Hello! (I'm kinda new here so excuse me if I can't work this thing..) So right now I am in 3rd year doing Spanish. (First of all, I know I have to do it for junior cert and I shouldnt be worrying about that rn, but I still want to know this) I don't enjoy spanish at all and would much prefer doing french for my leaving cert. The question is, can I change to french in 5th year? If theres any conditions too please let me know (Like having to do it in transition year etc) Thank you!!
I don't think its really a done thing to be honest. In our school you don't have to take a language to leaving cert though unless you want to do science or engineering after school and theres no chance of you changing your mind you should do one. It would be really difficult to change language because you have to start over from scratch in fifth year. So in short I definitely wouldnt advise it. And I also would definitely not advocate leaving a language out for leaving cert because I didn't think I'd need one but I've changed my mind and now I do
In my school, you have to keep your foreign language all the way to LC, but I haven't heard of anyone switching after the JC. Theoretically, if your school allows you to, you could, but it would be very difficult. Going from JC German (my experience, I assume it's the same for other languages) to LC German is a massive leap, let alone going from zero to LC German in two or three years. If you really like French and you know a bit already/would put in extra work for it, like listening to French music, watching some TV in French, etc on a regular basis then I would say it could be doable, but if you're only doing it for school and if you don't have much of a personal interest in it I would advise you to either stick with Spanish or just drop the foreign language altogether if you don't need it. Doing a language at LC is already quite difficult since you can't just learn it off, so if you didn't have that foundation from JC I don't think your teachers would recommend you taking up French.
Why don't you like Spanish? Do you think you could grow to like it?
Technically you don't have to do a foreign language for the Leaving Cert, but some schools (including mine) don't let you drop yours. If you're prepared to work really hard on your French...it's possible, but not easy. Since you're saying you have no Spanish as it is, it doesn't seem like you have much to lose. You probably know more Spanish than you think though. You should ask your teachers if you have to continue with a foreign language after the JC in your school, and if you could switch to French after the exams.
Also, you should check if the courses you want require a foreign language. I doubt midwifery courses do though.

Canada regulator urges approval of oil-export pipeline
By Scott Haggett and Julie Gordon
CALGARY/VANCOUVER (Reuters) - Canadian regulators urged the government to approve the country's first overseas oil-export project on Thursday, concluding that Enbridge Inc's C$7.9 billion (US$7.4 billion) Northern Gateway pipeline plan posed little risk to the environment if the company complied with some 200 conditions.
Two years after a panel of environmental and energy regulators began hearings into the project, it sided against the line's many opponents and recommended the completion of a project that would allow Canada to expand sales of crude extracted from its oil sands to Asia.
Starting near Edmonton, Alberta, Northern Gateway would run 1,177 km (730 miles) - mostly through the pristine wilderness of northern British Columbia - to Kitimat, a deepwater port on the Pacific Coast.
"Based on a scientific and precautionary approach to this complex review, the panel found that the project, if built and operated in compliance with the conditions set out in its report, would be in the public interest," it said in a statement.
Environmental activists, the government of British Columbia and aboriginal communities along the line's proposed route have opposed the project and may launch court challenges.
Indeed, the positive recommendation came as no surprise to Chief Martin Louie of the Nadleh Whut'en First Nation, a member of the Yinka Dene Alliance, who said that he is prepared to go to court to stop the project from going ahead.
"There's no way this project is going to go ahead. I don't care who says yes or no," he said. "This is our country. We never lost it any war and we haven't given it up to anybody."
Canada's Conservative cabinet, which has strongly supported the expansion of the country's pipeline network, now has 180 days to act on the panel's recommendation. If the government agrees with it, Northern Gateway would give Canada the means to ship large quantities of oil extracted from Alberta's tar sands beyond the United States for the first time.

Education Commissioner Opts for Private Meetings After Heckling
New York State Education Commissioner John King visited a Long Island elementary school on Wednesday where he met privately with educators to talk about the state's new, more rigorous Common Core learning standards. The meeting came days after King canceled several public hearings on the new standards because of a raucous PTA meeting in Poughkeepsie.
As he left the school in Shirley, Long Island, King said he understood parents are frustrated. But he said he would not participate in any meetings with disruptions, like the Poughkeepsie hearing where parents shouted at him.
The state PTA president Lana Ajemian posted a letter on Monday saying she was seeking an alternative way for parents to discuss their concerns about Common Core standards.
King compared the anxiety he was hearing in New York to a similar backlash in Massachusetts.
"People said the standards were too high, that the tests were too hard," he said. "And what you saw was Massachusetts remained resolute. Today Massachusetts is the highest performing state; they are a state that is competitive."
Only 31 percent of students in New York passed their third through eighth grade math and reading tests this year after the exams were changed to match the new Common Core standards. Many, including the state's largest teachers union, are calling for a three-year moratorium on using standardized tests in any major decisions while educators get up to speed on the new standards and the curricula that accompanies them.
Officials invited to the Long Island meeting said King listened patiently to the concerns of teachers, administrators and school board members. They said he did not try to persuade his detractors, and that the meeting was calm.
At another private meeting, at a school in Troy on Tuesday, King said the calls for a moratorium were a "distraction."
Education professor and activist Diane Ravitch encouraged parents to write to members of New York Board of Regents, the body that approves state policy and appoints the commissioner, to express displeasure with King's decision to cancel the Town Hall-style parent meetings.

Shonin wrote:I agree with Retro. The Buddha taught primarily in terms of what can be experienced not in terms of abstract ontological speculation.
Does one spontaneously arise in Heaven or Hell?
But there's no need to imagine these things as discreetly separate dimensions of existence. If a particular birth is characterized by very unpleasant circumstances, why not call it a birth into a "hell realm"?
A realm as some kind of objectified geo-spatial "place" is meaningless, and potentially harmful, because it offsets the wisdom that "Mind precedes all dhammas. Mind is their chief; they are all mind-wrought." (Dhp 1-2).
Verse 1: All mental phenomena have mind as their forerunner; they have mind as their chief; they are mind-made. If one speaks or acts with an evil mind, 'dukkha' 3 follows him just as the wheel follows the hoofprint of the ox that draws the cart.
1. manopubbangama dhamma: All mental phenomena have Mind as their forerunner in the sense that Mind is the most dominant, and it is the cause of the other three mental phenomena, namely, Feeling (vedana), Perception (sanna) and Mental Formations or Mental Concomitants (sankhara). These three have Mind or Consciousness (vinnana) as their forerunner, because although they arise simultaneously with Mind they cannot arise if Mind does not arise. (The Commentary)
2. manasa ce padutthena (Verse 1) and manasi ce pasannena (Verse 2): Manasa here means intention or volition (cetana); volition leads one to the performance of volitional actions, both good and evil. This volition and the resultant actions constitute kamma; and kamma always follows one to produce results. Cakkhupala's blindness (Verse 1) was the consequence of his having acted with an evil intention in a previous existence and Matthakundali's happy existence in Tavatimsa celestial world (Verse 2) was the result of his mental devotion (manopasada) to the Buddha.
Because this is not real hell and we can find suttas where it is said that tortures in human world is nothing if compared with hell suffering. I'm 100% sure that heavens and hells exist as a separate worlds and many suttas confirm this.
Zom wrote:'In the same manner bhikkhus, the unpleasantess and displeasure experienced on account of giving six thousand whips three times a day cannot be reckoned as a comparison, not even as a quarter, nor even as a sign for the unpleasantness and displeasure experienced in hell.

