Publisher's DescriptionNational Bestseller
"Beautifully written and delightfully strange--. As earthy as it is sublime, For the Time Being is, in the truest sense, an eye- opener."--Daily News From Annie Dillard, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek and one of the most compelling writers of our time, comes For the Time Being, her most profound narrative to date. With her keen eye, penchant for paradox, and yearning for truth, Dillard renews our ability to discover wonder in life's smallest--and often darkest--corners. Why do we exist? Where did we come from? How can one person matter? Dillard searches for answers in a powerful array of images: pictures of bird-headed dwarfs in the standard reference of human birth defects; ten thousand terra-cotta figures fashioned for a Chinese emperor in place of the human court that might have followed him into death; the paleontologist and theologian Teilhard de Chardin crossing the Gobi Desert; the dizzying variety of clouds. Vivid, eloquent, haunting, For the Time Being evokes no less than the terrifying grandeur of all that remains tantalizingly and troublingly beyond our understanding. "Stimulating, humbling, original--. [Dillard] illuminate[s] the human perspective of the world, past, present and future, and the individual's relatively inconsequential but ever so unique place in it."--Rocky Mountain News From the Trade Paperback edition. Editorial Reviews"At heart Annie Dillard's work is a record of her search for God . . . [and] For the Time Being is a brilliant book that . . . sums up God more succinctly than she ever has before."
--David Bowman, Salon Magazine "This uncommon book is a testament to a rare and redeeming curiosity . . . an exhilarating, graceful roundelay of profound questions and suppositions about the human adventure in nature. And as always, reading Dillard makes this mind-expanding experience an emotional one . . . with a voice blending clear-eyed factuality with prismatic meditations on ineffable things." --James Zug, Outside Magazine "Writing as if on the edge of a precipice, staring over into the abyss, Dillard offers a risk-taking, inspiring meditation on life, death, birth, God, evil, eternity, the nuclear age and the human predicament. Her razor-sharp lyricism hones this mind-expanding existential scrapbook, which is imbued with the same spiritual yearning, moral urgency and reverence for nature that has informed nearly all of her nonfiction since the 1972 Pulitzer Prize-winning Pilgrim at Tinker Creek." --Publishers Weekly "This absorbing meditation . . . [is] a spare yet exquisitely wrought narrative . . . By turns funny, flinty, and sublime, Dillard meshes the historical, the scientific, the theological, and the personal in a valiant effort to net life's paradoxes and wonders." --Donna Seaman, Booklist "A work of piercing loveliness and sadness . . . One of those very rare works that will bear rereading and rereading again, each time revealing something new of itself." --Kirkus Reviews Product ReviewsProduct Q&AFind Related ProductsAuthor/Artist Review |

