The process went very smoothly, and your staff were more than just friendly and helpful. They went out of their way get me on the road in a timely manner
Excellent service.
Again, I don't know what you could do to improve this store. The woman who was there was exceptionally helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable.
The person staffing the facility was terrific. The truck was unsafe due transmission problems and burning oil. Truck needs major overhaul.
Great counter rep - very helpful.
Easy and fast and had me
On my way in no time.
Everything went great! Very reasonable rates.
If you get anything larger than 17' you should automatically get a hand truck!
Very fast, helpful and friendly staff. Best Uhaul experience in 5 rentals. I was in the office for maybe 4 minutes and on the road!
Bryan Joyner, Huntersville NC
Very nice attendant at the Uhaul location. Made everything easy
nothing everything was excellent. Thank you very much.
"You ROCK!"
Thanks for making our move so much easier.
Di and Brett
The guy at this location was very nice/helpful.
Young man working was professional, friendly, and very helpful.
The overall experience was really good. The young lady at the counter was very polite and nice to work with. She deserves a raise. She explained everything very well, and took another customer call while I was there and really spoke well for U-Haul.
Overall Excellent... The Gentleman that work there was a AWESOME GUY. KEEP HIM !!! EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS.
Make sure that they explain everything that is being purchased not just the truck it self. I told the young man that I want to buy some pads to cover my furniture. I started looking at pads and asking what the prices were. I told him that the sofa pad was to small. I asked what the price of the pads that came came in a large bag. He told me that they were $5.00 I said good this is good. I said to him I don't want this one because it is open. I then said to him hom many suppose to be in a bundle and he said 6 I said ok I'll take them because there are 6 in here. He did not tell me that those were RENTAL pads. So they are now saying that I have to pay for them oor return them. Those pads are covering my furniture that is in storage and I'm not going to pull all that stuff out because of a mistake that your guy made nor do I need to pay for a mistake that I did not make. He knew what I was looking for I made it very plain to him.
Great customer service. Will recommend.
The trailer rented to me should not be used. It is a 6X12 trailer with four wheels so it is a huge trailer. I told the rep I needed a trailer for 2 motorcycles. This particular one has NO foot pedal and NO ramp. By the time I realized this, there was nothing else available. This size trailer becomes unsafe to use without a ramp and no foot pedal..which by the did ended with damage to one of the bikes.
No comment
Great service already. No changes needed.
Very overpriced! How could you charge .59 a mile? Rental cars even don't charge by the mile! The trucks are old, dented with almost 100,000 miles on it and look like they haven't been dusted and really deep cleaned in years! For that kind of money the trucks should look perfect! I will NEVER purchase a u-haul truck ever again!
Need to check the driver door it would not unlock, had to crawl across the passenger seat to get in.

Be My Guest
9 Tips for Being Invited Back
6. Earn Your Keep
"Be entertaining, sing for your supper, contribute to the conversation, and make yourself indispensable," advises Ray. Hosts will appreciate help, especially if you're one of several guests. He was recently in Millbrook, N.Y., for the Mashomack Polo Challenge, and the woman whose house he was staying in decided to throw an impromptu cocktail party. "People didn't show up until 8PM, and what she thought was going to be drinks on the patio turned into a dinner party for 20," he recalls. "The five of us who were staying at her house became the staff."
7. Unplug in Public
It can be hard to stop yourself from checking your BlackBerry or iPad while staying with friends. Nevertheless, Ray urges houseguests to limit their technological tinkering as much as possible. "Phone and iPad use should be reserved for the privacy of your room," he says. "If there are extenuating circumstances, like a parent with kids elsewhere, then simply inform your host. People know that we have jobs and important matters to attend to, but your phone should never be the ninth guest at the dinner table." A friend of Ray's has teenage children and therefore does not allow technology at the table. "The rule was designed for her children, but it is meant for everyone," he says.

