Vampires, unexpected allies and love. With the blood feast approaching fast who will survive as the hunters go undercover?
As some people may have noticed I haven't posted any new stuff on here in absolutely ages! That is because I've been working on this =) It's a multi-part vampire fic that I think is a bit different to everything else on here, but don't quote me on that.
I don't usually do this but I am going to this time to save confusion later on…
Mcr Guys
Bob Bryar- Ex-vampire hunter. Used to be the best but ended up confined to a wheelchair. Now runs a successful group of twenty plus vampire hunters from behind the scenes.
Ray Toro- Vampire with links to the Lamia clan.
Gerard Way- Top vampire of the Lamia clan. Pretty old but being a vampire still looks around mid twenties.
Frank Iero- Vampire made by Gerard Way a few years ago. Member of the Lamia clan. Was Kat's boyfriend when he got changed.
Mikey Way- Lone vampire hunter from up north. Very talented but not very well known.
Own Characters
Kat- Was in a serious relationship with Frank. Always interested in the rumoured vampires but is now a fully blown vampire hunter. Well known amongst hunters and vampires alike. Story will be in her POV. As I don't seem to describe her in the fic this is what I imagine her to look like; avg. height (about 5'4), slender build but muscular, shortish blonde hair, usually dressed in black for stealth purposes, clothes fitted and chunky black boots.
Ok that's that done… I hate doing that it's slightly demeaning… anyway in this story Mikey and Gerard ARE NOT brothers. The plot is terribly skewed if you read it as though they are.
Also there is a mention of boy on boy activity but nothing explicit. In fact it's only talked about between two characters and it's the relationship side and not the sexual side they are concerned with.
I think that's it.
I'll be posting the Prologue right after this and the first chapter hopefully tomorrow but I have family down so we'll see. After that the amount of comments you guys give me will determine how quickly I update. =D hint hint…
[To anyone who reads the night world series by L J Smith; when I first started writing it was inspired by one of her books so any similarities are probably because of that. Of course I'm no where near as talented as her =( ]
Please read rate and review. Constructive criticism is welcome but please don't comment me telling me my American is crap. I know, I'm English, I write in English… if I had to waste time looking up American slang then my stories would never get written.
Hope you like the fic!! xoxo

Next 12 Exits
".. for 8 months, no more than that, a year, I sat in a cafe, drank coffee and wrote nonsense in a journal; then suddenly it was not nonsense .."
(Sabrina, 1995)
I'm Mae. I'm 25.
Home is the north west of England.
Currently in London.
This started in Paris.
I don't know where it will end :)
Escaping the city
The other weekend we had a wonderful weekend with all the extended family. I think it's the first time we had so many of them all together (there's usually always someone missing). And we're in what will be a very short period where all the grand kids are grown up, but there are no great grand kids yet. Carl met everyone too! The house we rented out had a gorgeous heated pool and so much communal space, it really was just a dream. We drove up from London with cousins on Friday night and spend the whole weekend just catching up, ligging out, having pool fights and playing articulate. And there were some very un PC dinner table conversations..!!
The pool was a dream. I love the feel of Spas so to effectively have a private one was heaven.
My Oma (grandma) used to fill this jewelry box with sweets and toys when we came to visit, and we'd sit in her bed in the morning and find the sweets while she used the little toys to act out stories <3
We were there to celebrate my wonderful Opa's 89th birthday :)
Good stuff that happened at the end of 2013
We discovered a climbing wall in London that does tea in proper mugs. For 3 hours we could have been in the North of England for all we knew. It was bliss.
We got zoo membership!! We live near enough that a weekend stroll there is very feasible, and it feels great to know we can wander in anytime.
We had a beautiful first Christmas tree in our new flat. Multicolour glory :)
My best girl came to visit and brought the perfect first special bauble for said tree.
I had pillowcase overspill from my stocking on Christmas morning which is always a good sign.
Which is all a long winded way of saying I've just looked though all the photos on my phone from this year (which google handily seem to put everywhere now for me to access and browse) and I have so many that will just end up in a lost folder on my laptop, so tumblr from now on, in an effort to record some memories, you're getting them.

The Five Senses Trunk: Part 2
Water Works Trunk: Part 1
Water Works Trunk: Part 2
The Early Childhood Traveling Trunks are designed to be rented by parents and teachers of children ages 3 – 7. The trunks spark children's interest to play, explore, and contemplate various science concepts.
