South Lanarkshire Council are set to press ahead with plans to plans to cut the distance at which secondary pupils qualify for free transport.
But the council are likely to revise their initial proposal, with kids entitled to free school meals and living more than two miles away still being eligible.
Implementation of the plan is also set to be postponed until April next year.
Councillors on the executive committee will meet today (Wednesday) to discuss the results of a consultation into the proposed change from two miles to the statutory three miles.
The SNP Group have said they will vote against the proposals, but it seems likely it will get the go ahead.
Opposition to the plan has been heavy, with 94 per cent of over 1800 representations not agreeing with the proposal.
However, in a report to councillors, officers advise: "In reaching an overall view of the proposal, consideration was given to the fact that many did not support it, but this was weighed against the need to make financial savings, the protection already afforded to education, the fact that the current provision goes further than the Council's statutory responsibility and the view of Education Scotland which did not comment about any potential impact on attainment."
On the advice of Education Scotland, officers have suggested postponing the implementation from September 29 until April 18, 2016.
Allowing kids on free school meals to keep being bussed for free would bring the number of pupils affected down to 1650 across the council. That would leave 2750 children still eligible.
The council initially thought the proposal could save them £1m per school year, but have cut their projection to £800,000.
However, many parents remain upset at the prospect of their kids having to walk or take public transport to school.
Jackie Rinn, who set up a sub-committee of Halfway Community Council to deal with the issue, blasted the report this week, saying the council were "discriminating against working people."
Her daughter, Ashley (12), started at Stonelaw earlier this month, but she has consistently said she won't send her to school if their free transport is cut.
She added: "I think it's a disgrace, people who are working are paying for other kids to be bussed to school.
"This is about equal opportunities and all kids should be treated the same.
"This was about transport and safety, not money. We've been told the safe walking routes but still haven't been shown the safety assessments used to come up with them. The council are dividing communities."
Cambuslang East Councillor Christine Deanie said she was "incandescent with anger" at the proposal.
She added: "The big issue is how divisive this is. You'll have kids who are entitled to free school meals going past in half empty buses."
Rutherglen and Hamilton West MP, Margaret Ferrier also questioned the safe walking routes being proposed, specifically crossing Greenlees Road, as a decision on the proposal looms.
She said: "South Lanarkshire Council are rushing ahead with their plans with complete disregard for the safety of our schoolchildren. Seeing this stretch of road, and trying to cross it myself, makes it clear that this is an accident waiting to happen.
"I'm calling on South Lanarkshire Council to take action. This is not a safe walking route for adults, let alone children. This route needs to be reviewed and appropriate action needs to be taken before the council consider asking parents to allow their children to walk it."
South Lanarkshire Council's head of education said he understands parents' concerns on the school bus issue, but he insists the council can no longer afford their current policy.
Ahead of today's meeting, Jim Gilhooly, said: "The council understands the proposals mean some parents will need to change the way they fulfil their responsibility to get their children to and from school.
"Proposals being put to Executive Committee councillors for consideration on August 26 reflect concerns raised by parents at consultation sessions undertaken in line with statutory requirements.
"Amendments to transport proposals approved by the council in February now seek to delay the implementation date until April 18, 2016.
"It is further proposed all secondary pupils entitled to free school meals who live more than two miles from their school can access free school transport.
"By seeking to move to providing free secondary school transport after three miles, we would be in line with 19 other local authorities in Scotland who have already adopted this statutory limit.
"If the new three miles statutory limit is approved, we will learn from the experiences of these councils.
"The council has significant savings to make, meaning that there are difficult decisions to take. As such, these proposals have not been made lightly.
"The council remains of the view it can no longer afford to provide secondary school mainstream transport at a level that is more generous than required under the Education (Scotland) Act 1980."

Furthermore, especially if shooting well dress people, do yourself a favor, be well dressed. Nothing screams professional more than a well dressed man (or woman). Hence go to a Men's Warehouse and get yourself a suit. Now for everything else and I know you still need to carry a lot of stuff there are some modern photo vests to consider. One brand that really stands out for their extremely good looks, high build quality and an insane amount of pockets is Scottevest:
I first became aware of the brand while looking for alternatives for travel clothing. In these days of barely one carry on a simple way to beat carry on limits is to carry all key hardware on you. You see what you wear doesn't count for weight or carry on restrictions (very important for international travel), hence a discrete photo vest or jacket could allow you to either off load hardware from your photo bag (in case you go above weight restrictions) or simply to keep it handy. Enter Scottevest; their travel line of clothing is superb when it comes to been discrete, stylish and practical. Just take a look in Figure 1 at their basic photo/travel vest compared to their traditional "kakis":
|Figure1: Nothing screams geek more than a traditional photo vest like the one shown to the left. In contrast notice the modern stylish look of a Scottevest to the right.
Style is a relative thing; no piece of cloth will change your "coolness" factor, but if not for looks at least do yourself a favor and get a Scottevest. You'll immediately notice the difference in the clothes quality and practicality. To the old photo vest, R.I.P.
PD: Concealed Carry
This is a different use for this type of vest, but indeed it makes for an awesome concealed carry tool. Rather than using typical holsters, the pockets of any Scottevest have enough compartments and even locks to hold any concealed items. Best of all in a discrete way, not drawing attention to yourself.

Question about Cars & Trucks
Posted by kenny on
There must still be some burnt out bulbs. The reason they blink to fast is because the bulbs have a heat-based blink mechanism, and when a bulb is out there is more power going to the bulbs which causes them to heat faster. Double check all the bulbs one by one.

SOURCE: pontiac montana turn signal flashing too fast
found this discussion which might be helpful:
No surprise at all! Common problem which has been discussed several times on this site.
Basically.....tail light(s) plugs (Pig Tails) were sub-standard and cannot stand the heat of the bulbs. Pull out hear tail light fixtures, remove bulbs from recepticals and check for melting plastic, usually between the black wire (hot wire) and one or more colored wires. If so, cut out old Pig Tail, get a replacement Pig Tail, soder it in (I think about 6 wires), and use electrical shrink wrap around sodered joint, install new bulbs using Di-electric grease in the socket. Test before reinstalling light fixture.
