My brain isn't working right now so replace "thingies" with...whatever I was intending to say. lol
I was thinking of giving DS an allowance...$5 a month because he's 5 years old. I thought maybe doing a dollar a week and the extra dollar on the last day... and attach each dollar at the end of a week on a calendar and mark off the chores written on it when he does them, and then he gets his dollar? Or does anyone have a better idea? And what chores do you have for your 5-ish-year-old? (He'll be 6 in December.)

yikes mama. do you think a dollar a month is the right amount. 5 bucks a week seems fair.
gosh if you make the $$$ amount too low its not worth him doing anything.
dd has been getting 5 bucks a week since she turned 5 from her dad for folding and putting clothes away, sweeping the floor, the backyard, sorting the clothes into colours.
her dad's philosophy is money for chores.
dunno. i dont go into it. dd does way more chores at my home for no money. she gets no allowance from me.
I don't pay for chores. Chores are just part of life but DS does get an allowance. He is 11 and his allowance is in the range of 25-$40/month. It depends on how much extra $ I have and if he gets a 'bonus' or not. He is expected to buy some of his own 'stuff'. Like I don't buy extra Lego sets, video games etc unless its a holiday or birthday. Friday we were at the craft store, I 'needed' yarn for a new project. Once we were there DS decided he 'needed' halloween socks and some wooden cut outs for halloween. He paid for his items, about $6.00. He also has a very difficult time keeping track of chapstick, I will get him 1 tube every few months, after that DS needs to buy his own. Granted the chapstick is like a buck but I am not buying that every couple weeks.
I should say DS has his own bank account and pre-paid card, 2 different things. So its easy for me to log on and just transfer $$ to him. I have shown him how to log on and view his account, monitor his transactions, access money at the ATM, etc.
I will say DS is more conscious of coupons (like at the craft store) and watches for sales for the stuff he wants. Surprisingly he doesn't loose things as often either.
In the next couple years I see his allowance increasing to cover the difference in the cost of clothes. For example I budget $25 for jeans and he wants the $50 jeans, he can make up the difference type thing. Right now I cover everything. Plus he really doesn't go 'out' with friends.

My daughters are 6.5 and 5. Beginning just before dd1's 5th birthday I started to give allowance-- one quarter for every year each week. So now she gets 6 quarters and my youngest 5 (no extra for 5.5!) We do not tie allowance to chores. Allowance is for learning about how to handle money, both emotionally and financially. And, wow! What big lessons! I'm glad that the lessons are learned with 1.50 and not 20.00. In the 2 years we have come a long way. DD2 started getting allowance, but at first only because her sister got it. They also get "extra allowance" for lost teeth and birthdays.
The best advice I heard for me was that if it hurts you to see your child blowing his money, then you are giving him too much. For a 5yo, learning about money, desire-- "dragon lust" we call it after the Hobbit-- is a big enough ride. Keep it small, keep it simple.
As self-employed parents we have the chance to give out kids meaning ful work if they wanted, and they made $25 each dogsitting once. What a landfall! They really did all the work for 5 days because I told them it was all-or-nothing. Now my oldest wants to start a stand and sell jelly. Well, we'll get to that eventually!
"Let me see you stripped down to the bone. Let me hear you speaking just for me."
btw food for thought.
'me personally' am not into allowance. i never have been. we are super poor so that is a life lesson right there. i have done exercises to teach her the concept of money. yes even at 5. here is $X. you want to eat that for dinner but i have that much of money. this is a list of ingredients we have to buy. shall we change the menu to fit the budget?
when we have money we splurge. when we dont we cant. but its a 'we' thing. not her and me thing.
she gets it. in fact in 3rd grade her teacher was impressed by how much real life experience dd had with money as she was calling out on word problems dealing with cost of things.
We don't do allowances, we do offer something they may want as an incentive. We plan to get it anyway but I always ask for a little help and they usually give it. They don't get a lot of stuff so they're always willing to trade their time for something they can finally get. Sorry I'm no help. I feel it's this families house and we all like it a certain way. They like being able to find their clothes and knowing where things are. I like not stepping on piles to get in their room.
DS1 is 7 years old and he gets $7 a week. 50 cents goes into savings, and another 50 cents goes into donation fund. Every March (his birthday) he take the money in the donation fund and finds a charity he'd like to donate to. So really his "take home" is $6.
We don't tie allowance to chores either. We don't buy him any toys (except bdays and christmas, etc). He has to save up to buy video games, toys etc. I have to say I've been pleasantly surprised at how well he does saving his money to buys what he wants.
20 dollars a month??? For a five-year-old? That sounds crazy to me. DD's almost five and I can't imagine giving her that much money. And there's no way I could give her 20 a month and DS 28 dollars a month. That's more money than my kids need to have.
yikes mama. do you think a dollar a month is the right amount. 5 bucks a week seems fair.
gosh if you make the $$$ amount too low its not worth him doing anything.
dd has been getting 5 bucks a week since she turned 5 from her dad for folding and putting clothes away, sweeping the floor, the backyard, sorting the clothes into colours.

