Maternity wedding dresses are much nicer than in the past and find nice clothes to choose marriage. Many women leave their own family before the wedding to start, and increasingly couples are always looking to marry pregnant. In addition, it is not, at what point in your pregnancy thing - what a beautiful maternity wedding gown based on your wedding day special find.
A bridal boutique is usually not much in the way of maternity wedding dresses, see the website to determine who to special bridal dresses. If you buy your dress in advance, you must consider what length throughout their wedding day. To ensure the right size to get the perfect gown, many brides pregnant start shopping early, but closer to the actual purchase date of marriage.
Then you will not have to worry that you're tired of the dress before the wedding.
When most people think of the bridal gown world, believe that the traditional white robe. Buy a shop on the Web would save time and money, of course, in this process.

FIFA is amongst the most favored games in the world. As the game is popular, a lot of people have no idea the way to get many coins hanging around. To aid you, allow me to share tips about how to get many coins:
Engage in single player games
Here you have to play against a product. When playing, you ought to make sure that you win with a large margin for you to get many coins. By way of example, whenever you win with at the very least 3-0 you'll fetch 400-500 coins in every game.
Take part in tournaments
Tournaments are great places to earn lots of money. When doing these tournaments you ought to make every effort to win the games. Whenever you win inside a tournament, you're making about 800 coins in every match.
Be wise inside your investing times
A lot of people play the game after work. Which means that a lot of people begin to play at 3 pm or 5 pm. Which means that there is popular for your fifa coins at the moment. If you have time, it's recommended that you play as a result of morning hours.
Whenever you play at the moment you easily collect the coins which you'll sell at a profit through the prime time. By selling the coins at a later date you easily fetch lots of money. By way of example, you can create 1,000 to 100,000 coins from a sales.
Select skilled players
When playing, you need to use professional players. Skilled players will not only aid you in winning a sport, but they will also be of popular; therefore, you'll sell them at a higher price resulting for your requirements setting up a fortune.
Resell packs and cards
A pack contains contracts, balls, players, kits and managers. If you have some cash, you should obtain numerous packs and later on resell them at a profit. If you have cards of top rated players, marketing them at huge profits and work out a great deal of coins.

