It's an omnisexual variation on François Truffaut's "Jules and Jim," although stylistically, with its emphases on hipper-than-thou attitudes and moody-blues visuals, it's much closer to the early work of Jean-Luc Godard and Wong Kar-Wai.
In a sense, Heartbeats demonstrates that Dolan has a lot on his mind as a budding filmmaker.
There are risky plot choices all along the way, but the risks are what keeps the pot boiling as the complexities of the relationship triangle heat up and cool down.
There are moments of heartbreaking beauty in it – although Dolan is still a work in progress. He'll get better – he's immensely talented – but he's not quite there yet.
There's a lot that works in Heartbeats - so much that its flaws stand out in disappointingly sharp relief.
Director Dolan gets the feeling of emptiness so right that anyone who has ever known the heartbreak of a crushing affair can easily identify, even with subtitles.
Style over substance? Well, yes, but Dolan's a precocious talent (a decent actor, to boot), and at the advanced age of 21, has all the time in the world to deal with weightier matters. Heartbeats, meanwhile, is fluff - engaging, moody, visually snappy fluff.
Right now, his (Dolan) work is fun to watch. Before long, it may very well be mandatory for anyone who values great filmmaking.
Far from being a liability, Dolan's youthfulness gives it unmistakable vibrancy: This is a love-crazy, movie-crazy affair, laying bare its emotions just as plainly as its influences.
A light, slight, wry look at the beautiful and besotted, which gets away with not having much to say, thanks to its charm and excessive good looks.
Militantly superficial and revels overmuch in its campy gay sensibility, but is sporadically fun if not taken too seriously.
Monologues delivered by assorted unidentified losers in love who relate their unhappy stories to an unseen listener lend Heartbeats the semblance of a structure. But beyond that, the movie is a gush of gorgeous images and music.
Though his results are sometimes raw, Dolan seems to be chronicling heartache as he discovers it. Indulge him.
Splashy colors, oddball framing, super-cool threads and cranked-up retro music supply the picture's bizarre love triangle with a dance-club atmosphere that'll seduce young audiences of most any orientation.

Yeah? And NOK pays a higher dividend than them all, but you really wouldn't want to bet on them against AAPL, MOT and all the rest in the crowded telecom field. What's your point? That WWE pays a higher dividend? So what? WWE just slashed their dividend bigtime. Don't you really want a dividend that's been raised each year for say, the last 35 years?

Photographic Art — and Beyond. National Salon 2016, 23 April - 26 June 2016
The mission of the National Salon of Photography that opened on 23 April in the Kunsthalle (Hall of Art) in Budapest is to reveal the transformation of Hungarian photography over the past decade. My work is represented by three landscape photographs in this immense showcase of 150 artists, which seeks to place the work of different genres, styles and sources of inspiration into groups that "communicate" and co-operate with each other. The photographic art in the exhibition has been curated by Klára Szarka.
All three photographs can be ordered as limited edition fine art print on our website, see Fine Art Prints menu.
Since 2005, we have traveled together as a team, constantly being on the move to explore and photograph landscapes and wildlife, with special interest in the Nordic countries. Our projects capture different parts of the "Cap of the North", in a never-ending search for surprising scenes and the magic light that is so characteristic of this region. It is the desire to get back to our roots — to live with nature that inspires us to create the images that we do.
We are members of The Photo Society, a group of contributing photographers for National Geographic Magazine.

KRAKOW, Poland (AP) – Roy Hodgson's installation as England coach a month before the European Championship appeared to be a major gamble.
Now it seems like a canny move.
Those who questioned the English Football Association for delaying the replacement of Fabio Capello for three months have gone very quiet.
After a miserable 2010 World Cup performance, a reinvigorated England squad will march into its Euro 2012 quarterfinal against Italy on Sunday.
The 64-year-old Hodgson has quickly generated a feel-good factor in a unified squad, which was often lacking during Capello's authoritarian reign.

VBXShort for Visual Basic Extension, a reusable software component designed for use in many different applications. While VBXs can be used in other environments, they were initially created for developing Windows applications with Visual Basic. An application developer can use a number of selected VBXs to quickly develop an application. While similar to objects, VBXs do not have two of the properties (inheritance and polymorphism) required by true object-oriented systems.
Many different companies offer specialized VBXs for tasks such as controlling instruments or image handling. However, VBXs are being superseded by ActiveX controls, which are more flexible.

