English National Ballet – Giselle (Khan premiere) – Manchester
★★★✰✰ As UK ballet commissions go, it's probably the most anticipated of the season and really a career defining decision by Tamara Rojo. This is the way dance moves forward, by the art talking creative risk and if it's not the full ten tenths yet, then it's another solid step along the way…
Book – Peter Wright: Wrights and Wrongs – my life in dance
His is an insider's account, complete with waspish comments and cameos of the famous people he encountered…
Francesco Ventriglia – Artistic Director of the Royal New Zealand Ballet
Nearly 2 years into his directorship at RNZB, Michelle Potter talks to Francesco Ventriglia about his life before joining the company and broad hopes for the company.
American Ballet Theatre – Swan Lake – New York
★★★✰✰ Murphy is a sensual Odette, something made all the more effective by Stearns' tenderness.
National Ballet of Canada – Giselle – Toronto
★★★★✰ On opening night, Svetlana Lunkina in the title role gave one of those unique performances in which the ballerina completely disappears into her heroine, putting her entire living self into the role.
Royal Swedish Ballet – Juliet and Romeo – Washington
★★★✰✰ The production nevertheless intrigues the eye and is fueled by the exceptional dancing of the company's talented and dedicated dancers.
New York City Ballet – Serenade, Hallelujah Junction, Duo Concertant, Western Symphony – New York
★★★★✰ Balanchine himself once said that Serenade is "many things to many people." If it is one thing to City Ballet, it is the single ballet which they are expected to do perfectly every time.
Scottish Ballet – Swan Lake (Dawson premiere) – Glasgow
★★★✰✰ Sophie Martin's Odette/Odille, despite the costume, steals the show with layers of dramatic nuance on top of the pushed lines of Dawson's steps.
Royal Ballet – The Winter's Tale – London
★★★★✰ Wheeldon has succeeded in turning an often intractable play into an emotionally moving ballet.
Royal Ballet – Giselle – London
★★★★✰ Lamb's mad scene is all the more effective by starting as though she's a broken porcelain doll, uncomprehending. She retreats into her herself in disbelief at Albrecht's treachery.

Yet again the Trocks had a fabulous critical reception during their Autumn UK tour and mentioned in nearly every review was Chase Johnsey, or in Trocks speak their petite ballerina Yakatarina Verbosovich. So what makes Chase/Yakatarina tick? Time for an interview…
Royal Ballet – The Nutcracker – London
This Nutcracker production has the best conclusion of any…
New York City Ballet – The Nutcracker – New York
Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker… has been described as a "symphony of childhood"; it is that, and more.
Bolshoi Ballet – The Lady of the Camellias – live cinema screening
Dance on film is a tricky thing. On the one hand it provides a unique opportunity to see dance up close and to see foreign repertoires and artists; on the other, it lacks the intangible live chemistry that can electrify an opera house.
Cannes Dance Festival – Ballet du Capitole de Toulouse: The Beast and Beauty, Lyon Opera Ballet: Kylian bill – Cannes
For the festival Brigitte Lefèvre chose an eclectic mixture of popular and audacious programmes from twelve different companies – mainly regional French companies… some smaller independent groups and international companies from Korea, Argentina and Spain.

June 26, 2013: Time for another look at the trading summary, gleaned from The Nightly, for Sovereign Lithium (SRBL) (click here) following our May 21, 2013 advisory.
With the Pump & Dump continuing to go on strong, we can see that while the share price briefly regained some of its lost ground in the days after our previous advisory, the share price is retracing its way back to the lows. 56% of shareholder value has been lost since the SRBL Pump & Dump began last February, and with a book value of under a penny, massive dilution continuing, and very limited, if any, exploration activity actually going on (according to the company's own expense report), we see shares dropping to the single digit pennies before the end of the year.

