Do you think Lawrence is one of the 100 best communities for young people?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on September 27, 2005
"Absolutely, because of the great downtown, local businesses and the university."
"I would say that it is, if you like to go out. We have a good downtown area, but that's about it."
"Yes. It's just wonderful. It's open and diverse. People can learn and grow. It's a place where people can really express themselves."
"Yes. It has a good nightlife scene. I think the student community makes it a lot more fun for young people."

Lulu 12 years, 4 months ago
Lawrence is a wonderful city for youth. Why just yesterday I met some youths that have been staying in Lawrence all summer. They told me they liked Lawrence because it is progressive and the people tolerated their way of life.
Though these kids were in their mid to late teens, they felt safe living downtown. The three I spoke with were on a walkabout across the country. I did feel a little sorry for them because their normal winter home down south had been ravaged by the Bush hurricanes. They were to embark on a journey to Arizona.
To be young again!
trinity 12 years, 4 months ago
oh. dear. god. "Bush hurricanes"??? i'm-i'm-i'm just at a loss.
so, what comes with the designation of being a top 100 place for youth? money? prestige? oh wait i have it-pompous arrogance!
i find it just wicked amusing that the people on the street seemed to have not understood the question at all! i've come to realize that my now-grown children missed out by living in a smallish town that they could play outside all over the neighborhood in relative safety, walk to the movies by themselves, have backyard tent slumber parties, rollerblade in the street...they're gonna feel so cheated if they find out i should have brought them to lawrence so they could experience nightlife! heh...
KsjKC 12 years, 4 months ago
Children aren't banned in Lawrence per se'--but if you see a minor sitting near a restaurant with a Marlboro and a Motorola---Yikes. No intelligent design for that trouble-maker, just the natural evolution of what happens in prison...
I'm not sure some of the "on-the-street" respondents really got the question. I know that when my kids attended the really fantastic head-start downtown, we often hung out near the Granada on Friday nights so my pre-schoolers could soak up some nightlife...
enochville 12 years, 4 months ago
It depends on your criteria for best community for young people. The article seem to define young people as pre-high school graduate, yet the "On the Street" responders talked about the nightlife and "going out". I don't see an abundance of bars as particularly good for teens and pre-teens. The article focused on social services as well, which I feel is good and important, but what I feel is most important is things for young people to do.
I am glad we have the Art Center, two public swimming pools, two bowling alleys, a lazer tag place, a skate park, frisbee golf park, several baseball and soccer fields, basketball courts, museums, the Lied Center, Allen Fieldhouse and two movie theatres. I've heard that there is a miniture golf place on K10 just east of town. These things show that we value young people. When they have lots of options for a weekend night, it is less likely that they'll get into trouble by being bored.
bankboy119 12 years, 4 months ago
The Bush hurricanes? Yes President Bush hand made the hurricanes to take out New Orleans and the bastion of evil there and his home state to get more funding for Texas. His next target is going to now be Lawrence, Kansas with man made tornadoes so intelligent design can be taught without question. That and because we have uncovered his sinister plot.

Oh yeah I kind of forgot to answer the question didn't I...well let's see I grew up in Lawrence and um...no it definitely is not kid friendly at all. Putt-putt closed down, along with the skating rink. Lazer tag was cool in junior high and is now gone actually. The pool is always so ridiculously crowded as soon as my friends and I could drive we went out to Bloomington beach. I will say I have finally moved out of that wretched town about a month ago and I could not be happier. Oh and quality of the schools and all of the restrictions they have on the kids, horrible. I for one will definitely make sure my child never has to live in such a pathetic place.

hawkrew 12 years, 4 months ago
I don't think that the people on the street had access to the article before they made their comments. Since they seem to all be post bacculate and older, except one, they might have considered youth to be late teens or maybe even early twenties. But anyways, there is a putt putt off of K-10 about five minutes out of town. Lawrence seems to have the same stuff to do that anywhere else has, along with easy access to a lake, which is always a hangout for kids that grow up by one.
craigers 12 years, 4 months ago
I do like Rich's plug for the overpriced downtown merchants. I am wavering on this question. I wil have to agree with bankboy about the skating rink, laser tag, and definitly the putt-putt. Man I loved sinking that hole-in-one when my color of ball was lit up. If anybody else remembers what I am talking about, let's hear it. I got an autograph from Danny Manning at that place on one of their little tickets. He was so tall to me when I was 4 foot 8 inches.(That was an approximation) And they also had batting cages. Now it is Douglas County Bank, what's up with that?
Bankboy be reminded that Lulu's posts are never sane.
Ragingbear 12 years, 4 months ago
I moved to this city about 4 years ago, and fell in love with it almost instantly. Sure, it has it's problems, and it's issues. But what town doesn't?
There is a signifigant amount of diversity,and tolerance for said diversity. Such an environment is healthy for young people of all ages. Whether they are 12, and wondering how people of different religions, different states, or different countries live, or 21 and want to have deep philosophical discussions with people who have lived in a theocratic empire. Throw in a few anarchist to tell them that no law is the best law, and that young person then doesn't have the feeling that they are missing out on something, they got it all.
Yeah, we need to cater more to today's youth. More skate parks, more and better after-school programs, more activities that will keep them occupied, stimulated, and entertained. But I feel that things here could be a lot worse.
If Lawrence is on the top 100, I would have to say that it is probably down in the 60's on this front. But when you measure that out, 60-something is still pretty damn good.

italianprincess 12 years, 4 months ago
I for one am glad I moved my boys here from Cali. Now the big decision next Feb is to decide to move back. My mom is selling her home here and the family want us to come back with her.
My oldest has had a great life here and I do believe he plans on staying after graduating. He will most likely continue working at the bank while attending KU.
My youngest is doing so awesome at his new school and really wants to stay. Hes eight now and of course doesn't want to leave his new friends.
Raising my boys here instead of in Cali has been a good thing. I think that raising them here instead of in Cali has made them better kids. Not saying Cali is a bad place, I was born and raised there myself. I'm just happy that we moved here so that they weren't subjected to the gang life out there. Gangs are everywhere in Cali and kids are easily influenced. I'm sure there are gangs here in Lawrence, but you just don't see them walking in massive groups.
To me Lawrence is a good place to raise kids. Family vs staying here where I and my kids now have friends is one hard decision to think about. Whats the old saying.......Blood is thicker then water.