Zero Water Consumption Plans: U-M Students to Retrofit Historic Net-Zero Energy Home
Matt Grocoff is a proven zero energy master. The "Net Zero Energy" consultant is also the creator of GreenovationTV. Now the Ann Arbor, MI homeowner and a team of engineering students from the University of Michigan are continuing a quest towards ZERO. These individuals have plans to retrofit Grocoff's century-old Victorian house so it can capture and treat its own water.
The Grocoff home has already achieved recognition as one of the country's first Net Zero Energy homes, producing more energy through the use of solar panels and geothermal than it consumes. The engineering team he has assembled has laid out a goal to capture and treat enough rainwater on site to supply the house with clean drinking water, then find creative solutions for recycling or reusing wastewater for cleaning or irrigation.
"I'm so excited to be working with the team on this, because this challenge is so big that no one person could accomplish it on their own," said Grocoff in a recent press release from UM News Service.
Grocoff and the team from Better Living Using Engineering Laboratory (BLUElab), a student-run organization, will prototype and test several design options that might achieve the goal of Net Zero Water. He says the Net Zero Energy was easy by comparison. "Now the real challenge is water. The largest expense after street lighting in most municipalities throughout the country is sewers and water treatment."
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, American residents use about 100 gallons of clean, drinkable water per person on a daily basis. Of that total, only about 15 gallons is used for cooking, drinking or brushing teeth. Almost half is used for flushing toilets and showering. Such excess would be welcome in other areas of the world — like parts of Africa and Australia — where potable water is a rarity.
"When people think about sustainability, they like to think about the future," said Steven Skerlos, an Arthur F. Thurnau professor of mechanical engineering and faculty adviser for BLUElab. "But water shortage is not a future problem. It's happening right now."
The challenge of of water use in a home includes the capture, purification and storage of rainwater into clean drinking water, treatment of grey and wastewater for reuse elsewhere and lowering consumption overall. Even more challenging is that no one solution fits all, says the team.
"You cannot retrofit a home in Michigan then expect to pick that up and drop it into Phoenix," Grocoff said. "Just like nature, you have to have many solutions to the same problem."
To reduce consumption, the team will implement aerators and high-efficiency appliances. For rainwater capture, they'd like to improve the materials used on the roof and increase the size of the home's gutters, then store that water in a large, underground cistern.
Purification solutions are still wide open, with carbon, sand, ceramic and solar disinfection on the roof or walls among many options. And treatment or removal of grey and wastewater for irrigation or cleaning purposes is also still in the beginning stages. Compostable toilets are a viable option.
"The funny thing is this house was net-zero water when it was built," Grocoff said. "They captured water in cisterns, used water from wells for drinking and an outhouse for natural sewage. Now, I don't advocate going back to the outhouse, but let's use those natural ideas to make new solutions."
Participating students will spend the semester researching and evaluating solutions, then create test versions at the U-M's Wilson Center over the summer for proof of concept. The process may take more than a year to accomplish, but the students are looking forward to the challenge.

I wish we could quickly engineer new incinerating toilets (sp?) for home use. They are so expensive, but I want one.
Or…saw that in the UK they effectively created a natural solar/wind public toilet at a hugely visited public landmark replacing an ineffective water type of system. NO smells and NO waste.
Why use huge amounts of electricity in an incinerating toilet trying to burn up what is mostly water in the first place? Not necessary. Composting toilets can turn wastes into fertilizers with no more electricity than it takes to run a small fan, so they can go totally off-grid with just a couple of PV panels and batteries. We are building a new Passive House which will not have any flush toilets. Our compost chamber will be inside the house with us, and the Heat Recovery Ventilator will make sure that it gets plenty of air-flow to keep it from smelling while avoiding throwing away heat at the same time. Matt says that one has to consider whether the wife will be comfortable with a composting toilet, and as the wife in my household, I can tell you I much prefer a composting toilet, having had to plunge conventional flush toilets most of my life, this is simpler for me.

They should install a waterless urinal. I think the actual "waterless" brand makes a small urinal called the Baja. Could easily be installed in a bathroom!

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Bail is $500,000 for an 18-year-old accused of being under the influence of prescription drugs when he plowed a speeding vehicle into a crowded Las Vegas restaurant.
A judge on Thursday gave prosecutors one week to file a criminal complaint against Gage James Lindsey. His next court appearance is April 11.
A prosecutor says authorities are awaiting a blood test results.
Lindsey is jailed on felony reckless driving, driving under the influence of drugs and leaving the scene of an accident charges in the Monday crash that left 10 people hurt at the Egg & I restaurant on Sahara Avenue.

Centennial Village Resident
I think the rent is way to high for the quality of service as a resident. It takes weeks before service is don Read Moree and waiting three weeks is awful for such small things. The stairways are never cleaned and the noise is horrible, you can hear word by word what show the neighbor is watching and even hear them talking. These apartments are nice inside and in a great area that is the only positive thing I can say about these apartments.

