Steve Zika - Public money wasted
I read the Nov. 13 OPB article about the battle in Newport, written by Amelia Templeton, with a mix of sadness and "I told you so."
Last year, I testified at an Oregon Transportation Commission hearing that using public funds to support the log-export yard was poor public policy for Oregon. Port of Newport officials assured the commission that this public money would create numerous jobs involving many export products.
What a surprise: Only out-of-staters with narrow self-interests want to sell their raw logs to China. Adding insult to injury, they need more public assistance for dredging.
Raw log exports from the West Coast are on pace to exceed 2 billion board feet in 2013, equaling the raw material needs of 25 large, domestic sawmills. Results include a log shortage for domestic sawmills and the highest log prices in the world, as Oregon's family-owned sawmills struggle to stay in business.
Logs shipped to China are run through antiquated Chinese sawmill equipment by workers with substandard wages and rudimentary safety practices — nothing for Oregon to feel proud about.
Contrast that scenario with our Tillamook sawmill facility, which drew praise from the Oregon Environmental Quality Commission during a recent tour. In the past decade, the Hampton family has invested millions to improve the efficiency of the sawmill, make products we can sell globally, and assure the safety and environmental footprint of the facility. We pay family wages to all 140 employees and provide excellent health care and retirement packages.
Tillamook Lumber once employed well over 200 people, but today we can't find enough logs at a price that allows us to make a profit. Environmental litigation has mostly locked up the federal forests and limited the harvest of state forests to lower than sustainable levels for Oregon sawmills.
Our company invested heavily to modernize our sawmills, developing the infrastructure and relationships overseas to sell finished lumber from our Oregon mills to markets in Japan, China, Taiwan, Korea, etc.
However, with public timber harvests down, log exports to Asia surging and demand diminished by reduced housing starts, we operate our Pacific Northwest sawmills at only 65 percent of capacity.
At Tillamook, we donated money for a new library and a football field, and helped with efforts to pass school property tax measures. We supported the rebuilding of Vernonia School and helped pay for training future workers in electrical and mechanical skills at Tillamook Community College.
Oregon's family-owned sawmill businesses have a long history of investing in their local communities; the same cannot be said for out-of-state log exporters.
Some of these landowners represent investment money from all over the world and seem to be interested only in getting the maximum price for their logs by selling to Asian customers. They pull logs out of the Pacific Northwest "wood basket," decreasing the local supply while keeping domestic log prices too high for existing lumber-market conditions.
Do we really believe the Chinese will continue to pay extraordinarily high prices for Oregon's private logs after our domestic sawmill industry is decimated? Once the local industry is destroyed, Oregon's private forest landowners will likely be forced to convert forestlands to nonforest uses because their customer base will be inadequate to support sustainable forest management.
This log export activity may add a few port jobs to ship raw logs to Asia, but a much larger group of Oregon's sawmill workforce will disappear. I believe in free trade, but it is not fair trade when the Chinese subsidize raw material imports to create low-wage jobs in China.
Unfortunately, the ports in Newport and Astoria do not have the infrastructure to economically load the value-added lumber we produce and ship using containers. So once again, the sawmills and our workers will take it on the chin.
What kind of public policy is this for Oregon? As more domestic sawmills close, the United States will be forced to buy additional lumber from Canada. With all our underutilized natural resources, it is disgusting that we have to buy 35 percent of our lumber from Canada while we ship privately-owned logs to Asia.
Sawmill operations generate indirect jobs in industries providing supplies, trucking lumber, or selling residuals to pulp or particleboard mills. Don't assume log exporting creates additional jobs in the woods, since those jobs will be there whether the logs are harvested for domestic or export use.
I applaud local citizens who understand the downside of log exports out of Newport and have stood up in opposition. It makes no sense for Oregon from either an environmental or an economic standpoint.
As I understand it, the final hurdle for proponents of the Newport yard is to obtain permission from the DEQ and State Land Board for dredging Yaquina Bay.
Now is the time for public officials to stand up for local jobs producing value-added products. Can we really afford to trade family-wage jobs for foreign log sales that leave Oregon poorer in so many ways? Please shut off the public funds for this unsustainable activity

Barrington kids get treated to holiday crafts
Sunday, December 9, 2012
BARRINGTON — As if they were Santa's elves themselves, kids from Barrington worked on making a variety of holiday-themed crafts on Saturday morning.
Barrington Daisy Troop Leader Kim Gibson said almost all of the scouts showed up to help make crafts with other kids.
Sarah Soulieri, a junior girl scout, said she liked the workshop because they could work with other kids and make crafts at the same time.

