Brent Batten: Housing group seeking another grant
Why should a little thing like a lawsuit seeking repayment of a $320,000 grant from the Collier County Housing Development Corp. get in the way of making another grant to the Collier County Housing Development Corp.?
Soon after one assistant to Collier County Attorney Jeff Klatzkow prepared a lawsuit against the CCHDC for breach of contract over a grant for affordable housing that never materialized, another assistant in the office approved an item that would award the same group, under a slightly revised name, $35,000 more for a different program.
The item is scheduled to come before county commissioners Tuesday for approval.
For those who tuned in late, the nonprofit Collier County Housing Development Corp. was formed in 2005 as a vehicle for developing housing affordable to workers earning moderate incomes, people like teachers, nurses and police officers.
Its biggest undertaking was a partnership with for-profit developer Jim Shields to build a 108-unit condominium complex to be called Cirrus Pointe. Collier County commissioners agreed to dedicate $320,000 from the federal department of Housing and Urban Development to the effort to help buy the land.
Before anything was built, the bottom fell out of the housing market and Cirrus Pointe languished. In late April, the county filed a lawsuit against the CCHDC and its most recent incarnation, the Housing Development Corp. of Southwest Florida, seeking a repayment of the grant.
Attorneys for CCHDC have filed a response arguing, among other things, that Fields, not the corporation, was responsible for getting the units built.
Even as that legal battle was taking shape, another grant application from the Housing Development Corp. of Southwest Florida was wending its way through the county bureaucracy. It seeks state grant money under the commissioners' control for a program to educate first-time home buyers.
It is slated for a vote as part of the commissioners' consent agenda, a collection of non-controversial items that are voted on en masse.
Klatzkow said his office's approval of the item on Tuesday's agenda doesn't necessarily mean the attorneys support giving more money to the entity from which they're trying to recover money. The county attorney reviews agenda items for legal sufficiency and the grant application meets that standard. Whether or not to award the money is a policy question for commissioners. "If the board wants to do it, it's legally sufficient," he said.
Before making its way onto the County Commission agenda as item 16-D-5, the grant application had to be approved by a variety of county officials. One of them was Marcy Krumbine, the county's director of housing and human services.
Krumbine was also instrumental in the initial grant to CCHDC. In 2005 she was working with CCHDC and Cirrus Pointe and prepared the application for that money. She went to work for county government in June 2006 and approved an extended deadline for the Cirrus Pointe project. Even with that extension, however, the project failed to deliver the promised homes, leading to the lawsuit.
Commissioner Frank Halas, who has been critical of the Cirrus Pointe project, said he is inclined to vote in favor of the homebuyer education grant for the Housing Development Corp. of Southwest Florida. "I don't have any problems with it. This is a good program," Halas said.

Design Inspiration: Black Doors
Design Inspiration: Black Doors We all know that black is one of the most sophisticated of colors, but for light-starved people like myself, it's often written off as too dark for airy interiors. So, how to get the chic -appeal without the gloom-factor? Black doors of course! High gloss or low sheen, paired with white or black trim, they're a perfect example of timeless class.

Oruen is a musical project by Don Campbell. Tracks for Oruen were worked on early 2004. Originally the project was named 'Sisotamor Biforuen' (Neurofibromatosis), Don stripped the tracks from Sisotamor project, and layered more sounds. Originally there were two albums but Don compressed the two into one adding newer tracks and thus abandoning this project in 2009. His current project is named: Fibroma.

CC COCHRAN • 1 year ago
The latest fad of violent, black "urban yoots" is called The Knockout Game. This is just another story you'll never hear on the mainstream propaganda media. Knock-Out Game seems to be particularly popular with one segment of the American population. What these street terrorists do is pick a victim, usually an older white person walking alone, and try to knock them out with one punch. If the person remains conscious, the pack jumps in and continues the beating.

In talking with Sandra Tatzer, it is clear that the organization she has been affiliated with for 18 years, North County Networking, has added great value to her individual business. Tatzer, who is serving her second term as president of the group, explained that the loyalty within the membership has not only benefited her tremendously, but the other members as well.
"Many members talk about how it has totally built their business," said Tatzer, who is an independent executive senior sales director for Mary Kay Cosmetics. "Some people have said their business probably would have never gotten off the ground without it."
Essentially, North County Networking, which was formed over 25 years ago, consists of a group of people that help generate quality business leads for each other and, in turn, create success for themselves.
"We work on referring people to each other; it is a sense of building one another up and acting on opportunities," said Tatzer, who emphasized that the key to success in the group is consistency in participating. Discussing effective business strategies and how best to promote one's business pays off for these business people.
"It is so important to get and stay 'plugged in' and consistent in a program like this," she said. "We constantly focus on how we can add value to each other and our respective businesses."
Professions vary greatly in this networking group. Current members include entrepreneurs, attorneys (different specialties), a dentist, real estate professional, stylist, accountant, insurance agent, banker, photographer, fitness instructor, manicurist, computer specialist, and much more.
"We do not have conflicting businesses or services represented in the group," said Tatzer. "The first thing we do is make sure there is no type of industry conflict with another member. Each member is unique in their type of business in the group." Tatzer clarified requirements further.
"A person does not have to own their own business to join our group; it just needs to be a person who has an interest in growing the business they are affiliated with," said Tatzer.
The group meets every Tuesday morning at 7:30 a.m. at Caf

