Undoubtedly the most highly regarded and beloved works in the canon, Puccini’s tragic tale of revenge and murder is renewed by the Met this season with this brand new production from Sir David McVicar. Sharing the role of the sought after Prima donna will be Kristine Opolais and Anna Netrebko. Sit back and be transported back Rome on the edge of invasion in this marvelous melodrama. As perfect for first timers as it is for seasoned audiences. Under the cloud of rebellion on all sides, Rome is in the middle of a tumultuous change as the Royalist regime is winning over the Republic. Whilst the merciless Baron Scarpia is rounding up rebels and jailing them, Tosca rehearses in a church before meeting her fugitive lover Cavaradossi. When the embittered Baron catches up with him he falls for Tosca, much to her anger, and tortures her lover in front of him. If she yields to him, she is promised his life under the guise of a false execution. But Scarpia’s meanness knows no bounds and before the day is out, all life will be extinguished.

I tried to calm him but the suspicion never left his eyes. Maybe I’ll try him without a twitch, I told myself with optimistic bravado. I picked up my plastic syringe of Ivomec paste, took a firm grip on the halter and gently eased the tube into his lips. He froze for a moment. I pushed in another inch and he exploded! He reared up! I fell back losing my syringe but tangling my other hand in the lead shank! He pawed and struck at me, hooves flashing on either side of my head! My hand came free and I toppled over backwards. He ran to the corner of the corral while I lay there with my heart pounding in my throat. That night I noticed a razor thin cut runnin’ along my cheek. A rough edge on one of his hooves, I guessed. So Close.

Tony-winner and Oscar-nominee Julie Taymor brings this innovative and magical recreation of Mozart’s The Magic Flute to life – complete with dancing bears and giant flamingos! The production is sung in English and shortened to just 100 minutes to form an abridged holiday version perfect for families. Pursued by a serpent in a strange land between the sun and the moon, Prince Tamino soon finds himself at the centre of a wild adventure when he is saved by the mysterious handmaidens of the commanding Queen of the Night. Sent on a mission to save the Queen’s captured daughter Pamina with a magic flute and bumbling servant Papageno, Prince Tamino’s trials have just begun as he loses his heart to the Princess and comes to realise that the nature of good and evil in this odd place may not be as clear as they first appear.

The first product to emerge from that programme is the prototype of the 4MW E-126 EP3 model, installation of which was completed on 12 August in the state of Mecklenburg Vorpommern.

"Like you ever miss anything." Calli tried the Mobius again, her front foot out further, trying to stay lower, and climbed, thinking she would miss and did, swinging back around, everything sideways, and crashed.

Commenter: Chris K.Student Loan BS Well, this is off the top of my head and charged with emotion. While in college earning my Pharmacy Ph.D., I worked more than full-time at several jobs in pharmacy to be sure I had marketable real-life work skills upon graduation. During my Grad School education I borrowed 72K in Student Loans from U.S. Department of Education "Direct Loans", and upon graduating I consolidated into the "William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program and got a 5% interest rate on the consolidated loans. It is rumored that these loans are held or administrated by Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, but I am not sure who actually holds them. At the time I thought this was a great deal for me, and a great deal for our society by enabling anyone in our country the opportunity to pursue higher education and professional skills and ultimately give back or contribute to the greater good. After eight years of having student loan re-payments automatically withdrawn from my checking account I was shocked to find my principle loan balance had not been reduced by one penny! I had only paid $48,000 in interest! I thought indentured servitude or debt bondage was a thing of the past. I borrowed money from FEDERAL, U.S. Department of Education Direct Loans, and I don’t dispute the fact that I am responsible for paying it back. I called U.S. Department of Education Direct Loans and they talked in circles saying there is nothing that can be done except, "to make much larger payments to try to beat the interest accrual". I am very skeptical of this advice and have been told that even though I have been paying extra above the normal payment amount, they do not have to reduce my principle amount by 1 cent. Apparently they consider extra payments "advance payments", and are not likely to reduce the interest I am paying or the principle balance. By their 30-year plan I’ll have to pay back close to $350,000 before I am paid off for the $72,000 I borrowed. These are not some kind of shady, back-alley private loans; they are U.S. Department of Education Direct Loans. What I am really angry about is that I am apparently not allowed to refinance it by federal law. That is so unfair. Something feels especially wrong about this since I have paid at least $160,000 in FEDERAL Income Tax since graduation, and I would likely pay close to a million dollars in FEDERAL Income Tax during a 30-year career thanks to my education. These tax estimates DO NOT include all the other taxes and interest on everything else my education has allowed/enabled me to pay to stimulate our badly mismanaged economy. That does not seem like a fair reward for being a contributing, educated, working taxpayer. All analogies break down somewhere but in this one I am effectively giving U.S. Department of Education Direct Loans/Fannie Mae? an interest free loan with my prepayments or efforts to pay the loan off more quickly, and not getting the benefit of reducing my balance or the amount of interest I am paying each month. That is WRONG, and just as bad as the rip off scams by credit card companies that the government is finally doing something about. I wish I had studied finance. Even though I earned an advanced degree and got a good job, I feel ripped off! I feel like I’ve be fattened up and harvested. This feels like blatant gouging and profiteering on the backs of students who would in theory, help to make this country a smarter and better place to live for everyone. When are they going to do something about student loans?

I dropped the coal bucket in the snow and raced back in the front door! I careened off the furniture like a bad billiard shot! At the back door I grabbed the big twelve gauge leaned against the wall and three shells that I had conveniently placed on the top of the window ledge. Crashing off the back porch, I loaded the gun with the relaxed ease of a 13 year old on his first date! The geese beat the air above me as I swung the shotgun skyward. Boom! Boom! The geese sailed over the barn like a giant manta ray. Nary a feather fluttered to the ground but my two horses thundered from the barn!
