A guide to Spanish citizenship and permanent residence
After living in Spain for five years you can apply for permanent residence, and after 10 years you can apply for Spanish nationality or citizenship.
After you have lived in Spain for five years you can apply for permanent residence, and after 10 years you can apply for Spanish nationality – although there are exemptions, which allow some people to apply even sooner for long-term residence in Spain. There are some differences between the two types of Spanish permanent residency.
Holding an EU long-term permanent residence permit allows you to stay on as a resident in Spain while retaining your own nationality and passport. With a Spanish permanent resident you will get most of the same benefits enjoyed by Spanish citizens as long as you fulfil certain conditions, like being able to support yourself financially. You can move around the EU for limited periods, and longer with permission.
If you become a Spanish citizen, however, you will need to give up your original nationality and passport. You will enjoy all the same rights as other Spanish citizens, as well as become a citizen of the EU with freedom of movement throughout the EU. You can also vote in European elections.
Long-term residence in Spain
Once you have lived in Spain legally for five uninterrupted years, non-EU nationals can apply for an EU long-term residence permit. A long-term residence permit allows you to stay in Spain indefinitely working or otherwise, under the same conditions as Spanish citizens.
You have to prove that you have adequate financial resources to provide for you and your family (if applicable) and proof of public or private health insurance with a company authorised to operate in Spain. When you have this permit, you can work freely and enjoy social services and benefits in Spain. You can generally move between other EU member states for up to three months, and longer for certain purposes if you're granted a permit to do so.
If you hold a Blue Card from another EU-member state, and have lived elsewhere in the EU for the same period, this also permits you to long-term residence in Spain as long as you have lived for two years in Spain beforehand.
If you hold an EU long-term residence permit granted by another EU member state and want to stay on in Spain, you will have to relinquish your long-term residence status in the other country and apply for an EU long-term residence permit from the Foreigner's Office (Oficina de Extranjeros) in Spain. Click here to find your local office.
Obtaining Spanish nationality
You can apply for Spanish nationality after 10 years of residence in Spain. You can also acquire Spanish nationality through marriage or through having Spanish parents even if they were born outside Spain.
You can apply to become a naturalised Spanish citizen after you've lived in Spain for 10 uninterrupted years and can prove 'good citizenship' and a 'sufficient' degree of integration into Spanish society, for example, being able to speak Spanish and taking part in social activities that are part of the Spanish way of life.
Refugees only wait five years and nationals from Spanish-American countries, Andorra, the Philippines, Equatorial Guinea, Portugal and those of Sephardic origin wait only for two. The Spanish government currently has a bill going through parliament that aims to change the law regarding those of Sephardic origin so that any applicant, Jewish or not, who can fulfil certain criteria such as having links to Sephardic culture or even knowledge of Ladino, the Judeo-Spanish language, may be offered instant naturalisation – so watch for updates.
If you're the spouse/widow/widower of a Spaniard or are the child of Spanish parents (even if born outside Spain) or Spanish grandparents, then you only have to wait one year.
How to apply for Spanish nationality
You have to apply at the Civil Registry where you live in Spain. You should be able to prove that you are a 'good citizen' and be deemed by the authorities to have integrated into Spanish society.
Once you have been approved, you have to swear your loyalty to the King and promise to obey the Spanish constitution and laws.
Unless you're from a Spanish-American country, Andorra, the Philippines, Equatorial Guinea or Portugal, you also have to renounce your previous nationality.

Good day and thank you for this site. I am assisting my friend who was born in Cape Town, South Africa in 1968 to a Spanish father. His parents were not married and he was handed over for adoption. His father left soon after and returned to Spain. Would my friend be able to get a Spanish passport even though his parents were not married? Situation 2 is that his biological mother later married a Spanish citizen and obtained a passport being the spouse I believe. Would my friend be able to get a Spanish passport through his mother maybe? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is NO TEST for the swearing in ceremony for Spanish citizenship. It's a group ceremony where you repeat 5 lines read aloud by a judge that takes 6 minutes. 2 weeks later you receive a Nationality certificate in the mail, and get an appointment to get a Spanish Passport at the Police Station. Easy.

