Item Description: Over 70 items; nearly every book is is first edition in dust jacket, generally in very good to fine (some exceptionally so) condition. A detailed descriptive list is available upon serious inquiry. Whistler was killed in action in Normandy a few days after D-Day, and even though he died at the relatively young age of 39, he had already enjoyed a popular and prolific career. His style is often classified as ÒBaroque Revival,Ó an inadequate term at best. Certainly not a modernist, his illustrations might even edge into fantasy in the sense that they often evoke a bucolic, romantic, antique and classical elegance that existed primarily in wistful memory and movies. Even so, his imaginings generally avoid the most saccharine nostalgia, and often reveal a wry, satiric, and often grotesque sensibility. Bookseller Inventory # 30410

Published by Boston: Roberts Brothers, 1876-1887 (1887)
Used Hardcover
Quantity Available: 1
Item Description: Boston: Roberts Brothers, 1876-1887, 1887. First Editions; complete in 37 volumes; original black cloth decorated in red (first 14 titles); original green cloth decorated in black (next 12 titles); original brown cloth decorated in black (final 11 titles); all with gilt title bands on the spines. and in fine or near fine condition. Thomas Niles of Roberts Brothers conceived the idea of publishing books with "no name" of the author provided. A contemporary ad announced the series: "These novels are to be written by eminent authors, and in each case the authorship of the work is to remain an unviolable secret. No name will help the novel, or story, to success. Its success will depend solely on the writer's ability to catch and retain the reader's interest." Over the years the authorship of most of the volumes has been discovered, about 30 of the 37 books of which were by women. The best-known of these publications is A Masque of Poets, which prints the poetry of Celia Thaxter, Christina Rossetti, Louisa May Alcott, Lowell, Thoreau, and most importantly Emily Dickinson, whose poem ÒSuccessÓ appears, the only poem of hers to see publication in her lifetime. A second famous volume is Louisa May AlcottÕs A Modern Mephistopheles, a somewhat darker work than she is known for. A third is J.T. TrowbridgeÕs A Great Match, a baseball fiction incunable. This series was assembled over a twenty-four year period by our colleague Rick Loomis (Sumner & Stillman), and is a remarkable achievement. While complete sets might exist somewhere, weÕve never seen one, and certainly have never seen one for sale. The three titles mentioned, given their renown and value, are the easiest to find; some of the others are so obscure and elusive as to defy diligent efforts to acquire them.

Item Description: Mostly from the thirties to the fifties, covering a variety of topics. Among the most exceptional of these is a two page holograph letter of Judy Holliday regarding the ruining of her career in the McCarthy era, Ò.When I came back to L.A., all hell.broke loose. The problem we were discussing that night reared up all over again & twice as violently. I can no longer work on radio or television.future movies look as if they will be paid off and not done.IÕd still like to discuss the script, but I guess it would be a theoretical discussion unless my boss, Mr. Cohen decides to be brave.Ó There are a couple of Pete Seeger letters and an excellent, long two-page typed letter signed from Alan Lomax. Four typed and signed Kurt Weill letters partly concern a song he wrote with MacLeish (with one letter he sends a copy of the music), and discuss a proposed collaboration with Corwin on a play, Ò.What I have in mind is to translate the lose [sic] form of entertainment which you have created for the radio into the terms of the musical theatre.Ó Artist and writer Rockwell Kent begs Corwin to spend the summer at his house upstate, touching briefly on politics. Four letters are from dancer Ted Shawn (one holograph letter to a mutual friend about Corwin), and there is additional correspondence with Howard Fast, Rabbi Stephen Wise, Carl Laemmle (turning him down for a job in 1931); a one page typed letter signed from Nelson Algren submits a two page poem carbon ts. (signed on each page). James Cagney writes Corwin (typed and signed ÒJimÓ) in 1942, ÒJudge Ben Lindsey wrote me asking for a copy of the broadcast.If you will please send one on here I will see that the old guy gets it. If he does, it will be the first time he has ever had an answer from anybody in the movies or radio. HeÕs sore as hell at us, so letÕs cool him off.Ó E.B. White, in a signed one page typed letter (1980), writes, ÒMany thanks for letting me see that fine piece on Sid Perelman. I am happy to find myself in it, here and there. I am glad you used that line about the cow --- a Holbein. It is Perelman at the top of his form, and higher you canÕt get.Ó There are a few other miscellaneous pieces, including a Wilder postcard and a typed letter of Admiral Byrd, apparently to CorwinÕs associates.