What comes to mind most readily when you hear the word "comics?" Incredulity over the fact that a simple pair of glasses keeps the Daily Planet's seasoned reporters from guessing that their colleague Clark Kent is secretly Superman? Bewilderment over Betty and Veronica's helpless attraction to a nondescript redhead like Archie? Chances are the first thoughts that enter your brain aren't "suitable subject for serious academic inquiry. " Still, across the country an increasing number of universities are offering courses on comics, and a growing band of scholars are coming to the conclusion that the medium provides fertile territory for all kinds of research projects.
"Writing should be a part of all [university] courses, because in the real world we all write," asserts Toby Fulwiler. "And good writing can be a whole lot of things - like a passive [voice], evasive memo terminating someone's job" - if that's what is called for.

Shoot These People. Please.
2. Cell-Phone Abusers. Look, I have one. It's convenient. But there is a time and a place. It's called common sense. Let me break it down for you. Ask yourself these questions: Am I watching a movie? Am I eating in a decent restaurant? Am I driving? If the answer is yes, don't even THINK of flipping that fucking phone. And turn off or change your stupid-assclown Beethoven's 5th polyphonic ring-tone. Nobody thinks you are sophisticated, or smart. Quite the contrary, we all think you're a complete moron, and sincerely want to slowly stab blunt toothpicks into your eyes.
3. Happy Office People. FUCK people with company spirit. This is work. I'm hung over, tired, and I hate your guts. And if you wear that smelly-ass, stained shirt with the company logo ONE MORE FUCKING TIME this week, I will rip it off your body and expose your pasty-white man-boobs for all to see. And to our HR manager who is trying diligently to organize a company softball team: Look lady, this is a tech company. A haven for high school geeks everywhere. They certainly weren't athletes back then, and years of pecking on a keyboard hasn't magically changed them into Barry Bonds. Why you want Lewis and Gilbert out there in stretch pants and cleats is really beyond me.
4. Chatty Taxi Drivers. Just shut the fuck up and DRIVE already. Really, there is no need for you to even speak to me. I tell you where I want to go. You drive there. The little meter tells me how much I owe you when we arrive. Absolutely no need for conversation. A little tip: When I haven't responded to your repeated attempts at "small talk" - might be a pretty good indication I'm not interested in talking with you. If you continue to talk, don't be surprised when I reach through the Plexiglas opening and choke you out with my forearm.
5. Complicated Coffee Order-ers. I know you think it's really "hip" to order a "triple, no foam soy latte with one pump of sugar-free vanilla swirled" -- but get over your fucking self already. It's coffee, not a five course meal.
6. Email forwarders. No, I don't think your joke was funny. I think you are an idiot. I think I want to ram my keyboard through your teeth. Oh, and those chain-emails that instruct me to "forward 7 times, and the one I love will come back" -- those are even better. Those are fantastic. Next time you send me one of those, how about I just smash your face with my stapler 7 times, and see if you come back?

BUFFALO (Dec. 29, 2007) – To ify any advantages or adversities created by weather conditions at Ralph Wilson Stadium during Tuesday's AMP Energy NHL Winter Classic, the Buffalo Sabres and Pittsburgh Penguins will switch ends halfway through the third period – ensuring each team would spend the equivalent number of minutes attacking or defending each goal, the National Hockey League announced today.
If necessary, a five-minute overtime period also would be divided in half, with the teams switching ends after 2:30 of play.
Should a shootout be needed, each goaltender would be given the option of determining which goal to defend. Thus it is possible that both teams would shoot at the same goal. Once a goaltender has chosen the goal he wants to defend, he must defend that goal for every round of the shootout.
The League also announced that length of intermissions between – and timeouts during – periods may be subject to modification depending on weather and ice conditions, as may be determined by the Game Officials and/or Commissioner Gary Bettman, in consultation with representatives of the National Hockey League Players' Association.

The Unknown Factor Of The Winter Classic

from the Toronto Star,
The icemaker is worried. The trainers are worried. The equipment managers are worried.
This business of playing hockey outdoors in the cold piles worry on top of worry for the people behind the scenes, whose job it is to make Tuesday's Buffalo-Pittsburgh game at Ralph Wilson Stadium seem seamlessly magical.
"You don't know what's going to happen," said Chris Stewart, the Penguins' head trainer.

