Boutique tasteful very unique property
The owner and staff were extremely helpful and always were thinking one step ahead of us. Since they do not have a restaurant, they were helpful with suggestions and organized bicycles for us to rent by the beach which is beautiful! The owner has thought of every detail for the guestrooms which are all different and interesting.

Charming Hotel with a Heart
La Moresca is a small boutique hotel with a peaceful environment. The rooms were impeccably clean, functional, and quite well appointed with antiques beds which were exceptionally comfortable and the walk in shower working like it was supposed to. Turn down service with nightly almond cookies, and innovative floral arrangements every morning was very much appreciated. Breakfast was wonderful, especially the fresh fruit, cheeses and pastries and excellent coffee. La Moresca feels more like a home than a hotel. The inner courtyard was brimming with beautiful greenery, vines, and flowers. At night the added touches of candles along the stairs created a romantic ambiance. The attention to detail of the staff was very kind, gentle, and welcoming. Carlomaria with his passion and knowledge of the area and its history and Maria with her sweet gentle manner made us realize how wonderful the service and the people here are. It was easy to communicate since they spoke English, and we also enjoyed talking to Maria in German. Marina di Regusa is a perfect location to relax but is still close to all the ancient sites. By day, we would visit the Baroque villages of Regusa, Rausa Ibla, Modica, or Scicli, or ventured further to Siracusa or Agrigento and the Valley of the Temples, to be awestruck by these amazing ancient places. We were always given great suggestions on what to see and where to eat. We enjoyed exploring some fabulous Michelin-starred restaurants for lunch, and when we arrived back each evening the staff would always inquirer of where we had been and how we enjoyed our day and the sites, with Carlomaria taking an extra interest in the restaurant scene we had experienced. This is an extraordinarily well run hotel with a real feel of the Sicilian people and their culture. La Moresca is truly a little gem for the discerning traveler. Everything about this place is charming. It filled all your senses of sight, sound, taste, and smell. We will always have memories of a gentle scent of lavender that was floating through this truly wonderful place. Fabulous in every way!

Quiet, contemporary, hotel in Marina de Ragusa
We were very happy with our stay at La Moresco. It was off season, so it was very quiet and breakfast was served in our room instead of in the breakfast room downstairs. The staff was helpful and printed directions for us to places of interest, and offered suggestions for dinner in the town. We were able to take day trips to Unesco Heritage sights and return to the hotel at night. We had dinner twice in a local restaurant where we enjoyed good seafood and local wine.

When Emily Rinehart was little, she enjoyed learning about the Civil War and the Holocaust.
She especially loved hearing the stories of people who fought slavery and persecution.
"It made me wish I could go back in time and just do justice," she said.
This summer, the 21-year-old North Codorus Township resident will embark on a two-year journey to raise awareness and prevent human trafficking in Dublin.
While in Ireland, she and another trainer will partner with churches to raise awareness and educate about prevention.
"Our philosophy is to train the nationals and then turn the responsibility over to them," said Joyce Oden, director of anti-human trafficking for international nonprofit Hope61, based in Greenwood, Ind.
Oden said trainers are chosen based on how well they will adjust to a different culture and tough issues.
"We believe very strongly in spiritual commitment and passion," she said. "If you have that to stand on, you're more likely to make it."
In 2010, Rinehart attended a retreat at One Mission Society in Greenwood, Ind., where she heard someone speak about people who are trafficked into sex and labor trades. As she listened, she felt a yearning to get involved.
According to the United Nations, about 700,000 to 4 million women and children are trafficked around the world for forced prostitution, labor and other forms of exploitation every year.
The writing major was unsure of what she was going to do after graduating from Houghton College in western New York in May. She contacted Hope61, an extension of OMS, and applied to the program. She learned she was accepted in May.
"I felt the urging to go in my heart and complete peace," Rinehart said.
She'll train from June through August in Indiana, covering cross-cultural curriculum and human trafficking. Because OMS is a faith-based mission she must raise all of her funding - $42,000.
The money will cover travel and living expenses.
She and Oden have raised about $17,000 in donations by arranging meetings at churches and with small groups to inform people about human trafficking. Rinehart tells people how God led her down this path and how she wants to restore what's been broken in people's lives.
She said she's excited to start working and that she has no apprehensions about the project.
"As a Christian, I don't believe I need to fear anything," Rinehart said.
She said that although she'll be dealing with an ugly problem, she feels joyful because of Jesus.
"I want people to feel joyful and have this love of life," Rinehart said.

