Lens poles
In vast areas of Yakutiya, over endless river Len, rise the Lens poles: magnificent wonder of nature, rocks of red sandstone, partly with forest area, which can be seen of flat surface of big river. Visitors can climb on some of those hills with layers of shiny quartzite and enjoy in the view with the youngest Russian reservation of nature on UNESCO's list.
Vast spacious of Yakutiya with size can be compared with the area of all European countries together. Republic Saha (Yakutiya) is biggest federal unit ofRussian Federation. The way to Lens poles is hard but interesting. From Moscow toYakutsk capital Yakutiya, you can arrive by plane, at the price of 8 to 10 thousand roubles (250-315 dollars), and the flight lasts for about 7 hours. FromYakutskto Lens poles you can go by motor boat. This part of way is something what tourists remember the most, because the beauties of north far east parts are breathtaking. Ride by motor boat or boat to Lens poles will cost 350 roubles per person (11 dollars), and rent of private speedboat in season 4000 roubles (125 dollars) per hour. More detailed information you can find on official pages of national park. Travellers have one more option: come to town Pokrovska in county Hangalask yulus and by speedboat or motor boat come to natural reservation. To town Pokrovska used to lead Coachman's way ( Jamšciski trakt), probably from the time of establishing ofYakutsk(1632.). Today only ruins of few houses and cemetery of those buried here who died while travelling, leave the trace of that time. It is said that ancestors of old coachman still live today in those villages, and it is easy to recognize them since they don't look likeYakutskand have blue eyes.
RiverLenais really huge, there are many islands there, some of them are so big that totally special micro climate is formed there. On some river islands real deserts were formed. People fromYakutskcall it "tukulani", which means "sand areas"
After stopping inYakutskdeserts you go on along riverLena, now very close to Lens poles. First of all, from left and then from right there are small rocks appearing. Then from those monolithic rocks, created from erosion, the whole wall is formed, which goes all the way to line of horizon. Half and hour later Lens poles appear in front of you in all its size. Rocks of red sandstones, partly grown with forest, can be seen on flat surface of big river, cliffs made of light grey lime placed over the river, layers of quartzite shine on sun. Majority of those rocks is not available for visitors but in reservation there are few viewpoints on the height of around100 mfrom where you can enjoy in view of surroundings and big Siberian river. Reservation offers to its guests a day or two days excursions in Russian and English language, which give them the opportunity to view unique relief shape, to meet with local herbs and hear stories about animals which live here for long.
Climate in area of Lens poles is severe continental. In the winter the temperature goes under -35 degrease Celsius, and in the summer goes up to +40.The humidity is, due to closeness of river , which cause frost in the winter, and swelter in summer.

In general, who's more superstitious?
Most Helpful Guy
Guys are more superstitious. People think that girls are more but that's not true. Guys are very good at hiding their superstitions while girls openly show it. And generally, their superstitions feel reasonable at times while guys are the ones who create these things. Religious leaders, horoscopic gurus, sorcerers and people involved in espionage have a majority of guys. And perhaps, the girls were forced to follow the antics since ancient times?00|01|0
Most Helpful Girl
I think that, in general, more women hold superstitious or whacky beliefs (astrology, for example) but I think men who hold such beliefs are much more vehement about them.20|20|0

Yesterday, we looked at the three Philadelphia Flyers defensemen who appear to have to earn their spots on the team in the preseason.
Today, we'll look at forwards. Eleven remain from the team that took the Blackhawks to six games in the Stanley Cup finals just a few months ago, with Simon Gagne and Arron Asham the only casualties. They will be joined by new acquisitions Bill Guerin, Nikolai Zherdev and Jody Shelley, all fighting for 12 spots in the starting lineup on opening night Oct. 7 in Pittsburgh - though two or three more could be kept on the team as healthy scratches.
Forwards Zherdev, Mike Richards, Jeff Carter, Ville Leino, Danny Briere, Scott Hartnell and Claude Giroux are locks.
Here's a look at the guys on the bubble, and their chances of making the team.
Bill Guerin - One of the greatest American players ever, Guerin is in camp on a tryout contract, having been let go by the Penguins despite scoring 21 goals last season. He turns 40 on Nov. 9, but he has scored at least 20 goals in 10 of his last 11 seasons, including an average of 25 in the past four. He also has the experience of playing for two Cup champions (Pittsburgh in 2008-09, New Jersey in 1994-95) and an Olympic silver medalist (U.S. in 2002). After subtracting Simon Gagne's leadership in a trade to get under the salary cap this offseason, the Flyers could use Guerin. He is only in camp on a tryout contract, but so was Blair Betts last season, and Betts ended up being a key player during the Stanley Cup run.
Dan Carcillo - Carcillo is one of Laviolette's favorite players because of his grit, and the fans love him, too. But he was already bumped from the lineup in the playoffs last season when everyone was healthy, and now he has even more competition. Carcillo is valuable because he can be a competent contributor on a scoring line despite the fact that he's more known for fighting. But he could be expendable because he won't make the team based purely on talent, and he also won't make it as the designated enforcer after the offseason signing of Jody Shelley, who is three inches taller and 25 pounds heavier.
Jody Shelley - Shelley signed a three-year contract, so he's almost a lock to make the team. The question is how frequently the 34-year-old actually will be in the lineup. Last year's enforcer, Riley Cote, played in just 15 games. With the talent and depth the Flyers have - and especially if Carcillo makes the team - Shelley might be lucky to play 30 games.
Blair Betts - Betts became an extremely valuable player for the Flyers last season after joining the team on a tryout contract similar to Guerin's. He centered the checking line and was a top penalty-killer, and the Flyers went 50-29-7 with him in the lineup as opposed to 5-13-1 when he was out. But the 30-year-old still is recovering from offseason shoulder surgery and could have a hard time finding a spot in the lineup when he gets back, especially if Darroll Powe, who is five years younger, plays well as the checking-line center in his absence.
Ian Laperriere - The man known affectionately as "Lappy" almost doesn't belong on this list. He was known as one of the league's top defensive forwards even before cementing his spot in Flyers lore by using his face to block a shot in the first round against the Devils. But he's 36, and he was not quite the same player after returning from the brain contusion and facial injuries he suffered blocking that shot. He's arguably the nicest guy on the team and a fan favorite, so it would be tough for Laviolette to cut him, but it could happen.
James van Riemsdyk - Van Riemsdyk probably doesn't belong on this list, but he was a healthy scratch twice in the Cup finals, so there's a chance he could be on his way out if he has a bad preseason. The 21-year-old from Middletown had an OK rookie season, and when he returned for the last two games of the Cup finals, he started to show flashes of the player the Flyers were hoping for when they drafted him No. 2 overall in 2007. He used his 6-foot-3 frame to protect the puck in deep, setting up teammates and also scoring one goal himself. But the Flyers can't wait much longer for him to do that on a consistent basis, since they are built to win now. If he is outplayed by Guerin and Carcillo in camp, he could find himself on the trading block.
Darroll Powe - Powe is a longshot to make the team. He's a solid defensive player and penalty-killer, and he can play both center and wing. He's only 25 and has some speed, and he stayed in the lineup for every playoff game, even when Carcillo and Van Riemsdyk were healthy scratches for some games. But his 15 points last season were the lowest on the team among the top 16 forwards. When there was only one odd man out, Powe made the cut. But now, with the additions of Guerin and Zherdev and the only subtraction being Gagne, Powe's best chance at making the team might be if age catches up to Laperriere or injuries to Betts.

