I've been looking all over the net to figure out how to set this jQuery to fifteen minutes. Right not it's set for fifteen days. It's a little off I know I could just change the day from 15 t0 1 but still that's to long. I can find settings but nothing that actually works for what I would like i.e. 15 minutes. Thanks
<script type="text/javascript">
(function($) {
if (document.cookie.indexOf('visited=true') == -1) {
var fifteenDays = 1000*60*60*24*15;
var expires = new Date((new Date()).valueOf() + fifteenDays);
document.cookie = "visited=true;expires=" + expires.toUTCString();
$.colorbox({width:"680px", inline:true, href:"#subscribe"});
couldn't you just do:
var fifteenMinutes = 1000*60*15;
var expires = new Date((new Date()).valueOf() + fifteenMinutes);
Or did I miss something?
That was fast!
You had to missed something!
I don't know I'll give it a try.
You didn't miss anything it works.

Dusten Brown's statement on return of daughter
Dusten Brown has released a statement concerning the return of his daughter Veronica to South Carolina:"The last few days without Veronica in our home have been more painful than words can describe. We are heartbroken at the loss of our daughter. I moved heaven and earth for two years to bring Veronica home to her family where she belongs. And when I finally picked her up for the journey back to Oklahoma two years ago, we looked into each other's eyes and it was like we had always been together. That bond was instantaneous, and nothing can break it. Veronica is my child, my flesh and blood, and I love her more than life itself. And to our daughter, Veronica-Mommy and Daddy love you and miss you so much, and we cannot wait until we see you again. We will see you again."

McNutt stays for the credits
Iowa WR almost left twice, but has records and degree on his mind in year 5
CHICAGO -- Marvin McNutt almost bolted Iowa a couple of times.
It was a passing thought when, after his redshirt freshman year in 2007, he realized quarterback wasn't going to work out for him. Iowa coaches and McNutt talked. He talked to his parents, Anita and Marvin McNutt Sr. He dipped his toe in at wide receiver and hasn't looked back.
"The first time they asked me I kind of talked to my parents about it and we discussed some things and I kind of prayed about it and the feeling kind of hit me," McNutt said. "I just felt that I should stay here and try something new."
Then, last winter, McNutt started looking around. He submitted his name to the NFL Draft Advisory Board and considered making the move to the league. Sure, he was coming off thumb and shoulder surgeries, but he said it was a "50/50 decision."
"There were nights that I would think, 'OK, tomorrow I guess I�m going [announce turning pro],' " McNutt said. "It was like that. I truly thought about it, and glad I made this decision."
Five years after leaving Hazelwood (Mo.) Central High School as a three-sport star with options, McNutt is still here. He goes into 2011 with a chance to write his name in the Iowa record books in ink.
The 6-foot-4, 215-pounder has 16 career TD receptions, just five off the record of 21 held by Tim Dwight (1994-97) and Danan Hughes (1989-92). That one is definitely within reach, considering McNutt�s eight TDs in each of the last two seasons.
McNutt would need to average 6.6 receptions and 82.4 yards a game to catch Derrell Johnson-Koulianos' school records for receptions and receiving yards. It's crazy talk, at least for now, but McNutt is back and he's not here to coast into the 2012 NFL draft.
"Marvin is a tremendous guy, good teammate," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. "It�s interesting when he lines up against [all-Big Ten cornerback Shaun] Prater. Nobody talks more than Shaun Prater, but both of these guys are just great guys. Good team guys. They care about each other and they care about the team. And that�s a nice thing."
Peel back a layer and you learn you shouldn't be surprised by McNutt's follow-through into year five at Iowa.
He's been dating Jessica Carr for about a year and a half and has become close with her son, Christian.
"I treat him like my own son," McNutt said. "He looks up to me. He calls me his father, daddy."
Christian wears a jersey to games that says "Little McNutt" on the back.
"I think it definitely has kind of made me become more of a man, and step up into a responsibility type role, to understand that I can�t always put myself first," McNutt said. "And I think that it helped on-the-field stuff. You've got to help your teammates. You've got to be able to step up. And you know, you may not like blocking as much as you like catching a football, but at the same time, it has to be done. You want to help your running back."
McNutt has a personal road map that shows the way here. His dad wasn't raised by his biological grandfather.
"He raised my dad and that made it a lot easier for me to be able to help raise Christian," McNutt said. "I know my dad was touched by my grandfather. He really respects him. And I respect my granddaddy. He raised my daddy."
McNutt also was one of the first Iowa players to visit former walk-on tight end Kyle Spading in the hospital. Spading was severely injured in an accident near his hometown, Belle Plaine, last month.
Spading was airlifted to University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, where he underwent surgery to align his spine with a rod and screws, according to his mother�s journal entry on CaringBridge.com. Surgeons reported fractures to the C4 and C5 vertebrae caused �severe stretching and bruising� to Spading�s spinal cord.
Last week, Spading had no movement of his arms or legs, but has feeling in his upper chest and some movement in his shoulders, according to the journal. Family reported that he is sedated and they have limited his visitors.
"He�s in my prayers," McNutt said. "I asked for other people just to pray for him as well. He�s in a situation right now . . . He�s definitely my brother and I want to see him do well, and we ask that you all pray for him and his family in this."
McNutt has been Iowa's program since 2007, the season Iowa finished 6-6 and failed to earn a bowl bid. He also caught a TD pass in Iowa's 2010 Orange Bowl victory over Georgia Tech.
He's seen the ends of the spectrum at Iowa. He doesn't know where his final season at Iowa will take him. One minute he beams when talking about a young boy he considers his son. The next, he strikes a solemn tone for a teammate who lies in a hospital bed with an uncertain prognosis.
McNutt hopes to be the first one in his family to graduate from college when he walks across the stage this December with a degree in interdepartmental studies."It�s funny I�ve come this far, it�s coming to the last season," McNutt said. "It�s really an honor and a blessing to be part of this Hawkeye tradition and to have a chance to graduate. I�m going be the first one in my family to do that. It'll be a great feeling."