New Hanover won the Mideastern Conference football title outright for the first time since 1994 with a perfect 6-0 conference record.
The streaking Wildcats, who have won seven in a row, took their potent offense to Southport Friday night and routed South Brunswick 48 – 0.
"It was a complete game for us," said New Hanover Head Coach Earl Smith.
With a balanced offense led by senior quarterback Burke Estes, six different Wildcats reached the endzone. Junior running back Keegan Santos had two touchdowns, while Bradley Shackleford, Traquan Age, Javeon Hall, Garrett Walston and Malcolm Hill had one apiece.
"It goes back to Burke Estes, our quarterback. He does a great job of reading receivers," said Smith, who also praised the guys standing in front of Estes. "Our offensive line does a good job of giving Burke time to throw the football, and every one of our receivers is a threat."
New Hanover Offensive Coordinator Darryl Raynor agreed, saying that protection, as well as veteran leadership, has been key.
"It starts with our offensive line," Raynor said. "We have a senior offensive line that's come together."
Smith also gave credit to his defense. Led by senior safety Ronnie Beatty, they tallied four interceptions on their way to shutting out the Cougars, who were winless this season in the Mideastern Conference. After taking a commanding 34-0 lead at the half, Smith pulled his starters to prevent injuries and gave his backups some playing time.
The Wildcats, who finished with an overall record of 9-2, await their playoff seeding and opponent. The New Hanover coaches intend to have their team ready no matter who they draw.
"We just got to get healed up and do the things we're supposed to do and win another game on Friday," Raynor said.
"Now there's no second chances," said Smith.
Other scores:
Hoggard 17, Topsail 0
After a scoreless first quarter, the Vikings scored a field goal with 8:27 left to go in the second quarter and never looked back, blanking the Pirates in Hampstead.
"It was a great team win tonight," said Hoggard Head Coach Craig Underwood. "All three phases of the game worked really hard."
Underwood, whose team finished second in the conference with a 5-1 record, said he was especially pleased with his defensive line led by seniors Omar Jones, Donte Bryant, Daniel Brunson and Antonio Moore.
"I'm very proud of those guys leading the way to a shut out victory," Underwood said.
The Vikings ended the season with an overall record of 7-4, earning a postseason berth.
"We're excited about the playoffs," said Underwood. "It's a new season, so we'll see what we can do."
Topsail, who played a tough game against New Hanover last week, finished the season with a 2-4 record in the Mideastern Conference and a 5-6 record overall.

just saw this after googling....would love to see more detailed clear pix.the overall shape of the fingerboard reminds me of the svarabat, a quite obscure instrument used mostly in Karnatic tradition.
i just scored a neat vintage sarod. I miss my wonderful old Hemen that I'd sold some time back- just wasn't playing it enough to justify hoarding such a good sarod.
so this new fixer upper has a decal on the peghead "Simran- Made in India".needs strings of course and hopefully the fingerboard is OK! it has 10 main strings and 11 tarafs.
will post pix when I get it. I may also rehead it and do some inside refinements which it likely would benefit from.
I'm hugely grateful to the many sarod lovers who have painstakingly posted their detailed experiments and developments of sarod construction and physics.
I'd offer that I made a sambar antler jaba some years back and it became my all-time favorite.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
In observance of the Thanksgiving holiday this week, it might be a good time to take stock of the world and our place in it. As bombs and rockets explode on battlefields around the globe, we can take comfort in our relative security at home even as U.S. troops remain in the danger zone in Afghanistan. The bitterness and rancor from the election just past is starting to recede in most quarters, though there are some for whom the fear and loathing for the other side will remain, although hopefully we won't have to hear it so much anymore.
I just recently finished a judging "blitz" of several local contests and had some darn fine examples of competition style barbecue with only a few that were below par. I wanted to give a little love to the folks at the Winnie Rice Festival for really putting on a fine event and treating the judges well and making sure everyone had a great time. If you ever get the opportunity or have the desire to go judge a contest, the Rice Festival is a great place to start.

