We studied biomass and macronutrient content ofHalodule wrightii (shoalgrass) throughout the winter and ofThalassia testudinum (turtlegrass) andSyringodium filiforme (manateegrass) in January in Chandeleur Sound, LouisianaHalodule, the primary fcod of wintering redheads, had the lowest biomass of the three species on the study area in mid-winter. Macronutrient content ofHalodule did not change during the winter, but aboveground and belowground biomass showed a 90 and 49% (P<0.0001) decrease from October to March. Macronutrient content seems not to be the basis for selection by redheads ofHalodule over the other two seagrass species or of selection of belowground over aboveground parts.

Problems WSing Sweet Peas,Nasturtiums,Four O'clocks
I would like to know if anyone has or is experiencing difficulties with winter sowing these three plants.
For several years I could not get these plants to germinate during the spring/summer (before WS). After learning about winter sowing, I considered that these plants were tender annuals and should be started quite late i.e Spring sowing. After a few years without success, last year I planted them in mid-April and voila - success with all three. This year I did the same and there is nothing from any of them. The seeds were from different sources, some of them being seeds I harvested myself from my own plants last year, so what's the deal?
I do remember that last year, I direct sowed some Nasturtiums here & there to add colour while I was sowing my beans and they never came up until August. They were lush but didn't flower until mid-August. So my question is: are there some annuals which need to be treated like perennials as far as time of sowing is concerned? Should these three annuals be sowed in March perhaps, to ensure germination? I am gettting to the point where I want to dig in the containers to see what's happening, but I have done that before and lost emerging seedlings. Anyone having these same difficulties?
I wintersowed sweet peas successfully (four varieties). I sowed them in early March. I completely failed with WS four o'clocks. I sowed them in early April and got nothing. Funny, I was just thinking about that, wondering if it's too late to give it another try. I started Nasturtiums indoors successfully (three varieties). Next year I'll WS those, too. It's funny that you posted this now. Not only was I thinking about the four o'clocks, I was sitting here using my Dremel to nick more nasturtiums seeds to direct sow.
I've had failures before with 4:00 and nasties when sown early. When I dug them up the seeds looked rotted. Sowing later in warmer weather worked better for me and they germinated quickly. I think big seeds tend to rot with long exposure to cold wet soil.
That's not the case in a garden bed though. I still have 4:00 seeds sprouting there after 3 years. I guess the jug keeps the humidity and moisture high enough for them to stay wet, while a garden bed has lower humidity and dries occasionally. My guess, anyway.
I tried sweet peas again this winter. One sprout. The ones I planted directly in the bed did slightly better giving me about 6 plants from 18 hills. It warmed up too fast and they died off when the temperatures hit 92. I'm planning to try again this fall when temperatures will be better for them. I think direct sowing is best. I still can't figure out why.
Four Oclocks are like weeds here. I toss seed into the garden and it grows. I sow it in containers and I get nothing. The seeds rot before they germinate. So now, I just sow them about 2 weeks before the last frost directly where I want them. I also scatter seeds all summer into August. They'll come back from the roots here most years.
Nasturtiums are another that I direct sow. I get very little germination in containers. I did try a new approach this year. I used horse manure mixed with pine shavings in one container. It worked well. The ones planted directly in the garden into the same material all germinated. I think I have one spot in the potager where there should have been a plant. I blame the squirrels for digging the seeds out.
Nasturtiums and 4 o'clocks are never a problem for me to WS.
I put them out around April 12th-15th and they start germinating around 5/1 and just keep germinating through the end of May.
Now sweet peas are another story. Until last year my germination rate on sweet peas, whether they were WS or direct sown is in the zero to 3 seedlings, if I'm lucky.
No matter what I did with the seeds, nick them and soak them, soak them and sow them, just sow them, those where my results.
Last year I purchased 2 kinds of sweet peas, snoopea and elegant lady and got 2 sets of different instructions from TM seeds. On line it said to surface sow the seeds and on the packets it was cover with 1 inch of soil.
Well, the only thing I never tried was surface sow the seeds. So figured, what the heck, one last shot.
Soaked the seeds overnight and Surfaced sowed the seeds, just pressed them into the soil and left them on the top and Low and Behold, out of 25 seeds of each kind, I got 25 seedlings.
Talk about being shocked.
So this year, I sowed more snoopeas, elegant lady and added streamers and high scent and did an experiment.
Snoopeas and elegant lady where soaked in water overnight and surfaced sowed, and all the seeds germinated into wonderful seedlings.
With the high scent and streamers that say to cover with 1 inch or so of soil, I soaked all the seeds overnight and sowed have the seeds according to the packages and the other half where soaked overnight and surface sowed.
25 high scent seeds soaked and surfaced sowed all germinated, the 25 seeds soaked and sowed as directed with soil on top, only 4 seeds germinated as of this morning.
25 streamer seeds, soaked and surfaced sowed all germinated, the 25 seeds soaked and sowed as directed with soil on top of seeds, only 3 germinated.
