I scheduled a move weeks in advance and then called to confirm the week of the move to be sure everything was in order. On the day of the planned move when no one showed up during the scheduled arrival window I reached out repeatedly to try to get an updated ETA. I was told they were minutes away. . . . long story short -- they…Read More never showed up. I think there was an issue with the phone number they had listed for me -- so I would be tempted not to post a negative review and just assume the fault. Maybe they did try to call me back and couldn't get through. But I had also started to communicate with HireAHelper about the situation -- and was surprised when their customer service rep informed me that they spoke with the company and had been told that THEY WERE ON SITE AND LOADING THE TRUCK. So I feel justified in leaving a one-start review. At least be professional and cop to not showing up.
All Pro Movers showed up ready to get the job done! They helped out as we needed and respectfully took care of our items. We had a bit of a unique moving scenario where we needed to carefully fit everything into a small pod. They didn't seem accustomed to being strategic about space, but otherwise they moved quickly. They were v…Read Moreery communicative and I would use them again.
They were worked hard and fast. Real gentlemen, I would use them again.
My helper Brian was fantastic. He and my son worked hand in hand filling boxes and loading them to your second helper on the Pod.
James and Rakeem were spectacular, extremely polite and very professional. We were extremely pleased to meet these hard working and very nice gentlemen. Would not hesitate to have them back as friends and family
Jay and James communicated well with us. When they arrived they got straight to work. They got everything done in the time I had scheduled. These guys were wonderful and I would highly recommend them.
The two people you sent were extremely hard workers , who were also very professional. They arrived on time and were well prepared for the job. I will hire them again in the future. There are so few people who really can work and keep up with me and these two guys really helped me get the job done and were respectful I am gla…Read Mored I chose your company for this job.
These guys work! Stairs, heavy items never phased them. They just keep going.
Quick and clean. Emptied out a packed U-Haul including an upright piano in no time.
The movers were Fabulous! They arrived on time, were very courteous and professional, but most of all fit my couch through a doorway that was physically impossible. They are highly recommended.
Showed up early, got to work right away, amazingly organized, find ished well ahead of schedule, incredibly friendly and professional. If I need help again in NYC, I won't even look at anyone else
They did a great job. They were careful with everything. All of the items: Were they on time, yes Were they prepared for the job, yes Did they work hard, yes Were they respectful of your property and goods, yes Would you use them again, yes
Guys worked hard and got it done with smiles on their faces mike stromberg Super Bowl champion ny jets
Moving is so super stressful but All Pro made it so much less stressful for me. All Pro was on time, prepared, and hard working. Bernard, Reggie, and Jay were fabulous and I would hire them any time! All three gentlemen were helpful, courteous, and SO SO SO nice! Much appreciated. Well done, All Pro.
The three young men were all courteous, kind and knowledgeable about moving. They were eager to help in any task required. They worked diligently until the move was completed. It was a positive experience and I wouldnt hesitate to use your service again.
Once they arrived they did a good job. They were 2 1/2 hours late due to their vehicle breaking down. I paid for 5 hours they completed the job in 3 hrs. Nothing was damaged or scratched truck was loaded with no problems. I would definitely use them again.
These guys were Great. They did a great job. Yes they were very respectful. And show up on time and work very hard too. I would use them again and give them referral too.
All Pro Movers were arrived within the one hour window, and got right to work. They emptied my 16' Pod in under 2 hours. They were efficient and took good care of our things. Would recommend.
The crew that came was 1 hr late but they came with an extra person and got the job done in 2 hrs rather than 3. I had an up stairs also & had some very heavy items. They were respectful and worked very hard. The weather was so cold that day. I would definitely use them again. I did have 2 items damaged but HireAHelpet compe…Read Morensated me for it. I understand thins do happen, so I would still hire them again.
I am sorry I had not post this review. This group of guys did an above, more than I was expecting. I even requested the same group on my other in Jan of this year. But, you sent a other group from All Pro Movers... BUT they too did a great job. They were careful with everything. All of the items: Were they on time, yes Were the…Read Morey prepared for the job, yes Did they work hard, yes Were they respectful of your property and goods, yes Would you use them again, yes
The help was 90 minutes late (didn't let me know until 15 minutes after they were supposed to be there), didn't follow directions, and weren't very motivated to do anything. Will NOT use their service again. Pretty disappointed for as much money as I spent.
Easy going group of guys, who worked hard and got the job done. They unloaded a lot of boxes and furniture in a short time, listened to direction, and were careful with all pieces. Thanks for making the move easy.
Professional, pleasant, and very helpful. James, Brian, and Jay were wonderful.
They were respectful and prompt. However, they didn't seem to know what they were doing. I provided all the materials needed for wrapping, and they didn't use them. Some of our furniture ended up damaged because of it. ( I had over 40 moving blankets and they only used a few. They didn't put the screws with the corresponding fur…Read Moreniture, so we ended up having to search all over for them once our stuff arrived. Also, they did not do a good job organizing the pod we had them fill. We had to remove everything and refill it (after they "finished" the job) because they filled it completely up with only half of our stuff loaded. When we repacked it, there was a lot of room left over. No, I would not use them again.
They arrived on time. The men were very respectful of my property and very polite to me. Eager to help with a great attitude. I had a 16' POD, which they filled with mostly boxes of all sizes. Worked very hard, but they never complained. Very busy time and job well done. I would recommend them to anyone.
The workmen were on time and were prepared for the job. They began as soon as they arrived and wasted no time to get the job done. They were very respectful and did not (any thing that I could see) damage my belongings or property. I would use them again and recommend this service to any one.
Great Job! I only requested 2 helpers, but 3 showed up and they did not charge extra. Showed up a little later than expected (requested 9am start, arrived around 9:30am) but they were quick and efficient once they arrived. Unfortunately the top perch of my cat tree did get broken off in the move, but it's a few years old. All my…Read More delicate electronics and kitchen dishes were unscathed.
In spite of their being late, the men were ready and prepared for the job. They worked hard and were careful of my property. As to how well they loaded, I won't know until I unload, but I have nothing but good things to say about their work ethic.
Crew arrived on time but were arguing with each other and already seemed tired and stating they were sore from previous move. Handled furniture well but did not utilize pod space well. Only worked for two hours, did not move items from basement that did not fit in POD. Would not hire again.
