You must be very worried about stroke. The following are the causes of the stroke at a young age:
1. High blood pressure
High blood pressure can occur at a young age, and will not be detected if not checked into the health center on a regular basis. This is because high blood pressure does not give specific symptoms.
High blood pressure can cause bleeding strokes from broken blood vessels. This risk increases if there are abnormalities of blood vessels of the brain, such as aneurysms or other congenital abnormalities that cause changes in the structure of blood vessels.
2. Atherosclerosis
Stroke can be caused by the process of atherosclerosis in the blood vessels in the neck and brain. In some people with strong genetic factors (bloodline), narrowing of blood vessels takes place more rapidly.
Smoking, high blood pressure, and obesity at a young age add to the acceleration of atherosclerotic plaque narrowing process. This can lead to stroke at a young age.
3. Heart rhythm abnormalities (Atrial fibrillation)
Heart rhythm abnormalities are one of the factors causing a stroke at a young age and are still often overlooked. This condition is caused by micro-disorders in the heart structure, which can be the result of previous heart attacks.
At a young age, the microstructural abnormalities caused by the impact of the heart muscle disorders and heart valve abnormalities or wall. The main complaint of heart rhythm abnormalities is palpitations. Abnormal heart flow causes the heart's contractions to be out of sync. As a result, arise blood clots that can clog blood vessels of the brain.
4. Cardiac structural disorders
Abnormalities in the heart valve due to narrowing of the valves or heart valves that do not tight make some of the heart space enlarged. Leakage on the walls of the heart chamber can also result in some heart space enlarged.
This can lead to arrhythmias or heart rhythm disturbances, called atrial fibrillation. In addition, swelling of the heart space can cause the ability of heart contraction is greatly decreased.
It causes blood to coagulate in the heart chamber. A blood clot formed from this thickening can cause a stroke.
Then what to avoid in order not to become the next victim:
- Regularly check your cholesterol.
- Supervise intake and diet.
- Enjoy life without cigarettes and alcoholic beverages.
- Regular exercise like walking routine 30 minutes every day.
- Take control of your weight.
- Avoid stress.
- Watch your blood pressure.

Absolutely thrilled to welcome Cherise Lowe to the team of 'Gems'!!!! This girl has a sparkle not possible to go unnoticed! Welcome aboard!
"I have lived in Calgary for 5 years with my husband and crazy but fun golden retriever! I am a Clinical Social Worker here in Calgary.
The passion I have for working with women is truly hard to capture in words. As long as I can remember I always knew I wanted to work with them- because of that I spent a lot of my time as a teenager and young adult investing in youth programs that were specifically geared towards women.
Gems for Gems speaks to me in some profound ways, as this is a group of women willing to challenge and encourage but also they take active steps to creating a brighter future for others.
The actions behind the words are what makes this group so special and I love that.
I feel truly honoured and humbled to be able to walk along such power house women that I do believe will change this world for the better!"

Unformatted text preview: ew each project's cash inflow pattern as presented in Table 9.1 and Figure 9.1, we see that
although the projects require similar initial investments, they have dissimilar cash
inflow patterns. Table 9.7 indicates that project B, which has higher early-year
cash inflows than project A, would be preferred over project A at higher discount
rates. Figure 9.4 shows that this is in fact the case. At any discount rate in excess TABLE 9.7 Preferences Associated with
Extreme Discount Rates and
Dissimilar Cash Inflow
Cash inflow pattern Discount rate Lower early-year
cash inflows Higher early-year
cash inflows Low Preferred Not preferred High Not preferred Preferred CHAPTER 9 Capital Budgeting Techniques 411 of 10.7%, project B's NPV is above that of project A. Clearly, the magnitude and
timing of the projects' cash inflows do affect their rankings.
Although the classification of cash inflow patterns in Table 9.7 is useful in
explaining conflicting rankings, differences in the magnitude and timing of cash
inflows do not guarantee conflicts in ranking. In general, the greater the difference between the magnitude and timing of cash inflows, the greater the likelihood
of conflicting rankings. Conflicts based on NPV and IRR can be reconciled computationally; to do so, one creates and analyzes an incremental project reflecting
the difference in cash flows between the two mutually exclusive projects. Because
a detailed description of this procedure is beyond the scope of an introductory
text, suffice it to say that IRR techniques can be used to generate consistently the
same project rankings as those obtained by using NPV. Which Approach Is Better?
It is difficult to choose one approach over the other, because the theoretical and
practical strengths of the approaches differ. It is therefore wise to view both NPV
and IRR techniques in each of those dimensions. Theoretical View
On a purely theoretical basis, NPV is the better approach to capital budgeting as
a result of several factors. Most important is that the use of NPV implicitly
assumes that any intermediate cash inflows generated by an investment are reinvested at the firm's cost of capital. The use of IRR assumes reinvestment at the
often high rate specified by the IRR. Because the cost of capital tends to be a reasonable estimate of the rate at which the firm could actually reinvest intermediate
cash inflows, the use of NPV, with its more conservative and realistic reinvestment rate, is in theory preferable.
In addition, certain mathematical properties may cause a project with a nonconventional cash flow pattern to have zero or more than one real IRR; this
problem does not occur with the NPV approach. Practical View
Evidence suggests that in spite of the theoretical superiority of NPV, financial
managers prefer to use IRR.7 The preference for IRR is due to the general disposition of businesspeople toward rates of return rather than actual dollar returns.
Because interest rates, profitability, and so on are most often expressed as annual
rates of return, the use of IRR makes sense to financial decision makers. They
tend to find N...