So from now on, all my sweet pea seeds will be soaked overnight in water, then surfaced sowed. No more soil on top of them.
Oh, the sweet peas seeds, all 4 kinds where sowed on 4/12/10 and germinated between 4/25 and 4/29.
Wow, that's a shocker. Who would have thought that with that hard shell surface sowing would work.
I got 2 SP from Parks (High Scent and Streamer Pink) and one Royal Mix pack from our nursery (can't remember brand) and chose to nick the seeds. I think i've gotten good germination.
I thought SP were a seed that you could sow in December and have them sprout. Have you ever tried that? I do know I read somewhere that the natural freeze-thaw cycle softens the outer coating and results in germination. Has anybody sown them in December?
I am quite surprised that so many gardeners are having problems WSing these plants. Thanks for all the feedback. From your experiences, I believe the best option will be to soak and surface seed in late spring. We are having our first real warm week but I have more seed and I will try again. Wish me luck!!
Deanna, I WS sweet peas in dec. my first 2 years WS. This is year 7 and got no germination. seeds where nicked and not nicked. soaked and not soaked.
How did you save your tubers? What did you do with them.
I saved 4 of mine from last year and stored them very simply. I dug them up after the plants had all but died back.
Shook off as much soil as I could and pulled of the rest. put them in brown lunch bags labeled with the type of 4 o'clock they where and placed the lunch bags in a plastic grocery bag to dry a bit for a week.
Then I put them inside a plastic cooler in my cellar for the winter. In February, I checked to be sure they where still a bit moist and if drying out, I ran them under the faucet in the sink very quickly, shook the water off and put them back in the lunch bags and in the cooler.
On May 4th I took them out of the bags, and potted them up in pots. I could see that the top of the tuber had some bits of white growth of stems on them and that white is now green and they are growing.
This is the first time I've tried saving the tubers, but also sowed seeds from them as well.
Northerner, good luck trying the sweet pea seeds again. I soak them in those tiny baggies. I start with good warm water in the bag with seeds in them, zip it closed, stand them upright in a bowl and leave them for about 4 hours. Then I carefully pour out the water and put in more good warm water and zip it closed again. next day, usually late morning, I surface sow them, cover them and put them outside in direct sun.
All my containers go out in direct sun.
I don't have any luck with sweet peas, have good luck with wsing four oclocks and do all of my nasties directly in the beds. Exactly one week before our avg. date of last frost, I soak the seeds overnight and go out the next moring with a pencil. Poke the pencil point in about an inch along the edges of the beds (where I love my nasties)pop the seed in and cover (they need dark to germinate I think?) They come up beautifully about 2 weeks later when it starts to warm up.
I winter sowed 3 different varieties of Nasturtiums and have a 90% germination so far. Just planted most of them today. On two of the Nast packages the exp. date was 2008!
Of my ws-n Sweet Peas about 65% have germinated. 3 different varieties, one package of old seeds. My lovely other half is adjusting the trellises for them as I type this, so I´ll probably transplant them later today.
I´ve wintersown both Nasturtiums and Sweet Peas before and have always had a good germination. My technique is rectangular TP rolls, filled with moist potting soil and 1 seed. This year, Nasturtiums were sown on Apr. 26th, germ from May 11th onwards and Sweet Peas on Apr. 19th, germ from May 7th onwards.
My method for germinating nasturtiums is to put all the seeds in the pack in between 2 sheets of wet paper towels and put that in a baggie. Then let it stay for a few days until little white roots start growing. Then I carefully plant them outside about 6 inches apart, and lightly cover with soil. I get very good germination this way.
I have had care troubles and a surprise visit by two sisters so I have been busy. On May 18, I dug in all the pots to find a few Nast. seeds and no trace of seeds in the other pots. The Nast. pot was really a muddy mess - I had used Miracle-Grow because I could not find anything else that late. I did find one mushy seed and about 5 good hard seeds. I soaked them expecting it be overnight, but they remained untl May 20 because of my car troubles. By then one of the Nasties had germinated and was showing a small root. I potted them all up (no covers) and am waiting to see what happens.
Glad2garden: I germinate all my seeds for indoor sowing that way, but it is trouble compared to WSing. I have almost 50 seedlings grown under lights that I am hardening off right now, so if I can WS any of them I do so. I would also have to time them very carefully because up here, temperatures are so variable in the spring. I planned to use that method with my cukes, zucchini, etc. but it suddenly turned too cold to put them out, so I had to grow them under lights.
Kiskin: you have done very well with your method. But I am beginning to think my poor results can be attributed to the weather. We had a very warm March and April and since I sow my seeds in pretty moist medium, the warmth and moisture probably rotted the seed before they germinated. Perhaps it was not cold enough to give them any cold/warm cycles to loosen their seed coats (I do not usually soak). I am thinking along these lines because I did have success last year, and thought this early warmth would only affect my perennials. Anyway, I'll just wait it out and see what happens. Thanks for all the comments.

Too many clashing flavors make this chocolate very unappetizing to me!

