Tax preparer fraud can ruin finances
For Oscar Sotelo, tax season was a gold mine for two years running. He found a man who prepared taxes in California's Central Valley, promised big refunds -- and delivered.
Then the Internal Revenue Service letters started coming. Sotelo was never supposed to get that money; now, the IRS wanted it back.

No matter what though it's always good I guess to keep making new design concepts of the celtic knot in the form of a heart. As you can see the knot is not connected or linked together in any continuous form. Anyways, I hope you have fun with this tutorial and I also hope you found this lesson helpful and fun. I will be back with two more tuts for you all so try and stick around to see what they are.

WHEELING - On a night where speed killed, Brooke coach Sean Blumette wasn't talking about Wheeling Park's offensive speed, which set an unofficial single-game, school record with 412 yards on the ground.
Blumette's focus, after his team's 34-16 setback to the Patriots at Wheeling Island Stadium, was on the other side of the ball.
"What beat us (Friday night) was Park's speed on the defensive side of the ball," Brooke's second-year coach said. "There was no way for us to adequately prepare for that. It's hard for us to simulate that speed, to replicate those athletes. That would be hard for a lot of teams."
Article Photos
Rick Kozlowski
IN THE GRASP — Brooke quarterback Aaron Walker is in the grasp of a Wheeling Park defender during the first half of Friday's 34-16 win by the Patriots.
Blumette's point is based on the evidence. Brooke finished with 55 yards rushing - barely more than yards per carry. The Bruins did pass for 127 yards, but that was not enough to keep up with Patriots, who ran right off the bat and they never really slowed down.
Bryce Ingram, in his second game back from a stress fracture in his back, showed little ill effects, rushing for 188 yards and three touchdowns that covered 68, 53 and 45 yards.
For a player who wasn't even sure he'd play this year, Ingram made his presence known right off the bat.

On the first play from scrimmage, Ingram took the ball outside, found a seam, and raced 68 yards to stun the Bruins.
Not bad for a guy who suffered what he thought was a pinched nerve in his back, only to later find out it was a stress fracture that had been treated wrongly.
"I was talking to my dad before the season and he said he thought that I'd be back by the fifth game of the season," Ingram said. "Honestly, I wasn't sure that I would be back at all. I felt that way. To be back and playing again, in the fourth game of the season, is a blessing. I can't take credit for it. It sure feels good to bounce back in a win like this though."
Father obviously knew best.
So did coach Chris Daugherty.
"We saw a little rust last week," Daugherty said. "Your talking about a kid who not only missed two games, but two scrimmages. His last football game was our playoff game last year. For him to come out like he did is a credit to him. He missed a few reads, and he'll be the first to admit that. But he's coming along."
So is sophomore Savion Johnson, who backed his senior backfield mate with 155 yards on 21 carries and a score, his coming from 38 yards out when he broke free from a scrum and danced into the end zone to give Park a 21-0 lead midway through the second quarter.
The Patriots (4-0) had gone up 14-0 on an 18-yard pass from Zach Phillips to Chalmer Moffett, well earned after he cleared the path for Ingram on his first TD run.
The Bruins did get on the board late in the first half, sacking Phillips in the end zone for a safety, to trail 21-2.
They weren't quite done.
They came out in the second half and jumped on the Patriots, using a 29-yard touchdown pass from Heath Hildreth to Thomas Cole on a halfback pass and then Matt Lazear returned an interception 61 yards to cut the once seemingly insurmountable Park lead to 21-16 with 3:10 into the half.
The Bruins looked poised to take a lead after a muffed punt by Park was whistled dead at the Patriots 29.
However, Elijah Bell came up with a save when he intercepted a pass three plays later to quell that drive.
"That was a huge play," Daugherty said. "I give all the credit to Brooke for coming out in the second half ready to play. Our kids didn't quit, they stayed on course. I've been here in year's past when we would have fell apart in that situation."
"That was huge," Blumette said. "We got ourselves in position to get into a good position and we kind of shot ourselves in the foot. It was a good play by (Bell). He jumped the route. I couldn't tell if it was tipped at the line or what, but it was a big play for Park."
Ingram later put away any further Brooke (1-4) comeback attempts with two touchdown runs that sealed the game.
"I'm proud of our kids for battling tonight," Blumette said. "We could have folded. We didn't. We'll look at this tape and we'll see some bad things but we will also see some good things."
For Park, it has a potential record, but the work is far from done.
"Any time we get a win over Brooke, it's a good one," Daugherty said. "We had a good game, the kids played well and we were fortunate to come out on top. But it's just Game 4. We have a lot left. We could finish 4-6. Anything is possible."
With that speed, it's not likely.

On a cooler than expected April evening, a modest group of dance enthusiasts gathered in the Sturges-Young Auditorium to see Wellspring: Cori Terry & Dancers, a West Michigan professional contemporary dance company known for their dazzling displays of interpretive dance.
"I've read lots about them in the newspaper," said Sturgis resident and former dance instructor, Madeline Parker. "I've never had the opportunity to see them in person so, I am really looking forward to the performance tonight. It's lovely to have such a professional dance troupe come to Sturgis."
Before the performance, the Sturges-Young Manager Brad Donmeyer appeared on stage to welcome the audience then briefly explain that the dance they were about to see called for an enormous amount of body movement and stability, which required the dancers to perform with bare feet.
When a little girl in the audience heard this, she turned to her mother and with great concern in her voice said, "They are going to dance with bear feet?"
Realizing her daughter misunderstood, her mother reassuringly replied, "No, he does not mean they will be dancing with bear feet. What he means is that they will be dancing with nothing on their own feet," a remark that gave those of us within listening distance a good chuckle just as the bare-feet began to hit the stage.
Dressed in flowing frocks and customary dancer leotards, one could not help but notice the strength these well-trained dancers possessed.
With well-toned, muscular frames, the dancers all moved with an ever-so-delicate demeanor that, when accompanied by the soft, soothing music, made the Wellspring dancers appear to almost float across the stage, fettering the viewer's mind to a more placid, peaceful, calming state.
Moving to and fro, freely expressing each piece with leaps, rolls, spins, pirouettes, tumbles, crawls and gymnast-like contortions — all done smoothly and in sync with one another – Wellspring never quite let the audience know exactly where it was going to take it next.
Intensive, expressive and intriguing, the Wellspring 75-minute dance performance was so entrancing that it seemed to make time move as swiftly as its dancers did.

