Smithtown board to discuss convenience store with gas pump
A proposal to build a gas station and convenience store at the intersection of two busy state highways will be discussed Tuesday by the Smithtown Town board.
Garden City-based Bolla Operating Corp. is requesting a zoning change for the store and filling station, which would be located at the northwest corner of state routes 347 and 111. The site, which is vacant, had been occupied by a gas station until it closed at least three years ago, said town planning director Frank DeRubeis.
The town board will discuss Bolla's application at 10 a.m. today at Town Hall, 99 W. Main St., Supervisor Patrick Vecchio said. He declined to comment on the proposal.

In addition to the former gas station site, Bolla purchased an adjacent property that is zoned for residential uses, DeRubeis said. The company is asking the town board to rezone the residential parcel for a neighborhood business so that it has sufficient land for the gas station.
DeRubeis said he opposes the rezoning because the gas station would be "on one of the most congested intersections in the town. As a planning policy, I don't think it's a good idea to do that."
Bolla officials did not return a call for comment Monday.

Have you ever lost a bracelet because it came unfastened and you didn't know it? I have - you just about want to cry don't you? Do you have a favorite bracelet you don't wear because you're afraid to lose it? I've had one like that. How about a bracelet with a magnetic clasp that stuck to a grocery cart handle, and you didn't know it? I've had that happen too. :) Well no more - This short tutorial is for a very simple solution to those problems; written for beginners, but just as useful for non-beginners.
For this tutorial, I'm using the crystal bracelet from one of my newest tutorials - Back to the Beginning - Beginner Crystal Bracelet - though this technique will work for any number of finished bracelet styles including most commercially made bracelets.

What inspires me??? Hmmm..... Everything!!..... I'm not being cheeky, everything seems to inspire me - most days' designs and ideas pop into my head, and I'm not fully aware of what triggered them. I keep notepads everywhere, and have even had to pull my car out of traffic, to jot down design ideas before they evaporate. Though after cutting off a Sheriff last year, I am more careful to look before I zip out of traffic. I was so intent on jotting down my thoughts, I didn't realize I was holding up a "wait a minute finger" to a cop, until he tapped on the window a second time. I will admit the look on his face; after I babbled for 5 minutes to explain myself, was priceless. Thinking of him walking away, muttering and shaking his head, still makes me smile.
I have always had a love of creating in one form or another--I'd kill for the telephone wire pieces I made back when I was 10 or 12yrs old!!! Since then I have tried silk screen printing (had a 'real job' at that for 2 yrs); furniture making, leather work, whip braiding, pottery on a wheel, wood carving, stamp carving, and finally landing on wire jewelry. I had been 'playing' around with beads in my spare time for many, many years. A dear friend introduced me to wirework in 1988 after a car accident ended my career as a graphic artist. I fell head over heels in love with wire, and though I play with other jewelry mediums from time to time, I always come back to wire.
My favorite quote, from Chuck Palahniuk - "The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will"; isn't just a catchy tagline either. I want what I make to last a lifetime, and I want to teach people to do the same. I always work with that in the back of my mind.
Sometimes I miss the normal perks that come with a 'regular job' - you know - vacations, sick days, dental - but only sometimes. When I start to miss them, I just remind myself of the really great perks I do have - like making my own hours, playing with pretty shiny things all day, and working in my jammies if I want too :D
Wrap happy,
~~~We all die. "The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will." ~Chuck Palahniuk

text: Britain's Hammond: Perfect Example of Hypocrisy Towards Israel Print article Send a Tip by Joel B. Pollak 30 Jul 2014 post a comment Newly-installed British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond criticized Israel on Wednesday for defending itself against Hamas terror, in terms that neatly encapsulated western elites' hypocrisy towards the State of Israel. Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today, Hammond suggested--without evidence--that Israel might have committed war crimes by using force that is disproportionate to its military objectives. Hammond added: "Israelis have to understand that while they are defending their security in seeking to root out these rocket launchers and deal with the attack tunnels, they are also undermining the support for Israel that exists in the west." In other words: Israel has the right to defend itself, but in doing so it undermines its own political legitimacy. The unspoken corollary--that a defenseless Israel is better--demonstrates the absurdity of Hammond's position. Such posturing by European governments in general is the result of pressure from left-wing parties and from the large Muslim majorities they have absorbed in recent decades, often from former colonial possessions. British officialdom has a particular history of animosity towards Israel, dating back to the mid-20th century. The same approach is seen on the American left lately, most clearly in President Barack Obama's policies. The standard applied by Hammond and others is not merely a double standard but an impossible one, which nevertheless creates real diplomatic pressure on Israel. At bottom, Hammond and his ilk not only believe should not defend itself, but cannot--as Prime Minister David Cameron's predictions of the death of the two-state solution indicate. In the past, Israeli will and innovation has proven them wrong--yet the hypocrisy always returns.

Two new restaurants will transform eating out at one of London's finest venues this summer.