Naughty Pines: Part One #4 - Falcon
Models: Chris Bines and Brian Bonds
Film: Naught Pines Part 1
Studio: Falcon
Brian set up camp in a secluded part of the forest, so when he awakes with morning wood, he begins what he thinks is a solo jerkoff. Lucky day: Chris is hiking and spots Brian jacking off, so he walks over and helps himself to some cock. Chris uses one hand to guide Brian's dick and the other to roam the fur on Brian's chest. Brian stands and sheds his remaining clothes, then kneels to suck Chris in return, swallowing every inch of cock. Chris grunts, 'Nice!' Brian ups the ante with a finger up Chris' hole while he sucks, then Brian asks to get fucked. Primed for hole relief, Brian sits on Chris' lap, one foot on the ground and the other on the table. He pinches his nipples and tells Chris, 'Jack my dick!' Chris works Brian's dick until thick waves of cum roll down the shaft and drip to the forest floor. Brian stays hard, so he continues to ride Chris' pole, stroking himself to a second climax. Still Brian's cock demands more: he grabs Chris and fucks him until it's Chris' turn to unload the wad his nuts have churned up. Just wait 'til you see what the finish has to offer.

If Aspen Santa Fe Ballet is a classical company, where's their Swan Lake? "That's like asking a grocery store why they don't sell automobiles," says Artistic Director Tom Mossbrucker. "It's not what we do."
What the company does do—stage contemporary work with classically trained dancers in two hometowns—sets them apart in the artistic and business worlds. When Mossbrucker and Executive Director Jean-Philippe Malaty created the company in Aspen in 1995, founder Bebe Schweppe gave them no template, no mandate and just enough money to last them two years. Their solution to staying solvent was twofold: set work from some of modern dance's biggest names on bunheads, and partner with a presenting group in New Mexico to pool resources and viewers.
The 10-member company now presents three mixed-rep programs and a Nutcracker in each town annually; the rest of the year it's on the road. Making this model work requires a heightened cost consciousness: "Aspen and Santa Fe are close—it's a five-hour drive in good weather," Mossbrucker says. "We don't fly, we don't use live music, we have minimal sets and costumes, and we use a nonunion crew."
With the exception of the almighty Nutcracker (which brings many companies about half their annual revenue), the company doesn't offer big, showy story ballets like Swan Lake or Dracula, which cost more to produce but are easier to sell. Still, viewers have warmed to the company's innovative repertory and athletic delivery. And the dancers (chosen for what Mossbrucker calls "clean, strong classical technique and open minds") like the ongoing artistic challenge of mastering new styles.
Aspen Santa Fe's Portland program will show off that range with Dominique Dumais' sans detour, a piece on pointe about the darker reaches of women's psyches, and choreographer-of-the-moment Jorma Elo's Pointeoff, an abstract and structurally complex work that "keeps unfolding and unfolding until the end," Mossbrucker says. In between is Sweet Fields, Twyla Tharp's movement mediation on faith, set to Shaker hymns. Getting such disparate ideas to hang together is tricky, but it seems to be working so far: Says Mossbrucker, "The key to our success is that we didn't know what we were doing."

Artist Fabian Oefner is on a roll these days, creating all kinds of scientifically-based artistic creations that cannot be missed! We absolutely love his watercolor mosaics and colorful dancing sound waves, so we just couldn't resist featuring his out-of-this world Nebulae project.
The series appears to feature tiny stars, galaxies, and astronomical phenomena in the very, very far distance. In reality, each photograph focuses on the glowing ends of a fibre glass lamp. Using a long exposure, Oefner moves the glowing lamps around a pitch black room to create streaks of light across the frame. Afterwards, he overlays multiple images in Photoshop to create the type of depth that we see when we look up into the night sky. The final results are filled with a vibrant energy that he dubs "outer space in studio." Oefner says, "What I personally like about this project is how you can create an illusionist space with such simple means, that are familiar to everybody."

"Start spreading the news..."
The Boston Celtics are ripe for the picking.
Don't laugh.
Meeting the reigning Conference champions in the opening round of the playoffs is rarely grounds for such optimism.
But the first round matchup between the New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics will be far from the whitewash many would have predicted just weeks ago.
Relieved of those vagabond shoes, Carmelo Anthony is finally at ease.
King of the hill.
Top of the heap.
Eastern Conference player of the week.
If seven straight wins wasn't enough for the league to take notice, the return of a healthy Amar'e Stoudemire will be.
Returning to the playoffs for the first time since 2004, a couple post-season wins will be granted with a passing mark. But this Knicks outfit has the potential to do so much more damage.
And here's why.

Adding plants to your rock wall can create a beautiful, cascading effect. This is a guide about growing plants in rock walls.
I have some rock walls that I would like to have sedum and vinca grow in the wall. I've tried adding some dirt and in some places that was easy. But the vinca died, which I thought was supposed to be a hardy plant. I've been transplanting stuff for years so this isn't a new thing. Any ideas why it died? My neighbor has it all over her walls and it is beautiful.
Also, and suggestions on how to anchor some other plants to the walls?
By Mindy from Terrebonne, OR
And I should add that the rock wall is vertical, literally a wall with no slope. thanks!
You don't say how much soil was there for the vinca roots. With insufficient soil, the roots die off very quickly. I have hen and chicks in my rock wall, and they do well there. I put them in as I built the wall, so they can root into the soil behind them. I've tried adding plants after the wall was built, but didn't have any luck. Hope this helps.

