Delphi Archeological Site "The sightseeing tour today begins with your Tour Director escorting you to the entrance of the Archaelogical site of Delphi where you will meet and continue with a local guide. Located on top of a hill overlooking a valley blanketed with olive trees, Delphi is among the most popular ancient sites in Greece. During the 8th century B.C. Delphi became internationally known as the "naval" or center of the earth, considered to be the holiest of all holy sites. The reason being the powers of Pythia, the priestess and Oracle of Delphi. The Oracle could supposedly tell the future. Sitting on a tripod inhaling ethylene gases in a state of hypnotic trance and muttering words incomprehensible to mere mortals, holy priests were needed to interpret her visions into a common language and deliver the prophecy to whoever was requesting it. For this reason no major decision was made without consulting the Oracle of Delphi first. While visiting Delphi you will see the Temple of Apollo which housed the oracle, the various treasuries holding the offerings made to the god Apollo and the Oracle, the stoa of the Athenians where trophies were displayed from their sea battles, the ancient theatre, the grand alter, the "Naval of the Earth" stone, the marketplace, statues, ceramics and many artifacts from excavations at Delphi. You will also have time to visit the archaelogical museum close to the site and finally, walking downhill, to see the Sanctuary of Athena Pronea consisting of several altars, temples, two treasuries and the Tholos, a round construction rather unusual for the ancient Greek architecture. Approximate value: 23 EUR per person
Olympia Archeological Site The tour today begins with your tour director escorting your group from the hotel to the Archaeological site of Olympia where you will meet your local Greek guide at the entrance to the site. Considered today as being one of the most interesting and educational sites you will find throughout the Peloponnese, Olympia is mostly famous for being the venue of the Ancient Olympic Games and home to the Olympic flame. Today you will see the remains of a gymnasium, ancient temples, the stadium, housing structures, and just outside the site, the archaeological museum hosting findings from the ancient site and from other excavations in the surrounding areas with well labeled exhibits including the famous statue of Hermes of Praxiteles and Nike Paionios. The games held in Olympia, were actual athletic events with a religious element as they were dedicated to the god Zeus. The Temple of Zeus, located close to the stadium, was built in the 5th century BC by a local architect and made of limestone and marble. Historical records narrate that a giant statue of Zeus was found inside the temple made of ivory and gold. The site of Olympia also houses one of the oldest temples in Greece, The Temple of Hera. This was constructed in the 7th century BC and is the alter where the Olympic Flame is lit for today's modern Olympic games.

Good product/Hard to find
I've been looking for a good, solid wooden shoe rack for a long time, and all I had to do was open your catalog -BINGO!-there it was.
November 15, 2013
Two-tier shoe rack
This rack fits very nicely in my hall coat closet. It holds regular shoes as well as boots. It's a great size and quite sturdy.
October 28, 2013
Great organizer
It is great to have all my shoes together in pairs so I can keep things neat and accessible. Easy to assemble, too.
October 16, 2013
good item, great price
The shoe rack cleared up our side entry porch, and doesn't look anything like the usual droopy plastic you often see for such items. It's all wood, and looks elegant for the price, or any price. Much better than I expected in fact.
Thank you.
October 15, 2013
love it!!
I am so happy to have organization in my home shoe department. Thank you again for such a great product. It was so easy to put together and was delivered as promised.
September 25, 2013
Great Price..Lightweight Wood
This product has a great price and is sturdy once assembled (no tools required). My only concern is the wood is lightweight (heavier than balsa wood but not much). The concept and look is Scandanavian style and attractive. Definitely worth the price!
September 21, 2013
nice organizer
I use this just inside door so wet dirty shoes can stop and rest awhile. Keeps floors clean too. I intend to paint mine to match my decor.

