Hi Gary, can you tell us how you started out in the youth ranks at Watford?There was a scout in the north east called Norman Alder who worked for Graham Taylor when he was at Lincoln. When Graham moved on to Watford he took his scouting network with him and I was part of his next batch of players.
Norman had seen me play for my school team, and I also played for a boys team called Lampton Street Boys Club which Micky Smith and Mick Harford had both played for years before. There were five of us in total who came down. We got the Intercity Express from Newcastle into Kings Cross, and Tom Walley came and picked us up in the minibus and we spent a week or two weeks on trial.
It was a long way from home and I was only 11 or 12 then. Norman looked after us though, and he had been trusted by our parents to keep an eye on us all. But for five lads coming down to train with Watford for a week, we just saw it as a fantastic opportunity. It was brilliant.When you were working you way through, did you ever think that you might not make it?I impressed them in my first trial down there, so for the next three or four years I kept coming back in every school holiday. There were various other lads that came down as well and Gibbsy was in the same age group as me. In the end I signed schoolboy forms on my 14th birthday, and kept coming down from my home in Sunderland every holiday until I left school and became an apprentice.What can you remember about your first team debut?My official debut was at Molineux when we beat Wolves 5-0. I think Maurice Johnston got two or three that day. I came on for the last 10 or 15 minutes on the left wing. My full debut was away to Leicester at Filbert Street and we got thumped 4-1, with both Lineker and Smith scoring for Leicester. To make my full debut was fantastic but the result was awful. My parents had come down from Sunderland to watch it, but to be fair I was 17 years old and the game just flew by and I didn't really get too involved. I played wide left that day, so Barnesy must have been injured or being played through the middle or something. I didn't really like playing left wing but because of my age and my size, I was about nine stone dripping wet, it made sense to play me there rather than centre midfield which is what I preferred.What other players were you closest to as you broke in to the first team?There was five of us apprentices all coming through at about the same time. There was me, Gibbsy, a goalkeeper called Derek Williams who was also from Sunderland, Alex Dyer and a centre half called Pat Noonan. Pat was the only one to not go on and have any type of career in the game. Derek moved on to Reading before drifting out and ending up working for Barclays Bank. Gibbsy and Alex are both still involved in the professional game. We were the only apprentices at the time so we had all the jobs to do between us!Cleaning a lot of boots then!No, the only job we didn't do was clean other player's boots. Graham Taylor would not allow it. He believed that if you were a professional then you looked after your own boots. So we were left with sweeping out changing rooms, filling the kit skips, making sure the balls were clean...the only pairs of boots we had to clean were the gaffers and the staff. So there was John Barnes England international, cleaning his own boots! I could see the logic behind it though. They are the tools of your trade, you should look after them.Is it fair to say you enjoyed your time under Graham Taylor?Yes, it was fantastic. The one question people always used to ask me especially in Sunderland was, why Watford? The simple answer was that from me first coming down to the club on trial and every time I came back in the holidays after that, the club was always progressing. They were always looking for improvement and achieved it.
When I first came down I think we were in the third division but by the time I signed as an apprentice in '82 they were in the top flight. In fact my first full season at Watford was that first season in the top flight when they finished second only to Liverpool.
All I had seen was this club growing and growing and going up and up, where as my home town team were just up and down all the time. The biggest reason though is that they made me feel special and like they really wanted me, so it was a fairly easy decision really.How did you feel at the time when Dave Basset came in?
When Dave Bassett came in I was 21 years old and had only just established myself in the first team as a regular. At the time there was no sign that the club was going to struggle so basically I just got on with training and making sure I impressed the new manager. Apart from Barnsey leaving Dave inherited a good team, a team who was capable of finishing in the top half of the league.
Was there maybe a split in the camp with players Basset brought in and players that were already there?
Initially there wasn't a split but after a few games into the season and some of the players from the Taylor era were sold and replaced, and results weren't good, splits started to form. It was difficult for Harry because he had to follow the most successful manager in Watford's history and selling players like Kevin Richardson and Mark Falco had an effect on the dressing room when things started to go wrong.