To Anyone At Delta Or American Airlines Who Happens To Care More About Their Customers Than Their Bottom Line, I travel quite a bit personally and for business. While I have flown with a number of airlines, I had never flown with either Delta or American Airlines- and now I know why. I am extremely irate that a company would admittedly put its bottom line above the satisfaction of its guests and in turn, ruin a familys dream vacation. Our daughter is going to college this coming fall and we looked at this vacation as a celebration of her graduation, a Fathers Day present for my husband, and potentially one of our last vacations with our kids as our daughter would be entering womanhood when she turns 18 in August. I spent months planning this vacation- starting last December. Due to Delta though, instead of being the dream vacation I planned, it turned out to be a $10,000 nightmare. There are so many poignant facts that I need to relay to you, Im not even sure where to start or how to put these points into a manner that you will be able to follow along with. I am going to first list how the day was planned and then how it turned out due to Deltas uncaring and selfish motives. DAY 1 JUNE 18,2011 PLAN: We were scheduled to leave BWI on flight DL1825 at 9:00am for Atlanta to catch connecting flight DL547 at 12:10pm and ultimately arrive in Providenciales at 3:02pm to begin our dream vacation. Upon arriving in Turks and Caicos, we were going to have a late lunch as soon as we arrived (since the airlines do not provide food- even when traveling all day), hit the beach for a while and then get dressed for Dance Around The World and a late dinner at Marios Italian Restaurant. My daughter is about to start playing Division 1 soccer in college in August and has a very stringent daily workout routine. She works out every day- even on vacation (she worked out every day we were in Mexico June 5 12), so she was planning to get in a run with my husband and work out at the gym. The kids (14 and 17) planned to hit Liquid Nightclub and dance the night away while my husband and I unpacked everyone, showered, and climbed into bed exhausted, but excited to enjoy Fathers Day and the remainder of our vacation. REALITY THANKS TO DELTA AND AMERICAN AIRLINES We arrived at BWI and found complete mayhem at Deltas ticketing gate. There were multiple lines, no one knew if they were in the right line, there was only one lady working the baggage line for people who checked themselves in at the self-check-in kiosks and multiple people were fretting that they were going to miss their flights because the lines were taking so long. I asked my husband to wait in line so I could try to find someone who worked for Delta to see if we were in the right line since we were flying internationally and there is normally a separate international ticketing line. After searching and finally finding someone, I was told I was in the right line. So we waited only to find out we WERENT in the right line. We got in the right line and waited some more. We checked our bags, boarded the flight, and thought the worst was behind us. HOW WRONG WE WERE! We arrived in Atlanta and headed across the entire airport straight for the gate to catch our next flight. As we approached the gate, we heard them paging our name and ran over to the counter. Your representative, Doris House, said that Delta regularly oversells their flights by 10 seats to account for cancellations, but unfortunately no one cancelled, so we did not have seats. At first I thought she was joking and waited for her to say just kidding, but it quickly became apparent that she was not kidding. I told her that I paid for this flight back in January, I checked us in on-line yesterday, and the boarding passes I printed out said confirmed. She said that she understood, that we didnt do anything wrong, it was just luck of the draw. They were asking for volunteers, but who in their right mind would volunteer to stay in Atlanta when they were supposed to be lying on the beach in Turks and Caicos??? They were offering a $400 credit to take a later flight and a $600 credit plus overnight hotel accommodations, and lunch and dinner vouchers for people who would take a flight the next morning. Surprisingly, no one jumped at the chance to miss a day in paradise. I asked repeatedly if there was anyone that I could speak to as the resort we were staying at was approximately $800 a night and now we would be missing out on an entire day. Doris said that there was no one I could speak with and nothing I could do. I told her that I wanted a number of someone I could talk to, so she gave me one, but when I called it, it was only open Monday Friday. I told her I wanted a weekend number and she gave me another number which turned out to be a fax number when I called it. The third number she gave me was only available on weekdays as well, so I gave up as I watched our luggage being removed from the plane and our day flying away along with everyone else that was on our flight. I asked what was going to happen to our luggage and Doris said it was being re-routed with us. Doris told me that we were going to be routed through Miami and would leave Atlanta at 2:55pm on flight DL1860 and leave Miami at 6:25pm on American Airlines flight 625 arriving in Providenciales at 8:05pm. She said that since we would be arriving more than 4 hours after our original arrival time, they were reimbursing us twice the amount of our tickets. Since I spent about $2,000 on the tickets, I was shocked when she said the amount was on $356 per person. They would not be reimbursing us for the taxes, fees, or for the flight from Baltimore since we were able to get on that one. GETTING ON THE BALTIMORE FLIGHT DOES NOT HELP WHEN IT DOES NOT GET YOU TO YOUR FINAL DESTINATION!!! I told Doris that this was not acceptable as we were losing money by not being at the resort- not to mention the aggravation of having to take yet another connecting flight. She said that that was all she was able to do other than offer me a $100 credit for a future flight. YOU WERE OFFERING PEOPLE $400 - $600 PLUS HOTELS AND MEAL VOUCHERS, BUT WE WERE ONLY BEING OFFERED $356 PLUS $100 CREDITS??? YOU OFFER MORE TO PEOPLE WHO ARE VOLUNTEERING TO HAVE THEIR DAY RUINED THAN YOU DO TO PEOPLE YOU FORCIBLY RUIN??? HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE??? Doris assured me that she was doing the most she was authorized to do and I could contact Customer Care for further reimbursement. So I asked for lunch vouchers to feed my children and spent the next 30+ minutes in line at Delta waiting to get the reimbursement checks and new boarding passes. Robert from Delta was very unsympathetic and seemed annoyed to be dealing with us. Imagine that- you guys ruined our day and your associate cops an attitude because he has to do his job! We went back to the other side of the airport to board flight DL1860 which ended up being delayed and left at 3:45pm instead of 2:55pm. I should have been lying on the beach with my family- not boarding 2 more planes! We arrived in Miami, looked at the monitor and saw that the flight to Providenciales was on time (thankfully, but since we arrived late into Miami, we had 10 minutes to get to the gate.) We ran across the airport- me in high heel sandals- we had to go out and re-enter security and sprint to the gate. I told my husband and son to run ahead and hold the plane. When I finally made it to the gate, my husband looks at me and tells me that this flight was now delayed an hour! So we sat in Miamis airport with nothing to eat for dinner and waited for this plane to depart. The flight left an hour late at 7:25pm and we arrived in Providenciales shortly after 9:00pm. We waited for our baggage only to find out it wasnt on the plane. So instead of getting on our shuttle to the resort, we had to go get in line to report our missing baggage (Record locator TMUEOY for bags DL021520, DL021519, DL021518, and DL021517). ALL 4 BAGS WERE MISSING! EVERYTHING WE HAD FOR THE TRIP WAS IN THOSE BAGS! We were told that the next flight would not arrive until 1:56pm the next day and that our bags should be on that flight. I asked what we were supposed to do for toiletries and clothes for that night and the next day and was told that we would just have to wait until the flight arrived tomorrow. After putting in our claim, we had to wait for other passengers to file their claims before the shuttle would take us to the resort. By the time we arrived at the resort (Beaches) it was after 10:30pm- all of the better restaurants were closed as were all of the shops. I asked the resort staff if they had anything- toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, etc as we had left our house at 5am, been through 4 airports, and we smelly and exhausted. Unfortunately, they did not have any deodorant and were out of toothpaste and the shops were closed. So we went to our room with toothbrushes to brush our teeth with water, razors, and shaving cream. My daughter was angry that she wasnt able to complete her workout for the day. Since we were sharing a room with our 2 teenagers, everyone had to sleep fully clothed in the clothes we had been wearing all day- regardless of how uncomfortable or smelly they were. The kids were both pissed off and didnt want to go to the disco smelling the way they did and not having any cool clothes to wear, so we all went to bed hungry, smelly, exhausted, and livid that I spent $800 for us to put our heads on the pillow wearing the same clothes we had left the house in that morning. DAY 2 FATHERS DAY JUNE 19,2011 PLAN: Wake up wearing fresh clothes and have a nice Fathers Day morning breakfast with the family. Go to the beach, have a nice family lunch at Barefoot On The Beach, partake in the resorts activities throughout the day, my daughter, husband, and myself wanted to work out at the gym and go for a run, enjoy a Fathers Day dinner at Le Petit Chateau, have the resort photographer take family photos to commemorate our last Fathers Day with our daughter as a child and take part in the White Out Party. We also saw a sign upon check in for a Glow Worm tour which only happens at certain times of the year after a full moon! How exciting that we just happen to be here for this! Something we definitely want to take part in tonight after our bags get here! REALITY THANKS TO DELTA AND AMERICAN AIRLINES We decided to let the kids sleep as late as possible since we did not have any luggage, it would be less time that we would have to listen to them complain about not being able to go to the beach or enjoy their vacation. So my husband and I put shaving cream under our armpits in lieu of deodorant and headed out to breakfast without having our hair brushed, no make-up, etc. I was so angry about the circumstances, it made for a very unpleasant breakfast. The kids woke up angry that they wanted to go to the beach and I told them that we were told that we would have to wait until the plane landed at 1:56pm to get our luggage, so I asked them if they could just find other things to do for a few hours. All of the resorts activities are outside- water balloon fights, snorkeling, volleyball, chess, pool activities, etc, so I decided to go buy my daughter a bathing suit as I realized that even if our bags were on the plane that landed at 1:56pm, we probably wouldnt get them until 4pm. I asked my son if he could just swim in the shorts that he had worn on the plane since I really didnt want to waste all of our money on buying clothes if our bags would be arriving in a few hours. He refused to wear the shorts to swim in citing that if the bags didnt arrive, he wouldnt have a dry pair of shorts. So we went to 2 different gift shops hoping that one would be cheaper- which it wasnt. I asked both kids to pick the cheapest swimsuits they could find which turned out to be $58 for my daughter. My son and I got in a huge argument because he said the cheapest suits were ugly and he didnt want to wear them. I told him it was that or he swam in the short he had worn yesterday. He grabbed the swimsuit ($31) with an attitude and went into the dressing room to change. My husband and I resigned ourselves to spending the day in the hotel room as it was too hot outside for me to wear the long capris and t-shirt with no way of getting in the water to cool myself. When we got outside of the gift shop I realized how strong the sun was and that we didnt have any sunscreen (it was packed in the luggage). It was $21 for one bottle of sunscreen! I asked the kids if they could just try to stay in the shaded areas of the resort- which only resulted in another fight. Dismayed and frustrated, I decided to call the airline to find out what I was supposed to do all day without, any luggage or necessities such as sun screen. The lady was very nice apologized for my situation, and told me she would give us a $250 allowance to go buy bathing suits, sunscreen, deodorant, and anything else we needed. I hung up and went back to the gift shops to get my husband a swimsuit ($44) and flip flops ($51) since he had worn tennis shoes on the plane. I got the sunscreen ($21) and went to find the kids to spray them down. Once the three of them were somewhat situated, I went back to the gift shops to find deodorant, toothpaste, and a swimsuit for myself. Unfortunately, the first 2 gift shops did not have any one piece suits and the only tankinis they had were small. I am a 38D, so I really need a swimsuit with top coverage which their bikinis did not. So needing to get out of the clothes I was wearing due to the heat and the fact that I had been wearing them for 32+ hours straight, I bought a cover-up ($54), a small tube of toothpaste ($3), and one can of deodorant ($12) for all 4 of us to share. The resort was out of bug spray- which we had 2 bottles of packed in our luggage. Later that evening we would understand why the resort was out and had a ton of itchy bites to punctuate my anger! At this point I went back to the room and put the cover-up on over my bra and panties hoping that no one else would recognize it as my bra and panties and that the Caribbean breeze didnt blow the cover-up up revealing my undergarments. Finding my daughter, she told me that they were hungry, but that they had been rejected from the restaurant because the boys didnt have shirts and she needed a cover-up. Embarrassed and even more irritated, I called American Airlines back and explained that everything was very expensive on the resort and that we had gone through the $250 and still didnt have enough clothes to even get into the restaurant for lunch. The representative was again, very polite and nice and told me to just go and get whatever we needed and not to worry about the amount- just to save my receipts and submit them when I got home. I went back to the gift shops and bought 2 shirts (one for my son ($46) and one for my husband ($46)) and a cover-up for my daughter. As I was still walking around the resort in my undergarments, I gave my family their clothes so they could go get lunch while I looked for a bathing suit. The boutique had a couple of one piece suits, but the only one that fit (I am 510 and have a long torso- hence why I usually wear tankinis) was cut extremely low. As I had no other choice, I purchased that one ($78) and went to find my family. I had the pleasure of listening to my son question why I got the bathing suit I did as my breasts were hanging out everywhere and I should have just gotten post it notes from the hotel. He thanked me for embarrassing him by wearing the bathing suit to which I cried I didnt have any other options and I didnt appreciate him humiliating me any more than I already felt by having to wear the stupid suit. Since my family had already eaten while I tried to find that bathing suit I went off to have lunch by myself only to be told that the restaurant had just finished serving lunch. So I had to go eat at the little joint that is open from 11am 6am- so much for a nice lunch with my husband and family on Fathers Day! After I finished lunch, I called the airline to see if our bags had arrived on the 1:56pm flight and was told that the luggage still had not been located. The next flight would be in at 8pm that night and I would need to call back then to see if it had been located. I asked what we were supposed to do about dinner as the restaurant we had planned to eat dinner at required resort evening wear- nice dresses, no sandals, long pants for men, etc. I was again instructed to get what we needed and to save the receipts. I decided to nix the idea of the resort photographer as we did not have our outfits, make-up, straightener, etc. I once again gathered up my family and headed back to the gift shops. My daughter and I got white dresses($54 and $89) as there was a White Out Party that evening and went to get underwear as the ones we wore to the airports were pink and purple (unable to be worn under white dresses). Unfortunately, the resort only had underwear for little kids or very large people (we took them out of the packages to see if there was any way to make them work- there was not!). CAN THIS DAY GET ANY WORSE??? The only pants in the gift shops were horrible! They looked like pants old Cuban men wear. My son and husband both refused to wear them. So after arguing that the restaurant would not let them in without pants, we ended up changing our Fathers Day dinner to a less formal restaurant. I then proceeded to purchase 2 pairs of shorts ($56 each) for my son and husband. My husband refused to get another shirt to wear to dinner because he was concerned about how much everything cost and was worried that the airlines would not reimburse us for the clothes we were forced to buy. My daughter was upset that she was again unable to complete her collegiate workout schedule due to not having clothes or shoes, so I purchased a pair of cotton capris ($34) that she could wear to run barefoot in and sleep in (the shorts she wore on the plane were tight, white shorts that were very uncomfortable for her to sleep in the night before). I purchased a 3 pack white t-shirt ($19) that my daughter could wear one to run/workout in, my son could wear to dinner along with the shorts (although not a dressy shirt for dinner, he could wear it both there and at the White Out Party, and I could wear the third shirt to sleep in if needed. I had to breakdown and buy a pair of sunglasses ($19.99) to replace the ones packed in the luggage as my son was complaining that his eyes continued to hurt throughout the day from not having his sunglasses. The very expensive sandals I was forced to buy for my husband earlier had rubbed in between his toes raw, so he opted to not wear shoes on the extremely hot concrete/asphalt paths. Instead, he