The well-known River Terrace Café at Somerset House has been completely re-designed to become Tom's Terrace when it opens on 29 April. Underneath a futuristic canopy diners will enjoy protection from the London summer whilst enjoying stunning views of the river Thames.
With an informal, relaxed, al fresco-style menu created by Michelin starred chef Tom Aikens, Tom's Terrace will be a refreshing addition to open-air restaurants in the West End. The menu will include Tom's Kitchen Tasting Board (which includes Coronation Crab Salad, Mini Burgers and Tartine of Red Onion and Aubergine Compote), Grilled Paillard of Chicken Salad, Hot Smoked Loch Duart Salmon and a delectable range of desserts such as Eton Mess and Mango Rice Pudding.
The existing Admiralty Restaurant will be transformed into "Tom's Kitchen at Somerset House". Tom's Kitchen restaurant in Chelsea has been a remarkable success and the concept, including the menu, will be unchanged in the larger, grander surroundings of Somerset House serving signature dishes including Daylesford 7 hour Confit Lamb and Spicy Crème Brulee. The Deli will sell a selection of lighter fare including Lentil and Goat Cheese Tart, Parma Ham and Artichoke Pissaladiere and Roast Chicken, Grape, Endive and Walnut Salad.
"We've been looking to re-fresh our restaurants at Somerset House for some time," said Jerome Ibanez General Manager "and with Tom we have found a partner who can deliver this re-fresh with style. Somerset House is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful locations in the capital – a must visit restaurant for all diners in the West End. We look forward to offering diners the opportunity to savour both the views of London and the exciting menus on offer – a great addition to complement the summer season of cultural events at Somerset House."
"Everyone who goes to Tom's Kitchen in Chelsea raves about the food, the ambience and the service. We are going to take all that and add a dash of architectural splendour to the mix. Tom's Kitchen at Somerset House is set to become a big player, setting the standard for the London restaurant scene."
Tom's Kitchen at Somerset House will open this summer, replacing the Admiralty Restaurant. The menu at Tom's Kitchen at Somerset House will be the same as in Chelsea. The existing Tom's Kitchen and Tom Aikens Restaurant will remain independent. Tom's Terrace will be open daily from 9am – midnight.

How many times this week has your morning commute, or just plain driving to the grocery store, turned into a road-rage-inducing nightmare? A soccer mom steals your parking spot. A cell-phone guy cuts you off on the freeway. A student driver nearly rear-ends you at the mall. Take heart. Honku: The Zen Antidote to Road Rage is all you need to lower your blood pressure and make you forget that jerk in the yellow SUV. A collection of more than one hundred very funny haiku (or honku), this book shines its brights on the dark side of America's car culture. Distilling the daily horrors of driving, parking, and ordering from the drive-through into a time-honored and respected verse form, Honku transforms annoying moments behind the wheel into the stuff of poetry and will leave you in a state of enlightenment and bliss. Well, at the very least it'll make you laugh. A diverting read that may inspire you to pen your own haiku, Honku is the perfect fit for the glove compartment, to be pored over while you're stalled in traffic on the interstate.

Generalized thyroid hormone resistance (GTHR) is a disorder of thyroid hormone action that we have previously shown to be tightly linked to one of the two thyroid hormone receptor genes, c-erbA beta, in a single kindred, A. We now show that in two other kindreds, B and D, with differing phenotypes, there is also linkage between c-erbA beta and GTHR. The combined maximum logarithm of the odds score for all three kindreds at a recombination fraction of 0 was 5.77. In vivo studies had shown a triiodothyronine (T3)-binding affinity abnormality in nuclear receptors of kindred A, and we therefore investigated the defect in c-erbA beta in this kindred by sequencing a major portion of the T3-binding domain in the 3'-region of fibroblast c-erbA beta cDNA and leukocyte c-erbA beta genomic DNA. A base substitution, cytosine to adenine, was found at cDNA position 1643 which altered the proline codon at position 448 to a histidine. By allelic-specific hybridization, this base substitution was found in only one allele of seven affected members, and not found in 10 unaffected members of kindred A, as expected for a dominant disease. Also, this altered base was not found in kindreds B or D, or in 92 random c-erbA beta alleles. These results and the fact that the mutation is predicted to alter the secondary structure of the crucial T3-binding domain of the c-erbA beta receptor suggest this mutation is an excellent candidate for the genetic cause of GTHR in kindred A. Different mutations in the c-erbA beta gene are likely responsible for the variant phenotypes of thyroid hormone resistance in kindreds B and D.

I've been on these forums since 2006. I've had at least 5 accounts permanent banned for "trolling". I can change my IP address so there is no getting rid of me. I feel that mods throw permanent bans around so wildly because they know people come right back. In effect, it's just a way to remove all of someones reps rather than neg train them.
Ironically, I've never even done anything bad on these forums. I don't steal money from people, I don't post personal information, I don't make racist comments. My last account I was banned for "encouraging a government raid" for telling the misc that I reported BoostBrah to the police. This is but one example of the nonsense I'm talking about. Meanwhile, former frauders are made into mods. You know who you are.