My grandfather was born in Spain in 1935. His mother is a Spanish originally. She traveled to Palestine in 1938 because of the Spanish civil war. These dayes we have got a birth certificate of my grandfather from civil registration of Las Palmas. my father will obtain the Spanish nationality this year (2014). Can I get the Spanish nationality as a grandchild of a Spanish grandfather? Please take in you account that My age is NOW 29 years old and I did not take MY opportunity/RIGHT of choose the Spanish nationality in the past. because we did not able to extract my grandfather's birth certificate from civil registration, and we were deprived from it by force as a result of civil war since 1937. and we live now in Palestine under occupation and with no real nationality because it is not independence country . best regards

For those of you asking about obtaining perminant residency with a student visa it's not possible until you can prove you have lived in Spain for three years. Furthermore, by proof they mean specifically being empadronado (registering your residence with the town hall). On top of that you must also have official fingerprints from your country of former residence/citizenship sent to Spain, show proof of health insurance in Spain, proof that you can support yourself and a job contract (which means you need to find a place to work and have them contract you before you can even start working). In addition to all of this, AFTER you have the appointment to submit the documents (which can be over a month away from the moment you try to get it) the entire process to just get the ok letter takes at least two months. To be clear this type of residency is called ARIAGO. Residency is not so easy to get if you are a nonEU citizen. I am an American and from experience of myself and others I know the process takes anywhere from 6 months to a year after living for three years officially empadronado.

David Jenkins posted:
Applying for Spanish citizenship is not straightforward. Firstly, it can take nearly two years. Secondly, there is no interview with a judge. Thirdly, be careful about your "legal residency".. This means ten years of having your residency card. That you are an European citizen with a right to llive in Spain from the moment you arrive does not seem to count.
Lucas posted:
Hola! my name is Lucas, i have submitted the documents and paperwork at the ministry of justice. Now how long does it usually take to procure the Spanish Passport. Prior receiving it do i have to undergo any interview and any other formalities that needs to be followed.
David posted:
Thanks for the article. Getting ready to submit my documents but concerned about the 'test'. Your article suggests this is performed later by a judge during an interview. Is this correct or should I expect an evaluation during submission of documents?
Do you know an internet site where I can I find information about the infamous 30 questions that will be asked?
Denise posted:
My son would like to work for the National Police here in Spain, and has been told many times that you must be a Spanish citizen, or renounce your British citizenship.

Hi All,
I have finished writing a second edition of my first published novel and I wanted to insert a map of the lands this story covers.
I wanted something that looked ancient and hand drawn, see below example from Google.
The size I need is 1280×720 resolution, I have drawn how the map should look as a VERY rough guide but the general shape is there. I will need you to add the forests, mountains, sea etc as well as draw a miniature representation of the main cities, see below descriptions
City descriptions (City locations marked with a black dot on my sample map)
And ancient Egyptian city surrounded by a 50 meter tall wall. Each corner of the city has 4 tall obelisk and in the center of the city is a great pyramid with a golden tip. The city is surrounded by a large plain of a few miles with a forest to the west.
See below file for this. the only difference would be to make the tower in the middle much more grand. It is a tower of light (it can be illuminated) and is taller beyond the clouds.
Great forest of Eshcaa
Think of the forest of Endor from star wars. It is a dense forest with very tall trees, some with spiral staircases and giant tree houses built on them. the entire area around this city is covered in dense forest.
Great Eastern Empire
Something similar to the below image but I wanted a chinese type castle in the middle of the city
Kingdom of Vereor
Think of the Vatican in the 1400's
This is a destroyed city, you can add a ruined medevil type castle here
If you have any questions you can post here or email me @ email@example.com and as the title says I am willing to pay, once we agree a price I am willing to pay half upfront.
Please let me know and thanks for your time.

A suspected burglar will make his first court appearance Monday morning. Lawmen think he hit two homes in one neighborhood in a matter of minutes this weekend.
21-year-old Ontario Flowers of Tallman Circle in Midway Park has been arrested in Onslow County. Detectives say Flowers broke into a trailer on Shady St. Sunday, and ran from the scene with a duffle bag full of stolen goods. A neighbor saw it happen and called the cops, who found Flowers at a nearby gas station.
Detectives say Flowers is tied to another crime in the same area on Sunday as well.
Flowers is being held under a $50,000 bond.

The Sidecar support that is also the right foot peg can stay on the bike and be used as the foot peg. I will make some kind of slip on rubber footpeg cover so I do not have to remove it.
Once you ride it a while, the tires will square off. If you remove the sidecar to ride it solo, it will handle terribly with the squared off tires. Get yourself some spare rims and tires or leave the tub on.How much $$$ you figure you have into it?
The bike on a centerstand completely rearranges the geometry of the whole thing. I suppose if you figured a good estimate of how much higher the bike is, you could put the SC wheel up on a block while you attach it- but that seems like an awful ot of trouble. Maybe I should sit down and shut up.

