Sophomore film, photography and visual arts major Mike Blaney made his first movie with his little sister when he was only 8 years old. As a kid, he wasn't producing high-quality films, but he was realizing his passion behind a lens.
Some of Blaney's scripts depict scenes of explosions, chaos and special effects. With aspirations to produce high-octane films like those directed by Steven Spielberg, Blaney has been fine-tuning the way he develops his films while studying at Ithaca College. Last year, his conceptual short film "Lens" was endorsed on the college's YouTube channel. The film showed Blaney's affinity for eerie visual effects similar to Spielberg's.
Sophomore journalism major Sydney Normil aims to see her original designs walk down a catwalk. Her focus on black, form-fitting ensembles invites comparison to the daring designs of Coco Chanel, the French femme fatale who changed the face of fashion.
Normil is currently working on her designs for the Maestro Productions fashion show next semester at Ithaca College. As a premiere designer for the show, her fashions will be featured alongside other college designers. Last year, she designed costumes for a student film called "Time's Arrow." She compiled contemporary clothing and created jackets and coats from scratch.
Normil said she wants to make bold choices to create eye-catching clothing.
"I want to take basic human figures, bold shoulders, lace, leather and manipulate it in such a way that it brings a whole new life and attention to what it was previously," she said.
Senior cinema and photography major Joe Pera doesn't open his acts with over-the-top, gaudy humor. Known for his low-key style, Pera still manages to make crowds crack up. In November, he won first place in the IC Stand-up competition and has established himself as a successful comedian on campus.
Though she isn't pursuing dance or performance full time at Ithaca College, sophomore outdoor learning adventure major Laura Kathrein's arabesque doesn't lie — she's got some serious moves.
Sophomore musical theater major Elizabeth Hake has a mean set of vocal chords — and she's not afraid to belt.
Hake has already performed in two main stage productions at Ithaca College, including "Children of Eden" this year. She finds inspiration from Sutton Foster, the Tony Award-winning actress who originated the role of Millie in the Broadway production of "Thoroughly Modern Millie" — a role that Hake played in high school.

NH Man Accused in Deaths of Father, Wife Indicted For Murder
By Katherine Underwood and Kaitlin Flanigan	• Published at 10:02 am on December 26, 2018
Dover resident Jeramie Colella, 44, was charged with the murders of his wife, Joanna Colella, and his father, Francis Colella.
An autopsy revealed the victims were strangled.
The bodies were discovered after officials performed a well-being check.
The New Hampshire man accused of murdering his wife and his father inside his home has been indicted for first-degree murder and other charges, according to the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office.
Jeramie Colella, 44, waived his arraignment in Strafford County Superior Court so he didn't face a judge.
Prosecutors say Dover Police were called to 18 Tideview Estates Monday morning.
"Dover was there to do a well-being check and they discovered the bodies," explained Assistant Attorney General John Kennedy.
Jeramie Colella, 44, is now charged with two counts of second-degree murder. Police say he killed his wife, 43-year-old Joanna Colella, and his father, 69-year-old Francis Colella, sometime between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning.
"You don't want to think anyone living close to you could do that to someone else," said neighbor Debby Boyle.
The bodies were found just across a small parking lot from where Eric Cuvellier lives with his wife.
"It's sad, I wish I could've done something," he said Tuesday afternoon.
As the state builds its case against Colella, the affidavits are sealed and prosecutors are withholding a lot of the details, but turning to neighbors for help.
"We would ask at this point if anyone in the area heard or saw anything Sunday around noon time until Monday morning, contact the Dover Police Department," said Kennedy.
Cuvellier told NBC10 Boston he works the third shift and was awake all night.
"I was up Sunday into Monday morning and nothing," he said.
Residents say a double murder in the usually quiet neighborhood is shocking but there was a growing concern among some residents about Colella.
"There's been chatter in the neighborhood, someone suggested he's been getting worse, withdrawn and disheveled over the past year, so I don't know what happened," Boyle said.
Colella waived his arraignment in Strafford County Superior Court in August, so he didn't face a judge then.

Anniversary Ball
by XslvrstarX on Wed Aug 10, 2016 6:49 pm
A ball held in honor of Elessar and Nauriel's wedding anniversary was a yearly tradition. The happy couple put on several balls throughout the year, but the 'Spring Ball', as it had come to be known, was everyone's favorite. Women had new dresses made and picked out their best jewelry to show off for the evening and the men made sure their best suits were pressed and their shoes shined. There was always wonderful food and flowing wine and ale and music to set the dancing mood.
The kitchens had been preparing the food for days now and the servants had been making sure that the ballroom was clean and sparkling. There were small round tables and chairs on the perimeter of the room and each table was decorated with fresh flowers. The day had been beautiful and the night was sure to be cloudless, which would ensure the sky would be glistening with stars. Back in their rooms, Nauriel pulled her hair over her shoulder so Elessar could secure the necklace he had given her on the day of their coronation. It was a priceless piece he had found in the cave and kept hidden from her for years so he could surprise her with it. It was Nauriel's most precious piece and she wore it every year at the ball. Nauriel was still extremely beautiful, despite her age and the fact that she had given birth to, and raised four children. The elven blood that flowed through her veins maintained a more youthful look, but her eyes held the wisdom of five lifetimes. After the war, she and Elessar had settled into their new lives. Nauriel still missed the thrill of the adventures they had once had, but with the good memories came the bad. Cold, wet nights...little food...fighting for their lives...always on the run. They had sacrificed everything in order to ensure the defeat of Sauron and as a result they grew incredibly close. No one shared a bond like theirs. It was strong and filled with passionate, undying love. Even after years of living in the palace and raising four children they still desired each other as much as they had their first years together.
Nauriel smiled at her husband through a mirror that sat in front of her. He was still so handsome and strong. She still admired him and looked up to him. In her eyes there was no greater king, father, or husband.
"Can you believe how long it's been? I keep thinking that one year we should travel back to that small town where we were married and take our vows again."
Re: Anniversary Ball

