Two charged in North Haledon home invasion, robbery
NORTH HALEDON — Two men have been charged with kidnapping in connection with a home invasion on Saw Mill Road last April in which the homeowner was bound, gagged, and robbed, police said Thursday.
Ramon A. Melendez-Lugon, 34, of Union City and Hector Rivera, 37, of Irvington, were each also charged with aggravated assault, robbery, burglary, theft, and unlawful possession of a weapon, police said.
"The case is still under investigation, and we have reason to believe we could be searching for three, five more suspects," said borough police Detective Sgt. David Parenta.
The accused were arrested around 9 p.m. Wednesday after an investigation by borough police following up on information from the Passaic County Sheriff's Office, Parenta said.
Melendez-Lugon, who is not a U.S. citizen, is unemployed and has seven aliases, was arrested outside his house, Parenta said. Rivera, a manager for an auto store in Jersey City, was arrested at his house.
In the April incident, three men, one armed with a handgun, forced their way into a house on Saw Mill Road in broad daylight, police said. Initially one of the invaders knocked on the door, and when the homeowner answered, a man placed a gun to his head. Two more men appeared and forced the resident back into the house. The homeowner was then forced into the basement, where his hands and feet were bound with duct tape, police said. The invaders escaped with an undetermined amount of cash.
The homeowner, who sustained a small cut to his head, was able to free himself within minutes and call a daughter who lives in Bergen County. The daughter reported the incident to police.
Melendez-Lugon was being held in the Passaic County Jail Thursday in lieu of $300,000 bail, police said. Rivera was being held in lieu of $600,000 bail.
Police asked anyone with information to contact the North Haledon Police Department at 973-423-1111.

Finals Preview: Group 5
Running back Jamauri Bogan was the catalyst
behind Union's rise from a 1-2 start to a sectional finalist, and enters
the title game with 1,514 yards and 18 TDs on the ground. Don't sleep
on his backfield mate Jabree Robertson, either -- the senior has 663 yards
and 11 rushing scores of his own. Guard/linebacker Connor Stieglitz is
as important a two-way player as you'll find in this game. His 89
tackles lead the Red Devils, and he's a cog in the Ridge run game.
Finals Preview: Group 4
The Chargers have possibly the most
dangerous passing game in New Jersey thanks not only to quarterback Dan
Williams, but the star wide receiver duo of Adonis Jennings and Cameron
Chambers. Even when their offense isn't clicking, they've shown they can
win defensive slugfests -- having beaten Moorestown and Paul VI by scores
of 7-6 and 8-7, respectively. Shawnee knows how to keep games close, but
are just 2-2 in games decided by under seven points. Running back
Anthony DiOrio is the engine that makes the Renegade offense go, and has
1,188 yards and 16 touchdowns this year.
Finals Preview: Group 3
Needless to say, the first year under head
coach Kevin Kostibos has been a rousing success for the Hilltoppers, who
have now won 23 straight and are looking for their third title in five
years. Parsippany Hills meanwhile, looked like they might struggle come
postseason time after mid-season losses to Delbarton and West Morris --
two of the tougher opponents on their NJAC schedule -- but they stormed
back to win their last four, including a 20-17 upset over a West Essex
squad that had been near-perfect all year. Hills has never won a
sectional title.
Finals Preview: Group 2
Caldwell has a formidable defense,
particularly in its linebacking corps, but it'll be hard-pressed to slow
down a Herd running back that has over 3,400 yards on the ground this
year. Mountain Lakes won the last postseason meeting between the
perennial postseason contenders, 26-20. The Chiefs are out for revenge
and have won nine straight games. Caldwell has its own dangerous back in
Ray Iodice, who has 1,228 yards and 18 touchdowns.
Finals Preview: Group 1
The Heights offensive line -- consisting of
Justin Porzl, Chris Verdi, Dimitri Forde, Mauro Altamura and Ryan
Palladino -- has been the engine behind an offense that boasts a
dangerous run game and top-flight quarterback in Darren Iurato. Iurato
scored three times (2 pass TD, 1 rush) in the Aviators' 28-21 win over
the Cardinals in early November. Pompton is looking to become the first
team to win three straight North 1, Group 1 crowns since Glen Rock won
five in a row between 1998 and 2002.
Thanksgiving Football Predictions
We here at Gridiron New Jersey would like to
wish all our readers and fellow high school football fans a very happy
Thanksgiving. Here are our picks for some of the best and most historic
rivalry games across the state.
Semifinals Preview: Group 1
Last season's playoff semifinal tilt between
the Panthers and Aviators ended with a late Joe Slattery touchdown pass
that sent Cedar Grove to MetLife Stadium. Heights quarterback Darren
Iurato is completing over 76% of his passes and has already led his team
to wins over three teams still alive in the sectional semifinals (Queen of
Peace, Waldwick, Pompton Lakes).
Semifinals Preview: Group 2
Haddonfield has quickly jumped back into the
conversation with the Group 2 elite thanks to its shocking upset of
two-time defending sectional champion West Deptford last week. To make
it to this year's title game, they'll need to do the same to streaking
Camden, who can put itself in position for its first championship since