burnt the bottoms of his feet and proceeded to run from shaded area to shaded area and walk in the grass when he was able to. He looked like a ridiculous spy on a mission darting from shade to shade. With his feet being sore, our bags still missing, and everyone really grumpy from our second ruined day, we decided to pass on the Glow Worm tour knowing that we may never have the opportunity again. We went back to shave ourselves and get changed for dinner, but for my daughter and I, not having our make-up, hair straightener, jewelry, perfume, etc, we left for dinner feeling anything but pretty. The $12 can of spray deodorant left huge white chunks of deodorant escaping from our armpits- only increasing our sense of ugliness and embarrassment. Like my daughter and myself, my husband did not have any underwear either, so he went to dinner free balling it as they say. As there is a strong Caribbean breeze here, we had to hold our dresses to make sure they did not blow up and expose our bare bottoms. After dinner, which was very uncomfortable knowing we hadnt even been able to do our hair or make-up, I saw that my sons bag had arrived and went back to the lobby to call American Airlines to check on our luggage. We were told that the flight had been delayed (SURPRISE) and wouldnt be landing until 10:30pm so my sons bag must have been on the earlier flight, but they were still unable to locate the other 3 bags. I asked the representative who again was very nice what were supposed to do if the bags didnt arrive. She said the same thing as all of the other representatives- just save your receipts and submit them. I explained what our day had been like and explained that I would just like some clean underwear and bug spray- which the resort didnt have. I asked if the airline would pay for a taxi into town to purchase these items and was told that they didnt know- all I could do was submit the receipts to see what I could be reimbursed for. I SPENT MY ENTIRE DAY RUNNING FROM GIFT SHOP TO GIFT SHOP TRYING TO PIECE TOGETHER SWIMSUITS, CLOTHERS FOR LUNCH AND CLOTHES FOR DINNER. I DID NOT SPEND ANY TIME AT THE BEACH, AT THE POOL, OR PARTAKING IN RESORT ACTIVITIES. I BARELY SPENT ANY TIME WITH MY HUSBAND ON FATHERS DAY. ON A SCALE OF 1 10, MY ANGERS IS ABOUT 1000! I was told that by the time the bags got through customs, it would probably be around 1am. I asked the hotel to call the room if the bags arrived- regardless of the time. I went back to the room and put on the same capri pants that I had worn all the day before and that morning to sleep in. My husband had been spending the day handwashing his underwear in the bathroom sink instead of lounging by the pool- what a way to spend your vacation! We went to sleep- if you could call it that as I was up throughout the night checking the time knowing that the hotel staff had not called. What a horrible day in paradise. This will definitely be a Fathers Day we will never forget, but not for good reasons. There will be no photos- even ones taken by me- as everyone was so pissed off all day and didnt feel they looked pretty, so no one wanted their picture taken. DAY 3 JUNE 20, 2011 PLAN Wake up after a luxurious nights sleep to have breakfast as a family. Go on a horseback riding tour. Have lunch, enjoy the resorts activities, have dinner at Marinos (since we werent able to the first night), watch the Reggae Dance Party, kids go to Liquid Nightclub, etc. REALITY THANKS TO DELTA AND AMERICAN AIRLINES Had a very restless nights sleep tossing and turning waiting for a call from the front desk. My nose was very sore and when I woke up to use the bathroom I saw why. I wear foundation with SPF every single day of my life. I also brought a hat in my suitcase because I know how sensitive my skin is to the sun. Since I spent my entire day yesterday running around trying to call the airline and get clothes together for everyone and never actually sat out at the beach or pool, it didnt cross my mind to put sunscreen on. Not having my foundation or hat, my nose had blistered and bubbled and my forehead is extremely burnt as well. My daughter is still really pissed off since she doesnt have any of the cute clothes and new bathing suits she purchased for this trip. She still has not been able to fully complete her collegiate workout because she still doesnt have tennis shoes or her sports bra. Knowing that we are going to have to have to cancel the horseback riding tour because we do not have tennis shoes or jeans and the resort doesnt sell either of these, we decide to let the kids sleep and skip breakfast so we dont have to listen to them complain. I checked with the hotel only to find out that they bags did not arrive. I called American Airlines at 7am and sat on hold for 20 minutes before hanging up. I had breakfast with my husband wearing the same bathing suit and cover up that I wore the day before and my husband wore the same shorts and t-shirt from the day before. I called the American Airlines again and sat on hold for 15 minutes before the representative answered to see if there was an update and to see what we were supposed to do about the horseback riding tour, underwear, clothes for the day. The lady said that they had already given us a $500 allowance and that was all they could do. I told her that I had explained to everyone else that I had spoken to at American Airlines that EVERYTHING WAS VERY EXPENSIVE HERE! We had already spent @$720 the day before just trying to get bathing suits and clothes for lunch and dinner. We werent trying to buy a new bathing suit or cover-up every day, but we needed clean clothes for lunches and dinners and since we didnt have any underwear, we would like to avoid putting clothes back on that we had already excreted in. She said that she understood, but that we were at our limit. I asked what would happen if they could not locate our bags and she said that it would go to settlement and take months to resolve. As it was, once I submitted my receipts it would take at least 8weeks to be reimbursed! THAT ANGERS ME FURTHER AS I DO NOT HAVE AN EXTRA $1,000 SITTING AROUND JUST TO PAY FOR THE MISTAKE THAT DELTA MADE! Every time I checked on the bags I was told that it looked like Delta never turned them over to American Airlines. The flights coming in that day were at 1pm and 3pm. I told the representative that I would buy clothes for lunch and I would call back after the 3pm flight, but before dinner to see if they had located the bags. I did not want to have to buy clothes if the bags were going to arrive. This made my day more miserable because it required multiple calls to the airline- each call lasting at least 20 30 minutes and multiple trips to the gift shops- lasting about an hour before each meal. WHAT A WASTE OF A VACATION! I told her that we had found this little cultural market next to the resort and asked if we could buy clothes from there because they were cheaper but they did not have a computerized receipt- only hand written ones. She said she did not know what American Airlines reimbursement committee would accept. I explained that I was trying to save everyone money- the gift shop was soooo expensive. I could buy the same thing next door for a lot less. Again she said she didnt know, so I said I would just buy them from the gift shop. I went and purchased something for my daughter ($51) and I ($54) to wear and a t-shirt ($28) and shorts ($56) for my husband to wear during lunch. We hung around the resort instead of going on the horseback riding tour. Unfortunately, my forehead and nose was so sunburned that I spent most of the day trying to figure out how to stay out of the sun. Going in the ocean was out of the question as the snorkeling mask hurt terribly so I tried to stay in the shaded areas, under the umbrellas, and when my husband asked me to go in the lazy river, I held my hand over my nose and looked ridiculous the entire time. By this point though, I was becoming used to being humiliated and looked at oddly by resort guests and staff. After 3pm I called the airline and was told that they still had not been able to locate our luggage. Every time I had to go purchase clothes, it started another argument. My husband and I hardly ever argue, but he was astonished at the cost of the items in the gift shop and was worried that we would not be reimbursed. As we prepared for dinner I decided I would just wear the same thing that I had worn to lunch and my husband was going to wear the same thing that he wore to lunch in order to keep costs down and end the argument. We would change our dinner plans again to a restaurant that was less formal with the dress code. My daughter was not as understanding though because all of the friends she had made at the resort had different clothes for the meals and different bathing suits and different clothes for Liquid Nightclub and she was forced to wear the same things, go out without underwear, and have no make-up or hair accessories. Both her and I wore the same strappy, dressy sandals all over the resort and beach and had been wearing them since Saturday morning at 5am. Our feet were sore and the sand had gotten in between our feet and the sandals and rubbed the skin raw. I ran next door to the Turks and Caicos Cultural Market and bought her a dress for dinner ($30). As we walked over to Reflections Buffet after 5pm, I saw a man unloading our bags from a cart! I was so excited! I ran over and hugged him! We didnt even want to let them bring the bags to our room because we didnt want to let them out of our sight. I did go back to the lobby to call American Airlines to let them know that the bags had arrived, but while sitting on hold, I realized that I had already wasted so much of our vacation on the phone with these people that I just hung up. The hotel staff said that the airline would be notified. I realize that this is very long and I hope that you have continued to read it- the 20 minutes it is taking you to read this is nothing compared to the 3 days my family has lost. This was supposed to be a once in a lifetime vacation- we saved up for this vacation knowing that we would probably never be able to go to the Turks and Caicos again. We were supposed to be celebrating our daughters graduations and entrance into adulthood and my husbands last Fathers Day with his little girl. I spent months researching and planning this vacation and when you put that kind of effort into planning the perfect vacation and it turns out to be nothing close to what you envisioned, its heartbreaking. We spent so much time being angry at the circumstances and arguing with each other those first 3 days that even after we got our bags the vacation was ruined because too many mean words had passed between us to just flip a switch and act like nothing ever happened. My husbands birthday is July 1st and wanted to get him a massage at the spa, but instead of being happy about it and enjoying it, he was angry that I had spent more money considering the amount we had already spent on clothes and toiletries. By the 5th day, my nose and forehead were peeling like crazy, so we decided not to have the resort photographer take our photos this trip. Another lost memory. If our flight had been delayed or cancelled due to the weather or terrorist activity, I would be far more understanding. But to hear from a Delta employee that you regularly, intentionally overbook your flights with no regard to the people or the dreams you are affecting, it is shocking and unacceptable. Just on the way home yesterday we heard 4 Delta flights asking for more volunteers to give up their seats- our flight included! If I was to post an ad on the internet that I had a car to sell and someone purchased it, paid in full, and upon delivery of the vehicle I told them that I never really had the car, I would be arrested and charged with a felony. Yet you can offer tickets for sale that you really dont have. I am dumbfounded at this sense of logic. Having never been affected by it, I never really thought about it before, but now that I see how devastating this can be on a family, I am appalled and want to figure out a way to bring this to the publics attention and hopefully affect change with the airlines. I am writing to you for two reasons. Albeit, writing this has just made me angry all over again- especially since I am forced to spend all this time writing this in order to be reimbursed (which I would not have had to do if you didnt kick us off our paid-in-full flight and lose our bags). First, I would like to be reimbursed in a timely manner for all of the clothes and minimal toiletry items we were forced to buy. I have included all of the original receipts. The resort offered us 15% off all clothing items. The amounts above are before the discount. The total amount incurred is $902.72. Secondly, I am really hoping that someone at Delta or American Airlines can understand and sympathize with the horrible experience we had and the cost (both monetary and emotional) your deliberate act caused us. I would hope that your companies would be willing to try to make this situation right. I am anxious to hear your response and see if you try to reason and convince me that your profit is worth more than your customers happiness. We cannot get back this past week- it is lost to us forever, but you still have the ability to get back a future customer- lets hope that you see each customer as a value and are not okay losing one family (and every family that they know) to defend your stance of protecting your bottom line. Sincerely, I would like Delta to ensure we are reimbursed for all expenses incurred during the time we did not have our baggage and somehow compensate us for the trmendous inconvenience and loss of vacation time and experiences due to involuntarily bumping us from our flight and not having the right clothes to partake in excursions.
I can't help but wonder why you didn't launder the clothes you boughtor were wearing. Also, I think it's horrible you let this ruin yourvacation. You could have spent some money for a cab and found cheaperclothing and enjoyed your days. I've been on many flights where theywere oversold. I either volunteered to take another flight or Ididn't. I accepted what came after. This is just silly.
I have to say that I feel the letter is much too long - there has tobe somewhere that you can cut it down. Please let us know if you are reimbursed for everything. I feel likethey might say that the amount spent was too much to reimburse. Iwould imagine that there would be laundry facilities on the premisesif they're needed, so why keep buying multiples of different items ofclothing and swimsuits? I am confused.
...did I just read about deodorant stains on your armpits, and yourhusband "free-balling" due to a lack of clean underwear? If anybody needs me, I'll be over in the corner clawing my eyes out.
This parctice has been around for god knows how long. Basically almost every airline has a formula calculated by people inthe accouning departments. They track pas and previous flights from the same time period andexamine everything from miss connectors and no-show passengers andcomup with a number that a flight can be oversold by. Now JFK basedJetblue does not overbook it's flights, but it does happen fordeadheading crewembers rarely. Next time onsider a different airline.Airline overbooking is a legal practice. There are only 2 typesvoluntary and involuntary. Voluntary usualy results in morecompensation being given excluding taxes involuntary a bit less thenthe voluntary excluding taxes.
Y'know, on the one hand, I'm sympathetic. You spent a lot of money onthis vacation and obviously put a premium on the experiences - horseback riding, night clubs, glow worms, etc - and admittedly, unexpecteddelays and hassles do not bring the best out of everyone and it's apain to play run around with phone reps who are just trying to dotheir jobs, so a twinge of sympathy here and there. But, on the other hand, the chance to go on a vacation again with myentire family? Where the worst thing we had to worry about were cleanunderwear (sinks are great!) and no makeup (meh, who cares, they'veseen me at three in the morning)? As the commercials say, priceless. To put it in perspective - you were all together, you were all safe,you obviously had the money needed to pay for necessities if notluxuries and in the end, you got your luggage. The important thing, the thing you should have remembered at the timeis that you were all together and you were safe. In ten years, youwon't remember the nightclubs or the glow worms or the bathing suitcoverups, but you would have remembered the laughter and the timespent together. You would have remembered the love. What I wouldn't give to have one more family vacation with my entirefamily, resort or no resort, luggage or no luggage. It's the peoplewho are important, not the things we use as fillers. Delta created a hiccup, you turned it into the plague.
Your resort cost you $800/night and you're complaining about the priceof swimsuits and toilettries?
You say you travel often. Are you not aware of the fact that ALLairlines overbook? One way to avoid being bumped is to arrive earlyand allow ample time for connections. Since you were running to thegate in Atlanta, it doesn't sound like you allowed ample time. Lost and/or delayed luggage is also a part of airline travel. Ialways carry at least one change of clothes (or at least undies) in mycarryon as well as my meds and any necessary toiletries. (I haveallergies so I can't always use what the hotel provides). I agree with the other poster, you really could have turned this intoan adventure and have a trip you'll talk about in the future but itseems you almost went out of your way to be miserable. I would have taken the photo despite a sunburn or peeling. It wouldbe my badge of honor for trimuphing over the airlines and enjoying mytrip despite everything.
require much equipment. Personally, I think this lady needs to take avacation on her own. She deserves a break from the rest of herfamily.
swimsuits:( Can't expect a girl to swim in a last-second suit, can you?
the grad. (I'm a teacher, first year in this particular building.) The grad introduced me to a retired couple who were his "third set ofgrandparents". We spent a couple of hours talking, and they talked alot about their travel experiences. Many of those were instanceswhere the transportation had issues. Planes delayed for multiple reasons. Trains delayed because ofaccidents on the tracks or avalanches or whatever. Driving tripsdelayed for multiple reasons. This couple merely pulled out their board games or decks of cards, andinvited other passengers to join in. They taught others to play thegames. They had conversations. They made the best of each situation.

