'My heart cannot believe it': Thaddeus Sran's grief-stricken family speaks out for first time
MADERA, Calif. (KFSN) -- The investigation continues in the murder of 2-year-old Thaddeus Sran.
His parents Sukhjinder and Briseida Sran on Wednesday pleaded not guilty to felony counts for the death of their son.

Just hours after that, the heartbroken family of the little boy spoke out.
In Spanish, the boy's grandmother said she never could have seen this coming.
"He was happy all the time. He was very joyful despite the fact he didn't walk, he crawled. But he was very happy," said Imelda De La O. "My heart cannot believe it. I don't believe it."
She said the alleged involvement of Thaddeus' parents came as a complete shock.
"They both surprised us, the whole family. If you ask the whole family, the family will tell you the same."
The couple first reported their special needs son missing July 15.
On July 23, burned remains believed to be those of Thaddeus were discovered by cadaver dogs in a rural area.
The next day, the Srans were arrested for their little boy's murder.
De La O described her son-in-law as a good person and her daughter Briseida as a loving mother.
"She was a woman who had a lot of fun with her kids. Played with them, dedicated a lot of time to them, worried for them. And I don't know in what moment they lost themselves to do this. I don't know. Honestly don't know in what moment this all happened."
The suspects have three other children, who are currently in Child Protective Services Custody. Authorities say Briseida is also currently eight months pregnant.
They had a baby girl who passed away in 2015. When asked about the circumstances of her death, De La O declined to comment on the matter and said the investigation was closed.

The couple is scheduled to be back in court for a pre-preliminary hearing and bail review next Wednesday.
Their bond remains set at $1 million.

Fiona Bulmer was the Executive Member for Education in the London Borough of Barnet between 2006 and 2009.
The criticism of the Conservatives' free schools policy seems to have coalesced around three issues: the first is funding; the second the claim that only middle class parents will have the capacity to set up schools; and the third that efforts should be focused on improving existing schools. These are wrong on every count.
Of course, there will be practical difficulties in setting up free schools, finding premises, and developing a fair funding formula - but just because some things are difficult does not mean they are not worth doing.
The reality is that we now have a centralised education system that is monstrously bureaucratic and expensive. Local authorities spend huge amounts of time and resources collecting data about schools, very little of it relevant to children's education. They are then required to interfere more and more in the running of schools when they are not equipped to do so. This is costly and ineffective. It is also diverting authorities from the tasks only they can do – admissions and special needs provision.
It is clear that even a small reduction in the endless data collection, form filling, inspection and attendant bureaucracy could free up additional funding. That is not even taking into account the costs of the central bureaucracy in the Department for Children, Schools and Families and the government's regional offices. The resources are there, they just need directing to the right places: schools.


Forecasts indicate that Toronto is getting another 8 cm of snow following the Tuesday storm.
New weather statements are warning Torontonians not to hang up their parkas just yet. Just in case the forecasted winter snowstorm in Southern Ontario this Tuesday isn't enough to add extra anxiety to your workweek, Torontonians now can now officially look forward to another weekend of slippery, snow-covered conditions.
The current forecast indicates we can expect up to another 8 cm of snow throughout the course of the upcoming weekend, with temperatures plummeting to what feels-like -19°C and wind gusts of up to 48 km/hour. The weather is expected to clear up just in time for Monday morning's commute to work – lucky us!
This news follows the Special Weather Statement issued by Environment Canada on Monday that a downfall of snow mixed with ice pellets of 15-20 cm will accumulate on Tuesday, causing reduced visibility.
Weather Network meteorologist Dr. Doug Gillham says, "As the system departs on Saturday, the mixed precipitation will change over to snow and significant accumulations with strong winds are possible during the day on Saturday."
This month's fluctuating temperatures have taken Torontonians on a chilly ride. As for the remainder of February, the city can look forward to consistent, bitterly cold weather patterns. With these messy winter storms on the horizon, make sure you take extra precautions when trekking out of the house over the next week.

Yellowjackets Season 2: Rumours, Cast, Narrative, And The Most Recent News
There are elements of survival narrative, psychological horror story, and coming-of-age serial in the blockbuster thriller. For the second year running, Yellowjackets is back.
On two separate timelines, the film follows a group of high school soccer players who were lost in the woods for over two years following a 1996 aircraft accident, and then 25 years later as they attempt to cover up the terrible things they did in order to live.
The second season of Yellowjackets was announced by Showtime in December 2021, midway through the first season's run.
Shockingly high ratings on Rotten Tomatoes led Showtime's entertainment executive Gary Levine to describe Yellowjackets as a "unadulterated phenomenon" upon its debut.
In December 2021, Levine told Deadline, "It's done tremendously well in terms of streaming subscribers." "It was our second-biggest series launch on streaming ever, and it's risen each week on streaming by double-digit percentages. If you're looking at critical accolades as well as social media chatter, this show is soaring.
As he proceeded, "It's like catching lightning in a bottle—you can never expect it but gosh, it's very lovely when it seldom occurs," he added.
"I believe what it says is, in this time of reboots, comic books and procedurals, there is a tremendous need for creativity," Levine said of Yellowjackets' success.
Aside from the fact that it's all women and shows all the many aspects of women: they are athletes, hunter-gatherers, cheats, murderers, and there is sisterhood and competitiveness," it's a unique concept.
Rumors About The Air Date For The Yellowjackets Season 2
The second season of Yellowjackets was renewed by Showtime in December 2021, but no release date has been announced.
However, according to Levine, the writers will begin working on new episodes in January of 2022, so we may not have to wait that long to get our fix of new episodes.
There has been no proposal for season two, he claimed. "The writing room has not even come together yet," he said. In my opinion, "I'm sure there are ideas that Ashley, Bart and Jonathan are working on, but they haven't communicated these ideas to us."
Yellowjackets Season 2: Will Have A New Cast, So Who Will Play Whom?
All four stars who played Shauna and Natalie and Misty in the first season of Yellowjackets were nominated for an Emmy Award. Both Jackie, the soccer team's captain, and Ella Purnell appear in the film as characters.
Season two will very certainly include the actors representing the major protagonists' teenage selves, including Sophie Nélisse, Sophie Thatcher, Sammi Hanratty, and Jasmin Savoy Brown, if they all make it through season one.
Shaun and Tai's respective partners, Jeff and Simone, are expected to return for a second season as Warren Kole and Rukiya Bernard.
Season 2 cast members have not yet been announced, so fans will have to wait to learn more.
In addition, it's unknown if Shauna and Natalie's love interests Adam and Kevyn, played by Peter Gadiot and Alex Wyndham, will return.
It's All About The Yellowjackets In Season 2-
Even though the first season is still airing – and episode 9 is scheduled to premiere on Sunday (January 9, 2022), no narrative specifics for season two have been released.
However, Levine has given fans a taste of what they may expect in the second season of the thriller.
As for the characters, he promised that "there will be some shocks." Who survived, what occurred out there? There are still a lot of unanswered questions." In terms of that, I think there will be some great shocks and some characters you haven't even met yet." Intriguing.
Season 2 Trailer Gonna Be There Or Not?
The trailer for the second season of Yellowjackets hasn't been released yet.
A trailer for the second season of Yellowjackets is definitely coming.
Season one is still under progress, so viewers will have to rely on their imaginations for the time being.