dunno. i dont go into it. dd does way more chores at my home for no money. she gets no allowance from me.
I would consider giving them money to save for things they may want. I just don't want to pay them for things. I would rather we all work together than split up chores. It works better that way for us. I don't want it to be oh I can either do this and get some money or not do it and get nothing. My girls... would never have money if that was in play. But then again that's just us. Our family runs to a different tune. So I've been told by so many. Oh well.
well if you are getting paid for chores, isnt that a fair deal.
plus the idea was to save up for something. a toy or something you cant buy them. within a month that is an attainable goal. otherwise if you just wanted an icecream at a dollar a week you'd have to save up at least 2 to 3 weeks to get an icecream - a bottom of the line crappy icecream.
i guess if you have more kids that does add up for the parent.
but for dd's dad 5 bucks for a healthy treat a week for a school going child was reasonable. at 6 dd made $20 bucks one afternoon for sweeping a friend's large backyard (she had broken her arm), helping with giving the dog a bath and folding clothes adn putting them away. for the amount of work dd did it was absolutely worth every single penny.
Ok meemee, that begs to question... why can't they learn to do things for the joy of helping someone else? My girls often help the elderly neighbor with all sorts of things. Payment isn't an option and they do it because he needs the help. They walk away feeling as though they have done a good thing. They don't help him for money. Though with your thinking they could have made a fortune already.
They helped the neighbor lady across the street by watering her yard the week she vacationed. She gave them 10 each. Both were puzzled about the whole thing. Asked me if I wanted the money for the grocery store. I have a hard time with them getting money to buy "things". I don't feel good about giving them money to do what needs to be done. They know I need help sometimes because of my RA and they'll help without me asking. Or if they see I have a task to accomplish they'll pitch in. I think it would ruin their view of doing what needs to be done if I put a monetary value on it.
That being said, if I have the money for something they want they get it. Usually they know I don't have the money for it and they've come to understand that when they do get something it's a treat and not because they had to do my bidding to get it. Rewarding by praise and appreciation goes a lot further in my mind.
We don't give money for chores. Chores are part of keeping a family running, and without them, the house falls apart. Chores are not equivalent to a 'job' for a child, IMO, they're part of daily life. I don't get paid for household chores and neither should they.
We do, however, give an allowance (when we remember -- right now we're down to about every 3 months because I keep forgetting and my kids don't remind me). We started with $1 or $2 (can't remember) a week at age 5. We then asked the kids to place 1/2 of the money in 'spending', 1/4 in savings and 1/4 in giving. We had separate jars for each.
Here's what I discovered: My kids don't spend ANY of the money. Ds will, if prodded, spend some of the giving money. Dd has hopelessly mixed hers (she likes to take out her money and count it), and now she won't spend any of it for charity. (She is, however, willing to do extra chores to earn money for charity -- we have a charity project at church that she's doing extra things for right now.) I'm not very comfortable with the extra chores = money, and probably won't continue it. Dd regularly helps weed the garden, set the table, etc. and I'm afraid this is going to kill her natural desire to help. (Ds, on the other hand, likes to be served and never does extra unless directly asked. however, he doesn't mind parting with his money.)
Dd claims she's going to save all her money for college. However, she's really coveting an American Girl doll, and might be willing to part with her stash for that. (She's trying to talk me into paying for 1/2, as she's 'only' got $50. We're looking on Ebay, and her latest was that she'd pay for the doll and I'd pay for shipping!)
My conclusions:
1. Five is too young to start an allowance. They don't really have 'wants' for spending money until they're older. Maybe my kids are less acquisitive than some, but they get money (from relatives) and gifts at Christmas and Birthdays, and we provide basic clothing. We get our books at the library 99% of the time. 10-11 is a better age to start, for my kids at least.
2. Chores should be part of the family routine. It makes the child feel like a contributing member of the family. Money for chores diminishes that.
I don't think 5 is too young for an allowance, at least I don't think that all 5yo's are too young. It is an iffy age, I'll agree, and parents should be mindful. Sometimes the only way to find out is to start at some point. Since it's hard to back out, start small. Very small. $1/week is not too small (over $2/week I think is too much). My girls find all kids of little Playmobil animals (in the bulk bin--guinea pigs are .35, puppies .85, foals 1.50 etc). They save up for coloring books, larger animals, etc. It's hard for them to save more than about $7 before wanting to spend it. I'm keeping an eye out for more ambitious desires and the self-discipline to save up for it. Maybe then we'll up the allowance, but not by much. They have lots of ways to make money if they want, they could dog-sit or cat-sit, they can figure it out.

