Shrimping areas in Louisiana are divided into inside waters, the outside territorial sea and the federal Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The line (shrimp line) as described in LA R.S. 56:495(A) that separates inside waters from outside territorial waters generally follows the coastline, although there are some exceptions. For specific boundary locations check with your local LDWF enforcement agent. Maps of the shrimp line are available at a charge of $10 per map by writing the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, Oyster Lease Survey Section, Post Office Box 98000, Baton Rouge, LA 70898-9000. Please specify which area of the coast you are interested in. The line that separates state territorial waters from the EEZ generally runs along the Louisiana coast three miles from shore. For specific boundary locations, particularly in the Grand Isle and Marsh Island area, you should contact your local LDWF Enforcement Agent.
For management purposes, both state inside and state outside territorial waters are divided into three shrimp management zones:
a. Zone 1 extends from the Louisiana/Mississippi state line to the eastern shore of South Pass of the Mississippi River.
b. Zone 2 extends from the eastern shore of South Pass of the Mississippi River to the western shore of Vermilion Bay and Southwest Pass at Marsh Island.
c. Zone 3 extends from the western shore of Vermilion Bay and Southwest Pass at Marsh Island to the Louisiana/Texas state line.
NOTE: Restricted areas exist within certain WMA, state and federal refuges and other areas. These areas may be closed to certain gear types or methods of fishing and different possession limits may apply. Consult your local Wildlife and Fisheries Office or enforcement agent or the WMA section of this pamphlet.
Shrimp seasons are flexible and are fixed by the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission based upon biological and technical data relative to shrimp populations in Louisiana waters. Generally, the spring inshore season will begin in early to mid May and may extend into July. The fall inshore season usually begins in early to mid August and extends into December. The shrimp season in Louisiana's territorial waters is generally open year-round EXCEPT for a closed season in portions of state outside waters which may be set during late fall to early winter, usually beginning in mid to late December and extending into March or April. The shrimp season in the federal waters of the Gulf outside (south) of Louisiana's territorial waters is usually open all year; these waters are controlled by the federal government. A federal shrimp vessel moratorium permit is required for all vessels fishing for shrimp in federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Information concerning federal shrimp vessel moratorium permits, Turtle Excluder Device (TED) and Bycatch Reduction Device (BRD) requirements and exemptions can be obtained by contacting the National Marine Fisheries Service, Southeast Regional Office, 263 13th Avenue South, Petersburg, FL 33701 at (727) 824-5312 or website at www.nmfs.noaa.gov.
There is no size limit on any saltwater shrimp taken during the spring open season nor is there any size limit on brown shrimp or seabobs taken during any open season in Louisiana. There is, however, a possession count on saltwater white shrimp taken in either inside or outside (offshore) waters of Louisiana of 100 count (whole shrimp per pound). This size restriction applies to the taking or possession of such shrimp aboard a vessel, EXCEPT during the period from Oct. 15 through the third Monday in December when there shall be no possession count on saltwater white shrimp taken or possessed. When more than 50 percent by weight of the saltwater shrimp taken or possessed is seabobs or brown shrimp, then the maximum allowable amount of undersized white shrimp taken or possessed shall not exceed 10 percent by weight of the total saltwater shrimp taken or possessed.
During open seasons, saltwater shrimp may be taken with trawls, butterfly nets, skimmer nets or cast nets and by no other means. Bait shrimp may be taken at any time, even during the closed season, with cast nets less than eight and one-half feet in radius, hand operated dip nets with a diameter not to exceed three feet, bait traps, and bait seines less than 30 feet with a maximum mesh size of 1/4 inch bar mesh which are manually operated on foot only. Trawls, butterfly nets or skimmer nets cannot be used for any purpose in state waters during closed season.
NOTE: Federal law requires that all shrimp trawlers with a power retrieval system must have approved Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) installed in each trawl except test nets with headrope lengths of 12 feet or less. Test nets with headrope lengths of 12 feet or less are limited by tow-time restrictions. Also, in federal waters, federal law requires shrimp trawlers to install approved Bycatch Reduction Devices (BRDs) in each trawl.
1. Trawls cannot have a mesh size less than 5/8 inch bar or one and one-fourth inches stretched. Trawls cannot have a mesh size less then 3/4 inch bar or one and one-half inches stretched during the fall inshore shrimp season for the area of Zone 2 from the western shore of Vermilion Bay and Southwest Pass at Marsh Island to the Atchafalaya River.
2. In inshore waters vessels may use one trawl measuring 50 feet or less in length along the corkline and 66 feet or less along the lead line; or two trawls which shall not exceed 25 feet each along the corkline, 33 feet or less along the lead line and have trawl doors no larger than 8 feet in length and 43 inches in height; or two trawls which shall not exceed 25 feet each along the corkline, 33 feet along the lead line and have no more than two outer trawl doors no larger than eight feet in length and 43 inches in height and no more than two inner sled doors, EXCEPT that each vessel may, in addition, pull a test trawl. In state outside territorial waters (from the beach to three miles offshore in most areas), each shrimping vessel may only use nets that do not exceed a total maximum per vessel of 130 feet of cork line and 165 feet of lead line, in addition to one test trawl.
3. In Breton and Chandeleur Sounds as described by the "double rig" line in LA R.S. 56:495.1(A)(2), two trawls may be used, each measuring 65 feet or less in length along the corkline and 82 feet or less in length along the lead line, plus one test trawl.
4. "Test trawl," as used in this section, means a trawl which is not more than 16 feet along the corkline or 20 feet along the lead line or head rope.
5. In federal offshore waters (EEZ), up to four trawls may be used of any size, plus one test trawl.
6. Trawling, skimming and butterflying is prohibited in Lake Maurepas and that portion of Lake Pontchartrain from the shoreline to 1 1/4 miles out from the Jefferson/Orleans Parish line east to South Point, from South Point to North Shore along the railroad bridge west from North Shore to Goose Point.
7. Trawling, skimming and butterflying is prohibited between the railroad bridge and Interstate 10 in Lake Pontchartrain.
8. No person shall trawl, seine or use a skimmer net over any privately leased bedding grounds or oyster propagating place which is staked off, marked or posted as required by law or regulation.
9. Trawling at night is prohibited in the Cameron Parish sections of Calcasieu Lake, the Black Bayou system, Grand Bayou and Little Burtons Ditch (all in the Calcasieu Lake area) and in Grand Lake and White Lake.
10. Use of skimmer nets is prohibited at night in Calcasieu Lake; however, skimmer nets may be used during day and night in all areas of Cameron Parish west of the western shore of Calcasieu Lake.
11. Trawling, skimming and butterflying at night is prohibited in Grand Lake and White Lake.
12. All commercial fishing with butterfly nets and trawls longer than 16 feet is prohibited in Lake Charles, Moss Lake and Prien Lake.
13. Night shrimping, between the hours of one-half hour after sunset to one-half hour before sunrise, is prohibited in Vermilion Bay, East and West Cote Blanche Bays and Atchafalaya Bay to the western shore of the Atchafalaya River and the Atchafalaya River Ship Channel out to Eugene Island as described by the inside-outside line in R.S. 56:495.
14. Trawls and butterfly nets are prohibited in the waters of Bayou Judge Perez (Bayou Hermitage) from its entrance into Lake Judge Perez (Lake Hermitage) to Devils Bayou, a distance of approximately one mile, located in Plaquemines Parish.
15. Trawling, skimming or butterflying north of the LA Highway 631 bridge at Des Allemands and in Lake Des Allemands, its streams and tributaries, is prohibited.
16. Taking shrimp with saltwater trawls from May 1-Sept. 15 each year is prohibited in state waters on the south side of Grand Isle from Caminada Pass to Barataria Pass in Jefferson Parish, from the southeast side of the Caminada bridge to the northwest side of Barataria Pass at Fort Livingston, extending from the beach side of Grand Isle to a distance of 500 feet beyond the shoreline into the Gulf of Mexico.
17. Trawling is prohibited in the cove immediately adjacent to Cypremont Point State Park landward of a line from Blue Point to Cypremort Point to the shoreline.
Butterfly and Skimmer Nets:
1. Butterfly and skimmer nets with a mesh size less than 5/8 inch bar or 1 1/4 inches stretched are prohibited. Butterfly and skimmer nets cannot have a mess size less than 3/4 inch bar or one and one-half inches stretched during the fall inshore shrimp season for the area of Zone 2 from the western shore of Vermilion Bay and Southwest Pass at Marsh Island to the Atchafalaya River.
2. A single stationary butterfly net measuring more than 22 feet vertically or horizontally, or double butterfly nets having individual nets measuring more than 12 feet vertically or horizontally are prohibited, unless double butterfly nets are used on a vessel, in which case each individual net can measure no more than 12 feet vertically by 16 feet horizontally. No person on a vessel shall use a double skimmer net having an individual net frame more than 16 feet measured horizontally or 12 feet measured vertically, or 20 feet measured diagonally, or with a lead line measuring more than 28 feet for each net. Reinforcement framing attached to the net frame shall not be considered in determining the dimensions of a double skimmer. A skimmer or butterfly net may be mounted no more then 24 inches from the side of the vessel. Individual nets cannot be tied together. Operation of butterfly and skimmer nets shall in no way impede normal navigation.
3. No person shall use sweeper devices, leads, extensions, wings or other attachments in conjunction with or attached to butterfly nets or skimmer nets.
4. No net or beam trawl used for taking fish or shrimp from the saltwater areas of the state shall be left unattended as defined in R.S. 56:8(102) except such legal nets or trawls which are attached to a wharf at a camp and which are tagged with an LDWF tag issued in conjunction with the gear being used.
5. Fishing with a butterfly net shall be prohibited in inside waters during the closed season.
6. No butterfly net or bottom net may be suspended from a piling, float, barge, raft, bridge or shore installation in the Rigolets or Chef Menteur Pass or in those portions of Lake Pontchartrain or Lake Borgne which are within two miles of the Rigolets or the Chef Menteur Pass. However, in the Chef Menteur Pass a properly licensed single butterfly net measuring not more than 22 feet by 22 feet may be suspended from a wharf which has been approved by the U.S. Corps of Engineers and which is attached to privately owned or leased immovable property, or to a structure that is not attached to privately owned or leased property if the owner has possessed a permit for such structure from the U.S. Corps of Engineers prior to 1988, provided that the owner or leaseholder is present on the immovable property or permitted structure at all times that the net is in the water.
7. Butterfly nets may be used for the taking of shrimp in Calcasieu Lake, Calcasieu River, Grand Bayou and Calcasieu Ship Channel, all within Cameron Parish only, in the daytime and in the nighttime, during open season.
8. All butterfly nets located in East and West Passes of the Calcasieu River, in Grand Bayou and in Oyster Bayou, all within Cameron Parish only, shall be tagged with a tag listing the fisherman's name, address and butterfly net license number. This tag shall be attached to the net, frame or any other structure or part directly attached to the net or frame in such a manner that it is above the water at all times. This tag shall be of readable size, easily visible and with letters at least three inches high and of appropriate width.
9. No person may operate a stationary shrimp net within 1,000 feet upstream from another stationary shrimp net that is attached to or moored to a wharf or platform permitted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. However, if two permitted wharves or platforms are located within 1,000 feet of each other, the owner of the upstream wharf or platform may attach a stationary shrimp net if any one of the following applies:
a. This permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was issued prior to Aug. 15, 2004.
b. His permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was issued prior to the permit for the downstream wharf or platform.
c. The owner of the downstream wharf or platform does not operate a stationary shrimp net.
10. A stationary shrimp net is any net for taking shrimp including butterfly or skimmer net that is attached to the water bottom, bank, or fixed structure.
11. When a butterfly net located in West or East Pass of the Calcasieu River, in Oyster Bayou or in Grand Bayou, all within Cameron Parish, is not being fished, all of the following shall apply:
a. Any object to which the net is attached or mounted solely for purposes of fishing, including but not limited to any unmanned boat or vessel, floating platform, pontoon or barge, shall be moved from the waterway and relocated adjacent to the shoreline in a manner which shall not present an obstruction or hazard to navigation.
b. Any anchor or weight used to secure in the waterway the net or any object to which it is attached or mounted solely for purposes of fishing, including but not limited to any unmanned boat or vessel, floating platform, pontoon or barge, shall be removed from the waterbottom.
c. Any rope, line, chain or other device used to connect to the shoreline the net and any object to which it is attached or mounted solely for purposes of fishing, including but not limited to any unmanned boat or vessel, floating platform, pontoon or barge, shall be prohibited. However, the prohibition expressed herein shall not apply when such rope, line, chain or other device is being used to secure, when not in use, such net and any object to which it is attached or mounted adjacent to the shoreline in a manner which shall not present an obstruction or hazard to navigation.
d. Any butterfly net, whether or not it is being fished, that is not marked for identification so that the person owning or responsible for such net can be identified shall be considered contraband. Any agent finding the contraband butterfly net shall immediately seize and take it into custody and may obtain from a judge of any court in the parish where the butterfly net was found an ex parte order forfeiting the contraband and ordering its destruction. An agent of the department or an authorized employee who seizes items as provided in this paragraph is immune from liability and from suit for seizure and destruction of a butterfly net.
Shrimper/Crab Trap Interaction: A shrimper who catches an unserviceable crab trap shall keep it on the vessel and properly dispose of it on shore. A shrimper that catches an otherwise serviceable trap without a float shall return it to the water with a common float. A common float is defined as an all-white plastic, one-gallon or larger bleach bottle.
Qualified permit holders in possession of a "special bait dealers permit" may take live bait shrimp during the closed season beginning May 1 of each year and between the spring and fall inshore shrimp seasons. The fee for this permit is $110 and the permit may be purchased any time between Jan. 1 - April 30 of each year. For more information concerning this permit, contact the Marine Fisheries Division.