The longer I worked on that hose the worse I felt. It took forever to do the math required to estimate my arrival time at the next position reporting location. And when I made the position report to Gander ocean control I noticed I was slurring my words. When I'd finally transferred enough fuel to make it to Shannon I was just about done in.
From the beginning of my ordeal I had been praying that the weather in Ireland had improved from when I had taken off. The forecast had called for dense fog until late morning the next day. I could have called Shannon control earlier that night but I'd been afraid that if I heard bad news I might just give up. I just didn't know if I had the stamina to keep up what I was doing all the way to Paris. So it was with great trepidation that I radioed Shannon for a weather update.
The short wait was unbearable.
"Please, please, please be good!" I said, hoping for the best.
My head sank into my chest as I listened to the controller confirm my worst fears. The large area of fog that was forecast was not only still covering the coast of Ireland but was worse than they predicted.
"God," I thought, "I don't know if I can do this for another four hours." But my options were few. I could declare an emergency and ATC would be forced to allow me to attempt a landing at Shannon. My thumb hovered over the push to talk button. It would be so easy, just push down on the button and declare an emergency.
"Do it!" the little devil on my shoulder said, "Just declare an emergency and this will all be over in just a few minutes. You've got enough fuel so you wouldn't even have to blow into the damn hose ever again!" God it was tempting. I was so tired and with the airport and a possible end to my flight only forty five minutes away I was sorely tempted to give it a try. But attempting a landing in zero visibility conditions was something that the big airlines don't even do. For me to try it in my current state would be suicide. Resigned to my fate I thanked Shannon for the update and continued on into the night.
The last three hours to Paris were the worst. With the ferry tanks getting close to empty the transfer rate was down to a point that barely kept up with the demands of the engine and I was forced to blow into the hose almost continuously. I was getting so tired that I knew why they used sleep deprivation as a form of torture. I was also flying through the multiple airspaces that surround London and Paris. It never failed that when I was in the middle of blowing into the hose, ATC (air traffic control) would call and I would have to stop what I was doing, tape up the hose and answer them. At least it was late at night and there wasn't that much traffic in the sky to deal with.
As I crossed the English Channel I encountered intermittent heavy rain showers but my fatigued numbed brain hardly noticed. The end was in sight but I was starting to get concerned about my ability to fly an instrument approach because even simple tasks like reading the map were starting to become difficult.
The trip was almost over but the most challenging part was still ahead of me, a night approach in the rain with low clouds over the airport. I just hoped I would remember to put the landing gear down. When I finally had the wing tanks full enough to make it to Paris with a little reserve I capped the pressure line for what I hoped was the last time and got ready for the approach.
Paris ATC cleared me to descend out of fifteen thousand feet and as I passed ten thousand the thicker air started to clear my head like I was coming out of a dream. I realized that I should have dropped down and started flying at a lower altitude as soon as I didn't need the strong tailwinds to make Paris anymore. The lower altitude would have made pressurizing the tank a lot easier and would've helped me think more clearly.
Starting the approach to Le Bourget I felt better and better as the increased oxygen and adrenalin of the approach cleared my head. The ceilings were reported to be at four hundred feet and the runway lights appeared out of the gloom right on schedule.
Twelve hours fifty minutes and over two thousand five hundred miles after leaving Newfoundland the wheels of the Bonanza thumped down at Le Bourget airport. Following ground control's directions I taxied to the ramp, stopped the plane and pulled the mixture knob to shut the engine down. As the gyros spun down and silence descended on the cockpit I looked out at the deserted rain soaked ramp and realized I was utterly spent. My whole body ached, my chest hurt, my throat was sore and dry and I still had a hell of a headache. The events of the long night seemed like a hazy dream that I was having trouble remembering.
I climbed out of the Bonanza like an old man, swung my backpack over my shoulder, grabbed my flight bag and headed to the only lit doorway in the terminal. As I walked across the deserted ramp I wondered where everybody was. After all I had been through that night I half expected there to be a cheering crowd eager to see the pilot who just pulled off one of the greatest feats in aviation history. Lindberg got a huge crowd when he landed and all he had to do was sit there all night, I had to work. Instead all I found was a sleepy customs agent who stamped my passport and went back to smoking his cigarette and watching his portable TV without saying a word. He didn't seem impressed at all.
Dangerous Flights Good PR for Aviation?
A friend over at BeeachTalk sent me this link to an article about Dangerous Flights he found in AvWeb. It ends up saying what we in the skydiving business have been saying for years. There is no such thing as bad publicity. Whenever there is a skydiving accident the phone rings off the wall with people who want to jump.
Surfing the untracked wilderness of modern cable television, my scroll-around sometimes lands on something interesting. Lately, it's been a show called Dangerous Flights, another of the Discovery Channel's reality series. These sorts of programs are called reality TV and if reality were scripted, they'd be accurately named. Otherwise, like a patient drifting in and out of a coma, the reality appears more often than I'd expect and often sharply focused.
Here's the set-up. The series tells the story…oh, shoot, I'll take this directly from the show's Web site: "Dangerous Flights is the real deal: a high-testosterone action adventure series on the edge of aviation's final frontier, starring the daring mavericks who risk their lives in the high-danger, no-holds-barred, high-stress business of aircraft delivery." I gotta hand it to the copy writer on that one, that's straight from the 1940s radio drama of insurance investigator Johnny Dollar, "the man with the action-packed expense account." And the final frontier is flying a 210 from Maine to France? Funny, I'd of thought those guys in Mojave blasting people into space were a little more final frontiery. But I digress.
The basic narrative involves a start-up organization of ferry pilots delivering GA aircraft around the world for various clients. As is the fashion in TV, each episode—and we're now just starting season two—usually details two deliveries on a parallel plot track. What would otherwise be a dull plot line is sexed up with some lead-in problem—a Cessna 210 with major fuel leaks, a Cirrus SR22 co-crewed by a graybeard pilot who's never seen a G1000, a geriatric Cheyenne with dysfunctional avionics, a jet with avionics problems.
Not really expecting success, but willing to grasp at any straw, I put the end of the black rubber hose in my mouth and tried a few experimental puffs. A number of deep breaths later the back pressure in the hose began to increase, a positive sign that encouraged me to blow with keep blowing.
I worked as long as I could, then slapped my hand over the end of the hose to seal it and waited to see if my labors would produce any results. Less than a minute later the bubble on the sight gage slowly moved past the mark I had made on the side of the tank.
"YES! It works, All Right!" I yelled, pumping my fist in excitement. My mad scientist experiment was success! I was able to pressurize the sixty gallon steel tank by lung power alone.
I was feeling pretty full of myself for being so damn smart as I watched the fuel level drop. After the fuel level dropped about an inch and a half it stopped going down. A few calculations and some sloppy guess work later I estimated I'd spent ten minutes to move less than five gallons of gas to the wing tanks.
