I learned late yesterday that iControl will acquire competitor uControl. They announced the merger yesterday, but did not announce financial terms. This brings together two broadband home security/management providers.
The announcement said the new company will go with the iControl Networks name and will be based iin Palo Alto, Calif. (iControl's home base). Paul Dawes, CEO of iControl and Jim Johnson, CEO of uControl, will be "co-CEOs" of the new company.
I'll be speaking with Dawes and Johnson today, so will have more info soon. In the meantime, below are some more details from the press release:
According to the release: "The combined company has launched commercially with several service providers and will announce additional deployments in the near future. All commercial trials and deployments will continue as planned."
"Through this merger, iControl and uControl have combined our respective strengths to deliver the best platform for the broadband home management market," said Paul Dawes, co-CEO of iControl, in a prepared statement. "Whether it's support for industry-leading IP video monitoring, innovative iPhone and Android apps, or cutting edge ZigBee and Z-Wave technology, the new iControl will offer the most comprehensive, innovative solution available."
"This is a rare opportunity where everyone benefits," said Jim Johnson, co-CEO of iControl, in a statement. "The scale achieved through this market consolidation is better for customers, partners, employees, and investors. Our top priorities are the success of our customers' deployments and accelerating the growth of our OpenSMA ecosystem."
iControl Networks is a venture-backed software and services company that partners with home security companies, broadband operators, utilities and telecommunication firms to deliver iControl ConnectedLife. Investors in iControl include ADT, Charles River Ventures, Cisco, Comcast Interactive Capital, GE Security, Intel Capital and the Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers iFund. For more information, please visit uControl delivers an open, technology-agnostic Home Security, Monitoring and Automation (SMA) software platform making the Connected Home a reality.
uControl, based in Austin, Texas, recently announced its OpenSMA program, which "brings together all the players who power the Connected Home, integrating and enabling a diverse ecosystem, from Service Providers such as cable and telephone companies to Platform Hardware and Lifestyle Device manufacturers who supply items such as thermostats, lighting controls, touch screen tablets and security sensors. Application developers also play a crucial role within OpenSMA, bringing to market an endless list of Connected Home applications."
We're all familiar with the "It's not my job" experience: You want some service from a company, but its employees can't help you because they say it's not their area of responsibility. If you're lucky, they may give you another phone number to call, but then chances are the person you reach will tell you to call someone else.
So that's why I was intrigued when Scott Hosford, branch manager of the Fairchild Communications Systems office in Fort Wayne, Ind. told me the other day that Fairchild instructs its technicians to do whatever it takes to get the job done—even it it's not their job.
Hosford said that technicians at Fairchild--a full-line integrator headquartered in Indianapolis that offers everything from fire and security systems to sound systems in the commercial, institutional and industrial verticals—are told to help customers solve problems even if the problem is not something they were specifically sent to fix.
For example, he said, if the tech is out for a programming job but discovers there's something wrong with the wiring, the tech is instructed not to leave and say he'll come back after the customer has called an electrician and the wiring is fixed.
Instead, Hosford said, the techs stay and work with the customer to help solve the problem. He said the tech will say: "We got a problem, (but) I'm going to help you find it. Can you get a guy in with me and go over it?"
Hosford said that rather than making it all the customer's problem, Fairchild's approach is: "Just do what you can to get the project done. You're already out there, why have you schedule another trip and go back--it's an inconvenience for everybody. Let's just get the job done and move on to the next one."
Hosford said the company's good service record has sometimes won it jobs even when it wasn't the lowest bidder. All because it instructs its employees NOT to say: "It's not my job."
I've been running around like a New Yorker since I arrived in the city yesterday. I had a fantastic tour of Lincoln Center and its security operation yesterday afternoon courtesy of Rob Tarleton, IT director for Lincoln Center and Jeremy Brecher of Diebold (and Tech Sec Advisory Board member.)
Jeremy Brecher of Diebold left and
Rob Tarleton, IT director for Lincoln Center right.