Adults should be present to organize materials and ask questions that deepen a child's understanding. Children will gain opportunities to observe, problem-solve, investigate, plan, predict, act, ask, report, and reflect on their developing knowledge. Many materials are provided in the trunks. However, it is expected that the renter also supplies some materials, though most are likely to be readily available in your home or school, such as paper, markers, measuring cups, etc.
Most trunks may be rented for 2 weeks. However, the Butterflies and From Field to Table trunks may be rented for 6 weeks because some activities in those trunks take a longer period of time to complete.
• The fee to rent any Early Childhood trunk is $10.
• A $10 refundable deposit check is required at the time of pick-up. This deposit will be returned after the contents of the trunk are satisfactorily checked and the renter's evaluation has been received.
RESERVE A TRUNK: A Rental Agreement must be signed by the renter and Gateway to Science. Payment must accompany this agreement in order to reserve dates.
We have many science topics from which to choose! ECTrunkRentalAgreement
TRUNK DESCRIPTIONS: Read about the trunks in the EC Traveling Trunk Description Updated.
FEEDBACK: Please fill out our Traveling Trunks Evaluation Form after you have used the trunk to provide us with some feedback.
For more information on the Early Childhood Traveling Trunks please e-mail our Educational Outreach Coordinator, Courtney , or call 701.258.1975.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
New prices for mailing services approved by the Governors of the U.S. Postal Service will go into effect Monday, May 11. The new prices include a 2-cent increase in the price of a First-Class Mail stamp to 44 cents. Prices for mailing services are reviewed annually and adjusted each May.
Customers can continue to mail letters at today's prices by purchasing the Forever Stamp before May 11. Forever Stamps were developed to help consumers ease the transition during price changes. Forever Stamps do not have a denomination and will be honored whenever they are used with no need for additional postage for a one-ounce letter mailing. On May 11 the price of the Forever Stamp will be 44 cents.
The new prices are available at the link below. Rising operational costs make the price adjustments necessary; the increase tracks the 2008 rate of inflation. "The Postal Service is not immune to rising costs which are affecting homes and businesses across America today," said Postmaster General John Potter. "Even with the increases, the Postal Service continues to offer some of the lowest postage prices in the world."
Forever Stamps, featuring an image of the Liberty Bell, are available for purchase at Post Offices nationwide, online at usps.com, by phone at 1-800-STAMP-24, and from Automated Postal Centers located at the Downtown Station, 330 W. 2nd St., Corporate Hills Station, 9350 E. Corporate Hills Drive and the General Mail Facility at 7117 W. Harry St. The Automated Postal Centers are available 24/7 in the lobbies of the stations listed above.

A lot of people are reporting problems with their iPhone battery life, especially with the iPhone 5 and iOS 6.
Here are some tips to get longer battery life on any iPhone simply by disabling some of the features of the iPhone.
You might think 'but I don't want to turn off any of the features on my iPhone'. Well, do you have every light and appliance in your house turned on all the time? It's not the best use of energy to do so. Likewise it's not necessary to have everything running on your iPhone at once either!
It's a matter of compromising between convenience and battery life. My rule of thumb is that if I use something less than once a week, then I'm happy to turn it on manually, but for things I'm using every day, I generally leave them on.

Ship(s): Silver Explorer
Trip Highlights:
Follow the path of famous explorers to witness prolific wildlife and awe-inspiring scenery from aboard a luxury vessel with expert guides, 5-star service and fantastic cuisine.
Summary: Experience the wonders of the Antarctic while taking full advantage of the luxurious all-inclusive lifestyle provided by world's best and most uncompromising service including spacious suites and comfortable common areas of any expedition ship. Follow in the footsteps of brave and daring explorers the likes of Roald Amundsen, James Weddell, James Clark Ross, and Ernest Shackleton. A frosted wilderness of glistening white as far as the eye can see, dominated by natural ice sculptures like enormous works of avant-garde art, await you. Hear the cries of penguins multiplied by the thousands, watch leopard seals and sea lions perfectly at ease in the company of visitors, feel the unspeakable magnificence of a whale breaching from beneath cold ocean waters.