The frustration doesn't end there. As evidenced by her breakthrough debut single, Do It Like a Dude, Cornish has an annoying habit of inserting zany tics where songs would benefit from being played straighter (one Ke$ha is quite enough, thanks). A pretty acoustic ballad, Big White Room – recorded live, applause included – is ruined by unnecessary gymnastics. A shame, as when she's not overreaching Cornish showcases sweet, if unspectacular, vocals.
The songs of Who You Are are expectedly split between slower, slushier affairs and punchy anthems for bolshy teens, those coming to this collection off the back of Do It Like a Dude. If modern pop-lore is to be believed, said track was originally written with Rihanna in mind (Cornish has a background in co-writing material for other artists). While the decision to keep it makes it clear Who's Laughing Now (more bad-attitude swagger), it's a lightweight Rude Boy rip-off masquerading as confrontational thug-pop. Hearing a BRIT School girl from London's suburbs deliver lines derived from Caribbean slang is uncomfortable, and in terms of female empowerment the lyrics make Alexandra Burke's Broken Heels sound like Independent Women Part 1.
Mamma Knows Best brings a big-band-trapped-in-a-synthesizer sound to the fore, more Pixie Lott than Ain't No Other Man-period Christina Aguilera. Better is the following L.O.V.E., which walks the line between affecting and aggressive superbly, Cornish's snarl balanced by a tender side that rarely makes an appearance; if one could squint their ears, it'd be a ringer for something from The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill (and that's serious praise). The title-track returns Cornish to an acoustic accompaniment, and makes for a fine closer – it's her Hometown Glory, without the raw emotion but touching nonetheless.
With Cornish's profile at a high and awards in the bag, Who You Are is a guaranteed commercial hit. What it's not, though, is a collection that confirms the arrival of a significant solo talent. It's too patchy, too hurried, the powers behind it too eager to capitalise on the artist's current chart success. There's ample room for improvement, but given the well-documented hurdles Cornish has already overcome one shouldn't write her off just yet. When the pressure's lifted, she could conjure up a classic.

