TOP VACATION RENTAL IN REUNION AWARD WINNER for the third year running. We are very proud to receive this award for our cherished condo. We have also received an award for our lovely villa too!
Please read our reviews. These are GENUINE reviews left by our cherished guests.
Fantastic location, we truly believe that we have thee spot at Centre Court Ridge, Reunion Resort's most popular neighbourhood.
Please ask if you don't see your preferred dates, we may still be able to help.
Updated October 2016. All three bedrooms now have Netflix, Blu-ray players with 40' HDTVs, plus smart clock iphone docks!
Water Park and Golf access can be arranged at an extra cost.
Our 5 Star luxury vacation condo is a rare ground floor corner unit with a lovely sunny terrace right on the 12th tee of the award-winning Tom Watson Independence course at Centre Court Ridge, Reunion Resort's most popular location, complete with award-winning tennis centre. Centre Court Ridge is only 5 minutes walk from all the main attractions at Reunion. Our property is equipped with absolutely everything you could need and more - if there's anything you'd like, there's pretty much nothing we can't do for you. Just ask...
We have lots of special added extras that we'd like to share with you. Our guests love the incredible location, the attention to detail, the upgrades and - we like to believe - the fact that we try so hard to make our guests welcome before and during their stay. We have genuinely about the best views at Centre Court Ridge (being on the ground floor is actually a nicer view and ours has a particularly great aspect over the golf courses!) - plus, we are away from any access roads.
Our terrace offers a great place to sit and enjoy either the lovely views or occasional fun as golfers aim for that hole in one. We have comfortable lounge chairs and ottomans to complement our outside dining table - an easy place to relax, if experience is anything to go by!
There's more than one reason that we are award-winners. Hopefully you can find out for yourselves...
We and our Reunion-preferred interior designers chose tasteful classic Floridian decor (in excess of $70k worth) - recent upgrades include all bedding now by Ralph Lauren Home and premium quality Thomasville leather seating. Ours is a high end home and so much nicer and more spacious than a hotel experience, we think you'll agree.
You'll also find every amenity you could require - from a kitchen equipped with anything you could need, to FREE on-demand movies and 3D Blu-Ray player on the 3D 42 inch Internet HDTV, complete with 3D DVDs and viewing glasses in the living room. We've tried to make it so you will want for nothing. We even supply a welcome pack to get you started…
We love our home and visit as often as we can - we want you to enjoy it too.
And with a superb new pool and spa tub right by the back door, this is the place to be!

We are one of those unusual couples that are married and work together! We met and fell in love at art college and have been together ever since. We live and work in a lovely little seaside town in the north west of England called Southport where we own a successful design business, completing projects in both the UK and USA. We have travelled worldwide but when we wanted to have a more permanent base, started looking in the Orlando area and found Reunion Resort, we were impressed by the vision for a world-class resort just minutes from Disney. We bought this beautiful condo and a stunning pool house in Patriots Landing, Reunion, we find them the perfect compliment to each other. We wouldn't want more as we find we can maintain these two properties to the highest of standards, we are the fussiest people in the world and work very hard to ensure they are the best available.
We could have chosen any condo at Centre Court Ridge but this one afforded the best view together with the novelty of walking straight out onto the 12th tee of the Watson course. It is central within the neighbourhood which means we are close to facilities but away from roads.
Ground floor, corner unit makes for easy access. There are so many little extras that we provide, coupled with our attention to detail, we know you won't find it's equivalent.
I don't typically review but I felt that you went out of your way to ensure our stay met our expectations so I wanted to recognize your efforts:
We were very pleased with our stay at this vacation home. Right from our initial contact, David went out of his way to honestly answer our questions and provide excellent advice for our vacation. We were pleasantly surprised at the spaciousness of the condo and how well it was able to accommodate our family. It was clean, well maintained and as advertised. The terrace, with dining table and comfortable loungers, was our favourite place to relax. The central location of the condo was very much appreciated. We were within an easy walk to tennis courts, swimming pools and restaurants at the main Reunion hotel. Close proximity to grocery stores allowed us to make good use of the kitchen facilities. We highly recommend David's condo and would rent it again.
First we would like to say how extremely helpful, flexible and responsive David, the owner, was. The condo met everything stated and pictured. Upon arrival we noticed how clean and beautiful everything was. We stayed part of the first week of October with our daughter and grandsons, 8 and 14. The beds were so comfortable, even the twin beds. Many times we have found the Master bedroom was comfortable but the twin beds for the boys were not. This condo has everything high quality, from the kitchen to the pool towels. The condo is luxurious, with each room comfortable, well supplied and with plenty of room. We lacked nothing and enjoyed our stay. We hope to return again. Thank you for sharing your home with our family, David.
We are a family of 5 and stayed in this beautiful 3 bed condo for two weeks.
The condo itself was excellent with many additional touches which really helped with the vacation such as cool boxes etc. It was beautifully presented with high quality furniture and the bedrooms all generous sizes with their own bathrooms.
Reunion itself is stunning, with perfectly manicured gardens and golf courses. The actual tower is lovely to escape to with a fantastic bar and pool on the top floor.
I would not hesitate in recommending this condo to anybody for their Orlando stay.
Firstly, David the owner was very responsive to emails and telephone calls - he was extremely helpful. Even though we are seasoned travellers to Florida some of the places to visit that David recommended were new to us - so that information was very much welcomed.
The four bedroom villa we stayed in is well worth the 5 stars, we would give it more if VRBO allowed. As soon as you walk in you notice how clean and wonderfully presented the home is, I state 'home' as this is obviously a place that is loved by its owners, they have thought about everything. There is a fresh openness to the ground floor with the kitchen, dining room and extensive lounge area being open plan. The kitchen is a good size, with breakfast bar, and all appliances are of a very high quality and work perfectly. Lounge area is very stylish and extremely comfortable, Netfilx is available so we enjoyed a few films during our stay. The lounge area is beautifully light and bright with two large French windows which lead out to the beautiful pool deck, which is South-West facing, the pool is of a good size to cool of in. As the villa is on a corner it is extremely private and surrounded by gorgeous landscaping and conservation woodland, pool furniture is again of high quality and perfect for relaxing.
We only used the master bedroom, which is located upstairs, so can only comment on the comfort of that bed - it was heaven, we had the best nights sleep in it. All the bedrooms are again beautifully presented and have extremely high quality bedding on them. Also in each bedroom is a large TV and Bluray or DVD in it. The master bathroom is a great size with his and her sinks, a very large shower and a two person bathtub. All other bathrooms are a good size too.
We can honestly say that this villa had everything we wanted, it was a real home away from home for us. They have a fantastic Management Company who were extremely helpful when we asked to view David's other property, apart from that we didn't need to contact them. We loved it that much we have already reserved three weeks there in May 2017, can't wait to go back.
Also want to comment on Reunion itself. What a beautiful resort, it was extremely well maintained and has awesome facilities. During our stay we experienced the Spa, the waterpark, a communal pool and one of the restaurants - all were fantastic.
Loved everything about our stay at David's villa, looking forward to our next trip.
We have stayed at other properties close to DisneyWorld and this one is by far THE BEST. Save your time from searching through hundreds of properties as this is the one to stay at. Great property on a great resort. We will be back.
Our family of six thoroughly enjoyed our four days at this wonderful condo located in the tennis center complex at Reunion Resort. Not only did it have lovely views of the golf course from the rear patio, it was very close to the main Salamander/Reunion Resort Hotel with it's coffee shop, lovely lobby, golf clubhouse and was within walking distance of two very pretty swimming pools. Reunion is a very large resort and this location was perfect for us as we were wanting a degree of privacy yet proximity to the camaraderie and fun of the resort. The owner David answered any and all of our questions promptly and was happy to assist us with our vacation planning. The condominium itself is truly first class and lovely from stem to stern, the kitchen, LR and bedrooms and terrace were a delight to the eye and a welcome retreat after our busy days. I highly recommend this property should you want a lovely and luxurious stay a stone's throw from all the theme parks. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us, it was just terrific.
Suzi Briden and Family
This property was better even than some properties in the Disney World area. Very kids friendly, short distance from theme parks and shoppig centre. We were 2 adults and 2 kids and everyone had plenty of room, kitchen had enough appliances for cooking and it was very clean and comfortable. There is also lots of kids videos and game to play. I loved it and hope we can go back.

