2014 Chevrolet Equinox SUV LS 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
Good in snow, comfortable on trips, 25 to 30 mpg and has been very reliable in first 10k miles.

2014 Chevrolet Equinox SUV LT 4dr SUV w/1LT (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
My wife and I purchased a 2014 1LT in 'candy apple red' with the black/light titanium interior in September of 2014. The only option was the 8-way power driver's seat with the remote start package. Chevy improved this vehicle every way imaginable over our 2005 Equinox, which we LOVED. The ride, the handling, the quality of the seating, the quality of the interior, and all of the included electronic possibilities make this a truly fun vehicle for us to drive.

Based on Internet reviews and comments, I bought a 2014 1LT Equinox with the 6-cylinder engine. I now have 600 miles on the vehicle, and am very satisfied. Acceleration is great, it is comfortable and quiet, and it drives and handles well. (On that latter point, I have seen comments about less than precise steering & handling. I have not noticed that in my Equinox, and wonder if that has to do with the fact that the 4-cylinder Equinox has electric power steering, while the 6-cylinder has hydraulic power steering.) BTW, my gas mileage with the V6 has been HIGHER than the EPA estimate - even during break-in.

2014 Chevrolet Equinox SUV LTZ 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
My 2014 Equinox is a fun vehicle to drive and has a good engine and gets good gas millage.
I have only had mine for a couple of months, but so far I have no complaints.
I recommend test driving this vehicle to see how well handling it is.
James Corlew Dealership in Clarksville, TN was very professional and the salesman Jarren Miller was the best and very helpful in helping us with this purchase.

2014 Chevrolet Equinox SUV LT 4dr SUV w/2LT (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
I have had this car for over 6 months and 12, miles, and have not had a single problem with it.
It handled this past NJ winter snow/cold without a whimper.
Didn't need AWD in the snow. I have gotten 32 MPG straight highway and 27 MPG mixed.
Could I think of things to add to the car to make it better?
Who couldn't.
But I am happy with this car and the price I paid for it. It is a very comfortable car with a great engine and great milage.

My wife fell in love with the Equinox in White Diamond.
Lots of room inside.
Well laid out dash. Shift smoothly.
We went with a 4 cyl. Great on gas mileage a little lite in power.

3 weeks ago I purchased a 2014 Chevy Equinox 2LT, 4 cylinder front wheel drive.
Listed price is: $33,800
Current Mileage: 1,400
I have always been a "Buy American" supporter, that is until the mid-2000's when I had my last GM product which was as bad of a car as you could ask for.
Figured its now 2014 and I should give GM a try again after some reviews of similar vehicles seemed to be fairly good, TERRIBLE MISTAKE.
I could write an entire list of issues on this car if the review would let me.
1 point I must make is that within the 1,400 miles of owning this car, it has now been towed 2 times to the dealership for leaving me stranded on the road.

I bought a 2014 2LT in Champagne, with sunroof and 18 inch wheels.
This car is very comfortable, and is fun to drive.
I get 26MPG combined, and I drive exactly the same highway miles as city on the way to work daily. I have 6K miles on it, and am very impressed with this vehicle. The I4 engine is surprisingly fast, and my last vehicle had a V6. The car was built to be comfortable, so who cares how many more square inches of cargo room the competition has? I have no problem hauling my carpentry tools around, and I have a lot of tools.
Take a good look at the Equinox, and decide for yourself.
No cliche intended.

