I sponsor a child in poverty with Compassion International because . . .
I sponsor children in poverty with Compassion International because it was the Lord's plan. I had no intention of sponsoring. Doubt filled me when seeing various commercials on tv with images of starving children from around the world. Sometimes I couldn't take looking at the images. Then I'd question whether or not the children received the money due to greedy corporate hands and would start channel surfing. God had a different plan. One Sunday I attended the Howard University Chapel Services and Tony Campolo just happened to be hosting Compassion Sunday. He boldly stated that Christians need to get out of themselves and become involved in the community-locally or internationally. My ears, my mind, and my heart were opened and received what he said. Then I walked to a Compassion Booth and signed up to sponsor my first child, Jeferson from Colombia. Now I can't imagine not sponsoring. In fact, I wish that I could sponsor more children.
God asked me to.
God laid it on my heart when I was in college and heard Bart Campolo speak about Compassion. At the time I could only afford to sponsor one child, but wanted to do more so I became an advocate. Since becoming a sponosr, I have seen that God mandates us to to…
Matt. 18:10 "do not look down on these little ones…"
Proverbs 31:8-9 "speak up for those who cannont speak up for themselves…"
Mark 9:37 "whoever welcomes these little childre…"
I could go on all day….
I sponsor a child in poverty with Compassion International because over 10 years ago my husband and I went through financial hardships and I am finally to the place I can turn around and give back. I sponsor through Compassion International because they are an organization that I can trust to provide for my sponsor child.
God placed it on my heart and directed me to this particular company
I sponsor a child in poverty – – – because I am so blessed daily with so much from Heavenly Father and to serve Him, I share what He has given me. And more than things, He gives me eternal life and hope, and so I share that hope with our sponsored child by my words and my actions.
I sponsor children in poverty because I am blessed and I want to give back.
I sponsor a child in poverty because…I feel every child deserves the opportunity to hear how much God loves them and to have God's love demonstrated through another person. I cannot fix all the problems in the world but I can help one or two of God's precious little ones to have the opportunities to succeed.
Also because I have been so richly blessed by God and I want to follow his commands to take care of the poor and needy and to look after children and orphans.
I sponsor a child in poverty through Compassion International because… of their record of financial integrity and faithful service to the children for the past 50+ years.
I know that when I sponsor a child through Compassion my money goes where they say it will and that time and prayer has gone into how best to impact the children for eternity.
I sponsor a child in poverty because God told me it was time to take action, rather than continue to think about it–the commercials on TV kept reminding me.
I sponsor with Compassion because I trust this organization's financial integrity (among other qualities).
I sponsor a child in poverty because I promised Our Blessed Saviour that I would! A long time ago I promised Him that I would sponsor at least one child and now I sponsor several(including one with WV).I also sponsor because I deeply care about the extreme poor who really don't have anything else to fall back on,especially in Africa. How can I say that I love God and my fellow man but sit back and do nothing??
I sponsor a child with Compassion International because I think that they are probably the best child sponsorship organization out there. Plus I always get replies to my letters from the girls I sponsor! It's so exciting!!
Oh oh…didn't post…grr..Growling at WordPress!!!
I sponsor a child in poverty because…it works! I have sponsored children for the last 26 years and have seen my sponsored children change from shy, unconfident children without hope in their eyes to happy, self-sufficient, educated men and women.
I sponsor with Compassion International because I have heard only good about the organisation. I started with one Compassion child, I now have 3.
We started sponsoring children through Compassion many years ago when our children were very tiny. Our hearts were touched by the things Jesus had to say about children and about helping those in need, and we were very aware of how agonizing it would be for a parent to be unable to provide basic necessities for her child. We continue to be sponsors, partly in obedience to Jesus, but also now because it is one of the greatest joys in our lives.
I sponsor a child in poverty with Compassion International because…
God laid it on my heart and I want to teach my daughters how to care for others.
Jesus wept
i sponsor because i have relatives from my sponsor child's country……..and i know the difficulties of life there….when you actually see the life of a people in person it really makes me know how blessed i am to live in u.s.a….i hope that poverty can be tackled with dignity and love……..
I sponsor children in poverty because God had laid it on my heart to do so. I also sponsor children in poverty because I care deeply about children and want them to know about God love for them.
I sponsor through compassion because through this organization you know where the money is going and you also are able to develop a personal relationship with the children you sponsor through letters. And I love recieving their letters.
I sponsor through Compassion because I also feel this is what God wants me to do. I am also EXTREMELY impressed with their financial integrety and with the way they focus so much on the relationship aspect of sponsorship. The are so well documented as far as child/sponsor correspondence and I really appreciate their focus on relationship building with your child.
God laid child sponsorship on my heart long, long ago, when I was in my early 20's and couldn't afford even $9/month. It was about 35 years before I realized I could afford to sponsor, but I didn't know which organization would be most trustworthy and effective.
The first time I passed a Compassion table, I stopped to look. I kept saying half to myself, "I can do this!" Then that still, small voice inside said, "You *can* do this. This is it!"
Never in 6 years have I had reason to doubt Compassion's integrity or effectiveness. I have seen it at work in the field and in the children I sponsor. I love that Compassion is Christ-centered, child-focused and church-based. It's a winning formula!
My wife and I sponsor children in poverty because we want to hold loosely the financial resources God has given to us and use them for eternal purposes.
A recent joy was hearing from our 16 year-old female that she had chosen to be baptized as a public confession of her faith in Christ. Eternal value to which earthly treasures will never compare.
Because I felt that God called me to do so. I am fortunate enough to be able to sponsor two children through Compassion. Though I just became a sponsor two months ago, my family has been greatly blessed by it.
Ever since I was a little girl I have had a deep compassion for people… always wanting to help those who could not help themselves. (Unfortunately, except for an occasional act of "personal kindness" over the years, those dreams of compassion have remained just that… only a dream.)For as long as I could remember, I have had a desire to be a missionary in Africa, but again, that desire remains only a dream. So… what real difference have I ever made?
For me, sponsoring a child through Compassion is one way to help make those dreams become a reality, not only for myself, but also for a child.
Thank you
I sponsor two little girls from Uganda, because I have seen first hand how Compassion has assisted in raising children to be solid, confident, Christian adults. Everywhere I went in Uganda, they would comment on how much Compassion has made a difference in their country..I am honored and humbled to be a part of making a difference in a child's life….
I feel that I have been blessed with so much, and I wanted to be able to help a child have more hope for their own future. I sponsor a 4 year old girl in Rwanda and hearing about her going to school, learning about Jesus and his love for her, and all the other wonderful things she is doing, just makes my heart swell with love for her.
Because God told me to. He put a burden so strongly in my heart. I had seen the tv ads all of my life and was sad…but this burden left me sobbing. I am the proud sponsor of 2 beautiful children now and more to come…I believe that this will be my calling…children in need. Thank you compassion for helping me to do the work of the Lord!!
I sponsor for a couple of reasons.
Even though I am American and very, very blessed now – I missed MANY meals when I was a child because my parents were addicts and would rather spend their money on drugs and booze. To this day I can't stand the thought of a child going hungry.
I sponsor because I want my girl in India to know that someone DOES love her and care for her.
I sponsor because Jesus said whatever we do for the little ones we do for HIM!!
….God was calling me to do it! Am I so thankful that I chose to sponsor Kyakunzire Pamela! Watching her grow up has been a priveledge!
I totally agree with Dyan Johnson!
Ever since I was a little 6 year old. I would lay awake in my bed at night thinking about how someday I wanted to sponsor children and go to Africa one day. It has been a desire I believe God has put on my heart.
I sponsor from Compassion because they have Christ involved.
I've wanted to sponsor a child for years. While flipping through tv channels I kept seeing programs devoted to helping children in other countries. (you know, those real sad tear-jerker programs?)
My heart wanted to help, but I was always dubious about whether the money would go to the children or not. Then one day I saw another tear-jerker program and got the idea to research companies online. That research brought me to Compassion International.
I sponsor through Compassion International because not only are they honest and you can tell just exactly where your money is going… but because I was delighted to learn that I could have a relationship with the child I sponsored.
The website made all the difference in my case… All the information I needed was there. I just had to follow the path to get to the website…. :o)
I sponsor a child because it is the most direct way to help someone in need
I sponsor a child in poverty because God compels me, not to keep my wealth, but to give it away freely. He has come to bring good news to the poor!
I sponsor a child in poverty because – We are commanded to take care of the least of these by Jesus.
I sponsor a child through Compassion because they have a Christ-centered approach to rescuing children that are in the grips of poverty. They love and present Jesus to the children. They love and serve them even if the child never accepts Jesus.
I sponsor a child in poverty with Compassion International because God put Melany in our hands and we could not give her back. We have had her in our family for 4 years now. After I had miscarried 3 years ago God put Rezu and Daniel into our lives while on a cruise with Michael W. Smith. The heartache of the loss was quelched once these two where added to our family. These children are like my own and to get their letters are so precious to us. Our family was in tears as we opened a letter from Melany to tell us that the $300 that we gifted her family went to buy a refridgerator so her mom could store more foods for her business. Can you imagine how that little amount to us meant that she could increase her business to earn more for her family. We now live life more clearly with the knowledge of what helping others can do.
because it's what Jesus has asked me to do..care for the least of these.
Thank you Compassion for all you do!
After many years of thinking about sponsoring a child, it was time to put those thoughts into action. My sponsorship is given as gratitude for the many blessings of my life including my children and grandchildren. We are all called to reach out to those in need. My grandsons are close in age to Felix, and I intend to make my sponsorship a family affair by having them participate with me.
Out of the abundance of what God has provided for us we want to bless others. It is such a privilege to be able to make a difference in the life of a child. We see it in the photos we have from her that we are making a difference to her. She looks happier. Because we sponsor with Compassion we know that we also make a difference to her community.
I sponsor a child because Jesus is my sponsor.
Last year God brought some speaking opportunities my way. In each of these cases, I did not ask for a speaker's fee–I just accepted whatever the church offered me. In November I received a generous honorarium, but I kept feeling like God was saying to me, "Sponsor a child. You don't need the money. Don't keep it for yourself. Give it away." And so I did. I have read about each of the blogger's trips (which I would LOVE to do someday), and my heart has been touched each time. It was finally time to do something about it.
As I was deciding who to sponsor, my 12-year-old daughter came to me and asked, "Mom, what country were you thinking of?" I said I didn't know which country, but I was definitely thinking Africa. My daughter got a slight smile on her face and said, "Were you thinking boy or girl?" I said I thought girl (we have three daughters, so I obviously have a heart for girls). She grinned again. She said, "How about a girl from Ethiopia? In honor of C?" (C is my daughter's friend down the street who was adopted from Ethiopia, along with her brother.) I told her I thought that was a fantastic idea, so we have adopted a girl from Ethiopia in honor of my daughter's friend, C. It brings us so much joy to be able to do this.
Thank you for all you are doing.
…because i believe we can change the world one child at a time by showing them there is something bigger than their problems…. The love of Christ.
I sponsor a child in poverty because more than enough of my life as been about me me me. And it isn't about me. It's about HIM.
I sponsor a child in poverty because….
The Lord had been dealing with me about the area of adoption. He needed to teach me some things, and soften my heart to others. He laid it on my heart to start by "financially adopting" a child.
After checking around various sponsorship programs, I felt Compassion was the organization I was to get involved with. I'm so thankful for this organization!
I just received my first letter from my sponsor "child" (she's actually a teenager, a young lady). What a blessing it is to be a part of this ministry!
I sponsor a child because it's just the right thing to do….I just so happened to be browsing on the site (maybe I was "pushed" toward the site, I don't know) and I came across the children who had been waiting the longest. I saw the little girl from Rwanda who had been waiting about 10 months, and I knew that I couldn't have her wait any longer! I consider her to be my angel. She's just beautiful.

