I have followed all your threads on this house, and While I love the work you have done, I cant help but think on some level it would have been more effective just to knock it down and start over. Dont get me wrong i love the way it is coming out now, but it seems like there has been issue after issue, and tons of hack job work that you have run into that I'm sure has drastically increased the cost of the renovations you have done.
That being said I am sure that you had no idea what you were getting into, as most people do not. Its almost impossible to find out all the stuff that is wrong before the walls are opened up, as you have obviously found out, lol.
One of the reasons I was so happy to get the place I did when I bought my "fixer-upper" is that it was almost all original with the exception of some plumbing, furnace, upgraded electrical line to panel, etc. Windows, floors, kitchen, baths, etc in general were untouched except for basic fixes.
Because of this I knew what I was getting into, and there wasnt tons of hackjobs that made renovations a nightmare.
I've had the same conversation. I took 9 30-yard dumpsters out of here, but it was worth it because I ended up with what I wanted. Had I built something from scratch we would still be in the planning stages, now nearly 20 years later. With an existing structure it gave me the parameters I could work within. Compromise became the word of the day instead of frustration.
I wouldnt agree with something like that if you really wanted to keep all the original character in the home, but it seems like much of that was removed anyway.
In my home for example I want to keep most the the original lath and plaster walls. They are in great shape, and I dont want to disturb the original woodwork. Now remove the plaster for a kitchen or bath redo? sure, but not all of them.
To each his own. Sometimes thing have to be done over time to fit financial constraints.
I also had a time constraint. I'd been unemployed for 14 1/2 months and had collapsed my life down to my vacation home at a ski resort. Once the lifts stop running in the spring, the sidewalks roll up. I didn't want to get stranded there for the summer and wanted to get back to salt water for May 1. I started house hunting in early October. I closed on my cottage in early December. I limited the scope of my first phase of remodeling to exclude anything on the exterior, bedrooms & bathroom. The scope was supposed to be move and open up walls in the kitchen, vault the kitchen & living room ceiling, hardwood floors in those sections, and install a new kitchen. I didn't anticipate that the first phase would include replacing forced hot air heat with forced hot water, complete do-over of domestic water and waste plumbing, or as much re-wiring as was done. I also didn't anticipate the amount of remedial carpentry that was needed on the 10x10 flat roof part of the cottage. I got in before Memorial Day rather than May 1 but the work got done. ...at 1.75x the original budget.
One side effect of this whole approach is that my property taxes are much lower than if I'd torn it down and built a new place. Even though I essentially have a brand new house, the town thinks I have an old shack. Repairs and remodeling the rooms one at a time hasn't changed the value of the structure very much even though the town appraiser has walked through a few times. My insurance company thinks my 992 square foot structure has a $225K replacement cost if it burned to the ground. The town thinks it's worth $90K. In a house I plan to retire in, that ends up being a lot of money that isn't taken from my retirement savings.
After new ridge board, rafters, and 3/4" plywood roof deck, the back roof is finally ready for shingles.
I got to witness the magic of a good carpenter cheating everything to look like it's perfectly square in a cottage that is anything but. It took 2 carpenters almost two days to get the fascia, soffit, bargeboard, and drip edge installed before finally getting the ice & water shield and tri-flex down.
What's that offset pipe?
That reminds me.... I keep meaning to sort out an audible/visual high water alarm/pump failure system for the tank. There should be a contact closure pair in that conduit but it's not hooked up to anything. The guy who installed the system retired years ago but I have the manual for the pump.
After what you've put into that house I sure wouldn't want it flooded with poop. If you need help, let us know. Have you considered a back-up system, JIC?
So this phase of 'new roof' is done. I still have 1/4 of the roof to do but that's waiting until my winter bedroom remodel project.
It still needs some trim paint, button vents installed in a soffit, and the gutters put back.
OK why the piece of downspout on the side of the house? It looks like it's housing some kind of wiring or piping.
...and the roofing project is done for the moment. The last quarter of the roof waits until the master bedroom ceiling is removed this winter to install new rafters.
The extra cost for materials.... 3/4" plywood is only a few dollars more per sheet than the planned 1/2". A bunch of 2x8 rafters. New fascia and soffit in the back.
The extra cost for labor.... I'm paying $35/hour x 2 for labor and it took 5 extra days so about $3K in labor and less than $1K for extra materials.
Like everything else, the cost was about double what I was planning.
One more remodeling phase to go this winter and I've run out of major projects for the cottage.
A structure is only as good as its roof. Yours looks fine.
Did you buy enough matching shingles to complete the job? I had that happen when they had been discontinued. Do you know what it costs to ship a bundle of shingles cross-country?
I still have about 15 feet of roof over the master bedroom that has 2x4 rafters that are framed maybe 24" OC. The roof hasn't collapsed in 60 years so I should be OK until it gets re-framed with 16" OC 2x8s this winter.
It appears that you've insulated better. That could cause more snow to pile up during the winter. Might be handy to have a snow broom.

The flat roof was re-framed from underneath 3 years ago. Most of it is 16" OC 2x12. I only have about 10 feet of iffy rafters over the master bedroom left.
This is the flat roof looking towards the living room. This side sun-bakes and snow doesn't last on the flat roof for very long.

text: Dears, When using oracle sqlplus client(OCI) to communicate with the server, the client NLS_LANG is used to control how the characters are converted when sending to or getting from database server. For varchar2 column: Insert data: if NLS_LANG != Server Charset, the chars will be converted into server charset by client and then sent to server. Select data: if if NLS_LANG != Server Charset, the chars form database will be converted into client charset(NLS_LANG) in client side. My question(sorry, i do not have a database to test it, I will after I set up an oracle server): 1) when using JDBC(thin), is it the same as above? Or NLS_LANG is ignored and client will convert the chars to server charset anyway and try to insert. when displaying chars from database , do nothing about charset convertion. right? 2) When using JDBC(OCI), the same as JDBC thin?