Three Models
The Stage 2 comes in three models: The Stage 2 HA88 and Stage 2 HA76 feature our new top-of-the-line fully weighted Hammer Action keyboard. The Stage 2 SW73 features a 73-note Semi Weighted Waterfall keyboard. Apart from the keyboard type and the number of accessories available, all three models have identical features.
The Sound Inside
The Stage 2 has three sound generating sections; Piano, Organ and Synthesizer, all of which can be used simultaneously. Furthermore, up to two sounds from each section can be combined in a single program for massive sonic flexibility.
Piano Section
The Stage 2 Piano section has evolved from the multi award winning Nord Piano; featuring our state-of-the-art sampling techniques the Stage 2s pianos capture the extraordinary nuances and real character of the individual source instruments. Combined with the intelligent String Resonance that reproduces the sound of the piano strings resonating at their fundamental or harmonic frequencies when other strings are played, and compatibility with the optional Nord Triple Pedal that adds Dynamic Pedal Noise the result is breathtaking realism and an unsurpassed expressiveness.
An all-new feature in the Nord Stage 2 is the Selectable Piano Release function. With Piano Release activated you get a slightly longer release more suitable for legato playing. This important feature reflects adjusting the damper tension in an acoustic or an electromechanical instrument.
In addition to vivid acoustic Grand and Upright pianos, the Piano section also features some of the finest, most desirable vintage electric pianos. The Stage 2s piano sounds are future-proof thanks to its compatibility with the Nord Piano Library. This free online library is continuously updated with both upgraded existing pianos and all-new pianos to keep your instrument constantly renewed.
Over ten years have passed since we made our first digital model of a tone wheel organ. The Stage 2s dedicated organ section now uses our third generation B3 Organ model, the same as found in our acclaimed Nord C2 Organ.
Considered by many to be the most accurate emulation of the B3 ever, the Stage 2s organ model is based on the analysis of the signals from each of the 91 spinning discs inside several original instruments and painstaking work on understanding exactly how all the components interact with each other. The virtual circuitry reacts not only to the settings on the panel but also during the real time performance. The Stage 2 will faithfully reproduce the important foldback and energy robbing characteristics; the latter will produce the gentle compression effect that makes those lovely smears absolutely wonderful. There are 3 tone wheel modes that allow you to switch from a clean, factory specd instrument to a worn and battered workhorse with many years of touring.
We also created carefully modeled emulations of two of the most famous transistor organs from the 1960s, the Vox Continental and the Farfisa Compact. Alongside the organs themselves, the Stage 2 features our very latest rotary speaker simulation derived from the C2. Incorporating the acoustic variations that occur as a physical rotating spreads the sound around in a room, they bring the Stage 2s organs to life with remarkable realism. In terms of control, Draw buttons and LED bar graphs have replaced the original mechanical drawbars. This gives you the advantage of always having the correct drawbar settings after changing preset. For Organ sounds only, the Stage 2s keybed is programmed to respond at its highest trigger position, resulting in authentic feel and allowing lightning fast organ techniques.
The Stage 2s powerful new synthesizer engine was built from the DNA of the Nord Wave. Capable of classic analogue synthesis, three operator FM synthesis, Wavetable synthesis and, crucially, compatibility with the Nord Sample Library. The Nord Sample Library not only give Stage 2 owners access to the huge free library of world-class sounds, including the famous vintage Mellotron and Chamberlin samples previously only available to Nord Wave and Nord Electro 3 users, but thanks to the included Nord Sample Editor for Mac and PC, allows user-created samples to be loaded into the instrument and thus opening up a whole new creative world of sound
The Synth engine itself features classic analogue synthesis with dual saw, hard sync and pulse wave modulation, three-operator FM synthesis with 32 different modulation frequencies, Wavetable synthesis with 62 waveforms and Sample based synthesis. A new great-sounding multimode filter features 12 and 24dB low pass, high pass, band pass and notch filters. And with an Amp envelope, Modulation envelope, an LFO, and Unison control, the Stage 2s synth capabilities are hugely powerful, delivering amazing on-stage sound.
The Synth section also features a new Arpeggiator that can be easily synced to the Stage 2s Master Clock for perfect timing with other elements of the Stage 2, including its effects
Programming and Control
To make programming and on-stage control as simple as possible we have arranged the sound generators and controls of the Stage 2 into dedicated sections Piano, Organ and Synth. Not only does this make for a very intuitive approach to programming but also instantly shows you which settings are active. There are no deep menus, no complicated screens to navigate. All vital functions are controlled by dedicated single-function knobs.
In addition our patented Pitch Stick and Modulation Wheel allow maximum musical expression and our efficient Morph Grouping technique is also included, allowing you to assign sound and effects parameters to physical controllers
Extern Section
The Nord Stage 2 wouldnt be a master keyboard if it couldnt control external devices with ease. The Extern Section is designed solely for this purpose, so that any MIDI-connected gear gets seamlessly integrated with the Stage 2s built-in instruments. Zones, splits and layers are handled exactly as if the external equipment was a part of the Stage 2 itself. All settings are saved together with a Program so advanced setups can be immediately recalled in real-time during a performance. You can even use the Extern Section to automatically transmit Bank Select and Program Change messages to your external units.
The Keyboard
Naturally, a keyboard is not just about the sound but also the feel. The Stage 2 HA88 and Stage 2 HA76 feature our new top-of-the-line fully weighted Hammer Action keyboard that also has been improved for response when playing rapid repeated notes. The Stage 2 SW73 features a 73-note Semi Weighted Waterfall keyboard. At Nord we also do something that nobody else does: during the assembly of each instrument in our Stockholm factory, every keybed is individually and specifically tuned for a consistent response and balance
Effect Section
No sound is complete without the proper use of effects. In the Nord Stage 2 we incorporated all the effects required to cover musicians needs. All of the three instrument sections - Organ, Piano and Synth - can be routed individually through the Stage 2s built-in effect units. Turning the effects on and off, and controlling the routing is easily done by a touch of dedicated buttons, readily accessible at the bottom of each effects unit.
The new Master Clock function makes it easy to sync effects to other elements, like the arpeggiator, LFO or even one of the other effects. You can easily lock the effect rate to a range of note values make the delay do quarter note triplets of what arpeggiator is playing, while the LFO gently sweeps the filter up and down in half notes, all perfectly interlocked. The Master Clock can also be controlled by an external MIDI clock perfect for syncing your parts to a backing track, including tempo changes!
Effect 1
Here you can choose from Tremolo, two Wahs, an Auto-Wah, and an AutoPan. Use the AutoWah with a Clavinet for raw funk licks, create a psychedelic vibe with an Electric Piano on AutoPan, or give a Wurlitzer some body using the Tremolo. There is also a Ring Modulator on board, an effect used by many experimental and electronic musicians.
Effect 2
The two Phasers, two Choruses, the Flanger and new Vibe effect are modeled from the classic analog stomp boxes that define the sound of popular music. These swirling Phasers, metallic Flangers, and thick Choruses that are used by uncompromising professionals everywhere are crystal clear and faithfully simulated on the Nord Stage 2.
A delay unit has been included to create haunting echoes or slap back effects. The delay also supports a ping-pong mode, and the tempo can easily be adjusted with the tap-tempo button, or synced to the master clock. The delay also has an Analog mode for creating those classic warped sounds when changing the delay rate on repeats.
Amp Simulation & Equalizer
This effect section combines a three-band equalizer with a sophisticated amplifier and speaker cabinet modeler. Classic amplifiers and speakers are a crucial part to make vintage Electric piano sounds come alive. Nord offers the famous sounds of speaker simulations of a Twin Reverb, a Jazz Chorus 120 and a Wurlitzer speaker. When no Amp Model is selected, the unit provides a neutral three-band EQ with sweepable mid and a crunchy overdrive.
Rotary Speaker
The new improved Rotary Speaker simulation, which not only brings an essential character to a live organ performance, can also be used with any of the electric or acoustic piano sounds and the synthesizer.
Master Effects
A Compressor and a Reverb are placed at the end of the sound chain, to help you blend your sounds more naturally together. The Reverb unit has six different Hall, Stage and Room spaces to create different atmospheres for your sounds, while the Compressor helps you keep the overall mix tight and under control.

