My purpose is to lead, strategize, guide, direct and architect problem resolutions for individuals and organizations using self-sustainable philosophy and decision-making, in order to establish complete systems and processes of solutions that work. My vision is to ensure in every household, institution or establishment, intuitive and organic integration of real-time problem-solving becomes second-nature to the operating environment. I intend to achieve this using my unparalleled knowledge and application of the Synergy between Business Intelligence, Technical Excellence and Organic Sustainability. In other words, I solve problems, using fundamental building blocks that most people and organizations overlook, yielding solutions that can adapt to their environment in real-time. Problem-solving processing can lead multiple resolutions to several problems whereas "a solution" to a problem itself only, usually yields a new problem that need be solved with other solution(s) which may or may not be found within the given scope. This cycle can be vicious and critical but is easily overcome by what we call the "Process" or "Spiral" at Don Sigma Corp. This so-called "Spiral" allows us to solve problems that solve other problems by drawing Synergy between resolutions and fundamental building blocks. With this know-how and several other particulates of Don Sigma Corp.'s unique knowledge and technology at my disposal, you're just a contact away from experiencing your dreams come true.

37 year old man | San Marcos, CA, USA | Seeking women 23-35 within 15 miles
Easygoing with a good sense of humor
About me: I'm an easy going, straight forward and honest person who wants to find someone to spend time with. I'm probably somewhat of a nerd but in the good sense of the word. I do like to joke and have a good time and people say I have a good sense of humor. I travel pretty frequently and have a full time job so when I'm home I like to relax and take it easy. I'm not really into the 'dating scene' or clubbing so my ideal first date would be going out to a casual dinner, having a couple drinks and seeing where it goes. After that, a night at home cooking dinner, hanging out, cuddling, watching a movie and getting to know each other sounds good to me! What I'm looking for: I'm looking for someone who appreciates a good sense of humor and wants to spend time together. I like women who are maybe a bit shy at first but open up once they feel comfortable. I want someone who is honest and open and has a good heart. Physical traits aren't what make a person fun to be with so that's not really high on my list of priorities.
Cooking , Gardening/Landscaping , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Playing cards

NC Budget Director Art Pope
By WFAE
Art Pope is a very influential figure in North Carolina and, as he's risen through the ranks he's become a rather controversial one as well. Chairman, CEO and President of Variety Wholesalers and a foundation, he is also the state budget director, appointed to the job by Governor McCrory, for whose campaign Pope volunteered. A former legislator, Art Pope is making waves in his new job and joins us to talk about holding the state's purse strings. (This show was pre-recorded.)
Art Pope - North Carolina State Budget Director, Chairman of the Board and CEO and President of Variety Wholesalers Inc., and Chairman and President of the John William Pope Foundation.

