We're here to give you a complete guide to Havasu reservations like when permits go on sale, permit costs and pretty much everything else you need to know to obtain your all access pass to Havasu Falls.

Where to Stay at Havasupai Falls?
If you want to visit Havasupai Falls, you have two accommodation choices…

In terms of location to Havasu Falls, the campgrounds are definitely the closer option of the two.
Depending where you setup camp at the Havasupai Campground, you can be a few feet or .5 miles away from Havasu Falls. Whereas if you stay at Havasupai Lodge, located in the village of Supai, you are about a 2 mile hike from Havasu Falls.

Everything else you'll need to enjoy / survive the trip needs to be brought in by you – i.e food, camping equipment, gear, clothing, etc.
Nothing is provided or given to you at Havasupai upon check in (besides your permits), so if you want/need something over the course of your time there, you'll need to pack it yourself.

Tips For Buying Havasupai Falls Permit
We'd be lying if we said getting permits for Havasu Falls is easy. These permits are a hot ticket item and rightfully so. Based on our experience we're going to give you a list of helpful tips for buying your Havasupai Falls permit.
1) Make Your Account Ahead of Time
Before February 1st, you'll need to put in some work ahead of time. Pay a visit to Havasupai Tribe Website and create an account. You'll need to have an account in order to purchase permits for Havasu Falls.
We would hate for February 1st to come around and while everyone else is racing to buy permits, you are behind creating an account.
2) Be Logged In & Ready To Go
Cancel meetings, call into work and free up your morning, you have important things to accomplish!
Login to your already created account and be ready to go before the clock hits 8:00am because when it does, it's go time!
3) Know What Time It Is In Arizona
Arizona does not honor daylight savings time. The night before tickets go on sale, it is in your best interest to double and triple check what 8am Arizona time is in your time zone.
4) Be Flexible On Your Days
The best thing you can do for yourself is be flexible on your days. You honestly have no idea what months and/or days of that month are going to be available until you're in the site.
Have a range of months that you know will work for you and your schedule. Focus on that range and be ready to jump on whats available!
For instance, we focused on mid-September to mid-October. Whatever the first 4 days we saw that were available, we jumped on and bought.
5) Avoid Desirable Times
Avoid long-weekends like Memorial Day or Labor Day weekends. These are perfect 3 night / 4 day getaways for Havasu Falls buuuuut that is what everyone else is also thinking.
Try and book during non-competitive times, like during the week. Week days not only save you money but are often easier to reserve permits when compared to the weekend.
Also, pay attention to months that fall during Spring Breaks or Summer Break holidays. Families like to vacation during these times.
6) Avoid Group Buys
It's best to limit your group to a small party – think 2-4 people.
The bigger the party, the more permits you have to buy which adds another layer of complexity. The permit buying process is already stressful but to try and coordinate a group of ten is SUPER stressful.
NOTE: There is 10 person maximum per permit reservation.
7) Don't Give Up
We repeat, do not give up! When we purchased our permits, the website crashed on us 5+ times as we tried frantically for 2 hours to get our Havasupai Falls permit.
We thought for sure all the permits were sold out for the year but still, we DID NOT give up. To our complete surprise, once we were finally able to get into the site, there were permits available in the time frame we wanted.
Long story short, do no give up until you know FOR SURE that all Havasupai Falls permits are sold out for the year.

I'm just wondering which email address in particular seem to solicit a response from paypal proper?
My issue is... currently a two part trainwreck.
First issue, I have an amount of money sitting in pending, and after repeatedly going through paypal's webform, their customer service has done fuck all to undo the pending transaction. It's still pending because I apparently bought into an ebay auction that ebay had learned was a scam, they cancelled the auction/buy-it-now, which is why I cannot dispute it via ebay. And when I try to go the dispute route via paypal, I get a message about ebay prohibiting the dispute.
Second issue, getting bold-face fucked via interest that shouldn't have been charged. I've been using paypal credit for a few months, only because they... claimed... they would defer interest. And initially, interest was deferred, but now when I look at my early transactions, there's a fuckin' interest rate in their info that was not there when I initially used paypal credit. I've been paying more than their minimum deferral-interest payment damn near every month, but in spite of this, they've still been charging interest to my paypal credit account.
I've dumped both issues into paypal's webform, separately and together, four or five times now, and all I ever end up with is a CS-rep dumping some copy and paste on the situation and zero semblance of a resolution. Which is why I need to know which email addresses are guaranteed to get a response, albeit a resolution.
Thanks for your time all.