Hey Im. i get you and i agree with you. i was describing dd's dad's point of view and why he does what he does. i differ from him. we dont do allowance at home coz for us a lot of decisions are centered around money. so the concept of money happens naturally.
charity and savings. now savings obviously dd gets because if she wants a new game she has to save for it. however with charity - we have more time than money and dd is involved with that process. so for her charity is inherent. not something you do if you have money to spare. its something you do because you see the need around you.
i hate the focus on 'money'. i'm more about concepts and money for our family is not the way to learn them.
We don't do allowance. It is something we're talking about right now, so that my change. They won't get an allowance for chores though. I really can't imagine giving my 5 year old $20 a month though.
My kids have chores and a chore chart. When they've filled up their chart, they can exchange it for a coupon. These coupons are for picking the movie on movie night or staying up late, things like that. Chores are part of our family and we all do our part. The chores I put on their chore chart are things I need them to work on, like making beds. It just helps make it a habit in a positive way, not a nagging way.
We do pay for extra jobs. That's a good way of getting them to understand that they can make extra money by doing a job and doing it well. We only buy them toys/games on birthdays and Christmas so any other things they want to buy, they do with their own money.
My 5 year old's chores are:
helping unload the dishwasher
keeping his room clean
setting the table
dealing with his laundry (I wash, he puts away)
making his bed
Weekly, my kids (5 and 9) clean their areas; bedrooms, playroom and bathroom.
I gave my dd a dollar a week at that age. I think it is a nice amount because she got enough to spend on the things she wanted by saving without getting so much that she would start getting a bunch of junk for the sake of getting junk. I think a large allowance teaches kids to be materialistic, though for some kids making it too small can do the same if what they really want is to spend.
As it turned out my dd really didn't want to spend it that often for the first couple years. She really planned her purchases and was fine saving it up for long periods of time. She did go through a really big spending splurge stage when she was seven but has learned a lot about how nice it is to plan purchases because of that. She didn't learn the first time she blew her money on an immediate want then didn't have money for something she had been planning for, but after a few months of splurging and realizing she didn't really play with the splurges once she had them she was able to go back to planning on her own. When she was seven I raised her allowance to $2 a week because she is saving for bigger things, like an American Girl Doll, now and I want to make it more attainable. She also gets to choose what to do with her birthday money, usually she puts most of it into savings and keeps about $20.
I don't link allowance to chores because they are a requirement, I am not okay with my dd deciding not to do chores because she doesn't care about having her allowance for the week. I do make up jobs and pay her a little extra sometimes when she is really eager to make some extra money and she can earn extra money by walking the dog for her grandpa though. I think that if you decide to link allowance to chores you need to pick chores that you don't mind having to do yourself and you need to be comfortable not paying him when he doesn't live up to his part of the deal.
We don't do allowances (and don't intend to), and chores are part of being a member of the household. We all need to help out. However, 6 year old DD does have the option of doing extra tasks for money (as will DS when he's older). She knows it's an option, so when she feels she needs/wants more money, she comes to talk to me. We discuss what all I need done, she throws in her ideas, we agree on the task(s), and then negotiate reasonable compensation. The opportunity to learn to manage money is certainly there, but that money must be earned. Reason being, I want my kids to learn that in a family everyone needs to work together to keep the household running smoothly, even if they aren't getting a monetary reward for it, I want them to understand the importance of hard work, and the value of money. At the moment, DD's chores consist of clearing and cleaning the table after meals and snacks, putting away toys, putting away clean dishes, putting her laundry in the washing machine (I wash and fold), putting away her clean clothes, keeping her room tidy, taking out the garbage, and taking scraps to the compost heap. To earn money, common tasks include sweeping and scrubbing the kitchen floor, wiping down cabinets, reorganizing the pots and pans (which her 14 month old brother loves to reek havoc on), weeding the garden, vaccuming, and helping to clean out the fridge. I pay her very little for these tasks (usually $0.10-$2.00), but we have very little coming in to begin with, we live very simply, and I want her to learn to save, stretch, and choose what's really important to her.
It's good to teach them that in order for all things to run smoothly we all need to pitch in. The girls know that if mama spends a lot of time cleaning, then they have less time with me to play around. It's much more fun to get it all done together and then find something fun to do with all our extra time.
Hmm. Lots of things to think about. I have a hard time agreeing with the "no allowance for chores" thing but at the same time I have a hard time disagreeing with it too. Perhaps, he could have his very basic chores (pick up after himself, etc.) and does those regardless, and then has "extras" that he does for allowance. I do want him to understand that there's crap you gotta do that you'll never get paid for, but I also want him to start understanding the awesomeness of doing something and getting paid for it.
For the basic you-do-it-no-matter-what things (picking up after himself is really the main one for me) ... how the bloody hell do I "enforce" it? It just snowballs and then I feel overwhelmed. For a while there it was okay because I was telling him throughout the day to pick up X, Y and Z, but lately I've been so busy with school and no one else in the house bothers to ask him to pick up (it's a long, LONG story why this is even an issue lol and it would probably be more deserving of its own thread).
I definitely think $5 a week would be way too much. Honestly, he NEVER spends his money. He's got lots of change in a couple banks right now and he NEVER spends it. So I'm not worried about him blowing it all on candy either. lol (He never asks for that stuff when I go to the store either, phew! The worst habit he has is asking me on our Friday movie nights for a "heat-em-up" aka one of those horrid Kid Cuisine TV dinners, yick! lol)
- E . Single mom to DS E (15.12.05), T (reincarnated 18.04.08) and DD A (11.02.11) and Hoppy
I set aside specific times for chores, and we have a pretty strict "work before play" rule. DD understands that if she wants to have fun, she needs to take care of her responsibilities first. If she doesn't want to do her chores, that's fine, but nothing fun is happening until she does. Once, she decided she didn't want to do chores anymore. It lasted about a week. I didn't really make a big deal out of it, and stepped in to handle her share of household duties. A few times she came up to me wanting to do something with me (like play a game) and I responded with "Sweetie, I would love to play Shoots & Ladders with you, but you don't want to help out around the house anymore, so I have a lot more work to do now. I just don't have time to play anymore." She decided to start doing her chores again pretty quickly. It's never been a problem since. For awhile she did have a problem with forgetting, and as did I with a newborn in the house, so during that time period I set alarms on my phone and posted checklists. The alarms were to remind me that it was time for a certain transition period, like the one that went off an hour before her bedtime so I could remind her to make sure she had everything done and get a story picked out, while I made chammomile tea and started getting the baby settled down. That way we both had the chance to do what we needed to do, and then we still had plenty of time to cuddle up for story time before bed. I have a really hard time falling into a routine, so the alarms were pretty important on my end. As for the checklists, there was a morning checklist on the bathroom door (the first place she headed in the morning) to remind her of what needed to be done before school, an evening checklist beside it to remind her of what needed to be done before bed, and an afternoon checklist on the front door for her to check before she ran out to play. After awhile we fell into the routine and neither of us really needed any of that anymore, though any time our routine changes, she asks for new checklists. She really likes doing things on her own and loved the checklists because they were a tool to help her get everything done, but still all by herself.
My kid are 10 and 12 and they have each gotten an allowance for years. They started at $2/week and stayed there. Then they both went to $10/month. DD is now in junior high and when she started junior high we moved her allowance to $25/month.
The purpose of an allowance, in our household, is to teach money handling skills. It is not, therefore, tied to chores. Basic chores are done because they are part of a family and without doing basic chores a household would fall apart. Very occasionally there are extra chores that may be paid. One thing about not tieing chores and allowance: if you say that you do chores to get allowance, that implies the option of NOT doing chores if you don't want the allowance. It is a very common issue with teens to decide that they would rather not do the chores and not get the money.
Allowance is, as I said, about money handling/budgeting. Because of that, when the kids first started getting allowance they were given it in coins and had to count the money to us. So, identify the different coins and then count it up to $2. This wasn't an issue for them, but I'm not sure when that is a common skill (DS was doing this by four). For us, it really cut down on them wanting us to buy them small things because we just put it on their "list" and the could buy things themselves. They were responsible for candy, knick knacks and whatever else they wanted to buy.
Our goal, though, is for them to be more self-sufficient as they get older. DD is 12 now and gets more money but also has more monetary responsiblities. Instead of just buying things she wants, she is also responsible for buying her friends birthday gifts, dance/activity fees at school (not things like books or participation fees, but the small admission fees they put on dances and other after school events). She has also bought herself a few items of clothing when I said no (like this fall, I had already bought her a hoodie on vacation, so she had 3-5 lightweight jackets and she wanted another: she bought that one).
Ideally, each year or so we would add more money to their allowance and more responsiblities to what they are responsible to buy. I know that some families even make each child responsible for at least one bill (they provide the money, but the kid needs to open the bill, look at the bill, arrange for a check to be sent through bill pay, etc...). We'll see if we do that. I would definatley like them to eventually be responsible for all their school costs, their clothing, and their outside of family entertainment. Let me be clear: I don't expect them to earn the money to pay for it, we will provide it. Rather, I want them to be responsible for budgeting and physically making the payments.
As for the OP. You also asked about chores for a five year old. Possible chores:
- unload dishwasher
- set table
- collect garbage from around house
- take out recycling
- make bed
- put non-hangable clothes away
- put whites away from laundry
- pet care
Good luck!
I also don't tie chores to the allowance, although that's something that husband and I didn't agree on at first, and I'm still not sure he understands the way I'm doing it.
My twins are 6 1/2 . I give each boy (little sister is too young) $12 a month. Half I have already dumped into their savings account for the whole year, which means they see 6 a month. I've been paying every three months (becasue I'm having a hard time remembering, and it does seem 'better' to get 18 dollars rather than 6 at payday.). They are responsible for paying for their library fines (because we had some lost books, that were later found under and behind the bunkbeds.I'm not talking about fines I incur because I didn't get us there.), and then they can do as they see fit. But they have to have a written plan for their money, not just money burning a hole in their pocket that they spend on the first thing they see.
Like TiredX2, we see allowance as an opportunity to learn how to handle money, not for chores. Our elementary age kids (11, 10 and 7) get $2 a week. The local Credit Union comes to the school, and they decide for themselves how much to put in the bank account and how much to spend. If the older two want extra money, they work on their businesses (both are young entrepreneurs, and I am so proud of them). The only time I offer money for chores is if it is something way beyond expected. Like, this summer my 11 year old DS mowed an acre with a push mower for me when DS and I were working too much to keep up (I'm so glad the rest of our property is field and woods!). That was a big deal, so I did pay him.
Busy keeping up with three children and an awful lot of chickens!
My son just turned 5 last month and my husband and I have been discussing doing an allowance. We have been considering $1 a week and he will only receive it if he has behaved for the week, not given us any trouble with his chores. He will earn more if he has behaved extremely well, thought of others before himself, etc. We're trying to figure out the ratio of putting his $ into savings while also giving him spending $. Any ideas would be great! <3