Spencer Wood, a graduate student at the University of Maine, got the idea for his business while playing for the UMaine football team as an undergrad. The idea became the Body Guard Fitness, a product that helps an on-the-go person stay active, anywhere, anytime. "This revolutionary product in full-body fitness and mobility will transform the fitness industry and bodies alike," Wood says. "It is a unique combination of push-up grip and resistance-band technologies that come together to provide a comprehensive and demanding full-body workout." In May 2013, Wood was the runner-up in the UMaine Business Challenge; a competition that looks to provide collegiate entrepreneurs with the support necessary to transform their business dreams into reality. Wood won $1,000, as well as patent and law consulting for his business. Since his success at the challenge, Wood has worked with some of the judges of the UMaine Business Challenge, as well as the UMaine Foster Center for Student Innovation.
"The best place to network and move forward with new ideas and businesses is without a doubt the Innovation Center." Wood says. Wood's goal is for the Body Guard to become a household name and a familiar product in the fitness world. He wants his product to be known for giving users confidence. With the counseling he's received from the Foster Center for Student Innovation and the money he won, Wood is well on his way. "If my product is patentable, which it looks like it is, the sky will be the limit," Wood says.
Austin Kidder, an undergraduate student at the University of Maine, started making premium dog toys when he was nine years old. Austin created his first prototype with his grandfather, a retired mechanical engineer. Realizing that Dusty, his grandparent's dog, and other local dogs alike loved the designs, Austin began selling his first toys at a local dog park. That's when Austin officially became an entrepreneur, creating his business and naming it Dusty's Toys in honor of his grandparent's dog. Austin's sales and buyers have increased exponentially since then. In 2013, Austin participated in the New England Products Tradeshow. He is the youngest vendor on record, and has gained many new buyers throughout New England and New York through his participation. "I never imagined Dusty's Toys would turn out to be as large as it has become," Austin says. "I now have seven styles of dog toys. I sell through trade shows, online, in craft fairs and directly by retail. My toys are now in over 30 stores all throughout New England."
Even with Austin's success, he has set his sights high for accomplishing more goals including distributing his product in at least 100 stores by 2015, selling his products through a national department chain, and distributing his products to at least 1,000 stores internationally before he graduates. With these goals in mind, Austin is working with the staff of the Foster Center for Student Innovation to help protect, stabilize, and grow his business. With their help, Austin plans to begin mass-producing and diversifying his toys. "My goal," Austin says, "is to make long lasting toys that dogs will love."
Engineers Without Borders UMaine (EWB-UM) is open to all students who want to help communities worldwide in sustainability and improving quality of life. EWB-UM is a chapter of the Engineers Without Borders-USA (EWB-USA), which is a national organization with over 12,000 members. EWB believes in building a stronger community for the future. Currently, the project EWB-UM is working on is in Dulce Vivir, Honduras. It is a small community with poor sanitary solutions. The lack of water to the community is contributing to health concerns and harm to the environment. EWB-UM has gone to Honduras many times now to learn about the community and collect information for the system.
The first year, students and professional mentors went to Honduras; they looked at where to construct and how to implement the project. They grew a relationship with the Honduran people and helped them understand the construction process of the project. They designed a drainage system that can prevent runoff to the town from the hills. When the system is in place they do not plan to just leave it, they will be training individuals from the town to be able to fix it if anything happens. They also agreed to help for at least five years for technical support. Learn more at www.umaine.edu/EWB

Tom Mulholland
Does anyone have an issue while clipping...
Does anyone have an issue while clipping the rope? They seem small. What about with double ropes?
Ryan Hamilton
Fine, but not great for a single rope. Can't speak to use with a double. Most small carabiners don't have great gate action, but they'e shaped well to hold the rope without any problems.
I wouldn't use them for sport draws, but no issues with single or twin ropes. Clipping speed isn't usually the thing holding you back on trad.

Transformation of the Mormon Culture Region
Awards and Recognition:
Winner of the Best First Book Award, the Mormon History Association, 2004.
Charting the shift from radicalism to conservatism in the Mormon American West
In this unique study, Ethan R. Yorgason examines the Mormon "culture region" of the American West, which in the late nineteenth century was characterized by sexual immorality, communalism, and anti-Americanism but is now marked by social conservatism. Foregrounding the concept of region, Yorgason traces the conformist-conservative trajectory that arose from intense moral and ideological clashes between Mormons and non-Mormons from 1880 to 1920. Looking through the lenses of regional geography, history, and cultural studies, Yorgason investigates shifting moral orders relating to gender authority, economic responsibility, and national loyalty, community, and home life.
Transformation of the Mormon Culture Region charts how Mormons and non-Mormons resolved their cultural contradictions over time by a progressive narrowing of the range of moral positions on gender (in favor of Victorian gender relations), the economy (in favor of individual economics), and the nation (identifying with national power and might). Mormons and non-Mormons together constructed a regime of effective coexistence while retaining regional distinctiveness.
"Offers a fresh, nuanced interpretation of how yesterday's polygamous, communal, even anti-American Mormon radicals became modern-day social and political conservatives in the American West."--Professional Geographer
"Chief among [this book's] contributions are . . . a number of stimulating and novel insights about the causes and implications of the regional struggle between Mormons and non-Mormons during the period."--Journal of Mormon History
"This well-written book will . . . become a standard reference."--Choice
"Yorgason's challenging insights add an important dimension to the discussion of this time of transition, and they may well have a significant impact on how future scholars deal with it."--American Historical Review

