First, they asked me for a symphony. I told them I was not made for symphonies. Then they asked me for an organ concerto. I told them I had already written one and I didn't want to write another. Finally they said: 'All right, then do what you like!'
But in a letter to the Boston Symphony Orchestra's principal conductor—and Koussevitzky's successor—Charles Münch, Poulenc was still unsure in May 1959 whether he could indeed do what he liked: 'I have suggested writing a Gloria for mixed choir, soprano solo and orchestra, 20 to 25 minutes in duration. You may perhaps be able to sway the balance in my favour if there is any hesitation.'
An image we might have of Poulenc being the urbane dilettante wrongly hides the fact that he was a meticulous craftsman, and often deeply insecure. As someone who took four years to fashion the Organ Concerto to his satisfaction, and who suffered a nervous breakdown during the writing of his opera Dialogues des Carmélites, composition of the Gloria in the second half of 1959 was a struggle too. In August of that year, he described it in a letter to Pierre Bernac as 'a problem work … I am working and reworking each bar in every conceivable way'. And at the end of December that year, he wrote to Geneviève Sienkiewicz: 'When I played you those few bits from it, your reaction encouraged me a great deal. I badly needed this as no other work has posed so many problems for me.'
As Poulenc's charming, witty letters to Bernac from Boston's Sheraton Plaza Hotel in January 1961 demonstrate, the rehearsal process for the premiere was initially a shaky affair too:
… as for the Gloria, if I had not come here, what peculiar music would have been heard! Dear, adorable, exquisite Charlie [Münch] had understood precisely nothing … Arriving late for the first rehearsal of the choir, I heard something so unlike me that my legs almost failed me on the staircase … all those worthy Protestants were singing sharp and shrill (especially the women) as they do in London, with that 'Oh! My good Lord' quality. All Münch's tempi were wrong—all too fast naturally … I tell you, I wanted to run a mile.
Things had changed, though, by the final rehearsal two days later:
The rehearsal yesterday was extraordinary. Münch suddenly inspired: as for [soprano soloist Adele] Addison, she drives you wild, she is sheer heaven, with that warm Negro purity … Everyone was full of enthusiasm … The Gloria is without doubt the best thing I have done. The orchestration is marvellous (the ending, among other things, is astonishing) … It has given me a confidence that I badly needed.
Poulenc's devout faith, he said, resembled that of a simple country priest, and the Gloria is fresh and straightforward throughout. Just as his Organ Concerto, to which he assigned quasi-religious status, has moments of fairground thrill alongside its gothic churchiness, the Gloria is never overly reverent. 'When I wrote this piece', Poulenc famously recalled, 'I had in mind those frescoes by Gozzoli where the angels stick out their tongues; and also some serious Benedictine monks I had once seen revelling in a game of football.'
Talking to an American journalist around the time of the premiere, Poulenc also described the Gloria as having 'very clear, primary colours—rude and violent like the Provence chapel of Matisse'. So trumpets and horns are resplendent in the heavily accented baroque-like fanfares of the opening or the organ-like explosions of the final section, and he creates distinctive alloys of woodwinds that recall Stravinsky's Symphonies of Wind Instruments. Even his writing for strings, which he relished least of all, shines briefly at the central point of unearthly stillness in the Laudamus te. For someone so unconfident of his orchestral knack, he could indeed be justifiably proud.
Stravinsky is present elsewhere—the 'wrong-note' parallel ninths in the Laudamus te, the trip-ups of ever-present metre changes. But High Fidelity magazine's reviewer of the work's debut recording in August 1961 heard other composers in the mix: 'The Gloria sounds like a mixture of Saint-Saëns and Carl Orff …', he wrote. And any question of whether this comparison was meant warmly was answered by the rest of the sentence, a deft and supercilious piece of damnation with faint praise: '… although its lovely, quiet ending recalls the fact that Poulenc was once capable of writing beautiful music.'
Ouch! But Poulenc described himself as 'wildly eclectic'—presumably proudly so. And the influence of grand opera—or Verdi's Requiem—casts a dramatic shadow in moments such as the forte declamations of Domine Deus. Poulenc was, after all, someone who acknowledged in his dedication of Dialogues des Carmélites the debt of Verdi, Debussy, Mussorgsky and Monteverdi; whose letters describe with relish the Met's Trovatore with Leontyne Price and Franco Corelli alongside the 'unsurpassable trio' of Tebaldi, Gobbi and di Stefano in a Tosca at La Scala; and the soloist in both the European premiere of the Gloria and the debut recording was Rosanna Carteri, a dramatic soprano whose calling-card role Desdemona had featured in a recent 1958 film version of Otello alongside Mario del Monaco.
So the Gloria manages to be both operatic and pious, frivolous and contrite, lyrical and spiky. Although spiced with perfectly calculated stabs of dissonance, it is gloriously backward-looking and conservative for a work written when Boulez and Stockhausen were already making their mark. It is less ambitious and profound than its close contemporary, the War Requiem of Benjamin Britten, his 'dear brother across the Channel'. But with its moments of sumptuous, enveloping ecstasy and uncomplicated good humour, its appeal endures.
Poulenc's final choral work, less successful, was the Sept répons des ténèbres. 'With the Gloria and the Stabat mater' Poulenc commented shortly before his death, 'I think I have three good religious works. May they spare me a few days of purgatory, if I do narrowly avoid going to hell.'

