Kotor Port Review
Kotor is a relatively new tourist destination and is located at the end of a long bay, reminiscent of a fjord. Don't miss the sail in or sail out of Kotor bay as the scenery is spectacular with mirror reflections of the landscape in the waters of the bay. The old town is protected by a wall and a fortress high above the town on the side of the hill. The views from the fortress are stunning but requires a strenuous hike of about 45 minutes which can be quite challenging. However, the climb is worth the effort. The old town is characterized by small narrow streets that open up to squares and open market areas that are perfect for wandering and sampling the shopping and restaurants and cafes with many photo opportunities. There is a long portside promenade as well that is popular for strolling. A short 15 to 20-minute boat ride down the bay there is the town of Perast and two small islands off the town in the bay. One of the islands has a small church on it called the Lady of the Rock with amazing artwork and incredible photo opportunities. The town of Perast is still developing as a tourist destination and the main attractions are the many restaurants along the waterfront with the views of the islands and the bay. It is a great place to spend an hour or two with a coffee or a glass of wine.

Sailing into Kotor Bay
The sail into Kotor Bay was at dawn and the light changes made for some stunning views that are hard to capture in the photos. It was well worth getting up early for.
As we waited to go ashore, a Viking cruise ship entered the bay and we were able to watch it approach.
The only problem with the Viking ship was that its exhaust plume created a haze in the bay for the rest of the day. Our ship did not have any noticeable exhaust plume.

Path to the Fortress Walls
One of the most popular attractions is the view from the fortress walls high above the old town of Kotor. The climb is quite steep and includes about 1300 steps. In the morning, the rain prevented us from climbing to the top. The path is hard to see from pictures during the day, but at night the path is lit and you can get an idea of where it goes.

I already have a draft post that's been half-written for nearly a month now. The problem with that is that there's too much to describe and I think I'm a little too pedantic, which makes it more work than it really should be.
However, I had a lovely time in London over the weekend and thought I'd share a little of what I ate.
First, I made figs and goats cheese as a quick starter for lunch on Saturday. I believe figs are in season now, and the figs we bought certainly lived up to that, subtly sweet and juicy. I picked up some goats cheese from the butcher down the road – it's a gorgeous sweet, cheese with a rind and creamy outer layer similar to camembert, with a firmer, almost crumbly centre. After slicing the figs open with a cross-cut (see this for a proper written description), I wedged a small piece of the amazing goats cheese in the centre. Then I baked them at about 180-200°C for 5 to 8 minutes, just enough to melt the cheese and allow the figs to warm up a bit. It's a classic pairing and I certainly understood why after the first, warm burst of sweet and salty melted cheese in my mouth as I bit into the fig.
The second picture I want to share is something I ate in a restaurant, rather than what I'd made myself.
I met up with some old friends in Islington and we picked a restaurant at random, which was Comedor Grill and Bar. I lingered over the menu for a while before I finally decided on the scallops in parma ham, with pork belly. Just as the waitress was about to take my order I realised that it was served with black pudding lollipops, and unfortunately the only thing I don't eat is offal. When I brought up this problem, the incredibly bubbly waitress said that the chef would be able to substitute the lollipops with something else.
When the dish arrived I almost didn't want to eat it – it looked so pretty!
They substituted the black pudding lollipops with some incredible thick cut chips. The pork belly was crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside and the scallops were perfectly fried, the thin parma ham melding into the white flesh and creating a brilliant textural contrast. I can't exactly remember what all the purees were, but everything tasted great. The service was decent and the general ambience pleasant; we were also given tiny beef empanadas and jelly mojitos on the house to start. I'd definitely recommend eating in Comedor.
I had a great weekend, and the food definitely helped with that. I'm glad I had that weekend, as this week is turning out to be a surprisingly dreary one. I hope it takes a turn for the better, or that my self-motivation improves.

This is a voice from your past. You were here in Geneva several times, looking for property for a client. I am moving to a retirement home and, in
Sorting my CDs and DVDs to take, I came across "For Friends Only" that you so kindly sent me.
I wondered how you are and if you still sing; I fondly remember our jaunts to rural Kane County.
I retired in 2012 at age 92 and am still in reasonably good health; I hope you are, too.

#LovingTheBurg with Andrew Langer
For this edition of #LovingTheBurg, Gretchen sat down with Andrew Langer of the Langer Cast to discuss all the amazing places he's discovered in Williamsburg, military family life, and why he's been loving Williamsburg, VA since his youth.
When describing his perfect Williamsburg Saturday with family, Andrew says, "If I had to start a perfect Saturday it would start with the Farmers Market. Then a trek out to the winery for lunch. Then in the afternoon a trek out to one of the beaches on the Colonial Parkway. And in the evening something cultural."
To hear more about his family's adventures in the Burg check out this edition of #LovingTheBurg!

