text: State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau: Today, two aircraft chartered by UNHCR carried the last members of the MEK out of Iraq to safe haven in Albania. The rescue of more than 3,000 MEK members is the culmination of a major diplomatic initiative by the United States in support of UNHCR's efforts to relocate them. We are grateful to the Government of Iraq for facilitating the departure of the MEK, and we are especially appreciative of the extraordinary efforts of the Albanian Government and the Albanian Prime Minister Rama to welcome these people who are in need of international protection. These actions, we believe, are in the best traditions of the generosity and tolerance of the Albanian people.

The impact of cross-disciplinary conservation on social development
2 May 2014
The programme for the Institute of Archaeology Annual Conference 2014 on 'The impact of cross-disciplinary conservation on social development' is now available.
The conference will explore the impact of conservation ethics and practices on socio-cultural, economic and ecological contexts in need of development, areas of post-conflict recovery and reconstruction due to natural disasters.
The main purpose of the conference is to stimulate lasting discussion (within heritage conservation, the broader field of heritage, and nature conservation) on how the practice of conservation can promote human wellbeing and economic prosperity, support conflict or disaster recovery, and foster social cohesion.
This event is being organised by the Institute's Conservation and Development Research Network, in collaboration with the Heritage Conservation and Human Rights Network (University of Nairobi) and the Iraqi Institute for the Conservation of Antiquities and Heritage (University of Delaware).

Left Hand Magic: A Novel of Golgotham
by Nancy A. Collins
Review by Drew Bittner
Roc Mass Market Paperback ISBN/ITEM#: 9780451464309
Date: 06 December 2011 List Price $7.99 Amazon US / Amazon UK / Show Official Info /
After weathering tough times, it seems all is well for artist Tate and her boyfriend Hexe, prince of the Kymera (magic-wielding humanoids) of Golgotham--New York's strangest neighborhood. But looks are deceiving; a wave of race hatred is surging in the streets...and threatens to wash away Tate and Hexe altogether.
In Left Hand Magic, the second Golgotham novel by Nancy A. Collins, Tate and Hexe have reached a state of (relative) domestic bliss. Living in Golgotham is not easy for a human like Tate, especially since residents like Hexe's virulent Uncle Esau want to drive all humans from the neighborhood, but she appears to have adapted. She's made friends and enjoys the tolerance (if not the welcome) of her neighbors.
The signs of chaos are not easy to miss, however. Tate and Hexe are in their favorite bar when a brawl erupts between clueless human kids and Golgotham locals, triggering a showdown between the law enforcement of both sides of the Gate; the events of that night spin into a riotous trial and angry denunciations on both sides. Race relations sour drastically.
Meanwhile, Hexe has his hands full undoing curses--one of the most cruel of which was the work of his uncle--and Tate pays back a favor by building an unusual metal figure in a warehouse.
Then disaster strikes as a viral video shows the "Sons of Adam" beating a Kymeran to death. These three hooded figures promise a war on Golgotham, which sparks a political groundswell against human encroachment. Hexe and Tate investigate this new phenomenon at great risk, only to find that matters are far worse than they suspected.
Unless they can solve the mystery behind the "Sons of Adam" and the new political machine building in Golgotham, there will be a war unlike any fought on American soil--with Tate and Hexe in the middle.
Nancy Collins builds skillfully upon the themes she established in Right Hand Magic. With Golgotham now chic thanks to Tate's magazine writer friend, more and more college kids and looky-loos are infiltrating the neighborhood, beyond the streets where they traditionally visited. Worse, some normal humans (aka numps) actually want to live there now. This is intolerable to human-haters like Uncle Esau, and leads to an appalling breach on his part; the events that set him on his path become understandable, as Hexe delves into family history, but evil is evil no matter how it was started.
Tate continues to blossom as a race-crossing heroine, standing up to her patrician parents (and making a horrifying realization about them) in order to stand on her own, while Hexe also has to stand up to part of his family. While his mother struggles to accept his relationship with Tate, she is still old school enough to realize what a political problem it is for the Kymeran prince to be with a human.
The issues of cultural assimilation continue to play a huge role, as Golgothamites riot to preserve their way of life. If taxis come to Golgotham, what of the centaur-drawn carriages? If computers and the Internet come, what of message-carrying spells or couriers? Collins does a superlative job at establishing the stakes for both sides, and painting what seems like a no-win situation.
Fans of the "urban" in urban fantasy will love this new novel; readers who are looking for something beyond snarky heroes and magical murders will find much to enjoy as well. Collins is a founder of urban fantasy and her sure, skillful words are always welcome to this reader.

This morning, the latest American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) retail and e-commerce report came out. It covers retail, grocery stores, online brokerages and e-commerce. The results are mixed and largely negative for e-tailers.
According to the report, based on data compiled through "interviews with roughly 70,000 customers annually" by the University of Michigan and its research partners, customer satisfaction with online retail sunk to its lowest aggregate score in more than a decade. Some brick-and-mortar retailers fared better, although department store performance was lackluster, according to the report.
Amazon and Netflix (strangely categorized here as a "retailer") gained ground in the survey, while almost all others helped drag the e-tail sector down. The 5 percentage point decline is the largest since 2001 according to the ACSI report.
Source: ACSI Retail and E-Commerce Report 2013
The report briefly speculates about holiday snafus online but has little more to say about the decline in customer satisfaction across web-based retailers. Somewhat paradoxically consumers expressed high levels of satisfaction with various aspects of the online retail experience, including checkout and payment, merchandise selection and overall website user experience elements.
Source: ACSI Retail and E-Commerce Report 2013
Strangely, mobile was totally omitted or neglected in the report.
In the "why should you care" (my phrase not theirs) discussion, the report argues that consumer satisfaction scores are predictive of future market performance and success:
ACSI data have proven to be strongly related to a number of essential indicators of micro and macroeconomic performance. For example, firms with higher levels of customer satisfaction tend to have higher earnings and stock returns relative to competitors. Stock portfolios based on companies that show strong performance in ACSI deliver excess returns in up markets as well as down markets. And, at the macro level, customer satisfaction has been shown to be predictive of both consumer spending and GDP growth.
That makes a lot of intuitive sense. However ACSI has a mixed-to-poor track record when it comes to predicting the future of online businesses. That's been especially true in the search market, where Google has suffered ACSI ups and downs (and other search engines have outscored it periodically), without any corresponding impact on market share.

