Critic's Notebook: The Right to Perform, the Right to Compose; Loss of 'Peony' and Players
By JAMES R. OESTREICH
Published: July 7, 1998
With much of Tibetan culture put at risk by actions of the Chinese Government, it may seem petty and impertinent to fret about the fate of Chinese opera; even more, about one particular corner of it. But Chinese opera, which has long been the central manifestation of the performing arts in China, deftly combining music, drama, poetry, dance, design and acrobatics, is waning. And Kunqu opera, the revered style that began in Kunshan, near Shanghai, in the 14th century and gave birth to so many later varieties, including the dominant Peking opera, appears to be dying. Really dying, not just wallowing in confusion, as so much of Western classical music is doing.
That sober reality was hard to credit for a recent visitor to Shanghai, seeing the remarkable talent, energy, imagination and love being lavished on rehearsals for the ground-breaking production of the Kunqu classic ''The Peony Pavilion'' that was to have formed the crown jewel of the Lincoln Center Festival, which opens this evening. As Chen Shi-Zheng, the gifted American director now at the center of a storm, put the mostly young performers of the Shanghai Kunqu Opera Company through their paces, the gorgeous costumes arrived bit by bit, handmade in classic fashion by elderly seamstresses in nearby Suzhou, the site of a Kunqu museum. Despite the dinginess of the surroundings, on the fifth floor of a municipal building in the old French quarter of Shanghai, the process seemed one of growth and vitality.
But it is suddenly easier to comprehend the dire predictions now that the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Culture has at the last minute denied the company permission to travel to New York. And it seems clear that the final, fatal blows to Kunqu are being delivered by the very people who proclaim themselves its protectors.
''This is a precious piece of Chinese culture,'' Ma Bomin, the director of the bureau, rightly says of ''The Peony Pavilion,'' written by Tang Xianzu in 1598 and considered one of the great masterpieces of Chinese literature. Yet that epic drama lay mostly unperformed for centuries, typically represented by an occasional presentation of 1 or 2 of the most famous of its 55 scenes.
The impetus for the Lincoln Center production, which was to have presented the work at its full 20-hour length, seemingly for the first time in at least three centuries, came not from China but from an American, John Rockwell, when he was the director of the Lincoln Center Festival. Mr. Rockwell, who is now the editor of the Arts and Leisure section of The New York Times, is expert in Wagnerian opera, and his curiosity about ''The Peony Pavilion'' led him to conceive the ''Ming Ring,'' as he called it: a presentation of the complete work in six parts, over six nights or three days. He was also fascinated by the possibility of applying Western methods of early-music research and notions of ''authentic'' interpretation to this repertory, and he enlisted Mr. Chen, who has lived in New York since he left his native China in 1987.
Here, whatever its origins, was a prime opportunity to inject new life into Kunqu by giving it unprecedented international exposure. The production was to be showcased not only in New York but also at festivals in Paris, Sydney and Hong Kong, and probably released on audio and video. And this at a time when another version of ''The Peony Pavilion,'' directed by Peter Sellars in a truncated and Westernized form, is traveling the globe.
The Objections To Changing a Work
Now Mr. Chen's production has been derailed by Ms. Ma, who deemed it unworthy to represent Kunqu tradition and, significantly, modern China to the world. No matter that the largely oral tradition has itself strayed far from whatever Kunqu may originally have been. It is as if someone had been able to decree early in this century that Handel's ''Messiah'' should be performed only as it had emerged from Victorian England, with bloated chorus and orchestra and perhaps even a few of Thomas Beecham's bells and whistles.
Then, too, one specific at issue was the brief appearance of a prop, a chamber pot, which was alleged to make China appear backward. Yet as Mr. Chen points out, during the Song dynasty, in which the opera is set, or even the Ming, in which it was written, a chamber pot would have been anything but backward.
This was one of four scenes the bureau took issue with in a recent preview. In another, Mr. Chen was accused of injecting superstition by staging a funeral march for the heroine and burning effigies, in line with Chinese folk tradition. In the two other scenes, the material objected to -- the ''pornography'' of the scene in which Sister Stone tells why, anatomically, she could only be a virgin, and the mocking treatment of a drunken Tartar general -- came directly from the classic text.
After Mr. Chen expressed a willingness to make adjustments, the bureau's censors took the production back into rehearsal and demanded changes in six more scenes. Even then, Mr. Chen said on Friday on his return to New York, ''if that would get approval for the performers to leave, I would have done it.'' But when Ms. Ma walked out on the rehearsal she attended, it became apparent that no amount of compromise would suffice to liberate the production.