I don't care that I've been banned so much, these forums are just entertainment and a source of cool info for me. That all said, how many times have you all been banned?

Best Italian for "Classic" Italian?
- s
- strikeoutswinging Dec 19, 2012 08:50 AM
Hi all - I'm back again to get some expert opinion/advice on a restaurant for my girlfriend's birthday...
I put "classic" in quotes, not because I'm looking for real/authentic Italian, but because I don't know how else to describe the type of Italian she likes...
She likes straight-forward, simple pasta dishes - like bolognese , pomodoro, vodka sauces, etc. One of her favorite restaurants is Bianca on Bleecker Street (http://www.biancanyc.com/home.html), which is great and all, but since it's her birthday I'd love to take her somewhere a little nicer.
I made a reservation at Babbo - but after looking over the menu this seems much more my taste than hers...
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
re: Sneakeater
Very interesting; I had assumed Del Posto was out of the question given its reputation as a 'higher-end' Babbo (in terms of price anyway). I'll take a look at it... and thanks for the other rec.
I figured that high-end Italian restaurants don't ordinarily serve pasta vodka, but I figured if anyone would know it would be someone on this forum
re: Sneakeater
"Believe it or not, the closest you're going to come to that kind of food on the high end is Del Posto."
I got a very different vibe from the OP. A Vodka sauce at Del Posto? I don't think you would ever find that on the menu. I gathered that the OP was looking for more "classic" Italian-American/rustic food. Del Posto serves a somewhat more authentic Italian menu; such as you might find in a higher end restaurant in Italy. If the OP thinks Babbo is out of the running, then I would venture to guess Del Posto would be also.
@strikesoutswinging: I don't have a suggestion off the top of my head, but perhaps if you give us a bit more info on her likes and dislikes, I can come up with a suggestion or two.
re: ttoommyy
I said "the closest". Not "right on target." High-end restaurants just don't serve the exact kind of food he's talking about.
I think that Del Posto's menu is much more middle-of-the-road than Babbo's, which skews toward the inventive.
I think, for example, that DP's hundred-layer lasagna would be JUST what the OP's girlfriend would like. Sure, some other things on the menu would be more of a stretch. But there would be things she'd like. Contrast that with Babbo, where practically everything on the menu would terrify her.
re: Sneakeater
Babbo wouldn't frighten her unless the noise did. Imho Babbo serves the best Bolognese I've ever had in a restaurant.
re: ChefJune
I may hang out in less sophisticated crowds than you (you're a chef, after all), but I know people who would only have to see the three words "lamb's brain ravioli" on a menu in order to bolt.
Lincoln makes a great bolognese, carbonara, linguine alle vongole, and has also prepared a simple pomodoro for a friend of mine upon request.
The rest of the menu is more creative but I think your girlfriend would enjoy the classic side dishes like the gnocchi and the eggplant parm. The menu changes daily but the staff tries its best to accommodate requests for simpler dishes.
Also consider Il Mulino. I haven't been there yet but the restaurant seems to get good reviews and the menu might be what you're looking for.
I'd stick with Babbo and share some pastas.
A lot of the dishes seem fancy and nontraditional, and some of them are, but many of them are really just excellent versions of dishes you'd find on many "classic" Italian-American menus. For example, at a quick glance I see linguine with clam sauce, orecchiette with sausage and broccoli rabe, pappardelle bolognese.
I don't think you'll find vodka or alfredo sauces on any restaurant menu that is worthy of a special occasion.
I recommend you consider Scarpetta where she can have the s paghetti w/ tomato (much loved here, but oft debated for its 24 dollar price tag) and you can get something like pasta w/ rabbit or black cod. And you can start with delicious soup or something like that. I esp like bar dinig there, even for bdays.
I agree that she might love Osteria Morini's pastas, but its a bit loud/unromantic for a bday.
And while this is very casual/inexpensive, i can't even count how many women hav told me that their fav place is Malatesta: some simple pasta and wine and tiramisu there, combined with a surprisingly nice gift might be an even more special night than at the higher-end places.
Cheers and please report back
re: knucklesandwich
Trattoria Trecolori
Bianca is also my favorite Italian place (and I'm a girl). Between Del Posto and Babbo, I would suggest Babbo, if nothing else because it is significantly cheaper (I took my husband to Del Posto for his bday, and while delicious and memorable, it was an investment meal) and you can do the pasta tasting which will prob be more up her alley if she likes pasta. As for some of the other suggestions, I lived a block away from Malatesta and went there quite a bit though only because I lived a block away -- the food is inferior to Bianca and the atmosphere about the same. I was very disappointed in Scarpetta but perhaps we ordered wrong? Another place, not mentioned here, that I was disappointed in was Il Buco Alimentaria.
Supper in the East Village is a similar vibe to Bianca and the food is solid, very slightly more expensive. If you are looking a change of scenery it could be an option though they do not take reservations.
Torrisi Italian Specialties was fantastic though it is not exactly red sauce.