What is the Talmud?
In case you have never had the opportunity to investigate
the contents of the "63 books" of the Talmud so well summarized
by Rabbi Morris N. Kertzer in his illuminated article "What is a
Jew", previously quoted, may I here impose upon your precious
time to quote a few passages for you until you find the time to
conveniently investigate the Talmud's contents personally. If I can
be of any assistance to you in doing so please do not hesitate to let
me know in what manner you can use my help.
From the Birth of Jesus until this day there have never been recorded more vicious and vile libelous blasphemies of Jesus, or Christians and the Christian faith by anyone, anywhere or anytime than you will find between the covers of the infamous "63 books" which are "the legal code which forms the basis of Jewish religious law" as well as the "textbook used in the training of rabbis". The explicit and implicit irreligious character and implications of the contents of the Talmud will open your eyes as they have never been opened before. The Talmud reviles Jesus, Christians and the Christian faith as the priceless spiritual and cultural heritage of Christians has never been reviled before or since the Talmud was completed in the 5th century. You will have to excuse the foul, obscene, indecent, lewd and vile language you will see here as verbatim quotations from the official unabridged translation of the Talmud into English. Be prepared for a surprise.
In the year 1935 the international hierarchy of so-called or self-styled "Jews" for the first time in history published an official unabridged translation of the complete Talmud in the English language with complete footnotes. What possessed them to make this translation into English is one of the unsolved mysteries. It was probably done because so many so-called or self-styled "Jews" of the younger generation were unable to read the Talmud in the many ancient languages in which the original "63 books" of the Talmud were first composed by their authors in many lands between 200 B.C. and 500 A.D.
The international hierarchy of so-called or self-styled "Jews" selected the most learned scholars to make this official translation of the Talmud into English. These famous scholars also prepared official footnotes explaining unabridged translation of the Talmud into English where they were required. This official unabridged translation of the Talmud into English with the official footnotes was printed in London in 1935 by the Soncino Press. It has been always referred to as the Soncino Edition of the Talmud. A very limited number of the Soncino Edition were printed. They were not made available to any purchaser. The Soncino Edition of the Talmud is to be found in the Library of Congress and the New York Public Library. A set of the Soncino Edition of the Talmud has been available to me for many years. They have become rare "collector's items" by now.
The Soncino Edition of the Talmud with its footnotes is like a double-edged sword. It teaches the Talmud to countless millions of the younger generation of so-called or self-styled "Jews" who are not able to read the Talmud in the many ancient languages in which the Talmud was written by its authors between 200 B.C. and 500 A.D. It also teaches Christians what the Talmud has to say about Jesus, About Christians and about the Christian faith. Someday this is bound to back-fire. Christians will some day challenge the assertion that the Talmud is the "sort of book" from which Jesus allegedly "drew the teachings which enabled him to revolutionize the world" on "moral and religious subjects". The rumbling is already heard in places.
Verbatim quotations from the Soncino Edition of the Talmud are required to illustrate the enormity of the Talmud's iniquity. My comments with verbatim quotations will prove inadequate to do that. In spite of the low language I will of necessity therefore include in this letter to you I have no compunctions in the matter because the United States Post Office authorities do not bar the Soncino Edition of the Talmud from the mails. Nevertheless I apologize in advance for the language which will of necessity appear in this letter to you. You now understand.
The official unabridged Soncino Edition of the Talmud published in 1935 was "Translated into English with Notes, Glossary and Indices" by such eminent Talmudic scholars as Rabbi Dr. I. Epstein, Rabbi Dr. Samuel Daiches, Rabbi Dr. Israel W. Slotki, M.A., Litt.D., The Reverend Dr. A. Cohen, M.A.', Ph.D., Maurice Simon, M.A., and the Very Reverend The Chief Rabbi Dr. J.H. Hertz wrote the "Foreword" for the Soncino Edition of the Talmud. The Very Reverend Rabbi Hertz was at the time the Chief Rabbi of England.
The following are but a few of the many similar quotations with footnotes from the Soncino Edition of the Talmud, the "sort of book" from which Jesus allegedly "drew the teachings which enabled him to revolutionize the world" on "moral and religious" subjects:
SANHEDRIN, 55b-55a: "What is meant by this? - Rab said: Pederasty with a child below nine years of age is not deemed as pederasty with a child above that. Samuel said: Pederasty with a child below three years is not treated as with a child above that (2) What is the basis of their dispute? - Rab maintains that only he who is able to engage in sexual intercourse, may, as the passive subject of pederasty throw guilty (upon the actual offender); whilst he who is unable to engage in sexual intercourse cannot be a passive subject of pederasty (in that respect) (3). But Samuel maintains: Scriptures writes, (And thou shalt not lie with mankind) as with the lyings of a woman (4). It has been taught in accordance with Rab: Pederasty at the age of nine years and a day; (55a) (he) who commits bestiality, whether naturally or unnaturally: or a woman who causes herself to be beastally abused, whether naturally or unnaturally, is liable to punishment (5)."Before giving any more verbatim quotations from the "sort of book" from which it is falsely alleged Jesus "drew the teachings which enabled him to revolutionize the world" on "moral and religious subjects" I wish to here again recall to your attention the official statement by Rabbi Marris N. Kertzer in Look Magazine for June 17, 1952. In that official statement made by Rabbi Morris N. Kertzer on behalf of The American Jewish Committee, self- styled "The Vatican of Judaism", informed the 20,000,000 readers of "Look' magazine that the Talmud is "THE LEGAL CODE WHICH FORMS THE BASIS OF JEWISH RELIGIOUS LAW AND IT IS THE TEXTBOOK USED IN THE TRAINING OF RABBIS". Please bear this in mind as you read further.
Before continuing I wish also to call your attention to another feature. Confirming the official view of Rabbi Morris N. Kertzer, the New York 'Times' on May 20, 1954 ran a news item under the headline "Rabbis Plan a Fund to Endow Two Chairs". The news item itself ran as follows:
"Special to the New York Times, Uniontown, Pa. May 19 - Plans for raising $500,000, for the creation of two endowed chairs at the 'Jewish Theological Seminary of America' were announced today at the fifty-forth annual convention of the 'Rabbinical Assembly of America'. THE PROFESSORSHIPS WOULD BE KNOWN AS THE LOUIS GINSBERG CHAIR IN TALMUD..."This is further proof that the Talmud is not yet quite a dead-letter in the "TRAINING OF RABBIS". Is further proof needed on that question?
The world's leading authorities on the Talmud confirm that the official unabridged Soncino Edition of the Talmud translated into English follows the original texts with great exactness. It is almost a word-for-word translation of the original texts. In his famous classic "The History of the Talmud Michael Rodkinson, the leading authority on the Talmud, in collaboration with the celebrated Reverend Dr. Isaac M. Wise states:
With the conclusion of the first volume of this work at the beginning of the twentieth century, we would invite the reader to take a glance over the past of the Talmud, in which he will see... that not only was the Talmud not destroyed, but was so saved that NOT A SINGLE LETTER OF IT IS MISSING; and now IT IS FLOURISHING TO SUCH A DEGREE AS CANNOT BE FOUND IN ITS PAST HISTORY...THE TALMUD IS ONE OF THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD. During the twenty centuries of its existence...IT SURVIVED IN ITS ENTIRETY, and not only has the power of its foes FAILED TO DESTROY EVEN A SINGLE LINE, but it has not even been able materially to weaken its influence for any length of time. IT STILL DOMINATES THE MINDS OF A WHOLE PEOPLE, WHO VENERATE ITS CONTENTS AS DIVINE TRUTH... The colleges for the study of the Talmud are increasing almost in every place where Israel dwells, especially in this country where millions are gathered for the funds of the two colleges, the Hebrew Union College of Cincinnati and the Jewish Theological Seminary of America in New York, in which the chief study is the Talmud... There are also in our city houses of learning (Jeshibath) for the study of the Talmud in the lower East Side, where many young men are studying the Talmud every day."This "divine truth" which "a whole people venerate" of which "not a single letter of it is missing" and today "is flourishing to such a degree as cannot be found in its history" is illustrated by the additional verbatim quotations which follow:
SANHEDRIN, 55b: "A maiden three years and a day may be acquired in marriage by coition, and if her deceased husband's brother cohabits with her, she becomes his. The penalty of adultery may be incurred through her; (if a niddah) she defiles him who has connection with her, so that he in turn defiles that upon which he lies, as a garment which has lain upon (a person afflicted with gonorrhea)." (emphasis in original text of Soncino Edition, Ed.)(Book)
SANHEDRIN, 69a " 'A man'; from this I know the law only with respect to a man: whence do I know it of one aged nine years and a day who is capable of intercourse? From the verse, And 'if a man'? (2)-He replied: Such a minor can produce semen, but cannot beget therewith; for it is like the seed of cereals less than a third grown (3)."(Book)
SANHEDRIN, 69b "Our rabbis taught: If a woman sported lewdly with her young son (a minor), and he committed the first stage of cohabitation with her, -Beth Shammai say, he thereby renders her unfit for the priesthood (1). Beth Hillel declare her fit...All agree that the connection of a boy nine years and a day is a real connection; whilst that of one less than eight years is not (2); their dispute refers only to one who is eight years old.(Book)
KETHUBOTH, 5b. "The question was asked: Is it allowed (15) to perform the first marital act on the Sabbath? (16). Is the blood (in the womb) stored up (17), or is it the result of a wound? (18).(Book)
KETHUBOTH, 10a-10b. "Someone came before Rabban Gamaliel the son of Rabbi (and) said to him, 'my master I have had intercourse (with my newly wedded wife) and I have not found any blood (7). She (the wife) to him, 'My master, I am still a virgin'. He (then) said to them; Bring me two handmaids, one (who is) a virgin and one who had intercourse with a man. They brought to him (two such handmaids), and he placed them on a cask of wine. (In the case of ) the one who was no more a virgin its smell (1) went through (2), (in the case of) the virgin the smell did not go through (3). He (then) placed this one (the young wife) also (on the cask of wine), and its smell (4) did not go through. He (then) said to him: Go, be happy with thy bargain (7). But he should have examined her from the beginning (8)."(Book)
KETHUBOTH, 11a-11b. "Rabba said, It means (5) this: When a grown up man has intercourse with a little girl it is nothing, for when the girl is less than this (6), it is as if one puts the finger in the eye (7), but when a small boy has intercourse with a grown up woman, he makes her as 'a girl who is injured by a piece of wood'".(Book)
KETHUBOTH, 11a-11b. "Rab Judah said that Rab said: A small boy who has intercourse with a grown up woman makes her (as though she were ) injured by a piece of wood (1). Although the intercourse of a small boy is not regarded as a sexual act, nevertheless the woman is injured by it as by a piece of wood."(Book)
HAYORATH, 4a. "We learnt: (THE LAW CONCERNING THE MENSTRUANT OCCURS IN THE TORAH BUT IF A MAN HAS INTERCOURSE WITH A WOMAN THAT A WAITS A DAY CORRESPONDING TO A DAY HE IS EXEMPT. But why? Surely (the law concerning) a woman that awaits a day corresponding to a day is mentioned in the Scriptures: He hath made naked her fountain. But, surely it is written, (1)- They might rule that in the natural way even the first stage of contact is forbidden; and in an unnatural way, however, is (that the ruling might have been permitted) (3) even in the natural way (4) alleging (that the prohibition of) the first stage (5) has reference to a menstruant woman only (6). And if you prefer I might say: The ruling may have been that a woman is not regarded as a zabah (7) except during the daytime because it is written, all the days of her issue (8)." (emphasis appears in Soncino Edition original, Ed.)(Book)
ABODAH ZARAH, 36b-37a. "R. Naham b. Isaac said: They decreed in connection with a heathen child that it would cause defilement by seminal emission (2) so that an Israelite child should not become accustomed to commit pederasty with it...From what age does a heathen child cause defilement by seminal emission? From the age of nine years and one day. (37a) for inasmuch as he is then capable of the sexual act he likewise defiles by emission. Rabina said: It is therefore to be concluded that a heathen girl (communicates defilement) from the age of three years and one day, for inasmuch as she is then capable of the sexual act she likewise defiles by a flux.(Book)
SOTAH, 26b. "R. Papa said: It excludes an animal, because there is not adultery in connection with an animal (4). Raba of Parazika (5) asked R. Ashi, Whence is the statement which the Rabbis made that there is no adultery in connection with an animal? Because it is written, Thou shalt not bring the hire of a harlot or the wages of a dog etc.; (6) and it has been taught: The hire of a dog (7) and the wages of a harlot (8) are permissible, as it is said, Even both of these (9) - the two (specified texts are abominations) but not four (10)...As lying with mankind. (12) But, said Raba, it excludes the case where he warned her against contact of the bodies (13). Abaye said to him, That is merely an obscene act (and not adultery), and did the All-Merciful prohibit (a wife to her husband) for an obscene act?" (emphasis in the original text, Ed.)(Book)
YEBAMOTH, 55b. "Raba said; for what purpose did the All- Merciful write 'carnally' in connection with the designated bondmaid (9), a married woman (10< and a sotah (11)? That in connection with the designated bondmaid (is required) as has just been explained (12). That in connection with a married woman excludes intercourse with a relaxed membrum (13). This is a satisfactory interpretation in accordance with the view of him who maintains that if one cohabited with forbidden relatives with relaxed membrum he is exonerated (14); what, however, can be said, according to him who maintains (that for such an act one is) guilty? The exclusion is rather that of intercourse with a dead woman (15). Since it might have been assumed that, as (a wife), even after her death, is described as his kin (16), one should be guilty for (intercourse with) her (as for that) with a married woman, hence we are taught (that one is exonerated).(Book)
YEBAMOTH, 103a-103b. "When the serpent copulated with Eve (14) with lust. The lust of the Israelites who stood at Mount Sinai (16) came to an end, the lust of idolators who did not stand at Mount Sinai did not come to an end."(Book)
YEBAMOTH, 63a. "R. Eleazar further stated: What is meant by the Scriptural text, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh (5)? This teaches that Adam had intercourse with every beast and animal but found no satisfaction until he cohabited with Eve.(Book)
YEBAMOTH, 60b. "As R. Joshua b. Levi related: 'There was a certain town in the Land of Israel the legitimacy of whose inhabitants was disputed, and Rabbi sent R. Ramanos who conducted an enquiry and found in it the daughter of a proselyte who was under the age of three years and one day (14), and Rabbi declared her eligible to live with a priest (15)."(Book)
YEBAMOTH, 59b. "R. Shimi b. Hiyya stated: A woman who had intercourse with a beast is eligible to marry a priest (4). Likewise it was taught: A woman who had intercourse with that which is no human being (5), though she is in consequence subject to the penalty of stoning (6), is nevertheless permitted to marry a priest (7).(Book)
YEBAMOTH, 12b "R. Bebai recited before R. Naham: Three (categories of) woman may (7) use an absorbent (8) in their marital intercourse (9), a minor, a pregnant woman and a nursing woman. The minor (10) because (otherwise) she might (11) become pregnant, and as a result (11) might die...And what is the age of such a minor? (14). From the age of eleven years and one day until the age of twelve years and one day. One who is under (15), or over this age (16) must carry on her marital intercourse in the usual manner."(Book)
YEBAMOTH, 59b. "When R. Dimi came (8) he related: It once happened at Haitalu (9) that while a young woman was sweeping the floor (10) a village dog (11) covered her from the rear (12) and Rabbi permitted her to marry a priest. Samuel said: Even a High Priest.(Book)
KETHUBOTH, 6b. "Said he to him: Not like those Babylonians who are not skilled in moving aside. (7), but there are some who are skilled in moving aside (8). If so, why (give the reason of) 'anxious.? (10)- for one who is not skilled. (Then) let the[m] say: One who is skilled is allowed (to perform the first intercourse on Sabbath), one who is not skilled is forbidden? -Most (people) are skilled (11). Said Raba the son of R. Hanan to Abaye' If this were so, then why (have) groomsmen (12) why (have) a sheet? (13)- He (Abaye) said to him: There (the groomsmen and the sheet are necessary) perhaps he will see and destroy (the tokens of her virginity) (14).After reading these verbatim quotations from the countless other similar quotations which you will find in the official unabridged Soncino Edition of the Talmud in the English language are you of the opinion, my dear Dr. Goldstein, that the Talmud was the "sort of book" from which Jesus "drew the teachings which enabled him to revolutionize the world" on "moral and religious subjects"? You have read here verbatim quotations and official footnotes on a few of the many other subjects covered by the "63 books" of the Talmud. When you read them you must be prepared for a shock. I am surprised that the United States Post Office does not bar the Talmud from the mails. I hesitate to quote them in this letter.

