Bay Wellness - How Can An Ultrasound Help?
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of organs and structures inside the body.
During pregnancy, doctors use ultrasound to examine the fetus and mother. Unlike x-rays, ultrasound does not involve exposure to radiation. Ultrasounds also aid diagnosis and treatment of gynecologic issues.
OB/GYN Steven C. Goldberg, M.D., FACOG says that the on-site ultrasound at Bay Practices makes it very convenient for our obstetric and gynecologic patients. We are a certified by the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine and offer ultrasound procedures performed by a certified ultrasound technician right here at our office. Procedures can be scheduled conveniently for our patients. They know exactly where we are located, and the majority of patients receive their results right away. This is especially comforting for patients who may have pregnancy complications or a family history of ovarian cancer, adds Dr. Goldberg.
I read my patients results and report them to the patient during the same visit, says Dr. Goldberg. By the time a patient leaves our office, she has a potential diagnosis and a plan of action. Patients appreciate knowing their results immediately and being able to determine next steps in their plan of care.
During pregnancy, ultrasound can be used to:
Determine gestational age
Document the viability of the fetus
Confirm a visible heartbeat
Survey the anatomy of the fetus, measure its size and observe its growth
Confirm multiple pregnancies
Monitor the health of the fetus in later pregnancy
Check amniotic fluid levels, fetal movement and breathing
Screen for physical and chromosomal abnormalities such as birth defects
Investigate vaginal bleeding and concern for miscarriage
And of course, help answer the question that Dr. Goldberg says ninety-five percent of parents want to know, Is the baby a boy or a girl?
Gynecologic ultrasounds are used to:
Help diagnose pelvic or abdominal pain
Diagnose and examine ovarian cysts and fibroid tumors
Investigate irregular bleeding
Investigate heavy menstrual bleeding
Examine suspected pelvic or abdominal abnormality found on physical exam.

Future Net Worth is $500 Thousand.Future Net Worth is $500 Thousand. Future is Rapper. Future Date of Birth is Nov 20, 1985. Future Country is United States of America. The future is the indefinite time period after the present. Its arrival is considered inevitable due to the existence of time and the laws of physics. Due to the nature of reality and the unavoidability of the future, everything that currently exists and will exist can be categorized as either permanent, meaning that it will exist for the whole of the future or temporary, meaning that it won't and thus will come to an end. The future and the concept of eternity have been major subjects of philosophy, religion, and science and defining them non-controversially has consistently eluded the greatest of minds. It is the opposite of the past. In the Occidental view, which uses a linear conception of time, the future is the portion of the projected time line that is anticipated to occur. In special relativity, the future is considered to be absolute future or the future light cone. In physics, time is considered to be the fourth dimension of the universe.
In the philosophy of time, present...

The testimony over causes of the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi has concentrated on one or two possible causes while ignoring one the demonstrators themselves identified, Obama's statements about how he "got bin Laden." Indeed, the Democratic National Convention had featured the slogan "bin Laden is dead and GM is Alive." Some news reports quoted demonstrators at Cairo shouting "Obama! We are ALL Osama now!"
Shouldn't this be added to the list of possible causes?
The administration initially attributed the cause to Muslim outrage about an obscure video deemed critical of Mohammad the Prophet. Others cite terrorist groups with suspected ties to al Qaeda. Shouldn't we include what the demonstrators were reportedly saying?

