Lessons from private financing of transport infrastructure: Dutch infrastructure in the 19th century and European projects in the 20th century
AbstractIn the past decade serious doubts have been expressed on the efficiency of a strong public financial involvement in infrastructure. This provokes the question whether financing of infrastructure should be a task of the government. For this purpose, the paper first presents a concise theoretical overview under which circumstances there is a case for public intervention. Interestingly, the financing and operation of transport infrastructure has not always been the task of the public sector. In the 19th century, the railway infrastructure in Europe was financed and operated by the private sector. Later, the government took over more and more responsibilities. This paper analyses then for the Netherlands the reasons for the government to take over the financing of infrastructure, in order to draw conclusions for the present and the future. Also in the 20th century many European projects have been privately financed. In the third part of the paper an overview is presented of several projects (e.g., Channel Tunnel, Mont Blanc Tunnel, Dartford Bridge, Dutch tunnels, Storebelt, etc.) as well as an analysis of the circumstances under which these are economically

One man is dead after officials say he fell off of a truck bed.
June 30, 2003
Albany-- An environmental disaster was prevented this weekend when by the quick and skillful actions of Albany's first responders. A tanker truck with nearly 9,000 gallons of gasoline overturned in one of the city's busiest intersections.
Fortunately no one was injured, and the potential hazardous mess was cleaned up. But the Albany Fire Department is using this real life response as a learning tool for future disaster preparedness.
Lt. Tommy Bridges goes over the steps taken Saturday, when a gasoline tanker truck overturned at the intersection of Oakridge and South Slappey. These firemen go over the tactics that were used to avoid a disaster.
Assistant Fire Chief James Carswell said "We are very pleased with the outcome, but there is always something we can go back and refine."
One of the valve covers was damaged, and some of the 8,700 gallons of gas began to leak. Albany Fire Department, Police Department, and Emergency Management were the first responders to the very serious situation.
Carswell said "Most definitely. The worst case scenario is that all 8,700 gallons spills on the ground, ignites, and then we have a fire problem."
Traffic was detoured around the area, and electrical power was turned off to avoid any spark hazards. While fire crews stood by ready, a hole was bored into the tanker's five compartments. The gas was pumped into another tanker.
Meanwhile, firemen kept the 150 gallons of fuel that spilled from going into storm drains. It took seven hours before the mess was cleaned up. Now the fire department uses this real life operation as a training tool in case of future hazmat spills.
Carswell said "Practice, practice, practice. We go out everytime we drill like it's the real thing. We similuate the conditions so that we have to react to things we can actually see smell and feel. So that it's reaction to proper training, and not reaction to something that crops up unexpectedly."
The Albany Fire Department will send details of their clean up to the Georgia Emergency Management Agency, as one of their hazmat practice drills. The driver of the gasoline tanker was charged with driving too fast for conditions.
Fuel South will have to pay the city of Albany for the cost of the emergency response.

