Please help me find the maker of this small glass vase 6 2/3'' high
Thank you
I am a complete novice at SEO but I've been reading a lot and doing my best to get noticed by search engines...especially Google. I was excited to find one of my listing pics on the first page of Google images...until I clicked on it. Instead of taking image searchers to my listing, MY picture take people to the launching page for the Category. My item...that brings a would-be buyer to eBay has been hi-jacked by eBay.
Is this a deliberate misuse of my image by eBay? Or do I need to add some king of meta tag or something to taker buyers to MY listing?
This is my image as it appears in Google Image Search. My listing title appears clearly....100 Handmade etc. but when someone clicks on my image they are taken to the ebay launch page for Blank Gift Tags - http://www.ebay.com/bhp/blank-gift-tags - my listing represented by the picture below doesn't even appear on this page. The results of the image search doesn't mention my store name or offer people a way to navigate to my store. Most of the visible listings for from top rated Chinese sellers and brick & mortar sellers. How is this fair? Can it be fixed? The wind has been taken out of my sail before I even really got started with my store. Advise? Help?
Can you identify a frosted glass basket like this? It has blown glass thorn branch crossed handles (applied) and on each corner of the basket, there is an attached thorn branch bud vase. The square basket has a polished pontil and has an overall alligator-like pattern. The top edge is crimped. There is no signature or mark. Anyone know its origin and age? Also, I'm not sure how to clean it...is it OK to wash it in a tub of soapy water? Thanks for any help.
Good morning everyone
If I've asked before, Dory must be rubbing off... It's costume. but pretty high grade. Stones glued into the clasp aren't something I see every day.
Moving things around in a small storage room on the side of my house and Voila!! there is this painting rolled up & laying on the floor under a desk! I unrolled it and saw 2 of the most beautiful little girls I've ever seen - next to my own daughter! Look at the details in their faces - even the ducks look like a they're a photograph!
At first I thought it was a 'Print on Canvas' because it looked so perfect - and because it had a large piece of saran wrap over the artwork. (I never saw a painting rolled up with saran wrap to protect it; I would think it would trap moisture from humidity, but it didn't seem to hurt it).
But looking at it under a magnifying glass you can see it's a painting (as well as the little marks where the artist went outside the border). What I don't understand is why with something this nice there is no signature! I got info here last week on another unsigned painting that turned out to be a copy of "Lady with a Hat" by Matisse - is this a copy of a famous painting? If so by who?
Could it be by an illustrator like the Saturday Evening Post artist James H Crank's painting I found & posted here last week asking about it - it has the same real life details in their faces as in his painting.
Finally, is it safe to store painted canvases with saran wrap over the art?
As always, I appreciate the help from you guys!
Hi Glassies, I have an unusual UFO or saucer shaped glass paperweight with a beautifully detailed pink flower inside and white feathering around it.
It has a polished bottom and no mark. I don't hope to have it ID'd to an artist, but I have questions. Is the flower a Rose or Wild Rose? The workmanship is wonderful and I'm assuming it's not an Asian import. Before picking it up, I thought it possible that it was real flower in lucite. The petals are distinctive. It also reminds me of a Camellia, but the petals are different.
What is most unusual to me is that on the bottom there are at least 6 little air bubbles at a sharp angle and some are filled in with something dark. It's polished to within a millimeter of the flower stem.
I have no explanation for the air pockets. It's almost like it was made with something sticking out of it. Any ideas?
Good morning everyone.
This was a National Geographic photo of the year (forgot which year!)
Hello Folks. I recently purchased a pair of ceramic Chinese "Fu Dog" (or "Fu Lion") figurines. Each came in a wooden box marked with Chinese characters on the lid. The base of one of the figurines also has an impressed mark of some kind. The figurines stand about 7 1/4" tall and measure approximately 6 1/4" wide. Can anyone assist me with the translation of the marks on the box lid? Or the mark on the underside of the base? Thanks in advance for looking!
Looks similar to a bolo but isn't quite the same. The distance between the pin and one of the "humps" (for want of a better word) is 1/2 inch. The pin would flop forward if something weren't placed between the pin and the humps. It also has an interesting pin mechanism. That little extension prevents the pin from closing further than the clasp. Got any ideas?
Very large @ 18" tall and 9" across at shoulders, moriage and beautiful artwork.Very thick gold detailing. Any idea where this originated, region or manufacturer, part of a motif set? V76
Got a couple bags of jewelry at a flea market yestera\day (oh yeah) and found these faces marked Selro Corp. Thoughts appreciated as always
I got this for .25 at a Garage Sale it is very old - The center looks like wood grain which is unusual. Mark on the bottom says England with a W in a Crecent. Is this a religious wine cup? My best guess. Cup measures 3 1/4" by 1" tall. Thanks for help with maker and what it is.
Does anyone know this jewelry mark?
It looks like AB?
Hello to all. Hope everyone is staying cool! I'm not finding this mark on any of my go to sites. Looks like a T and a C with circle inside large H.
Anyone recognize it? TIA
Hi, I have this old Soldier's Pocket Bible which is dated 1643. I know this is not form 1643 but the date it was first issued. I don't know if this is from WW2 or not. The logo on the front cover almost looks like Civil War but I doubt that. I have searched all over the internet and can't find one like it. Does anyone know the age of this? Thank you for any help!
How to escape the heat.
Good morning everyone