STAMFORD - A public hearing is being held in Stamford tonight to discuss the proposed rate increase for Connecticut Light & Power customers.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal says CL&P wants to increase its fixed monthly service charge by 59 percent.
This means customers would be paying about $150 more each year.
The meeting will be at the Stamford Government Center on Washington Boulevard starting at 6:30 p.m.

TransportTechnologie-Consult Karlsruhe GmbH (TTK) is a subsidiary of Albtal-Verkehrs-Gesellschaft mbH (AVG), the regional transport company of Karlsruhe, and Planung Transport Verkehr AG (PTV). AVG is known as the pioneer of the Tram Train, i.e. the tracksharing between light and heavy rail. PTV AG is the largest private industry-independent German consulting and software company in the transport sector.
Within the PTV group, TTK is the centre of competence for rail-bound public transport. Tracksharing between light and heavy rail vehicles, also known as the "Karlsruher Modell", is one of TTK's core competences. It was the starting point for the foundation of the company and formed the basis whereupon today's activity spectrum and expertise are built.
TTK employs around 27 German and French staff members having at their disposal extensive experience in all fields of public transport. As a result of the collaboration between French and German professionals within project teams, clients benefit from the experiences acquired in the neighbouring countries. The know-how transfer between France and Germany, and increasingly also with other countries, is a trade mark of TTK. It is further complemented by international experience gained in a large variety of projects, some also in the research sector.

