How a New Jersey teen walking her dog helped save kidnapped man from trunk of car
A New Jersey teen helped save a kidnapping victim locked in a car trunk, police say, after hearing his cries for help.
Kayla Rose, 17, was walking her dog on Thursday morning when she heard muffled noises coming from the trunk of a parked car.
"I heard knocking and scratching on the trunk of the car, and I just backed up because I was scared," Rose told local station WABC. "And then I heard it again. And then I said, 'Hello.' And he was like, 'Hello, can anybody help me?'"
Rose said she ran to tell her mother about the sounds and alerted neighbors who called 911.
Officials took the unidentified victim to a hospital for his non-life-threatening injuries, WABC reported.
"He was shaken up; he was beat up," Rose's mother, Marie Banks, told WABC. "I guess he was very happy, thankful for my daughter that she found him."
Police said two masked men carjacked the victim at gunpoint the night before in Hillside, about 3 miles from Irvington, where Rose found him about 12 hours later. The men drove him to local banks and forced him to withdraw cash, police said.
JaVohn Berrouet of Irvington, 24, was arrested Friday, a Union County Prosecutor's Office news release said. He was charged with carjacking, kidnapping, robbery and weapon offenses after police said they found a handgun and a ski mask at his home.
The investigation is ongoing. Authorities are offering up to a $10,000 reward for tips leading to another arrest and indictment.

Here in the America, we live with a sense of false security. I think that other countries mock us and make fun because we feel like we are untouchable. After events such as 9/11 we realize that we are a little vulnerable, then we hear of "progress" in the retaliation and think, "No one will dare do that again." We are self proclaimed as untouchable, but it just isn't true. I don't pretend to understand all that goes in to this, but the truth is that anyone can attack the U.S. at any time. In history, yes, we have been blessed and guarded by God. Is that the case today? I guess we really can't know, but a brief look through the scriptures might give us a little insight. Though this be true, the reason for this post isn't to discuss our national pride or security, but to warn the American Church of the same. Much like the American people, the Church has been given a false sense of security. Continue reading "False Security"

Vain Worship
Hands held high, music sung loudly, and the swaying back and forth of the people in the seats and on stage is what we know as worship. Perhaps it's a bit more conservative and the hands are in the pocket or down by their sides at attention, instead of an electric guitar there is a piano, instead of drums an organ, and in place of a band there is a choir. The event is the same, and the goal is expressed as an act of worship. Is it? Perhaps for some, and maybe, just maybe there are the majority of the people who are singing praises to God. My question, though, is does He hear or delight in them? Continue reading "Vain Worship"

(Letter regarding Pat Kenny`s upcoming radio show)
Dear Pat, (Wednesday 21 January, 2009)
Strange times indeed!
Yesterday Martin Luther Kings dream was realised with Barack Obama becoming the first black president of the united States. Today sees Ireland celebrating, after much movement building based on Hope and Bold-ness of vision, the 90th anniversary since the first meeting of Dail Éireann.
But strangest of all is that we are living in times of such climate catastrophe, which threatens our collective existence regardless of nation and race, and in Ireland this fact is neither sufficiently recognised, nor is sufficient assistance given to those with visions for sustainable change.
Since time immemorial, the Chinese symbol for crisis has been expressed by the combination of the two words danger and opportunity. There-in lies not only a sentiment for Irelands present woes, but also a notion that these days could lead to something truly positive: an opportunity for our Green Isle to become a model sustainable community for both Europe, and indeed the world
We must re-evaluate our understanding and use of the words Progress and Health. We must move from the idea of GDP (gross domestic product) to EPI (environmental performance index). That being, moving from how much stuff we move around the planet and at what cost, to what is the environmental impact of these actions and how they can be improved upon. In short, we need to stop burning tonnes of oil to import tonnes of New Zealand apples to Ireland, and seek ways to develop local food production zones and markets, like Seedsavers or Dolphins Barn community garden, which re-establish community and tradition, while not costing the earth.
What we are calling a global financial crisis is the first inevitable problem arising from a faulty economic system, built on the absurd idea that infinite economic growth is possible, fuelled by the endless supply of cheap oil. Apart from the disastrous CO2 emissions of this approach, a direct cause of Irelands recent summers rains?, scientists have made it clear; World Oil demand has peaked, we are running out of it and need to quickly build alternatives to survive. Thankfully some exist:
The Cradle to Cradle approach, which is based on the observation that in nature Waste equals food uses smart eco design powered by the sun, and is developing and building clean eco processes and buildings. The Netherlands is firmly embracing the concept and US architect, Bill Mc Donagh, has been asked to design 12 new eco cities in China. Can we imagine what a Cradle to Cradle island of Ireland might look like?
The Transition Town movement, originally developed out of ideas from Kinsale permaculture college, has expanded rapidly in only 2 years and sees communities coming together to imagine how they will exist with less oil dependence. Recently Sommerset county council in the UK embraced this practical philosophy.
I am an architect and eco-urbanist who left Ireland 2 years ago and now live, work and learn in the Catalan city of Barcelona. Prior to that I was involved with a group seeking to make the Botanic Spine, that being an 18km eco corridor, bikeway and linked route of food gardens joining Dublins 2 canals, the Phoenix park and the derelict train line that splits Cabra in two. With a bit of vision and support from the government, this ring could be a major catalyst for change that might help Ireland realise her opportunity, and take another BOLD and Visionary step, in these troubled times: to attempt to become Europes Green Isle.
Duncan O`Cruadhlaoich, architect, EIG (eco intelligent growth), Barcelona
The above letter was sent to Pat Kenny, after a request on his show last Monday for people to send in ideas for a Brainstorming session to try to get us (Ireland) out of this (economic) mess, in light of the current economic crisis that has gripped the country, for Fridays show which will be a 2 hour discussion resulting from such inputs. Email Pat if you want to add your views.
Today With Pat Kenny -

