VEILED CHAMELEON (Chameleo calyptratus)
The veiled chameleon is very popular amongst reptile owners. They are a hardy breed, large enough to handle well, and stunning in appearance. This species can be found in the wild in the mountain regions of Yemen and Saudi Arabia. Most specimens usually reach between 14 to 18 inches (35-45 cm). Females are smaller with the average overall length being just under 12 inches (30 cm). Males and females both have a decorative growth called a "casque" on their heads. Veiled chameleons are tree dwellers and will enjoy a branch or two for climbing. The chameleons eyes work independently of one another allowing it to look in front of and behind itself at the same time. They have a long sticky tongue that they use to capture their insect prey.
Scientific Name: Chamaeleo calyptratus. Also known as the Yemen chameleon.
Average Life Span: Veiled Chameleons can live 5 or more years.
Size:Veiled Chameleons reach approximately 10-24 inches in length, depending on the sex.
Vivarium requirements
A basic set up for a chameleon consists of a tall, well-ventilated vivarium. Many people avoid full glass enclosures as they can cause stress from reflections and can create stale air from the lack of ventilation leading to upper and lower respitory infections (URI's and LRI's) Wooden vivariums should have a screen top and lots of ventilation added to the back and sides. It is a good idea also to replace one of the glass doors (furthest away from the basking site) with a screen door to create a better flow of air through the vivarium. An ideal size for an adult chameleon is 3'Lx2'Wx3'H minimum. Obviously, the larger you can provide the better but that is the bare minimum required for 1 adult. Chameleons are solitary animals so should NOT be housed with more than 1 per vivarium. More than 1 per enclosure can lead to amongst other things massive stress to your chameleons and can even cause premature death.
Decorating your vivarium
The inside of your vivarium should provide a sufficient amount of cover for your chameleon and should have plenty of climbing arrangements. Add branches, bendy vines and garden canes to create the walkways. The width of your climbing apparatus should be suitable to the size of your chameleons feet. If using large branches then wrapping either bendy vines of a smaller size or even nylon washing line can aid your chameleon in gripping properly and can also make your vivarium look very attractive. For your greenery, plastic plants can be used alongside live plants (although live plants are not 100% necessary). Silk plants should be used in small quantities as they can absorb the water from your misting device and chameleons like to drink from the droplets on the leaves. Some safe live plants include pothos, hibiscus, umbrella plants, ficus, Schefflera and Dracaena. Your climbing areas should span the vivarium so your chameleon can control its body temperature between its basking site and the cool spots. Good cover is necessary so that your chameleon can hide away should it want to - this helps to make them feel more secure.
Lighting and temperatures.
UVB lighting is ESSENTIAL for your chameleon. A good brand of UVB should be used and a minimum of 5 or 8% is recommended. You should give your chameleon access to a UVB source for at least 8-10 hours per day. Heating is best created in the form of an ordinary household bulb. Thanks to the various wattages available, the correct temperatures are easily achieved with normal bulbs and it can work out a lot cheaper. As with all heat sources, a thermostat should ALWAYS be used to avoid overheating and should you place your heat source inside your tank, a good light guard should be used also. Don't forget that chameleons can climb very well so make sure the guard is positioned so as to prevent burns. Your basic temperatures are as follows:
Basking site: 95-105 F
Ambient temperature daytime: 80-90 F
Ambient night time temperature: 65-70F
Veiled chameleons can withstand quite dramatic temperature changes and most households will not require nighttime heating - provided your temperature does not drop below 60 at the bare minimum.
Feeding and hydrating
Veiled Chameleons are omnivores, and can eat a wide range of live foods. These include crickets, locusts, silkworms, waxworms, earthworms - the list goes on. Remember to dust your chameleons food accordingly with a good quality supplement - daily for baby chameleons and 3 times a week for adults.
A good method of ensuring your chameleon gets sufficient hydration is to mist them with either a hand operated spray bottle or a shop bought electronic misting system. I personally use a normal water sprayer and give my chameleon a good spraying 2-3 times a day for a minimum of 5 minutes. Not many chameleons will drink from a water dish so there is little point in providing one - I do use one at the bottom of the vivarium to allow it to evaporate in the air (from the heat) which keeps the humidity up. Your chameleon should get all of the fluids it needs from the droplets of water on the leaves and around it's vivarium after you have misted. If your chameleon is dehydrated at all, then you should up the misting times to at least 10 minutes.
Overview of chameleon care
The first thing I would say to anyone wanting to care for a chameleon is don't be put off by the seemingly complex care regime. The easiest way to care for your chameleon is to get into a good routine from day one. Many people will try to put you off and the many care sheets out there can seem daunting. It is only as hard as you make it and in my opinion; there are plenty of other species out there that have stricter, more difficult care requirements. Veiled chameleons are very hardy creatures and can withstand a varying amount of range in their husbandry levels. This is not to say that you shouldn't research them first because you should but it needn't be a daunting task.
This is a very basic guide to caring for your reptile, this information is not exhaustive. Please find out as much information as you can regarding Crested Gecko care to ensure that your pet gets the most out of you and you out of your pet.

