US to Leave 1,000 Combat Troops Along Syria's Border
Jordan 'Exercise' Ended, But Troops to Stay There
The "Eager Lion" military exercise in Jordan was already used as a shoehorn to get US Patriot missile batteries and warplanes into the country, but with the drill finally coming to an end, the US dropped the revelation that 700 combat troops, supposedly sent there just for the two weeks, aren't leaving either.
Instead, President Obama has announced that those 700 troops are just going to stay in Jordan, along with the about 300 that were already there, right along the Syrian border, until some unspecified future date when the "security situation will allow for their departure." This means an open-ended deployment of 1,000 troops overall to the cusp of a warzone.
The whole "Eager Lion" drill centered around the notion of attacking Syria, and keeping the US combat troops who participated in that drill will only underscore that fact, and the prospect that they may march in at any moment.
That the whole drill pretext was centered around the Obama Administration's announcement that they intend to directly arm Syria's rebels and officials are constantly raising the prospect of direct intervention.

The present's so bright, you ought to wear (shutter) shades
By Samantha Anne Carrillo [ Wed Oct 24 2012 12:55 PM ]
If y'all read my intro column, Dancing About Pueblo Revival Style Architecture, you already know I dig making podcasts of Nuevo Mexicano music for my blog, Things in Light. There's some terrific work being created by local musicians and I'm psyched to share it with Alibi readers. The new TiL podcast, Shutter Mix, includes tracks from the 2011 solo women's Gatas y Vatas fest compilation and tunes by Shiprock post-punk duo Discotays and Fort Wingate-based composer Ryan Dennison, among others. Stream it below or see the original blog post for a full track list.

I am using mootools 1.2 in a simple page. There's a div that displays a form (call it formdiv) that gets submitted via JS/ajax. The ajax request returns some data "confirmation message".
However, the formdiv div starts out maybe 500px high to accomodate the form elements. When the ajax request returns a variable-length return data ("confirmed for submission!") the div stays 500px high, leaving a lot of extra space.
My question is, is there a way to snap the div back to fit the new content after updating the content using innerHTML?
EDITED: to add that the data returned by the Ajax call could be variable length-- so I can't assume it'll be a certain height and then reset the div to that height.

If you are looking for a fun, affordable, laid-back spot to eat lunch while taking a break from the usual burgers and fries, The North Fork Shack is your place to be. Located on Country Road 48 in Southold, this new eatery was open just a couple of months ago by owners, Sami Sabil and Ryan Flatley. The idea for The North Fork Shack was born out of their successful catering business, Creative Courses Catering. Their catering company does it all: luncheons, sunset weddings, cocktail parties, benefits for local charities, and more. The company was founded about eight years ago when they both started at the North Fork Table & Inn.
The Shack's menu focuses on local seafood bites including clam chowder, ceviches, fish sandwiches, tacos, and tostadas. During my visit, I had the pleasure of trying several of their popular dishes, and sat down with Sabil to discuss the menu and what to expect from The North Fork Shack this summer. View Post

China's trade growth slumped last month as the world's second-largest economy felt the impact of economic turmoil in its most important trading partners in Europe and the US.
Exports increased by their slowest pace in seven months in September, expanding 17 per cent from a year earlier to just under $170bn, compared with a nearly 25 per cent increase in August, according to customs data released on Thursday.
"China's export growth is feeling the chill from the intensifying crisis and weakening demand from the west," Qu Hongbin, an economist at HSBC, said.
Imports rose 21 per cent from a year earlier to $155bn, slower than a 30.2 per cent rise in August.
China is the world's largest goods exporter and its trade fluctuations often provide clues to the health of the global economy.
Trade with crisis-hit Europe, China's single biggest partner, showed the most obvious slowdown last month, with exports to the region growing by just 9.8 per cent from a year earlier, compared with 22 per cent growth in August.
Some analysts said Chinese officials could use the monthly contraction to fend off attacks from US politicians, who have introduced legislation to pressure Beijing to raise the value of its tightly managed currency. But the argument is unlikely to convince members of the US Congress since the overall trade surplus for the third quarter hit $64bn, compared with $47bn in the second quarter of this year.
On Tuesday, the US Senate approved a bill that that could impose tariffs on imports from countries that deliberately keep their currencies undervalued, a charge that is frequently levelled at China. The legislation is unlikely to pass through the US House of Representatives but it has provoked a strong response from China.
Beijing describes it as trade protectionism, condemning the bill as a serious violation of World Trade Organisation rules and a "ticking time-bomb" that could ignite a trade war.
Thursday's customs data also showed that trade slowed between China and the US in September. Its trade surplus, a serious point of contention with big trade partners, particularly the US, came in lower than expected at $14.5bn in September, compared with $17.8bn in August and $31.5bn in July.