A Long Time Coming
Dancers Wendy Whelan and Edward Watson say that they first came up with the idea of collaborating together around ten years ago, when they were both dancing with Christopher Wheeldon's company Morphoses/The Wheeldon Company. It has taken until now for these two internationally acclaimed dancers to be in the same country at the same time long enough for the project to come to fruition. After its premiere in the Linbury Studio Theatre, Whelan and Watson will perform Other Stories on tour, at venues including New York City Center, where Whelan is Artistic Associate.
Portrait of the Artists
Whelan is one of the most iconic American ballerinas of her generation. She has spent most of her career with New York City Ballet, where she danced as a principal from 1991 to her retirement in 2014. Since leaving NYCB she has developed innovative collaborative projects, of which Other Stories is the second, after 2013's Restless Creature. Watson has been a Principal of The Royal Ballet since 2005. He is highly acclaimed both for his interpretations of the Company's core repertory, particularly in works by Kenneth MacMillan, and for his role creations for choreographers as diverse as Wayne McGregor and Wheeldon. He was appointed an MBE in 2015.
New Directions
Though Whelan and Watson come from very different ballet traditions, they share a remarkable ability to inhabit a range of styles – both classical and neo-classical in ballet, and, more recently, contemporary dance. For Other Stories they have refused to rest on their laurels. 'We wanted to think about what else we could be… We didn't want to do a vanity project, showing off what we already knew we could do. We wanted to use our experience to try something new.' To that end they have invited five choreographers to create new works.
Three of the choreographers worked with both the dancers. Javier De Frutos creates First and Wait, a work that 'very much reflects the spirit of its creation – almost a video diary of the moments we shared in the studio'. In Dance Me to the End of Love, Danièle Desnoyers explores the joint virtuosity of her two dancers, creating a dialogue between the dancers and the onstage musicians. Closing the programme is Arthur Pita's The Ballad of Mack and Ginny, a tango taking its inspiration from Brecht and Weill's provocative Threepenny Opera.
… and Apart
Other Stories includes a solo work for each of the dancers. Arlene Phillips creates Dance Me to the End of Love on Watson: 'A once famous dancer enters an empty ballroom that echoes with memories of the woman he loved. He relives the relationship that destroyed him.' Annie-B Parson uses Whelan's virtuoso abilities to the full in the abstract Short Ride Out, a work of complex rhythms and different structures that focusses on 'what Balanchine called "the fact of dancing"'.
This year, Northern Ballet celebrates its 45th anniversary. The company, founded by Canadian-born Laverne Meyer in 1969, began with just 11 dancers performing small-scale works. Now a company of 48 dancers on the road for up to 32 weeks of the year, it is the busiest touring ballet company in the UK.
Directed for 12 years by former Royal Ballet Principal Christopher Gable (who focused as much on theatre as he did on ballet), the company has built up a first-class repertory in theatrical narratives, and is known for its story-telling prowess – reflected in the commissioning of works including The Great Gatsby, Peter Pan and Wuthering Heights. Since 2001, Canadian-born David Nixon has been at the helm as Artistic Director, adding a diverse range of inventive work to the repertory and overseeing a move to new studios in Leeds, the largest purpose-built space for dance outside of London.
This Season, the company brings two works to the Royal Opera House's Linbury Studio Theatre: Daniel de Andrade's Elves and the Shoemaker – the most recent piece in the company's series 'Short Ballets for Small People' – and a diverse mixed programme featuring work by Jonathan Watkins, Christopher Hampson, Kenneth Tindall and Demis Volpi, including music ranging from Bach to Elvis Presley.
Ahead of their arrival in Covent Garden, we caught up with David Nixon:
You have now been Artistic Director of Northern Ballet for 14 years. How has the company changed in this time and what are your ambitions for it in the future?
Over the past 14 years, we've worked on increasing the technical and expressive aspects of the dance alongside the theatricality instilled by Christopher Gable. Since moving to our new facility, the company has grown in all areas, and we've widened our repertory and choreographic aspirations. Now, our ambitions are to find new choreographic voices that evolve the company's identity, and to reach beyond the boundaries of the UK taking dance to as many people as possible.
On 16 May, Elves and the Shoemaker opens in the Linbury Studio Theatre. Why do you create work aimed at children and why is that important?
Our work for children is a unique way for us to engage very young audiences, as well as providing a creative platform for young choreographic talent. We approach the ballet with the audience in mind, keeping the productions short and imaginative, with a sense of something magical, to ensure that children have a fantastic experience. This allows both parents and children to share in the arts at a very early stage – and they leave with some cherished memories!

Why do you think it is important to nurture young choreographers?
Dance lives in the present and responds to the times, and it is new work that shapes our artists and asks them to evolve. We can never underestimate the effect of any choreographer on the next generation – what might not be perceived as great at the time, sets the course for work that is.
Similarly, while we respect our heritage, our audiences ask us to bring something new and fresh to the stage.
What do you like about the work of Kenneth Tindall? What do you expect from his new piece, The Architect, in the Linbury Studio Theatre?
Kenneth is a real creative talent. I love the language of his work and the way he embodies the contemporary world while retaining an emotional context. He takes the work he has danced over his career and builds upon this with his unique voice. He moves our dancers in a very different and exciting way that thrills the onlookers.
Jonathan Watkins danced with The Royal Ballet so it's interesting to see him come back in a different capacity with A Northern Trilogy. Is this the first work he's making on the company and have you got future plans?
Last year I had the privilege to see Jonathan Watkins' Kes at the Crucible in Sheffield, and I was struck by his imagination and clarity of storytelling. I saw real potential, and thought he'd be very compatible with the company. He created his first work on Northern ballet for our 45th anniversary gala – the fresh and delightful A Northern Trilogy, which is part of this mixed programme. It's a wonderfully light work that captures beautifully the spirit and humour of the North. He is also creating a full-length work for the company – 1984, based on George Orwell's iconic novel – which opens this autumn.
What does it mean to you to be coming to the Royal Opera House?
Coming to the Linbury Studio Theatre is a real privilege for us. It gives us a chance to present a different face of the company – performing work by other creative talent and demonstrating the diverse strengths of our dancers. It also enables us to expand our presence in London. By exploring new partnerships, Kevin O'Hare is opening up what has, in the past, been perceived to be a closed world, and we are thrilled to be a part of this process.