When we moved to Bali a couple of years ago, we had a lot of cultural adjustments to make. However, no one prepared us for the biggest culture shock of all: All restrooms are not created equal. Outside of tourist areas, Indonesian bathrooms lack a couple of major items, namely: shower stalls and toilets. Of the two, the more interesting one is the Asian toilet.
Lessons on how to use an Asian toilet
Few things in life are as disconcerting as walking into a bathroom with an urgent need to pee and finding no toilet there. Especially when instead, there's a raised platform with a porcelain hole in the middle. Sometimes it's concrete, sometimes it's tiled, and sometimes there are even places marked out for the feet. But Japanese toilet, Asian toilet, squatty potty, no matter what you call it, it's not a porcelain throne.
If you're easily offended, this post may not be for you. It needed to be written, though, because your Mama's not going to tell you what you need to know. And if you plan to visit the Middle East, Africa or Asia, it's best to be prepared. So here's how to "go" in other countries:
Prepare to squat
Priority: Figure out how to keep your clothes from coming in contact with the wet floor. (Eeeeew … what made it wet?) You can either (1) strip off everything from waist down or (2) drop it all to knee-level. Personally, I prefer the second option; I just fold up my cuffs and use my knees to hold everything up.
Whatever you do, pay attention to your pockets or you might end up with a wet, dirty wallet.
Balance and lower
You won't want to sit down on that cold, wet, porcelain thing to relieve yourself so you'll need to either hover or squat over the hole.
Even if Mama told you it's more sanitary I recommend NOT hovering. There's a reason someone penned the lines "If you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be neat and wipe the seat." Do you really want to sprinkle all over your shoes and clothes?
Asians squat.I seriously cannot understand how they can sit there for hours. Maybe they are used to squatting every day thanks to using the Asian squat toilet.
If you're not used to squatting here are a few tips:
- Stand on the porcelain; the spots reserved for your feet will keep them far enough apart.
- Lean forward slightly as you squat, keeping your center of gravity firmly over the balls of your feet.
- Rest your hands or forearms on your knees all the way along to help keep your balance and your backside dry.
Empty out
I'm sure you know what I mean.
Clean up
To clean up you'll need to use water, which you'll find as either a bucket or a spray hose. The hose is far easier. (Think Asian bidet.)
- When using a bucket, dump the water onto your back side and splash upwards with the other hand.
- When using a spray hose, grab the hose with your right hand and turn on the faucet to a low flow. Spray closely and gently to avoid baptizing yourself, the floor and the nearby walls.
- Use your left hand to direct the water and help clean the area, and reach backwards from the front to do it. It is the only way you will keep your balance.
- Squeegee off any excess water with your left hand.
- Refill the bucket from the nearby tap as a courtesy to the next person.
- If you see toilet paper or paper towels nearby, use it to dry your hands before leaving, and throw it in the trash. Don't try to flush it, as many systems can't handle it.
If you can't imagine going without drying yourself off, you might want to carry some toilet paper and/or wet wipes with you. They actually sell purse-sized wipes for that purpose.
Stand up
- To avoid walking out with a wet seat or feet, keep a good hold on the hem of your clothes, and pull everything on in one smooth motion as you start to stand up.
- Remember to fold your cuffs back down before you leave.
Squat toilets are so commonly used in the east that many Asians need to be shown how to flush a Western toilet.
Turn about is fair play. Here's how to flush a squat toilet:
- Fill a bucket with water and dump it into the basin. Repeat until everything has gone down the hole, trying not to get it on the surrounding floor.
- Then refill the bucket as a courtesy to the next customer and go wash your hands.
Other good things to remember
Toilet paper? You'll usually find a roll of it on the dining room table. They use it instead of paper napkins.
Did you notice that all cleaning is to be done with the left hand? This is culturally important because in many parts of the world, people reserve the left hand for bodily hygiene and consider using it for any other purpose to be unsanitary.
In fairness, many Asians have no clue how to use a Western toilet either. It must be pretty widespread, as I've heard complaints about footprints on toilet seats. I also found this sign in a toilet stall at the Bali airport:
Have you ever used a squat toilet? Any tips or comments?

Is There Discrimination in Mortgage Pricing? The Case of Overages
Harold A. Black, Thomas P. Boehm, and Ramon P. DeGennaro
Working Paper 2001-4a
November 2001
Download the full text of this paper in PDF format - (167 KB)
We conduct an empirical investigation to explain observed differentials in mortgage overage pricing. Our analysis makes several contributions. First, we study an area of mortgage pricing that is little understood by consumers and has received little scrutiny in the literature. Second, we consider the impact of the market power of individual loan officers on overages paid by borrowers, particularly minorities. Third, we include a number of borrower and lender characteristics not available in previous analysis.
Importantly, we introduce a new direct measure of the market power of individual loan officers. We also incorporate the interactive effects of loan officer market power and the race of the borrower in determining the rate of the mortgage loan. Through the use of these new variables and employing proprietary data from different branches of a nationwide mortgage lending institution, we conclude that the market power of the lender and the bargaining or negotiating ability of the borrower are important determinants of overages. We find that overages paid by minorities who purchase homes are larger than those paid by whites. Our evidence suggests that this is due to differences in the pools of borrowers rather than to racial discrimination. Indeed, tests show that the pool of refinancings is more homogeneous across races than the pool for purchases, and we find no differences by race for refinancings. We conclude that a more effective way to eliminate racial differences in overages is to pursue policies designed to increase the ability of minorities to bargain more effectively rather than to enact additional antidiscrimination laws.