I arrived at the MTA's public hearing on the MTA's fare proposal to find that the meeting room was already full to capacity. A representative from the MTA announced that as long as attendants filled out a speaker form by 10am they would be alllowed to speak for one minute. By the time I filled one out, 287 people had already done so, which I thought was great. Soon thereafter the lobby of the building became full and security stopped allowing people into the building all together. I left and returned several hours later, since I figured if most of the people before me who had signed up to speak followed through it would take at least 4 hours.
I was among a lot of people who was shut out of the proceedings, so I was unaware that the board was considering a compromise proposal that involved less drastic fare hikes. I based my public commentary on the figures that had been looming before us for more than a month; an $8 day pass and a $120 monthly pass.
I was also unaware that that morning Antonio Villaraigosa had held a press conference to propose an alternative that involved raising fares by a mere %5 annually as well as borrowing. Supposedly he had released a blueprint on Monday, which I was unaware of. Were you aware of it? It wasn't on his website. For weeks the mayor said nothing about the fare hikes. I called his office several times over the course of several weeks, inquiring as to what his position was on this matter, but could not get an answer. For a mayor that talks such an excellent game on mass transit, I found the behavior strange, even disturbing.
I stand by my charges against him. He doesn't have the balls to challenge the anti-tax philosophy of conservative anglo-saxons. It is a charge that extends to the entire political establishment. There is a dragon that dominates society, and on it's scales are written the words, "Thou shalt not raise taxes." For people who want to transform the society, the challenge is to slay that dragon.
The Los Angeles Times has been citing the following statistic: the median household income for bus riders is $12,000. Based on the cost of housing in Los Angeles, it is hard to imagine that a person who earns that much could possibly consume more than $2,000 to $3,000 in taxable products and services. For such a person, a half cent increase in the local county sales tax would represent 10 to 15 more additional dollars in taxes per year. Nearly half of the MTA's budget is already financed by %1 of the local county sales tax, and a half cent increase would logically generate a proportionate amount. After Thursday's vote, such a person will be paying at least $23 more in fares per month by July 2009.
When the most regressive tax of all, the sales tax, represents such a sheer economic benefit to the poorest people of the society, it is time to slay the dragon. The ecological catastrophe we are facing as well as the inevitable, predictable, escalation in fuel prices and the possibility of fuel shortages should motivate us to do so. Our radical dependence on the automobile as the primary mode of transportation does not make sense either from an ecological point of view or an economic point of view. According to this Yahoo article citing the Government Accountability Office, the increase in U.S. gasoline prices this year has cost consumers an extra $20 billion, or about $146 for each passenger car. Complaining, handwringing and demonizing oil companies is pointless. The solution to the gasoline crisis is to increase the gasoline tax and fund mass transit. This can be done on the local, state and/or federal level.
For anti-tax people who may believe in their right to consume gasoline gratuitously, I suggest that they join the armed forces and enlist to fight in Iraq to secure oil resources. This Memorial Day, let us acknowledge the real reason why our soldiers are occupying a foreign country.
Before Thursday's fare hikes, Los Angeles had a mediocre mass transit system. After Thursday's fare hikes, Los Angeles continues to have a mediocre mass transit system. The only way to vastly improve it is through additional revenue through tax increases.
I plan on buying a car soon. I will be happy to pay $4.00 for a gallon of gasoline. How much better the society would be from an ecological, economic, and cultural perspective if people could live their lives to the fullest, as they can in other industrialized societies, without the necessity of owning a car. Unfortunately, there are too many irrational people in our society, and too many people who don't have the balls to challenge these people, and yet other people who are oblivious.

MPP Practicum Brings the Real World Into the Classroom
MPP Practicum Brings the Real World Into the Classroom
By Cristy Lytal
Photo by Edward Graham
From social media in Africa to "fracking" in California, the 2012 Policy Analysis Practicum challenged USC's Master of Public Policy (MPP) students to grapple with the most pressing issues of the day.
During the practicum, small groups of MPP students worked together to put theory into practice, serving as consultants for high-profile clients and performing in-depth policy analyses of real-world issues.
"They really have to go through the entire process of understanding what a problem is and figuring out how they can come up with a researchable question," said Christopher Weare, research associate professor at the USC Price School of Public Policy, who co-teaches the course.
Juliet Ann Musso, the Houston Flournoy Professor of State Government who co-teaches the course, added: "A lot of what's valuable about the practicum is that it helps students take these classroom skills that they've learned and actually realize how they can apply them. The students come out of it really feeling like they've learned how to work with people and produce something."
This year, clients included the Congressional Research Service (CRS), the RAND Corporation, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of African Affairs, the National PKU Alliance and the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group.

