Lyapunov: Piano Concertos
Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads availableCDA67326
Movement 1: Lento ma non troppo
Movement 2: Allegro molto ed appassionato
Movement 3: Allegro moderato
Movement 4: Allegro molto
Movement 5: Lento ma non troppo
Movement 6: Allegro molto
In Lyapunov's Second Concerto, the orchestral opening is one of the most lovely in the Romantic concerto repertory. The initial version of the first theme, in the tonic key of E major, Lento ma non troppo, is immediately heard, taking us at once into the same world of exotic oriental fantasy as is to be found in the slow movement of Balakirev's C major Symphony (1897), especially part of that movement's second subject, which also happens to be in the same key of E major, but with certain harmonies taken from the first subject. From that starting point, however, Lyapunov has created a more memorable theme than either of Balakirev's, though the ambience is the same. The piano joins in with delicate filigree decoration and the enchantment is complete. Here and there in the concerto there are occasional hints of the gorgeous but evil princess 'Tamara', portrayed in Balakirev's symphonic poem of that name. The other two themes in Lyapunov's concerto, different in character, are not difficult to pick out; and in the usual position, before the main development section, there is an orchestral ritornello reminiscent of material in the finale of the Balakirev symphony. In the abridged recapitulation there are rearrangements; for example, when the initial theme reappears it is not in E major, as one would expect, but in the mellow key of D flat major, played majestically on the brass and accompanied by piano embellishments – a wonderfully imaginative touch. There are many other melodic and harmonic felicities in the concerto, as well as the ubiquitous Lisztian virtuoso fireworks, proliferating into cadenzas. Early-twentieth-century avant garde Russian and French musicians will have judged that Lyapunov had little new to say in his Second Concerto. But, nearly a century later, that need not concern today's listener, since in spite of its derivations it is a fully mature and, on its own terms, original work. And while the Lisztian cyclic structure is there to be investigated, the music-lover may wish to enjoy luxuriating in the enthralling music for its own sake. In addition, it is worth reiterating that Lyapunov's late Romanticism is quite different from Rachmaninov's, even if the same tricks of the trade are sometimes used.

Developed toward the latter half of 19th century, promotional posters began to appear for the now huge network of railways supporting Britain's rapidly developing tourism industry. Whilst the earliest posters were laden with information and light on artwork, the shift to marketing holidays meant that art was needed to sell the image of glorious sun-soaked beaches and countryside. It is for these reasons that the highly distinctive nature of the posters emerged in the relative affluence of the 1920s. This "golden age" of the railway poster was marked by the adoption of Art Deco style. Similarly it was in this period that the big four railway companies; LNER, GWR, Southern Railway and LMS, all developed their own distinct styles, with in house artists giving each network discernible features. Yet despite differences all posters retained a marked design quality mixed with a British sense of humour. Browse our range by region or by railway network to find one you love.

Gives the frame its character and provides the perfect setting for an artwork to be fully enjoyed.
Protects the artwork from dust and wilting so that it can be admired for many years.
Adds depth to an image and works with the moulding to enhance and protect the artwork.
Bonds to the artwork ensuring it is perfectly smooth and holds the whole frame together.
We partner with the world's top museums and galleries to bring you exclusive prints of the highest quality. Our teams of designers ensure the colours are accurate, papers are well suited and the best frames are suggested.
In the printing room, artworks are printed on state-of-the-art machines with a team of technicians checking colour and quality every step of the way.
After being cut down to size, our team carefully finish any stray edges, check measurements and prepare the prints for mounting and framing.
We have a team of master framers who work with high-quality, responsibly-sourced wood to create our vast range of framing combinations - each frame is bespoke and made to order for every print.
Our selection of hand-finished frames are painted or stained by hand in a variety of colours, and finished with a layer of wax - the end result is a uniquely crafted, beautiful frame that is made to last.
In this workshop everything comes together - the print, the frame and the glass - in a seamless and stream-lined process.
The artwork is carefully mounted in preparation for framing.
Once mounted, the print is ready to be covered by glass or perspex - a delicate procedure but expertly done with not a fingerprint in sight.
After a final, thorough check, the framed print is ready to be carefully packaged up and shipped to the customer.
For those who order their art as canvas prints, the same amount of attention and care goes into the process. Here, the print is being transferred to a wooden frame.
As with the framed prints, our canvases are all hand-finished in the workshop - a labour of love from start to finish.

text: Stunning stuff – and one of the few reissues we've ever seen to really do justice to this legendary New Orleans soul label! The Ric and Ron imprints were a key indie force in the development of Crescent City soul music – home to some of the better artists who didn't get scooped up by the bigger companies – still working for the hometown label to really serve up the real New Orleans vibe! This special package is put together by the joint forces of Rounder, Ace, and Numero – three labels that have already turned us onto a wealth of great music over the years – and it's a limited edition of 1500 copies, with a host of previously unreleased tracks – all pressed up as 10 funky 45s, in a sweet box with a booklet! Essential stuff for any fan of New Orleans soul – or 60s soul in general – with previously unissued tracks that include "Lena Come What May (demo)" by Al Johnson, "Found My Good Thing" and "Question Of Love" by Barbara Lynn, "I Won't Cry (audition)" and "Walking The Floor Over You" by Johnny Adams, "Blues Cha Cha" by Edgar Blanchard & The Gondoliers, "Goofer" by Paul Marvin", and "Nothing Withotu You", "Satisfied With Your Love", and "Ain't You Ashamed" by Eddie Bo. © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

The NFL plays home to many former Spartans, most notably including: Green Bay Packers Super Bowl winning wide receiver James Jones, Jacksonville Jaguars safety Dwight Lowery, and Atlanta Falcons cornerback Chris Owens. Last year was not the greatest year for the Spartans, as they finished a mere 5-7 and failed to make a bowl game. However, the Spartans look to turn things around this year as they hunt for a bowl game appearance, somewhere they have not been since their 2008 win in the New Mexico Bowl. They will operate under head coach Mike MacIntyre at Spartan Stadium, which holds just over 30,000 fans.