Cat Allergies
Cat Allergies (Feline Allergies)
Signs and Symptoms
Just as humans can be tormented by the troubling symptoms of allergies, so can cats. An allergic reaction occurs when the immune system overreacts to the presence of a substance or material that is not harmful. This type of overreaction is common amongst cats, especially young and middle-aged felines. Cat allergies can be caused by a wide variety of different substances and are generally divided into four categories — food allergies, flea allergies, contact allergies, and inhalant allergies. These different types of allergies can all cause a number of troubling and uncomfortable symptoms, some of which are shared between categories and others that are more unique to a specific type of allergy. Yet, all symptoms of feline allergies tend to manifest themselves in three ways — through skin reactions, the respiratory system, or the digestive system.
Cats are generally not born with food allergies. Rather, they tend to develop such sensitivities to foods that they have eaten for quite some time. The most common sign of a food allergy in a cat is non-seasonal itching, which may be especially intense around the animal's head and neck. The excessive scratching, chewing, and biting caused by this itching can sometimes lead to hair loss. Ear infections are also common amongst cats suffering from food allergies. Other typical symptoms involve signs of digestive distress, such as diarrhea and gas.
Flea allergies are the most common type of allergies in cats. A cat without this type of allergy typically only experiences minor itching and irritation as a result of fleas and flea bites. On the other hand, a cat that is allergic to these insects will develop a severe reaction, even from just one bite. Signs that your cat is suffering from a flea allergy include extreme scratching and biting, even to the point of causing hair loss. Sometimes this intense scratching can cause sores or scabs, which can then potentially lead to a skin infection. In the case of flea allergies, this itching most typically occurs above the cat's tail. Sometimes, little black flecks referred to as "flea dirt" may be visible on the cat's skin. However, this is not always the case as cats with this type of allergy often do not have a large number of fleas.
Contact allergies are the least common type of allergy to affect cats. This type of allergy involves a local reaction to material such as a flea collar or wool bedding. Generally, a cat suffering from a contact allergy will exhibit localized itching where it came in contact with the triggering substance. In contrast to contact allergies, inhalant allergies are very common amongst felines. This type of allergy is also known as atopy and involves an overreaction to an environmental, airborne substance such as pollen, mildew, dust mites, or animal dander. As with other types of feline allergies, the most common symptom displayed by cats with this problem is itching. In many cases, this irritation will be most severe around the face, chest, belly, and feet. Sometimes this itching will be seasonal, but if the triggering agent is around continuously or in large numbers, the itching may be constant. Other signs of inhalant allergies include forms of respiratory distress, such as wheezing and sneezing.
Based upon these clinical signs, it can often be difficult to distinguish the type of allergy that is affecting your cat. However, if your pet is experiencing severe itching, with or without other symptoms, there is a good chance that he or she is suffering from some form of feline allergies. In such circumstances, it's always a good idea to contact your veterinarian as soon as possible in order to protect and promote your pet's health and comfort.
A diagnosis of cat allergies is often made with the aid of laboratory tests. Serum allergy tests involve looking at the part of the blood that is composed of white blood cells and fluid, but not red blood cells. This part of the blood is called the serum. High levels of immunoglobulin E in a cat's serum can indicate that the feline patient is suffering from allergies or a parasitic infection that triggers a similar response. Other tests, such as a radioallergosorbent serum test (RAST) or intradermal skin test, are used in order to identify specific antigens that cause a reaction in your pet. In the case of an intradermal skin test, small amounts of different potential antigens are injected under the feline patient's skin. If the injection site becomes red and swollen, this suggests that the injected antigen could be one of the causes of the cat's allergies. However, pinpointing the exact triggers of your cat's allergies can be difficult, and often an animal will react to several different substances rather than just one.
A food elimination trial is another method that may be used in an attempt to reach a diagnosis. During such a trial, a cat is only allowed to eat a special diet. After several weeks, one type of food will be introduced to the special diet. If no symptoms occur in response to the addition of this food, you will know that your cat is not allergic to that type of food. More foods are added one at a time, and symptoms are checked after each addition. While this is one of the best methods for diagnosing cat allergies, especially food allergies, a food elimination trial can take eight to twelve weeks and the feline patient cannot receive any treats or extras during that time. As a result, this method is very time-consuming and can sometimes be challenging for both pets and owners. However, if food allergies are the cause of your cat's distress, identifying the causative agent can greatly increase your pet's comfort and quality of life.
Allergies involve the overreaction of the immune system in response to a substance that is normally not harmful. This substance or material that triggers the allergic response is referred to as an antigen. When an encounter occurs between an antigen and the body's white blood cells, the immune system triggers the release of histamine. Histamine causes the dilation of capillaries, so blood flow to the affected area is increased, causing it to become warm, puffy, and itchy. While allergies are very uncomfortable for cats, they can also be potentially dangerous as they can lead to ear and skin infections as well as Cat Asthma.
The causes and triggers of cat allergies are numerous and varied. The most common cause of allergy symptoms in cats, however, is fleas. Other substances that frequently cause an allergic response from felines include beef, eggs, yeast, dairy, chicken, pork and rice as well as pollens, mold and mosquitos. Food allergies can show up when a cat experiences a change in diet, or they can develop in response to food that a cat has been eating for an extended period of time. In many cases, a cat's immune system will overreact to several different antigens, rather than just one. This is especially true when the causes are environmental. It is because there are so many potential triggers of cat allergies that it can often be very difficult to pinpoint the specific cause or causes for an individual feline patient.
The treatment required for a cat's allergies will depend upon the type of allergy and the causative agents responsible for the hypersensitivity reactions. For example, contact allergies generally only require preventing exposure to the antigen. Similarly, in the case of food allergies, removing the triggering food from the cat's diet will often be enough to solve the problem. However, with respect to environmental antigens, treatment may be more complex.
Since there is no actual cure for allergies, reducing exposure and symptoms are the main goals of treatment. In the case of environmental antigens, it can be difficult to reduce exposure sufficiently to prevent the occurrence of troubling symptoms. For instance, if the triggering antigen is airborne pollen, it's practically impossible to completely eliminate exposure. However, certain actions such as using an air filter, keeping windows closed, and rinsing your pet's feet when it comes in from outside can help to reduce the impact of environmental antigens.
There are also several forms of medical treatment available whose primary aim is to reduce allergy symptoms. In some cases, allergy shots may be used. This often involves injecting the feline patient with a serum specially developed according to the substances that the individual cat is allergic to. However, such shots are often an expensive form of treatment and are not effective for all felines. Furthermore, while antihistamines provide an effective form of allergy treatment for humans, they tend to be ineffective for most felines.
There are a number of natural treatment options for cat allergies as well. Some animals are helped by a supplement of omega 3 fatty acids, which can be found in fish oil and reduce the immune system's susceptibility to overreact to the presence of antigens. In addition, yucca is a natural substance that acts as an anti-inflammatory and can be administered daily to reduce and prevent allergy symptoms. Natural tonics can also provide significant relief for cats suffering from allergies. Such products consist of natural ingredients with a variety of beneficial properties. For example, myrrh and milk vetch reduce inflammation, soothe irritation, and promote healing. As a result, there are several different natural substances that can be very effective with regards to treating cat allergies and reducing the irritating and uncomfortable symptoms that such hypersensitivity reactions can cause.