The Coalition is given a new route out of Hagan sector to circumvent Sith Imperial blockade.
Ace and crew traveled to Keosh to convince Wookie settlement at New Palsaang to move to Desolation. Gadssk especially wanting to see that the Wookie orphans he saved be taken off planet because of the existence of a Sith Temple and potential for the planet to once again be used as a testing ground for planet killing ritual. Initially there was difficulty convincing the Wookie population to move but with the combined efforts of Gadssk and Raquelle many were eventually convinced to travel to Desolation, with the promise that they were not being forced to join the alliance should they take the crew up on their offer to move to Desolation. The Ewoks population was willing to move once they were told of the forests of Desolation, and the Rishii were easily convinced once the likelihood of a repeat of the Sith Ritual was explained. The most difficulty was with Korkuhl, guardian to the orphan Wookies. He was finally convinced that saving the children years ago changed Gadssk's philosophy regarding hunting and killing and he was a changed Transdoshan. So off Korkuhl went to pack and representatives from each tribe were sent to survey their potential new home. Plans to move the 28 Rishii, 250 Wookie, 560 Ewoks were made where the population would be moved from New Palsaang to Caizo via Bantha Shipping Company ships, then Alliance ships would transport them to Desolation. Count Amas was notified of the plans and he promised that facilities would be made ready.
Flying Bantha was called and Dosk Trill was informed of the need for ships to move the population from New Palsaang to Caizo. Through mildly subtle subtext the real reasons were made clear to Dosk Trill. Dosk Trill also hinted that new activity would be welcome from the Idiots Array, and that the tight security seen outside Port Rasper was mirrored inside as well. While checking the bounty list it was noted that any information leading to the identity of the Idiots Array was worth 10,000 credits.
While on route to Desolation information was gathered on Cetec Enterprises. Through official channels it was discovered that Cetec has been in existence for only a year with the President a male Herglic Shi'an Mardu. Cetec is a conglomerate of several companies quickly acquired once the company came into existence and is known for computer and droid manufacturing operating mainly in the Outer Rim. A more thorough search exposed underworld and Sith Empire connections, planet wide strip mining, and its attempts to enter the slave trade for cheap labor. Further examination of the recording of the conversation with Illia Rousk of Cetec Enterprises showed that she was in Hyperspace pinging a relay on Port Rasper. Plans were made to further investigate Cetec's office in Red Sector when next in Port Rasper.
Combining this information, and Cetec's interest in using the Borocta and Mon Cal as slave labor, we start limiting the search to certain planets in the system that they may be working on. The Borocta were needed for their adaptation to jungle environments making them suitable for work at "the site." Only a few planets in the Sector have jungles.
- Ferry in Calestis System
- Remote planet Kyp has coordinates to.
Trouble on the Home Front
When the crew arrived at Desolation they were unable to hail Hopes Ridge. Landing close by the crew carefully approached and observed the base. The majority of the population was seen milling around the outside of the base walls and the guns, manned by Alliance soldiers, were all pointed in base. Conversations with Colonel Brythe and Bandit the situation was explained. While clearing out new territory within the Longshot a hive of Ground Ticks, human sized bugs, was uncovered and they were swarming around inside the base. It was decided that this would be an excellent training exercise for the new recruits, unfortunately the armory was heavily populated by the ground ticks. In other news a crew of Techs attempting to restore the second tower of the Longshot were trapped in the tower and in need of rescue. Once the outside forces were re-synched with the Longshot, one of the techs was found dead and the others were under attack. The crew offered to rescue the trapped techs and make for the hive, hopefully drawing away the majority of the bugs making it easier for the recruits to clear out the armory and begin a room to room search within the Longshot.
Flying up to the second tower in the Ace the crew jumped down onto the tower (with mixed success) and entered the room landing between the bugs and the tech crew. The Techs were then ordered to make for the front of the room and jump into the Ace while the crew proceeded to clear the room. Unfortunately one of the Techs were killed in an acid attack by one of the bugs before he was able to escape. With the help of some rather creative flying, the techs were able to jump from the Tower to the Ace and escape. Through the combined use of laser fire, grenades and old fashioned wrestling, the tower was cleared of bugs and the crew made their way towards the hive.
Bandit was able to ensure the way to the Hive was clear of bugs by sealing off the route from the rest of the ship. The hive was located in a mess hall/rec center, in the center of several bugs the Queen (a bug easily twice to three times the size of the rest of the bugs could be seen) a series of successful, and unlikely, shots from far down the hall ensured that the attention of the bugs was well and truly caught. A direct assault on the Queen was initiated and various attacks ranging from laser blasts, grenades, Bug riding, freeze drying, and holographic projections were used to subdue the Hive. With the death of the Queen, the other bugs went into a confused frenzy and were cleared out by the Alliance Soldiers.