1976 if it can win its 13th straight game.
Semifinals Preview: Group 3
Quarterback Matt Thies and the West Essex Wing-T has dominated everyone other than Orange, though their close victories over the Tornados have probably been beneficial for a team that has rarely been challenged this season. The Knights' offensive line will have its hands full with Par Hills defensive end Michael Dogbe, who has 21.5 sacks in ten games this year.
Semifinals Preview: Group 4
The Bosco defense held Paramus Catholic's
dynamic offense to its lowest output of the season (13) when the teams
met on Oct. 18. Still, PC's brutal schedule has prepared it for this
point, and it will challenging for the Ironmen to hold the Paladins'
skill players down once again.
Semifinals Preview: Group 5
The Chiefs are hitting their stride at the right time, and avenged their opening day loss to Edison with last week's first round playoff victory. Union running back Jamauri Bogan's 180 yards and two scores against Watchung Hills are evidence that he has overcome his nagging injury issues in time to help the Farmers make a run.
Group 5 Preview & Picks
Running back Elijah Barnwell and his
Piscataway teammates have bounced back nicely since an opening day loss
to Edison, and will have a shot at redemption against an Eagles team
searching for its first championship since 1991. Union looked vulnerable
early in the year, but has shown resiliency and toughness in a
five-game winning streak that put them back in the postseason. Seven of
Ridge's nine victories have come over teams .500 or above, though they
did have to grind one out against fifth-seeded Linden earlier this
Group 4 Preview & Predictions
Brick Township hasn't won a sectional title
since 1994, but the top-seeded Green Dragons are hopeful that they can
get versatile junior quarterback Carmen Sclafani back from a shoulder
injury and make a run. To do so, they very well might meet up with
fourth-seeded Middletown South in the semifinals. Brick lost to the
Eagles, 28-7, on opening day. Of course, Burlington Township might have
something to say about that, and they'll look to upend South in the
first round and end a two-game skid, while handing Steve Antonucci's
squad its third defeat in a row. Colts Neck may have the best two-way
player in the bracket in running back/linebacker Anthony Gargiulo.
Group 3 Preview and Predictions
River Dell's resurgence after a 1-3 start
got it into the playoffs, but the Golden Hawks' haven't seen a player
like Jefferson quarterback J.R. Reese. Ramapo and Sparta are both
returning finalists, and it seems improbable that surprising Garfield or
up-and-down Englewood will stop them from tilting again in the
semifinals. Mahwah has cruised all year long, and has shown the ability
to rush the passer effectively. Lakeland is a very dangerous eight seed,
and showed its might by hanging in with an outstanding Paramus squad
early in the year.
Group 2 Preview and Predictions
It seems unlikely that anyone can stop the
collision between Holy Spirit and DePaul in this season's final. Spirit
has won three straight finals (and two in this section), while DePaul is
looking to make a run at its first championship since 1992. The
Spartans from Wayne (as opposed to their counterparts from Absecon) have
picked up several huge wins over Don Bosco Prep and Bergen Catholic
this season, and have an experienced leader in quarterback Zach
Bednarczyk. Holy Spirit can beat a team in a number of ways, one of
which is on the legs of one of the CAL's top running backs in Taalib
Group 1 Preview and Predictions
South Jersey passing phenom Dylan Cummings of Pennsville has led the Eagles to a 7-1 record, though their only real challenge -- undefeated Woodstown -- handed them a 20-17 loss. Glassboro became the latest team to benefit from the removal of the requirement that a playoff team be at least .500, qualifying for the postseason at 3-5. Even in defeat, Glassboro's defense has been strong, holding the opposition to under 20 points six times. Gloucester City also qualified with just three wins, but if last week's 55-22 loss to Pennsville is any indication of what their rematch will be like, the Lions' playoff stay could be short.
Week 9 Predictions
Week nine is finally upon us, and the
playoffs will be all set up by weekend's end. But there are still some
highly important regular season games left to be played, and a bunch of
teams vying for higher seeds and home games in the postseason. And even
some of the games that are "meaningless," still have a lot of pride (and
potential late-round playoff implications) at stake. Let's get to some
Week 8 Recap
As hard as it might be to believe that a
2012 sectional finalist could possibly be one of the state's most
improved teams, Weequahic may actually fit that bill. This week, they
rode another strong defensive effort (led by linebacker Sidney Gopre's
18 tackles) to a 27-0 victory over Verona. But just how dominant have
the Indians been, you ask? They've allowed just one touchdown all
year—in the first half of opening day against Orange—and have now posted
four straight shutouts.
Week 8 Predictions
Hard as it is to believe, the end of the pre-cutoff
season is upon many of the teams in New Jersey. But the headline games
are, of course, the showdowns between St. Joseph (Mont.) and DePaul and
Bergen Catholic and Don Bosco Prep. South Jersey has its own parochial
prize fight, as well, with St. Joseph (Hamm.) and St. Augustine Prep
going at it. Let's get to some picks for those and a host of other top

