Eyeshadow Tips for Asian Eyes
Makeup artist Andrew Sotomayor takes you through a shadow, liner, and mascara tutorial and shares some of his all-time favorite products for the eye area.
"Avoid the color-by-numbers effect," says Sotomayor. "Eye makeup looks best when it's geared towards your unique eye shape rather than where colors are 'supposed' to go. If your eye doesn't have a strong crease, you don't need to create one. Instead, take advantage of your lid space and apply a smoky ombre of shadows. Apply dark eye shadow at the lashline, a medium color on the lid, and the lightest color on the brow. Use a smudgeable pencil or an angled liner brush lash line and blend. Sometimes it's easier if you open your eye in order to get the liner to the inner corner. Next, apply dark shadow over the liner with a medium shadow brush to intensify the liner and smudge it. Follow with a medium shadow horizontally, just above the darker one, and overlapping a bit to create a fade. Repeat this technique with one or two more shades. The darkest shadow should be black, brown, or gray. The lightest color should be ivory, pale gold, or pearl. The medium shades can be anything you like. For the 2012 Met Costume Institute Gala, I used black, bronze, and rose gold shadows on model Liu Wen.
Curled lashes look longer than straight ones and they open up the eye. For long-lasting curl on naturally straight lashes, apply one coat of waterproof mascara, curl with an eyelash curler, and apply another coat of mascara. Non-waterproof mascaras often cause straight lashes to uncurl, similar to moisture undoing the work of a curling iron on your hair."
Keep reading for the eye makeup products Sotomayor swears by.

Remember United States v. Jones? It was the January 2012 case in which the US Supreme Court decided unanimously that law enforcement does not have the right to warrantlessly put a GPS tracking device on a suspect's car. (In the wake of that decision, the FBI turned off 3,000 such tracking devices.)
While the Supreme Court ruled on that important element of the case—reversing the plaintiff's life sentence on federal drug charges—the case (minus the invalidated GPS evidence and everything stemming from it) was sent back down to a lower court to be re-tried.
In addition to GPS tracking, federal prosecutors asked for (and obtained) court-ordered access to Antoine Jones' cell-site data in 2005. Late this year, Jones' attorneys filed a motion to have that location and behavioral data suppressed during a recent pretrial proceeding, citing the precedent Jones set with his Supreme Court hearing.
Last Friday, the judge on the case denied that motion (PDF), siding with federal prosecutors and saying the agents involved were operating in "good faith."
"Because at the time of the applications in this case it was reasonable for the officers to seek an order authorizing the disclosure of cell-site data, it was also reasonable for them to rely on the magistrate judges' orders granting those applications," Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle wrote, citing legal precedent for this line of reasoning.
That decision falls generally in line with many other court orders validating law enforcement's investigative power to surveil and monitor criminal suspects, even if the police can't put a physical device on a car. Such court orders—which can include what's called a "(d) order," or a pen register—require a judge's approval, but not a warrant. These court orders of a lower legal standard likely gave investigators information about who Jones called, when, and where he was when he did so.
As we've reported before, other types of high-tech surveillance and monitoring continue being used by law enforcement on a daily basis around the country. Cops are using everything from tap and trace, ping data, license plate surveillance, and other techniques as a way to keep tabs on suspects and innocent citizens without going through the threshold of a judicially reviewed probable-cause-driven warrant. Historically, judges and courts have been reluctant to halt or slow such requests, but there have been some exceptions in recent years.
Still, the judge presiding over the Jones case, Judge Huvelle, declined to rule on the over-arching question that we all want to know: does the Fourth Amendment, which prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures, require that cops get a warrant if they want to track us by any means? Or can our cellphones be used against us as tracking devices?
"The Court, however, need not resolve this vexing question of Fourth Amendment jurisprudence, since it concludes that the good-faith exception to the exclusionary rule applies," she wrote.
Privacy experts hoped this would continue to raise broader questions about the boundaries between law enforcement and digital privacy, though.
"In the grand scheme of things, this case is not that big of a deal," Hanni Fakhoury, staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told Ars. "It's saying that in 2005, the law was unsettled and [the judge said] 'I'm not going to find their conduct unreasonable and because of that I'm not going to touch the legal issue as to whether people have a legal expectation of privacy even though they turned them over to the provider.'"
Reasonable expectations of privacy in the digital age
The judge here cited the "third-party doctrine," which is the idea that individuals have no "reasonable expectation of privacy" when they give up information with a company or government agency.
In this case, any cellphone user has to give up his or her location to the mobile phone company so they can be provided with service. The logic goes that because an individual has given up that location information to the company, it therefore cannot be considered private in the first place.
"There's a ton of questions left unanswered," Fakhoury added. "It's coming up on the one-year anniversary [of Jones] and it's a good time to reflect and think about what's happened [privacy-wise], and the reality is, not much."
While this new opinion in the Jones case may be disappointing for privacy advocates including the EFF, which wrote an amicus brief for Jones in the case, there may be a chance for courts to more fully evaluate digital privacy in the future.
After all, in the Supreme Court decision (PDF) Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote her concurring opinion that the entire third-party doctrine may need to be reconsidered.
"I would take these attributes of GPS monitoring into account when considering the existence of a reasonable societal expectation of privacy in the sum of one's public movements," she wrote. "I would ask whether people reasonably expect that their movements will be recorded and aggregated in a manner that enables the Government to ascertain, more or less at will, their political and religious beliefs, sexual habits, and so on."
"This approach is ill-suited to the digital age, in which people reveal a great deal of information about themselves to third parties in the course of carrying out mundane tasks," she concluded.