Although Operation Constitution ended with Juan Guaido's miserable and silent return to Caracas, and the capture of the four commanders of the ragtail Venezuelan Liberation Army (1), currently, in the Tona region, in the Colombian department of Santander, the "antennas" of the CIA and the Colombian officers of the Combined Military Intelligence and Counterintelligence-J2 continue the preparations to set up a subversive "focus" in the Venezuelan states of Tachira, Zulia, Amazonas and Apure. Their aim is to promote a civil war, which would then involve Colombia and therefore the immediate military intervention of the United States.
Satellite images of Venezzuela the night before (l.) and during the provoked blackout on 8th of March
Based on this perspective, on March 4, Vice President of the United States Mike Pence returned to the attack, recalling that "President Donald Trump continues firmly convinced of the urgent need to depose the government led by Nicolas Maduro, even with a military solution (2) and without international authorization!"
This scandalous statement was not appreciated even by the lackeys of the Lima Group (3), which again saw dissent from the Brazilian and Argentinean generals and also the disagreement of many Colombian senior officers.
In fact, on February 25, the vice-president of Brazil, General Hamilton Mourão, present at the meeting of the Lima Group, held in the Colombian capital, Bogota, reaffirmed to the amazed Mike Pence the contrary position of the Brazilian military. General Mourão himself had earlier announced support, for the first time on January 23, immediately after the coronation of Juan Guaidò with the title of "Interim President" by Donald Trump.
This later pronouncement undermined the White House's belligerent stance, since General Hamilton Mourão, who at that time held the presidency in the absence of President Jair Bolsonaro, ruled: "Brazil and its armed forces will not meddle in Venezuela's internal politics!"
The position expressed by the Brazilian vice-president, General Mourão, at the meeting of the Lima group, influenced the position of the Argentine generals, who, despite the warlike statements of President Macri, categorically recalled that: "The Argentinean armed forces could only integrate a peacekeeping mission to Venezuela if it were voted for and authorized by the United Nations Assembly!"
In the Colombian capital - where the political climate is increasingly complex due to the economic crisis and the permanent state of instability caused by corruption and drug trafficking - the hugs and handshakes of President Iván Duque Márquez with U.S. Vice President Mike Pence have not convinced the generals of the General Staff, because after the ten-year and tragic experience of "Plan Colombia," no Colombian officer and soldier wants to risk their lives in a difficult "jungle war," especially with Venezuela!
In fact, only the explosion of a destructive civil war, which threatens to damage the oil infrastructure (wells, refineries and ports of embarkation), could convince the U.S. Congress of the need to intervene militarily in Venezuela and thus authorize the generals of the Pentagon to carry out a "surgical attack" against Venezuela.
Such an attack Admiral Craig Faller, head of the Southern Command of the United States Armed Forces (SouthCom), defined as "risky" last October at a meeting of the Senate Committee on Defense, because "... the Bolivarian army is structured horizontally, with about 2,000 generals commanding and controlling the different sectors of territorial defense."
Also, Galen Carpenter, analyst of the conservative "Cato Institute" and specialist in international military issues, in an interview with "BBC News Mundo" underlining the risks recalled that: "Although there may be reasons for internal division, it is certain that most of the Bolivarian army forces will mobilize to repel the invasion."
This argument does not suprise the officers of the FANB. In fact, in 2018, the Venezuelan general Jacinto Pérez Arcay (4), immediately after the decision of the Bolivarian government to replace the dollar with the Chinese yuan in oil sales operations, presented to the General Staff of the FANB and to President Maduro himself, a detailed study on the possible operations of SOUTHCOM, carried out to pave the way for the land invasion of U.S. troops.
Also according to General Jacinto Pérez Arcay and other sources of FANB military intelligence "... the first war operation of SOUTHCOM would be a surgical attack with planes and missiles against the air bases of Palo Negro and Barcelona and against the naval base of Puerto Cabello."
According to the head of the Pentagon, General Jim Mattis, to determine the dissolution of the organization of the Venezuelan army and thus encourage the possible arrival of U.S. marines with the function of pacifying and not fighting, the surgical aerial attack must be carried out on all military objectives of Venezuela without suffering any loss. In fact, for General Mattis, the organic dissolution of the FANB has always been the "sine qua non" condition to complete the invasion of Venezuela to establish a new government -- quickly and without serious losses. For this reason, the head of the Pentagon has always warned President Donald Trump that "... without this condition the attack could become a tragic adventure"!
This is an argument that General Jim Mattis has repeatedly reiterated to President Donald Trump, reminding him also that without the participation and especially without the logistics of the Brazilian and Colombian armies, the involvement of the "marines" in Venezuela would be extremely risky. According to some analysts, this position was one of the causes for his dismissal from the position of Secretary of Defense by Trump. It should be noted that even the generals H.R. McMaster, John Kelly and Michael Flynn, all hired and then fired by the president, had real quarrels with Donald Trump because of the political and military issues related to the Venezuelan issue.
War in the hands of the CIA
Consequently, Mike Pompeo - the grey eminence of the Trump government - without the binding opinion of the generals, was able to give the CIA absolute responsibility for the planning and implementation of all the subversive operations necessary to cause a deep and destructive crisis in Venezuela, capable of destroying the resilience of Nicolas Maduro's government.
With this in mind and having received the clear support of many "democratic" countries of the European Union, the Trump government has tripled the so-called "fund for the restoration of democracy in Venezuela," which now exceeds $120 million. To these must be added the funds for the "top secret operations" of the CIA in Venezuela, which according to some rumors are estimated at $800 million for the current year alone.
It is on this basis, therefore, that the CIA has been able to strengthen its collaboration with the Brazilian and Colombian secret services and with the Brazilian and Colombian military intelligence sectors, in order to understand what is happening within Venezuela. In fact, for Langley's [CIA headquarters'] analysts it is important to know to what extent the different sectors of the opposition are still credible, what kind of mobilizations they would be able to carry out and whether the conditions and the ability to create an "urban subversive focus" exist in the main cities of Venezuela, at the same time as the paramilitary groups would orchestrate a "rural subversive focus" in the states bordering Colombia.
The division within the opposition after the adventure of Juan Guaidò and the consequent inactivity of the opposing parties has pushed the CIA to resort to the action of cybernetic terrorism, which remains the only element of active conflict of this hybrid war, and which is increasingly isolated from the masses in political terms, including among the middle class.
Unfortunately, in the last 30 days, cybernetic terrorism has caused serious damage to the economy with various sabotage of transmission lines and electricity supply centres. In fact, on March 7, the first national power outage was recorded; it lasted 60 hours, paralysing all computer networks in the country.
This sabotage, however, failed to reduce the confidence of the majority of the population in the government. On the contrary, the "power outage" has caused greater discredit to the Venezuelan opposition parties, especially those who support the need for immediate political change and who use all forms of struggle, including violent ones. For this reason, and to mask the political failure, President Donald Trump and the grey eminence of the neocons (5), Mike Pompeo, reraised the flag of the military solution, stimulating the psychological warfare of the media, hoping to resurrect the opposition.
At this point, the political situation in Venezuela raises three questions: 1) Why do President Donald Trump and the NeoCon group, even though they know that the opposition is practically de-legitimized, insist on urgently and at all costs deposing Nicolas Maduro's government?
2) Why did Mike Pompeo consider the subversive project formulated by the CIA (progressive economic destruction of Venezuela) to be "interesting"?
3) Why did John Bolton dismiss the opinion of the Pentagon generals, according to whom the development of subversive actions would strengthen Maduro's position and the role of the Bolivarian army, annulling the peacemaking mission of the American "marines" and the possibility of "re-establishing democracy" without incurring casualties?
To answer these questions it is necessary to resort to the analyses of some political scientists, specialized in "geostrategy of the dominant blocks". In particular, those of the Brazilian professor, José Luis Da Costa Fiori (6), who, in August 2018, published an article in which he analyzed the new role of the so-called "Hybrid War", as an integral part of the geostrategic policy of the government of Donald Trump, understood as an extreme attempt to impose U.S. control over all states of the Latin American continent through a war of low intensity.
In fact, for Professor Fiori, the term "Hybrid War" identifies the evolution of the traditional military solution (bombing and invasion by marines) and the historic attempt at a coup d'état, with a "Fourth Generation War" in which the State Department, the CIA and the White House coordinate a simultaneous series of attacks (economic, legal, financial, diplomatic, media, political, psychological, subversive and cybernetic), with the aim of destabilizing the government of Nicolas Maduro, demobilizing the Chavista movement and, above all, tearing apart the Bolivarian armed forces.
The urgency of a 'Hybrid War'
The key element of this "Hybrid War" is the urgency of Donald Trump's imperialist government to set in motion "at all costs" the complex multiplicity of subversive elements of this "low intensity war," where the main objective would be to carry out an apparent spontaneous popular rebellion, capable of absorbing the main branches of the army and the most dynamic workers sectors of the state energy and oil companies.
Therefore, if we consider that the so-called "complex subversive multiplicity" has its time to assert itself in the Venezuelan political-institutional context, it is evident that it cannot be improvised, nor can it be accelerated. The most obvious example was the failure of the "Operation Constitution."
In fact, the government of Donald Trump, after the Bolivarian government succeeded in circumventing most of the financial sanctions, opportunistically played the card of "interim president," hoping that the opposition would be able to achieve a "color revolution", with which to impose a new government totally dependent on the White House and the multinationals.
In reality, the CIA, the State Department and the White House have tried to carry out a second "Operation Maidan"(7) south of the equator.
