Free College Grant Money
If you think college is out of reach for you, for financial reasons, think again. Millions of students receive free financial help to attend college, every year.
There are thousands of grants, just awaiting applicants and everyone qualifies for one or more of them.
This guide will show you were to look for free college grant money and add some tips on how to apply and what the people in charge of administering these funds are looking for in applicants.
Forget about Student Loans
Student loans are a painful subject for many who received their degrees and then found the job market hard to enter, or wages lower than expected. Payments on the loans that helped them gain their qualifications may become increasingly difficult to repay, especially during the early years of employment.
This money is different from college loans students take out to fund their studies.
There is no need to pay it back and no crippling debt to cast a shadow over your first decade or so of employment.
Advantages in Job Hunting
In the current job hunting atmosphere, it makes sense to get relevant qualifications which will give you an advantage over less well educated applicants.
A college degree listed on job application forms often means you are placed at the top of the pile, since employees typically get so many wanting to fill good positions, they will look at the best qualified, first.
Taking a degree course in a subject that interests you also gives time to explore a chosen career.
Many courses run programs where students can spend time with professionals already working in their chosen fields. If an internship is offered and accepted by the student, this can lead to a job offer at the end of their period of study.
A Flexible Approach to Grant Hunting
Prospective students in need of extra financing for college courses are advised to start research and applications as early as possible, so they do not miss out on grants those quotas are filled up early, and they apply to as many different institutions as possible.
A flexible approach is recommended, because a grant that is not available for a certain subject in one state (say California) may be available two states over (say Colorado). Consider not just the main subject you are interested in, but related courses that may give you a chance to switch over, later on.
Getting Ready for Grant hunting
Free college grant money is not the sole preserve of small bodies of students, but it may assist your case if you fall into one or more of the following categories. Common ways to qualify include previous service in the US armed forces, being part of any minority, such as religious or ethnic, possessing a special talent for sports or any of the arts and committing to specific areas of study.
Grants for Special Needs
The Pell grant for financially challenged students is the most common grant awarded in the U.S. Full details are listed under the section for government grants. The Academic Competitiveness Grant adds up to $1300 extra for students receiving a Pell grant and opting to study certain subjects designated as," critical need," areas.
Illness adds a further strain on student's financial ability to fund college courses. These and many more organizations seek to enable students to attend college who suffer or have suffered the results of serious illness. More details can be obtained by contacting the organizations specific to each disease.
Just a few of the organizations who offer these special circumstance grants are the Meningitis Trust Foundation, the Komen Foundation Awards and the Cancer Survivor's Society.
Grants for Special Categories
Service in the U.S. armed forces by the student or in some cases by their parents qualifies them for many grants. The Illinois Veteran Grant (IVG) offers veterans the chance to attend college and the Military Order of the Purple Heart's award helps support dependants of recipients.
Church membership may offer unexpected benefits if there is a college fund available. Ask your minister to enquire on your behalf. The Aid Association for Lutherans offers aid to members of its church, as does the American Baptist Church National Ministries.
Grants for Special Talents
If you were a leading light in the school band, a star member of the football squad or even a good photographer, there are grants available for college.
Sports scholarships and grants are dealt with by the National Collegiate Athletic Association, but lesser known grants from associations such as the National Strength Conditioning Association and other state-based sports grants are available. Ask your local government office for a list of your home state's grants.
Arts-based grants are offered to artists in many fields, including female painters from Alpha Delta Kappa International Honorary Sorority for Women Educators Fine Arts, film makers from The Carole Fielding Student Grants, videographers from the University Film and Video Association and the Arch and Bruce Brown Foundation for writers.
Math students have many grant options, a few of which include the Raytheon Company's offer to mathematic fans of money towards college if they teach a math team,
Alpha Mu Theta helps talented mathematicians, the American Math Society offer grants at all levels of math studies and the National Science Foundation's aid to combined math and computer science students.
Musicians will find financial aid by competing for grants from them Edgewood College Music Department or electing to study in Hawaii with the Friends of Music at Manoa program.
Photographers are not left out, since the MyParkPhotos.org Foundation and the McKnight Photography Fellowship provide funding for their studies.
Grants for Specific Studies
Grants for very specific subjects are often endowed by benefactors who wish to encourage students in their studies. These include the Caroline and Erwin Swann Foundation- Fellowships for Caricature and Cartoons, the Ruth Simms Hamilton Research Fellowship for African studies, the Nonprofit Sector Research Fund at the Aspen Institute, the Mesoamerican Studies Grants for grants to study Ancient Man and the National Geographic Committee for Research and Exploration in all the subjects their magazine covers.
Industry Sponsored Grants
Company and sector sponsored grants to students ensure a sufficient supply of well qualified future applicants in their area. Some may also offer internships or jobs with the companies who supply financial aid. Major companies run well known schemes, but some smaller ones offer equally useful, and sometimes larger grants, if the subjects are in your area of interest.
The Future Farmers of America supply $2 million dollars a year to students involved in agricultural studies. Future florists find help from the American Floral Endowment Fund.
Theatrical costume students may apply for grants offered by the Costume Society of America's Stella Blum Research and weavers from the Hand Weaver's Guild of America. The National Recreation and Park Association assist students in studies involved in park and recreation management.
Accounting and insurance students find aid from the National Society of Accountants and the State Farm Insurance Company, respectively. Computer studies students have a wide range of grant options, including those from the Electronic Document Systems Foundation and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Student Enterprise Award.
For studies relate to hotel management, the American Hotel and Lodging Educational Foundation helps students through qualifying universities. Future journalists should apply for grants at the American Banking Association, the Ocean Science Journalism Fellowship and the Broadcast Education Association.
State Sponsored Grants
This year, approximately 6,000,000 students will receive college grants from the government. Each state has its own list, based on its colleges and usually viewable on its website, explaining what is offered at which locations.
The largest grant scheme in the U.S. is the Pell grant program, designed to give aid to financially challenged students by partially funding their studies. To qualify, students must fulfill these conditions.
- U.S. citizenship, or U.S. nation, or eligible non citizen status
- Submit a completed Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form demonstrating financial need.
- Poses a social Security number.
- Pass the General Education Development (GED), High School Diploma or approved test.
- Registration with the Selective Service program. (Only for males aged 18 to 25.)
- Promise that the grant will be used exclusively for education.
- Show satisfactory progress in academic subjects.
- Currently study at an approved educational facility.
Applying for the Pell Grant
You will need to assemble all the relevant paper work and required signatures to apply for this grant. Since you may need additional grants to supply the correct amount of aid to attend college, it is suggested you keep copies of all the forms you submit and documents required, in a folder or on your computer. This will facilitate easy completion of any later forms.
The form can be partially completed and saved at any stage of the process, online. Detailed steps and information, covering all aspects of this process are available online.
- Decide as early as possible which schools you will be applying to.
- You do not need to wait for results from your Pell (FAFSA) application to do this.
- Download a free FAFSA guide in PDF form, choosing color or black and white.
- FAFSA accepts applications from January 1St of each year and recommends early filing.
- Once you have the form open, complete it in full, (or partially, and save for a later date), ensuring all the information is correct.
- Inaccurate information may result in a rejection of your application.
- Complete your FAFSA application, listing up to ten schools by codes found in locations in your FAFSA guide.
- Apply to the schools if you have not already done so.
If you find additional schools you would like to apply to, after submitting your FAFSA application, they can be added on requested, and your information will be sent to their admissions sections.
If you are accepted by the Pell program, it will show this information on your FAFSA application to colleges, when you log into it, to check on the progress. When financial aid offers from colleges arrive, you can decide which school offers the best options.
Grants for Women
Since 58% of students applying for places at college in the last 12 months were women, many of whom have families and children to consider when seeking higher education; it seems the grants aimed specifically at encouraging their further studies are not all that disproportionate.
Many of these grants offer women a chance to study in a way uniquely suited to their roles as primary caregivers for children, or to enter areas where they are still in a minority in the workforce, including such subjects as science based courses and those with industrial applications.
A number of private women's colleges offer special grant packages to ensure even severely financially challenged women get a chance to attend college. These may be found through women's organizations, internet searches and by contacting the colleges directly for information packages.
Examples of Grants for Women
Examples of what is available to women are the Soroptomist International of the America's Women's Opportunity Awards, the Kalamazoo Women's Education Coalition grant and the Raise the Nation Program, all offering financial help with non-specific studies.
Amongst programs aimed at women aged 35 and older, who may have missed the first opportunity to attend college, are the Jeanette Rankin Foundation award, the BPW Foundation created the Career Advancement Scholarship Program for women re-entering the workforce and the P.E.O. Program for Continuing Education.
Women's Colleges Offering Grants
The financial aid solutions offered by exclusively female colleges are often more comprehensive than those given by mixed colleges. The following colleges support the higher education of women in various programs.
Spelman College, Atlanta has strong links to the city's African American community and offers substantial financial help to women qualifying by needs, ability or taking a course in a subject they feel elevates the position and increases the respect of women in the workforce.
Agnes Scott College, Atlanta offers its Goizueta Foundation Scholarship to Hispanic students showing leadership qualities, a high academic ability and the need for financial aid.
Wellesley College, Massachusetts uses a large proportion of the funds contributed by its alumni to help fund the studies of students they accept on merit, but also considering a wide number of other factors. Their Davis Scheme gives non traditional students a chance to attend college at bachelor or graduate level.
Barnard College, New York adds to the aid students receive from the government and the list published by the Dean of admissions includes some very valuable grants available to students attending this college.
Nearly half of all students at women's colleges are receiving financial aid which ranges from government FAFSA grants to those from the colleges, themselves. Institutions with a list of generous alumni have made it possible for grants to be given to students with moderate, as well as severe financial handicaps.
These committed workers see themselves as investing in the future of women, training its future academics and athletes side by side in an atmosphere conducive to producing the nation's future leaders.
Tips on Grant Applications
- Applying for grants directly from the school's financial advisor may not cover all your needs; apply to as many sources as necessary to cover your expenses.
- Grant applications often fail because of unclear writing, skipped sections and poor spelling. Writing a grant application is a form of selling, so ensure the product, you, is presented in the best possible light,
- If photos are required for any application, it is worth taking the time to have a new headshot taken and copies made, since first impressions are very important.
- Have a clear idea you can easily communicate to others about why you are choosing the courses of study and what your hopes are for a future career. Enthusiasm for your subject is very appealing, and guarantees a certain amount of dedication to work.
- If you have been working on an application for several hours, get another person to read it back to you, before sending it out. Errors are easily missed, after a long period of work on the same document.
Grants versus Loans
Although it entails more work, pursuing free college grant money means you can leave after the years spent getting your degree with no financial burden, a very good position to be in, for many young professionals find the extra payments a trial at a time they are looking for accommodation, furnishing it and also financing transportation to and from work.
The year after college is also the time many are thinking about marriage, the major expenses incurred in a young person's life, before they consider taking on a mortgage.
A thorough evaluation of all the factors that may entitle you to grant money often turns up some surprising possibilities, and the range of choices is usually directly proportional to the time and effort spent in research. College loans may seem like a quick and easy way to solve financial problems, but after years studying, you will be glad to walk away owing absolutely nothing.

