J. A. Mulford, wholesale dealer in hides, leather, findings, furs, pelts and tallow, Mattoon; was born in Newark, N. J., May 16, 1839; he completed a course in the high school, but did not enter upon a college course; at the age of 17, he began the trade of a jeweler, and worked under instructions till his majority; he followed his trade about five years; subsequently he was employed as accountant, and had charge of the wholesale department of Davis & Elcox, in Maiden Lane, New York, for some length of time; in the spring of 1867. he came West to Illinois and located in Mattoon, and began operating in hides for the Chicago markets; afterward, he operated for the Eastern markets; today, he operates over a territory extending west to St. Louis and east to Terre Haute; by an admirable system of book-keeping, peculiarly his own, he is enabled at any hour to know the exact status of his business. He was married Sept. 10, 1863, to Sarah E. Pruden, a native of New Jersey; they have three children – E. Ross, Jennie and Herbert. Mr. Mulford is recognized as a man of fine business qualifications, and well worthy the success that has crowned his efforts.

One person was injured and some animals were killed Tuesday night during a fire at a pet grooming shop in southeast Denver.
The fire was under control by 10 p.m. Firefighters said the injured person was taken to a hospital and treated for smoke inhalation.
"When crews arrived, they found heavy flames showing from the rear of the building," said Tony Berumen, division chief for the Denver Fire Department. "They were immediately able to gain access through the front of the building and knock the fire down."
Firefighters said there were animals inside during the blaze at Bill's Clips and Collars, 2140 S. Albion St. near East Evans Avenue. Some survived, but at least two animals died.
"There were a lot of cages in there, so I am not going to speculate the number of animals at this time," Berumen said.
Animals that survived were to be turned over to animal control, Berumen said.
The owner of the business arrived shortly after the fire was out and was visibly shaken when approaching fire department personnel.
Officials said it was too early to say what caused the fire.
The business has been in the neighborhood for many years.
"They knew immediately the occupancy when they heard the address coming out of the fire house, " Berumen said.

UUIDs (related to GUIDs) are used frequently in computing applications. If you don't know these by name, you will probably recognize the 128-bit value in the format in which it is typically rendered:
This is just an example value--these are usually generated on demand to uniquely identify an object. In WS-Discovery and DPWS, UUIDs are recommended as a way to uniquely identify devices, services, clients, and even individual messages.
Although the process for generating UUIDs is well-understood, there is a lot of inconsistency in how they are renedered in Web Services messages. In most cases, these UUIDs are used as URIs, which means we have to supply a scheme (such as "urn:uuid:"--"http:" is another scheme) in addition to the URI content (the UUID).
It's common to see two URI schemes used to describe UUIDs: "uuid:" and "urn:uuid:" So the example UUID above would be either uuid:7673868d-231e-490d-9c4f-19288e7e668d or urn:uuid:7673868d-231e-490d-9c4f-19288e7e668d, depending on which scheme is used. Here's the difference between the two:
There are cases where uuid: is explicitly required (UPnP is one of them) but in all other cases, you should consider whether urn:uuid: is a better alternative. In most Web Services applications, urn:uuid: is preferred--in fact, WSDAPI does additional validation on urn:uuid:-scheme URIs that it does not perform on uuid:-scheme URIs.
So if you're implementing DPWS on your own, or are generating UUIDs to pass into WSDAPI, please use the urn:uuid: form whenever possible.

You brushed down your grey skirt for the fifth time that morning as you walked down the stairs to see your mother looking at you smiling.
"You look gorgeous ___!" Your mother squealed as she hugged you
"Thanks mum!" You sighed gingerly hugging back.
This was the second school you transferred to since your parents split up. The people at the other school weren't very nice to you because of your shyness and you couldn't fit in anywhere.
You still missed your old-old school and your friends plus the fact you were going to a girl AND BOY school was a new experience. That and the uniform was grey and white, could it get any blander?
You slung your school bag over her shoulder and headed onto the bus. You nonchalantly glanced for a spare seat when a girl with purple hair tied up in a high ponytail swiftly raised her hand up "you can sit here if you want!" She called. You nodded and sat next to her.