Sidney Crosby Conference Call Transcript
by Alanah McGinley on 12/28/07 at 04:50 PM ET
Comments (0)
On Tuesday, January 1st, at 1 p.m. ET, Sidney will lead the Penguins onto the ice at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Buffalo, where they will take on the hometown Sabres in the AMP Energy NHL Winter Classic.
Sidney leads the Penguins and is tied for second in overall NHL scoring with 16 goals and 34 assists for 50 points in 37 games played. The Penguins will host the Sabres at Mellon Arena tomorrow in the first of the back-to-back encounters that will culminate with Tuesday's outdoor game.
Q. How often have you actually skated outdoors when you were growing up in Nova Scotia?
SIDNEY CROSBY: A lot. I mean, probably not as much as other kids in Ontario and Quebec. Our weather wasn't always consistently cold. But I've certainly done it enough. Always had fun doing it. Certainly looking forward to this time.

from Dan Rosen of NHL.com,
Dan Craig also once created a rink on top of an Olympic-sized swimming pool.
Needless to say, he has this rink-building thing down to—pardon the pun—a science. And you don't need to remind him how much his ice matters to the event.
"You're going to have 70,000 people there, and seven million watching on the tube," Craig said. "You know CBC and NBC have corporate partners they have to keep pleased. I'm very conscious of that."

Problem In Pittsburgh

from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
The fall out of favor of Pittsburgh defenseman Brooks Orpik, scratched from the last two games, is merely symbolic of the dysfunction striking the Penguins.
A notable number of players in the room harbor bitter feelings toward head coach Michel Therrien and assistant Andre Savard. There is resentment, we're told, over the manner in which veteran Mark Recchi was waived. Ruutuu and Gary Roberts have asked for trades.

Did You Expect Anything Different

from ESPN,
In our "Friday Faceoff," ESPN.com NHL writer Scott Burnside (based in Atlanta) and Toronto Star columnist and frequent ESPN.com contributor Damien Cox (based in Toronto) duke it out over any given hockey topic. Let the games begin!
This week's topic: Is this season's outdoor game a good or bad thing?
Damien: Actually, it's endeavour. Not that you were born here in Canada or anything. The outdoor event? Oh sure, great idea. Well, great old idea. Or just old idea. Look, if people want to sit in a Buffalo snowdrift and "watch" an NHL game from 300 feet away, God bless 'em. But don't tell me this game should count in the standings. It makes a mockery of the game. You'll have guys out there in toques playing on crappy ice hoping to get the wind for the third period.

Who Will Watch

fromm Terry Frei at ESPN,
When NBC broadcasts the NHL Winter Classic on New Year's Day from Ralph Wilson Stadium, the network and the league will be hoping to draw in both the sport's fans and others intrigued by the outdoor setting—those who, a day earlier, would have had a 50-50 shot of identifying whether Sidney Crosby plays for Buffalo or Pittsburgh.
Whether they have tired of college football and decided to turn their backs on Michigan-Florida in the Capital One Bowl, or have any other reason, perhaps they'll be fascinated and willing to give the game (and the sport) a shot.

I was as thrilled as anyone to see the reports of the missile strikes on ISIS and other terrorist sites in Syria and I felt that President Obama made a stirring speech at the United Nations regarding the terrorist problem. Still, I have been uneasy these last few weeks with the way these issues have been handled in Washington, and the context in which they were taking place. It is laudable that the President has been able to line up so many Arab states as allies in this fight. But where are the Europeans, the Turks, the Iranians, and the Russians in this effort? All of them have stakes in the struggle against jihadist terrorism greater than we have, being closer to the scene and in many cases, more vulnerable.

This is maybe one of the most powerful pictures I have ever seen. The numbers on the arms are from prisoners of Nazi concentration camps. The numbers replaced their names while at the camps and they were tattooed on so that they could be easily tracked by the Germans. This is why we study history. So this never happens again.

I have an old small charge off of 197 that is minimally impacting my score but i went ahead and paid it anyways because it's the right thing to do and I asked for a PFD. I paid it through the collections company that Applied Bank referred it and the girl said they are authorized by Applied Bank to offer to delete tradelines in an attempt to collect payments.
So I "took" the offer and she said she will code it to Applied Bank as an offer where it was a PFD but she couldn't send any confirmation letter of a PFD. Only that the account is settled.
Anyone have any experience in this?
I was gonna pay it regardless so deleting the tradelines would be a bonus, but just curious if it'll actually happen. I already made it clear I planned on paying before we even looked into deleting it so I don't see why she'd lie.
I am sort of in the same boat.I sent a pfd to applied bank last week and i have received calls from Denovus. I haven't received a letter from them yet. I would really like to know if your tradeline was removed by settling with Denovus?
follow up on this due to a PM. They did delete the tradeline. It took around 30 days for it to update.

