Alrighty! So there you have a few holiday gift ideas. Thanks for reading everyone! |
Here are some pics of our backstage fun! :) |
Audience! :D |
I was tired... And the table looked comfortable... |
My sister who we call the "Card Shark" :P |
We play A LOT of cards backstage |
Little pages at their first rehearsal on stage! :) |
Hmm... I think Drosselmeyer brought one doll too many. ;) |

Hey readers! I was recently left a comment regarding a competition for the "Top Dance Blog" and would like to send a thank-you to the blogger who left it. Thank you! :) |
So, I've gladly decided to enter the competition. I've been running this blog for about a year and a half and SO much has happened in that time frame. As I look back at all of my posts throughout the year it's just crazy to see how much can change in such a short amount of time... (Gah! Now I'm getting all weepy-eyed!) |
Well ANYWAY, here's the link to the contest in case any of you other ballet-bloggers wanted to submit your blog: http://danceadvantage.net/2010/12/08/top-dance-blog/ |
You can support my blog in the contest by voting! All you have to do is post a comment below! Just something short and sweet would be awesome! :D To help any further you can spread the word about my blog on Facebook/Twitter or even in person to your friends. Don't forget to tell them to vote too! :) |
Thank you to every last one of my readers, you guys are truly awesome! |
Christmas vacation is coming right up! (Where has the time gone?!) Over vacation we tend to lose a lot of the capability we had worked so hard for all year. First you lose your fouettes, then your turning ability, then slowly, your flexibility goes down the drain. Auditions for many schools and summer camps are in Janu... |
Stretch. While you're sitting down in your living room watching the super bowl or some cheesy holiday special, lay yourself in a split. Stay there for a few minutes before switching to the other side. You'd be surprised how infulential stretching over vacation can be. |
Jog. Keep that stamina up. After your big holiday feasts grab a few family members/friends and jog around your festively decked town. It's actually a LOT more fun than it sounds, I promise. :) |
Plie. Stand at a window, hold onto a chair/table, whatever could suit as a barre and do a short barre. This is also a good time to correct any habits that you previously had as your body will forget how exactly to do things and it's a lot easier to correct those no-no's all we all have. |
Rest yourself. We have vacation for a reason, we need to give our hardworking bodies a break. Don't go overboard with any exercises/stretches as that defeats the purpose of the much needed rest. ;) It's the most wonderful time of the year... Enjoy it. |
Sorry I haven't written a while guys. Life's been crazy. Nutcracker has just finished and I started drivers ed the day after the first show. Gah! Busy busy... |

There should be more up soon, but as of right now that's all I could get a hold of. :) |
I thought I was gonna be really nervous to perform this role. I mean for my first solo... That's a pretty big task at hand. But as I was waiting in the wings, putting some rosin on my shoes and pacing like I always do before a show, I stopped and realized that I wasn't nervous at all. It was the strangest thing because... |
I think the trick to calming those nerves is to not have to think. After months of running that dance over... and over... and over again, I was quite confident that I knew it. So before going on stage I wasn't constantly running it in my head. In fact, I wasn't thinking about it at all. I was just watching the dancers ... |

Prompted by the announcements of other carriers' intentions to reduce service to Japan, Hawaiian Airlines has reaffirmed its commitment to Japan and its broader plan of expansion in Asia. |
"The purposeful and business-like approach of Japan to recovering from these events is an example to us all. One cannot fail to be impressed by how quickly daily activity has returned to near normality in Tokyo and Osaka," he said. |
"It is clearly the case that those of us watching developments in Japan from afar have little appreciation for what is actually happening in these cities that are some distance away from where devastation has occurred," Dunkerley said. |
Dunkerley said Hawaiian's Tokyo service serves primarily Japan-originating travelers who appear to be more inclined to keep their travel plans than are non-Japanese residents who had planned travel to Japan. |
"In the initial period following the earthquake, we saw a number of cancellations and no-shows but this activity has largely dissipated. Looking ahead, we are seeing a slowdown in forward bookings for the next two months," he said. |
"Current indications suggest a slightly less than 20 percentage point decline in bookings over the next month compared to what we would have expected during this period. Given the role of tour companies as intermediaries in the Japan market, we don't have a great deal of visibility beyond this period. However, our trav... |

I read a lot of threads here talking about SEO and Local SEO. The threads cause me to ask an important question. How seriously do you really take your local SEO? |
We talk a lot about local citations and business listings, but sometimes it appears we lose sight of some core concepts that are crucial to helping you succeed. Let me run through a few items that cause some concern. |
Not all citations and directory listings are created equal. I see people talk about volume of citations instead of focusing on quality of citations. You want to have a good quantity, but first start with taking care of quality. I am going to break quality into two areas, too.<eot>What a timely performance, especially a... |
I think Bokaer wanted the piece to feel long because he wanted us to feel the gravity and importance of the message he was trying to relay. “Rules of the Game” made me think of the destruction of the Earth and how we are not doing enough to save our planet. I found the intelligent playful use of the white paper and the... |
The last piece made me think about how we are neglecting the planet and are wasting time fighting among ourselves instead of focusing on saving the Earth. Not sure if that is what the piece was about. The basketballs on the screen reminded me of a planet being destroyed, the Greek heads reminded me of civilizations bei... |