Students also worked with local public, private and nonprofit clients, such as the Los Angeles Neighborhood Initiative (LANI), the Boys and Girls Club of Hollywood, the Los Angeles Emergency Management Department/ Red Cross Los Angeles Region, the Los Angeles Food Policy Council, the United Way of Greater Los Angeles, the Coalition for Responsible Community Development and the Los Angeles County Chief Executive Officer.
Jacquelyn Chou, whose group explored small-business pension coverage, said she enjoyed working with her client, the CRS.
"It was the first time I've ever taken a research project of this scope and scale from beginning to end," she said. "They were a very engaged client, so it was a really wonderful learning process for us."
The student group traveled to Washington, D.C., to present their findings at a meeting attended by the director of CRS and more than 20 other staff members.

"They did their presentation [in April] to rave reviews from the people there," said Christine Scott, the client at CRS. "It was really very well done, and the information will be useful for us. The more information and more research the better. It all helps us in informing Congress."
The student groups credited USC Price with preparing them to achieve this level of success.
"Our study was unique in that it was both quantitative and qualitative, and that was really because of the perspective we have from USC," said Pradnya Parulekar, whose group researched the extended Los Angeles Catholic school year for the RAND Corporation.
Their client, RAND's Rita Karam, was so impressed with the USC students that she "would like to continue working on this with them." Karam added, "They were very self-motivated, so I was happy with their work."
Michelle Stewart, whose group examined fracking — hydraulic fracturing of rock layers to release petroleum or natural gas — for the EPA, praised the practicum as "a great way to bring together what we'd learned throughout the degree program." She added that all of the group members were "interested in environmental issues. When I came into the program, I was focused on environmental policy, which ended up segueing into transportation. So it related to us, and working for the EPA was very appealing."
EPA client David Albright said that the students' findings enhanced his understanding of fracking.
"There's a difference between having a general sense that something is the case and having someone thoroughly research it, talk to a couple dozen different agencies [including the California Department of Conservation's Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources; the California Department of Toxic Substances Control; and the state and regional water boards] and analyze that information," Albright said. "It's a different level of comfort that you have with your understanding of the matter."
IFC found a very specific use for the USC students' research on sustainability investments.
"They mentioned that there was a conference in Colombia on water, and they were going to be looking into finding a way to incorporate some of [our results]," said Theodore Minch, who worked on the project. "And to hear that they're going to find it useful made the entire six, seven, eight months of work more than worth it immediately."
Rebecca Draper, the client at LANI, plans to use the survey developed by the USC students to assess her organization's neighborhood revitalization efforts.
"USC Price is a very high-level graduate school, so you would expect something good. But it was better than good," Draper said. "The students really responded to our feedback, and their final presentation was as professional as anything you'd want to see. It was something that not only was interesting and illuminating to us, but also provided us with a truly useful tool that we can use to assess some of the impacts of our projects."
The students in the LANI group found the experience equally rewarding.
"I didn't have a ton of work experience in the urban planning, urban renewal side of things, so this was a nice segue into real-world issues and analysis," Claire Van Camp said.
Other students also saw the practicum as a way of launching themselves into the professional world.
Leonard Hyman — whose group researched social media for the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of African Affairs — believes that the practicum helped him take the next step in his career.
"I did get a Google public policy fellowship after for the summer, so that was probably the biggest takeaway for me personally," he said. "I definitely think the practicum helped."
Brent Tercero, who was recently elected to the Pico Rivera City Council, appreciated that his group's project — which looked at the Los Angeles Unified School District's dropout rate for the United Way of Greater Los Angeles — aligned with his long-term career goals in the educational policy arena.
"Professional contacts were absolutely made," Tercero said. "I just started a new job with Leadership for Educational Equity, and a lot of these connections that I've made in this [practicum] process will probably be useful in that capacity."

So I pulled up as many Pinterest photos on Marilyn as I could and a concept came together. I pitched the idea to Haley and the following image are the results of our efforts.

If you are a home scientist – fascinated with how things works, and curious about fields such as Biology, Geography, Chemistry, Physics, Astronomy (not astrology!), and the Earth Science… then check out these great websites;
Biology: http://www.biology4kids.com/
Astronomy: http://www.cosmos4kids.com/
Chemistry: http://www.chem4kids.com/
Geography: http://www.geography4kids.com/
Physics: http://www.physics4kids.com/
Don't be put off by the 'for kids' label – these websites are a great place to start or brush up on your science knowledge. They also make a great starting point for more thorough research, and what I like about these websites the most is; they talk in terms of systems i.e. they explain how things interact in the world – rather than just in a dish, or under a microscope.
If you want to take things a step further, then check out 'The Teaching Company' at http://www.teach12.com/, however, they are not free. So, you could also check out Wikipedia at http://www.wikipedia.org/ for free information.
Wikipedia is great as a starting point for further research on whatever topic you're pursuing. I say starting point because Wikipedia offers external links and references which are sometimes far more valuable than the information listed on the page.
Another great resource for learning is 'Google Scholar' http://scholar.google.com.au/. Google Scholar is a search engine that lists scientific documents for whatever search terms you use – which is excellent for sourcing evidence (for and against) your research.
Learning how the world works is a wonderful way to get to know yourself… yes, yourself. A feeling of being connected with the world usually emerges from scientific study – so I encourage you to become a home scientist, and enjoy the amazing world we live in.