What if the cure is worse than the disease?
In our world of Zoloft commercials, it's become easy to believe that popping a pill will magically end your depression. What happens if those Prozac promises turn out false? What if there is no magic pill for your mental malaise? What if that magic pill makes you worse?
Emily (Rooney Mara: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) is a fragile woman in need of help. She lost her friends, her husband and her accustomed life to an insider-trading scandal. Now that her husband is out of jail, she finds acclimating to a new life of work, struggle and stress to be more than she can handle.
Emily's solution? To drive her car into a brick wall. She survives and agrees to seek help.
Enter Dr. Banks (Jude Law: Rise of the Guardians), a charming psychiatrist who believes in the power of the pill. He starts Emily on an endless series of anti-depressants with middling results. Emily gets sick on one pill, becomes a zombie on the next. Finally, Banks prescribes the perfect pill, Ablixa, which magically makes Emily feel like her old self. Sure, there are some side effects, like somnambulism, but what's the worst that could happen?
Emily's sleepy wanderings become a problem when she wakes up with blood on her hands. But who deserves the blame for this gory side effect: Emily, Dr. Banks or Ablixa?
Side Effects is a thriller from a director who knows how to craft a mystery. Steven Soderbergh (Magic Mike) creates tension while developing interesting characters. The movie's plot is littered with semi-ridiculous twists that would be worthy of an episode of Law and Order if not for Soderbergh's interesting camera work and expert pacing.
The center of the film is Mara as wounded, unraveling Emily. Her impressive performance is the polar opposite of the Lisbeth Salandar role that made her famous. Emily is timid and delicate, her voice barely raising above a whisper. She dips her eyes behind bangs and seems to be living on a razor's edge.
As the obsessive Dr. Banks, Law shines. As his role is examined, his tight grip on his emotions slips. Soon he's downing beer, Red Bull and pills, anything to keep him going while he tries to earn back his life.
Though Soderbergh's movie ultimately twists and turns, the questions the director poses about America's commitment to better living through science are quite interesting. Every person in the film is taking mood-altering substances, whether they're pills, alcohol or energy drinks. Is any adult in the film sober? An examination of ways chemicals have changed the way we work, interact and live would have been fascinating, but it's not as sexy as a murder mystery.
Side Effects isn't a perfect movie. But strong performances and a look inside the prescription drug culture of America make it well worth the watch. It'll make you think twice before you pop your next pill.

