see her father enough as it is.
We next see the family preparing for the father's birthday. They are all dressed up in their fanciest clothing, and lots of guests arrive, but the father is late. When they think he finally arrived, it is instead a police officer there to tell them there's been an accident. We flash forward a bit and the family is falling behind on the bills. As a 1950s wife, Corrine doesn't have a lot of marketable skills to help her get a job and the family is deeply in debt. When she's desperate enough, she contacts her parents. Christopher and Cathy didn't even know they had grandparents, because Corrine's parents disowned her and she never spoke of them. But now they've agreed to let her live with them again. (At least that's what she told the children.) The good news is, Corrine's parents are extremely wealthy. The bad news is, they have to leave tonight and they'll have to leave their old life behind, including their old name. Their last name isn't really Dollanganger, it's Foxworth, although Corrine uses a different name on the train.
When they get to the train station to get to Corrine's parents' place, Corrine tells the kids they have to walk. At this point, Cathy is sure something strange is happening, but Christopher still has faith in his mother. When they arrive, Corrine's mother, Olivia, lets them in, but is less than kind about it. With all of the secrets Corrine was keeping from her children, there's one more. Corrine's father doesn't know they are there. Corrine was written out of her father's will when she was 18 and she needs to reconnect with her father before he dies to get her inheritance. She claims it will only take a few days, maybe a week at most. However, she's lied many times in the past.
That is enough of the setup and what happens after that begins to get into spoiler territory.
Flowers in the Attic is based off of a very salacious story and any group of filmmakers that decide to tackle this subject have two options to go with. One, treat it with the utmost respect and try and make an award-worthy movie, which would be hard and likely still fail, because the original novel isn't award-worthy. Or two, go for some serious camp and make an over-the-top movie. There's a third option, do neither and create a competently made, but very dull movie. They choose the third option. I've never read the book, but I've read reviews that complain about the weak dialogue, and that is certainly the case with this movie. Weak dialogue hurts the acting, as the cast has very little to work with. Ellen Burstyn is menacing, but in a rather one-note way. If you were to be kind, Mason Dye is stoic, or to be more accurate, rather dull. (It's only his third role, so I don't know if it is the writing, directing, or the acting that is at fault here.) Heather Graham's performance is rather empty, but that does fit the character. Only Kiernan Shipka comes across as empathetic enough to care about. As for the ending, the movie just sort of ends. There's no real climax here (the big escape is certainly not exciting enough to be called a climax) and the movie ends on a voice over. They did this because there are four more books in the series and they are already working on the sequel. So there couldn't be closure, but this further hurt the film.
The Extras
The only extra on the DVD is a 13-minute behind-the-scenes featurette.
The Verdict
Flowers in the Attic takes a salacious story and turns it into a well-made, but ultimately dull and pointless movie. There are not enough extras on the DVD to compensate, but if you really liked the book, perhaps it is still worth a rental.

Coventry Blaze come to the Dome, this Sunday, to start the Metros' new season.
Phoenix Season Ticket holders get the same deal as last season: ALL the Metros' home games are included in the deal.
In a strange quirk of a click of the fixture planner's mouse, Metros v Blaze was the final fixture of last season. In a game that could have gone either way, the Blaze got the winner in a 3 - 2 encounter quite late in the match If we get a match like that (with a Proper Result!) you should see a cracking game.
Come down, get your early season hockey fix and cheer the re-vamped Metros into winning ways.
Usual face-off: 5.15pm with doors at 4.35.

"Alla Moderna is an ensemble founded in 2007 by Dmitry Badiarov.
The group consists of musicians who have shared the utmost joy of playing together and are all renowned performers in the early music field. The name of the group derives from Bartolomeo Bismantova's Compendio Musicale (Ferrara 1677/1694), where he refers to Violoncello da Spalla Alla Moderna.
The history unveils that the early cello was frequently, if not predominantly, played on the shoulder when, in the 17th Century, it was still a 'modern' instrument. The group intends to perform the earliest violoncello repertory with instruments and voices using such a violoncello da spalla and other innovative bowed instruments re-created by the founder.