The flavour is slightly sweet, making this perfect with green beans tossed in a strong mustard vinaigrette.
100g plain flour
100g ice-cold unsalted butter, cut into 1cm chunks
Salt and pepper
About 175ml milk
2 large onions, peeled and sliced
1 big pinch saffron threads
25ml olive oil
¾ tbsp cornflour
2 large eggs
75g gruyère, cut into small cubes
Put the flour, butter and half a teaspoon of salt in a bowl, pour in 50ml milk and work to a lumpy, soft dough, using more milk if you need it. Flour a worktop and roll out the dough into a 25cm square - the cold blobs of butter will make rolling a bit awkward, so don't worry about being too precise. Fold the pastry in by thirds, roll, fold again and chill for half an hour. Repeat the fold, roll fold, chill routine twice more.
Cook the onion, saffron and oil in a pan with a lid for 10 minutes, until the onions are really soft. Beat in the cornflour, then 125ml milk, and bring to the boil, stirring. Take off the heat, season to taste and beat in the eggs. Roll out the pastry thinly, lay it over a 20-25cm tart tin and press it into the base and sides, leaving a bit draped over the edge. Spoon in the onion mix, stir in the gruyère and bake at 200C (fan-assisted 180C)/ 400F/gas mark 6 for 25-30 minutes, until puffed and golden.

I have really enjoyed Work Ready as it has taught me a lot of life skills and the work experience has definitely helped me. I wanted to work in a shop, but after doing work experience I have decided that wasn't right for me, so now I have started work experience in a hairdressers and I know that's what I want to do in future.more

I would highly recommend the apprenticeship route, combining the practical experience of work with studying. The staff at RMW Electrical Services have taught me so much and the tutors at College are great. I've learnt a lot about electrics, of course, but also people skills, dealing with a variety of people on site. It's very different from school - a really motivating way to learn.more

I regularly go to Spain for some sun and thought it would be handy and polite to be able to speak a little Spanish.

My main goal is to be a fashion designer and friends recommended this course. It was a little scary to start with and a bit more challenging than I thought, but it also gave me a lot of creative freedom. So far my favourite part of the course has been the end of year fashion show, as it was good to take part in a live show and to experience the fast paced, sometimes hectic, environment.more

The Apprenticeship has given me a lot more confidence in my role as a shift manager. I feel as though I now deal with situations in a more confident manner because of what I have learned during the Apprenticeship. The course has given me the right tools and knowledge to deal with situations, such as conflict and prioritising tasks.

IN2 Access & Control Ltd. highly recommend the apprenticeship programme run by Shrewsbury College. We are committed investors to local community, making an apprentice a logical decision.

IN2 Access haven't looked back, our two year partnership with Shrewsbury Collage has been a resounding success and one which we are excited to continue.more

I chose photography as a means to express myself. Photography as a medium has unlimited possibilities. When starting this course, I knew very little about photography but after just one week, I had learnt more in just one week than I had learnt in a year at my previous college. Every day is a chance to challenge yourself and you always come away learning something new. The classes are very friendly and everyone has their own style. Despite having our own styles everyone is open with each other and helps each other out with ways to improve or taking photos etc… The teacher is fantastic, very supportive and always helps you achieve above and beyond. Photography is your sight of the world, the only limitation for it is your mind.more

I did Levels 1 and 2 here at the College, before progressing to Level 3. I wanted to do Level 3 so that I felt more confident for when I go and work in a salon. All the experience we get with working with clients in the Evolve Academy is great and I've done some work experience in the commercial salon, Evolve, which was great fun and I found it really helpful.
I normally struggle with coursework, but the tutors have been extremely supportive and have always helped when I've needed it. The practical side to the course is definitely my favourite aspect. This course has definitely set me up and made me ready to work in the industry.

I started my A Levels at sixth form but soon realised that my real passion lied in performing. I've really enjoyed my course here and have learnt a lot whilst having fun. I've previously had acting experience, but the shows I've done with the College have been a lot more challenging and therefore rewarding. Guys and Dolls has been the hardest so far, as I've also been involved with the choreography, but it's definitely been worth all the hard work.
One of the best things about the course and College is the amount of support you get from tutors and peers. I'm progressing on to the HNC course at Shrewsbury College because I feel very settled here and it's proven to be a great place to learn and give me the industry experience I need to progress onto drama schools in London.