Lake Erie 95, Point Park 79: Storm open with impressive victory
The Lake Erie College men's basketball team opened the season Thursday on a decidedly high note, cruising to a 95-79 victory over Point Park at the Osborne Center.
LEC junior forward Jamil Dudley tallied a team-high 20 points as the Storm had 12 players in the scoring column.
Junior guard Tom Parker turned in a strong all-around effort with 17 points, six assists, five rebounds and five steals.
He was at the helm when the Storm opened the second half with a 16-2 spurt that turned what had been a tight battle into a rout.
"It started with defense. We wear teams down with defense," Parker said of the outburst that gave LEC a 60-40 lead four minutes into the second half.
Parker made 7 of 8 field goals and cashed in all three of his shots from 3-point range. He also took good care of the ball with only two turnovers in 22 minutes.
"I've never seen a guy work harder to develop his skill set," LEC coach Cliff Hunt said of Parker.
Junior forward Rich Austin finished with 15 points and nine rebounds.
LEC shot 52 percent from the field overall and 50 percent from beyond the 3-point line.
Josh Arnold topped Point Park with a game-high 23 points. Continued...
The Storm came out on a roll, taking leads of 10-4 and 17-7 before the Pioneers hit their stride and narrowed the gap to 17-16 with a 9-0 run.
With just under eight minutes remaining in the first half, LEC pushed its lead to 33-27 on a driving layup by Parker.
The 6-foot junior from St. Ignatius High School netted 10 of his points in the first half as the Storm took a 44-38 lead at halftime.
"I love this team. If we play our best at both ends of the floor, we can be really good," Parker said.
The Storm swings back into action on Nov. 20 with a road game against local rival Notre Dame College.