IP I think there are just kids who think they are thugs. That's what I saw going to school here all my life. The trouble was when the gangs came here from KC and T-Town and somebody got shot in Holcom(b) park...and I know there are more examples but that just happened to be where I played baseball at. Which by the way the rec sports leagues and falling apart too so we can spend $50k+ on saw blades and basket ball hoops we call art.
John1945 12 years, 4 months ago
Lawrence is a good town (not a great town, but a good town) for restaurants and I love some of the small shops like Love Garden on Mass Street. Unfortunately, a lot of that is disappearing and Lawrence is becoming a bedroom community for Topeka. To that extent it is losing its college town charm.
However, it is a horrible town for children. It is one thing to explore ideas when you're a college student and see which ones make sense to you, it is quite another thing to use children as research rats while they're growing up.
The thought that children would grow up in what has become such a hateful environment is also troubling.
My vote is no. Lawrence no longer has the charm it used to have.
Lulu 12 years, 4 months ago
The Bush Hurricanes is a theory to extrapolate on something the honorable Louis Farrakhan said recently regarding Bush blowing up the levees.
The weather modification technology is there to create hurricanes, and it wouldn't surprise me if Bush caused the hurricanes like he created 9/11 for his friends in Saudi Arabia.
Is Lawrence still going to legalize pot anytime soon? That will be great in removing the stigma of the negativity towards those who partake in the hannabis and make Lawrence an even better place.

All three of my children grew up here in Lawrence. The atmosphere for young people (under 18) has been going downhill for the last 15 or 20 years. As mentioned above, so many of the safe, fun, and inexpensive places for family activities have gone the way of commerce. The land would be more profitable as just about anything not related to the family. Since I have not been to all 99 of the other cities listed, I do not know if Lawrence should be mentioned. I do know that it is a mere shadow of what it once was in the area of providing a rounded community life for youngsters.
btw, I couldn't help but notice that Rich (being a downtown business owner himself) could not resist putting in a plug.
IP: Bummer of a decision. My mother would also like me to move closer to her but my children and grandchildren are here. I agree blood is thicker, but for me no blood is thicker than mine with all my younguns. Your situation is not the same but I am confident that you will make the right decision when the time comes. Just keep the ljworld.com in your bookmarks so that we don't lose you to some rowdy CA crowd :)

Oh, yes, Lawrence is one of the best communities for young people. Great youth programs, EXCELLENT schools (Damn proud to say we're the ONLY proponents of EVOLUTION in the state of Kansas).

SteelHorseRider 12 years, 4 months ago
You've got to "love" the liberal way we've raced into the future for those of you who remember skating rink and putt-putt. Oh those were the days my friends. Now Lawrence encourages kids in the teenage range to try to grow up too fast.
BTW - KsjKC - loved the "smart hail" comment. Funny stuff. Thanks for making my day.
rhd99 12 years, 4 months ago
Although, if we're talking about the people in their mid 20s-30s, Lawrence does SUCK because the JOBS are not here, that's for sure. There is NO economic base for the high paying jobs, unless you talk about East Hills. That park is a miracle in of itself.

acg 12 years, 4 months ago
You guys remember the dance club for kids? It was the Power Plant and then Pizazz? I loved that place. There was a lot of stuff for kids to do when we first came here. There were several bowling alleys, the putt putt course, the skating rink, Alladin's Castle arcade, etc. Now they hang out on Mass outside of the bars. No I don't think there's nearly enough for the young'uns to do. We take away all of their activities and then wonder why they run the streets being little hooligans. Speaking of kids, four days overdue now and still no baby. Any ideas ladies of the board? If this kid doesn't come out of me soon I just may kill people.
brfts 12 years, 4 months ago
Lawrence could've been the best town for young adults but this was 15-20 years ago. If you ask me, I think this town is getting crowded with JoCo soccer moms driving their Suvs. It's sad to see all the strip malls and cookie cutter housing thats becoming more common around town. Also, I think the Lawrence political climate is getting just a little bit too conservative for me. Pretty soon Lawrence will be just another boring college town like Lincoln, NE, which is a shame because it's the only livable place left in Kansas.
rhd99 12 years, 4 months ago
brfts, don't forget that in addition to boring, WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. Lawrence, for whatever reason has done NOTHING to make housing affordable, let alone rentable (price wise for appartments). That project next to Borders is a prime example of out of control prices. $300K for a CONDO, that sure is going to drive up housing costs & RIDICULOUS rent rates through the roof. It is a shame, but it's the hard cold reality that people don't want to accept.
hawkrew 12 years, 4 months ago
Hey, a lot of fresh out of college students who are lucky enough to find a job buy those cookie cutter houses. They're not the end of the world. They can't afford to custom build a house and renting is just a waste of money...but then again what do I know?

bankboy119 12 years, 4 months ago
TOB you're right about the skating rink....it wouldn't last now. It doesn't necessarily have to be a putt-putt either but at least something for the kids. They do run the streets like hooligans.
What my friends did in junior high and high school because there was nothing better to do.
Buy burritos from Border Bandito and throw them at an oncoming car to see it splat all over the window.
Steal yard art.
Hide in bushes and throw water balloons at cars that go by.
Call the cops on parties that the other high school was throwing and drinking at and then get mad when the kids at the other school did the same thing to us.
Sneak into movies when the theater was in decent shape.
Throw eggs at the skaters in the skate park.
Hang out in a field and drink.
Drive down a street and have some one hang out a window with a baseball bat and bash mailboxes.
At a rival high school game sling feces down the hallway of the rival school.
Play sports.
italianprincess 12 years, 4 months ago
acg--------go for a long walk daily. Believe me it works wonders.
How long has the skating rink and the mini golf been gone? There really isn't much entertainment here for the younger ones: Castle Park or Camelot ( Cali ) where we used to go as kids. They had everything at Camelot: arcade, mini golf, bumper cars, water park, big trampoline, and more.
It would be nice to see something like this built here in Lawrence.
lunacydetector 12 years, 4 months ago
i think the skating rink was condemned by the city so wal-mart could have an access road and kohl's could get built, and i heard the putt-putt was foreclosed on by a bank so the bank could build a new building there -though i might be wrong.
kansaskev61 12 years, 4 months ago
Lawrence is a great place to grow up. It's where I received a totally liberal education. I can now spout liberal rhetoric, adopt a Socialist lifestyle while paying my fair share of high taxes (most without representation) plus a large percentage of the taxes owed by the "unfortunates" of Lawrence. I can guzzle gas while sitting in traffic and grow dizzy in the roundabouts. I can hope that soon I'll be able to lite up a joint and smoke freely along Mass St or while watching the frogs in the Baker Wetlands. I can't recycle at Walmart, but can embrace the fact that I may or may not have come from either god or ape and know that I am better than anybody else because I am from Lawrence and I attended KU. To be a liberal elite, that's the greatest legacy for any child. Lawrence is a great place to be young because, darn it, Boog say's it is!
beatrice 12 years, 4 months ago
I know I have covered this before, but I'll state it again: Not enough theaters! We should have a putt-putt golf next door to a drive-in theater. Now that would say "we have arrived!"
Johnnyboy: "The thought that children would grow up in what has become such a hateful environment is also troubling." This coming from the guy who last week compared the Democratic party to Hitler's Third Reich. Before commenting on the troubles of a hateful environment, might I suggest you consider your own behavior and how much you personally contribute to said environment -- or are you just too busy torturing puppies to consider your personal role in spreading hate?

