Chattanooga Ballet - Preview of image from 2011 Calendar
edit by Tenzin Landi
We shot for three grueling days. This was the first day and the longest shoot at three hours. We quickly learned that we couldn't spend the kind of time I'm used to on each set if we were to get all 12 images for the calendar in just 3 days. This was taken at the Bluff View Art District's Sculture Garden. There is a brook to the left of the frame that I wanted to see in the shot, but this turned out to be the best shot so it didn't make the cut. The Veteran's Bridge can be seen in the background. My only regret for this photo was that I didn't have a nice rock for Kirsten to stand on so we could see her foot. Oh well, it's still beautiful. :)
Strobist: One shoot through umbrella with an SB-800 held by Kat on a stand off camera right. One SB-600 raw hand held off camera left to illuminate the off frame brook. Both triggered by SB-900 on camera via Nikon CLS.
An excerpt from the Ballet's FB page: www.facebook.com/pages/Chattanooga-Ballet
"Be on the lookout for Chattanooga Ballet Calendars. We've been working on a wonderful project this year of producing a 2011 calendar. It's full of beautiful pictures of the company dancers around Chattanooga, thanks to the work of Jesse Guardiani and Kathryn Dunn. They will be for sale during the Full Run-thru at the studio on December 4th and at Clara's Boutique in the Tivoli lobby during the public performances of the Nutcracker on December 10th, 11th, and 12th. There is a limited quantity, so get one before they're gone."

your a wizard!!!!
Beautiful, beautiful piece! I love the softness of the colors, and the detail of her wings. Very innocent and fragile. <3
can you please use an adult filter, I'm so tired of how there's nowhere I can go on this site without having to see women being naked, vulnerable objectified, and reduced to their body parts. People always censor guys even if they just have their shirt off, it's like women are perceived as the very objectification of vulnerability and sex.
Clearly you are immature if you find this offensive.
As a woman, your comment to me is very interesting. I did not to show anything provocative in this piece, as it is intended to be a piece of innocence and was created as a representation of nature. I'm sorry if a silhouette of a unclothed body if offensive to you, but the human form does not necessarily equate to objectification. Why does the depiction of a nude woman receive such a negative response from you? Do you believe that classical portraits, such as those by Rembrandt, should be censored as well? I hope you know I do not mean to offend you with any of these questions, I am just curious about your response.
It looks almost like you painted on marble...a truly EXQUISITE feat, if I have anything to say about it!
do you use models?
your art is amazing !
I adore the texture it's just so soft! How on earth are you capable of doing such great work! I'm left wondering

A real life Batmobile, built by Casey Putsch. Photo: Casey Putsch
Movies are among the best ways to imagine what the future will look like, and that vision usually involves cars. Very cool cars, that fly, jump, shoot and generally blow you away.
If you've ever sat on your couch and wished you could try one of the rides favored by film characters, there's a good chance your wish could come true. These six cars from movies set in the future are all available in some form already, or are coming soon. So stop watching and start driving.
1. The DeLorean DMC-12, Back to the Future (1985)
Among the most famous movie cars, the modified DMC-12 was produced by the DeLorean Motor Company in 1981-1982. The original came with gull-wing doors, but it was Doc Brown who added the rockets and tangle of cables that let him and Marty McFly travel through time in the Back to the Future trilogy.
DeLorean has announced that it's bringing an electric DMC-12 to market in 2013, but time traveling capability isn't available just yet.

