On Monday 27th April 1992 the House of Commons elected its first woman Speaker, Betty Boothroyd.
I was a rare government Minister voting for a Labour Speaker. I did so because I thought it time a good woman candidate should have the job after 700 years of men, and thought it important that Labour held a great office of state again after 13 years in the wilderness.
The mood was strange. Many of my Ministerial colleagues were buoyed up by the fourth election victory in a row, and had not detected the feelings of unease and unhappiness on the doorsteps. They did not seem to grasp that the Conservatives won the 1992 election despite the background and the ERM policy, not because of it.It seemed to me it would have been wrong to have flaunted the narrow victory by using the majority to have another Conservative Speaker, especially if that Speaker had been a Cabinet member in the recent past in the same administration that he would need to preside over.
Enough of my backbench colleagues took the same view, so Betty was elected easily.She proved to be a good Speaker, who brought a fresh approach to the job and was widely liked and respected on all sides of the House.

Jeff Watson may be the Orson Welles of social media cinema. The Canadian PhD candidate at USC's School of Cinematic Arts has devised a playful deception to entice freshmen students to enter the movie biz while they're waiting to enter the movie biz. Watson has invented a sort of secret society centered on an elaborate card game. Here's how it works.
Like a game of Hollywood-style Texas Hold 'Em, Watson deals out custom-made cinema-oriented cards printed with fragmentary instructions. A typical hand might instruct a student to make a music video, based on a failed love affair, featuring a teddy bear – or something like that. The student then teams up with other talented players and, presto, they whip up sometimes remarkable cinematic creations. As time goes on, Watson says, the deals become more complex, the teams become larger and the students earn more points. Points translate into movie-style treats such as tickets to exclusive screenings.
And all this takes place outside the classroom, long before some more stodgy faculty members feel the students are ready to sit in the director's chair. To lend the activity a subversive underground vibe, Watson says he recruits by word-of-mouth only and has designed a sinister faux-political logo. With a sort of alluring simplicity, he calls the game "The Game." Players follow their individual and team progress on a website, as they pioneer a new style of collaborative social media cinema. It may not be "The War of the Worlds," but Watson's "The Game" has apparently reeled in a hefty chunk of Hollywood's next generation. He says 125 of the school's 140 freshmen are playing.
Who knows? It may someday influence how media is made.

About Harbor Seals
Harbor seals spend their entire lives along the same stretch of coastline. Seals maintain a thick layer of fat beneath their skin to guard against cold water temperatures, giving them a thick sausage shape. They spend many hours during the day hauled out on a favorite sandbar or rocky island soaking in the warm sunshine. Harbor seals are opportunistic feeders who tend to hunt for fish, cephalopods, and other invertebrates during high tide. Harbor seals are most vulnerable when out of the water and will quickly swim off if you get too close. Harbor seals give birth to one pup in the spring. Pups can be born on land or in the water, and the nursing period lasts about six weeks. After nursing is complete, the adult seals mate. Pregnancy lasts nine months, but the fertilized egg does not begin to develop for two months, aligning birth dates to the same time each year.
Harbor seals can be seen year round at Casa Beach and Seal Rock at the foot of Jenner St. and Coast Blvd. in La Jolla. It is very rare for harbor seals to choose a haul-out site so close to humans, making this a rare natural treasure, indeed.