On a monthly basis, the volume of exports to Europe in dollar terms also fell by 7.6 per cent in September from a month earlier, a potentially worrying sign as Chinese export volumes usually pick up in the months leading up to the Christmas shopping season.
China's economy is slowing thanks to government attempts to rein in credit and cool a construction boom. Most economists expect China is on track for a "soft landing" and annual gross domestic product growth for the third quarter is expected to come in above 9 per cent when it is released next week.
"While China's trade sector is expected to slow down further in the coming months, concerns of a hard landing in China are still unwarranted," HSBC's Mr Qu said.

"Look, Ma! I'm homeless"
posted by Zach Patton Remember a couple months ago when those members of Congress took the "Food Stamp Challenge," trying to eat on ...
Remember a couple months ago when those members of Congress took the "Food Stamp Challenge," trying to eat on only $21 a week? Even Oregon Gov. Ted Kulongoski and his wife joined in.
Now, the four mayoral candidates in Nashville have each accepted a challenge to be homeless for a night.
One man tried in vain to sleep on a park bench. Two others swallowed their pride as they went into restaurants, broke but hungry. With no bathroom available, another one used the woods....
The National Coalition for the Homeless has been organizing similar experiences for college students and others for the past 25 years. But the group's executive director, Michael Stoops, said it was the first time political candidates agreed to take part.
Maybe I'm too cynical, but all these mile-in-someone-else's-shoes stunts seem really cheap to me -- maybe even offensive.
Like, it's great that you want some perspective on poverty and everything. But playing homeless for one night or pretending to shop on food stamps while you hold up a box of Hamburger Helper and mug for the press just strikes me as gross. Especially when, at the end of whatever predetermined period of time, you go back to your regular menu or your comfy bed. It all just seems so pedantic, so phony.
I mean, wouldn't the poor be better served by your coming up with an anti-poverty plan of some sort, rather than spending a night on a park bench?

Anurag Kashyap's 'Raman Raghav 2.0' is a letdown. Reason? Despite
Kashyap's efforts & Nawazuddin's brilliance, the film falters in in its
Writing department. The film lacks crispness & also gets monotonous.
'Raman Raghav 2.0' Synopsis: Set in present day Mumbai the story follows the life of a serial killer Ramanna who is inspired by an infamous serial killer from the 1960s, Raman Raghav. His strange obsession with Raghavan, a young cop keeps growing as he closely follows him without his knowledge and often creates situations where both of them come face to face.
'Raman Raghav 2.0' tries to narrate the story of a violent psychopath & a coked up cop. And while the film begins superbly, the narrative becomes monotonous after a while. The murders keep happening & the cop's troublesome personal life doesn't offer anything shocking enough. Kashyap & Vasan Bala's Writing is disappointing. Kashyap's Direction, on the other-hand, is suitably grim & dark. Cinematography is well-done, while the Editing needed to be sharper.
Performance-Wise: Nawazuddin is every bit of the violent psychopath he portrays. The actor ignites the screen, but how longer are we suppose to see this versatile talent portray craziness? I wish the industry offers Nawaz meatier roles, like say a Lunchbox? Vicky Kaushal doesn't match up-to his co-star's brilliance. He's alright. Debutant Sobhita Dhulipala looks seductive & delivers rather confidently. Amruta Subhash is remarkable as Nawaz's tormented sister, while Vipin Sharma steals the scene he appears in.
On the whole, 'Raman Raghav 2.0' is a misfire.
Jean-Marc Vallée's 'Demolition' isn't an easy film to watch & nor does
it want to be seen that way. This Dramatic-Dark-Comedy focuses on a
unsettled man & his unusual behavior, after a tragic incident occurs in
his life. But 'Demolition' isn't a film that you can shun away. This is
a Stunning Film about grief & the consequence of death.
'Demolition' Synopsis: A successful investment banker (Jake Gyllenhaal) struggles after losing his wife in a tragic car crash. With the help of a customer service rep (Naomi Watts) and her young son (Judah Lewis), he starts to rebuild, beginning with the demolition of the life he once knew.
'Demolition' will not appeal to all. And I strongly believe Director Jean-Marc Vallée is aware of this fact. Watching Davis, the protagonist, deal with grief in a rather unusual way, may be misinterpreted as crazy, obscene, but its not that. 'Demolition' examines Davis's grief, with a feeling of mental destruction & how you must break all that you have, to only build again. Its very metaphorical, very deep & hugely affecting. I was engrossed by Davis & how he slowly creates a new self.
Bryan Sipe's Screenplay is Brilliant. 'Demolition' isn't an easy film to write & choosing such a different treatment, requires a strong amount of commitment & belief. Sipe's Writing is compelling. Jean- Marc Vallée's Direction is superb. He has handled the film, with command. Yves Bélanger's Cinematography is visually rich, while Jay M. Glen's Editing is sharp. Art & Costume Design are top-notch.