The Pro Movers were very helpful and prepared to work hard. They were very nice and respectful, would definitely use them again or recommend them to someone I know.
they were a little late, but they were prepared for the job. they worked very hard, and was polite and respected our property. we would use them again.
The team of four were amazing to work with, friendly, efficient, and extremely organized. Justin, James, other James, and Brian really were exceptional. I know who to call for my next move!
Amazing, fast and very respectful of property and customer! Highly recommend.
Used all pro movers to move furniture from a 2 bedroom apartment. I hired 4 workers for an estimated 5 hour job. The company informed me that they'd send one more worker (5 total) to make the move a little quicker. However, the move ended up taking 7.5 hours (2.5 hours more than I'd anticipated). There were a few very big reaso…Read Morens for this. First, the 5 workers did not work as a team. There was clearly not that much of a plan put in place to make this an efficient move. It was pretty clear that this team didn't know what they were doing (or didn't care.) As mentioned, there for 5 workers, but there might as well have only been 4. One of the workers probably spent more time taking a break than actually helping. Second, the crew showed up with literally no equipment?! How does a moving company expect to move mattresses, furniture etc with no moving equipment?! Luckily I was able to find a few dollies for them to use - if not it would have taken them over 10 hours. Even with the moving equipment that I supplied some of my furniture was dragged causing damage. The only thing that was done remotely well was that they packed the truck relatively efficiently. In total, my experience with All Pro Movers was not good - 5 amateur furniture movers (really 4 because one didn't do much) that were not efficient, didn't bring any equipment and damaged some furniture. And I paid 400 dollars more because it took 2.5 hours longer. I've had some really good furniture movers and this is definitely not one of them. Would not recommend.
The guys were excellent and on time tYo my surprise, my rental truck was not big enough for all my stuff. I? had to rent a second fltruck the next day. To finish moving. I? was so happy with the guys , I? call to make sure they the would return the following day. I? strongly recommend them.
Arrived totally unprepared; no tools, no dolly, no shrink wrap. Only one of the three had an idea of how to pack a POD. Needed outside supervision and left before the job was complete.
My crew were professional, courteous and efficient.
These guys did a wonderful job! They were fast yet careful with all of our belongings, and kept a great attitude during a 4th floor walk up move! Not only would I recommend them again, I already have!
FANTASTC group of guys. They were on time, worked VERY hard and were very respectful. I would highly recommend them and I would definitely use them again.
i am flabbergasted by the guys that worked at my house. I would hire them again. Thank you for sending me a real professional and courteous group of guys. KEEP THEM!!
the team did a great job. Arrived on time, were fast, careful, respectful of our things and did an awesome job packing the truck for a long druve
I know it's a cliche, "I couldn't have done it without them", but you know what? I couldn't have done it without them! Three very nice gentlemen, they watched the walls and corners, they were very gentle with the furniture and conscientious. They loaded the container efficiently and saved me some space. Yes, I'd definitely reco…Read Moremmend them--probably will use them again myself!
This is the second time we had this crew. We asked for them due to the excellent earlier job. They did a fine job this time also. Very friendly and worked hard and efficiently. It was a pleasure having them on these jobs.
James and Jose were great. They came on time, did all the moving very quickly and professionally. Highly recommended.
They were on time. They were professional and moved everything with great care. They brought tools and were able to take things apart as needed. They were very pleasant. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a mover.
We had three movers with dave being in charge.they showed up within the time frame window i was given.they came from brooklyn,n.y. To shirley,n.y.in the pouring rain.we moved from a house to an apartment 5 miles away. They were very polite calling me sir or mr. Joe. They hit the job running after we went throught 5 minutes of …Read Moreme telling them what was staying and going,mostly going.dave and his crew worked hard picking up heavy furniture,boxes,tables,tool boxes and exercise equipment.i supplied the moving blankets and nothing got wet getting to the truck or when they unloaded at our new address.there was not a scratch on our furniture or either of our two houses,..yes i would use them again and I recommended them to my brother in law who will be moving soon. I also like to thank hire a helper for their support and guidance .
The 2 workers were very good. They went right to work and did their job. They had the right tools to dismantle my trundle bed and did it neatly. They were polite and knew what to do. I would use them again.
All Pro Movers are the best! I would use them again and again!
They did a very good job and filled the pod efficiently and quickly. Very friendly to work with capable. We requested that Pro Movers send them back to fill our second pod.
Excellent job - 3 man crew. Would use again for a future move.
Had three helpers to load truck couldn't have done it better myself great crew.
These guys were great / on time and were amazing to work with.
I could not ask for anything more from a moving company. Since they were running an hour or so behind, they sent an extra 2 guys to our house to help load our POD as quickly as possible. They packed everything so perfectly and were incredibly respectful of our belongings. We even had an issue getting a fridge from the basement u…Read Morepstairs but the guys took the time to figure out how to take a part the door to get it upstairs. They worked incredibly hard on a 90 degree day and I really recommend them to anyone that is moving in our area.
Thank you. They were on time. Overall they did a good job.
They were fast and great to work with. I was concerned that the contents of our 5' x 10' storage unit might not fit into a 7' x 7' POD. They figured out how to fit everything so that we had 1/4 of the POD space still available. They were all very polite and accommodating. I hired them for 5 hours and they finished in 3 hours…Read More. Their manager sent us 2 additional helpers free of charge. I would definitely use them again.
They where fast, efficient, helpful, and where easy to work with. I'd recommend All-Pro Movers anytime!
All Pro Movers called me on the day of my move and told me they would be 20 minutes later than the expected arrival hour window. As compensation, they would include an extra mover free of charge. Then they texted me and told me there was traffic and they would be another 40 minutes. When they arrived they started working right…Read More away. They did their best to make sure boxes and furniture made it into the correct rooms, and they were able to finish unloading a 16 foot Pod and small moving truck in 1 1/2 hours!
Team was on time, worked hard, and got the job done quickly.
Canceled the day before my move. They stated that they did not service my area (even though it was on their service map). They were booked 14 days before the scheduled move and decided the day before they didn't want to do it. If I could leave zero stars I would.Show Response
We only service 100 miles and your job was booked for 124 miles, which was 2.5 hr drive for a hour worth of work. So it was a mix up on HireAhelper end. We apoligize

