Review of chapter "The Dawn Arriving" from
I have read this story quite a few times and I find the same joy in it every time I read it. I really hope that you post a sequel to this, I'd love to read more about them!
Comments from author:
The sequel is in the works. I am so glad you enjoy it. I really enjoyed writing it. It was really outside my comfort zone and required me to find the characters very carefully.
I have written 1/2 dozen chapters for the sequel, but not the first few yet, so not ready for posting... but it's still eager to be written so it will be.
Thank you

Review of chapter "The Dawn Arriving" from
So sometimes I do this thing.
When an author I know posts a story but I don't think I'd like it, but then I read the reviews and they're all really positive, I read the last chapter. Bad Luna! I know :p
Anyways, this final chapter *was* really good. I love your stories because they're so love-centered - everybody's pairing up, positivity abounds, and its all really cute in a Full House type way except I don't despise it like I did the Tanners ;) Real feel-good fics, for sure.
I love the idea of Seeley Booth being Angel's descendent - I've never seen that and I totally LOVE it, especially because Liam was a bloody whore back in his human days, so it makes sense that he fathered at least one bastard.
Faith/Riley, Buffy/Graham is what I seemed to have picked up, which is interesting ;) I actually really like the latter pairing. Graham is so chill that I can see him totally being cool with a super strong super hot girlfriend, unlike Riley & his insecurities.
All in all, this was a really fun read. I will definitely have to go back and actually read it from the beginning like a normal person - however I severely doubt that you would ever be able to make me be okay with the Xander/Angel pairing. *shakes head* Nope. Tis 'ooky'. But the other aspects of the story seem like they may be enough to make me okay with a tiny bit of ooky.
Thanks for writing and sharing mi amor!
Comments from author:
OK... just saw this *after* I read your PM and was broken hearted... Blue is now kind of gruntled :-) I'm really glad that you read some of the story and found it at least a little bit interesting.
I always wondered why no one ever considered making Booth Liam's descendant... (I've only seen it once that I can remember and that story was 'a bit odd' (very oogie, actually) b/c the whole 'family' ended up sleeping together [Dru, Spike, Angel, Booth]). The whole Booth = Angel thing got old really fast for me especially b/c the two characters are really different, despite the same actor. Yeah, I do tend to make everyone happy ever after, don't I? sigh. Gonna have to look into making everyone miserable in my next story... ;-) In my defense, not everyone ends up happy ever after in my TFD story...
R/F and B/G is indeed the combination... I especially love my R/F combo... They may seem improbable, but I think they're good for each other! Yes, Graham always seemed like he was more the adult than Riley. Riley always seemed insecure and easily thrown off balance and a bit too impulsive for an officer in a secret project.
I do hope you will read it, however, I will warn you that, particularly in the early chapters, it's very much about X/A. I think you'll find that, despite following little Xander, Xander kind of agrees with you in the beginning... But there's more to this story than lots of creepiness... at least so I've been told.
You're more than welcome. Thank you for giving it a chance despite your misgivings. I do understand misgivings. Some combinations or subjects really do seem like a place too far.
Thank you for reading and reviewing.

Great Story!! I admit I was doubtful at the start, but it truly "grew" on me as I read and the pieces started coming together. Nice!
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Comments from author:
I really enjoyed writing this so I'm very glad you enjoyed it. I'll admit the beginning was a bit abrupt, but I've had 'sudden attraction' happen to me & I put them in a highly charged situation to bring everything to a head...
You're very welcome... Please read more! :-)