Posted by PurplePegasus on Jan 09, 2013
I expected a dark chocolate with a white coconut center. Instead I have a chocolate that cannot decide whether it wants to taste dark or milk (it's a toss up, really) and I don't know if this thing is sweet or salty. I had completely missed the "sea salt" part. Not sure why anyone would want salt in their sweets but I sure don't. There's lots of crunchy bits of sea salt in this but no coconut flavor that I can't detect. Honestly, I'm censoring myself of all the negative adjectives I could give this thing. I would give it 1 star for taste but I'll up it to two for being organic and because I love Peru but this chocolate truly is a dud, sorry!

WEAVING PROJECT #61 Atwater's Basket Weave Baby Blanket in Red Merino – Natalie Roberts August – December, 2012 Purpose: To make a baby blanket in a more complicated weave than I have done before, adding the 9th and 10th treadles and harnesses to my big loom which has never been exercised with them before. In recent years my projects have all been twill rag mats and rugs, and I need to learn how to tie up, thread, and treadle something wider, more difficult, and more rewarding. I also wanted to give something to my grandson, Dylan, who is now three. I was willing to take a leap by purchasing the soft wool. Equipment: 10 harness Berga Savonia countermarch, set up with 8 harnesses and 10 treadles. The reed is of Scandinavian origin and is labeled "50 120". It is 47.2 inches wide measured by the dents, or 48" measured to the outer edges. I thought it was 12 dents per inch, but it is actually 12.73 epi, as I learned in this project. The boat shuttle and warping board are by Schacht Spindle. Design: After reading several Handwoven articles1, I searched the internet and discovered Jean Scorgie's Weaver's Craft: Baby Blankets, Issue 27. I chose a design from this booklet -- "Atwater's Basket Weave Baby Blanket", p. 8 – 9.2 The design has a beautiful lace pattern that, when lifted up so light shines through, reminds me of something from a Spanish palace. The design uses 10 treadles, 8 for the pattern and 2 for tabby headers, which was what I lacked in my previous projects. It also asked for 4 ply Merino wool, "Baby Ull" from Dale of Norway that was available. The pattern is woven loosely. Previously, I purposely shrunk and brushed a loosely woven wool blanket and saw it change from a hard finish to thick, soft, fuzzy piece. I wanted to try that again. In all other ways, I decided to try to stick closely to Jean's design, just increasing the size as much as possible on my large loom. Weaver's Craft is available from Jean Scorgie at Plain Tabby Press, 4945 Hogan Dr., Ft. Collins, CO 80525- 3709, USA or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. Jean kindly helped me with suggestions for solving problems tying up my loom and explained how I could add a tabby edge to the selvedges, which I decided not to attempt. Calculating the Yarn Needed: I estimated the finished blanket would be 40" by 60". In her instructions, Jean says a project that is 30" by 36" takes 9 balls of Baby Ull. Since I was increasing the size so much, I needed to recompute the amount of yarn needed. To do this I used the "Sample Project Worksheet" that Madelyn van der Hoogt included in the additional materials for her video Weaving Well³. Her file was printed out and filled out by hand. I did not retype it in Word for this record, but summarize it here. I calculated the warp length for a finished piece of 60" to be 108" or 3 yards. That includes take up, shrinkage, and loom waste. A finished 40" wide piece would need to be woven about 47" wide. That would allow for draw in and shrinkage. At 12 warp ends per inch, I would need 564 warps, each 108" long, or 1692 yards for warp yardage. At 12 weft picks per inch, each 47 inches wide and advancing for 70.5 inches down the length, I would need 1160 weft yardage. This allows for some weft take up. The warp and weft yardage for one blanket totals 2852 yards. The yarn supplier, Webs at Yarn.com, says each ball of Dale of Norway Baby Ull has 180 yards. I would need to order about 16 balls for one blanket. I decided to make two. There was going to be a second grandchild! I revised the final calculations a little. There would be 31 pattern repeats of 18 threads, for a total of 558 warps, with 2 extra floating selvedges, for a total of 560 warps. I ordered 16 balls of Dale of Norway Baby Ull Merlot red, and 16 balls of blue from Webs at Yarn.com at a total cost of $205.05 with shipping and handling. I tried not to be superstitious about the upcoming Presidential election. 1 Tie up: After ordering the yarn, I read two articles about how to tie up a countermarch loom. Previously I had used a 1983 article by Joanne Tallarovic, "Countermarche: Pure and Simple" 4 , given to me by a friend in Tangled Webs. It had worked well, but lately I wondered if I could increase the size of the shed. So I read Madelyn van der Hoogt's instructions in "Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know about Tying Up a Countermarch Loom"5 and tried them out. The shed increased so much that some of the warps were forced to slide against other harnesses, and I thought they might fray and break. When I tried to adjust it, I got it so bollixed up that I decided to start completely over again with Tallarovic's method. Then I began to understand what was happening with the whole system and ended up creating a hybrid, midway between the two systems. A lot could be written about the differences between the two systems, but I am not qualified. Suffice it to say that I could not resist endless adjustment and lost track of what I did. It took so many weeks on my part time schedule that I became exhausted and just decided to take a chance that what I had was good enough.