How to make Mini Pies, Hands-On-Experience
Posted by Pie Guy
How to bake mini pies.
Get hands-on experience
Starting to bake Mini Pies
Since we tend to play with our dough more with mini pies, it is very important that the dough has been chilled. Prepare your dough by refrigerating it for an hour or more. Make sure the working surfaces are cold or at least cool to the touch.
Mini Pies – How much dough do I need?
Once you know the mini pie size and the number of pies you need to bake, you can determine how much dough is needed.
A normal double crust dough recipe that calls for two-half cups or three cups of flour will make six to eight double crust (top and bottom) four-inch mini pies and two six-inch mini pies.
These numbers depend on how thick or thin you roll out your crust.
Roll crust out thinner than for a standard pie crust to about 3/16 inch thick.
Flatten the dough
On a well-floured cool surface roll out your dough to a long rectangle about 10-inches wide, and as long as you can get it until the thickness is almost 3/16-inch.
Do not roll past the edges of the dough, just right up to them. If you do, the edges will be too thin and too fragile to hold up in the mini pie pan. The dough will tend to tear while it forms to the mini pie pan.
Cut-out mini pies
Use a large cookie cutter or something circular in the kitchen to cut out the dough circles for the pie.
You want two times the sides plus the bottom of the pie.
A four-inch mini pie will need (2 x 1″ + 3.75″ = 5.75) a dough circle of 5 3/4-inch in diameter.
A small mixing bowl works perfectly for this size.
A six-inch mini pie would need a 8-inch to 9-inch dough circle for the bottom crust.
The top crust is just the diameter of the pie pan to its outer edges and some.
Put the dough to rest
Butter the pie pans and place a strip of parchment paper in the bottoms of the pie pans or muffin cups. Place the dough circles in the pan.
It helps to chill the pans first so that the fat in the dough remains stiff and not mushy.
Working quickly, use your fingers to form the crust to the muffin pan. Push the dough to the edges and creep some of it to the top flat part of the pan.
For a single crust crimp the edges now. Refrigerate before filling or blind baking.
Mini Pie: Filling it
Filling a mini pie is no different than filling a standard pie except you use less and size of fruit pieces. This is an apple pie, so cut the apple to 1/2-inch chunks or smaller.
There are more mini pie problems.
Mini pie voids
Anything larger will create voids in the pie. Empty spaces in the filling could create a thin, cooked down filling.
Stuff as many apples as you can so that every bit of space in the pie is filled. If this is not done your filling will cook down so much were the pie will look flat in the center.
Cream filling
For mini custard and cream pies, fill it with a large spoon or small measuring cup. Keep the filling below an 1/8th inch from the top. Mini pies tend to boil over quickly. So do not get too carried away. Allow some room for expansion so that the filling does not just boil over and out.
Top it off, mini pie
Roll out your dough and cut out circles that are the same size as the diameter of the pie and some.
Brush the bottom dough edges with an egg wash before applying the top crust or use just cold water.
Press the doughs together to seal the two crusts.
Mini pie vents
When cutting vents in the pie, place them as near as possible to the center.
If you locate your vents near the edge of the pie, the filling will just run out onto your oven and smoke. We want to keep those lovely juices inside.
Mini pie dress-up
For a nice presentation brush egg wash all over the top and sprinkle with some sugar. Be creative with cutout hearts, stars and diamonds. Offset the cut out pieces next to the pie vents.
If your plans call for a lattice top, do not fill the pie to the point where it will boil out. Fillings like cherry and berry fill up to an 1/8-inch down from the top edge.
Why not drizzle some colored icing over the top of your mini pies. Apply some nuts if you prefer.
Baking the mini pie
Mini pies bake faster than a standard pie. They will cook in 25 to 35 minutes.
Place the pie in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes and then turn it down to 375 or 350 to complete the baking.
Now you know what it takes to bake mini pies. Have fun with them!
Storing and freezing mini pies
Mini pies can be stored up to two months or longer in the freezer if done right. They are great if you want to ship them by mail.