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Basic Growing Information' started by Andris, Apr 7, 2010.
Can the the quality of indoor soil grown plants be comparable to that of hydro?
for a newbie or a professional grower?,because it is differrent. Newbies normally have a better result in soil but as you are more experienced then you can have close results in both but more Quantity in hydro and more Quality in soil.
More potency in hydro but smoother to smoke in soil.
Its like comparing a truck and a car, It depends on your need, if you are a constructor then truck is your choice. If you need more yield then hydro . Risk is always there with hydro but reward is there also
yeah i agree with Satica, i have grown both methods and there are benefits for both. however, i do believe the taste is alot better with soil grown plants with hydro nutes. Straight DWC hydro plants will grow huge but if you dont give a good flush you will regret it. plus when things go bad in hydro, they go bad fast.
Depends on the grower IMHO
organic soil vs organic hydro, grown to the plants maximum potential, a discerning palate will notice more flavors and smells in the organic soil.
Organic nutes in pro-mix is hard to beat. I ran Roots soil and ff soil side by side against pro-mix. If you are gonna do hydro but want that good flavor of soil then I would say use organics in pro-mix.
I should note pro-mix has no nutes in it and some might find it more difficult then soil to perfect.
I would love to be able put some buds up against some one elses soil grow. If they were the same strain flowered the same amount of time. I only ran soil once so an experience soil grower could possibly do better then I did. If someone can grow my cut and make it taste better then I do I would be pleasantly surprized.
Finally, I 've had some strains that require more care to get the flavors to come out. Some are just in you face right off the bat with that undeniable flavor and punch regardless of who or how it was grown.
If your hydro is done organically and is spot on it may be able to compete with soil but it seems like it's safer to say soil grown is better tasting. Most of the time it is.
I grow coco, soil, and hydro (DWC and aeroflo) and the soil bud is ALWAYS tastier but the coco and hydro look better and almost twice the yield (aero even more) and look awesome....most people can never tell the difference but there are those of us who can...so if it came down to a choice for me I would buy the soil grown organics everytime, but then again like anything organic it commands top dollar.
I agree. Soil for the head, hydro for custies.
Yep - hydro for cash, soil for stash. Hydro just never has the flavor and smoothness that good organic grown soil does.
go with hydroganics it gives you the best of both worlds taste smell potency yield use something like bio canna [for instance] get some promix bx some perlite fine dolomite lime[stabelizes ph in medium] some microbeasties mix them together put in 2 or 3 gallon pots add nutes accordingly and you will reap the benefits hydroganic all day
I agree with Franti.. I think an organic soil will outbeat hydro anyday, yet you will get faster and bigger harvests with hydro..
yep i can account for alil quicker harvest and maybe alil more bushy growth in hydro but it does take alot of taste out for some reason. organic soil have a great smooth taste and keeps ot smell better too i think
how mouch the price is for hydro and soil ?
i see this same debate over and over.SOIL SOIL SSSSOOOOOOOIIIIIILLLLLL 4 me.flavor is much more pronounced and it is soo smooth.just as important is a good slow cure though, it really makes the flavor pop.bad cure job makes even the best soil/hydro job bland.peace
I have to say soil for taste but hydro for yield and potency and appeal.
A crappy soil gro is just as bad as a crappy dro gro. I think dialing your method is the most important thing.
the reason most think hydro isnt as smooth and tasty is because MOST hydro growers rush things a little because they are cash crops, but if hydro is given the time to flush correctly like 17 days and cured correctly I think it can stand with soil
Hydro = Twice the Yield?
Does anyone else get twice the yield using Hydro like BillyB?
As a new medical user, I have been jumping around trying new strains and I don't have much space so I find I'm continually tight on supply of med stash.
My own experience with hydro has been that it has practically no taste at all if flushed well. Right now, I only need a single bag :volcano: daily medicinally- so, two good plants in hydro should get me through each cycle handily (maybe it's BETTER that a medicinal hit doesn't taste too good on a work morning). And I can continue to experiment with soil-ish media for other head/med strains.
My first (since the 70's) grow was in hydro and I blew it big time! Mostly because I couldn't stay on top of the PH swings from having a too small a reservoir. I will say this - it taught me a lot about what not to do.
:sign0006: BTW - I have found at least 3 different flavor profiles in Barney's LSD grown in soil (all good).
The grower is the variable here, not the method.
I've always had this pet theory: soil grows tend to taste a bit better, but I think that's because hydro growers tend to leave the nutes on full blast until the last fucking minute going after yield.

In 1927, two local newspapers, The Williston Sun and The Levy County News joined forces to print a LEVY COUNTY DEVELOPMENT EDITION profiling local businesses and their contribution to the economy.
One of the featured businesses was the Montbrook Crate Company. The company employed 80 workers making it a community prosperity feeder with its payrolls.
At that time, Montbrook thrived on one industry, the Montbrook Crate Company. The company was organized in 1924 when J.T. Flowers, the present owner, bought all the stock in the old Montbrook Veneer & Basket Company.

Cary police looking for suspected credit card cloner
Posted March 16, 2015
Cary, N.C. — Cary police say they have received at least eight reports this month from people who said their credit and debit cards were used to make cash withdrawals even though the cards were not stolen – and detectives are working with local law enforcement agencies on several similar cases.
Investigators believe someone cloned the cards, a process that involves getting access to a card number – often when it is swiped at ATMs or gas pumps where inconspicuous skimming devices have been installed – and programming it onto a new card.
Authorities, however, have not said how they believe the financial information was obtained. The unauthorized withdrawals happened between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. on March 1 and March 2 at various CashPoints ATMS, as well as some Bank of America and Wells Fargo ATMs, investigators said.
Police have released an ATM security photo of a man suspected of the crimes. He has a thick mustache and is wearing large glasses and a dark overcoat. He was recorded leaving the ATM in a new, silver, four-door sedan.
He has been described as between 25 to 40 years, between 5 feet 7 and 5 feet 11 inches tall and of an average to heavy build.
Anyone with information that could help investigators is asked to contact the Cary Police Department at 919-469-4012 or Crime Stoppers at 919-460-4636.
"Our plea is two-fold: Please, monitor your bank accounts for any unusual or fraudulent activities," Cary Police Capt. Randall Rhyne said. "Secondly, when using an ATM, take note of your surroundings and quickly report any suspicious persons or activities around the machine."
The FBI recommends these tips:
- Inspect the ATM, gas pump or credit card reader before using it. Be suspicious if you see anything loose, crooked or damaged or if you notice scratches or adhesive/tape residue.
- When entering your PIN, block the keypad with your other hand to prevent possible hidden cameras from recording your number.
- If possible, use an ATM at an inside location. Criminals have less access to them.
- If your card is not returned after the transaction or after hitting "cancel," immediately contact the financial institution that issued the card.