subset: commoncrawl

Between Fyrinnae's Damn Paladins and Concrete Mineral's Lolita, I'm quickly becoming fond of taupes. I put together a quick look with taupes today, though I'm not happy with the liner that I ended up using. I think I probably should have just stuck to black, since it's my preference, instead of greys.
Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Fyrinnae Damn Paladins – inner 1/2 of lid and inner lower lash line and inner 3/4 of crease
Concrete Minerals Lolita – outer 1/2 of lid and outer lower lash line and outer 1/2 of crease blended inward
Fyrinnae Ancient Mirage – on browbone to highlight
Morgana Graphite – to deepen outer 1/4 of crease
Maybelline Charcoal Gel Liner – upper lash line
Cover Girl Silver Spark Pencil – lower water line
MAC Plumage – to define brows
Hard Candy 1000 lashes Primer
Flirt! It Curls mascara
DuWop blush in Watermelon
Hard Candy blush in Pinup – to contour a bit
Meow Pampered Puss foundation in Inquisitive Siamese
Nyx lipliner in Currant – to lightly line and fill in lips
MAC Lipglass in Wrong Spell
I promise you I will be reviewing Hard Candy 1000 Lashes Primer, as well as Flirt! It Curls Mascara soon, as I really like both and as you can see from the picture above, I get good results with both. Or at least, I feel I get good results. And OMG I need to make an appointment to get my brows waxed! They're driving me crazy! I've just been so busy with work I haven't had time to do that.
Tags: Concrete Minerals, FOTD, Fyrinnae, Hard Candy, Morgana Cryptoria, Taupe Look
I know I've said it before, but it's worth saying again: I love Damn Paladins, and it looks great on you!
Thank you! It's got that perfect light blue highlight.
You really do look gorgeous!
Thanks A! *hug*
I like the grey! I usually do things-other-than-black, so it's nice to see it incorporated into people's looks!
Sometimes I like it, othertimes I go 'doh! I should have been darker.
what? that liner looks really nice!
I just felt like it wasn't enough contrast for my eyes.
Your look is beautiful! I am a devoted lurker.
I have a question about the Fyrinnae eye shadow Damn Paladins. The website describes it as taupe with a blueish tinge, how blue is it? Is it a true blue or does it have a greenish/teal shift? I really do love taupes but blue does NOT suit me at all and I was wondering if you can clear this up for me. I have very fair skin with yellow undertones and green eyes. Thanks in advance, I hope this isnt a bother!
It has a light blue, maybe pale aqua? no green to it to my eyes.
Look very nice . The grey liner isn't bad , but maybe a darker one gives a little more depth to your beautiful eyes , but it's really gorgeous!!
Thanks Olivai! Exactly
Omg, i love your MU!
Thanks Elchy!
You look gorgeous! Love the lip color!
Thank you Gio! I really liked Wrong Spell too.
I'm trying to figure out what lipsticks would be best to layer it on top of.
Lip color looks really good on you. Prettiness.
Can't wait to hear your reviews.
Thank you Lilly!
Gorgeous as usual
I think the grey liner looks good on you!
Thanks Morrigan!
I love taupes too, especially with a deeper lip like this look! Wrong Spell is fabulous!
Thanks Thia!
It looks pretty awesome paired up with that gloss!
Thanks Mindy! I <3 the gloss.
Damn Paladins + lock shirt = lol
Haha I was wondering if someone would catch that!
I love it! Wrong Spell works great with that eye!
Thanks Kathy!
I'm always surprised by the greys and browns, they aren't colors I usually buy (I'm such a blues and greens girl!). But they always look so nice!
Also, nice Legendary 'lock shirt…is it bad that I knew what it was just by the corner?
Yay thanks! And definitely not bad to know the lock shirt
I've been surprised to find myself loving taupes lately as well. I started making my own eyeshadows, and was playing around with several silver based shadows, and at first my favorite one was the sparkliest, but my current favorite is the taupiest. Yes, I just said "taupiest". I like to pair it with plums and violets.
Hehe, I bet they're pretty! You need to swatch for me
Goblet is the taupy one. It looks more silvery in the pictures, but on it is really warm and nice. I need to get some pictures of them on me.
You look amazing!!!
Thank you Krista!
each time I see damn paladins, i think i need it more. A fyrinnae order is in my near future. Looks gorgeous on you,
You do you do! Thanks Nina!
Those taupes look absolutely beautiful on you.
Thanks Pleshette
I love this look on you!
Wow, thanks Gouldlylox
I like the grey liner, it gives the eye a much softer feel. Black would look gorgeous, but always nice to mix it up a bit. LOVE the lippy on you.
Aww thanks Cin!
I'm totally in love with the lippy.
Damn Paladins is growing on me, I haven't used it very often & I learned that I don't like it at all when used over Pixie Epoxy but I'll give it another try tomorrow. I think grey liner worked well with the subdued eye look especially considering the wine colored lip gloss. And I didn't notice your brows until I read the end of the post! :))
I like using it on the upper crease too, as a transition color. Works great that way.
Beautiful look! And I think the grey liner looks nice as it is. When I place an order with Fyrinnae I'll probably pick up Damn Paladins, it seems to be a pretty and useful shade.
Yes definitely!
I like the grey liner, I think it works really well with the grey tones of the taupes
Thanks Silhouette!
Beautiful! I'm a taupe-aholic. I love foiled taupe eyeshadow with a deep, almost black purple lip.
Oooh I bet that would be awesome!

Bill Sawyer attended How To Apply The Secret For Abundance seminar with Secret Teacher David Schirmer in Dallas.
I hear over and over again from people who have watched The Secret, that it doesn't work for them. The Secret works for everyone, just most don't know how to use the Law Of Attraction to get what they want.
I will probably tell you a lot you already know – A great wise man once said "Be doers of the word, not hearers only, otherwise you deceive yourself." – James 1:22 … even I don't do what I know at times!
Your mind and body is ALWAYS a reflection of your spirit realm or thought realm. ("For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he." –Proverbs 23:7)
Ignorance (a lack of knowledge or understanding) leads to worry and doubt, which leads to fear, which leads to depression, lack, poverty in every area of ones life, sickness, even death.
All depression and hopelessness come from the mind being in chaos or lack of order. For example, chaos in our financial thoughts leads to financial lack; chaos in our in our health thoughts lead to disease and sickness; chaos in our vision leads to depression. This may seem logical and simple, but if only the world would grasp it with understanding!
The Apostle Paul said in Romans that you have to renew you mind – Romans 12:2 "Do not be conformed to this world, fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs, but be transformed (changed) by the entire renewal of your mind, by its new ideas and its new attitude, so that you may prove for yourself what is the perfect, acceptable and good will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect in His sight for you."
What Paul was saying is don't be like the world around you, your present circumstances and environment; but rather change what you think about and focus on, create your perfect life with your God given gift of imagination and hold that image with your will until your mind is renewed, just like God did when He created this world.
"Where there is no vision, the people perish." Proverbs 29:18. No wonder we life in a generation of frustrated people, most have no vision for their life, or at best a confused or negative vision.
The way we feel and act is always according to our subconscious images, whether we know, understand or believe it or not. Therefore our results in every area of our lives are because of our thoughts! And because we can control our thoughts we are also responsible for our results.
All creation waits for our thoughts so it can evolve at a faster pace – yet it cannot go backwards. So if we continually look backwards at our past results or even at our present results the world around us continues to move forward but we get 'stuck' or cannot move forward.
"All creation waits with eager longing for its revealing though the sons of God." – Romans 8:19. How exciting – that creation itself is waiting for us, for what God has to reveal through us. Most people though are still looking backwards in pain or forward in fear rather than in excited expectation of revelation now.
It is very easy to tell where a person is by what they speak out. We always speak what we believe. While people continue to speak out their lack, poverty, sickness or being stuck, they will remain there!
The answer is simple: "If you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth you will be saved." That is not just some Christian belief for eternal salvation … it is a universal law, God's law of creation from the beginning of time, it's the gift all human's where given so that they can create "heaven on earth". Jesus tried to teach the world of this basic fact, yet most will deny Him and continue to live hell on earth because they do not listen. He said, "They have ears but do not hear." – The kingdom is within you!!
Why am I telling you this?
Let me put it another way:
What did His father do?
God looked at a world that was without form and void, and darkness we upon the face of the earth … and He complained and said "Boy, its dark down there. What a mess. I'm stuck and that place is hopeless … that place is still dark and void what is going on … how come my life is always like this … if only someone would help me fix it … I'm going to quit … Boy it'd dark down there!!!!!" No … God said "Let there be light … and there was light." Genesis 1:3
You have the POWER of God in you, as a believer you can turn darkness into light … you can speak truth and light to the darkness. Whatever mountain you are facing right now speak the truth to it. If you are not closing deals or getting more clients, if you don't have a happy fulfilled relationship, if your bank account looks really sick … don't tell anyone – just speak the truth you desire. If you are struggling financially, don't EVER speak about your poverty and lack, only speak about the wealth that is coming to you. If your relationship is not exactly how want it, speak exactly how it must be.
Jesus said "Be healed" and sickness departed! We must do what our Father does!
Much love and many blessings,
David Schirmer