Performance-Wise: Jake Gyllenhaal as Davis, delivers a transformative performance. Undoubtedly one of the finest actors to have ever graced the big-screen, Jake is absolutely terrific here, enacting the unsettled protagonist with enviable energy. Its a yet another winning performance from an actor who doesn't forget to surprise us. Naomi Watts is restrained, while Judah Lewis is confidence personified. The scenes between Jake & Judah, are great. Chris Cooper is masterful, yet again! As the heartbroken father, who later dismisses Davis for his unusual behavior, Cooper is a presence to reckon with. Heather Lind leaves a mark.
On the whole, 'Demolition' is a must watch, for those, who are willing to look at a story on grief, with a difference. Strongly Recommended!

After much hype, controversy & headlines, 'Udta Punjab' is finally out
& has been watched. And fortunately, this is a Well-Made Film, Directed
Honestly by Abhishek Chaubey. Also, the Performances are SUPERB by all.
Despite flaws, 'Udta Punjab' dares to tell a horrifying truth, without
sugarcoating! Commendable!
'Udta Punjab' revolves around the drug abuse in the affluent north Indian State of Punjab and how 4 four lives intervene, involving A Cop (Diljit Dosanjh), A Doctor (Kareena Kapoor Khan), a Bihari migrant (Alia Bhatt) & A Rockstar (Shahid Kapoor).
'Udta Punjab' gets into the grassroots of the doomed state & explores the journey's of its characters. You watch a naive girl sell drugs & later pay for it in a horrifying way. You watch a Rockstar fading due to his fatal addiction. You also watch the Cop's younger sibling succumb to drugs. 'Udta Punjab' is a relentless tale on the dark side of Punjab & how the drugs are ruining the state. If you thought Punjab on celluloid is all about Yash Chopra's clean green fields, well then, 'Udta Punjab' shows an all new side altogether.
However, 'Udta Punjab' doesn't soar entirely. The pacing is inconsistent, while the romantic-angle in the second-hour, doesn't work. Despite such intensity, watching the narrative shift (though only for a brief time) into shy romance, just doesn't fit in & appears forced. 'Udta Punjab' has a terrific first-hour (despite inconsistency of its pacing) where things get uglier & more affecting, but the second-hour is flawed. A better second-hour would've made this daring attempt, even deeper.
Sudip Sharma & Chaubey's Screenplay is great, but in parts. The Writing isn't as strong the subject it tackles & one certainly feels slightly underwhelmed by that. Nonetheless, The Writing has some genuine merit. The Dialogue are excellent & YES the Cuss Words add to the narrative massively. Chaubey's Direction is Honest. He directs 'Udta Punjab' without any inhibitions & presents a story, that's dark & also disturbing. Kudos to Chaubey for delivering his story with sincerity. Cinematography is perfect. Editing is sharp, but could've been tighter. Art & Costume Design are superb. Make-Up is well-done. Amit Trivedi's Score is Brilliant.
Now Coming To The Performances! Alia Bhatt steals the show & how! If you thought Highway was the actress at her finest, wait till you watch 'Udta Punjab'. As the tormented & drug-addicted Bihari migrant, Alia transforms into the part. Her Bihari dialect is flawless & the range of emotions she displays, are simply awe-inspiring. Its a Knockout Performance all the way!
Coming next in line is Shahid Kapoor, who ignites the screen with sheer madness. As the obnoxious Tommy Singh, Shahid is at his most zaniest, delivering a delightful turn, although a change of heart in his character (in the second-hour), isn't convincing enough. Nonetheless, Shahid Shines!
Diljit Dosanjh lends maturity as well as intensity as the honest & concerned cop, while Kareena Kapoor Khan is wonderfully restrained as the caring & lovable doctor. And although their romance doesn't leave an impact, both the actors lend weight to their parts.
A special mention for the Impeccable Satish Kaushik, who's astounding as Shahid's uncle/manager.
On the whole, 'Udta Punjab' is definitely worth a watch, despite some flaws. And it needs to be watched at the CINEMA. NOT anywhere else.
Based on the 2011 novel of the same name by Kevin Wilson, 'The Family
Fang' by Jason Bateman, is a wonder of a film. No kidding, this is a
sublime film, about family & the importance of parenthood. This One's A
Near-Perfect Comedy-Drama!
'The Family Fang' Synopsis: A brother and sister return to their family home in search of their world famous parents who have disappeared.