A randomized controlled trial to compare cure and relapse rate of paucibacillary multidrug therapy with monthly rifampicin, ofloxacin, and minocycline among paucibacillary leprosy patients in Agra District, India
1 Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, National JALMA Institute for Leprosy and Other Mycobacterial Diseases (ICMR), Agra, India2 Clinical Division, National JALMA Institute for Leprosy, Agra, India
Correspondence Address:Dr. Anil KumarDepartment of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, National JALMA Institute for Leprosy and Other Mycobacterial Diseases (ICMR), Agra IndiaSource of Support: None, Conflict of Interest: NoneCheck2DOI: 10.4103/0378-6323.159929Clinical trial registration REF/2013/11/005995 dated 22/11/2013
Source of Support: None, Conflict of Interest: None
Clinical trial registration REF/2013/11/005995 dated 22/11/2013
Objectives: To study cure rate and relapse rate of standard World Health Organization paucibacillary multidrug therapy (PB-MDT) with monthly rifampicin, ofloxacin, and minocycline for six months (ROM-6) among paucibacillary leprosy patients. Methods: A total of 268 patients, detected during active search in Agra district during 2001-2004, who had paucibacillary (PB) leprosy having 1-5 skin lesions and/or one nerve thickening/tenderness, were allocated, using random number tables, to two treatment groups; PB-MDT and ROM-6. On the first day of the month, dose of PB-MDT and of the ROM were given under supervision for 6 months. After completion of drug therapy, patients were followed every 6 months for first 5 years and later annually for next 3 years for monitoring disease status, cure rates, reactions and relapses. Cηi σθuαρε test was used to compare relapse rates. Results: The cure rate at 2 years was 99% in ROM-6 and 97.0% in PB-MDT group, of those who completed treatment and the difference was statistically not significant. At 5 years, only 88 patients in PB-MDT group and 90 patients in ROM-6 group could be followed; all were observed to be cured. However, during the period of 5-8 years, 3 of 67 patients in PB-MDT group and 1 of 73 in ROM-6 group were observed to have relapsed. In all, 10 relapses were noted (3 in ROM-6 and 7 in PB-MDT group) giving a relapse rate of 1.10/100 person years in PB-MDT and 0.435/100 person years in ROM groups (P = 0.053 ; statistically not significant). Of the 10 relapses, 5 occurred within 5 years (3 in PB-MDT group and 2 in ROM-6), 4 during 5-8 years (3 in PB-MDT and 1 in ROM-6), and 1 occurred in MDT group after 8 years. Limitation: A number of patients were lost to follow up after release from treatment and thus actual number of relapses in the study could not be assessed. Additionally, diagnosis was purely clinical and histology could not be done for reasons related to functional difficulties in the field. Conclusion: The study shows that PB-MDT and ROM-6 have almost similar acceptability, cure rate and relapse rate.
Keywords: Minocycline, multidrug therapy, ofloxacin, paucibacillary leprosy, rifampicin

Varsity boys soccer coach Mike Skordos plans to step down next season from coaching
With 27 years of coaching experience under his belt, head varsity soccer coach and special education resource teacher Michael Skordos plans to step down from coaching at the end of this year to spend more time with his family.
Skordos has won four district titles during the 11 years he has been head coach.
"I was able to coach four teams who dug deep and turned it up in the playoffs and won those four titles," Skordos said. "Whenever we won, as a coach, I took great pride that our team could represent the school."
Before coming to West, Skordos coached seven years at Alton Marquette, nine years at Hazelwood Central and one year at Parkway Central along with several years coaching Lou Fusz, Panathinaikos and a Catholic Youth Council (CYC) team.
"Coaching for so long has taught me to keep learning. You are always constantly learning from our success but also from our mistakes," Skordos said. "The game is not the same when I started coaching in 1992 as it is now. Players are working harder. As as a coach, I had to keep up with the game."
Junior Matt Loaney appreciates all the time and dedication Skordos has put into coaching.
"Skordos gives us a lot of stuff like jerseys and buys us food after games to show how proud he is just because he cares so much," Loaney said. "It shows his dedication to soccer and that it is his priority and that encourages us to all want to be there and to pick each other up during the harder times."
Skordos feels that he is very fortunate to have coached the boys and helped influence their lives as soccer players.
"Being the head coach is a big responsibility, however it was an honor to be in charge of the [boys soccer] program," Skordos said. "I just hope that these players keep soccer in their life in the future."