I was recently contacted by Unilever Kitchen who asked if I would like to make a winter warming recipe using some of their products. I received a large hamper containing a selection of Knorr Stock Cubes, Coleman's mustard and seasoning mixes, and Maile French mustard. For my recipe I thought I would make one of our favourite dishes, spaghetti Bolognaise. It is really simple and satisfying recipe. I hope you like it!
Spaghetti Bolognaise
Ingredients (serves 4 or use leftovers for a lasagna like we do: two meals for the price of one!!)
- 500g lean steak mince
- 1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
- 50ml red wine
- 1 tin of chopped tomatoes
- Hot water
- 1 Knorr Beef Stock Cube
- 1 Knorr Herb Infusions Cube
- 1 Coleman's Spaghetti Bolognaise spice mix
- 1 tablespoon Worcester Sauce
- A generous squirt of tomato purée
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Spaghetti, cooked according to the packet instructions to serve
- In a large non stick oven proof saucepan, fry the steak mince until browned and then add in the onion and garlic and fry until softened.
- Add in the red wine, stir well and leave to bubble away until the alcohol smell has gone away
- Add in the chopped tomatoes, stir well and then fill the tomato tin with hot water from a kettle and add into the mince mixture. Stir again.
- Next, add in the stock cubes, spice mix, tomato purée, Worcester Sauce and salt/pepper to taste.
- Then stir again, put a lid on then leave to simmer on a low-medium heat for a 1 1/2 – 2 hours or place into a preheated 170 degree C oven for 2- 21/2 hours, stirring occasionally. I prefer to use the oven as I do not need to stay In the kitchen keeping an eye on it so much.
- Once cooked, serve with spaghetti, eat and enjoy!!
Disclosure: I received a hamper of Unilever products for the purpose of writing this post. All opinions are my own.

Question by Benjamin M: what is the very best way for my organization to accept credit cards and trade shows?
i am hunting in to wireless credit card machines and wondered what organizations have the very best service and offers.
Greatest answer:
Answer by Tom C
It's been a while given that I've worked in that industry, but I believe NPC employed to be one particular of the most respectable businesses out there for credit card processing.
Know much better? Leave your own answer in the comments!
This credit card reader and many like it, gives you the capability to offer your customers or donors an option to pay with credit card for goods, services, donations, etc. So, now just like stores, you can give your customers an option of paying by credit card whether you are selling something in a flea market or art show; collecting donations at a charity event; or selling things in your store.
** SHORT REVIEW: In short, this is a great company with great people, delivering an awesome solution at competitive price, and that is why I gave them 5 stars.
There are a few options when it comes to the credit card readers for your smart devices. I have been doing some fairly detailed research for the few organizations that I am involved with (some for profit, some nonprofits, some small and some mid to large size).
If I had to summarize my research in one sentence, at a risk of stating the obvious, it is all about the company behind the reader. While I cannot provide exact technical detail, chances are the readers are mass produced somewhere in China and maybe even in the same facility! So the reader IMHO should not be a decision factor.
++ So what were my decision factors? Cost, Security, Integration Capability, Ease of Use and Configuration, Support ++
It is kind of interesting how some folks lose the sight of what is really happening when they purchase one of these gadgets. It is a tool that gives you the ability to sell your goods and services using credit card. So, like any other credit card transaction, what you are buying is a device that takes the money that your customer owes you (all be it in a digital form i.e. credit card charge), and promises to give it to you in a "reasonable" time for a "reasonable" charge. While all the companies in this space very much do that. The difference between them is what their definition of "reasonable" is. At a risk of stating the obvious, the higher they charge you, the more money you are losing, and perhaps a little less obvious, the longer they take to pay you (hold time) , the longer it is that you do not have the use of your money. These two simple but critical factor (transaction fee and the hold time) sometimes is lost in all the marketing minutia.
Safety and security of your credit card information is all tied into this criteria.
For example if you are running an event, and would like to have contact information to send thank you notes to folks who made donations. Or, you may want to know who purchased what. Maybe you want to send them information about where you are going to be selling your goods (next art show, community market, etc.). Or simply you want to keep track of the market where you have the best return on investment. These type of tasks can be extremely easy if there is good integration with proper applications behind the scene, or it could be real pain if you don't have the proper integration
What I need is a simple system that while easy to use, have the capability to grow with the business or do various tasks depending on the event that I would use it for. Depending on the event/engagement that I am dealing with, I may need to add Tip, have or not have tax, setup recurring payments with all options imaginable. I may have to meet some government reporting criteria, and /or be able to print receipts on the spot to a printer. Speaking of printing, how flexible the solution is here, can make or break things. In some of my events, folks want actual printout, some like to get an email, while others wish to get their receipts via text message and so on.
As mentioned in my cost factor, you are dealing with a company that is going to deliver your money from your customer's credit card to your account. While all the companies in this space as far as I know are trustworthy, as long as Murphy is around something will go wrong. This is where support becomes more important than anything else; simply put, being able to talk to an actual human being who can resolve the issue in the most expeditious way. Since cash flow is one of the most if not THE most critical part of any business, bad support can translate to much more pain than just simple aggravation.
Sorry for being verbose, but I wanted to be clear on where I am coming from when I mention, Cost, Support, Security, flexibility, etc. After all everybody throws these words around.
I ended up with Click&Pledge. I don't want to…
Wireless terminals are great but have two drawbacks that you need to keep in mind before purchasing one:
1) They only work if you have coverage in your area. Wireless terminals are no different then cell phones. If you don't have coverage they're completely useless. If the trade shows you attend are located in the lower levels of buildings you may find that you didn't get a signal and thus are unable to process your transactions wirelesly. Unfortunately there is no way to tell until you get there.
2) They are very expensive. Although you do gain the benefit of having lower rates if you can process your cards in real time, the cost savings may never add up to enough to cover the cost of the wireless terminal. Getting a standard landline terminal and using that trade shows that offer a phone line and then using a manual imprinter for shows where that isn't available would save you a lot of money.
As far as terminals go, the Nurit 8000 is probably the best choice. It's easy to use and widely supported.