'The Family Fang' is a quietly devastating film, on how important it is to be a good parent, in order to raise their children sane. In here, the unsettled protagonists (Bateman, Nicole Kidman, in Pure Oscar Peak Form), are a victim of unusual parents (Christopher Walken & Maryann Plunkett, both brilliant). They are not your regular parents, they are attention seekers, who find Art in the Reality of Life. They put up gigs (not even one of which shows any signs of entertainment, but of rather fright) & they swear to live by it, in extreme measures. Its a devastating journey to see this family so distort, torn between love, commitment & art.
David Lindsay-Abaire's Adapted Screenplay is superior in all terms. 'The Family Fang' is essentially a comedy, with some dark, dramatic undertones. I was engrossed & heartbroken by the struggle of its scarred protagonist. 'The Family Fang' is about artistry gone too far & how a family is only a family, when you treat it like one. Bateman's Direction is Brilliant. He takes charge of the narrative & doesn't let you go. Take a bow, Mr.Batemen!
The Fangs aren't particularly normal, but nor is their journey. Don't Miss It!
Based on the memoir The Taliban Shuffle: Strange Days in Afghanistan
and Pakistan by Kim Barker, 'Whiskey Tango Foxtrot' is a mostly
entertaining War-Dramedy, that is anchored by a Stupendous Performance
by Tina Fey. The usually comedic actress, boasts range & class in her
first dramatic role (with comic touches, of course).
'Whiskey Tango Foxtrot' Synopsis: A journalist Kim Baker (Fey) recounts her wartime coverage in Afghanistan.
'Whiskey Tango Foxtrot' explores Baker's life-changing journey, with moments of fine comedy & dramatic undertones. Her journey wasn't an ordinary one, it had laughs, heartbreaks, violence & even betrayal. But Baker's journey is worth watching on celluloid, as its engaging for the most bit.
Robert Carlock's Adapted Screenplay is good, although the last act doesn't quite add up. Baker's Journey is exciting, but the culmination of this chapter of her life, doesn't come up as a whole. The Writing needed to be better, no doubt. Glenn Ficarra & John Requa's Direction is passable. Cinematography is superbly done. Editing is alright. Art & Costume Design are perfect.
Performance-Wise: Tina Fey is the life of 'Whiskey Tango Foxtrot'. She's in top-form & owns the show form start to end. Martin Freeman is first-rate, as always. Margot Robbie is stunning, both appearance & performance wise. Alfred Molina (with a Afghani accent), is a hoot. His scenes with Fey, are fun to watch. Billy Bob Thornton stands out. Christopher Abbott is very good.
On the whole, 'Whiskey Tango Foxtrot' is worth watching for Fey's Performance alone.
Billed as being based on a true story, '13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers
of Benghazi' is An Intense Film, that works on its hardcore nature &
deft direction by Michael Bay. Bay is in form after a long, long time &
'13 Hours' is a welcome return of the once inspiring filmmaker.
'13 Hours' follows six members of a security team who fight to defend the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya after waves of terrorist attacks on September 11, 2012.
'13 Hours' begins boringly, but gathers fantastic momentum as it progresses. Once the attacks begin & the heroes fight back, '13 Hours' turns into a gripping ride. I was involved in the narrative, when the violence erupted in tremendous speed. This is an unfortunate story on violence & loss, & Bay delivers it with a beating heart.
Chuck Hogan's Screenplay, based on Mitchell Zuckoff's 2014 book by the same name, takes time to gain power, but once it does, oh baby! Bay's Direction is well-done. Its good to see Bay focusing on restrained storytelling, rather than VFX Porn. Cinematography captures the gritty mood, with dexterity. Editing is sharp, although the film is a bit too long (144-minutes). Art & Costume Design are perfect. Action/War-Sequences are excellent. Make-Up is nicely done. Background Score merits a special mention.
Performance-Wise: John Krasinski is at his most compelling self. He takes charge here & remains the scene-stealer. James Badge Dale is first-rate. Max Martini is efficient. Dominic Fumusa does well. Others lend adequate support.
On the whole, '13 Hours' brings Bay back to form. Watch It!
'No Escape' is A Fair Watch, that despite some heavy violence, manages
to become something more than just a bloody mess. Its surprisingly
thrilling (in parts) & also well-acted.
'No Escape' Synopsis: In their new overseas home, an American family soon finds themselves caught in the middle of a coup, and they frantically look for a safe escape from an environment where foreigners are being immediately executed.
'No Escape' is about violence & the sheer courage of human survival, in the middle brutality. John Erick Dowdle & Drew Dowdle's Screenplay is heavy, but its got some really thrilling moments. The second-hour, in particular, has some notably engrossing moments. John Erick Dowdle's Direction, on the other-hand, is realistic. Cinematography is ably done, while the Editing is crisp at times. Action-Sequences are well executed, but too violent.