The movers showed up on timr and were efficient, friendly and took care of all our items. Would highly recommend them!
Punctual. Communicative. There were two men who worked with me. One was really solid and worked very fast. He provided me with a lot of guidance. I loaded a PODS trailer on my own due to the particular needs to protect fragile items. With the three hour time window, there wasn't a lot of time to discuss a loading strategy. The 2…Read Morend mover was a bit confrontational. He damaged one of my wardrobe boxes and when I asked him about it, there wasn't a sense that he really cared about the impact it would have on me, and that didn't feel very good considering. I thought the movers were going to provide ropes for the PODS. I had hired them based on their experience loading PODS. When I learned that I was supposed to have provided ropes, it was too late. The two movers showed up with two dollies but no hand trucks as advertised. Overall, if you need extra labor, this is a good fit. If you need extra labor and customer service that respects the nuances of one's particular needs, look elsewhere or increase your budget to get that extra touch.
All pro mover personnel was punctual with time, very pleasant and personable, worked diligently, efficiently and knowledgeable in job they performed. I was happy with the excellent job they did and would request them again and recommend them to all.
Great job! Showed up within the time frame, came with four guys instead of two. Had my 16 foot Pod and garage emptied in an hour. They were able to get large furniture up my turning staircase without damaging anything. Very professional, Highly recommend!
They showed up on time and started work while I exchanged my rental truck for the one I was supposed to have. They worked hard and due to my miscommunication, packed a few extra items. They had everything they needed to get the job done. At the storage locker, they packed so that the space was used most efficiently. They also h…Read Moreelped me out by throwing out an old king sized mattress once the job was done. I would use them again and recommend them.
Got a call prior saying they would be late, car trouble. They said they would show up with 4 movers ( instead of the 2 booked) to make up for lateness. They showed up 10 min. earlier than we were told, with 4 movers. Guys started working right away. They were very personable, knew what they were doing, and were careful of items …Read Moreand walls. We would definitely recommend, and we will use them again on our last portion of move.
They were on time, professional, and very good at their job. We could not have fit everything in the truck without them! My only complaint is that they sent four guys and expected to do the job in half the time. Although that sounded great, it resulted in them being rushed, which led to some mistakes.
They were professional, personable and worked quickly and efficiently. Would not hesitate to use them again.
They were quick and professional. I would definitely recommend them. They did an awesome job!
These guys worked really hard, and were also really fast. They were friendly as well. We were told to expect them between 9 and 10, they got here about 10 minutes after 10. We had asked for 3 people for 3 hours; 4 guys showed up. They got our stuff up the flight of stairs and into our apartment, and they were able to navigate a …Read Morereally tricky spiral staircase to get into our loft even with our California King bed. Some things were a bit off: they weren't able to or wouldn't try get a table in the last door, even though my partner and I were able to get the table through rather easily after they left. They also left after 2 hours. The truck was empty at that point, but the ad said they would help us with assembly of some items, which they didn't do. So it was a bit odd because they'd done a good job up til then, but it seemed like they were in a hurry to get to the next job even though we'd paid for another hour, and there were still things left to do. I didn't ask for any refund because they had brought an extra person that I hadn't asked for, and he certainly expedited things. They also took pictures of all our items, which I think was to make sure that nothing was damaged-- but it struck my partner as odd. Anyway, I'd probably use them again. They did a solid if slightly incomplete job. I'd like a little better communication, and I'd like the ad to reflect that they will not help with assembly if they are unwilling or unprepared to do so.
They arrived right on time and did an excellent job!! We were extremely pleased with their service! Would highly recommend All Pro Movers. Thank you for your help!
The guys showed up on time. It was raining but they worked any way. Also, they helped me take apart a couple of bed frames. I would definitely recommend them.
Both companies, the one in New York and Georgia, were great. They were responsive, on time and very professional. I would definitely use this service again
These gentlemen were polite, thorough and a pleasure to work with on this project.
Great job, great people. Would happily recommend or use again.
They did a great job moving our things quickly and efficiently--- they were 10 minutes late but called ahead to advise me of the delay. Highly recommend them!
Exceeded my expectations! Came right in the middle of the 1 hour "window". Busted out a 16ft POD in under 2 hours in extreme heat. Very respectful to me, my family, and our property. These guys are MASTERS of the ultimate Tetris. Maximized every inch of space. Will definitely be using again for our additional POD.
They were very kind, careful and professional. I would definitely recommend them again!
Excellent crew, worked quickly and were extremely polite . I would hire again.
The crew was an hour late. I was told they had car trouble. However, instead of three men, All Pro made amends by sending me four. The crew was great: polite, friendly and professional. They had my pod emptied in 90 minutes. They also assembled a bed frame for me. I would recommend All Pro Movers.
I moved from out of state and drove my own UHaul truck. I needed help unloading the truck into my new apartment. All Pro did a fantastic job.