I have also had good meals at Corsino, Spasso, and L'Artusi in the West Village.
Gemma at the Bowery Hotel was solid. Frankies Spuntino is always a great option (highly recommend the sausage cavatelli).
Also, Locanda Verde was good but it is may be loud and the service is spotty.
I have also heard great things about al fiori and maialino though I have been to those yet.
Hope this helps.
re: wvilny
Oh and I forgot -- we just did a girlfriend's birthday dinner at Porsena and it was great. All five pasta dishes that arrived were delicious. I had the canneloni which was reminiscent but more delicious than Bianca's lasagna. It's not fancy (as many on my list aren't), but I think very fancy restaurant plus classic style pasta often just don't go together. For my birthdays, a delicious meal, good service, lots of wine, not being rushed, is all that I want.
re: nybroker
The balsamic glaze squirted on the pasta at Osteria Morini made me think I was in Olive Garden, not Italy!
re: DavyTheFatBoy
Why? I've seen that done in Italy, especially in the Emilia Romagna region. And was it a glaze or just a thick, aged balsmico? I find a lot of the food a Osteria Morini to be pretty true to its Italian roots.
Based on your post and all the suggestions CH'ers made, I add the following: I can't see how your gf wouldn't like Babbo, regardless of what she usually likes. There are "tomato sauce dishes" at Babbo.
----- Po has a good tasting menu that you can customize. They have good pasta with sausage ragu, one with duck ragu. The meatballs are good too.
------Lavagna has good food but might not seem fancy enough.
----ACAPELLA has exactly the kind of food she likes, it is not a "new" Cool place, it is old school, nice decor, feels like a birthday place. It's in the heart of Tribeca.
-----Ponti's also might be good
----Il Cantinori for sure
---- Morandi might even be good
re: ieatanddrinkwell
Haha yeah I'll probably avoid asking for the special 'off the menu' vodka sauce wherever I go...
Thanks for all the responses. A lot of great options listed, some I had never heard of before. I'm going to keep to Babbo for now and look through all of these suggestions, thanks again!
Vodka sauce and red sauce I'm thinking Rubirosa. Quite good but its far from high end.
I agree with everyone that you should be fine at the high end places like DP, Scarpetta, and I would even throw in Marea to the mix where you have simple but great dishes like cheese ravioli with pesto
Thought I would post on update:
I ended up taking her to Malatesta Trattoria ( 649 Washington Street ) based on a recommendation below. The reviews online made it look in line with her tastes and, in fact, she loved the meal. The spinach gnocchi and veal meatballs in particular were standouts.
I thought the atmosphere was a bit loud, but she really liked it - to each his/her own.
Thanks again everyone for all the recommendations; they didn't go to waste as I'll keep these places in mind when it's time to pick a place for MY birthday!
re: strikeoutswinging
Thanks for reporting back; so often people do not. Glad your girlfriend enjoyed the meal, as that is what was most important. Cheers.
re: strikeoutswinging
Delighted that it worked out

The winners of the Gramophone Classical Music Awards 2014 have been announced.
The awards, which have been running for 37 years, celebrate the best in recorded classical music and once again this year, a number of Royal Opera artists and recordings were shortlisted.
Jonas Kaufmann won in the solo vocal category for the second year running, this time with his recording of Schubert's Winterreise. The German tenor performed the work live at Covent Garden in April 2014.
The DVD release of The Royal Opera's Written on Skin won in the Contemporary category. This Gramophone Award follows South Bank Sky Arts and RPS Music awards for Katie Mitchell's production of George Benjamin and Martin Crimp's opera.
Other Gramophone Award winners this year include Iestyn Davies and Richard Egarr's Wigmore Hall recital recording of Arise, my Muse, and Glyndebourne's production of Ravels L'heure espagnole/L'enfant et les sortilèges double bill.
This year's winners will be presented with their awards at a ceremony in London on 17 September. See the full list of 2014 winners.

Giselle is now available to pre-order on DVD and Blu-ray from the Royal Opera House Shop, online and in person.
Pre-ordering your copy online means that you'll receive a discount.
Peter Wright's production, based on Marius Petipa's classic version of the ballet, features Natalia Osipova as Giselle – in her first role as a Principal with The Royal Ballet – and Carlos Acosta as Albrecht.
Considered by many to be the greatest of all Romantic ballets, Giselle is a tale of betrayal, enduring love and supernatural forces. The ballet tells the story of a young peasant girl who falls in love with a villager, but her discovery of his noble identity has devastating consequences.
Natalia's portrayal of Giselle was described as 'technically and artistically supreme' by the Telegraph and as 'a revelation' by the Guardian. Read audience reactions to the opening night.
Giselle will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on 1 September 2014. Buy your copy now.]]>
Kasper Holten's Royal Opera production of Don Giovanni is now available to pre-order on DVD and Blu-Ray from the Royal Opera House Shop, online and in person.
Pre-ordering your copy online means that you'll receive a discount.