The Curious Case of Daniel Bard
After acquiring Andrew Bailey and Ryan Sweeney from the Oakland Athletics for Josh Reddick and a pair of talented Class A prospects, the Red Sox will almost undoubtedly stretch out both Alfredo Aceves and Daniel Bard with the intention of converting one or both stud relievers into a starter.
Before the Phils gave Jonathan Papelbon a boatload of dough, I was on board with resigning the suddenly mature closer and toying with the idea of moving Bard to the rotation. But the Sox stuck to their plan. They went year to year with Paps, paid him handsomely, and cut ties when free agency came calling. Despite the fact that we all know the Sox, hate (and I mean hate) investing heavily in closers, I still felt like someone had punched me in the throat when I heard that Cinco Ocho had signed with Philadelphia. My cubicle at work began to get a whole lot smaller. All of a sudden, the bullpen of the Red Sox became especially shallow. Paps and his 219 career saves, all of which were achieved in a Red Sox uniform, were out the door. It would have been easier watching Papelbon walk after his 2010 campaign, but after putting together arguably his best year as the Red Sox stopper, it was difficult. I know he blew the final game of what capped an utterly miserable final month of the season. I don't care. The guy is a stud. He just turned 31 years old in November. He punched out over 12 batters per nine frames in 2011 and walked 18 guys less than he did the previous year. Take it for what it is worth, but Papelbon not only succeeded—he thrived in what Steve Buckley would call "the Boston baseball experience." All of that was now gone. Immediately, my liberal view of Bard's role changed.
With Papelbon now organizing his locker in Philadelphia, my belief was to vault Bard into the closer's role. Sure, the former Tar Heel has had some struggles on the road, and he fatigued down the stretch last year. Talk radio and buddies of mine clamored that the Sox go out and sign a proven closer like Ryan Madson. Giving a guy a multi-year deal to close while letting Papelbon walk with no resistance would not have sat well with me. The school of thought was that Bard did not possess "the makeup" to close in Boston. No one pointed to his 26 1/3 innings scoreless streak he amassed during 2011 while being thrust into high leverage situations or the fact that he effortlessly tosses a fastball that often touches north of 97 MPH (not to mention a sharp-biting slider). Bard passes the eye test. He has better pure stuff than Papelbon. He could very well end up being a better closer than Papelbon, but there is a stark difference between the two hard throwing righties. At this point in his career, Papelbon wanted to close.
Daniel Bard is nobody's fool. He is a well-spoken, articulate guy. Beyond that, he knows that you find more dollar signs at the top of a rotation than you do at the backend of the bullpen. Through conversations with Ben Cherington and Bobby Valentine, Bard has made it extremely clear that he sees himself in the rotation. At the same time, it should be said that Bard stated he would do whatever was best for the team. Now that the Sox have acquired both Mark Melancon (Muh-Lan-Son) and Andrew Bailey, it seems as though their set-up man and closer are in place. And they came at cheap money. According to Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe, the pair will make somewhere in the neighborhood of 4 million bucks next season…combined. In today's market, even for teams like the Red Sox who spend up to and often over the luxury tax threshold, acquiring players who are under team control for low dollars are vital. Props to Ben Cherington. So what does this now mean for Bard?
I have flipped. I have flopped. And now it seems as though I am flipping again. Bard wants to start, and the Red Sox need a starter (actually they need two). In his career, Bard has tossed just south of 200 innings, the hallmark number for a starter who makes right around 30 starts in a given year. Last year, Bard pumped out 73 innings for the Sox. He will have plenty of time to get stretched out, but assuming he can give the Red Sox 200 innings would be asinine. In an ideal scenario, the Sox should look for Bard to give them 140-160 innings in 2012. It is enticing to extrapolate the performance Bard gives in the late innings of ballgames over the course of a given year if he gets the ball every fifth day. However, it is important for fans to temper their expectations. The training wheels will be on. Bard will often come out of games when his pitch count is relatively low. He may dazzle for four innings, walk a batter or two, and get yanked. Frustration is almost a certainty. I hate to even bring up the butcher job the Yankees did with Joba Chamberlain, but Bard, like Chamberlain was, is a young stud who throws hard and is currently in the purgatory between the bullpen and the rotation.
Ultimately, I see the Red Sox collecting some empty cans, heading to the redemption center, and snagging a low-end starting pitcher in January to fill out the rotation. The wishful-thinking Red Sox fan hopes for Roy Oswalt, but the realistic Sox supporter sees Joe Saunders entering the fold. Despite stretching him out to be a starter, Aceves will end up returning to the bullpen where his value as a hybrid pitcher is sky high. What does this all mean? Josh Beckett, Jon Lester, and Clay Buchholz will be forced to shoulder an extremely heavy load, just as three relatively well- paid starters should be.

How to refuse services when you currently get them?
|Thu, 09-08-2011 - 1:38pm
My friend is in CA in a virtual school.
|Fri, 09-09-2011 - 7:26pm
That is correct, she wants no more services (even though she has been getting them for 6 years,) only the accommodations, which she can do at home on her own anyhow. The charter school scared her and said that she would have to sign a form releasing them from responsibility of providing the services and requiring her to provide them. She doesn't want to provide them. The school people also are trying to guilt her into continuing with the services implying that she will be considered a bad parent. She also doesn't want them calling CPS or anything.

Son in Law is a 1993 comedy film starring Pauly Shore, Carla Gugino, Lane Smith, Cindy Pickett, Tiffani Thiessen, Patrick Renna, Dan Gauthier, and Dennis Burkley. The film was directed by Steve Rash, previously known for films such as The Buddy Holly Story (1978) and Queens Logic (1991).The films starts as a typical Fish out of Water story. Rebecca "Becca" Warner (Gugino) is a farm girl from South Dakota. She is just starting her college life at the University of Los Angeles. Where the local ways of dressing, acting and partying confuse and scare her. By the time Halloween (October 31) arrives, Becca is seriously thinking of dropping out and running home. Enter resident advisor Crawl (Shore). He is a Surfer Dude who is willing to help Becca adapt to her new environment. He talks her into having a makeover and helps her learn to have fun. She now loves California life.Time for the second part of the film. When Thanksgiving break arrives, Becca worries about returning home. Her boyfriend Travis (Gauthier) has hinted at a marriage proposal. Her parents fully expect her to settle down with him. She actually dreads that thought. When Crawl admits to have no family of his own, Becca invites him over to spend the holidays at the farm. She effectively introduces him as her new boyfriend. He catches on and claims they are already engaged. Angering Travis and and shocking her family.Now Crawl has to win over conservative dad Walter (Smith), timid mom Connie (Pickett), and little brother Zack (Renna). Face the revenge schemes of Travis and farm hand Theo (Burkley). And face temptation in the face of local hottie Tracy (Thiessen). Because Crawl is seriously falling for Becca, even if she is unaware of it.The film is often mentioned as a pretty decent comedy, Crawl as one of Shore's most likeable roles. Professional critics are less favorable to it. . Roger Ebert pointed that Crawl is "one of those narcissistic cool guys who speaks in a monotone", making him hard to like. He found himself sympathizing with the parents who don't trust this prospective son-in-law. James Berardinelli complained about the film having few laugh-out-loud moments and having an ending which gave him a "sugar shock". In any case, the film performed decently at the box office. It earned about 36,5 million dollars in the United States market. Where it was the 42nd most successful film of its year.

