Divorce does not have to mean destruction. Over our decades of practice, we have seen first-hand the pain that ugly and needlessly punitive legal tactics can create for families and children. We believe there's a better way.
Our attorneys seek to obtain the best possible financial and custody agreements for our clients, but at a lesser emotional and financial cost. While we will always seek to resolve matters by agreement, it is not possible to resolve every matter by agreement. If an agreement cannot be negotiated then our attorneys are fully prepared to litigate all issues that might arise in family law disputes. Our approach to the divorce process seeks to minimize the damage, particularly as it affects children.
We assert our clients' financial and personal interests with a strong hand. At the same time, we conduct our practice with integrity, honesty, and professionalism.
Compassionate Support
Going through a divorce is always a difficult experience. Our attorneys and staff offer compassionate support and reasoned guidance as individuals navigate the dissolution of a marriage. We become our client's advocate, in every sense.
Colaborative Divorce
In some situations, a collaborative divorce offers a desirable and less adversarial option. We are happy to explain and explore the potential advantages and disadvantages of this relatively new approach. Collaborative Divorce offers an alternative to the negativity and "win/lose" perspective of contested litigation; it requires that both spouses participate and deal honestly with one another. Many of our attorneys are trained and experienced Collaborative Family Law Practitioners.
Protecting the Children
Every parent worries about the impact of divorce on their child or children. For peace of mind, we encourage parents to be certain that reconciliation is not possible before finalizing legal action.
When custody agreements and parenting plans are negotiated, we help our clients consider and protect the children's true, best interests. By avoiding legal tactics that are needlessly destructive to family relationships, we seek to preserve parent-child relationships. We do not advocate actions or tactics that are harmful to children. In fact, our attorneys emphasize solutions that can allow positive co-parenting in the future.

Tuition, Aid, & Affordability
A strong financial aid program supports Sewickley Academy's commitment to diversity within our student body. Qualified, motivated students are encouraged to apply to Sewickley Academy irrespective of financial need. Approximately 18% of students receive tuition assistance. Our financial budget for the 2016 - 2017 school year is $1.7 million.
Grants are awarded on the basis of demonstrated financial need. Financial aid is available to students in PK through Grade 12; however, aid is primarily available to families of students enrolled in Grades 6-12. Once a financial aid commitment is made to a family, continuing assistance can be anticipated as long as financial need continues to be demonstrated.
The financial aid program at Sewickley Academy is need-based. When the family of an accepted student demonstrates financial need, the school makes every effort to help offset the cost of a Sewickley Academy education according to that family's particular need. Aid decisions are guided by financial data submitted to Financial Aid for School Tuition (FAST) by Independent School Management (ISM), and by review of the application data by Sewickley Academy's Financial Aid Committee.
There are no merit-based scholarships available at Sewickley Academy. All aid is need-based.
Tuition 2017 - 2018
Each additional afternoon for PK-K:
$380 for full year
Grades 1-5:
Grades 6-8:
Grades 9-12:
A one-time, non-refundable enrollment fee of $1,500 is payable when the enrollment contract is signed and submitted. This is a one-time fee and does not reduce first-year tuition costs.
Meal Fees