About Kellie Pickler
Her life is a country song (Created March 6, 2013)
Kellie Pickler didn't need FOX television stalwart "American Idol" to make her a star. The Albemarle, North Carolina native lived the heartache and sadness of a classic country song. But this former Sonic waitress, cheerleader and beauty queen used a Southern twang and some good ole' fashioned blonde ambition to kick in doors in the music industry and beyond.
Imagine, for a moment, being abandoned by your mother at the age of two. Imagine her returning to take custody of you years later, only to be physically and emotionally abusive and then disappear again – this time for good. Imagine not having a father because he's been in and out of jail throughout your childhood. Imagine being the center of court battles, and eventually raised by your grandparents. This wasn't a movie or TV script, but Pickler's life until she auditioned for "American Idol" in the fall of 2005.
While it's true that Pickler probably reached the Top 12 on "Idol" thanks in part to her 'quirky' personality and funny mispronunciation of words, she also tackled songs like Martina McBride's "How Far," Patsy Cline's "Walkin' After Midnight" and Todd Duncan's "Unchained Melody" before she was eliminated from the competition. She pursued a record deal in Nashville shortly thereafter, signing with BNA Records on July 17, 2006.
Though Pickler has made more headlines for her personal life than for her music, the three albums she's recorded have charted a number of hits. From her "Small Town Girl" debut in 2006 to an eponymous album two years later, singles like "I Wonder," "Don't You Know You're Beautiful" and "Best Days of Your Life" had her in the running for Top New Female Vocalist at the ACM Awards, and New Artist of the Year at the CMA Awards. Her latest project, "100 Proof," is another collection of songs that tackle the emotional intensity of her first two albums.
Married to songwriter Kyle Jacobs, whom she wed on June 15, 2010, Pickler is a recognized vegetarian, a long-time supporter of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and has participated in three USO tours. She recently became the first "Idol" contestant to be cast on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars."