In recent years it's been tough to believe in the Dallas Cowboys. One week they play great and the next week they stink, and as soon as you start to believe in them, they let you down.
That theme was proven earlier this year when the Cowboys couldn't string consecutive wins together when they got out to a 3-5 start. However, the 2012 Dallas Cowboys have actually won three games in a row and five of six, so where does that leave Cowboys backers?
The same place it always does; you either believe in this team or you don't. As it usually is with the Cowboys, there is very little wiggle room in the middle. Here is the biggest difference in this season though; no matter if you're a believer or not, this Cowboys team is different than in year's past.
No matter which side of the fence you fall on, what the Cowboys have done in the past few weeks as been pretty amazing. They are playing with players who had no team for weeks into the football season and winning games. They are winning with heart, toughness and determination, qualities the Cowboys have rarely shown in recent seasons.
So which side do you fall on?
There are plenty of writers out there, I won't mention any names, who still don't believe. They don't think the Cowboys are any good, instead they say a watered down league is the reason the Cowboys are in the position they're in. That maybe true but you have to win games and the Cowboys are showing everyone they know how to to that. I'm trying to figure out what they have seen in the past few weeks that doesn't make them believers?
There are also plenty of people, mostly fans, who believe the Cowboys are on their way to big things. Up next is a division title and a spot in the playoffs! Usually not the most rational group to pay attention to but again, if the last few weeks are any indication, Cowboys fans have every right to be optimistic. This team has proven to be better than they looked six weeks ago.
A few weeks ago I was still optimistic, I still believed in Jason Garrett when many people were calling for him to be fired. Sure, my confidence was waning but I still believed he was the right choice for the Cowboys. I still believe that. Garrett has done a masterful job over the past month or so in getting his team to continue to believe in his 'process' of winning football and that's exactly what they've done.
Also, two weeks ago the season didn't look good. A game on the road against a tough Cincinnati Bengals team who was on fire, coupled with a tragedy the day before the game and then a home game against the physically and mentally superior Pittsburgh Steelers did not bode well for a team who has been known to fade in December. I actually picked them to lose both games, not because they weren't improving but because I didn't think they were as good as the Bengals or Steelers.
Dallas won both games and here they are, sitting at 8-6 and tied for the NFC East lead. Win out and they are division champions, where the playoffs await them for the first time since 2009. It's no easy task, the high scoring New Orleans Saints and the rival Washington Redskins are their remaining opponents.
So, are you a believer or not? After the past few weeks it's hard to pick against them but I might have to, you know, superstition and all. The Cowboys have given you no reason not to believe in recent weeks and if you don't believe, I have to ask, why the heck not?
They've made a believer out of me.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – An Indiana man is facing charges after police say he caused the injuries that killed his girlfriend's child.
At around 11:30 p.m. on Friday, March 28, IMPD's Child Abuse Unit was notified that a 16-month-old had been taken to Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health unresponsive with possible brain trauma.
Detectives spoke with the child's mother and her live in boyfriend, Sethe Sutliff. The mother said that the child was fine in the morning and in the afternoon after being picked up from a babysitter's. The mother later left for work, leaving the child and Sutliff at the apartment.
According to court documents, the mother checked in while she was at work and Sutliff said everything was OK. He then called her around 9 p.m. and was hysterical. He said the child "had gone limp and was not responding." She said Sutliff hung up and called 911, while she rushed home.
Detectives then spoke with Sutliff. He said the child fell on his face after his mother left for work, but the child didn't cry and there was no blood. Sutliff says the child took a nap and woke up crying around 8:30 p.m. After he went to change his diaper, Sutliff says the child fell backwards, hitting his head, and then started having a seizure. After he called 911, he says he started performing CPR on the child, based on directions from the 911 dispatcher.
The next day, a child abuse pediatrician at Riley said the child's injuries were "characteristic of abusive head trauma," and that the amount of brain tissue that was damaged was "consistent with a significant delay in medical intervention."
Detectives later spoke with Sutliff, who then said the child fell from his arms after he tripped on clothing in the hallway. He told detectives he "didn't want to get in trouble."
Police said the injuries the child had wouldn't have been caused by simply falling from Sutliff's arms. Detectives found evidence in the apartment, including a "pack and play" with a broken wood panel and possible blood on it. When Sutliff was asked if he threw the child into the "pack and play" he said yes.
Sutliff went on to say the child wouldn't stop crying and he became frustrated before throwing the child. He said he had a history of difficulty controlling his anger, court documents said.
Sutliff was placed under arrest. He called his mother to say what happened and said he "just got so frustrated and lost control….I didn't mean to."
Police were told by Riley Hospital officials on Sunday that the child had died as a result of the injuries sustained. An autopsy performed on April 1 showed the child suffered blunt force trauma to the head which was the cause of death.
Sutliff faces murder, battery and neglect of a dependent charges.

Margaret and Pattie filled three bags full of shells. Their glass is always half full. Margaret and Pattie are always full of good energy. We spent the first half of the trip on a newly formed sandbar in the Gulf of Mexico. It was a blast and full of many shells - worm shells, tulips, horse conchs, fighting conchs and more worm shells. It was a great experience with two experienced beachcombers. Next we traveled to a beach empty of people but full of shells. Margaret was in heaven! She loves finding the unique creatures from the sea as well as the shells. Pattie is also a great collector of beach items. She has a good eye for just what she wants. It was a wonderful trip with two fellow beachcombers. I look forward to our next time on the beach exploring. Thank you Margaret and Pattie!

The market's tumultuous week ended lightly, as the Dow Jones industrial average fell .2%, or 21.61 points, to 9,487.67, while the Nasdaq composite index lost .5%, or 9.37 points, to close at 2,048.11. The S&P 500 index slipped .5%, or 4.64 points, to 1,025.21.
Friday's jobless report was worse than expected, but the investors took the news well. The Labor Department reported that the unemployment rate rose to 9.8%, while the amount of jobs lost in September reached 263,000. Although the official consensus on Wall Street forecast job losses to only reach 175,000, data over the past week led many investors to ready for a reading that exceeded 200,000. Furthermore, any negative reaction was already absorbed by Thursday's large fall. (See "Street Gets Spooked.")

When it comes to places to visit on my bucket list, near the top is the Alibaba Motel even though I have lived since 1989 a few miles from the Costa Mesa landmark known for its inviting dome roof.
The delay in fulfilling that wish may owe to the, uh, colorful, dentally impaired tweakstes found wandering around that general location (2250 Newport Blvd.).
Actually, I believe I first became intrigued by the Aladdin-worthy joint while being driven past it as a kid, when there was no Costa Mesa (55) Freeway and Newport Boulevard was the way we inlanders hit Newport Beach.
Nowadays, it's not exactly the glamor part of town (if there even is one up here on Goat Hill), and now comes word from the city that the 42-room motel just logged code violations in half of its rooms. Of course, if you look at the motel as half full …
Costa Mesa code enforcement officers issued $3,150 in fines and 54 notices of violation to the Alibaba Motel owner during an inspection earlier this month, according to a release from the city.
"The Alibaba was fined $3,150 for 21 rooms that had insect problems or smoke detectors that did not work," reads the release. "The motel owners were also put on notice for 54 other violations, including illegal remodeling, improper cleanup of construction materials, and illegal storage of furniture."
Costa Mesa is on a mission to clean up motels "that generate the most police and fire calls," according to the statement, which notes code enforcement officers issued $19,000 in fines and a $23,000 fix-it citation to the 236-room Costa Mesa Motor Inn in August.
In the past year, the city has inspected 10 of the 12 motels in Costa Mesa that generate the most public safety calls, and code enforcement intends to get to them all by the end of the year.
Here's hoping Mr. Baba or whoever the owner is turns things around before the inspection process begins anew in 2014. Wouldn't want an excuse to erase that place from the ol' list.

Media training at Allied Force Command Madrid
From 16 to 17 November, Headquarters Allied Force Command Madrid was the venue for a Media Training event organized by the Force Command Madrid DJSE1 Public Affairs Office. The activity was held in consideration of the increasing role of the Media in achieving awareness and understanding of NATO's role and mission, and was characterized by a factual and practical approach.
Based on the concept that anybody can potentially act as a spokesperson, the training was dedicated to key leaders, experts and the members of the Operational Liaison & Reconnaissance Team (to be deployed prior to any operation with the mission to assess and evaluate its needs) in view of the upcoming Exercise STEADFAST JUNO 2010 to be performed in December this year.
The event was conducted over a two-day session, and was attended by about 50 people selected among the Headquarters.
The workshop consisted of collective briefings – focused on the Media landscape, the role of the spokespersons and interview techniques – and individual interviews and press points, given by a selected training audience. Every single activity was videotaped and publicly commented, so that all participants could share as much feedback as possible.
To make the whole training event more realistic, several role-players from the Headquarters acted as journalists asking questions to the trainees.
A prestigious military journalist – Mrs. Carol SAYNISCH – provided the necessary professional supervision and mentoring, therefore making the entire training utterly effective and profitable.
The activity was remarkably successful, both for the effective way in which it was conducted and for the benefits it has provided. All participants have treasured this valuable experience allowing them to improve their professional background and acquiring greater awareness on how to deal with the media whenever required to by the circumstances.
The multifaceted scenarios where NATO is increasingly called to operate, and the crucial role of the Media in supporting the Alliance in the pursuit of its aims and objectives, make this kind of training a crucial tool for the success of any mission.