Luxury Weekend Getaways for Couples: Get the Romance Back
Posted Mar 8th 2011 04:00 PM

New Orleans
The music, the architecture... everything about New Orleans makes it a perfect location for spending some time with a loved one. To add a little luxury into the mix, try a stay at the Ritz-Carlton. Located just steps from the French Quarter, this idyllic hotel offers a "Bed and Breakfast" package with deluxe accommodations and breakfast for two so you can sleep in and start your day energized. Make sure to visit the plethora of art galleries and antique stores in the neighborhood.
San Diego
Paradise Point is a secluded 4-acre resort near San Diego's Mission Bay, but if the peace and quiet isn't enough to stir up that lovin' feeling, how about a little ambiance? With their "Romance in Paradise" package, couples score accommodations in a bungalow-style guestroom; dinner at Baleen, the resort's restaurant; and turndown service complete with chocolates and a single red rose. Some other cozy amenities at this getaway for couples include a late night bonfire with s'mores and "dive-in" movie night, which features flicks from the comfort of the resort pool.
New York City
It can be hard to get a good night's sleep in the "City That Never Sleeps," but you're bound to get some delicious shut-eye with your loved one at the Roosevelt Hotel. Situated a few blocks from Grand Central Station, this suite hotel has huge bathrooms, large living room areas, and super-plush beds that just beg to be luxuriated in. After a few hours of doing nothing, head to the Grand Central Market for artisan meats, cheeses and desserts that you can bring right back to your room, prepare and munch while you enjoy the city views.
Austin is known for its music scene and all that yummy BBQ, but there's plenty in this Texas city for couples to do. The Four Seasons, situated on Lady Bird Lake, has spectacular views of both the city and the park, and one fantastic restaurant in TRIO. Best of all, the hotel is within walking distance of some of the best bars, music venues and shopping Austin has to offer.
Atlantic City
You don't need to gamble to enjoy a romantic getaway in the "Las Vegas of the East Coast." Harrah's Resort has plenty of top-notch dining, spacious rooms and one very sexy pool that will put the flame back in your couplehood. The "Pool After Dark" package makes the pool area even better: Two tickets to a late-night party with popular DJs, food and drinks, as well as a stay in a water view room. When you're ready to walk the famous Atlantic City Boardwalk, Harrah's has its own shuttle to partnering resorts closer to the taffy.

Smart Thinking: Three Essential Keys to Solve Problems, Innovate, and Get…
by Art Markman
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Worth reading.
Quite impressive book that teaches you how to think !
When findings in Cognitive Psychology and Cognitive Science helping You break free and opening room for more creative ideas !
Definitively a Key to create a Culture of Smart Thinking and therefore to assist you in making important decisions in your life. Kind of pretty nice asset and must read book !
Tuesday, May 15 - 2012
I enjoy books that take science and academia and put them in terms that anyone can understand. Smart Thinking does that. It is essentially a book about how your mind works when it comes to solving problems. One of the main points I took away is that your mind needs to be able to connect the dots. You may not know how to solve a problem, but you have a lot of other knowledge that could be useful in helping you identify a way to solve the problem. You just need to let your mind connect the dots of what you do know to lead you to the answer. The other major takeaway is that most people remember three things about any encounter they have. I will be able to use this in my work to be more effective.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0399537228, Hardcover)
When you understand how the mind works, you can think smarter—and act smarter.
Based on the precepts of cognitive science and drawing on a half century of interdisciplinary studies, Smart Thinking is the first book to reveal a three-part formula that distinguishes Smart Thinking from innate intelligence and shows how memory works, how to learn effectively, and how to use knowledge when you need to get things done.
Beginning with defining the difference between Smart Thinking and innate or raw intelligence, cognitive psychologist Art Markman demonstrates how it is possible to learn Smart Thinking that you can apply to the real world.

Governor-elect Haley Barbour has named the retired leader of the University of Mississippi Medical Center as interim director of the state's Division of Medicaid.
Dr. Wallace Conerly, who retired from UMC last June, says he hopes to run the program for no more than 60 days. But Barbour said Monday that it might take up to four months to find someone willing to take on the complicated job.
Barbour said he chose Conerly because the former medical school dean understands Medicaid and knows people in Washington who control the program.
Conerly, a Tylertown native, served as vice chancellor for health affairs and dean of the medical school at UMC. He held the post from 1994 until his June 30 resignation.
Conerly succeeds Rica Lewis-Payton, who has been Medicaid director under Democratic Gov. Ronnie Musgrove. Lewis-Payton is going to work in a new position at UMC.
Conerly, 68, said one of his primary responsibilities will be finding a permanent Medicaid director to serve during the Barbour administration.