The production, Kasper's second for The Royal Opera, focuses on the power of the creative imagination and stars Mariusz Kwiecień as the famous anti-hero alongside Alex Esposito and Véronique Gens. Its high-tech stage design, which sees imagery projection-mapped onto the rotating set, was particularly noted at its March 2014 premiere. Read audience reactions to the production.
As well as eye-catching design, at the heart of the production is Mozart's iconic score, featuring gorgeous arias, dramatic duets and brilliant layering of dance melodies.
Don Giovanni will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray on 1 September 2014. Buy your copy now.]]>
Juliet and Romeo (Mats Ek, Royal Swedish Ballet)
There's not a great deal of Mats Ek's work available on DVD so it's welcome to see the release of his new Juliet and Romeo. Very much a modern interpretation of Shakespeare's classic tale it uses a selection of Ek's favourite music by Tchaikovsky rather than the more typically-used Prokofiev score. The Royal Swedish Ballet are very much accustomed to Ek's unique style and they bring out the best of it here.
Notre-Dame de Paris (Roland Petit, La Scala Theatre Ballet)
Roland Petit's tragic Notre-Dame de Paris, originally created for Paris Opera Ballet in 1965, has been recorded for posterity by the Ballet of the Teatro all Scala. Recorded in 2013 the outstanding cast includes The Royal Ballet's very own Natalia Osipova guesting as Esmerelda and former Royal Ballet Guest Principal Roberto Bolle playing out of type as Quasimodo. It's a bright, colourful production and features dancing of the highest calibre and wonderful costumes by French fashion icon Yves Saint-Laurent.
Sasha Waltz - A Portrait (Dir. Brigitte Kramer)
Sasha Waltz is almost as far away from classical ballet as it's possible to get, and yet just last year she premiered a new Rite of Spring with that most traditional of companies, the Mariinsky Ballet. Sasha Waltz – A Portrait is an intelligent documentary by Brigitte Kramer that follows the choreographer's career from 1992 to 2007 and charts the progression of her radical and influential choreography.

The Royal Shakespeare Company's Richard II starring David Tennant is now available to buy on DVD and Blu-ray.
The release marks a new partnership between the RSC and Opus Arte, the Royal Opera House's multi-platform arts production and distribution company.
Opus Arte, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Royal Opera House, released its first DVD in June 2001 and has grown rapidly to become one of the world's leading providers of high-quality classical music content. As well as releasing many Royal Opera House productions on DVD and Blu-ray each year, the label also works with other leading arts organizations such as Glyndebourne, La Scala, Paris Opera Ballet, and the Bayreuth Festival.
This new collaboration with the RSC will see the release of their Live from Stratford-upon-Avon series on DVD and Blu-ray. The hugely successful production of Richard II, directed by Royal Shakespeare Company Artistic Director Gregory Doran, is the first in this series.
Richard II is available to buy both online and from the Royal Opera House Shop.]]>
As part of our series of recommended recordings from the Royal Opera House Shop, this month we take a look at releases from two great singers and a conductor with strong connections to the Royal Opera House.
Juan Diego Flórez - L'Amour (CD, Decca)
Juan Diego Flórez breaks new ground with L'Amour, his tenor still as centred and thrillingly agile, but now showing a touch of steel that - as recently hinted - will allow him to move into a broader repertoire. L'Amour is the kind of record you thought might never be made again – a recital of French lyric arias, previously so much the territory of Nicolai Gedda and Alfredo Kraus, but here superbly sung by Florez and showing immense promise for some heavier roles: his two excepts from Werther make one really want to hear him restore this role to its rightful voice. This is an hour of unalloyed pleasure.
Parsifal - the Metropolitan Opera (DVD/Blu-Ray, Dir: Francois Girard)
Francois Girard's production of Parsifal at the Met does not stake new dramatic or interpretive milestones, instead he allows the story to unfold organically in vistas of breathtaking beauty that echo the music without dictating its intent.
The cast fielded here could have made Parsifal work on a bare stage, but allied to Girard's hieratic symbols and ever-shifting projections, it grows into something of overwhelming beauty and power: the last moments are, as any great Parsifal should be, transcendently lovely. Kaufmann's Parsifal must now be without competition: singing with immense strength and dramatic intensity, he is exceptional in all his key moments, and never less than immersed in the whole - this is no star turn. René Pape's Gurnemanz is a known entity and again he leads the field today in this marathon role, singing with beauty and detail throughout, Peter Mattei towers as the ideal Amfortas, Evgeny Nikitin excels as Klingsor, and Katarina Dalayman offers a Kundry that is perhaps a little below the achievements of her colleagues but is nonetheless superb. Daniele Gatti conducts, taking the Met Orchestra places it has not been for a while. I would urge you to own this Parsifal: it is a very special experience.