WOOSTER DISTRICT -- The former Layton Elementary School has been sold to the city, which plans to use it as a site for a water tower.
At Tuesday evening's meeting the board accepted the city's March 21 written bid of $75,000 for the purchase of the building on Burbank Road.
"This was an opportunity for something we've been cognizant of for a number of years, that in the really near future -- eight to 10 years -- we need to construct a new tank in the intermediate (pressure) zone," Mayor Bob Breneman said.
"The Layton property is one of the few that would work," he said, to serve the "majority of the center part of the city," an area now serviced by the Winter Street tower.
Tower sites "are difficult to acquire," Breneman said, making Layton a "wise purchase."
Tax dollars are not being used to purchase it, he said, but rather the water fund, which is supported by user fees.
The purchase has nothing to do with needing to pass an income tax, Breneman said.
In board member Michael Steiner's report on buildings, he reminded attendees there was no bid made on Layton when the board's Feb. 18 auction was held.
On that evening the bidding for Layton started at $150,000 -- the market value of the building established by Realtor Jack Gant. No one made a bid when auctioneer Dave Gallapoo gave a crowd of under 20 the opportunity to make an offer.
However, the Armory, for which the minimum bid had to be $75,000, received an offer of $75,100 from Bret Defibaugh. That sale has been completed, with "the check deposited and the keys handed over," said board member Bob Reynolds.
Since the auction, Steiner said, there have been "conversations with people interested in the (Layton) property."
Board member Susan Marlar thanked Michael Foore, Wooster's director of buildings and grounds, for "walk(ing) a lot of people through that building."
But when all was said and done, "the market obviously did not bear that price (of $150,000 for Layton)," Tefs said after the board meeting.
The city's bid was the only one received, Treasurer Bonnie Weltlich West said.
Had the Layton building not been sold, the district would have incurred significant costs either to raze it or maintain it, Tefs pointed out.
Steiner's building report included information about the central office and its possible move, now complicated by the closing of the Gault Family Learning Center, where the Littlest Generals Preschool is housed.
New financial information concerning where the administrative offices could be moved has become available.
Two area contractors, contacted separately, estimated the cost of converting educational space to functional office space at $80 to $100 per square foot, Steiner said. An architect has estimated the total cost of renovating Cornerstone Elementary Annex, identified as the most reasonable option for housing the central office, at about $1.3 million.
Awaiting additional information, the district is "in the process of trying to evaluate the benefit of selling the (North Market Street central office) building," Steiner said.
Although it appears "the cost is substantially more to renovate one of our other buildings (for use as the central office)," Steiner said, "we haven't abandoned (the idea) yet."
In the meantime, "some other things (have) complicated the issue," Steiner said, referring to the Gault Family Learning Center transferring to The College of Wooster for possible use as college housing.
The loss of the Learning Center as a space for The Littlest Generals "affects more of our kids than that," Reynolds said.
Wooster students are also part of the special education preschool, operated by Tri-County Educational Service Center and located in the center.
Those services are billed back to the district, Tefs said.
That means "the number of (Gault) classrooms we are looking at goes from two to eight," Reynolds said, noting the question is, "Where can we best house those preschool programs?"
An important part of the decision is how to use taxpayer dollars most efficiently, Tefs said.
"Two prime candidates (for preschool space)," Reynolds said, are a portion of Cornerstone Elementary School and the Cornerstone Annex.
"The next piece of the puzzle," he said, is architectural analysis of the options.
Until the district decides where to relocate preschool students, "we can't look at moving the central office," Reynolds said.
If preschool classes are not moved to the Annex, then the district returns to the decision concerning whether it makes sense to move its downtown central office to that building.
The change of Gault Family Learning Center ownership "throws a bit of a wrinkle (into the process)," Barnard said, and creates "a little bit of a sense of urgency."
The next step taken by the board in the overall process of dealing with unused space was the decision to obtain a Realtor's estimate of the market value of the former Lincoln Way Elementary School.

Nuart 2013: M-City Paints the Control Tower of Stavanger (SOLA) International AirportSeptember 11, 2013
View Gallery
We believe it has been confirmed: Polish artist M-City is the first person ever to paint a mural on the control tower of a major international airport. For Nuart 2013, the artist was commissioned by Stavanger Airport (SOLA) in Norway to paint the tower, so when flights come in and out of the airport, the first thing they see is the industrial style of one of the world's leading muralists. Considering Stavanger is a city known for major oil business, we think this is a major coup for Nuart.

The Service to the Armed Forces (SAF) program dates back to the establishment of the American Red Cross by Clara Barton in May 1881. Not only did the "Angel of the Battlefield" risk her life tending to soldiers wounded in the Civil War, she bolstered their morale by writing letters for them to send to their families. Today's American Red Cross workers proudly carry on this tradition through the SAF program, which serves as a critical line of communication between the U.S Armed Forces and their families.
The American Red Cross SAF program supports military personnel, veterans and families across the country and around the world. The SAF mission is supported by thousands of Red Cross volunteers, ranging from civilian to active duty. Today, one in five U.S. adults or their family members have benefited from Red Cross Service to the Armed Forces.

DETROIT The Red Sox are scheduled to play their first doubleheader of the season -- weather permitting. Their last split doubleheader was Oct. 2, 2010 -- the penultimate day of the season -- against the Yankees, with the teams splitting the twinbill.
Right-hander Clay Buchholz will start the early game for the Sox, with lefty Andy Oliver making his first start of the season for the Tigers. Right-hander Josh Beckett and Justin Verlander will start the second game.
Manager Terry Francona has lineups ready for both games, with the second game in pencil, in case something happens in the first game. Francona plans to play Dustin Pedroia in both games, but will make adjustments, if necessary.
Kevin Youkilis will serve as the designated hitter in the first game. It is the fourth time Youkilis will DH this season. He also served as the DH facing lefties on April 12 against the Rays David Price; April 20, the As Gio Gonzalez; and May 7, the Twins Brian Duensing, (he later moved to third base).
The next step for Marco Scutaro, who has been sidelined since May 8 with a left oblique strain, is to take batting practice on the field. He has been hitting off a tee and in the cage. Before he can progress to the field, though, he needs to be examined by team medical director, Dr. Tom Gill, which will take place Monday, when the Sox return to Fenway.
Bobby Jenks, who has been on the DL since May 2 with a biceps strain, is scheduled to pitch an inning in a rehab assignment for Pawtucket today. He could be activated this week.
Daisuke Matsuzaka is on schedule to visit Dr. Lewis Yokum in Los Angeles on Tuesday to get a second opinion on his right elbow. He is still in Japan, but has been in contact with trainer Mike Reinold. Francona said Matsuzaka is feeling better daily and his range of motion is good. The hope is still that Matsuzaka can get his elbow back to full strength through rehab, avoiding surgery.