He kissed her pale neck and lightly thumbed her earlobes as he took in her scent before he straightened back up. "Alas, I'm not even certain it still exists but my love and devotion to you does," Elessar said in a smoky voice that proved to her he liked what he saw in the mirror. "No King could have a wiser queen at his side and no man a more beautiful woman," he said and smiled at how the necklace twinkled in the dim light. "You are a trollslayer, a ranger and a fierce warrior. You are my wife and the love of my life Queen Nauriel Telcontar," he said in that same, loving voice and he went to a knee beside her. "You are the mother of my children and wherever you go you take my heart with you," he said and he lifted her hand to his mouth and lightly kissed her knuckles.
Times like these were rare for Elessar and Nauriel. Either he is busy running a kingdom or she is or both of them. Tonight was for them as much as for their family and friends. He smiled and whispered what he was going to do to that dress and more after the ball. When she faced him he kissed her deeply and after a few more shorter kisses he let her finish getting ready and stood. He pivoted smoothly and looked toward the door.
"This will be the first year without our Laenaya," he said mournfully but they knew she was now in Gehenna and soon she would birth their first grandchild. "Not a day goes by that I do not miss her Nauriel," he said and turned to half face her. "I think soon you should consider going to her in disguise," he said half in thought. He missed his angel, his oldest. He should have never to agreed to that...farce of a marriage though her husband appeared to really care for her form what Ithilwen had wrote.
Nauriel smiled as he kissed her neck. He was so strong and yet could be so gentle. His words made her smile widen and her cheeks flush. Her heart was filled with so much love for him that she felt her heart might burst. As she turned to face him he kissed her deeply and she kissed him back. Somehow they were both able to contain their passions (for now) and he pulled away and stepped aside to let her finish getting ready. His words about Laenaya made her pause though. She knew how much he missed her. She missed her just as much and had worried so much about her. Thankfully, she was now safe in Gehenna and from Lindariel's letter it seemed to her at least that Brandt, or Cole as he was now called, truly loved her. She couldn't believe that her first grandchild would be born any day now. She wished she could be there for the birth, but she had promised Lindariel that she would come after the baby was born.
She finished getting ready and she walked over to where Elessar stood waiting by the door.
"I heard that Eldarion is not bringing Calista to the ball, which is troubling."
by Conleth on Thu Aug 11, 2016 6:42 am
Elessar gave her a sidelong glance and nodded. "Aye...I should speak to him," he said half thinking about what it was like for him at that age and how it must be for him. "He is just a young man trying to find his way, don't be too harsh on him Nauriel. I know you liked that girl," he told her softly. With their daughters Nauriel had been the example for them to pattern themselves after. A strong, sometimes unyielding woman but also compassionate and understanding. Eldarion...having a King as a father. Elessar expected him to act out more, go against the grain or even be unruly and difficult. He had not been not really save for his lack of interest in becoming betrothed. Not really a fair standard considering Elessar himself had not right away either. It was difficult though when there was a young woman he knew Nauriel really liked like Calista. They felt Calista could...compliment him in many ways but secretly or maybe not so secretly, Elessar wondered about the wanderlust. It was in their blood and though he had been to Rohan he had not been West or South of the mountains or North of Rohan. There were still dangers in middle Earth. Places where evil lurked but nothing like when Sauron had existed. Now greed and corruption were the main threats and he hoped Eldarion walked clear of those temptations.
by XslvrstarX on Thu Aug 11, 2016 7:15 am
Nauriel shook her head a little. "I won't be harsh on him. I just wish that he would stop teasing Calista. I know she loves him...she told me so. I think she's afraid to tell him though...afraid he will reject her." She sighed a little and shook her head again. "I don't know who she's coming with tonight, but something in my gut tells me that something bad is going to happen because of it."
by Conleth on Thu Aug 11, 2016 12:15 pm
Elessar raised an eyebrow at her for saying that he was teasing but he held his disagreement with her back. "Perhaps it is less teasing and more that he is uncertain of what he wants. He may well want to commit himself to her and yet not be ready for that step. I think she is and truly cares for him and that is the heart of it. I could have a frank talk with him if that is what you want my love. I would deny you nothing today Nauriel," he said quite smoothly, his desire for her still plain in his eyes as he held his arm up for her to take.
As soon as they opened the door people began to shuffle. Men and women in fancy dresses, smart suits and crisp uniforms bowed to them as they passed. Elessar smiled and nodded as they passed people he knew. The large double doors stood closed until two servants in White and Gold brocaded garb pulled them open. The large ballroom echoed with their announcement and the roar of the mass of people was near to deafening and the shuffling of clothing as they all bowed. Upon that music sprang up inside the huge space and people fluttered to get to them soon than others who were more patient as they waited for their King and Queen to reach them.
by XslvrstarX on Thu Aug 11, 2016 12:31 pm
Nauriel shook her head. "No, do not speak to him about it. I do not want him to think we are forcing him into a marriage with Calista. It would make me very happy, but I want him to be happy more. This is a decision he should reach on his own."
She then took her husband's extended arm and together they left their rooms. As they walked they passed people outside of the ballroom who bowed to them. Nauriel smiled and nodded her head to them in return. As they approached, the doors to the ballroom were opened and their entrance was announced to much cheering and applause. As the music began, Nauriel moved with her husband to greet their guests.
Calista was already there with Hugo. She wore a beautiful emerald green dress. Her long, blonde hair was pulled half back and curled lightly down her back. Instinctively her eyes scanned the crowd for Eldarion. She was still angry at him, but she wanted to see him.
by Conleth on Thu Aug 11, 2016 5:20 pm
ooc- Today has been bat shit crazy K. Not sure when I'll be able to get a post in and tonight I'm supposed to go to my parents house for the evening.
by XslvrstarX on Thu Aug 11, 2016 5:24 pm
OOC-That's fine. I'm actually at my parents house tonight as well. No rush
Eldarion was smartly dressed in a crisp, dark gray suit with black leather boots and belt with silver buckles. His hair was feathered back and completely free as it cascaded down his shoulders. Melainie, his date was tall in her violet gown that held just enough elegance to transcend the lower cut that showed off her ample bosom. She had long, jet black hair that was mostly up with strands that's were curled and hung down on the sides of her face. Eldarion was decidedly not looking for Calista. He was still very angry with her and Hugo as well.
With a few other friends Eldarion stood with a small plate of food in one hand, his other behind Melanie's back as he laughed at one of his friend Sebastian's jokes.
by XslvrstarX on Fri Aug 12, 2016 7:09 am
Calista's eyes scanned the crowd and soon spotted Eldarion and Melainie. She rolled her eyes at the dress Melainie was wearing. It was clear to her what she was trying to do. She couldn't help but find Eldarion completely handsome in his suit and polished black leather boots. A twinge of pain actually went through her heart as she looked at him. Hugo then asked her to dance and she accepted and she walked with him out onto the dance floor. Her emerald dress was rather eye catching and as she danced with Hugo it would probably be difficult for Eldarion not to see her.
by Conleth on Fri Aug 12, 2016 7:35 am
Eldarion had had a couple glasses of wine and Melanie to and he was having a rather good time until he saw Calista ofcourse. She was beautiful in her green dress as she turned and swayed gracefully as she danced. She smiled as Hugo took her hand and spun around himself. The color of her dressed seemed to mimic the color of his emotions as he decided that two could play at that game! He brought Melanie who smiled brightly as they filled an empty spot in the line for the dance.
It was a fairly lively dance, each partner alternated the women on one side the men on the other. The partners moved up toward one another, spun around each other, stepped and moved onto the other side then shifted one way, then another then reversed the steps back to where they started then stepped and spun to a diagonal position with another partner. After 4 such changes Calista found herself facing Eldarion. He didn't glower at her exactly but he couldn't manage to keep the hurt out of his eyes and the obvious jealousy. He could take no more then grabbed her hand and hauled her off toward one of the dessert tables. It was obvious she tried to pull back but he had an iron grip on her wrist. The moment they vacated their spot was taken up by others as the dance continued.
He was somewhat out of breath but still able to speak to her. "So this is how you push me into doing what you want me to do!? Hugo? Really, Hugo? You can't possibly be serious Calista! He is my best friend and you are as well, why are you doing this really?" he asked angrily. A few older people looked over at them then whispered to one another before they stepped away. Eldarion did not seem to notice.
Calista had hoped that by dancing that she would forget about Eldarion and just have a good time. She hadn't noticed that he and his date had actually joined the line until she suddenly found herself face to face with him. She looked surprised and a sense of tension filled the space between them. Suddenly, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her away from the rest of the group and over towards one of the dessert tables. There were a few people standing there as Eldarion began talking rather loudly to her, but they quickly left.
"I...I don't know what you want from me Eldarion," she replied. "For the past two years you seem to want to be with me and then not and then want to be with me again and then not. I don't know how much more of that I can take. You didn't seem interested in asking me to go with you tonight and Hugo had...so I said yes."
He looked at her oddly and what she said seemed to irritate him further. "What are you talking about, we always go together? Always! I would have asked you like always but you distracted me!" He said in obvious exasperation. He loosened his grip but he didn't want to let her go. She was very beautiful in that dress he noticed again but the thought faded quickly. "Calista you know I have feelings for you and I thought you were my friend. All of a sudden we have to make what there is between us official? Why? Where is this coming from? We are still young Calista and there is a whole world out there waiting for us. Do you honestly want to just get married then live here in the city? If I asked you to leave with me tomorrow...would you go? I can remember when you might and it wouldn't have mattered where we were going. Or now would that require that we get married as well!?" He asked as his eyes searched hers. 'Calista, it's me...YOUR Eldarion, a ring and a promise doesn't make that any less true," he said.
Calista was clearly taken aback by his words. She felt tears come to her eyes as she listened to him. She was unaware that Hugo had started to come over and was not happy.
"Yes," she said without hesitation. "Yes, I would go with you." Then more gently and lovingly, "I would always go with you."
Hugo clenched his fists as he stepped up to Eldarion. "Back off Eldarion," he said rather threateningly as he glared at him. "Calista is MY date."
Melanie had not seen Eldarion leave the line and she loved to dance and just continued. Hugo however had seen Eldarion pull Calista away. He had always liked Calista but up until now Eldarion had always been there. He liked Eldarion, they had been friends since they were children. But also he held a bit of jealousy toward him. He was also a bit faster, a bit stronger, a bit better looking and ofcourse, the son of the King. He also had the most beautiful woman to dandle on his knee.
"Go away Hugo, we're talking alright?" he said as he turned to face him then turned back to Calista. It was then that Melanie spotted them and had come over to find out why Eldarion, HER Eldarion was holding that chit Calista's hand! Calista was always more respected, always more liked, she had many friends and was just that much more pretty than she was. "One man isn't enough for you Calista!?" She snapped just as Hugo grabbed hold of Eldarion's lapels and jerked him away from Calista.
Calista tried to get Hugo to step back, but he almost shoved her away and nearly into Melanie who had stormed over and started yelling in her face. By now most of the ballroom was watching them. She turned back just in time to see Hugo punch Eldarion. She gasped and started screaming at them to stop as Eldarion began to fight him back.
Nauriel looked over in horror to see her son and his best friend fighting. She looked over at Elessar as one of the tables got knocked over in the struggle.
"Do something please."
by Conleth on Fri Aug 12, 2016 12:27 pm
It had only took Nauriel to ask before Elessar himself nodded to her and to the two they had been talking to before he moved briskly toward them. Eldarion punched Hugo on the cheek as Hugo tried to kick his feet out of under him. The two young men had sparred many times but this time they swung their clenched fists and booted feet to hurt one another for true. Eldarion pivoted, Catching Hugo at the crook of his arm then hit him thrice in quick succession in the chest. Growling Hugo swung his thick arm and struck Eldarion in the side.
Melanie looked on with delight as the two men pummeled one another until the King himself came into her view. She saw his expression though and knew that he was angry. It was then that she looked for a way to fade back into the crowd but his gaze did cross over her briefly and her feet just refused to move. Elessar was a very tall man at 6'6" in height. And he was also very broad and strong, his thick arms moved to snatch the two men, strong hands gripping the scruff of their suit coats and hauling them up from their brawl. His knowing, displeased gaze crawled over Calista as well as the two men who seemed no more than boys were jerked upright and apart. He only had to look at them when their eyes went wide and their heads went down.
"Eldarion, you would decide that today of all days to act like a boy in the schoolyard? Your mother is very displeased with you!" He said with a stern gaze that shifted to Hugo. "And you Hugo, by the look that your father just gave me young man, you better have a good explanation for laying hands on the Prince of Gondor!" he growled. "No...no, I do not want to hear it...and don't think that i don't know that you two," he turned and faced the two young women, "Don't have a part to play in all of this!" he said as he lowered the two young men two the ground. "You will, all 4, go to the Queen and apologize to her right this instance then, you will find the nearest empty table and sit down and talk out what it is that could cause you to forget that you are men and women of Gondor!" He said and took one last angry gaze to each and every one of them. Eldarion blushed profusely as well did Hugo and Melanie.