Integrated Technologies
Plutonite® Lens
One of the most optically pure materials used in eyewear today, it maximizes clarity and impact resistance while filtering out 100% of all UVA, UVB, UVC and harmful blue light up to 400nm. Not a coating, the UV protection is from the lens material itself.
High Definition Optics®
High Definition Optics® (HDO®) is a collection of patented technologies that allow Oakley eyewear to meet or exceed the testing standards of the American National Standards Institute for optical clarity, visual fidelity, and impact resistance.
Impact Protection
Backed by decades of innovation, Oakley performance eyewear offers uncompromising protection against high-velocity and high-mass impact. The protection is a benefit of the premium materials and unique architectures of Oakley lens/frame combinations.
UV Protection
Eye damage attributed to ultraviolet light includes cataracts, pterygium and macular degeneration. Our Plutonite® lens material filters out 100% of all UVA, UVB, UVC and harmful blue light up to 400nm. The protection is from the lens material itself.
Three-Point Fit
A patented innovation that ensures the frame makes contact only at the bridge of the nose and the sides of the head. It holds lenses in precise optical alignment with a secure fit that eliminates the pressure points common with frames that hook the ears.
A stress-resistant frame material that withstands environmental extremes, it is lightweight yet highly durable. Controlled flexibility enhances impact resistance while contributing to the all-day comfort of frames made with this innovative synthetic.
Designed to balance light transmission and reduce glare, this premium lens coating is made with superheated metal oxides. It is available in a spectrum of colors for optimizing vision in virtually any light condition.

