Not to flog a very dead horse, we should get off the stereotypical
designer question.
I'm glad that this has moved into something constructive and is has
become about
discussing the value of stereotypes in design at all.
> There's no need to be upset, Tom.
Perhaps paradoxically, I wasn't upset as a designer of being
'stereotyped' personally (I don't
take myself in relation to my profession), it was at the very concept
of 'stereotypes' being
introduced as a design tool at all...
Lada use of them was very interesting indeed... but effectively putting
them in a place to
move away from.
> If I had asked for what a designer truely is, I wouldn't have gotten
> anything I could work with.
This, in fact, was my primary concern in joining the thread — that you,
as a designer, felt
a need to gravitate immediately to obvious. This, as interaction
designers, is inherently not
what we're about. And Mike has raised the critical issue of 'archetype'
— which effectively
gives us the tool, without the negativity.
The point Ted has raised himself is the crux of the matter. Stereotypes
are always negative and
therefore inherently offensive. They're very dangerous as consequence.
They are after all, without
getting hardcore, often grown out of some sort of discrimination.
My point is that as part of our design process we should be looking to
identify characteristics to
create archetypes that breakdown stereotypes. The value of a good
persona (embodying
archetypal characteristics) is to get team members/clients to think
beyond the stereotypes
and the preconceived notions.
The value of investigating users and their environment has to be to
discover something new
that we didn't already know. If the design process is gravitating
toward a
stereotype, the process is flawed somewhere and negates the value of
the process itself.
I personally have always discovered something I, and the team, didn't
except from good
investigation. Even the face of the most 'stereotypical' problems.
I've also found it possible to create something that people identify
with and recognize that
is not a stereotype.
After all, this exercise has proved that we're very good at we're very
good at coming up with
stereotypes without user research (unless someone would be insane
enough to suggest
that the question was some sort of valid research technique!)
I understand what you're saying, Tom, and I agree with most of it.
However I think you may have misunderstood the reason why I started
the original thread.
First of all it was an off-topic thread not necessarily connected to
interaction design. I simply (mis)used this platform as a means of
getting feedback from many designer types, who I otherwise don't have
much contact to yet.
In communication, especially one-way communication it is vital for the
sender and the receiver to have a common set of symbols so that one
understands the other. My intention was to gather information about
which symbols most commonly were connected to a designer in the minds
of designers, hence asking for the stereotype and clichés, so that I
could incorporate them in my project which should finally result in a
pictograph, showing a designer in a way that most other designers
would understand.
I understand very well that you are concerned about using stereotypes
or clichés and I usually am not a fan of them either, but a good
pictograph lives from clichés. Next time when you are near a public
restroom, look at the symbol for the ladies' room. Then take a look
around you to see how many women actually walk around like that.
I'm sorry if my intention didn't get across to all of you and I'm glad
it got directed on-topic and turned into a somewhat valuable
-- Peter

On 2006-11-08, Scott Caissie
: We just moved over to SSH. Using K95 2.1.3.
: We are now suddenly having issues with idle timeouts. Specifically 1 hour.
: Times you out even on active sessions.
: I'm having problems finding an SSH setting that relates to that.
There isn't one in version 2.1.3.
: Been looking around as to how to fix that. The Set Terminal
: Idle-Timeout/Action doesn't seem to have any role in this.
For the present, you can use SET TERMINAL IDLE-ACTION OUTPUT xxx for this,
together with a suitable SET TERMINAL IDLE-TIMEOUT. xxx would be one
or more characters that is/are likely to be ignored by or at least relatively
harmless to whatever application is running on the host. Such as a Space
or a Nul character.
: I was looking at the patch notes (Jeffrey's v2.2), and the answer seems to
: be there. (listed below). Any info or clues related to SSH timeouts would
: be greatly appricated.
SET SSH HEARTBEAT-INTERVAL will indeed be in the next release.
I have been working almost nonstop for more than year to get authorization
for this release. It so happens that we are at a critical juncture in the
negotiations right now. (I'm not talking about Jeff, this is internal
university stuff.) Some words of encouragement from institutional or
corporate clients as to the value of K95 to their organizations, and its
continued viability through the next 3-5 years could be helpful in this
Address these directly to me if you wish to keep them private.

it's practically non-existant for the Feb. 127 puts (only 8 pennies as i type this, i.e., trading at 2.50 x 2.60 with a price of 124.55); yet for the Feb. 122 calls, the price is 3.30 x 3.40 (80 cents premium). In other words, NOBODY thinks the Dow goes down any more than the 100 points it's down right now.That being the case, i took a shot and bought some 127 puts.
I went near the money a week ago at $1.50 for the March 125 put. Now i'm in the money, but not a lot of premium....yet.When the DOW breaks that 12,450 mark, look out below.We'll test 12,375, and after that 12,150.Tell me what catalysts are left for buyers?
OK, you were wrong, i was wrong. Now let's start all over.When i brought up the subject, i found it interesting that there was hardly any premium for the puts, but the calls had a decent time premium. Now today i see it's the opposite. In other words, some big fellas are betting on a decline from this level (high 12,700's).Let's see what happens with this indicator.
I see what you mean, but I wouldn't say nobody thinks we are going lower. Did you see the open intrest in the Feb 125 put. DIA will be down tomorrow 1/24 and you will be paid. I buy puts that are just out of the money every time we hit a new high. It's been successful 7 times in the last 2 months. I will not bet against the US market long term though.
You're right so far; the Dow is down again like clockwork after hitting a new high. My timing was off, i took a loss before it got out of hand.Btw, did you score on 7 out of 7 tries?

