Verdi - La Traviata
This superb 2006 production of the Los Angeles Opera's La Traviata stars Renée Fleming, who joins the ranks of the elite handful of sopranos whose vocal and acting talents make their portrayals memorable. Her Violetta Valéry is a vulnerable figure torn between self-indulgence and love, sacrificing personal happiness to become a victim of the social mores of mid-19th-century bourgeois France. Fleming's acting captures the complexity of the character and her vocalism is flawless. She negotiates the wild coloratura of Act One with aplomb, and is stunning in the lyric passages that pervade the opera, and touching in her scenes with her lover, Alfredo, and his father. Her singing is free of the mannerisms that have sometimes crept into her work and at the same time she brings countless personal touches to the role, phrasing and verbal emphases that shed fresh light on the character. Fleming is a great Violetta, and this DVD proves it.

She negotiates the wild coloratura of Act One with aplomb, and is stunning in the lyric passages that pervade the opera, and touching in her scenes with her lover, Alfredo, and his father. Her singing is free of the mannerisms that have sometimes crept into her work and at the same time she brings countless personal touches to the role, phrasing and verbal emphases that shed fresh light on the character. Fleming is a great Violetta, and this DVD proves it.She's blessed with Rolando Villazón as Alfredo. He brings fiery passion to the role of the impetuous lover, convincing in his anger at what he thinks is her betrayal, and in his regrets in their last-act deathbed reconciliation. His singing is on par with his acting, the voice ringing in climaxes, scaled down to sweet lyricism in the love scenes, husky, almost baritone-like in the more overtly dramatic scenes. As his father, Giorgio Germont, the veteran baritone Renato Bruson tends to mistake stiffness for authority and he's on the dry side vocally, lacking the colors that can make Germont's four-square arias interesting. The smaller parts are capably done and conductor James Conlon leads a thrilling, performance, shaping phrases idiomatically.
Stage director Marta Domingo's direction is firmly traditional, with sets and costumes by Giovanni Agostinucci that reflect the period. The first-act party scene in which we are introduced to the characters is imaginatively moved to the terrace of Violetta's house where the greenery, tables, and openness lend a fresh perspective to an opera that grows increasingly darker. By contrast, Flora's party, where Alfredo denounces the hapless Violetta, is draped in the red of demi-monde Paris. The big stage, so useful in the rest of the opera, tends to be too big for the intimate last act. Surely Violetta, down to her last 10 sous, should be in a more humble abode. The opening of this act also finds the only trace of directorial heavy-handedness. We all know the consumptive Violetta dies at the end, but Domingo places Fleming on a bier-like bed during the prelude and introduces a black-clad figure of Death who swoops into the scene. Fortunately, the rest of the act is free of such meaningless indulgences. Bryan Large's video direction is excellent too, always focused where it should be and without the excessive tight close-ups that distract from the singers by showing their tonsils. --Dan Davis

Letters from Sinners & Strangers
It's hard to tell where the traditional ends and the original begins in the music of Eilen Jewell, a sweet-voiced young singer who steeps her material in the hard times of old, reviving the stories and musical styles of the Depression. On her own "Rich Man's World," she casts herself as a "lonely rambler girl" while conjuring comparisons with Gillian Welch. Another original, "In the End," sounds uncannily like Lucinda Williams, while a revival of Eric Andersen's train-hopping "Dusty Boxcar Wall" and the double-entendre blues of the traditional "If You Catch Me Stealing" reinforce the sense of Jewell as a musical throwback to a time before she was born. Yet there are timeless pleasures here as well: a bittersweet reading of Charlie Rich's "Thanks a Lot," an understated, harmony-laden rendition of Bob Dylan's "Walking Down the Line," the sultry cantina twang of her original "Too Hot to Sleep." When the musical arrangements aren't generic Hot Club and the songs seem more like role-playing, Jewell sounds like a singer with enough promise to develop her own identity. --Don McLeese

Open Question: Employee on a Personal Leave?
An employee of ours has been out on a personal leave since about a month ago. We offer our employees all federal and state mandated leaves, however we are not required to provide them with personal leave (up to 30days). Our company did however grant him a couple of weeks because he had to go to his country to visit his ill mother. We didn't actually have him sign any form because he called to advice us that he had to jump on a plane and gone to his country. We could have denied his request but we didn't because we know emergencies do arise, its been almost a month and the employee has only called once to tell us that he cannot find a plane since they are pretty much booked. Can we let him go or send him a letter home to advice him that he can loose his job if he does not come within the month(will be a month on the 15th). What can we do? Please advice???

Open Question: I'm a U.S citizen living in Japan, but I'd like to go to college in America?
I still have about a year left before graduating, but I seriously need to start thinking now.
Anyway, as I have previously stated, I'm a U.S citizen currently attending high school in Japan (as a junor. Moved here when I was a freshman). And it's none of those 'International Schools' where it's filled with people from all across the world- it's a regular Japanese school with basically only Japanese people.
And I would do anything to get out of this country and be back on home grounds, so I'm most likely going to college in the U.S.
...Washington seems lovely :D
The problem, is that I have absolutely no idea how to choose... a college... or anything. I have absolutely no idea what I want to study. Even more then that, we don't have SATs or any of those tests and letters of recommendations would all be in a foreign language. It doesn't help that my grades have been low ever since I got here because I don't understand the language that much :/ So I guess you can say that I stopped learning when I came to high school.
Oh my god. That's horrible. Now I'm starting to think that it's impossible for me to get in anywhere D:< D:< D:< D:< D:<
Teachers employed at my school are of no use. Hell, the whole Board of Education works differently and is pretty messed up right now D: No one in my family has ever been to college so they're not helping either.
I only have the internet to rely on. Like a lot of people, I'd say.
Well, that's the end of my b*tching. Haha.
So finally, my question is: how? How does all of this work? Though I'll probably email a college somewhere soon about all this, I'd just like to know what all of you knew. Any little advice helps. A lot.
I wouldn't mind begging on my knees right about now D;
(And I just realized that I've typed kind of a lot, so sorry about that and thanks for reading. And I'm making you read more by typing this. So I'll shut up now.)
