The Gaucho Record
UC Santa Barbara will enter its Sunday afternoon road game at the University of San Francisco with a record of 6-2 and a two-game winning streak. The Gauchos opened the season with four straight wins for the first time since the 1992-93 season and since back-to-back home defeats to San Diego State and Loyola Marymount, they have defeated Portland and Fresno State. The 6-2 record matches the best eight-game start by a UCSB team in the last 11 years. The 2001-02 Gauchos also opened at 6-2 and ultimately went 8-2.
After 10-Day Break For Finals, UCSB Travels North
UCSB will travel to the University of San Francisco on Dec. 17 for a rare Sunday afternoon contest against the Dons. When they take the court on Sunday, the Gauchos will be playing their first game in 10 days after taking time off for final exams. If Santa Barbara is rusty, it will have company. USF last played on Dec. 5 and will be coming off of an 11-day break, also for final exams.
Gauchos Get Defensive, Hand Fresno State Its First Defeat
Chris Devine scored 19 points, Alex Harris added 18 and UC Santa Barbara used a stifling defense to limit previously unbeaten Fresno State to 28.3% shooting and just 42 points, as the Gauchos won their second straight game, 70-42. Fresno State led by as many as four points early, but when senior Cecil Brown made a fall-away jumper with 9:26 left in the first half, UCSB had the lead for good. Bulldog forward Hector Hernandez, who scored 13 points and tied for team-high scoring honors with guard Ja'Vance Coleman, made one of his three three-point shots with 2:07 remaining to whittle a six-point Gaucho lead to three, 27-24. However a pair of free throws by Devine and two free throws and three-point basket by Harris helped UCSB to close the half on a 7-0 run, giving it a 34-24 halftime cushion. The Gauchos began the second half the same way they ended the first half. Forward Ivan Elliott scored on a put-back and a lay-up, and Devine made a baseline jumper to expand the lead to 16, 40-24, with 16:06 to go in the game. After Dominic McGuire made a short jumper and Quinton n, the Bulldogs missed all 15 of their three-point attempts in the second half.
Gauchos Enter Mid-Major Top-25
Last week, the Gauchos entered The CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top-25 poll for the first time since early in the 2003-04 season. UCSB was ranked 25th in the poll dated Dec. 4. This week, by virtue of its resounding win over previously unbeaten Fresno State, Santa Barbara has jumped six spots to No. 19 in the poll. The Gauchos are the only Big West school ranked in the top-25. Cal State Fullerton and Long Beach State are each receiving votes.
Turner Remains Sidelined As UCSB Returns To Action
Senior forward Glenn Turner remains sidelined as UCSB returns to the court after a 10-day layoff for finals. Turner has yet to play in a game this season after undergoing surgery to repair a hernia on Nov. 9. He has started running and working out lightly but he has yet to take part in full-contact practices. His timetable for return remains undetermined.

The Opponents
UCSB and San Francisco have played 32 times in a series that dates back to 1961. The Dons hold a decisive 23-9 edge, but the Gauchos won the last meeting between the schools, 82-59 at the Thunderdome last season. The last time the programs played in San Francisco, during the 2004-05 campaign, USF posted an easy 72-56 decision. UCSB has not won at War Memorial Gymnasium since the 2001-02 season. The meeting between the Gauchos and Vanguard University will be the first.
The Gauchos At Home
UCSB is 2-2 at home in 2006-07. The Gauchos defeated San Jose State on Nov. 10 and after losing consecutive games to San Diego State and Loyola Marymount, they defeated Fresno State on Dec. 6. UCSB went 9-4 in home games during the 2005-06 season and it was a perfect 6-0 in non-conference home games last season. Since Bob Williams became head coach in 1998-99, Santa Barbara has gone 75-31 in home games overall and 31-12 in non-conference home games. Since the 2000-01 season, UCSB has gone 23-6 in non-conference games at the Thunderdome.