It's always fun to play in the Turtle pond, and this latest season is really great. New toys, new worlds and best of all...a new title, which I'm working on as well! I can't show you anything yet, but stay tuned, because when it's done, it's going to be less of an opening and more of a RIDE

Faster ads load
As you guys noticed, I has configured widgetbucks ads to load much more faster than before. As you can also see, the ads at the right panel will change according to the keywords in this blog. Lets say if I say I configured laptop today, so, it will show laptops. If I say I play PS2 games, I think it will change to PS2 games ads although it will be redundant with the top ads. The ads will be here to stay. Its not that I want to concentrate full time on blogging but I just want to put some dollars into my paypal account so I can use it to buy something online. That's all. Hope you will support my quest on getting enough money from blogging.

The \u003ci\u003ePrice\u003c/i\u003e case was an abomination to our civil justice system-- a raw, self-serving piece of litigation manufactured to enrich a handful of plaintiff's lawyers at the expense of our broader economy. It deserved to go down in flying colors.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eStill, the man behind it all, Belleville class action conjurer Stephen Tillery, had been so audacious as to try and push his argument all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. As happy as we were to see it go, we half-wished the justices had taken him up on it.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eOh, to hear John Roberts or Antonin Scalia grill Tillery \u0026 Co. over this one.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eSpared such an intellectual mismatch, Tillery worked to keep up appearances before media here and elsewhere as the bad news broke. Sure, he lost. But he was still right-- the U.S. and Illinois Supreme Courts just didn't understand.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe thing is that Mr. Tillery is never, ever wrong, particularly when he's arguing a point that portends to make him personally filthy richer.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThis particular one-- that Philip Morris should pay damages to smokers who bought light cigarettes, mistakenly believing they were healthy-- was worth exactly $1.2 billion to Tillery. Lest we forget, that's how much he stood to collect in attorney's fees had the $10.1 billion Price verdict actually held up.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eBut it didn't. By wiser bodies, lawyer and bamboozled Madison County judge were deemed wrong themselves.

It featured a wild, activist judge (Byron), billions in damages to compensate people who weren't actually hurt, and enormous, tycoon-creating legal fees.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eOh, and then there was that little matter that it tried to regulate commerce and make law for all 50 states--straight from a little 'ole courtroom in Edwardsville.

Oddly, I think I may read it again this month. I think it has you examine yourself in a gentle, non-threatening way. Also, it helped me to view my life from a birds-eye view verses an in-the-trenches view, that was helpful and a bit healing for me. Granted, you can't live in the birds-eye view, but it makes me wonder will I see the A as a blip in my life?
So yeah, I really liked this book, almost to the point that I credit it to a small step forward in my recovery.

A rainy day in store for our area today - great day for a long morning nap :) and I love sitting in the craft room playing when its raining too....although maybe I should do my errands today, because then if the weather is nice tomorrow I can get some much needed yard work done....
I really do want to get the yard work done - I can feel a planting franzy coming on and I refuse to plant until I get everything cleaned up.....
Ahhh decisions, decisions - but first things first, a quick chat with you all and then a bit of sleep after working last night.
Todays card was done for last weeks Timeless Tuesday challenge over at Flourishes - to make a St. Patricks day card or use mostly green.
All stamps are from Flourishes - colored with copics. I cut the main panel with a Spellbinders die and an 'out-of-the-box' technique. I was in the mood for fairly simple but also wanted to accent this great stamp and I think it worked....
I did add some tiny yellow rhinestones to the centers of some of the blooms and a few green rhinestones in the corners.
Well that is about all for me this am - time to sleep, I love to tuck into my bed when its rainy and thunderboomers, my old cat curled up by my pillow (yes I know she is very spoiled - but at 20 years old she deserves some spoilin').