Our collection of vintage art prints pays homage to the past with iconic film posters and adverts. Much like our art deco section this collection also relives the early excitement of travel, with designs so wonderful they manage to give locations like Clacton-on-sea a touch of glamour! The range of prints here means there is a strong chance you'll be able to find your favourite location from the UK, or further afield. These vintage images provide a great way to jazz up any interior.
Sign up for the Easyart newsletter to take advantage of this exclusive offer and receive updates on the latest artists and collections.
Gives the frame its character and provides the perfect setting for an artwork to be fully enjoyed.
Protects the artwork from dust and wilting so that it can be admired for many years.
Adds depth to an image and works with the moulding to enhance and protect the artwork.
Bonds to the artwork ensuring it is perfectly smooth and holds the whole frame together.
We partner with the world's top museums and galleries to bring you exclusive prints of the highest quality. Our teams of designers ensure the colours are accurate, papers are well suited and the best frames are suggested.
In the printing room, artworks are printed on state-of-the-art machines with a team of technicians checking colour and quality every step of the way.
After being cut down to size, our team carefully finish any stray edges, check measurements and prepare the prints for mounting and framing.
We have a team of master framers who work with high-quality, responsibly-sourced wood to create our vast range of framing combinations - each frame is bespoke and made to order for every print.
Our selection of hand-finished frames are painted or stained by hand in a variety of colours, and finished with a layer of wax - the end result is a uniquely crafted, beautiful frame that is made to last.
In this workshop everything comes together - the print, the frame and the glass - in a seamless and stream-lined process.
The artwork is carefully mounted in preparation for framing.
Once mounted, the print is ready to be covered by glass or perspex - a delicate procedure but expertly done with not a fingerprint in sight.
After a final, thorough check, the framed print is ready to be carefully packaged up and shipped to the customer.
For those who order their art as canvas prints, the same amount of attention and care goes into the process. Here, the print is being transferred to a wooden frame.
As with the framed prints, our canvases are all hand-finished in the workshop - a labour of love from start to finish.

The Beauty Tips We Learnt From Teen Dramas From Mischa Barton to Katie Holmes
GALLERY >> What We Learned From Teen Dramas
Ooooo Mischa Barton's got her Marissa Cooper glow again! She was spotted at the Blue Label Dinner this week with the golden waves and sheeny tan of her OC years. Grazia HQ cannot believe how many salt sprays and bronzers we used to buy to try and get her California-beach style. Oh how we dreamed of being a girl who could work the 'I've just come from the beach, thrown on this million pound dress and sat down for dinner' look as perfectly as her.
Click through our gallery to see the beauty tips we learned from teen dramas.
Mischa Barton in The OC
Mischa's character Marissa taught us that if you have a golden glow, you will be perceived as a golden girl. Get a few highlights and a tan and everyone will think you're perfect, even if you're downing vodka in the pool house.
Mila Kunis in That 70's Show
Mila's character Jackie taught us that big hair is appropriate for every situation. Whether you're camping, playing basketball or flirting with Ashton Kutcher, make sure you've set your hair first.
Leighton Meester in Gossip Girl
During her years as Blair, Leighton has taught us that every outfit can be made better with a hairband. Especially a designer one.
Rachel Bilson in The OC
Remember when Anna told Summer to always floss between meals? The advice still stands.
Hilarie Burton in One Tree Hill
Hilarie's character Peyton taught us that you can never over-product curly hair. It looks good when it's a little crispy right?
Shenae Grimes in 90210
When Shenae's character Annie moves to Beverley Hills, she wears jeans and natural makeup. NO. NO. NO. She taught us that if you're new to a school and you want to be popular you're going to need a makeover.
Kristen Bell in Veronica Mars
We learned from Veronica that you can't solve a crime without a good layer of pink lipgloss.
Taylor Momsen in Gossip Girl
Taylor's character Little J taught us that the smokier the eye, the higher you sit on the Met steps. The same goes for increasing hair extension length.
Katie Holmes in Dawsons Creek
Tomboy Joey revealed that all you need to get a man is a slick of berry lipstick because grown-ups wear lipstick obvs.
Jessica Stroup in 90210
Jessica's character Erin taught us that we should never be afraid of a dramatic haircut. Chopping off your hair can equal instant popularity.
Sophia Bush in One Tree Hill
Sophia's character Brooke taught us that the darker your hair the darker your mood. Keep your hair dark if you're planning a wild child period.