How key will Antwan Barnes be to the Jets pass rush this season? Our man Erik Frenz over at Bleacher Report seems to think that his role is key and wise with all the beef up the middle.
For all this praise of his pass-rushing abilities, Barnes is not the best run defender. At a svelte 251 pounds, he has trouble setting the edge against bigger offensive tackles, but that's where the Jets' recent drafts comes into play.Barnes is fair in run defense, but it's definitely not his strength. The addition of a player like Barnes, who knows how to play in a Ryan defense and who can be a plus in pass rush, but not be a liability against the run like Aaron Maybin has been in the past is key. Barnes will likely play just a substitutional role, but his ability to pressure off the edge will be key.
They have focused on adding beefy defenders for their defensive line, and while the likes of Muhammad Wilkerson, Quinton Coples and Sheldon Richardson are all regarded as solid interior pass-rushers, they also don't sacrifice size against the run, with all three weighing over 290 pounds. Coples himself has moved to outside linebacker this offseason, and will be providing his rush off the edge along with Barnes.

Trial date set for men charged in murder of Des Moines man
A Des Moines man accused of killing one of his friends last January because he thought the man was a child molester goes to trial Nov. 13, 2012 at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent for first-degree murder.
Prosecutors will argue that Denzil Rick Moore, 45, shot and killed Thomas Humphries, 55, in Des Moines then disposed of his body on the lawn of a vacant home in Auburn.
Prosecutors have also charged Glae Matthew Roland, 34, Des Moines, with rendering first-degree criminal assistance for allegedly helping Moore to dispose of Humphries bullet-riddled body and conceal evidence.
Ian Goodhew, a spokesman for the King County Prosecutors Office, said the cases are joined under the same cause number "so unless the defendants' attorneys move for severance, they will be tried together."
Both men have pleaded not guilty and are in King County Jail.
A check of records revealed that Humphries has never been arrested for or charged with any sex crimes in Washington State and was never listed on King County's sex offender registry.
Here is a summation of Auburn Police Detective Buie Arneson's account of events, which forms the basis of the state's case against Moore and Roland.
On Jan. 14, a man who had been hired to mow the grass at the vacant property at 11112 SE 304th St. found a dead man in the grass and called police.
The King County Medical Examiner used the man's fingerprints the following day to identify him as Humphries. According to the autopsy report, Humphries sustained four gunshot wounds to his body, one severing his aorta and killing him.
Auburn police got a break when they learned that the King County Sheriff's Office had been talking to a witness, Glae Roland, who told them he had been in the vehicle when Humphries was shot. Roland also described the weapon as a .22-caliber handgun, which matched the bullets the medical examiner had removed from Humphries' body.
Roland told Auburn detectives that he and Moore were friends, and that Moore had been a friend of the dead man.
Roland said that on Jan. 10, Moore called him and said that he had been with Humphries at the Des Moines Goodwill store and that he, Moore, had a loaded firearm. Roland said Moore offered to drive Roland to work in Kent, and Roland took him up on the offer.
Roland met the two men in the parking lot of the Goodwill store and the three got into the vehicle and began driving toward Kent. En route, Roland told detectives, Moore accused Humphries of being a child molester, pulled out a .22-caliber handgun and pointed it at Humphries. When they stopped in a Kent parking lot, Roland told detectives, he heard a shot and saw Humphries curl up into a fetal position. He said he did not see the shot.
As they drove on, Roland told detectives, Moore allegedly ordered him to check on Humphries to determine if he was still breathing. Roland said he was. As Moore turned east onto South 277th Street from 83rd Avenue, Roland told detectives, Moore allegedly fired four more shots at Humphries. Roland told detectives that Moore then began talking about what they were going to do with the body.
Ultimately, the two men found an abandoned house in Auburn. Roland told detectives that Moore ordered him to get Humphries out of the truck. Roland said he pulled him out and onto the ground. He put his hands under the dead man's armpits and began pulling him toward the abandoned home. At Moore's orders, Roland said, he searched Humphries' pockets where he found an ID belonging to somebody else, $5, and some business cards. Roland said he then dragged the body partway toward the home, where he left it.
Roland told detectives that as he and Moore drove away, he, Roland, began throwing the dead man's property out the window. As they were driving north SR 167, Moore warned Roland that if he "ratted" on him, he would kill him and his family.
Roland told detectives that he and Moore later returned to the abandoned house to properly dispose of Humphries' body. When they got there they discovered an orange outline where the body had been. At that point they knew that police had found the body and processed the scene.
According to Arneson's account, Roland told detectives that he and Moore tried to change the appearance of the pickup by painting it white. Roland also showed police where Moore was living in Des Moines.
On Jan. 16, police executed a search warrant on Moore's home and truck and arrested him after finding evidence that tied him to the murder, including shattered safety glass in the pickup truck and spent and damaged .22 cliber bullets consistent with the bullets the medical examiner had recovered from Humphries' body. Moore denied the murder. When detectives tried to pursue details beyond Moore's narrative, Arneson wrote, he became upset.