Need a New Iron
Please recommend or warn. And if you use a steamer instead of or in addition to an iron and want to let me know about that, I would appreciate the info. Thx in advance,
I love my Rowenta. I have the Advancer and it irons beautifully. ItÂs more expensive but it has powerful steam which makes ironing so much easier.
Here is a link that might be useful: Rowenta USA
I am glad to hear everyone likes their Rowenta but I am not in that crowd. I have a hundred dollar Rowenta that I hate. I got it at QVC and from the other reviews there at the time I am not alone. The thing is heavy, spits too much and doesn't steam enough. I got so annoyed I bought a TFAL iron on clearance at Target for 17 dollars and I love it. Lightweight, good steam, no spitting. I do have a Rowenta steamer I like but I don't use it very much.
Rowenta! Have owned own for several years and have had no problems. German engineering at it's best.
I have the top of the line Rowenta and love it! The extra weight helps with ironing and I only use distilled water in it even though it says you can use tap water. Expensive yes, but every time I buy a cheap iron, they die, clog up, and do not steam well.
Rowenta - without a doubt the best iron I have ever owned. Like Gates said, the extra weight helps. Plus, I am an avid sewer. Features like the number and location of the steam vents, plus the greater temp variability, make my sewing projects turn out beautifully.
Whether you choose Rowenta or not, use distilled water. No clogging and no awful deposits coming out of your iron onto your fabrics.
I have a rowenta. electronics went haywire after 10 years. and no, i didn't drop it or anything. nothing unusual caused it. it was good while it worked. I'm on this thread to see what others recommend. i guess i'll get another rowenta. can you recommend a model/etc? I'd love to get a steamer (if it's worthwhile to have) if anyone can recommend it as well?
Yes, I agree, Rowenta is a very good iron. However, if you ever need service, the repair company are practically crooks. When you send in the iron for repair the cost will be almost the price of a new iron or they'll try to sell you a refurbished iron again the cost about the same as a new one. And Rowenta will not back you up. Once the warranty is over, you're on your own.
If you really want to splurge, buy a Laurastar. Laurastar consists of the iron + board + boiler. You can spend over $1000 for one of the fancier ones.
I bought one from Craigslist 2 years ago. It can blow steam several feet! It is strong enough to iron both sides of a pair of jeans at once. Paid $200 for mine.
I also have a Rowenta. It does not compare.
"......I only use distilled water in it..."
Rowenta's manual says don't do that. I called them asking why. Device has sensors that require at least minimal conductivity to operate properly. In my own experience, requires approx. minimum 10ppm (parts per million) TDS (total dissolved solids) to work as it should. "Drinking water" from the store is typically around 20-40 TDS. RO water typically between 2-30 so can be iffy. Distilled is zero and conductivity compromised.
Exact same problem with my Cuisinart coffee-maker and it's water-heater on the side. Coffee-maker is fine. Water-heater will not work with low TDS water. Thinks it's empty when it's full and will not turn on. The Rowenta iron exhibits different symptoms but the source is the same.

I also have a Rowenta. It does not compare.
I have a 15 year old Rowenta. It's a good steamer -- the best part about it is it does NOT belch out staining sputters like so many irons do. But the spray feature quit working after about 2 years. I keep a spray bottle on hand and keep going. Not a big problem. As another poster stated, the manual advises tap water. That's all I ever use and the steam function works well with that.
My Rowenta Advancer stopped working well after just over 2 years (auto shut off didn't work and it seemed temperamental about working properly).
I replaced it with the newer Rowenta Steamium and WOW! So much better. I love the new iron. It has a continuous steam trigger that is just great. Auto off works perfectly.
I find these Rowentas far superior to any previous iron I have used and will continue to replace them if they stop working (although hopefully this one will go the distance).
I use half tap water and half distilled (we have moderately hard water). This is what the manual says you can do.
Rowenta ... meh. I buy them on sale at JoAnn's and they are really more of a "disposable" iron these days. $50 is all I'll pay for one. My first, a TOL bought in 1993 with removable water container, started to leak after a few years. The ones still made in Germany (if any) are supposed to be better than the ones made in Mexico. Whatever.
I have the Rowenta DG5030 steam generator iron and it steams really well, but everyone I know who also owns it thinks, like I do, that the iron itself doesn't get hot enough to do a good job of ironing. The steam does all the work.
I have a B&D D2030 Digital Advantage iron that is several years old. I see one still available on amazon.com. I've been very impressed with this iron, and can't remember if I paid $65, or less than that, when I bought it new. It has auto shut-off, but heats right back up really quickly.
Reliable's Digital Velocity 100 iron is pretty good, but there's a learning curve to the turbo-steam feature.