Voices Question
Teachers: What changes would you like to see in the new, reauthorized version of ESEA?
Comments: 358
Teachers were not held responsible for Columbine. If that was proper, then why are you holding us accountable for a student's effort and achievement? Introduce a character education curriculum. Character education curricula raise test scores and improve school climate. More importantly, character education curricula have been shown to reduce crime in the neighborhood. Research reports by Children's Hospital of Philadelphia conclude that many children in Philadelphia suffer from post-traumatic stress syndrome. Identify (it's not hard) and treat students for emotional problems.
Keith Newman
All the players are mentioned but one: the students. In every other arena, the customer is the prime consideration but not in education. Marketers on the school boards could motivate the students to want to perform, and that would be all that it takes to improve scores.
John Minion
Get rid of standardized testing, and replace "accountability" with "transparency." Every state creates its own standards, subject to a non-binding review board which will make suggestions on a national level. Get rid of "Balanced Literacy." Either stop social promotion or decide you cannot avoid it. Reinforce collaboration between teachers and principals/assistant principals. Get rid of all the LIS positions. Offer teachers a transfer instead of firing an entire school staff. "Bridge the gap" between state and city methods of evaluation. Refuse to allow major corporations to fund schools. And, by NO means align test scores with tenure!
gary j. moore
School libraries need specific funding for book, materials and personnel. Currently we get funded at the whim of the principal. We have to have book sales, and fund-raisers just to have enough money for books and supplies .A well managed media center works wonders in raising student academic achievement, and yet we seem to be the last on the totem pole for funding. My school is a Title 1 school. We have 99 percent of students with Hispanic roots. Learning to read well is their way out of the drop-out of school cycle. Appropriate up to date books and materials are a must in every school library if our students are to acquire the knowledge they need.
Ana Colon
I would like to see an alternative method of testing for students who don't pass the ACT/MME here in Michigan. Not all students will be attending college. Many students will be attending trade or technical schools. Also, I would like to have all students reading levels checked to see what there reading comprehension level is prior to taking this test. What seems to be happening is that we are teaching students how to take and pass a test and businesses are telling schools that students lack basic skills and cannot show up to work on time and think critically.
Chris Woodard
NCLB needed a complete overhaul from the moment it hit paper. The most glaring feature requiring examination is not the program at all. It is the funding. When the assessments show that aid is needed to attain the goals as outlined by NCLB, funding must be provided as outlined by the original blueprints. Follow through on the governing body's part reinforces the importance of accountability on the most basic level. Further, NCLB should be examined by an outside educational group to determine if its goals are feasible.
Michele Marcus-Krohn
I feel that it is very important for each and every child to have the opportunity for a good education; however, NCLB is forcing educators to focus on assessment rather than teaching. Before NCLB, teaching was an art, and students enjoyed coming to school because teachers could be creative with their lessons. Today, and for some time, educators have had no choice but to teach to the test and assess, assess, assess. Although administrators feel that assessing will produce data that will help teachers in focusing on the students weaknesses, it is turning children off to learning. As educators, we know how to reach our students. Let the teachers teach!
Gilda Dieringer
The change I'd like to see is full repeal of the law.
Jeffrey Eisenberg
Teachers alone cannot be held accountable for the performance of students. In the updated ESEA, there should be ways to evaluate and factor in the effects of administrators, parents, health, housing, employment and community issues such as violence and poverty in addition to evaluating teachers. This would provide a more accurate measure of where the problems lie and insure more meaningful interventions to help students thrive. Then when reforming underperforming schools, the entire community of students, parents, teachers, and administrators should be involved in the process. A grassroots, inhouse approach is democratic and empowering.
Gabriell Debear Paye
Parents need to be evaluated. Period!!!
Ted Meyers
No Child Left Behind is ruining public education. There is so much testing between the federally mandated tests and the other tests the districts and schools are piling on that education is lost. Children are losing recess, arts, science, social studies, etc, teaching is only targeting the students who are near proficiency, and teachers are being turned into data statisticians instead of educators. Reading is only taught as a process. Children are not being inspired to read! And all to try to meet an impossible goal--NOT ALL CHILDREN ARE ALIKE! We must get rid of NCLB to save public education! And Obama needs to stop promoting charters!
Hazel Bellamy
If there are mandates, there should be adequate funding. Members of AFT should be on the commission that develops the mandates.
jacqueline foil
Scrap No Child Left Standing (I mean Behind) or get some realistic goals for AYP. Get realistic goals for educating our population. Realize that not every student is suited for college and start putting some money into vocational tech education. Stop scapegoating teachers for society's ills. Require politicians to actually have to teach before they legislate.
Elaine Summerhill
I think it is necessary to eliminate the ridiculous emphasis on testing, especially for students with disabilities. All children learn differently and standardized tests are not accurate measures of growth and ability. Project based learning and portfolio assessments would provide a more accurate measure of ability. I also would like to see standards adopted that allow more in-depth study of topics.
Pam DeLucia
NCLB is destroying public education, as it seems it was meant to. Obama's policies seem to buy right into it! It must go!! Not reformed, not reauthorized, it must go for the sake of the children. They are being tested, not educated, and teachers are entering and analyzing data instead of teaching. Please help us bring the insanity to an end!!
Janet Bellamy
Special Education classes should not be counted in AYP. Children are in those classes because they were diagnosed with learning disabilities; they are most often functioning at below grade level, and being instructed according to their IEP to meet their needs at their functioning level. Testing them "at grade level" to determine AYP is absurd; no different than giving the Bar Exam to a college student.....they simply are not being taught on that level and, therefore, should not be tested on a level on which they are not yet capable of learning.
Betsy Schwartz
I would like to see students with disabilities have an alternative to grade level testing when it is already apparent that they are not on grade level. I am referring to students who would not qualify for the alternative assessments for students with severe disabilities. They should have a different, more appropriate measure of adequate yearly progress.
Shari Franco
As a teacher of the gifted I have witnessed total disregard for the gifted student in the "no child left behind" bandwagon. I would like to revise that slogan to "no child left behind but the gifted." This is a tragedy. These students absolutely have the brain power and the talent to make differences in our world. I have seen no funds, no support, no understanding of what "gifted" is since the inception of this program. Through ignorance and sheer audacity, administrations, school boards and state boards have forced gifted students into cookie-cutter-imitations of non-gifted students in order to exploit them for test scores.
Lynda Boren
Textbooks are state adopted after going through rigorous adoption criteria. To eliminate the expense of state tests, such as FCAT, the book companies need to send out yearly tests that correlate with their textbook. Students will be tested on material covered, in a familar format. The yearly tests will be provided as part of the purchase price of the texts. The tests would be available for all subject areas - an improvement of current testing. Tests would be secure and proper testing protocal would be followed. Textbook companies would need testing departments for the writing, distribution and grading of the tests. A bonus...more jobs!!
Susan Morgan
NCLB missed the mark on helping kids achieve....Too much emphasis on testing and the Special Education is REALLY inadequate.........
Paula Bruno
Nothing mandated in this bill will apply unless the federal government funds it.
frank queen
Get away from teach to test and knock off closing struggling schools.Those schools need our help as do the students.
Charlie Williams
Check in with reality, not a presumption of student ability. Linking teacher effectiveness with test performance using only the supposed, expected entrance level of students does NOT measure realistic growth within an academic term. Nationally normed adaptive performance assessment such as Scantron's Edperformance.com series would need to be administered at the start and end of each course. It may need to be taken several times to eliminate the "bad day" syndrome. Many courses do not have nationally normed tests. So even this improved method can not be used as a salary determining factor.
Paul Wittmer
I would like it to be standardized across the states, finding a way to make the students more responsible for their learning, less punitive, and allow for a measurement of growth.
Robert James
Decisions on changes should be made by people who have had actual lengthy experience working with children IN the classroom. Children who have been identified intellectually disabled should not be made to take mastery tests. ESL children should not be made to take mastery tests until they've attended school in the U.S. for at least 3 years.