"You're the new girl right?" She asked. Surprised, you nod

Your face lightened up a bit, "Really? what is it?" You asked, suddenly excited and looked up to Rainbowblitz. He just blushed.
"Can't tell you~ you'll find out if you win." He smirked, and made his way to the edge of the clouds, jumping off and floating up.
"Hmf. Fine! You're on!" You yelled, and sprang off the clouds, doing a summersault and landing next to Rainbowblitz.
As you two prepared for the race, you gained a few onlookers. One pegasus stepped up with a small, multicolored flag.

"Well, at least I won't be alone. I don't mind but, is this Knuckles guy good?" you asked turning off the faucet and walking in the living room to continue the conversation with your good friend Sonic the Hedgehog.
"I mean, I don't want to get hurt when he goes berserk like the last time when you left Amy here." The thought made you pale and you promised yourself to never get close to Sonic when Amy's around if you don't want to get hit by her hammer, again.
"Don't worry ______." He put a hand on your shoulder.
"I doubt that Knuckles will harm a single hair on your head." He said giving you a wink and a thumb up.
"I hope so." You sighed.
"It's settled then, I'll be back in a jiffy." He said then went outside with a blue flash.
You giggled and sat crisscross on the floor, staring at the door for Sonic to come in at any second.
'I wonder what Knuckles' like?' you thought and just in time, Sonic came in.

"Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." -- The opening line of Leo Tolstoy's classic novel "Anna Karenina"
There are consistent guiding principles found in healthy & happy couples. How they communicate; how they negotiate differences; how they handle stress; how they seek to get their emotional needs met AND how they respond to unmet needs. Every couple must engage those issues.
Couples counseling that is practical & solution-focused can equip couples to resolve impasses and restore closeness. When you get right down to it, being close and enjoying closeness is what we all want. The good news is that it's within reach and not too much to ask for.
Marriage and Couples Counseling helps when relationships have been troubled for a while. It also serves in acute crisis conditions when either partner is frustrated, hysterical, lonely or misunderstood. Remember, marriage counseling could also be used as a preventive medicine if done on the right time and early on. It offers you tools for communication, expression of feelings, and problem-solving within a relationship.
Couples are together in hope of enriching their lives by having a primary loving relationship. My years of experience working with couples have taught me that happiness in a relationship is less about "finding the right person", and more about developing the art of love through each partner becoming more attentive to the needs of the other, more accepting of who the other is, more appreciative of what they do, more affectionate in the way the other longs for, and more allowing of the other's personal growth and freedom within the context of a committed relationship. These are the Five "A's" of relationships. (thanks, David Richo!)
By the time you decide to seek out a couples therapist, it can assumed you have spent much time ruminating about your problem(s) and talking with your partner attempting to resolve conflict. Unfortunately, does it seem you get more of the same? So why would you want to repeat those same conversations in therapy?

The ECHL's Trenton Titans have ceased operations, the league announced today.
That trims the Eastern Conference to 13 teams; there are nine teams, including the Alaska Aces in the Western Conference.
But don't be surprised if the ECHL picks up another team or two prior to next season.
Yeah, the Blog hears things, so he'll take a wild, semi-educated guess -- is there such a thing? so puzzling -- and say the ECHL will next season consist of 24 teams. We're gonna take a stab and say the mix with either be 11 Western and 13 Eastern, or 10 Western and 14 Eastern.
A reminder: This guess is not for betting purposes. 'Course, not sure there's an actual Vegas line on this sorta thing.

Group of Thugs c. 1894

Thuggee or tuggee (Hindi: Nepali ठग्गी ṭhagī; Urdu: ٹھگ; Sanskrit: sthaga; Sindhi: ٺوڳي، ٺڳ; Kannada: ಠಕ್ಕ thakka) refers to the acts of Thugs, an organised gang of professional robbers and murderers.
