'Monsters University' highlights power of optimism
Billy Crystal is the actor who voices Mike Wazowski. Crystal's career has spanned iconic films such as "The Princess Bride," "When Harry Met Sally," "City Slickers" and "Analyze This." Yet Crystal recently told USA Today that "Mike is his favorite role in his entire career, partly due to the never-ending optimism seen in both films."
"(Mike) is not the coolest-looking guy in the world and he's a little guy," the actor said. "But he's so much fun and he has such a range of emotions that I totally relate to him."
Even though Mike Wazowski exhibited plenty of optimism in "Monsters Inc." by coping with mild-to-moderate crises in his personal and professional lives, his optimistic worldview is much more integral to the plot of "Monsters University," a prequel that primarily focuses on Mike's first year of college. In essence, Mike wants his major to be in the School of Scaring — even though everyone from the university president to his peer students keeps telling him he's just not scary enough.
Approximately half of "Monsters University" revolves around the Scare Games, a weeklong event in which fraternities and sororities engage in series of competitions designed to measure their scariness.
By the time the Scare Games roll around, has Mike has already been booted out of the School of Scaring. But instead of bemoaning his bad luck, Mike joins a fraternity and negotiates a potential path back into the Scare School: If his fraternity Oozma Kappa can somehow win the Scare Games, he will be readmitted into the School of Scaring.
Just one problem with that plan: With the exception of Sulley (John Goodman), Mike's fellow Oozma Kappa pledges are even less scary than he is.
Yet Mike is again quite unfazed by the adversity. He proactively pursues a Scare Week victory — the intermediary goal that will gain him re-entry into the Scare School — by reading every book about scaring that he can get his hands on. And in order to ameliorate the shortcomings of his teammates, happy-go-lucky Mike takes on the persona of a chirpy drill instructor while putting the boys of Oozma Kappa through drills like calisthenics and cardiovascular workouts.
Mike's adaptable and diligent approach to pursuing his goal necessarily evokes something Carver said about optimists: "Of course, the expectation that things will work out for the best also helps them maintain emotional equilibrium. Being less stressed, they are less distressed."
Scare Week is full of surprises that cannot be revealed here without spoiling plot twists. But suffice it to say, the underlying force fueling the film's plot development is Mike Wazowski's optimism — his confidence that good things are going to happen, his ability to adapt his strategy to evolving circumstances, and resiliency in the face of adversity.
When optimism fails
There may be times when optimism proves to be a hindrance to happiness. However, the notion that optimists will feel downright discouraged when things don't go according to plan is actually very much a myth.
"If someone expects things to go well and they turn out badly, you'd think that person will be very disappointed," Segerstrom said. "That actually turns out not to be true. People who are optimistic, when the bad thing does happen they either have no change in their psychological health or in some cases they're actually a little better off, probably because they cope so effectively with stress."
In order to illustrate one very slim downside to optimism, Segerstrom pointed to research that shows optimists may be susceptible to gambling addiction via slot machines.
"There's a study that had people playing a fake gambling game like a slot machine, and people that were optimistic were more likely to keep gambling if they were given more 'close calls,' " she said. "They felt like they were making progress — they were almost there, they almost had it.
"But of course there's no correlation between your performance on one spin of a slot machine and your performance on your next spin. So in that one situation optimism is not good, even though in 99.999 percent of situations it's an advantage."

The leaves on my grape plants have turned yellow. The veins are still green but the rest of the leaf is yellow. I added some iron about a week ago and have not noticed any change as yet. Is there something else I need to do?
Rate This FAQ
I am assuming that your grape leaves that are yellowing have veins that are a darker green color than the surrounding tissue. This is iron chlorosis and the reason that your iron application did not work is 1)it may not have been chelated iron. Chelated iron works best in our soils 2)it was applied too late in the season. It should be applied in spring just as the leaf buds swell and are starting to open. When applied mid-summer,when all the leaves are full size, it does very little good. There are foliar sprays that work temporarily, but are not long lasting. They could be applied now. Next year, apply chelated iron in the spring at leaf bud swell. Also watch the watering. Overwatering causes chlorosis.