Microsoft/Xbox's 2012 entry into the long-running, science fiction video game series Halo finds composer/producer Neil Davidge from Massive Attack taking the reins from Martin O'Donnell, the latter of whom spent the last decade or so tastefully slathering the world of Halo in a rich, monastic, almost ambient patina that became as much of a character in the series as the iconic Master Chief. Davidge's long history with electronic music comes into play on his score for Halo 4 from the very beginning, deftly weaving in the choral elements of its predecessor over a foundation of appropriately chilly electro-pop that feels more in tune with the series' increasingly cinematic tone, incorporating Hanz Zimmer-esque orchestral cues and beat-driven, trance-like atmospherics into an already expansive universe that seems more than able to handle the extra load. [A deluxe edition of the soundtrack features remixes from Skrillex, Sander Van Doorn, Gui Boratto, Caspa, DJ Skee, Matt Lange, and Apocalyptica.] ~ James Christopher Monger

This weekend, our baby girl was baptized.
Our hearts were still heavy from news of the Newtown tragedy - and all of us, I think, were feeling extra thankful, extra prayerful…so having the opportunity to gather with our loved ones to celebrate our daughter as she was welcomed into the catholic church, felt blessed.
Little Felix was an angel.
She looked like one too in the gorgeous velvet christening gown Mom H. made for her. (MOM H. MADE THAT DRESS!)
Hazel was proud of her little sis, you could tell.
We have been practicing the whole pour-water-on-baby's-head thing in the bath all week… so when Father Pat held Felix over the holy water, you could almost see Hazel willing courage to the baby. (You've got this Fee, I imagine her thinking).
This time of year is hectic
And this celebration gave us the chance to put all the Christmas chaos on hold and just enjoy the thing that matters most.
I am thankful for my family
and that this is how we got to spend our Sunday.
Above: Parents & God Parents with our little one.
Below: After the ceremony, Hazel recapped the holy-water excitement with Uncle Henry & Dana
Great Grandma B holding Felix. I think my grandmother is just so beautiful.
When we moved to the city, we had to find a new church - and I like to think God lead us right to Father Pat. Over the past 5 years he married both me and El and has baptized both of my daughters.

I love you baby girl!

The Patriots may have new faces on offense, but Tom Brady is still an elite Fantasy QB. Fantasy Top 5 QB.
Found August 24, 2013 on Football Extra Points:
PLAYERS: Tom Brady
TEAMS: New England Patriots
TEAMS: New England Patriots
The Patriots' troubles this offseason are well documented. They may be breaking in an entirely new set of skill position players, but Tom Brady is still at the helm. His value is down some, but don't count him out completely. Drew Brees - Consistently at the top of the QB rankings. Look for an explosion with the return of Payton calling plays. Aaron Rodgers - Elite QB, but questions on the Oline keep him out of the top spot. Cam Newton - Quietly top 4 in QB points the last two season. Don't sleep on rushing yards and rushing TD out of the QB position. Peyton Manning - He's stronger and more comfortable with his weapons. Oh ya, and Welker is in town. Super Bowl? Tom Brady - He's slipped some, but don't count him out. Keep an eye on Carson Palmer in Arizona. It's a pass friendly offense with a superstar WR and serviceable running game. Good Luck!

Some other info you might not have heard:
With the removal of auras, seals now occupy the stance bar, and last indefinitely. They still consume mana, however.
Templar's Verdict has a new spell effect! It ostensibly uses a single hammer from the Divine Storm spell, but it's seen on the boss instead of you.
In the beta Sacred Shield costs mana instead of holy power as stated on the talent calculator, making it a viable choice in the level 45 tier for ret paladins, Eternal Flame is still not something you'll ever want though.
They've changed Holy Avenger into Zealotry, yep, not kidding, at least you can opt out of it for a passive DPS boost or a more focused gain from Sanc. Wrath if that's not your thing.
Pursuit of Justice has had its tooltip clarified to say it only goes up to 3.
Overall, there isn't a whole lot -new- for paladins this expansion, and that might be underwhelming when you're used to getting and overhaul pretty much every expac; however, it looks like the Holy Power thing stuck and they're now just focused on refining it to operate better. Holy paladins are exceptional already and need no real improvement, but the tweaks to ret are undoubtedly very much appreciated.
Nope, but that doesn't stop me from really digging around for bits of info, youtube is really good for that. You look around hard enough in there you can find some videos of people showing off new abilities and spell effects. A bit of detective work goes a long way.