Black Studies Program
Black Studies Program
The curriculum of the Black Studies Program focuses on the U.S. as it relates specifically
to the Africa and African diaspora societies. With this focus, students study the historical,
sociological, and cultural aspects of these various worlds and their relationship with one
another and controlling forces among them. Highlighted are Black achievements and the
creative contributions in all fields throughout the world. With this background, both
Black students and students from other cultures and races can gain a new-found appreciation
for this heritage as well as a better understanding of the framework in which ongoing struggles
are still taking place.
The Black Studies Program (BLST) is concerned with Africa and the African diaspora
communities, with a special focus on the U.S. as it is related to the Black world. The learning
outcomes based on the program's curriculum for majors are knowledge of the main
theories, events, and/or issues associated with
- the history, sociocultural dynamics, and problems and possibilities in the Black world
- theories of oppression based on race, color, socioeconomic class, gender, and
sexuality along with their interrelationships, as well as practical ways to struggle
against these types of oppression
- the history and future of science and technology originating inside and outside of the
Black world
- the political economies of Black world societies in the global context
- personal finance, entrepreneurship, strategies for success, and strategies for
defining success
- the history of black achievement
- the history and creative output of black peoples in the literary, visual, musical, and
performing arts
With these outcomes, the program's mission is twofold:
- to provide an intellectual setting in which students from the Black world can grow and
develop into productive lifelong learners, citizens, and activists seeking to improve
their communities, their nations, and the world
- to provide an intellectual setting in which students from all communities can gain a
knowledge of the Black world, assisting them in confronting diversity in their
development into productive, lifelong learners, citizens, and activists seeking to
improve their communities, their nations, and the world
Subject Matter Areas
- Black World Development
- Business, Science & Technology
- African American Society
- Latin American & Caribbean Cultures
- Special Topics & Independent Studies
Geopolitical Areas
- Africa
- The Americas
- The Caribbean

My WH Pro theme keeps reverting to the "Default" images and text which come with the theme. The worst thing is that it does so unpredictably, sometimes within minutes, sometimes within 15 hours. Is there anything that could be suggested as to why this may be happening? Please note that I am able to completely restore using the "restore from database" function in the WH Pro feature page. Furthermore, this revert to default content is ONLY happening with the WH Feature page. All of my blog and static pages are fine. I am only guessing that it might not necessarily be a DB problem since, after all, I am able to recall from that same database the correct settings. Any suggestions would be appreciated. >PS I am hosting with Godaddy shared hosting (if that means anything to you!) and I am using PHP 5.

Would mean anthing that the images linked to in the Feature Page are not in the Wordpress standard "uploads" folder, out of curiousity? -Luke
Posted 08 December 2009 - 03:15 PM
Can anyone possibly even tell me what command could be used if I wanted to setup a CRON to execute the "restore from database" script as in the WH Feature section?
Posted 08 December 2009 - 07:09 PM
ok. Well lets figure this one out. A couple of other users have complained about this, but seem to have figured it out. Is the 'restore from database' functionality working correctly?
Posted 08 December 2009 - 10:29 PM
Yes the restore from database is functioning correctly. Well.. by "correct" i mean I click it, I get the popup asking me if I am sure, I click yes. When I refresh my website page all the information I have input is there, so when I hate the "backup to Db" function it is definitely being saved somewhere.... Let me know whatever I can answer so we can try to resolve this. Thanks. -Luke
Posted 08 December 2009 - 11:05 PM
I believe this is being caused by a setting at your DB provider (most likely 'secureserver') If you look into it and find a solution there let me know.. if not, I'm going to build a 'redundant control' into the theme to take into account your situation. Essentially a bug fix So hang tight, we'll get it done.

Like most children of the 1980s, I grew up with G.I. Joe. And while I thought the Real American Hero troops were cool and all, Cobra was so much cooler.
Yes, yes, the outfits were originally fascist inspired, sure, but as the 1980s series progressed, Cobra got increasingly ridiculous. And by ridiculous, I mean wonderful. And the character designs have aged very well. No wonder that decades later people are still cosplaying as the iconic Cobra character.
The above gallery is mostly Cobra heavy, with some Joe team members like Snake Eyes thrown in for good measure. Have a look at some—but not all—of the best G.I. Joe cosplay the internet has to offer. Many of the photos are great as well.