Our Thanksgivukkah gift to you: Where to celebrate the Festival of Lights
Photo: Taylor Glascock/Staff Photographer
We don't know what we're more excited about — that Hanukkah falls on Thanksgiving this year for the first time since 1888, giving rise to the delicious Thanksgivukkah moniker, or that our Dallas Mavs will kick off their first annual public Hanukkah celebration Dec. 3. Either way, we've got the scoop on where you can attend menorah lightings and Hanukkah parties for each night of the holiday except Thanksgiving. All the events are free except the Mavs game (but the candle lighting and refreshments outside at AT&T Plaza are free). -- Nancy Churnin

Property Listing FAQs
Why are my property listings not showing up on AOL Real Estate?
In order for your property listings to appear on AOL Real Estate, you or your real estate broker will need to log in to their ListHub account and subscribe to the AOL feed through the Channels tab. Once subscribed, the office's property listings will appear on AOL Real Estate within 72 hours.
If your real estate broker has already subscribed to the AOL feed through ListHub and your property listing is still not appearing, please troubleshoot using the information below:
- Make sure your property listing is labeled as a residential listing (single family home, condo, town home, detached home, land or rental).
- Was the box on the property listing sheet for IDX, Internet or web checked Yes?If it was not marked yes, the property listing will not appear on the site.
- Is the property listing pending sale or contingent?Typically, only active homes (i.e., those not pending sale) are displayed.
- If applicable, make sure your broker signed the Broker Consent Form with the MLS to approve the posting of property listings to the Internet.
If you have gone through the list above and your property listing is still not displaying, please contact our Customer Care department at 1-800-878-4166.
Why is my property listing appearing twice in the search results?
If your property listing has been entered into more than 1 MLS system, it will appear more than once in the AOL Real Estate search results. In order for the duplicate property listing to be removed, the status of one of the property listings needs to be changed in one of the MLS systems from active to closed, pending or contingent. Alternatively, it can be marked as No in the Internet/Public Display field. If the information has recently been updated in your MLS system, please be advised that it can take up to 72 hours for new information to reflect on AOL Real Estate.
How do I remove my property listing from the AOL Real Estate search results?
To remove all of an office's property listings from AOL Real Estate, the office broker would need to log into their ListHub account and unsubscribe from the AOL feed through the Channels tab. Once unsubscribed, the office's property listings will be removed from AOL Real Estate within 1 business day.
To remove an individual property listing from AOL Real Estate, the status of the property listing needs to be changed from active to closed, pending or contingent in the MLS. If the information has recently been updated in your MLS system, please be advised that it can take up to 1 business day for this information to reflect on AOL Real Estate.
Why is my property listing showing the incorrect bathroom count?
There are a number of ways that the bathroom count may be calculated to display on property listings, dependent on the MLS that the property listing was entered into. To determine whether your property listing is displaying the correct bath count on the Search Results Page, click on the property listing to open the details page and review the bathroom breakdown under the Property Features section. If the information displayed here is correct, then the summary count is correct for your MLS area. If the information displayed in the Property Features section is incorrect, please verify that the information is displayed correctly in your MLS. Please note that if you need to make changes to the information in your MLS, this information will automatically update and appear on AOL Real Estate within 1 business day. If the information is correct in the MLS, please contact Customer Care at 1-800-878-4166 for further assistance.
Why is the school information on my property listing incorrect?
The school information displayed on your property listing is downloaded from your local MLS. If it's incorrect, please verify that the information appears correctly in your MLS. If the information needs to be or has recently been updated in your MLS system, please be advised that it can take up to 1 business day for the new information to reflect on AOL Real Estate. If the information is appearing correctly in your MLS, please contact our Customer Care department at 1-800-878-4166.
Why does my property listing have incorrect or missing property features?
The property features displayed on your property listing are downloaded from your local MLS. If there is any information that is incorrect or missing, please verify that the information appears correctly in your MLS. If the information needs to be or has recently been updated in your MLS system, please be advised that it can take up to 1 business day for the new information to reflect on AOL Real Estate. If the information is appearing correctly in your MLS, please contact our Customer Care department at 1-800-878-4166.
Why does my property listing appear in the wrong city?
The AOL Real Estate search interface uses ZIP codes as assigned by the United States Postal Service. If your property listing is not searchable by ZIP code, please visit http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/citytown_zip.jsp to verify that the ZIP code displayed on the property listing is an actual ZIP code for the city you want it to display in. If the information has recently been updated in your MLS system, please be advised that it can take up to 1 business day for the new information to reflect on AOL Real Estate.
When will changes made on a listing in the MLS appear on AOL Real Estate?
Property listing changes are sent to AOL Real Estate daily. Any changes that you make to your property listing should appear on AOL Real Estate within 1 business day of the change being made.
I am the co-listing agent for my property listing. Why isn't my name showing up?
ListHub automatically pulls property listing information from the local participating MLS board along with the information of the primary listing agent associated with those property listings. We are only able to attach a property listing to one agent as the system pulls only the information of the primary agent listed in MLS. If you would like to have the listing linked to your contact information, the property listing would need to be updated in the MLS to reflect you as the primary listing agent.
I am the home seller. How can i list my property on AOL Real Estate?
"For Sale by Owner" properties cannot be directly uploaded onto the site. In order for property listings to be displayed in a search, they must be entered into an MLS and marked to display on the internet. Please be advised that we show only active residential listings from most MLSs; therefore, if your listing is commercial, pending, or marked exclusive agency, it will not display. There is no charge to download and display the basic listing information from the MLS – this would include up to 4 images and the brokerage information.
This is one of the many advantages of working with a professional REALTOR® in the home buying or selling process. Please contact a local REALTOR® for further assistance or information.
How are home values determined?
The property-related information used in estimating home value is obtained from public records and other sources. While such information is thought to be reliable, it is not guaranteed and should be independently verified. Properties labeled "Not for Sale" are classified as such either because we do not have a record of such properties currently being for sale or because we are not permitted, by contract, law, or otherwise, to designate such properties as currently for sale. For the most accurate and up to date status of this or any other property, please contact a REALTOR.

Manga Hero
This article in the National Catholic Register: Manga Pope on a comic book about Pope Benedict XVI caught my attention. As a young girl, I remember having a comic book about Pope John Paul II and another about Mother Teresa. They captivated me! So, I know that the comic book style can capture a young person's attention in a way that a traditional book may not.
When I looked for it on Amazon, however, it was nowhere to be found. Unfortunately, it was only printed for those who attended World Youth Day. If you read Spanish, you can read it online for free here: Habemus Papam
The good news is that their other comics are more widely available, including Paul: Tarsus to Redemption (Volume 1), Paul: Tarsus to Redemption (Volume 2), and Judith: Captive to Conqueror (Volume 1).
To find out more about the company behind these books, please visit: Manga Hero

A little more on Habemus Papam!, Manga Hero intends to release an expanded 200+ page version of the story. They are aiming to release the graphic novel in October / November.