Calista was too busy yelling at the boys to stop to notice the king walking towards them. She was angry and upset over what was happening, but when she saw the king she became rather mortified as well. She noticed that Melanie quickly tried to disappear. When the king looked at her she lowered her gaze, her face red with embarrassment as the king scolded them. She moved with the others silently over to where the queen stood, looking quite unhappy. She apologized and waited for the others to do the same. She couldn't help but glance over at Eldarion. He hadn't been able to respond to what she had said. Both he and Hugo looked a mess and she wanted to ask him if he was alright, but she remained quiet. Beside her she could feel Melanie seething.
by Conleth on Fri Aug 12, 2016 2:47 pm
Melanie had done nothing but try and have a good time. Why she was apologizing to the queen… THE QUEEN! While her parents watched from afar was beyond her. Eldarion was last and by the look Nauriel gave him it was a wonder she didn't peel his hide from his back right then and there.
At the table there wasn't a happy face among them. "Men!" Melanie sniffed audibly and stuck her nose up at them indignantly. "All you can think to do is use your muscles instead of your brains. Hugo, when I get my hands on you, you will loathe the day your mother gave your father that first kiss!" She growled. Hugo barked back at her. "Well at least I'm not exposing myself to every man in the room! If you showed any more cleavage I think you might cause some of the old men in here to pass out!" Melanie's eyes took on a dangerous light and she even rolled up the lace on her sleeves as if there was going to be another brawl very soon.
"Will you two knock it off!? It's none of your faults, it's mine!" Eldarion nearly shouted. "It's all my fault," he repeated in a softer tone as he took them all in. "I'm sorry Hugo, for striking you. And I apologize to you Melanie for not attending you as I should have after inviting you. Now, will you two please shut up so I can speak to Calista?" He said in that tone he took when he was done with arguing. He turned to Calista and leaned in toward her. "I'm sorry Calista, for getting you into this and ruining the evening. I had no right and should have just let it alone until after," he said apologetically. "I hope you will forgive me," he said again as if he really did think it all all his fault. Eldarion often did this. He took responsibility even when it wasn't all his fault. He felt that even if it was only partly his it was his responsibility to put everything right.
"And I heard what you said. If you think I am worth waiting for then I will ask you here and now to wait until I am ready. When I am, you will be the first person to know it," he told her. "If you can not wait...it will break my heart in two but I will understand. The world is changing and I feel we must change with it," he continued. As he did Melanie and Hugo had their own heads together talking in hushed tones. "For me there was never another woman but you Calista. We were friends long before we became closer. I do not mean to lead you on or presume that you will wait indefinitely. I only ask you to give me a little time….a year and a day perhaps. Long enough to see a little more of the world," he said and then he took her gloved hand in his. Slowly he removed the one on her right hand then put it in his belt. All without taking his eyes from hers. He took her hand in his and she would feel that his was very warm.
"If it is a betrothal that will satisfy your family then I will speak to your father on the marrow and make my intentions plain enough for them to get off your back. Will that suffice?" he asked though his eyes flickered for a moment over to Hugo and Melanie who were now kissing like two dogs in heat.
Calista took a seat beside Eldarion at the table. She remained quiet as Hugo and Melanie began to argue. She sighed and nearly rolled her eyes but stopped herself. As Eldarion suddenly spoke up and began to take responsibility for everything she looked over at him and her eyes met his. It was not entirely his fault. It was partly hers as well. She remained quiet and let him speak. She never took her eyes from his. He would see her eyes water, though she held back any tears. She couldn't remember a time when Eldarion wasn't in her life. She needed him. She loved him and she knew that she would love no one else. She hadn't wanted to upset him or push him into something he wasn't ready for...or possibly didn't even want. As he took her right hand she watched him as he removed her glove and took her bare hand into his. His hand felt warm and nice in her own. She wanted to speak...to talk him privately. She glanced over at Hugo and Melanie and raised an eyebrow slightly, but then looked back at Eldarion.
"Can we go somewhere private to talk?"
He looked over at Hugo and Melanie once more then shook his head before he looked back at Calista. Wordlessly he took her hand in his and led her away from the ballroom. The Inner halls were a maze of hallways and rooms. People stood here and there but barely even took any notice of them as they passed by. He took her up one flight and down another hall then finally he closed the double doors of the massive conservatory behind them. Water from a small fountain bubbled and splashed nearby but that was the only sound in the room. He guided her over to the lounger near the fountain then waited for her to sit before he sat beside her himself. Eldarion had done all the talking until now and he wanted her to feel comfortable enough to speak to him. She was not so forward now that they were older. She used to say whatever was on her mind. Now though, she was deliberate temperance, a quality instilled in her by her mother. He sat erect, his left hand square on his left thigh.
Calista walked with Eldarion out of the ballroom. Many people watched them and began to whisper as they left, hand in hand. Neither of them spoke as he led her through the maze of hallways and then up a flight of stairs and then down another hallway. They walked into the conservatory together and she looked around slightly before following him over to the lounger, which was next to a fountain. She sat down and he took his seat beside her. He said nothing and put his hands in his lap. For a long moment the only sound in the room was from the fountain. Calista looked ahead, saying nothing. Suddenly, she turned and leaned forward and kissed him deeply and rather passionately.
Eldarion was taken by surprise by her kiss. For so long it was mostly he that initiated things and even that was only permitted seldomly. Now her lips pressed up against his and he felt all sense leave his head. He liked her lips. So full and soft and warm and she smelled clean and sweet and flowery. He kept his hands in his lap though he wanted to touch her. To put his arms around her and press her body to his and whisper how much he loved her. That would undoubtedly spark things that they both knew they might well regret later. He did take her hand in his though after her kisses became less chaste and he began to kiss her back just as passionately. His mouth seeking out hers almost hungrily and for the first time in a long time she didn't flinch back when he tasted her tongue with his own. Oh he was in it alright. Her kisses made his skin feel as if it were on fire.
It felt wonderful to feel his lips against her own...to feel him kissing her back just as passionately as she was kissing him. She couldn't help but notice that he kept his hands in his lap, though she didn't doubt he wanted to touch her. However, she knew that for now it would probably be best that he didn't. Feeling his hands on her would probably put her over the edge. She felt his tongue against her own and she followed what he did. Her head was spinning and her heart began to beat hard in her chest. Everything about this felt so right.
Slowly, and almost reluctantly, she pulled back, but she kept her face close to his. She looked up into his eyes.
"I love you Eldarion and I will wait patiently until you are ready." She was quiet a moment before speaking gently. "I meant what I said before...I will leave with you and follow you anywhere."

