There are so many operas I've never heard, but I'm partial to those of Mozart and Wagner (mainly the Ring Tetrology), if that pairing isn't a contradiction.

Idomeneo, Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail, Le Nozze de Figaro, Don Giovanni, Cosi fan Tutte, La Clemenza di Titto, Die Zauberflote.

AVG 8 is the latest version. It's been out a few months and works fine. In case you have AVG questions, there's a great user forum at http://freeforum.avg.com/index.php?0

I use AVG and Spybot, plus two others shown to me by a computer professional.

BO Clean, from Comodo, is a great free anti ...

The victims are the ones to whom the artist is attracted. If there are caucasian victims, that says something about the sexual tastes of the artist. The greater the pain inflicted, the greater the passion.

Glad you're enjoying!

There's plenty of homoerotic Japanese art, and some of that focuses on sadomasochism and castration. Another outstanding artist of this sort is Gengoroh Tagame -

I always took Meadow as she takes herself - a daughter who loves her family, even knowing they're criminals. I find nothing surprising in that.

Why wait for the The Wire? You can rent it from Netflix or similar services, and then there's "pirate television." If you're willing to put up with a fuzzy picture and Chinese subtitles, you can get the shows for free and at once.

I'm "dead or moving toward being dead." So is everyone I know. But I ...

I haven't owned a TV for over 30 years, but have started watching the best shows on DVD. I recently completed The Sopranos, and can second your appreciation. The DVD experience is quite different from watching the original series, since the episodes are not separated by months or years. One does ...