Blue the problem with those are that....none of us were interested in the arts at all. We took art classes when we were required but that was about it. Lawrence doesn't have good things for kids to do in the evenings once sports are over. Not something EVERY day but just SOMETHING. Right now there is nothing for some one that isn't into the arts and nature.

drive-in theater was a bust. out on 6th street where sonic, some apartments, the lazer is now.
one thing for sure though, lawrence needs a nice AMC type theater with actual leg room. i'm surprised 6" of leg room theater seating got approved. that place by the incomplete SLT is like a sardine can.
go to an AMC theater in k.c. to see how a REAL theater is designed.

beatrice, I heard that we might get another drive-in movie theater around here. Maybe right outside of Lawrence or something like that. It could have been just speculation from my friends, but that is what I heard. It is possible.
hawkrew 12 years, 4 months ago
The problem with a brand new theatre in Lawrence would be the arm and a leg price you would have to pay to get in. I think that its like $6.25 for a student right now at Hollywood if I am not mistaken and that's bad enough. But when I have to drop $30 to take my wife and maybe get some popcorn...I just can't justify going.
hawkrew 12 years, 4 months ago
I was addressing a new theatre possibility, not the drive-in, which would be sweet if I could afford to drive to it.
Carmenilla 12 years, 4 months ago
We frequent drive-ins in KCMO...Our favorite, The Boulevard, just closed for the season due to flooding.
Back to the question, YES, Lawrence is a great place for young people. We have so many parks and open areas for children to play. There are multiple swimming facilities. The Arts Center, Prairie Park Nature Center are a only a couple of places to go with your child.
I remember the days of Planet Pinball and even Putt-Putt and the roller rink. They were really struggling at the end. No one was frequenting these places. With home video game systems, the arcade has become obsolete. And personally, I prefer activities that don't cost a lot. Or are free. Do we need to spend money to have fun?
Yes, this town is not perfect. But it offers a safe and friendly environment for our kids to enjoy. Our daughter can walk down the block to play with her friends and we don't worry too much. There are so many good people here.
You would never know that there are good people here though when you read some of the comments on this board. When you contribute only negativity you are only going to get it back tenfold. Some of these posters need to seriously re-evaluate what they are contributing with their hatred and vitriole and sarcasm. What a sad bunch of hateful lonely people you must be.....And it if you hate this place so much what keeps you here? This isn't a rhetorical question and I'm not saying "love it or leave it". Seriously though, if its so bad why do you stay?
Carmenilla 12 years, 4 months ago
And thats maybe the reason they post....To let everyone know how miserable they are, I guess. Heck compared to you folks down south we are living in a paradise. Just talked to my Texas cousins. They are going back to Houston in a couple of days. How scary it must have been for them to be displaced with an infant and another on the way! Glad you are well, OMB.
I was gone for a bit and am glad to be back. The last leg of my vacation was spent in NYC. Lawrence has never looked (or smelled) more appealing comparatively!
Carmenilla 12 years, 4 months ago
blue73harley, the Boulevard may not come back due to this rash of bad flooding. But when it is up and running its a glorious co-mingling of all kinds of folks. Most are there with the kids and a contraband cooler of brewskies. I have never EVER seen anything I would consider to be "rough" go on there. And I'm one of those lily-livered, pollyanna, liberal types....
Oh sorry, I was stereotyping again.

I might actually walk in a movie theater if I knew it wasn't costing $8 to go inside, spend $15 on popcorn and soda then to be stuck listening to people talk or watch kids make out during the movies!!

Topside 12 years, 4 months ago
nlf78, don't forget all the surgeons that are on call in movie theaters nowadays. I have yet to go to a movie in the last 5 years where some self-important slugs' phone didn't go off. And it's not like they just forgot to turn it off either. I have seen people look at their phone for at least 3 rings so they can check the caller ID. Hey JerK, just pick it up! What can be so important that you need to talk in the middle of a movie? Other than being on-call for surgery as I mentioned above.
PS- Have you ever been to a movie where the Usher actually interrupts and tells someone they have a phone call? Nice. And, it's always for some loser kid too. "Is there a Chauncey Rothbottom here?...Call your mom!" They are reluctant to tell you if there is a Tornado outside but please Nerdo, call home.

Because taxes are too high, I would say no. Lawrence used to be a real nice place to live when the population was closer to 25,000 instead of what it is today and the city was not abusing it's authority given by the people by banning everything to become a global politically correct city. It is getting to be like another big city that has lost that small to medium city appeal and wages are as usual, subpar overall except for KU.
Ceallach 12 years, 4 months ago
Topside: you are so right regarding tornado warnings in theatres. I was in the Cinema Twin, watching "Clash of the Titans," when a tornado hit K-Mart (killing one man). I'm sure it was to avoid panic, ushers came in, shined flashlights on the ceiling, and told us the storm had knocked out the power but they expected it back on shortly. Later we were told that while the storm had passed we were requested to slowly leave the building. We came out to sirens, ambulances, total chaos on the South side of town due to tornado and large hail damage. For the youngsters :) Cinema Twin was located just South of K-Mart.
Although, I don't recall anyone receiving a telephone message either :)
oldfashiongirl 12 years, 4 months ago
You answered my question as to whether I would ever live in Lawrence. Back in 1944 if I had answered "yes" to a proposal I would have moved there and raised a house full of towheaded little Swedes. Instead I moved to Europe and raised 2 towheaded Dutch children.
Are there no churches there? My whole life was spent attending youth activities at church, going to Sunday School, attending worship services, singing in the choir, going on hayrides, weiner roasts, watermelon parties, ice cream socials, and on and on. My current church is open from 7 to 7 and other times if there is a particular event going on. Always a lot of things for kids to do.
I've never drunk a drop of liquor in my life, smoked cigarettes or pot, went to dances, or followed foolish youths who particularly liked to overthrow outdoor johns, as we lived in the country. We visited the elderly in nursing homes and ran errands for those who lived alone. It was a very satisfying life!
To LJWorld: I have scanned all the many topics you have on your Web page and cannot find a listing of churches. Are there any Southern Baptist churches? Any churches at all? I wouldn't want to live there if there weren't any.