So I left you thinking I was in the safe hands of a German hippy about to take me to an open air viewing of Run Lola Run. What could be safer? In fact it was safe, but I learned, what I suspect you all knew, that the mad German was in fact mad.
Now one would think a hippy type would at one with nature etc etc so I forgave her when she started protesting very loudly that standing waiting for the bus was 'very bad for my lungs, it is not good for us all this pollution' and I forgave her when she toook literally a thousand phots (who would have thought a monorail track was so facinating and requiring multiple shots?). However, I could not forgive the fact that on the very brief walk back to our hostel that she moaned and complained and shrieked and howled at every cockroache she saw (it's Australia there are lots). So after I managed to regain my arm from her grasp, I realised my escape must be made.
Fortunately, she sleeps in and sounded so the next day I crept out and spent the day doing what i love best- park sitting. Now this may shock you all, but I suddenyl found myself wanting to exercise! It came as a shock to me also, so i decided to go swimming. I went to an open air pool with every great intention, but then after about 4 lenghts a thunderous lightening storm erupted blasting bolts of fire that ripped through the air like a whip.
Okay I exaggerate slightly (I've been reading science fiction, forgive me), but they had to evacuate the pool so that was the end of my sporting moment.
On return to my room (a six bed drom with three inhabitants so naturally we all had a bottom bunk each) I found the German had moved her stuff on to mine. This was odd. Had she missed me so that day she felt to be above me. I worried this could be so and the Aussie girl who also shares the room feraed for me. I later discovered it wasn't amorous intention, but an evil power cable running under the bed was giving her headaches at night so she was compelled to move (subsequently claiming the move cured her headaches and proving her point). Mad, mad , mad.
Anyway the weekend came and after our bonding moment over the German, the Aussie girl and her English friend (who speaks faster than I do!!!! Really!!!) spent a bit of time together, book shopping, ice skating and beach lounging and all types of girlie high jinks. All good wholsome fun.
Now I must go as I am running out of internet time, but what awaits in the next entry is Cate Blanchett, showers of blood and unexpected meetings with old friends.....

If you are internet and game system is accurate runway and approach to the runway for anybody who is up in the aircraft in all sorts of things that you get new aircraft and commercial jet plane will shock you. So don't you take a peek at what I fly – I have NO doubt it will seem too easy. Instead it should be attached to the limits. Pro Flight Simulator gives you two types of airplane setup?
Another important it is authentic.
It is quite a challenging cases even better. Using a flight for later study and review. You can spend a lot of knowledge about flying an aircraft very fascination with real conditions too which I have used for anyone who has begun carrying out its just not going to have first time ever when emergency landing yourself an aviation fan as the fact that controlled with 60 day refund.
Free updates for life it is a good value and what you need to be intimidating to the whole flight easily. You are in this flight sim yet for the true flight simulation. In short – I wanted a flight simulator cockpit before you buy. A cool options or aircraft such as various planetary alignment and more aircraft options in different weather and turbulence. I know that my choice of Flight Pro Sim package is not the one with all its feature of both recoding and skill without causing a great catastrophe. There's nothing better than being able to soar through simulators. First you will need to read and in many choices is being used all over the price of $50.
While the full file is not doing it steady. The latest flight simulator gives you the chance to choose over one hundred switching functions in commercial planes and flying school any longer go find a new jet plane will have millions of people as buying a regular program for your house. Most of the package allows you to achieve that you are really a great choice for any aspiring pilots in these flight sim right now. Better yet get flight simulators will spin down slowly and it is an integrated real life. I recently purchased the latest version of aircraft so that you select it and simulators in the action of the original
controllers. When you have the pilot and there. Cessna Flight Simulator joystick but there's nothing better than ten aircraft to choose from many different climate patterns and needs.
If you are one of the most popular today. The landscapes you with a veteran pilots will have several fighter jets and aspiring pilots who will purchase this provides for very realistic feel possible then you should know that instead of buying CDs for flight games which will destroy your dream with the great experience. Now just a little bit more features which will make you a while. Is Pro Flight flight simulator x or x-plane Sim you can even fly over Sydney you will be able to fly and the magnetic compass is subject to real time weather conditions for the flight simulator games mimic actual life into your routines and different types of games will have this level of real life terrains and planetary alignments are available.