Microsoft has finally depleted their supply of 100,000 downloads that they were giving out of Vista 5536. That build is considered to be Pre-RC1 but you shouldn't be too disappointed if you didn't get an opportunity to download it. If RC1 remains on schedule it should be available sometime next week.
The site for the download now says:
The Customer Preview Program is now closed.
We have reached our goal of 100,000 downloads for the pre-RC1 release and the program is now closed. Windows Vista RC1 will be available in the coming weeks. Please refer to the Customer Preview Program website for information, including DVD-burning instructions.
I am extremely happy that Microsoft did this because it is a really stable release for everything that I have been running on it. This is now my primary operating system on two computers and the only thing I lack is a widespread AntiVirus compatibility. AVG seems to be doing well for me but I was hoping to use Avast. For more details on the compatibility issue please refer to my previous article.
Remember that your Beta 2 keys do work with this build and can be activated on up to 10 different machines (I think that is what the number was). Happy testing!

Asics (Onitsuka Co. Ltd) was founded in 1949 by Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka in Kobe, Japan. The company first manufactured basketball shoes in order to meet the needs of the nation's rising basketball stars.
He chose the name ASICS for his company in 1977, based on a famous Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano", which when translated expresses the ancient ideal of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body."
In the 90's ASICS introduced a number of high-tech innovations and established themselves as a technological leader in the footwear industry. In 1994 they introduced the very successful GEL-KAYANO.

The Bombardier Enhanced Vision System in the Challenger 605 received EASA certification last week. This system, which is already certified by Transport Canada and the FAA, consists of a head-up display and a forward-looking infrared camera, increasing situational awareness by providing an overlay image of the outside environment–including terrain, runway, other aircraft and animals–on the HUD, as well as on the copilot's multifunction display. This capability further increases safety during taxiing, takeoff and approach in low-visibility conditions, Bombardier said.

Elbe Sandstone Mountains- experience even more
Metropolis, shopping and …
Dresden, a classical masterpiece Dresden is a wonderful destination for an excursion less than an hour's drive or train ride from the heart of Saxon Switzerland.Many of the architectural highlights of the Saxon capital were built of Elbe sandstone, including the Frauenkirche (Church of our Lady) or the Zwinger Palace. Over the past few years, the old Neumarkt (New Market), with its hotels and boutique shopping malls, has grown at a rapid pace at the foot of the Frauenkirche's mighty dome. Visitors ought not to miss the castle and the Semper Opera in the old town, while Dresden's Neustadt offers colourful culture and a thriving pub scene as well as upmarket specialist boutiques that line the narrow lanes and passages. If you have a little more time to spare, there are 37 museums and Baroque monuments that are related to Saxon prince "August the Strong", say much about the city's history and provide Dresden with its characteristic cityscape. The Panometer provides a special highlight, transporting the visitor on a journey back in time to the Baroque Dresden of 1756. The large panoramic image, some 105 m in length and 27 m in height, provides the visitor with an all-round 3 D view and conveys a real-world feeling. Up on the viewing platform, visitors get a fabulous overview of the old town and out across the countryside beyond Dresden. At Volkswagen AG's "Gläserne Manufaktur" (transparent manufacturing) site, car lovers can watch luxury limousines being built. Every year in May, the international Dixieland Festival attracts about 500,000 Swing Jazz enthusiasts. And in the Christmas period, the old market is ablaze with the lights of the Striezelmarkt (Striezel Market), Germany's oldest Christmas market.
Step this way to Narnia
A glance at the map is enough to see that a border runs through the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, which separate Bohemia in the Czech Republic from Saxony. A closer look tells us that Bohemia also borrowed the name of Switzerland: that part of the national park and the mountains that fall inside the Czech Republic are known as Bohemian Switzerland. This is the home of Europe's largest natural rock gate, the Prebisch Gate.
The sandstone rock bridge, maximum width of 8 m is one of the most outstanding natural monuments of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. Some of the scenes featured in "The Chronicles of Narnia" were shot here, while the film features a digitally enhanced image of the gate.
Romance in Prague
Prague can be reached by car in just two hours. Winding alleyways and historic buildings, Gothic cathedrals, Baroque and Rennaissance palaces have preserved the charm of the Czech capital for centuries The "Hradschin" (castle district) with Prague Castle and the old town, including the Charles Bridge, are part of the World Cultural Heritage, as are Josefstadt and Neustadt. The cityscape is characterised by almost 500 towers and belvederes. The vast range of art treasures and the splendour of the aristocracy's palaces bear witness to a glamorous period. An evening walk through
narrow alleyways under gas-light that floods from ornate lanterns in a romantic and beautiful city is a must for anyone seeking to capture the essence of Prague.