Fly Friendly/Quiet Departure Program
As part of the VNY Part 150 Noise Compatibility Program, the Board of Airport Commissioners (BOAC) approved a voluntary Fly Friendly Program for jet aircraft that was established in 1994 to address the community noise issue. This voluntary program consists primarily of the Quiet Departure Program (QDP), which sets not-to-exceed target departure noise levels for specific jet aircraft types. Pilots adhere to the program by using noise abatement procedures approved by airplane manufacturers and the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) when departing VNY.
Due to changes in fleet mix, amount of new aircraft operators and new aircraft types operating into and out of VNY, the program was updated in 2011 to include
new target noise levels
and to expand the number of jet aircraft types included in the program.
Friendly Flyer Award
The updated program also includes an annual "Friendly Flyer" award acknowledging those operators who have the highest level of success in adhering to the program and who also follow established noise abatement policies and procedures. Below are the criteria for the annual Friendly Flyer award:
2013 Friendly Flyer Award Winners
2013 Fly Friendly Award winners pictured with Chief Airport Engineer Cynthia Guidry (bottom row 2nd from right), Airport Environmental Manager Scott Tatro (bottom row 1st from left), Environmental Affairs Officer Kathryn Pantoja (bottom row 1st from right) and VNY Noise Office Leonard Krugler (top row 3rd from right). The winners pictured are representing Flexjet, Glenbrook Capital Logistics, LLC., Dreamline Aviation, LLC., Clay Lacy Aviation, AVJET Corporation and Worldwide Jet Charter, LLC. (top row left to right); Aviation Consultants, Inc. and West Cost Charters, LLC. (bottom row left to right).
Los Angeles World Airports is pleased to announce the following winners of the 2nd Annual Van Nuys Airport Friendly Flyer Award for Calendar Year 2013. The awards were presented at the BOAC meeting on June 2, 2014 in Van Nuys. The award winners were also commended by BOAC President Sean O. Burton after the presentation. LAWA encourages all operators to Fly Friendly into and out of VNY. You too may be a winner based on your performance for the next calendar year!
Monthly QDP Reports
The Quiet Departure Program monthly report is comprised of the Noise Exceedance Report and the Summary by Owner Report. The Noise Exceedance Report displays the details associated with each operation that failed to depart VNY at or below the established target levels. The Summary by Owner Report provides a compreshensive list of the all owner/operators, including those that successfully complied with the program.

Good morning, gentlemen.
A sync is A fragrance you love but hate its Ad (Description). WIll go with YSL Opium (hate them humongous feet). Have nothing to do all morning and am unwell with dripping nose, sneezing and coughing.
Hell all. Its cold and bright here and totally off the wall I am wearing Hermes Un Jardin Sur Toit! Yes a summer garden in the autumn.
Oh Twolf! Get well soon my dear.
Mirroring Donna by wearing Escale a Portofino in the Autumn.
Beautiful day here also, will go for a long walk shortly.
A woman without perfume is like a flower without a scent.
Feel better soon, Twolf!
Wearing Une Voix Noire today.
Enjoy the weekend, lovelies!
Do happy
Wolfie I hope you feel better soon!
SOTD is Parfums de Nicolai Balkis. Scrumptious!
Notes include raspberry, Turkish rose, black pepper, coffee extract, iris, benzoin and vanilla

Haven't got my sh!t together for the sync today. Sorry bonsai. Anyway, I'm going into town so will go in the nuddy so that I can try something.
....Bonjour Mesdames!
Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."

I am not synchronized as I quite like the marketing for this one but since it is "cold" today (about 70F) and it's been hot so long I am in another cool weather scent, Like This for Tilda Swinton by Etat Libre DeOrange.
Good morning everyone!
I'm in sync. This was an easy one for me - I've even mentioned it here several times. I can't stand the trashy ad campaign for Dior Addict but I just adore this fragrance. I get it - with that name they'd want to go for an edgy, raw and strung-out feel in the ads, but they're just so vulgar and unappealing to me ...I think they're actually a part of why I avoided it for several years.
So, instead of that sleazy ad, here's another excellent René Gruau illustration for Dior Couture ...I really love this one. Y'all have a great day!
Oh no, ((Wolfie)) - I just hate to hear that you're feeling so icky. You need to rest and take it easy for a few days - just let MrT coddle and pamper you a bit, and rub your feet. That should get you feeling better in no time!
Congratulations 30 Roses - what an impressive milestone! We're lucky to have you!
Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality.

Oh Twolf, so sorry to hear your getting sick. Please take care of yourself and get well soon!!!!!!
Congrats, 30 Roses on reaching 9,000 posts!
Wearing Hermes Vanilla Galante this morning. I thought it would be a better choice for a doctor
appointment. Will be in sync later with Dior Addict, whose advertising is probably my least favorite.
Have a great day!

I'm having a little musk fest this morning: A dab of Bonne Bell Skin Musk oil, and another of Jovan Musk Oil, and a spritz of Kiehl's Original Musk edt over that for good measure. I was considering a dab of Egyptian musk, too, but I stopped at Kiehl's. I can't think of any synch possibilities today. I'm not all that aware of advertising. I seldom read magazines and I never see perfume ads on tv either. I'm a hobbit, I live in the Shire.
(((RHM))), so sorry to hear about your mom. Hope she is doing well today and that poor girl of yours, too. Migraines are just awful. All my best to your family.
(((Twolf))), feel better soon! Please try to get some rest.
Synced in Kelly Caleche. Haven't seen a television ad for this but the print ad misses the mark entirely. Love the scent, though!
The nose wants what it wants!
Cello, I am loving the balloons! I meant to tell you that yesterday. They are so beautiful. I wish I were brave enough to ride in one -- but I hate heights. I think I just like enjoying them from the ground. Who are the couple (wife is dead now ) who went around wrapping bridges and things in fabric. I forget their names, but the balloons remind me of that sort of HUGE art. What is the music? I love it.

Glasses ready folks -
Hey all. So good to be back among you! I posted in the sync that I would wear Kelly Caleche, but when I went for it, my hands wandered instead to this present I got last year. I could not resist. It warms my soul. So, I set it up in my kitchen and snapped a quick photo, weird props and all.
I could chew my wrists when I wear this elixir.