Chateau Larouque St. Emilion , Bordeaux wine producer profile, with wine tasting notes , wine ratings , a history of the property, information on wine making and terroir, along with wine tasting reviews . If you want to read about other important, Bordeaux Chateaux: Links to all Bordeaux Wine Producer Profiles
Chateau Laroque has a very long track record and history in the St. Emilion appellation. Chateau Laroque dates back to the 12th century. In fact, a small remnant remains of the original tower built in the 12th century. The estate as we know it today with its magnificent, chateau was constructed in the 17th century by Marquis de Rochefort-Lavie. The property remained in the hands of the same family until the depression struck in 1929. Like many families and companies at the time, the owners did not have the funds to maintain the estate and the vineyards. Wine ceased to be produced at the estate for several years. The modern era for Chateau Laroque starts in 1935, when the chateau was purchased by the Beaumartin family from the descendants of the Marquis de Rochefort-Lavie. In 1962, the vineyards of Chateau Laroque were completely replanted and the wine making facilities were updated as well. The situation remained about the same for close to 50 years, The chateau was in need of repairs, the cellars demanded updating and the vineyards required extensive replanting. Positive changes began taking place starting with the 2015 vintage as you will see. Today, Chateau Laroque is probably better known for the architecturally stunning, chateau and its perfectly manicured gardens. It truly is one of the most beautiful structures in the Right Bank .
With 61 hectares of vines, situated northeast of the St. Emilion village in the commune of St. Christophe des Bardes, Chateau Laroque owns the largest vineyard in St. Emilion. However, only 40 hectares of vines are classified as Grand Cru Classe. The remaining vines are considered to be St. Emilion Grand Cru. Out of that 40 hectare parcel, only 27 hectares of vines are used to produce their top wine, Chateau Laroque. The massive vineyard is planted to 87% Merlot , 11% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon . The vines are on average 40 years of age. However, they have old vines. 14 hectares of vines are almost 55 years old. The vineyard of Chateau Laroque is planted to a vine density of 6,000 vines per hectare. The terroir is clay with limestone soil.
To produce the wine of Chateau Laroque, the wine is fermented in traditional, temperature controlled, cobalt blue, cement vats that vary in size to help with parcel by parcel vinification. The wine is aged in 50% new, French oak barrels for 12 months before bottling. About 11,000 cases of Chateau Laroque are produced in an average vintage.
On average, the entire production of Chateau Laroque is slightly more than 25,000 cases of wine per vintage. There is also a second wine , Les Tours de Laroque which can consist of more than 8,000 cases of wine per vintage, depending on the year. Chateau Laroque also makes a third wine, Chateau Peymouton which produces close to 5,000 cases per year from their non classified vines.
Chateau Laroque remains relatively unknown as the wines have not sold been en primeur by negociants . The wines were often released a few years after the vintage had been in bottle. Most of the production is sold in France. But that is slated to change. Chateau Laroque announced they were ready to start producing quality wine starting with the 2015 vintage. Earlier that year, they hired David Surie as the director of the estate. David Surie is experienced and well-known in Bordeaux, especially in St. Emilion for his work with the team of Nicolas Thienpont and Stephane Derenoncourt .

2015 Château Laroque St. Émilion Grand Cru
Medium/full bodied, with a luscious texture that sets off the floral, licorice, cocoa and dark cherry personality, this wine is easy to like and drink, ending with rich textures and loads of sweet, fresh black cherries, fennel and cocoa. With David Surie as the new director, it is easy to see the improvements in just his debut vintage. And you know, the best is yet come!