Using p-adic analysis, Dwork was the first to prove the rationality of the zeta function of a variety over a finite field. From what I have seen, in algebraic geometry, this method is not used much and Grothendieck's methods are used instead. Is this because it is felt that Dwork's method is not general or powerful enough; for example, Deligne proved the Riemann Hypothesis for these zeta functions with Grothendieck's methods, is it felt that Dwork's method can't do this?
The premise of the question is not correct. Dwork's methods (and modern descendants of them) are a major part of modern arithmetic geometry over $p$-adic fields, and of $p$-adic analysis. You could look at the two volume collection Geometric aspects of Dwork theory to get some sense of these developments.
Just to say a little bit here: Dwork's approach led to Monsky--Washnitzer cohomology, which in turn was combined with the theory of crystalline cohomology by Bertheolt to develop the modern theory of rigid cohomology. The $p$-adic analysis of Frobenius actions is also at the heart of the $p$-adic theory of modular and automorphic forms, and of much of the machinery underlying $p$-adic Hodge theory. The theory of $F$-isocrystals (the $p$-adic analogue of variations of Hodge structure) also grew (at least in part) out of Dworks ideas.
To get a sense for some of Dwork's techniques, you can look at the Bourbaki report Travaux de Dwork, by Nick Katz, and also at Dwork's difficult masterpiece $p$-adic cycles, which has been a source of insipiration for many arithmetic geometers.
In some sense the $p$-adic theory is more difficult than the $\ell$-adic theory, which is why it took longer to develop. (It is like Hodge theory as compared to singular cohomology. The latter is already a magnificent theory, but the former is more difficult in the sense that it has more elaborate foundations and a more elaborate formalism, and (related to this) has ties to analysis (elliptic operators, differential equations) that are not present in the same way in the latter.) [For the experts: I am alluding to $p$-adic Hodge theory, syntomic cohomology, $p$-adic regulators, Serre--Tate theory, and the like.]
I agree with Emerton's answer (and had similar thoughts, but since he is a leading expert in this field, it's better if the answer comes from him). I would say that if anything the opposite is true: nowadays people (especially those of an arithmetic bent) are more interested in $p$-adic cohomology than $\ell$-adic cohomology and the former is viewed as richer and more difficult than the latter. Thus the importance of Dwork's work could scarcely be higher.
Flipping to the other side of the Weil conjectures, I think it is also not quite fair to say that Deligne proved the Riemann hypothesis "with Grothendieck's methods". I know you mean that he used Grothendieck's methods ($\ell$-adic cohomology) rather than Dwork's methods ($p$-adic analysis) but it doesn't do justice to the range of new ideas that Deligne brought to the table (as well as the ideas that were left on Grothendieck's table, to Grothendieck's eternal consternation).
Flipping back again, note that the Weil conjectures (and even parts of Deligne's significant generalization "Weil II") have since been proven completely by $p$-adic methods, c.f.:
This is another sign that the "Dwork school" is going strong in contemporary research.
If you want to actually compute zeta functions of varieties over finite fields, then the p-adic methods are often more efficient. See e.g. the work of Kedlaya.

Personally, I like monarchy. Monarchs are symbols of national unity and rich heritage. Just look at British monarchy. It is a matter of their pride. And, I also think that countries like France, Italy, Turkey and so on are very unlucky not to have monarchies.
We see in some countries that, when they are converted from kingdoms to republics, monarchs are exiled even though they could not do any harm to the republic, when the whole situation was under control and they didn't even do any crime.
For example, Mehmed VI of Turkey, Farouk I of Egypt and Umberto II of Italy were exiled.
Why didn't these countries adopt constitutional monarchy so that the monarchs can be granted an honored life?

Snakes on a Plane wasn't the only opportunistically marketed entertainment product riding a groundswell of semi-ironic obsession to suffer through an underwhelming debut this weekend. On last night's Teen Choice awards, world-famous househusband and reformed background dancer Kevin Federline donned his best white-trucker-hat-and- matching-Oxford ensemble for his first-ever public performance. The predictably lip-synced affair was notable mostly for the aspiring rapper's maddening refusal to stumble into the on-stage pyrotechnics and attempt to put out the flames engulfing him by increasing the intensity of his Roger Rabbit steps, an admirable, if ill-advised, refusal to interrupt his flow. In the absence of an accidental K-Fed immolation, there really wasn't much to hold the attention once Britney Spears completed her introduction and removed her overflowing, pregnancy-enhanced cleavage from view, but if pressed for a favorite moment from the performance, we'd have to say it's when the bewifebeatered guy in the front row, presumably a member of Federline's posse, leaps out of his seat and offers some approving fist-pumps at the end of the song, which made our own wildly enthusiastic gesticulations celebrating Federline's triumph seem somewhat uninspired.

Well, I've been trying to figure out a problem which I imposed on myself, so no literal values included. Unfortunately, my brain is not cooperating.
The problem states:
What is the height from which an object was dropped if it travelled the last $x$ units of distance in $t_x$ units of time?
Specific values and units are not important. It's just a thought problem, for the sake of it.
I was thinking along the lines:
The total height would be $h_0$ and total time would be $t_0$. The equation for the height can be obtained as an indefinite integration of the function $v(t)$ or through more common channels which do the same thing.
$h_0 = \frac{gt_0^2}{2}$ (1)
Right, that much is clear. This much is also true:
$h_0 = h + x$ (2)
$t_0 = t + t_x$ (3)
Which enables us to restate the equation (1) as:
$h+x= \frac{g}{2}(t+t_x)^2$
Now, we know the values of $x$ and $t_x$ and the value of gravitational acceleration, $g= ~9.80665$ $m/s^2$
All that remains is $h$ and $t$ and I just can't express it, everything I try to do doesn't give me an insight into their values. Is the system of equations under-constrained? I would really appreciate some insight, even if it is just to show the error of my ways.
I apologize for not consulting textbooks and other materials, I have the tendency to attempt to discover things on my own, if I can, of course.