Seems to be the best version yet,
This review is from: Audio Cleaning Lab MX (PC) (CD-ROM)
I have been a long standing user of Magix Audio Cleaning lab which has included the original and 2005 versions. Having recently upgraded my PC to Windows 7 has meant that the 2005 version has compatibility issues (though it does still work). I took a months trial out on the 2013 version which is OK but has been modified too much for my liking so instead I purchased the MX version.
The interface is very similar in layout to the 2005 version with some minor tweaks and improvements, all the shortcut keys are exactly the same so no re-learning needed. older projects also work fine.
CD ripping has improved in that there is now a database collection button whereas the older version relied on the CD having its own text file (rare) so you had to enter all details manually. There is no option to change the mode of ripping on this version though. One thing to note when ripping on MX and 2013 is that the rip seems faulty as the ripping progress window will sit at 0% for around a minute or more before the rip starts (I assume Magix is assessing the disc for the best ripping method and speed). Once the ripping starts it runs smoothly and quickly.
One advantage of MX over 2013 is the tracklist editor which is not fixed in size with large entry boxes for text fields whereas 2013 are small and the window is fixed in size. the editor is similar to 2005 except for the addition of MP3 tag fields.
If you are thinking of upgrading Cleaning Lab or are a first time purchaser of such software then I can highly recommend Audio Cleaning Lab MX

I am very keen on taking photos and i love sharing experiences with others concerning this passion. I have written several books about Picardie, the place where i live. I am just retired, near the Baie de Somme. I am a guide in a club of walkers. I love this site and learn a lot from all the members.
I love travelling. One thinks that one is going to make a journey. Yet soon it's the journey that makes you.

Soon you can use mobile before aircraft gates open
Flight pursers will no longer bother you if you want to make a call from your cellphone soon after your plane lands, thanks to a new procedure to be adopted by airlines across the country from Friday.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has amended the Aircraft Rules to provide for the use of cellular phones by passengers even before the aircraft comes to a halt.
Under the amended Aircraft Rules, passengers would be allowed to use mobile phones shortly after an aircraft lands, leaves the active runway, enters the taxiway and if there are no other runways or intersections for it to cross.
However, this procedure would not be allowed in cases of low visibility conditions, like fog, at the airport, an official spokesperson said.
Instead of barring people from using their mobiles till the aircraft has come to a halt and its doors are opened, the air hostess would now make the following announcement after getting clearance from the pilot-in-command: -- "Passengers are advised that the use of mobile phones after landing is now allowed. Aircraft has left the active runway and has slowed down. Passengers may use their mobile phones now."
The pilot-in-command would give clearance for such an announcement to be made on the plane`s intercom when visual or clear flight conditions exist and "when the Pilot-in-Command is comfortable," as per the fresh procedure.
The airlines have been asked to adopt the new procedure latest by October 22.
So far, the use of mobiles was allowed only after the aircraft has come to a complete halt and boarding gates opened. This was done to ensure that mobile signals do not disturb the communication between the cockpit and the air traffic control.
Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel had last month said that the Aircraft Rules were being amended for this purpose.

Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced today that the next Freedom-variant littoral combat ship (LCS) will be named USS Indianapolis.
USS Indianapolis, designated LCS 17, will be the third ship to bear the name. The previous Indianapolis is best known for its role in World War II, where it operated from Pearl Harbor and throughout the Pacific before being sunk by a Japanese torpedo minutes after midnight July 30, 1945. Only 317 of the 1,196 sailors serving aboard the ship survived after five days afloat in the Pacific Ocean. Indianapolis earned 10 battle stars for the ship's distinguished World War II service.
"I chose to name this ship Indianapolis because of the legacy this name holds," Mabus said. "When people hear Indianapolis, they will be reminded of the incredible bravery and sense of duty with which our men and women in uniform serve."
LCSs are designed to defeat littoral threats, and provide access and dominance in coastal waters. A fast, agile surface combatant, LCS provides war fighting capabilities and operational flexibility to execute focused missions close to the shore, such as mine warfare, anti-submarine warfare, and surface warfare.
Indianapolis will be built with modular design incorporating mission packages that can be changed out quickly as combat needs demand. These mission packages are supported by detachments that deploy manned and unmanned vehicles, and sensors in support of mine, undersea and surface warfare missions.
Construction of LCS 17 is contingent upon Congressional authorization and appropriation of fiscal year 2014 funding. The ship will be 388 feet long, have a waterline beam length of 58 feet and make speeds in excess of 40 knots. The construction will be led by a Lockheed Martin industry team in Marinette, Wis.