Music is my life and the great thing about the course is that it really is tailored to each student's needs. The more you put in, the more you get out of it. We do a lot of peer focused work too, so we are always helping each other and we all get on really well - which is great!
We get a lot of performing experience, as well as continuous access to the studios and facilities, which is great!

I was encouraged to study A Levels by my parents but it wasn't really the route I wanted to take. I want to be a mental health nurse so I decided to study Health and Social Care instead, as the hands-on practical aspect of the course is what I will need to progress into a career. I decided to enrol on the course at Shrewsbury College even though it isn't the closest option for me because of its reputation and new facilities.
When I started I was using the college bus, which picked me up from Donnington, travel was never an issue and although the days are slightly longer, the ease of using the college bus definitely helped.

Since being here I've been to Greece and Italy which were a great way to learn about other people's cultures.

I am a full-time physiotherapist, so this course is escapism from my day to day work life. Coming here in the evening is a good way of switching off from my day job and it's really enjoyable. I have learnt a lot of new skills and soon realised that there is a lot of elaborate technicalities involved with good brickwork.more

Our apprentices are of real benefit to us as on the job training ensures the learner is trained in a way that suits our company. Apprentices are paid to learn in a career they are interested in and are well supported by the College and our own staff.

I tried a course at Yale before coming to Shrewsbury College but didn't enjoy the environment or atmosphere at all. A friend of mine recommended this college and said that the atmosphere and tutors were fantastic, which has proven to be true. I work with my dad as a contractor, so doing this course part-time has been great for me. It is tiring and long days travelling here from Oswestry, but the kind of industry carpentry is, it will mean working long days. There is a really good group of people doing this course and I think we are all friends. I have a lot of gratitude for our tutors who always do as much as possible to help.more

I wanted a change in career, as I previously worked in the military as an instructor so I already know that I enjoy working with children.
The great thing about this course is that the routes to progression are easily accessible, and if you want to progress through the levels, you get the option to do it all in one college. Potentially I am thinking of going onto the PGCE course when I finish this course. I really enjoy my time at the college and everyone is friendly. The quick response I get for emails and communication outside of my course time is great, the staff are always willing to help.

I had to complete my end of year final major project with a real-life brief and decided upon a music video. I contacted local band The Rainbreakers via social media and was invited to one of their local gigs. I hadn't known the guys in the band prior to contacting them, but they were extremely friendly and we were mutually excited about making the video. I was approached by their manager at the gig and asked if I wanted to go with them the following day to the Chester Rocks festival where they performed. I jumped at the opportunity and the experience was invaluable. I shot footage of the guys backstage, and from the press box during their set – the press were asked to leave as I filmed, which felt strange, but exciting. I was given creative freedom with this project, which I really enjoyed, but the band had some good ideas, which I have incorporated into the final product.more

After a meeting with a tutor, who believed I would benefit from a positive challenge that would give me the opportunity to push myself further, I started the ABE. Studying ABE fits in with being a parent so gives me the opportunity to study a higher level course without having to take extensive travel or being away from home on a long term basis.

I studied on the HND Sport Studies at Shrewsbury College and chose to return to do a PGCE because it was the cheaper option. I had student grants for the course but no student loan as the course was a lot cheaper than going to university. I also worked part-time alongside doing the course and I was able to get a lot of support from the college… more so that I would have at university.
My best memory from my PGCE course is the friendship groups on my course and the peer support I had on the course. Studying at Shrewsbury College helped me to get the job I have now.