Railway adventure in Saxon Switzerland
Model railways, miniature railways & more
Walk through a tiny version of Saxon Switzerland – or travel miniature format yourself …
Miniature Park "Little Saxon Switzerland" . In Wehlen's miniature park you'll find a reconstruction of the best-known rock formations, from the Bastei (or Bastion) to the bizarre shapes of the Affensteine (Ape Rocks) and the Elbe valley. Historic means of transportation, such as steam engines, steam boats and the tram, animate the small-scale replica of the region to the delight of children and adults alike. And in the workshop, you can watch as scupltors carve their beautiful sandstone souvenirs.
Railway romanticism with a view of the Bastei Railway lovers will thrill at the sight of the world's largest miniature garden exhibit "Eisenbahnwelten im Kurort Rathen" (Railway worlds in the spa town of Rathen). An area of 7,300 m² contains 4.2 km of tracks, 125 buildings, 14 stations and between 20 and 30 trains that are constantly on the move. The whole working exhibit is staged against the backdrop of the magnificent Elbe Sandstone Mountains.
In a scale of 1:87 from Bad Schandau to Obervogelgesang The "Miniatur Elbtalbahn" (Miniature Elbe Valley Railway), right next to the "Elbe-Freizeitland" leisure park in Königstein includes a detailed reconstruction of the railway between Obervogelgesang and Bad Schandau, complete with authentic track layout, working trains, carriages and signalling.
A model railway exhibit, the "Modelleisenbahn-Museum" (model railway museum) Sebnitz, presents over 100 years of model railway history and more than 50 years of TT railway manufacturing in a 250 m² exhibit. A fascinating world of miniature railways from past and present, the exhibit features toys that our grandparents might have played with to the modern trains of today. The museum also has a 12 m-long exhibit on the Elbe Valley and features that focus on themes of winter and night.
Saxon Semmeringbahn. Eight times a day the railway travels along the 100-year old track from Bad Schandau to Neustadt via the dreamy Sebnitz Valley. During the 30-minute journey, it crosses 27 bridges and passes through seven tunnels.
A lap on the Feldbahnzug (Feldbahn train). The Herrenleite Feldbahnmuseum (Light Railway Museum) displays narrow-gauge industrial railways used in former brickyards or quarries. Visitors can take a spin on the light railway.
Recapturing a romantic narrowgauge railway, the Schwarzbachbahn (Schwarzbach Railway) is the only narrow-gauge railway in Saxon Switzerland. From 1897 to 1951 it ran from Gossdorf Kohlmühle to Hohnstein. The track and the two tunnels are being rebuilt today but curious visitors can hike all the way to the exhibition on the old railway embankment at Lohsdorf Station.
A special tip:
Have your order brought to the table on a mini train! The Gartenbahnstübl Stolpen takes your order in a rather special way: every table has an original replica of a station on it, and when the train stops you simply put your order inside it on a piece of paper.
A few laps later the drinks arrive on the train. When it comes to settling the bill, the conductor arrives at the table, dressed in a bygone style with conductor's bag and money changer.

Familiy Holidays in Saxon Switzerland
An exciting day for the whole family
Popular attractions and hidden delights await visitors young and old in Saxon Switzerland. In the Elbe-Freizeitland (Elbe leisure park) Königstein visitors can climb the rock face, leap for joy on the bungee trampoline, soar on the sky rail or find their way through the adventure maze and climbing garden. For those who prefer a quieter life, there's
miniature golf or a chance to relax in a beach chair on the shores of the Elbe. Magnetic ore used to be mined at the "Marie Louise Stolln" mine in Berggießhübel on the edge of Saxon Switzerland. Today, guided tours bring alive the thrilling story of the mine. Children can hunt for the treasure of Marie Louise, listen to fantastic fairytales and sagas and experience what it was like to celebrate yuletide here on the last shift on Christmas eve. In the "Felslabyrinth" (Rock Maze) Langenhennersdorf don't forget to follow the numbers. The maze is a delight for children but adults will need to watch their girth: it gets a little tight in places beyond the widest places at entry and exit. The "jumble of rocks" is marked with ascending numbers so that nobody needs to worry about getting lost on their adventure through the maze, though the guidance makes the experience no less thrilling. Pixies, trolls and other mythical creatures await your presence at the Fabel- und Mythenpark (Fable and Mythical Park of) Königstein. Busy pucks and villains all they tell many an interesting tale about the world of the mythical creatures at an exhibit that stretches over 15,000 m². Visitors can watch figures being born in "live" demonstrations of Elbe sandstone sculpting. There is also a farmyard Pets Corner for young visitors. In the Urzeitpark (Primeval Park) Sebnitz you can step back into longforgotten times. In a 10,000 m² park, lifelike statues of early humans, mammals and monsters, such as sea creatures, are set amongst primeval fauna.
Flock to see a shepherd. Picture the scene: clouds float past in the skies over the Elbe Valley between the Königstein and the Lilienstein … an idyllic atmosphere … fragrant meadows and grazing sheep. But don't imagine there's nothing to do: follow the work and art of the shepherd as he demonstrates his work with his flock and a cheeky sheep dog, sheep shearing (remember to book early), wool processing and felting. When the work is done, the shepherd tells stories about his life and flock.
Yipieh-Yah-Yeah … Saddle up! Many boys and girls dream about riding or being up in the saddle like a cowboy. The riding farms of the region are excellently equipped to take you on horseback ride. And if that sounds too adventurous for you, there's always a trip in a carriage or charabanc.
More tips: details of gold digging, climbing, miniature golf, swimming and hiking trails suitable for pushchairs can be found in the family brochure "Mit Kindern in der Sächsischen Schweiz" (Travelling with children in Saxon Switzerland).
The "Waldhusche" Hinterhermsdorf is just right for little explorers. How did people begin to utilise the forests of Saxon Switzerland in the Middle Ages? Why were fences erected by early settlers? How did they transport felled timber? The "Waldhusche" answers those and other questions in a 60-hectare adventure playground with four tours over rough and smooth terrain.
Visitors can listen to explanations on how the forest was created, what shapes it and how it evolves with time. Beyond the learning, there is pure fun too: balance on tree trunks or explore a hardwood maze. The tours conclude at the Beizehaus information point.
At "Krietzschwitzer Kerzenträume" (Candle Dreams) store children and adults are invited to make candles themselves. If the process is simple – with each immersion the wick takes on an ever-thicker layer of wax to the colour of your choice – the result is one that everyone can take pride in.
Welcome to an oasis of fun for the family: Lilienstein. Away from the hustle and bustle of town, the Lilienstein area boasts a climbing school, childcare, accommodation for cyclists, a holiday farm and rafting on the Elbe.