BizQuiz: Do you know how to fire? (Answer 5d)
Oct 23, 2009
5) D–Correct.
You harm your practice by not terminating an employee who fails to fulfill his or her responsibilities. You're sending the wrong signal to other employees, basically telling everyone else that it's acceptable to break the rules. Or they may interpret your inaction to mean that this one employee is special and doesn't need to follow the rules. That's not the right message. You're also depriving yourself, your employees, and your practice from the productivity, good work ethic, and positive attitude of a great new addition to your team.

Videos: Pilot Brian Veatch crashes a plane into a house he used to own
It was plenty weird enough when a plane crashed into a house in a suburban neighborhood in Northglenn yesterday. But even stranger is word that pilot Brian Veatch, who survived the incident (no one on the ground was hurt, either), once owned the house he struck.
Brian Veatch, in a photo from his Facebook page.
Veatch's Facebook lists him as a helicopter pilot with Airspeed Ag Air, but he also flies planes, as seen in this shot from the page....
...and the succeeding image, which finds him posing alongside 9News personality Corey Rose:
Veatch and 9News' Corey Rose.
Back in May 2013, Rose interviewed Veatch as part of a 9News piece about new tech that's helping personnel attack fires from the air; the clip is on view below and identifies Veatch as a firefighter in addition to his other gig.
Also spotlighted on Veatch's Facebook page is this September 2013 snap, captioned, "Flying the Geico Banner over Mile High before the Broncos Game:"
Veatch was pulling a banner on Monday, too, while at the controls of a plane owned by a local firm called Drag'nFly Banners. But the message on it got far less attention than did the aircraft itself -- and where it came to rest. Continue for more about yesterday's plane crash in Northglenn, including more photos and two videos.

As reported by 9News, the crash took place around 3:30 p.m. yesterday in a Northglenn neighborhood south of West 112th Avenue.
Veatch not only survived the crash, but he was reportedly trying to put out the blaze that resulted when members of the South Metro Fire Department arrived.
Presumably, they know Veatch, who is ID'd as an engineer with the department.
The banner Veatch had been towing wound up about a block away.
The only occupants of the house at the time of impact were two dogs and a lizard, all of which were safely rescued.
Also unharmed were people in the neighborhood, a number of whom actually saw the crash.
Afterward, 9News checked ownership records on the house and discovered that someone named Brian Veatch owned it from 2000 to 2003.
The station's initial reports stopped short of confirming that this particular Brian Veatch was once the home's owner. But 7News is now reporting that Veatch has confirmed this fact -- not that he realized it at the time. Only after someone asked him about it in the wake of the accident did he make the connection, he's quoted as saying.
Talk about the mother of all coincidences. Here's 9News coverage of the crash, followed by the station's 2013 package featuring Veatch.

Between masters, the win is then just a question of technique, but it would take a long struggle before it was done. Marco resigned on the spot, knowing there was no realistic chance of saving the game.
I personaly think that they should try to include a few more puzzles like these, instead of having the large majority being games of "mate in (2,3,4)". It makes great variety for the daily puzzle, and the variety is a good benefit.
I second that notion.
? I don't get the point?

