ClassicsOnline Home » GRIEG, E.: Orchestral Music, Vol. 3 - Symphony in C Minor / Old Norwegian Romance with Variations (Malmo Symphony, Engeset)
Few symphonies can have been the subject of so many reservations as the 20-year-old Grieg's 'forbidden' Symphony in C minor of which the composer himself wrote, on the score, 'must never be performed'. Though hardly typical of Grieg, with its links to Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schumann and the Danish composer Niels Gade, this is a remarkably assured work filled with positive, youthful energy, and many fresh musical ideas. The popular orchestral suite Three Orchestral Pieces from 'Sigurd Jorsalfar', Op. 56, derived from the incidental music of the same name, was often taken by Grieg on his concert tours abroad. The concluding Homage March, almost a symphonic poem in itself, develops into a brilliant, almost barbaric festive march.

The sound here is rich in quality, carrying a persistent, subtle and not entirely unattractive gloominess. Not by accident, you suspect. The sparkle you expect of Grieg si there, but with a kind of burnish to dull its sharpness. As a music lover, you don't expect instant gratification, and if you're prepared to reserve judgment, then take the time and make up your own mind. This is a classy performance.

Although Grieg expressly forbade the performance of this, his only symphony, it is a nicely-wrought and accessible work. It brings to mind the immensely popular Symphony in C Major that Bizet submitted as his entry for the Prix de Rome. Conductor Engeset provides exhaustive notes about the background for Grieg's supression of the work. A full page in the notes is devoted to the lovely painting on the cover. Performances of this and the two other works are lively and 'native' in spirit.
By David Denton
On the title page of the C minor symphony Edvard Grieg wrote
the word 'Forbidden' his express wish being that the work should never be published
or performed. Fortunately in 1980 a Russian conductor, Vitaly Katayev, obtained
a photocopy of the manuscript and both performed in concert and recorded the
work. Though it was to overturn the composer's instruction, there was then a
rush to have an authentic Norwegian performance, Bergen going the whole way
by organizing a television relay of the work throughout Europe. It has since
been heard many times in the concert hall and made Grieg's reservations difficult
to understand. It was, however, from his twentieth year, and in the years that
followed he probably felt it would not further his cause as a national composer.
It certainly does meet his own description as being much indebted to Schumann,
though it was an assured score, melodically strong its only drawback being the
lack of a finale with the same level of inspiration that filled the opening
Allegro. Even with his reservations, he did feel happy enough to allow the two
central movements to be published in a piano duo format. For one so young it
was a well-balanced and thought-through score, all four movements having the
melodic content that many familiar symphonies lack. If Grieg had heard Bjarte
Engeset's powerful reading, splendidly performed by the Malmo orchestra, he
would surely have had second thoughts. The playing is sharp edged in the brass,
silky smooth in the woodwind and potent in the strings, the whole performance
in a different class to the other available recordings. Forty-three years later
in 1906, the orchestrated version of the Variations on an Old Norwegian Romance
appeared. It is a lightweight score rather in the mood of Peer Gynt,
and initially conductors were expressing doubt that the long list of variations
were viable in their many mood changes. Here Engeset treats it as a genial score,
the orchestra responding with a very light touch, each variation allowed to
stand on its own. The disc ends with the three well-known excerpts from the
incidental music to the play, Sigurd Jorsalfar, the final Homage March
at one time featuring among Grieg's best known pieces. I cannot praise the playing
enough, as it is some of the finest Grieg I have heard, while the recording
is everything you could wish for.
Edvard Grieg (1843-1907)
Vol. 3: Symphony in C minor
No symphony has been hedged about with so many reservations as the twenty-year-old Edvard Grieg's 'forbidden' Symphony in C minor .
But there were no such reservations about our work in recording it! From the first bar we were caught up in its positive, youthful energy, and by the potential of its many fresh musical ideas. We had to respond with the same energy, sincerity and courage as we felt radiating from the notes. Some Grieg scholars have asserted that the second theme of the first movement is 'pretty uninteresting in its scalic motion'. This very theme fascinated us deeply by the originality of its shape, and we felt that we must play it at a high temperature, with great generosity, expressiveness and innate rubato. Other scholars have complained that the elegiac E flat minor epilogue-theme introduced by the oboe upsets the first movement's formal balance. Immersed in the music, we felt that this original idea of Grieg's could create a unique tension at the end of the exposition, full of expectation and underlying unease. It is by no means easy to play the Symphony : the performance must be full of youthful energy, elegance and musicality, living rubato and a strong feel for its harmonic shifts and nuances of colour. The Finale demands a virtuosically fast tempo, and the Intermezzo needs a very particular character of its own.
During the Symphony 's 113-year enchanted sleep, scholar after scholar – Dag Schjelderup-Ebbe, David Monrad Johansen, Folke Törnblom, Johanne Cederblad, Sverre Jordan , John Horton among others – wrote about it disparagingly: it was 'clumsy', 'stiff', 'barely out of school', and not Norwegian enough.
Grieg said that he was challenged to compose the Symphony by the Danish composer Niels Gade (1817–90), when they met by chance just outside Copenhagen in 1863. The challenge may also have implied, indirectly: 'Write something of real worth' . After finishing his studies in Leipzig , Grieg had spent a year back in his native city of Bergen without finding any particular impetus, and at this point he had gone in search of wider experience to the Nordic metropolis of Copenhagen , the native city of the distinguished Dane Gade himself. The Symphony 's first movement was finished in two weeks, and the rest within a year, on 2 May 1864. Parts of the work were performed five times in the following years: in Copenhagen in 1864 and 1865, in Christiania (now Oslo ) in 1867 and in Bergen in 1865 and 1867, but none of these performances included all four movements. Grieg himself was the conductor only in Copenhagen in 1865 and in Christiania two years later. We do not know exactly when it was that Grieg famously wrote on the cover of the manuscript score: 'må aldrig opføres. E.G.' – 'must never be performed.' Probably it was in the autumn of 1867, or later.
A few more of Grieg's statements about the Symphony have come down to us: 'The Symphony was complete and the middle two movements had already been performed by Euterpe . [Note 1] But it never satisfied me and I therefore did not allow it to be published in its entirety or performed. The two inner movements can be found as Op. 14 , for piano, four hands.' And: 'I did indeed orchestrate Op. 14 , yes, I heard them too (the two middle movements of the Symphony ) many years ago in Copenhagen . They sounded OK; but under no circumstances will I publish the score now, because that work belongs to a bygone Schumann-period in my life'. The fact that Grieg published the two middle movements as Two Symphonic Pieces ( Op. 14 , for piano duet) shows that he cannot have been entirely dissatisfied with the Symphony .
There has been much discussion of the Symphony 's style, all too often based on the question: what are its unoriginal or unsuccessful features?
Beethoven was absolutely central in Grieg's concert experiences during his time in Leipzig . There are quite clear connections between Beethoven, the classical style and Grieg's Symphony . Beethoven's Fifth has the same orchestral forces (Grieg uses trombones from the third movement onwards), movements in the same keys, and – most people would probably feel – the same idea of per ardua ad astra : 'through struggle to victory'. There are also parallels with Beethoven's Third Symphony (the Eroica ), German Romantic influences from Mendelssohn and Schumann are equally obvious. The Adagio is perhaps closest to Mendelssohn, while the Intermezzo is probably more Schumannesque (think of his Fourth Symphony ), without the litheness of a Mendelssohnian scherzo.
Similarly evident are influences from Gade, whose Symphony No. 1 , Op. 5 ('On the fair plains of Zealand '), also in C minor, introduces a 'Nordic' Romanticism through the use of Danish folk-tunes. Grieg's opening Allegro has fanfares like Gade's, the trio section of his scherzo-movement (the Intermezzo ) is also in A minor, and the theme and form of the Adagio are reminiscent of Gade's Andantino . We know that Grieg was impressed by Gade's 'Nordic tone', which had been successful in Germany . Gade became conductor of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, but was forced to give up his post by the Prusso-Danish War in 1848. Another Danish composer, J. P. E. Hartmann (1805–1900), was a 'Nordic' inspiration for Grieg as well, though in Grieg's view symphonic music was not Hartmann's most important contribution. Over the years Gade focussed less on specifically national ideas, and he warned Grieg several times not to become too one-sidedly folky-nationalistic, which (he felt) might produce something more like 'Northern Lights than music'. Grieg thought that Gade later became too weakly Mendelssohnian, and he founded Euterpe to present a fiery new alternative. Even so, Grieg often expressed great respect for Gade.
Scandinavianism, with its focus on Nordic heroes of the past and romanticizing of 'folk culture', was almost literally 'torpedoed' by the later war between Prussia and Denmark (1864), when the other Nordic countries did not help Denmark . In the second half of the nineteenth century the most important thing in Norway was to define what was specifically Norwegian, as part of the struggle against the union with Sweden . Obviously Norwegian national qualities are not yet prominent in the Symphony , but in the trio section of the Intermezzo , Grieg had for the first time used part of a folk-tune: ' Astri, my Astri' , in a partly modal harmonization. Scholars have also found halling and springar dances [Note 2] in the Symphony , but that is rather more questionable. The third movement is more of a mazurka than a springar .