'I am delighted to be welcoming Centre Chorégraphique National - Ballet de Lorraine to perform in the Linbury Studio Theatre for the very first time this March', says Royal Ballet Director Kevin O'Hare on the company's forthcoming Shaker Loops / Cover mixed programme.
'Ballet de Lorraine have very dynamic dancers and a varied repertory, and I'm sure they will bring a real energy and excitement to the Linbury'.
Ballet de Lorraine was founded in 1968. In 1999, it became a National Choreographic Centre (one of 19 formed in France in 1984), and has since focused on choreographic creation, experimenting with provocative, contemporary dance. Swedish dancer and choreographer Petter Jacobsson became Director of Ballet de Lorraine in July 2011.
'I've known Petter for many years', says Kevin. 'We both danced with the Sadler's Wells Royal Ballet from 1984. He was a very fine classical dancer and has led a huge, varied career.'
Petter studied at the Royal Swedish Ballet School and the Vaganova Academy in St. Petersburg, before performing as a principal with Sadler's Wells Royal Ballet for 11 years – where he met Kevin. In 1993, he moved to New York, developing his choreographic talents by working with dancers including Twyla Tharp, Merce Cunningham, Irene Hultman and Deborah Hay. He became the Artistic Director of The Royal Ballet of Sweden from 1999 to 2002.
'As Director of The Royal Ballet of Sweden, Petter really pushed the boundaries', says Kevin. 'Now, he continues to do so at Ballet de Lorraine, placing the company at the forefront of dance in France.']]>
A Venn diagram is a useful thing. While it would take half a page of print to explain the – until now – tenuous connection between the dancers Wendy Whelan and Edward Watson (she American, he British), in diagrammatic form it's the work of a moment. Draw a circle and mark it 'New York City Ballet'. Draw another labelled 'The Royal Ballet'. In the lozenge where they intersect, write 'Christopher Wheeldon'.
The two star dancers have followed distinctly different paths, on opposite sides of the Atlantic, and only once, briefly, have their trajectories crossed in a joint performance, and that was a decade ago. But they have a common denominator in the choreographer they both know as Chris, for whom each of these dancers has been a major inspiration. Edward, as many readers will know, was Wheeldon's first casting choice for jealous king Leontes in his adaptation of The Winter's Tale. He was also the model for his White Rabbit in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, to mention only the most recent roles. For her part, Wendy retired from New York City Ballet last year after 30 years with the company, the latter half of which saw her feature in almost every piece of work Wheeldon set his hand to in New York. So when someone said 'you two should do something together', neither dancer had to think twice about it. For not only did they share a history as Wheeldon muses, but each also wanted something of what the other appeared to offer.
Edward says he has always admired Wendy, 'not just for how she looks on stage, but for her quietly focused approach to everything. It might be to do with being American, but she has that quality more than most and that's how I want to be' Wendy, meanwhile, is ready for a new direction, post-City Ballet. 'If I see an open window with something interesting on the other side, metaphorically, I'm going to grab it,' she says. 'Ed has done a load of dramatic roles and I haven't, but I have a desire to do that. Somebody once told me "If you want something, find someone who has it and hang around them". I like to think if I spend enough quality time with Ed, it'll open that part of me up.'
The spur to their coming together was Edward's trip to New York with The Metamorphosis, Arthur Pita's dance-theatre adaptation of the Kafka story in which Edward plays the travelling salesman who wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into a giant insect. Wendy went along to see the show, loved it and afterwards Ed introduced her to the choreographer. 'They got on really well so I said "Why don't we ask Arthur to be the first person to make something for our show?"'
The three met again last August around the time of Wendy's visit to the Linbury Studio Theatre with her touring programme Restless Creature. This time the meeting with Arthur Pita got down to business in a dance studio. Wendy hadn't known what to expect, 'but Ed said "Trust me on this" and I'm glad I did. Just this little play-around session we had, which lasted a few hours, was exactly what I was looking for – a new approach.
'Arthur's not a ballet choreographer, but I'm really happy about that. This felt more like being in an improv acting class and it was an answer to a prayer. I don't know if I'd have been ready for this a few years ago, but now the soil is very fertile.'
Both Wendy and Edward are wary of giving too much away, but Edward is prepared to divulge that Arthur Pita's segment of the programme 'will be a story about two people. In the workshop, we basically just got to know each other again, discovering how each other moved... Arthur is working with the idea of the tango, a formal confrontation between two people, and we're playing around with some music and lyrics that suggest Kurt Weill's The Threepenny Opera. Whether or not that will be the final music, that's the kind of relationship these two people have.'
The evening will ultimately comprise three duets and two solos. A single designer – Jean-Marc Puissant – will give a unified look to the programme 'and there will be a soundscape that links everything', according to Ed, although he's not naming names. Both of the dancers are clear about what they don't want the evening to be. 'We've seen a lot of those shows where you each do your thing and then everyone claps, and then you have a little pause or a video clip before the next number. There's nothing wrong with that but we want this to be different. So we're going for an hour straight through, with one costume to which we can add or subtract things as we go. A lot of modern dance can end up looking a bit similar. I want this to be specifically about us two and where we are now in our dancing lives.'
Physically as well as culturally, Wendy and Ed make an intriguing match. Both are notably long limbed, whippet-lean and hyper-flexible, qualities that choreographers have been happy to exploit over the years. In addition, Wendy, by her own admission, has 'a crooked back, I have scoliosis. That limits a certain range of motion, but it enhances other shapes I can make well. I have a lot of asymmetry and it's something not every choreographer understands how to work with. In fact, it hasn't been a handicap at all, but my doctors are always amazed – they can't believe that I do what I do. But I've dealt with it since I was 12 years old and luckily I had some very good treatment at a young age, so I learned how to support my spine and work with it. The older I get, the more I have to think about it, because it tends to solidify with age. So I have to keep it as malleable and free as possible and I'm on a quest to keep it as juicy as I can.'
As Edward sees it, Wendy is 'kind of fascinating to look at, but you don't ever think "her back looks a bit wonky." You get drawn in. It is truly amazing the ability she has to draw you in and stop time, almost. She still has this magnificence; it's nothing flashy, more a kind of stillness about her, a focused simplicity.'
All being well, that mature artistry will be magnified to the power of two in their coming collaboration, given Edward's long experience as a partner as well as a soloist. 'I think the trust level will be really deep and special because of that, Wendy concludes. 'We're both experienced, we've both been around the block – we know what we want, we know what's meaningful to us. And the chemistry is what I really want to show – in lots of different choreographic forms.'