Performance-Wise: Owen Wilson is in good form. Enacting a rather serious role, Wilson stands on his own & convinces you in his tormenting journey. Same goes for Lake Bell, who's super here. Pierce Brosnan shines in a brief, yet dynamic role. Sterling Jerins & Claire Geare are very sincere.
On the whole, 'No Escape' is worth watching, despite its speed bumps.
A remake of 2013 South Korean movie Montage, 'Te3n' is a Well-Made
Thriller, but its not engrossing enough. Director Ribhu Dasgupta
succeeds in handing your attention, but only, in parts. The
Performances are good, though!
'Te3n' Synopsis: A grieving grandfather (Amitabh Bachchan) after losing his granddaughter, in a kidnapping case 8 years back & unable to find the culprit, teams up with police officer (Vidya Balan) and a cop turned priest (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) when a similar kidnapping occurs.
'Te3n' is a tale of loss, redemption & revenge. Its easy to sympathize with its aged protagonist & his never-ending quest to the find the culprit who took away his granddaughter from him, but a guilt-driven cop turned priest or a super cop for that matter, come across as cardboard characters. The mystery is nicely build up in the first-hour, although the sluggish pace does get bothersome. The second-hour unfolds on much speed, but as the final twist in the tale is revealed, the predictability wears you off. Frankly, the first-hour works, despite the problem of its pace, but the second-hour, despite fastness, lacks the bite.
The Screenplay engages, but in portions. The predictable second-hour spoils the fun. Ribhu Dasgupta's Direction is excellent. He has handled this thriller with skill. Cinematography Captures the essence of Kolkata, amazingly. 'Te3n' is nicely shot, no two options on that! Editing is alright, the pace in the first-hour is slow. Art & Costume Design are perfect. Music by Clinton Cerejo is good.
Performance-Wise: Amitabh Bachchan delivers a sincere performance as the grieving protagonist. Right from his body language, to his ever searching eyes, the legend remains true to his character. Nawazuddin Siddiqui & Vidya Balan's characters aren't strongly written, but the actors make them worth watching. Nawaz brings subtlety to his part, while Vidya (Strangely Billed in a Guest Appearance, though she's there almost throughout the film), plays it straight as the no nonsense cop. Sabyasachi Chakrabarty is terrific, as always. Others lend fair support.
On the whole, 'Te3n' isn't engrossing enough, nonetheless, it has some merit to earn itself a viewing.
The sequel to the solid The Conjuring, James Wan's 'The Conjuring 2' is
A Terrifying Sequel, that almost scores as much as its legendary
predecessor in terms of scares & atmosphere. The Sequel is unsettling,
spooky & absolutely engaging, turning out to be a much satisfying
'The Conjuring 2' Synopsis: Lorraine and Ed Warren travel to north London to help a single mother raising four children alone in a house plagued by malicious spirits.
'The Conjuring 2' is a compelling horror ride, that arrests your attention & scares the daylights out of you. I found myself terrified at my seat, almost shutting my eyes & ears whenever a sound or visual offered something ghostly. I was particularly terrified in a superbly done sequence, involving a painting & a nun. Believe me, I'm never looking at a nun in the same manner!
Wan, Chad Hayes, Carey Hayes & David Leslie Johnson's Screenplay (supposedly based on a true-story) is hauntingly scary. 'The Conjuring 2' is almost at par with its predecessor, as the scares here, are truly well-done. The Writing superbly warms up in its first-hour & turns into a ride in the second-hour, only to culminate into a feast of a climax. Wan's Direction is brilliant. He creates an unsettling, eerie atmosphere, with his superior storytelling. Don Burgess's Cinematography captures the misty filled London, as well as all the scares & the human-drama, with flourish. Kirk M. Morri's Editing is crisp. Art & Costume Design are Fantastic. Joseph Bishara's is perfect.
Performance-Wise: Patrick Wilson & Vera Farmiga return as paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren & they deliver remarkably. Its the strength of their performances that push 'The Conjuring 2' to further success. Frances O'Connor as the mother under torment, is fabulous. Madison Wolfe as the child under possession, is excellent. The kid blends sympathy with pure terror, without ever breaking out of character. Simon McBurney is first-rate.
On the whole, 'The Conjuring 2' is A Winner. Go, Get Spooked!
A sequel to the 1990 comedy film Kindergarten Cop starring Arnold
Schwarzenegger, 'Kindergarten Cop 2' is a surprising sequel by all
means. I mean, its been over 26 years since the first one released. A
sequel, that too without Arnie being there, is risk.
But this is a direct-to-DVD film & to its luck, Dolph Lundgren is a fine new hero. He shines in the Cute Sequel!
'Kindergarten Cop 2' Synopsis: Assigned to recover sensitive stolen data, a gruff FBI agent goes undercover as a kindergarten teacher, but the school's liberal, politically correct environment is more than he bargained for.