After unveiling the brand new film for the fragrance Dior Homme starring Robert Pattinson, DiorMag takes a sneak peek at the secret workings of the filming process and invites you to discover the making of the campaign.
It's an overwhelming desire he'd had for a long time: more than anything Robert Pattinson wanted to work with the director Romain Gavras. A major fan of the film maker's raw, edgy aesthetic, it was the British actor who personally suggested the name of the son of Costa-Gavras to Dior for the filming of the new Dior Homme campaign. Together, they began a new chapter in the fragrance's history, writing it in black and white, a chromatic contrast that gives the resulting images a heightened effect. Romain Gavras' unrestrained, feverish camera style provided the perfect tool to lay raw Robert Pattinson's offhand, provocative power. Remaining faithful to his reputation as a controversial music video maker (he's worked with the likes of Jay Z, M.I.A, Justice), Romain Gavras has created a faced-paced, breathless film, where the images, snatched moments speeding past, segue into each other as an expression of our two heroes' swelling thirst for experiencing life.
It's the turn of photographer Nan Goldin to capture Robert Pattinson's seductive power. The American artist, famous for her on-the-wing snapshots of 1980s New York, is the creator of the campaign portraits. Bathed in a warm, amber light, a quite sensual tone, she captures Robert Pattinson's on-edge intensity, immortalizing his impulsive, electric charisma.

|Dick Monfort
That was the main reason why I wrote about an initiative that might have a sliver of a chance of forcing changes in the Rockies front office. Last Wednesday I wrote about an idea to not boycott the Rockies by not purchasing tickets and going to games, but instead, reaching out to corporate sponsors and telling them that it is time that they quit supporting the Rockies.
It was less about trying to force change than it was about making the Rockies see that fans aren't going to take this type of behavior from this ownership group and front office. The Rockies, while they are a private enterprise, have an obligation to listen to their fans, who not only have loyally supported this club since 1993, but supported a tax that helped build the Rockies their beautiful ballpark that produces so much revenue for the club.
When I wrote the piece, I expected snide comments about how ridiculous the idea was and how no one would ever do this, and how corporate sponsors wouldn't care. Instead, I got inundated with Rockies fans who were eager to take a shot at this idea. One fan in particular, Kevin Doran, emailed me with a list of Rockies sponsors and as much information about how to contact those sponsors.
I was shocked at his dedication. He gave me a great place to start. However, I didn't expect what I received next. On Friday, Kevin reached back out and told me that not only had he emailed the contact that he found from Comfort Dental, but that a high-up official from the Rockies, not Dick Monfort, but someone close to that level, reached out to set up a meeting to discuss the email within an hour of him pushing send on his original note to Comfort Dental.
The meeting between the two will take place on Wednesday, and if I am guessing, Kevin will get a lecture on how this isn't the way to go about voicing disapproval and that he should use other means, rather than calling out corporate sponsors.
However, what this situation shows is that the idea works. The Rockies taking quick action shows that it hit a sore spot for them. When was the last time a fan refused to attend games in protest and a member of the front office reached out to that fan? When was the last time a media member suggested that fans stop going to games and the Rockies tried to squelch the idea? However, one fan sends one email to one corporate sponsor and he receives a call within an hour.
Rockies fans have had their hands tied. Losing 100 games won't do anything to help Dick Monfort make a huge decision because, simply said, he doesn't know enough about baseball to realize the significance of losing 100. Even if he did, he wouldn't know what to do if he didn't have Dan O'Dowd to tell him how to think about baseball.
The only answer is to make Monfort realize that fans aren't happy about the way things are going. If fans are irate enough to contact his sponsors, the bread and butter of this team's revenue, then it might be time to save face and make changes just to appease the fans.
If one email made an impact, what if 100 people sent a simple email to a few of these sponsors? It wouldn't take even one of the sponsors pulling money back in 2015, even the threat of it might force the issue for the Rockies.
It is time for Rockies fans to find out. If you are willing, pick three or four of the companies that Kevin Doran sent to me. Write them a respectful, yet direct email about being offended that they would sponsor an organization in which the owner disrespects his fans, even going to the point of telling them not to come or that the team should leave town. When called out, this same owner denies that he meant what was clearly stated in the email. Make it clear that what Monfort did was offensive and that aligning their brand with him is a black mark on their business.
Again, the key is to be respectful. Fans should be positive about the company and what they do. It isn't the brand that fans are upset about, it is the Rockies, and the Rockies alone. The company that sponsors the Rockies hasn't done anything wrong, but they should be told that their strong reputation in the community should make them avoid aligning with the Rockies.