2. Aston Martin Vanquish, Die Another Day (2002)
James Bond and Aston Martin have had a long, mutually beneficial relationship. But while all of 007′s cars have some wild features, things got a little out of hand in Die Another Day, when the Vanquish went invisible on command.
The idea of the vanishing car isn't so far fetched, however: Mercedes pulled it off earlier this year, though not quite as convincingly as Q did.
3. Batmobile/Tumbler, Batman Begins (2005)
Batman spends a lot of time in his car, and the Batmobile is up to the task of getting him through just about anything. In Batman Begins, Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne gets a requisitioned and heavily upgraded military vehicle.
Complete with a jet engine and a silent electric motor for stealth, the Batmobile, aka the Tumbler, can drive from rooftop to rooftop. One aspiring race car driver has built his own, street legal version, complete with a turbine engine, but I don't think he'd be willing to see if it can do everything the movie version can do.
4. Dallas' Taxi, The Fifth Element (1997)
In the 23rd century world of The Fifth Element, there's nothing special about flying cars. But Korban Dallas, the taxi driver played by Bruce Willis, isn't afraid to break a few traffic laws, making for a much more exciting ride.
Back in the 21st century, we're pretty stuck on the ground. But considering that a flying car is finally coming to market, it's not so hard to imagine that this is what a police chase will look like 200 years from now, or even sooner.
READ MORE: Super Simple, "Invisible" Motorcycle Ignores All Rules of Cool
5. Lexus 2054, Minority Report (2002)
In the future world of Minority Report, cars ride up the sides of buildings and along highways in carefully managed patterns, only to be brusquely disturbed by Tom Cruise crashing through while on the lam. The 2054 concept Cruise drives was specially created the film by Lexus, at the request of Steven Spielberg.
It's a long shot that Lexus will build the concept, but the traffic system through which it drives isn't as unlikely. Road trains are giant convoys of cars linked together to provide smooth traffic flow and cut down on accidents. Look for the first versions to hit the road in ten years or so.
6. Light Cycle, Tron: Legacy
For the 2010 reboot of the Tron movie franchise, Disney brought in Daniel Simon, concept designer and automotive futurist to design a new and improved Light Cycle. The high speed vehicle that creates a trail of light in their wake is stuck to the "Grid," but the real world version isn't. The best part? Not only can you buy one, it will benefit charity.

Oddly, I was just talking to my grandmother, who is 103, and she was telling me about coming into her son's room and seeing a snake hanging on the wall over his crib. She would have been a prime market for one of these.

Baby snakes could get in there.
Actually, I suspect that that's not a snake-proof crib but rather a primitive Skinner box, designed to bring up a "better baby" by scientific methods.