Departing from Buenos Aires, take a charter flight to Ushuaia and transfer to the port. Embark the vessel and meet your Expedition Leaders.
Day 2: At Sea
As you set sail on the first leg of your journey, the welcoming expedition staff will give talks and presentations that will prepare you for the exciting adventures that lay ahead. Learn about the interworkings of the Silver Explorer and interact with officers regarding navigation techniques. Tonight, you are invited to attend a special Welcome Aboard cocktail party where the Captain will introduce his senior officers and various members of the Silver Explorer crew.
Day 3: West Point Island, Falkland Islands
Watch for the distinctive black and white markings of the Commerson's dolphin as you approach West Point Island. Upon arrival, walk across rolling moorland and admire colonies of black-browed albatrosses that nest side-by-side with feisty rockhopper penguins. Learn about the island's unique vegetation including the rare felton plant. The hospitable island owners are always happy to answer your questions and share their stories. As your Zodiac lands at Leopard Beach on Carcass Island, you will be pleasantly surprised by the white sands, verdant tussock grasses and the large variety of land birds seen during your time ashore. The island is home to magellanic and gentoo penguins, as well as the endemic Falkland flightless steamer duck and the rare ruddy-headed goose. November offers the great opportunity to witness the courtship rituals of penguins and seabirds, plus view native wildflowers in full bloom. Before heading back to the ship, enjoy a cup of tea with the island owners.
Day 4: Stanley, Falkland Islands
Stanley is the capital of the remote Falkland Islands, and has a distinct British ambience and feel. Stroll through the charming streets of this colourful little town, lined with quaint cottages and a variety of traditional pubs. Visit a 19th-century Anglican cathedral, wander through the small local museum, and see the lingering reminders of the 1986 Falklands War.
Days 5 - 6: At Sea
As you begin to venture further south, take full advantage of spectacular midnight sunsets on deck, or bring your camera and binoculars to capture the entirety of nature's splendor. It is very possible to witness humpback and killer whales in their native habitats, and perhaps even catch a glimpse of the wandering albatross, easily recognized by its black wingtips and large wingspan.
Days 7 - 9: South Georgia Island
This breathtaking destination of towering snow-covered mountains, mighty glaciers, and low-lying grasslands attracts an astounding concentration of wildlife: Southern fur seals, Southern elephant seals and a variety of albatross species including black-browed, light-mantled sooty, grey-headed and the spectacular wandering albatross, plus thousands of king and macaroni penguins. South Georgia is also linked to many early Antarctic explorers. Captain James Cook first stepped ashore in 1775, but perhaps more famous is the 1916 arrival of Ernest Shackleton to the island following the sinking of his infamous ship, the Endurance. Visit Shackleton's grave and the whaling museum at Grytviken.
Days 10 - 11: At Sea
Participate in onboard activities, relax in one of the lounges, or peruse an array of titles and topics in the well-stocked Library. Tonight, before turning in, take a stroll on deck and enjoy the solitude and splendour of the vast sea and sky.
Day 12: Elephant Island, South Shetland Islands
Awesome glaciers flecked with pink algae surround you as your ship approaches Elephant Island – so named for its abundance of elephant seals. When Ernest Shackleton's ship, the Endurance, was enveloped by pack ice in the Weddell Sea during his infamous 1916 voyage, the crew was stranded here for 105 days. Elephant Island is home to several chinstrap penguin rookeries, as well as 2,000-year old moss colonies. Weddell seals, gentoo, and macaroni penguins can also be found on the spit of land Shackleton's men named 'Point Wild'.
Days 13 - 15: Antarctic Peninsula
Past the furthest reaches of Tierra del Fuego and beyond your wildest imagination lies the last great frontier – Antarctica's vast white wilderness. Landscapes formed by the harshest wrath of mother nature, yet blessed by an isolated independence and tranquility await. A place where remarkable natural beauty and wildlife species exist and, in fact thrive despite the harsh climate. Witness the dramatic splendor of spectacular iceberg sculptures, marvel at calving glaciers and experience up-close encounters with marine mammals. Watch for seals sunbathing on slow-moving ice floes and for humpback, minke, and orca whales breaching from below the frigid waters. Each day you will have the opportunity to partake in Zodiac departures, and, if conditions permit, will visit a variety of penguin rookeries and scientific research stations. Perhaps a Zodiac cruise amidst colorful icebergs or a special excursion with your expert guest naturalist will be the highlight of your day's agenda.