Nigel Gibbs has told us that he had thoughts about making a transfer request at that time, did you get 'itchy feet' at all?Graham came in for me and wanted me to go up to Villa with him. Bassett told me about the bid, but also told me that he didn't want me to go as I was part of his plans at Watford. If I could turn the clock back I would have gone. Villa is and were a big club and I enjoyed working for Graham, but Bassett didn't want me to go.
Do I regret it now...no, because I still had a fantastic career and played a lot of games for Watford. I do wonder where I might have gone in the game had I gone to Villa. But ultimately I didn't have that choice as I Bassett didn't want me to leave.Would you say Graham Taylor is the best manager you have played under?Without a doubt. He was an unbelievable club manager, fantastic. He had his most successful as manager at Watford in that spell and it was great to be part of.Are there any particular games that stand out for you? We can think of one in particular!Ha! The Bolton game is the one most fondly remembered. But as well as that, I remember Arsenal in the cup quarter final, the semi against Spurs at Villa Park, which although turned into a disaster was a great occasion. We beat Spurs in the league 1-0 a few weeks later. Maybe with a full squad it may have been different, who knows? As for the Bolton game, what can I say?! 18 minutes left and losing 3-0 and playing an absolute stinker in the rain. We were that bad we may as well have stayed back in the changing room! I got the first one back, then the second and then Ken Charlery got the equalizer. I think Glenn Roeder was the manager at the time. And then I managed to score the last minute penalty to win the game.Nervous taking the penalty?No. I never was. I was the penalty taker, I had a job to do so I just did it. It was something I just did. We had already pulled it back to 3-3 from an impossible situation so even if I missed it would have been a point gained. The penalty was just the icing on the cake for me and for the team. For 72 minutes we were just not in it. When we got the first one back it gave us a bit of a lift, and then when the second went in we actually started believing we had a chance. The right back for Bolton that day was Phil Brown, the current Hull manager. I saw him back when he was Derby manager and he said to me then that he still couldn't believe it!Still got the ball?I have, it's in the garage but I made a big mistake. I got it signed by all the lads, but I didn't get the special coating you can get put on it to protect it so they have all faded now.I also remember another goal that was a bit special, away to Norwich.That goal took us into the last game against Leicester with a chance of staying up. We won 2-0 or 2-1, and gave us real hope. We were playing in the burgundy kit, which is about the only kit I never kept! Graham was back as manager by that game. I actually spoke to Graham about that goal a couple of years afterwards, and he told me that at the time when he saw me turn he was praying I wasn't going to shoot as he thought I was too far out but in the end he was pleased I did!Was long range shooting something you always had?I always had goals in my game, and when we were at Watford we were always encouraged to shoot when we could, albeit not ridiculously. Graham was a big one for stats and he would look at the number of crosses into the box, shots on target and everything else. Quite simply, you had to shoot to score was his idea so shoot a lot but get them on target. So we were confident to hit them from distance.Who had the better long range strike, you or Richard Johnson?Johnno's were more ferocious! We had a good little mix in midfield. I was left footed and couldn't kick with my right, and Johnno was the other way round. You would have to see who got the most goals though!

"The Vermont State Police have rejected a request to turn over copies of their police dispatching log for Easter weekend, when a then-state trooper is accused of assaulting two Windham County men in Wilmington who he thought had stolen his canoe.
The Burlington Free Press made the request two months after the Vermont Supreme Court ruled police logs are public except in limited circumstances. The state police's freedom of information officer, Heidi Storm, rejected releasing any of the logs, however, in a four-paragraph email sent Tuesday afternoon."

A recent controversy has arisen in a (either rape or sexual assault case – the news called it both – so that's their fault, not mine) where the word's "rape" and "assault" can't be used – so it's a "sex" case – the judge said that it would be an unfair trial for the alleged rapist. Well, how the HECK can you have a RAPE trial without using the word "rape."
The judge already called a mistrial because of all the publicity so we'll se where this goes.

As any woman in their 30s or early 40s who wants to have a baby will know, your fertility and your egg quality gradually starts to decline after about the age of 35. While you may have the best of intentions to conceive well before this happens, a busy life often gets in the way, and things don't always go to plan.
So what happens when you find yourself in your late 30s or early 40s, wanting to conceive? Is it too late? Have you run out of eggs? And if not, are your eggs too old?