Shares of online music purveyors Pandora Media (P)are up $1.22, or 6%, at $21.07, after Goldman Sachs's Heath Terry raised his rating on the stock to Buy from Neutral, with a $27 price target, writing that the company's monetization is showing improving trends, and worries about competition from Apple (AAPL) and others seem pretty much baked into the stock at this point.
Pandora's "revenue per thousand listener hours," or "RPM," the money it gets on free, ad-supported listening of tracks on its service, has now picked up speed for three quarters in a row, he notes:
Advertising RPM has accelerated for three consecutive quarters. Pandora's advertising RPM, or its mobile ad revenue per thousand hours of listening, has seen accelerating growth for three consecutive quarters. We believe this is very significant in that the growth in mobile ad RPM is arguably one of the biggest points of contention for investors on Pandora. Mobile advertising RPMs, which have typically been about one third the level of desktop RPMs, are now approaching one half the level of desktop RPMs. The discrepancy between the two has mostly been driven by lower inventory sell-through rates rather than pricing. We believe, however, that with advertisers gaining a better familiarity with mobile ad buying coupled with Pandora's growing sales force and integration with the big three radio ad buying platforms, that gap will continue to narrow at an accelerating pace. As Pandora's mobile listener hours approach 80% of total listener hours, the increase in mobile ad RPM could be the most influential factor in Pandora's path towards sustained profitability.
That acceleration in RPM is important, he writes, because for the first time it allowed the company to see revenue growth outpace content buying costs in the fiscal Q1 that ended in April:
Pandora's advertising revenue growth surpassed the rate of content acquisition cost growth for the first time in 1Q14; a milestone that we believe was somewhat overlooked by investors. As sustained profitability remains the biggest bear case argument around the stock, we believe this inflection is significant. As Pandora's most substantial cost line, content acquisition, is variable and set to increase every year through 2015, the only way for the company to reach sustained profitability is to grow RPM faster than content acquisition cost per hour. 1Q14 provided validation that this was, in fact, possible and that the business model could be viable after 2015, even assuming Pandora is not the recipient of a more favorable royalty cost structure following its renegotiation with SoundExchange in 2015.
Paying subscribers are also bringing in revenue at an accelerating pace, he writes:
Pandora's subscription revenue has accelerated for three consecutive quarters, from 36.5% growth in 2Q13, to 52.4% growth in 3Q13, 73.7% growth in 4Q13, and 99.9% growth in 1Q14. The initial re-acceleration in 3Q13 and 4Q13 was driven by increased marketing efforts around the product, and the seamless ability to upgrade to Pandora One on iTunes and Google Play (which started in 3Q13).
Terry expects these trends to help the company beat estimates starting in the quarter that ended last month. He models $158.8 million in revenue last quarter and 6 cents a share in non-GAAP EPS, which is higher than the Street consensus for $156 million and 2 cents a share.
For fiscal '14, Terry raised his estimate to $635 million and 20 cents a share from a prior $630 million and 2 cents. That is also higher than the consensus of $633 million and 4 cents a share.
Terry thinks the stock has seen the last of the ominous headlines touting competition from Apple or startups such as Spotify:
We believe most significant competitive headline risks have subsided. Since going public in mid-2011, Pandora has sold off by 10% or more on 10 different trading days. Of those 10 days, 7 of them were the result of news or speculation around emerging competitive risks, with the most recent 4 major sell-offs around Apple's iTunes Radio. Now that we have moved past both the announcement of iTunes Radio and debut of Spotify's Internet radio service, and with no meaningful impact to Pandora's growth trajectory, we believe the potential for major competitive headline risks has largely diminished.