I myself didn't even care about the available titles on the Linux beta Steam, I just wanted to see how the app itself worked. It might aswell be most Linux gamers have tried out the beta out of curiosity. Or it might be most stayed with Wine (or Windows) simply because they weren't running Ubuntu and didn't want "hacks" or betas.

Sorry for going on a rant, but been a gamer and an IT, even if mainly a Linux user and want to become a Linux admin (just don't think I am ready to do it in a professional environment), I kind of get stuck with Windows.
1) Early adopters had their time by now. And if not, next survey will show those numbers correctly. Next bump should be visible when Valve officially bless Steam on other distros. (Personally I await port of steam for MeeGo for Nexus tablets :P)
2) Other (those who will actually wont to PLAY GAMES) will come with games. And those will take their time. 2y for writing multiplatform game. So OSX will have them faster than any Linux. On the other hand I do await for games that DO NOT AGE so much. Like old titles (bundles with wine and/or dosbox), or games based on constant refinements by DLC's and expansions (Like HoI3, EUIV, CKII, and other Paradox Interactive productions.) So when I buy them I still can enjoy up-to-date game. (And CKII should have its Linux port!!)
Commander Keen 6 was so much better than 2.(And CKII should have its Linux port!!)

Tilefish, Golden
The Golden Tilefish is a long-lived and slow growing deep-water species that lives near the bottom of the sea. It is found along the Atlantic coast of North America and throughout the Gulf of Mexico.
The population is divided into three regions for management purposes: the mid-Atlantic, South Atlantic, and the Gulf of Mexico. For all regions there are uncertainties as to what the current abundance level is, but overall abundance appears to be at medium levels. Management measures for this species include annual catch quotas, limited entry into the fishery, gear restrictions, and protected areas.
The majority of Golden Tilefish are taken with bottom longlines, which likely has moderate habitat impacts. Bycatch in this fishery appears to be relatively low.
This fish may have high levels of mercury that could pose a health risk to adults and children. More info here about mercury in Tilefish. Check out our mercury in seafood section.

Their life as wanderers is not easy. Confucius withstands both temptations and hardships, and is more than once forced to flee when another local war breaks out. Eventually, many years later, he is invited back to Lu, once again threatened by a political coup. But he agrees to return only as a teacher, refusing to involve himself in politics, and spends his declining years studying and collating the classics. History records that he died a disappointed man, but his work outlived the "Spring and Autumn Period" in which he lived and echoed through the dynasties to become the very bedrock of Chinese civilization. This film tells the story of the turbulent life and stirring times of the greatest sage and teacher ever known.

Chair's Corner
Welcome to the Wright State University Chemistry Department website. I am very excited about the recent developments within the department and how this has positioned us for further success. Recently, we have renovated completely the vast majority of our teaching laboratories and all of our research and administrative spaces. The result is a cutting-edge environment for research and teaching. The recent addition of two faculty members and more than fifteen new instruments for teaching and research has bolstered further our capabilities, especially in the nanotechnology and computational arenas. Coupled with our long-standing strengths in applied areas such as macromolecular and environmental chemistries and our strong commitment to the traditional core areas, this provides a unique learning environment.
With 16 faculty, 4 support staff members, 80-100 undergraduate and 30-40 M.S. students annually, the department is sufficiently large to offer a current experience to our students, but small enough to provide an environment where each student is recognized as an individual.
I encourage you explore our website and to visit if you are in the area. I'd be delighted to show you around and tell you more about our programs, faculty and students.
Dr. David Grossie, Department Chair