This dysfunctional Congress has often looked like an unruly schoolyard, with cool kids, nerds, bullies and outcasts all vying for their own piece of turf.
And while we wouldn't want to diminish the massive, consequential issues that Congress is struggling with by comparing the hardworking lawmakers to schoolkids, let's be honest, it often looks like one big popularity contest.
With a slate of 84 House rookies being sworn in Thursday, the freshmen are already angling for their spots in the pecking order. POLITICO has jumped ahead with predictions for freshmen superlatives for the incoming 113th Congress, identifying the people whose names you'll see in the headlines in the coming year.
Most likely to succeed
Tom Cotton (R-Ark.): Thirty-five-year-old political newcomer Tom Cotton is already lauded as one of the GOP's fastest-rising stars. Cotton handily put the Arkansas district of retiring Democrat Rep. Mike Ross into Republican hands, has an impressive resume and a growing list of fans on the Hill. The 6-foot-5 Harvard Law graduate left a law practice in 2004 to enlist in the Army, served in Iraq and Afghanistan and won a Bronze Star. Between tours, he was part of the Old Guard at Arlington National Cemetery. During his campaign, Cotton was cheered by everyone from Sen. John McCain to the fiscally conservative Club for Growth to Mike Huckabee. Cotton's widespread appeal across GOP circles already has many buzzing he'll quickly move up the ranks in the House. Recently, Cotton penned an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal from a "soldier's eye view" slamming the could-be nomination of former Sen. Chuck Hagel for secretary of defense, and he's been one of the loudest voices against the sequester -- a signal he's more than ready to be his party's voice on the Pentagon and defense spending.
Raul Ruiz (D-Calif.): Getting three degrees from Harvard and becoming a successful emergency room doctor just wasn't enough for Raul Ruiz. In fact, the average three-day workweek of the Hill will probably seem like a vacation for Ruiz. Before he ran for Congress, the doctor was running a mentorship program, working in an ER, opening health clinics and running health education seminars for poorer communities. Ruiz, who unseated longtime Rep. Mary Bono Mack, figures to bring the same nonstop work ethic to Capitol Hill. Ruiz told POLITICO in November he has plans to work with everyone to get things done. "I'm a doctor, we work in teams," he said. "I'm very committed to problem solving." Expect him to be an outspoken and important voice for the party on immigration issues.
Most likely to be a leadership favorite (teacher's pet)
Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.): Iraq War vet and double amputee Tammy Duckworth has been a favorite among National Democrats since an unsuccessful House bid in 2006. Back then she was supported by then-Sen. Barack Obama, Sen. Dick Durbin (who has called Duckworth his "she-ro") and then-Rep. Rahm Emanuel, who was running the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee at the time. This time around she beat out tea party star Joe Walsh, securing her a spot as one of Democratic leadership's favorite new members. She proved herself to be a prolific fundraiser and a speech at the Democratic National Convention catapulted her star on the national stage. She's one of the first two female veterans elected to Congress and previously served as an assistant secretary at the Department of Veterans Affairs. An outspoken advocate for veterans, Duckworth will serve on the House Armed Services Committee.
Ann Wagner (R-Mo.): Wagner may be a first-time congresswoman, but she's no stranger to GOP politics. Wagner served as the chairwoman of Missouri's Republican Party, co-chair of the Republican National Committee during George W. Bush's first term and as chairwoman of Sen. Roy Blunt's 2010 Senate campaign. As her party has struggled to make gains with women voters, Wagner is in a prime position to help her leadership: She worked extensively at the RNC on initiatives to reach out to women voters. She comes into the House to take the seat vacated by former Rep. Todd Akin, who became infamous for his remarks on "legitimate rape." In October, before she was elected, she was tapped by Speaker John Boehner to give the weekly Republican address, and she started a PAC to contribute to her fellow Republican candidates. The Weekly Standard reported that Wagner was selected to be a key liaison between House freshmen and Republican leadership.
Most likely to be a cable favorite
Alan Grayson (D-Fla.): After losing in 2010, Florida's boisterous liberal firebrand will be back on the Hill and in front of the cameras in no time. Cheered on by liberals and reviled by conservatives, Grayson has never been shy to say exactly what's on his mind. He once called Vice President Dick Cheney "a vampire," accused the GOP of wanting sick people to "die quickly," called then vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin a "wild Alaska dingbat" and referred to his 2010 opponent Daniel Webster as "Taliban Dan." Now that he's back, Grayson is fired up. He has already railed against his own party and President Barack Obama for even suggesting changes to Social Security and Medicare, and called the fiscal cliff an "artificial crisis that's being instituted to steal from us, steal from the middle class and steal from people in need," he said recently on Current TV.
Ted Yoho (R-Fla.): Ted Yoho, the large-animal veterinarian who upset longtime Rep. Cliff Stearns in a GOP primary, is coming to Washington ready to fight. He won his primary, in part, thanks to an ad featuring politicians mud-wrestling with pigs. Though a generally affable guy, his ire on the campaign trail was directed at members of both parties, more specifically "career politicians." "We don't care who broke this, we just want it fixed," he told POLITICO back in August. He's highly quotable, has become a cable-TV regular and has been profiled by multiple national news outlets (including this one). He says he's ready to stand up to anyone who gets in his way, although so far he seems to get along pretty well with Republican leadership. Even Majority Leader Eric Cantor did a fundraiser in Yoho's district during the campaign. He has rejected the Americans for Tax Reform pledge, telling NPR "if you sign a pledge like (Norquist's), you've got handcuffs on."
Just happy to be here
Patrick Murphy (D-Fla.): Murphy won a stunning upset against tea party hero Allen West by fewer than 2,000 votes and has been beaming ever since. His win, which West contested for several weeks after the election, was a morale boost to Democrats and he won despite the fact that West had spent a whopping $18 million on the campaign. After the election, the 29-year-old Murphy appeared with Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. "[I'm] the youngest new member of Congress. I just defeated somebody you all may know, a guy named Allen West, you guys might have heard of him," Murphy boasted to reporters. A political neophyte, Murphy will now have to prove he's more than just "the guy who beat Allen West" and that he has the goods to get things done in Washington. He ran on a promise to end the gridlock in Washington and work with members across the aisle.
Kerry Bentivolio (R-Mich.): When Rep. Thaddeus McCotter failed to get enough valid signatures to stay on the primary ballot, reindeer farmer Kerry Bentivolio's name remained. When it became clear Bentivolio would be the Republican candidate, he was stunned when reporters showed up on his doorstep to interview him. He promptly directed them off his property, refusing to give interviews for the majority of his campaign. Still a little shocked that anyone would want to write about him (or his business impersonating Santa Claus), he's ready to set the record straight now that he's coming to Washington. "If somebody calls you crazy, you're on to something," he told National Review. "It's not a bad thing. Consider it a compliment. So I guess that's why it didn't really bother me when people were saying, 'That guy's kooky because he has reindeer.' No, they're kooky because they don't have 'em."
Most experienced
Rick Nolan (D-Minn.): It's been a little while since Rick Nolan has been a congressman, but he's one of the most experienced returning members in the freshman class of the 113th. Nolan represented his Minnesota district from 1975 to '81. Nolan says he's not some Washington insider. His bio states that he "hunts and harvests wild rice in the fall, boils maple syrup in spring and never misses a fishing opener." Even though he's been gone for 30 years, the 68-year-old Nolan defeated freshman Rep. Chip Cravaack to take back for Democrats the seat that once belonged to House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Jim Oberstar. Don't let his age fool you; Nolan says he's reinvigorated by politics, telling the Minneapolis Star Tribune he's ready to serve five more terms.
Matt Salmon (R-Ariz.): Matt Salmon left Congress in 2001, honoring a campaign pledge that he would serve only four terms. When Rep. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) decided to run for Senate, Salmon made his move to come back to Washington. Swept into office in 1994 as part of Newt Gingrich's Contract With America," Salmon now says his perspective on how to govern has changed. "When I went to Washington in my 30s it was political ambition, at least part of it," he told the Arizona Republic. "But now I don't have some grand game plan. I'd just like to go back and do some good. That's it. We're going to have to find commonality on things." Salmon also knows a thing or two about how rough things can get: He was one of the Republicans who helped oust Gingrich as speaker after the 1998 midterm elections.