Jonas Kaufmann - Winterreise (CD, Sony)
Jonas Kaufmann's take on Winterreise might split opinion: those who will hear it live at the Royal Opera House in April will doubtless make their own minds up, but as an audio experience, Kaufman seems to me ideal in this rare outing onto the lieder stage. His gritty tenor perfectly mirrors the angst-ridden narration, the voice opens up thrillingly at key moments, and above all the drama is seen as a linear experience: each song is given its own treatment but not at the expense of the bigger work. Is he too theatrical with it? Perhaps, if you prefer your lieder more intimate, but for me Kaufmann catches both the naivety and despair central to the text and to Schubert's agonized settings. Helmut Deutsch is a perfect accompanist, supporting, colouring and adding to the implacable flow of the cycle.

In the Spirit of Diaghilev (Sadler's Wells)
Recorded in 2009 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first performance by the Ballets Russes, In the Spirit of Diaghilev features premieres from four top international choreographers associated with Sadler's Wells; Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Russell Maliphant, Wayne McGregor and Javier de Frutos. Arguably the highlight is Maliphant's Afterlight (Part 1), a stunningly beautiful solo created for, and performed by, Daniel Proietto. Set to Erik Satie's Gnossiennes, the extraordinary communication between Proietto and Michael Hulls' dappled lighting results in a work that's quite unlike any other piece of dance.
Also included are Cherkaoui's sublime Faun, McGregor's multi-disciplinary Dyad 09 and de Frutos's Eternal Damnation to Sancho and Sanchez - a sordid account of a perverted priest desperately searching for amusement (definitely not for children, that one).
Ashton Celebration (The Royal Ballet)
The Royal Ballet's Ashton Celebration is notable not only for including Ashton favourites La Valse and Monotones I and II but also as a memorable document of Tamara Rojo's farewell performance at Covent Garden. She dances an emotional Marguerite and Armand with Sergei Polunin in the same performance that was screened in cinemas around the world in July 2013.
Push (Sadler's Wells)
Russell Maliphant also features on the other Sadler's Wells release Push, a collaboration with the grande dame of the dance world, Sylvie Guillem. Consisting of four individual works - Solo, Shift, Two and the eponymous Push - the two performers stretch each other all the way in this exceptional series of decidedly different contemporary works.

George Benjamin and Martin Crimp's groundbreaking Written on Skin is now available to buy on DVD from the ROH Shop.
The opera had its UK premiere at Covent Garden in March 2013. It was an instant hit with audiences and critics alike, and has since been featured in the New York Times as a 'standout opera of recent decades' and in The Telegraph one of the best operas of 2013. The opera was also nominated for a South Bank Sky Arts Award, and George Benjamin won the Stage Works category in the British Composer of the Year 2013.
Described in the Telegraph as 'enthralling and enchanting', the intense production features a 60-piece orchestra under the composer's baton, a cast of five acclaimed singers (including Christopher Purves and Barbara Hannigan), and a dark and dramatic staging by Katie Mitchell.

Kasper Holten's production of Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin is now available to buy on DVD and Blu-ray from the ROH Shop.
The production had its premiere in February 2013 and was relayed live to cinemas around the world during the run.
Tchaikovsky's tragic work is based on Alexander Pushkin's poem of the same name. The production is the director's first for The Royal Opera and foregrounds the power of memory and regret. 'It is about real people and something that we can all identify with,' says Kasper. 'It needs to have a direct emotional communication with the audience. It is special and fragile but also passionate.'

This week sees the opening of the Bolshoi Ballet's three-week season at Covent Garden. Though it's a relatively short visit by the famous Russian company, there are several DVDs available from the ROH Shop showcasing the repertory and the dancers that will be performing:
The Flames of Paris
Another highlight of the Bolshoi's season is the return to the fold of Ivan Vasiliev and Natalia Osipova. For one already sold-out night they'll be starring in The Flames of Paris, Alexei Ratmansky's re-working of Boris Asafiev's Soviet drama set in the French Revolution. Fortunately for those unable to get tickets, a DVD and a Blu-ray filmed in 2010 captures Vasiliev and Osipova performing The Flames of Paris with the Bolshoi – their famous pas de deux near the end is one of the most astonishing ballet sequences available on DVD.
The Sleeping Beauty
Yuri Grigorovich's new production of The Sleeping Beauty marked a milestone for the company. It was created to celebrate 2012's grand re-opening of the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow and the performance at the ROH is the first time this no-expense-spared extravaganza of astounding courtly scenery and stunning costumes has travelled outside of Russia. The DVD and Blu-ray feature Svetlana Zakharova as Princess Aurora and David Hallberg as her Prince Désiré, the same couple who are scheduled to dance these roles on 6 August.
La Bayadère
La Bayadère is always popular and the Bolshoi's lovely production has now been committed to DVD and Blu-ray. Furthermore, to celebrate the Bolshoi's return to Covent Garden, the Royal Opera House Shop has been granted exclusive rights to sell this brand new recording from 29 July 2013, several months before its official release date in the autumn. The casting is fabulous and features Svetlana Zakharova as Nikiya, Vladislav Lantratov as Solor and Maria Alexandrova as the dastardly Gamzatti – the same trio who'll be performing at the Royal Opera House on 2 August.