Hennessy Sport1st December, 2008
Carl Froch believes he can become a household name by winning the WBC Super-Middleweight Title live on ITV1 on Saturday night.
'The Cobra' feels he is in the "shape of my life" for his world title showdown against Jean Pascal at the Trent FM Arena Nottingham on Saturday.
Froch is back in his home city of Nottingham after last week returning from his training camp at the Breaffy House Resort Hotel in Castlebar, Ireland, where he spent five weeks with trainer Rob McCracken and the Hennessy Sports team.
Pascal (Canada) has prepared for the fight by training in the warmer climate of Arizona, USA, but Carl claims he could not have had a better training camp.
"This is a massive fight and I know that winning this belt will set up more big fights for me and make me a household name," said 'The Cobra'.
"ITV1 are showing the fight live at 10.45pm on December 6th and with their help, I know that I can become a household name by winning the WBC title, which is the most prestigious world title belt out there. Once I win this belt, people all over the country will get behind me and I'm ready to do the business on Pascal.
"When you get to the very top level, like this fight, you have got to make sure you are in absolutely top condition so we haven't taken any short cuts with the training.
"This is the biggest fight of my life and I've been waiting for this moment since I had my first fight as an amateur so I wanted the best preparation possible, and that's what I got. I'm in the shape of my life, things couldn't have gone better.
"I wanted to get away from home and the Breaffy House Resort had everything that I needed to get myself in the perfect condition to do a number on Pascal.
"The quality of air in County Mayo was superb, perfect for my runs and there were no distractions so I could just keep my mind on the job at hand. Pascal has the fight of his life on his hands, this is trench warfare."
Big Fight Live starts at 8.45pm on ITV4 & Carl's WBC title fight is live on ITV1 at 10.45pm
Tickets are available from the 24 hour Box Office at the Trent FM Arena on 08444 124 624 or via www.trentfmarenanottingham.com

The screen cap below can currently be found on the "Obama 2012 campaign's official home on Tumblr," where you have to submit whatever you would like to post on the official page prior to approval. In other words, the Obama campaign approved this: In this classless White House, between desecrating the American flag with Obama's ego, campaign t-shirts with the F-bomb on them, and the President's willingness to fundraise in Vegas the same day we learned our Libyan ambassador had been assassinated -- this sort of tackiness is becoming the norm, not the exception. Is "patronizing" one of the weapons in this manufactured War on Women? Follow John Nolte on Twitter @NolteNC

Officials are investigating the death of Navy SEAL Cmdr. Job W. Price, 42.

Then they jumped in the pool. Price could barely swim a 50-yard lap, Armato said.
"I said, 'You understand that if you want to be in the SEALs, this is something you will have to learn,'" Armato said. "He said, 'Coach, I will do that.'"
"Within a year, we swam competitions together, and he beat me out of the water," he said. "Wherever he encountered obstacles, he was determined and very focused. He was always up for the next challenge."
Price became a Navy SEAL, graduating from Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training in 1993, according to his biography, posted by the Pottstown School District when he became an alumni Honor Roll member in 2011.
He got married. He deployed twice to Panama, then to Spain, Germany and Kosovo and several times to the Middle East after 9/11 in support of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. He deployed in Bahrain. Most recently, he assumed command of members of SEAL Team 4.
He won numerous medals, including two Bronze Stars. He became a father.
Armato wouldn't ask him about his life with the SEALs. It was off-limits, and he respected that.
"I don't know what his life was like, or what a SEAL's life is like or a military person's life is like--when you spend 20 years preparing to be deployed or being deployed where you spend every day in a place none of us would want to be in," Armato said.
"He was very clear about this with me: It was important to do something that was bigger than the person. My perception is to do that for 20 years--that's asking a lot from anyone, and only the most dedicated and most committed are doing that. That's who he was. From day one."
On Tuesday, Price came home for the last time. His wife, Stephanie, and his parents, Harry and Nancy Price, were at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware for the arrival.
"His mom and pop had to spend Christmas bringing their son's coffin home," Armato said.
"Losing him--no matter how--the end result is, he's still gone," he said. "The end result is: His wife no longer has a husband that's going to come home. His daughter no longer has a father that's going to help raise her. And I no longer have a companion that I could feel very closely connected to."

Acoustic Calculations with Personal Computers Using Spreadsheet Programs
Acoustic investigations often require elementary but repeated evaluation of spreadsheet-like data fields. Since more and more portable personal computers become available, they allow rapid calculations "on site" or in consultations at construction, where immediate decisions are required. The presented paper describes the capabilities of spreadsheet programs for those applications. They may simplify program development considerably compared with higher languages such as Basic, Fortran, or Pascal, and provide easy to take in at a glance results.

