Aram my computer friend. :-) Having submitted your LUG Year Book photos! 
Never quake in fear as long as you submitted them.:-)

It's the complete dimwits who deliberately hold off as close to Dec.31 as 
they simply can because?   "THEY MAY TAKE THE PICTURE OF THE YEAR?"
Which in at least 99.999999999% of the time is quite likely completely 
impossible.

It's so much easier to accept you are not in a competition of any kind and 
submit a couple of nice happy snaps. Then sigh gently feeling great that 
little chore is over with! Sigh once again and wait to order your copy of 
the book  1 minute after midnight into 2014.

Then receive your copy of the book a week or so later and you're all twinkle 
toes seeing your two photos in a book! :-) Damn and do you feel good about 
seeing them there?

YOU BET YOU DO! PARTICULARLY WHEN YOU'VE NEVER HAD A PHOTO PUBLISHED IN A 
BOOK?

cheers,
Dr. ted
