For the moment there doesn’t seem to be a suitable candidate within the Staatsoper and Volksoper troupe (the one male dancer whom I’ve seen in Vienna who might have been able to carry the show was let go last year Harald Baluch)…. If ballet directory Gyula Harangoza would bring in a couple of top-notch teachers (perhaps one native Russian star for the large Russian contingent) to personally train his female leads (that’s the system used in Moscow at the Bolshoi and in St Petersburg at the Marinsky: a private coach for each leading dancer), he has the talent in the stable to push the level of dance in Vienna up a level.

Rock Ballet – Political Ballet: <br />New Direction in Dance from Joni MItchell and William Forsythe
It turns out that Joni Mitchell is back at work on an amazing antiwar production, of all things a ballet.She is still highly motivated by politics:“Humbly I hope we can make a difference with this ballet,” she told him, speaking of her outrage about the foreign and environmental policies of the United States…. We’re wasting our time on this fairy tale war, when the real war is with God’s creation.

Damian Loeb’s Unofficial Website:Don’t miss Loeb’s out of date – alas – but very curious photo journal.
Leave a CommentIt looks like I got out just in time: While the two 50% shareholders fight for control, the company’s hundreds of thousands of customers are getting angrier and angrier…. The only problem is their domain names are locked up, and their authorization codes are being withheld preventing transfers to alternative registrars.

If you pay someone $7 / hour (like most Indian Elance developers ask for) of course that you can expect that, as the project progresses, any quality that was in the code will disappear and you will end up paying someone to fix it or lose money since your product won’t work. On the other hand if you find a trusted developer and pay him properly (or even a bit above usual price for an offshore developer – which is still a lot cheaper than hiring an UK developer), he’ll be happy and you’ll be as he will produce quality code.

Just discovered a great new service, oDesk. It’s pretty technical/business so I’ve posted it to the foliovision website.
4 CommentsIm sure this program will be an attempt by the BBC to confuse and muddy the waters like all good counter intelligence intends and to label those that question the offical conspiracy theory(which it is) as paranoid conspiracy nutters who dare to break loose from the herd and question our media guided reality?… To believe in the “Conspiracy Theory” all you have to believe is that George Bush and a few Cronies with the help of a former CIA asset who just happens to belong to a family that was VERY close to the President, and perhaps less than 1,000 millitary or intellegence people executed an enhanced version of Operation Northwoods (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods).
1 CommentI am a trancehead, I like it, and I believe the German scene has come close to getting it perfect, would love more than anything to go there…. I even had a discussion with my father, and got him to understand that it’s more than just **thump*thump** He sees it as a natural regression to when we were all in our mothers womb, listening to the heartbeat.