Finally decided this book isn't for me... I'm sorry, as I think the writing is beautiful. And the idea also. It's just moving too slow for my tastes...
One of the best books I've read in a while. Creative, well written, and no unnecessary filler.
4.5 Stars...
Do you know the saying... "escape reality with a good book"? Well this one quickly provided that escape for me. Every time I opened the book I was pulled into a dark, magical world with lots of mysterious elements. At times I had no idea what was going on, but that's what pulled me deeper into the pages. I felt the words consume me and the illusions felt within my grasp. It was a twisted tale, but in some weird way it was also beautiful.
The main story was about Marco & Celia. They were chosen to compete using their talents. Neither came face to face for a while so they threw punches in the dark. They played off one another and built these magical tents that brought people joy and hope. In a subtle way their challenge drew them near and created an electric connection. When they were finally brought together in the flesh their passion was instant and in full force. They felt what was forbidden... love. Their coaches warned them and they quickly realized why. The challenge had an awful twist that left a future together out of the question.
When I look for books, I look for unique plots that will capture my attention and leave me craving more at the end. This one did just that. I was engrossed in the story and felt a deep rooted connection to the characters. There were multiple stories within this one and even though the Author gave them closure, I still wanted more. The writing was great and the flow was even better. I look forward to reading more by this Author and I highly recommend this one to all who like to "escape reality with a book".
I loved the incredible creativity of this book. Every page just seeped with imagination. The ending left me slightly unsatisfied, though. After so much elaboration and detail, the survival of the circus is glossed over. Still, it was a very enjoyable read and the story will certainly stay with me.
Reading this book is like watching a movie with gorgeous special effects and no plot, dialogue, or characters. Morgenstern has a vivid imagination for pretty circus images, but she lacks the chops to describe them in an interesting way or to make me care about anyone involved. I defy you to come up with a recognizable difference between Isobel and Celia for instance, or to tell me anything about what motivates Marco -- or anyone else for that matter. The characters are lifeless, only animated by the fact that they've been placed in an interesting setting. The major plot points are tossed in randomly, without ever being set up, and feel mostly contrived. The writing is wooden and overdone, piled high with useless adjectives and adverbs that only draw attention to how hard the writer is trying to make things feel enchanting and how little she is up to the task. When a writer describes something as "a vibrant scarlet red" rather than trusting the reader to know that scarlet is, by definition, both vibrant and red, all you can do is groan. I began cringing ever time the lifeless adverbs plodded across the page: elaborately, immaculately, ornately, bla bla bla. All in all, this book mostly annoyed me with all the different ways it failed to measure up to its compelling premise.
Magic without passion is pretty much a trip to Pier One: lots of shrink-wrapped candles. One wishes Morgenstern had spent less time on the special effects and more on the hauntingly unanswerable question that runs, more or less ignored, through these pages: Can children love who were never loved, only used as intellectual machines? What kind of magic reverses that spell? It's not as pretty a spectacle, but that's a story that grips the heart.
I am a reader who should have hated this novel; yet I found it enchanting, and affecting, too, in spite of its sentimental ending. Morgenstern's patient, lucid construction of her circus – of its creators and performers and followers – makes for a world of illusion more real than that of many a realist fiction. There is a matter-of-factness about the magicians' magic, a consistency about the parameters of the circus world, that succeeds both in itself and as a comment upon the need for and nature of illusion in general. While the novel's occasional philosophical gestures seem glib ("You are no longer quite certain which side of the fence is the dream"), the book enacts its worldview more satisfyingly than could any summary or statement. Rather than forcing its readers to be prisoners in someone else's imagination, Morgenstern's imaginary circus invites readers to join in an exploration of the possible.
Underneath the icy polish of her prose, Morgenstern well understands what makes The Night Circus tick: that Marco and Celia, whether in competition or in love, are part of a wider world they must engage with but also transcend. It's a world whose mystique and enigma is hard to shake off, and that invites multiple visits.
The Night Circus is one of those books. One of those rare, wonderful, transcendent books that, upon finishing, you want to immediately start again.
The book itself looks beautiful but creaky plotting and lifeless characters leave The Night Circus less than enchanting

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0307744434, Paperback)Amazon Best Books of the Month, September 2011: Erin Morgenstern's dark, enchanting debut takes us to the black and white tents of Le Cirque des Reves, a circus that arrives without warning, simply appearing when yesterday it was not there. Young Celia and Marco have been cast into a rivalry at The Night Circus, one arranged long ago by powers they do not fully understand. Over time, their lives become more intricately enmeshed in a dance of love, joy, deceit, heartbreak, and magic. Author Morgenstern knows her world inside and out, and she guides the reader with a confident hand. The setting and tone are never less than mesmerizing. The characters are well-realized and memorable. But it is the Night Circus itself that might be the most memorable of all. --Chris Schluep
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:23:51 -0400)
Waging a fierce competition for which they have trained since childhood, circus magicians Celia and Marco unexpectedly fall in love with each other and share a fantastical romance that manifests in fateful ways.