Credit Card Center Advertiser Disclosure†
Hello. I'm hoping to gain some insight into my situation. 8 years ago my credit was excellent, high 700s fico score with reasonable revolving credit. Made the deciision to go to medical school full time and lived on student loans. 4 years of medical school, maxed out on some credit cards and fell behind payments (bad decisions...), did 4 years of specialty training, earning a nominal stipend, enough tomake ends meet. credit cards went into collection, settled about 20k of debt, . now i'm a full fledged physician earning a good salary, have been on time with my student loan payments for almost a year now, and have been putting aside a good amount for a downpayment on a home. debt to income ratio is 16%.
my question is: with settled debt on my record for 1 of 7 years, good payment history on my current good standing loans, are my chances for approval for a 300k home loan ( with 100k downpayment) slim? i understand that i've made bad decisions in the past, but does my good income, and low DTI ratio, and good payments history thus far make up for anything in the eyes of a mortgage lender? any insights, be it negative and of course positive is greatly appreciated.
A LOT of bads will be overlooked when you are putting 100k into the deal
The older stuff shouldnt be an issue unless there are judgments and those will have to be remedie
are you current on all student loans? Those can be a bit sticky -
So these settled debts, all were sold to collection agencies and some had judgements. That was before my income made a significant jump. Student loans are all up to date and are on automatic drafts toward a 10yr payment plan (med school 6figure student loan). I am in no hurry to purchase a home at this point, but I figured that rent is money not invested and I would actually like to settle in the current location that I am.
I was also thinking if getting a secured credit card or new car loan would be a nice way to show consistency of loan payments.
On a different note, I also have a hefty disability insurance policy. does this have any positive effect when I'm being looked at credit-wise?
Unless you have little to no open credit I normally don't recommend people open up new credit within 6 months of applying for a mortgage. So just depends on how many open trade lines you have now and how long each has been open for, as well as when you plan on applying. It sounds like you have a student loan or two, so that counts towards open credit. After the past derogatory items, it's good to have at least 12 months of re-established credit afterwards.
If there is cash value in the insurance policy (like whole life) then that can help you qualify, but term life insurance that doesn't have cash value doesn't mean anything to lenders.
Information that is needed to determine if you qualify for a mortgage
I pulled up my 3 bureau credit report and all of them pretty much show my job before medical school as my current employer? How can I have this updated?

That doesn't impact your mortgage application. Apparently the information is obtained when you've applied for prior credit, so if you haven't applied for recent credit since you've started your current job then they wouldn't have your current employer yet.

Hip Replacement after Knee Replacement
My aunt had a knee replace last March and has been in terrible pain ever since. Her doctors are telling her that she now needs a hip replacement. She has no pain in her hip, the pain is in the interside of the knee that was replaced.
Problems at the hip can cause knee pain but that is not always the case. If you are still uncertain, get a second opinion.

U.S. farmers who grow specialty canola can now choose a hybrid from the high-yielding InVigor canola portfolio by Bayer CropScience. Bayer CropScience and Cargill introduced L156H, an Invigor Health hybrid with a high oleic oil profile. Bayer CropScience will produce and package the seed and only sell it through Cargill Specialty Seeds & Oils authorized dealers.
"L156H gives farmers the agronomic performance they can count on from InVigor, plus the opportunity to sell at a contract premium," says Tom Schuler, Strategic Business Lead for Seeds and Traits, Bayer CropScience. "At the end of the day, the InVigor Health hybrid helps farmers minimize risk and maximize profit."
As do all the hybrids in the InVigor portfolio, L156H features early-season vigor, the highest rating for blackleg resistance and the LibertyLink trait, which gives farmers an alternative to glyphosate-tolerant systems. In 11 large plot trials across North Dakota and eastern Montana in 2012 and 2013, L156H yielded 10 percent higher than Nexera™ 1012, a competitor's specialty canola hybrid.
"Farmers can earn higher returns by growing specialty canola in a simple program that offers a premium over classic canola," says Rick Wiebe, marketing manager for Cargill Specialty Seeds & Oils. "We are pleased to provide growers more specialty canola hybrid options and herbicide options with the introduction of InVigor Health L156H."
A limited quantity of L156H will be available for the 2014 growing season. Farmers can ask their Cargill Specialty Seeds & Oils authorized dealers for details on obtaining a specialty canola contract and growing L156H.
L156H is the fourth new InVigor canola hybrid introduced by Bayer CropScience for the 2014 growing season. Other new hybrids for the season are L140P - the industry's first hybrid with pod shatter tolerance; L160S - the first InVigor hybrid with sclerotinia tolerance; and L252 - the first InVigor hybrid with high classic canola oil content.