Important Financial Aid Information
List of 6 items.
FAST Financial Aid Application Process
In order for us to allocate our resources wisely and fairly, we have enlisted the help of the Financial Aid for School Tuition (FAST) program by Independent School Management (ISM). ISM's FAST does not decide whether financial assistance will be given or how much to give. Rather, FAST provides a need-based financial aid analysis service. FAST provides the school with a report, which includes a recommendation of what a family should reasonably contribute toward tuition. All information from FAST is kept confidential.
Please note that Sewickley Academy is not able to meet the full amount of the recommended contribution for every family. FAST assumes each member school will recalculate aid awards based on the school's particular aid policies, and such re-calculation is a routine part of the financial aid process.
Applications are reviewed by the Academy's Financial Aid Committee which makes determinations on the level of aid a family qualifies for. The Office of Admission then notifies families of the Academy's financial aid offer.
In addition to completing the FAST application, families are required to mail copies of their Federal 2016 1040, including all schedules, State 2016 Tax Return, and W-2's directly to ISM at the address listed below.
Steps to Complete Financial Aid Application
Visit the FAST website
. The application process is self-guided. You may navigate in and out of the program which allows you to partially complete an application and go back to it at another time. A helpline is available 24 hours a day by calling 1-877-326-FAST. If you do have questions, please call the FAST hotline, as Sewickley Academy will not be able to answer questions regarding the FAST application.
After completing the online application, you are required to mail a copy of your 2016 Federal Tax Return, 2016 State Tax Return, all schedules, and W-2's to:
FAST Processing
c/o Sewickley Academy
1316 North Union Street
Wilmington, DE 19806-2594
Please note that all financial aid requests, including financial information and award amounts, are kept completely confidential. Families are expected to keep the amount of their award confidential.
To be included in the initial round of financial aid processing, the deadline for submitting the FAST application and mailing your tax information to FAST is
March 1, 2017
. The deadline for the second round of processing is
April 15, 2017
. As always, our financial aid budget is fixed, so the sooner you apply, the better.
Aid is awarded annually and for one year at a time. Thus, all aid recipients must repeat the full application process each year. If a family does not meet the deadlines or follow all the steps correctly, they may not be funded.
Returning families receiving financial aid will receive a reminder from the Financial Aid Office to reapply in early winter. If tax forms have not been completed, families should use estimated figures to complete the FAST Application. Once tax forms have been filed, copies should be sent directly to ISM to verify estimated figures. Returning families will be informed of the financial aid decision sometime in early March.
New families to the Academy should apply for admission and financial aid concurrently, but please be aware that the admission and financial aid processes are distinct and separate.
Parental Responsibilities & Family Assets
The following are some specific policies relating to financial aid at Sewickley Academy:
Separated or Divorced Parents
Sewickley Academy expects parents to pay the educational costs for their children to the full extent they are financially able. This principle applies to all parents, even those who are separated or divorced. The Academy is not able to honor any decrees, agreement, or legal document excusing a parent from financial responsibility for a child's education. Nor will Sewickley Academy be bound by a parent who has disclaimed financial responsibility for the student.
Both parents are expected to file all of the necessary forms and to comply fully with all of the guidelines and requirements of the aid process. Thus, tax returns and forms are required of all parents. The custodial and non-custodial parent must each fill out the FAST application. Re-marriage of either natural parent creates a new family unit with new relationships, but since the parents still have a parental obligation, the income and assets of the entire family unit (including new family units and step-parents) are viewed as relevant for the purposes of calculating a family's level of need. Sewickley Academy considers the obligations of the parents to their new family situation in determining the award, but will not allocate the award on a proportional basis among the families. The responsibility for communication and payment lies with the custodial parent.
Parents Voluntarily Reducing Income
The Academy's policy is to decline to subsidize financial aid for a parent's voluntary reduction in income (i.e. voluntarily terminating employment, choosing to start a business, etc.). It is assumed that the parent has considered the impact such a choice would have on their ability to afford the cost of a Sewickley Academy education, and that such a change could prevent a child from enrolling or returning to school. This situation results in a calculation of need on the basis of the family's income before the voluntary reduction. Returning to school, for professional or graduate work, or to change careers, is considered a voluntary reduction in income and is treated accordingly.
Non-Working Parents
Sewickley Academy expects families to do their utmost to provide for an Academy education. Where one parent chooses not to work and has children who are in school full-time, the Financial Aid Committee will re-calculate need using an imputed, minimum income for the non-working parent. Note that this policy does not require the parent to work. It only attempts to adjust the level of need by accounting for the minimum income that the parent could earn if he or she chose to return to work. If a parent can document that he or she is disabled or otherwise unable to work (caring for an aged parent, for example), this policy would not apply. The rationale for this policy is similar to that for voluntary reductions in income (see above).
Trust and/or "College" Funds
Trust funds and/or funds or accounts ear-marked "For College" are considered student assets and are treated accordingly. While it may not be possible for a family to tap the principal of such funds, the existence of the funds means that more of the family's current income is available for tuition.
Loan Programs
Please visit
Your Tuition Solution site
Payment Options
Two options are available for paying tuition. The first requires 60% of the annual tuition to be paid in early August, with the remainder due in early January. The other option is a monthly budget plan, offered by PNC Bank. Tuition is paid in seven to ten equal installments between June and March. There is a small application and monthly fee.
Our Mission
Sewickley Academy inspires and educates students to engage their hearts, minds, and hands to cultivate their full individual and collective potential in the service of a greater good.
Financial Aid Code of Conduct
Financial aid is one way in which we support families drawn to the mission of the school.
Our school provides financial aid on a need basis.
Our school determines need through a process that is equitable for all applicants.
Our school does not manipulate that process to the advantage of one applicant over another.
Our school does not use financial aid to compete with other private-independent schools.

HP iPaq Glisten Is Strictly Business
HP iPaq Glisten
PCWorld Rating
The name "iPaq" evokes distant memories of those monolithic PDAs from a decade ago. Fortunately, the HP iPaq Glisten ($180 with a two-year contract from AT&T; price as of 12/15/09) looks nothing like its ancestors. But its operating system, however, makes the Glisten feel like it is stuck in the past--it runs the basic Windows Mobile 6.5 user interface.
Slightly resembling an older BlackBerry Curve, the Glisten's front face is split between a 2.5-inch display and a full QWERTY keyboard. The Glisten is attractive and will look right at home in any executive boardroom with its soft black rubberized body and silver detailing. The Glisten feels great in the hand as well, though it is a bit on the larger side compared with other phones that have similar designs.
Rather than a trackball or trackpad, the Glisten has a circular directional pad surrounded by your standard Windows Mobile array of hardware buttons: Talk, Start menu, OK, and End. The top of the Glisten has the Power button and a dedicated Wi-Fi on/off key. The left side has the volume rocker, and the right side has both a mini-USB port and a standard 3.5-mm headphone jack. A stylus is on the bottom.
One of the Glisten's best features is its keyboard: With its large, rounded keys and variety of customizable shortcut keys, it is of the same caliber as the BlackBerry Bold's keyboard. The letters are clearly marked and nicely backlit, so I had no trouble reading them.
The Glisten has a gorgeous AMOLED touch display, though it's a bit small. AMOLED technology boasts brighter colors, better viewing angles, and longer battery life. The touch display was fairly responsive, but I sometimes found that it reacted slowly to my gestures and swipes. And unfortunately, this great screen seems sort of wasted on the lackluster user interface.
Unlike with the Samsung Omnia 2 or the HTC Tilt 2, there's no touch-friendly or aesthetically pleasing overlay running over the Windows Mobile 6.5 OS. While version 6.5 is a big improvement in usability over 6.0, it is still difficult to navigate--especially on a touchscreen this small.
When you first turn on the phone, you're greeted with the Today screen, which lists shortcuts to your text messages, e-mail accounts, photos, music and more. Scrolling through this screen on phones with larger displays is a much smoother experience; again, I found the 2.5-inch display cramped. Like other Window Mobile phones, you can sync the Glisten with your Outlook calendar and e-mail account. Upcoming appointments or new e-mails will show up on this screen.
The Windows Mobile Start screen displays your icons in a honeycomb pattern. You can customize the Start menu with a background image and add more widgets and applications to it via the Microsoft Marketplace. Move preferred icons to the top by pressing down on them for a few seconds. Thankfully, you no longer have to use the tiny scroll bar to navigate through the menu; instead, you can flick the screen to scroll to the bottom.
The Glisten ships with the updated Internet Explorer Mobile. To zoom into a page on Internet Explorer Mobile, you tap twice on the area that you want to enlarge. Though the effect isn't as slick as the multitouch pinch-to-zoom control, it works just fine. Browsing is adequate overall, but again, the small screen makes it difficult to navigate around content-heavy pages. The Glisten also has Wi-Fi connectivity, which allowed quicker Web surfing than AT&T's 3G Network.
Call quality was solid for the most part, though one of my contacts noted that my voice sounded slightly distant. I also heard a faint hiss over most of my calls, though it wasn't distracting.
In its multimedia capabilities, the iPaq Glisten is a bit disappointing. The bland Windows Media Player supports MP3, AAC(+), WMA, and MIDI audio formats; and MPEG, WMV, H.263, and H.264 video formats. Audio quality was adequate, but video playback was choppy and a bit pixelated.
The 3.1-megapixel camera was a bit of a letdown. While the Glisten has a flash, my indoor photos still looked dark, and the details lacked sharpness. There was also a slight shutter lag, so a few of my pictures came out fuzzy. The Glisten also comes with HP's Photosmart Mobile software for editing photos.
Support for Microsoft's Mobile Office Suite and Exchange, paired with the excellent keyboard, makes the HP iPaq Glisten a solid business device. But the size of the touchscreen, along with the bare-bones Windows Mobile OS just isn't very user-friendly and detracts from the phone's overall experience. Also, if you want to use your phone for taking casual snapshots and playing videos, you'll likely be disappointed with the Glisten. The previously mentioned Samsung Omnia II (Verizon) or the HTC Tilt 2 (AT&T) might be stronger alternatives, as they not only offer all of the great enterprise features of Windows Mobile, but also have larger touchscreens and more multimedia options.

