Real reviews, from customers like you.
The team at Andersen Boats were brilliant. The handover was excellent and we were given some very detailed and comprehensive training in boat handling and operation of locks before we started. This was very much appreciated as this was our first narrow boat holiday. Nothing was too much trouble and everything we needed was provided. Fantastic holiday, can't wait to do it again.
We really enjoyed our first boating holiday and would definitely do it again. My only suggestion would be, that for complete novices like us, an 'idiots guide' be given, snowing routes and places to eat/of interest and a basic idea of travel times between places and/or bridges.
Had a really good two weeks. Weather could have been better, but the boat was brilliant. Lovely and warm. Hot shower and excellent cooker. The boat yard was very helpful and friendly.
Fantastic time
Excellent staff nice and friendly and also the boat was very good would certainly use again.
Fantastic holiday; friendly, helpful staff, expert tuition, excellent location. Would recommend to anyone who fancies an adventure or some peace and quiet.

A Clarksville man was charged with shooting at his ex-girlfriend.
On July 2, a woman went to the home of her ex-boyfriend, Corby Blouvet II, 47, to try to get her keys. The woman instead found her gun, which was in a gun box, and took it with her, the warrant said.
When the woman was trying to leave, Blouvet blocked her car with his truck. He then went inside, retrieved a pistol and fired several shots. Three shots hit the passenger side of the woman's car. She fled the scene, then called police. ...

I would never ever make a limited edition. Perhaps I would make three prints at a time. Plus minus 1 or 2!
A year or two or ten I would make new prints from the same negative. On different paper possible, because the old one is gone or I want to.
Or I want to try a new developer or tone differently.
I will be a bit wiser or dumber in the future and will change so I will print diffenrtly. I never take notes of my darkroom work so that it will not take me down the wrong route in the future.
As an artist professional or amateur one should follow ones believes and state of mind. Not what Galleries or business men expact from one.
Then again this makes life easy for me because I hate taking notes and am lazy.