'The New Naturalist leatherbound editions remain something of a secret known only to fans of the series'.'40 skilled steps undertaken to create a valuable book that will endure for over 100 years.'.[Edited Selection].'Then we move on to the leather. We buy Nigerian goatskin leather. We find that goatskin is hard wearing has a beautiful grain and feels and smells as proper leather should. A leather bound book is not just about its contents but is a beautiful object in its own right . When taken in the hand, one's sense of touch, smell and sight are engaged by what a leather brings to a book. The leather is hand picked by the British Tannery on regular buying trips to Nigeria. All the goats that it comes from are free range and the staple farm animal of Nigerian agriculture. They come to the UK and go to our tannery in Northamptonshire who dye the leather with dyes to achieve the rich dark brown. They are shipped to us and we inspect every skin before cutting panels out to ensure no natural faults are going to unduly effect the look of the book. Every skin is slightly different so each book is unique but very similar to the others in the series. The Panels are then cut from the leather and the panels are then skived down (thinned) to get the leather to a thickness the binding process can take place. We than "pare" the edges of the leather, paring is thinning the leather again on the back of the panel around the edges of the panel about 1 cm wide. This is Vital to achieve neat cases which are the hard back element of the book. Once this is done we then glue out the leather and apply the two grey boards and turn in all 4 edges. We have now made a case. We then create raised bands . These are the bumps on the spine which originally were created from the sewing process in early books. Nowadays we create raised bands for decoration rather than necessity. This we do by cutting very narrow strips of leather to the width of the book and glue them in specific uniform parts of the case. We then commence blocking or embossing the case. The Front of NN books has the NN blind embossed on to the front cover and lines either side of the raised bands. If you look carefully you can see the leather darkens with the application of heat and pressure. We make a "die" from art work which we apply heavy pressure and heat in which to achieve what we call blind embossing. The gold "blocking is then applied to the s. Bookseller Inventory # 000354

Item Description: 1896. The 50 items described below are part of what The Times (4 March 1896) described as 'the paper warfare' surrounding the Oxford University vote, on 3 and 10 March 1896, on the admission of women to the B.A. degree, a controversy which left the Oxford air, according to the Spectator (7 March 1896 ), 'thick with fly-leaves', and which drew from C. L. Dodgson ('Lewis Carroll') one of his few speeches in Congregation (on the 'anti' side). (Dodgson's pamphlet on the question, Resident Women-Students (1896), is offered separately.) The 1896 vote was, as Vera Brittain points out in her Women at Oxford (1960), the second of 'six memorable struggles which marked the relationship of women students to Oxford University', the others occurring in 1884, 1910, 1920, 1927, and 1948.Almost all of the items in the collection are excessively scarce. The only copies of 43 of the 50 found on COPAC and OCLC WorldCat are at Oxford, with no copies found of another three (7, 8 and 21). The collection derives from the Board of Education Reference Library, and all 50 have manuscript shelfmarks, and punch holes to corners for gathering the collection in a bundle. Item 16 carries the Board's red and white Library label, and Item 21 its stamp. Six of the items (2, 14, 26, 27, 40, 49) have the ownership inscription of Martin Holdich Green (1849-1927; see obituary, Times, 12 November 1927), last Life Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford, and two (9 and 22) are marked 'Miss '. A handful of the items (including two of the largest, 16 and 34) show particular signs of wear, but the overall condition is fair, with items lightly aged and worn.A number of notable individuals contribute, on both sides of the debate. ). Of particular interest is the exchange between Professor Thomas Case (1844-1925) of Magdalen, and Thomas Hodge Grose (1845-1906) of Queen's College, from 1897 University Registrar, with Grose accusing Case of being 'the Oxford Cassandra. For years he has poured his melancholy wail. But the University survives.' (19) Other contributors include: Sir William Reynell