A year ago, the Minnesota Lynx opened the WNBA playoffs in an unfamiliar position after setting the franchise record for wins and making the team's first postseason appearance since 2004. The experience of winning the title has the defending champions in a much different mindset this time.
Minnesota (27-7) again finished with the league's best record, matching last season's win total, and enters the playoffs as the favorite to become the first team to win consecutive championships in 10 years.
"Last year was a lot of teaching about the playoffs and what to expect," Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve said. "This year is different. They know exactly what to expect. They know exactly what I want from them, where their focus is to be."
With just two newcomers, Minnesota's chemistry was evident all summer as it opened the season with 10 wins, and then followed the only losing streak — a three-game skid in the first week of July — by winning 11 straight. The Lynx did set one franchise record this year, going 16-1 at home — which could come in handy since Minnesota is assured of having home-court advantage every round.
However, just because the Lynx won last year and had another big season, star forward Seimone Augustus insists their approach is still the same. They aren't taking anything for granted, nor will they look beyond their first-round series against Seattle, which opens Friday.
"You don't want to look too far ahead as far as defending a title," Augustus said. "We got to get past the first round, second round to get back to the Finals. So just being focused in on what we need to do against Seattle is the most important thing right now."
The postseason begins Thursday with New York (15-19) visiting Connecticut (25-9) in the Eastern Conference and Los Angeles (24-10) hosting San Antonio (21-13) in a West series. Indiana (22-12) hosts Atlanta (19-15) in the opener of the other East series on Friday.
The Sun were the dominant team in the East, winning their first conference title since 2006 — the second of two straight years they accomplished the feat. Connecticut finished one win shy of the franchise record, did not lose consecutive games at any point and lost two out of three just twice. The Sun were also the league's best road team at 13-4.
"We've taken care of all the particulars we can take care of," Connecticut coach Mike Thibault said. "Now we just go play one game at a time."
The Sun open against a Liberty team they beat four out of five times this season, with the last meeting coming more than a month ago. However, New York has been playing with a playoff mentality the second half of the season as they went to the nearly the last day of the season before edging Chicago for the final postseason spot. Continued...
"They're playing as a team better since we've last seen them," the Sun's Kara Lawson said. "They have a lot of experience on that team. So we have to play the way we played all season long, and utilize the strengths we have against them."
Minnesota's biggest challenge in the West figures to come from the Sparks, who had their best season in six years and boast a starting lineup with five double-figure scorers that account for more than 80 percent of the team's points. They were also a dominant team at home, losing just once — like the Lynx.
Los Angeles is led by Candace Parker, who played a full season for the first time since she was a rookie in 2008, and Kristi Toliver, who is a strong candidate for the league's Most Improved Player award. Nneka Ogwumike, this year's No. 1 overall pick draft, also provides a strong defensive presence to complement Parker.
The Silver Stars won three of four against the Sparks this season, though their victories all came in a two-week stretch in June. Los Angeles had a 20-point win at home in late August and closed the season with five wins in its last six games.
"The last few weeks they've been peaking at the right time," San Antonio veteran guard Becky Hammon said. "We just want to come in, focused and be who we are. Defensively we've got to be on our toes with them. They have so many great 1-on-1 players, so it's going to take a team effort for us."
San Antonio's season was highlighted by a 15-2 stretch midway that included a 12-game winning streak. The Silver Stars were inconsistent before and after that run, losing seven of their last 11. Now, they'll have to turn things around if they want to get past Los Angeles and advance in the postseason for the first time since reaching the Finals in 2008.
The other East series is a rematch of last year's conference finals, which Atlanta won in three games to advance to the title round for the second straight year — where the Dream were swept again by a dominant team.
Atlanta endured some turmoil last month, including a coaching change and the suspension of star forward Angel McCoughtry — the league's top scorer. The Dream got past that and finished strong, winning seven of their last nine — including a loss in two overtimes at Minnesota.
"We just need to make sure that we continue to play together, play extremely hard," Atlanta's Lindsey Harding said. "From this point on every possession matters. It is going to be a close game all the way through, so that is definitely our focus."
The Fever, led by Tamika Catchings and Katie Douglas, had at least 21 wins for the seventh time in eight seasons, but their depth could be tested in the opening round. Starters Briann January and Shavonte Zellous missed the last three games due to concussion-like symptoms and coach Lin Dunn hoped to get the two cleared to practice by Thursday.

