Get More Food Stamps: 95% of People Miss This Trick!
Need more food stamps money than you're currently receiving? If you've ever tried to live on food stamps alone, then you know that the monthly amount just isn't enough to actually buy groceries for an entire month. However, you may not know that there are several ways to get more food stamps funds each month!
Of course, we would never recommend that you do anything illegal or unethical. The tips we're recommending here are all very legal. In fact, they're part of the food stamps regulations!
When it comes to food stamps, you need to know about this.
Before we get into the details of how to maximize your food stamps budget, let's revisit some basics about this program. If you haven't applied yet, you can sign up for food stamps here!
Food stamps is also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Since the funds are deposited on a special debit card known as an Electronic Benefits Transfer card, the program is also known as EBT. Some states create even more names for food stamps (such as CalFresh in California).
You can use these funds to buy groceries, seeds, produce-bearing plants, fresh produce, and even certain gift baskets! You can see a full list of items you can buy with food stamps here.
We've even found ways that you can get discounted museum and zoo admission with your EBT card! You can get discounted Amazon Prime, too. Of course, you don't pay for these things with your EBT card. Instead, you just show that you actually have the card to prove that you meet the income requirements of the program. For a full list of 300+ things you can get discounted or free with your EBT card, visit this link.
This is how they decide how much you'll get in food stamps.
Not everyone who receives food stamps will receive the same amount. The awards are determined based on household size, income and expenses. A complicated algorithm is used to determine exactly how much you will receive each month.
The law establishes a maximum food stamps allotment.
However, you'll never receive more than the legal maximum allotment for food stamps. This amount is determined by law but varies by year.
This is the maximum monthly benefit table for 2018 for the contiguous 48 states. There are different income limits for people who live in Alaska, Hawaii, Guam and the Virgin Islands.
As you can see, the estimated average monthly benefit is usually much smaller than the maximum monthly benefit. As the household size increases, the gap between the average and maximum only gets bigger!
Of course, this is largely because of income. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) expects families to contribute 30% of their net income on food. Only families with no income whatsoever will receive the maximum monthly benefit.
This is the mathematical equation they use to determine your food stamps award.
The food stamps office uses a mathematical equation to determine exactly how much money you will receive in food stamps. The first step to getting more food stamps is learning how this math works!
Step One: Find your gross income.
The first step is to identify your gross income. Gross income is what you earn before any deductions or taxes are taken out.
Your net income is what remains after expenses and deductions. In order to calculate your net income, the food stamps office will subtract your eligible expenses and any deductions that you claim. We'll talk more about deductions in just a bit.
Step Three: Identify the family's expected contribution.
Since SNAP rules expect families to contribute 30% of their remaining net income toward food expenses, the agency will calculate 30% of the final income determined in Step Four. If you have no remaining net income, your contribution will be $0.
Step Four: Determine the monthly food stamps amount.
In order to determine how much money you'll receive in food stamps, take the maximum allotment for your family size and deduct your family's expected contribution. If it's $0, then you'll receive the maximum allotment.
There are three things you can do right now to get more food stamps.
There are several basic mistakes that people make when they apply for food stamps. Some people include extra people in their household and get penalized for reporting their roommate's rent. Others fail to report income changes. Far and away, though, the most common mistake is not taking advantage of the deductions that are available to you.
Over 95% of people don't claim these deductions!
Deductions play a critical role in determining how much you'll receive in your monthly food stamps allotment. The algorithm relies on your net income, which means what is left over after your expenses. Failing to list expenses and deductions is the #1 reason why people don't get more food stamps funds!
Although you should never make false statements to the food stamps office, there are many expenses and deductions that people simply don't claim. When I was receiving food stamps, I always skimmed over this section. It's easy to do but it can really cost you!
This deduction exists because we all have certain unavoidable expenses, like toilet paper. Rather than itemizing all of these little expenses, the government has determined it's easier to just issue everyone a standard deduction amount.
You don't have to do anything to claim this one because it's automatically given to everyone.
If you are earning money from a job, then you will automatically receive the earnings deduction. This amount is equal to 20% of your earnings.
This deduction is designed to compensate for work-related expenses, payroll taxes and other associated costs. It's also a work incentive because it favors people who are currently working.
Statistically, more than half of the food stamps households with children receive this deduction. Overall, this deduction is used by 32% of food stamps households.
If any member of your household is legally obligated to pay child support, then you can receive a deduction for the full child support amount. Only 2% of all food stamps households claim this credit! If you're paying for child support but you didn't notify the food stamps office, then you may be eligible for more food stamps funds each month!
If you have a disabled person or a senior in your household, then you can deduct that person's out-of-pocket medical expenses! Shockingly, only 5% of households claim this credit.
Anyone who is at least 60 years can use this deduction. It is also available to disabled persons of any age, as long as that person meets the USDA definition of disabled.
You must receive Federal Social Security disability or blindness payments, such as Social Security disability/blindness or Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
You must receive disability or blindness payments from the State. These payments must be based on SSI rules.
You must receive an annuity under the Railroad Retirement Act AND be eligible for Medicare.
You must be a veteran who receives EITHER a total and permanent disability award, aid and attendance payments or is permanently homebound.
You must be the surviving spouse or child of a permanently disabled veteran who received VA benefits.
With this rule, you can deduct any out-of-pocket medical expenses that exceed $35 per month. The eligible expenses must belong to the disabled or senior member of your household and be directly related to that person's disability or age.
You may need to supply evidence of these expenses, so keep your receipts! If you keep good documentation and turn it in, then you could receive significantly more food stamps!
When I was receiving food stamps, I never bothered to fill in the cost of my telephone service, garbage service, and other expenses. It seemed like a needless headache in the paperwork. It turns out, I could've received a lot more food stamps if I'd done it properly!
I'm not the only one who makes that mistake, either. Despite high housing costs, only about 68% of all food stamps households claim this deduction.
In order to simplify the application process, many states use a Standard Utility Allowance (SUA) in lieu of actual utility costs. This allowance may be larger or smaller than your actual utilities. In states with optional SUAs, you may be able to provide your actual utility bills and increase the deduction so you can get more food stamps!
If your total housing expenses are more than half of your net income, you could be eligible for a deduction of up to $535 (in 2018). If you have an elderly or disabled household member, there is no cap on this deduction. You could get more food stamps, equal to 30% of your additional expenses!
I can't say this enough: You could get significantly more food stamps if you accurately report all of your housing expenses!
If you want to get more food stamps funds, proving that you have housing costs can help. This is especially challenging for those who are homeless. If you can prove expenses, such as those for temporary lodging, hotel or payments made to friends for housing, you can get more food stamps.
In some states, you can also get more food stamps if you claim a homeless shelter deduction. This fixed amount of $143 is subtracted from your net income. According to this report from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, this deduction is available in Colorado, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, Virgin Islands, West Virginia and Wyoming.
Report reductions in income right away!
I personally know a family who had their income reduced by more than half and yet refused to inform the food stamps office. This family suffered for months until their re-certification, when they were awarded significantly more food stamps.
Don't make that mistake! When you experience an income change, be sure to report it right away.
Don't include other people's income if you don't have to.
Sometimes, clarifying your household can make a huge impact. You could get significantly more food stamps just by making sure the office understands your living situation.
For SNAP purposes, a household is a group of individuals who live together, purchase food together and prepare food together. Your household may include your spouse, children, or anyone else that you both live with and share food with.
That part is critical. In order to be a household, you must live together and share food. If you don't do both, you're not a household and you don't have to include their income.