Anson (1843-1914), Vice-Chancellor, 1898-1899; Reginald Walter Macan (1848-1901), from 1906 Master of University College; the historians Charles Harding Firth (1857-1936), at the time lecturer at Pembroke, Henry Francis Pelham (1846-1907), Camden Professor of Ancient History, and Arthur Henry Johnson (1845-1927); Joseph Wells (1855-1929), Warden of Wadham, 1913-1927, and Vice-Chancellor, 1923-1926; James Franck Bright (1832-1920), Master of University College; the archaeologist Professor Percy Gardner (1846-1937); James Leigh Strachan-Davidson (1843-1916), from 1907 Master of Balliol; Arthur Sidgwick (1840-1920); Henry Offley Wakeman (1852-1899). Four women contribute: Bertha J. Johnson (26); Agnes C. Maitland (1850-1906), Principal of Somerville (31); Annie Mary Anne Henley Rogers (1856-1937) (39); and Eleanor Mildred Sidgwick (1845-1936), Principal of Newnham, sister of prime minister Arthur Balfour (41, a particularly impressive contribution).The extracts given in the descriptions below will give an indication of the passions aroused by the question. According to Brittain, a correspondent in the Oxford Gazette would later refer to 'the great fight of 1896, when Oxford was flooded with literature and The Times with letters', and the following references to features in The Times back up that claim: 5 February, 6 February (letter by Annie M. A. H. Rogers, Hon. Sec. to the Association for Promoting the Education of Women in Oxford), 7 February (letter by Henry Palin Gurney), 11 February (letters by Percy Gardner, A. Sidgwick of Corpus, and Bertha J. Johnson), 15 February, 20 February (letter by Agnes C. Maitland, Principal of Somerville), 22 February (letters by Thomas Case and Emily Davies, Hon.

A rare opportunity to own the famous 11th Edition of the Britannica in a special limited edition bookcase that was designed and made for a select few of these sets. The bookcase is in remarkable condition, complete and intact and showing few signs of any use or age, with no significant flaws or damage, or even any serious scratching present (the right edge of one shelf is cracked, not noticeable, could likely be easily repaired). Included is the matching headpiece case for the 3-volume "New Edition", issued in 1922 as an update supplement, that is intended to sit neatly on top of the original bookcase (as shown in the photos). The main body of the bookcase is 13.5 inches across (wider at the top and bottom). It stands 5 feet tall with the headpiece. Books are in flexible leather (light brown suede) bindings. All exterior page edges are gilt. All 32 volumes are present and are complete, exteriors in varying conditions. For obvious reasons, the spines are in worse condition than are the books themselves, and for some reason the condition of the spines becomes worse as you move down the bookcase. The spines nearer the floor are in the poorest condition. A number of the boards are detached, but all boards are present and complete. Because they were protected, many of the boards are in Very Good or better condition, in or near the condition of the volume shown in the photos.

"¡Viva Cristo Rey!" ("Long Live Christ the King.") That was the rallying cry for millions of Mexicans during the second and third decades of the 20th Century, as revolutionary governments, modeled after the Bolshevik regime in Russia, unleashed round after round of persecution and terror throughout Mexico.
Despite decades of taxpayer subsidies to preach the theory of evolution in government schools, a recent Gallup survey showed that slightly more Americans believe the biblical account of creation today than 30 years ago when polls on the subject first began. Just 15 percent of respondents thought godless evolution explained the origin of man.
The former president of the American Psychological Association says political correctness and homosexual ideology rule the organization, and that leaving the homosexual "lifestyle" is indeed a possibility, a position contrary to that of the APA.
U.S. retailer J.C. Penney has raised the ire of pro-family groups for a Father's Day ad featuring two homosexual men and the children they are raising.
As the global battle over parental rights heats up, Republicans in Congress responded on Tuesday by introducing a proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution enshrining the liberty of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children. Activists and lawmakers say the move is needed to permanently and explicitly guarantee what has long been recognized as a fundamental freedom.