Two Mad Hatters take to the stages of the Royal Opera House this festive season, in works inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. We couldn't resist bringing together the two different versions of the same character for a dance-off in full costume in front of an audience of 50 excited children from local school St Joseph's Primary.
Royal Ballet Principal Steven McRae plays the tap-dancing Mad Hatter in The Royal Ballet's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland this Christmas, while Turbo's hip hop-styled Mad Hatter features in ZooNation's Mad Hatter's Tea Party. The former production will be live in cinemas around the world on 16 December, while the latter will be live-streamed for free via YouTube and this website on 18 December.

The Mariinsky Ballet's Summer 2014 performances at the Royal Opera House are presented by Victor Hochhauser.]]>
This month, the Royal Opera House plays host to the Mariinsky Ballet, one of Russia's top companies, when they bring their productions of Romeo and Juliet, Swan Lake and Cinderella, as well two mixed programmes, to Covent Garden.
The Mariinsky can trace its tradition back to the 18th century, when the first ballet school was set up in St Petersburg. Since then the company has produced stars including choreographers Marius Petipa and Mikhail Fokine, and dancers Galina Ulanova, Rudolf Nureyev, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Anna Pavlova and, more recently, Uliana Lopatkina.
In this podcast, Dance Critic and Arts Editor in Chief of The Daily Telegraph, Sarah Crompton, who has seen the Mariinsky Ballet perform many times, talks about the company's distinctive style and what to look forward to in its Summer Season at the Royal Opera House.

The Mariinsky Ballet return this summer for their 11th season at the Royal Opera House, making them Covent Garden's most frequent visiting ballet company.
The Mariinsky first appeared at the Royal Opera House as part of a four-week season in 1961, when it was known as the Leningrad State Kirov Ballet. The company's visit that year was part of a simultaneous exchange of British and Russian ballet companies, with The Royal Ballet appearing both in Leningrad (now St Petersburg) and at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, while the Kirov Ballet dazzled audiences at Covent Garden.
The Bolshoi Ballet had been the first Russian company to visit the West after the end of World War II and had stunned audiences in 1956 with their dramatic and physical intensity. The visit by the Kirov Ballet – the cradle of 19th century classicism – was eagerly anticipated and did not disappoint. They brought a company of over 120 dancers in five different programmes, opening the season with a ballet new to British audiences – The Stone Flower.
Other full-length ballets that season were The Sleeping Beauty, Giselle and Swan Lake, and a gala performance that included Mikhail Fokine's Chopiniana, first performed at the Mariinsky in 1908; excerpts from Taras Bulba; The Nutcracker; and other works new to the West.
Following the defection of Rudolf Nureyev from the company in Paris in 1961, the Kirov Ballet did not return to Covent Garden until 1966. There was another season in 1988, and then a break until 2000.
Since then, the Mariinsky Ballet has enjoyed a summer season in London nearly every year. Initially the repertory included all the great classical works, several of which had either not been seen in Britain or were less familiar. Increasingly, the company has added works by choreographers familiar to Western audiences, beginning with George Balanchine, who began his career at the Kirov before leaving for Europe in 1924 and then New York where he founded the School of American Ballet and New York City Ballet. Works by Kenneth MacMillan and William Forsythe have also been added to their repertory, and this year they are bringing Ashton's Marguerite and Armand, created on Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev in 1963.
The Mariinsky summer season runs at the Royal Opera House 28 July–16 August 2014. Tickets are still available.]]>

Elephant Hills (Khao Sok National Park)
Thailand at it's most stunning. Stepping outside of a tent on a floating platform in the middle of a lake, is definitely an experience you can't forget. I made sure to be up early to capture the first light on the mountain and to simply enjoy one of the most incredible sights of untouched landscape I've seen.

Memories (from Elephant Hills)
Getting up close to an elephant is a memory I wont forget, but she's seen it all before. In her 70's and slowly enjoying her twilight years in the natural beauty of Thailand's Khao Sok National Park.

Floating Markets
About an hour from Bangkok and you can find a floating village with a traditional floating market selling fruits and produce. Most of it now centred around tourism, but if you know where to look you can still find the older generation of women gently paddling through the flooded streets selling fruits to the locals.

Aira Force
This is a popular waterfall in the Lake District for good reason. It's perfectly crafted bridge lies across the river as it tumbles down into a narrow gorge. The rocks all around are lush with green from the spray.

Keswick & Derwentwater
The town of Keswick nestled among the hills lies next to Derwentwater, a sprawling picturesque lake with dotted islands and bays. You can see this view easily from the top of Latrigg, a lower peak on the way up to Skiddaw.

Long Shadows
This was another of my favourite scenes. At just the right moment the sun transforms everything into diagonal lines of shadows stretching out all across the landscape. The lush green meadows make for a perfect canvas. Taken just off the beaten track on Latrigg.

Last Light
This was one my favourite scenes to capture. The natural landscape is all there, the tiny village of Troutbeck, near Windermere, is huddled into the hillside, and the sheep are grazing in a lush green meadow. Five minutes of pure golden light backlights the trees and transforms everything.

A quintessential Lake District landscape. Picturesque farms and fields, lush woodland, rolling hills and the town of Keswick nestled by Derwentwater. The climb up the lower slopes of Skiddaw is tough, but the views are some of the best around.

A narrow rocky path leads vaguely to this point along the southern slopes of Buttermere valley. If you can wait till just the right moment, the sun falls below the cloud base and streams down the valley illuminating it in every shade of green. You can see a glimpse of Crummock Water beyond Buttermere.