Culture in Saxon Switzerland
Historical facts and fairy tales right in front of your eyes
Saxon Switzerland is much more than a haven of sporty pursuits. On those days that you may need a rest from the trek, the cycle ride and all that messing about on water, a wonderful world of culture awaits.
Through Pirna's old town alleys In the middle of the 18 th Century, Bernardo Bellotto, also known as Canaletto, captured the city of Pirna in 11 paintings that have no equal. Today, you can still catch a glimpse of the town that he saw: two of the most distinctive features are the dainty tower of the town hall and the mighty Marienkirche (St. Mary's Church), with its steep roof. A wander through the old town is a delight: romantic alleyways are stocked with small shops, cosy restaurants, pubs and cafes that spill out onto the pavements in summer.
Castles, stately homes & gardens. What became known as the "Five without equal" are not to be missed:
- Weesenstein Castle. On a peak overlooking the Müglitz Valley towers a fairytale castle. Founded around 1200 AD, the castle later became the favourite residence of Saxon King Johann. The royal living quarters, with their precious interiors and wallpapers of the 18 th 24 Culture and 19 th Centuries, the Christian chapel and the resplendent gardens and grounds are well worth a visit.
- Königstein Fortress. Never conquered in battle, the fortress in the air has been perched on its lofty sandstone mesa since 1241. You can reach the rock massif 247 m above the Elbe via 3 drawbridges or a lift. Originally the site of a medieval border castle, the fortress was extended into a hilltop citadel before serving as a federal prison from the 16 th Century onwards. Its most famous prisoner was Johann Friedrich Böttcher, co-inventor of European porcelain in 1706-07. The fortress was popular with Saxon royal August the Strong, who hosted sumptuous festivities there. Themed mediaeval evenings, with dinner, are now held in the underground vaults and casements, while the historic Christmas market, held annually at the castle conjures up the spirit of bygone times: to wander through the torch-lit yuletide market stalls is to be intoxicated by the sights, scented smells and spicy tastes of yesteryear.
- The Baroque Garden of Großsedlitz. The Baroque Garden is one of the greatest and most beautiful examples of garden art from the 18 th century. It was created in 1719 by Count Wackerbarth. In 1733, August the Strong designed it as a symmetrical site, with Friedrichschlösschen (a style of small castle), orangeries, fountains, cascades and basins.
- Fort Stolpen. Fort Stolpen sits aloft a 35 m high basalt peak and is visible from afar. Originally a border castle, it later became a prison. Countess Anna von Cosel, August the Strong's most famous and possibly most beautiful mistress, was forced to spend the last 49 years of her life here in keeping with the prevailing culture: men preferred intelligent women to keep well away from state affairs … Today, the fort is an historic museum with a collection of arms, a torture chamber, the Cosel tower, the castle dungeons and a well dug 82 m into the basalt.
- The Baroque Castle of Rammenau. Located in magnificent scenery, the Barockschloss and park is one of Saxony's most beautiful attractions. Halls and quarters that speak of noble pomp and ceremony transport the visitor back to the 18 th century. Traditional chamber music is played in the sophisticated ambience of the Hall of Mirrors.
- Kuckuckstein Castle, Pirna-Zuschendorf Castle and Hohnstein Castle have many stories to tell. Hohnstein, once a border castle and haunt of robber barons, served many purposes down the centuries: as hunting lodge, courthouse, federal prison, concentration camp and prisoner of war camp. Today, the castle offers accommodation within the castle walls and makes for an interesting day visit, with its historic buildings, bear gardens and torture chamber.
Concerts & Theatre
The "Sandstein & Musik" festival in Saxon Switzerland has boasted the exquisite musical delights of world-renowned artists down the years. Ludwig Güttler, Artistic Director of the festival, vouches for the quality of all concerts associated with the event. The festival takes place in the most beautiful of venues to be found in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains: The "Felsenbühne Rathen" (Rathens' Mountain Theatre) is known as one of Europe's most stunning natural stages. Set in the sandstone rocks of at the heart of the National Park, the theatre boasts an impressive ambience that is perfect for operas, fabulous fairytales and classical concerts. No suprise then to come across Winnetou and Old Shatterhand there, or Shakespeare's famous lovers Romeo and Juliet, as well as magic forest sprites and spirits. Weber's romantic opera "Der Freischütz" is staged to spectacular effect against the rocky backdrop of the Rathener
Muse temples, monuments and more …
In need of a rest from the elements on a rainy day? Saxon Switzerland is rich in museums, arts and crafts and exhibitions that tell of the region's chequered history.
At Pirna's DDR Museum visitors can enjoy a spot of Ostalgia. In an area covering 250 m², flats typical of the German Democratic Republic reflect the development of radio, television, cameras and record players from five decades of the past century. Learn too about the lives of young pioneers, the FDJ (youth organisation), the NVA (army) or the ABV (community policeman).
The "Robert-Sterl-Haus" in Naundorf near the town of Wehlen was the last home of the great German impressionist painter. The house, now a small museum, holds a surprisingly large collection of his works. Exhibits are staged in a way that leaves the visitor with the impression that the artist has just laid down his brush to pop out for a while before returning any moment soon.
On a tour of the "National Park Centre of Saxon Switzerland" you can learn more about those beauties of nature that are hidden from the human eye. Children marvel at red wood ants as they go about their busy lives in Saxony's only ant zoo. The dynamics of the wilderness are explained through interactive exhibitions at the centre – and the questions are not only posed to children, but adults too.Like, how can a rugged mountain range evolve from the bottom of the ocean? And where does the sandstone for the Dresdner Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) come
from? Atmospheric photos, text and music form part of a multivision show that takes you into the secret world of the NationalPark.
Sebnitz was once the centre of European silk flower manufacturing. Today, this great tradition can be relived in the demonstration workshop of the "Deutsche Kunstblume Sebnitz" house and in a few other, smaller, enterprises. Visitors are invited to have a go at making flowers themselves.