Judge Timothy Garcia of the state's court of appeals upheld a ruling by New Mexico's Civil Rights Commission that fined the owners of Elane Photography nearly $7,000 when the photographer refused to photograph two lesbians at their "commitment ceremony."
The city council of Anaheim, California is taking the U.S. House of Representatives up on its admonition that America's national motto, "In God We Trust," ought to be proudly displayed in public schools and government buildings across America. On May 29, the southern California community's governing body voted unanimously to include the motto, set in four-inch brushed-gold letters on a black background, in the City Council Chambers.
Following the success of a similar effort last March, tens of thousands of pro-life and Christian activists will gather at public venues in cities across the nation June 8 to voice the overwhelming opposition Americans have toward President Obama's contraception mandate, which will require that all employers — including religious institutions — provide free birth control to their employees.
The communist dictatorship ruling mainland China, responsible for the blood of more innocent victims and for more abuses than any other single regime in world history, released a scathing so-called "human rights" report suggesting that America's Second Amendment protection of the right to keep and bear arms represented a violation of human rights. Apparently a response to the yearly U.S. State Department report on abuses worldwide, the Chinese regime's document also criticized more broadly what it called the "woeful" human-rights record of the U.S. government.
The movie For Greater Glory depicts the story of Mexico's Cristero War in the 1920s, when a peasant army fought bravely for their religious freedom against a militantly secular, anti-Catholic regime. The film version, like the actual history, provides an inspiring example of what heroic virtue in action looks like.

Boko Haram: I will help mediate if I am approached- Sultan
On a blue throne in a whitewashed palace in the far northwest of Nigeria sits Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar, the spiritual leader of the country's 80m Muslims.
As Sultan of Sokoto, he traces his moral authority back two centuries to when his direct ancestor Usman dan Fodio fought a jihad along the desert fringes, creating one of the most powerful empires south of the Sahara.
Today, Mr Abubakar has another jihad on his mind – though not one under his control. Until recently, an insurgency by the Islamist group Boko Haram was mostly concentrated in Nigeria's remote northeast.
But having defied a military clampdown, it has spread across the country, attacking Kano, the north's biggest city, in January, killing around 200 people.
The militants warned that Sokoto, the seat of the ancient caliphate, could be next.
Mr Abubakar, who before becoming Sultan in 2006 spent 31 years in the army, has beefed up his personal security. But he is under no illusion that guns alone can protect his city – or any in Nigeria.
"This problem cannot be solved by force," he told the Financial Times in his palace in Sokoto. "What we need is dialogue."
It's a conclusion gaining currency as the human and economic cost of the insurgency mounts. Since July 2009, Boko Haram, which means "western education is forbidden", has killed nearly 1,000 people, according to Human Rights Watch.
Strikes on police stations and government offices have broadened into attacks on churches and schools. Assassins on motorbikes with AK-47s hidden under their robes have been joined by suicide bombers, whose methods suggest links with global terror groups such as al-Qaeda in the Maghreb (AQIM).
Factor in issues elsewhere in the impoverished Sahel region, including turmoil in Mali and an influx of weapons from Libya, and it's easy to understand alarm about where the insurgency could lead.
"The Sahel is a timebomb waiting to explode," says Nuhu Ribadu, Nigeria's former anti-corruption chief and presidential challenger. "It makes sense to engage them [Boko Haram] now."
Boko Haram was formed a decade ago in Maiduguri, northeast Nigeria. Like previous anti-establishment groups in the north, the sect's founder, Mohammed Yusuf, railed against corruption, inequality and injustice – failings the Sultan acknowledges.
"Without justice, there's no good governance, which means no peace and no development," said Mr Abubakar, who says authorities at all levels in the region have failed to "live up to their responsibilities to govern".
Mr Yusuf's aim was for strict Sharia to replace loosely applied Islamic law in the north and he built up a committed following. But when Boko Haram clashed with police in July 2009, he was arrested and executed, along with his father-in-law and dozens of followers.