Hello Germany mammas,
Little background-dh and I currently live in France with our kiddos. He has a contract that expires next June (2012). So we will most likely move in the next year. One country that is very attractive for both of us is Germany. i have traveled there extensively (I was an au pair and the mother was German) and every time we visit it just seems great. It seems that the cost of living is affordable, there is lots of support for families, lots of nature activities, kids activities are affordable as well, people seem to be health conscious.
In short I am afraid we, and I especially, are building Germany up to be perfect. I know its not.
So how do you guys find it? Pros and cons?
Things that matter most for us are education, access to cultural events and nature, health care, public transport would be a big plus because I really only want one car (we currently have two). We want to buy a house. Not right away and not a huge mansion, but a nice little house with a garden after about a year or so.
I am cautious be cause moving here was a huge shock. We had wanted top return to Europe for a while but I think we were a bit naive. We live in, what we are told, is a very particular part of France, as it is on the border with Geneva Switzerland. So things here are crazy expensive and there are tons of international people-sometimes to many =). Even if dh was offered a job here for a longer period, it is hard for me and him to envision the quality of life we want for our family.The hard part is that dh works for an international organization where the pay and benefits are great. Still not enough to allow us to buy a home though =(.
Anyway, thanks for any input.
Well, housing depends greatly on where you are going to live. In some of the larger cities like München and Köln, it's really expensive to rent an appartment in the city where everything is readily and easily available , but renting / buying a house out of town is usually doable. What's going to absolutely drive you nuts is daycare though. Daycare here sucks terribly - there aren't enough centers to go around and they have impossible hours. You have to either try to find a nanny - you apply for one through the Jugendamt - to watch your kids or get onto a waiting list for the local daycare center or both. Trying to find something for kids under 3 is hard. And depending on your income, you might find the prices here for organic foods formidable. It's too expensive for us so I only purchase certain organic items. Come to think of it, I think everything here is much more expensive than in the US, but health care really rocks here.
But how do I like it here? I live in Cologne and I love it here, best city in the whole wide world, and I've been here for nearly 20 years now. I'm never moving back.
Me 41, single mom to dd 4/2001 and ds 7/17/2010
It really depends on where you live. As the above poster mentioned, housing is more expensive in larger cities (we lived in Munich for 7 years and housing costs are insane there) and quite a lot less in outlying areas. Transportation is generally very good and reliable but can be very expensive. I try to avoid using the car but too often, it's actually cheaper to drive than to take the train/tram/bus--especially when your children are school-aged and also have to pay. Monthly cards can also be very expensive. You just have to look at what is available to you and do the math to figure out what is the best deal. Generally, it's the bike! ;-) However, biking and walking is very easy to do in most places. Only if you live far flung does it become more of a problem. Btw, we only own one car and rarely use it and certainly don't rely on it.
Also, some places are more child friendly than others. The birthrate here is abysmal and in some places, that is reflected in the attitudes of the people around you. In Munich, when looking for a new flat, we learned to ask up front if children are welcome. Pets are welcome everywhere, children are not. More than once, when we arrived to view a flat, we were turned away as soon as they saw we had (back then) two children! In Munich, mothers and their small children or babies have actually been kicked off of busses or trams because the baby was crying and disturbing others or the small child had a roller (scooter?) with him/her. I could go on. This was all was in Munich. If I was childless, there is no place on earth I'd probably be happier living than Munich. But for families, I can't entirely recommend it. Couples with children were rare, couples with more than one child rarer and people nearly dropped their teeth when I, already mum of a girl AND a boy, became pregnant with my third. Why on earth would the crazy woman want ANOTHER child????? She's already got one of each! Where we live now is not nearly so extreme and two-child families are common and even three-child families are not extreme, though considered "large" LOL. With four kids, we are considered a bit crazy but nothing terrible.
Health care here is fantastic. High quality, complete choice, great covereage. I am chronically hypertensive with a history of pre-ecclampsia but, with my third (in Munich!) was able to find a terrific homebirth midwife with a great back-up OB, so that I was able to have a lovely, peaceful home waterbirth while still having my meds and my condition monitored all through pregnancy. Bascially, I could tailor my care to exactly what I needed. I've been happy with every aspect of our health care here over the years for everyone of us. Health care is terrific!
Education. Ugh. I have three school-aged kids. Two are in grade school, one in secondary school. The schools here are rigid, inflexible and often difficult to work with if your child falls anywhere outside of a "traditional learner". My first has thrived, in spite of my hating the system here, but my second has severe attention deficits and my third has speech delays and problems retrieving information (for the life of me, I don't know what this is called in english!). The school system here is archaic and wholly unequipped to deal with children who have any sort of special needs. If you are lucky enough to live near a specialized school or can stump up the cash for private schools, great. If you are like the majority of us....well, good luck. My husband and I are both active in the children's school parent government, but it is not uncommon to have three different children in three different schools, as we will next year. And the year following, the fourth will be in a kindergarten. Two parents just can't cover all the bases but we do the best we can. And homeschooling is completely illegal. Parents are fined and/or jailed and children have been taken away.
All that said, we are very happy here and unlikely to leave any time soon. We've raised our family here and will likely finish doing so. There are all kinds of bike trails and opportunities to get out and hike and enjoy nature. Definitely lots to see and do. We used to visit the Kaltenberg Mediaval festival every year. It was wonderful! (We live too far now.) There are things I really hate about living here, but the same could be said about living anywhere else, too, and we deal with the crappy bits and enjoy the great bits. If you know and love Germany and are aware that homeschooling is illegal and have your eyes open when you come, I think you will be happy here.
Where in Germany were you thinking of coming?
Please excuse any typos....I've got to run and no time to proof read!
Yeah, I didn't want to say anything about the school system just yet. It also depends on where you live. The system is really archaic as pp said and ridiculously discriminating. And although the whole system is currently in transition (at least in NRW), I'm wondering just how many kids are going to suffer until the politicians can all agree on one non-discriminating system. And this is the point where I get really upset and start ranting.
There is the Hauptschule, which is dying out because no one wants to send their children there anymore. Then there's the Realschule for kids who aren't quite college material and will be learning their profession through an apprenticeship and further schooling. And then there's the Gymnasium where 100 % of the kids are expected to attend college after getting their abitur. However, there are new school forms popping up, and the trend is towards a Gesamtschule (after primary school) for all pre-college degrees including the abitur and the Gemeinschaftsschule (including primary school through to abitur). But even if one of these school new forms exist in your area, you will always find a separate Gymnasium strictly for college-bound kids . . . which is ridiculous because the Gesamtschule offers the abitur just like a Gymnasium. But apparently some people don't want their kids associating with the rest of us peons and therefore the Gymnasium stays. But then, after taking a good look around, I was really disappointed with the "good" Gesamtschule in our area. DD will be going to a Gymnasium instead. But getting into a Gymnasium is similar to getting into college. Which is another reason why I dislike our grade school immensely. All the poor disadvantaged kids (read 90 % of dd's 4th grade class at least) and their parents were strongly (I mean, the parents were told one intimidating horror story after another) discouraged from applying to a Gymnasium. Her teacher had apparently already made up her made that my dd wasn't fit for a Gymnasium based on her grades at the end of the 3rd grade despite all the crap dd had to go through with my divorce, moving, changing schools, etc. But the teacher fortunately changed her mind. In some areas you need the teachers recommendation to get into a Gymnasium or your out of luck. And yeah, it's wierd having to foresee and guess your child's academic future at the tender young age of 9. I mean, come on! It's outrageous. And the Germans just sit on their hands, thinking everything will turn out right in the end.
Ok, I'm off my soapbox now!
Me 41, single mom to dd 4/2001 and ds 7/17/2010
Oh lordy, the secondary schools. Well, let's just say the phasing out of the Hauptschulen is a load of @#! because they are being replaced with the "Werkrealschulen" which everyone knows is the very same thing--the school for the "throw away kids". They've just given it a new name. It's disgusting. This is where the kids who don't achieve the top grades and don't have anyone to fight in their corner for them get dumped. :-( My oldest is in Gymnasium. She's a traditional learner, thrives in this archaic system and has been attending the top Gymnasium in the entire area, the "elite of the elite". Well, aren't we just terrifc? Our daughter not only goes to Gymnasium, but the very top one. Whoopee. My son, however, in spite of testing as highly intelligent, will be attending a Realschule next year because there is no way in h*ll I'm going to put him through that mill, especially since the switch to G8 (as if the G9 wasn't hard enough). He can't cope with it. He has ADD (I suspect, actually, ADHD) and is not at all cut out for that highly competitive, demanding environment. I want him to have a few years to mature and settle a bit and see what it is he actually wants to do. As you point out, Terrilein, they are *children* for crap sake! Why on earth should we be trying to figure out if they are uni material at the tender age of 9 or 10??? It's insane. We could have fought for the Gymnasialempfehlung, but we didn't want it. So, with that, I guess we've just fallen from our high pedestal. Sorry, I'm not sacrificing my child's well-being so that I can have the distinction of having my child in Gymnasium. It's sad how many parents will, though, and fight tooth and nail for Gymnasium. That said, until they changed the system allowing Realschuler to finish the last two years of Gymnasium and complete the Abitur, I can understand why parents fought so hard for Gymnasium. Imagine having so many avenues to future careers shut off to a child at the age 10???
"Empfehlung" what a joke! It's not an Empfehlung down here, either. The teacher decides. End of. I know in Hessen, it's truly an Empfehlung, but in Bayern, Baden-Württemberg and many other states, it's the teacher's decision.
The Gesamtschulen....well, it's a good idea in the right direction, but in practice, it still falls short. We also considered this for our son but, at least the ones in our area, don't have a clear advantage over going the Realschule route and then going on to a Gymnasium and doing the Abitur after the Realschulabschluß. The fact is, the kids are together for 5th and 6th grade and then they seperate them out in the 7th grade into Realschüler and Gymnasium Schüler. It is not Gesamtschule in the same vein that US highschool is. The kids still have to work towards a Realschulabschluß or Abitur. The best idea I've heard of in the works so far, is to extend Grundschule to the 6th grade. That is far off though, if it comes at all, unfortunately. What is really catching on, is Ganztagschule. Great for working parents but not so great for those of us who don't want to send our children to school until 4 PM every day. That was another negative to the Gesamtschulen in our area--they are Ganztagsschulen.
Yes, change is coming, but at a painfully slow rate. I doubt we'll see any significant improvments before our grandchildren start school. I have no hope change will happen in time to do any of my children any good.
Sorry, this is probably rambling and bit inchoherent. I've been dealing with this system for seven years now with three kids, all the while, my sister enjoys the freedom of homeschooling her six children in the US. The system here is broken and it's failing our children, but heaven forbid we allow the parents to step in and take over their children's education. We're too stupid and certainly not to be trusted. <sigh>
The best advice I can give to a concerned parent is to become very active in their child(ren)'s school(s). Become active, vocal and well-known. Your child won't slip through the cracks if you simply will not allow it to happen. But I resent being forbidden from homeschooling my children and being required to educate my children in a broken education system and yet, having to put more effort and worry into their education than if I'd been allowed to just educate them at home!
Well, if you are interested in the Waldorf education system, you are in luck in Germany. In the US, Waldorf is an exclusive education and pretty much only for the rich. Here, it is not free and not cheap but affordable for many. I know in the US we would not be able to afford it, but here we can. I think it's even done on a sliding scale.
As for childcare for young children, if you are lucky enough to find a good daycare provider, the state pays for up to half of it, depending on your income. You could end up paying as little as €2.50 / hour for daycare!!! Depending on who you find, the hours can be good or not. My daycare woman is closed on Tuesdays (?????) and I have to pick DS up at 3pm on Thursdays. Other than that I could leave him there from 8-5 every week day (which I don't but I could). She also takes 6 weeks holiday a year and that definitely leaves me hanging at that time, but then again so do the regular school holidays so it's the same story. I know Germany can be bad for daycare in comparison with other EU countries, but I have found it to be excellent. I think you just have to get in early (we registered DS for preschool and kindergarten when he was 5 months old!).
Good luck!

