Italy's finance chief does not see ongoing talks over a parallel currency materializing.
Market players have been wary of parliamentary discussions in Rome regarding an alternative for government debt repayments. Lawmakers are considering a proposal that would see the Italian Treasury issue securities — so-called mini-BOTs (short-term treasury bills) — that could be used by recipients to pay taxes or to buy goods or services from state-owned companies.
However, Giovanni Tria, the country's finance minister, said Tuesday at a conference in London that he does not think mini-BOTs will be introduced. "We do not need this kind of instrument," Tria said, according to Reuters. He also added that the introduction of a parallel currency is not on the agenda.
Tria, a technocrat without political affiliation, sounded more moderate than some of his government colleagues.
"We don't want to create problems in Europe. We have to reinforce the trust in investors in Italy's finance situations," the finance minister told the audience.
Supporters of the idea, including one of Italy's ruling parties, Lega, believe the short-term securities would help the government reduce its outstanding bills. On the other hand, critics argue that it would lead to higher public debt in a country that already has the second-largest debt pile in the euro zone.
The mini-BOTs discussion has also resurfaced fears about Italy's commitment to the single currency. Prior to the general election in 2018, both coalition parties — the leftist Five Star Movement and the right-wing Lega, spread doubts about the country's membership of the euro zone.
Since then, both parties have toned down their euroskepticism but one of the main economic minds from Lega, Claudio Borghi, is still openly hostile to the idea of the common currency.
"There are a number of economists, including influential ones close to the Italian government, who believe the euro is a key reason for Italian underperformance, and the leaders of the coalition have never fully put this idea to bed," Erik Nielsen, group chief economist at UniCredit, said in a note last week.
Both the European Central Bank (ECB) and the International Monetary Fund have sounded skeptical about the mini-BOTs discussion. Christine Lagarde, the International Monetary Fund's managing director, told CNBC last Thursday: "On this strange financial instrument that has been developed in Italy, we think that there are many better ways to deal with the payment of arrears. It does not require the creation of such instruments. Italian bonds could absolutely do the job … why bother?"

Handling Insurance Company Document Requests
The property insurance claims process is often confusing and stressful. One of the more frustrating elements of the process is the seemingly endless requests for supporting documents. It can feel like the insurance company is looking for a never ending mountain of impossible-to-find, non-existent, or completely irrelevant information. Unfortunately, these document requests can often be an insurance company tactic used to keep you from receiving benefits you deserve. You have important legal rights when it comes to document requests. Under Florida law, the insurance company is required to treat you fairly throughout the entire claims process. Do not let an insurance company take advantage of you. If you are in the process of filing a property insurance claim, please contact an experienced Florida property insurance attorney.
Florida law puts many different duties on insurance companies operating within the state. Florida law also prohibits unfair claim settlement practices. This means that Florida insurance companies have a legal obligation to deal with your property insurance claim in a good faith manner. There are many different specific requirements of fair claim settlement practices. One requirement is that all document requests must be reasonable. Whenever an insurance company requests documents from you in Florida, it must:
- Clearly identify the precise information it is seeking; and
- Clearly explain exactly why it needs that information to handle your claim.
The bottom line is that property insurance companies cannot bury you with unreasonable document requests. That tactic is prohibited. If an insurance company is not being fair, an experienced attorney can help.
Tools for Dealing with Document Requests
- Stay organized: Expect the insurer to request a lot of documents. While their document requests are legally required to be clear and reasonable, they will still be entitled to seek relevant information. The more support you have for you claim, the more likely you are to have a favorable result. Relevant evidence often includes: photographs, receipts, estimates from contractors, or anything else that can back up your claim.
- Substantially comply: Under Florida law, you are required to substantially comply with an insurance company's reasonable document request. It is important to understand what substantial compliance entails. You may not be able to produce every single piece of paper associated with your claim. For example, an old receipt may simply be unrecoverable. You need to cooperate to the extent that is reasonably possible.
- Hire an attorney: An experienced Florida property insurance attorney can help ensure that your claim is processed fairly. Fulfilling insurance company document requests will be a significant part of your claim. Your attorney can help you gather and assemble the information to fulfill a reasonable request. Your attorney should also protect you from unreasonable document requests. The company cannot try to deny your claim by using illegal document request tactics.
Contact an Experienced Property Insurance Attorney
The experienced legal team at Geyer Fuxa Tyler has an in-depth understanding of Florida property insurance law. You have paid your property insurance premiums, and you are entitled to fair treatment from the insurance company. Contact our office today at (954) 990-5251 to learn more about your legal rights.

Trio leads police on chase, flees after Green County homeowner opens fire
For nearly an hour on Wednesday, three people led police from five departments on a chase through two counties.
At one point, the three parked behind a house in Green County and forced their way inside to hide, but they ran back to their Chevrolet Camaro and fled after the homeowner shot at them, state police said.
"They were forced out," said Trooper Billy Gregory, spokesman for the state police post in the region.
Police had briefly lost sight of the suspects' car before that, but when the fugitives hit the highway, officers spotted them and continued the pursuit.
In Campbellsville, police flattened tires on the trio's car with a strip of metal spikes. The three jumped out of the car at a church parking lot and tried to run away, but police caught them.
Police charged Donald G. Brockman, 42; Jacquelyn Renee Smith, 25, of Campbellsville; and Timothy Ray Curry, 31, with second-degree burglary. All three are from Campbellsville, though Brockman listed a Lexington address, Gregory said.
Police suspect the three committed a number of burglaries, and more charges against them are likely, Gregory said.
The chase started about 9 a.m. after police got a report that three people had forced their way into a home near the Taylor County/Green County line. The homeowner gave police a description of a white Camaro. A deputy sheriff spotted the suspects soon after and started chasing them when they didn't stop, state police said, and during the chase the trio tried to hide in the house in Green County.
Various police agencies joined the pursuit as it went from Taylor County to Green County and then back.
More than 20 officers were involved at one point, Gregory said.

Grow up! Could you please get out of the middle school yard at recess and stop this juvenile bickering? Did you notice that you have a 16 percent job approval rating? That means 84 percent of us think you are pathetic, immature and that your process is shambolic. Your inability to find the middle and actually govern as adults is unacceptable and undemocratic. It is not why we sent you to Washington.
I've chaired hundreds of committee and board meetings, maybe thousands. They always have a wide range of opinions. The job of the chair is to find the middle consensus, let the outliers fall away, and impose Robert's Rules of Order towards the middle, correct decision. It was ever so: Truth is in the center aisle. Remember what they taught you in ninth grade about democracy? Do some of that.
Rude you say, to compare you to some bunch of 11-year-olds gathered in cliques in a playground? Have a look at your chamber. Really, adults seat themselves with all the red on one side and the blue on the other? What are you, the Crips and the Bloods? Really, you have separate entrance doors so God forbid you should have to mingle with people who hold other opinions? Outrageous. This is not a school cafeteria, but the Congress of the United States. Could you perhaps seat yourselves alphabetically? Not a novel thought, one going on in most every school assembly around the country. What do school principals know that you don't? Tribalism is the curse of the planet, and you should be less critical of the Shiites and the Sunnis going at it, if you can't even sit next to people with different opinions.
This is not a football game. Take off the sweatshirt. Blind allegiance to party makes about as much rational sense as blind allegiance to team, especially after the players move around from one to another. The need to believe in a tribe, through thick or thin, is defensible in sport because it is mostly harmless. But lives and livelihoods depend on your decisions, Congressman... you need to do much better than knee-jerk decision making based on those sitting next to you. The two party system has been palatable and constructive only when its members retained the power of individual human thought. Where did this go wrong, and are you responsible?
Time to find the middle and grow up, please.