'Kindergarten Cop 2' is simple film, that doesn't aim for any form of greatness. And hence, the narrative works. No, some of the jokes are silly & even some of the sub-plots, aren't sharp. But its Dolph's performance that makes most of it work. He's game here & gleefully plays the big-guy with a soft heart. If not for him, maybe this sequel would've fallen flat on its face.
Final Word? 'Kindergarten Cop 2' is fair watch.

La Bohème, ENO
ENO clearly expect high returns from Jonathan Miller's La Bohème.
The Princeton Festival presents one opera annually, amidst other events. Its offerings usually alternate annually between 20th century and earlier operas. This year the Festival presented Benjamin Britten's Peter Grimes, now a classic work, in a very effective and moving production.
If you like your Ariadne on Naxos productions as playful as a box of puppies, then Opera Theatre of Saint Louis is the address for you.
Opera Theatre of Saint Louis took forty years before attempting Verdi's Macbeth but judging by the excellence of the current production, it was well worth the wait.
On June 16, 2016, Los Angeles Opera with Beth Morrison Projects presented the world premiere of Pulitzer Prize-winning composer David Lang's Anatomy Theater at the Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater (REDCAT).
In its compact forty-year history, the ambitious Opera Theatre of Saint Louis has just triumphantly presented its twenty-fifth world premiere with Shalimar the Clown.
The sharp angles and oddly tilting perspectives of Charles Edwards' set for David Alden's production of Jenůfa at ENO suggest a community resting precariously on the security and certainty of its customs, soon to slide from this precipice into social and moral anarchy.
Last week an audience of 50 assembled in the kitchen of a luxurious West Village townhouse for a performance of Marriage of Figaro.
In a recent article in BBC Music Magazine tenor James Gilchrist reflected on the reason why early-nineteenth-century England produced no corpus of art song to match the German lieder of Schumann, Schubert and others, despite the great flowering of English Romantic poetry during this period.
With the New York Premiere of Florencia en el Amazonas, the New York City Opera Steps Out of the Shadows of the Past
Opportunities to see Idomeneo are not so frequent as they might be, certainly not so frequent as they should be.
Not merely Don Carlo, but the five-act Don Carlo in the 1886 Modena version! The welcomed esotericism of San Francisco Opera's extraordinary spring season.
The early summer San Francisco Opera season has the feel of a classy festival. There is an introduction of Spanish director Calixto Bieito to American audiences, a five-act Don Carlo and two awaited, inevitable role debuts, Karita Mattila as Kostelnička and Malin Bystrom as Janacek's Jenůfa.
Now that the curtain has long fallen on the third and last performance of the Ring cycle at the Washington National Opera (WNO), it is safe to say that the long-anticipated production has been an unqualified success for the company, director Francesca Zambello, and conductor Philippe Auguin.
Most of the attention during this revival of Daniele Abbado's 2013 production of Nabucco has been directed at Plácido Domingo's reprise of the title role, with the critical reception somewhat mixed.
Four years ago, almost to the day (13th to 12th), I saw Melly Still's production of The Cunning Little Vixen during its first Glyndebourne run. I found myself surprised how much more warmly I responded to it this time.
This recital celebrated both the work of the Park Lane Group, which has been supporting the careers of outstanding young artists for 60 years, and the 90th birthday of Joseph Horovitz, who was born in Vienna in 1926 and emigrated to England aged 12.
Headed by General Director Luana DeVol, a world-renowned dramatic soprano, Opera Las Vegas is a relatively new company that presents opera with first-rate casts at the University of Las Vegas's Judy Bayley Theater. In 2014 they presented Rossini's The Barber of Seville and in 2015, Puccini's Madama Butterfly. This year they offered a blazing rendition of Georges Bizet's Carmen.
Ever since a friend was reported as having said he would like something in return for modern-dress Shakespeare (how quaint that term seems now, as if anyone would bat an eyelid!), namely an Elizabethan-dress staging of Look Back in Anger, I have been curious about the possibilities of 'down-dating', as I suppose we might call it. Rarely, if ever, do we see it, though.
Leading a very muscular Dutch Radio Philharmonic, Principal Conductor Markus Stenz brilliantly delivered Alban Berg's Wozzeck with a superb Florian Boesch in the lead and a mesmerising Asmik Grigorian as Marie his wife.
There can't be that many operas that start with an extended solo for double bass. At Holland Park, the eerie, angular melody for lone bass player which opens Pietro Mascagni's Iris immediately unsettled the relaxed mood of the summer evening.
ENO clearly expect high returns from Jonathan Miller's La Bohème.