The movement that emerged was no longer just a religious sect but an insurgent group bent on revenge. Under the command of one of Mr Yusuf's deputies, Abubakar Shekau, militants began targeting security forces.
By last year, the frequency of attacks led to speculation that powerful figures in the majority Muslim north were assisting, or at least allowing, the insurgents to destabilise the country because a Christian southerner, President Goodluck Jonathan, had taken over the reins of power.
When Mr Jonathan was elected in early 2011, he did not appoint strong northerners to top positions, fuelling resentment. Politically and economically, the north had never been so weak.
"Northerners with the authority to challenge Boko Haram just looked on, because they did not feel part of Mr Jonathan's team," says Matthew Kukah, the catholic bishop of Sokoto.
Meanwhile, the insurgents' methods – and targets – were evolving. In August last year, a suicide bomber blew up United Nations headquarters in the capital, Abuja, killing 25 people. US investigators concluded that the car bomber was well-trained and had used volatile explosives of a sort used in al-Qaeda strikes elsewhere.
The attack raised Boko Haram's profile, even if little was yet known about the group. In the search for answers, Olusegun Obasanjo, the former president, travelled to Maiduguri.
"I wanted to know: is there really an organisation, is it well-led, does it have grievances and goals and is there any external involvement [from global jihadist groups]?" Mr Obasanjo told the FT.
After meeting relatives of the insurgents, he concluded that the answer to the first three questions was yes. "On external involvement, they said, 'Maybe, but not much yet'," Mr Obasanjo said. "My impression was that there was some technical involvement or funding."
A western diplomat who follows the issue closely had a similar view. "There is some co-operation with AQIM, but Boko Haram still has a distinctly Nigerian agenda."
Even so, analysts believe the group has several factions, including a new offshoot called Ansarul Muslimina Fi Biladis Sudan, which has criticised the main wing for spilling so much Nigerian blood.
Intelligence officials believe it was this group that killed a British and an Italian hostage in Sokoto during a raid to free them last month.
The diplomat said President Jonathan's security advisors were coming round to the need for dialogue. Indeed, the government made tentative efforts to reach Boko Haram last month through Ahmed Datti, a northern cleric. Mr Datti withdrew after details were leaked to the media.
In Sokoto, the Sultan said he is now ready to help mediate. "If I am approached I will play a role," he said.

Introducing, Ebenezer Real Estate, LLC, dba Useful Essentials, an online retailer of beneficial products for your home and beyond. This campaign is very important, because it will help us fund inventory of our first useful product: Foldable Laundry Hamper.
According to Mama's Laundry Talk website: You DO need to sort the clothes. Dorting clothes allows you to use different cycle types ('delicate' versus 'normal') and also allows for washing in different temperatures. Most importantly, sorting clothes decreases the chances that a garment is going to bleed onto another when you control cycle type and water temperature.
There are several distinct piles to sort clothes into: whites, darks, lights, jeans and delicates. You could sub-divide even further, but these categories are the most used. Whites: White t-shirts, white underwear, white socks and other similar items fall into this category. This pile is for white sturdy cottons that can withstand normal agitation in the washer on a warm or hot wash cycle.
Darks: Grays, blacks, navies, reds, dark purples and similar colors are sorted into this load.
Lights: More pastel-type colors such as pinks, lavenders, light blues, lights greens and yellows are placed in this pile of laundry.
Jeans: All items with denim material are washed together in this load.
Delicates: This category includes several types of clothing – lingerie, pantyhose, washable silks, and any clothing you'd like to keep from the harsh agitation of the washer. This project gets an A for having a great video which explains it, solving a problem and adding a workshop to help people.
What Is Needed & What You Get
Here is a breakdown of what your contribution will provide:
$12,000 to fund Inventory and shipping costs of Inventory.
Some of the funds will also be used to ship perks to contributors like you.
Here is a list of perks you get depending on the amount of your contribution:
Useful Essentials' Foldable Laundry Hamper(s) as seen in this campaign.
Access to my eBook: No More Clutter - Home Storage And Organization Ideas.
