WEDNESDAY, June 15, 2011 (HealthDay News) -- During the H1N1 flu pandemic of 2009, some people stopped flying out of fear of catching the virus while in the close quarters of an airplane cabin, but a new study shows that the "danger zone" for flu transmission is just a two-seat circumference around where you are sitting.
It had been thought that this hot zone was much larger, according to research published in the July issue of Emerging Infectious Diseases, a publication of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Scientists tracked illnesses among passengers on two long flights to Australia in May 2009, where several passengers were known to be infected with H1N1. Passengers were surveyed three months after arrival about any flu-like symptoms. Two percent of passengers had a flu-like illness during flight, and 5 percent (32) developed such an illness the week after they arrived at their destination.
Travelers were at a 3.6 percent increased risk for flu if they sat within two rows of a passenger with symptoms, and this risk jumped to 7.7 percent for those who sat within two seats of the sick passenger, the study showed. The two-seat danger zone refers to a sick passenger seated in the two seats in front of you, two seats behind you or two seats to either side of you.
Still, "it's not a given, but our 2x2x2 seats box is definitely the highest risk zone," said study author Dr. Paul M. Kelly, an associate professor at Australian National University in Canberra.
"Change seats if you find yourself within two seats of someone who is sneezing, coughing and looks like they have a fever," he said. "If you have a mask, wear it or suggest your neighbor wears it [and] wash your hands and avoid touching your own face to minimize the chances of spread via that route."
There are certain travel seasons that may be worse than others, he said. "Flu season is definitely the worst, and that is different in the northern (November-March) and the southern (June-September) hemispheres," Kelly said.
Dr. Michael Zimring, director of the Center for Wilderness and Travel Medicine at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, said the two biggest risk factors for getting the flu while flying are proximity to the sick passenger and the length of the flight.
The longer the flight, the greater the risk, he said. It is not the airplane air per se that ups the risk for flu transmission as airplanes do use air filters, which minimize the spread of germs.
"Infectious diseases such as the flu can pass via sneezing and/or coughing directly into someone's face or onto an object someone will come in contact with," Zimring said.
For example, "if someone coughs and the droplets land on a headrest or armrest, the next person touches that object and then eats with that same hand or touches ones face, the virus or bacteria passes from one to another," Zimring explained.
"The further you are away from the ill person, the less chance you will get the illness, and the shorter time you are exposed, the less chance you will contract that illness," he noted.
"Wash your hands frequently on the flight, especially if you are about to eat something, and remember the germs on the bathroom doorknob and the germs on the back of the seats as you hold on while you walk back to your seat," Zimring said.
"If you are in good health, got a good night's sleep and eat healthy, there is also less of a chance that you will get sick," he added.
Dr. Len Horovitz, a pulmonary specialist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, agreed. "If you are worried, wear a mask," he said. "You will never see these people again so who cares if they think you are sick."
Viral particles can live on surfaces for 24 hours. "Always wash your hands before touching your face," he advised.
The air jets above the seats can also propel viral particles your way, Horovitz warned.
"These germs can travel up to seven feet on a subway and they probably go even farther on planes because of the mixing of the air by the overhead jets," he said.
Getting your flu shot each year can also lower your risk of developing the flu even if the passenger next to you coughs and sneezes for the whole flight, he said.
Dr. Neil Schachter, medical director of the respiratory care department at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City, said there have been a growing number of anecdotal reports that people develop upper respiratory infections (URI) after flights longer than five hours.
"While the study finds that the range of infection is no larger than two rows in each direction, there were several people with URI on each plane -- which certainly covered a large portion of the aircraft," Schachter said.
There have been several new infections in the past few years, including H1N1. "I think that increased surveillance of passengers is helpful to keeping sick passengers off the plane," he said. "We can anticipate emerging new infections, and better airport controls is certainly a step in the right direction, but this type of policy change takes time."
Until then, "I would advise my high-risk patients with underlying health problems to ask to be moved to another area if they are seated close to someone who is coughing and sneezing," Schachter said.