Another much-discussed question has been the extent to which the Symphony is 'Griegian', often with the conclusion that it is not yet 'free', but that we can still sense Grieg in it to some extent. For me, it is a young Grieg – the Grieg of 1864. What else would it be? Griegian characteristics are already present: sudden changes, a lot of chromaticism in the inner parts, and even the so-called 'Grieg-motif' – the three-note falling phrase heard most famously at the start of the A minor Piano Concerto ( Naxos 8.557279). I also feel that all the influences behind the music are pretty self-evident, without diminishing it. I do not find any unoriginal copying or imitation. On the podium I experience this music as an original achievement from a time of creative ferment in the life of a daring young composer.
It was Grieg himself who began the tradition of reservations about the Symphony , with his 'must never be performed'. The Norwegian composer Harald Sæverud (1897–1992) felt that the note scribbled on the score was a qualified prohibition, caused by particular conditions at the time; and that Grieg had great symphonic gifts, but Norway's provinciality and the pressure to focus on 'national values' prevented the development of his symphonic career. Most people associate the note on the score with Grieg feeling unself-confident after hearing the First Symphony of his slightly older compatriot Johan Svendsen (1840–1911) in October 1867. Grieg found in Svendsen's Symphony 'the most sparkling genius, the boldest national tone and a really brilliant handling of the orchestra'. Perhaps Grieg had dreamed of being the first Norwegian national romantic symphonist, but now realized that was Svendsen's domain. Grieg probably did not know about the Symphonies that Otto Winter-Hjelm (1837–1931) had written in 1861 and 1862. He may also have had a youthful ambition to take over Gade's mantle of respected 'Nordic' symphonist, but then he came to feel that the genre of the symphony was not the right road for him. Neither was the Norwegian public very used to symphonies, and it would have been difficult to 'win the people' with them. Limitations in Norwegian orchestras were probably another factor. Grieg was largely a performing musician, dependent on his 'image', his reputation. He would not have wanted people to associate him with the style of this Symphony . We know too that he was more self-critical than most: he destroyed many early works.
Above all, however, Grieg felt that the really essential thing was to be himself, genuinely and completely, to find his own individuality. 'My own individuality was still a closed book to me,' he said of his youth. The summer after the Symphony was finished he spent walking in the mountains with the famous violinist-composer Ole Bull (1810–80), and it was around the same time that he also became friendly with Rikard Nordraak. Thanks to these men 'scales' fell from his eyes: it was in being Norwegian that he could find himself.
There was a lively debate surrounding the Symphony 's rebirth in 1980. The Bergen Festival wanted to perform it, initially in 1978, in connection with the opening of the new concert hall 'Grieghallen', but the Bergen Public Library would not release the manuscript score. The reason given was respect for Grieg's wishes, and that a performance could damage Grieg's reputation. In 1980/81 the subject reared its head again, this time almost with a flavour of cold war politics and international espionage: the Russian conductor Vitaly Katayev had acquired a photocopy of the score from a Norwegian scholar and performed and recorded the Symphony in the Soviet Union in December 1980 . Katayev asserted that Grieg had the potential to be a great symphonist, and that it was a pity he had written just this one. It then became a 'national issue' to bring about a performance and recording in Norway as soon as possible, and on 30 May 1981 the Symphony was played in Bergen, with a live Eurovision TV relay.
The composer Arne Nordheim (b. 1931) was only half-joking when he suggested it was significant that Grieg had never burnt the score, even though it was often very cold at his house at Troldhaugen. Nordheim also argued that a performance 'would give us a more complete and accurate picture of Grieg', and 'enrich his reputation rather than harming it'. The same ideas led to the Symphony 's publication in 1984, as part of the twenty-volume edition of Grieg's complete works that appeared between 1977 and 1995. After the performance many reviews, with almost nationalistic enthusiasm, declared that the Symphony proved Grieg's command of large-scale form. The myth that this was his Achilles-heel was now squashed. Critics were in general extremely positive about the piece, happily discussing how full it was of Griegian/national characteristics. It was said that many mature and famous symphonists had written weaker works. Some critics, though, still had a reservation or two.
These days the Symphony is not performed that often. This is something like its tenth recording, but still critics and scholars often express reservations, even if most people are more positive about it than tended to be the case before 1980. Very few feel, on moral grounds, that the work should not be performed. There is a strong argument that today we have the right to investigate things of which artists themselves were not wholly conscious. Myself, every time I look at Grieg's handwritten 'must never be performed' it makes me stop and think. But the energy in the Symphony makes me want to devote all my musical skill to it – also to be able to say: 'Edvard, listen to this, listen to this: is this not good music?'
The Old Norwegian Romance with Variations , Op. 51 , is a sister work to the Ballade in G minor, Op. 24 (Naxos 8.550883; orchestration by Geirr Tveitt: Naxos 8.557854), but much lighter in tone and not so autobiographical. It is built on the kjempevise (heroic ballad) melody 'Sjugur og Trollbrura' ('Sjugur and the Troll-Bride') from Hallingdal, one of the valleys of central Norway northwest of Oslo . Grieg had made an earlier harmonization of it in his collection Norway's Melodies (154 folk-song arrangements published in 1875), with a revised version in his Six Norwegian Mountain Melodies (published 1886). The Old Norwegian Romance with Variations was published for two pianos in 1890, and for orchestra in 1906. Johan Halvorsen had conducted the first performance of the orchestral version on 21 February 1904, but Halvorsen, Grieg's wife Nina, his friend the Dutch composer Julius Röntgen (1855–1932) and Svendsen all felt that it was too long, and it was cut before publication. Grieg wrote to Svendsen in 1905: 'It is certainly a difficult piece to make something well-integrated out of. I imagined it as a kind of drama and I hoped you would share my conception, especially of the latter half, which demands a freer, more subjective handling of tempo. Musically speaking, variation-works like this can easily fall apart in performance, but – I bet a certain Johan Svendsen can stop that happening!' Grieg certainly wanted to show how great a potential there was in such a folk-tune: 'Yet how magnificent the kjempevise melodies are! It is as if the deepest harmonies lie latent in them, longing for a way to see the light of day.' As with the Ballade , Grieg follows Brahms's model in his Haydn Variations by making the first variation non-melodic, almost a harmonic skeleton. The ending, too, resembles the Ballade : both works arrive at a chorale-like climax, then burst out in a diabolic, tempestuous dance towards 'catastrophe', before the melody nostalgically returns. But the Romance remains the Ballade 's uncomplicated sister.
In Grieg's Symphony we hear Beethovenian heroic qualities not least in all the brass fanfare motifs, often used by way of transition. We find a similar use of fanfares as transitions in, for example, the Piano Concerto in A minor . In the much-performed Homage March from Sigurd Jorsalfar this ceremonial and regal heroic quality in fanfares comes to the fore. The March as it originally appeared in the incidental music ( Op. 22 , first performed on 10 April 1872) had neither fanfares nor trio section, but when Grieg published Three Orchestral Pieces from Sigurd Jorsalfar , Op. 56 , in 1893, the March had grown. The play itself was very successful with the public, and Grieg often took these three pieces on his concert tours abroad. His comments dismissing them as 'occasional pieces' and 'more rubbish' we can take only half seriously. But the music was much discussed and George Bernard Shaw was particularly critical of it. This was one of Grieg's many collaborations with the writer and public speaker Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson (1832–1910), who was said to have made Grieg a democrat. Despite its nationalism, Bjørnson's play about Sigurd Jorsalfar [Note 3] in many ways problematizes the idea of heroism. In The King's Hall , the movement that introduces Act 2, can be seen as a portrait of the two royal brothers: Sigurd with his calling to the crusades, and gentle, home-loving Eystejn. This was originally a Gavotte for violin and piano from 1867. Borghild's Dream is from a scene change in Act 1: 'Before the curtain rises, calm music begins, and as the curtain goes up, it depicts her troubled sleep with quiet and weary pauses, then builds into a powerful sense of dread; she screams, wakes, and gets up…' In the play, the Homage March portrays the reconciliation of the two all-too-human and quarrelsome royal brothers. Before the famous cello quartet Sigurd says : 'How much greater you are than me, brother!'
It is important to be aware of the radical politics – emphasizing democracy and liberty – of the Norwegian nationalist movement before independence in 1905. The fight for national freedom was also a fight for Norway 's individual identity, and for the right to an independent language and culture. Beethoven, composer of Fidelio , was probably something of a lifelong inspiration to Grieg in this. The builders of the Norwegian nation chose to take as their foundation the down-to-earth rural culture, much more than blood-soaked heroic historical deeds. Grieg too over the course of his life seems to have become less and less keen on straightforward ideas of heroism. Increasingly he worried that a one-sided focus on what was 'national' in his work would close people's ears and hearts to its essentially musical qualities: 'As a modern artist my aim should be universality, or, more exactly, individuality. Being national should follow because the individual is national, and then it is no burden.'

