Around 80 percent of both Israelis and Palestinians say that an Israeli strike against Iran's nuclear facilities would ignite a major regional war, a joint Israeli-Palestinian survey indicated on Thursday.
It used a sample of 1270 Palestinian adults in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, along with a sample of 600 Israelis.
According to the study's finding, 77 percent of Israeli respondents and 82 percent of Palestinian resopndents said that an Israeli attack on Iran would result in a major regional confrontation.
Regarding the possibility of an Israeli strike without U.S. backing, 65 percent of Israelis were against such a course of action, an increase from 52 percent in June. In addition, only 18 percent of Israelis said they supported an Israeli attack on Iran without U.S. backing.

Although the major applicable market for Explosion Proof/Protected Electrical Equipment i.e. Mining & Oil & Gas industry have become matured but these equipment have found a new customer base across residential and government facilities, entertainment areas and home appliances.
Ø With new oil reserves found in Brazil, Italy and Greenland, the market for explosion proof/protected electrical equipment will surge due to the environmental sensitivity in these areas.
Ø With the boom in LED market, manufacturers are steering towards interfacing explosion proof technology in LED lighting systems.
Ø The ever expanding market for explosion proof electrical equipment has made the competition fierce. It can be understood with recent acquisitions and collaborations: Eaton Corp. acquires Cooper Crouse-Hinds while Marechal Electric Group joined hands with TECHNOR ITALSMEA S.p.A. to expand its operation in Oil & Gas industry with turnover of around $135 million.
Ø Lighting and signaling systems are the most prominent factor contributing to the growth of explosion protected/proof electrical equipment. With new regulations stirring up for safety standards, explosion proof equipment market in electrical domain will surge in the future.

Leading men
Steamboat Springs Ryan P. Browning thinks male athletes could not keep up in a ballet class.
"On the whole, dancers are the strongest people in the world," said Browning, a Steamboat Dance Theatre dancer and choreographer, who also dances professionally. "Men are finally realizing that it's time to put down their sports equipment, put on some dance shoes and become a man."
With the rising popularity of shows such as "Dancing With the Stars," the image of male dancers is changing nationally and locally.
"When you see someone like Patrick Swayze in 'Dirty Dancing,' men realize dancing can be hot, sexy and beautiful," said Julie Tucek, choreographer and artistic director of the dance theatre. "It's exciting to see that male energy on stage. In the four years I have been dancing with the (dance theatre), men have wanted to come in and do more complicated things than in the past."
Tucek said music videos also have helped.
"The male dancers are just as strong and fast-paced as ever and that even comes through in the form of hip-hop," she said. "Dancing is also becoming more complicated and intricate."
A movie sparked Charles Horton's interest in dance 15 years ago.
"I saw a movie about these little old couples in South America dancing the tango. It was nothing fancy, but they looked beautiful together," he said. "I wanted to be able to do that when I'm 80."
Horton has been teaching ballroom dancing in Steamboat Springs for four years, and he specifically addresses men's concerns in his classes.
"Yes, it is a little hard to learn when you've been trained to be manly and not wiggle your hips and all those stereotypes," he said. "It is just learning to be in tune with your body and how you move. Our culture does not instill that in us."
Learning to dance has changed the way Horton interacts with the world.
"I can't understand why more men don't do it," Horton said. "There are women out there who want to dance with you. It's not about sex at all - it's about interacting with another human being, and that conversation of moving together."
Aaron Namura was enrolled in ballet, tap and gymnastics classes by his dancer mother when he was in third grade. He is now realizing the value of his training.
"If a guy can dance, that's more admirable and impressive than anything else," he said. "It's more important than having money or being the all-state quarterback in high school. I don't have much going for me, but I can dance."
When dancer Mauricio Clavery, who has performed in numerous ballet and dance productions in Steamboat, began dancing in Mexico at the age of 16, it was often assumed he was homosexual.
"People would ask me, 'Why do you want to be a dancer? You're not gay,'" he said. "Thank God my family had an open mind."
Tucek said most of the men she danced with in her professional career were straight, but that sexuality really did not matter.
"Women love men who can dance," she said. "It's such an amazing power in that it's breathtaking to see."
Browning views dancing as a way for him to stay flexible and healthy.
"It's sexy, and men don't get a chance to be sexy," he said. "When you have a 90-pound woman in scantily clad outfits draped all over you - what isn't sexy about that?"
Ryan Houck dances because of the challenge of it.
"It makes your mind think in a different way," he said. "And it's a fun way to get exercise."
Pursuing an exercise technology degree is what introduced Kent Nightwalker to the world of dancing. He then went on to graduate with a performing arts degree with an emphasis in dance, and made dancing a career from 1987 to 1997.
"It's like a sport to me and it takes a lot of brain power, and you have to practice a whole bunch. It's a thinking man's exercise," he said. "I think about what a great thing it's done for me and how confident I feel about myself. It's probably unfathomable for a lot of people how rewarding if is to dance for the Dance Theatre - I don't feel like I missed a thing in my life."