Video: BP to attempt 'static kill'
Transcript of: BP to attempt 'static kill'
AMY ROBACH, co-host: Now to the oil spill in the gulf, where efforts to plug the busted well have hit yet another setback. NBC chief environmental affairs correspondent Anne Thompson is live in Venice , Louisiana , with the latest on all of that. Anne , good morning.
ANNE THOMPSON reporting: Good morning, Amy . The problem is some debris that they found in the relief well after Tropical Storm Bonnie passed over, and so crews have been cleaning out that debris and they hope by perhaps Monday night or Tuesday to start the static kill. It's the first in a two-step process to permanently end the well that has harmed so much of the gulf. As crews at the leak site prepare to run the final section of pipe in the relief well, Bob Dudley , BP 's soon-to-be CEO, tries to reassure a suspicious Gulf Coast .
Mr. BOB DUDLEY: We've had some good news offshore -- you'll know that -- but that doesn't mean we're done. We'll be here for years.
THOMPSON: At his side, former FEMA director James Lee Witt , who will assist BP in the long-term recovery. But Dudley said with no more oil going into the gulf, it is not too early to scale back the massive cleanup.
Mr. DUDLEY: Where there's no oil on the beaches, you probably don't need people walking up and down with hazmat suits. So you'll see that kind of a pullback. But commitment, absolutely no pullback.
THOMPSON: Portions of Louisiana 's commercial fishing waters are reopened east of the Mississippi River , including some shrimp areas. Patrick Hugh hoped he could get back to work, but the waters he trawls are still closed. Readying his nets, Hugh worries that when he can fish again, the delicacies he catches will never be thought of in the same way and never bring a good price.
Mr. PATRICK HUGH: People's not going to want to eat them. I -- you know, I would eat it -- you know, if they say it's safe, I would eat it, but a lot of people won't, you know. I mean, it's going to put a dent in us.
THOMPSON: Trust it at the heart of rebuilding demand for Louisiana seafood and restoring the Gulf Coast , as the government's man in charge made clear in Florida .
Admiral THAD ALLEN: We should not be writing any obituary for this event. Until the well is completely sealed, until we have no more oil on the surface of the water, until we understand where all the oil has gone to, until the beaches are clean, until the federal, state and local officials agree that the beaches are clean, we're still engaged in the fight and we need to stay engaged.
THOMPSON: Now, there is some good news this morning for Florida . The government says, because there is no evidence that the oil has gotten into the loop current and because the oil is degrading, they don't expect the oil to have any impact on southern Florida , the Florida Keys , or the Miami-Fort

Advantages of Water Jacket CO2 Incubator
Incubators, which are now common laboratory equipment, have evolved a lot since their introduction. Most of the modern-day incubators come with more advanced features which deliver a better performance, thus enabling them to be used for a wider range of industrial and scientific applications.
Among incubators, Carbon Dioxide Incubators are quite popular in research and development areas for tissue and cell culture applications. The Water Jacket CO2 Incubators has been specially designed to provide the perfect controlled environments where different variables like humidity, temperature, CO2 levels, etc are being monitored and controlled in a precise and accurate manner.
Just like CO2 incubators, Water Jacket CO2 Incubators are also widely employed in diverse domains like immunology and genetic engineering. It also plays a key role in protein synthesis and pharmaceutical companies for inventing new medicines and other vaccines used for humans as well as for animals. It is also used for experiments and researches related to cell and tissue culture and virology.
Normally, CO2 incubators use two types of techniques to maintain their reliability and functionalities intact. The most popular techniques which are still prevalent among CO2 incubator manufacturers are air jacket CO2 incubators and Water Jacket CO2 Incubators. Almost all Water Jacket CO2 Incubators come with a thick envelope around the incubator chamber which helps in providing superior temperature stability.
The use of Water Jacket CO2 Incubators also helps in eliminating contamination and cold spots in the incubator chamber. It is also very energy efficient, consuming less energy and not cooling down during sudden power failures. The large thermal mass of water jacket CO2 Incubators keeps them warm enough, maintaining the temperature level under control. It also limits the influence of external environment fluctuations affecting the incubator chamber during the growth of cell culture.
Most of the water jackets CO2 incubators which are available in the market combine precise CO2 gas control system, temperature stability, and superior parameter recovery characteristics, with innovative continuous contamination control technology. Water Jacket CO2 Incubators are available in standard or customized models, with microprocessor-controlled digital functions.
The level of sophistication of any lab equipment depends upon the professional expertise as well as the experience of the manufacturer in that particular domain. So, while buying Water Jacket CO2 Incubators, it would be safe to approach a well-established scientific equipment manufacturer for purchasing the required equipments to be used for research applications or industrial and commercial fields.

Facebook's "like" button is about to get a whole lot more expressive.
Chief product officer Chris Cox announced Thursday that the company is launching a pilot test of "reactions," a series of buttons to express a broader range of emotions.
Users can click "like," "love," "yay," "wow," "sad" and "angry."
But there's still no "dislike" button.
"We studied which comments and reactions are most commonly and universally expressed across Facebook, then worked to design an experience around them that was elegant and fun," Cox explained on Facebook.
Facebook has begun testing the feature in Spain and Ireland and says it hopes to roll out reactions to everyone soon.

