Flaker username: Scharminkeltje
Send out date for swap: 10 September 2013
Other details: no further communication after the sent out date, even just to confirm whether she received my package or not. had been contacted several times but no reply at all.

- Anna: that reminds me of my little sister (she's turning 13 now) she never pronounce my name Judith, she said it u-dit like a baby, and she still does 
hmm proudest moment...maybe when I got a PhD offer by the chair of a good university from US...I was in the verge of loosing it because I've just suddenly been told that I need to do extra credits (like 10, that makes me crazy - 6 is equal to a whole year class) because I didn't have the subject in my bachelor. Right short after my prof told me he's giving me a cutoff but I have two papers to do and have to help him in his conference with extra work, I got this offer in the conference when I was on duty - just out of the blue. The prof who offered me told me the reason is everyone that he talked to (other scholars) there said I'm a really good student. It lifts my desperation of still not being able to find a job here (I live in Germany) because my German is not so fluent.
hi Joss, thanks. but in case they will come back, would you still put their names here?
So lately there are several cases of flaking in swaps. Generally the person who flakes could get away with it because they do it in several different thread. To prevent similar case to happen again, I discussed with other members of the site (mainly Vicky and Kat) and we decided to create this list. However there are several things that you need to note before deciding to accuse someone as flaking a swap (not all are mandatory):
IMPORTANT NOTE: A person shall not be considered as flaking just because you receive your swap items and do not like them!
1. (mandatory) There are minimum 4 weeks of undelivered package (after shipping statement from your partner) and or with minimum of 2 weeks without contact after you ship your package, with your swap partner.
2. (optional) Similar case happens to someone else either in the same or different thread of swap, and both of you had agreed that no. (1) applied to you both.
Further case:
3. If after the person's username is listed and they contact you with a reasonable alibi (such as accident, or other life threatening situation) or the package arrive, you have the obligation to contact either Vicky (vickyninja) or me to clarify the matter.
4. If case no. (3) applies and the person is proven innocent, you should post a clarification which mentions the person's username in this thread so the username would be deleted from the list. Accusing someone when proven innocent in the end is unacceptable.
5.You will have one week to clarify the matter if no. (3) and (4) applies, if not your name will be put in separated list for "wanted for clarification".
6. If turns out you are proven to fake your case in order to get a swap angel, your name will be listed instead.
When stating your problem please refer to the numbers in order to make your explanation shorter and understandable. I know some other member would be more than willing to help me, but since I'm the thread host I just want to make sure everything will run well here.

I also like Caro Emerald and Olly Murs. Try MKTO, Janelle Monae, Paolo Nutini and Chris Rene. If you'd like a shot of non-English singers, try Andreas Bourani (German-my fave is the one titled nur in meinem kopf) and Sandy Sandoro (Sandy has some English songs too but its a bit hard to find his clips, most of them are concert record-try the song titled malam biru, this one has a vclip).
Hi, so I'm entering this photo contest in facebook and apparently the winners will be picked based on vote. The picture is a picture of my best friend whose getting engaged, and I think she'll be moving out to Australia or Greece (depends on her fiancee's job).
Vote could be made once per person per day. I'm not really fond of the rules, but a rule is a rule So I would really appreciate it if you would kindly help me vote (not facebook like). My facebook name is Marceline Judith. I think it's not necessary to share or fill in your email, I tried and the vote still counts (just click skip). Thank you so much! Below here is the link to the page:

thanks Monika for the update and Suzanne for posting the picture :p If its true that I've been flaked on, then its not a good start for swapping. But Suzanne stepped in for me thus I have a successful first swap here thanks! Suzanne, I will also post your items as soon as they came. It should be here anytime soon, normally it doesn't take so long from US
bumping this post up so the thread won't get way too sinked. the newbies need to get signed up so the vets can contact them.
alright. time to contact our partners then. I contacted vicky and we've already started planning for the swap.
I'm not sure if the amount of vet and newbie will be even...but for starters, I can do the swap with vicky since she prefers someone who lives in EU and I live in Germany.
I can join if that helps you make the amount even.
Name: Judith
Location: Germany
International shipping: Yes
Favorite pokemon: Eeve-Flareon-Leafeon, Raichu, minccino, ninetales, fennekin
I would say the same. Pick college that also has a convenient environment to live, and allows you a wide opportunity-depends on your interest. My college has connection with other Asian universities so I had a chance to go for an exchange abroad. Again, see what matches your interest. It was in Taipei, large city and so lively 24 hours.
The town where I'm doing my master degree is a small and quiet town in Germany. Good connections, so in the end when I helped their international conference I had a chance to met the famous scholars personally and got a PhD offer in US. For you the best way to find out is of course their website, but normally they don't have all the information there. Try to ask if you know some of the alumni or just email the university directly. Normally they have (international) student office.
please list that I'm starting my swap with kiddo thanks!
thanks everyone, all links are listed.
listed yours, elfin! thanks