Yes, thanks to you my BIOS is fine. I will try WC one of these days. I'm just always worried I will mess it up and fry the components.

|Re: st: Defining variables for the ml procedure
|Mon, 10 Oct 2005 17:02:18 -0400
Ed, Thank you very much for your message, your code does accomplish what I want to do in principle. Unfortunately, however, the regression equation I want to estimate is actually in logarithms: log(consumption) = a + b*(log(c*income[_n-1] + invest)) (I am sorry, I should have mentioned this). In this case, I guess I cannot use this method since it is no longer possible to retrieve the parameter c, right? Would you have any ideas on an alternative method? Thanks again for all your help! Best Regards Bjorn Quoting Ed Blackburne <email@example.com>:
Bjorn, I am perhaps misunderstanding your model. Here is a code snippet you can paste into to Stata and run. ****************Begin do file******************** webuse lutkepohl *** Estimate consumption=a+b*(c*income[_n-1]+invest) *** The reduced form is consumption=a + d*l.income + b*investment *** This is what we will estimate with Stata regress consu l.income invest *** From these estimates, we can recover parameter c. *** Since d=b*c, we have c=d/b *** In Stata speak this is _b[l.income]/_b[investment] nlcom (_b[l.income]/_b[investment]) *************End do file Does that accomplish your task? Let me know. Ed On Mon, 2005-10-10 at 13:47 -0400, firstname.lastname@example.com wrote:Hi Ed, Thank you for your reply. Your Option 2 sounds very promising and I would be very grateful for any hints and advice you might have on how to use it.

By submitting an order or a pre-order (as detailed below in Section 6) you: (a) expressly authorise us to perform such things and to use your information to perform such things and obtain such information about you to or from third parties to, amongst other things, perform identity checks, anti-fraud checks, credit checks, checks arising out of any payment request being referred by your card issuer and such other checks as we may reasonably require for the purposes of verifying that the transaction is genuine and that you have the ability to pay; (b) you agree to submit any further requested information (including any updated information) about you to enable us to carry out such checks and otherwise authenticate your identity and order or pre-order; and (c) you expressly authorise us to validate your credit or debit card with authorisation codes, and failure to agree or provide information in respect of the above within 7 days, or in the case of a pre-order, within the period prior to the stipulated shipping date as set out when the pre-order is placed, may result in the cancellation of your order or pre-order.

With respect to any product ordered or pre-ordered, one of the following will apply: (a) if the product is in stock, it is available to order on our site, according to Section 6.1 (Ordering) below, (b) if the product is out of stock, but new stocks are on order from the manufacturer, or it is an exclusive or special promotions, you may be given an opportunity to submit a pre-order, which will become an order from you when the stock comes into our warehouse, in accordance with Section 6.2 (Pre-ordering) below, or (c) if the product is out of stock or any expected stock has been fully pre-ordered and we do not know when the next stocks will be available, we may invite you to sign up to a waiting list for this product, to be notified when the product becomes available to order or pre-order.

