Star watching on the night included the likes of James Cameron, Kate Winslet and Billy Zane. As a re-launch in 3-D goes this one was quite spectacular.

Being brought up watching Western films, I've always loved the music that defined the genre. There's a great passion and magnificent imagery that comes with it. Imagine my delight when I first heard the Spaghetti Western Orchestra bringing the music to life.
I love how the band captures the spirit of the music, with great musicianship and then combined with perfect comic timing. A highlight of the performance is the use of hilarious sound effects, including cornflakes, coat hangers and bicycle pumps to recreate music from including The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in The West and many more.
With over 100 instruments in the Orchestra, we were happy to add to their ever expanding set up. With performances throughout the year, check out where the Magnificent Five are riding into a town near you.

Tilted The Origin of Love, the Mika's new album is said to combine elements of melodic classic pop that defined 70's and 90's. Mika has described his approach on the album to be more simplistic approach than his previous albums. However, this wasn't reflected in the percussion order! Were we sent everything from Djun Djun's, Conga's to our 4.3 Marimba.
I'm looking forward to hearing the final album and how our instruments contributed to his latest work.

Ever wondered what it would sound like if you combined Urban Artists Fazer, Ms Dynamite, Devlin and Skepta with the BBC Symphony Orchestra? If so, then Urban Classic is perfect for you.
Even though the combination of Urban Grime artists and an 85 piece orchestras aren't your traditional collaboration, it was an amazing success due to the conductor Jules Buckley, who had previously worked on the partnership of Basement Jazz with the Metropole Orchestra.
One highlight was the orchestra imitating a club DJ, when they quickly 'winded' the piece to the beginning of the piece, when someone shouted "rewind" halfway through the performance. Something you wouldn't hear at any other classical performance!

One of the most exciting movies coming out this year comes in the shape of Prometheus the Alien Prequel. I never thought Ridley Scott would ever revisit this movie but true to form it looks like he's come up with the goods yet again, re-establishing the Alien franchise once more.
Multiple Taiko's and loads of interesting percussion was used on this one even metal trash bins!

Lots of variation and rhythmic pulses required for this to get those sparkly, sequined dancers inspired and in the groove to give us their best performance.

This month we ventured in to the liberal thinking man's wonderland that is Holland to visit our good friends Majestic percussion. For those of you who aren't aware, Majestic are an internationally renowned supplier of top class professional marching and orchestral instruments as well as stocking a very competitive range of student options with everything in between.
They have come a long way from their humble beginnings back in 1921 to becoming one of the world's must have instrument manufacturers.
If you haven't considered a Majestic instrument before, we strongly advise you to take them into consideration. Their attention to detail and drive for customer satisfaction stand them head and shoulders above the rest. We went out to meet/greet and pick up a truck load of goodies.
We'd like to take this opportunity to thank them for their hospitality and hope to see them again soon.

A very special 80" Tam Tam was required for a very special day and a complete one-off not unlike Russian composer Sofia Gubaidulina, which out of sheer coincidence is her eightieth birthday, that's an inch for every year!
The LSO celebrated the occasion with a series of events at the Barbican and St Lukes which included an informal lunchtime concert presented by Rachel Leach with LSO principals David Alberman and Tim Hugh performing Gubaidulina's duo 'Rejoice' for violin and cello.
Also as part of the events was an open rehearsal for Gubaidulina's In tempus praesens with violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, as well as Shostakovich's Symphony No 10. Unlike other Open Rehearsals audience members had the opportunity to observe the conductor and Orchestra from the Stalls, giving a unique and more intimate insight into the workings of an LSO rehearsal.

As part of a program featuring two of the world's leading choreographers and one fast-rising star the Royal Ballet came together for some brilliant perfomances in contemporary dance.
We supplied some percussion for the final piece by Wayne McGregor resident choreographer of The Royal Ballet. Each year he has pushed the boundaries of dance, with the virtuoso technique of the Company as just a starting point for his fascinating and award-winning inventive collaborations. With pop and fashion as the theme, McGregor joined forces with Gareth Pugh, Mark Ronson and guest artists.
It was a fitting end for a programme that draws the classical and contemporary together in an explosion of today's brightest talents.

Who has the fastest hands in London? This is something we were mulling over recently and so we decided to run a competition to find out with the help of our friends from across the Atlantic WFD.

A very worthy winner was found in the shape of Luke Harrison who is now proud owner of a very lush Sonor Jungle kit.