The Thugs travelled in groups across South Asia for six hundred years.[1] Although the Thugs traced their origin to seven Muslim tribes, Hindus appear to have been associated with them at an early period. They were first mentioned in Ẓiyā-ud-Dīn Baranī's History of Fīrūz Shāh dated around 1356.[2] In the 1830s they were targeted for eradication by William Bentinck, Governor-General of India, and his chief captain William Henry Sleeman. The Thugs were seemingly destroyed by this effort.[1][3]
The Thugs would join travelers and gain their confidence. This would allow them to then surprise and strangle their victims by pulling a handkerchief or noose tight around their necks. They would then rob their victims of valuables and bury their bodies. This led them to also be called Phansigar (English: using a noose), a term more commonly used in southern India.[4] The term Thuggee is derived from the Hindi word ठग, or ṭhag, which means "deceiver". Related words are the verb thugna, "to deceive", from Sanskrit स्थग sthaga "cunning, sly, fraudulent", from स्थगति sthagati "he conceals".[5] This term for a particular kind of murder and robbery of travellers is popular in South Asia and particularly in India.
The earliest currently known recorded mention of the Thugs as a special band or fraternity, rather than as ordinary thieves, is found in the following passage of Ziau-d din Barni's History of Firoz Shah (written about 1356):
In the reign of that sultan (about 1290), some Thugs were taken in Delhi, and a man belonging to that fraternity was the means of about a thousand being captured. But not one of these did the sultan have killed. He gave orders for them to be put into boats and to be conveyed into the lower country, to the neighbourhood of Lakhnauti, where they were to be set free. The Thugs would thus have to dwell about Lakhnauti and would not trouble the neighbourhood of Delhi any more.— Sir HM Elliot, History of India, iii. 141.
Membership was sometimes passed from father to son, in what would now be termed a criminal underclass. The leaders of long-established Thug groups tended to come from these hereditary lines, as the gang developed into a criminal tribe. Other men would get to know a Thug band and would hope to be recruited, in the way that one might aspire to join an elite regiment or university: they were the best operators in "the business" and, like a regiment or college fraternity, once in the group, there was a camaraderie of numbers and shared experience. The robbery became less a question of solving problems of poverty and more a profession, like soldiering.
Sometimes the young children of the travellers would be spared and groomed to become Thugs themselves, as the presence of children would help allay suspicion. A fourth way of becoming a Thug was by training with a guru, similar to an apprenticeship for a guild or profession, during which the candidate could be assessed for reliability, courage, discretion and discipline.[6]
Murdan Khan and gang from Lucknow (1840)
The modus operandi was to join a caravan and become accepted as bona-fide travellers themselves. The Thugs would need to delay any attack until their fellow travellers had dropped the initial wariness of the newcomers and had been lulled into a false sense of security, gaining their trust. Once the travellers had allowed the Thugs to join them and disperse amongst them – a task which might sometimes, depending on the size of the target group, require accompaniment for hundreds of miles – the Thugs would wait for a suitable place and time before killing and robbing them.
There were obviously variations on this theme. When tackling a large group, a Thuggee band might disperse along a route and join a group in stages, concealing their acquaintanceship, such that they could come to outnumber their intended victims by small, non-threatening increments. If the travellers had doubts about any one party, they might confide their worries to another party of the same Thuggee band. The trusted band would thus be the best placed to deal with these members of the caravan at the appropriate time, but might also be able to advise their colleagues to 'back off' or otherwise modify their behaviour, to allay suspicion.
The killing place would need to be remote from local observers and suitable to prevent escape (e.g. backed against a river). Thugs tended to develop favoured places of execution, called beles. They knew the geography of these places well—better than their victims. They needed to, if they were to anticipate the likely escape routes and hiding-places of the quicker-witted and more determined of the travellers.
The timing might be at night or during a rest-break, when the travellers would be busy with chores and when the background cries and noise would mask any sounds of alarm. A quick and quiet method, which left no stains and required no special weapons, was strangulation. This method is particularly associated with Thuggee and led to the Thugs also being referred to as the Phansigars, or "noose-operators", and simply as "stranglers" by British troops. Usually two or three Thugs would strangle one traveller. The Thugs would then need to dispose of the bodies: they might bury them or might throw them into a nearby well.[6]
The leader of a gang was called the "Jemadar".