My daughter slept through the whole night for the first two nights after I bought this mattress (and she's only 5 month). Of course, after that she started to wake up once a night (like before), but I think she likes the new mattress because she sleeps longer hours and I can see how relaxed she is.
My dad bought this mattress when I became pregnant with my daughter, he did some intense research since he only wanted the best for his grandkids. We have had this mattress for 2 yrs now and it is excellent, it fits my daughter's crib and now her toddler bed, if there is a mess it is easily cleaned with soap and water and ready to go, no mildew (which can happen after repeat washings on some crib mattresses). Its just firm enough for a baby and comfortable enough for them to sleep on as well, it seems to breath fine because my daughter has rarely woken up sweating. I would reccomend this to anyone who needs a mattress for their baby. We are expecting our third in November and since my daughter is still using hers in her toddler bed, we are planning on purchasing another.
I've dealt with mattresses before with our son and his only lasted him 2 yrs and that was after several problems with his, so i wish we knew about this one before hand.
We bought this for our Grandson. Although he isn't here yet and therefore has not used it, we checked it out very well. It seems firm enough...not mushy or too hard. After reading reviews about torn seams, etc. we inspected it VERY thoroughly. Well, ..no problems at all. It came quicker than expected and was in perfect condition.
I am glad we gave more weight to the positive reviews than the negative ones...this was an excellent price and great quality. Oh...lastly...just in case the word "Grandson" gives you cause to wonder: We may be old, but we are not gullible. This is a quality mattress! You will be happy with it.
I purchased this mattress with having it last at least 5 years. Seems like it might just do that. nice size, perfect fit, nice structure.
We are thrilled to hear so many nice things about our Sealy Baby Posturepedic Crib Mattress!
i did TONS of mattress research before i bought this one for my oldest son... he is now two and the mattress is still in great shape! i flip and rotate it often and don't know if that helps but my son sleeps though the night and actually asks to be in his crib when he gets sleepy! i'm getting another for my newborn that soon to come. for the price, this is a great mattress and has help up perfectly.
Haven't used the mattress yet. Baby's arrival date is 2/27/2014. Was a little worried on the condition since all it iwas shipped in, was a plastic bag, which was ripped in quite a few places. But the mattress is in excellent condition. Great price, super fast shipping. I'm satisfied with the firmness. Fits perfectly in the crib I have. Just need a baby now!
Last year my mother got this mattress for my new born son. It was stiff enough for support and fit the crib snugly. But once we got in the new crib we though it was better for my older daughter's bed. Her mattress was cheaper was starting sag. But having the newborn we let him keep it. Now that my daughter's is really flimsy Grandma got this mattress again. This time for big sister. Great on durability and lasting those jumping sessions when mommy is unaware. :D
I was thrilled to finally receive this mattress, esp. after reading all the great reviews. When I got it home and unwrapped it, it seemed cheap. The binding had cotton sewed into it in places and there was even a 3 inch hole in the side (not a cut but where it was not stitched). Plus there werent any vent holes so when my daughter climbed on it it poofed up.
I hope that I just got a bum mattress and all the other reviews about how good it is are true!
My son is now 2 months old but I bought the mattress when he was one month. He appeasr to love this mattress because he lays contently awake or asleep in it. I have a bassinet play yard and the board is so hard and my bed's mattress is a pillow top ... when I transfer him from my bed to the play yard he wakes instantly but from my bed to the crib mattress is so easy and must be comforting because he don't budge. The mattress also fits very snug in his crib which is a plus. To me, it is firm yet comforting because I tried it out when it was delivered. I sat on it, laid down and it was comforting to me. Great buy. Great cost. And best of all, unlike my other purchases from Walmart.com, I bought this Saturday and it was delivered Monday. Nice!!
This mattress goes well with the Delta Canton Crib.
The baby likes it
Thank you for purchasing and taking the time to review the Sealy Baby Posturepedic Crib Mattress. We are so glad your baby likes it!
Purchased this mattress for my new granddaughter's crib. It is good and firm and fits the crib extremely well. Would definitely recommend.

It's a mattress and my grandson can't tell me how comfortable it is but he sleeps through the night and takes nice long naps on it so I'm guessing he likes it! It's a nice snug fit for the crib and standard crib sheets fit well.
I just bought this mattress to replace the divinci 6" mattress I got with my crib. The difference between the two in more than night and day - its huge.. This is a nice, firm, high quality mattress that should last my new baby through her toddler years.
Good mattress . Don't cheap out on your child's bed, they need back support too. Other one we bought has been going strong two years and now serves as a toddler bed mattress.
Our new baby, who this was bought for, isn't here yet, however when it arrived my other young children insisted on trying it out, and all gave a thumbs up! It fits prefect in our new crib and feels like it will be excellent for our new addition. All stitching and materials were in excellent condition, and I honestly think this is the best crib mattress I've ever bought when I compared it with the ones I tried out in the stores and the ones I have here at home! It arrived sooner than I expected and I'm very excited about it. I give it a thumbs up all around so far:)
I needed to purchase a new crib mattress for a replacement crib for our original crib that was recalled. I had to purchase the crib through the store I originally bought our first crib, but because their crib mattress inventory was sold-out and the ones they did have in-stock were so expensive I chose to shop at WalMart online. I am glad I did because I got a better mattress for less money and it fits our new crib perfectly! My son even sleeps better on his new mattress!
Loved this mattress. Found it on target web first, almost bought it, but im glad i checked walmart web. Its like $30 cheaper, plus free shipping to my local store. They said that it will be at the store in 3 weeks, but it came in in one week. Im very happy.
My husband and I researched so many mattresses, and finally decided on this one, and I'm glad we did! My daughter is 14 months old and she was sleeping on a 7 year old mattress, handed down to me from my sister. I guess if you think about it anything brand new would be better than what my poor daughter was sleeping on. Before we were having problems with her sleeping through the night, and even falling asleep in her crib was a problem; you could also hear her moving around restlessly. Now she only cries for a couple of minutes and goes to sleep (or at least doesn't make a sound), and after three nights is sleeping through the night. I know that in our situation the night waking was due to her mattress because we would try to let her cry and she would cry for a good 20-30 minutes before we gave up and put her in out bed. I'm convinced that her super old mattress was the culprit. This new mattress is very supportive but it doesn't seem too hard, it fits our crib perfectly and it's snug too. We had it delivered to our local Walmart for ease of return if need be, and it did have a small tear in the cover, but it wasn't worth the wait for us, we just went a head and used it.
I wanted to wait at least about a year to review it and I must say this mattress is excellent! great quality that I expected for the price.. I see they raised it to over 100$ when we paid 85$ for it...that would be the only downside for others who want to purchase this. I think its worth the price for the quality you get. its not flimsy and you dont feel springs in it like you do others too.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - December 18, 1980, New Braunfels, Texas Sid ft photo bv John Sen Im Hot air heaven General Portland, Inc. supervisors Fred Koester, Charlie Fink and Harold Ritterbush lift off from a field near GPI and glide across New Braunfels this morning in a hot air balloon as a gesture of appreciation by Midcap Bearing Corp., a supplier to the cement plant. The men floated ap proximately 200 feet above the city and ended their journey by sipping champagne in Cypress Bend Park. GPI supervisors get eye view of city By JOHN SENTER Staff photographer Early morning mist was just dissipating as a red, white and blue cloud floated lazily into the sky beginning a trek across sleepy-eyed New Braunfels. Riding in a small gondola below the hot-air balloon were three General Portland, Inc. supervisors: Fred Koester, Charlie Fink and Harold Ritterbush. The three were approached by Midcap Bearing Corp., a supplier to GPI, with the opportunity to drift over New Braunfels Thursday morning. Donning their crash helmets, the men were escorted across the blue skies by pilot Marty Pearlman after the ground crew filled the polyester sphere with air. After heating the air inside the balloon with propane- fed flames to 220 degrees, the balloon lethargically floated over the city causing local residents to croon their heads skyward, squint their eyes and point at the multi-colored balloon in disbelief. Cypress Bend Park's open grassy field invited the balloon to descend back to earth. Glued-on smiles were seen on the men's faces as they ambled out of the balloon, followed by Fink's remark, "It was a completely different kind of feeling; it was like floating along on the river, but you are on a bed of air." Koester grinned and said, "It was quite a thrill," while Ritterbush said, "That's fantastic." Champagne corks popped around the gondola as the participants followed the 200 year old tradition of drinking the bubbly liquid to celebrate a perfect landing.