The guys were wonderful and helpful. worked really hard, and tremendous respect. highly recommended
The guys from All Pro Movers were FANTASTIC! They showed up early, worked hard under a lot of pressure (only had freight elevator for 3 hours) and were very respectful of my property. I have already recommended them to several people I know who are moving.
Emptied my U-Hual into my apartment on the 4th floor using a single elevator in my Building!! Did come 1.5hrs late due to traffic.. but compensated the late arrival by bringing 4 instead of 2 people. Great job!!!
The group was professional, courteous, and efficient. They were careful and cautious with all of our belongings. Very highly recommended. A great experience.
The four guys were fantastic. They were friendly, quick and efficient and worked hard through the whole job. We have requested them again for our second job.
The guys got stuck in traffic, but made a great effort to minimize the delay and got here in plenty of time. They were courteous, incredibly hard working, and genious when it came to loading the POD container to maximize the space, which was necessary.

Recommending a group that performed this well is really easy, which I will do at any opportunity, and I will definitely use them again.
Fantastic service! On time (early), professional, couldn't have asked for a better service.
The crew worked very quickly and conscientiously, and I would definitely recommend them.
I ordered 2 helpers and 4 showed up as they indicated they had a :walk-up" to go to next. They formed a great team splitting the moving boxes and creates into one operation and others doing the truck loading. They finished in about 1 and half hours. But the best part was that when I arrived at my destination some 1,100 miles …Read Morelater, the load was nice and tight and we had no breakage. Wonderful job. Thanks.
My movers were fabulous. They walked in and started working the moment they got there. They were courteous and quick. I highly recommend them
Perfect from start to finish. Called an hour ahead to confirm they were coming and asked if I needed anything to help with move. Arrived right on time. Worked hard and fast. Nice guys. No furniture damage. Perfect.
Great movers! Packed the truck brilliantly. Very polite and efficient.
They were great. Fast and friendly. They treated my things carefully. I would definitely recommend them
Had moved my office furniture to multiple locations, they kept me informed of there travel time and ETA they worked very hard to get the job done and protect my things regardless of my underestimating the size of the truck needed for the job. They guys were friendly and respectfully even went above and beyond when my wife had …Read Moreasked for other items moved that were not contracted for. I will use them again.
Bertram ( I am not sure of the spelling) and his crew did a wonderful job moving our belongings into 2 pods. All four movers were courteous and respected our wishes on certain fragile items. They worked efficiently and accomplished the move much more quickly that we thought possible. Highly recommended.
Movers showed up early, worked hard and fast. They got the job done.
I had a team of four ALL PRO MOVERS working with me to get a fair amount of stuff up to a fourth floor walk-up.

I would highly recommend them t…Read Moreo others and use them again in the future!
We just drove up from Florida and hired these guys last minute to unload our rental trucks. They were wonderful.

We also had to get things put in a storage and they …Read Morewillingly followed us to the facility and helped us there too. We were so greatfull for all their hard work. We would definitely use them again. Thank you so very much for everything.
I have to say the guys were all professional, polite and on time. They moved my entire apartment in less then 2 hours I was so impressed. Would definitely recommend
The guys that did the moving were great. They were beasts! It was like a tornado unloaded my truck! True professionals. The People who answer the phone, not so much. It was truly a pleasure to watch four young guys demonstrate teamwork to perfection. If everyone in this country was as hard-working, and knew how to work together …Read Morelike these guys did, we'd be in good shape! But even the people on the phone got the job done.
Two of four movers were great and worked very hard. But other two movers were not. They were constantly checking their cell phones.

I felt bad for the two hard workers, they were very good and proper…Read More but I am not sure if I will use them again.
Yes, the young men were on time and did their job well. They were polite and nice.
I originally reserved 4 movers for 5 hours but received a text message stating they were running late and will send a fifth mover for the same price.

On time, hard working crew, courteous, quick with care, packed well...could not have been more satisfied!
Very helpful, professional and courteous. They worked fast and efficiently and I never worried about my material being damaged.
Real nice guys, worked in the rain never complained. Did not cause any damage while moving the heavy furniture.
one time worked hard complete job with respect and care
Very respectful . Did the job without any questions asked. Did a very good job. Would highly recommend this crew again
They were very communicative with their whereabouts before getting here. They quickly got to work and were very respectful of my belongings. Nice guys. I would definitely use them again.
They were very courteous and worked carefully and were quick. I will definitely use them again when it's time to unload the container and put them in my home.
the team did a great, careful and fast job.
Movers were prompt, courteous and did an excellent job!
So we had a snow storm and the movers couldn't come the day scheduled, they communicated well and made arrangements to come the next day. They brought two extra men at no charge to us to be sure we could return the uhaul truck on time. They were professional and curtious. Would highly recommend.
The team did a fantastic job. It was the first time using this service and was very pleased with the timelines and quality of the job they performed. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
I was given a 2-hour time window for mid-morning on the date scheduled. They were delayed by having to work longer on their preceding assignment, but I was called to inform me of the delay and reason for it.

They arrived early but were patient to wait until the assigned start time as that is when the vehicle for the move was arriving. They were fast and courteous. They were on time at the unload site as well. I appreciate their friendly and polite demeanor. Moving can be stressful and they made it a much more enjoyable experienc…Read Moree. Thanks!!