They usually killed their victims in darkness while the Thugs made music or noise to escape discovery. If burying bodies close to a well-travelled trade-route, they would need to disguise the "earthworks" of their graveyard as a camp-site, tamping down the covering mounds and leaving some items of rubbish or remnants of a fire to "explain" the disturbances and obscure the burials.[citation needed]
One reason given for the Thuggee success in avoiding detection and capture so often and over such long periods of time is a self-discipline and restraint in avoiding groups of travellers on shorter journeys, even if they seemed laden with suitable plunder. Choosing only travellers far from home gave more time until the alarm was raised and the distance made it less likely that colleagues would follow on to investigate the disappearances. Another reason given is the high degree of teamwork and co-ordination both during the infiltration phase and at the moment of attack.[citation needed]
The garrote is often depicted as the common weapon of the Thuggee.[7][8] It is sometimes described as a Rumāl (head covering or kerchief), or translated as "yellow scarf". "Yellow" in this case may refer to a natural cream or khaki colour rather than bright yellow.
Most Indian males in Central India or Hindustan would have a puggaree or head-scarf, worn either as a turban or worn around a kullah and draped to protect the back of the neck. Types of scarves were also worn as cummerbunds, in place of a belt. Any of these items could have served as strangling ligatures. Behram, the most prolific killer among the Thuggee is known to have improvised his method of strangulation by sewing a large medallion into his cummerbund to possibly add weight to the cloth. The medallion he used has been identified as the Canova medallion.[citation needed]
Estimates of the total number of victims vary widely, since no reliable source confirms the length of the Thugs' existence. According to the Guinness Book of Records the Thuggee cult was responsible for approximately 2,000,000 deaths, while British historian Mike Dash states that they killed 50,000 persons in total over an estimated 150 years. According to political scientist David C. Rapoport an estimate of 500,000 were killed by the Thugs, making them the most destructive terrorist group in history.[9] According to other estimates, the Thugs murdered 1 million people.[10]
The Thuggees were suppressed by the British rulers of India in the 1830s.[6] The arrival of the British and their rigorous methods to fight crime meant the techniques of the Thugs had met their match. Suddenly, the mysterious disappearances were mysteries no longer and it became clear how even large caravans could be infiltrated by apparently small groups that were in fact acting in concert. Once the techniques were known to all travellers, the element of surprise was gone and the attacks became botched, until the hunters became the hunted.[citation needed]
Reasons for success included:
The initiative of suppression was due largely to the efforts of the civil servant William Sleeman, who captured "Feringhea" (also called Syeed Amir Ali, on whom the novel Confessions of a Thug is based), and got him to turn King's evidence. He took Sleeman to a grave with a hundred bodies, told him the circumstances of the killings, and named the Thugs who had done it.[11]
After initial investigations confirmed what Feringhea had said, Sleeman started an extensive campaign involving profiling and intelligence. The Government of India established the Thuggee and Dacoity Department in 1835, with Sleeman appointed the first Superintendent. Thousands of men were either put in prison, executed, or expelled from British India.[6]
The campaign made heavy use of captured Thugs who became informants. These informants were offered protection on the condition that they told everything that they knew. By the 1870s, the Thug cult was extinct, but the history of Thuggee led to the Criminal Tribes Act (CTA) of 1871. Although the CTA was repealed upon Indian independence, the concept of criminal tribes and criminal castes is still present in India.[12][13] The Thuggee and Dacoity Department remained in existence until 1904, when it was replaced by the Central Criminal Intelligence Department (CID).
The discovery of the Thuggee was one of the main reasons why the Criminal Tribes Act was created. In Following the Equator, Mark Twain wrote of a government report made in 1839 by Major Sleeman of the Indian Service:[11]
There is one very striking thing which I wish to call attention to. You have surmised from the listed callings followed by the victims of the Thugs that nobody could travel the Indian roads unprotected and live to get through; that the Thugs respected no quality, no vocation, no religion, nobody; that they killed every unarmed man that came in their way. That is wholly true—with one reservation. In all the long file of Thug confessions an English traveller is mentioned but once—and this is what the Thug says of the circumstance:
"He was on his way from Mhow to Bombay. We studiously avoided him. He proceeded next morning with a number of travellers who had sought his protection, and they took the road to Baroda."