Premièred just over a year ago and here receiving its first 'revival', the management are surely justified in their faith that it will match the enduring successes of his perennial Mikado (which will make yet another appearance in spring 2010) and Rigoletto: this Bohème is an apt tale of poverty and paucity to fill the coffers in austere times. For, while Miller's vision certainly doesn't indulge in sentimentalism — his bohemians are a pretty solipsistic bunch — he and his ingenious designer, Isabella Bywater, present us with an ocular feast. Updating the action to 1930s Paris, they have drawn copiously on the visual records of the period — the sepia-tinted photographs of Cartier-Brassaï and Kertész, the cinematography of film noir — to powerfully recreate the zeitgeist of a Depression-era Europe hedonistically living for today in the face of an uncertain or bleak future.
Bywater's inspired designs are superbly detailed and naturalistic. Within the monochrome greys of city life, contrasts and counter-currents are pointed: the lofty atelier, with assorted clutter, perches above an empty café; Mimi's humble rooms lie to the right of twisting staircase; the glimpsed warmth of a café interior poignantly emphasises the literal and figurative chill of the wintry square where Mimi and Rodolfo play out their tragedy. The Act 1 set splits and spins artfully, revealing first a street scene and then twisting back to display the exterior and pavement tables of Café Momus — a scene of sparkling yet superficial vivacity, splashes of colour briefly dismissingly the steely grey. Later, another rotation reveals an employment office, a reminder of reality; a further revolution takes us back to the garret room. The cinematic continuity is effortlessly achieved — a neat realisation of Puccini's verismo (one is reminded that the first production was screened by Sky Arts, different Sky channels simultaneously relaying the events on stage and the backstage action a TV first for ENO).
Mairead Buicke as Musetta
Miller uses the spaces well: in the early acts, many a riposte is shouted from the Bohemians' bathroom, warnings cry out from the stair-well, a marching band sweeps across the stage at the Act 2 curtain call, creating a sense of space and air which contrasts with the claustrophobic death room of the final scene. Jean Kalman's lighting is subtle and thoughtful, no more so than when reflections from lowered windows of the garret add fragile glitter and light to the somewhat desperate Christmas festivities of the Café Momus revellers.
Miller is ever alert to the impact of small gestures and details: shutters are quietly closed as someone leaves the room, a lovers' argument is glimpsed through an upstairs window. But, despite this attention to detail — aided perhaps by the sympathetic spontaneity of the performers themselves — this is not an overly fussy production. Miller's chief concern seems to be to tell a simple story in a straightforward way, and he succeeds but this very simplicity does give rise to some difficulties.
Part of the problem is that the staging often raises the characters aloft, or pitches them afar. Thus, it's difficult to establish who they really are — what they feel, if anything. A seemingly heartless bunch, they behave foolishly and suffer for their follies, but do we care? The first meeting of Rodolfo and Mimi is mutually contrived, and because their faces are essentially hidden from view, it's hard to believe in their passion, or to be convinced that it would last more than one night! The orchestra may speak to us of romance, but our eyes witness a mercantile exchange, especially as Mimi begs continually for new gloves, a necklace The result is a drama with fewer tragic pulses than the average TV soap — there should be scarcely a dry eye in the house at the close, but any tears were surely the product of the superlatively tender violin accompaniment to Mimi's demise rather than regret for her passing?
Gwyn Hughes Jones as Rodolfo, George von Bergen as Schaunard, Roland Wood as Marcello and Pauls Putninš as Colline
That's not to say that the cast don't put on a good show. Not least, we are introduced to Elizabeth Llewellyn, making her company debut as Mimi. A graduate of ENO Opera Works — a training opportunity for talented pre-professional singers who demonstrate potential, and designed specifically for those who come to the profession via unconventional routes — her warm, generous voice easily reached the rafters of the Coliseum, and was much appreciated by the audience. However, while this is an opera which always requires the audience to suspend their disbelief, it was hard to be persuaded that one of such remarkable vocal power was on the verge of consumption-afflicted demise a little more balance between affecting power and vulnerability would have been welcome.
Perhaps the problem is Miller's conception of the role, for this Mimi is a consumerist flirt who at times seems to have less integrity than Mairead Buicke's Musetta. Buicke, sporting a neat bob and modish apparel, has great stage presence and relished the theatricality of the role; she had no problem with the virtuosic demands of the part, although she does occasionally sound piercing or shrill. Gywn Hughes-Jones' Rodolfo is a rather self-pitying sniveller, afraid of his emotions, insecure in his relationships. Challenged, as were the entire cast, to project above an enthusiastic orchestral fabric, often from the far reaches of the stage, Hughes-Jones was strong-toned and confident, but had a tendency to bellow and to come at notes from the side or below.