The shed was okay and the pattern looked like it was supposed to. When I washed and dried the yarn in the dryer the lace turned into a thick piece that would make a warm blanket. It shrunk about 18%, a little more than it was supposed to. Winding the Warp, Sleying the Reed and Threading the Heddles: I wound 560 warps after watching Madelyn van der Hoogt's second video, Warping Your Loom 6 and Tom Knisely's The Loom Owner's Companion.7 Madelyn's video was especially helpful and gave me the confidence to go forward with that expensive yarn across the wide width. However, I should have reviewed it another time just before starting because I made a mistake. My warping board has an extra peg at the top, and I was confused about where to make the cross. I started one peg to the right of where I should have and, without realizing it, lost several inches of length. The actual length of the red blanket turned out to be 56" before finishing the ends, rather than 60" as planned. And I had almost 2 balls of yarn left over. I used Madelyn's method of putting the reed on a table, holding the warp in your left hand, and picking threads through it with the brass sleying hook. It worked well. An interesting error I made was to computed how many dents the reed has and rather than actually counting them. When I got close to finishing I discovered there were several more empty dents than I had predicted. The reed has 601 dents! To center the piece, I had to move several warps from one end of the reed to the other. Fortunately they didn't get too tangled and the stretchy warp turned out all right. 2 I took Madelyn's advice not to worry about the warps sliding or tangling as long as the all-important chokes were secured tightly to the breast beam. I tied 4 big hanks tightly to the breast beam and warped from front to back. I kept the lease sticks in for a while and transferred them from the front to the back of the reed using a huge shed sword that has been on my shelf for years. I was able to slide the choke ties and pull the warps towards the back beam far enough to allow 20 inches between the reed and the back warp bar – the length needed to thread and tie on. Because of the complicated basket weave pattern, there were too many heddles on some shafts and not enough on others. I needed to compute how many there should be on each shaft, remove the extras, and add others where needed. Shaft 1 needs 62. Shaft 2 needs 124. Shaft 3 needs 62. Shaft 4 needs 31. Shaft 5 needs 62. Shaft 6 needs 124. Shaft 7 needs 62. Shaft 8 needs 31. On some harnesses I needed to move heddles from the left to the right of the middle harness cords after I had started threading. I figured out how that I could do that by untying the cords from the lower lams temporarily, moving the heddles across, and then retying them. When winding the threaded warp from the front to the back beam I used Madelyn's method of pulling four hanks tightly, one after the other across the width, even putting my foot on the loom to get the appropriate tension. It worked and I did not break a single thread or create an uneven warp. That saved me a lot of time and the headache of getting my husband to help through that long process. The only thing I needed someone else to do was to help me transfer the sleyed reed from the desk to the beater. Threading Loom front Tie up to treadles 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 1 1 x o x o x o o o x x 1 H 2 2 2 2 o x o x o x o o x x 2 a 3 3 x o x o x o x x o o 3 r 4 o x o x o x x x o o 4 n 5 5 o x x x o o x o x o 5 e 6 6 6 6 x o x x o o o x o x 6 s 7 7 o x o o x x x o x o 7 s 8 x o o o x x o x o x 8 (Repeat 31 times)18 thread pattern 1 Floating Selvedge 1 Floating Selvedge In this notation, an "x" indicates a threaded heddle eye, where the warps are lifted and the weft goes under and does not show. An "o" on the tie up means the rope is tied to the lower lam which raises the harness so the warp goes over and the weft thread goes under. I sat inside the loom looking from back to front and threaded from right to left. I found a template of graph paper on the web and used it to make a threading guide that I printed out and taped onto a piece of cardboard. As I threaded, I marked off the heddles threaded. Treadling: The first and last 18 rows are plain weave, using Treadles 9 and 10. The next 31 pattern repeats were tracked by marking a guide made using more of the online graph paper. Read the guide from the bottom up, as if you are sitting in front of the loom and walking forward towards the back at the top. I checked for threading errors and found two. Thanks to Madelyn's video I was able to make an extra string heddle in the middle of the warp to correct them. 3 Treadle 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 6 5 6 7 8 7 6 5 6 2 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 2 Weaving: In order to be consistent in weaving 12 picks per inch, the yarn is pressed carefully into the shed, not beaten too hard. To keep myself under control, I made a template out of a 3 by 5 index card marked with horizontal lines every six rows. I checked it every 18 rows, every time I threw a shot with treadle 8. The idea is to be consistent and keep the plain weave centers square. There are long skips along the selvedges which Jean said not to worry about. But I reinforced them by threading the extra weft tails ends down the sides and around the skips. I don't think I'll do it that way next time. The edges look somewhat unsatisfactory, but my grandson won't care. Finishing: The ends were hemstitched, cut closely, and then folded over in thirds, bringing the fold to the first row of plain weave. I didn't hemstitch the final fold like Jean said should be done because it seemed very thick. However, I wish I had and will on the next blanket. Also, I will not pull the hemstitching so tightly. I didn't know how to hemstitch and searched around for clear pictures and directions. The best I found was Peggy Osterkamp's