Carinas Musici Music School was established in 1996, and the Carinas Musici Orchestra during 2006. This first orchestra were merely more than a huge mixed ensemble, but Carina had the ability to arrange a variety of works for them. They took part at the West Boland Eisteddfod; were awarded gold, and won the Ensembles trophy.
During 2007 the Ensemble grew bigger and besides the West Boland Eisteddfod, they also took part at the ALMSA (Academy for Contemporary Music of South Africa) Festival in Cape Town where they received 2 gold awards and a trophy. They also performed at the annual Carinas Musici Prize-Giving and by 2008, more students took interest in taking part in the orchestra.
Various Workshops were held to improve the orchestral, ensemble and instrumental skills of the orchestra players.
By 2009 the orchestra were ready to expand and took part at the Paarl Valley and West Boland Eisteddfods; achieving several gold awards. By the end of that year Carinas Musici Music School recorded a 13 track CD at Arkstudio, Langebaan, featuring the Carinas Musici Orchestra and various other Ensembles.
Due to the success of this small country side music school and orchestra, the time were right to change the name of the music school to a more national and international recognisable branding name. Carinas Musici officially changed and was registered as The West Coast Music Academy.
Up to this stage, Carina arranged the entire repertoire herself, and to make use of the best possible combinations of instruments available. Due to the growth of the Music Academy, her responsibilities became more time consuming, and she had to look for someone to assist her in this. From 2010, Lara Block joined the WCMA Staff, and took over the arranging task to keep up with the pace and standards of arranging for all the different combinations.
The surrounded towns and especially Cape Town became aware of this growing Music Academy, and by 2011, the West Coast Music Academy Orchestra were invited to perform at the Hugo Lambrechts Orchestra Festival in September 2011, for the first time.
The Orchestra had a very exciting and successful Practice Camp at Wellington in March 2011; won the Primary- and High School Categories at the West Boland Eisteddfod, and had various successful performances.
The WCMA Orchestra had a very successful 2012. Highlights and achievements included:
- Trophy Winners at Artscape School Arts Festival: selected as overall winner of all Music and Orchestra items. Also invited to play at Gala Event where award was received.
- Share a Note Concert with Cape Town Opera: The Orchestra performs with the Cape Town Opera Vocal Ensemble (24) and a Mass Choir with more than 200 children from surrounding schools. The Choir and Orchestra, conducted by Marvin Kernelle (CTO) and Carina Brown (WCMA) gave 2 successful performances and this was by far the most successful Outreach Program of the CTO.
- Achieved 3 Cum Laudes and 2 Gold at the Wes-Boland Eisteddfod and was also awarded the High School and Primary School Trophies.
- Successful performance at the Hugo Lambrechts Ensemble Festival in September at the same event as the Cape Philharmonic Youth Orchestra.
- Langebaan Country Estate: Congress of Curro Principals: successful performance
- Workshops and Masterclasses: The Orchestra were privileged to be tutored by members of the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra, twice in the second term. The Percussion section especially has benefited from this tremendously and some were selected to receive further training by these professionals.
In 2013, the West Coast Music Academy Orchestra, conducted by Carina Brown, consisted of 70 players and consisted of a Strings section (Violins, Violas, Cellos, Double Bass); Woodwinds (Piccolo, Flutes, Clarinet, Saxophone); and Percussion (a large variety of percussion instruments from the Bass drum to Glockenspiel).
The Orchestra performed a variety of genres and highlights including Viva La Vida (Coldplay) performed in 2012, and Mamma Mia (ABBA). All repertoire were arranged by the WCMA Staff to suit the standards of students and instrument combinations of the Orchestra. Repertoire of 2013 included Classical hits as well as modern pieces such as Teddy Bears' Picnic (Bratton); March of the Toreadors (Bizet); Toy Symphony (Mozart); Dance of the Little Swans (Tchaikovsky); Glockenspiel Show-pieces: Rumba, Tango, Flamenco; Calypso Carnical; The Lion Sleeps Tonight; and Swinging Safari.
The Orchestra started the first term of 2013 with an annual Practice Camp at Club Elani (Misverstand Dam) at Moorreesburg from 10-12 April, where they have practiced for 18 hours. Weekly Orchestra practices were Fridays for 2.5 hours, during school terms.
This was once again an outstanding year for the Orchestra, achieving 89% (A+) at the Stellenbosch Eisteddfod Orchestra Festival in May, and 3 Cum Laudes and 1 Gold at the Wes-Boland Eisteddfod in August.
On 20 July, the Orchestra performed at the West Coast Mall and also did a flash mob, as preparation for the very successful South Cape Tour which they undertook from 8-11 August.
On the tour, performances were held at the Garden Route Mall (George); Denneoord Dutch Reformed Church (George) collaborating with the South Cape Children's Choir (conducted by Jan-Erik Swart); and the Dias Museum (Mossel Bay), collaborating with the South Cape Children's Choir again as well as the highly acclaimed Cape Town Youth Choir (formerly known as Pro Cantu, conducted by Leon Starker). Orchestra members enjoyed the Tour immensely and the performances exceeded all expectations, with the Orchestra receiving standing ovations. Click here to view Tour photos.
The Orchestra once again had the privilege to be part of Cape Town Opera's Outreach project in 2013. Together with their Voice of the Nation Opera Ensemble; various soloists; and school choirs of less fortunate schools, concerts were held on Friday 16 August at Diazville Primary School, Saldanha (featuring choirs of High and Primary School Diazville) and on Sunday 18 August at Masiphathisane Primary School, Vredenburg (featuring primary school choirs of Masiphathisane, Panorama, Eden, Laingville, Weston). Cape Town Opera gave choir training on Saturdays for choir members of participating schools over a period of 6 months prior to the concerts. We deeply appreciate Cape Town Opera for reaching out to our community and letting the Orchestra be part of it. We also thank the Western Cape Provincial Government for funding this project. Click here to view Concert photos.
On Sunday 15 September, the Orchestra was invited to play at the Hugo Lambrechts String Orchestra Festival, where school orchestras are given a platform to perform. They entertained the audience with Teddy Bear's Picnic and the Glockenspiel Concerto, with the Glockenspiel part played by Grade 12 Music Subject student, Marlon van Rooyen. Once again an excellent performance by the WCMA! Click here to view photos.
WCMA Orchestra made a DVD in November, which included the Tour- and CTO Repertoire. Although not Studio quality, it will be a souvenir for all the players and parents.
The WCMA Orchestra became more in demand, and was invited to play at a Christmas Service in Wellington on 1st December. The songwriter and composer Neil Buchner requested that the orchestra accompany him with one of his Christmas songs, Karoo Kerslied during the Service. The orchestra also accompanied the congregation and played various Christmas hymns and repertoire.
Due to the success of the performance in the West Coast Mall in Vredenburg, earlier this year, they invited us for another performance on 14 December 2013.
In 2014, the West Coast Youth Orchestra officially started to function under their new name. The NPC was officially registered in August 2013 and a new logo and website were designed. The WCYO consisted of the Junior Strings-, Senior Strings-, Wind-; Percussion-, and Symphony Orchestras with rehearsals for each orchestra held on Friday afternoons.
In March, the Symphony Orchestra performed at the Curro Directors Congress held at Langebaan Country Estate and the West Coast Mall's Birthday Celebration. The annual Orchestra Camp took place on 11 - 13 April at Club Elani (Misverstand Dam), which included a tight rehearse schedule with a braai, swimming and lots of fun woven into the schedule.
On 11 May, WCYO performed at a Mother's Day Concert with Phax Trio, featuring Andrea Fisher-Jeffes (Euphonium), Levi Alexander (Tenor Sax) and Liam Burden (Alto Sax). All the WCYO Orchestras performed and it was truly a memorable day!
The following weekend, the WCYO Symphony Orchestra achieved Cum Laude at the Stellenbosch Eisteddfod Orchestra Festival on Saturday 17 May. The Orchestra played In the Hall of the Mountain King and Radetzky March. Besides their performance, the adjudicators were very impressed with the discipline, behaviour and dress code of the orchestra. WCYO also won the Alet de Vos Trophy for Best Youth Orchestra. Excellent indeed!
The Symphony Orchestra did many collaboration concerts in 2014. On 26 June they performed in Hopefield with local singer and songwriter, Jo Folscher. It was an ecstatic, unforgettable evening with people attending from far! On 2 August they had a spectacular concert with singer Tobi Jooste. The orchestra complimented Tobi's rich baritone voice with a variety of songs - a perfect match. WCYO performed Classical & Jazz Repertoire such as Quando, Quando, Quando and Starry Starry Night, and the audience was surprised by the Longacres Private School and Vredenburg High School Choirs with Orchestral accompaniment. A very successful evening!
On Friday 12 September, the WCYO performed with guest artist, Steve Hofmeyr, at the Curro Langebaan School Hall. With a packed hall, and the orchestra accompanying Steve's hits such as I am I said, Sweet Caroline, Pampoen and Liefling, it guaranteed a night that will never be forgotten.
All WCYO Orchestras also participated at the West Boland Eisteddfod in August, and achieved the following: Junior Strings (Silver); Senior Strings (Gold); Wind Orchestra (Gold); Percussion Orchestra (Gold); Symphony Orchestra (3 Cum Laude, 1 Gold).