CHICAGO — Trying to make up for lost time, President Barack Obama plunged back into his re-election campaign Wednesday, urging supporters not to be discouraged by the frustrating debt negotiations that consumed Washington and kept him from raising money for his 2012 bid.
On the eve of his 50th birthday, Obama spoke to donors at two fundraisers at the historic Aragon Ballroom, and via video conference to supporters at more than 1,000 house parties from coast to coast.
The fundraisers were held as Obama's presidential campaign lowered expectations for how much money it would bring in this summer, in part because the campaign had to cancel 10 events while the president and his staff were stuck in Washington for the showdown over raising the government's debt limit. Obama's quick stop in Chicago was his first trip outside the Washington region in more than a month.
Obama didn't try to sell his supporters on the deal to raise the debt ceiling and cut spending that he signed this week after arduous negotiations with Republicans. But he did warn that the country couldn't afford another "self-inflicted wound" like it experienced this summer.
"We don't have time to play these partisan games. We've got too much work to do," Obama said. He told supporters not to be discouraged by the partisan fights in Washington, saying, "You did not elect me president to duck the tough issues. You elected me president to do the tough things."
At a high-dollar dinner fundraiser later in the night, took a swipe at his Republican adversaries, saying, "I give the other side credit. They are single-minded in their focus in wanting to cut programs and shrink government."
The Obama campaign hoped the president's Chicago events would give a boost to fundraising efforts that are expected to bring in tens of millions less this summer than the $86 million raised for the campaign and the Democratic National Committee in the spring.
"We're going to raise significantly less in the third quarter than we did in the second quarter," said Jim Messina, Obama's campaign manager. "We will not be able to replace all of these events just because of his busy schedule. We always knew that he had his job and we had to do this around his schedule, and the truth is we just have to deal with canceling a month's worth of events."
The president still holds a large fundraising advantage over his GOP rivals and has been quietly building his campaign organization while Republicans try to establish themselves with voters in Iowa, New Hampshire and other early voting states. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney collected more than $18 million through the end of June, while Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, another top contender in the GOP race, brought in $4 million.
Obama was greeted in Chicago by his former chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, now mayor of Chicago, before heading to a fundraiser headlined by local favorites Herbie Hancock, Jennifer Hudson and the band OK Go. Donors paid between $50 and $35,800, the legal maximum, to attend.
With the cloud of uncertainty that surrounded the debt debate lifted, Obama smiled brightly while the crowd of about 2,400 sang "Happy Birthday."
Earlier in the night, Obama spoke via video conference to supporters gathered at some of the 1,000 house parties being held around the country. Democratic officials and campaign aides also fanned out across the country to raise money for the president.
Democrats said the slow fundraising pace during the summer was expected because many donors are on vacation and high-dollar events don't typically resume until after Labor Day. Many donors, meanwhile, may not feel compelled to give money yet because the campaign is still in its formative stage and no clear Republican rival has emerged.

Juneau Superintendent Glenn Gelbrich has been passed up again for a superintendent's job in another state.
Gelbrich and David Peterson of Belfair, Wash. interviewed on Monday for the position in the Nampa, Idaho school district. Peterson was selected Thursday night by the Nampa Board of Trustees, according to the Idaho-Press Tribune.
Peterson has already accepted the job and will start July 1. He has been superintendent of the North Mason School District in Washington state since 2007.
Gelbrich has been in Juneau since 2009 and has recently been looking for a position outside Alaska. He was an unsuccessful finalist for a job in Kalispell, Mont. in January.
"It's a competitive process. I mean, there are talented people out there," Gelbrich said after Monday's interview in Idaho. He was unavailable for comment on Friday.
Gelbrich says he would like to be closer to family in the Pacific Northwest.

Friends and parents of prison inmates get a reduced price of $5.95 on Escape from the Prison System: Finding the Narrow Door if the book goes to a prison address. Prisoners find encouragement that the future need not mimic the past.

The quotes below come from Escape from the Prison System: Finding the Narrow Door.

*During the chase, adrenaline pumped so hard, and my heart beat so fast, I could barely breathe. Fear strangled me.--Gary

*I began to cry. I told her my story, and that I hated the way I lived: a strung-out, skin-and-bones drug addict.--Shanna

* ... the authorities did a Pre-Sentence Investigation. The woman who conducted it wrote, " ... career criminal without remorse, sociopathic and with no redeemable qualities."--Pamela

*I was a deadbeat dad. I was a deadbeat everything.--Gary

*Before I reached fourteen, I sometimes ducked to the seat of the car to escape gunfire. At seventeen I shot a man.--John

Pamela now works in prison ministry and John studied to be a drug and alcohol counselor.

You can welcome the people in this book as neighbors. How did this happen? Read these and other miracles in Escape from the Prison System: Finding the Narrow Door.

If you yearn to see your prodigal sons and daughters transformed through salvation, be encouraged as you read of God's touch on the most disenfranchised segment of the population.