Let H be a group. Can we find an automorphism $\phi :H\rightarrow H$ which is not an inner automorphism, so that given any inclusion of groups $i:H\rightarrow G$ there is an automorphism $\Phi: G\rightarrow G$ that extends $\phi$, i.e. $\Phi\circ i=i\circ \phi$?
The answer is that the inner automorphisms are indeed characterized by the property of the existence of extensions to larger groups containing the original group. I learned as much from this blog entry (in Russian). The reference is Schupp, Paul E., "A characterization of inner automorphisms.", Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 101 (1987), no. 2, 226--228.
I struggled with the same question for quite some time and solved it for finite groups, only to then discover that it had already been solved. Schupp solved it for arbitrary groups. Martin Pettet later solved it for finite groups, and his proof works for p-groups, finite p-groups, finite pi-groups, solvable groups, etc.
These proofs also show that analogous statements are true if we replace injective embeddings with quotient maps (i.e., the only automorphisms that can be pulled back over all quotient maps are the inner ones).
I also have some notes on this and similar problems here: extensible automorphisms problem.

Ten Tips on How to Plan a Conference
Set goals.
Know what your organization — which usually means the board of directors — wants. It will save time and energy if you take time at the beginning to set a theme, the location (or at least the city), and maybe even the headliners. Be sure everyone is on board to avoid troubles later.

In this interview I chat with Bill Vaughn, Visual Basic MVP and super-SQL-data-dude, over beer at a loud brewery about his experiences using Visual Basic over the years. Check out Bill's
MVP bio and blog.
Post your own story and/or comment with your own experiences for the VB Team to hear on the VB Team blog. For more fun interviews visit www.IMaVB.net.
About the "I'm a VB" Interview series:
Who's the "typical VB.NET developer"? Is there one? There are millions of VB.NET developers in the world, and they each have their own unique story. We decided to talk to some of them to find out what kinds of applications they're building, what technologies they're using, and what their favorite features are. Watch the interviews and find out for yourself who today's VB.NET developers really are!
Oops, something didn't work.
I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the interviews. However, please remove that background music from Bill Vaughn's interview. It is annoying and distracting.
Hi Blueshift,
Believe me when I say we worked really hard on the sound quality. Because the interviews were done at random parties and events at the MVP summit, there was a lot of background noise. We had to filter it with music just so you could hear the main speakers. It sounds a lot better with it than without it.
Glad you like the interviews!