We tried a non-money reward system with our almost 4 year old and it didn't work. He didn't really get the concept of "dollarz" and he doesn't really understand about real money either.
We do expect him to do chores and we'll give him tangible rewards for really great behavior.
When he's older we might do an allowance for extra chores or for asking to mow the lawn, things like that, but we believe that he's responsible for age appropriate chores and daily jobs around the home because he's a member of our family. I want him to understand how to manage money, but I think he's not mature enough (and might not be mature enough for a while) for that. I want to get him a kiddie checking account (with the stamps in the deposit record, like I had) when he's just a little older. I think it can be fun for him, a great teachable moment and also a good time for one-on-one time with a parent since he'll be the oldest of 3 soon. Also, MIL works at a bank and I am sure it would be a fun thing to do for a grandparent day out also.
Do they still have those little bank books with fun stamps? I think mine were dinosaurs with the monitary amount in a box so we could keep track. Maybe they do it with little kiddie check cards now, lol, who knows!
Great thread - newcomer here, I spend more time in Montessori forum. I have a 3 yo with no allowance so I'm eager to see the responses so I can decide what I'll do.
At this point - but, I'm looking for other perspectives, I intend to start an allowance at the age of 5 (maybe 4) depending on her awareness of the concept of money. Small enough so it covers her basics (I'll explain what I mean by basics in next paragraph), but enough so after basics, there is incentive to save or result from squandering.
We started with the concept of money when she was 2. Ever since she could walk, when we went to the local food co-op , I put a dollar in her woven shopping basket and if she wanted a banana (her favorite treat at the store), she was expected to go to the counter herself and buy her own banana (and then eat it as we were shopping). The workers at the store love her - they know it's Sunday afternoon when Lindsey is at the counter with a dollar to buy her banana. They know her by name, and don't know my name.
She's 3 - I give her the dollar in the car before we even go in the store. No big deal. But, she understands the concept that you must have money to buy something. In fact, there are times where I didn't have enough cash, she could only get her banana, but not anything else until we were done shopping and I bought everything with debit card (another lesson in 10 years *ha*).
I look forward to the day where I can say: Lindsey, this is your allowance (given the day BEFORE shopping, to associate allowance = shopping)- you can use it to buy your special items. If you want your banana treat, or a toy - you will buy it. I'm envisioning her excitement at going to her "money box" and getting a dollar so she can buy her own banana, and then being able to put the change back in her box, rather than me pocketing it.
Personally, I won't tie chores to money (except as a penalty, where she must pay for me doing her chores) - As a participant of the household, my daughter will be expected to do chores. As a participant of the household, an allowance is her bounty of the household budget. She will do her chores - I have enough logical forcing mechanisms - no TV until everything is picked up, we will eat after we put away dishes, time for bed after things are put away. Or, a la Loving Logic, I'll be happy to charge her to put her toys away (obviously associating it close enough in time so that my putting her toys away on Saturday night means she doesn't have enough money for a banana on Sunday shopping). Granted, we may have a miserable day at the store (including leaving a half-full cart) if I explain that she spent her money by paying me to put away her toys the previous night.
Any thoughts or comments - I really hope that the requirement for chores, household maintenance is part of being a participant of the house. Allowance is part of the bounty of the household - it is enough to pay for basics each week (for us, maybe it's just a banana at age 4) and save the change for extras like a toy (off cycle from Christmas or birthday). If she doesn't want to do her chores, she can pay me (recognizing the impact within 48 hours - even if we don't need to get food, I go will shopping within 48 hours so she can face the consequences - trust me, before shopping when we go to look for a dollar, she'll have hint that she's "broke") - and I fully expect that day when she says: I want my banana - do you have your dollar - no - why not - i gave it to you to put away my toys - sorry, no banana.
Screaming fit - we will leave the store with an apologetic smile to people there explaining that this is a lesson. I'll probably notify the staff in the store in advance that at times I may leave the cart with a screaming child who didn't have enough money for a banana.
Following week, if she decides she doesn't want to put away her toys, I'll ask her - do you want to pay me a dollar to put away your toys? Remember, if you give me your dollar, you cannot get a banana (a ritual since she was about 18 months old).
I see this as increasing in amount - to and from. I'll charge her the "banana dollar" to put away her toys or $5 to clean her room - in essence, her charge/penalty will closely equal the weekly amount. I'm also not adverse to saying: You don't want to put it away? That's fine - I will - I don't want it and I'll put it in the trash.
Chores are part of everyone's life. Everyone who lives in my house pitches in except the cat. My breadwinning dh does his share, too. Having a tidy home means we can relax better and invite folks over whenever we want. No one gets out of some routine chores unless they are sick in bed.
The allowance is to learn to spend or save. My kids have done both at different times. Sometimes they save up for an Ipod or a skateboard.. other times they buy silly stuff till their pockets are empty. But that's all in learning to manage money.
I have a friend who gets all the parenting stuff "wrong". She tied allowance to chores and her kid within a couple of weeks flat out refused to do chores anymore. He didn't like emptying the cat box and cleaning his room for a mere 10 bucks a week. Things got pretty ugly at their house until she back-pedaled and started over.