Cover painting by Nikolai Astrup (1880-1928)
Naivism came naturally to Nikolai Astrup. Growing up in the vicarage in Jølster, a tiny mountain community just off the west coast of Norway , he saw himself as a future artist at the age of twelve, and for future use he collected all his childish drawings and first attempts at painting. Always, his concern and reason for becoming an artist was the overwhelming experience of nature and of a connection to all things alive, the way he saw it as a little boy. Being an extraordinary talent, according to his art teachers Harriet Backer and Christian Krohg, he learned all the skills of a naturalist painter in his two years of studies in Backer's private school in Oslo (then Christiania), and half a year with Krohg in Colarossi, Paris. Indeed, he had discarded naturalism even before he went to Paris , without finding satisfactory means and methods in the neo-romanticism he encountered in Oslo . He needed a way that could reflect the authenticity of his childhood experience, and felt that the source must be the pictorial notes in his own childish work.
In Paris , in the art of Henri Rousseau, not yet recognized by the public but much appreciated by artists of the Salon des Indépendants, he found a confirmation of what had been his profound intuition. The primitive naive, uncorrupted by academia, could indeed be turned into valid and great art, without losing its primordial power. So, in Paris , after learning all a painter's skills, he became a true primitive, the primitive he had been in his heart all along. He felt the imagery of his native vicarage world calling, and, in a frenzy to apply his new confidence, broke off his Paris studies and went home, to stay.
Being short of money, Astrup had an excuse to return and live again in the realm of his youthful visions. His notebooks from these first years trying out a new method are interesting: he carried the little books in his pocket at all times, and made notes of what to paint next. Here, it is what he saw as a child, and the way he saw it, that was his concern. His vision was a blend of mysteries of spring light, farm animals, country people, ancient rites and folklore. In these years, before his first show in 1905, in conflict with his father over being an artist and a pagan with a taste for brandy, rather than a clergyman like most of his ancestors, and in conflict with most of the farmers for being an outsider, he created many of his most important works, such as "Spring Evening in the Garden".
Coming into the public eye with his 1905 exhibition in an Oslo gallery, in the year of Norway 's final independence as a nation, his primitive interpretation of nature and farm life, of land and people, of tradition and belonging, immediately made him a celebrated "national" artist. Critics saw his art as an authentic product of a Norwegian soil. The way that his dialogue with contemporary European symbolism and the still unknown naivism had made his art possible, was not recognized. With an elegant and stylized French art soon becoming the new paradigm in Norwegian art, following Matisse and Lhote, so remote from Astrup's intensely private struggle within his own heart, Astrup has remained an outsider in the eyes of the critics. And yet his art, highly personal as it is, also belongs to a European birth of modernism.

