...Macbeth. But Greer's conjecture, founded on careful research, probably contains more truth than the commonly accepted prejudice does. The poet of marriage may very well have understood what his wife endured, and her devotion to him: "In his plays women are shown time and time again to be constant in love through months and years of separation," Greer writes. Anne "may have been the model." By giving Shakespeare's wife a voice and rescuing her from caricature, Greer achieves that for which all Shakespearean scholars strive: she brings us closer to the Bard himself...
...with the strings. It is the final rehearsal of Shostakovich's Symphony No. 10, and Dudamel wants the violins to be more biting and caustic. Any successful performance of Shostakovich's 10th must reflect its historical context: Stalin's purges; some 20 million dead; a composer who lived in constant fear of the knock on the door.

It can be notoriously unstable and is prone to causing breakdown of soft tissues, as constant rubbing leads to pain and infection...
...Most religious readers will reject that explanation, along with any that makes her the author of her own misery - or even defines it as true misery. Martin, responding to the torch-song image of Teresa, counterproposes her as the heroically constant spouse.

And you will never experience her love again. It's like loving and caring for a person for 50 years and once...
...loath to share their proprietary technology. Nokia phones are particularly hard to crack, Harrington says. In the U.S. alone there are over 2,000 models of phones - and even within one model line there may be a dozen phones using different codes for each function. "We are in a constant state of catch-up - a company rolls out new models every three to six months," Mislan says. The Holy Grail for the cell phone code breakers is to develop a forensics tool - a "Swiss Army knife" as Harrington calls it -that can be used easily in the field...