text: Just a thought... fishing. Tossing a line into a pond to try and catch some fish. When you catch a fish, you start moving forward a little and to pull it in you have to move backwards. Once you reeled it in, its just like it would act on land, flailing around. These are my idea for the fishing rods: - Wooden Fishing Rod = 8 wood and 3 silk/ catches goldfish only - Iron Fishing Rod = 8 iron bars and 5 silk/ catches goldfish and corrupt goldfish - Gold Fishing Rod = 8 gold bars and 7 silk/ catchs the two above and a uncommon chance of catching a shark - Cobalt Fishing Rod = 8 cobalt bars and 10 silk/ catches the two fish, has a higher percent of catching a shark and sometimes catches a Hallow goldfish A Hallow Goldfish is just like a regular goldfish except its rainbowy, sparkles a little, and has 60 life. I dont know if the Hallow goldfish, when it dies, should be turned into a potion or whatever, im just talking about the fishing part. This fishing thing might start some ideas for docks or something. Please comment on what you think.

In a statement read by Buzz Ng Bayan host Boy Abunda on Sunday, May 4, 2014, Rod Cornejo, grandfather of Deniece Cornejo, one of the five accused in the serious illegal detention case filed by actor-TV host Vhong Navarro before the Taguig Regional Trial Court Branch 271, believes that his granddaughter is innocent. According to him, Deniece is telling the truth that is why he believes that she should surrender herself to the authorities and trust the judicial system to determine her innocence.
Rod Cornejo also asked Buzz Ng Bayan viewers not to judge his granddaughter, Deniece,whose rape complaint against Vhong Navarro was dismissed by the Department of Justice several weeks ago due to lack of evidence. Meanwhile, in an interview with reporters several days ago following the arrest of Cedric Lee and Zimmer Raz in the Town of Oras, Eastern Samar, Atty. Emetrio Dongallo of the National Bureau of Investigation Samar District Office revealed that Deniece was probably in the area when they arrested the two
According to him, they found a lady dress in the house where the arrested suspects harbored for almost a week after Judge Paz Esperanza Cortez of the Taguig Regional Trial Court Branch 271 issued arrest warrants against them. Incidentally, Cedric and Zimmer are still in the custody of the NBI because of a motion filed by Atty. Howard Calleja.
Reports said they will come face to face with Vhong Navarro this coming May 6 at the sala of Judge Paz Esperanza Cortez, in an interview with reporters several days ago, Atty. Alma Mallonga, lawyer of actor Vhong Navarro confirmed the appearance of his client, according to her, Vhong is physically and emotionally ready to face the suspects. Obviously, this is going to be a very long but exciting battle for Vhong Navarro because his foes are dedicated to prove their innocence in court despite the evidences gathered by the NBI at Deniece's condominium unit.

This question already has an answer here:
On this machine, I installed Lubuntu 12.04 and then installed the
ubuntu-desktop package. Now there is some Lubuntu software, such as the Lubuntu Software Center, Xscreensaver, and Abiword, that needs to be removed.
There are plenty of scripts online, like this one, that describe how to get back to a pure Ubuntu desktop (after installing the
lubuntu-desktop package) by removing all the Lubuntu packages, that is, the packages that
lubuntu-desktop depends on. Can I use that script to remove the old Lubuntu packages and fully migrate to pure Ubuntu? I am worried that the script may remove some packages, like
libbluray, that Ubuntu needs.

