PLEASE, help me…!Thanks, everyone…
See if you can find a college student, who likely won’t work a ton, to stay at your home while your away. I’ve seen lots advertised on craigslist.com.

At one time the Arlington police chief was the highest paid police chief in the state of Texas. This was because of the high crime in Arlington. I don’t think it’s a good place for a family. There are better places to live.
Here is a link that shows the crime statistics for Arlington, TX.

My wife and I are first time home buyers and are looking for a Condo. We have it narrowed down to the above three towns and are looking for pros and cons of each. Which would you move to if you were a married first time homebuyer?
Thanks!
Schaumburg
I live in Schaumburg, near Roselle and Schaumburg Roads. Everything you need is right here within walking distance. Groceries, salons, schools, restaurants, parks, banks, drug stores. And the neighbors are great.
My soon to be wife and I are looking for an apartment. We love arlington, the only thing is we dont know what apartments are safe (like theft,break ins, shooting, and so on) we dont want. I was wondering what apartments are safe. Our price range is $600 to $750. We both like Mission Rock Ridge on Bardin and Matlock. Is that a safe apartment complex.
Here is a link to the Arlington Police crime statistics database. You can search by apartment complex, area, school, or park.

I wanna catch a red sox game in Texas but I don’t know how far I would need to travel. I need mileage from Austin, Texas to Arlington Texas and From Houston Texas to Arlington Texas. Thanx.
You’ll get a faster answer by looking it up yourself. MapQuest, YahooMaps, Google maps are all good sources.
I used to live in Roslin and got married in the chapel 2 years ago. It has now become even more famous because of the release of The Da vinci Code.
Its a nice place but the hype it got because of a small mention in the film is over rated. plus they missed out a lot of the history regarding the designs and carvings. These Templar guys were something else when it came to travel and discovery
I am getting married next spring and my fiance and I are thinking of driving up the New England coast for our honeymoon. We want to spend some time in New York City, but we would also like to visit Boston and other sites and cities. Any suggestions?
I’m not sure where you are starting from. Obviously, Philadelphia and Washington have plenty to do and see.
New York and Boston are great, naturally. We start getting into weather issues, depending on the time of year you’ll be going. Cape Cod has some nice places. Newport, R.I., is pretty spectacular. The Maine coast is very pretty.
I don’t really understand clearly on how the Judicial court help Salem. I know it ended it somehow. I also don’t know what the Judicial court is. Do they decide stuff?
You are referring, of course, to the ‘Supreme Judicial Court’ of Massachusetts, which was formed in November 1692, though it was then called the "Superior Court of Judicature". (The name, but not the basic function, was changed by the Massachusetts State Constitution of 1780, which went into effect in 1782.)
The timing of the formation of this court and its connection with the Salem Witch Trials is almost an accident of history.
James II had suspended the colony’s charter in 1684 (for failure to pay duties under the Navigation Acts). After he was deposed in the Glorious Revolution of 1689 an effort was made to obtain a NEW charter. One finally went into effect in May 1692 — new Governor William Phipps and prominent clergyman Increase Mather, who had worked to gain it, brought it to Boston at the time.
The new charter meant government institutions would now need to be set up — some new, some like the old ones.
One of the FIRST orders of business turned out to be setting up SOME sort of court to try to witch cases, because even the jails of Boston were starting to be filled with the accused — quite a surprise for Phipps. The first court he set up specifically to try these cases — a "Court of Oyer and Terminer" — met from June to October, and ended up executing 20 convicted of witchcraft. But during the summer doubts and opposition grew, and several influential leaders (esp. Richard Brattle and Increase Mather) wrote and counseled Phipps to stop the trials, at least in the form they were following, which included a large role for dubious "spectral evidence". He suspended the court, but needed to decide what to do the accused (indicted) who had not been tried.
At this point the decision to continue the building of the judiciary (court system), including the setting up of a special court for particularly serious cases and for appeals. This was named the Superior Court of Judicature. Though the Chief Justice of this court, William Stoughton (also the Deputy Governor), was one who had sat on the earlier Court of Oyer and Terminer, others who had seemed too quick to convict (such as Hathorne) were not included. ALSO, this court was specifically instructed NOT to consider "spectral evidence" — the sort that had been the key to nearly all the earlier convictions. (When the later cases were tried early in 1693 almost all were not convicted, or had their cases dismissed. Phipss pardoned the few convicted…. and the trials came to an end.)