The producers of Stargate Universe still hope to finish out the story that they started — one way or another. Series co-creator Brad Wright has made his first public comments on Syfy's cancellation of the series (story), stating that they have not given up yet.
"We haven't given up on finishing the story we started," Wright told Show Patrol. He told the site that he and executives at MGM — the studio that owns the Stargate franchise — are currently exploring several options for continuing the series in some form.
Wright heard about the cancellation news while he was on a trip, according to the site. He and several members of the SGU cast were reportedly at sea (and incommunicado) on board an aircraft carrier when Deadline.com broke the story one week ago, citing a Syfy announcement.
The cancellation was quickly confirmed via Syfy's Twitter account, after which it became evident that at least some of the show's cast hadn't been informed by the producers yet (story).
Wright said that, in spite of the bad news, he was encouraged to return to find that many people were upset by it. "It's heartening to see so many people upset about Syfy's cancellation of the show," he said, "but it's important to remember that their license fee represented only a portion of our total budget."

SGU is also licensed internationally, and supported by online and DVD sales. MGM announced this week that its bankruptcy restructuring is now complete, and that the studio has secured $500 million in financing to kick-start its film and television productions — some of which may likely go into keeping the Stargate franchise alive.
Executive producer Joseph Mallozzi also commented at his blog on the current state of Stargate Universe's future: "Obviously, it doesn't look good," he said. "But is this the end? Well, the Syfy cancellation makes it very long odds that we'll be producing a third season next year. But is this the end? … The honest answer is: I don't know.
"No, that's not entirely true. The truth is I do know some — but only enough to say it doesn't look good and it's very log odds we'll be producing a third season next year — yet still only enough to say I can't say this is definitely the end. At least for now."
Just what Universe's odds are for finishing up its major storyline — and whether this might take the form of a third season on another network, a DVD movie or two, or something completely different — remains to be seen.
Read the full story now at Show Patrol, and stick with GateWorld for the latest! The final episodes of Stargate Universe air this spring on Syfy in the United States.
Well isn't this a nice Christmas present?
Merry Christmas to all!
On another network would be interesting. Which one?
Yay, we have some hope now…I wonder if "Hope" will be the name of one of the episodes to come.
MGM will hopefully use this money to film the SG-1 and SGA movies that we've all been waiting for!
It amazes me how one channel can have such power over the future of one show maybe you could approach Sky or someone like that. I was just getting into the story it was coming together nicely. Loved it.
Hopefully we can get both the SG-1 and SGA movies, along with SGU's third season on a different channel.
@General Jumper One Maybe Hope will be the episode SGU's ratings spike to 3 million. :o
we will never rest until SGU returns for another season!
Imagine this!
Stargate: UK
I like L&O: UK. Maybe Jaime Barber could do double duty. Just a thought.
Good eggnog!
Well, if all this somehow gets us an SGA movie I'm all for it!
Hope!!! this notice make me so happy!!!
The SGU story will probably continue in books or audiobooks, which is a shame since it is a very visual part of the Stargate lorE.
Please learn from your mistakes. Fans want SG-1, SGA or something new in the typical stargate style. Otherwise it won't be watched again…
I really hope that if they do it in film format, it supersedes the SGA or SG1 films – at least those two have stories which are wrapped up. SGU's situation is currently like being part way through the last ever copy of a book, and then someone coming up and ripping it out of your hands, and burning it.
(Plus it would greatly irritate the people who have been constantly flooding any SGU news story with negative comments (regardless of what the stroies are about) too, which would always be a plus! ;))
just make a movie to finish it off. no books or comics please. i want to WATCH it.
maybe a subscription channel for sg only on the Internet.. and DVD… let the sci-fi (bogus syfy) channel rot … there needs to be a real sci-fi network that actually cares about it's fans…. sG franchis eis a cash cow, and there must be more than enough investors that will back it up…
Well this is potentially great news to get this Christmas Eve! Fingers crossed!
I'll take anything I can get from the franchise. Even if they move it to a premium channel I'll be signing up.
I am delighted to see that Bred and team won't give up without a fight. We don't know details yet, but something what Bred said made me curious:
""It's heartening to see so many people upset about Syfy's cancellation of the show," he said, "but it's important to remember that their license fee represented only a portion of our total budget.""
Does that mean that SyFy didn't paid for all production costs and actually they need to find a replacement only for part of it? I didn't know that.
Also it is interesting that Joseph in blog entry linked above mentions that there is quite a hope to bring team back on studio. It seems that there is a hope. Yes, hope can fail us, but hope also can be fulfilled. So let's hope for the best.
If Syfy's fee represented only a portion, couldn't they continue producing the show for the syndicated market?
I'd hate to see this end up on a crappy comic or novel. I want live action, I want actors, I want SFX, not drawings or words on a piece of paper. That's not Stargate,.
ooooh… maybe they could move to Starz.
I'm hoping for AMC. It's the only channel out there that gets it. I mean, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Walking Dead… All shows that nobody wanted, and look at those shows now. Some of the best TV out there.
As successful as Walking Dead has been, on more than one occasion reviewers have pointed out that it doesn't have a big budget due to being on AMC, so AMC may not be able to afford something like Stargate SGU.
Starz may not be able to afford it either. As good as Spartacus is and looks, it does rely far too much on green screen. I doubt we'd enjoy seeing green screen replace location shooting when they go to other planets.
Is it too corny to say "the ship on SGU was called Destiny for a reason"?
I really hope they get the chance to finish the SGU story. I don't mind it ending, just as long as it ends with a conclusion, not a cliffhanger.
I'm sure the season will end on a cliffhanger, most likely the Lucian Alliance's attack on Earth.
If Atlantis is still on Earth, would they use it to defend the planet, thus leading to a full-blown crossover on season 3?
Perhaps if there were cousins who married on the show, or a special NASCAR episode, something SyFy's new audience could relate to?
I'm enjoying it, I'd love to see it finish. I'd love to see the franchise move to a channel where the average viewer has a family tree which forks. Fine with me.
Remember Me
Will you watch the new Devlin/Emmerich Stargate movie?