Bing Cherry/Louisiana?
Is it possible to grow a Bing, Stella or Ranier cherry tree in Louisiana Baton Rouge)? We're a zone 8, but for the life of me I can't find anyone that has them down here. Actually, I'm told that they won't grow here but can't tell me why.
Thanks a lot,
I grow cherries in New Iberia and my father grew them also. They are not a tree that you can plant and forget in our climate, but will grow and produce fruit.
I recommend Totalitarian and Stella as the pollinator. You can buy them at The Fruit Ranch(4 gallon $20) in Abbeville La.
I think Karpes may have meant Tartarian, aka Black Tartarian. Totalitarian is a more of a political than agricultural term.
I tend to agree with Karpes that it should not be impossible to grow certain varieties of sweet cherry in Louisiana, but it won't be easy. Diseases and fruit cracking are likely to be major problems, and I would not try to grow Bing in that climate. Full-cover dormant sprays with copper might be required to delay the onset of diseases like bacterial canker on any sweet cherry tree.
Don Yellman, Great Falls, VA
I bought a bing, a tartarian as a pollinator and a montmorcy. We planted them 3 yrs ago they were small and we were doubtful. The place we mail ordered from that yr sells junk. We reported them to GA BBB. BUT although almost everything else died the cherries are now lookin good. It still remains to be seen if we ever get fruit just 40 north of the beach in MS.
We are experienced growers and try to stick between 250 & 500 chill hours. Bracys in Louisiana is a good wholesaler. Find someone who does business with them.
Baton Rouge has about same temp as us.
I, too, would like to try growing cherries, even though I've never seen a cherry tree in this area. I live in the Shreveport, Louisiana area (zone 8) and our winters are generally above freezing most of the time except for a few cold snaps when night time temps can dip into the 30's or even the 20's. Summers are hot and pretty humid! How chilly do the "chill hours" have to be? Would our summers be too hot? It gets into the 90's in summer...and even in the 100's in August!
You get enough chilling for Stella and probably Lapins. Also the summers aren't too hot but the heat and humidity together are deadly to cherry trees. The reason you haven't seen cherries is that on average trees will live maybe 5 years. Also the rain and humidity crack and rot any fruit you might get.

So What Are you Reading?: Generations
View Single Post
April 2 2014, 02:04 PM
Location: Yorkshire
Re: So What Are you Reading?: Generations
Finished Gabriel Chevallier's La Peur, about World War 1, which seemed appropriate in this centenary year. Though better known for Clochemerle, Chevallier has written a pretty evocative and effective fictionalised memoir here, which I think actually outdoes Remarque's more famous All Quiet On The Western Front.
The story of a French soldier in WW1, It's by turns humourous, and moving, and very believable of course. I was surprised at how similar in structure it is to Sven Hassel's more infamous WW2 books, albeit with less sex, gore, and swearing. It has that same thing where characters tell stories from in between the episodes depicted, though Chevallier's narrative is a lot more upfront about these being tales he'd recorded from other people than Hassel's ever were. I did definitely come away with the impression, though, that Hassel has read this and consciously tried to do a more X-rated version of it.
Otherwise, it's a good read with a sympathetic character - except for a chapter of douchebaggery where he feels the urge to establish intellectual dominance over some nurses because he thinks that he, as a man, is inherent;y superior. To some degree the undoubtedly heartfelt refelctions of the nature of society at war do tend to slide into a sort of 1920s socialist propaganda tract, but that's of course a product of it's time - it was written in the 20s and published in 1930.
The last line, meant to be a final touch of humour, though, when written at the end of the 20s, is amazingly creepy when read in the post-Nazi era...
Anyway, I definitely recommend this one if you're looking for a spot of WW1 centenary reading.

'The cultural weight of this house is interesting to me as an artist because I'm having a conversation with the audience', says choreographer and composer Hofesh Shechter, who is currently creating his first work for The Royal Ballet. The one-act piece will have its premiere on 27 March 2015 as part of a mixed programme with George Balanchine's The Four Temperaments and Kenneth MacMillan's Song of the Earth.
'I'm very aware that the piece is sandwiched between Balanchine and MacMillan – two classical pieces – but it is a very different work. I hope the audience embraces something new, something exciting and something that shifts the energy in the house a little bit.'
Hofesh's as-yet untitled work has been created for 20 Royal Ballet dancers and – as well as choreographing – his duties on the production include co-composing a score for 50 orchestra members with Nell Catchpole.
'I started with a very basic image – a lot of people on stage and the feeling that the piece is always evolving, moving from control to out of control. It has an oceanic feel to it, and a fluidity.'
Of working with The Royal Ballet he says: 'My movement style is very different. In ballet everything is "up", but in my work everything is "down", and fluid and round', he says. 'I'm trying to invite them into my world but also step a little bit towards them. What they can do with their bodies is amazing – I want to see how it can connect with my style and maybe we can create a bit of a hybrid.'
Read an interview with Hofesh about creating his first work with The Royal Ballet.