I will be using them again!
All Pro Movers were great. They came early!! WHAT? Their task was to carry a heavy piece of furniture up 4 flights of stairs. Within 15 minutes, the piece was in the dining room, centered on the wall and all of the wrapping was cleaned and clear. I would recommend them.
They did a great job, had a quick pace and were friendly. they treated our belongings with proper care. I would use them again.
Fabulous as reflected above - AFC Intl Phx Az - Regards,Martin
The guys I hired for my move were very hardworking and efficient. They had the truck loaded and unloaded all in a timely manner. I would hire them again.
Communicative before arrival. Very hard workers. Great group of men. Polite. Would definitely use them again.
All of the movers were friendly and personable and acted in a professional manner! Worked quickly and efficiently. I would definitely recommend and use again if needed!
They were late arriving, actually had to reschedule twice. I had difficulty communicating with whoever was answering their telephone. Once they arrived they worked quickly, some equipment like a two wheeler may have made things a little easier for them. They were respectful of my property. No one really seemed to be the leader,…Read More seemed they lacked experience. All in all they did a satisfactory job and I would probably use them again.
My movers arrived right on time! They worked very very hard! I have a second floor apartment and they came on the coldest day of the year so it was not an easy job by any means. They went up and down the stairs multiple times carrying heavy boxes and kept right on doing it. You would have thought they were carrying boxes filled …Read Morewith air. They moved extremely fast, too. I also have a large wall unit and they were able to get that downstairs as well as a king size mattress, all things that were extremely hard to move in to the apartment a year ago. They did it with no trouble. I would definitely recommend them and use them again.
While the movers were a few minutes late due to traffic, they came with three helpers instead of two, and were able to finish the job ahead of schedule. They were professional, prepared, and very careful. I would certainly use them again!
These guys were incredible. I paid for 3 guys for 4 hours. 4 guys showed up and worked non-stop for the entire time lugging really heavy bags, and also cleaning up the site afterwards. I couldn't recommend them any higher.
I cannot say enough good things about my recent experience with All Pro Movers. They were on time, polite and worked extremely fast. I would not hesitate to use them again. Wonderful job. Thank you!!
They were great and made sure everything was done correctly. They were prompt and communicated when they were on their way. Great team thanks!
They arrived early, worked hard, took care of my property. Would use again.
Excellent job. I ordered two movers and they came with four. Very polite, careful and super quick. I would use this company again.
The helpers showed up on time and we're ready to go wit their own dollies etc. which I did not expect. Patient and diligent and efficient. Would recommend for any moving project.
The people were on time worked hard and did everything asked of them. I would definitely hire them again. They were a dependable company of hard working people
These employees of all pro was excellent. They respected my belongings and wasted no time in getting to work. They were on time and prepared when they got there. Yes I would recommend and use them again. Thank you, mrs. holley
I was sent 3 movers instead of two which was great! We were done with my project in less than two hours! Nice guys with a sense of humor!
On time,good attitude,cooperative.Job well done.??

A PROBE into Scotland's under-fire new exam system has been blocked by SNP MSPs until after
the referendum.
Opposition politicians on Holyrood's education committee wanted to start an inquiry as soon as fourth-year pupils
get their results tomorrow.
But the SNP used their majority on the committee to block the plan. The inquiry will now get under way next month – after Scotland votes on independence.
Labour's Neil Bibby, a member of the committee, accused his SNP rivals of "putting the referendum campaign ahead of Parliament's responsibility to scrutinise policy".
He added: "Lessons should be learned as quickly as possible so the implementation of the new Highers next year doesn't encounter the same problems we have seen this year.
"To not discuss this until after the referendum does a disservice to pupils, parents and teachers."
The SNP Government have been angrily criticised by teachers over the way the new National 4 and 5
qualifications for fourth-year kids were brought in to replace Standard Grades.
Teachers complained of lack of support from exam bosses, constant changes to paperwork, cumbersome assessments, excessive workloads and stress.
Unions added that training meetings for staff had been "a shambles". They said morale was at rock bottom and teachers had never been so concerned about a change.
The Scottish Government said teachers had been given unprecedented support to help them cope.
Labour, Lib Dem and Tory members of the education committee joined forces to try to force SNP convener Stewart Maxwell to start the inquiry this month.
But Maxwell refused and told them the committee had agreed to wait until September.
He added that there was a "strong commitment by all members" to learn lessons before fifth-year pupils sit
new-look Highers next year.

Hydroquinone, cream facial brighteners, rub-on retinol and exfoliating, lightening products are all products that can be used to fade or remove dark spots caused by aging, says WedMD. These treatments can also be used on the neck and chest.Continue Reading
Hydroquinone is a standard remedy for diminishing age spots. Some people find this substance to be irritating. Less intense options are kojic acid, alpha-arbutin, licorice extract and vitamin C, explains WedMD. Spot treatments are too limited for skin damage caused by sun or hormonal conditions. In this case, it is advised to used a facial moisturizer that works at brightening the overall complexion.
Many rub-on beauty products contain retinol, which fights wrinkles and targets hyperpigmentation. Using a rub-on retinol product in combination with a daily sunscreen helps diminish age spots and keep them away, says WebMD.
Certain lightening products contain chemical exfoliants, such as glycolic or salicylic acid. These help clear away dead skin cells and brighten skin tone immediately. Removing the top layer of dead skin also makes it easier for treatments to penetrate the skin cells, says WebMD.
Treating the neck and chest should be eased into as these areas are more delicate. Apply the chosen product every other day to minimize potential irritation, suggests WedMD.Learn more about Skin Care

Pi on the Piano.
This piano piece was created by assigning notes to the digits 0 through 9 in the constant known as pi. Pi has no repetitive patterns, so the piece sounds random, but has a mathematical beauty all its own. Link -via Everlasting Blort
Newest 3 Comments
my boyfriend had to do something similar for his modern poetry class - he assigned different words to the numbers, and then wrote out the words for the first 100 digits of pi!
ack. Well it's that without the period at the end.
This is a site where you can do that yourself: http://www.avoision.com/experiments/pi10k/pi10k.html.
You can choose what scale you want to use or assign your own notes to it.