Steve and Olivia considered Heather's possible demise by the pier. Connie came upon the couple and wanted an exclusive from Steve about Todd's statement. He refused, and when she learned they were going to the party she insisted on going with them.
Maxie was on the phone with Britt at home, urging her to stop bothering her about Sabrina. Frisco arrived with a pink stuffed bear. She didn't want to see him but he refused to give up. Through tears he told her that he wanted to know her, and for her to know him. She agreed to go with him and, recalling Felicia's plans with Mac, he told her to get ready to go to The Haunted Star.
At the hospital, Sabrina stressed about what happened with Officer Carlson, so Felix whisked her off to the party.
Luke found AJ snooping around the Quartermaine mansion, but Tracy had the remaining relish in a vial around her neck. Luke thought they were both absurd. Later, Tracy and Luke chatted about finding Franco's daughter, whom Luke accidentally called Laura. He then told Tracy all about his breakup with Anna, who told him that theirs was not a great love, like her and Duke or him and Laura. Later, Tracy thanked her father for leaving the relish to her, and trusting her to save ELQ.
Getting ready for the party at The Haunted Star, Starr and Lulu decided to change distributors after they tried to short them five cases. Lulu thought they would make great partners and Starr agreed. Michael arrived and told Starr all about Todd's arrest at the pier and his claim that John killed Heather. Then, Dante arrived with Sonny, who he thought could maybe meet someone at the party. Lulu doubted he was ready to move on from Kate since it didn't look like Kate was ever coming back. Outside, Felicia thought about Frisco's declaration of love. Then, Mac told her he couldn't believe how lucky he was to have her and they started making out. Inside, Sonny refused to tell Michael who the source of the ELQ leak was because Connie asked him not to. Then, Steve, Olivia and Connie arrived. Michael believed Sonny and Connie was glad that was all cleared up. She then turned to Starr and told her that she wanted The Haunted Star back. They fought until Sonny pulled Connie away and talked her down. She admitted she was all alone. He told her that wasn't true and kissed her. Felicia and Maxie arrived and Frisco acted surprised to see Felicia and Mac, who soon decided to go home.
Felix dragged Sabrina into the party, who feels compelled to tell Dante that she killed his friend but Felix stopped her. Later, Maxie asked Sabrina if she was okay and Sabrina started crying and she told Maxie that she had killed a police officer. Maxie watched her break down and later told Frisco that he was making a mistake trying to get to know her. He urged her to tell him what she had done. Meanwhile, Michael gave Starr a necklace with a card that said "I love you." She reciprocated his feelings and they kissed. Later, Lulu found a present under the bar she thought was from Dante. She opened it and it appears to be a smaller version of the Ice Princess. Dante assured her that it was not from him.
Her sons gave Elizabeth a valentine at home right before Laura showed up for a surprise visit. She doled out gifts and caught Elizabeth up on the little she knew about Lucky and said that he was still finding himself. Laura then urged Elizabeth to get out there again and find love. She then admitted she saw Luke, but he was busy kissing Anna and it was obvious he had moved on. Elizabeth wondered if Laura had, but they were interrupted by AJ with flowers. Elizabeth stammered a bit until he told her that they weren't from him but from her grandmother Audrey. They both were a little flustered. Inside, Laura got a text asking where she was and hurried off, but not before telling Elizabeth that it was never too late for love. AJ apologized for dropping in but said he needed someone to talk to. Then, Elizabeth invited him to stay over for spaghetti and a chat.
Laura hung out by the pier. She tried to calm the person down who was on the phone, and told them that she would see them soon. Luke then spotted her from outside The Haunted Star.
Spinelli arrived at Ellie's with the Valentine's works. He set up her favorite dinner then gave her a diamond bracelet. Next, he put on her favorite song and supported her while they danced. Later, he got her a copy of her favorite non-sci fi movie, Up. They both cried as they watched it.
At the Haunted Star, Lulu opened a gift, it appeared to be a replica of the Ice Princess. Neither she nor Dante knew what it was and the card had no name. They decided to go home and ask Michael and Starr to stay just as they were trying to sneak off themselves, foiling their plans. Later, Olivia watched Sonny and Connie make out and wondered if she was having another vision. Connie then pushed Sonny off and he chased her. Meanwhile, Michael was ready to go find an empty room and dashed off with Starr. Sabrina couldn't stop thinking about the cop she killed. Felix insisted on going back to work with her. Maxie pointed Sabrina out to Frisco and told him that she had ruined her life by making her believe she killed one of her patients. He pressed her for a motive and she told him that Britt was blackmailing her and that baby she was carrying wasn't Dante and Lulu's. She then told him about her miscarriage and subsequent hookup with Spinelli. Frisco held her close and assured her that he would take care of Britt because he was very experienced at dirty tricks.
Sonny caught Connie by the guest rooms. He told her that didn't want to ignore what they had anymore, that it wasn't about Kate and that he wanted her. They started making out then stumbled into a room just as a shocked Michael and Starr turned the corner and saw them. Later, after they had sex, Connie told Sonny that sex had always been a weapon for her but now she felt like she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. Then, she added that she was scared that his feelings weren't real, but Sonny reassured her that they were. He then said that he would take care of Diane and her defense and they were right where they belonged. She started to cry and told him that this was the happiest she had been her whole life. Later, Kate woke up, scared.
Outside the club, Laura and Luke said hello. She told him that she saw him yesterday, but that he was too busy with Anna for her to say hi. Then, Lulu and Dante interrupted them on their way out and they all gushed about the baby. Then, Lulu showed them the gift from her admirer and Luke and Laura both looked sick and said they had seen this before. Luke told them that it looked like the original Ice Princess, an uncut diamond. They thought it could be from Helena but wondered what message she was sending to Lulu. Dante and Lulu then left and alone, Luke and Laura had a bad feeling. Suddenly, Scott Baldwin appeared.
Michael and Starr returned to an empty dance floor and agreed that holding each other was the best thing in the world.
Steve and Olivia returned home and noticed the door was open. They saw nothing wrong but were both a little jumpy. She wondered again about her vision of him with Sabrina and headed to check out the shower herself. Later, they had sex on the floor and after Steve decided to take a shower. Then, she saw Steve come stumbling out with a massive stomach wound.
At the hospital, Emma showed Patrick a valentine she made for Sabrina. She spotted Britt and told Patrick that "the mean lady" was coming. Britt apologized to Emma and said that she hoped they could be friends but Emma ran off and right into Sabrina's arms. Then, Felix gave Emma a magic wand and she asked if it would make Britt disappear. Felix took Emma away while Britt discouraged Patrick from letting Emma be rude to adults. She then handed Sabrina a copy of the letter she had given to Monica, which called her unprofessional, incompetent, slovenly and obsessed with a male doctor. Patrick said that he would do what he could to help Sabrina because he didn't want to lose her and gave her Emma's valentine.
Britt met Maxie in a hospital room and Brit was surprised by Frisco also being there. He told her to stop blackmailing Maxie and to keep her mouth shut about the baby and told her also fix the Sabrina mess. He added that he gets paid to kill bad guys, and from where he was standing, she was a bad guy.
Outside The Haunted Star, Luke worried that some psycho from his past with Laura was trying to haunt them. Then, Scott Baldwin emerged and told Luke he was in town for Laura…his fiancée. Laura confirmed it and Luke was floored. When Luke asked Laura why, Scott replied that he was just putting things back the way they were before Luke screwed them up. Luke asked Laura directly if she loved Scott. She replied that she does, and wanted to marry him.
Alexis went to the penthouse but Sam didn't answer. Shawn offered to break down the door, but she let herself in with her key. The place was empty and she worried that someone took Sam and Danny. Alexis didn't think John committed those murders and worried that Heather took them both. "But what if John did snap?" Alexis wondered.
Anna walked by the pier and was surprised by Duke. She apologized for being poor company, but said she was trying to figure something outrageous out…whether there could be two John McBains. Duke told her that he had read about the stabbings and they discussed how difficult it was to believe John that could do it. Duke thought it was possible that there were two Johns considering what Faison did to him. Anna then revealed that she was scared to use her gut because of how she reacted to Faison's trap. Duke revealed he was still in love with her and would wait as long as it took for her to make her choice. She then told him that she had ended it with Luke. "He wasn't the love of her life, and she wasn't his," Anna told Duke about Luke. They were about to kiss when Alexis called Anna to tell her that Sam and Danny were missing. They agreed to meet at the station and Duke encouraged Anna to trust her gut.
Kate woke up in bed with Sonny, confused. She wondered why they were on Johnny's boat. He told her about the party, that it wasn't Johnny's boat anymore, that she'd been gone for five months and they didn't get married because she married Johnny, but it was okay. She suddenly wondered why they were in bed together. "Did you sleep with Connie?" Kate asked Sonny, who admitted that he did and she was disgusted with him. He tried to tell her that things were different now but she refused to hear his explanations and stormed out.
At home, Olivia heard a crash then saw Steve emerge from the bathroom with a massive stomach wound. She tried to call 911, but he was fine. The mirror broke and he was just coming out to get a dustpan. She told him about her bloody vision and was worried about the person stabbing people. She didn't believe it was John and thought it could be Heather. She said she wouldn't believe otherwise until she saw a corpse. He assured her he wasn't going anywhere and they started making out. Then, there was a knock at the door and Olivia was shocked to hear that it was Kate.
Todd and Rafe Jr. shared a cell at PCPD, and John was one cell over. Todd thought he and Rafe Jr. could help each other since they both saw John commit murder. Todd questioned John if he was going to change his story now but John refused. He repeated that he didn't do those things…Caleb did. "What would I have to gain by killing Heather and stealing Danny?" John asked, then he brought up Todd's own case of double identity. He reminded Todd that he had been where John was now, trying to convince people of something that was outrageous but true. Todd told John that he was a "moody guy," but he would believe him if John believed Todd's story about Heather's murder. John believed Todd and asked for more details. Todd told him that he heard Caleb tell Heather that with the baby it would be easy to get the mother to come with him. John then remembered what Lucy said, that Caleb was obsessed with Livvie and that she was the reason he did everything. Then, he realized Caleb was using Danny as bait to get to Sam and yelled for the guard to let him out. Just then, Anna and Alexis came in and he immediately knew something was wrong. Anna then told them that Sam and Danny were gone.
Sonny ran into Michael outside The Haunted Star and told him that Connie was gone, that Kate was back and took off when she realized he had slept with Connie.
Kate woke up at Olivia's and still couldn't believe Sonny had slept with Connie. Olivia comforted her and when Sonny called urged him to give Kate space. Later, Olivia told Kate what Connie did to Sonny at their wedding. Kate wondered why Johnny would help Connie and Olivia revealed that Johnny killed Starr's family, not Kate. Kate wanted to run off and see Starr and remembered she lived with Trey. Then it hit her. The last thing she remembered was fighting with Trey when she saw his medal. Trey was her son, and he was alive! She wanted to see him but Olivia stopped her.
Back on The Haunted Star, Michael stopped Sonny from going to Olivia's. Sonny admitted to Michael that he was with Connie because he wanted to be. He added that he wouldn't excuse what she had done but there was more to her than meets the eye. He also said that he had real feelings for Connie, but he loved Kate and had to see her because he knew that she needed him and he needed her.
Elizabeth called AJ from the hospital to thank him for the new bouquet of flowers he sent her. He told her that he had a great time with her and the boys. She relied that she had enjoyed it too and reminded him to try something new with Tracy. Later, she and Steve talked about Heather's possible murder and he assured her that he was okay. He then told Elizabeth about Olivia's gruesome vision and they decided there was room for interpretation. Then, he noticed the flowers and she reluctantly told him that they were from AJ, that he was trying to prove himself, make amends for past mistakes and that he just needed a friend.
At the Quartermaine estate, AJ tried to start over with Tracy. He told her that he had a business plan for Pickle-A-Lila that included putting aside their differences and working together. She wondered what has turned him around and he admitted a friend had. He kept pushing his proposal but she refused. She said she only wanted the CEO title and would work to get the votes she needed to vote him out. Then, he started to have another panic attack and begged Tracy to help him. She laughed in his face, called him a shameless fraud and reminded him of Edward's "heart attack" ruse so long ago. Still, he begged her to call Elizabeth. After a bit, Tracy did and Elizabeth walked him though some calming breathing techniques over the phone.
Later, Tracy dropped AJ off at the hospital and left after spouting scathing words about his skills as a CEO. Elizabeth then reassured AJ that he would be fine and that she would help him get through it.
Molly dropped off pictures of Sam and Danny at PCPD. Lucy was handcuffed nearby and beckoned her over. She told Molly she knew who took her sister and why. Molly told Lucy that she had heard about her because John was a friend of her family. Lucy then told her that she was starting to believe Caleb and John were two different people. She also told Molly that Caleb was obsessed with Livvie, who looked just like Sam and the one thing he wanted as much as Livvie was his son Rafe Jr. Lucy then begged Molly to break Rafe Jr. out of jail and handed her some keys she had lifted from a cop. Molly worried that Rafe Jr. would be in more danger outside but Lucy convinced her. From his cell John begged the officer on duty to let him out. Rafe Jr. could tell that Sam and Danny meant a lot to John and blamed himself for letting Heather take the baby. John wanted to concentrate on getting them back then Rafe Jr. told him that Caleb told him he was his father. Then, Molly arrived and nervously drops the keys. John covered for her with the officer and told her that he won't say anything if she let him out too because he wanted to bring Sam and Danny home safe. Rafe Jr. believed John. Molly told them they were waiting for Lucy to create a distraction. Upstairs, Lucy started a fire and was able to escape. Then, Molly opened the cell doors and let John and Rafe Jr. go.
At PCPD Anna briefed Shawn and Alexis on John, Rafe Jr. and Lucy's escape and that Molly had facilitated it. Alexis saw Molly in custody and professed that she was just a kid. Anna explained that she used Lucy's diversion. Alexis then asked why and Molly repeated how Lucy believed she needed to protect Rafe Jr. Alexis got nowhere interrogating Molly. Then, Shawn asked her for information so they could help. Molly said that they didn't tell her where they were going and defended her actions because they may help Sam and Danny.
At the university, John, Rafe Jr. and Lucy broke into the deceased professor's office to investigate on their own. They looked for clues. Lucy told Rafe about his mother and that she wasn't crazy. Then, John found something in a book. Lucy argued that she could have told him this. She then shared about Caleb's alias Clay. John searched online and found out who the vampire really was. He read about Steven Clay escaping from a mental institution after a murder spree following the death of his wife. Photos of the couple look like John and Sam and that Clay claimed to be immortal. John tried to figure out the legend to think like Clay. Rafe Jr. worried and Lucy said that she would protect him. Then, Lucy explained the nightmare she had. John wanted to know where she had it and she told him Wyndemere.
Tracy discussed AJ with Luke at the Quartermaine's. She said that she could take over ELQ if he AJ didn't make a disclosure to the SCC about his condition. Luke shared that he was distracted and couldn't find the missing heir because of what happened on Valentine's Day. Tracy thought he was groveling over Anna. She was shocked when Luke told her that he ran into Laura. Tracy surmised Laura was here for the coming grandbaby. Then, she spit out her drink when she heard Laura was marrying Scott. Luke thought Laura loved Scotty and Tracy said that she could have him. Luke replied that he refused to let Laura marry Scotty. Then, Tracy called Luke out and asked if he wanted Laura back when he saw her again. Luke got distracted and mentioned the Ice Princess and how he now thought Helena had nothing to do with sending a replica of it to Lulu. He now thought it was Scott.
Scott showed up at The Haunted Star. Lulu was doing paperwork. He told her that he wanted to settle the unfinished business over the death of Logan. Lulu explained again what had happened. Scott replied that he believed that he had more perspective into what happened. Lulu agreed to move on and they could never have contact again. Then, Scott broke the news that they would be family since he was marrying Laura. Then, Laura showed up and asked for time with Lulu. Lulu was stunned and asked what Laura was doing. Laura defended herself, said that she and Scotty were trying to rebuild their lives and that they had reconnected. Lulu wondered why she didn't tell Lulu about the engagement right away and thought thinks Laura didn't intend to marry Scott until she saw Luke kissing Anna. Lulu added that she wasn't sure where Luke stood with Anna. Then, Scott returned as she asked Laura if not being with Luke was her reason to marry Scott. He wanted Lulu to know that his intentions were honorable and offered his hand. Laura wanted her to shake it and she reluctantly did.
Scott showed up at the PCPD. Anna tried to avoid him. He asked to see his client Lucy Coe. Anna told him that he couldn't and admitted that Lucy had escaped. Scott wasn't surprised. Anna explained that she couldn't help him and wondered why Scott was there. Scott shared that he was visiting with his fiancé and Anna was surprised to hear it was Laura. She said that she thought he was taking advantage of her mental instability. Then, Anna corrected Scott when he thought she and Luke were involved.
Olivia tried to break the news about Trey to Kate at Steve's apartment. Kate rushed to leave when Sonny arrived. She didn't want to see him and wanted to see Trey. Sonny yelled that she couldn't and then told her that Trey was gone. When she questioned them further Sonny apologized and said that Trey was dead. Kate couldn't believe it and while crying wanted to know how he died. Sonny and Olivia were quiet. Then, Sonny explained about the car accident and Connie's involvement, including taking him off of life support.
At the PCPD Anna was notified of a break in at the university.
Sam woke up in a haze at Wyndemere to see Caleb standing over her. "Welcome home," he told her.