For my fortieth birthday my boyfriend surprised me with a visit. It was truly a surprise, as I wasn't expecting him until the following Sunday.
We have been in a long distance relationship for almost two years now. It has been an amazing journey. It has been a tough journey… But I wouldn't change a thing. We've learned so much from each other and we've come so far. And in spite of the miles between us, and having to wait months for a kiss, our love has been constant… HE has been constant.
He loves me. He makes me want to be a better person. He makes me feel alive. He makes me want to try and, in turn, succeed. He encourages me. He lifts me up. He is strong. He has heart. He has pride. He is funny and witty. He is kind, understanding, and loyal. He is a true friend. He is loving. He is generous. He is no-nonsense. He is tough and no pushover. He is passionate and tender. He is affectionate. He brings me joy and laughter. He is not afraid to share his hopes and fears with me. He trusts me with his whole being…. He trusts me with his heart. HE is the love of my life.
And so, on my fortieth birthday, in front of family and friends, he asked me to spend the rest of my life with him…
I said yes.
My heart is full.

For awhile now I've been having logging in trouble...sometimes it works, a lot of times it doesn't. Sometimes I'm told I have the wrong password (I don't, lol!) and sometimes I'll be in the middle of something and when I go to another page I'm suddenly logged out again. I can't log in from some pages. It's getting a bit crazy, am I the only one having this kind of problem?
A good example of what I mean is although I'm logged in, if I go recent unread posts, it will tell me I need to be logged in.

Audubon's Spectacular Birds of America
In 1819 the charismatic French-born naturalist and artist John James Audubon set off on a journey through the young country to illustrate and describe birds throughout much of the central and eastern United States. Although Audubon occasionally drew from mounted specimens, he preferred to wire his freshly shot models into lifelike positions and then paint them immediately. Unable to find a printer for his illustrations in the United States, in 1826 Audubon took his collection to England, where the illustrations were enthusiastically received. The original edition of Birds of America, known as the "œdouble-elephant" folio because of its large dimensions (39 x 26 inches), was published in four volumes between 1827 and 1838. Together the volumes contained 435 hand-colored etchings with engraving and aquatint; there was no descriptive text.
Wanting his masterwork to be accessible to a wider audience, Audubon subsequently issued this small-format edition of Birds of America with text adapted from his Ornithological Biography, written in collaboration with ornithologist William MacGillivray and published as a seven-volume set in Philadelphia between1840 and 1844. The hand-colored lithographs are by J.T. Bowen from engravings chiefly by Havell, Jr., after Audubon's drawings. Today Audubon's masterwork stands as the most famous and beloved illustrated book on a natural history subject ever published.

On July 4 at 9 a.m. in Geneva (3 a.m. in New York), officials at the Large Hadron Collider outside Geneva, Switzerland are expected to present new results on, and possibly the discovery of, the Higgs boson, the final missing piece of the Standard Model of physics, which explains the interactions between all known subatomic particles and forces, and is required to give all other particles their mass.
Its discovery would further validate the Standard Model as essentially correct, as it is the only elementary particle predicted by the Standard Model that has not yet been observed in particle physics experiments. If the results of the work at CERN can not show that the Higgs boson exists, much of our entire understanding of physics will need to be re-written.
Tevatron at Fermilab in Illinois announced their latest data on July 2, which gives more strong evidence for the existence of the Higgs.
"It is a real cliffhanger," said DZero co-spokesperson Gregorio Bernardi, physicist at the Laboratory of Nuclear and High Energy Physics, or LPNHE, at the University of Paris VI & VII. "We know exactly what signal we are looking for in our data, and we see strong indications of the production and decay of Higgs bosons in a crucial decay mode with a pair of bottom quarks, which is difficult to observe at the LHC. We are very excited about it." DZero is an international experiment conducted by 446 physicists from 82 institutions in 18 countries.
The mass of the Higgs boson itself is still a mystery, though the new Tevatron data corroborate earlier results from both the Tevatron and the LHC that place the Higgs between 115 and 135 gigaelectron volts (GeV), or roughly 115 to 135 times heavier than a proton.
The new Tevatron data are 2.9-sigma — a relatively low significance but, because they support the LHC results, they place even greater confidence in the signal being a true indication of the Higgs. The Tevatron sees the Higgs decay in particular ways that the LHC isn't sensitive to, meaning it could clarify certain properties of the Higgs that the LHC may struggle with.
After more than 10 years of gathering and analyzing data produced by the U.S. Department of Energy's Tevatron collider, scientists from the CDF and DZero collaborations have found their strongest indication to date for the long-sought Higgs particle. Squeezing the last bit of information out of 500 trillion collisions produced by the Tevatron for each experiment since March 2001, the final analysis of the data does not settle the question of whether the Higgs particle exists, but gets closer to an answer. The Tevatron scientists unveiled their latest results on J uly 2, two days before the highly anticipated announcement of the latest Higgs-search results from the Large Hadron Collider in Europe.
"The Tevatron experiments accomplished the goals that we had set with this data sample," said Fermilab's Rob Roser, cospokesperson for the CDF experiment at DOE's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. "Our data strongly point toward the existence of the Higgs boson, but it will take results from the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider in Europe to establish a discovery."
The Higgs particle is named after Scottish physicist Peter Higgs, who among other physicists in the 1960s helped develop the theoretical model that explains why some particles have mass and others don't, a major step toward understanding the origin of mass. The model predicts the existence of a new particle, which has eluded experimental detection ever since.
Only high-energy particle colliders such as the Tevatron, which was shut down in September 2011, and the Large Hadron Collider, which produced its first collisions in November 2009, have the chance to produce the Higgs particle. About 1,700 scientists from U.S. institutions, including Fermilab, are working on the LHC experiments.
The Tevatron results indicate that the Higgs particle, if it exists, has a mass between 115 and 135 GeV/c^2, or about 130 times the mass of the proton.
"During its life, the Tevatron must have produced thousands of Higgs particles, if they actually exist, and it's up to us to try to find them in the data we have collected," said Luciano Ristori, co-spokesperson of the CDF experiment (CDF is an international experiment of 430 physicists from 58 institutions in 15 countries) and physicist at Fermilab and the Italian Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN).
"We have developed sophisticated simulation and analysis programs to identify Higgs-like patterns. Still, it is easier to look for a friend's face in a sports stadium filled with 100,000 people than to search for a Higgs-like event among trillions of collisions."* The final Tevatron results corroborate the Higgs search results t hat scientists from the Tevatron and the LHC presented at physics conferences in March 2012.
The search for the Higgs particle at the Tevatron focuses on a different decay mode than the search at the LHC. According to the theoretical framework known as the Standard Model of Particles, Higgs bosons can decay in many different ways. Just as a vending machine might return the same amount of change using different combinations of coins, the Higgs can decay into different combinations of particles. At the LHC, the experiments can most easily observe the existence of a Higgs particle by searching for its decay into two energetic photons. At the Tevatron, experiments most easily see the decay of a Higgs particle into a pair of bottom quarks.
Tevatron scientists found that the observed Higgs signal in the combined CDF and DZero data in the bottom-quark decay mode has a statistical significance of 2.9 sigma. This means there is only a 1-in-550 chance that the signal is due to a statistical fluctuation.
"We achieved a critical step in the search for the Higgs boson," said Dmitri Denisov, DZero cospokesperson and physicist at Fermilab. "While 5-sigma significance is required for a discovery, it seems unlikely that the Tevatron collisions mimicked a Higgs signal. Nobody expected the Tevatron to get this far when it was built in the 1980s."
The Tevatron is one of eight particle accelerators and storage rings on the Fermilab site. The largest, operational accelerator at Fermilab now is the 2-mile-circumference Main Injector, which provides particles for the laboratory's neutrino and muon research programs.