Rose's injury puts damper on Bulls' win
Posted By HOOPSWORLD On April 28, 2012 @ 6:00 pm In All,Wirenews | Comments Disabled
CHICAGO — A routine playoff victory took a nasty turn for the Bulls on Saturday afternoon.
With about 1:15 remaining in a 103-91 win over Philadelphia, guard Derrick Rose drove toward the basket, came to a jump stop with both feet, then fell to the ground grabbing his left knee.
After staying on the ground for about three minutes, Rose was helped to the locker room by a pair of Chicago trainers. He was taken for more tests and the extent of his injury was unknown immediately after the game.
"He was moving his leg," coach Tom Thibodeau said. "He will be examined and then they will know."
Up until that moment, any questions about Rose's health seemed to be answered during Game 1 of this first-round playoff series at United Center.
The Bulls' three-time All-Star missed 17 of the past 22 games because of groin and ankle injuries. After a slow start in the first quarter, Rose produced 23 points, nine assists and nine rebounds.
Needless to say, the Chicago locker room was quiet and subdued, as though the team had suffered a 30-point loss.
"It might be one of the saddest wins we've ever had," forward Carlos Boozer said. "Our prayers are with him, and we're hoping for the best. We'll see what happens."
"We're definitely worried," added Luol Deng. "If it was a little injury, he wouldn't go down like that. Like I said, it looked bad. Right now, we're hoping for the best."
Chicago led by as many as 20 points several times in the fourth quarter, so there wasn't a compelling reason for Rose to be on the floor in the final two minutes. Thibodeau refused to second-guess the decision to leave Rose on the court. Just before the injury occurred, the Sixers did cut their 20-point deficit down to 12.
"I don't work backwards like you guys," Thibodeau said. "The score was going the other way. He's got to play."
"In playoff basketball, you never want to give a team confidence," guard Richard Hamilton said. "We needed guys out there that can put the ball in the basket."
Overall, this was quite a change from last year's playoff opener for the Bulls. They played a sub-.500 Indiana squad in the first round and needed a 16-1 run in the final 3:30 to escape from a 10-point deficit.
Philadelphia seemed to be within striking distance in this one, trailing 79-66 heading into the fourth. That was before Kyle Korver opened the final quarter with a pair of jumpers and a free throw from Taj Gibson gave the Bulls their largest lead to that point at 84-66.
Hamilton, in his first playoff game for the Bulls, added 19 points and Luol Deng scored 17. Elton Brand led Philadelphia with 19 points.
"That was the fourth time we have played the Bulls this season. This is the best they have played against us," Sixers coach Doug Collins said. "The Bulls played great. I really hope that Derrick Rose is OK. I admire him and believe that he's one of the bright lights in the NBA."
The Bulls got off to a quick start, delivering a 10-0 run after Sixers guard Jrue Holiday opened the game with a 3-point basket. When Philadelphia tied the score 28-28 early in the second quarter, the Bulls answered with a 9-0 run.
"We would be eight to 15 back and then cut it down," Brand said. "Every time, though, we made a mistake, they executed and made us pay for it. They made a run every time."
With 4:36 left in the third quarter, Boozer got tangled up with Sixers guard Evan Turner after a foul was called. In the ensuing verbal skirmish, Rose, Hamilton and Brand were given technical fouls.
NOTES: The Sixers started rookie Lavoy Allen at center in Game 1. . . .. Fans at United Center booed Turner, a Chicago native, who said last week he would rather play the Bulls than Miami in the first round. Turner was also a high school rival of Rose. . . . Collins on why his team slumped at mid-season after starting 20-9: "It's called weaker opponents." . . . Collins was coach of the Bulls from 1986 to 1989, while Thibodeau was a Philadelphia assistant from 1994 to 1996. . . . The 76ers have dropped their last five playoff series. . . . Game 2 is Tuesday at United Center.