The Four Temperaments / Untouchable / Song of the Earth opens on 27 March 2015 and runs until 14 April 2015. Tickets are still available.

'Onegin is everything a principal dancer wants to do,' says Royal Ballet Principal Thiago Soares. 'There are technical demands, and a dramatic journey with a narrative. You can really forget yourself and become that character.'
John Cranko's Onegin, which had its world premiere with Stuttgart Ballet in 1965, is an emotionally-charged re-telling of Pushkin's novel-in-verse. It explores the turbulent relationship of the dashing Eugene Onegin and the bookish Tatiana.
'My favourite moment is in the last act when Tatiana admits she still loves Onegin but won't allow him to destroy her. His rejection is the most emotional moment of the ballet,' says Royal Ballet First Soloist Valeri Hristov. 'I have previously performed as Lensky, which is very demanding, but the role of Onegin is much wider - more emotional and physical. It is the complete challenge in ballet.'
The Royal Ballet production opened on 24 January. Read audience reactions to the opening night.
Watch an interview with Royal Ballet Principal Natalia Osipova discussing the complexity of Tatiana's character.

As part of World Ballet Day, Royal Ballet Artist in Residence Liam Scarlett took us behind the scenes of his new ballet The Age of Anxiety. Set during World War II, Liam's dark piece about four strangers in a New York bar is inspired by W.H. Auden's poem and Leonard Bernstein's Symphony No. 2, both entitled 'The Age of Anxiety'.
Watch a section of the ballet in rehearsal, with Royal Ballet Principals Laura Morera and Steve McRae, First Soloist Bennet Gartside, and Soloist Tristan Dyer:
The Age of Anxiety follows Liam's previous dark narrative ballets for the Company: Hansel and Gretel and Sweet Violets.
'There are things that the human body does naturally that words can't express,' says Liam about his narrative works. 'We laugh, we cry, our heart beats faster when we are in love – all these emotions an action can speak very clearly. So it's finding those key moments when you're doing a narrative piece and not relying on words.'
Watch Liam interviewed about The Age of Anxiety, followed by an interview with Laura Morera and Steven McRae:
The Age of Anxiety runs from 7-17 November 2014 as part of a mixed programme with Ceremony of Innocence and Aeternum. Tickets are still available.
The production is staged with generous philanthropic support from Mrs Susan A. Olde OBE, Simon and Virginia Robertson, Kenneth and Susan Green, Karl and Holly Peterson, The Age of Anxiety Production Syndicate and the Friends of Covent Garden.]]>
Who better to look behind the scenes of The Royal Ballet than one of our own dancers? Over the last five years, First Artist Andrej Uspenski has been photographing the dancers at rest, rehearsal and during performances to capture what life is really like as a Royal Ballet dancer.
Speaking about the book, Andrej describes it as 'more of a story than a collection of individual pictures. It shows a day in the life of a dancer, from daily class and rehearsals to backstage preparation and performances' and even captures Melissa Hamilton on stage, showing us the dancer's view of the auditorium.
The images have been brought together in the book 'Dancers' and a selection is currently on show in the Amphitheatre Restaurant.