Mountstuart's preamble assures the reader that, in editing his voluminous journals, he has allowed "no amendations aimed at conferring an unearned sagacity ('I don't like the cut of that Herr Hitler's jib')." His humor and candor make him an agreeable companion, as he acquires experiences and acquaintances, without purpose or a dull stretch. The scenery shifts smoothly and radically: London and Paris, wartime imprisonment in Switzerland, a dash from New York City to Iriki, Nigeria, to avoid a Polanski-esque accusation. A pre-Bond Ian Fleming is his WW II spymaster; Logan's contemporary Anthony Powell (1905-2000)whose great 12-volume A Dance to the Music of Time this book sometimes resembles in smallappears as a fellow student in the Oxford Journal. Other notables include Woolf and Hemingway, the Duke of Windsor, assorted Abstract Expressionists, Baader-Meinhof. But Any Human Heart is far from a dressed-up Who's Who. Boyd has been developing the Mountstuart persona for some time: His straight-faced 1998 "monograph," Nat Tate: An American Artist, even featured a snapshot of the inveterate journal writer. (In an act of intra-oeuvre reciprocity, Any Human Heart's cover art is credited to the equally nonexistent Tate.) Along with the comedy, Boyd's empathy is everywhere evident, whether in describing his hero's soul-crushing loss of a family or the mundane melancholy of passport renewal ("These ten-year chunks that are doled out to you . . . are a cruel form of memento mori").
"Never say you know the last word about any human heart," runs the epigraph; the original line (from Henry James's Louisa Pallant) ends in an exclamation point. For whatever reason, Boyd has withheld that mark here, but he punctuates all that follows with an addictive intimacy, the tangible impress of life lived. Could you pass the parmesan?

PopSugar Poll: Are You Excited For New Aniston Romance Rumors?
Are You Excited For New Aniston Romance Rumors?
by Celebrity
Like us on Facebook
Jennifer Aniston's love life rarely has a quiet moment, but she actually hasn't been linked to anyone since Gerard Butler during award season. This week, rumors emerged about a possible romance with SNL funny guy Jason Sudeikis, who had a small part opposite Jen in The Bounty Hunter. Jennifer and Jason are teaming up again for the film Horrible Bosses, which is the project in which Jen will show some "aggressive sexuality." Jen's rep denied that she's dating recently divorced Sudeikis, but this probably won't be the end of stories about the two. So, tell us — are you excited for a new round of Aniston romance rumors?

*Yawn* Stephen Huvane is paid $15,000 per month to plant weekly stories over the PR newswire and they are then distributed to various media. Don't you find it odd that with all of the female stars in HIT movies that people PAY to see, the only one who has WEEKLY stories that ALL are then refuted is MANiston?, Huvane's practice for YEARS has been to plant and retract, plant and retract. plant and retract. Over it.

Yeah I agree I'm pretty tired about hearing Jennifer Aniston is dating ANOTHER costar. I think we know the routine. Rumors swirl and last through movie promotions, then suddenly she's moved on to her next costar. Surprise!And I don't believe it for a second.

tiabia, I totally agree. Not that I even believed the Gerard Butler rumours anyway but it was ridiculous how much they played up to those rumours to sell a crap movie. Here we go again...