It's time again for the annual 'Stella Awards'! For those unfamiliar with these awards, they are named after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot coffee on herself and successfully sued the McDonald's in New Mexico where she purchased the coffee. You remember, she took the lid off the coffee and put it between her knees while she was driving.
Here are the Stella's for the past year:
Kathleen Robertson of Austin , Texas was awarded $80,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was
running inside a furniture store. The store owners were understandably surprised by the verdict, considering the running toddler was her own
Carl Truman,19, of Los Angeles, California won $74,000 plus medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Truman apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbor's hubcaps.
Terrence Dickson, of Bristol, Pennsylvania, who was leaving a house he had just burglarized by way of the garage. Unfortunately for
Dickson, the automatic garage door opener malfunctioned and he could not get the garage door to open. Worse, he couldn't re-enter the house because the door connecting the garage to the house locked when Dickson pulled it shut. Forced to sit for eight, count 'em, EIGHT, days on a case of Pepsi and a large bag of dry dog food, he sued the homeowner's insurance company claiming undue mental anguish. Amazingly, the jury said the insurance company must pay Dickson $500,000 for his anguish. We should all have this kind of anguish.
Jerry Williams, of Little Rock, Arkansas, garnered 4th Place in the Stella's when he was awarded $14,500 plus medical expenses after being bitten on the butt by his next door neighbor's beagle, even though the beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard. Williams did not get as much as he asked for because the jury believed the beagle might have been provoked at the time of the butt bite because Williams had climbed over the fence into the yard and repeatedly shot the dog with a pellet gun.
Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania because a jury ordered a Philadelphia restaurant to pay her $113,500 after she slipped on a
spilled soft drink and broke her tailbone The reason the soft drink was on the floor: Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.
Kara Walton, of Claymont, Delaware sued the owner of a night club in a nearby city because she fell from the bathroom window to the floor, knocking out her two front teeth. Even though Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the ladies room window to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge, the jury said the night club had to pay her $12,000....oh, yeah, plus dental expenses. Go figure.
This year's runaway First Place Stella Award winner was Mrs. Merv
Grazinski, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, who purchased a new 32-foot
Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, from an OU football game, having driven on to the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually leave the driver's seat while the cruise control was set. The Oklahoma jury awarded her, are you sitting down, $1,750,000 PLUS a new motor home. Winnebago actually changed their manuals as a result of this suit, just in case Mrs. Grazinski has any relatives who might also buy a motor home.
Are we, as a society, getting more stupid...? Ya think??!! More than a few of our judge's elevators don't go to the top floor
I love #1 was an OU fan.

Stella wasn't driving, and the coffee was too hot...
Oh, and yes the rest is BS too...

Welcome bob!
I would recommend posting your work on the forum (in a new thread), so that you can get some feedback here.
Hi. Long time listener first time caller and all that.
I'm never been much cop with map design but I've always tried. I used to produce all my maps by hand until we started playing modern day games and ended up just using tourist or OS maps for simplicities sake.
I used to love creating buildings and vehicles for my RPG games but unfortunately after decades of them sitting in folders my kids got a hold of them and the only one to survive is my earliest attempt.
I'm currently working on a new campaign setting with a few folk on the RPG Bloggers Network. Not doing that well with my map so far but its slowly coming together between trial and error and the tutorials from here. My latest attempts can be found here.

I moved into this house 5 years ago that has 2 zone heat. The upstairs has hot water baseboard heat which has always been a little noisy on start up (ticking, snapping etc. the usual). This summer we added a new room upstairs and completely renovated the bathroom. Last night when I turned on the upstairs heat for the first time, the brand new baseboard in the new room and the bathroom was as noisy, if not more so, than the old rooms had been. I guess my question is, with a brand new installation like this, couln't the plummer have done something to eliminate or reduce this? Haven't there been new products etc. over the years? Was he just lazy and took shortcuts? Is there any chance that since this was the initial startup it will get quieter with use? Note the heat is great-no problem with that. Thanks in advance for any input.
Thanks for your reply but I'm a bit of a novice at this. When you say the air control procedure was inadequate is this due to something done during installation or is it an exisitng problem? I guess what I'm trying to determine is if the plummer did a bad install or not. As it is, since the extension was done we hear a ticking in the wall where the hot water line is from it rubbing against the stud. I would complain to the plummer but from what I've been told it's to late now, there's nothing that can be done about that. Thanks again.

I am looking to build a road frame to handle 50+mm tires. I want to use lugs so I will need to bend and crimp the chainstays to make clearance for the tire. The issue as I see it is the starting angle from which the stays exit the lugs at the BB so bending is a requirement.
What is the best method to use since I need to make the bend in a very short distance?
Plus, I need tips on crimping the interior and exterior of the tube for clearing the tire and chain ring. Thanks in advance.