We do not know who he was; he flits across the page of this rusty old book and disappears in the obscurity beyond; but he is an impressive figure, moving through that valley of death serene and unafraid, clothed in the might of the English name.
We have now followed the big official book through, and we understand what Thuggee was, what a bloody terror it was, what a desolating scourge it was. In 1830 the English found this cancerous organisation embedded in the vitals of the empire, doing its devastating work in secrecy, and assisted, protected, sheltered, and hidden by innumerable confederates —big and little native chiefs, customs officers, village officials, and native police, all ready to lie for it, and the mass of the people, through fear, persistently pretending to know nothing about its doings; and this condition of things had existed for generations, and was formidable with the sanctions of age and old custom. If ever there was an unpromising task, if ever there was a hopeless task in the world, surely it was offered here—the task of conquering Thuggee. But that little handful of English officials in India set their sturdy and confident grip upon it, and ripped it out, root and branch! How modest do Captain Vallancey's words sound now, when we read them again, knowing what we know:
"The day that sees this far-spread evil completely eradicated from India, and known only in name, will greatly tend to immortalise British rule in the East."It would be hard to word a claim more modestly than that for this most noble work.— Chapter xlvi, conclusion.
Thuggee trace their origin to the battle of Kali against Raktabija; however, their foundation myth departs from Brahminical versions of the Puranas. Thuggee consider themselves to be children of Kali, created out of her sweat. This particular point is also one of the clear disconnects in the story built on the Thuggees. While only Hindus worship Kali, a large number of the Thuggees captured and convicted by the British were Muslims.[15]
According to some sources,[which?] especially old colonial sources, Thuggee believed they had a positive role, saving humans' lives. Without Thuggee's sacred service, Kali might destroy all of humankind:
In contrast, Dash states that they did not have a religious motive to kill and that the colonial sources were wrong and prejudiced in that respect.[6]
In her book The Strangled Traveler: Colonial Imaginings and the Thugs of India (2002), Martine van Wœrkens suggests that evidence for the existence of a Thuggee cult in the 19th century was in part the product of "colonial imaginings"—British fear of the little-known interior of India and limited understanding of the religious and social practices of its inhabitants. For a comparison, see Juggernaut and the Black Hole of Calcutta.
Krishna Dutta, while reviewing Mike Dash's Thug: the true story of India's murderous cult in The Independent, argues:[17]
In recent years, the revisionist view that Thuggee was a British invention, a means to tighten their hold in the country, has been given credence in India, France and the US, but this well-researched book objectively questions that assertion.
In his book, Dash rejects scepticism about the existence of a secret network of groups with a modus operandi that was different from highwaymen, such as dacoits. To prove his point Dash refers to the excavated corpses in graves, of which the hidden locations were revealed to Sleeman's team by Thug informants. In addition, Dash treats the extensive and thorough documentation that Sleeman made. Dash rejects the colonial emphasis on the religious motivation for robbing, but instead asserts that monetary gain was the main motivation for Thuggee and that men sometimes became Thugs due to extreme poverty. He further asserts that the Thugs were highly superstitious and that they worshipped the Hindu goddess Kali, but that their faith was not very different from their contemporary non-Thugs. He admits, though, that the Thugs had certain group-specific superstitions and rituals.[6]
The story of Thuggee was popularised by books such as Philip Meadows Taylor's novel Confessions of a Thug, 1839, leading to the word "thug" entering the English language. Ameer Ali, the protagonist of Confessions of a Thug was said to be based on a real Thug called Syeed Amir Ali.
The words "Thuggee" and "Thug" should properly be pronounced "Toog-gee" and "Toog", with the "t" and the "h" separate as in "hothouse", and were so pronounced before they became popular in their present English sense of "gangster".[18]

Reviews of Magnolia Place Health Care
I am a friend or relative of resident
Extremely incompetent nursing staff. Forget using the transport van to take men less than a mile to a barber shop for dignity and outing, instead they prefer to transport four or five residents across state lines to gamble at casinos, but basic needs cannot be met. Was still asked after 6 months whether or not my relative had dentures. Which he did. Administrator not able to resolve issues.