This plugin is to help you to create seamless patterns or game tiles and so on. Everything you paint into image is copied periodically over the rest of image.
If you are interested, here is small introductory video: http://repeated-painter-gimp-plugin.googlecode.com/files/repeatedPaintin..., though principle of its work is very simple...
Useful plugin for texture artists. In two clicks you can create seamless texture from image.
- automatically blending edges to remove "seam" effect
- split image into 4 layers - convenient for further editing
- overlapping if you want to postprocess image manually
- automatically make square texture (optional) - if you want to make power-of-two texture for game
- no repeating pattern effect
Of course, sometimes you need to use stamp tool or eraser tool to make texture looks better. But it is super-easy due to autosplitted layers.
Alters image to have gradually fading overlapped borders when tiled. Like The GIMP's filter Make Seamless, only not as strong an overlap. To achieve this, the image size is reduced. The overlap amount can be chosen by the user. The script can be accessed through /Filters/Map/Make Weakly Seamless...

Sliced Salmon Salad
- Active Time 15m
- Total Time 15m
Serves 4
Poaching in the simplest of salted water with bay leaf accents the taste of the fish, but does nothing to alter its essential flavor.
- For the Salmon:
- 1 salmon fillet, about 1 pound
- 1 quart water
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 bay leaves
- For the Garnish:
- 4 small ripe tomatoes (about 3/4 pound total), peeled, seeded, and diced
- 1/2 cup pitted niçoise or other black olives
- 1 small shallot, minced
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar or lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- For the Salad:
- 2 bunches fresh, tender watercress (about 10 ounces)
- 1 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Cut the fillet in half lengthwise to yield two roughly rectangular pieces about 6 inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide. Remove any pin bones. Turn the fish so that the long side is in front of you and cut 3/8-inch thick slices on the bias.
In a large frying pan, bring the water, salt, and bay leaves to a boil over high heat. Add the fish and poach for 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spatula and set it on a plate lined with paper towels. Let stand at room temperature.
Combine the tomatoes, olives, shallot, vinega, and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the chopped parsley.
In a large pot of boiling water, blanch the watercress. Refresh it under cold water and pat dry. Toss with the olive oil and lemon juice and season to taste with more salt and pepper.
On a platter or plates, arrange a bed of watercress, lay the salmon on top, and spoon the tomato-olive mixture over all.