The poster also mentioned something I forgot; use some kind of grease in the sockets any time you have reason to access them.
The dielectric grease he mentioned is best but if you can't find (it is and electronic item, rather than electrical), even petroleum jelly will afford some protection.
I use it on battery clamps and it helps ****** the typical corrosion.
Since most cars use the chassis for ground, even the fasteners that hold in lighting assemblies can lose contact so I always loosen, then retighten them, to ensure decent ground contact.
Check too for corrosion in the light sockets themselves.
Dunno why it is so tough to seal a compartment but our US manufacturers can't seem to get it right.

I had this problem, and to be honest, it happened to the left side about a week later...it's the board that the bulbs plug into...it's a very common problem with this model. So popular that you can normally get the socket board off the shelf at a parts store! it's extremely simple to replace, and I replaced all the bulbs at the same time!

Just when I thought Gritsy wasn't so bad after all…
…I ran into this (for your convenience, I've linked the ending – you need to stay for the "flea market" chorus – everybody in for themselves!1):
What in the world was that? And how did anyone – especially the conductor – think this was a good idea?2 Works well for the final stretto 50m dash in the Operalympics or as an advert to stop kids from playing with electricity, otherwise…
ps: from another Opera Ball – this time in Dresden. Coincidence? I think not.
ps2: in her defence, she is not afraid of taking chances (and watching her moves is half the fun), unlike a certain mezzo we know and (I) love 😉 One hopes that these chances were less misguided…
ps3: even more in her defence, as a redeemer for Rossini, this trailer of Adelaide di Borgogna, where Ottone seems to be a woman. So maybe she just needs to ditch the Opera Balls and stick with trouser (wearing) roles?
Blasts from the past: Nabucco (ROH, 1 April 2013)
If you ever wondered how things were before this blog started, the answer is I still occasionally jotted down thoughts about shows. I thought I should bring these mini writeups here for the sake of completism. This one marks my very first time at the ROH – the rep may make stray smile 😉
Monday evening I went to see Nabucco here in freezing London (seriously, it's April! whatever happened to the weather?! – exactly what could be said of 1 April 2018). Now I have mentioned before that I started liking Verdi only about 2 months ago and so far Nabucco is my favourite (unsurprisingly, as one of the most straight-up belcanto operas from the green one). I didn't want to spoil my fun so I didn't read anything about the production before going. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, but apparently the production has mixed reviews. True enough, it is as static as they come – minimal acting, lots of singing to the public. But gorgeous singing for my balcony seat money! I also enjoyed the Berlin Holocaust Museum/monolith sets – intelligently making the link across time – as well as the wire sculptures of Baal and heads (Nabucco & daughters, as I read them). Add a sand pit and that's it as far as sets go. Teensy bit more than the Noah's Ark from Verona.
Singing: I've a fondness for badass, tough-as-nails, tough to sing roles and, good lord, how about that Abigaille? Whew! What a range on all levels and how wonderful to witness live when the singer can pull it off. Monastyrska did a hell of a job: yea, she projected, she dominated, in short, she chewed scenery but my favourite part was the way she managed the lyrical bits with that hefty voice (I found her top notes surprisingly pretty). Some control! Nucci also rocked the lyrical side, although I thought he didn't let loose quite as much. But gorgeous voice acting, brought tears to my eyes. Everybody else (including Pizzolato (Fenena), whom I've enjoyed in other belcanto roles) sounded excellent.
Since my babbling was way shorter back then, you can read R. Christiansen's take on the production (he, of course, saw one of the Domingo performances).
Masterclass fans: new ROH Masterclass with JDD
Just to make me happy, it starts off with Parto. I haven't seen it yet but I hope it's good (almost 2 new hours). If it's not good we can laugh about it here 😉
After watching/listening to it:
For those who don't know and would like to before applying yourselves to an 1hr and 46min, this batch is mezzo only and it containts work on three mezzo staples: Parto, Dido's lament and Non piu mesta (which I always call Non piu messed up). They are all promising singers but the young woman working on Dido's lament has a particularly beautiful tone (baby contralto? we should be so lucky 😀 ). She is also very cutely star-struck.

Though Wiggy has of recent been making a habit of getting together singers, orchestras and instrumental soloists, here is no doubt that managing any number of people larger than two is no easy feat. Originally the performance was supposed to include Jeremy Ovenden (last heard by me in that not quite Tamerlano from Brussels) and Riccardo Novarro (whom you might remember from last year's Dario and Giulio Cesare) but they had to cancel.
Due to people changing into higher gears on their own time and also perhaps due to the choice of songs, the first part of the evening was rather mixed. As one would expect, our host Boni, in what I already called a pink gelato dress (with very nice pink floral embroidery), held her own from the getgo and had a heartwarmingly gentle moment with one of the songs (don't ask me which, sorry, I'm really not versed in lirica italiana) ending in something I translated as "don't worry, I'm right here". And indeed, she let her friends take centre stage through the night, popping in and out to let us know just that.
The turning point for me was the Mercadante cantata, which I did not know, but had the easiest time following the voice-piano dialogue. I was quite stunned, in fact, given that usually when I hear a new piece I'm left with a soup of feelings and maybe the main tune, rather than being able to clearly "read" along with the people on stage. Great job Farnocchia and Scalera, for the mutual communication and ability to impart to us some vintage belcanto writing. We should hear more Mercadante, shouldn't we? We should also hear more of Scalera, who I have heard before but I've started to rate very highly as accompanist since this concert, where he generally seemed to be having a ball.
The first best moment of the night was Boni and Farnocchia's duet in Donizetti's Il giuramento – their voices work so well together. You could tell they've sung together a lot, too, but their tones are wonderfully suited to each other. Farnocchia, though billed as a soprano and in possession of some piercing high notes, has a very fetching middle, quite related to Boni's, though brighter. I would not say no to hearing her in some high mezzo roles.