Le sigh, it's the age old Aniston romance rumor (probably cooked up by Huvane) that usually goes like this: new movie, new romance rumors, probably last through promotions and opening night and then...FLATLINE!

Usually these "rumors" end up being true, as apparently she's only interested in dating other actors or models. For the attention? Noooo. Run Floyd!

40 is NOT old--in today's world women are active into their 60's, and thank god. Jennifer's rep does not make up these stories--that is the work of the tabs and blogs. How else are they (and the haters) going to be able to spread rumors about her 1. sleeping with everyone in HW and 2. being dumped by everyone in HW. The only thing old are the same OLD hate-full posts by the LOONS. Here's looking at you 9&10. (one and the same) Believe me--you know nothing if you think 40 is old.

i'm actually not all that interested in who she's linked to right now. I feel like we're always hearing about her romances, and like Kate and a few others, it never comes to anything. If it turns into something then i'll be thrilled but until then, i'm not really going to dwell.

In practice it is very important. Ball is not a hard sphere and racket is not a hard rod. The contact is distributed over the whole impact area and can never be tangential.
It is interesting that a truly rigid racket/string and a truly rigid ball can never produce topspin. No, tangential contact will not do, so don't try to rotate your head and hands now and imagine how is possible. In theory, a tangential force has no component into the ball.
Failure to understand that there is a zone of impact is responsible for much confusion. There is no true tangential or grazing shot. A tangential movement of the strings actually deforms the ball and the strings and automatically imparts forward momentum. If you have studied the 2-spring model of topspin, you can see that it is the linear forces of the springs that actually impart the angular rotation. They will automatically also impart a forward momentum.
This is true even for table tennis, where the ball is harder, the rubber is thinner, and the coefficient of restitution is higher. Even in that case, there is no such thing as pure tangential grazing. In tennis, the soft ball and the deforming strings make the forward momentum even more pronounced.

dadi's cauliflower, carrot, and green bean coconut stew
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: my grandmother, dadi, is an innovative cook. this recipe makes a vegetable-filled coconut stew, redolent of cinnamon, curry leaves and cardamom. we eat it with thin rice noodles. the key to this simple stew is to let the vegetables marinate for a few hours. - janki
Serves 2
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 cup green beans cut diagonally into 1" pieces
- 3/4 cup carrot sticks (1" long, 1/2" wide)
- 1 cup chopped onion (1" pieces)
- 2 fat sticks of cinnamon
- 1 small potato, raw, peeled and cut into sticks (same size as carrot)
- 2 cardomom pods, very lightly pressed, so the pod splits open but the seeds remain inside.
- 6 sprigs curry leaves (about a handful of sprigs)
- 1 long green chili, slit down the middle but still whole, seeds intact (you can remove them if you can't tolerate any spice, but with just 1 chili it's not too spicy)
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1/2 tablespoon turmeric
- 2 teaspoons (Kashmiri if you can find it) red chili powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dhania powder- powdered corriander seed
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 handful chopped cilantro (optional)
- Put all the vegetables in a bowl (cauliflower, green beans, carrots, potato and onions).
- Add the cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, curry leaves, green chili, salt, turmeric powder, chili powder, and dhania powder to the vegetables and mix well, making sure the vegetables are coated with spices.
- Cover the bowl and let the vegetables marinate in these spices for at least 2 hours. Four hours is preferable.
- When ready to eat, put the marinated vegetables in a pot. Add 2 cups of water, or just enough that the water line sits below the vegetables. Bring to a boil, and then simmer, until the potato is soft. Add more water if necessary.
- Once the potato is soft, add 1 cup coconut milk and bring to a boil once again, and turn off the gas. The stew should taste velvety. You can add more coconut milk if you would like the stew milder- but I think 1 cup is just right. Taste for salt. Stir in half the cilantro.
- Prepare some rice noodles. In a bowl, put the noodles, ladle the stew on top, and top with more cilantro leaves. Enjoy!

| Weaving Radiance chapter 1 . 1/29/2011
Interesting, completely new idea and brilliantly executed. Haunting, well-written, imaginative, a bit creepy and sadistic, and altogether very beautiful. The beginning was amazing; the perfect way to begin this story. The end was better, though, I think. I love endings that have an air of finality to them, but still leave things off hanging.
A new favorite for sure!

Intense and surreal, this story was one brilliant read. Thank you very much.

Waves' siren song lures riders to Calif. surf spot
Even the world's best surfers have been humbled by Mavericks, which has claimed its share of broken boards and bloodied surfers.
In 1994, Mark Foo, a seasoned big-wave surfer from Hawaii, died while surfing Mavericks. Ten-time surfing world champion Kelly Slater has also talked about how dangerous the wave is after getting held down after a wipeout there in 2000.
If the first rogue wave on Saturday were the only one to break over the pack of surfers, they would have been able to get rescued quickly by Ord - but 20 seconds later, another large wave crashed on the surfers who had been hit by the first.
In addition to taking pictures at the time, Ord was serving as a rescuer who would swoop in and grab surfers who wiped out or lost their boards.
After the whitewater calmed a bit, Ord said he drove his watercraft to a rocky area near where the waves break, and saw Trette's body floating past the rocks.
"He looked gone to me," said Ord, who is used to rescue situations as a firefighter in Margaret River, Australia.
Ord helped rush Trette to the shore. "He was making a minor choking or a coughing sound every 20 seconds or so," Ord said. "We dragged him up onto the beach and found a strong pulse. I was pretty surprised."
Trette was hospitalized in critical condition and placed in a medically induced coma. Hospital officials said he is conscious now, his vital signs are stable and "indicators are favorable."
Clark said the accident should highlight how difficult a task it is to successfully surf giant waves.
"Most successful, confident big-wave riders are very analytical about it," Clark said, adding that it was important for young surfers to take time to learn the break from veterans and locals.
"There are a lot of complicated variables in big wave surfing ... and sometimes people need to slow down a little bit," he said.