Snapz Pro X 2.2.2
Snapz Pro X is a quantum leap in video capture technology, adroitly capturing full motion video of anything on your screen at a blistering pace, complete with digital audio, and an optional microphone voiceover. Think of it as a digital video camera for your screen. If a picture is worth a thousand words, imagine how priceless a movie would be for getting your point across. Snapz Pro X makes short work of making training videos, producing product demos, creating tutorials, archiving streaming video, and anything else you can think of.
Find out why companies like Apple Computer, Inc., Adobe Systems Inc., MacroMedia, Inc., and countless others rely on Snapz Pro X 2 when they need to convey an idea effectively. Find out why average users are taking full motion video screen captures rather than the static screenshots of old. Join the video capture revolution, download Snapz Pro X 2 today.
In addition to a video capture engine that is 20x faster than anything else on the market, Snapz Pro X 2 boasts dozens of other new features that you'll quickly wonder how you lived without. We did not follow the industry trend of bloated software with extraneous features; instead we rethought the product.
Snapz Pro X 2's interface has been completely redesigned to provide more powerful features while maintaining Snapz Pro X's elegant simplicity. Rather than just tossing new features into an already full-featured product, we carefully examined how people use Snapz Pro X, and developed a new user interface that adds functionality without adding complexity.
For those who need static screen captures for manuals, web sites, etc., Snapz Pro X 2 offers many improvements. One of the most useful is "Live Preview" which shows you exactly how your screenshot will look before you save it to disk. This allows you to change border styles, scaling, cropping, and other settings on the fly. Instead of guessing what your screenshots will look like, you can get them right the first time.
Snapz Pro X supports saving screenshot as .bmp, .pict, .gif, .jpg, .png, .tiff, .pdf, or Photoshop files, with precise control over image compression. Screenshots can be scaled, cropped, color depth-changed, and dithered. Snapz Pro X can also add borders, generate automatic thumbnails, overlay watermarks/copyright notices... you name it, we got it!
Snapz Pro X 2 costs $69. Upgrades from Snapz Pro X 1.0 w/ movie capture are $20.

(9/21/2009 - version 2.2.0)
Nice software, but with the classic Ambrosia "Nag-you-to-death" pop-up window with a timer. I agree with the other people, it's way, way over priced. There's many other utilities and multipurpose utilities out their at a more reasonable price than Snapz proX. Search Macupdate and shop around. Give us a break Ambrosia, and offer more price cuts on your wares.
(4/21/2009 - version 2.1.4)
Works nice but the price is somewhat unreal. The info about how to bring up the app is not visible in the german version - text is to long.
(1/2/2009 - version 2.1.2)
far too overpriced, long wait period for 'movie save' between caps, why not dump the raw cap to the drive and encoded sets of caps later?
(9/10/2007 - version 2.1.1)
Hugely overpriced, not a game, not even a game realted tool. It makes no sense here It works okay. You need a supercomputer for real good video-capturing.
(9/1/2007 - version 2.1.1)
Hm... The price is incredibly high for a tol of this kind. Also, no documentation is provided on how to operate it, whether on the site or as part of the download package. Indeed, Amrosia doesn't seem to have a support section at all. Not impressed.

America so far...
... So the first time stated off on the wrong side of the road in the pouring rain. I ran three stop signs. They put them every where. And was taking corners wide realising I wasn't in Australia anymore and swerving back. We travelled four blocks and nearly killed Charles 3-10 times. So the second time I have a sick disorientated Emma in the car on the way to the doctors. I turn right at a set of lights and Emma starts screaming thinking I'm about to go head first in a 4 car ...
Arrival In America
The Boat Trip Was long and boring. We were given very little food, but enough to survive the trip. When we came upon land, everyone crowed around the edge of the boat. Philadelphia was mostly smaller towns. It had its share of factories but also did some farming and agricultural things to sustain its economy. We live on a busy road, surrounded by other houses. They were placed very close together and living space was very small, but at least we were free and had a new start. ...
Big Apple to Philly Cheesesteak
... She took the keys and told us she would give them to her manager and he would take care of it. We asked if she would write down something and sign it, but she refused. Hopefully the keys will meet up with the car someday. Today, we dropped the car off at the Amtrak Terminal. There was no one outside, just a sign saying to leave the car in a parking spot, write down the spot, the mileage and the fuel reading and ...
Day 37 - Philadelphia
The Plan - see as much of Philadelphia as possible What really happened - For once, we manage to get up and out of the hotel at a reasonable time. After seeing the Liberty Bell, we decide to get on the hop on- hop off bus around the town. I usually avoid these as we tend to hop on and then the kids can't be bothered hopping off anywhere. Everything is spread out though and we can't possibly walk it. Our first stop is the Eastern State Penitentiary. ...
So Long, Water Ice and Philly Steaks!
... a few city staff but people from various organizations we'd worked with and a handful of Philly's government higher-ups. 33 persons in total. But besides Lark forgetting what NCCC stood for and calling our project coordinator Melissa instead of Melanie, we pulled off an impressive debrief. I had also created an "Ameri-Dirty Jobs" video, which was showed then too. Actually, since I had just finished it the night before, that was the first ...