Short-circuit thermally stimulated current (TSC) measurements have been made on thermally polarized foils. The results indicated that the electret state of these samples is due to dipolar orientation and charge trapping. Iodine doping has been found to form a charge transfer complex and hence to modify the electret state of the samples significantly. Higher concentration of doping and charging at higher temperatures has been found to favor charge carrier trapping in energetically deeper traps. An anomalous peak observed in strongly doped samples polarized at higher temperatures is considered to be due to detrapping of carriers from such deeper traps

Storm Shield
By E.W. Scripps Company
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
Named by Time.com's @Techland as one of the best weather apps for Your iPhone. And now the first app to give you severe weather alerts for your Apple Watch.
Severe weather alerts for your exact location. Storm Shield Weather Radio gives you storm-based alerts for tornado, hurricane, flood, thunderstorm, winter storms and other life-threatening weather events via voice and push notification.
Storm-based or polygon alerts help reduce false alarms by alerting you to severe weather based on your exact location within a county. Many other products still use county-based alerts (meaning you'd get an alert even if your location in the county is not within the threatened area).
What people are saying:
• Storm Shield "can keep you appraised of everything from severe thunderstorms to flash flooding... this kind of information can be a life-saver, as many of its loyal users have already attested." - Time.com
• Storm Shield "alerted our family of the Broken Arrow, OK tornado, faster than the TV and tornado sirens." - Robyn, Broken Arrow, OK resident
• "I was in Oklahoma City during the tornado... we were right in its path. Your app literally was a life saver." - dcalk12
Benefits include:
• Get NOAA alerts via voice and push notification no matter where you are in the United States.
• Share severe weather alerts with your family and friends to make sure they stay safe.
• Beautifully sharp radar map as your home screen so you can immediately see what's going on at your current and saved locations.
• Share your radar view with family and friends when severe weather is affecting them.
• See where NOAA watches and warnings are issued by switching map overlays.
• See Hurricane and Tropical Storm forecast tracks.
• Save five additional locations to make sure friends and family at home, work, or out of state stay safe.
• School Closings for Baltimore, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Tulsa and Buffalo.
• View current conditions, hourly and daily forecasts.
• Severe weather forecasts in the app. Know where bad weather will occur before you travel with forecasts by our Storm Shield Meteorologist.
• Watch live video streams when available (usually during local coverage of severe weather in cities listed below).
Battery tips:
• Storm Shield uses iOS Significant-Change Location and Background Refresh (not GPS) to balance location accuracy and battery life.
• Turn off Background Tracking and instead set one of your five locations to where you are most often.
Storm Shield is made possible by The E.W. Scripps Company, including WCPO Cincinnati, KNXV ABC15 Phoenix, WEWS Newsnet5 Cleveland, WXYZ Detroit, KJRH Tulsa, KMGH ABC7 Denver, KGTV ABC10 San Diego, KERO 23 Bakersfield, WMAR ABC2 Baltimore, WFTS ABCActionNews Tampa, WPTV News Channel 5 West Palm Beach, WRTV RTV6 The IndyChannel Indianapolis, KSHB 41 Action News Kansas City, WKBW Buffalo.
View our Support FAQs at support.stormshieldapp.com, and get tips, updates and more on our Storm Shield Facebook page.
Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
What's New in Version 3.5.6
• Storm Shield is now on Apple Watch! Get a tap on your wrist from Storm Shield's Apple Watch extension when you receive severe weather alerts. Quickly see in glance view how many active alerts exist across all your current and saved locations in Storm Shield.
• We've expanded the daily forecast up to 7 days, thanks for your feedback! We've also adjusted the map's default zoom so you can see more of the weather that's coming toward your location.
• We made it easier to adjust the pin drop when creating a new saved location. Now you just move the map instead of having to awkwardly double-tap and drag the pin.
• Performance upgrades for more accurate current location information.
• Additional performance enhancements and squashed a few bugs.
Thanks for all your feedback from the last release and keep your feedback coming! We are working hard to make the product better with each update.
• Accessibility and VoiceOver enhancements for our visually impaired users. A special shout-out and thanks to all our beta testers for your valued feedback on these accessibility improvements!
• Performance upgrades to weather radar display.
• Squashed some bugs and app crashes that were affecting some users from the previous update.
• Squashed more bugs and fixed app crashes
• When creating a saved location, the red location pin will now remain precisely where you move the pin to if you are trying to move the default placement of the pin.
• Squashed the bugs causing the intermittent crashes and download fail errors.
• Added a current location button on the home screen so you can quickly center the map.
• Added a quick tutorial on start up to help you get oriented with the new design.
Apple Watch
Customer Reviews
Sometimes helpful warnings
Used to be reasonably convinced about this app until it missed a Tornado warning that was broadcasted everywhere else in the local news.
With polygons, this app has the right technology to prevent false alarms. If severe weather happens far away in the same county, polygonal information is sort of the only thing to prevent false alarms. How well it works depends on how good their data is.
App is nice. It's a bit limited in some ways though. No Celsius? Easier current overview? Tons and tons of badly typeset NOAA text to sift through for info? Fortunately, his app also has the more useful map overview. Could be more informative with graphical forecast of weather in your polygon.
Tornado Alley
Frequent tornadoes in the area. Purchased three weather alert apps and Storm Shield was the only one that alerted me as local sirens were going off. 10 minutes later and still have not heard from the other two apps. Very happy so far.
Copy your review so you can paste it again if needed as when writing one here you have to create a nickname and after writing the review if that nickname is already taken everything is deleted and you have to start over again.
Works great
Always warns me with what I need to know to stay safe. I love that I can choose which alerts to get and which to ignore. I love that it alerts me even when my phone is on silent mode. I didn't like how fast it drained my power when I had locations turned on so I disabled that. The newer version has background tracking which is better. Still, I love how I can set locations and just get alerts that way instead of tracking my whereabouts. Great app. Totally worth it.