Need To Sell My Richardson House Fast- Who Can Pay All Cash?
Is accepting a cash offer for your Richardson house an intelligent notion? Not necessarily.
When To Walk Away From A Cash Offer
*** You Don't Feel You Can Trust The Investor
*** Listen To Your Intuition- If Something Sounds Too Good To Be True It Probably Is- Walk Away
*** When The Investor Does Not Care About The Situation Solely Getting The Deed
*** When You Do Not Feel The Offer Is Fair
I will tell you how to sell any property for cash, a few reasons to refuse a cash offer, and when you should not say no.
Selling My Property For Cash In Richardson
If you might be selling a home in Richardson to an end buyer (the person living in the house), chances are very high it is not going to be bought with cash.
Many real estate transactions close with a bank loan, because most buyers don't have the money. This isn't really anything new. Everyone already knows this, but they just don't realize it.
Even most investors do not close transactions with cash. It's wiser to share the risk so even if investors have the funds most would still prefer a bank loan.
Glymph Properties prides itself on not over extending itself. We maintain a modest staff, but our CEO Akmauri Glymph wants to ensure he has the ability to personally speak with all interested sellers. We help many Richardson homeowners sell / get rid of their houses fast. We buy houses one at a time to make certain we afford each seller the attention they deserve.
In most situations, we will pay cash for your Richardson property. We work with two types of sellers. The first needs to get their home sold as quick as possible for quick cash whilst avoiding realtor commissions & and the headache of having to market their property. The second is a seller in need of help and Glymph Properties helps them to find the best solution to their dilemma that's causing them to get rid of their property as quick as possible. You want to sell and walk away… Glymph Properties can close with cash. You want to sell and stay we can do that too.
The Perks Of An All Cash Sale Of Your House
The many advantages of a cash sale are substantial:
*** Quick money when you want it
*** You don't have to deal with the hassles of waiting months for a buyer to get a mortgage, only to be told that the lender eliminated the program and you have to find another buyer.
*** You don't have to give away nearly 10% of the sales price to the realtors.
*** You don't need to open your house for the neighbors to come in to sight see. We never waste your time. This is not only our passion, it is our business.
***You never have to paint, make repairs, or even tidy up the place. We'll buy your property or home as- is. You are not going to waste money on junk haulers or contractors.
*** We are no-hassle. Once we agree to a fair price- that's it. It's all down hill from there. As my neices like to say, "EZ peazy".