Rob and Jeremy and I did a webcast in September about the Lincoln Center"s IP-security project, part of a $1.22 billion overhaul of this world class (and 16-acre) performing arts campus. You can listen the the webcast by going to our homepage and clicking on the gray webcast tab. It's just above my photo.
But before I go, I had another wicked cool tour today Leischen Stelter and I met wiith the World Trade Center Security consultants DVS (Phil Santore, Brian Coulombe and Frank Santamorena) and the WTC security director Louis Barani. We had breakfast at a hotel that overlooks the site, so Leischen and I could see what we were talking about, and then we went over to Tower 7 for a look at some of the security operatiions.

I've got lots more to share about the tour ... and some of my famous foggy iPhone photos to share as well. I've got to run to another event right now
I got an email from SIAC today concerning a pretty cool update to their site.
SIAC has been updating a lot lately, getting more heavily into social networking and taking the opportunity to update their website give some props to the peeps who've supported the associaiton in the past. There's a section on their new site dedicated to lauding those who've contributed to SIAC's running.
I wrote earlier in the year about SIAC's appeal for contributions. Those guys DO work pretty tirelessly with municipalities on behalf of the industry. They're always there trying to bridge the gap when municipalities and the industry threaten to clash.
SIAC executive director Stan Martin summed up the newly-added contributors page in the SIAC email:
"One of the main reasons we added our list of contributors is to give them the recognition and thanks they deserve for keeping SIAC funded and enabling us to help improve alarm management practices. It's only through their help that we can do the good work we do for other companies in our industry," Martin said in the release.
Drop by SIAC's site and contribute or just get a look at those who have and thank them for supporting one of the industry's advocates.
I expected to learn lots of new things when I started writing about the security industry, but I didn't expect to start looking at mid-term elections from a security angle.
But a recent comment from Ackerman Security Systems CEO Jim Callahan about that Atlanta-based company's new branch in Beltsville, Md., which opened in May to serve customers in the Washington, D.C. area, has made me do just that.
Callahan said Washington's revolving election cycle is one reason that Ackerman, one of the nation's top providers of residential and commercial security, decided to open the office.
Callahan noted the area is full of affluent, well-educated professionals who come and go every two to four years as the administration of the federal government changes with elections. The area has a high crime rate, so the newcomers tend to seek out security systems.
So, whoever ends up in control of Congress after Nov. 2, security companies in the D.C. area will be the winners.
On another election note, a recent issue of the CASIA (Connecticut Alarm & Systems Integrators Association) Communicator suggests some questions for those in the industry to pose to candidates. Although the article in the September 2010 issue is focused on Connecticut, some of the questions could be asked of election candidates in any state. They include:
*Will they support or oppose additional taxes on individuals or businesses?
*How will they assist employers in providing affordable health insurance for employees?
*Do they support efforts to stimulate the economy by reducing the regulatory burden on employers, such as addressing permitting delays?
*How will they help businesses reduce energy costs and increase energy reliability?
I've had lots of news about 2GIG Technologies coming across my desk in the past week or so. In case you don't know 2GIG, they're a newish (about three years old now) manufacturer of residential and home management solutions, notably its GO!Control panel.
Just yesterday I spoke to Mary Miller at the Z-Wave Alliance, which is an open consortium of companies that wants to establish Z-Wave as the standard in wireless home control. Miller announced that 2GIG is its newest principal member.
2GIG president Todd Santiago told me the company is pleased to join the board, which includes Cooper Wiring Devices, Danfoss, Fakro, Ingersoll Rand, Leviton, Sigma Designs and Universal Electronics.
Santiago also shared some other news. The company is moving to a bigger office in Lehi, Utah and has opened another "large office and warehouse in Carlsbad, California." Company engineers will be housed in both locations, he said. 2GIG has hired three seven engineers lately and Santiago said he expects to hire 10 more within a few weeks. Below is some biographical information about three senior engineers they hired:
--Bruce Ehlers: senior vice president, engineering. Ehlers recently joined 2GIG and has responsibility over all engineering activities. Prior to joining 2GIG, Ehlers was VP of engineering at Linear Corporation where he oversaw all product development including the development of the GoControl panel. Prior to Linear, Ehlers held leadership positions at numerous companies including Iomega, Copper Mountain Networks, and General Instrument. He holds a BSEE with honors and MSEE from Purdue University.