Saxon Switzerland – Water and more
There's more than just the Elbe … for water lovers, amateur captains and pirates.
At 1,383 m above sea level, the source of the Elbe bubbles from mountains in the Czech Republic. After travelling 364 km, the waters reach the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, spilling into tributaries of the Elbe via ravines that drop between 200 m and 300 m past rock walls and through crevices. A fitting entrance to a world of water that holds something for every visitor: take a leisurely steamboat down the Elbe, set your own pace in a rubber dinghy or take the plunge in one of the region's many lidos, most to be found in lush, green setting. Set sail on the world's oldest and largest paddle steamer fleet Steam navigation not only facilitated the transport of wood and sandstone that went into creating the classical cities of Dresden and Prague and many of Saxony's stately homes but now provides a glorious way for visitors to arrive in Saxon Switzerland. Regular scheduled and special boat services operate between Meißen and Bad Schandau, allowing passengers to alight at a number of stops along the way. Saxon Steam Navigation's fleet of nine historic steamboats aged between 79 and 128 years old is the only one of its kind in the world.
From April to October you can captain your own rowing boat against a backdrop of bizarre rock formations at Amselsee in the spa town of Rathen.
Gone fishing. Myriad rivers created our unique landscape – and you can fish in all of them. Whether in the Sebnitz, the Polenz, the Kirnitzsch or other kilometre-long river sections, trout can be found in abundance, along with grayling, book trout, bullheads and young salmon, which have been resettled to the area. In cold water so clear that you can see the fish, cast your line and off you go. There are also many overgrown stretches of river, where the catch is just as abundant but not quite as easy to hook. All waters are open for fishing, provided you have a permit. In some areas where trout are being bred, an extra permit is required.
Swimming, spas, saunas, thermal springs. A wealth of healthy pursuits: dive into the warm-water world of Saxon Switzerland, through artificial waves, off high-diving platforms, down gigantic slides, then relax and recover in sauna, spa and thermal spring.
Geibeltbad Pirna Swimming for fun and fitness: gigantic aquaslide, water playground with a boat canal, water jets and various saunas and Turkish baths.
Toskana Therme Bad Schandau Heavenly pleasure: steep yourself in sauna, spa & beauty treatments and sink into Liquid Sound® for an unparalleled bathing experience in colour and light.
Dr.-Petzold-Kräutervitalbad Sebnitz Outdoor swimming pool and great pampering programmes: various saunas and natural health spas that include treatments with "Cleopatra's milk", algae, hay and evening primrose oil to moor and mud packs.
monte mare Neustadt Adventure pool with Caribbean flair: take to the local South Seas, let artificial waves wash over you and hold your breath on the brink of shooting down a thrilling 103 m-long slide. When the sun comes out, take the plunge in the great outdoors Summer heat means outdoor bathing.
30°C in the shade, the sun is beating down and you need to cool off? Head for one of the many lidos and
open water swimming areas of Saxon Switzerland for an invigorating experience you won't forget. Beach volleyball on the banks of the Elbe. Playing volleyball on the beach is not only great fun but gets you fit in the bargain. There are riverside beach volleyball courts at Königstein and Bad Schandau.
Ahoy there!
If you would like to discover the Elbe alone, a number of unforgettable experiences await you – just ask anyone who has conquered the Elbe in a dinghy, canoe or kayak! Whether alone, in a pair or with a group, you'll find something for you in a wide selection of boats: from canoes to 20-person rafts and 400 bhp powerboats. After professional instruction, beginners may also take to the water. The Saxon Switzerland stretch of the Elbe boasts five landing stages, while the region offers a variety of "water sportfriendly" accommodation.
Magical rides on crystal clear water
"Obere Schleuse" Hinterhermsdorf. From Hinterhermsdorf, romantic forest paths cut through mysterious and mythical woods and rugged sandstone rocks on their trail deep into the valley. More than 120 years ago locals established boating, in place of wooded rafts, on the dammed waters of the River Kirnitzsch. Today, you can take a truly magical boat trip along 700 m of crystal clear waters. Watch out for rock forms and shapes moulded by wind and weather into the likeness of animals and fairytale figures. After a 20-minute ride, the boat reaches the lock, beyond which the water roars over the dam.

Personal Statement of Experience (PSE) and Supplementary Essay (SE)
How is the PSE used?
For Most Programs
Admission at Queen's is very competitive and we use the Personal Statement of Experience (PSE), Supplementary Essay (SE) (where required) and your academic record to help make admission decisions. For all programs, except Commerce, completion of the PSE is optional-but recommended. While we recommend that all applicants submit a PSE, applicants who have not submitted a PSE (with the exception of Commerce) will be considered equally for admission to Queen's.
For applicants who fall within a critical range, we may consider your PSE, in support of your application to the program.
The recommended last date to submit the PSE is February 15.
For All Programs
The minimum admission average, and the number of students selected based on the PSE, vary between programs and from year-to-year. It is dependent on the number of applicants to the program, the academic strength of the applicants in a given year, the number of spaces available, and the admission circumstances in a given year.
Practice PSE
We think it's a good idea to give your PSE some thought before you submit it, so we've created a Practice PSE that you can use. It gives you the opportunity to craft your answers and have other people review them for you. If you have applied to Commerce or Concurrent Education, please see the notes below.

A friend asked me to do a blogging presentation at church in May. So I figured it's time for me to start back up again. Even if I write something small. I should do it. A little every day. Life keeps moving around us and these moments will soon be gone.
I went to Time Out for Women this past weekend with some of my college friends. I got a few ideas from some of the speakers rolling around in my head. One was to just say yes when my kids ask me to do something. Whatever it is, say yes. I've practiced it today. We had some cake on the counter. The kids wanted some. I said, "Yes! Just do your chores first." That counts, right? It's still a yes even if it's delayed until the dishes get loaded.