Charlotte Olympia shall be entitled to restrict multiple quantities of a product being shipped to any one customer or postal address. Charlotte Olympia may accordingly limit the quantity of a single product that may be ordered in an order and may reject multiple separate orders for the same product.
6.1 Ordering
Our site is an invitation to offer and not a legally binding offer. To purchase from us, you must submit an order through our site or by telephone. All of your orders are a legal offer to us to purchase on these Terms & Conditions and are subject to availability of stock and acceptance of your offer by us. What this means is that a legally binding contract is not made until you have submitted an order and we have accepted that order as detailed in Section 7 (Acceptance of Your Order) below. However, you authorise us to take payment in advance for your order, before it has been accepted by us.
All orders are subject to availability. Products in your shopping basket are not reserved and may be ordered by other customers. If we have a product in stock and you place it in your shopping basket, but other customers order all the stock before you checkout and submit your order, you may find that the stock has run out. This can happen for very popular products. If this does happen, you may be given an opportunity to pre-order the product, if possible, ready for when we have another batch in stock.
6.2 Pre-Ordering
Where we do not have a product in stock and available for dispatch from our distribution centre, but we have another batch of stock on order from our factory, or in advance of an exclusive or special promotion, we may invite you to submit a pre-order to purchase, we, at our discretion, may provide you the possibility to pre-order that product.
You authorise us to take payment in advance for your pre-order to purchase, at the time you submit your pre-order and the payment and contractual purchase shall be processed and made at the time the order reaches the warehouse and your pre-order is fulfilled as an order, at which stage Section 6.1 shall apply. This will ensure that you receive this product in priority when the product is in stock.
Products received into stock will be pre-allocated and processed to satisfy any pre-orders, on the basis of earliest first, and customers making these pre-orders will receive products in priority to customers on the waiting list or customers ordering through the site following receipt into stock. Your pre-order will automatically become an order when a product is received by us into stock and allocated by us to your pre-order.
Please be aware that there may be times when we may be unable to deliver selected pre-ordered purchased products due to production problems or quality check issues identified when we receive an order into stock. In these circumstances, we may cancel your pre-order and we will notify you by email and refund the pre-order payment to your credit or debit card used at the time of the pre-order.
6.3 Rejection and Correction
We may reject or correct an order for any reason, including if any price or delivery charge is incorrectly stated or otherwise in error or we find that we do not have the stock at all of the right quality to meet it, in which case we will give you an opportunity to withdraw your order and obtain a refund of any payment taken for your order.
Once you have made your choice and your order has been purchased and placed, you will receive an email acknowledging the details of your order.
Except in relation to the purchase of virtual gift cards, this email does not amount to an acceptance of your order and a binding contract is not formed until your order is accepted by Charlotte Olympia will occur, whereby a binding contract will be formed between you and Charlotte Olympia upon receiving an email you to confirm the products have been dispatched unless you cancel the order. In relation to the purchase of virtual gift cards, a binding contract is formed when we confirm your order and take payment.
The sale contract is, therefore, concluded in London, England and the language of the contract is English.
We are not obliged to accept any order you submit and we may refuse to accept an order, cancel any account or order or otherwise refuse service to anyone, at any time, for any reason, at our sole discretion. Typical reasons for not accepting an order may include, without limitation, if we are unable to obtain authorisation for payment, shipping restrictions apply to a particular product, the product ordered is out of stock or the stocks received from our factories do not satisfy our quality control standards and are withdrawn or you do not meet the eligibility criteria (including the respective checks we are required to carry out in order to accept and order) set out within the Terms & Conditions. We are not liable to you or any third party by reason of our withdrawing any merchandise from our website, whether or not that merchandise has been sold, removing screening or editing any materials or content on the site, refusing to process a transaction or unwinding or suspending any transaction after the process has begun.
The price payable for your ordered products and virtual gift cards which you have purchased are as stated on our site, as confirmed in the ordering pages on our site and in any subsequent confirmation we send to you to acknowledge receipt of or accept your order.
The price does not include delivery and a separate delivery charge is payable, which will again be as stated on our site, as confirmed in the ordering pages on our site and in any subsequent confirmation we send to you to acknowledge receipt of or accept your order.
Our prices and other charges are only valid at the time of your visit and may change at any time. Further, certain countries, may be subject to further restriction and international sanctions. We recommend that you contact your local authorities to determine if there are any additional restrictions and any such taxes or costs with such purchase and import price prior to submitting your order.
You agree to pay VAT on the price, delivery charges and any other charges we may make in respect of products purchased, at the applicable rate, at the same time as payment of such price, delivery charge or other charge. VAT means UK Value Added Tax or any other local or regional, value added, sales or consumption tax, levies or any other charges to be paid in any part of the world where the products are being delivered to.
Where the purchased order is to be delivered to a consumer in Europe, then prices, delivery charges and other charges are (unless otherwise stated) inclusive of VAT. For delivery to the Rest of the World, prices, delivery charges and any other charges are (unless otherwise stated) exclusive of VAT.
All prices and delivery charges for purchased products being delivered to a customer in Europe are inclusive of the costs of any customs formalities to import the products into the country or region where the products are to be delivered. Prices and delivery charges for products being delivered to the US or Canada are also inclusive of costs of any such equivalent customs formalities but delivery to the Rest of the World (excluding the US or Canada) to which we deliver, will not include any such costs. You will also be required to pay applicable and relevant duties, taxes, levies or other charges required to be paid to import or payable on import of the products into the country or region where the products are to be delivered or to obtain the release of the products by any import agent, customs or other local or national authority, to the extent not already included in the prices and delivery charges. The above are all referred to as "import taxes and costs" in these Terms & Conditions.
By purchasing from the site you are accepting that you will be responsible and liable to pay all duties, import taxes and costs as may be determined by the country or region that the order is shipped to and accept that the products may be retained by our delivery company or any customs or any other government authority until full payment of such import taxes and costs by you. We are not liable to pay any import taxes and costs and we shall be entitled to charge you any additional costs incurred by Charlotte Olympia to you and you shall pay to us for such additional charge for any import taxes and costs we pay.
Please be aware that if you choose to not pay such import taxes and costs and these import taxes and costs then fall to Charlotte Olympia, we shall be entitled to charge you any additional costs incurred by Charlotte Olympia to you and you shall pay such amount in full to us, in addition to the price and delivery charges, any import taxes and costs, which we may pay. We recommend that you contact your local customs authority to determine the import taxes and costs and a landed cost price prior to submitting your order.
Payment for purchases, whether ordered or pre-ordered products, can be made by such payment cards as are stated on our site from time to time. As at the date of these Terms & Conditions, these are VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Maestro, Visa Debit and Visa Electron.
You agree that by submitting an order or pre-order, this immediately authorises Charlotte Olympia to debit your debit or credit card with the order or pre-order payment on submission of your order or pre-order and implies that you offer to pay Charlotte Olympia if your order is accepted. Payment will be debited and cleared from your account at the time your order, or in the case of a pre-order, when your pre-order is fulfilled as an order and your order is allocated and filled by us. If you withdraw your order or pre-order after placing it and before we have accepted it or we do not accept your order or pre-order, this payment will be refunded to the debit or credit card as soon as possible.
When placing an order or a pre-order you are confirming that the credit or debit card that is being used is yours or that you have been specifically authorised by the owner of the credit or debit card to use it. All credit or debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorise payment to Charlotte Olympia, we have the right to reject the order or pre-order, notifying you by email.
If you are a customer whose credit or debit card is not denominated in currency of the order, you should note that your card issuer will charge you for any currency exchange at the exchange rate applied by your card issuer at the time your card issuer processes the transaction. You should check with your card issuer what you can expect to pay in your own currency, before submitting your order.
We take reasonable care to make our site secure. All credit or debit card transactions on this site are processed using a secure online payment gateway that encrypts your card details in a secure host environment. In respect of any saved card details, we will only ever store the card type, the last four digits of the card used and the expiry date and such card details will never be shared with third parties and will only be used to process your order, using our payment partner's safe payment platform systems. To help ensure that your shopping experience is safe, simple and secure, Charlotte Olympia uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. Furthermore, we take reasonable care, in so far as it is in our power to do so, to keep the details of your order and payment secure, but in the absence of negligence on our part, we shall not be liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the site.
Charlotte Olympia virtual gift cards are sold subject to the following Terms & Conditions. Virtual gift cards are only available for purchase on the site in GBP, Euros or USD, with a minimum spend of £50 / €50 / $50 depending on the currency chosen. Virtual gift cards are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. Any balance on the card remaining after those 12 months will be forfeited and lost. They can only be redeemed against products on the Charlotte Olympia site and cannot be used against purchases in any of our stores. Virtual gift cards can only be redeemed against an order, which is being made in the same currency as the gift card. The purchase of a virtual gift card will not be considered as any part of a Qualifying Purchase. However, an already purchased virtual gift card may be used as payment for products which amount to Qualifying Purchases and as payment for products within the Secret Closet section itself. For further detail, see section 14 below. Virtual gift cards are non-transferrable by the person for whom they are bought and may not be returned or redeemed for cash.
Please ensure you keep a record of the unique virtual gift card code as you will need to enter this at the checkout page when placing orders. You may check your virtual gift card balance on the site via the virtual gift card link in the footer of our site or at the checkout when placing an order. Where the value of your order total is less than the value of the virtual gift card, the balance of the virtual gift card will remain on the virtual gift card and can be redeemed against subsequent orders. Where the value of your order exceeds the value of the virtual gift card, all balance of such order exceeding the value of your virtual gift card must be paid by credit or debit card. Where you return products you have purchased using a virtual gift card, you will receive an email from Charlotte Olympia customer care with a replacement virtual gift card for the appropriate refund amount. Returns of products, to the extent paid using a virtual gift card, will not be refunded in cash and will be refunded only as value to the virtual gift card or as a separate virtual gift card. Virtual gift cards are emailed to the recipient once the full order has been processed and payment has been taken. A copy will also be sent to the sender as confirmation of dispatch. Charlotte Olympia is not liable for delivery of a virtual gift card to an incorrect or non-existent email address; this is the sole responsibility of the purchaser to provide a valid email address for the intended recipient. Charlotte Olympia is not responsible if a virtual gift card is lost, stolen, destroyed or used without permission. Charlotte Olympia shall be entitled to cancel a virtual gift card if we deem such action necessary.
Promotion codes are non-transferable and there is no cash alternative. Furthermore, promotion codes cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotion code or offers (unless explicitly stated), other than virtual gift cards, and must be redeemed by the date published, if provided.
This Section 14 sets out the relevant terms and conditions that shall apply to qualifying Charlotte Olympia's registered customers. The programme is known as "Secret Closet", (and this Section 14 may be referred to as the "Secret Closet Terms & Conditions"), which a customer may qualify for based on the qualifying steps as set out below.
The Secret Closet programme allows registered customers to purchase certain products available to that customer within their Secret Closet section upon logging in with their registered account. The customer will be provided the opportunity to purchase certain products at a reduced price, in the manner detailed herein this Section 14. A customer's revised Secret Closet may be individual and may not be the same for each customer. Further, the products listed in Secret Closet may be finite in number and, therefore, may have be limited in availability. Any price reduction shown will be against the original online Charlotte Olympia price of the product being purchased, whereby the original Charlotte Olympia online price will be the one that was first on the same local Charlotte Olympia site as the one the customer is seeking to make the Qualifying Purchase on.
You will automatically qualify for the Secret Closet section, if you are (a) over 18, and (b) already a registered customer at the time of purchase or become one as at the time of your qualifying purchase, and (c) you purchase any products over £100 / €100 / $100 from www.charlotteolympia.com (except for the purchase of any virtual gift card, which is excluded from a qualifying purchase under these Secret Closet Terms & Conditions) or Charlotte Olympia have provided you with an individual promotion code, and (d) the products ordered are not returned or exchanged (together being, a "Qualifying Purchase").
With respect to Qualifying Purchases over £100 / €100 / $100, the currency applicable to a customer shall be determined by the local Charlotte Olympia site, on which the customer is logged onto. For example, if a customer is logged on in the UK, the qualifying currency will be GBP, the Qualifying Purchases will be £100 or over. The different local Charlotte Olympia sites are (i) United Kingdom where products are purchased in GBP (£), (ii) Europe (excluding the United Kingdom), where products are purchased in Euros (€), (iii) the US and Canada, where products are purchased in US dollars ($), and (iv) the Rest of the World, where products are purchased in Euros (€). While the purchase of a virtual gift card will not be considered as any part of a Qualifying Purchase, a customer may use an already purchased virtual gift card to as payment for their Qualifying Purchases.
Customers who qualify for the Secret Closet section based on a purchase above £100 / €100 / $100 from www.charlotteolympia.com shall have access to the products in the Secret Closet section for 3 months from the date of the Qualifying Purchase. If a customer makes a further Qualifying Purchase, access to the Secret Closet section will be reset to 3 months access from the date of the most recent Qualifying Purchase. However, if the customer returns their items from a Qualifying Purchase, the customer may have their access to the Secret Closet section revoked. Customers who exchange a full priced item, may still qualify if the new goods for which the customer exchanges the original Qualifying Purchase for, are not returned, and also amount to a new Qualifying Purchase.
The Secret Closet section will be accessible to a qualifying registered customer making a Qualifying Purchase and will become visible upon their logging in. If a customer has earned access to the Secret Closet section across different local Charlotte Olympia sites, they can contact Charlotte Olympia Customer Care to confirm which any one local Charlotte Olympia site they would prefer to access should there be any difficulties. For any enquiries or questions on this, you may contact Customer Care by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or by telephone on +44 (0) 203 5982 955.
If you have qualified and obtained access to the Secret Closet Section, the Charlotte Olympia products will be visible to you upon logging into our website, using your registered email address.