A twice escaped Clay County inmate ended his latest stint on the run Monday night in Anderson, Ind.
About 7:26 p.m. Monday, U.S. Marshals arrested Marquis D. Boyd, 23, of West Point, following a brief car chase. He was booked at 7:50 p.m. into Madison County Detention Center in Anderson, Ind., where he was held without bond. Boyd was scheduled to appear in court at 1 p.m. Tuesday in Anderson.
Clay County Sheriff Eddie Scott said deputies were awaiting the results of Boyd's hearing to determine the next course of action. Results were unavailable as of press time Tuesday.
"It'll all depend if he decides to sign the waiver of extradition," Scott said. "If he signs the waiver, we can go get him immediately. If he refuses then it'll just take a little more time. We'll have to go through the DA's office. … Either way, he's coming back. Hopefully we can get this done before the week's up."

HYDERABAD/NEW DELHI: After attacking Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasrin here on Thursday, the Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) on Friday threatened today to implement a "fatwa" of death sentence against her even as Vice President-elect Hamid Ansari led Muslim intellectuals in flaying the assault on Nasreen.
"There is a fatwa against her and the fatwa is one and all for the entire Muslim world, whether it is Salman Rushdie or Taslima Nasrin," MIM leader Akbaruddin Owaisi said.
"If Taslima makes another visit to Hyderabad, yes we will try to implement the fatwa on her," he said.
The "fatwa" had been issued way back in 1994 by a radical Islamic group in Bangladesh protesting her alleged blasphemy. — PTI

The diff will not be your issue. You are buying a transmission that is set up for a different clutch type. In 06 they changed the clutch to a push type clutch. All the prior WRX's were a pull type clutch. You will need more than just the tranny to make it work in your car.
thanks alot dude!...i decided against it because it does seem like to many variables..lol i just want a direct bolt on replacement to mined with BA gears....will the late 04-05 transmission bolt right up ? or will i need to find Axle Stubs also..

Cairn India investors and proxy advisory firms are up in arms against the company's recent move to extend $1.25 billion in loan to an unknown group company without making a fair disclosure, and have sought an investigation by stock market regulator, Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi).
In its post earnings call on Wednesday, the oil and gas explorer revealed it had extended loan to its parent Vedanta group company for a two-year period as a part of former's treasury operations. Cairn has already disbursed $800 million of this, while remaining $450 million were to be disbursed soon at an interest rate of Libor+300 basis points (around 3.3%).
Cairn India did not reveal the name of the company during an analyst call. However, when an analyst attending the concall persisted, the company mentioned that it was an unlisted, non-operational Sesa Sterlite group company based out of Mauritius.
The analyst told dna that Cairn subsequently told him "not to go much in detail as it did not concern him".
When contacted by dna, a Cairn India spokesperson said he was not aware of the name of beneficiary group company, while Vedanta Group spokesperson said it is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sesa Sterlite, without revealing the names.
On Thursday, Cairn India shares tanked 6.7% on local bourses as investors were apparently irked with they way the company chose to not disclose the transaction in a timely manner, and clubbed it with first quarter earnings.
Proxy firms InGovern and Stakeholders Empowerment Services called for an investigation by Sebi considering the manner in which the company delayed the disclosure by hiding the identity of the entity which has been provided loan.
Shriram Subramanian of InGovern said, "The company choosing to disclose the related party transaction at an earnings call shows disregard for fair disclosure, and merits a full-fledged investigation by Sebi.
Also disclosure has been made post-hoc, that is after the event."
He said that Sebi's revised clause 49 of the listing agreement with Stock Exchanges requires shareholders' approval for all material related party transactions with no exception for transactions in ordinary course of business or at arms-length.
"While this revised clause 49 would be applicable from October 1, 2014, in practice of good governance the company board should have insisted for shareholder approval for such a huge sum. It is clear that the company's independent directors have acted as 'yes man' in this case," he said.
The company in its defence during concall said it was an effective utilisation of cash reserves and that loan would yield higher returns as compared with current investment options. Subramanian stressed that returning surplus cash to investors through a dividend payout or buyback would have been a better utilisation.
J N Gupta, founder and managing director of Stakeholders Empowerment Services, also called for an investigation by Sebi considering the "dubious" manner in which the company has ignored to take shareholders' approval.
Most analysts raised concerned about history of similar transaction at Vedanta Group. "That is a big concern, investors reacted in this way because Vedanta has such a track record. The decision should have been disclosed much before extending the money to group company," Amit Tandon, founder and managing director of proxy advisory firm Institutional Investor Advisory Services India, said.
Investor community seems to have completely ignored the company's announcement of new discovery of 3 billion barrels of oil equivalent hydrocarbons, which would double its in-place reserves at Rajasthan block.
"We believe the concern of cash diversion would downplay the resource upgrade... An additional un-risked prospect inventory potential of 3 billion barrel of oil equivalent identified, to be drilled up in future exploration campaigns, beginning fiscal 2016. However, we have not considered this development in our valuation as the company has not given the recovery rate for the same," Dhaval Joshi, an analyst with Emkay Global Financial, said.

ETW Programs:
In 2007, Encouraging the World originated in the mind of its founder during a mountain hike in Cyprus. Since its conception, Encouraging the World (ETW) has worked in orphanages, juvenile homes, schools, and churches throughout the world.
ETW began in Bethlehem working with the Al-Harah Theater Group and Contacting the World. ETW choreographed and co-directed Facehook?!, currently touring the Middle East and Europe. This work aims to communicate the lives and struggles of Arab youth through music, dance, and drama.
ETW has launched several projects in the Philippines to serve orphan and juvenile communities, recruiting 50 volunteers from Thailand, Baltimore, Holland, and the Philippines.