Family rooms can sport many types of looks—formal, casual, fun, modern, or traditional. This southern California space tries on a bit of everything. It mainly serves as relaxation spot for both parents and kids to sit and watch TV. Dig deeper, though, and this family space is about more than flipping channels.
(Click here to view additional photos.)
The 8-inch wireless Crestron touchpanel allows the family access to a dozen audio and video sources, plus command of housewide systems such as lighting, HVAC, security and the pool and spa (see sidebar). "They didn't want to spend a ton of money—though there were certain [expensive] things that they really wanted, like Runco TVs and Kaleidescape—but they wanted a really good, high-value whole-house system with some nice perks," says systems designer Patrick Martinez of Los Angeles-based DSI Entertainment Systems.
The family room was part of a major home renovation, and DSI worked closely on the project with the architect, designer and cabinetmaker. That collaboration took much of the hassle out of the installation and wiring, especially given the amount of mahogany woodwork the homeowners requested throughout the room.
That meant providing precise measurements for the cabinet cavity containing the 65-inch plasma TV and for the shelf space for the front-channel loudspeakers. The lack of traditional wall space meant bookshelf speakers were concealed behind cabinet doors finished with metal mesh to allow sound flow. A pair of in-ceiling speakers in the room's fireplace area is used for background music listening.
To keep all eyes on the room's main attractions, almost all of the electronics equipment is housed in a separate, centralized room. That saved on real estate in the family room and made the larger, whole-home installation easier to wire. "They were happy about not having the equipment in there," says Martinez. "The room is pretty packed as it is, and they didn't want to have noisy equipment or have to worry about ventilation for it."
The only source component in the room is a Kaleidescape player stowed in a cabinet, which the family uses to play and add DVDs to the movie server. They can also tap into the centrally stored DVD player, VCR, CD player, Apple TV, iPod dock, satellite radio tuners and four DirecTV high-def DVRs (one each for Mom, Dad and daughter, and one shared by two sons).
Between the Kaleidescape server and the DVRs, anyone can start a movie or program in the family room, and then pause and finish watching it from that point in another room. Server selections have similarly been grouped into "Parents' movie library" and "Kids' movie library" for easy navigation from any touchscreen. DSI programmed the touchpanel so it only takes one or two steps to control virtually anything in the home, all from a cozy seat on the couch.
Pooling Resources
One big benefit to being able to access housewide controls from this family room? It opens via sliding glass doors to the outdoor pool and spa area. Those outdoor amenities are at the ready from any Crestron touchpanel as well.
Before heading out to the sweet four-way infinity-edge pool, a few button presses can turn on the pool and spa lights and temperature, and even get tunes going on the pool's underwater speakers, which are a part of the distributed audio system.
More importantly, the pool's SonarGuard security system can be armed or disarmed from a touchpanel, and DSI Entertainment Systems programmed the alerts into the A/V and automation. If the parents are in the family room while SonarGuard is armed and there's been a breach, a specific tone plays through the loudspeakers, the touchpanel delivers a voice alert, and a message shows up on the user interface.
"They can also have the SonarGuard system automatically arm after a certain amount of time, and they don't have to worry about digging around in the bushes to find a keypad for it," says DSI's Patrick Martinez.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

Let the violoncello apply himself, starting on the left bank of the Danube he is to play until everyone has crossed from the right bank of the Danube. What's more, I am confident of the route over the Danube I have already set; with courage one may gain any objective if righteous.
The C major Sonata, despite the development by this stage of a piano closer to the more sonorous instrument of today, again eschews a full slow movement, but Beethoven this time preludes each of the two movements with a slow introduction. Of these the Andante is the more substantial, opening, rather in the manner of Op 69, with the cello alone, followed by a complementary phrase on the piano, both extended gently and rhapsodically until interrupted by the fortissimo arrival of the first Allegro vivace, which is actually in A minor. The argument is far more concentrated than in the earlier sonatas – Beethoven had by now moved away from the expansiveness of his middle period. The second movement opens with a short improvisatory Adagio which, before making way for the main part of the movement, allows a brief recall of the first movement's Andante material. The finale proper is a terse sonata-form movement dominated by the short rising figure of the first few bars (perhaps derived from the theme of the Andante) and rapid semiquaver movement. But twice this movement is interrupted by pauses and still, open fifths on cello. At the end the tension winds down before the tempo is picked up again for the last couple of bars.