I've had a few request to write a summer Paris style, sorry it's taken me so long to make one!
The rules will be relatively similar to the fall/winter one. Neutral colors are a MUST. I started off the last post with why dressing more Parisian can help your vacation, if you want to see that post click here. Also note, this is just my take on style here, you can wear literally whatever your heart desires, but if you're trying to look more Parisian, read ahead.
Dressing like a tourist attracts more attention to yourself. You will stand out, and not in a good way. Pickpockets, robbers, and scammers search for people who look like tourists to rob from. You're essentially adding a target on your back.
If you're in a touristy area and look like a tourist, many people will assume you are, and maybe will only speak to you in English(can be a positive or negative depending on how you view it, I see that as a negative). They also might not speak to you in French(huge negative if you're really wanting to speak French).
By not dressing similarly to Parisians, some people might assume you're a tourist and they could be more rude to you just because you look like a tourist. They might think that you're just going to leave anyways or that it's expected for the locals to be rude.
the DO NOT WEAR
There's a few items on my list that I absolutely agree with, and there's some that actually make me sad. I tested out one of my theories this week, and got interesting results. On Monday, I wore a pair of strappy sandals with a medium sized heel. Nobody stared at me, and I didn't feel uncomfortable. Today I wore a pair of flat sandals, and so many people stared at my feet like I was a raging lunatic for wearing sandals. It could be 30 C and Parisians would still for the most part, wear closed toe shoes.
- athleisure (literally nobody besides Americans wear this shit in Paris, unless they're actually going to workout)
- flat sandals
- jean shorts/shorts in general
- baseball caps
What TO Wear
I can't list everything you should wear, because it's so personal but here are a few things I think are perfect here in the summer time. My style is pretty much vintage denim and t-shirts, or flowy blouses. It's so great to find either brands or people on instagram that you love their style, and then just try to emulate it! For myself, I'm obsessed with Anine Bing, and I've been really liking some Instagrammers from Los Angeles!
- flowy silky skirts, VERY in right now
- vintage jeans or normal jeans
- LOTS of t-shirts
- flowy blouses
- sun dresses
- leather jacket
- white jeans
- lightweight jacket
- white sneakers/white converse
- strappy heeled sandals
- mules
Here's some photo inspiration of some of my fav instagrammers, and a few photos of myself!
I hope this little post has helped you with what you'll wear in Paris in the summer! If you have any questions, ask me in the comments below!!

Thanks for the photos Shelley!!ReplyDelete
I had read about this display in Makeup Artist Magazine and would have loved to see it. Alas I am on the wrong side of the Country.
I agree that Rick baker is such a talent. There are alot of excellent makeup artists in the industry but you can always tell a Baker project. :)
Take care have a great day!
Thanks Chris, You would have loved the show in person. I actually found this fellow below had shot NEARLY every item in the show and posted them to his site, plus his camera was higher resolution, so perhaps you'd also like to look there:ReplyDelete

|Uncle Crusty's
Arm Flailing Session
|Chaotic Neutral
|Deranged, Egotistical
|Fighting style
|Short Range
|Reality Bending
Ear Rape
Herculean Strength