Thread: Mp 55 or MP 77 - for doubles?
12-12-2001, 03:40 PM #1Le_ig Guest
Mp 55 or MP 77 - for doubles?
Tell me please, which one is better for doubles; I doubt: recently I have bought
a Ti-10 Regular 2U/3G but found it a little bit heavy for doubles, so I use it and my old Cab 20 Tour 2U/3G for simples.
May be you have some other preferences, I mean not only YONEX racquets: smth. like FORZA (I know that Danish top players use it) or CARLTON....
I need a racquet which can produce a great smash (of course with my help :-)) ), and quite good in defence.
Re: Mp 55 or MP 77 - for doubles?
MP 100. I odnt think The Mp 77 or Mp 55 can be used for Doubles. I woudl strobgly recommend That u Use Iso 800 fro doubles. But then Try it out B4 u want to buy it.
If u cant play with any 2U rackets for doubles then Buy The Iso Ti SP SX or SS. If u want a even lighter racket then Buy the Iso 900 Sr G5 version. U will like it. This is If u have very small hands.
Re: Mp 55 or MP 77 - for doubles?
I'd suggest a 3U racquet. Maybe a 3U Ti-10, considering that you already have the 2U model?
Out of the Forza Ti Tech models I've tested, I'd rate the 600 and the 1600 as the most powerful ones. The 600 has is oval and regular length, the 1600 is isometric and long. I use the 1600 currently, and find it to be close to the perfect racquet for me. I got it mainly to use in doubles but I have found it's equally great in singles.
Like you, I find that most Yonex 2U's are a bit on the heavy side, especially for fast doubles play. I have a MP-100 that I seldom use, as I find it slows me down and it doesn't give me more power or better control than the 1600.
All the Carlton racquets are lighter than Yonex' 2U racquets. I have a number of Airblades and Aerogears, but I'm not really up to date on the current models.
Hope this helps.
Re: Mp 55 or MP 77 - for doubles?
Hey Mag, I asked u some stuff abt Prince racket. I hope u read the thread.

Re: Mp 55 or MP 77 - for doubles?
for a reaaally light racket go with mp 80 !! 4U, never tried it but its hell of a light racket!
Re: Mp 55 or MP 77 - for doubles?
Eh... how can you recommend something you've only heard about, Joe? Is that helpful?
Re: Mp 55 or MP 77 - for doubles?
Well, I've played with both the 1000 and the 1100. They are very different. The Ti Tech 1100 is very head light, extremely maneuverable, very good control... for me, a wonderful doubles racquet, but mind you -- one needs good technique to get a really thundering smash. Unfortunately, the 1100 has been taken off the market (at least here in Sweden) as they had a number of bad batches of this year's model... so be warned! I decided to replace mine with another model (the 1600).
The 1000 is for the very attack-minded player. It's very stiff and has a lot of power but less control than the 1100. Plus, it's an obsolete model as of this year. I wasn't too impressed by it to be honest, it felt lifeless somehow... It's hard to describe -- some racquets are just fun to play with, others are not.
But hey, if you live in France, then why not buy local? Babolat is an excellent French brand. I'd check out the Satellite Pulsar if I were you! I've only had a couple of rallies with it but it felt like a really nice racquet, light and maneuverable yet with good power.
12-19-2001, 10:57 AM #10Le_ig Guest
Thanks a lot for your advice!!! I'll try Babolat Pulsar, but you see, the head of the racquet has much more holes for the string than a usual one. On Babolat's site you can see the specs (www.babolat.com). Don't you think that it can weaken the resistance of the head while using high tensions, while clash ....?
By the way, Marina Andrievskaya, - are you pleased with her performances in Sweden? I live in France, but I am russian, as she. We have trained together when we lived in Moscow.

Roberta Kaplan, attorney for key plaintiff Edith Windsor, made a bold statement in favor of gay rights, saying a "sea change" was happening in the country in favor of same-sex marriage. Such sweeping rhetoric from counsel is usually an invitation to a verbal smackdown from the justices. They like specifics, not speeches. Scalia had his chance for a tailor-made "moment" of his own but did not pounce.
"Why are you so confident in that judgment?" he asked mildly. "How many states permit gay couples to marry?" When told just nine, all Scalia could retort was, "So there has been this sea change between now and 1996."
The conservative justices were not exactly sitting on their hands, but aside from Justice Clarence Thomas, who never speaks at argument, their energy was noticeably absent.
4. So is DOMA doomed?
It's an almost reflexive attitude among many legal and political experts to downplay the influence Justice Anthony Kennedy possesses as the so-called swing vote among the divided conservative-liberal bench. Giving any one person in Washington that much credit just doesn't seem right, in the view of some. He certainly has done everything in his power to dismiss it, calling his ability to make or break a hot-button appeal a "myth."
But it was hard to ignore remarks Kennedy made about an hour into the argument, which may give cheer to gay rights supporters.
He pointed out there are about 1100 various federal provisions that legally married same-sex couples cannot use because of DOMA -- everything from taxes to family medical leave.
"Which in our society means that the federal government is intertwined with the citizens' day-to-day life, you are at real risk of running in conflict with what has always been thought to be the essence of the state police power, which is to regulate marriage, divorce, custody," he said.
They were brief comments, delivered in the typical droll manner that is the low-key justice. He never dominates arguments, but when he talks, ears perk up. Even the justices on the bench were looking his way, absorbing the impact of what Kennedy was trying to convey.
Any real power would be felt behind the red velvet curtains of the courtroom, where all important opinions are written. That is where the court derives its power and authority and where the views of this 76-year-old Californian must be respected.
5. Waiting for the final act
So what's next? In short, the public waits while the justices write.
The members will meet privately later this week in a special conference room -- just the nine of them with no clerks, staff or reporters allowed.
There, the court is expected to vote -- at least preliminarily -- on the two same-sex marriage appeals. Opinion writing will commence, endless drafts will be exchanged among chambers and suggestions for changes will come flooding.
Bit by bit, the makings of legal opinion take shape. Justices are free to change their mind midstream -- and they do. Witness Roberts last year during the challenge to the health care reform law championed by Obama. Government sources confirm Roberts switched sides several weeks after an initial vote and was the controlling vote to uphold Obamacare.
The internal drama will play out over the next three months, unseen by the public. The court's high profile will re-emerge when their ruling is issued, but the guessing game has already begun.

