Parachutes/Rush of Blood to the Head

Two hit albums packaged together and housed in a slipcase. This two CD set features the debut and sophomore albums from Coldplay. Each album garnered so much airplay on TV and radio that these albums could actually be retitled Greatest Hits Vol. One and Vol. Two! No other British band besides Radiohead has received the critical accolades and worldwide sales that Coldplay has. And this is where it all began... EMI. 2006.


Getting to Know Panama

The word Panama means abundance of fish and butterflies. In addition to the variety of wildlife, one will also discover in Panama an abundance of great opportunities to live, retire or invest.

The population of Panama is approximately 3.2 million and its territory approximately 29,157-square miles. Panama possesses a democratic government and, consistent with the governance model for democratic states, is divided into three branches: legislative, judicial and executive, commonly referred to as separation of power. Panamas economy is very stable in part due to the circulating currency, which is the United States dollar. Furthermore, Panama possesses a first-rate banking system.

Panama is a great place to live and retire and is considered one of the most secure capital cities in the region, practically free from natural disasters. Its tropical climate has two seasons, the rainy and dry seasons. The entire year is usually like spring, with average temperatures ranging from 70F to 90F in the city.

Urban or Rural Retirement

Where to people want to retire? Some retirees may imagine their retirement in the country with a temperate mountain climate among vegetation, fresh breeze, beautiful rivers and a variety of flora and fauna. Others may want to spend their retirement lying on a white sand beach shaded by a palm tree from the vibrant sun, taking an occasional dip in the crystalline waters. Another option for retirees is to live in a high-energy city full of 5-star restaurants, casinos and commercial centers. Panama offers all of these options to the retiree. In Panama, the best of various worlds is concentrated in a warm, friendly country, perfect for retirement.

Quality of Life for the Retiree

The cost of living in Panama is moderate, and much less than in the United Status. Baby boomers can retire comfortably with a modest budget. Housing, public services, gasoline and other general expenses are accessible.

Many are surprised by the infrastructure in Panama City, as was George Bush on his official visit in 2005, commenting that he had not expected to find a modern city. Panama possesses the tallest buildings in Latin America, according the Web site http://www.skyscraperpage.com. Furthermore, from Tocumen International Airport in Panama City, flights leave everyday to important international destinations. In addition to a modern airport, Panamas highway systems and ports are well structured.

In terms of services, Panama has achieved impressive developments in communications, such as cellular phone coverage, various long-distance providers, broadband Internet and satellite and cable television.

Panama possesses excellent medical facilities and, like all professionals in the field, adheres to high quality standards.

Legal Incentives for Retirees

The local laws offer multiple benefits for foreigners, both retirees and investors. Some of the incentives include:

No taxes on income generated outside of Panama.

Discounts for retirees on medicine, medical attention, restaurants, movie tickets, public services, airline tickets and accommodations, among others.

Exoneration of taxes for a term of 10 to 20 years for the purchase of undeveloped real estate, depending on its value.

Panama welcomes retirees with open arms

A survey by the Panamanian Institute of Toursim (IPAT) revealed that the thing that tourists and foreigners residing in Panama liked most about Panama is the people. Panamanians warmth, friendliness and hospitality have won a place in the hearts of those who visit, with many choosing to stay.

But, there are not words to describe all that Panama has to offer. Come check it out for yourself!

" Coldplay " : It's Easy To Play




A hand drum is a kind of drum that is played primarily with hands other than using any sticks, mallet, hammer or any type of beater. Frame drum, a shallow, cylindrical shell with a drumhead attached to one of the open ends, is one of the early forms of this kind of drums. Tabla, mridangam etc. are the Indian forms of hand drums.

The types of drums vary from place to place. Like in the Middle and near east Tar, tambourine, daf, dayereh, ghaval, tonbak etc. are found. In Africa the most common form of hand drum is djembe, single headed, large drum, which is goblet in shape. Its other African types are ashiko that is similar to djembe that comes in the shape of truncated cone. While Bougarabou drums are made with cow skin heads.

In Latin America, congas and bongos are part and parcel of every kind of Latin American music. Especially Caribbean and South American regions use congas and bongas both in folklore like punta, rumba and popular music like salsa, latin jazz and others. The conga is a tall, narrow, single headed Cuban drum that is commonly played in Congo. The person who plays a conga is called a congureo. Congas are played in five basic types of strokes namely open tone, muffled tone, bass tone, slap and touch. Bongo drums or bongos are two small drums attached to each other. They produce high pitched sounds and are played holding between the knees with the larger drum on the side. They are played by striking the drumheads with the fingers and palms.