text: The subject speaks for itself. :-) Robin of Gilwell is one of the most noble and passionate people I know. If he believes in something, I have to believe there's an excellent chance that it's worth believing in, even if I know nothing else about it. He has convinced me that, generally speaking, a college might be a Good Thing(tm) -- possibly a *very* Good Thing (tm), if we can repeat the successes of history while avoiding prior mistakes. Maybe he's romanticizing a bit, a la Camelot, but maybe he also has a point. I'm still interested in considering the idea. Robert Fitzmorgan has asked some *excellent* questions in another thread, "The Right Questions". I encourage everyone here to take a stab at answering those questions, which go to the heart of our needs in general (not specifically relating to a college). But I'm also interested in getting folk's opinion on the basic concepts of a bardic college, before we possibly resume talking about whether we want one or not. Replace the words "college of bards" with the word "car". Pretend that you've asked me to go out into the market and talk about cars with people, most of whom -- as it happens -- have never seen a car and have absolutely no idea what one is. Pretend that *I* don't even know what it is you've got in mind... but *you* do. Right off the bat, they're probably going to ask things like "What's a car? What would I do with one if I had one? How is that better than a horse? How's it work?" If I have no concrete idea myself, I'm not going to be able to answer their questions -- let alone get to the one I'd like to ask them ("Do you think you'd like to have a car?"). I'm going to look like an idiot, and it's going to be a giant waste of all our time. So... please take a moment to consider the following questions, if you will, and share *your* thoughts on what you think the answers might be. According to m'lady Alesone, we've got 130 voices on this list. I'm interested to hear some of those thoughts. :-) Please note the emphasis on *you* ("what do you think...", "what would it do for you...", etc.). I'm not asking anyone to guess or try to state what everyone else's opinion is -- just their own -- or to presume to speak for everyone -- just themselves. Finally, don't be afraid to answer. Please don't let the fact that there are several questions keep you from sharing your thoughts, if you only really have an idea about one or two of them. And remember, there are no wrong answers. These are just your point of view. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic concept: What do you think this idea called "college of bards" is (or ought to be)? In general terms at least, or specifically if you have specific ideas. Function: Whatever that thing is, what do you think it would do for you -- specifically, if you can -- that you and the current company of bards either aren't able to do for themselves, or would be done better by a college (whatever that is)? I.e., "What would you do with one if you had one?" Form: Whatever that thing is, how do you think it would it work? What form do you think it would it have? Benefit: Whatever that thing is, why would you want one? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Curiously, Michael p.s. As a courtesy to others, when you reply to this, please cut out all but the survey itself and your replies. Thanks.

That's one way to grab location value. A better way is to get a share of the all the land value in one's region. Owners would get all the value of their buildings, but not their site.

Beyonce Hugging Kim Kardashian Pictures at 2012 BET Awards
Beyoncé Stuns in Yellow and Hugs Kim Kardashian at the BET Awards
Beyoncé Knowles was glowing in a yellow Stéphane Rolland gown as she accepted the honours for best female R&B artist at today's BET Awards at the Shrine Auditorium in LA. Beyoncé had husband Jay-Z as her date for the night, and the power couple was seated right next to their close friend Kanye West and his girlfriend Kim Kardashian. Kim and Beyoncé had the boys between them, though they were spotted hugging. A lot of attention was paid when Beyoncé and Kim were spotted at a Watch the Throne concert together last weekend, and it seems that the women are actually on good terms. On her other side, Beyoncé had her sister Solange Knowles. Earlier in the show, Kanye hit the stage with his GOOD crew to perform their new single, "Mercy," and he also stole the spotlight for a moment with an a cappella freestyle rap. Kanye and Jay-Z kept their hot streak going strong by winning best group.

Apparently this is for realz!
I saw this all over the twitter yesterday, "Text -HAITI- to 90999 to donate $10 to American Red Cross relief for Haiti.- Well, it is totally true and apparently they have raised over a million dollars for the relief efforts in Haiti. That is awesome.
Brain Fart for Tuesday!
Wow, we had a lot of people stop by for last night's 'Stick-Up' in Murfreesboro. Thanks for stopping by. I even ran into an old high school classmate. Small world eh?
Time again for American Idol auditions
Hey, just about to head out to JACK Stick-Up #23 in Murfreesboro. Before I go, I was thinking about tomorrow nights American Idol Auditions. Is it me or are they the perfect train wreck to watch? Really,!no one gets hurt (physically), it entertains to no-end, and they are some what funny.
Bored Day Games
Why should the kids around here have all the fun? Us grown ups should have fun too right? The roads are frozen, its way too cold, and its Friday!.it all adds up to a 3 day weekend to me. Yep, there's no reason to go to work today!but when you stay home you realize one huge fact!Daytime TV Sucks.
R U ready 4 Snow?
Since the weather dudes are predicting the Nashville area will receive 2 – 4 inches of snow this Thursday, I went online to find any kind of helpful snow preparedness information. This is what I found on a website called eHow.com.
Step 1
....back to work.
Yep, back to the work weeks that includes 5 whole days. Seems like in that last month of the year, with all the holidays and such, the work weeks are cut down to 4 sometimes 3 days!.which I have absolutely no complaints for. OK, I haven't been on here since JACK's Totally 80's New Years Eve Bash so I thought I'd catch up. That was one-fun-party.
Y2K was 10 years ago.
Is that crazy? It was 10 years ago some of us were freaking out over Y2K. Crazy, I tell ya. OK, not to sound old or anything, but where did this decade go? So many huge impactful events and inventions happened over the past 10 years. Like the invention of Twitter, facebook....the iPhone, and stuff. The discovery of trans-fats and other silly things like that.
Check your programs....
Today at the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl @ LP Field, the Kentucky Wildcats play the Clemson Tigers....but the real story is in the games program. You know, that magazine they sell for the game that has the players/cheerleaders/coaches names and such in it. Well, if you are going to the game look for the JACK-fm advertisement in your Music City Bowl program.
Happy Holidays
Just wanted to drop a line to say Merry Christmas. Whatever holiday you celebrate, hopefully its way cool.
OK, I'm going to go watch A Christmas Story for the 2nd time, and have a glass of eggnog..
Get Elf'd
Hey, got a few minutes? Here's something that might help pass the time. I don't know if you'd call this an "App" or not, but when you go to the "Elf Yourself website" you can make one of these dancing elf videos for yourself or your whole posse. Just have a decent looking picture of your face handy (Or someone else's).