Thanks for taking a look!
Recently purchased a tokidoki-for-lesportsac purse, from limited research I think this might be from 2006 or 2007, but could not find the pattern. It has the little keychain figure (I think called a "Qee").
Purses are not really my thing, so ANY help, keywords, etc. is much, much appreciated. Thanks!
If you bought or plan to buy SilverTowne 1 oz. silver bars. Thousands of buyers
were scammed. Sorry if you were one. CHECK THE REVERSE. CHECK THIS OUT.
Anyone have an idea of what this might be? Its small, 1" x 1/2" and 1/4" thickness.
Or just a squiggle? If it is a signature, does anyone recognize it. It is the only mark on the back of the brooch that might be a signature.
Front of brooch:

I understand there is an expert in Italian Ceramics in this group (from another member who directed me here). He believes this figure is from the 18th Century. I would appreciate any help in identifying the mark and maker. Huge thanks in advance.
Doing this when I remember rather than when I'm supposed to. Please keep the pictures smaller to speed loading, phones and dialup don't like the big ones, and as always no live auctions.
Probably precious metal claw, with rhinestones and synthetic opal.
Dichroic glass. There's a third "stone" on each earring.
Wondering if someone would know the maker of this piece. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
The mark on this swan is a raised four leaf clover. Anyone familiar with the maker?

Is this an Imperial Candlewick Pattern? Both the bowl and the underplate are etched with Hughes Cornflower. Imperial did alot of candlewick for Hughes in the earlier years but I can't seem to find this particular pattern of bowl or plate. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Would appreciate any help identifying who made this tea set and approximately when. All pieces are painted with this same image. I've tried using a couple of the character recognition sites online, to no avail.
I generated a fedex label today home delivery insured going through the motions like I do every day as a top rated vendor, but I am getting an error message after I generated the lavel and also it gives the same error message when i try to reprint it in the correct menu through ebay.

You've got 7 days to bid on this great set
of Armada Ski Poles!!
ARMADA MOTIVE SKI POLES-18mm, 46"-50" Length
Adjustable Grips - Made in Italy
Hope someone can help identify this large pedestal bowl. The underside of the base indicates it was made in Italy- Marking shows three lines of Italy- Numbered 1496/641 with another number of 525 or possibly 523. This is a large bowl that measures 10" x 6.75" H The inside of the bowl has a large gold leaf pattern and all around the outside is alterating gold and white. The rim is outline in gold finish with small raised dots. Would like to know if anyone recognizes the pattern, the maker or the era. I am at a loss so any information or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Could someone please tell me what kind of razor this is, is it a safety razor? And any idea what era? Any help greatly appreciated.
I am so not a linens person so I would really appreciate some help with ids on these tablecloths..Thanks
Is this piece made by Laurel Burch? It is not signed and I found one similar by her. The tag reads New York Gold Dust and does not help me in my searches. Any ideas?
On the main page or from any search there are no pictures show, just blank white boxes.
There isn't even a loading circle.
i recently purchase this clock at n estate sale. The clock does read Westclox on the face, however it easily slides out and I just get the feeling that it was not the original piece inside of the clock. The clock is wired poorly for electric and just does not appear to be a proper fit. Does anyone know anything about this clock? I am more interested in the body - I am a little crazy for anything Art Deco /Nouveau. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Any knowledge on this piece? Maker? Age? Thank you so very much!
Does anyone know what game this is for. It has metal chips, thought it might be backgammon but no board and there is cards, any help greatly appreciated.
I was told by the antique dealer when I bought them that these two small figurines are made of wood. But something tells me they are made of something else. I'm hoping somebody will recognize the material by seeing close-ups. I'm also interested in any input you may have on their history. Thanks to anyone that can help!
My observations: There is a vertical mold line down the middle of each figurine. The coloring is either ink or paint and will come off easily when scratched. The bottoms look like a composite to me, but not the new kind. There are vertical hash marks on everything but the heads.
I have lots of photos just in case one helps more than another. Please tell me if you want me to email them to you.
This beauty wa my find of the day today at my local thrift store! I thought it was a fly fishing basket, but another regular there said it was a picnic basket not as collectible because it was made in America instead of England.
Is it a picnic basket? Can anyone tell the maker by the 1/2 label (any good memories remember it?!)?
As always, I appreciate your help.
Hi Everyone,