Peter Gabriel's stunning performance with the New Blood Orchestra on Jools Holland's Later proved to be very inspirational on the night.
He's been described as a cultural innovator and this perfomance sees him reinventing his back catalogue classics like Solsbury Hill with the striking arrangements of the 46-piece Orchestra as featured on his latest album 'New Blood'.
The songs included here are a snapshot of his career to date including the powerful horns/strings led "Rhythm Of The Heat", the exquisite "Downside Up" (with additional vocals from his daughter Melanie) and the energising pulse of "Solsbury Hill" with its gloriously majestic trumpet counter melody as a finale.
We provided a celeste for this performance which I'm sure will go down as a pivotal moment in his career.

I love Roald Dahl's short stories and novels. I love his style of storytelling that takes you on a journey into the unknown generally with unexpected twists and turns. I also love the fact we got to supply a whole host of percussion for this much acclaimed production.
Roald Dahl's "Matilda" tells the story of the title character – a girl that has been blessed with extraordinary intellect from an early age. Having read all of the books in her house before the age of 5 she proceeds to the local library and reads all the children's books there, before moving on to school where her intellect continues to give her advantages and disadvantages. Then she discovers another gift – psychokinetic powers – which she is able to use to punish all of those that deserve it.
After wowing audiences at the Courtyard Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon "Matilda the Musical" is now running in the West End at the Cambridge Theatre courtesy of The Royal Shakespeare Company.

Wisdom and inspiration all in one evening courtesy of Ralph Salmins and Andy Leask. Ralph's versatility and groove have established him as drummer of choice for producers and composers worldwide and this evening showed us why he's so popular on the session circuit. His honest and open approach to his playing was inspiring in itself on the night providing us all with some very valuable lessons.
Andy's Moeller class was awesome, challenging and educational. In this masterclass he worked on the basics of the Moeller Method whilst breaking down and demystify this often misunderstood technique. Andy is one of the most sought after teachers in the business and has helped some great players become even greater.

A great turnout made for a terrific evening full of inspirational insight, advice, playing tips and playing from the busiest man in drum land!

The American Idol winner, who rose to fame nearly ten years ago, took charge of the stage and performed her single Mr. Know It All on the X Factor UK.
Not satisfied with just one drummer she decided to have a whole plethora of them banging out the beat in true marching band style. A whole load gear was needed for this gorgeous performance.
Here's her after show tweet: I just had such a fun time on X Factor in London!! Thank you to all of the "Extreme Rhythm" drummers, my band, and the production team! What a fun performance! All of the judges and the contestants I met were so sweet. I wish good luck to all of you!
"Oooh, we like the drumming!" One fan was heard saying after the show.

Fireworks are never far away when Gustavo (the Dude) Dudamel takes the baton in front of the Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra.
The ensemble is formed from pupils of Venezuela's El Sistema programme, an initiative that offers every child a free musical education, and the players have been performing together since childhood.
It is appropriate that their second visit should be for Mahler's Second Symphony. Not because the work is about the second coming, but because it is rooted in the sublimated theatricality on which the orchestra thrives.
Lots of percussion was supplied for this amazing performance including bass drums and gongs.
Tuesday, 2 August, 2011
Symphonica will be a new musical direction for George, fulfilling a long-cherished artistic ambition and a significant cultural exchange, not least since many of the concerts will take place in specially selected venues - the first time George has played such settings - in countries including Denmark, Switzerland, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Ireland and the UK.
According to organisers, the tour will see Michael perform "a carefully chosen selection of his songs", as well as "some of his favourite songs from other artists".
We recently had the privilege of supplying some percussion for the percussionist currently performing on this tour and will include 12 dates in the UK at the end of October.

Getting an 80" Gong and 60" Taiko Drum around Europe plus other major bits of percussion is a major feat in itself, but that's not all these magical people managed to pull off.
Israeli-born, British-based Shechter is composer and choreographer. His focus this time is the uneasy subjects of war, terrorism and political resistance, which are rarely tackled by any of the arts let alone dance.
Bringing the atmosphere of a rock concert, and brimming with the gritty and emotional complexity of Shechter's extraordinary dance work, Political Mother: The Choreographer's Cut gives audiences an experience like no other.
The Metro descibed it as a howling beast of a dance show, a take-no-prisoners assault on the senses that beats the drum for dance as a dirty punch in the guts. It will leave you reeling. Intense!
Thursday, 21 July, 2011
For an entire day the RCM resounded to the sound of drums, cymbals, marimbas and literally anything these talented percussionists could lay their hands/sticks/beaters on.