I wanted "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" to be good, and I was willing to overlook certain things.
As far as I was concerned, the "Joes" didn't have to reload their weapons, unless they were in a shoot-out and running out of ammunition made the scene more interesting.
They didn't need to explain how they got from one corner of the globe to another in a fraction of the time it takes to get through a TSA security screening at the airport.
And they didn't need reasonable explanations for ending up at exactly the right place at exactly the right time to save or lose the day, depending on what the plot required at the time.
The movie is brought to you by toy maker Hasbro, so have fun with it, I say.
One problem: There isn't a bunch of fun to be found.
Dwayne Johnson plays Roadblock, who leads the Joes against the evil forces of Cobra. Roadblock's team is ambushed and it has something to do with the president of the United States (Jonathan Pryce).
The president disavows the Joes, and allows Cobra to infiltrate every level of his security team. That seems odd because in the last movie, "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra," the Eiffel Tower and other parts of Paris were destroyed by a Cobra plot.
Again, I don't want to attack "Retaliation" for being stupid, because it's supposed to be stupid, but I think the filmmakers could've tried harder.
I imagine the problem is most of the creative energy went into choreographing fight scenes. If the Academy Awards recognized a best fight scene, the exceptionally cool mountain battle pitting Snake Eyes (Ray Park) and Jinx (Elodie Yung) against a Cobra horde would be an early contender.
On another positive note, Bruce Willis shows up as Gen. Joe Colton and delivers some nice one-liners. The best one appeared in the movie's trailer, but it's still funny in the movie.
I don't know, folks. I had low expectations and was hoping to be rewarded with a good, brainless time at the movies. On the plus side, they got the brainless part mostly right.
I give "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" a D plus.
It's showing at Malcos in Tupelo, Oxford, Corinth and Columbus, as well as Hollywood Premier Cinemas in Starkville and Movie Reel 4 in New Albany.
Look for movie reviews in Scene on Thursdays, and listen each Tuesday morning on Wizard 106.7 between 8:30 and 8:45 a.m.
Kelli Karlson Wizard 106.7
She gives a B plus
"I had a blast."
Roadkill Bill Wizard 106.7
He gives a B.
"I had a bunch of fun because a bunch of stuff exploded."

Chairman William Thomas
Ranking Member Charles Rangel
House Ways and Means Committee
1102 Longworth House Office Building
Washington, District of Columbia 20515
Dear Congressmen Thomas and Rangel,
As president of the National Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA), I am writing to share with you our serious concern regarding a tax revenue offset proposal in the Senate's Substitute Amendment 605 to the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act of 2005 (SAFETEA) and to ask you to remove this taxpayer-hostile provision during conference committee negotiations.
Please allow me to start with a brief primer on enrolled agents (EAs). EAs are federally-authorized tax practitioners who have technical expertise in the field of taxation and are licensed by the Treasury Department to represent taxpayers before all administrative levels of the Internal Revenue Service for audits, collections, and appeals. The principal concern of NAEA and its members is honest, intelligent, and ethical representation of the financial position of taxpayers before government agencies. Our members belong to a strong network of experienced, well-trained tax professionals who effectively represent their clients while working to ensure the tax code is reasonably and fairly enforced.
Moving to the point of the letter, one of the SAFETEA revenue offset proposals would require a significant change to IRS' offer-in-compromise (OIC) program. More specifically, the proposal would require a taxpayer to remit either a 20% down payment with any lump sum offer or to make regular payments of proposed OIC installment payments. Should IRS reject any offer, the agency would retain any monies that a taxpayer submits with his/her offer. While the proposal would repeal the $150 OIC user fee, reduce IRS' time to accept an offer from 24 to 12 months (starting in 2010), and create a task force to review the entire offer program, these benefits—such as they are—are far outweighed by the so-called 'good faith' provisions of the proposal.
While enrolled agents have many concerns with the OIC program in general, I will limit my few detailed comments to the proposal at hand. The entire NAEA board of directors and I discussed this proposal at our board meeting earlier this month and we unanimously arrived at the same conclusion—the proposal is a very bad idea and very bad tax policy.
What is further discouraging is that we have long expressed our shared interest in improving offers. We believe, however, that using the OIC program as a revenue raiser is among the least taxpayer friendly ways to get there and will, in fact, adversely affect an already onerous process for compromising tax liabilities. And personally, I cannot understand this provision, which I believe will reduce significantly the number of offers submitted to IRS, will generate the 10-year dollars that the Senate bill claims it will.
Please understand that there is no group of people more interested in taxpayers paying their fair shares. As a result, members do not like the idea of people abusing the OIC program by using it as a 'get out of taxes free' card. At the same time, we understand that life is sometimes very messy and that people who make mistakes must to have a way to get themselves back on track.
Unfortunately, the transportation bill that the Senate passed on Thursday includes this taxpayer-hostile OIC provision. On behalf of 40,000 EAs nationwide, I ask the two of you to work to remove the OIC pay-for in conference. NAEA stands ready to assist you in coming up with more pro-taxpayer solutions to the OIC program.