I was born in Lawrence. I thought it perfect to grow up in and now am anxious to get away.
That's kind of backwards, I suppose.

One of the following benign messages might be displayed in the Maintenance_Update_log in the /var/sadm/install_data directory:
One or more patch packages included in XXXXXX-YY are not installed on this system. Patchadd is terminating.
Installation of XXXXXX-YY failed: Attempting to patch a package that is not installed.
These messages indicate patchadd could not find on your system any of the packages that patchadd intended to patch, so patchadd skipped the indicated patch.
The message is displayed when patchadd notices a discrepancy while installing a patch of one architecture onto a system with a different architecture. For example, a sun4u patch on a sun4m system.
This message might also be the result of one or more missing packages. The package might have been removed by the administrator, or never installed, for example, if a cluster that was smaller than the Entire Distribution was installed.
Workaround: Ignore the message.

From setting up your office and training your staff to planning your newest business venture, our team has a wealth of knowledge that, in the end, can save you countless hours of frustration and money.
All jobs are quoted and done on a project basis. Each quote will contain the scope of work to be done as well as a timeline from start to finish.
Each client is interviewed to discover and discuss the various details of the request and to review the job's requirements and concerns. The interview is also a perfect opportunity to assess the known and unknown options that may or may not be desired.
The interview is specific to the particular needs and desires and no two sites are ever the same, each is unique to the specific requirements and goals.
The object of the interview is to review the website's outline in regards to the navigation, content, presentation and overall function. During the interview each component and element are reviewed and discussed to insure the job will be completed as expected.
The navigation, links and content are all very important and how it is organized and presented will have a great impact on its success and performance. Other concerns are also important such as the use of color and graphics.
During the interview you meet with and discusses all the various aspects of the site with the designer that will be doing the actual work not some salesman that will be the go between. This helps things move along much better and you get the answers you desire instead of having to settle for let me get back to you on this or I will have to check.
You meet and communicate directly with the person working on your site. Direct and simple, the designer and you work jointly and is there to answer any question or concern you may have over the course of the project.
Once the project has be clearly defined so that both the you and designer understand what is expected and to be done a formal quote and timeline is presented for your review and acceptance.
The timeline outlined in the quote will describe what is expected of both you and the designer. This will include what items and information need to be supplied from you. A timeline that will state the overall time frame of the project and when it is to be completed will also be defined in the quote and will address when you and the web designer are to meet to review and discuss the project's progress as well as any other details that are crucial to the project's completion. Typically you and the designer will meet at least 3 times over the course of the site's development as well as communicating on the phone and via email.
The typical time frame for a project is 30 to 45 days. Granted other projects take longer or are done in phases. The timeline is very important and necessary to keep the project on track and on time.
Once the quote is accepted a deposit is required in order for project to begin and go into production. The deposit is 50% down and the remaining 50% on completion. Project completion is defined as when the site is live and hosted under your domain.
After the site is complete the you can retain the designer's service on a monthly rate. Pricing is specific to your individual needs and requirements and is at an agreed flat rate with any additional services needed at an agreed hourly rate.
Monthly services could include updating the sites content, adding further content to the site and most importantly taking care of any SEO work the website may need to increase the site's performance and exposure. Other efforts may include marketing and promotions.
Having someone to maintain your site is important and commonly overlooked by many. If you are expecting your site to help your business and promote your services you should seriously consider retaining the designer so your site can continue to work for you. Keeping your site fresh and up to date will not happen on its own. You can try to do it yourself but are you really going to do that and are you really knowledgeable enough to do it correctly? Chances are the answer is no and as Red Adair was quoted saying