Guess Who Showed Up at the Billboard Music Awards
by Mike Stanz
posted May 19 2014 5:00AM
It's been a while since anyone's said the words, so they just didn't sound real: "Live, from the MGM Grand, Michael Jackson!'
And there he was. Well, sort of. Thanks to science, technology and a sprinkling of wizardry, the King of Pop sprang to life in a hologram. He sang "Slave to the Rhythm," he walked down steps, and he danced with a dozen live dancers on a special set.
In case you didn't see it, check it out here:
It took about five months for the folks involved to get it all together. Those folks, by the way, are Dick Clark Producitions. I've got a sneaky suspicion that flamed by the success of last night's appearance by MJ, they're working on a hologram of Dick Clark himself to host New Year's Even in Times Square in another seven months.
They've got the time - they've got the techology. And both of those things are scaring me right now.

Ghosts was a giant disappointment but man Advanced Warfare is looking really good.

|Jordan Devore
Activision is offering an in-depth look at multiplayer in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare today during a live event but if you're content with seeing just the basics, this trailer will suffice.
With the new exoskeletons, gameplay is much more vertical. These high-tech suits allow soldiers to jump super high and boost to dodge and dash. At a glance, the speedier movement system appears similar to Titanfall but whether it plays that way remains to be seen. For folks who are into Call of Duty and not much else, this will certainly be a different experience.
The trailer also showcased a level with a tsunami which I hope is a sign of things to come. I like those one-off map events, even if they eventually get stale. Also, Hammer of Dawn, is that you?view full story + comments
A campaign trailer for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare came out which goes over some of the plot points. I also speculate on some rather obvious, yet still uncertain, plot developments to come.

The last decade has brought us ten new Call of Duty games. With that steady drip of titles, the series' developers have figured out how to craft increasingly elaborate action scenarios. Despite being at it for a while, the franchise shows no signs of slowing down. That's great news for players that like their games with plenty of adrenaline-fueled moments.
At E3, Activision was showing Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare in hands-off presentations. While that format isn't very conducive to getting a good feel for games, the demo did a fine job of driving home the point that Advanced Warfare is going to be laced with over-the-top setpieces.view full story + comments

To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Richard Strauss, we've published a post a week offering a closer look at the composer and his work.
Our A-Z of Richard Strauss has examined - among other subjects - the debate over his Nazi sympathies, why he relished writing for sopranos but was less than generous to tenors, and the sneaky inclusion of yodelling in his operas. It was written by author and musicologist Gavin Plumley, formerly the blogger behind Entartete Musik.
In case you missed them, here's the series in full:
A is for Pauline de Ahna
Strauss's wife inspired some of the greatest roles he wrote.
B is for Johannes Brahms
The elder composer hugely influenced Strauss, but was critical of his fan's musical style.
C is for Copyright

Strauss is a common German surname. Richard shares it, of course, with the Viennese family who came to dominate dance music during the 19th century, first with Johann Strauss I, then with his son Johann Strauss II and his slightly less famous brothers.
While not related, Richard Strauss maintained his namesakes' predilection for triple time. He frequently uses waltz forms in his operas and both Salome's 'Dance of the Seven Veils' and Elektra's final triumphant dance swing into three-four time. The younger Johann Strauss's widow was present when Salome had its Austrian premiere in Graz, in the same room as luminaries including Mahler, Schoenberg, Berg and Webern.
And then, of course, there's Der Rosenkavalier, which is set in 18th-century Vienna, but sounds much more like the Golden Age of Johann Strauss II, the time in which the drama of Strauss's later opera Arabella unfolds. The charm of the waltz permeates Der Rosenkavalier and gives the piece an aura of melancholy beauty; the opera was a huge success on its premiere in 1911, and became one of Strauss's most popular works.