Days 16 - 17: Drake Passage
The Drake Passage has a notorious reputation for its turbulent seas due to the Antarctic Convergence, a natural boundary where cold polar water flowing northward and warmer equatorial water moving southward mix. When they meet, nutrients are pushed to the surface, often attracting a multitude of seabirds and whales. Spend some time on deck watching the horizon and the variety of seabirds that float in the air currents of the ship's wake such as the black-browed albatross, sooty shearwaters and white-chinned petrels. As you return to Ushuaia, take advantage of the opportunity to listen to additional presentations offered by onboard specialists and swap prized photos with new found friends.
Day 18: Ushuaia, Argentina / Buenos Aires
After breakfast, disembark the Silver Explorer. Transfer to the airport for your return charter flight to Buenos Aires.

"YES!" Dave snapped, starting to make his way down the stairs. "It was on my desk when I left and now it's gone!"
"Dave," Hotch sighed, "You probably misplaced it. Look, you can borrow one of mine, I-"
"It wouldn't be the same!" Dave whined.
"And why not?" Hotch asked.
"Because." Rossi answered quietly. "Emma gave me that pen after my first case. She even had it engraved for me."
Aaron's eyes widened. "I'm sorry, Dave, I didn't-"
"It's okay." Rossi said brusquely. "I just need to find it."
Hotch nodded. "Okay. Come on." He clapped a hand on his friend's back. "I'll help you look for it. It's probably just under your desk or something." They headed back up the stairs, into Rossi's office.
"Thanks, Aaron." Dave said, bending down to look under the desk. "But I already checked there and I don't think-"
"Here." Hotch closed the door behind him and held out a pen towards Rossi.
Dave glanced back up and his eyes widened, seeing the gold pen with the words, "To Dave, love Emma", on it. Snatching it into his hand, he stared at it as if he had never seen anything more beautiful in his entire life. "Where did you find it?" He asked excitedly.
"Uh…actually, I had it all along." Aaron admitted, bashfully.
"What?" Dave leaned back a bit.
"I didn't know how much it meant to you." Hotch continued.
"But, Aaron, why didn't you just ask if you needed a pen? I would have-"
"No. That's not the point." Glancing back to make sure the door was closed, Aaron took a step closer to his friend. "I'm the "kleptomaniac"." Rossi's mouth opened in surprise but closed before he could think of a word to say. "It's for April Fool's." Aaron explained. "You told me that the team needed a break and I knew that getting the whole team time off would be difficult. So I decided to create a false case. This way, they can work on something that's not as toll-taking and still be technically "working"."
"And Strauss agreed to this?" Rossi said in disbelief.
"I convinced her that too many hard cases in a short period of time were bad for the team's psychological state."
"So Garcia's glasses?"
"In the freezer." Hotch smirked. "She'll find them soon enough."
"And the other items?"
"The reports are real but I didn't take them. People are just careless with their belongings; most of them are probably just in the back of their desk somewhere. I'm only going to take things from the team; and anyway, it's not technically stealing if they're still in the building."
"Whatever helps you sleep at night." Rossi rolled his eyes.
"Dave, I never would have-"
"It's okay!" Rossi held up his hands. "Really. I'm just glad to have it back."
"But you won't tell anyone, right?" Hotch asked, pleadingly.
"On one condition." Hotch looked at his friend with trepidation as Dave smirked. "You count me in."

Vote of the week: Giving thanks for theme parks, and for theme park fans
Written by Robert Niles
This Thanksgiving, I am thankful that...Tweet
…Universal Orlando has chosen to put so many of the millions it's earned from Harry Potter back into its theme parks - bringing Transformers to Orlando, building an immersive new Simpsons land, and expanding the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Universal Studios Florida. I hope Universal will provide a compelling example to other theme park companies in the years ahead, reminding them that - if you spend money for attractions of the highest quality, you'll earn that money back, and profits beyond.
I'm also thankful for the Three Broomsticks' fish n' chips and Butterbeer. Yum!