Forgets Jiu-Jitsu when in need
Anger Issues
|Ear Rapist,
"This American painis will fuck your ass back to Russia!"
Uncle Crusty is a lunatic RED Soldier Freak created by YouTube user Uncle Crusty, who, despite sharing name, is not the creator's TF2sona. For this reason, he's often dubbed Uncle Crusty (Soldier)
His theme is "World Bowser" from Super Mario 3D World.
Uncle Crusty wears an Armored Authority, a Fancy Dress Uniform, Killer's kit and Mantreads. He often has a creepy-looking grin on his face, and sometimes a Soldier's Stogie.
Not much is known about him since he changes his origin story all of the time. The only known fact is, by not having a nephew, he isn't an actual uncle. No one knows why he calls himself "Uncle".
Behavior and Personality
Like most Soldier-based Freaks, He is extremely psychotic and his behavior is very asylum-worthy and somewhat questionable.
Extraordinarily unpredictable in both actions and words, he often performs mischievous acts on other mercenaries or Freaks which, most of the time, results in Crusty hurt, dead, or if lucky, running away laughing like a hyena. If Uncle Crusty emerges victorious however, he will start laughing hysterically.
If someone is friendly to him in any way, however, he drops most of these depraved and maniacal traits of his, to a degree, and becomes friendlier.
He has a fondness of yelling very loudly (commonly referred to Ear Rape) and will commence such an act when he just flat out feels like it.
In addition, he's known to be egotistical, calling his pranks "Divine Art".
It is confirmed that he is a drug addict; His stogie has marijuana instead of tobacco, therefore making the cigar a blunt, and even has his own brand of cannabis (dubbed Paintrainabis). His insane behavior may stem from, one would think, brain damage from repeated abuse of such substances.
Powers and Abilities
Like most TF2 Freaks, he is ambivalent towards others and he has been known to attack without warning or provocation. However similarities end there: unlike most freaks, all of his accomplishments are done to an extensive degree of psychopathy.
While one would expect him to be rather stupid based on his notoriety as a maniac, he is surprisingly crafty, and has a colossal supply of resources that he often uses to prank others and/or get out of trouble. In fact, Uncle Crusty often bends reality to his will in order to succeed or avoid authorities.
He has the extraordinary ability to create a loud, obnoxious noise loud enough to damage people's ears and/or make a person's head explode.
When angered, or sometimes when he flat out wants to, he will tackle someone and/or punch them once. In fact, Uncle Crusty has a Black Belt in Jiu-Jitsu. He also appears to have Herculean strength, being able to life and throw heavy objects such as trees, cargo ship crates, houses, and even an entire aircraft. In addition, Uncle Crusty is surprisingly durable, able to withstand being crushed by such things as a car, a pool table, and a T-rex.
Faults and Weaknesses
He is a nutcase and mentally unstable, which can lead to an eventual downfall and can be easily outwitted by other freaks. In fact, anyone presenting him with any form of logic will weaken the freak.
Apparently, he seems to forget his Jujitsu training when the situation calls for it, and seeing how he possibly has no enhanced fitness, this leaves him defenseless against a threat.
His anger problem is a massive issue as well. When angered, he becomes relentless, often chasing his aggressor with malicious intent. Because of this, he could endanger the lives of himself and everyone around him just to, as stated before, tackle the aggressor and/or perform a move, popularized by UFC, known as the "Superman Punch".
Stronger, and more intelligent, freaks would use this to their advantage.
- Uncle Crusty was conceptualized as a mixture of the TF2sonas of RubberFruit and GAYPENlS. After a few videos, he was developed into a hybrid of a TF2Sona and a TF2 Freak. Until the creator decided this was an insipid waste of time, made a different Heavy character as his TF2Sona, and turned Crusty back into a Freak with the nickname "Uncle Crusty (Soldier)" to avoid confusion.
- Many of the Creator's videos regarding this Freak have been set to private or deleted due to the videos no longer being desired.
- Uncle Crusty changing his origin story all of the time is reminiscent of The Joker, from Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. The most superficial interpretation is: Uncle Crusty is insane. He is so mentally ill that he is incapable of being honest or consistent even with himself. So, the stories reflect his mental turmoil. a continuation of a pattern of deceit and unpredictability.
- Uncle Crusty is very similar to other Soldier Freaks, in behavior and actions, such as Demented Soldier and Crack Cupcake.

The French Laundry is a French restaurant located in Yountville, California, in the Napa Valley. The chef and owner of the French Laundry is Thomas Keller. The restaurant building dates from 1900, and is in the National Register of Historic Places.
The French Laundry is frequently honored by inclusion in the annual Restaurant Magazine list of the Top 50 Restaurants of the World (having been named "Best Restaurant in the World" in 2003 and 2004). Since 2006, it has been awarded three stars in the Michelin Guide to San Francisco. It received a favorable review in The New York Times and was called "the best restaurant in the world, period" by Anthony Bourdain. Since 2007, the restaurant has been the recipient of the Wine Spectator Grand Award.
In July 2014, the Napa Valley restaurant celebrated its 20th anniversary with a "six-hour feast for friends, locals, and luminaries" and temporarily closed for renovations before the end of the year. The restaurant reopened on April 7, 2015 following demolition of a number of buildings on the site. During the remainder of the renovation project, the staff is working out of a temporary kitchen.