The Spartans open up the season against a tough Stanford team as they try to prove to the nation they are a team to be reckoned with. Gold Coast Tickets wants you alongside for the action all season long. Gold Coast Tickets has the best selection for your entire 2012 Spartan and college football season ticket needs!

In only her third collection at the helm of the Brit brand, Sarah Burton brought fragility and femininity to the catwalk in the spring 2012 Alexander McQueen show in Paris.
And to think what she's gone through in the last 18 months: her friend and mentor Alexander McQueen's tragic death last spring, to the now iconic wedding gown crafted for Kate Middleton, to the internationally acclaimed McQueen exhibition at the Met in New York - the designer must be made of stern stuff.
Burton's inspiration came from the wonders of nature and the ocean bed; her models, wearing fine lace masks just covering eyes but moving to encase the whole head, became strangely beautiful mermaid-like creatures. Gowns became increasingly detailed, some encrusted with beads, oyster shells and seed-pearled 'barnacles', with waterfall ruffles and acres of embroidered lace.
Burton also honoured the strict tailoring and classic silhouette of the house in her first looks with cocktail suits in pearlescent pinks and golds with high collars or scooped necks revealing lace bras paired with skirts with flouncing hem ruffles. All in all, a regal enough selection to take any princess from public appointments during the day to the ambassador's ball at night.
As the show drew to it's close, the habitually cynical fashion crowd stood to applaud Sarah Burton's other worldly fantasy and editors rushed backstage to congratulate the breathless designer with one allegedly getting on her knees before the designer in admiration!

Budding LA based actress and daughter of musician Phil Collins, Lily is no ordinary twenty-two year old. Currently studying broadcast journalism at the University of Southern California, she's been acting since she was just two-years-old! (Yes two! When she appeared in the BBC series Growing Pains) and the busy bee has been hard at it ever since. With three movies (and several others in post-production) already under her belt, Lily also managed to squeeze-in even more extra curricular activity whilst at high school when she wrote a column for Elle Girl magazine and contributed to Teen Vogue!
Lily had her first (notable) fashion moment at the ripe old age of erm…seventeen when she was dressed by Chanel (!) for the Bal des Débutantes charity ball held in Paris (hardcore fans of The Hills will recall it featuring on the reality TV show back in 2007), and is it any wonder that Lily caught Karl Lagerfeld's eye, her sparkling CV and sterling style credentials (that Chanel in fact probably cemented) make her a perfect brand ambassador, that and her distinctive look. Lily's mane of dark hair and head-turning eye-brows have become her trademark- fashion heavy-weight Carine Roitfeld has even warned Lily from ever messing with them, describing her strong brows as what makes her stand out.
But Lily has fashion flare of her own, for major occasions she knows how to pull out the big-guns and make an entrance- you need think back no further than Lily's Monique Lhuillier moment at the Vanity Fair Oscars party in February this year- the whole fashion world sat-up and took note when she appeared in a floor length, blue embroidered show-stopper.
Lily also has a younger, individual look for less formal occasions and her enviable Chanel wardrobe aside, she calls on a catalogue of less established, feminine yet edgy labels like Carven, Honor and ADAM that ensure she stands out from the crowd.
Dressing your age is key as a member of young Hollywood and Lily nails the balancing act of fun and interesting with a sophisticated finish but she also knows the power of leaning on the big guns like Dolce & Gabbana for high profile events when being noticed is crucial.
And Lily's going to be firmly under the fashion spotlight over the next few months with Mirror Mirror (her upcoming comedy based on Snow White and also starring Julia Roberts) being imminently released- the Blockbuster to catapult her to mainstream stardom or so we predict; Lily Collins to be the fairest one of all!

The NERC CIP standards represent an historic achievement. They include the first mandatory cyber security requirements of their kind to be imposed on a U.S. private-sector industry. Considering...
Demonstrating the Smart Grid
Pilot projects clarify the vision of an intelligent utility system.
from several seconds to 10 minutes were observed. What was typically a momentary interruption went unnoticed by the consumer, but the study found that controllers have the technical capacity to act as a shock absorber for the grid and prevent or reduce the impact of power outages.
Addition Through Subtraction
The GFA results are interesting from a number of perspectives. For example, the controller works autonomously, so all that's needed is a wall outlet. Because its under-frequency threshold is higher than the threshold at a substation, the controller theoretically could reduce the chance of a feeder blackout by anticipating and responding to an under-frequency situation first, before it reaches and triggers the substation relays.
The protection results in little or no inconvenience for the appliance owner, while a substation relay action creates outages for many customers on the downstream feeder, and such an arrangement certainly would be preferable to having designated commercial and industrial loads curtailed at the utility's expense.