The Gauchos On The Road
UCSB is 4-0 in road games this season. The Gauchos opened the road portion of their schedule with an 88-56 win at Montana State on Nov. 13. On Nov. 17, they won at UNLV, 79-76 and on Nov. 21 they won at Pepperdine, 89-80 in double overtime. On Saturday, they won at Portland, 75-67. This marks the first 4-0 start in true road games since the 1992-93 campaign when the team jumped out of the gates with the same 4-0 road record. UCSB posted a 5-9 record in true road games in 2005-06 and a 6-10 mark in all non-home games. While the 5-9 doesn't seem like much, it includes an 0-7 start and a 5-2 finish. The Gauchos opened the 2005-06 season with seven straight road losses, extending a two-season streak to nine straight road defeats. However, since the end of that streak, UCSB has gone 9-2 on the road.
The Bob Williams File
Bob Williams is in his ninth season as the head coach at UC Santa Barbara. Last year his team overcame a slow start to finish over the .500 mark for the fourth time in five seasons. UCSB was 15-14 overall and 6-8 in the Big West. Prior to the 2004-05 season, when an injury-ravaged Gaucho team finished below .500, Williams had guided the program to three straight winning seasons for the first time since the late 1980s. In 2002-03, Williams' Gauchos went 18-14 overall and 14-4 in league. The 2002-03 Big West mark earned Santa Barbara its first-ever Big West regular season championship along with a trip to the postseason National Invitation Tournament. Additionally, the success earned Williams his second Big West Coach of the Year award, his first coming after an impressive 1999 campaign. In 2001-02, Williams guided UCSB to its first Big West Conference Tournament Championship ever and first NCAA Tournament appearance in 12 years. Including this season, Williams' UCSB teams have posted a 129-113 (.533) overall record and a 79-55 (.590) record in Big West games. Prior to his arrival at UCSB, he spent eight years at UC Davis and in those eight years, his teams recorded 20 or more wins five times and a 158-76 record. In Williams' final season, the Aggies went 31-2, won the NCAA Division II National Championship and he was named NABC Division II Coach of the Year. Including two seasons at Menlo College, Williams has a record of 317-213 (.598) at four-year schools.
Newcomers Dominate 2006-07 Gaucho Roster
UCSB opened the 2006-07 season with a vastly different roster than it finished the 2005-06 season. Gone are eight of the 13 players from last season's team. In their place are two redshirt freshmen, a transfer from a four-year school, two junior college transfers and four true freshmen. In fact, due to injuries, the Gauchos have had only four returnees play in the season's first eight games. In all, through eight games, 800 of the 1,650 minutes played by UCSB players have been played by returnees, 48.5%.
Field Goal Percentage, Part I
In a Dec. 2 win at Portland, the Gauchos allowed the Pilots to make 50.0% of their shots. It was the first time this season that a team had made half of its shots against UCSB. In its next game, Santa Barbara made up for any deficiencies by holding Fresno State to a dismal 17-of-60 from the field, 28.3%. The Bulldogs were bad overall, and even worse from three-point range. They made 5-of-27 from beyond the three-point arc, 18.5%. In the second half of the game, FSU missed all 15 of its three-point attempts. The Gauchos have held six of eight opponents to 43.8% or below and five of eight to 40.0% or less. Three opponents, Montana State and Pepperdine in addition to Fresno State, have shot below the 35.0% plateau. Overall, Gaucho opponents are shooting 39.1% from the field, the top defensive mark in the Big West Conference.