For Natural Fertility specialists, the question isn't, 'Is it too late for you to conceive?' but rather, 'What can we do to support you to improve the quality of your eggs?' Our goal is to support women and couples by providing information and supplements to keep your eggs healthy.
Theories that egg quality is the major issue in age-related fertility decline is backed up by recent data showing that egg donation significantly improves fertility rates. Research also shows that your uterus can adequately sustain pregnancies even when your reproductive potential is artificially prolonged into your late 40s. (Navot)
The 'quality' of an egg refers to:
If an egg is of poor quality, it may either:
Science has given us some insights into why and how egg quality decreases as you age. If you stick with me for a few seconds, I'll give you a quick biology recap that will explain everything!
Our bodies are all made up of tiny little cells. Muscle cells, nerve cells, skin cells, brain cells, kidney cells … you get the picture. All the cells in your body contain mitochondria.
Mitochondria are your cells 'source of power – their 'batteries'. They provide your cells with the energy they need to function. Mitochondria provide your body with energy by converting the food you eat into a form of energy (known as ATP) that your cells can use.
Your egg cells (also known as oocytes) have far more mitochondria in them than any other cells in the body. Oocytes contain 10-100 times more mitochondria than high-energy requirement cells like muscles and nerves. (Bentov) This is because, after a sperm fertilizes your egg, a significant amount of energy is required for the cells to divide and to support the critical events that are required to form an embryo. (Chappel)
And the more energy, the better; in fact, studies have clearly shown there is a positive correlation between ATP levels in newly-formed embryos, and successful embryo development. (Chappel)
Recent research indicates that the decline in mitochondrial function in the egg cell may be responsible for this age-related decline in egg quality. (Bentov)
Thankfully, we have tools in our belt to be able to support your mitochondria to improve their functioning and therefore improve your egg quality. Remember how I said that mitochondria convert the food you eat into ATP? During this process it largely relies on Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a very important piece of the puzzle.
There is an age-related decline in CoQ10 (it is also blocked by cholesterol-lowering medication) and researchers have worked out that CoQ10 supplements can restore energy production in your cells. Studies on animals show that mice of advanced maternal age who are treated with CoQ10 have a significant increase in ovulated eggs after stimulation, as well as a significantly increased litter size. (Bentov) CoQ10 supplementation also decreases chromosomal abnormalities in embryos and increases pregnancy rate. (Hannam)
If you've done any research on egg quality, you'll have probably heard about CoQ10 supplements (also known as ubiquinone or ubiquinol) and you might even take it – so now you know why.
There are three important factors to consider when taking CoQ10 and other nutrients to improve fertility. 1. Can it help our case and condition(s). 2. Is it a high quality supplement? 3. Is it an appropriate/therapeutic dose? There is little point in taking the wrong supplement, a poor-quality supplement or the wrong dose; you will just be wasting your money.
Have a chat to your Naturopath, to ask about practitioner-grade supplements and the dose that is right for you and your individual situation.
There are a range of other nutrients that may also improve your egg quality, so please speak to your Natural Fertility specialist about what specific nutrients will be most beneficial for you.
Another Piece to the Puzzle: Oxidation
Oxidative stress (OS) is another piece of the egg quality puzzle. OS is the name for the damage caused to your cells when there are not enough antioxidants in your body to mop up excess free radicals. Scientists have found that OS can damage the egg cells in developing follicles.
Free radicals form naturally as part of the mitochondrial energy production process we spoke of before. Free radicals also come from external sources, such as drinking alcohol and coffee, smoking cigarettes, and exposure to environmental pollutants (Ruder) (air pollution, chemicals in cleaning products and personal care products, radiation from electronic devices, solar radiation from the sun, and so on). (Agarwal)
Antioxidants are nutrients such as Vitamin C & E, selenium and zinc (and CoQ10) and can be found in fruit, vegetables and wholefoods. Research into melatonin (another antioxidant) has found that it mops up OS damage and therefore improves egg quality and increases fertilization rates. (Tamura)
Research suggests that eating a varied diet (supplemented with multivitamins), limiting your consumption of caffeine and alcohol, and maintaining a healthy body weight may help improve your fertility. (Ruder)
What are your thoughts about these strategies to improve egg quality? What has been your experience? We'd love to hear from you.

i can imagine some, imagining mechanics isn't hard, translate them into game code is the tricky part.