If you store and prepare food separately, then you don't have to include their income and information on your application. This is especially important for people who live with roommates or who have live-in caregivers. You can contact the food stamps office to clarify this today!
If you are disabled and unable to shop for your own groceries, then you can appoint someone to shop for you. That person does not have to be included in your household as long as you make it clear to the agency that you do not share food with this person.
If you have dietary restrictions and always prepare your food separately, this is also something that should be made clear to your caseworker.
Here's what to do if you think you're eligible for more food stamps.
You need to contact your caseworker immediately! Start by calling or visiting your local government agency that administers food stamps. You can ask to have your food stamps amount recalculated at any time, so you could start getting more food stamps right away!
For the medical expenses deduction, do the medical expenses have to be the disabled persons expenses? For example. I have a disabled son. Does this deduction apply to my dental work since I'm part of the family or just his?
Hi, Rebecca! That's a great question. It appears that the expenses due to have to be long to the eligible person. However, one of the things I read over and over again while I was researching this article is that states have great latitude to expand these rules. Many states have opted to increase income/asset limits and enact other policies that are beneficial to low income families. It never hurts to ask a food stamps caseworker (not the first person who answers the phone at the office, but the person who actually manages cases). The worst they can do is say no!
Hello i was actually wondering how do i apply for the cash benefits i currently receive just food stamps for my son and my self is there a separate application?
Each state has different requirements for signing up and for qualifying. You'll need to visit the office or the online page that you used to sign up for food stamp benefits. The easiest way to figure it out would be to talk to your caseworker at your local assistance (welfare, department of human services, assistance office- it goes by many names) to find out if you can sign up and if you qualify.
I can get cash benefits, but since my ex-son in law owes me over $100,000.00, I would have to sign all that over to the government. If I don't and he ever comes into money, he has to pay my grandchildren what he owes me. Plus, I would only get $120.00 cash a month. That's just not right. I'll take my chanches that he will eventually have to pay them what he owes me.
That doesn't sound right. I hope he eventually pays too!
I would talk to a caseworker more to confirm this, in the state I worked, you sign over the amount you have taken in benefits. It is routine with child support. If you receive $100 in child support but $300 a month in cash benefits, you sign over the $100 to help with the $300. They're not.going to take more than you received.
Thanks for the advice. Checking with the caseworker is a great place to start.
When living in Washington I was able to get my drivers license for only $5 (normally $69) because of receiving benefits such as SNAP and Medicaid. As a family it was only $1 to go to the Hands On Museum. And as you said you could shop at Costco using your SNAP card.
In Washington State, you can ONLY get an ID card for $5 NOT a driver's license. In fact, the DSHS office told me that if you have a drivers license and the DSHS office prints out the voucher for a $5 id card, than that makes your Driver's License void and you no longer have a valid license. So PLEASE Make sure you don't get that paper printed if you do have a License.
Right. I did some calling around, at this time, Washington State does NOT have any discounts on Driver's License costs.
I live in MS. When I recertified for snap, it was the biggest paycheck I'd had in 2 years and I just happened for receive $400 in child support. According to my case worker, I had $1900 income that month. I haven't received child support since and my monthly income is around $1200 normally. I turned in 2 check stubs showing $800 and $1200 monthly to prove that I don't normally have $1900 in income. My worker told me that they can't review my case until it's time for me to recertify again. What can I do??
You can and should report changes to your income as soon as they happen. You should reach back out to your caseworker. I hope this helps.
Thank you for supplying this information. I am a 17 year veteran that became disabled and only receive the monthly pension of around $1,000. Very difficult to be able to survive on this amount of money. Once I received this pension from the VA my food stamps we're cancelled. I recently found out that I can deduct all my expenses and resubmit. Your article has reconfirmed that. The fact is there is 1000s of disable bets who have been given the bare minimum and are homeless or near homelessness like myself. Hopefully my next claim will be approved and I will receive full disability since I can't work at all. Many of us vets are fighting these battles along so sites like this help us. Thank you.
I'm so glad we could help, Alice! My husband's a disabled vet also, so I'm familiar with just how taxing and difficult the VA can be. I'm very sorry you're struggling. I appreciate your service!
You can appeal decisions you think might be wrong. I did this when I was in college because my caseworker counted my school grant money as income and she was not supposed to do that because it is for school expenses. I appealed it, it was sent to a judge, and I won.
Thanks a lot for your helpful info! I've been getting food stamps for years, but I learned a lot from your comments and suggestions. I appreciate what you do.
I'm so sorry to hear that things just keep piling up for you! I know some states offer childcare vouchers for low-income families, I can check for you if you just give me your county and state!
I live in Nevada & am disabled receiving $1354 a month. I'm a widow, own a home & it's impossible to get more than the minimum amount of ebt benefits of $15 a month. None of the info listed would help me & the minimum you list for 1 person household is false unless they have zero income maybe. By law nationwide the minimum amount is $15 & I'd have to pay out of pocket $5000 for medical to get $20 more. I don't make that much nor have bills that qualify. I usually manage $20 or less after bills plus the $15 ebt for food ea month. I do go to commodities once a month if able & once a month food bank offered by church. My health isn't good cause all I can get is pasta, beans, canned veggies rarely any meat. Last time is ate meat was 3 months a go when I got 1 lb ground turkey. Iron so low I was hospitalized. Never heard of anyone single person getting over $15 a month in ebt . Check it out please.
I'm so sorry to hear about your situation. A TON of research went into this article so all of the information we put into it is up to date and accurate. Have you talked to your caseworker about getting more benefits? It also might be worth it to apply at some local food banks to get help- they can sometimes help with fresh meat along with the nonperishables they offer.
Unfortunately, with income being that much, that may be why the EBT is low. I am disabled $733/mo. SSI $37, and EBT is the max . $192. Medicare pays 80% on what they cover and Medicaid picks up the remainin 20inf if its something they cover. There are programs to help pay part B depending on how much you make. It's like a full time job trying to know how to survive if you're not able to work. I'm far from lazy. I miss being able to work. The info posted on here is helpful. God Bless whoever started it. So many are full of fake help. Dad but true. I have yet to have seen that here. Thank you! You're greatly appreciated. St Vincent DePaul/through Catholic Churches who are very helpful. Also United Way has a referral line that will give you places to call depending on what you need. I would think it should be the same in all states. Call 211.
Hi S. HESTER, I Don't know where u live but I live in SC and I receive $1039 disability w/o SSI benefits.
I chose a part D advantage plan, but even if I had chose part B Medicare my Medicaid would pay for it in full. Actually, Medicaid pays my advantage plan premium.
If Medicaid Is paying 20percent they should automatically pay part B premium and u may be able to receive back payments.
I used an Insurance consultant (free of charge, ins.companies pay him) and he was EXTREMELY HELPFUL finding the best plans for me.
On the other hand, I only received $15 ebt.
All states and counties are different, but everyone doesn't know about state benefits.
They even reimbursed me for my Doctor visits and medications for the disabilty waiting period.
Don't know about y'all but I have more time than Money.
It's true what Lindale Sipple is stating. Most of the disabled people I know of only get between $15.00-17.00 a month on food stamps. Even with all the medical deductions over a thousand dollars,you're lucky to get an extra $4.00. It's a shame,especially when most of these people have worked 30+ years and paid into a system that gives them scraps. The formula need to be changed.
Yes, I am only getting $35.00 a month! Imagine all the food that I can buy with that and make it last a month.
That must be really frustrating. I hope you found some useful information in the article. Or you can check here for ways to get cash back from your food stamps. I hope this helps.
Riley I'm helping a disabled man apply for snap and I'm confused , when I tried a couple different formulas I became even more confused when he pays only rent his food stamps went way down .
The short, unhelpful answer is that the way they calculate deductions is confusing and frustrating. Unfortunately, you'll have to reach out to your case worker for more specific details. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
I live in Kansas, am single living on $823 SSDI a month and it is the same way here. $15 was all I was getting starting in October 2018 when some new law went into effect, after I turned in over $400 of medical expenses I got bumped up to $38.