text: BURBANK, Calif., Oct. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Walt Disney Animation Studios' "Frozen" hits a high note this week with details of its dynamic soundtrack featuring eight original songs from Kristen Anderson-Lopez ("In Transit," "Winnie the Pooh") and Tony® Award-winning songwriter Robert Lopez ("Avenue Q," "The Book of Mormon"), plus a phenomenal score by the composer of last year's Oscar®-winning short "Paperman," Christophe Beck. The original motion picture soundtrack, which features the end-credit recording of "Let It Go" by Demi Lovato, is available for sale on Nov. 25, 2013. Directed by Chris Buck ("Tarzan," "Surf's Up") and Jennifer Lee (screenwriter, "Wreck-It Ralph"), who also wrote the screenplay, and produced by Peter Del Vecho ("Winnie the Pooh," "The Princess and the Frog") "Frozen" hits theaters in 3D on Nov. 27, 2013. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131022/LA01582) According to Del Vecho, the original music adds to both the emotional story and the humor within this high-action comedy adventure. "Jennifer, Chris and the team have created a film with an engaging setting full of compelling characters," he said. "The music elevates and propels this storytelling. The songwriters Kristen and Bobby participated in the creation of the story. We met with them for two hours each day via video conference while we were building our plot—not necessarily about the songs, but about the characters: who they are, how they think, what they want. Each song enhances and expands the story in a way that fully engages the audience in this world." The Book of LopezAnderson-Lopez and Lopez contributed eight original songs to the film—each with the responsibility to propel the story in a specific way. The defining moment for the film's music, said Lopez, was a song written early in the process called "Let It Go." "That was our lynchpin," he said. "We wanted to write the biggest, beltiest diva number we could channel because we knew we had Idina Menzel—who just knocks it out of the park—and we knew her character Elsa was experiencing something epic in her life." The song resonated with filmmakers—so well, in fact, that it made them rethink scenes leading up to the moment. "'Let It Go' was the first song that we all knew belonged in the film because it helped shape Elsa's character," said Lee. "It delivers such a poignant and powerful message about how she's feeling that we needed to back up and earn that song—to show how she finds herself in that place at that time."

The pool was very nice, large. Pool opened at 10am, which is a time crunch for the 11am check-out. The breakfast buffet lacked protein, except for eggs.
Great facility , nice rooms I didnt have enough time to enjoy the lounge , lol
The bed was comfortable The bathroom had mold in the shower surround was coming off the walls. The entryways had burned two and we're covered in cobwebs and it's just a little dated.
Staff was responsive to needs. Room was freezing, then staff adjusted temperature and then it was sweltering. Horrible night's sleep for my husband.
Dirty bathtub and toilet. Long dark hair in tub. Called housekeeping and was taken care of.
Place was clean. Didn't really have time to make use of amenities. But the dining area for breakfast was nice. I didn't get the impression that I was eating in a school cafeteria. I don't like bathrooms where there is no control over the ventilation and it is on a central system. Stays damp too long after a shower. I wouldn't weigh significantly in my decision where to stay though.
We had a 2bed mini suite. The 'living room' part had a fold-out couch, coffee table, other chair & faced the kitchen/office space. It was fantastic. The 'bedroom' portion was a bit tight on space, but really who cared because the living room was grand. As for the beds-- we all wish we'd looked at the brand to replace our own mattresses. No backaches for anyone. The breakfast was awesome, too (hard boiled or scrambled eggs, sausage gravy/biscuits along with all the normal breads) in a nice area. I highly recommend.
Great, clean, brand-new, comfy beds, fun pool, great breakfast. No.

It was very nice, more than we expected no
I was traveling with two little boys by myself. The staff at this hotel were all wonderful, hepful and friendly. Our room was beautiful, clean and comfortable. The breakfast was a great variety as we stayed there 4 days so we had lots of choices of what to eat.
I asked for the one in Moses Lake and I was booked into an Amerisuites in Pasco/WA. Being from Canada I trusted the agent that Pasco was close to Moses Lake. Turns out they are totally different locations, when I went to change the reservation it was changed but I was also charged full price for the 1st one because they have a no cancellation policy. This is a shady way to do business and we will NEVER book with Amerisuites again for anything because of this experience. '
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
absolutamente great... everything is ok
We stayed in a business suite, and it was huge. The sleeping and 'living' spaces felt like they were really separate, and not just loosely defined like in some hotel rooms I have seen. We stayed in a per friendly room, (we had a dog with us) and I feel like there were an awful lot of poorly cleaned stains on the carpet and furniture.
The staff was excellent. We had Victoira At the front desk and she was welcoming and made sure we were as comfortable as possible! Checked in with us every time we went past the lobby and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. My little ones loved her. The breakfast was good, and there was a pool which made it perfect for traveling with young kiddos. No tub in the bathroom and a few little amenities were limited-/(no conditioner for showering) it was very basic.
They allow dogs Window is broke when you go to check in, get to the room non smoking far from that, I had to go buy frebeze to be able to stay, everything was dirty, curtains don't close all the way luckily me there was a bobby pin to help, toilet doesn't flush so until I took off the back, and it hasn't stopped, I had to go get a key made 3 times and they didn't even question me or ask for ID.... Scary.... Beer boxes and pizza boxes outside all on the decks...... Just awful I will never stay here again
It was not clean
Someone from the staff used an extra key to come into our room after midnight while we were sleeping. No apology or anything the next morning. Very creepy place. The room was clean and confidant l comfortable but I will never stay there again. I recommend anyone with a family to find another place to stay

I just fired my new defender yesterday and have a question.
Is there a way to adjust the direction spent casings are ejected?
On more than one occasion, both myself and my friend were hit in the head/face with ejected brass.
I really couldn't determine why some were ejected over our heads, some went to the right and some were at us.
Any help is appreciated.

Well, not really. But Mr Carter's only gone and got himself on the board of directors for the Brooklyn Barclays Arena…
Jay has already designed a logo and jerseys for the soon-to-be relaunched Brooklyn Nets baseball team. And now he's been selected to become one of the team's stadium directors too.
Although exact details of Jigga's responsibilities have not been revealed, it is apparent that he will sit on the director's board, and oversee decisions about the stadium's maintenance.
The news was revealed when Forest City Ratner Cos., the company in charge of the stadium's development, filed for an alcohol license and named Shawn Carter (known in Hip-Hopperly circles as Jay-Z) as one of the arena's directors.

The Wave......
So i have noticed this a few times before when i would drive around. How many people do the Honor Wave or what ever you call it, when another WRX/STI drives by you. I have gotten it once from a 2013 STI but i have then done it to a few other WRX's and then just stared at me. I just want to know is it just not me or do others get people that dont wave back(if so then they should not be driving such a great car lol.)I know Bikers and Vett Owners do the same thing.

