get rid of the guy that was working the morning of 11-24-14. He was rude and bitchy because someone scheduled my trailer plug install while he was the only one there. He would not do the install because I did not have a uhaul trailer brake. When I made the appointment i was not informed i had to use one of theirs. Why should I have to buy another one when mine is fine. Long story short he kicked me out of the store.
Customer did not leave a comment.
Be honest and upfront with your customers, don't lie to them.
waited & waited in line, then told to move our car. BUT, NO CUSTOMER PARKING! Attendant does not speak to people, just quickly says what has been memorized. I'm left feeling like cattle.
They're fast and professional.
Great customer service
Nothing I had a great experience I will always come to same location for rentals.
When I picked up the trailer I purchased a set of ratchet straps. I told the guy helping me that I needed something that worked with the trailer I was renting. Sure enough, they didn't! I had to make modified tie downs with twine. However, when I turned in the trailer both clerks were very helpful.
Customer service was great. The men were very polite and explained everything to me. This is the only u haul that I deal with. Thank you. Ruby Cancil.
It was one of the worst. Experienes of my life.1St. They did not explain or even tell me about the mandatory deposit. Then when i returned it they stood there with their hand out and took all of the 100 deposit and then some more for fees that were not explained upfront at all. It was a very local move and should have been about 50 bucks. When i left there i felt robbed.. worst move of my life thanks to uhual...
Excellent transaction and the two men who assisted were polite, knowledgeable and provided fast service.
Personnel working at location far from helpful
Remove the homeless guy that was sitting in front of the store. He had his stereo plugged into your outlet and was listening to Christian music, which was cool!
Until he scared my son-in-law when he yelled. SHUT UP SATAN!
I wouldn't change a thing. The gentleman that helped me was excellent. He went through all the steps with me. took the time to explain everything about the truck and my storage. Loaded my dolly in the truck and showed me the storage unit to make sure my stuff would fit. Being a senior citizen woman he treated me with respect. I Would recommend him and THIS U-Haul business to everyone.
Very poor management and aggressive...
The individual at the central reservations was so disconnected that he did not reserve what we asked for. I asked for an auto trailer and he insisted on giving us a car dollie when we specifically said we did not want to remove the drive line on our Subaru. When I showed up to the pick up location they told me I reserved a dollie. I told them what I wanted and they helpfully changed it. Your reservation person needs to listen to the customer.
We only needed the U-Haul trailer for half a day. It would have been great to get credit back for using it less than 48 hours. Even if it was a credit for the next U-Haul rental.
The van that was given to me had a broken visor on the drivers side and the floor in the cargo area had oil or grease on it.......Most of it. It was like someone carried auto parts in it. Had to buy a tarp and put it on the floor to keep my stuff from getting oil on it. The staff at the u haul location was very professional.
The store was very clean and in good repair, however, it is located in a high crime region of town. The truck I received was very clean, but it had a 1" hole drilled into the gas tank that none of the store operators noticed before issuing it to me. I made it home to find a puddle of gas on my driveway. Roadside assistance worked to get the truck towed and get me issued a new truck, but this was a large hassle and cost me valuable time on my day off.
You have no place to park customers cars when they rent trucks from you. Your trucks are not well maintained.
Worst service I have received after I dropped off my rental truck. The person that inspected the truck do not have a clue on what customer service means. I have used this location many times before but I will take my business else where from now on.
Took me 20 minutes to check out the truck. I already had a reservation. However, there was only one person in the counter. Not enough personnel. Had to wait another 10 minutes to wait for someone to accept the truck.
U-Haul cost me over $300 for secrewing up my ORDER...You were supost to have a 26 FT truck at this location at 900 AM...it was not there....Thank god they had a 17 FT...i Only had it for 1 day and had to drive all they on the other side of Tacoma and get a SMALL 14 FT Truck and at .99 A Mile I spent a TON OF MONEY....I AM SO SAD THAT NO ONE EVEN GAVE A SHIT THAT IT TOOK ME AN EXTRA 2 DAYS AND A TON MORE MONEY
The fuel gauge and speedometer did not work, it broke down on the road and all we got was a $25 certificate.
Vehicle had hint of smoke odor.
Quick and easy. Very professional
My family has done business with your company for so many years and i wouldn't trust any other company to move any of my belongings accept your company.
Michael made several snide comments about customers in front of several groups for not knowing where to park. We all commented that this guy has some attitude issues. Uhauls are spread all over the Tacoma area, I'd highly suggest people go elsewhere to avoid dealing with this guy. Moving is stressful enough, we dont need to start the day by being insulted by the person you're paying to do business with. Unbelievable.