I am a friend or relative of a resident
Magnlia Place seems to be a very nice place for people with extensive nursing needs. The staff was VERY friendly and helpful. Other than a private assisted living facility, this is the only one I have EVER been in that did not reek of urine and other body odors. The facilities and amenities are also nice with a couple of family rooms for visitation instead of just sitting in the resident's bedroom to visit. Their cafeteria becomes a gameroom and social room when it is not mealtime. Overall a place I would not mind living in if I had such a need.

This was the first time in nine years that the Bolshoi Ballet had performed in New York, and rather than bring any of Alexei Ratmansky's contemporary ballets, which helped catapult the company into the 21st century—under Ratmansky's direction, the Critics' Circle named the Bolshoi "Best Foreign Company" in 2005 and 2007—they brought a Soviet-era production of Swan Lake, along with Don Quixote and Spartacus. But the opening night of Swan Lake, on July 15 at Lincoln Center, had a particular draw, for two reasons.
First, the company has been lately riddled with scandal, including an acid attack in January 2013 that left the company's director, Sergei Filin, battling for his sight. In the aftermath, the company has been reeling from speculation about casting politics and corruption. Second, David Hallberg, the first-ever American star to permanently join the Bolshoi, was cast as Prince Siegfried, and his performance felt like a homecoming. On opening night, the full house, including throngs of Russian balletomanes, was predisposed to love Yuri Grigorovich's two-act version of Swan Lake, and the Bolshoi did not disappoint.
The original production of Swan Lake, choreographed by Julius Reisinger, was first performed in the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow in 1877. It was a flop. But it was reworked several times, and this 1969 version, revised by Yuri Grigorovich in 2001, incorporates choreography from the Marius Petipa/Lev Ivanov 1895 version as well as elements of Alexander Gorsky's 1911 adaptation.
The libretto, based on German and Russian folklore, tells the story of Princess Odette, who is transformed into a swan by Rothbart (in this production, referred to as Evil Genius), and only true love can break the spell. On Prince Siegfried's 21st birthday, his mother asks that he select a bride, but he isn't interested in any of the prospects. He then finds himself in the forest, where he falls in love with the Swan Queen, Odette.
In other productions, the character of Siegfried enters the forest with a hunting party, with bow and arrow drawn. In this staging, Siegfried wanders alone and bowless, suggesting a more isolated and brooding character. What feels unusual about Grigorovich's libretto is that it is from the masculine perspective rather than Odette's: Here, Siegfried and Odette dance a comparable amount, but that's not the case in most productions of Swan Lake. And while Odette and her antithesis Odile are both danced by one ballerina, the masculine struggle between good and evil is divided between two dancers, Prince Siegfried and Rothbart (danced by Vladislav Lantratov). While in most productions Rothbart is more of a character role, here the choreography made it an extremely demanding, acrobatic role. Rothbart often chases Siegfried around the stage, mimicking his movements like a shadow.
The Bolshoi Orchestra, conducted by Pavel Sorokin, was astonishingly precise and made Tchaikovsky's score come alive in a way I had never heard before. The sets consisted of painted scrims and backdrops, appearing particularly dinky behind such grand dancers. (There was one awkwardly placed scrim that plopped down in the center of the action on numerous occasions, often in the middle of a musical phrase, and its appearance became almost comical.
In most productions of Swan Lake, the emphasis is placed on the versatility and strength of the ballerina, but the corps de ballet also dances constantly and in multiple roles, often enduring many quick costume changes. A single corps dancer might dance in the court scene, or as part of the divertissement, then reappear as a white swan, and then go back to court—only to change again into a black swan. The Bolshoi corps de ballet was flawless in its placement: Each movement, no matter how small, was considered and given meaning. Their precise formations were enviably military and certainly put American companies to shame. Of course, the upper body is stylized differently than in Western ballet: The women lean forward slightly and look under their raised arms, and they cock their head when their arms are low.