All of my previous selves still survive somewhere inside of me, and my previous adolescent would have loved "The Perks of Being a Wallflower." The movie has received glowing reviews, and some snarky ones that seem to have been written by previous adults. The film is about an alienated high-school freshman who sees himself as a chronic outsider, and then is befriended by a group of older kids who embrace their non-conformist status.
The movie confirms one of my convictions: If you are too popular in high school, you may become so fond of the feeling that you never find out who you really are. The film is based on Stephen Chbosky's best-selling young-adult novel, which was published in 1999 and is now on many shelves next to The Catcher in the Rye. It offers the rare pleasure of an author directing his own book, and doing it well. No one who loves the book will complain about the movie, and especially not about its near-ideal casting.
The story, set in the early 1990s, tells the story of Charlie (Logan Lerman), who begins it as a series of letters to a "friend." He enters high school tremulously and without confidence, and is faced on his first day by that great universal freshman crisis: Which table in the lunchroom will they let me sit at? Discouraged at several tables, he's welcomed by two smart and sympathetic seniors.
They are Sam and Patrick, played by Emma Watson in her own coming-of-age role after the "Harry Potter" movies, and Ezra Miller, who was remarkable as an alienated teenager in "We Need to Talk About Kevin." Charlie makes the mistake of assuming they are a couple, and Sam's laughter corrects him; actually, they're half-siblings. Charlie is on the edge of outgrowing his depression and dorkdom, and is eerily likable in his closed-off way. One of the key players in his life is the dead aunt (Melanie Lynskey) he often has imaginary meetings with.
Patrick is tall, gangly and gay; Sam is friendly and lovable. Charlie gets a quick crush on her, but she explains she has a b.f. and encourages his friendship. Through them, he meets the quasi-punk Mary Elizabeth (Mae Whitman), who definitely is interested in dating him, and a pothead named Bob (Adam Hagenbuch), who nudges Charlie toward adventures most teenagers have once in life, and few should have twice.
We learn a lot about their high school crowd by finding out they're instrumental in the local midnight showings of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." When Charlie is unexpectedly pressed into service playing a key role one night during their performance, it provides him with a turning point that may be contrived but is certainly entertaining.
Their crowd is artsy, outsider, non-conformist. They become the influence that rescues Charlie from his deep insecurity and his depression over the suicide of a friend; they teach him it's OK to be who he is. In his first year, he learns a little, very tentatively, about sex, drinking and drugs, and a lot about friendship.
He's also guided by Mr. Anderson (Paul Rudd), his English teacher, who steers him toward seminal books including, yes, The Catcher in the Rye. Why is it that English, drama and music teachers are most often recalled as our mentors and inspirations? Maybe because artists are rarely members of the popular crowd.

Strike back: Wainwright gets win No. 14
Wong belts two solo home runs as Cards stay one back in NL Central
ST. LOUIS -- Manager Mike Matheny arrived on the Busch Stadium mound in a critical seventh-inning spot Thursday not needing to hear a word. He merely went to say a few words, or "a little pep talk," his ace called it afterward.
Matheny didn't ask Adam Wainwright, then having already thrown 116 pitches, to convince him that he was fresh enough to finish off the inning. Matheny had already determined that Wainwright would. This visit was merely for motivation.
"He just poured into me that he believed I was going to get us out of that spot right there," Wainwright said.
Wainwright rose to the occasion, freezing Yoenis Cespedes with the tying runs on base to close the seventh and set the Cardinals up for a 5-2 win over Boston. Kolten Wong paced the offense with his two-homer night to help cap a winning homestand in front of 44,570 at Busch Stadium.
The Cardinals, who scored all of their runs with two outs, remain a game behind the Brewers in a crowded National League Central race.
"This guy impresses me so often -- and times like this, pitches like that, games like this, he just takes it to another level with the way all of us look at him," Matheny said of Wainwright afterward. "He just continues to lead this club."
Wainwright's 122nd and final pitch was his signature one, a 78-mph curve that left Cespedes with nothing to do but tip his cap. After a one-out single and two-out walk prompted Matheny's mound meeting, Cespedes took three straight balls. Wainwright worked the count full with his cutter before closing his night with pizzazz. He pumped his fist as he turned toward the dugout.
"That's a couple weeks of frustration built up there of not making a pitch when I needed to," Wainwright said of the added emotion. "Today was a day I was leaning heavily on [the curveball]. So many times in my career when things aren't going great, that is the pitch that's always been there for me."
"That was the game right there," Matheny added.
Five of Wainwright's seven strikeouts came on the curve.
"I'm pretty sure anybody who got that curve thrown at them would buckle," Wong said of the last one. "It was nasty."
The 122 pitches were a game-high for Wainwright this season, though he did tame the pitch count in the middle innings to give himself the chance to pitch as deep as he did. A 32-pitch third, during which the Red Sox shaved a three-run deficit to one, had Wainwright's count at 66 by the end of the frame.
But he'd get through the next two on 18, that coming during a stretch in which he retired 11 in a row.
"We forced him to make some key pitches with men in scoring position, which he did," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "Overall, you put that many baserunners on base or that number of hits against him, you come away with a little bit of a missed opportunity."
The seven-inning start was also more of the same for the Cardinals, who have had four straight games of that length for the first time since May. That equals the number of seven-inning starts the club had from July 3-30. Seeking to build a rotation that could offer those deep starts with regularity was one of the driving forces behind the Cardinals' pair of non-waiver Trade Deadline moves.
Since then, the Cardinals have had only one start of less than six. It came from Wainwright, too, in what was an outlier of a performance amid an otherwise dominant season. On Thursday, he joined Milwaukee's Wily Peralta as the NL's first 14-game winners. Still, Wainwright wasted no time afterward either, re-watching his outing in the video room to see where improvements can be made.
"I feel like I have a very good plan going forward," Wainwright said. "I'm excited about that."
Support for Wainwright came early, as the Cardinals struck for three first-inning runs off Red Sox starter Brandon Workman. Jhonny Peralta's two-out double, his team-leading 27th of the year, drove home Matt Carpenter and Wong. Oscar Taveras followed by extending his hitting streak to seven with an RBI single.
The offense then went quiet before Wong provided extra cushion. He blasted a solo homer 384 feet in the fifth, then bettered it with a 423-foot blast in the seventh. It was Wong's first multihomer game since college and the first by a Cardinals second baseman since Tyler Greene in 2012.
"It was still a close game at that time," Wong said, "so to give us an extra insurance run was definitely awesome to kind of allow us to ease a little bit."
With Trevor Rosenthal down because of usage concerns, Pat Neshek nailed down the save, his third of the year, to seal a 4-2 homestand for St. Louis.

