I ordered a Baldwin door lock set that came missing many parts and had obviously passed through many hands based on condition of packing. That was 16 months ago. They had me return it and it was returned a year ago. Still no refund. They told BBB they issued refund to Amex. I produced 12 months of Amex statements to prove they didn’t. Now they say they don’t deal with Amex anymore so I should take it up with Amex as they have done all they intend to do about my claim. They say they can’t produce evidence that they refunded Amex because they don’t keep that info! I was lied to by Robertga as well always telling me it would be handled within 2 weeks they she just disappeared. I plan to sue in small claims court in NY which will cost me more than what they owe me but this is just so wrong. Can someone give me CEO address?

Looks like a great convention! Why do French companies believe learning shouldn’t be fun? What should it be, boring? Well that’s no fun at all!

I was a volunteer at Sdot Yam from Sept 1970 until May 1971. Had a great time working in the bannana plantation and finally in the laundry. Any one from that time still around?

“French, a language for tomorrow.” For whom? I see that the conference is sponsored in part by the French Ministry of Culture and Communication and the Foreign Ministry, so I suppose they're not quite ready to drop their language in favor of English (or Mandarin). Especially after this trip,you might enjoy the cultural and linguistic insights in The Story of French, by Julie Barlow and Jean-Benoit Nadeau. A husband-and-wife team based in Canada, they go into not only the history of the language but the dynamic between France itself and la francophonie, the international community of French speakers. The cover has a line from Albert Camus: Ma patrie, c'est la langue française. (My country is the French language.)