A spell book is a magical book that Sims and witches can use to learn spells. In The Sims: Makin' Magic, Sims can access spell books from acquiring them from a box delivered by the Mystery Man. In The Sims 2: Apartment Life, spell books are found in a Sims inventory after becoming a witch. In The Sims 3: Store, Sims can purchase the Lady Ravendancer Goth's Book o' Spells, and in The Sims 3: Supernatural, a spell book is used for the Alchemy Station used for potion purposes.
The Sims: Makin' Magic
The Start Here Spellbook is a spell book acquired through the box given by the Mystery Man, in the spell book Sims can learn the ingredients for many spells.
The Sims 2: Apartment Life
When a Sim becomes a witch or warlock, a Grandiose Grimoirse spell book will be added to the Sim's inventory. The book's title will contain the Sim's name and their alignment title. If the spell book gets removed, new ones can be purchased by a high witch that is either neutral or is of a compatible-alignment. The Palace of Neverending Light and the Fortress of Eternal Darkness lots also contain spell books that playable witches can claim and use. Witches and warlocks can claim abandoned or unclaimed spell books. The spell book will be of the same alignment of the witch or warlock that possesses it.
Spell books provide three interactions for allowing witches and warlocks to learn new spells: "Study the Ways of the Light", "Study the Neutral Magics", and "Study the Path of Darkness". If the warlock's or witch's alignment changes, the look of their spell book will change accordingly to the path of magic they're partaking in. Witches and warlocks can also check their abilities using a spell book, which will provide a list of the spells they know, as well as their current alignment, their skill in magic, and the reagents they can craft. Witches and warlocks can also abandon their current spell book in order to claim another one.
Sims can attempt to examine a spell book that isn't their own. When they do so, the spell book will attack the Sim that touches it.
The Sims 3
In The Sims Store, Sims can purchase the Lady Ravendancer Goth's Book o' Spells, to which Sims can learn 5 Spells: "Summon", "Summon Relation", "Mood Elevatus", "Enchant", and "Unleash Animale". Sims can also review the spells they have learnt in which will increase the odds on succeeding with the spell.
There are 5 spells to choose from, and Teens through Elders can learn from it.
- Enchant- This spell can be used on Lady Ravendancer's Book o' Spells and other magic objects like Lord Vladimir's Magic Cauldron and Soothsayer's Crystal Ball. It makes those objects look like they are in use.
*Mood Elevatus- This spell can be used in a room with 2 or more people in it to increase their Mood.
*Summon Anamale- This spell can be used in a room with 2 or more people in it to give them the "Cursed" Moodlet which makes Sims involuntarily act in strange ways.
*Summon- This spell summons a random Sim from your town to you.
*Summon Acquainted- This spell summons someone with "friend" or higher relationship to you.
Sims must review the spells in the Book o' Spells for them to work successfully more often. The spells lose power quickly, so Sims should review them every day. If the spell does not work correctly, the Sim or the other Sims in the room may get the "Cursed" Moodlet.
In The Sims 3: Supernatural, the only spell book is the one on the Alchemy station. This is only used for seeing the list of alchemy potions the Sim can make as well as the potion ingredients needed.

Source: ACI, Year 2010. 6 Where we are Where do we want to go Increased competition between airlines and airports level playing field. Interactions between aid to airports and aid to airlines Enabled regional/local development and accessibility Continue to enable regional development and accessibility Duplication of unprofitable airports Avoid duplication of unprofitable airports and creation/ maintenance of overcapacity Vast majority of airports are subsidised Avoid waste of public money and reduce the need for public funding (State aid) 7 State of play Public funding of airports is subject to State aid rules Operation of an airport and construction of airport infrastructure is an economic activity, except activities falling within public policy remit, e. g. police, customs, air traffic control (Judgement of 12 December 2000 in Aéroport de Paris case, confirmed by Leipzig-Halle airport judgement of 24 March 2011) Question: Would a profit oriented market economy investor finance the investment of the airport or cover operating losses of the airport? If yes No aid to the airport If no Aid to the airport 8 State of play 2005 Aviation Guidelines Compatibility criteria for investment aid to airports financing airport infrastructure No aid intensity thresholds (up to 100 % on a case by case assessment) and only rarely notified by MS No compatibility criteria for operating aid to airports to finance their losses Exception compensations for Service of General Economic interest only for small airports in remote areas Start-up aid to support launching of new routes from small regional airports Only financing of marketing support allowed and was only rarely used by airports and notified by MS 9 What have we done? Contact with stakeholders e. g. ACI Europe, ERAC, IATA, AEA, ELFAA, ERA, individual airports and airlines, etc. Public consultation 7 April 2011 – 7 June 2011: 89 replies providing feedback on the recent market developments: • 21 Member States, Norway and 12 regional authorities • 22 Airports, 9 Airlines, 14 Airline and airport associations 10 Main results of the public consultation Majority of the stakeholders supports the revision of the existing guidelines • Simplification and increased transparency • More enforcement of State aid rules to airports and airlines • Need for special rules for small airports and airports in remote areas • More predictable rules for investment aid (clarifications on eligible costs and aid intensity thresholds) • Rules to avoid distortion of competition between airports located in the same catchment 11 Interactions between financing of airports and possible aid to airlines Aid granted by a Member State Publicly financed airports might reduce the price for the airport services rendered to the airlines Airlines using this airport could indirectly benefit from an aid 12 Policy perspective Current situation Transitional period Steady state regime 13 Where we want to go in the long-term: A "steady state" regime Investment aid to airports Range of permissible maximum aid intensities depending on the size Necessity , proportionality and incentive effect to be demonstrated Additional capacity created meets medium-term demand in the catchment area and does not lead to duplication of unprofitable infrastructure Operating aid to airports Should not be necessary as airports should be able to cover their operating costs (exception small airports up to 200.000 which can be declared SGEI) 14 Growth potential Financing of operation of these airports is covered by the 2012 SGEI Decision Growth potential? Small airports may have problems in financing their operating cost 181 ≤ 200 000 pax Source: ACI Europe. 97 80 33 ≤ 1 M pax 1 – 3 M pax 3 – 5 M pax 71 ≥ 5 M pax 15 A number of airports managed to grow into a more viable size Calculation based on a sample of 245 EU (total number of airports in EU = 462). Source: Data ACI Europe. 16 How can transitional period be designed? Investment aid to airports Operating aid to airports No phasing-in needed Operating aid to airports allowed under certain conditions [with a passenger volume of less than x mio passengers] 17 Under which conditions could operating aid to airports be allowed? Why are airports not able to cover their operating costs? due to unused capacity due to too low airport charges Aid to the airport Aid to the airlines 18 How to exclude existence of aid to airlines by publicly funded airports? Market price Appropriate market benchmarks normally not available at this moment In absence of an appropriate market benchmark Assessment based on a "cost approach" Airlines pay charges corresponding to the costs in accordance with their use of the airport services 19 Airport charges and aid to airlines "Steady state" regime No aid to the airlines airport charges (including non-aeronautical revenues) cover airport's costs Transitional period Which operating aid to airlines? 20 Next step Beginning 2013: consultation Member States, stakeholders and interested parties on a written document 21