|Palm-woven dwelling designs vary across the Far-East and Pacific so I'm
going with a sort of generic impression. I don't want to model a building of
a specific location as I want to re-use these model for any Asia or Oceania
scenario or game.
So, I'm making my scratch-built houses a little smaller (I'll still use the Arcane hut, but keep it separate from the rest of the island buildings - I'm thinking of using it as the Japanese HQ objective).
Kappa the Hut (Sorry)!
I'll be using 3mm foam board as the main building material for my huts (which we used to call 'Kappa Board' when I was at art school). It's quick and easy to cut out and put together a basic framework for a building with this stuff...
|Er, yes...I am using spaghetti as 'bamboo' flooring!
Cladding the framework - Palm Woven Texture
Left: Palm-weaving. The newly harvested palm leaves are still green at this point, but eventually, dry out into a khaki beige colour.
Arcane went for a simple engraved checkered design which - in actuality - looked exactly like a 'brick wall' pattern. But it sort of worked (if you half-close your eyes). So, I decided to pinch the idea, tweak it slightly and here's my take on a faux- palm-weave pattern...
After a good search through all my various textured cards and whatnot, I realised that if I turned a regular 'brick wall' pattern texture vertically it kinda looked like a weave pattern (-ish).
A Note on Construction - 'Solid' versus 'Box'
While the GF9T game is seen as an entry level Segway or introduction to 'Flames of War', there is no infantry - or, indeed, any other vehicles aside from tanks - in GF9 TANKS!
Store bought 15mm buildings intended for FofW are of the opening box type so that you can place infantry inside them, but buildings made for GF9T do not need this facility. Obviously, if you think you might progress onto Flames of War you may want to make your scratch-built houses with removable roofs, but you do not have to. GF9T buildings can be solid (i.e. not openable).
|Above: My 'box hut' on the left, compared to the lovely Arcane Far-East house
on the right. The Arcane's removable roof can be seen at the bottom and the
floor planking of the laser-cut model's interior is very nice.
Round or Flat Planks?
One small quandary is whether to make the outer frame and flooring round or flat/square planks. Arcane, naturally, went with flat as this suits laser-cut MDF models, but really native-built palm huts would have been constructed from the natural trunks of trees or palms, so would be round.
As usual, I'm making things up as I go along, but - in theory - this should be a simple enough model for me to get away with it. Once I have completed this first test design the further two huts I require for my game should be easier and faster to put together.
I'm using super glue to stick the wooden frame together and as usual, I'm sticking things to me more than anything else! I must really look into what kind of glue is the best for sticking wooden things together quickly and securely.
Anyway, super glue is doing the job and I was rather pleased with the job I made of the hut's porch...
Though, I am a little unsure just how high I should make the stilts that these houses stand on. I based my initial attempts on the stilts that the Arcane model has, but I'm now thinking these look a little low. I may double the height.
Well, that's it for now. I'll have to put a bit of a spurt on this week as I'm on a tight schedule with this project and I wan to start the jungle scatter foliage this week.


text: CHESTERTOWN For more than three decades, Lincoln Logs has been a leading business in Chestertown and a pioneer nationally in designing and providing materials for log homes. Lincoln Logs Ltd. has been an industry leader that innovated efficient home construction materials and methods. But regardless of the companys storied history, apparently they are not immune from the reeling housing market. Earlier this month, suffering losses from the housing slump and battered economy, the Lincoln Logs filed for protection under federal Chapter 11 bankruptcy laws. In their court papers filed Sept. 16 in Albany, Lincoln Logs cited financial problems they attributed to the poor housing market and lack of timely payments from their customers, according to the Capital Region Business Review. Details of the bankruptcy action were detailed in their Sept. 26 issue. Lincoln Logs Chief Operating Officer wouldnt be answering questions about the bankruptcy filing, according to a receptionist answering the phone Monday. She referred calls to the companys bankruptcy attorney, Angela Miller of Phillips Lytle LLP in Buffalo. As of Tuesday, Miller had not returned phone calls or emails. Court papers indicate that Lincoln Logs has at least $10 million owed to at least 200 creditors, the Business Review reported. Assets were not specified. Court papers cite that Lincoln Logs owes First Pioneer Farm Credit about $2.6 million. The company has outstanding debt with a range of local firms, the Business Review reported, including owing $205,935 to Curtis Lumber Co. of Ballston Spa, $110,785 to R. Galusha Transport of Fort Edward, $146,136 to Holbrook Lumber Co. of Albany, and a total of $169,073 to two firms for legal and accounting work, according to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court documents. LaPell said in a court affidavit that the company has incurred operating losses after acquiring three businesses in 2003, the news report said. Plus, sales have dropped 36 percent since Spring 2006, the affidavit said. The court documents cite a sales backlog of $26.4 million, but customers have paid for only about 10 percent of these orders, LaPell stated in his affidavit, the report said. The company has 48 employees, primarily working at its Chestertown headquarters and in a sawmill it owns in Saratoga County. The Company also owns a model home off Rte. 9 at the southern entrance to Warrensburg. In a Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding, a company makes an effort to reorganize and continue operations, not close down permanently. The success rate of such actions is as high as 27 percent, according to U.S. Dept. of Justice data. On Sept. 22, a U.S. bankruptcy court judge agreed to allow Lincoln Logs to continue operations at least temporarily, until the next round of court hearings beginning Oct. 20, the Business Review reported. Since the acquisitions, Lincoln Logs management has cut $2.1 million in operating expenses, the news report said. These cost reductions, along with the firms pending sales orders, position it to recover quickly when the housing market rebounds, LaPell said in the court filing.