In Far East and India tabla, mridangam are an integral part of music. Not to mention ghatams and kanjiras equally accompany the mridangam in Classical karnatatic music. The term tabla is originated from an Arabic word which means drum. The majority of the tabla performers were Muslims, whose habitat was either near or at the center of Mughal cultural centers like Delhi, Lucknow, Allahabad, Hyderbad and Lahore. Initially vocalists and instrumentalists accompanied tabla players. But gradually they developed a tradition of solo performances.

In Europe the Irish Bodhran sometimes is played with the bare hand. A goat skin head is attached to one side, though now a days new materials like synthetic heads or kangaroo skin, are sometimes used. The other side is open ended, so that the hands could be placed in the drumhead in perfect manner to control the pitch and timber. If we peep in history, we will find that the bodhran was used during the Irish rebellion of 1603 as a war drum or battle drum. The drum is usually played in a seated position, held vertically on the players' thigh and is supported by the upper body and arm.

The hang is the modern kind of hand drum that is played with fingers. The hang is played resting on a player's lap or sometimes on a stand. It was the result of many years of research and study of the wide variety of instruments across the world like gongs, gamelan, ghatam, drums, bells etc.

The world of hand drums is really very rhythmic and melodious. With the passage of time the evolution of hand drum seems to bring a sweet note on the technology driven life.

Customer Review: shakira is a belly dancer
my sister is six she loves shakira you should really put a picture thank you suany


There are many famous instances of immortal musicians being insulted by other famous musicians.

Johann Sebastian Bach, like most musicians of the day, worked as a church musician. He was anything but docile, and was known to rankle easily.

He was once reproved for playing "strange harmonies" during a church service. Bach's answer was to play even stranger harmonies the next Sunday, and this from the greatest composer of religious music the world has ever seen, the composer of the St. Matthew Passion.

Still steaming, the elders complained again to Bach and added the insult that the music was at some points "too long."

The next Sunday, of course, the music was much too short.

Beethoven also had his feuds, especially in the early years when he was establishing himself as a great pianist.

A worthless popinjay named Steibelt had made it known that he thought Beethoven a terrible pianist, and in essence challenged Beethoven to a musical duel, a common occurrence in those days. Beethoven despised Steibelt, for he was in truth a talentless oaf that foolishly dared to challenge a great master.

At a party the next week, Beethoven heard Steibelt playing one of his own compositions, an insipid Trio for piano, violin and cello. It was the type of horrid, elaborately ornamented fluff that Beethoven reviled, but he watched calmly as Steibelt finished the piece and took his bows.

A hush fell over the crowd as Beethoven appeared out of the shadows and walked toward the piano. Everyone was aware of the grudge between Steibelt and Beethoven and the air was thick with apprehension.

Steibelt, startled by the angry look on the master's face, stepped away from the piano.

As Beethoven walked past the cello's music stand, he snidely grabbed the cello's sheet music.

Carefully showing the astounded crowd the page of sheet music, Beethoven sat at the piano and then put the music, upside down, onto the piano music stand.

As Steibelt and the hushed crowd watched, Beethoven plunked out the notes of the upside down cello part, forcefully jabbing with his pointed and angry index finger, not taking his eyes off Steibelt.

Then Ludwig began to improvise like a madman on Steibelt's upside down cello part theme. The crowd was carried away with Beethoven's angered showmanship.

And it was magnificent, one of those legendary Beethoven improvisations that have gone down in history, a passionate outpouring of ideas and bravura, until at last the piece was over with a furious ending and crash.

Curiously, Steibelt was never heard from again.

Freddie Hubbard has released him most recent album entitled Sky Dive.

Sky Dive will grab your attention right from the very first note with Povo and wont let go until the very last note of the very last song Naturally, which by the way is another great track.

Sky Dive has a nicely varied, mix of 6 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly outstanding artist. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. Theyre all here.

Overall Sky Dive is an outstanding release. Quite possibly Freddie Hubbard's best to date. Really sensational from beginning to end. If you're even mildly into Jazz music you'll enjoy this album.

While this entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 - In A Mist, track 6 - Naturally, and track 5 - Sky Dive

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Povo. Outstanding!

It is part of the package you are paying for so any extra perks do count when you find the best value for money deal.

4. Customer Testimonial & Reviews

The best way to check out a site is to read the customer testimonials. Since you are not a member and there is no way you can know how the experience is like with each download site, you can only rely on the feedback of existing customers. Word of mouth advertising is the best advertising because customers would not lie about their experience. Have you avoided a shop because you have heard your friend spoke something negative about it? See the power? Other than reading testimonials of customers, you should also read some honest reviews written by music critics.

A quality site should have fast download speeds so that we can download many music MP3s in the shortest time possible.

We often talk about wedding receptions once the receptions are over. The people at the wedding, the wedding site, the food, the drink, the music, the pleasantries exchanged, the bonhomie and the steady trickle of joy of being part of a social event reminds us later that it was the greatest wedding reception that we ever attended. Whom you danced with, did your favorite band entertain. Was the location beside a lake or on a yacht every detail is embedded in your memory. Later the memories come rushing in to make you feel mushy.