Grabbing the manual for the Bonanza I went to the performance charts and saw that at my current power settings, five gallons would keep me in the air for nineteen minutes.
"Ok, let's see, if I have eight hours and thirty five minutes left to go," I said looking at the GPS and grabbing my calculator, "and moving five gallons gives me nineteen minutes of flight time…." My fingers banged away on the numbers as I tried to figure out how many times I would have to blow into the ferry tank to make it to Paris. "Nineteen times sixty is…no that's not right. Must be nineteen divided by sixty…ok point three one hours. Divided by eight point three five…No, wait." I was confused, "Why was I having such a hard time doing a simple flight time vs. fuel burn calculation? I do these all the time." After a few failed attempts I finally concluded that I would need to pressurize the tank at least twenty seven times to reach Paris. It sounded like a lot but it was doable.
I was also hoping that the weather in Shannon Ireland would be better than forecast. They were calling for dense fog at the airport but if I could somehow land there all my troubles would be over. But even Ireland was still hours away. Resigned to the fact that it was going to be a long night either way, I took my hand off the end of the hose and got to work.
The rest of the night became a marathon session of hyperventilation and 100 octane gasoline fumes. As the fuel level dropped it became harder and harder to pressurize the growing air space in the ferry tanks and the longer I worked the worse I felt. Normally I could fly at fifteen thousand feet for hours without becoming hypoxic due to lack of oxygen. I found that if I sat still and didn't exert myself I could fly as high as eighteen thousand feet with little effect. What I was doing in the cockpit that night was the exact opposite of taking it easy. Forcing my breath into the hose again and again started to make my head swim and I found that I was starting to have trouble focusing on the engine instruments and GPS that I needed to monitor. I sat there holding the hose in my mouth with my eyes closed, breathing in through my nose and exhaling into the hose, over and over. The dry high altitude air started drying out my nostrils and made my throat burn.
After the second hour of exhausting work and I found myself nodding off when I capped the hose with some duct tape, waiting for the fuel to transfer. I was used to fighting sleep on ferry trips, especially the eastbound ones. Leaving the hotel well before sunrise every morning and flying all day was bad enough, but flying east you always lost a few hours due to the time change. No matter how early you started each morning you always ended up getting to the hotel late each night. This combination of factors led you to become sleep deprived on long trips and made staying awake a daily battle but that night in the Bonanza was the worst.
As the hours wore on staying awake became like a form of torture. I tried all my old tricks; shadow boxing, drumming on the dash and singing along to the music I was listening to, pinching my inner thigh, anything I could think of to get me a few minutes and a few miles further along. But it was a losing battle and despite the blinding headache I'd developed the seductive call of sleep led me to close my eyes for what I told myself would only be a minute.
"Just a quick cat nap to recharge the batteries." I promised myself.
Five minutes later I jerked awake, alarmed that I had allowed myself to sleep for so long. If I'd slept long enough to run the wing tanks dry I doubted I could transfer enough fuel in time to start the engine again before I ran out of altitude and crashed into the ocean.
After another grueling session on the black rubber hose I decided to try eating something to hopefully keep my energy up. I broke into my goody bag and ate some Cheese Wiz on Ritz crackers, my standard snack while ferry flying, and downed a can of soda. The food and caffeine picked me up a little but I wasn't optimistic about it helping for long. The fuel gauges on the wing tanks were bouncing on empty as I picked up the rubber hose again and got back to work.
OK, just to keep everyone confused I've decided to post the entire chapter of my book entitled Pressure. What I posted yesterday was a, hopefully, exciting teaser/prolog to get the reader interested enough to keep reading. Chapter one covers how I got into ferry flying in the first place and Pressure takes place somewhere in the middle of the book. Everybody sufficiently confused now? Good.
Millions of stars glittered coldly in the pitch black sky while a solid layer of clouds slid beneath my wings. I was sitting in the cockpit of a brand new Beechcraft Bonanza high above the Atlantic ocean, retracing the same path Charles Lindbergh made from North America to Paris 65 years before.
I glanced at the new handheld GPS duct taped to the glare shield and smiled. It registered that I was racing eastbound above the cold dark waters of the Atlantic at 210 knots and would arrive in Paris ahead of schedule. Having a GPS to navigate with was only one of the advantages I had over "Lucky Lindy" that night but probably the most important one. Without it I would be forced to use dead reckoning, a name that never sits well with me, as I made the trek across the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean.
Sitting in a soft leather seat, another important advantage over the stiff wicker basket of a chair used in the Spirit of St. Louis, I felt a kinship to that pioneer of solo ocean flying. The technology in the 1994 Beechcraft F-33 Bonanza was light years ahead of what the Ryan Aeronautical Company used when it built Lindbergh's plane in 1927. The Bonanza had a more reliable and efficient engine, a more aerodynamic airframe with retractable landing gear, cabin heat, and state of the art avionics. It even had that new plane smell.
The altimeter in the instrument panel read fifteen thousand feet where an unusually strong tail wind was allowing me to skip the normal fuel stop in the Azores and fly straight to Paris. Cutting a full day off my trip to deliver the Bonanza to its new owner put me in a good mood, getting to spend the time I saved enjoying the city of lights before catching my flight back to the States didn't hurt either.
The stress and apprehension of taking off from St. Johns, Newfoundland on another solo trans-Atlantic flight had worn off hours before. Once aloft with the engine running smoothly and no weather demons to contend with, I settled into the pilot's seat like it was a familiar old easy chair, comfortable but alert.
Four hours into the flight the dropping fuel gauges of the wing tanks said it was time to transfer some fuel from the ninety gallon ferry tank that had been installed in the cabin to give the Bonanza the extra range needed to cross the Atlantic. I turned the valve on the bottom of the steel tank mounted behind my seat and waited for an indication on the clear plastic fuel gage that the much needed fuel was indeed flowing.
A few minutes later I was rewarded by seeing the fuel level drop below the full mark. Satisfied that the engine's life blood was indeed moving from the ferry tank out to the wings I went back to the book I was reading. My intention was to shut the valve off after the wing tanks were just over half full to avoid overfilling them.
When I checked the progress ten minutes later I was perplexed to see that the wing tanks had made only a modest gain. This got my attention because although I hadn't really timed the transfer rate when I had tested the fuel system over land, I was sure that it had gone much faster than that. Hoping it was my imagination I took out a pencil, marked the fuel level on the steel ferry tank and sat back to see how fast it went down. It didn't take long for the devastating reality to hit me…..The fuel wasn't moving. The news hit me like a thunderbolt because the fuel remaining in the wing tanks was not nearly enough to complete the trip, or to get me back to Canada. I was screwed.
Denial was the first emotion to poke its head into the cockpit, "I must have not opened the valve all the way"….nope, the valve was as far as it would go and moved back and forth easily. I double checked the aircraft's fuel selector and found that it was indeed where it should be to allow the fuel to transfer.