What's New: Murray Circle's Light-Hearted Menu With A View
Just a breath beyond the arc of the Golden Gate bridge in Sausalito, the Cavallo Point Lodge encompasses a cluster of white-washed former World War II military barracks. History geeks know the structures date back to the early 1900s. But most in-the-know San Franciscans concentrate on the fun part. Cavallo Point's Murray Circle restaurant and its adjacent Farley Bar make up one of the closest hang-outs to San Francisco that actually lets you feel like you're miles and miles away.
At Your Service: When Is It OK to Make Special Requests?
"Hold the onions."
"Can you put the Bernaise on the side?"
"Can I add pork instead of chicken?"
Servers field special requests daily. Most diners don't feel totally comfortable asking. How do you know when you're crossing the line? And how do chefs really feel about making all these exceptions? There's only one way to find out. Ask them.
When is it OK to make special requests? When is it asking too much?

Al Bias made a difference in Elkhart
ELKHART — Al Bias once joked that he was the unluckiest man on earth when he won $48,000 (before taxes) on the "Hoosier Millionaire" show.
"I haven't had a bit of luck since," he once said of the 1991 win. "I couldn't even pay off all my bills with that stuff."
But Elkhart was lucky to have Al Bias, according to those who knew him. The former Elkhart Community Schools administrator died Friday morning in his home after several years of ill health.
"Elkhart's a better community for having Al as one of our citizens and probably the world's a little better place because Al was here," said Gene Hungate, who was an administrator with Bias at Elkhart Central High School and in the school system's central office.
Bias came to Elkhart as assistant principal of Elkhart High School in 1970 and became the Elkhart Central High School principal in 1974.
He and his wife, Doris, integrated Greenleaf Manor when they moved to Elkhart. They raised five sons. But he also helped raise lots of other people's children.
"He was very serious about the raising of his own children and the responsibility for the care and feeding of yours," said Fred Bechtold, who came to Elkhart as school superintendent during Bias's career.
Two of his sons preceded him in death. But even so, he didn't show bitterness. He was still the guy with a booming laugh and quick wit.
"My life has had its potholes," he once told Lillian Bell for an Elkhart Truth column. "I've been criticized for not being a crusader, but that isn't my style. I am comfortable and more effective working behind scenes and in board rooms."
As principal, he personally counseled students. He listened to people who worked for him. Robert Minichillo, who was assistant principal and vice principal for Bias, said he learned how to patiently try to solve a problem and listen to all sides. "His driving force was what's good for kids," Minichillo said.
Minichillo and Hungate said they laughed a lot with Bias. "He just put you in stitches," Minichillo said.
When Bias was once trying on a large blue and white checkered sport coat and it wouldn't fit around Bias' large frame, he quipped, "Cheap cut." Minichillo put it on, wrapping it around himself, and uttered the same line. "He had a contagious laugh," Minichillo said.
The laugh was distinctive, but Bias's impact came from his work. "He was very serious about his work and very responsible, which is the mark of people who want to be leaders," Bechtold said.
Bias was cool and patient, but could "have the appropriate burst of temperament when warranted," Bechtold said, adding that he was "the kind of person you want to take counsel of when dealing with complex matters that involve human beings."
Bechtold promoted him to director of personnel for the school system in 1985. In that job, he recruited teachers. "I think he was a great salesperson for Elkhart and the school system," Bechtold said. He retired from that position in 1996 after 41 years in education.
Bias was active in a number of community organizations, including the board of Elkhart General Hospital. Bechtold said Bias simply made Elkhart a better place.
When he retired in 1996, he said he had adopted the late congresswoman Barbara Jordan's motto that she wanted her legacy to be that "she filled her spot."
Bias did that. The headline over that story in The Elkhart Truth was, "Al Bias changed lives."
Bias is survived by his wife, Doris, whom Hungate described as "a rock" who was incredibly supportive of her husband's work. Three sons and other family members also survive.
The funeral for Bias will be at 11 a.m. Wednesday at Grace Lutheran Church, 831 W. Marion St., Elkhart.

Moving the zipper, raising or lowering the slit, adding more tulle, or completely changing the fabric, can take a number 2 or 3 dresses to be a number 1!

But it is not all about Blush Prom. The premier retail stores spend the week networking and sharing sales and marketing strategies that helps grow their brick and mortar retail prom stores as well.
Our preview shows are what makes us the #1 prom dress designer today says Tara of Blush Prom. We value our stores and allow them to give us honest feedback to make our prom dresses the best available!
As the designs for the 2013 prom dresses are being solidified, Blush Prom is able to rest assured their dresses will be amazing. Each dress that will be available for 2013 has been individually designed, critiqued, redesigned, and selected from hundreds to be the best prom dresses available.