Upon obtaining access to the Secret Closet section, you may purchase any product (including payment for products using an already paid for virtual gift card) in your Secret Closet section as set out herein this Section 14.2. For any enquiries or questions on this, you may contact Customer Care by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or by telephone on +44 (0) 203 5982 955.
Any revised price reduction shown to a product in the Secret Closet section have been applied will be against the original online Charlotte Olympia price of the product being purchased, whereby the original Charlotte Olympia online price will be the one that was first on the same local Charlotte Olympia site as the one the customer is seeking to make using their purchase within the Secret Closet section.
Until you are a registered customer on the Charlotte Olympia website, any access obtained to your Secret Closet section will not be accessible, and you will not have access to any products and revised prices contained in this section.
The purchase of products by a customer's in the Secret Closet section is only valid for use by that member to whom it was issued and is not transferrable to any other person. All purchases made in the Secret Closet section shall be for personal use only and any products purchased thereunder shall not be made for available for secondary sale. Charlotte Olympia shall be entitled to limit the cumulative number of purchases in the Secret Closet section.
The price reductions offered in Secret Closet have no cash value and cannot be used for previously made purchases and is not valid in conjunction with any other loyalty programme which Charlotte Olympia may run (whether in-stores or other Charlotte Olympia website) or other promotions, promotion codes or offers (unless explicitly provided by directly to customers by Charlotte Olympia in respect of the Secret Closet section), or pre-ordering options available under the Terms & Conditions and shall only be valid online at the Charlotte Olympia website.
The relevant reductions offered to registered members in the Secret Closet section are limited to those products which Charlotte Olympia may choose to list and are shown in the Secret Closet section. However, stock in this section may be limited and may vary in each local Charlotte Olympia site.
Charlotte Olympia reserves the right to refuse to grant access to any Secret Closet section to any customer and to remove a customer's Secret Closet section from your account at its sole discretion.
The Secret Closet Terms & Conditions are subject to the Terms & Conditions (including Charlotte Olympia's Returns & Exchange policy) and Charlotte Olympia reserves the right change these Secret Closet Terms & Conditions at its sole discretion, including any suspension, amendment or termination of the Secret Closet section, partially or in its entirety, and at any point in time. Where there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between these Secret Closet Terms & Conditions and the Terms & Conditions, the Terms & Conditions shall prevail.
A customer's use of the Secret Closet section or any purchase of products in the Secret Closet section is agreement of a customer to be bound by bound these Secret Closet Terms & Conditions in this Section 14 (Secret Closet).
For any enquiries or questions, you may contact Customer Care by emailing email@example.com or by telephone on +44 (0) 203 5982 955.
NOTICE TO RESIDENTS OF NEW JERSEY, USA: Your rights are protected under the Truth-in-Consumer Contract, Warranty and Notice Act and New Jersey law generally, as well as the Federal laws of the United States. The provisions in the Terms & Conditions, including these Secret Closet Terms & Conditions are different than the rights you might enjoy under the laws of New Jersey or the federal law of the United States: clause 22 (Your Activity), clause 23 (Limits on Our Liability) and clause 26 (Governing Law and Jurisdiction). Your rights regarding matters arising under these specific provisions will be governed by applicable New Jersey law and not by these Terms & Conditions (including the Secret Closet Terms & Conditions). To the extent that any other provision in the Terms & Conditions (including the Secret Closet Terms & Conditions) violates the current or future laws of New Jersey, that provision will be of no force or effect as to residents of New Jersey. In the event of any conflict between these Terms & Conditions (including the Secret Closet Terms & Conditions) and New Jersey law, New Jersey law will govern.
Charlotte Olympia insures each purchase during the time it is in transit until it is delivered to your specified delivery address. Charlotte Olympia will deliver all products to the delivery address in your order subject to the following terms.
Charlotte Olympia requires a signature on delivery of all orders. If you have specified a recipient who is not you for delivery purposes (for example as a gift) then you by placing an order or a pre-order you accept that evidence of a signature by them (or at that delivery address) is evidence of delivery and fulfilment by Charlotte Olympia.
We aim to accept and dispatch all orders in the time periods set out in our Delivery, Returns & Exchange Policy published on our site, if the products are in stock or have been received into stock; however, longer time periods may apply during sale periods or during a period of heavy demand. All stated delivery times are estimates only and should only be used as a guide. For pre-orders, no delivery times are given and delivery will depend on receipt of the products into stock from our factories and any estimates as to when products will be received into stock are purely indicative and may change.
You must comply with Section 10 (Import Duties and Taxes), which requires you to pay all import taxes and costs and will be subject to the following requirements. You are also responsible for obtaining at your own risk and expense any import licence or other official authorisation or other documents to obtain import of the products and you must carry out any customs formalities (including appointing and paying import agents) necessary for the import of the products. Charlotte Olympia is not responsible for any delays caused by destination customs clearance processes and you must pay all additional costs incurred, if you fail to arrange and pay for any import costs or charges or fail to carry out your responsibilities above.
Due to international trading agreements and regulations, Charlotte Olympia must adhere to particular shipping restrictions. As a result, we are unable to send exotic skins such as snakeskin and crocodile outside of the Europe. If you add a product to your shopping bag that we are unable to ship to your country, it will be automatically removed from your shopping bag at check out. Alternatively, you can change your shipping address to a delivery address in the Europe, as such restrictions do not apply for delivery in the Europe.
Further, title to the products will pass to you on delivery. Risk in the products will pass to you also on delivery, unless you fail to comply with your import responsibilities under Section 10 (Import Taxes and Duties) or this Section (Delivery Terms and Shipping Restrictions on Certain Products), in which case risk will pass at the point you fail to comply with those responsibilities.
This Section 16 sets out our standard policy for returns and exchanges for products purchased (the "Charlotte Olympia Standard R&E Policy") for the UK, Europe (except where the CRs apply) and all other countries that we deliver to outside the UK and Europe (the "Rest of the World") and we agree to allow you to return your purchased products for a refund or exchange in accordance with the following policy. This is an alternative to cancellation under the Consumer Contract (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2014 ("CRs"), covered by Section 17 (Cancelling Your Order Under the Consumer Contract Regulations) below. The CRs shall automatically apply to all customers in the UK, Europe or where a purchased order is being sent to a European address. If you are such a customer, we will assume you are cancelling under the CRs, however, if you request a return authorisation code we will assume you are cancelling your order under the Charlotte Olympia Standard R&E Policy.
When you request a return, you must either specify that you would like a refund or an exchange within 14 days from the day you receive your ordered product, in accordance with Section 16.3 (Delivery and Collection of Returns and Exchanges) below. All purchased products being returned (including those being exchanged) must be returned in full (including those being exchanged) including in their original condition, unused, undamaged, unsoiled, unaltered and complete with all original Charlotte Olympia packaging. In the case of the ABC collection or any other products which a customer may be able to customise or personalise, these must be returned in an unsued, undamaged, unaltered, uncustomised and unpersonalised condition, and in the condition as originally received including with all original Charlotte Olympia packaging or any bespoke packaging for such product and without goods having been customised or personalised by customer. All boxes, dust bags, heel tips, polaroids and all other things included with your purchase should be included with your return, in an unused state, and are deemed part of the product. All shoes should only be tried on a carpeted surface until you are certain you are keeping them. We are not obliged to accept returns that do not meet the above conditions and we may (a) refuse a refund in such case and (b) send such products back to the customer or require the customer to arrange for their collection from us, in each case at the customer's cost.
Unless you have asked for an exchange, we will refund to you the price, for the returned purchased products, within 14 days of receiving the products back at our warehouse in compliance with the return conditions above, less any shipping charges and your refund will be credited to the original payment card. Card refunds may then take up to 10 business days for your bank to complete, depending on their processing time. You will receive a notification email upon completion of your refund.
Unless the products were received by you damaged or faulty, we will not be obliged to refund to you any shipping or any amounts paid by you to us with respect to export or import taxes and costs. Further, import taxes and costs, whether paid by you directly or paid by you to us, may be non-refundable. You may however be able to recover import taxes and costs by contacting your local customs bureau directly.
Returned products, to the extent your purchased product was paid using a virtual gift card, will not be refunded in cash and will be refunded only as value to the virtual gift card or as a separate virtual gift card.
EUROPE AND THE REST OF THE WORLD: Different delivery charges will apply for addresses in Europe and the Rest of the World. Such delivery and collection charges are set out on our site.
If you ask for an exchange of your purchased product, you may only exchange your product for the same colour product, but of a different size. You may not exchange your product for a different product or the same product of a different colour, unless we agree on a case-by-case basis in our sole discretion at the time. Exchanges will be subject to stock availability. We will notify you if an exchange is possible.
Exchanged products will be dispatched to you upon our warehouse having received the original products (or any previous exchanges) in the return condition required above in the first paragraph of Section 15.1, which shall be incorporated herein, and all other delivery and collection charges have been paid by you. Where there is difference in price between the exchange products and the original products, either you must pay the difference before we are obliged to supply the exchanged products using the original payment card or we must refund you the difference in accordance with the refund terms above, less any deductions or withholdings we are entitled to make, each as the case may be. In respect of further exchanges, we may, at our sole discretion, refuse such further exchanges for a product after the first exchange, particularly, if we have reason to suspect that you are not acting in good faith.
REST OF THE WORLD: Exchanges delivered to destinations in the Rest of the World will be processed for customs clearance and therefore any relevant import duty and tax charges may apply. This means that you will be responsible for paying for import taxes and costs for the exchange products and arranging for their import in accordance with Section 11 (Import Duties and Taxes) and Section 15 (Delivery Time and Shipping Restrictions on Certain Products).
The following shall apply for all returns and exchanges under the Charlotte Olympia Standard R&E Policy and not where the cancellation of an order is under the CRs. In order to return or exchange a purchased product, you must request a return collection within 14 days from the day you receive your ordered products by emailing or speaking to Charlotte Olympia Customer Care, the details which are set out immediately below. Otherwise, you will cease to have any right for a refund or exchange under the Charlotte Olympia Standard R&E Policy. A returns arrangement can be requested and returns can be arranged by emailing email@example.com or contacting Charlotte Olympia customer care by telephone on +44 (0) 203 5982 955. All returned products should include any authorisation or identification codes provided to you by Charlotte Olympia Customer Care as well; unidentified returns may be returned to the sender and the Charlotte Olympia Standard R&E Policy will cease to apply to such products. You must allow us to collect your unwanted products from you or return your unwanted products to us, as directed by us, within 14 days of arranging your returns with us or by such later time as we may allow.
Where you are returning the purchased products, the unwanted order must be returned to Three14 Limited, Returns Department, Unit 1C & 1D, Phoenix Brewery, 13 Bramley Road, London W10 6SZ. Except for the first successful collection attempt of an original product, which is offered free of charge, such products and the costs associated with their return to us, including shipping costs will be at your own expense, including any attached VAT, customs or duties charges that may be charged on your returned purchased products being sent back to the UK (from outside of the EU). If you arrange for such return, and your return incurs VAT, customs or duties charges, these costs will be billed to you, whether at first instance or charged at a later date to you by Charlotte Olympia, who has initially borne such costs on your behalf. Further such products will remain your full responsibility and at your risk until accepted at our warehouse. We recommend that you return the products to us by secure means to ensure that they reach us in good condition and insure the return shipment, as you are under a duty to take reasonable care of the products and will be liable for damage to them until we receive them at our warehouse. For these reasons, we strongly recommend that you arrange the collection of your returned purchased products through Charlotte Olympia Customer Care and our courier services as set out below.
Where Charlotte Olympia collects the returned purchased products, the following terms shall apply. Our customer care team will contact you to arrange collection and schedule the collection time with you. You must strictly observe the collection time agreed. Collection will be from the same address the ordered products were delivered to, but, at our sole discretion, you may nominate another reasonable collection address (e.g. a work address). Except for the first successful collection attempt of an original product, which is offered free of charge, all costs for collection of any products you are returning, including original products supplied to you under your order and any exchange products you are returning under your order and any collection attempt fails (other than due to our fault), shall be at the customer's expense. The applicable collection charge will be the collection charge as stated by our elected courier company at the time you make your return request.
EUROPE AND THE REST OF THE WORLD: The returned purchased products will remain at your risk until they arrive at and are accepted by our warehouse (except for any loss or damage caused by our acts or omissions or those of our carrier). Different collection charges will apply for Europe and the Rest of the World addresses, as set out in our delivery and collection charges on our site.
This Section 17 sets out our policy in relation to cancellations using cancellation rights under the Consumer Contract (Information, Cancellation and Additional Chargers) Regulations 2013 ("CRs"). This is an alternative to cancellation under the Charlotte Olympia Standard R&E Policy under Section 16 above and shall only apply automatically to customers in the UK, Europe or where the order is being sent to a European address. The CR cancellation rights are not applicable to customers outside the UK, Europe or where an order is being sent to a non-European address or where goods have been "personalised" as referred to in the CRs (such being any goods including the ABC collection or any other product which the customer may be able to customise or personalise). Where the CRs are not applicable, the Charlotte Olympia Standard R&E Policy shall apply. If you are a customer in the UK, Europe or where a purchased order is being sent to a European address, we will assume you are cancelling under the CRs, however, if you request an RAC from us or through your account on our website we will assume you are cancelling your order under our Charlotte Olympia Standard R&E Policy. Once you have chosen to cancel under the CRs, the Charlotte Olympia Standard R&E Policy set out in Section 16 shall not apply.
The CRs are only available to you are resident in a country in UK and Europe or the products purchased are for delivery in Europe. To exercise your right, you must give us written notice of cancellation at any time after your order has been placed, within 14 working days from the day after the day on which you receive the products you ordered and return the cancelled order within 14 days of such cancellation notice. Notice should be provided in the form set out below and must be given in writing to Charlotte Olympia, Unit 1C & 1D, Phoenix Brewery, 13 Bramley Road, London W10 6SZ, United Kingdom or by email to email@example.com.