--Chris Harris: VP, hardware engineering. Harris has more thna 15 years of product development and manufacturing experience with wireless, networking, and consumer electronic products. Prior to 2Gig, Harris managed the hardware product development at Control4 Corporation, a home automation and energy management company. Before that, he held engineering and operations management positions at several venture funded technology companies including Redline Networks (acquired by Juniper Networks), Softbook Press (acquired by Gemstar), CellNet Data Systems (acquired by Schlumberger), and Advanced Energy Industries (NASDAQ: AEIS). Harris has aBS in Mechanical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an MS in Systems Engineering from Stanford University.
--Karl Hisamoto: VP, Software Engineering. Hisamoto brings more than 30 years of embedded software development and management experience with simulation systems, cellular systems, and home technology products. Hisamoto managed the software development of 2gig's Go!Control security and home management system.Prior to 2gig, he has held software engineering management positions at Linear LLC and Skyworks Solutions. Hisamoto received his BS in Electrical Engineering from California State University, Long Beach.
Santiago also said that they company now has 10 distributors, has a nationwide sales organization having signed on "numerous independent rep firms" and a couple of direct sale employees.
Going through my email this morning, I noticed a little further discussion of video at Ken Kirschenbaum's newsletter. I've done a lot of writing about video. Specifically, I've written a lot about verification and companies like G4S, Westec, Stealth Monitoring and Viewpoint CRM who go beyond simple verification. A reader named John asked a simple question:
"Hi Ken,
Whom do you recommend for off site video storage and monitoring, including live look-ins?
To which Ken responded, "I invited central stations to respond to the inquiry. Here are the responses I received:"
I found the responses interesting and informative.
First was a reply from U.S.A. Central Station Alarm's Bart Didden. I've blogged about Bart's take on video verification and manufacturers and alarm companies that tout priority police response before. Here, though, Bart just talks about video in general:
First my position, then the answer to your question.
Video has gotten so much buzz for the last couple of years, that in my opinion many companies have been financially damaged trying to live up to the hype of video."
I've actually blogged about this before--the overselling, over-hyping of what video can do and the underplaying of it's limitations. We DO live in a world where Hollywood tells us we can recognize people and license plates from an orbitting satellite and make out the name of a perp's girlfriend in his tatoo from a conveniece store's CCTV footage... How much of that is true and how much science fiction? Regardless of the answer, Average Joe End User believes it can be done 'cuz he saw it on a mediocre (at best) episode of "CSI: Miami."
Bart continues:
"Dollar for dollar video has been the worse security investment ever to date because there are high expectations created by TV shows, manufacturers and the public at large because everyone expects HDTV quality and that the on-site recorders are always working. These expectations could not be farther from the truth especially when coupled with the inability to create recurring revenue streams for service."
I can't vouch for the veracity of that statement, since I don't know how much y'all have invested in failed attempts at video. It seems to me, however that there are companies out there offering video as a component of what they do, as well as making successful video services their entire business model. And I'm pretty sure RMR has been and will continue to be a part of that.
"Yesterday's alarm company would have been better served if they followed the advice of industry pundits who said flood the neighborhood with door hangers while you were installing a system for the neighbor, concentrate on your business, stay focused on what you do best and communicate with your customers by making them lead generators."
Bart seems to be saying don't try new stuff... The problem is that end users tell YOU, their employees (wlhen you install a system for them), what they want. Especially in today's world where end users are more and more tech-oriented.
Bart DOES give some props to video, however.
"But I do believe that there is hope for video in the near future.
Here is my recipe for successful video sales into the traditional, service oriented alarm company.
Smaller camera systems generate sales leads not just for the camera but an alarm system as well and vice versa.