Why use fluorescent lamps and tubes?
CFLs (compact fluorescent lamps) and fluorescent tubes have a much longer lifespan than normal light bulbs, they a brilliant for light distribution and diffusion meaning they have a better light output, with a wider reach than more traditional bulbs and give off less heat, these make them ideal for industrial settings especially when combined with the tone range available such as warm white an cool white. However, there are some environmental risks associated with using fluorescent lamps and tubes as they need to be disposed of properly due to the fluorescent materials and their negative impact on the environment.
Fluorescent tubes types
We carry many styles of fluorescent lighting including circular tubes, straight tubes and a wide range of CFLs with many different bases.
We also stock a range of lighting tones such as; extra warm white, warm white, white, cool white & daylight. Along with the various styles of fluorescent tubes which are measured by their T category which come in different lengths and energy efficiency levels: T5, T8 and T4 being among the most commonly bought fluorescent tubes. We carry two types of fluorescent tube lamp bases such as the G13 and the G5.
What is the difference between the various T5s?
- T4- 13 mm diameter, used mainly in homes for kitchens and cabinets
- T5-16 mm diameter, used in schools and railways ideal for larger spaces, these have less environmental impact
- T8-26 mm, diameter, used in commercial and industrial environments

Los Angeles: Village Pizzeria Resists The Winds Of Change
Village Pizzeria
131 N Larchmont Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90004 (map); 323-465-5566 ; villagepizzeria.net
Pizza Style: New York
Pizza Oven: Gas Deck
The Skinny: Big floppy pizzas full of cheese and grease that are great for families and less-so for pizza geeks.
Price: 14-inch Pepperoni, $12.95; slices, $2.25
A couple years ago, when HBO's (abhorrent) TV show Entourage wanted to reference the quintessential LA pizza hangout, they went with Village Pizzeria. I can't really blame them. Back before Mozza put LA on the big board and Vito re-established his dominance of the slice game, Village was on every go-to pizza list in the city (even Nancy Silverton's). Ten years ago, I was eating there once a week. Now? I check back in every six months or so when I'm recalibrating my LA pizza baselines.
So what changed?
Well, it definitely wasn't Village. It hasn't been modified since 1997 when Steve Cohen, a Brooklynite running a pizzeria in San Francisco, moved his operation down to Larchmont Village, a quaint shopping district that happens to be the nexus of all the dogs, strollers, and yoga pants in Los Angeles. Village still has the same framed photos coating the walls and the same sass from the waitstaff...all the accoutrements that make folks (mistakenly) recognize it as a "real New Yawk sorta place." And while LA's "pizza renaissance" continues to reshape the city, these folks are sending out the same pies as ever.
Village still stands a slice above a slew of LA shops, thanks to their somewhat laborious dough process. They use fresh compressed yeast, ferment their dough balls in individual steel containers, and then push the air out three separate times over the course of a day. I imagine the process is more about "this is how it's always been done" than "this is the best and most efficient way to make good dough," but the results are mostly favorable.
A yeasty undercurrent of flavor can sometimes overwhelm and the crumb is too packed in for my tastes, but the actual texture is fairly light and airy after you bite through the initial band of crunch. As is usually customary, the more color on a pizza crust, the better the taste, but as you can see I was out of practice and forgot to ask for mine well done. This is a mistake you should not make. The ends at Village can get a little doughy when the cooks are too quick on the draw.
So what about the other two basic elements in the holy pizza trinity? Like any good mom & pop shop they're dropping a thick sheet of aged mozzarella (Grande in this case). And though the slightly herby, uncooked sauce is surprisingly delicate and flavorful on its own, the tomato goes AWOL when there's a preponderance of cheese in the vicinity.
I have a documented weakness for pepperoni that curls, but I don't think anyone who likes a little pork on their pie is going to have an issue with the spicy stuff Village serves up. Even in the good old days their plain pizza was always hit or miss, but the pepperoni pie is still one of the better ones in the city. Just know that you're getting into a grease fight, and that the grease will always win. Other toppings, like the housemade sausage and meatballs are a little less reliable; I've had really delicious crumbles of perfectly seasoned sausage and I've had the bland, rubbery stuff. It's your gamble, but I'd say stick with the pep.
The big controversy among Village fans has always been their slices. There's no deli case displaying wares because because the slices come from par-baked pies. Not 80-90 percent cooked pizzas as in most slice joints—closer to 50 percent.
While the wedges aren't sitting out any longer than their siblings behind the glass at places like Vito's and Joe's, the abbreviated double-cook makes a Village slice taste vastly different than one from a full pie. They're obviously crunchier (sometimes too crunchy), but the big change is that heavier toppings like the sausage don't get to commingle with the cheese and sauce. The alchemy gets screwed up in the oven and you just end up tasting different layers that don't gel. Steve will tell you himself, you're safer just taking home a small pie.
So Village hasn't changed, but the pizza landscape got better. Does that mean I need to renounce a place that I used to cherish? Of course not, but when I enjoy a Village pizza these days, I'm aware that the bulk of the pleasure comes from nostalgia. It's the kind of shop you'd take a Little Leaguer to after a tough loss, and there's not many of those places left out here. I'll probably never stop eating at Village...but I quit going for the food a while back.