Mario Maker 3 is a SNES bootleg game made by an unknown group (they marked "Black+" in the title screen, maybe stolen the rights of Blackplus Games) in holiday 2020.
It's not so flexible as the original versions and lacks of new features of Maker (e.g. stack-up) however, you can build levels based on this 4 games:
- Somari
- Super Mario 4 (Game Boy)
- Super Mario World (NES)
- Grand Dad: Super Mario 7
- All of 4 games that used are also bootleg.
- Maybe it's a hack of Mario Paint.
- In Somari, you can choose between 4 different characters (similar to Costumes in canon version): Somari, Taluig, Shawar, Silwal.
- Grand Dad palette is also available for Mario by using PAR codes. It would replace Somari.
- The new three characters are made in the style of Somari, as Tails + Luigi, Shadow + Wario, and Silver + Waluigi.
- There are some variations that the fourth character called Rouwal (a hybrid of Rouge and Waluigi), but come on, who wants a man in wears of a woman :-)

Guns_and_Horses wrote an interesting blog post titled "Don't Force PC Games to Walk the Plank." What he had to say was an intriguing point of view but one I found myself not completely in agreement with. Let me just say that this is not an attack on you sir, just me turning this into a blog post because I wrote a lot in response to your's. This is not personal, it's just that my outlook on PC gaming differs from your own.
But before I get to the points I disagreed with you on, let me say that piracy will always exist no matter what anyone does. There are just those people, in my opinion, who don't want to pay for anything yet still feel entitled to download anything they want for free.
All developers/publishers can do is try and convince those that their product is worth buying which is a hard thing to do. Despite The Witcher 2 being pirated 4.5 million times, an optimistic estimate I might add, CD Projekt's chief executive Marcin Iwinksi's attitude is still positive and doesn't change his outlook on PC gaming ( The Witcher 2 Illegally Downloaded 4.5 million times).
Yet despite what some people say, most pirated copies of games are not lost sales. A majority of those pirates will genuinely not buy a product no matter what for reasons I don't know.
I've always said that developers/publishers need to stop focusing on fighting piracy because they can't win. They need to focus on making a great game that people are willing to spend money on. Draconic DRM and poorly made games are reasons why even honest consumers are no longer purchasing certain games and even turning to pirate them ( Is Anti-Piracy More Damaging Than Piracy).
Also, the used game market is just as bad as piracy ( Is The Used Game Markey Worse Than Piracy ).
With all that said there are several things you've written that I don't agree with.
1 – "Music can never die, PC gaming though can die and if things don't change it could do soon."
PC gaming will not die despite piracy on the platform. PC gaming is stronger than it ever was with the potential to surpass console gaming with a developer that can tap into that inexhaustible wellspring. (Is The PC Development Headache Worth It )
2 – "PC gamers often complain about developers snubbing their platform in favor of supposedly inferior consoles but what do you expect when 5 in every 6 people playing The Witcher 2 stole it."
Actually, as a PC gamer, I don't really complain because I don't care. I'd rather miss out on games rather than get console ports which has been happening more frequently. Ubisoft's entire lineup of games have been crappy console ports ( I have been boycotting Ubisoft for years now). Even Skyrim is a console port with lackluster graphics options and poor menu and UI system.
And yes, consoles are inferior to PCs in terms of hardware. They are inferior the second they are released on shelves because PC technology is continually advancing. Unfortunately PC gaming is being held back because of consoles now that many developers want to release their games on all platforms.
3 – "CD Projekt will sell more copies on Xbox next year than they did on PC…"
I'm not so sure about that. The Witcher 2 is not a triple-A title so I will be shocked if it even matches the PC sales numbers which are still climbing.
4 – Console gaming at least in most countries is piracy free…"
I'm sorry but where is the proof of that? Piracy is prevalent on consoles and handheld devices. In fact, just like the PC, console piracy has been on the rise as well. Most of the time when a new video game is released on torrent sites, before its release date, it's usually a console version first and then the PC version.
The problem is that console piracy is even harder to track; even harder than tracking PC piracy whose numbers and data are still inaccurate.
I'm just curious that you can say such a thing about console piracy when I remember the R4 chip and hundreds of thousands of Xbox 360's being sold on Craigslist and Ebay because they had been modified and containing dozens of pirated games on them. And those are just two examples of console piracy.
5 – "Of course videogame piracy is no new thing and MMO's will always be alive on PC, in fact they were originally developed to combat piracy."
Since when was that the reason for MMOs being developers? MMOs started off as nothing more than text-based games for Dungeon and Dragons, and other table-gaming, enthusiasts. MMOs were not created to combat piracy.
Given that I've been playing MMOs for a decade-and-a-half, you are going to need to prove that statement to me.
6 – "No one likes DRM and CD Projekt were incredibly brave to release a game without it, they hoped that gamers would see the incredible effort and passion that went into the game and have the decency to pay for it. Sadly it seems this faith was misplaced."
Actually their faith wasn't misplaced. Once they got rid of the DRM their sales started to improve. 1 million sales is anything but disappointing for them. In fact, that is pretty good.
Yet let me just say that I applaud Guns_and_Horses' efforts to tack a subject that, to be honest, we all don't have a firm grasp on. We can't begin to understand why most people wish to pirate games rather than support the developer.
But PC gaming is going nowhere. There are more PC owners than console gamers several times over. We are an extremely profitable market. It doesn't matter if triple-AAA titles don't make their way over to the PC because we have more indie developers who thrive on the PC. I'd rather have indie developers helping to evolve the gaming industry rather than keep playing the same triple-AAA titles over and over again to the point where the video game industry will stagnate.
PC gaming will never die. It will continue to grow and thrive. Piracy should be treated as a non-issue with developers and publishers, such as Marcin Iwinski of CD Projekt, focusing on releasing a great game with high value rather than a game that is a poor port and restrictive DRM.
With that said, let me quote Iwinski who came up with the number that The Witcher 2 was pirated about 4.5 millions times This is why The Witcher 2 sold 1 million copies, and counting, on the PC
We did not give up, but came up with new strategy: we started offering high value with the product – like enhancing the game with additional collectors' items like soundtracks, making-of DVDs, books, walkthroughs, etc. This, together with a long process of educating local gamers about why it makes sense to actually buy games legally, worked. And today, we have a reasonably healthy games market.
In any case, I am not saying that we have eliminated piracy or there is not piracy in the case of TW2. There is, and TW2 was [illegally] downloaded by tens of thousands of people during the first two weeks after release. Still, DRM does not work and however you would protect it, it will be cracked in no time. Plus, the DRM itself is a pain for your legal gamers – this group of honest people, who decided that your game was worth the 50 USD or Euro and went and bought it. Why would you want to make their lives more difficult?