God, Santa and Performance Based Acceptance
"He's making a list, checking it twice, he's going to find out who's been naughty and nice…."
We all know the words to this song. It's a great, fun Christmas song full of good Christmas cheer. But I think many times, we envision God like Santa. We think He's an old, fat man with a big, white beard sitting in some magical place that we all hope to go to someday. With Santa, we better be good all year long, or else we will get coal on Christmas morning. He has this mystical power to know everything about us, and he is writing it down so that he can move us from one list to the other, depending on what we do that specific day, week, month or year. I don't have any problem with stories or tv shows, etc., about Santa. In our house, we simply talk about the true meaning of Christmas, and that Santa is just a story like Cinderalla or Toy Story. We are not going to run and hide from something that is popular in culture; we are simply going to teach our kids the truth about it!
But here's the problem. Many of us who are Jesus Followers think that God is just like Santa. We have to stay on the nice list. The problem with that is that because of our constant struggle with sin and the flesh, we cannot stay on the nice list! Here's the bad news: there is nothing we can ever do to make God love us any more than He already does. But here's the good news: there is NOTHING we can ever do to make Him love us any less than He already does! God loves us with such a HUGE love that we can never do anything to earn it! I don't have to spend my time and energy trying to do things that will make God love me! Instead, I can do the things that God wants because of His overwhelming love that He has for me! I am so indebted to Him, that everything in me should desire to obey Him because of His love for me!
2 Corinthians 5:14-15 – "For Christ's love compels us, since we have reached this conclusion: If One died for all, then all died. And He died for all, so that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for the One who died for them and was raised."
Romans 5:8 – "But God proves His own love for us in that whole we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
1 John 4:19 – "We love because He first loved us."
John 3:16-18 – "For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who beieves in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world that He might condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. Anyone who belives in Him is not condemned, but anyone who does not believe is already condemned, because He has not believed in the name of the One and Only Son of God."
As you can see from these verses, God acted in love way before we were able to. And He acted in love even though He knew we would go against Him time and time again! When we understand that God isn't Santa, and that He doesn't follow the rules of "Performance Based Acceptance", it brings us much freedom! Not freedom to sin however we want, but rather freedom to obey the way He wants! Knowing that He will always forgive us when we mess up (1 John 1:9), and that He loves us unconditionally, is so much greater than trying to keep a list of do's and don'ts. Does God want us to obey Him? Yes. Absolutely. But we obey out of love for Him because He first loved us, not because we want His favor. We already have His favor, which should compel us to obey God!
Stop thinking that God is like Santa. Cause He's not. He's so much greater, more loving, more gracious, more merciful, more forgiving than Santa ever could be.

Rejuvenating your mind and spirit is very necessary once in a while during a life time. Today, in the professional work environment of cut throat competition it is very necessary to take a break and seek solace. Such holiday packages will help you maintain the right path which will not let you deviate from the path of ethics and honesty. Today, lot of individuals are running around to satisfy their material urge that will never be satisfied. You come to terms with the facts and truth of life, spiritual holiday is a must. Spiritual upliftment is not based on any particular destination but your interpretation of life without disturbance. Say, in my visit to the Pyramids or Abu salem, it is very easy to come to terms with the truth that however, wealth you collect, it doesn't go with you to eternity. What carries on even after your death is your legacy like the Pharaohs, who are still remembers even after thousands of years after their entire civilization has been wiped away. India is one place to attain spiritual upliftment because of so many philosophies exciting in one place. Some of the most known and sought after places of visit in India for spiritual upliftment is provided below:
Varanasi: This is known to be the oldest city of the world. Formerly known as Benaras, this city is situated on the banks of river Ganga and is known to be the spiritual capital of India. This place is not just sacred to the Hindus, but also to the Buddhists and Jains. The place has been mentioned in many religious books of the Hindus. It is regarded as one of seven holy cities which can provide Moksha (liberation) from the circle of life after death. The holy city of Varanasi will definitely bring you face to face with the balance of life and death. There are both economy and luxurious places of accommodation in Varanasi, but "Palace on the Ganges "and "Welcome Hotel Jukaso Ganges" needs a special mentioning.
Rishikesh: Situated in an amazing location, apt location for deep meditation and solace is Rishikesh. It is also one of the holiest places in India and known for many Ashrams who practise and teach Yoga. The Eastern Philosophy in Rihikesh had helped the likes of George Harrison and Paul McCartney quit drugs and follow a sacred path that resulted in famous numbers like "within you without you", "on you all" and "the art of dying". Couple of Hotels that I would like to mention are "EllBee Ganga View" and "Aloha on the Ganges".
Pondicherry: The city of Pondicherry or simply Pondi has been attracting tourists in the search of spiritual development. The spiritual attraction towards Pondi enhances because of its quiet and calm ambience. Matri Mandir in Pondicherry is an awe inspiring meditation hall along with the Aurobindo Ashram. Every year International Yoga festival is held here. I will recommend a couple of days stay in "Bonjour Bonheur ocean Spray" or the "Nalla Eco Beach Resort"
Such a short holiday package will not be hefty on your pocket. It is a much needed break to lead a life of the present. Even the noted celebrities like Sharon Stone, Richard Gere, Demi Moore, Matt Damon among many others have visited India in search of spiritual upliftment. Never mind even if you cannot get a cheapest airline tickets to India, the money and time you invest in the quest for spiritual freedom will never go waste.