The failure of this project exacerbates more and more the criticism of the U.S. oil companies linked to Rex Tillerson, a manager of the multinational Chevron, who was also hired and then fired by President Trump. In fact, the discontent of U.S. oil companies is due to the fact that without the 1.3 million barrels of Venezuelan oil, they are now forced to import it from Saudi Arabia at higher prices. Before the sanctions decreed by Trump against PDVSA, all refineries in Texas used Venezuelan oil.
On the other hand, Trump's sanctions did not paralyze PDVSA's production, as OPEC fixed new production quotas with higher prices and China and India immediately signed new purchase contracts with PDVSA, buying all the quantities of oil that were previously destined for the United States through CITGO Petroleum Corporation. It should be noted that PDVSA's new contracts were not signed in dollars but in Yuan, the Chinese currency currently used by Russia, China and India in bilateral trade.
The use of the Yuan, as well as the cryptomoneta created by the Bolivarian government, is, in fact, the real reason for the geo-strategic urgency of the White House in destabilizing the government of Nicolas Maduro, which with this type of trade transactions helps to weaken the power of the dollar in the world financial market.
It is imperative to remember that the U.S. war of aggression against Iraq, as well as the war against Libya broke out when Saddam Hussein and then Gaddafi tried to get out of the dollar area by selling U.S. debt securities to buy gold, silver, diamonds, and then use the euro as a base currency in the sale of oil and gas.
At this point we must not forget that 15 days before the "humanitarian" attack on Libya by NATO planes, the Bank of England appropriated Libya's gold reserve denying President Gaddafi the right to transfer it to the Central Bank of Tripoli. It may be a coincidence, but the Venezuelan government also suffered the same "expropriation" by the Bank of England, when President Maduro requested the repatriation of the gold reserve of Venezuela, deposited in that bank since the seventies!
The last justification for the urgency of the "Hybrid War" concerns the attempt by the USA to interrupt the presence of Chinese and Indian companies in Venezuela. There presence guarantees the Bolivarian state new forms of wealth by exploiting numerous mineral deposits, in particular those of coltan and gold (8), and the realization of large infrastructure projects.
A presence, above all the Chinese one, which the White House considers a danger, since all over Latin America China's companies provide a possible alternative to the rigid rules imposed by the IMF and by the U.S. and European multinationals, as well as presenting enviable technological solutions that break the hegemony of the Wall Street conglomerates.
This context allows us to discover a second coincidence with Nicaragua, when Chinese companies should have started work on the construction of a second channel that will link the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific. In Nicaragua, as in Venezuela, the opposition began to challenge Daniel Ortega's government, wanting at all costs to renounce it in the name of the so-called "democratic change"!
Resistance and fighting preparation of the FANB
The great geostrategic reform and restructuring of the national defence system that President Hugo Chavez implemented, immediately after the failed coup d'état of 2002, was considered by all the successive administrations in the White House an authentic act of war. The military strengthening of the Venezuelan armed forces, wanted and coordinated by Commander Chavez himself, started a conflict, which the United States government has accentuated in the last ten years. With the government of Donald Trump, this latent conflict that then turned into a silent low intensity war.
However, the main reason for the conflict that prompted the Pentagon generals to consider the Bolivarian state "as irrecoverable as the Cuban state" is of a strategic as well as military nature. In fact, the new concepts of territorial defense and the new mechanisms of military organization that President Hugo Chavez introduced into the Venezuelan armed forces, have wiped out with crazy speed the organizational methodologies and theoretical concepts imported from the military academies of the United States.
It should be remembered that in the 1960s, the Venezuelan army was considered the Pentagon's star pupil, presented as the model for all the armies of the South American continent. However, Commander Chavez - following the experience of the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR) - in addition to the theoretical foundations, modified the entire structure of the defence system. Chavez invested several billion dollars to buy new technologically more advanced weapons and equip all the units, including the departments of the "Milicia," with a system of communications of the latest generation.
The war material produced by Russian companies immediately after the end of the Cold War have exceeded the war efficiency of many military industries of the United States or the countries of the European Union. This is the case with the Sukhoi fighter bombers and especially the S-300VM Air Defence Radar and Missile System, produced by the Russian company Antey-Almaz.
The most important element of the geo-strategic and military reform of Chavez is not only the introduction of new technologically advanced weapons, but, above all, the structuring of the war potential in the new lines of defense drawn in the country. Moreover, the great innovation was the creation of the Air-Space Defence Command (CODAI), which is the operational branch of defence subordinated, in a direct line, to the Operational Strategic Command (CEOFANB), with headquarters in Caracas.
Therefore, with the application of a new conception of territorial defence, understood as a fundamental element of the political alliance of the armed forces with the people, it was indeed easy to transform the ancient army - which was subject to the despotic intentions of the oligarchies - into a genuine popular army, in permanent mobility to defend the sovereignty and legitimacy of the Bolivarian government.
This condition allowed the rapid intellectual and political growth of the corps of officers and conscripts, promoting the formation of a National Bolivarian Militia, perfectly armed and organized to integrate the system of national territorial defense to the side of the FANB (Bolivarian National Armed Forces).
As in the Cuban FAR and in all the armies that were born to defend a revolutionary perspective, also in the FANB the element that most distinguishes its organization and structure is, without doubt, the political combat preparation. This preparation transforms the soldier and the officer into an active political subject and present in the evolution of the social and economic context of the country. For this reason, all the appeals of the opposition for a mass desertion or for a coup against the Bolivarian government of Nicolas Maduro have failed.
However, the element that most irritated the Pentagon generals was the decision of President Nicolas Maduro to install the S-300VM Air Defence System in all border regions. In this way any attempt of penetration in the Venezuelan airspace by missiles, spy planes or fighter-bombers is immediately detected by the radars, which have an effective reading capacity up to 10.000 meters of height and 300 linear kilometers.
Those who seek to violate Venezuelan airspace without authorization are shot down by the anti-aircraft defense system, which consists of five lines of fire: 1) 20mm and 40mm anti-aircraft guns; 2) MANPADS Igla5 portable missiles with a range of 5.000m.;3) Missiles S-125 PECHORA 2M with range 20.000m; 4) Missiles BUK-2ME with range 25.000m.; 5) Missiles S-300VM with range 30.000m.).
A context that has always been present in the difficult meetings of generals Jim Mattis and John Kelly with Donald Trump and Mike Pompeo on the need to carry out a "surgical bombardment" with which to destroy the strategic objectives of Venezuela. In fact, Donald Trump and Mike Pompeo, having no knowledge of military technology, never understood that with the creation by the Venezuelan CODAI (Command of Integral Aerospace Defense) of an efficient area of aerial exclusion (NOTAM A0 160/19) it was extremely risky to carry out aerial bombing missions. This is because all Venezuelan air space is protected by S-300VM missiles, including maritime air space extending to the islands of Curaçao, Aruba and Bonaire.
In fact, Venezuelan radars perfectly control air activity more than 100 kilometres from their borders. In particular, the airspaces of the Colombian region of Cucuta and the Brazilian region of Pacaraima, which, according to the subversive plan Operation Constitution, should have been the starting point of the projected U.S. invasion masked by the sending of food.
In practice the president Nicolas Maduro, following the orientation of Hugo Chavez, completed the installation of the batteries of missiles S-300VM in the whole country, protecting all the air space of Venezuela with a genuine umbrella armed with anti-aircraft missiles, guided by powerful Russian radars, able to cancel up to 300 kilometers any type of electronic interference.
At this point, given the impossibility of promoting a popular insurrection, making a coup d'état impracticable and an impeachment against President Nicolas Maduro unworkable, the men of the CIA try to exhaust and delegitimise the Bolivarian government with cybernetic sabotage (9), which is the last chapter of the hybrid war invented by Mike Pompeo and Donald Trump.
1- On February 1, the special units of the Army and SEBIN captured on the José Antònio Paez motorway the first two self-denominated Commanders of the nascent "ELV", the former retired colonels Oswaldo Garcia Palomo and José Acevedo Montonès. The other two "commanders", Antonio José Labichele Barrios and Alberto José Salazar Cabana, were later captured.
2- On February 4, the U.S. President, Donald Trump, in an interview with CNN, reiterated "...the willingness of the White House to depose the "Venezuelan dictator" even with a military solution ...".
3 - The "Lima Group" was formed within the OAS (Organization of American States) to diplomatically isolate the Bolivarian government and support the subversion of the opposition.
4 - Jacinto Péerez Arcay, General, exercises the position of Chief of Staff of the Command of the National Armed Forces.
5-Neocons (New Conservatives) is the group created within the Republican party by Mike Pompeo and John Bolton, who has always supported Donald Trump.
6-José Luis Da Costa Fiori is a Brazilian academic specializing in international political macroeconomics, who was an analyst at the BID (International Development Bank) and then taught for two years (2005/2006) at the University of Cambridge.
7- Operation Maidan, is the code of the subversive project that the CIA and the State Department used to overthrow the government of Ukraine.
8 - The Russian Central Bank was the main global buyer of gold in 2018. Specifically, it sold all the U.S. government bonds it had on its balance sheet, at the same time buying 274.3 tons of gold. In this way, the Russian Federation became the fifth largest gold holder in the world after the United States of America, Germany, France and Italy.
9- On Thursday, March 7, Venezuela was the target of a series of cybernetic attacks on the control system of the El Guri hydroelectric power plant. After the blackout, a new attack was orchestrated against the country, this time in the structures of the oil fringe of the Orinoco, the largest reserve of crude oil on the planet. The Bolivarian government said that this sabotage was carried out with a technology that only the U.S. government owns to generate a power outages across the country.