Signature of customer
You may use the above model cancellation form, but it is not obligatory. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.
You are obliged to take reasonable care of the products and keep them in your possession. All products must be returned in full complete with all packaging. All boxes, dust bags, heel tips, polaroids and all other things included with your purchase should be included with your return and are deemed part of the product.
For purchased orders cancelled under the CRs, you will be refunded the amount you paid, including delivery charges for the original order and refunds will be given as soon as possible upon receiving the cancelled goods and in any event within 14 days of our receiving your cancelled goods or (if earlier), 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the goods. Import taxes and costs paid by you may not be not covered by the above refund (unless you paid us for those import taxes and costs). You may however be able to recover import taxes and costs by contacting your local customs bureau directly. We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.
Where you are returning the purchased products, you must return the entire order to us at your cost, you are liable for return shipment costs and the products remain your full responsibility and at your risk until such products arrive at and are accepted by our warehouse. You will need to return the products to us by secure means using our nominated courier to ensure that they reach us in good condition, at your own cost. We recommend that you insure the return shipment as you are under a duty to take reasonable care of the products and will be liable for damage to them until we receive and accept such products at our warehouse. In case of dispute, we also recommend you retain proof of sending. If you return the products at our expense, we may re-charge you such expense. Products should be returned to us promptly and within 14 days of giving us your notice of cancellation and returned to Three14 Limited c/o ALPI UK, Charlotte Olympia Ecommerce Returns, Alpi UK Ltd, Alpi House, Miles Gray Road, Basildon, SS14 3HJ, United Kingdom.
Where Charlotte Olympia collects the returned purchased products, the following terms shall apply. We may at any time arrange to have the products collected from you. You must also allow us to collect your unwanted products from you on written request from us. We may deduct from any refund any costs of returning the products to us we are entitled to charge above, including where you return the products at our expense or we collect the products at your request.
If you cancel your order, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except, to the extent relevant, for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of delivery offered by us). We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
If you receive faulty purchased products, you have the right to ask for a repair, exchange, reduction in the price or a full or partial refund, in accordance with the UK's Sale of Goods Act 1979. Please email email@example.com with images of any of your purchases, which you consider have been delivered faulty.
Products are "faulty" if they do not conform to the implied terms under the United Kingdom Sale of Goods Act 1979, which require that our products sold must correspond to their description and be of satisfactory quality.
Special points to note: If your purchased products become faulty within 6 months of your receiving them, then the law will treat them as having been faulty when you received them. Items that are damaged as a result of normal wear and tear are not considered to be faulty. If you ask for a refund, we may be entitled to reduce any refund to take account of any use you have had of the products since they were delivered to you. If you would like to exchange a faulty product instead of obtaining a refund, we can only replace it for the same product in the same size as those purchased and any exchange is subject to availability. If you ask for a repair, we will do so only where possible and not disproportionate.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has reportedly strongly rebuked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a telephone call between the two leaders, claiming that Netanyahu "hasn't made a single step to advance peace," echoing a larger European sentiment that Israel is stalling or impeding progress.