Who knew Windows Mobile was so hackable? Apparently one can customize the SMS application background by simply taking a JPG, naming it sms_bg.jpg, sms_bg1.jpg, and smschatbgr.jpg and simply drop it in the Windows directory of your device.
If that sounds a bit too much work, there are some backgrounds available to download in self-installing cab form in this XDA-Developers thread here.
This hack will obviously do nothing to HTC's threaded SMS application, but if a clean ROM is your thing you now have it made.

Astapiana - Villa Giusso in the Sorrento Peninsula of Italy
Masseria Astapiana Villa Giusso Vico Equense Sorrento Peninsula Amalfi Coast Italy Historic Farmhouse Lodgings Accommodations
Hosts: Giovanna, Giulia and Erminia
Guestrooms: 6
Address: Via Camaldoli, 51, 80069 - Vico Equense (NA), Italy
(+39) 081 8024392,
Fax: (+39) 081 403797
Activities/Attractions: About 20 mi/32 km south of Naples, this area is one of the most romantic and beautiful in Italy. The peninsula (especially the Amalfi coastal drive) is spectacular. Begin in Sorrento (at the northern end) and continue to Vietri Sul Mare, on the southeast coast (or vice versa). It's only 40 mi/64 km, but en route you'll find secluded beaches, reefs, citrus groves, clear blue water, exquisite scenery, excellent restaurants and a hair-raising, narrow cliff road along the seaside. Along one of the beautiful and evocative areas of the Neapolitan coast, between Sorrento and Castellammare di Stabia, we find Vico Equense, on a great tufa coastline, plunged in the green and overlooking the gulf of Naples.
Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast regularly play host to a wealth of cultural events, particularly in the spring and summer seasons. Fabulous international musical events alternate with religious festivals, historical re-enactments and fêtes. Don't miss this unique and relaxing opportunity to travel back in time at Astapiana! You'll be greeted by a guide who will take you on a tour of the Camaldolesi monastery. Lunch features specialities of the area will be served in the magnificent 17th century kitchen. Stroll through the park, perhaps meditating as the monks did two hundred years ago. At the disposal of guests:
From Sorrento there are frequent hydrofoils and ferry boats leaving for the island of Capri, and from June to September, for Positano and the Amalfi coast and for the island of Ischia. Centrally situated to visit this part of Campania:
"No TV, no traffic, no WiFi... outstanding hospitality, marvellous building (a well renovated palace!) and views, great room (a suite!) in the main part of the property... a remarkable place if you're looking for a real taste of the late Italian 19th century on a beautiful hill on the Sorrento peninsula... and for those who want to relax: we loved it."
General Information: Welcome to Masseria Astapiana - Villa Giusso ... an estate, at 400 metres above the sea, in a fascinating location overlooking the Sorrento peninsula and Bay of Naples in Campania, Italy. Composed of different historical buildings, it is surrounded by 15 hectares of lands, partly cultivated (orchards, vineyards, olive grows) and partly pristine (chestnut trees).
A former monastery transformed into an elegant manor house, you feel as though you have stepped back in time. In 1822, the property was bought by Luigi Giusso, duke of Galdo, the present owner's ancestor. Now Erminia and Giovanna invite you to experience their hospitality and the beauty and fascination of this historical site. A welcome drink await for you on the stone terrace: from this point the view is absolutely mesmerizing: Ischia, The Vesuvius and the bay of Naples, against an amazing sunset. The farm grows fruit, vegetables and above all - olive trees.
Payment Accepted: Visa, MasterCard.
Rates: (Prices quoted in Euros).
€650-850/week (Annunciata)
"Steeped in history the building retains a distinctly 18/19th century air but has 21st century bathrooms! The food was superb and sourced very locally. Nothing had prepared me for the view I discovered early next morning: below was the awe inspiring site of the Bay of Naples with Vesuvius lowering in the distance. I returned to this beautiful panorama every morning before breakfast! One of the reasons for choosing Villa Giusso was its superb geographical position. Overall the atmosphere was very friendly and we made several new friends around the refectory table. I would not hesitate to recommend the Villa Giusso to anybody."
"Villa Giusso is an enchanted place, perfect for a romantic getaway, weddings (of which there were several during our stay), or a home base from which to explore Sorrento, Capri and the Amalfi coast without the distractions of traffic and tourist crowds. We made our home in a monk's cottage apart from the main building, joining our hosts and fellow travelers for coffee, breakfast, and an occasional home-cooked dinner. Our hostesses, Giovanna, Giulia and Erminia, offered friendship and hospitality that extended far beyond the perfunctory cordiality of innkeepers, welcoming us into their ancestral home and proud and eager to share its stories with us."

○ footnotes in grand army plaza ○
joe sacco, whose jawline is considerably stronger than he would have you believe, discussed his new book, footnotes in gaza, thursday night at the brooklyn public library.
i normally try to duck out of these things before the questions and answers begin, but, on this particular occasion, logistical considerations prevented my preemptive escape. which, it turned out, was for the best; i don't think i've ever heard boring questions so compellingly answered, or seen unhinged rants so gracefully received. his spoken words are very nearly as meticulous and engaging as his drawings, and well worth listening to, should the opportunity arise.