Written by Karen Gellender Friday, 09 September 2011 00:00
Roller derby skaters, or "Derby Girls," from all over the state descended on Skate Safe America in Old Bethpage on Saturday, Sept. 3 for the Second Annual Empire Skate Showdown. While there was plenty of the traditional glitter and fun associated with the sport, the all-day contest to determine the best female roller derby team in New York State for 2011 brought out the kind of physical, aggressive play that football and hockey fans could appreciate.
For those unfamiliar with the sport, the action of roller derby takes place during two-minute intervals called jams. There are three positions: The scorer, called a jammer, scores points for her team by lapping members of the opposing team during a jam. Skaters of the second position, called blockers, try to block the other team's jammer from passing them. The third position is the pivot, who sets the pace for the blockers and acts as their leader.
The blockers and pivots make up "the pack," which a jammer must pass through in order to become the lead jammer, at which point they have the right to end the jam at any time for strategic purposes. While blocking the opposing team's jammer, blockers also try to assist their own jammer in getting to the front of the pack.
Nine New York female teams competed in 16 challenge bouts to determine who could boast the title of Big Apple Champions. The teams participating were: Gotham Girls' Wall Street Traitors (NYC), Assault City Roller Girls (Syracuse), Ithaca Suffragettes (Ithaca), ROC City Roller Derby (Rochester), Hudson Valley Horrors (Hudson Valley) Albany All Stars (Albany) Hellions of Troy Roller Derby (Troy), Central New York Roller Derby (Utica) and Long Island's very own Long Island Roller Rebels.
By 8 p.m., the final four were Central New York, the Hellions, the Gotham Girls Wall Street Traitors, and the Long Island Roller Rebels. While, unfortunately for local fans, the Roller Rebels fell to the Traitors, the semi-final match between the two teams was one of the more competitive of the day.
The Traitors took an early lead, but the Rebels caught up to tie the score at 17 at approximately halfway through the bout. Effective jamming by C-Roll, who dominated at last December's Long Island Roller Rebels Championship Charity Bout, kept the Rebels scoring points, but the Traitors managed to take back and widen their lead with some impressive jamming of their own. The final score was Traitors 64, Rebels 25.
The next match, between the Traitors and Hellions, was more lopsided, with a final score of Traitors 115, Hellions 25, however, looks can be deceiving; for the Hellions, who came in last place at the 2010 Empire Skate Showdown, achieving a third-place finish in the tournament represented a huge step forward. Furthermore, the Traitors were last year's victors. The Hellions put up a good fight, but couldn't hold back the Traitors' team of fast jammers including Pippi Strongstocking, Double Clutch, and Brazilian Nut.
The finals saw the Traitors pitted against Central New York, thus far undefeated in the tournament. In a tough, punishing bout, with many skaters knocked down, the Traitors continued to dominate. CNY couldn't seem to push their jammers through the pack often enough to rack up the points they needed. Key Traitors' player Anne Frankenstein took a hard fall and had to be examined by EMTs twenty minutes into the bout, but fortunately was able to resume skating. The final score was Traitors 93, CNY 26.
However, since CNY had yet to lose a bout before the finals, the two teams skated a second, tie-breaking finals bout. Yet, CNY continued to struggle to get points on the board. In fact, the Gotham Girls held CNY to only one point for a large portion of the match; the score was Traitors 48, CNY 1 at the halfway point. Fortunately, an amazing power jam by Spin Spin Sugar brought CNY's score up to 24, although the Traitors soon rallied and went back to overpowering their opponents. The final score was Traitors 92, CNY 41, and the Gotham Girls Wall Street Traitors took home their second Empire Skate victory.
However, CNY went home with a little something extra as well: the team collected dry-cleaned socks for members of the agricultural community in and around Utica, which was hit hard by Hurricane Irene. Other teams sold specialty items and donated some or all of the proceeds to charity.
On Saturday, Oct. 29, the Long Island Roller Rebels will be holding a Halloween Fundraiser at the Broadway Bar in Amityville from 10 p.m. to 4 p.m. For more information about upcoming local roller derby bouts and events, visit www.longislandrollerrebels.com.