Amazingly I didn't allow panic to join the party, but the seed had been planted and it took all the self-control I could muster to keep it from growing.
I took a deep breath, sat back and tried to work out what might be wrong with the fuel system. I pictured the fuel system in my mind, trying to think where the problem might lie.
"The fuel level of the ferry tank wasn't going down so it's not a leak." I said to myself. I looked down at the outflow valve located at the bottom of the big metal tank.
I turned back around in my seat, buckled my seatbelt and secured any loose items in the cockpit. I grabbed the yoke, flipped off the auto pilot then proceeded to put Bonanza thru a series of aggressive maneuvers trying to dislodge anything that might be blocking the fuel from flowing out of the ferry tank. Random items I hadn't been able reach and secure floated around the cockpit in zero gravity as I nosed the Bonanza over again and again. When I finished my impromptu aerobatic routine I twisted around in my seat and stared hopefully at the plastic fuel gauge but the fuel level remained stubbornly fixed.
Disappointed that just shaking the plane up and down hadn't fixed the problem it was time to start taking things apart to try and find an answer. I un-screwed the rubber filler cap on top of the ferry tank to make sure there was enough outside air pressure to force the fuel into the wing tanks, and….bingo, I'd found the problem. Or at least, "a" problem. With the cap off I should've been rewarded with a blast of cold Atlantic air and gasoline fumes. Instead I was greeted by the merest ghost of a breeze, not even enough to blow out a candle, if I had been foolish enough to have an open flame in a cockpit now filled with one high octane fumes.
The ferry tank was designed to be pressurized by ram air routed from a L shaped fitting mounted on the belly of the aircraft through a half inch rubber hose into the top of the metal tank. Normally the L tube is mounted to the aircraft by drilling a hole in the belly, sticking the fitting through it and screwing it in place. After delivering the plane I would just remove the L tube and stick a small metal plug into the hole we'd drilled in the belly, no one ever even noticed it was there. But the L tube wasn't mounted like that on the Bonanza. Before I left on the trip my boss, Pete Demos, had shown me the difference.
I squatted down on my heels, looked under the plane and saw the L tube sticking out of the belly at an angle and what looked a half a roll of silver duct tape holding it in place. "Why in the world did you do it like that?" I asked, not liking what I'd seen at all.
I grabbed the tube and tried to move it back and forth. It seemed ok but not nearly as secure as it normally was. Apparently I was right to be concerned because there I was over the middle of the Atlantic with my ferry tank system not working.
I grabbed a wrench out of the tool kit I always flew with, but never expected to use, and unscrewed a coupling in the ram air supply hose. The high-pressure jet of cold air, essential for the system to work, was AWOL. Nothing, not breath of air was coming out of the hose. The duct tape holding the L tube in place had failed, disabling the ferry system.
I spent a few minutes kicking myself for being such a moron. If I'd checked the ferry tank after the first two hours I would have had enough fuel still in the wing tanks to get me back to St. Johns. But I'd been using the ferry system for two days before reaching the ocean and had gotten complacent.
I sat there holding the silent rubber hose, my eyes glazed over in thought as the challenge glared at me. How to pressurize the ferry tank and force the fuel into the wing tanks where it could be used. Then from the dark recesses of my mind I remembered a conversation with an old ferry pilot I had met in Iceland.
"How much fuel will transfer?" I asked.
The procedure sounded like it would work in theory but I could see a few problems in my situation. Number one; I had flight planned to make the crossing by riding the strong west tailwind that was above twelve thousand feet. By repeatedly descending to sea level and climbing back up again I wouldn't be in the strong tailwinds enough to make it to land, maybe. Number two; Just the act of climbing and descending multiple times was going to eat up a ton of fuel that I would need even if I could get it all moved, which I doubted. And number three; Dropping down through fifteen thousand feet of clouds and darkness, without a current altimeter setting, before hopefully pulling up in time to avoid crashing into the cold black ocean was, in a word, scary. So I needed to think of another way of pressurizing the ferry tank.
So dear reader, you might have been wondering, "Where the heck has Kerry been?" Well the answer is, busy. A few years ago I started writing a memoir about my adventures as an international ferry pilot. I hit it hard, as new authors are want to do, with tons of energy and drive to get my story down on paper. I actually did pretty good at first, cranking out fourteen chapters that covered most of the stories that I thought would make good reading. Then things stalled. The book sat on my laptop untouched for months on end mocking me, "Come on Kerry when are you going to edit me? When are you going to finish me and try to get published?" This winter i couldn't take it any more so I buckled down and got back to work on the book and much to my surprise mostly finished it. I say mostly because even though it's "done" I'm still going over and over it, cutting and polishing it. I'm also trying to decide just how technical to make it. Pilots who read flying books love the details but non-pilots might get bored reading about how every switch in the cockpit is configured so it's a tough balancing act. I'm done enough to start looking for agents to help me get published and have had a few positive replies, so fingers crossed. Anyway I'm going to try and find time to blog again and one of the things I'm going to do is to post short sections of my book for you all to check out and hopefully like and comment on. So without further ado here is the short prologue/teaser I'm thinking of starting the book with.
I never know when a ferry flight might go wrong. With so many things that could possibly go wrong, I knew better than to get too comfortable, too relaxed. But it's hard to not let your guard down after hours and hours of open ocean. But that's what happened on the night of November 12th, 1993 in the cockpit of a brand new Beechcraft Bonanza high over the Atlantic ocean. Over the previous three days the plane and its extra fuel tanks had performed flawlessly and if everything continued that way I'd be in Paris and done with the trip in eight hours.
I was always nervous leaving the safety of land and heading out over the ocean in a single engine plane. But stress and apprehension of taking off from St. Johns, Newfoundland on another solo trans-Atlantic flight had worn off hours before. Once aloft with the engine running smoothly and no weather demons to contend with, I settled into the pilot's seat like it was a familiar old easy chair, comfortable but alert.
Four hours in to the flight the dropping fuel gauges of the wing tanks said it was time to transfer some fuel from the ninety gallon ferry tank that had been installed in the cabin to give the Bonanza the extra range needed to cross the Atlantic. I opened the valve on the bottom of the steel tank mounted behind my seat and went back to the book I was reading. My intentions was to shut the valve off after the wing tanks were just over half full to avoid overfilling them.
When I checked the progress ten minutes later I was perplexed to see that the wing tanks had made only a modest gain. This got my attention because although I hadn't really timed the transfer rate when I had tested the fuel system over land, I was sure that it had gone much faster than that. Hoping it was my imagination I took out a pencil, marked the fuel level on the steel ferry tank and sat back to see how fast it went down. It didn't take long for the devastating reality to hit me…..The fuel wasn't moving. The news hit me like a thunderbolt. There wasn't enough fuel remaining in the wing tanks to make it to Paris or to get me back to Canada. I was screwed.