Boredom in New York is usually the bored's own fault. The city is crammed so full of parties, shows and events one runs into something just walking around. This makes for a slanted and somewhat jaded worldview where 'fun' gets taken for granted and something like the New York State Fair barely registers, what with agriculture and animal husbandry taking a backseat to nubile youth getting wasted in various states of dress. It's easy to forget State Fairs in other states, particularly those in the Midwest, are a genuine big deal. The Iowa State fair is one of the grandest of all, with history and traditions stretching back to the turn of the century.
Visiting the fairgrounds for the first time, I asked a friend what the grounds were used for the rest of the year. He said not much really, the occasional 4-H show, but mostly the fairgrounds were just used for the fair. Wait, said I, not grasping this concept in the least, this large parcel of land with all these decorative brick buildings…just sits empty the rest of the year? Indeed, the friend said. And all the buildings are only in use the two weeks of the Iowa State Fair? Yep. As someone coming from a tiny island so crammed a closet will cost you $800 a month, this made my head explode.
To give you an idea of the fair's history and general layout, this short film depicts the Iowa State Fair in the 1940s (via MST3K, hooray). The majority of the buildings seen are still in use to this day, and the fish tanks have been designated a historical area (an historical area?).
As can be seen, the fair is an enormous sprawling event reaching into every aspect of Iowan life: agriculture, health, family, religion, art, and local culture. As such I've broken up my coverage into separate subjects for easier consumption. Today's topic- Food!
Meet food mascot Mr. Oinkers!
"Hi Kids! I'll eat your soul!"
Oh, you kidder. Mr. Oinkers is one of many friendly fellows waiting to greet you at the kiosks!
"Eaaaaaat youuuuuur souuuuuuuuulll…."
Right! On to the food! You can't take a step in any direction at the fair without seeing something edible and artery-clogging. For an agricultural fair, there were surprisingly few fresh fruits and vegetables available and those that were came dunked in batter. Generally food choices fell into one of two categories, with generous overlap between each: deep fried or sugar-coated.
Case in point.
Fried stuff in two sizes: plate- or tub-full.
The teenager working the deep-fryer plucked this guy out of the vat and plopped it on the plate without pause. As it oozed out a puddle of grease I vainly attempted to ask for at least a lift n' shake to disperse some of it, but before I could even get the sentence half out he dumped a cup of powdered sugar on top. My friend and I agreed the sugar-grease absorption definitely made this the best damn funnel cake we'd ever eaten.
Normally, vegetarians traveling through the Midwest are out of luck. Vegetarianism in the flyover states is still mostly a foreign concept; the last time I stepped into Pizza Ranch (a local pizza buffet*) all the pies had meat on them, and asking for a vegetarian slice I was brought a pie with a half ton of olives dumped on top. Walking into the Fair and seeing people tearing at comically huge drumsticks Medieval Times-style, I figured here was more of the same. But lo! Shining on the main midway sat….
The Veggie Table! The shock of seeing a booth entirely dedicated to vegetarian fare at the State Fair knocked me for a considerable loop. Keep in mind this is a place where more than one booth told me God knows babies in utero and evolution is a liberal conspiracy. (See that girl in the foreground? Exactly the face I made too).
Bad pun name and Led Zepplin-inspired logo aside, The Veggie Table had a long line throughout the day for good reason: their veggie corn dog was perfectly crisp and squishy with a delicious toasted corn flavor, and their other offerings (including Portabello Mushroom Strips and Broccoli Cheddar Bites) looked equally tasty.
Another relatively inexpensive option for vegetarians (sorry vegans, you are way out of your league here): Nachos! If there's one thing working in the cheapskate's favor in the Midwest, it's portion size. These weren't even Grande!
After. Elapsed time: 2 minutes.
A word of explanation – as opposed to the East Coast, where pizza by the slice is as natural as breathing, pizza in many Midwestern states comes whole-pie or no dice, or is served buffet-style (*see Pizza Ranch. Yes, there are pizza buffets and yes, they are usually western-themed). Pizza by the slice is a novel concept in Iowa, hence the beatific glow around the slice above.
Another culture shock- condiments. You think you like condiments? You do not like them as much as Midwesterners.
Mayonnaise is a birthright here. All this stuff is from Heinz and only one of each were mustard and ketchup.
Food on a stick has become a part of State Fair culture- each year more and increasingly ridiculous food items are perched atop a dowel and served to the public. Reportedly beer on a stick was sold last year, but I didn't see it this time around. However, I did see this stuff:
The classic corn dog, combining fried and meatstuffs on one convenient pole:
Proto-corn dogs are just hot dogs on a stick. Hot dogs on a stick look sort of sad.
Mmm, lookit that grease fly!
The Corn Dog in all its glory!
Chicken on a Stick,
Rice Krispy treat on a stick,
Some substance called Cheeze on a stick,
Meatballs on a Stick might sound like a good idea…
…but trust me, you do not want them.
Uh, some sort of German pastry on a stick,
Courtesy of the Iowa Egg Council, egg on a stick,
Deep Fried pineapple on a stick…really? Did it need to be deep fried? It did? Whatever.
Aaaaand Snickers on a stick.
I also read about but did not get a chance to experience salad on a stick and frozen twinkies on a stick.
There were a few other Fair staples that might need a bit of explanation- a number of kiosks sold something called 'Walking Tacos'. Tacos are pretty portable already, so I asked my friend what made these particular tacos conducive to perambulation. By way of definition:
Walking Tacos: basically chili dumped into a bag of corn chips whether it be Doritos or Fritos and eaten out of the bag with a spoon or a fork.
Also regional- Shake-Ups. They're just lemonade with a big half a lemon sitting in it. The name comes from squeezing the fresh lemon into the drink and, yep, shaking it up. It does add a bright flavor to the beverage, making it taste fresher.
Coming up next: People!

You don't remember how much that Funnel Cake cost, do you? Getting married in August and offering to buy friends and family a Funnel Cake at the fair instead of wedding cake but i am wondering if it will break the bank!

Chiles and salsa spike a hoagie that's packed with veggies and cheese.
Use hoagie buns or other buns with a firm, crusty outside. This filling is moist, so soft breads, such as hot dog buns, aren't the best choice.
These sandwiches are packed with enough veggies to count as a serving of vegetables. Use reduced-fat mayonnaise and reduced-fat cheese to trim the fat to 11 grams and the calories to 380 per sandwich.
Savor the heat of Southwest cooking. Use a little more jalapeño chile, and add a hot shot by using medium or hot salsa.

Last Month, Louise showed us some Ugg Booties she'd made as samples for Have You Any Wool? A link to the pattern can be found here.
Aren't these just the cutest? (I'll add a picture as soon as Louise sends it, so you can nod in agreement!)
Think you can't knit booties because you don't know how to knit socks or use double-points?
These booties are knitted flat with a seam along the sole and up the back. Directions are clear and easy to follow.
Baby Uggs are made in Berroco Suede and Plush. Christmas booties are a sparkly red yarn (Night, maybe?) with tops made in Plush. A pair of booties takes about 200 yards of yarn.
Guild meets the second Tuesday of each month, September through May, from 7-9 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

The hotel is located almost at the end of Lamai s main street. The hotel is located right on the beach and the hotel have their own sunbeds for hotel guests. It is walking distance to Lamai center where there is everything you need as a tourist. We were four persons and had a family room with a double bed and two single beds. The room is large enough but is in need of freshening. The hotel staff at the front desk are pleasant but passive. The breakfast was OK but could be better.