Treasures of the Russian Ballet
Finally, for those who love the historical aspects of dance, there is Treasures of the Russian Ballet, a DVD that shows extracts of Swan Lake from the Bolshoi's first ever tour to Covent Garden in 1956. Filmed by the BBC under the watchful eye of Margaret Dale, it also includes highlights from Cinderella, Giselle, Gayaneh and Don Quixote (all filmed in 1963) and, as an extra bonus, also features the Kirov performing Act 1 of The Stone Flower at the Royal Opera House in 1960.
A number of other Bolshoi Ballet productions are available on DVD and Blu-ray from the Royal Opera House Shop.]]>
Laurent Pelly's production of Giacomo Meyerbeer's rarely staged Robert le diable has been released on DVD and is available from the ROH Shop.
The opera tells the story of Robert, Duke of Normandy, who travels to Sicily in the hope of marrying Princess Isabelle. His sinister companion Bertram, however, threatens to lead him astray. Read our Opera Essentials guide to Robert le diable.
The 2012 production of the opera saw the work's first Covent Garden staging since 1890. The release stars Olivier Award-winning Bryan Hymel, Marina Poplavskaya and John Reylea. Read audience reaction to the opening night.

Grand opera
Robert le diable is a classic grand opera and constructed on a massive scale with dances and extended choruses as well as introspective arias and intense duets. In a guest blog post by historian and author Simon Schama, it was described as being 'bigger, louder, more everything'.

Tonight (23 February 2013) sees the final performance of a programme of short ballets by the founder choreographer of The Royal Ballet, Frederick Ashton. Among the works featured are a tribute to the Viennese waltz (La Valse) and the modernist Monotones I and II.
The reunion of Sergei Polunin and Tamara Rojo for Marguerite and Armand has been hotly anticipated and in the film below Tamara talks about the poignancy of her farewell performance with The Royal Ballet.
For those who crave more behind the scenes material, the cinema screenings will feature additional footage. Following a summer cinema release in July 2013, the DVD will go on sale at the end of 2013 / start of 2014.
You can also watch a piece of rehearsal footage of Royal Ballet Principals Edward Watson, Marianela Nunez and Federico Bonelli being coached in Monotones II by Anthony Dowell (Former Director of The Royal Ballet) and Lynn Wallis (Principal Coach). On the day of the recording for cinema and DVD Nehemiah Kish replaced Federico Bonelli. The rest of the cast remained the same.

The DVD release of Richard Jones's Royal Opera production of Puccini's Il trittico has been nominated for a prestigious BBC Music Magazine Award, to be decided by public vote.
The Olivier-nominated production, features a triptych of emotionally panoramic one act operas - Il tabarro, Suor Angelica and Gianni Schicchi. The trio were first performed together on the same bill at Covent Garden in September 2011.
Of the DVD release, BBC Music Magazine said:
'We so rarely see Puccini's whole triptych: here are all three operas in vivid and memorable productions by Richard Jones. Suor Angelica, the most challenging, is genuinely moving rather than sentimental with Ermonela Jaho powerful as Angelica; Il tabarro is a dramatic whirlwind with Eva-Maria Westbroek a convincing Giorgetta and Lucio Gallo blazing ferociously as Michele. He returns for a deliriously funny 1950s Gianni Schicchi.'
Those voting online before the closing date of 28 February 2013 will be entered into a draw to win prizes including a top of the range audio player and all of the nominated CDs and DVDs. Cast your vote online.
Richard Jones's new production of Benjamin Britten's Gloriana runs from 20 June - 6 July 2013. Tickets are now available.]]>

The recent production of Il trittico has been released on DVD, giving audiences another chance to see the acclaimed Richard Jones staging.
The Olivier-nominated Royal Opera production featuring a trio of one-act Puccini operas was first performed together on the same bill at Covent Garden in September 2011, and was acclaimed by the Telegraph as "an operatic treat... three hours of gorgeous music that allows big voices to let emotion rip" and by the Evening Standard as "a triumphant vindication of the social awareness and dramatic power of Puccini's triptych".
The trio of operas offers a panorama of emotions, with the dark and foreboding Il tabarro and comic Gianni Schicchi bookending a heart-wrenching Suor Angelica.
Blog Entartete Musik live tweeted the opening night and profiled each of the pieces prior to curtain up.
Conductor Antonio Pappano gave insights into the two new productions in the triptych. Watch the maestro reveal more about the music of Il tabarro and Suor Angelica

The production will also be screened on BBC Four at 8pm on three consecutive Fridays: Il tabarro on the 15 June, Gianni Schicchi on the 22 June and Suor Angelica on 29 June.]]>
The DVD featuring Les Patineurs, Divertissement and Scènes de ballet, all choreographed by Frederick Ashton, is now available to pre-order from the Royal Opera House Shop.
The DVD will be released on 1 November 2011.
Les Patineurs evokes the Edwardian skating rink, with all its youthful charm and humour, in contrast to Scènes de Ballet where sharp geometric shapes and the music of Igor Stravinsky are combined to create perhaps Ashton's most modernist work. Divertissements, a collection of eight short dances, features some of Ashton's most lyrical choreography, including pas de deux set to Romantic masterpieces by Tchaikovsky and Massenet.