Be listed on Useful Essentials' "Thank You Video of Fame" and/or "Thank You Page of Fame" for 3 months to 1 Year depending on your contribution (if you would like to stay anonymous you can, or we can use your initials, full name, and/or picture on this perk).

Respond to Review of Blossom Restaurant
by OneChubbyVegan
Review: Oh. My. Stars. This place doesn't look like much when you enter, but by the time you sit down and look at the expansive menu of meals you'd never dreamed of cooking even with 100 vegan cookbooks on your bookshelf, it doesn't matter. The waitstaff is incredibly friendly which is a plus, because in Manhattan, sometimes waitstaff gets snooty which is a big turnoff. For starters, we had the curried potato appetizer and the ravioli. You've never had anything like this ravioli. It's worth it to go for this alone. My husband had the feijoada. It was so beautiful and delicious I almost wished I'd ordered it, too! Not to say that my seitan scallopine wasn't good. It was awesome... especially the chard and the potatoes on the side. We made room for dessert and had the ganache and the cheesecake. You'd never believe it was vegan. Heaven on a plate. It will be hard to choose a different restaurant once we go into Manhattan again.

text: Episode - 4F08\\First Aired - 1/19/1997Marge goes into business for herself with a soft pretzel franchise (with some help from the local Mafia), only to be challenged by her former small business colleagues (who hired the Yakuza[[note]]Japanese mafia[[/note]] to take her down).--------------------------!!This episode contains examples of:* AffablyEvil: Fat Tony and that one Yakuza guy who bursts through the window, apologizes for the broken window and runs outside to continue the mob war.* BaitAndSwitch: When it seemed Homer was asking for divine help, he was actually asking a favor from the Mafia.* BitchInSheepsClothing: Maude Flanders. She's a huge bitch when she's not around her family.* {{Bowdlerization}}: The gorier descriptions of the Yakuza and the end fight on the lawn have been edited on the UK's Sky One channel.* DealWithTheDevil: Fat Tony does Homer the favor of helping Marge's business succeed, but only in return for getting all the money.-->'''Homer:''' You mean the mob only did me a favor to get something in return? Oh, Fat Tony! I will say good day to you, sir!\\'''Fat Tony:''' Okay. I will go. ''(leaves, then realizes what has happened)'' Hey, wait a minute!* {{Introdump}}: Parodied with Cletus having bought 300 pretzels to feed his children, and then proceeds to call them all out of the house by name... [[OverlyLongGag all twenty-six of them.]] * JapanesePoliteness: "Forgiveness, please!"* LoopholeAbuse: Marge gives out coupons valid for a free sample. She forgot to state that she would accept only '''one coupon per customer'''. At least this helped her to know the name of every one of Cletus' children.* MobWar: Between Fat Tony's group and the Yakuza on the Simpsons' front yard.* NoEnding: The episode ends abruptly in the middle of the mob war.** According to the audio commentary, the writers decided to ThrowItIn, as they were stumped for an ending.* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome / StrollingThroughTheChaos: The little guy in the Yakuza who is standing perfectly still as the fight rages around him. Homer wants to see him fight and knows it'll be good, but the second Marge gets him to come inside, we hear a barrage of screaming and punching. The episode ends with him coming crashing through the family's kitchen window; he [[JapanesePoliteness apologizes]] to them before hurrying back outside.* OutrunTheFireball: Parodied when the mob blow up the Investorettes' falafel wagon. Maude is talking to Chief Wiggum who guides her through the process for throwing herself on the floor in front of the fireball.* ProducePelting: Marge tries to sell her pretzels at a ballgame, but the sports fans end up hurling them at Whitey Ford.* SanctuaryOfSolitude: Spoofed.-->'''Homer:''' ''(kneeling in a church)'' I've never reached to you before but my wife is in her hour of need. Your help could make all the difference in the world.\\''(RevealShot shows that he's actually talking to Fat Tony and the Mafia)''* StartMyOwn: Marge takes Lisa's advice to join a franchise to beat her former friends, now enemies, at their own game.* TemptingFate: After Marge tells her family about no longer being one of the Investorettes, Homer tells her that she doesn't need to worry about that for as long as he can provide for them. Right after that, he hits one of his eyes with a hot dog he's trying to eat and it makes him unable to work.