...favorite bands, and catch up with friends and neighbors while picnicking on pelau (a rice and peas mixture), macaroni pie, souse (a spicy soup made from either pigs' or chickens' feet), jerk chicken and plenty of local beer and rum drinks. The musicians - who all play their instruments by ear - have eight minutes to impress the eight judges seated in the main Grand Stand. The "engine room," or rhythm section of each steel band, includes at least one conventional drum kit, tumba drums, maracas and "irons" - scrapped car-brake drums Loh and Behold Avant-garde murals and imaginative furnishings characterise...
...year-old daughter Lucy, who is autistic. "She used to sit in a corner and have no interaction with anyone," Quatron says. Two years ago, she began taking Lucy to a center in Lewes, England, that uses the Tomatis method of playing music through what's called an "electronic ear" - essentially regular headphones with a piece in the middle that vibrates against the scalp, conveying sounds through bone conduction. Tomatis and his followers claim that this has a profound impact on patients' ability to hear and listen to others and themselves, which is the core of the treatment. Still, since...
...Snuppy really was cloned from the ear cell of a 3-year-old male Afghan named Tai, it shouldn't be tough to prove, even to those outside investigators.

Ian Wilmut, the Scottish scientist who created Dolly the sheep in 1996, had to provide such samples to prove to skeptics that he had created history's first mammalian clone...
...Veronica is played by the dimpled Kristine Nielsen, whose performance is less depressive than manic; she orates her grudges with the gale force of one of those crazy people who enters a crowded subway car and shouts her conviction that the end is nigh into the ear of the nearest standee. But Nielsen gets the message across: that, whatever our scarred life histories, we ultimately make our own heaven or hell. At 56, Durang is exactly twice as old he was when he wrote his nunsploitation comic diatribe Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All for You. It's a pleasure...
...geopolitical importance of this Sri Lankan--born, London-raised rapper has been heavily overstated by people who would rather she were a symbol than a star. Her manic energy and supremely confident delivery on such songs as Galang (now the sound track to a Honda commercial) matches her ear for those small production details that turn songs into bustling streets in foreign capitals. That's the combination, instead of her blend of ethnicities, that makes this the most compelling debut of the year...