P.O.D. have stuck around longer than many of their erstwhile rap-rock bros by actively embracing the properties of radio pop: They've never shied from soaring choruses, nor have they kept their music free of the shiny production values that keep them from sounding too out of place next to Mariah Carey and the All-American Rejects on TRL. To make Testify, the San Diego-based quartet hired Glen Ballard, the platinum-plated producer with records by Alanis Morissette and Wilson Phillips on his résumé. Wise move: Now that the adolescent rage that fueled rap-rock's ascent among white suburban teens has transformed into the acquisitive zeal that motors high-bling cocaine rap, somebody has to provide relatively well-balanced teenagers with pre-game pump-up music. (How good at rage has P.O.D. ever been, anyway? It's worth noting that the band's biggest hit, "Youth of the Nation," detailed a Columbine-style massacre from the perspective of a victim, not a perpetrator.) To that end, Testify offers a bounty of glossy, hip-hop-inflected alt-rock--muscular stuff studded with jewels of melody that would've earned them sneers in the Decade of Durst. The best cut is "On the Grind," where the tough-talking verses are propped up by a cream-cheese chorus about the siren song of the streets.


text: Assad Won't Rule Out Run for Re-Election in 2014 Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 7 Oct 2013 post a comment In an interview with Spiegel magazine Syrian President Bashar al-Assad says he has yet to decide to whether he will run for re-election in 2014. He said he was not "in a position" to make that call at the moment. Rather, it would depend on whether the has "the will of the people behind [him]." According to Spiegel, Assad does admit mistakes have been made during his tenure as president: "There were personal mistakes made by individuals. Every human makes mistakes. A president also makes mistakes." But Assad says the alleged use of chemical weapons is not a mistake for which he will accept responsibility. "We did not use chemical weapons," he said. Rather, "he accuses" rebel forces of using Sarin gas. Assad said any claim to the contrary is a "misstatement," as is the claim that he is "a man who kills his own people." Assad said one of his biggest struggles right now is that "the West is more confident in Al Qaeda than [in him]." Follow AWR Hawkins on Twitter @AWRHawkins

Pre-BA stats: 36A, wide ribcage, 5'3", 117lbs, 23 yrs old Post-BA stats: 330cc Allergan mod profile silicone unders Will the projection of the bottom of my implants increase? Does the fullness of the top of the breast just disappear or does it move towards the bottom? Is the flatness due to the shape of the implant or because my skin is still tight? I don't want to be any smaller than this and I was wondering what size I should be able to expect after they start to "drop & fluff" more. Thanks!
How Much Will Settling Change the Shape & Size of my Implants? (photo)
Doctor Answers (16)
Too High Implants Will Settle and Drop To Normal Shape in 3 to 6 months
Thank you for your question.
Your implants look normal for early after Breast Augmentation. The implants will drop and fill the lower pole and create a nice normal profile.
Massage and Breast Implant Displacement exercises help-ask your surgeon.
The implants should feel progressively softer and more moveable. If they begin to feel tighter see your doctor to make sure you are not forming a capsule.
Web reference: http://drseckel.com/surgical-procedures/result-oriented-breast-augmentation-breast-enlargement/
How Much Will Settling Change the Shape & Size of my Implants?
This looks like a typical post op appearance, with high riding implants. As the pectoral muscles relax to accommodate the implants, and the tight breast tissue stretches a bit, the upper pole will decrease, the lower pole will fill out. The appearance so far looks good. It may take up to 6 months for the implants to settle.
All the best.
How long does it take for implants to settle?
I tell patients it takes a month for them to look 50% better, 3 months to look 90% better, 6 months to look great, and a year for scars to fade. Based on your photo, I think you will have a very nice result.

Drop and fluff

Breast implants settle
Breast Enhancement
They will stay same size but shape will improve
It looks like you have very little swelling but just the susal tightness that follows a breast augmentation. The upper pole fullness/swelling will decrease a little and the lower pole will round out or "fluff" which overall will give you a very similar size but a much better looking breast. I think you are on your way to a great result....in my opinion.
How long for my breast implants to drop
Your implants are very high which is normal at this point in your recovery. Over 3-6 months the implants will settle and drop, filling the bottom of the breasts more fully. You should get a great result.
Early in healing and breast implants
You certainly have a very nice result. You can expect your skin to relax and the breast implants to drop over the coming weeks to months. Give yourself more time to heal before making any final judgments. Continue the open dialogue with your plastic surgeon.

TRENTON, N.J. – Tracy Morgan has sued Wal-Mart over last month's highway crash that seriously injured him and killed a fellow comedian.
The lawsuit, filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in New Jersey, claims Wal-Mart was negligent when a driver of one of its tractor-trailers rammed Morgan's limousine van. The complaint claims the retail giant should have known the driver had been awake for over 24 hours, and that his commute of 700 miles from his home in Georgia to work in Delaware was unreasonable. The suite alleges the driver fell asleep at the wheel.
The June 7 wreck on the New Jersey Turnpike killed 62-year-old comedian James McNair, who went by the name Jimmy Mack.
Flavor Flavs driving under investigation
A New York grand jury will consider whether to indict entertainer Flavor Flav for allegedly speeding to his mother's funeral.
Flav, whose real name is William Drayton, was arrested Jan. 9 on Long Island's Meadowbrook Parkway.
Police say the rapper and reality TV star was speeding and driving without a license, a felony. He also was charged with marijuana possession as a violation. He has pleaded not guilty.
His attorney, Indji Bessim, has sought for several months to reach a plea agreement with prosecutors. She declined to comment Friday.