How to hang curtains getting the right track or pole for all your windows.
How to hang curtains can be a minefield, so it is often best to think about the type of track or pole you may need for your window. Deciding on the type of track you want may also decide the style of curtain you make. The track will also need to be enough for the type of material used. A heavy material would not be suitable for a spring coil rod likewise a thin voile would look out of place on a chunky wooden pole.
The window you are dressing may also dictate the kind of track used, if there is not much space between the top of the window and the start of the ceiling a pole may not fit, even if it is a thin one as the decorative end may not have enough room. This is also the case with the width if it goes near another wall or door. In this case a track would be used and this would be fixed to the wall about 3-5ins (7.5 - 12.5cms) above the window. Again here the choice is a personal one and the track can be fixed higher to allow for a deep pelmet or valance for instance.
The width or length of the track is also fixed beyond the window edge this allows the open curtain space to sit without blocking out the daylight. The overlap is usually between 4-8 inches (10-20cms) this will depend on the width of the curtains and how thick the material is.
How to Hang Curtains using Tracks or Poles.
Tracks - These are made from either metal or plastic and allow a set of runners to run behind in a groove. These have loops at the bottom that the hook fits into or there are ones that has the hooks clip over the top and bottom edge enabling free movement along the track. Pencil pleat curtains can be used with this type hanging rail.
Some are corded and have opening and closing cords at one end, this stops the fabric from getting dirty or being handled too much. These can also have decorative stencilling on the front that give a decorative look when the curtains are open.
There are also specialised ones for use in a bay window and with certain types of designs two tracks are used at the same time. When clipped onto each other both have independent runners one for the curtain and one for the valance or swag.
Poles or Rods - There is a large variety of ranging in different colours, widths and designs in either metal or wood. The thickness of the pole will also give different strengths.
Poles have curtain rings that fit over the pole and these rings have little eyelets at the bottom to put the curtain hooks through. When hanging eyelet curtains or tab top curtains the rings would not be used as the curtain would fit directly onto the pole.
There is also tension wire that is used to hang net curtains, lightweight curtains or sheer voiles.
Outlet such as The Range has a large choice of different tracks and poles to suit your needs.


Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse has been called up into the England Squad for the Euro 2020 Qualifiers against Czech Republic and Montenegro respectively following injuries to three players.
Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek alongwith Manchester City duo John Stones and Fabian Delph have all pulled out after picking up injuries during the weekends games for their club sides.
Ward-Prowse has only featured once for the senior side back in March 2017 when he featured alongside teammate Nathan Redmond during England's 1-0 friendly defeat against Germany when the Saints play maker replaced Jake Livermore in the 82nd minute.
Ward-Prowse wasn't included in Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate's original squad for the qualifiers which left some pundits and journalists wonder how he'd been omitted from the squad after a string of impressive performances for Ralph Hasenhuttl's side in the Premier League this campaign.
It's also good to see Tom Heaton in the squad for the first time since preparations for last summer's FIFA World Cup in what was one of the best England performances out in Russia.
West Ham's Declan Rice gets his first call-up after he recently switched allegiancies from Republic of Ireland to the Three Lions.
England's Euro 2020 Qualifying campaign begins on Friday 22nd March when Czech Republic come to Wembley Stadium before Southgate and the Three Lions travel to Podgorica to face Montenegro just three days later.

Star Trek: The Next Generation – Season 4 — "Family"
By Rob Zacny • May 29th, 2013
You can go home again.
In Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin series, Captain Jack Aubrey often reflects on the solitary lot of the captain aboard a warship. By tradition, propriety and the needs of running an efficient vessel, the Captain is always at a remove from the men under his command. O'Brian describes the quarterdeck as an isolating place, the captain forever trapped inside the vacuum of his authority and the dignity of his role.
We join Picard in his quarters, staring through his reflection with a slack, haunted expression on his face. This man is a stranger to us, and to himself.
Jean-Luc Picard's command style and Patrick Stewart's portrayal of the character both owe a great deal to 18th century navies, with their wooden ships and iron men. Picard's approach seems to make him stronger than a captain like Kirk, in some ways, better adapted to discipline and responsibility. Kirk had Spock to be the distant, conscientious counselor, freeing him to be more accessible, less inhibited than his role might suggest. Picard is alone…and more brittle for it.
It's there when we first see him in "Family," the seminal episode of TNG's fourth season and the capstone of the Borg arc that started with "The Best of Both Worlds." Picard has survived his ordeal as a prisoner and unwilling collaborator of the Borg, having destroyed an entire Federation fleet before being rescued by the Enterprise. We join Picard in his quarters, staring through his reflection with a slack, haunted expression on his face. This man is a stranger to us, and to himself.
Prior to "Family," Picard had seemed somehow untouchable. Now he looks shattered, stripped of his uniform and all his armor. And aboard ship, he has to go on being Captain Picard, which is why he so badly needs to escape his authority and his reputation. It's why he needs to see his family, even if the meeting is bound to be strained.
Yet the episode opens with Worf receiving news that his parents are coming aboard the Enterprise for a visit. He's upset by the news, because family visits to serving officers are inappropriate by Klingon standards and because he's still reeling from being stripped of his honor via a Klingon discommendation. He tells Riker, "I do not believe any human can truly understand my dishonor."
He's not wrong, but as his adoptive human father says, "We didn't have to [understand]. We know what kind of man you are." Worf is bent on bearing his cross alone, but his mother and father will not let him get away with that. It's why he resents them…and why he needs them.
The wonderful and infuriating thing about having a family is that they never really grant us the identities we create for ourselves. Picard will never be The Captain to his brother Robert — just a high-achieving little brother whose self-possession and brilliance will forever be an affected vanity. Worf will always be a sweet, serious little boy to his parents, his persona as a proud Klingon warrior a put-on to be indulged and respected, but not wholly believed.
This point is underlined by Wesley's subplot. Wesley, whose father died on a mission for Starfleet and left him to grow up aboard a starship, meets not his father but the literal projection of Jack Crusher in the form of a hologram recorded shortly after his birth. He sees a young man not so very much older than himself, one who is keenly aware that he's making it up as he goes along and wanting to say something honest and unguarded to his son before he starts wearing the mask of a parent.
As much as we might resent the way our families don't quite give us what we think is our due, the way we always feel a bit like the children we once were when confronted with their knowledge of us, we need that place where we can throw off the costume. Captain Picard cannot weep in front of his crew aboard the Enterprise, but there is no other way he can process the overwhelming grief and blame he feels for what happened to him aboard the Borg cube. Worf needs his mother and father to comfort him, to tell him that they are still proud of him, that he can still be proud of himself, even if he has fallen short of the ideals he set for himself. What makes Wesley's story so sad is that he will never quite have that connection – that at the moment of his greatest vulnerability his father vanishes. Yet Wesley does get the reassurance that his father would have understood, that both of them are making it up as they go along, unprepared for the responsibilities thrust on them.
Picard took those responsibilities willingly, even eagerly. But they have become such a part of who he is that he has no idea how to put them down, how to rest. In "Family," his two pivotal scenes both occur in the vineyards of his youth. The first is when an old friend offers him a job outside of Starfleet and Picard looks stunned to find the automatic refusal doesn't come. He seems surprised he might actually want to stop being Captain Picard and instead be Jean-Luc. His friend is the one who says, "But I know you – you'd never leave Starfleet." Picard can only offer a halfhearted echo.
The second scene is where he finally has a fight with his brother Robert. Robert's resentment of his brilliant younger brother comes to the fore, the anger of the dutiful son who stayed home and took on the family business while his brother was free to carve an identity all his own. Jean-Luc is sick of his brother's sneering condescension and bullying. After an increasingly heated argument, Jean-Luc finally decks the elder Picard and the two continue brawling through a row of vines and into a deep furrow of mud.
The fight carries on with something like hatred for a moment, the two men reduced to grappling and punching in the mud. Then Picard is on his back, trying to get up, and Robert keeps shoving him back down into the mud, and Picard starts to smile. He shoves his brother back and the men fall to pieces laughing.
But while the pair's anger gives way to laughter as they have another sibling donnybrook, Robert observes, "You needed it. You have been terribly hard on yourself."
Picard's smile turns into a grimace and the laughter slowly, almost imperceptibly turns to tears of grief and rage at memories of his assimilation by the Borg. He tells Robert, "They took everything I was…I wasn't strong enough. I wasn't good enough."
This is what Robert was trying to tell Picard. His standards are impossibly high. Robert's resentment of Jean-Luc contained a warning: he had never in his life learned how to deal with his own failures and frailty. Now Picard has gone through his own Kobayashi Maru and learned that sometimes, for all his abilities and strength, he will not, cannot, rise to the occasion. Robert tells him that this is going to be with him for a long time, that he has to live with it. And he can leave Starfleet or stay, but his grief and pain will be there no matter where he goes. But, unspoken, Robert will support Picard no matter what choice he makes.
The overwhelming majority of the time, Star Trek is a show where things work themselves out in "the last five minutes." The characters' virtues win the day, and there is no problem so complicated or threatening that you can't defeat it by standing by your friends and being true to your character.
"Family" is the rare episode that addresses what happens when things don't work out, when you're not as strong as you thought you were, and you don't feel like the person your friends and loved ones think you are. It's a reminder that for those of us lucky enough to have families who love us, even if it sometimes feels cloying or patronizing or just too unconditional or unearned, that it is family that grants us forgiveness when we cannot forgive ourselves.