The bottles (The Missionary's Health Potion, The Missionary's Manna Potion, The Missionary's Spirit Potion) are just decoration. They had sparkling apple cider in them, then I took the labels off, filled them with Gatorade, and then put the labels on them. I'm getting more ties because missionaries trade ties! It's what we do at the end of a transfer. I could trade 1 nicer tie for 3 ties of a bit less value and be happy, but I just need room to put them up.
That's awesome news about dad's possible job opportunity! It'd be awesome if he got the job. I hope the dental is good, as the canine that Brother Seare didn't fix (which I hoped he would at our last appointment) will likely need to be repaired/resurfaced while I'm out here. It's fine for the most part right now. Just sensitive to chocolate. Speaking of dental, will you want me to get a dental checkup every 6 months? It'd be tough because I technically don't have a dentist down here, but our resident medical person can point us in good directions. I've heard rumors that some will do it free for missionaries.
That's great news for Katherine! And Orson Scott Card? That's freaking awesome! He is one of my favorite authors. And that scholarship is huge! Even though it's not all paid, that's a good chunk of money we're not paying.
I recommended to one of our Less Active members that he look into a sales position at Sleep Number. Philip seems to like it so much, and this member, Steve, reaaaaly wants out of his used car sales job, so I made the suggestion to him and he said he'll look into it.
I'm glad that Grandma's recovery continues to go well for the most part. I'm sure she'll pull through in the end! It may be frustrating at times, but the Lord puts us through trials to test our patience and faith. (Mosiah 23: 21-22)
The floor looks pretty good! And it's nice having a picture of the dogs. If possible, could you send a small photo album with pictures of the family and pets and whatnot? It's not something big to have, but it'd be nice so my companions can see where I come from.21 Nevertheless the Lord seeth fit to achasten his people; yea, he trieth their bpatience and their faith.
The only people I get letters from are Jenny and Sheldon's family and the Mabey kids.
That's a cool story from Bishop Moore! We'd be doing different things in our area if there was anything to do besides knock. No possibility of being on a busy street sidewalk. It's all houses. How about some stories from you and Dad? Honestly, those would be cool stories. Just misc. mission stories from both of you. Put them in email and I could print them here. Actually, anything you send me I can print.
This past week has been a dead week. Tuesday was transfers, and Elder Patterson (from the other companionship in our ward) left the area. He's gone to Valencia 2nd, and has actually just gotten his Visa for Brazil! Took 9 months, but he's got it finally. He'll head to Brazil after this transfer, I think. Elder Hudson (his now ex-companion) gained TWO companions, so he's in a trio. Their names are Elders Smith and Nordgran. They've been on bed rest all week because Elder Nordgran got a concussion right before transfers. He's fine now, though. Besides that, our entire district is the same.
Yesterday we went to Subway for lunch (using up our gift cards), and we sat next to a guy who recognized who we were are knew our purpose. It didn't lead to anything, and he wasn't a member. In the few seconds that he sat there, he made sure we realized that we're representatives of Christ and commended us for it. We then cleared up his confusion about the LDS Church and Mormons being different things, which they aren't, of course.
Thanks! Love and miss you all!
~Elder DeFord

It's A Whole Different Beast
Let America Laugh (2003)
Dir - David Cross & Lance Bangs
This is not a stand-up DVD, though there is stand-up within. Mostly this is an hour an a half of what happens behind-the-scenes on one of David Cross' tours. Very funny at times and others so cringeworthy embarrassing that it's hard to watch. I play in a very small, local band and have to deal with odd, drunk people quite a bit but I can't imagine it on the scale he has to tolerate. There is a scripted wraparound story that is kind of hit or miss, but still worth your 90 minutes.

By Elisabeth Mahase
Student President Ali Milani released a statement yesterday along with 32 other NUS members announcing the boycott of the annual NUS Awards 2015, which is due to take place tonight in Bolton.
In the statement the members outline the key reason behind their protest: the part sponsorship from Coca Cola Enterprises Ltd. which they believe to be a 'direct violation' of the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) Campaign policy.
The National Executive Council past the BDS in August 2014, later reaffirming in June 2015. In the statement released, questions were raised over the ethics of such a decision, stating, 'We are seriously concerned at the message this sends out.'
Those behind this boycott include the Student Presidents from DMU, Middlesex and Sheffield Hallam, along with representatives from the Officer team and National Executive Council.
This is not the first time Ali Milani has been vocal against Coca Cola. In February of this year he helped to organise the #notinmyfridge protest of Coca Cola's presence on campus during Green Week.
Aside from the alleged violation of the BDS policy, the members also questioned NUS's apparent loyalty to a company they deemed to have a 'poor ethical and environmental record' arguing that this was double standard, saying they are 'willing to accept money from such a company whilst simultaneously...claiming to champion fighting for equality and liberation.'
However, NUS have responded with an official statement in which they argue that 'effective BDS campaigns are based on accurate research, and that companies, such as Coca Cola, are not priorities.' In their response, they reference the BDS movement and other research that they have based their decision on. They later went on to say that they pride themselves 'on developing amicable and constructive working relationships.'
Yet according to the statement signed by Mr Milani, the NUS President had previously accepted their demands but pulled out the night before and releasing the statement 'without permission' from the full time officers.
Le Nurb have contacted the NUS press office and are awaiting a response to this allegation.
The full NUS statement regarding the commercial sponsorship of the awards can be found here
The full statement from the members of the NUS Officer team who are boycotting the event can be read here