After yet another season of missing the playoffs, it's been no secret that Jerry Jones was probably going to make some big changes to the coaching staff, but the first axe has apparently fallen on the neck of defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, who seems to be taking it all in stride.
Rob Ryan confirms he's fired. "I'll be out of work for like 5 minutes," he said.— Tim MacMahon (@espn_macmahon) January 9, 2013
Now, would/could/should the the Jets dare hire another Ryan brother? Dennis Thurman is expected to replace outgoing DC Mike Pettine, but dare to dream, I say.

At the end of last year, Maison Martin Margiela was afforded official haute couture status by the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne and that's quite something given the size of the house. It's small but perfectly formed and yesterday's offering was a jewel of a collection. Raf Simons was in pride of place front row – that's an endorsement many a name would kill for just now; the house's retired name sake is this designer's fashion hero – and the MMM studio sent out clothes that were more celebratory and upbeat than they have been. That was lovely to see. The hallmark of this particular lline – and it was once the signature of Maison Martin Margiela across the board – is to seek out precious vintage finds and then fuse them with contemporary designs made in the atelier and, in the case of couture of course, entirely by hand.
It was beautifully done. The most delicate beaded flapper dress was entirely restored then joined with a trademark trench: absolute modernity and history met. A tunic was covered with black oil paint, stiffening the garment in question – the minimal end result belied the work that went into its creation. More paint strokes appeared – this time beaded again – on rectilinear 1920s-line clothing. A spokesperson for the house said that the decades referenced were the Twenties and Fifties, both post-war, then, and reflecting an optimism that was also very much in evidence here.
Masking models' faces is something that Margiela himself introduced way back when, the idea being that encourages the focus to be entirely concentrated on the clothes. And they were well worth it. Highly imaginative and intricate handiwork and colour that truly sang rubbed shoulders in this instance with the all new and that is something that the haute couture, steeped in tradition as it necessarily must be, is rarely known for. The classic 'tabi' boot with its split toe was, for spring/summer, platform-soled, a tribute, our spokesperson says, to David Bowie circa Ziggy Stardust.

Post subject: Tourney hydrans
I've recently been playing the
format with a regular opponent.
The games have been quite interesting and far better than 1 vs 1 duels. As expected, the usual 1 vs 1 tactics often do not always apply. Multi ships, fixed map and limited time make for an intersting situation. We haven't been sticking to 3 hours yet, but to what ever time we can fit in on an evening, which is between 3-4 hours. We've each been choosing what we want to play prior to the match, so we don't know what we will be facing.
The games played so far have been:
Kzinti vs Tholian - I was wanting to see how massed drones worked, and came up against the ultimate drone stopper!
Hydran (hellbores) vs LDR - My massed hellbores up against anti hellbore ESG and even more PhGs than I had!
Seltorian vs Fed - Can the the ultimate 'death by 1000 cuts' weapon get in 1000 cuts before the ultimate 'bang your dead' weapon fires!
Gorn vs Rom - classic plasma ballet
Hydran (Fusions/stingers) vs Orion - "How many stingers are still left", "This is hard, no this is really hard".
The last one is the one that has intrigued me, I was playing the hydrans (My preferred race), but up until this game I've not used fusions much, nor more than a couple of stingers. But like my opponent I am using our new regular games to try out stuff that I don't normally go for.
I had 2 mohawks with 8 stingers each and a Gendarme with 2 stingers (446 pts). Thats 24 Phgs and 46 Fusions (though only 28 fusions at once). Given that mass stingers are pretty brutal out to range 8, and still decent at 9-10, I had decided that my general tactic would be to charge at 24+ for 6 impulses and (unless the enemy had managed to keep the range really open) I would then drop stingers who would get 2 moves at 16 and be able to fire on 8 (after the 1 impulse wait), whilst the ships would do what ever seemed appropriate (probably carry on in). In the event that the enemy has managed to get past me at range, then retain the stingers until you can close the range, the fusion armed hydrans have the useful feature that they have nothing to arm or hold until firing, which means all power to moving is not a huge issue. It is not easy to keep range againt someone doing 24+ on a fixed map (even more so if you actually want to shoot back).
My oppont had a BC, DW, and 2 Double raiders. The +1 stealth really knackers stinger long range fire, but I decided to stick with the plan. The orions went speed 16 and conceded at the end of turn 1 with his BC and DW effectvely dead for the cost of a crippled Gendarme.
As we had just had our quickest ever game, my opponent was keen for a rematch so we played the same setup again. This time he had realised that I could close to hose on turn 1, and went 24+ as well whilst hoping to draw out the stingers and start picking them off whilst not getting to close. However, in order to do that he doubbled engines as he woud have struggled to go fast and shoot stingers, that of course meant losing the +1 stealth. The stingers lost 3 and a cripple on launch, and the Gendarme was gutted (3 boxes left!) but the stingers still got to range 8/9 where, along with the cruisers, they blasted the BC to its last few boxes. Impulse 1 of turn 2 saw the Orions pinned on the map edge, with the remaining 3 ships risking 2 HETs in 2 impulses to try and get out of the way, at the end of impulse 2 a DBR went pop, though I also lost a Mohawk. At that point the remainng DBR having failed the Emergency HET was a sitting duck and the DW had no way of avoiding 15 stingers closing to ranges 0-2 so the Orion conceded again.
We talked about this a bit, and I have to say it appears to be a truly brutal fleet (more so than I was thinking when I took it). I can think of a couple of opponents who might be tricky to close with straight away, but I'm not sure that even they can last long given the fixed map.
Does anyone else have any thoughts/opinions on what may be a good tourney fleet and tactics to handle a hydran with 18 odd stingers. Whilst bearing in mind that, in theory, it should be decent against any other squadron it comes up against.
NB: It did occur to me this morning that there may be an issue with the tourney setup rules as described. It has 1 side based around hex 0202 and the other at 2530. The one at 2530 has a large edge over the other, as he has some 17 hexes to move away from the other guy, where as the guy in the corner can not move away from an enemy that is coming at him. As it happens I had the 2530 position. I wonder whether the setup position should be shifted to something like 0902 and 3330 so the start position is a bit more neutral in terms of proximity to map edges.