Q: Sectioning in full smallcaps in titlesec I want to have my chapter and section in full small caps without any fullcaps. Is it possible to do that within titlesec environment?
I tried dabbling a bit and so far I got something like this (but still have full caps in it).
\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{titlesec}
        \titleformat{\chapter}[display]
            {\normalfont\center\scshape}{{\chaptertitlename}\thechapter}{0pt}{}
                \titlespacing*{\chapter} {0pt}{-50pt}{24pt}

\begin{document}
\chapter{Lorem Ipsum}

\section{lOr Em ipSum}

\subsection{Lorem Ipsum}
\end{document}

A: I'd avoid soul for this and prefer microtype:

  \textls{\MakeTextLowercase{#1}}%
}

\begin{document}
\chapter{Lorem Ipsum}

\section{lOr Em ipSum}

\subsection{Lorem Ipsum}
\end{document}

A: Here's a solution that uses the sectsty package rather than the titlesec package.

Made in FLA: In Full Bloom
Through romantic floral designs, a Jacksonville photographer gives new meaning to the phrase "flower power"
Into the Garden (Black) is inspired by Bailey's first floral photograph, Dutch Love. Photography courtesy MET Restaurant, Venice.
It was an inundation of "Get Well Soon" floral arrangements that led Ashley Woodson Bailey to start photographing flowers. She was recovering in 2012 from a horrific car crash—one that not only resulted in a broken back but also forced her to give up her full-service floral and event design company in Austin, Texas. "To entertain my brain, I started photographing the flowers that people would bring me, because I was on a lot of painkillers and couldn't retain anything," she recalls of her seven-month recovery. "I knew if I took a picture, I could always go back to it."
As her health improved, she began playing around with the idea of turning these floral pictures into artwork. Her main hang-up: She wasn't sure people would buy them. Not to mention they were all shot and edited on her phone. Luckily, her images transitioned seamlessly from the screen into the art world. "It was so beautiful I cried," she says of seeing her first print, which she dubbed Dutch Love. Its romantic combination of amaryllises, roses, carnations, peonies, daffodils and lisianthus has gone on to become one of her most popular images.
Florist-turned-floral-photographer Ashley Woodson Bailey; Photography by MK Sadler
After seeing how well Dutch Love turned out, Bailey realized that her vision of starting a floral printing business could become a reality. In early 2014, she officially launched her company with a collection of prints. "The photographs started out really dark and romantic and moody, and I think that probably had a lot to do with my mental state at the time," she explains of her original designs. As soon as her business debuted, her floral art business took off, gaining the attention of design blogs and magazines.
Last year, Bailey relocated to Jacksonville after falling in love with it on a trip to visit family. While the overall aesthetic of her work continues to evoke an old-fashioned and romantic feeling, living in Florida's sunshine has influenced her: "Now that I'm in Florida, everything is turning a little bit brighter, which is fun for me because I didn't ever really do that before," she says. "It feels very light and bright and happy here, so that has influenced my work a lot."
Her art has also evolved and expanded beyond just prints, as her floral designs have been turned into dreamy wallpaper, upholstery fabric and even clothing, including pajama sets and robes. Bailey has collaborated with other designers like Savannah-based Brooke Atwood, and she took her four-year-old business international by working with Australian children's brand Hubble + Duke. Despite her success, Bailey hasn't stopped shooting most projects on her phone. "I still like the way they turn out," she says.
"It's been awesome, and it was very unexpected," she says of her career as a florist-turned-floral-photographer. "That very sad thing happened, but it brought all of this amazing beauty into my life." awblove.com

Who is Jonathan Simkhai?

The designer is a clothing designer based in New York. His passion for fashion began long before he decided to pursue a career as a designer. Simkhai started to develop a discerning eye for fashion while bonding with his mother in department stores and assisting his girlfriends with their shopping. He is recognized for his portrayal as himself in the 2018 film Ocean's Eight and for producing and appearing in the 2016 TV series The Fashion Fund.
The designer grew up with three siblings, and his parents are Osrich Simkhai and Marvis Olsen. Simkhai is openly gay and married to TJ Allers, a fashion publicist, in 2017. They married in Bridgehampton, New York.
New Beginnings and Career
His passion for fashion began when he was 14 years old and was given a chance to work as an assistant buyer at a small shop. Jonathan was immediately elevated to buyer and merchandiser for the boutique after only just a few months. He dealt directly with clients while working in a retail setting, understanding exactly what they desired in a garment and what made them feel attractive. By developing his expertise in buying and merchandising, Jonathan Simkhai has developed into the designer he is today. After graduating from high school, Jonathan went on to Parsons and the Apparel Institute of Technology, polishing his talents as a designer and working for his family's apparel manufacturing business. He was given a chance to put his expertise to the test and produce a product while he was there. Jonathan studied merchandising, specs, fabric sourcing, production, and marketing for two years. Simkhai devotes the majority of his time to reviving traditional styles and honing his grasp of the needs of his customers.
Personal Collection
Simkhai debuted his eponymous collection in 2010, certain that he had all the tools he required to create his own label. He presented his take on smart clothing for the modern, global woman. His collection is full of ambiguity, blurring the lines between gender in clothing and sexuality. Simkhai's collection is inspired by men's fashion trends and incorporates gorgeous textiles such as cashmere, wool, cotton, and silk. He displays classic styles transformed into sexy and feminine outlines Simkhai earned the CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund Award in 2015, allowing him to extend his business internationally and into other categories. Simkhai has broadened his product line since 2010, producing denim and swimwear and collaborating with Carbon38 and Reebok on capsule collections. Simkhai is available in more than 200 stores in 40 countries. The designer's first retail store, which sells all categories and capsule collections, debuted in July of 2018. He moved his headquarters to Los Angeles, California, in 2018, where he now has a multi-level atelier and store. His first retail shopping destination is located at his headquarters, and it features ready-to-wear, custom designs, and special collaborations.
The designer has a net worth of $3 million and a salary of over $200 thousand dollars a year. His net worth grew as a result of his fame as a fashion designer and actor.