The second high point was Boni's rendition of Malibran's Nel cor più non mi sento, which, for those who don't know, is an excuse for the singer to show off their versatility, as each return of the main tune is done in a different style, from contained pathos to operetta silliness, through trills and octave jumps. Boni had no qualms about taking the piss out of herself as much as of the text, when attempting to reach the highest highs.
Cavalluzzi has a very opaque bass which sounded to me – at least at the beginning – like a Korean-type bass, very dark and rather large and not particularly subtle. I was then very surprised to hear how comfortable he sounded in I gondolieri.
Nilon has the smallest voice of the bunch and not particularly colourful but Italianate all right. He had the least effect on me (I napped through some of his efforts during the first part, having misjudged my energy levels the night before) but then I'm not the biggest tenor fan.
The night ended on an ensemble high with a really well balanced I gondolieri, where we got to hear some of Rossini's strengths normally reserved for opera act finales done justice by Boni and Co. Lastly, they put decorum aside and regaled us with the Cat quartet.
The night took a bit of warming up and perhaps the selections presented during the first part could've been thought over a little but the second part was certainly well worth it. Boni proved a very gracious and generous host and with a hilarious knack for comedy. She can do the dramatic bits no problem, but I think zany comedy is her true calling.
ROH Semiramide Radio 3 broadcast alert (Sat, 6 January 2018)
Thanks to thadieu for signalling this for all interested parties:
Semiramide on Radio 3, Saturday, 6 January 2018, 6pm GMT
If that alone doesn't fill your JDD fix, 6 January is your day, as BBC 3 is running one of her American Songbook recitals at 1pm GMT.
All about his mother (Semiramide take 2, ROH 4 December 2017)
A woosh of dread went through the packed hall when an announcer came out, so strong I thought it would push her back to where she'd come from.
Announcer: No, no, no, everything is fine. All I wanted to say is that JDD had a respiratory infection last week but she is much better tonight. Enjoy the evening!
Frenetic applause and a general sigh of relief. More applause when Pappano came out (there normally are, but these were extra jaunty).
Let's start with the conclusion: thank you Pappano and all. You convinced me this is truly a great opera and I wish it made its way back into the repertoire so we can hear/see it more often. Rossini outdid himself here. It's got it all somehow melded into a whole: his playfulness, his expertise with the opera seria formula, lots of innovation and the great tunes never stop.
One of the great things about it is that Rossini knows how to write for the voice and won't let the orchestra intrude but he has also written excellent instrumental parts. Also peppering the score with ensembles and keeping the choir active really makes a difference in regards to pacing (always fresh).
However, it most likely needs a great team – top singers and a very intelligent conductor. An insightful production doesn't hurt. It really is shortchanged when the focus is on noodling runs of coloratura or if the conductor thinks the drama needs too much push. Pappano trusts Rossini and focused on bringing out all the inventive details, which are a pleasure to hear. His voice-orchestra balance was optimal.
Compared to the 25th it was like this: Arsace and Semiramide's act II duet = best moment of the night (and not just in my opinion either. My seatmate dubbed it "fantastic!", lots of applause and shouts etc. and some teary eyes from me). I just wanted it to go on and on (and luckily Rossini knows a good thing, so, as most duets here, it's quite long). I still think Ah, come mai quell'anima is the more beautiful duet but this is wonderful, especially with Barcellona and JDD who work together so well. Have a listen to how they sounded in Munich earlier this year (imo, not nearly as good. I actually don't like that recording and I'm glad I didn't listen to it before going. I had to agree with the commenter who heard JDD off pitch a lot of the time. Esposito came off majorly bland of tone (to me, who am not his greatest fan to begin with). The duet is beautiful, though).
Brownlee (still no ping, from the lower slips in the auditorium) had some of the most amazing floated notes I've ever heard in Ah dov'è il cimento? Seriously, that stuff was staggering, to the point I had to remember where my loyalties lay 😉 cue in severe shaking from Azema1 and that quip about how if she didn't think Arsace was the biggest hero in the world she'd totally go for Idreno. Don't listen to his 2013 rendition found on 'tube as it's vastly inferior. Sadly it seems to be his only rendition on youtube.
His interaction with JDD in the act I finale, where everybody was trying to come to terms with the appearance of Nino's ghost was acoustically interesting: his lines were louder than hers but this appeared deliberate, giving a very welcome depth to the sound. However his act II aria saw surprising ups and downs in concentration, which makes this performance one of the most curious I've witnessed.
Pertusi's pre-mad aria recit was again his strongest moment – he's really good at that kind of thing, vivid and credible. Also he had many very Verdian flashes through the night (and I mean that in a good way. Philip II was calling?). JDD did sound (even) more cautious with the very highs and I think I remember a moment where the sound came out a bit unfocused but other than that she was as strong and committed as usual.
Now that I could focus more on things other than the immediate impact, I thought Arsace spends a lot of time in the lower recesses of the mezzo voice, so perhaps this is a reason VK never sang it (as her voice is darker rather than low, where Barcellona's is both dark and solidly low). I'm now compelled to hear Hallenberg's take again. I also had time to realise I've been spending so much time listening to Baroque specialists that even a little – understandable – vibrato throws me a bit (Barcellona and Pertusi). I won't fault them, of course, but it was interesting to see how little JDD uses in comparison. Come to think of it, Brownlee did the same. Unless he has the type I don't catch. Might be an issue of American vs Italian style?
The choir was (I think) better this time, thought the beginning of the opera still posed challenges.
She may be wicked but she is my mother
Arsace as a character is a bit underdeveloped for contemporary sensibilities, which is why, I suppose, he's given a pony 😉 I've noticed this thing in pre mid-19th century opera (though, come to think of it, heroes continue to be rather intellectually fluffy (see all Wagner)), where we have supposedly accomplished warriors/strategists act very naively in private matters. They are also way too young for those military accolades. Something's got to give, eh, and that is usually intelligence.