Core Curriculum Assessment
How is the material that our department will submit for recertification different from the material originally submitted for approval to be in the Core?
A: For approval, only the form and syllabus were submitted. The recertification process will require the form, the syllabus, and student work from each student enrolled for each of the required objectives from
one section
of the course. These student work artifacts could reflect the required objectives in a combination of ways:
One assignment demonstrating all objectives
Two assignments where one aligns with half of the objectives and the other aligns the other half
Four individual assignments each individually aligned to one of the objectives
There must be student work specifically tied to each of the required objectives for your component area.
What type of student work/artifacts can be submitted?
A: Each artifact must be assessable, in that it should be able to be scored with the FCA specific rubrics (available at
) by a group of faculty and/or graduate students outside of the classroom setting.
Examples of Assessable Artifacts:
Papers (i.e. research papers, reports, book reviews, reflections, etc.)
Recorded presentation or speech
Excerpts from a written test or quiz
Items which are
Multiple choice tests or quizzes
Self-reported learning or documented instruction of the outcome
Student Grades
Artifacts should require student demonstration of the outcome. These items do not necessarily have to be graded in the course itself.
How will the student work that we submit be assessed?
A: Pilot participants from each component area should agree upon instruments through which to assess each required outcome. These instruments are general enough so they can be applied across the variety of courses in the core component area, yet specific enough to inform the level of student performance in the foundational component area.
How will the assessment results influence the decision to recertify a course for the core?
A: When a course comes up for recertification, OIE&E will collect the designated section of student work from the department using the methods described at
. For recertification purposes, the CCC will verify with OIE&E that the student work submitted is assessable and that each outcome is covered by the work submitted as a part of their consideration process.
Student performance will have no bearing on the CCC's decision to recertify a course.
Additionally, student performance will not be tied to individual faculty members. Results of core curriculum assessment will be reported in the aggregate by component area (i.e. students in Language, Culture, and Philosophy courses perform at X level in critical thinking).

New Delhi, Sep 19 :
Union Urban Development Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu Friday said RLD leader Ajit Singh's "threats" on being asked to vacate his government bungalow here "won't work".
"Threats won't work," Naidu told reporters here without directly naming Ajit Singh.
He said there was no question of political vendetta against Ajit Singh, former civil aviation minister in the Manmohan Singh cabinet.
The Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) workers are demanding that Ajit Singh's bungalow be declared the Chaudhary Charan Singh Memorial Centre like the bungalows of late prime minister Indira Gandhi and leaders Lal Bahadur Shastri, Kanshi Ram and Jagjivan Ram were.
About 200 farmers and policemen were injured Thursday in clashes when the RLD and Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU). The farmers were demonstrating against the water and power supply being snapped at the Tughlak Road residence of Ajit Singh to force him to leave the government bungalow. Ajit Singh lost the Lok Sabha elections in April-May this year.

The bar is being raised for development in Portland suburbs.
"In order for communities to compete, they are having to up the game in terms of the type of amenities people are looking for," said Megan Gibb, transit-oriented development program manager for Metro. "Transit is one of those things. We have a lot of events right now between ground-breakings and openings."
For instance, on Wednesday ground was broken for a four-story mixed-use development in Beaverton. The Signal will be located at 4545 S.W. Angel Ave. in Beaverton's Old Town neighborhood, close to light rail and bus lines. Rembold is developing the project, and Ankrom Moisan Architects is designing it. Construction is expected to finish by November 2016.
"The suburban communities have known for a while that development is going to start happening out there as the Portland-metro area grows," said Sarah Bartlett, marketing and branding manager for Ankrom Moisan Architects. "Portland-metro (municipalities are) really passionate about public transportation, so it makes sense they would be starting to build up around the MAX."
The property's proximity to mass transit was a major consideration, Rembold Vice President Kali Bader said.
"That's something we always look for when we look at sites," she said. "It can help with parking and everything else. It's a benefit to the residents. It just gives them so many more options. From (the Signal site), they can bike to Nike and conceivably bike to Portland. Having transit within walking distance – with the buses and the MAX, you can get almost anywhere."
The Signal will offer 78 market-rate studios, one-bedroom units or two-bedroom units, nine live-work units and 2,332 square feet of commercial space. Covered parking will be provided for no more than 65 vehicles. Community spaces will include a fitness center and a station for washing bicycles or dogs. Bader said that dog washing stations are becoming a trend in the metro area.
"There's a lot of projects in Portland that are doing that," she said. "It helps to keep our owners happier and our building cleaner."
Stakeholders hope that the Signal will help create a walkable, vibrant neighborhood near transit as well as strengthen support for shops and restaurants and attract additional development to Beaverton's core.
"It's exciting to be part of the (renaissance) of downtown Beaverton," Bartlett said. "New development is often a shot in the arm. We're hoping that a lot of younger, urban-minded professionals are going to want to come into the neighborhood because there's a beautiful new building that's going to have great retail that is going to be closer to Nike and Intel and all of the great industry happening out there. It's going to be the beginning of that neighborhood coming on strong."