The 6 Saddest Attempts to Follow Up Pop Culture Classics
Just because you've created one masterpiece doesn't mean everything you touch is going to be gold (we're looking at you, seasons 2,3 and 4 of Heroes). For further proof, just take a look at the real and grossly ill-conceived follow-ups to some of these beloved classics.
#6. After Captain America: Fighting American
Joe Simon and Jack Kirby were true visionaries: They created Captain America in late 1940, a full year before the U.S. got involved in World War II, and they had him punching Hitler in the face as early as March 1941. When Marvel Comics put out the first issue of Captain America, the character became an overnight sensation. Simon and Kirby were immediately flooded by fan mail and even death threats from Nazi sympathizers.
So when Marvel relaunched the character in 1953 without Simon or Kirby's involvement, they called bullshit. Similar to the creators of Superman, they felt they had been swindled and decided to do something about it. Unlike Superman's creators, they didn't even try to come up with a new character - they simply did a Captain America rip-off at another company. This time Simon and Kirby owned the copyright, so by their own admission, they "were determined to make the public forget about Captain America." Here's what they came up with:
The Failure:
Fighting American's origin story reads a lot like an extended sketch for The Colbert Report: a brave newscaster volunteers for a government experiment after his war hero brother is murdered by communists. The story plots were literally inspired by Senator McCarthy's anti-communist agenda:
Remember, kids: If you don't feed Freedom at least twice a day it could die, and we're not buying you a new one.
Communists weren't just criminals for Fighting American, they barely classified as human. In one issue, Simon and Kirby had the hero trapped between commies and actual demons, but you could hardly tell the difference between both sides.
Fighting American greets everyone by hoisting them over his head.
Simon and Kirby had previously found success by making Nazi-bashing comics, so they figured they could do the same thing with the Reds. The problem was that around this same time, Senator McCarthy's dubious methods were starting to raise some eyebrows in the American public. One Jack Kirby biography states that "public opinion veered so violently against McCarthy, Jack and Joe had to rush to change the direction of Fighting American's next issue."
So, from one issue to the next, the comic went from a dead-serious tale of Communist-bashing patriotism and political intrigue to a wacky parody of the exact same type of rhetoric, using the old "it was a joke all along!" excuse. Some sections seemed taken straight out of Mad Magazine:
Borscht jokes never get old.
During this period, Fighting American's villains became more culturally diverse. Now he also battled the monstrous Japanese...
...primitive Indians...
...beast-like Arabs...
...and Mexicans...
...resulting in what might very well be the most xenophobic comic ever. Another troubling aspect of the series was the main character's problematic tendency to be depicted in bedroom scenes with his young sidekick.
"Also, sodomy."
Sales remained low and the comic was canceled after seven issues, but the character's undignified story continued decades later, when he was bought by a company paradoxically called Awesome Comics.
Who'd want to buy the rights to an obscure character that was the clear product of self-plagiarism? Another plagiarist, of course. In the 90s, Marvel Comics sued a former artist for infringing Captain America's copyright by "creating" a thinly veiled rip-off called Agent: America. As a way to justify the resemblance, the artist bought the rights to Fighting American and fused him with the other guy. The court fell for it, and Awesome Comics continued inflicting the character upon modern audiences, officially establishing the most pathetic reasons behind a character revival ever.
#5. After Quake: Daikatana
After the release of the PC game Quake--itself a follow up to the industry-changing Doom--game designer John Romero was on top of the world. In 1996, Romero left the company he had helped found, id Software, to set up a new one called ION Storm, located on the lavish penthouse floor of a Dallas skyscraper. The man was already living like a rock star when his publisher paid him a $13 million advance for his highly anticipated next game.
Like Samson, he lost his power if he cut his hair.
When Time Magazine did a profile on Romero, he described the new game like it was the greatest advance to gaming since the invention of hands. He explained how the game's advanced AI technology would allow them to create believable supporting characters that would "boost emotional involvement and, eventually, help turn mere games into immersive dramas." He envisioned a future where instead of watching TV, audiences would "tune into" ION's website to catch the latest installment of a game called ...
The Failure:
The hype surrounding Daikatana was unlike anything else in the history of ever. Ever. New gaming websites were being created for the sole purpose of keeping up with the latest info on Romero's upcoming masterpiece. And then, amidst the enormous expectation of the crescent online community, ION published this ad:
"Suck It Down" was a slogan that Gatorade also briefly considered.
Now, where we come from, if you promise someone you're gonna turn them into your bitch, you should buy a few lotions, put out some candles and keep that Isaac Hayes record spinning until the needle catches fire. John Romero did not do any of that. John Romero brought some Doritos and a Billy Ocean cassette.
This marks the first Billy Ocean reference in Cracked history.
The ad wasn't just douchey, it also proved to be a disastrous mistake that seriously damaged the company. It was the product of ION's arrogance: They were so sure they'd have the game ready by Christmas that they bought a shitload of ad space in advance, so when the time came around and Daikatana still wasn't anywhere near ready, they had to do SOMETHING with it, right? They couldn't just print an ad with Romero and his partner Tom Hall looking stupid and- actually, that would have been preferable.
File photo.
We'll never know, because Daikatana finally came out in 2000, three years after its announced release date. And, in a shocking twist no one could have anticipated, it sucked. The highly advanced AI technology Romero had praised? It turned out to involve enemies running towards the player and getting trapped helplessly behind random objects. Other bad guys walked around completely ignoring you, even if you attacked them repeatedly.
But the suckiest part of the game was the part that was supposed to make us all wet our pants in amazement: the infamous sidekick system.
Also known as the "Jar Jar" effect.
The player was forced to collaborate with two annoying computer controlled characters, losing the game if they were killed or left behind. Watch this video where a player tries to get his sidekicks to pick up a necessary item, which causes them to chase each other in circles:
The thing is, Daikatana would have been bad even if they'd met their release date. But by getting delayed until 2000, it would wind up coming out after a little game called Half Life completely redefined the genre. It'd be like if you went to a concert where Elvis was the opening act, and the next act that took the stage did The Aristocrats.
#4. After Zorro: The Crimson Clown
When pulp writer Johnston McCulley published a story called The Curse of Capistrano in 1919 and included the character Zorro, he had no idea he'd be writing about the masked swordsman until he dropped dead in 1958. But in the mid 1920s McCulley wanted to break out from Zorro and focus on a new creation, a modern day Robin Hood he called ...
The Failure:
The cover would seem to suggest that The Crimson Clown was the codename for some sort of voyeuristic pervert. The truth was even more disturbing: He was an actual clown.
What's scarier than a clown pointing a gun at you? A clown pointing a gun at you while drunk.
A clown who fights crime. Or is a criminal, we're not sure. We're going to level with you here: We're way out of our depth on this one. This shit is just too bizarre for us, so we'll let the back cover of a recent re-edition explain what it's about:
"[The Crimson Clown]'s back with more insane adventures involving his red clown outfit, his handy syringe full of a knockout potion and his penchant for stealing from the rich and giving half to charity."
Wait, why only half? Read on:
"The other half he keeps for himself to pay for clown outfits and syringes."
We'd like to think that anyone who spends large amounts of money on clown outfits and syringes MUST be on some kind of government watch list ...
"Take a close look at this picture. I am going to rape you."
But sadly that's not so, because the Crimson Clown always managed to keep his secret identity of millionaire playboy Delton Prouse hidden from his nemesis, Police Detective Donler. Most stories involved the Clown knocking himself out with his own sleeping drug to make it look like he was just another victim, and apparently Detective Donler didn't think it was too strange that the same millionaire playboy was getting mugged and tied up all over town. Perhaps he noticed the 30 needle marks in his arm and figured the guy was just a junkie (which would actually explain a lot).
"See you in your nightmares."
The Crimson Clown's saga reached its bizarre climax in 1931. McCulley retired the character the same year, and wouldn't write another story featuring him until 1944. Thankfully, mid-40s audiences with their swing music, women's shoulder pads and concentration camps proved to be far too sophisticated for the Crimson Clown, so the revival only lasted for one story. McCulley mostly stuck to Zorro from then on... as he probably should have done from the beginning.

Activate Listener fires twice
When you use setActiveItem on a Carousel to move to a specific card, the Activate event fires twice.
Is there a workaround for this, and/or is this a known bug?

BUMP: Any response

22 May 2011 2:54 PM #6
I am also experiencing this. After looking into the Card Layout's setActiveItem() code, I decided I'd leave a proper fix up to the Sencha dev team
Here is my workaround:
this.on('activate', function() { /* * The activate listener fires twice, so ignore it if it's * recently fired */ if (me.ignoreActivate) { return; } me.ignoreActivate = true; ext.defer(function() { me.ignoreActivate = false; }, 1000); // put the rest of your activation code here });

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Wider U.S. tax collections on Internet sales moved another step closer to reality on Wednesday as legislation in the U.S. Senate cleared another procedural hurdle.
The 75-22 Senate vote cleared the way for consideration of a bill that would empower U.S. states to require out-of-state retailers to collect online sales taxes from customers.
A vote on passage of the measure could come this week.
Supporters include brick-and-mortar retailers such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc and Best Buy Co Inc, as well as cash-strapped state governments.
Amazon.com Inc, which hopes to simplify its U.S. state retail tax situation, also backs the legislation.
Opponents include many online merchants, including eBay Inc and Overstock.com Inc.
Prospects for passage are murky in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, where some Republicans view it as a tax increase.

I would like to build a new ceiling on to an old slightly sagging and poorly finished ceiling (peeling paint and no joint plaster used). I see this way as more convenient and less messy than ripping off the old ceiling. I intend to screw 70mm or 90mm x 35mm (3" or 4" x "1.5") battens onto the existing ceiling joists through the old plaster. I guess this is equivalent to a false ceiling.
Although old, inadequately rated ceiling insulation already exists above the 'old' plaster I want to add newer and better rated insulation between the two ceilings. This will be held in place with metal strapping attached on the downside of the battens before the new ceiling plaster is attached.
Are there any negative aspects to having the insulation enclosed like this? - such as the creation of a moisture trap, for example.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Oct. 2, 2012:
This year you express an unusual amount of serenity and caring. You will do whatever you need to do in order to keep the peace. You still could have a tendency to be overserious. That, too, will pass. You are willing to adapt and change, especially with family members and roommates. Look at real estate as a possible money source. If you are single, a friendship could play a strong role in your romantic life. If you are attached, your partnerships take a higher priority than in the past, particularly those involved with financial matters. TAURUS seems to connect with you on an unusually deep level.