I really wish I didn't have to say this: Charlie died last night.
No, I wasn't there when it happened. However, I feel pretty certain that he died some time around 8 p.m.
I was pedaling home from work when, all of a sudden, I burst into tears. I was crying so deeply that I could barely see in front of me, much less control my front wheel.
I spotted an ATM I sometimes use, opened the door and wheeled my bike in. I sat in a corner of the vestibule, my tears rolling from my cheeks, down my neck and onto the collar of my jacket. I don't know how long I was there and I don't think anyone came in to use the machines, in spite of its location in the middle of a commercial strip that remains busy well into the night.
When I thought I had my crying under control (a completely unrealistic assumption after my operation and years of taking hormones!), I wheeled out of the vestibule and stepped over the bike's top tube. I rode about two blocks before I saw a tortoiseshell calico in a store window. Even though she looked nothing like Charlie, the faucet was turned on once again. And my legs developed the firmness of tapioca pudding.
Fortunately, there was a subway station only another block away. When a middle-aged woman starts crying on New York City transport, some passengers will look away or pretend not to notice (or, perhaps, will actually not notice), others will give you the widest berth they can, and one or two will give her looks of sympathy. Now, if you're a middle-aged woman with a bike and a helmet dangling from the handlebar, some will react as if a giraffe got on the train, or like Agent Scully from the X-Files.
A Latina who looked about ten years older than me gave me a tissue.
By the time I got home, Charlie was lying on his side, with his rear legs crossed as if he'd taken a tumble. He may very well have done just that: he was lying on a blanket and sheet I used to leave for him on my sofa, and they--and he--were on the floor. I'm guessing that he might have tried to climb on the couch, and when he clawed the sheet or blanket, they slipped off the cushions. I don't know whether that is what killed him, because he didn't look as if he had wounds caused by such a fall. However, as weak as he was, he may have simply not gotten back up.
Anyway...What's the point of playing detective now? He's gone, and I can't stop crying. He's been in my life for six years. Even though I had two other cats, whom I loved dearly, for much longer, I think I developed a bond with him that I have not developed with any other animal. Part of it has to do with the time of my life in which he accompanied me: He came into my home about two years after I started living as Justine, and was with me through all manner of change in my life. And, he curled up by my side, in my lap, or even on my belly when I was lying down, during those days when I was recovering from my surgery.
That he never showed me anything but affection is all the more remarkable when I consider how he came into my life. My friend Millie rescued him from the street. How such a loving--and handsome--cat ended up on the street is one of those mysteries I'd rather not ponder: If someone abandoned him, I don't want to think about the sort of person who would do such a thing.
When I think about that, I think that in my next life, I'd like to have a farm with a bunch of animals, especially cats. When animals attack each other--something Charlie never did, by the way--they are only doing what they are made or hard-wired (or whatever you want to call it) to do. They are not capriciously cruel, they don't maim or kill for fun or profit, and they don't invade other countries whose citizens never harmed them.
After being, possibly, abandoned on the streets, Charlie was always sweet-natured and never wanted anything more than to be fed, stroked, spoken to gently and cuddled. People sometimes come from far more fortunate circumstances and are pointlessly mean and avaricious. Or they simply think only about their own happiness, others be damned.
As I sit and write this, I have my shoulder bag in my lap. It just doesn't feel right.

The Knickerbocker Theatre at Hope College is sponsoring the world premiere of "Finding Diane," a new film by David Schock and his associates, on Monday, March 24, with 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. showings.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
Schock began the film in the fall of 2005 while he was a member of the Hope faculty. As with his murder films - "Who Killed Janet Chandler?" and "Jack in the Box" - Schock invited his then-documentary students to join him in his work. They were involved in the initial interview and some research.
The story of the film revolves around the discovery of an unidentified body. In late March of 2004, Netha Speet went down to her dock on PigeonLake on Michigan's west coast to examine the white thing floating next to it. She hesitated to get too close once she determined it was nothing she'd ever before encountered. The Ottawa County Sheriff's office verified for her it was a woman whose badly decomposed body had floated from somewhere. The forensic pathologist could not specify a cause of death and so the investigators were treating it like a possible homicide under the heading of "Indeterminate" for a cause and manner of death.
"Ottawa County Sheriff Gary Rosema asked for help," said Schock, a former associate professor in the department of communication. "Midway through our story gathering, the body - given the appellation of Diane - was identified as that of Barbara Ann Biehn, formerly of Racine, Wis. She had walked into the freezing waters of Lake Michigan a few days before Christmas 2003 and had floated either across or along the shores of Lake Michigan."
In the 18 months Ottawa County Sheriff officers Det. Dave Blakely and Venus Repper worked to identify her, they involved Michigan State Police reconstructionist Matt Churchill and Det. Dave Eddy in the drive to give her a name and to allow her to go home.
"The case turns out not have been a homicide, but a suicide...a self murder," Schock said. "But the story stands as a testament to the determined work of the officers to give this unknown person back to her family...and to give them answers."
The students in the class included Holly Beckerman, Greg Elizondo, Carolyn Fields, Nick Graves, Leon Hendrix, Travis Hoogendoorn, Debby Li, Sarah Quesada Lubbers, Kristin Rose, Johanna Swanson, and Erin Wickens.
The director of photography is Phil Blauw, who still teaches and serves on staff at HopeCollege. The editor for the 54-minute film is Jeff Gural of Northwind Productions.
Since leaving Hope College in the spring of 2006, Schock has worked as an independent film maker, including working with NBC's "Dateline" on a forthcoming segment about the Janet Chandler murder investigation and trials. He continues murder investigations and has launched the enterprise www.delayedjustice.com. His latest murder project deals with a 70-year-old unsolved homicide, the oldest on the books in Grand Rapids.
The Knickerbocker Theatre is located in downtown Holland at 86 E. Eighth St.