My wife and I are travelling to US and will be in Oregon for 12 days in second half of May. Will be travelling the coast, Crater Lake and wine country. Is there likely to be any problems finding accommodation if we don't book ahead. We were thinking we would just "walk in off the street" when we found a nice town. Also what is traffic like? Aggressive or reasonably polite drivers. I only ask this because we drive on the left in Australia and the experience I had on the Washington DC beltway a couple of years ago was fairly dramatic. Thanks.

I'm guessing that you will be flying into the Portland airport (PDX). Do you intend to spend any of your time in the city of Portland either at the beginning or end of your trip?
IMO the heaviest and therefore worst traffic is in the Portland area on I-5, I-205 and I-405. Also you might want to avoid driving on the major streets in the city of Portland.
You shouldn't have too much trouble in the rest of the state.
On the weekends you should plan a list of lodging options and call ahead at least a few hours before you will arrive in the town. The nicer places quite often get booked up sometimes days in advance.
There is plenty to see in your 12 days in Oregon.
There is a light rail system from the airport into downtown Portland if you didn't want to rent a car as soon as you flew in. There are places to rent cars downtown as well as the airport.
Report Abuse
I think that since you are traveling in May, you should not have much of a problem finding places to stay except for maybe Cannon Beach if you plan to stay there- especially on a weekend-
I think you will not experience very aggressive drivers along the coast- maybe a few tailgaters if you are dawdling along taking in the scenery- just pull over and let them pass. The Oregon coast will not be anywhere like the Washington DC Beltway I assure you.
Post a note when its closer to departure for suggestions on what to see and where to go.
Oregon is a beautiful state- it may still be kind of rainy and cool in May although we have had great weather recently.

Be aware that Monday, May 27 is the Memorial Day holiday in the U.S.
On THAT weekend you would do well to have your reservations cemented in advance.
The rest of late May in rural Oregon should not present any lodging challenges at all.
I too, don't suppose rural Oregon can emulate DC in terms of driving and haste, so don't worry about that.
Report Abuse
Memorial Day Weekend is one of two during the year in which are big events for the wineries. Many are by appointment only, so on these special weekends, almost all open for tastings and special events. It is a lot of fun!
As for traffic, we are not normally aggressive drivers here.
I agree with the others that reservations for Memorial Day Weekend would be recommended, and the worst traffic will be around Portland on 205 and I-5.
Report Abuse
I found Oregon drivers to be noticeably slower and more cautious than what I'm used to in Florida; even on busy streets in the city, it was not intimidating in the least. There were significant traffic slowdowns leaving the city.
The Memorial Day weekend will present accommodation challenges pretty much anywhere you'd want to go, so do book ahead.
Report Abuse
Crater Lake is quite a distance from the coast, and it's entirely possible that some or all of the rim roads (the roads circling the lake - a big reason to visit) will still be closed in May. You can also drive all the way there, only to find the high elevations so shrouded in cloud and fog that you literally can't see the lake, full stop. (Been there, done that. Twice.)
So I'd strongly suggest you play it by ear, but that you have an alternative plan for the scheduled days for Crater Lake, in case real-time conditions are unfavorable.
Since you're visiting the coast, an easy alternate to Crater Lake would be extending the coast drive a couple of hours into northern California, in order to visit Redwood National Park and the various redwood groves between Crescent City and the Avenue of the Giants (a little south of Eureka.) In the late spring this can be a terrific experience - huge trees disappearing into the mist, wild rhododendrons flowering in the shadows... magic, like nowhere else.
Also, of course, do NOT miss the Columbia River Gorge, Hood River Valley and Mount Hood, all spectacular in the spring, with blooming orchards, waterfalls full of water from melting mountain snows, and the historic Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood, with spring skiing likely still in progress. Worth at least two days to explore.
Report Abuse
If you survived DC, you can definitely drive Portland.
While there can be more traffic on the freeways cited above, it's pretty straightforward. You just drive or crawl along, depending on the time of day.
The trickiest driving in Portland is when three lanes of traffic come together to form the Sunset Hwy 26 West. This is the logical route to Cannon Beach, so you should take it. You go through the tunnel and suddenly you are going up a hill and on curves. There is a simple key to success: Get into the middle lane as soon as possible (before the tunnel ideally). You do not want the far left lane because the locals take this fairly quickly. Even more importantly, you absolutely don't want the far right because the large trucks are in a low gear and barely making it up the hill.
Report Abuse
Thanks for your replies.
We intend to stay in Portland for about five days before picking up the car. Can someone recommend a suburb close to the city attractions which is on the light rail network. We're also like any "must do' advice for Portland and any recommendations for apartments/B&Bs you may have.
Thanks again.