"In a sense, you're buying electricity from a demand-response network, not a peaking reserve unit," Pratt says. "This could reduce the need for load following power to regulate the frequency of the grid, which fluctuates daily. Why burn a lot of fuel to follow that load during what is usually a 10 to 60 second event?"
Finally, such an arrangement could make it easier for utilities to rely on renewable energy sources like wind and solar farms. As an example, Pratt points to a February drop in frequency on Texas's transmission grid related to a shortfall in output from the state's wind projects.
"They couldn't bring up their spinning reserve fast enough," Pratt says. "They had a sledgehammer approach in that they had to interrupt targeted customers. Whether it's a price dispatch approach, or a circuit board built into a home appliance, we're proposing to do the same thing, but with finesse."
An Intelligent Switch
A major utility in the Midwest has been experimenting with smart-grid technologies since the mid-1990s, and today it uses those technologies to get the most out of its old-tech infrastructure. (Editor's note: As this issue was going to press, the utility's lawyers intervened and requested we not name the company in this story because of pending litigation and ratemaking issues. As the company's spokesman explained, they're facing disputes over such basic things as the definition of "smart grid," and whether the company's grid already is smart enough to do what's necessary to serve its customers.) The company uses Cellnet+Hunt UtiliNet communications devices to help monitor and operate the 34-kV sub-transmission system that feeds its distribution substations.
A web of roughly 3,500 Cellnet wireless devices are programmed to carry out a variety of functions and transmit real-time operations data back to the utility's SCADA system. Each device sends its signals via a mesh network of Cellnet transmitters strategically located throughout the utility's service territory.
The utility has 900 automated switches on the 34-kV system, and each has the ability to reconfigure itself to restore service during an outage, and report its actions back to its SCADA system. If,

Have you stayed with us at The Parador Inn? Let us know what you think! Use the comments to tell us about your time with Ed, Razor, RJ and the rest of the staff. We can't wait to hear from you!
19 Comments
We love everything about The Parador Inn. The B&B is beautiful, the rooms are incredible, the breakfast is delicious and the host(s) are very welcoming. The location is perfect for us!! Can't say enough about this wonderful B&B!!
We loved this place so much! Everything was perfect about this B&B. Our room was lovely and breakfast was delicious. We are planning on going back early next year, we loved it that much! Highly recommended.
Thank you for providing us with a wonderful night's stay and an incredibly delicious breakfast in an amazing setting! We could not have been happier with our spacious, homey and immaculate accommodations and the location was superb. An added bonus was our new friends Razor and RJ. We hope to come back again soon to enjoy the multitude of museums and restaurants Pittsburgh has to offer!
My wife and I stayed at the Parador in January. We had looked online at various B&B's in Pittsburgh and chose it because of the neighborhood appeal as well as its dog-friendly policy (albeit limited). Despite freezing temperatures without, the Parador's tropical wall murals and general Caribbean vibe kept us feeling warm throughout our stay. But speaking more literally, the place was indeed well-heated and quite comfortable, even in the Carriage House where we bunked. We arrived a little behind schedule but Ed was kind enough to wait up for us and give us all the information we needed for our stay. We were quite satisfied with the rooms and services provided, enjoyed breakfast the following morning, and would definitely recommend the Parador to anyone planning a trip to Pittsburgh.
We come to visit Pittsburgh at least once or twice a year from Cleveland. We really love the city – now I'm looking forward to our next visit so we can stay at your place. Which room would you recommend? They all look wonderful….
Looking forward to meeting you and Razor and RJ!
There are not enough adjectives to describe the Parador. Amazing, unique, awe-inspiring – none of these quite capture the charm, beauty and Caribbean whimsy that makes this place so special. And who would have thought we would find this treasure in Pittsburgh? Certainly not me. But we did and I cannot say enough about it. Take a breathtaking Victorian mansion, restore it with loving care and impeccable authentic decor – then add some bright and unexpected interior colors, a sandy "beach" outside, the shadows of palm leaves on the walls, a Key West style sun room, a black lab and a great host named Ed and you have The Parador. And don't forget the superb breakfasts! There is no detail Ed has overlooked…even down to the small, but powerful, flashlight on the bedstand so you can use the "facilities" without waking your husband by turning on the lights (or tripping over your feet). Thank you for being there Ed. We will return. I want to try every room!
I stayed for two nights at the Parador this past weekend. I have been to many B&Bs (which I prefer to the sameness of the chain hotels) in various cities. The Parador is by far the BEST. The location was great as was the breakfast that Ed made for the guests. I had the Chenille room and it was a beautiful room. I especially liked the stained glass window and the claw foot tub. I actually hated to leave the Parador. This former mansion is lovely and the veranda is delightful. It's nice and relaxing to sit out there and read or have a cup of coffee. I plan to stay at The Parador Inn again this summer. Razor and RJ add to the charm!
We stayed with Ed about 1 year ago. It was awesome! Delicious breakfast, awesome home/building with plenty to see. I would def stay here again and would highly recommend the Parador Inn to friends and family. Great place, great price, great guy and great dogs – nuff' said.
We came down to stay a night & to see a Steelers game while in town. The location was perfect for the game – you could throw a rock at the stadium! We were pleased to see how charming & original the interior of the Inn was. Our accomodations were more than what we expected & the staff were very nice & informative. Ed made an amazing breakfast of melba waffles, pumpkin bread & melon parfaits. Overall, a very nice stay. Not only would we recommend, but would stay again if we ever come back to the area!