Barn Owl Body Parts
The Barn Owl is primarily nocturnal and can be found in many areas across the world. The Barn Owl has lots of similarities with other raptor birds but you won't find a Barn Owl feeding on other birds or on fish. %%AFC-ADVERT%%
How Do Barn Owls Hunt?
The Barn Owl hunts by using its hooked beak and plunges its long, sharp talons into its prey to capture and kill the animal.
Barn Owl Facts – Eyes and Ears
Barn Owls have large eyes and exceptional hearing. A Barn owl uses its eyes to stop hitting obstacles in flight and its ears for locating prey with exceptional accuracy.
The Head and Neck of a Barn Owl
One of the many Barn Owl facts is that they can rotate their necks and look directly behind them. Barn Owls have immobile eyes so by rotating their head they can see more around them.
Barn Owl Wings
Their wings are large in comparison to their bodies which allow them to glide silently towards prey.
Barn Owl Face
The Barn Owl face is highly recognisable with the white heart shaped marking and flat face.

Glengarry Glen Ross (Manchester)
Glenn Meads • Blackpool, Bolton, Chester, Lancaster, Liverpool, Manchester, Oldham, Salford • 17 Mar 2010
WOS Rating:
It's a credit then to the Library Theatre's artistic director Chris Honer that he manages to coaxe memorable turns from his cast, which at the same time, do not blur into their movie incarnations. Glengarry Glen Ross follows a group of salesman who 'play' and manipulate not only their prospective customers, but also each other.
We watch in awe as Levene (David Fleeshman) attempts to grab one more moment of success, desperate for a great lead, teeth clenched in anticipation in this machismo filled dead end world of real estate sales. Dave Moss (John McAndrew) and Richard Roma (Richard Dormer) fill the air with expletives, as they too seek that golden lead which will not only secure their job, but also line their pockets.
With their cold-hearted and jaded boss John Williamson (Paul Barnhill) presiding over the proceeedings, success seems unlikely. Enter James Lingk (Leigh Symonds) an unassuming and naive man - shark bait for these ruthless men in search of a 'sit', followed by a closed deal.
Honer has managed to capture the claustrophobia of Mamet's brilliant black comedy and also retain an air of poignancy as each man falls at the mercy of another. He is aided by Judith Croft's excellent set design which alternates from a Chinese Restaurant (the setting for the deals) and the burgled, messy work environment where the drama ratchets up to fourth gear in Act Two.
Of the performers, Fleeshman evokes sympathy as the veteran with nothing more to give, Barnhill acts as a reminder that this is a broken and spent man and James Quinn's George Aaronow is brilliantly portrayed as his anger is mainly silent. Dormer and McAndrew embrace Mamet's dialogue with relish and the play bursts into life whenever they are on stage.
The first act is slower paced than the second but this does lead you into the narrative with all of its twists and turns which sees the mens' lives spiral out of control following the interval. It could do with being a tad tighter though and minor flaws such as a lack of overlapping dialogue does not do Mamet complete justice.
But, if you have not seen the recent West End revival with Jonathan Pryce or the movie version, Honer's take on these 'lambs to the slaughter' is brilliantly drawn. But even for a third-timer like me, there is much to savour in this blistering boiler room of a play.

I had an amazing year filled with learning, laughing, and growth. The yeshiva is such a welcoming community, no matter what level of hebrew or Jewish knowledge you enter with. I loved my teachers and there was a wide range of classes to choose from. The faculty is a real highlight of the program, their care for their work and for the students is outstanding. I felt welcomed and like I had someone rooting for me from the moment I stepped into the building. I would highly recommend the CY for anyone looking to spend time learning and growing in the heart of Jerusalem.

What does ballon mean?
Definitions for ballonbæˈlɔ̃
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word ballon.
The quality of a jump by which a ballet dancer appears to pause in midair
Ballon is the appearance of being lightweight and light-footed while jumping. It describes the quality, not the height or speed, of a jump. It is a desirable aesthetic in ballet and other dance genres, making it seem as though a dancer effortlessly becomes airborne, floats in the air, and lands softly. The name is widely thought to be derived from the French word ballon, though it has been dubiously claimed that the name was inspired by French ballet danseur Claude Balon, who was known for performing exceptionally light leaps.

Radiological characterization for decommissioning of nuclear sites and facilities is a key issue for the global success of such industrial projects, which imposes an efficient control of radiological hazards, cost estimation, planning and waste management.
A large range of evaluation objectives co-exist during a decommissioning and dismantling (D&D) project: doubt removal, identification of hot spots, spatial extent of contaminated materials, dose rate estimation for workers, monitoring of the decontamination work and final survey. At each stage of a decommissioning program or project, adequate radiological characterization is of crucial importance.
D&D projects are largely impacted by the contamination state of the facility or the site. However, until recently, little care was dedicated to this initial characterization. Deterministic numerical models might be used to describe the contamination distribution in simple cases. They deal with activation, migration, dispersion, etc. But most of the time, they fail to represent accurately the reality due to its complexity. Model parameters and hypotheses become too numerous to be handled correctly. The geostatistical framework provides probabilistic and reliable methods for sampling optimization, activity estimation, uncertainty quantification and risk analysis, leading to a sound classification of radiological waste. Numerous industrial feedbacks have demonstrated the financial benefit of applying this methodology before any remediation.
Using recent examples, this article aims at presenting the geostatistical approach and its added value in operational decommissioning and dismantling projects.