General information:
ACTARA contains 250 g/kg thiamethoxam formulated as a water dispersible granule. It
controls a range of aphids that commonly attack seed and ware potatoes including strains of
Myzus persicae resistant to organophosphate, carbamate and pyrethroid insecticides.
ACTARA belongs to the neonicotinoid class of chemicals. It has contact, stomach and systemic
properties. ACTARA applied as a foliar spray provides rapid knock down of aphids and
through its systemic activity long lasting (typically 2–3 weeks) efficacy against re-invasion of
aphids. ACTARA applied to the soil at planting as an in-furrow spray will provide protection
against aphid infestation during the early growth of the crop; typically for three to four
weeks after crop emergence.
Pests controlled:
ACTARA when applied as a foliar spray will reduce the transmission of potato viruses (e.g.
potato leaf roll virus and potato virus Y) by controlling the aphid vectors which spread
these viruses. The aphids controlled include: peach-potato aphid (Myzus persicae), potato
aphid (Macrosiphum euphorbiae), glasshouse and potato aphid (Aulacorthum solani) and
buckthorn-potato aphid (Aphis nasturtii). The use of ACTARA as an in-furrow treatment for
seed potatoes at planting will provide early protection against the establishment of aphids
which will also help in minimising the early transmission of virus diseases.

- Independent trip from Athens to Mykonos with overnight accommodation
- Make the most of ample free time to see the beautiful Greek island as you wish
- Lounge in the sun on Santorini beaches such as Perissa or Perivolos
- Explore the picturesque village of Oia, or discover the tavernas around the old port of Ormos
- Enjoy overnight hotel accommodation in the towns of Fira or Kamari
- Relax with a round-trip ferry crossing between Athens and Mykonos
Why Our Insiders Chose This Tour
This tiny island has something for everyone. On this self-guided getaway from Athens, you can see museums, lounge on beaches, party at nightclubs or check out the sacred archaeological sites on nearby Delos Island.
What You Can Expect
Start your trip to Mykonos with a pickup from your central Athens hotel in the early morning, and travel to Piraeus Port. Board your ferry and relax on the 4-hour crossing to Mykonos, a tiny island that forms part of the Cyclades island chain. Perhaps take a seat out on deck and catch some of the Aegean sun and scenery as you travel!
Once docked at Mykonos port, travel to your 3- or 4-star hotel, check in and then spend the rest of your day at leisure. Perhaps take a stroll around the island to discover its rustic windmills, whitewashed houses and churches, or bask on a beach until the sun goes down.
The island comes to life at night, so head out to experience Mykonos' acclaimed tavernas, bars and nightclubs. Party the night away or perhaps enjoy a quieter evening stroll along the waterfront, and ogle the mega-yachts and glitzy boats that line the harbor.
Overnight: 3-star Petinaros Hotel or 4-star Apollonia Hotel and Resort on Mykonos
Day 2: Mykonos – Athens (B)
After breakfast, check out of your hotel, and then spend the morning and afternoon doing whatever you wish. Make the most of the Mykonos sunshine by lounging on one of the island's idyllic gold-sand beaches such as Elias Beach. Or if culture is more your thing, Mykonos boasts several museums as well as the beautiful Church of Panagia Paraportiani. Admire the church's interior and then stroll down to the quaint neighborhood of Little Venice, where pretty blue-and-white houses teeter on the water's edge.
If you want to explore farther afield, why not head out on an optional excursion to the nearby island of Delos? Lying just 30 minutes away from Mykonos, the ancient island is rich in Greek mythological history, and is often pinpointed as the birthplace of Greek gods Artmenis and Apollo. Awarded UNESCO World Heritage status for its array of ancient temples and sanctuaries, the island is well worth a visit to complement your Mykonos experience.
Your ferry crossing back to Athens leaves in the late afternoon, so return to your hotel at the prearranged time for your transfer to Mykonos port. After cruising back to Piraeus Port, finish your experience with a hotel drop-off in central Athens in the evening.

A great introduction for the first-timer. Highly recommended.

Tour organisers were somewhat disorganised, once in the island they couldn't find my name on their lists. But besides that everything was ok.

We used a first class hotel. The hotel location and staff service were excellent. We enjoyed nice view from the balcony. That would be great if there was 3 days or 4days tour as options.