|[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-1464) FSDirectory.getDirectory always creates index path
|Sat, 22 Nov 2008 17:58:44 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1464?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12649954#action_12649954 ] Andrzej Bialecki commented on LUCENE-1464: ------------------------------------------- Ok, after reading LUCENE-773 I reluctantly agree. I think that my doubts are related to the fact that now we can get a valid instance of Directory, which points to an invalid filesystem path, one which perhaps cannot be created at all, and we are going to discover this only when opening IndexWriter with create=true flag. In all other situations we are going to get an IOException about the missing "segments" file, which may be misleading. For this reason I thought it would be better to test the presence of the index path immediately, and create the directory if necessary in Directory only when it's really needed, i.e. when we intend to use Directory for writing. Essentially, I prefer to distinguish between read-only and read-write Directory on the API level of Directory. Anyway, as I said, I'm fine with this patch. > FSDirectory.getDirectory always creates index path > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-1464 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1464 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Store > Affects Versions: 2.4, 2.9 > Reporter: Andrzej Bialecki > Assignee: Michael McCandless > Attachments: LUCENE-1464.patch > > > This was reported to me as a Luke bug, but going deeper it proved to be a non-intuitive (broken?) behavior of FSDirectory. > If you use FSDirectory.getDirectory(File nonexistent) on a nonexistent path, but one that is located under some existing parent path, then FSDirectory:174 uses file.mkdirs() to create this directory. One would expect a variant of the method with a boolean flag to decide whether or not to create the output path. However, the API with "create" flag is now deprecated, with a comment that points to IndexWriter's "create" flag. This comment is misleading, because the indicated path is created anyway in the file system just by calling FSDirectory.getDirectory(). > I propose to do one of the following: > * reinstate the variant of the method with "create" flag. In case if this flag is false, and the index directory is missing, either return null or throw an IOException, > * keep the API as it is now, but either return null or throw IOException if the index dir is missing. This breaks the backwards compatibility, because now users are required to do file.mkdirs() themselves prior to calling FSDirectory.getDirectory(). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