New animations illustrating the ancient mythological tales of Prometheus and Leda and the Swan have been published to celebrate Deloitte Ignite 2014, a month-long festival that runs from 5-28 September.
The festival focuses on two archetypal myths: Prometheus, the Titan who creates man from clay and tricks the Gods; and Leda and the Swan, the union of a mortal woman and the god Zeus, when disguised as a swan.
The animations were commissioned from students on Kingston University's Illustration and Animation course, some of whom participated in last Season's Opera Shorts series. Mike Harvey and Sophie Standing directed and illustrated the Prometheus animation.
'Prometheus is a metaphor for artistic creativity, which is why he is the centre of the festival,' says actor Damian Lewis, who provides the voiceover for the Prometheus animation. 'He was the first sculptor and the giver of life, which is the ultimate act of creativity.
The Leda and the Swan animation was created by Ellie Pritchard, Alice Stewart and Luisa Crosbie, whose Opera Short animation was published in May. Actor Helen McCrory provides the voiceover.
Helen and Damian have also filmed poetry readings, which will be played on a big screen in the Paul Hamlyn Hall during the festival. Find out more.
Deloitte Ignite, curated by The Royal Ballet with the National Gallery's Minna Moore Ede, runs 5–28 September and includes a wide range of free and ticketed events. Tickets are still available for some events. Find out more.
Wendy Whelan's Restless Creature will have its European premiere in the ROH's Linbury Studio Theatre later this month on 22 July.
Wendy, a principal with New York City Ballet who is widely regarded as 'America's greatest contemporary ballerina', has created roles in 13 ballets for Royal Ballet Artistic Associate Christopher Wheeldon, as well as roles for Royal Ballet Resident Choreographer Wayne McGregor.
She is now working with four up-and-coming choreographers – Kyle Abraham, Joshua Beamish, Brian Brooks and Alejandro Cerrudo – to create a series of duets performed with the choreographers themselves.
Ahead of opening night, we asked what she likes about contemporary dance:
After over 25 years as a lead ballerina with New York City Ballet, what is it like to now be focusing on contemporary dance?
It is so refreshing. It is a very energizing source of creativity. It's like carrying a big glass of nice cool water in the desert. It is so different that it is inspiring.
How are the demands on the body different in contemporary dance compared with classical rep?
Contemporary movement demands a very different way of shifting your weight. I have had to learn to re-direct my energy from ethereal balletic movement, and to find more earthy movement. Similarly, now that I'm not wearing pointe shoes, I have to use my feet differently. I also have had to find a new level of articulation within my upper body; ballet is so structured, whereas modern dance is more 'liquidy'.
What do you like about performing in small studios and theatres?
I love dancing in smaller spaces with less people. It enables you to simplify things and focus on the detail and quality of movement. I enjoy establishing a connection with the audience, and it's really fun to play with this when you're a little closer.
The audience sees much more of the dancer when they are at close range; they start to feel the dancer and understand what they are doing. The relationship becomes more and more revealing. It is much more exposed for the dancer, and I love it!
What made you want to work with Kyle, Joshua, Brian and Alejandro?
It's hard to say what drew me to their work. It was like tasting a flavour with your eyes, and knowing that you want more. I hadn't worked with them before, but I am now very close with all of them.
How does the collaboration work?
Each choreographer was free to create their own work, and then they tailored the movement to fit me. I hadn't previously worked with any of them, but we soon found a way to trust each other and voice different opinions.
Every choreographer works differently. In this programme, I want to highlight what is unique about the chemistry in each duet.
What music is the work set to?
A lot of the work is set to contemporary composers, like Philip Glass and Max Richter. It's very modern, and feels streamlined and sleek. We've kept it simple and there aren't a lot of instruments, which makes it feel more intimate.
Do the duets follow a narrative or are they self-contained?
We didn't intentionally craft a narrative programme, but we wanted to find an arc that links the four pieces. In my estimation, the piece opens like a flower. At the beginning, it is a tight bud and the movement is more balletic, but as the programme goes on, the movement unravels. By the end, everything has opened up and fully flowered.

This weekend, our Chance to Dance Company is performing a double bill at the Royal Opera House. The Company is made up of over 200 young people aged 7-11 and working alongside dancers from The Royal Ballet, they will be performing Still Life at the Penguin Café and Peter and the Wolf, both known for their colourful characters.
Before the performance, we spoke to participant Lois Samphier-Read, teacher Madelaine Price and Royal Ballet Soloist Kenta Kura to hear their thoughts on characterization, storytelling and why dancing and performing is important for young people:
'Telling a story is different to reading a story. It is better to tell a story by showing it. I am the Bird in Peter and the Wolf. The Wolf tries to catch me, but I trick him so Peter doesn't get hurt. You have to flutter your wings and act like you live in the sky, feel like you are a bird. I do lots of jumps and flutter my hands to make my arms look like wings. And I get into character more when in costume.
'It's really inspiring working with a professional dancer like Kenta. It's a really cool experience to be learning these steps and having lots of solos. I'm learning lots of new things I could use in the future.
'When you get all of the company together, it makes you feel that the performance is really going to be something special and makes you realise you can do anything that you put your mind to.'
Lois Samphier-Read (aged 11) is playing the bird in Peter and the Wolf.
So many young people don't have access to dance and the arts as part of their education and upbringing, but I think it is vital that more children have opportunities to watch, be part of and perform dance. We need to make it as inherent in our culture as sport.
Through the Chance to Dance programme, I've watched the children grow in confidence and become more focussed, both in our classes and at school. It's been wonderful watching the groups prepare for these performance. The group working on Still Life at the Penguin Café have researched the endangered species and it's lovely to be able to reach young people on that level.
The excitement in the air after a performance makes you realize how magical it is for these children to work in such a professional environment.
Madelaine Price is a teacher on the Chance to Dance programme.
'It is incredibly important to pass on ballet and dance to the younger generation. You can teach dance in a ballet class, but it's a completely different experience being on stage and seeing professional dancers. I started dancing when I was 8 years old, and when I first saw professional dancers, I was just amazed by how they danced – everything from the breathing to the lifts they performed. I was watching technique that you can't learn in a classroom – little things you see that you remember later down the line.
'I have been in rehearsals with the Duck, the Bird and the Cat. I catch the Duck, I eat the Bird, I get caught by Peter. It's interesting to watch the kids to see how they perform so we can create a dynamic on stage. It is real teamwork in the rehearsals and amazing how it has progressed in just the two rehearsals we have had together. They are so quick to learn!
'The programme is so important for aspiring young dancers. It is just the best opportunity for kids to get the feeling of technique, energy and dynamics from a professional.'
Kenta Kura is a Soloist with The Royal Ballet. He is playing the Wolf in Peter and the Wolf.
Chance to Dance provides a creative introduction to ballet for Year 3 children in partnership primary schools in Thurrock and the London boroughs of Lambeth and Southwark through Royal Ballet demonstrations and practical dance workshops. Children identified with a particular enthusiasm and aptitude for dance are invited to join the Chance to Dance Company for up to four years, which involves weekly classes (out of school) in their local venue, family days at the Royal Opera House and an annual performance working alongside dancers from The Royal Ballet.