Methods to Identify Alternative Fuel Vehicles
Wednesday, October 9th, 2019 On Scene
A first responder has the important responsibility of identifying whether the vehicle(s) at the scene of an incident is an alternative fuel vehicle.
This task may be difficult if the vehicle has experienced extensive body damage or has major panels blocked by obstructions, as this could make it difficult to identify the vehicle through badging. The first responder should be prepared with alternative methods of identifying an alternative fuel vehicle other than vehicle badges and labels.
These methods may include:
badging and labels (primary means of identification);
non-standard dashboard layout and/or gauges;
multiple or non-standard fueling ports;
special underhood cables, warning labels, or equipment; and
external fuel tanks (usually on heavy duty vehicles and light-duty pick-up
trucks).
These propane tanks are visible from the outside of the vehicle and would alert first responders that the vehicle is fueled by something other than conventional gasoline or diesel. Credit: Propane Education and Research Council.
Once an alternative fuel vehicle has been identified at the incident scene, the first responder must inform all other emergency personnel of their findings so that they can safely and effectively perform their duties.
Design/VIN
Identifying an alternative fuel vehicle through the vehicle identification number (VIN) is possible, but not recommended. The content of the VIN varies by manufacturer and interpreting the information given in the VIN is difficult.
Another method to identify the vehicle is to look for characteristics of an AFV that are typically not found on non-AFV vehicles, such as a charge indicator on the dash, other AFV dash marking, or nonstandard or multiple fuel gauges.
First responders may also use an alternative fuel vehicle's distinctive vehicle profile as a method of identification. Many manufacturers such as Nissan, Chevrolet, and Toyota give their alternative fuel vehicles a unique look to separate them from conventionally powered vehicles.
Fuel Ports
Alternative fuel vehicles usually have either non-standard fueling ports or charging outlets, or multiple fuel doors and ports, if it can operate on more than one fuel source. Looking into the fuel doors on a vehicle can often help identify the fuel or fuels that a vehicle is equipped to use.
This can be especially useful if the vehicle is an aftermarket conversion because the fueling ports may contain non-standard receptacles.
This natural gas fueling port would clue first responders to the alternative fuel inside the vehicle. Credit: NAFTC.
Electric Drive Vehicle Identification
Many manufacturers produce both an electric drive and conventionally powered version of the same vehicle. Both ersions may look identical from the outside. The Ford Explorer, Honda Accord, and Toyota Camry are some examples of vehicles that are identical in appearance. Note that they may have an emblem or model number identifying them as an EV.
Some hybrid vehicles have a badge or emblem that indicates the presence of an electric vehicle system. Credit: NAFTC.
Some models do not use traditional EV emblems and may, like the Lexus, use only an "h" to signify the vehicle is a hybrid. Other makers use a badge emblem that could be easily removed by the owner. EV logos are usually found at the rear of the vehicle or on the front or rear doors, but on models where the logo appears only on the trunk or hatchback, the potential exists for it to become destroyed in a rear-end collision.
Emblems or high-voltage stickers may be found under the hood in the engine compartment. However, the fastest way to identify an EV other than badging is by the presence of orange and blue cables that may be visible under the hood or along the chassis outside of the passenger compartment. Another less obvious identification method includes finding visible battery vents. Because the continual discharge and recharge of the high-voltage battery system produces excess heat, designers have installed vents to help cool the batteries. Typically, only older models have visible vents. The early version of the Toyota Prius had a vent in the driver's side "C" post. The Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner have vents on the driver's side rear quarter glass.
Compressed Natural Gas Vehicle Identification
Some CNG vehicles may have a sticker or badge indicating their fuel. Credit: NAFTC.
Many CNG vehicles have a diamond-shaped blue decal with the lettering "CNG" on the side, trunk, tailgate, or cylinder areas, identifying the vehicle as capable of using CNG. Some manufacturers such as Honda have used an "NGV" emblem on the sides and trunk such as that of the Civic GX natural gas vehicle.
Liquefied Natural Gas Vehicle Identification
Often fleets that are proud of their cleaner transportation choices will use badges alterting customers of the fuel inside. Credit: NAFTC.
To help first responders and others accurately identify LNG vehicles, many such vehicles have a diamond-shaped blue decal with the lettering "LNG" on the side, trunk, tailgate or fuel tank areas, identifying the vehicle as capable of using LNG as a fuel source.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas Vehicle Identification
Many school districts use propane for bus fuel to cut down on local emissions and particulate matter. Credit: NAFTC.
Like CNG and LNG vehicles, many LPG vehicles also have a blue diamond-shaped decal with the lettering "Propane" on
the side or trunk, identifying it as being capable of being propelled by LPG.
Hydrogen Vehicle Identification
Hydrogen powered vehicles can also be identified by the blue diamond-shaped decal with the lettering "Hydrogen." Also as hydrogen vehicles are very new to the marketplace, manufacturers may have them branded with large, often flashy labels that help identify them.
Biodiesel Vehicle Identification
There are no standards for the labeling of biodiesel powered vehicles. However, some manufacturers such as Volkswagen have used the letters "TDI" to denote that the Jetta runs on diesel. Ford uses the "Power Stroke" wording
or emblem and the F-250 label on the sides of its Super-Duty series trucks to denote that the truck runs on diesel
or biodiesel. Dodge uses its BlueTec emblem on its diesel powered vehicles.
Ethanol Vehicle Identification
Flex fuel vehicles are some of the most common alternative fuel vehicles and can run on higher percentages of ethanol. Credit: General Motors.
Many ethanol, or flexible fuel vehicles, have a symbol or emblem on the side or trunk of the vehicle showing that the vehicle is capable of utilizing ethanol. The emblem style and size can vary by manufacturer. Ethanol vehicles can sometimes be identified by the color of its gasoline tank cap. Many ethanol vehicles come equipped with a bright yellow cap, usually labelled with an "E85" statement.