I meant to add that you really are at the mercy of good or bad teachers. I grew up in a small town and the teachers pretty much make their recommendations who can go to Gymnasium and who can't, and a lot of it was based on "Dorf popularity". E.g. the teacher told my parents that she thought I was too sensitive for Gymnasium despite good grades. Well I went of course and turned out valedictorian and certainly not too sensitive. You still can go to Gymnasium even if your Grundschul-teacher says nope. In some states an aptitude test is required, but it's not terribly hard at all. The system is quite old and if your child is in Gymnasium it is expected that parents help out with learning at home and homework. E.g. when I was in 10th grade we started calculus. The teacher walked in, showed us the book and said by next week you self-study basic functions and we will take a test. Many teachers in Gymnasium don't teach but sit back and expect students to study stuff at home. If I didn't have my dad who knows calculus I would have been screwed. Some classmates hired older students to help out or college kids. Same later on, we didn't have enough time to go over all the biology things in 12th grade for Abiturpruefung. Luckily my sister was in med school back then and could go over the chemical processes of ATP synthesis and all that stuff. It's a bit dry to study it from a book only that doesn't go into every detail which I need to fully understand stuff. Ha but I digress... It's a weird system, but GYmnasium education is a very intense and good one. My mom btw is a special ed teacher. She really tried to help her kids (she's retired now). Once a year she would go to nearby Grunschule and test kids that the local teachers deemed to be problematic. Very often she noticed that the kids were fine, but came from homes that didn't have the means to support their kids' education. She refused to have those kids go to special ed school and instead offered free resources to the parents, and I think my mom spared a lot of kids the stigma of special ed (it is one in Germany) when they were normal kids who just had a different learning strategy. Of course my mom knows how to deal with delays and such and helped the parents to overcome issues at home with their young kids (she invested LOTS of private funds in this). Unfortunately, not all teachers care like my mom does. If my kid had a language delay or something like it back home, I'd hire a Logopaede and private teachers, maybe college kids, because the public system won't do much. And I know so many kids who didn't qualify for Gymnasium and then later joined us in 11th grade and were excellent students. Some kids "click" later with learning and such, hard to say what I mean....
As for living, like PPs said, depends on your area. I paid $450 for my studio in Munich-Schwabing... But everything was close-by! I miss walking to the supermarket!
I never had issues withe health care and I had a public insurance (private is available too). I think I had TKK, it's been so long. Of course I never had a baby in Germany, but my sisters did. They both had a midwife and obgyn. I probably would go for a midwife only, a homebirth or birthing center birth. I love how their midwives made home visits up to 6 weeks postpartum and helped with breastfeeding and recommended herbs for their tears and such. You can also find many peds who first of all know about intact penis care and second of all if you don't vaccinate or do a delay/selective schedule nobody will pester you. Schools couldn't care less about shot records or physicals. A new law requires well baby visits though, but that's doable I guess (it was introduced due to some tragic instances when crazy people starved their kids).
Where are you considering to move to within germany?
Some more detailed info could greatly improve the responses you can get.
If you let me know I may be able to tell you quite a bit about my experience.
Good luck!

This insert has NEVER worked properly. We had it professionally installed, twice because the first team was lazy and did not do an external draw. The control module had to be replaced the first day we had it. The fan continually makes a LOUD rattling, which they have been out no less than 5 times to fix. The unit is rated to heat up to 3800 square feet. It does not even warm the room it is in. The stove shuts down to clean constantly, losing all heat it has produced. It often malfunctions and does not come back on after its cleaning regimen. This usually happens when you are gone all day or in the middle of the night when you are sleeping, leaving the area freezing cold! :-) We do have a large amount of windows in the room, but our forced air heat can heat the area in 5 minutes, the quadra fire won\'t even heat the room. It blows very hot air, but it doesn\'t heat any area. You have to stand directly in front of it to feel its heat. We have not found any real answers as to why it works so poorly. We have had nothing but problems with this stove and are very disappointed in it! If we use our stove, we have to use our other heat exactly as if we were not using the stove, so we in effect spend $250 more a month to enjoy the ambiance of having a fire. Any suggestions would be welcomed. We are currently getting ready to pursue a refund or replacement, as we have had NOTHING but problems with this stove.
Overall, we had just an old fashioned iron firebox insert prior to the quadra fire. Aside from the LARGE amount of work, wood splitting, constant feeding of the fire, etc. We were much happier with the performance of our firebox even with its highly ineffective fan!