Alexander Whitley's The Measures Taken opens in the Linbury Studio Theatre on 15 May.
Alex, who trained at The Royal Ballet School and has danced with Rambert and Wayne McGregor | Random Dance, was appointed Royal Ballet Choreographic Affiliate in 2012. He has previously presented work for Exposure Dance (2012), Draft Works, and a commission for Wayne McGregor | Random Dance.
His latest programme includes the world premiere of All That Is Solid Melts Into Air, a piece he began working on during Draft Works last year. The title of the piece references Marshall Berman's book of the same name, which explores modernism and its effect on community and culture.
'I want to explore the pursuit of perfection in classical ballet, contrasted with the failure of that attempt to reach it,' says Alex. 'The third movement references The Sleeping Beauty', says Alex. 'For example, the first step in the third movement is from the famous Rose Adagio. However, each time the characters attempt a classical pose, they fail.
'Similarly, I have chosen three archetypal balletic characters: a prince, a princess, and a jester. When they all perform together in the second movement, there is a sense of it being bit strange and awkward: the jester is the spanner in the works between the prince and princess.'
Performed by Royal Ballet dancers Eric Underwood, Melissa Hamilton and Marcelino Sambé, All That Is Solid Melts Into Air is set to Bow to String by Icelandic composer Daniel Bjarnason.
'There is a powerful undercurrent of dramatic tension in this music and a kind of darkness that appeals to me,' says Alex. 'Even when I heard it for the first time, there was a clear character to each act - each has a very tangible sense.
'The first movement, Sorrow Conquers Joy, is a solo for Marcelino. Marcelino's character is a jester or a fool, but there is an underlying sadness to him; his solo has a crazy, hectic madness, interspersed with quiet, lamenting passages. In contrast, the third movement, a pas de deux with Eric and Melissa, is very tender and moving.'
The titular work of the programme, The Measure's Taken, is performed by the five dancers of Alex's company and set to music by electronic sound artist Rutger Zuydervelt. A collaboration with visual artists Marshmallow Laser Feast, it had its world premiere at the EXIT festival in France this April.
The piece explores society's relationship with technology and how it affects our interaction and self-image.
'The dancers and visuals explore the intimate relationship we have with technology, and the link between technology and power,' says Alex. 'In particular, I allude to the idea of surveillance and the effect an objectifying system of power has in shaping our self-image.'
Particularly intriguing is Alex and Marshmallow Laser Feast's use of games-console technology to allow visual projections to relate to the movement on-stage.
'We are using bespoke software similar to that used by games consoles to track the movements of the dancers and then inform the visuals. Essentially, we have eight Xbox Kinects around the stage that use infra-red light to pick up the shapes of the dancers. It has been a long-time in development due to practical and logistical considerations!'
The Measures Taken runs from 15 to 16 May 2014. The production is sold-out but returns may become available.]]>
Christopher Wheeldon's new Royal Ballet production The Winter's Tale was screened live across the world on 28 April as part of the ROH Live Cinema Season 2013/14.
The relay, which was presented by Darcey Bussell, included a series backstage films featuring rehearsal footage and interviews with members of the cast and creative team. If you missed out on the night, or want to find out more about the production, here they are again:
Christopher Wheeldon, Joby Talbot and Edward Watson introduce The Winter's Tale:
Christopher based his second full-length work for The Royal Ballet on Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale, a drama that follows the destruction of a family through jealousy. 'Bringing a new Shakespeare to life through dance is an exciting prospect,' says Christopher. 'It is a very complex story, but at the heart of it is profound, inexplicable jealousy that strikes Leontes and causes him to do some devastating acts.'
The ballet reunites the creative team behind Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. 'We spent an amazing three days forensically taking it apart, ending up with a synopsis that was incredibly detailed, right down to the timings,' says composer Joby Talbot.
Sarah Lamb, Christopher Wheeldon and Bob Crowley discuss Act 2 of The Winters Tale:
In Act Two the action moves to Bohemia where the lost princess Perdita, living as a shepherdess, falls in love with Prince Florizel. 'Florizel is the son of King Polixenes and he doesn't want his son marrying a commoner,' explains Sarah Lamb, who created the role of Perdita. 'Our union, and our quest to get that union blessed, is what brings everyone back together and what heals everyone.'
The music, designs and choreography vividly depict the contrasting worlds of the dreary, troubled court of Sicilia and the vibrant and cheerful countryside of Bohemia. 'We designed Sicilia first, and Bohemia then became the antithesis of that,' says designer Bob Crowley. 'It is full of colour and pattern, and has a real exuberance compared to the austerity of the court of Leontes.'
Composer Joby Talbot discusses the music in The Winter's Tale:
A key element of The Winter's Tale is the contrast between the two worlds explored in the ballet and composer Joby Talbot has created a score that depicts these drastically different moods, ranging from the troubled tension of Act One, to the joyful setting of Bohemia (which includes an on-stage folk band) to the emotional conclusion in Act Three.
'I'm incredibly proud of it,' says Joby of the music. 'Act One has this musical language which is quite taut and troubled. In Act Two we want an absolute change - a lot of beautiful dancing and beautiful music. We're back in Sicilia for Act Three, which is very emotional and the music is freer.'