Travis Ruiz is the Social Media Manager and Interactive Managing Editor for FOX21 News.com
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Two teenagers have now been identified as the suspects in connection with Facebook threats on Falcon School District students.
According to the El Paso County Sheriffs Office, Alexander Natale and Kyle Pate, both 18 years old, were identified as the suspects in this case.
It started out on Tuesday when the Sheriff's Office received reports of cyber bullying on a Facebook page called "Falcon Problems." The page, police said, had comments that were believed to be threatening in nature and surrounded students from Falcon School District 49.
Authorities immediately launched an invetsigation and Natale and Pate were identified as the suspects. Natale and Pate each attend different D-49 schools, police said.
Natale, according to police, was served a summons charging him with Harassment. A summons is pending for Pate.
"The Sheriff's Office takes cyber-bullying cases seriously because they can result in repeated events of victimization and escalate to physical altercations and violence," The Sheriff's Office said in a statement. "Furthermore, cyber-bullying often extends beyond the intended, individual victim(s) and interferes with school operations and their mission to educate our youth in a safe and secure environment."

"Kilkenny Castle on the River Nore" ~ Kilkenny Castle dates back to 1213 when it was built on the River Nore for the 4th Earl of Pembroke. The castle was later owned by the Butlers of Ormonde for over six centuries until abandoning it during the 1930's depression. The Butlers were Earls, Marquesses and Dukes. The 6th Marquess and 24th Earl of Ormonde eventually sold the castle to the government in the 1960s for the token amount £50 so that it could be restored and opened to visitors.
"West Tower of Kilkenny Castle" ~ The west tower of Kilkenny Castle, with the south tower shown beyond.

Patent 7,702,540 (2-19-1999) was finally awarded to eBay after 11 years. It reads:
Computer-implement method and system for conducting auctions on the internet
Methods and apparatus for a system for facilitating electronic commerce transactions with a first data storage location for holding information about an item for auction from a first participant in a data packet network, a verification process that verifies the user identification of the first participant in said data packet network, the verification process confirming a user identification before allowing the participant in said data packet network access to place information about an item for auction in the system, a display process for displaying information of the item for auction to a plurality of data packet network users, the display process displaying an advertisement with the item for auction to the plurality of data packet users, an auction process for receiving bids on the item for auction from at least one of said plurality of data packet network users, the auction process also verifying a user identification from said at least one of a plurality of data packet network users before allowing receipt of the bid and a notification process for notifying the plurality of data packet network participants that said bid was accepted by said system.
If I wish to implement a simple online bidding process for items without all the bells and whistles (fixed price, etc.) is that in infringement of that patent?
Or do I have to wait until 2-19-2019 (or get a license from eBay). I'm guessing that a license for a small player like me would be way too expensive.