See the Bruce Vilanch Response That James Franco Tweeted, Then Deleted
"I mean, come on, I write for Bette Midler."
Earlier today, longtime Oscar writer Bruce Vilanch weighed in on Franco's poorly received hosting gig, telling Vulture that James Franco "didn't get there" as a host. Franco took to Twitter (and MS Paint, we think) to respond — but then quickly deleted the photo and tweet. Vilanch is not the first victim of Franco's MS Paint outbursts.

When does a gathering of protesters become a 'mob'? When do political activists become a 'rabble'? When does political anger become 'hysteria'? When does the storming of government buildings by a people who feel neglected by officialdom become 'vandalism'? When we're talking about eastern Ukrainians. When we're talking about the people of Odessa, Donetsk and other parts of eastern Ukraine that lean more towards Russia than they do to the new, EU-backed government in Kiev.
When, six months ago, western Ukrainians were camping out in squares in Kiev, protesting against the then president of Ukraine, Victor Yanukovich, and occupying government buildings, they were hailed by the Western media as revolutionaries, democrats, 1989-style heroes taking a stand for liberty and decency. But when eastern Ukranians have done likewise, setting up protest camps in Odessa and elsewhere to signal their disdain for the new government in Kiev, or marching to government buildings and sometimes storming them, they've found themselves denounced by Western observers as 'rabble-rousers', 'hysterics', 'fanatics', 'vandals'. The Western coverage of Ukraine has given new meaning to the phrase double standards; it has taken the 'journalism of attachment' – the fashion among Western observers for childishly painting foreign conflicts as simplistic clashes between the pure and the wicked – to a new low.
The language used by the Western media to describe the political anger of eastern Ukrainians has been striking – and ugly. These protesters, unlike those in the west of Ukraine, are 'the mob'; they are 'balaclava-wearing men' who are 'vandalising and occupying government buildings'; they are driven by a 'secessionist hysteria'; they are Putin's puppets, cajoled by Moscow into 'successfully disrupting' places like Odessa.
And the Kiev government's authoritarian urge to clamp down on these protesters, to put them back in their place as effectively subjects of a government they didn't vote for and do not like, is described by the Western media in the most glowing terms. Where Yanukovich's assaults on the protesters-cum-government in Kiev a few months ago were branded 'murder' and 'terror', inviting opprobrium from Obama, Merkel and pretty much every leader writer in the Western world, the new Kiev government's heavyhandedness with eastern protesters, which has included attempts to restrict official use of their preferred language of Russian and threats to ban pro-Russian protest camps, is euphemistically described as a 'push to quell the pro-Russian insurgency'. So, angry Ukrainians carrying out fairly similar street-based protests against authorities they feel threatened by can be either democrats or insurgents, revolutionaries or a mob, heroes or hysterics, depending on whether they're in western Ukraine (good) or eastern Ukraine (evil), and whether their ire is aimed at government figures that were backed by Russia (this is acceptable) or at a new government installed in Kiev by Washington and Brussels (this is a crime against global peace).
The double standards of the media coverage were superbly exposed during the 'Jews registering' hoax in mid-April. Local Ukrainian news sites reported that the Jews of eastern Ukraine, particularly in Donetsk, were being forced to register with officialdom, in a nasty echo of some of the events of the early Nazi period. The story spread like wildfire around the Western world, being reported in major newspapers, including USA Today, and eventually evoking an angry statement from the US secretary of state, John Kerry. 'This is not just intolerable – it's grotesque', he said. The only problem was that Jews in eastern Ukraine were not being cajoled into registering with the authorities. The infamous flier calling on them to register, which caused the international storm, was actually cobbled together by a small gang of anti-Semitic opportunists and handed out by 'three masked goons hanging around a synagogue in Donetsk'. There was nothing official about it at all. Yet still the completely unfounded registering rumours were latched on to by serious Western media outlets and leading politicians as evidence that the east of Ukraine is a cesspit of prejudice and backwardness.

We now have regional associations for the supervision of banking, insurance, securities trading and pensions, as well as a regional group on anti-money laundering.
Through the Caribbean network of economists, established by the region's central banks and UWI, and centred at CCMF, the Caribbean nations have kept themselves at the forefront of changing international currents in economic and financial analysis. Financial stability analysis has been no exception.
We were early in the field, and we have kept abreast of analytical developments over the years. As a result, three of our central banks now publish financial stability reports with in-depth analysis which is comprehensive, sophisticated and is designed to address the principal areas of potential vulnerability we face. That includes some analysis of regional risks, because our national financial systems are intimately linked, and it is necessary to assess regional (and international) risk exposures, in the search for completeness of national financial risk policy.

TDK wireless charging speakerTDK has a speaker that combines wireless charging and bluetooth audio for your portable devices
Hey, I'm Donald Bell for CNET.com here at CES 2013, giving you a first look at the TDK Wireless Charging Speaker. This is a pretty cool little miniature portable speaker from TDK. I've been a big fan of TDK's products of the year- remember, there are three speaker boom box I reviewed last year was pretty darn awesome. This is kinda going in another direction instead of being big and in your face. This is small, and it really combines all of the wireless capabilities you want in a speaker. It is wireless for audio, Bluetooth, and it's got wireless power because it has a 6-hour battery built right into the bottom. And you've also got wireless charging. This is using the new Qi standard for wireless charging that's built in to phones like the Nokia Lumia 920. It can be added to your phone via a case. We're seeing a lot of Qi wireless charging products out here at CES right now. So, it's going to be a big trend going into 2013. And this speaker is really there to capture that wireless charging trend, so you get the [unk] effect of all those wireless technologies all in one device. Now, it's coming out in spring. The MSRP is $399, so it's not inexpensive. It is a great-looking speaker. You're getting all those different wireless capabilities in here. You've also got EQ control on the front using this pretty neat little dial that gives you analog control over the EQ. And you've also got this-- what TDK is calling a 360 sound here. So, you could be in the middle of a room and you're going to get sound spread out from the four different tweeters out here on the top edge, and on the back, you've got this little woofer port here to really get some thumping tunes out of this box. Now, if you don't have Bluetooth on the device that you want to connect to this, you have an aux input on the back. You've also got a USB port here on the back if you want to connect any devices that aren't going to be able to make use of the Qi wireless charging on the top of this. So, there you go. That is the TDK Wireless Charging Speaker, due out in spring, $399. A great product that combines all of the wireless technologies in one. From CES 2013, I'm Donald Bell.