Ps I would add that the Tholians are the obvious fly in the ointment for the hydrans, but then the Tholians tend to be like that for anyone.

I've been playing Tournament games an average of twice a week for a month now, and here's some of the things I've seen.
Things I've noticed:
1- When someone brings in a dreadnought, the other side's tactics for the first few turns tend to center around killing that DN. This makes sense: most DN's are just too nasty to leave wandering around, and if you're going to tackle them you need to do so with fresh ships.
2- The fixed board makes 'big crunch' direct-fire races very powerful, as 'slash and run' races have a lot less room to run.
3- Races I've been successful with: Feds, Hydran fusion, Hydran hellbore, Tholian, and Kzinti.
4- Races I've had problems with or have beaten more than once: Romulans and Seltorians.
Don't turn your head to the left, because I'll pass you on the right. Don't turn your head to the right, because I'll pass you on the left. And if you slow down, I'll run right over you.

Interesting, my opponent has taken a large ship and 2 smaller ships a couple of times, and lost as I've concentrated on the smaller ships. They are easy points and a quick reduction in enemy firepower, and whilst having a big nasty vessel hanging around is not good, the games have been ending before that really becomes an issue.
The Hydan vs LDR was a good example of that, at the point we finished (over 3 hours) I was not in a good position, the nasty LDR BCH was untouched and my ships were starting the arming cycle on the hellbores, but the points I scored for concentraing on the smaller ships gave me a points win. I would also add that I ignored the BCH as it had 4 ESG to counter hellbores whilst the other 2 ships had 1 and 2 respectively, that further exagerated the effect of the small ships being easy points compared to the big ship.
As much as possible I try to keep my ships about the same size, and I think my opponent has come to same conclusion for the time being. The tiny gendarme I had in the last game was simply due to not being able to come up with another mass stinger squadron. And it was the first target my opponent went for as it was the one that be taken out even at the longer turn 1 shooting opportunities.
Any thoughts on how to handle a fusion/mass stinger force?