O, Box 451+36 —. . __ _ _ callas, Tex ai 75235 Vol. 89 - No. 126Thursday ■■ ^ mi , / * Taylor Communications Inc25 cents December 18,1980 Harald-Zeitung (USPS 377-880) New Braunfels, Texas Chrysler adopts plan NEW YORK i AP) — Directors of Chrysler Corp., which expects to lose $200 million in the final three months of this year, today approved a survival plan for the automaker that includes wage freezes and an additional $400 million in federally guaranteed loans. Chrysler Chairman lA»e A. lacocca told reporters following the board meeting in New York that the plan was approved unanimously by the directors. Only Douglas Fraser, president of the United Auto Workers union, failed to attend the meeting. Chrysler Vice President Wendell Ixirsen told reporters the application to the Chrysler Loan Guarantee Board would not be made today, as spokesmen had said earlier, but could occur within a few days. He said the board had not asked for the application, and Chrysler was awaiting that request. Ixirsen said Chrysler expects to lose about $200 million in the final quarter of HIHO, a loss that would boost its 1980 deficit to $1.7 billion, more than any American corporation has ever lost in a year. At a news conference in Highland Park, Mich., on Wednesday, lacocca said the No. 3 automaker probably can stay afloat through January, but "has no future" after that unless it gets the $400 million in government-guaranteed loans. Chrysler is confident of conditional approval for the guarantees, lacocca said. "I would hope to get a signal to say that this plan looks terrific and ifs viable; let's get on with it," he said. The automaker already has received $800 million in loan guarantees out of the $1.5 billion Congress first authorized last year when the loan guarantee board was created. Each time Chrysler wants more loan guarantees, it must get approval from the board. To get that approval for the $400 million, Chrysler has undertaken a far-ranging, money-saving survival program. As part of that plan, Chrysler is asking the United Auto Workers to agree to a 22-month wage freeze that would hold the hourly wage at $17.50 through September 1982. The wage otherwise would rise to $22.11 an hour. All the company can offer workers in exchange for that concession is "their jobs," lacocca said. Store robbed second time; two hunted New Braunfels police are searching for two Latin males believed to be involved in the armed robbery of a convenience store Wednesday night. An undetermined amount of cash was stolen from Sac-N-Pac, 513 Highway 81 West, at approximately 10:15 p.m. police said. The store has been robbed twice within the last five months. Police said a I,atin male of slim build wearing a black ski mask with yellow stripes, faded blue jeans jacket and pants and armed with a rifle was involved in the robbery. He was accompanied by short Latin male of medium build wearing a blue ski mask and blue jeans, police said. Both males are believed to be teen-agers, police said. Police said the men entered the store, threatened the cashier with the rifle and told the cashier to go into the cooler. The men then took money from the cash register and left the store. Passersby told police they saw two men of the same description running towards Magazine Avenue, police reported. Detective Mario Guerrero said the suspects are believed to have been involved in an armed robbery at Bud's Fins Service Station, 2250 State Highway 2, Monday at 7 p.m. Police said two Latin males of the same description approached the station manager outside the station and demanded he give them money from the cash register. One of the suspects threatened the manager with a revolver, police said. When the manager refused to get money from the register, the suspects demanded forced the manager to give them money from his pockets, police said. The suspects then ran from the scene. No one was injured in either incident, Guerrero said. Guerrero said that police are keeping a special lookout for the two suspects. If any person sees the suspects they should contact Guerrero or Criminal Investigation Division head Felix Roque at 625-7181. Faust, Nolte receive foundation recognition Utilities action Two outgoing directors of the New Braunfels Industrial Foundation received letters of appreciation at the corporation's board meeting at Krause's Cafe Thursday. President Merritt Schumann thanked Joseph Faust, a charter member, and Ed Nolte for their service on the board and presented framed copies of his letter. "Without your advice, counsel, and active leadership, we would not have come as far as we have," the letters read. "People who have been involved in industrial development through the years are well aware of your willing support and effective leadership." Faust and Nolte were replaced on the board by Robert Orr and Maurice Fischer, elected by the membership in September to three-year terms. Orr was also elected secretary-treasurer. The purpose of the foundation, Faust explained, was to "attract new industries and keep the old ones happy." In a business meeting following the presentation, the board reviewed plans for development of an industrial park. A possible site along IH-35 and FM 482 within the current city limits was discussed. "It's the only one at this point we have really explored," Schumann said in an interview after the meeting. "The general feeling is, we don't want industry spread all over the community. We'd like to find a site with access to the highway, to utilities." The proposal is still in the talking stages, he said, and a committee to study possible sites will be appointed within the next few days. The Industrial Foundation has bought and sold land before to introduce new industries into the area, but has been careful not to make a profit, sometimes selling the property to incoming companies at the "exact price" it was acquired for. An industrial park would be somewhat different, Schumann said. "We'd probably have to borrow money, and sell the land for more than we paid to redeem our costs," he said. Merritt Schumann, center, president of the Industrial Foundation, presents letters of appreciation to Joseph Faust, left, a charter member of the group, and Ed Nolte for their work. The two men are outgoing members of the foundation's board of directors. Change in rate up for decision New Braunfels Utilities trustees were to decide today whether to recommend changing a rate increase provision in the new electrical ordinance now before the City Council. The trustees meeting was scheduled for 4:30 p.m. in the Utilities board room. The choice between two methods of passing on rate increases has caused the council to postpone a final reading of the ordinance until it meets Jan. 12. A workshop session was held Monday to explain the proposed change to council members, even though the board itself has not yet voted to recommend it. The i/ower Colorado River Authority has requested a rate increase of 8.18 percent, but the earliest it can take effect is April 1981, subject to the approval of the Public Utilities Commission, In order for Utilities to deal with any size increase, a cost adjustment paragraph will be included in the ordinance. Instead of averaging the cost of the increase per kilowatt hour and applying it to a customer's bill based on kwh consumption, Utilities Manager Bob Sohn recoiimiends another approach : increase each energy bill by the same percentage as the total rate hike. In other words, if the commission approves the LURA request for an 8.18 percent increase, each customer would be assessed an extra 8.18 percent. This method works to the advantage cf some users, especially those industries that have a high "power factor" or use energy more efficiently. Staff photo Outgoing directors ;