September 11th Can you breathe this air, this thickening air? The ashes of people are in our nostrils. Can you hear this silence? this screaming silence? The ashes of people are in our throats. Can you see this city, through the cloud of dust: primordial particles, hieroglyphs of destruction? The ashes of people are in our eyes. No bodies were found. The hospitals remained empty with doctors and nurses waiting for patients. No bodies. The ashes of people are in our blood. This silent cry has no answer. The ashes of people are in our guts. We will never be the same. The dead grow their roots in our hearts. - by Lera Auerbach Continue reading

I started playing piano before I learned which was my right hand and which the left. To remember my hands correctly, I would associate the right hand with the high notes of the keyboard and the left hand with the bass notes. Even now, the words "right" and "left" remain subconsciously orchestrated. When I hear "extreme right," I can't help but imagine all these politicians speaking with high-tweeting Chip-and-Dale voices while the leftists are the slow-slurring basses, regardless of their gender or physical constitution. As a result, I can't take either side seriously. Continue reading

So, you finished your book? Congratulations! Now the fun begins. I can help you to turn it into a masterpiece. First you cut 20% of the text. It is very important. Any finished work has 20% of easily dismissible material. That's the secret of building a sustainable form: 20% has to go. Period. Don't feel sorry, you're doing yourself a favor. Well done! Wipe off your tears and take a magnifying glass. Search for all adjectives and replace them with nouns. If you can't replace them – simply delete. Did you know adjectives are the parasites of good prose? They are the weeds in the flowerbeds of your literary garden. Good style deserves this small sacrifice. Now, delete every sentence that starts with "I." Nothing personal, but you don't want to appear selfish. Remember, this is not about you. Even if it is. With this "I" business out of the way, you are ready to send your book to the editor. When you get it back, full of red-color marking (some pages may look as if they are bleeding), try to save what is salvageable, but remember, most of the time to cut is better than to fix. Be ruthless. Brevity is a virtue and the only true consideration a writer can offer to his reader. You may resolve that your epic novel isn't as epic as it seemed at first. Short story perhaps? With this understanding, you may want to revisit its basic premise. Maybe you might consider a prose poem – these are quite popular and can be rather successful in poetry readings. You are not planning a reading? Too bad, but now you are left with a bunch of crossed out pages. You know it's all for the best, really. You should feel grateful. You were spared the embarrassment. With this learning experience behind, you are ready for your next yet-to-be masterpiece. Don't forget to thank your advisors in the preface. Don't feel like writing? Perhaps then you can become a critic so you can help others and return the favor. Every writer needs a friendly supportive hand. I've lent you mine. Now it's your turn. Continue reading

While a student at Juilliard I read the poem "The Dead" by Mark Strand, which instantly inspired me to write my very first song setting of English language poetry. In memory of a poet - Mark Strand (Apr. 11, 1934 - Nov. 29, 2014) Lina Tetriani, soprano; Lera Auerbach, piano . Continue reading

I am not sure how this happened - but I am writing a book of aphorisms. To make matters worse - this book will be published soon! And if that was not bad enough - this will be my very first published book in English!!! Originally it was not supposed to be a book of aphorisms, but rather a book of essays. But once I started to edit my essays, I kept on cutting them down until nothing was left but a couple of phrases. At the very least, I did not want to waste too much of the reader's time. That is how these aphorisms started and once they started I could not stop writing them… And now I am amazed and terrified because not only this is my debut book in English (my second language), but also a debut in a rather rare genre in which I have never worked before. The book will have different sections (on music, on art, on life, on love, on religion etc.) Today I post a second teaser, this time from the section on love and sex. 1. My desires are undesirable. 2. He was so much in love – he never noticed the object of his infatuation. 3. Generally speaking, gay men are better than straight men. They are more sensitive, more fun, more stylish, more creative, better friends, better listeners... Too bad they are gay. 4. Texting is dangerous not only when driving. 5. How to win an erection. 6. Sex: desirable frictions inevitably leading to undesirable frictions. 7. No, this is not lust – I'm just testing if we are still alive. 8. Accessories make access complicated. 9. We notice very little how little we notice. Continue reading

A few aphorisms from my upcoming book: 1. When words are few, each finds its place. It's easy to get lost in a crowd. 2. Hearing voices is not insanity, writing them down – is. 3. Do not argue with idiots, they will outsmart you. 4. Most memories are forgotten more than once. 5. It's not fully yours until you have shortened it. 6. If you are a big ship, stay away from shallow waters. 7. Some weeds are worth cultivating. © 2014 Lera Auerbach [Fall of a Hero] Continue reading

Insomnia © Lera Auerbach 2013 It is undeniable that creativity is one of the most important aspects of any profession. For an artist being creative is a matter of life or death. If you are not creative, you can't be an artist. Music emerges from silence, poetry from a white page, painting from a blank canvas. The artist brings to life ideas, sounds, images, giving form to that which was formless before. Yet that silence, that blank page or canvas - it is not empty, it is full of infinite possibilities. I remember the first time I performed a piano concerto with an orchestra. I was 8 years old and very excited. Standing backstage, I was waiting for the orchestra to finish tuning. The chaotic, wild roar of the symphony orchestra tuning felt miraculous to me; it was my blank canvas as it contained limitless possibilities of music-making. But the world of infinite possibilities can be also frightening, confusing and intimidating. The blank page can glare at you and leave you incapacitated, immobile, shrinking with each passing minute. How can one deal then with limitless freedom when everything appears possible, yet full of invisible walls that stifle your imagination? The craft of an artist (and here I mean any artistic expression, be it a musical composition, literature or visual arts), requires building forms, structures within which a work of art can operate, the frames of space and time which it can inhabit. It involves creating certain restrictions within which the work can be free to emerge, and against which it can rebel, in other words, creating frames which can be altered, but nevertheless allow for creative thought to flourish and realize itself. So, how does one sustain creativity in art when the Muses themselves are known for their disloyalty and fickleness? In my case this involved acting against the advice of my teachers, and following my calling against all odds. I began playing piano and writing music when I was 4 years old. Soon my teachers presented me with a Solomonic dilemma: "Do you want to be a composer or a concert pianist?" I was told that in our age of specialization one cannot be both a virtuoso performer and a serious composer so I had better choose soon and focus." When I was 12, I wrote my first opera, which was staged and toured in Russia. When I mentioned this opera to my piano professor, who was a wonderful teacher by the way, he said rather sternly: "I don't want to hear anything about it. I don't care what you do in your spare time as long as long as it doesn't take away from piano practice." Perhaps as a reaction to this, I started writing poetry and prose. Soon enough, my publishers informed me that I can't be publishing both poetry and fiction, that doing so would only confuse the readers and I would not be taken seriously. At the Juilliard School in New York, the pressures to... Continue reading

In my studio, I used to have portraits of my favorite poets hanging on the wall next to my desk. One day, I realized that most of them either committed suicide or subjected themselves to suicide-like circumstances (like Pushkin who was repeatedly trying to subject himself to a duel). How could it be that the most sensitive people who bring so much joy to others through their writings, would give up on life? Suicide is still a taboo theme in our society. Yet, it daily kills more people than disease or war. Looking for answers, I came across the diaries of Sylvia Plath, who killed herself at the age of thirty at the height of her powers as a poet. My String Quartet No. 8 'Sylvia's Diary' is written in honor of Sylvia Plath.