For example Last boss athiss.
There is 2 ice tank in the room, you have to dps it, it doesn't blow in one shot, when it blows it create a patch of ice on the ground. If a boss or the player is too close when it blow, it is temporary frozen.
You have to kite fireball into the patch of ice, 1 patch can extinguish 4 balls. The fireball does not disapear otherwise
Since you have a limited amount of ice tank (2) and fireball don't disapear, you have to kill the boss by the time he summons the 3rd series of fireball.
You could also have the fireball leaving fire trail on the ground that never disapear, kiting path become important.
you could have the boss alternate fire and frost ball and have 2 tanks, one of frost, the other of fire.
you could have the patch of frost or fire on the ground last only 15 seconds so you can't blow it far in advance and you have to kite quicky and efficiently.
You could have the boss having a cast that prematurely blow the ice or fire tank, that need to be interupted or the fight will be very difficult.
Let see what we could do for last boss cademinu.
one thing i could see is that the rocket send wave of fire, non continue, with a few holes in it and you need not only not be under the rocket but also move to be in the hole of the wave (other wise instant death of course, or very nasty dot). that could be easy but can quickly become sport if you have 3 rocket firing, 3 wave of fire, from 3 different direction.
once a rocket has been fired, the ground is heated up, so walking on it does hurt a little, a small dot, but you have to heal it since you can't stay under the other rocket that firing.
Rocket keep on firing, and keep on sending wave, never stop until you do something. Click on a switch or shoot a barrel near the rocket.
Rocket firing become more and more frequent, as well as fire wave to avoid, thus making it a soft enrage.

Special Features
- Booklet with Foreword by Director Liliana Cavani and Essay by Film Critic Aaron Hillis
- Cannes Film Festival Press Conference Footage
Told in flashback, the film relates Francis of Assisi's evolution from rich man's son to religious humanitarian and eventually to full-fledged saint. Francesco was based on Hermann Hesse's Francis of Assisi, which director Liliana Cavani had previously filmed in 1966. The Saint and founder of the Franciscan Order of Friars Minor is played by Mickey Rourke, and his inspiration, the woman who later became Saint Clare, is played by Helena Bonham Carter. Raised as the pampered son of a merchant, Francis goes off to war only to return with a profound horror for the society which generated such suffering. In one scene, as an act of renunciation, he strips himself of his fine clothing in front of his father and leaves the house naked and barefoot, joining the lepers and beggars in the poor section of town. The film follows with a series of episodes from the saint's life rather than a coherent narrative, following up until his final days when he receives the stigmata, or wounds similar to those on the body of Jesus at the crucifixion. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Party Pick of the Week: Return to Babylon
Photo still from Return to Babylon
617 S. Olive St., dwntwn., Sun., Aug. 11, 4 p.m. (screening).
When it comes to the Roaring '20s dance party and silent movie screening going down at the Cicada Club Sunday night, we simply can't be silent! After all, the party should be anything but.
Return to Babylon, a contemporary take on pre-talkie flicks that's set in Old Hollywood, is close to becoming the stuff of Hollywood legend itself. Starring Jennifer Tilly, Maria Conchita Alonso, Tippi Hedren, Debi Mazar, Ione Skye and many more L.A.-based stars and scenesters as silent-film stars, the movie has been on a shelf somewhere for a few years now. It got some traction when it was featured on Biography channel's My Ghost Story (it was filmed in old L.A. locales rumored to be haunted, and paranormal activity apparently was caught on tape), but most have never seen the completed film. Now filmmaker Alex Monty Canawati is unveiling a new edit for all to see, and to celebrate.

So a couple of day ago, I saw this up on my friend Lisa's (Workout Mommy) Facebook page. Women's Health is having a little contest to be on their blogroll.
I do not read Women's Health. If it is anything like Men's Health, then it is about working out, sex tips, and "Eat This Not That" tips.I will say though, I get a lot out of Men's Health.
When I first saw the contest, I really did not like it. I do not think being on a blogroll should be a contest.
But……after really thinking about it, I realized it was a pretty cool idea.Plus, there are so many blogs out there, there can not be a blogroll with 1,000,000 blogs on it.