Review of chapter "The Dawn Arriving" from
I just found this story and was utterly enthralled by it. It's 'lucky' that I'm currently suffering from the flu, as it gave me two days off work to read the whole thing from beginning to end...
Amazing work; very well done on the characterisation and storytelling. This is the season I would like to have seen on TV!
One thing I would like to suggest, however, is that there is such a thing as taking attribution/acknowledgement of sources too far. It's rather disconcerting to be reading a story, engrossed in mentally visualising the action, only to come across a 'TM' trademark symbol after a word (I believe it was plasticine) and be jarred to a halt in surprise at the incongruity of it.
Likewise with the italicising of quoted text; to suddenly come across a section of italicised dialogue (two words, even!) stops the flow of narrative as we try to figure out why the speaking character is putting emphasis on those words. We realise that it's a quote, and try to re-immerse ourselves in the narrative, only to have the same thing happen again a line or two later. We know that it's fanfiction, the owners have been acknowledged, we've seen the episodes the quote came from, and probably read it in several other stories, so we know that it's a quote. To put special emphasis mid-story disrupts the reading experience. This isn't an academic paper; footnotes aren't required, class! :)
Other than that one minor quibble, brilliant work. I'm looking forward eagerly to the next story in the series!
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to spend more time than I can really afford reading everything else you've written... ;D
Edit: I recently read a couple of ebooks which had legal acknowledgements at the beginning of the book, like what you want to do. They were on the same page as the cataloguing/publication information, and said something along the lines of "Trademarks acknowledgement: The author acknowledges the trademarked status and trademark owners of the following wordmarks mentioned in this work of fiction: Harley: Harley-Davidson Motor Company' etc. The story itself then used the words like 'Harley' purely as normal in the narrative.
I noticed it as unusual in the first ebook I read by whichever company it was, and then it stuck in my mind when I saw it in another by the same company; obviously their standard way of doing things. You could do something similar for quotes by acknowledging "Selected quoted lines of dialogue included in this work of fiction are drawn from 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and used without permission. No challenge is intended to the copyright owners by their use." You could then quote away legally and ethically!
Yes, I read publication information pages and know about copyright; I'm a librarian, we have to be interested in this sort of stuff! You wanna make something of it? ;)
Comments from author:
I think that being told my work is enthralling has to be one of the better compliments I've received recently. Thank you. I'm especially chuffed to be told that my season three is something you'd have liked to see on screen. Blush. Happy, happy face. Sorry you were ill, but very glad that you got a chance to read and delighted you chose my story.
Sorry, if the italics/tm is jarring. I've always been bothered by the opposite. When I see a story where people don't distinguish what they didn't write, it feels like they're trying to pass off the words of others as theirs. However, I will move my TM to a footnote at the bottom of the page. As a creator of intellectual property, I may play with other people's stuff, but I don't feel comfortable not acknowledging it's not mine.
I guess I'm only doing what I hope someone would do if I were ever lucky enough to be published. And yes, my academic roots are showing. Strangely, I really chafed at having to insert all those in line notations for school. hehe.
I really hope you'll enjoy the rest of my work, despite my quirks.
Thank you for your lovely review.
Nope, don't want to make anything of it. Definitely not going to go head to head with a librarian. You know where to find all the good info!! I did go back and remove the 'TM'. I'd have to do an awful lot of editing to remove/change the italics in the quoted material, so that's probably not going to happen, though I will think about not making it stand out and maybe stop doing it... we'll see. You're the first person who has ever said anything about it, btw... for whatever that's worth. (smile)
Seasons Greetings.

Review of chapter "The Dawn Arriving" from
Excellent story! I really enjoyed this version of season 3--creative plotting, wonderful and believable characterizations, satisfying conclusion. The early introduction of Riley's team opens up interesting opportunities for changes in s4, as does the arrival of Spike and Dru as possible allies. As one of the few people who liked Wesley even in s3, I was thrilled to see how he developed here as a valuable member of the group. You did a great job with all the relationships, including the somewhat painful Xander/Jessica and Buffy/Angel interactions, which were very believable. Thanks for a great story.
Comments from author:
Thank you! I'm so glad that you found it believable and creative. I had a great deal of fun trying to follow my characters into their changing world... I've discovered that if you have characters make different choices, or experience different things, especially big different things, that it spreads out like ripples... in fascinating and often unpredictable ways... So doing the math to see where things will lead is half the fun... It's like pulling threads in a tapestry too... you end up with a very different tapestry/pond... I just couldn't believe the mayor would not know about the initiative and that he wouldn't consider them a threat. Wesley... well, I love Wes... He was such a berk in season 3, but he was also so much fun to watch and even more fun to develop. Knowing where he went in Angel was helpful, of course! Very glad you had fun with my characters/storylines... and hope you'll enjoy what's to come even more. So glad you liked my J/X and B/A bits...
I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with D&S too!

I just found this fic. It is GREAT!!!! I was also glad to see you were planning on continuing it. YAY! I look forward to reading more and finding out how dru and spike can help angel keep his soul. Keep up the good work and post some of the sequel soon.
Comments from author:
I'm so glad you found it and that you enjoyed it so much. I was terrified that folks would be disappointed, as this was my very first slash story. As soon as life allows (I finish cleaning and fixing my flooded house and broken roof and take my nursing boards) I will get back to posting regularly. Dru always wanted her 'family' back... Now she's figured out how to do it... since she's insane, I'm not sure she's seen the ramifications of her choices... yet. I'm looking forward to working on it again.