"Stile Antico is an ensemble of young British singers, now established as one of the most original and exciting new voices in its field. Prizewinners at the 2005 Early Music Network International Young Artists' Competition, the group is much in demand in concert and records exclusively for Harmonia Mundi. Their debut disc Music for Compline drew ecstatic reviews, winning the Diapason d'Or de l'année, the Choc du Monde de la Musique, and attracting a nomination for the 50th GRAMMY awards.

"The Squair Mile Consort of Viols, formed in 1992, regularly gives concerts in Edinburgh, Glasgow and further afield in Scotland. It is dedicated to the great music composed for the viola da gamba (viol) from the 16th to the late 17th century - music for between two and seven viols by composers such as William Byrd, John Dowland, Orlando Gibbons, John Jenkins, William Lawes and Henry Purcell, as well as songs for one voice and viols, music for viols and pipe organ and solo music by the French composers Sainte-Colombe and Marin Marais.

"Charivari Agréable is recognized as 'one of the classiest baroque bands' (The Observer), and 'certainly one of the most original and versatile groups on the Early Music scene today' (Hexachord), whose musical 'intuitions are always captivating' (Goldberg). The group has been hailed for its 'thinking musicians who treat music of the past more creatively' via their arrangements of music, 'based on a greater knowledge of the historical and social contexts for the music'. They represent 'a new and very exciting phase of the early music revival, one that enriches the existing repertory and can bring us ever closer to the spirit of the original music' (Gramophone).
Under the artistic direction of Susanne Heinrich and the musical leadership of Kah-Ming Ng, the ensemble specializes in the ingenious use of period instruments to produce 'ravishing sonorities and full-bodied textures' (Gramophone) with 'their powerful cohesion, warm sound, and their eloquent authority' (Diapason). The group has 'carved something of a niche for itself in imaginative and well-thought-out programming'; 'its work is the fruit of both scholarly research and charismatic musicianship, a combination that puts it at the forefront of period-instrument ensembles' (BBC Music Magazine). With a chronological remit spanning epochs from the Renaissance to the early classical, the ensemble appears in many guises, from a continuo band (accompanying the recitals of such artists as Emma Kirkby, John Holloway and Simon Standage), a viol consort, and an Elizabethan mixed consort, to a baroque orchestra and many other surprising - yet historical - combinations.

"Ensemble Telemania takes its name from the German baroque composer, Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767) and is a baroque chamber music ensemble specialising in the performance of 17th and 18th century repertoire on period instruments.
Concert appearances have included: Charlton House, Waltham Abbey Church, St. Hilda's College Oxford, The Town Church in St.Peter Port Guernsey, The Foundling Museum, Southwark Cathedral and the Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields. In May 2006, Ensemble Telemania won the Ella Kidney prize for Early Music at Trinity College of Music, London. " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

"Founder and artistic director, Lisette Kielson, presents L'Ensemble Portique as a rare ensemble in today's chamber music genre. Its conception emerged from Lisette's passion for playing Baroque and contemporary music on the recorder and flute. Its name was inspired by the sculpture "Portique" designed and crafted by her grandmother, internationally renowned artist Madeleine Stanley-Jossem. Two forms of steel interlaced with silver stand boldly apart, creating an opening, a gateway, yet both are connected to the solid base that supports and unites them. "Portique" is the visual representation of L'Ensemble Portique's mission to explore the independence and interdependence of the distinct and separate musical worlds of early and contemporary music. Lisette's vision of integrating the two provides the guiding force behind this unique ensemble. " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

"Based in Montreal, Ensemble Caprice, under the artistic direction of Matthias Maute and Sophie Larivière, is renowned for its innovative interpretations of baroque music. Originally formed in Germany in 1986, the ensemble continues to give concerts in Europe and has appeared at the Vlaanderen Festival in Bruges, Belgium, the Netwerk-Reihe of the Organisatie voor Oude Muziek in The Netherlands, the International Recorder Symposium in Stuttgart, the Recorder Festival in Stockstadt, and the Ancient Music Rencontres in Heidelberg. During 2005, the ensemble made its U.S. debut at the Boston Early Music Festival concert series and recently completed a successful tour of the West Coast and New England. The ensemble will tour Israel in the Fall of 2006 and plans are underway for a visit to Japan in 2007. Closer to home in Canada, the ensemble has its own concert series at Redpath Hall in Montreal and was recently nominated for the Conseil Québécois de la Musique's prestigious Prix Opus award in three different categories, including best early music concert and CD. A new recording featuring the music of Fux, Caldera and Badia will be released on the ATMA Classique label during 2006. " Visit website for more information. (ed)