A's Rough Up Cubs Cuban Connection at Papago Park
Rob Whitenack (rehabbing from June 2011 TJS) threw two innings (27 pitches) of shutout ball with three strikeouts, but Cuban southpaws Gerardo Concepcion and Frank del Valle allowed a combined seven runs on 10 hits, five walks, a HBP, and two wild pitches over the next six innings, as the Athletics defeated the Cubs 7-4 in Extended Spring Training action this morning on Field #2 (AKA "Connie Mack Field") at the Papago Sports Complex in Phoenix, AZ.
After throwing three innings of shutout ball and looking like a major league veteran in his EXST debut last Monday versus the Brewers (when he threw 75% strikes and kept the opposing hitters off-balance by effectively mixing-up his pitches), Concepcion showed today what happens when he pitches from behind in the count and has to throw a fastball over the plate.
He had an excellent first inning of work, striking out the side (including the first two hitters on six pitches), but then began to pitch from behind starting with his second inning, eventually allowing six hits (including three wall-banger doubles), and even walking the bases loaded at one point.
Concepcion's strength is throwing strikes (especially "strike one") and then working the hitter, so when he struggles with his command (as he did in his later innings today) he can get nailed, and it isn't pretty.
Here is the abridged box score from the game (Cubs players only):
1. Shawon Dunston, Jr, CF: 1-4 (1B, 4-6 FC, F-9, L-4, SB)
2. Anthony Giansanti, DH #1: 0-4 (K, K, F-8, P-3)
3. Dan Vogelbach, 1B: 1-3 (BB, K, 2B, 4-3)
4. Jeimer Candelario, 3B-DH: 1-3 (1-3, 2B, 5-3, R)
5. Xavier Batista RF-DH: 1-3 (F-8, 1B, L-3, RBI)
6. Wilson Contreras, DH-C: 1-3 (3-U, 5-4-3 DP, 2B, R)
7. Danny Lockhart, 2B: 2-3 (1B, K, 2B, R)
8. Wilfredo Petit, C-DH: 0-2 (F-7, 6-3, BB)
9. Carlos Penalver, SS: 0-3 (K, 4-3, 5-4 FC, R)
10. Garrett Schlecht, LF: 2-3 (1B, K, 1B, RBI)
11a. SLOT WAS SKIPPED FIRST TIME THRU BATTING ORDER
11b. Delbis Arcila, RF: 1-2 (K, 1B, RBI)
12a. SLOT WAS SKIPPED FIRST TIME THRU BATTING ORDER
12b. Mark Malave, 3B: 0-2 (6-3, 3-1)
1. Rob Whitenack: 2.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K, 27 pitches (20 strikes), 2/1 GO/FO
2. Gerardo Concepcion: 3.1 IP, 6 H, 5 R (5 ER), 3 BB, 5 K, 1 WP, 1 BALK, 69 pitches (41 strikes), 1/4 GO/FO
3. Frank del Valle: 2.2 IP, 4 H, 2 R (2 ER), 2 BB, 4 K, 1 HBP, 1 WP, 77 pitches (36 strikes), 2/2 GO/FO
4. Roderik Pichardo: 1.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K, 1 WP, 17 pitches (10 strikes), 0/3 GO/FO
1. SS Carlos Penalver - E-6 (overthrow to 1st base on infield single allowed batter-runner to advance to 2nd base)
2. C Wilson Contreras - E-2 (errant pick-off attempt at 1st base allowed base-runner to advance to 2nd base)
1. Wilfredo Petit: 0-1 CS
2. Wilson Contreras 0-1 CS, 1 E (see above)
WEATHER: Partly cloudy and VERY breezy with temperatures in the 60's
Re: A's Rough Up Cubs Cuban Connection at Papago Park
Baez out. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Re: A's Rough Up Cubs Cuban Connection at Papago Park
Phil, two questions: (1) any chance you have seen or will get a chance to look out the manual the Cubs are giving each minor league player? (2) I personally don't mind a player like Baez showing what HS/College players around here call 'swag'. Do you think any of these 'incidents' would prevent Baez from moving up to Peoria, or will they just wait until June and send him to Boise?
Re: A's Rough Up Cubs Cuban Connection at Papago Park
Thanks, Phil. I'm sensing this administration has less urgency to aggressively advance high profile prospects which I'm OK with that.
Re: A's Rough Up Cubs Cuban Connection at Papago Park
I wonder if it's simply unique to this year. I don't recall theo or jed as xconservative in their previous stops. This, though, is such a clear rebuilding year.
Re: A's Rough Up Cubs Cuban Connection at Papago Park
I'm very intrigued as to what the draft will bring in.
Re: A's Rough Up Cubs Cuban Connection at Papago Park
The draft has always been a gold mine for Epstein, because he always ended up with the equivalent of 4 or 5 first round choices, because of the ability to pay large prices to lower round choices, as the Cubs did last year.
But the new labor agreement makes that extremely difficult to do, and Epstein is likely to end up with a draft that is more in line that of the rest of baseball.
That said, the number 8 choice should bring in a really good pitching prospect, and the two extra draft choices should also help a lot.
Re: A's Rough Up Cubs Cuban Connection at Papago Park