Hi All,
I have an 18k gold bracelet that is marked "18K EU". I am trying to find out who the maker is. Anybody know what EU stands for?
The bracelet is 72.8 grams of solid 18k. It is extremely well made and the clasp completely blends in with the rest of the bracelet.
So can i just say buyer wants to cancel are can't ship to address and not get a defect ? I google his name and it's in the obltuary I don't want to open a unpaid on a dead person.
This is a first on all my years of ebay. Someone bought a piece of Indian pottery from me. I packed it in airbags, then padded with bubble paper and styrofoam, and sent in a large enough box so that there was plenty of room surrounding the item. I sent it priority to cut down on the number of days in the mail stream. I even refunded $1.50 in postage to pass along some of my savings (of course, this went without any acknoiwledgment). I always check delivery and saw that it had been received.
My husband and I went on vacation, and when I got back (about 12 days after the item was fist mailed), the person retrieving my mail had put the package with my other mail. I looked and the package had "Refusd" written on the top. I opened the package and there was the indian pot, as packed and unbroken. I wrote the seller asking- what happened, since I hadn't a clue from any communications that it was headed back my way. Got back a bizarre reply: "The shipping box was pretty beat up. Look like the pot could be damaged! Was advised to return." Now, there were dents on the box, but some of these were pre-existing because I recycle, and there were no deep or penetrating impacts. And the item was not broken when returned to me. I went ahead and refunded the amount of the item, but told him that because he had made the choice to refuse the shipment, that I could not refund shipping since I had fulfilled my obligation in delivering it to his address. He wrote back to thank me for the item refund, but then said "I don't think I should have to pay the shipping as the box was really not in good condition and the item could have been damaged." Then told me he still wants the item (no offer to pay postage). I wrote back and explained that he would have had a full refund if he had opened the item and it was broken, and that US postal insurance would have covered it, but that it was his choice not to do that and I should not have to bear the cost of postage out of my own pocket. I have now received an email that what goes around comes around and that a "good positive rating is always good for the seller." He then tells me he always takes care of the buyer no matter what the issue might be. (This is an interesting comment, since he has NO feedback left for him as a seller and does not appear to sell on eBay). He threatens to contact paypal and ebay, and I have assured him that they will likely listen to me too.
At this point, even if he offered extra postage to resend, I wouldn't. It sort of falls within the zone of "fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." I predict that if I were stupid enough to remail it, then he would comb the item for the least little item and take the position that a full refund was in order for something "undisclosed." Wish I had waited to leave feedback but I generally do it once an item is received.
I was hoping to bid on an auction set for tomorrow morning. There were already 7 bids. Today I see the seller shows the listing as "Ended with 0 Bids." The seller has decided not to sell, and ended the auction a day early. I was under the impression that the seller had to go through with an auction, just as a buyer must pay when they win an auction.
Should I report this activity, and how do I do that?
I looked at the seller's feedback--it is 100% positive, but almost all of it is as a buyer.
Rarely do I buy anything, I am a seller (small at that of 4 years). First time in the community so I'm not sure how it works but will figure it out. I purchased a couple items back in May a month later still never received them. I had already opened a resolution paid not received and of course Ebay refunded my money.
This seller harrassed me to no end, offering me anything in the world, just to remove 2 (only factual negative feedbacks). Ebay limited his selling (may have closed that account). What I want to know is this: that was a total nightmare to figure out!
Now he has two totally different names, 4 shipping from addresses (only show on tracking) listings show totally different states and location of items. He now has opened another account (now with screen name history as normal on a profile).
I wouldnt normally mess with someone like this (as lets just say I know whats going on ""NOW) Ebay has pretty much closed his accounts but keeps opening new ones, different names, addresses, listing located at, then tracking label printed - nothing ever ships.
Is it within policy for listings to show a location (as in a totally different far away state) but them label printed (in another totally far away state) Make is 4 states. Two different names, different screen names. The person came close to threating me so I reported it to Ebay and they took over from there.
My question is: Can you have listings (lots) showing the item in located in various states, but labels printed in other states, and by two different names?
TX I do not want this to happen again.
And I am not even sure where to find comments to this????