Another Fall is falling on me. How many are still ahead? God knows... Does it matter? Would I feel any different about this one if I knew it were my last? Would I still practice piano, keep correspondence and answer the rare telephone calls? Would I book a vacation? Spend all days reading? Try to make sense of the pile of unfinished works? Would I, perhaps, attempt to create something new, something important and lasting, placing a bet on its survival's strength? Would I try to live healthy? Read self-help books? Take herbal remedies? Change climate and diet, keep a daily regiment of pills, sleep and exercise? Spend more time with family and with those who care, and avoid at all cost those who don't? Would I, perhaps, withdraw all money, raise credit cards' limits and spend it all on some luxury cruise? And jump off the boat at the end of it, hiding in the night, in the ocean, as if returning to the depth of earth's womb? Would I cheat death with suicide if I knew the day of departure? As if arriving ahead of schedule to some fancy party? Would I be welcomed or would it upset the plans of the Host? Would I, perhaps, simply go on living with the usual concerns, as if nothing has changed, and this knowledge has no significance or power over my life? After all, we are dying. We are all in the cage of Time: 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, 365 days in a year, an average 70+ years of life. This means we have a total of 36,800,000 minutes (that's all!) to live, to love, to lose, to remember, to create, to search for meanings, to shop, to say niceties, to worry about something soon to be forgotten. 36,800,000 minutes to make a living, to make love, to make something of your life, to read, to re-read, to take action, to contemplate, to stipulate, to populate, to wage wars, to buy peace, to pay taxes, argue over politics... And also to dream, to dream, to forget dreams, to lose dreams, to meet dreams, to play dreams, to dream again and again and again... In the age of global warming life is melting away faster, since you are constantly running and can't stand still, splitting yourself into a million pieces, broken, yet somehow still whole, with a constant noise all around – not hearing your own voice. By the end of this page – you have 3 minutes less in the bank of your life. Each minute softly melts, singing to you its quick farewell. Living is the art of dying. If you'd know exactly your balance: how many minutes you have – (living is the art of dying, each minute melts away) does it mean you would live them better? Does it mean you could spend them wiser? It's another September. Wet strands of grass under my dog's delicate paws make squashing sounds. I... Continue reading

Some works have a destiny of their own, independent of the intentions of their authors. They arrive, unannounced, slam the door in your face, take residency in your house, and boss you around. In the summer of 1994 I was a student at the Aspen Music School, taking piano lessons with Joseph Kalichstein and spending every moment I could reading books, which my parents were sending to me all the way from Siberia. Slowly, one parcel at a time, our large library was following me to the U.S. I still remember the smell of the thick, blue volume of Maeterlinck's plays, that peculiar blend of old paper and print smell, which is forever associated in my memories with my childhood and our home in Russia. The moment I opened The Blind, I had a jolt of recognition. "This is a perfect anti-opera, or perhaps an a cappella opera," was my first thought. "This is insane. There is no such thing as an a cappella opera, this is just not possible!" was my second thought. And before I knew it, I started sketching the libretto and the thematic material. A few weeks later, by the end of the Aspen Music Festival, I had a complete manuscript. To this day it remains one of the strangest creations in my catalog. It was not commissioned; nobody seemed to want it. So, it went into my desk, where it remained for many years—until 2011, when the Berliner Kammeroper found out about its existence and asked to see the score. Shortly after the Berlin premiere, Moscow's Stanislavsky Theater presented its own production of The Blind. For the overture I selected an electronic piece, "After the End of Time," which I composed in 1993. Its post-apocalyptic soundscape set the desired emotional frame for the opera. The overture was omitted in Berlin and shortened for the Moscow production. Lincoln Center Festival will be the first one to present it in its entirety. When John La Bouchadiére approached me about producing this opera in the dark, I welcomed the idea. Previously, I had the unique experience of attending Dialogues in the Dark in Davos, Switzerland, during the World Economic Forum. In our modern society we tend to rely on our vision above all other senses, yet we struggle to communicate and to truly "see" and know each other. By allowing other senses to take over, although feeling disoriented and lost at first, we can discover and enrich the understanding of who we truly are. Religious symbolism underlying this opera is amplified by this "unseen" staging. By wearing a blindfold, one surrenders to the unknown, to the vulnerability of uncertainty. The illusion of predictability is stripped off, and one is left alone with questions. Questions often reveal more than answers, and I personally look forward to not seeing this visionary production. THE STRINGS The strings are the veins of music. In the night, inside the piano, They grow silence Until it ripens and calls To the composer, who gathers... Continue reading

My father never asks for directions. Even when he's lost – he looks quite confident. He spends long hours studying his collection of maps. If it's not in the map – its existence is doubtful. My mother asks everyone for directions, even when she knows well where she's going, even if she is just two blocks from her house. She looks like a lost child, waiting to be found, not yet panicking, but on the verge of tears. My father likes the smell of his old car, its obedient noises, familiar caprices. He feels it's the only thing left where he's still in control, while all else is slipping and moving away. He can't stand it if someone else is driving. Without his car – life loses its meaning. My mother goes to sleep early, she will sleep soundly until the morning. He watches her curled in the bed, fixes the blanket. He sits in the armchair, a book on his lap, thinking of driving to some unknown sight; traveling there, he is dozing off, his mouth opened and nose looking as if it belonged to someone else – in his sleep he is drawing the map of his dreams.

I've grown too impatient to read long poems. After a while my eyes start shifting like dancers who've missed their entrance cues. I find – I am reading a different poem all together than the one on the page. I close my eyes. The letters are dancing and chewing my eyelids, like tiny caged rodents, sharp teeth protruding, their round eyes almost blind, their whiskers trembling, trying to smell through. This new poem I am reading in my mind is related to the one in the book, but as a distant cousin, the family ties are vaguely remembered, some childhood memories, a gray photograph, taken at some forgotten occasion, but not much else ties them together. The long poem is starting to look like a shopping list. Each item is a new line, the stanzas form departments, where all the words are labeled and neatly packed in rows on parallel shelves. I'm forever lost in its aisles, in the endless labyrinth, where each detail is screaming to be noticed and appreciated. I am taken hostage by the advertisements, the cleverness of its commercials, coupons, attractive packaging, already forgetting what was on my list. What was that I was looking for when I started reading, and feeling – oh, so, so inadequate. The long poem turns into a dark ancient forest and I am a child lost in its meanings, the unfamiliar verbs are howling like owls, announcing the arrival of the twilight time. It is not yet the night, but it's chilly already and the long arms of the shadows are touching my feet. Alarmed and still hoping for a last minute happy-ending miracle or at least for some understanding or a familiar sight - I rashly turn pages, feeling slightly embarrassed of my impatient flight, and vaguely suspecting that some part of me is still lost in the maze in the complex associations and hidden meaning of that long poem, in its hostile branches and roots of incomprehensible words, and that small part of me may never be rescued from its crowded pages, and I will never know what happens at the end.