Yikes! I'm glad you were able to get an increase but it doesn't seem like enough. That must be very frustrating. I'm sorry that this information wasn't more helpful to you.
CGW. I hear & agree with what you are saying he Pres. made minor changes however some states including WI where I live had people re evaluated even if they were just approved for the year at $ 192.00/month. Many were then informed their deductions could not be counted twice, as a result many elderly many devel. disabled and disabled were knocked down to the min. of $ 15.00/ month. they refuse to take over counter rx's also refused Dr. orders etc. refused to honor med. miliage etc. Fair Hearings literally were a joke.You must remember also that the person making the ruling in the case of fair hearings/appeals is paid for by the respective state.
I am disabled I'm paralyzed on all my left side, I have a 20 year old and a 12 year old I get a total of $1600.00 a month from SSI but my rent alone is $1050 a month, Ipau like $400 for my utility bills and I spend like $30 a month for medicine. I only get$96 of food stamps for the three of us what can I do to get more money. I live in Los Angeles California.
If none of the tips in this article were able to help you, I would definitely suggest talking with your caseworker. While speaking to them can be frustrating, they're often a wealth of information on where to get more assistance! They might even be able to direct you to some food banks that could help.
From what I was told is that they can't count SSI benefits. They can count SSDI but not SSI. That is what I have read online and that is what I was told by the Food Stamp office.
This is a complicated issue because California does things differently than most other states.
In most states, you can get Food Stamps and SSI. In California, you can't.
"In California, people who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) also receive State Supplementary Payment (SSP). SSI is a federal program that provides cash assistance. SSP is a California program that adds to SSI.
Very helpful information! Explanations easy to understand, thank you for time and effort put into this article, much appreciated. Will share to many I know who are lost in the paperwork and questions from government and state agencies but it is overwhelming.
That would be very hard! I am sorry! We have a whole series on Food Stamps that may offer some more insight. Also have you checked out our post on How to Save on your Power Bill? Low income relief offers lots of different resources. Please check out our full website and search in your location for more relief resources. If you don't see your area, let us know so we can add it to the research list. I hope this helps.
Do you have any information on how a low-income disabled family of 3 can get emergency housing? We've been homeless for going on 5 months now and don't know where to go go for help in shelter costs.
I know you said you applied and were denied, but it might be worth trying to apply again and talking to the assistance office to find out if any of your expenses could be written out of your income. Not all states allow that, but it does work for some people.
I'm including the link to our national Christmas help article. From there, you can find your state. After that, you can check if your county is listed. If not, leave a comment on it and we'll add it to our research list.
Hello, thank you for the information.
I have a question. I recently renew my snap benefits in the state of Texas. I have a 19 year old son that is in college and is still my dependent. They say he can not be considered for benefits, only the ones that are minors . But the thing is , up until 6 months ago, he was included in my snap benefits.
Generally, it's people who live in the household. Is your son living on campus? That might be the issue. Otherwise, I would definitely talk with your caseworker to find out more about why he's not included now.
I'm on a special diet of only fruits and fresh vegetables due to Chirosis. Can I get more food stamps for that? I also just started paying a girl 50.00 a week to help me. Does that add any?
Unfortunately, that's not the kind of information we are able to provide. Your caseworker would be able to assist you with these types of questions. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I have a stepson who is currently placed in a residential setting but ultimately is supposed to come back home to us. Do I include him on the application at this time or not?
Your caseworker will best be able to help you with this question! Thanks!
Hi, my name is Sandy and I am already enrolled in this program but I available to get only $15 a month, which is not enough. I am a full-time college student and because of that, I had to quit my job because they did not want to work with my schedule. I do not know what to do to get more money. I am going to start working in January.
Here are some ways to get Cash from your Food Stamps. As well as some ways to make money in college. I hope this helps.
It's actually not just people who make absolutely no money that will qualify for full food stamps benefits! It just has to do with how the numbers work out. I make just enough to cover bills & taxes and I'm still significantly under the poverty line, and I get the full amount. It's just all about how that formula works out.
Can I get more food stamps if my son has has a IEP learning disability?
That's a great question! We have updated this article with more information about what is considered a disability. I hope this helps.
Unfortunately, credit card bills do not count as deductions.
The parents of your children, even if you are unmarried, will be counted the same as a spouse. As long as they live at your address, they are included by default. I hope this helps.
Unfortunately it's getting SO hard to afford to live anymore!!! I was wondering if you could help me out.
I am on disability, I live with my mom and my boyfriend. My mom works and my boyfriend stays home with me to make sure I'm ok. They always have me put my mom on my application, but not apply for benefits for her, because she pays some of the rent. My mom is always working so I don't prepare food for her. I only get $750 and $700 goes to bills. Should I be putting my mom on the application or just leave her off completely??
I would recommend that you don't put your mom on the application. However, I am not a lawyer and I recommend that you reach out to an attorney. Here is a link to our legal aid directory. I hope this helps.
So I moved out of a house that my boyfriend and I bought. He pays my 407 in child support but I have to give him 200 out of it for the house as we agreed. So how to a go about filing that? I dont want to give them false info since the court says he has to give me 407.
This question would be better directed to a caseworker. Thanks.
In California, I was told by the County worker that medical expenses have to be RECURRING every month to count them.
That sounds right?? I would definitely double check with your case worker though.
The household is you, your 10 year old son and 21 son. You should ask caseworker about your 21 year old; in some circumstances he may also be his own household. Your parent's income should not count as the household income. If you pay rent or portion of utilities, you will need your parents to fill out a form or write a letter to prove that. I hope this helps.
My disabled daughter is being put on a keto diet for her epilepsy. From what I see so far, alot of this food is more expensive. Will we be eligible for additional snap funds?
I am actually not sure the answer to that! You should check with your caseworker. Let us know what you find out! Thanks!
Kristi, I have been on keto for 2 years. It is possible to.eat keto on a budget. It takes planning, budgeting and time. The plus side is that the health.benefits are.real. I am off diabetes, cholestero and blood pressure meds! I also lost 154 lbs. I have saved $$ in medication and doctor's visit co-pays. There are budget keto groups on fb. Forget the grassfed frou.frou ingredients and choose regular meats and veggies. I get all my coconut oil and many other items at Dollar Tree. You can do it!
Recently applied. Was under the limit of gross income. Husband gets paid every 2 weeks. Because of this one month out of the year, he gets 3 paychecks. Was told that federal regulations make them count that one extra paycheck for that one month into the gross income. This put us over the limit. I asked why they did this when we didn't get paid that the other 11 months, was told they have to. How crazy is it that?
That is way crazy! I'm sorry!
Texas hear. Disabled with disabled child. Get 15 a month in snap. Did work with a great caseworker while back. She tried all different ways kept coming up 15. She said when last President was in office he sing a paper that basically if you make a certain range its 15 dollars. She said in there office they call it the hell hole. When you get in you almost can't get out. It's sad. So 15 a month is it. Our new problem is my son doctor said he could try working a little. He needs laptop and money for SAT and college admissions next year so wants to save. Well got letter have to claim his income there probably goes our snap if that happens sadly I will have to make him not work because with snap I get my phone internet and other things can't lose. So I have a child who fights every day to survive with meds doctors but I have to tell him his dreams or just dreams. No college. Sad but true.
I am so sorry to hear that. Here is what we have on getting a laptop. I hope this helps.
Contact your local Vocational.Rehab office to ask that he be signed up for services. They may be able to assist with the preliminary $$. They bought my daughter's books and $200 of clothes for her 1st semester.
Hi there I have a question. I am a recently divorced single mom working for a little over minimum wage. I have two children ages 11 and 18. My question is my 18 year old son works out of town or out of state for weeks at a time do I still have to include him and his income when applying for food stamps be abuse with his income I do not qualify.
Check out this article: Get More Food Stamps. Scroll down to the section that says "Don't include other people's income if you don't have to." You should find some answers there. I hope this helps.