American Ballet Theatre / City Center, NYC / November 8-13, 2011
This season's gala-event costumes for women of a certain income emphasize cascading ruffles in weak-willed pastels or glowing jewel tones. The men continue to sport black-tie mufti with almost no rakish variation on the theme. Expense is evident, as is the eternal question of hoi polloi concerning the gowns with obviously crushable skirts, How does she sit down in it?
Despite the War: American Ballet Theatre's Luciana Paris in Paul Taylor's Company B
Photo: Gene Schiavone
This fashion report comes from the opening night of American Ballet Theatre's week-long fall season at the handsomely renovated City Center–now gorgeous and comfortable beyond belief. The repertory for the week eschewed the company's multi-act classics (Swan Lake, now in warped form, Giselle, et al.) and wannabe classics (Neumeier's Lady of the Camellias, Kudelka's Cinderella) that ABT offers in its long spring seasons at the Metropolitan Opera House. Each program in the City Center run purveyed three or four ballets that owe more to modern dance (Paul Taylor's), postmodern dance (Merce Cunningham's, Twyla Tharp's), and ballet being catapulted into the future (Alexei Ratmansky's), than to the strict conventions of classical ballet.
Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: Kristi Boone in Twyla Tharp's In the Upper Room
Photo: Rosalie O'Connor
The high point of the opening night show was, incontestably, Twyla Tharp's In The Upper Room. Created in 1986 for Tharp's own company and set on ABT in 1988 the ballet is a powerhouse; it starts at the top of the scale energy-wise and escalates from there. Philip Glass's driving score is a full partner in the dancers' trip to Paradise, assuming that's what the "upper room" indicates.
Upper Room divides its cast into two different sects: those shod in sneakers (affectionately called the Stompers) and those who favor classical dance footgear, which means pointe shoes for the ladies. The two camps eventually merge, as they have in the course of Tharp's career.
Tharp's relentless choreography displays dozens of terrific things you can do when you mate academic dancing with Tharp's personal style, a brew of both classical and modern dance, jazz, pedestrian gesture, and myriad other fascinating ways of moving that she fixed on in her childhood from an eclectic set of lessons and since then through her magpie instinct. Boxing, just for starters.
Upper Room is perfect proof of the fact that Tharp is a demon of patterning. You can feel her brain ticking away as one design succeeds another. Her choreography offers a kaleidoscope of moving bodies arranged in space, each image utterly clear and then gone, giving way to the next, just seconds after you've taken in the preceding one.
The overall pace of the dance seems furious, the action mounting in fervor. The speed makes obvious the risks the dancers are often taking–seemingly without fear but, rather, savoring the reward of attempting the near-impossible and achieving it. It's quite possible that in this piece Tharp is telling us this is one of the main factors that make a dancer dance.
Costumes and lighting are not relegated to supporting roles in this production; they're striking essentials. Norma Kamali designed a wardrobe of prison-striped black and white pajama-like outfits, accented by a blinding red. (The women's gleaming red pointe shoes (worn over red socks) is a terrific latter-day sequel to the demonic footgear Moira Shearer wore in the best dance film ever made.) As the dance progresses, the cast gradually sheds the coveralls to reveal more and more carmine underneath.
The lighting designed by Jennifer Tipton astonished the audience when Upper Room was first performed. She filled the upstage area with a drifting fog from which the dancers emerged–as if by magic–and into which they disappeared. At the City Center performances, which Tipton did not supervise, the entire stage was suffused with smoke that never moved and functioned as a pale gray scrim that never lifted, thus diminishing some of the action.
Starry Night: Herman Cornejo and Paris in Tharp's Sinatra Suite
Photo: Rosalie O'Connor
Herman Cornejo's return to performing after a long recuperation from injury was reason enough to be happy and excited by the evening's performance of Tharp's Sinatra Suite. Cornejo is a unique dancer–an extraordinary technician who, refusing to be typed by his scrappy-kid-brother looks, has extended his abilities to danseur noble roles, modern dance roles, you name it. At his best he's an artist who infuses everything he does with life.
Cornejo wasn't at his best in this duet on opening night, He was having obvious trouble with the lifts, and his partner, Luciana Paris, was of no help to him, apparently having problems of her own. He also tended to separate elements in the dancing that should be fused. He called undue attention to feats demanding classical ballet prowess because he executed them so immaculately, meanwhile failing to articulate the jazzy, gymnastic, and casual elements that are essential to Tharp's signature style.
He was encouragingly better in the closing number, a solo to "One for My Baby (and One More for the Road)." There, the lyrics conjure up a guy who has been through it all telling his sad story to the bartender in a seedy dive about to close for the night. Here, too, Cornejo danced with too much emphasis on the classical bits and too much self-conscious acting, but also with hints that he was beginning to set matters right. The important thing is that he's back on stage. He's not just one of ABT's great stars; he's indispensable.
Sinatra Suite got its ideal cast at a later performance when Paloma Herrera and Marcelo Gomes took the leading roles–they're both innately sexy dancers and have reciprocally crackerjack timing. The richness they brought to the succession of songs that runs from dewy-eyed romance to the inevitable break-up went so far as to hint toward the end that it's the woman, not the man, claiming "I did it my way." Being a generous performer as well as a singular one, Gomes let Herrera go for it.
As for the choreography, not only is it inventive, it's also vibrantly expressive about the shifting moods of love. (In the Upper Room has only one mood: driving on Ecstasy.) To my mind, though, the ballet was even better in its original incarnation, the 1982 Nine Sinatra Songs–more thrilling, more sensuous, occasionally even amusing (remember the bumbling young sweethearts of "Somethin' Stupid"?). Using more songs, that piece involved several couples and was originally danced by the singular members of Tharp's own company, back in simpler times, when the choreographer had her own company.
Five in a Row: A line-up of ABT's male dancers in Demis Volpi's Private Light
Photo: Rosalie O'Connor
The big curiosity of the evening was the premiere of Private Light by Demis Volpi, who is a mere 25 years old. The Argentinean-born dancer-choreographer trained in his homeland, then in Canada, and finally came under the wing of the Stuttgart Ballet, joining the company in 2004. He began to choreograph in 2006 and has enjoyed the support of Stuttgart's Noverre Society, which has aided several emerging choreographers who went on to international fame. He has since gathered much attention and much praise, but I can't join in the applause.
Generous apologists for Volpi are bound to say: He is a beginner and he will learn. But anyone examining the careers of the western world's choreographic geniuses (Balanchine, Graham, Ashton, and Tudor leap to mind) will see that they refined their craft over the years–choosing, according to their own inclinations, whose inventions to imitate, steal from, or build upon–but that their artistry and unique imagination were unmistakably in them from the beginning.
Clearly, Volpi has learned the set rules of his trade. For example: Select a movement theme, state it early on, then thread it throughout the piece, giving it a few exact repeats but even more variations. The trouble with Volpi is that he hasn't absorbed such rules organically; they remain merely intellectual propositions that never become visceral or vivid–or make any obvious point.
In Private Light Volpi fixates on the idea of the line-up, the kind in which the police present a prospective witness for the prosecution with a handful of people (among them the suspected criminal) who resemble one another. They stand under bright light, their bodies evenly spaced in a horizontal line. The Volpi version uses five male-female couples and insists, throughout the piece, on the rule of five, a tactic that makes the ballet feel increasingly tedious and contrived.
A major feature of the piece is The Endless Kiss–heavy mouth-to-mouth smooching. Its repetition is neither interesting nor (as I assume the choreographer meant it to be) funny. Another big deal has one of the men (Joseph Gorak) neatly executing excerpts from a ballet barre without a barre to support him, as a little horde of his colleagues are periodically revealed to be watching him. The solo is a feat, to be sure, but a dry one, and the point of it remains murky.
The central segment of Private Light is a duet for Simone Messmer (who creates a different persona for every one of her ABT roles) and Cory Stearns. Messmer first appears alone, doing one capricious thing after another, like a girlchild who's been brought up under the free-to-be system. When her partner arrives–signaling the beginning of her adulthood–her shenanigans become grotesque enough for the spectator to wonder if she's being abused. She keeps collapsing, a victim in his arms. Am I just imaging this or is Europe's contemporary ballet more tolerant of nasty behavior towards women than we are in America?
The most agreeable element of Private Light was its accompaniment–selections ranging from folk-style music to classical pieces by Albéniz and Villa-Lobos, enticingly played at the edge of the stage by guitarist Christian Smith.
Ménage à Trois: Alexei Agoudine, Xiomara Reyes, and Grant DeLong in The Garden of Villandry, co-choreographed by Martha Clarke, Robby Barnett, and Felix Blaska
Photo: Gene Schiavone
Set to Schubert's beguiling Trio No. 1 in B Flat, The Garden of Villandry, co-choreographed by Martha Clarke, Robby Barnett, and Felix Blaska, had its world premiere with the adventurous Crowsnest group in 1979 and its company premiere with ABT in 1988. It's one of those bagatelles that lasts a surprisingly long time.
Villandry, as the program might usefully have mentioned, is one of the16th-century châteaux on the Loire (small castles, such as fairy tales depict), best known for its elaborate formal gardens. The site, painstakingly refurbished and scrupulously tended, is open to tourists whose reaction, in their myriad tongues, is invariably "lovely" or "amazing."
With the musicians in an upstage corner, a trio in Edwardian dress dances the subtle–and mercurial–relationships among two gentlemen and the lady they both desire. The dancers on this occasion were the perennially lovely Julie Kent; Roman Zhurbin, a sturdily built and quietly resourceful character dancer; and Julio Bragado-Young, who looks like a stock character–the pale, undernourished young tutor of yore who has a few wealthy children under his care and a head full of impossible dreams.
The dancing is a detailed study of the myriad ways in which three bodies can join and intertwine and (very rarely, never creating too much distance between them) separate. Hands touch and withdraw. Gentle kisses, mostly a brush of the lips on a cheek, are given and accepted. Secrets are whispered behind a cupped hand held to the sharer's ear. The lady lets her head fall on one suitor's shoulder and then, playing fair, on the other's. She is swung into the air by both, her long white skirt flying with her–a shroud of chastity, perhaps. She rejoices in the admiration her courtiers give her and sweetly, always tactfully, returns the pleasure.
Imagine, if you're a member of the so-called gentler sex, the most romantic and refined of your female friends actually admitting she wanted to live such a life. "Oh," you might well scoff, "it's like a perfume ad." But then who are you to judge? You don't wear perfume.
As the ballet went on, I expected some crisis to the situation that had been so artfully and meticulously presented, some climactic scene, some horror, perhaps, or at least some melodrama. (Throughout a long and fruitful career, Clarke has regularly revealed her penchant for eerie, alarming scenarios.) Even when I decided that the participants in the trio probably don't crave a solution to their problem, that they no doubt find it exquisitely romantic, I still remained ignorant of the tone the piece was taking toward the whole business. One contextualizing clue: the ballet begins and closes with the three dancers staring reproachfully at the audience as if we lookers-on were voyeurs.
Ménages à Deux: Paloma Herrera and Eric Tamm in Merce Cunningham's Duets
Photo: Gene Schiavone
ABT's acquisition of Merce Cunningham's 1980 Duets, one of the late choreographer's most accessible works, may be a forecast of how that repertory will fare when the Cunningham company disbands at the end of this year, as part of Cunningham's plans for his works' life after his own death. His dances will be released to other qualified troupes, with a former Cunningham performer appointed to set and coach the work.
I can't imagine Cunningham's dances being in better hands than those of Patricia Lent, who transmitted Duets to a pair of ABT casts. In a particularly rewarding Works & Process program at the Guggenheim Museum in October, Lent worked with Isabella Boylston and Craig Salstein, making sparse, concise corrections and suggestions in the most even voice imaginable, never inflecting the information with her personality. She might have been a latter-day guru. Everything she said made good sound sense.
In performance the plainspoken yet mysterious choreography suggested a realm of dancing almost alien to ABT's nonetheless eclectic repertory. It was only natural that many of classical ballet's conventions, deliberately abandoned by Cunningham, automatically surfaced: dancing to the audience; dancing that ended in freeze-frame images; dancing that emphasized the brilliance of a certain step or phrase. But most of the performers seemed to respect the unfamiliar horizons and want to explore them, which is a good sign.
Fighting Depression: A scene from ABT's production of Paul Taylor's Black Tuesday
Photo: Gene Schiavone
Paul Taylor's dances have been well absorbed by ABT's dancers, as was evident in the week's performances of the 1991 Company B and Black Tuesday, created in 2001. In a method Taylor has worked out for himself, both pieces were first done by classical companies and then quickly absorbed back into the Taylor company's repertoire, where they seemed to find their most genuine interpretations. Still, Taylor has long claimed that he has no problem with having his choreography performed with a classical accent. Moreover, ABT's version of the pieces I've named have, a decade or two after they were choreographed, taken on an ebullient life. The reason? Increasing familiarity with the Taylor way of moving and the ability of the upcoming generation of classical dancers to excel in a wide range of styles.
Ballet Blanc: Reyes and Cornejo in Alexei Ratmansky's Seven Sonatas
Photo: Rosalie O'Connor
Alexei Ratmansky's 2009 Seven Sonatas, set to seven of Scarlatti's Keyboard Sonatas (played onstage by Barbara Bilach), is a delectable choreographic feast. I thought it marvelous when I first saw it, but it's even more gratifying now, having grown richer through repeated performance–and through my own better appreciation of it after repeated viewings.
As usual, Ratmansky is rigorous here, offering a cornucopia of invention without leaving the context in which he's working. And as usual his choreography is packed with evidence that he has learned from the masters he honors. He even pays them overt homage; I spotted brief quotes from Fokine, Bournonville, and Balanchine, among others. And of course there are little jokes–amusements, rather–along the way, which seem to reveal the sheer pleasure that dance gives him.
Three couples constitute the cast of Seven Sonatas, so it might be called a chamber ballet. It might also be termed a ballet blanc because it's costumed in white–for the men as well as the women, actually–and because it refers to the Romantic vein of purity and fleet, weightless execution. It also seems to be plotless, but Ratmansky is an irrepressible creator of subtexts. At one of the two performances of the piece that I saw in ABT's crammed week at City Center, I was convinced that the ballet was revising the story of Bournonville's La Sylphide: Young man captures the otherworldly sylphide and–guess what?–they proceed to live a charmed life, full of laughter. Ratmansky danced and choreographed for the Royal Danish Ballet for several years, so he must know the Bournonville version by heart.
ABT's week at City Center was a terrific stylistic challenge to its dancers, a showcase for performers exiled to lesser roles in the blockbuster multi-act works that prevail in the company's long spring season at the Met, and a way to attract an audience that isn't mired in old conventions. Is it possible that the company's two profiles can be reconciled? If that seems impractical, how about two weeks at City Center next year?