I got a really nice letter yesterday from a blogger named Kendra about the contest. I read her blog from time to time, and I enjoy it. Her email was very courageous, and she asked me if I would nominate her. Self-promotion can be a hard thing to do.
Of course I will nominate Kendra! I have no problem with that.
Then I thought about it, it stinks to nominate yourself for these types of contests. Knowing you have a good blog, yet maybe not out there like so many. This is where I have come up with "The Anti-Jared Will Nominate You" campaign.
Very simple…… Go on my Facebook page and under the link for this post, put your name and blog address, and I will nominate you.
No questions asked, no strings attached.
Uhhh, you and your stupid Facebook! No!
Ok…….well, then if you do not have Facebook or do not want to "like" me, then go on Twitter and put your blog address and your name in front of @theantijared so I see it, or use #TAJnominatesWH on your tweet.
I hate social media though! Any other way?
You could email me. My email address is on the top of my blog. Just email me your blog address and your name, and I will nominate you.
I do not want to email you. Can you open your comments?
No, I will not open my comments. But, you can comment on Jack Sh*t's blog, because he is on vacation. Just leave a comment on this post with your blog address and name, and I will nominate you.
What is Jack's address?
Just do this. Go outside and yell your address. Real loud! I will nominate you.
Maybe, but I want to nominate as many as I can. I have already nominated 30 blogs. I would love to nominate 100 more.
I think it would be great to have people from our community on the blogroll.
Give me your name and address!

Oh no!!!! It's now gone!!!!
Oh well time to cane the plastic once more
You havenât received it yet, itâs been delayed by about 6 months
Mine's not there. Do you have to apply for it in your first year?
Or is it because I haven't finished basic yet?
You've got some fun ahead of you, trying to get the paperwork sorted, welcome to the wonderful world of Bounty payments.
Mine's in. £1560 moved to the wedding account. Army Account now reads as £5.47 again.

NOFX, Black Carl, First Friday of the Year and More
Fat Mike (NOFX)
Photo by Melissa Fossum
NOFX at The Marquee Theatre, 1/7/12
Fat Mike painted a grim picture of Arizona a couple weeks ago. He was convinced that nobody goes to shows in Phoenix anymore because it's on its way to becoming the next Detroit.
Sure, we've got our issues, but NOFX fans surprised everyone (myself included) by selling out the Marquee Theatre Saturday night, and it wasn't a crowd full of floor starers, everyone seemed to be having a great time. See the full review from Saturday night's NOFX show.

The lead singer of Black Carl and her four-piece backing band obliterated Crescent Ballroom Saturday night as they celebrated the release The Fool - the fourth and final installment of their "record club" devoted to releasing three EPs in less than a year.
Black Carl superfans clutched their vinyl and sang their hearts out to the band's long list of cult hits after seeing openers Lamwe, Wizards of Time and Gospel Claws as sort of an indie appetizer to BC's blues-rock cocktail. Check out the full review of Black Carl at the Crescent Ballroom.
The First, First Friday of 2012 in Downtown Phoenix
The very First Friday of the year brought out the masses and the usual mess of misfits and misbehavior. It also included new works by local artists such as Colin Chillag, Dan Diaz and Brendan Ore. Older works were showcased as well, as part of the group Holgas retrospective at MonOrchid gallery. Check out the full First Friday slideshow.
Arizona Commemorates the Gabrielle Giffords Shooting One Year Later
Over the weekend Arizona residents commemorated what has come to be known as the "Tucson Tragedy;" the day Jared Lee Loughner opened fire outside a Tucson Safeway killing six and wounding 14 including U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords. Residents from across Arizona and the country, including Giffords and her husband Mark Kelly, participated in the memorial.

- Karnataka PGCET Overview
Karnataka PGCET - Karnataka Post Graduate Common Entrance Test (Karnataka PGCET - 2016)
Q - In the brochure it is said that the documents to be verified in any helpline centre, on the notified dates, what does it mean?
After the declaration of the result KEA will publish the complete schedule for verification of documents. The schedule contains the date, time, rank ranges and other information's regarding the documents. The candidate has to compulsorily verify their original documents on the specified date and time.
How to Prepare
Preparation Strategy
Make a proper Time Table
It is very important that you make a time table and stick to it and you will have an exact idea of what you are required to study and the time required for it.