Keep the crew you have in place
Parking for customers is lacking. The guys working there are all great!
Very easy transaction.
This location has earned my business. They go the extra mile to make sure I am happy. I love the employees at the Pacific ave location. On a side note, the ignition was not working right, it took a while each time I started it to get the key to turn.
the lobby was over crowded with people! The line was out the door and there was only 1 person working so I felt really bad for her being there all alone. She handled it really well and was able to give us all the help we needed. I think management should make sure that there is adequate staffing so people don't have long waits and you don't put the 1 person that is working in a bad position.
Give this experience to everyone!
The equipment i reserve is never at the pick up location i select.
Lower pricing! I drove 19 1/2 miles and with gas it cost $85.00!
Great employees
My experience was terrible! My car was blocked in by trucks, I was not told that there was no customer parking at this location. Consequently, when I dropped off my truck, clean and ready for the next customer, I was unable to retrieve my car. I called UHaul the next morning, and the customer service representative assured me that she had sent a message to the location, asking them to move the trucks so that I could retrieve my car that evening after I was off work. This was on Sunday. When I went to the location on Sunday evening, my car was blocked in even worse! I had to call UHaul customer service again, and I was directed to Roadside Assistance. I was on the phone for 45 minutes and was told it was my fault that this happened. When an employee finally arrived to unblock my car, he was rude and surly and disrespectful to me. I will never use this UHaul location again, and I expect that my rental fees and gas will be returned to my credit card for this terrible experience!!!!
Very understanding when I needed to keep the uhaul and didn't get it back on my scheduled day. Thanks uhaul.
I had to wait 15 mins for someone to help me when I was on time for my appointment. The person that finally helped me didn't explain how anything worked. Such as the controls on the inside, or how to open and close the back. Icing on the cake was the fact that I barely had a 1\4 of a tank of gas. All of this put me behind schedule by 45 mins.
I dealt with two different employees, one at pick up anf one at drop off. Both were very pleasant to deal with. Sorry, I have no specific names.
Awesome customer service. I was able to reserve a truck with only a days notice.. they also were able to rent me a storage space on the spot. No wait, no hassle.. I am very happy with my uhaul experience. A great big thank you to all who helped me.
great fast service
On time, quick, careful and friendly
Efficient, on-time service. Personnel were pleasant and polite.
Not sure. We had no problems whatsoever. Thank you.
Very nice employees, a little inconvieniant, for pods , when they don offer one way rental but overall everything as done professionally at this site
Truck was not clean (especially the cab and behind seats), had food debris, dust, cigarette ashes and appeared poorly maintained.
The team here was very helpful, got my vehicle trailer hooked up, made sure everything was safe and I was on my way quickly.
Customer service was very good. People were all friendly and helpful.
I rented a 26 ft truck to move a 4 bedroom house so all space in truck was needed. I also rented a appliance dolly. However, in addition to what I rented there was another dolly attached t the truck. It was in the way of my furniture but the mover said if I detached it I would be charged for it. This is unfair since I rented the entire truck but didnt have use of the entire truck. The mover was able to work around the problem but U Haul shouldn't try to trick people into using equipment and then charging them for it.
Such wonderfully friendly and accommodating people at this U-Haul. Unusually so. : )
Truck kept cutting of and was hard to start
The staff was dealing with a woman who was beligerant and clearly under the influence of drugs. The staff remained professional with her but clearly stated they couldn't help her. They did great dealing with her and gave me great service. Thanks
both pick up and drop locations were good nothing to improve.
Have someone wash vehicles after return
Mike was excellent
I reserved at another location and when I went to pick up it wasn't there so I had to go to another location to pick up. Unacceptable!
Everything was great! All fast and easy! The guy in the office even hooked up the trailer for me even though im a car hauler myself! Thanks for the excellent service!
Your employees ( a man and a woman) were extremely rude. When I first walked in they were talking about another customer is a disrespectful way. Then the male took me to my truck pulled it out and then just walked away. I stood there for like 10 minutes and he was off doing something else didn't say anything about me being able to take off . So I finally asked if it was ready to go and he just responded you should have already left then rolled his eyes and went about what he was doing. A class or 2 on customer service would greatly help your business
My brother in law picked up the truck for me and they told him they would reimburse him for any extra gas that was over the quarter tank in the truck when he bought it back, because the gas was so low. But then they did not reimburse him, even though he returned the truck at 5/8 of a tank.