A check of the Aviation Safety Reporting System database by FOX28 News shows two planes have mistakenly landed at Elkhart's airport instead of South Bend. The database also shows pilots of a third flight to South Bend recognized they were on approach to Elkhart before landing.
The Associated Press searched the database, which is managed by NASA, and found that on at least 150 flights, U.S. commercial air carriers have either landed at the wrong airport or started to land and realized their mistake.
In two cases where planes landed, the incidents were reported to have happened overnight, when towers at South Bend and Elkhart are generally closed.
The most recent incident happened in 2003. According to the report from the Captain of the regional jet, they were cleared by air traffic controllers from Chicago for a visual approach to South Bend's east-west runway. Controllers stopped tracking the plane with radar and switched them to the South Bend control tower frequency. The pilots reported on the tower frequency they were inbound on a long final approach. The captain says when they completed their landing checklist, they found themselves on a short final. The captain says everything looked normal, until he noticed a display that showed a distance to the airport that didn't match. While the captain tried to verify the plane's position, the first officer, who was flying the plane, landed. On landing, they found they had landed in Elkhart. The captain says they had no way to contact their company about the situation and no place to shelter the passengers, so he made the decision to fly to South Bend after ensuring the runway at Elkhart was long enough.
The other mistaken landing happened in 1996. The crew of a DC-9 cargo plane heading from Billings, Montana to Wilmington, Ohio says they were diverted by their company to South Bend. The captain reported they were initially given an approach by Chicago controllers to runway 9 at South Bend, then quickly changed to runway 27. The captain says they saw an airport in the right configuration in the position controllers told them to look and when the crew used a system that allows them to control the airport's lighting with a radio, they came on. It was not until they landed that the crew recognized they were at Elkhart instead of South Bend. The captain says they took off from Elkhart for South Bend after checking in with their company. The captain's report says he and his co-pilot may have been fatigued after a day that started in Anchorage, Alaska and just a short 30 minute stop in Billings. The report also points out similarities between the airports in Elkhart and South Bend. Both have runways 9-27 and a north-south oriented runway.
Being more familiar with the area may have prevented another mistaken landing. In 1997, a captain says he was flying with a co-pilot for the first time on a flight to South Bend. The captain says he told his first officer he thought he had South Bend in sight. His first officer reported this to controllers, who cleared the plane to start approaching the airport. While on final, the captain says he realized from prior flights that he was approaching the wrong city, which he confirmed with his instruments. The captain of the flight also pointed out the similar configuration of the two airports. He also says he should have checked his instruments sooner and that approach controllers could have asked the crew to verify the position of the plane.
Reports to the Aviation Safety Reporting System are voluntary, so it is possible other flights may have landed at the wrong airport, but were not reported.

Horror attack on Blackburn pet
1:00pm Monday 6th January 2014 in News
A PET needed emergency surgery after it was attacked by another dog.
Grandmother Margaret Perry, of Broughton Close, in the Higher Croft area of Blackburn, said her Yorkshire terrier Bonnie was shaken so badly that the muscles in her legs were torn.
The 57-year-old said her granddaughter, Kelsie, was now too scared to go out in the street.
Margaret said: "Bonnie is a mess. She cannot walk and she has had an emergency operation. The dog tore all the muscles in Bonnie's leg.
"What if it had have been a child?"
Margaret was walking Bonnie on a lead at around 12.45am on Thursday and had just arrived home when the terrier was grabbed by a cross breed dog, similar to a Japanese Akita, belonging to George Daye who lives on nearby Broughton Close.
She said: "I was just coming back in and, as I put the key in the door, the dog came and snagged Bonnie.
"It came behind her, grabbed her and pulled the lead out of my hand."
She said she had to hit the dog on the side of the head to make it let go of her pet.
Margaret said she informed the police who told her to report the attack to the dog warden.
She was told she could wait up to 10 days before somebody visits the scene of the attack.
A police spokesman said so-called 'dog on dog' attacks would almost always be looked into by the local authority rather than officers.
Margaret said: "The attack was terrifying.
"The grandchildren are coming round the front now instead of the back, they are scared the dog might be hanging around.
"We are frightened to even open the front door and all the neighbours are the same. They are frightened of their kids being out. It shouldn't be like that."
Mr Daye admitted he was walking his dog, Lulu, without a lead and said: "She was walking a bit in front of me so I didn't see what happened exactly.
"If I walk her during the day I always keep her on a lead but this was late at night and I didn't expect to see anyone.
"She hasn't ever attacked a dog before that I know of and I have apologised to Margaret and paid for all the veterinary bills.
"Neither the dog warden nor police have been in touch with me about it."