Employment Law Questions? Ask an Employment Lawyer.
Best regards,
Here in lies the rub. I have npt been with the company long enough to receive FMLA. I am sorry I didnt make that statement clear in my initial question. I understand the FMLA states you have to be employed with the company for 12 months. that would put me at May 18th, 2010 for FMLA.
What are my other options, if any, or was I told the wrong information about FMLA?
I understand that you may be disappointed by the Answer you received, as it was not entirely favorable to your situation. Had I been able to provide an Answer which might have given you a successful legal outcome, it would have been my pleasure to do so. I do work diligently to provide you with the correct Answer under the law, and because I have no control over what the law is, I ask you not to hold that against me. It has been my pleasure to assist you, and would be greatly appreciated if you would click the green Accept icon so that I can receive credit for having answered your Question. Thank you in advance.
One more question. As I am having a difficult time digesting.
I was contacted last week by my caseworked through short term disability. No message was ever left. I returned the call immediately. No notes as to WHY she called, only to state that she HAD called. How is any of this my fault? And why is it fair for companies to do this when all I have done is followed everything they have asked me to do to a "T?" I had no forewarning before my points fully totaled termination status. Had there been due dilligence done by the company that represents ATT, I could have at least made an attempt to salvage my job.
Again, how is there no legal recourse for feeling as though I just got thrown "under the bus?"
Would this also constitue for the fact that I have been telling the doctors that I have been having side effects to the various and different medications they have been putting me on? Including dizziness, blurred vision, sleepiness, am on a form of muscle relaxer to help the spastic colon?
Would thta also fall under this potential "insurance bad faith" case?
Thank you very much for having allowed me to assist you. It would be greatly appreciated if you would click the green Accept icon so that I can receive credit for having assisted you.

For the union, "guns are not the issue," says spokesman Rich Templin. "This is about protecting workers' rights. When you drive to work, your car still belongs to you. Your privacy doesn't end when you get to work."
SB 2356, which was introduced earlier this year, prohibits employers or any entities from banning employees from keeping "any legal personal property" locked in their cars.
The Senate Criminal Justice Committee voted 7-1 in support of the bill, which next will go to the Senate Judiciary Committee. But a similar bill was proposed last year in
The Florida Chamber of Commerce and others have strongly opposed the measure, arguing that it violates their property rights.
"Our principal concern is that this bill is somewhere between an attack on the employer/employee contract and on property rights overall," says Mark Wilson, executive director of the Florida Chamber of Commerce.
And many were shocked to learn of the AFL-CIO's support for the bill.
"As the first people in line to be shot in a workplace incident, it seems pretty ludicrous that a union organization would support arming workers," says Brian Siebel, a senior attorney at the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.
But Templin emphasizes that for the AFL-CIO, this is an issue of protecting workers' rights.
"As soon as someone takes the gun out of their vehicle or makes a threat, the law addresses that," he says. "This is about protecting workers' rights to keep things in their cars."
Templin notes that there have been incidents where members have been fired for having union materials in their cars, and this law would prevent such incidents.
To support the bill, the AFL-CIO in
The alliance could make it particularly difficult for employers, many of whom are already trying to fight this bill, says Mark Neuberger, a labor lawyer at Buchanan Ingersoll in
"Employers are already fighting this to protect the security of their workplaces," he says. "But now this could become a bargaining issue with the union."