This was a brilliant story. I really like the extended clan you created and am very much looking forward to more of this 'verse. Hope all you exams went well. :)
Comments from author:
Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun developing that clan. I have ideas for both a spinoff and a couple of sequels as soon as I pass my nursing boards... I passed my final exams and graduated from nursing school, so I am relieved! Now, all I need is that pesky licence... and admission to a graduate program after a 1 year break.

Review of chapter "The Dawn Arriving" from
What a great way to end the story! I absolutely LOVE it that Buffy got to arrest and cuff Stein! That was a wonderful! As for Spike and Dru coming to SAVE Angel's soul...complete surprise and shock! Spike's not crazy about Angel, but Drusilla loves her 'Daddy'. I'm surprised that she would want to help him KEEP his soul. I would think that she would want Angelus back. I'm glad to know that there will be a sequel coming. I liked this version of BtVS and AtS. I look forward to seeing what other changes/improvements you can make.
Comments from author:
Thank you so much. I'm so glad I let Sithspit talk me into expanding the Stein section! Go Sith! This is why people need beta readers. As for Spike and Dru? That I've known for a while... Dru is a strange creature... her motivations are beyond the understandings of normal mortals... Spike, on the other hand... he goes where his girl goes... even if it involves Peaches! There's a possibility that she's so crazy, she doesn't know what she's up to... we'll see, won't we? Maybe she wants to save his demon? I'm glad you've enjoyed my version of BtVS/AtS so far. I hope you'll enjoy what comes next.

Watch Bill Clinton throw Monica Lewinsky under the bus
by NeuvoLiberal, Mon Feb 04, 2008 at 10:08:17 AM EST
This is a response to this "diary" smearing Obama. In that connection, let us recollect what Bill Clinton did to Monica Lewinsky.
From the wiki page "I did not have sexual relations with that woman": Clinton uttered the quote during a January 26, 1998, White House press conference when allegations were running high regarding an alleged sexual relationship between himself and Monica Lewinsky, a White House intern. At the conclusion of the press conference, Clinton said:
Bill Clinton, January 26, 1998: Now, I have to go back to work on my State of the Union speech. And I worked on it until pretty late last night. But I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again: I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work for the American people. Thank you.
Watch the video here.
In other words, Bill Clinton used Monica Lewinsky for cheap sexual thrills (knowing fully well the risks that presented to himself, his legacy, his wife, his friend and partner Al Gore as well as the Democratic party) and when the affair stood to threaten his political career, threw her under the bus. In addition, the Clinton machine was out painting her as a "stalker". Shameful. That's how much the Clintons care about women.
Update [2008-2-4 15:31:27 by NeuvoLiberal]:: I'll delete this diary if the diary smearing Michelle Obama that I am responding to is deleted.

A Mosaic of Wonders from Marrakech to the High Atlas & Essaouira
The stuff of fantasy. Goats in trees. Snake charmers in the medina. Sweet mint tea poured into tiny glasses from impossible heights. Names like Tamesloht and Amizmiz. You bargaining in the souk, riding a camel, lunching with Berbers in a remote village. The kids playing donkey polo, devouring dishes spiced with cinnamon, saffron and cumin. They're eating with their hands. You're eating with yours! It's not a dream. It's your family in Morocco.
We want to make sure you're on the right trip and that you have the best experience possible. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
AccommodationsWhile our hotels are some of the finest in Morocco, they tend to be in fairly isolated areas, removed from the conveniences of a cosmopolitan city. Though part of their charm, it also means that when things break, it may take some time to get repaired. Service standards can be a bit different here and you may encounter the occasional person unfamiliar with the concept of "service with a smile."
Biking in an Emerging WorldIn Morocco, traffic can be faster and more congested than what you may be used to. You may also find the "rules of the road" to be different, with vehicles focusing only on what's ahead of them and entering traffic too quickly, or pedestrians rushing across the road. We've designed our routes throughout Morocco to avoid heavily trafficked areas whenever possible. However, it's important to be alert and cautious, especially in busier areas around villages and major intersections.
Rest assured, our Moroccan team is there to help and guide you along the way.
Day 1 Pedal through an exotic landscape more accustomed to camels than cyclists Adults head to the small village of Tamesloht, home to a zaouia (holy site), while kids engage in a friendly game of donkey polo A biking route through rolling countryside leads to the Gorges d'Ouirgane.
Day 2 In the High Atlas Mountains, hike to a village accessible only by foot and experience traditional life Share mint tea, fresh bread and olive oil with a welcoming Berber family Enjoy a lively performance of singing, drumming and dancing before dining on Moroccan specialties.
Day 3 Luxurious Heure Bleue Palais with spectacular ocean views Goats climbing trees? Look for them in the argan trees as you ride undulating terrain past sun-kissed olive groves toward the Atlantic With our local guide, explore the narrow winding streets of Essaouira, an artsy white-washed port town and World Heritage site.
Day 4 Camel ride on the beach at twilight Spin to the sleepy surfing village of Moulay Bouzerqtoune, where dramatic hills tumble to the coast Wash away your cares in a traditional hammam Cinnamon, turmeric, cumin and anis dance on your tongue during a lavish Moroccan dinner.
Days 5-6 Explore Marrakech's bustling medina on a guided walk Discover the architectural wonders of Dar Si Said Palace during a private tour Relax in our desert oasis or bike or hike in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains.