"Ensemble Vermillian was founded to explore the potential for color and texture possible in transcribing the virtuosic repertoire of the seventeenth and eighteenth century for recorder, cello and continuo. Based in Davidson, North Carolina, and Berkeley, California the members of EV, sisters Frances Blaker (recorders) and Barbara Blaker Krumdieck (Baroque cello) joined by Katherine Heater (harpsichordist and organist) have traveled to meet, research, rehearse and perform together since 2000. The ensemble is expanded to include other musicians depending on the project at hand. Viola da gambist Elisabeth Reed joined Ensemble Vermillian for the two-CD Stolen Jewels project.
Having studied at conservatories in Denmark, the Netherlands, Ohio and Indiana, the performers blend their approach to the music to create a sound which inspired one audience member to write, "A beautiful performance. The chemistry between you is special."
EV explores less-familiar repertoire from the 17th and 18th centuries and makes it their own through transcription for their particular instruments. The very special group chemistry that these players create together makes for compelling performances, both for the audience and the performers. The combination of music research and vibrant performance are what make Ensemble Vermillian stand out from the crowd. " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

"Since their acclaimed debut in 1992, Sirinu have established a reputation at the cutting edge of Early and World music performance. Their first national tour was the most successful in the history of the Early Music Network and they have since undertaken extensive tours all over Europe, as well as British Council tours in Turkey, Egypt and South America. Sirinu have a particular interest in rural South American music and have performed at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall as guests of the Bolivian group Rumillajta.
Sirinu's innovative programmes offer musical journeys through some of the world's great cultural melting-pots, with themes including the Spanish invasion of South America, the epic voyage around the world of the Tudor adventurer Francis Drake and the Mexican Day of the Dead. Combining a staggering array of instruments with elements of theatre, ritual and dance, their extrovert performances and meticulous research have won critical acclaim and rapturous receptions from audiences around the world.
The four members of Sirinu – Sara Stowe (soprano/keyboards), Henry Stobart (recorders/wind instruments), Matthew Spring (lutes, early plucked/hurdy-gurdy) and Jon Banks (harp, gittern, percussion) – perform not only on their principal instruments but also, depending on the programme, a great number of less orthodox European and ethnic instruments. As imaginative and natural communicators their performances guarantee a freshness and variety of approach in which they capture the excitement of the most concentrated formative periods of musical history.

" The vocal group "Schola Cantorum Riga" was founded in 1995 as a unique ensemble focused on authentic interpretation of ancient music, especially Gregorian chants. It has developed into a group with a varied and wide repertory. One of its main professional goals is to perform music at a high artistic and professional level, which is reflected in great many concerts in Latvia and abroad, as well as in regular recordings.
Nowadays "Schola Cantorum Riga" mainly performs medieval music, but also turns to interpretation of compositions of contemporary Latvian composers.
The singers of the group are professional musicians or music students who all have one thing in common – their passion for ancient music and desire to perform it following the latest trends in the field of authentic interpretation of ancient music. There is a special interest in performing the Gregorian chants and other medieval music. The group performs a Gregorian choral building it on interpretation references of Neumatic Notations, as well as the latest research in the field of semiology. The programs are mostly performed by male singers. For specific projects the membership of the group is enlarged and female singers are invited to join in to perform compositions for a mixed group of singers. " Visit website for more information.

"The Rose Consort of Viols takes its name from the celebrated family of viol makers, whose work spanned the growth and flowering of the English consort repertoire. With its unique blend of intimacy, intricacy, passion and flamboyance, this music ranges from Taverner and Byrd, to Lawes, Locke and Purcell, forming the basis of the Rose Consort's programmes, which may also include singers, lutes and keyboard instruments. The Rose Consort has received awards for its research and performance of newly devised programmes, some of which have been toured on the Early Music Network, and has also commissioned and performed new pieces for voices and viols by Malcolm Bruno, Elizabeth Liddle and Ivan Moody.