Hi: 10° Lo:2°
By Carl Jackson Friday 07 December 2012 Updated: 14/12 12:29
CALLS have been made by Mid Worcestershire MP Peter Luff to ban riot training being sold as an entertainment experience in Droitwich.
Mr Luff expressed his 'profound fears' and said he would be appealing to the Home Secretary to get the package stopped immediately.
The days out, offered for £79 by Wish.co.uk at Rushock Trading Estate on the Droitwich Road, involve participants learning how to control unruly crowds, before swapping over and becoming the rioters themselves.
They don full body armour and are armed with 4ft riot shields and batons. The equipment is identical to that used by British Army and Metropolitan Police.
It is the first of its kind in the country and Wish's third most popular seller behind 'Zombie Battle London' and 'Zombie Boot Camp'.
The advert on the company's website states: "There is nothing more embarrassing than turning up to police a riot and realising you haven't grasped basic etiquette.
"In this full throttle experience, the mysteries, intrigues and fundamental steps of basic riot control will be revealed.
"Who runs at who, good/bad things to wave about and which way up to hold your riot shield."
It paints a vivid picture of what customers can expect on the day.
"All hell breaks loose - you'll stand firm as you come under a barrage of debris, advancing forward as smoke swirls around your waist.
"Brace yourselves as petrol bombs are thrown. Noise, fire, smoke and fear are the main ingredients."
Mr Luff said he had relayed concerns from residents to the West Mercia Police's Chief Constable and questioned whether
the 'experience' was even legal.
"I can see why people would be outraged.
"It is not a good idea to teach people how to riot, nor is it sensible to teach people to understand police tactics." said Mr Luff.
"Are they just harmless adrenaline days out which are on the extreme side but acceptable? Or are they, as I believe, a serious threat to public order?
"After last summer's riots, we should certainly not being helping people to understand how to riot better - but that appears to be exactly what's happening in Worcestershire right now." he added.
A statement from Wish denied the company was inciting a riot or encouraging people to break the law and argued the experience was controlled at every stage by professionals.
A spokesman said: "We understand why people think it's controversial.
"But if we can let people skydive, shoot guns or battle the undead - why not let them see what life is like behind the thin blue line too."
He added Wish aimed to offer the most unusual experiences in the world but took safety very safely, employing Police and Military experts to run proceedings.
He said they were 'highly selective' about people allowed to take part and had the right to reserve bookings if necessary.

Clorox's Brita skillfully exploits a tide of water safety concerns, growing a home water (filtration) business from inception to a 15% U.S. household penetration in ten years. The dilemma in the case arises as the period of increasing returns seems to be drawing to a close, and management must use its legacy, an installed based and a strong brand equity, to take the business forward into a less friendly environment. Students can model the relation between the primary demand for pitchers and the derived demand for filters to decide where they want to put future investments.
learning objective:
Allows students to explore the economics of acquisition and retention, installed base marketing, and lifetime customer value calculation.
subjects covered:
Barriers to entry; Black markets; Demographics; Foreign investments; Marketing management; Mergers & acquisitions; New product marketing; Present value; Return on investment; Risk mitigation; Test markets; Total customer value; Value chains; Workplace health & safety

Habitat for Wildlife
Do you feed birds? Have you placed nest boxes around your house for animals to live in? Have you planted flowers and shrubs that attract butterflies, birds and other wildlife? If you use these or other ways to invite wildlife to your backyard, then you are already a part of Maryland's Wild Acres! Visit the Wild Acres site to learn more about common backyard wildlife and ways to attract them to your habitat.
On a larger scale, the DNR's Wildlife and Heritage Service regional staff can help provide advice on how to create a buffer of warm season grasses, leave corn or wheat standing to feed migrating Canada Geese, restore a field to wetland, or make a perfect home for wild turkeys. For a list of regional offices, then please click here. Hundreds of farmers and landowners help Maryland's native and visiting wildlife find the habitat (food, water and cover) they need to survive.
There are several programs that provide management incentives for landowners who wish to become part of an important and growing network of private citizens who are helping to create and protect habitat for Maryland's wildlife. These programs include the Landowner Incentive Program and the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP).
Landowner Incentive Program
The Landowner Incentive Program (LIP) is a voluntary state program that provides landowners with incentives to help conserve habitat for species-at-risk in the state of Maryland. With funding from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the goal of the program is to provide cost-share assistance to private landowners to protect, enhance, and restore habitat for rare, threatened, and endangered species. Each project can be specifically designed to incorporate various management techniques to best suit the landowner's desires and the wildlife present. Projects can include, but are not limited to, fencing, stream bank stabilization, erosion control, buffer strips, conversion to native grasses, and removal of invasive species. Landowners can get assistance from state biologists on how to best manage the lands for wildlife. Habitat improvements will not only benefit a variety of associated species-at-risk, but also help to improve land quality and sustainability for local residents.
Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program
The Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) grew out of increasing recognition that wetlands and lands adjacent to streams (riparian areas) and other water bodies have a tremendous impact on water quality and provide critical wildlife habitat. These important conservation areas can be protected and restored in many ways. Under CREP, landowners contract with USDA through their local Farm Service Agency (FSA) to receive annual rental payments, plus bonuses, for taking land out of production and installing conservation practices adjacent to waterways.