I was in the fine jewelry industry 23 years and I'm also a gemologist with technical expertise on stones, metals, labor and fabrication cost. I had been on Ebay before and listed a few modest value items not wanting to list my better pieces right away by testing the waters. I last month listed 20 items a few of those were better jewelry pieces. I've sold a few this month but notice paypal and ebay fees are taking a big bite . I'm seriously concidering not relisting or new listing my best expensive jewelry. I'm getting ridiculous lowball offers even on signed and designer items. I'm not desperate and the quality of buyer is bottom feeder types. I know finding a bargain is great but when I take the time and research to list my items against exact item listings and still get lowballed it's time to look at other selling avenues.
I know I'm impatient, but is it really too much to expect more than 2 views on my listings? Are people just not buying? Is anyone home, eBay? LOL. I'm about ready to pull the plug. I've marked things as low as possible just trying to clear some stuff out (so I can get new stuff)... UGH.
An item I'm following was sold for $1000 which is more than 2x the typical high sale (it was a live auction). When I looekd into it I saw it was just one bidder and he bid himself from $200 up to $1000!? How/why? Is he just new and panicked?
Twelve Chinese Porcelain Red Mansion Plates Lot 263
Item: 291790804945
This one has me concerned. I am an infrequent seller but inherited a bunch of coins I need to sell. I listed an expensive gold coin set as an auction (starting bid $2,700) with a Buy it Now of $3,510. Auction ran ten days, no bids. I relisted the item same way but with a $100 lower starting price. Almost immediately I get the "sold" email, from a bidder who has 0 feedback and who joined eBay the same day, July 23, 2016. He used buy it now when he could (if he was following the listing) have purchased it as an auction, given that there were no bids the first time.
Couple of other screwy things: he provided a street shipping address, to Illinois, and a cell phone number that is in North Carolina. He also wants more pictures of the set, but the listing already had pics of each coin's front as well as the front and back of the set (what other pictures could there be, other that the back side?).
I have not yet invoiced him. Your opinion - any reason to be concerned?
I wrote to seller because of sent item was damaged. (S)he promised that (s)he will send a new item without resend damaged item.
I waiting two month ago but nothing send to me...
How can I foward whole emails to ebay solution center bacuase of I'm out of 30 days protection.
Buyer had a buyer's remorse (I guess) but just refused the package. I just got it back. Zero communication - didn't send a msg saying he/she isn't interested anymore and didn't open a return request (which would have been approved automatically) - what am I supposed to do?
Never happend to me before.
It's been a while since I've listed anything for sale and I noticed a big difference in the procedure. One thing I don't see anymore is the "require immediate payment" on a buy it now offer. Is that no longer an option?
Buyer bought 2 items separately and I want to ship together, but ebay shows no way to print only one label. Anyone know how?
Why would I have to offer 30 day returns on home decor and glassware to become top rated? 14 days is fair. I'm not selling gifts.
And why is the shipping listing section ( auction) not updated yet? If I add free shipping common sense tells me
the minium ( suggested price thingy should adjust.( Example Glass Bowl Fenton . Thingy suggests start bid at $ 6.95.
I have selected free shipping so it should idealy add that projected cost then calculate starting bid suggestion to include that rate.
Listings engines dont post if if I dont use the suggested values as a new seler or it seems to me. I like offering free shipping every time with auction
because I sell vintage not new. Can the ebay team develope an adjust free shipping feature into starting bid price so the items will fit the
systems average price of sold items. It is logical right? Just a freindly suggestion for the developers. Because the price thingy is a turn off
to new sellers when it does not adjust free shipping into the senerio. In fact it freaks some new sellers away from selling here. Its a scare feature
if you are learning how to list and price the way it is now. Want more sellers? Start there. Im experienced so I work around it but it should be updated to match eBays updated policies. Thanks. Good idea ? Or not?
I gave the item information to the buyer by txting and giving photos. Buyer was happy and left me a positive feedback. But on Paypal the payment is still pending, I couldn't provide shipping labels and stuffs. I am a bit worried that the buyer may try to get the money back by saying the item has not been received or any other reasons...
I recently purchased an item on Ebay paying with PAYPAL.Shortly after purchase was paid, vendor contacted me DIRECTLY saying he would ship item as soon as I sent Credit Card info to pay for it. I informed him payment had already been made through PP. (VIOLATION: Contacting buyers directly and not through Ebay messaging). I have not heard ANYTHING back from him.
Shortly after his email, I checked my PP and my Credit Card for this transaction: Both had been billed. I returned to Ebay to check on my purchase to find 'the item was no longer available' and that the Seller was no longer listed with EBAY. It has been a week and neither my Credit Card nor PayPal has been refunded.
I have spent HOURS trying to contact EBAY directly, with no success due to needing the above information to jump through their many hoops. I still can't reach them. I'm not a happy camper at the moment! lol
Any suggestions please?
Thank you!
Can multiple purchases that are paid for individually be combined? A single buyer purchased 3 items and paid for them individually...how can I combine them in order to offer this buyer a shipping discount?