City Ballet: 2 hits, a miss
Posted 12 January 2008 - 09:06 AM
And what a review it is - I clicked to find out which one was the miss (have to entertain my pneumonia somehow) and....
Here is what the Miami Herald had to say:
City Ballet: 2 hits, a miss
Last up was Aurora's Wedding, the third act finale of Marius Petipa's The Sleeping Beauty, which should be put to sleep.
MCB did this famed classic set piece for the gala opening of the Carnival Center in 2006, and presumably the company felt it needed to make use of the elaborate, borrowed American Ballet Theater set and costumes again. They're stunning, a gorgeous, glittering set piece, but they still can't give life to what's essentially static and sometimes silly choreography and some of Tchaikovsky's least charming music.

This was certainly the highlight of the night, which, otherwise, would have been a total failure. Le Valse was perfect. I don't know if is Villela's knowledge of Balanchine's style or what, but he certainly put MCB's dancers at their best tonight with this ballet. Maybe it's just the fact that I'd never seen it before, and the more Mr. B i get, the more i can't describe all the emotions that i feel after watching his ballets Wow, what a powerful piece. The leads were Haiyan Wu, which was magnificent, and a last minute change got another dancer to substitute Renato Panteado partnering Wu. I hate to say that i can't remember his name, and i know it wasn't either Cox or Guerra. I'll find out later, and will post his name, because he did a terrific job. Wu looked so vulnerable on her dancing, and at the same time, she had a total control over technique and choreography. I really loved her. The corps were also great. They all delivered a high dose of elegance in their dancing while certainly creating a disturbing atmosphere , particularly toward the end, when the Death (Jeremy Cox) shows up to seduce the girl. It was really effective and somehow strangely beautiful. The neo-romantic costumes and the elegant set gave the performance the right support. Bravo!
Sorry to Tharp's fans, but...by song # 2, i was wondering what kind of ballroom competition was she watching that inspired her . By song # 5 i was almost asleep...by song # 8 i was counting the light bulbs on the theater balconies...(didn't realize before, but there are a lot!). By song # 9...better not tell. Note: No pointe shoes.
What happened here....? I couldn't tell. The whole thing was the most disconnected and non convincing performance that I've seen in a long time. There were substitutions at the last minute . Rolando Sarabia, again, didn't perform as announced as Desire, and instead we had Renato Panteado , which i like but seemed to be under rehearsed for the role. Also, he and Mary Carmen Catoya (Aurora) seemed to be totally strangers to one another. They looked uncomfortable , and i could NEVER believe that these two were happily dancing to one another, let along getting married. Catoya was a total non-smile act during the whole performance, and looked as she was forced to be there. Technically, there were OK. His variation was fine (nice 5 th landings ), her variation too (great balances) and the fish dives were beautiful , but overall, their partnership was a disaster. I won't even talk about the rest of the production. I just want to mention Jeanette Delgado as Princess Florine. She was the only one that looked interested in bringing some life to this embarrassing death corpse. Alex Wong as Bluebird is also worth to mention. He delivered clean high jumps and lightness as the role requires...but...i don't know, i still don't get his characterization. Also the music seemed to be played in a veeeeeery slooooow tempo. Oh well, i guess that watching the Sizova/Soloviev DVD just before going to the theater didn't help a lot either...

Oh, BTW bart , the Center was recently renamed as Arsht Center, right after one Adrienne Arsht dropped a nice $30 million to relieve its imminent bankruptcy. Carnival Cruise Line, with its former $10 million donation (which they took back immediately after they knew of the new deal) is out. Ms. Arsht, with her fresh bigger/yummier contribution, is in. Bienvenido a Miami!

No doubt they will be celebrating Arshtival in Rio this year.

I was at Friday's West Palm opener last night and will also be attending tonight and tomorrow. Will post after seeing the various casts.
But I just wanted to say that what I saw tends to confirm the doubts about Aurora's Wedding. A friend who has seen just about every major Sleeping Beauty in New York City since Danilova made a comment that I thought I'd never hear from her --- and certainly never thought I'd agree with. "I wish they had used a recording."
The orchestra -- which had just played Ravel's music for La Valse in a rich, sophisticated manner, with pulsing rhythms and beautiful tone, could not handle the Tchaikovsky score. The dancers, too, had difficulty adjusting to a style of movement and projection which is a foreign language to them. I had forgotten just how difficult Petipa is to dance accurately, and with the correct accents and feeling.
One more thing: La Valse. What an extraordinary theater piece -- eerie, coldly sensual, full of beautiful movement, especially the bewitching port de bras, all uncannnily aligned to the music. The entire company made this piece their own, even the youngest and newest dancers. Balanchine's technique and spirit still reign at MCB. Onward ... in time ... to Petipa?
More about the rest later.

Posted 19 January 2008 - 11:16 AM
Yes for Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm. I don't know about Naples, where the Naples Philharmonic did Nutcracker.
Does anyone know if the orchestra is the same for the different venues?
I should add that up to this point I was enormously impressed by the orchestra -- the Opus One Orchestra -- and especially its very dance-attentive conductor Juan Francisco La Manna. They really did a spectacular job with the three very different scores for Jewels, including the Tchaikovsky Diamonds section. Thus the surprise about Sleleping Beauty.