Christof Loy's production of Richard Strauss's tragi-comedic piece Ariadne auf Naxos will be broadcast by BBC Radio 3 on 16 July at 7.30pm.
The production, conducted by Antonio Pappano, opened on 25 June. Read audience reactions to the opening night.
The opera, a rich combination of tragic opera and bawdy comedy, features three of Strauss's greatest soprano roles. Karita Mattila, who performed the role of Marie in Wozzeck earlier this Season, takes the role of the passionate and lyrical Ariadne; Jane Archibald performs Zerbinetta, one of the hardest roles in the coloratura repertory; and Ruxandra Donose is the intense and enthusiastic Composer. Roberto Saccà sings the role of Bacchus.

Ariadne auf Naxos is based on Molière's play Le Bourgeois gentilhomme. When a rich patron insists that high-brow opera and low-brow comedy are staged at the same time, true love and cheerful promiscuity collide. A playful exploration of two different worlds, the opera examines the role of art in society, and is very funny. Find out more in our Opera Essentials series.
Other BBC Radio 3 relays this Season include Maria Stuarda, which will be broadcast live on 14 July at 7.15pm.
Ariadne auf Naxos runs until 13 July. Tickets are still available.

In 1763, David Garrick shook up the theatre world by banning audience members from sitting onstage at Drury Lane.
Since the theatres had re-opened in 1660 (after the Restoration), it had become common practice to pay a few extra pennies for the privilege of sitting on the stage. A century earlier, audiences at The Globe were also often as concerned with being seen themselves as with watching the play – as one contemporary diarist, Thomas Platter, put it, 'Anyone who remains on the level standing pays only one English penny; but if he wants to sit, he is let in at a farther door, and there he gives another penny. If he desires to sit… where he not only sees everything well, but can also be seen then he gives yet another English penny.'
From the earliest staged performances, audience-watching has played a huge part. So it's no surprise that the idea of people watching people watching a performance has seeped into theatre and opera, in the form of the play-within-a-play.
Perhaps the most famous example is Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, whose 'rude mechanicals' provide much of the comedy with their 'most lamentable comedy and most cruel death of Pyramus and Thisbe'. Taking his cue from Shakespeare, Purcell incorporates a masque into his A Midsummer Night's Dream-inspired The Fairy Queen. Rather than a comic interlude courtesy of Bottom and co., however, Purcell conjures the god Phoebus to oversee a masque celebrating the four seasons. Almost three centuries later, Shakespeare's play-within-a-play becomes an opera-within-an-opera in Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream, in a scene where the composer sends up both the actors' misguided dramatic intentions and 19th-century opera in one fell swoop.
In both Strauss's Salome and Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, a show-within-the-show proves to be a turning point. In Salome, we watch Herod voyeuristically enjoying Salome's 'Dance of the Seven Veils' after his ill-advised promise to give her whatever she wants in return. Wagner's opera, meanwhile, comes to a head with a singing competition between Nuremberg's Guild of Mastersingers – with a rather happier ending than the singing competition in his earlier opera Tannhäuser.
Some works, though, take the idea further and explicitly frame the entire work as an opera-within-an-opera, unsettling the 'real' audience's sense of reality. Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos is one such opera.
Originally written as a stand-alone divertissement to be performed after Molière's Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, Ariadne auf Naxos was later re-worked, with a Prologue added to create the opera that is performed today. In the Prologue, Strauss introduces us to the composer, a music master, a wig-maker, some comedians and a prima donna diva. We see the comic and chaotic preparations for the evening's entertainment – and then become the audience for the performance itself.
To completely different effect, Berg opens Lulu with a Prologue in which a circus ringmaster addresses the audience and introduces his menagerie – the prize of which is the 'snake' Lulu. Like Ariadne, though, the effect is to add another audience layer (or 'diegetic level'), and to frame the rest of the opera as a performance. The palindromic film that comes half-way through the opera takes us another step deeper.
More recently, composers and directors have adapted this stage tradition to include television-shows-within-operas, to the same effect: think of Anna's appearance on 'Larry King Live' in Turnage's Anna Nicole and Jonathan Kent's recent staging of Puccini's Manon Lescaut, in which Manon dances for both a live audience onstage and a fleet of television cameras.
Composers, librettists and playwrights continue to be fascinated by our love of spectacle. And in the very best examples these make us question our assumptions about reality itself. When you're watching an opera-within-an-opera, as Orwell didn't quite say, you look from actors to audience, and from audience to actors again, but sometimes it's impossible to say which is which.