I managed to drink 3 lots of milk today and, mostly kept it down.
I even gave a few smiles!
A lovely Thursday volunteer from the chemo ward came and found me today! She has missed me and told my Mum how much she thinks of me. She was so happy to see me today. She wanted to run away with me, but Mum said "No"! She's been a ward nanny for 13 years!
Watch out everyone... Your cheeky boy is coming back, slowly but surely!

Have you seen how pretty
broken glass is by sun or moonlight?
If only we could see
broken lives
by the same sparkling magic,
and realize
that beautiful mosaics
are made from broken bits.
New beauty can be created out of our
inevitable shatterings.

The Hush Post: Three of a family from Janakpuri, Delhi who were going to a bhog ceremony were killed in a gruesome accident when a Mercedez Benz car banged into their Honda four-wheeler creating such an impact that all three died on the spot. The accident took place in Karnal. Those who died have been identified as Gurdeep Singh, his wife Gurmeet Kaur, and daughter Jaspreet Kaur. Gurdeep's son Amandeep Singh and son-in-law Kulwinder Singh are serious. They are undergoing treatment in a private hospital in Karnal.
Gurdeep Singh of Janakpuri was headed to Paonta Sahib in Himachal Pradesh for a bhog. The family and relatives were in four cars. Gurdeep came to know that one of the cars had developed a snag. He immediately took a turn to join them when a Mercedes Benz coming from opposite direction crumpled into their car. The Honda car in which they were travelling had a CNG cylinder. After accident the cylinder rolled out of the car but fortunately did not hit any vehicle.

I don't try to hide the fact that Senior pics are my very favorite. Add to that a beautiful, fun girl and I am in Heaven! I'm going to try to limit the number of pics I share to just some of my favorites, but it's gonna be hard. Here we go, one pic at a time….
I love this mural at Nifong Park and it seemed to really go well with Shelby's first outfit, so that's where we started out our fun evening of shooting.
Another fun feature of Nifong Park is its black, iron gate. Of course, Shelby rocked it.
And flashing that pretty class ring…
FYI, her eyes are really this blue. My goal as a photographer is to capture the very best version of yourself. I cringe when I see someone with abnormally colored photoshopped eyes. Though I may play with overall color changes from time to time, I always go back to the natural colors. That is what my eye prefers. At any rate, all that was just to say that this IS Shelby. She is a natural beauty.
And now for her celebrity look alike picture. Drum roll please…..it's Drew Barrymore!
Next, we headed downtown after a quick outfit change. I love how Shelby is up for anything regarding her pictures. She wasn't afraid to try a million poses even if she felt like she was being silly. We got some great shots because of that!
We then headed to Shelter Gardens after another outfit change. The best backdrops are found in nature. I don't know that I would ever be comfortable doing studio photography. It makes it challenging dealing with weather and lighting at times, but it's what I love.
Shelby had a fun idea that she had gotten from a friend. If you ever have any fun ideas, I'm going to do everything in my power to make those things happen. Not that getting this particular pose was particularly difficult, but I'm just saying no idea is too crazy or silly for me. I will try my hardest to translate those ideas to photos!
The sun was getting close to setting, but we raced over to some railroad tracks to take a few more pics during the golden hour. At every shoot, I'm going out guns blazing! Meaning, I will shoot until the sun goes down 😉
And actually after we'd driven all the way there for the railroad tracks, I ended up digging this fence. Sometimes (usually) the coolest pics are unplanned.
Thanks for another fun shoot, Shelby! Good luck with your Senior Year!