Turkish Airlines partners CNN on Quests's World Of Wonder
The show is a digital campaign, which will further raise awareness amongst business and leisure travellers on the different services and offerings of Turkish Airlines.
Starting this week through a partnership with CNN International Commercial (CNNIC), the sponsorship of Quest's World of Wonder sees Turkish Airlines billboards around every TV episode of the new immersive travel show.
Each month, the 30-minute show produced by CNN Vision, follows the inimitable Richard Quest as he visits a different destination to dig deep into its DNA, exploring what drives a city and the people who live in it.
The sponsorship also features a ground-breaking and stylish product placement that seamlessly integrates Turkish Airlines into the title sequence of each show, uniting CNN and Turkish Airlines in their shared passion for travel.
On digital, Turkish Airlines has exclusive advertising on a dedicated online destination within CNN Travel for the show and additional content about the cities that Quest explores.
In addition, a Turkish Airlines brand campaign will run across various CNN TV and digital platforms later this year.
"This partnership is a compelling combination of first-rate content, innovative creative solutions and clever use of CNN's various TV and digital platforms," said Rani Raad, President, CNN International Commercial.
"Turkish Airlines has an impressive story to tell about its ever-expanding customer offering, and with this project we're delighted to provide them the opportunity to share this story with the world through the various CNN channels.
As CNN continues to set the standard for the industry we relish working with partners such as Turkish Airlines who are willing to experiment with new ideas and go beyond traditional advertising solutions."
Turkish Airlines Chairman of the Board and the Executive Committee M. lker Aycı added: "We have a strong long-standing relationship with CNN and we know the series would be in safe hands with a seasoned traveller such as Richard Quest.
The series is a natural choice for us given the synergies in global appeal, reach and audience and with the upcoming opening of the Istanbul New Airport, more people than ever can travel with Turkish Airlines.
We fly to 304 destinations worldwide and the 13 destination which Richard selected for this series provides a real cross section and mix of experiences.
We hope viewers will enjoy the variety and take inspiration for widening their world."