Wir waren vom22.02-10.03.2015 in diesem Hotel. Das einzige durch das dieses Hotel punkten konnte waren , die gute Lage ,der gepflegte Garten mit Pool und ausreichend Liegen. Die Zimmer,wir hatten Deluxe Seaview, waren okay. Gross und einen schönen Balkon. Das Bad war okay nur gab es an einigen Tagen abends kein warmes Wasser.Die Zimmer leicht abgewohnt aber das ist auch dem Klima geschuldet, und wer des öfteren in Asien Urlaub macht kennt das ja. Frühstück ging gar nicht. Total lieblos angerichtet. ab 09 uhr gab es Butter nur noch in flüssigen Zustand, da man sie ja auch in die Sonne neben dem Toaster stellen muss. wir haben 2 Tage im Hotel gefrühstückt danach nur noch außerhalb. Zu empfehlen Cafe 77 oder we will wait Restaurant. Alles in allem ist das Aloha Resort nur auf Grund Seiner Lage zu empfehlen, aber dafür ist es zu teuer. Über das Personal möchte ich mich nicht weiter aüßern ,nur soviel, die einzigsten die immmer nett und freundlich waren, sind die Reinigungskräfte

Accommodation and facilities:
We booked the family suite and after paying our deposit we were told it was unavailable so instead we had to book Grand Deluxe Suite, Seaview (2 Pax) & 1 Grand Deluxe, Sea view. We booked these because they were next to each other so our children would be close to us (they are 13 & 7 years old) ( This cost nearly double what we had budgeted for accommodation). Ordinarily I would have cancelled the booking and requested a refund but with 9 other family members staying at the resort we wanted to stay together. The rooms were ok, my husband and I had a lot of problems with our room. First night a fuse blew and we lost power, they moved us to another room overnight and I requested a refund for that nights accommodation and only received a cheap fruit platter. Once that was fixed the next day we packed up and moved back to our original room however we had a lot of problems with the door, it was very hard to open from the inside, often I thought we were going to pull the handle off and be locked in. I requested it to be repaired several times and nothing happened. The pool only had opening hours of 8am - 6pm. In a tropical climate that was pretty annoying when you go out sightseeing all day and want to have a swim when you get back you can t because the pool is closed. On a positive note, our cleaning lady was wonderful, very helpful and friendly.

Sawasdee Krub... Sawasdee Bee Mai.. my family has just finished our stay with you and are now back home. It was a fantastic holiday, and we had a great time with you. Your staff were all so happy, friendly and helpful. They got to know us, and got on so well with our children… at some stages our 2yr old son wasn't happy, so one of the lady waitresses took him for a walk and looked at the fish… he loved it…. and we loved to see your staff doing that.. Every day they called us by our names, especially the kids… it was very nice of them. Even when our crazy friends left their passports in your safe and only realised when we were at the airport to fly home... my wife rang your reception to ask for help and get them driven to the airport, which we thought would be very hard to do being Songkran... but, your staff prevailed and our friends made the flight... well done to your team.. that was just awesome.... I m sure my friends will be thanking you... but I wish to thank your team very much…. it was a champion effort by your man who did this. Like I said, it was a super holiday, and without your staff it wouldn't have been anywhere near as good. There are some things though that we feel let the resort down a little bit though... please don't take these as criticism... but simply feedback on how things could be improved. It would be great to have ceiling fans in the dining area, it was often uncomfortable to eat in the area due to it being so hot even early in the mornings… and also in the bedrooms... constant exposure to air con in the rooms has made a couple of us sick, ceiling fans would be great there. The fruits served for breakfast need to be kept cold, they are not nice when eaten warm…the plates of fruit were just on the bench where it was hot and sunlight came in. The breads and cereals etc. should be moved away from the direct sun coming through the window, it made them go stale quickly. The hot food was often cold or luke warm as I think the bain maries weren't set up properly to keep the food hot.. occasionally it was, but most of the time it wasn't... this can lead to stomach disorders like diahorrea which I did experience. Good coffee is hard to find in all of Samui...it would be great if you maybe had a couple of Nespresso machines to make proper Latte or Cappuccino coffee.. not expensive to buy... with the buffet breakfast, the juices were not real juice.. they were some kind of syrup with water... nice juice would be good The pool wasn't cleaned whilst we were there..not that we saw anyway.. there was always sand in there, which is hard to avoid next to the beach, but we never saw it being vacuumed... and there was always algae on the tiles and even underwater on the light fittings... so it was in need of chlorine and algae treatment to be put in the water.. In the rooms, it was mostly great.. the inability of having 2 keys was very problematic though... the room could not be kept cool all day, due to only one key and having to take it with you when you go out, thus the room got terribly hot again... plus, if one person went out, then other family went out, only one key meant that someone couldn't get back in the room until the next person came back with the key. The air-conditioning vents in the room had mould and algae in them and were constantly dripping water and had a very bad smell similar to drain pipes.... this can cause diseases. A larger fridge should be made available in the rooms too... especially for family rooms, but also anyone else….. many children will not eat Thai food, even some adults, and there is a real need to have other foods available, and kept cold… bottles of milk, bottles of water, juices, cold fruits and the like.. so that they can be fed during the day or night etc... and those little fridges do not hold many items at all. That is the end of my suggestions. Most of them are very important to western people and Europeans as well. It could deter us from coming back to stay with you again, as we hadn't experienced it other parts of Lamai when have stayed 5 other times. Once again, thanks for the major part of our stay being fantastic with you… it is just these points that I think will make your resort so much better to stay at. Kob Kuhn Krub, Jer Gan Mai Darren

Sexy & Cute Bikini Cut Panties
Bikini panties have moderate front and rear coverage and thin hip connectors. Bikinis are designed to stay put on your body with limited visibility under most clothing. Bits of Lace provide a wide variety of bikinis, including classics and seasonal fashions. They are the most widely worn style of panty and most known. Always feminine and very sexy these panties are a must have for any woman.
While panties can come in many types such as boyshorts or a full brief, the bikini panty is the true example of style, luxury and class. These panties sit at hip level and have a very narrow hip line. The rear design of the panty is not too revealing or uncomfortable. The front coverage is also moderate and allows for a great middle ground of function and style. It is the most widely worn panty among women worldwide and is highly regarded in fashion and pop culture. They come in many variations and fabric templates, ranging all the way from lace to floral embroidery and sometimes even other fabric types. They are always constructed with a breathable material for increased comfort. There are also many interpretations on its basic design which can include tank top sets and string bikini, which only have a string that ride around the hip. Bikini underwear can be any combination of tight, skimpy or revealing undergarment when compared to the basic brief. Most of the styles sit below the natural waist line, which is what gives them such great appeal. They come in both classic (black or white) or seasonal schemes. The inclusion of bikini style panties came soon after the invention of the miniskirt, which required its wearers to be almost indifferent to the potential for the exposure of the panty itself. This fueled the fire and soon bikini panties were the norm.
This type of panty complements the female form and is often paired with other matching colors or fine lingerie to complete a set. While some women prefer more reserved underwear, bikini panties are slowly becoming the mainstay of female undergarments. A bikini panty is almost always paired with a bra counterpart for the ultimate effect in sex appeal. A must have for all women it can offer comfort, sex appeal, and a feminine look all in one.