This detail has been on my mind which seems greater than the whole painting. I zoomed in with IPhone lens, hit the magic wand button, and now I see much more than I did before. I am trying to find the truth here.
Here is the whole lying untampered on the deck of my studio. I posted it on etsy.com for $25 as it is an over painting on canvas board unframed and ready to find its owner....I thought. This drive to produce and then the overwhelming weight of work piling up...the compulsion to try to place into the wider realm. Well it takes more energy than one might imagine. It presses on me now.
Be well ye spirits who linger here.

Chen said deteriorating bilateral relations are due to both the Trump administration's trade policies and a growing U.S. consensus that foreign policy toward China should be reevaluated. The Chinese government's view that industrial policy is a legitimate tool to promote economic growth stands in stark contrast to the U.S. position that market forces should play a leading role in economic development. Chen agreed with Haenle that a clear line between the market and state should be drawn, or else policies such as Made in China 2025 will remain major points of bilateral contention. The rapid pace of technological development makes it difficult to predict the full breadth of technology's future impact on global affairs, Chen said. However, he argued governments should study the implications of emerging technologies on foreign policy, as they will play a consequential role in the future of great power relations.

Haunted Northern New York: True, Chilling Tales of Ghosts in the North Country – May 1, 2002
Fascinating and well researched, this collection of spine-tingling accounts of paranormal phenomena focuses on the restless spirits that haunt Upstate New York s rustic and weathered region known as the North Country. But perhaps what makes these stories so chilling is that each one of them is factual! The haunted sites covered in this book range from centuries-old mansions to mobile homes, and even commercial establishments such as bars, diners, and fraternity houses. The results of Revai s research show us that every haunting is unique in its own style and characteristics, although certain similarities exists between each. Gerina Dunwich, Occult author.

Gophers softball coach Jamie Trachsel knew it would be a fight to win the NCAA regional.
So she prepared her team for a knockdown, drag-out battle the best way she knew how: By sitting her players down to watch one of her favorite movies, "Rocky IV," of course.
Sunday's two rain delays and eventual postponement allowed for the impromptu movie session. And while Monday's rematch with Georgia wasn't quite an Ivan Drago-Rocky Balboa bout amid Cold War-era tension, there were still plenty of heavy hits.
The Gophers stacked up a convincing 8-1 victory before an announced crowd of 1,256 at Jane Sage Cowles Stadium, advancing to just the second super regional in program history and first since 2014.
The No. 7 seed Gophers (44-12) will be a super regional host for the first time, when No. 10 seed Louisiana State (43-17) visits for a best-of-three series this Friday, Saturday and Sunday (if needed), with the with the winner advancing to the College World Series in Oklahoma City.
"It's the whole program's dream," freshman Natalie DenHartog said. "Just what we've accomplished this season and what we're ready to do next week and the rest of this season, it's just huge for this program."
The Gophers offense wasn't quite as dominant as usual this regional, tallying 10 hits and five runs in the previous two games. But DenHartog remedied that right away, smacking a three-run homer in the first inning.
"I was due," DenHartog said. "And frankly, our whole offense was due."
A four-run third inning, plus one more score in the sixth, helped the Gophers finish with six hits and eight runs.
DenHartog said she felt her team was seeing the ball well but just not squaring up pitches before Monday. That changed, helping the offense give some much-deserved cushion for junior pitcher Amber Fiser. Though she didn't really appear to need it.
Fiser struck out seven over seven innings, holding the Bulldogs to five hits. Their lone run came in the fifth, after Minnesota had opened a 7-0 lead. Throughout the whole regional, she allowed only two runs.
Trachsel said she was at a loss for words to describe how good Fiser is and how she can be a difference-maker even when she's not having her best outing.
"For her to finish the game and this weekend with a championship with her on the mound, [it's] like it's how it's supposed to be," Trachsel said. "Because she's been the horse that we've ridden all year."
Monday's game ended with one of Fiser's strikeouts, before she ran into the arms of catcher Emma Burns as the rest of the team mobbed them.
"For a second I just kind of paused, and I'm like, 'Oh my gosh, did that really happen?' And then I saw Emma running at me," Fiser said. "Just celebrated. It was a lot of fun."
And if the boxing film wasn't inspiring, it at least helped broaden the players' film repertoires. Like Fiser, for example, who is a big fan of the recent "Creed" franchise but not so much of the original.
"It was cool to see," she said. "Everyone talks about all the 'Rocky' movies all the time, so it was nice to finally see one."