Hamptons Ratings and Reviews
An absolutely wonderful dining experience! The service was exceptional and our meals were outstanding! We were celebrating my husbands birthday, they made it extra special with a personalized happy birthday message on our menus, and a visit by the chef. Thank you Hamptons for a very special evening.
We invited friends to dine with us that have not been to Sumter's downtown in 13 years. They were astonished with the changes and quickly fell in love with Hamptons. They continuously complimented on the quality of the food, from the perfect prime rib to the light and delightful Carolina shrimp with pasta. Our friends commented " it's well worth the drive from Charlotte ".
As always, Hamptons was a wonderful dining experience that didn't disappoint. There were 7 of us and we all thoroughly enjoyed our dishes. My roasted eggplant ravioli was AMAZING, I will be getting that again. Impecccable service and delicious, creative dishes make Hamptons beyond reproach.
Our table of 4 had fish and steaks and everyone was happy. Ladies raved about the Australian Bass and short-rib ravioli starter. Good wine selection, a little pricey in the by-the-glass section. Wish we had saved room for dessert, they looked great passing our table.
We were expecting a nice, quiet and romantic dinner for our anniversary, boy were we wrong. There was an extremely loud table a few tables back from us and we heard more of their conversation than we could our own. The food was good, but we probably won't be back.
I am my wife are foodies coming from the NYC Tri-state area. We have visited many restaurants over the years and actually take pride in scoring different cuisines. We must say that the chef at the Hamptons is awesome because the food was incredible. We will be back!
Taking my husband to Hampton's for his birthday has become somewhat of a tradition. He likes coming here for this occasion, and I don't mind taking him, but I just wish that their servers were more friendly and accommodating. Each time I've been there I've never felt like my presence was valued or appreciated. Yes, they did their job and they were friendly enough, but it wasn't the type of service I expect from a fine dining establishment.
An unexpected treat! We expected a good dinner from the on-line reviews, but the reality exceeded our expectations. Who would have thought to find such a sophisticated meal in Sumter! Everything from the wine list (moderate in size, but with excellent selections at all price levels) to the espresso, was top notch. My wife's a gourmet cook and was impressed with the skill with which her chicken with veal sauce & vegetables mixed flavors. This was also true of the vegetables & rice with my grouper, though the fish itself could have used a little more flavor. The dessert selection was tempting, but we had to resist this time. Not a big crowd on this pre-holiday Friday night, but this made for a nice, quiet evening. And the service was excellent - knowledgeable, attentive and friendly.
Not cheap, but worth it. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town.
I've always enjoyed the menu selections. Probably the most exciting thing about the menu menu is that I find every bite to be a different taste sensation. Presentation was beautiful. But there were so many different little flavor nuances to the items that it is really a treat. The chef does an excellent job of exciting the pallet. My most recent visit I ordered the pork chop and it was without a doubt one of the best restaurant meals I have ever had. My husband, a meat and potatoes guy, had a filet and he was in heaven. A great bottle of wine, and good friends made the evening very nice. The restaurant is not large, so make reservations. Dress was better casual but no jacket required.
Aimee provided excellent service. She was very friendly and helpful in us making a decision on menu choices. She was right. All the staff that we interacted with displayed wonderful customer service. My wife put your location on her Facebook page. We will be back with family and friends in the near future.
Brunch was amazing from the food to the service. It was hard to decide on what to order because everything looked so good. I went with the chicken tinga rancheros with corn tortillas, poached egg, local corn, onions, peppers, pico de galllo and lime crema it made me feel like I was in Austin, Texas. My husband had the fried quail, homestyle gravy and grits. We are never able to pass up on the blueberry pancakes; we had those for dessert. Great job Hamptons!
My wife and I have eaten here several times over the years. Unfortunately it seems to have gone down hill a bit lately. The last few times we have been there, the place has been empty. On Saturday night the starters and entrees were excellent. However, the tonic in my gin and tonic was flat and the after dinner coffee was weak. The wait staff was friendly and attentive but inexperienced.
Wedding Anniversary for us. Always wanted to try the restaurant. Drove 60 miles, about 29 minutes late, greeter seemed miffed but she thought could seat us (note: there weren't but six diners in the entire place when we arrived and all gone when we left). Décor was exceptional. All tables were heavy wooden with table cloths. Waiter was prompt and courteous. He forgot to bring extra napkins and hot tea, but was pleasant when reminded. Menu appeared limited. We ordered 'chicken and waffles' which we had never had. It is a southern dish, tasty and filling although waffles for dinner seems a little strange. We ordered the only available soup on the menu, new corn chowder with shrimp. Again, maybe a southern dish we were unfamiliar with. It tasted good and was the filler of the meal rather than the chicken strips.
We were given two cupcakes as an anniversary, which was appreciated.
Price surprisingly a moderately priced for a lunch (2 pm). It appeared the dinner starting a 5 pm was double the lunch price. All in all, the event pleasant but not fantastic.

Times-Union Jaguars writer Ryan O'Halloran reviews the four keys to Thursday's game against Houston:
Continue turnover trend
Entering the game: The Jaguars are plus-five in turnover ratio during their three wins since the bye weekend and have moved up to a tie for 21st this year in turnover ratio (minus-4). Houston is 31st in ratio (minus-12 - nine takeaways and 21 giveaways).
What happened: Late in the first half, Houston had decent field position (its 41-yard line), and Case Keenum tried to float a pass over Alan Ball to Andre Johnson. But the underthrow was intercepted by Ball. The Jaguars turned that into a field goal and a 17-7 halftime lead. Geno Hayes' late interception sealed the win.
Another quick start
Entering the game: Following one first-quarter touchdown in the first eight games, the Jaguars had come out of the gate fast in the last four games. They outscored their last four opponents 38-14 and they jumped out to leads of 14-0 at Tennessee (and won) and 10-0 at Houston (and won).
What happened: The Jaguars made it four opening-drive touchdowns in five games with an impressive 13-play, 80-yard march to start the game. By early in the second quarter, it was 14-0 Jaguars - their largest lead of the year.
Red zone resurgence
Entering the game: The Jaguars are still last in red zone touchdown efficiency, but in the last four games, they have six touchdowns in 10 red zone trips (60 percent). Houston is third in fewest yards allowed but are ranked 31st in red zone defense.
What happened: The Jaguars went 2-for-2 in the red zone to build a 14-0 lead - Chad Henne threw 1 yard to Marcedes Lewis (on third-and-goal) and 6 yards to Cecil Shorts (on third-and-4) - in the first half.
Utilizing Sanders
Entering the game: Rookie Ace Sanders has 20 catches for 189 yards (he had 16 catches for 182 yards in the first nine games). Two new wrinkles were unveiled for Sanders against Cleveland and they could have more in store for the Texans.
What happened: Offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch didn't waste any time going to Sanders. On the Jaguars' first third down, Sanders started in the backfield and squeezed through traffic to catch Chad Henne's screen pass for an 11-yard gain.

Generic Name: fulvestrant (Intramuscular route)
Commonly used brand name(s)
In the U.S.
- Faslodex
Available Dosage Forms:
- Solution
Therapeutic Class: Antiestrogen
Uses For Faslodex
Fulvestrant injection is used to treat hormone-receptor (HR) positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced breast cancer in postmenopausal women who have not been treated previously with other medicines. It is also used in combination with palbociclib or abemaciclib to treat HR positive, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic (cancer that has spread) breast cancer in women who have received hormonal therapy.
Many of the breast cancer tumors will grow when estrogen is available in the body. This medicine blocks the effects of estrogen in the body. As a result, the amount of estrogen that the tumor is exposed to, is reduced, which will limit the growth of the tumor.
This medicine is to be given only by or under the direct supervision of your doctor.
Before Using Faslodex
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of fulvestrant injection in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of fulvestrant injection in the elderly.
Breast Feeding
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.