How would Jesus rate GCB?April 05th, 201205:46 PM ETBy Sue EdwardsWatching a whole episode of ABC's GCB, based on the book Good Christian B*tches, is like sitting through an hour of offensive blond jokes--only GCB is not funny.

Where Have the Women Gone?March 14th, 201211:46 PM ETBy Sue EdwardsTwelve years ago, George Barna described women as the backbone of the Church, but his recent research reveals that the backbone shows signs of decay and collapse.

Simone Byrd, 22, Astoria, New York
"My hair is superthin, and I have trouble finding styles, cuts, and treatments that make it look thicker," says Simone, a marketing student, who loves running and lifting weights. "I want to give my flat strands more volume."
"So long, flatness! I love my full, swingy new style."
Fast Fixes
Start fresh. Snipping hair into soft layers, like Schlenger did with Simone's, always adds lift. "Hair that's all one length goes flat quickly," she says. "Shorter strands on top are easier to elevate for longer-lasting height."
Bounce back. To quickly plump your roots, blow-dry them in sections, pulling hair up and away from your head. "Stretching these pieces adds body," Schlenger says.
Bulk up. Schlenger sprayed hair powder on Simone's roots to "instantly thicken her style." We like Bumble and Bumble Hair Powder in Brown ($35, bumbleandbumble.com for salons).

So, you've decided which BJD mold you want. A 'mold' is the model of the doll. When you order your doll, you'll probably get the option to choose the resin color, and whether you want the doll with face-up or not. Some dolls come in only one resin color, but often companies give you different options. The most common colors are white, natural and tan. That being said, not all white, natural or tan resins have the exact same tone. They vary by company. For example my PlanetDoll Mini Riz is a white resin doll, and she is almost as white as paper. Yet, my eLuts Soony has a yellowish glow, even though she is also a white resin doll. Keep this in mind when you buy your doll. Again, look at pictures taken by owners. They usually give a more realistic view of the skin tone of your doll.
As I said earlier, you can purchase your doll with or without face-up. A face-up is the 'make-up' a doll has on his/her face. When you order your doll with face-up, the doll company will do the face-up. This is often referred to as a standard face-up. Sometimes, the company will give you some say in what you want for a face-up, but you can't get very specific. If you really want a specific face-up for your BJD, you can commission an artist. There are many face-up artists in the BJD world. Take a look at the interview with Sweetly Twisted or Viridian House. Of course you can also try to do it yourself.
The basic things you will need for a face-up are a sealer like Mr. Super Clear, paints, chalk pastels and paint brushes. There are many tutorials and do's and don'ts available. Do a lot of research before doing anything on your doll. Not all types of paint can be applied on a doll and not all paint removers are good for your doll! If you have a tanned doll you should be extra careful. Take a look at Den of Angels' Painting, Customizing and Esthetics forum. Their Customizing Thread Index is a wonderful resource. Doing face-ups yourself is an amazing talent and if you get good at it you can even sell your services!
Unless you ordered a limited edition doll, your doll will probably come nude. Some companies include eyes or a wig, but if they didn't, you need to order them with your doll. Also, with wigs and eyes… you have unlimited choices! There are synthetic wigs, and natural fibers wigs, short and long haired wigs. Eyes range from nice, affordable acrylic eyes to glass eyes, to gorgeous urethane eyes. When there are hundreds companies that sell BJDs, there are even more companies that sell eyes and/or wigs. So look around, browse, explore. Maybe you have a certain look in mind for your doll? Search online shops, and if the shops don't have that perfect wig you are looking for, you can also commission a wig from a wig artist like MyukiDollfie! I know… too many choices! Wigs and eyes come in different sizes. Each doll requires the correct size. The size information for your doll can be found on the company website and once again on Den of Angels.

FERGUS FALLS, Minn. (AP) - The federal government partial shutdown may mean some changes for the Minnesota Governor's Deer Opener in November. The opener will be held in Fergus Falls this year and some of the activities were planned for the Prairie Wetlands Learning Center. With the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service affected by the shutdown, it's not known if agency employees will be back to work by November 8. Jean Bowman with the Fergus Falls Convention and Visitors Bureau is helping plan the event. Bowman says organizers will wait until next Monday to see if the shutdown is resolved. But if the shutdown continues, she says they'll work on "Plan B." That may involve moving some of the Prairie Wetlands activities over to the adjacent fairgrounds. More volunteers also would be needed.