Apart from some poor family having their child bitten/killed,The police would of got involved an 'lulu' would of been either destroyed or evaluated.
At least Mr Daye acted responsible an paid the vets bill (which I have No doubt cost a pretty penny) an (hopefully) put a page in Mr Dayes education.
(Sadly) Sounds like a genuine accident ;-)

Gat to Get it: Southern Israeli City Kiryat Gat Gets Urban Redesign by MIT Students
Giving new vitality to a sleepy Israeli town, MIT students join Israeli researchers in an exciting international collaboration for urban renovation. Reported by Ariel Schwartz, Senior Editor, at Co.Exist:
"In the 1950s, rapidly built planned cities (also known as "development towns") sprung up in Israel to accommodate the influx of new citizens, including Jewish refugees from Arab countries and Holocaust survivors. Now many of these development towns are struggling due to depopulation and an aging populace. Teams of MIT graduate students and researchers at Tel Aviv University are using one –named Kiryat Gat–as a living lab for a new kind of high-tech, environmentally sound planned city. The goal is to create a plan for Kiryat Gat that can be used in urban communities around the world…" More here.

Index series A-Z
The FTSE Kaigai Index is designed to help Japanese investors to benchmark their international equity portfolios investments.
The index consists of large and mid cap companies from the developed markets of the FTSE All-World Index excluding Japan. To ensure the index is representative of the investable market place, liquidity and free float screens are applied to all companies.

The first two working days of the month bring out a host of Purchasing Managers' Indices across the world. The latest batch is out, and it presents a kind of in between story. Things are not good, that is for sure, but they are not disastrous. So who are the winners and losers across the world?
Before I get started, just to remind you, 50 is the magic number in these Purchasing Managers' Indices or PMIs. Any score over 50 suggests expansion, below would signify contraction.
Let's start with the UK. The story here is sort of promising. The headline index rose from 48.6 to 49.8. So that's an improvement, but the reading is still below the crucial 50 mark. However, hope does lurk in the data. For one thing, 49.8 is in fact the highest reading this year. For another thing, the more forward looking output balance sub-index rose from 47.8 to 50.5. Most encouraging of all, the index tracking new export orders hit its highest level since July 2011. The story contained in the index seems to be one of modest improvement, but perhaps a bit more than modest when looking at exports. But it would be a mistake to make more of it than that.
In the Eurozone, the story is as follows:
Netherlands 48.2 2-month-high
Germany 48.1 4-month-low
Ireland 48.0 19-month-low
Austria 47.8 6-month-low
Italy 45.5 2-month-high
Greece 45.0 21-month-high
Spain 44.7 2-month-high
France 44.4 4-month high
Overall, the manufacturing PMI for the region was 46.7, which was a four month low. So, there is no hint here of the Eurozone moving out of recession. It was good to see the Greek PMI hit a 21 month high, but it is still very low. As for France, it does seem a lot of those predictions of doom relating to France seen last year are being borne out.
Abeonomics is in the news a lot these days, so let's see what going in the land of the rising sun. What difference is the new regime making with its more dovish approach to monetary policy? Well, Japan's manufacturing PMI rose to 51.1 from 50.3, hitting a 13-month high. More interestingly, the sub index tracking new orders – which is a good forward indicator – hit a 26 month high.
Now let's turn to the US. For the world's largest economy there are two PMIs. The version produced by ISM dropped from 51.3 to 50.7. But bear in mind that the index stood at 54.7 in February, so it has fallen very sharply over the last two months. The Markit version fell from 54.6 in March to 52.1, which is the lowest reading since last October. So the two indices suggest the US manufacturing sector is seeing a slow-down, although not contraction.
As for China, once again, there are two PMIs. The official version produced by China's Federation of Logistics and Purchasing fell from 50.9 in March to 50.6. That is only a modest fall, but the index was already too low, and in any case April is usually a good month for the sector – so that is worrying. The PMI produced by Markit and HSBC, which tends to place more emphasis on smaller companies, posted 50.4 in April, which was down from 51.6 in March. But Markit pointed out that the index has been above the 50 level for six months now. At least that is something. Incidentally, for China the 50 reading appears to have a different meaning, and a score under 50 probably suggests lower growth than usual, rather than contraction. In summary the data is constant with China growing at a much slower rate than we have become used to – between 7 and 8 per cent seems about right.
Now let's turn to the rest of the BRICs and a few other key emerging markets. The story is as follows:
India fell to 51.0, the lowest reading recorded since November 2011.
Indonesia was 51.7 in April, up slightly from 51.3 in March. It was the eleventh successive month above 50.
Russia fell for the second month running – from 50.8 to a four month low of 50.6.
Brazil was at 51.0, down from 52.9 in the previous month.
Vietnam saw 51.0 in April from 50.8 in March.
Mexico's 51.7 was its joint lowest score in the 25-month survey history.
Poland was at 46.9, which was a 45 month-low.
And finally, we have the global manufacturing PMI published by Markit. This fell to 50.5 from 51.2.
So what does all this mean? It suggests global growth of around 3 per cent in April, which is much the same as in Q1, but better than Q4 2012.
All in all it's a disappointment but not a disaster, but the disaster word might be apt when applied to the Eurozone.

Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP)
What is a Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP)?
An SHSP is a holistic, statewide safety plan that coordinates the efforts of a wide range of organizations to reduce traffic accident fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads.
In coordination with federal, state, local and private sector safety stakeholders, the SHSP establishes goals, objectives, and emphasis (or challenge) areas.
Federal regulations require that the California SHSP include:
- Consultation with a variety of stakeholders. At present, there are over 400 identified stakeholders assisting with the SHSP Update process, including: federal agencies, state agencies, local agencies and organizations including police departments, regional transportation agencies, tribal governments, and private stakeholders.
- Analysis and effective use of crash data. California has or uses multiple crash data systems including Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), the National Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), the National Emergency Medical Services Information System (NEMSIS), and the Crash Outcome Data Evaluation System (CODES).
- Plans to address the 4Es of traffic safety: Engineering, Enforcement, Education, and Emergency Services. Some safety issues like vehicles running off of the roadway involve engineering challenges. Treating accident injuries involves emergency services issues like improving training for first responders, and ensuring that responders have the right equipment. Some safety issues, like texting while driving, involve multiple areas like education, reminding drivers that texting is not worth it, and enforcement, citing drivers for texting while driving.
- Consideration for the safety of all public roads, and all users, including pedestrians and bicyclists. New federal regulations have also expanded the SHSP to include tribal roads.
- A program of projects or strategies to reduce or eliminate safety hazards. The SHSP is not just a set of goals, developed and forgotten. It is a continuous process, with focused teams studying safety problems, searching for answers, and developing programs to improve traffic safety.
- Implementation and evaluation. This SHSP Update will include review of the last SHSP and the emphasis or challenge areas developed by that SHSP. How much have we done to improve traffic safety? What strategies worked? Which need to be improved?