This is who will be godparents to Harry and Meghan's baby
The royal couple have chosen some very famous friends - by Nadia Elshawarby
With Baby Sussex due any minute now, (unless rumours are to be believed that it has already been born!) everyone's wondering which of their high-profile friends Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will choose to be their first-born's godparents.
According to UK bookies Ladbrokes, the front runners are Harry's longtime pal Charlie Van Straubenzee (1/8 odds) and Meghan's close friend Jessica Mulroney (1/3 odds).
It would come as no surprise if Harry's long-time pal is named as godfather, the two met at their prep school, Ludgrove and Harry was a classmate of Charlie's late brother, Henry (who tragically died in a car crash in 2002). Prince William is a close friend of Charlie's brother, Thomas (who is a godfather to Princess Charlotte), and both princes are joint patrons of a memorial fund to help schools in Uganda set up in Henry's name.
Prince Harry and Charlie Van Straubenzee
And with Meghan's stylist/BFF Jessica's three children playing an important role in the duchesses May 2018 wedding, it looks likely that Jessica will be given the title of godmother.
Harry's older brother, Prince William, and sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, currently have 3/1 odds, but it's an unlikely choice. In royal tradition, uncles and aunts already have a role in the child's life, so godparents are usually friends of the parents or less direct relatives.
"Harry & Meghan have a load of options for the godparents, and I have a sneaky feeling that we could see a celeb or two get the call," said William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams.
George and Amal Clooney are frontrunners when it comes to the stars at 8/1. Serena Williams is 10/1, David Beckham 20/1 and Elton John (who performed at the couple's wedding reception) and Oprah Winfrey are both 33/1.