If that is an indicator of the level of his involvement in each of the 3 pieces, it may explain why La Valse was by far the most successful of the 3 works performed during this program -- why Sinatra Songs, charming and lovely to look at, came across as a work in progress that is "almost there" -- and why Aurora's Wedding was, despite all the talent on the stage, was in the end a disappointment.
Villella -- who can be a master-story teller and word-spinner when he wants to be -- was particularly eloquent on La Valse. His theme was that Balanchine wanted his dancers to be "poets of gesture" and that Balanchine was always taking the dancer and the audience "away from the literal" (i.e., away from "just the steps").
He spoke of "the fallacy that Balanchine never told stories"and repeated a story he's told before: about the time when Villella was struggling to get the look and the feeling that he knew was required for the role of Prodigal Son. Balanchine finally took pity on him and told him: "Byzantine icons, dear. Byzantine icons." That was all. But it was enough to send Villella to the museum where he got what he needed to make the role his.
Villella told the audience the "story" of La Valse. He described in detail the Death-and-the-Maiden plot and also the cultrual context -- mid 19th century allusions to work llike Poe's "Mask of the Red Death"; "contemporary" allusions (late 1940s and 50's) such as Dior's "New Look" and its influence on the elaborate,d eerie port de bras of the 3 women who open the ballet. It was fascinating.
During the Q and A, a woman asked him if he had ever thought of writing a book of ballet "stories." He said he would rather leave that to professional writers, but that IF he ever did such a book, he would call it "What I Tell My Dancers."
Villella, I gather, was very involved in the staging the revival of La Valse. He told these "stories" to his dancers -- each of whom can do the steps quite well, but all of whom have been born in a world that is far from that of this strange, powerful ballet. American kids nowadays don't go to balls -- nor have they for a long time. They don't waltz (nor can they see the waltz as a metaphor for anything); they've been warned not to surrender passionately to dark strangers who give them black jewelry and gloves. And when they do something self-destructive, it's more likely to involve drugs, speeding cars, or guns than dancing. Young dancers need assistance to enter into the emotions, code of behavior, and layers of meaning contained in a work like La Valse. They have to discover and enter into the poetry of the gestures. Villella clearly considers that helpling them do this was a priority.
In response, the company has made La Valse their own. Every dancer on the stage had the style. Some of the most exciting dancing came from the corps, a number of whom were company and school apprentices in their teens. It was quite wonderful to see the energy, conviction and execution.
Of the casts I saw, Haiyian Wu and Jennifer Kronenberg were outstanding Women in White. Wu, a lyrical dancer who can sometimes err on the side of blandness, was mesmerised even more than attracted by Death (an elegant but effectively understated Jeremy Cox). Sweet, innocent and slightly passive at the beginning of the ballet, she now rushed heedlessly towards him. She became beautifully frenzied, delighted by his gifts, thrusting her arms into the black gloves and dancing with what I can only call abandon. It was an astonishing transformation, but completely convincing.
Jennifer Kronenberg came to the ball more confidently that Wu. She was looking for a good time but also slightly bored. She had been to balls like this before. She toyed a bit with the man who wished to be her partner. She did not so much reject him as use him up and leave him in her dust. When Death (Cox again) appeared, Kronenberg herself seemed surprised at the suddenness and power of her attraction. Everything was more sexual. She seized the black necklace greedily but eased her arms into the black gloves more deliberately and erotically than it is usually done.
Standouts for me as the team of "3 Fates" performed by Callie Manning, Andrea Spiridonakos, and Tiffany Hedman. Jeannette Delgado and Coryphee Michael Breedon were a fleet and graceful first couple, anxious to get to the ball. Katia Carranza was haunting as the the woman in the 3rd couple -- the one who keeps retreating from her partner until she is eventually drawn away from him. Her escort, Yang Zou, looked puzzled by it all but partnered the 3 Fates elegantly.
The corps seemed to have no problem with the speed and coordination. They appeared to be driven by the changing pulses of the waltz but everything -- hands, feet, carriage of head and chest -- always remained in the required style no matter how complicated the patterns got. I was especially impessed by the the way six lines of dancers passed back and forth while Guerra carried the dead girl upstage, and by the tkhey cicled, jumping, around the body of the girl, accelarating into a crouching run that seemed to become faster and faster, continuing even as the curtain fell. What an ending!
You might compare the three performances on this program by thinking of different ways that people go about acquiring a second language.
MCB gave the dancers of La Valse a total-immersion course in the language. Edward Villella, with his long experience and veneration of Balanchine, is with them every day. As a result, even though they're not native-speakers, they sure sound like the real thing.
The Miami dancers are well on their way to speaking the language Tharp and Sinatra Songs as well. But they're not fluent, and speaking colloquially comes and goes. You know that they will get it in time, but they're not there yet.
What about Sleeping Beauty? To extend the metaphor, it seemed that they'd learned this language from tapes produced by non-native speakers. (Indeed, this most difficult and complex of all ballets was staged for them by a teacher at their own ballet school.) Most of the words and almost all the grammar were there. But the tone and accent for the most part were off. Despite the beautiful costumes and impessive set, those on stage were still, clearly, contemporary Americans one step removed Petipa and the mythological world of fairies and princesses.