The module is an introduction to modern ideas in cryptography. It proves the background to the essential techniques and algorithms of cryptography in widespread use today, as well as the essentials of number theory underlying them.
The module looks at symmetric ciphersystems and their use in classical cryptography as well as public key systems developed to support internet commerce and deliver data security for private individuals.
• Solution of linear congruence equations; Fermat's Little Theorem and generalisations; Quadratic congruence equations; Primality testing and prime factorisation techniques; Primitive roots; Discrete logarithms.
• Euclidean algorithm and the calculation of inverses.
• History and Terminology, Symmetric Encryption. Classical cryptography and techniques for cryptanalysis based on frequency analysis, Block Cipher Principles.
• Asymmetric and Public Key Encryption: RSA public key cryptosystem; El Gamel and Diffie Hellman protocols based on discrete logarithms.
Students' learning is directed via face-to-face learning activities centred on lectures and seminars. There is full provision of documents related to the module in electronic format that can be accessed by students all the time. The documents include lecture notes, slides, guidance to further reading and relevant mathematical packages, and exercises and tests. In particular the MAPLE computer algebra system is used to explore number theoretic properties for the sort of large natural numbers used to generate keys for modern cryptosystems. This will develop transferable skills applicable across the mathematics subject area.
Students will also reflect on the issues raised by the module for personal data privacy and consider where they feel the boundaries between personal liberty and a secure society should be set.
LO3 Construct and perform arithmetic, including finding inverses, in finite and infinite fields.
There will be a series of mini tests every 2-3 weeks lasting c15-20minutes, allowing students an early opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of basic topics and techniques [from LO1, LO2 ,LO3] and to receive feedback on them. The marks for these are aggregated to form a mark for component sequence 001. Students who fail this component of assessment on aggregate will be reassessed by a one hour test covering all topics.
Additionally a 1.5 hour test will take place at the end of the module where students will be tested across the whole of the material studied with longer questions covering both theory and practice in number theory and cryptography [LO1,LO2,LO3].