which can be found on the following site: http://peggyosterkamp.com/peggys-weaving-ips-tips-hemstitching/ I machine washed the finished blanket on gentle in cold water and dried it flat for half a day. It didn't change much. When it was almost dry I threw it in the dryer for 5 minutes. This was not according to the care instructions, but I knew that eventually it would happen at my grandson's house, and I wanted to see what would happen to it. Afterwards, some of the loose ends needed to be threaded into the web. It shrunk by about 12%. Here is how the blanket size changed as the finishing was done. Process Stage Length Width Warping 100" Sleyed in reed (560 warps) 44" Taken off the loom 56" 42 ½' After finishing the ends 51" 41 ½" After washing and drying for 5 minutes 45" 37" 4 Lessons learned: When setting up your loom: It is standard to have 10 treadles and only 8 harnesses. The two extra treadles are only used for the plain weave sections at the beginning and the end. When winding the warp: Develop a guide thread of the proper length and use all the pegs at the top of the warping board. When sleying the reed: Count the dents and work out from the center to find the correct starting place. Don't just multiply. My 47 ½ inch reed has 601 dents. When weaving: Reaching across a wide width slows down the weaving quite a bit. It takes practice to get the shuttle all the way across and catch it. When weaving: You don't need a temple if you bubble the warp consistently. Be consistent in how you treat the weft ends. Next time overlap them in the middle of the weaving and see how that looks. When finishing the ends: Hemstitch with a looser thread. When finishing: Best not to put it in the dryer. In general, become more familiar with the resources you have on hand. Information and things are there that you have forgotten about.

Very friendly and efficient.
They had my truck ready on time and check-out was quick and easy.
Great expereince. Very good all the way around.
Great advice on moving.
Choose Excellent based on no problems because the form would not submit without an answer there. My father dropped the truck off for me, and I did not see it.
excellent customer service, no recommendations
We were very pleased. Thank you!
Everyone at this location is very friendly and accommodating. Judy was especially nice and very helpful!
The truck I rented had less then 1/4 a tank of gas in the truck when I rented it and when I went to return it I brought it back with a 1/2 a tank of gas, much more then I was given to start with. The attendant then said it was supposed to have 5/8 a tank of gas and they would have to charge me. I explained I brought it back with more gas then it had when I rented it. She went on to say the paper work Said 5/8 and that is what she had to go by and became very rude and lectured me for not bringing it back the way I had it. I understand she had to go by what the paper said but the attendant that rented me the truck didn't ever check the truck to see what the gas tank meter was and then marked it with more gas than it actually had so I was out money and was lectured for it. I will not be back to that location if this is how u hauls business is done.I tried to explain to the lady that checked me out what happened and she act like I was trying to take advantage of them but instead they were taking advantage of me.
The location itself was ok to deal with except they rented a the truck I had reserved to someone else and I had to scramble to change plans. That started the domino effect that has had me pulling my hair out for a week. The process of correcting this through cooperate customer service was the biggest nightmare!! With the exception of Joy in the Knoxville,TN office, everyone else I dealt with was rude, unapologetic, and generally just gave me the run around. I was given incorrect info on how the truck was equipped which left me running all over town for an adaptor. What should have been a simple transaction turned into such a cluster! I had to call a dozen times to get my reservation straight. When you call, your call gets sent to a different location each time and one division doesn't have a clue what the other is doing. They were quick to blame their mistakes on "the last person I talked to". Joy was the only person who seemed to know her job. She was also the only person who was sympathetic to my frustrations. She was very helpful. Everyone else I spoke to, needs to find another line of work!! I will never do business with them again.
Everyone was courteous and helpful
The day I picked the truck up, it was very cold and they had the truck ready for me and heated up. I really appreciated that !
It is a small thing but made a huge difference to me!
A special thanks to Jack and Andy's customer service. Others were great also.
Only complaint was fuel was not at half a tank when picked up but they made a note of fuel level on contract
Everything was great, people are extremely friendly and efficient. My best ever experience with UHAUL. Thanks a lot.
Very helpful staff with guidance for find moving helpers & taking care of many changes in our moving needs. Very patient & accurate-Very pleasant staff.
Online reservation was easy. Equipment was clean and in great shape. Check-in and return were both very quick and easy.
At this location nothing everything went like clockwork
price was very reasonable!!!! staff was extremely nice!!
I didn't like that I rented for 4 days and only used it two but was charged for all four that's not good buss
the tuck was a piece of junk, the drivers door hung so low you needed 2 hands to get it to close, when you hit even the smallest crack in the pavement it would bounce you almost out of the seat
Judy was wonderful
Customer service was terrible. Lack of training no consistency with information and quote information. Person who checked me out put her hand up toward my face while I was trying to speak to her gesturing to be quiet. Very rude attendents.