Hotel was great except too far out of town on a steep narrow and busy road,also return pickup to the port was a little late. Major complaint was the boat.....we paid a lot of money for this tour and wasn't given an allocated seat on the 5 1/2 hour boat trip each way,had to sit in corridors on hard uncomfortable chairs fighting for space with many others. Perhaps a 2 or 3 night option could be offered
December 2013
This was a last-minute decision on my part, so Viator was helpful in terms of organizing ferry tickets and hotel transfers while I was in another country. That being said, with some pre-planning this trip can be done on your own for a MUCH MORE reasonable price. And if money isn't really the issue, I would suggest taking a fast ferry or even a plane because the time on the island is quite limited by the 5 1/2 hour ferry ride each way.
The hotel I stayed at on Mykonos (Mina Beach) was "tourist grade," which apparently means no air conditioning, no hotel amenities and unreliable availability of hotel staff. Luckily there was a beautiful beach just down the street that had numerous food and beverage options. The hotel was also not in the town of Mykonos but instead required a 15-minute bus ride (2 euros) and 5-minute walk to get to. A slight inconvenience but easily enough to navigate.
All in all, I would recommend planning this trip on your own if you have the time – and take more than 2 days! Mykonos is beautiful.

This is happening nearly everyweek, usually overnight when there is nothing happening on it. When i come back in the morning the fan is spinning at over 6100 rpm. Normally it spins at around 1100 rpm.
What is causing this, and how can I fix it?

Australian Technology Park, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Join us at the 8th annual Field Service Management Summit 2016 for a full 2 days of information-sharing, learning and networking with field service professionals from across industry.
This year's theme is about delivering value, how to 'transform from a cost centre to a value centre' and how to 'deliver true customer value'. This is supported by the fact that in today's increasingly competitive market place, the idea of delivering and showing the value of FSM has been central to the majority of conversations we have been having for the past 8 years.
In today's intensely competitive and technologically advanced work environments, what will set your business apart from the competition is the quality of service you offer your customers. Indeed, 50% of customers demand for quicker response time and 43% of service organisations need to improve workforce utilisation, productivity and service process efficiencies.
In the current cost-sensitive and hyper-responsive service market, even the most sophisticated and progressive services organizations often find themselves struggling to effectively deal with the scalability aspects of managing an internal field workforce. The challenges are often far too steep for service leaders to manage effectively, which typically ends up diminishing performance, slashing customer satisfaction and, ultimately, costing the business money.
In light of this, service organisations understand that they need to become more efficient, develop better time saving approaches and fix a problem in the first visit in order to meet customer expectations.
"Informative, excellent forum for exchange of ideas and experiences" Financial Controller, GLG GreenLife Group
"Depth of experience of presenters and attendees and, their willingness to share their knowledge, was very valuable and broadened my insight into Field Service" Systems & Process Analyst, Horizon Power
"Networking opportunities of great value" Manager Business Support Technical, Dubbo City Council
"Great opportunity and space and to exchange stories about issues and solutions" Senior Business Consultant, Goulburn Murray Water
Join us in March 2016 to better prepare yourself to face these challenges, share with your peers and improve on your field service management strategies.
I look forward to meeting you onsite in Sydney in March 2016.

It's Beat 'SC week. Those words speak for themselves on this campus. The fervor generated by the rivalry reaches a crescendo this Saturday afternoon at the Rose Bowl, when the battle for Los Angeles football bragging rights is waged.
That said, as much as the players and coaches will be engaged in a meaningful football game on the field, they will treat one another with respect and sportsmanship. Everyone in Athletics asks you, the Bruin family, to do the same.
Bruins and Trojans to Lock Horns at the Rose Bowl
The 8-2 and #17-ranked UCLA football team returns to the pomp and circumstance of the Rose Bowl at noon on Saturday afternoon when it hosts its cross-town rival USC, with the Pac-12 South Division championship on the line.