I'll bet that's lead paint.
Any chance it might be intended to keep bugs, not snakes, off babies?
Immidiately made me think of this useful, important parenting tool
Sure, those were useful during the great Snake Plague of Ought-Eight. Totally useless now. A robot-proof crib, however, would come in very handy… now that we live in the future and all.
This is a story my parents told me not too long ago: when I was about four months old, my mom was in the living room reading after she had put me to bed one evening. The family cat, Adolph (so named because she had a splotch of black just below her nose, and another splotch of black on her head that looked like a messy hitleresque hairdo) was mewing up a storm at the entrance to my room. My mom got up, went over, and there was a real, live snake crawling into my crib! She freaked out for a split second, and then tried to corner it while calling my dad (who was at work at the time). He rushed home, got out one of his old ROTC boots, and stomped the living crap out of the poor little guy. They were interested in finding out just what kind of snake it was, so the next day Dad took what was left of the snake to the local university, where a friend of his worked in the Herpetology department (I know, convenient!). Turns out the thing was a common garter snake.
Anyway, the point I'm making is that these snake-proof cribs are probably still relevant and/or useful, so:
1. Begin manufacturing new snake-proof baby cribs
2. ???
3. Profit!
This one sold on Ebay for $206.50. I don't think it was a lot of bidding going on.
Really? I bet there are a ton of dangerous snakes in the British Isles!? Can't think of one right now? Maybe in the Falkens? Can't think of one right now? Think you might have bought crap. Send me your address so I can sell you steampunk antiques from the moon when I move.
Anyone want to buy a bridge? I've got a few for sale. LOL!
Sixteen posts in and none of you has pulled out one of these yet?
"I have had it with these motherf*cking snakes in this motherf*cking crib!"
Poor babies! It does look a little like a Skinner box (for rats.) Betterbabies through merciless conditioning. Run a line of current through parts of it and you can even keep the tots from moving.
Anyone read Brave New World? "The Alphas are ever so much more smart than me. They work ever so hard. Oh, I'm so glad I'm a Beta….."
Can I take it on a plane?
Oh sure, on and on with the robots now, eh? But what about the zombies!? Huh? Will someone please think about the children and design a zombie-proof cradle?
That could really come in handy once the plague hits and we're living in safe zones and all.
Those used to be all the rage in Ireland, until that crucifix-waving bastard Patrick killed the market.
Okay, you folks really want to know about the Better Babies? What you see here is a relic from mainstream Progressive Era eugenics movement. Allow me to quote from David Bender's recent article in the Journal of Social History:
"Using the Women's Home Companion as a national soapbox, [Anna} Richardson publicized baby contests as a way of improving the future of the race. Richardson brought national attention in 1913 to the baby contests, but enthusiasm had already been growing, not only on the state fair circuit, but also in urban reform circles. Starting in 1912, settlement houses and related reform organizations held numerous better baby contests, spreading the gospel of safe milk, scientific upbringing, and moral living to the urban immigrant working class. Richardson estimated that 100,000 babies were judged in the contests of 1913."
…the article continues…
"As shows moved from rural fairs to urban settlement house clinics, the vocabulary and method remained remarkably similar. At the first baby shows, the form to judge children was adapted from the checklist to judge cattle. The same form made its way to cities. Where county fairs might judge the bloodlines of farmyard stock, the urban better baby contest judged the heredity of "immigrant stock.â€