Moving is always stressful whether it is just across town, or a couple thousand miles away. However, Justin made this experience a little easier. He was not only a phenomenal employee, but a great person to work with! I was slightly worried about driving such a large truck, however Justin took the time to explain every detail and eased my concerns. He also explained all paperwork very thoroughly and answered all questions. I would definitely return to this facility!
This facility is difficult to get out of since it is unidirectional forcing the patron to exit into the ever busy traffic on Pacific Ave.
Customer service called me multiple times during my move. I was very busy packing and moving and was interrupted at least 2 times answering questions about my rental that could have been answered during drop off.
The location for this U-Haul service would be convenient for someone living nearby as it is close to Hwy 512 for access. However, without my knowledge or consent, pickup for the trailer I rented was moved to this location from the local location I had requested near my home some 22 miles away. It entailed extra tolls and over an hour round trip to pick up the trailer and over an hour again to return it. Supposedly the store left a message that the pick-up location had changed but I never got a message. When not reaching the customer a follow up call AND email should have been used; they had both ways to contact me. Communication should be better with customers. The trailer I reserved on 6-24-14 was ready for me on 7-30-14 but in a very inconvenient, ridiculous location. I will not use U-Haul again.
Overcharged and Impossible to contact location. Given bad information repeatedly. No return call from location. Even left multi messages on Michael cell phone, 253 365 7712 still no response.
Impossible to contact location. Given bad information repeatedly. No return call from location. Even after leavening multi messages on managers Michael cell phone, 253 365 7712 still no response.
They lost my paperwork.I called customer service 4times,was told someone would call me back,no one did.Box was delivered late.Was told I would recieve a refund.Haven`t receive it.Bad customer service.
Mike was profession and knew his job unlike some other employees I have encountered during this process.
The main guy there. I believe he was the manager is unbelievable!!! I will always use your facility ONLY because of him!!!!
This was a move of a Ubox from Virginia to Washington. Done within time frame without me having to contact either end to follow up and find my box for delivery or pickup.
very good service
I was assisted by a young man named Michael on October 5 around 2:30 PM. I cant recall his last name but he needs a promotion! Michael went above and beyond providing EXCELLENT customer service!!!
The Manager at Parkland was very helpful. We moved last minute on a holiday weekend and the u-box was a great method for our temp move while our house was being built. Thanks!
The facility has awesome staff.
Very friendly and helpful staff at Parkland U-Haul
Awful experience. No communication was possible with the manager, they did not submit the paperwork they needed for over a week so my ubox was late. Will not use uhaul in the future.
Employees need TRAINING in customer service, product how to use a fork lift. Also store was deserted - had to search for 15-20 minutes for an employee
The employee at this location was staggeringly incompetent. He did not attach my paperwork to the box and he almost dropped my box off of the forklift.
Staff very helpful and friendly. James very helpful.
Manager Mike S. worked with us and was the ONE redeeming quality in this terrible experience. He FOUND our missing Uboxes in CA and got them delivered.
Parkland store is amazing especially the manager Mike. I was burned badly by the Olympia store by not having the boxes when I arranged to have them and Parkland more than made up for it.
Suck suck suck
Excellent service!
shipping was late items were damaged claims line unresponsive.
This was the WORST experience once out of Fresno CA, I will NEVER recommend U-Haul to anyone... Charged credit card with knowledge, does not answer phone calls.....
Excellent staff
The manager is a very helpful man, and gave me overhall great me good impression of Uhal.
The only issue was that the U-Box was nearly 3 hours late. Need to improve the system a bit, although I know it is still relatively new. Other than that, great job.
They were always great.
The cost is high, and the number of phone numbers needed to rent a space is stupid. I will be using the space for as short a time as possible .
This facility was by far the best of all that we had to deal with- the facilities in Kansas were not as friendly and helpful.
My only critique from my experience is that renters who move out their belongings before the end of the month should get pro-rated for that time. Great experience and memorable customer service.
Couldn`t get a person on the phone to get my boxes delivered. Called 7 times sent 2 emails. Finally drove 30 minutes to facility to get boxes delivered. The guy who dropped off was friendly helpful.
Store receipt was faded and unreadable thus when I filled to get reimbursed for my move it was declined so I am out $2500+ because someone was too cheap to replace the toner
Please be more specific on height of storage rooms. It would greatly assist us.