I think the problem is not just that women are not recognized in the Church but that complementarity has been thrown out the door in the name of Marxist equality and sameness.
Sorry, I'm having another unfortunate brainiac arrest here, but is androgyny being only induced by Marxist ideology?
There seems like streams of hyper-masculinity and hyper-femininity, as well as, androgyny are mass marketed in the USA. It is a complicated issue. Complementarity, it seems to me, if not originating in the Trinity, is at the very least grounded in nature. Some might suggest that social engineering, contraception, erosion of family values, a hyper materialism that coerces more work less children, etc., anything that wars against Holy Matrimony and 'Telos' (the natural ends -- unitive and procreative) of marriage might be causal factors. This is opening a can of worms, but someone in a Muslim country might even suggest complementarity will be compromised until Burkas come in fashion.
It is not readily apparent to me that Marxism has a monopoly on any of these maladies.
Just wanted to let you know you are not talking to yourself!

State Spent $668M on Transportation Infrastructure in 2012
State officials say more than $668 million was spent on roads, bridges and other transportation infrastructure during 2012.
Department of Transportation and Development Secretary Sherri LeBas says the money went to 372 improvement projects on more than 1,000 miles of roadways and 71 bridges in Louisiana.
LeBas said the state has reduced the backlog of road and bridge needs by nearly $2 billion. The department is responsible for more than 16,000 miles of roadway.

The shootings are bloody reminders of the persistence of violence in the city, despite some recent progress.
Last week, law enforcement officials touted the indictment of 15 people in gang-related crimes, including the death of a 5-year-old girl killed by stray gunfire at a birthday party a year ago.
The city's 193 homicides in 2012 are seven fewer than the previous year, while the first three months of 2013 represented an even slower pace of killing.
On Monday night, 100 to 150 people gathered for a unity rally and peace vigil in the wake of Sunday's shootings. Some residents stood in their doorways or on their steps. At one point, trumpeter Kenneth Terry played, "O For a Closer Walk With Thee."
Robin Bevins, president of the ladies group of the Original Four Social Aid and Pleasure Club, said she and members of her organization came to the rally to show solidarity.
"This code of silence has to end," said Bevins, who's also a member of the city's Social Aid Task Force. "If we stand up and speak out, maybe this kind of thing will stop."
Amy Storper, who lives in a neighborhood near where the shooting happened, brought her 7-year-old son William to the rally.
"I felt the need to come out and show my support, to let people in this neighborhood know that people care," she said. "Perhaps if the whole city showed up, all 300,000, then maybe we can make a difference."
Mayor Mitch Landrieu walked into the area, greeting people, shaking hands and stopping to talk with some residents before addressing the crowd.
"We came back out here as a community to stand on what we call sacred ground," Landrieu said. "We came here to reclaim this spot. This shooting doesn't reflect who we are as a community or what we're about."
Leading efforts to lower the homicide rate is a police force that's faced its own internal problems and staffing issues. At about 1,200 members, the department is 300 short of its peak level.
Serpas, the chief since 2010, has been working to overcome the effects of decades of scandal and community mistrust arising from what the U.S. Justice Department says has been questionable use of force and biased policing. Landrieu and Serpas have instituted numerous reforms, but the city is at odds with the Justice Department over the cost and scope of more extensive changes.
Landrieu's administration initially agreed to a reform plan expected to cost tens of millions over the next several years. But Landrieu says he wants out now because Justice lawyers entered a separate agreement with Orleans Parish Sheriff Marlin Gusman over the violent and unsanitary New Orleans jail — funded by the city but operated by Gusman.
The site of the Sunday shooting — about 1.5 miles from the heart of the French Quarter — showcases other problems facing the city. Stubborn poverty and blight are evident in the area of middle-class and low-income homes. Like other areas hit hard by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the area has been slower to repopulate than wealthier areas. And Landrieu's stepped up efforts to demolish or renovate blighted properties — a pre-Katrina problem made worse by the storm — remain too slow for some.
Frank Jones, 71, whose house is a few doors down from the shooting site, said the house across from him has been abandoned since Katrina. Squatters and drug dealers sometimes take shelter there, he said.
A city code inspector, who declined to be interviewed, was there Monday
"It's too late," Jones said. "Should have fixed it from the very beginning. A lot of people are getting fed up with the system."
Associated Press reporters Kevin McGill, Michael Kunzelman and Stacey Plaisance contributed to this story.

Japan OKs restart of 1st reactors since tsunami
But while safety concerns still run deep, Saturday's decision could speed up efforts to get more plants running across the country.
Until now, the government had withheld approval to restart any nuclear reactors, and the last reactor went offline in May.
While pushing for the restart of reactors that have passed safety checks, Noda has pledged to gradually reduce Japan's reliance on nuclear power. Before the crisis, nuclear generated about one-third of Japan's electricity.
Japan is debating renewable energy targets of between 25 percent to 35 percent of total power generation by 2030, looking to Germany, which raised the proportion of renewables from 5 percent in 1990 to 20 percent by 2010.
But the sudden shutdown of nuclear plants has hit Japan's economy hard.
To offset the shortfall, utilities have ramped up oil- and gas-based generation, and that contributed to the country's biggest annual trade deficit ever last fiscal year. Noda and others argue that the higher cost of energy without nuclear will cost people their livelihoods and could cripple recovery efforts.

Two potential Newcastle targets should start at the Velodrome on Sunday and both will be free agents in the summer. United have apparently made contact with Andre Ayew while Marseille's top scorer Andre-Pierre Gignac netted in the last minute of last week's 6-1 defeat of Toulouse.
Both want to move to the Premier League and even if their ages make them slightly older than Newcastle's 21-27 blueprint, their free agent status would probably appeal. If they haven't already, Graham Carr's French contacts can expect a call sometime soon.