Let me just say for the record that my husband (Buddy) and I found the equipment to include: 26' long truck and a 6X12 trailer to be in top shape for our travels. We also had no problems checking in and paying for the equipment rentals. We paid for the services and went over in detail the rental agreement for services offered. We were both well pleased and satisfied. Upon entering the vehicle I (Buddy) took detailed photos of the instrumentation panel to record both mileage and fuel level. The truck was assessed for damage as well. Our problems with this particular facility escalated when the ticket was closed out. Mrs Judy informed us of the following:
1) Your contract only included one trip
2) You need to pay for extra fuel
3) You went over your 1000 miles
She clearly wanted to charge extra for additional items when it was not warranted
We also are to recieve 1 free months storage for a 10' X 15' unit. But after our experience we have decided to pass on this service because we do not won't to be hit with extra fees.
Since our rental we have decided to use another rental service to complete our move. Just make sure that you check your contract closely!
Very dissatisfied in Tn,
~Carolyn and Buddy Dawson
First off the facility did not offer me insurance. I didn't know that it was available, nor that I was taking personal financial responsibility for a 40,000 truck. I did not realize the representative was having me decline insurance til I got home and looked at the contract. The beginning of the process was very rushed, the size truck I needed was not available and I was forced into a larger one. Additionally, I told the representative I need storage at my destination and she simply replied it was not available. I knew better and decided to take this on the next day as this move had to be done quickly. After a trying day of packing and loading, I heading out to my moving destination and when I turned on the headlights, there were none. I called roadside assistance twice and received no help at all. Finally, I was able to get the lights working myself only to have them go on and off with every little bump in the road. Additionally, the radio went in and out, interior lights, etc every time this happened. Next, it took over 150.00 in gas to go 230 miles which I have confirmed is not the proper full economy for this model truck. To make things better, the brakes were squeaking and grinding most of the trip, making me question if they were going to fail, again roadside assistance was of no help. I reached my destination and found a Uhaul storage facility which Uhaul allowed me to reserve online. I drive out to unload the rest of the truck into storage only to find out the facility is closed on sunday and there are no available storage buildings.I contact U-Haul and they basically left me holding the bag. I told the customer service rep all that was going on and she basically refused to help other than saying she could extend my reservation for another day so I could find storage. The owner of the facility managed to find me storage in another city. I proceeded to drive there, unload and return the truck to the original uhaul facility. Yesterday I look at my bank account and now im being charged extra mileage and gas that was the fault of uhaul to begin with for allowing storage to be reserved that did not exist. Uhauls customers service has been seriously lacking and no one has offered to take the initiative to make this right. Next stop is the better business bureau!
When I called to make a reservation on a tow dolly, I was quoted $61 total!! When i went to pick it up, they said it would be $158!! I said, "what"?? She said, "Yeah! You have to pay a $75 deposit.!" I was quite furious, as I didn't have that much money. Thank goodness my friend (who just happened to be with me)had the rest. When you call and ask for pricing that should be the first thing you say!! I complained that I wasn't told that, and she said, "I don't know who wrote your ticket!" I said. It was Judy!! She said, " I'm Judy!! Well,.....we usually tell people!! No apologies!! She didn't care!
Everything went great when dropping off my U-Haul truck! Nothing noticeable could be changed.

The hotel has a nice ambiance and well maintained amenities. They have a nice lake where you can do boating. Be sure to check the timings though, it closes very early in the evening. There is a huge lawn where kids can play. They also have TT room and some other indoor games.
We had all meals at the restaurant in the hotel and the food was good, though priced high. The service was slow too. They had high chair for kids which makes it very convenient.
Overall, good value for money.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist
23 May 2011 11:50 GMT | Asia, US & Canada, Afghanistan, Pakistan, United States
A suicide bomber struck a crowded Afghan bazaar, killing four civilians and wounding another 14 in a remote town in the east of the country."Four civilians were martyred and another 14 were wounded," Faizanullah Pattan, the provincial governor's spokesperson told the AFP news agency on Monday, adding that he did not know what the attacker's target had been.There were no government offices or military patrols in the area where the incident happened in the small town of Najeel Khail in Alishing district of Laghman province, about 100km east of the capital Kabul.The explosives were strapped to the bomber's body, the spokesman said.A wave of Taliban suicide bombings has accompanied the militants' announcement of the start of their annual spring offensive late last month.On Sunday, six members of the Afghan security forces were killed when the Taliban stormed a traffic police office and two suicide bombers detonated their explosives in a nine-hour standoff.On Saturday, six medical students were killed by a suicide bomber who struck as they ate lunch in a tent at Kabul's heavily-guarded military hospital.Civilians are often victims of the fighting in Afghanistan, which has run for nearly 10 years as 130,000 foreign troops try to put down a Taliban insurgency sparked by the 2001 US-led invasion to oust their Islamist regime.Last year was the deadliest for civilians since the conflict began, according to the United Nations, with 2,777 killed - a 15 per cent increase on 2009.Elsewhere in Afghanistan on Monday, the interior ministry said seven fighters were killed after Afghan and foreign forces repelled an attempted ambush in the highly unstable eastern province of Kunar, which borders Pakistan.Of the 130,000 international troops currently in Afghanistan, the bulk of them are from the United States.Afghan security forces are due to take over responsibility for security in a handful of safer areas from July, allowing some foreign troop withdrawals.All international combat troops are due to be pulled out by 2014 although there have been calls for this timetable to be speeded up since the killing of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden by US forces in Pakistan on May 2.