Shannon of Bottle Pop Party Co. dreamed up this fabulous Art Deco Style Roaring 20s Party for a fun adult birthday party… or "anytime" get together! There's such a great mix of glam details and creative, yet easy DIY ideas here – like the flapper inspired bunting on the cake. For her one pro element, she enlisted Jesyka D'itri Mares to design some seriously gorgeous custom invitations! I love her choice of party password too. ;)
PARTY HIGHLIGHTS to look out for:
– Metallic gold cake with a DIY black fringe bunting
– Prohibition era inspired liquor bottles + playful framed Humphrey Bogart quote
– Art deco style gold and black place settings
PARTY DETAILS, as told by Shannon…
I've been wanting to throw a Roaring 20's party for someone, anyone, so instead of waiting for the right person to come to me, I decided to throw a faux Roaring Twenties party myself! I had grand ideas of an intimate dinner party among friends, with the focus on a stocked bar cart and pretty placesettings.
I enlisted my good friend Katie to be my flapper girl and this is what we came up with! I stuck with black, white, gold and a bit of blue to keep the dark, edgy feeling of prohibition era speakeasies.
I also brought in a bit of the then-popular art-deco in the tablesetting. Almost everything you see was a DIY project, from the liquor bottles to the cake stand to the feather and sequin headband.
I did call in designer Jesyka D'itri Mares to design the gorgeous invitation and she totally delivered with this custom piece. And even though the party was fake, the champagne wasn't… and we finished shooting wishing we really had a 20's party to attend!

PORTLAND – It's not a quality the Beaverton softball team hopes to need throughout the season, but the Beavers' ability to stay poised and rally late was on display Thursday when they fell to Lincoln 13-11 at Delta Park in North Portland.
Down 13-7 entering the seventh inning, the Beavers showed their true offensive capabilities after a flat start dug them a deep hole.
In the inning's second at-bat, center fielder Emily John drove in first baseman Emma Brockman with a strong shot to left-center.
After stealing third, John scored on a stand-up triple by freshman designated player Kaci Krech. Krech then came home two batters later after a dropped ball by Lincoln's right fielder, bringing Beaverton (0-2) within three runs.
"It shows that we can come back as a team and not get down on ourselves," said John, who finished 3 for 4 at the plate.
A two-out bloop single to right field by second baseman Kaitlin Collins gave the Beavers their last run before the team finally fell 13-11.
While the late comeback was encouraging, it would not have been necessary but for an array of early throwing errors that put Beaverton behind the eight ball.
The team fell behind 5-1 in the first inning after making three errors and allowing one passed ball. Lincoln (1-1) pushed its lead to 7-1 in the bottom half of the second when another throwing error scored Cardinals pitcher and cleanup hitter Maggie Clapp.
Beaverton sophomore pitcher Lexi Hamaker ceded the circle to Sav Dixon following three innings of work and the score 10-2. Beavers coach Roni Illias praised Hamaker for her calmness and ball movement in the loss.
"It's so disheartening for a pitcher when it's error after error," Illias said. "I don't know if I could have had the composure she had."
Hamaker was not the only Beaver to show composure after the team's error-packed start. Freshman shortstop Anika Matsumato flashed her glove work in the bottom of the sixth, snagging a line drive over her head with a high leap that deflected attention away from the team's early fielding mistakes.
It was Beaverton's second straight two-run loss to open the season, yet it may just show the youthful team how to handle adversity and compete - even after a lethargic opening.
"We were obviously feeling a little bit down about it," Matsumato said. "I think of it as a lesson. We just taught ourselves how to fix that error."

Data modeling, database design, and overcoming Compulsive Tuning Disorder (CTD) have all been part of the job. As part of the CTD recovery process, he began learning how databases and Oracle in particular actually work.
The revelation was that well-performing databases and applications do not happen by accident, but by design. And "by design" means that you must understand how databases work, and how to make efficient use of the SQL language to create scalable applications and databases. Jared's goal for this book is to make it easier for developers and database administrators to understand and use advanced SQL syntax. There are many features that have been introduced since Oracle 8i, and yet they seem to be seldom used. This book should help rectify that.

Why Do Dogs Bite?Posted Tuesday, November 6, 2012, at 1:39 PM
This is Charlie. He was adopted by a great family and loves to play with his toys.
Dogs bite too, but they don't bite out of anger. I don't believe that is an emotion a dog has. There are various reasons why your dog would bite a human. One such reason is dominance aggression. Due to the lack of leadership by the owner, the dog believes he's in charge. You've never shown him that you are in charge and he knows that someone has to be the leader. Showing a dog you are in charge is quite simple. If the dog wants something, for example his food, you ask the dog to sit, and once he does, he gets his food. This is called, "Nothing In Life Is Free" and it is something every owner should do with their dog.
Another reason for a dog to bite would be his protection of valuables. For a dog, those things would be food, toys, territory, etc. Teaching your dog to trade with you can help overcome this issue. When your dog has something that is valuable to him, offer him something of even greater value. Kind of like you are trading with him and he's getting the better deal. It takes practice. If this is a huge issue with your dog, you may want to only allow him to have that special item when he is in his crate or not have it at all. Don't set your dog up to bite, just remove the trigger.
Fear aggression is probably the most common, yet misunderstood type. Many times people see a snarling, growling dog and think, he hates me and wants to kill me, when in fact, he's actually scared of you. Dogs quickly learn that if they growl and snap at the object that is making them uncomfortable, that object will get away from him, resulting in exactly what they want. Pretty smart huh?
Make sure that you are teaching your children to stay away from any animal that is a new mom as well as her babies. Mommies are very protective of their young and will not hesitate to give you a signal that they want you to stay away. Just respect that and watch from afar.
One of the hardest things to do as a human is to not try and break up a dog fight. It is just our natural reaction to get our hands and bodies between them in order to stop the battle. Many people are bitten because of this. The best way to break up a fight is to throw water on the dogs, make a loud sound, or even throw a blanket over them. Anything to break their concentration long enough to separate them.
As your dog becomes older, watch for signs that he is hurting. One of these signs could be a snap or bite as you attempt to touch him. Take him to the vet to find out what is wrong and what options you have. Humans don't care to be messed with when they don't feel well either.
They last form of aggression is being pestered beyond their limits. Even dogs have a limit to how much they can take. Don't hug a sleeping dog, don't blow puffs of air in a dogs face, don't let children ride your dog as if it was a pony, and don't poke, prod, or tickle a dog. These actions would be the same as teasing a dog. No one likes to be teased, and when pushed to the limit, there will be retaliation.
In order to prevent your dog from biting, pay attention to your dog and watch the signals he is giving you. They don't just bite out of the blue.