Cutler to go from RB to pro contract with BYU
RANCHO BERNARDO After the school year is over, Dallin Cutler will do what just about every high school soccer player would like to do one day. He will sign a professional contract.
But the Rancho Bernardo High senior midfielder also will go to college.
It's an unusual situation for Cutler, who will attend BYU, which does not field a college soccer team. The Cougars instead play in the United Soccer Leagues Premier Development League, a professional level one step below Major League Soccer.
That's right. Cutler will get paid. But he also will attend BYU, on his own dime.
"I was ready to commit to Northwestern," said Cutler, a 4.1 GPA student who also was recruited by Stanford, Yale, Princeton and USD, among others. "But then I got a call from BYU to attend their camp. I went up there and it just felt right."
Although Cutler is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he said he had no intention of going to BYU.
None of the other teams in the USL are affiliated with a church or a university. Instead, teams like BYU, the Ventura County Fusion and the Hollywood United Hitmen compete in the nine-team Southwest Division of the Western Conference of the 67-team league.
"He's been saying since the very beginning that that's what he wants to do," said RB and club teammate Connor Lachenbruch, one of three team captains along with Cutler and Jake Fenlason. "With his religion, I don't know how many schools that are comfortable taking on a player who's going to leave, so I think BYU is a perfect fit for him."
Yes, Cutler will leave on a Mormon mission after one year at BYU. It's an expected part of playing for the Cougars. When he comes back, school is important, as he wants to go to law school. But he wouldn't mind trying to play in Europe someday.
A 5-foot-9, 150-pound center midfielder, Cutler comes from a soccer-playing family. Parents Rob and Becky Cutler played soccer in high school. Younger brothers Ryan and Jadon are home-schooled and play club soccer.
Dallin, who has four goals and six assists for RB in their first nine games (7-1-1) says the best part of his game is that he's "the hardest worker on the field, no matter what."
RB coach Kurt Trecker says Cutler is selling himself short with that description.
"It's hard to name his best attribute because he has so many," said Trecker, in his fifth year as the varsity coach, seventh overall at RB. "He sees the game and feels the game as it's being played. He understands many different situations and what he needs to affect. He's got a very good soccer brain.
"He still gives me a tough time for not bringing him up to the varsity when he was a freshman, but that year we had Mike Denny (currently playing for Cal State Fullerton), who was the Palomar League Player of the Year. It's hard for a freshman to break in like that."

What Divides Nudists From Swingers?
What Divides Nudists From Swingers? There has always been a huge confusion between swingers and nudists. To break it down, a nudist is one who enjoys hanging around without clothes, whether in public or at their private residence. On the other hand, a swinger is one who basically has sex, but without demanding for money. The Difference Nudists are actually supported, by an organization, The American Association for Nude Recreation – AANR. This organization was developed in 1931 to give rights to the nudist recreation and information of such communitiesRead More
Reasons for Visiting a Swingers Club
I remember my first visit to a swingers club. It was like a rite of passage; a man growing facial hair or going through puberty. A swinger club is something every man and woman should experience at least once in their lifetime. For many people, the decision to join the lifestyle is a big one. In fact, there are many things about the lifestyle that you may need to consider. One of the most important considerations is the way in which you go about finding other swinger couples.

5 Real Reasons Why Couples Swing
Several people have asked Mike Hatcher, why people swing, so I decided to delve into this a bit further. Swinging isn't something that occurs to many couples out there and you may have asked yourself why any couple would want to swing in the first place. This is a common question and if you are considering becoming a swinging couple with your partner, you are probably looking for the answer to that very question. What is Swinging? Before we get into why a couple might choose to swing, you mayRead More
Swingers Of Yesterday
For the people that are not aware of what swinging was like many years ago, let me say it was pretty hard to connect with someone. For example, many years ago before the internet, swingers could only place ads in a swinger magazine or go to a swinger club. As with today, some couples did not want to go to a swinger club and wanted to be discreet, this was the purpose behind the swinger magazines. These magazines were found at adult bookstores and a couple would purchase one andRead More
Several readers have been asking me so many questions on swinger clubs so I will target a couple of questions submitted by my readers. Below are the Q & A on Swinger Clubs. Q: Mike, why are swinger clubs becoming so popular? A: The world is becoming smaller all the time thanks in part to technology. More people are becoming interested in the lifestyle, now that they see more people think and feel just like they do on the swinging subject. Clubs are popular becauseRead More

For a complete meal, serve shredded BBQ chicken on sandwich rolls with a side of Quick Slaw or a tossed green salad.
2 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 package McCormick® Slow Cookers BBQ Pulled Pork Seasoning
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
Place chicken in slow cooker.
Mix Seasoning Mix, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar and water until blended. Pour over chicken. Cover.
Cook 5 hours on LOW or 2 1/2 hours on HIGH. Remove chicken from slow cooker.
Shred chicken using 2 forks. Return chicken to slow cooker; mix and heat with sauce before serving. Serve on sandwich rolls, if desired.
Test Kitchen Tip: Substitute 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs for chicken breasts. Cook 4 hours on HIGH.
Slow Cooker Tip: For best results, do not remove cover during cooking.
(Amount per serving)
Very delicious! I changed the serving size to 4 as I only had 1 lb. of lean chicken breasts. Cooked on LOW for 3 1/2 hours and turned out PERFECT. Added about 1/4 cup extra water at the start as well. The amount of sauce/moisture was just right!
Was this helpful?
I don't really like pork so this recipe stood out and I can say I love love love it! Nom nom nom. I would recommend getting a more crunchier bun because even when you try to drain it it will get the bun soggy if it's a soft bun.
This receipe smells soo good when cooking it and delicious. I use boneless chicken fillets and Sweet Hawaiian Rolls. You have to try it, you want be disappointed.
Easy and delicious!
It was AWESOME!!!!
I have made this several times. It is so tender and delicious! And it feeds a lot of people. I serve with Hawaiian rolls.

im 17 and i never played a link to the past
or any zelda game for that matter. will i like this game?
If you don't know if you like a game that's sort-of similar to Darksiders, I don't think there's any way you can know if you'll like it or not. In my opinion it's a great game, but no way do you have to have played a Zelda game to enjoy it. They share elements, but it's not like you have to know one to enjoy the other ...
If you get into the game then you would prob enjoy it more than a person wo played Zelda. It would be more original to you. I say go for it.
I just got the game yesterday, played for about two hours, and as someone who does not like Zelda, I'd say it really doesn't matter if you've played that or not. In fact, so far it feels much closer to God Of War, but with more room to explore the areas. So I'd say if you've played any GOW game, you can more base your decision around that than on Zelda.
Agreed. The "find a weapon each dungeon" and find four parts to gain another life container stuff is like Zelda, but the gameplay is def more GoW. I just said that because most people who seem to have a problem with this game seem to base it on its similarities to Zelda...
It's more like God of War
The dungeon set-up as far as aquiring a specific weapon to beat the boss of each dungeon is very Zelda.
The combat is GoW.
The setting, voice acting and overall theme of the game remind me of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver... Or at least what LoK:SR should have been.