McMenamin's is one of the nicest places in Portland http://www.mcmenamins.com/CrystalHotel
If the weather is nice you should only spend 1 night in Portland to start and come back at the end for 3 or 4 nights to see the things you missed on the first day.
If the weather is poor head for Powell's bookstore.
Report Abuse
McMenamins is great, but the Crystal hosts concerts regularly; are you sure it isn't too loud there? McMenamins Kennedy School might be better since they mentioned neighborhoods.

Nanotech dazzles at College Park
From cancer treatments to odor-free socks, the coming nanotech revolution will transform life the way automobiles and computers did in the last century, nanoscientists would have us believe. And with worldwide investments in nanotechnology growing 10 percent last year, the time seemed right, said University of Maryland researchers, to showcase the initial two years of their Maryland Nano Center in College Park.
Last week's NanoDay — the center's first — was a platform for industry and academic scientists and about 100 students to convince 300 guests that atomic level manufacturing — nanotechnology — will be the industrial revolution of the 21st century.

MOSCOW, November 26 /TASS/. The intelligence units of the self-proclaimed unrecognized Donetsk republic (DPR) have noticed redeployment of almost 40 Ukrainian tanks to the line of contact, Eduard Basurin, the DPR Defense Ministry spokesperson, said on Thursday.
"Twenty one combat infantry vehicles and armoured personnel carriers have arrived in the Opytnoye populated locality, 3 kilometres away from the line of contact; 18 tanks have been deployed in Gnutovo, 8 kilometres away from the disengagement line," the Donetsk News Agency quoted Basurin as saying.
DPR's reconnaissance men saw defective tanks moved to positions along the local water reservoir in Karlovka village, 14 kilometres away from the line of contact, Basurin went on to say.
Ukraine's Right Sector volunteer corps has deployed a battalion reinforced by ten tanks near the disengagement line in Krasnogorovka.
The OSCE special monitoring mission in Ukraine sees a new escalation of tensions in Donbass, the deputy head of the mission, Alexander Hug, said on Thursday.
The number of shellings on the contact line reaches between 8 and 70 per day, Hug said, stressing that the figures show that the ceasefire is fragile and the situation in the region is complicated.
The sides violate the agreements on withdrawing heavy weaponry and weapons with the caliber under 100 mm, Hug said. The mission registered 57 various explosions near the Donetsk railroad on November 22.
Numerous violations of the ceasefire regime were also registered in the area on November 23. Another 17 explosions carried out by both sides, including mortar fire and heavy machine guns, were heard in Krasnogorovsk.
Under a package of measures to implement the Minsk agreements (Minsk-2) adopted on February 12, 2015, 100 mm artillery guns and weapons of larger caliber are to be pulled out to a distance of 50 kilometres from each other; MRLS - to 70 km; MRLS Tornado, Uragan and Smerch as well as the Tochka tactical operational missile complex to 140 km. In accordance with the September supplement to the package of measures, guns with a caliber below 100 mm and tanks and mortar launchers, including those with a caliber of 120 mm, were supposed to have been withdrawn before November 12.