I appreciate this information. What we need if a department simular to Dmv. The lawyers r brainwashing us so we dont come up with a preventive solution as it may put them out of a job. They fill dog bite web site w advertisments the after the attack hire a lawyer solution. Attack the attacking dogs owners. Lets not give our money to them. Most dog owners love animals they have compassion hopfully for humans as 9well. I
believe most dog attacks are by ac
cident of a dog getting loose.
Lets educate dog owners require they be
lic to have a dog . Pass a test like dmv. The jobs and money generated would help the majority of people not just a a
dozen dog bite lawyers . Dont ruin famliies on both sides of an attack. Let think about a way to prevent attacks.
Please comment and share ideas so we can make this happen . We need to develop a dept Campare it to driving before the dmv.

Chowsy, I'm a firm believer that education is a powerful tool in combatting many of societies problems.
There are numerous things happening in the animal world that are helping. Rescues and shelters are making sure animals are spayed and neutered before they are adopted, they are screening potential adopters as well as providing them loads of information on how to be a responsible pet owner. The internet and Facebook are providing us with excellent ways to network so much information. But, as they say, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
Making people aware and holding them accountable for their actions is definately something that we all need to work on. Yes, if as much money was spent on educating people as there is on lawyers to try and get out of something the world would be a better place. Do your part, lead by example, and offer advice wherever you can.

My name is Stephanie O'Brien. I'm an animal lover and enjoy volunteering. I have combined those passions into providing a temporary home to animals that would otherwise be sitting in a shelter or worse, euthanized due to lack of room in a shelter. For the past two years I've fostered pit bull type dogs for a rescue in South Dakota. I've also had the opportunity to do some presentations on responsible pet ownership and have been involved in fighting breed specific legislation in SD and IA. I'm looking forward to providing the readers with animal related topics and possibly answer any questions you may have. Enjoy! Stephanie Sioux Empire Pit Rescue Volunteer

LSU 47, Louisville 73 | FINAL
The No. 7 seed LSU women's basketball team's season came to an end Sunday afternoon with a 73-47 loss to No. 3 Louisville in the Sweet 16.
After sophomore guard Danielle Ballard put the Lady Tigers (21-13) ahead 12-9, the Cardinals (33-4) found their stroke from beyond the arc to come storming back. Louisville closed the half on a 32-11 run to grab a 41-23 halftime lead.
The Cardinals extended their lead in the second half and finished with 12 triples. Louisville dished 21 assists on 25 made baskets and never allowed LSU to trail by less than 13 points.
Ballard carried the Lady Tigers with 24 points and 10 rebounds but received little help from the eight-man LSU roster. The Lady Tigers shot 23.9 percent from the floor and turned the ball over 12 times.
LSU 40, Louisville 68 | 3:11 second half
The Lady Tigers are still battling for loose balls and rebounds, but this one is out of reach. Louisville keeps pouring on 3-pointers, and LSU can't buy a basket.
LSU 35, Louisville 60 | 7:55 second half
The Cardinals still have their feet on the gas and are up to 10 triples. Gibbs has five off those off the bench, and LSU is too exhausted to defend in transition. The Lady Tigers haven't scored in nearly five minutes.
LSU 35, Louisville 54 | 11:28 second half
Ballard is single-handedly keeping the Lady Tigers afloat with 22 points, but Louisville's offense is not letting up. The Cardinals have 15 assists on 19 made baskets.
LSU 31, Louisville 49 | 15:28 second half
LSU opened the half on a 6-1 spurt to cut the deficit to 13, but a triple from Schimmel halted the Lady Tigers' run. A lay-up and assist from Schimmel have pushed Louisville back in front, and LSU can't generate any offense.
LSU 23, Louisville 41 | HALFTIME
Balance has been the key in this game -- only three Lady Tigers have scored, whereas seven Cardinals have found the basket. Louisville dished 12 assists compared with LSU's one.
Ballard's early surge died out, but she still notched 14 first-half points. The Lady Tigers trudged through a five-minute stretch without a field goal while the Cardinals made seven 3-pointers and shot 43 percent in the first half.
LSU 18, Louisville 31 | 3:41 first half
The Lady Tigers have no answer for Louisville's 3-point game and have turned it over seven times. The Cardinals' zone defense is giving LSU fits.
LSU 14, Louisville 24 | 8:02 first half
Tia Gibbs hit back-to-back triples off the bench to spark a 15-2 Louisville spurt. The Lady Tigers struggling to find some source of offense other than Ballard, who has taken half of their shots.
LSU 12, Louisville 11 | 11:41
Ballard has scored LSU's last 10 points, knocking down jumpers and getting to the basket. The Lady Tigers' defense is keeping Schimmel in check, holding Louisville's leading scorer to only three points so far.
LSU 6, Louisville 4 | 15:18 first half
Ballard is attacking the rim as usual, and she's got four points and one rebound. The Lady Tigers have been feisty and rotating well on defense, but it remains to be seen if they can keep that up with such a short bench.
The No. 7 seed LSU women's basketball team will try to keep its tournament run alive in a Sweet 16 matchup against No. 3 seed Louisville at 1:38 p.m. today in Louisville, Ky.
The Lady Tigers (21-12) take on the Cardinals (32-4) with only eight active players after losing guards Raigyne Moncrief (knee) and Jeanne Kenney (concussion) in the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament.
The game will be aired on ESPN2 and WatchESPN. Louisville used a 20-0 second-half run to crush LSU, 88-67, on Nov. 14.
The Lady Tigers ran No. 10 seed Georgia Tech off the floor, 98-78, on Sunday before pulling off a thrilling come-from-behind win against No. 2 seed West Virginia Tuesday night. The Cardinals won their first and second round games by a combined 76 points.
The winner will move on to play No. 4 seed Maryland, which knocked off No. 1 seed Tennessee earlier today.
Here are the starting lineups:
LSU: Jasmine Rhodes (G), DaShawn Harden (G), Danielle Ballard (G), Theresa Plaisance (F), McKinney (C)
Louisville: Shoni Schimmel (G), Antonita Slaughter (G), Bria Smith (G), Asia Taylor (F), Sara Hammond (F)