20 Games Like Children of Liberty()
Raven's Cry
If you think you know something about pirates, think again.
Raven's Cry plunges you into the dark world of the Golden Age of Piracy, as you follow the story of Christopher Raven and his quest for vengeance against the men who murdered his family. Reality Pump Studios has recreated the world of the 18th century Caribbean in painstaking detail, leaving behind the family-friendly tropes common to portrayals of this era and instead bringing you a gritty, realistic pirate experience like you've never seen before.
Players can immerse themselves in a living, breathing environment just begging to be explored, complete with realistic period architecture and geography. Slash, sail, and shoot your way through a main storyline of 25 hours, along with several side quests, and discover new islands, hidden treasures, and action-packed adventures. Starting out in the filthy, rum-soaked ports of the Caribbean, players will travel to wealthy towns rife with political intrigue, beautiful plantations belonging to ruthless slave-owners, savage South American jungles filled with restless natives, and uncharted mercenary island hideouts. With its robust combat system and captivating storyline, Raven's Cry is a unique gaming experience you don't want to miss.
Super Metroid
Super Metroid is an 2D, side-scrolling action-adventure game, which primarily takes place on the fictional planet Zebes—a large, open-ended world with areas connected by doors and elevators. The player controls Samus Aran as she searches the planet for a Metroid that was stolen by Ridley, the leader of the Space Pirates. Samus can run, jump, crouch, and fire a weapon in eight directions; she can also perform other actions, such as wall jumping—jumping from one wall to another in rapid succession to reach higher areas. The "Moon Walk" ability, named after the popular dance move of the same name, allows Samus to walk backwards while firing or charging her weapon. The heads-up display shows Samus' health, the supply mode for reserve tanks, icons that represent weapons, and an automap that shows her location and its surroundings.

Developed by Texas-based Retro Studios. Metroid Prime brings all of the elements of the acclaimed franchise into a massive 3D arena.

Primal tells the story of Jennifer Tate, a 21-year-old woman searching for her boyfriend through a series of demonic realms. As the story develops, more is revealed about Jen's past and her relationship with her boyfriend, as well as the nature of the demon worlds.
In Primal, the player can control either Jen or Scree as they navigate the realms of Oblivion. As the game progresses, newer demonic forms are obtained, which prove invaluable in solving various puzzles and combat.
Control can be switched between Jen and Scree at any time in game. When in control of one, the other will be operated by AI, performing various functions depending on the situation. During play, the characters can interact with one another, performing actions such as asking questions, or siphoning energy.
When in control of Jen, the player may transform into one of four demonic forms for various purposes, depending on the situation (provided the forms are unlocked). When in a demon form, Jen experiences a boost in attack, defense, speed, attack range and access to abilities unavailable in a human form. The tattoo on Jen's back also glows when in a demon form, corresponding to various forms.
Defeating enemies involves weakening enemies to the point where their hit points reach zero, at which time a finishing move must be performed to kill the enemy. While the moves differ in style and time taken, the final effect remains the same. Enemies can be finished off before the health bar reaches zero, and doing so leaves more residual energy.
While Jen can remain in a demonic form indefinitely, taking damage will reduce health. However, hit points here are represented by demonic energy. When an enemy is killed, the remaining energy can be drained through use of Scree, who can store the energy for when it is needed. Jen can then call on the energy, siphoning it off to replenish her own. Scree can store a vast amount of energy, but also has limits as to how much.
When in control of Scree, the player is invulnerable; Scree, being a gargoyle, cannot suffer damage, making him an effective scout. Scree is capable of climbing on stone walls, a necessary ability when traversing the realms. Scree can also store drained energy from dead enemies, which can be used to replenish Jen's demonic health, though he must remain immobile when doing so.
Scree is revealed to be the long-lost Abdizur, who disappeared following an encounter with the lord of Chaos. In Solus, for a temporary amount of time, the player possesses a life-size statue of Abdizur via Scree, to combat Belhazur when Jen's powers are not fit to do so. The player may also possess other statues in an area under given circumstances.
The player may also happen across various energy crystals, which can be stored and used if Scree's energy reserves are not enough and the player is at low health. These crystals are kept throughout the game, the only exclusion being when revisiting previous scenes, at which point they are reduced to a default amount. This means that the crystals function as extra lives, to a degree.
If Jen is in human form, her health replenishes automatically if she is not in battle (human form only; demon energy must be replenished by either drawing on Scree's reserve energy or, failing that, by using a crystal). While in human form, Jen's health represents her presence in the demon world. If she loses all her health while in human form, she is returned to the human world, where she is in a near-death state. When this happens, the player must direct Scree to the nearest rift gate within a time limit (not seen on screen, though the voice of Arella warns the player that time is running out). If Scree does not reach a rift gate in time, Jen dies, and the game is over.
Throughout the game, constant saving can prove onerous, particularly if the player wishes to backtrack and revisit certain areas. Provided a save game is present, the player may do so, and can revisit nearly all of the locations, once they have been unlocked via an in-game cutscene.

Metal Gear Solid
Metal Gear Solid follows Solid Snake, a soldier who infiltrates a nuclear weapons facility to neutralize the terrorist threat from FOXHOUND, a renegade special forces unit. Snake must liberate two hostages, the head of DARPA and the president of a major arms manufacturer, confront the terrorists, and stop them from launching a nuclear strike. Cinematic cutscenes were rendered using the in-game engine and graphics, and voice acting was used throughout the entire game.
Metal Gear Solid was very well received, shipping more than six million copies, and scoring an average of 94/100 on the aggregate website Metacritic. It is recognized by many critics as one of the best and most important games of all time, and heralded as the game which made the stealth genre popular. The commercial success of the title prompted the release of an expanded version for the PlayStation and PC, titled Metal Gear Solid: Integral, and a remake, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes was later released for the Nintendo GameCube. The game has also spawned numerous sequels, prequels and spin-offs, including several games, a radio drama, comics, and novels.

Sword of the Samurai
Enter Japan in the Age of Warring States. At the center of this role-playing, action-adventure simulation of combat, statesmanship and intrigue, you are a samurai warrior struggling for Honor. More important than life itself, Honor is crucial to achieving your ultimate goal: unifying the country under your noble rule.
In Sword of the Samurai, you will be part of the culture of feudal Japan, and you must learn to live by its rules. To succeed as a samurai, you must think like the samurai. Learn when to leave your sword in its sheath, when to draw it - and what to do with it once it's drawn. You will fight duels, lead troops on the battlefields, and defend your family against assassins and kidnappers. If you are courageous and honorable, you may advance to become the head of your clan, and warlord of your province. If you master diplomacy and generalship, and outmaneuver your rivals, you may even become Shogun - absolute ruler of Japan. But remember that in all cultures power corrupts - and those who seek absolute power don't always play by the rules.