Most of my experience is from the other end: running the Hydrans. That having been said...
The two central facts of a fusion/fighter squadron are that fusion ships can only do a reasonable amount of damage inside range 4 (and preferably at range 2 or less), and that Stings max out at Speed 16.
With that in mind, Hydran fusion/swarm tactics are basically going to boil down to cranking the speed up to 32, closing to point-blank range (hopefully tractoring the target), taking the enemy's best shot and letting the fighters do the heavy lifting. This is exactly how I won my last game with them (although I DID use about half the fighters' Ph-G's to degrade my Romulan enemy's plasma strike).
IMHO time: Beating those tactics means staying out of fusion range and especially means to deny the enemy any chance of tractoring you, even if it means trading weapons energy for maneuver energy. Drone races have it harder than plasma races, as Hydran ships have very good defensive suites (Ph-G's plus lots of tractors), but that speed-32 means that even seeking plasma will have a hard time generating a hit (might want to stick to bolts/carronades). Use whatever direct fire you can muster, directed-targeting on energy, in order to slow Mr. Hydran down; once he can no longer maintain high speed you can start bringing more of your weapons to bear. The real nightmare for fusion/fighter squadrons is going to be Orions, who can crank up the speed AND deliver damage.
I've not used Lyrans much or LDR ships at all, but in the races I've used DN-centric squadrons for (Feds, Hydrans, Romulans, Tholians ) the center of the battle has been the big ship. I'd much rather gun for the DN than try to whittle down its screen: if the enemy keeps good formation I can't engage the side ships without taking a pounding from the heavy, and if I'm going to get my squadron worked over like that I want to only have to face two (Fed example) war destroyers when it's over- instead of taking the same beating and then having to deal with the dread. Maybe the difference in your experience is dictated by ESG tactics.
Don't turn your head to the left, because I'll pass you on the right. Don't turn your head to the right, because I'll pass you on the left. And if you slow down, I'll run right over you.

I was initially relying on my opponent mistakingly thinking in those terms. Whether he did or didn't I don't know.
Whilst it may hold true for the ships, who with poor phaser suites and a 2 turn arming can't afford to take long range shots without a very good reason, it doesn't hold so true of the stingers. They can fire every turn with fusions (either 2-4 times depending on double charging) and every turn with the gatling.
Useful Maths for the 18 stingers I had, ignoring modifiers:
range 10 average damage = 45
range 8 average damage = 57
Also bear in mind that is 18 seperate volleys, so once you are firing on a down shield then you are scoring all your hits on the important first 3 columns of the DAC. Conversely of course, if the target has the power he could battery a good portion of it away (In 1 of our games the Orion BC went through about 20 power in order to save as much shield as possible).
At range 10 the FedDN (assuming centerline) averages about 9 damage without photons, or 25 with. A photon ship may not be the best comparison, but 3 D5Ws (18 ph1 and 12 disr) average 42 damage at range 10. To put it another way, even at range 10 the mass stingers average more damage than a full 450 pt ship squadron, and their damage distribution is far more effective once they are rolling on the DAC. That still leaves the 3 hydran vessels with another 10 fusions and phasers and gatlinsg possibly closing on you.
With that in mind, Hydran fusion/swarm tactics are basically going to boil down to cranking the speed up to 32, closing to point-blank range (hopefully tractoring the target), taking the enemy's best shot and letting the fighters do the heavy lifting.
Even against Orions, with that extremely useful +1 stealth, I had no need to tractor the enemy. Whilst I did carry on to close the range, tractoring just wasn't needed.
Beating those tactics means staying out of fusion range and especially means to deny the enemy any chance of tractoring you,
Whilst that seems the proper tactic.....
The fixed map becomes the issue. If the start positions had been reversed then my opponent might have had a better turn 1, but would have then had the same problem on turn 2. But with the start position he had it is not physically possible to avoid a range 6-10 volley on impulse 8 of 1 from the stingers (and another at some point in turn 2) except by staying where he starts, in which case the hydrans can only close to 11 (i think) with the stingers on turn 1, but that leaves you seriously cornered on turn 2.
If you start at 0301 and go speed 32 along the edge of the map (to try and run round him) then the hydran can guarantee a range 6 stinger volley on impulse 8 (as well as a range 2 main ship volley).
In order to do that you have to give up any FA shooting at the hydrans at under range 9, so your fire is limited. Further going speed 32 restricts power to weapons, e.g. 3 D5Ws only have 11 power left on turn 1, so 3 of them firing at range 9-15 average 33 damage (whilst being reasonably assured of taking over 100 in return). Smaller ships will usually be worse, e.g. a fed DW will only have 1 power left after photon arming.
In fact even doing 32 and trying to slip round the Hydrans not only fails to avoid the Stinger shot, it simply transfers you from one corner to another (more or less) badly limiting your movement options on turn 2. Again the simple attempt to end run the hydrans leaves you taking another range 8 stinger volley on turn 2 and a point blank main ship volley at some point.
If you do try and at least get a good shot of yourself then the hydran just gets a better shot as well, as you give up distance and power in order to your shooting.
The only possible general tactic I can think of at the moment is to go evasive in the stingers 'can't shoot after launch' impulse. Fusion/PhG/Ph2 fire dies off against a +2 shift, so declare evasive and then spend as long as you have to to get to a point where you can drop out with the stingers out of range , shoot, and then get back evasive if needed. It could be a long tedious game with little happening, but better than dying horribly in the first 2 turns. However, even that may hard as +2 may not help much if you aren't going fast enough to avoid the point blank volley, and high speed + evasive is very expensive.