This crib was either used in the competitions, or was a weak attempt to cash in on the name; I'd guess the former.
So, the truth is much creepier than a Skinner box…
"Rikki-tikki, I led Nagaina toward the house, and she has gone into the verandah, and — oh, come quickly — she means killing!"
Rikki-tikki smashed two eggs, and tumbled backward down the melon-bed with the third egg in his mouth, and scuttled to the verandah as hard as he could put foot to the ground. Teddy and his mother and father were there at early breakfast; but Rikki-tikki saw that they were not eating anything. They sat stone-still, and their faces were white. Nagaina was coiled up on the matting by Teddy's chair, within easy striking-distance of Teddy's bare leg, and she was swaying to and fro singing a song of triumph.
"Son of the big man that killed Nag," she hissed, "stay still. I am not ready yet. Wait a little. Keep very still, all you three. If you move I strike, and if you do not move I strike. Oh, foolish people, who killed my Nag!"
Teddy's eyes were fixed on his father, and all his father could do was to whisper, "Sit still, Teddy. You mustn't move. Teddy, keep still."
Then Rikki-tikki came up and cried: "Turn round Nagaina; turn and fight!"
"All in good time," said she, without moving her eyes. "I will settle my account with you presently. Look at your friends, Rikki-tikki. They are still and white; they are afraid. They dare not move, and if you come a step nearer I strike."
"Look at your eggs," said Rikki-tikki, "in the melon-bed near the wall. Go and look, Nagaina."
The big snake turned half round, and saw the egg on the verandah. "Ah-h! Give it to me," she said.
Rikki-tikki put his paws one on each side of the egg, and his eyes were blood-red. "What price for a snake's egg? For a young cobra? For a young king-cobra? For the last — the very last of the brood? The ants are eating all the others down by the melon-bed."
I have lived in Columbus Ohio for nearly 20 years and can honestly say I have never ever seen a snake outside of captivity.
Um. . .maybe they were for export.
just look at those springs and hooks! reminds me of my high chair with casters — i've still got the under-chin scar from tipping forward and hitting the dining room table!

The Red Bull Rampage qualifying round got underway on Friday, September 26 with an elite group of the world's most talented mountain bike riders showcasing their skills on the unique lines they built in the week leading up to the event. Everyone took their first runs down the mountain in the morning, but rain moved into the venue during the second set of runs after only a handful of riders had been able to drop.
The rain intensified, and once lightning was visible in the area the event was postponed for the day. Then thunderstorms pummeled the whole region throughout most of Saturday, and everyone wondered if their building efforts had been washed away. Whether or not the event could resume was on everyone's minds as well.
Fortunately, the weather began to calm down on Saturday night, and organizers were able to re-open the venue on Sunday to finish off the remaining qualifying runs.
Everyone's favorite rider, Graham Agassiz, had crashed in his first run on Friday attempting a massive drop at the top of his run for the first time. He stuck his second attempt on Sunday, blasted the upper ridgeline hip, landed another huge drop and somehow rode out of a gigantic flip deep into the landing of the Polaris RZR booter, shooting straight into the top qualifying spot.
Check out results from qualifying below; the top 10 finishers will meet the 10 pre-qualified riders on Monday for the final (subject to change due to weather). Schedule info for the final will be released on Sunday night.