In early 1999, Terry Ball's boss sent her a magazine ad to get her opinion on a file management product from an Orlando, Fla. company. The ad introduced her to Foxtrot, an advanced scripting solution from EnableSoft Inc. that has helped her organization manage customer information for Pacific Capital Bancorp (PCB), a $3.6 billion, multi-bank holding company headquartered in Santa Barbara, Calif.
In June 2000, PCB was named among the 100 top-ranked financial services performers in the United States through December 31, 1999, in two separate industry studies-one by ABA Banking Journal and one by USBanker magazine.
PCB's growing network of independent community banks now serves customers in six counties on California's central coast. The company's holdings include Santa Barbara Bank & Trust and First National Bank of Central California as well as its affiliate, South Valley National Bank. In July 2000, PCB acquired Los Robles Bancorp, the parent company of Los Robles Bank in Ventura County, and San Benito Bank. PCB banks serve more than 104,000 customers representing a total of nearly 175,000 deposit accounts.
Ball is vice president, central operations manager; she and her staff are responsible for all back-office operations including system support, statement preparation, account maintenance and cash vaults for all of PCB's subsidiaries. The company operates an in-house IBM mainframe system.
"At PCB, we try to provide our customers with the best products and services in the most cost-effective way," says Ball. "The challenge for our staff has been converting all the merged systems and keeping the data clean. And since we're planning further expansion, it's critical for us to make sure that all our customer information is always current and accurate. Foxtrot is one of the ways for us to accomplish that objective."
The Foxtrot Solution
Foxtrot is EnableSoft's comprehensive data mass-maintenance technology, which was developed specifically for legacy system users such as PCB. Foxtrot was designed to help organizations enhance operational efficiency, save time and money, and reduce or even eliminate the need for custom programming. Innovative users like Ball have also used Foxtrot to increase fee-income opportunities. Working through a standard terminal emulator that allows Ball to communicate with the IBM host system, Foxtrot enables her to build scripts that drill, mine, extract, move, convert and update host application data.
"It was so easy to set up and use Foxtrot," says Ball, who contacted EnableSoft in July 1999 and received a free trial version of Foxtrot, which sold her on the technology. "We were operational in 15 minutes, so we were using Foxtrot the same day it was implemented."
In July 1999, Ball purchased one seat for the full version of Foxtrot to write the scripts and five seats for the run-time version to run the scripts. She upgraded to Foxtrot 2000 late last year.
Ball considers herself a technical person, so Foxtrot was a snap for her to learn. But she's convinced that the average non-technical person can write basic Foxtrot scripts within a hour of installation. Currently Ball is handling the script writing, but she doesn't anticipate any problems training non-technical staff members to write the scripts or run them.
How Foxtrot Works
Connecting to a host system through a standard terminal emulator, Foxtrot accesses the appropriate database. Using scripts built by technical and non-technical staff members alike, Foxtrot acts as a virtual robot that "keys in" data to the host system from a PC as if someone were entering the information manually. As the script is being built, the results are visible in the host session window, so that it is immediately apparent if script adjustments are needed. Once the script is built and saved to disk, the script can be tested by operating on a few records at a slow rate to monitor any errors. When it's determined that the script is working properly, the "throttle" can be released, allowing Foxtrot to run the script at full speed. Foxtrot's scripts detail the actions the software will perform.
Foxtrot gives Ball control of the company's data as if she has her own team of programmers. [See sidebar "Whose Data Is It Anyway?]
PCB's IT staff initially resisted the use of Foxtrot for security reasons because the perception was that the software accesses the mainframe directly. However, Foxtrot connects to a terminal emulator-not the host system. Security is assured because Foxtrot utilizes all the security protocols already built into PCB's host system. Once the security issues were laid to rest, the IT staff embraced Foxtrot because it relieved them of tedious, time-consuming and error-prone tasks and freed them to manage the company's mission-critical IT projects.
"Our biggest challenge as an organization was keeping up with the day-to-day maintenance of customer data," Ball says. "Our IT staff was swamped because as the company was growing fast, Y2K issues were difficult to handle, and a majority of programming time was spent on new products and services."
Using Foxtrot
"With the development of new and better software applications like Foxtrot, the way we view information has changed dramatically," Ball says. "For example, business accounts generate revenue based on cash deposits through analysis fees. We use Foxtrot to key in data, then retrieve information from the database and run a deposit report every month. What used to take 8.5 man-hours of manual data entry now takes Foxtrot 20 minutes to do automatically. We've noted that revenue generated by these accounts has increased from $2,000 to $20,000 per month."
Ball also uses Foxtrot to extract data from customer accounts and imports the data into Excel documents for analysis. Foxtrot saves her organization time that would have to be spent manually keying in the data.
Customer Satisfaction
According to Ball, Foxtrot has paid for itself very quickly, and she admits that she and her staff haven't even used it to its fullest extent yet. She is exploring other uses for Foxtrot, but she needs to get more people involved.
"We plan to use Foxtrot to perform Customer Information File conversion after future mergers," she says. "Foxtrot will enable us to clean up the converted data much faster because it handles tasks automatically, quickly and accurately."
Ball says she's worked with many software companies over the past 10 years, and she's dealt with her share of frustrating problems. She notes that Foxtrot is the one product that she's been able to install and use without any problems.
"In the financial world, you're dealing with outside companies because you want to stay competitive, and the software sometimes hinders you," Ball explains. "That's just not the case with Foxtrot."
Rick Milam is president and founder of EnableSoft Inc. (Orlando, Fla.).
Whose Data Is It Anyway?I am not a lawyer. I am, however, an avid private pilot and have been involved in the information processing industry for more than 20 years. So although this will not be a detailed legal study, it will be an attempt to combine both my avocation and professional experience into a meaningful analysis. My hope is that, as you read on, you will come to discover the importance of maintaining "control" over your data.
As a not-so-causal observer of the information technology industry, I have been fascinated by the phenomenal growth of companies such as Cisco and Dell. There seems to be no limit to their upward profitability. According to Grady Means and David Schneider, Strategy Consulting Leaders at PricewaterhouseCoopers and authors of MetaCapitalism, a book that predicts and measures changes the Internet is bringing to the corporate world, these are brand-owning companies. Instead of selling products, they sell customer satisfaction. Rather than owning the entire production process, including manufacture and delivery, they choose to only own the brand. In the information technology (IT) industry, we've been on this track for some time. We just call it outsourcing.
In one outsourcing model, the Application Services Provider (ASP) focuses on the care and feeding of the critical core systems. This enables its clients to focus on brands and business processes that serve their customers. The ASP can function as a service bureau separate from the physical plant of the client or it can provide software in either object or source code format operating on hardware installed at the client's facility. With IT professionals in short supply, this has become a very attractive alternative for many financial institutions. In this model, the bank is free from developing its own expensive technical expertise. Instead, it can focus precious capital resources on serving customers, gaining market share and increasing profitability.
This delivery model is effective, but comes with a price. That price is control. It works much the same way as when I engage my auto-pilot while flying. I temporarily relinquish control to a device that is totally engaged in flying the airplane, which frees me to look miles ahead, determine where I'm going and decide what is going to happen next. Since the auto-pilot is focused solely on keeping the dirty side (of the airplane) down, it can actually do a better job of keeping the plane aloft. Yet as the pilot, I am still responsible for the completion of a successful flight. In much the same way, when an organization outsources core processing to an ASP, it has engaged the auto-pilot. Since the ASP's sole focus is on the processes involved with the core systems, it can typically do a better job for less cost. However, even though the organization has divested some functional responsibility, it still "owns" the data and is responsible for the business outcome. Therefore, the organization needs a means by which to access and control their data.
Most ASP providers are eager to provide a method by which their clients can do this. These techniques fall into one of two categories, non-invasive or invasive. Ad-hoc reporting systems, ASP-provided mass maintenance functions and even data warehouses comprise the non-invasive methods. Invasive methods primarily involve custom programming.
There are also non-ASP provided/supported, non-invasive techniques to control and access data, including screen scraping and data scripting. Screen scraping utilizes emulators or browser software to access inquiry screens using user-provided passwords to "scrape" data from the inquiry screen into user databases. Data scripting is a technology whereby data from user databases is essentially "keyed in" by user-generated macro-like scripts that move data to or from the user database to the core system's database.
However, the method an organization chooses to access its data is not nearly as important as the means. Whichever method used, the organization's purpose should be to take control of its data to make business decisions. I've had a great deal of personal experience working with large financial institutions that have outsourced their core application services to ASPs. Without access and control over their own information, these organizations would be unable to effectively perform such functions as automating customer file clean-up for householding, making day-to-day changes for officer codes or creating statement cycle user fields.
Even though another party may provide your core services, the data belongs to you and the right and responsibility to control it is yours. Furthermore, without data access, any outsourcing model, just like the auto-pilot, will be ineffective over the long term. You need the ability to push the button that disengages the auto-pilot, make sound business decisions that affect the future direction of your organization and steer a course free from danger towards a beautiful (and profitable) landing.