Susan Campbell will kick off a new daily lineup of featured news columnists when The Register Citizen and The Middletown Press unveil redesigned print editionson Wednesday. And no topic is off the table.
Campbell developed a strong reputation in her years as a reporter and columnist at the Hartford Courant for seeking to "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable." As a new weekly columnist for our daily newspapers in Torrington, Middletown and New Haven, she'll have free rein to go after the things she feels are harming Connecticut politics and society and to celebrate some of the bright spots.
Her debut column tackles "Pulpit Freedom Sunday" and what she sees as the religious right's increasingly militant attempt to enlist congregations in political activism.
Campbell will be followed on page 3 and online each day by similarly strong voices.
Always outspoken and frequently controversial Connecticut defense attorney Norm Pattis will write on Thursdays, and doesn't hold back in his debut column about Antonin Scalia and his "originalism" philosophy of interpreting the Constitution, calling it an "ideological hoax."
The work of Terry Cowgill, a familiar face to The Register Citizen's readers in Northwest Connecticut, will be featured on Fridays.
Columns by Sarah Darer Littman, a novelist and former securities analyst, and Heath Fahle, policy director for the Yankee Institute and former executive director of the Connecticut Republican Party, will alternate on Saturdays.
Ann DeMatteo, newly named managing editor of The Middletown Press, who as a cancer survivor shares others' stories of inspiration and overcoming adversity, will write on Sundays.
Susan Bigelow, a librarian, author and former operator of the CT Local Politics website, will write on Mondays.
And Andy Thibault, a former Hartford Courant and Register Citizen editor, Connecticut Freedom of Information Commission member and investigative reporter, will write on Tuesdays.
The addition of Cowgill, Littman, Fahle and Bigelow are part of an expansion of our partnership with CTNewsJunkie.Com. Since March, we've carried its excellent coverage of Connecticut state government and politics, and are happy to be extending that relationship now to their team of columnists.

Google svp/advertising Susan Wojcicki told Adweek how she sees ad dollars continuing to move out of traditional media in favor of online.
In response to a question about how Google chief business officer Nikesh Arora believes 50 percent of all ad spend will switch online in five years, she said she believed print would continue to be the preferred victim of that shift, as people stop buying magazines and papers because they already own tablets and iPads.
At that point, all Google has to do is wait until advertisers' dollars catch up to where the customers' eyes already are. She said:
Advertising is very simple in a lot of ways. Advertisers go where the users go, and users are choosing to spend a lot more time online. Look at the adoption of tablets. Tablets have beautiful screens and can be interactive, so I think a lot of traditional print is being moved to being read on tablets. And I think we're moving to much more [Internet]-enabled TV. And think about radio, there are a lot of great services like Spotify, Pandora, iTunes and [Google] Play. So the users are moving really, really fast, and the advertisers need to catch up and move to where the users are.

Have natural hair? Yes? Great!
Okay, Now what?
Beyond all the bad words we can say about natural hair there are plenty reasons to choose 'going natural.' When you wake up in the morning you may not feel your tight curls have it going on. They do! Let me show you the way to easy street with your afro honey.
Look in most magazines, television, billboards and movies and you will see so many celebs and people you and I both know trying to run away from their beautiful African hair. So many women don't know it yet but their own hair underneath all that Other hair is certainly remarkable.
Black hair is so resilient above all else. Sure it is strong, thick, course, thin, tangled, mangled, damaged and less than manageable sometimes. However our hair always bounces back. If yours hasn't bounced back from the up and down daily grind yet, I'll help you fix that in just a minute.
I know so and so's weave looked good at the Grammys and in the video then at the mall too. That's good. Now what about your super-fly hair. We have to revive it ASAP. In my opinion It's important to feel good about the hair that you have. If you don't feel good about your hair, you're fussing about the genetics you were born with which none of us can change right about now. First thing we are going to talk about is the basics on taking care of your hair. Believe me, African at home hair care is easy. Yes, super easy. Anyone can do it with a little bit of patience. The magic ingredient is just, PATIENCE young student (smiling and nodding).
Moving right along now…Patience is of most importance if you ever want to have any healthy length to your hair. If you're always frustrated with it comes to your hair, you can't expect much from it in the way of looking great and being strong either.
Besides, all that ripping through your hair and listening to all the popping of your ends is no good for the future of your crown. If you rip through your hair at all it's time to stop it. I'm sure you want to know just how you can manage to stop when you've gotten so used to it. The amazing news is there's a better way! Thank goodness before you pull it all out.