I orginally installed the MDS Service with BES 4.1.4. I developed few applications and published them to my BES. I was able to deploy the applications no problem.
Recently I upgraded to BES 4.1.6, now when I try to access the MDS console through the BlackBerry Manager it prompts for an SSL Certification. I installed the Certificate and entered the admin username and password. Once I've done that the MDS Integration Services panel says the following error:
There are errors in retrieving data from the server. Please refer to the log for more information.
In the Windows Event Log I see the following error:
CMDSAGView: Bad hResult, -2147467261 - Object reference not set to an instance of an object., from AG web service call MDSAGAdminMgmt(testWsAccess - getServerStatus. Asking user to get SSL certificate.)
Now I did read somewhere (dont remember where) that RIM says to go the MDS web console to install the certificate then you should be able to access the MDS Console from the BlackBerry Manager. The URL to the MDS web console is: https://BESSERVER:7443/mds-admin
Now when I go to this web site I get the error saying "There is ap roblem with this websites security certificate" (IE). I clicked on Continue to this website and it prompts for a username and password. I tpye it in then I get a 404 Error file not found. After doing alot of Googling I found this site: http://www.blackberryforums.com.au/forums/blackber
This site states that with the SP5/SP6 4.1.6 that web console doesnt work anymore.
Now if i go back to the BlackBerry Manager, click on my MDS tab, it prompts that I have to install the Certificate, but again this doesnt work even after I install the certificate.
I am lost. How I can access the MDS section of the BlackBerry Manager in 4.1.6?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the tip. However it looks like IE automatically put it there in the first place. I did manually force it to put it back in the Trusted Root but it didnt help any either.
Any other idea? Maybe?
I've not had a problem managing MDSS / MDS-IS when doing it this way.
I would launch the certificate manager on the machine, and remove any of the MDSS/MDS-IS certificates and then try reinstalling them.
I looked through the entire list and couldnt find anyhting w/ MDS. Only one I did find related to this server was one that was called the server name. If I removed it, then in the Blackberry Manager would prompt me again for hte certificate but still wouldnt get anywhere.
I did try to regenerate a new certificate using the jks-generate.bat file. I used the standard changeme key...maybe i broke it using this. I odnt know. Is there anyway to change the policy so the BB devices can search the repository? that would be a temporary fix because right now I have it blocked that the users cannot search it.
Check these:
The first link wont work because RIM removed the apache all together in SP5/SP6.
I'll try the second link tommorow at work as I need some information from the domain controller expert. I'll let you know if we get anywhere.
Thanks again for the tips
We found the issue and resolved it:
Thanks for the help everyone!

Remember the days when a superstar's main-priority single was usually released a few months before the album release? Well, those days are now long gone. With a week until his new album The Marshall Mathers LP 2 release, Eminem decides to collaborate with Rihanna again for a potential smash called "Monster" which was released this evening. Once you're finished listening to this track, you will know that this is heading straight for pop radio. Replicating the singles formula of the past two albums, some Eminem fans who may want him to stay in pre-Relapse/Recovery mode may turn this down, but those who like "Love The Way You Lie" will turn it up. Hip Hop heads, you do have "Rap God," you know.
To hear "Monster," check it out below.

Phoronix have launched an ATI Linux driver blog
In an effort to get a better understanding for the current state of ATI's proprietary fglrx Linux display drivers, and to provide the alternative OS community with more facts as well as in-house comments, Phoronix has on June 1st, 2006 announced the creation of redblog.phoronix.com. This blog will focus on the Phoronix Editor-In-Chief personally evaluating ATI's current Linux drivers for 50-days -- simply think of it as an ATI Linux review for an extended amount of time. While over a year ago the quality of the red's Linux display drivers could be refuted, they certainly have improved by near light-years when it comes to their installation strategy, performance, bug issues, and variety of cards supported -- among other areas. But how well does this ATI experience come first hand? Are gamers and computer enthusiasts alike now ready to accept ATI's current Linux display drivers for prime-time action? For those GNU/Linux users with proprietary display drivers, you already know what all the fuss is about but for the rest the information is in the blog. This blog can be found at redblog.phoronix.com, and be sure to tune into its RSS feed for the latest commentary.