And funnily enough, as you'll note from my first post, that is who I took on and slaughtered twice. My opponent really couldn't see how he could beat the hydrans I had with the ships/weapons he had. The +1 stealth hurt me, but if he wanted that power he gave up the +1, and Orion ships just raen't robust enough to withstand much punishment.

If that number of stingers doesn't cause your opponent to sob, you may want to consider swapping the GEN+2xST2 for a CU. If they manage to evade the speed 16 flotilla of pain, they now have a hellbore to worry about.

What weapons was the Orion trying to use vs Stingers?
Plasma-D torpedoes should be effective; low power cost, high effectiveness. Probably take at least two torps per Stinger for a kill, due to the Ph-Gs. Also, carronaded F-Torps are pretty good against Stingers. Plasma torpedoes are also effective vs Fusion Beam armed ships, in spite of the Phaser-Gs. If you can hit a charging fusion ship with enough torps, you can overwhelm the defenses.

What weapons was the Orion trying to use vs Stingers?
The weapons he came with (mainly disrupters, with a few other bits thrown in). Remember each squadron was choosen without knowing what the other player would have, so there was no opportunity to tailor the ships and weapons.
Taking Plasma D may be good against some things, but using option mounts for D's is possibly poor against a lot of other opponents.
I'm not sure how effective they would be though. For the most part you would be looking at a 2 impulse impact, a PhG can effectively negate that. There are only 4 plasmas per rack after which you are looking at DC to reload.
If the Hydrans launch on impulse 6, which would be the ideal, and happens to fit in with most scenarios that they might face with an opponent starting at 0202, then a launch on 6 hits on 8 and is negated, a launch on 7 hits next turn, and is negated. Firing 2 together usually means centerlining, which means either you are attacking the stingers head on, or running back to the corner you just came from, neither of which is ideal.
Carronades are nice, but that means getting to at least range 5 against what ever you are targeting, with fast moving hydran ships also coming at you that is risky, You still have map edge problems, and are still taking a lot of damage from the stingers (especially if you double engines losing the +1).
If you started in the corner with Fs and Ds what would be your tactic, woud you double engines and lose the +1? go speed 32? Carronade and HET back to the corner?
Like I said I've been thinking a lot about this, its not hard to think of anti-hydran/stinger tactics in the general sense. The problem is thinking of a 450 point fleet that works against all comers on the fixed map and start positions you have. I honestly belive at the moment that starting on 0202 against that hydran force is a death trap. 2530 is better but still probably an uphill struggle.
Once war and peace is out with the Vudar, I might change my mind - The IPG is easily the most efficient anti stinger weapon around. But as with ESG you have the issue of facing staggering firepower before you are close enough to actually use it. The IPG however not only has a better range, it actually gets better with more targets, whereas the ESG degrades as the damage is spread.
Although this post has made me think, for orions in a tourney would you expect to be able to choose weapons per fight, or, as we've assumed, as part of the initial submission and non-changeable afterwards?

Not sure unless I play it out, but how about a Gorn fleet of:
This is 6 PL-S and 6 PL-F or 1 R, 4 S, and 6 F (assuming you can push off the real fight to turn 2).
The puzzle seems to involve trying not to face 18 stingers all at the same time.
If you launch 4 PL-S at 1 Mohawk timed to hit at range 10 or so, you force it to either break off, release stingers early, or suck up a tremendous amount of damage.
If it breaks off, then it's 3 good ships vs 1 Mohawk, 1 Gendarme, and 10 stingers which is a much better fight. If it launches stingers early, this allows you to pick a few off and turn away at 24 speed where they can't catch you. If the Mohawk sucks up the damage, you can probably kill it fairly easily which makes the rest of the battle easier.
If stingers get close (as long as it's not 18 of them), then each Pl-F can guarantee crippling 1 per turn if you get them at 4-5 hexes range. That's 6 cripples between your 3 ships. And since you probably are moving faster than the stingers, you should be able to control the range.