Pauley Pavilion has occupied a soft spot in my heart since my days as a student in the early 1970s. I am fortunate enough to have been in the arena for some magical moments over the years, and many of them are ingrained in my head. I am proud to say that after New Pauley Opening Weekend, three more moments can be added to the list: the first men's and women's basketball games in the facility, and the Title IX reception held in the Pavilion Club prior to the women's game.
The games were a celebration of each of those storied programs and their bright futures, with all the pomp and circumstance associated with the opening of a new building, especially considering how history and Pauley tend to go hand-in-hand. The Title IX event gave us a chance to truly reflect on the importance of UCLA's trailblazers in women's sports, from administrators to coaches and student-athletes, and was a poignant affair for all those who attended.
All three of these, as well as the building renovation and the other opening festivities, would not have been possible without the support of so many of you -- and I thank you.
In addition to those three events, the opening two weeks of New Pauley were downright amazing, and I want to personally thank all the UCLA Athletics legends who participated in our many ceremonies over the course of that time. They brought such class and dignity to all the events, and I am forever grateful.
Switching gears for a minute to the football field, I wanted to thank you for all the support you have shown that program all season long. Thanks to a very good home season so far at the Rose Bowl, we are in position to accomplish great things.
With our cross-town rivals from USC coming to the stadium Saturday, I remind you that it is imperative that we put our best foot forward as a university. Let's allow the rivalry to play itself out on the football field, not in the stands or the parking lots.
Go Bruins!
Dan Guerrero
UCLA Athletic Director

Some people choose to become generally known by their spiritual names; others keep them as a deeply personal concentration. Some choose never to use a spiritual name. There is no requirement that the do so. Once a gift is given, the giver has no control over what is done with it.
9. What are "practices?"
A child repeats the alphabet, and thereby learns to read. Or he or she repeats the multiplication tables until they are automatically called forth when needed in daily computations. A musician plays scales and etudes over and over again, thereby gaining the facility to play more complex music, or to improvise.
An adept on the spiritual path also needs to hone certain skills: intuition, subtlety of perception, insight, devotion. These abilities are developed through the repetition of spiritual practice. Exercises with the breath, with sound and movement, meditation, concentration, contemplation, and prayer are the components of a seekers repertoire of practices.
Not all practices are valuable to all people. In fact a practice wrongly chosen can do both psychological and even physical damage. For this reason many practices are kept secret until the adept is deemed ready for them. Practices are prescribed by ones spiritual guide, and should only be taken from a single source, much the same as one would not mix medications given by two different physicians.
10. Does Sufism offer experiences beyond the ordinary?
If beyond ordinary means rediscovering ones inner knowledge and inner senses reflecting the soul and spirit, then it is a natural awakening to ones Divine inheritance.

Efforts to recover the body of a possible drowning victim resumed today on the Tennessee River in the waters between Eastport in Tishomingo County and Riverton, Ala.
The search for the man, whom authorities have not identified, began about 2:30 p.m. Monday when people who were swimming with him reported he had not come back up from a swim after a sudden storm kicked up, according to the Times Daily newspaper.
An unofficial source said the man might be from New Albany.
The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks and the Tishomingo County dive team are assisting in the effort, and recovery had not been accomplished as of 11:15 a.m. Tuesday, according to the Tishomingo County sheriff's office.

Noise Shaping in Digital Test-Signal Generation
We extend an idea, proposed in an earlier paper, to use noise-shaping techniques in the generation of digital test signals. The previous paper proposed using noise shaping around an undithered quantizer to generate sinusoidal digital test signals with spectra having error nulls at the harmonics of the signal frequency, thus making digital distortion measurements of very great dynamic range possible. We extend this idea in a number of ways. We show: (a) that dither is necessary in order to suppress spurious artifacts caused by the nonlinearity of an undithered noise shaper, (b) that wider and deeper nulls at the harmonic frequencies can be achieved by using higher-order noise-shaper designs, (c) that IIR filter designs can moderate the increased noise power that accompanies an increased FIR filter order, and (d) some other novel uses of noise shaping in digital signal generation.