You may "need someone pointing you toward the next book you'll like," says best-selling author Jennifer Weiner, who has written plenty of beach-worthy books people love, including Good in Bed, In Her Shoes and her latest, All Fall Down. The Philly native's all-time favorite summer read is Susan Isaacs' Shining Through, but she guides us to 10 other page-turning beach reads:
1. and 2. Running Like a Girl: Notes on Learning to Run, Alexandra Heminsley and Confessions of a Fat Marathoner, Kristina Burkey (e-book). "I did the ten-mile Broad Street Run this year – very slowly, but I ran the whole way – and am gingerly toying with the idea of attempting a longer run. As a bigger runner, I'm interested in the experiences of other women who've laced up their running shoes later in life, without looking like a whippet-thin Olympian. When I took on my first triathlon, Slow Fat Triathlete was my bible. My hope is that these two books will serve a similar function."
3. The Signature of All Things, Elizabeth Gilbert. "I was enchanted by the voice, the buoyant optimism of Eat Pray Love, and there's no beach read I like better than a great, big, sprawling historical tale that takes me to another time and place. I've been saving this for the end of my book tour and I can't wait to dive in."
4. Graduates in Wonderland, Jessica Pan and Rachel Kapelke-Dale. "Who doesn't remember that moment when your parents finally kicked you out of the nest, when there was no more school and your life was your own? I think this book will take me back to those days when everything was possible."
5. Dear Daughter, Elizabeth Little. This book "was recommended by my friend, television writer Annabel Oakes. I adore a good thriller, especially one that puts that fraught mother-daughter relationship at its center, and this one sounds brilliant."
6. An Untamed State; Bad Feminist: Essays, Roxane Gay. These books are "really going to give you something to talk about," she says. "If you're going (on a beach vacation) with other people you know, you'll have something to talk about at dinner. Gay's essays are consistently smart and provocative. Her first novel was wrenching – horrifying in the best way – so vividly written that it put you in the body of a kidnapped woman in Haiti. Her essay collection will give you dinner-party conversation through September."
7. Be Safe I Love You, Cara Hoffman. "How many books have you read about soldiers? How many of them were about women soldiers? What's that? Zero? Hoffman's book will fill that gap, and if it's anywhere near as terrifying and brilliant as her debut, So Much Pretty, I'm sure I'll be raving about it well into 2015."
8. Life Drawing, Robin Black. "I've only heard great things about Robin Black's new book from so many women writers I admire, and I can't wait to read this one!"
9. Radiant Days, Elizabeth Hand. "I discovered Elizabeth Hand in a New York Times round-up of horror writers. I'm a lifelong Stephen King and Peter Straub devotee, so I was so happy to discover a woman tilling that particular portion of the literary field. Hand's books are spooky, vivid, unsettling and unforgettable, and this one, I'm sure, will be, too."
10. Love and Treasure, Ayelet Waldman. This book "has a great premise (artwork stolen from Jews during the Holocuast), a great voice, and memorable characters. What more could you want in a novel?"