Movie SummaryEarth (1996)
Description: Dressed in blinding white, carrying a strange pack upon his back and a toxin-spewing wand, comes exterminating Angel and his similarly clad army to the scorched, crimson earth of Aragon wine country, to destroy the insects that give the wine it's unique flavor. There Angel fines himself falling in love with a homely cuckolded wife Angela who only stays with her cheating husband for her daughter's sake. He also falls for the town's teenage tramp, the white-hot black-leather wearing Mari, who falls in love with him after one passionate night. This off-beat Spanish romance, made with a dash of cosmic pretensions, chronicles his relationships with the two women while also dealing with his strange relationship to his alter ego who may or may not be, an angel.~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide Movie summaries and listings powered by Cinema-Source

Part 1 of the diary of a 15yr-old schoolgirl slut.
Look, I'm Katie. I'm writing this because I have to tell someone who won't judge. Or even if you do I won't know about it. Like thousands of others I'm a nymphomaniac but probably where I differ from the standard nympho is that I'm 15 years old. Another difference is I don't care really, I like being a slut, and I LOVE sex.
The feelings I get when I'm fucking, I don't know if everyone gets them like I do, but it's the best rush I've ever felt. I'm still in school, I'm in my 10th year. I suppose I should help you picture me better so here goes;
I'm 5"6, I spend every Monday night performing with a dance troupe so I stay slim, I have blonde straight hair that's fairly long and deep green eyes. Although I'm a little slutty I don't dress like one and if I wasn't in my (ordinary, not pornstar) school uniform I'd probably be in tight jeans and a cleavage showing shirt. I developed early, and to my credit I'm packing a pair of 32Ds that I get from my mom, but there's no way she can pull it off as well as I can.
I don't have a boyfriend, they're too regular. I have a big group of friends though, with plenty of boys in it. Sometimes the urge, or rather the itch will just strike me in the middle of a lesson and I'll have no choice but to sneak a finger into my panties and rub my clit whilst trying to concentrate on Mr. Daplin's double maths, which is hard enough, 'cause he's pretty hot. Sometimes that's not even enough, sometimes I have to fuck. I lost my virginity 2 years ago to a boy I knew through friends at a drunken party. I knew I loved masturbating before then, loved the feeling of my fingers brushing over my clit and something in my pussy; fingers, one of my mom's dildos and even cock-shaped vegetables. Nothing can compare to the feeling of someone inside me though, so when I get the urge in the middle of class, or in the break, or at lunch. I long for sex, wherever it might be.
It was on one such day that I first had sex at school. It was 3rd period and I was stuck in English bored. I was trying to focus on the nuance in onomatopoeia between hamlet and midsummer nights dream when I felt an itch in my panties. The kind of itch of desire that demands to be scratched. I resisted for a while, but it was pulling my mind out of focus so I subtly looked around to see if no one was watching and eased my hand into my panties. I was wearing a red thong that day, more like anal floss than underwear, but it was all that I had that wasn't dirty and man did it make me feel sexy. I slipped two fingers onto my clit and started gently rubbing myself in circles over my spot. I was making myself hotter with every rub but it wasn't enough, it was no way near enough.
A boy sitting next to me, James, raised his hand "Ms. Ecclestone, can I go to the toilet I'm desperate."
"Okay James, but be quick." She said. James was about 6ft tall, intelligent but not un-athletic with brown messy hair. He was quite cute, and I was god-damn horny. "Ms. Ecclestone, can I go to the nurse? I don't feel well." I said with my hand up.
"Mmm ok Katie, you do look a little flushed" she replied in a concerned tone. I was gnna get James to fuck me, and it was beginning to show on my face.
I tried to resist the urge to rub my thighs together as I walked out of the room, I managed it just. I didn't head for the nurse's room though, I knew exactly what I needed. Instead I headed for the nearest boys' bathroom in search of James, he could give me what I needed and what I craved, nothing more than his hands on my body and his cock deep in my pussy.
I opened the door to the boys' bathroom, the creepy urinal things always weird me out, James was there by the sinks washing his hands. He didn't look up as I came in the room but as I leant on one of the stalls and crossed my arms across my chest he looked up with a curious look on his face that turned into one of surprise. "Hey," I said, running my tongue over my bottom lip in anticipation. Fuck it, I need what he can give me, my urge was getting worse and it was becoming intolerable. "Hey" he answered, "why are you in here? It's the boys' bathroom."
"Hmmm" I said, but decided to dispense with this needless digression and cut to the chase. I simply pushed myself off the stall and flew over to him. He turned to face me fully, a little defensive, and leant against the basin. I leant into his body and stroked my hands around his slim waist, "Oh" he said, and leant in to kiss me forcefully. His tongue slipped into my mouth and I wrestled with it, my tongue dancing over his teeth. The itch between my legs was stronger now, I was wet through my panties and I knew that if I didn't remove them soon I'd leave a stain on the groin of my school trousers. The warmth emanating from my groin spread down through my legs and into my stomach, making me hornier and hornier as his tongue danced with my tonsils. He moaned into my mouth and I moaned back. I remember being conscious of how long he had been gone, it had already been a couple of minutes but I needed his cock, I could feel it pressing against my belly button, it was big as far as I could tell, and I wanted it inside me.
"I need your cock" I whispered into his mouth, "I need you to fuck me, I really need you to make me cum."
"Mmgm" he moaned in an unintelligible reply around my tongue, which had resumed its excavation of his mouth and tried to push me against the basin. I might be a slut in even my own eyes, but there was no way that I was going to let him fuck me where anyone could walk in and hold it against me. I pushed back and he gave way to me, I pushed him into the stall and he fell onto the toilet. "Pants off." I ordered, desire burning in my eyes. He didn't waste any time obeying my commands, just as I didn't waste any time pulling my school-issue conservative trousers down over my ankles. As his briefs came down, his cock sprang free, it was big for his age, but it would obviously grow a little more before it got to adulthood. It still had to be about 7" though, I didn't care at this point if it was 4" or 14", I just needed it in me.
I would never waste time like this and I leant down and engulfed his cock in my mouth in one free motion, I bobbed a few times to get him all lubed up because although there was a veritable river flowing from my pussy it couldn't help to taste what was about to break me in two and scream out in ecstasy. I licked his shaft like a lollipop in haste, I was impatient for my release now, and I really wanted him to cum inside my slutty cunt, and not down my mutually slutty throat. I stopped what must have been the fastest blowjob he'd ever had before he could blow his load and kissed him full on the mouth, he moaned into my tongue as I used one hand to guide his dick into my opening and hold him there. I broke our kiss, interlocked my fingers in his messy brown hair, looked him in the eyes and with a devilish smile at the look of pleading on his face, I plunged myself onto his length. I knew it would feel good, but I expected to be in full control, instead as soon as I impaled myself on him, he moved his large hands from my waist to my nipples and twisted, hard. I couldn't help myself, I screamed, loud.
I continued to moan after he let my nipples go and started to bounce me up and down on his lap, impaling me so deep with every thrust that I felt mini-orgasms emanate from my g-spot every time his head forced it's way past it deeper into me. My moaning had gotten him close, I could tell he didn't want to blow yet because he slowed down his thrusting, trying to pace himself. I leant into his ear and whispered: "pinch my nipples James, make me cum with you."
Immediately his pace quickened again, once again slamming his length into me. He reached out and twisted both my nipples again, it sent shockwaves of pain through my belly that mingled with the pleasure his cock was causing. It wasn't enough though, I knew he only had a minute or so to last, so I brushed my fingers towards my clit, teasing my entire body and bringing myself close to cumming just with anticipation. When I reached my clit and started to rub in circles, just like I love, I lost all thought of time or noise, I moaned loud and proudly, someone must have heard me, my fingers mixed with his cock and his hands on my nipples had me basically climaxing with every thrust.
I could feel his cock getting harder, swelling inside me with anticipation of his release, he muttered through clenched teeth "oh fuck goddamn I'm gnna cum." His words turned me on even more, and the knowledge that he was gnna empty his seed into my 15yr-old pussy threw me over the edge, I screamed, even louder than before as pulse after pulse of ecstasy wracked my body, literally shaking me on his cock. My shaking threw him over the edge and I had another earth-shattering climax at the feeling of his cum shooting deep inside me during which my world contracted, all I knew at that moment was my own body, I felt like I thrummed with energy, but at the same time I was totally exhausted. It was this feeling that I craved, the ultimate rush of adrenaline that one can only attain through a mind-blowing orgasm.
We rested like that for a moment, but he regained his senses soon after and pulled his still hard cock out of me with a 'pop' that released a flow of cum and rushed out of the stall, I heard him muttering to himself and then the door to the toilets close. I had a little more time than him though, as Ms. Ecclestone thought I had gone to the nurse, James had still been gone nearly 10 minutes, and it would probably mean detention for us both if I waited another 10, but as I lay there I knew 2 things: that I didn't care how much trouble I would get into, and that whatever it would be, it was totally worth it.