I don't like the shape of my teeth
The natural shape of your teeth isn't something you have much control over so even though you may work really hard to look after them and keep them in great condition you still might not be happy with your smile?
You may just have a small number of teeth you are unhappy with or you may want to change your whole mouth? Porcelain veneers is a brilliant way to create a smile you will love. You can choose the size, shape and colour of the teeth you wish you change resulting in the perfect smile you always wanted.
While choosing veneers, we will always encourage you to take the shape of your face, your complexion and your smile line into consideration to ensure your end result suits you perfectly.
You may even have a celebrity smile that you love and would like to take some ideas from? We love to get as much input as possible from our patients to make sure nothing is missed when designing their perfect smile.
Many of our clients come to see us with evidence of grinding, which has gradually changed the shape of the natural teeth and is slowly worsening. We can help to rebuild the lost tooth, return the teeth to a great shape and give preventative methods to protect the teeth from further damage in the future.

One of the things that I stress to local economic developers and to mayors is the importance of understanding the local economy and how it fits into the region and to the world. As the overall economy is "reset" it is useful to know which type of jobs in the community are growing and which are shrinking.
My column in the Mississippi Business Journal this week discusses the importance of a business retention program. And while business retention is important for local leaders, it should be remembered that many jobs are not moving somewhere else they are disappearing altogether. Many jobs will reappear. Newspaper jobs, for example, will innovate. For example, who would have ever heard of a video journalist 20 years ago? Or even five years ago? The point is that jobs do not necessarily always go away, they innovate into something else. That's why retraining is so important in many industries. The person need not go away if the job goes away.
Below is an image that I retrieved from Scott Nichol's LinkedIn blog entitled "LinkedIn Winners and Losers: Industry Trends During the Great Recession. It discusses how our economy has evolved during the five years. A related blog on this subject worthy of reading is Mike Masnick's Economic blog entry entitled "How Job Loss Really Works: Jobs Loss Isn't Really Job Loss.
Finally, study the blogs mentioned above and the chart below, and then ask yourself this question: What would such a chart look like for the jobs in my community?

Father Daughter relationship must improve
Father Son/Daughter relationships need to improve
As a father, husband, hard worker there are times when I think about the balance of life and how I can improve my relationships.
With teenagers, they are moving into a world that utilises different technology than what I grew up with and can do things that I would never have dreamed.
So with these things they don't need me. So do they need me at all? YES
Basic life skills aren't available from any anyone else but their Father (and Mother).
One suggestion I heard yesterday is to make a coffee date with your teenager and get into a routine to keep this going regularly.
Listen to their opinions about life, politics etc. and not to judge them but to inquire why they see that point of view and open up the discussion (even if it is totally against your views)
This will help open up channels of communication.
It is not THE answer but eating an elephant one mouthful at a time!!
We continue to learn and grow as parents and people. Using a mentor and these tools may help you

The Leatherback Sea Turtle Could Be Making a Comeback
Is it possible that the world's largest sea turtle may soon be removed from the endangered species status?
The US government is collecting detailed information about a decision that would permanently change the conservation status of the Atlantic Ocean's leatherback sea turtle.
Leatherback sea turtles have been listed as endangered for over four decades, but fishing groups have sent a signed petition to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) asking them to remove their status to threatened under the Endangered Species Act.
Fishermen say better information about the turtle's population is important because rules about its conservation status directly impact commercial fishing.
On Monday, February 5th, the NOAA was scheduled to complete it's collection of information and comments, and is expected to make a unanimous decision about the turtles later on in this year.
The Atlantic coast of Florida is one of the main nesting areas in the United States. According to South Carolina Aquarium, leatherback sea turtles migrate through South Carolina's coastal waters. In 2015, the aquarium's Sea Turtle Hospital admitted the first live leatherback sea turtle in it's facility. The turtle, named Yawkey, was found stranded near Georgetown. Yawkey was returned to the wild less than 3 days later after being carefully treated with fluids, antibiotics and vitamins. Thank you to Sea Turtle Hospital!
Good Life Bracelets will keep you updated on the journey as the year goes on, so stay tuned!

Many clients or potential clients call and ask me if they have a "case". Every factual situation is different and every legal situation calls for different legal interpretation and the proper interpretation of Colorado case law and statutes. The most common type of personal injury case in Colorado and in most states is a car accident, motorcycle accident or truck accident. As I have written before, drivers in Colorado must carry $25,000/$50,000 Bodily Injury coverage (which protects you if you injure or kill someone else). This is not much in the way of coverage considering today's cost of living and medical bill expenses. One visit to the Emergency Room, after a car crash, can easily exceed $10,000. So, I also recommend that drivers in the State of Colorado carry a minimum of $10,000 in medical payments coverage. This coverage covers your medical expenses at the hospital and a possible ambulance ride to the Hospital.
3 requirements for a personal injury case
So, do you have a case? Whether you have a cases depends on basically 3 things.
- First, there must be liability which means there must be someone at fault. If there is no liability, then there is no case. For example, if you are driving down I-25 and veer off the highway and hit a tree due to no fault but your own, there is no liability and there is no at fault party to pursue. However, if you veered of the highway because another driver fell asleep and pushed you off the highway, then there is said to be "clear" liability and that other driver is "liable" or at fault. The first thing that you need to have a successful case is a case with liability where the other party is at fault for your accident and injuries.
- The second element of a case is causation. If the other driver or at fault party did not "cause" your injuries, then the case stops there and you have no case. So, the at fault party must have "caused" your injuries for that party to be responsible or liable. Liability and causation are the hallmarks of a personal injury cases and without both of these elements, then it does not matter how badly you are injured.
- The last element of a case is whether or not you have suffered injuries and financial damages. If you have the first two elements and have suffered injuries, then you can recover money damages in the State of Colorado. Colorado used to be a no-fault or PIP state, but changed to a fault state as the legislature thought this would save money and cut down on the number of lawsuits. Of course, it has had the opposite affect and things were arguably better for injury victims when Colorado was a no-fault state. In any event, the worse your injuries, the more money that can generally be sought against the at-fault driver's insurance company. If you have relatively minor injuries, your case may be worth less than $10,000 and we call those cases, minor, soft tissue injury cases. Usually, the insurance companies will fight tooth and nail when you have this type of case and it generally does not make sense to file a lawsuit when your damages are less than $10,000 as court costs and litigation can eat up this amount of money. It is normally better to settle the minor, soft tissue cases without going to Trial as it is always a risk to let a jury decide your fate. On the other hand, if you have more serious injuries, like a fracture, head injury, permanent scarring, herniated disc (s), then it can make perfect sense to litigate your case if the insurance company is not willing to settle, pre-suit in an amount that is reasonable given your injuries.
It may take some time to litigate your case in order to force the insurance company to realize that your injuries and damages are worth what we are asking for. A lot of cases do settle in Mediation which is where you and I along with the other side (the insurance company adjuster and maybe their lawyer) sit down with a neutral mediator and try to settle your case without spending more money in Court.