The Guardian:
The German chancellor, Angela Merkel, has sternly rebuked the Israeli prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, in an unusually fractious telephone call, according to media reports.
Netanyahu had done nothing to advance the peace process, Merkel said in a conversation this week, reported in the Israeli daily Haaretz.
The Israeli prime minister telephoned Merkel on Monday to say he was disappointed that Germany had voted for a UN security council resolution condemning settlements that was vetoed by the US.

We welcome our robot overlords. That's what we'll be saying if the advances in artificial intelligence that Telltale core engineer Bruce Wilcox and others like him keep up like they have been. Bruce, winner of last year's Loebner Prize for Artificial Intelligence with his chatbot Suzette, is back at it as he's just won this year's contest with his newest smartbot, Rosette!
Wondering what the Loebner Prize for Artificial Intelligence is? Well (and if you're reading this out loud you'll want to take a deep breath), it's an annual contest where four judges deem which of the competing chatbots is the most "human-like", with the determination being made by a judge posing questions simultaneously via computer entry to both an actual human and the chatbot (the Turing test). If the judge is unable to discern whether they're talking to the chatbot or a human, or is actually fooled, the chatbot passes the Turing test. The chatbot that convinces the most judges is declared the winner. You can learn more about the Loebner Prize on the official home page.
While Bruce's chatbot projects are truly a passion for him, the technology behind the bots goes hand in hand with the types of research and development we do here at Telltale. In fact, the technology you see in Rosette is a glimpse at something you may see in one of our future games, and you can talk to Rosette now! Just follow the link below and start chatting with her now! What types of games do you think this technology would be perfect for?
Want to learn more about Bruce? He recently did a write-up about himself right here on the Telltale Games blog. Read it here!