Kasey Kahne gets first win at Bristol
Mar 17, 2013, 4:15 PM EDT
Kasey Kahne pounced on Brad Keselowski to take the lead on a Lap 459 restart and then drove away to win the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Kahne and Keselowski had been fighting for the point and actually swapped it in the midst of lapped traffic before Jimmie Johnson hit the wall at Lap 448 to bring out the caution. Then on the subsequent restart, Keselowski spun his tires, allowing Kahne to jump ahead for good.
Polesitter Kyle Busch also got around Keselowski and finished second for a nice follow-up after winning the Nationwide race at BMS yesterday. Keselowski settled for third, followed by Kurt Busch and Clint Bowyer.
The race changed on Lap 391, when Jeff Gordon was leading Matt Kenseth. While in Turn 3, Gordon's car suddenly snapped right and hit the wall. Kenseth was on the high line and was unable to avoid Gordon, crashing into him and ending both their days.
During the subsequent caution, Keselowski (along with Paul Menard and Ricky Stenhouse) stayed out for track position. But Kahne, who won the race off pit road and started fourth on the restart, quickly made his way toward the reigning Cup champion to battle him for the lead.
Kahne briefly took the lead at Lap 446, but got boxed in by the lapped car of Terry Labonte, which allowed Keselowski got back in front at Lap 448. Six laps later, Johnson crashed to set up what would be the most pivotal restart of the day for Kahne.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (June 17, 2015) – The National Toxicology Program (NTP) released a report yesterday conveying the results of a series of toxicity studies it conducted over the past year to evaluate chemicals spilled into the Elk River last January. West Virginia American Water encourages its Kanawha Valley customers to review this information, which Dr. Rahul Gupta, Commissioner for the Bureau for Public Health and State Health Officer, characterized as "good and reassuring news for West Virginia residents who reside in the affected communities" in a press release issued yesterday by the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR).
As noted by Dr. Gupta, the NTP's report indicates that West Virginia took appropriate public health measures during the 2014 Elk River chemical spill and supports the adequacy of the drinking water advisory levels established at the time of the spill, which West Virginia American Water relied on in restoring full water service.
"All together, the NTP findings support the adequacy of the drinking water advisory levels established at the time of the spill," said John Bucher, Ph.D., NTP Associate Director. "The results identified an opportunity to evaluate a potential health effect in the affected communities. NTP used a comprehensive suite of state-of-the-art toxicology tools to look at the spilled chemicals, and found very little reason for concern about long-term health effects."
NTP is a federal, interagency program, headquartered at the NIEHS, whose goal is to safeguard the public by identifying substances in the environment that may affect human health.

Bean Salad with Dijon Dressing – Gluten-Free
Here we are again being inundated with ads for rich desserts and treats. This time it's for Valentines, which I'm all for, naturally, but aren't there some other desirable gifts besides candy and jewelry? Chocolate may be rich in antioxidants, but it's also usually rich in sugar and calories that I don't really need to focus on right now.
Instead I'm concentrating on one of my favorite lunches, a salad with beans, crisp veggies and a little Dijon dressing. Maybe we'll talk about chocolate later….

5.0 out of 5 stars Rake's Progress,
Mike in Victorville (Victorville, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stravinsky: The Rakes Progress (Opus Arte: OABD7094D) [Blu-ray] [2012] [2010] (Blu-ray)
Greetings from the high desert of Southern California! This title is not available in the U.S. Happily this disc is "All Region" and I could order it directly from Amazon UK. It is a pity that the best production of Stravinsky's one opera should not be available here since it was composed in Los Angeles, California, USA.
This production respects the composer's intentions in every way. The sets reflect the 18th century paintings that inspired the piece and are especially well served by Blu Ray high definition. The period costumes are beautifully designed to draw the characters into the sets, or "pictures", and are a delight to look at.
(This certainly is an improvement over the other Blu Ray offering of this piece that sets the piece in modern day Texas complete with cattle and oil barrons! I couldn't watch - it was such a contradiction to the music and to the mood of the piece. I'm sure the production team for that production thought they were being very clever - but they succeeded only in confusing and confounding their audience!)
The singers in this production are also a delight - to see as well as to hear. The characters are young, compulsive and enthusiastic, so it is wonderful to have singers who bring these physical and vocal qualities to their roles. The orchestra plays brilliantly and the conductor paces each scene perfectly. This is truly an ideal production that is brought to life beautifully on Blu Ray.