Over 40% of Ukrainians say NATO membership fundamental guarantee of national security
A total of 43% of Ukrainians consider NATO membership Ukraine's main national security guarantee, according to a study by Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation and the Razumkov Center, a political analyst of the Democratic Initiatives Foundation Maria Zolkina said at a press conference on Wednesday, an UNIAN correspondent reports.
According to Zolkina, in comparison with 2012, the proportion of those who think this way is better than any other security guarantees has increased more than threefold.
"The best stimulant to change the attitude toward NATO were the events of 2014 – people's focus on NATO as a guarantee of national security of Ukraine rapidly grew in May. Thus, only 13% of Ukrainians saw security guarantee of NATO membership in 2012, and in May 2014, the figure was 33%. As of May of this year, the number of supporters of NATO membership is 43%," she said.
According to the director of the Democratic Initiatives Foundation Iryna Bekeshkina, NATO issue "has moved into the center of attention, because it became clear that with such a neighbor as the Russian Federation, the problem of security becomes a full-length."
The study shows that the regional NATO support map has changed dramatically over the past years. In 2012, 37% of the population in Western Ukraine supported NATO membership, while 34% preferred the non-aligned status. In Donbas, only 1% supported NATO membership, 14% – in the center of Ukraine.
Read alsoNATO steps up support for Ukraine with Comprehensive Package of AssistanceNATO's commitment started growing in 2014. As of May 2016, 46% of the population in central Ukraine consider membership in NATO the key to the security (it was 14% in April 2012), in the south – 19% (in April 2012 – 7%). Sociologists also point out that the most significant growth in positive attitudes toward NATO took place in public opinion in the Ukrainian east. In 2012, only 2% supported NATO membership in the eastern regions in 2012, in May 2016 – 29%, in Donbas – 1% and 24%, respectively.
The poll was conducted on May 11-16, 2016. A total of 2,016 people aged from 18 were questioned in all regions of Ukraine, except Crimea and the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. The poll's margin of error is no more than 2.3%.

THIRTY-EIGHT minutes. That's the average length of time a high school guidance counselor is able to spend with a student discussing college-specific items. 476:1 The national average ratio of high school students to guidance counselors. $1 trillion in student debt that has eclipsed credit card debt for the 1st time in history.. College costs that rise 6-8% on average per year. A larger and more competitive applicant pool. These issues and averages are just the "tip" of the college planning iceberg influencing whether today's "modern" family will be able to actually afford a 4-yr college.
Much of this information has been penned already by many other authors, so I do not want to rehash something that has already been "beaten" senseless into the American public but rather highlight a few pointers that might help folks to mitigate some of their anxieties and fears. Our firm, the College Resource Center, has worked with thousands of families over the years on creating viable plans for how best to pay for college without going broke and while each family's situation is different, there is a common link amongst them- they are all very concerned with how best to approach what can be an overwhelming process.
Have a plan. If you don't, your plan will arrive in the mail when you receive your 1st tuition bill. Determine what your EFC (Expected Family Contribution) will be. This is one of THE most important figures to know and basically lets a college know how much per year you can afford to pay to have your son or daughter attend that fine institution.
To get started, you can use our EFC calculator at Free Trial to register for a free trial and learn not only what your personal EFC is, but how much it potentially could be lowered by. (Your free trial will also give you access to an eCalendar to help you keep track of important dates and deadlines in the college admissions process)
Use the promo code: "Impact" to receive 20% off when you purchase any of our 5 components and feel free to contact me with any questions you might have: firstname.lastname@example.com or 800 863-9440 ext. 277. Good luck!
COMING FRIDAY: More on EFC calculators, admissions deadlines, and more.

The day before we were going to pick up the cranial helmet I was full of doubts. Even though me and my husband made a decision to start the treatment there were still lots of questions to ask. Was it really necessary? Would wearing it hurt him? How was he going to play or sleep in it? Did we do the right thing? How would my family and friends' reaction be?
I had read so many articles for and against the treatment that my head felt like exploding. But I decided to follow my instinct. Seeing and talking to parents of children who had already started wearing helmets also helped a lot, as then I learned that it is not as bad as I expected it to be. And most importantly, I stopped thinking that my child is the only one who needed this therapy. But I had a feeling that he would be the only one wearing the helmet in the place where I lived. And I think I was right.
* * *
Day 1.
The little one wasn't pleased when the helmet was put on his head. I expected that, as he was never very keen on wearing hats. Seeing the grimace on his face I felt so sorry for him because I thought that it hurt him. On our way back I had second thoughts about our decision. I felt even worse when later during the day I took or rather was clumsily trying to take the helmet off my baby's head and he didn't like it.
Day 2.
I was getting better in putting on and taking off the helmet, but my baby boy was still not happy when I started to alter it on his head. Luckily, when it was on, he didn't seem bothered at all, which for me was crucial.
My friend came to visit me that day and because I hadn't mentioned to her that my little boy was undergoing helmet therapy I felt a little concerned about her reaction. I was prepared for her to be judgemental; I thought that because I kept blaming myself for my baby's head shape, so I assumed that everyone would be critical towards me. But it was quite opposite. She noticed the helmet straight away and we started talking about it like it was something we had already discussed before. She was very supportive, which was so uplifting.
Day 3.
My little boy had no problem falling asleep with the helmet during the day and at night time. After putting him to sleep at around 8 pm, he woke up at 11 pm, so I took the helmet off and he fell asleep again. So really I shouldn't have to worry so much. Today was a really good day.

Two promising football players (soccer, if you're reading this in the US) share an apartment, provided by the club. They get along really well. In fact, they get along so well, they end up falling in love and having a sexual relationship. But what about their future now?
LGBT movies seem to get a quicker worldwide release than regular movies. The only Swiss movie in the local library is this one. That says a lot. That said, it's not a bad movie. It's a typical coming out as gay in a homophobe environment movie, but it's also a coming of age young adolescent movie. And it gives you a bit of a look into the recruiting of promising football players as well and how being a great player isn't the only thing one needs to succeed.

About our store
The shop, which was the former home to a bank, was transformed by interior designer Kate Monckton into a derelict picture house, paying homage to local cinematic history (Islington was once home to nearby Gainsborough Studios where Alfred Hitchcock started his career as a film director in the 1920s).
Reclaimed cinematic memorabilia is set against original brickwork, and marble pillars and terrazzo flooring add a luxurious feel.
Heavy red velvet curtains, set lighting, and a row of reclaimed cinema seats allow you to sit in peace and quiet, reading a book or even watching a film.
All profits from sales in store go directly to us to help feed, clothe and educate children in some of the world's poorest and most dangerous countries.
We have frequent donations and deliveries every day, so it's rthwhile popping by, you never know what treasure you might uncover.