Forget coloured photo boxes, plastic bins and the dreaded label-maker. Organizational guru Peter Walsh has a news flash for you -- it's not about the stuff you have, it's about the life you want.
"We live in a culture that says more is better -- you show your success by the acquisition of stuff," says the clutter-busting star of TLC's Clean Sweep via phone from his home in Los Angeles.
"When we buy stuff, we buy into the promise: 'If you buy this cookware, your family will sit around the table smiling and enjoying themselves.' The fact is that we buy into that promise, we surround ourselves with stuff and we suddenly realize that very little of it has delivered on its promise."
In fact, he says, "stuff" will never give us the kind of comfort we seek.
"Meaning is not in the quantity of stuff that you have, meaning is in the quality of relationships that you have," he says.
If this sounds like it's going way beyond organizing, you're right. Walsh, who divides his time between L.A. and his native Australia, holds a master's degree with a specialty in educational psychology. Which is why, whether you're watching him on TLC or reading his book, It's All Too Much: An Easy Plan for Living a Richer Life with Less Stuff (Free Press, 2007), you get a straight-talking lesson on the connection between the stuff you have and the life you want.
"When we talk about clutter, we use very specific language that we don't use anywhere else," he explains. "You feel buried, suffocated, you can't breathe.
"Why do we use that language in a metaphorical way? It's because instinctually we know that's what clutter does for us. It robs us of the ability to breathe and operate and function in a fully human way. It's not until we confront it and what it represents that we can start moving to the next step."
So clutter busting is good -- but Walsh's approach goes much deeper than simply sorting items into piles that say "keep" or "don't keep."
"If you focus on the stuff, I believe you will never, ever get organized," Walsh says. "The first question you should be asking yourself is, 'What do I want from this room, this space, this house?' Then you're in a position to ask, 'What do I need for this space?' "
He explains he recently worked with a married couple whose relationship was a little rocky. He started by asking them to describe what they wanted from their master bedroom. They responded with words like sanctuary, love, comfort and company. When he opened the door to the bedroom, it revealed a desk with a computer on it and a pile of magazines on the floor beside the bed. Neither, he says, contributed to the vision the couple had for their space.
"If the things you surround yourself with are not there to help you create the life you want, why do you have them in the first place?" he asks. "You need to start with the vision you have for the life you want, individually or with your partner, and talk about each space in that way.
"All of a sudden, it's not about what you own, it's about the life you want. That's why this touches people on such a deep level. If you don't create the life you want, tell me, who is going to do that for you?"
Walsh's book offers a step-by-step guide to assessing each room in your home and figuring out which items should stay or go, all based on this premise.
This is a man who understands it's not about the modern art vase sitting out on your windowsill; it's about what that vase says to you -- the memories it holds and the joy or beauty it brings to you (or, conversely, the discord that it brings if it doesn't suit your vision).
When you're honest about what you want your life to look like -- whether it's a living room filled with friends or a playroom filled with laughter -- you suddenly see which items in the room are contributing to that vision.
"At what point do you start creating the life you want?" Walsh asks. "It's as complex as that and as simple as that, all at the same time."
How it works
I tried Walsh's approach on my home office, which I've repeatedly tried to organize using filing cabinets, folders and, yes, those labels.
Instead of tackling the files themselves, I asked myself what I wanted from the space.
Creativity and calm were the two words that immediately suggested themselves -- and as they did, the file box that held all the "should" projects I'd been holding onto, in some cases for years, practically leapt off the shelving unit.
Instead of papers, I saw the files for what they were: ideas I didn't have the time to follow up on -- and the subsequent reproach and guilt I felt every time I saw them.
So I recycled pretty much the entire basket. No more guilt, no more reproach -- just a space on my shelving unit (and in my mind) that's been freed up for newer, exciting ideas that are better suited to now and to the future.
If you want to try it yourself, Walsh's book, It's All Too Much, is widely available at bookstores and online -- you can also watch for his new title, Does this Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat? (Free Press, 2008): An Easy Plan for Losing Weight and Living More, due for release Feb. 5.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees and two of his offensive lineman are going to the Pro Bowl on Jan. 30.
Guards Jahri Evans and Carl Nicks were also selected. Evans is the starter for the NFC.
Michael Vick is the starting quarterback for the NFC.
Atlanta, which leads the NFC with a 12-3 record, had the most Pro Bowlers with seven, including quarterback Matt Ryan, receiver Roddy White and defensive end John Abraham.
New England (13-2), the AFC leader, had six Pro Bowlers, led by QB Tom Brady, the league's top passer who will make his sixth trip to the game -- providing the Patriots don't make the Super Bowl. The game will be played the Sunday before the title game at Dallas Cowboys Stadium.