My first day at the SWA forum was actually the 3rd day at the conference, and from all accounts it has been a very productive and relevant first 2 days. Today was no different as it was kicked off with a panel discussion on the Evolution of Software Assurance Processes, and included speakers from Lockheed Martin, Waters Edge LLC, SEI/CERT, and SafeCode. I thought it was an entertaining discussion from a group definitely passionate about the topic. Something seemed missing though as I came out of it hoping for something more…Some good questions rounded out the first session.
Next was my turn to be on stage. I was speaking as part of the "Understanding Technology Stakeholders: Their Progress and Challenges" panel which was made up of John Giligan (The Giligan Group), Djenana Campara (KDM), Bruce Weimer (US Army), and Sean Barnum (Cigital)…and myself. It was an interesting mix of speakers representing various sectors of the software assurance community including assurance 'consulting' stakeholders, assurance 'standards' stakeholders, assurance 'consumer' stakeholders, and assurance 'tool' vendor stakeholders. My basic message was that the DHS Forum had done a great job of communicating their message to the assurance community (including a large number of our customers), but fundamentally flawed in a number of other ways. Unfortunately, the panel part went long, so the Q&A with the Plenary was shortened. The feedback I received was all positive, and that it was refreshing that we didn't sugar-coat our thoughts.
As I mentioned earlier, there just seems to be something missing from the sessions I'm attending. Perhaps it is too much talk, and not enough action…not sure yet. Hopefully the next two days will leave me with a more positive feeling on this.
I speak again on Friday when I share my experiences and observations on the Static Analysis Tool Exposition 2009. I guess it will be another 'refreshing' session…

"When planning for a year, plant corn. When planning for a decade, plant trees. When planning for life, train and educate people." ~ Chinese Proverb
The HARDEST part of my week, honestly, is planning the menu.
The MOST IMPORTANT part of my week, seriously, is planning the menu.
This is my constant conundrum: How does one prioritize something so important, when it is such a drag to accomplish? Ug.
Finding the time to actually SIT DOWN and THINK about what you might eat three days from now can seem both ridiculous and overwhelming. This is why you MUST approach this task with…
I know, for those of us that like to:
- be in charge
- maintain control
- follow the directions
- and NEVER, under any circumstances, color outside the lines…
…it's tough to maintain a balanced approach.
I am not sure that I will ever develop the perfect system or find the most amazing solution that takes away all the fear and chaos. However, I have learned that when I get overwhelmed about what to buy and then prepare, I go back to some of the concepts I discussed on the previous post, "Declaration of Self".
~LISTEN ~ to the inner voice .
~ THINK ~ about how you will feel and what you need to do your LIFE!
~ PAY ATTENTION ~ to your emotions
What do you need as fuel this week?
What is going on in your world?
Is there a new recipie you've been wanting to try?
Do you need to counter-balance emotional eating with a little added protein?
Have you felt a loss of appetite? Do you need to plan a special dinner (or even just dessert) with some good friends to connect and talk about what's on your mind?
Is someone in your family being celebrated with a birthday, good news, etc? Maybe you want to make a special meal in their honor?
Food is a great connector.
One of the great concepts I learned from the most amazing nutritionist I have ever worked with (Barb Freeman) is the difference between eating and feeding.
An example of "eating" might be when you are driving and hand a chicken nugget back to the munchkin for fear of a mock 10 meltdown 😉
"Feeding" is when you thoughtfully partake in a meal and connect with those around you. The food is not the focus, it's an accessory. The focus is the connection and sharing that enriches us as human beings.
Personally, whenever I want to disconnect from people, I tend to disconnect from food…or, I disconnect with balance and burry my emotions in ice cream.
My plan of attack on the menu is to
sit down,
write, and
Yes, order 😉 If you have online grocery shopping, DO IT!
I promise you will save money because you are not getting side-tracked every 2 seconds by things you absolutely do not need! I still go to the store at times, but nothing beats ordering from my list in my jammies at 10 pm. For me, it's a total gift.
This is the template I use for my family's menu:
You will notice that I haven't completed page 2…I can't think that far ahead this week! Sometimes you have to think about the week in sections, and that's ok!!
I've got what I need for now; I will sit down on Friday morning and see what's on tap for the weekend. I'm hoping for a date night, so that will mean some good stuff for the sitter, Ella, etc.
This is where flexibility and balance comes in.
Rather than not do anything, because I don't know what the weekend holds,
I do something because it's only Monday and we need to fuel our lives starting now!
Please know that I am not a nutritionist and I am not making any recommendations for anyone. I am going to see Barb soon, and I would guess her recommendation to me will be to remove the serving sizes attached to the food categories. Everyone is different. I left them on for now to give you a guide.
I really try to listen to my body. Some days I might require an extra snack; some days I may not feel as hungry – I never force myself to eat exactly what I have planned.
You may wonder why my breakfast is always the same…it's because I hate it. I prefer black coffee until 10 or 11 am. Unfortunately, that is not what my body needs. Therefore, I found something that covers all bases nutritionally, and is easy for me to swallow (literally). Skipping this meal can make or break my day and how I feel about myself. I rarely skip it anymore – been there, done that. So not worth it.
Take this for what it's worth. It's a guide, something that has helped me.
Tracking a meal plan is related to this – I don't do that too much anymore, but for those of you interested in tracking your intake, I can share a few different tools I have used that have worked well – more on that later 😉
Food is life. Food is medicine.
Plan it, prepare it, enjoy it!
Bon Apetit!
p.s. If this post freaks you out, and you have suffered or are suffering from any type of disordered eating, I encourage you to take some time to journal about
See what comes up…