Guest Reviews About This Trip
I had a wonderful time discovering Morocco's diversity on foot and by bike. The raw beauty of the culture in the villages we hiked through and in the cities we visited was almost tangible because we were exposed to it in such an unconventional way. The warmth of the Moroccan people combined with the superior knowledge of our leaders and guides made for a phenomenal experience that I will always remember.- Richmond, VA
It was a wonderful adventure - the trip of a lifetime. The culture, the people and the scenery were amazing.- Atlanta, GA

NEW ORLEANS -- The New Orleans Saints have worked out a group of kickers, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The news comes days after incumbent Saints kicker Garrett Hartley struggled again against the Dallas Cowboys, missing his only field goal try.
With Garrett Hartley struggling, Saints worked out a group of kickers that included Derek Dimke, Shayne Graham and Neil Rackers.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) November 12, 2013
Schefter said the Saints worked out Derek Dimke, Shayne Graham and Neil Rackers on Tuesday.
Graham and Rackers are both NFL veterans. Dimke is an undrafted rookie.
Hartley is second in misses in the NFL with 6. He was wide right on his only field goal attempt Sunday -- a 37 yarder -- and has missed four of his last six kicks.

Lax World, the Baltimore, Md., based chain of lacrosse retail stores, has been purchased by two former Jos. A. Bank executives, according to the Baltimore Business Journal.
The Baltimore Business Journal's Gary Haber is reporting that Frank Barbarino has teamed up with Micheal Stewart, a former vice president of planning and allocation at Jos. A. Bank, and Bobby Martino, a vice president at Lax World, to purchase the company from previous owner Jim Darcangelo, one of the original founders of Lax World.
Barbarino served as vice president and general merchandise manager for Jos. A. Bank before leaving the company.
The Baltimore Business Journal reports that the new owners have plans to expand the franchise, with the goal of adding Lax World locations in Maryland, Virginia, Colorado and Georgia and in new markets around the country.

Mary Louise
(Unzicker) Snyder
July 28, 1925-Jan. 23, 2013
GOSHEN — Mary Louise (Unzicker) Snyder, 88, passed away peacefully at her home on Thursday night, surrounded by her loving family.
Mary was born to Paul and Ruby (Smoker) Unzicker at the family farm on C.R. 36 east of Goshen, July 28, 1925. She graduated from Goshen High School in 1944.
On June 13, 1948, Mary married Wilden L. Snyder at Silver Street Mennonite Church. He preceded her in death Dec. 24, 1996.
Mary is survived by her son, Roger (Debra Johnson) Snyder, Goshen; and a daughter, Laurie (Gordon) Lord, Goshen; and grandchildren, Sarah Snyder (Ryan) Elliott, Goshen, Holly Snyder (Justin) Leatherman, Goshen, Mary Elizabeth Lord, Los Angeles, Calif., and Geoffrey Lord, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Mary is also survived by four great-grandchildren, Jake Elliott, Tori Elliott, Maddie Leatherman and Logan Leatherman; and two sisters, Margaret Balyeat and Joanne Penland Sheline, both of Goshen.
Mary was a familiar face at Kline's department store in downtown Goshen for more than 25 years until her retirement in 1991. Mary loved her customers and never knew a stranger. Her favored term of endearment for everyone was "honey."
After retirement, Mary "enjoyed" going out in the fields to help her husband, Wilden, a registered land surveyor, with whom she made a famously interesting team. In 2006, Mary happily moved to Greencroft Manor IV, where she was always delighted to show her apartment to potential residents.
Mary loved her life at Greencroft. She volunteered on the Greencroft Social Committee, helped organize her hall dinners, served on the movie committee (popcorn duty) and participated in Wii-fit bowling. She also volunteered at the Manor IV gift shop every Wednesday morning selling stamps and gift items.
Mary was a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Goshen for 65 years where she formerly served as treasurer of the Presbyterian Women's group.
During the last nine months of Mary's life, she was blessed with the loving care of her family, her Greencroft friends, her special friend and helper, Linda Lambright, and the wonderful IU Goshen Health Hospice team.