The arducopter tuning guide.
This guide was written at the time of the release of Arducopter 2.8.1 FW. It is a compilation of everything I have gathered from the experts in the field of flight controller tuning. It will help give you an understanding of how to tune any rotor based flight controller, but its specific to Arducopter and this firmware release.
I will update this as necessary, or if you can convince me any of it is incorrect just post below and I'll update this text.
There is a summary/quick reference at the bottom, so once you've read this rather rambling explanation you won't have to again, other than to check details :D
The background
Tuning your flight controller is essential for a perfect flight. Even a fully stock frame will fly better if you tune. The default params will be close, but your battery or motors might be performing differently, your air maybe 'thinner' compared to the developer that last published the default params, so you should tune.
What we are trying to achieve is control. We start to accomplish this by modifying the amount of P, I and D in our control loops. All three react to our stick inputs and the errors created by measurements from our sensors, and all three will help us fly better. If we do not have enough of any of the params the copter will not feel like it's under control, it will wander about, not resist wind and be hard to fly. Too much of any of the params and the copter will seem to have a mind of its own. It will over-react. At best you will see it oscillate, very fast, not so fast or somewhere in between, depending on which parameter has been overclocked. At worst it will simple flip over on take-off or be very unpredictable in flight.
We need to find a balance. You can tune each param up individually, but one will have an effect on another. Therefore we must tune one, then another, then go back and see if we can retune the first one again, this is the balance.
And this is where we adjust those parameters – Mission planner config page:
Before you start:
So let's start tuning
Everything you read below will be demonstrated in the tuning video further down, so you know what to look for, and at the bottom is a summary for quick reference. I think, however, it's important to include as much information here as possible as anyone starting into this hobby will often find this process to be a bit of a black art.
I've found the quickest way to tune the arducopter is to start with rate_D, (but you simply can't do this unless you can hold your beast in hand or in a jig as the copter won't fly without any rate_P or I) so a more universal way to start, and actually a more informative way is to start with rate_P.
Since this is about learning for everyone, let's do it that way. I'll give a brief low-down on the 'rate_D' tune (or Dave C tune, as it's become known) ' later. (BTW, that's very flattering but I'm only relaying info from the real experts, but hey, if I'm gonna be famous, why not for doing something I love :)) Anyway....
STEP ONE - Tuning rate_P
STEP TWO – Tuning rate_D
NOTE: once you have found your rate_D you can try something interesting - you will have to hold onto your bird for this obviously. Set rate_P to zero, then crank up your rate_D as you just have. You will discover that these fast oscillations occur at pretty much the same level of rate_D, no matter what you have set rate_P to. This is why I think it's more than possible to start tuning rate_D then move on to P. But that's a shortcut, and this is not what this guide is all about.
STEP THREE – Tuning rate_P even more
Congratulations, your copter should be flying better than it ever has done before.
For now set Stab_P at 3.0 - 3.5, closer to 3.0 if you have a high power machine, just to get you flying in stab mode. Then spend your time tuning rate_I and stab_P.
If you find your set up immediately too harsh, back off on rate_P and rate_D by 10% each, and try a lower i-term, if it's still too harsh do that again!
All that's left is to watch the video below so you can see what I'm describing and head outside for fine tuning. Oh, and await part two of the guide and amendments from any discussions raised, then we will have a proper tuning guide that will be integrated into the wiki advanced tuning guide :D
Results for tuning in this video were
Rate_P 0.168
Rate_I 0.654
Rate_D 0.008
Oh and as promised, below is Part One of the Summary Guide. I aim this to be on one sheet of A4 and tell you everything you need know 'in the field'.
Summary Guide
Summary of what you are looking for
Too much rate P will oscillate quickly, and cause to copter to sound angry under stick input, bouncing rather than smoothly following your inputs. It will also shake more at full throttle and under hard turning.
Not enough you will not feel like you have full control. It will feel sloppy and be very easy to over correct with your inputs. It will feel delayed.
Perfect is where it feels locked in, stiff in the air, but not shaky. (although if I'm sport flying I turn it up a bit for maximum 'wang' and just tolerate the slight oscillations)
Too much rate_I will oscillate if you get high enough (a much slower oscillation than a rate_P shake). But quite a long while before it oscillates it will have other detrimental effects on flight performance, like a sluggish feeling or a tendancy to flip over on take-off. This is why I suggest tuning this in flight rather than in your hand/jig.
Not enough will cause the copter to get pushed by a constant wind, then it will fight back using just P. It will not hold a very firm angle during forward flight and will need more correction. This will not be as smooth as it could be in either case.
The perfect amount will cause the copter to lean gracefully into a constant wind, but also allow you to set a lean angle and stay there as you fly about. As you dial rate_i in pay close attention to the feel of the copter, you are not looking to create oscillations here at all, you should notice a strange 'feel' long before this point.
Too much rate_D will oscillate very fast, you will see a twitch forming then a fast buzzing oscillation
Not enough rate_D will simply mean you can't dial enough rate_P and so you will suffer the effects of having rate_P too low.
A perfect rate_D will help fight the wind and follow your sticks as its fast to react, but will also allow you to reach a maximum rate_P level for you frame, thus giving better control.