In the opening court scene, David Hallberg was convincing as royalty. It was a wonderful showcase for his virtuosic technique, his long, lean line, and his pure, clean movement. As he executed difficult jump sequences, his hips and sternum remained fixed, giving the audience a pleasing sense of calmness. Hallberg is a nuanced actor, and you could follow the story just by watching him from the neck up. His ease and humility might not arouse the kind of enthusiasm from the audience that a dancer with more bravura or charisma would, but he is more subtle and restrained than some of his Russian colleagues.
That said, without the energy of Igor Tsvirko, who brought genuine joy to the role of the Fool, Anna Tikhomirova (the only female dancer on stage with any real chutzpah) as the Spanish Bride, or the commanding presence of Vladislav Lantratov's Rothbart, the production might have felt a little stiff. These dancers brought much-needed fire to the stage while the rest of the cast, though technically impeccable, bordered on grim at times.
Svetlana Zakharova, a seasoned principal who rose through the ranks of the Mariinsky Ballet (formerly the Kirov) before joining the Bolshoi, selected Hallberg to partner her in The Sleeping Beauty soon after his arrival in Moscow in 2011. The two are well-matched, and it's easy to see why they are so frequently paired: Both Zakharova and Hallberg are virtuosic technicians with bulbous arches, ceiling-high extensions, and classical lines. But while Hallberg is naturally emotive and expressive, Zakharova sometimes comes off as cold. She may, however, be the most technically proficient dancer ever to grace the David H. Koch Theater stage, and technical mastery is an art form in itself.
Zakharova's Swan Queen is guarded, as if threatened by the presence of an intruder, and she conveyed this through her icy movement quality and tense body rather than by her acting chops. During the pas de deux, Siegfried gradually tames Odette, and as the dance progresses, she goes from folded limbs to exposed throat. She opens herself to him, and then literally falls backwards into his arms as if gaining his trust. At the conclusion of their first pas de deux, the ballerina beats her foot during the violin trills, possibly representing the beating of Odette's heart. It is never clear if Odette actually loves Siegfried or is just desperate to break Rothbart's spell and return to her human form.
While some ballerinas humanize Odette, others interpret the role as bird-like. In the first act, Zakharova appeared not as a bird, or a human, but as a dancer. She is, in fact, best watched from a distance, because it is her movements rather than her facial expressions that are thrilling. And surprisingly, it was not Zakharova's transformation from the guarded Odette to the seductive prowess of Odile that was impressive; it was her range within the single role of Odette that made me fall for her as an artist. Her second-act Swan Queen showed the soft fragility the role is known for, and she brought more humanity to Odette than she did in the first act. Although she doesn't have the softness of certain predecessors (Maya Plisetskaya, Galina Ulanova) that made them so emotionally accessible, the effect here was heartbreaking.
In this version, Siegfried's mistake in swearing his love to Odile ultimately results in Odette's death. This is different from Soviet-era productions, which had more optimistic conclusions. Here, the ending fell a little flat as Odette collapsed at Rothbart's feet and that silly scrim made its final appearance while a forlorn Siegfried looked out to the audience, breaking the illusion of the fourth wall. It was "psychological" in tone, and the effect was a little anticlimactic.
Still, the audience offered a standing ovation, and the company took several well-deserved curtain calls. And while the staging may have felt somewhat outdated, it seemed appropriate for the company that originated the most beloved ballet of all to trump all previous productions in virtuosic ability and technical prowess.

Brothers Enrico and Robert Malta own over a dozen midrange restaurants in Manhattan, most of them clustered in the theater district. They've expanded their holdings with Bocca di Bacco, a collaboration with chef Kristen Sollenne. Bocca calls itself a wine bar, which explains the 40 selections by the glass, the mixed olives, the meat and cheese plates, and the little nibbles like rice balls and marinated sardines. But its identity as a full-fledged, neighborhood-friendly Italian restaurant is substantiated with pastas like chestnut lasagnette with chickpeas and sausage, and entrées like lamb shank.