Health monitoring (system health, i.e. that its still alive) is essential! Otherwise your next call from your customer is going to be that the equipment failed when the customer needed it. This is just a no win situation because you failed to meet the customers expectations. This must also include the all of the system components, starting from the camera itself, all the way back including any recorder. Any loss of function has to leave the premise otherwise it is still useless.
Tie the video into a monitoring protocol for enhanced alarm verification. This way it seems like you need both to 'get it all.'"
Here, I like Bart's direction. Use video intelligently--as part of a larger system. Tie everything together. It seems like he's saying be educated, be smart, communicate with the end user and provide a real service. I think that's probably sound advice. And though he doesn't come right out and say it, it's there: Be honest. If there are limitations to what the system you're selling can do, tell your end user. Be honest about the limitations and honest about how video can supplement more traditional solutions. Sounds like a good policy. USA does offer video programs for dealers, and interested parties can contact them.
Now the input on video didn't end with Bart. Steve Tapper over at OzVision also chimed in. I'm actually working on a story about OzVision and Sonitrol teaming up for Sonovision right now. Look for that story later this week.
Here's what Steve had to say about video:
If you are interested from a manufacturer perspective, I am happy to offer incite on what OzVision offers regarding off site Video Storage, as well as the many RMR services the central stations can provide to their clients such as:
- Continuous 24/7 recording on all cameras to be stored up to 1 year via the customized GUI for an OEM (and can be downloaded to your local PC)
- Video Motion Detection events stored and accessible via the customized GUI for an OEM (and can be downloaded to your local PC)
- Alarm Video Verification that the video will go to the off site server first, then instantly to the monitoring station, then onto the operator workstation which integrates with their particular automation software platform."
We here at SSN have done some writing about the ongoing evolution of video, including improved resolution quality, improved scalability through IP systems, dropping pricepoints, and improved analytics, all of which will continue to bring video into the mainstream.
What're your thoughts on video? I'd love to hear from you.
Hmm. It's interesting to see that David L. Smith and Timothy M. McGinn, two security alarm industry investors who made headlines this spring after the SEC charged them with bilking investors in a Ponzi scheme, are back in the news--with a new investment venture.
Smith and McGinn have started a new investment company and have been trying to raise more than $500,000 to loan a small Georgia-based alarm company $425,000 at an annual interest rate of 19.62 percent, according to the Times Union, a newspaper in Albany, N.Y.
This time, the newspaper says in a story this week, Smith's and McGinn's former administrative assistant owns the new business, Security Alarm Credit, and is running it out of her house in East Greenbush, N.Y. Smith and McGinn are just her employees--and executive vice presidents, the newspaper says.
(Below is a photograph from the Albany Times Union of the East Greenbush, N.Y. home which serves as the headquarters of the new Security Alarm Credit business.)
Longtime partners Smith and McGinn were the principals of McGinn, Smith & Co., an Albany-based investment firm that conducted investment dealings in the alarm industry. The company is now in receivership after the SEC in April seized Smith's and McGinn's business and personal assets and accused the pair and their company of defrauding investors of at least $80 million. Places the money went included the pair's own pockets and to pay for exotic dancers on McGinn's You Only Live Once cruise ship business, the SEC said. The court case is pending.
I'm trying to get hold of McGinn, Smith and their attorneys, as well as the SEC and others involved in the story to learn more.
McGinn invoked his civil rights in an interview with the Times Union about the new business venture. "My partner David Smith and I are not enjoined from earning a living and this is the United States of America," McGinn reportedly told the paper.
Jeez, you'd think all those cameras and the fact that it's a security show would dissuade would-be theives, but no. Milestone put out a press release this morning about thieves nabbed at ASIS.
When a laptop was stolen at the MoogQuickset booth during the show (Oct. 12-15), Moog employees asked those at the neighboring Milestone booth if they'd noticed anything missing. No, but they did happen to have footage of what went on after hours on the ASIS show floor that showed members of the cleaning crew picking up the laptop. Turns out they'd picked up a few more items as well, and when confronted by the video, one of the cleaning crew turned in items stolen from a previous trade show. These guys really cleaned up at trade shows.