The Afghan Taliban rejected as "propaganda" on Monday unsourced media reports that their reclusive leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar, had been killed in Pakistan, saying he was alive and in Afghanistan and vowing to continue their insurgency. Security officials in Pakistan and diplomats, US military commanders and government officials in Afghanistan all cast doubt on reports that Omar, one of the most-wanted men in the world, had been killed while travelling between Quetta and North Waziristan in Pakistan. "He is in Afghanistan safe and sound," Zabihullah Mujahid, a spokesperson for the Taliban, told the Reuters news agency by telephone from an undisclosed location. "We strongly reject these baseless allegations that Mullah Mohammad Omar has been killed." A spokesperson for the Afghan intelligence agency, the National Directorate of Security (NDS), said its sources knew that Mullah Omar had been living in the Pakistani town of Quetta in the Baluchistan region of Pakistan but had recently gone missing. "We can confirm that he has been disappeared from his hideout in Quetta in Baluchistan for the last four or five days," Lutfullah Mashal, the NDS spokesperson, told a news conference. "We can't confirm if he is dead or alive." The heavily bearded, one-eyed Omar is rarely seen in public. With a $10 million US bounty on his head, he fled with the rest of the Afghan Taliban leadership to Quetta after their government was toppled by US-led Afghan forces in late 2001.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
A Northern Virginia candidate for Congress boasts of having asked the Federal government to allow women to buy oral contraceptives over the counter. She also says she is a pro-life Catholic. Can she have it both ways?
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
3/1/2014 (1 year ago)
Published in U.S.
Keywords: Steven W. Mosher, Barbara Comstock, Faith and Citizenship, contraception, Population Research Institute, moral coherence, politics, policy, Deal W. Hudson, Steven W. Mosher
FRONT ROYAL, VA (Catholic Online) - Author's note: I am not stranger to controversy, having been fired by Stanford University for my reporting on forced abortions in China's one-child policy, but the reaction to my article below, first published in Crisis, has surprised even me. It seems to me a straight-forward enough principle, namely, that Catholic politicians should not run from their faith in running for public office. But it turns out that, just as most of Our Lord's disciples abandoned him at key points in his ministry, so do many of his latter day followers, especially in matters concerning the political realm. I would like to thank Deal Hudson for first drawing public attention to one particular politician, Barbara Comstock, and the compromises that, in my opinion, she has made. He has done us all a service.
Sometimes pro-life leaders must disagree, as when I read in these pages an expiatory article about Barbara Comstock by Austin Ruse, followed by an endorsement of her candidacy for the U.S. Congress.
My difficulty with Comstock, a candidate for the Republican nomination for Virginia's 10th congressional district, is that she has, in her own words, "spearheaded a request and a letter from House of Delegates members to U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to ... make birth control pills available over the counter without a prescription for adult women."
Reading this hit me where I live, since I have spent the last 30 years fighting for a Culture of Life around the world. (In fact, I helped to set up C-FAM back in the late nineties, hired Austin to direct it, helped to fund it, and served on its board for many years.) Comstock's letter seemed to me a betrayal of Catholic teaching. Why would faithful Catholics not question whether it is right to support her, given that there are other credible Catholic candidates in the race, such as Rob Wasinger, who haven't made such compromises?
We all understand that many Catholic politicians, starting with the sitting Vice President, are more than willing to compromise on Catholic teaching to win elections. And I have some Catholic friends who are apparently ready to do the same--in private. One of them, who prefers to remain anonymous, wrote me the other day that the purpose of her letter was not to spread contraception, but was instead an effort to take the 'war on women' away from the pro-abortion left. Besides, he continued, making birth control pills available over the counter would reduce the incidence of contraceptive use.
This is a curious defense, since Comstock herself asserted that her goal was to "provid[e] easier access to birth control" and "enhance women's access" to "oral contraceptives." If this doesn't mean that her goal is to "spread contraception," I am not a native speaker of English. And since when do we violate the consistent teaching of the Church through 20 centuries in order to score political points? (Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi, don't answer that.)
And, finally, how exactly does making a drug available over the counter reduce its use? (I'm fairly certain that marijuana sales in Colorado are skyrocketing now that almost anyone can walk in off the street and buy it, aren't you?)
When I raised these objections with my friend he switched gears and went on the attack. He didn't agree with Comstock's letter, he now told me, but it was no worse than what we did in 2000 when we supported George Bush who believed that it was OK to kill some babies.