MICHAEL PEARLMAN SAYS: Exiles tickets too pricey? I told you so
9:00am Tuesday 13th November 2012 in Sport
LET us rewind back to the summer of sporting glory, when the new football season was someway in the distance and this journalist wrote a story about Newport County ticket prices.
The move to Rodney Parade had galvanised us all and when I pointed out that the cheapest Manchester City season tickets were less expensive than some at County, people sneered and called me lots of names my mother wouldn't have appreciated.
C'est la vie, them's the breaks when you do my job, but I was adamant then it was a very valid story, as it is today.
The main criticism seemed to be that I didn't include all the prices for Man City and do a total breakdown, totally ignoring the fact there is NO COMPARISON between paying to watch the Premier League champions and the team that finished 17th in division five.
Would you expect me to do a price breakdown if Crumlin RFC were charging more than the Newport Gwent Dragons? Or just think that's absolutely ridiculous.
Fast forward to the start of November and despite it being one of the most stacked Conferences ever in terms of the stature of the clubs, Newport County find themselves top of the pile, dreaming of the Football League.
Yet their biggest and best win of the season last Tuesday, a thumping 6-2 destruction of Cambridge United, was watched by less than 1,800 people, less than were watching the end of the procession when County got promoted from division six.
And when I dared to suggest the crowd was disappointing, many, many people contacted me on Twitter or wrote on the messageboard that the reason they weren't at the game was that they couldn't afford to be.
That is an extremely valid reason to not be there and a very valid reason why we were right to point out the folly of the County ticket prices last summer.
Simply put, it's too expensive to go and see the Exiles and it is something that badly needs reviewing next season.
It's time County took the Premier League model. You build up a hardcore following who will go to every single home game – County's is about 1,400, though earlier this season we hoped it had grown – and then, when they've become accustomed to going every week, THEN you start overcharging them and taking their loyalty for granted! And I'm only half joking… Can I defend the indefensible? Namely the County defence… Yes I can.
I'm really in mind to say 'crisis, what crisis', baring in mind the gnashing of teeth and knee-jerking going on at the moment with some fans.
Apparently Justin Edinburgh doesn't know what he's doing because he won't sign a defender, even though he is signing a defender and that being despite the fact the transfer window is closed.
The Exiles 'can't defend' and were 'pathetic' to lose to Alfreton, having conceded 15 goals in four games.
Never mind that they scored the same amount. Never mind they are top of the league and looking like a side who can contend all season.
If ever there was proof of how negative some fans can be, the current criticism seems a great point in case.
I can't begin to imagine how things will get if/when the Exiles are no longer top of the league.

Mr G Went says...
Won't support the club at a poor level, can't afford to support at a higher level.
The route to the promised land of league football is littered with rising costs.
That cost has to be taken on by:
a) The Fans
b) The existing Directors
c) A Knight on a White Horse
Option a) is always the likely one because Option b) is in charge.
Option c) is waiting in the wings in shining armour, but hasn't been invited to the joust.
That leaves Option a) to cover the rising costs.
County are top of the league on merit, some of the football has been poor, some has been sublime.
But if we all want nights to remember (such as the 2-0 Hereford game) then we have to continue to support.
Or, we drop back down to an affordable level
No one wants that, do they?
(Awaits the public outcry for the Knight, again)

Football is just suffering , like all businesses , from the recession which despite Osborne and Cameron's opinion is still with us. Even the Emirates had a few gaps last weekend.
Let's hope the "free kids" offer swells the County crowd and helps it to grow for the rest of the season.
Come on Mr. Pearlman, stop trying to justify the original article which was misleading and didn't help the County one bit.
7:48am Wed 14 Nov 12
Phil Tanner says...
Reportedly the number of their STs which are cheaper than the cheapest at County are for the worst views in a 47,000-seat stadium, number fewer than100 and are available only as renewals.
A less dishonest comparison would mention that a season ticket for the best seat at Rodney Parade costs the same as for the most expensive, and the most expensive ST at Man City is just short of 700 quid. And the elephant in the room is that gate money is small change to Man City. The owners can afford to write off hundreds of millions. Without this subsidy - i.e. if they used County's business model - even the cheapest ST would cost thousands.
Did you ever respond to the Forest Green official who accused you here of making up stuff about their transfer fee policy to suit the line you wanted to trot out? That one was about how bad owner subsidies are because they distort the game - EXACTLY the thing you are speaking up for here with the silly Man City parallel.
For the avoidance of doubt, I'm making these points purely as an individual supporter who hates dishonest journalism.

lowandhardandinthecorner says...
Is the smaller crowd at the Dragons games and reduced public spending on the high street due to the comparative cost of Man City season tickets as well? Of course not - it's fickle crowds and the recession.

Albany-- It's a new business boom for one Southwest Georgia city.
Store owner Canda Davis says, "This is something I always wanted to do and here I am."
Four new shops opened today in Dawson. A bakery, beauty shop, alterations store and florist are open on the same block of South Main Street in Dawson.
For most of a decade, the stores sat empty. Now, the street is bustling with activity.
A new sidewalk for the two-hundred block of South Main, and a new business as well. Davis says, "It has always been a lifetime dream of mine, since I was a little girl to own something of my own."
Canda Davis is the owner of Davis Alterations. Her shop is brand new and her neighbors are new to the block as well.
"It's a blessing, that's the reason why I named it Blessed Beginnings." Dawn Jones is the stylist at Blessed Beginnings beauty shop.
She says her clients love seeing this block of South Main busy once again, "It makes them think about the old days how this area is filled up, it brings back memories."
These new business owners are trying to make new memories, Davis says, "I put in a lot of time, effort and hard work, it will work." They are also trying to make there new businesses succeed.
More than fifteen years ago, that block of South Main was populated mostly with bars and restaurants. Since then, only two businesses have remained steadily open.