Walter Brown has been growing tomatoes for H.J. Heinz Co. for 47 years. Now he's looking for another crop and wondering what to do with a barn full of planters, harvesters and trailers that are useless for anything but tomatoes.
Heinz said last week that it will close the century-old plant in Leamington, Ont., in mid-2014 along with two others in the U.S. as it shifts production of ketchup, baby food and sauces to other factories. The move will put 740 Heinz employees and about 200 seasonal labourers out of work. The farmers who were under contract to supply Heinz with tomatoes are left trying to find a new crop to plant in the spring, and some way to replace the business that has kept their farms busy and profitable for generations.
"I'm going to be left with a barn full of tomato equipment that I have no idea what I'm going to do with. There's going to be millions of dollars' worth of machinery that will just sit and rust" at farms in the region, said Mr. Brown, who says he has about $500,000 worth of specialized machinery. Instead of tomatoes, he will plant grains or seed corn, crops that are easier to grow but less profitable.
Heinz opened the plant in Southern Ontario more than a century ago, drawn to the Leamington area for its long growing season, sandy soil and light rains that provide the rare conditions needed to grow field tomatoes. The town became known as Canada's Tomato Capital for good reason – Heinz has contracts with more than 40 area farms to buy 40 per cent of Ontario's 500,000-tonne tomato crop.
"Heinz and Leamington are one and the same," said Herb Enns, a retired farmer who grew tomatoes for Heinz for 35 years.
Farmers say other large buyers of tomatoes in the region – including Sun-Brite Foods Inc. and ConAgra Foods, which makes Hunt's tomato sauce and Chef Boyardee – are not keen to take on new growers, preferring to give any new business to their current contractors.
Jean-Marie Laprise says he is one of the lucky ones.
Just 10 per cent of his greenhouse output is the young tomato plants bought by local Heinz growers; and the rest includes lettuce, broccoli and other vegetables that that will end up in supermarkets. But he said there are few ways to replace the tomato plant business in an industry in which prices have fallen by 30 per cent over the past three decades as farm yields have soared.
"Our tomato acreage is a very small percentage of our business but it's a significant percentage of our labour requirements and gross income because it's a high-value crop," said Mr. Laprise, who has grown tomatoes for Heinz for 40 years and supplied greenhouse transplants for 23 years.
"We are going to take our financial blows and move on to other things," he said. "There is life after tomatoes. Unfortunately, we're going to have to take a financial hit on assets and look to refocus to see how we replace the income, or just do without it."
Mr. Laprise said he received word of the Heinz plant shutdown last week in an e-mail from Heinz that was followed by a letter couriered to his farm near Chatham, Ont., shortly after spreading fertilizer on his field for next year's crop. Like most growers for Heinz, the work for next year's crop is well under way: Growing beds have been shaped and strips of barley planted to keep the loose soil from blowing away while the new tomato plants grow.
Farmers say they want compensation from Heinz for the cancellation of their contracts and the work they already put into next year's crop.
Heinz spokesman Michael Mullen in an e-mail on Wednesday would not comment, other than to say Heinz will continue to invest in the plant in St. Marys, Ont., that will pick up some of the Leamington production for Canada.
For Mr. Enns and other long-time farmers in the area, it's not the first time a large food processor has pulled up stakes and left them to find new crops and new buyers.
Snap beans, sweet corn, tomatoes and pickles – Mr. Enns has grown them all for large canners and processors over the years, only to watch them quit the area. He said farmers will find a way to adjust, even though it might not be easy.
"They'll take it on the chin and they'll try to grow another crop," Mr. Enns said.Report Typo/Error

What Does Necrotic Fat Tissue Look Like Following a Breast Reduction?
Doctor Answers 2
Concern after breast surgery
You need to see your surgeon who can examine your breast and tell you what is happening. Without more information it is impossible to tell you anything useful.

The landlord does not accept the following in this place:
Thinking of going to study to Lisbon? Check out this awesome apartment in Carnaxide! This is a peaceful and quiet area, away from the city centre but still very well-connected to it, by transport links. Nearby, you'll find a myriad of different cafés and restaurants where you can try some delicious meals!
This grand property has two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. The available bedroom is very comfortable and bright. The kitchen comes with all the appliances you may need to prepare your meals, and features a nice dining area where you can enjoy them. The living room is quite snug and pleasant, and has a full-length window leading to a nice balcony. The whole flat features a sober, modern and stylish decoration that you'll love, so make sure you don't miss out on this opportunity!
Find out more about this property's common areas in our photo gallery.
You will be sharing this property with the landlord.
He is under 30 years old.
Looks like no one had the time to review this place yet!
These conditions were defined by the Provider and are subject to change.
We have verified this property. We are still working on having the Landlord's contacts and documents fully verified.
Getting Around
Path to university
At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

So the Visual Studio Indigo Tools team met today to discuss the UI for the Add Service Reference dialog. This dialog is where you will add references to WFC services as well as standard, ASMX web services.
A key question we all had was if we should drop the Internet Explorer control in favor of a cleaner UI experience. On one hand you lose the 'navigation' to your WSDL or Disco file, but on the other hand it seems kind of clunky.
So I ask you, faithful blog readers – Do you use Web References? And if so, what is your take on the IE control in the Web Reference dialog? Is it a 'must keep' or is it something you can live without?