Pot town pushes back against industrial growers
ARCATA, Calif. Happily isolated on California's remote Humboldt County coast, Arcata has long made room in its heart for marijuana, whether grown illegally in the back woods by refugees of the Summer of Love, or legally in the back rooms of homes by medical pot patients.
But the mellow days are coming to an end. Even Arcata residents who support legalization of marijuana have become fed up with high-volume indoor growing operations that take over much-needed housing and take advantage of the state's loosely written medical marijuana law.
The neighbors of these clandestine pot farms - operated behind curtains, shutters and alarm systems - complain of the skunk-like stink of cannabis, fire hazards, rising rents, vicious guard dogs, caches of guns, illegal pesticides, roadside dumping of unwanted growing gear, and late-night visits from shady characters.
Rather than throw more cops at the problem, the City Council is fighting back in a way befitting this liberal outpost that would rather be known for its pioneering community forest and sewage treatment marsh than marijuana.
Measure I on next week's ballot would impose a 45 percent electricity tax on households - with medical and other exceptions - that use three times the amount of power a typical family home does. The measure takes aim at commercial growers who maximize production by packing homes full of high intensity lights and irrigation systems that gobble electricity and sometimes cause fires from overloaded circuits.
"Our hope is to drive the large-scale growing operations out of town," said Shane Brinton, a city councilman and vice mayor who has pushed the novel idea.
"I don't view it as anti-marijuana," said Brinton. "It's a land-use issue, a public safety issue, and environmental issue as well."
If it passes, it would be the first measure of its kind in the nation aimed at marijuana growers, said Allen St. Pierre, executive director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.
The amount of electricity that would subject a resident to the tax amounts to a $700 per month bill, and is equivalent to the power used by a big chain drug store. Pacific Gas & Electric Co. reports that 633 homes - one in 15- are using that much juice, indicating they are raising pot rather than families.
If that many growers decide to absorb the tax instead of getting out of town, the tax would generate $1.2 million, or nearly 4 percent of the city's $31.7 million budget.
Located on the rainy coast 280 miles north of San Francisco, Arcata is a city of 17,000 that dates to the days when mule trains carried goods from the shipping port to the Gold Rush Country. The lumber and fishing industry here have fallen on hard times, but Humboldt State University is a foundation of the local economy, with contributions from niche manufacturers of gourmet cookies, kayaking gear and goat cheese.
Since the back-to-the-land movement of the 1970s, marijuana has been creeping into the culture and economy, and now permeates it, said Tony Silvaggio, a Humboldt State sociologist and a founder of the Humboldt Institute of Interdisciplinary Marijuana Research.
"This is the center of marijuana culture in the universe," he said. "One of the reasons is we have a very tolerant attitude toward marijuana. Word gets around, and people come here with the sole purpose to grow marijuana indoors..."
Unlike some other states' medical marijuana laws, California's Compassionate Use Act of 1996 sets no limits on plants or processed marijuana, does not prohibit the sale of excess medical marijuana to other patients or dispensaries, does not require patients or growers to register, and does not lay out which diseases or conditions can be treated with marijuana. When growers get busted, they often claim they are growing for patients.

Grey's Anatomy
Grey's Anatomy: Kevin McKidd Gets April Fooled (UPDATE: He Tweets Us to Correct Himself!)
Original story (10:00 a.m.): When it comes to April Fool's Day pranks, nobody is immune — not even the cast of Grey's Anatomy. And this year, even Kevin McKidd (Owen Hunt) fell victim to a trick he totally should have seen coming.
As you already know, our boy Kevin is a jack of all trades: Singer, actor, director, and, of course, surfer. But nobody's perfect, and during a recent day out on the waves with his surf instructor, Kevin managed to get a little injured. Nothing life threatening, as Shonda Rhimes would have it if it had been Owen out there on the surf. Just a "badly bruised intercostal muscle."
And in English, that means Kevin hurt the chest muscles that hang out between his ribs. You're welcome.
While Kevin was searching for home remedies, one of the Grey's crew offered him a suggestion, which he gladly shared on Twitter. "Tammi Ann — our post-production boss — suggested running Absolut Vodka on the bruise — for real!" Kevin tweeted Tuesday. "Anyone heard of that?"
No, no they haven't — because it's not a real remedy for muscle pain. Wait, don't you play a highly played doctor on TV? Oh, you didn't need to go to med school to do that? Well, that changes everything.
Fortunately, Kevin's Twitter followers helped him figure out that Tammi Ann was kidding. "Hmm, you're right. It is April Fool's…" Kevin later added. "Tammi Ann totally got me!"
Vodka on the bruise or not, we're hoping Kevin feels better soon.
Update (5:40 p.m.): Kevin tweeted us (and a few others) to correct himself. Turns out, he got in touch with Tammi Ann and found out that she wasn't pulling his leg. She says that Absolut really has healing properties!

Hi, my name is XXXXX XXXXX I will be glad to help in any way that I can,
You and your wife have nothing to worry about because when you filled out the application for the refinance, you were still employed and when they called on October 14, it was to cancel the loan, so with respect to them,they suffered no damages. Had the loan been approved and they later found out that you were not employed, they could have cancelled the loan, that's about it. But, that was not the case, so you have nothing to worry about with respect to the would-be lender. You went to the title company and cancelled the loan, so you did nothing wrong with respect to the title company, either.
Your boss might get in trouble with the employer, but that's about it. The lender cannot do anything to your boss because they suffered no loss since they cancelled the loan and I do not believe that there is anywhere on the paperwork where your boss would have had to swear to anything under oath. But, even if he did, since the loan was cancelled by the lender, they suffered no loss and they would not be able to claim any damages,

Home -> Community -> Usenet -> comp.databases.theory -> Re: How to determine database market share?
Some interesting points. Interesting that there is a parallel thread on what's the difference between RDBMS and DBMS.
If someone asks about database marketshare than I'd think that all
systems which comply with base requirements (e.g. ACID) must be counted.
Whether it's IMS, a multi-valued DBMS, an XML database, ODBMS or RDMS
doesn't matter.
One gets what one asks for.
Some competitors have gone as far as distinguishing between RDBMS and "modern" RDBMS. Whatever that means...
IMHO opinion the concept of RDBMS is too limiting these days as we see big vendors turning their products into ORDBMS which are becoming hybrids including XQuery and native XML types.