Pete was especially helpful! thanks Pete!!
overall it was a good experience
thanks a lot
Great company to work with they even fixed the lights on my truck when I picked my box up in Tacoma
Staff was friendly some what but customer service call center was very poor.Didn`t have things prepared when I was told they would be, was provided with the wrong info and was charged twice
They called me when one of our daughters went to storage to make sure it was OK. Very impressive!
Very good experience with the U-Box! I would defiantely use again!
Excellent service and help. Some of the systems involving coordinating trailer and boxes are a little disconnected but the people I worked with made it very smooth.
pick up and drop off facilities were speedy and efficient
They debited my account without my permission. I have contacted the atterny general, and also my father whom is a lawyer. They will be hearing from me in regards to this matter.
It was convenient and great to have storage for a short period of time.
Good service, moved us to an outside unit that made unloading extra fast and easy. Really appreciate that extra consideration.
George Moody was very helpful with whatever I needed. Thanks George
The staff was very attentive and motivated to complete all transactions in a timely manner
we`ve had difficult times with another Uhaul facility,but this store was very nice,and helpful,I will recommend it to my friends,,thanx
Thank you George.
I was most impressed with the helpful, professional staff on hand to assist with my needs.
All persons at this facility were always helpful, polite, and pleasant to work with. I visited my storage several times and the entire staff is efficient and exceptional.
had a lot of rats!
Excellent and efficient service
Very helpful staff. Good storage unit if you will not need access around the clock.
The customer service was excellent
Good times
Very helpful staff.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Nelson in Iran discussing issues on behalf of, well, no one
CALGARY -- When you've got a fabricated human rights complaint about Canada, there's nothing like taking it straight to the undisputed champion of human rights -- Iran.
Terry Nelson, former chief of Manitoba's Roseau River First Nation, is in Iran this week to shoot off his mouth and make a fool of himself. His travelling companion is Dennis Pashe, the deposed chief of Manitoba's Dakota Tipi First Nation.
Nelson told the Winnipeg Free Press by telephone from Tehran Monday that Pashe "was the only one brave enough to come along." Or dumb enough.
Nelson is meeting with Iranian officials to talk about Alberta oil, western Canadian pipelines and his hopes of convincing OPEC to help aboriginals get in on resource-sharing. In an email he sent to other chiefs, obtained by the Free Press, he wrote: "We, the indigenous people in the three Prairie provinces, are currently the most powerful people in the world. We sit on the pipelines that deliver 2.5 million barrels of oil a day to the United States."
Nelson, Pashe and the Iranians can have all the meetings they want, but OPEC has no say over Canada's internal affairs, and as former chiefs, Nelson and Pashe have no say over aboriginal affairs. So it sounds like a meeting of equals -- all equally powerless.
When not discussing oil on behalf of no one, Nelson has been dissing Canada. In a recent letter to the National Post, he complained in part that "the Jewish media" demonize and dehumanize Iranians. And he likens Canada's policies toward aboriginal people to concentration camps and extermination. Now, here's where he's going to run into a bit of trouble from his hosts, and perhaps Nelson was so enamoured of his own extremist rhetoric that he didn't think of this earlier. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his loyal minions aren't going to believe him.
They're Holocaust deniers. They don't believe there were any concentration camps and they certainly believe there was no extermination. It's just that pesky Jewish media again, up to their old tricks, insisting that such things really did happen.
I'm sure Nelson believes the Holocaust happened. That's why he can throw around phrases like "concentration camps" and "extermination." But his hosts don't believe it happened. So, his analogy is going to fall on deaf ears. Gosh, I sure hope his whole trip isn't spoiled because of it.
Then, of course, it's unlikely that the Iranians know that the Canadian government has spent billions of dollars on aboriginal programs, including startup capital for aboriginal businesses, tuition for post-secondary education and money for job-skills training.
Well, maybe Nelson's other points will resonate with the Iranians. Like when he said in his interview on Iran's Press TV that aboriginal youth have more chances to end up in prison than to finish high school. He didn't mention that the choice between those two destinies is up to aboriginal youth themselves.
Like any teens, they can choose to commit crimes and get into trouble, or they can focus their efforts on getting an education and aspiring to a career. They can choose to be the generation that overcomes their parents' and grandparents' legacy of years in residential schools.
Nelson also said that the rates at which First Nations women are being sent to prison are part of "the ongoing effort by the Canadian government to exterminate us."
Wow. Next thing you know, Iran is going to invade Canada to crush totalitarianism here and try to establish democracy. That is, just as soon as they finish fine-tuning their nuclear capability.