An expandable packer or anchor is disclosed. It features a gripping device integral to or mounted in a sleeve over the mandrel. Upon expansion, a sealing element engages an outer tubular and the gripping device, such as wickers on slips, preferably digs into the outer tubular. The expansion is preferably by pressure and can incorporate pressure intensifiers delivered by slick line or wire line. Release is accomplished by a release tool, which is delivered on slick line or wire line. It stretches the anchor or packer longitudinally, getting it to retract radially, for release. The release tool can be combined with packers or anchors that have a thin walled feature in the mandrel, to release by pulling the mandrel apart.
1. A method of running a first tubular in a wellbore, said wellbore comprising an open hole or cased hole, comprising:
inserting the first tubular in to the wellbore;
expanding said first tubular in the wellbore for support thereof;
using a pressure intensifier for said expanding;
longitudinally extending said first tubular to retract it from the wellbore;
removing said first tubular.
2. A method of running a first tubular in a wellbore, said wellbore comprising an open hole or cased hole, comprising:
inserting the first tubular having an innermost wall in to the wellbore;
expanding said innermost wall of first tubular in the wellbore for support thereof using only the direct application of fluid pressure to an inner wall thereof;
using a pressure intensifier for said expanding;
longitudinally extending said first tubular to retract it from the wellbore.
This application is a divisional application claiming priority from U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/456,271 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,044,231, filed on Jun. 6, 2003, which is a divisional application claiming priority from U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/117,521, filed on Apr. 5, 2002, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/344,314, filed on Dec. 20, 2001.
The field of this invention relates to packers and more particularly to packers that can be set by expansion and more particularly incorporating an anchoring feature to engage the surrounding tubular upon physical expansion of the packer.
Traditional packers comprised of a sealing element having anti-extrusion rings on both upper and lower ends and a series of slips above or/and below the sealing element. Typically a setting tool would be run with the packer to set it. The setting could be accomplished hydraulically due to relative movement created by the setting tool when subjected to applied pressure. This relative movement would cause the slips to ride up cones and extend into the surrounding tubular. At the same time, the sealing element would be compressed into sealing contact with the surrounding tubular. The set could be held by a body lock ring, which would prevent reversal of the relative movement, which caused the packer to set in the first instance.
As an alternative to pressure through the tubing to the setting tool to cause the packer to set, another alternative was to run the packer in on wire line with a known electrically operated setting tool such as an E-4 made by Baker Oil Tools. In this application, a signal fires the E-4 causing the requisite relative movement for setting the packer. Some of these designs were retrievable. A retrieving tool could be run into the set packer and release the grip of the lock ring so as to allow a stretching out of the slips back down their respective cone and for the sealing element to expand longitudinally while contracting radially so that the packer could be removed from the well.
In the past, sealing has been suggested between an inner and an outer tubular with a seal material in between. That technique, illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 6,098,717, required the outer tubular or casing to be expanded elastically and the inner tubular to be expanded plastically. The sealing force arose from the elastic recovery of the casing being greater than the elastic recovery of the inner tubular, thus putting a net compressive force on the inner tubular and the seal. Other expansion techniques, described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,348,095; 5,366,012; and 5,667,011 simply related to expansion of slotted tubulars, serving as a liner in open hole, as a completion technique. U.S. Pat. No. 4,069,573 illustrates the use of expansion to form a tubular casing patch.
The present invention relates to packers that can be expanded into sealing position. The surrounding tubular does not need to be expanded to set the packer of the present invention. Rather, an anchor such as slips is used to support the expanded sealing element and hold it in a set position. Preferably, existing setting tools, with minor modifications can be used to expand the packer of the present invention. Similarly releasing tools can be employed to remove the packer from its set position. The running string can be exposed to lower pressures than the packer through the use of pressure intensifiers. The expansion force can be pinpointed to the area of the packer, thus avoiding subjecting the formation or the running string to undue pressures during setting of the packer. Alternatively, the inner tubular may simply be an anchor for another tool or a liner string. The anchoring can be ridges on the exterior of the inner tubing directly or on a ring mounted over the inner tubular being expanded. The ring can be slotted to reduce the required expansion force.
The setting tool can be delivered through tubing on slick line or wire line or run into the well on rigid or coiled tubing or wire line, among other techniques. The release tool can be likewise delivered and when actuated, stretches the packer or anchor out so that it can be removed from the wellbore. Conventional packers, that have their set held by lock rings, can be released with the present invention, by literally pushing the body apart as opposed to cutting it downhole as illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 5,720,343.
These and other advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from a review of the description of the preferred embodiment, which appears below.
An expandable packer or anchor is disclosed. It features a gripping device integral to or mounted in a sleeve over the mandrel. Upon expansion, a sealing element engages an outer tubular and the gripping device, such as wickers on slips, preferably digs into the outer tubular. The expansion is preferably by pressure and can incorporate pressure intensifiers delivered by slick line or wire line. Release is accomplished by a release tool, which is delivered on slick line or wire line. It stretches the anchor or packer longitudinally, getting it to retract radially, for release. The release tool can be combined with packers or anchors that have a thin walled feature in the mandrel, to release by pulling the mandrel apart.
Referring to
The clear advantage of the present invention is that cones are not required to drive the slips outwardly. This means that for a given outside diameter for run in, the packer or anchor P of
The wickers 30 and 32 are preferably hardened to facilitate penetration into the casing. The sealing element 24 is preferably Nitrile but can also be made from other materials such as Teflon or PEEK. The backup rings 26 and 28 are preferably ductile steel and serve the function of keeping the sealing element 24 out of the slots 34 between the slips 18 and 22. Rather than slots 34 to facilitate expansion of the slips 18 and 22, the sleeve that holds the slips can be made thinner or have other openings, such as holes, to reduce its resistance to expansion. The expansion itself can be carried out with known expansion tools such as roller expanders, swages, or cones. Alternatively, an inflatable can be used to expand the mandrel 10 or a pressure technique, as illustrated in 4 a–4 d, 5 a–5 d, 12 a–12 e, and 13 a–13 e.
Another way to deliver and set the packer or anchor P is shown in
In a wire line variation, the setting tool would be electrically actuated to set off an explosive charge to create the needed pressure for expansion of the packer or anchor P in the manner previously described with the possibility of integrating a pressure intensifier. Once the packer or anchor P is expanded, an automatic release from the setting tool occurs so that it could be removed. Known wire line setting tools like the E-4 made by Baker Oil Tools can be used, or others. The expansion concept is the same, stroking a piston with a pressure source and, if necessary a pressure intensifier, creates the pressure for expansion of the packer or anchor P to expand it into position against the tubular or casing C and to trigger an automatic release for retrieval of the settling tool. After the setting tool is pulled out, tubing is tagged into the expanded packer or anchor.
Release of the packer or anchor P is schematically illustrated in
One way to accomplish the release as described above is shown in
Other downhole tools can be expanded and extended for release in the manner described above other than packers or anchors. Some examples are screens and perforated liners.
The techniques described above will also allow for expansion and extension of a variety of tools more than a single time, should that become necessary in the life of the well. Extension of the downhole tool for release does not necessarily have to occur to the extent that failure is induced, as described in conjunction with
Tubing itself can also be expanded and extended for release using the techniques described above.
Although the retrieving tool has been illustrated as abutting a shoulder to obtain the extension, the shoulder can be provided in a variety of configurations or can be replaced with a gripping mechanism such as slips on the release tool. The slips could alternatively replace the latching notch while still putting a downhole force on the lower shoulder. The mandrel can also have an undercut and collets can engage the undercut to put the requisite extension force on the mandrel body.
Selected zones can be isolated or opened for flow with the techniques previously described. Pressure intensifiers of various designs and pressure magnifications can be used or, alternatively, no pressure magnification device can be used.
If the through-tubing tool is used with the explosive charge as the pressure source, then it will need to be removed and the charge replenished before it is used to expand another device in the well. The hydraulically operated through-tubing tool can simply be repositioned and re-pressurized to expand another downhole packer, tubular or other tool.
The various forms of the release tools can be used with conventional packers that set with longitudinal compression of a sealing element and slips with the set held by a lock ring by extending that packer to the point of mandrel or other failure, which can release the set held by the lock ring.
The above description is illustrative of the preferred embodiment and many modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the invention whose scope is to be determined from the literal and equivalent scope of the claims below.