This is among the relatively few extant early sixteenth-century panels that join a portrait with an emblematic or allegorical subject on the reverse. Two other notable contemporary examples are Jacopo de' Barbari's Portrait of a Man, with a nude couple on the reverse, of about 1497–1500 (Gemäldegalerie, Berlin), and a Portrait of a Man, with Pyramus and Thisbe on the reverse, of about 1505, formerly attributed to Hans Baldung and now given to a follower of Albrecht Dürer in Nuremberg (Musée Unterlinden, Colmar).Scholars have offered various interpretations of Girl Making a Garland, most notably that it represents a generic portrait of the betrothed of the unidentified man on the obverse, or that it constitutes the first genre scene in German art. However, the meaning of the painting must surely be tied to the specific activity of the girl, the prominently placed cat, and the text on the banderole (which reads, in translation, "I bind with forget-me-nots"). Wearing a dancing dress, the girl is presented as a young maiden, her loose, flowing hair adorned with a double string of pearls symbolic of her chastity. Rather than a portrait, she is a female type, symbolizing a lover or prospective bride. Although the wreath of flowers was traditionally worn by women at festivals and tournaments, it was also commonly donned without a special event in mind by girls in southern Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Most important for this painting was the wreath worn by the bride as a sign of her virginity on her wedding day, when it would be taken from her with certain rites and replaced with a bonnet. The cat has many connotations in the art of this period, but the most likely one here is that suggested by Dittrich and Dittrich (2004)—a symbol of the respectable, constant love for the man who appears on the other side of the panel.The inscription on the banderole is a text in Middle German referring specifically to the action of the maiden as she makes her wreath. The banderole, derived from numerous medieval examples, serves to unite text with image, offering an explanation of the scene. A similar "subtitle" appears in the so-called Gotha Double Portrait by the Master of the Housebook (Stiftung Schloss Friedenstein Gotha), perhaps the most well-known of such love and betrothal paintings, which also bears an inscription referring to the relationship of the man and the woman depicted. The girl in the Museum's painting seems to address the young man on the other side of the panel. A close translation of the verb binden also reveals that the girl expresses an almost oathlike commitment along with her affection. Her promise to bind her heart faithfully to her lover is further heightened by the reference to the forget-me-not. This plant played an important role in the love poetry and love magic of that time, where it was often cited with its pre-fifteenth-century name, Jelängerjelieber (the one who longs, the one who is dear). When given to a beloved and suspended from his or her neck, the forget-me-not was believed to inspire love toward its presenter. Moreover, the name highlights the association of the flower with faithfulness and loving commemoration within relationships.Because of the false monogram and date on the reverse, the two paintings were initially accepted as by Dürer. By 1884 Thausing had already rejected that notion; in the 1905 catalogue of the Museum's paintings, a new attribution was made to Wolf Traut, a Nuremberg painter who served as Dürer's assistant on a number of occasions. A catalogue of a 1906 exhibition in London attributed only Girl Making a Garland to Traut and ascribed the portrait to a Nuremberg painter influenced by de' Barbari. Concurrently, Friedländer recognized the "sentimental" manner of the two paintings as characteristic of Hans Süss von Kulmbach, rejected any attribution to Traut, and deemed the Dürer monogram inauthentic. While several scholars agreed with Friedländer's observations, the attribution to Traut persisted, in part because the artist was known to have emulated Kulmbach's style. Taking up Friedländer's attribution to Kulmbach, Winkler (1930) dated the panel to the period after the artist settled in Nuremberg in 1505. This opinion gained ground, especially when Winkler's opinion that it might be Kulmbach's earliest known work was reiterated in the catalogue of a 1950 exhibition at the Herron School of Art and Design, Indianapolis.The maiden in Girl Making a Garland is comparable with figures in Kulmbach's early drawings, particularly Pairs of Lovers and an Old Woman (Staatliche Graphische Sammlung, Munich) of about 1504–5. The woman seated second from the left in that drawing shows a similar awkward foreshortening of the shoulders but also a successful understanding of the legs, described by the folds of the fabric of her dress. Even, parallel hatching in discrete areas suggests the modeling of forms in both the drawing and the underdrawing of the MMA painting, although Kulmbach is quicker and looser with his handling in the