As per libretto Arsace is characterised by being brave (commander of the Babylonian army at the tender age of… about 25, I'd say), dutiful (rushes back to headquarters when Semiramide calls and is unwaveringly on her side even before he learns she's his mother) and very much in love (his entrance aria reminisces about how he saved Azema from marauders and then their eyes met = opera love).
All of a sudden he's hit with major existential questions, which he is ill equipped to answer. Then again, who of us would have an easy time with a mother who wants to marry us and who has also, incidentally, offed our father? Plus the realisation that we're next in line as the country's top honcho? All of these revelations in one day, the same day we were merely supposed to announce our wedding (to someone else than the mum)! Barcellona is very good at portraying the youthful hero with all his youthful imaturity mixed with the earnest desire to do the right thing by everyone. I have cats to hug when things get weird, why shouldn't Arsace have a pony? I also see that moment as his return to his childhood room, with the pictures and the toys one's parents keep in the attic (or spare room).
The ending is rather poignant, with the hacked to death Semiramide reaching wordlessly (a victory for realism! thank you, Rossini) towards her son and Arsace's duty tragically winning over love in grand opera seria style, as he ascends the stairs to the throne and glory. For his unexpected ascension to top honours he looks shattered so who knows che mai sarà.
Singing-wise, Barcellona was the picture of understated poise, with excellent stamina and that beautiful lyric tone needed for best results in belcanto trouser roles.
So now that this first ever ROH run is over I can't wait until they revive it 😉 hopefully with a similarly strong cast and Pappano (or someone else who can do Rossini justice on this level).
- Agathe, you were right, that seems to be D. Alden's shorthand for severe emotion ("moved" indeed). ↩
Strongly introspective Semiramide (ROH, 25 November 2017)
ROH hasn't seen Semiramide staged in over 100 years but it's good they did it now, when they have a Rossini-appreciative conductor in the house and such an exceptional team of Rossinians to sing it. It's the most expensive production of the season but it's definitely worth it musically. Dramatically I guess I'm not an Alden fan but it's not a stupid staging either. I just thought more (or prettier) could've been done to match the singers' skills and commitment to the drama.
Semiramide: Joyce DiDonato
Arsace: Daniela Barcellona
Assur: Michele Pertusi
Idreno: Lawrence Brownlee
Oroe: Bálint Szabó
Azema: Jacquelyn Stucker
Mitrane: Konu Kim
Nino's Ghost: Simon Shibambu
Conductor: Antonio Pappano | Royal Opera House Choir and Orchestra
co-production with Bayerische Staatsoper
This is "another modern staging" that places the action amidst a moment of acute power vacuum within a dictatorship – with good reason, Babylonia wasn't a shining example of enlightened democracy (not that we should be talking).
The story is wonky enough: even though Nino, the former North Korean style dictator, here referenced by a giant statue and apparently Trump-like family portraits, has been dead for 15 years, it is only now that a new – read: male – leader is needed. It appears that so far Semiramide (his widow) and Assur's (descendant of Baal, so Mr Macho) regency has been good enough. Or perhaps this is just heavy foreshadowing/convenient plot device.
Nino and Semiramide's son Ninia has secretly survived his infancy and has gained a reputation for himself by rising to the position of commander of Semiramide's army, under the (Scythian) name of Arsace. It seems like Assur has not been careful enough when sweeping his path to power.
It's the ancient world so rituals and the mysterious (ie: vague, confusing) will of gods are par for the course. Alden indulges adequately. Knee crawling and extensive "praise the gods" genuflecting from the choir pepper the duration of the opera. Agathe observed that it's even more exaggerated than in Munich, so perhaps it's intentionally made to appear ridiculous. I for one did not, in any case, get a feeling that Alden has any spare affection for this world.
The best quip is Azema's completely constricting (albeit technically very accomplished) golden dress. Her constant facial expression of defeat brings out the straitjacket feel induced by the hampering overlong sleeves. Usually carried to and fro (like a sack of potatoes) by a male attendant (she seems to be needed everywhere, although it is never clear why, as she barely has a voice, mostly to express dissatisfaction with her lot1; perhaps to make up the quota of women at the court), she is at some point placed on a cordoned off plinth, with Idreno agitating around like a blood hound. I liked Bachtrack reviewer's comment that she looks like an
Grammy Oscar statuette, considering her suitors (Assur, Idreno and "lucky" winner Arsace) engage in what was in 1823 – and possibly still today, in certain circles – a singing contest.
Though, to be fair, the way Rossini is sung here is as far removed from showcasing fireworks as anything I've seen. Not that the singers don't cover all that, because they all do with lots of skill and style, but because the focus is staunchly placed on conveying a believable drama to contemporary audiences. We have come a very long way from the '80s. This a 3 1/2 hour opera and I didn't flag once. A great accomplishment by all – less so by the choir, who had some issues keeping up with Pappano and Rossini, something both Agathe and I noticed, so it's not just me always finding fault with
them something 😉
I really enjoyed Pappano's supple and lucid conducting and the precision with which the orchestra responded to him. It's late, more through-composed Rossini, but Pappano didn't make it unnecessary loud and kept the drama under control. It's still Rossini and you can still smile at jaunty tunes at dramatic moments. I was also pleased to notice the germs of "angsty soliloquies" later developed by Bellini and mastered by Verdi – at moments when the main characters have scenes which combine tuneful lines with more recit-based passages – ariosos? I'm not sure they were still called that into the 19th century – and even include "distant sounds of the city".
JDD did a tour de force with Semiramide. He interactions with both Pertusi's Assur (he's an old school bad guy but a convincing one) and Barcellona's youthful, conflicted Arsace brought out a very well rounded, strong woman, who tries and fails to reconcile outward personal ambition with an inward sense of right and wrong and sort out different kinds of love/attraction. A busy day, indeed. Though a subject well explored in the 18th century, it is perhaps no surprise that this heroine found her strongest voice in the 19th century, the one where female leads aren't supposed to win.