I have tried almost everything! tried diskpart method,3rd party software method, tried to format in safe mode, tried to format in ubuntu too... every time it shows same error : 'Disk is write protected'
please help me to recover my pendrive!

A: First of all check that the pendrive doesn't have a Read-only lock, so you can try to reformat it. There's a free tool called HDD Low Level Format Tool (you can download it from here). Once downloaded, run it, choose your USB and then start the low level format. If it doesn't work, then proceed with the next steps:
[WARNING: This method, as the previous one, will erase EVERYTHING on the device.]
1) Download ChipGenius (a free tool for retrieving the PID and VID of a device).
2) Plug-in your USB and open the program (your device should be autoselected). Take note of the PID and VID of your device (you'll need it later)

3) Now you need to go to FlashBoot.ru's website, which contains a wide variety of information of USB devices: type the VID and PID in the search fields, after that, look for the UTILS column, which contains the name of the tool (or link to the tool) you need to format your device. The tool you need to choose will depend on the capacity of your device (there's also a SIZE column, and in my case my device is 32Gigs).

4) As a last step you have to "trial and error": there are several tools so you'll need to find the adequate one.
NOTE: When you've downloaded any tool, un-plug your USB device, run the tool and re-plug your device so the program can detect it.

Jobs Are Like Weather
They can wipe you out. Employment attorney Meg Maloney fights to fix the damage.
Published in 2014 North Carolina Super Lawyers magazine By Michael Kobre on January 17, 2014
Meg Maloney likes to stir up change. As an associate at the firm Moore & Van Allen from the mid-'80s to mid-'90s, she helped develop the first written maternity and paternity leave and part-time work policy of any North Carolina law firm. Afterward, the policy was published statewide, and other firms soon began adopting their own versions. She also persuaded Moore & Van Allen to stop holding firm events at the Charlotte City Club, at a time when the club banned women from an entire floor and employed a wait staff that was exclusively African-American.
After years at the big firms, and a stint as in-house counsel for First Union Corp., she founded her own three-woman practice in 2008, focusing on employment and labor law. Her colleagues at Maloney Law & Associates are Tamara L. Huckert and Audrey C. Page. She had known Huckert for many years when they decided to venture and build a firm together; she describes their relationship as an effortless give-and-take. Page joined the firm after Maloney met her for lunch and saw a spark. All of the women agree their office should be a welcoming place, since the clients they serve are often feeling unwelcome in the world. It's employment and labor law, after all.
"Look around the room," Maloney says, while sitting at a long wooden table in what was once a screened-in porch in the 1920s house that Maloney has made into an office in the Elizabeth area. "This is not your typical lawyer's conference room," she says. Light spills in from the large windows and Gemma the office dog, a Chinese crested with a long, soft coat, lies at Maloney's feet. "It's a room where people feel comfortable and safe."
Dressed in a blazer, jeans and open-toed sandals, Maloney speaks slowly, as if weighing each word. Her employment and labor practice ranges from wrongful termination to the repercussions facing employees who act as whistle-blowers.
Maloney was raised near Defiance, Ohio in the small town of Sherwood, which "didn't even have a stoplight, just a blinking yellow light," she says. Maloney left Sherwood for college after applying to only one school: Northwestern. "I was from such a small town. I didn't know better," she says.
At Northwestern she had to prove herself. One memory that stands out: when she requested that the chairman of the math department admit her to a precalculus class. He asked about her high school record. She'd had exactly one year each of algebra and geometry. He yelled at her, "Who let you into this school?" His condescension made her more determined. Maloney assured him that if he let her into the class she'd either get an A or an F. She was not going to "run away and cower," she says. She made the A.
Maloney came to realize that she wanted to become a lawyer. She sees it as a career choice consistent with her character. She likes helping people and problem-solving, she says, "or just sticking up for things. I like the intricacies of people and organizations."
As a student at Duke University School of Law, she says she was initially "one of those quiet students." When she had to participate in moot court, she was so nervous at first that she couldn't even remember what happened in her round. "Apparently," she says, "the guy keeping time was more worried about me fainting than keeping time."
Yet Maloney learned to steady herself for those moot court proceedings, and discovered she had a talent for answering the judges' questions. And for argument, she won top honors among second- and third-year students in the moot court competition. She came to see herself as outspoken, not timid.
After graduation from Duke in 1985, she wasn't sure where she belonged. "What law firm will I fit into as an outspoken young woman from the Midwest?" she asked herself. With the help of Willis Whichard—a towering figure in North Carolina law and politics, and later a state Supreme Court justice—she landed at Moore & Van Allen. Whichard had seen her performance in moot court, and recommended she stay in Charlotte.
After she'd been at Moore & Van Allen for several years, a large manufacturing company that conducted a great deal of business with the firm requested that Maloney handle all of its employment cases. At this point, she was set on a career path. In 1996 that path would take her to the legal department of First Union, then the country's sixth-largest bank. First Union hired her as an in-house employment counsel. They were facing a class action, age discrimination suit from former employees of two different banks that they had purchased. The suit was settled out of court in 1997 when First Union agreed to pay the plaintiffs $58.5 million: a record age discrimination settlement at the time, but one that prevented First Union from having to make any admission of wrongdoing.
Maloney explains the essential strategy that guides her work, "It's inefficient to try a case because the same arguments you can make in trial you can make ahead of trial and reach a more efficient resolution, without using all the time and resources [of going to trial]." She believes in settling, if it can be done right. And in employment cases, people are taken out of work for long periods when a trial is set in motion. Business is disrupted as lives are disrupted.
At First Union, she ascended through the ranks to become senior vice president, and she worked with the bank's general counsel to adopt a policy requiring lawyers in the legal division to do pro bono work in the community. She also served on a diversity council in the capital markets division and legal division.
The executives in the capital markets division were known for "chewing up people who didn't work out," recalls Anna Sison, one of Maloney's former colleagues from First Union. As a member of the diversity council, Maloney "had no problem challenging the status quo in the room," Sison says. "She could call people out on things, but not in an angry way." Maloney made it clear that difficult issues could be raised without fear of retribution. "That emboldened other people," Sison recalls. Gay and lesbian employees, African-Americans and other women at the bank could now speak freely on topics they had only whispered about before.
First Union merged with Wachovia in 2001, and Maloney decided to return to private practice. These days she works with both large businesses and individual plaintiffs. "I try to solve the problem they came in with and do more with them," she says. "There's an equalizing effect in the workplace, whether you're dealing with senior executives or rank-and-file employees. You can tell they've been broken down by the experience they've been through."
So, for instance, when a client came in with such severe agoraphobia that she would show up 40 minutes early in the school car pool line to pick up her children in order to get away quickly and avoid interacting with other parents, Maloney offered to waive her consultation fee if the client agreed to listen to a series of tapes on breathing techniques to control anxiety—a process that ultimately resulted in the client's transformation. "By the time she walked back in here, her appearance had totally changed."
Such results are not unique for Maloney. "In one day," she explains, "I have helped negotiate a $3.3 million separation package for an executive at the same time I negotiated the return of a modem to the classroom of a handicapped teacher, who was dependent on the computer for lesson plans."
Practicing employment law in Charlotte, one of the country's critical banking centers, Maloney has witnessed the effects of the economic transformation that began with the financial crisis of 2008. "There's a kind of model now," Maloney says, "where laying off employees has become a way of managing companies [in financial crisis]. But it's not a good way to run your business. "
In such an environment—and at a time of increasing government regulation—Maloney has seen an increase in whistle-blower cases. Such cases might involve employees who regulate safety and compliance being denied the authority to do their jobs properly, or they might involve a company putting its sales function ahead of its compliance function with high-performing sales team members. Whistle-blower cases are among the most sensitive and confidential cases she handles, with some high-level litigation that can involve criminal investigations.
"The reality is, there is a lot of emotion, irrationality, and impracticality. There are usually really unfortunate circumstances when people meet here," says Maloney.
That is one reason why she chooses to meet those clients in what she calls "a room where people feel comfortable and safe." When Maloney decided to start her own firm, she didn't realize that an economic recession was about to hit, but she weathered the storm. As she told the Charlotte Business Journal, she spent a lot of non-billable hours locating the best consignment shops in town for furniture before she opened her office doors. Maloney explains one of the benefits of having her own firm is "to have the flexibility to choose who I represented under what terms."
With her long and diverse experience and an extensive network of contacts in law and business, the small firm became a powerhouse. "My personal philosophy is simply to make a difference," she says. That's why she not only represents companies, but advises them on effective practices. That's why she insists on helping individual clients in ways that go beyond traditional notions of advocacy or litigation, whether that help involves providing emotional support or a job lead. Maloney says she has seen clients transformed "from emotionally battered and withdrawn to confident and outgoing as a result of their relationship with us. They say things like 'Thank you for believing in me.'"
For Maloney, belief in people, in their need to make their case, is what drives her. "In life and in the practice of law, I believe we should try to place ourselves in the shoes of the other person, knowing that we can only do so imperfectly." Following her ethics of empathy, she doesn't pretend every case, has a perfect ending. "You don't get cases as you want to find them," Maloney says. "You get them as they are."