Check out "Important News Update" for the latest info on film permit procedures, location information and drone information.
Welcome to the official site of the State of Hawaii Film Office
In the past Hawaii has been known as "Hollywood's Tropical Backlot" — due in part to high-profile films ranging from South Pacific to Jurassic Park to Fifty First Dates, to Pirates of the Caribbean and television productions like Hawaii Five-0, Magnum P.I., Lost, and The River.
But what more and more filmmakers are finding out is that Hawaii has a lot more to offer than just spectacularly lush tropical settings, fabulous weather, and golden light.
We've got competitive tax incentives, the only state-owned and operated film studio in the country and a growing list of production facilities, an experienced pool of crew and talent, a comprehensive local inventory of state-of-the-art equipment, a well-established one-stop process for state film permits, and a film-friendly government and community.
So, whatever your budget or location requirements, we're ready to roll! To get started, check out our quick guide to Filming in Hawaii, or click on the links above to learn more about shooting here.

Jason Molina writes a world that is largely antiquated, or out there in and amongst the canyons, the western skylines, the empty spaces that time and the masses have cast aside as not exciting enough to pay much mind to. These are the places that are barely surviving, where the population has been decreasing ever since the 1970s or whenever it can be established that the farmers and the ranchers really started to feel the pinch. These are places that outsiders consider as afterthoughts and use only for potty breaks, to buy cigarettes, gas and greasy hamburgers - just enough to carry them on through these sticks to get to the brighter city lights and all of their importance. These spots and these people that Molina writes songs about are destined for little other than dramatic overlooking and restlessness that will slowly seep into their bones, weakening them until they're frail and old, looking back on their times, all of them empty-pocketed. Everything that Molina has made - under his own name, as Songs:Ohia and most recently and regularly as Magnolia Electric Co. - is drenched in warm, sunset winds and the hard-luck, unfortunately and hardly loved gentlemen who have always meant well, always worked their hands raw for an honest wage and still not seen much in the pot at the end of their golden rainbow. Many are still waiting for the sun to come back out to even produce a spectrum that could be followed across the sky. His way with writing the wispy thoughts and the graven hearts of these folks of small town ethics and yes sir, no ma'am manners - the kinds of folks who never make sitting down and eating a home-cooked meal as a family an exception, who raise each other's barns and kids and help each other to get their crops out when the going gets tough - is effortless and smooth. He shapes the plights of the common man with graceful gentility and care, showing them to be intricate beings with the as complex of troubles and emotions as anyone. It's as if we're hearing songs that were written in Nashville in the 50s and 60s, digging into the saddest aspects of love and life that any man would ever have the privilege of dealing with, though he smothers them not with aw shucks humor or faux defiance - as if some effort was being made to defray the pain and sorrow by spinning the story to seem more like a blessing or a valuable lesson learned by a young, foolish hayseed - but with real, salt in the wounds, dirt in the eye rub. It hurts and it hurts really bad. Things got crossed and fucked up and there's a man bleeding, there's a woman torn, there's a woman bleeding, there are dozens of folks disappointed and lost and there are all kinds of even worse things that are going to happen as a consequence. We're not left with a wet and snotty handkerchief though, but rather a shimmering take on what a man or woman does in such circumstances and how their minds work to pull themselves out of the holes that they've more often than not dug for themselves, obliviously taking them deeper and deeper without knowing it. We get these fascinating and literately driven pieces of rustic prose that should be some of the most cherished songs of our generation. Molina sings about the "sorrows that are to come and the sorrows that never were," and he brings so much care and heartfelt appreciation to these wandering souls who lack their definition and their final piece - often a couple of the final pieces. He makes you want to find all of these weary people and try to tell them that there is more inside them than the unfulfilled dreams, there can be more. But then again, these are people who thoughts and aspirations are alight with such beautiful imagery and they have their ways of coping, given to them by Molina - this way of gazing and this way of mining all of the details for their small, if depressing merits. They are people who will think this, "I'll think of the girl with the chestnut eyes and I'll just fade away with a smile/And I'll just fade away to blue," and that's okay. They're okay.

The more people learn more about Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain's "9-9-9" plan, the more questions they have.
One of the bigger ones is how it would affect poorer Americans. We had the chance to put the question to Cain directly during his recent swing through Florida.
"Most people are going to pay less in taxes," Cain, a former pizza chain executive, said Oct. 5, 2011, aboard his campaign bus stopped in St. Petersburg. "Why? Because we're expanding the base."
Cain told us he even worked out the math himself. Someone earning $50,000 a year would pay less in taxes under his 9-9-9 than they do under the current system, he said. Under the current system, a person who earns $50,000 a year "pays about $10,000 in taxes," Cain said. "A big part of that is the payroll tax." Cain then walked us through his 9-9-9 plan and said the same person would "still have $2,000 left over."
"I can't design a system for people who don't want to pay taxes," Cain added. "I can design a system so they can get a job."
Read why a trio of accountants said Cain's math doesn't necessarily add up.