Click here to read the press release, and make sure to scroll down to see the video.
Roll the credits: MIlestone's XProtect VMS, and Axis camera, and featuring a synopsis by BriefCam.
This is the second time I've blogged about an attempted heist on a trade show floor. The first time was at ISC West in 2008. Here's a link to that blog and accompanying camera shots. That time it was a cleaning crew guy who swipped a cellphone from a Intelliview Technologies booth while the camera caught his every move.

Garamendi is from "Walnut Creek"? In the spirit of bipartisian debate, I hope all those liberal bloggers who crucified Harmer for allegedly not being from San Ramon, are equally outraged by Garamendi claiming to be from Walnut Creek.

This is a great place to take your kids. They were able to ride everything with a breeze. Even though it's a small place it seems like your at a big amusement park.

This is a great park to visit for those folks who are on a budget and/or want to avoid the throngs at Disney. However, two points to keep in mind:
1. Go as early as you can, as crowds start to get thick around lunchtime and early afternoon.
2. Because the admission prices here are so much lower, sometimes some...
It is not big, it gets crowded, but they do a good job in making it a fun place to bring your kids. I have been here a few times, and enjoyed myself each time. They were fixing it up last time I drove by and haven't been back in a while, but would like to check it out when...
loved it was just the right size, just the right fun, just the right price!
Ask for the AAA Members discount and Senior discount.
As my grandson said just like Disneyland Grandma rides, food and arcade oh my!
In lieu of a birthday party, we took my daughter here for her 5th bday and let her bring a friend. The price is fantastic, we were able to bring our family of 5, AND the friend, and not break the bank.
The rides are great for the younger set, but even my two older kids had a good time....
I kept hearing about this place and finally stopped by with my 4 year old on the way to San Diego. what a GEM!! he loved it!! very very clean. we went on a tues, so it was dead. my son got to ride on all the rides over and over again. he loved loved the train. I think we...
I disagree with others in saying that Adventure City is a good alternative to Disneyland. The two are such incredibly different experiences to even try to compare the two would be a disservice to both parks.
That said, I really like Adventure City for what it is - a simple, toddler-friendly amusement park. I have a 2 year old and...
This place is great for the young ones that may not be old enough for the likes of the rides at Disney, Universal and Knotts Berry Farms. The admission is reasonable and the place has a few rides, and plenty of shows during the day. Very good birthday packages as well!
Definately more affordable than the mainstream themeparks. The food...
We went with 3 adults and 4 kids, ages 2-5. It was a great time! No lines, friendly people, fun rides. Lots of nice little touches like a mommy & me potty and rain room to cool down in. Well worth the money! Sign up for their emails to get discounts, too!
If you don't want to be super tired going around huge theme parks with your kids then this is the place to visit. It is small but fun. You can spend a decent 3-4 hours here and not get bored.
For kids ages > 5

Corporate Sales Interview
The process took 4 days – interviewed at Imperva in June 2010.
I interviewed with both the HR recruiter and the hiring manager. Both spent a lot of time selling me on the position while simultaneously questioning whether I was really willing to work East coast hours. Most of it was pleasant but when I casually mentioned the company sold an "appliance" (which appeared in their own marketing collateral) the HR recruiter told me that if I ever called Imperva a "hardware company" I would be shown the door. The next day I was told they hired someone who was referred by multiple internal employees. My advice ... don't mention the appliance, even if they still sell it.

I had a pair of earings very close to this one. I used to wear it all the time but unfortunately I lost one pair and was trying to find similar earings, when I saw those I was so happy abd ordered them directly. They are gorgeous, sparkling, not so heavy and easy to wear. I am very pleased with my purchase.
This product broke after 2 days of use and had to be replaced
I really would like to have another pair, I was sorry to see that they broke.
I own lots of expensive earrings so friends and co-workers never questioned that these were not real diamonds. I waited until after my birthday to wear them to work and everyone thought my husband had been overly generous this year. Great fakes to wear anytime you want to feel special!