Providing affordable non-emergency transportation services
Company History
Dan and Suzanne Reid formed Grove Transit in 2010 to meet the growing need for quality non-emergency transportation in the Hattiesburg area. We studied the demographic information and saw that South Mississippi, and in particular Hattiesburg, presented a unique opportunity with its rapidly growing Senior Citizen population, as well as the presence of world-class medical facilities. All of our research and analysis confirmed our belief that the Mississippi Pine Belt Area was ideally situated for us. After looking at possible acquisition targets in the area Dan and Suzanne came to the conclusion that their best bet was to put Dan's over thirty years of experience assisting young companies and management teams to work by forming a new company built on the core principles of Safety, Reliability and Courtesy.
Since opening our doors in late 2010, we have grown from a small company with 20 vehicles in service, completing 75 trips per day to one of the largest private non-emergency transportation companies in Mississippi regularly completing over 500 trips a day. From the outset we brought on a management team experienced in providing non-emergency transportation services in Mississippi. Currently we employ over 85 individuals and maintain a fleet of over 75 vehicles. We have expanded from renting a small two room office in Hattiesburg to purchasing and renovating our new corporate offices on Hardy Street, directly across from the zoo. In addition we now have locations in Gulfport, Ocean Springs, Picayune, McComb, Laurel, Magee and Waynesboro, with plans for possible expansion into other parts of Mississippi and neighboring states.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Eighty-six students from The Carol Martin Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science in Kentucky, including Trimble resident Jenna Rowlett, are involved in some form of summer learning and features travel and study abroad opportunities for 54 Gatton Academy students.
The Gatton Academy is once again partnering with Harlaxton College in Grantham, England, to offer a study abroad course. Jenna Rowlett of Bedford, a member of the Class of 2017, will study Honors: Introduction to Literature with Professor Walker Rutledge of the WKU Department of English.

Many of us have fond memories of our grandfathers… the stories, the candy, the fishing lessons and life lessons we learn while visiting them are things we treasure and carry with us throughout our lives. But as family dynamics have changed, more and more grandfathers are finding the old adage of "spoil them rotten and send them home" no longer a reality. In fact, around 2.4 million grandparents across the United States are now raising their grandchildren.

Long summer days are here again! This is a wonderful time of the year to enjoy being outside, have BBQ and possibly even a vacation. While enjoying many different activities this time of year, make sure you are doing so safely.
Enjoying the outdoors safely
One common injury during the summer is sunburn. Make sure that you apply sunscreen in the morning and every two hours throughout the day while you are outside. Remember that if you are swimming or sweating, you should reapply sunscreen more often.

Is MapQuest Going After Google With Android SDK?
MapQuest's recent entree into mobile developer tools is an interesting one. Choosing Android over iPhone means going toe to toe with Google, a familiar competitor to MapQuest on the mapping front.

Invisible character
Complete the game and play as a character who you are not meant to play that mission (for example, playing as Legolas on Cirith Ungol). In the intermission sequences, your character will remain where you left him and not do what the default character would have done. This is most notable in The Tower of Cirith Ungol level, where in the final intermission sequence you will see a sword flying around by Frodo's head on its own and Sam's voice coming out of nowhere; and The Southern Gate level where in the final intermission sequence you can see Aragorn and Legolas running into the battle and your character just stays in the gate.

*Former Bogota, N.J., Mayor Steve Lonegan's campaign team is in damage control over a racially charged tweet targeted at opponent Newark Mayor Cory Booker, reports Politico.
Lonegan, a Republican, and Booker, a Democrat, are both running to fill the Senate seat left vacant by the late Frank Lautenberg.
The tweet, which was quickly deleted from the campaign staff's Twitter account, included an annotated map of Newark, which it joked came from Booker's debate notes on foreign policy. On the tweeted map, parts of the city were circled and labeled "West Africa," "Guyana," "Portugal" and "Brazil." The western tip of the city was labeled "Middle East," followed by, "Afghanistan Pakistan PLUS Bangladesh AND Trinidad."
In 2010, Newark's population was 52.4 percent African-American, compared to 13.7 percent African-American for the entire state of New Jersey.
The tweet came during Monday night's Democratic debate among New Jersey Senate candidates, according to Politico. Booker, U.S. Rep. Rush Holt, U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone and state Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver discussed school vouchers, U.S.-China relations and national security.
The Twitter account in question is managed by Lonegan's campaign staff and is independent of his personal Twitter account. On Monday, Lonegan had encouraged his followers to look to the campaign account for live updates on the Democratic debate.
"Steve didn't find it funny or reflective of the way he thinks and asked that it be taken down immediately," Rick Shaftan, a Lonegan adviser, told Politico about the anti-Booker tweet. "And as you know, it was."