French Featured on hiVelocity.com
The French Oil Mill Machinery Company was featured in the March 10, 2011, edition of hiVelocity: French Rides New Markets as Industry Leader
Alfred W. French founded The French Oil Mill Machinery Company in 1900 to serve the linseed oil industry. The company's location in Piqua made sense: West central Ohio was a leading flax seed growing region, from which linseed oil is made. And those who processed the oil needed presses from which to extract the commodity.
While linseed oil is rarely found anymore, French is still going strong, thanks to innovative technologies that have branched out over the years to serve industries as diverse as the rubber and aerospace sectors.
Today, French makes screw presses to extract vegetable oil from seeds and nuts, screw presses for synthetic rubber and to separate solids and liquids, and screw presses and fiber presses for removing liquid from wood pulp fiber. The company also manufactures hydraulic presses for molding parts for a number of industries, including the medical and aerospace industries.
Tayte French Lutz, the company's marketing coordinator and a fourth-generation French, says the company is still growing, despite an off year in 2008. French hired 25 people last year, bringing employment in Piqua to 63.
"2008 was tough," she says, "but 2010 was an amazing year. 2011 is already looking to be an incredible year. Our sales for this year forecasted to be about 50 percent more than last year."
A more robust domestic business is also in the forecast.
"In 2010 about 70 percent of our business was exports and 30 percent domestic. For 2011 it's going to be about 50/50."
French has customers in more than 80 countries, and equipment on every continent but Antarctica. The company recently announced it would begin manufacturing operations in China to serve the oil seed and polymer industries there.
While the company tends to fly under most people's radar, French Lutz notes that some of our most common items may have been made with the help of a French machine.
"If you eat a potato chip, it's possible that the oil could have been pressed on a French press. If you're out playing golf, the inside of the golf ball could have been pressed on a French hydraulic press. There's just things in our everyday lives that our equipment could have touched."