So a buyer recently won an auction for a laptop I am selling. He says he got a payment error and paypal told him he needs to get my email address and wants me to start corresponding with him through his phone number. This buyer also created his account on the day the auction was going to end. How should I proceed, I have already verified my paypal account works. Why would he needmy email address in order to pay?
Thank you

How do I can cancel my ebay store? Where do I go?
Turbo Lister will not restore any items/listings within any backup file (there are several that should contain the listings I desire) after the items/listings were accidently deleted (along with the folder that they were in) in one Turbo Lister session. These items/listing were in an unsold folder, other items in other folders restore as normal.
What I tried: Unistalling and reinstalling TL. Installing TL on another computer and attempting to restore database from thumb drive. Renaming backup files (so that my username isn't part of the filename), I've tried restoring from an external backup hard drive.
Note that during the restore process, a window appears tha says: Processing for (my username). This doesn't happen during a normal, sucessfull restore.
Any ideas?
If a bidder has 48 bid retractions in 12 months, is that a bad sign?
I need help identifying a Japanese soft vinyl monster figure--Sofubi Kaiju. It stands about 5" high. It is mostly black with hand painted red, white, gray and silver accents. It stands on two legs, each having a 4-toed foot. The torso and head consist of a giant bloodshot eyeball being held by 5 large talons (the back of the hand the talons are attached to is modeled on the back). The bottom of one foot is incised: JAPAN and the bottom of the other is incised with Japanese writing and UMMIKKO (I think that is the name of the designer/maker of the figure). I want to list this item but don't know 1) the name of the figure and 2) what it might be worth. Thanking you so much for your time.
My buyer would like to return an item. Do they need to send me a special form requesting a refund? They have only sent me a message through ebay.
I would like to send them a return label but have been unable to do so. My seller dashboard does not show any return requests.
Help, if you can.
Is it smarter to list fewer items for sale? It seems that the items at the bottom don't get any attention but when they start to move up due to date they then begin to get watchers. Just curious - should I just list all my items and keep them up for whatever amount of time it takes to sell them (relisting) or take some off?
I recently had a buyer leave positive feedback "Great doing business with!!!!". Thing is they dinged my DSR. It was for the "item as described" category. Why leave positive, if not happy? (not complaining, just wondering). FWIW, buyer never contacted me. Should I just go ahead and block them? My gut says YES.
I have another account that I want to link with this account. I cant find the place to do it.
Hi! Just opened a new selling account in addition to my store which has TRS status. Since I obviously have 0 feedback on the new account, is it ok to mention somewhere in my listings about my selling history. I am afraid my 0 feedback might scare off potential buyers. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!!!
You guys recently helped me with my response to a package that took a tour of the USA on its way to a buyer. BTW it got there, late, but the buyer was never worried about it and was very nice. Now a book sent by media mail has been sent to the wrong city and then to a mail recovery center, according to the tracking. It has been 10 days, not business days. I filled out a search request with USPS but haven't heard anything yet and haven't heard from the buyer either. I know some of you will say wait for the buyer to contact me. I don't know why he/she hasn't. On my seling accounts I really pride myself on getting things shipped next day and sometimes same day and when things go right with USPS people get their stuff in 2-4 days even in Hawaii. This is just frustrating to me and I feel guilty for failing my buyer.
So a few days ago I bought a product for a price I was pretty happy with. Fairly soon after I accepted a decent price from the seller he sent me this message
'Okay well my eBay has been having problems recently. If you can cancel your payment and send it to my new email on PayPal because my old email is linked to my eBay account. Since eBay doesn't allow emails to be sent over message. I'll text you my email. (Phone number). Thank you and I apologize for the inconvenience"
I told the seller I wasn't comfortable with making a transaction outside of eBay which he said was fine but told me shipping would take a while. I was okay with this and intended to pay normally but after the 5 or so times PayPal denied my payment mostly from a credit card the seller opened an unpaid item dispute.
My questions are who's PayPal was not allowing the payment to process? And How should I go about resolving this situation? I was thinking of using someone else's credit card and paying them back after but I don't know if that would go through. I need help.

text: Magazine (k)Plans | Published in February 2011 Frame of Reference Effective fee disclosure means sponsors must think beyond regs By Judy Ward | February 2011 Page 1 of 3 View Full Article Illustration by Christopher Silas Neal Participants often pay little or no attention to fees, despite the major impact fees ultimately can have on their income in retirement, says Brigitte Madrian, Aetna Professor of Public Policy and Corporate Management at the Harvard Kennedy School. "Fees are not particularly visible. It is not like when you go to a grocery store and there is a tag on the shelf," she says. "You kind of have to hunt for the fees; it is like going to the doctor and finding out what the fees there are. It is not what people are used to thinking about."Most participants "do not realize they are paying fund expenses, let alone administrative expenses," says Pamela Hess, Director of Retirement Research at consultant Aon Hewitt. "The vast bulk of people have no idea that there are any fees associated with the plan." That could change soon, as the U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) announced new disclosure regulations in October. The regs, which apply to plans starting January 2012, would require sponsors to give participants information in their quarterly statements on the administrative and investment fees they paid.However, most participants do not know what to make of fee data, sources say. The DoL regs will provide some information, "but that is still a fairly modest requirement," Hess says. For fee disclosure to have its intended impact, employers need to think beyond the regu- latory requirements, to the behavioral-economics aspects that affect participants. Here are three elements experts stress:Not understanding the basics.Richard Kopcke's daughter recently asked him to evaluate her 401(k) investment options, and even the research economist at the Center for Retirement Research (CRR) at Boston College had trouble finding all the fee information he needed. Most 401(k) plans currently "do not report their fees in a convenient manner," according to a February 2009 research paper he co-authored, "The Structure of 401(k) Fees." They can be hard to find on participant Web sites, he said in an interview, and they get expressed as percentages that most people cannot translate into a dollars-and-cents impact on their retirement income.Most participants do not understand the financial basics that would allow them to effectively use fee information disclosed to them, sources say. For one thing, they do not understand compounding, says Jeffrey Brown, a Finance Professor at the University of Illinois. "Studies have shown that only one in five people is capable of computing compound interest when it is presented simply," he says. "Even a difference of 20 or 30 basis points, if compounded over 30 or 40 years, can make an enormous difference. but it does not feel that way to them. They look at it and it seems trivial."