The South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club: A Resort Established for the Wealthy Families Implicated in the Devastating Johnstown Flood
The Clubhouse for the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club was constructed in 1879 and used between 1881 and 1889 by members of the club and their guests as a country retreat. Club members were some of the wealthiest and most influential people in the United States at the time, who controlled the steel, railroad, banking, and mining industries that were the economic powerhouses of the time. Among them were Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick, Andrew W. Mellon, members of the US House of Representatives and Senate, and Secretaries of US Cabinets. The Clubhouse and numerous associated cottages were located along the shore of Lake Conemaugh, a reservoir originally constructed in the 1830's. In 1889, the earthen dam that held back the waters of the lake collapsed, resulting in the 1889 Johnstown Flood that killed approximately 2,200 people, most of whom worked as employees of companies owned by members of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club. The Johnstown Flood was regarded by many as an example of the callous incompetence of an elite that had managed to take control of companies "too big to fail," as might be said today. Many historians credit the widespread news coverage of the flood for energizing the labor union movement that burgeoned in succeeding decades.
CSRM conducted a ground penetration radar (GPR) survey of the area behind the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Clubhouse. While many photos showing the front of the clubhouse can be found in archives, none existed showing the landscape behind the clubhouse. Analysis of GPR data suggested that several features were located behind the clubhouse, including a carriage house, an outhouse, and an ice house. This would have been a logical area in which to place such utilitarian features.

Last year, I wrote about how I am always tinkering with my bass playing. That blog was about tuning my bass in fifths (instead of fourths like a "normal" human being). Now I have gone and done another weird thing. To but it bluntly, I drilled a hole in my bass, and I am excited about it.
$95 (labor) and a trip to San Juan Capistrano later and I am now part of the weird endpin club.
I started playing with a bent metal endpin back in 2005. This was out of curiosity toward François Rabbath's funky method and posture. I had seen a few of these weird endpins coming out of the bottom of basses at an angle (which traces back to Rabbath) which got me curious. So, I bought a custom-bent endpin to see what that world was all about. The bent pin is supposed to be something like "training wheels" before you go all the way with a Laborie endpin installation. My training wheels lasted eleven years.
The whole idea behind this monkey business is to make the bass a bit more ergonomically friendly. As you would probably guess, the bass is a pretty awkward instrument, so bassists—especially small ones like me—often have to make compromises when tackling the thing. A lot of the difficulties can be solved by playing seated on a stool, but now you have to carry a stool around with you everywhere (let alone an amp, stand, etc.). But, sitting has its drawbacks as well.
Anyway, this new endpin is a pretty good solution to some of the ergonomic challenges the bass presents. Among other things, it puts the bass in a more "horizontal" position, similar to what you get when you are sitting, or, better yet, to the position a cellist achieves. It also makes the bass feel lighter because its contact point with the floor is closer to its center of gravity. The biggest (and only, as far as I can see) downside is that you have to drill—have a professional drill, that is—a hole in your prized instrument. Granted, that is a pretty big deal, which is one of the reasons I put it off for ten years.
Will this make me a better player when all is said and done? Maybe. But, I think it will make me more likely to practice as I am liking the direction things are headed with this new setup; I have already made some adjustments in my playing (for the better), so I think some good things are coming.