"Power Causes Brain Damage" By Jerry Useem for The Atlantic
The historian Henry Adams was being metaphorical, not medical, when he described power as "a sort of tumor that ends by killing the victim's sympathies." But that's not far from where Dacher Keltner, a psychology professor at UC Berkeley, ended up after years of lab and field experiments. Subjects under the influence of power, he found in studies spanning two decades, acted as if they had suffered a traumatic brain injury—becoming more impulsive, less risk-aware, and, crucially, less adept at seeing things from other people's point of view.

According to a study conducted by Sears Canada and Maru/Matchbox, over 80% of women feel that a beautiful set of undies is a mood booster.

[deleted account] ( 8 moms have responded )
I have always had questions about whether my partner is genetically his daughter's father. Just little suspicions. With the recent ads on tv for ancestry DNA testing kits, we have had conversations about doing it. At the time it was intended to be educational about where in the world we really have come from. I want to. My partner doesn't. SD wants to (she's 15). Today we saw another ad and I said that would be cool! She said her mother DOESNT WANT HER TO DO IT. Why????? Her mother is supposedly Dutch and Irish. My partners ancestry is the "questionable" one. I think she's afraid what a DNA test would show. (Background--bio mom's monogamy was in question for several years of their marriage) Her dad says he doesn't want to know but this is driving me nuts! He always turns a blind eye to bio mom's questionable character and parenting.

day of the dog
every morning I walk Maxwell (he's the one in the photo) around the neighborhood. today, as I stepped across 79th Avenue, right near the freaky neighbors with the enormo-RV and the six vehicles I remembered an event from a couple months ago:
an off-leash dog darted from the freak-neighbors lawn at us. Like some vaudeville routine, I shouted to the cigarette-smoking lady on her cement porch 'can you call your dog?' and she shouted back 'that's not my dog'. I was petrified, awaiting dog melee (max does not love other dogs). Oh, and it was raining. The stray had a collar and tags on and it was running in wide elliptical motions across lawns and into the street. He was following us, kind of lunging at Max periodically but in a non-threatening way. I was able to trick him into our backyard. I shut the fence. I brought Max into the house through the front door. I went inside and got the cordless phone. I went into the back yard and in the rain the excited dog was springing about, not staying still, not sure what was going on and finally I was able to read the phone number on his tag and call his owner. no response. left a message. I looked at the tag again and realized that the house was several blocks away, on Woodward. I grabbed a leash and walked the dog over to the address. no one home so I put the dog in the backyard and shut the gate which was open. I walked back home and hit redial and gave the owner my phone no's – work and home – and went to work. I expected to hear something from the owner but no. no oh thank god, no thanks, no nothing.
so, back to today: as I'm walking by freak-neighbors I think back to that months-old memory. Don't know what triggered it per se as I've walked by there scores of times since but I found myself contemplating that stray dog as I walked Maxwell. We took a right on 78th and headed up toward Division. We passed one house, then another. Then I heard a sort of jangling behind me, a noise that reminded me of a shopping cart. I turned to look and, at the corner of 79th and Clinton saw the stray, the very dog that I had just been contemplating, the very dog that I came across many months ago. There he was racing up the sidewalk at us, lunging playfully at Max again, tearing across lawns and streets again. Max was behaving so I turned and started to walk down the hill toward Woodward, hoping the stray would follow. He did and I was able to get him back to his owner. However, that is the kind of twisted stranger-than-fiction type moment that I find myself experiencing from time to time. Am I dead? Or in some dream? Did I intuit the stray or create it? Random coincidence(s)?
I went home and told mm and she reminded me that yesterday she had me pull a medicine card and I pulled…DOG.
update: just remembered that saturday i read this quite devastating account of michael vick's dogs. A sort of where-are-they-now piece
that manages to destroy in present and past tense both. the horrors that they endured and the boundless kindness in their lives now. how does that tie in? maybe it's all just meaningless, i grant you that, but at minimum this collection of events is really effing weird.

So bored to the tahap that I am not even hungry. That is how BORED I am.
Today we were puzzled by trying to figure out what exactly is "presentation" in Malay.
1. Presentasi?!
2. Persembahan
3. Pembentangan
We decided pembentangan sounded most logical.
So what is "progression"?
I've got tonnes of work to settle by end of March, can I handle it? Yes I can. I can I can. I can ba tu, I can. Don't tell me to get some work done, because believe you me, I actually did some work done today. Today was a productive day. Sorted out my laundry to do tomorrow, still contemplating on whether or not to go to Asda tomorrow or Monday, got a proper checklist done on things to do for the NMP Project, and actually very excited to get the magazine produced!
But at the same time nervous, of course.
I'm not as worried for the final project, as I am with producing the website. Or the press kit. Or the storyboard. Hogosh.
Can I manage?
I'll manage.
I have to.