Today we celebrate one of America's greatest political commentaries, The Federalist Papers. They were penned by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay. They presented their three views on why the Federal Constitution should be passed to take the place of the discarded Articles of Confederation, tying together disparate political theories into a coherent whole. Their publication helped sway an uneasy thirteen colonies to form the United States of America, to be governed by the Constitution of the United States.
Noted GRC expert Michael Rasmussen drew inspiration from the The Federalist Papers for a recent GRC Illustrated article in Compliance Week, entitled "GRC Federalist Papers: A Call to Action". In this article he said that with the modern day complexity of business, "Keeping complexity and change in sync is a significant challenge for boards and executives, as well as governance, risk-management, and compliance professionals (GRC) throughout the business." He decried GRC which operates in a siloed fashion because it inevitably leads to failure. Equally inane is the GRC system which is some kind of out of the box, one size fits all solution, which attempts to implement a GRC process through a single GRC platform.
Rasmussen believes that both styles end in failure to due the complexity and inter-relatedness of modern business. He believes that the "Complexity of business and intricacy and interconnectedness of GRC requires that we have an integrated approach to business systems, data, and GRC processes. However, the opposite is also a challenge: 'monarchy' GRC architecture." More pointedly he said "The challenge for organizations is how to reconcile homogeneous GRC reporting, risk transparency, performance analysis, and compliance with an operating model that is increasingly heterogeneous as transactions, data, processes, relationships, mobility, and assets expand and multiply. GRC fails when risk is addressed as a system of parts that do not integrate and work as a collective whole. GRC fails when it is thought of as a single platform to manage workflow and tasks. GRC is about the interactions and relationships of cause and effect across strategy, process, transactions, information, and technology supporting the business and requires a GRC architecture approach."
His solution is a 'federated' approach to GRC, which he defines as a "GRC architecture that enables oversight, reporting, accountability, and analytics through integration with business processes, data repositories, and enterprise systems. Let GRC work with and throughout the business and not force parts of the business into a mold that does not fit." He concludes by noting that a federated GRC approach allows "agility, stimulates operational dynamics, and, most importantly, effectively leverages rather than vainly tries to control the distributed modern enterprise."
As a part of his article, Rasmussen presented a roundtable discussion with three compliance professional about their thoughts on a federated GRC approach. They were Yo Delmar, Vice President of GRC at MetricStream, Tom Harper, Executive VP /General Auditor, Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago and Jason Mefford, President Mefford Associates. Rasmussen asked the group about their definition of a federated GRC. Mefford said that "To me, a federated approach means a holistic, integrated, and orchestrated GRC capability—I mean a common capability with the same purpose, but autonomy on how to accomplish it at a lower level. Not requiring everyone to conform to a common set of practices or technology, but everyone meeting the same overall objectives and guidelines. The groups must work together for a common purpose using negotiations and compromise instead of someone dictating the specific direction." Delmar put it another way when she said that "GRC, by definition, involves bringing together governance, risk, and compliance disciplines from across what is increasingly becoming a complex, extended enterprise with deep interlocks to customer and supplier ecosystems. It simply isn't realistic to expect organizations to converge on a common set of processes for GRC…A GRC program strives to converge on a common risk and control framework, and perhaps a common issue and remediation process, but will necessarily need to support a wide variety of individual taxonomies, processes, metrics, and workflows."
To get the entire process going, Harper said that it all begins at the top of an organization to establish an effective GRC, "A very high-level corporate acknowledgment of the need to execute in a coordinated way. Without long-term support from the C-suite, individual priorities will dominate and coordination and sharing of infrastructure will be stifled. If the C-suite can advocate for the idea that a federated approach will lead to greater business success, as opposed to just being overhead, the initiative will have much greater chances of success."
Rasmussen ended the roundtable discussion with an interesting question and one which many compliance professionals and others can get stuck, which is "what comes first with federated GRC capability, better communication or better use of resources?" Mefford said that he believe communication comes first, "With good communication I think it's easier to understand the resources that can be shared and agree on how we will run the GRC capability." Harper believes that the go "hand-in-hand" because if employees cannot communicate they probably cannot constructively work together. Delmar believes that you have to "strike the right balance" by "building the mission, goals, and objectives for federation collaboratively with the right stakeholders and communicating these well." If this balance is achieved, it will support "the maturity, readiness, and strategic intent of key stakeholders, —are more successful than those that don't make the conscious choice to manage GRC as a program."
The GRC Illustrated piece provided several examples of governance, risk management, and compliance functions that span layers of the multi-national company. They included:
FEDERATED COMPLIANCE MANAGEMENT. In this area, a federated GRC enables a company to effectively and efficiently identify and manage all of its mandatory requirements and voluntary obligations through a common framework and integrated approach that aligns with business performance and risk management. A federated model strives to harmonize and rationalize requirements at the global, local, and business unit level.
FEDERATED AUDIT MANAGEMENT. Federated GRC allows auditors to provide greater assurance of properly designed and operated controls and insights into business performance, through consistent and reconcilable reports from operational and field audits. A federated model strives to provide greater visibility into emerging risks by enhancing communication between auditors and unit executives.
FEDERATED OVERSIGHT & ASSURANCE. The executive leadership team establishes the program structure and envisions the roadmap to establish and integrate the framework of GRC into enterprise processes and collaboration.
FEDERATED RISK MANAGEMENT. Federated GRC establishes enterprise-wide taxonomies, standards, and methods for risk identification, assessment, management, and reporting while supporting distinct risk methods, taxonomies, and workflows to meet unique needs across the business. Risk information is aggregated, rationalized, and normalized for enterprise risk reporting based on an integrated and flexible framework for documenting and assessing risks, defining controls, managing assessments, identifying issues, and implementing recommendations and remediation plans.
FEDERATED THIRD-PARTY MANAGEMENT. Organizations' operations are distributed across a maze of business relationships: suppliers, vendors, outsourcers, contractors, and agents. Federated GRC includes the integration and oversight of performance, risk, and compliance across the organization's third-party relationships and transactions.
As businesses become more complex and larger, yet more inter-related, having a federated GRC system has moved from as aspiration, to a best practice, to a necessary part of your company's governance and compliance hierarchies. Michael Rasmussen continues to extol the usefulness of such an approach and his article lays out the intellectual underpinnings of such a method. The GRC Illustrated series continues it visual presentations of how a compliance practitioner should think through, create and implement such an approach.