How to Know if a Moving Company Is Legitimate
Don't let moving scams spoil your next relocation.
While most moving companies in the U.S. are reputable businesses, a few bad apples still remain – along with their victims' cautionary tales. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), a growing number of complaints have been filed against movers lately – many of which are due to the "fraudulent practices… of rogue movers."
If you're going to fork over the money for a mover, it's your responsibility to make sure the moving company is legitimate. After all, moving day is stressful enough without entrusting your precious belongings to the wrong people. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to check out the credibility of a moving company before you even pick up the phone. Here's how to know if a mover can be trusted with your stuff.
Is the mover properly licensed and insured?
Before hiring a moving company, it's important to make sure the mover is properly licensed and insured. Thankfully, we've done this for you – as every moving company in Moving.com's large network of professional movers is required to be licensed and insured. You can find our list of reputable movers in our Moving Company Directory.
It's important to note that while interstate movers are required to register with the Federal government and can be found in the U.S. DOT system, local movers are only regulated by the state. Every state has their own licensing regulations, so you should read up on your state's requirements to ensure that your local mover is legitimate.
According to the FMCSA, interstate movers are required by law to offer two types of liability options: Full Value Protection and Released Value. The FMCSA defines these options, below.
- Full Value Protection: "your mover is liable for the replacement value of lost or damaged goods in your entire shipment…This is the more comprehensive plan available for the protection of your belongings." The cost of Full Value Protection varies by mover.
- Released Value Protection: "The most economical protection available is Released Value, since it is offered at no additional charge. However, the protection is minimal. Under this option, the mover assumes liability for no more than 60 cents per pound per article."
You can read more about the specifics of both options on the FMCSA website. In addition to offering you liability options, your mover must have their own insurance as well. Moving companies should be able to provide you with proof of insurance upon request.
Are there complaints?
As my mother used to say: "where there's smoke, there's fire." When you see multiple complaints from customers, take note! This often signals a red flag. You can check for official complaints filed with the FMCSA by clicking on the "reviews" of each moving company listed in our Moving Company Directory.
If you're embarking on an interstate relocation, you can also check the FMCSA website, directly, for more information on any official complaints. Every interstate moving company should obtain a U.S. DOT number. As part of this system, consumers can now enter the moving company's number into the FMCSA's search engine, located under the "Search Movers & Complaint History" website tab. This search tool reveals registered interstate movers' complaint history (or hopefully, lack thereof).
I also recommend checking the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to see any complaints filed against both intrastate and interstate moving companies. The BBB is a non-profit organization helping people find companies they can trust. If a moving company has been accredited by the BBB, it means the movers have met the organization's accreditation standards.
How are the moving reviews?
When it comes to choosing a trustworthy moving company, checking reviews on Moving.com's Moving Company Directory is a good place to start. The directory includes customer reviews for more than 600 moving companies nationwide. For your convenience, our reviews also include: the moving company's U.S. DOT number, specific moving services, fleet size, Better Business Bureau rating, any official complaints filed with the FMCSA, and whether the moving company has any association with the American Moving & Storage Association.
I also recommend asking your neighbors, friends and family for recommendations. Listen to their personal experiences with various moving companies. Check Nextdoor.com (a social network for your neighborhood community) to ask neighbors for suggestions. Check Yelp and other review sites – just be aware that the internet is filled with scams and fake reviews.
Did the mover see your things before giving you an estimate?
Moving companies should perform either an in-person inspection or a video survey of your belongings before giving you a quote. Otherwise, you could end up with a bill that far exceeds the original estimate. If they offer to give you a quote over the phone or internet, based on your own account of your household goods, run! This red flag could mean a potential moving scam. Rule of thumb: any company that quotes you a firm price without surveying your things by video or in-person, probably shouldn't be trusted. To ensure you get the best deal, I recommend comparing at least three or four quotes from various moving companies.
After an inspection, the movers should send you their estimate (and other possible charges) in writing – leaving no unwelcome surprise costs for later. If the moving company's quote is noticeably more or less expensive than other moving company estimates, this should also be a big red flag.
Are they professional?
Besides the technicalities of licenses and insurance, consumers need to use common sense when hiring a moving company. Be on the lookout for whether or not the movers are true professionals. Do they have a real office and business email address? Is the moving company part of a reputable van line? Are they wearing uniforms and driving professional moving trucks? Have they provided you with an official Bill of Lading? Is the estimate too good to be true? Do they possess an official business license? If your gut tells you something's off, listen.
Thankfully, there are plenty of reputable movers on Moving.com – all licensed and insured – available to help you with your relocation experience. Begin your moving company search here, and check out more helpful Moving.com tips on hiring quality movers for your next relocation!

14909 Farmstead : PLAID served as a site design consultant for this 100-acre farmstead residential project in eastern Jackson County, MO. The project consists of a new brine pool with infinity edge, hot tub, bath house, patio space, and sculpture. Through extensive research, PLAID discovered the storied history of the house and site by learning about the past residents of the property. The spirit of the previous inhabitants, and a sleek nod to the farmhouse vernacular, were integrated into the overall design proposal. The site concept infuses modern elements while embracing the character of the historic farmstead. A long, linear pergola establishes an axial layout of site elements. The style of the bath house emulates the existing architectural aesthetic of the farmstead. The brine pool is tucked into the landscape with the infinity edge positioned to capture the amazing vista to the west.