We stayed two nights in the Bougainvillea and were very pleased with it. Ed makes a terrific baked oatmeal entree and whips up creative breakfast parfaits. Razor is a well behaved black lab who still has a fair amount of puppy in him and enjoys playing with the guests. The patio has comfortable furniture and the courtyard is lush with flowers and shrubs and is very quiet. The Parador's location makes it an ideal place to stay if one desires to go to Heinz Field, PNC Stadium, the Science Center or to stroll / bike along the riverfront. If one has trouble with climbing stairs, then perhaps the Bougainvillea is not the room to get, as it involves two flights of stairs to reach the bedroom and bathroom. Other rooms at the Parador seemed to be located on the second story. Nearby are a McDonald's, Wendy's and Seven-Eleven, and Ed can recommend other places in the vicinity of the Parador for one to explore.
I just returned from my niece's graduation, and the Parador is where I chose to stay. I thought the inn was most charming, and Ed was a wonderful host. My room was very spacious and the breakfasts served were great. I loved the antique clocks, the chandeliers and the lovely garden. I will definitely stay there again if I have another opportunity to visit Pittsburgh.
My fiance and I stayed here for a weekend and Ed was fabulous and the house was even more fabulous… We love the area the house is located and the service was truly wonderful!!! We will be back soon
My daughter had her wedding there on May 22. Absolutely fabulous, even with the rain. Ed was wonderful and very easy to work with. Breakfasts were delightful. Highly recommend the Parador Inn. Love the dogs, Razor and RJ. Hint: Don't try to hang tulle outside with RJ around. He thinks it is a toy.
Location, location, location. This Caribbean B & B located in the North Shore, an older. quieter area of Pittsburgh that is a short 10 to 15 minute walk to downtown. It is also, from a retired police offier's point of view, in a safe neighborhood. My wife and I walked every night after dark and were always comfortable. Our room was not just clean, it was immaculate. Soft Caribbean music in the background, every breakfast was an experience in gourmet dining. Ed is a gracious host and is a walking encyclopedia of where to go and where to eat. Razor and RJ add the homey touch. Why would anyone even consider staying anywhere else?
My husband, Mark, and I love the Parador Inn. The inn is beautiful, with historic charm and fun Caribbean flair. The bedrooms are elegant and comfortable, Ed is a gracious host who makes superb breakfasts, Razor and R.J. are friendly canine hosts, and the housekeeping staff is efficient and accommodating. In addition, the location is easy to find and convenient to the many things Pittsburgh offers. Mark and I are glad we found the Parador; it has become a home away from home for us when we visit our children, who are students at Pitt. We look forward to our visit every time.

With the introduction of retail competition in the electricity industry, regulatory authorities in many jurisdictions are now overseeing the purchase of electricity at wholesale by electric...
Building the Next Generation Utility
Fundamental changes require bold strategies.
regulatory framework to drive a change in allowed operating scope beyond traditional services.
The Next-Gen Utility
Utilities face a shifting landscape where demand destruction and revenue loss are very real possibilities. In the face of these challenges three strategic options exist.
• Lead the way: Proactively shape a products and services portfolio, enabling greater energy efficiency and load management while influencing the regulatory compact, embracing the carbon challenge, moving toward the smart technologies and understanding the changing nature of the relationship with the customer.
• Follow the leaders: Maximize the current regulatory framework while laying the foundation for change by pursuing very limited forays into renewables and smart technologies, focusing on providing adequate service to the customer.
• Resist change: Attempt to delay the advent of new regulation, focusing on short-term value optimization with limited to no investment in long-term capabilities or technologies.
The industry faces inevitable changes. While the precise timing and form could differ, the end result is clear. Utilities using a lead-the-way strategy while exercising investment prudence will maximize shareholder value in the medium to long term. This strategy does not require being a first mover with regards to technology deployment, which doesn't map well to utility core strengths or the regulatory environment. But it does require proactively embracing the changing landscape by: 1) Restructuring the asset portfolio to meet the evolving generation stack including, but not limited to, a clear path for the deployment of renewables and an agility to respond to technological progress; 2) Recasting the T&D network to make it intelligent, two way, and able to foster real time demand management at scale, including customer premise energy network management; 3) Reinventing the customer value proposition and experience to drive demand management at scale, with customer tailored mix of commodity and energy utilization service; and 4) Proactively shaping the legislative and regulatory compacts, including changes in operating scope that move beyond the meter, as well as changes in earning structure beyond decoupling.
Piecemeal efforts will not produce the necessary outcomes. Bold leaders will drive their organizations to adopt a highly integrated, effective, efficient and extended operating model while delivering results along the way to earn regulators' trust and support. This transformation and degree of turmoil is akin to that experienced within the telecom industry over the last 15 years, which has led to a complete redefinition of the winners and losers.
Crystallizing a dramatically different future vision and shaping and executing a roadmap thereto will define the legacy of this generation of industry leaders. While the challenge ahead is more significant and fraught with more uncertainty than previously faced in the history of the industry, it is surmountable. It all starts with that very first critical decision to lead, follow, or be left behind.