Actually, it doesn't. I've had lunch on a porn film set in California, and even their X-rated stars are self-denying. What the prelude to an orgy really looks like is carrot sticks, wheat-free bagels and low-fat spread. "Low-fat spread", in fact, describes the American porn industry in a nutshell. Female porn stars make Calista Flockhart look like Roseanne: if you're size 12 or over, you have to work in "fat fetishist" movies.
Which is very cruel, given that the average American woman has a body like a houseboat. Rake-thin LA beauty obsessives are a very specific breed; there are also a few pinch-lipped, twig-thighed Manhattan socialites. But out in the Midwest, men are salivating over the coat-hanger bodies of Tiffany Mynx and Ebony Smiles in "Hot Go-Go Sluts Do Missouri" because their size-30 wives can't get up from the sofa and switch off the video. In regular Hollywood, of course, the stars are even thinner.
Yesterday's report from Marks and Spencer told us that the average British woman is now 5ft 4ins and 9st 6lbs; the average American woman is the same height and a stone heavier. The US National Institute of Health says that 55 per cent of their adults - around 97 million people - are "overweight or obese". The whole world is getting chubbier, but we're all still in the shadow of America's great backside.
And yet, the land of giant people must import their healthy-sized sex symbols from Britain. Flesh on a US screen is fine - as long as it's obviously foreign. So, we give
them Kate Winslet and they love her busty bloom, as long as they can stress that she is "an English rose". We give them gorgeous, curvy Nigella ("ripe" and "full" says the New York Times), sticking her fingers in a treacle pudding, and they'll love her too - but only after shouting "It's porn! It's an orgy!" as though they've never seen anything like it at home.
Their own Renee Zellweger was, of course, allowed to play Bridget Jones at a "normal" weight - but only after the whole world had been told that Renee had gone on a special diet to look like a Brit, and the pounds had come off at the end of filming. Back to "American shape". Very ironic.
All this 'arsing about' is such a fagIain Duncan Smith tells Radio 2 listeners he doesn't like the name Tory because it's "old-fashioned". But, of course, they can't alter it because Conservatives have spent the past 20 years arguing that any kind of language change is "political correctness gone mad".
For the entire 1980s, Tories claimed that loony Left councils were refusing to use words like "blacklist" or "chairman". Phrases like "persons of restricted growth" caused hilarity on the Right for the whole of the 1990s. "I suppose my cleaning lady is a 'woman of ethnic origin who works as a duster and Pledge executive!'" they chortled for the best part of a decade. Ooh, it was the funniest thing since Jim Davidson told black comedy viewers: "I can barely see you there in the dark!"
In fact, there does come a point when a name has so many negative connotations you might as well cut your losses and ditch it. Take "hunting", which began again yesterday for the first time since foot and mouth nixed it in February.
It was a different world in February: foxhunting seemed, to urban sophisticates like us, a genuinely evil way to carry on. But we're at war now, more worried about the vulnerability of our tall buildings than the state of the countryside. So, supposing, instead of the seriously macho title of "hunting", practitioners referred to it as "arsing about in silly costumes". We simply wouldn't care at all. "Hunters" chasing poor little foxes sounds terribly sinister, but the sting would be removed entirely if the newsreader said: "Camilla Parker Bowles joined Prince Charles this afternoon to arse about in silly costumes". Or, "Silly costumes were donned today, as the arsing-about season began again."
Here in London, we'd just snort derisively and leave them to get on with it.
The Department of Education and Skills revealed this week that although one billion cards are sent at Christmas, "68 per cent bear little more than a name and greeting inside". How does it know? If every Christmas card we send has to be opened and read by the Government to check our literacy skills, no wonder the post is so bloody slow.
Three million people, apparently, are so embarrassed by their poor literacy that they prefer to leave cards totally blank inside. But are the messages in Christmas cards really worth writing anyway? We all know what they mean. "How are you all?" ("I can't remember the names of your family"). "Thinking of you" ("Just saw your name in my address book and groaned"). "Hope to see you in 2002!" ("Hope never to see you again!"). "It's been a pretty good year" (My life is an empty, monotonous shell). Those five per cent of Britons who leave their cards blank may not be illiterate at all - just more honest than the rest of us.

Reviews For Organic Raw Indonesian Cashews
Based on 31 Reviews
Each bag is a treasure. You get big, sweet, creamy cashews, and times you get small crisp and densely flavored ones; all to be delighted in! These are so good straight out of the bag, to make raw cheeses and sauces with, mylk, and crushed on oats or salads! DELISH!
- Andrea
The Connoisseur's favorite Cashews
Hands down the best tasty, creamy, crunchy & delicious nuts I have ever had. Freshest cashews for milks, creams, cheeses & just plain munching!
- Rom
very bland and tasteless
I bought these cashews (3 bags unfortunately) and they were very bland and had absolutely no taste. I thought once I soaked and dried they would be better tasting, but unfortunately not the case. Don't waste your money on these. The thrive brand of cashews was much better
- Laurie
Truly Creamy Cashews
Finding gluten free cashews had been a bit of a nightmare locally, so I was so happy to find these on Thrive Market. I was able to make Cashew Chicken for the first time since being diagnosed with Celiac Disease, and these cashews tasted amazing in it. They truly are creamy and delicious.
- Nova
I love these cashews! Worth every penny!
- Lori
Amazingly good
Great price (same brand at the store was 8.99 for a 7 oz bag). Delicious and creamy in texture. I just ordered another bag.
A winner!
I thoroughly enjoy these cashews. They ARE buttery. I eat them by the handful for a quick snack. Very tasty and as described. :)
- Klare
So yummy!
These are big, soft, creamy and amazingly addictive. Lovely for making cashew butter or just eating straight out of the bag!
- Michelle
Great Nuts
They really are smooth and creamy!
- Thea
Excellent quality!
These cashews are very high quality. Perfect for raw, vegan recipes.
- cynfun72
Great for making cashew butter
I have used several different types of cashews to make cashew butter, and these always go the fastest... I think it's because they're super-fresh (cashews that I've opened and used a few days later take longer to break down into butter). LOVE these! And the price is right, too!
- Denise
healthy and good value
These are really tasty cashews and a great price for organic! They'are good raw but I also put them in a low oven for a few minutes to give them a little crunch. I keep these on hand all the time.
- Kathie
Great price and the very best tasting and good for you cashews. Price is always better, great from Thrive

I am very happy with these raw, organic cashews. My daughter prefers the taste of these to the roasted ones, and I like baking with them (non-dairy cheesecake).