I had so much fun last month writing about one of my favorite characters that I decided to do it again. Zane Martin from A LONG WAY FROM EDEN is one of the few true alpha heroes I've written. He's brash, opinionated, and likes to get his own way. When his eighteen year old daughter Erin gets pregnant, he believes she should marry Tom, the father of her child. But Tom's mother, Meg Evans, believes love is the only good reason to marry:
"I'm here to talk about getting these two kids married as soon as possible."
She straightened at his words and shook her head. "Married? Not bloody likely."
When his plan for Erin and Tom to get married and make their child legitimate fails, Zane tries another tactic, one his daughter disapproves of:
"Don't worry about it?" She bit out the words in a tone he'd never heard her use before, her eyes narrowed and glaring. "You're threatening to have my boyfriend thrown in jail for rape and I'm not to worry about it?"
"Erin, he has to take responsibility for what he's done."
She took a step closer to him, her body shaking and her voice vibrating with anger. "What he's done? What about what I've done, Daddy? I invited him over when I knew you wouldn't be home and I took him to my room. He told me he didn't have any condoms with him, but I told him it was okay because I was on the pill."
Zane's gut twisted. This was his baby talking.
Zane eventually has to accept that Erin and Tom aren't ready to marry. But not before he tries to bribe Tom into marrying Erin – another douche-bag move. He's handling things all wrong, but he has his reasons. He apologizes to Meg and tells her why he'd been so adamant:
"I can't imagine anything you could tell me that would change the situation." She pointedly checked her watch.
Zane took a deep breath. "My mother had me when she was eighteen, in a time when pregnant girls gave up their babies for adoption and never spoke of them again. But she didn't. She raised me herself, supported both of us, and looked after her elderly parents as well. But a lot of people in that small town wouldn't let either of us forget that I'd been born without benefit of clergy. I don't want my grandchild to grow up thinking he's not as good as everyone else. I want him to know his father loves him."
Her eyes changed, softened, as she looked at him. "I want that too, Mr. Martin. Tom won't abandon his child and neither will I. He's my grandchild too, you know."
Zane's childhood has made him sensitive to issues about legitimacy just as Meg's past experience with an unplanned pregnancy convinces her that their children shouldn't be forced into something that will affect them the rest of their lives.
But behind Zane's threats and bluster, he only wants to protect his daughter, like he's done her whole life. He's fiercely protective of the people he loves. As he begins to care for Meg, he's overprotective of her, too:
"I'll get my keys."
"That's okay. The bus stop's not far. You must be tired too, and it won't take me long to get home."
"Right. As if I'd let you walk around in the dark and take a bus alone at this time of night."
She stared at him as if surprised by the forcefulness of his offer. "I'm a big girl, Zane. I can look after myself."
"I'm sure you can look after yourself just fine. In broad daylight. But after dark is a whole different story."
Her eyes narrowed. "Don't patronize me."
Just the thought of Meg standing alone in the dark at a deserted bus stop gave him the creeps.
Meg eventually discovers Zane's kindness, and the love he has for his mother and daughter, and for his granddaughter Anna when she arrives:
Baby Anna quieted the moment he picked her up, somehow sensing that he was someone she could trust. Zane felt a rush of love for the tiny bundle in his arms. She was so tiny, smaller than he remembered Erin being at this age, but then Erin hadn't been premature. He could almost fit Anna into the palm of one of his big hands.
I don't think there's anything quite so sexy as a big man brought to his knees by his love for his child. Or grandchild in this case.
Despite his lingering resentment toward the father who was absent his whole life, when he finally meets him, he can't bring himself to be cruel:
Zane held on tightly to the old man's hand. In that moment he felt years of anger and resentment melt away. His questions had been answered. His father hadn't forgotten him.
"Please, don't cry… Dad." The word felt foreign on his tongue. "I've had a good life. I have a wonderful mother who loves me, a beautiful daughter, and a new granddaughter." He looked at Meg and she gave him a tremulous smile, a sheen of tears in her eyes. "I have wonderful friends. I wish we could have met earlier, but I'm grateful for the time we have now."
The old man looked up at him and managed a watery smile. "Thank you, son."
So that's Zane Martin. I hope you enjoyed my little introduction!
Zane Martin's teenage daughter is pregnant. Meg Evan's son is the baby's father. Because Zane grew up not knowing who his father was, he'll be damned if he'll let his grandchild live with that shame. Meg was forced into an abusive marriage because of an unplanned pregnancy, so she knows that love is the only good reason to marry. Neither Meg nor Zane expects or welcomes the attraction that sparks between them. As they await the impending birth of their grandchild, old wounds open and long hidden family secrets come to light. The young couple builds a newer, stronger relationship, while Meg and Zane reach for a love passionate enough to overcome the past–if they're strong enough to trust it…and each other.

Loans are not gifts that come with no conditions, no restrictions and free of cost. And when you pass the problem about the history of bad credit, or no history at all; then it may be a real gamble to win. Getting auto car loans is as difficult as any other type of loan, and people who are in a situation of wood due to their history of bad loans are certainly required for certain additional efforts in order to overcome it. Now you must prove yourself a good borrower before you can successfully obtain approval for the car.

However, no credit check car loans is one of the easiest and simplest loans of cars that can be availed without falling in much trouble.

Find out the list of car loans providers in your area, and then check those also offer no credit check car loans. Once you have a list of all the companies offering no credit loans, you should check or review their offerings. Don't forget to compare interest rates and down payment amounts. If payment of a company that provides low interest rates is high, you can go to there: it is a possible option, and better to be used.
With regard to the amount of down payment, you can wait two or three months to increase your savings to be able to obtain the necessary amount with you. You can also order the quantity of one of their close family members of friends if you want to get the car urgently. The only thing to keep in mind is to choose the treatment that not only suit, but also really give a stress-free time in the future. Think outside the box and choose the correct company, I try to right; and is there ready to enjoy the benefits of no credit check car loans!

Today we celebrate the vision, inspiration, and transformative power of one man, a dream, and a movement that was created by that dream. Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
Today we find a country struggling to find its next compelling dream for its future.
But as we reflect back on the positive hope and change that MLK brought from an idea into reality, it is clear that one person can make a difference in the world.
Looking into your life. Your past. And your future. Imagine the possibilities. Imagine a positive, compelling vision for your life. Imagine how that vision could transform those around you and make the world a better place.
In your life there are many ways to make that positive vision impactful in the world. Whether it is through your leadership in your job. Or growing your business to positively benefit more people – your clients, your employees, your family, and their families. Or it could be through your gifts of time and money to charitable causes you value.
Whatever it is, use today to plan, take action, and pursue that vision.
Here's some things you can learn from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his life and values.
1. An inspiring vision (dream) can move mountains.
Without MLK there would be no discussion of lack of racial diversity in the Oscar nominees this year. There would be no "Black Lives Matter". There would be no black President of the United States. There would be no Tiger Woods. There would be no Michael Jordan. There would be no Ben Carson, world renowned brain surgeon and Presidential nominee.
You've seen inspiring leaders. You've heard their speeches. You've seen the power of Steve Jobs and what he created at Apple. More than an electronics creator, he created raving fans who would buy Apple just for the status that was Apple.
What are you passionate about?
2. Develop powerful networks
If you are going to make a difference, you can't do it in a vacuum. You need to connect with others who can help take your vision to a larger audience to make a bigger difference than you could do on your own.
You see this with YouTube cat videos that go viral. You see it with New York Times and Amazon Bestsellers. You see it in politics and business.
Once you've found your passion, your vision, how can you get the message out?
Is it a blog? Is it YouTube videos? Is it connecting through industry associations? Can you give presentations or speeches? Can you connect through community or church groups? How about reaching out to other influencers or connectors who you can share your vision with?
3. Prepare for Resistance
I'd love to tell you your journey will be all roses and unicorns. But the roses have thorns and the unicorns aren't always where you want them to be and they have horns too if you don't watch out.
In the real world things don't always go as planned. There are also those out there who resent you and your dreams (think people who play the lottery on a weekly basis – I know you probably played the big 1.5 Billion Powerball lottery…I'm not talking about you). And they'd love to see you fail. And tell you "I told you so." whenever you falter.
So plan for that. Plan for Mr. Murphy (of "Murphy's Law" fame). Know that things will go wrong and have backup plans in order. Also make sure you're taking care of yourself. Your health. Your personal relationships with friends and family. It doesn't do you any good if you don't have the support network and energy to battle through those challenging times.
4. Persist
Never give up. If you do, you will take your vision farther than anyone thought possible. It is those who persist who get results. It is those who persist who move mountains. It is those who persist who change the world.
I wish for you that power, that passion, that purpose that will make you and your life something special and powerful for you and the world around you.