Pramipexole is used alone or with other medications to treat Parkinson's disease. It can improve your ability to move and can decrease shakiness (tremor), stiffness, slowed movement, and unsteadiness. It may also decrease the number of episodes of not being able to move ("on-off syndrome").
Pramipexole is a dopamine agonist that works by helping to restore the balance of a certain natural substance (dopamine) in the brain.
Read the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start taking pramipexole and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Swallow this medication whole. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablets. Doing so can release all of the drug at once, increasing the risk of side effects. Take this medication by mouth with or without food, as directed by your doctor. Taking this medication with food may reduce nausea. To decrease the risk of side effects (such as drowsiness, low blood pressure) when you first start taking pramipexole, your doctor will slowly increase your dosage until the best dose for you is reached. Take this medication as prescribed.
The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same times each day. Do not increase your dose or take it more often than directed.
If you stop taking this medication for several days, you may need to increase your dose slowly back to your previous dosage. Talk with your doctor about how to restart the medication. Do not stop taking this medication without your doctor's approval. Although very unlikely, if you suddenly stop taking this drug, a serious reaction may occur including fever, muscle stiffness, and confusion. Report any such reactions to your doctor immediately. If your doctor directs you to stop regular treatment with this drug, gradually reducing the dosage as directed will help prevent such reactions.
It may take a few weeks for full effects of this medication to be noticed. Tell your doctor if your symptoms do not improve or if they worsen.
See also How to Use section.
Nausea, vomiting, dizziness, drowsiness, trouble sleeping, constipation, headache, cough, or dry mouth may occur. If these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: mental/mood changes (such as confusion, depression, hallucinations), muscle cramps/spasm.
Tell your doctor immediately if any of these rare but very serious side effects occur: swelling of the ankles/feet, chest pain, trouble breathing, compulsive behaviors (such as pathological gambling), muscle pain/weakness, unusual tiredness, change in amount of urine, vision changes.
Some people taking pramipexole have reported falling asleep suddenly during their usual daily activities (such as talking on the phone, driving). In some cases, sleep occurred without any feelings of drowsiness beforehand. This sleep effect may occur any time during treatment with pramipexole, including up to 1 year after starting the medication. Therefore, you should not drive or take part in other possibly dangerous activities until you are certain that this medication will not cause drowsiness or sudden sleep. If you experience increased sleepiness or fall asleep during the day, do not drive or take part in other possibly dangerous activities until you have discussed this effect with your doctor. Your risk is increased with use of alcohol or other medications that can make you drowsy. You may also develop a sudden drop in blood pressure, which can cause dizziness, nausea, sweating, and fainting. This is more likely when you are first starting the medication, when your dose is increased, or when you get up suddenly. To lower your risk, get up slowly from a sitting or lying position.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
In the US -
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.
See also Side Effects section.
Before taking pramipexole, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: low blood pressure, heart problems (such as irregular heartbeat, heart failure), kidney problems, mental/mood disorders (such as confusion, hallucinations, psychosis, schizophrenia), sleep disorder (such as sleep apnea, narcolepsy).
Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).
Older adults may be at a greater risk for dizziness and hallucinations while using this drug.
During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.
This drug may pass into breast milk and could have undesirable effects on a nursing infant. It may also affect milk production. Therefore, breast-feeding is not recommended while using this drug. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval.
Some products that may interact with this drug include: antipsychotics (such as chlorpromazine, haloperidol, thiothixene), cimetidine, metoclopramide.
If you are taking levodopa or a carbidopa/levodopa combination, your doctor may direct you to decrease your levodopa dose after you start taking pramipexole.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you also take drugs that cause drowsiness such as certain antihistamines (such as diphenhydramine), anti-seizure drugs (such as carbamazepine), medicine for sleep or anxiety (such as alprazolam, diazepam, zolpidem), muscle relaxants, narcotic pain relievers (such as codeine), psychiatric medicines (such as risperidone, amitriptyline, trazodone).
Check the labels on all your medicines (such as allergy, cough-and-cold products) because they may contain drowsiness-causing ingredients. Ask your pharmacist about the safe use of those products.
If overdose is suspected, contact a poison control center or emergency room immediately. US residents can call their local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. Canada residents can call a provincial poison control center.
Do not share this medication with others.
People with Parkinson's disease may have an increased risk for developing skin cancer (melanoma). If you are taking this drug to treat Parkinson's disease, tell your doctor promptly if you notice a change in the appearance or size of moles or other unusual skin changes. Ask your doctor if you should have regular skin exams.
If you miss a dose and it is within 12 hours of the time you usually take the dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is more than 12 hours from the time you usually take the dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.
Store at room temperature away from light and moisture. Keep all medications away from children and pets.
Do not flush medications down the toilet or pour them into a drain unless instructed to do so. Properly discard this product when it is expired or no longer needed. Consult your pharmacist or local waste disposal company.

Da Vinci
Online Reservations
The restaurant features a dining room fit to carry the name of one of the greatest artists of all time.Upon entrance guests are pleasantly welcomed by a beautiful combination of an Italian rustic feel and a modern touch. The burgundy and cream colors which paint the dining room give it an authentic Tuscan feel while Da Vinci's statues and paintings which are scattered throughout cannot make one help but wonder if the restaurant was not designed by the legendary artist himself.