These earrings look very elegant and dressy. Love them. Very happy with my purchase.
Loved this so much, bought a set for my friend too
Both earrings are bent and hang funny. I am afraid to straighten them as they are fragile and might break. Too bad, as they are very cute otherwise.
Very pretty, well made. I like them. I would have loved them if the CZ stone had more facets to appear more like an actual diamond. Overall, very nice.
Very nice and good quality
Very beautiful pair of earrings. Major sparkle factor and love the lever backs. They keep the earrings secure and you don't have to worry about loosing them.

HOME NFL Minnesota Vikings Gear Minnesota Vikings Home Office & School (178 items) Product ID: 730900
Main Content
This item ships within one business day.
$4.99 flat rate shipping. See other shipping options.
Football in Minnesota isn't about the game, it isn't about the wins or losses, it's about tradition. In this newly-updated edition of "A Tradition of Purple," Jim Bruton brings the indomitable legacy of the Minnesota Vikings to life. From the moment they first burst onto the field in 1961 and destroyed the Chicago Bears in an unprecedented upset, the Vikings have carved out a place of their own in the NFL and in the hearts and minds across the country. This illustrated novel captures the love affair between the Vikings and Minnesotans—one forged from the unique combination of frigid cold games, heartfelt community service projects and hatred of the Green Bay Packers. Whether it's stories about Norm Van Brocklin and Bud Grant or tales of a "Football for Life" clinic with the children of St. Joseph's Home, A Tradition of Purple has something for every Vikings fan—the epic wins, the gut-wrenching losses, the players who kept going despite the wind an the cold because there were still fans bundled in those seats willing to stay to support their team. Recapture all the excitement of Vikings football by adding this illustrated masterpiece to your collection!

Time to break out the long pants: Tick season is back! The past couple of years we've had a tick boom along the west side of the state and it's happening again this year. Erik Foster is the medical entomologist with the Michigan Department of Community Health. He says reported Lyme disease cases rose 60% last year – from 98 in 2012 to 165 in 2013. He says it's not clear yet whether we're going to see anything as dramatic as that this year, but so far this year is looking like another banner year for ticks. There's a tick boom in Michigan - Here are 5 things you should know By Rebecca Williams • Jun 4, 2013 CDC On today's Environment Report, we talked about ticks. Michigan State University entomologist Howard Russell told me that tick season is booming in Michigan this year. And the boom is happening in areas where ticks were relatively rare a few years ago. Specifically, Russell says the blacklegged tick population is expanding in Michigan. Those are the bad ones. The suckers that can carry Lyme disease.

Prospect Season PostponedSubmitted by pete on September 8, 2011 - 18:28
In light of the tragic crash of the plane carrying the Yaroslavl Lokomotiv club, the KHL has announced a revised schedule for the season. The opening of the season has been pushed back to 9/12, when Vasily Koshechkin and Cherepovets will face Dynamo Minsk and Nikita Kucherov and CSKA will face off against Khanty-Mansiysk. The date will also feature the emotional return of Yaroslavl to the ice against Dynamo Moscow. The league has yet to formally announce how the team's roster will be replaced, as decisions have been deferred until after the memorial service for the team.
BoltProspects would like to extend its deepest sympathies to the families and friends of all of the players and crew who lost their life in the crash. In particular, BoltProspects would like to send its sincerest condolences to former Lightning draft pick Ivan Rachunek, whose brother Karel, Yaroslavl's team captain, perished in the tragedy.
Prospect Season Starts Next WeekSubmitted by pete on September 2, 2011 - 17:53
With the passing of August, the summer is on its decline, and hockey season is almost here in North America. But, in Europe, preseason games are already being played and the regular season is set to begin next week. On Thursday, slick scoring prospect Nikita Kucherov and CSKA will square off against perennial league power Magnitogorsk in their season opener in the Russian KHL. A week later, on 9/15, action starts in the Finnish SM-liiga where Riku Helenius and JYP will open against KalPa. That day also marks the start of the Swedish Elitserien where Johan Harju and Lulea will face Vaxjo.