Solar PV Energy
Would you like to harness the power of the sun with solar photovoltaic energy to cut down your electricity bills and carbon emissions?
Would you like to 'do your bit' for the planet we live on, so that its not completely ruined for our children?
Well, don't worry, because we'll take you by the hand and show you all there is to know without getting bogged down in all that 'geekspeak'. The facts speak for themselves.
So what is solar pv?
Well, the history of solar energy is a varied and colourful one.
Solar photovoltaic energy – or solar PV for short – is a solar power technology that uses solar panels to convert light from the sun directly into electricity.
Grid-connected solar pv energy has had a massive growth since 1990's in the more developed countries of the world. In fact you can get PV solar cells for sale just about anywhere these days.
Solar PV energy is still a more expensive technology than most other forms of renewable energy, but it has many advantages over other systems.
Doesn't PV technology need bright sunshine to work properly?
Solar panels will output a certain amount of electricity, which is determined by how intense the sunlight is. In the case of PV solar cells, they generally generate an increased amount of electricity when it is a sunny day than when it's cloudy.
However, photovoltaics do not need to be in direct sunlight to work, so even on overcast days PV solar cells will be generating some electricity.
Is PV suitable for use in cooler climates, for example, the UK?
In the UK, we get 60% of the sunlight received at the equator – so there is still a lot of potential solar pv energy available! PV has been used in the UK over the last 20 years or more for many applications, particularly in remote areas where grid connection is impractical, such as weather monitoring stations, marine navigation aids, etc.
A reasonably sized residential grid connect system will offer a decent percentage of a homeowners electricity requirements for over half a year, and installing solar panels on business sites are suitable for the average consumption an office will use. Over 1.5 MW of building integrated PV is already installed in the UK.
Another inexpensive solar option would be to install solar powered fountains, or solar power outdoor lighting in your garden.
Or you could DIY a system for next-to-nothing if you have the skills.
And did you know that you can connect your solar energy panels to the grid?
Yes, with electricity prices at an all time high and rising all the time, solar energy will make you never be beholden to the power companies.
You will need to use a solar power inverter. If you wish to get paid for the electricity you produce, you will need to ensure a G83-certified inverter is used.
Something worth noting is we see a lot of people utilising non-G83 certified inverters while not having an export account. In the majority of instances, the consumption of electricity will exceed what's being put back into the grid, therefore, the net effect is likely to be zero export.
For more information go to our FAQ section for solar PV energy.
And you can also claim solar energy grants to help with the cost.