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries are NOT on the verge of a split ... not even close ... despite several screaming magazine covers and websites SWEARING they're headed for divorce.
In fact, TMZ has learned the newest story making the rounds -- about Kris supposedly getting booted out of their NYC pad -- is just another steaming pile of BS.
Multiple sources who are extremely close to the couple tell us they were simply getting some boxes together for the newlyweds' big move back to L.A. ... together.
The couple had been living out of NYC's swagtastic Gansevoort Hotel for a couple months while Kim shot her new reality show "Kim and Kourtney Take New York" -- and yesterday, it was finally time to move out.
As for Kris' lack of wedding ring -- we're told the guy just isn't a fan of jewelry.
Who gives a ratase what kim and kris does?
This fascination with celebrity and addiction to consumerism and materialism that is so prevalent in the (mostly western) world is an embarassment. Please slow this roll. Thanks.
Seriously Kim just get out, this guy is going to be a miserable child to raise. Kim you definitely have what it takes to snag an international billionaire and have a man who can actually show you the world, not some over grown wanna be big **** basketball player who complains about living a life of luxury. Seriously, this guy really has to go. Good luck. DON'T HAVE HIS BABY IT WIL RUIN YOUR LIFE!!! he doenst even respect your opinion enough to make his dogs sleep on the floor not your silk bed covers, really do you want to parent with him????? RUN!
Dear Kim and Kris,
First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your marriage. It was absolutely beautiful and I watch it several times weekly. You are an adorable couple.
Kim, you must cut back on your engagements as it is taking away bonding time with Kris...you are a beautiful couple and I feel very bad that the news people are hounding you. It is imperative that you tell your Mom to stop all of the constant engagements and spend quality time with each other. Kris, you took a lot from the Kardashians prior to the wedding...even Mom Kris being insensitive to you and your family...did she really not order a car for your family? Khloe's mouth did not help, she will never change.
It is important that you focus on each other, building a close bond and living each day to its fullest. Kim, work will always be there for you, now is the time to cut back your hours and focus on your marriage with Kris. Do not allow anything or anyone to destroy your marriage. Your Mom needs to let go of her leash on you. Speak to Bruce for advice and counseling for the two of you. He is very special and gives great advice.
Plant your feet on the ground, marriage, family life, loving one another is a priority over material things. Kris is very sensitive and has great qualities. You will have a very strong bond when you make a few minor changes. Kim, you are a beautiful Armenian have a great gift in the business world...turn to Kris to share your dreams and you will be on top of the world together.
I love both of you, wish I could have joined you at the Cosmo in Vegas last weekend, i was not feeling well. Yes, Vegas is a great town, we have been here for 12 years after living in Northridge for many years.
Please respond to my e-mail, I want to know you have read this message to the two of you.
Take care,
Linda Harikian
Did you not notice that his wedding ring is missing as he holds the box containing only his own belongings from their hotel room? We did, and we heard otherwise from a fellow ball bouncing pal of Humphries....
You mean they haven't divorced yet? They lasted longer than I expceted!
I'm not surprised it's already over.First of all Kim Kardashian's significant other will have to work harder than Scott and Lamar combined to have a successful relationship.Second when you marry Kim Kardashian you are marrying Kris Jenner.Third Kim should stop looking for guys with money(even though Khloe got lucky enough to find one) and start looking for guys that care about her happiness.The only guy who's going to last with Kim is a prince or a male version of Kris Jenner.
Well, it looks like they're divorcing after all. Kim thought she could could just continue along her merry way with her career, squeezing in time for a husband in between business appts. Kris was a smart mouthed immature guy who acted like he was doing Kim a favor by letting her marry him. He was never especially nice nice to her...constantly ridiculed her and her family. And just who is he?...nothing more than a bench warming NBA player who has bounced around from team to team. And with the lockout he doesn't even have a job right now! He better hope he gets a cut of the multi millions Kim and her mother negotiated for the airing of their nuptials...which was obscenely expensive. Kim was in love with love; Kris was simply a jerk!
Wow- this article looks like such a plant when she filed for divorce just 10 days later. She is talentless and ugly and just doesn't go away!
Hahaha this is funny. Considering she announced that she was filing for divorce a mere 10 days later... yeah so much for that one.. How much can change in ten days? She is a pathetic person...
OUCH this has got to HURT! What a lie..