text: Home Culture On Blacks and Fat: Will Allen This urban farmer and author says that growing your own food is neither "slave work" nor a passing trend. By: Jenée Desmond-Harris Posted: May 9 2012 12:16 AM 0 Will Allen (Pete Amland) Obesity is more common in African Americans than in other ethnic groups. But when it comes to black people and weight, that's where the agreement seems to end. Is food the culprit? Is exercise the solution? Is there even a real problem to begin with, or should we be focusing on health -- or even self-acceptance -- rather than the number on the scale? Against the backdrop of the first lady's mission to slim down the nation's kids, black celebs getting endorsements after shedding inches and a booming weight-loss industry, The Root will publish a series of interviews with medical professionals, activists and fitness enthusiasts that reveal the complexity of this issue and the range of approaches to it. For the fourth in the series, The Root talked to Will Allen, author of the Good Food Revolution: Growing Healthy Food, People and Communities. A former professional basketball player and executive at KFC and Procter & Gamble, he now runs Growing Power, a nonprofit organization that has several urban farm sites in Wisconsin and Illinois, including one farm half a mile away from Milwaukee's largest public housing project. He has made it his mission to spread the word about the health and community benefits of local food systems. Read the rest of the interviews in the series here, and check out the rest of The Root's obesity coverage here. The Root: According to the latest statistics, African Americans are 1.5 times as likely to be obese as whites. What's going on, from your perspective, with black people, obesity and overall health? Will Allen: I have the opportunity to travel around the country to major cities, smaller towns, places in the South, small towns where agriculture once ruled. Most people who lived there, back in the day, were involved in agriculture. We've unfortunately kind of lost agriculture as an occupation. And now, in states like Mississippi, for example, 50 percent of citizens are obese. But today I've seen more African Americans wanting to go back into production for a lot of different reasons, and one of the main reasons is health. They want to survive, to have their children live healthy lives, to have to grow food, from a legacy standpoint. Especially with the first lady kicking in and putting in a small garden at the White House -- after that, over 10 million people started gardening for the first time. TR: When it comes to African Americans and obesity, what is the biggest myth or misunderstanding? WA: I think the bigger misunderstanding is that it's just African-American folks that are obese, when in fact, we all are, regardless of ethnic makeup, nationality, whatever. We're all in trouble, and it's not all about obesity. It's about what's in our food. The good news, though, is that everyone wants to do something about it these days. TR: If you could make just one suggestion for people to implement in their daily lives with respect to weight and health, what would it be? Page 1 of 2 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

The industry has been destroyed by farcical government policy's which offered huge rebates to stimulate the industry ( but also encouraged huge amounts of Chinese made imports), then cut the rebates, leaving containers full of overstocked panels everywhere, and a manufacturing industry with no customers.
In a country with more Sun and open space than most, no solar industry is a tragedy.

You'd do better to check the official forums .
Hello, is there any kind of standard opening move in GalCiv II just like Civ 4? Something such as "Research hunting; build warriors until hunting researched; research archery; build scouts until size 3; build worker and settler; etc."
Maybe I should put this in the stretagy section but it appears that nobody visits there