Still looking for an idea for this summer's vacation travel? How about taking in an event that started in the 19th century and symbolizes the Old West, and that also gives you an introduction to the scenery that abounds in Wyoming.
Don't miss these Travel stories
Lords of the gourd compete for Punkin Chunkin honors
With teams using more than 100 unique apparatuses to launch globular projectiles a half-mile or more, the 27th annual World Championship Punkin Chunkin event is our pick as November's Weird Festival of the Month.
- Airports, airlines work hard to return your lost items
- Expert: Tourist hordes threaten Sistine Chapel's art
- MGM Grand wants Las Vegas guests to Stay Well
- Report: Airlines collecting $36.1B in fees this year
- Lords of the gourd compete for Punkin Chunkin honors
Reserve that rental RV you've been wanting to try out or make your plane reservations for Cheyenne Frontier Days - http://www.cfdrodeo.com/ - coming up on July 22-31. Take in concerts by Tim McGraw or Ted Nugent and watch cowboys vie for $1 million in prize money riding bulls and broncos. Click on "How to CFD" for the schedule, directions and help finding places to stay or to park that RV.
They call the Cheyenne rodeo the "Daddy of 'em All," founded in 1897 and the world's largest. For the granddaddy, look to Arizona's Prescott Frontier Days - http://www.worldsoldestrodeo.com/ - founded in 1888.
See what else there is to do while you're in Cheyenne - http://www.cheyenne.org/ - by clicking on the Web site's "Things to Do" and then "Attractions." You'll find things to see and do such as the Old West Museum and the restored Cheyenne Depot Museum where Union Pacific Railroad trains once stopped. There's even a Cowgirls of the West Museum. And if you do plan to rent an RV, or if you have your own land yacht, "Places to Stay" lists RV parks and campgrounds.
Next, you could head west across the mountains on Interstate 80 to Laramie - http://www.laramie-tourism.org/ - which touts itself as an Outdoor Town with an Outlaw Past. Depending on the season, you can ski, fish, hike or stay at a guest ranch. Open the "Quick Navigation" menu and click on "Attractions" to pick up information on the Wyoming Territorial Prison and its historic downtown.
If the mountains beckon, the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests -http://www.fs.fed.us/r2/mbr/ - offer vast expanses of hiking, camping, rafting, hunting, fishing and sightseeing possibilities in the region.
You could also admire the mountains from a distance as you head up U.S. 30 and Wyoming 487 to Casper - http://www.casperwyoming.info/ - where you need to click on "Visitors" to learn about the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center museum, old Fort Caspar and outdoor recreation ranging from fishing to skydiving.
Elsewhere in Wyoming, there are endless possibilities for road trips. America's Byways - http://www.byways.org/browse/states/WY/ - has directions for tours including the Cloud Peak Skyway and the Beartooth Highway.
On more mundane routes, keep watch for some of the oddities catalogued by Roadside America - http://www.roadsideamerica.com/map/wy.html - including the enigmatic jackalope.
And before you go, check in with Wyoming Travel & Tourism - http://www.wyomingtourism.org/ - to see what else you can in Cheyenne's corner of the state and elsewhere, including Yellowstone National Park.

One Awkward Celebration/
Wow. I'm like, the worst blogger ever. The "One Awkward Year" movie is going to be a real snoozefest. I'll have to write some shower scenes to spice this bitch up. Anyway - here's something to ponder on this fine Day After MLK Day: Office Parties. What is the deal with office parties?? (Get it? Cuz of that one Seinfeld episode? Lol?)
Office parties are a rare phenomenon in that they are awkward for nearly all of humanity. In recent poll of Awkward Social Interactions conducted by the Better Business Bureau of Sandy Falls, WI*, Office Parties came in at a close second, just under Communal Bikini Waxing.
I work for a relatively large department so we have frequent reasons to get down, office style. There are birthdays, random professional achievements, holidays, etc. All of these parties begin with a group e-mail commanding that we meet at "The Usual Spot" at a certain time. "The Usual Spot" is a filing cabinet located just outside of the main bosslady's office. This proximity allows her to continue working through the party and pop out just long enough to make some kind of toast and, if we're really lucky, coerce everyone into singing "Happy Birthday."
Inevitably, the first person to show up at the party is the guest of honor - you can't be late to your own hoedown- and he or she will continue to linger, alone, next to the platter of Betty Crocker FunFetti Cupcakes until the rest of the team manages to pull themselves away from their cubicles. (We take ourselves very seriously.)
Finally the department gathers and shares in a joyous celebration, avoiding delving into their personal lives too much, sticking to such safe topics as TV ("That Paula Abdul sure is wacky") and food ("Man I love cheese. Cheese, cheese, cheese.") There is, of course, always the oversharer ("I had sex on the beach on vacation!") and the jokester ("You don't look a day over 54, Patty.") and the one who can't talk about anything other than work (I'm not coming up with an example for this, you get the drift.) but I'd imagine that if God would draw thought bubbles over our heads (how fucking sweet would that be??) we'd all be thinking the same thing: "Why can't I just take this cupcake back to my desk, and continue reading Harry Potter fan fiction and pretending it's the New York Times, just like I did for the rest of the week. Ron was about to put the Nuderamous curse on Harry and I really, really need to know what happens.") **
And that's probably my cue to wrap this post up. I could say more, but things are getting ridiculous.
In Love and Basketball,
* Yeah, I made that up.
** Maybe that's just me . . .

Or, rather, I watched the movie take a sharp right turn about 2/3rds of the way through from being a good movie into becoming a piece of shit.
I'm slightly irritated.
I'm not entirely impressed or thrilled with the "lets throw continuity out the window just to make the movie weird to be weird".

BRITISH INDIA w/ SOCIAL ON THE VERANDA & THE HOLLOW MAJORS
Guitarist and founding member of British India Nic Wilson has announced he will retire from music at the end of this year. British India burst onto the scene in 2007. A love of music and a driving determination was the key ingredient that turned four budding musicians into a fierce garage band, who quickly gained a reputation for explosive live shows and the ability to write great pop songs. Their debut album 'Guillotine', supported by triple J and relentless touring of the album, went onto sell 20,000 copies and won the band an AIR award for 'best new Group'. Over 10 years British India have notched up 8 entries into the Hottest 100, released 6 albums, received multiple ARIA nominations, played every major festival in Australia and have headlined over 700 shows. They have toured with many international acts and supported The Rolling Stones. "Thank you for the memories everybody. Rock n Roll I gave you the best years of my life." NIC WILSON 2018. Tickets at oztix.com.au or direct from The BC bar. 18+ event.

Engagement Session at the Manassas Battlefield | Greg and Alyson
Greg and Alyson are a classic love story. They met in high school while running cross country, and while Greg annoyed Alyson at first, they eventually saw something deeper in each other. At the beginning of college, they began a long-distance relationship before their eventual engagement at Virginia Beach in 2017!
For their engagement session they wanted to explore outdoor scenery. I love the Manassas National Battlefield Park for this, we hiked the trails and found great light in the forests and in the fields. Their engagement session came right on the heels of a big storm coming through the area, which set the stage for a stunning sunset and surreal color in the sky. After the sun went down the sky turned orange, casting an eerie glow over us and the landscape. It was a photo opportunity like I've never seen before! Be sure to check out those shots at the bottom of the post.
Throughout their session, Greg and Alyson were extremely easy to work with. I encouraged them to be themselves, to have fun, and feel like they were on a date. They got into that mindset quickly and from there the rest was easy! Enjoy the highlights from their session below!
Want to have epic photos like Greg and Alyson's? Know anyone who has just gotten engaged? Share this blog with them or click the button to get in touch!