Good Evening,
Wishing you a speedy return to good health, Wolfie.
Congrats on the mammoth milestone, 30 Roses!
800 balloons, a beautiful Gruauauauauaua illustration and a nekkid Foustie. Awesome
Tabac Blond extrait tonight.
Best to all.
KarmaLee, I adore Calèche. You smell delicious.
I'm wearing Chantilly edt by Houbigant this afternoon. I can't help it, my hand automatically reaches for it, and it never ever disappoints, so I wear it all the time now. I enjoy the bright citrussy beginning, the granny powdery florals, and then the vanilla/benzoin drydown. It is supposed to have a leather note, but it is sooo subtle. It is a very delicate leather, almost imperceptible.
I am not in sync right now (but I already know what I will sync later for tonight) trying another Dior sample, Leather Oud. There are very few leathers that I like (two, to be precise) and very few ouds that I like (not sure how many yet) but this one I can do. It's a serious leather and I do like it. Score!
Get well (((TWolf)))
30 Roses, congratulations! 9,000 posts, OMG.

It's a known fact I strongly object to Tom Ford's overt print ads.
So much so, I won't purchase a full size bottle of any of his fragrances.
However, he is a very talented guy. The scents which have tempted me the most (and by this I mean to spring for a FB) are: Absolute Amber, Moss Breches, Italian Cypress, Bois Marocain and Noir de Noir.
Considering there are so many of his I really enjoy, I guess it's a money saving position I'm taking.

Good evening and happy wine o'clock for those raising a glass.
I struggled to think of an ad that a) I knew and b) disliked but love the scent. Middle of the night when I woke for a worry I distracted my brain by thinking of perfume ads and thought of the pretentious mini film starting Nicole Kidman and directed by Baz Luhrman. So scent of the day had be the very wonderful No5
Thank you all for your good thoughts and prayers for my Mom. She's out of cardiac ICU and in a regular room. Everything is going well, her doctors are really please with the surgery.
Cello, I love the balloon videos. St Louis had a balloon festival recently. It was the first one I ever attended. No video but I got some great shots.

Hello again!
I'm in Van Cleef & Arpels Birmane for the afternoon. I guess I'm out of sync now since I don't mind this ad ...although after taking another look, I doubt it won any awards for being one of the best.
Ugh, RHM - I agree, those vulgar Tom Ford for Men ads are the absolute worst!! I rationalized my purchase of Noir de Noir by explaining to myself that it's from another line altogether, lol.
Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. ..Carl Sagan
I'm on bed rest for most of the week, staying with family during (it's no big thing, just routine). My mother thought it would cheer me up to coat the guest bed linens in the vintage Shalimar I recently bought her. Nothing I would ever do, but it's certainly one way to celebrate perfume. If only I had a more decadent attitude like she does. I'm in SMN Potpourri, trying to pay attention to work while bed-ridden. How very sub-Proustian ... 3-2-1 to switching over to reading or movies and saying to hell with it. Hope you're all having nice Fridays.
((RHM)) Just read your post about your mom's stent and Sofie's headache. It's a stressful time for your family. Get some extra sleep if you can.
((Wolfie)) I feel for you! I hate colds. Get lots of fluids-- chicken soup is always good!-- and don't do more work than you absolutely must.
My husband and I slept in until 11:30 this morning! (I got up to see my daughter off to school but then hit the sack again.) Sometimes you just need it.
Thanks for the all congrats on 9000 posts-- Jon noticed it before I did! Every time I reach one of these milestones I look around the house and imagine how much neater it would all be if I spent less time online!
I'm wearing a scented lotion sample of L'Ombre Dans L'Eau. It's highly perfumed, as far as lotions go, and very true to the scent of the liquid fragrance. Really nice scent for fall weather. I like this more than I like JM Blackberry & Bay and I seem to reach for both on the same sort of days.

Oh anomie, you too? Well, it's good that you have your mother taking care of you, with or without the vintage Shalimar, lol ...I actually think that's a very sweet gesture. I hope you feel better real soon!

I haven't seen any ads for a while so... out if synch. Donna Karan Signature.
Have a wonderful weekend!!!!
And yeah, mom's adorable like that! She must have used up a quarter of the bottle. Like many other women and men, I got my love of perfume from my mom. She has the best nose of anyone I've ever known. Used to try to hide smoking cigarettes from her as a teen: hours and a shower later, "I smell ... ash and smoke." One day I wore Habanita and told her what it was. Then weeks later and paces away "Oh, that must be Habanita again." I should just give up to the master and give her all my perfumes.
Out of sync, but musk twins with lilybelle today in DSH Winter White.
That's good news to hear, RHM. May she continue to steadily improve. More hugs for you, take good care of yourself through this time.
Congratulations 30 Roses! What a milestone! Thank you for all you do for us and BN!
No.5 EDP tonight. Guess I am still in sync. As Alityke's post reminded me, I am really no fan of the un-lifelike Nicole Kidman. Do love the Estella Warren ads that came before hers and Audrey Tatou's, which came after. Chanel really redeemed themselves in my eyes by hiring Ms. Tatou. But those Kidman ads- just, no.
The nose wants what it wants!
A little bit of (vintage formula) Samsara. Forgot I had it. It was hidden behind something else. Ha!
Happy weekend.
I send thee this sweet perfume a fragrance to the fragrant, as one would offer wine to the god of wine.
I forgot about the synch today. I'm wearing By Kilian Sweet Redemption.
Sending get-well vibes to all the sickies ...
I've trademarked the color bleu
RHM, I hope your mom is doing well after her stent placement and that your daughter can stay pain free, migraines are the worst.

Hey, everybody!
I just spoke to my Mom and she's doing great. The best part was her telling me how my brother and sisters had everyone laughing all day long. I know that made her very happy.
Sofie is recovered from the migraine from yesterday. We have a big warm up then cool down Saturday night, into Sunday. These climate shifts sometimes trigger her migraines, so we'll take precautions, as best we can.

Where to Research Before Remodeling a House
The annual Cost vs. Value Report is the most reliable and widely used guide for estimating return on remodeling investments. Hanley Wood and Remodeling Magazine publish the guide based on surveys conducted with members of the National Association of Realtors. The surveys ask about the changes in anticipated resale value based on specific remodeling projects. The results are tallied and listed as national and regional averages. The top national projects are:
- A $10,000 deck addition, which is estimated to recoup $8,700 in boosted resale value.
- A $10,000 siding replacement project, which will increase resale value by $8,300.
The poorest return on investment comes from a home office remodel, which recoups just 50 percent of the cost.
Pay attention to the cost estimates for each project on the Cost vs. Value report. Not all remodels offer the same home resale value. A new countertop will raise the home value, but a granite countertop may be nearly as valuable to a buyer as a much more expensive Italian marble countertop.