It's winter in the Netherlands. Food-wise this means green soup[1] with cut-up wieners (from a jar) floating in it, doughnuts heavily veiled in icing sugar, and . . . pears. Yes, the winter kitchen here in the Netherlands will either kill you immediately or bore you to tears.
|Dutch erwtensoep. Photo from www.maaltijdje.nl.
Not wanting to kill anyone, but needing a dessert, I settled on poached pears.
Then, because I had not wasted enough time on the internet already today, I did some research on coring pears. I found the video below featuring a lady called Nina Pucillo who knows all about coring pears and who informed me that coring pears is in fact "one of the basics of cooking."
She also noted that while coring pears "sounds difficult," it's actually very easy. Making me wonder who she has been trying to explain it to.
Then she said it was perfectly okay if I didn't own a corer, because I could core my pears using a grapefruit knife and grapefruit spoon.
Literal quote from the video: "[A grapefruit knife] is what I started with when I started coring pears." When you started coring pears? Like, as a hobby?
Plus, who owns a grapefruit knife? And a grapefruit spoon? Or is this another "basic" of cooking that I've been missing all my grown-up (sort of) life? I mean, I own things called "knives" and things called "spoons." I even have one specialist knife. It's called "bread knife." Never in my wildest imagination did I ever think anyone would ever even invent anything called "grapefruit knife," let alone suggest that it was somehow a more normal thing to own than a corer.
By the way, I also did a Google search for "grapefruit knife" and came up with this image of what must be the deadliest kitchen knife there is. If you look carefully you'll see it's serrated on both sides for maximum rippage.
|And this is why we'll be having cereal. From Wikipedia.
And then I decided to find out more about Nina Pucillo's company "Nina Cucina" and look what Google found:
|Google search result for "Nina Cucina"
I could get another whole post just out of the bizarro grammar of "where you learn't for cook healthy recipes" alone, but my favourite is the "Meet Our Medical Advisor" link, which I reckon just goes to show that you shouldn't be fooling around with a doubly-serrated grapefruit knife.
For this evening at least, we'll be eating around the cores.
[1] Pea soup, in Dutch spelled "erwtensoep." Just try to pronounce that sucker. This must be one of the most dreaded words a foreigner in the Netherlands will ever have to say.

Tempe-based US Airways flew nearly 7 percent fewer passengers in November than in November 2007.
The carrier reported Wednesday that it reduced capacity last month by more than 6 percent. Load factor, the percentage of available seats filled, was 77.7 percent in November, down 0.7 percent from a year ago.
"In addition to the impact of the busy post-Thanksgiving holiday travel return falling in December, our November unit revenue was impacted by the deteriorating macroeconomic environment. We continue to believe, however, that the impact of lower fuel cost will more than offset the decline in demand that we are currently anticipating," US Airways president Scott Kirby said in a statement.

AirTalk for January 27, 2014
The SoCal perspective: Are 'gifted' students being hurt by a race to the middle?
Robert Benson/Getty Images for Knowledge Unive
Children at Scripps Ranch KinderCare in San Diego play in their classroom on October 1, 2013 in San Diego, CA.
The U.S. routinely comes in well below other world leaders when it comes to ranking kids' abilities in reading, science and math. Now a decades-long study that started in 1971 tracks some of our country's best and brightest students.
It's found that these 'gifted' kids, who went on to become successful professionals in a wide range of fields, succeeded despite their education. The researchers argue that these students received less time and attention than kids who were in remedial classes, and therefore were more or less 'ignored' by their teachers.
The controversial No Child Left Behind law did help low-achieving students do better in the classroom, but a 2008 report found that it actually caused teachers to pay even less attention to high achieving students.
On Friday, we explored the topic with one of the researchers behind the longitudinal study on gifted children.
In part 2 of our series today, AirTalk goes hyperlocal and talks to coordinators of gifted and talented student programs from various school districts in SoCal.
Debbie Dillard, District coordinator of the Gifted / Talented Program at the Los Angeles Unified School District
Pam Lovett, Gifted and Talented Education coordinator at the Long Beach Unified School District
Linda Tenno, Ed.D., Principal, Victoria Elementary School and GATE coordinator of the Newport-Mesa Unified School District