Okay, I am joining in on the fun! My good friend April posted about her "favorite" things after reading some of her friends blogs. (her post is here) I read her post, got great ideas, read the links to her friends posts and ended up with awesome new labels for Colin's cups and a fantastic new drink bottle for Colin that stays cool even at the pool!! Awesome! Therefore, I am going to participate, too. I love getting new ideas! So here is some stuff that I am loving right now...
1. City Pools! Let me tell you, things have come a LONG way since I was a kid...almost all the cities around us have awesome community pools complete with water park amenities like beaches, lazy rivers, water slides and splash parks. Now, we do have 7 community pools in my subdivision, so I never even thought about looking at city pools before. My friend Tanya got us started this summer and we are in love. They are super cheap for day passes ($7 or $8 almost everywhere) and kids 3 and under are generally free or next to nothing. We pack picnic lunches and spend our mornings there. Colin LOVES it and it feels like a little vacation. This is the kind of fun that you could only have at an expensive big city amusement park when I was little. I love finding inexpensive things to do with Colin in the heat! WIN!
2. Thermos cup! You all need this cup. With all this time at the pool, I have been having a hard time taking juice for Colin and keeping it cool for longer than 5 minutes. We got this cup a couple of days ago and it is AWESOME. It sat in the sun for more than 2 hours yesterday at the pool and was very hot to the touch when I picked it up. I took a sip for myself and sure enough...the apple juice was still cold! They have a whole collection of these thermos cups and I will absolutely be getting more. I could even bring something like chocolate milk out and about now without worrying about the temps! (and Colin thinks it is awesome that he can open and shut the lid himself)
3. Netflix "Watch Instantly". I have been a member of Netflix for ages. It is pretty dang cheap and something that I don't even think much about anymore. I knew they had some stuff that you could watch instantly on your computer, but I never thought much about it. Well, I figured out a couple of weeks ago that they have a GIANT library of kids stuff available to watch online. Literally hours and hours of choices and you can sort the options by age group! I checked "2-4 years" and let Colin scroll through the whole menu. He LOVES picking out what to watch, they have literally everything under the sun available, and it keeps Colin occupied when I need to actually accomplish something important (like shower!). It is a handy tool to have around when you need to get something done. It has lots more novelty than just turning on the TV, since the options are so varied. And the way they display the movies is great for letting the kids pick their own choice. I think Colin also likes feeling like a big guy sitting at the computer!
I could probably write more, but my computer time is up for the day. :-) Even the simple stuff that you don't think about could be something that a friend never thought of, so this is so much fun to participate in! I am going to try to think of more good stuff to share! Thanks, April!