I fight the urge to retaliate and just stay silent, finishing my conversation and continuing with my day.
OK, this lady is a jerk. I wasn't even making a scene, there was barely a beat missed! What is her problem, anyway? I try to remain calm, I close my trunk, get in my car and leave. We're walking through the grocery store and you would not believe it, I hear this woman AGAIN!
At this point I'm pretty close to just giving up on my day, and having a good cry on the way home and opening that bottle of wine a little early. What is happening? What horrible things to say about a person. I get home, get the baby inside, put her to bed, put my groceries away, cross off baby food from the list, go to the bathroom, look in the mirror and see the woman who has been yelling at me all day, staring back at me.
Maybe you guessed it along the way, or maybe not, but how many of us would be APPALLED at another human being treating us this way? When that voice is silent to the rest of the world though, for some reason it's a lot harder to drown out.
But it's not just in the mom arena that this woman speaks and accuses. It's when you just bought a new dress that you love and you get it home and try it on, only to find out it looks a LOT different. It's when you have a fight with your spouse and all you hear is this woman telling you that you will never be enough (or worse, too much). It's when it's raining, and the dog needs to go outside and the cat wants to come in, and you're trying to play music to calm the atmosphere but it's making it worse and you really wanted to call your sister but your laundry hasn't been done in a week and you see this woman sitting on your messy bed, just shaking her head in disapproval.
I hate this woman. I hate that she takes the form of me and tries to disguise herself as my own thoughts and my feelings toward myself. And I hate most of all the fact that I let myself believe her.
Things in life try to tell us that there are "___ of the year" awards. Mom of the year, co-worker, girlfriend, wife, sister, daughter . . . but life isn't always saying that we should be winning these awards; it's saying that we already haven't. That's got to be worse, right? We've got no shot, no opportunity, no seizing the moment, we can't capture it, and we've let it slip.
Yes. That was an Eminem reference, and I'm not sorry.
I'm not even trying to make one of those really loud, inspirational blogs that says, "We can't do this anymore, let's stand up for ourselves!" Because to be honest sometimes the effort of trying to be ANOTHER version of an emotional Wonder Woman is more tiring than the lies themselves. Some days, when that woman is just beating you up, and you feel broken, it doesn't help to say a bunch of inspiring words and get riled up.
Some days, all you can do for yourself is when you look in the mirror—just give yourself a little smile of understanding.
Because YOU know how she treats YOU. You know how she makes you feel. And it's hard, and emotionally draining and takes a lot of effort to shove her out of the mirror. So while you're working on it (me, I'm literally talking to myself), give yourself a pat on the back. Just look at that face as if it was your friend (ha, that's the dream right?) and just smile at that girl. Try to be nice to her for the rest of the day, remind her how pretty she is, how good of a job she's doing, how she's managing probably a lot more than most people realize and she's handling it like. a. boss. How her kids love her, her family is grateful for her, and she is perfect for the job she has.
It's usually the hardest to tell people the awful things you hear about yourself when they're coming from inside your own head. Because it feels like you're saying it, and if you actually say it out loud then it really looks like you're saying it. But you're not. It's not you, I promise. It's trash.
I'm not trying to tell you what you should believe about yourself because let's be honest we all know we shouldn't believe trash. I'm just saying that giving yourself some time to punch that lady in the face is sometimes what you need. And maybe a reminder in the meantime that there are other women in the world who are fighting their own mean, internal, psycho, rude ladies. And it's hard work, and we're all doing a good job, dangit!
I'm a wife of five years and momma to a fifteen month old girl. I love laughing, a good conversation and anything that stirs my spirit up.