I am in the middle of writing a book – collection of random thoughts, musings, daily fragments. Here are some of them: On self: Wondering wanderer in search of wonder, always lost, never found, profane and profound; round and round circling sounds in the maze of the page, musical sage, child of the times, enchanted by rhymes, seeking connection in all forms of art, forgetting her part in everyday matters (invoices, letters), not knowing left from right, hiding alone in a secluded hut, dying from a papercut. . . . . . . . . On art: If there is consensual love, there must be consensual art, but great art is never consensual – it rips you apart, uses you for its creation, and then leaves you like an empty useless shell. You may resent it, but you can't help loving it all the same. You may deny your lover, but you can't deny your calling. . . . . . . . . On work: I never know what to say when asked about my occupation. It's such a strange word! How can one occupy a profession? And does it imply that you are taking forcefully someone else's space to which you have no right? Suddenly, your job takes the form of a war zone and you stand alone and lost, staring at a hostile blank page. . . . . . . . . On age: Young people are unashamed of big words or concepts. Avoiding them is a sign of maturity; scorning them is a sign of an old age. You are as old as the skeptic within you. . . . . . . . . On books: My grandfather always requested that I wash my hands before touching a book. He worshiped his library. To bend a page was a sacrilege worthy of spanking. "It's only a book. It's not going to break," I would object. "Write your own books. Then see if they are breakable," he would answer. . . . . . . . . On progress: There is no progress in art. Art denies Darwinism. Stravinsky is not better than Mozart and Mozart is not better than Bach. Picasso is not better than Rembrandt. There is no progress – only linguistic or stylistic changes reflecting the times.

If Venice is married to Death - the small island of San Michele is the offspring of this union. It takes an entire day to visit San Michele, the legendary Isle of the Dead. The entire island is a cemetery, which resembles a labyrinth consisting of many contrasting sections, almost like miniature islands within one larger island. One of the most striking and memorable "rooms" of this labyrinth is the children's section: children's graves, most of them recent, with photographs, toys, flowers… On marble stones kids' faces are so painfully alive, smiling, laughing, celebrating the joy of their too fleeting lives. The contrast of their youth and their surrounding is heart-wrenching. We do not associate death with youth, yet children are much closer to that vast non-existence from which we all come from and where we all end up, and the thread which binds them to that "forever beyond" is much shorter than with most adults. A turn in the labyrinth of San Michele – and a 19th century cemetery comes into view, with forgotten graves, some half-decayed, names no longer decipherable… Another turn – and an island of gravestones for nuns appears all neatly organized in rows like brave little soldiers conquering the heavens. A narrow path leads to an open sea of flowers of the most recent graves – after 12 years of temporary residence in San Michele, they will be transported elsewhere. At San Michele, the post-mortem real estate seems to be just as coveted and unattainable as guaranteed indulgences. One more twist of the road - and the foreigners' section is found. The Isle of the Dead is home to many famous artists. Visiting Isola di San Michele in Venice was a sort of pilgrimage for me. The impact of Sergei Diaghilev and Igor Stravinsky in music and theater, specifically their collaborations in Le Noce, Le Sacre du Primtemps, Pulcinella and Petruchka, was the most influential in the 20th century. Their legacy is felt by every living composer, choreographer and producer today. In death, they stand as they stood in life: Diaghilev's overpowering large gravestone and Stravinsky's modest plate without any overstatement, but at the center of attention by visitors. I am always interested in the offerings the living bring to the dead. Diaghilev's grave is covered with… ballet slippers. Real, worn ballet shoes which dancers bring as offerings of their gratitude to him. On Stravinsky's grave there are also several glued pieces of paper with handwritten music, offerings from composers, perhaps. Next to Stravinsky is the gravestone of his wife, Vera. Her grave is the mirror image of his, yet her stone-plate is covered with leaves, and there are no "gifts" of burning candles, slippers or music pages. Even in afterlife, she is in his shadow. View from Sergei Pavlovich Diaghilev grave - still looking over his company Here lies Igor Stravinsky A musical offering... Stravinsky speaks about the creation of The Rite of Spring and playing it for the first time for Diaghilev in... Continue reading

Arriving home after several months of travel, and while taking some time to recollect experiences by organizing photographs, I came upon images of one of the most memorable trips of last year. It was my first visit to Brazil, where I performed a Mozart piano concerto in the city of Curitiba with a superb orchestra led by Maestro Osvaldo Ferreira. Brazil made an indelible impression on me. After my performances in Curitiba, a modern city with all the 21st century commodities, I spent ten days traveling and learning about this mysterious, vast, multi-cultural country, buzzing with creativity. I took a detour to a part of the world both terrifying in its isolation and achingly beautiful - the last point of civilization before the great expanse of Amazon rainforest between Brazil and Colombia. Twelve hours by fast boat from Manaus lies a small town on the south bank of the portion of the Amazon River known as the Solimões. It is called Tefé, no roads lead to Tefé. It is only reachable by boat or small plane. Lonely Planet describes it: "It's not that there is anything wrong – it's a perfectly agreeable place, just not particularly memorable." Yet, it was in Tefé where I found one of the most extraordinary sites in all my travels. The heat and humidity were unreal. As I walked from the port up the hill, I saw hundreds of large black birds circling up in the distance. Soon I realized these were vultures. The image was unsettling yet hauntingly beautiful, so I walked towards the birds. The heat was melting the sole of my sandals. After about half an hour, I reached the gates of the place I was looking for. What I encountered is a memory that will stay with me forever. A cemetery that was a charnel ground, with some of the most chilling (in spite of the heat) yet mesmerizing images of a place for the dead. Here are some of the images: Vultures on top of the cemetery gates. These vultures are very large. Majestic birds, really. Despite their bad reputation, vultures are saving this town, working as a full-time cleaning crew. They do not attack the living, they feast on the dead. I saw them playing with the local dogs and cats. They appear as gigantic awkward chickens in the backyards. The locals seem to ignore them altogether. When something is always present, we stop noticing it. I have always been fascinated by cemeteries and try to visit them wherever I travel. The beautiful ruins of Tefé's cemetery is a feast of colors and shades. Crossed perspective The smudges on this gravestone look like a modern painting. And all these shades of blue... Petals and leaves fall on the gravestones from the branches of the trees. Pink tears. I took over thirty photographs of this grave. This child captured my heart. Wisdom, understanding, strength, mercy, fear of G-d, science are all buried in here. Beautiful ruins and open graves in... Continue reading

I have to apologize to the readers of BAP for my disappearance. One of the reasons is that I am in the process of completing an orchestral score for the upcoming premiere of my opera Gogol in Vienna. It is a large-scale opera with three acts, full orchestra, two choirs (adult mixed choir and boys), dances and the cast of fifteen characters. Since yesterday was Gogol's birthday, I think it would be appropriate to share with the readers of BAP a short interview I gave last week via email about Gogol. While the actual interview will be published in German, here is the English version of it. GOGOL INTERVIEW 1) Why are you fascinated by Gogol? Gogol, born a Ukrainian cossack, is often considered the father of modern Russian literature. He was a writer with a rich and conflicted inner life, able to bring to light, in the most vivid form, the tragic nature of the human condition. His writings are even more relevant today than they were during his time. 2) Which story is reflected in your opera "Gogol"? Before starting my work on this opera, I reread the complete works of Gogol, as well as over twenty books written about him. For the opera, I wished to create not a historical account of Gogol's life, but a dreamlike vision of his inner passions, his madness and genius. Opera is above all a drama, the ultimate dramatic expression. Some operas based on historical events and real people, such as Mussorgsky's "Boris Godunov", can also be viewed as tragic fairytales for adults. "Gogol" is ultimately a Russian opera, and Russian history is a nightmarish fairytale from which this country may never awake. 3) Which character is Gogol in your opera? Is he a tragic person or is he funny? Gogol was a deeply troubled man, possessed by fears. He became religiously obsessed and began to believe that he brought real evil into this world through his writings. A priest, whom Gogol trusted, ignited these convictions and encouraged Gogol to burn the 2nd and 3rd volume of the "Dead Souls". Gogol's deep seriousness is what allowed him to become a great satire writer. This opera is ultimately tragic but has dark humorous undertones. As an example, Bes (a demon), who is Gogol's adversary, but also in many ways his alter-ego, often ridicules Gogol. Bes' comments can be grotesque, yet they also ring of truth. In a tragically distorted manner, Bes, whom Gogol passionately fights and fears, also represents Gogol's consciousness. 4) First you wrote a play and then the libretto. Why are words not enough? Why do they need music? Which dimension can you express with the music? The play and the libretto are two separate entities. The play is complete without music. The libretto is an adaptation of the play, specifically crafted to be a partner to the music. Opera is one of the most complete art-forms: music, text, staging, and drama are all part of the whole. As librettist... Continue reading