Texans & Mario Williams
I know, I know, Mario Williams was the number 1 pick. He's quite the physical specimen, who is just six years into his career. He's been to the Pro Bowl twice. Last season, he had 5 sacks in 5 games. I know this. Despite all of that, the Texans CANNOT keep him. This is not an indictment on William's play or ability, but rather his value (production divided by cost) as compared to his replacements and the rest of the Texans' on field needs. This is about value. This is about team. This is about future not past.
The Texans' don't have any glaring needs. However, just because they're not glaring doesn't mean they are not present. They need more help in the secondary and receiving corps. Plus, you always need linebackers in the 3-4 defense. We all know that Mario is not a true linebacker. With these needs, I don't think you can pay what it will cost to keep Williams—not with his deficiencies/issues (injuries and lack of experience at LB). Based on other top notch pass rushers' contracts, it will cost between 11-15 million dollars per year to get Mario.
When he's on the field, Williams has been fairly productive. According to Lance Zierlein (radio host, 790 AM - Houston) through STATS, Inc., the most disruptive DEs since 2007 (Sacks + hurries +Knockdowns) are: DeMarcus Ware (284), Jared Allen (273), Dwight Freeney (211), Julius Peppers (202), Terrell Suggs 195, and Mario Williams (192.5). Clay Matthews is already at 140.5 after just 3 seasons. However, Mario has missed 14 of the last 32 games.
Would keeping Mario be nice? Yes. But we have other needs, this year and next. With Connor Barwin and Brooks Reed filling in more than admirably in Williams' absence last year, those other needs are more demanding of the Texans' dollars. Remember, this is not a micro level decision about just Mario Williams; this is a macro level decision about the entire Texans 53 man roster.
In addition to this year's needs (recently signed Arian Foster and yet to be signed Chris Myers, Mike Brisiel, and Joel Dreesen), the Texans have some serious decisions on how to spend money next year to secure some cornerstone players like Matt Schaub, Duane Brown, and Connor Barwin. Organizations cannot just make decisions year to year. They have to have a plan in place on maximizing dollars in securing foundational level players for 3-5 year runs. In recent years, the Pittsburgh Steelers did not do this, and just this week cut $40 million in players (Hines Ward, James Farrior, Aaron Smith, Chris Kemoeatu) to get under the salary cap next year.
Many people in Houston have been underwhelmed with Williams' career. Mario is not a bad guy or a bad player. He is a polarizing player due to the fact that he came to the Texans as the overall number 1 draft pick in 2006. With that comes unbelievable expectations. He has had several injuries that have kept him out and limited his effectiveness. He's certainly tough as he played through some of his many injuries, but when you're talking this kind of money, the injuries are a serious factor.
All of this being said, I do not think Mario will or should be staying in Houston. I believe the leading contenders (in order) for his services should be: Buffalo, Atlanta, Chicago, and the dark horse: New England. The Patriots have been missing a serious pass rusher since they traded Richard Seymour to Oakland. It's not personal, Mario; it's just business.

In February of this year, Mitchell Tenpenny released his self-titled EP that included a song that I knew was going to be special called 'Drunk Me.' With the release of this EP, I was blown away by Mitchell's unique vocals that really separate him from the pack in country music- there is no one that has a similar sound to Mitchell. I knew I wanted to have him play our festival this year and we were ultimately able to successfully confirm this as one of the performers. As the year progressed, I seemed to be hearing it all over the place. On the radio, on social media- I was even walking down Hampton Beach this summer and heard one of the bars on the strip playing it. It was announced late this past week that 'Drunk Me' was certified GOLD by the RIAA- a great accomplishment.
I've known that this song has been climbing the charts- at the festival, Mitchell thanked the crowd for making it his first top 40 single. But looking at the Mediabase charts this week, I was so incredibly happy to see 'Drunk Me' currently sitting at #15 on the country charts! And we don't normally do this, but we're asking y'all to call into your local stations and request this song to help Mitchell in having this phenomenal single continue to climb to the top of the charts.
Now since we don't normally do this, why are we now? Because Mitchell deserves it.
For one, Mitchell's talent is undeniable. His vocal ability is so unique so really captivating. Add that in with great songwriting and you have a recipe for a hit. Which is exactly what 'Drunk Me' is.
Secondly, I've had the pleasure of working with a ton of artists over the years but I can honestly say that Mitchell is one of the best artists of any of the artists that I've worked with here at NECM. Whether it be through the festival, at a show, or just an interview, Mitchell is the cream of the crop when it comes to being a good person. He's extremely humble and polite and he is so appreciative of everyone that helps him along the way. I remember him thanking me for bringing him to the festival and a lot of artists say 'thank you' but you can tell that some really don't mean it. Mitchell meant it. This dude just radiates pure sincerity. I can confidently say that Mitchell is one of the nicest people in country music.
And in case you didn't know, Mitchell also does a ton of great work for others through his 10Penny Fund which was created by Mitchell from personal experience with a sincere desire to provide inspiration and support to cancer patients beyond traditional medical treatment. Determined to make change, the Fund invests in sustainable and meaningful programs that motivate patients, encourage healing, and build a community of support. You can donate to the fund here.
So again, please call into your local station and request Mitchell Tenpenny's 'Drunk Me.' This song deserves to be at the top of the charts and so does Mitchell.

This exercise is a Pilates classic. It is intended to strengthen the pelvic stabilizers by challenging them with movement of the leg.
To do this exercise you will need a mat. Start by lying on your back with one leg lengthened along the floor and one leg lengthened towards the ceiling. Inhale as you circle your leg towards you and exhale as you circle the leg out and away, and then inhale again as the leg crosses the body to finish the circle. As you inhale feel the back of your ribcage expand into the ground to keep your lumbar spine stabile and as you exhale engage the pelvic floor and the lower abdominals to keep the pelvis still as your leg is making circles. Do 3-5 reps in one direction and then switch legs.
Things to think about
This exercise is about counter balance and being able to transition your leg through several positions without movement in the pelvis. The challenge is finding the pelvic stabilizers as opposed to larger muscles that are intended to move the legs. For instance if you are stabilizing your pelvis with your inner thighs instead of your pelvic floor then as you open your leg out to the side the pelvis is going to go right along with your leg.
As you do this exercise start with a small circle so that you can be sure that your pelvis is stabile. Then as the movement gets easier you can begin moving the leg in a larger circle.
If you are recovering from any kind of hip surgery it is not necessary to cross the leg over the body when you do this exercise.

