Sound of Music beat rain
Brandy of the Damned was the title intriguingly chosen by Esme Forbes. She made a splendid job of satisfying the club's curiosity as she worked through some of the less well-known facts about various composers, completely refuting George Bernard Shaw's opinion that music was the brandy of the damned, even if, in the view of evaluator Beryl Frood, she erred on the gloomy side. After the coffee break, topics chairman Mairi Mole lobbed Cathie Forbes the first topic \"What do you think of talent shows?\" Needless to say, Cathie condemned them as TV on the cheap and put in an impassioned plea for more good plays instead. Sylvia was next to say whether music had charms to soothe her savage breast...
STREET SERMONIZING THE SIDEWALKS OF NEW YORK ARE PULPITS FOR PREACHERS DETERMINED TO SPREAD THE WORD OF GOD AMONG THE POOR AND DESPAIRING

Antiques show worth the drive even in winter
My \"driver,\" Bob Starr, had a productive day. Not only did he acquire a pair of lovely 19th century matching chairs and an elegant country French clock-case, but he purchased a wonderful, bow front, Canadian Chippendale chest of drawers from [John Forbes] for $4,800. It had a cherry case with crotch mahogany veneer, tiger maple inlay banding on the top and oval inlays on the front. Forbes found it in New Brunswick. The top inside drawer was stamped: \"Lemont's Variety Store, Glassware, crockery, furniture of all kinds, house furnishing goods, fancy goods and varieties, Queen Street, Fredericton, New Brunswick.\" Other participating dealers included Clay Benson, Glen Manor Galleries, Ishbel's, Canada Jay, Joyce Burne, Rob and Vi Lambert, Barbara McDonald, Richard Fulton, Montague House, Les Antiquites Muche Inc., Jim Barker, Uxbridge Antiques, Copeland Antiques, Maryan Russell and B. C. Kenney. There was a vast selection of merchandise including jewelry, oak, oil lamps, textiles, treen, folk art and nostalgia. Not only is Starr a great antique dealer and an excellent chauffeur, but he is also a master chef. To top off a perfect day he made a wonderful shrimp-garlic-tomato sauce served on homemade pasta, accompanied by an imported bottle of French wine from his wine cellar and a tangy salad. All this was served on a magnificent 18th century chair-table, still retaining its original green paint, in the Starrs' splendid 1860s coach house.
Creating virtual worlds for 'game boys' and girls is big business
While hundreds of women and girls are hooked on such console shoot-em-ups as Halo and Call of Duty, \"we're not concentrating on building games for those gals,\" says [Brenda Bailey Gershkovitch], \"because they've figured out what they want.\" \"Kate (the game's protagonist) was going to be this young, funky social worker who cared a lot about teenagers and really wanted to help people. I thought she was a really cool character. But when we tested her with the kids, they weren't into it. They'd say, 'Oh, she's an authority figure. Don't like her, don't want her.'\" In other words, says [Kirsten Forbes], inclusiveness is key. \"At the very least, guys, don't piss them off. Don't actively exclude them. Don't give them avatars ... whose waists are the size of their neck.\"