RANGOON — Higher education officials from Australia in the coming years hope to draw more Burmese students to study in their country, the world's third most popular international destination for college-goers, with the land down under holding its first education exhibition in Burma over the weekend.
The Australian Education Exhibition was held at the Sule Shangri-La hotel in Rangoon on Sunday, with 23 leading universities and colleges from all parts of Australia taking part.
The program included information seminars on Australia's education system, the country's student visa application process and the Australian government's Australia Awards scholarship program.
Mark Wood, trade commissioner and counselor from the Australian Embassy in Rangoon, told The Irrawaddy that Australia attracts almost 500,000 students from around the world every year, including around 500 students from Burma.
"Compared to other countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia, it is quite small at the moment. It's similar to Vietnam like 10 or 15 years ago. Vietnam is now Australia's fourth largest source of students. Thailand is sixth largest. Burma is about 46th," he said.
He added that the reason Burma lagged many other countries in the region might be the financial costs associated with attending university abroad, as well as the difficult relations between Burma and Western countries in the past.
"Burma is now emerging into the region and Australia is very keen to help with development of the Burmese education system," Wood said.
He said the Australia government is providing scholarships, in addition to the various scholarships offered by the universities themselves. Canberra will grant scholarships to 40 Burmese students this year and 50 next year, according to the embassy official.
"It's been a very positive response. A lot of people are coming to the exhibition, more than I expected. It's been young people who are just finishing high school or are in their final year of high school with their parents coming to ask us questions," Wood said.
He said he expected the exhibition would increase awareness in Burma about Australia's education system, and would in turn offer Australian universities a chance to understand more about Burma.
"We expect that in the next five or 10 years, the number Burmese students coming to Australia will increase to that same degree as Vietnam and Thailand," he said.
Victoria Robinson, international manager from the University of Wollongong in Australia, said most students who visited to the exhibition were asking about studies in engineering, followed by business.
"Generally students are interested to come to Australia but I think the hardest thing is money. That probably stops people," said C. Todd Palioca, vice president for Asia Pacific at the International College of Management in Sydney.
Having recently passed his matriculation exam, Wai Yan agreed that finding a way to finance an education abroad was a primary concern for many Burmese, but the 18-year-old said he had nonetheless set his sights on school beyond Burma.
"I want to study photography abroad. I finished the matriculation exam here and am now preparing to take the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam," said Wai Yan, who visited the exhibition.
It is a financial cost that deters the brightest and the best in Myanmar. It cost between $35K to $40K a year at a foreign university, not including lodging, boarding and travel.
I would like to see a campus offering on line courses for the Burmese students; better still, foreign University could build a campus in Myanmar like an International School; this will prevent brain- drain by students studying abroad and not returning to Myanmar once they have completed their studies or the likes of Tay Za's can offer scholarships for promising brains with a condition of a five year commitment to the company after completion of their studies.
Young Burmese need exposure to Western values and education in order to clear up a lot of misconceptions they have about the modern world (it's not just about Facebook and K-Pop). Burma has to invest in the future in order to correct the past (even Suu Kyi belongs there!). Investment doesn't always mean money (that's how Chinese think). It's more about reshaping Burma to become a healthy and peaceful country for everyone (not just for the top 1%) Otherwise, Burma will become a province of China just like Tibet. Hopefully, it's not too late!

This year I did a little mind-fuckery on myself. My favorite coating is this winter white wool, woven in a basket weave with a line of what looks like plastic raffia running through it. It's special, trust me. My boyfriend bought it for me from Mood the summer before last (he's still my boyfriend, so the boyfriend dating system doesn't work). I saw it folded up in a corner and thought, "I should at least store this properly on a cardboard roll (stolen from Michael Levine's dumpster).

I've used the classic Tailoring book that everyone relies on, but also have referred heavily to Gertie's book, her Starlet Suit Jacket video and her Lady Grey tutorial. I've made a bunch of mistakes, but none too terrible, the only meaningful one is that my bound buttonholes are monstrously thick. I would have done better to use Julia Bobbin's technique.
Onward and upward! I'm going to tackle the sleeves today. Oh, I made another mistake with the sleeves, cutting them with a 5/8" hem, rather than the 1 5/8" hem. I'm thinking of stitching some grosgrain ribbon to the bottom of the hem to extend it, thoughts?

Lately people are talking about Chris Paul bouncing to another team,and while all this chatter is happening i have been thinking about one thing,is carmelo waiting for chris paul to move?we all know he has a very very very lucrative deal with the 3 year $65 million dollars proposed by denver,but it seems that he is waiting for something to happen before deciding what to do.So maybe,just maybe him and CP3 are planning to bounce to the knicks,only if it can happen.So lets say chris paul goes to the magic(most realistic choice)carmelo will either join amare,or stay in denver and we all know he will stay in denver because the whole point of them thinking about leaving is to beat the big 2 plus 1.so if paul says the knicks are his first choice okay,but what if he doesnt get that wish and the hornets say "your with us for 2 more years,deal with it" then what are we going to do?I strongly believe and this is just me,that CP3 will ask management for a trade to the knicks,then right after he gets traded,carmelo will turn down that extension and become a FA this summer.But lets not forget also that CP3 has no power in him staying or leaving,its all about management.bet you guys are glad we didnt draft darren collison or there wouldnt be no CP3 rumors right about now lol.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
I'd rather keep our flexibility and young talent. If both of these guys evolve into solid NBA players we have cheap talent right now that we can add too, then we could start handing out extensions in the future that carry us over the cap and into luxury tax territory. We'd have a budding Dynasty on our hands if that happened.
If Okafor has to come with CP3, I say forget it and lets continue on the road we're heading down. Don't sell the farm for one guy if it's going to handcuff us in the near future when right now we have a solid team with young talent and options.
Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.
Notice it's always what ifs with the Knicks... It's never when this happens... When Lebron comes to NY, when Chris Paul or Melo sign with the Knicks. I think It's time the Knicks stop waiting around on these players and move on. Offer whatever they want for Chris Paul, and if it means not having enough cap next year to sign Melo than so be it, it's not guaranteed he is coming here anyway. The Knicks so far have done all the right moves this offseason. If they can get Chris Paul and Amare playing together, that is better than Nash and Amare and Phoenix once those two get their chemistry going.
Chris Paul and Okafor takes away any flexibility we have going forward and in all likelyhood takes away some more first round picks. So we'd have Paul and Amar'e minus our young talent, minus the ability to supplement the team further with top tier FAs in the next few years because of Okafor's deal that runs through 2014 and the extension we'd have to give Paul, minus the ability to supplement the team with first round draft picks that we traded away to get rid of bad contracts in the past and even more to get Paul.
I rather the scenario where we see what Gallo and Randolph give us going forward teamed up with STAT, and the ability to actually sign FAs going forward (whether or not that FA's name is Melo is irrelevant, cap space is king, without it...you don't even have the ability to do anything without compromising)
If Gallo and Randolph turn into players that we simply can't part with and neither one is 25, we're set going forward since we'd have both of their Bird Rights. If they don't pan out, they're cheap and not under any sort of long term contract that's going to pay them $56m over the next 4 years in guaranteed money (Okafor.) I don't want to gut the team to take that burden.
Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.
I understand building for the future, but this in NY and after not making it to the playoffs for 10 years straight, I think its time we concentrate on now and not the future.
Bottom line.
Carmelo+felton>paul. And I'm not even including gallo and randolph and douglas being lost in trade and taking on okafors contract.
I'm not takin okafors contract and givin up all my ypoung talent. I'm ready to roll with what I got. Melo needs to force a trade like pual is doing. I'd give up gallo. Melo c u next year.
The reality is if NO doesn't want to trade Paul it'll take A LOT of assets to convince them otherwise. It's not worth it, especially since he's going to be a FA in 2 years.

