All of us here in Portland know that this is one of the best places to live on Earth - the most livable city, fantastic transit, amazing cuisine, astounding craft beer and wine and breathtaking natural beauty. Oh, and did I forget to mention our fervent belief that some of the best opera in the world happens right here in Portland. Yet, being true Portlanders and Oregonians, we also believe that even less civilized parts of the world deserve their place in the opera world. So, several years ago, General Director Christopher Mattaliano began mounting a series of expeditions to opera destinations along with a number of our friends - our Portland Opera Travel Adventures. So far, we've visited New York (twice) to take in shows at the Met and City Opera, and we visited the Santa Fe Opera Festival last summer. We've seen some fantastic opera at these leading companies and had a lot of fun together on the tours.The question on everyone's mind at last year's Santa Fe tour was "When are we going international?" Well, you can bet with a name like Mattaliano and when the subject is opera, the first place that came to mind was ITALY!So, last Friday, July 1st, Chris and nearly twenty Portland Opera friends embarked on Portland Opera's Italian Adventure. They are off on an incredible ten day trip combining three of the most prestigious opera venues in Northern Italy – Turin, Milan and Verona, including five classic operas from three of the greatest Italian masters. Chris started sending back his travelogue and photos this morning, so here's his latest report.By the way, the weather here is even nicer than there!Peter J. Bilotta, CFREDirector of Development

Our "viaggio operatico in Italia" began on Saturday, July 2, in Turin. The hotel has a lovely garden where our group met for a glass of prosecco prior to dinner:We soon discovered there were other inhabitants sharing the garden with us:Actually, there are five turtles - I'm told they are a family of two parents and three kids - living in the hotel garden! Since this trip is about seeing great Italian opera in Italy, I named the turtles after the five great Italian opera composers - Rossini, Donizetti, Bellini, Verdi, and Puccini.This is the fourth trip we've done with Act I Tours, a travel agency specializing in tours for opera lovers. They are a pleasure to work with - very organized, professional, warm and attentive. We've had the same guide, Jaqueline Sale, for each tour, and she has become part of the family. Thank you, Peter Bilotta, for finding this excellent agency!The participants on this tour are a nice mix of long-time Portland Opera subscribers, donors and board members, and a number of folks who are new to me. It's a great opportunity to deepen the friendships we have with our patrons, and make new friends with fellow opera lovers.Here we are at dinner the first evening:Louis and Judy McCraw share a laugh:A number of people provided a toast or anecdote during the meal, and Tom Denny even sang an impromtu, heartfelt song. Isn't it wonderful what a few rounds of good Italian vino will do...?Sunday morning we enjoyed a walking tour of Turin with a local guide. Turin is the headquarters of Fiat, and also famous for its chocolate. Here the group listens to our guide introduce one of Turin's great chocolate shops:Pamela and Paul DeBoni pause inside one of Turin's beautiful gallerias:Dolores and Fernando Leon sample the delicious local hot chocolate:We happen to be in Turin during the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy - the period in Italy history known as the Risorgimento, when Italy threw over foreign rule and became a unified state. There were on-going celebrations throughout the city - concerts, sky-divers with parachutes of the Italian flag landing in the piazzas, and many parades:Our first opera was Lucia di Lammermoor at the Teatro Regio. This theater is quite modern compared to the classic Italian opera houses, and uniquely beautiful. The performance was excellent - with good singing, and a fresh, interesting production by Graham Vick.Here is George and Lee Anne Carter during the curtain call:And a happy group of opera lovers afterwards:More later!Ciao,Chris

The rain may have stopped but flood waters continue to impact Jackson county, especially the roads.
As of Wednesday night, 19 roads are closed. 20 others are impacted by water and the Jackson County Roads Department urges extreme caution when passing or recommend local traffic only.
"The road department is working long hours and overtime to try and get things repaired," said Larry Alvarez, Jackson County Engineer.
Maridale Road isn't underwater now but flooding did leave it's mark on the newly paved roadway and the ditch right next to it.
"The vegetation hadn't been established very well so a lot of that had washed out some," said Alvarez. "Also when the base gets wet it's compromised."
Wednesday, portions of Old US Road were completely underwater, forcing motorists to turn around and seek alternative routes while others took advantage.
A family went fishing in the flooding waters and caught a bass.
The Jackson County Roads Department has been working overtime to tend to damaged roads but when they are covered in water they have to to wait for the water to recede.
However the longer the water covers the roads, the potential for damage increases.
"If it stays underwater for a period of time, the base gets wet and it gets soft," said Alvarez. "And when the traffic drives over the road with a soft base, it cracks."
Andy Davis is able to get to and from his home just fine, but the river flooding is impacting his daily exercise route.
"I have a one mile loop which will take me three quarters out, but it's way underwater," said Davis. "It will be days before I can see my walking path again."
Citizens lodge in Marianna looks more like a small lake than a park and that seemed to be the case for some of the roads throughout the county too.