We draft sixth, but yeah. A large part of Theo's success is that he tends to figure out which hitters will be able to hit off-speed stuff before draft day. The Cubs usually wouldn't find out until their third year in the bigs.
Re: A's Rough Up Cubs Cuban Connection at Papago Park
well, b.wilson (SF) throwing 90mph lately makes more sense...torn elbow...fun.
Re: A's Rough Up Cubs Cuban Connection at Papago Park
Az Phil:
At the Cubs convention in January they had a "family" session with the Brenlys, the Dunstons and the Lockharts. Although Danny Lockhart seemed pretty quiet and mostly is a 2B prospect, I'm wondering what your thoughts are as to his "prospect" status after seeing him a few times now.
Re: A's Rough Up Cubs Cuban Connection at Papago Park
Byrd to Boston rumors pick up due to Ellsbury subluxing his shoulder (early estimate, out 6-8 weeks)
Wittenmeyer also says Sveum is considering using the LaRussa pitcher bats 8th gimmick. Seems doubtful as the Cubs don't even have one real leadoff man let alone two.
and the Cubs are looking for veteran relievers...
''We worked to acquire starting pitching depth over the course of the winter, but we traded out of the bullpen,'' Hoyer said, ''so replenishing that depth is something we're going to be looking to do throughout the summer.''
Re: A's Rough Up Cubs Cuban Connection at Papago Park
Maybe they'll have to shop some starters to do so. Or shop your bats, then trade from the rotation when you realize you don't have bats. /fun
Re: A's Rough Up Cubs Cuban Connection at Papago Park
The RedSox designated Michael Bowden for assignment. I wonder if Theo & Co. would have an interest in bringing him over.
Re: A's Rough Up Cubs Cuban Connection at Papago Park
-michael boden + nate spears....wtf?
Re: A's Rough Up Cubs Cuban Connection at Papago Park
no cubs stuff in Cafardo's sunday baseball notes...but he went on a food tangent:
8. If you can afford a few calories, try the "Moby Dick'' offered by the Lake County Captains of the Single A Midwest League for 20 bucks. It's about 4,000 calories of five quarter-pound fish filets, eight slices of cheese, 6 ounces of clam strips, a third of a pound of french fries, and a cup of cole slaw topped with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and, of course, tartar sauce on a 15-inch hoagie roll. At least it's healthy fish.
From the Bill Chuck files: "The Washington Nationals are offering the 'StrasBurger' - an all-beef burger (combination of ground brisket, chuck, and short ribs) served on a large bun with secret sauce, American cheese, shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, sliced red onions, pickle chips, and weighing 8 pounds total.''
if the Cubs go into that kind of promotion, I'd expect to see the Soto Brownies (instead of the hot chocolate and cookie vendors).
Recent comments
Didn't see the game, but it sounded like the Cubs gave away 2 runs with poor fielding. Bummer.
Well, it's been a fun diet of Reds, Brewers and Braves, but now the Cubs have to play real teams in May (Pirates, Nationals, SF, Cards and Dodgers) -- hope we are all still smiling when we wake up on Memorial Day.
He does seem out of synch. His body seems to start forward, then his arms sort of try to catch up -- if that's his normal swing, he will never hit for power. It's an all-arms slasher swing, but the timing seems off.
He is currently slugging .256 -- I realize the weather has been bad, but that's epically bad. Currently 92nd out of 94 qualified NL batters. Yikes.
Weird home stand -- 3-1, with 2 rainouts, vs. two teams that will lose 100 games. Feels oddly disappointing.
Miserable baseball weather all week -- hopefully better weather will get the bats going. Not just walking, but actually hitting.
That strike call on LaSterlla was terrible
I was hearing some talk that John Mallee is trying to change Heyward's swing. Wonder if that is lending itself to the slow start.
rollercoaster loss...ugg.
at least it wasn't a "nobody showed up" stomping.
anytime you wanna jumpstart your season would be nice, heyward.
Now looming VERY large. Game tied.
That Braves TOOTBLAN trying to stretch a double into a triple is looming very large.
Phil, do you know if Victorino has an opt out date approaching? Thanks.
Maybe he can even fall asleep/passout at a red light. #cardinalway
hopefully he has enough time to pound 6-10 beers before the drive back home.
: / )
Yeah, there's that....
CTSteve -- have they decided to skip tomorrow's game...? (I keed)
Not a bad thing -- Bryant and Miggy are hurt, and Ross could use a day off.