Chain Reaction: Famous Dave's
Reviews of burgers at chain restaurants.
Famous Dave's
5077 South 27th Street, Greenfield WI 53221 (map); 414-727-1940; 191 locations across the US and one in Canada; view all locations at famousdaves.com
The Schtick: Smoked meats and southern-inspired food geared at families and groups. Each table has six sauces and a roll of paper towels
The Burger: Smoked brisket burgers mix brisket into the ground beef. It's not bad but might make you wonder why you didn't just order a less expensive brisket sandwich
Want Fries With That? Thumbs up for the crisp potato wedge fries, or try one of numerous other sides
Price: Devil's Spit burger, $10.99; Ultimate burger, $11.99; BBQ Nachos (small), $5.99; side of mac and cheese, $2.29
I love Famous Dave's Devil's Spit BBQ sauce. It's my preferred sauce from the grocery store whenever I have any type of barbecue at home. It's one of the few commercially-made sauces I've found that actually has a good bit of heat to it. Not so much that it's a hot sauce, but enough that it's hotter than a typical barbecue sauce.
When I heard Famous Dave's promoting their new Brisket Burgers I was intrigued. And when I saw that one was named the Devil's Spit Burger, I was excited. But when I tried the new Devil's Spit Brisket burger, I was mostly just confused.
The problem really stems from something Famous Dave's anticipated, and tried to solve: Why would you order a burger at a barbecue place? I guess there are probably some people who don't enjoy their barbecue. I suspect that Texans, for instance, would not dare set foot in a Famous Dave's if it wasn't for their nephew choosing it for their 10th birthday party. In that case, a burger might be welcomed.
"And who doesn't love barbecue sauce, right? And smoked brisket? Fantastic, we'll just throw some into the burger!" is what I imagine the focus group to have said. This is where I start getting confused, though: When you add so much smoked meat and sauce to a burger, at what point does it stop being a burger? Why wouldn't I just order a brisket sandwich?
Frankly, the brisket sandwich would have been more enjoyable than the two burgers I tried. The one saving grace was the great charbroiled flavor, like from a backyard grill. But if you had blindfolded me, I would have never guessed there was ground beef somewhere in there.
There's smoked brisket chunks—HUGE chunks in some cases—mixed in with the ground beef. This is great for flavor but little else. The combination of ground and shredded meats together makes for a slightly odd texture. While I ordered the burgers with "some pink"—the way my server asked—the ground beef was way overcooked. That dried out the brisket, too. A travesty to even mediocre smoked meat.
The Devil's Spit burger ($10.99) didn't have all that much Devil's Spit on it. I still ended up squirting a puddle on my tray for dipping. The pepperjack cheese wasn't all that peppery, but at least there was a lot of it. "Hell Fire" pickles were not hellish or fiery in the least; they tasted like sweet pickles.
Pulled pork topped the Ultimate burger ($11.99), and in combination with the brisket in the patty, it made me ask once again, why order the burger at all? The good thing about this burger was that the pulled pork distracted you even more from the overcooked ground beef. Everything else on the burger—cheese, bacon—just got lost.
Burgers come with a choice of side, so I went for the Famous Fries. I actually quite like these. They're kind of a mildly seasoned potato wedge, but with a nice crunchy coating on them. Perfect for sopping up Devil's Spit. Definitely skip the mac and cheese unless you like mushy pasta in bland, congealed sauce.
For an app, I tried the BBQ Nachos ($5.99). House-smoked cheddar, Wilbur beans, and Famous chili all intrigued me, as did the pulled pork. Too bad the cheese was of the bland sauce variety, the beans were thin and runny, and there was no chili to be found. I believe that there were a few shreds of the smoked cheddar, but they weren't even melted and couldn't be discerned. The best part was by far the pork, but it definitely doesn't make these worth getting again.
It's not that I wouldn't go to Famous Dave's again; I've been there a bunch of times and will probably go back. But I'll stick to barbecue and tried-and-true sides, like fries and cornbread muffins. Unless you really can't decide between a burger or barbecue, I suggest doing the same.

What would be the advantage of adopting ZF over other set theories such as New Foundation?
I am very curious, since it seems that there is no reason just to stick with ZF.
Edit: What about set theories other than NF? And why is NF's finite axiomatization possbility not attractive?

This is the post I wish I didn't have to write.
Areas of Scotland are now boycotting Israeli books...and products.
Two and a half years ago, shortly after Operation Cast Lead, the West Dunbartonshire Regional Council, located west of Glasgow, approved a bill that called to boycott goods produced in Israel.Its only fitting for people who believe that Israel is entitled to self defense (something Scotland obviously believes Israel isn't entitled to), that we boycott Scottish whiskys from the areas in Scotland (West Dunbartonshire, Dundee) that are boycotting Israeli products.
According to the law, the council and all public bodies under its jurisdiction are forbidden to sell goods that originated from Israel.
Following the botched raid on the Turkish Flotilla to Gaza last May, the council expanded the boycott to include a ban on the purchase of English translations of Israeli books and the distribution of these books in public libraries throughout the council's jurisdiction.
West Dunbartonshire was joined by the large Scottish city Dundee, which decided to issue a recommendation to boycott all goods produced in Israel.
Legal advisers instructed Dundee's mayor to refrain from legally enforcing the boycott in order to avoid future lawsuits. Instead, the municipality plans to distribute posters throughout the city, calling on some 150,000 residents to refrain from buying Israeli goods, and will also apply a special mark on Israeli products, in order to make them easily identifiable. (YNET)
The whisky's I've found so far:
- Ballentine's
- Auchintoshan
- Chivas
- Glenlivet (sigh)
- Bowmore
If you find more...please let me know in the comments section. Once we have a definitive list, I will present it the Duty Free people in Ben-Gurion airport and will make the case for them to remove those whiskys from their shelves.
Boycott these whiskys, people! They don't deserve your money...though I wonder how much support they would get from Gaza.

Remember, remember, the 5th of November… and remember, Guy Fawkes Night is the perfect excuse to wear dazzling make-up!
From sooty eyeshadows to shimmering powders (that's face powder by the way, not gunpowder) get ready for some Bonfire beauty with these smokin' hot products…
For toffee-glazed lips, try Mii Shimmering Lip Sheen in Tantalize 05; this sugary-tasting gloss makes your mouth look good enough to eat. Or, create an explosive red pout with MAC's Marilyn Monroe lipstick in Scarlet Ibis. Its orange hue is bound to give your lips a fiery edge.
Rosy cheeks are synonymous with chilly nights and cosy flames, so for a gentle burn, choose Hervana blusher by Benefit, £23.50. The product, whose palette resembles a swirling Catherine Wheel, is a top-seller and comes in a charming blend of four different colours. As the blusher's tagline goes, 'What comes around goes around!'
Fireworks aren't the only things that need light up the sky this evening. Set your eyes ablaze with Estee Lauder's Pure Colour Eyeshadow in Sizzling Copper Metallic, £16.50. Alternatively, make your eyes smoulder with a coal-like eyeshadow. My go-to shade for smokey eyes is Estee Lauder's Pure Color Eyeshadow in Black Crystals Metallic, £16.50.
If you're after a warm glow, brighten your brow bones with Benefit's Sun Beam, a golden bronze highlighter costing £18.50. For a shimmery finish, sweep Soap and Glory's Glow All Out Luminizing Face Powder, £11 across your cheekbones.
Oh and if you're not too keen on playing with sparklers, adorn your nails with one of Barry M's Glitter Nail Paints. It's a surefire way to make your hands sparkle without running the risk of burning your fingers.
My favourites are the luxurious looking Gold Glitter, the ultra-shimmery Hologram Hexograms, and the iridescent Jewel Britannia – all a mere £2.99 each!
Happy Bonfire Night everyone, and remember – don't step too close to the flames. You wouldn't want your make up to melt now, would you?!