I'm not saying that offing your husband should be given a pass if you beat yourself up for it for 15 years or if you then defend your child with your life but such is the scarcity of women with agency in opera that one finds it hard not to side with her – especially the unsentimental way JDD plays her. I felt from the getgo that Semiramide was ready to meet her fate whatever the costs but she was optimistic that things would turn out right in the end. Regardless of what she did that one time 15 years ago, she seems to want to right things now – get rid of dictator in waiting Assur and secure the throne for upright hero Arsace. Of course her motives are complex but that's what we like in our fictional heroe(ine)s.
For his part, Arsace appears like a decent sort, law abiding to a fault and the opposite of a politician. He's also, for someone who presumably grew up in the saddle and has seen a serious amount of combat, eyebrow-raisingly naive. At first Semiramide uses subtlety when pursuing him but he only gets it when she corners him cougar-style in her nightgown. Ok, battle experience does not prepare one for being chased by a woman that someone has a lot of respect for and sees as outranking him. But still, he seems young (Barcellona's channeling Tancredi); no wonder Alden gives him a stuffed pony to remember his childhood by (he also has some unexplored issues regarding family).
The two most dramatically impressive moments for me were when Semiramide tells Assur that she would gladly renounce the throne for her child, were he to be found alive (after a conversation where Assur implies that she too has been power mad) and her desperate chase for an embarrassed Arsace. JDD portrays a moving mother-Semiramide which only makes the later scene that much more sad and tragic.
JDDs duets with Assur and Arsace were the most moving vocally. I loved the gentle way she delivered her lines in the duet where she and Assur are in bed (and he just provides long sustained vocal backing), and the very fine way she interacted/echoed the orchestra. Her second act duet with Arsace was lovely for the unassuming way JDD and Barcellona meshed their voices (mezzo-mezzo duets = ❤ ) and made the moment of mother and son reconciliation simple and moving. Agathe remarked that so late in the opera there is nothing for the singers to prove; I welcomed it as I enjoyed the consistent commitment to exploring the drama at the expense of needless showing off.
Brownlee's Idreno and Pertusi's Assur were less developed – and both were meant to come off as unpleasant but no less vocally accomplished. Brownlee got his shorter aria back (it was axed in Munich) and got deserved applause come curtain time (and before; most arias did). He doesn't have JDF's piercing wail at the very top but I don't know that we're poorer for that. His tone is very handsome and the voice has just the right flexibility for Rossini, no wonder he's made his name in this repertoire. He comes off as a nice chap in interviews but here he managed to infuse Idreno with an amount of entitlement disguised as passion for Azema that reminded me of an annoying wasp.
I understand Pertusi was unwell during the premiere but everything was fine on Saturday. I hadn't heard him before but I enjoyed his tone and elaborate skills, especially in Assur's act II mini mad scene when Assur is hallucinating about Nino's return. Agathe mentioned that in Munich, Esposito had acted this mad scene in such a strong manner that she hadn't even realised just how beautiful the music was. I was quite impressed with the complexity of vocal emotion Pertusi used for this mad scene.
Out of the smaller roles I liked Szabó's tone a lot – very easy on the ears and nicely solid singing. His dramatic skills were good, too.
There was a feeling of everyone on stage knowing that they are part of something special and behaving accordingly, with congenial help from Pappano and the orchestra. A highly enjoyable performance and a wonderful showcase of Rossini's complex skills. During the evening I started thinking I'd like to see it again and I'm pleased to report I just managed to secure a reasonably priced second ticket this late in the game 😀 Everyone who likes great singing, try to go. The surprisingly good news is you can luck out on a return at any time (only two days ago the cheap available seat situation looked dire).
Agathe and I got tickets on the Stalls Circle left, because she knew from Munich that was the best position for the "important action" (Arsace and Semiramide singing directly at us; Barcellona's dark, gently heroic tone caused Agathe to be on the verge of passing out 😉 several times during the evening). We were only a few feet away from the stage also with a good view of the orchestra/Pappano. There was a bit of muffle for the ppps but only in the sense of lack of ping across the board, which we supposed would not be the case from the auditorium (I'll get back to you on that next week, especially re: Brownlee). Otherwise we heard it all in all its glory (though I had a blocked ear which caused me to strait during act I; it finally popped by the end of act I) and a badass evening it was 😀
We spent the – clear but very cold for London – day walking about central London and catching a truly beautiful sunset from the Golden Jubilee Bridge. Out of fangirl anxiety we arrived one hour early at ROH and spent time chatting in the very cosy amphitheatre lobby (ROH is in the midst of major refurbishing). I don't shower ROH with enough praise but it's got a lovely lobby area design – grand but not overly so; you'll soon relax – and the ushers have once again been super accommodating. Agathe commented that the applause wasn't quite as mad as in Munich but I thought by Stalls Circle standards it was warm indeed. In spite of the cold weather there was minimal coughing, too.
- Or, somewhat confusingly, how much Idreno's first aria has moved her, and she'd think twice about his (very aggressive) attentions if only Arsace wasn't the love of her life. This can be a very funny moment, though I'm not sure that's how it's played here, in spite of the fact that this is Rossini. By funny I mean if it's played as a comment on the tenor's singing skills and the relationship between star singers and their fanbase. But then it's mixed with what today is glaringly read as a lack of agency (not one aria for her) when she's at the centre of the entire sublot and things become funny har har. ↩
The "history of lovers" Tancredi (1995)
I haven't done an audio only writeup in… a long time (my laptop's disc drive went bust about 2 years ago). This one is from the vault, of course, started in November 2013 and last updated in August 2014. There's nothing wrong with it, aside from being relatively short, which I think was the reason I never ended up posting it. These days I don't think it's necessary to cross all the ts. I trust you, gentle reader, to get the gist of how I feel about this or that.
History of lovers refers to the Calexico with Iron and Wine tune.