Well, that's not quite accurate, at least as far as I am concerned. I did not endorse Bush in the primaries because there were pro-life alternatives available. I did support him in the general election, as my friend correctly recalled, because Gore (and later Kerry), were both apparently untroubled by the wholesale slaughter of innocent unborn children up to the point of childbirth.
Besides, it is glaringly obvious to me that there is a world of difference between attempting to change the policy of a U.S. government agency in an anti-life direction, as Barbara Comstock openly declares she has done, and George Bush's promise to try and move the country in a pro-life direction, by limiting abortion-on-demand, even if he didn't go as far as I would like.
Then there is this: It may be just me, but I find it easier to accept an evangelical candidate who compromises on the Life issues than a Catholic candidate who does the same thing. After all, an evangelical does not have the fullness of the Truth as taught by the Catholic Church. A Catholic should know better. If such a candidate still chooses to stray--as in this case--well, I am more inclined to hold them accountable.
To this riposte, my friend shifted ground a third time, and began arguing that contraception is less serious than abortion. He wanted me to agree with him that there is nothing worse than abortion, because abortion kills and contraception doesn't.
Wrong again.
In its own way, contraception is an even greater tragedy than abortion. Why? Because it involves the deliberate rejection of God's creative power, a spurning of His gift of life. Remember that the only creating that God has done since Genesis is the creation of each individual, spiritual soul. And He requires our cooperation.
Those couples who contracept, according to the soon-to-be Saint John Paul in his Discourse of Sept. 17, 1983, "claim a power which belongs solely to God, the power to decide, in a final analysis, the coming into existence of a human person."
And Benedict XVI added, at the Mass for the inauguration of his pontificate, that "We are not some casual and meaningless product of evolution. Each of us is the result of a thought of God. Each of us is willed, each of us is loved, each of us is necessary."
As Prof Charles Rice has pointed out in his new book, Contraception and Persecution, God has chosen to depend on human cooperation for the creation of new citizens for the kingdom of heaven. The contracepting couple reject that gift by altering the conjugal act to prevent that creation. What they say to God is something like this: "For all we know, God, it may be your will that from this act of ours a new person will come into existence who will live forever. For all we know, that may be your will. And we won't let you do it."
That is a non serviam with eternal consequences. The souls of aborted babies are with the Father, the Blessed John Paul taught us. The souls contracepted out of existence are -- nowhere.
That is why the Blessed John Paul, in the same discourse I mentioned above, went on to say: "Contraception is so profoundly unlawful as never to be, for any reason, justified. To think or to say the contrary is equal to maintaining that in human life situations may arise in which it is lawful not to recognize God as God."
I am not a theologian, but would this not make contraception a violation of the First Commandment as abortion is a violation of the Fifth?
My friend backed and filled a fourth time, and began arguing that opposing contraception is political suicide.
He's probably right. We all know how hopelessly addicted our society is to sterile sex, after all.
Then again, no one is asking Catholic candidates for public office to make opposition to contraception the centerpiece of their political campaigns.
But is it too much to ask them, as a matter of personal honor and integrity, not to openly promote it?
I don't know why Barbara Comstock is advocating easier access to abortion-causing birth control pills. Someone should ask her. But, in general, I have had more than enough of Catholic candidates who compromise Church teaching for political gain.
Besides, it is our duty to remind them that, while election cycles are short, eternity is long. While global warming is not a problem in the here and now, it might be a problem for some of them in the hereafter.

Monthly light and Malaise trap catches, taken over 31 months, were used to examine seasonal and annual changes in the abundance of predominant orders of upland tropical rainforest insects. Insect numbers and biomass increased during the late dry season, reached a peak during the wetter months, and declined during the early dry period. Fluctuations in insect abundance appeared to relate to (1) climatic factors such as length and severity of the dry season, or amount and period of rainfall; and (2) food availability such as an increase in the production of new leaves, or flowering and fruiting periodicity.

Photons: Corpuscules of Light.
Richard Feynman delivers a charming talk about Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Electrodynamics and the versatile, enigmatic photon. (SLYT - 1:17:58)
The Speed of Light, Caught on Film
Capturing light in motion at a trillionth of a second. MIT, using a new technique called Femto Photography, consisting of femtosecond laser illumination, picosecond-accurate detectors and mathematical reconstruction techniques, has captured the movement of pulses of light.
flux capacitor or not..
Sorry Marty.. but 2.21 gigawatts ain't gonna cut it. Scientists have proven nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, so no time travelling for you, bub. A new study published in the American Physical Society's Physical Review Letters journal concludes that even single photons have to obey the posted speed limits. [more inside]
I still don't get it
Physicists have managed to observe light behaving both as a particle and wave in the same double-slit experimental condition, by means of a new method to weakly observe a particle's momentum. This article in Nature summarizes the results in non-mathematical terms. [more inside]
Speedy Entangled Photons:
Whether Einstein's "spooky science" or quantum weirdness, the Geneva tests that show entangled photons traveling at 10,000 times the speed of light are stirring up challenges and "Alice in Wonderland" discussions about "subatomic particles communicating nearly instantaneously at a distance."