Concept clarity rather than rote learning
It is essential that you have a clear idea of the formulas and concepts rather than rote learning of things for the papers. While you might require it for memorizing formulas it is important that for other stuff you make sure you clear your basis and concepts before moving on.
Prepare Notes
It is very important make small notes or a comprehensive list of formulas on each covered topic and chapter which will come in handy at the time of revision. This will require you to be regular with your work but will surely make things easy at the time of revision.
Seek guidance
It is not possible for you to know everything in your syllabus, at least not at the time of preparation. Sooner or later you will run into a concept or so which will give you trouble and then it is best you seek guidance from an instructor or a teacher. It is necessary that you clear your doubts at regular intervals and don't prolong things for long. Getting into a good coaching class is nothing to be ashamed off and if anything a regular coaching class will enable you to avoid roadblocks in your preparation.
Sample Papers
Even though there may be a complete change in the exam pattern or the expected questions altogether,it is important that you practice on the sample and previous years question papers. You will know the existing pattern and have a fair idea of the type of questions to expect in the paper along with the time constraint.
Mock tests
The paper pattern , duration of the paper and the number of questions to be attempted in the given amount of time is not something you will be able to pick up on the day of the examination. A Mock Test tests a student's abilities as it not only provides a similar feel of real exams but also helps in building speed and confident to face the exam. Furthermore, they can improve their performance to get an extra edge in actual exams.
Time Management
Time management can be learnt through thorough practice and regular test taking. So it is important that you practice it and practice it well.

When Columbus said the world was round he was right, except for one important thing. The earth is no sphere of dirt surrounded by space, but a sphere of space surrounded by dirt! The sun floats in the center of the solar system, as you travel out away from the sun eventually you reach the atmosphere, then further out is the sea, a huge translucent sphere surrounding the sun, further out in the depths of the sea you will reach the ground. Nobody knows whats out there underground, some miners speculate there may be other inner seas!
How to play:
All controls in the game are bound to mouse input, moving your mouse dynamically effects the whale. Move your mouse up and down to turn in that direction or swim by swishing the tail up and down multiple times build up speed. moving the mouse left or right will allow you to roll in the water to turn.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! Impressed and pleased you mastered the controls too, they did not feels as intuitive as I had hoped, despite their simplicity, been pondering ways to improve that, but not came to anything yet.
If you or your daughter are after any other games where you play as creatures I have a rabbit game, and a cute rolling alien game ;)
Wow, thanks for doing the video! And yes I really decided to make this lite experimental kinda game to play with that idea I had for controls. If I decided to expand on this idea at some point I think your right, some plankton to eat would be cool, and maybe those boats you see on the surface could even be whaling boats which would try harpoon you, I would also like to vary the depth of the water far more.
I am kinda surprised how confused everyone gets when they try it, the controls actually work in the same way as most dogfight games, ie you don't stay aligned to a vertical axes but instead have to roll to one side and use vertical input to make a sharp turn, this is kinda confusing, but every other flying game manages it, so I figured it was worth it to give people freedom to do barral-roles through water etc.
Moving the mouse up and down moves the wales tail up and down, this does two things, like in real life the airfoil effect of the tail while its sweeping up and down creates a forward force. The other thing that happens is while your body is curved in a direction you will turn following that curve.
I expected some of that to be confusing to people but a recurring thing everyone keeps doing is turning the opposite way they want to go, I have no idea why this is, the mouse input is set up so that you literally move the mouse the way you want to go, if you veering sharply towards the ground, you need to start moving your mouse away from wherever the ground is! however I think the speed of the whales movements and the fact you have to flap the tail to move throws people somehow which is really interesting. Also, speed is fine, just as long as you know how to drive, I'll upload a video at some point, I think this experement has kindof failed the intuitiveness test but it is one of those unusual things that looks and feels better the more you get your head around the controls I think.
Very challenging controls but an interesting idea.

IN the first Czechoslovak elections after the 1989 Velvet Revolution, the victorious Civic Forum party campaigned on the slogan ''Back Into Europe.'' This attempt to fuse political and geographical reality (as Czechs are fond of pointing out, Prague is significantly west of Vienna) has only partially been realized in the decade since. While the Czech Republic appears to be in no hurry to join the European Union, it has joined NATO, and gaudy advertisements and pizzerias are now firmly entrenched in Czech life. This ambivalence about internationalization is also visible in Czech cultural life. The recent vicissitudes of Antonin Dvorak's opera ''Rusalka'' provide an interesting example.