5.0 out of 5 stars A benchmark production, performance and recording,
I. Giles (Argyll, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stravinsky: The Rakes Progress (Opus Arte: OABD7094D) [Blu-ray] [2012] [2010] (Blu-ray)
The Rake's Progress was written in 1951 and first performed and staged in Vienna by Carl Ebert who was also Glyndebourne's first director of productions. Subsequently Glyndebourne staged the opera with similar Italianate designs in 1953, introducing a further staging in 1963 but this time with cartoon-influenced designs by Osbert Lancaster. This progression of change led to the current Hogarth inspired designs by David Hockney which were first seen at Glyndebourne in 1975 and were an instant hit. Since then there have been five revivals of this production and this latest performance was recorded in 2010.
Stravinsky was inspired to write the opera by seeing the group of Hogarth's 1735 creation entitled `The Rake's Progress' so it seems wholly appropriate that this production has returned to the creative root of the composition so to speak. The result is a perfect blend of ancient and modern which has avoided any aging process over the intervening 35 years and which allows the fable to relate effortlessly to the current audience generation.
The cast on this occasion is absolutely outstanding. Topi Lehtipuu as Tom Rakewell and Miah Persson as Anne Trulove retain an engaging youthful freshness throughout despite Tom's steady decline. Matthew Rose is an effective and menacingly likeable Nick Shadow and Elena Manistina keeps a light touch as Baba the Turk. Clive Bailey as Father Trulove provides the necessary steadying voice of good reason and Susan Gorton as Mother Goose is more than a match for the guileless Tom in the brothel scene. The chorus in the brothel and madhouse scenes is excellent. All concerned both sing and act their parts with utter conviction and with evident enjoyment in the music. This enjoyment readily transfers onto disc as well as to the amused and enthusiastic Glyndebourne audience.
The imaging is crisp in the manner of HD productions and has a great sense of `presence'. The sound is presented in DTS-HD and stereo and is well able to capture the excellence of the London Philharmonic's playing under the ever-watchful eye and precise direction of conductor Vladimir Jurowski.
There are two short but informative documentary extras which provide an introduction to the opera and this particular production as well as a cast gallery typical of Opus Arte productions.
I personally enjoyed this performance and production enormously and found the recording to be ideal and of very high quality throughout. In my opinion this is a clear 5 star benchmark issue and I would expect it to give equal enormous pleasure to all purchasers.