Very quite hostel, good for a couple of days. Unfortunately the hot showers don't work all the time. The city is really cold during the night and early morning and the hostel is not so warm. Good points: wifi

The location was excellent and the showers were hot, but that is about all. Breakfast was a bun and some tea and coffee. The staff spoke no English. I also accidentally left my cell phone in the room and have been trying to contact them but because they dont speak English no one has responded.

Probably the worst hostel we've stayed in so far. No heating upstairs and the rooms are constantly freezing. You'll need a sleeping bag with you if you do stay here. Breakfast was practically non existent and wifi is really poor. Wish I stayed somewhere else.

Nice hot showers - a welcome break after freezing Uyuni! Security was good - front door always locked. Wifi in the room, but wasn't the fastest. Hostel has a nice feel - bit like a spanish hacienda.

Laundry service: soak your clothes in water and hang them to dry, so everything comes back as dirty. Breakfast: the most basic I've had in months of travelling, you're better off skipping it and asking for a discount instead. Staff: even in Spanish you only get dismal directions. Vibe: the lounge TV doesn't work, all you can watch there is who is coming out of the shower accross the patio. Rooms are so cold you don't need the freezer. Only heater on was in reception area (!). Wifi & showers ok.

I was given the key to my room with no orientation. The breakfast hour is only an hour long and it's early. At least they allowed for a late checkout. Also there was a piano, which I definitely enjoyed. No lockers that I saw, but I was alone in my room so no idea if that was just my room.

A New Zealand biscuit (cookie). Golden Syrup is becoming more available in the US. I can find it in the British aisle of my grocery store and recently found it in the baking aisle. If you cannot find Golden Syrup, you may sub 2 parts light corn syrup to 1 part honey. These should get really hard and are often dunked in tea. I haven't made these yet, so I don't know how many it yields. The cooking time is per batch. I have posted the mixed spice recipe I found to go along with this if you cannot find mixed spice near you.

There i s no need to spend thousands of dollars on a bed. Every store I went to had prices starting at $1700 and going up to $2500 just for a box spring and mattress. These last about 8 to 10 years anyway, and I've purchased 2 mattresses at less than $*** and they last the same amount of time. The last time was 10 years ago, and I don't expect this one that I just purchased to last any less than that. This one is comfortable and so far (only had it 2 weeks) very reliable.
Mattress Sets are non-returnable upon signature at delivery. Mattresses are non-returnable if opened or taken out of their plastic wrapping.

Chano Pozo played a major role in the founding of Latin jazz, which was essentially a mixture of bebop and Cuban folk music. He gained his musical background from Cuban religious cults. After moving to New York in 1947, he met Dizzy Gillespie who enthusiastically added him to his bebop big band. Among his features with Dizzy were "Cubana Be," "Cubana Bop," "Tin Tin Deo," and "Manteca"; Pozo co-wrote the latter two. Unfortunately, Chano Pozo had a hot temper and he was killed in a Harlem bar a month shy of his 34th birthday.
Luciano Pozo González, better known as Chano Pozo (January 7, 1915 in Havana - December 3, 1948 in New York City) was an Afro-Cuban jazz percussionist, singer, dancer and composer who played a major role in the founding of Latin jazz. Although he lived but 33 years, no discussion of Latin jazz is complete without mention of his name and no discussion of trumpet giant Dizzy Gillespie, the godfather of Latin jazz in the U.S., can begin without the name of Pozo, who was the first in a long line of Latin percussionists in Dizzy's various bands. Dizzy's dozens of Latin-flavored compositions, including the hit song "Manteca" and "Tin Tin Deo" (both co-written by Pozo), "Fiesta Mojo" and others—have Afro-Cuban drumming derived from the ritual rhythms of West Africa as their rhythmic backbones. Despite a short stint in Dizzy's band abbreviated by Chano's early death, Pozo's influence could be felt in Dizzy's playing and compositions for decades, which Dizzy acknowledged.
ContentsBiography1.1 Santería1.2 Carnival1.3 Tourism1.4 New York1.5 Death
Luciano "Chano" Pozo González was born in Havana to Cecelio González and Carnación Pozo. Chano's family (three sisters and a brother, as well as his older half brother, Felix Chapotín who became one of the great Cuban soneros) struggled with poverty throughout his youth. His mother died when Chano was eleven, and Cecelio took his family to live with his long-time mistress, Natalia, who was Felix's mother.