I did an episode of Iron Chef two summers ago with a very talented chef named Joe Isidori. I got to eat approximately 15 courses of steak prepared by him and Bobby Flay. It was pure heaven. I just wish I could have distributed those meals out over a longer period of time… they had to roll me out on a cart.
Joe Isidori recently opened a new restaurant in Brooklyn called Arthur on Smith Street, check it out please.
The meal begins not with a plain ol' basket of bread and butter but with a wooden box filled with the most heavenly exotic bread you've ever sunk your teeth into, and pad of butter soaking in a pool of honey.
It also begins with this, a 24 hour pickle.
The idea behind the 24 hour pickle is to soak your kirby cucumbers in the pickling liquid for a single day so that they have a fresh flavor, and crunchy cucumber texture, with a mild and refreshing tang. It's the only way I want to eat pickles now.
So I've been making some for myself, one cucumber at a time, reusing the pickling liquid as needed. You don't want to make a whole lot of cucumbers at once unless you plan to have a pickle feast for dinner. This pickle style is more a la minute.
I don't know what his particular recipe is, but mine has been working out just great. If you like pickles, I think you should try fresh pickles. They are even better.
Here is my 24-hour pickle recipe for you to try next time you have kirby cucumbers in your midst. It's refreshing way to start a meal.
What's your favorite thing to pickle?
How many more times can I say pickle in this post?
Save this liquid, reheat and use to make more pickles. You can also make a larger batch but keep in mind that it won't have the same fresh flavor and crunch unless they are consumed within 48 hours.
Combine all the ingredients except the cucumber into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Turn off the heat and let cool until warm.
Add the kirby cucumber to a quart sized mason jar and pour the liquid and spices into the jar, covering the cucumber. Seal with a lid and place in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
Eat whole or cut into spears.
I love pickles. I love bread and butters, but I love a garlic dill, too. This sounds like a great way to make a garlic dill that won't get mushy. I hate mushy pickles.
I just noticed my co-op sells pickling seasoning. Have you ever used anything like this? Results?
I mix my own but you should try it and tell us how it works, I'm sure it's great.
As long as it is a plastic that can handle the vinegar. Sounds like a fun girls weekend treat!
Thanks for the reply!! My other question is…..why a Kirby cucumber? Could it work with others?
Because they fit in the jar and large cucumbers won't pickle nicely in 24 hours time!
This is such a clever idea, I must try it!
Great to have one of those recipes! In Azerbaijan you would do this with herb-and-garlic stuffed fresh eggplants, love it!!
Yum, love the idea of pickled eggplant Sofya!
I wonder if this would work for pickling green beans, one of my favorite things to can.
Yes! That would be wonderful.
DO YOU NEED TO REHEAT THE PICKLE JUICE EACH TIME YOU PUT A NEW CUKE IN?
Disregard, I just noticed the reheat direction. How many times can you reuse the liquid?