I have come to a stopping point in my research of my family tree and was wondering if anyone could help.
My great grandparents came to England from Cassino around 1880-1895, I can find information about them once they are in England, marriage, births etc, but nothing before. My great grandfathers name was Benedetto Tomasso, and my great grandmother was Maria Nicola Pollechia.
Would anyone be able to advise where I can try and find some information regarding their life before coming to England? Does anyone know if any records still exist pre 1940 in Cassino as I know a lot of the town was bombed so dont know if any records survived.
If anyone has any information, please email me on email@example.com
Kind regards and thanks

3002 Third Age
Oh, Béma!
"Retreat!" I shout. "Ambush!"
'Tis a relief to hear a horn convey the command rearwards. Some of my men may yet escape....
But they are too many.... "Fight! For the Mark!"
I think of my family, and grimace as I recall spinning fireside tales about the Grey Ghostriders. But only trusting children can rely on rescuers from legend....
The Orc-swarm closes in.
Ne'er will I see my fiery Éowyn grow, nor fearless Éomer become captain. Let his reputation not bear the brand of my rashness....
The blackened Orc-blade finds its mark at last.
Remember me, Théodwyn, my love!

Pride and Despair
2. Author's Notes
What is this, movie-verse or book-verse?
Some people have noted that some of the lines in this story are similar to lines in the movies, particularly Denethor's "Move your feet!" in the first flashback and "They [the palantíri] are not all accounted for" in the third flashback. This has led them to think (incorrectly) that this story is movie-verse. It isn't. I have always loved "The Pyre of Denethor" in Tolkien's The Return of the King, and I doubt any adaptation, film or otherwise, could ever do that chapter justice. I have also drawn on the palantíri essay in Unfinished Tales, comments about Denethor in the Appendices and in Tolkien's letters, and Tolkien's earlier drafts in HoMe. This piece is thoroughly based in book-verse, though I have drawn inspiration from movie-verse where the movies did not contradict the books.
I have actually borrowed many more quotes from the books than I did from the movies, but some of the book quotes are a little obscure. You might not catch them all if you're not as obsessed as I am.
Did all of these scenes really happen, in the books, or are you making some of them up?
All of these scenes are either described or implied by Tolkien in his books. The scenes between the flashbacks are based on this passage from The Return of the King:
"'Come hither!' he [Denethor] cried to his servants. 'Come, if you are not all recreant!' Then two of them ran up the steps to him. Swiftly he snatched a torch from the hand of one and sprang back into the house. Before Gandalf could hinder him he thrust the brand amid the fuel, and at once it crackled and roared into flame.
"Then Denethor leaped upon the table, and standing there wreathed in fire and smoke he took up the staff of his stewardship that lay at his feet and broke it on his knee. Casting the pieces into the blaze he bowed and laid himself on the table, clasping the palantír with both hands upon his breast." ("The Pyre of Denethor")
The first and second flashbacks are extrapolated from incidents described by Tolkien. In The Return of the King, Tolkien writes:
"Over all the Lady Éowyn wore a great blue mantle of the colour of deep summer-night, and it was set with silver stars about hem and throat. Faramir had sent for this robe and had wrapped it about her; and he thought that she looked fair and queenly indeed as she stood there at his side. The mantle was wrought for his mother, Finduilas of Amroth, who died untimely." ("The Steward and the King")
Similarly, Boromir's "how many years" question is described briefly in The Two Towers:
"This I remember of Boromir as a boy, when we together learned the tale of our sires and the history of our city, that always it displeased him that his father was not king. 'How many hundreds of years needs it to make a steward a king, if the king returns not?' he asked. 'Few years, maybe, in places of less royalty,' my father answered. 'In Gondor ten thousand years would not suffice.'" ("The Window on the West")
Tolkien never explicitly states that the incident in the third flashback occurred, but he did imply it:
"In the days of his wisdom Denethor did not presume to use it, nor to challenge Sauron, knowing the limits of his own strength. But his wisdom failed; and I [Gandalf] fear that as the peril of his realm grew he looked in the Stone and was deceived." ("The Pyre of Denethor", The Return of the King)
If Denethor challenged Sauron using the palantír, as Gandalf states he did, logically there must have been a first encounter.
Are you saying Denethor didn't really believe his answer to Boromir's question? That he lied to his sons?