Ty Warren has taken a pay cut and rejoined his Denver teammates at Dove Valley.
The veteran defensive tackle agreed to a renegotiated contract with the team Wednesday morning and participated in the Broncos' organized team activity session.
Warren had been sitting out OTAs after the team asked him to take a pay cut from his scheduled salary of about $4 million. Terms of his new contract have not been disclosed, but the contract was filed with the NFL Wednesday.
"You've got to respect the team's stance on trying to make things work for their side, and at that point I had to evaluate what I had to do for my family and I," Warren said. "Ultimately we met in middle ground and we got the deal done, as the deal should be done, behind closed doors. I'm happy that it's done."
Warren, who played for the New England Patriots from 2003-2010, was one of the team's biggest free-agent signings last year, but he suffered a torn triceps muscle early in training camp and spent all last season on injured reserve. Warren remained in Denver for his rehab and said he attended most team and position group meetings.
Warren, 31, also missed all of 2010 with the Patriots after having hip surgery. He said he has never considered retirement.
"I hate that I couldn't contribute last year. I hate that I couldn't contribute for the Patriots two years ago. But that's the past. This is the present and in terms of me being here, of course it's a sense of urgency on both sides to get in and get things done," Warren said.
"We worked diligently behind the scenes to get everything done and meet at middle ground."
Warren agreed to the new contract in time to participate in two voluntary workouts before next week's mandatory minicamp.
With Warren's return, the only player having contract issues with the team is kicker Matt Prater, who has not signed his franchise tender while he and the team negotiate a long-term contract.

This was the tenth Sunday after Pentecost, and our songs were gathered with the intent of re-tuning ourselves to enter into the work of God. Below, you'll find the list of the songs and artists. Clicking the song titles will take you to the lyrics. Below the songs, you can find recordings from Sunday morning of a few of them, and below the recordings, there is an example of one way you might think of these songs in light of this week's theme. If you want to talk about any of these, feel free to comment at the bottom of this page or email me at email@example.com.
Fall Afresh by Jeremy Riddle
Lord, I Need You by Matt Maher
Hope by Jameson McGregor
There's A Wideness in God's Mercy by Jameson McGregor (adapted from F. Faber)
How They Fit In:
There are many ways to think about the significance of songs and the way they fit together–-this is simply one way you can look at these songs in light of this week's theme.
How Great Thou Art: We sang this song to begin our time together with a confession of God's greatness. After another in a series of weeks marked by pain and uncertainty, it is easy to lose sight of all the glory in the world. In voicing these words, we began to tune ourselves to regain whatever has been lost through navigating the complexity of the world this summer.
Fall Afresh: We sang this song to confess our need for the Spirit to transform us into people who are working together with God in God's reconciliation project. We are prone to growing so familiar with our own ideas of who God is and what God is like that we functionally fall asleep to the movement of God. Thus, we continually need a wake-up call from the Spirit, breathing new life into our dry bones.
Lord, I Need You: We have had many reminders over the past few weeks that we are a part of several systems of violence. Our complicity in these systems is at odds with our being formed in the way of Christ, and is thus sin. This song speaks to personal struggles against sin, and allows us to rehearse turning to God for help rather than only attempting to self-regulate ourselves out of destructive behavior.
Hope: For the past several weeks, the offering song has been used to give voice to lament. This week, it seemed fitting to give voice to hope. Lament and hope are directly connected to one another, and may well be considered two sides of the same coin. Lament is but noise without the hope of change, and hope is only a facade if it is not born from lamentable circumstances. This song picks up on the image in John 1 of God setting a light in the darkness that the darkness did not overcome. We might see this as a statement about the Incarnation in general, the Crucifixion in particular, or maybe the Story of God and creation as a whole. This image gives us hope because it acknowledges darkness and almost axiomatically establishes that the darkness will not overcome the light.
There's A Wideness in God's Mercy: We sang this song to look over our shoulder at last week's songs. This is what was said of There's a Wideness in God's Mercy then: We sang this song to meditate on God's mercy. For the past several weeks, we have been bombarded with news of various horrific kinds of violence. Humans are particularly skilled at finding ways to reject the divine image in one another. With what I know of God from Scripture, my assumption is that God is deeply grieved by our violence, and if we had one of the prophets writing today, God would most certainly talk at length about how God wanted to be rid of us. And rightfully so. But God's not going to rid Godself of us. Because that's not who God is. The Noah story shows us this quite clearly. God wanted to start over, and started that process, then realized how terrible that was--how deeply painful that was--and resolved never to do that again. Instead, God decided to fix things from the inside, entering into the story to suffer our violence and conquer it with love. That conquering is accomplished, but still unfolding. It's horribly slow for my taste, but it's there nonetheless.
Doxology: We close our time together each week with this proclamation that God is worthy of praise from every inch of the cosmos.