The private dining atmosphere doesn't take you away from the ambiance and the energy of the dining room. Our "private room" is formed by sectioning off the main dining room in two by beautiful burgundy dividers which flow perfectly with the character of the entire restaurant.Even though it is not a private room, per se, it is no different in the sense that it offers the privacy which one can expect as it is completely separated from any other potential guests in the restaurant.

Review this movie
Sep 1, 2014An interesting take on the creation of an American classic. Although, the film lacks a certain niche which made Hitchcock films so powerful. Nevertheless, Helen Mirren and Anthony Hopkins' performances are able to elevate the film to a higher level.
Jul 1, 2014Creepiness not only shows up in Hitchcock's films, but it is intertwined in his life. The movie follows the making of perhaps Hitchcock's best film, Psycho. It also delves into Hitchcock's personal life, dealing with his wife and their partnership with making movies. In my opinion the best part of the film is the behind the scenes glimpse we get to see of how Psycho was made. The recreated time period was handled well, making the viewer feel immersed. The plot veered from showing the actual making of Psycho more than I would have liked. Instead of focusing on the behind the scenes element, which I considered more entertaining, they focused more on the relationship between Mr. and Mrs. Hitchcock. Not that this was a bad thing for the film but it was not the most entertaining route. The two leads had great chemistry and were fun to watch play believable roles. The cinematography was clever and editing ran smoothly. Acting was well executed, with great performances from Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren and Scarlett Johansson. The film was an informational adventure that motivated me to watch more Hitchcock films.… Expand
May 11, 2014As watching a movie about Alfred Hitchcock's Ideas and how he brought pyscho to the movie theatres and how he sees his ideas on the picture . Anthony hopkins is great at playing Hitchcock and so as Helen Mirren as the supporting , Jealous wife . This movie is amazing and a good movie .
May 4, 2014Hitchcock is a fine Sunday afternoon drama. The cast does an admirable job and the film skips along breezily. But don't look for depth here though. Hitchcock is a bit short on that.
Feb 3, 2014I took me a while to get to watch the movie due to its mixed reviews but when I did I enjoyed every minute of it. With solid performances and entertaining dialogs it captivates the audience within the first few minutes. And it gives a great and interesting view into the making of psycho. I recommend it strongly.
Sep 25, 2013There are various names thrown into the mix when the notion of inspirational and pivotal players in the world of filmmaking, but none ring quite as frequently as Alfred a man quite like no other, much like his films, but here, we have a small insight into the man who was always watching. Anthony Hopkins portrays the esteemed man behind such films as "North by Northwest" and "Psycho", the latter being the film for which this biopic is set around. But the film isn't so much a life story, but more a love story and relationship study between "Hitch" and his doting wife, Alma (Helen Mirren), a woman who has all the skills to last on her own, but follows her husband wherever he may go, she writes and helps him on his way to stardom, but he felt he had to change, he wasn't getting any younger and Hitch himself wanted to show his ability to be diverse. Hopkins plays a man who seems to be aware of everything around him, he knew what needed to be done to give a film that unique edge, Hopkins excellently shows an outcast in someone with an unorthodox technique, but one which works. But the film focuses too much on the marriage of Hitch and Alma, while intriguing and well fitted, not enough time is given to the making of Psycho, this would have certainly been more logical considering the controversial nature of the film and the amount of coverage it received upon its release. This aside, the sublime performances of Hopkins and Mirren are enough to see this film, Hopkins commands the screen and works fluently with a darkly humoured script, while Mirren is an independent yet loving wife to a legend, but also struggles with her own identity and finds solace in the innocent company of Whitfield Cook (Danny Huston) while Hitch continues to show admiration for leading ladies Janet Leigh (Scarlett Johansson) and Vera Miles (Jessica Biel), not major roles the film, nor do they look much like the originals, but great performances soon fix that. The ensemble of fine performances are definitely worth applauding, with a strong script and unique direction to accompany this riveting film, it could have chose a better path, but still fires strong on all cylinders to outline an iconic man, or more so, an iconic couple who changed the landscape of what it means to scare people, looking for that perfect factor, she wrote it, he showed it.… Expand
Sep 17, 2013As lightweight and featherlike a it is, is still a good film. Anthony Hopkins does portray the master of suspense pretty well, and Helen Mirren is likable in her role. The film is smooth for the most part, but drags a little bit. It could've been better, yes, but it still was acceptable nonetheless.
Jun 25, 2013Personally, I hate biographies, I watched because I wanted to know more about Alfred and his masterpieces, how he does it? I learned a lot about him, he was crazy about Psycho. As a movie it is entertaining and funny, and what makes it perfect, is the acting, Mirren and Hopkins are wonderful, with some great chemistry between them. I loved it is by far, one of the greatest biographies ever told, and it is one excellent movie.… Expand
May 5, 2013A good bio that doesn't bore the hell out of you, not it is funny and keeps you interesting the whole watch and it is appropriate for all ages to get to know one of the greatest directors of all time.
Apr 20, 2013Hopkins is great and he is the only reason why this film is worth watching. The rest of the cast is ok. The plot isn't that satisfying and is rather uneventful, It simply fails to suck you in like I thought the movie would have.
Apr 16, 2013It's a simple film, and not the definitive biopic that one might have expected. However, Hopkins and Mirren are so good, that its flaws are easy to overlook. It's a love story that tries to look into the mind of a mad genius.