Effects of E‐cigarettes and vaping devices on cardiac and pulmonary physiology
MuChun Tsai, Min Kwang Byun, John Shin, and Laura E. Crotty Alexander, The Physiological Society:
E‐cigarette aerosols are exceedingly different from conventional tobacco smoke, containing dozens of chemicals not found in cigarette smoke. It is highly likely that chronic use of e‐cigarettes will induce pathologic changes in both the heart and lungs. Here we review human and animal studies published to date and summarize the cardiopulmonary physiologic changes caused by vaping. In terms of cardiac physiology, acute exposure to e‐cigarette aerosols in human subjects led to increased blood pressure and heart rate, similar to traditional cigarettes. Chronic exposure to e‐cigarette aerosols using animal models caused increased arterial stiffness, vascular endothelial changes, increased angiogenesis, cardiorenal fibrosis and increased atherosclerotic plaque formation. Pulmonary physiology is also affected by e‐cigarette aerosol inhalation, with increased airway reactivity, airway obstruction, inflammation and emphysema. Research thus far demonstrates that the heart and lung undergo numerous changes in response to e‐cigarette use, and disease development will depend on how those changes combine with both environmental and genetic factors. E‐cigarettes have been advertised as a healthy alternative to cigarette smoking, and users are under the impression that vaping of e‐cigarettes is harmless, but these claims that e‐cigarettes are safer and healthier are not based on evidence. Data from both humans and animal models are consistent in demonstrating that vaping of e‐cigarettes causes health effects both similar to and disparate from those of cigarette smoking. Further work is needed to define the long‐term cardiopulmonary effects of e‐cigarette use in humans.
Abstract figure legend
Data across both human and animal studies demonstrate that daily inhalation of e‐cigarette or vaping device aerosols on a chronic basis will cause significant cardiopulmonary disease. The data is stronger for short‐term (months to years) effects, with the majority coming from human studies of acute (minutes to hours) and sub‐acute (weeks to months) e‐cigarette use. There is no data on long‐term (years to decades) health effects in human subjects, because these devices have only been regularly used for the last several years; however, the data in animal models consistently demonstrate adverse effects on both cardiac and pulmonary physiology with long term exposures. Because of the multitude of e‐cigarette and vaping devices (cig‐a‐likes, vape pens, box Mods, pod devices, etc.) and the wide range of chemicals found within e‐liquids, of which there are thousands on the market, data across studies is difficult to compare. Further detailed studies are needed to better define the long‐term health effects of these popular devices, with an emphasis on defining the specific chemicals and devices associated with untoward physiologic effects.