The Bohemians' banter and bickering was humorously directed, with four of the first cast returning to their original roles. Roland Wood's Marcello is vocally a little light-weight, but his diction was clear and his delivery elegant; the spitefulness of his repartee with Musetta added a surprising and effective frisson. George von Bergen and Paul Putninš were charming enough but made little dramatic impact. More arresting was Simon Butteris, whose amusingly lecherous Benoit is a perfectly conceived caricature. Both he and Richard Angas delivered their lines clearly and directly.
Stephen Lord encouraged the ENO orchestra to produce a rich palette of swelling Puccinian rhetoric, injecting some passion into this rather cold-hearted concept. But, this is 'easy-listening' and 'comfort-viewing' — indeed, in style and substance, there's not much to choose between these Bohemians and another set of 'miserables' elsewhere in the West End. Direct, unpretentious and unsentimental, Jonathan Miller has given ENO another sure-fire winner.

Brendan Rodgers believes Luis Suarez remains as indispensable as ever to Liverpool, despite his recent barren spell in front of goal.
Suarez is the Premier League's top scorer this season with 23 goals in just 22 appearances, but has not found the net in his last four top-flight outings.
The Uruguayan last scored in Liverpool's 4-0 Merseyside derby victory over Everton on January 28, but the Anfield outfit have still taken 10 points from their four fixtures since then - scoring 13 times in the process.
Daniel Sturridge has taken on the title challengers' main goalscoring duties, finding the net five times in those games as part of a run of scoring in eight consecutive Premier League appearances.
However, manager Rodgers has insisted Suarez remains hugely important to his side, adding that their success without his goals is indicative of Liverpool's development as a team.
"There was a spotlight on him this year and last year and that was because of his goals, but I think it shows we are about the collective," said the Northern Irishman.
"Of the last 33 goals we have scored, he has got four. That really shows we are a team, but that doesn't diminish his influence on our team.
"Nearly 50 per cent of the goals we score either come from him or are assisted by him. It shows you the influence he has (and) it is also a great pointer to what he is.
"People maybe looked at him and thought that he plays for himself but he has been a remarkable team player for us."

Hotels in Himchal Pradesh,India
Hey Guys
Report Abuse
I can help you with India.
Himachal Pradesh, there are many categories of hotels, you can choose from. You need to specify your budget and dates of visit (I mean time of the year). Himachal Pradesh is a holiday destination during summer time even for Indians, hence it is little expensive in summers.
Please specify within Himachal Pradesh where you want to visit and what is your budget and then I can suggest you.

Ok The Judges Court in Pragpur. Wonderful place next to the village of Pragpur. As far as you can get from a "chain " hotel. You may well be the only Westerner there.
Clarkes in Shimla. Wonderful old "raj" era hotel. The first hotel owned by Mr Oberoi, although no longer part of the Oberoi Chain.
McLeod Ganj. Stayed at Chonor House. It was ok but i would probablly try a homestay next time.
Check prices. All three may be more than 100/night now, though they werent in June 2919

Steve, Himachal Pradesh is a state in Northern India covering over 21,495 sq miles.

The first fourteen years of child's life, which form a crucial basis for development, require nutritional requirements which are markedly different from the nutrition requirements of an adult. The book also attempts to unravel for the readers the dilemma of making healthy food choices, especially as careful consideration to intake of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals are to be taken into account. Analyzing contemporary food trends and lifestyles habits too, the book delineates the science that which is involved in interpreting the relationship of food to the functioning of life processes in children, with due regard to both their general, as well as specific bodily needs. less

Topic: Butterfly Gardens, Poisonous Plants
Title: How toxic are milkweed (Asclepias spp.)?
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:We are considering a monarch waystation for our local elementary and are concerned about milkweed toxicity. Would it be safe to plant it in reach of children?
The Poisonous Plants of North Carolina database says that all parts of Asclepias species are poisonous, but are "Toxic only if large quantities are eaten." The Toxic Plant Database of Purdue University Veterinary School agrees with this assessment. Moreover, the plants are generally unpalatable. Grazing animals don't readily eat them unless they are confined in a pasture with large numbers of plants or the plants have been included in hay given to them. The compounds that are toxic in the milkweeds are cardiac glycosides. The monarch larvae eating the plants sequester these toxins in their exoskeletons where they remain even after they metamorphose into butterflies. Not only do they make the butterflies taste bad, but the glycosides have an emetic effect that causes a predator, such as a bird, to vomit. Predators apparently remember and associate the butterflies with the unpleasant taste and learn to avoid eating the monarch.
According to the Botanical Dermatology Database, several species of the family [e.g., Asclepias viridis (Green antelopehorn)] can cause dermatitis from the milky sap so you should probably protect the plants to keep them from being broken and exuding the sap.
Since milkweeds are unpalatable and they don't contain attractive fruits that might tempt the children to eat them, I don't think that you should be overly concerned about including them in your butterfly garden.