Jay Sean Reveals Cover Art, Tracklisting for 'Neon'

"The album is the best piece of work I've done to date, without a doubt in the last 10 years," the Cash Money crooner told Rap-Up TV. "This album is a mixture of R&B, of pop, of some rock influence as well, of hip-hop influence. It's just all of the great genres that I love and I grew up on in one. The songwriting and production on this album is superb. It really took us a long time to get it right, but I'm so proud of it."

zippitydoodah, your picture rocks!
Thanks!! I have an SLR camera (with the fancy lenses and stuff)... I set it to a slow shutter speed (which makes the motion blur) and made my sister and bf go on the dumbo behind me and not move up and down (they really wanted to lol). And then I took a lot of shots so that one was bound to turn out right haha. I just got the camera about 3 months before I went on this trip and don't know much about photography... this is my favourite picture I've ever taken though
Also, shameless plug here... I've never won, vote for me! haha. Also thokecin, I like your pic!
Love how thokecin captured the sun.

food photography tips
Powered by Max Banner Ads
In this food photography article I will be discussing some of the very vital food photography techniques. How to shoot food photography depends very much on light, composition and what part of the scene you focus on. Use these tips to capture beautiful photos every time.
We experience more food than we appreciate. Walking in the supermarket will offer hundreds or even thousands of specialized photographs of meals and drinks. Flipping through a magazine will also more often than not present some savory and tempting food pictures as well. Is there really a method to photographing food successfully? Yes, in fact there are.
Commercial food photography can apply to publicity, packaging or editorial areas, and the professionals will habitually be involved with stylists, prop specialists and clients who want the item to appear tasty and delicious. You will see examples of commercial food photography in flyers of fast food, supermarket catalogues and even billboards in shopping center complexes and street signs. Every time you pass a sign that advertises a pizza, fried chicken or organic produce, there has been a skilled photographer behind that shot. This skilled photographer might have been in a studio, under hot lights and next to windows, for hours, while they shot a sequence of scrumptious dishes.
Undoubtedly there are some vital issues in food photography. Such things as meats or even veggies must be captured in a way that makes them totally tempting. For many the significant issues are lighting, background and consistency. To photograph foods in the most satisfying ways possible demands some serious resourcefulness and also demands that the food photographer pays close attention the food looking as newly picked as humanly possible.
Think that a ripe, juicy tomato is picked fresh from the ground, washed and then instantly photographed? Think again! In order to photograph food that looks like you want to sink your teeth into it at first look calls for a number of things to be in pace. The first key is light. Lighting foods in order to photograph them well often requires such things as glazes or moisturizers to be applied to their surfaces to give them an interesting gloss that they might not normally have.
This also means that the item have to be lit appropriately. The majority of good food photographs are those with a single, small source of light focusing on the food in question and then a brilliantly lit or coordinating surroundings that adds to the complete look of the food. For example, many baked goods such as cakes and cookies are likely to be shot with well suited colors in the background rather than just a plain or solid color.
In addition to the single, small light source, a lot of food photographers also place the light at a lower angle to the item than is usual for conventional photographic studio light. This is to shoot a great deal of texture right through the surface of the food and to help any glazes or moisturizers develop many highlights or accents. While many studio photographers also tend to use a great deal of flash fill lighting, food photographers employ reflectors to target small amounts of light on the subject instead. The last rule around lighting as used by commercial food photographers is to stay away from lighting any foods from straight in front. This frequently causes shadowed areas to become visible, and a quick look at food photos would reveal there are never any strong shadowed areas at all.
There are literally many other methods used to successfully take photos of food, but the majority of experts will say that the method is in the lighting. Once you have mastered the light, then you can work on your clear, sharp focus and composition. This development will permit you to capture the most beautiful and delightful photos.

Everything went as smooth as possible.
Very nice staff and very knowledgeable. Even gave my daughter a new toy truck. I would surely recommend.
even though I got a good rate for my unit it would be better if you made it even more affordable thk u Betty
Betty was fabulous
This experience was the best.
Awesome customer services and accomadations provided.
My experience was very good. Betty was outstanding. I can't think of anything to make the experience any better.
I was very satisfied with the customer service from everyone involved with my transaction. And i really enjoyed the dogs:- especially the one that runs in front of the cart. How adorable!
We were unsure about how it would go but Betty was great,,we couldnt be happier with the service-we feel totally comfortable with our things being stored at her site
This place was easy to find plus customer service was great. Carissa was great!!
I was pleased with the space and service.
Excellent service and help.