Hey DanRZ,
By default you should have more than CTUN runnig, Are you sure that you are only getting CTUN? ( Ia ssume you know that you can go down a line and the column headings change)
If not, this link lists the extra logs you can turn on in terminal
Hello, i have more datas on logs :
Logs enabled : ATTITUDE_MED GPS PM CTUN NTUN CMD MOTORS.
And on your link i can see the "RAW" type. I suppose it is that value that i need to add to my enable logs.
Thanks a lot, i already have seen see that but didn't remember the RAW type.
So i will add the RAW type and see what i get.
Thanks again for this really helpful post and have good flights for 2013. ;)
Hi mate,
If that is where you got to then it should be fine. Don't be afraid to back the numbers off if you still feel you have good control though.
I wouldn't take the Stab_P up though, I would keep all of them set to 4.5.
When should stab_p be touched ?
Good question. I am not really sure to be honest because I haven't had to change it to get very good results.
If you do change it you should keep Roll, Pitch and Yaw Stab_P equal. This is because Stab_P acts in the earth frame and is translated to the body frame for the Rate loops.
This means that your Pitch Stab P will be commanding the Pitch Rate loop and the Yaw Rate Loop if you are rolled over by 45 degrees for example.
Sorry I can't answer this question better!
Its still not flying sweet and I am beginning to wonder about vibration.
When I first set up the quad with 12" props there was loads of shaking and it was difficult to tune. Checked the props on a balance and they all were worse than I had ever seen before and needed heaps sanding off the heavy blade. Supposed to be APC but looked cheap and tatty.
Anyway, the current symptoms of vibration and tuning difficulty are much the same as before except the new props are all perfect. Im not that happy with a 14" prop on a 3mm shaft but they look straight after my crash. There is some tracking error on some of the blades. The prop hub is only about 7mm diameter so its a big ask for the prop to go on perfectly flat.
The top of the motor had 4 threaded holes. I would be much happier mounting a prop driver on those so will try to get some, or make some.
At the start of this thread Dave C says something about balancing the prop and motor together. How?
Hey Vince,
I am a hydrologist, although I specialise in hydrodynamics much of the same principles apply.
A few golden rules about props which don't seem to be common practice in the hobby word;
- Never ever ever ever drill out the centre of a prop to make it fit a specific shaft size, you will never get it accurate enough without seriously expensive machining equipment. This is one of the most important points I can emphasize, not matter how much balancing you do it will not matter if the prop is not exactly centre. To this point don't buy cheap props, use spaces or put tape/heatshrink to make up the difference in shaft size, get a prop then buy a shaft mount that is exactly the internal diameter (it should be a tight fit) or vice versa.
- When adjusting the balance of a prop you never add/remove material from the blade, always add/take weight from the hub, this is due to the blade having a very specific aerofoil and adding/removing material normally results in turbulence on the surface of the blade which can be much worse than being out of balance (less lift on one side of the prop), to this point you are unlikely to be accurate enough without a computer balancer to get this right anyways but if you are going to use a home balancer such as the common magnetic balancers add weight to the hub. In my opinion if the prop is not balanced when you get it don't bother using it. There is a reason why some brands of props like Master Airscrew are so much more expensive and you will see the results in how balanced and free from "extra moulding crap" they are. When I put these props in the dynamic balancer at work I am amazed at how close they are to being perfect and my assumptions is they are putting through a cheaper dynamic balancer themselves after moulding.
- Technically it is better to balance a prop on the motor and most decent motors are normally not too bad although they usually get out of balance pretty quick from dirt getting into them from use. You won't be able to balance the motor with the core in it due to the magnets, they have to be done separately and you also have to hope the shaft hole is perfectly straight and the grub screws holding it in are not warping the alignment all of which is going slightly out in a motor worth less than $40 (making a motor with a shaft alignment that is "true" and a balanced magnet and hub assembly is a true art as even the strength and consistency of the magnet comes into play and cost significant money to achieve due to the tolerances that are needed in manufacturing). Just buy decent motors and they will be close enough.
- The shape of each prop also plays a big role especially in the leading edge. This is a tricky one as it is very hard to check without a very accurate laser to measure it with. The cheap and simple test to make a plaster mould of one of the blades leading edges, then when it is dry you give it the lightest of coatings of a dark spray paint (like one quick pass) so you when you turn the prop round and put the other blade into the mould and push down and add a little vibration you can see the light colour of the plaster mould through the dark paint. If this is not showing the entire length of the blade you know the blade is not the same shape.
Now, in saying all that in most cases it does not matter that much in the hobby world as the vibrations really don't make that much of a difference, but when we are using sensitive electronics that will be affected by the vibrations unfortunately it does and the less vibrations we have the better.
I do have a question, how big are your motors that are spinning 14" props?
It kinda sounds like you might be loading up your motors too much and as a result they can't react correctly to the changes being asked of them by the APM meaning it won't matter what settings you put it if this is the case. If you are spinning such big props and the motors are up to the task I would say you don't need high stab _p rates. My hexa is serious overpowered and I only need a stab_p of 2.9, at 4.5 it has all sorts of problems and one would assume that this is due to the amount of thrust being produce and the APM not being able to deal with how much change is caused by only a minutiae increase in thrust.
Thanks for all the info but I think ships propellers are so different, most of those rules won't work.
You will never balance a model prop by working on its hub, but removing material from there could be very dangerous. I normally try to balance by adding tape/paint to the underside but with these cr*p 12" ones that wasent enough, I had to also remove by sanding. It worked. They were vibration free and the copter was nice. I dont think minor shape changes to the underside of a model prop will make any difference at these low Reynolds numbers so will give the laser leading edge measurement a miss this time. My point was more about vibration even though the new bigger props were perfect. There is no vibration from the motors alone. I can understand with boat props, any mis-shape could lead to cavitation.
Drilling hubs? Sometimes no choice. Done it 100s of times, mostly on 2-stroke motors where any vibration is not as noticeable. Normally just 1mm bigger.
I am using these motors and they recommend 14x4.7 props.
The 12" ones hovered at 14amps and the 14" ones at 13amps. That's about 55W per motor – not stressed at all.
BUT, being so big they will take time to react so perhaps that explains my higher than normal values.
Thanks for trying to help.
Its much worse when u have a hexa withh more than 18kg thrust and around 7,5 kg alltogether weight(with camera)...i dunno how to do it this way.... :-((
Just wanted to say thanks!!! Looking forward to more!
Its not going well with my re-tuning after installing larger props. I've done Daves method many times now and it always gives me very large P values. It fly's like that but not very well.
So I went back to my old settings, used with the smaller props, which originally worked with the bigger ones as well. After hovering in the barn for I few minutes I took it outside and it just went berserk and crashed. Broke a motor mount.
I am suspecting vibration may not be helping.
Just for info-
My motors are smooth without props. The props are in perfect balance. Put the two together and I get a drill on hammer action. The motor shafts and prop drivers are straight and the prop fits tight.
When checking the prop tracking (stand a box or bottle next to the copter and turn the motors by hand so the blades almost touch it) I saw about 4mm difference on 2 props. I just held them bent for a few seconds and re-test. Surprisingly they do stay in the new position (APC anyway). After doing this there was almost no vibration.


text: Adipose tissue secretes proteins referred to as adipokines, many of which promote inflammation and disrupt glucose homeostasis. Here we show that secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (Sfrp5), a protein previously linked to the Wnt signaling pathway, is an anti-inflammatory adipokine whose expression is perturbed in models of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Sfrp5-deficient mice on a high-calorie diet developed severe glucose intolerance and hepatic steatosis, and their adipose tissue showed an accumulation of activated macrophages that was associated with activation of the JNK signaling pathway. Adenovirus-mediated delivery of Sfrp5 to mouse models of obesity ameliorated glucose intolerance and hepatic steatosis. Thus, in the setting of obesity, Sfrp5 secretion by adipocytes exerts salutary effects on metabolic dysfunction by controlling inflammatory cells within adipose tissue.