Panel: Veil and Veiling in Europe, 1450-1650: Revisiting
From St. Paul's letter to the Corinthians and Tertullian's 'On the Veiling Virgins' to the decrees of the Council of Trent, the veil, and the custom of veiling women's hair, has historically been the premise of discourse regarding gender and religious identity in early and medieval Christian societies. However, the significance and function of the veil became far more complicated in early modern Europe than in previous centuries as early modern European society experienced a crisis of order. Both religious and civic leaders reinforced the need for women to cover their heads and emphasized the veil, including its fabric, style, and colour, as an indicator of women's different social statuses and, most importantly, their personal and familial honour or shame. Because social norms necessitated that every woman own some form of headcovering, the act of veiling, the refusal to don a veil, or even the way that a woman chose to wear the veil could reveal her regional or ethnic identity, political affiliation, or religious confession.
By using multiple disciplines and sources, it is possible for scholars to put forth a variety of questions about early modern veiling practices, including: 1) How did early modern Europeans define, or redefine, the veil? 2) How has the tradition of veiling challenged during the movements of the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation? 3) What were the contemporary religious accounts of veiling women's hair? 4) How did women consider the necessity to veil themselves? 5) Because the custom of veiling could vary from place to place, to what extent could women negotiate their right of expressing themselves under the legislation of local government and religious authority? 6) What were the consumption patterns of headcoverings, in general? Above all, the session aims to question how we can reconsider the female experience vis-ŕ-vis the veil and the practice of veiling in early modern Europe. Therefore, we would like to invite papers that focus on fresh materials, new angles, or special cases regarding the object of the veil and the custom of veiling. Given that this was a global issue in the early modern world, papers concerning Asia and the Middle East are also welcome and will be presented as contrasting examples.
Please e-mail a short CV and a 150-word draft to both Mary Kovel (University of Arizona) email@example.com and Chia-hua Yeh (Queen Mary, University of London) firstname.lastname@example.com by the 25th of May, 2011.

People are to celebrate the opening of a rain garden at Franciscan Earth Literacy Center Saturday afternoon.
Katie Spotz, a Girl Scout who holds the world record for the youngest person to row solo across an ocean, is to assist with the celebration.
The garden was funded by Tiffin Charitable Foundation and was designed and built by Brownie, Junior and Cadette Girl Scouts. Heidelberg University provided guidance for the project.
The project sought to introduce girls to Girl Scouts and to work with existing Girl Scouts to teach them about environmental awareness. The culmination of the "Go Green" program was to build a rain garden next to the zero-energy house at Franciscan Earth Literacy Center, said Linda Harvey, environmental and outdoor educational specialist for Girl Scouts of North East Ohio.
"The girls have been working and learning all summer about various environmental issues," she said.
Harvey said the rain garden is built in layers so that when the run-off water goes through it, toxins and impurities get caught in the roots of the plants and the layer of sand. She said when it gets into underground bodies of water, it is purer. The water eventually makes its way into water systems.

How to participate
The celebration is 2-5 p.m. Saturday at Franciscan Earth Literacy Center, 194 St. Francis Ave., and includes remarks by Katie Spotz, hands-on demonstrations, games and snacks. The event is free.
The garden, measuring about 25 feet by 12 feet, is home to plants that all are native to Ohio. Water from the zero-energy house and the surrounding area will run through the garden, Harvey said.
Saturday's event is free and is to include various activities. Spotz, whose cause is to help provide fresh drinking water for everyone on the planet, is to show a 20-minute slide presentation and answer questions.
"She was a Girl Scout and is now an adult Girl Scout," Harvey said.

SYCAMORE - Mike Mathey doesn't buy 50-50 tickets during his Mohawk boys basketball games.
It wouldn't have mattered if he had or not Friday night.
His team couldn't buy a bucket against Calvert as the Senecas raced past Mohawk, 60-36.
Article Photos
Calvert's Drew Ritzler fights his way through Mohawk defenders Mitch Parker (5), Gunnar?Johnson?(back) and Grant Gucker during Friday's game in Sycamore.
"They're a tough matchup but the main thing is we had trouble putting the ball in the hole. We couldn't get a basket to go," Mathey said. "We're getting good looks. I remember several layups in the first half not dropping and some in the second half not dropping. You run into those nights."
The Warriors were 13 for 51 from the field and just 8 for 20 from the line.
Meanwhile, Calvert coach Ted Willman should have considered maybe buying a ticket as his club was nearly 50-50 on making its baskets (23 for 48).
"Part of that was we made the extra pass and hit the open guy tonight," Willman said of the shooting numbers. "We worked a lot on what they do against their zone and how they cover that. Guys were looking for those things and I think that was a big part. Guys that had those open shots, knocked those down tonight."
Mohawk led 2-0 to open the game but it was quickly erased and by the end of the first quarter with Calvert in control 18-8. The Senecas really put the pedal to the floor in the second quarter, stretching the lead to 35-13 by halftime.
"I thought we came out tonight and played with a little more enthusiasm. I told the guys at halftime that when we're knocking down the shots, the game is pretty easy," Willman said. "I thought we did a pretty nice job in the first half, making the extra pass, hitting the open guy. We were knocking shots down, so when you're doing that, defensively you tend to play a little bit harder and work a little harder, when that's happening."
One of the big keys to getting that large margin was rebounding as Calvert held a 25-10 margin on the glass in the first half. The Senecas were effective scoring in transition while keeping their turnovers even with Mohawk.
The Warriors (3-15, 1-6 Midland Athletic League) trimmed the lead by three by the end of the third quarter, 48-29, but the Senecas iced the game at the line in the fourth.
"We focused on practice this week to have a lot of energy from the beginning," Mathey said. "I felt we came out and we played hard right from the get go. We just have to maintain that for four quarters now."
Calvert's Mike Bennett (14) and Austin Perry (11) out-rebounded Mohawk by themselves as the Warriors finished with 24 boards. Calvert (5-11, 4-4) had 44 in the game.
"I thought our post players did a nice job of boxing out. That was one of the keys in the locker room before the game, being able to box and break," Willman said. "Because sometimes we just want to go get the rebound but we didn't box first and make contact to make sure and then go get it. I thought tonight our guys did a nice job of boxing, getting the ball and then getting the ball out so we could go in transition."
Mathey said it's a battle he's fought all year.
"We've had this battle all year. We're undersized. I don't start a guy over 6-0," Mathey said. "It makes the rebounding tough. They say rebounding is about who wants it more and it truly is, but being 6-2, 6-3 across the board helps somewhat."
Bennett completed the double-double with 14 points as well. Drew Ritzler led all scorers with 18 points.
Gunnar Johnson paced Mohawk with 10 points and five boards.