Customer service was excellent. Both ladies working at the office were excellent.
Next time I need a storage facility to hold all my extra inventory for my shop. This will be my first choice. Thank you for a safe clean facility.
We originally booked our rental at another location but due to truck maintenance, we were forced to pick up a truck at this location. This was 15 miles out of our way and in no way did we get compensated at all. Then when we went to fuel up the truck, the indicator lever was broken and didn't budge after putting $25 in the tank. So we decided to put another $20 just to see if it would move. Nothing happened still so we continued our way back to the u haul place to inform them what happened. Half way there the needle jumped up to 3/4 of a tank! We were only supposed to fill it to 1/2. When we turned the truck in we let them know that it was broken and what happened and they did NOTHING for us. So I ended up paying for $20.00 in gas that I shouldn't of as well as 15-20 miles that I shouldn't of.
Nonething the lady Debbie was very nice & professional she was a lot of help. She got me in quick and processed out quick!
Prices seem a little high...but you can`t find a more accessible uhaul..nor a more friendly group of ladies..Compared to other..farther IN city...WELL worth
My only problem is when moving out my item I got an roach infestation in my belongings which wasn`t pleasant seeing in my belongings.
no comment
Betty was the best. She helped us in our extremely stressful situation, and took care of our needs completely anf fully. Thank You Betty!!!!!

Kelly was great. Not only was she friendly but she was very helpful and insured out experience went smoothly. Thanks Kelly
I would never recommend this storage. in fact I`m gonna tell people to never use u-haul at 47th 99. Through Social media. The staff is terrible ever since the change of management.
Kelly the assistant manager went above and beyond to help in every way. She really made the process so much easier.
Excellent customer service! Thank you!:0
Betty was highly proficient. Very helpful and friendly! Uhaul goddess! We are so greatful to her for our excellent experience!
Longer hours to enter storage would be better, having to pay for longer hours is something i have never encountered before.

The Manager was Very helpful.
Our original plan was to stay one month, we ended up using your services for 3 1/2 years! Excellent service, we compared going to other units closer to our home, this was the best deal for us. Thanks!
I would not recommend a U-haul Lock too anyone. But the lot was standard and the staff was always friendly and helpful :
All staff very helpful, and everything was up to par.
If a real person reads this you will want to know about my experiance at U-Haul in Eureka, CA. Feel free to contact me. Not bad just very different.
Other then the two small doors, the space was clean and any problems we had were dealt with immediately.
Good service and very nice people to talk to! Answered all my ?`s I am very satisfied!! Thank you
Unsure of the lady`s name but she was very friendly and proffesional. My experience with obtaining a storage unit was excellent.
Great experience. Great that I could access information online.
Thank u
Felt very welcomed
Facility and staff all great. Staff was exceptional. Chris, Rick and Camel very customer service oriented. The rent is too high for long term storage. Found nicer, newer location for 25% less.
Excellent and personable service. They made the whole process very easy and were very friendly throughout my entire time there.
U-Haul was very good to me....but I have told them I moved out and I still am in the system....I need to be removed. Thanks again,
it was difficult as there was no restroom. other than that is was good. they didnt have the truck i needed the morning of the move
what a lousy experience to have your employees dump a 15 pound bag of feces out side my motorhome and deny my 24-access while i was working nights
Chris was exceptionally helpful. What a wonderful stress free experience he provided. A real asset to this particular facility. Thank you!
4.7 stars

Debra was really nice just like everyone else there.
Your staff, Mr. Kenny demonstrates true professionalism. We are ever greatful and willing to recommend your facility to friends.
Barry Ogalue
I really like the service. Its awsome.
Debra and Camille were both pleasures to deal with. Great team work and customer service!
very nice facility
The staff was very helpful and friendly and the area clean and well kept.
This facility was fantastic!Suprised when the manager offered us bottled water while unloading.That kind of customer service is why I came from Orangevale to S. Sacramento to get storage.Thanks Deb!
the staff went above and beyond service, i have rented from the same people for the last couple of years and i would recommend them to everyone i know. thank you very much.
the only problem was when the gate didn`t open after hours but lucky the owner came and let me in, so that was helpful. Thank you for your help. Chris was extremely helpful.
Sarah was very sweet helpful. but hard on herself. She was apologetic to everyone because `she is on training`...I told her it takes time and everyone should understand and not to stress so much.
The people at this property were excellent and very friendly.
The guy behind the counter was awesome, very professional and very polite and friendly! It was a very positive experience!
Debbie is the best! Staff were friendly and personable. :
Friendly, helpful and even notified me when I left the door to the storage unit unlocked. Thanks!!
Camillia was a helpful person who made my day brighter
Wow, I had a great experience with Debbie. She puts customer experience at the top of her list, going above beyond my expectations. I`d definitely choose this location again!
The management was curteous and accomodating.
Thank You very much Debra Cobianco for being so helpful. You guys stayed open for me a little later to accommodate my moving experience. You made sure everything was working and right for me.
I liked the service very much, there were a few small issues, but they were resolved professionally without complications. Keep up the good job guys/gals ^_^
Excellent Service. You made tough times much easier. You have a new customer for life. Thank you.
Debra Cobianco was great! Thank you sooo much!
Lee, who worked behind the counter, gave me a great experience in renting a storage space. He has excellent customer service skills and is very friendly and helpful.
Thank you so much for taking such good care of my Mom`s stuff. We moved out to set up an apartment. We will definately be back.
The staff were very helpful I got the best customer service ever.Keep up the good work.I can highly recommend Uhaul to all my friends.
I submitted a reservation online and received a confirmation phone call within a short period of time, which was very nice.
Your manager and associate team are very good. I noticed them in the yard constantly. They were able to help me in many ways.
it`s too bad this u-haul storage facility isn`t a 5 star hotel,
it is staffed appropriately. I would recommend a storage unit and d truck rental simply for the top service they provide.
I have been using Uhaul storage for about 2 years, and they have all been friendly and helpful, especially with the move to a smaller unit. Debbie and staff are terrific.
It is very convenient for my needs.
Debie and her staff do an amazing job...
I left only because the rates were too high and unmanagable. Your service friendly and professional and your facilities were appropriate for my needs. I thank you for your help and understanding.
Very good experience. Trailer in excellent condition. Staff very friendly and helpful. This is my second time at this facility and both times have been equally satisfying.
great people here at this storage!! Very helpful friendly
I was impresse with the Customer Srv Rep Lee Lor. He helped us to avoid a disaster. Customer Service at its best! My sister and I will both recommend your company again.
Very pleased. Parking here is a bit awkward, but other than that, all was well.
Debbie was friendly VERY helpful! Went out of her way to help. when you are moving across state lines it`s nice to know there are nice people where you are headed.This Uhaul was amazing!
Staff always friendly and professional. Thank you very much.