New 2014 GMC Sierra 1500
The redesigned 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 lineup comprises a set of pickups aimed at a wide range of uses from personal transportation to purpose-built tow rigs, farm or ranch haulers, or off-road machines. With three cab styles, two bed lengths, three engines, 2WD and 4WD versions and various trim levels from spartan to lavish, the Sierra lineup offers something for all. Top-of-the-line Denali models remain the choice of more discerning (and affluent) truck shoppers, with luxurious interiors and the full set of features of a premium SUV. The Sierra is significantly quieter than last year's models, as well as most other trucks in its class, thanks to a host of new sound-deadening additions like triple-sealed doors and new aerodynamic measures. The Sierra's engines are stronger yet more fuel-efficient than before, while also more refined. GM boasts that models with the V6 have towing ratings of up to 7,600 pounds, which is hundreds of pounds more than a comparable Ford F-150 or Ram 1500. Also, the Silverado 1500 might have some of the lowest maintenance costs among pickups because of its 4-wheel disc brakes with Duralife rotors, which GM claims will last twice as long as conventional brake rotors.

OKLAHOMA CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May. 2, 2012--
Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE:DVN) today reported net earnings of $393
million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, or $0.97 per common share
($0.97 per diluted share). This compares with first-quarter 2011 net
earnings of $416 million, or $0.97 per common share ($0.97 per diluted
Devon's first-quarter 2012 financial results were impacted by certain
items securities analysts typically exclude from their published
estimates. Adjusting for these items, the company earned $427 million or
$1.05 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2012. The adjusting
items are discussed in more detail later in this news release.
Devon's first-quarter 2012 earnings were significantly affected by
unusually wide Canadian oil price differentials. Following the end of
the quarter, Canadian oil differentials have begun to normalize.
Strong Oil Growth Drives Record Production
Total production of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids averaged
694,000 oil-equivalent barrels (Boe) per day in the first quarter of
2012. This is the highest daily production rate in history from the
company's North American onshore properties and represents a 10 percent
increase compared to the year-ago quarter. Record production from the
company's cornerstone development properties, including the Permian
Basin, Jackfish, Cana-Woodford and Barnett Shale, drove the strong first
quarter performance.
Devon's first quarter liquids production increased for the sixth
consecutive quarter to 256,000 Boe per day. This growth was led by a 26
percent year-over-year increase in oil production.
Sales of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, before the impact of
hedges, increased 3 percent to $1.9 billion in the first quarter of
2012. Cash settlements related to oil and natural gas hedges increased
revenues by $158 million or $2.50 per Boe in the first-quarter 2012.
Marketing and midstream operating profit was $112 million in the first
quarter of 2012. This was a 7 percent decrease compared with the
first-quarter 2011. The decrease was attributable to lower natural gas
and natural gas liquids prices.
Permian Basin Activity and Production Growth Lead Operating Highlights
Cost Containment Efforts Partially Offset Rising Costs
First-quarter 2012 expenses increased compared to the year-ago quarter
due to rising oilfield service and supply costs. Compared to the first
quarter of 2011, the company's total pre-tax cash costs increased 5
percent to $13.80 per Boe. The company's successful cost management
efforts and efficient operations partially offset the full impact of
industry inflation and a shift towards oil projects. In general, oil
projects are more expensive to develop and have higher operating costs
than gas production.
Lease operating expenses (LOE) were $514 million in the first quarter.
On a unit of production basis, LOE increased 9 percent compared with the
first-quarter 2011 and was 2 percent higher than the fourth-quarter
2011. The increase in LOE reflects rising industry costs coupled with
increased activity levels in oil-focused basins.
Taxes other than income decreased 6 percent to $102 million in the first
quarter of 2012. The year-over-year decrease was driven by lower ad
valorem and production taxes.
Interest expense for the first quarter totaled $87 million, a $6 million
increase over the first quarter of 2011. Higher average debt balances
drove the increase.
First-quarter general and administrative expenses were $168 million, or
$2.67 per Boe. This compares with $2.29 per Boe in the first quarter of
2011. Higher personnel costs were the largest contributor to the
increase. Devon has increased the size of its workforce to support its
expanding exploration and development activity.
Compared with the first-quarter 2011, depreciation, depletion and
amortization expense (DD&A) increased 21 percent to $10.78 per Boe.
Inflation in industry costs and increased investment in oil-focused
projects drove DD&A expense higher.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity Remain Strong
In the first quarter of 2012, Devon generated cash flow before balance
sheet changes of $1.4 billion. On a per share basis, this represents a 3
percent increase in cash flow compared to the first-quarter 2011. At
March 31, 2012, the company's cash and short-term investments totaled
$7.1 billion, and its net debt to adjusted capitalization was 15 percent.