The Austrian director Max Reinhardt (1873–1943) transformed theatre. Before him, the director's role was mostly seen as administrative. But Reinhardt's spectacular, theatrical productions established once and for all the director as an artistic figure, whose vision could guide every aspect of the production. It's no surprise, then, that Reinhardt regularly collaborated with the most popular living German composer of his day – Richard Strauss.
Reinhardt was born Maximilian Goldmann to a Jewish family in Baden. After becoming renowned as an actor in Salzburg, in 1894 he was invited to join Otto Brahm's company at the Deutsches Theater in Berlin. He soon tired of the strict naturalism of Brahm's productions, moaning of having to 'stick on a beard… and eat noodles and sauerkraut on stage every night'. By 1902 he was planning the season of the Kleines Theater, and it was here he made his directorial debut with a production of Oscar Wilde's Salomé.
The show made Reinhardt's name; less than a year later he was a wealthy man, with nearly fifty plays under his belt. Salomé also had a huge impact on Strauss when he saw it in 1903: his 1905 adaptation would be his first great operatic success.
But another 1903 Reinhardt production arguably had an even greater impact. For his production of Elektra (which, like Salomé, also starred the hugely influential actress Gertrud Eysoldt in the title role), Reinhardt used an innovative translation of Sophocles' play by the poet Hugo von Hofmannsthal. Strauss was so struck by the subtle and powerful script that once Salome was out of the way he contacted Hofmannsthal about collaborating on an opera. The resulting 1909 Elektra was the first fruit of one of the most significant artistic partnerships of the 20th century.
For their first original collaboration – the work that would eventually become Der Rosenkavalier – Strauss and Hofmannsthal wanted the best of the best. Unfortunately their plan to invite Reinhardt to direct proved distinctly unpolitic with the Dresden opera house hosting the premiere. But after the first disastrous run-through under the house director, Reinhardt tactfully took control, working on stage and – most importantly – closely developing nuanced characters with the singer-actors.
Reinhardt was everything Strauss and Hofmannsthal had hoped for; Hofmannsthal wrote of the final rehearsal, 'when we rehearsed with the orchestra and the colorful settings on stage, only Reinhardt quietly moved around, and everything started becoming more and more real… something that I have never before seen on stage'. Der Rosenkavalier was an instant success from the moment of its premiere on 26 January 1911.
To express their gratitude to Reinhardt, Strauss and Hofmannsthal wanted their next work to be a gala celebration of words and music, bringing together Reinhardt's renowned Berlin company with leading opera singers. They hit upon the idea of presenting Hofmannsthal's new translation of Molière's Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme with a closing musical divertissement. But as Strauss and Hofmannsthal warmed to their project its original modest dimensions were thrown out the window. Though the lengthy 1912 premiere was appreciatively received, their reworked fully-operatic version of 1916, Ariadne auf Naxos, was much more successful.
Reinhardt would not work on any further Strauss premieres, but in the second decade of the 20th century he led a host of leading artistic figures in Germany, including Strauss and Hofmannsthal, to establish the Salzburg Festival. Reinhardt was a crucial figure from the first festival in 1920 until his enforced exile to the USA in 1937, with his production of Hofmannsthal's Jedermann in the city's Domplatz now a traditional event of the annual festival.
On the other side of the Atlantic, Reinhardt had had earlier success in the US with a 1934 extravaganza production of A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Hollywood Bowl, later made into a film starring James Cagney and Mickey Rooney. He never found the same success again, however, and lived his final years in considerably lessened fortunes. But his legacy continues, in the thriving German theatre scene and the four Strauss operas that might not have come about were it not for his extraordinary, galvanizing productions.

Richard Strauss had a natural affinity for the soprano voice, unsurprising, given his wife Pauline de Ahna's talents, but he has often been accused of lack of generosity towards tenors.
Herod's vocal lines in Salome are particularly cruel, if fittingly exaggerated, which was a trend Strauss continued in Elektra with the brief appearance of Klytämnestra's lover Aegisth. In Der Rosenkavalier, Strauss sends up his contemporary Puccini's favouring of the tenor voice during the Italian tenor's aria in Act I.
However, this year, The Royal Opera performs two Strauss operas which feature extraordinary parts for tenors – the Emperor in Die Frau ohne Schatten and Bacchus in Ariadne auf Naxos – for whom Strauss provides some of his most ardent melodies.