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Picture portfolio or not inflation ready that's the latest warning at least from the bond king Bill Gross he is calling for investors to target bonds.
In the five year range but is that the right call let's get Zain Brown's take he's director fixed income at -- -- it.
They welcome back initially we left avenue a case of the job scenario has a lot of people hoping for more fed easing which obviously dilutes the dollar rates continue to be low.
What do you think about the latest threat of inflation.
Well -- really don't think we have great deal to worry about in terms of inflation certainly we don't have anything in the way of wage inflation with our level of unemployment and global levels.
Of unemployment you just citing Europe and elsewhere.
So the real concern might be monetary inflation but if you look at monetary inflation -- -- that that is created this big blob of money.
But it's not out there chasing goods and services that would be inflation it's out there sitting in the banks and the Fed is hoping.
That banks have enough confidence to finally lend that money only recently have we started to see banks lend that money.
Only when they start lending -- much more aggressively.
Are we likely to get the monetary inflation that people fear so our perspective is inflation's not a problem now not likely to be a problem anytime soon.
So what do you think -- Bill Gross is recommendation this is one he's had for awhile now stick with maturities out to five years and -- guys like that Jeff slacker right.
Urging he's known to be -- obviously saying hey you know making sooner rather than later raise rates.
Well I think that we'll probably sooner rather on later we may need to raise rates -- giving your.
Your point a little bit earlier that.
No -- hate things are seemingly do reasonably well but I think you know going up to five years is very safe bet before you don't wanna buy five year treasuries right you're locking in a negative return.
After you consider inflation it is who want ten years but I think the area to focus on might be the five to ten year area but -- -- corporate bonds and maybe even lower quality corporate bonds.
Whose companies are really likely to do very well if we get a repeat of what we had the first quarter -- -- two and a half percent growth.
We get that kind of chugging along every quarter this year those companies are gonna do just fine -- maybe it's not enough to push up the stock price but.
It's plenty for them to pay off their debt.
And I think those higher yields of lower quality investment grade or even below investment grade corporate debt.
Are likely to perform much better buoyed treasuries he -- the five year treasuries that may have been her.
Yet we showed our viewers a fighter yield point 83% so we talk about outpace you know I think yeah I can't let that reaction.
That BankAmerica Merrill Lynch report last month for the first time since 2008 I believe fixed income products.
Showed a gain.
Whereas stocks were down.
Going on -- meet at the bond there is just -- to get it right.
Well it does seem like they are overreacting to maybe the wrong kind of information.
But certainly last last month we did see an improvement in treasuries.
Whereas the first quarter we really saw much better performance out of what I talked about earlier.
Corporate bonds we really think the rest of the year is gonna be characterized by.
No decent levels of growth this recent fear of maybe going back into recession and then and therefore buying treasury securities.
We think that's rather misplaced we had the same -- year ago.
And this year were much better off more people are employed initial unemployment claims are dramatically lower than what they war.
And as we look forward no oil is much less of a problem than what it was a year ago so I think the things that concerned -- last year the might push us back into recession.
Really aren't in evidence we just get one or two odd numbers it seemed to indicate a slowdown right I think investors overreact they end up getting involved in treasury securities.
We think there's actually some risk there and actually more safety.
In lower quality.
Higher yielding debt.
-- -- We got it thanks -- see again soon.