The blind singer and the absent composer
A Prior #10 / Dirk Pültau
On music and interdisciplinarianism in two works by Ana Torfs
In Kritik des Musikanten, an essay directed against the cult of spontaneous singing and music making in post-war music circles, Adorno recalls a painful anecdote from his youth. He tells of how his father, while out walking in the forest with his mother and sister, asked the two women to sing the song O Täler weit, o Höhen (Oh valleys wide, oh mountains high). The women were overcome with embarrassment, not because someone had expressly asked them to sing – as professional singers they were well used to that –, but because father Wiesengrund asked them to sing spontaneously, to pretend that the surroundings had prompted them to sing as if it was the most natural thing in the world. How wonderful the world is, sing a song! Being asked to sing 'spontaneously', as if the notes 'tickle' within and then bubble up and burst forth, that request paralyzes us and embarrasses us. No one sings spontaneously out of joy or sadness. In Western culture, music has lost its established place in social rituals and spontaneous singing has long been part of an ideology of spontaneous expression. We do still sing in everyday life, but we don't do it at the top of our voices, nor when suddenly asked to do so. More often than not, singing as an ordinary, everyday occurrence just comes over us; we start humming unwittingly when we are alone, or if we have forgotten that there are in fact people around. If we sing in public, then it is often with a tinge of irony, so that others can always laugh at it.
The invitation to sing spontaneously, 'just like that, for no reason', is embarrassing because in so doing one fails to appreciate the dividing line between the natural person (and his way of behaving and speaking) and singing as an aesthetic practice. Every singer feels that he or she must cross a threshold to be able to sing. Nobody sings when cajoled into doing so. We should not be misled by the blessed smile or heartrending facial expression of some professional singers: although popular belief would have it that they are putting something 'of themselves' into their singing, they themselves know only too well that they must succumb to the work as to an alien law. Singing is losing oneself in the work of art. It is an exercise in self-alienation.

When the announcement came that equipment comped with the glitched stones would be deleted, I did log on and Nate the vest to save it.
And then I just... never logged back on again after that. That was literally the last time I was on the game.
I don't really understand why I did what I did. When I saved the vest, I had intended to still log on from time to time, but it never happened, and I gradually lost interest in it. /shrug
And you actually did us a favor (no offense). I mean, though you did not officially quit, and knowing how you feel about the distributor/game, you never came back for the sole purpose of trolling/laughing. You moved on, and left us to our fun. It was very mature (and not making a goodbye thread/making a scene/whatevs, that's twice as mature). I wish everyone was like that.

Shipping Table Rates | v2.3.2
Сreate extremely flexible Magento shipping methods
Create shipping methods for all types of shipping
For example you can create one method for ground shipping, one for air shipping and another one for express delivery. You can set individual rates for each method. These steps will simplify shipping management and you can apply methods for different products.
Estimated delivery dates
Now you can set the number of days for delivery for each shipping method. Thus your customers will know how many days it will take to deliver their order before completing checkout.
Different types of rates available
You can use Magento flat rate shipping as well as percent-based rates – both individually and in combination. For example, you can charge $5 per order plus 1% of product price plus $2 per product.
Set special, higher or lower, Magento table rates for a certain product or a group of products
You can assign different shipping rates for particular types of products. For example, set higher rates for fragile, extra large items, the ones located in this or that warehouse and so on. Just create the necessary options for 'shipping type' attribute and assign them to the products you need. Let's say, shipping type 'Tires' and assign it to all tires. Then create the rate to apply to all products of this type. Ability to set shipping rates for product types enables you to provide correct rates for all products and not lose money on shipping some of them.
Calculation of rates based on a number of criteria
To use advanced Magento shipping calculator specify address, weight, price and quantity parameters for calculation of shipping prices. E.g. Magento shipping calculator enabels you to set a $10 flat rate for orders, which weigh between 2 and 5 pounds, cost between $20 and $50, when 3 or fewer products are purchased. Or 1% of product price + $3 per product fee for orders delivered to California, when there are more than 5 products and they weigh less than 100 pounds.
Show maximal or minimal rate for products with different shipping types
Now you can not only sum up shipping rates of products with different shipping types, but also choose whether to use minimal or maximal rate. For example, if a customer adds to cart two or more products with different shipping table rates you can show him/her minimal or maximal rate for all the products.
Set minimum and maximum shipping rate
You can assign a minimum and a maximum shipping cost to a method. This means if the total calculated is lower than the minimum cost for your shipping, the price will be increased to the minimum cost amount. At the same time if the total calculated is greater than the maximum cost, the price will be decreased to the maximum cost amount.
Partial match for non-numeric zip codes
You can set a rate to apply to zip codes with 'XYZ' in the code. Ranges for UK Post Codes and similar (e.g. from AB2 to AB12) are now also supported.
Rate combinations to suit all possible requirements
You can create any rate combinations. Let's say you have products located on the east coast (and have created shipping type 'CA warehouse' for them) and the rates for delivery to NY and CA will differ a lot. Another example is when you provide free or almost free shipping when a customer buys 5 or more products.
View all the rates for the method at the summary tab
All the rates imported for certain shipping method are shown at the 'Methods and Rates' tab. You can delete them by one, sort and search.
Bonus option: sort methods by priority
Now it is possible to sort shipping methods by your own custom priorities, not only by cost. Please, contact us to activate.
Display shipping method for Shipping Types without rates in the method
The feature is extremely handy when one shipping method can be used for two product types, but it can't be used for one of them. For instance, you've created a shipping method with certain shipping types. One of the items in cart fits the method, and the other product has the type which does not have available rates in the method. Usually in such cases the shipping method just wouldn't be displayed. With the help of this option it's possible to show a shipping method even if one of the items in the order isn't suitable for it. The odd item just would be shipped for free.
Manage shipping rates easily
Set any shipping method as default
With the Auto Shipping tool you can easily set any shipping method created with the extension as default and display it on the shopping cart page so that customers will see the final price including shipping expenses at once.
Manually add and edit magento shipping rates
If some rates become outdated with time, you can either edit or remove them. You can also manually add new records with rates.That feature allows refine shipping rates list by removing useless information.
Add notes and comments for each shipping method
Write special comments for each shipping method to provide customers with any additional information you need. The comments option supports HTML tags, therefore you can easily customize your notes and add pictures if needed. All created comments will be displayed on the shopping cart and checkout pages under the corresponding shipping method.
Simple import of rates
You can import .csv file with shipping rates for the custom methods. It is possible to specify one country or all countries, using "*" symbol, use numeric zip ranges and list several states, separated by comma. E.g. if you specify "*" symbol for 'Quantity From' field, and "10" for 'Quantity To' field, the rate will be applied to all orders with the number of products between 0 and 10.
Auto process files with duplicating conditions
Now you can upload CSV files without worrying that some conditions may duplicate and you would need to sweat searching for them. The module will automatically process files and remove duplicates with the corresponding notice. After receiving the notice you can quickly check the files and choose only the necessary conditions.
Download sample CSV file
Please click the Download button to get the sample CSV file with the list of countries and table rates.
Deep integration with native Magento features
Ability to create rules for prices after discount
You can indicate that a shipping rate should apply to price of the product after discount. Let's say a product costs $100. If after the discount it becomes $70, shipping rate for 70-dollar products will apply to it.
Virtual product support
Virtual products price may be included in the table rate (optional).
Free shipping promotions support
The extension fully supports discount functionality related to shipping in Magento - free qty by coupon, free shipping for particular method etc. You can also have a look at our Shipping Rules extension that lets modify live shipping rates provided by carriers.