They will play several gigs next summer in their original line-up of Nick Banks, Jarvis Cocker, Candida Doyle, Steve Mackey, Russell Senior and Mark Webber. "I want the biggest one they've got!" said Jarvis apparently, which is where we fit in the picture. He is of course talking Bass Drums and they happily took our 36 incher. Can't wait to see them perform with it in Hyde Park!

The best ingredients are key to success in any great recipe and music is no different. The best equals the best even the gong we supplied introducing each course has to simply hit the spot.
The Great British menu is a hard fought for prestigeous BBC event in which the best of the best chefs from all around the UK compete against each other to win the ultimate prize of cooking at a special one off event. All courses were tasted and judged by Prue Leith, Matthew Fort and Oliver Peyton, how do they get through so much food?

Repeating patterns, often hammered out on marimbas and drums, are at the root of Reich's style. The weekend kicked off with Music for Pieces of Wood. Five players, five pitches, five wooden dowels and hammers, music of simple means and simple intoxication.
Having been involved in this festival in it's various guises over the years we were very proud to be a part of it again this time around.

As founder and former drummer of the Police, Stewart Copeland is familiar with adrenaline rushes and things that go "thump," just like the hero of his "The Tell-Tale Heart" at the Royal Opera House in London.
The new one-act opera is based on Edgar Allan Poe's gothic tale of 1843. A murderer believes he can hear the beating heart of his victim under the floorboards. It drives him wild, and eventually he shrieks to the police "I admit the deed! It is the beating of his hideous heart!"
Talking of things that go thump a Tama Gong drum was the order of the day here, it's not every day we asked for one of those but we obliged as usual.
Tuesday, 19 April, 2011

This joyous scene could only have hailed from Venezuela."

DC's December Darling: Jordan Crawford is 'Simply' Better Than Monta Ellis
[Editor's note: This is Mohamed Abdihakim's debut for TAI. Mohamed blogs at TheHoopDoctors.com and is an editor at Hoops-Nation.com. He is currently working toward a multimedia journalism degree from Florida Atlantic University. —Kyle W.]
82games.com has made available a certain simplified metric.
Belying otherwise extensive research, "Simple Rating" (SR) provides a relatively digestible look into a player's value on the court versus their positional counterpart. The values used in this rating are Production—"a variant of John Hollinger's PER"—and a plus/minus unit.
Most of the names on the list come as little surprise. Durant, James, Bryant, etc. But, scroll down for a minute and you'll see the Wizards' Jordan Crawford. Yes, his SR (last updated on Jan. 15, 2013) ranks below a ton of players—guards Paul, Parker, Conley, and Lillard to name a few—but, it's the names Crawford outranks that's most surprising: Steph Curry, Rajon Rondo, O.J. Mayo, and Monta Ellis.
Crawford's SR rating, plus-4.4, is higher than that of two elite point guards (plus-3.1 for Curry, plus-2.5 for Rondo) and two elite shooting guards (plus-1.9 for Mayo, plus-1.7 for Ellis), though Mayo is having an elite year. The Xavier product's production measure is at 16.2, while opposing players at the same position play with a production rating of 10 against him.
With per game averages of 14.8 points, 4.3 assists and 3.7 rebounds, Crawford has shown noticeable improvement this season. That's all good and well, but the question quickly becomes how did Crawford's SR rating outrank such elite names?
The production rating of 10 for guards opposing Crawford is particularly surprising. Consider this: Guards are putting in over 15 points of total offensive production against Rondo, a defender among the league's best. Is Crawford just shutting his defensive assignments down?
In the early stages of the season, opposing shooting guards seemed to outdo Crawford, one after the other. Monta Ellis poured in 22 points, five assists, five rebounds, and two steals to Crawford's eight points and two assists. Ben Gordon answered the D.C. guard's nine points with 19. Heck, Lance Stephenson and Kyle Korver outperformed Crawford in a largely unimpressive November for the second-year 2 guard.
Then, winter came around. All of a sudden, the Wiz were to be without another point guard. The loss of A.J. Price to injury, a hole at PG already noticeable sans Wall, left the Wizards with little to warm them against the frigid embrace of substandard basketball.
With Shaun Livingston as the only other viable option at PG, Crawford would see increased time at PG for the month of December.
Against Houston, Crawford played 39 minutes at point, adding six assists and eight rebounds to his 17 points. Against Atlanta, instead of getting lit up by Korver, Crawford would answer Jeff Teague's 13 points and six assists with a 27-11-11 triple-double, the second of Crawford's career. Against Golden State, Curry's 22 points and five assists stood pale against the Wiz guard's 22 points, eight assists, and seven rebounds. Curry's plus/minus was at minus-5, Crawford's at plus-3.
It starts to become clearer how Crawford's SR jumped above such recognizable names: For a whole month of basketball, he got to face (and torch) guards like Jeff Teague, Greivis Vazquez, Brandon Knight, and Jameer Nelson. Instead of dealing with, say, James Harden when he would go off for 31. Bradley Beal would draw that assignment, and finish with a plus/minus of minus-8. Crawford—dealt the, shall we say, "manageable" task of checking Jeremy Lin— finished at plus-3. Even when Crawford was kept at his SG role (with Livingston at PG), December saw him get outdone on just two instances, against Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade.
In his month of point guard play, Crawford's plus/minus was as high as plus-13. With the emphasis placed on that stat, along with general production on the court production, the uptick of Crawford's Simple Rating was justified.
Unfortunately for Crawford, the return of John Wall looks to upend all of that. With Wall returning, Crawford will be ceding some major playing time to rookie Bradley Beal, as the Wizards look to tinker with the explosive backcourt experiment.
But, boy, oh, boy … after winter averages of 19.1 points, 6.1 assists, and 5.1 rebounds, it was a December to remember for Jordan Crawford.