Hey guys. What we're going to do is add pages to the thread listing so you can just click on the latest page, much like the other iterations of our forums.
So just to the right of replies, you'll see ( 1 2 3 4 ... Last) -- Or something along those lines.

That would take quite a bit of time to work out, since the whole system would have to be tweaked to do that. I'm not ruling it out in the future, but for now we have more important changes to take care of first.2 Replies
This would probably be quite a bit of work as well, but any chance of an automatic spell checker for the spelling disabled like myself?
I get the impression these forums are kinda like buying a kit car vs. buying a mass-produced car off a dealer lot.
I'm sure the finished product can be great (eventually), but it'll take some time for it to look finished.

How was the brewery Jim? I'm not much of a drinker so I've never gone to one, not that there are any up here, but it could probably be a neat experiance.
It's a small brewery. I like most of what they make, though (about 9 or 10 things they market, at any given time).
The one I tried, last night (the Maple Bush Lager), was pretty good. I bought a case.
Free pizza. From a bank.
Hmmm...1 Reply
It looks like I am getting a Samsung Galaxy. I played around with one, briefly, in a Bell store. It seems alright.
The pizza thing...
From out of nowhere, a Domino's delivery fella comes to our store. He has a couple of pizza boxes that are branded by a bank (specifically, a dealer finance centre we work with).
It just seemed odd to have Domino's & TD Financing Services on a pizza box.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Costs tied to the long-running shutdown of California's San Onofre nuclear power plant have soared to $553 million, while the majority owner raised the possibility Tuesday of retiring the plant if it can't get one reactor running later this year.
The twin-domed plant between San Diego and Los Angeles has not produced electricity since January 2012, when a tiny radiation leak led to the discovery of unusual damage to hundreds of tubes that carry radioactive water.
Edison International — the parent company of operator Southern California Edison — reported Tuesday that $109 million has been spent through March 31 on repairs and inspections, while $444 million was needed for replacement power.
SCE has asked federal regulators for permission to restart the Unit 2 reactor and run it at reduced power for a five-month test period, in hopes of stopping vibration blamed for tube damage. Without that approval, Chairman Ted Craver told Wall Street analysts in a conference call that a decision on whether to retire one or both reactors might be made this year.
Carver's disclosure highlighted the growing pressure and uncertainty the company faces as one of California's most important sources of electricity sits idle. When running, the plant's twin reactors can power 1.4 million homes.
Edison is facing a tangle of regulatory obstacles that include a Nuclear Regulatory Commission review of the restart plan and a separate state investigation into who should pay for the trouble — customers or shareholders. Meanwhile, anti-nuclear activists and some lawmakers have said firing up the plant would lead to a disaster.
With questions about whether the plant can restart, mounting costs and who picks up the tab, "there is a practical limit to how much we can absorb of that risk," Craver said.
The problems at San Onofre centre on steam generators that were installed during a $670 million overhaul in 2009 and 2010. After the plant was shut down, tests found some generator tubes were so badly eroded that they could fail and possibly release radiation, a stunning finding inside the nearly new equipment.
The generators, which resemble massive steel fire hydrants, control heat in the reactors and operate something like a car's radiator. At San Onofre, each one stands 65 feet high, weighs 1.3 million pounds and has 9,727 U-shaped tubes inside, each 0.75 inch in diameter. Hundreds of the tubes have been taken out of service because of damage or as a preventative step.
The trouble began Jan. 31, 2012, when the Unit 3 reactor was shut down as a precaution after a tube break. Traces of radiation escaped at the time, but officials said there was no danger to workers or neighbours. Unit 2 had been taken offline earlier that month for maintenance, and investigators later found unexpected wear on hundreds of tubes inside both units.
In June, a team of federal investigators announced that a botched computer analysis resulted in design flaws that are largely to blame for the unusual tube wear. Company engineers believe that running the plant at lower power will halt the damage.
Overall, investigators found wear from friction and vibration in 15,000 places, in varying degrees, in 3,401 tubes inside the four generators. And in about 280 spots — virtually all in the Unit 3 reactor — more than 50 per cent of the tube wall was worn away.
Decaying generator tubes helped push San Onofre's Unit 1 reactor into retirement in 1992, even though it was designed to run until 2004.
San Onofre is owned by SCE, San Diego Gas & Electric and the city of Riverside.