Ex nihilo/The Human Edge, two new works by Royal Ballet Choreographic Affiliate Mayuri Boonham, will have their world premiere in the Linbury Studio Theatre on Tuesday 29 April.
Mayuri, who is trained in classical Indian Bharatanatyam dance, is Artistic Director of ATMA Dance and has created two new works for the Linbury: Ex nihilo, performed by seven ATMA dancers; and The Human Edge, performed by Royal Ballet First Soloist Yuhui Choe and Soloist Kenta Kura.
We caught up with Mayuri at the start of rehearsals to find out more:
What has inspired your forthcoming works?
Ex nihilo is inspired by the 'Hymn of Creation' – one of the oldest in a collection of sacred hymns in the ancient Rigveda. It considers moments long before the Big Bang and the creation of matter. The poetry of the hymn is marvellous and I was attracted to its abstract imagery and mysticism. The dance is an expression of some of the ideas contemplated by the Vedic sages.
The Human Edge takes its cue from the Hindu story of Sati, the first goddess who appeared at the mythological moment of creation as embodied energy. The choreography draws on the drama of Sati's life, and her self-annihilation, a metaphor for the life cycle of stars.

Bharatanatyam informs much of your choreography. Can you describe the style?
Bharatanatyam originated in the state of Tamil Nadu and is the oldest Indian classical dance style that evolved in the sacred environment of the temples of South India. It uses the body as a form of expressive geometry, like triangles flowing in three dimensions. It has a codified movement language, and a rich and extensive vocabulary - 28 single hand gestures, 24 double hand gestures, 4 neck movements, 8 movements of the eyes, and so on. It can be physically distinguished from other Indian classical dance forms by its specific deep bend of the knee, which pushes out to the sides; it is similar to a ballet plié but more geometrical, and is sustained during some movements of the dance.
What other styles of dance influence you?
I am influenced by both ballet and contemporary dance; both have helped open up my own style and given me tools and ideas to work with. Last year I saw Marianela Nuñez and Thiago Soares in Onegin and Edward Watson in The Metamorphosis, and I found the physicality of their performances breathtaking. However, I always go back to classical Bharatanatyam when I want to know how to express an idea. It is my touchstone.
The music you're using for the two new works isn't what you might expect Bharatanatyam to be performed to. Can you perform Bharatanatyam to non-traditional music?
Yes. Bharatanatyam is a living, evolving dance form and anything is possible depending on the choreographer's imagination. For Ex nihilo I am using an installation of sound recordings by Bill Fontana. They range from recordings that have captured sounds such as the birth of particles from inside the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva, where scientists reproduce and measure the conditions that existed a billionth of a second after the Big Bang, to recordings from the desert in Abu Dhabi, and an old woman from New York reciting her own take on The Book of Genesis.
In contrast, the music for The Human Edge is composed by MIDIval Punditz, long-term collaborators of mine who specialize in synthesizing classical Indian instruments with electronica. Their music aims to brings emotion to the concluding part of the programme and a harmonizing influence after the abstraction of Ex nihilo.
You have previously worked with Fumi Kaneko, Yasmine Naghdi, Sander Blommaert and Nicol Edmonds. What is it like working with Royal Ballet dancers?
Royal Ballet dancers are highly disciplined and have an extraordinary physical ability that I can use to push the movement material I give them. It is very interesting to see how the physicality of non-Bharatanatyam trained dancers can help power the language in a different way. I think they have found the dance form a little alien, but it is amazing to see how they transform the movement into something completely new.
Yuhui and Kenta are consummate classical artists and it's exciting to be working with some of the best dancers in the world.
Ex nihilo/The Human Edge will be performed on 29 and 30 April 2014. Tickets are still available.
The bill is a co-production with The Royal Ballet Studio Programme.

