The film portraits Perrault's children story of "The Princess in Donkey's Clothes" that is relatively known all across Europe, and featured in numerous Children's books. Shortly after being born, Princess Theresa, King Gaston IX's daughter gets an enigmatic curse casted by an evil fairy. That is forgotten until the princess has grown up, and, instead of marrying with the prince she loves, her father, influenced by the princess' evil stepmother tries to make her marry an old King for the money. The princess runs away, disguises herself and her adventures begin. A nice children's movie that remembers that it doesn't matter how you look on the outside, but who you are on the inside.

John Milton is up against the clock: Jonah King, the leader of a Satanic cult, has murdered Milton's daughter and kidnapped her baby. In three days, King and his followers will sacrifice the child at midnight. Milton picks up the trail in Oklahoma as well as rescuing a waitress named Piper from her brutal, two-timing fiancé. There are odd things about Milton: his driver's license is out of date, he has a very strange gun, and he's being pursued by a man in a suit who carries FBI ID and calls himself the Accountant. Piper, who's lived a life on the sidelines, has to piece things together on the fly as they close in on King.

This 3-volume set is a major revision of a classic in the field, one that has remained in print since its appearance in 1966, The Encyclopedia of the American Revolution by Mark M. Boatner. This A-Z ready-reference dictionary is the essential source for all military aspects of the American Revolutionary War in the period 1763-1783. One-third of the entries are biographical, while the rest cover campaigns and strategy, battles, skirmishes, naval actions, weaponry, political issues and events, popular legends, and the participation of the European powers.

When her husband was murdered on the orders of Chicago mobster Frank Nitti, Georgette Winkeler – wife of one of Al Capone's "American Boys" – set out to expose the Chicago Syndicate. After an attempt to publish her story was squelched by the mob, she offered it to the FBI in the mistaken belief that they had the authority to strike at the racketeers who had killed her husband Gus. Discovered 60 years later in FBI files, the manuscript describes the couple's life on the run, the St. Valentine's Day Massacre (Gus was one of the shooters), and other headline crimes of that period. Prepared for publication by mob expert William J. Helmer, Al Capone and His American Boys is a compelling contemporary account of the heyday of Chicago crime by a woman who found herself married to the mob.

This is in some ways the most revealing of the issues in Brabbin’s Cyril Scott series for Chandos, with works from opposite ends of his long career, the Symphony No 1 of 1899 and the Cello Concerto of 1937. The Symphony is more traditional than Scott’s later symphonies, with its clean-cut thematic material. The Cello Concerto, beautifully played with Paul Watkins as soloist, is in a conventional three movements, with the fast outer movements separated by a reflective Pastoral for unaccompanied cello, before the jolly, sparkling finale.

Joaquim Homs was a Catalonian composer, schooled in Schoenberg's twelve-tone techniques, so one might expect to hear music that shouts "I'm different, I'm learned, respect me!" However, Homs' piano music, particularly as played by Jordi Masó, speaks more for the person who wrote it, rather than for itself. Much of it is atonal and composed following prescribed techniques, but it is at the same time very evocative and emotionally expressive.

On the 30th September 2009 there was an idea of performing live on streaming radio. StreamerP2P was chosen as a platform. In some days all the preparations were made and one hour live show was performed on the 4th November. Almost complete improvisation! Only about 10 listeners though. But here it is available again in slightly remastered form and with bonus studio track from the 5th November.

Could you imagine drowning in an impersonal spiraling pool? This is the breathtaking feeling of the irresistible movement to an end. Crossing the edge, you fall into the vast undercurrent. The other side that is weird and inconceivable, but it's right before your eyes. The impossible world of strange omnidirectional streams, areas of void, fractal tunnels and mental doors. Diverse obscure moves, eruptions and morphs around are your immediate milieu. There is no necessity to dispose their attention. Just stay perceiving your naughtiness forever.

After nearly a decade’s wait, fans of “that little ole’ band from Texas,’ ZZ Top, will be rewarded on Sept. 11 with the trio’s 15th album, ‘La Futura.’The ten-song record, co-produced by Rick Rubin and the band’s ever-so-stylish guitarist and singer Billy Gibbons. How’d they get that title? “We thought long and hard about what this album should be,” Gibbons says in a press release. “We wanted to recall the directness of our early stuff but not turn our backs on contemporary technology. The result of this melding of the past and the present is, of course, ‘La Futura.’”