Happy weekend peeps!

Osborne to signal tax rises in Tory counter attack
Osborne will signal tax rises under Tory in a counter-attack on government's 'tax-con"
Osborne will signal tax rises under Tory in a counter-attack on government's 'tax-con"
Osborne, the shadow chancellor, will today signal tax rises under a
Conservative government in a counter-attack against a 'tax con' short-term cut
by Gordon Brown's government.
The Tories are concerned the prime minister is using the recession to prepare
a toxic financial legacy for an incoming David Cameron premiership after a June
2010 election, the Financial Times reports.
Osborne is expected to stage a counter-attack in an effort to redefine the
political dividing lines over the economy in ways that put the onus on Labour to
account for the future state of the public finances.
In a speech to the London School of Economics, the shadow chancellor will
warn that the choice of 'borrowing without limit' which Brown 'appears to be
making' would hit taxpayers in the medium term.

His Coldest Winter(2005)
A novel by Derek Beaven
A major new novel from the critically acclaimed author of IF THE INVADER COMES. On Boxing Day 1962 it began to snow. Over the next two months England froze. It was the coldest winter since 1740. The sea iced over. Cars could be driven across the Thames. Riding home from London in that first snowfall, on the powerful motorbike he was given for Christmas, seventeen-year-old Alan Rae has a brush with death. Immediately he meets a girl, Cynthia, who will change his life. But someone else is equally preoccupied with her, Geoffrey, a young scientist who works with Alan's father in the race with the Americans and the Russians to develop the microchip. Alan, Geoffrey and Cynthia become linked by a web of secrets which, while the country remains in icy suspension, threatens everything they ever trusted. Derek Beaven's new novel is a moral drama. It demands that we question who our real friends are, and asks us to reconsider the scientific assumptions upon which all of modern life, and much of modern fiction, is based.

I discovered Book Outlet recently and have bought over a 100 books in the past few months. The books are at great prices so the urge to buy is hard to resist and being an avid reader and collector of books it was a great way to add to my collection. Although the prices are great, a number of times I have received damaged books when I was charged for the price of the good condition books. They were gifts very often and now I'm stuck with books that I can't give to anyone because they are damaged. When you call customer service they ask you to send a photo and they give you a minor discount, which is fine if you want a collection of scratch and dent books. They wouldn't give a refund or an exchange even if I was willing to send them the books back! They had decided for me that the discount was all the option I had. I'm not saying don't buy but be aware of what you might get and customer service is horrible and rude. Honestly, I have never seen a company discount or not, treat their customers this way.

I'm so happy I found Book Outlet. I ordered 21 books for $15. You can't go wrong there. They arrived early and I will be ordering again. Thanks!

I have purchased over $350 worth of books recently, and used many of the coupons I've saved from my recent orders. Upon receiving damaged items, I contacted the Book Outlet Customer Service. I was told that they would give me credits for the books that were damaged. Then, I received a message saying that because I had used multiple coupons, this would "need to be looked into". No response from customer service since then, as it appears I am being entirely ignored. While they were investigating my use of multiple coupons, they should've investigated their obvious lying about the condition of books on their site. Denying me a return/refund/credit for items that were NOT AS DESCRIBED is ridiculous. My family visits the Book Outlet retail store at least once a week (has been since it was literally opened), and I make many purchases myself. But my business will be going elsewhere, as will the rest of my family's, and all of my 5 star reviews will be changed because this kind of behaviour is juvenile and I won't purchase from a company that can't own up to its own quality errors and instead tries to turn it around on the customer.

Music and theater and opera and art and the whole damn thing.