Obsidian Finance Group, LLC v. Cox, 2011 WL 2745849 (D. Or. July 7, 2011).
Factual Background
Plaintiff Padrick is a senior principal with Obsidian Finance Group, LLC, an "advisory and investment firm that specializes in unique and difficult business situations, including distressed enterprises and distressed assets." As part of his work with Obsidian, Padrick was appointed the bankruptcy trustee of the Summit 1031 bankruptcy case. Defendant Crystal Cox is a self-proclaimed "investigative blogger," who maintains and operates www.obsidianfinancesucks.com and www.summit1031sucks.com, among a other websites relating to these Plaintiffs.
Plaintiffs sued for defamation. They moved for summary judgment on the issue of liability.
Trial Court Proceedings
A defamatory statement is a false statement that would subject another to "hatred, contempt or ridicule or tend to diminish the esteem, respect, goodwill or confidence in which the other is held or to excite adverse, derogatory or unpleasant feelings or opinions against the other."[1] To prevail on a claim of defamation under Oregon law, a plaintiff must establish (1) the making of a defamatory statement; (2) publication of the defamatory material; and (3) a resulting special harm, unless the statement is defamatory per se and therefore gives rise to presumptive special harm.[2] Statements which are expressions of opinion are protected by the First Amendment and are not actionable.[3] Statements of opinion, however, may be actionable if the recipients could reasonably have concluded that the statement was based undisclosed defamatory facts.[4] The Ninth Circuit has articulated that statements should be evaluated by considering the "totality of circumstances in which [they were] made."[5]
First, a court reviews the statement in its "broad context," which includes the general tenor of the entire work, the subject of the statement, the setting, and the format of the work. Next, the court turns to the "specific context" and figurative or hyperbolic language used and the reasonable expectations of the audience in that particular situation. Finally, the court inquires whether the statement itself is sufficiently factual to be susceptible of being proved true or false.[6]
The Defendant did not dispute that she posted the statements at issue, rather, she contended they were comprised of statements by "experts," her own opinions, commentary, and tips submitted by her readers. In evaluating the statements at issue, the court found it determinative that the Defendant made excessive use of hyperbolic accusations without supporting facts. Given the context and nature of her blogs and reporting style, the readership was much less likely to consider statements to be verifiable facts. Furthermore, the Defendant's "use of question marks and her references to proof that will allegedly occur in the future negate any tendency for her statements to be understood as provable assertions of fact. Her statements contain so little actual content that they do not assert, or imply, verifiable assertions of fact. They are, instead, statements of exaggerated subjective belief such that they cannot be proven true or false."
Based on the foregoing classification of the Defendant's statements, the court denied Plaintiffs' motion and, without motion from the Defendant, dismissed the Plaintiffs' action in its entirety.

New Delhi: India and England were Tuesday embroiled in an acrimonious tug-of-war over the inaugural Twenty20 Champions League, with both wanting to host it with or without each other.
The lucrative football-style League, featuring top Twenty20 domestic sides from around the world, is scheduled to be played between Sept 29 and Oct 8.
India insists it will host the tournament while England, which opposes the terms and conditions laid down by the Indians, wants to stage its own version in the United Arab Emirates on the same dates.
Utter chaos prevailed in cricket circles on Tuesday as both sides claimed that teams from Australia and South Africa will take part in their respective tournaments.
India, buoyed by the success of the Indian Premier League (IPL) earlier this year, said it will finalise details of its tournament at a meeting in Mumbai on Wednesday with Australian and South African chiefs.
The northern cities of New Delhi, Mohali and Jaipur have already been announced as the possible venues in the 10-million dollar event, with half that amount going to the winners.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said the Abu Dhabi royal family had agreed to bankroll their tournament to be held in the UAE capital and the adjoining emirate of Sharjah.
"At the moment we are progressing with our plans and we have no plans to travel to Mumbai and attend Wednesday's meeting," an ECB spokesman said in London on Monday.
Who plays where is undecided, although the original plans had the top two Twenty20 teams from Australia, England, South Africa and India taking part.
Local media reports on Tuesday said India had turned down England's offer to send two teams for their event in the Gulf - and also does not expect English sides to feature in their own tournament.
In a letter to the ECB, the Indian board wrote it 'wished the ECB all the best' with its tournament but "unfortunately, we cannot accept" the invitation, reports said.
The BCCI's reply, sent on its behalf by the IPL commissioner Lalit Modi, suggests their position is final.
Modi have 'clearly informed' the eight IPL franchises that they can participate only in tournaments run and approved by the BCCI.
Talks between the Indian board and the ECB failed to resolve the issues of tournament rights and the availability of players who took part in the unauthorised Indian Cricket League (ICL).
India, the sport's financial powerhouse, wanted to retain a 50 per cent stake in the tournament and would not allow teams that fielded ICL players from taking part.
Kent, one of the two teams set to represent England in the Champions League, has two ICL players in Pakistan's Azhar Mahmood and Justin Kemp of South Africa.
With the England out of the League fixture, Modi said a team from Pakistan was confirmed while the last slot may be filled by a team from New Zealand or even Lanka.
Indian official Lalit Modi had said last week the Champions League was being put off to a later date, but appeared to change his mind after being told England were going ahead with their own tournament.
The tournament is sandwiched in the short 11-day gap between the Champions Trophy final in Pakistan on Sept 28 and the first Test between Australia and India in Bangalore from Oct 9.