It should be a two-year period. As it is functioning as an adjective, it doesn't take the plural.
Student or Learner
Dear all,
I am trying to understand the difference between "two year period" and "two years period" or "tow-year period". I am not sure I understand when to use one and when to use the other one or which one is correct/wrong.
So far, to what I saw on the internet "two year" it should be a compound words therefore, it should be written using a hyphen "two-year" or is it not the case? However, I thought that when we are talking about many years we use the plural form. This is the part which is not clear to me why it should not be "two years period" or maybe "two-years period" instead of "two year period"? Is this because I am talking about one period of time of 2-year/-s?
(Here is the sentence I was talking about:
A longitudinal study was conducted over a two year period.)
A second question, is there a rule when two-year is a compound word and when not? When do I need to use the the hyphen and when not?
For example if I want to say: I met him two years ago. Is it correct to write without hyphen or with?
Any comments are highly appreciated.
Thank you!
It should be a two-year period. As it is functioning as an adjective, it doesn't take the plural.
Saying "I met him two years ago" is the same as "I have five bicycles now".
A verb + number + noun + time period.
I'm sure you wouldn't think it was "I have five-bicycles now" so, by the same token, there would be no reason to hyphenate "two years".
If, however, you said "I got to know him over a two-year period" then you need the hyphen because "two-year" is a single adjective modifying "period".
Be careful though, because you could also say "I got to know him over the space of two years."
I think it can be either "a two-year period" or "two years' period"
a thirty-second period
a five-minute period
a six-day period
a nine-week period
a seven-month period
a two-year period
a three-century period
a fifty-million-year period
As emsr2d2 demonstrated before, the hyphen is not included if it is not an adjective:
She met him thirty seconds ago.
We enjoyed five minutes together.
I got to know him over the last six days.
You have class for nine weeks.
Everyone has to work for the next seven months.
He has been here for two years.
The conflict has lasted almost three centuries.
They said this fossil dates back fifty million years.


text: Columbus - A marathon week of rain delays and birdie hunting at Muirfield Village Golf Club ended with yet another United States victory at the Presidents Cup, once again raising questions about the relevance of the biennial team competition.The Internationals have triumphed only once and been beaten eight times in 10 editions since the Cup was launched in 1994, and many feel that a change to the event's points structure is sorely needed to make it more competitive.Australian world number two Adam Scott has never been on a triumphant Internationals team despite playing in the Presidents Cup on six occasions, and expressed concern about the imbalance between the two sides on the eve of last week's edition."We need to make this thing really relevant, make it a real competition, because it's got a bit lopsided the last few outings," the Masters champion said. "I think we've got a team that can win, but the only way we can do it is by playing good and wanting it more than the Americans."Despite mounting a gutsy fightback in Sunday's concluding singles session which they dominated, the Internationals faced an uphill task in their bid to beat a potent U.S. team and ultimately lost by 18-1/2 points to 15-1/2.While the 12-man American lineup at Muirfield Village bristled with six players ranked in the world's top 10, the Internationals had eight players from outside the top 25."Absolutely," Internationals captain Nick Price said when asked if the depth in strength on the U.S. team had been the most significant factor. "That's pretty apparent."Price firmly believes that the Presidents Cup should adopt the more compact Ryder Cup format to ensure the event's survival and to create closer competition, though his suggestion has been turned down by PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem.In Price's opinion, fewer points give the stronger team less of an advantage as the weakest players do not compete as often, and he believes this would help the Internationals improve their dismal record against the United States."In order for the Presidents Cup to really go to the next level, it's got to become more consistently competitive," Zimbabwean Price told Reuters. "That is what's lacking."Until such time as that happens, I don't want to say it's going to flounder but it's not going to get to the next level. And everything needs to get to the next level to survive."Though several Internationals players punched above their weight last week, especially Cup rookies Graham DeLaet of Canada, Zimbabwe's Brendon de Jonge and Australian Marc Leishman, they were heavily outgunned by more experienced U.S. opponents. The weather delays did not help, forcing a backlog of matches and extended sessions, and fatigue was a noticeable factor for players who ended up competing in at least part of three different matches on the same day.South Africans Charl Schwartzel and Louis Oosthuizen, who had been expected to flourish in partnership together as one of the top combinations for the Internationals, were among those affected."Of all the Presidents Cups I've been involved in, this was probably the hardest because of the weather conditions," said Price. "The hardest part was trying to figure out the pairings."I felt like I didn't have enough time to do the pairings. It just seemed like we were rushed a little bit. It's the same for (U.S. captain) Fred (Couples), so that's no excuse."A popular aspect of the Presidents Cup is the fact that opposing captains can create intriguing matchups in the singles, very often when the players themselves have expressed a desire to take on a particular opponent.Many had hoped to see world number one Tiger Woods compete against second-ranked Scott on Sunday but instead the American ended up playing against South African Richard Sterne, ranked 41st.Price defended his strategy in deciding the order of his players."I did my pairings to try and win the Cup, not to put one or two together or three or five or whatever," he said. "The whole idea ... was to put what we felt was the best strategy forward to win this Cup."I wanted to put all the guys who are playing the best out first, who had played the strongest this week, to get some momentum for the guys at the back end."To a great extent, Price's strategy worked as his players won 7-1/2 points out of the 12 available in the final session of the 2013 Presidents Cup.While last week's showdown at a sodden Muirfield Village will mainly be remembered for the unseasonably heavy rain and the frustrating weather delays, it also showcased brilliant golf with an abundance of birdies being recorded on a layout which encouraged attacking play."If you have to count the number of birdies that was made in this Presidents Cup compared to other ones, I feel this one had a lot more birdies in it," said South African Ernie Els, a veteran of eight Cups. "The level of play was outstanding."Asked to pinpoint the biggest difference between the two teams at Muirfield Village, Els replied: "We've got a strong team, I just thought the American team played exceptionally well, really."They made a lot of birdies, it seemed like they got momentum in most of the sessions, and we were trying to fight ourselves back into it."Maybe it's a lack of experience, but we just let some matches go here and there, maybe a tee shot here and there or a putt. "The Americans putted a little bit better than us. But we weren't far away."