By Michael Howell
At the request of the Bitterroot Star, the Department of Labor and Industry has released the human rights complaint filed by former Road Department employee Danielle Senn against Ravalli County, Road Department Operations Manager Dusty McKern and Human Resources Director Robert Jenni. Senn claims to have been discriminated against by the County when they fired her from her job in September, 2013. She alleges that she was fired in retaliation for pursuing justified grievances against McKern and Jenni for violating the rules contained in the employee handbook and for violence in the workplace. She calls the County's claim that she was let go as part of a Reduction in Force related to the potential lack of SRS funding a "pretext."
Senn alleges that after McKern was hired to serve as Operations Manager in November of 2012, he began engaging in intimidation of persons in the workplace by carrying an axe handle around and throwing things at county equipment and damaging it. She alleges he failed to report the damage. Senn also claims to have observed McKern threaten to "kick the ass" of employees while contemporaneously relating stories of personal physical fights in which he had participated. She said he made adverse comments about the age of the road crew and said they should all retire. She claimed to have witnessed McKern belittling an overweight crewmember's eating habits. She also accuses him of engaging in profanity-laced tirades about his employment.
Senn claims that McKern would walk into the breakroom and say to the crew, "Good morning, you motherf…..s." She allegedly witnessed Mckern come into the office when a crew member was in there and tell them to "get the f… out, what the f… are you doing in here! Get back to f…..g work!" She claims he spoke like this on multiple occasions. McKern was also observed using the county vehicle for personal uses.
After Senn took these complaints to Human Resource Director Robert Jenni, McKern confronted her, saying she had "ratted him out" and then told her to "f..k off."
Senn then took complaints about both men's behavior through the grievance process with the Board of Commissioners. She claims they validated some of the grievances lodged against McKern, denied others and refused all grievances lodged against Jenni. Following the grievance hearing, Senn was terminated "on the pretext that lack of SRS funding necessitated restructuring the administrative functions within the Road Department."
Senn's complaint alleges discrimination, violation of fair practices and retaliation. She requests as remedy actual damages for loss of wages and benefits and medical expenses; re-employment in a comparable position to the one lost; insulation from the Human Resources Department; an outside investigation of the county's employment policy, including a county-wide survey of county employees to ascertain the nature, extent, and causation, if any, for the County's non-compliance with the governmental code of fair practices and its employee handbook; training for McKern in the areas of fair employment practice, anger management in the workplace, violence and profanity in the workplace, and non-discriminatory treatment of employees. She also asks that Jenni receive training on the conduct of employee grievances, human resource investigations, confidentiality of investigations, discipline for violation of the employee handbook, discrimination, fair employment practices in government, violence and profanity in the workplace and all forms of retaliation.
She asks that the County Commissioners also receive the same kind of training as the Human Resources Director.
The County, in its response to the charges, denies all of the allegations with a few exceptions. They admit that McKern carried an axe handle to work for a short time, but deny that he used it to intimidate employees. They admit that he damaged a county vehicle by breaking the windshield with his cell phone. They claim that he has permission to use the county vehicle to drive to and from work and to perform incidental personal errands during non-working hours with the county truck. They state that McKern damaged the vehicle during non-working hours and paid personally to have it repaired. They claim he did not know he had to report the incident.
The County also argues that the man allegedly teased by Mckern about his weight was not offended and in fact was upset that Senn was using him to bolster her claims. They admit that McKern used profanity in the workplace "in that he used words that may be frowned upon in professional settings but not necessarily uncommon in the setting in which he worked." They argue that no one else complained and that Senn didn't either "until she became disgruntled for other reasons." The Commissioners ask the Department of Labor and Industry investigator to interview Ravalli County employees in person about the allegations.
The Human Rights Bureau has yet to make a decision in the case. The County settled a Human Rights Complaint alleging wrongful termination lodged by the previous Road Department Secretary for $35,000 and recently settled a wrongful termination lawsuit lodged by the previous Road Department Supervisor for $125,000.

Laura Leighton returning to 'Melrose Place'
Laura Leighton has reportedly joined the cast of The CW's "Melrose Place" reboot, providing continuity to the FOX original.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Leighton would reprise her role as Sydney Andrews, one of the craziest characters on a show filled with crazy characters.
There would, "Melrose Place" fans know, be at least one small complication. Sydney was left for dead in the finale of the show's fifth season and the series progressed onward with the understanding that the character was, indeed, deceased. Of course, the original "Melrose Place" wasn't shy about bringing characters back from the dead, case in point Marcia Cross' Kimberly, whose resurrection provided what many consider to be the show's finest moment.
The trade paper says that Sydney will somehow turn out to be the landlord for the new crop of Melrose Place tenants, played by folks like Jessica Lucas, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Katie Cassidy.
Post "Melrose Place" credits for Leighton included "Eyes," multiple episodes of "Boston Legal" and a slew of TV movies.