The Board of Selectmen voted 4-0 to offer Bradley Weber a one-year contract as fire chief.
Selectman Sheila Dibb abstained from voting.
Mr. Weber is the assistant fire chief and EMS director in Lexington, Mo.
The board initially voted 3-2 against appointing acting Fire Chief Seth Knipe as the town�s next fire chief.
�I would prefer the devil we know than the devil we don�t,� Mrs. Dibb said. �We�ve had some very difficult transitions with new department heads.�
Selectman Leroy �Skip� Clark said that he was not in favor of hiring Mr. Knipe because he originally told the board that he would not apply for the permanent chief position, and did not inform the board about his change of heart.
�When he mentioned it to me, I said that he should be sure to inform all the members of the board,� Selectman Michael Pantos said. �But he did not do that.�
The split in the selectmen�s preferences caused enough concern that the board briefly considered reopening the search with a new search committee.
�I want to decide this tonight,� Selectman Joseph Becker said.
�We need to make a decision,� Selectman Peter Letsky said.
After the vote, Mr. Clark said he would contact both candidates and inform them of the board�s decision.

Digital Marketing Frequently Asked Questions
What is Digital Marketing?Simply put, digital marketing is any type of marketing that's done online. Of course, that covers a lot of ground, but it can be narrowed down to five major areas — Search Engine Optimization (more commonly known as SEO), Paid Search, Email Marketing, Social Media Marketing and Business Listings — which we cover in detail below. The main thing to know about Digital Marketing is that, when done right, it can deliver incredible results at a fraction of the price of traditional marketing.
Our Digital Marketing Suite gives you one place to manage all of these major areas, so you can spend less time figuring out different platforms and jumping from site to site and more time getting results and focusing on your customers.
What is SEO?As mentioned above, SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, which is exactly what it sounds like — optimizing your site for search engines so you get the highest rank possible. This involves everything from technical elements like header tags and alt text to simply writing good content that is useful to your users. Most midsize to large companies have individuals (or even entire departments) dedicated to SEO, but smaller companies need to rely on other methods in order to compete.
Our Digital Marketing Suite includes SEO tools that anyone can use, even if you don't know the first thing about websites. Just answer some question about your business and our SEO tools will make technical changes behind the scenes, as well as give you direction on what you can do to improve your SEO through your content.
What is Paid Search?Paid Search is the flip side of SEO. While SEO is focused on "organic" search results — those that occur due to a site's relevance, structure, etc. — Paid Search are the ads you see on the above, below and to the right of organic search results. Like SEO, Paid Search cannot be easily explained in a short paragraph. To do it manually would require deep understanding of effective keywords, the competitive landscape and countless other factors.
What is Email Marketing?Email marketing is, of course, marketing your business by sending emails to new and prospective customers. While the overall concept couldn't be much simpler, there are a lot of methods, best practices and even federal laws relating to email marketing.
The email marketing component of our Digital Marketing Suites guides you through every step, from building your mailing list to creating a beautiful email to analyzing the results. Most importantly, it ensures that everything you do is within the law, so you won't be labeled a spammer.
What is Social Media Marketing?Chances are you're already doing some Social Media Marketing. Anytime you post about your business on social media, you're marketing it. It's very straightforward, but it's also very time consuming. Shifting from one platform to the next to make sure you're showing up everywhere you need to be is a full-time job.
Digital Marketing Suite solves this issue by giving you a single dashboard to manage your profiles on Facebook and Instagram, as well as address customer comments and reviews on Google's Business Listing. The same dashboard even includes your SEO controls, so you can manage all of your digital marketing efforts from one place.
What are Business Listings?The most overlooked area of digital marketing, Business Listings are what show up when customers look for you on Google Maps, as well as other sites. These listings are often created automatically, which means the information is pulled from whatever records are available. The result is listings that often have missing or incorrect information, like an old address or phone number.
With our Digital Marketing Suite, you're in control of what information is displayed, so you can always be sure that it's complete and up to date. Better yet, when you create or update your Business Listing in Digital Marketing Suite, your information is automatically applied to multiple sites, so you save a ton of time and your customers always find the right info.

Column: Revenue Needed
In the midst of the ice storm, Sioux Falls Mayor Mike Huether declared an emergency, which allowed the city to tap private contractors for assistance in dealing with all the damage. Now the mayor has held a press conference asking for volunteers to help with clean up.
Volunteerism is one of the noblest aspects of humanity. Anyone who is willing and able to volunteer for this effort should do so. Let's be clear though, the city shouldn't need volunteers. Effective city government is run on tax revenues, not goodwill.
There are many ways to raise tax revenue; it doesn't have to come from a personal income tax, although many cities do it that way, or a property tax. Sales taxes should be avoided whenever possible because of their regressive effects.
The tax could take the shape of a fraction of a percent on business profits over a set level, say $125,000 or so. It wouldn't negatively impact small business owners, or drastically impact the prices that we pay, but it would make a significant amount of money for the city.
Some of that money could sit in a rainy day account, and some of that money could be used to improve some woefully underfunded city services. Have you tried to get anywhere on a city bus lately? Probably not, because unless you are headed to a fairly short list of places and happen to live right next to a stop, you would find it awfully inconvenient to do so.
Obviously, ice storms with this sort of destructive capacity are a freak event and won't occur every year, but strange things do happen pretty often. The notion that cities should function on a shoestring budget, raising only the minimum amount necessary to fund its basic services only leads to one thing; a city so incapable of operating effectively that it has to ask for charity.