In my area 99% wave back. We have another thread on this somewhere.
Since I've picked mine up, I've had even non Subaru owners wave or give the :thumbup:

Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:07am
VESTAL, N.Y. — Second-year head men's lacrosse coach Scott Nelson recently announced his squad's upcoming 2013 schedule this week. With a total of 13 fixtures, including seven home games at the Bearcats Sports Complex, Binghamton will have eight non-conference and five America East games for 2013.
"We put together a schedule full of quality opponents and really feel both confident and excited about the spring," Nelson said. "Our goal has always been to test ourselves early and often, and make sure we are playing our best lacrosse come conference play."
The spring slate begins on the road for the Bearcats as they head to Loudonville, NY on Feb. 23 to square off with Siena, who finished runner-up in the MAAC a year ago. Last season, Binghamton ousted the Saints 9-7 at home on the strength of five goals from current junior attackman Mike Antinozzi. This year's meeting marks the fourth straight season they have gone toe-to-toe and the seventh time overall (series tied at three wins apiece).
Three days later, they find themselves on the road once again as they travel to nearby Ithaca to take on national powerhouse Cornell at Schoellkopf Field. Cornell returns eight starters from a team who was nationally ranked for a majority of 2012, and regains the services of 2011 Attacker of the Year Rob Pannell, who was forced to redshirt last season after an injury in his second game.
On March 2, BU hosts its first game of the season against Hobart. The Statesmen handed the Bearcats a 15-10 loss in 2012 and return three of their top-5 point scorers from a year ago. Binghamton is 6-5 all-time in home openers, including a 10-8 win last season over Lafayette.
After their quick stint at the Bearcats Sports Complex, BU throws on their visiting jerseys to play tough opponents in Delaware and Colgate on March 9th and 12th respectively. The Blue Hens played a challenging schedule in 2012, facing six nationally-ranked opponents (2-4). Colgate comes off the best finish in school history, going 14-4, eventually falling to Duke in the NCAA quarterfinals. The Raiders feature the 2012 Tewaaraton award winner Peter Baum. Baum scored a school-record 97 points last season.
With four of their first five games on the road, Binghamton finally settles at home for a four-game stretch beginning with Manhattan on the 16th of March. The Jaspers narrowly defeated BU 11-10 in the first ever meeting a season ago. Shortly thereafter, Penn State comes to Vestal on March 19 for a 4 pm start. This marks the first ever meeting between the two programs. The Nittany Lions finished 2012 at 9-6, losing in the CAA semifinals to Drexel. The final two non-conference games of the season pits the Bearcats up against Quinnipiac (March 23) and Canisius (April 15). Binghamton went 1-1 combined against the two teams, highlighted by their 11-7 win over the Golden Griffs, who later advanced to play in the NCAA tournament.
To begin the America East conference schedule, Binghamton hosts Albany on March 30 at 3 pm. The Great Danes have enjoyed recent success against BU, winning four of the last five meetings. Albany finished 3-2 in the America East a year ago, falling to Stony Brook in the conference championship. Speaking of Stony Brook, the Bearcats will get a crack at the defending conference champs the following weekend at LaValle Stadium. The Seawolves have advanced to the NCAA tournament two of the last three years and are led by sophomore Mike Rooney, reigning America East Rookie of the Year.
On the 13th of April, Hartford comes to town having finished fourth in the America East in 2012. The Hawks return four second team all-conference players and a pair of All-Rookie selections this spring. Despite losing 11-7 in 2012, Binghamton has historically had a good track record versus Hartford, going 8-3 overall. The following weekend, BU plays host to Vermont for a noon start on senior day. Vermont missed the AE postseason, but upended the Bearcats 11-5 a season ago.
For the second straight year, UMBC is Binghamton's final regular season game of the year, this time with the Retrievers as the home squad. BU closed out the 2012 season with an impressive 15-8 victory over UMBC in which three Bearcats recorded a hat trick.
The America East conference tournament will be held at a host site for the first time in conference history. Stony Brook's Lavalle Stadium, which seats 8,200 people, will carry the honor of playing host. The tournament begins on May 1 with both semifinal games and concludes three days later with the finals.

I have been getting Botox at Dr. L's office for 4 years. I drive from Chapel Hill and it is worth the trip. The price I am payig now is far less than I paid before. i thiknk they are using less Botox to get the same result. I have been consistently happy since I started going there 4 years ago. I will probably never start. My advice is too look for an office that uses a lot of Botox. They will probably know what they're doing. I can't imagine my life without Botox!

According to the conditions approved by the German
Bundeskartellamt -
Recommendations of the Bundesverband Deutscher Briefmarkenversteigerer e.V., Wiesbaden
The auction is effected voluntarily and carried out in the name of the auctioneer and on the account of third-parties.
The auctioneer reserves the right to combine or separate lots listed in the catalogue, to change the order of the lot numbers or to withdraw any lot from the auction.
The lots to be sold at auction may be examined and checked before the auction. The descriptions in the catalogue are made to the best of the auctioneer's knowledge and belief, are, however, not guaranteed. The auctioneer is not liable for any mistakes. He commits himself, however, to transmitting complains to the customer if such claims are filed within a period of 14 days after the auction. The auctioneer may extend this time limit under special circumstances. In the case of a justified claim, the auctioneer will refund the purchase price only and not further charges. Faults visible on images on the catalogue may not be subject to such claims.
The lot is knocked down when no higher bid follows after the last bid has been called three times. The auctioneer reserves the right to reject the bid or accept it with reservations. He may cancel the bid knocked down if the highest bidder does not want his bid to be valid, or if otherwise a dispute concerning the bid knocked down arrises.
The knocking down transfers the risk of possible losses, damages or mistakes to the purchaser. The items become the property of the purchaser after payment is complete.
The knocking down binds the bidder to take and pay for the lot(s). Should the purchaser desire forwarding of the lot(s) purchased in the auction, it will be effected at his expense and risk. The bidder is bound to his bid for the period of up to four weeks. If bidding is made by phone or writing, lots will be dispatched to the bidder at his cost and his risk, if not a different agreement is made.
The purchaser shall pay an additional 18 % commission over and above the sale price plus a 1,60 € surcharge per lot. 7 % value added tax will be charged at commission, lot fee and all other costs. Value added tax will not be charged if the lots where dispatched by us to a country outside the EC or if the purchaser is a dealer within the EC and the VAT-No. is given to us before the bidding.
Purchase price and commissions are payable at once by floor bidders. External bidders must pay the auction bill on receipt. The bidder for a third-party will be held liable as a primary obligor along with the third-party. The purchaser has the right to receive the lots just after payment is made.
Any amounts not received by the auctioneer within 15 days after the auction or receipt of the auction bill, will incur 1% interest for every new month. If the purchaser refuses to pay the lot(s) or if any payment is not settled within a fixed time period, the auctioneer may demand the non-performance.
The bidder agrees for lots with NS-Signs, not to use them in any way for propagandistic purposes ($ 86 StGB).
These conditions are valid for the sale after the auction. The §312d BGB will not be used.
Bonn will be named as the court of jurisdiction. The contract of auction is subject to German law only.
In the case that any of the above stipulations become void in part or in whole, all other stipulations remain valid.

