Devizes Melting Pot
“Protection. Conservation. Restriction. Deep ecology. Give me deep technology any day. They don't scare me. "I'm damned if I'll crawl, my children's children crawl on the earth in some kind a fuckin' harmony with the environment. Yeah, till the next ice age or the next asteroid impact." (Moh Kohn, The Star Fraction)/ "This is the fight between God and the Devil. If His Grace is with God, he must join me, if he is for the Devil he must fight me. There is no third way" King Gustavus Adolphus

Bolshoi Reopening Gala 2011 - Musings and Links
The Bolshoi always hold a special place in my heart, as I grew up watching their productions on VHS, which featured the performance of the brilliant Irek Mukhamedov who would later dance with the Royal Ballet. This is a lovely gala to celebrate the renovations of the Bolshoi Theatre and its long and distinguished history.
A few years back the Royal Opera House was renovated as well and that made a huge difference, had a backstage tour of the place last year and I was very impressed with the upgrades and improvements.
May the Bolshoi enjoy another century of success.
Want to know more, here are some links about it:
