A state of emergency is a governmental declaration that may suspend certain normal functions of government, may work to alert citizens to alter their normal behaviors, or may order government agencies to implement emergency preparedness plans. During the U.S. Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln declared a state of emergency in order to quell insurrection. Currently, Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf has declared a state of emergency, citing a need to quell unrest due to the actions of terrorists.
When, if Ever, is the Declaration of a State of Emergency Justified?
Zharkov writes:
The rule is quite simple, really. A "state of emergency" should be declared whenever my job is at risk because of my incompetence. At that point, I may need military force to protect my position.
Governments today, particularly American government, routinely declare states of emergency for both real and imagined threats of harm and natural disasters which the individual states might easily handle without federal assistance.
President Lincoln, in declaring a state of emergency over a potential for insurrection, violated a fundamental principle of self-determination. The Declaration of Independence describes the circumstances giving rise to a human right to dissolve a government that has evolved into a tyranny, fails to serve the citizens, or simply has become too expensive, oppressive, or annoying. There is no particular reason why citizens of other countries should be denied the same right to throw off a government which they no longer want.
When a true, democratic election in muslim countries can result in Taliban-style, theocratic government by popular vote, it's democracy. In some muslim nations, the people prefer to vote to impose a religious tyranny upon themselves, thereby creating revolutionary governments which seek to expand their power and influence over other nations, much the same as the U.S. does but with more or less violent methods. Real democracy for these nations results in the exact opposite, by popular vote.
Do not people have such a right to decide for themselves what kind of government they shall have? Or does the established order become so important that the tyrannical structure must be protected even at the cost of hundreds or thousands of innocent lives?
Do government officials have a some sort of God-given right to declare martial law to preserve their status quo to govern? Should dissenters be jailed or killed to preserve the paychecks and power of government employees, or should government officials step aside and allow a majority of the people to decide the future of their own country? Democracy or the Divine Right of Kings? And is it any of our business which kind of government other people choose? Must America be fully protected against any and all theoretical or conceivable threat from other nations?
Is there only one acceptable outcome from democratic elections - a foreign government that resembles the American model?
S in Washington, DC writes:
Given that Pakistan has been this country's friend, and far more importantly, its ally on the war on terror for decades, if Musharraf believes that terrorists are threatening the national stability of his country, who is the rest of the world to judge him, huh? Pakistan and Musharraf have been between a rock and a hard place, damned if they do and don't for a long time. I say, we continue to support Musharraf, Bhutto in every way possible-there is a thin thin line between what is going on in Pakistan and a blossoming of terrorist acts against western interests- Musharraf and his intelligence services have assisted western intelligence services many many times in disrupting terrorist acts against the west.
Musharraf and Pakistan deserves our assistance and support, for holding the line against terror, against insuperable odds, it does not deserve our opprobrium!
Dick in Texas writes:
In the 60's when there was such an uproar with demonstrations about the Vietnam War, I could see that a temporary State of Emergency could have been declared by President Johnson. However I have never read that this was ever considered.
Today we do not have the same tumultuous society as we had at that time. Communications today are also much better.
The internet was an unknown quantity. What help that is for overseas troops and assignments overseas to stay in touch with family and love-ones.
I think Pakistan is justified for the time being to have the state of emergency. How else are you getting this mess under somewhat of a control? Very difficult situation. For us too!
Ronald in New York writes:
Inducing States of Emergency
The United States has induced a state of emergency in Pakistan by backing a military dictatorship in the name of fighting terrorism. As a result, terrorism has grown in Pakistan and so has the unrest in this democratic nation. With the ouster of the Supreme Court Chief, and the failed brokering of a coalition government with Ms. Bhutto, the United States must bear responsibility for inducing a state of chaos and a breakdown in the rule of law. The United States government is inducing states of emergency in many regions around the world. Ours is a failed policy of pre-emptive intervention. These threats to regional stability are now inducing states of emergency on a global scale, and setting the stage for a self-fulfilling prophesies of mega-proportions. The State Department must admit that it is creating states of emergency by supporting military dictatorships. In our failed effort to deal with terrorism, we are creating more terror. We must stop creating these situations, and pretending they are caused by other factors.
LP in Tennessee writes:
In the United States the Federal Govt. grants, by it's Sovereign Right to the: States/Commonwealths and Napoleonic Code of LA, the right to use a State of Emergency to Protect it's citizens. Limits of travel due to disease, natural disaster and the new terrorist threat, even by Executive Order can you as a single individual be constrained to your home.
The death of President, as when Kennedy was assassinated was considered by LBJ. (Wasn't it automatically implemented until the swearing in?)
Civil unrest on the State and City levels were implemented in the 60's.
Today we have greater considerations: Everything from new biological flu's and possible pandemics to actual terrorist activity to do so damage the public and State in a variety of methods... and how you write a "limitation" or "constraint", yet still legally protect your country men without someone playing their "oh my freedoms are being taken away†is beyond me.
In the situation in Pakistan, there is an enormous amount of pressure to keep a "level†of stability for the sake of more than just Pakistan. This has "regional†de stabilizing effects that go far beyond Pakistan and not just politically. It creates an "insecure†environment for all "restructuring†programs in the Islamic world that reach into Africa; especially, for any Democratic political platforms.
As I stated about Darfur, this entire Middle East Campaign is more than just a "localized†situation. It is a war being implemented from the outside to destabilize any Democratic ideology throughout the Islamic world.
Sub note: While I appreciate varied points of view, there is a "bottom lineâ€, it's not that complicated: The United States of America gives Hope; the Outside influences here develop hopelessness with intent.
Khan in Massachusetts writes:
You've either misrepresented the facts or are ignorant of them. While the Western media has picked up on the fact that Musharraf declared a state of emergency in Pakistan citing a need to quell unrest due to the actions of terrorists, one should know the reason is in fact the Pakistan Supreme Court's impending decision to disallow Musharraf from running for President as a military man.
Also, call a spade a spade. This is martial law.
Joe in Tennessee writes:
The United States of America gives Hope; the Outside influences here develop hopelessness with intent.
Nothing can be accomplished in chaos and chaos is evil. Any action which brings stability is an improvement, not necessarily an answer. It is a building block.
The U.S. is not creating more terrorism. There are builders and destroyers and each brick we lay is purposely being destroyed. If you build a school, it is an element of hope; if you run a communication line, it's an element of hope; if you provide food, it is an element of hope; if you provide protection to stabilize any area of a countries political system, your providing hope and it's being deystroyed with intent.
Arafat was less then nominal as a leader, yet he was the only educated person who was recognized by the Palestinians; so he was kept alive and made a Leader. He didn't earn it; but he was the best dog in the show for the time and suited the greater need of having one source to deal with on criteria of responsibility to the people. A worse man could not exist as far as Iãm concerned, but in the world today you have to recognize that even Attila the Hun with a conscious (who would not use WMD) may a be a better alternative in some caseãs as a leader who can solidify and control an unstable environment and in time a democracy can be nurtured.
South America is a prime example. Everyone said it would not work, but from the 70's to today over 75% is democratic (for better or worse), over a 95% improvement in education, education throughout each third world country in SA is extremely high and longer life spansãall resulting from "U.S. interference" as some would say. Someone knew what they were doing now didn't they?
Now in Pakistan, they are between cultures of Muslim and Islam and always have been. The Mangla pass is almost a dividing line. The people within Pakistan either hold to Nationalism as being by Allahs hand or not at all. It is a political quandary of culture. Just about all the separation is over culture not who is in power; that is only a false premises used to generate and promote separation by external Nations of interest, not internal.
Can you not recognize that as soon as things calm down in Iraq, the situation worsens in Afghanistan; when the situation is calmer in both suddenly Pakistan is problematic, or Chavez raises some problem and any other host of countries who use the U.S. as a whipping board? They are sucking us dry monetarily, diplomatically and causing discontent and separation among us as a People. It is a concerted effort against Democracy in general, itãs not imaginary.
Can things be handled better? Who knows when one problem follows the other so closely? The war is outside the U.S. now, but it's not about our policies or any nationãs leadership, itãs about Democracy and I, of all people, would be the last to say so, but itãs so obvious it's pitiful.
I owe an apology to someone regarding their belief in handling of South America. I was young, golden and too idealisitc in a way that comes from youth.

As an employee of the U.S. Government, the Veteran's Affair's Medical System, I would volunteer for service as an FSO at the salary and prestige the post carries. I must agree with Mr. John Matel in his writings to other FSO's. You knew what was being asked of you, and you agreed. Now that you're, "getting the call", this is not what you agreed to. I hear from all our Reservist and Guard personnel, "I joined for the money to go to college. I never thought I'd have to go off to war". Right, as if they did'ny understand what the term ARMY or MARINE meant. Sorry gents, just don't float with me. As stated before. Make me an FSO, and I'll go, even though I hate suits.
Chaudhry in Pakistan writes:
No it is not justified at all. Pakistan is a Loving & Peace full Nation who is Desperate for Real & Permanent Democracy & Free Judiciary.
The Day U.S.A. stops using Pakistan Army to make Engineered Governments in Pakistan for implementation of U.S.A.'s Foreign Agendas, Pakistan will become a Democratic Paradise because Democracy runs in Muslim & Pakistani Blood.
Please U.S.A. Live & Let us live give us democracy & stop using & supporting Army officials.
If USA supports Pakistani people & Muslims around the World you will see people of Pakistan will give their lives to protect any US citizen life from any kind of terrorism. They will root out anger against all west through real preaching of Islam which preaches peace.
We need Justice U.S.A. , Please Do justice we are all Human beings. Stop your Wars.
Kenneth in Canada writes:
A state of emergency is justified in situations where insurrection is imminent. Viz: The situation of anarchy which led the American Revolution. The only armed forces that are legal in a situation like the insurgents (Minutemen) at the Massachusetts Gunpowder Warehouse at Lexington, MA on April 19, 1775, were in fact breaking the law. There cannot be any force that bears arms against the legal authority of the land, and which should be permitted to overthrow it.
So, if we are to discuss the legality of the why's and the wherefore's of where a state of emergency should be allowed, then, you Americans are well aware of such a situation in your history and not look at the present situation in Pakistan, as something extraordinary. Point made and case closed.
Kenneth in Canada writes:
If conditions deteriorated in Pakistan, to where they are today, just look at how it was arrived at, and by whom. Personally, U.S. diplomacy has never been one to tolerate anything other than its own policies.
If one talks of diplomacy, just look at the British career diplomats. They are a far cry from the U.S. diplomats, who in policy are not really very different to the Soviets. The difference is night and day, and career diplomats in the U.S. Dept. of State are nothing but gofers. There is no panache and one could well replace them with a trained Gorilla, it would suffice. I said this before and I'll say it again, that the U.S. Dept. of State is not run by thinking people, because their set-up is much like dictatorship. In point of fact is it a dictatorship.
Over the last few months, I take part in an international radio show on politics. I was invited to be part of the show, because of my expertise and experience in international politics. I say what I have to, because, if I am to make a point on any issue, I cannot hold back what I believe in or have experienced. Now, if only I could get on an American Radio Show, I would wake you people up from your extended reverie, and learn a few things. Right now you people are amateurs, attempting to look like pros, but you lack the experience. It shows every time an important issue is raised. It's about time that you in the U.S. got people with know-how to handle your diplomatic service. The old school tie and connections make you a laughing stock to the world.
I hope that the head of the Department of State is taking note.
Kashif in America writes:
Declaring Martial Law has made Musharraf look kind of pitiful because his reason for doing so wasn't as convincing as his other speeches which he has given for justifying certain actions of his. Musharraf shouldn't have be so naive to perform such an act when it is obvious that some of the vile politicians of Pakistan eager for power will seize this "state of emergency" to make themselves look like protectors of the people when almost everyone knows they are just hungry for power and fame. Musharraf like most other politicians seem like the lust for fame or power has gone to their head. Personally I feel that Pakistan should be run by a committee containing professionals in various fields that help determine the right course of action for Pakistan. An example would be Shaukat Aziz and other professionals or technocrats that can formulate policies that the public know will serve their interests. Too many politicians have made promises but what are their promises based on; rather than relying on politicians I would feel more comfortable relying on technocrats and other professionals who have experience in their own fields and can be held accountable. Pakistan's elected leaders have let down Pakistan so I remain surprised when I see video coverage of Pakistanis outraged that democracy is under attack while this same great democracy they follow religiously has let them down numerous times. When I hear politicians, no matter where they are from, taking credit for economic booms or advances in technology or other such things I wonder how much did they contribute to these gains or successes, when they open their mouths they seem quite clueless about the reasons for being successful but quite proud when they do occur under their political watches a typical characteristic of an opportunist politician. Committees aimed at resolving issues like these seem more capable then elected leaders seeking high approval ratings.
Peter in Illinois writes:
The real question is whether such a declaration is lawful and who decides whether such a declaration is lawful. President Lincoln got away with it. President Musharref in Pakistan has jailed the chief justice of their Supreme Court making judicial review out of the question for now. President Musharref has the military,the guns, behind him. Some believe that might MAKES right. What happens to Pakistan's nukes should Islamic fundamentalists replace Mushareff? Are we still deluding ourselves that we can impose our will or form of government on peoples of other countries? Has anyone at State ever read Emerson's essay on Politics?

WRESTLING: Dragons, Eagles cruise to wins
ERIE – Warren took advantage of seven forfeits and 42 free points during a 51-25 victory over the Strong Vincent Colonels Wednesday at Strong Vincent High School.
The victory pushed the Dragons to 13-5 on the season despite Strong Vincent holding a 25-9 advantage in matches contested on the mat.
"I thought we had some solid matchups on the mat and wrestled some of their better kids," said Warren coach Glenn Baldensperger. "Jonah (Hordusky) wrestled a nice match at 138 pounds and Michael Card was in control of his match the entire time. Garrett Smead also was leading a ranked wrestler late in his match before he got stuck on his back and was pinned."
The Dragons basically won the match without breaking a sweat, winning half of the matches via Strong Vincent forfeits. Alex Streich (220 pounds), Kevin Barsness (285), Glyn Mahood (106), Bailey Winslow (113), D.J. Fehlman (126), Chris McNeal (182) and Dan Henry (195) all received free victories.
Warren's two victories on the mat came from Hordusky and Card. Hordusky gutted out a hard-fought 10-6 decision over the Colonels' Jay Henderson and Card decked Strong Vincent's Mike Keyes at the 3:53 mark of the 145-pound match.
At 152 pounds, Smead squared off with District 10 ranked Jared Carlson, holding a 13-10 lead in the third period before getting stuck on his back and pinned with 1:26 remaining.
Warren will hit the practice room Thursday before starting competition at the annual Fred Bell Tournament in Grove City on Friday.

Youngsville 56, Iroquois 12
LAWRENCE PARK – Youngsville has been trying to win on the mat all season long.
On Wednesday, not only did it win on the mat, but it also secured its second dual match victory of the year with a 56-12 win over Iroquois.
"We've been doing well on the mat all season and that was the goal again tonight," said Youngsville coach Scott Ishman. "We won four out of the six matches on the mat and one of those losses we gave them a forfeit. The kids wrestled well. Zach (Ishman) did a nice job bumping up to 170 pounds and Hayden (Victor) chose to wrestle up at 113 rather than take a forfeit and he got a nice win."
Youngsville received six forfeits during Wednesday's win over the Braves, including those from Kris Wilcox (152 pounds), Nate Bickford (160), Stone Sivak (182), Jaykup Durlin (220), Austin Slocum (285) and Chester Ciukaj (120 pounds).
On the mat, Ishman, Victor, Aaron Hoover and Tristan Gibson were victorious.
Ishman logged a second period pin of Nathaniel Kightlinger at 170 pounds and Victor bumped up to 113 pounds where he was a 10-5 decision winner over Andrew Bachetti. Hoover was dominant in a 17-1 technical fall win at 132 pounds and Tristan Gibson pinned Iroquois' Jake Kruze late in the first period.
The Eagles (2-9) return to the mat Friday, making up a road match at Harbor Creek.

About this set: I have been fascinated with collecting Lincoln pennies since my childhood. I used to fill five gallon water bottles with pennies while searching for the wheatbacks. I was able to complete a raw set in the old blue books by the time I was in high school. I started attending coin conventions in the year 2001 with my son and his interest sparked my renewed interest in the higher grade Lincoln pennies. We set a goal of achieving an all red mint state set. The journey has been a long and rewarding one. It has strengthened the bond between my son and I as we have worked to assemble the collection together. Several of the coins in our current collection were obtained from my childhood set. I would like to thank Ira Stein, Jimmy Sprankle, and Andy Skrabalak for their guidance and wisdom and without whose help this collection would not have been possible. Each of them has contributed to our effort to assemble this set in their own unique way. They taught me patience and perfection are required qualities for a coin collector. They are all an asset to the hobby. In 2008 we decided to sell the set. Ira Stein assisted in the transaction and his help throughout our coin collecting career has been truly invaluable.

14 arrested at Hells Angels clubhouse in Rockford
Charges include aggravated kidnapping of child under 13
ROCKFORD, Ill. - Rockford police entered a Hells Angels clubhouse and arrested more than a dozen associates of the club on charges of aggravated battery, armed robbery and kidnapping.
The Rockford Register Star reports the arrests Friday were a result of an investigation by Rockford police that began in June. Authorities were looking into allegations of criminal activity that occurred at the clubhouse.
Police say the victims of the crimes were also associates of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Gang. After reviewing the allegations with the Winnebago County state's attorney's office, arrests were made.
Authorities say the charges against those arrested include aggravated kidnapping of a child under 13 years old and aggravated battery with knives, an axe handle and a stun gun. The child was not harmed.
The clubhouse was later condemned by the city.

It is officially NFL draft season, and there's no better way to kick things off than with a full seven-round mock draft.
Now that the Super Bowl is in the books and the draft order is set, the process of connecting dots between college players and NFL teams can begin in earnest. Some of that may change once the NFL announces the 32 supplemental draft picks awarded to teams that lost priority free agents last season, but for now, a good bit of the work is done.
How does one go about compiling a seven-round mock draft? It's not as simple as dragging and dropping the top-ranked player into the No. 1 pick and so on. My goal is to provide insight with each pick. What are the team's needs? Whom might it lose in free agency, and whom might it gain? What are its long-term issues even after 2014? What schemes does it run?
Much goes into making a complete mock draft, and yet this isn't about pick accuracy. A mock draft is about informing readers about team needs, player value and what the writer would do in each situation. Put it all together, and you have a ton of information at your disposal.

Crater Lake Rim Drive to get facelift
The near 30 mile rim drive around Crater Lake could be in for a facelift, along with adjacent spur roads and parking areas.
U.S. National Park Service officials say numerous cracks and ruts have appeared in the road surface and shoulders have eroded, due in part to the over 500 inches of snow the park receives annually, along with the 482,000 visitors.
The project would shore up rock walls, lay new asphalt and make traveling safer for visitors.
There is no timeline or budget yet for the work.

Slide RulesCylindrical Slide Rules
Writing a logarithmic scale in a spiral that is then imprinted around the outside of a cylinder allows instrument makers to lengthen the scale. Since a logarithmic scale only needs to run to 10 twice to include all possible results from adding or subtracting two logarithmic numbers, this means that the distance between the points on the scale may be increased. When any two numbers on the scale are further apart, the user may read a fractional position between these numbers (expressed as a decimal) to a finer level of granularity. For example, on a 10" linear slide rule, results generally may be calculated to only three significant figures (0.123, 1.23, 12.3, 123, 1230, and so on). A cylindrical slide rule may provide results of up to seven significant digits (0.1234567, 1.234567, 12.34567, 123.4567, 1234.567, and so on).
On the other hand, cylindrical slide rules were typically about twice as expensive to produce as linear slide rules, and the provenances for the objects on this page indeed suggest that, in the main, only corporate and government offices could afford them. A number of the objects in this category were received with instruction manuals and advertising pamphlets, which may be viewed in the Index by Makers & Retailers. The collection includes multiple examples for several of the objects, as the 23 items below represent only eight different slide rules, half developed in Europe and half invented by Americans. The cylindrical slide rule by Edwin Thacher, a Pennsylvania railroad bridge designer, also illustrates the 19th-century shift in production from Europe to the United States, as originally William Ford Stanley's London firm made the entire instrument. Then, Keuffel and Esser of New York City began constructing the wooden drum and brass and wood stand while continuing to import the scales printed on paper and pasted around the drum. Finally, K&E developed its own dividing engine for printing the scales and henceforth manufactured the entire instrument in the United States.

Keuffel & Esser 4015 Fuller's Spiral Cylindrical Slide Rule
- Description
- This rule consists of an outer wooden cylinder that both slides up and down and rotates. Two brass rings lined with felt are inside this cylinder. The cylinder is covered with paper marked with a single spiral logarithmic scale graduated into 7,250 parts and having a length, according to the maker, of 500 inches (nearly 42 feet). This length permitted computations up to four or five significant digits.
- Inside the outer cylinder is a longer wooden cylinder, covered with paper marked with decimal, conversion, and sine tables. A solid mahogany handle is at one end. A brass index is screwed to the top of the handle. A second, longer brass index is screwed to the mahogany base and marked with a scale of equal parts used in finding logarithms. A third, removable, nickel-plated brass cylinder is inside the instrument and attached to the base. There is no case.
- The tables on the middle cylinder include: decimal equivalents of feet and inches in feet; decimal equivalents of quarter weights and pounds in hundredweights; decimal equivalents of ounces and pounds in fractions of a pound; decimal equivalents of pounds, shillings, and pence in fractions of a pound; decimal equivalents of pence in shillings; days of the year as a fraction of the year; decimal equivalents of subunits of an acre; properties of various metals and woods; decimal equivalents of minutes of a degree in degrees; the Birmingham wire gauge; various conversion factors (mostly for weights and measures); and natural sines.
- The outer, sliding cylinder is marked near the top: FULLERS SPIRAL SLIDE RULE. Near the bottom is marked: ENTD. STATS. HALL; STANLEY, Maker, LONDON. The bottom is stamped: 1389. The top of the long brass index is engraved: 1389 (/) 1901. According to Wayne Feely, these numbers indicate the instrument has serial number 1389 and was made by Stanley in 1901. A white celluloid tag affixed to the handle reads: KEUFFEL & ESSER CO. (/) ST. LOUIS. CHICAGO. (/) NEW YORK. (/) U.S.A. In the 1901 Keuffel & Esser catalog, Fuller's Spiral Slide Rule is listed as Model 4015 and priced at $30.00.

- 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons smoked salt
- 1 fresh turkey (12 to 14 pounds)
- 1 bulb fresh fennel, greens removed, and bulb sliced
- 1 Meyer lemon, halved
- 1 head garlic, split through the equator
- 1 bay leaf, crumbled
- 1/4 bunch fresh sage, plus leaves for garnish
- 4 to 5 sprigs rosemary
- 1/2 bunch fresh thyme
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Pumpkin Sage Gravy, recipe follows
- Pumpkin Sage Gravy:
- 1 1/2 pounds bacon, cut into large dice
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- 6 fresh sage leaves, divided
- 2 cups diced fresh pumpkin
- 1 quart low-sodium chicken broth
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
DirectionsSeasoning Spice Mix:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
To set up the smoker: Take your turkey roaster and line it with aluminum foil.
Drain the applewood chips and add to the bottom of the pan. Put the pan over high heat on the stove-top. The chips will begin to smolder and smoke.
For spice mix: In a small bowl add the first 5 ingredients and mix well. Combine the remaining ingredients in a mortar and pestle and mash until you have the texture of coarse sand. Add this mixture to the spice bowl.
Prepare the turkey. Wash the bird inside and out under cold running water. Pat dry with paper towels and season inside the cavity well with the spice mix. Stuff the bird with sliced fennel, lemon, garlic, bay, sage, rosemary and thyme. Pin the wings back behind the base of the breast. Truss the bird using kitchen twine. Coat the turkey in olive oil and season all over the outside with the remaining spice mix.
Once the chips start smoking arrange the turkey on a rack and put it over the smoking chips. Reduce the heat to medium and cover the whole pan with foil so the smoke encapsulates the entire bird. Turn the temperature down slightly and smoke for 10 to 15 minutes. Once done, remove the foil and lift the whole rack with the turkey out of the pan. Discard the foil with the chips. (Make sure you put the chips out by submerging in water before discarding.) Put the rack back into the roaster pan and roast in the preheated oven for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the meaty part of the thigh should register 170 degrees F. If the legs or breast brown too quickly during roasting, cover them with foil.
When done, remove the turkey from the oven and set aside to rest. Transfer to a platter and garnish with sage.
In a large pan over medium heat add the bacon. Cook for 5 minutes until the bacon is beginning to crisp. Add the onions, garlic, 3 torn sage leaves, and the pumpkin. Saute until the onions caramelize, about 5 minutes. Pour the chicken stock into pan to deglaze and simmer until the pumpkin is completely soft, about 10 to 12 minutes. Once the pumpkin is tender, pour the gravy through fine mesh strainer, into a bowl. Press the solids with a spoon to extract all the liquid and pulp possible. Return the gravy to the pot and continue to simmer and reduce by half, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and add the remaining 3 whole fresh sage leaves. Stir in the butter and once combined pour the gravy into a serving bowl or pitcher.
Yield: about 1 quart

Ethics Complaint
Most clients are highly satisfied with the work of their interior designer, and many say they would hire an interior designer again. If a problem does arise, first discuss it with the designer. Often disputes result from misunderstandings and can be resolved without the intervention of a third party. If, however, you cannot reach agreement and feel that the designer has acted unprofessionally, perhaps even unethically, you do have options for filing a complaint:
- If the designer is not licensed in your state and not a member of a professional organization, you can file a complaint with the consumer protection agency in your state.
- If the designer is licensed, you can file a complaint with the appropriate licensing board in your state. (For a list of licensing boards, click here.)
- If the designer is a member of a professional organization, you can file a complaint with that organization.
All ASID members agree to abide by the Society's Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. (To view the ASID Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct, click here.) If you wish to file a complaint against an ASID designer, the process is described below.
ASID procedures regarding a complaint filed against a member of ASID are as follows:
- The individual against whom an ethics complaint is made must be a current member in the Society (the "member"). The complaint must be in writing, signed by the complaining party, shall state the matter complained of in detail, and accompanied by all materials the complaining party (the "complainant") wishes to bring to the attention of the Society (collectively referred to as "complaining materials").
- The complaining materials must be sent to Society headquarters within two years of the occurrence of the conduct which is the subject matter of the complaining materials.
- The complaining materials are forwarded to the Society's legal counsel, to review and determine, if the conduct complained of involves a possible violation of the Society's Code of Ethics, or might otherwise constitute conduct detrimental to the Society or the profession.
- If legal counsel decides the complaining materials do not involve a possible violation, the complainant is informed and the matter is closed. If legal counsel decides the complaining materials may involve a possible violation, the complaining materials are sent by the Society to the member with a request for a written response from the member to the complaining materials within 21 days. The response shall be in writing, signed by the member, and shall be accompanied by all materials the member wishes to bring to the attention of the Society in response to complaining materials ("responding materials").
- The complaining and responding materials are then reviewed by the Society's ethics committee to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to warrant a disciplinary proceeding. In making their determination, the ethics committee may request additional information from either the complainant or the member. A copy of any such additional information provided by a party will, if the matter proceeds to a disciplinary hearing, be provided by the Society to the other party prior to the date of the hearing.
- If the ethics committee concludes that a disciplinary hearing is not warranted, both parties are informed in writing of such determination and the matter is closed.
- If the ethics committee determines that a disciplinary hearing is warranted, then the Society shall send a notice of the disciplinary hearing upon the parties by certified mail, return receipt requested (with a copy by ordinary mail) not less than 45 days prior to the date of the disciplinary hearing. The notice of disciplinary hearing shall specify the date, time and place of the hearing.
- Either party may submit such other written materials they wish to bring to the attention of the disciplinary committee ("additional materials"), provided such additional materials are received at Society's headquarters by no later than 20 days preceding the hearing date. A copy of additional materials submitted by a party must be sent by the submitting party to the other party by certified mail, return receipt requested, so that the same materials will be received by the other party no later than 20 days preceding the hearing date.
- The complainant and the member may appear at the disciplinary hearing personally and/or by legal counsel and may produce such witnesses as they determine. The complainant and the member may elect to participate in the hearing via video teleconferencing or telephone conference call provided such technology is available at the site of the hearing and all costs as reasonably determined by the Society are paid in advance by the party requesting either video teleconferencing or a conference telephone call. In such regard, the complainant and the member shall each provide the Society with written notice, no later than 20 days prior to the hearing date, containing information as to how they plan to participate in the hearing, a telephone number where they may be reached on the date of the hearing, and a list of witnesses if applicable. Each submitting party must also send a copy of the written notice to the other party by certified mail, return receipt requested, so that the same information will be received by the other party no later than 20 days preceding the hearing date.
- No stenographic transcript of such hearing shall be made unless it is specifically requested and paid for in advance by the requesting party.
Note: The continuation of this procedure is dependent on the complainant's action. No steps will be taken without the complainant's initiation. If the complainant fails to contact ASID within 90 days following a letter from the Society, ASID will close the case and take no further action.
If you need any further assistance, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com. Please note, however, that while ASID staff is responsible for administering this process, which has been approved by the Society's board of directors, staff have no authority or role in determining the merits of any complaint.

quote boggy_b1Have you tested with many games? As you can see in my article, some do not show performance gains. In my case, it was Street Fighter IV. I suggest you test with the Unigine Heaven benchmark to see if your scores are similar.In your article there is a chart with tests on non DX11 games, as this chart reflects exactly what is happening to my crossfire setup I've thought the game I played (Battlefiled 3, multiplayer) does not support the DX11, but it does.
Could it be that I don't have the DX11 installed or enabled somehow?
Also, someone told me that the APUs low bandwidth could slow the dedicated GPU down. That's why the dual graphics works poorly.
Is this possible?
quote boggy_b1Hi boggy,Actually I have this two items and crossfiring them didn't improved graphics at all. In fact the video quality and in-game FPS was reduced as if I was using the APU integrated graphics only. Could this be a problem of drivers? Note that I've installed latest drivers from AMD (12.8 and 12.9 cat1).
Here's my rig specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-A75-D3H
Processor: AMD A8-3850 (with integrated HD6550 graphics)
Memory: 8Gb Kingston 1600MHz
Video: Gigabyte Radeon HD6670 1GB DDR3 128-bit
HDD: WD 500Gb 7200Rpm
PSU: Inter-Tech Energon 550W
I would be very grateful for a helpful reply.

Want to get off sugar�but afraid of cravings and crankiness? Head off withdrawal symptoms with this plan.
So you�ve decided to dump sugar. Just like with any break-up, you�ll need a plan to get through those first lonely days. One key to survival? Keep the extreme detox short, says Brooke Alpert, registered dietitian and co-author of The Sugar Detox: Lose Weight, Feel Great and Look Years Younger. Her plan recommends a three-day �cold turkey� approach to quitting sugar, followed by a gradual phasing back in of fruits, dairy and other whole foods with naturally occurring sugars. �We eat so much sugar as a nation, we no longer know what natural sugar tastes like,� she says. �So in the book, we say, �Let�s start from scratch.�� True, those first three days may be rough�depending on how much sugar you typically consume, you could experience headaches, irritability and fatigue. But here are some tips to help you push through. Stock up on sweet veggies. One of the biggest benefits of reducing sugar in your diet is that you�ll become more attuned to the natural sweetness of good-for-you foods. In the early days of a detox, naturally sweet, crunchy vegetables like carrots, bell peppers and sugar snap peas can be your saving grace in the afternoon when you�re craving a �hit� of something sweet. Pair them with a little protein, like hummus or nuts, to keep you full until dinnertime. RELATED:�Considering a Cleanse? �Read This First. Plan some pampering. Many of us formed the mindset that sweets are a treat in childhood, which can make giving them up feel like a punishment. (It can also help explain why we get cranky without them.) So when it�s time to cut sugar out of your life, be sure to build in lots of other indulgences, like long baths or DIY spa treatments, for the first few days.��It will make the detox feel less like deprivation and more like something you�re doing to take care of yourself,� Alpert says. Don�t sub in artificial sweeteners. It can be tempting simply to swap the sugar in your morning coffee for Splenda or Stevia. But if your long-term goal is to break your dependence on sweets, that trick will actually work against you. Artificial sweeteners tend to taste much sweeter than sugar�in some cases up to 10 times�which can make you crave that sensation more rather than less. �You no longer know what sweetness is like,� Alpert says. �Apples and berries should taste sweet enough.� Can�t stomach the thought of your coffee without sweetener? Alpert suggests trying it iced, which can take the edge off the bitter flavor. RELATED:�Addicted to Sugar? Make a date for a fun fitness activity. You may feel low on energy when you first cut sugar out of your life, which will make it easier to talk yourself out of your usual treadmill workout. But exercise will give you a boost of energy�and feel-good endorphins�you desperately need. So, take the opportunity to finally cash in that Groupon for aerial yoga lessons, a stand-up paddleboarding excursion or some other fun fitness class you�ve been telling yourself you�d try for months. Better still, arrange to meet a friend there so you can�t back out when the ice cream shop is calling instead. Try out new varieties of tea. Just as we view sweets as a reward, they�re also the food we often gravitate towards as a boredom buster. If you can�t distract yourself from the urge to consume something during that 3 p.m. work lull or just before bedtime, satisfy it with a hot beverage instead. �A cup of tea is a great way to add flavor,� Alpert says. Peppermint tea may give you that after-dinner refreshment you�re looking for, with the added bonus of better digestion. But treat yourself to any kind of tea that intrigues you in the supermarket aisle�try mango, berry, cinnamon, coconut or licorice. Brought to you by: Spry - Healthy Living and Wellness for Women

On Monday, we also did one of the water parks - Blizzard Beach. We got the whole shebang when it came to tickets, adding the dining plan, park hopper and water parks. I'm not sure we got our money's worth the the "water parks and more" option, although it really wasn't all that much more. We were so busy with the regular parks, and the pool at the resort was so nice, we hardly had time for the water parks.
But we headed over to Blizzard Beach for a few hours. It was, not surprisingly, packed. We barely found a single chair to toss our towels onto. And the lines for the various "rides" were pretty long - no FASTPASSes here! We tried a couple and, to be honest, were not all that impressed. I found the toboggan run to be hard on the neck. You go down on your stomach using this polyurethane "sled" but you have to keep your back arched and your head up, which put a strain on my neck and back.
There was a group ride down on a big raft that was fun, but hardly worth the long wait. And the huge water slide actually was tough on the tailbone. Even my girls complained of it hurting their back and butts after coming down it. And that was the shorter of the two, as Blizzard Beach claims to have the highest water slide in the country. But its extra long lines discouraged us from trying it and getting banged up enough of the shorter makes me think I'm pretty glad we didn't try that one.
But the big wave pool was fun, as was the lazy river ride that went all around the park. Just grab a tube and float along. For obvious reasons, that was my favorite. So it was a fun few hours and, as it turned out, the only time we went to a water park.
For dinner, we had another late night meal, this time over at EPCOT. It was nice to walk around the park at night, with lighter crowds. We ate at the Marrakesh, in the Moroccan ""quarter" and had a lovely "chef's choice" meal, with a bunch of courses and delicious chicke, lamb and vegetable dinners. The girls enjoyed their ribs (they have become real rib fans) and another busy day drew to a happily stuffed ending.

Don't get me wrong jules....I like Roger Moore just fine....it's not his fault they wrote stupid Bond scripts for him. The southern sheriff he kept running into in the later movies was just stupid. My fav Moore film was Man with the Golden Gun.......which is alway listed as his worst film...but I thought it was great. And you still can't beat Moore as the Saint.
But....you must admit you kind of went off the deep end with your review of Casino Royale. Sure, it had no plot...but a lot of action movies have a thin plot. The action was great. Craig was totally believable as Bond. Sure, he was rough around the edges...but don't forget....you just don't become James Bond right away. He would have spent all his time up to this point in the Army...from there into intelligence training. Not a lot of free time learning how to make a martini and how to dress and order champagne and foie gras from room service. This was his first outing as Bond. I'm sure in the next few films he'll be the Bond you are used to seeing all these years. In the meantime. Casino Royale was a pretty darned entertaining movie.

Sometime in the past two years, I�ve stopped buying vegetable oil. I didn�t realize this until my husband was searching for some to bake treats for Christmas and we noticed the expiration date from a very long time ago. What alternatives did I have to offer him? Extra virgin olive oil and coconut oil.
With this, I couldn�t explain to him exactly why I was only buying olive and coconut oils instead of the more conventional (and inexpensive) vegetable and canola oils. I bought them because they were supposed to be healthier, but didn�t know why. These trendy oils had stumped me.
Here�s the lowdown on the two trendy oils. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE

Despite of the fact that Nokia Corp. no longer plans to release phones based on microprocessors from Intel Corp., the world's largest maker of chips remains optimistic about its smartphone strategy. The company claims that it is working with a number of leading handset makers to design and deliver x86-powered cell phones.
"We remain committed to success in the smartphone segment and we are actively working with a large number of handset manufacturers and carriers around the world on Medfield-based designs. [...] Obviously, we lost Nokia, which took a lot of wind out of the sales for phones this year. We have redirected those resources onto a number of other major accounts, focusing on carriers who want their own devices and also on handset manufacturers," said Paul Otellini, chief executive officer of Intel, during a recent conference call with financial analysts.
It was rumoured earlier this year that Nokia planned to release a high-end smartphone powered by Intel code-named Medfield system on a chip with Atom processing core as well as Meego operating system. However, as Nokia plans to transit to Windows Phone 7 operating system, it dropped the plans to launch an x86-based smartphone.
At present Intel is promoting Medfield - the world's first system-on-chip for cell-phones made using 32nm process technology - among makers of high-end smartphones that require maximum amount of compute power which cannot be delivered by ARM-based SoCs.
"The limit in terms of them getting [Medfield-based smartphones] to market is going to be the interoperability testing of the networks at this point in time. So I think I would be very disappointed if you do not see Intel-based phones for sale 12 months from now," said Mr. Otellini.
Intel also reaffirmed plans to ship 35 tablet designs this year.

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 71 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by kitt great travel companion I am always needing a light jacket when traveling for indoor air conditioning and this one fits the bill. It is lightweight and I love all the pockets. I take this with me everywhere I go! October 2, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hilo Practical, well made, am buying another Last year I bought this jacket in XL because I was really bulging. It covers well and can be used with dungarees or any other slacks. The pockets are WONDERFUL! When I put it on this year, it sagged. I thought twice about buying another (because of the price) but decided that I'll give the too big jacket to our "treasure chest" and buy one that fits -- this time in olive. May 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by AnneYH Very hopeful.................NOT disappointed! I have gained alot of weight over the last few years. So, I realized I needed to upgrade my wardrobe. I believe you HAVE to feel good about where you are EVEN if you are loosing weight. BUT, it is had to find appropriate fitting clothing. I needed some kind of light weight long sleeve Jacket. I fell in love with the LOOK of this piece. I took a chance.This jacket is all I wished for! First, the fabric ( and I AM a fabric-snob) is wonderful! High quality. The fit is incredible! I am full everywhere.......bust, waist and hip. This jacket is flattering , with it's princess lines. Then you have so many pockets! The price is well.........."you get what you pay for"..... Can you tell...................I ADORE my jacket! June 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by cindysoldstuff Excellent purchase for my upcoming African safari. June 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by safari Great jacket for travel Very heavy, lots of pockets. Will be great in the UK in the fall. July 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rnjungle Best deal ever and just in time. Very seldom am I able to fit my shoulders, but the jacket was true to size and arrived just in time for my Alaska. July 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by vgrosenw Great, Comfortable Everyday Jacket the bush poplin safari jacket is a wonderfully comfortable jacket. as someone who is forever putting things away for "safekeeping," the 8 pockets are particularly noteworthy. i vacillated between the olive & beige colors, but the former looked brown (ick), so the latter's versatility won out. the fact that travelsmith offered it at a sale price as well as free shipping made the bush poplin safari jacket one of my best purchases ever. highly recommended! September 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by veganimal Glad I bought it When I was in the Peace Corps in Africa so many years ago, I had a beige safari-style jacket that I loved so much I wore it to death. Recently I was feeling nostalgic and looking on line for something similar, and the closest I could find to my dear departed jacket was the Travelsmith version. Since I'm just under 5'2" and pear-shaped (not fat, but nothing like the tall, slender Travelsmith models), whenever I can I buy medium petites. But this jacket didn't come in petite, so I was apprehensive. I figured that even if it was a little large in medium, I'd be able to layer clothing under it. I might have been able to get away with a small in this jacket, but I like having a little extra room. Also, when I buy long-sleeved items, I try to get them with cuffs so I can fold them back because my arms are short and even petite sizes can be too long in the sleeve. And this jacket has cuffs, so that worked out too. As it turns out, it's pretty perfect: It's great-looking (my partner tells me it looks Italian, which he considers a compliment), it has an elasticized waist that you can adjust (I like emphasizing my waist), the length is good (it covers my butt, which I prefer), and the sleeves fit with one turn-back of the cuffs. I haven't tried it with the sleeves folded above the elbows, and the fabric does seem a little too thick for that. But I don't care. I'm going to wear it as a long-sleeve fall and spring jacket. This was my first purchase from Travelsmith and I couldn't be more pleased. I even got it on sale! September 14, 2013

THE REGIONAL Achievement Tests for this school year in Western Visayas will go on, according to Department of Education 6 Regional Director Mildred Garay.
Garay said that the Dep-Ed in consultation with the different school division superintendents has decided to go on with the holding of the RAT for this school year 2011-2012 to assess the performance of the schoolchildren and to know which subject area needs to be improved on.
She said the order of Education Secretary Armin Luistro to discontinue the conduct of the Regional and Division Achievement Tests will take effect next school year 2012-2013.
In his DepEd Order No. 7, Luistro has ordered the discontinuation of all scheduled RAT and DAT or any similar assessment tools used by the regions and the divisions in the public system beginning school year 2012 to 2013 with the start of the transition phase in the implementation of the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum.
Luistro said in his directive that the "National Achievement Test held March every year shall be the sole assessment tool that will be recognized in measuring the performance of pupils and students attributing to the performance of individual schools, municipalities, congressional districts, school city divisions, provinces and region."

Oscar watch: Don't care if 'Brave' won, still not a fan
Sorry, time and an Oscar does not change my opinion of Brave as Disney/Pixar's biggest disappointment. The film is beautiful yes, and there are some marvelous Miyazaki-inspired visual moments, particularly in the shop where the princess gets a potion that turns her mother into a bear (yes, really, that's the big plot twist).
But the story behind the film that just walked off with the Oscar for best animated film? A privileged princess who doesn't want to pick one of three pre-selected suitors? A daughter who turns her mother into a bear and then has to turn her back, complete with a shamelessly derivative Beauty and the Beast moment at the end? I was so rooting for Paranorman, and its anti-bullying message about compassion for those who are different and forgiveness for those who have done others wrong.
I wouldn't have objected to The Pirates! Band of Misfits — for the sheer, zany fun of it or Frankenweenie for its story of the artist as a young man — the homemade stop action movie within a movie was alone worth an award. Even Wreck-It Ralph resonated with its message that you can and should choose your destiny and who you want to be. But Brave? Sorry, I stand by my original review. Brave was not brave — it played like a vehicle to sell another Disney princess, which I'm sure this Oscar will help it do even more effectively than before.

Most Popular Hairstyles
Black Hair with Blond Fringe Built High at the Back
A cap of short black fringe covers the front and top of the head but stops at the crown, where long hair is gathered and built into a conical shape. A single braid is wound round the cone, adding visual texture and helping to keep the shape. The black is relieved by a little blond fringe at the side of the head just before the ear, sectioned off by the fringe and the base of the cone. The outline is clean and seamless.

As the first A320neo (new engine option) jetliner moves into its final assembly phase, Airbus is taking the necessary steps to ensure a smooth transition from the company's A320ceo (current engine option) version – while factoring in the production rate increase announced recently across its single-aisle product line.
Final assembly of the initial A320neo flight test aircraft began this week in Toulouse, France. According to Klaus Roewe, Airbus' Senior Vice President A320neo Family, the NEO jetliner's industrial maturity is high – aided by its 95 per cent airframe commonality with the A320ceo.
To meet the unprecedented demand for NEO – the first delivery of which is planned in 2015 – as well as the continuing need for CEO aircraft, Airbus is increasing monthly production rates from 42 – already an all-time high for a commercial jetliner – to 46.
"We will reach rate 46 for CEO production in Q2 2016, after an intermediate step of rate 44 in Q1 2016," explained Daniel Baubil, Airbus Executive Vice President and Head of the A320 Family Programme. Production ramp up for NEO will be a steady increase from 2015 to reach the capability of being at full NEO production in 2018.
Simultaneously managing the production rate increase while transitioning from CEO to NEO is a task for which the various Airbus production sites and company employees are ready.
"Everyone is committed to demonstrating that we can deliver what we plan," said Mario Heinen, Head of Production People are engaged and motivated to make this a smooth transition."
Heinen added that Airbus has taken many anticipative actions to be successful and avoid bottlenecks in the industrial system and with its suppliers.
"The teams have done an excellent job so far: the first NEO has been delivered to the final assembly line at same quality as the CEO, which makes me confident," Heinen continued. "The true challenge is to repeat this aircraft after aircraft. We have to stay focused, vigilant, engaged and highly reactive."

Mashed Sweet Potatoes, Pork Chop with Cider Gravy, Sauteed Apples and Onions
- 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- Salt
- 4 bone-in pork chops, 1-inch thick
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 large onions, yellow or red, thinly sliced
- 2 Gala or Golden Delicious apples, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1 lemon
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup apple cider
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 2 rounded tablespoons orange marmalade
In a medium pot add sweet potatoes and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer until fork tender, 15 to 18 minutes.
Season chops with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, a turn of the pan, in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pork 5 minutes on the first side until deeply golden, turn and cook 3 to 4 minutes more with a loose foil tent over the pan. Remove cooked chops to a plate and cover to keep warm. Add another turn of the pan of olive oil, add the onions and apples. Season with salt, pepper and thyme and cook until just tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Douse with juice of a lemon and remove onions and apples to a bowl; keep warm.
Add 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet, melt then whisk in flour, cook 1 minute then whisk in cider and 1 cup of stock. Season the gravy with salt and pepper. Thicken 4 to 5 minutes over medium-low heat.
Drain cooked sweet potatoes and return pan to stove. Melt 2 tablespoons butter and combine with marmalade and 1 cup stock. Add potatoes and mash, season with salt and pepper.
Serve chop covered with apples and onions, gravy poured down over top, sweet potatoes alongside.

I can confirm that mixing the oils to the flour before H2O and yeast is better as Fran stated. Got significantly more layers with this bake.
looks really good!! was it a cheese only? or is there something else in there? interesting on the order of combination of the oil and flour. ive always added the oil after. i am gonna try it!!
Great looking za! Do you think the oils before water trick would help the HRI cloners get some layers?Cheer,Garvey
Really nice work there. Something to be proud of!

Basic Bengal Information
- Lifespan: 12 - 15 years

Medical Conditions Seen in Bengal
- Entropion
Bengal Traits
- Lap Cat
- Intelligence
- Ease of Training
- Grooming Requirements
- Shedding
- Good with Children
- Good with Dogs
- Chattiness
Bengal History
- A hybrid breed, created by crossing the Asian Leopard Cat with a domestic cat, such as an Abyssinian, American Shorthair, Burmese or Egyptian Mau.
- Japan is the first country to welcome Bengals as family cats in the 1940s.
- Bengals are recognized as a breed by The International Cat Association (TICA) - providing the show cats are at least a fourth-generation descendant of the wild Asian Leopard Cat-domestic cat crossing. However, the Cat Fanciers Association does not accept the Bengal as a breed for show competition.
- With the "pet leopard" appearance, the Bengal is zooming up the popularity charts, ranking first in TICA, far ahead of runner-up Ragdoll. More than 60,000 Bengals are registered with TICA.
- The International Bengal Cat Society and TICA work hard to maintain the Bengal's "wild" look with a "tame" personality.
Bengal Behavior Concerns
- Highly active and full of energy.
- Extremely alert and attentive. They watch and learn from people on how to open doors and cabinets and other behaviors.
- Look up because most Bengals love to survey their surroundings perched on high shelves and tops of refrigerators.
- Very demanding. They want and need interaction with people and pets in the household.
- Potential challenging temperament. Experienced cat owners can channel the Bengal's energy and intelligence into productive play and basic obedience commands.
- Be aware that some Bengals make growling sounds when they eat.
Look of Bengals
- Sleek, muscular body.
- Wild exotic looks, sporting 13 different color coats, including brown tabby and seal lynx point. Coat patterns are spotted or marbled.
- Wedge-shaped head, almond eyes, wide nose, strong chin and rounded-tipped ears.
- Distinctive "prowl-like" walk due to the fact that the Bengal's back legs are slightly longer than the front legs.
- Bengals grow slow, taking up to two years before reaching physical maturity.
Grooming Bengal Cats
- Coat is short to medium in length.
- Coat offers a silky feel.
- Medium shedding
Suggested Nutritional Needs for Bengals
- Their high-activity level enables them to burn off excess calories and maintain a healthy weight.
Fun Facts of Bengals
- A true cat burglar, Bengals like to steal shiny household objects and hide them.
- Bengals rank among the most expensive cat breeds. A show-quality Bengal can cost around $2,000.
- Bengals love to fetch, play in water bowls and walk on leashes.
Did you know?
- A decrease in cat grooming behavior may indicate they are in pain.
- Some cat parasites are transferable to humans.
- Many common pet ailments may be detected early and prevented by visiting your veterinarian twice yearly - saving both time, money, and most importantly, ensuring the best quality of life for your cat.

What ranks and titles have you held? Ring of Combat welterweight title.
Do you have any heroes? Fighters like GSP and Frankie Edgar always motivated me to take my training to the next level.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? Yes, I went to Nassau Community College, then transferred to Farmingdale State College, where I got my bachelors degree in business management.