<< the Phoenix robin. Is anyone still
on it? >>
Hi Diane and Narda,
I'm still on the Phoenix robin, and every other robin about hosta I can
find..'cept maybe that one of Clyde's, the BHHS (or do I have my acronyms
mixed up)? Clyde, how do I join that too? With all the lists, I usually
don't remember to check the address to see which group a post came from....I
just read what I have time for and delete when I get too overwhelmed.
On another note, I've been working on a database (to keep track of my hostas)
that is based on one I got from Ken Marek. He graciously shared his
collected data (up thru 1997, I think he said) and his format?? in MSWorks.
This has probably been discussed before, but... I'd sure love to hear what
methods you all use to keep track of your hostas and also your other plants.
Besides this new database of Ken's, I have different spreadsheets for:
Trees/Shrubs/Vines, Perennials, Plants I Want to Try, Books I Own, and
finally...Books I've Read But Don't Own (with comments to remind me if it's a
book I'd want to buy for my 'library' :) and then maps that always seem to
be in need of updating. And another question...do you keep track of
different information for your other plants than you do for your hostas?
Cindy Johnson

p.s. How many of you collect gardening books like you do hostas????

Style: 31373657 Colour:
Sheer maxi slip dress with a V-Neck. Button detailing down the front and crochet accents throughout. Front slit.
Free People
Felt a little cheap
I suspect, after looking at photos of this dress and reading past reviews, that FP created a second batch of this dress but made it a lot more cheap. I ordered the black. It's very, very, very see-through. It definitely needs a slip. The material is pretty flimsy. I'd maybe pay $50 for this dress, but definitely not $128. Returning.
Really short! bad description
I bought the white dress in L size because I'm tall. the model on the picture is supposed to be 178 cm and wears a Small, I'm 180 and to be sure about the lenght I've ordered a L and the dress is at the middle of the calf! bad shopping!
Love this dress
I purchased this dress in both the dusty blue & Sienna because I couldn't decide which one I liked better from the pictures online. In person they are both beautiful colors. I think I'm going to keep them both. I'm 5'3 and I purchased the xs and it fits perfect all around, except in the chest it's a little tight when wearing it with a bra or taking it on & off. I'm a size B cup, so if you have larger breasts, you might want to size up. It's a comfortable, flattering light weight material that can be worn casual for a beach look or dress it up with a nice pair of sandals. The two colors I purchased are not see through, so no need for a slip underneath.
It is shear and see throughout and completely unwearable.. have been searching for a way to wear this for almost a year and it has sat in my closet with the tag... don't waste your money!
Used it for a costume
Height: 5'7" (171 cm) -- Measurements: 32-22-32 (81-55-81). Inverted triangle body shape. Purchased size S in pink. I bought this for a costume event, and some thought it was authentically Victorian (lol). I'm able to wear it with flats, which is always a bonus on maxi dresses.
Gorgeous design, but odd fit, poor craftsmanship
I sooo wanted to love this dress... I even called customer service before ordering and checked the measurements of the model in the photos to make sure it'd fit me... Even ordered up a size... Well, the bust line on the medium I ordered was exactly 30 inches (I measured it laid out flat). I'm 5'11, 145 lb, 34B - usually an S or XS in FP sizing - and I couldn't even put this dress on! I thought to unbutton the top and just have it open over the slip, but the button loops were so tight I was afraid the buttons would pop off if I forced them through. Plus, the seams on both sides were already frayed with loose threads and it looked as if the dress wouldn't withstand a single sitting down in it. Sorry, FP, here comes my first return ever.
Beautiful but does not fit at all like pictured
I was really excited about this dress and was disappointed at how much different it fits in reality than as pictured on the models. It fits more like a moo-moo and it is NOT fitted in the waist or bust area as the pictures would make one believe. I ordered an xs and am 5'7" 109lbs with an average size chest. This is in no way an xs, or fits as a usual FP xs would. I think I may have received a larger size because it is THAT big. Other than that, it really is a stunning color (olive) and the fabric is light and not sheer enough to warrant a slip.
Loved this dress initially so much that purchased both white and charcoal, great dresses. Decided to buy green one as well, but regretted after the first (and last) wear. Wore only once to a beach restaurant and the dress practically fell apart on me. Unlike the other two this one was so flimsy! Fell apart at the seams as I moved around and sat down, was stretching oddly in some places, I had to practically cover my back just to return home. The quality of this dress did not seem to be the same as the other two dresses in which I've done so much more moving around and which held up just fine. Very disappointed!
Hi lnv2001, We're sorry to hear about your Victoria Buttonfront Maxi. Someone from our team will be in touch. - Free People
Loved it, but the buttons :(
I loved this dress, got the Oasis Green in Small, fits pretty well, maybe a little loose, just enough to put on over my head. The color is beautiful, the fabric is light and breezy, the green isn't too sheer and I can get away without a slip. But the buttons. :( I've worn this dress twice so far and three buttons have fallen off. And it only comes with one extra button. I don't know what to do with it anymore, I really love it but it just looks silly with all the missing buttons!