Another possibility would be a Fed fleet of:
This is 14 photons and 20 PH-1 that can be brought to bear. Let's assume the engagement range is 6-8 against the Hydrans. The massed firepower of 18 stingers, 2 Mohawks, and 1 Gendarme would probably kill 1 NCL. There probably isn't enough firepower to make it worthwhile spreading fire against 2 ships.
The feds answer back by firing 14 photons at 14 separate stingers and 20 PH-1 at the remaining 4 stingers. The 14 photons on average kill or cripple (depending on whether the Fed has enough power to partially overload each photon) 7 stingers and the 20 PH1 kill or cripple 4 stingers. That leaves 7 good stingers left plus 2 Mohawks and 1 Gendarme vs 1 NCL and 2 DWs. This isn't a bad deal for the Fed at all. They can run away and reload and make another pass, but vs a much more manageable level of stingers.
Of course there is a very high variance in number of stingers getting hit by photons. The Hydrans can easily lose 10 stingers, or might lose only 4. This would have a very obvious impact on how the rest of the battle proceeds.

As an aside on that Federation force, you probably only get to use 14 Ph-1s, not 20. The only way to get all 20 is to center-line the Hydran force. If you are planning on running away to reload, I seriously doubt you want to center-line the Hydrans ...
Still some good thoughts, though.

Mohawks only carry 6 stingers each, and two Admin shuttles. With a Gendarme, those are 160 + 160 + 64 = 424.
One thing most people don't realise is that if all your ships are destroyed, any shuttles, including stingers, are considered destroyed. So I'd seriously consider sacrificing two or three ships out of my squadron to annihilate the Hydran squadron. You'd surrender a bunch of points, but score more.

I'll reply to other posts later, but unless I'm getting my ships mixed up, Mohawks are 111 + 80, that is 8 stingers and 2 shuttles. At least the ships i used were the 111 + 80 ships, could have sworn that was mohawks.

One of the most hotly anticipated spectacles of any season, the Chanel show landed today, bringing with it a surreal intergalactic setting and a whole galaxy of admirers!
We've been hot on the heels of one Miss Perry as she's dashed from FROW to FROW and now she's popped up at Chanel working ladylike chic with her ice-cool coiff. We love the cute hat and the demure lace bustline - what a far cry from the leather-clad strumpet we saw at YSL!
Another beauty rocking blue (albeit not on her barnet) was Laura Bailey - her pastel perfect dress drew sighs of admiration from the Grazia office. Styled with a camel coat and black tights, she made the Spring/Summer shade work for colder climes. Styling herself in a more summery fashion, Poppy Delevigne went Boho in a Broderie Anglais-frilled top paired with a simple black maxi skirt and some serious sunnies.
Proving just why she's a Chanel muse, Elisa Sednaoui breezed in from Planet Fabulous in a stunning green coat worn over a cropped white blouse and monochrome maxi. We're taking notes. Someone else who's been doing their homework was Alicia Keys who wore a Chanel Pre Fall headpiece atop her simple outfit.
Leigh Lezark embraced the inter-planetary theme with a flash of silver on some serious heels, whilst Caroline Sieber's metallic finish jacket from the Cruises Antibes Collection (paired with some teeny tiny shorts) had us feeling all futuristic (and maybe just a little bit chilly!).
Sticking to the classics were Anna Mouglalis - in a stunning take on the Little Black Dress (all lace sleeves and red lippie, divine!) - and Virginie Ledoyen, whose nautical dress was a trans-seasonal treasure. Both women were perfect examples of the age-old fashion formula - if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Hands up who wants a seat on Chanel's space ship?
Check out our gallery above and let us know what you think of the cast of Chanel's chic front row!

Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum and the world of photography and looking to buy my first DSLR.
I have brought a few magazines and have been reading reviews about different cameras but unsure what will suit me. I would prefer buying a camera which I can "grow into" and learn the basics of photography.
Do i go for a Nikon or Canon? and which one?
Photography would include portrait, landscade/ nature and some animals.
I would like a decent spec - I am a computer techy, hence have some understanding of file systems, formats. I have used adobe photoshop in the past; just a matter of getting back in I suppose.
Budget: <£1500; I am prepared to spare some cash for a good DSLR which I can grow into
Thanks in advance,

Crystal ball stands range from the more basic and simple designs to an array of exquisite and elaborate masterpieces. When selecting a crystal ball stand, make certain that it suits your purpose. If you will be handling your crystal ball much, you may wish to avoid crystal ball stands that grasp the ball, making it difficult to pick up and set down. If your crystal ball is mainly for decoration or will be staying in its crystal ball stand most of the time, a more elaborate and elegant design may suit your needs. Whatever your choice, be sure that your crystal ball stand appeals to you so that you will get many years of enjoyment from it.
Double Dragon Open Stand
This unique stand features two dragons that hold up the crystal ball. Crafted in pewter, holds spheres from 40mm to 80mm.
Item #: TM535, Price: $15.99