Tancredi: Vesselina Kasarova
Amenaide: Eva Mei
Argirio: Ramon Vargas
Orbazzano: Harry Peeters
Isaura: Melinda Paulsen
Roggiero: Veronica Cangemi
Conductor: Roberto Abbado | Munchner Rundfunkorchester (17-25/08/95)
Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks
Back in the '90s Kasarova had that distinctive yet youthful tone backed by high energy which made her so appealing in rash and broody youngster roles1. I remember hearing a Voi che sapete she sang way back when and thinking "this Cherubino would punch the Count in the face". Her young men never sounded innocent2 yet they were all very immature. For her part, Mei is the girliest Amenaide I've heard so far, which is just as well; Amenaide is – or should be – a virginal babe3.
Tancredi doesn't suffer when the lovers' young age isn't strictly adhered to. But now that it is expressed, it gives the whole thing a brighter, more hopeful feel from the getgo. This Amenaide would scream piercingly if Tancredi died and she'd collapse from grief on the spot4. The emphasis is on love-faced-with-terrible-obstacles rather than honour, duty and bitter revenge5.
Vargas' Argirio can project enough leadership and he's convincing as a concerned if strict father as well. Vargas always works as the good guy as he sounds like he means well.
Orbazzano is satisfyingly low but sounds a tad too old, like's he's from Argirio's generation, which is workable. He's never supposed to be a romantic rival to Tancredi. Peeters could sound more menacing.
Fiero incontro/Ah, come mai quell'anima: Here's where the virginal/sensual thing really works. Even their fioriture match, good job Maestro for taking care of this detail. In the cantabile neither lover sounds particularly bitter, in fact they sound glad for a reason to sing together. They're momentarily overcome with love for each other in spite of crossed wires. That's not exactly what the text says but it goes with the hopeful tone of the recording. They get more angsty in the cabaletta, although never too dark. This one rocks; Mei and Kasarova's voices are perfectly suited for each other6.
Perche turbar la calma: I said in the Valentini-Terrani Tancredi that this is a mofo of an aria but I didn't explain myself. It's tricky because there's quite a bit going on:
self-pity: he's barely regained his composure by walking away from his traitorous lover and here she is back, threatening to ruin his mood by lying to his face once again (so he thinks).
tantrum (at Amenaide): Tancredi renews his accusations of infidelity. But immediately her tears move him to almost believing her. He is indecisive for a few moments. The choir's war cries distract him and, spurred by them, he decides on the spot to solve his dilemma by going into battle to die so that Amenaide can blame herself for his demise.
30 year old Kasarova's Tancredi sounds a lot younger than Valentini-Terrani's and Horne's. Aside from whatever their own personalities imparted to the role, the level of life experience between 30 and 39 (V-T) or 43 (Horne) is pretty significant. Kasarova's reading is unsurprisingly the less focused7 of the three. After hearing Valentini-Terrani's Perche turbar la calma I can only expect a sharper contrast between the different moods I outlined above when discussing the aria. In hers, Kasarova uses the fff/ppp contrast where Valentini-Terrani goes for colour, more effective when it comes to expressing moods. Even though I love Kasarova's tone, Valentini-Terrani's characterisation is simply mindboggling.
- Like Tancredi and Romeo. ↩
- In a sensual way, I mean. They lack life experience all right. In fact, they sound hot headed and on the fast track to disaster. ↩
- I said before that my hunch is that she and Tancredi knocked the boots in ye olde Constantinopole. Here we've got an extremely virginal sounding Amenaide and a more sensual than usual Tancredi. Where Valentini-Terrani's was morose and overwhelmed by dejection and Horne's too authoritarian (more of a man's man), Kasarova's sounds hot blooded and annoyed rather than angsty. He must've been a hit with the Greek ladies back in Byzantium. I can see this girly and sensitive Amenaide getting head over hills with him and throwing caution to the wind. ↩
- The same team brought us Bellini's I Capuleti e i Montecchi just a couple of years later, so you know what I mean. ↩
- 11th century Sicily is obviously struggling with multiculturalism. ↩
- So how did that Zurich Clemenza di Tito go so wrong? ↩
- Things worked such that Kasarova sang Tancredi in the early part of her career, which is rather unusual. I really – really – wish she sang it these days, with this more darker tone she's got now and with the wealth of experience she's gained since. ↩
Productions even sinks can't save
Operaramblings has
recently at the time of my rant hit on a subject that still (STILL) gets my goat. Naturally I ran to my 6 many months old ranty draft and stroked it a few times. Then I thought I should vent my anger (for it makes me foamy (oh, so foamy…)).
Eagerly awaited by yours truly, the 2011/2012 Munich I Capuleti e i Montecchi turned out to be a spectacularly inept production1. There are only two good things about it: Bellini's music and Romeo. The rest is like a wisdom tooth ache: dull, painful and the mere thought of it almost as uncomfortable as the thing itself. Shame on you, Bayerische Staatstoper!
To those few who don't know, in 2012 this production had VK as Romeo, Anna Netrebko as Giulietta and some guys in the other roles, plus Maestro Yves Abel running the shoddy ship into every rock on the way. To add insult to injury, midway through the run AN decided she'd had enough of her sink and unceremoniously boarded the nearest lifeboat. Bayerische shipped the 2011 Giulietta (Nakamura) back and refunded 1/2 of the (ridiculously high) ticket price to the angry Netrebkites.
Back in 2012 I watched the livestream (on mum's ancient desktop) and then I re-watched it on youtube on a brand new laptop, which mum thoughtfully bought the day after. I read others' comments on it, some of which made for very good reading though they appeared to be about something else than what I had seen. I didn't make an effort to snap it before the cerbers at Bayerische mauled it off youtube. I eventually acquired it in hopes that time brings perspective. I've watched it a couple more times and my disappointment has turned to anger. There are just too many things that irk me:
Giulietta – NO. NO. NO. NO. Also: no.
fussy/inept costumes – epitome of fashion hype: unflattering and completely impractical
harsh lighting that made them all look like zombies – it's set in a morgue, then
all-over-the-shop choir – perhaps coached by some fashion hanger-on
incomprehensible staging:
- overly precious ending – just look behind you already, Romeo!