[view] •
Firework Star is an item that was implemented in update 1.4.6, and determines the effect, color, and shape of a Firework Rocket. Using a dye will enable the Firework Star to portray a different color. Any dye is usable to create a Firework Star. If you use multiple dyes, you can make the Firework Star fade to a different color. In the PS3 Edition, the player must have some dye to try to craft one; doing so will cause the crafting interface to turn into the fireworks crafting interface, which is basically the PS3 inventory with a crafting grid above it where items that cannot be used to make a Firework Star or Firework Rocket are greyed out and unselectable. In the PS3 edition, using multiple dyes chanes the colour of the star, with different orders of dye further changing the colour. A fade to a different colour is achieved by placing the Firework Star back in the interface and crafting it with more dyes in the PS3 edition.
When crafting a Firework Star adding one of these items to the crafting recipe adds a unique effect.
- Gold Nugget = Star Shape
- Diamond = Trail
- Glowstone Dust = Twinkle
- Fire Charge = Big Ball
- Feathers = Burst
- Any mob head = Creeper Face
If you do not add any of the items listed above, then your firework star will have a small ball effect. The trail and twinkle effects are compatible with the other effects.
- Firework Stars look very similar to gunpowder, but have a different shape.
- Firework Stars also have the appearance of a more circular clay clump, but with gunpowder's color.
- The colour or colours of the dye or dyes used in creating a Firework Star changes the colour of the coloured bits on the inventory sprite of coloured Firewor Stars.

What are we talking about?
A new ballet, based on a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, and the brainchild of electro-pop duo the Pet Shop Boys.
Elevator Pitch
"West End Girls" meet "The Little Match Girl".
Prime Movers
Olivier Award-winner Javier de Frutos is in charge of direction and choreography. Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe – aka Pet Shop Boys – composed the score. Playwright and director Matthew Dunster adapted Andersen's tale.
The Stars
Former Royal Ballet principal Ivan Putrov is a soloist, alongside Aaron Sillis and Clemmie Sveaas. Sillis is no stranger to disco: he's danced for the likes of Kylie, Cheryl Cole and the PSBs themselves.
The Early Buzz
Website Slate comments: "There's nothing wrong with JLS, but whatever else you can say about them, they're unlikely to ever perform a song about the Russian revolution, or write the score for a ballet. For that kind of pop thrill we turn to the Pet Shop Boys ... [the ballet's] themes of sacrifice, redemption and justice are very much typical of the subject matter Neil Tennant usually deals in."
Insider Knowledge
While it's their first foray into ballet, the PSBs are known for their cross-media projects: see also their 2001 musical Closer to Heaven, written with playwright Jonathan Harvey; their 2005 soundtrack for Eisenstein's film classic Battleship Potemkin, and their music for David Almond's play My Dad's a Birdman, at the Young Vic last year.
It's great that...
The project came about so serendipitously. Four years ago, Putrov rang Tennant and asked him to write a piece of dance music for him; two days later, Lowe called Tennant and said he'd been reading this Andersen story about a poor man who makes a magnificent clock.
It's a shame that...
After De Frutos's ballet Eternal Damnation to Sancho and Sanchez was pulled from BBC schedules because it was deemed to be too scandalous (it featured a deformed pope abusing a pregnant nun), TV bosses have presumably steered clear this time and there are currently no plans to broadcast the show.
Hit potential
Likely to pull in dance audiences, theatregoers and pop-music fans. And while it's billed as a family friendly piece, those au fait with De Frutos's work may still hope to sniff out a scandal.
The details
The Most Incredible Thing is at Sadler's Wells, London EC1 (sadlerswells.com), 22 to 26 March.