Seine to Sword Beach: Day Three – Parachutes, Crossroads and a Midnight Outing |
The day after visiting Merville, we woke up to glorious sunshine. Not only was this great because, you know, we had to cycle everywhere but it was also great because it meant the weather was perfect for the Daks over Normandy drop at Sannerville that afternoon. |
I will be the first to admit that one of my favourite scenes in cinema is the parachute drop in A Bridge Too Far. Ok, wrong country, wrong part of the war, even, but impressive nonetheless… and we all played with those toy soldiers as a kid, right? We headed down to Pegasus Bridge once more that morning, for a coffee a... |
Still, coffee at Café Gondrée and catching the end of a Legion d'Honneur presentation meant it turned out to be a very special morning. My Grandad remembered this very well, and it's crazy to think that, after being the first building to be liberated from Nazi-occupied France, it was then used as a hospital, of sorts. |
Meanwhile, at the Pegasus Memorial is the original bridge. Moved for preservation. |
Later that morning we headed to Ranville War Cemetery. I always find these places incredibly moving, but to see so many Devonshire Regiment insignia in one place, whilst not entirely unexpected given their fighting in the area, was quite poignant. I wondered as I walked how many of these men my Grandad would have known... |
After a lunch stop, we headed out to Sannerville, via the crossroads at Les Mesnil. We saw two drops as we arrived and then none for a while. It started getting chillier and people on Twitter were keeping us updated with the delays from Duxford. Gradually, people started to leave, and a number of times we considered it... |
We were entirely correct. it was absolutely incredible and well worth the teeth chattering and shivering! |
We headed back to the campsite, warmed up, drank coffee from the Jetboil and had a chilled evening, before walking back down to the bridge for the midnight ceremony. A friend from twitter kindly managed to get mum and I past the fence for it, and it was a moving and absolutely fascinaing evening. |
This midnight memorial took place next to the statue of Major John Howard, whose glider had landed within a few feet of the canal bridge, which was captured after a fierce ten minute fire fight, the action all over by 0026, a full six hours before the beach landings. |
90 minutes after taking off from RAF Tarrant Rushton in England, Major Howard was able to send the code words "Ham and Jam", indicating that both bridges had been captured. A recording of Major Howard's speech from a ceremony at the site 30 years ago was played before the Band and Bugles of The Rifles led troops across... |

Zoos cannot replicate an animal's natural habitat |
Even the best zoo cannot adequately provide for an animal adapted to live in the wild. Animals in their natural habitats can roam hundreds of kilometres, hunt prey, raise their offspring and enjoy complex social relationships. |
For example, in the wild, elephants and birds cover large distances, but are prevented from doing so in captivity. British zoologists have found that tigers enjoy a roaming range 18,000 times larger than the average zoo enclosure; for polar bears it is one million times larger. This is simply not feasible in a zoo envi... |
In 2015 Orana Wildlife Park in Canterbury acquired three gorillas. These animals are not native to New Zealand and will never be released into the wild. Their future consists of existing in unnatural and comparatively small surroundings in front of daily visitors. In the wild, animals are stimulated by their changing s... |
Captive elephants live shorter lives |
The zoo environment can have a significant impact on the health and wellbeing of zoo animals. Captive elephants, for example, cannot exercise in the same way they do in the wild and typically endure long hours standing on hard surfaces. These conditions are major contributors to foot infections and arthritis, one of th... |
A survey of the records of 4,500 elephants both in the wild and in captivity found that the average life span for an African elephant in a zoo was 16.9 years, whereas for African elephants living in Amboseli National Park the median life span was 56 years, (although elephants have been known to live for up to 70 years)... |
Captive animals can suffer from 'zoochosis'— extreme physical and mental frustration — which leads to abnormal behaviour such as pacing, rocking and self-mutilation. These actions are recognised symptoms of humans suffering from mental illness. In zoos it is not uncommon to see primates who throw faeces and birds who h... |
As Dr Keith Lindsay, a biologist with more than 30 years of experience in elephant research and conservation, has said, these are symptoms of "pathological, stereotypical behaviour that is common with disturbed animals in captivity, but which is never seen in the wild". There are also cases of animals being given antid... |
A journalist who has investigated zoos in New Zealand, Selwyn Manning, wrote: |
"Few people realise the monotony of zoos. When the public visits a zoo they see the animals pace or sway behind their walls for three, maybe four, hours. But for these animals every day is the same and during visiting time they stare at the stream of faces in the crowds. Everyone is the same. Everyone just stares back.... |