I think it's entirely possible that Denethor did not mean his answers, but he had valid political reasons to give the answer he gave even if he did not believe it.
Do the colours mean anything specific?
Yes, on many different levels.
When the knights of Dol Amroth rescue Faramir on the Pelennor their banner is blue ("The Siege of Gondor"). Later, the Stewards' banner is described as "argent like snow in the sun, bearing no charge nor device" ("The Steward and the King"). Aragorn's banner is described as black: "He [Aragorn] bade Halbarad unfurl the great standard which he had brought; and behold! it was black, and if there was any device upon it, it was hidden in the darkness." ("The Passing of the Grey Company")
Outside of Tolkien, different colours carry different meanings for different people. Much of this symbolism is culturally-tied, and different readers may read different things into the colours. That's fine. But here's at least how I interpret these colours.
Blue is a colour of cleanliness. Think about the sky on a cloudless day, or a river or a lake that hasn't been polluted. In a way, it's innocence that hasn't been dirtied yet. But blue also represents sadness (if a person feels "blue", they may feel slightly depressed). The memory of Finduilas is a sad one, because Finduilas dies not long after this memory.
White also represents purity. But whereas a crystal-clear lake will clean itself to a certain extent, it takes more effort to keep a snowbank perfectly white. Any sort of stain shows much more plainly on white than on other colours. White is potential: a writer fills a white page, an artist covers a white canvas with other colours. When that potential is used, though, the object ceases to be white. As Saruman says to Gandalf, "White cloth may be dyed. The white page can be overwritten; and the white light can be broken." ("The Council of Elrond", The Fellowship of the Ring)
Black is the colour of night and shadow. In Middle-earth terms, black is often associated with Mordor. Even when it is not associated with evil, black is a very sober and reliable colour. It is the colour of Puritans and clergymen. It is the absence of light and so is the colour of nothingness. Black is, in a way, inescapable.
I also played with the heraldric symbolism of azure, argent, and sable in this story, and if you know something of these colours it might be interesting to consider this story in relation to those tinctures. You can find out more here and here. But as anyone who knows much about such things probably knows more than I do, I shall leave them to draw their own conclusions.

Why should I rent self storage in Phoenix?
There are plenty of great reasons to use self storage! Different people in all kinds of situations use storage units every single day. Students, people in the process of moving, and those who just want to reclaim their homes have all found Phoenix storage units to be an easy and affordable way to solve their storage problems. So if you need more space than you have currently, self storage is an incredible option.
What's the best storage unit size for me?
First off, it will be easiest to determine what storage unit size you need if you know what you're storing. Take inventory of your items to start, and you will have a much better idea of where you stand.
Next, check out our size estimator tool to see the types of items you can fit into each Phoenix storage unit size. For instance, a 5x5 unit can hold small furniture and some boxes. If you use the estimator tool and are still confused, you can always call one of our storage representatives or the facility you're interested in.
Which storage features are important?
Well, that all depends! Each person has different storage needs. Let's take a look though at some different situations to determine when and why you should consider certain storage features.
Do Phoenix storage facilities offer vehicle storage?
Yes! Vehicle storage is something that's incredibly handy but often forgotten as a storage option. Whether you have a classic car that needs to be stored with care or a boat or RV that's taking up too much space at home, there are plenty of great facilities that can help you with any vehicle storage needs. Some will even have options for indoor, outdoor, or covered vehicle storage.
What is mobile storage?
Mobile storage provides some unique benefits that other storage options can't. If you're moving, remodeling your home, or need storage temporarily, mobile storage can be very convenient. One of the biggest reasons to use mobile storage is that a mobile storage unit will be delivered to your home or office, and you can fill it up on your own time. After you're finished filling your mobile unit, you just call the storage provider and have them store it or deliver it elsewhere. It's that simple!
Are there any rent specials on USstoragesearch.com?
Absolutely! Many of the Phoenix self storage facilities on USstoragesearch.com offer incredible specials. Some offer as much as an entire month free or free moving truck with rental!