Field Goal Percentage, Part II
Despite making just 40.7% of its shots in the win over Fresno State, UCSB is still shooting 47.5% overall, the top figure in the Big West Conference. In fact, even with two sub-par shooting performances in the last three games (The Gauchos shot just 34.8% on Nov. 29 against Loyola Marymount), Santa Barbara is shooting a solid 48.9% in its last seven games. Breaking down the shooting even more, UCSB has been much better on the road than at home. In home games against San Jose State, San Diego State, Loyola Marymount and Fresno State, the Gauchos have made 93-of-224 shots, 41.5%. In those four games, they have shot better than 40.0% just one time. They made 50.9% against SDSU. On the other hand, in four road games, UCSB has gone 118-of-220, 53.6%, and it has shot below 50.0% just once. The lowest road mark for the Gauchos this season was the 49.2% that they shot at Pepperdine.
The Bench Reemerges
In a Dec. 2 win at Portland, the UCSB starting five of Alex Harris, Chris Devine, James Powell, Tom Garlepp and Justin Joyner combined for 73 of the Gauchos' 75 points, 97.3%. If you can do the math, and certainly I hope you can, that means the bench scored two points against the Pilots, 2.7%. In the last game, a 70-42 home win over Fresno State, the UCSB starting lineup changed to include Ivan Elliott instead of Garlepp. The result? The Gaucho bench, led by Garlepp's seven point performance, scored 19 of the 70 points, 27.1%.
Junior Partners
In UCSB's November 21 double-overtime victory over Pepperdine, two Gaucho players eclipsed the 25-point mark. Junior forward Chris Devine poured in a career-high 28 points, while junior guard Alex Harris had a career-best 27. Prior to Nov. 21, the last time a Santa Barbara duo achieved the feat was at Long Beach State on Feb. 25, 1988, when sophomore forward Mike Doyle scored 31 points and senior guard Brian Shaw scored 26. Three times this season Harris and Devine have scored 20 or more points in the same game, the first time a UCSB duo has pulled that off since 1990-91 when Gary Gray and Lucius Davis did it three times. Finally, through eight games the Harris-Devine tandem has combined for 318 of the Gauchos' 603 points, 52.7%. They are combining for 39.7 points per game and if they can remain anywhere near that figure, they would easily become the highest scoring duo in school history. Previously, the highest combined average for two players was in 1991-92 when Lucius Davis and Idris Jones combined to score 1,014 points in 29 games, an average of just a tick under 35.0 points per game.
Marginalizing The Opposition
Through eight games, UCSB is outscoring its opposition by an average of 10.2 points per game, the top figure among Big West Conference schools. In its six wins, the Gauchos have outscored opponents by 88 points, 14.7 points per game. Their two biggest margins of victory have been 32 points (Nov. 13 at Montana State) and 28 points (Dec. 6 vs. Fresno State). Their narrowest margin has been three points (Nov. 17 at UNLV). In its two losses UCSB was outscored by a total of seven points. They dropped a four-point decision on Nov. 25 against San Diego State and a three-point game to Loyola Marymount on Nov. 29. In their four road games, the Gauchos are outscoring opponents by 13.0 points per game and in four home games they are outscoring opponents by 7.2 points per contest.

The Harris Poll
Junior guard Alex Harris continues to lead UCSB and the Big West Conference in scoring at 22.6 points per game. In the Gauchos most recent game, a 70-42 win over Fresno State, Harris scored 18 points. At the beginning of the season, 18 points would have represented a career-high, but eight games in the 2006-07 campaign it represents the eighth highest scoring total of his career. The 18-point game ended Harris' streak of seven consecutive games with 20 or more points. He became the first Gaucho since the 1996-97 season to score 20 or more in seven straight games and he became the first UCSB player on record to start a season with seven straight 20-point games. In the game against Fresno State, Harris made 5-of-14 shots overall including 3-of-5 from three-point range. He is now shooting 52.7% on the season and 48.9% from beyond the three-point line. In the last two games he has made 7-for-11 from three-point range, 63.6%. In addition to his 18 points, Harris had a season-high eight rebounds against the Bulldogs and he is now averaging 4.9 rebounds per game, 6.3 per game in his last three games. He scored a career-high 27 points in a Nov. 21 win at Pepperdine and this season he has also recorded single-game career-highs in assists (six on Nov. 25 against San Diego State), three-point baskets (five on Nov. 10 against San Jose State), steals (five on Nov. 13 at Montana State), free throws made (nine on Nov. 21 at Pepperdine), field goals made (nine on Dec. 2 in Portland) and minutes played (48 on Nov. 21 at Pepperdine). Harris earned his first Big West Player of the Week honor after scoring 25 points in the Gauchos season-opening come-from-behind win over San Jose State.