How a stranger's compliment inspired me.
During an amazing event I attended last night, I was approached by someone who quickly proceeded to shake my hand and look boldly into my eyes. Before I even finished saying it was a pleasure to meet him, he politely interjected to say this: "I walked into this event tonight and was immediately drawn to your energy. Whatever you're doing, keep doing it and do more of it. "
I was floored. Wow! What an amazing compliment. As I sat through the event the rest of the evening, I kept thinking about his compliment and the lessons that this two-minute interaction had about life.
Here's what I know to be true:
- You never know who's watching. You will never know how many lives you have impacted. Know that your words and actions can inspire and motivate as much as they can deplete and hurt others. Choose kindness and compassion. ...every day with every person, all the time.
- Authenticity works. Oscar Wilde said "Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken." And, I believe that to be true! The minute I stopped comparison shopping myself against other women leaders, I accepted MYSELF for who I am, what I bring to the table and embraced my weaknesses as much as I do my strengths. We each have gifts and it is our duty to accept them, unwrap them and use them!
- Step into your own greatness. In the last year, I have combated a fear I now know as a fear of success. I was afraid of who I could become and what I could accomplish and the tremendous effects of that. Realizing I was put on this Earth to do what I am doing has given me great freedom to step into my greatness and overcome that fear.
And so, as I write this on a Saturday morning, I want to thank you, Joey. Thank you for taking the time to share such a beautiful compliment with me. Your kind words have inspired me. You have reminded me how powerful compliments can be and how powerful kindness and compassion are!

'Take Control of Apple TV'
My pal and editor at TidBITS, Josh Centers, wrote a book on tv:
Now, for only $10, my years of Apple TV experience can be yours, in an easy-to-browse format. I start from the absolute basics and work you up to more complex hacks that unlock the hidden power of the Apple TV. I'm particularly proud of the "Apple TV at the Movies" chapter, which walks you through controlling video on your Apple TV, how to customized subtitles, and even how to rip DVDs and Blu-rays for viewing on your Apple TV. TidBITS members who got access to the early draft of the book said that chapter alone justified their membership fee. Really happy for Josh --- as he mentions, the response so far to his book has been terrific. Get it here. When the day finally comes that me and my uncle exit the Stone Age and upgrade to an HDTV, the Apple TV is going to be a must-buy for me. Then I'll be devouring Josh's book for tips and tricks.

Be Creative In Life: Creativity is a gift from God. If you are a creative person you are definitely going to be aware of the positivity's it brings in life. But God Forbid if your creativity is reaching out from you and is hiding in the dark shadows, then this might be disturbing your soul and mind. On the other hand, there are people who wish to get creative but they don't feel it reaching them. So what is it that kills your creativity? Here are some things that I have listed which kill your creativity.
Be Creative In Life:
Failure is a Killer:
The very first thing which kills your creativity is a failure. Failure makes people fearful and nobody wants to face it in life. Indeed, failure is the worst thing which anyone can face in life. Sometimes we try something we love to do but when we attempt it, we face failure. This starts killing your creativity, especially for that certain thing that you attempted.
Don't let failure get to your heart and mind.
Not Following Your Heart:
Always follow your heart never let your inner talent die just for the sake of people. Never bother what people say about you and about your work. They are not going to appreciate you at any cost because nobody wants you to do better than them.
If you don't follow your heart, your creativity will die every day. You will feel that you are lacking behind in simply everything and you won't be content either.
Don't Think TOO big:
Another problem which people face is they create big pictures in their minds; they think too big. They create such a larger than life image in their mind that when it's not achieved, they lose all hopes. And the loss of hope is the murder of creativity.
You don't need to kill all "your visions" and you can certainly create a big picture of yourself. But remember to go with small steps. Set small goals that you know you can achieve by working hard. If you are one of those people who try to achieve something but they face failure because they don't have that ability to achieve that specific goal, remember to never set something so big in your mind that you grow helpless and hopeless. Just think what you can do easily and what can be better for you. Also keep in mind that doing what is better for you, will automatically boost the creativity from within you.
Too Much Busy Schedule:
We all are so busy in our life that we start ignoring ourselves. We forget the inner us and what we really are, for sake of the society and the parameters. This is the minus point as you stop thinking about yourself and what you want from life. You lose hope, you lose confidence and you lose your creativity. The biggest thing is that you lose yourself.
Everyone is busy and we have a lot of stress in life. But you need to remember whatever makes you alive is your strength. If you love music, then listen to music for an hour or maybe half an hour daily. This will revive your mood. If you love dancing, then just take out 20 minutes to shake your body to some groovy beat. Don't let your busy schedules kill your moods and creativity.
Negativity is like a mind later. It will eat your mind faster than you think as your mind diverts towards all the bad things. Even the good things in life start seeming too bad for us.
If you start your day with positive thoughts then it will make your life better. You will feel energetic and that is what brings your creativity out from within you. The more negative you think the more creativity you kill and your mind also starts to slow down. You don't feel joyous and your mood swings get higher. If you don't feel energetic; how will you work on your creativity? Think!
This world is indulged in a race and everyone is too busy to take some time out for themselves. We have tensions hanging down on our heads and we hardly think positive these days. This is what makes our generation uncreative with each passing day.
Creativity is an important element which makes life beautiful and also enhances your inner self. If you are creative then you will know the joy of it for sure. However, if a creative person starts to race downfall; it becomes a harsh reality for them which are hard to digest. So see through the list and see if you are doing any of these things. If you feel you are, then fall out of them and say hello to your creativity again.
