Yeah, I'm trying to parse whether it's a "MIL specifically is batshit insane and has conditioned her family to accept it" thing more than a "generational/cultural values" thing. 

But ultimately, who cares, those values suck, my grandmother was annoying as shit, and OP should not under any circumstances feel obligated to kowtow to them at the cost of her, her husband's, and her baby's well-being.Claudia Pinza Bozzolla, the only child of the great bass Ezio Pinza to follow him into opera, died in Pittsburgh on Thursday.
Growing up in Italy after her parents’ marriage broke down, she made her Scala debut at 18 and progressed to the Met, where her father had sung for 20 years. They managed to appear together in Faust at San Francisco Opera before he moved on to a second career in stage musicals.
Claudia set up as a voice teacher in Pittsburgh, where her star pupil was Vivica Genaux.
This factoid from an obituary has gone world wide, and seems to me to be a misreading of a reference online, an article detailing 20th century Monteverdi performance to an appearance at Cremona’s Teatro Ponchielli as La Musica in L’ORFEO opposite Fedora Barbieri. (The *next* entry deals with the Piccola Scala). A colleague states that there is no mention of Ms. Pinza in the Scala Archives at all.
With San Francisco Opera she also sang Elvira to her father’s Giovanni, very much in the Garcia family spirit.The highly anticipated Deer Management Strategy is becoming visible in Oak Bay today with the distribution (through this edition of the Oak Bay News) of two CRD brochures.
These brochures outline several ways residents can live with deer, as well as how to discourage them from settling in residential areas.
Although we love the beautiful creatures and many of us enjoy watching wildlife up-close, we must remember at all times that these are wild animals who will respond to threats we don’t see and who will act unpredictably – potentially endangering human lives.
Dealing with the increased deer population is not an easy task and Oak Bay council must be commended for taking a stand on the issue and for making a decision to increase fines for feeding deer, as well as providing added information to residents through distribution of these brochures.
Council states it will continue to listen to resident’s opinions and re-evaluate its deer mitigation measures as it proceeds to implement the plan.
This plan, as we all know, also includes culling up to 25 deer.
Opposition to the cull has been expressed in our Letters to the Editor frequently, along with many roadside demonstrations, gatherings at municipal hall and information distributed through DeerSafe Victoria, Friends of Animals, The Association for the Protection of Fur Bearing Animals, the BC SPCA and others.
While the cull is not expected to take place until the fall, even that will not make the problem go away, should it occur.
At this point it is obvious we will be living with deer for the foreseeable future, therefore we must learn to be wary of them and conscientious of the fact they may be at the roadside nibbling shrubs or bounding across the street in front of us at any time. Safety is the reason council has embarked on this program, but residents must participate to make it work.Reports say a ransom demand has been made. But not much is known about the details surrounding the kidnapping.
JOHANNESBURG – Jordan has formally asked South Africa for help following the kidnapping of two Jordanian businessmen in the country.
Jordan’s ministry of foreign affairs and expatriates says it’s following up on reports of the kidnapping. The identities of the father and son are not known.
The ministry says its operations center and the Jordanian embassy in Pretoria have been closely monitoring the latest developments.
The embassy has asked this country’s International Relations Department to promptly search for men and to secure their freedom as soon as possible.
The Jordanian ministry says it has formed a crisis task force that is working around the clock to deal with the incident.

As we all know by now; The Expendables 3 tanked at the box-office. Why? Probably a mix of everything. Franchise fatigue (Part 2 had already taken in less at the box-office than Part 1), the PG-13 which alienated some of the core audience (who decided to wait for the unrated Blu-Ray) and the internet leak which most likely nixed out lots of the young demographic they were trying to nab in theaters - the kids downloaded it and saw it for free. Just my theory. Now I'm very much aware that unless EX3 KILLS IT overseas and via its home release - it may mark the end of the franchise (sniffles). But hey; I didn't hear no bell! The fight ain't over till it's over!