Devon Adds Oil and Gas Hedges in 2012 and 2013
The strong oil price environment has provided Devon the opportunity to
add attractive oil hedges for 2013. The company has entered into various
swap and collar contracts to hedge 72,000 barrels per day of oil
production. Of this total, 31,000 barrels per day are swapped at a
weighted average price of $104 per barrel. The remaining 41,000 barrels
per day utilize costless collars with a weighted average ceiling of $117
per barrel and a floor of $91 per barrel. For the remainder of 2012, the
company has 109,000 barrels per day of oil production hedged, or roughly
70 percent of forecasted oil production, at a weighted average floor
price of $95 per barrel.
The company has also recently bolstered its natural gas hedging
position. For the remaining three quarters of 2012, Devon has
approximately 1 billion cubic feet per day protected at a weighted
average floor price of $4.42 per thousand cubic feet. This represents
about 40 percent of Devon's 2012 forecasted gas production.
Non-GAAP Reconciliations
Pursuant to regulatory disclosure requirements, Devon is required to
reconcile non-GAAP financial measures to the related GAAP information
(GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles). Cash flow
before balance sheet changes, net debt and adjusted capitalization are
non-GAAP financial measures referenced within this release.
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures are provided on page 11.
Items Excluded from Published Earnings Estimates
Devon's reported net earnings include items of income and expense that
are typically excluded by securities analysts in their published
estimates of the company's financial results. The following tables
summarize the first-quarter 2012 effects of these items on earnings and
cash flow.
Conference Call to be Webcast Today
Devon will discuss its first-quarter 2012 financial and operating
results in a conference call webcast today. The webcast will begin at 10
a.m. Central Time (11 a.m. Eastern Time). The webcast may be accessed
from Devon's internet home page at www.devonenergy.com.
This press release includes "forward-looking statements" as defined
by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such statements are those
concerning strategic plans, expectations and objectives for future
operations. All statements, other than statements of historical facts,
included in this press release that address activities, events or
developments that the company expects, believes or anticipates will or
may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Such statements
are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of
which are beyond the control of the company. Statements regarding future
drilling and production are subject to all of the risks and
uncertainties normally incident to the exploration for and development
and production of oil and gas. These risks include, but are not limited
to the volatility of oil, natural gas and NGL prices; uncertainties
inherent in estimating oil, natural gas and NGL reserves; drilling
risks; environmental risks; and political or regulatory changes.
Investors are cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees of
future performance and that actual results or developments may differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The
forward-looking statements in this press release are made as of the date
of this press release, even if subsequently made available by Devon on
its website or otherwise. Devon does not undertake any obligation to
update the forward-looking statements as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission permits oil and
gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved,
probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC's definitions for such
terms, and price and cost sensitivities for such reserves, and prohibits
disclosure of resources that do not constitute such reserves. This
release may contain certain terms, such as resource potential
and exploration target size. These estimates are by their nature more
speculative than estimates of proved, probable and possible reserves and
accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually
realized. The SEC guidelines strictly prohibit us from including
these estimates in filings with the SEC. U.S. investors are urged to
consider closely the disclosure in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2011, available from us at Devon Energy Corporation,
Attn. Investor Relations, 333 West Sheridan, Oklahoma City, OK 73102.

Devon Energy Corporation is an Oklahoma City-based independent energy
company engaged in oil and gas exploration and production. Devon is a
leading U.S.-based independent oil and gas producer and is included in

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted
disclosure requirements for public companies such as Devon concerning
Non-GAAP financial measures. (GAAP refers to generally accepted
accounting principles). The company must reconcile the Non-GAAP
financial measure to related GAAP information. Cash flow before balance
sheet changes is a Non-GAAP financial measure. Devon believes cash flow
before balance sheet changes is relevant because it is a measure of cash
available to fund the company's capital expenditures, dividends and to
service its debt. Cash flow before balance sheet changes is also used by
certain securities analysts as a measure of Devon's financial results.
Devon believes that using net debt for the calculation of "net debt to
adjusted capitalization" provides a better measure than using debt.
Devon defines net debt as debt less cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments. Devon believes that netting these sources of
cash against debt provides a clearer picture of the future demands on
cash to repay debt.