Overall Experience
Excellent hotel
May 20, 2015
The rooms are terrific and the outdoor amenities are more resort-like than hotel-like. They opened the pool early since it was hot, they have great seating areas outside, a fire pit, and two gas grills. Awesome all around.
May 14, 2015
My husband and I only got to spend one night in the room but it was a comfortable stay. I had a couch to nurse for my baby, a refridgeator to store in, and a roomy shower to relax in. My husband was able to watch his sports on the tv and relax as well. Finally the breakfast provided the next morning was the best I've ever had at a hotel stay. We certainly enjoyed our stay!
Comfortable stay, but showing its age.
May 14, 2015
My family and I have stayed at this location several times. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable. Beds and pillows were excellent. The complimentary breakfast was typical for this type of hotel. I mistakenly thought there was an oven in the kitchen, but the hotel staff offered to bake the frozen items that we'd purchased before checking in. When we first stayed at this location, it was fairly new. Now, the upholstery and wood finishes in the rooms are quite worn. The rolling chair in the two-bed portion of our suite had a torn seat and many animal scratches on the top. The window blackout liners in both rooms had holes and rips in them, and one even had a tear nearly a foot long. Despite this, the bathrooms, including the grout, were spotless. The hotel is in the middle of a great hub of activity, and is about 15 minutes from Longwood Gardens.
Regarding the value, although we stayed for three days with a Staybridge Weekends rate, the price increased dramatically each night, and I felt the total for three nights was unreasonably high.
Clean, spacious, convenient
May 08, 2015
Suite was clean, spacious, and quiet. There was a good selection of breakfast items. Staff were polite and friendly. The location of this hotel is very convenient - close to shopping and many area attractions like Longwood Gardens and Winterthur. There is also lots of shopping and dining opportunities within just several miles.


text: So I brought this game and I read somewhere that if you have all three games you can move the new classes around, like assassins in faction can be played in prophecies or a paragon in nightfall can be played in factions, is this true and if so, how does this work? I tried to create a new assassin toon to be played in prophecies but it wouldn't let me, do I need to do anything special to make this work or what I read not accurate? Please help.

SEVIERVILLE, Tenn. — The Railsplitters entered Tuesday's final round of the 2014 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Men's Golf Championship looking to rally from four shots back to defend its 2013 tournament crown, but a disappointing 35-over 323 dropped Lincoln Memorial to fourth in the final standings.
The Railsplitters carded rounds of 305, 306 and 323 to finish at 70-over par among the 12-team, 61-golfer field at the Sevierville Golf Club's River Course, a 7,054-yard, par-72.
Entrenched in far from favorable weather conditions with temperatures hovering in the mid-30s with gusting winds and snowy/rainy precipitation, the Railsplitters were unable to pick up any steam after a rough start. As a team, the Railsplitters went without a birdie on the front nine, recording four double bogeys or worse and 21 bogeys on that half of the course. The Railsplitters only finished with four total birdies in the final round, while only one player broke 80.
Carson-Newman weathered the storm for the SAC Championship title, clawing from four shots behind with a 314 on Tuesday to claim a one-shot victory over Wingate, who finished at 926 for the event. Four teams finished within 10 shots of the lead as Newberry was third at 931, Lincoln Memorial was fourth at 934 and Tusculum was fifth at 935.
Sophomore Connor Froning followed up his 2013 SAC Championship medalist performance by carding rounds of 75, 74 and 80 to finish with a 13-over par total of 229, earning a share of sixth place along with SAC Championship All-Tournament second team laurels. Froning struggled through Tuesday's opening nine with a 6-over 42, but he bounced back with a 2-over 38 on the way into the clubhouse.
Junior Braden Galyon, an All-SAC first team selection, was the only Railsplitter to break 80 in Tuesday's round, carding a 5-over 77 to earn a share of 12th place. Galyon was responsible for two of LMU's four birdies on Tuesday, sinking a four on the par-5 10th hole and the par-5 18th hole. Galyon rolled in a pair of 77s around a 79 on Monday.
All-SAC honorable mention pick Tre Mullins rounded out the SAC Championship in 20th place with two 77s followed by an 11-over 83 on Tuesday. Mullins' round was derailed, like Kurtis Campbell's, by a shaky start as he went bogey, bogey, double bogey, double bogey on the first four holes. Mullins was 21-over par for the event.
Campbell was 6-over par through the first five holes, capping the final round with a 15-over 87. Campbell fell to 25th in the individual standings with a 23-over total of 239.
Junior Rand Wasson — the SAC Player of the Year — recorded his third consecutive 11-over 83, rounding out a disappointing tournament in 47th place. Wasson did not card his first birdie of the tournament until Tuesday's 10th hole as the Norris, Tenn., native was 33-over par in the three-day event.
The Railsplitters, who were ranked 10th in the most recent NCAA Southeast Region poll, will await an at-large bid to the 2014 NCAA South/Southeast Super Regional, which begins on May 5 in Savannah, Ga.

Mariners drop 6th straight in 4-2 loss to Giants
Vogelsong struck out six and walked three. He left after giving up a pair of hits to Dustin Ackley and Olivo to start the eighth, snapping a streak of 11 straight batters retired. Reliever Javier Lopez was greeted by a single from pinch-hitter Casper Wells to load the bases. Suzuki's groundout got one run in and reliever Sergio Romo got a groundout from Gutierrez that plated another, but the damage ended there.
Santiago Casilla pitched the ninth for his 18th save in 19 chances. The last eight times Vogelsong has gone to the mound, the Giants have come away with victories
"I said to these guys last year I didn't want to be the weak link in the rotation," Vogelsong said. "I'm just trying to go out there and feed off of them."
Posey's homer in the second reached the second deck in left field above the Giants bullpen and was his eighth homer of the season. Cabrera's sixth homer of the season didn't have the majestic arc of Posey's, but cleared the fence in left-center field by about a foot as Franklin Gutierrez was unable to chase it down.
The Giants hammered Vargas (7-6) for 10 hits, the most hits he's allowed this season. He had allowed nine hits in his previous two starts and has lost his last two outings.
"The last eight starts home runs are what's killed it," Vargas said. "They are disappointing, especially the two-strike homer early in the game."
Notes: Giants' RHP Tim Lincecum, who grew up in the Seattle suburbs and was a star in college at Washington, will take the Safeco Field mound for the first time on Saturday night trying to stop a personal five-game losing streak. Lincecum has not won since April 28. ... Seattle dropped Ackley to seventh in the batting order for the first time this season. Wedge said he wanted to balance the top of his order and not be so left-handed hitting heavy. ... Giants' 1B Brandon Belt saw his consecutive games with a homer streak end at three.