The Devine File
Junior forward Chris Devine is second on the team and in the Big West in scoring at 17.1 points per game. In two games since scoring a season-low five points on Nov. 29 against Loyola Marymount, Devine has averaged 19.5 points per game. In the Gauchos' last game, a win over Fresno State, Devine made 7-of-15 shots and scored a game-high 19 points. He has scored 12 or more in seven of eight games this season and he has topped 20 points three times. Devine, in fact, scored a career-high 28 points in a Nov. 21 double-overtime win at Pepperdine. He also had a season-high 13 rebounds against the Waves and he continues to lead UCSB in rebounding at 7.4 per game. He has had five or more rebounds in all eight games. Devine is also tops on the team and second in the Big West in field goal percentage at 56.0%. Since going 7-of-16 in the first game of the season, he has gone 49-of-84, 58.3%. In addition to rebounding, Devine paces the team with 12 steals, including a career-high five on Nov. 10 against San Jose State. He was named Big West Player of the Week after leading the Gauchos to road wins at Montana State and UNLV. A Second Team All-Big West choice last season, Devine was selected to the league's preseason all-conference team this year.
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! Oye, Oye, Oye!
Sophomore forward Tom Garlepp came off the bench for the first time this season in UCSB's last game against Frenso State. He also played a season-low 15 minutes against the Bulldogs. Garlepp is averaging 6.0 points and 4.3 rebounds per game, but in the last two games, he has averaged 9.0 points and 4.5 rebounds. In a Dec. 2 win at Portland, Garlepp scored a season-high 11 points and played a career-high 31 minutes. Also, while he is shooting just 34.8% overall, he has made 7-of-15 shots, 46.7%, in the last two games. Garlepp leads the Gauchos and is third in the Big West at 1.3 blocked shots per game. He has 10 this season and he has had a career-high three twice, once on Nov. 21 at Pepperdine and also on Nov. 29 against Loyola Marymount. He has also set career-highs this season in assists (five on Nov. 13 at Montana State), rebounds (eight on Nov. 10 vs. San Jose State) and steals (two on Nov. 10 vs. San Jose State). Finally, Garlepp made 1-of-2 three-point attempts in the season-opener against San Jose State and then went five straight games without one. He enters Sunday's game at San Francisco having made one in each of the last two games.
Old Buddy, Old Powell
Freshman guard James Powell is third on the Gauchos and ninth in the Big West in scoring at 13.3 points per game. His 13.3 scoring average would have led last year's UCSB team. Prior to scoring just three points in the Gauchos' win over Fresno State on Dec. 6, Powell had scored in double-figures in six consecutive games. While he struggled with his shooting against the Bulldogs, going 0-for-4 overall, 0-for-3 from three-point range and 3-for-6 from the free throw line, he helped set the table for the rest of the team with a season-high six assists. In fact, in the last two games, Powell has passed off for 11 assists and committed only two turnovers. Overall he is averaging 3.3 assists per game, second on the team and eighth in the league. He also ranks second to Alex Harris with 15 three-point baskets, a figure that already ranks him 10th on UCSB's all-time single-season list for freshmen. Powell has made at least one three-pointer in seven of eight games and two or more five times. He was 4-for-5 from beyond the three-point arc on Dec. 2 at Portland. Overall, he is shooting 46.6%, but since going 3-for-9 in the season-opener against San Jose State, he has gone 31-of-64, 48.4%. Finally, since making 3-of-11 from three-point territory in the first two games of the season, Powll has made 12-of-28, 42.9%.