The New York Police Department (NYPD) is ramping up its social media monitoring after a man attacked four police officers with a hatchet last month.
NYPD officials said the attacker Zale Thompson, 32, a former Navy man and Islam convert, was a homegrown terrorist acting alone. Police shot and killed Thompson during the October attack.
In response to the incident, the NYPD said it will expand social network scanning efforts of its Operation Sentry Program created after 9/11 to combat the rising prominence of extremist movements online. Police say jihadist groups are luring sympathetic Americans through social media, websites and independent e-zines, which raises the potential for solo-acting terrorists.
"They're trying to access sites that they're going to find stimulating and try to make up for whatever deficits they have in their lives in terms of trying to find meaning or a cause," NYPD Police Commissioner William Bratton told Bloomberg News.
Law enforcement frequently uses social media to gather leads, but often fumbles when it comes to identifying online speech. That's partly due to the inconsistent treatment of what's said online versus in-person. Police often dismiss online speech as harmless, which has led to incidents of online harassment turning into real life threats. Even when online violent threats are reported to the police, they're often not taken seriously and dismissed as jests or empty threats.
Other times, what's said online even as a joke has incited fierce police response. For instance, Illinois police raided a man's house because of a disabled parody Twitter account that described a local mayor as a boozing, marijuana smoking stripper lover.
That disparity in how online speech is treated has caused U.S. Supreme Court to take up the issue, after a man was convicted in 2010 for threatening to kidnap and kill his wife on Facebook.
The NYPD has been enveloped in controversy when it comes to its crime stopping tactics, such as stop-and-frisk, that often end up disenfranchising certain groups. And the new social media monitoring program isn't the NYPD's first attempt at counterterrorism surveillance. The department previously had a secret unit tasked with spying on Muslims in the greater New York City area through eavesdropping, tracking mosques, and infiltrating student groups. The program was catastrophically unsuccessful and was shut down after mounting public criticism for the program's violation of civil liberties.

In the last couple of weeks, a new tour by AOR band Asia has been generating articles that associate the band's music with progressive rock. Naturally, AOR is not progressive rock, but rather a simpler form of rock music.
First, the background. What is AOR?
AOR is defined as either Album Oriented Rock or Adult Oriented Rock. It's a musical genre that surfaced in the late 1970s and was popular as a radio format. Major record labels and FM radio stations loved the genre because songs were short, had pop hooks and conformed to commercial radio standards. While many classic rock bands had a blues base, the AOR bands incorporated keyboards, harmonies and even fantasy artwork, appealing to an adult rock audience. Some of the best known acts included Asia, Foreigner, Boston, Toto, Journey and Saga, as well as recent newcomer Circa.
Why does a commercial pop format form of rock get associated with progressive rock? The reason is very simple. Asia was formed by progressive rock musicians, who had played in legendary acts like Emerson Lake and Palmer, Yes and King Crimson. However, the music they made under Asia had nothing to do with progressive rock. They wanted to play simpler music that would appeal to large audiences and had better chances of getting radio airplay than a fabulous 20-minute epic.
Another well-known AOR band, Foreigner, also included a former King Crimson member. This led to confusion among some critics and music fans, who kept using the term progressive rock whenever they commented on Foreigner, Asia and other AOR bands.
Fast forward to 2012. Fueled by nostalgia, many bands from the 1970s and 1980s are reforming. AOR is dead as a radio format. Commercial radio is a vast wasteland focused on formulaic hip hop, pop and country. Labels and publicists see an opportunity in the progressive rock niche market and re-file the AOR bands as progressive rock. So now, press releases go out and clueless local writers and gullible music fans accept this information and, voila, by art of magic, a simplistic form of pop has been transformed into progressive rock. Some lazy bloggers copy and publish the press release as is, therefore perpetuating the incorrect information.
We can only hope that music fans and music journalists do a little more research before accepting what is fed to them. Enjoy AOR if you wish, but please don't call it progressive rock.