Hey! We need more posters here, lets not go sending people to the official forums!!!
Opening strategy, in my opinion, is heavily dependent on how much you want to rush-buy. The more you rush-buy buildings/ships, etc., the faster start you will have but the sooner your economy will collapse from overgrowth. The less you rush-buy the slower your start but you get a lot more out of your starting money when you spend it in the "normal" way.
That said, in my opinion it is well worth it to at least rush-buy your first colony ship as well as one or more factories on your home planet. Otherwise those will take ridiculously long to get built.
The other major early decision is where to put your funding sliders. There is probably more argument here, but I would say avoid research for a bit and focus on social and/or military spending for the first 10-20 turns.
I do the following:
Turn 1: Buy Factory, Buy Colony Ship
Turn 2: Buy Morale improvement
Turn 3: Buy Economy improvement
Basically, I try to spend all my money except about 500 on buying stuff. There is no interest, so why keep the money...
The reason to keep the money is that it can allow you to run your economy at a large deficit during a period of rapid expansion. Rather than having to shut down your factories and labs due to crippling maintenence costs early in the game, having that initial sum of money intact means you can keep them going, thus building ships and improvements at a much more reasonable price than the enormous penalties you pay for rushbuilding things (something like 5 times the normal cost).
I'm not saying its bad to rush-build, but I am saying that it can be worth it to hang on to some, if not most, of that starting money.
I agree. See my post.
Since the deficit spending in the early stages is relatively small, I can get though the "recession" with 500BC. That and the Explorers always dig up some extra gold...
I take a slightly different tack than most seem to advocate.
On my home planet, I don't rush buy anything. Why? With your population, you can still build stuff fast, saving the cash to jumpstart your first couple colonies.
Turn 1:
- Set spending sliders on 60% social, 40% research
- Set tax levels so that approval is around 50%
- Place 2 factory tiles, 1 farm tile, 1 happiness tile, 1 econ tile, 1 factory tile, 2 lab tiles
- Point initial colony ship towards potential colony site
Turn 3 or 4
- Initial factory built
- Colonize any found planet
- Set up tiles like initial colony
- rushbuy colony factory 1
Turn 4 or 5
- Rush buy Colony Factory 2
Is it a good idea to colonise any old planet that you can stick people on, or is it better to skip the poor worlds (class < 10) and come back to them later?

On a large board, as terran, I build factories so I can build 2 ships/turn, if there are a few percent left, switch that to research Universal translator. When I find my first race, I switch to 100% science until I get Universal translator, then back to the Original setup, when I get the next factory tech, set up a Manufacturing Capital 1I build until I can crank out a Colony/turn, build my economy on other worlds, build an Economy Capitol, and if I get another good planet, a Intellectual Capitol, when I hit about 2000 bc, I switch to 100% science, get advanced markets etc., sell off my techs when I just have a few hundred bcs so I don't have to turn off my Manufacturing.
Urban Ranger, yes I'd skip the lower quality < 7 worlds, so when I bounce back, I'll be strong enough eigher for another round of colonization or to get the Aphrodesiac and Terraforming wonders.
The great aspect about GalCiv II is that there are many right strategies, and the decisions you make have a true impact on the game. That said, some are better than others and you need to tailor them to your style, race, and racial picks. I typically play at the third from the hardest level.
Here is my typical opening gambit, which is oriented toward high growth. I dont particularly like playing blood-makes-grass-grow races, so this is a more development or hybrid strategy.
Turn 1: buy factory at home planet, set ship production to colony pod, tax slider set so that morale is at 100% (tax rate very low, ~15%), military production set to ~70% to get colony pods cranked out
Land free colony ship on planet to top off colonists (for some reason they arent automatically maxed).
Set research goals to get free production improvements, with an eye toward Sensor I (correct name?) which lets you build survey ships (KEY POINT!)
Send the colony ship to find the first good PQ planet, which for me is PQ9 or better. Youll need to conserve cash so dont buy any social improvements at new colonies, which for me have a build queue of 2 factories, space yard, then markets (money is so short in the early game I need eco structures), and perhaps research if there is a good bonus tile. Eventually when the shipyard is built Ill queue up a constructor, cargo-hull based survey ship, or small-hull defender.
Turn 2 home planet: buy second factory, all other social improvements will build on their own. Hopefully you are building colony ships fairly quickly, perhaps 1 colony ship per 3 to 5 turns.
Turn 3 home planet: may queue up a 3rd factory if my production is slim or I have no manufacturing bonuses to get my colony ship production rate up. The rest will be a few research and the balance markets. I like the Terran special structure for the eco and speed boost, and I may build this after my factories are up. If I get a big haul with my survey ships I may buy it to ensure it gets up and running ASAP.
The 100% morale strategy hinges on getting the double population growth bonus associated with 100% morale. Youll run terrible deficits in the early game when keeping production at 100%, so youll either need to sell tech or (better yet) build a number of survey ships on cargo hulls to run around getting anomalies and the occasional cash bonuses. A few 500 or 1000 bc anomalies will do wonders to keep you from running your account in the red, and if you get some very good exploration as your survey ships are running around. Remember that population = taxes, so the faster you can get your population up along with some eco social improvements on your planets the better off youll be. After the anomalies are scoured then I post my survey ships as pickets to detect enemies, or pair them with fleets as scouts. Note that this strategy does not work as well for small and tiny galaxies where your neighbors are very close, or when anomalies are rare.
A couple of tricks to consider depending on your setup:
If you have a good speed bonus (Terrans to start, or racial picks with +1 or +2 speed) then consider colony ships with no engines on a small hull. These are very cheap so you can produce them quickly.
Build a few cheapo small hulls with a few weapons on them as soon as you see your opponents militarizing space. This gets your military rating up and your neighbors will be more likely to leave you alone if you arent a military weakling. Getting a higher diplomatic rating and the Diplomatic Translator helps, too.
There are LOTS of other tips at the Gal Civ II boards, but Im sure the friendly folks here at Apolyton will be happy to help too!
I am a CIV IV BTS veteran, but I am a GC2 TOA rookie. Over my past couple of attempts at the game - not beyond normal difficulty, I've had success sending 7 or 8 colony ships - purchasing 2 or 3 - out as quickly as possible for two purposes. First, if I find a high quality planet 8 or above, I will colonize immediately. The second purpose is to look for worlds that I cannot populate until I research Barren Worlds or some other such planet improvement technology. After getting some basic techs researched, I get to the point where I can build basic defensive ships. I then B-line it to the techs I need to colonize those other worlds. I have a colony ship waiting by each world, so as soon as I research the enabling technology, I immediately colonize.
This strategy, so far, has allowed me to pick up some high quality planets reasonably early in the game and use the REX strategy effectively. Once I've colonized all the planets I want to, I can trade the enabling technologies for other techs I didn't focus on along the way.
So far; so good. We'll see as I move up levels whether it can remain viable.
I totally agree with u.