A bulldozer driver is lucky to be alive after his vehicle
rolled 200m down a hill in Wairarapa this morning.
Life Flight sent a Wellington Free Ambulance paramedic
onboard the Westpac Rescue Helicopter to the accident, on a
farm northwest of Castle Point.
"On our arrival we found a man being looked after by his
co-workers after his bulldozer rolled approximately 200m down
a hill, landing upright" said flight crewman Dave Greenberg.
"Luckily the guy did not get thrown out of the bulldozer cab
on the way down."
The Wairarapa man, believed to be in his 50s, was taken to
Wellington Hospital with multiple injuries, none of which
were life-threatening.

Who can interpret chest X-rays?
Many doctors are trained to interpret chest X-rays. In addition to radiologists, who have special training in reading all radiology films, primary care physicians, internists, pediatricians, emergency room doctors, anesthesiologists, heart doctors (cardiologist), lung doctors (pulmonologist) and lung surgeons are the doctors who frequently interpret chest X-rays as a part of their routine practice.
What can be seen on a normal chest X-ray?
Normal chest X-ray shows normal size and shape of the chest wall and the main structures in the chest.
As described earlier, white shadows on the chest X-ray signify solid structures and fluids such as, bone of the rib cage, vertebrae, heart, aorta, and bones of the shoulders. The dark background on the chest X-rays represents air filled lungs. These lung fields are seen on either side of the heart and the vertebrae located in the center of the film.
What are some common chest X-ray abnormalities?
Chest X-ray is generally used in combination with other clinical data such as, physical examination and the patient's history and symptoms. It can also be used in combination of other radiology test to support, confirm, or exclude many conditions or diagnoses.
A chest X-ray can be used to define abnormalities of the lungs such as excessive fluid (fluid overload or pulmonary edema) fluid around the lung (pleural effusion), pneumonia, bronchitis, asthma, cysts, and cancers. Heart abnormalities, including fluid around the heart (pericardial effusion), an enlarged heart (cardiomegaly), heart failure, or abnormal anatomy of the heart can be revealed on the films. Certain bony structures of the chest and broken bones (rib fracture) or abnormalities of the bones of the spine (vertebral fracture) in the chest can often be detected.

High-yield reward checking accounts are a little-known option for earning a better return on your cash, but you have to meet the requirements.
Typically, you're looking at electronic statements, having either direct deposit or making online bill payments, and 10 debit card transactions per month.
Now, these higher returns are paid up to a certain limit, known as the balance cap, typically $25,000.
The idea is, you want to keep as much of your cash in there to maximize your interest earnings, staying as close to that cap as you can.
Any month in which you don't meet the requirements, well, you're not going to earn that high yield.
Now, the places where you're typically going to find these high-yield reward checking accounts are smaller community banks and credit unions.
Now, all of these community banks and credit unions that are in the Bankrate.com survey are federally insured. So, your money is just as safe there as it would be at any other financial institution.

Captive Queen: A Novel of Eleanor of Aquitaine (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Nearing her thirtieth birthday, Eleanor of Aquitaine has spent the past dozen frustrating years as wife to the pious King Louis VII of France. But when Henry of Anjou, the young and dynamic future king of England, arrives at the French court, he and the seductive Eleanor experience a mutual passion powerful enough to ignite the world. Indeed, after the annulment of Eleanor's marriage to Louis and her remarriage to Henry, the union of this royal couple creates a vast empire that stretches from the Scottish border to the Pyrenees and marks the beginning of the celebrated Plantagenet dynasty. But Henry and Eleanor's marriage, charged with physical heat, begins a fiery downward spiral marred by power struggles and bitter betrayals. Amid the rivalries and infidelities, the couple's rebellious sons grow impatient for power, and the scene is set for a vicious and tragic conflict that will threaten to engulf them all.