underdrawing than in the more formal sketch on paper, as the underdrawing of the cat also shows. Though thinly applied, the brownish and pinkish tones over the underdrawing in the flesh areas (with white present only in slightly blended highlights) appear both in the painting of the girl here and in Kulmbach's apostles in the later Ascension of Christ (MMA 21.84).Questions regarding the date of the panel have been harder to resolve, in part because of the compromised state of Portrait of a Man. A more precise placement of the portrait within Kulmbach's oeuvre must take into account the influence of de' Barbari, and especially of his Portrait of a Man (Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna) which bears the initials "I.B." and the caduceus, the artist's mark. This painting dates to about 1505–6, when Jacopo was working in Wittenberg for the Dukes of Saxony. The sitters are similar in pose, except for the absence of a hand resting on the edge of the lower frame in Kulmbach's portrait; each faces forward and turns his head slightly to the left as he gazes dreamily into the distance.De' Barbari was in Nuremberg by 1500, serving as court painter and illuminator to Maximilian I. He spent time at a number of other German courts, including those of Friedrich the Wise of Saxony, Joachim and Albrecht of Brandenburg, and Heinrich of Mecklenburg, before heading to the Netherlands around 1509 to work for Philip of Burgundy and later for Margaret of Austria in Mechelen. Winkler (1930) supposed that Kulmbach was in de' Barbari's workshop at Maximilian's court between April 1500 and 1503. Barbara Butts ("The Drawings of Hans Süss von Kulmbach," Master Drawings 44 [Summer 2006], pp. 127–212) argued convincingly that Kulmbach was more likely to have been apprenticed to de' Barbari in Wittenberg from 1503 to 1505, at Friedrich's court, before he joined Dürer's workshop in Nuremberg around 1507. This time frame for Kulmbach's route as a journeyman painter explains why the Metropolitan's portrait shows de' Barbari's strong influence and especially that of his so-called "soft portrait style." This influence must have continued even somewhat after Kulmbach joined Dürer's workshop, which was then being run by Hans Schäufelein during the master's sojourn in Venice. Although the Dürer monogram and date of 1508 were added to the painting later, the date could well be correct for the portrait. Strieder (1993) concurred that the awkward rendering of space and the archaic elements of the banderole in Girl Making a Garland indicate an early date, before 1510. And Winkler (1959) noted that it was not until after 1511, when Kulmbach became a citizen of Nuremberg and established his own workshop, that the artist signed his works with the monogram HK.As a portrait with an accompanying allegorical subject, this panel is unique in Kulmbach's oeuvre; it can also be identified as the earliest surviving portrait by the artist.[2014; adapted from Ainsworth 2013]
The support is a poplar panel .16 centimeter thick, with the grain oriented horizontally. The panel displays a moderate convex lateral warp. A horizontal split is present below the center, and several chips are found along the side edges. A barbe and unpainted borders approximately .6 centimeter wide surrounding the image areas on both sides indicate that the panel was in an engaged frame when the white ground preparation was applied. Examination with the stereomicroscope revealed a very thin, bright, white priming on top of the ground layer.Magnification showed that the large monogram in the style of Dürer above the cat in Girl Making a Garland extends over the cracks and is therefore not original.Girl Making a Garland is generally well preserved. It is thinly painted, however, and the paint has increased in transparency with age. In addition, the surface is slightly worn. The blue-and-red edging on the neckline of the white chemise is damaged. Nevertheless, the appearance of the painting is cohesive, and the fine detail remains impressive. Portrait of a Young Man is severely abraded throughout and has been extensively restored.In Girl Making a Garland, detailed underdrawing with a black liquid medium applied with a very small brush and slightly wavering in quality is visible beneath the paint surface in normal light and enhanced with infrared equipment. Contours of the girl and cat as well as overall loose, curling hatching describing the forms are most clearly apparent. The painted positions of the girl and cat differ slightly from those drawn. A few strokes of underdrawing are visible in Portrait of a Young Man, including the contours of the mouth and chin, the strands of hair framing the face, and the edge of the collar. The quality of the line appears similar to that found beneath the image of the girl. In Girl Making a Garland, lines scored into the preparation layer were used to plan the architecture of the window. The lattice was incised into the brownish black background with a fine stylus.[2013; adapted from German Paintings catalogue]