- saddles – obviously!
- sink – the sink is to regie what stairs are to trad productions = a bold statement of lack of imagination; this is a
- wedding party on bleachers – fashion shoot on stairs, duh
- reflective and uneven walls – the stage designer and the light designer meet after a successful double lobotomy
To be fair to the end, VK too seemed a day or two past the sell-by date. Major meh. It's beyond annoying that posterity will be left with this video version of her Romeo, when she's done such an exceptional job with this role over the years. At the time I was very upset that I couldn't see it live but in the very long run it looks like I saved myself further frustration not to mention money and fuss.
- I don't truly like any Capuleti production I've seen so far. Very frustrating. ↩
Fun with Mezzo TV
Here's another fluff post from the vault, after which I promise to take a break from snide remarks regarding a certain mezzo 😉 at least in this case they were not mine!
I spent the last week+ of August 2016 on holiday at my mum's doing very little. The last couple of days mum and I hit Mezzo TV with rather unexpected results. First we watched Met's Romeo et Juliette (Gounod), with Netrebko and Alagna, which I had never seen in its entirety before so I was quite surprised by the large amount of sexxiness (TM). Wish Bellini's had half as much! Mum decreed AN's voice was too heavy for Juliette and Alagna didn't look romantic enough for Romeo. Then we – disingenuously, I admit – speculated on the amount of distress this production could've caused Angela Gheorghiu.
Today we watched the last act of La cenerentola (also from the Met) with Garanca and Brownlee. It turned out to be very amusing for the both of us. First off, on seeing that the mezzo was a blonde, mum wanted to know if she was "the mezzo with the D". Good start, mum! Alas, as soon as the blonde opened her mouth it was clear the voice was very different. I don't know how long it's been since I've sat down to listen to Garanca. She didn't miss any note. But throughout mum thought she carried the exact same expression, which was mild discomfort. The most exciting thing she did on stage was to give out the coffee cups before Non piu mesta. Mum thought she was rather cold but not very cold: ice cube rather than iceberg. I told her the coloratura in Non piu mesta suggests Cenerentola's great joy and relief. Mum thought she looked preoccupied not to drop her tiara.
I don't know if it's TV's lack of audio capacity (which I'd suspected before, especially when it comes to how voices come through) or something else but my first – non-malicious – thought was that the voices were rather flat (as if they were not singing on the breath) and lacking in Italianate style.

Gore campaign won't be easy, lawmakers say
Published 4:00 am, Wednesday, May 5, 1999
WASHINGTON - The Democratic leader of California's Assembly predicts that Al Gore will win heavy support in the state, but he said competition from former Sen. Bill Bradley would make the vice president "work hard" for the Democratic nomination in 2000.
The prediction came one day before 44 of the Assembly's 46 Democrats planned to endorse Gore's presidential campaign Wednesday. The announcement was being made via press release, not a public ceremony, even though several of the Democrats are here for the Legislature's annual trip to Washington.
Assembly Speaker Antonio Villaraigosa, D-Los Angeles, told reporters Tuesday in a luncheon meeting, "I believe Al Gore is going to be . . . the next president of the United States." But he noted of Bradley, "You're going to have a race. . . . It's a good thing to have a primary challenge."
He predicted that a Gore-Bradley race would give the vice president "an opportunity to show his vision, to show he has a breadth of support."

Wednesday's endorsements come at a critical time for Gore, who has had trouble building enthusiasm among Democrats worried that he is too bland a candidate to beat the leading GOP contender, Texas Gov. George W. Bush.
With its 54 electoral votes, California is the prize of the West. Political experts say no Democrat can hope to win the White House without carrying the state.
Villaraigosa dismissed Gore's lackluster showing in the polls as insignificant this far in advance of Election Day. "Yes, (Gore is) down in the polls right now, but I don't think it's any indication of where he's going to end up," Villaraigosa said.
The Assembly speaker acknowledged that Bush would be a
"strong nominee," especially because of his strength among Latino voters, a key Democratic constituency.
Republicans are "excited about a George Bush because they think he can cross over (and) penetrate the Latino vote," he said, pointing out that it was critical not only in California and Texas, but in other key states such as New York, Illinois, Florida and New Jersey.
He added that Bush might prove vulnerable among Hispanics because of his undefined views on divisive civil rights issues such as Proposition 209, the 1996 California ballot initiative that banned affirmative action in state and local government.
"He found every way to wiggle out of that (question). Well, you think we're going to let him do that?" Villaraigosa said. "He's going to have to respond on a lot of those culture war issues." <

I made some baked salmon from Whole Foods (amazing), garlic cous cous with chick peas (served cold), whole wheat dinner rolls, and a side salad (greens, pecans, cranberries, along with raspberry vinagrette dressing). Delicious. For dessert, I took a stroll Saturday and stopped at a bakery near my house. They have the most beautiful creations. Very old fashioned and traditional desserts. I bought a piece of carrott cake for us to share. Amazing!
I am thinking about having a dinner party, and buying little desserts from there. Who wants to come over for dinner??

There are 131 BCOs who make up Landstar's 2015 Class of Million Mile Safe Drivers.
Landstar BCO C.J. Moore and I have known each other – or at least known of each other – for 15 years, going back to when we were both coaches in our kids' flag football league in south Jacksonville in the early 2000s.
The bulk buying program is only available to Landstar BCOs and offers discounts from the first day an owner operator leases to Landstar.
When Landstar BCO Carl Bumphus was asked to help with "The Water for the Weary" campaign, out of Nashville, Tennessee in February, he didn't hesitate to accept.
Since its creation in 2005, Landstar's BCO Benevolence Fund, has provided financial assistance to 339 Landstar business capacity owners (BCOs) in hardship situations.