Help Cecil! Help!
Senior guard Cecil Brown finally looked a little bit more like himself in UCSB's win over Fresno State. Brown, who missed both exhibition games and the first five regular season games with a stress fracture in his right foot, has played in the last three games. In the first two games, he was 1-for-5 from the field, 2-for-2 from the free throw line, and averaged 2.0 points per game. Against the Bulldogs, he played 19 minutes and made 3-of-4 shots scoring six points. While six points doesn't seem like much for a guy who averaged a team-leading 13.1 per game in 2005-06, but it was a major step forward. Brown looked more in rhythm. He alsohad a pair of rebounds, one assist and a career-high two steals against Fresno State.
Justin Joins In
Freshman guard Justin Joyner continues to lead UCSB with 27 assists, 3.4 per game. He ranks fifth in the Big West in that category. When the Gauchos lost back-to-back games to close out November, Joyner had one assist in each game, a season-low. In each of the last two games, he has had four assists and just one turnover. He has had four or more assists four times in eight games, including a career-high seven in UCSB's Nov. 17 win at UNLV. It was the highest assist total by a Gaucho since the 2004-05 season and the highest total by a freshman since the 2000-01 season. In the team's last game, a win over Fresno State, Joyner collected a career-high seven rebounds and is now averaging 3.4 per game. He has had three or more rebounds six times in eight games. Of his 27 rebounds through eight games, 25 are defensive. Joyner is averaging 4.4 points per game and making 32.4% of his field goal attempts, however, since making 5-of-19 shots through the first four games, 26.8%, he has gone 6-of-15 in the last four, 40.0%. Also, since missing his first 12 three-point attempts, he has gone 3-of-8, 37.5%. Finally, Joyner is proving to be one of the Gauchos' workhorses. He has played 250 minutes, third on the team, and he has logged 30 or more five times, all in the last six games.
Ivan The Pretty Good
Junior forward Ivan Elliott made his first start of the regular season in the Gauchos' last game, a win over Fresno State, and he had one of his best all-around games. Elliott scored six points, his third-highest total of the season, and he had six rebounds, his second-highest total of the campaign. He also played a pivotal defensive role on the interior as UCSB limited the Bulldogs to just 42 points and a mere 28.3% shooting from the field. The six rebounds boosted Elliott's season average to 4.1 per game. He had a high of 10 rebounds on Nov. 21 at Pepperdine and a best of 14 points on Nov. 13 at Montana State. Elliott also had a high of three blocked shots against the Waves and he has had two or more three times this season.

First Person
Part 2: The Pearl ChokerBy Clancy Martin
Yesterday, Martin was standing in the middle of New Orleans, kicked out of his hotel room, with only a towel to serve as his pants. He had come to the city after seeing the Van Cleef & Arpels exhibit at the Cooper-Hewitt Museum in New York, and was hoping to score a deal using his experience in the jewelry business. To start at the beginning: "Nathaniel Rich's Trousers."
The pearl choker was a counterfeit. It was stamped VCA—the salesman cannily allowed me to be the one to discover that fact, pretending he hadn't noticed it himself—but the hallmark looked like it had been imprinted by a chimpanzee hours before I arrived at the store, and the stringing of the pearls and the faux-silk thread was contemporary mainland China rather than early-twentieth-century France. It was raining now, I had holes in my shoes, and I stepped through the puddles of the broken-brick-and-cobblestone streets of the French Quarter with increasing despair. What absurd burst of enthusiasm had inspired this doomed pot-of-gold mission? New Orleans as Emerald City?
Maybe my soon-to-be ex-wife was right: perhaps I am bipolar and incapable of recognizing when I am in the midst of a manic episode. How were Nathaniel Rich's trousers helping me now? The cuffs were muddy and wet, and I worried about how and where I would have them laundered, as I slumped from jewelry store to jewelry store in apathetic parody of my former life, stepping on my heels with my toes in the air. The bars were beginning to be populated, and the cold beers and tall, colorful potions and modest glasses of cheap red glistened their eyes at me like snakes or flying monkeys (I don't drink, but sometimes still want to).
There was another door, on Royal. Jack Sutton Antique and Jewelry. I knew the name; he was on my list. He has an eye and a reputation, so if it's in his case it's the real thing. We had done business years before on three half-carat pink diamonds I had bought in a Fort Worth oil heiress's estate. Just in case Jack was in, I ran my fingers back through my hair and slapped both my cheeks. The rain was coming down harder. I thought about stopping by a hotel lobby to "borrow" an umbrella before entering (to lend a modicum of dignity to my appearance) but then thought, Screw it. Inside it smelled like lemon oil, that fine, calming, luxurious smell of freshly rubbed antiques from my childhood (my stepfather owned Calgary's largest antique store, Collector's, and as a kid I polished thousands of Scottish and French antiques).

From that point on the Mile High team would go through a major drought in reaching the playoffs, more than they realized or expected.
Now was the time for Denver to find a new quarterback. Seems like a very impossible task considering who just led them to 2 Super Bowl victories. An irreplaceable legend but the position needed to be filled. Eventually, all good things come to pass. This was time the Broncos had to face the fact that Elway retired and they have to move on, as difficult as that would be.
The Broncos would go on to challenge two more division rivals, the Raiders and Chiefs and won both games. While the division title was out of reach for Denver, they were able to at least secure a Wild Card berth by getting the win over KC and then later clinched a playoff berth after taking out Cleveland and Indy. However, the fun was short lived, again.
2004 turned out to be a big year for the Broncos at the very beginning, in several ways.
The beginning of the '08 season actually started off pretty exciting and looked hopeful for some success after a 2-year drought in the playoffs.
Just four years after the best QB on the planet who just happened to be a Bronco for his entire career was inducted into the Hall of Fame, another Bronco got the honor of joining him in Canton. Offensive tackle, Gary Zimmerman, became apart of "the club" after several seasons with the Minnesota Vikings. He then joined the Broncos for 4 seasons and was apart of the 1997 Denver team who went to the Super Bowl and became '98 World Champs.
Since this is the last part of the 50th anniversary article, I know I have gone on long enough without naming quite a few players this franchise has had don a Bronco uniform – from the brown & mustard yellow with hysterical striped socks to the stunning bright Orange.
Thank you to all the past and present players for making this franchise what it is today. Enjoy the videos, sorry once again this was so freakin' long and GO BRONCOS!!

Scheduled Group Tours
Bring your garden club, church group, civic organization or other group and explore Cornell Botanic Gardens with a guided tour. Our group tours, offered May through October, are designed to provide you with a personalized, close-up look at the Plantations gardens and/or arboretum.
We offer scheduled group tours by bus or on foot. Our tours offer visitors the chance to learn about our gardens, history, and plant collections. Each tour is lead by an experienced staff or volunteer tour guide and lasts approximately an hour.
We also offer drop-in tours in our Botanic Garden on weekends during the summer. Visit our community education portal for dates and times.
Walking Tours
Walking tours of the 25-acre botanical garden highlight the herbs, decorative flowers, tropical containers and winter garden, as well as our rhododendron collection and extensive ground cover collections. Your guide will introduce the themes of each specialty garden and identify key plantings. Although three of the specialty gardens are wheelchair accessible, the majority of the tour is over non-wheelchair accessible terrain. Walking tours of the arboretum can also be arranged, providing a closer look at our tree and shrub collections.
Bus Tours
An experienced guide will board your bus to provide your group with a narrated driving tour of the approximately two-hundred acre F. R. Newman Arboretum. Your guide will share information about the plant collections, history, and educational mission of Cornell Botanic Gardens as you view scenic overlooks onto the tree and shrub collections of the arboretum. Buses must be provided by your group.