"Spectacular ocean front resort but service lacking"
I have stayed at this hotel many times but had never booked through hotels.com. A few days before our arrival, I called the hotel to confirm our booking and was told they did NOT have the cabin we reserved and we would have to take an inferior cabin as the resort was fully booked. I was very upset by this (the offered unit had no ocean front balcony […] which was primary feature I wanted) so I called hotels.com to complain that the hotel was not honouring my booking. The agent from hotels.com immediately called the hotel and initially she was told the same thing - the hotel was full and we would have to accept the cabin offered. As this was actually a downgrade hotels.com immediately offered me the $100 differential between the 2 units. I still wasn't happy with the hotel but I was very impressed with how hotels.com handled the situation. I later received a call from the hotel saying they secured the unit I originally booked but the whole ordeal was a total hassle. The hotel itself did not even mention this mix-up when I checked-in (no apology) and made no effort at all to make amends for the giant hassle it caused. We found the hotel service in general to be lacking (tv remote didn't work, asked twice for it to be repaired with no response, did not replace towels and toilet paper etc.) Overall, we love this hotel with it's spectacular, natural ocean front setting but they need a little lesson in customer service...perhaps hotels.com could give them some pointers.

"Very Pleasing."
The Middle Beach Hotel was most welcoming upon arrival. The lounge area surrounding a grand fireplace had many comfortable chairs and chesterfields with views of the beach or the crackling fireplace. The ability to pour a cup of coffee, tea, water, or hot chocolate was available any time of day or night. Great to take a cup with us on a drive to a local […] beach. The sound of the surf very comforting. Cookies smelled as good as they tasted prior to heading to our room for the night. Breakfast in the morning offered us a variety of foods, fresh baked muffins, cinnamon buns, croissants, eggs, bread to toast, fresh grapefruit, apples, oranges, bananas, yogurt, cereals etc. Staff were most helpful with local info and suggestions on where to go.