Quick Start by Limestone Dooms Women's Soccer in 2-0 League Loss
September 12, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. A pair of first half goals led visiting Limestone College to a 2-0 shutout over Pfeiffer University in Conference Carolinas womens soccer action on Wednesday afternoon. The Saints improve to 3-2 overall, 2-0 in league play while the Lady Falcons fall to 2-3, 1-1.
Limestone struck early in the first half as Gabriella Reid (Birmingham, AL) chipped in her third of the year inside the right post for a 1-0 lead. Later in the 29th minute, Taylor Sanders (Charleston, SC) helped forced a turnover before scoring her third of the season on a 1-on-1 breakaway.
Pfeiffer had equalizing opportunities in the second half with shots by Aaliyah Jackson (Statesville, NC), Katie Collins (Concord, NC) and Becca Kirchner (Matthews, NC) without any luck in finding the back of the net. Each team fired eight shots on the day while Pfeiffer held a 5-2 advantage in corners. Limestone was whistled for five offside calls in the match.

Final Score: Eastern Michigan 48, Army 38
Ypsilanti, MI (Sports Network) - Tyler Benz threw a career-high five touchdowns as the Eastern Michigan Eagles get their first win of the season, defeating the Army Black Knights, 48-38, at Rynearson Stadium.
On top of the five scores, which went to five different receivers, Benz was 19-for-31 for 369 yards and a pick. Bronson Hill, who rushed for an Eastern Michigan (1-6) record 283 yards last week in a loss versus Toledo, ran for 185 yards and a score on 26 carries and caught three passes for 67 yards and a touchdown. Garrett Hoskins led the Eagles with seven receptions for 158 yards and a touchdown.
Army (1-6) quarterback Trent Steelman attempted just five passes, completing one for 19 yards. He did however run for a career-high 212 yards and two scores on 16 carries. Backup quarterback A.J. Schurr replaced Steelman in the fourth quarter and threw a late touchdown. Brandon Fusilier-Jeffries paced Army with 14 tackles.
Benz got off to a terrific start, throwing touchdown passes on his first two throws of the game. The first was a 39-yard bomb to Javonti Greene, followed by a one-yard touchdown to Hoskins.
Army scored the next 10 points on a Daniel Grochowski field goal and Malcolm Brown 55-yard touchdown run before Benz struck again. This time the EMU quarterback found Hill on third and 14 for a 41-yard score.
Steelman cut into the Eagles' lead early in the second quarter, scrambling for a 74-yard touchdown run. Eastern Michigan marched back down the field hoping to add to their lead, but Benz made his only mistake of the afternoon, throwing an interception to Alex Meier, who returned it 66 yards.
Army was unable to take advantage of the turnover, and the ball went back to the Eagles with four minutes left in the half. Despite starting inside their own 10-yard line, Benz marched his offense down the field in 11 plays, scoring a touchdown with 13 seconds left. Christian Menet was on the receiving end of Benz' fourth touchdown pass of the half, and EMU led 28-17 at the break.
Dylan Mulder kicked a 34-yard field goal to give Eastern Michigan a 14-point advantage midway through the third quarter, but Army responded. On the Black Knights' first play of their next possession, Steelman evaded tacklers and took it 75 yards to the end zone to cut the deficit in half.
Benz provided EMU some insurance points early in the fourth quarter with his fifth and final touchdown pass of the game, which was reeled in by Ryan Brumfield for his first career touchdown. Hill's only touchdown run of the day on the following drive put the game away.
After dropping their first four meetings, EMU improves to 1-4 all-time against Army.

Fr. Tom Hopko speaks at the first main session of the 2009 OCF College Conference held in December.
"It is such a blessing to be able to listen to chant anytime, as it is not easy to find online. I am a convert who came to Orthodoxy ten years ago. As a working musician, I was drawn immediately to the beauty of chant. I listen to AFR music very often and wanted to thank you for offering that resource. Hope others have commented on the music as well. It is the reason I first listened. I will continue to support and listen to your wonderful station."

As you explore whether seminary is right for you, we've provided these resources to help provide answers
Why Seminary?
The decision to pursue seminary studies is not to be taken lightly. You may ask yourself if seminary is a necessity, if it is worth the significant time and expense, or if it is truly essential for pursuing pastoral ministry. Though seminary might not be for everyone, we firmly believe that it is essential for those who wish to be ministers of the gospel or leaders within our churches. Our faculty and students have provided the following resources to help answer this particular question:

Pau is looking good...if he was a volume shooting SG...he's shooting like 40% from the field. Metta is back to chucking it and making it 1/4 of the time , and I am going to say right now that Jamison looks like a bust as a free agent pick up.
3.5 Pre-Season games left, and I am really starting to worry BIG TIME. Our offense has no flow, and Nash looks to be a poor fit for it. We can't get ANY transition game going, we can't hit any perimeter shots, we can't get ANY shots in the paint against a set defense...I am seriously concerned...

Softball Splits Two Games at Catawba Invitational
February 22, 2014
Game 1 Box Score Game 2 Box Score
SALISBURY, N.C. - Following day one of the Catawba Invitational, the Pfeiffer University softball team is looking at a 1-1 record for the weekend. In the first matchup, the Falcons held off a late surge by Brevard to pick up the victory, 5-4. Pfeiffer took on Augusta State in their second contest of the afternoon and narrowly surrendered to the Jaguars, 1-0. With the results of today's games, the Falcons are now 4-5 overall.
In game one, Pfeiffer jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the top of the third following back-to-back home runs. Junior Julie Bullington knocked the pitch over the left field fence for the Falcons, picking up two RBIs with the homer. Sophomore Jaclyn Boever stepped to the plate for Pfeiffer's very next at-bat and sent the ball right back over the outfield wall for the Falcons' second home run of the game. Brevard followed Pfeiffer's surge with a few runs of their own, picking up a single tally in the bottom of the third and three runs in the bottom of the fifth to take the lead 4-3 going into the sixth inning.
The Falcons entered the sixth frame un-phased by Brevard's offensive flare-up and following a two RBI double from senior Hannah Jackson, Pfeiffer took the lead for good, 5-4. Jackson finished the game with three hits, leading all players. The Falcons also had solid offensive performances from Boever who had two runs and two hits, and junior Lindsey Russell who had two hits of her own.
The game one win goes to sophomore Jessica Griffin (1-1) with freshman Sydney Poole picking up the first save of her collegiate softball career. Brevard's Jamie Hrobak (2-2) had six strikeouts, but couldn't contain the Falcon bats and picked up the loss.
Pfeiffer's second game of the day was a solid defensive battle, with both pitchers seeing the matchup all the way to the end. Redshirt-sophomore Sam Jarmusch (1-3) picked up her third loss of the young season, and Augusta State's Haley Birkle (3-3) was credited with the win.
Relying on her defense, Jarmusch and the Falcons held Augusta State hitless through the first two innings and scoreless through the first four. Augusta State picked up the only run of the game for either squad in the bottom of the fifth when Erin Rozier singled to center field sending her teammate Hannah Vaughn home.
Pfeiffer finished with four hits on 21 at-bats and left five players on base. Augusta State was almost identical with four hits on 20 at-bats and left six players on base.
The Falcons return to action tomorrow for a doubleheader when they take on Lenoir-Rhyne at 11:00 a.m. and tournament host Catawba at 1:00 p.m.

