(read more below)

I will answer any logical questions in the comments if your curious about something I didn't mention.
A side note, no I do not NEED the wheelchair for any physical disability this is a costume/prop just like the one Patrick Stewart tooled around in, I get asked that a lot by many people and I hope that fact doesn't offend anyone. I'm fascinated by motorized wheelchairs, always have been. I love the idea of a Dr. Evil type character with the bald head and hairless cat sipping a martini zooming around a top secret lab in style. Whenever I've shown this I've perked the interest of many people who DO need a... more

Topical Budget (the great British newsreel that ran from 1911-31) here presents a light-hearted item on the Football Association's proposed ban on women's football.

Women's football was extremely popular in the 1920s. Indeed, on Boxing Day 1920, 53,000 fans packed into Goodison Park to watch the Dick, Kerr's Ladies beat the St Helens Ladies 4-0.

It's hard to tell whether or not this news item supported the ban, though its cameraman clearly enjoyed observing the players in their knitted kit undergoing a rigorous exercise regime. And keep your eyes peeled for a very dodgy-looking chap in tweeds and a Hitler moustache. (Robin Baker)

(This is a higher-quality version of a video first published on YouTube in February 2008.)

cadencejubilate sent you a video: "Chanticleer~Josquin Desprez~Ave Maria à 4"

Josquin Desprez (c1440~1521)
Franco-Flemish composer Josquin Desprez, one of the greatest masters of the Renaissance,
lived a life steeped in mystery for present-day scholars. However, the fact that he was well
respected by his contemporaries is sure. The great 16th century printer of music, Petrucci,
devoted as many as three books to the works of Josquin. No other composer was allotted
more than one book by Pettrucci, and publications devoted to a single composer were extremely rare.
Josquin's Ave Maria deftly alternates between imitative sections of two, three
and four voices, imbuing the work with a sense of intimacy and tenderness.
At the final couplet, where the text is in the first person singular for the only time, Josquin chooses a simple
chordal setting, giving the effect of the four voices declaming as one, "O Mother of God, remember me"