Brian Holmes, Claire Pentecost & the Midwest Radical Cultural Corridor Project
Friday, March 25
Nonstop Institute
305 N. Walnut St., Yellow Springs
donation requested
Cultural critic and blogger BRIAN HOLMES, photographer and writer CLAIRE PENTECOST, and other artists from the MIDWEST RADICAL CULTURAL CORRIDOR, a cultural geography project, will be speaking on Friday, March 25, as part of a spring series at Nonstop called INVIGORATING THE LOCAL—Conversations at the Intersection of Alternative Education, Open Media & Civic Participation. The presentation by Holmes, Pentecost and the Midwest Radical Cultural Corridor project will articulate geopolitical conditions while calling for agency and commitment to the local. Come and discuss recent events in Wisconsin and Ohio, networks, sustainability, small Midwestern communities, and events in North Africa and the Middle East.
Brian Holmes' blog Continental Drift and recent book Escape the Overcode: Activism Art in the Control Society (2009) have been described as "a unique weaving of theory, art, activism, geopolitics and geopoetics that offers us powerful tools for change." Claire Pentecost's work has long addressed the boundary between the natural and the artificial, leading her to explorations into industrial agriculture and bio-engineering, including her long-term collaborations with the arts collective Critical Art Ensemble (author of The Electronic Disturbance, 1994). And the Midwest Radical Cultural Corridor has networked with small communities in the midwest—Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana, and now Ohio—inviting its collaborators "to look at our collective existence on all the relevant scales: the intimate, the local, the national, the continental, and the global." See nonstopinstitute.org for links to projects and publications by Holmes, Pentecost, and Radical Midwest Cultural Corridor members.

Sit for an hour in any national airport and you'll see how each of us differs from others in a million ways, and of course that includes not only our physical appearances but our perceptions and opinions. Here's a poem by Ada Limón, who lives in Kentucky, about difference and the difficulty of resolution.
What It Looks Like To Us and the Words We Use
Month: September 2013
W. H. Auden: Musee des Beaux Arts
Today is the anniversary of W. H. Auden's death (Sept. 29, 1973). In this poem, Auden refers to several paintings by the Flemish painter Pieter Brueghel. Hopefully the images I downloaded will come out clear enough. Even without the paintings, the poem is remarkable.
Musee des Beaux Arts
About suffering they were never wrong,
The Old Masters: how well they understood
Its human position; how it takes place
While someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along;
How, when the aged are reverently, passionately waiting
For the miraculous birth, there always must be
Children who did not specially want it to happen, skating
On a pond at the edge of the wood:
They never forgot
That even the dreadful martyrdom must run its course
Anyhow in a corner, some untidy spot
Where the dogs go on with their doggy life and the torturer's horse
Scratches its innocent behind on a tree.
In Brueghel's Icarus, for instance: how everything turns away
Quite leisurely from the disaster; the ploughman may
Have heard the splash, the forsaken cry,
But for him it was not an important failure; the sun shone
As it had to on the white legs disappearing into the green
Water; and the expensive delicate ship that must have seen
Something amazing, a boy falling out of the sky,
Had somewhere to get to and sailed calmly on.
Herman Melville on Butchers of the Bloodiest Badge
|(Herman Melville, died Sept. 28, 1891)
Doubtless one leading reason why the world declines honoring us whalemen, is this: they think that, at best, our vocation amounts to a butchering sort of business, and that when actively engaged therein, we are surrounded by all manner of defilements. Butchers we are, that is true. But butchers also, and butchers of the bloodiest badge have been all Martial Commanders whom the world invariably delights to honor.

My flat is located on the 9th floor of an apartment block where a conventional air con unit with external wall ventilation was neither practicable or desirable. The only option therefore was the installation of a water cooled system.
After some research, I contacted ACS because of the proximity of their location and the fact that they had been the sub-contractors for the installation of similar system to other apartments in my block.
My initial contact the firm was with the managing director, Mark Humphries. His knowledge was impressive and he answered all my questions with precise facts and without any hint of a hard sell attitude. He arranged a site survey at a time of my choosing. The survey was carried out at the agreed time and again, no hint of a hard sell. The work involved was dutifully explained with an assurance that all disturbances will be kept to a minimal.
On the day of the installation the work began promptly and was completed in the agreed time allocated and true to their words with little disturbance. The place was left tidy with all packaging and debris removed from site.
The commissioning of the system was, at my request, left for the following day and Mark having detailed himself for this responsibility was on site very early that day. The process, once he has gone through explaining all the features, does and don't, was very easy. And once the air con unit kicked in, the transformation in the flat was magical from a sauna to a very pleasant living environment.
In conclusion, I confess I have no hesitation in recommending ACS highly enough. Not only was their work of an excellent quality and their quoted price competitive, they also showed a great spirit of flexibility especially when due to unforeseen circumstances I had to cancel at fairly short notices two previous installation dates. With regard to living with the installation and hardware, I have deferred to my tenant who is the beneficiary. He will write in his own words and style comments which I have no doubt will be just as positive.

Thor Ragnarok Trailer Is An 80's Neon Mind Melt
Marvel trailers always generate a bit of excitement here at What's Trending Headquarters (Trendquarters), but this Thor Ragnarok trailer is on another level, all thanks to director Taika Waititi, the masterminds behind such masterpieces as Hunt for the Wilderpeople and What We Do In The Shadows. Let's break it down, not unlike Thor's hammer Mjolonir breaks both enemies and social contracts.
First off, the trailer is absolutely fierce, with the introduction of Cate Blanchett's "Hela", the Goddess of the Underworld created by comic book artist Walt Simonson in his legendary 80's Thor run — we see Jeff Goldblum as The Grandmaster, and we see a certain green and hulking someone. Haha, can you guess!? Oh can you!? It's The Hulk! Thor fights him in space! Comic book fans were thinking the Hulk's disappearance could tie into the "Planet Hulk" storyline from the comics from a decade ago, and guess what— the fans were right! Good work… The Fans!
What do you think of this mind melting trailer? Let us know in the comments or on Twitter at @WhatsTrending.