One lucky Landstar Business Capacity Owner (BCO) will drive home from BCO Appreciation Days in Rockford, Illinois as the owner of a brand new 2017 Kenworth T680.
We appreciate truck drivers 52 weeks a year, but during this year's National Truck Driver Appreciation Week from September 11-17, 2016, we're showing some extra love to the professional drivers who help move America.
Landstar owner-operator Gary Buchs tells Overdrive Online that things really started to come together for him after he formalized his plan for selecting loads and set some financial goals.
Moore was on his way home to Moultrie, Georgia after a long haul when he saw the accident happen, and quickly pulled his big rig over to the side of the road to help.
The demand for hotshot trucking in the transportation industry continues to grow and, with that demand, Landstar's utilization of hotshots is also expanding – giving more agents the option to use hotshot owner-operators to get loads hauled.

Brad Jones recently moved to North Africa with his wife and two children. He has agreed to share his thoughts on a discussion we had this summer about giving to the church. Oh and he's my brother-in-law.
If you go to church, you've probably heard that you're supposed to give 10% of your money to them. That's what a "good Christian" does, right? Well as I've studied this issue, the Bible never tells us to tithe to our churches, and Jesus actually criticizes some guys who were religiously giving a tenth of everything they owned.
The believers in the Old Testament were told to give a tenth of their crops and their cattle to the temple, but it's a significant omission that Jesus doesn't reinforce this command nor do any of the writers of the New Testament. My big reason for pointing this out is not because I believe that we're off the hook in giving our money away, but instead to point out that the basis for why we should give has changed in a critical way.
Because of Jesus, lots of stuff has changed for us. The Bible says so. For instance, we don't have to sacrifice animals to gain atonement for our sins like the people in the Old Testament – Jesus is the final sacrifice. And the Sabbath has been changed from Saturday to the first day of the week to celebrate the day of his resurrection. Many Old Testament laws are changed or fulfilled because Jesus was the climax of their purpose. The command to tithe was a command for us to be like God, who is the ultimate giver. And now that Jesus has come, we see the ultimate picture of sacrificial giving. Jesus gave 100% of himself. The Apostle Paul writes, "He became poor, so that we might become rich". He died so that we might live. Jesus is modeling God's desire for us to be generous givers. To think that still giving 10% of our income away is being obedient to God's desire for us to be givers is like continuing to sacrifice animals and expecting them to atone for our sins. Jesus is a new standard for our lives – and a new standard for giving.
This is so much better, and more satisfying! The old tithing law is like paying rent; you just give a set amount to an exacting landlord. But Jesus is showing us a new way of giving. Jesus has said that we are his ambassadors who should invest our lives (money included) in ways that can change the world! We owe Jesus everything we have, so we have to spend every dollar wisely. Only give away your money to causes that are awesome! And we shouldn't limit our giving to 10% of our money. The New Testament says we are to "bear one another's burdens" and we shouldn't expect to be able to do that unless we ourselves are burdened! If you're not giving sacrificially, then you're not giving like God does. Let Jesus be your model.
Tithing is a bad goal because it is an old law that we do out of duty. Good giving will come when we are focused on Jesus and not on a law. And the giving that flows out of our personal relationship with Jesus will be painfully sacrificial and shockingly joyful. Let him be your leader and use your head when giving your money away. The world is at stake and he has chosen you to represent him as his ambassador to the world.

One day Linden Lab frozen your account and you ask Linden; "why?" But you get no answer. I live in a free country and I was thinking that Second life is to. But it seems Second Life is ruled by dictators. We are all avatars here at Second Life but behind the keyboard are real people. Oh, when you missing me after this post, I am at Montana Bay or in Siberia. LINDEN, GIVE KARL HUET A ANSWER ON HIS QUESTION!!!
You're Missing - Bruce Springsteen
Shirts in the closet, shoes in the hall
Mama's in the kitchen, baby and all
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
But you're missing
Coffee cups on the counter, jackets on the chair
Papers on the doorstep, but you're not there
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
But you're missing
Pictures on the nightstand, TV's on in the den
Your house is waiting, your house is waiting
For you to walk in, for you to walk in
But you're missing, when I shut out the lights
You're missing, when I close my eyes
You're missing, when I see the sun rise
You're missing
Children are asking if it's alright
Will you be in our arms tonight?
Morning is morning, the evening falls I got
Too much room in my bed, to many phone calls
How's everything, everything?
Everything, everything
You're missing, you're missing
God's drifting in heaven, devils in the mailbox
I got dust on my shoes, nothing but teardrops

5 Games That Changed Drastically During Development
Out with the old and in with the new.
Bioshock Infinite
Bioshock Infinite originally released back on the PC, PS3, and Xbox One as the third entry in the series. The video game acted as a prequel to the franchise and focused on protagonist Booker DeWitt on his mission to escort a mysterious woman Elizabeth to New York. Needless to say, their journey is a perilous one filled with political uprising, time traveling, multiple realities, and a giant metal bird. Bioshock Infinite was generally met with positive reviews for its fun gameplay and compelling story line, but looking back at its previous trailers, we can see that the game went through some extreme adjustments.
The E3 2011 demo and another 10-minute gameplay demo showed off some scenes that never made it to the full game, like more active Sky-Hook battles and hostile NPCs. Similarly, while the final game kept its core features like the floating city of Columbia and the Vox Populi, the demos seem to expand on what they were meant to be. Columbia was literally flying through the sky and across the world while the rebel group was ruthless and hostile when it came to fulfilling their goal.
Elizabeth had also gone through plenty of changes during development as she was originally meant to be a mute woman. Even when they decided on her role, she still went through plenty of cosmetic changes, especially her facial features. Her original abilities, on the other hand, revolved around psychic powers like telekinesis and heat combustion instead of opening Tears.
Judging by the previous trailers, it seems like Irrational Games had to scale back most of their ideas during development. Nonetheless, the retail version of Bioshock Infinite is still a great game all on its own.