Gary Coleman 911 Call Details Released, Wife Afraid to Help
"He just got home, I heard this big bang, I went downstairs. Blood everywhere. I don't know if he's okay. I'm not down there right now because I have a fever, if I get stressed out I'm going to faint," she told the operator.
"He fell. His head is bloody. There's blood all over the floor. I don't know what happened," Price continued.
"Is there any way you can go down there at all?" the operator asked. "I'll try, I don't know, I mean..." she said.
"I've just been kind of sick. I don't want to be traumatized right now," the 24-year-old added.
She then called out to Coleman. "Gary, are you okay? ... Stay where you are."
With instructions from the 911 operator, Price told Gary to apply pressure. "Gary, you have to put pressure on your wound."
"He's lethargic, I can't really help him. I just need help quick," she went on. "I just can't be here with the blood. I'm sorry, I can't do it. I can't. ... There's blood all over and I can't do anything."
"Yeah, I'm just panicked. I don't know what to do ... I just don't want him to die. I'm freaking out," Shannon cried on the phone when told to give the 'Diff'rent Strokes' star a towel.
She finally acquiesces. "You have to put this on your head ... Keep pressure on this, okay, hold this. You need to sit down. Sit down! Gary, sit down!"
Right before the ambulance arrived, Price said, "I'm gagging, I got blood on myself, I can't deal."
Coleman was taken off life support two days later. Doctors determined he suffered from a brain hemorrhage.

Now they are saying that they weren't even married. So why was she the one that pulled the plug? Sounds really fishy to me.
- Wednesday 02 June
Poor Gary Coleman. He sure picked the wrong woman to be his wife, she's very immature and very self-promoting.
She will have to live with this information about her failings as a human being for the rest of her sad and unexciting life.
She is a poor excuse for a human being - perhaps she is somewhat mentally challlenged. Her actions require more explanation that what she is capable of giving.
There is no love lost between Gary and his ex-wife.
Legally - she is nobody in his will.
She left him, divorced him and wouldn't raise a finger to help save his life. It's a wonder she knew how to pick up a phone and dial 911. That must have just mentally exhausted the poor darling. She should be ashamed but then again, it would require more than two gray cells and her brain may not have even half a brain cell!!!

The dumb broad sounds even goofier than she looks...Almost feel sorry for Coleman that he got strapped with one of our more mentally challenged white gals.
- Wednesday 02 JuneBy lonirish7
She was not married to him at the time of death. So why did they let her pull the plug?
- Wednesday 02 JuneBy Sandy
I hope they do some deep investigating. I'm sorry but no matter what if something like that happens you run and see before you call 911.. how weird is this? something smells fishy Willis!
- Wednesday 02 JuneBy Lisa
That girl is an idiot! She sounds like some 12-yr old! I hope she doesn't get anything in his will.......if he has one. Poor guy. RIP, Gary. Of course, if you don't have to deal with that dingbat anymore you should rest just fine!
- Wednesday 02 JuneBy H J Bart
Some people just get physically sick at the sight of blood. Being a ninny or whatever. same with people who can't stand vomit. Our bodies reject other people's reaction. I have helped at traffic accidents. I guess I am different. The Person in need to me..it more important than my physical reaction.

i have a brother that cant stand the site of blood so i think she is the same way.there are people that cant handle these kind of things.she dont sound to smart anyway