Frank Biden, younger brother of the man who is second in line for the White House, has a flair for the dramatic. Last year, he called the Mavericks High charter school in Palm Springs a "hope factory" and said its management company, Mavericks in Education Florida, was "on a mission from God."
Now, he says Mavericks schools are going to "save the country." As he wrote on his blog yesterday:
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
Frank Biden plans to save the country, one student at a time. With the dropout rates in the state of Florida and in the entire nation reaching alarming levels, the brother of US Vice President Joe Biden is dedicated to eradicate eradicating the silent epidemic by serving as the President and Director for Business Development for Mavericks in Education.
Well, it's true. Mavericks does serve students who would otherwise drop out of high school. But the West Palm Beach Beach company is also facing three whistle-blower lawsuits alleging that two of its schools inflate attendance records and improperly alter grades. Many of the Mavericks schools have graduation rates below 15 percent. They score "incomplete" on state report cards because so few students are taking the FCAT.
In February, the Palm Beach County School Board was so concerned about Mavericks' academic record that it denied the company's request to open three new schools. Yet the company continues to profit from its eight existing taxpayer-funded schools.
Is this a trend we should be proud to export to the rest of the nation?

News Movies | Written by Paul Mount 18/02/2013
Richard Briers CBE died peacefully at his London home on 17th February the age of 79, his agent announced this morning. The actor had been suffering from emphysema as a result of a life long addiction to smoking.
Born in Raynes Park in South West London, Richard Briers was the second cousin of fondly-remembered comedy actor Terry-Thomas. During his National Service in the RAF, Briers met actor Brian (George and Mildred) Murphy who introduced him to the dramatic society at the Borough Polytechnic Institute. He studied at RADA between 1954 and 1956 and eventually found his way onto TV in the classic sitcom Marriage Lines (1961-66) with Prunella Scales and regular TV and stage appearances throughout he 1960s and 1970s followed. In 1975 he starred in the BBC sitcom The Good Life with Felicity Kendal, Penelope Keith and Paul Eddington and between 1984 - 1989 as busybody Martyn Bryce in BBC1's comedy Ever Decreasing Circles. Richard Briers worked consistently on stage and TV throughout the 1980s and 1990s appearing in shows as diverse as Lovejoy, Inspector Morse, New Tricks, Kingdom and a regular role in BBC Sunday night drama Monarch of the Glen from 2000 to 2002. In 1987 he appeared as the Hitler-esque Caretaker in the Sylvester McCoy Doctor Who serial 'Paradise Towers' and in 2008 he appeared in Torchwood's 'A Day in the Death' in which he played a dying bed-ridden recluse. Briers was also a member of Kenneth Branagh's Renaissance Theatre Company and he enjoyed great acclaim in many of Branagh's Shakepearean film adaptations including Henry V, Hamlet and Much Ado About Nothing. He received the OBE in 1989 and the CBE in 2003.
Ill-health slowed down Richard Briers' career in later years but as recently as last year he appeared as a machine-gun blazing pensioner in James Moran's Cockneys Vs Zombies alongside fellow veterans such as Honor Blackman, Tony Selby and Dudley Sutton.
Richard briers is survived by his wife, actress Ann Davies (remembered by Doctor Who fans from her role as resistance fighter Jenny in the 1964 TV serial 'The Dalek Invasion of Earth') and his daughters Lucy and Katie.