(both sides) [German ed., "Nürnberg, 1300–1550: Kunst der Gotik und Renaissance"], attributes both sides to Kulmbach; dates the man about 1508, suggesting that the date inscribed on the other side may have been transferred from the original frame; dates the woman about 1510, due to its "greater maturity" and "the deftness in the handling of its symbolic elements"; notes that the portrait must have been intended as the front of the panel, with the genre scene of the woman and cat as the back; adds that the fact that the man faces to the left indicates that the portrait was planned as an independent work, since he would customarily face to the right in a diptych, but that the painted reverse "presupposes" that the work was one side of a hinged diptych; suggests that a companion portrait of the man's fiancée may have been commissioned later, and that the woman making a garland might have been added at that time; translates the inscription as "I am tying with forget-me-nots".

Metropolitan Museum Journal 27 (1992), pp. 183, 185, 187 nn. 2–4, figs. 2–3 (both sides), suggests that the "Girl Making a Garland" served as a model for Johann Friedrich Overbeck's portrait of the painter Franz Pforr (1810; Nationalgalerie, Berlin), noting that both pictures include a similarly posed young woman at left and a cat on a window sill at lower right; states that there is no documentary evidence that Overbeck saw the MMA work in either Vienna or Naples [see Ex collections], but that the details shared by the two pictures "suggest strongly that Overbeck had it in mind when he painted his friend's portrait"; translates the inscription as "I bind with forget-me-nots"; dates the man about 1510, noting that both the inscribed monogram and date on the reverse are later additions. Brigitte Lymant. "Die sogenannte 'Folge aus dem Alltagsleben' von Israhel van Meckenem: Ein spätgotischer Kupferstichzyklus zu Liebe und Ehe." Wallraf-Richartz-Jahrbuch 53 (1992), pp. 39, 44 n. 90.

Löcher 1986]; states that the influence of Jacopo de' Barbari suggests that the date of 1508 may be accurate for the man, noting that Löcher proposes a slightly later date for the woman.

FHWA believes that the impacts of climate change need to be taken into account as transportation systems are planned and as transportation projects are developed. There are several initiatives underway designed to develop information, tools, and procedures necessary to support the consideration of the impacts of climate change.

<a href="http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/climate_change/adaptation/ongoing_an... of FHWA Climate Adaptation Initiatives (as of February 2014)

To help practitioners learn from the experience of others the Adaptation Good Practice (AGP) project was designed to provide tangible, practical, real-life examples of adaptation processes or activities that could be used to leverage or model practices in other jurisdictions or organizations.
Sixteen exemplar case studies and nominated examples of AGP from across Australia have been produced to help guide future actions. They cover different levels of government, industry, approaches at a variety of spatial scales, and initiatives being taken at different phases of adaptation research, planning, and implementation.

Under Executive Order No. 13514 and Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) Implementing Instructions, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is required to submit a Climate Adaptation Plan for implementation in 2013. The DOT released their Climate Adaptation Plan in April 2013 which includes the departments commitments for Fiscal Years 2012 and 2013 and lays out next steps they will take integrate climate change into policies, programs, and, operations moving forward. Read the plan here.

Heart attack risk perception biases among hypertension patients: the role of educational level and worry.
ABSTRACT Risk biases such as comparative optimism (thinking one is better off than similar others) and risk inaccuracy (misestimating one's risk compared to one's calculated risk) for health outcomes are common. Little research has investigated racial or socioeconomic differences in these risk biases. Results from a survey of individuals with poorly controlled hypertension (N=813) indicated that participants showed (1) comparative optimism for heart attack risk by underestimating their heart attack risk compared to similar others, and (2) risk inaccuracy by overestimating their heart attack risk compared to their calculated heart attack risk. More highly educated participants were more comparatively optimistic because they rated their personal risk as lower; education was not related to risk inaccuracy. Neither race nor the federal poverty level was related to risk biases. Worry partially mediated the relationship between education and personal risk. Results are discussed as they relate to the existing literature on risk perception.

Article: An Assessment of Change in Risk Perception and Optimistic Bias for Hurricanes Among Gulf Coast Residents.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study focuses on levels of concern for hurricanes among individuals living along the Gulf Coast during the quiescent two-year period following the exceptionally destructive 2005 hurricane season. A small study of risk perception and optimistic bias was conducted immediately following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Two years later, a follow-up was done in which respondents were recontacted. This provided an opportunity to examine changes, and potential causal ordering, in risk perception and optimistic bias. The analysis uses 201 panel respondents who were matched across the two mail surveys. Measures included hurricane risk perception, optimistic bias for hurricane evacuation, past hurricane experience, and a small set of demographic variables (age, sex, income, and education). Paired t-tests were used to compare scores across time. Hurricane risk perception declined and optimistic bias increased. Cross-lagged correlations were used to test the potential causal ordering between risk perception and optimistic bias, with a weak effect suggesting the former affects the latter. Additional cross-lagged analysis using structural equation modeling was used to look more closely at the components of optimistic bias (risk to self vs. risk to others). A significant and stronger potentially causal effect from risk perception to optimistic bias was found. Analysis of the experience and demographic variables' effects on risk perception and optimistic bias, and their change, provided mixed results. The lessening of risk perception and increase in optimistic bias over the period of quiescence suggest that risk communicators and emergency managers should direct attention toward reversing these trends to increase disaster preparedness.Risk Analysis 11/2013; · 2.28 Impact Factor