* TickerTapeParade: Marge stages a fake tickertape parade (with Lisa as an astronaut) to avoid littering laws when she throws flyers for her pretzel business off the buildings.--> '''Chief Wiggum''': Welcome back, space girl. (sniffs)* TookALevelInJerkass: The Investorettes, especially [[{{AlphaBitch}} Helen Lovejoy]]* VillainyFreeVillain: the Investorettes weren't really doing anything wrong by kicking Marge out of their investment group (Marge herself admitted she didn't like "the whole idea of 'investing'"), and they were well within their rights to compete with her when they both started up mobile snack businesses. But they're such ''jerks'' about it that you're not sad at all when Marge's Mafia goons blow up their truck.** Keep in mind, Marge ''didn't'' know about Homer getting the Mafia involved at first, but didn't have much choice to go along with it to save both their necks when they wanted their cut. The Investorettes on the other hand, ''knowingly'' hired the Yakuza to compete and take down Marge.* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In the beginning of the episode, Marge is kicked out of her friends' group and becomes their worst enemy, but in the next episode that features her with them, they are all friends once more. Do they even resolve their differences in the end or what? And who won against the Springfield Mafia and Yakuza?* {{Yakuza}}* YouHave48Hours: Fat Tony's ultimatum to Marge.-->"You have 24 hours to give us our money. And to show you we're serious... you have 12 hours. See you at 6 a.m.."

But everyone seems to enjoy the study and how it pushes you to look inward and try to persuade you to live what the bible is teaching us ! Instead of just learning what is said , it try's to bring us to the point of actually living what God want's us to be through His word.

Originally written on Sports Business Digest | Last updated 12/1/12
The Phoenix Suns are officially running one of the most intriguing promotions ever, promising a money back guarantee to fans who don't enjoy the experience.  The promotion is due to take place Thursday December 6th against the visiting Dallas Mavericks.  The Suns are guaranteeing the always subjective "good time" to their fans, allowing them to mail in a ticket stub and rebate form to receive a refund. The team is currently 5-3 at home this season, with a 7-9 record overall. The team is trying to generate interest from fans after losing cornerstone point guard and fan favorite Steve Nash to the LA Lakers prior to the beginning of the season.  The Suns are currently averaging a little over 15,063 fans per game at home, more than 500 fans per game off of last year's 15,597 pace. If the team doesn't "lose their shirt" on this Thursday's promotion, we can all but expect to see similar promotions in the future.  Click here for more details.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Red Cross Racing members will be cheering on driver Greg Biffle this weekend during round five of the NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, NC. Biffle, driver of the No. 16 3M Ford Fusion, is in third place in the Chase, only 77 points behind the leader.
Biffle, along with the American Red Cross, 3M Company and Roush Fenway Racing, kicked off Red Cross Racing during the April Talladega race to educate NASCAR fans about the importance of giving blood. So far, nearly 26,000 have registered with the program and more than 18,000 have given blood.
Admission to the interactive Red Cross Racing traveling display with its interactive activities is free. Fans can join the NASCAR-themed Donor Rewards Program right at the track, or by visiting redcrossracing.com. The exhibit will be at Lowe's Motor Speedway on Friday and Saturday, October 10 and 11.
Red Cross Racing members have the chance to accrue points and exchange them for NASCAR-themed prizes such as caps, tee shirts, jackets, and limited edition die-cast cars. Once registered, individuals are automatically entered for a chance to win an all-expense-paid trip for two to the Daytona race in February 2009. The prize package includes airfare, hotel, two race tickets and pit and garage tours.
"I gave blood myself," said the No. 16 driver. "Driving home, I felt so good, knowing my blood could help save someone's life."
To give blood, you must be at least 17 years of age, weigh at least 110 pounds, and be in good health. Some states allow 16-year-olds to donate with parental consent. Red Cross urges everyone who can to join Red Cross Racing by visiting redcrossracing.com and scheduling a blood donation appointment to help ensure an adequate supply of blood is available when needed.