Motorcyclist was killed in accident at London Colney 'longabout'
10:20am Tuesday 13th November 2012 in News By Court Reporter
A driver who pulled out and killed a motorcyclist who was on his way to a memorial service for the legendary motorbike road racer Mike Hailwood has been convicted of causing death by careless driving.
Lorraine Ferris, 51, of Hall Gardens, Colney Heath, was yesterday placed on a 12-month community order and told to carry out 100 hours unpaid work.
Judge Richard Foster also banned her from driving for 12 months, ordered her to take an extended re-test before regaining her licence and told her to pay £300 prosecution costs.
Luton Crown Court heard that motorbike rider Neal Christian, 64, was thrown into the air and travelled ten metres along the carriageway after he crashed into her blue Fiesta.
Mr Christian, from Enfield, had met up in Hertford with six other bikers to make the journey to Norton motorbike factory in Birmingham and were to then go to a memorial service for Hailwood in a nearby church.
Prosecutor Rachel Drake said the crash happened at between 9.25am and 9.30am in the morning of Sunday, March 20, last year.
Ferris was taking her partner and two children to Norfolk for the day from her home in Colney Heath when she pulled onto the "longabout" on the A414 from Colney Heath High Street and struck Mr Christian, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Ferris, who was cut out of the her car and was treated for fractured ribs and a punctured lung, denied causing death by careless driving.
When interviewed in May last year, Ferris told the police she was taking her partner and children for a day out in Norfolk. She said she stopped for a few seconds to see if the road was clear and saw nothing else.
The prosecutor said: "She was adamant she did not see the motorcyclist. She made a catastrophic error in her judgement. If she did stop and look it is clear she did not look properly.
"She was not keeping a proper look-out and pulled out in front of oncoming traffic."

CHARLOTTE COUNTY: The man accused of killing Englewood antique shop owner Jeffrey Mazur granted a jailhouse interview to reporter Saundra Weathers. In the interview, James Besaw admits to the killing, but claims not to remember any of the details of the crime.
"I haven't been to court yet. It's not your place to judge me. It's not your place to punish me. Right now I'm innocent," said James Besaw.
After an hour long interview at the Charlotte County Jail, Besaw's innocence may be up for debate.
"I've never been a violent person," said Besaw.
Besaw says that changed on December 29th when Antiques Plus owner Jeffery Mazur was brutally murdered.
"It just happened so fast," said Besaw.
Besaw, dressed in jail issued khakis, face covered in tears, says he can't remember exactly what happened the day of the murder.
When asked what provoked the attack he couldn't remember that either, but admits he was there.
"I just don't know. I got mad and before it happened, it was over with. I know something was said," said Besaw.
Mazur was found in a pool of blood in his Englewood store in late December. Deputies were on a man hunt for days before tracking down Besaw.
He's due back in court in May.
Besaw says his fate is uncertain.
"I'm scared of what's going to happen to me," said Besaw.
We asked what he thought was going to happen.
"I'm going to die in prison. I don't think I'm ever going to get out," said Besaw.
Besaw says even though he's blocked out most of the details in the murder, knowing he's responsible for Mazur's death is something that's hard to forget.
"A lot of the stuff I'm going through emotionally and mentally is because people out there that I've hurt. The victim, his family," said Besaw.
He faces robbery and homicide charges but says his biggest obstacle is facing Mazur's family.
"I know an apology is never going to be enough. An apology really doesn't amount to anything in this situation," said Besaw.
Besaw is no stranger to prison. He served nearly 12 years in a South Carolina prison on various burglary charges.

The action-packed premiere, which airs at 8/7c on Fox, kicks off a season that promises higher stakes and added danger for Martin Bohm (Kiefer Sutherland) and his son Jake (David Mazouz), according to showrunners Tim Kring and Carol Barbee.

After reading lot on internet and reviewing lots of reviews i finally bought this product. Binocular kinda non-popular product are not easily available in the market, so first of all thanks to flipkart.
Product meets my expectation and is very much same as proposed by the brand.In this budget- Best buy, you cant expect more out of it. Cover and specially strap lacks quality quotient, but who gives damn, in that price for a package.
Recently purchased "Celestron UpClose 20 x 50" and I am extremely dissatisfied with the quality of this product. It never displays clear picture to you. Also, weight of this product is too much so you will not be able hold the binocular steady to get clear view. May be you will require a stand to do this, but since quality is not good you will get clear picture.
Even less priced binoculars, my friends has, are of good quality.
This binocular is totally a failure.
I should say that Celestron UpClose 20x50 Porro Binoculars are good. Even though built with Bak-7 prisms, they are very good for terrestrial viewing. And they are certainly not bad for astronomical viewing. Can see the details of the moon and many planets. Can also see star clusters and galaxies in a dark, clear sky. There are no collimation faults. They are sturdily built, comparatively light weight and hand holdable. If held in both hands with good support, the shake could be much reduced. Thank you Flipkart.
this is a good binocular. certainly the best deal avalable here currently.
the 20x zoom is awesome! clarity is also great if u have a stable hand. can see fine details of the moon's surface. can read a car's number plate which is around 100-200m away! close u eyes and buy it! :)