Mar 19, 2013Awesome performances by the cast overall. This is a decent movie just a tad shallow. Nothing new came from watching it, we all know Hitch was crazy, we all know he was weird with his leading ladies... so what? I didn't come away from the picture with any better understanding for Hitch the man. Honestly your time is probably better spent watching some great films.
Feb 18, 2013As he used to say- murder has come home, where it belongs" Alfred's Psycho was one of the best movies ever made and This movie tells us how Alfred actually made the movie. Now Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren were great in this film, Scarlet was good and others were nice too. The main thing I liked about this movie is that it has Details, details that good films need but they don't have! This Overall documentary is very good, not the fact that it has good cast and direction but the fact that its a meaningful movie!… Expand
Feb 8, 2013Comparisons with 'The Girl' are inevitable, but whilst this isn't as good, it certainly paints in a rather better light. On the whole this is an entertaining and fairly lightweight concoction, performed to perfection. Anthony Hopkins is much better in the role of the famous director than I had been led to believe and Helen Mirren turns in her usual high calibre performance as his wife Alma Reville, the backbone behind the man. The main fun with the film is watching well known actors play other well known personalities. Aside from the two leads, Scarlett Johannson registers well as Janet Leigh, and in a very small role James D'arcy absolutely nails Anthony Perkins displaying all that actors nervous tics and hesitancy. His is a performance I would like to have seen more of. Recreations of the making of Psycho are great and the film generally entertains without displaying any of the heavy drama that made 'The Girl' so compelling. There are merits to each film and both present in a slightly different way. The truth is probably somewhere in between.… Expand
Feb 7, 2013has great cinematography, a great sense of humour and spot on acting from the cast. Though my only problems with the film were that at times it felt tonally confused and there could have been more about Psycho presented in the film, also some parts felt a bit rushed and they could have shown more of them. In the end, is a fun, though flawed, biopic.
Jan 26, 2013**** is a decent film. Sometimes good, but sometimes not really interesting. When the film focuses on the casting for psycho or the problems in the set, Sasha Gervasi's film is entertaining, but halfway through the film, it goes in another direction, the movie starts to follow ****'s wife, Alma, and goes to a silly place. Also, there are so many good misused actors, like Jessica Biel (what was the point of her character?) and James Darcy. At the end, **** is worth seeing for Anthony Hopkins's performance. Wait for the dvd.… Expand
Jan 20, 2013**** stars Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren, Scarlett Johannson and Danny Huston in what basically is the story of the making of the movie
Jan 20, 2013Above all this is a polite movie. After the closing lines I had a feeling that everything was left on the surface, like that the director was afraid or too well mannered to dig beneath, I'm referring, among other things, to the fight between **** and Alma which lacks emotions. And I was not convinced at all about H. fascination with his leading ladies. This is mentioned throughout the movie, but I was not convinced (that is the movie did not convince me, the real life and true H. is something else). The cast is superb, as one can only expect from Mirren and Hopkins.… Expand
Jan 13, 2013Sacha Gervasi's "Hitchcock" title comes off a bit misleading, suggesting that the film to be a definitive biopic; an extensive, in-depth look into the life and career of the of one of the finest directors ever. However, the movie is really just a dramatization of the making of Hitchcock's "Psycho," where in historical facts are accompanied by embellishments and simplifications that serve to add humor and conflict. "Hitchcock" centers on the relationship between director Alfred Hitchcock (Anthony Hopkins) and his wife Alma Reville (Helen Mirren) during the making of Psycho, a controversial horror film that subsequently became one of the most acclaimed and influential works in the filmmaker's career.
Anthony Hopkins is superb the title role, fitted with impeccable makeup and prosthetics, and Mirren is equally as impressive. This makes for a reasonably enjoyable watch for the audience, but viewers are unlikely to learn anything new of consequence about the Master of Suspense. I wouldn't suggest that you spend $10 on a ticket for this one, but a fine film to rent in a couple of months.… Expand
Jan 6, 2013I just saw this film and it was quite a lightweight. Anthony Hopkins, donning a lot of makeup that makes him look nothing like Alfred Hitch, reads his way through a weak script that attempts to chronicle the master filmmaker's struggle in making his classic film, Psycho. This movie isn't short on simplicity, but its definitely short on depth. It narrows this mystic, yet legendary filmmaker, down to a caricature and presents all his genuine human and creative struggles in a farcical manner. I was not a fan of that approach and the movie's tonal inconsistencies were also a bothersome thing of note, that's sure to give audiences a puzzling viewing experience. I wouldn't consider this film offensive to Hitch by any means, I just felt it lacked some incite. We didn't truly learn much about the man, by the film's end. While James D'Arcy and Scarlett Johansson excel in their respective roles, those were only small things to appreciate in this relatively poor film.… Expand
Dec 30, 2012What a wonderful movie! It may be rewriting history but it does it in such a beautiful way. If I was A.H. then I would have a thing for blondes too...
Dec 26, 2012**** is easily one of the best films of the year. Hopkins and Mirren's performances were superb. If you pay any attention to the trailer you will know what it is about. A must see film of the year.
Dec 25, 2012Anyone who can resist Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren at the top of their form is a better man than I. There are subplots during which the film tends to lose impact and focus, but it's not long before Hopkins and Mirren resume their master class in screen acting. Their eyes convey more than speech.