Peru's Produce Exports May Rise Threefold in 10 Years
Peru may increase annual agricultural produce exports to as much as $10 billion within 10 years, from $3 billion this year, said Jose Chlimper, chief executive officer of Corporacion Drokasa SA, Peru's top asparagus exporter and largest pharmaceutical group.
Growing demand in emerging markets including China, Vietnam and Russia may allow Peru to more than triple exports of fruit and vegetables by 2020, Chlimper, a former agriculture minister and a director of the central bank since 2006, told reporters in Lima today.
The Andean country must improve its roads, seaports and airports to reduce bottlenecks currently hindering exports and limiting growth in sales of products including asparagus, mangoes, citrus and potatoes, Chlimper said.
"As long as the world grows at 4 percent to 5 percent, there'll be demand for Peruvian products," Chlimper said. "We haven't advanced in infrastructure in the past decade. We're playing musical chairs at the airport and there are bottlenecks at the ports."
Peru's agricultural industry directly employs more than 1 million people and together with manufacturing accounts for 22 percent of the country's exports, he said.
Chinese demand for fruit, fresh fish and wood products will help boost Peruvian exports 17 percent to $31.6 billion this year after last year's 15 percent decline, Juan Carlos Mathews, export director at the government's trade promotion agency Promperu, said in a Sept. 8 interview.
The sol was little changed at 2.8255 per dollar at 3:04 p.m. New York time from 2.8265 yesterday.

Great image!!!
After nearly being sunburnt not too long ago, this place looks nice and refreshing.
The snow doesn't beware you from getting sunburnt. It is summer and the sun is strong, the altitude of the location makes it even more agressive.
Still, a lot of that scenery is a lot like Montana here. I'm surrounded by the Rocky Mountains.
What is it about snow and mountains...two natural features that just takes your breath away. Great light in this one. Love your works - the tourist board should be commissioning you at this stage, as you're a great ambassador for your country. Will visit someday....perhaps, in winter...
Thank you. Maybe it is the fascination to walk in two hours from a hot summerday into deepest winter.
nice pictures mate,I was wondering if you take any kind of Requests? If yes will be great idea if you find any old paths or roads inside the forest or similar to that.I like this kind of photos
Hehe. I will think of you when I'm in the woods the next time. Maybe there's something in my stockpackages for you in the meantime.

Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) are adult onset neurodegenerative disorders characterised by prominent intracellular α-synuclein aggregates (α-synucleinopathies). The glial contribution to neurodegeneration in α-synucleinopathies was largely underestimated until recently. However, brains of PD and DLB patients exhibit not only neuronal inclusions such as Lewy bodies or Lewy neurites but also glial α-synuclein aggregates. Accumulating experimental evidence in PD models suggests that astrogliosis and microgliosis act as important mediators of neurodegeneration playing a pivotal role in both disease initiation and progression. In MSA, oligodendrocytes are intriguingly affected by aberrant cytoplasmic accumulation of α-synuclein (glial cytoplasmic inclusions, Papp-Lantos bodies). Converging evidence from human postmortem studies and transgenic MSA models suggests that oligodendroglial dysfunction both triggers and exacerbates neuronal degeneration. This review summarises the wide range of responsibilities of astroglia, microglia and oligodendroglia in the healthy brain and the changes in glial function associated with ageing. We then provide a critical analysis of the role of glia in α-synucleinopathies including putative mechanisms promoting a chronically diseased glial microenvironment which can lead to detrimental neuronal changes, including cell loss. Finally, major therapeutic strategies targeting glial pathology in α-synucleinopathies as well as current pitfalls for disease-modification in clinical trials are discussed.

How do I add a custom format to the format drop down menu in Excel 2007? On the Home tab there is a "Number" section that has a format drop down box. Is there a way to customize the formats in that list?
I want to quickly format the cells with commas and zero decimal places. I can't seem to find a way to add that format to the drop down or to the quick access toolbar so it can be set with one click.
The "comma" button on the toolbar sets the accounting format which shows two decimal places. Otherwise that would work for my needs.

Hi everyone!
I wanted to check in on those training for New York and see how things are going. I also wanted to see if anyone has tips that have been valuable or things that have made running more fun or easier. As this is my first marathon, I think I'm getting a little mentally freaked out so I was hoping some of you out there might offer some good tricks for the head.
I hope training is going well for those running. I cannot believe the race is just over two months away...

That is not true at all. Coach Singletary assure the ownership and senior management after the game that we are in excellent shape to win the NFC. His speech was very moving, the ownership and all members of the senior management were totally motivated to prepare for the pending playoff games.