VARIATIONS ON THE THEME OF TIME I. Time with time shrinks in size, worsens in quality. I search memories, trying to remember one perfect moment from childhood when past was still my future. II. Time exits, tip-toeing. I stand alone in this empty room, erasing my past, harvesting the words, burning them in the silence of music. All that I own has turned into ashes. I open the door and breathe in cold air. III. Time in places becomes so thin, you can see through its fading material. You see the dim valleys, You see strange shapes shifting, changing, blending. Time with time loses its colors – the ancient pyramids are now all-gray. Time likes gray-ness, it can rest for a while, it can cuddle in a cradle of forever beyond. Time also gets tired sometimes. In its sleep Time hears the gray clouds sing. [by Lera Auerbach] Continue reading

I opened the windows on a dark orchard. Trees were guarding the movement of branches. And with the bitterness of October rennet apples I opened the windows on a dark orchard. The funeral decay of the orchard lingered, Covering the heart in fallen memories, With autumnal stilling languor, The funeral decay of the orchard lingered. October lingered and languored. Stealthily approached with tiny steps. And we defoliated mysteriously too, While October lingered and languored. The last frame has been brought into focus. Branches draw organ screams in sky. Who knows what will come, what drama When the last frame has been brought into focus. Well it is good that we are still alive; That time ages while years like ink Run down and smudge shoddily, lazily, And it's good that we are still alive. --- Lera Auerbach Continue reading

CANARY So yellow as if defending this color was its only quest; as if painted by an artist, obsessed, unaccustomed to shade; as if stitched by mid-summer's sun; made with delicate silk in the ancient country long gone, the canary swings on its wooden swing, claiming its cage (golden prince in exile). It glances at me through the bars – and sings; sings far better than any sounds I try to capture. As in rapture, some birdly ecstasy, perhaps, its song shimmers, almost visible in the slight rips and tears at the edges of the air in peripherals of the cage. I humbly retreat, leaving crumbs for a treat, my modest offering of shame: I have the freedom to fly and rejoice, but where is my voice? - - Lera Auerbach Continue reading

No, it's not your sloppy sense of direction, alienating attitudes or unbearable shyness, which is, in fact, bearable, it is something else entirely, like cancer or a car crash and it is somewhere else where you lost it, your crumbling sense of perspective.

While there may be degrees of moral relativism - at some point there is an absolute. That point is different for each of us. For some of us, it is impossible to neutrally separate the artist from her soul. Using her talent, as she did, to advance a malevolence, is derisive of that talent and leaves me with no interest in her work.
The entire Nazi death machine was designed by very talented people and worked extremely efficiently. I don't celebrate their talent any more than Leni's
Finally, going back "on topic" to the OP original posit. Is this one of the best sports portraits ever made?
Frankly, I don't think it is - even if I didn't know who the photog was. It's no more "great" than many pre-race closeups of runners in the blocks that you see on television! And, in fact, I think it was included on the web site page as a means of distracting viewers from the true nature of her work assignment at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. It certainly seems to have done so for you and a number of others here.

Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo
Presented by Williams College at Williams College '62 Center for Theatre and Dance
February 27, 2014
Founded in 1974 by a group of ballet enthusiasts for the purpose of presenting a playful, entertaining view of traditional classical ballet in parody form and en travesti, a.k.a. in drag, Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo quickly went from late-late shows and Off-Off Broadway lofts to international stardom. A major critical essay by Arlene Croce in The New Yorker combined with rave reviews in The New York Times and The Village Voice established the company as an artistic and popular success. The following year the international press caught on, a Richard Avedon photo essay appeared in Vogue, and the rest is history.
The Trocks, as they are affectionately known, present an inspired combination: their loving, scholarly knowledge of dance and the astonishing power and precision of their technique is leavened by a comic approach that makes an evening with them in the theatre unlike any other. Their repertory spans many of the great works of ballet history, and at the '62 Center the program will include Swan Lake, Paquita, and Peter Anastos' "many-layered masterpiece of parody" (New York Times) Go For Barocco, among other works.
This performance is made possible by the W. Ford Schumann '50 Endowment for the Arts and the Lipp Family Fund for Performing Artists.

Lily by Christian Dior
I only smelled Lily once when it was first released in the 90s. I can't say much other than I could see no difference between it and Diorissimo. A lovely perfume, but no different from the one that has been around for decades.

This page describes how to configure Bamboo to use a Git repository.
You can specify repositories at the following levels in Bamboo:
- global – repositories are available to all plans in Bamboo.
- plan – repositories are available to all jobs in the Bamboo plan.
- job – repositories are available to all tasks in the Bamboo job.
The recommended approach is to set up linked source repositories at the global level – see Linking to source code repositories.
You need to have previously defined a Git capability before you can configure a Git source repository – see Defining a new version control capability.
Note that Bamboo comes with its own built-in Git implementation. However, you need to use native Git to be able to use symbolic links, submodules, automatic branch detection and automatic merging - these are not supported by the built-in Git.
You can download Git from the following locations:
- Windows: http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list?can=3&q=official+Git
- Linux and Mac: http://git-scm.com/download
Configure a Git source repository
- Navigate to the repository configuration for a linked repository, plan or job. See Linking to source code repositories.
- Either click Add Repository to add a new repository, or edit an existing repository configuration.
- Choose Git from the Source Repository list.
- Enter a Display Name to help identify the repository in Bamboo.
- You can configure the following settings for a Git source repository for your plan:
|Repository URL
The full path to your Git repository (eg: https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/bamboo-git-plugin.git )
Valid URLs are of the form:
|Type the name of the relevant branch (or tag) you want to work on. Leave empty to work on the
master branch.
|Authentication Type
|None – choose none if you want to access the repository anonymously.
|Username/password – authenticate with a username and password.
|SSH private key – upload an SSH Key and provide the corresponding SSH Passphrase.
|Use shallow clones
Allows Bamboo to perform shallow clones (i.e. history truncated to a specified number of revisions). This should increase the speed of the initial code checkouts, however if your build depends on the full repository history, we recommend that you do not use this option. Shallow clones are enabled by default.
|Location of POM file
The path to your project's
(Only available when importing a Maven 2 project)
Advanced Options
|Use submodules
|Select to enable submodules support if these are defined for the repository. If native Git capability is not defined for agent submodules support will be disabled.
|Command timeout
|This is useful to stop hung Bitbucket processes. On slower networks, you may consider increasing the default timeout to allow Bamboo time to make an initial clone of the Git repository.
|Verbose logs
|Turns on more verbose logs from Git commands. Use this option if you encounter problems with Git in Bamboo.
|Enable Quiet Period
|Specifies a delay after a single commit is detected before the build is started. This allows multiple commits to be aggregated into a single build.
|Include/Exclude Files
Allows you to specify the files that Bamboo should, or should not, use to detect changes. When you configure the Include option, it means that you want Bamboo to use only the mentioned files for change detection because by default Bamboo checks all the files. The same way, if you configure the Exclude option, Bamboo will not consider the excluded files for detecting changes.
Enter into File Pattern a regular expression to match the files that Bamboo includes or excludes. The regex pattern must match the file path in the repository. See sub page for examples.
|Exclude Changesets
|Enter a regular expression to match the commit messages for changesets that should not start a build.
|Web Repository
If your repository can be viewed in a web browser, select the repository type.
This allows links to relevant files to be displayed in the 'Code Changes' section of a build result.
Stash – specify the following details for the repository:
See Integrating Bamboo with Bitbucket Server for more information.
FishEye – specify the URL and other details for the repository:
See Integrating Bamboo with FishEye for more information.