Stone Age humans 'may have been budding musicians with piano-playing capabilities'
Scientific study has shown that the brain circuits that led to two-sided tools were the same as those activated when playing a piano.
Ancient humans who took a leap forward in stone tool technology 1.75 million years ago may have been budding musicians – according to new research.
But before you conjure up an image of a Stone-Age human playing classical music on the piano, let's just say that wasn't really the case.
The study, which was conducted by British and US scientists, showed that the brain circuits that led to two-sided tools and weapons such as hand-axes and cleavers were the same as those activated when playing a piano. Which means, if there was a piano in sight, ancient humans would possibly have learnt how to play it.
The switch from simple flake and pebble technology known as "Oldowan" to more sophisticated "Acheulian" tool know-how is considered a hugely important step in human evolution.
To investigate what brought about the change, scientists conducted brain scans of volunteers as they learned to make Oldowan and Acheulian tools.
They found that Acheulian tool manufacture required a combination of visual memory, hearing, movement awareness and action-planning – all essential ingredients of being a musician.
Professor John Spencer, from the University of East Anglia, said: "Our findings do not neatly overlap with prior claims that language and stone tool production co-evolved. There is more support for the idea that working memory and auditory-visual integration networks laid the foundation for advances in stone tool-making.
"It is fascinating that these same brain networks today allow modern humans to perform such behaviours as skilfully playing a musical instrument."
People living 1.75 million years ago had not yet developed any kind of sophisticated language, so the evolution of language circuits in the brain is not thought to have helped them upgrade to Acheulian tools.
The study used an advanced form of brain scan called functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to track the volunteers' neural activity in real time.
Fifteen of the 31 participants learned to knap stone by watching videos accompanied by verbal instruction. The other 16 acquired the skill using the same videos, but with the sound turned off.
Study leader Dr Shelby Putt, from the Stone Age Institute in Indianapolis, US, said: "This work offers novel insights into prehistoric cognition using a cutting-edge neuro-imaging technique that allows people to engage in complex actions while we are measuring localised brain activity.
"The study reveals key brain networks that might underlie the shift towards more human-like intelligence around 1.75 million years ago. We think this marked a turning point in the evolution of the human brain, leading to the evolution of a new species of human."
The study is published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour

Between Heaven and Ground Zero
Sintesi dell'editore
A Second Chance at Life: On the sunny morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001, terrorists murdered more than 2,700 people in an attack on New York City. Thousands died when a hijacked Boeing 767 slammed into Tower One of the World Trade Center. It was first blood. For Leslie Haskin, it was a second chance at life. This is the riveting account of Leslie's harrowing escape - down 36 floors in a doomed and dying building and away from a life focused on perks, prestige, and power. The intervening months brought crippling mental and emotional distress, but from the rubble and ashes, the corporate climber rediscovered the faith of her childhood and now embraces a new life of serving others.

Amazing Story
What did you love best about Between Heaven and Ground Zero?
Hearing the intensity, the emotion and the power of the author's voice as she read her own words conveyed the feeling and immenseness of this woman's struggle to survive and to come to terms with the tragedy and find meaning. Her spiritual growth was evident and it felt real and empowering to me to hear it as she healed and found her way out of the trauma of victimhood.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Between Heaven and Ground Zero?
The poem she read 10-0 was poignant and powerful, conveying the anxiety, the fear, the intensity and the tragedy as I myself relived viewing this travesty on TV that fateful September 11th, 2001 morning.
What about Leslie Haskin's performance did you like?
I loved her voice, her accent, both Eastern and African American. I loved the power of her words and the emotion filled punctuation of the book on tape--no one could have read it and brought it to life better than the author herself!
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
I love the title itself, which really says it all!
Any additional comments?
It was a bit distracting to have the scripture verses interrupting the story--spoken in an English accent, was a bit hard to take. perhaps it was the dialectic of the opposite between American and Foreign, between African/American and Caucasian English. It makes sense to read scripture, since it is a spiritual awakening, however, I didn't see the connection between some of the biblical quotes and the message she was telling. All in all, however, it was a powerful, pointed and extraordinarily courageous account of Leslies spiritual, emotional and mental journey from tragedy to triumph. I applaud her strength, courage and wisdom!

What is this? A survivor's story, or a sermon?
This is a book that wears two coats.
One is compelling, horrific, vividly told. It's the story of one woman's experience of being in the World Trade Centre on 9/11. It's dark, it's told in its completeness, it omits nothing. Leslie Haskin makes you feel as if you too were there, even though you don't want to be, among the disintegrating buildings and exploding flesh. She re-tells every second of her journey to work that day, the impact, and the endless journey down from the 35th floor to the ground. She tells it with total honesty, and plumbs the very depth of her being, and how her life changed forever.
The other is the story of Haskin's religious conversion, a direct result of what happened on that fateful day. For her, as a result of 9/11, her life not only changed completely but - in her perfect hindsight - was an inevitability. It's uncomfortable to live with, because on the one hand you feel that she is perfectly entitled to her conversion, having lived through something beyond even the nightmares of other people. But it often comes across as a sermon, and somehow seeks to remove the stain of 9/11 through one person's subsequent spiritual odyssey. Again, there's a discomfort here. It feels insulting to criticise, just as it would be to criticise a Jewish survivor of the Holocaust if they had written in similar vein.
However, she ends the book by translating her own spiritual journey to a generalisation about End-times and the Rapture, in which she believes. At this point most readers will breathe a sigh of relief, all discomfort flown, and see that what started as one kind of horror story, ends as a religious horror story.
If you listen only to the first two thirds of this book, it will be an unforgettable experience. If you listen to the whole thing, you will end in the church of your childhood, the one your parents may have taken to, and from which you couldn't get out fast enough.
Two additional notes. One: Haskin reads this with great emphasis, as if she is trying to convert you through the very way she speaks, like a preacher. It brings the first section of the book to life effectively, but it becomes tiresome when she moves into 'preacher' mode. Two: all the Biblical readings (and there are many!!) are read by a computer voice. Bizarre, or what?

Moorcroft 'Anemone' Vase
Signed by Walter Moorcroft
Circa 1950
Fine example of a beautifully hand painted large Moorcroft vase in the vibrant Anemone design. The vase displays very well and is unmistakably Moorcroft with an elegant fluted shape. The pattern is set on a pale green background with green interior and shows beautiful tube lined flowers and leaves in rich reds, pinks, and purples.
Approximate Measurements :
Height : 10 1/2" (27cm)
Top Diameter : 6 1/2" (16cm)
The vase in excellent condition. There are no chips, cracks or damages and the colours are bright and vibrant. There is some minor glaze crazing and a small chip on the foot has been professionally restored and is now invisible, so much so that I cannot remember where it was in the first place.
The base is impressed "MOORCROFT. MADE IN ENGLAND." and signed with Walter Moorcroft's initials which dates it to around 1947 - 1953.
The best description comes from the photos so please look carefully at them all and if you have any questions at all please ask.