General Questions
Product questions
Works without problems. I just installed it in Magento 220.127.116.11.
You can create shipping methods for anything imaginable and within minutes. I like that you can add not only real $ figures to a new shipping table/rate, but percentages as well, and opt for a sum of ea (or not) etc. Very versatile.
Developer is very zippy on email responses as well. A+.
I would recommend this one for creating shipping methods.
However, there is always room for improvement, and here are the things I would suggest for the extension developers:
- Optional methods sorting
- Ignoring rates with duplicate conditions
- Automatic rate import from CSV
These two features will be of great help for large stores, now I have to cope with some minor issues without them.
Also, I've read the previous reviews – but I'd like to say I haven't faced any speed issues whatsoever. Maybe it depends on the server configuration or something.
I'm surprised how much this module save our time and effort! Highly Recommend!
The rates are being correctly calculated allowing us to offer great shipping deals to our clients. Since the module was installed we haven't received any complaints from our customers.
The only unpleasant moment we stumbled upon was the lower checkout speed, but I do hope it will be fixed in the nearest updates.

It's easy to use and very useful.
Quick response to my questions.
I can't wait to buy more extensions from this store!
5 stars!
We want to have specific prices depending on the country, subtotal and weight of the order. This extension does the deal!
Now I have shiping all over the USA and it is really good. Without Amasty I can't reach this.
Thank you,
But I want to mention it's new features, which give the opportunity to set special rates for a certain products or groups. We lost too much time to find such extension. But after we read the documentation for this extension we decided to install it. The extension equaled the hopes. Now we can easy set rates we need for some of our products.
Have a nice day,
Larry S.
And it is good that we can use this methods only only for a individual product but for a group of products.
Magento Connect
Because our shop has lots of different products with can be sold together it is very important to create different shipping rates for such cases. And of course an ability to set rate for different post codes with specific numbers very suitable if you use shipping for different countries and states.

Getting tired of 100-degree temperatures?
Thus far, Chicago and the suburban area has seen four 100-degree days this summer, just three shy of breaking a record set in 1988, said Matt Friedlein, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
Plant care during droughtDepending on air temperatures, trees and shrubs need at least 1 inch of water applied every week to 10 days to cope with lack of rain. Larger, established trees have a wide-spreading root system and need not be watered as frequently, perhaps every 2 to 3 weeks. Let the top few inches of soil dry out between watering to avoid saturation and to allow roots and soil organisms to breathe.
ŸWater slowly and deeply so water percolates down into the soil
ŸUse soaker hoses and drip irrigation to discharge even streams of slow, trickling water directly to the roots beneath trees and shrubs.
ŸWater small trees by letting a hose run slowly at its base until the ground is moist. For large trees, let the hose run at various points around the tree's drip line.
ŸWater shrubs at the plant base and under the spread of branches until soil is moistened to a depth of 6 to 8 inches.
ŸWhen using a sprinkler system, place a container nearby to measure when you have distributed 1 inch of water to the soil.
ŸPrioritize watering, caring for newly-transplanted trees and shrubs first, then those that have been in the ground from 2 to 5 years. Next, water "specimen" trees or important trees, then all other plants.
ŸPlants absorb more water in the early morning, before the warming sun causes evaporation.
ŸAvoid using fertilizer during drought conditions. Fertilizer salts can cause root injury when soil moisture is limited.
Morton Arboretum
The high for today was 99 degrees at about 3:15 p.m. at O'Hare International Airport.
"We are forecast to hit 100 degrees today," Friedlein said.
It's likely the 1988 record will be broken this summer, though perhaps not immediately. Some respite from the heat is expected starting Wednesday with cooler weather sweeping through from the north. However, temperatures will be back in the upper 90s next week, according to the National Weather Service.
The Chicago area gets 100-degree temperatures once every other year on average. Before this year, the last time Chicago hit 100 was on July 24, 2005, Friedlein said.
"In the 140 years of Chicago records, there's been 100-degree temperatures on 65 of those days," he said. "This is a higher end summer. It's very rare to have the heat that we are (experiencing)."
There's also been a prolonged dryness with moderate to severe drought conditions across northern Illinois and northern Indiana.
"The dryness does not look to be breaking anytime in the next week," Friedlein said. "There is a chance for storms tonight and tomorrow night across Chicago. It is not going to be widespread and not enough to put any kind of a dent in the drought."