piper and leo | destined to be together.
Which picture of Paige do you like better?
How many series are there of charmed?
I made this ícone and I forget what episode it is from. Could someone ID it for me? Thanks!
jovens bruxas is a show about three estranged sisters named Prue (Shannen Doherty), Piper (Holly Marie Combs), and Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) who discover they come from a long line of powerful witches and are known to evil as The jovens bruxas Ones. Despite being witches, they also have problems when it comes to love.
During its eight season run, the fantasy-drama "CHARMED" has occasionally featured an episode dealing with the topic of time travel. These time travel episodes usually prove to be well-written or exceptional. However, there comes a time when the series produced a time travel episode that end up being a dud. The series' Season Six episode, (6.11) "Witchstock" proved to be the latter.
Now I know a lot might not have noticed but as a huge fãs of both shows, I noticed that there a lot of similarities between the two shows.
1.both set siblings who fight the evil sobrenatural (demons/vampire/evil witches...).
2. both set of siblings save/protect people in the expense of their own lives.
3.both set of siblings lost their mothers at young age to the supernatural.
1. (2.12)"Awakened" - After purchasing illegal frutas from South America, Piper is infected with a deadly and rare disease called "Arroyo Fever". Prue and Phoebe use an "Awakening" spell to cure her, but the spell backfires with deadly results.
"CHARMED" RETROSPECT: (2.14) "Pardon My Past"
(2.14) "Pardon My Past" is an episode from Season Two of the TV series, "CHARMED" (1998-2006). In it, one of the jovens bruxas Ones – Phoebe Halliwell - is haunted por a spirit from her past life. The past life turned out to be one P. Russell, a first cousin of the Halliwell sisters' great-grandmother.
"CHARMED" RETROSPECT: (1.22) "Déjà Vu All Over Again"
When I first saw (1.22) "Déjà Vu All Over Again", the Season One finale for "CHARMED", I promised myself that I would never watch another episode of the series again. Never. Yet four months later, I broke my promise and resumed watching the series for another three-and-a-half seasons.
Phoebe Halliwell: We're the protectors of the innocent, we're known as the jovens bruxas Ones.
Phoebe Halliwell: I never touched Roger.
Piper Halliwell: It doesn't matter because nothing happened... Right, Phoebe?... when you did the incantation?
Phoebe Halliwell: Well, my head spun around, and I vomited dividido, dividir ervilha soup. How should I know?
(6.17) "Hyde School Reunion" is an episode from Season Six of the TV series, "CHARMED" (1998-2006). It is viewed as controversial por many fãs of the show. I wish I could say that its controversy revolved around any innovative storytelling. I wish I could say this . . . but I cannot. Because "Hyde School Reunion" is without a doubt one of the worst "CHARMED" episodes to air on television.
This artigo is for fãs of the ONE AND ONLY TRUE jovens bruxas like myself about our favorito show.
a pop quiz question foi adicionado: Who was the first sister to be turned into something?
a pop quiz question foi adicionado: Who said this line: I'm sorry. I didn't get that last platitude.
a pop quiz question foi adicionado: Who said this: That's a good reason, I guess.
Who told Leo that being on the side of The jovens bruxas Ones was what was best for him?

The process of determining how best to transfer stewardship of key internet technical functions from the US Government to the international community began Monday during ICANN's 49th public meeting in Singapore and be accessible to as many as possible. ICANN President and CEO Fadi Chehadé said information will be available in all six United Nations languages plus Portuguese as well as for people with accessibility issues.
This was important, Chehadé said, so as many people as possible from as many parts of the world could participate in the consultation process.
Discussions on the transfer of stewardship were driven by the recent announcement from the United States Government.
But the consultation process has not yet been clearly defined with concerns being raised about the clarity of how it will take place. Explaining this, Chehadé noted, a memo will be coming out on 7 April to explain more.
But when asked what the timeline was, Chehadé was non-committal, saying that the security, stability and resiliency of the internet were more important. Further, Chehadé reiterated the NTIA's recent comments that said no transfer would take place unless the IS Government were satisfied there would be no detrimental impacts on the internet. However Chehadé said that September 2015, the end date for the current IANA contract is what the organisation is working towards. But if it is not ready to happen, ICANN will ask for an extension of their contract.
"I would like to congratulate ICANN for successfully setting up two regional hubs last year, one in Istanbul, Turkey, and the other here in Singapore," said Dr. Yaacob Ibrahim, Singapore's Minister for Communications and Information. "It underscores ICANN's commitment to serve the global community. and I believe that Asia-Pacific hub in Singapore will be a great vehicle for ICANN to reach out to the region.


I was wondering if anyone knows what legally an old employer can say when a new employer or potential new employer calls to do a refrence check. i have been trying to get a job but have no luck and i think it has something to do with my last job and how i was wrongfully let go for something i did not do. does anyone have any advice?
There are no specific laws about this. The employer is free to tell the truth as they see it.
Wrongful termination has a specific meaning under the law and does not mean you were terminated for something you feel is unjust or didnt do.
Wrongful termination is being terminated specifically because of a protected characteristic such as gender, race, age, religion, national origin etc.
Yes, but my question is that if my old employer just does not like me and is going around saying bad things how do i protect myself and get a new job?
First of all, do you know that the employer is saying something bad about you or do you just think that?
Let me give one of my experiences. We were party to a lawsuit by a former employees. One of the things she alledged was that we were keeping her from finding other employment by giving out negative information about her.
When the details of the suit arrived, none of the companies that we were supposed to have given negative information to had ever even called us about her. I know because I do all the verifications and I keep a log.
I dont know why she wasnt getting hired elsewhere but there are thousands of reasons why people dont get jobs that have nothing to do with negative info by a former employee.
If you know for certain that negative information was given out, thats another issue.

Arianespace To Launch ISRO's GSAT-11 And KARI's GEO-KOMPSAT-2A In December 2018
Ariane 5 launch site; Credits: Arianespace
Arianespace will carry out a Launch Readiness Review (LRR) at the Guiana Space Centre on 3 December 2018 of the Ariane 5 satellite launch vehicle that will loft the Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) GSAT-11 communications satellite and the Korean Aerospace Research Institute's GEO-KOMPSAT-2A meteorological satellite, and so authorize the start of operations for the final launch countdown.
To be installed as Ariane 5's upper passenger, GSAT-11 is a telecommunication satellite designed and manufactured by ISRO that will be positioned at 74 degrees East. GSAT-11 is ISRO's largest and heaviest communication satellite ever and is configured on its next-generation I-6K structure to provide communications services from geostationary orbit in Ku- and Ka-bands in both forward and return links.
Offering a multi-spot beam coverage over the Indian mainland and nearby islands, GSAT-11 will bring significant advantages to users when compared with existing INSAT/GSAT satellite systems. Its designed lifetime is more than 15 years.
With two of ISRO's additional satellites remaining in Arianespace's order book (GSAT-31 and GSAT-30), the launch of GSAT-11 is to be another vivid demonstration of the strong bond uniting Europe and India in space cooperation.
The GEO-KOMPSAT-2 satellite is a national programme of the South Korean government to develop and operate two civilian geostationary satellites, GEO-KOMPSAT-2A and -2B.
Positioned on Ariane 5 as Flight VA246's lower passenger, GEO-KOMPSAT-2A is designed to conduct meteorological and space weather monitoring missions whereas GEO-KOMPSAT-2B is to carry out Earth environment monitoring and ocean monitoring missions.
Covering the Asia-Pacific region, this weather satellite will be stationed at the 128.2 degrees East orbital location for a 10-year nominal life in service. Developed by KARI at its facility in Daejon, South Korea, GEO-KOMPSAT-2A will be KARI's second satellite, and the seventh for South Korea to be lofted by Arianespace.
Prior to Flight VA246, Arianespace has orbited 588 satellites, out of which 115 were launched for eight space agencies around the world (Europe, France, Italy, Sweden, U.S., India, South Korea, and Japan).
GSAT-11 and GEO-KOMPSAT-2A will be the 589th and 590th satellites to be orbited by Arianespace respectively.