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, in conjunction with The University of Tennessee Agricultural Experiment Station in Columbia, will be hosting the ninth annual Maury County/Steve Brown Memorial Youth Dove Hunt on Saturday, Sept. 13.
Youngsters ages nine to 15, who have successfully completed hunter education, are eligible to participate. The participants must be accompanied by one-non hunting adult. Due to space restrictions, the field is limited to the first 60 hunters who register. The Steve Brown Memorial portion of the event's name was added last year in honor of TWRA wildlife technician Steve Brown who worked at Yanahli Wildlife Management Area in Maury County.
Events begin at noon and will include registration, lunch, clay target range shooting, door prizes, safety orientation, and the dove hunt. The hunt concludes at sunset.
To register for the event, email Maury County Wildlife Officer Mark Ventura at email@example.com or telephone 615 483-7305.

Thomas Hampson in Recital
Monday evening, November 21, 2005, I was fortunate enough to attend a benefit recital given by Thomas Hampson in the Fox Theater in Spokane, Washington.
The Princeton Festival presents one opera annually, amidst other events. Its offerings usually alternate annually between 20th century and earlier operas. This year the Festival presented Benjamin Britten's Peter Grimes, now a classic work, in a very effective and moving production.
If you like your Ariadne on Naxos productions as playful as a box of puppies, then Opera Theatre of Saint Louis is the address for you.
Opera Theatre of Saint Louis took forty years before attempting Verdi's Macbeth but judging by the excellence of the current production, it was well worth the wait.
On June 16, 2016, Los Angeles Opera with Beth Morrison Projects presented the world premiere of Pulitzer Prize-winning composer David Lang's Anatomy Theater at the Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater (REDCAT).
In its compact forty-year history, the ambitious Opera Theatre of Saint Louis has just triumphantly presented its twenty-fifth world premiere with Shalimar the Clown.
The sharp angles and oddly tilting perspectives of Charles Edwards' set for David Alden's production of Jenůfa at ENO suggest a community resting precariously on the security and certainty of its customs, soon to slide from this precipice into social and moral anarchy.
Last week an audience of 50 assembled in the kitchen of a luxurious West Village townhouse for a performance of Marriage of Figaro.
In a recent article in BBC Music Magazine tenor James Gilchrist reflected on the reason why early-nineteenth-century England produced no corpus of art song to match the German lieder of Schumann, Schubert and others, despite the great flowering of English Romantic poetry during this period.
With the New York Premiere of Florencia en el Amazonas, the New York City Opera Steps Out of the Shadows of the Past
Opportunities to see Idomeneo are not so frequent as they might be, certainly not so frequent as they should be.
Not merely Don Carlo, but the five-act Don Carlo in the 1886 Modena version! The welcomed esotericism of San Francisco Opera's extraordinary spring season.
The early summer San Francisco Opera season has the feel of a classy festival. There is an introduction of Spanish director Calixto Bieito to American audiences, a five-act Don Carlo and two awaited, inevitable role debuts, Karita Mattila as Kostelnička and Malin Bystrom as Janacek's Jenůfa.
Now that the curtain has long fallen on the third and last performance of the Ring cycle at the Washington National Opera (WNO), it is safe to say that the long-anticipated production has been an unqualified success for the company, director Francesca Zambello, and conductor Philippe Auguin.
Most of the attention during this revival of Daniele Abbado's 2013 production of Nabucco has been directed at Plácido Domingo's reprise of the title role, with the critical reception somewhat mixed.
Four years ago, almost to the day (13th to 12th), I saw Melly Still's production of The Cunning Little Vixen during its first Glyndebourne run. I found myself surprised how much more warmly I responded to it this time.
This recital celebrated both the work of the Park Lane Group, which has been supporting the careers of outstanding young artists for 60 years, and the 90th birthday of Joseph Horovitz, who was born in Vienna in 1926 and emigrated to England aged 12.
Headed by General Director Luana DeVol, a world-renowned dramatic soprano, Opera Las Vegas is a relatively new company that presents opera with first-rate casts at the University of Las Vegas's Judy Bayley Theater. In 2014 they presented Rossini's The Barber of Seville and in 2015, Puccini's Madama Butterfly. This year they offered a blazing rendition of Georges Bizet's Carmen.