Camilla Chris were very professional courteous. I didn`t have to wait or track anyone down. Friendly, efficient, no surprises. Chris even made sure we were okay after our 2nd load. Thanks
Best service I`ve ever had at a storage service. Chris went above and beyond in every aspect. I will tell everyone about this uhaul.
the staff is very friendly and helpful. my only complaint is that uhaul took away the repeat customer for renting trucks/trailers so i have to go through the whole process in renting a trailer.
Thanks Debra for all your help with my storage needs. I will be back if ever in need of storage again. Great location with wonderful staff.
Thanks Uhaul

Guess you don`t want to know truth. Woman good. Man not. Did hookup wrong. Chains came loose. Could have killed us.

If you have been using the Windows operating quite some time, you will have no problem figuring out how to restore Windows 7 after installing Windows 8, right?
Not so fast! If you are among the more tech savvy, then you may be able to figure it out. However, not all Windows users are as savvy as the average Silicon Valley computer wizard. So if you are one of those who are proficient in using Windows, but find restoring Windows 7 on your system a bit challenging, the following instructions will be quite helpful.
If you have not installed or downloaded Windows 8 yet, there are a couple of important factors that you need to know and consider. Windows 8 Consumer Preview is an unfinished program and should only be installed by experienced or advanced computer users, as it cannot be uninstalled once you install it.
Second, since it is still a test product and not fully developed yet, you might experience some software problems like incorrect installation of antivirus programs and network access problems. It can cause even your computer to crash; therefore, it is advisable to create a back-up before installing. If possible, don't install it on a computer where important files are stored.
Steps to Restore Windows 7
There are two ways to properly restore Windows 7 to your computer-automatically and manually. However, do not forget the basic rule of thumb when installing any new Windows software; back up your files first before proceeding to installation.
The easiest way to restore Windows 7 after installing Windows 8 is to use your retail install disks-if you have them, of course. The steps are simple. Insert the disk, restart the computer, boot from the start and wait for the reinstallation process.
However, if you don't have the retail disks, you can restore Windows 7 manually by using the following steps.
- Step 1: Even though you cannot uninstall Windows 8 Consumer Preview, you can begin your restoration process by clicking "My Computer" first on the Start menu. Once you're there, double-click the" Local Disk C: "and locate the "Windows.OLD" folder.
- If the 'Windows.OLD" folder does not exist, you cannot proceed to Step 2. What you have to do is first create a back-up disk. Then you can transfer or restore your files into your old OS.
- Step 2: Once you have located the "Windows.OLD" folder, right-click it and choose "Properties". This will help you determine how much free space the "Windows.OLD" folder has. If the free space of the "Windows.OLD" folder is larger, then you may not be able to restore Windows 7.
- Step 3: Insert the Windows 7 disk or USB and restart your computer when prompted to begin the installation process.
- Step 4: When you see the Install Windows Box. Select your preferred settings which include the language and time. On the left side at the bottom, you can see the prompt "Repair your computer", click it.
- Step 5: Once the dialog box System Recovery Options appears, click Windows 8 Developer Preview and then click on Next.
- Step 6: After clicking on Next, you will see the Command Prompt. Click that because this is what you are going to use to restore Windows 7.
Restoring Windows 7 using the Command Prompt
Once you are in the Command Prompt, type the drive where you installed Windows 8. In most cases, you can find it in drive C. However, there are some cases where it is located in drive D. Just type this command: C:>d: and follow the steps.
Step 1: Copy or move the contents to the "Windows.OLD" folder and enter the following commands. Just a note: always press ENTER after each command.
move /y D:windows.oldwindows D:
move /y "D:windows.oldprogram files" D:
move /y D:windows.oldusers D:
Step 2: Go to the Windows 7 installation drive and scan which drive this is located. Once you determine which drive it is, type the following command if you are using Windows Vista – D:bootbootsect /nt60 c:
If you are using other versions of the Windows operating system, type this command: D:bootbootsect /nt52 c:
Step 3: After this, type the command bootbootsect /nt60 D: to restore the boot sector of the previous installation.
Step 4: To finish the restoration process, type Exit and then restart your computer.
Do not forget to take the disk out before restarting. By following the step-by-step guidelines above, you will be able to restore Windows 7 back to your PC in no time, even after installing Windows 8.