…SeaWorld Orlando is investing in what might be the most ambitious ride system ever implemented in a theme park. I can't wait to experience Antarctica - Empire of the Penguin next spring, with its trackless, customizable motion-base ride vehicles. I love what SeaWorld partner Oceaneering did with Universal Creative on the ride vehicles for Transformers and Spider-man, and am looking forward to seeing what the next iteration of motion-base technology can do for SeaWorld in a live animal environment.
…Buena Vista Street will forever preserve a memory of what California once was - to inform (or remind) people whose only thought of California is stereotype. I especially love that it replaced a stereotype and did so by recreating a vibrant public space, one that has make the entire Disney California Adventure theme park feel like a more comfortable and welcoming space. Theme park designers should learn from New Urbanists, and work to create livable public spaces like this, where people can just "hang out," instead of leaving us with nothing but crowded, soulless pathways between the rides and the stores.
…True Theme Park Insiders honor us by choosing this as their venue to, uh, inform the public about such new developments at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley, Transformers coming to Orlando and new concepts for Disney's Avatar. I know that leaks drive theme park managers nuts. But when fans hear about parks making major new investments, they get excited. Leaks drive vacation plans, as fans start setting aside money and changing long-term vacation plans to make sure they see the new attractions that get them excited. We are proud to share news of new attraction developments with our readers, and invite more theme park insiders to let us know about upcoming projects. (Anonymity assured, of course.)
…I've been blessed with the opportunity to visit some of the world's great theme park attractions beyond the United States' borders, and to bring you along (well, virtually) on these adventures. Tokyo DisneySea, Tokyo Disneyland, Universal Studios Singapore and Disneyland Paris each offer unique, world-class attractions that any theme park fan should wish to visit someday.
…You, thousands of Theme Park Insider readers, continue to support this community with your time, attention, comments, questions, answers, ratings and reviews. You hear a lot from me on the site's front page, but you - collectively - have seen, ridden and stayed at many, many more places than I will ever have the chance to experience in my lifetime. You are the heart of this community and I am forever grateful for every single one of you who visits and chooses to hang around for a while.
For what are you giving thanks this Thanksgiving? Please let us know, in the comments. And while we're on the topic of Turkey Day, let me offer you another chance to vote on something:
Readers' Opinions
From Mike Gallagher on November 21, 2012 at 11:20 AM
For a person that loves English style fish and chips as much as I do...added to the fact I haven't been to WWOHP, despite my love of the books...that picture was cruel and unusual punishment, Mr. Niles. But I will forgive you in the spirit of the day.
*Edited to add*..I'd really like to go to HersheyPark on Friday, but can't find anyone to join me. I wouldn't mind soloing if the coasters were open, but they're not. Many other rides are, though, and they do a nice job with decorations and lights for what they call Christmas Candylane. Very cool (literally and figuratively.)
From Amanda Jenkins on November 21, 2012 at 11:34 AM
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! May you each have a wonderful time with your loved ones. Now, please pass the white meat over here :)
From David L. on November 21, 2012 at 11:57 AM
White meat? too dry! Have a great Thanksgiving to all!
From James Rao on November 21, 2012 at 11:57 AM
I am thankful for turkey (white meat), mashed potatoes (made with a block - or two - of butter), corn (frozen, not canned), and gravy in one big, gooey pile on my plate.
I am also thankful for those theme park designers who continue to prove that story is more important than steel (although using steel to tell a great story is a wonderful thing), and that immersion isn't just a method of baptism.
And, I am especially thankful for my family and friends with whom I am honored to share all my theme park adventures.
So, Happy Thanksgiving to all of TPI-dom! I hope each of you has a blessed and glorious feast.
From Daniel Etcheberry on November 22, 2012 at 5:52 PM
I give thanks for having parents who agreed to fly with me to the west coast and help me transfer into the rides at Disneyland.
I also give thanks for having this website that I enjoy so much.
Happy thanksgiving everyone!
From Bryce McGibeny on November 21, 2012 at 12:50 PM
I go for the Tofurkey!
From Dominick D on November 21, 2012 at 1:04 PM
Just give me some turkey and I'll be happy :)
From Mike Gallagher on November 21, 2012 at 3:36 PM
My friend Jennie O'Connor...aka Jennie-O...is in my freezer waiting to be eaten. Maybe with some fava beans and a nice Chianti. Nah, more like rice and corn.:)
From Carrie Hood on November 22, 2012 at 1:08 AM
Happy Turkey Day Everyone!