"A Computer With a Lens"
RED's new DSMC (Digital Stills and Motion Camera) System is "completely modular and upgradeable in every way."
sample videos for Nikon D90 and Canon 5D MkII
Exciting things are happening on the DSLR market: both the new Nikon D90 and Canon 5D MII can shoot video and now the first real footage is becoming available on the web: Chase Jarvis showcased the D90 a bit back and now Vincent Laforet demonstrates what the 5D MII is capable of (more on his blog, including behind-the-scenes footage) Laforet predicts these cameras will change the landscape rather rapidly: You can use your prime and zoom lenses (...) with it - and shoot wide open… so you can shoot films with fisheye lenses, 50mm 1.2 as well as the 200mm f2 or 400mm 2.8 that you may already own… [more inside]
"A big warm kiss, like a shot from a revolver, and like the psychoanalyst's couch."
Though their cameras have produced some of the defining photographs of the twentieth century, Leica have struggled in the new digital age. However there are still some aficionados for the Leica's 'kiss'.
(Internetworking Frequency, 2.4 gigacycles.)
The Early Television Foundation and Museum Website covers the nascent days of the nation's pastime, with interesting items like mechanical TVs and programming schedules from 1939.
Low-tech high-dive
At the Beijing Olympics this summer there is a camera that follows divers through the air until they hit the water's surface in glorious high-definition. The DiveCam was originally invented by Garrett Brown, the inventor of the Steadicam, and was first used in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. What new technology made this innovation possible? The power of gravity and pulleys.
Fine Art Travel Photography
Andre Gunther Photography ― The galleries of photographs are certainly beautiful, but this site shines also for its technique tutorials and camera reviews.
Record player + video camera = Phonographantasmascope, animator Jim LeFevre's extension of the zoetrope. "It is all live action and works by using the shutter speed of the camera rather than the rather irritating stroboscope methods other 3D Zoetropes use."