Movies in the Park, the City's free outdoor movie series, continues Saturday, June 28, with a screening of the 1939 classic, "The Wizard of Oz," at Heritage Park, 1241 Peachers Mill Rd., Clarksville.
The 'Wizard of Oz,' is rated G, and will be shown at approximately 8:30 p.m. (dependent on sunset).
The Wizard of Oz is an American musical fantasy film produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and the most well-known and commercial adaptation based on the 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum.
Dorothy is a farm girl who lives with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry in sepia-tinted Kansas in the early 1900s. She is in big trouble with a cruel neighbor, Miss Almira Gulch, but Aunt Em, Uncle Henry, and farmhands Hunk, Hickory, and Zeke are all too busy to pay attention to her. Miss Gulch arrives with permission from the sheriff to have Dorothy's dog Toto destroyed for biting her on the leg. He is taken away, but escapes, much to Dorothy's delight.
She runs away from home with him to escape Miss Gulch. They meet Professor Marvel, a phony fortune teller, who realizes Dorothy has run away and tricks her via his crystal ball into believing Aunt Em is ill. As Dorothy returns home worried for her Aunt Em's health, a powerful tornado comes. Unable to get into the storm cellar in time, she runs to her room for safety.
Dorothy is hit in the head by a broken window pane and becomes knocked out on her bed. She wakes up to discover the farm house is being carried aloft by the twister. As she looks out a window to watch the storm, she sees Miss Gulch also caught up inside, while simply pedaling her bicycle. To her horror, Gulch transforms before Dorothy's eyes into a cackling wicked witch on a broomstick.
The farm house crash lands in the Technicolor world of Oz in Munchkin Land. Dorothy is greeted by Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, and the Munchkins, who treat her like a heroine, because her house has killed the Wicked Witch of the East. Her sister, the Wicked Witch of the West, arrives. As she is about to claim the magic ruby slippers from her sister's feet, Glinda transfers them to Dorothy's feet instead. The Witch of the West swears revenge on her (and Toto). Glinda tells Dorothy to follow the yellow brick road to the Emerald City, where the Wizard of Oz might be able to help her get back home.
On her way to the Emerald City, Dorothy meets and befriends the Scarecrow who wants a brain, the Tin Woodsman who desires a heart, and the Cowardly Lion who is in need of courage. (All were played by the actors who played the farmhands.) They decide to join her to ask the Wizard for a brain, heart, and courage respectively, though in truth they each have what they want (the Scarecrow shows signs of wisdom, the Tin Man is very sentimental, and the Lion shows signs of bravery). After some danger, they meet the Wizard (in the form of a flaming head) who agrees to grant their wishes, but not until they bring him the Witch of the West's broom.
On their way to the Witch's castle, the Witch's flying monkeys ambush the four and capture Dorothy and Toto. At the castle, the Witch again fails to get the slippers due to magic, and remembers Dorothy has to be killed first. Toto escapes and leads her friends to the castle. After defeating three Winkie Guards and stealing their uniforms, they march inside and free her, but the Witch and her guards eventually trap them. After she sets the Scarecrow on fire, Dorothy accidentally melts her with a bucket of water as she puts out the flames. The guards unexpectedly rejoice now that she is dead, and give Dorothy the charred broom in gratitude.
Back at the Emerald City, the Wizard still refuses to grant their wishes, but Toto exposes the "Wizard" as a normal middle-aged man (who resembles Professor Marvel) and he admits to being a humbug. He still grants their wishes by giving the Scarecrow a diploma, the Lion a medal, and the Tin Man a heart-shaped pocket watch, and that convinces them that they have what they wanted all along. He then offers to get Dorothy home in his hot air balloon, but Toto runs away and Dorothy follows, and it leaves without her.
Glinda soon arrives and tells her that she can still return home by clapping her heels together three times and repeating, "There's no place like home." She "returns" home to her family, with the farmhands and Professor Marvel by her bedside.
The film stars Judy Garland; Terry the dog, billed as Toto; Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, Bert Lahr, Frank Morgan, Billie Burke, Margaret Hamilton, with Charley Grapewin and Clara Blandick, and the Singer Midgets as the Munchkins, with Pat Walshe as leader of the flying monkeys. Notable for its use of Technicolor, fantasy storytelling, musical score and unusual characters, over the years it has become one of the best known of all films and part of American popular culture. It also featured what may be the most elaborate use of character make-ups and special effects in a film up to that time.
Activities begin at 7:30 p.m. and include face painting, a costume contest, and badminton with Clarksville Parks & Recreation. Movie-goers should be sure to dress as their favorite character to participate in the costume contest!

Electronic Health Record-based programs triples osteoporosis screening rate, study finds
DANVILLE, PA. -- Use of the Electronic Health Record tripled the rate of osteoporosis screenings in women who are at risk for the disease, according to a study conducted recently by a team of Geisinger Health System researchers.
About half of those who were screened were considered high-risk for the disease, the study found.
An estimated 10 million Americans suffer from the disease and the nation collectively spends about $18 billion per year on bone fractures related to osteoporosis.
EHR-screening programs can help improve those numbers, make patients� everyday lives less painful and save doctors time and resources, said Dr. Eric Newman, Geisinger�s Director of Rheumatology.
The EHR was used to identify women who had not had bone density screens for osteoporosis in the last two years. Those women were sent letters and received telephone calls if their records were flagged.
"This is pretty significant," said Dr. William Ayoub of Geisinger Medical Group-Scenery Park, State College, one of the study�s authors. "The EHR is streamlining the screening process and letting people know about a potential health concern before it becomes a major problem."
The EHR screening program was started in two Geisinger family practice clinics near State College, Pa. It was so successful that there are now plans to implement the program at other sites throughout the Geisinger system, Newman said.
Geisinger Health System is widely recognized as a leader in EHR implementation and development. Osteoporosis screening is one of the specific areas in which Geisinger has used its fully implemented $70 million Electronic Health Record, Newman said.
"We are clearly out there trying to prevent fractures from occurring," Newman said. "We proactively want to identify women who are at a great risk for osteoporosis."
The study was presented at the American College of Rheumatology's annual meeting in Washington D.C. in November. Just one in 10 papers were accepted for oral presentation at the meeting.
About Geisinger Health System
Geisinger Health System is one of the nation's leading fully integrated healthcare providers. Founded in 1915, Geisinger serves more than two million residents throughout central and northeastern Pennsylvania. The physician-led organization is at the forefront of the country's rapidly emerging electronic health records movement. Geisinger includes three major regional medical centers, a 650-member group practice, a not-for-profit health insurance company, and the Geisinger Center for Health Research�dedicated to creating innovative new models for patient care, satisfaction and clinical outcomes.