Sioux Valley Hospital USD Medical Center is announcing Phase II of the Sioux Valley Cancer Center. In March of 2006, construction of the next phase of the Cancer Center will begin. An entire floor will be dedicated to the new location of the Sioux Valley Clinic-Breast and Bone Health Institute. This expanding clinic will be moving above the Sioux Valley Outpatient Radiation Therapy area of the Cancer Center, which was the project's first phase.
Phase two also brings further state-of-the-art technology; a Breast MRI and digital mammography for the earliest diagnosis of breast cancer. Bringing this type of technology to the region ensures unparalleled care for patients with a cancer diagnosis.
"Early breast cancer detection means a greater chance for successful treatment and a greater range of treatment options for our patients," says Dr. Dan Blue, Sioux Valley Clinic President.
Phase two of the Sioux Valley Cancer Center is expected to be completed in the spring of 2007.

News: Army works with Penn State to test fuel instrumentation
Story by 1st Lt. La'Nita Collins
FORT A.P. HILL, Va. - During his observation of the 2012 Quartermaster Liquid Logistics Liquid Exercise (QLLEX), Maj. Gen. Peter Lennon, then commander of the 316th Expeditionary Sustainment Command, asked, "How do we coordinate with our national partners and international partners to get fuel into an austere environment, perhaps a less than benign environment, at the outset of a contingency?"
Since then, the US Army has taken steps to reach out to national organizations and help facilitate the efficiency of handling fuel.
In June 2013, the US Army's Tank and Automotive Research Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC) was awarded a contract to work with Penn State University's Applied Research Lab to design better products that measure fuel.
"The scope of the work was to develop better fuel instrumentation products and provide better visibility when fuel is being transported," said Scott Nielsen, a representative of Army TARDEC, located in Warren, Michigan.
Penn State's ARL has designed a new automated wireless meter system that will allow Soldiers to use hand-held devices to test fuel. The ARL is testing this meter system during the QLLEX 2014 at Fort A.P. Hill, Va. from June 3 through 16.
QLLEX is a training exercise that allows Army Reserve units to train at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels across the United States. Approximately 90 percent of the Army's liquid logistics assets reside in the Army Reserve.
"This experiment at QLLEX is our one big test to determine how effective this meter system is," stated Nielsen. "With this experimentation, we are determining the validity of the data being reported by the meters."
Nielsen said that testing the meter system during an exercise like QLLEX 2014 allows for better control when testing the accuracy of this new wireless meter system. It also allows Soldiers to train with the new equipment.
"It's events like this that we get the good data—it's not just about numbers, it's about interfacing with Soldiers too and ensuring that they are able to operate the new equipment," said Nielsen.
"Penn State's Applied Research Lab will receive an initial issue of 20,000 gallons of fuel compared to the usual 70,000 gallons of fuel," said Master Sgt. Christopher Jackson, Avon, Connecticut, with the 439th QM Company. "The difference in the fuel gallon
number for QLLEX 2014 is because the 439th will be using the equipment designed by Penn State's ARL, to test the meters."
The data collected from the meters will be analyzed and reported after the QLLEX 2014 exercise.
"We have tried many commercial products, but the [wireless] metering technology is what the Army has decided to go with," said Nielsen. Depending on the success of the technology, the data that is collected, and the funding for this project, Nielsen believes that this wireless meter system could be implemented within a three to ten-year time span. Although this is the first phase of testing of this system, Nielsen said he is positive that this will be an ongoing process.
This is not the first time the Army has worked with Penn State. The Army Logistics Management College (ALMC) at Fort Lee, Virginia, has partnered with Penn State Executive Programs to offer a certificate in Supply Chain Management for military personnel.
If Penn State's ARL has successful results and there is funding, they will continue to test the validity of the wireless meter system and look forward to maintaining the partnership with the Army to conduct research.
The Army is constantly seeking innovative ways to be more efficient and accurate in order to deliver products to its customer in a succinct, cohesive, yet cost-effective manner. Partnerships with national and academic organizations such as Penn State display the Army's continued efforts to integrate and try new technology.