Samsung Predicted to Widen Smartphone Market Lead over Apple in 2013
Shane McGlaun

...Assuming Apple doesn't rollout an iPhone mini
Research firm Strategy Analytics has stated that it expects Samsung to widen the lead in the smartphone market over Apple during 2013. The research firm predicts Samsung will see 35% growth this year helped in part by a wider product line. The research firm also believes that to help counter the increased competition by Samsung that Apple might launch a smaller and cheaper "iPhone mini" next year.
A smaller-screened iPhone has been rumored for a number of years, but has never come to fruition. Apple addresses the "cheaper" bullet point by discounting previous generation iPhone models to selling alongside the current generation model. For example, the previous generation iPhone 4S is priced at $99 with a two-year contract, while the iPhone 4 is available for free with a two-year contract. The current generation iPhone 5 starts at $199.
However, with Apple finally rolling out a smaller
iPad mini
that has seen significant sales success, the market may be right for Apple to bring a pint-sized iPhone to the market.
The analytics firm believes that globally smartphone shipments will increase 27% during 2013 to 875,000,000 units. While 27% growth is a brisk pace, it is a significant decline from the 41% growth the smartphone market saw in 2012. Strategy Analytics blames slowing growth in North America, China, Asia, and Western Europe.
The research firm predicts that Samsung will sell 290 million smartphones in 2013, which is a significant increase from the estimated 215 million smartphones Samsung sold in 2012. It should be noted, however, that Samsung's own internal numbers suggest that it will sell a
more substantial 390 million smartphones for the year
Apple is predicted to sell 180 million smartphones in 2013 for 33% increase from its 2012 sales numbers. If the research firm's predictions come true Samsung will hold 33% of the smartphone market with Apple a bit behind at 21%.

Hello, folks!
I've got a dillema here. I've started to learn game development, more specificaly -- OpenGL. My GPU supports OpenGL only up to 3.1 version, so drivers on Linux isn't the problem here. The problem is, that most of the companies create games or game engines only for Windows or OS X, so I thought an experience in working with Windows would be good. But... I'm a total Linux lover and after installing Windows... I just hate them and I very much miss Linux. I've been thinking a lot, but if I stay with Windows, I'll have more pros. I look forward for any opinion on what should I do, what are the advantages on staying with Windows, or working on Linux etc.

Attacks on press in Venezuela expand online
Online penetration in Venezuela has increased in recent years, with 40 percent of its population online, according to the International Telecommunication Union. A significant amount of activity takes place on Twitter, where Venezuela has the highest penetration in the region after Uruguay, according to local research company Tendencias Digitales. President Hugo Chávez Frías, who has more than three million followers on Twitter, uses the platform regularly to convey official news--as he did on Tuesday when a raging fire at an oil refinery was extinguished, leaving 48 people dead, according to a report on EFE.

Chili oil, chili paste and garlic give this Asian recipe a spicy boost!
Uncooked shrimp in the shell, often referred to as "green shrimp", should smell fresh with no "fishy" aroma.
To save time, pick up a package of coleslaw mix in the produce section. Use 3 cups coleslaw mix instead of the 1/2 head cabbage.
Garnish plates with Green Onion Brushes. To make, cut each green onion 2 inches above root; slice off end of root. From root end, make 2 or 3 cuts into onion. Make 2 or 3 more cuts at a right angle to first cuts. Place in ice water until flower opens up.