World Agenda
After the chaos of Copenhagen, and the eleventh-hour click accord, the real hard work begins - of moving from the framing of targets, aspirations and commitments to actually putting the agreement into practice. But how ready are the public for what comes next?
Whatever the shortcomings of the deal struck in Denmark, one thing is clear. If the goal of moving to a low carbon world by 2020 is to be met, our societies are going to need to be transformed, and quickly.
And there's a strong case for saying that people are indeed ready for major change. First, most accept there is a grave problem that needs to be addressed - concern about the changing climate is high, and rising.
These conclusions are the result of a click poll commissioned by BBC World Service and conducted by GlobeScan.
Across the 23 countries in which we polled the general public this year, nearly two thirds (64%) on average saw climate change as a 'very serious' problem, and in the 13 countries we've been able to track consistently since 1998, the proportion rating it as very serious has increased from 44% to 63% over that period.
Second, there is a widespread desire for action to address the issue. More than 60% of the global public feel that we need to take 'major steps very soon' to limit carbon emissions.
There was also a consensus in favour of reaching a deal in Copenhagen. Given the choice between an 'ambitious' agreement, a 'moderate and gradual approach' and 'no agreement', only 6% across 23 countries rejected the idea of an agreement.
Third - there is a willingness among the public to contemplate at least some economic pain in order to address the problem.
When we asked how people felt about their governments making significant investments to address climate change - in, for example, renewable energy or public transport - even if the effect of this was to harm the economy, 61% said they supported such investments.
But wait a minute. Even if 64% regard climate change as very serious, that means more than a third do not. Given the degree of alarm and the cataclysmic scenarios expressed by most climate scientists, why aren't we more worried?
The answer, perhaps, has something to do with the complexity of climate change as an issue. Few people are able to make a clear link between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change, even in countries like the UK where the issue is much discussed.
Many still cite increased recycling – an excellent idea, but largely irrelevant to this particular issue – as a good strategy for addressing climate change.
And, when we ask the public to rate the seriousness of different environmental problems, issues like air and water pollution - which can be seen and felt - are still seen as more serious than climate change.
These factors are combined with an academic caution that makes scientists very reluctant to state unequivocally that major catastrophes such as the Asian tsunami or Hurricane Katrina are 'climate change events'.
So, the public can hardly be blamed for thinking that the jury is still out. We found that support for an ambitious approach by governments to Copenhagen (44%) was only slightly ahead of backing for a moderate approach (39%).
The Copenhagen accord may be seen as inadequate by many scientists and activists - but it may well reflect the preference of global popular sentiment.
Public opinion is clearly not hostile to action. If climate change is indeed the greatest crisis the world has ever faced, though, political leaders will need to convince people that it also represents as real a threat to them as the fate of their bank or the loss of their job.
And more importantly, they need to articulate better the benefits of a low carbon economy. As the travel agent's saying goes – sell the beach, not the cost of the flight. The low-carbon beach remains unsold.

Why Don't Cheerleaders With Religious Banners Have To Follow The Same Law As Cheerleaders Who Allege Rape?
Last week, a Texas judge held that cheerleaders at a Texas high school could continue to display banners emblazoned with Bible verses and other religious messages during high school football games, at least for the time being:
A judge stopped an East Texas school district on Thursday from barring cheerleaders from quoting Bible verses on banners at high school football games, saying the policy appears to violate their free-speech rights.
District Judge Steve Thomas granted an injunction requested by the Kountze High School cheerleaders allowing them to continue displaying religious-themed banners pending the outcome of a lawsuit set to go to trial next June 24, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said. Thomas previously granted a temporary restraining order allowing the practice to continue.
As a matter of law, this is almost certainly wrong. As the Supreme Court explained in Santa Fe Independent School Dist. v. Doe, "there is a crucial difference between government speech endorsing religion, which the Establishment Clause forbids, and private speech endorsing religion, which the Free Speech and Free Exercise Clauses protect," and Santa Fe also establishes that student-led prayers can nonetheless be an unconstitutional endorsement of religion. The cheerleaders' banners were displayed at official school events by students speaking on behalf of the school while wearing official school cheerleading uniforms. While there are some subtle differences between the facts in Santa Fe and the cheerleaders' banners, it's hard to imagine that anyone seeing a school's cheerleaders display a religious message at an official school event would not take that to mean that the school is endorsing religion.
And there, is another, even more distressing problem with these cheerleaders' case. In 2010, another Texas cheerleader was sanctioned by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit because she sued after her school required her to cheer for a man who allegedly raped her. The core of the Fifth Circuit's decision was that, in the alleged rape victim's "capacity as cheerleader, [she] served as a mouthpiece through which [her] could disseminate speech namely, support for its athletic teams." So cheerleaders are speaking on their school's behalf while they are cheering, not on their own behalf, and thus can be required to convey the message the school wants.
To be fair, the Fifth Circuit is a federal court, while Judge Thomas is a state judge, so these cases took place in different court systems. Nevertheless, it is difficult to square one decision with the other. At the very least, alleged victims of rape should be able benefit from the exact same laws as everyone else.