Setting the emotions aside, wedding receptions are remembered for the sheer grandeur of the arrangements made in terms of food, drink, music, the wedding site, and the ambience. No wonder people are willing to spend lavishly on wedding receptions to make it a memorable one. Wedding entertainment has an endearing importance, as the bride and the groom are interested in entertaining the guests to make the day memorable. Variety is being added to songs, dances, food and decorations. Jugglers, fire-eaters, magicians, stand up comedians and professional band have all entered the scene as a part of wedding entertainment.

Wedding entertainment mostly means music entertainment that can be live or otherwise. Wedding music bands, wedding DJs, solo wedding musicians, solo wedding singers, and wedding music ensembles all comprise the wedding entertainment schedule. Depending on the mood and atmosphere of the day, these performers can be hired to perform. While a DJ would play music as per planned, he also would ask the guests to request for songs of their choice. Music entertainment also means performance either by musicians and singers, solo or in groups. A pianist playing your favorite music while the guests enjoy the delectable food can be very soothing. If you wish, your guests to dance chose such music as Latin, Swing Band or even Rock and Roll. A Jazz or Cover band would give a more sophisticated feel. As far as live music entertainment is concerned the band selection offers choice across the spectrum that include Country, Cover, Dance, Jazz, Latin, Motown, Oldies, Reggae, Rock, Steel Drum, Swing, Top 40, and the periods like 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s band.

While live music entertainment limits the music to a particular genre once the selection is made, a DJ offers a mix of whatever you want, from any era, any musician and any song. You should make up your mind to what tune you would love your guests to enjoy and dance to, whether slow and romantic, or hip and exciting. Whether it is going to be Louis Armstrongs What a wonderful world or a Whitney Houston romantic song. The results are the guests would be left with an unforgettable wedding experience and treasure it forever.

Thin Air E.P




Bharatanatyam is a classical dance form that claims its source from Tamil Nadu, South India. Most of the sculptures in Hindu temples are based on Bharata Natyam dance postures known as karanas. In fact, it is the celestial female dancers or apsaras, who are depicted in many scriptures performing this heavenly dance, known on earth as Bharatanatyam. In the most essential sense, a Hindu deity is revered in royal opulence in his temple and offered a standard set of religious services called arotiks, among which are music and dance that are pleasing to the senses. Bharata Natyam as a dance form and carnatic music set to it are deeply grounded in the devotional mood, Bhakti. Bharata Natyam is said to be the embodiment of music in visual form and an offering of devotion.

Bharatanatyam is the manifestation of the ancient idea of the celebration of the eternal universe through the beauty of the material body.

The physical expressions express a poetic meaning known as Abinaya. It means that the emphasis is more on facial expressions than rhythmic movements. Abinaya is divided into four categories:

1. Angikabhinaya

2. Vachikabhinaya

3. Aharyabhinaya

4. Satvikabhinaya

Angikabhinaya : Expressing the meanings of lyrics through the body parts like Head, Hands, Legs etc.

Vachikabhinaya : Expressing the Story via a dance drama

Aharyabhinaya : Imitating the dresses, Jewellery, Make-up etc. in the dance.

Satvikabhinaya: Showing the devotional moods come under Satvikabhinaya.

Lord Shiva is said to be the embodiment of the 4 types of abinaya.

Kathak is a partly narrated dance form based on fast footwork (tatkar), spins (chakkar) and innovative use of the devotional moods in abhinaya. Today it's more of a form that has been practiced in the past by historical narratives, by kathakas or ancient bards, temple performances and the bhakti movement.

Kathak is an important classical dance in the culture of India, and an increasingly world popular theater art form. The word Kathak comes from katha, which means "pastimes-telling". 'Katha kahey so kathak kahaye', which means one who narrates a pastime through a dance form is a Kathak. Long ago, the performers of kathak known as Kathakars narrated stories in temples of North India. The movement of hands, body and facial expressions used by the Kathakars to enrich the narrative, has given birth to Kathak.

Accoring to history, the earliest reference of this art is found in the Mahabharata, the great epic poem spoken about five thousands years ago. At this early stage the art of Kathak was performed by a group of Brahmins in glorification of the lord.

Change in the Bhakti Era

During the period of fervent worship of Radha and Krishna, Kathak was used to narrate pastimes of these two eternal personalities. Popular performances included Sri Krishna's exploits in the holy land of Vrindavan, and pastimes of Krishna's mischiefs as a child.

Victor Epand is an expert consultant for Krishna art, religious gifts from India, and Hare Krishna books. You can find the best marketplace for Krishna art, religious gifts from India, and Hare Krishna books at these sites for Bharatanatyam and kathak art, Bharatanatyam and kathak gifts, and Bharatanatyam and kathak books.