Chano showed an early interest in playing drums, and performed ably in Afro-Cuban religious ceremonies in which drumming was a key element. The family lived for many years at El África Solar (Africa Basement), a former slave quarters, by all accounts a foul and dangerous place, where it was said even the police were afraid to venture. In this environment criminal activities flourished, and Chano learned the ways of the street as means of survival. He dropped out of school after the third grade and earned a solid reputation as a rowdy tough guy, big for his age and exceptionally fit. He spent his days playing drums, fighting, drinking, and engaging in petty criminal activities, the latter of which landed him a stint in a youth reformatory. No official records document the crime he was sentenced for, though at least one account has him causing the accidental death of a foreign tourist, adding to a record of thievery, assault, and truancy. At the age of 13, Chano was sent to the reformatory in Guanajay, where he learned reading and writing, auto body repair, and honed his already exceptional skills playing a variety of drums.
During this time he became a devotee of Santería. Also known as "La Regla de Ocha", this is an Afro-Caribbean religion derived from traditional beliefs of the Yoruba people of Nigeria. Developed among Afro-Cuban slaves, the religion began as a blending of these West African spiritual beliefs and Catholic doctrine. Yoruba deities were identified with Catholic saints to fool the slave owners, as the Spanish colonialists had forbidden the practice of African religions. Chano pledged allegiance to the Catholic Saint Barbara, identified widely with Shango, the Yoruba god of fire and thunder, and took him as his personal protector. Both Shango and St. Barbara had associations with the color red, and for the rest of his life Chano would often carry a red scarf signifying his allegiance.
Upon his release from Guanajay, Chano returned to his father's house in Havana. Cecelio persuaded his son to practice his trade of bootblack, but Chano's temperament was not suited for this occupation and he quit after less than a year. In 1929 he took a job selling newspapers for El País, Havana's most influential publication, hawking papers on a number of street corners. His forceful nature and success in selling brought him to the attention of newspaper owner and influential businessman Alfredo Suárez, who hired Chano as his personal driver and bodyguard. He was rumored to have performed duties as debt collector or "leg breaker" for Suarez. Chano spent his free time dancing, singing, fighting, chasing women and playing his drums. He also began to compose music.
Chano's reputation grew among the people each year, not only because of his physical prowess as a dancer, drummer, and success with women, but for the compositions he wrote for Carnival, during the nightly celebrations of which neighborhoods formed highly competitive comparsas, or street troupes. They consisted of singers, dancers, musicians, and the ever-present rumberos. Mostly young, street-toughened drummers, rumberos were integral to each comparsa (something like a 'jam club'), since rumberos provided throbbing, sensuous rhythms regarded as the base for all Afro-Cuban music. In a few years Pozo was the most well-known and sought after rumbero in Cuba, with the most talented comparsas (local groups) vying for his services, and was regularly winning top cash prizes for his compositions. Chano elevated the status and reputation of rumbero to near mythic proportions with his swaggering attitude as he led his own comparsa through the streets and with increasing successes became a hero to Havana's poor people. Pozo and some of his fellow musicians wrote a conga music composition that earned them first prize in the city of Santiago de Cuba's carnival of 1940: "La Comparsa de los Dandys," a composition that some consider an unofficial theme song of Santiago de Cuba, and a familiar standard at many Latin American carnivals.
Cuba was by this time a popular tourist destination, with the biggest hotels, The Sevilla Biltmore, the Nacional, and El Presidente catering to rich Americans and Europeans, and Chano was determined to break the color barrier that restricted the employment of dark skinned people. He began to court musicians and others who might help him by auditioning in unusual places—such as in front of the Cuban-owned radio station Azul, which broadcast popular recordings as well as live Cuban folk music. Chano befriended many musicians who worked there, playing his drum on the street to catch their attention as they arrived for work. Though admired for his prodigious talent, dark skinned blacks were prohibited from working most venues outside of the slums, and Chano searched for opportunities. He found that opportunity with Armando Trinidad, owner of the radio station. Armando persuaded Chano to work for him as the bouncer for Azul, where his imposing size and reputation kept rowdy crowds in check.
To survive racial marginalization in Cuba, he worked cleaning shoes and selling newspapers. He first performed as a dancer in a Havana troupe known as The Dandy. His brother was the Cuban trumpeter Felix Chapotín.
He worked as a partner at the radio station Cadena Azul, where he met Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. Gillespie helped him launch Manteca, a hit in Cuba. He became the first musician to incorporate Afro-Cuban rhythms into American jazz, and is considered one of the founders of Latin jazz.
Once Pozo became famous, he also became renowned by his sense of fashion: his all-white top hat and tuxedo look predated that of Flavor Flav by at least 45 years.