Don't forget how the replacements effect on/off numbers. Curry goes out and Jarrett Jack comes in. When Craw subbed out at the 1, it was for Shelvin Mack and Shaun Livingston.
The other guys backups aren't near All Star caliber players like Jack, but they're full time NBA players.
Craws allowed PER at the point is impressive, but often he wasn't tasked with the ball handler on D. Spot up shooters tend to have lower PERs than "creators"
I'm big on Crawford though. One of the biggest reasons I want Wittman out is that we have 3 guards capable of being deadly and a coach with a long history of mismanaging lineups, rotations and even skills (this is the guy who wanted Kevin Love to forget his dreams of shooting 3s, mind you).
People whine about Craw going ISO, but where is the coach? The veteran leadership? Is it impossible to run plays where Crawford comes clear on a screen or spots up after some action? Craw is a very solid midrange and corner3 shooter and seems to do well off the ball in the rare scenario when Wittman stumbles into a lineup and offense that maximizes his teams abilities to score. Seraphin may be mentally roasted after he many times he inexplicably found himself getting the ball 20 feet from the hoop early in the season.
I get not paying 3 coaches, but I really want somebody in here that seems to understand basketball before we start trading guys likeJan and Seraphin and Singleton when their value is a fraction of what it was last April.
Mohamed Abdihakim
Great point. With the seemingly significant emphasis of SR placed on those on-off counts, the replacements play a huge role.
I have to agree with you about the coaching.

iMuscle Rate and Review-by Sam
I have 28 years experience in muscle and fitness and I rate this app a 20 on a scale of 1-10 because this app has certainly far exceeded my expectations.
The iMuscle app clearly identifies which exercise works which muscle group, which in my experience is phenomenal. Also, the animated in motion muscular model clearly shows the audience a visual in motion exercise movement as to how the exercise should be performed enhancing maximum fitness results.
The comments on each exercise in iMuscle accompanied with the in motion display both provide a clear and concise purpose to target any muscle encompassed within the human anatomy for the interested audience.
What is further amazing in my rate and review concerns the exercises that may be performed with or without weights either at ones local fitness facility or in the privacy of ones home.
To note a pitfall concerning this app, I recommend a daily log that identifies a Sunday through Saturday calendar with the option of adding ones favorite exercises under each day. Also, as a recommendation, the owners of iMuscle may want to consider contacting fitness facilities or buying a satellite spot to show iMuscle animations in action on fitness facilities televisions yo promote the proper way exercises should be performed.
Other than that, I recommend purchasing iMuscle hands down to reach your fitness and health worthy goals.
Sam, PhD
Great workout and muscle app
This app is great for pre-planning a workout especially to target muscle groups. It has a great list of preset work outs or you can customize your own. A feature I would like to see is the ability to add specific exercises to a day's workout as it is in progress. I like to design the workout while at the gym using the app more as a tracker. I can record what I've done and what would be nice is to see previous stats or records to compare progress. Also if this app would communicate with Apple's health and fitness tracking apps that would be a bonus as well.
Overall, amazing features and I'm sure there is more I haven't even discovered yet!
Need to work a specific part of your body? This is the app for it
I'm a newbie in working out and to be fair, I dislike gyms. Because of that, I find myself constantly looking for different ways to work out. This app has a muscle model where you can choose a specific muscle that you wish to work out and it will give you several different ways on how to work that muscle out, whether it be a primary work out or secondary. It has examples useful in gyms and at home.
It does take a little bit to load and sometimes it needs to be restarted because the model won't load right away. But besides that, you can't go wrong with this app!