Home /Health, Lifestyle/Click Bait: How To Lose Weight Through Positive Thinking!
An article posted in the Daily Star last month boasted that a few simple mindful eating tricks could help you lose weight, stating that many of us are mindlessly overeating.
So far I can completely relate, and the message seems to be a sensible one, be aware of what you're eating. So let's go through the article and find the truth in the clickbait.
According to the article, research published by Harvard Medical School has shown that mindfulness could be the key to long-term weight loss. The paper talks about the mind-gut connection, reminding us that hormonal signals from the gut and nervous system can take about 20 minutes to reach the brain to register satiety.
In other words, your brain can still think you're hungry for 20 minutes after you're actually full.
It goes on to suggest that eating while multitasking can stop digestion in a similar way to the fight or flight response, often resulting in the full nutritive value of our food not being digested.
Mindful eating strategies have been recommended to help treat eating disorders as well. Psychologist Jean Kristeller at Indiana State University and colleagues at Duke University conducted an NIH-funded study of mindful eating techniques for the treatment of binge eating.
Mindfulness-based therapy was found to help participants enjoy their food more and have less sense of struggle about controlling their eating.
Want to lose weight but can't find the willpower? These simple, mindful eating tricks can help you beat the bulge.
But despite the quick-fix style of journalism that's fairly typical for the Daily Star, there's plenty of truth in the research to suggest that mindful eating can actually help people.
The researchers listed 6 "tips" to help you introduce mindful eating into your daily routine, recommending eating one meal a day/week in this more attentive manner to get used to it.
Set your kitchen timer for 20 minutes, and take that time to eat a normal-sized meal.
Before opening the fridge or cabinet, take a breath and ask yourself, "Am I really hungry?" If not, then do something else, like reading or going on a short walk.
So this clickbait-style article seems to be fairly helpful. While it may gloss over some of the finer points and fail to address anything to do with the nutritional content of the food you're mindfully eating, it cites a valid study that could help us to break unconscious eating habits.
In other words, it's helpful but it's not the entire answer.
For advice and information about health and fitness that isn't clickbait, your best bet is working with a gay personal trainer. They can design a training and nutrition program to suit your individual needs, and be on hand to help coach you towards your goals. The next best thing is to subscribe to Gay Fitness UK on Apple News and Google News!

More pictures of the 2012 Mercedes C Class Coupe
I think it is quite elegant, if not original.
It'll probably "serve the brand well"… Adding customers to the popular C Class.
They're not looking to sell tons of these anyway.
I want to buy that Honda Accord Coupe.
Steve90041 says:
original accord coupe design lol
I think they're trying to figure out how to catch up to the 3-series.
I don't see the Accord coupe that anyone is talking about aside from the cut in the rear side glass.
Just an FYI for you idiots out there:
One design element does not equal a entire copy.
I'll replace my 2001 C320 with this.
My sincere condolences. LOL
Dav says:
"I think they're trying to figure out how to catch up to the 3-series"… and they're failing miserably.
It has the proportion and style of a Korean economy car… which is not altogether a bad thing if it were $22k. The current mediocre C-class is at the end of it's lifecycle and should be replaced, making this look old already.
There is no way that this will compete with the A5 or the 3 Series. I like Mercedes. But it's clear that they're putting all their effort in their top end halo cars.
fail. doesnt looks good.
Kaarman says:
It's the least-fugly Mercedes I've seen in some time. Congrats Sindlefingen!

Now I'm kind of stuck.

A: below configuration to correct dev debug.
 tomcat.javaoptions=-agentpath:"C:/jrebel/lib/jrebel64.dll"
tomcat.debugjavaoptions=-agentpath:"C:/jrebel/lib/jrebel64.dll" -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,address=8000,suspend=n -Dfile.encoding=UTF8

Change the path accordingly.

A: to work with JRebel rebel.xml is necessary, create this file:rebel.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<application xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://www.zeroturnaround.com"
             xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.zeroturnaround.com http://www.zeroturnaround.com/alderaan/rebel-2_0.xsd">

    <classpath>
        <dirset dir="${HYBRIS_BIN_DIR}/custom/test">
            <include name="**/classes"/>
            <!--Uncomment next line in case of exception '..java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.hybris.cockpitng.util.DefaultWidgetController...'
                when trying to access backoffice-->
            <!--<exclude name="**backoffice**"/>-->
        </dirset>
    </classpath>

</application>

Modify hybris
to start JRebel with hybris, one of the ways is to modify tomcat wrapper.conf
go to hybris/bin/platform/tomcat/conf
create wrapper-jrebel.conf: make copy of wrapper.conf and rename it to wrapper-jrebel.conf
insert there three lines
wrapper-jrebel.conf::::::::::::
wrapper.java.additional.20=-Drebel.base=C:\Users\test\.jrebel
wrapper.java.additional.21=-javaagent:C:\Users\test\.IdeaIC2018.1\config\plugins\jr-ide-idea\lib\jrebel6\jrebel.jar
wrapper.java.additional.22=-agentpath:C:\Users\test\.IdeaIC2018.1\config\plugins\jr-ide-idea\lib\jrebel6\lib\jrebel64.dll

create wrapper-jrebel-debug.conf: make copy of wrapper-debug.conf and rename it to wrapper-jrebel-debug.conf
insert there three lines
wrapper-jrebel-debug.conf
wrapper.java.additional.23=-Drebel.base=C:\Users\test\.jrebel
wrapper.java.additional.24=-javaagent:C:\Users\test\.IntelliJIdea2016.2\config\plugins\jr-ide-idea\lib\jrebel\jrebel.jar
wrapper.java.additional.25=-agentpath:C:\Users\test\.IntelliJIdea2016.2\config\plugins\jr-ide-idea\lib\jrebel6\lib\jrebel64.dll

modify hybrisserver.bat
to load JRebel separately insert there two blocks
hybrisserver.bat
IF  "%MODE%"=="jrebel" (
    SET _YWRAPPER_CONF=%~dp0tomcat/conf/wrapper-jrebel.conf
    SET MODE=run
)
IF "%1"=="jrebel_debug" (
    SET _YWRAPPER_CONF=%~dp0tomcat/conf/wrapper-jrebel-debug.conf
    SET MODE=run
)

to load JRebel as usual in debug mode insert there one block
hybrisserver.bat
IF "%1"=="debug" (
    SET _YWRAPPER_CONF=%~dp0tomcat/conf/wrapper-jrebel-debug.conf
    SET MODE=run
)

now run
jrebel
hybrisserver.bat jrebel

or
jrebel debug