Heart Disease and the Echocardiogram
What Happens During the Echocardiogram?
During an echocardiogram, you will be given a hospital gown to wear. You will be asked to remove your clothing from the waist up. A cardiac sonographer will place three electrodes (small, flat, sticky patches) on your chest. The electrodes are attached to an electrocardiograph monitor (ECG or EKG) that charts your heart's electrical activity.
The sonographer will ask you to lie on your left side on an exam table. He or she will place a wand (called a sound-wave transducer) on several areas of your chest. The wand will have a small amount of gel on the end, which will not harm your skin. The gel is used to help produce clearer pictures.
Sounds are part of the Doppler signal. You may or may not hear the sounds during the test. You may be asked to change positions several times during the exam in order for the sonographer to take pictures of different areas of your heart. You may also be asked to hold your breath at times during the exam.
You should feel no major discomfort during the test, although you may feel coolness from the gel on the transducer and a slight pressure of the transducer on your chest.
The test will take about 40 minutes. After the test, you can get dressed and go about your daily activities. Your doctor will discuss the test results with you.
What Should I Do to Prepare for a Stress Echocardiogram?
If you are scheduled for a dobutamine stress echo AND you have a pacemaker, please contact your doctor for specific instructions. Your device may need to be checked before the test.
On the day of the stress echocardiogram, do not eat or drink anything except water for four hours before the test. Do not drink or eat caffeinated products (cola, chocolate, coffee, tea) for 24 hours before the test. Caffeine will interfere with the results of your test. Do not take any over-the-counter medications that contain caffeine for 24 hours before the test. Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse if you have questions about medications that may contain caffeine.
Do not take the following heart medications for 24 hours before your test unless your doctor tells you otherwise, or unless the medication is needed to treat chest discomfort:
- Beta-blockers (for example, Tenormin, Lopressor, Toprol, or Inderal)
- Isosorbide dinitrate (for example, Isordil, Sorbitrate)
- Isosorbide mononitrate (for example, Ismo, Indur, Monoket)
- Nitroglycerin (for example, Deponit, Nitrostat, Nitropatches)
Your doctor may also ask you to stop taking other heart medications on the day of your test. If you have any questions about your medications, ask your doctor. Do not discontinue any medication without first talking with your doctor.
If you use an inhaler for your breathing, please bring it with you.

a symptom of the sanitization of the pve game. the only difference is that gw2 is more action oriented so there is less time to type. the desocialization isnt limited to gw2 and has nothing to do with the trinity or lack of it. I have to be honest with you. We have completely blown up the design of EverQuest Next. For the last year and a half we have been working on something we are not ready to show. Why did we blow up the design? The design was evolutionary. It was EverQuest III. It was something that was slightly better than what had come before it. It was slightly better.What we are building is something that we will be very proud to call EverQuest. It will be the largest sandbox-style MMO ever designed.--Smed |
Originally posted by Lathial So, wait you've not even TRIED the most social part of ANY MMO yet? You've not even tried to join a group of like-minded players and yet you are here saying the game is not "group friendly?" Your admission makes all your points invalid and only serves to strengthen your detractors. YOU CHOSE to avoid this aspect of the game and are complaining that the game is somehow responsible for this? That is...just...amazing. Wait?!?! What?!?! You are seriously saying that the GAME was developed incorrectly because PEOPLE have CHOSEN to go to level 80 without grouping or guilding? Tell me you are not serious. Are you suggesting the game FORCE you to group or guild along the leveling path? Kind of like having to buy those tomes to put more points in your trait lines? Should there be a "join a guild requirement" to get past level 30 or something? <shakes head empathically> I think my time in this thread is done as your assertions CLEARLY demonstrate you are unwilling to see past your own choices. I wish you luck in this game that you really like. Take care! Lythe |
Originally posted by LytheEmber Wow, lol fail. OK first off, I have guilded a few times but the people were not my age / interests- like I said I will find one im sure of it. Personally, im a little older - been playing MMO's since before UO... so I dont like the kiddy kewl guilds. You are over reacting a little. Second, if the poster I was commenting on had no desire / need to group till 80- I do find that a development issue. Dont you? That sounds like a single player game to me... Lath |