The final moments before being kidnapped1 Reviews
After loosing everything he loved the most, Pierre had been forced to play the very last show with Simple Plan just because they had no other option of lead singer in that moment, but what could ha...
Well, anyway, even though I'm already fired I still have to play in tonight's show like nothing happened. Adam already scheduled an interview for me in the next week and I'll tell the press that I'm leaving Simple Plan for personal reasons. After that, the guys will start looking for a new lead singer. The voice on Simple Plan's second album won't be mine.
You know, it hurts to leave Simple Plan now. I love this band and I spent 5 years of my life working to get this band somewhere. All by sudden, I just give my place to some other guy that wasn't there when everything began, that didn't work as hard as I did and that doesn't love this band as much as I do. I didn't want to loose Simple Plan but, thanks to me, I did.
In one day only I had lost everything I loved the most and the desperation I was feeling was worse than anything I've ever felt before. I had spent the whole day long crying and didn't get to sleep at all so, in that night, I had 5 of those pills. What damage could it cause? It's the one last time so I'll probably be okay. I'll be okay, right? Well, probably.
It was 8:40 p.m., 20 minutes before the show and I was alone in the dressing room. The guys were testing their instruments, something that normally takes around 15 minutes. The same 15 minutes I take to have the pills. It's funny they never realized I've been having those pills as long as I change from a completely tired and beat up guy to the same full of energy guy that I used to be a few months from now in a matter of seconds, but I'm glad they didn't. I can tell they know there's something wrong, but they have no idea how wrong.
Well, in that same meanwhile, I realized there was a knife over the table of the dressing room. At first, I didn't give it too much of attention but, as time went by, what that knife was offering me seemed to be exactly what I needed. It was going to be the solution of all of my problems. I would meet Jessie, I wouldn't have to deal with loosing Simple Plan and I wouldn't have to hurt my mom by telling her about everything I did to myself and to the people around me. That was it, I was going to do this. I stood up from the couch and slowly approached that knife, like appreciating the very last moments of my life. In a matter of seconds, I had that knife over my wrist and was about to finish what I started when I felt a strong hand grabbing mine.
"Don't you dare!" Yelled Seb taking that knife away from me with much more strength I always credited him for having "Are you completely out of your mind? What's wrong with you, man? Can't we leave you alone for one second only?"
"Seb, I..."
"That's the most stupid shit you ever tried to do, you know?" Shouted David interrupting me "Have you ever considered what we were going to feel? Or how we were supposed to tell your family about that? What's the problem with you?"
"You know what it is." I replied
"Jessica?" asked Chuck
"And Simple Plan." I replied
"Pierre, we can understand that what happened with Jessica is being hard on you, still, you know you can count on us for everything and that we'll help you out to get through this. But, Simple Plan..." started Chuck "You just don't have to worry about it. Adam can't just think he owns us. Just calm down and wait. In one week you'll be our lead singer again."
"The way you say it makes it looks so easy." I replied
"But it is easy." He said "To get the lead singer of the band to quit when the band just reached the top won't do good to Adam's career and he knows that, this is why I think he's just trying to scare you. Asides, even if he's not, you have fans, Pierre. They won't be like `Hey, Pierre quitted on Simple Plan! Well, whatever, too bad for him. What's for dinner?' and you can be sure about that. They won't accept another lead singer `cause they like you and to go against the fans is waste of time and money."
"Hope you're right, Chuck"
"You'll see I am."
It was in that exactly same moment that I felt the consequences of having those whole bunch of pills. My stomach started burning like hell and I started feeling so dizzy that I had to sit down and hold my head in between my hands while my breathing started getting heavier and heavier.
"Pierre, are you okay?" asked Jeff concerned
"Yeah. I'll be better in a few."
"Okay, think I'll get you some water." He replied
"No, please, don't give that to me or I think I'll throw up what I have left in my stomach."
"What did you say?" shouted Chuck
"Oh, Gosh, nothing. I said nothing." I replied wanting to escape from what I almost ended up telling them
"Yes, you did." Said David "Why do you think you're gonna throw up if you have some water? Have you been doing this frequently?"
"Uh, no, I...I haven't. I'm just not feeling that good today but I'll be better by the morning."
"I don't know, Pierre. You have been strange recently." Said Seb "Is there something you're not telling us?"
"No, nothing."
"Are you sure about this, Pierre?" asked Jeff "We can't remember last time we saw you eating."
"Well, it was 15 minutes ago when you went to test your instruments. I ate an apple."
"Oh, really? This is funny `cause when we left here there were 5 apples over the table and now there are still 5 apples over the table." Stated David
I didn't know what answer to give after that. David really caught me, but I couldn't tell them what was happening to me. They would be just too worried and I didn't want that. They didn't deserve it, it was my problem. I created it so I should deal with it all by myself. Still, I didn't know what excuse to make up, but I've been saved by a lady opening the door.
"Simple Plan, 40 seconds for you to take the stage."
"Let's go, guys!" I shouted having a pretty descent excuse not to answer the question and rushing to the stage as they just followed
Well, I guess I hadn't been able to tell yet the coolest part of that very last show I was going to play with them: Adam decided the order of the songs. Everything would start with "I'd do anything"; then "Meet you there"; then, we would show them a little bit of the second album playing "Everytime". If I don't start crying in the first 3 songs and runaway from the stage, I guess the rest of the show won't suck too much.
But, thankfully, the songs went by, the show was over and I had been able to handle it pretty fine, even though I knew Adam wanted it to be a complete disaster. It was 10 p.m., we were returning to the dressing room to take our baths and to change our clothes. We were ready to leave, but...
"Pierre, what's the matter now?" asked Jeff
"I just can't find my wallet anywhere." I replied
"Well, there are 5 bodyguards at the door, so no one stole it. It has to be somewhere in this room." Stated Seb what I already knew
"Yeah, I know. I just have to find it."
"Well, we're tired. May we get going to the tour bus and wait for you?" asked Chuck
"Sure. I'll be right there."
"Okay, see you later, Pierre." Said David innocently and not even knowing there wouldn't be later
"See you." I said as they closed the door and left
And that was the very last time I saw them. If I only knew that I would be missing them so much today or what was going to happen to me in a few, I wouldn't let them go. I spent 30 minutes alone in that room looking for my wallet, until I heard someone coming in. I didn't mind to turn around and check that out as long as I though it was one of my friends, but it wasn't. Soon, something really painful and hard hit my head and two days after that I woke up here and started remembering about this whole story.
This is pretty much of what happened to me in the past 5 years. Will I be able to find out now why I'm alone here and why someone had done that? Well, and, if I do, will it be enough to set myself free from here?
Well, whatever, I just have to believe that's the solution `cause if it isn't, I just don't know what else to do.

The impact of crime on the enterprise sector: Transition versus non-transition countries
AbstractThe need to protect property rights and fight against crime and corruption continues to be an urgent task for authorities in many developing and transition countries. This paper identifies the factors explaining why some enterprises are more likely to be targeted by crime than others, and analyses the impact of crime on enterprise performance and behaviour in a simple modelling framework. The results of enterprise surveys conducted in 34 countries in Europe and Asia during 2002 and 2005 show that higher rates of crime are particularly associated with the weak development of micro enterprises in the services sector, operating in large countries with high unemployment. The paper also highlights the deterrent effect of crime on FDI inflows and job creation, especially in less advanced transition countries, providing empirical evidence to substantiate the importance of the fight against crime for economic development.