Haiyan Wu and Jeremy Cox were once again a fine first couple in "Softly as I Leave You." From their entrance they make you aware of just how beautiful classic ballroom dancing can be. Wu's grace and willowy flexibility fit the music perfectly. Wu projecte happiness and even a soft kind of rapture. Cox -- with a couple of beautifully modulated multiple pirouettes -- was a fine, attentive partner.
Jennifer Kronenberg was back in "One for My Baby (and One More for the Road)," this time with Carlos Guerra. Tipsy and gently humorous in their first appeareance, the couple sobered up for the reprise and for the finale -- both of which showed Kronenberg's sweeping legwork and Guerra's partnering very well.
The older, deeper couple -- in "All the Way" -- were Deanna Seay on Mikhail Nikitine. In some ways this was my favorite partnership of the evening. Nothing flashy, nothing grand, nothing funny: just the closeness and hand-in-glove quality of a couple who had lived and learned to be together.
I also delighted in Patricia Delgado in "Domani" (with Alexadre Dufaur and Daniel Baker in different performances) and Katia Carranza in the apache dance, "That's Life." Delgado continues to grow and surprise: she was a fireball in ruffled red dress. Carranza, small but sexy and also dressed in red, was as good as I can imagine anyone being being tossed around by gum-chewing Renato Penteado. She gave as good as she got. I don't know how, but even though this couple had probably gone through the same routine a hundred times, the love buried deep at the heart of their world-weary, combative relationship came through.
I much preferred Tharp's 1980s ballet, which I've seen several times over the years, to her earlier Deuce Coupe or her shortened Sinatra Suite. The structure is simpler: 3 couples dance in turn, and then together; then 4 more couples dance. In the end, all the couples come together for a reprise of "My Way."
Tharp fills the stage with movement even when there are only two people. It's movement that makes sense and actually builds to something, not the random doodling of Deuce Coupe. Each couple's dance is complete, self-contained, a little world for two. Each dance is faithful to the feeling of the song, but much more subtley and indirectly than in the earlier work. When the couples begin to dance all together at the end , their individual styles and stories are merged into an shared experience of lifts, turns, gliding. Very beautiful ... and somehow hopeful.
Aurora's Wedding, Petipa.
I've complained enough about this production.
But I haven't mentioned one big thing: the way the Lilac Fairy gets lost in all the action. A big problem with doing Act III as a free-standing ballet is that the larger plot is lost -- this is "Sleeping Beaty" without a context. Deanna Seay and Jennifer Kronenberg were lovely, and eached danced very well, but they were defeated by several things:
(1) turgid, slow and uneven tempi from the orchestra, very notable in the Lilac Fairy's big first variation;
(2) blocking which distracted from the Lilac Fairy's central role in the entire ballet;
(3) the need for coaching by someone who had extensive experience with, and who understood, the signficance and potential of this role.
I wish we had the chance to see these two fine dancers under more favorable conditions.
Most Promising Bluebird/ Florine: Alex Wong and Jeanette Delgado were a winning combination. They were fast, sharp, full of energy, and thrilled by their own -- and each other movements. Unlike the other cast, the story line of learning to fly was clear. With time and lots of performance expereince they could be truly world-class in these roles.
Something New in Fish Dives: One Aurora/Desire couple executed a series of three fish dives as a graceful, slightly tentative slide down towards the floor. Tchaikowsky's music goes "boom"; they performed "swo-o-osh." Mary Carmen Catoya and Penteado did it right.
The Concept of Monarchy Is Dead in Miami: The casting of the King and Queen seemed to be based on the principle: "Who's not doing anything tonight? Preferably someone under 20." This was part of a pattern of ignoring the regal, hierarchical assumptions that are at the heart of the ballet. I know that Act III all about Aurora, but it didn't make sense that almost every ignored the King and Queen, turning their backs on them literally for most of the Act. Even Aurora didn't seem to know who they were.
Is Aurora's Wedding a Tragedy? So you might think based on the facial expressions -- and the complete absence of smiles -- of one of the Auroras. Think Camille or Mimi at the end of their lives. Or possibly Marie Antoinette or Suor Angelica ascending the steps to the guillotine. Romantic agony. Not appropriate and very counter-productive, I would say.
Please Work-a on the Mazurka: This dance -- cut into two -- was a mess. Considering how wonderfully the same dancers performed mazurka in Diamonds only a month ago, I can only blame this on the people who who staged it this time around.
Just because you're a Good Fairy Doesn't Mean You Can Forget About Attack: Sara Esty as the Fairy of the Golden Vine was the only member of the fairy contingent to execute her hand and arm movements with the thrust, extension and precision calleld for by the choreography and demanded by the music. She was delightful and very musical. Others for the most part waved their hands or pointed their fingers as part of a blur of motion. They can do better, and they HAVE done better in numerous other ballets.
Posted 26 January 2008 - 05:01 AM
A post by Dale -- on the Ballet Videos forum -- led me to a video of Bluebird/Princess Florine's variation performed at a reacent New Year's Gala at the Maryinsky.
I definitely preferred Alex Wong's strong, light, Bluebird over the clunkier and duller version by Anton Korsakov. Watching this Kirov video makes me admire Wong's work even more than I have before -- especially considering his youth and inexperience in this kind of repertoire.
Yulia Bolshakova's section -- especially praised by Dale -- was a reminder of just why this pas de deux is loved and admired so much. Bolshakova (and the conductor) make it important.
You know from the Kirov that Florine is a princess, gracious and regal. There is time, for instance, to watch Bolshakova's beautiful port de bras. You see her listening to the singing of the Bluebird. She is always extending, reaching out. During these six and a half minutes you are entranced by the visualization of something very beautiful, told by brilliant story-tellers.
It was precisely this kind of artistic depth that was missing from the Miami. One of the artistic highlights in all ballet became, simply, an occasion for fast dancing. On that level it worked. But it went no farther, despite the potential of the young dancers Wong and Jeanette Delgado.
Did these young dancers, new to the ballet and to the style, get the chance to watch and discuss performances like this while preparing roles, I wonder? What about those who staged, coached, and conducted the ballet?

Where does the word "Pech" originate, and does it have another meaning?
Also, I'd like to know what's the antonym of "Pechvogel"? "lokvogel"?
"Pech" originates from it's original and still used meaning of pitch, a sticky tar resin that is left over when producing charcoal from wood.
There was a religious believe that there is a lot of "Pech" in hell, thus the connotation with bad luck (see also Grimm's "Frau Holle", "Pechmarie und Goldmarie" and other fairy tales). See also:
"Pech haben" comes from a student's saying in the 18th century to someone who had bad luck. This is a shortening for "Pechvogel". "Pechvogel" on the other hand originates from a haunting method to catch birds by putting pitch on tree branches. (Source: DWDS)
Made a slight mistake and explained "Pechvogel" not "Pech" itself. Delete if necessary.
The German Wikipedia says that the word originated in medieval times and comes from a practice in bird hunting and trapping. Tar was lathered on the branches of a tree, so birds would stick to them when they landed and the bird could be caught easily. Therefore "Pechvogel" became a symbol for someone struck by misfortune. Several other German websites support this explanation of the origin.
Regarding the antonym, "Glückspilz" is correct. "Glücksvogel" can also be used, it is less common though.
An antonym of "Pechvogel" is Glückspilz