The incomparable Peter Mattei returns to the Met as Amfortas.By Henry StewartPhotographs by Dario Acosta
PETER MATTEI IS EAGER TO GET HOME. It's a stormy winter Sunday, and the world's greatest lyric baritone has just finished his 2017 run of Rossini's Barbiere di Siviglia at the Met—last night. He has a few hours now before his flight back to his native Sweden, if it takes off in this wretched weather, and he's having brunch in a restaurant above Columbus Circle, a short walk from Lincoln Center. Waiting at home are his wife and teenage daughters, plus the Mattei family dog, "the only male with me," he jokes between enthusiastic bites of hash brown and thick bacon. "Otherwise there are only women." The dog is a "labradoodle!" Mattei adds, thunderously and smiling, his accent placing a charming emphasis on the "doo."
The labradoodle's name is Yoda, a reference to Star Wars. He was part of a whole Star Wars litter—a Leia, a Chewbacca, and so on. "We kept the name, of course, because it was a great name," Mattei says. "I love Star Wars. It's a little bit like Parsifal. Almost religious, in a way—a good force, a dark force. I mean, that's the mythic part that fascinates us humans. How many people haven't seen Star Wars? It's the same fascination with Parsifal."
This month, Mattei returns to the Met, to sing Amfortas in Wagner's majestic final opera, the first revival at the house of François Girard's stark, elemental and abstract production since its premiere in February 2013—with Mattei as Amfortas. Since his debut sixteen years ago, Mattei has sung nine roles at the Met, one of the companies at which he regularly appears, along with the Paris Opera, the Royal Swedish Opera and others. He's not an artist of vast and varied repertoire but a specialist who likes to master a role—and it shows. When you see Mattei perform, he's the best—not merely the best performer onstage that evening but the best you'll likely ever see in the part.
His characterization of Rossini's Figaro, for example, is extraordinary, defining for his generation; his "Largo al factotum," a well-worn mainstay of the repertoire familiar even to nonfans of opera, is so good it makes superlatives seem irrelevant. The aria is treated, in Bartlett Sher's 2006 staging, like a rock star's entrance, and Mattei—as seen last January, more than a decade since he first appeared in this production—relishes the rock stardom. It's like seeing Springsteen do "Born to Run": the performance is lived in and loved, without any suggestions of boredom or habit. Rather, it's as if this were his very first Figaro after a lifetime of rehearsals, and he conspicuously enjoys the sneering and sarcasm. His Italian is unassailable, his tone rock-solid, his pitch impeccable, his legato like a rhythmic-gymnastics ribbon dance. He can own the part until he's done with it, which may not be anytime soon.
"I could do the same role forever. I don't have a strong need to do new things. New things are tough, because I have a lot of work to do. And many times, it's not in Swedish! I mean, always, not in Swedish!" he says. "When you know something very, very well, you can become boundless and effortless and totally free. You can fuck up also!" He chuckles; his casual swearing is just a part of his good-natured charm. "But if you learn a new role very well, and have studied it the right way, it's in your grasp. Parsifal was like that. Once I learned it [Amfortas], I found it, and I will keep it.
"A role like Don Giovanni, which has followed me all my life, it's a role that I feel tremendous pleasure to do over and over again. A role like Billy Budd is very hard and tricky, and to find freedom in that, you need to do it many times, to be more and more secure about the language and the rhythmical structure, and to feel that you can really push the orchestra, and they can push you. I feel very wonderful with the orchestra when I do Don Giovanni. I mean, I am running them, and they are running me. To do that with Billy Budd, you need to do it many times."
When asked how he keeps characterizations from seeming stale, he says, "I have a very bad memory! And this is the best thing, because I have to make it new again. And that's also a curse. Because I remember how good it was last time, but I don't know how to do it! And this is really hard to live with. Sometimes I get more afraid of me than other singers. There's this feeling of, 'I cannot do it! I cannot find it!' But then you just focus, focus, focus, focus. And it will come."
NOW FIFTY-TWO, MATTEI MIGHT HAVE HAD A DIFFERENT CAREER IF HE'D BEEN BORN AND RAISED ELSEWHERE. "It was easier when I was a young boy to find a school for classical training than to go and sing Elvis," he says. "I could've sung Elvis, also! But how do I do that up in the north? Become an Elvis singer? I would have to have a certain way of looking. You have to be in Memphis, almost! But I was not. But there was a music school that had classical training, and I had a strong voice, and it fitted."
He made his breakthrough in 1991, as Pentheus in Ingmar Bergman's production of Daniel Börtz's Bacchae, based on the Euripides, at Royal Swedish Opera. (It was filmed for television in 1993, with Mattei.) Bergman "was my first director. I didn't know who he was," Mattei says. Since then, he has worked with many celebrated directors—Peter Brook (Don Giovanni), Patrice Chéreau (From the House of the Dead), Michael Haneke (Don Giovanni) and Bartlett Sher (Barbiere), to name a few. But he didn't search them out; they came looking for him. "After working with Bergman, it started well," he says. "Then Peter Brook called, and then [I'd worked with] two masters, and it just went on like that.
"And then you just work, and you don't give a shit about whether they're famous. I didn't really know so much. And that's also good. The moment you're star-struck or whatever you call it, it's harder—when you have too much respect. What we have in common, I think, is the respect for the work and the respect for the role, and that is a good respect to have—for the music, for the phrasing, for the language, everything. But not the person. Well, it's not disrespect, either. But I think you get it."
What he looks for in a director now is "passion," he says. "They also have to have this thing that, even if it gets to a very good level, they are not happy with that—they want to get further. That's the worst thing, when a director is satisfied in the early stages, and I know that I'm just running half-speed! I can do so much more—why are you not curious? Why do you want to block it now?'"
Chéreau was surely not satisfied so easily. Mattei has never gone further dramatically than he did as the prisoner Shishkov in the late French director's production of Janáček's From the House of the Dead, at the Met in 2009. The production had its premiere at Aix-en-Provence in 2007, with Gerd Grochowski as Shishkov. Bartlett Sher designed his Barbiere around Mattei's energy; Mattei inserted himself into Chéreau's production, yet it still seemed tailor-made. In Shishkov's twenty-minute monologue in Act III, Mattei was as raw as a young Brando, giving an animalistic account of the aria and its tale of uxoricide that cut through the unremitting despondency of the staging to get at deep and varied emotions, as if he were really seeing what he recounted.
HE COMES CLOSE TO SUCH VIVID EXPRESSION IN GIRARD'S PARSIFAL. What he loves about the production is "that it's not artificial," he says. "The pain is really there, you can really see—you can really follow it, from the first step he takes to the stage—that his leg is off, and he has syphilis. And until he lies down at his father's grave, it's physical. You can relate to it. When we worked on it, because it was so clear that this pain was there, I found a special way to sing it. So I think that it helped me to deliver the pain also through the voice, that it became also like crying instead of singing. But crying and singing are not so far away."
His performance as Amfortas at the Met in 2013, preserved on video, revealed a consummate stage actor—projecting his feeling to the upper balconies while maintaining an honesty of expression—as well as, of course, a consummate musician. His exacting pitch is astonishing, his sheer power awesome. In his long Act I set pieces, he shows palpable anguish at his physical condition, in a strikingly blood-soaked, white-collared shirt. He is a large man, several inches taller than six feet, but his hulking frame seems sapped of strength, as if he had no more blood. He clutches at two choristers' shoulders to keep himself upright, and you imagine they must require massages afterward, so intently does he seem to grip and push them.
"Let it do the job with you, and don't try to control it," he says of the role. "Through this pain come certain ways of approaching the phrases, and you can just breathe in. The brain is feeling—there's the physicality of everything. They carry you in, and you just open yourself to it. First, when I listened to Wagner's music, I had a problem with it. I thought it was artificial somehow. But it's not. It's really pain-driven, from the beginning to the last note, and when you get that right, and you have a passionate conductor who allows you to sing it and not force it—it's really important to not force it, I think—then you have it. Parsifal is there."
"WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT? PLAYS IN THE RESTAURANT AS EMPTY PLATES ARE CLEARED AWAY. "DELICIOUS," MATTEI SAYS. "What a bacon!" He doesn't usually brunch at places like the trendy Landmarc; he told OPERA NEWS in 2014 that one of his favorite restaurants in New York City was the Flame, a greasy spoon around the corner. When I tell him I should have taken him there, he laughs. He has found a new diner, nearer to where he's staying now, north of the Met. "It's similar to Flame," he says. "It's Greek, I think."
Mattei loves this city, even though when he's here for work he spends most of his time relatively isolated. "I stay in my cave, and I go for walks, and I eat something," he says. "I like to stay without contact so much with humans"—he laughs—"so I have a hunger to communicate with people when I come onstage. It's a little bit like if you have been sick for a week or two, when you meet somebody the first day after, you have a need to talk. If you have too much fun after your shows and in between, I find it tricky to get the right energy." Alone in his apartment, he practices his banjo, slowly going over finger-picking patterns and listening to Earl Scruggs records, trying to figure out how he does what he does. A mere fan might just appreciate the mystery of it, but an artist such as Mattei needs to break it down and understand how it works.
I ask Mattei about an incident the day before: his Barbiere costar Javier Camerena was heckled for skipping a high F during I Puritani. "Maybe somebody misunderstood singing—somebody who thinks music is about high jumping," he says. "Music is about all the way to that high jump, and if a singer just tries to focus on this one note, I think you've lost what music is all about. It becomes athletic, and for me music is so much bigger than that.
"Yes, you can be impressed by high notes. But to be moved? That needs something else."

Dance Companies at Seymour Centre
It has been a busy term for our Junior and Senior dance companies, preparing and performing at both the Sutherland and the Ultimo Dance Festivals.
On Tuesday the 20th of June and Thursday the 22nd of June 2017 our junior and senior dance companies performed in Ultimo Dance Festival at the Seymour Centre.
The junior company performed 'Rosie' a piece which portrayed some of the debilitating symptoms of the Black Plague, whilst making a reference to the nursery rhyme ring-a-rosie.
The senior company performed a piece entitled 'Aminergic' which explored the abstract nature of dreaming and semiconscious awareness during REM sleep.
Both companies are hopeful to make it to the state competition.
Well done to all students involved who love what they do and the opportunities to participate and grow from these experiences. Thank you also to Mrs Johnson for her continued work with our dance students and specifically with the work in choreographing these two amazing routines.