4.0 out of 5 stars David Hockney's classic Glyndebourne production,
Keris Nine - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stravinsky: The Rakes Progress (Opus Arte: OABD7094D) [Blu-ray] [2012] [2010] (Blu-ray)
Few productions seem so perfectly matched and strike such a perfect balance between the intentions of the opera work and its presentation on the stage as David Hockney's designs for the classic Glyndebourne production of Igor Stravinsky's The Rake's Progress. The measure of the success of the production is that it was first put on at Glyndebourne in 1975 and, as this 2010 performance at the festival shows, it is still delighting and wowing audiences thirty-five years later and will no doubt continue to be revived for many more years. There aren't many productions that have that kind of staying power. A modern artist surely not to everyone's taste, one might expect something relatively avant-garde from David Hockney when called upon to design the set for a 20th century opera, but in reality, his approach almost perfectly mirrors Stravinsky's method of composition for The Rake's Progress. Seeking inspiration directly from the source of William Hogarth original drawings made in the 1730s, Hockney's sets reproduce the intricate cross-hatching in bold, colourful strokes on flat board backdrops - a modern interpretation of a classical design.
It works so well because, after all, that's exactly what Stravinsky's opera does also. Composed in 1951, the composer working in the neo-classical form (before he moved on to serial composition), The Rake's Progress accordingly plays to the conventions of the 18th century opera. Classically structured into three acts, with three scenes in each, Stravinsky's 20th century composition even uses recitative with harpsichord continuo and da capo arias in his treatment of a subject that has many resonances with Mozart's operas. Since it wears its references openly, the names of the characters even reflecting their types - Tom Rakewell leaving behind his beloved Anne Trulove on the instigation of his demonic alter-ego Nick Shadow for a life of dissolution in London - The Rake's Progress can be an opera that is easier to admire more than to really love. It's all very clever but a little dull and constricting, and the opera can consequently be a little static when performed.
There are however compensating factors that prevent The Rake's Progress from being merely a pastiche that is too clever for its own good, not least of which is a beautiful libretto by W.H. Auden and Chester Kallman and some fascinating arrangements by Stravinsky, but what this particular Glyndebourne production has going for it is of course the production by David Hockney and John Cox. Every scene is an absolute delight, breathtaking in some places, with marvellous little touches that bring out the humour of the situations well. Vladimir Jurowski treats the opera very much as a Russian work, while being mindful of its English and international aspects. These are brought out fully in the casting and the singing, which is of fine quality throughout, with Miah Persson and Topi Lehtipuu demonstrating perfect English diction. If their acting performances are unremarkable and a little static, it's probably more a failing with the nature of the opera itself - but there are enough compensating factors in the singing, the staging and the performance to make this a highly entertaining experience.
Depending on your set-up, there might be some minor aliasing in the costumes, but the transfer copes well with all the cross-hatching. Otherwise, the full impact of the colourful production is visible in the High Definition transfer and in the actual filming. The LPCM Stereo and DTS HD-Master Audio 5.1 tracks capture the detail of the musical performance brilliantly and dynamically. Extra features include a Cast Gallery, a brief Introduction to the Rake's Progress that contains recent interviews with Hockney and Cox about the production, and a wider look at the opera in a 12-minute Behind the Rake's Progress featurette.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superlative Stravinsky!,
This review is from: Stravinsky: The Rake's Progress [DVD] [2012] [2010] [NTSC] (DVD)
Every now and again there comes an occasion when one runs out of superlatives to describe productions, and this is one such production! Everything about it is excellent; this is a revival of the famous 1975 Glyndebourne production with costumes and sets designed by David Hockney which he based on the original cartoons of Hogarth. True the cross hatching is a tele visual nightmare as it can flair occasionally, but it is a design masterpiece!
The performances throughout are superb, there is not a single weak link in the production, the three main protagonists are as well balanced a trio as you could wish for, Topi Lehtipuu is an apt Tom with Miah Persson as his beautiful Trulove, although for me it is Matthew Rose as Nick Shadow, the Mefostofele figure of the opera, who stands out! The Glyndebourne Chorus is in really good form as are the London Philharmonic Orchestra under Vladimir Jurowski
The extras are good also, along with the usual cast gallery, we get two short films, one, a discussion with the director, Johan Cox, Vladimir Jurowski and David Hockney about the staging of the opera, the other, a behind the scenes with contributions from cast members as well as the Cox and Hockney, I must admit, I could have listened to more Hockney discussing the work and his designs!
All in all, from start to finish this production is a real joy, one which I will no doubt get hours of pleasure from in the future, and one which whole heartedly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars A visual feast,
This review is from: Stravinsky: The Rakes Progress (Opus Arte: OABD7094D) [Blu-ray] [2012] [2010] (Blu-ray)
I am not a great admirer of Stravinsky's neoclassicism but after having read about David Hockney's staging directly inspired by Hogarth's drawings I was curious. And what a pleasant surprise! The designs work extremely well as a visual counterpart to Stravinsky's music and are captured with state of art picture quality. This production is far removed from the tired attempts at reinterpretation that mar so many contemporary stagings.
Topi Lehtipuu and Miah Persson make a wholly believable and vocally attractive Tom Rakewell and Anne Trulove and Matthew Rose as Nick Shadow is vocally and dramatically outstanding. Vladimir Jurowski and the London Philharmonic Orchestra are absolutely superb.