A man who worked as a security guard under contract for Sound Transit has been charged with voyeurism after he allegedly showed a colleague a six-minute cellphone video of a woman's crotch taken on a light-rail car.
According to King County prosecutors, Timothy R. Funkhouser, 35, of Federal Way, was working for Securitas at Sound Transit's light-rail station at SeaTac in March when he allegedly asked a colleague if he wanted to see a video of a "hot girl."
Funkhouser then pulled out his personal cellphone and showed his co-worker a six-minute "continuous crotch shot" of a woman on the train,
prosecutors said in court documents filed Thursday, charging Funkhouser with one count of voyeurism.
He allegedly showed his co-worker how he took the video, clipping his phone to his belt and angling it at the woman and said he'd done it numerous times, according to charging papers.

The co-worker said Funkhouser told him he was "surprised" he hadn't been caught.
Later, the co-worker watched as Funkhouser got on the escalator behind a 20- to 22-year-old woman who was wearing a short skirt and placed his cellphone near, or on, the stair below her, prosecutors say.
The co-worker reported it to their employer, Securitas, and Funkhouser was called in to human resources, interviewed and suspended, according to court documents.
Police and prosecutors say that while Funkhouser was leaving, he talked to a man who was on the elevator with him.
The man on the elevator worked for human resources and later told police that Funkhouser talked to him about getting in trouble for "taking pictures up girls' skirts," prosecutors say.
The human-resource employee said Funkhouser told him he would not trust co-workers with secrets again and then showed him how he angled his phone with the camera facing upward and confided that if caught he could claim to be fixing his socks, prosecutors said.
After police served a search warrant on Funkhouser's residence and vehicle, seizing a computer, four cellphones, thumb drives and CD discs, he was interviewed by detectives, court documents say.
Police say in court documents that they found a number of images of women that appeared to have been taken without their knowledge.
Funkhouser is alleged to have told police he "had to try" to capture pictures of women's private areas and allegedly admitted he did so for sexual gratification and "male arousal," according to charging documents.
Funkhouser and his wife of seven years separated last August and she filed for divorce in October, according to court records that don't indicate the reason for their split.
The couple have a 5-year-old daughter, and it appears Funkhouser has a 10-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, the records show.

Your local movers in Abilene, TX
Allied Van Lines: The Best of Abilene Moving Companies
Located in Texas' North Central Plains, Abilene is set among the gorgeous southeast reaches of the Panhandle surrounded by immense natural beauty. To the north, you'll find the rushing Red River, while the Edwards Plateau lines the southern horizon. Eastward is the Cross Timbers region, and you need not look far to the west to find the Llano Estacado. With all these intriguing geographical features, it's no wonder people are drawn to Abilene to get closer to nature. The climate is pleasantly warm most of the year, dipping only as low as about 32 degrees Fahrenheit on average in winter. However, temperatures can reach up to 95 degrees in July. But the city offers much more than outdoor delights, and the 12,000 residents who proudly call this city home know it as the region's hub for industry, transportation, commerce and education.
Among the most popular pastimes for Abilene residents are outdoor adventures. A walk over to Buffalo Gap Historic Village will let you meander along paths to see these majestic creatures, or you can kayak the Red River, explore the woodlands of the Cross Timbers or engage in a variety of other exciting activities among the surrounding plains.
In the center of the city in the downtown area is where you'll find a lively nightlife scene. There's no lack of dining, shopping and culture. Among the most beloved eating places are Lytle Land & Cattle Co, where you can indulge in some steak and seafood, the causal Beehive cafe and Bogie's for custom-made sandwiches. If you're thirsty for some libations, head to Linda's Lounge, Jack Rabbit Slim's or Chelsea Street Pub for a cocktail or beer. Residents can browse the items at the Mall of Abilene or Shops at Abilene, then catch a movie at one of the three theaters: Century 12 by Cinemark, Carmike Park Central and Premier Cinema 10.