Dec 19, 2012Anthony Hopkins puts on a fat suit and lots of makeup to play the famous director, while Helen Mirren just wears glasses in the role of his wife. The story starts as he comes off the success of "North by Northwest" and is searching for a new project to inspire him and prove that he's still got it. That project is "Psycho" and the challenges of making it and the relationship with his wife take up the rest of the film. As any fan knows, **** dry, dark humor was his most enjoyable asset and this film gives us plenty to laugh about. His obsessions are also explored, but never too darkly. As expected, the performances are solid. The costumes and art direction recreate the period attractively. While the film has a glossy, surface feel, it's still enjoyable entertainment.… Collapse
Dec 10, 2012As fine an actor as Anthony Hopkins is he gets wiped off the screen, as everyone else does, when Helen Mirren appears in the new film **** There is a 2 minute scene near the latter part of the film when Mirren, (as Alma Reville, **** wife) that is mesmerizing and screams Oscar. Right now the two best actresses in the cinema world are Judi Dench and Helen Mirren and they are both on movie screens for the holiday with Dench in … Expand
Nov 30, 2012The legacy of Alfred **** lives on in his wide assortment of suspense films, some of which took their time to become classics, and others that became instant hits upon release. Psycho was one of his films that received mixed reviews critically, yet was adored by audiences, becoming a box office success for **** and ultimately maintaining itself as the highest grossing film of his career. The production on the film has been noteworthy for several reasons, such as the lack of studio support from Paramount, a change of style for ****, and battles with the Motion Picture Production Code. In ****, all of this is addressed and then this biopic of the master of suspense becomes a film trying to walk the line between fact and fiction. The world is introduced to a peeping tom, always watching everything, obsessed with blondes, worried about how his film is received, and married to Alma Reville (Helen Mirren) who acts more as a mother figure than anything else. Acting aside, the movie has but a few mere moments of entertainment before it slouches back into its attempt to craft a fictional life behind one of the greatest directors of all time, in an extremely boring fashion. Check out the rest of the review at http://independentcinema.wordpress.com/2012/12/01/****-was-apparently-a-perverted-worrisome-mamas-boy/… Expand
Nov 23, 2012It's a decent film, but there's just not a whole lot to it. If you're a fan of Psycho, specifically, it gives you a nice window into the financial making of the film. But the movie feels like it just scratches the surface of the truly interesting aspects of the filmmaker's life and career. Mirren is solid, as usual, but it feels like the range of her talents are a bit wasted. Hopkins (with his make-up artist) truly transforms himself (the actor) into larger than life director. It seems to me like the script could have been a touch more ambitious.… Expand
Hitchcock purists will certainly take issue with some details, but Gervasi's film shouldn't be taken as an ironclad factual film docudrama. Rather, it is fact-inspired fiction -- a film based on real events but one that isn't shy about taking creative liberties. As long as viewers keep that in mind, Gervasi's stands to be a nice bit of murderous fun.

Colic is crying in a baby that lasts for longer than 3 hours a day and is not caused by a medical problem. Colic occurs in almost all babies to varying degrees. Almost all babies go through a fussy period.
Infantile colic
About 1 in 5 babies cry long enough to be considered colicky. The timing varies, but colic usually affects babies beginning at about 3 weeks of age. It peaks somewhere between 4 - 6 weeks of age.
The crying associated with colic usually occurs at the end of the day. Babies with colic tend to be unusually sensitive to stimulation. Some babies have more discomfort from intestinal gas. Some cry from hunger, others from overfeeding. Some cannot tolerate certain foods or proteins in breast milk or formula. Fear, frustration, or even excitement can lead to colic symptoms. When other people around the baby are worried, anxious, or depressed, babies may cry more.
Colic eventually goes away. Symptoms begin to improve after about 6 weeks, and are generally gone by 12 weeks. If your baby still has colic at 12 weeks old, you should see a doctor to rule out another condition, such as reflux.
Colic most often begins at the same time every day. Usually, babies with colic are most fussy in the evening.
Colic symptoms often begin suddenly. The baby's hands may be in a fist, the legs may curl up, and the belly may seem swollen. The episode may last for minutes or hours. It often winds down when the baby is exhausted, or when gas or stool is passed.
Despite apparent belly pain, infants with colic eat well and gain weight normally.
Your health care provider can often diagnose colic by asking questions about the baby's medical history and symptoms, including how long the crying lasts.
The health care provider will perform a physical exam to rule out other problems, such as a hernia, intussusception
, or other medical problem. Further testing may be needed if the diagnosis is unclear.
Helping a baby with colic involves identifying and avoiding the things that trigger the crying episodes, if possible. It's also important to learn what most comforts your baby.
Possible colic triggers:
What comforts one child, may not calm another. Some babies like to be wrapped tight in a blanket (swaddled), while others prefer to be free. Try many different things, and pay attention to what seems to help, even just a little bit.
An infant usually outgrows colic by 3 to 4 months of age.
There are usually none.
Call your baby's health care provider if your baby is crying a lot. It is important that other, more serious, conditions are ruled out.
Call your baby's health care provider immediately if:
Do not be afraid to seek help immediately if you feel overwhelmed or have thoughts of harming your baby.
Your baby is likely to have a fussy period, regardless of any type of prevention.
However, good feeding techniques and identification of triggers can be helpful. If you are breastfeeding, talking to a lactation consultant can be helpful.
Learn what comforts your baby before colic may develop. Knowing what calms your baby can help stop the fussy period from becoming so intense.