Upper West Side
Upper West, from Central Park West to the Hudson River, 57th Street to 110th Street.
Every ten blocks of the Upper West Side seem to have their own character: the 70s and 80s have their share of "Classic Six" prewar apartments (that's three bedrooms, a living room, dining room, and kitchen, as opposed to a "Classic Seven," which has all that plus a room for the maid or domestic staff, sometimes used as a home office.) Along Riverside Drive on the Upper West Side, there are some grand-scale apartment buildings with magnificent river views to match the street's name. Meanwhile, the southern bit of the Upper West Side embraces the Time Warner Center, which has some of the most spectacular luxury condos in the city, along with high-end shops like Coach and Hugo Boss, once-in-a-lifetime eateries like Per Se, and a giant subterranean Whole Foods that seems to hold every resident of the Upper West Side at once.

This cute Japanese girl just got off her break and took full advantage of her ten minutes. This is an excellent Japanese Public Sex episode starring a real amateur Asian slut getting fucked from the back inside the store where she works. Did you ever fantasize about waling into a store and fucking the cute Japanese slut behind the counter? Don't worry, you are not the only one. There are plenty of sexy Asian whores who will fuck you anywhere at any time of the day, and then take your sticky load all over their face.
You will not believe some of the stuff these girls do when they go out a night. Get a few drinks inside these whores and they are soon on their knees eating pussy like it's going out of style. This is intense nightclub pussy eating, of the likes you have never seen before. This is real footage taken from real clubs. If you ever run into these girls, make sure they are drunk before making a pass at them. It's almost a guaranteed blowjob and sex!
Not only does this thick-ass brunette get totally humiliated in public, she also has a big cock shoved down her throat. These guys first get a good look at her big booty, which is a fucking masterpiece! This is authentic public humiliation shot by people who understand the niche. This brunette even gets a shot of sperm on her big ass!
Are you ready to be shocked? Some of the hot public footage captured in this amazing gallery will really surprise you. It is simply amazing what these girls are willing to do in the middle of street while other people are watching. You want public blowjobs? You got it! These amateur girls leave nothing to imagination. Hot amateur videos you can download straight to your computer. Enjoy!
It's crazy what this guy does to these girls on the street. In this public violation footage you will see innocent girls walking down the street and having their tops pulled down by a complete stranger with a creepy-looking jacket and a hood. Their tits are revealed for all creation to see. Public violations do not get any better than this. Enjoy!
This is public violations at it's best. Watch this redhead babe get tied up and abused by a bunch of girls as some by standards stand and watch. Her legs are spread wide open and huge dildos are shoved in the girl's pussy. She screams with both pain and pleasure. I'm guessing that deep inside, she kind of liked it
Public Disgrace definitely knows how to take care of their sluts. Whenever a new chick is brought on board, she is always humiliated in front of everyone as she is forced to suck multiple cocks in the street or inside a kinky bar. There is always plenty of bondage involved, as well as pain and humiliation. It's always interesting to check out a plain, normal shot of the girl before the scene starts, to see just how cute and innocent she is before the Public Disgrace fun begins. You will not believe the stuff she goes through…
Here is an extreme BDSM scene for the true lovers if public violations and bondage porn. Today's model is young, sweet, sexy and looks ever so innocent. That innocence is about to be turned upside down and she is fucked in public by not one but several guys while other men and women watch and even help hold her down, spreading her legs wide with their hands. When she is tied up on the couch, completely helpless, some of them shove a big rubber dildo deep inside her pussy. It's amazing how this girl gets turned from innocent young babe to total BDSM sex slave in just a few minutes.

Genetically Modified Foods
Genetic Modification is a special set of technologies that alter the genetic makeup of organisms such as animals, plants, or bacteria. While some genetic modification has been done in the aquaculture business, the vast majority of fish available to the American public has not been genetically modified. Inherently, wild caught fish are free from genetic modification. Since all of Crown Prince's fish are wild caught, there is no danger that there are any GMOs in our products. We do pack two cultivated shellfish - shrimp and oysters, but these have not been genetically modified. Crown Prince packs our products in simple packing mediums, none of which contain GMOs.
Crown Prince is proud of providing simple, whole foods to our American consumers. Canned fish is not a manufactured product, but is wild harvested from the oceans of our planet. Our customers can be assured that Crown Prince only offers the best that our oceans can provide - unadulterated by genetic modification.

You know auditing every expense report isn't practical or cost-effective, but there's still that nagging feeling that cash is leaking out. Our expense management software includes powerful expense report audit functionality that removes the need for an "all or nothing" approach to expense report verification. Now accounting can be more strategic about cost control because they can see where they should focus their efforts.
Coupa automatically scores every expense report and employee, so it's easy to identify suspicious patterns that warrant further attention.
Expense reports are assigned an intelligent audit score based on details of the current report and the employee's historical patterns. The higher the score, the higher the risk of non-compliance with the company's expense management guidelines. Audit scores are based on things like:
Reports can be sorted by score and those below the threshold can be set to bypass the expense report audit process entirely. High-scoring expense reports are routed for accounting review automatically, and appear as 'To Do' items when managers log into the system. Auditors can easily review each expense line, including supporting documentation, for quick disposition. If fraudulent or non-compliant behavior is suspected, the employee's full history of expense reports is just a click away.