Acclaimed by Gramophone Magazine as showcasing "A great night at the house", the DVD of Verdi's Don Carlo won in the DVD Performance category at this year's Gramophone awards.
Nicholas Hyntner's production was acclaimed by the press on stage and this home release reveals the same high standards in the transition.
Gramophone praised the DVD release for avoiding the potential difficulties of the piece: "Don Carlo is notoriously hard to get right...even the end is tricky – where Carlo gets dragged off by a mysterious monk (but is it his grandfather? A ghost? Or just a monk?)".
Reviewer the late John Steane felt that the DVD even improved upon his impressions of the production on stage.
Other winners included Dame Janet Baker who won the Lifetime Achievement Award and Don Carlo conductor Antonio Pappano who triumphed on three occasions, also winning in the Editor's Choice category for his recording of Rossini's Stabat Mater for EMI Classics and for his part in Jonas Kaufmann's effort in the Recital category.

CHIEFLAND, Fla. (AP) - Deputies say an 84-year-old north Florida man was injured when a pit bull attacked him while he was mowing his lawn.
Levy County Sheriff's spokesman Evan Sullivan says Julius Arwich had dog bites on the head, neck, arms and legs and lost a "tremendous amount of blood" during the Saturday afternoon attack.
Arwich told deputies the attack was unprovoked.
The Gainesville Sun (http://bit.ly/QJSFfI ) reports the dog's owner was issued four citations including failure to produce evidence of a rabies vaccination.
The Sun reports Arwich was in stable condition Sunday after undergoing surgery on Saturday night.
Levy County authorities seized the dog and another one from the owner. The dogs are being confined at Levy County Animal Services. A hearing is scheduled for Sept. 11.

Across the woodsball fields and speedball arena of Long Live Paintball, contenders dodge the colorful fire of their opponents as they leap over cable spools and post up behind a charred bus or towers of barrels. It's on these obstacle-ridden grounds that dye-slingers compete in elimination-style games or battle to complete a given mission, such as capturing the adversary's flag and using it to pick popcorn kernels out of their teeth. Admission rates range from simple entry fees for the fully equipped to all-day Gold packages that supply players with a marker, 500 paintballs, and all the other necessary provisions. Rentable chest protectors cushion trunks from crossfire, and disposable camo cuts down on the time players spend fusing their DNA with that of a tree. Although the field is generally first-come, first-serve, the staff can prepare for parties of 10 or more with an advanced reservation.

"In three years, I've never repeated a workout. Who wants to do the same thing over and over again?" said Total Core Fit Camp?s head trainer, Ryan Toth, according to Fighting For Life. The seasoned athlete's creative, constantly varied workouts have drawn more than 400 fitness seekers to his program and earned a feature on News 12's Get Fit Fridays. Amid his studio's pull-up bars, kettlebells, and punching bags, Ryan and his staff of fellow certified trainers lead functional workouts, favoring blasting through total-body movements over working on weight machines or running on treadmills. Ryan?s dedication to fitness seeps into his personal life as well, as you can spot his wife Dori sweating alongside him while their three young children watch and record their critiques.
Ryan and the trainers encourage their students to achieve healthy lifestyles beyond the classroom with nutritional counseling, arming them with custom meal plans, nutrition tips, and wholesome recipes. His online program provides busier patrons with complete at-home workouts, enabling them to bust moves at home or during their manager's long-winded motivational speech at the office.

Mar 1, 2014I am not a fan of IOS games, I never play on a smart phone or tablet. That said, this is angry birds, its published by Activision so of course its overpriced, and lets face it, there is only so many ways to variate birds crashing into pigs no matter what platform your playing on. As a 3DS title, the graphics are sharp and very good, the controls are very simple and comfortable, the sound is decent. I've played through about 22 levels so far and it is fun for a short while, like most Angry Birds it doesn't hold your interest for hours and hours. I've read other reviews that claim its too short or doesn't contain enough levels but I feel its appropriate (for me anyway). I bought this on sale, my advice is wait for a price drop or buy it used at gamestop. Don't pay full price because you can always play it for free on your phone. My low score is reflective of cutscenes and the simple fact that it is overpriced at retail and honestly its very limited and linear.… Expand
Dec 14, 2013Angry birds Trilogy was a lot of play time... loads of modes, included the original game, Angry birds Rio and Angry birds Seasons all the dlc stages for them from the IoS versions all available. This... travesty is 1 very short ios game which does not include the AB:SW2 stages and is priced at the same lvl as the Trilogy game... really an utter shame that this doesn't include more. Especially while angry birds Space is out there and Bad piggies could have been used to bolster this to a full sized trilogy again but nope, just an utter piss take for 40euros, avoid like the plague, just get AB:trilogy on the 3ds if you want to play some nice casual stuff, really there is a ton of content in that.… Expand