The Story Begins…
A wealthy patron of the arts has commissioned an evening's entertainment: an opera inspired by the story of Ariadne, followed by a comedy. When it becomes clear that the performance will be too long, he decides to have the pieces performed together. Will the result be a failure or an astonishing triumph?
Sparkling Wit
Christof Loy's production opens with a brilliant scenic trick; right before our eyes, the set transforms from the hall of the house of 'the richest man in Vienna' to the grubby basement where the artists in his pay are rehearsing. Loy wittily highlights the differences between the 'serious' singers and the comedy troupe – in their gestures, their costumes and their general behaviour – while providing a radiant finale to the opera.
Two Worlds
In Ariadne auf Naxos, composer Richard Strauss and librettist Hugo von Hofmannsthal explore two worlds: the heroic world of myth in the story of Ariadne, in which she moves from grief to rapturous love for the god Bacchus; and the cheerful, insouciant world of the commedia dell'arte in the story of Zerbinetta and her lovers. This daring combination of styles was Strauss's challenge to the aesthetic of Richard Wagner, who both admired and had misgivings about juxtaposing tragedy and comedy.
From Enlarged Play to Double Opera
Ariadne auf Naxos began life as part of an arrangement by Hofmannsthal of Molière's Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, the 'Ariadne' opera forming the second part of the evening. The premiere in 1912 was not a success – largely as the audience were uncertain whether they were watching a play or an opera. Strauss rewrote the work during World War I, creating for a 1916 premiere the Prologue we know today (replacing the Molière material), and developing the character of the passionate young Composer.
A Love of the Soprano Voice
Throughout his career Strauss revelled in the soprano voice. Ariadne auf Naxos includes three of his great soprano roles: the passionate and lyrical Ariadne, the flamboyant Zerbinetta (one of the hardest roles in the coloratura repertory) and the intense and enthusiastic Composer, a role written for the great German soprano Lotte Lehmann.
Ariadne auf Naxos runs from 25 June–13 July 2014. Tickets are still available. The production is given with generous philanthropic support from Hélène and Jean Peters, Hamish and Sophie Forsyth and The Maestro's Circle.