About Locust
ca. 1790 Georgian mansion, restored and furnished to
its original appearance and situated on 55 rolling acres
just six miles up river from downtown Louisville, tells
the story of its builders, William and Lucy Clark Croghan.
William Croghan (pronounced "Crawn"), an Irish
immigrant, came to the Kentucky territory as a surveying
partner with his future brother-in-law, George
Rogers Clark. Lucy Clark and William Croghan were
married in 1789 at her parents home, Mulberry
Hill. Construction at Locust Grove began the following
year. Here, as early settlers, the Croghans reared their
family and farmed their land with the assistance of
some 30
to 45 enslaved African-Americans. In 1809, they
made welcome General George Rogers Clark, founder of
Louisville and conqueror of the Northwest Territory,
who lived at Locust Grove the last nine years of his
Croghans standing in the community and General
Clarks presence made Locust Grove a gathering
place for political and social figures of the period.
A neighboring farm, Springfield, was the boyhood home
of future President, Zachary Taylor. President James
Monroe and General Andrew Jackson were guests of the
Croghans in 1819, and Jackson returned for a visit in
1825 with his wife, Rachel.
In an attempt to gain support for the establishment
of a separate colony west of the Mississippi, Vice-President
Aaron Burr traveled throughout the Mississippi and Ohio
River valleys. Among other places, he stopped at Louisville,
meeting with General George Rogers Clark at Locust Grove.
General Clark, however, did not become involved in the
plan. Artist John James Audubon was acquainted with
Major Croghan and became friends with his sons. In 1841,
Locust Grove was the site of a duel between the fiery
Kentucky statesman Cassius Marcellus Clay and Robert
Wickliffe. William
Clark, younger brother to Lucy and George Rogers
Clark, concluded his famous expedition through the Louisiana
Territory with fellow explorer Meriwether Lewis in Louisville
in 1806.
the houses built in Jefferson County in the late eighteenth
century, Locust Grove was one of the finest. The Croghan
family sold the property in 1878 to river boat captain
James Paul. In 1883 Richard Waters, of Hermitage Farm,
bought Locust Grove and it remained in the Waters family
until 1961 when the site was purchased by Jefferson
County and the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Following extensive
restoration the historic house was opened to the public
in 1964. Today the site includes the circa 1790 Georgian
house, the original smoke house and eight other stone
and log supporting farm buildings, formal quadrant gardens,
herb, perennial and annual beds, woods and meadows.
The house is furnished with some of the finest examples
of Kentucky-crafted furniture, portraits, prints, textiles,
domestic objects and select artifacts originally belonging
to the Clark and Croghan families. Locust Grove, a National
Historic Landmark, is a unique example of early Kentucky
architecture, craftsmanship and history.

Folks teed off for the annual Fort Gordon Fisher House golf tournament Friday.
The tournament benefits the Fisher House.
Stephanie Garold, the co-chair for the golf tournament, said, "The Fisher House, for those of you who don't know is kind of like Ronald McDonald House. So it's a place where military families can come stay free of charge while their loved one is in a medical facility."
Retired Sgt. Maj, Ronald Price played the tournament because of what the Fisher House does.
"The Fisher House Foundation supports the soldiers and family of the soldiers; and that is why I'm here, I am a retired 30 year veteran and I strongly believe in the Fisher House foundation," Price, said.

Mr. Clean AutoDry CarwashBy: Amy Jacquin
Drying your car can be a pain, wringing-out a chamois or towel. You may be able to toss the chamois away, if Mr Clean AutoDry Car wash lives up to its claims.
"Put the filter in, first," Amy Jacquin reads directions as her volunteers work on the product.
She gets the guys at Smiley's Automotive Detailing in Cape Girardeau to help test Mr Clean's Auto Dry Car wash. Makers promise a spot-free shine with no need to hand dry. It requires a special filter, and special soap. Makers say to ONLY use Auto Dry soap... Because it contains a dry rinse polymer that works with the de-ionized water for a spot-free result. So we bought the starter kit for $25.
"Dish soap is the worst thing you can use on a car, because it eats the wax right off," says owner Smiley Smith.
Mr Clean Auto Dry is set-up so you just turn a knob and spray. After the Jeep is wet, employee Kyle Barks switches to "soap" and suds appear.
"It smells good!" Amy exclaims. "Yea, it does," they echo.
Smiley uses a mitt to scrub the Jeep clean.
And he's admittedly sceptical about the product...
"I don't think it's going to dry without leaving spots," he shrugs his shoulders. "I'll be impressed if it does."
Directions say to rinse with regular water first, then switch to Auto Dry's special "de-ionized" filtering process. It sounds like a mini-jet engine warming up... But the spray is much softer. You can see the sheeting action right away...
"It instantly takes off the water beads, that you normally try to get!" laughs Kyle.
The reason people want to see water beads, is to show your car is waxed... which Smiley does often. Mr Clean says Auto Dry does NOT strip your wax, and we'll test that claim later. After they finish rinsing the Jeep, Smiley pulls it outside for easier air drying.
"I don't see any water streaks or spots," he says after about 5 minutes. "So it's doing what it says it'll do. I didn't think it would work that well."
"Nope, no spots on it." adds Kyle. "Whether it takes 15 or 20 or 30 minutes to dry, that's time you're not having to use to dry it yourself."
But we're not finished yet. Remember the claim that Auto Dry does not strip wax? Makers promise that water beads will come back with the next rain, proving you still have wax on your vehicle. So we rinse Smiley's jeep with regular water, to see how many water beads return.
"I don't see any beads," he says, shaking his head. "So I'm thinking it may have washed my wax off. And that's not good."
Smiley waxes a small part of the hood, and runs some water over it... Boom! The beads are back!
"See, now that's when you have wax on your car," he says.
We're not convinced Mr Clean Auto Dry does not remove wax. So if that's important to you, do your own comparison. But it does leave a spot-free shine, is pretty easy to use, and not too expensive. So overall, we give Mr. Clean Auto Dry a C+.