Best Cashew Milk
I don't typically like cashews but my son loves cashew milk. I was able to makebthe creamiest most delicious cashew milk ever ! Lol the pulp makes an awesome vegan ricotta!
- Shaniqua
My family & I love these - I roast the cashews by misting them with olive oil, sprinkling sea salt and bake at 350 degrees for 5-8 minutes (keep an eye on them, they can burn fast!), store in a mason jar and they're good for a week or two...but they won't last that long!
- Elizabeth
DELICIOUS cashews
These are amazing!! The only brand of raw organic cashews I will ever buy again. They are everything they are advertised to be.
- Shirley
Smooth, creamy texture.
These are delicious. Mild flavor, smooth texture. Best raw cashews I've tasted.
- Emily
Best. Cashews. Ever.
These are the best cashews I have ever had. Smooth, sweet, subtle flavors. None of the off, rancid or dusty taste of other brands. The only brand I will buy now!
- Mara
They're pretty good, I'd definitely buy again!
These are so good, excellent quality and taste!! I roast them on my own and they're better than any cashew I've tried!
- ElizaB
The Best!
I have tried several brands of cashews over the years- from local health food stores to different places online. These are the best I have had, and at a great price. They are incredibly fresh, the freshest I have tried. They are also large and so creamy and sweet. I snack on them on their own and also make nut butter with them, usually blended with walnuts, pecans, and macadamias. It is irresistible!! I will stick to this brand at Thrive for sure!
- Ebie
So fresh!
I have used several different brands of cashews to make cashew butter at home, and I've noticed that the fresher they are, the faster they become cashew butter - less work, less electricity to run the VitaMix, less frustration for me. These cashews are the freshest I've found & make a beautiful creamy cashew butter - without having to add even a drop of coconut oil to speed up the process like I do with some other brands! I will be buying these again for sure!
- Denise
Taste good. Like the natural, organic taste.
- Dana
Creamy and delicious to snack on!
- Carmen
Just ordered several more bags...truly seem better than any I've had.
- kanta
These cashews are divine in taste and texture! These will be a definite staple in my pantry!
- Debra
Great product!
Great tasting raw cashews with no salt added. Great for creamy vegan sauces. I made a vegan alfredo sauce with these cashews as the base. It was so good!

European Trail
Choose a date
Please, select a date to continue
23-days of heart pounding adventure kick off today. Meet up with your Contiki posse & share notes on London town before hitting the road to Amsterdam.
Shortly before we find our ferry for France, we'll be taking in the English coastline beauty of the White Cliffs of Dover. They owe their gorgeousness to their composition of chalk - you're learning and we haven't even left the UK!
Off the ferry we arrive in the port town of Calais - French soil! We travel north via Belgium before reaching ... Amsterdam!
Tonight, the famed for fun Amsterdam is ours to explore following an optional evening canal cruise. An undisguised Red Light District & plenty of bars are there for the curious.
You know the cheese, and now you're going to know the place that pioneered it. This morning we'll head into the beautiful countryside for a taste of tradition, as we visit a local clog and cheese makers house.
Out of Amsterdam, onto the autobahn and on the fast-track to uber-cool Berlin. That's on today's agenda.
On the world map of cool party vibes, Berlin has a gold star. We've got two nights to explore every inch of this amazing city, and we'll kick it off with a bit of history into the city and its troubled and interesting past. Once we arrive your Trip Manager can point you in the right direction to go and see the sights.
Get into the mood of exploration. Berlin has so much to offer the hungry traveller, from the obvious icons like Checkpoint Charlie to all the obscurities tucked away in the side streets. Spend the day lapping up history, scouting the Berlin Wall and dialing up your intellect at sites like the Russian War Memorial, Brandenburg Gate & historic Reichstag building. That way you can let loose a little in the evening without a hint of remorse.
"More city hangs" you'll all scream in unison as we motor out of Berlin, high on life & still wanting more. Since you asked so nicely, let us present you with Prague, the darling of Europe.
A drive from Berlin to Prague would not be complete without stopping in Dresden. Destroyed by World War II, the rebuilt town is now a symbol of resilience, soaked in the rebirthed beauty of an Opera house, the domed Frauenkirche, & the Royal Residence.
On arrival in the compact & lovable city of Prague, we'll get out and go exploring, seeing castles and cathedrals and learning of Bohemia Kings and gothic history. The night is yours to amble around the Old Town Square and find a few haunts to let the hours slip away in.
Today we exchange the Czech Republic for Austria, waving goodbye to pretty Prague knowing that cultured Vienna is coming right up.
Before Vienna we'll be stopping in the Bohemian city of Kutna Hora, remembering that Bohemia is the name of the place and not a nod to the fashion sense of the people that live there. Make the local Sedlec Ossuary chapel a high priority, it's decked out and furnished in the bones of over 40,000 ... humans. Eeep!
Austria, we have arrived! And we're ready to get straight into your musical legacy. Put your name next to the optional Mozart and Strauss concert in one of the city's imperial palaces, you will not regret it.
A whole day lies ahead to uncover the ethereal Austrian capital. Our Trip Manager will uncover the historical heritage of Schönbrunn Palace, the State Opera House and the gothic St. Stephen's Cathedral. And once you've seen all that, you'll have a bit of free time to check out art galleries and local coffee houses, maybe even try a slice of the famous Sacher Torte.
Rise up travellers and start practicing your Polish pleasantries, we'll be in Krakow later today so they may come in handy.
Today once we cross the border into Poland, why not choose our fantastic optional to the famous Wieliczka salt mines, where you'll head underground into a labyrinth of tunnels and learn about the oldest mine in the world - salty!
Then afterwards its onto the city of Krakow, which is now known for its silver mining heritage and tales of mythical dragons. Relax tonight as we have all day tomorrow to explore.
Today we will change pace once we cross the border, as we drop to an unfamiliar and sobering level by visiting the concentration camp memorials of Auschwitz & Birkenau. Learning and growing is what us travellers do.
A Jewish Quarter, a jaw-dropping castle & museums aplenty are just some of the relics found in the relatively untouched Krakow. The UNESCO World Heritage-listed centre should occupy your free time, but conserve some energy for the option to get involved with a traditional Polish Pierogi evening.
Alpine scenery and traditional villages will make our departure from Krakow more manageable. Particularly with the knowledge that we have Budapest coming up in the eve.
Pastel painted and manicured to perfection, Banska Bystrica is a lunch break that will charm you to no end. Being in Slovakia, it's also your chance to brag 3 countries in one day - you crazy globetrotter you.
Welcome to Hungary! Coming in at number 3 on our list of countries ticked off through the day. From the moment we arrive in the river split city, you'll understand why we needed a couple of nights here. Waste no time getting involved with Budapest by joining the optional river cruise and dinner.
The day is yours to tackle Budapest however you see fit. After all the travelling we've done, you've probably earned yourself an afternoon soaking in the cities famous outdoor thermal pools set amongst Art Nouveau architecture. Blissed out in Budapest - there's an insta caption for you. If gardens, fountains, pools and ruins are the call of your day, put St Margaret Island top and centre of your to do list.
This morning we say goodbye to the city of Budapest and head south to Slovenia! Though the name Ljubljana might not be as well known as Budapest, that doesn't diminish its delight as a European city. In fact, its undiscovered charm is all part of the fascination...
Aesthetically wonderful and filled with youthful moods, Ljubljana is one to love for its off the tourist trail vibes and casual attitude. Without a list of monuments to tick off, you're free to get cozy in a cafe and lap up the endless local feels.
Farewell floating city, but Italy, we're not done with you yet, our next destination the Eternal City is just around the corner.
The afternoon will really take it up a notch as we uncover Italian icons in the country's capital of Rome as you get a glimpse of it's glory by night. Gelato, pizza and ancient monuments - perfecto!
We may be hitting the road again, but we're not done with Rome just yet. Make the most of it this morning with our Local Guide's optional tour of the Vatican Museums, including the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. Then afterwards, we hit the road as we have one more city in Italy to lust over…
For those of you not familiar with the whole Florence deal, we have two words for you: it's heaven. Potter along the River Arno, be totally Tuscan with a drop of Chianti wine, and take in the beauty of the city and its protruding Duomo Cathedral.
Today is a perfect balance of guided wisdom and free time to roam. We'll uncover the beautiful art of traditional leather & explore streets bursting with heritage. Take to the local markets, down some gelato & tonight you can choose to end your Tuscan love affair at an optional dinner - think olives, cured meats, crostini & wine.
Say a fond farewell to Italy, and hello to the land of creamy chocolate, cheese and not to mention watches. Hello Switzerland!
As if we were going to leg it from Florence to Switzerland without a sneaky side trip to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Depriving you of the chance to perfect the holding-up-the-tower shot would be down right criminal.
Swans float under wooden bridges, snowcapped mountains stand regally behind us & chocolate tastes like heaven on earth. You're in the Swiss Alps & you cannot wipe the smile off your face. Eeek!!!
When it's cold at home you just want to curl up in bed. But when it's cold in Europe, you just want to bounce out with endless vigor and explore those Swiss mountain chills. Start the day by opting to head up one of the famous mountain's of the region, for some of the greatest views in Europe, maybe even spotting some traditional horn players if the day is right. Back in town later, there's no shortage of things to do. Cross the Wooden Chapel Bridge, dating back to 1333 and the oldest covered bridge in Europe. Hungry? Opt for a deliciously creamy cheese fondue lunch to keep hunger pangs at bay before seeing more of the city, tempting yourself with chocolate, or treat yourself to a watch along the way, another famous Swiss export. Dream day!
Out with the altitude, in with the inner-city Parisian bliss. Once we've crossed the border out of Switzerland we will be coasting through the pretty wine producing region of Burgundy before our arrival in Paris.
Lamp-lit bridges, a sparkling Eiffel Tower, & evening coffee haunts, tonight we fall in love with everything Paris. Our Trip Manager fills us in on the city's secrets, then to celebrate our first night in the city, we'll pop the champagne & experiment with escargot.
Moan over haute couture you can't afford, admire the Notre Dame Cathedral whilst juggling coffee and crêpes, & get artsy at the many museums of the Louvre. Smitten yet?
Soak up your last dose of Paris and feel the astonishment of how much you've seen on this trip. And how damn close you've grown to your loved-up Contiki collective.
What a journey, if you've chosen to end your trip on arrival in London say a fond farewell to the remainder of your group as you wrap up the journey on arrival.