It is thought to have been dumped by burglars and so police are looking to identify its owner and hand it back to them.
Anyone who believes they own the items asked to call Chelmsford Police Station on 101.

Surely if it was from a burglary it would be on a list of missing items? Or is this a case of 'no point reporting our burglary because the police are too busy catching motorists to bother with our stolen items'?

DALLAS -- Almost a month early, a shipment of mosquito repellent was being unloaded outside the Dallas County Health Department Thursday, but the 2,000 cans of OFF are already spoken for.
Dallas County Health and Human Services Director Zachary Thompson said they will be handed out at a local senior citizens center. They are also another indication that West Nile virus is back, and earlier than before.
"Right now, the fact that you are finding positive mosquito pools this early is an indicator that West Nile virus and human cases are just around the corner," Thompson said.
Last year, a record 940 cases of West Nile virus were reported in Dallas, Tarrant, Collin and Denton counties. Thirty-five people died and the outbreak was so serious Dallas County approved aerial spraying for the first time since the 1960's.
Sunday, ground spraying will begin in Richardson, where mosquitoes trapped in three different locations tested positive for West Nile. The hope is to kill off as many virus-carrying mosquitoes as possible, possibly avoiding aerial spraying later, and preventing people from getting sick.
Richardson resident Kelly Thomas said with the cold weather, most people are not thinking about mosquitoes at all. She's glad spraying is beginning early.
"I'm pleased that they are going ahead and being proactive about the West Nile virus, so that we wouldn't be having so much fear," she said.
Some of that fear won't subside until officials know if early spraying helped curb the virus' spread.

HOUSTON (AP) — A man accused of vandalizing a 1929 Pablo Picasso painting in an act caught on cellphone video is to be in court for the first time since surrendering to U.S. marshals last week at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Uriel Landeros is to appear Wednesday before a federal judge in Houston.
The 22-year-old faces felony graffiti and criminal mischief charges accusing him of spray-painting "Woman in a Red Armchair" at the Menil Collection in Houston.
The painting was damaged June 13 in an act caught in a 24-second video taken by a bystander and posted on YouTube. The vandal left behind an image of a bullfighter, a bull and the word "conquista," the Spanish word for conquest.
A Menil spokesman says the painting's restoration has been successful and is nearly complete.

Toledo Municipal Court Judges presented their case for the need to build a new courthouse to Toledo City Council Monday.
Judge Michael Goulding told council the 37-year-old building creates security risks, and does not have a furnace. The building also houses the Lucas County Jail. Goulding is proposing the construction of a new courthouse in the next few years. At least one Toledo City Councilman agrees.
"The county needs a new jail, the city needs a new court so if both entities need something to replace what is existing it only makes sense to me to take the two governmental entities and you come together," said Councilman Mike Collins.
Goulding and Collins say they plan to work together to come up with a plan to fund the project.

Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough of Proenza Schouler Are Busy in Europe
How busy, you ask? Really, really busy. That's the reality of being a designer at this time of year. You come all the way to Europe from the States and there is no time—well, maybe a little, just a little—to have fun. Especially now, when Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez are about to undertake the latter-day fashion equivalent of the Grand Tour: journeying from factory to factory to check up on the progress of the clothes they'll show in over six weeks' time. "We come to Italy with our hard hats," Lazaro is saying on the phone, an hour or so after their flight arrived in Milan from London. "Our days here are long. We'd don't expect it to be easy." Especially not when 99 percent of Proenza Schouler's spring 2011 collection utilizes fabrics that they have had specially developed for them. Would they like to say any more about next spring? "No!" Lazaro replies, laughing.
What he and Jack will talk about is London: The live interview on Nick Knight's SHOWStudio—"Scary!" is their verdict on having to do the real-time Webcast; and then the dinner that Liberty threw for the boys and 28 other guests (including stylists Caroline Sieber and Panos Yiapanis) earlier this week in the Arts and Crafts–style store itself. Liberty started selling their label from the pre-fall collection onward, part of a bigger push it is doing for the best young American brands it carries. And despite the fact that the deliveries (so far, a lot of the shibori prints, which is fitting with Liberty's Asian past) are only just starting to hit the floor, Jack and Lazaro still got to see how London wears what they do, with more than a few guests turning up in spring '10 looks. "It was mostly dresses, so there wasn't a lot of styling involved," Lazaro says, "but I noticed one difference: Back home, girls would wear them with a quirky shoe, while there it was with a pump. Surprisingly, the shoes were . . . sensible!'
From what the stars should wear to who we think will win—here is everything you need to know about the 2014 Emmy Awards.