What about triggers for git? Didn't find anything in documentation - table with "Build strategies" looks like copied from documentation for Subversion, not a word regarding git there.07 Apr 2011
Piotr Stefan Stefaniak [Atlassian]
Er, what do you mean by 'triggers for git'? What kind of information you need which the above documentation lacks?08 Apr 2011
I need information how to configure git, to automatically trigger bamboo build after each push. Second option in "build strategies" table - there's a link to this page: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMBOO/Repository+Triggers+the+Build+when+Changes+are+Committed, but nothing about git can be found there.08 Apr 2011
Piotr Stefan Stefaniak [Atlassian]
I'd say you need to:
- add post-receive script to your git repository. For example my
.git/hooks/post-receivelooks like:(where
http://localhost:8085/bamboois my Bamboo basedir, and
HOOK-HOOKis the project-plan key for the plan using Git Repository)
- you might need to tweak Trigger IP Address (Bamboo->Plan->Repository Configuration page). For example I had to change it to:
And that should do the trick. Does it help?08 Apr 2011
Yes, Piotr, I see that you added info to the page about Git configuration too, and that's exactly what I was asking for - thank you.09 Apr 2011
Does this still work since the remote API is gone, and now we've got a REST api?
I couldn't find stuff in the REST API about triggering a build.
Thanks, David14 Jun 2013
Piotr Stefan Stefaniak [Atlassian]
I believe this still work - the above mechanism is not depending on "remote API" nor on the REST api. For the full reference - one can use REST "queue" endpoint to trigger the builds manually, but I don't see a reason why one would favourite REST instead of the plain "updateAndBuild.action".
Why do you ask? Any particular problem you're experiencing? Maybe we can help somehow?14 Jun 2013
Yeah I'm having trouble with it, it doesn't seem to be triggering my Plan. I've got a support request open: https://support.atlassian.com/browse/BSP-10330
Thanks14 Jun 2013
Piotr Stefan Stefaniak [Atlassian]
Just a question: do you want to trigger the build and run it no-matter-if-there-are-any-new-changes-in-the-repo, or do you want to trigger only the change detection on the repository?
If you need to trigger the build (I assume that is the case, am I right?), then the following REST endpoint should help in your situation: https://docs.atlassian.com/bamboo/REST/4.0/#idp263696 - "POST" on the "/queue" resource. Can you make it on your own with that information how to call that endpoint, or do you need further help?14 Jun 2013
I think that solves my problem. Change detection is fine, since it should only be pushed via git on a push, but I don't mind if it runs "unnecessarily"
I executed this:
POST server:port/rest/api/latest/queue/PLAN-KEY
I get a 401 unauthorized, I guess it requires me to set up a username and password explicitly for the automated builds? That's a bit trickier to make work with github.14 Jun 2013
Piotr Stefan Stefaniak [Atlassian]
Hm... In that case the "updateAndBuild.action" should be preferable. I do wonder why does it not work on your machine. But I think diagnosing this won't be easy and it is good idea that you've raised that BSP-10330 - I've added myself to its watchers. I hope that with a help from Support Engineer you'll get to the root of the problem soon.
I'll pass here, as I reckon the issue is too big to be discussed via Bamboo Documentation comments, and I am unable to help you further right now. Is that OK to you?
good night!14 Jun 2013
Totally OK with me, thanks for your help.14 Jun 2013
- add post-receive script to your git repository. For example my
Is there a specific version of git that shallow clones have been tested with? I've noticed that on some repos (very small ones, I think, 556K with the one I consistently reproduce the problem with), enabling shallow clones causes the clone command to hang indefinitely. Switching to full clones works fine.
I am using git 126.96.36.199 with my build agent.15 May 2012
Is there any support for having the output of 'git describe' passed to a Bamboo environment variable during a build?05 Dec 2012
Committing to a branch still causes master to compile and my branch does not get compiled when using manual branches. Is this a known issue with bamboo integration or have I neglected something in my branch trigger. I do specify master for master. Using GitHub services hooks which trigger on commit to bamboo. It looks like I can specify the main project-plan which is how I trigger the build.16 Jan 2013
Piotr Stefan Stefaniak [Atlassian]
I think you should use "polling" strategy in Bamboo instead of relying on GitHub services to "ping" the Bamboo. I'm guessing GitHub services aren't aware of plan-branches created in Bamboo, so they always trigger the master-plan...21 Jan 2013
I just wanted to point out that the SSH-authentication for a git repository won't work if the private-key is in putty format.
When I converted it to the openssh format, it worked fine.22 Feb 2013
Checking out a tag does not seem to work. I have to checkout the tag manually with a script task.
The documentation shoult mention this:
Type the name of the relevant branch (or tag) you want to work on. Leave empty to work on the
masterbranch.09 Jul 2013
Not critical but is there any way to clone or copy a shared repository?
Dang it I have done the captcha 15+ times...what the heck????18 Jul 2013
Is it possible to store an SSH public key in Bamboo, rather than having to upload it via a webform for each new plan? Ideally we want to create a 'bamboo' user in Stash so we don't have to use a random individual's authentication details in a build plan. However, we'd still have to manually upload an SSH key. Does Bamboo provide a key store?08 Nov 2013
Hi Rick,
I am sorry for the confusion; Bamboo 5.2 has this feature as it's mentioned here - https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/231064/store-stash-ssh-key-on-the-bamboo-server?page=1#231271. You need navigate to the Administration -> Shared credentials page.
Armen11 Nov 2013
I'm looking to only trigger builds with a certain commit text through the "Exclude changesets" option. However, it doesn't look like Bamboo supports negative regular expressions. Is this the case?
My regex is ^(?![some-text] some other text).*\n
Btw, having to specify \n at the end is really bad. Especially since it isn't noted in the documentation.10 Feb 2015
How do you enable a SOCKS proxy for a repository. Not by setting a global SOCKS proxy but only at a per repository level.17 Jul 2015

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."