Growth hormone deficiency is a condition in which the body doesn't produce enough growth hormone. About one in 3,500 elementary-school children are affected. It can result in delayed puberty and poorer than expected growth. However, growth rates are improved in most children who are treated with growth hormone replacement therapy.
Diagnosing growth hormone deficiency typically starts with a physical exam by a physician to help them determine if there are any signs of slowed growth.
Your doctor will check your weight, height, and body proportions, and most likely run blood tests.

Freddie Mac: New Survey Shows Gen Z Apprehensive About the Path to Homeownership
MCLEAN, Va., Nov. 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Homeownership continues to be something to strive for among ?Generation Z,? the demographic cohort following Millennials, according to a new survey from Freddie Mac . This survey of respondents finds that the attitudes of Gen Z adults (ages 18-25) are largely positive when it comes to the idea of homeownership, though they are increasingly leery of the obstacles they may face. One in three Gen Z adults (34%) say homeownership at any point seems out of reach financially?which rises slightly to 35% of Black respondents and more to 50% of Hispanic respondents. When this survey was last fielded in 2019, 27% of Gen Z adults said homeownership is out of reach financially.
Gen Z adults identified the following as the top five hurdles to homeownership:
Saving for a down payment (39%)
Not having a sufficient credit history (27%)
Unstable job situation (27%)
Student loan debt (22%)
Credit card debt (11%)
?Currently in the housing market, we?re seeing rising mortgage rates, insufficient supply and elevated house prices bringing about significant affordability challenges,? said Pam Perry, Single-Family Vice President of Equitable Housing at Freddie Mac. ?Gen Z has taken notice and their hopes of homeownership have waned as the potential issues they may face in purchasing a home have become front and center.?
Like the 2019 survey, Gen Z adults prefer homeownership over renting and believes owning a home provides more privacy (96%), is something to be proud of (95%), and allows for more control and independence (92%). The latest survey data also show that Gen Z adults acknowledge the benefits of renting, citing flexibility (76%), being close to the ?action? (65%), and less stress than owning (63%) as positives. This is especially true for Black and Hispanic adult respondents, many of whom view renting with pride (71% and 49% respectively) and a way to build community (41% and 43%, respectively).
As Gen Z (ages 14-25) prepares for and takes on additional financial responsibility, the survey shows that they have good financial role models in their life who demonstrate financial responsibility. Eighty-nine percent of Gen Z includes their parents as one of their top three most influential on views of money and a go-to resource for financial advice. Unfortunately, however, Black Gen Zers lag on early financial education, while Hispanic Gen Zers are more inclined to worry about family finances. Still, unlike their White peers (43%), these groups are optimistic that they will fare better than their parents (68% of Black respondents and 58% of Hispanic respondents).
Perry added, ?Freddie Mac has been following this emerging generation closely and leading the industry to help solve for potential challenges that this group may face. Freddie Mac is doing this with efforts like low down payment mortgage products, credit building initiatives, and our financial capability curriculum, CreditSmart?.?
Freddie Mac contracted with IPSOS to conduct the online survey from March 24, 2022 to April 13, 2022. Qualitative interviews were also done in June and July 2022. Data was collected from 1,749 American teenagers and young adults aged 14 to 25 years old. The data has been weighted to reflect the composition of the U.S. adult population. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are approximately 68 million people in the U.S. who make up Gen Z (of which 51.9 million are ages 14-25).
Freddie Mac makes home possible for millions of families and individuals by providing mortgage capital to lenders. Since our creation by Congress in 1970, we?ve made housing more accessible and affordable for homebuyers and renters in communities nationwide. We are building a better housing finance system for homebuyers, renters, lenders, investors, and taxpayers.

Bored as you may be with blog entries about wood, I couldn't resist a sidebar about what is happening with all the wood I split over the past few weeks. I went online again and placed an ad on Craig's List with the headline: Approx. 1 cord split firewood/you haul - $50.
Hello, I'm interested in your wood. Approximately how much is there?
Okay, call me a pervert, but having a strange man send me an e-mail that says he is interested in my "wood" and how much is there was kind of disturbing. I resisted my initial urge to respond, "How much can you handle?"
Now beyond the double meaning of wood in some circles, the e-mail disturbed me in another way. Because the ad clearly states there was about one cord of split firewood. And there was a photo of it. So to ask me approximately how much wood there is gives me every right to want to pummel the idiot with one of the logs. If you don't know how much a cord of firewood is, you shouldn't be playing with fire. A cord is a stack of wood 4 feet wide, 4 feet high and 8 feet long.
But perhaps, once again, I'm being harsh. At least he phrased his question with a complete sentence. I received one reply that said, "i'll take it." That's it.
Perhaps I'm expecting too much from people that read Craig's List.
But I'll keep you posted on who or what ends up with my wood.
Entertaining and informative. I did not know the exact amount indicated by the word cord.
Haaahhhh :D I was up early reading this. I laughed so loud I thought I was going to wake the kids. Wood.... damn that was funny. I'll be back to see just who are you giv'n the wood to?
Glad I struck a cord.
I'm glad you saw the humor in the "wood." I was beginning to think I was the only one that thought it was funny.

"Because when you're a member of the Brotherhood and you hear that Dodge is offering its record-breaking Power Dollars on the 2021 Dodge Durango just now arriving in dealerships, you don't see crazy, you hear music, but only for four days. Is it crazy, even for Dodge? Maybe, but if you're not first, you're last."