Sept 5 (Reuters) - Some U.S. stocks on the move on Thursday:
Stocks opened little changed on Thursday as investors were reluctant to make big bets following a strong start to the month and ahead of data that could alter expectations for changes to monetary policy.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 4.86 points or 0.03 percent, to 14,935.73, the S&P 500 gained 1.7 points or 0.1 percent, to 1,654.78 and the Nasdaq Composite added 4.136 points or 0.11 percent, to 3,653.178.

Indian bank stocks surged on Thursday after the new Reserve Bank of India chief unveiled measures to support the ailing currency, providing a shot of confidence for investors unnerved by the country's worst economic crisis in two decades. ICICI bank was one of the most heavily traded stock on the New York Stock Exchange. Continued...

Do you "undo" a lot in MS PowerPoint?
Ever run out of undo steps and wish for more?
If your response was yes, here's what you need to know about PowerPoint to get a few (or a lot) more undo steps added to your list.
Older versions of PowerPoint:
To change the undo number, you first need to go to the Tools menu, Options choice, Edit tab.
On the Edit tab, you must locate the Undo section. It's here that you can adjust the "Maximum number of undos:" field to any value from three to 150.
Once you've made your changes, click OK.
PowerPoint 2007:
Use the Office Button, PowerPoint Options button to get to PowerPoint 2007's Options dialog box.
We need the Advanced category of options, Editing section.
Set a value between 3 and 150 in the "Maximum number of undos:" field.
Click OK.
That's it. You now have the power to undo more steps than you can probably even remember!
And… as a special bonus you can use this technique in other MS Office programs to increase the number of available undos… one trick, many places of application.

Belfort KOs Franklin at UFC 103
Results by Anthony Springer Jr.
Vitor Belfort capped off a highly anticipated return to the Octagon, knocking out former UFC middleweight champion Rich Franklin with strikes at 3:02 in the first round. After a slow start, Belfort found his range, dropping Franklin with his trademark left hand, which immediately buckled Franklin. Without a second thought, Belfort pounced, putting Franklin out with a series of unanswered shots to the head.
Junior Dos Santos put on a textbook performance that was capped off with an anticlimactic victory over living legend Mirko Cro Cop. A Dos Santos punch appeared to blind the Croatian, who told the referee he was unable to see in the third and final round.
In what will be remembered as a firefight, Paul Daley overwhelmed Martin Kampmann, defeating the Danish fighter at 2:31 in the first with strikes.
It took Josh Koscheck just 1:25 to ruin Frank Trigg's UFC return, stopping the veteran with strikes in the first round.
In the opening bout on the main card, Tyson Griffin silenced his critics, besting former lightweight number one contender Hermes Franca by knockout at 3:26 of the second round.
Ultimate Fighter winner Efrain Escudero defeated Cole Miller with a string of big punches at 3:36 in the first round.
Tomasz Drwal used a rear naked choke to beat Drew McFedries in the second round.
A shoulder injury caused a premature end to the bout between Steve Lopez and Jim Miller. Lopez appeared to blow out his shoulder in the second frame, causing the referee to stop the bout.
UFC newcomer Nick Lentz topped Rafaello Oliveira with a hard fought unanimous decision.
Rick "The Horror" Story used an arm triangle from the guard position to choke out Brian Foster at 1:09 in the opening frame.
Ultimate Fighter alum Eliot "The Fire" Marshal needed a split decision to get past Jason Brilz.
In a highly anticipated undercard bout, Vladimir Matyushenko defeated Igor Pokrajac via unanimous decision. All three judges scored the bout 30-27.
Rafael dos Anjos punished Rob Emerson en route to a unanimous decision victory in the opening contest of the night.

Flames NewsFlames Home > Women's Basketball Home > News
Liberty Gets Back on Track with Win Over Coastal
On the heels of a two-game losing streak, Liberty got back on track Thursday evening, thanks to defense and rebounding. The Lady Flames enjoyed a +14 rebound margin and held visiting Coastal Carolina to a season-low scoring output in a workmanlike 64-46 victory at the Vines Center.
Liberty improves to 13-9 overall and 9-4 in the Big South with its 42nd straight head-to-head victory over the Chanticleers. The Lady Flames were led by Ashley Rininger (13 points, 10 rebounds), who tied Megan Frazee's program sophomore-class record from the 2006-07 campaign with her 13th double-double of the season.
Coastal Carolina shot just 34 percent (18-of-53) from the field and 20 percent (4-of-20) from behind the three-point line while falling to 11-12 on the season and 7-7 in conference play. The Chanticleers have lost seven of their last 10 contests after starting 4-0 in Big South action.
In contrast to its last two games, Liberty got off to a fast start on Thursday. Four early points by Emily Frazier helped the Lady Flames jump out to a 9-3 lead within the first 3:29 of play.
Coastal Carolina battled back and got to within 15-12 on two Megan Pittman free throws at the 9:52 mark.
Liberty then outscored the Chanticleers by a 14-4 count over the next 7:33, sparked by four Mickayla Sanders points. A Rininger free throw at 2:19 gave the Lady Flames their largest lead of the opening half, 29-16.
The Lady Flames took a 12-point cushion (31-19) into halftime after scoring more than half of their points (16) inside the paint during the first 20 minutes of play.
Liberty shot 41.9 percent (13-of-31) from the field in the opening half while limiting Coastal Carolina to 25.9 percent (7-of-27). The Chanticleers connected on just one of their 12 first-half three-point tries for 8.3 percent.
Paced by Rininger's nine boards, Liberty posted a 21-19 rebounding edge before the break.
Frazier led all players with eight points in the first half, with backcourt mate Sadalia Ellis dishing out six assists.
Pittman and Savanah Pippin tallied five points each for the Chanticleers prior to halftime.
Liberty scored the first seven points of the second half, pushing out to a 38-19 edge on Reagan Miller's three-pointer from the right wing with 18:00 remaining.
Shortly thereafter, Coastal Carolina fashioned a 9-2 run, trimming its deficit to 42-30 when Alexx Puckett canned a layup at the 13:49 mark.
But Adams halted the Chanticleers' momentum with an old-fashioned three-point play on Liberty's next trip to the offensive end. That kick-started another 7-0 surge by the Lady Flames, and Coastal Carolina got no closer than 13 points down the rest of the way as Liberty head coach Carey Green improved to 34-0 all-time against his alma mater.
Liberty made 52.4 percent (11-of-21) of its field goals after halftime, finishing the contest at 46.2 percent (24-of-52). The Lady Flames moved the ball well on the night, as evidenced by their 17 assists on 24 made baskets.
Liberty won the second-half rebounding battle by a 21-9 count, enabling the Lady Flames to outrebound their 20th consecutive opponent, 42-28.
The homestanding Lady Flames committed a season-low nine fouls, sending Coastal Carolina to the charity stripe just 10 times.
Thirteen Lady Flames saw action, including freshman Audrey Rettstatt, who grabbed two rebounds in her collegiate debut. That depth helped Liberty post a 17-13 advantage in bench points.
Liberty held its fourth opponent below the 50-point mark this season, all of which have been Big South foes playing at the Vines Center.
Adams (12 points, 7 rebounds, 3 blocked shots) and Frazier (10 points, 4 assists) joined Rininger in double digits for the victors. Ellis finished with a game-high seven assists, falling just one shy of her career high.
Angelica Henry scored 11 of her 13 points after halftime to pace Coastal Carolina, while Pittman chipped in 10 points off of the bench. Pippin collected a team-high eight rebounds in her first start of the season.
Liberty limited Chanticleer guard AJ Jordan to a season-low four points, a dozen below her season scoring average.
Liberty will remain at home on Saturday for a 2 p.m. contest against Charleston Southern (8-15, 4-10 Big South).