I thought my 14,000th post should be my doggies.
This is an attempt to show Neusch doing his butt rubbing thing on the couch and also his attempts to play with Kirbie. Kirbie is still unsure but he acts like he wants to. I ended the video when Neusch started getting a little fresh.
(by hikergirl68)
Kirbie and his toy
(click to see the big images and my witty captions)
He's been off and on sleeping since I brought him home from daycare. He doesn't act as tired after daycare now than when he started so this tiredness is a bit more than normal. He boarded at his usual place while I was gone last week but he was there a couple of days longer than usual (I picked him up on Monday). He had diarrhea starting Monday and his stool was still somewhat loose this morning but improving. He's been eating and been his usual perky, playful self (except for wanting to poop a lot) but now he has some discharge from his eyes and has been more peaked. I'm going to see what he's like in the morning and will likely take him in if he's not acting better tomorrow. He hasn't wanted to poop since he's been home, so that may have cleared up.
I remember Emma having post-boarding/stress diarrhea for a day when she was alive and that's what I thought this was. He just hasn't been 100% since he got home.
I put the packaging from the grill in a pile (to be thrown away tomorrow). It must also be comfy. (Taken with picplz.)

Residents left baffled after Winchester City Council moves charity bins
6:00pm Thursday 20th March 2014 in Winchester By Charlotte Neal, Reporter
RESIDENTS near Winchester have been left confused after a strange move from the city council.
The car park of the Tesco store in Harestock, on Priors Dean Road, is usually home to clothes recycling bins in aid of The Salvation Army and Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance Service.
Last week Winchester City Council appeared to have removed them and replaced them with their own which do not list any benefitting charities.
Dave Fountain, of Littleton and Harestock Parish Council, said people were unsure as to why this had happened.
He said: "I used to go down to Hampshire Air Ambulance because it is a worthy cause. If ever we had a big clear out that is where we would put all of our clothes, but now I don't have a choice and have to put them in a council recycling bin."
Winchester City Council said the bins are designed to guarantee charities match or exceed the income they currently generate, with the surplus being used to support community projects.
When the scheme was first introduced, leader of the council, Cllr Keith Wood, said: "We believe we can create a win-win situation so that everyone benefits. I would like to stress that our charities will not be a penny out of pocket - indeed they may gain income. But the scheme will also give us the resource to direct money to charity and community causes much closer to home.
"We are determined to make our recycling services a success and this is an easy and obvious way to do it."

PSA and Dongfeng sign capital tie-up deal, report says
PARIS (Reuters) -- PSA/Peugeot-Citroen and Dongfeng Motor Group have signed a memorandum of understanding to proceed with a planned 3 billion euro ($4.1 billion) capital tie-up, a source with knowledge of the matter said today.
The non-binding deal was signed after PSA's board approved the tie-up, said the source, who declined to be identified ahead of a deal announcement scheduled for Wednesday.
The deal remains subject to a PSA shareholder vote and is likely to be signed formally during Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Paris in late March, sources say.
Under the memorandum of understanding signed today, Dongfeng and the French state will each pay about 800 million euros ($1.1 billion) for a 14-percent stake in a reserved share sale and a rights issue, sources have said.
The capital tie-up will end the Peugeot family's control of the 200-year-old French company. The Peugeot family's 25 percent stake and its 38 percent of voting rights would be diluted to parity with the government and Dongfeng, leaving it short of the one-third required to veto decisions.
The deal will help PSA survive the withdrawal next year of 7 billion euros in state guarantees to its sales financing arm. The guarantees are keeping the French firm afloat.
Doubts, divisions
PSA is among the worst casualties of Europe's six-year market slump and is being kept alive by state guarantees that expire next year.
The company has been slow to adapt to competition and critics argue it has missed opportunities for strategic partnerships in the past, such as with BMW or Japan's Mitsubishi Motors.
Even so, the tie-up with Dongfeng has divided the Peugeot family and some analysts have cast doubts over the logic behind the deal, saying PSA could instead sell its lending arm or its Faurecia parts division.
Questions also have been raised over what Dongfeng would gain through the tie-up beyond putting some of its excess cash to work. As of the end of June, Dongfeng had 24 billion yuan ($3.96 billion) worth of cash or cash equivalents, according to its mid-year report.
A Dongfeng source said the interim agreement would include cooperation on technology but industry experts doubt PSA will be willing to share engineering know-how that would upgrade the Chinese firm's Fengshen line of vehicles.Contact Automotive News