You might love a film about unspeakably wealthy whiteboy stock traders that opens by quoting Biggie Smalls. Then again, you might hate it. The citation is surely reverent, but it also reveals a certain confusion concerning early Biggie rhymes, and maybe hip-hop in general.

Skip to comments.Vanity: Who is tagging all these threads with "johnhofmeister" and why??
Posted on 10/15/2011 7:14:47 AM PDT by Notary Sojac
Goes back to 2005, maybe earlier.
I know all about stuning, beebers, showers, moose, sisters.....but is this one that I've missed??
..ask the mods
Before my time, Notary Sojac... but if you find out, please let me know. This is hugh and series!
I don't know.
Maybe you should ping some of the older members... Cripplecreek has been here since 2003 and Null and void has been here since 2001.
I'm stuned!
Thank you for this thread! While we are on the topic of The Unexplained Mysteries of FreeRepublic...
What is hugh and series? And what is a beeber and why should you set it to stun?
LOL!! Me, too.
It's not "stun", it's "stune".
It's my understanding they're all just classic misspellings.
I've been around since 2005 and I have no idea.
From my understanding, someone posted "this is hugh and series" late one evening. They meant to post "this is huge and serious". Rumor has it that one should not inbibe and post on FR or little mistakes like that take a life form of their own.
The origins of stuned beeber: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1162751/posts
These I can answer.
Hugh and Series is from the South Park episode in which Al Gore is satirized as hunting the dreaded ManBearPig.
That is HYSTERICAL!! I always wanted an inside view of what goes on before a ZOT!! You're a doll, bigheadfred!
You all are in luck, I happen to have a few VRWC codebooks left, only $19.95 plus S&H.
Hurry, while supplies last!
ALL YOUR johnhofmeister are belong to us.....
I've been here a lot longer than those guys. Never noticed it.
John Hofmeister, upon retirement from Shell Oil Company in 2008, founded and heads the not-for-profit (501(c)(3)), nation-wide membership association, Citizens for Affordable Energy. This Washington, D.C.-registered, public policy education firm promotes sound U.S. energy security solutions for the nation, including a range of affordable energy supplies, efficiency improvements, essential infrastructure, sustainable environmental policies and public education on energy issues.
Hofmeister serves as the Chairman of the National Urban League and is a member of the U.S. Department of Energy's Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technical Advisory Committee, and the Sodexo Business Advisory Board. He also serves on the boards of the Foreign Policy Association, Strategic Partners, LLC, the Gas Technology Institute and the Center for Houston's Future. Hofmeister is a Fellow of the National Academy of Human Resources. He also is a past Chairman and serves as a Director of the Greater Houston Partnership.
Hofmeister earned Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in Political Science from Kansas State University.
John Hofmeister is also the author of "Why We Hate the Oil Companies: Straight Talk from an Energy Insider."
I had no idea! Some guy makes a post in 2004 and people still joke about it?
I need to be more carefool about the posts I make. :)
ez has been here since 1998 and still has no clue. :(
Whatever you do, don't do this!
or this - Beeber
or this - Unnngh..
or this - Shower
All will be revealed, if Jim THompson authorizes it. Until then, 'Hold muh beer, Laz is about to hit it!'
Well.... then it is still a FR mystery!!
If you think that is something, you'll have to ask the 98s about "a moose bit my sister"
And "carefool" is what we all strive for ;)
>>Hugh and Series is from the South Park episode in which Al Gore is satirized as hunting the dreaded ManBearPig.<<
I am pretty sure the usage at FR precedes that episode by many years...
..it was a great thread *smiles*
Even better, IMO, was Al Baby's colonoscopy thread....
or "Deep in the Hurtgen Forest" lol.
WHAT is going on with the keywords on this thread???
LOL. In the original game it was spelled yuor. All yuor base are belong to us!
Me, too.
IIRC your man Hofmeister ran off to Rio with classygreeneyedblonde.
I don't know, but I think we may be looking at a Catagory 3 Thread.
"Catagory", not category. :)
Laz is gonna hit Jim T? I didn't think he was his type.
Seriously though, there used to be a thread with FReeper culture references and their history. Someone pointed it out to me once many years ago.
Laz is gonna hit Jim T? I didn't think he was his type.
Seriously though, there used to be a thread with FReeper culture references and their history. Someone pointed it out to me once many years ago.
Naw, Laz wouldn't hit Jim T. That is just an expression from the current archives of inanities we use at FR. You should meet a few of the dolls Laz has dated ...
I;m new, can you explain to me what you are talking about?
For one of the best "ZOTS" ever ... Read #78 on this thread
So I have to ask: why is someone trying to draw attention to it? For what purpose?
I haven't seen that in soooo long! ROFL! Thanks for the re-post.
No, I knew what 'hit' means relating to Laz. I was making a joke about Laz not swinging that way.
Always thought it was "John H. of Meister" - where the hell is Meister???
Where? ... He's having his beeper stuned

Whether you think of him as Superman, D Howard or Dwight the Tower Howard, he is a force to be reckoned with. Dwight Howard led the league the past three years in average rebounds per game (14.2, 13.8, 13.2 respectively) as well as in blocks per game the past two years (2.9 and 2.8). These numbers only speak part of his tale, as he has become a mentor and role model for many. His dedication to his faith and his charity work is close to unmatched in the NBA, and the Orlando Magic are lucky to have him.