Investing back home : return migration and business ownership in Albania
In view of its increasing importance, and the dearth of information on return migration and its impacts on source households, this study uses data from the 2005 Albania Living Standards Measurement Study survey and assesses the impact of past migration experience of Albanian households on non-farm business ownership through instrumental variables regression techniques. Moreover, considering the differences in earning potentials and opportunities for skill acquisition in different destination countries, the impact of household past migration experience is differentiated by main migrant destinations, namely Greece and Italy. The study also tests for the hypothesis of the existence of migration cycles, by differentiating the time spent abroad based on the year of return. The empirical results indicate that household past migration experience exerts a positive impact on the probability of owning a non-farm business. While one additional year in Greece increases the probability of household business ownership by roughly 7 percent, a similar experience in Italy or further destinations raises the probability by over 30 percent. Although past migration experience for the period 1990-2000 is positively associated with the likelihood of owning a household enterprise, a similar impact does not materialize for the period 2001-2004. The latter finding seems suggestive of the fact that more recent migrants are yet to attain a target level of required savings and skills in order to successfully establish a new business upon return.

Re: Analog Audiophile
Well, I've read a dozen or so of Bill's blog posts. He seems to feel that music of any kind sorta became digital crap around 1984 and there's been nothing redeemable released ever since. That's too bad, because I think a lot of digitally-posted audio sounds excellent (along with a lot of over-processed junk which, let's face it, WAS the '80s new wave sound). But no one can tell me that all recordings made in the last 20 years with super-clean mics, digitizing rigs and mixdown systems sound monochromatic and sterile compared to similar efforts of 30 years ago (especially since I've actually done some recording and mixing of digital audio using ProTools myself). That's like saying Edison's sound rolls are superior in tonal accuracy than the magnetic tape that eventually succeeded them. Oops, I think he does think that.
Still, I applaud anyone who takes the effort to blog their feelings and ideas on a regular basis; it's extremely hard work and very time-consuming. On the other hand, there is a (fair) notion that many bloggers are navel-gazers who find their own voices charming. I'll leave it to other readers to decide where on the value spectrum these analog blogs belong.

Re: Analog Audiophile
[QUOTE=GrtGrfx;26072] ------(especially since I've actually done some recording and mixing of digital audio using ProTools myself).---
1. I wanted to ask the question about Analogue VS Digital music. I jumped at the availability of CDs in the 1980s. I bought the very first CD player available here Sony CPD-101, I think. No more stylus tracking weight adjustment, bias correction and reluctunt to loan the Vinyl (LP) to friends in fear of overtracking and generally suseptible to damage. CDs were so convenient to slip it in the caddy and press play and could be loaned out without fear od damage. After many years of this and I began to feel that may be all is not as it appears after reading what analogue audiophiles were saying. Then I found this a couple years ago in this website- http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/question487.htm. The trace clearly shows even ay 96khz sampling, the form is no where near the analogue trace. The sampling would have to be an infinite number to faithfully reproduce the trace!! So I feel the digitised signal will remain "unfaithful" to the original signal (and more so by the conversion process necessary). Is my perception too simplistic? 2. As for recent recordings, many engineers are tending to join in the "loudness" war. So the recording are louder at the expense of dynamics. 3. Studios now seem to be mixing by listening to "near-field" monitors which in my opinion will make the final product suitable to fit different environments (listening rooms) but deprive the more serious listeners to enyoy the "original" sound. I hope there will be some responses to my above points. William |