Circa Waves + Sundara Karma + The Academic at The Institute, Birmingham, UK – 16th October 2015
Posted by Bianca on Friday Oct 16, 2015 Under Indie, Rock
Gig review by Zak Edwards with Photography by Bianca Barrett
Last time Gig Junkies caught up with modern day Mersey Beaters Circa Waves it was down on the glorious Cornwall Coast basking in the sun at Boardmasters Festival. Their upbeat indie pop sound coming across perfectly in the summer sun to the backdrop of the Ocean waves. I was therefore interested to see how their upbeat act transcended on a dark chilly Friday night at Birmingham's Institute.
First up, from Ireland, The Academic – a really lively opening act and certainly one to look out for in the future. The fact that I've got pants older than this lot tells you a lot about the age of the band (and how long I tend to keep hold of my underwear) but that mattered not a jot. Reminiscent of a young Catfish and the Bottlemen in terms of musical direction, the young boys were polished, melodically and harmoniously great and with their fast paced indie pop, are certainly a band we'll hear about in the future.
Sundara Karma were the second band up and for me were a little more style over substance. I've never seen a support act with such an impressive array of kit for example. There were pristine Orange Amps everywhere. It's not that they were bad, far from it, a number of their tunes such as 'Loveblood' and 'Flame' were decent. I just think if they paid a little more attention to how they sounded rather than how their hair looked, they'd be a more impressive live act.
Described as indie pin ups by many, it was easy to see Circa Waves appeal as they made their way on to the stage with their boyish good looks – much to the adulation of the largely female teenage crowd.
Opening up proceedings with 'Young Chasers', this high tempo poppy number set the bench mark for the Liverpudlians and very much the tone for the evening as the went on to plough through one catchy three minute pop song after another – much to the delight of the wanton crowd.
Amidst cries of 'Circa Circa' from the crowd, lead singer Kieran greeted every tier of the audience. A brief commotion occurred during 'Fossils' when someone set off a flare in the seats to the amusement of the singer who labelled the offender as a "nutter!" The four piece went from strength to strength being aided and abetted by the partisan crowd who joined in with massive sing alongs to fan favourites 'Fossils' and 'Stuck in my Teeth'.
One trick pony is a criticism that's been levied at the band of late and whilst there is a certain amount of validity in the statement, I feel it's a little unfair. Yes, their songs are similar and yes, there is a certain amount of repetition, but it's a formula that works and as you look round at all the smiley faces and bobbing heads, you can forgive them for not moving away from what they do best so early on in their musical journey.
One thing that stood out for me was the infectious energy that Circa Waves bring to the whole set, we're talking about 100% energy throughout! The brummy audience did a great job bringing that energy off stage. The whole place was a buzz!
'101' and the splendid 'T Shirt Weather' provided the fitting finale and then it was off to the O2 Academy for the band to perform a DJ set for more of their fans. Splendid stuff boys. Brum looks forward to seeing you soon!

New Manchester festival to be 'world beater'
AN international festival in Manchester could lead the world in breaking new work by A-list artists, claims its new director. The three-week feast of live performances, shows and exhibitions will start in 2007 and will rival the likes of Edinburgh in cost and scope.

AN international festival in Manchester could lead the world in showcasing pioneering work by A-list artists, claims its new director.
The three-week feast of live performances, shows and exhibitions will start in 2007 and rival Edinburgh in cost and scope.
The Manchester Evening News revealed in January how the city council was putting up 40 per cent of a é5m budget for the two-yearly festival - a huge investment reflecting the level of ambition.
Alex Poots, director of contemporary arts at the English National Opera, was confirmed last week as the festival's first director.
"If we do our job right, as a team and as a city, this will have its place alongside the great festivals," he told the M.E.N.
"We are looking at very high quality artists from around the world - and by that I also mean Manchester and the north west. We want new commissions and new work. Artists around the world need somewhere to do that and I don't think it is happening at the moment.
"It is important the festival grows out of what Manchester is. In the past 15 years there has been a real confidence and belief in the city.
"Edinburgh was set up after the war as an ambitious way of trying to reunite Europe through the arts. That is not the way the world is now and not what we are trying to do."
Mr Poots is currently working on a series of short mini-festivals in 2006 to give the city a taste of what to expect in 2007. His vision of forging Manchester's future from its past fits entirely with the new city brand of "original modern" dreamed up by Factory Records art chief Peter Saville.
The council believes the Manchester International Festival could bring in up to é34m a year.
Visitor numbers are expected to top 150,000 in the first year, rising to 270,000 on later occasions. Much of the budget - just é2.2m less than Edinburgh's - is expected to come from the private sector.
Richard Leese, leader of the council, said: "We are delighted to welcome Alex Poots to this post. He will shape the festival and head up a team of creative and talented people to deliver this unique event to Manchester."

I bought Cassie and received her in May. By July I received Hana (in need of some major love. She had a bad haircut and was gritty all over from being sanded while still assembled, etc) I am still working on Hana's reroot, and I knew that once I had Riley it would be harder to find time to work on my dolls; especially since I was not good about consistantly working on Hana while pregnant. For my birthday, I wanted another doll, and my mom and my husband offered to go in together to get me Yula. I had plans for my next custom, but could not justify having another doll in pieces.
Yula was a good compromise. She has the black hair that I would have rerooted myself on a bait doll, but she wasn't much more than buying a doll in pieces (I checked out many options) So I won Yula on ebay and then purchased new chips, a sanding sponge, (what I thought was...) purple saran, and intended to paint her lips.