An ordinary day of 221B Baker Street
I really love that they have breakfast together. I just do, I love that. I like the scene it suggests, and the many other scenes it's clearly built upon. There's a familiarity about it all; they've done this before. They do this all the time. They have a routine of sorts. This is their life. It's good.
John gets up, takes a shower, gets dressed: Sherlock doesn't bother. He just pulls on his dressing gown and sits down to eat.
Does John wake up first?
Everything suggests that he does; he's the one who's dressed. Not that that's the most definitive evidence in the world. Sometimes, we know, Sherlock doesn't appear to bother getting dressed all day. In canon, Watson notes Holmes' typical late mornings. And John, on the other hand, has probably spent most of his adult life in the military; a life full of early mornings. That's a tough habit to break. Can I make a presumption, then? (This is fiction, not science, after all. I don't need water-tight evidence to form an opinion and run off on a tangent. Obviously.) That's it, settled: John wakes up first. Most of the time, surely.
Does John wake Sherlock for breakfast? Or does he move as quietly as he can through the morning, putting the kettle on, picking up the paper, peering into the fridge, waiting to hear a familiar huff and grumble from Sherlock's bedroom? Any moment now. Any moment. Look at John: he's happy. He likes his breakfasts with Sherlock. So he waits for it: any moment now, Sherlock will wake up and join him. He doesn't ask for company; he just gets it.
Does Sherlock wake up when John puts the kettle on? Does he wake up to the sound of John pulling plates down from a cupboard, or running water into the sink? Or is it when John's in the shower that he wakes up, to the sound of water running, the sound of it hitting John's skin, then drifts off into a half-sleep again until he hears the kettle boil?
In any case, Sherlock gets up. Eventually. Before his breakfast is cold. Just in time, probably.
He rubs the sleep out of his eyes. He yawns. he doesn't bother to do up his dressing gown. John probably says, "Good morning," or something like it. A dig about the evening before, a complaint about an experiment, or too much noise in the night, or a question about a case. Do they pick up a conversation where they left off? Something half-finished from the evening before? Or new things, random things, the things you say in the morning. "I dreamed I was on boat." I can't imagine Sherlock would be that interested in hearing about dreams, or relating them. But you start conversations like that in the morning, just because. It's the familiarity. "We were going in circles, and no one noticed." Nothing that requires a comment. Just things you say.
And they have breakfast, drink coffee, read the paper. They probably chat about the headlines. It's an ordinary day. Nothing remarkable. It's moments before the next thing happens.
This is probably as happy as either of these men will ever be.
That is a lovely comment. :3

August 2006 AccuConference Conference Calls (0) We have all heard about different conferencing possibilities that are out there to enhance business and educational communication. However, some inquiries still arise when we are confronted with what services best fit our needs and the demands of those around us. Teleconferencing, for instance, contrary to videoconferencing which implies the use of video, is undergone only with audio support. Tele conferencing (also referred to as audio conferencing and conference calling) is carried out over regular telephone lines and can be conducted rather inexpensively. When choosing a service, there are two main alternatives, reservationless or operator-assisted. The first comes into view as the most economical and user friendly as a telephone number and pin code are the only needed requirements to get you started. What's more, it abolishes any possible human error consequence of operator assisted services. Greater flexibility is offered as it is permanently available and once you have adhered to the service, you only need to worry about setting a time and date with your participants to perform a meeting. Operator assisted teleconferencing, on the other hand, is recommended for meetings with larger number participants and can avoid potential problems that come up as a View our Whitepaper: 10 Questions to ask your Provider - Download Now

Piped-on frosting made my cookies into vivid mini-quilt blocks for a sweet ending to the theme luncheon. My friends appreciated the fact that even the food reflected our mutual love of quilting. Grace Yaskovic, Branchville, New Jersey

- 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 egg
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup vanilla frosting and food coloring or decorator's icing

Press dough onto the bottom of pan. Score dough with a sharp knife to make 2-in. x 2-in. squares (discard scraps or reroll and bake as directed). Bake at 325° for 16-18 minutes or until set (cookies will not brown). Carefully lift cookies out of pan using foil. Cut into squares; cool. Mix frosting with food coloring to make desired colors or use decorator's icing. Decorate cookies with quilt patterns. Yield: about 3 dozen.