Tours for Cornell Classes
Our gardens and natural areas are here for education, research and enjoyment. Cornell student groups may tour Cornell Botanic Gardens at no charge. From plant identification to art history, we encourage any class to visit. If you would like to schedule a guided tour with a staff member, please contact our Adult Education Coordinator, Kevin Moss at (607) 254-7430 or e-mail email@example.com.

Registration with a non-refundable deposit of $25 is requested at least ten business days in advance to reserve a tour date. Balance of payment (minus the deposit) is due the day of the tour. You may pay by cash, check or credit card (Visa, MasterCard or Discover.)
To register or to make arrangements for your adult group tour, please call or e-mail Kevin Moss at (607) 254-7430 or email@example.com.

The tour deposit is nonrefundable. If we must cancel the tour due to severe weather or other causes, we will grant you a credit in the amount of your deposit towards a future tour.

Please call to inform us if you are running late or have to cancel at the last minute. In most cases, you will be provided with the cell phone number of the tour guide ahead of time. If not, please call our main information line at (607) 255-2400. If you are more than 30 minutes late, we reserve the right to shorten or cancel your tour.
If your group is not coming by bus, please carpool, as parking is limited. Buses will be directed to an appropriate parking area by your tour guide.

Not interested in a guided tour? No problem. Your group is free to tour on their own at no charge, seven days a week, from dawn until dusk. However, please make a reservation anyway so we can help maximize your group's enjoyment. Brochures and visitor maps are available at the Garden Gift Shop during open hours.

I have encountered a problem updating my web page. I have several computers on a network (700-800) and I have been able to access and save files to my web server in the past. My web server is a Windows NT server version 4.0. I don't have the option to upgrade, or switch operating systems thus I have to fix the problem. The problem seems to be a permissions thing and I can't for the life of me fix it. A share called wwwroot exists on the server with certain users/groups having access to it to varying degrees. Under this folder are folders that belong to different offices who have permissions to these folders for updating purposes. However, everything under the wwwroot directory is inaccessable other than read-only to anyone not logged in directly to this server. I have searched MS technet for answers an nothing seems to fit my dilemma. I need to restore the permissions to these offices as soon as possible. Has anyone ever seen this kind of error or experienced something similar to this? Thanks.

16 January 2013 at 2.31pm | Comment on this article
Cuban dancer Carlos Acosta has been dazzling audiences in Covent Garden as a Principal Guest Artist since 2003, this season performing in Swan Lake, Requiem and In the Night. However, he has been just as busy away from the stage writing his debut novel, Pig's Foot.
The novel, which is set in 19th-century Cuba, has been named as one of The Waterstones Eleven, an annual list of the most promising fiction debuts that showcase potential best-sellers and literary award-winners.
Though Carlos's autobiography, No Way Home, was published in 2007, Pig's Foot is the dancer's first foray into fiction.
"I have written an autobiography before," he said in an interview with the Telegraph, "but it's one thing writing about yourself and another to invent a whole world.
"I think my writing and ballet complement each other quite well. I've been doing ballet all my life and by the writing I can disappear, I can fly away somewhere and disconnect from my daily routine."
Pig's Foot, which was written in Spanish and translated by Frank Wynne, will be released on 30 October 2013.
Other recent publications with connections to The Royal Ballet include Darcey Bussell, which features photographs from the career of the former Royal Ballet Principal as well as personal comments. The book is currently being re-printed and will be available to buy from the Royal Opera House Shop in February. Also available is a limited edition book chronicling the process of creating last Season's Metamorphosis: Titian 2012, a collaboration between The Royal Ballet and the National Gallery.
The Royal Ballet Yearbook 2012/13 is also available to buy from the Royal Opera House Shop.