A lawsuit brought by five Facebook members that accused the social network of violating California law by using them in its "Sponsored Stories" feature, was settled by Facebook paying $10 million to charity.
The lawsuit said that Facebook did not pay to use user names or likenesses in the advertisements nor did it give users a way to opt out, according to Reuters.
Facebook began running "Sponsored Stories" earlier this year which were supposed to charge advertisers for every "Like" made by users. The "Sponsored Stories" would then be shown to those users' Facebook friends often including a profile photo.
U.S. & World
The settlement was reached last month but made public this weekend. Facebook declined to comment on Saturday.
The complaint cited comments from Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook's chief operating officer, who said that the value of a "Sponsored Story" advertisement was two to three times the value of a standard Facebook ad.
U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh said the plaintiffs showed that they could be hurt economically through Facebook's use of their names, photographs and likenesses. "California has long recognized a right to protect one's name and likeness against appropriation by others for their advantage," Koh wrote.
According to court documents, the $10 million will go to charity. No details were released about which charity.
It took a lawsuit to stop Facebook from steamrolling over user privacy, but judging from its current unpopular privacy policies, it will continue to push the envelope with its users. Facebook users beware.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — General Motors came under harsh criticism on Capitol Hill Tuesday as CEO Mary Barra went before members of Congress investigating a botched GM recall.
Barra, appearing before a House committee, apologized for the 13 deaths that GM says were caused by a faulty ignition switch, as well as GM's 10-year delay in issuing a recall. That February recall has grown to 2.6 million vehicles worldwide.
"Today's GM will do the right thing," said Barra, who was named CEO in January. "That begins with my sincere apologies to everyone who has been affected by this recall, especially the families and friends (of those) who lost their lives or were injured. I am deeply sorry."
Members from both sides of the aisle attacked both GM and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the federal safety regulator.
"We know this: The red flags were there for GM and NHTSA to take action, but for some reason it didn't happen," said Tim Murphy, a Republican. "To borrow a phrase, what we have here is a failure to communicate, and the results were deadly."
Democrat Diana DeGette said that GM elected not to replace a part that would have cost 57 cents a car because of cost and the lack of "an acceptable business case."
"The company continued to sell cars knowing they were unsafe," DeGette said. "We're going to get to the bottom of this."
Barra said the statements in GM documents from 2005 that GM elected not to do a fix because it was too expensive were "very disturbing."
"If that's the reason the decision was made, that is not acceptable," she said. "That is not the way we do business today."
She admitted the company had been operating under a "cost culture" in the days before the 2009 bankruptcy, but said today it is operating under a "customer culture."
When asked about when GM knew of problems and why decisions were made, she repeatedly said she did not know the answer.
"That's why we are doing a full and complete investigation," she said.
Earlier Tuesday, family members of people who were killed in some of the recalled cars held a press conference on Capitol Hill calling for GM to take the cars off the roads until it can make the fixes. GM expects to start repairing the ignition switch next week, and has said it is safe for people to drive them until then, as long as they don't have any other keys on their key ring.
The faulty ignition switch can cause the car to shut off while driving, which will disable the airbag, power steering and anti-lock brakes.
Barra met privately with some of the family members at GM's Washington office Monday evening and apologized to them in person.
Barra's testimony came the day after GM announced yet another recall of 1.3 million U.S. cars to fix problems with the power steering. Some of the cars are among those covered by the ignition switch recall.
The latest recall brings total recalls by GM up to nearly 7 million vehicles so far this year.

Rain, rain you can go away but leave me my plate of pasta.
Note: M.I.Y.O. Monday stands for Make It Your Own Monday, a question thrown out to DCF readers every Monday to jumpstart the week with lively interaction. I also welcome questions and suggestions for future MIYO Mondays. Email me.
I've written about my favorite rainy day foods, plus my favorite rainy day drink, and even Rainy Day Cookie Desserts. It's obvious that I like rainy days. They trigger an entirely new set of food cravings for me consumed in a more subdued setting that inspires sentiment.
It used to be that once I heard the raindrops pattering their soundtrack on my roof or I began contemplating the monochromatic kaleidoscope of rain staining the outside of my library window, I'd reach for my cup of hot – usually instant – cocoa. These past weeks however, I find myself craving for sustenance that's more substantial.
Lately, my rainy day food of choice is pasta. I especially prefer pasta made with plenty of sardines practically submerged in a chunky tomato sauce. My noodle of choice: spaghetti, because I fancy twirling noodles instead of piercing them. I've written before (see first link above) about the pasta my Bin used to make for me when we were first married: tuna spaghetti. Thirteen years later, I never cease to marvel at the marvelous pasta dishes my man makes, and sans recipes too. It's something he does once a week for me, usually on a Saturday night. Though I'd like to say that we eat our plates of pasta curled up on the couch with our knees touching, the truth is that we eat "properly" at the dinner table because tomato stains are a bitch to clean. Trust me on this one.
So tell me, what food do you hanker for when it's wet and dreary outside?

Canada Cup #2 - Hardwood Hills, Ontario
We have a pre-race report from Dave Grant (Schwinn-Toyota) on today's downhill. After battling traffic on the 400 from Toronto (an accident slowed things down so much that the organizers were forced to extend registration times), the riders are getting ready for the downhill. Initial reports are that the riders like the course, calling it a "BMX-style" run. The conditions are fast and dry, and the weather is hot and sunny. There are 66 Pro-Elite men and 15 Pro-Elite women, with the first woman off at 2:22 (1 minute intervals). Dave promises reports right after the women finish, halfway through the men's race, and at the end of the men's event.

The seller knows the information now - I just mailed them.I'm not expecting a reply, to be honest. But then if you could get £100-£200 for a vase you already have on auction by ignoring the message, or £17 or less by paying attention and relisting, even if it were a genuine mistake, it would be a tough call for even a very honest seller.