Brando Skyhorse's memoir is written with such velocity and stark recollection that it feels as if the author is writing to save his life. Take This Man is filled with incident after incident of Skyhorse's screwed-up, hardscrabble upbringing in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. But it's not all bleak. He also riffs with a survivor's humor: severe irony mixed with the wonder of being alive. This is a searingly funny and fearless book.
Skyhorse's childhood was unusual. The name Skyhorse is not the one that appears on his birth certificate but was part of a more dramatic identity imagined for him by his mother, "a Mexican who wanted to be an American Indian": At age 3, "I became Brando Skyhorse, an American Indian activist, incarcerated for armed robbery. … She became Running Deer Skyhorse."
His mother, whose real name was Maria Teresa and who was for a time a phone-sex operator, advertised in a magazine to give him away for adoption, although she denied she had done so. Through his teenage years, he was ambushed by a hailstorm of his mother's pathological lying. Often using butcher knives to emphasize even the most skewed of her opinions, she dated men "like a chess master in the park playing five games at once." (He had five stepfathers.) Yet Skyhorse loved her deeply.
Despite this background, Skyhorse sailed through high school and lit out for Stanford, then the University of California at Irvine, then to New York. Paranoid depression was a hellhound always on his trail. And yet there is a kind of redemption in his harrowing journey: He became a splendid writer. His 2010 novel, The Madonnas of Echo Park, won a PEN/Hemingway award.
Every page of Take This Man contains, in deftly agitated prose, a duet between a depleted spirit and the grandiosity of daily life — well, at least the life of Brando Skyhorse. After just a dozen pages, it becomes clear that Skyhorse is an expert at how we are shaped by improbable circumstances. Take This Man should be on the same shelf with Tobias Wolff's This Boy's Life, or maybe it should occupy an off-tilt, splintered shelf of its own.
The cast of characters is right out of Central Dysfunctional Family Casting. Skyhorse's grandmother June, like his mother, also bends the truth, with a wild, exacting flair; she's like a wacked-out elderly Bette Davis, an aficionado of crime fiction who keeps tabs on local street gangs. At 9, Skyhorse watches Psycho with his grandmother. In fact, Take This Man would make a terrific movie, because Skyhorse's writing has such vivid immediacy, beautifully drawn scenes and cameo appearances by all sorts of unusual, memorable characters. And also, like a lot of self-invented loners, Skyhorse often imagined himself in his own movie. He even cast famous actors as his myriad stepfathers. "One looked like Roseanne-era John Goodman," another like "a 'hot' Esai Morales" in La Bamba.
The almost-mythic narrative follows Skyhorse's search for his biological father, Frank, a quest that begins with promising mundanity: "It took Google about ten minutes to find my father." Yet tracking down this man proves complex, vexing and tragicomic.
Toward the end of Take This Man, there is much hard-earned perspective. I deeply admired Skyhorse's capacity for forgiveness, but, truth be told, it surprised me, and I didn't think everyone deserved it. The closing pages also speak to a kind of wishful reprieve from chaos: "When I am a father at last," Skyhorse writes, "I want to gather the men who fathered me over a large family-style dinner. … After a few drinks, our memories would recede like the tide and the day-to-day lives we lead would spill out in all their banal glory, and we'd laugh at how ordinary our days have become. … A chorus of six men calling me 'Son' might sound ludicrous to you, but to me it's the sound of survival; voices that have the power by the very noise they make to turn madness into song."
Howard Norman reviewed this book for The Washington Post.

Digital Politics also a tool of politicians and government actors
Digital technologies have helped radically change citizen participation in political processes, served as a platform for guerilla politics, but it's worth noting that traditional political structures have also adopted them. Citizen v government isn't the only source of digital-political struggle, and we should see increased use of ICT in familiar political arenas.
Poomjit Sirawongprasert writes,
"Politicians and political parties across the region are increasingly developing digital content and engaging in online communities. All of them have online public relations departments to announce party policy, offer opinions on certain issues, obtain feedback, and track results. Many politicians have set up their own blog sites, and high-profile figures make daily use of their Twitter and Facebook accounts to rouse support, attack their opponents, comment on current affairs and publicize their political messages."
Political parties – not just citizen-action groups – are using these tools in traditional campaign strategies.
"the Malaysian ruling party's loss of its two thirds parliamentary majority in the March 2008 general elections was credited largely to increased access to information from digital sources. Because the opposition was denied balanced coverage in mainstream media, it relied on alternative media such as the Internet, blogs, SMS, mailing lists, Listservs, and YouTube to communicate its campaign messages to the public."
Adoption of ICT by government can help de-radicalize political uses of digital technology. Plus sides include opening channels of communication and outreach, and not isolating tech-savvy electorate. Downsides include government learning more about ICT so they can censor it more effectively, or finding new avenues for media manipulation. Regardless, it suggests possibilities of a mild transformation of political structures, possibly without radical rebalancing of political power. It's possible to look to other countries – where ICT meets politics at the bottom-up and the top-down – to see a future of digital politics in Southeast Asia.