It was cool to get to meet people who were in same area and have the same lust for life as me: no sleep 'til sunrise! Trust me, if you want to have some fun tonight, call!

I'm struggling to get my head around this - I'm new to Jquery. I'm trying to give each element an icon based on its parent's class - for use in a portfolio filter (i.e. web projects have web icon, graphics projects have graphic icon, and so on).
This is what I have done so far (simplified):

And here's the Jquery:
// Determine span class by parent class
$("#thumbs li a").each(function(){
$this = $(this);
$thisparent = $(this).parent();
$span = $(this).children('span');
So, I am able to give each span a class, inherited from its parent - allowing me to style each project category differently. But how do I set the data-icon value?
I'm using Icomoon to embed my icons, so obviously the data-icon value will be something like
7 - so each filter category (web, photography, graphics) will have to be linked to a specific data-icon value somehow.
Any ideas?

No they were great, pleasant to deal with and made everything easy to
Don't harass a customer to give more than one number if that is all they have to give. I don't care to lie to anyone.
Excellent service!!!
Where i picked up the trailer in Burley idaho was excellent. The people were helpful and awesome. Where I dropped off in Pocatello Idaho The workers were grouchy and mean. I did not like the service form the two people that were helping me. I would not recommend the pocatello location to anyone.
I think someone must have called in sick, because there was just one poor gal waiting on everyone (had a cluster of us customers all at once).
They did a great job, I needed a truck to move with and with help we got the job done, returned the truck 1 hr before it was due. Thanks for being there.
Great staff very helpful
I had issues checking in after placing my reservation online earlier in the week. I had the truck switched on me twice and other items I ordered were not in the truck like I was told. However, when I returned the truck, the manager addressed all my issues and I left the store very satisfied.
Thank you as always
Get more help hired to cut down on the wait time.
Two things that come too mind a CD player and cruise control. The most important thing is keep hiring managers like the one who rented the u haul too me.
A lot of confusion, we had to switch truck sizes, our contract was mixed up with another contract and we received repeated (at least 3) calls asking us where the uhaul was that we had returned 4 hours earlier. It was all sorted out eventually, but was confusing and frustrating.
GM Ashley Johnson understands customer service ... Professional & knows her stuff!
Got a brand new truck. Only 600 miles on it. Rented it for about an hour. Reasonable price.
All was good.
I have rented from this location several times and I have always been well satisfied.
had a wonderful experience their and was taken care of.
nothing, Everyone was great, friendly and courteous. Thank you
Thank you for your friendly and fast service. My trailer was ready and your staff helped me hitch it up and unhitch it upon returning it. It's always a pleasure doing business when staff are as helpful and friendly as your U Haul employees. Thank you so much.
I would of, but after working with the jerk at your office in Spokane, I 'll never use your company again, I will use Ryder Truck rental.
The staff was friendly and efficient. I will use them again.
Everything was awesome! Keep it up!!
The Uhaul computer system is messed up, needs to be fixed. The service reps had to fix the order twice after the system seemed to remove all data on my purchase. I found a similar problem while scheduling online.
Employee Jose Pacacious was super. He explained all sizes & prices available, found out that I had been over charged & actually could have rented in Pocatello for alot cheaper.
Personnel in Pocatello were very helpful & the trailer was ready as promised.

Authors all over the UK are about to dive into the crazy/brilliant time of year when schools need speakers to entertain, inform and inspire students to want to read. World Book Day is coming up. Between now and the first week of March (and probably for at least a couple of weeks beyond that) every author you know has been asked to make more appearances in schools than they could ever want or possibly fit into the diary.
It's been getting crazier every year for the last decade. Some authors are doing all this for the first time and a friend of a friend got in touch to ask whether I had any advice for her to prepare her for her first ever school visits as an author.
I bashed out a list of tips and I hope it might be useful to somebody. There are obviously some basics to public speaking that I'll try not to cover here - we can talk about those another day, if anybody is interested. So below are just a few things that strike me as being particular to being an author speaking to a school audience. Other authors reading this: please do add your own in the comments, tell us which ones you already do or tell me the ones I've got wrong!