'I discovered Beethoven's 7th when I was six. I heard it playing in the kitchen, picked up a fork and started conducting,' says Jette Parker Young Artist Michele Gamba. 'From then on, I said I wanted to be a conductor.'
For Michele, music came early. He started playing the piano aged four, when he came home from school to find his parents had bought a piano, and gave his first solo piano performance at the age of 12 (he played Mozart's Piano Concerto No 14).
He studied at the conservatoire in Milan, the Scuola di Musica di Fiesole in Tuscany and the Royal Academy of Music in London, and made his conducting debut at the Royal Festival Hall with the Future Firsts London Philharmonic Orchestra in 2009. He then worked as assistant conductor and répétiteur at the Hamburg State Opera, before joining the Jette Parker Young Artists Programme in 2012.
Next Season, after two years as a conductor and répétiteur on the Jette Parker Young Artists Programme, he will take up the post of Jette Parker Associate Conductor, assisting Royal Opera Music Director Antonio Pappano.
'I hugely admire Tony as a conductor. He communicates fantastically with singers and orchestras, and the way he makes music is so natural and so physical,' says Michele. 'I was in the car a few months ago and I heard Brahms' 2nd on the radio. It had this lush, warm quality to it, and I knew instantly it was Tony conducting! He has an unmistakable quality of sound – "the Pappano sound". It emanates from him in the pit and the rehearsal room.'
Michele is currently working as répétiteur for Pappano in rehearsals for Richard Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos.
'Strauss really was a master of orchestration and Ariadne auf Naxos shows his genius. The instrumentation is exquisite. It very light and almost chamber-like, yet Strauss draws out very subtle colours as well as big outbursts of sound.'
In addition to his répétiteur duties, Michele will perform the celeste with the orchestra.
'The celeste stands out clearly in the music; it brings a translucent quality to the orchestration,' he says. 'It is great to be in the pit with the orchestra as you can learn a lot. You understand the communication between the musicians and learn how to breathe with the body of the orchestra as a whole.'
Ariadne aux Naxos, which opens on 25 June, stars Karita Mattila and Thomas Allen.
'Working with Thomas and Karita, it is easy to understand why they have such fame,' says Michele. 'Karita is making a role debut, yet it seems so natural for her and she makes it sound like a piece of cake. They are both true musicians who understand their characters, yet also bring something personal to the role.'
Since joining the Jette Parker Young Artists Programme in 2012, Michele has worked on a huge number of productions. His first Season included The Ring Cycle, La bohème, Eugene Onegin, Tosca, Written on Skin, Don Carlo, Simon Boccanegra and La rondine.
'It's a very busy position as we are involved in everything for the Main Stage,' says Michele. 'I have to pace my study and start working on a piece at least four months in advance. I need time to really get into the music; I have to be able to play it through, listen to it and live with it for a while. It's like using a good olive oil, I need to let it marinate! Ironically, the more disciplined you are with your practice, the freer you are with your music.'
This Season, he has worked on Les Vêpres siciliennes, Carmen, La Fille du régiment, La traviata, Tosca and Dialogues des Carmélites.
'Working on Les Vêpres siciliennes, a big new production with a long rehearsal period and a fantastic cast conducted by Antonio Pappano, was a highlight for me,' he says. 'With opera, there is so much traffic to deal with when conducting – you have staging, costumes, movement and chorus scenes – and it is all part of the conductor's job to make these elements organic with the music. Les Vêpres siciliennes epitomized the 'Pappano sound' and it was wonderful for me to contribute to the musical result,' he says.
'To be working with Tony for the six productions he is conducting in the 2014/15 Season is a real honour. It will offer such a different palette of colours, and I can't wait to get started!'
Michele will be conducting Act 1 of Così fan tutte for the JPYA Summer Performance on 20 July. The Jette Parker Young Artists Programme is supported by Oak Foundation. Find out more about the programme in our News and Features section.]]>
Finnish soprano Karita Mattila recently spoke to BBC Radio 3's In Tune ahead of her upcoming Royal Opera performances as Ariadne in Richard Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos.
'It's never too late for a debut,' Karita told presenter Sean Rafferty. 'I'm glad in a sense that I waited so long with this part, because now I realize that you really need two voices for it - one very low with these lyrical touches and then this very Wagnerian [voice], with a very dramatically-written top.'
'It being an opera within an opera makes it even more fascinating. When I was learning it, it was hard to understand what it was about, but the production has certainly helped.'
Karita first sang Strauss in 1995, performing the role of Chrysothemis in Elektra: 'It was a totally different repertoire compared to what I had been doing before. That was the start, and then came Arabella and Salome.'
The singer also touched upon her future plans during the interview. When asked by Sean Rafferty about potential plans to sing Wagner - and in particular Tristan und Isolde - she said: 'I don't know. I should probably wait - I'm like Ariadne, just hopefully not waiting for the same thing! After my first Sieglinde [in Die Walküre] next year, I'll see how it feels.'
Ariadne auf Naxos runs 25 June–13 July 2014. Tickets are still available.
There will be a concert performance, with the same cast, in the Birmingham Symphony Hall on 6 July 2014. Tickets can be bought through the Symphony Hall website.

I'd just received my brand new Moto G and a couple of questions came to me after using it a while:
1. Is the noise when typing on the keyboard normal? It's not very loud, but a sound that comes with the haptic feedback.
2. Inside the Camera App, when you open the gallery (swipe to your left), you can hear a sound very similar to the one mentioned above. Is that sound from the camera working?
3. Anyone got screen bleeding?
Thanks a lot guys.

my old house
still aways to go
this has been such a change for the better
:) Laura
Wow, that's so beautiful. My house has metal siding. I hate it. Lots of dings and dents, like an old car. I am looking into siding. Was looking at the new fiberglass siding. Problem is I don't have the fiberglass money. More expensive than cement board, though unlike cement board, there is zero maitenance and zero fading. Right now the color of my house is white and I'm looking to change. I love the color of your house and was looking to do either that color or a buttercream color. Not sure yet what will go well with this old Victorian. It's amazing what siding can do. Your house looks like a totally different house. Good luck and enjoy!