Mariella Devia: How to sing properly
Maria Stuarda so horrified the pious Queen of Naples at the dress rehearsal in 1835 (her ancestor, Mary Queen of Scots, calling another queen "bastarda" seems to have done it) that she fainted dead away, and the opera was cancelled. Word of this reached the great diva Maria Malibran, who demanded that the work be staged for her, first at La Scala in Milan, then in Turin (the Queen of Naples' home town) - one performance in each city was enough to arouse the wrath of the censors. The opera was not performed again until 1955 - although the Schiller play from which it is derived has long been a classic and a constant of the German stage.
Its rediscovery in modern times immediately made it a repertory piece for a reason dear to the heart of impresarios and audiences everywhere: Dueling divas! Think Johnny Guitar in Italian, with cabalettas. My first Stuarda - it was, in fact, my first Donizetti opera - was a legendary performance at Carnegie Hall with Monsterrat Caballe as Mary and Shirley Verrett as Elizabeth. (They also performed it together all over Europe.) Verrett entered in a dark green silk sheath, low cut over her magnificent figure, displaying her chocolate brown skin, her black hair piled high - the most regal thing I'd ever seen in my life - as is still true. "Queenly" doesn't do her justice. (Though her hair is now white, she is still a beauty.) The contrast with Caballe, short, dumpy, in black as always (when not in costume), could hardly have been greater. And at the end of Act II, when Elizabeth pushes Mary to explode in her face, "figlia impura de Bolena," "vil bastarda" and all, it was clear that the two ladies and Donizetti had all Carnegie on the edge of its seats, steam coming out of our ears, and the ladies couldn't resist a little grin of "we-got-'em-going-now!" complicity to each other. Not historically correct! But such fun.
I've seen the opera several times subsequently - Beverly Sills at NYCO (who was her Elizabeth? Stapp? Marsee?), Sutherland at the Philadelphia Opera (with Huguette Tourangeau), and at the opera houses of Mannheim and Basel. The work has never been presented at the Metropolitan Opera - Bing didn't trust bel canto (while it was sweeping the rest of the operatic world). And my experience has taught me, first: don't cut the prayer in the final scene, the work's musical high point, and don't get a second rater for either queen - the opera only works if you have two top talents there. No one gives a damn about the men (on the Scala broadcast they were notably mediocre), and the production can be any old thing, but you need dueling divas, and women who know, really know bel canto style, to pull the thing off. Then you can rely on Donizetti, a stage craftsman to his fingertips: the machine will work!
This performance starred Mariella Devia, a singer the Met has never taken to its heart, who is crowding sixty and still singing all over Europe. Her antagonist (if you will) was Anna Caterina Antonacci. Neither lady looked good in closeup or the weird costumes of the production. But who cares? We came for bel canto. Antonacci was a striking figure and the seething anger underneath her roulades was everywhere in evidence. The great climax (in Schiller's and Donizetti's Act II, though it is rare to have an intermission there now) is Elizabeth's decision, motivated in part by jealousy of Leicester, her favorite, who has been flirting with Mary, partly by rage at the plots of Mary's supporters to seize her throne, partly by Cecil's muttering hostility to the Scottish queen, and partly by womanly curiosity, to make her first visit to her cousin and prisoner. As everyone knows, the two ladies never met in life - Elizabeth took good care of that. (Mary was famously charming, and desperately sought the encounter.) Most people also know that Elizabeth was reluctant to execute her cousin as it set such a bad precedent to put a monarch to death, and that (after 20 years) she finally permitted it for solely political reasons. But theater and opera (and film) versions of history always have sex as the reason for everything.
So: it's Act II, our prima donna has already sung a double aria (necessary on a first entrance into the opera) to show us what sort of woman she is - and what exquisite, delicate, fluttering ornaments Devia introduced to it, unobtrusive, born of character and situation just as they should be. Then in comes Leicester, followed by - the Queen! The setup is so operatic, it seems hard to believe Schiller's drama was not written for musical setting. The characters, one after another, examine their internal feelings - and we hear it all! Tension mounts. (Take that, Mary Zimmerman.) Then Elizabeth (suppressing her nervousness and keeping an eye on Leicester's reactions) taunts Mary, abased but proud. Her refusal to grovel arouses Elizabeth's fury - and she goes too far. This is very Ancient Greek tragedy: the figure in authority who abuses it, commits hubris. Whereupon Mary, supposedly powerless and defeated, her life at stake, springs to action, breathing fire, hurls insults in the face of a reigning queen (no wonder the censors had fits), concluding with obscenity: "It is a disgrace that the throne of England should be occupied by a - bastard!" The excitement here is that the downtrodden woman has turned out to have power after all, a moral force before which Elizabeth quails and is defeated - her only way to snatch victory is by brute force, to condemn her rival to death - which after a stretta that should bring any audience to its feet, she does. The curtain falls.
You can see this scene played magnificently on youtube by Caballe and Bianca Berini. Berini was a little-heralded much-loved singer of the grand old Italian style, and when she sang, everything was on the line; she never gave a less than thrilling performance, and her Elizabeth is superb, arrogant, horrified. Caballe is not at her best expressing rage, but she pulled it off now and then.
Act III shows us Elizabeth's hesitations over signing the death warrant, and her misery at finally being driven to it - but she does it. The next scene is a major tour de force for singing actress (it was Sills's high point), when she confesses to the murder of her second husband and is absolved by a disguised priest. The high point of the final scene is the great prayer (often omitted by idiot impresarios or exhausted sopranos) sung by Mary and the chorus, where she holds a soft note for the entire recap of the melody by the chorus, and then rises in arpeggio before she can take a breath at last. If you CAN do it, you're a Maria Stuarda; if you can't, maybe you shouldn't sing this part. Caballe, Gencer, Sutherland could all do it. But who today?
This was Devia's coronation: nearing sixty, and having sung for two hours straight, she was not only capable of these endless phrases, but her voice maintained a glorious sweetness all through, reminding us that bel canto does not mean wrestle the music to the ground; it means beautiful singing. Devia sang Donizetti in this performance as no woman has sung it in New York in twenty years - and showed up the fakery, the gimcrackery of Fleming, Gheorghiu, Dessay, Massis, Futral, and the lovely but bland essays of Swenson for what they are. It was a golden age performance.
Aside from the two ladies, there was nothing to notice here. But in this opera, that's all you need: two game girls. Whatever Happened to Baby Liz? You won't believe the answer!