Ask the teachers to get the kids to file in from the front. If they start at the back there'll be random odd chairs at the front, which makes your job much harder from from the very beginning. Don't accept empty rows or empty seats. They sit in every chair, starting at the front. If they refuse to sit in the front row and the teachers aren't sharp enough to do anything about it, wait until they've all sat down in the second row, then remove the first row of empty chairs. Better - remove one of the empty chairs, then ask one specific student and one specific teacher to take away the others.
Obviously don't start til everyone is settled. The manner in which the students come into the hall or the library, or wherever, sets the tone for the whole thing. Sounds strict, but it makes it so much easier to have as much fun as you like for the hour that follows.
An odd one, this, and some experienced authors I know disagree. Nonetheless, I suggest you start at your very quietest and build up from there. Loud noises and loud voices are among the things that set off disruptive behaviour in students who have certain kinds of issues. So draw everybody in. If there's a microphone, start without it.
In the first minute, thank the students for having you. The key word to emphasise is 'guest'. For example, "Thanks for having me as your GUEST today. It's pretty special for me blah blah..."
The word 'guest', especially in close proximity to 'special', triggers 'guest behaviour'. Teachers have droned on at them for years about how they should behave for guests. Help them out with a not-so-subtle mental kick to engage that behaviour for you, now.
Stand, don't sit, and never behind a table or lectern or anything else. If you've been put up on a stage, come down off it unless there's a really, really good reason for you to be so far away from your audience.
Don't rely on powerpoint or projections or any other kind of tech. It will only work in about one in five schools. In the one-in-five schools where it works, only one-in-five students will absorb what you're shoving in their faces up on the screen. Be better than that. In the absence of powerpoint and the like, YOU must be interesting to look at. Think about how and when you move as much as what you're saying. Move around, stand still, vary the pace, go to the corners and speak from there for a bit, use your gestures. With more space and time we could go into the best way to do this, but if you're starting out, it's enough just to make sure you give this thought. YOU are the visuals. Be dynamic.
Don't let them. It won't be the librarian or teacher who booked you, but somebody else in the hall thinks they're getting a free period. If someone is chatting, marking, moving
around or anything like that, stop immediately. Stare at them if necessary, but wait for
around or anything like that, stop immediately. Stare at them if necessary, but wait for
them to give you their full attention. The staff have to set the example. Don't let them get away with anything else. Hopefully you'll be entertaining enough once you get going that they won't be able to take their eyes off you, but until then, keep the staff in line.
You need to signal early on that the students aren't just there to sit and 'listen' to you ramble on for an hour. You're going to engage them, get them involved, ask them stuff and go to them for input and ideas. (At least, I hope you are.) This is much easier if in the first few minutes you've asked for a simple show of hands for something. (Anything that isn't
patronising like, 'who likes reading' - I saw an author do that once. It was
Have a couple of books to give away. Give one away early-ish to someone who answers a question well. It'll switch the others on for the rest of the session.
If you're going to do Q&A at the end, tell them that (preferably twice) near
the beginning so their brains, consciously or not, have thought up some questions by the time you get to that bit.
the beginning so their brains, consciously or not, have thought up some questions by the time you get to that bit.
Unlike with adult audiences, don't repeat yourself or labour any points. (I know I've said repeat a couple of things, but apart from them). Kids get stuff first time, quickly. So say it once and move on. Don't wait for a reaction or for anything to sink in. They've got the point and they're getting bored unless you've moved on. Be a step ahead, or several, if you can.
Ignore everything else, but follow this one. If you do, nothing else really matters. This goes for all kinds of public speaking, but never more so than as an author presenting to an audience in a school. It's big:
That applies to every word you say. Shape it into a story. Even if that means embellishing stuff or just making it up. It's why you're there, it's your strength, your unique set of skills.
Have fun, everybody. Wishing you all some great World Book Day events.