He's the same long before his match begins.
"The person that wants it the most I feel like (usually wins), and I always want it the most," Schoonover said. "I go to bed wanting it. I can't sleep before every tournament. Every Friday night I get like two hours sleep … because I just want it so bad."
There's no denying Schoonover's energetic want-to, coach Dal Tomlinson said.
"He is a ball of energy. He is by far the most energetic wrestler we have on the mat, at least for the first five minutes anyway," Tomlinson said. "Now I will say this about Seth. From the beginning of the season to now he has become a multifaceted wrestler as opposed to a one- or two-move wrestler. He's really actually worked really hard the past month and a half on expanding his repertoire of moves.
"But he's also a bundle of energy. He comes out there almost ready to explode every match. And he's emerged as a team leader. Part of that is because he's got the winningest record on the team. So he automatically defaults to be a leader by the rest of the guys. They don't have a lot to say to him because he's winning a lot, and they're not."
Schoonover is 28-3 and coming off his second straight Onslow County Cup championship, winning the 172-pound title this past weekend — a victory that the outgoing Schoonover relishes for more than just the added notches he picked up on his win total.
"It's a big deal," he said. "I went in as the first seed, but I didn't think I was actually going to win it. I trained all week just for that. … The Onslow County Cup is the bragging rights of
It is, he added, the "first step" to the state championships, signaling for individual wrestlers and their teams that it's time to "get serious" with only six weeks before regionals, where the top four in each weight division advance to states.
"Last year I didn't do very well (in regionals) and I didn't make it to states," Schoonover said. "This year my goal is place in at least the top five at states."
To do that — or to do even better, which he also feels is possible — Schoonover said he has worked hard since last season on the mats and in the weight room.
"I'm definitely a lot stronger than I was last year. I'm definitely more in shape," he said. "Last year I came in and I wasn't in shape and I made a lot of dumb mistakes. This year I'm not making any mistakes.
"If I make a mistake, I get right out of it. Last year I'd be on my back the whole match, I'd be making mistakes. This year I've been pinned one time; I've lost three times. Last year I lost I think 16 times and (was) pinned eight. This year is a totally different year for me."
Schoonover actually didn't like wrestling the first time he tried it out as a seventh-grader at
"It was just really hard," he recalled. "First day we went out and ran so much I just didn't like it."
A year later, he gave it another try, and this time he stuck around. The reason?
"I started pinning people, and I liked it," he said. "Ever since then I just had a thing for it."
Schoonover is a three-year starter for the Bulldogs, who annually sport one of the strongest wrestling programs in the area. As a freshman he wrestled at 145 and then moved up to 170 as a sophomore after trying (and failing) to cut weight to 160.
This year he's comfortably at 172, but then again Tomlinson said Schoonover is almost always comfortable and is an athlete who "relishes the limelight," which was evident last year when while closing in on a victory he smiled at a photographer as his picture was being taken.
"Seth always looks like he is having a very good time wherever he's at," Tomlinson said. "He always seems to be having fun. His personality is very loud and very energetic, and some coaches might not really appreciate that. I happen to be one that does because I tend to be a little loud as well. But he always seems to be having fun."
Fun for Schoonover can be found in many sports. He tried basketball and baseball as a freshman, and last year was on the track team. This year he plans on giving golf a shot. But make no mistake about it, wrestling is No. 1, although football isn't far behind.
"I love just going out there and hitting people," said Schoonover, who plays linebacker. "But wrestling, you come out here and what you put in it is what you get out. I love the individual (nature) of it.
"It's only you on the mat. … On the football field, you can avoid people. In wrestling, you can't avoid a single person."

- some patterns carry over directly (and can make use of normal Groovy syntax improvements for greater readability)
- some patterns are no longer required because they are built right into the language or because Groovy supports a better way of achieving the intent of the pattern
- some patterns that have to be expressed at the design level in other languages can be implemented directly in Groovy (due to the way Groovy can blur the distinction between design and implementation)

I just encountered "skiddish" for "skittish" for the first time in a post that showed up on a local email bulletin board yesterday:
"She comes from a feral litter and, as such, is a little skiddish, but she is very sweet and affectionate."
It's been mentioned on this site a couple times before, but it's new to me and, I'm sure, to some of you, too.
I'm guessing this is a case of misspelling (or ear spelling based on pronouncing the Ts of skittish as a D sound) more than anything else. I don't see any evidence that the user thinks the animal referred to in the post is "skidding." The misspelled word is used exactly as the correctly spelled one would be used.
Feeling quite combobulated.
The skittish/skiddish mistake is all over the net. I see some eggcorn potential. "Skiddish" conveys images of sliding around. "Skittish" can refer to being undependable, variable, restless. The semantic engine could be at work in this substitution.
Joe Krozel analyzed this substitution as an eggcorn in 2006 (http://eggcorns.lascribe.net/forum/view … hp?id=1180), calling attention to the phrase "put the skids on."

I think this could go either way—simple ear mistake, vs. ear mistake accompanied by meaning shift.
I'd need more evidence, but I think it's got possibilities.
Because, I know what skidding is, and how out-of-control it is, but I don't know what "skit" has to do with being jumpy or unstable.
Here's another example I just encountered:
Several other gentleman and I attempted to catch him but he was extremely skiddish.