|New Bills defense geared to create confusion
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 23 May 2013 11:02
If that leads to some Bills initially experiencing difficulty identifying what position they're playing, Pettine's fine with that, too.
```I don't know,''' he says, smiling, ``is a good answer.''
Pettine is responding to comments made by several Buffalo veterans in sharing their first impressions of a defense geared toward creating mismatches by having players learn multiple roles. Three weeks into spring minicamps, the question becomes how quickly the Bills can adapt to yet another new system - their third in three years.
Pettine's part of coach Doug Marrone's new staff after spending the past four years holding the same job with the New York Jets.

Comparisons of movies at different times is meaningless, if the figures aren't adjusted.
I of course realize those are not adjusted but absolute figures are what most people use to compare films. STFC still made the most in absolute dollars for any of the movies before ST09. ST09 and STTMP sold the most tickets. There are often inaccuracies with using the adjusted numbers based on what method used to adjust, and international sales were less accurate back in the 70s and 80s and figuring out the ticket prices is even more problematic.
I'm still trying to figure out why STTMP's original take of $175 million has been readjusted from almost every source I see to $139 million.
Using the Consumer Price Index, the inflation calculator on this site...
reveals 1979's
to be worth approx.
in 2012 money. Out of interest, according to Box Office Mojo, First Contact took
worldwide in 1996, which translates to
2012. I have no idea if this is the most accurate, or even an appropriate, method of comparing box office figures.
Accounting for inflation, STID's take domestically rises to over $403 million total as well ($278 million domestic). Probably over $420 million worldwide.
It is partly this disagreement on accuracy both amongst fans and the business that I don't normally like using adjusted figures.

So i just got done watching this flick . I think this was a straight 2
DVD flick . Nevertheless it was mildly entertaining and a good story
enough to not get you bored . Also this is the director first time
directing a movie so i guess he managed to do a good job . Firstly
without revealing too much , its about a boxer who has moved from
America to bangkok for certain reasons and meets up with this so called
"fan" . I don't think i ever got bored in the film , and i kinda like
these low budget / not so Hollywood type movies . Actors in the film do
a good job in their roles and everyone did a decent job without over
reacting . There is a certain climax in the end , so look out for that
too .
Overall i would give this move a 6.5 . Not more , Not less
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
"The Bad Penny" is a perplexing but fascinating blending of crime
drama, psychological thriller, and neo-noir detective story a film
that, like actual memories, is pieced together largely from fragmented
flashback sequences that pop up at random. In actual linear time, it
unfolds in less than an hour and a half. In narrative time, everything
we see may in fact occur within a matter of minutes. We don't really
know for sure. All we do know is that director/co-writer Todd Bellanca
freely experiments with dialogue and structure as he fashions a raw and
ragged character study. The film's unconventional style is matched only
by its fast-and-loose production. The first week of shooting was done
without a locked script. The location work in Bangkok, which featured
existing buildings and real people, was done with only a six-man crew,
one of which was the star. Because the filmmakers lacked a permit, they
had to resort to bribing cops and bar owners.
Although the end result is not perfect, it certainly never fails to be engrossing. As we traverse its convoluted, meandering path, we witness the evolution of a man named Jack (Casey Evans), who was raised by his uncle Johnny (Jim Van Vleck) after his abusive parents committed suicide right in front of him. He would grow up to become a local boxing hero in his native St. Louis, only to be exiled in Bangkok after his refusal to throw a fight led to an unfortunate turn of events. As he becomes increasingly consumed by the city, both emotionally and physically, he finds himself falling in love with a Thai prostitute named Saranya (Sumonta Muangthai) and being tempted back into fighting by a Russian mobster named Terry (Ilia Volok), who has control of all Russians and all the fighting in that particular area.
Most of these events are being reenacted in Jack's memory, specifically as he shares them with a mysterious boxing fan named Marcus (Nick Faltas), who remembers Jack from his days in St. Louis. They meet in Jack's bar, a dimly-lit dive tucked away somewhere within the dense urban jungle of Bangkok. In what I suspect is the present day, Jack has become a shadow of his former self grossly overweight, heavily bearded, and numb on alcohol. Despite being in a downward spiral, and despite his apparent acceptance of it, his natural instinct is to fight back. There's a tragic reality to this character, in large part, I suspect, because Evans was able to merge his training as an actor with his real-life status as a former pro boxer. Unlike films such as "Rocky" or "The Fighter," boxing is not the overarching theme of the story; it's but one strand of many that are loosely woven together.
Exactly what is Marcus doing in that bar? How did he manage to find Jack? His exact nature is not entirely clear to me, but then again, maybe that was the intention. Marcus is, in the best possible sense, little more than a deus ex machina, the means by which Jack tells his story. If he does have any meaning as a character, it's entirely incidental. Pay special attention to the dialogue Bellanca and Sasha Levinson supply to Jack and Marcus as they engage in conversation; it sounds like a merging of hard-boiled private eye fatalisms and filthy gangster talk, where four-letter words are delivered as if the actors were being paid by the syllable. Sheer theatricality aside, you have to admire the skill with which Evans and Faltas bounce their lines off of each other. Like any good wordy film, it's like a well-paced ping pong match.
Bellanca shows a healthy fascination with the city of Bangkok, which displays an alluring architectural contrast between ancient wonder and urban seediness. Relying on a rough hand-held style of camera-work, due mostly to filming limitations imposed by local authorities, he examines the glow of neon signs in the red light districts, the frantic hustle and bustle of street and foot traffic, the undeniable lure of massage parlors, and the wetness of cobblestones on a humid night. The character of Jack is not in love with the city so much as possessed; it has grabbed hold of him, and no matter what he does, he will never be able to wriggle free.