The Rolex watch is a status symbol, It's the Rolls Royce of all Watches. If you have a Rolex, you probably have money, It tells others that you have it. This is why it's the most copied watch in the world today.
If you buy direct from a dealer or watch store you will pay full price and get a genuine watch. However it IS possible to get a genuine Rolex watch from newspaper advertisements or better still here on E-Bay. The best deals on a Rolex watch can be found on e-bay.
Lots of the counterfeits now use mechanical movements that lets the sweep second hand glide around the dial chapters, Something common to all Genuine Rolex. Others use a quartz movement where the sweep second hand ticks every second as it steps around the dial, an obvious fake. However Rolex did make a few models that used quartz movements. This was in the 1980's. They soon dropped the idea so don't expect to see this. However a very few Rolex watches again with the quartz where made in 2003, These are the Air King models, rare and quite ugly, dont expect to see one. If it has a second hand that ticks, it's probably a fake. The latest model is the Geneve Cellini, these are classic watches and although produced by Rolex in 2006 the mens versions are Hand-Wound he ladies version has a quartz movement.The watch on the right is fake, note short minute and second hand, they do not reach the minute markers. and they are cheaply just cut square, the genuine Rolex are rounded. Watches showm are the Daytona (Paul Newman)
Some of the anti-counterfeiting methods are:
You can take your watch to a qualified watchmaker and let him/her determine if your watch is genuine Rolex or not. Or you can remove the watchband. Check between the lugs at the 12 position and see if it has an engraved "Registered Design" number. If you see no number, it is fake. Now check between the lugs at the 6 position. Here you should see a serial number of the case. If there is no number, again it is fake.
Small engraved Rolex crown at 6 o'clock on the crystal Most fake Rolex's now have this feature, but use a much cruder and larger crown than Rolex uses. Rolexes crown is difficult to spot with the naked eye. Most replicas have a crown so large you can spot it easily while it's on your wrist.
On gold colored watches, look for signs of wear on the lug ends and on the case backs. Fake Rolex watches will often display area where the gold color has worn off, exposing the cheap white colored base metal of the case below. Check the watch bands and look at the clasp. The Rolex clasp is nicely engraved with the old original Rolex emblem. This appears on both gold and stainless clasps on watchbands.
Another thing to look for is the weight of the watch. Gold Rolex watches are very very heavy as compared to the fakes, which are Very light for their apparent mass. This is because the weight of gold is much greater than the weight of a base metal. Stainless steel Rolex watches also has more weight to them because stainless is also much thicker and heavier than the base metal used in cheap fake watches.
Engraving on band end-links, Some new Rolex models have added model number engravings on the end of the watch end-link. This engraving includes the band model as well as two small Rolex crowns. This however has started to be copied by fake producers.
This great looking Rolex Oyster Datejust is sadly a Fake. Its such a good fake that is also has the Hack Mechanism ( Second hand stops when the crown is pulled out. A standard feature on all genuine Rolex watches) It even has the green Rolex sticker on the back, Hiding clasp just like the original, Gold plated, Screws in the links not pins, Infact all the correct markings in place, I was nearly fooled, but the crown was not scerw-in, and when I opened it and took the back off, It was easy to tell it was not genuine as the workings where cheap and poor quality. plus no Rolex symbol on the wheel inside. or the base plate. Overall a great Replica, only spolit by the inside. Plus a spelling mistake on the fake certificate.
The Tudor.
Rolex do also make a watch called the Tudor. They are basically the same watches, some may have fewer jewels and they are not so highly advertised, but in general the same watches, and still made by Rolex. It is VERY rare to come across a fake Tudor. Why? It's really like going out buying a Roll Royce and sticking a Ford badge on the front.
Most genuine Rolex owners like the name, the brand and class that a Rolex projects. Either here is a successful man/woman or someone that wants the best. The Tudor has none of this its just a great watch. Producers of fakes will not go to the trouble of copying a Tudor, when the final sales price will be lower.
When buying a Rolex on eBay, as always deal with someone who have a proven track record in selling Rolex watches. Check out the feedback. How long have they been selling on e-bay? Another thing to look for are sellers who have all documents associated with the Rolex you are thinking about buying.
Always ask a seller questions about any Rolex watch that is offered for sale on eBay. A good seller will always answer any questions that you have. A new e-bay scam just started, is a seller buying a mass of 0.99p items to obtain good feedback, and then start selling expensive items and fakes. He or She could be just selling out of an Internet cafe, so always check out all the feedback. See if they have been selling for a long time. If they have great. Enjoy your Rolex, It's a great investment.
What do I do If I discover my Rolex is a fake? If you bought it on e-bay and paid by pay pal. Contact pal pal. Plus contact the local Police, they have a department to investigate fruad, and scams like this. It will help others in the future. Pal pal will issue investigate, and you will probably get your money back.
Cartier Watches and Fakes.
The Cartier watch is now sadly being mass produced in China. A high end watch store in Hollywood, CA had 3 of them in stock. After an insurance auditor noticed them. The store staff, many with experiance had not noticed the fakes. They had been traded in for Rolex watches. If Experianced staff at such a store ( I cant name the store, ) can be fooled what chance has the average man in the street have. Buy a Cartier only from an authorised dealer, These fakes are really good. Cartier is going to train its own staff and is producing a manual to help with checking to see if its Genuine. Longines, Ball, Zenith, Omega and Brietling have also come onto the fake markets.
May 10th 2007 Mike Korpi from Portland Orgean came back from China with 8 fake Rolex watches. he paid $14.40 each, however when US customs found them he was fined $55,300. This was said to be the value of the counterfiet goods. Mike Korpi said they where for his children and grandchildren. Rolex can sue and demand $100,000 for each watch if they wanted. I dont think they will, but either way this should be a lesson to all. (Money shown is US dollars)
If you are thinking of buying a Rolex, You should consider buying A MOVEMENT IN TIME with BREITLING & ROLEX AN UNAUTHORIZED HISTORY. Its under $20 US and ships anywhere in the world, The book that came out 2007, is used by many watch jewelers throughout the world as a reference guide. I do sell this in my ebay store.
I hope this good has been some use to you. If you have worked hard enough to save for a Rolex, you really dont want to be scammed. Good Luck.

Communities throughout the region are observing Memorial Day Weekend with special ceremonies and parades.
A large crowd gathered at the Williams Township Veterans Memorial in Northampton County Sunday to honor the men and women who died in the service.
"Our son gave his life for this country and many lives were sacrificed for our freedoms," said Sharon Klinger.
Klinger's son, Lance Cpl. Joshua P. Klinger, was killed in Fallujah, Iraq, in 2005. The U.S. Marine was just 21 years-old.
"I lost my dad in the Battle of the Bulge in World War II…I didn't even know him," said Richard Seiffert, a Vietnam veteran who lost his dad when he was just three months old.
A Memorial Day Parade and Memorial Ceremony was also held in Oley Township, Berks County Sunday.
Memorial Day became a federal holiday in 1971, but many of the traditions date back much earlier than that.
Decoration Day was established in the mid 1800s. It started as a day to decorate the graves of those who died in the Civil War.
Family members of fallen heroes said they hope everyone will take a few minutes to remember the true meaning of Memorial Day.
"Remember the sacrifices that were given, and the troops serving for us that let us have the picnics and keep the peace here in the United States of America. And to teach children about sacrifices and the true meaning of Memorial Day," Klinger said.