Re: Analog Audiophile
You understand. don't you, that just as your eyes "fool you" into perceiving more colors and shades of gray than you can really see (like on TV or in a movie theater, for example), your brain "fools you" when you listen to recorded sounds to make up for the parts that are missing or wrong. People can listen to MP3s, with their loss of quality, because their brains fill in the missing information to make the audio sound okay. Your mind fills in the blanks all the time, filtering out what you don't need to perceive, focusing narrowly and enhancing that which you're interested in.
If you are searching for pristine audio in recorded media, it was never really there in the first place; the best recordings cannot capture all the waveforms of a live event, modern studio recordings sound nothing like live music anyway since the microphones dump right into digital recorders, your ears, after the age of, say, 30, are increasingly fallible, and the most important aspect of your listening experience is usually how your room is shaped and what furniture you own, not your reproduction chain. Given all this, I take with a pretty big grain of salt the position of many audio purists who think that by extracting every single gram of fidelity out of their sources and reproductive gear, they can reach audio nirvana. It's just not that likely for most individuals, either due to the limitations of their listening environment or the fallibility of their own bodies. The only point you made that I really agree is important is that engineers are indeed squashing recordings to get uniformly loud music out of portable and mobile equipment, and that's a loss for everyone with more to listen with than laptops, cars and iPhones. This means if you want better recordings, vote with your dollars for artists that insist on quality engineering for their music. If more people buy Paul Simon (a fidelity purist) and less Britney Spears, we'll wind up with less compressed recordings and better-sounding music. Oh, and as far as near-field monitors, that's nothing new. Studios have used small desktop monitors and headphones since the dawn of record engineering. But it's for mixdowns, not final mastering. Most studios (and individuals who record their music DIY) play back their final mixes on normal speakers in larger rooms to see what their music sounds like in the "world". Best, Eric

For over 30 years, English Country Cottages has featured Hungate Cottages in its brochure.A short stroll from the heart of this charming old country town, Hungate Cottages are tucked away with a delightful 'secret garden' atmosphere of peace and tranquillity. A wonderful holiday location, with the vast and magnificent North York Moors on the doorstep, there is easy access to the beautiful east coast, the city of York and a whole host of fascinating places to visit. Outstanding comfort and style of these cottages, combined with a superb location, makes this an ideal all-year holiday destination.Pickering is a delight - old fashioned friendliness and an unhurried pace of life combine with charming old inns, 12th-century castle, museums, and remarkable medieval frescoes in the local church, and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway takes visitors on a nostalgic journey through spectacular heather-clad moorland scenery to Grosmont. City of York 26 miles. Castle Howard, setting for TV's Brideshead Revisited, Nunnington Hall (NT), Duncombe Park, and Rievaulx Abbey, are just a few treasures to discover. York offers the majestic minster, the fascinating Jorvik Viking Centre, the Castle Museum, the National Railway Museum, and excellent shopping facilities. On the east coast lie Scarborough and Bridlington, the picturesque fishing villages of Robin Hood's Bay, and Staithes, and the fascinating old port of Whitby, with its Captain Cook connections, as well as 3 miles of sandy beaches and a colourful harbour, while the popular resort of Scarborough is 17 miles away offering excellent shopping and family entertainment. Closer to home visitors can enjoy free use of Pickering's swimming-pool, just 3 minutes' walk away, good cycling in Dalby Forest (bikes can be hired in Pickering), as well as forest walks, fishing, pony trekking and golf. Local cricket pitch 50 yards. Shops 200 yards.THE CHARACTER OF HUNGATEThe cottages have been converted with great flair by the owners, Mike and Sue Kitching, from the outbuildings of Hungate House. The delightful setting includes eight secluded gardens, courtyards and an orchard, as well as an enclosed play area with basket swing and wendy house for children. The gardens are beautiful and peaceful, and have been well kept, to ensure a relaxing environment. They are a real haven in a lovely Yorkshire town. Each cottage retains much character, with old stone arches, fireplaces and beams carefully retained. Immaculately maintained, warm, clean and superbly well-equipped with free high speed Wi-fi, these cottages are truly a 'home from home'. No wonder so many visitors return time and again. The owners provide plenty of helpful information on the huge choice of places to visit, as well as menus from the local restaurants. Visitors have unlimited free use of Pickering's swimming pool, 1 free multi-entry car pass to Dalby Forest (two passes with Hungate Garden Cottage - ICH), free entry to Eden Camp, an exciting children's adventure playground, and free entry to Ryedale Folk Musem. Free entry for Eden Camp and Ryedale Folk Museum are only applicable for stays of 7 nights or more.Hungate is best summed up by a visitor who wrote, "There was nothing more we could have wished for in a holiday home. We loved the fire, the free logs and little touches such as fresh flowers – it felt like home. The children loved the freedom of the gardens and could not wait to get home from our excursions! We loved coming and going through the heavy black gate into an oasis in this nice town."

Robert Goldberg of Drug Wonks appears to have flipped his lid. His latest writing, which is purportedly about comparative effectiveness trials is so riddled with errors that it's bad even by Drug Wonks standards! Making it worse is that Goldberg's tirade appears in the Washington Times as an op-ed. Granted, op-eds are not held to the same standard as regular news, but even throwing in some "truthiness" would have been a nice touch.
For all the gruesome details, head over to Health Care Renewal. You won't believe it. For background on the blog for which Goldberg writes, please read an earlier post.

I wish I had counted the number of times the word productivity has been used today here at MRO Europe during conference sessions.
Dr. Orkun Hasekioglu, IT manager of Turkish Technic, said 60% of a technician's time often can be billed at a typical MRO. The rest of the time is spent looking for parts, tooling, documentation etc.
Don't let that statistic fool you: Turkish Technic, TAP, airberlin technik and others have robust projects underway to make processes more efficient. MROs are making big efficiency gains and saving money at the same time.