Be sure to take them back if you don't adjust to them. I'm pretty sure progressive lenses come with a 30-day return policy because not everyone is able to adjust to them. I think it is something like 1 out of 5 people do not adapt well to them.Originally Posted by QuiltingKrazy
I did not have a problem adjusting to progressives and have worn them for years, but have been really dissatisfied with reading. Think I may still get them, but with the reading portion changed to computer distance (18-24") and just take them off for reading at close distance.
In your case, though, I don't see the need for progressives. I would trade them in for reading glasses. I think you will be happier. The area in progressives that is provided for reading text is too small, in my opinion.

The Matchup
Last time
You know what happened.
This time
Laser Show: David Ortiz
Don't Fall Behind: All 3 starters
There was once a time where Orioles pitching was a non-factor, but they are not messin' around in 2012. Chen and Hammel are had an outstanding April and Hunter has done far more than any Sox starter. These guys are going to be tough and they will definitely have the upper hand in this series.
How we see it goin' down
It has been a very long time since I said this, I don't think the Red Sox have a good chance against the Orioles. I had a tough time typing that. This is not the Orioles team we are used to seeing and I know it is very early in the season, but they are a different team. Maybe it's the magic of Dan Duquette, or maybe it is a hoax. What ever it may be, they are playing good baseball right now and the odds are in their favor for a weekend sweep. It kills me to predict that, but the Sox are not showing us anything that should make me think otherwise.

Rising coffee prices could affect your wallet
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - You may get more than just a caffeine jolt from your favorite cup of coffee -- it could also shock your wallet.
Severe drought in Brazil, the world's third largest coffee producer, is causing prices to skyrocket. However, there is some good news. Kangaroo Coffee, a java shop in Colorado Springs, is hopeful customers won't see an increase in the price of coffee right away. The store's owner said they continually monitor the market, and lock in a price for coffee beans buying months in advance.
"The (the company's roaster) can buy it at the best possible pricing we can get and set that up for the long term, six months to a year. Then we don't have to worry about what the pricing does so it just saves us the hassle of having to deal with any of that," said DJ Lyon, Kangaroo Coffee's Owner.
So just how much have coffee prices risen? Experts say costs have nearly doubled since late last year.

Operation: make organic beer
Former SEALs launch first-of-its-kind SD brewery
Ian Anderson 5 p.m., May 22
For the past month or so we've had an adult pair of great horned owls hanging around in our palm trees, usually right at dusk.
On May 6, at around 1 p.m., and while it was raining, we heard the crows going crazy outside the house. It turned out that it was a baby owl in our neighbors' tree and the crows were harassing it. The little guy was pretty wet and ticked off. He made several lunges at the crows if they got too close. I'm sure he would have torn them to shreds.
We scared away the crows and continued to check on him. All dried out and not looking as ticked off at 6:45 p.m. Had to chase a cat away...could have been for the cat's own good. He may be a little guy, but look at those claws! Hopefully he will get home safely and tell his "Mom & Dad" what those mean ol' crows did to him and they'll hunt the crows down and teach them a thing or two!
He did move up to higher branches at around 8:00 p.m. and this morning, Tuesday, May 7, he was no longer in the tree. Our neighbor, whose tree the owl was in, said she heard "who-who" last night, so perhaps he was calling out to his "Mom and Dad" to come find him.