Originally posted by Lathial At no level can you play roles. There is no real roles, and thinking there are such is complete crap. Just because you can take more damage doesn't make you a tank, nor if you can heal more make you a healer. So the argument is awful for any level. At level 80 or level 40 you can assume the role of the tank or healer, but that doesn't make them set roles. You can't force mob aggro, nor can you hold it, nor can you fit the roles in any scenario. He used the word, pickup, which doesn't auto mean that he stayed in that role, nor was he able to meet it to a certain extent that it's the games fault that he can't do it. I have an 80 warrior and I build tanky, thus I can pickup tanking for the group for a period of time, but have to back off from it when I take too much damage. Thats the design of this game. |
Not like the trinity is any better. tanks yell at healers for being bad, healers yell at tanks for being bad, dps yell at tanks for being bad, dps yell at healers for being bad, and no one takes responsibility for their own fuckups. Fact is, both have their strengths and weaknesses, and maybe instead of constantly saying we should default back to the old way because it "works", we should be trying to find out how to make the new idea work. |
There are roles and there are plays you can make. Learn to play. Edit : Follow Enigmatus' wise words! ''/\/\'' Posted using Iphone bunni |
Your post is spot on. Things they did well, beautiful zones, I wont call it a gameworld because none of the zones are connected they are all separated by portals which blows the whole gameworld feel to shit. Love the crafting system Love the Trader Love the WvW Hate the telporters, makes the game feel even less like a world, give me a freaking mount for land and flight paths to travel around the gamworld, That means of course making the game SEAMLESS between zones. Love the classes abilities Hate the lack of trinity for all the reasons already mentioned. Overall fun game, but some big design flaws in my opinion that were touted as features. |
Originally posted by Aerowyn If your only level 40, and there are 80 levels, then that means you've only experienced roughly half of the content. I'll take the word of somone who has gotten to 80, presumably experiencing most the content the game has to offer, over someone who isn't halfway there yet.

And it's not the first personal story of someone else who pug'd me that I've been involved with. People do ask. I guess you're doing it wrong. |

But just to be clear and so you dont get all bunched up down there- I will change my coment to: 99.9999% of the content can be zerged or kited. Well, it can't be. There are tons of DEs that can't be soloed. And we all know it. There are lots of mission where people cry and cry and cry because they're too hard to solo. Well, duh, you're supposed to GROUP. You do that by saying "HEY, can I get some help with XYZ?" in map chat. Or hang out at the entrance and when someone comes PM them! Or use 'Say!" And people, surprisingly, will help you! Seriously, people need to stop being wall-flowers and wailing that they have to be social in a social game!!! Really, it is YOUR OWN FAULT if you can't/don't group. ASK. MAKE FRIENDS. JOIN A GUILD. |

More evidence the republicans are really not who the tea baggers thought they were. They are the party of big brother.
Gypsy - and the demmycrats are what your buddy.
They didn't propose this bill, now did they?
This bill has NOTHING to do with Big Government as one of the liberal posters has stated but is about being able to control and defend our great lakes from illegal immigration, weapns of mass destruction and drugs entering our lakes and ports. Anyone who doesn't fundamentally support this bill seems to have their head on backwards or wants ill will placed upon our state and waterways!
This bill, as described, states nothing about probable cause. Does "Suspecting" something constitute probable cause? It appears that the supporters of this bill do not realize that, for many people, their boat is their home and for even more people their boat is their weekend home. Does this bill give any specific recognition to the legality of the Fourth Amendment?

International travel professionals gather to learn about Puerto Plata's tourism offerings
PUERTO PLATA, Dominican Republic, Nov. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Dominican Republic Ministry of Tourism partnered with the tourism industry in Puerto Plata to host the 2nd Annual Discover Puerto Plata Market Place 2013. From Oct. 16 – 18, the Be Live Grand Marien in Costa Dorada welcomed close to 250 travel industry professionals from around the world for the international trade show, during which the North Coast's tourism sector aimed to promote the destination of Puerto Plata.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131101/CG09048)
Featuring nearly 50 miles of sparkling coastline and a rich culture, the enchanting Puerto Plata Province was the country's original tourism hotspot and is making exciting updates to be so once again. With the construction of Carnival Corporation's Amber Cove Cruise Center, renovation of Gregorio Luperon International Airport and an emphasis on the area's endless attraction options, the tourism industry of the North Coast is seeking to put the destination back on traveler's radars. The rebirth of the area's tourism efforts ensures that the city can accommodate the influx in visitors and cater to them with accommodations and a growing list of attractions that appeal to every taste and budget.
"The event showcased one of Dominican Republic's diverse regions to international tour operators, hotels, airlines, and more," said Magaly Toribio, Marketing Advisor for the Dominican Republic Ministry of Tourism. "The lively region is not only a one-of-a-kind playground for adventure sports like kiteboarding, off-roading and waterfall cascading, but it also has five-star hotels, a melting pot of culture and a breathtaking backdrop of mountains and turquoise waters."
Attendees enjoyed accommodations at a variety of the region's resorts, a welcome cocktail reception at Be Live Grand Marien, an evening of dancing and drinks at Brugal, and off-site excursions to visit nearby attractions such as Ocean World Adventure Park, Independence Park, Fort San Felipe, Luperon Museum and more.