Today the Church celebrates the feast of one of the earliest Franciscan saints and a Doctor of the Church, Saint Anthony of Padua. More than aiding one to find lost articles, St. Anthony led a remarkable life that was spurred by an encounter he had with the Franciscan protomartyrs.
St. Anthony was born into a prominent family in Lisbon, Portugal in the year 1195. At the age of fifteen, he joined an Augustinian monastery where he studied intensely and was ordained a priest. His life was changed forever, however, when he encountered the bodies of the first Franciscan martyrs who had been tortured and beheaded in Morocco for their preaching.
Inspired to preach the Good News like the Franciscan protomartyrs, St. Anthony gained permission to leave the Augustinian Monastery and become a Franciscan. He then went to Morocco where he became ill and was forced to return to his homeland. On his return journey, however, strong winds forced him and his companions to land in Sicily where he eventually attended the Pentecost Chapter of Mats. Saint Anthony continued to live as an obscure Franciscan friar until he was asked to give a sermon at a meeting with a group of Dominicans. The depth of his knowledge and holiness shone throughout his speech and he was assigned to preach in northern Italy.
St. Anthony quickly became renowned throughout Christendom for his preaching which he nurtured through his deep prayer life and studies. He died at the age of 36 and was canonized in less than one year. Over three hundred years after his death, St. Anthony's body was exhumed and his tongue was found to be incorrupt, a testament to his teachings.
This early Franciscan saint is especially honored among the Conventual Franciscans who have custody of the basilica in Padua where his relics reside. They continue to promote education and study amongst friars especially those in formation like Br. Bernard Fonkalsrud OFM. Conv. who said, "the Conventual Franciscans have always encouraged our friars to seek to learn, inspired by 'il Santo' who was really the first Franciscan theologian and teacher. St. Francis entrusted St. Anthony to teach the friars, so long as it did not extinguish the spirit of prayer and devotedness. We can see products of this mindset through such examples as St. Bonaventure, Bl. Duns Scotus and St. Maximilian Kolbe." Br. Bernard and the Conventual Franciscans continue to lead lives inspired by St. Anthony of Padua who himself was inspired by the holiness of earlier Franciscans.