The build-up to Saturday's Old Firm match will focus on two players, one of whom, Celtic's Aiden McGeady, will not even be involved because he has been dropped for a fortnight for bad behaviour by Gordon Strachan.
Celtic fans are split on the issue, with pro-McGeady and pro-Strachan camps respectively arguing for the merits of flair and discipline. The debate will continue up to kick-off, throughout the game and afterwards.
The other player is Kris Boyd, whose winner for Rangers on Saturday was the catalyst for the first Happy Christmas headlines of the festive season.
The goal should earn Boyd a starting place in an Old Firm match under Walter Smith for only the second time in what will be the eighth derby since Smith returned to Ibrox in January 2007.
Smith believed the enigmatic 25-year-old to be too flaky in big games to play him in any of the last five meetings with Celtic. But since Boyd announced on 12 October he would not make himself available again for Scotland under George Burley he seems to have matured, on and off the pitch, and become a more consistent all-round contributor. Boyd himself says he is doing nothing different and that he has nothing to prove to anyone, but Smith is among those who have noticed a change. A previous cockiness in Boyd is giving way to something approaching humility.
Hence after Rangers had huffed and puffed (Boyd's words, and accurate) against a Hibernian team who, on this day, were dogged but limited, he admitted he should actually have scored twice, and deflected all praise to his team-mates. "My goals are down to the amount of chances being created for me," he said.
Saturday's winner was from an overhead kick that was the single best piece of skill in the game. It was Boyd's 18th goal in 18 starts this season in all competitions, and 16th in the Scottish Premier League, to take his SPL career tally to 131. Boyd is on track to overtake the all-time leader, Henrik Larsson, who hit SPL 158 goals, sometime next season.
Smith was asked if Boyd could now be trusted to start an Old Firm game and the manager said: "He's scoring all the time and hopefully that can continue." If Boyd does not get picked, he would have every right to feel aggrieved. He is holding up his part of a bargain.
In search of a way to wound Burley with a flounce, he actually stumbled on a mission of self-improvement. Perhaps McGeady can learn a lesson or two from that. Boyd seems, in all ways, less self-regarding these days. He could not even recall on Saturday whether he had scored in six consecutive games before, as he now has. For the record, he has done it once before, in an eight-match scoring run that comprised 13 goals in his last seven games for Kilmarnock in 2005 and his Rangers debut in January 2006. A repeat could not be more timely.
Goal: Boyd (61) 1-0.
Rangers (4-4-2): McGregor; Whittaker, Broadfoot, Weir, Papac; Davis, Ferguson, Mendes, Lafferty; Miller (Novo, 74), Boyd. Substitutes not used: Alexander (gk), McCulloch, Beasley, Dailly, Niguez, Fleck.
Hibernian (4-4-2): Ma-Kalambay; Van Zanten, Hogg, Jones, Murray; Rankin, Bamba, Thicot (Yantorno, 74), O'Brien; Nish (Pinau, 51), Fletcher. Substitutes not used: McNeil (gk), Keenan, Stevenson, Chisholm, Campbell.
Referee: S Conroy (Scotland).
Booked: Hibernian: Van Zanten.
Man of the match: Mendes.
Attendance: 49,538.
*Goals from Georgios Samaras, Koki Mizuno and Scott McDonald gave Celtic victory at Falkirk yesterday as the champions restored their lead over Rangers at the top of the SPL to four points. Samaras headed Scott McDonald's cross in just after the break. Mizuno, making his first start for the club, finished Japan international team-mate Shunsuke Nakamura's pass on 90 minutes, before McDonald sealed the win deep in stoppage time.

Agriculture minister Sharad Pawar on Thursday ruled out a drop in production of onions this year and said the situation should improve in about three weeks.
His colleague commerce minister Anand Sharma, however, chose to blame hoarding as the cause, but that came as little consolation to Delhi CM Shiela Dikshit who sought urgent measures to cool spiraling prices.
Pawar said the temporary shortage was fuelled by delay in harvests and bottoming out of previous stocks.
Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit met Pawar and food minister KV Thomas and requested them to order NAFED, the government's main food trading arm, to source onions and sell them on a "no-profit no-loss" basis.
"We are exploring the possibility of procuring onions at wholesale rates from major onion producing states, preferably from the cities of Nasik and Pune to improve supply," Dikshit said.
"The onion shortage is a temporary situation. Heavy rains have affected crops in Karnataka and Maharashtra. Total area under the crop is higher than that of last year. No drop in production is expected," Pawar said.
Commerce minister Sharma said there was no "real" scarcity of the produce and prices were expected to stabilise in the coming weeks.

This review is from: Kingston 8GB DataTraveler 100 G3 USB 3.0 Flash Drive (DT100G3/8GB)
Pros: cheap
Cons: This drive is seriously slow. I get less then 5 MB/s write speeds. I guess I should have known because there is no posted info on the speed of this drive. I just figured because it was a USB 3.0 drive it would be faster.
Other Thoughts: It is kind of misleading to call it a USB 3.0 drive. if they published the speeds I don't think anyone would buy it even for $7.READ FULL REVIEW