"Phantasm was founded in 1994 by Laurence Dreyfus, who dreamed of forming a viol consort embodying the highest artistic standards. Inspired by the great twentieth-century string quartets, Phantasm have championed a bold and passionate style of consort playing which does full justice to its magnificent repertoire.
The international members of the quartet (from Britain, Finland and the US) all trained on modern instruments, but were drawn to the viol consort because of the dazzling sonority of the ensemble and the independence of lines cultivated by the complex polyphony. Specialising in music from the 16th to the 18th centuries, the quartet have been applauded across the globe for their moving performances, which embrace the eloquent fantasies of Byrd and Gibbons, the magical works of Lawes and Purcell, even new arrangements of Bach and Mozart.

"Formed in 2002, Pantagruel have been delighting audiences across Europe with their semi-staged performances of renaissance music. Hannah Morrison's pure and sweet voyce combined with citterns, gitterns, lutes and flutes played by Dominik Schneider & Mark Wheeler bring to life the passionate music of a distant age.
Pantagruel, the hero of Francois Rabelais's 1532 Novel, with his motto "do what thou wilt" is the fitting name for an ensemble that is not afraid to explore innovative ideas of performance and presentation. Combining painstaking musicological research with their experience in classical music, rock music, jazz, theatre and dance, their performances expand classical concert conventions by using renaissance practices of medley, improvisation and gesture " Visit website for more information.

"Obsidienne, a vocal and instrumental ensemble conducted by Emmanuel Bonnardot, wishes to keep the medieval and renaissance repertoire alive in a simple, natural way, thus reconciling the art of performing and that of improvising music.
In a happy relation to poetry, theater and dance, often approaching contemporary, traditional or song repertoires, the ensemble keeps researching into forgotten or neglected works, and endeavouring to reconstruct the medieval instrumentarium, inspired in its work by the paintings of the Middle Ages' greatest masters.
Obsidienne sometimes splits into smaller groups, allowing more specialized, more intimate and more personal work. At its full strength, with up to 16 musicians, the ensemble offers a powerful sound, in which soloists and choir alternate, a must in interpreting the great medieval repertoire. Obsidienne owe their longevity to their versatility and to the variety of their performances, which enabled them to reach exceptional musical quality. " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

"Beguiling and intelligent, provocative and classic, ravishingly beautiful and deliciously edgy – The Newberry Consort has been delighting audiences for nearly three decades. Directed by David Douglass, Newberry Musician-in-Residence, and early music diva Ellen Hargis, the ensemble plumbs the Newberry Library's vast music collection and assembles a star-studded roster of local and international artists to bring you world-class performances of music from the 13th to the 18th centuries…and occasionally beyond!
Affiliated with the Newberry Library Center for Renaissance Studies, the Consort also serves as an ensemble-in-residence at both the University of Chicago and Northwestern University. In addition to an annual concert series in Chicago, the Consort has an active touring schedule. This season, traveling to several cities across the US, the Consort will offer two popular programs: Beautiful Dreamer: Music of Lincoln's America and Fair Oriana: an Early Film with Early Music, featuring an Elizabethan score to accompany Sarah Bernhardt's 1912 silent film Elizabeth I."

Musica Fiata was founded in 1976 as an ensemble specializing in the performance of 16th and 17th century music on historical instruments.
An intensive study of performance-practice sources, playing techniques and original instruments of the period has enabled the group to develop a speech-based musical style and a distinctive sound which lends a transparency to the most dense textures.
Musica Fiata's exciting, virtuosic performances have resulted in invitations to leading festivals such as Ravenna, Innsbruck, Flanders, Utrecht, Brügge, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Venice, Herne, Berlin, York, Ansbach, Graz, Breslau, Malmo and Israel as well as radio and television recordings throughout Europe. Musica Fiata has recorded 30 CD's to date for Sony Classical, Deutsche Harmonia Mundi and CPO. "

"Les Muffatti came into being to satisfy the need felt by several young Brussels musicians — with an eye to performing Baroque orchestral repertoire — to establish a professional working environment where the basic pleasure of music-making, the refinement of skills, and the investigation of content could be equably combined. Their enthusiasm, application and idealism resonated with Baroque specialist Peter van Heyghen, who joined the ensemble as permanent coach and conductor. They presented their debut concert in Brussels in 2004, and have since performed in Belgium, The Netherlands, France, Germany, Italy and Portugal. They have appeared numerous times in the Concertgebouw in Bruges, at the Musica Sacra festival in Maastricht, and at the renowned Early Music festivals in Bruges and Utrecht. Between 2007 and 2009 they will be one of the ensembles in residence at the Augustinus Music Centre in Antwerpen.
The ensemble's name refers to the cosmopolitan composer Georg Muffat (1653-1704), a key figure in the orchestra's history, and one of the first writers to describe in detail the great stylistic differences between French and Italian Baroque music. Les Muffatti's first recording was devoted to the works of this composer. "