text: Jan 9 - Fitch Ratings affirms the following credit ratings of EastGroup Properties Inc. (NYSE: EGP) and assigns ratings to its operating partnership, EastGroup Properties, LP (collectively EastGroup, or the company): EastGroup Properties, Inc. --Long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'BBB'; --Unsecured revolving credit facility at 'BBB'; --Unsecured term loans at 'BBB'. EastGroup Properties, LP (as co-borrower with EastGroup Properties, Inc.) --Long-term IDR at 'BBB'; --Unsecured revolving credit facility at 'BBB'; --Unsecured term loans at 'BBB'. The Rating Outlook is Stable. The rating affirmations reflect EastGroup's credit strengths, including its granular tenant base, modest business risk and appropriate fixed charge coverage ratio. Offsetting these strengths are the company's relatively high leverage for the rating, sizable near-term lease maturities and relatively small size. The Stable Outlook considers the strong unencumbered asset coverage of unsecured debt, adequate liquidity ratio and conservative business profile. EastGroup is small relative to its industrial and REIT peers with undepreciated book assets of $1.8 billion as of Sept. 30, 2012. The company has historically been a property-level secured borrower but has begun transitioning to an unsecured funding structure. Currently, 78% of debt is secured; however, EGP's secured debt to undepreciated assets ratio is 34%, leaving a significant amount of unencumbered operating assets. EastGroup's portfolio is focused primarily in the Sunbelt region with over 86% of annual base rent derived from the states of Texas (30.9%), Florida (30.5%), California (17.1%), and Arizona (8.3%), as of Sept. 30, 2012. The largest individual market exposures by contribution to base rent are Houston (18.3%), Tampa (12.7%), Orlando (8.3%), San Antonio (7.5%) and Los Angeles (7.4%). Many of these markets have been negatively impacted by the recent recession and are prone to overdevelopment, which Fitch views negatively. However, this risk is partially offset by the relative strength of the Houston market through the most recent economic cycle. EGP's operating fundamentals continue to be mixed. Occupancy has improved to 94.3% at Sept. 30, 2012 from 89.8% at Dec. 31, 2010. However, rent trends continue to be negative and Fitch expects this pattern to continue over the near term, as expiring rents signed during the market peak continue to see negative mark-to-market re-leasing spreads in the current difficult leasing environment. That said, spreads have seen improvement during 2012, with negative rent spreads of 6.1% year to date compared to negative 14.8% in 2011, negative 16.8% in 2010 and negative 10.1% in 2009. Fitch expects the company will continue to experience negative, but improving leasing spreads well into 2013, given market forecasts for improved asking rents. Fitch notes that a disproportionate amount of 2013 lease maturities are from weaker performing Florida markets, which is likely to pressure same-store performance. This will be offset somewhat by sizable expirations in stronger Texas markets, as well as a reduction in expiring rents that were signed during the market peak. Same-store net operating income (SSNOI) growth for the third quarter 2012 was 0.8%, excluding straight-line rent adjustments, compared with 2.2% in 2Q12 and 4% in 1Q12. The slowing growth is attributed to the aforementioned weak leasing spreads and a reduction in the benefit from previous occupancy gains. Fitch expects that the difficult leasing environment and elevated lease expirations will pressure same-store growth in 2013 despite the recovery in occupancy levels. EastGroup's portfolio benefits from tenant diversification with the top 10 tenants representing less than 10% of annual base rent as of Sept. 30, 2012. The company focuses on users of smaller industrial space sizes - typically in the range of 5,000 to 50,000 square feet - which enables the company to maintain its extensive tenant roster with minimal exposure to any one tenant. EGP's tenants, whether national or local, tend to be location sensitive, and primarily distribute to the metro area in which the space is located rather than to a much larger region or the entire country. EastGroup's fixed charge coverage levels have improved in recent years, driven by growth in same-store NOI, ramp up of acquisitions and development completions, and moderating capex. Fixed charge coverage troughed in 2010 at 2.0x from 2.4x the prior two years. For the 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2012, fixed charge coverage was 2.4x and Fitch expects this metric to remain around this level through 2014. Fitch defines fixed charge coverage as recurring operating EBITDA less recurring capital expenditures (tenant improvements and leasing commissions) less straight line rent adjustments, divided by total interest incurred. In a downside case not expected by Fitch in which same-store NOI declines are consistent with EastGroup's performance in 2009 and 2010, fixed charge coverage would approach 2.1x, which would be weak for the current rating. EastGroup has been cautious with development projects and is prudently developing build to suit projects or buildings co-located to other properties that have solid demand and growth prospects. The company has managed its development activities such that the total estimated cost of its wholly owned development pipeline represented only 3.7% of total undepreciated assets, while the cost-to-complete was only 1.5% as of Sept. 30, 2012. Fitch would view negatively a material increase in speculative development, particularly if it were focused on geographic regions outside of management's area of expertise, although this is not currently a rating concern. Leverage (net debt to recurring operating EBITDA) was 6.5x as of Sept. 30, 2012, compared with 7.3x and 6.6x at Dec. 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Leverage is high for the 'BBB' rating due to recent acquisitions and developments funded with limited equity raises. Sustained leverage at this level could have negative rating implications. Fitch forecasts leverage to remain relatively stable through 2014 due to improving fundamentals, a normalized run rate on NOI from recent acquisitions, and stabilization of development projects, offset by incremental unsecured debt borrowings to finance investments and development. In a downside case not expected by Fitch in which same-store NOI declines are consistent with EastGroup's performance in 2009 and 2010, leverage would trend over 7.5x, which would be more consistent with a 'BBB-' rating. Although the company is small, it maintains 45% of its square footage unencumbered as of Sept. 30, 2012. As such, the company maintains strong contingent liquidity measured by unencumbered assets to unsecured debt. Unencumbered assets (calculated as unencumbered NOI divided by a stressed capitalization rate of 9%) covered unsecured debt by 3.6x, which is strong for a 'BBB' rating. The company has a base case liquidity coverage ratio of 1.1x as measured by sources of liquidity (unrestricted cash, availability from the company's unsecured revolving credit facility, projected retained cash flows from operating activities after dividends) divided by uses of liquidity (debt maturities and projected recurring capital expenditures) for the period from Oct. 1, 2012 to Dec. 31, 2014. If EastGroup refinanced 80% of its secured debt maturing through Dec.31, 2014, liquidity coverage would be 2.3x. The Stable Outlook reflects Fitch's view that EGP will maintain strong coverage of unsecured debt by unencumbered assets and an adequate liquidity ratio and conservative business profile that will result in credit metrics remaining appropriate for the 'BBB' rating. Fitch expects the company to maintain appropriate fixed charge coverage near 2.4x, and for leverage to remain around 6.5x. In addition, EastGroup has exhibited good access to the secured debt market and Fitch expects that the company will continue to access more unsecured debt and further establish itself in that market, which will provide additional financial flexibility. While Fitch does not expect near-term positive rating momentum, the following factors may result in positive momentum in the ratings and/or Rating Outlook: Fitch's expectation of net debt to recurring operating EBITDA sustaining below 5.5x for several quarters (leverage was 6.5x as of Sept. 30, 2012); Fitch's expectation of fixed-charge coverage sustaining above 2.8x for several quarters (coverage was 2.4x for the 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2012); Demonstrated access to the unsecured bond market The following factors may result in negative momentum on the ratings and/or Rating Outlook: Fitch's expectation of leverage sustaining above 6.5x for several quarters; Fitch's expectation of fixed-charge coverage sustaining below 2.0x for several quarters; Fitch's expectation of unencumbered asset to unsecured debt ratio sustaining below 3.0x (this ratio was 3.6x as of Sept. 30, 2012); An AFFO payout ratio in excess of 100% (payout was 89% for the 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2012)

Hey guys and girls, women and men, and kids of all ages. Sorry, I just heard a circus commercial and it's kinda stuck in my head. Also kinda fits, in an imaginary kinda way.
The Lower Suwannee and Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuges are hosting a community discussion at the Cedar Key Public Library on Thursday, Jan. 26 at 5 p.m.
The four hunters spaced themselves about 20 feet apart, in a straight line, poised at the edge of a wall of palmettos and gallberry. The leader of the group, pointing on a map, gave quick directions about his plan of attack: straight through, in a grid, a few hundred yards out, then reposition and come back, covering an adjacent swath of land.
This past October, the City of Cedar Key Commission gave preliminary approval for development of a horseshoe crab educational display to be located either in the City Park or along the railing, adjacent to the park on A Street.

The white-tailed deer is the most popular game animal pursued each winter by Florida's more than 200,000 hunters. But, there's another big-game species that's hunted quite a bit too and is especially popular with hunters in the southern and central parts of the state: the wild hog.

I really, really hate to say this but…on Friday I emailed the organizers of Dragon*con to cancel my appearance.
We had some scheduling issues here that made it look like I wasn't going to be able to go, but I was hope hope hoping, so I didn't say anything or cancel. Then that stupid hurricane happened and flights were being canceled left right and center. I was supposed to fly standby and it was very clear to me–thanks to the airline rep I spoke to–that I had the proverbial snowball's chance at making it at any point in the next week, really, much less Sun-Mon-Tues (my original plan), because of all the storm-stranded people who took precedence.
And at some point you start to wonder if the universe isn't trying to tell you something, really.
So I don't get to go. And I'm really just…I'm so sorry, and I'm so sad. Dragon*con is the highlight of my year, seriously, and I feel completely sick about this.
Fingers crossed for next year. I'm just…I can't apologize enough, and I'm just devastated about this.