May your plates be full of delicious bird-type goodness and my your gravy not runnth over the sides of your plate.
As for theme parks, I'm thankful that some of them still care about the collective history that they all share. For allowing classic attractions of the past to be shared with new generations, even if their not the "newest" thing
I'm also Thankful that the new Test Track looks promising and I'm tentatively hopeful this is a sign that perhaps other, lagging pavilions at Epcot will receive the care and refurbishment they so very much need to bring the park back to the showplace it once was.
...okay so it's wishful thinking, but I'm allowed to have some hope this time of year!
From O T on November 22, 2012 at 4:14 AM
I'm from Europe so I don't get what Turkey day is all about. Making somthing glorius about invading a country isn't my idea of a festive day, having gravy as a dish is sick and stuffing stuff in a turky is not my idea of a meal. But it's your culture and when I lived there I enjoyed black friday a lot to by my clothes for the next few years.
I'm thankfull for Theme Park Insider. My body is broken and I'm always in a lot of pain but your site take me to the places I love and every few years are able to visit. I love you interlectual look on the whole industrie and how you dare to ask the tough questions. How you are advertising living life in a consumption driven country is a fresh wind. And above all, it's fun. With the site I also like to include the readers and commenter who add to this experiance.
From 126.96.36.199 on November 22, 2012 at 6:58 AM
Dark meat FTW! Lol.
I am thankful to live in Orlando, where I not only get to read about the new developments, but I get to see them any time I want with just a short car ride.
I'm thankful my brother lives in Los Angeles, where I not only get to read about the new developments, but I get to see them any time I want with just a ...err...long flight.
I'm thankful to be alive in this wonderful day and age of what I'd consider a theme park renaissance, with Harry Potter, Cars Land, the recent Marvel and Lucas purchases by Disney, and even SeaWorld building an Aquatica Park in San Diego and the Antarctica land in Orlando.
I'm thankful for so much, but I'll keep it theme park related right here, right now.
From James Koehl on November 22, 2012 at 8:50 AM
OT, no, you don't get it. Thanksgiving Day is not about celebrating invading another country (whatever that means). It has been partially hijacked by the merchants of America, the NFL and the Food Network, but some of us still try to focus on the true and original meaning of it- giving thanks to God or who/whatever you feel is responsible for the good things we all have in life. We get out of it what we put into it.
I'm sure that The Netherlands has some holidays that we also "don't get". That doesn't mean that we should denegrate them because we don't celebrate them or understand them.
From Tim Hillman on November 22, 2012 at 9:59 AM
Amen, James, I couldn't agree with you any more.
I'm thankful for he many blessings I've received over the years and even for the bad times that taught me how special those blessings are. Sometimes we don't know how good we have it until we have it taken away.
May you all have a wonderful day and may you enjoy your time with family and friends!
From Mike Gallagher on November 22, 2012 at 10:39 AM
James, I think O T was referring to the Pilgrims coming over from Merry Olde and settling in a land already ocupied by Native Americans.
From James Rao on November 22, 2012 at 1:40 PM
Mike, I'm still not sure it makes sense. Those first pilgrims aren't known for slicing and dicing their way through the native population!
And, James, what says, "Thanksgiving" more than the NFL!? It's all about teamwork, friendly competition, bone crunching tackles, shaving points, and spitting blood! God Bless American Football!!! :)
From James Koehl on November 22, 2012 at 11:17 AM
Mike, I am aware what OT is possibly referring to, but he is still not correct. It is NOT about celebrating an invasion of a country as a glorious event, regardless of what the politically correct revisionist historians might decide. It is exactly about what it's name says- giving thanks for what we have. The historic basis of the holiday have been debated, altered and mythogically enhanced over the centuries, but the modern holiday, which dates to (I believe) the administration of Abraham Lincoln, does not glorify the past admitedly horrendous treatment of the native Americans by the settlers. It is for giving thanks- the other modern additions to it might cheapen it, but can't touch the core value that it stands for anymore than all the crass commercialism of Christmas can truely damage "the reason for the season".
Now it's time for our non-traditional Thanksgiving dinner of sirloin roast with all the trimmings. For that, and so much else, I am thankful.