"All grown-ups were once children… but only few of them remember it."
– Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
Growing up, my mum was a librarian. You can't even begin to imagine the perks of being a librarian's daughter! I would spend hours in the back room, curled up in a stack of cushions and bean bags, reading my way through a stack of books yet to make it to the shelf. Occasionally, books would be donated, and lucky ol' me got to have first dibs on whatever I found lurking in the cardboard boxes.
I remember, quite distinctly the day I came across 'The Little Prince'. Like many (many!) children out there, the book simply seemed to speak to me. To this day, it's still one of my favourites, and I will sometimes find myself thinking of the golden haired prince as I look up at the stars. It makes me beyond happy that I can proudly wear one of my very favourite books on a daily basis. Now I just need to save up for the Hungry Caterpillar t-shirt – a favourite from childhood, and one I read (often!) with the little children I work with.

Penerbit UTM , Johor, pp. 97-113. ISBN 978-983-52-0639-9
The price of crude oil has risen from a low of USD 2 per barrel to a high of USD 126 (as at 4th June 2008). The present system cannot be maintained for more than one or two generations. This resulted in searching for an alternative energy source. Since Malaysia lies entirely in the equatorial region with an average daily solar radiation of 4,500kWh/with sunshine duration of about 12 hours, solar photovoltaic system is applicable to be used as an alternative primary energy to replace the conventional system. Stand-alone domestic PV systems provide electricity to households in remote areas. The system provides basic electricity for lighting, refrigeration and other domestic electrical equipments. These application have been installed almost everywhere in the world, especially in rural areas of developing countries. The PV is often the most appropriate technology to meet the energy demand of isolated communities. Stand-alone PV systems generally offer an economic alternative to the extension of electricity distribution grid at distance of more than 1 or 2 km from existing power lines.

Is 196 megabytes per month enough mobile data for you?
Data flat rates are essential for the vast majority of smartphone users. Being online the majority of the time with your cell phone, I figured that eating up 200 megabytes of data in a month would be easy to do. However, a recent German study by the Association of Telecommunications and Value-Added Services (VATM) published a report in their blog, which claims that the average data consumption in Germany is around 196 megabytes per month. Can this be true?
While we call less and less, we are online more with our smartphones, using services such as Messenger to communicate, watching online videos, playing games, listening to music, reading news, and keeping in touch via Twitter and Facebook. In essence, we use less of our talk minutes and gobble up more and more data, or so it seems. It appears that all this would not be possible without flexible data plans, at least not without spending a lot of money. I guess the nagging question for smartphone enthusiasts is as follows: "Will I be able to get by in one month with just 1 gigabyte of data?"
And so, I was surprised by the message about the upcoming new tariff "O2 Loop Smart" that was published on the Telefonica blog. In it this report, it says that the average data consumption in Germany is 196 megabytes. "Come on!" I thought. Shouldn't this be much higher, considering the way trends are going with smartphones? It seems too impossible to believe. Here at the AndroidPIT office, our consumption is definitely higher than this national "average": Sophia constantly complains that her 1 Gigabyte limit is always throttled, Nico and Andreas classify themselves as power users and are regularly at the limit of their plans, and Toni and I constantly come in around 500 megabytes per month.
Until recently, I even got by with 300 megabytes per month and I was only able to achieve this by being very cautious with reducing the amount of apps I had synchronizing in the background. I also never used data heavy apps while on the road, such as video streaming, Youtube and the likes. And sometimes I was still taken by surprise: once just using Google+ while out and about caused me to rack up 250 megabytes in data.
However, when you step back to think about it, this average might not be so unrealistic: only about half of smartphone users, according to Telefónica online, are always online. Only a third of users employ their smartphones when on the go, meaning outside of Wi-Fi reception.
The numbers showcased in this report are from last year, and one would expect that data consumption would continue to increase as an average. The whole song and dance behind this new tariff just reeks of a bait and catch tactic. By having customers bound to cheap contracts, how many of them will reach their limit within a week and then have their data connection throttled for the remainder of the month?
What do you think about this? How much is your monthly data usage? And what do you do if you have reached your data limit?

my iphone says I have used 5.5GB since 2011...yeah abt 200MB a month
enjoying 12gb data plan & have 3G watchdog to warn me of over usage, which happen a few times before
196 mb just for 2 days for me. sometimes less, for month with 196 what can I do, it's just enough for opening email....
I go thru 5 gigs a month easily and sometimes get overage charges for going over that.
Personally, I have 1 GB a month and skirt near the edge of my limit every single month. This is after being conscious of usage and trying to limit out of the amount of data I'm using when I'm outside of wifi. 196 megabytes a month would be ridiculous to try and limit myself to.
196 MB a month, i don't believe, i use normally between 12-15 GB of data a month and in March 2013 i use more than 20GB. This is not a joke
I used to have unlimited data on AT&T but dropped them because of being throttled at 3gb. I used to use 15gb a month without tethering. I went to Verizon for better 4g coverage and have 3 lines with 3gb a line and I use about 5gb of them each month now and that's using wifi as much as possible.
I am new to Android phones and would definitely not consider myself a power user, but I easily managed to use 500MB in my first month on the new phone. That is about half of what my 1 GB plan is good for. On the other hand, my wife uses a Nokia 610 and she has yet to reach the limit of her 200Mb plan. Goes to show.
I still have unlimited data from Verizon and that will not change, i use around 15-20gb a month so no 200mb would be nowhere near enough for me.
@pgb I'm same as you on a 300MB plan in China. I usually use about 250MB but never use cloud services over 3G.
I mend 500 mb above sry. no way to edit on app
I have a 1 gb data plan but beacause of a special offer that was going on when I got my phone I got 10gb free for the remainder of my contract with vodafone here in the Netherlands. I usualy barely use 500 gb even when really trying to spend up my data. I only passed 1 gb ones till now but that was because I used my phone as a wifi hotpsot in my car so that my son could watch videos on his tablet on th road. before this I used to get by on just 250 mb a month.
In China, using China Unicom 300Mb per month plan for a year now. I've exceeded limit twice, which incurs flat rate charge, but not ruinous. My usage is modest but always on when out and about, and I do find tendency over time is towards greater use of data. Charges are modest though, so thinking of a minor upgrade to 500Mb.