Pats head into playoffs with some 'mo'
Monday, December 31, 2012
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — So much for the Patriots' problems.
The Patriots began the day seeded third, but gained one of the AFC's two byes when they won after the AFC South champion Houston Texans lost and fell from first to third in the conference standings.
New England had trailed San Francisco 31-3 and Jacksonville 10-0 and sputtered at the start again on Sunday, turning the ball over on downs on its first possession and punting on its second.
Then it got a break and rolled the rest of the half.
Under heavy pressure, rookie Ryan Tannehill's pass was intercepted by Steve Gregory, who returned it 13 yards to the Miami 28. Gronkowski gained 19 yards on the first pass thrown to him. On the second play of the series, Brady connected with Welker over the middle for a milestone completion.
Brady moved into second place in NFL history with a touchdown pass in 48 consecutive games, breaking a tie with Hall of Famer Johnny Unitas. And Brady became the first player to throw at least one scoring pass in all 16 games for three straight seasons.
New England's top-rated offense got plenty of help from an improving defense.

Fiddler on the Roof
Fiddler on the Roof brought the shtetl--along with many memorable characters and unforgettable tunes--to the big screen.
Excerpted with permission from Reel Jewish (Jonathan David Publishers, Inc.).
The Jewish musical of all Jewish musicals hit the screen in 1971, three years after Funny Girl [a highly anticipated musical film starring Barbra Streisand] and with the same kind of anticipation. Actually, anticipation was even greater, since the stage version of Fiddler on the Roof was a bigger hit than Funny Girl, and the curiosity about how well the screen's Topol would measure up against the stage's Zero Mostel developed into an American-Jewish version of "Who shot J.R.?"
A story of Jewish traditions tenaciously clung to in the face of adversity; Fiddler on the Roof, written by Joseph Stein and directed by Norman Jewison, was blessed with a versatile, enthusiastic ensemble. It also boasted a marvelous Broadway score and an old world reality found and replicated by the production crew in realistic Yugoslavian locations and filmed with shades, tones, and colors specifically chosen to resemble a Marc Chagall painting.
Casting Tevye
In terms of production problems, why should Fiddler on the Roof be different from anyother movie musical? First, of course, there was the Tevye tribulation, and then the director dilemma. Many actors, including Mostel and Danny Thomas, lobbied hard for the part of the poor milkman with five daughters. But itwas the Israeli actor Topol--who had played Tevye for many years on the London stage--who won the coveted role. Many thought his more muted approach to the character (compared with Mostel's) would hurt the film. Topol, in turn, raised concerns that the studio's choice for director, the non-Jewish Jewison, might not be able to interpret the emotions or characters of the story properly.
Topol and Jewison, as it turned out, were both excellent choices.
The townsfolk of Anatevka, a Russian shtetl, or poor, tiny village, try to "scratch out a simple little tune without breaking their necks." Tevye's horse, though, breaks its leg, his daughters begin to break tradition--and his wife, Golde, would like to break his neck when he gives in to his daughters' marital whims.
But Tevye is not a broken man--a poor man, yes, but not a broken one. He has faith in his faith, and everything he does, including the songs he sings, speaks to that faith. He dreams of being a rich man so that he would have more time to sit in the synagogue and pray. He talks and even argues with God, coming to some very special realizations along the way. When his eldest daughter, Tzeitel, and her beau, Motel the tailor, tell him that they have given each other a pledge to marry without using a matchmaker, Tevye suddenly realizes that they are indeed using a matchmaker--the same one used by Adam and Eve--and he takes comfort in that.