While Bedrich Smetana's ''Bartered Bride'' is unquestionably the Czech national opera, ''Rusalka'' must run it a close second. Smetana's romantic comedy epitomizes one stereotype of Czechness: happy villagers in quaint peasant garb, dancing polkas and skocnas in the local pub while singing hymns in praise of beer. But there is another sort of Czechness, found in the folk ballads of Karel Jaromir Erben, Bohemia's answer to the Grimm brothers. Erben's verses, which have been memorized by a century of Czech schoolchildren, are set in sinister forests, populated by witches and water goblins, and are not lacking in gore.
Dvorak's tragic fairy tale of a water nymph (or rusalka) who forsakes her father, the Water Goblin, and his damp realm to seek the love of a human prince recalls Erben's world without being a part of it. ''Rusalka'' also contains the most famous Czech opera aria, the title character's ''Hymn to the Moon.'' But this beloved fixture of national culture must be handled gently. A splendid new recording with an international cast has caused no fuss, but there have been complaints about an innovative production in Pilsen and protests against a transformation of the opera into a rock musical in Prague.
First, the good news. Decca/London has released a new version of ''Rusalka,'' featuring Renee Fleming and Ben Heppner, with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, and Charles Mackerras conducting (460 568-2; three CD's). A recording of a Czech opera in the original language with an international cast is a great rarity, and one with a cast of this quality is an even greater one.Continue reading the main story
Inevitably, there is some loss of expression when a Czech text is declaimed by non-native speakers. In particular, the slight rhythmic irregularities Czech singers use to express different vowel lengths are missing, lending a smoother but less piquant sound to Jaroslav Kvapil's text. Still, much greater damage has been done to French and Italian librettos by non-native singers in many a legendary recording, and anyone who loves ''Rusalka'' should be delighted to luxuriate in singing of this quality.
Ms. Fleming poignantly evokes a water nymph incapable of human passion. Her daringly languid reading of the ''Hymn to the Moon'' reminds us that she is a supernatural creature, longing for love but innocent of its meaning. Eva Urbanova, who made her Met debut this season as Ortrud in ''Lohengrin,'' provides a vibrant, sensual contrast as the Foreign Princess, Rusalka's human rival. Mr. Heppner's heroic Prince is a worthy object for their affections, vocally a better man than the easily manipulated weakling of the libretto. The opera's final scene, in particular, thrillingly takes him from the baritonal reaches at the bottom of the staff up to an impeccably placed high C above it.
But the real star of the recording may be Mr. Mackerras, who coaxes playing both detailed and impassioned from the Czech Philharmonic. The performance is marred only by Decca's unfortunate decision to amplify Franz Hawlata's Water Goblin artificially, masking the timbre of his voice and creating an unrealistic sonic perspective. This kind of gimmickry was standard fare in the label's operatic productions of the 1950's but seems unnecessary today.
In Decca's defense, electronically enhanced Water Goblins frequently feature in the conservative stagings to be found in nearly every Czech theater. In Brno's Janacek Theater, ''Rusalka,'' like ''The Bartered Bride'' and Dvorak's ''Devil and Kate,'' is often performed on Sunday afternoon to audiences filled with astoundingly well-dressed and attentive children. The current Brno ''Rusalka'' is graced by the legendary Czech bass Richard Novak, still in splendid voice in his fifth decade as a professional soloist. The young audience, however, seemed less impressed by Novak's moving portrayal of the Water Goblin than by his bright green jumpsuit and chartreuse wig.
No green jumpsuits are to be seen in Pilsen, where the new production of ''Rusalka'' is, as the concertmaster, Martin Kaplan, cheerfully puts it, ''no opera for children.'' The production is set around the time of the opera's premiere in 1901. Costumes suggest the turn of the century, and the scenery is a mixture of nods to Jugendstil and stylized evocations of nature with cellophane and balloons.