It has been a busy summer for all of us so far.
Heidi and Chloe got out of school on Wednesday, June 2, and used the rest of the week and weekend to pack for their trip to Ottawa, to spend time with their siblings, Holly and Ben.
They flew out first thing on the Monday morning for their three week visit.
Rich and I flew out the next evening, for our trip to Italy, which I will be starting a new blog for soon...
Rich and I were gone for two weeks, came home on a Wednesday night, and the following Monday morning, all four of my kids flew here from Ottawa.
Usually the only time I get to see Holly and Ben is at Christmas time, when they fly in for a week or so.
At that time of year though, there are nine of us in the house, which means lots of cooking and cleaning for me, and lots going on at any given moment- translating into very little time to spend visiting and talking with my kids.
So this year, we planned for Holly and Ben to come and stay for a week when it WASN'T a family holiday...
We had SUCH a good time! We shopped off and on, we talked, we worked in my studio... all of my kids are artistic, and they enjoyed spending time creating things.
The kids had a day at Elitch Gardens, the amusement park in Denver, and Rich and I took them to the Colorado Renaissance Festival over the weekend. Despite the rain we got in the afternoon, it was a fun day.
We celebrated Canada Day with a nice steak dinner and poppers that we bought at the store. We were at the Renaissance Festival on the fourth- we came home and grilled burgers (with homemade fries too, of course!), and then the kids had fun setting off the fireworks that Rich had bought for them. What a guy, that Rich. He's a keeper!
They all walked up to get ice cream a number of times from Baskin-Robbins, where Heidi works. They bought copious amounts of Ben & Jerry's ice cream for home, as we have flavours here that they can't get in Canada.
There was lots of Beatles Rock Band, lots of ice cream eating, lots of laughing and teasing, lots of joy in us all being together as a family again.
Last night we had to take them to the airport to return home to real life- and NOT, as Holly hilariously pointed out to me, the G-rated version of their lives that they were living while Heidi and Chloe were there... lol
There are just some things that a mother doesn't need to know.

However, you can also look at our compact prediction based on any other model that forecasts for your chosen location.
The following models are available for Haamaste küla:

This plot displays the 14 day temperature forecast for your selected location, Haamaste küla.
The red numbers show the expected high temperature for a given day, while the blue numbers show the expected low temperature. Because forecast uncertainty increases with time, we also display the range of possible high/low temperature outcomes, shown as the shaded red/blue regions. The actual high/low temp could fall anywhere in that shaded region, and the larger the shaded regions are, the higher the forecast uncertainty is.

If the range of possible outcomes is narrow, you can have high confidence in the forecast. If the range is wide, you know there's more uncertainty, and to not give too much credence to any one possible forecast outcome. We also have other products such as Meteograms and Forecast XL elsewhere on our site to give you additional options for figuring out the forecast for Haamaste küla.

Taste Test: Milks Not From a Cow
All products linked here have been independently selected by our editors. We may earn a commission on purchases, as described in our affiliate policy.
"Hemp milk, like hemp necklaces, should be avoided."
Of all the taste tests here at Serious Eats, this one probably wins for least likely to make us fatter. Milk does a body good, but what about milk that doesn't come from a cow? Does it do a body nauseous? We tried vanilla "milks" made of soy, almonds, rice, goats, oats, and even hemp (sorry, no yaks). Judging was based on taste, texture, color, and ability to properly wash down a PB&J.
If you're lactose-intolerant or just looking for an alternative to the old-fashioned cows' milk, see which brands are drinkable.
Best Soy Milk
Silk: Of all the soy milks we tried, this was definitely the least offensive, both in taste and color. While it has a pretty pronounced soy aftertaste, something like liquid tofu, it kind of grows on you. Throw it into coffee or cereal to add some non-dairy pizazz. silksoymilk.com
Passable Soy Milk
Trader Joe's Generic Brand: Does it taste like milk? No, not really at all. It's much sweeter and that camel color--what your cereal milk turns after the cereal infusion part--is a little disorienting. But if you get past that, it's really not that bad. traderjoes.com
Best Almond Milk
Blue Diamond Almond Breeze: While it deserves credit for not tasting like cardboard, it doesn't necessarily taste like almonds either. Sweeter, almost on milkshake terms, it was more like a chocolate bar with almonds. It definitely beat competing brand Pacific Natural Foods, which you should do yourself a favor and never put in your mouth. bluediamond.com
Best Animal Milk Not From a Cow
Meyenberg Goats' Milk: Finally, a liquid that doesn't remind us of hospital colors! It was white (automatic points). The only way to describe the taste? Goaty. It definitely came from a goat. It's always good to be true to your name. If you've ever felt like chèvre should come in liquid form, drink this. meyenberg.com
Most Like Skim Milk
Rice Dream: Thin and runny, this didn't have the chalkiness that many of the others did. Like skim milk, this doesn't leave a lasting impression but maybe our palates were just rocked too hard by the goats' milk. It was definitely too sweet for a PB&J pairing. tastethedream.com
Not Recommended
Organic EdenSoy: This was the loser of the soy milk category. Not only was it the most unappetizing shade of milk (a brownish blech) it tasted like you just swallowed a chalkboard. edenfoods.com
Pacific Natural Foods Oat: Yes, oat milk exists. The leading brand Oatly is actually a huge hit in Europe. Made from oat groats (hulled grain broken into oat fragments), it's mixed with water, barley, and other grains. Oatmeal enthusiasts: this will depress you. Stick with the warm cereal goop. At its best, oat milk tastes like cookie juice, but there are also hints of Robitussin. pacificfoods.com
Hemp Dream: Though we scored on a 1-to-5 scale, this earned a negative five million. It tastes like rope. Gray with unappetizing flecks, hemp milk, like hemp necklaces, should be avoided. tastethedream.com

Banzai Pipeline (Ehukai Beach Park)
The Billabong Pipe Masters, the final stop of the Vans Triple Crown and the final event of the ASP Men's World Tour, is the perfect venue for the culmination of both series. An iconic and historic wave, the Banzai Pipeline is often referred to as the best wave on the planet. Known for its perfect, heaving top-to-bottom barrels and its close proximity to shore, not only is it the perfect wave for those willing to charge, but also for the spectators on the beach.
Part of the allure of Pipeline is that with the perfection comes consequence. Pipeline is one of the most dangerous waves on the planet. It has claimed more lives than any other wave in the world—one fatality a year, on average—inflicts numerous injuries and breaks boards for a hobby. The cause of danger, a shallow slab of reef with crevasses and coral heads, is also the reason for the barreling shape and immense power of the wave.
Whether competitors drop into a wedging Pipeline left or free fall into a Backdoor right, surfing Pipe, especially big Pipe, requires a physical and mental commitment all to itself. It's why the Pipe Masters title is so prestigious and its champions are some of the most highly respected surfers on the planet.