Dances Patrelle to Present ROMEO & JULIET, 9/11-14
Dances Patrelle presents Romeo & Juliet, a dazzling 25th Anniversary Performance from September 11-14, 2014 at The Kaye Playhouse at Hunter College, E. 68th Street between Park and Lexington Avenues, NYC. Performances: Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7pm and Sunday at 2pm. Tickets are $35-50 (student and senior discounts available) and will be available beginning August 1, 2014 at www.dancespatrelle.org by phone at 212-772-4448, or in person at The Kaye Playhouse Box Office.
In celebration of Shakespeare's 450th birthday,thisevening-length revival of Romeo & Juliet will feature Francis Patrelle's choreography, based on Shakespeare's Play and Prokofiev's Score. Jennifer Dunning stated in the 1993 New York Times in 1993, "Francis Patrelle gives the traditional tale ingenious twists...the stories behind the stories." Following dP's tradition of educating children and nurturing professionals in the art of ballet, this Romeo & Juliet casts aspiring ballet students alongside a diverse professional cast of the highest quality, including Matthew Dibble, Amy Brandt, Julie Voshell, John Mark Owen, and Grant Dettling. The roles of Romeo and Juliet will be played by Alexander Castillo and Chloé Sherman. Mr. Castillo and Ms. Sherman both performed for Francis Patrelle as students and now dance professionally on the West Coast.
Alexander Castillo was born in Bayside, New York. At the age of thirteen, he started his dance training at Ballet Academy East, under the direction of Darla Hoover. At this time Alexander was also seen in Francis Patrelle's Yorkville Nutcracker, first as a party child and mouse, and later in the Spanish Divertissement. Mr. Castillo then finished his training at the School of American Ballet under the direction of Peter Martins. Upon leaving the School of American Ballet, Alexander joined the Los Angeles Ballet where he is currently a Soloist. He has danced featured roles in Balanchine's "Concerto Barrocco," "La Valse," "Western Symphony," and "Serenade"; Ji?í Kylián's "Return to a Strange Land"; and Los Angeles Ballet's "The Nutcracker," and "Swan Lake." Mr. Castillo is thrilled to return to New York and perform with Dances Patrelle as a professional.

Berkley hat and glove drive kicks off for kids in need
By Joshua Gordon
Posted November 26, 2013
BERKLEY — Lee Hoffman, a podiatrist at NorthPointe Foot & Ankle in Berkley, said he and his fellow doctors are always looking for a way to get involved in their community, from working with the Rotary Club to the Berkley Chamber of Commerce.
But for Hoffman, one of the most important community collaborations is the annual hat and glove drive with the Berkley Senior Center.
For the fourth year, NorthPointe and the Berkley Senior Center will be hosting a clothing drive throughout Berkley where residents can donate new hats, gloves, scarves and socks, as well as the occasional homemade item. All items will be distributed throughout the community to children in need.
"The senior center came up with this idea a couple of years ago, and it was something that was really needed in the community, and it has been a real success," Hoffman said. "Believe it or not, the economy has made it tight for everybody, and you may not think about it, but there are plenty of needy people around here, and we try to do our share to help them."
Hoffman said that the hat and glove drive is special because it helps children.
Through his business's newsletter and word of mouth, Hoffman said the donation drive begins with their patients, who have been supportive of the cause.
"Doing something like this, it makes people who maybe are a little down and out — it lets them know people out there really care about them," he said. "We don't need the recognition from somebody, so it is sent to people anonymously, because it doesn't matter if we know who is getting the hats and gloves, but that it is getting to the right people.
"Who knows who is the next person to fall financially or because of a sickness? I've been here for 30 years, and Berkley has a strong community spirit and we help one another."
The donation drive began Nov. 25 and runs through Dec. 13. Community members can donate hats, gloves, scarves and socks at NorthPointe, 27901 Woodward Ave., or the Berkley Senior Center, 2400 Robina Ave., during regular business hours.
Sue Thornton, the senior coordinator with the senior center, said it was the center's Red Hats group that got the program started four years ago. While a lot of donations during the holidays help kids in need in impoverished countries, Thornton said this one is special because it helps local families.
"Everything we collect goes back to the Berkley School District, and whenever a staff (member) or a principal sees someone in need, they have access to this donation and can help out," she said. "I think sometimes (local) donations are overlooked, and some of these kids in the district don't have everything they need. It is great to give back to your own community, especially if there is a need."
Hoffman said he hopes a donation drive such as the hat and glove drive will evolve into other ways to help local families, such as a donation at the end of summer to help local students with school supplies before classes start.
Money is also an acceptable donation for the hat and glove drive, and will be used to purchase new hats, gloves, scarves or socks, Hoffman said.
Thornton said several of her members knit winter gear for the children. Not only does the drive help those families in need, she said, but it also helps bridge a gap between the seniors and the children.
"I think it is really cool that there is this intergenerational thing here with the seniors giving back to our youth," Thornton said. "Making a connection between the kids and the seniors is a good thing, and it shows respect with everyone involved. The seniors, I think, feel good about themselves that they can give a little when a lot of them are needy in their own way. It is something for them to do to contribute."
For more information on making a donation, call the Berkley Senior Center at (248) 658-3470 or NorthPointe Foot & Ankle at (248) 545-0100.