The Town of Danville owns, operates and maintains over 167 acres of parkland, most of which is used for active recreation. Six community parks which include amenities such as children's play equipment, sports fields, picnic areas, bocce ball courts, a dog park, and walking trails. In addition, 20 acres have been improved with trails or special use facilities.
To view the Town's Strategic Plan for Parks, Recreation and Art Click Here.
Natural grass sports fields maintained by the Town of Danville and the San Ramon Valley Unified School District within the Towns of Danville and Alamo close during the winter months in order to give Town staff time to do routine maintenance and give the grass time to grow and repair. The fields will be open, weather permitting. This includes the Canine Corral Dog Park at Hap Magee Ranch Park. However, wet weather will lead to some day-to-day closures of the fields and dog park.
To get information on the status of the Town's sports fields as well as the dog park, residents are encouraged to contact the Maintenance Information Line, at 314-3484. The message on the information line is updated by Noon on weekdays and 7:00 a.m. on weekends when weather conditions prompt closures.
During the normal usage season, the Canine Corral at Hap Magee Ranch Park is closed for maintenance every Tuesday. This closure will allow maintenance work to be completed at the site while minimizing the impacts on the user groups. Tasks such as mowing, irrigation repairs, weed abatement, hardscape repairs and others will be conducted. This weekly closure, approved by the Joint Planning and Operations Committee for Hap Magee Ranch Park, will also allow the grass a day of rest which should extend the life of the turf to further enhance the usability of this area and maximize the experience for patrons of the dog park.
For more information, contact Maintenance Services Manager Jed Johnson at (925) 314-3450 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The residents of Danville take great pride in their park facilities. To ensure that park visitors enjoy the facilities, the Town Council has adopted Ordinance 91-13 governing park use.

WASHINGTON - Mallory Hagan says her first week as Miss America has been amazing, but she's not sure she's going to Inauguration Day because of the weather.
Hagan said in an interview Saturday that it may be too cold to attend President Barack Obama's public swearing in ceremony Monday. She says she has a ticket and is "in the middle of deciding if she'll go" because "it's going to be freezing."
Hagan spoke at an event for OurTime.org, which featured will.i.am and John Legend.
Hagan won the Miss America title last week. The 23-year-old was born in Alabama, but moved to New York at 18. She was named Miss New York last year and lives in Brooklyn.
She says she feels "overwhelmed, excited, humbled" after having the crown for a week.
