Heft is something like a book. Here it means something like a leaflet, i think.

I received this email aswell. And I got added on Facebook by someone named Hernando Santamaria. His profile pic shows one of the Eklipse Global Symbols (the one with the eagle) and he seems to be the guy who is on the new flyer of them. He has a note about that on his profile:

Quote:
Wow! Eklipse Global placed my pic in their recruitment poster!

Smile

Well if you are also interested to study abroad and get $35,000 for expenses for pretty much nothing you should try it. I did and i had a blast!

no this isnt spam... Smile


I will go to one of the addresses tonight, which was displayed first on the Eklipse Website. Mehringplatz 76 in Berlin. Let's see, what we can find out there.

With those new coordinates in Berlin we had no luck. There was nothing to find.


I can't remember, is there anyway to see how long the person has held a Facebook account? I checked Facebook earlier last week and got accounts for all 4 names mentioned earlier, but none of them looked as if they were in game.

ETA woo 100 posts (isn't this obligatory? Razz)

This may be troutbait, but the symbols on the gear translate as "tooth gear", according to babelfish.

The same symbols appear on the top of kuromoritoshio's blog, underneath which are symbols translating as "Like this you talked the black forest" or "said 黒森" in google.

I'm willing to bet the answer to that question is the password to the file.

Throwing the "黒森はこう語った" into Google pulls up three pages:
Link

which link to this:
Link

Translated,
Link

The first link refers to an email address: kuroSPLATmo.ri and apparently says

黒森 :2008/07/09(水) 08:03:43 ID:kXW72eTY0
静かなところ。
喚声も止めた。
でもまだ聞こえる。

or

A quiet place.
喚声も止めた。喚声also stopped.
でもまだ聞こえる。 But still sound.

Bablefish:
Quiet kana place. You stopped also shout. So it is audible still.

Oh, and some of the images that pop up on the japanese sites are NSFW[/url]

Well, we got in. Huge thanks to Vision and Tenshi on IRC, more coming soon about that.

The PDF is a brochure with one annotation:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Gudrun, this issue is not the best thing we had previously published. Only unfortunately urge those interested to this booklet as soon as possible. So please watch it, whether there are any errors in it stuck and whether the gentlemen from the control department have overlooked something.

Otherwise, wait for my OK, please.

From the clues in the Japanese translation Toupiie found this blog http://pacific-islander.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html with this image on it. It has a barbershop, a temple for a wedding ceremony, is on Tokaido hwy and has fertilizer and Ivy. Very Happy

It's hiding with the temple. Smile
Not sure there is Ivy there though. Also take into account that the translation might not be correct, and might not mention Ivy at all .