Ever since a friend was reported as having said he would like something in return for modern-dress Shakespeare (how quaint that term seems now, as if anyone would bat an eyelid!), namely an Elizabethan-dress staging of Look Back in Anger, I have been curious about the possibilities of 'down-dating', as I suppose we might call it. Rarely, if ever, do we see it, though.
Leading a very muscular Dutch Radio Philharmonic, Principal Conductor Markus Stenz brilliantly delivered Alban Berg's Wozzeck with a superb Florian Boesch in the lead and a mesmerising Asmik Grigorian as Marie his wife.
There can't be that many operas that start with an extended solo for double bass. At Holland Park, the eerie, angular melody for lone bass player which opens Pietro Mascagni's Iris immediately unsettled the relaxed mood of the summer evening.
Monday evening, November 21, 2005, I was fortunate enough to attend a benefit recital given by Thomas Hampson in the Fox Theater in Spokane, Washington.
Hampson, whose roots are in eastern Washington, was donating his time to benefit the renovation of the theater, an art-deco palace with magnificent acoustics that recently escaped demolition when acquired by the Spokane Symphony. Since vocal recitals by international stars are rare in my own city of Seattle, I decided to make the trip across the state to hear this one, and it was well worth the trip.
Not until shortly before I left the hotel for the theater did it occur to me to check Hampson's extensive web site www.hampsong.com for the program, and I ultimately wished that I had done so much earlier. Hampson had chosen to present a selection of Schumann lieder with which I was not familiar, a set of Mahler lieder related to "Des Knaben Wunderhorn" texts, and eight American art songs, most of which I knew or had heard. But the printed program supplied nothing beyond the song titles, composers, and poets, and the singer's biography. This lack was partially made up as Hampson talked to the audience at some length between the sets of songs, summarizing the texts of the German songs (and referring the audience to his web site for full texts—which I did find, although not the translations, having to follow his link to www.recmusic.org for those).
Despite using his voice for all this talking (he began by using a microphone, but as the recital continued he stopped bothering to walk over to it and just spoke to the audience), his singing voice held up well. He opened with "Lust der Sturmnacht", followed by three settings of German texts after slightly disconcerting Danish poems by Hans Christian Anderson. Hampson presented these with an expressive range of vocal color, from his full operatic sound in the martial "Der Soldat" to intimate stillness at the end of "Der Spielmann". Impressed as I was by Hampson's singing, I found myself even more astonished by the accompanist's ability to make incredible sound in the postlude to "Muttertraum" on the Kawai grand. It was clear that this was no ordinary accompanist, and indeed at the break between the Schumann and Mahler songs, Hampson apologized for having also failed to supply the bio of his accompanist for the program. He introduced Wolfram Rieger, originally from Munich and now teaching in Berlin, with whom he has collaborated for eleven years, and who has also collaborated with Brigitte Fassbaender and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, among others.
The juxtaposition of happiness with loss that had pervaded the Schumann song texts continued in the Mahler set. "Ablösung im Sommer" led the set, taken at a quick tempo. Hampson's diction and involvement with the song were fine, although I do have to say that the spots where the singer imitates the sound of the cuckoo is more effective in the soprano of, say, Lucia Popp. I would find it hard to imagine a more heartfelt and effective performance of "Ging' heut Morgen über's Feld" than the one that followed. In his introduction to this set, he had described how the songs of Mahler had resonated for him from his earliest experience with them as a young singer, and "have guided me through many times since". In singing this song he used a remarkable range of facial expression and vocal color to evoke first the joy of the external world and eventually the intense grief at the realization that the singer's emotional landscape will never match that of the beautiful spring day. This song was followed by "Aus! Aus!" and "Zu Strassburg auf der Schanz' ", (the latter introduced by Hampson as "one of the most beautiful songs Mahler wrote"), echoing the dark attitude toward war of Schumann's "Der Soldat".