It was just as I expected, did every thing right. There was a lot of art sculptures and art pads , it arrived in perfect condition.
I don't have any other company to compare them to but overall the move was smooth and easy. Eric was great to work with. Customer is waiting for a refund. Two of the helpers were inexperienced. Eric and Virginia did a great job.
The crew that loaded my belongings, I was very impressed with them. They loaded it and covered it. Some of the boxes were upside down and bent, a little rough on the handling. I found a couple of items mishandled
The way my rep responded to my concerns, his attitude. The wrap up of getting my final invoice I had to ask for it versus them just sending it to me.
Allied Van Lines was very nice they had great communication and they got everything done on time. They were to crate the marble items but that was organized by the move coordinator.
It was a good process, and everything went well, except that I wish that there was a little bit more of communication to make arrangements to get the boxes that have been unpacked.
Dealing with Mary and how she explained things to me and answered our questions. They did a good job.
They were attentive & cared about doing a good job. They were not the cheapest bid, but I gained a lot of confidence w/Allied from the estimator. They moved my 85 year old mom & I'd give them a 10+. The driver was great. He was professional. He called ahead of time to let us know when the del will take place.
They were very friendly, nice and did what I asked them to do. They were careful with my things. Overall, I feel they did an excellent job.
They did a fantastic job. There was no damage. They did an excellent job of protecting things to prevent any damage.
It was a seamless process. Everyone was friendly. The crew who loaded my goods in Cleveland was the same guys who did the unloading here. Overall, this was a good experience for me.

Some Biofuel Feedstock Estimates 'Overstating' Yields
Estimates for potential biofuel feedstock crop yields from some widely cited research studies may overstate those yields by as much as 100 percent, according to research by the International Council on Clean Transportation.
One key factor in developing a sustainable biofuels policy is to realistically estimate the amount of biomass that can on average be grown on a given amount of land to produce cellulosic biofuel. But Will energy crop yields meet expectations? found that the highest predicted yields, and associated expectations of how much biomass could be grown for energy, could not be supported by an overview of studies in this field.
The study, which was published in the journal Biomass and Bioenergy, examined reported yields of five important energy crops miscanthus, switchgrass, poplar, willow, and eucalyptus. A handful of studies on biomass production report very high yields, but the ICCT found that these were all extrapolated from very small experimental plots, intensively irrigated and weeded, and carefully hand-harvested. These are conditions that would not be replicable at commercial scale. Studies that grew energy crops over larger areas and used conventional harvesting techniques have shown much more modest results, but these more realistic experiments are not always the ones highlighted by bioenergy researchers.
Not only are commercial-scale energy crop yields lower than often thought, but they are not likely to improve rapidly over time. The ICCT note that agricultural practices and achievements in plant breeding or genetic modifications that have increased yields of food crops over the past several decades, like intensive fertilization and increasing the ratio of grain to straw, generally do not work on energy crops. Miscanthus, for example, often considered a top candidate for large-scale biomass production, is a hybrid between two types of plants and cannot reproduce by seed, which significantly slows down research.
But the authors stressed that their findings should not be interpreted to mean that policies supporting cellulosic biofuel are misplaced insisting that, if the idustry is to thrive, we need more, not less support for cellulosic biofuels.
Lower biofuel feedstock prices could drive down the price of fermentable cellulosic sugar allowing bio-based chemicals and biofuels to be made from more plentiful non-food sources, helping them better compete with petroleum-based chemicals and fuels, according to a study by Lux research released in November.
Lower feedstock prices could drive down prices of fermentable cellulosic sugar to $0.26/kg, down from $0.32/kg to $0.36/kg, competitive with sugars from corn or sugarcane, according to Cellulosic Chemicals and Fuels Race to Compete with First-Gen Sugar Economics.