The director, Jan Burian, intends to center the production on Rusalka's erotic longings, and indeed, this is a Rusalka at least as interested in inhabiting a human body as in acquiring a human soul. She is initiated into the world of human passions by the witch Jezibaba, who is, instead of the hobbling crone familiar from traditional stagings, a hot number in a slinky, revealing black gown; she wields a dominatrix's whip and has a knife hidden in her garter.
Yet by international standards, the staging is fairly conventional. Rusalka wears the simple white shift familiar from photographs of the original production, and there are no attempts to graft on political messages. This is no ''Madame Butterfly'' in Vietnam or ''Marriage of Figaro'' in the Trump Tower. Still, the production has been vigorously debated, from the Pilsen pit to the Prague press, with many finding the modern costumes inappropriate for a fairy-tale opera.
The most controversial of the recent ''Rusalka'' productions is the ''Rusalka Musikal,'' now playing in Prague's Millennium Theater. Even before the premiere, the musical had elicited protests from prominent Czech musical organizations, including the Dvorak Society, and the Janacek Academy of Musical Arts here.
''Dvorak's music needs no new garb,'' the Brno faculty complained in an open letter in the Prague newspaper Lidove Noviny. ''Arias are dilettantishly shortened, and their melody, rhythms and harmonies are deformed.'' The academics went on to excoriate the authors of the musical: ''The noisy weight of the trendy rock accompaniment goes exactly contrary to the spirit and content of Dvorak's lyricism, so that they attach themselves to the genius of the original score like extremely primitive parasites.''
Strong words: surprisingly strong, perhaps, to American ears. After all, appropriations of Gershwin for airline ads or of Copland by beef and car hawkers occasioned no pickets at the Juilliard School.
The musical is an avowed attempt to create a Czech answer to ''Jesus Christ Superstar.'' Michael Prostejovsky, who adapted Kvapil's libretto for the musical, and four of the principal singers were involved in a Czech production of ''Superstar'' that opened in Prague in 1994.
To judge from the soundtrack album (released by EMI/Monitor in the Czech Republic only), as a listener unable to stay for the premiere must, the musical needs more Andrew Lloyd Webber and less Dvorak. For all the protests, it actually follows the original closely. Dvorak's melodies are recognizable, and many details of harmony and orchestration are retained. The best-known numbers are handled the most carefully. The ''Hymn to the Moon'' is crooned almost straight, over a restrained piano accompaniment.
Kvapil's libretto is handled even more reverentially. The alterations are confined to harmless substitutions of synonyms and occasional additions of verses. Even these additions conform to the original meter and rhyme schemes. The resulting hybrid, while deforming the original, doesn't rock hard enough to provide a satisfying alternative.
For all that the ''Rusalka Musikal'' may appall lovers of the original opera, the fuss over the rock version seems oddly disproportionate. Musical kitsch is no stranger to the Czech Republic. One of the biggest holiday hits of recent years was a recording called ''Christmas Stars,'' crammed with juicy, Mantovani-meets-Kenny G travesties of famous classics like the Handel Largo. ''Christmas Stars,'' rather than provoking protests, begot the surest proof of success, a sequel (''Christmas Stars 2,'' which, incidentally, features two stars of ''Rusalka Musikal'').
Perhaps urges to protect national culture are connected to its tenuously national nature. ''Rusalka'' may now be a beloved part of national culture, but the water nymph is not historically part of Czech folklore. The librettist Kvapil had to draw from German and Scandinavian sources. In fact, ''Rusalka'' is much more closely related to Hans Christian Andersen's (and Disney's) ''Little Mermaid'' than to any Czech tales.
FOR that matter, even ''The Bartered Bride,'' that most Czech of Czech operas, has a suspicious past. Smetana, a native German speaker, never spoke or wrote Czech fluently, and the ''Bartered Bride'' libretto was originally sketched in German. Worse, Smetana's librettist, Karel Sabina, was later exposed as a informer for the Austrians.
Last fall was a time of political ambivalence in the Czech Republic. Barely 20 percent of eligible voters participated in November elections for the Czech Senate. Meanwhile, none of the parties in the current Governmental coalition seem particularly dismayed by a European Commission report suggesting that the Czech Republic is unlikely to be admitted to the European Union in 2003, as originally planned. With so little public interest in the country's immediate political prospects, perhaps the nation's theaters will provide more clues than its town halls to this country's future.Continue reading the main story