And yes, OT, I am also thankful that you posted. It gave me a chance to stand up for what I believe in. I am thankful that I live in a country where I can do that.
From Mark Kausch on November 22, 2012 at 4:33 PM
To which I can only add, "Amen, James. Amen".
From Daniel Etcheberry on November 22, 2012 at 6:12 PM
Thanksgiving is about family; black friday is about greed.
From Amy Smith on November 22, 2012 at 9:53 PM
I am thankful that I got the day off and got to eat stuffing and green bean casserole with my family (I hate turkey). I am also thankful that I live in Orlando aka theme park central and have access to butterbeer and Peter Pan's Flight. I am even more thankful that I just got Brave on Bluray/DVD for $8, but not thankful at all that the cashier forgot to remove the plastic magnetic lock box of doom which has defied all attempts at removal and I now have to drive back to Walmart on Black Friday to get the stupid thing removed. (Anyone else get a side of aggravation with their turkey day shopping?)
From TH Creative on November 23, 2012 at 12:47 AM
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
From Mark Fairleigh on November 23, 2012 at 6:14 AM
Thankful for love, life, theme parks, and theme park sites. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. :)
From TH Creative on November 24, 2012 at 4:03 PM
I'm thankful for that moment in the Spring of 1982 when I was walking across the campus of the University of Kentucky and I came across a yellow flyer posted on a bulletin board. The 8-1/2x11 sheet of paper featured Mickey Mouse and an invitation to apply to the Magic Kingdom College Program.
Thirty years later I am blessed with a home in the center of the theme park Universe.
And I'm thankful for Rao and Anthony Murphy and Amanda. Also OT and David L. and NB and D-Sqaured and Ms. Hood. Also Timmy Hillman and the Original Gallagher and J. Koehl.
And I'm thankful to Robert -- What's it been, about a decade? And the best is yet to come.
From James Rao on November 24, 2012 at 5:28 PM
Ahh, shucks, TH, you're pretty swell yourself. Hope you and your family had a stellar Thanksgiving!
From Mike Gallagher on November 25, 2012 at 4:27 AM
Thanks for the shout-out, TH! The "Original Gallagher?"
Trying to figure out on this early Sunday morning if that's a play on the "original gangsta" or a dig at the annoying , watermelon-smashing comedian.
Perhaps both? Perhaps neither? Perhaps it shall remain a mystery, like why Carrot Top has a career?
From TH Creative on November 25, 2012 at 4:41 PM
Mike you are and always will be the "TPIOG."
From Mark Kausch on November 25, 2012 at 8:07 PM
That I'm still alive after a small heart attack two days ago. Found an alternate reason to call it "Black Friday". Don't know how it affects my theme park plans long-term, but short-term they're nonexistant.

Spike: A flippin' keyboard case combo for iPhone
There have been plenty of physical keyboard options for iPhone users dissatisfied with touchscreen typing cross our desktop in recent times, from full-sized Bluetooth options, such as the Jorno folding keyboard, to cases with an integrated keyboard, such as the Nuu MiniKey. The latest to catch our eye, which falls into the second camp, is the Spike keyboard case combo from SoloMatrix that features a hinged physical keyboard that flips up to provide easy access to the full touchscreen.

Peavey Electronics and Muse Research have partnered to develop the MuseBox, a rather nifty software-powered, digital sound module, vocal processor, guitar processor and effects processor all-in-one. The half-rack-sized unit features a mind-boggling number of presets, comes supplied with a software package valued at over US$900 and benefits from two pro-grade guitar/mic inputs at the front of the unit with phantom power, stereo, 24-bit, 48 kHz 0.25-inch rear-panel inputs and outputs, Gigabit Ethernet, full-size 5-pin DIN MIDI and four USB 2.0 ports.

The iPad has been the top selling tablet in the world since its launch, and on the heels of Apple's success, thousands of accessory makers snapped into action, releasing an endless flow of extras for the iPad. Among the most popular accessories are cases and keyboards, and we've seen several companies combine these two needs, such as the Logitech iPad keyboard, or the Brydge keyboard case. In such a crowded market, standing out is important, and the recently launched Touchtype case does so by making use of a full size physical keyboard. Read More
Brydge aims to turn Apple iPad into MacBook Air
Brydge is a keyboard cover for the iPad that attempts to turn the Apple tablet into something very close in style and weight, if not grunt, to the MacBook Air.