With banks beginning to relax their lending policies supporting a revival in the property market now is the time to apply for a bond, advises South Africa's biggest mortgage originator, ooba.
"With the relaxation of lending policies there should be a much improved chance of being approved for a loan on favourable terms." says Kay Geldenhuys, property finance manager at ooba. "Banks are once again offering 100% loans and the current lower interest rates make it a better time for consumers looking to buy."
ooba's tips on getting that bond approval.
Checking affordability
Before you even apply for a loan, check whether the property is affordable, suggests Geldenhuys.
"Determining the right price range is an essential first step to avoid wasting time looking at unsuitable properties. A property finance consultant will take you through the exercise of establishing what you can afford, taking into account your specific financial requirements. Monthly repayment affordability is generally calculated at 25 to 30 percent of joint gross income, but other criteria, including existing debt commitments, may affect the size of the loan that the bank will grant. Remember that the 'hidden costs' (transfer and bond registration fees) usually have to be paid upfront, and add a sizeable amount to the cost."
Get prequalified
One way to ensure that the loan you apply for will be granted is to get a prequalification. Companies, such as ooba, will at no cost, prequalify you for a certain bond amount which takes the stress out of applying for a bond once you have decided on buying a property. An additional positive factor is that buyers who are prequalified are in a much stronger position to negotiate with sellers.
Check your credit record
Bond applications may be declined for several reasons: you may not be able to afford the monthly loan repayments, or may require a 100% loan that would push the repayments beyond your reach. Another critical consideration is your credit profile, says Geldenhuys.
"This includes your employment history and consumer bureaux results, which provide a picture of your debt and payment history. If the bank considers you a good credit risk, it will assess the value of the property to be purchased. If this too meets all the relevant criteria, the loan is usually granted. The mortgage originator also often motivates the merits of a particular loan application to the bank's credit manager."
To improve your credit record Geldenhuys suggests cancelling out-of-date credit cards; and ensure that you pay all instalments on existing debt by the due date every month.
Submit the correct information
To assist the bank in determining its risk, you will be required to provide personal information such as bank statements, salary slips, a statement of assets and liabilities, a statement of your monthly expenses and information on your credit history, including whether you have ever been insolvent.
If you go through an originator, such as ooba, they will ensure you have all the correct paper work to avoid unnecessary delays.
Get the best interest rate
The lower the bank's risk in lending funds to a particular borrower, the better the rate it will offer that individual. In calculating its risk, it will consider factors such as the amount of equity you are willing to invest into the property, i.e. your deposit; the size of the loan; and the repayment-to-income ratio (the ratio between the bond payment and the buyer's income).
The type of bond you apply for, your credit history and the investment value of the property you intend buying also affect the rate you will be offered. Shop around and negotiate with various banks to ensure you get the best package. A convenient way to do this is through the services of a mortgage originator who facilitate it all on your behalf as a free service."
"While a deposit is not always required, try to put down 20% or more if you can, as the bank is more likely to offer you a better rate as the risk of the loan is reduced," suggests Geldenhuys.
Use a mortgage originator
Finally, Geldenhuys suggests that consumers looking for the best deal on home loans should make use of a mortgage originator.
Mortgage originators specialise in shopping around between banks and negotiating the best deal for the customer for free.
"Obtaining a preferential rate of just 0,1% below the prime rate can make a big difference to your monthly repayments. However, in negotiating the best package, the mortgage originator needs to take more than just the rate into account and will structure a package that best suits the individual's needs overall.
"With the property market beginning to perk up and banks loosening lending criteria as well as granting 100% loans, now is the best time in the last two years to apply for a bond," concludes Geldenhuys.
Prospective home buyers who obtain a prequalification certificate are doing so much more than just finding out how much they can afford to spend on a house.
"According to a recent poll conducted by bond originator ooba, three quarters of South African consumers are unaware of their credit profile.
"Many of South Africa's consumers with bad credit records are unable to secure home loan finance to enable them to buy property, according to ooba.
Although 100% home loans are being approved by banks in select cases, potential property owners are advised to save for mortgage deposits, due to the numerous economic benefits for prospective home owners in the long-term.
According to the Credit Bureau Monitor's 2010 4th quarter report only 53.3% (9.90 million) of the 18.51 million credit-active consumers in South Africa were classified as in good standing.

This is our dream home and this is really a dream come true for us!! Thanks a lot for your help and quick responses. It has really been a great experience working with ooba.
I am thankful for the wonderful manner in which you assisted me with my insurance. You are an amazing asset to ooba.
I was told by 5 people that I should go through Yvonne Viljoen. She managed to get me what I wanted from the bank. She was thorough, fast, efficient and ahead of the schedule. Because of this experience I will recommend ooba and Yvonne and I can say that I cannot relate to other people's disappointment when buying a home.
I tried ooba despite not knowing anybody that has gone through a bond originator. The process isn't over yet, but so far it is the best decision I've made. Efficient, amazing service. You always know what is going on and guided me through the entire process.
"Thank you ever so much for this. You are totally on the ball and your service is appreciated - it's rare nowadays."
"Thanks to ooba for their great service, I will definitely recommend you."
"Thank you for promptly sorting out the issues we have been having."
"You are a very professional person to deal with. Thank you for your efficient and excellent service."
"Baie dankie vir jou vriendelikheid."
"ooba is really going out of their way to assist us here."

This webinar on clinical site audit/ inspection will outline the responsibilities of the Investigator and the clinical research coordinator during and after site audits/inspections and show what you must do to ensure preparedness at all times.
Why Should You Attend:
The Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) plays a key role in the site's success at audits/inspections, and must therefore know how to ensure the site is ready for an audit or inspection at all times.
In order to ensure audit/inspection preparedness, the CRC must be aware of the applicable regulatory and sponsor requirements, guidelines and SOPs, and ensure the conduct of the clinical research at the site complies with them. The site coordinator must know how to prepare for an audit or inspection and how to act and respond to questions during the audit or inspection. Following the audit or inspection, the site coordinator should be able to appropriately act upon the audit or inspection findings.
This 60-minute presentation will detail the responsibilities of the Investigator and the clinical research coordinator during and after Site Audits/Inspections. We will discuss how you can prepare your clinical site for audits/inspections and ensure readiness at all times.

- Training clinical research personnel (sponsor/CRO and research sites teams)
Topic Background:
The investigator is responsible to conduct the clinical research in accordance with the signed agreement, relevant, current protocol(s) and the applicable regulatory requirements and international guidelines. The investigator may delegate many tasks to the clinical research/site coordinator (CRC). The CRC oversees the daily clinical activities and may represent the investigator when interfacing with the sponsor, the subjects, the site staff and other involved parties. The role of the site coordinator is therefore crucial – a dedicated, knowledgeable CRC is the key for the appropriate conduct of the clinical research activities at the clinical site throughout the clinical trial.
The most acceptable way for the sponsors, CROs or regulatory authorities to confirm that the clinical investigators/sites conduct the study in compliance with the applicable regulatory and sponsor requirements, guidelines and SOPs, is to conduct an audit or an inspection of the clinical site. Audits and inspections follow similar processes with similar outcomes although they are handled differently. QA audits are scheduled way in advance whereas regulatory authority inspections might occur without or with a very short prior notice. The site coordinator will be required to prepare the site for the audit/inspection as well as attend any audit or inspection held at the site, to facilitate the auditor/inspector's work and answer their questions.
Following the audit/inspection the findings will be communicated to the site and the site coordinator might be delegated the responsibility to answer the auditor or the regulatory authority, and conduct the corrective actions required.