Jules Massenet: Werther
In the middle of summer, the widowed magistrate is rehearsing Christmas carols with his young children. Werther, who comes to visit, rhapsodizes on the wonders of nature. When he sees the love that the children have for their sister Charlotte, the magistrate's only adult daughter, he is deeply impressed. Left alone with Charlotte, he declares his love for her. However, Charlotte evades his advances and tells him of a promise she made to her dying mother: to marry Albert, her fiancé. The news arrives that Albert has returned home. In deep despair, Werther is left alone.
Several months after Albert and Charlotte's wedding, the two rivals have occasion to talk. Albert seems to have forgiven Werther for his earlier passion. Charlotte and Werther are hardly left alone when Werther renews his protestation of love. Charlotte once again rejects him and forbids seeing her again until Christmas time. Werther rushes out, leaving Sophie, Charlotte's fifteen-year-old sister, in tears. She is unhappily in love with him.
On Christmas day, Charlotte, who now realizes that she loves Werther, is reading his letters. She is alarmed by the threat contained in one of his letters to commit suicide. When Sophie joins her and talks about Werther, Charlotte collapses in tears. Shortly after Sophie leaves, Werther arrives quite unexpectedly. He demands a kiss, which Charlotte refuses him. Werther then leaves Charlotte and sends Albert a letter, asking him for his pistol. Albert duly has it sent to him. Charlotte remembers Wether's threats of suicide, and she rushes out to find him. However, by the time Charlotte finds him, he is already dying. Now that it is too late, she admits that she loves him. In the distance, the children are heard singing the Christmas carol that they were practicing in the summer.

Bulls sophomore defensive Ryne Giddins picked up right where he left off last season, only this year there are a new set of circumstances.
This year, Giddins, who started two games while playing behind then-seniors Craig Marshall and David Bedford last year, has a starting role staring him directly in the face.
"He's certainly stepped his game up," USF defensive ends coach Vernon Hargreaves said. "There were guys in front of him last year, and the idea was to go take (their job) but it was a little bit of a luxury (to have Giddins as a backup). So now, he knows he has a chance to win the job and he's starting to perform that way. If he keeps working the way he is, he'll have it."
After an injury riddled and somewhat disappointing freshman season, Giddins, from Armwood High School in Tampa, started to make considerable strides in the second half of last season. He finished with 19 tackles and was third on the team with 3.5 sacks while playing behind Marshall and Bedford most of the year.
Giddins has carried his strong play over to the spring, leaping to the first-team on the depth chart along with senior Patrick Hampton, while drawing continuous praise from his coaches.
"Right now, I think he's doing everything," said USF coach Skip Holtz, who will watch his team conclude spring practice with a final scrimmage today on campus at 5 p.m. "He's got a great attitude, great work habits, but I think he can go from a guy who was a non-starter to a guy who is a real difference maker."
But despite being the favorite to start at defensive end, Giddins and Hampton are keeping a humble approach while being pushed by guys like senior Claude Davis and sophomore Julius Forte, who have also had a good spring.
"We don't look at it as the next two in line," Giddins said. "We have to compete. It's not about, 'Oh, just because I was second last year doesn't mean I'm going to be first'. I still have to fight for my starting position. I just thank God for the opportunity to be that starter."
"P-Hampton, he's a real good guy. That's going to be a guy that I'm going to lean on, he's going to lean on me and we're going to look for each other to make plays."
Said Hampton on stepping in to a bigger role: "It's definitely motivation, but it's also kind of like pressure. I haven't been in that position for a while now. I started a couple games last year, and Ryne started a couple games last year too, but we haven't really felt that pressure of being that guy."
To take that step to becoming a different-maker, as Holtz phrased it, Giddins said he's working on "technique to put me in a better leverage on the offensive lineman when he's got reach or I got him - keep that leverage."
And not that it's lacking, but Hargreaves said Giddins has to continue to focus on his consistency from play-to-play with the assumption of a larger role come next fall.
"Just his overall play - being able to play for extended periods of time, which is not sometime he had to do last year because we had David," Hargreaves said. "So now, if he has a chance to be the starter, he's probably going to play a few more plays a week. Just being able to fight through it and play a few more snaps is the biggest thing. "
Giddins, one of the highest rated recruits in program history when he signed with the Bulls in 2009, said he's ready to do whatever it takes to succeed on the field.
"I'm definitely willing to take on a challenge and step up and fill the shoes that they left for me," Giddins said. "That's what I'm ready to do, willing to do. I'm ready to put in the effort, the pain, the sweat, and tears. I'm willing to do it."

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer.
Were you paid for those jobs?
Thank you for the quick response.
Now back to your initial post:
I have a consulting business using a sub contractor for work. Our cash flow is in serious trouble and invoices are behind. My question is, if we move to bankruptcy is there a possibility of felony theft if we are unable to pay the remaining invoices we owe to our sub contractor, currently in excess of 85K
Response: No. However, the subcontractor may file objection to your bankruptcy by alleging fraud since you were paid for the job but you did not pay the subcontractor after receiving the payment. The objection would be to dischargeability of the $85,000.00 debt. If or when this objection is filed, it is essential that you respond to it. The Court would then make a ruling on whether the debt should be discharged or not--should be wiped out in the bankruptcy.
Where is your follow it up question?
I did not see it.
Did you address it to AttorneyPhillips?
Kindly resubmit it and make it attention to AttorneyPhillips so that I will be able to see it.

Great Stay
We had a great stay here at Cardiff Bay.
We mainly chose this hotel as it was closest to the Dr Who experience. It was about a 10 minute walk. The lady on the desk when we check in gave us a map so we could see where we needed to go and she explained where there places to eat and other attractions like the beach and fun fair attraction. We booked the breakfast for the next morning as the picture on the desk of the breakfast looked nice. The quality of the breakfast was very good and there was plenty of choice. In fact we booked it again for the next morning also. A very pleasant stay. Thank you.

Room not ready despite being charged for early check in, unable to refund. Dirty, stained sheets, stained carpet (more stains than original pattern)
Really not good enough at £92 plus £10 for early check in which was only available 1.5 hours after specified time.