I didn't research this hotel before I booked as it was recommended. This being the case I was surprised when I arrived and discovered no TV or blow dryer.

"We will be back!!!"
We had rented cabins during a prior stay and this time it was just my husband and myself. We had a second floor ocean view! It was wondeful. It had a great kitchen ( wish I would have known that it had one), living area, balconey, separate bedroom with the view and a huge bathroom with a soaker tub and shower. Could not have asked for more and it was […] also the one of the best deals in the area. The housekeeping staff were very good and very accomadating. We had a couple of slow starts to our day and they adjusted their schedule for us. Most of the front staff were excellent but at the Thanksgiving supper there was a staff who handled an issue with hotel guest with allergies very, very poorly. Any place that serves food should have a policy in place about what should be done. The evening meals at the Lodge are overpriced but they make up for that by serving a fantastic selection at their Continental Breakfasts! Ler maisAvaliação genuína de um cliente da Expedia
"Great hotel for back to nature experience"
It was more secluded than I had thought - people should know there aren't TVs in the rooms and the wi-fi is pretty much useless. Having a car is also a good idea. Beautiful location though and the staff was great.Avaliação genuína de um cliente do Hoteis.com
"Great location and views, small, shabby rooms"
Great location and views however the rooms are in need of updating, they are looking tired and a bit shabby, plus they have horrible brown coloured sheets which are very dated. There is also no wardrobe in the queen upstairs rooms just pegs. We ended up living out of our suitcases. The lounge downstairs was the saving grace and this was nicely furnished […] with sofas and chairs, you could also bring back food and wine and eat in there. The breakfasts were a bit un-adventurous and if you weren't down early enough there wasn't much left. The front desk staff were not very helpful and didnt offer any info on the area and didnt seem very enthusiastic. Overall it was cheap so you get what you pay for!

"Laid back loveliness overlooking the cliffs."
Despite being charged, as far as we could tell, more than the difference between the two rooms to upgrade to a sea view - and then discovering the only available sea view room was disapointingly tiny - this was a really lovely lodge to stay in. The location is superb overlooking the cliffs and small beach. The communal lounge really made the stay - […] lots of comfy sofas, log fire, books, games etc plus freshly-baked cookies every day at 8pm and coffee available all day. The breakfasts were also amazing with plenty of freshly-baked choices and cereal, fruit etc. would definitely recommend but ask for one of the bigger rooms or a suite up at the headlands lodge to really appreciate it.

"Great place for a retreat, very relaxing,laid back"
Loved the great room in the lodge where we could have our continental breakfast (with delicious homemade muffins and cinnamon buns!), coffee and tea, and the best part--cozy couches to snuggle up with a book by the fire on a rainy day. A wonderful relaxing place. Only downsides were smaller bedrooms (but really, who wants to stay in the room!), window […] shades that didn't block the morning light (if you wanted to sleep in!) I can't wait to return to this lovely retreat! Ler maisAvaliação genuína de um cliente do Hoteis.com

"Comfort in a beautfiul location"
I quite enjoyed this hotel that felt both upscale and rustic at the same time. Certainly the location is beautiful and the smell of baking in the halls gave it a very comforting appeal. The room was small and lacked some of the things one comes to expect (TV, hair dryer, clock), but you could always go to the comfortable lounges made available. The […] breakfast was very good. The cinammon danish was worth every calorie. I do wish that North American hotels would be more inclined to include something savoury on the Continental Breakfast menu. A little cheese or smoked salmon would have made it perfect. Sorry, a boiled egg doesn't do it for me. Ler maisAvaliação genuína de um cliente da Expedia
"A calming experience"
This lodge has a fabulous common room for sitting and relaxing. The views are spctacular. Breakfasts are wonderful - uncomplicatedd but delicious. The rooms are snug, so we had to unpack our clothing and hank it on the ample hooks that were provided. The location is convenient to the highway and many activities in the area. I'd like to go back.Avaliação genuína de um cliente da Expedia
"A Little Touch of Paradise"
If you are looking for a boutique hotel, this isn't the place for you. If you are happy with forest lodge style accomodation - then read on. I don't care that the rooms are a little care worn and that the paint scheme is twenty years out of date - everything is forgotten when you look out the window. It's a setting to die for. The hotel occupies a tiny […] footprint in the virgin forest, it's perched on a rocky rise overlooking a gorgeous beach. It's a place to walk hand-in-hand across the sand and take a little time from the rat-race. Forget the decor and breakfasting at a tressle table squeezed in with the other guests. It really doesn't matter and you soon make friends with everyone else who is blown away by this hotel. Ler maisAvaliação genuína de um cliente da Expedia

This was the smallest room I have ever stayed in. The entire room was 9' x12'. I only hit my head on the slopped ceiling once but I am not tall.

We stayed in the "Beach Lodge" for five nights. The accommodation was heavenly. We had a wonderful king sized bed with separate living room /kitchenette and our own balcony with a view of the beach. We could hear the waves crashing against the shore at night. While we were separate from the main lodge we could drop over for breakfast (Be warned, it […] ends about 9.45, so you have to be early!)or coffee and relax by the fireside.

Although many of the hotels amenities (everything from restaurant to rainslickers) can be shared while renting a less expensive room, our getaway in the beachhouse was worth the extra investment.

"A wonderful retreat."
Excellent atmosphere and ambiance, very satisfying breakfasts, and lots of room to spread out in the main part of the lodge for reading, board games, or just watching the ocean pounding on the rocks. Deck area is also perfect for that. Has its own private beach. Front desk service was excellent and friendly, and everyone was very helpful.