New store hours are now effective for The Willow's Nest. The shop is open Monday through Saturday, 10 AM to 5 PM. What is equally as great is the addition of a book store inside The Willow's Nest! A local book store has moved inside. The Willow's Nest is located in a vintage cottage type house on the main street in Chapel Hill. Every room of the house is packed with great merchandise. And now, one entire room is dedicated to books, used and new. In fact, I need to take pictures of the entire place next time I'm there. There is also lots of great Christmas merchandise beautifully displayed and for sale by the owner of the shop. The phone number for the Willow's Nest is 931-364-4104.
This is the reindeer moss wreath I've been working on.

2 weeks ago would have rated 5 stars but after update I can't edit and save anything. Says not enough storage to save. Have plenty of storage on phone and sd card. Need help just want to stay with older version it worked great!!! Very frustrated.
For Samsung G S 3 The latest update messed it up on my phone. I was using it for work out in the field. It did work great,but since I don't have the latest phone the newest update won't let me save my work.
Won't save or update I don't edit documents on my phone that often but I do sometimes. I found out today that it won't update or save anything. It just says "Write Failed". It used to work fine. Looking at the reviews I see that a lot of people have had the same problem since the last update, which was about 1 year ago! Why is there no fix yet? I have a Samsung Galaxy S3. Especially low rating for extremely poor customer service in correcting errors. What good is an Office editor that can't save any documents?
Galaxy s3 Older version worked great. This version won't over right existing files or allow saving changes. Not enough storage message when memory card has at least 20 gigs free ? As a workaround you can move your files to internal storage for editing . Would give 5 stars if I could work with files from sd card.
One of the best mobile Office Suites Polaris Office is simply amazing! I was wondering when this version would be updated to the new one on the market. Please say it will be soon :-)
I could use this one to open a rtf file, but I had to skip a log in step that will hassle me again in a few days.

The 37-year-old was left feeling sick and with temporarily blurred vision after the attack as the pair got off the South West Trains service at Clapham Junction. He had asked them to pay a £5 upgrade, but they refused and argued.
One of the youths allegedly sprayed a liquid into the guard's face from a sports drink bottle. The pair then fled.
Two sisters nearby were also splashed with a small amount of the liquid, causing temporary skin irritation.
An off-duty police officer arrested a 17-year-old, from Norwood, who was released on police bail until 9 November.
British Transport Police (0800 40 50 40) want to identify a youth, caught on the train's CCTV with a bottle and a bag which may have hidden it, over the attack.

A person may have never been to the province of Kharezm, he or she may have never heard of their customs and traditions, But it is impossible not to know their traditional dance!
None of Uzbekistan's concerts, ceremonies and national holidays, such as Navruz are held without this dance. With not the simplest, yet interesting and unique moves, this dance and its music does not let anyone watching just sit; they will definitely join and enjoy the dance even from their seats!
From variety of types, this one, performed by girls is a nice example of how they do it. Check it out!