On Feb. 20, 2012, a deal was finally finalized that sent A.J. Burnett to the Pittsburgh Pirates in return for two minor league players: relief pitcher Diego Moreno and outfielder Exicardo Cayones.
When Burnett signed with the Yankees before the 2009 season, he was expected to give the team a huge boost in the pitching rotation. During his first regular season with the team, Burnett finished with a 13-9 record and a 4.04 ERA.
Consequently, the end of the 2009 regular season also marked the beginning of what will go down as "the downfall of A.J. Burnett." Plagued by lackluster performances and behavioral mishaps, Burnett's next two seasons with the team had the Yankees organization and fans begging for another club to lift his burden off New York's shoulders.
Now that a deal has been finalized, Yankees fans can reflect on the days that continuously gave them less and less confidence in the possibility of a harmonious relationship between Burnett and the Bombers.
In chronological order, these are the darkest days of Burnett's stay in New York.

Choosing a college…
We are a team of professional, independent counselors serving Maryland, Delaware and beyond in the college selection and admission process. In the 16 years that we have been serving Delmarva, CPC students have gained admission in 369 different colleges in 41 states and the District of Columbia.
The Right College Choice Takes Planning.
It is more than grades and SAT scores… a lot more. Why do some students change colleges or leave never to return? It very well may be that the college they chose, in some way, did not fit them and what they needed.
Size, location, courses, programs, environment, activities, sports… one size does not fit all. There are over 2,500 colleges and universities in this country alone and over the years the process has become more confusing and intimidating for both students and parents.
As experts in the college admission process, we are your student's personal counselor and college selection coach. Our process begins with our getting to know the student as a person outside of the classroom. We employ personality attitude and interest testing to individualize each student's search.
Parents understand their needs and have the choice of selecting services. Coordinating college visits, preparing the student for interviews, brainstorming for the all-important essays, assembling applications to meet the varied deadlines, and helping you understand college financial aid are all a part of what we do. We are here as you need us; helping you through every single step or being on-call for help and advice when you need and want it.
The Importance Of Visiting A College Campus
Our counselors travel to many colleges throughout the year talking with college admissions. We strive to keep up with the latest college application requirements. Visiting allows us to see the best and lesser attractive attributes of a campus, keep current with new programs/majors, and open up lines of communication with admission counselors. It is as equally important for students and their families to visit schools they are considering attending. Part of our service is to help arrange for those most important visits and interviews.
Read about our recent trips ... click on our College Visits tab.
Reduce Anxiety… Define Student Interests…Explore College Options…
Our Junior Starter Package is as easy as 1,2,3
- Step 1: Come in for a 1½ hour personal interview; a review of the student's high school progress and SAT/ACT testing; activity resume help; an explanation of the timeline.
- Step 2: We send the student home with 3 evaluative inventories (personality, self-reflective, and educational career surveys) to complete and mail back to us.
- Step 3; We meet again for an hour long follow-up visit where the family receives a written, professional report which includes inventory interpretations and a list of colleges personally suited for the student.
Call to schedule your appointment 410-822-4500
SAT Prep Classes begin on January 14th in Easton and on January 15th in Salisbury. Go to our Services & Resources tab on our tool bar for registration links. Registration will be available in November.
Besides college counseling we offer individual tutoring for students in grades K-12, along with SSAT, ACT, and SAT tutoring. We also have an Educational Therapist on staff. Need help? Call today. 410-822-4500

As an American living in France...
As an American living in France, I've always imagined sending my daughter to the States for her college education, but after being abroad for over 20 years, I found myself completely out of touch with the procedures and realities of the college admissions process.

Right from the beginning, the counselor put my daughter and I at ease. The surveys, the SAT courses, the interview and admissions' essays pointers, the organization o