Lymphedema refers to swelling that can in occur in your arms or legs. It is often a side effect of cancer treatment as a result of the removal or damage of lymph nodes. If your lymph nodes aren't draining well, the fluid buildup can lead to swelling. One way to manage this swelling is the use of physical therapy.
The outpatient therapy services at San Ramon Regional Medical Center offer lymphedema physical therapy. Lymphedema is treated with complete decongestive therapy, which includes:

Donaji & the Magical Poncho
This is the story of a fearless girl and her encounter with the wicked cold wind god
4.32 / 5.00 5,765 ViewsIf the X-Box and PS2 win this console war, it will ruin console gaming in general. That's a lot of experienced gamers' problem with the X-Box. Microsoft (as evidenced by their way of licensing and such) knows nothing about games. They look at numbers and try to buy out the companies that will sell the most games and get the most cash. The same with Sony. Note that neither company has a dynamic first party that constantly produces fantastic titles (ie. Nintendo or Sega).
Nintendo, on the other hand is a company that has been making fantastic games forever. Nintendo's first party games have always been spectacular, and only uninformed idiots say that their titles are "kiddy games." If anything, games that focus on blood and guts are aimed at kids, since it is normally the kids who search for that type of stuff in their games.
If Nintendo goes, the days when console gaming was about the gaming will be gone, and it will become STRICTLY a big-name-game, in it for the money business. Thus, the Gamecube MUST beat the X-Box, if only to save gaming as we see it.
As for the systems, the order of purchase right now stands at Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube, then X-Box if you're buying the system "for the games." The Dreamcast has the best and most varied library, the PS2 is second (With the awesome must-buy Metal Gear Solid 2), the Gamecube is third (Smash Bros. Melee), and the X-Box is 4th. The X-Box only has Halo, which is a mediocre FPS. I say mediocre because it does NOT stand up to PC FPS (No massive multiplayer...most people don't play single person FPS), and had it been released on P.C. like it was supposed to, it would have been mostly overlooked unless it got a nice multiplayer MOD.
Dead or Alive 3 is CRAP. I will repeat that if you didn't hear...CRAP. See, I have Dead or Alive 2, and it's the same freakin game with better graphics, and graphics DO NOT change the gameplay! DOA3 is a "Championship edition" to a so-so fighter (button masher), and is in no way worth the purchase of a system. Similarly, Madden and NFL2K are superior to NFL Fever in every way (Including graphics - Madden and 2K have more realistic movements and player animations).
In conclusion, support Nintendo or console gaming will die.
yes finaly something good
so many ppl have tried and failed horribley with a fight including sep(who sucks),vivi(who is fucking awsome) and link but u pass with flying colors.
whoa! you aculally used vivi and seperoth! vivi can also be found in kindom hearts 2.
Can hate something that was done 6yrs ago when you didnt watch it WHERE ARE YOU MAN IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE THIRD INSTALLMENT TO THIS AND THE SECOND INSTALLLMENT TO ARROGENCY!!!!!!!!!
Once again...
Almost everything I can say about Sepiroth I have already said in my previous review besides adding that every crossover and their dog seems to star him and I for one am tired of seeing this character so glamorized while other more believble characters are out there who are less used, now I'll cut that crap and get straight to the chase.
Animation could be more smooth, the colors seemed to crash rather then slide, and now I just sound like an ass...
ho hum... let me reconstruct my thoughts.
Link reminded me less of the videogame Link and more of the animated series Link, in that respect you didn't break character... that's good.
But I can't give you more then a 5 in good conscionces due to the only truly quality thing about this video being the voice-over that was less then a half-minute long.
I did however laugh at the sudden change of pace with the enterance of Vivi.

* U.S. fighter jets due in Poland
* Signal of support after Russia's intervention in Crimea
* U.S. naval destroyer to join Bulgarian, Romanian warships
* Black Sea manoeuvres delayed by 24 hours (Changes dateline, adds Black Sea delay)
By Marcin Goettig
LASK AIR BASE, Poland, March 11 (Reuters) - NATO began wargames in Poland on Tuesday, with U.S. jets due to join the exercises as a gesture of Washington's support for its eastern allies after Russia's intervention in Ukraine, but bad weather delayed naval manoeuvres in the Black Sea.
Without naming neighbouring Ukraine, Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski called on his country's political parties to safeguard defence spending at a time of budget constraints due to the "events to the east".
The United States says both the air drills in Poland and its joint Black Sea exercises with Romania and Bulgaria were planned before the crisis in Ukraine. But they send a message of resolve to NATO members nervous about Russia's intentions in its former Cold War backyard, along with separate reconnaissance flights over Poland and Romania near the Ukrainian border.
At the Lask base in central Poland, Komorowski watched as four Polish F-16s took to the air. A U.S. Hercules transport plane landed with support staff and at least 12 U.S. F-16 fighter jets and 300 personnel are due to arrive by Thursday for the exercises, beefed up at Warsaw's request after Russian forces seized control in Crimea.
Flanked by a handful of U.S. soldiers, Komorowski stressed the need to maintain defence spending in Poland, a staunch U.S. ally still haunted by decades of Russian domination during the Cold War. "I hope events to the east of the Polish border, which is also NATO's border, will encourage tough decisions regarding Polish security," he told reporters.
Military funding in Poland, which marks the 15th anniversary of its accession to NATO on Wednesday, is under pressure.
Komorowski urged all parties to safeguard annual defence spending set by Polish law at 1.95 percent of gross domestic product (GDP). The parties are reluctant to cut back on welfare as an alternative before municipal and European Parliament elections this year and Polish parliamentary polls in 2015.
To the south, strong winds and high seas put back the Black Sea exercises by 24 hours, the Bulgarian defence ministry said. "The weather is now improving, the sea is not that rough and I don't expect another postponement," said Lieutenant-Colonel Dimitar Titev.
The USS Truxtun, a guided-missile destroyer with about 300 crew, had been due to join the drill in international waters southeast of the Romanian port of Constanta, some 350 km (220 miles) from Russian forces in Ukraine's Crimean peninsula.
The exercises underline Washington's lead role in the international response to Russia's actions in Ukraine, where political forces determined to take Kiev westwards to Europe have taken power after the overthrow of President Viktor Yanukovich.
The European Union, hampered by the need for consensus among its 28 members and their economic inter-dependence with Russia, has been less bold. The Kremlin has said it acted to protect Russian citizens in Crimea from attack, and denies invading the region.
In a separate deployment since the Ukraine crisis began, extra U.S. military aircraft have arrived in Lithuania to take part in regular NATO air patrols over the Baltic states.
The alliance also said on Monday that it would start reconnaissance flights over Poland and Romania to monitor the situation in neighbouring Ukraine.
NATO ambassadors gave the go-ahead to the AWACS flights, acting on a recommendation by the alliance's top military commander, U.S. Air Force General Philip Breedlove, a NATO spokesman said.
Speaking on Monday at a Polish rocket defence site, not far from the Russian Baltic Fleet's base at Kaliningrad, Polish Defence Minister Tomasz Siemoniak said the air exercise was to have been smaller, involving only transport aircraft.
But Siemoniak said that after the Russian military intervention in Crimea, Warsaw asked the Pentagon to send fighter jets instead.
"This was our request," said Siemoniak. "We really appreciate that the reaction was that quick and significant."
The USS Truxtun, part of the U.S. Sixth Fleet headquartered in Italy, is due to join the Bulgarian naval frigate Drazki and three Romanian vessels in the Black Sea drills.
It had been expected to visit the Bulgarian port of Varna March 12-14, but Titev said he was unable to confirm when it would arrive after bad weather closed the port on Monday. It was not expected the exercise would involve any live-firing.