Without intermission, Hampson then took a sip from a mug that he had stashed behind the piano, and invited the audience to stand up and turn around once to warm up, as the theater's noisy heating system had been turned off during the performance (something that will presumably be fixed by the renovation). He then spoke of how he had begun his 15-20 year-long study of American art songs searching for the American Schubert or Mahler, only to decide it was a waste of time to take that approach. Instead he sees this song literature as a forum in which Americans can look at ourselves, examining what it has been to become "America". In his view, the "quiet cultured thinking" of America's philosophers and poets, which these songs capture, is regrettably not as well known as some of the more commercial American products that have pervaded the world. He spoke with warmth and enthusiasm of his current project with the Library of Congress to bring some of the library's vast collection of American song before the public through his current recital tour. He mentioned Stephen Foster's project as wanting "to write the Thomas Moore ballads all over again" in an American context. and recounted the work of Arthur Farwell with the Wa-Wan press, which sought to make serious American music available to Americans. Despite the fact that much of this discussion was delivered between songs, without aid of the microphone, Hampson continued to sing beautifully a representative selection of the undeservedly obscure American art songs that he has championed for some years.
The section began with two rather dark texts about shipwreck: Charles Griffes' "An Old Song Re-sung" and Edward MacDowell's "The Sea". After these we heard "Grief", by the African-American composer William Grant Still, which ends with the exhortation to the weeping angel to "raise your head from your hands" to see "the white dove, Promise." In this last song in particular, the magic in the accompaniment was matched at the end by that of the pianissimo in the voice. This song was followed by Arthur Farwell's "The old man's love song", based upon an Omaha Indian melody. In John Duke's setting of "Richard Corey," Hampson at first returned us to the mundane world in which the title character moved, the accompaniment's illustration of how he "glittered when he walked" so apt as to prompt giggles from the audience, until the final line when he "put a bullet through his head." The next song on the program had clear relevance to the occasion, as Hampson evoked his early memories of excitement at hearing music in the very theater in which we sat by singing "Memories", by Charles Ives. The first section was taken so quickly that at first the singer and accompanist seemed to race against each other, but it had settled into a dead heat by the time Hampson gave a robust performance of the whistled sections, and ended when the accompanist announced "Curtain!", at which point they shifted to the "rather sad" memories of a bygone era and family member. We returned to the world of ships and the water in the final two programmed songs, first an arrangement by Stephen White of the folk song "Shenandoah" with a majestic accompaniment that was matched by Hampson's full heroic voice in the first verse and the tenderest of pianissimo in the "I love your daughter" verse, which was sustained through the end of the piece, at which point the accompanist launched immediately into Aaron Copland's energetic "Boatman's Dance." In the master class that Hampson gave the following day, he repudiated critics' use of the term "vocal coloring", saying that singers do not have "a crayon box for color", but rather that if the singer is truly expressing the emotion of the song, the sound quality will vary accordingly. Well, whatever accounts for it, there was throughout this recital a satisfying spectrum of sound, providing sufficient sonic variety and surprise to create in the audience a range of emotion beyond that which was clearly already there in welcoming a favorite son who had achieved international stardom back into the historic theater where he had first been inspired by live classical music performed by the Spokane Symphony.
Prolonged standing applause followed the conclusion of the Copland, and there were several encores. In the first, Hampson invited the audience to sing along, and when we realized he was singing Stephen Foster's "Beautiful Dreamer" many of us did join as he conducted us, but we gradually dropped out, as most of us acknowledged it was in fact Hampson we had all paid to hear, and by the second verse it was likely that no one knew the words anyway. His second encore was given in response to a request, "Roses of Picardy", by Haydn Wood. The third encore, "Don't Fence Me In," was a tip of the hat to another local celebrity, Bing Crosby, and Hampson's personality, never retiring, opened up still further with an appropriate cowboy accent and walk. In the final encore, Cole Porter's "I Concentrate on You", apparently dedicated to the audience as representative of a treasured community in which this international star has his roots and sees the values expressed in American song, it began to be evident that the animated talking in the underheated auditorium was starting to take its toll on his lowest notes, and this time he allowed the stage hand to continue to raise the hand-painted original fire curtain that had served as backdrop, as he and Wolfram Rieger bid us good night and retired behind it.