"Cities in Japan have a distinct blue-green cast."
Cities at Night, an Orbital Tour Around the World was made when astronauts added stabilizers to the cameras on the orbital space station, allowing them to get sharp, crisp nighttime images.
Film-maker John Downer fitted four elephants with cameras and set them loose. Many of the resulting photos are cute, and some seem made for photoshopping.
Stranger Photos Have Happened
"Good afternoon, I attached this camera to the bench so you could take pictures. Seriously. So have fun. I'll be back later this evening to pick it up. Love, Jay / The Plug". Stranger Photos Have Happened.
Things you never thought you could do with your camera
One of the most amazing user-led projects out there, CHDK firmware turns cheap Canon cameras into photography powerhouses. You can take take time-lapse movies as in this stunning sunset example; automatically photograph lightening; easily make pretty HDR images and stereograms; have unlimited depth-of-field; and, perhaps most impressively, take photographs with shutter speeds of 1/60,000 of a second!
All the better to see you with
As a photographer, you need to get close to your subject. But sometimes things get between you and your subject. Things such as state lines, restraining orders, and guard patrols that can keep you miles away from the people you want to shoot. What do you do at times like this? Get a bigger lens. [more inside]

We Have Cameras.
Erika Gunderson got into a taxicab in New York City this past New Year's Eve and found a digital camera on the back seat. The cab driver had no information or interest in which previous passenger might be the rightful owner. Bringing the camera home, Gunderson's fiancé, Brian Ascher, took on the task of trying to find the owner. Using clues from 350 photos and two videos stored on the camera he was able to track down the owner, Irishman Alan Murphy in Sydney, Australia and return the camera to him. [more inside]

Child Labor Travesty or Pap Smear? You Decide!
While other children their age spend their days in school, forming friendships and worrying over their grades, these two young ragamuffins spend long nights camped out in front of hot night spots they won't be able to legally enter themselves for at least half a decade.

Behold, the zoomable panorma
Science Daily reports that researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, in collaboration with scientists at NASA's Ames Research Center, have built a low-cost robotic device that enables any digital camera to produce breathtaking panormamic images called Gigapans.
The Secret Police and the 35mm Camera
In 1934, the FE Dzerzhinsky labor commune in Kharkiv began manufacturing a rangefinder camera that copied the German Leica. Though production has long ceased, FED rangefinders are still widely used and collected today. But the FED and its manufacturer have a tarnished history - some of which is due to a work force comprised of children and criminals, and some owed to its namesake: Felix Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky, the founder of the Soviet secret police (NSFW).

The future of slow motion porn has arrived
The mother of all Mother Nature programs premiered in the US this weekend on the Discovery Channel. The 11-part series makes the most of three remarkable camera technologies: shooting in total darkness, counter-vibration stabilizers, and 1000 fps sequences. Here are some clips of: penguins sliding, baboons swimming, and birds of paradise mating. Finally, here's footage from the original BBC version (with the much preferred David Attenborough narrating) that shows, for the first time,a snow leopard hunting in the wild.

When good samaritans go bad, and find lost property they'd rather keep, they make up excuses like "but now he's been using it for a week and he really loves it and we can't bear to take it from him" and "we had to spend a lot of money to get a charger and a memory card".

On Anna Kournikova's website, under "Ask Anna," she answers a question about planning outfits: "I don't spend a really long time picking out outfits. I just grab what fits and is comfortable."
I wonder if Enrique Inglesias uses the same tactic for selecting the various ladies he makes out with during his concerts. How can Anna's man go onstage, bring up chicks, and make out with them in front of thousands of people? Is it not enough that Anna K. has to deal with being a fashion icon and part-time tennis hottie to please her own fan base?
The power couple has to either laugh or fight about the makeout sessions Enrique includes in his shows. Can E! give these lovebirds a reality show so we can get to the bottom of this already?! We want to laugh along with you, Anna K., but Enrique's sporting some "accessories" that are bringing down your brand.

The Oregon State Beavers fell to 6-4 on the season after dropping their third straight contest, 30-17 to the Arizona State Sun Devils Saturday night.
After the game, Oregon State quarterback Sean Mannion talked about missed plays and the Beavers' offense coming on "too little, too late" in the loss to the Sun Devils.
"I'm disappointed in the way I played," said Mannion, who threw for 320 yards and a pair of touchdowns, as well as four interceptions. "I take a lot of responsibility in this loss. I expect a lot more from myself."