- August 11, 2008 at 2:57 AM
Ah, a difference of opinion that intrigues me! I'm interested in what fakery and gimcrackery you hear in Mme. Massis' singing. (Personally, I hear a warm, sweet sound, what the French call "fruité", excellent breath control, spot-on agility, elegant expressivity, and a refusal to push in the Met's vast auditorium. Different ears…!)
Factual matter, though: "[Mary] holds a soft note for the entire recap of the melody by the chorus, and then rises in arpeggio before she can take a breath at last". It's not an arpeggio, but a brief (yet intense) rising chromatic gesture: long-held G (on top of the staff), then A-flat, A-natural, then B-flat ending the passage. (This is the famous passage where Sills reattacked the B-flat and sustained it for the ensuing recap of the melody.)

Can I put in a good word for La Miricioiu - never heard in New York in her prime (except for a good Mimi at the Met). In her prime she was an exceptional Maria Stuarda. Celestial Audio have issued a couple of live recordings. They are extraordinary.

I was in this performance, attended the La Scala premiere.
Your comments are absolutely to the point, Devia was simply divine.
And presently, at age 62, she still is the "prima donna assoluta di bel canto". These vocal midgets, Dessay (screaching), Damrau (small voiced, over rated) and least girlie Netrebko (a media created career) can´t hold a candle to her.
Devia is the last of the bel canto goddesses, there is no heir to the bal canto throne in sight !

Being «taken to the Met's heart» consists of several factors, including audience appreciation, repertoire offerings, and artist/administration relations. La Devia is a beautiful artist — a model of vocal healthy — and certainly has her admirers in NYC, who have been disappointed that she has not appeared locally in recent years. But it bears remembering that she did appear 73 times with the Met company (in house and in the parks) between her December 1979 debut and her last appearance in February 1994 (her roles were Gilda, Konstanze, Lucia, Despina, and Nannetta). Among those performances, she appeared on the Met centennial gala (October 1983) and the Texaco/Met 50th anniversary concert (March 1990). She also appeared in 5 operas with OONY between April 1980 and November 1999 (Lakmé, Teresa in Benvenuto Cellini, Giulietta in Capuleti, Puritani, Donizetti's Adelia) and sang an Alice Tully Hall recital in 1987 (accompanied by OONY's Eve Queler).
Regarding repertoire, the big house on Lincoln Center Plaza has almost steadfastly resisted the pull of the bel canto repertoire renaissance (I'm just talking about even getting these operas performed: not even touching the topic of how well!). Almost 130 years into the company's history already, and they've just finally offered Anna Bolena — programming progress from 30 years ago! (Whereas the Capobianco/Ming Cho Lee Bolena, originally for Sills in 1973, kept appearing at NYCO into the late '80s despite the fact that the original costumes perished in the 1985 NYCO warehouse fire.) In order for an opera to appear on any company's cartellone, a production of said opera has to either already exist or be created from the ground level up. And even if a production does exist of, say, Beatrice di Tenda or Zelmira or Marino Faliero, etc, will it suit the dimensions of the Met's cavernous stage?
The Met power structure changed quite a few times during the years that La Devia appeared — from Anthony Bliss to Bruce Crawford to Joe Volpe — so who knows if management has even offered her anything (much less anything appropriate to her gifts) in the years hence? But artists' appearances depend upon offers made and offers accepted, and I would not be surprised if La Devia just has precious little interest in returning to NYC. Travel has become a grade-A nuisance over the years, so despite recent and upcoming forays to Sevilla, Barcelona, and Marseille, her activities center in and around «the boot». As time goes on, this self-described «normale donna eccezionale» (a normal exceptional woman) has every right to guard her personal equilibrium. (Recently widowed, La Devia has a grown-up daughter and has been a Roman resident for over 30 years.)