Vegemite abroad: how do you market a product people hate?
EVEN symbols of national pride face the forces of globalisation. Long-time Australian staple Vegemite is struggling. Any foreigner who has spent time in Australia or Britain (home of close cousin Marmite) has probably encountered the savoury spread and recoiled. It seems strange, and even second generation immigrants have a similar reaction.
At Artamon Public School on Sydney's North Shore, where about half the children are of Asian origin, Vegemite is losing the battle for the young taste buds of increasingly worldly pupils. Kids in the school's cafeteria shun Vegemite sandwiches for new delicacies like "Want Want" rice crackers, Singapore noodles and honey-soy chicken, said mother-of-three Margaret Heppell and volunteer school cafeteria manager, who served 20,000 meals to kids last year. "If you didn't have Vegemite as a child yourself, I can't imagine you would feed it to your own children."
To combat lagging sales Vegemite first tried tinkering with the product to appeal to a larger audience. But like many well-loved brands who altered their original formula, that wasn't so successful. Now Vegemite is embracing globalisation by marketing to Australians abroad. It may also want to follow Marmite's lead—playing up the nostalgia factor on social media.
Or, the by-product of beer brewing with a disturbingly long shelf-life might try to appeal to an up-market global audience (go long on the idea that foodies will eat anything declared trendy):
For some people, Vegemite's strong flavor offers a uniquely Australian gastronomic opportunity. Chase Kojima, the San Francisco-born chef at Sydney's Sokyo Restaurant, pairs Moreton Bay bugs—a type of flathead lobster—with burnt butter mayonnaise, passion fruit jelly and Vegemite croutons.
"Being from the U.S., I didn't understand Vegemite at first. After experimenting with it in my cooking, I can now appreciate the flavor," said the 29-year-old chef. "It has similarities with umami flavors, very much like miso in Japanese cooking."
This may be the make or break moment for Vegemite. Globalisation often means that local products fade into obscurity, if they're inferior, or go big abroad, if there's a market.

The moon is our closest neighbor, and the only space object ever visited by man. In commemoration of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin's first steps on the moon in 1969, July 20th is celebrated as Moon Day.
Enchanted Learning: The Moon4 stars
Nicely illustrated and appropriately hotlinked, Enchanted Learning's The Moon is perfect for elementary students. In addition to links within the article, you can visit related topics (such as Lunar Eclipses and Tides) listed in the horizontal menu. But don't leave until you scroll down the page to the Activities section to find two moon coloring pages and two moon quizzes (one interactive, the other printable.)
Exploring the Moon4 stars
From Apollo (manned American flights from 1969 to 1972) to Zond (unmanned Soviet Union missions from 1965 to 1970), the research staff at the Lunar and Planetary Institute covers man's exploration of the moon. Each of the major missions is summarized, and even possible future missions are discussed. Since I was a teen during the Apollo 11 mission, I found The Decision to Go to the Moon (with oodles of links to speeches and other primary sources) fascinating.
Inconstant Moon5 stars
Before stepping out to observe the moon tonight, take a moment to find out what's visible. Click on Lunar Tours, then select today's date on the monthly calendar. "The Moon is the most easily observable astronomical object, and also the most rewarding. For the beginner, it is a breathtaking spectacle through even a modest optical instrument, and as the knowledge and resources of the astronomer increase, it will continue to provide fascinating new challenges and insights. Inconstant Moon is intended as both an introduction to lunar astronomy for the beginner, and an ongoing reference point for the more experienced observer."
Nova Online: To The Moon5 stars
To The Moon "chronicles the untold science and engineering story of how we got to the moon." It was built as a companion to the 1999 PBS television special of the same name, but you don't need to have seen the show to visit the site. Hot clicks are Lunar Puzzlers ("How long is a moon day?"), Explore the Moon (walk on the moon through the magic of QuickTime VR) and Hear the Space Pioneers (audio interviews with Buzz Aldrin, Jim Lovell and others.)
StarDate Online: Moon Phase Calendar4 stars
In the "a picture is worth a thousand words" category is this beautiful Moon Phase Calendar from StarDate. Visit to see what phase the moon is in tonight (and every night this month) and to explore the rest of the StarDate site. Additional moon articles can be found by clicking Resources / Solar System Guide / Earth's Moon. "Earth and its Moon are relatively close in size, but the similarities end there The Moon has no atmosphere and very weak gravity."

Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, also called robotic prostatectomy, is a procedure to remove the prostate in which a surgeon uses a sophisticated, computer-enhanced system to guide the surgical tools.
Robotic prostatectomy is an option for men with prostate cancer. During the procedure, the surgeon removes the prostate and, in some cases, the surrounding lymph nodes.
Robotic prostatectomy allows a surgeon to use smaller and more precise movements, which translates into smaller incisions, less blood loss and the likelihood of a faster overall recovery.
During robotic prostatectomy, your surgeon sits at a remote control console a short distance from you and the operating table and precisely controls the motion of the surgical instruments using two hand-and-finger control devices. The console displays a magnified, 3-D view of the surgical area that enables the surgeon to visualize the procedure in much greater detail than in traditional laparoscopic surgery.
The surgeon can make incisions with great precision, which often leads to fast healing. The robotic approach also enables nerve-sparing techniques that may preserve both sexual potency and continence in the appropriately selected person.
Robotic prostatectomy can result in reduced pain and blood loss, a shorter hospital stay, and a quicker recovery period than a traditional prostatectomy. You usually can return to normal activity, with minor restrictions, two to four weeks after surgery.

Should I take History GCSE?
Should I take History as a GCSE?
The two most important questions you need to consider when deciding whether to take history or not are
· Do I enjoy the subject?
· Am I good at the subject?
If the answer to both those questions is yes, then the answer to the big question is also probably yes! You know the answer to the first question and you should know the answer to the second question, but you should ask your history teacher for advice if you are unsure. There are also some other important things to consider when making your final choice...
I want to be a doctor/engineer/nail beautician/circus freak. I like history, but it doesn't fit with my career plans. What should I do?
It is true that History lends itself more easily to reading/writing/research based careers like Law and Journalism, but there is no reason why history shouldn't fit with any career ambition. History is an academic subject and one of the subjects that comprises the new English Baccalaureate, as such it is respected by employers, colleges and universities alike. We have had students study History at A level who have gone on to study Medicine and Art and Design at University. A Levels tend to be the time to specialise and select courses appropriate to your ambition. At GCSE you have much more freedom in your choices. And if you want to be a circus freak, your GCSE choices won't matter, you were just born that way.
What careers does it fit well with?
History at GCSE opens up A Level courses in English Literature and Language, Law, Media Studies, Psychology, Sociology, Politics, Philosophy and Performance Studies. In terms of degree it has strong links to Law, English Literature, Economics and Politics with many Universities offering Joint Honours degrees in these subjects. It is also strongly associated with Journalism, Media and Education.
Is it hard? I've heard it's hard.
There's no denying history is a demanding subject, but that's what makes it worth doing. If you are good at history then you won't find it hard. If you have no problem with reading and revising information, it's not hard. If you can write well, it's not hard. If you can think for yourself, you'll be fine. If any of those things bring you out in a cold sweat, then it might be worth considering a subject with more colouring in.
Is it like Year 9?
In many ways its very similar. The skills you were taught in year 9, like source analysis and essay writing are developed at GCSE. Along with learning the facts of what actually happened, these are the two most important skills you'll be taught. In terms of the content, it's more detailed than in year 9. You'll be expected to learn key dates, names and events and be able to explain them. That's not to say its all writing all the time...
Is it all writing, all the time?
No. Just like in years 7 to 9, we appreciate that everyone learns in different ways and we try and keep as much active learning in the lessons as we possibly can when covering content. That said, history is a written subject that requires you write extended answers and essays. You will be taught how to write appropriately structured and detailed answers.
What if I mess up? Can I retake?
GCSE History is modular. You will sit your Unit 1 exam at the end of year 10. If you do choke for whatever reason, you will have the chance to resit Unit 1 at the end of year 11. This is not an excuse to cruise through year 10 - this is a reason to work hard. If you ace the exam in year 10, that's nearly 40% of your exam in the bag and an hour and 45 minutes of hell you won't have to go through again, not to mention the extra stress of revising for a retake alongside all of your other exams in year 11. You cannot resit Unit 2.
Are there any trips?
Yes. We go on a day trip Ypres in Belgium to visit the war graves of Tyne Cot and Langmark, a recreated World War One trench complex in Sanctuary Wood and the town of Ypres itself in what has become a firmly established favourite of students and staff. We also go on a field trip to the Imperial War Museum to help prepare students for their coursework.
What kind of grade could I get?
All students take the same examination papers and can achieve any grade up to an A*.
Do we have coursework?
Yes. Unit 3 is assessed by controlled assessment. Students will write one 800 word essay and one 1200 word essay. These are internally assessed and moderated.