ChicagoTuesday, February 02, 2010
Well, I made it! I am in Chicago! My mom, the kitten, and I arrived yesterday afternoon.
Dex was a rockstar on the flight here. The wonderful Southwest flight attendants let me take him out of his travel case and keep him on my lap where he slept for the entire flight. He is such a sweet and laid back kitty. I love my kitten. And I also love Southwest.
My first night here, we ordered a pizza from the infamous Gino's East. For anyone that hasn't had Chicago pizza, it gives deep dish a whole new meaning. One small slice and you're full.
Today, I woke up to falling snow. It was magical. The temp was in the 30s, but when wearing a hat, coat, gloves, and boots, it felt perfect. It is definitely cold, but I love it. I haven't experienced 10 degree weather {or worse} so for now, I am enjoying myself.
We headed to Michigan Avenue to walk around and do some shopping. I love walking in this city. Back in LA, everything is so spread out. In Chicago, No.rth Face and Be.st Buy are two seconds from Nordstr.om, the drug store, or Bed Bath and Beyond. Everything is right there.
Tonight, we headed to a Bulls vs. Clippers game. For those of you {like me} that don't do sports, the Clippers are from LA. I think my mom was the only one cheering for them. I also think that I got a headache because I was so bored. My mom said it was ok for me to take off, so I hopped in a cab {all by myself!} and went back to the apartment.
I love Chicago.

November 26, 2014
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Police say they've arrested a 22-year-old woman accused of stabbing another woman to death in the parking lot of a Las Vegas bar.
Authorities say they arrested Sarah Chavez on suspicion of murder after the incident, which happened about 11 p.m. Tuesday outside of Champagne's Cafe on South Maryland Parkway.
The victim was taken to Sunrise Trauma Center and later pronounced dead.
Chavez told police the woman had tripped her boyfriend on his way to the bathroom, and that sparked a fight that escalated into a stabbing.
Police say a patron broke up the fight and held Chavez down in a back parking lot until officers arrived.
Chavez remains in the Clark County Detention Center pending a Thursday court appearance.

Fort Worth Opera opened its 2014 festival this weekend with two starkly contrasted works, each effective in its own way.One was a work in the mainline operatic tradition: Bizet's The Pearl Fishers, whose first performance was Saturday night in Bass Hall. The other was Daniel Crozier's With Blood, With Ink, a powerful drama with reinforcing music. It debuted Sunday afternoon across the street in McDavid Studio.Probably most music lovers think of Bizet as a one-work composer. His Carmen, whose earthy beauty and real-world plot put everything else he wrote into the shade, is one of the most popular of all operas.He did write some other worthy pieces, including a wonderful symphony composed in his teen years and some lighter instrumental works. But probably the only other composition by Bizet that comes close to being a rival of Carmen is The Pearl Fishers.Compared to Carmen's gritty this-world atmosphere, the exotic atmosphere of The Pearl Fishers, with its faraway locale and strange customs, seems distinctly other-worldly.The opera is set in Ceylon (nowadays called Sri Lanka). Its plot seems a little silly but is not overly complicated: Two friends (Nadir and Zurga) have a falling-out over a girl (Leïla). They give her up and reconcile. When Leïla shows up as a sort of priestess hidden by veils — she has been chosen to offer divine protection to villagers as they dive for pearls — the two friends recognize her and have another falling-out. She loves Nadir and breaks her solemn vow to have nothing to do with a man. Discovered, she and Nadir are then sentenced to death. In a final reconciliation (spoiler alert!), Zurga gives up his life to save Nadir and Leïla.Musically, The Pearl Fishers doesn't have the punch of Carmen, but it does have two-and-a-half hours of pleasant music. One aria, Nadir's Je crois entendre encore, is outstanding by any standard.That aria, sung by Sean Panikkar, was the high point of Saturday night's quite decent performance in Bass Hall. Panikkar's triumph was not unexpected. In his previous appearance with the company, as Rodolfo in La Bohème, he displayed a highly appealing lyric tenor voice and a fine sense of musical theater. His appearance in this opera is fitting: He's of Sri Lankan descent.The other soloists in this small cast were not put in the shade. Hailey Clark's light, agile, bird-twittering soprano scored points in the part of Leïla, and Lee Poulis' light baritone made Zurga a pleasant-sounding foil to Panikkar's role. Bass-baritone Justin Hopkins gave a decent account of the high priest Nourabad, the shortest role of the quartet of soloists.The Fort Worth Symphony under Joe Illick's leadership gave strong support (the woodwinds were in especially fine shape), and the chorus, despite some thin sounds from the tenors early on, contributed effective musical and theatrical atmosphere.Roberto Oswald's scenery — religious statues, temple pavilion, a beach — created a convincing Buddhist-island sense, and Scott Marr's costumes seemed fitting, though Zurga's low-slung pants created a sense of apprehension that they might drop to his ankles at any moment. Subsequent performances take place April 27 and May 2. With Blood, With Ink, whose librettist is Peter M. Krask, was receiving its world professional premiere. It's based on the career of a real person, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, a 17th century Mexican nun who was severely disciplined by church authorities for her proto-feminist ways.The opera has two of her: a young Juana and an older, dying one. The plot tells her story in flash-back. With Blood, With Ink has the power of a fine piece of legitimate theater; I found it gripping throughout its hour-and-40-minute length (there is no intermission). It requires more than competent singers; the cast's dramatic instincts have to be strong.The cast in McDavid Studio fit the bill. This was especially true of Vanessa Becerra and Sandra Lopez (the two Juanas), and Ian McEuen (the priest who becomes Juana's chief antagonist). Vocal and acting skill combined to strong effect.Supporting ably were Corrie Donovan and Clara Nieman as two sister nuns, Audrey Babcock as a friend of Juana's, Meaghan Deiter as another nun, and Jesse Enderle as an archbishop.Musically, the small orchestra under Timothy Myers' direction creates atmosphere rather than provide backing for set vocal pieces. Crozier's gift for this is substantial, though musical ideas tend to be brief bits, not extended declamations. An incongruous dance and some of the choral work were impressive exceptions.McDavid Studio's playing and audience spaces are small, but scenic designer Erhard Rom's convent library, lit by Sean Jeffries, worked very well as a backdrop for the action of the play. Period costumes by celebrity fashion designer Austin Scarlett added a touch of authenticity.There is no projection of the English text. Though it was easy to grasp the gist of each scene, not every word could be understood. With Blood, With Ink gets nine more performances, through May 10.
2014 Fort Worth Opera Festival
The Pearl Fishers
By Georges Bizet
Synopsis: Set along the sea of ancient tropical Ceylon, this 1863 opera has vows of eternal friendship put to the test.

Lives hang in the balance, as the jealousy of a slighted lover could prevail or the bonds of fraternal loyalty could prevent a fateful end.

Director: John de los Santos
Run time: 2 hours, 45 minutes (presented in three acts with two intermissions)

With Blood, With Ink
By Daniel Crozier and Peter M. Krask
Synopsis: With Blood, With Ink chronicles the life of an impoverished, illegitimate child in 17th-century colonial Mexico who rose to become the first great literary figure in America. The opera examines the irony of Sor (Sister) Juana's genius, which was the key to her success as well as the cause of her destruction. Through a series of visions throughout the opera, she recounts her tireless campaign for women's rights until she is forced to sign an oath in blood renouncing her life's work — an oath that ultimately brought her to her deathbed.
Primary cast: Sandra Lopez (Dying Sor Juana), Vanessa Becerra (Young Juana), Ian McEuen (Padre), Audrey Babcock (Maria Louisa), John Cabrali (Archbishop)
Director: Dona D. Vaughn

Cosi fan tutte
By Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Synopsis: Cosi fan tutte means "Thus do all (women)." Set for this production in the minimalistic art deco period of the 1920s, this Mozart classic is a persistent game of reason versus passion. Lighthearted deceptions and tests of true love between two military officers and their fiancées lead to comedic mayhem as the plot unfolds. When the ruses are revealed, will the lovers remain faithful or be fickle?
Primary cast: Jan Cornelius (Fiordiligi), Kathryn Leemhuis (Dorabella), Scott Quinn (Ferrando), Paul Scholten (Guglielmo), Kerriann Otaño (Despina), Tyler Simpson (Don Alfonso)
Director: David Gately

Tickets: $25-$200
Silent Night
By Kevin Puts

While the soldiers share their provisions and stories of their lives on one night, the war continues when the sun rises on Christmas Day. Based on the 2005 film Joyeux Noël.

Roger Federer needed exactly one minute to win the first game. It seemed an indication of how the night would go: Surely, he'd march through this quarterfinal meeting with the ever-athletic but spacey Gael Monfils.
The crowd expected this narrative. Many journalists had been predicting it all day. With a 7-2 advantage in previous meetings, Federer seemed confident. But if that was how it was supposed to go, no one told Monfils.
Monfils brought everything he could muster, pushing Federer to the brink before losing in a thrilling five-set match. Monfils won five points on five chances at the net in the first set and his serve hit 132 mph en route to taking the set 6-4. In the second, he only improved.

This article explains the 10 Commandments or principles of application in dim mak. This, being the backbone of presure point fighting, it offers the guidelines necessary to ensure you use pressure points for maximum efectiveness.
As with all things, you are only as good as your basics. Students of martial arts will know exactly what I mean, for example Kung Fu students will be well aware that if their horse, cat and dragon stances are not strong, then their art will not be strong. Dim mak is no exception.
If you like, you can consider these ten principles the 'backbone' of pressure point fighting. Until you become a master of pressure points, if you're not keeping these in mind, then you're not using DM to its maximum effectiveness, and you may very well be putting your safety at risk.
Reading through these frequently, until they are entrenched in your memory, and consciously practicing them in practical sessions, will ensure that they become unconsciously part of your applications.
They will be as ingrained as remembering to put toothpaste on your toothbrush before brushing your teeth, as putting your socks on before your shoes. In kung fu terms they'll become as second nature as remembering to keep your other guard up when delivering a punch.
If you follow these guidelines in order when practicing pressure point defence, you'll maximise your effectiveness:
Remembering these 10 principles of dim mak will teach you accuracy, focus and effectiveness while increasing your power and proficiency when using pressure points.

That muffled thumping you hear is a ninja warrior administering kicks to a dead horse. In this case, the FedEx Cup scoring system.
Let's dispense with my usual rant about how complicated and un-current the FedEx Cup points system is. The only way TV can figure out the standings is to project the players' finishes, even if there are still 54 holes or more to go. That's like predicting the final score of every Big Ten football game based on the first quarter of the Wisconsin-Illinois game.
Old news. Dead horse. Kicking.
For the sake of comparison, I've compiled the cumulative scores for the FedEx Cup competitors. Cumulative score relative to par for the four-week tournament is a far better way to keep score, and the only logical way to know where everyone stands at all times. Unlike the current system, which needs eraser boards and serious math and can't be followed along at home by viewers.
There is no guarantee that using cumulative scores for all four tournaments would produce any more drama than the current system. It might not have been as exciting, in fact, as the last three years. But we would know where everyone stood at all times.
My cumulative par system requires two tweaks to the scoreboard. One, in order to reward winning, each tournament winner earns a five-shot bonus. So when Henrik Stenson won the Deutsche Bank Championship with a score of 22 under par, my system scores him at 27 under par.
Second, for the nature of this leaderboard, a player must play all four rounds of all four tournaments. Anyone who misses a cut or skips a tournament is eliminated. Obviously, with that rule in place some players might have made sure not to miss an event. Anyway, due to this requirement, seven of the 30 players competing at East Lake are knocked out of consideration in my format. Missing cuts were Bill Haas, Billy Horschel, Dustin Johnson, D.A. Points and Brandt Snedeker. BMW Championship winner Zach Johnson and Steve Stricker are also eliminated, unfortunately, because they passed up the Barclays.
Two other players who are in the Tour Championship would've been eliminated in my system because their scores weren't among the top 30. Jason Dufner, at 12 under, would've been 31st and ousted. Boo Weekley, at a modest one under par, ranked 42nd and would not have advanced.
Meanwhile, eight other players would've gone on to the Tour Championship who were left out. Canadian David Hearn and South African Rory Sabbatini finished three events at -22 but did not advance to East Lake. Daniel Summerhays, -19; Kevin Stadler, -18; John Huh -15; Matt Every, Ryan Moore and Bubba Watson, -13, all would have qualified.
In my system, 20 players are within 10 strokes of the lead going to the final 72 holes in Atlanta. Factoring in the five-shot bonus for winning and even last-place Bubba Watson still has a shot.
Another proposal, and I'm not exactly who put it out there first, possibly Brandel Chamblee of Golf Channel, is to start the Tour Championship as is on Wednesday, crown a champion Saturday, and then send the top four point-finishers out on Sunday to play for the $10 million. That way, Sunday's show will be exciting because no matter who's out there (even if it's not Tiger), they're playing for, gulp, ten million dollars. That's a brilliant idea.
Anyway, here are the current standings to par after three events:
-32 Jim Furyk
-31 Nick Watney
-30 Graham DeLaet
-29 Jason Day
-29 Hunter Mahan
-29 Jordan Spieth
-28 Henrik Stenson
-27 Roberto Castro
-25 Brendan DeJonge
-25 Matt Kuchar
-25 Charl Schwartzel
-24 Sergio Garcia
-24 Justin Rose
-24 Adam Scott
-23 Keegan Bradley
-23 Gary Woodland
-23 Tiger Woods
-22 David Hearn*
-22 Rory Sabbatini*
-20 Luke Donald
-19 Daniel Summerhays*
-18 Phil Mickelson
-18 Kevin Stadler*
-15 John Huh*
-15 Webb Simpson
-14 Kevin Streelman
-13 Matt Every*
-13 Ryan Moore*
-13 Bubba Watson*

From the Van Cynical Mailbag:
Van Cynical, You have to choose one tour finale to write about—the one at East Lake or next week's Web.com finish. Which one?—Kokomice via Twitter
Easy. The Web.com finish has way more drama because it's the new Q-school for the PGA Tour. Guys are playing for their careers and a chance to make a living. The Tour Championship is all about which millionaire gets 10 more million he doesn't need. Not that compelling, if you ask me. Besides the scoring system, which effectively brought everyone back to the same lap like a delayed NASCAR race, is unworkable.
Van Cynical, Trump is trying to build a course near my home in Virginia. Should I be happy or sad?—Andrew Polson via Twitter
Both. You should be happy, AP, because your real estate value is about to go up. You should be sad because golf shouldn't cost $250 a round or $200,000 a year to be a member. We screwed up by not being filthy rich. Our bad. But that's capitalism.
Vans, Do players care for the FedEx Cup title or just the $10 million? And if poorly attended events from the regular season got together and gave the top money-winner combined from those events $10 million, would they get attendance as good as the FedEx Cup?—Kristopher Barrie via Twitter
It's not just the $10 million, Kris, it's the total $35 million FedEx Cup payout. Like Oprah says, "Everybody gets a check! You! And you! And you! And you!..." The guy who finishes 10th in FedEx points still gets $500,000. Who doesn't like free money? By attendance, I assume you mean player attendance. The top players show up for this because it's practically mandated. As far as crowd attendance, that's pretty sporadic in the fall. Some events do OK -- Deutsche Bank kills it on Labor Day weekend -- and some don't. If you put together a second $10 million playoff, you'd draw some players. The problem would be finding room on the schedule. It would have to be the window between the Masters and the U.S. Open, and you've already got the Players in there. Something like Valero, Harbour Town, Byron and Colonial or New Orleans. You'd get some but not all of the top players. It would be an interesting experiment. And I don't know where the hell the $35 million bonus pool would come from.
Van Sickle, Who are the biggest surprises at East Lake and who's the biggest surprise who didn't make it? Also, would you rather shoot 59 or win the tournament?—Derek Lewis via Twitter
Anyone remember the Jethro Bodine-like tale of Boo Weekley? Boo quietly made the comeback of the year and is at East Lake. That was a surprise. It was also a surprise that Steve Stricker went to part-time status and still finished sixth. That's impressive. Also have to tip the hat to Canadian Graham DeLaet, who is seventh and was little known a year ago. I'm not sure rookie Jordan Spieth still qualifies as a surprise but what a stunning rise he's had. Among the shocking missing are former No. 1s Rory McIlroy (I told you not to switch the ball, the irons AND the driver at the same time!) and Lee Westwood, Bubba Watson and marketing legend Rickie Fowler. There's no prize for shooting 59, only trophies for wins. Any player would trade a 59 for a win. Plus, how'd you like to shoot 59 and still not win? That would kinda suck.
Vans, I can't believe the Ryder Cup is passing up Poxabogue for Bethpage. Kidding. But what's your favorite Long Island golf course?—Tom Green via Twitter
From what I saw of the Walker Cup, it's got to be National Golf Links. I haven't played it yet but I'm open to invitations. Of those I have played, I'd love to go back to Shinnecock Hills, Atlantic and Maidstone. Shinnecock has got to be in anyone's top ten in the country.

November 26, 2014
LACKAWANNA, N.Y. (AP) -- The lone American killed in yesterday's attack on the U.S. Embassy in Yemen was an 18-year-old high school senior who had gone overseas for an arranged marriage.
Susan Elbaneh (el-BAHN'-uh) had gone abroad last month to marry a Yemeni man, who was also killed in the attack. The couple was planning to return to live in New York and was at the embassy to fill out paperwork for her husband's move.
Grieving relatives and friends have gathered at the family's home in Lackawanna, New York, near Buffalo. Elbaneh was born in the U.S. and raised in the town.
She was related to an alleged member of a group of Yemeni-American men who traveled to an al-Qaida training camp in 2001. But relatives stress neither she nor they have had any contact with the man, who is in Yemeni custody after being convicted of planning attacks on oil installations.

A little about me...
I am retired military and currently a commercial airline pilot. I am legally separated, spending quality time with my 11 year old son. I am seeking adult companionship and friendship. I have realized through lifes mistakes that for a relationship to be successful you must have a physical spark but must also spend time together enjoying similar interests. I am looking for a casual relationship where I can spend time with someone doing things we both enjoy. If casual turns to serious, great; it was meant to be. If not, I have a friend and good memories. I am a quiet sort but enjoy thrill seeking adventures and travel (as well as quiet evenings). Dinner, movies, comedy shows, travel and the Cowboys to name a few.
About the one I'm looking for...
I am in search of a friend that enjoys similiar interests and is missing a close social and intimate relationship. Life is too short. Let's have some fun and see if we are meant to share an active, exciting life together.
I'd just like to add...
I enjoy travel, dining out, motorcycles, camping and hiking and other outdoor activities. I have scuba and sky-dived and would like to take it up again. I am a novice snow-skier, but enjoy it. I like movies and quiet evenings at home. Got a hottub? I've started to take out the cookbooks. I run to stay fit and want to run a half-marathon one day. My ideal retirement location would be a log home in the mountains; spectacular views, clean air and those closeby outdoor activities.

Liver Biopsy Side Effects
The liver is one of the prominent and largest organs, situated in the right upper abdomen, underneath the rib cage. It performs several functions that are critical to life.
A liver biopsy is a process that involves extracting a small piece of liver tissue, which is then evaluated in the laboratory. Biopsy of liver may be suggested to diagnose a medical trouble or determine the seriousness of liver disease.
Procedure of Biopsy of Liver
Most liver biopsies are conducted in a hospital. On arrival for the biopsy (most often than not in the early morning), a physician or a nurse will review your medical background, encompassing drugs used and allergies. You may get an IV line placed into a vein so that drugs or fluid can be administered if needed.
You may be administered medicines to alleviate discomfort and anxiety. As your cooperation is required during a liver biopsy, you will preferably not be allowed to sleep.
The biopsy takes a few seconds as the biopsy needle is passed inside the liver and the sample tissue is taken out. A small bandage will be placed to the biopsy site; stitches are not recommended.
Complications with Biopsy of Liver
A biopsy of liver is a very safe process when conducted by an experienced doctor. The most common complications include slight pain and a slight reduce in blood pressure. More severe complications like inflection, bleeding, and injury to surrounding organs, are very rare.
Precautions after Biopsy of Liver
Following the biopsy of liver you will be instructed to lie on your right side, and an attendant will record your blood pressure and pulse occasionally. Many patients watch television or a video, can also read, or talk with friends or family members.
You will need to get someone to carry you home after the biopsy of liver as sedative medications are often administered and you will not be in a position to do any work on your own for some time. A friend or family member can also pass your time in the hospital during some couple of hours of observation after the biopsy of liver.
Apart from taking rest on the day of the biopsy, you should schedule to take it easy for the next five to seven days, almost a week. Generally you should not lift more than 15 to 20 pounds for this period of time, also avoid blood thinning drugs for a couple of days (as suggested by the physician). Call your health care provider if you witness any worrying symptoms, including the following:
Chest pain
Heart palpitations
Fever (temperature greater than 100.4ºF or 38ºC)
Bleeding from the biopsy site
Severe pain at the biopsy site or often in the shoulder
Breath shortness
Stomach pain
Sweating and weakness
Biopsy of Liver Results
The biopsy of liver report is basically available within a couple of days to a week after the biopsy. Call your doctor or schedule a follow-up appointment to discuss the outcomes of the biopsy and what treatment (if any) is required.