Okay I'm having major issues with the reporting on this. From the article on here she was afraid of the blood and stressed. From the tv report on inside edition she was saying she has seizures and if she gets stressed she'd seize. Her stories don't add up. I think she has a major part in what happened to him and like other posts I've read, I also think the life support was pulled too quickly. And unless she was Power of Attorney, she shouldn't have had the right to make that decision in the first place. I feel bad for his family, and I hope they find justice and she is sentenced to life. It's tragic that she wouldn't help him. I'm sure he would have helped her even through all the stuff they've been through. It makes you think about things in a different perspective. He'll be truly missed.
- Wednesday 02 JuneBy Brad
She sounds like a real caring soul. The kind that could sit on one of Palin's "death panels."
- Thursday 03 JuneBy syzygy
Although I find her actions odd at best, and selfish
at worst, it is unfair to blame her for Coleman's death.
He didn't die of external bleeding, he died of brain
(internal) hemmorhage. Stopping the external bleeding
was not going to save him.
As far as pulling the plug, that is a decision made
in consultation with the medical people, it's never going
to be "totally" the family's call.
- Wednesday 02 JuneBy ray
What was she hoping for a large life insurance payout? Daddy's dying whose got the will !
- Wednesday 02 JuneBy Liz
Look, shes young and obviously inexperienced in any emergency situations...she seemed like blood really freaked her out...there are people that react like that. Not everyone can be a "take charge" kind of person and he died from a bleed in his head...not from bleeding from his scalp...he did not die cause she didn't hold pressure.
- Saturday 05 JuneBy k
Although the whole relationship seemed twisted, there are people who just cannot take the site of blood and get so afraid they run away even from people they love and care for . They get paralyzed .

Get Sport24 on your mobile
Van Zyl fired in seven birdies and a lone bogey to complete a fine six-under par 66 to lead by one shot over Trevor Fisher Jnr who closed with a flawless 67.
Eight players including Jean Hugo, last week's champion at the Vodacom Business Origins of Golf event in Stellenbosch, lie in a group just one shot further adrift, with Paarl local Jacques Blaauw back at two-under par.
Yesterday's winner of the Pro-Am, Merrick Bremner who is also celebrating his 100th start on the Sunshine Tour, made another solid start with a three-under par 69.
Van Zyl was more than satisfied with his round after only finding out yesterday that his driver head had cracked. Luckily he was able to borrow another one from fellow professional Andrew Curlewis and the rest is history.
Starting his round on the 10th tee, van Zyl opened his campaign with a birdie before adding another at the 12th. His only bogey of the round happened just two holes later at the short par-three 14th, where earlier Ross Wellington holed out from the tee with a pitching wedge to record the seventh hole-in-one this season.
Van Zyl then got that shot back with another birdie on the closing par-five. Four birdies at regular intervals followed on his second nine to cap off a successful first day for him. And with the wind picking up this afternoon, he may just stay in the driving seat coming into tomorrow morning.

Vegan Weddings 2012 (Stephanie Bain & Ryan Shapiro)
Meet Stephanie and Ryan, one of 2012s eight fabulous wedding couples.
Stephanie Bain & Ryan Shapiro
Wheaton, MD and New York, NY
Guests: 15 (ceremony), 75 (party)
Location: Brookside Gardens and Madame X
Date: September 15 and 17, 2011
Cost: $15,000
Their story: Craigslist: the always-available matchmaker. In 2005, Stephanie took to the want-ad website, looking for a roommate, and answered Ryan's ad, in which he asked for someone who was vegan. After Stephanie checked out Ryan's place, the pair headed to the nearby Ellwood Butterfly Preserve and Beach to check out the Santa Barbara scene. But things didn't go smoothly from there—Stephanie ended up slipping waist-deep into a large puddle. That didn't stop the two from being roommates, however—Stephanie moved in and they kept it platonic, at least for a little while. Five years later, Ryan proposed to Stephanie in the same place that he likes to say Stephanie "fell for him."

Liked this top a lot
Par Shopaholic Linda
de Whitby, Ontario
I ordered the chocolate in this top and it is a beautiful rich chocolate brown, not a muddy look. It fit very well and I feel it hides a multitude of sins. In fact, I liked it so much that I went back and ordered the blue. The material for me was very nice and felt silky against my skin. I liked the fact that the dolman sleeve was not too bulky, just very flattering. I do find that I have to order up in most of this line and the fit is perfect.

Very dissapointed with this top!
Par Poshy
de Ontario
Was really looking forward to receiving this top as it looked great on the models. The top I received had somewhat of a problem as one sleeve was about 2 inches longer then the other, no way can you hide that unless you want to have "elbow length" sleeves. Could have been a keeper but had to be returned. Getting tired of returning things to be honest, feel they need to have some quality control at TSC or do something for the inconvenience for the customer's time, gas etc.

Non, je ne recommanderais pas ceci à un ami

Love, love it
Par Uusch
de Calgary
I bought this top in the choclate.in size large The colour is terrific and it fits very well - it compliments my colouring and will go nicely with other garments in my closet. It feels wonderful against my skin and looks very elegant. I feel it can be worn casually, for business and evening. It's a winner. Thanks Guillaume.

Par DM
My first Guillame purchase, and it won't be my last. The ruching is super flattering and the top can be worn pulled down as a tunic, or ruched up to the waistline. I got the brown and the orchid, and both colours are ultra rich.

Beautiful Colours and Wrinkle Free
Par Deborah
de Ottawa
I bought two of these tops and they are comfortable. The sides are slimming with the side Ruching. You can take this top and bunch it up and it will come back like new and won't wrinkle. Great quality as usual by Guillaume. I only wish there were more colours.

nothing special
Par mocha
de Vancouver
I am very disappointed in the fabrication of these tops in that I think it's INAPPROPRIATE for the kind of t-shirt style tops that I thought these were. It's a limp, crepe-like polyester that does not resemble any kind of natural fabric, and I expect the breathability is non-existent. Very simplistic styling which could be alright, but it isn't. The seam up the back is not attractive. This is not a designer piece in terms of fabric or design, just a very ordinary mass produced polyester top that is being presented as something more than it is.

Ohio Lands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ohio Lands were the myriad grants, tracts, districts and cessions which make up what is now the U.S. state of Ohio. The Ohio Country was one of the first settled parts of the Midwest, and indeed one of the first settled parts of the United States beyond the original 13 colonies. The land that became first the anchor of the Northwest Territory and later Ohio was cobbled together from a variety of sources and owners.