JWoww Talks Snooki & Pregnancy on "Good Afternoon America"
Crossing the Hudson over to New York City, Jenni "JWoww" Farley stopped by ABC studios today (July 30) for an appearance on "Good Afternoon America."
The "Jersey Shore" star wore a black top, a light blazer, matching heels, blue jeans and a gray handbag for the show.
Speaking with hosts Lara Spencer and Josh Eliot, the reality star lamented at Snooki's absence before talking about the excitement surrounding her pal's pregnancy. She explained, "Yea, we're just excited for little man to get here. I just wanna be an aunt."
When asked how the "Snooki & JWoww" show changed once her diminutive partner revealed she was pregnant, the 26-year-old said, "I had this vision of doing this big bucket list and traveling the country and then Nicole's like 'no no no no no, we need to talk.'" She continued, "I was a little concerned in the beginning, but then I was like wow, I wouldn't have it any other way."
We won't be seeing JWoww with her own baby bump for awhile though. "I wanna be selfish a little more, i wanna travel, i wanna do like a euro trip and backpack and go to all the countries out there and just have a blast before I settle down," she said.
Next the hosts set up GAA's 'Kiss, Marry, Ditch' game involving The Situation and Vinnie from the Jersey Shore and Jersey native Joe Peschi.
The Sitch' got the kiss ("Mike deserves a kiss because he needs a little love in his life. He's been doing really good and I'm proud of him."), Vinnie got marry ("I will marry for his mom and his mom's cooking."), and poor Joe got ditched ("I feel like I'm gonna get hurt over this.").
Watch Jenni's full interview's below!

This book examines the current political situation in Bahrain and in particular the process of reform that has taken place in recent years. It explores both the roles of the ruling elites as well as opposition actors and shows the major influence of identity politics in this important Gulf state.
Introduction Part 1: Context 1. The Locale 2. Years Preceding the Reforms Part 2: Reforms, Actors and Processes 3. Institutions and Laws 4. Actors and their Outlooks 5. Forms, Places, and Debates in Interaction Part 3: Conclusion
Contemporary events in the Islamic world dominate the headlines and emphasise the crises of the Middle East and North Africa, yet the Islamic World is far larger and more varied than we realise. Current affairs there too mask the underlying trends and values that have, over time, created a fascinating and complex world. This new series is intended to reveal that other Islamic reality by looking at its history and society over the ages, as well as at the contemporary scene. It will also reach far further afield, bringing in Central Asia and the Far East as part of a cultural space sharing common values and beliefs but manifesting a vast diversity of experience and social order.

I could write up a race report from my 10 mile race this past weekend or my half marathon race from last weekend, but I'm not going to. First of all, there isn't much to say about them that we all haven't read in a race report before. Second, to me I just wasn't racing exactly. Sure I was pushing myself, but I knew I wasn't going to PR. These were opportunities to check in and see where I really am at heading in to fall marathon season. I had a full spring of "slow" trail running and a ton of ultra racing. My mileage overall though is down and I'm trying really hard to add some speed work or fast runs in to my training to prepare for fall. My legs are in really great shape to go far, but not so much to go far AND fast. I have to re-train them to do that.
Until that happens, I have an approach to my races where I realistically look at where I am in my training and try to pick a goal pace that I can call a hard effort given where I am that particular day with my fitness level. I was a tad off on my half marathon though I ran "naked" after giving up my Garmin to my sister. 8:54 average pace on a humid, bug filled night with only my headlamp to shine the way on a super flat and boring paved bike path. I was shooting for 8:45s or faster, but truthfully, 8:54s felt hard. On to my 10 mile race this weekend where I was shooting for 8:40-8:45s on a fairly hilly course, especially the last 5 miles. This time armed with my Garmin and a bit less humidity with temps around 65 to start, 75 at the finish, I managed an 8:44 pace. Perfection! Had it not gotten so hot during those last miles right into the rising sun, I think I would've been able to hang on to get closer to 8:40s.
I'm learning to be happy with running the best I can given my current fitness. I've come to terms with the fact that I will not and honestly cannot PR every race. Instead of being disappointed and down on myself for that, I'm learning to set tough, but attainable goals. I'm sure I'll PR again, but in the meantime, I'm learning to accept where I'm at and work towards being a bit faster for my marathons this fall. I've got lots of work to do to get closer to a PR or possibly a BQ, but if I'm not there. . . I'll run the best I can. Maybe I'm becoming a grownup runner now?