- Description
DetailsThis is an amazing machine. A bike that delivers fitness results faster for any environment and for any user. For those who have never ridden a bike before and those preparing for the Olympics, one bike does it all.
- ONE BIKE DOES IT ALL: The Cybex 625 series bikes provide distinct and compelling ways to improve your members fitness experience, whether they choose the 625C to train for a triathlon, or the 625R as they begin their journey to better fitness.
- CLEAR CONTROLS WITH GREAT ENTERTAINMENT: Cybex bikes combine contemporary design with exceptional reliability and extraordinary usability. From their stunning good looks to hidden details like its self-tensioning drive, these bikes are destined to invite users of all capabilities and will keep performing for the long run. The console is designed around ease of use with clear centralized controls and the optional wireless receiver adds seamless entertainment.
- BEGINNER TO OLYMPIAN: The lowest starting level and the highest resistance. For those who have never ridden a bike before and those who are preparing for the Olympics, the Cybex 625R is the perfect piece of equipment to train on. The most deconditioned user or rehab patient can use it safely because of the low power input requirement (20 Watts) and... it goes up to 900 Watts (to make a grown man cry). This is all possible because of the Cybex self-tensioning drive. Belt tension is important because a lot of belt tension is needed to create a high power training tool. But... belt tension creates drag... and drag can drive up heart rate for beginning cyclists. The answer is the Cybex self-tensioning drive.
- RUGGED DURABILITY: For low maintenance. With a welded frame made from forged steel, the Cybex 625 bikes have a three-piece heavy-duty mountain bike crank that makes them durable enough for rugged mountain terrain. In a gym setting, this construction translates to low maintenance. Cybex engineers even designed the enclosures so that sweat is directed away from the bike mechanism.
- PEDAL DESIGN: Extra wide double sided pedal design accommodates any size foot. The easy to adjust pull strap buckle closure gives users the comfort they seek.
- RESISTANCE RANGE: The 625R's wide range of resistance (from 20 to 900 watts) can create a challenging or modest exercise experience. 20 Watts is much lower than most other bikes on the market and is important for de-conditioned users. 900 watts "can make a grown man cry" - quote from a veteran cyclist.
- HANDLEBARS: Multi-positioned handlebars promote a comfortable hand position with heart rate grips where they are most convenient.
- CUSTOM COLORS: Why stick with silver grey when you can choose from any of our five standard colors (white, black, platinum sparkle, metaltone gold, black chrome)? Or ... select from over 180 custom colors to match any decor. Only Cybex offers color customization in cardiovascular and strength equipment.
- SEAT ENGINEERING: A Cybex proprietary seat was designed by cyclists to provide comfort for the long ride. You need 3 things: as much surface area as possible for support in the proper areas - while allowing full range of leg motion - while being kind to between the legs - and only Cybex has it. On a Cybex bike riders really can work up a sweat so the seat back is designed with holes for optimized ventilation to keep you cool on any length of ride.
- FRONT WHEELS: Because bikes are more mobile than many other exercise machines, they don't stay in the same place all the time. The 625 cycles have wheels on the front for easy rolling so they can be moved around.
- SINGLE STAGE DRIVE: The self-tensioning single-stage drive and hybrid eddy-current self-generating brake provides high torque capabilities with exceptionally low drag to provide an exceptionally broad resistance range of 20 to 900 watts with superbly smooth operation.
- Resistance Range: Minimum - 20 Watts; Maximum - 900 Watts
- Modes of Operation: Modes of operation include Constant Power and Bike Mode
- Resistance Type: hybrid eddy current brake with brushless internal generator for low drag and high power capability
- Dimensions: (L x W x H): 65 x 25 x 52 in; 165 x 63.5 x 132 cm
- Machine Weight: 183 lb. (83 kg)
- Power: Self-powered, optional AC adapter for full time display
- Max User Weight: 400 lbs. (181 kg)
- Compliance: FCC Class B, ETL listed to UL 1647, ASTM, CSA, EN 957, CE - Low Voltage, EMC and RoHS Directives
- Display: 8x15 amber LED bar graph matrix, seven segment LED modules, and LED enunciator bar
- Connectivity: Heart Rate Monitoring: Includes Contact and Wireless capability (chest strap not included). Multi-color heart shaped LED provides color coded feedback of heart rate.
- Colors: Grey shrouds with choice of five standard (white, black, platinum sparkle, metaltone gold, black chrome) colors and a virtually unlimited variety of custom colors
- Languages: 7 languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Russian, Swedish)
- Convenience features: Magazine rack, dual water bottle holders, and utility tray

Baydog, I have been the test marshal at a few hunt tests where dogs were dropped and the handlers wanted to speak to the judges as to the reasons why. The handlers often disagreed with the judge's decision. Isn't that the same thing as you're saying happens in field trials? Any event from football games to bbq cook-offs can be swayed by the "human" component.

Interview: "We need support… perhaps for the next five years."
More than 600,000 Syrians have sought refuge in Lebanon since the start of the Syria crisis in 2011. By the end of the year, Syrian refugees could make up an estimated 20 per cent of Lebanon's entire population, says Humanitarian Coordinator Robert Watkins.
Mr. Watkins, who oversees the work of the UN agencies and humanitarian organizations assisting refugees and host communities affected by the crisis, talks about the serious humanitarian consequences of the Syria crisis for Lebanon and the region.
Q: What is the impact of the Syria crisis on Lebanon and the region?
A: There are so many concerns and it is hard to know where to start. We are obviously concerned that we will not be able to meet the needs of the ever-growing refugee population in Lebanon. It is growing at a faster rate than our ability to provide assistance and that's the immediate over-arching concern.
Within that, there are specific concerns such as health and shelter issues. In the summer, we are very concerned about the spread of water-borne diseases because of the lack of sanitation and hygiene in many of these settlements for refugees, which have risen quite spontaneously.
1.7 million
34 per cent
75 per cent
50 per cent
> 1,200 areas
1.2 million
1.2 million
In the early stages of the humanitarian operation, UNHCR (the UN Refugee Agency) was able to find accommodation for people. Initially, most were hosted by Lebanese families but that is gradually diminishing, as host communities are increasingly unable to cope with the growing numbers of refugees. UNHCR then started rehabilitating or renting public buildings. Now we are seeing the proliferation of settlements where people are living in very rudimentary tents.
We are concerned about the Government's ability to cope with this crisis. Its resources and capacity are over-stretched trying to deliver services to the refugee communities. Having about 580,000 refugees in their home is adding a huge stress on the economy here. The countries in the region are joined politically, economically and historically so when one is in trouble, it affects the others.
Q: How are the international and humanitarian communities helping Governments in the region cope with the crisis?
The UN system has been able to mobilize huge support from donors. On one hand, this is very encouraging, but on the other hand; it can't go on forever.
There has been great financial support from donors but many of them are coming under a great deal of stress now, because of the global financial situation and because the demands of the crisis have become so large with no apparent end in sight. We need support, not just for the rest of the year, but perhaps for the next five years. Even if the crisis were to end tomorrow, the consequences will be deep and long- lasting inside and outside Syria.
In Lebanon, we know that the majority of Syrian refugees want to return home, but we also know that the longer the conflict goes on, the more time it will take for the conditions to be in place to allow the refugees to return home. We don't know what kind of security situation there will be and we don't know if parts of the population would be forced to move to other areas of the country because of sectarian divisions. It's a huge unknown but I can say with some certainty that we are now still at the acute phase of the Syria crisis and the consequences are going to be long-term for Lebanon and the region.
Q: You have visited refugee and host communities many times over the past two years. What have some of the families shared with you?
A: They tell me about their very strong desire to return home. This is the message that we have to keep conveying to the Government of Lebanon because they are so afraid these people will stay. It's important to remind them that the refugees are here not because they want to be here; they are here because it's one of the few places they can get to that is safe.
There are many stories of families being divided, husbands and sons being left behind either to fight the battle or to defend the home and the property. That's why we see a refugee population that is 75 per cent women and children. There are also many personal tragedies of family members being killed while fighting, or being executed. And people having to gather the few belongings that they could carry and take them across the border.
I'm concerned about the tensions between refugee and host communities. (But) despite these tensions, the Lebanese people have been very welcoming. They know very well the suffering caused by conflict and displacement and in fact, some took shelter in Syria during the 2006 conflict and can really empathize with the Syrian refugees.