Delcie earned a B.S. from NDSU and a M.S. from UND. She has taught people from 3-73, but mostly teenagers for 25 years at DLHS.
She enjoys family (including a dog and two cats), home, flowers, watching kids and critters, travel, living in North Dakota with 4 seasons, reading, writing, researching (the wonders of a computer!), and genealogy.
"People have no idea what their cat is thinking, but they are sure they have God all figured out." Anon
In 1365 Chaucer wrote of the Friar and the Monk, the Summoner and the Pardoner. They were clergy who were out to benefit themselves. Men who were not faithful to their vows or their flocks. Fifty years ago, when our clock radio turned on, the voice was asking for money in the name of God. We still hear and see the charlatans on radio and TV, trying to pry money out of the listeners/watchers. They publish books, go on tours, and get rich on fooling good people. Last week we watched a documentary on Jim Jones and others who led their flocks to their deaths.
Recently I overheard a woman say she was voting for a certain person because "he's a minister; he must be a good person...." Has she not heard of the scandals involving clergy visiting prostistures of one gender or the other, or of clergy sexually abusing children?
P. T. Barnum said, "There is a sucker born every minute." Anyone willing to send money to a stranger or move away to a remote enclave of "believers" in the name of God, must be a sucker. I feel safe in saying that person who claims to know all about what God wants for you, is more interested in transfering your money into his or her bank account than s/he is interested in your soul. These characters prey on the weak, the ill, the distressed, the suffering. They promise healing, riches, love. They cannot deliver. God cannot be bribed or manipulated.
People need to question, to be autonomous, to THINK, to seek wisdom--- the Will of God. Remember the prayer, "not MY will, but Thine.
"Animals have these advantages over man: they have no theologians to instruct them, their funerals cost them nothing, and no one starts lawsluits over their wills. Voltaire

Suppose I took an exam and did poorly on it. Would it be good to try and redo those questions again without looking at the answers? If so, how long should I wait before I try those questions again and what should I do in the mean time?
Suppose I took an exam and did poorly on it. Would it be good to try and redo those questions again without looking at the answers? If so, how long should I wait before I try those questions again and what should I do in the mean time?
If you just redo the exam on your own without any practice/learning in between there will not be much of an improvement IMO. My approach would be to go over the topics/questions asked and single those out where you think (or already know) that you did poorly. Then sit down and get some learning/practice done on these topics until you feel confident that you are able to give an decent answer.
As for the timing: start now. We all tend to procrastinate and you will feel better if you know you can do better the next time.
Protip: use your contacts to your fellow students to learn in teams or to get your hands on exams done in the recent years.
I wouldn't recommend simply trying to redo the questions without reviewing or looking at your original answer. I've always found that it's more valuable to look through my incorrect answers to identify why I got it wrong. For example, on math questions, looking for the step where I went wrong (since I usually manage to get at least part of it right). On short answer and essay questions, it can be harder (unless the points are taken off for spelling, grammar, following instructions), but usually the notations made by the grader will help me identify why I scored poorly.
Obviously, when you score poorly on an exam, you might still be lacking the requisite knowledge when you go to review. Take the exam to your notes, textbooks, classmates, and teachers! Make sure you understand what it is that led to the score you got, and do your best to (re)learn it.
After you've put time into that, it might be worthwhile reviewing by retaking the test you originally took, but in general it's not going to gain you much to just retry it as soon as you get your score back. That would be a little like trying to drive a car that's out of gas without taking it to the station first.
If it is a practical question like Maths or Programming etc. then YES otherwise you should look for the answers immediately.(Discuss/ Read). My idea behind this is when we go wrong the quest for knowing it right is immediate. Its normal human tendency trying to forget it. If we know the answer with immediate effect we remember the mistake and the solution both for a longer duration.

Brazil's top planemaker Embraer and Italy's AgustaWestland have dropped joint-venture talks to produce the Anglo-Italian company's helicopters in the South American country.
A brief Embraer statement on Wednesday said the two companies jointly decided "to terminate negotiations without reaching an agreement for the establishment of a joint venture in Brazil."
It gave no explanation for why the talks collapsed.
Last January, Embraer said it signed a memorandum of understanding with AgustaWestland, a unit of Italy's Finmeccanica, to create a joint venture "which could lead to the production of AgustaWestland helicopters in Brazil to be marketed for both commercial and military use in Brazil and Latin America."
The companies then said preliminary studies had shown strong market potential for helicopters to serve Brazil's growing offshore oil and gas sector, as well as for executive transport and military craft.
Embraer is the world's third largest commercial aircraft maker while AgustaWestland is a leader in a number of helicopter markets.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor's office is continuing its review of information into an investigation whether dinners at the governor's mansion violated the Kansas Open Meetings Act.
Matt Peterson, spokesman for Taylor's office, says Monday that staff are reviewing the investigative reports and preparing to present a summary to Taylor. Peterson says the report should be completed in the coming weeks.
The Democrat district attorney is investigating seven dinners held at Cedar Crest, the governor's official residence, in January. Republican members of 13 legislative committees were invited by GOP Gov. Sam Brownback to attend the dinners, which sometimes combined two or three committees with related policy missions.
Taylor launched his investigation this spring after receiving a complaint from The Topeka Capital-Journal and the Kansas Press Association.

Natref, the only inland crude refinery in South Africa, is a joint venture between Sasol and Total. The undisclosed contract value will be booked in Fluor's second quarter of 2013, the company said. This award follows the successful completion of a feasibility study and conceptual engineering by Fluor.
Fluor was awarded a contract by Sasol Technology to perform basic
engineering services associated with the Natref clean
fuels 2 project in Sasolburg, South Africa, the companies
announced on Tuesday.
Natref, the only inland crude refinery in South Africa, is a joint
venture between Sasol and Total. The undisclosed contract value
will be booked in Fluors second quarter of 2013.
Fluor has established a long and successful track
record at Natref, including the execution of the initial clean
fuels project in 2006, said Peter Oosterveer,
president of Fluors energy and chemicals business.
This new contract further demonstrates Fluors
strong position in the global clean
fuels project development arena and our
ability to deliver world-class work across Africa.
This award follows the successful completion of a
feasibility study and conceptual engineering by Fluor. The
purpose of the project is to develop, design and
build new process units on the Natref site in Sasolburg to meet
the legislated fuel specifications as promulgated by the South
Africa government.
In addition, some extensive modifications of existing units
will be evaluated and considered. One of the key components of
the basic engineering phase is to perform detailed up-front
planning and to develop a viable and cost-effective project
execution strategy to safely drive the efficient delivery of
the project within the approved budget, schedule and
The basic engineering phase of the project will initially be
led from Fluors Woodmead office in South Africa with
additional expertise from other Fluor global locations.
Fluor has maintained an ongoing presence in South Africa for