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by BHendri5, May 1, 2006.
5 Defense and offense this season?
I believe our Defense and offense will be top 5.
Defense possibly offense maybe top 10, OL is still a worrying point
Agreed, however, there is something to add. I believe we will have the #1 ranked special teams coverage unit, and we should be vastly improved in the return game (punt returns especially) as well.
Even with a top 5 calibur offense (which I don't think we have), it would be tough for a Parcells team to finish up there statistically because of the conservative playcalling. I could see a top 5 defense and a better than average offense this year.
I like the pieces we have. I really do.
But there are still a lot of "ifs." Too many for me to sit here, right now, and make a bold prediction.
But, yeah, if some things hold up....I think the Cowboys could be a darn good team. It's all gonna come down to the OL, and injuries.
I think you should rid your thoughts of conservatism this year. At least compared to years past.
We now have Terrell Owens.
Our offense is based on speed more than it ever has been. And look at all the additions we made to our passing game this year. We were conservative last year only because we were forced to by a young and inexperienced and unhealthy oline.
Fact is going to a two tight end formation means we certainly aren't going to be conservative. Having two tight ends creates a mismatch on the field. And its a mismatch we're going to exploit against every defense in the nfl. In addition to having Glenn and Owens...
I won't say that we won't have a good ST but I really don't see any reason for the optomisim there. Our ST's have sucked in coverage since the arrival of Bruce DeHaven and he is still here; he has been a horrible ST coach. Here's hoping you're right but I'll believe it when I see it.
top 5 D? the potential is there, so i'm gonna say it's a strong chance, plus us being in the 2nd year in the scheme and all, and the added talent, esp. a force opposite Ware in Carpenter, but top 5 O? no, it's simple, the line is still a big question
Agreed the Line is still a big question on O. And beyond that we still have Parcells and his Bus Driver, play not to lose philosophy which is not conducive to a highly productive Offense. The two TE set is not a high powered type of Offense so I expect a lot of close games. Maybe this year we will have a FG kicker who can pull our fat out of the fire at the last minute.
I expect a top 5 defense, and a middle of the pack offense. Similar to the Steelers, but without the ability to enforce our will with a bruising running game.
T.O. already creates mismatches in passing situations, thus leaving Glenn (arguable one of the NFC's best one on one receivers) to stretch the field. Leaving LB's to cover Witten and Fasano. I really like our offensive capabilities, especially with a healthy Julius Jones. The effectiveness of the pass will open up draw plays, which Jones thrived off us if you study his game film (esp. New York and Seattle games).
Defensively we had a great unit last year until Henry went down, now we've added solid rookies in Watkins and Carpenter to help our glaring holes of OLB and FS. Ayodele isn't exactly a scrub either, bolstering the interior of our defense. We've really got a shot this year, regardless if I'm being a little bit too much of a homer.
Add the most accurate kicker in the NFL, and the best receiver in the NFL statistically the past two-three years. How can we not have a shot to be in the top 5 on both sides of the ball?
On offense, the key to success will be the OL. The skill positions are looking good barring injury to our group of fragile playmakers - TO, TGlenn and Julius.
On defense, the key will be Jason Ferguson - if he plays better next year combined with improved play of the ILBs against the run, then we should be considerably improved. I think Carpenter should start before the year is through and will be a big upgrade over what we had last year.
I see us finishing borderline top 10 defense and offense but I doubt we make it into the top 5 in either. With a little luck we should make the playoffs and then anything can happen. This should be the best Cowboys team since 1996.
I just hope BP knows what he's doing with that O-Line. If we had a wall up front like the dynasty Boys had we'd be putting up Colt-like numbers.
a top 5 offense requires a premiere offensive line. like a seattle or indy
I agree our OL still needs some improvement. But I believe our D can b a top 5 in the league. About our offense we can b a top 10 if our OL can protect drew this yr.
i agree with the idea of us having a top5 defense just because i dont see any glaring hole anywhere, FS is our biggest hole and with the amount of guys trying to start at that position we will find somebody good enough to free up roy.
as for offense, we are great at the skill positions. RB is a small concern with JJ and his injuries. and oline is a huge concern with unproven and below average players.
i say defense top5
offense top10
think of it like this, our Defense will have fewer points allowed/game than our offense will have points scored/game. this will result in a winning season .
Winning games comes down to being the better team in at least 2 of 3 areas: special teams, offense and defense. We have upgraded considerably at placekicker and we've added some solid special teams guys in players like Boiman and Skyler Green, not to mention the fact the Davis should be freed up to concentrate more on special teams. As long as our rotation at NT is effective, our defense should be top 10, with a chance of being top 5 depending on how our LB's hold up. Offense will all come down to our OL and TE play. For now, I would give our offense a solid chance at being top 10.
For perspective here is how the Cowboys did in 2005:
Offense: 13th - Only 35 yards per game from being in top 5
Defense: 10th - Only 16 yards per game from being in top 5
Getting into the top five in both offense and defense seems more than doable considering the upgrades on both sides of the ball.
Our OL wasn't that bad until injuries started to hit it. Consider we improved the mobility with adding Kosier, our running game should be more productive. I don't see 49 sacks this year with a healthy line, which means more yards per game in the passing game, with the addition of TO. We are going to be hard to stop. Top 5 is very doable.
On D, I wouldn't expect anything less than a totally awesome D. Ware, should get over 10 sacks easy this year. Roy will be freed up to roam the line again and the additions of Carpenter and Akins in the LB core will shore up the run D. Watkins in the FS, will help to prevent some late game TDs and drives that haunted us last year and adding Green and Mike V, our special teams will be awesome. Green and Vandy will win us 2-3 games alone.
I like the way Bill has put this team together so far. If the young OL don't step up this year and prove they are worth the time and effort, next year draft and FA should be heavy on OL. This is the only area of NEED i see on this team besides one more true WR to develop. I think we add 2 good OL to the mix and one 2nd or 3rd round WR talent and we are set for the next several years.
Statistically, we were strong on ST coverage units last year. We got knocked out of the top 7 b/c of weakness at K, which there's every reason to believe we've improved.
If we add juice to the return game, especially on punts, get more of Davis and if Beriault, Boiman, and Watkins can deliver on their ST promise, there's every reason to believe we'll have very good ST units all around next year.

Gordon the Warden
Gordon the Warden was the prison-keep
For souls gone in a criminal way,
For souls whose morals had fallen asleep,
and for souls who had gone astray.
Gordon the Warden was a kind-hearted man,
Though his work made him tough and stern.
He wanted to help, you must understand,
Their lives he wanted to turn.
Gordon the Warden would teach when he could
The better road to follow in life.
And to his joy, some would turn for the good,
But others would cause only strife.
Gordon the Warden would never give in
He kept trying to rescue his men,
For though this world is filled with sin,
Some lives turned around, now and then.
Gordon the Warden was a man you can see
Who worked at a job he did hate,
For though he did give to some their liberty key,
Most men had to linger and wait.
So Gordon the Warden left the prison for good,
To seek for his life something more,
He took a job that most never would,
As a bouncer who showed people the door.
Now Gordon the Warden is happy again,
For often he is heard to shout,
"Once my life was keeping folks in,
And now it is keeping folks out!"