The ending is perhaps too abstract for its own good. With its very nonlinear editing, it does little more than create confusion over what actually happened and when. Of course, if I'm to take Bellanca's word for it, confusion was the intention: "To me the film wasn't a veneer," he told Briege McGarrity of "Independent Film Quarterly" during an interview on this film. "When you scratch the surface you find it goes deeper and even if it takes a couple of viewings, the viewer is likely to discover details they missed the first time." I've only seen "The Bad Penny" once, so it's possible I'm not yet qualified to have an opinion on it. I don't know if I can handle a second viewing. All I know is that, although uncommon and at times difficult to follow, the film is visually and narratively hypnotic.
-- Chris Pandolfi (www.atatheaternearyou.net)
This movie was better than I expected it to be. I enjoyed the boxing
scenes the most, although the cinematography throughout was uniquely

A screw with a stripped head & a special challenge
This is not a woodworking problem -- the screw holds together the case of a chainsaw -- but woodworking seems to be the most suitable topic to post in.
The challenge is that the screw is recessed in a well about 1/2" deep. It's a common design for tool cases with a left and a right half held together by screws. This makes the standard extraction technique impractical; inserting a drill bit in the well blocks the view so that I can't see what I'm doing. It makes most of the alternatives I've read about impossible, even in theory.
Have you successfully removed a screw in this situation? How did you do it?
I'd use a small drill bit, bore about 1/4 to 3/8 inch into the screw head and use an 'easy-out' to extract the screw. The instructions that come with the easy-out will suggest a drill bit size.
Before doing this, though, are you positive you are using the correct size screwdriver? A #1 phillips will often work on a #2 sized screw, but when either is a bit worn it can result in slippage. Assuming you are dealing with a phillps head screw, make sure you are using a screwdriver of the correct size that has a good condition tip. Also, a good deal of inward force onto the screw head will give the screwdriver a better chance of getting a purchase.
Would it help to put a wide rubber band between the screwdriver and the screw, and then apply that "good deal of inward force" so that you stretch out the rubber band to be thinner? The idea is that the rubber band is supposed to create a grippy surface.
I've seen that suggested on Pinterest, but I don't know if it works.
Then slow, small turns--think 1/32 of an inch or something. I find that to help w/ stripped screw heads; as long as I don't try to do the whole thing at once, I can actually get somewhere. Eventually, LOL!
As a mechanic, I had access to or owned many special tools. The first one I would reach for in your situation would be an impact screwdriver---like the one on the left in the link(manual operation)
Those are reversible, but are mainly used for removal of stubborn screws/bolts.
If that failed, using a small drill bit, followed by a larger one that will remove the head of the screw would be choice #2.
Once the head is gone, the case is able to be separated and heat applied judiciously to use a pair of vise grip pliers to remove the screw shank.

Carter has been in the playoffs 4 times.
Rookie year... they all sucked.
ECF run, in which he played well.
Busted shoulder, and was our most dangerous player for much of the series while getting robbed by MAF.
Played on
broken feet.
To me not only does Danny step up in the playoffs but he is also not as much as a defensive liability when it counts.
HAHAHAHA... were you not watching the Boston series in particular? I am still not fully recovered from the comedy of watching Briere skating around covering nobody. Briere is a defensive disaster regardless of when you look at him... he was just on a roll offensively (to an epic degree) and it masked his defensive stupidity.
Ray Bourque was screwed by Jeremy Jacobs ownership. This is a club who took Ray Bourque to salary arbitration. Ray Bourque, who had done everything ever asked of him. And so he moved on and won in Colorado.
Oh, so there are cases where not having your name on the Cup isn't a sign that you should be cast out and branded awful?
There are players who raise their game when the game gets tight and tougher, and there are guys who fold.
Is having your name on the Stanley Cup the only goal? Nope, but the guys who play the game to win all want their name on the Holy Grail of hockey. Anyone who says they won scoring titles and this award and that...etc...and the Stanley Cup never really mattered were not playing the game to win as a team and is probably why they never won.
That's just it... over large samples, that statement proves not to be true. It's developed from the fact that the human brain is *ing terrible at processing large volumes of information, so you give bias to things like hot playoff runs and playoff success... ignoring when a player possibly has a mediocre playoff run later on.
For a GREAT example of this, go check out Derek Jeter, playoff warrior's stats. He had some hot playoffs when he was younger, but has been quite pedestrian since then.
It's called reversion to mean, and pretty much everyone is susceptible to it... both upwards and downwards over time.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is continuing to warn the international community not to back down from economic sanctions against Iran, but to keep up the pressure.
The Netanyahu government believes that talks with Iran are just the latest in Tehran's attempt to deceive the world and buy time to produce a nuclear bomb.
Is the world being lulled into a false sense of security about Iran's Rouhani? CBN News Terrorism Analyst Erick Stakelbeck, answers this and more on Newswatch, Oct. 16.
Both Iran and international powers sounded optimistic at the end of the first day of talks in Geneva.
But Netanyahu urged the international community not to let up on sanctions or stop short of its goal.
"I think there's a great opportunity to apply continuous pressure or even greater pressure to have Iran dismantle its nuclear weapons capability," he said.
"I think it would be a great mistake to ease the sanctions of Iran without getting the full dismantling of Iran's nuclear capability and I call on the international community to do exactly that," he said.
In an uncharacteristic move, Israel's security cabinet released a lengthy statement ahead of the talks, detailing Iranian breaches of U.N. Security Council resolutions and Israel's conditions for accepting a diplomatic agreement.