Periodically, reports have filtered out of Russia that in the rugged remote mountains of southeastern Turkmenistan dinosaur tracks and human footprints appear together in a Jurassic layer of rock.
Near the village of Khodja Pil Ata (Holy Father of the Elephants) is a plateau with over 3,000 dinosaur footprints. It is on this plateau that human footprints were first noted in the Moscow News, 1983 (No. 24, pg. 10). It was written during a period when Communists strictly controlled the ideological aspect of all publications, so an article could only be published with official commentary from a representative of official State Science. The commentary they gave at that time was this:
Who knows, but maybe our very far removed ancestors did mingle with dinosaurs.
This is nothing short of astonishing that in an atheistic communist empire holding strictly to evolutionary dogma, they would admit to the possibility of humans and dinosaurs walking together.
Turkmenian scientist, Kurban Amanniyazov, led three expeditions to the dinosaur plateau and found human footprints alongside dinosaur tracks. The dinosaur plateau is approximately 400 meters long and 300 meters wide. There are over 3,000 well preserved dinosaur tracks on the plateau. In one football field size area are 1,253 dinosaur tracks of 65 different species. The smallest three-toed dinosaur tracks are 7-8 inches long while the largest footprint is 28 inches long; a megalosaur footprint that is as large as any discovered the Jurassic.
Professor Plutalov, a member of the Turkmenian expedition, made a map of the dinosaur tracks on the plateau. There are 31 dinosaur trackways. The plateau has the longest dinosaur trackways in the world. On the plateau are 26 Megalosaur trackways. Some of the largest are number 14 at 604 feet (195m), trackway 18 at 741 feet (226m), trackway 22 at 873 feet (266m), and the longest trackway, number 21 at 1,020 feet (311m). The previous record was a trackway in Portugal at 482 feet (147m).
Professor Kurban Amanniyazov, in an article that appeared in a Russian science magazine, "Around the World" writes about the plateau and imagines what it must have been like to see dinosaurs "walking through a forest of gingko trees: suddenly, the green wall opens and a big dinosaur comes out on the wide open place of the lagoon." He fantasizes what it would be like to see a 50-foot high dinosaur stretching his neck out of a gingko forest.
Dr. Amanniyazov is simply astonished that there are human or human-like footprints with the dinosaurs in a layer of Jurassic rock that he estimates to be 200 million years old. He discusses one of the footprints and says:
. . .if we speak about this human footprint, it was made by a human or a human like animal. Incredibly, this footprint is on the same plateau where there are dinosaur tracks. We can say the age of the footprint is not 5 or 10, but at least 150 million years old. It is 26 cm long, that is Russian size 43 (9.5 American) and we consider that whoever left the footprint was taller than we are.
Russian journalist Alexander Bushev reported in the January 31, 1995 edition of Komsomolskya Pravda that he had journeyed to the Koughitang Mountains of Turkmenistan and had seen the fossilized prints of dinosaurs and humans together. This, he says, is a direct contradiction to evolutionary theory; dinosaurs were supposed to be extinct long before humans appeared on the earth. Bushev said that every meter of the half kilometer-wide rock surface is covered by three-toed footprints made by giant dinosaurs making their morning or evening promenade along the ancient seashore. Bushev wrote, "But the most mysterious fact is that among the footprints of dinosaurs, footprints of bare human feet were found!" Bushev suggests that because "we know that humans appeared much later than dinosaurs" that there was an "extraterrestrial who walked in his swimming suit along the sea side."
Scientist Kurban Amanniyasov, who took Bushev to the site, says that science might possibly answer that in the affirmative, that humans and dinosaurs were together:
If we can prove that they do belong to a humanoid, then it would create a revolution in the science of man. Humanity would 'grow older' by thirty-fold and its history would be at least 150 million years old.
These reports remained almost hidden to the western world but tantalizing in their prospects of human-dinosaur prints together. No one could verify them because no photos were available, and no one from the western world had been to southeastern Turkmenistan to inspect the sites.
In August of 2000, Dr. Dennis Swift of the Dinosaur Institute was officially invited by the Turkmenistan government and the Academy of Science of Turkmenistan to investigate the Koughitang-Tau dinosaur sites. Dr. Swift received permission to conduct many tests and make latex molds of the dinosaur and human footprints. Professor Halmuad Kudajkulijev of the Institute of Geology and Turkmenistan Academy of Science accompanied Dr. Swift. The expedition also included Hemra Duridijev, Ishkabulov Nuriddin, and Narbayev Hudayhazar.
They journeyed by Russian jeep to a locale in the Koughitang-Tau Mountains beyond the dinosaur plateau. At an elevation of 8,000 feet, up a treacherous incline and down into a ravine that has several gray-rock Jurassic layers is a human footprint and dinosaur track site.
About 25 years ago, a slab of stone approximately 30 feet long and 15 feet wide became exposed. On this slab are 6 human footprints in a left-right sequence. Four of the human prints are clearly visible and are size 42E Russian. The other 2 footprints are half prints. The trail is in a sequence with the footprints averaging 18 inches apart. The trail was first examined in the 1980's and Professor Kudajkulijev had conducted research there on two previous occasions. The site geologically has been identified as Jurassic 150 to 200 million years old. The trail has been called the Swift Trail in honor of Dr. Swift being the first person from the outside world to investigate the site. There are about 50 dinosaur prints nearby. Approximately 100 meters below this site is another long narrow Jurassic layer where a distinct single human print has been identified.
The Jurassic layer seems to go for many miles to the west and lies at varying degrees below the surface of the Koughitang-Tau Mountains. Within a half mile of this human-dinosaur site is another gray layer of Jurassic rock with numerous dinosaur prints.
This team spent 3 days at the dinosaur plateau which is a flat surface of remarkably preserved fossilized dinosaur prints. The plateau is at an elevation of 8,000 feet and is tilted at about a 40 degree angle. The huge gray plateau is very prominent and is surrounded by drab brown hills. It is reached by a jeep followed by a vigorous climb to the plateau.
On the dinosaur plateau are 2 distinct human footprints among the thousands of dinosaur footprints. These prints have been identified as human or humanoid by Kurban Amanniyazov, Russian scientists, and members of the Turkmenistan Academy of Science. Professor Kudajkulijev told the author that there were fossilized goat tracks on the dinosaur plateau among the dinosaur tracks. The director of the natural reserve also spoke to Dr. Swift about seeing goat tracks on the dinosaur plateau with the dinosaur tracks. The Swift expedition team returned to the dinosaur plateau and found several fossilized hoof prints of goats. These goat tracks are surrounded by three-toed dinosaur tracks of an unknown theropod species. These goat tracks have been identified as matching the spiral horned goat that still lives in the Koughitang-Tau Mountain Range. The authorities at the Koughitang-Tau National History Museum told Dr. Swift that about 200 spiral horned goats live in the Koughitang-Tau Mountains. Those experts who are familiar with the spiral horned goat tracks said that they are identical to the spiral horned goats.
The Institute of Geology and the Academy of Science of Turkmenistan extended an invitation to Dr. Dennis Swift of the Dinosaur Institute to cooperate in a joint effort in the scientific study of these important sites. All papers, photos, and research of the Institute of Geology have been made available to Dr. Swift. He was also invited by the Koughitang Village Elder to return in April of 2001 with the promise that the elder would escort him to another dinosaur plateau by horseback. This plateau has never been seen by anyone outside of the few people in the village. No scientist has ever been there. This was the way the village chose to honor the author.
The implications of these discoveries are staggering: that human and dinosaur footprints are together at 2 sites is a pedestal smashing blow to evolutionism; the fact that Russian and Turkmenistan scientists have identified the human footprints is evidence that is hard to dismiss; another decisive blow to evolutionary theory are the goat tracks with human and dinosaur tracks. All these tracks are in the same Jurassic layer supposedly 200 million years old. This evidence wrecks the flimsy evolutionary time scale and would make any paleontologist pale.
The Dinosaur Institute seeks to boldly go where no man has gone before to bring back evidence that supports special creation.

Someone once told me that Franz Ferdinand would not record in America because they could not find a good cup of tea. True or not, I can see why this might have affected them so much. Everyone has one little piece of home that they need to have with them where ever they travel, be it a MacDonalds in France, a Calvin Klein in Italy or perhaps a Seven 11 in Tokyo just to make someone feel at home. If tea's is your thing, here's your answer. These teas are packaged in a wool bag-envelope that unfolds like a cross and the size is perfect to pack away in your suitcase. The beautiful packaging is by Les Petites Emplettes for Leaf, and the tea is better still! These natural loose leaf teas come in flavours like: earl grey scented with natural bergamot from Sicily, white tea, green tea scented with osmanthus, black tea scented with rose, black tea scented with lychee, and regular black tea. There have only been 500 of these made, so you better bet they'll be gone even before the water's finished boiling!
I can't believe Charles and Marie are still around. Great concept. The tea looks loose so it gets positive points for me right off the bat.
It sucks that you have to be a fan to add a comment... I'm one of many who have had a bad experience ordering from Charles & Marie. The products were so tempting so I ordered and I thankfully received my order (unlike many other people), but they sent an item in the wrong color and I decided against keeping it regardless of whether they'd send the correct color or not. I sent it back and they didn't credit me for the return. Tried to get it touch with them about it and haven't heard from them since. Now, their customer service number listed on the website is out of service and they're rated with an F from the BBB.