July 19, 2006
Hello Everyone,
I am looking for any descendants of Priscilla Albert JACKSON (husband, Archie) and her sister, Agnes Albert SMITH (husband, Tom).
In 1920, Priscilla and her children were enumerated in the household of her brother-in-law; she was listed as a widow. Priscilla was also enumerated, in 1920, with her husband and children. The children were:
Herbert - 19 Samuel - 17 Florence - 16 Lillian - 13 Gertrude - 8/12
Priscilla died in 1942, and Agnes died in 1946. They did not leave the Algiers section of New Orleans as far as I know. I do not know much more about them. Priscilla and Agnes were two of my grandfather's (Thomas ALBERT) sisters.
If anyone knows of these sisters and/or their descendants,please contact me.
Thank you.
Roslyn Sacramento, California

- - Puffer acting weird, faded white spots, HELP!
Puffer acting weird, faded white spots, HELP! 1 Attachment(s) Hey guys I hope you can help me. I just got a new Papuan Toby Puffer last friday. In the tank are a firefish, purple goby, sixline wrasse, and lemonpeel angel.. Water parameters are Ammonia: 0 (maybe a tad above, but not enough to register at the next level) Nitrite: 0 PH: 8.1 Nitrate: 20ppm Salinity 1.022. Ever since I got him he has been hanging out in one corner of the tank, swimming up and down the sides and really never leaving about that quarter area of the tank (45 gallon), he is eating, but I do not know how much. He pokes and eats at some of the stuff in there but not a lot. Yesterday I noticed some faded white areas appear on his body (see pic), they are not dots, but kind of like patches and lines. The picture is not the best for seeing them but you can tell they are forming on the top of him. Anyone have any idea of what this could be? Any help or advice is appreciated! It is a FOWLR tank |
First, what are you feeding him? And, it looks as if he is bumping into his new surrounding a bit. From where that pic is taken, looks as if he's tryin to hide in some tight spots. |
1 Attachment(s) We have been feeding him half-clams and shrimp pellets. He has a little spot on his nose but Im not sure if that has always been there, I am starting to question myself on everything if it was like that before or not....Another pic where you can kind of see the nose thing.... |
Half clams are a good thing. Try Mysis shrimp also instead of the pellets. The spot on his nose is from him digging at the clams. No worries there.He keeps eating, and time passess, he will get more comfortable with his surroundings and the fish in there, I think he'll be fine. |
Thank you! the puffer was swimming all around and eating alot today so that is good! However, we still see some white lines and patches once and a while but they are not there all the time. I have read that puffers can change their appearance based on mood, do you think this is what this is? |
I will make a strong suggestion that can be a tremendous help for future additions to the tank. First, let me say that as I read this thread I find it impossible to eliminate or reduce the possible causes. As I brainstorm on the possible issues, I come up with a ton of things that "could" be a culprit. Initial capture, shipping, acclimation, health of fish at the LFS, pH swings, CALCIUM LEVELS, alkalinity, design of live rock structure, behavior of other fish (especially the Lemon Peel), diet at the LFS compared to current diet, etc etc. There are just so many considerations that it is difficult to help quickly. My suggestion is this, and I realize that hind sight is 20/20. However, the use of a quarantine tank would eliminate many of these issues. A quarantine tank can be set up quickly and inexpensively, generally for less than the cost of 1 or 2 fish, especially if you have some used equipment lying around from your likely days as a freshwater hobbyist. There is a nice article in our library on setting up quarantine tanks: http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/f...ne-tank-35693/ |

LibertyReserve.com Shuttered, Founder Arrested In Spain 138
hypnosec writes "Libertyreserve.com has been shut with the founder arrested by police in Spain this week over his alleged involvement in money laundering. Libertyreserve.com has been down for over three days now and the arrest seems to be the reason behind the outage. Arthur Budovsky Belanchuk, a 39-year-old male, has been arrested by Spanish authorities as a part of their ongoing investigations into money laundering. U.S. officials may very well seek his extradition."