One call. That's all.
That is the slogan Weis-Buy Farms Inc. used when the company began almost 30 years ago, and it is still apropos today, although with a slightly narrowed meaning.
"We thought we could be successful in all areas of produce, but we soon found out we were better at the tomato, pepper and cucumber business, purchasing and marketing, than other areas," explained Chuck Weisinger, chief executive officer of Fort Myers, FL-based Weis-Buy Farms.
Weisinger has decades of experience as a broker and salesman, has traveled extensively through key growing regions of the U.S., Central and South America, and sat on the boards and committees of the nation's top produce marketing associations. "I use the phrase my late mother-in-law used: 'We can only be good in one room, and our customers pick the room.' That room is produce," he said.
"Today, with contract purchasing and emails, we still find that quality control and the usual hands-on touching of the produce still works. And we do that," Weisinger said.
The fall season is expected to be a bit of a rollercoaster ride.
"With the El Nino year of last year past us, and the growers still experiencing and trying to make the new NAFTA work, it is expected to be a confusing but exciting season ahead," Weisinger said. "Dry weather in Florida and Mexico has cut yields and size of the fruit, and warm weather has not helped the situation, with smaller tomatoes and peppers more abundant than the larger sizes. It has been a tough month to get what we really wanted, but we've been able to cover our orders and we covered our commitments. We also expect that markets will stabilize and remain steady and strong through Dec. 15."
Weis-Buy's import situation in the Dominican Republic has remained good and volume should start picking up on hothouse certified colored peppers and tomatoes to five or six loads per week by early December. "All of our pepper is Primus certified, and our results have been exceptional in the last three years. We hope to continue this in the coming year," Weisinger said.
"With our salesforce primed for success and the growers with good crops we expect to be busy this year," Weisinger said. He noted that new varieties in hothouse peppers and tomatoes are being grown in Florida and the Dominican Republic, along with Mexico, that offer exceptional flavor and shelf life and are more disease resistant. "That makes our life easier than in previous years," he said.
"We look to the future with optimism. Florida is a leader in innovation in produce, and as always, we look for the newest but safest produce available," Weisinger said.
This fall, Weis-Buy Farms has the option of choosing the best and correct color and size, grown on approximately 8,000 acres of green and vine ripened stake tomatoes. In the Dominican Republic it has approximately 50 greenhouses growing its peppers, which are marketed under Weis-Buy's proprietary Tropical Jewels label.

so I popped in primark this morning to pick Roman up new boxers, and I can never resist a bargain so I had a little wander around the reduced stuff.
Anyone that knows me well will tell you that I'm never seen indoors – in my house or anyone else's – without a pair of slippers, but I'm incredibly fussy. I don't care what the pattern is, but I only like certain styles and because they are the soft-sole type I go through them very quickly, on average a pair every 8-12 weeks!
So I was well chuffed today to go into Primark and see my favourite style of slippers reduced from £2.50 a pair to £1 a pair, and promptly nabbed three pairs in my size! That's a whole 6-9 months of slippers for only £3 and a saving of £4.50!!
It's the simple things that make me happy! Bargains should never be underestimated!
Anyway, here is a pic of my bargain slippers!

A longtime employee working at Northern Pulp said he is frustrated with the negativity in and around his workplace. The worker, who asked not to be identified out of concern for his job and public retaliation, told The News Tuesday that some of his co-workers have been harassed by members of the public who feel the local mill should be closed. "One guy was at the grocery store and someone saw his Northern Pulp jacket and followed him around the store giving him crap about where he works," he said.

Winter just didn't really happen in the Midwest this year; it sort of skipped over us. So what does this mean? Most notably, it means more in the way of allergies and bugs. If you take some easy actions now, you can avoid the sneezing and possible insect infestation this spring.
In an earlier blog I share information about quercitin, probiotics and omega-3 fatty acids for helping your body to react positively to spring's blooms. If you have a crock pot, make your own probiotic-friendly yogurt with this easy recipe!
The National Pest Management Association shares some great tips for preparing your home in case of an influx of pests:
- Maintain a one-inch gap between soil and wood portions of a building.
- Keep mulch at least 15 inches from the foundation.
- Seal cracks and small openings along the bottom of the house.
- Eliminate sources of moisture or standing water.
- Keep tree branches and other plants trimmed back from the house.
- Keep indoor and outdoor trash containers clean and sealed.
- Screen windows and doors.