"It's not an ensemble of harps, but rather the combination of one early harp with singers, lutes, baroque guitars, viols, violins, early flutes, shawms, bagpipes and percussion: anything from a medieval trio to a baroque orchestra.
Our repertoire contrasts folk dances and the highest art music; medieval song, renaissance consorts and baroque operas. Rhythm, dance and improvisation are to the fore.
And, by the way, we don't just play dance-music. Guitarist Steven Player brings historical dance-steps to life with rhythmic footwork and improvised choreographies. " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

"Like so many of the best things in life, the birth of Gothic Voices came about almost by accident. Back in 1980 Christopher Page was asked by the BBC to put together a programme of plainchant by the 12th century Abbess Hildegard of Bingen. Record producer Ted Perry tuned in to that broadcast and it so impressed him that he set up what was to become one of the best-selling recordings of pre-classical music ever made: A Feather on the Breath of God — Hymns and Sequences by Abbess Hildegard of Bingen. Since that time, Gothic Voices has recorded a further twenty CDs on the Hyperion label, three of which have won the coveted Gramophone Magazine Award. " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

I love M&S especially the Coffee Shop. However I was at the Mery Hill, Dudley branch this evening where I ordered a Hot Chocolate. The man in front of me had two Latte s and I noticed the assistant put two of the christmas tree shape shortbread biscuits on each of his saucers. Thinking this was a nice geasture for christmas I looked forward to mine but I was only given one! I asked her why she was giving two to the men but only one to the women whereby she gave me another. This was not the point we should be treated equally this is discrimination. I noticed the lady behind me was only given one biscuit until I pointed out to her that the men get two. She said if anyone deserved an extra biscuit it was the women, we do most of the planning, shopping etc where the men just tag along. This may seem a very trival thing when you consider other major issues, but it really annoyed me.ReplyDeleteReplies

I love M&S, and have done so for decades. I actually have two Tshirts that are at least 25 years old and the quality is superb and the styling undated! My only comment is that, oerhaps because I am old .. 72 .. I dont like the piped music. We used to be allowed to browse in silence but if we have to have music, let it be a quiet burble in the background, please. The overwhelming majority of my wardrobe is M&S, so are a lot of my consumer durables and white goods. The food is scrumptious but for a pensioner, a little pricey.ReplyDelete

I was in the Greenock Branch whilst 4 tills were in operationReplyDelete
but there was a fair number of people queuing. Some people actually put their items back on the shelves rather than wait
for what seemed like ages. Nobody seemed capable of putting another till in operation for 10mins or so to deal with the situation. M&S have had a run of bad publicity over the last few months but with service like this it is no wonder. The staff on the tills were doing their best but they cannot be expected to push customers through like cattle. Managers need
to get on top of things a lot better and quicker. One reason
for the delay was that people were buying clothing etc which
was rather time-consuming as it had to be folded and have the
prices etc removed. They should be required to go to the clothing tills. I've never seen anybody taking groceries etc to the clothing tills but I think I'll try it next time I'm in the shop which isn't all that often because of this type of delay.

I took it back to a branch nearer to me and the assistant was very polite and said that yes she could get it removed but would I please wait a while as she had to go to the Monsoon shop next door to get this done.

Come what may, Please remain in Prayer and Thanksgiving for every day, as a day closer to the turnaround, ending and rebirth of Joy, freedom, employment, security and even nights of sleep that is not filled with worry and nightmares.

Please pray for my marriage. My husband and I are still in our first year; and I'm ready to walk away already. There's alcoholism and a lack of trying to work on our issues to make it better. I feel like he has all the say in everything he does and he disregards my need and desires for him to consider us and not just his wants. When I try to talk to him about the things that bother me, he's defensive, starts answering my question with a question, stops talking altogether and makes smart comments; Then I get upset and frustrated and we end up arguing. We make absolutely no progress on anything. He refuses to give up his single ways and be totally committed to our marriage. I've prayed and prayed and talked and talked until I have nothing left to give. I can't take it anymore. I feel like I made a mistake getting married and I don't have the strength to try anymore. Please help.