Growing out a of a research project led by Kenmochi Hideki at Spain's Pompeu Fabra University in 2000, Yamaha's Vocaloid is a singing synthesizer that lets those with a voice like Roseanne Barr after a big night out synthesize more pleasing vocals by inputting lyrics and melody. While the current commercial version of Vocaloid 3 requires these inputs to be prepared on a PC prior to a performance, Yamaha has now developed a Vocaloid keyboard prototype that lets users input lyrics and melody and generate a singing voice in real time.

"Beauty and the geek" keyboard pants - would you wear them?
Where to start with the "Beauty and the Geek" wearable keyboard. It's tempting to launch into a spiel about cafe-hopping hipsters that might just (and I mean just) be tempted by a pair of jeans with a built-in keyboard. Anything to lighten the load, non? But it's hard to imagine even the least self-aware urbanite willing to subject himself to the inevitable crotch-stares that BatG would surely attract - even when he's not typing. Which isn't to dismiss Nieuwe Heren's design - it does incorporate some rather neat ideas. Read More
Snapkeys aims to replace QWERTY keyboards on mobile devices
At next month's Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2012) in Las Vegas, tech start-up Snapkeys will be attempting to break the Guinness World Record for fastest typing speed. The company will be making its record attempt using volunteers (who it is currently in the process of recruiting), and its new 2i typing system for mobile devices. Unlike traditional systems that utilize a full QWERTY virtual keyboard that takes up much of the screen, 2i incorporates just four onscreen keys ... and they're all invisible. Read More

It's important to recognize that every encounter has two sides, not just the side you personally play most. Yes, a skill that allowed a hunter to escape from snares, roots, and stuns on a short cooldown would have been great for hunters, but what about classes that rely on those mechanics to stay viable in PVP? All the sudden the hunter class goes from being imbalanced one way to being imbalanced the other way, which is not what Blizzard is looking for in the game, and not what Hunters should be looking for either.
Buffs and nerfs are both important for finding the right blend to keep everyone happy and keep the game more balanced, and the current settings, like all the settings that came before, aren't final. If you're in the Beta, don't complain, explain your actual experiences using the skills, and programmers will be more likely to listen.

Paul Benoit, Airport Authority President and CEO, commented that he was pleased to see the airport's tenants contribute over $2 million of renovations to the make-over of the air terminal building. "With the design of the new stores and the recent expansion of the food court, customers will find the shopping and dining atmosphere at the airport more enjoyable," said Mr. Benoit. "Also, with the new retail and food outlets in the preclearance facility and in the departures lounge, it is more convenient for travellers to shop and eat while waiting for flights."
"People now have a real selection of concessions at the airport," adds Mr. Benoit, "where they can buy a gift or reading material, or they can dine, at the prices they would pay downtown or at a mall."
The air terminal building has gone through two major renovations since the Airport Authority assumed management of the airport. In July 1997, the Authority opened a US Customs and Immigration Preclearance Facility on the second floor, above the baggage claim area. Today's unveiling marks the completion of retail renovations that include new retail outlets and a variety of food concessions in the centre court of the terminal building, as well as the expansion of CARA Food outlets and UCS stores in the preclearance facility and in the departures lounge.
"The Airport Authority is proud of the new level of service being offered to travellers and customers at the airport." Mr. Benoit added, "The air terminal now has services and conveniences more fitting for the National Capital Region."

Senate Bill 1128 is a bill by which college courses in Mexican American history and African American history would not count towards a college degree in Texas public universities. We must stop this bill because college courses that teach about Mexican American history and African American history teach undergraduate students from a critical standpoint; students understand the meaningful contributions from individuals of color that help make this state and our country a great one. Further, students are given a multicultural educational perspective that not only underscores inclusiveness, dismantles stereotypes, and provides an opportunity for students of all racial backgrounds to collaborate towards social justice.
Followers, please take time to sign this important petition. Ethnic studies are indispensable to the liberation and empowerment of all PoC.
Can yall see why I fucking hate this terrible state!! I cant wait to move!
why am I not surprised
What in the ever loving fuck?
This is atrocious. That man should not have any kind of authoritative power. He claims the bill is in order to make sure...
Sign it!!!