"I will definitely stay here again."
I stayed at Middle Beach Lodge during this, my first trip to Tofino. I arrived around 2am in pouring rain to find my key and room information left for me so that I would have a place to stay for the night. It only got better from there. Their breakfast was the best continental that I have ever had. The Lodge was very peaceful and the scenery was beautiful. […] It was only about a 5 minute drive into town so the location was very convenient. I will definitely stay her next time I'm in Tofino and I highly recommend this Lodge, you will not be disappointed. Ler maisAvaliação genuína de um cliente da Expedia
"Best hotel ever"
this was by far one of the best and most relaxing places I have ever stayed. The lodge is perched on a rock outcropping right over the pacific ocean between two gorgeous beaches. The service was amazing. The lodge was cozy and welcoming...they serve fresh baked cookies every night at 8pm and also prepare a good breakfast every morning. Actually...what […] I enjoyed most about this place is that there are no TVs or phones in the rooms....may be strange for some people...but I took this as a place that truly encourages relaxation and rejuvenation.....truly getting away from it all. At night, guests gather in the lodge to relax by the fireplace , read books, play games , mingle with a glass of wine, or grab a cup of coffee and watch the sun set over the ocean. I surely be returning to this place . It was truly amazing! You will not regret it. Ler maisAvaliação genuína de um cliente do Hoteis.com

This is a very quirky hotel built in the style of a wooden lodge in the heart of the rain forest but with it's own deserted beach. The rooms are small but adequate, very clean and well serviced.

The hotel provides […] free coffee, tea and hot chocolate in the very inviting lounge all day. There are also fresh baked cookies available at 8pm as well as a roaring fire.

When you've wanted to visit a special destination for years, there's a lot of built up expectations. When you've spent a lot of money on somewhere you've never stayed, you're naturally nervous.

Our room - part of the sixplex suites - was well outfitted and had […] a beautiful view of the ocean and beach below. The linens, especially the warm throws in the living room and bedroom, were soft as could be. The soaking tub with a view to the ocean was divine. MBL was everything I had hoped and more.

No Pants Subway Ride: Are You In?
Philadelphia is one of dozens of cities around the country taking part in an annual pantless tradition.
Global No Pants Subway Ride is this Sunday.
This will be the 12th year for the event organized by Improv Everywhere.
The No Pants Subway Ride started in New York, but has branched out to other cities. (Check out the Improv Everywhere YouTube video of last year's New York event in the upper right corner of this post.)
People of all ages and underwear choices take part in the event, as shown in the video.
Philadelphia's No Pants Subway Ride has its own Facebook page, which gives details on what to do if you want to be part of the event, which runs from 3-5 p.m.
It also advises participants, "Please wear underwear. This isn't the naked bike ride."
So, do you think you might take part in the No Pants Subway Ride or maybe just go check it out with pants on? Share your thoughts in the comments area below.

lighten up! No one is asking you to participate. You see this much at the beach, even more. It is just people having fun with doing something that is incongruous with the daily norm. No one is harmed in the making of this event.

Clearly all three of you are typical small town women with much to do, broad minds and superior writing skills. Perhaps reading other publications prior to your daily "patch" articles might help you from being so hateful and judgement so early in the morning.

Okay, this is later in the day, but is still negatory. Actually, if I need to ride the sub to go to work or to go to worship, I do NOT have a choice in the matter as with choosing to go to or not to go to the beach. SEPTA is a public accommodation. What you want to label as "fun" for yourself, may be serious temptation to another. You might be quick to judge someone who gives into the temptation as a pervert. You may well hurt someone directly or indirectly. At minimum, your fun is an invasive offense to many.

not sure which ia more amusing: the very idea of pantless subway riding, or the way people are getting their undies in a knot over it... :-)

5:04 pm on Friday, January 11, 2013
The riders are not actually naked, btw. They generally choose rather modest underwear since it will be seen. Some shorts cover less but maybe you worry about those folks too - how should I know? There should be no reason to worry about getting a yeast infection from this event. Also, the flu concern is not related to pants. By now we all know viruses cause the flu, not exposure to cold.
5:17 pm on Friday, January 11, 2013
this is rather hilarious, but i am curious what the purpose of the no undies/pants is. Especially in the dead of winter...

5:30 pm on Friday, January 11, 2013
Also usually the cold is not a problem. If you read the facebook page the idea is to remove the pants after boarding and put them on again before leaving. It might be good practice for other unexpected events that one might witness. As for the point, you'll have to ask someone who has participated. I'm sure there are all sorts of reasond people participate. Heck, some are probably posted on the facebook page.

Wizard World Philly Preview
Just one more day until Wizard World Philadelphia kicks off. Broken Frontier has posted an interesting interview with Wizard Universe VP Rob Felton who discusses the history of the event and the 6th annual Wizard World Philadelphia.[BROKEN FRONTIER] Wizard World Chicago was originally launched as a marketing tool for the company – we acquired an existing show and re-branded it. After five years of continuing success we decided to launch our first original show, Wizard World Philadelphia.
After that show's resounding success, as evidenced by our return to Philadelphia for the sixth time this year, we created Wizard World Texas and Wizard World Los Angeles, spreading our coverage over the four corners of the country and the four quarters of the year.

Paul Sacco says searching for his missing daughter feels like something akin to bleeding out. All the hope, heartache and anxiety that go into it leave him feeling diminished.
But the Colorado lawyer and amateur guitarist has managed to bottle up some of that energy, spending hundreds of hours creating what is both a tribute to Aubrey Sacco and a monument to his sorrow: a 14-song album he has published to Internet vendors.
"Finding Aubrey" includes 11 songs written and performed by Sacco at his home studio, as well as the last three songs Aubrey herself recorded at home before the 23-year-old disappeared in April 2010 while hiking alone in Nepal.
The case is unsolved, and the album -- for sale on iTunes and other outlets -- is a fundraiser for an investigation into her disappearance.
"So many people who know us say, 'What is it like?' or 'I can't imagine what it's like to have your daughter go missing,' " Paul Sacco said in a phone interview. "The album tells the whole story: feeling helpless, feeling like you want to celebrate your daughter, feeling like she may never come back and diminishing yourself as you look for her."
Aubrey disappeared toward the end of a five-month post-college trip in Asia. The 2009 University of Colorado graduate, who had a double major in psychology and art, went to Sri Lanka to teach yoga to vacationers before traveling to India to study yoga and volunteer to help schoolchildren with music and art.
She hoped to do charitable work, perhaps hooking up with a nongovernmental organization abroad, her dad said. But she vanished on the last stop of her trip, in Nepal's Langtang National Park, where she hiked for at least two days.
She initially was believed to have made it as far as a particular village on the hike's second day, but villagers there changed their stories and said they didn't see her after all. Investigators don't know what happened to her and have yet to find any physical trace of her.
Paul Sacco, 59, and his wife have taken trips to Nepal to press the investigation, working with private investigators, Nepali police and the Nepali army to try to determine what happened.
Between his job and his investigation, Sacco found at least three hours a day for more than a year to write and record the album. Playing all the instruments, supplying all the vocals and recording and mixing the tracks, he grieved through music. He came up with a first version last year before publishing the finished product in April.