New York[edit]
In 1942 he emigrated to the USA in search of a better life. In Chicago he joined the "Jack Cole Dancers," and later went to New York, where Mario Bauza named a club in the Palladium Ballroom after Pozo's hit song, Blen Blen.
Chano Pozo is one of a handful of Cuban percussionists who came to the United States in the 1940s and 50s. Other notable congueros who came to the U.S. during that time include Mongo Santamaría, Armando Peraza, Francisco Aguabella, Julito Collazo, Carlos Vidal Bolado, Desi Arnaz and Modesto Durán. Pozo moved to New York City in early 1947 with the encouragement of Miguelito Valdés, and participated in a recording session with Valdés, the legendary band leader Arsenio Rodríguez, Carlos Vidal Bolado and José Mangual. In September 1947, after Mario Bauzá introduced the two, he featured in Dizzy Gillespie's Big Band at Carnegie Hall and subsequently on a European tour. Their notable material includes "Cubana Be, Cubana Bop" (written by George Russell), and "Tin Tin Deo" and "Manteca", both co-written by Pozo.
Chano Pozo was shot and killed on December 2, 1948 in the Rio Bar at 111th St and Lenox Avenue in Harlem. The Rio Bar no longer exists—even the small triangular block where it was has been removed. Pozo's killer was a local bookie named Cabito. Pozo had accused Cabito of selling him poor quality dope and Cabito retaliated.
Pozo is buried in the Colón Cemetery, Havana.
His grandson Joaquín Pozo, who was living in Cuba as of 2006, is also a famous conguero.^ "Luciano Pozo González "Chano Pozo"" (in Spanish). Cir-integracion-racial-cuba.

While growth processes of nanostructures are well understood, the stability of artificial nanostructures has not been thoroughly investigated. Fully understanding the fluctuations of nanostructures and their interactions with their surroundings is essential in order to achieve complete shape control of nanostructures. In recent work, French scientists address the morphogenesis, instability and catastrophic collapse of nanostructures.Posted: Sep 7th, 2006
Nanocrystal engineering learned from biominerals holds promises for the development in biology, chemistry, and materials science. Biominerals have inspired novel bottom-up approaches to the development of functional materials for some time now. The morphology, crystallographic orientation, incorporated organic molecules, and emergent properties of carbonate-based biominerals already have been demonstrated. Typical examples of these biominerals are certain layers of seashells, corals, and eggshells. New research now clarifies that biominerals are oriented architectures of calcium carbonate nanocrystals 20?100 nm in size with incorporation of biopolymers.Posted: Sep 6th, 2006
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are considered the most promising material for field emitters and a practical example are CNTs as electron emitters for field emission displays (FED). CNT emitters are generally fabricated by indirect growth methods such as screen-printing and electrophoresis. These methods show advantages in lowering the coating temperature and scale-up of the substrate size, but the direction of CNTs cannot be well controlled and a post-treatment process is generally necessary to enhance the performance of CNT emitters. In contrast to the indirect method, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a common technique for growing nanotubes directly on the substrate with the assistance of metallic catalysts. With the CVD method, CNTs can be grown at desired locations with a specified direction. However,most synthesis technologies such as conventional thermal CVD or plasma enhanced CVD are performed at temperatures over 500 C, which may restrict the application of CNTs on plastic substrates. Therefore, lowering the growth temperature for CNTs is one of the important directions for facilitating CNT applications.Posted: Sep 1st, 2006
Recent developments in DNA-based nanotechnology have shown the suitability of this novel assembly method for constructing useful nanostructures. DNA molecules can serve as precisely controllable and programmable scaffolds for organizing functional nanomaterials in the design, fabrication, and characterization of nanometer scale electronic devices and sensors. DNA-templated metallic nanowires are such an example and over the past few years DNA scaffolds have been metallized with silver, gold, palladium, platinum and copper. DNA-based fabrication methods could ultimately lead to naturally bio-compatible nanodevices.Posted: Aug 31st, 2006
Microscale reactor technology has tremendous advantage over conventional macro-scale or batch chemical processes, and offers versatility for a wide range of applications including chemical analyses, drug discovery, radiotracer synthesis, and the fabrication of engineered nanomaterials. Attention is currently focused on developing scaleable process regimes, using an approach engineers call numbering up. Microreactor technology is defined by a series of interconnected, functionally distinct channels formed on a planar surface, utilizing either hydrodynamic or (EOF) for pumping, with channel dimensions typically between 10-300 microns.Posted: Aug 29th, 2006
