Bring Them Back
Reunite Them! BRING THEM BACK! Thousands of pieces of Greek antiquities are hosted in the British Museum. Our campaign does not ask for the return of those. We ask for the return of the Parthenon Marbles in Greece and the Reunification of the Monument. We, the users of the Internet obtain power and we are able to mobilize the international public opinion. Our goal can be achieved this way. Do you believe this is fair? If yes, help this goal come true. Say your own BRING THEM BACK! Say here your own BRING THEM BACK! When we will have collected 1.000.000 signatures, we will be able to set the matter at the European Parliament. www.bringthemback.org The history of the Sculptures you need to understand what the Parthenon Marbles mean to us. They are our pride. They are our sacrifices. They are the absolute noble symbol to us. They are a tribute to the democratic philosophy. They are the ambition and our identity. They are the essence of Hellenism, Melina Merkouri It was in 1806, when the journey of the sculptures began. Their destination was Britain and their bearer, the passionate antiquities collector, Count of Elgin. At the Acropolis of Athens, only the half of the decorating part of the Frieze had remained and tens of sculptures were removed- among them some of the Ancient Greek Civilizations finest works of art. In Britain, the sculptures were named after Elgin, the Elgin Marbles. www.bringthemback.org

Landscaping rocks? I need to know what rocks are best for guiding water toward a drain in my back yard?
This is what happen. I have a pool in my backyard. The pervious owners broke a oval circle in the concrete to install the pool on the dirty instead of just installing it on top of the concrete. So I have a gap between the pool and the rest of the concrete. So when it rains the water just backs up in that gap instead of heading to the drains on both sides of the pool. Anyone know if I can fill that gap with rocks and hope the water will go towards the drains? If not rocks anyone have any ideas what I can do?