How Blessed we are to have the Prayer Wall and WFCJ as partners in Prayer, Trust and Faith in GOD to see us through. I Pray that everyone will take just a moment to Thank GOD for what he is doing in our lives, situations, issues, troubles, problems, worries and stress. We may not see it immediately, but I can feel GOD's Holy Presence with us all. My many issues, worries and hardships should have killed me by now. The stress and worry alone, not to mention the catastrophic losses that I have experienced: My home, employment, transportation, friends and peace of mind inclusive are all gone. I have not slept at night for more than three to four hours in over two years from the constant worry and fears; But somehow, I get up every day, give the day and every task my best, remembering to Thank GOD for what I still have and for the turn around that is to come: The return to career-employment, having a home and transportation, peace of mind and nights of rest and sleep, not worry and fear..I just Thank GOD for every day being a day closer to my Blessings and the rebuilding of my life. GOD, Bless the many others who have so much, so many concerns that life seems empty and void of happiness, peace and joy. GOD can and GOD will see us through. Just hold on and Pray. Act in Faith and Trust and know that not one of us is alone in our hardships.....Amen.

Nintendo aims for older crowd with DSNovember 19, 2004
You could have placed an advance order at a participating retailer, shown up the store at a civilized hour and returned home rested, refreshed and ready for game excitement. Or you could sit outside the Sony Metreon retail complex here for more than 36 hours--some of them during heavy rain--for the chance to buy a single unit of the magical gadget at 12:01 a.m. PT Thursday.
"It's fun," he said, noting that he also received a fair amount of attention four years ago for being first in line to buy a PS2. "It's my 15 minutes of fame," he said. "You don't get on CNN for putting in a preorder at GameStop."
Roth and hundreds of other dedicated consumers camped outside the Metreon--one of a handful of locations to stay open past midnight Wednesday to begin selling PSPs the minute that Thursday's North American retail date arrived--were convinced it was worth whatever discomfort they had to endure to snag one of the gadgets.
Kaz Hirai, president of Sony Computer Entertainment America, said the company pulled all the strings it could to make sure there were 1 million PSPs ready for the North American launch. "It's a huge number of units for a product like this," he said. The PlayStation 2 living room console, by contrast, arrived in North America with just 500,000 units.
A big launch is important to Sony, Hirai said, but the company is also managing inventory to ensure a steady flow of PSPs to stores. "We don't want to go dry for two months," he said
Keisler Nunez of San Francisco said he's a dedicated partisan for the living room version of the PlayStation and knew he had to have a PSP as soon as he saw one in action.
"I've played with a few other handhelds, but this really takes the cake," Nunez said. "PlayStation has the games I like, and now I'm going to be able to take them with me wherever I go."
Even gamers with more ecumenical tastes were ready for the PSP to rock their world. Moragot Bodharamik of San Francisco killed time

- Shameful how so many people grab up anything that is hyped and act like they did something heroic.
15 min of fame by buying something? Pathetic and sad.

- what's so popular about a portable?
- So what. Second, why the big deal about being able to carry around a game console?
Either these people waiting to buy it are morons, or CNET is confused.

- You're half right
- Yes, waiting in line to buy a game console is pretty idiotic. Especially with preorders available to everyone and anyone these days. But to each his own, right?
I'm afraid I don't understand your "why would you want to carry around a game system" point. Handheld gaming is a wonderful technology, and more than 120 million GameBoy sales over the past decade and a half bolster that point. The PSP is just another way to game on the go. When I'm out on business trips, I make sure I've always got at least one handheld system, especially if a protracted hotel stay is in order.

- I see
- So SI is "confused" because there are people who always want to grab the Swim Suit Edition. and those Auto Magazines are "confused" too because you don't understand why there are people spending big $$ for luxury cars......
And speaking of morons, I believe lots of people around the world are morons in your opinion, because they all carry some sort of handheld games (Nintendo Gameboy, GB Advance, GameBoy SP, DS, SONY PSP, and so on :))