Among many nanomaterials with distinct geometric shapes, spheres and cubes are the two simplest forms, yet they possess the highest symmetries. One of the obvious geometric merits of this class of materials is their low resistivity under fluidic conditions, as they can be essentially considered as zero-dimensional entities when their size is trimmed down to the nanoscale regime. So far, most hollow interiors of nanomaterials are created by template-methods. Researchers in Singapore for the first time demonstrated that nanostructured polyhedrons of functional materials with desired interiors can be synthesized template-free through a simple hydrothermal method.Posted: Aug 25th, 2006
Conventionally, the fabrication of thin film nanostructures is primarily done by using selective etching or templating growth on a prepatterned resist and then performing lift-off. The solvents used in developing resist are typically toxic and add to the cost of lithographic processing. Recently, many environmentally friendly lithographic processes have been designed using either a water-based solution or supercritical carbon dioxide to develop the resist. A novel pure water developable spin-coatable lanthanum strontium manganese oxide (LSMO) resist has been developed by scientists in Taiwan. The use of pure water instead of organic or alkaline solvents would undoubtedly be not only environmentally desirable but also could greatly simplify the imaging process.Posted: Aug 22nd, 2006
Current production methods for carbon nanotubes result in units with different diameter, length, chirality and electronic properties, all packed together in bundles, and often blended with some amount of amorphous carbon. The separation of nanotubes according to desired properties remains a technical challenge. Especially single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) sorting is a challenge because the composition and chemical properties of SWCNTs of different types are very similar, making conventional separation techniques inefficient.Posted: Aug 21st, 2006

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.


text: *Possible spoilers* Well I actually liked the film- alot. I on purpose didn`t review or check the box blurb since that gives away the entire plot all by itself. This film is best if you just pick it up because the Medieval-Witch picture on the front is your theme interest. The early scenes showing how many battles they`ve thought was a nice idea. I also liked the ambiguity where a lot of people watching the film would`ve just assumed it was superstitious medieval nonsense, but it wasn`t. The girl didn`t turn out to be the hapless innocent after all. the ending was a bit bit weak since the best part was wondering what was the truth of it and they seemed to run out of anything really clever to do at the end. Ron was great, but Cage, while ok, didn`t really do as much as I feel he could`ve. I think it was a good film, not terrible at all.

Robbins Goes From Disney to Direct
Exec guides DM shop into multichannel era
Aug 18, 2008
By Gregory Solman
The SMS brain trust: Michael and Chris Stannard flank Robbins.
http://www.adweek.com/aw/content_dis...0ee28b6d86513aLOS ANGELES When Gloria Robbins left Walt Disney Co. as director of sales and marketing for the Queen Mary and the Spruce Goose attractions to start her own direct response marketing shop in 1988, direct mail was even less glamorous -- and less profitable -- than it is today.
Robbins recalls the difficulty of getting Disney's roster shops to prioritize her direct-marketing projects. "Within Disney, with all its priorities, we'd be pushed to the back of the bus," she said.
Twenty years later, Robbins' shop, SMS in Santa Ana, Calif., counts Disney as a client. "More agencies are seeing direct in the forefront of trackable ROI in multichannel campaigns," Robbins said. "We're not a branding agency, but we've gone from ugly stepchild to a premier position."
SMS' survival was not a given, even for the irrepressibly positive Robbins. Creating her first direct mail pieces for the Gene Autry Western Heritage Museum and other early clients, Robbins employed her two (then) teenage sons, her mother as well as the retired mother of her original partner, Kris Drummond, who had been the senior promotions manager of the Queen Mary. (Robbins bought her out in 1994).
They stuffed envelopes and sent mail-order tickets from a downstairs bedroom and ran a 20-year-old labeling machine Robbins bought for $3,500 from a company that had long since retired it. Conference calls with clients were "faked" by having a partner pick up a phone in another room.
"I thought I would start the business with Disney," said Robbins, whose new business plan reverted to relentless cold calling. "Instead, I heard, 'Who are you again?'" Not above playing the woman- and minority-owned business card, Robbins laughs that she would even offer to fill out the client's compliance paperwork herself.
Six years later Robbins got Disney. And after three moves through strip-mall fulfillment centers, SMS operates out of an 82,000-square-foot facility and handles the likes of LG, Stremick's Heritage Foods and Kerns, among others. Billings are on target to exceed $10 million this year, she said. A milestone for Robbins, Lufthansa flew her team to Europe for a meeting alongside McCann Erickson.