Kent La GreePDGA# 19730 Open Masters Division
Began playing disc golf: 1982 for about 6 months. 2001 the disease began
First Disc: The Hammer
Favorite Morley Field Hole: 17 it has the most character and carnage and 7 ( I am the roller king after all (chuckles)
Morley Field Aces: Too many to count! most every hole and position at one time or another - only missing some of the longer or more obscure holes
Favorite Disc: The one that gets the birdie. too hard to really answer that one My dad taught me long ago (being a ball golf pro) a great pro can out putt you with just a stick (ball golf), to become to attached to any disc will only be heartbreak when it is lost or retired.
Favorite Driver: Star Destroyer seems to fly the truest and farthest for this ol dog
Favorite Midrange: Z Comet and the Squall... both extremely controllable for a smooth throw
Favorite Putter: XD...straight and true...it is one of the reasons for my game being where it is at...you have to have the confidence to make the putt
"In My Bag": Clothes mainly...just kidding 2 XD's 2 Destroyers 2 Squalls 2 Comets 1 Crystal Buzz 2 Valkyries
Tourney wins and / or Top 5 finishes (not necessarily from Morley): Top 5 Finishes: 2x first places The Masters @ La Mirada 2x St Louis Open Champion Morley Field Course Champion 2009 Spring Fling Championship ...memory failing, those are the ones off the top of my head
Favorite DG Website: discgolfersrus.com and PDGA.com
Favorite Pro Player: No doubts on this one, I have had the pleasure of playing with so many greats of the sport but there is one that stands out above the rest..Steve Wisecup He has always been the most professional on and off the course of any player that I have ever played with or against..he rarely makes a mistake and his recovery from them is always well thought out. I have never seen him get angry over a bad shot or loss and always has a kind word for any player..truly everyone can learn from him what this game is all about.. just my opinion though
Tips for other players: Disc Golf is a game not unlike ball golf in it's execution and mindset..confidence is the key to the game. I have watched so many throw great shots and freeze over a putt or lay up for fear of going 20 by and I know it is what holds them back from moving to the next level. it is for me 20% talent and 80% confidence. I was lucky enough to learn much about the sport from playing with much greater players than myself, each gave me a key to what I formed into my own game, so there is much thanks to Donny Olow (the crazy just enjoy it side of DG) Micah Dorius (confidence and technique) and Snapper (find a way to push it to challenge yourself)

A multibillion dollar trial began Monday to determine the culpability of BP and its contractors in the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
The key question: How much is BP to blame for the explosion that took the lives of 11 people and spewed an estimated 4.9 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico – and, thus, how much will it have to pay in civil penalties?
The trial, which could last for months, will pit rival claims of culpability as BP tries to offload responsibility for the Deepwater Horizon disaster onto its onetime partners, Transocean and Halliburton. At stake: up to $18 billion in fines. Prosecutors will have to prove not only that BP made mistakes but it acted with gross negligence.
"Despite BP's attempts to shift the blame to other parties," Justice Department attorney Mike Underhill said in opening statements, "by far the primary fault for this disaster belongs to BP."
Even BP admits it made mistakes in the run-up to the Deepwater Horizon explosion. The British oil giant has pleaded guilty to various criminal charges. It says it has paid some $24 billion in spill-related expenses.
In the current civil case, the penalty will depend on how much of the blame the judge apportions to BP. Under the Clean Water Act, BP could face fines totaling up to $18 billion. If BP successfully makes its case, the fines could run as low as $4 billion. The fine will also depend on how much oil was actually spilled. BP says the size of the spill was overstated by 20 percent.
The British oil giant acted with gross negligence, the Justice Department contends, prioritizing speed over safety in a project that was already behind schedule and $50 million over budget. BP disagrees, saying
"Gross negligence is a very high bar that BP believes cannot be met in this case," Rupert Bondy, group general counsel of BP, said in a statement last week. "This was a tragic accident, resulting from multiple causes and involving multiple parties. We firmly believe we were not grossly negligent."
Unable to reach a pretrial settlement, BP lawyers headed to a New Orleans federal courthouse Monday to contest the government's claims.
The New York Times reported Monday that a settlement offer by federal and state officials to the oil company was emerging. That deal would limit the total fines and penalties to $16 billion, lawyers briefed on the matter told the Times.
Barring any such deal, the trial could go on for some time.
"In terms of sheer dollar amounts and public attention, this is one of the most complex and massive disputes ever faced by the courts," Fordham University law professor Howard Erichson told the Associated Press.
Last November, BP reached a settlement with the US Department of Justice that amounted to $4.5 billion in fines and other penalties. The company also pleaded guilty to 14 criminal charges, including manslaughter.
In January, Transocean, the contractor that owned the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, agreed to pay a $1.4 billion fine for its role in the Gulf oil spill.
This report included material from the Associated Press.

Back in the States!
The guys had a great last night in Rome but it was time to head home. We departed Rome early in the morning. The plane ride from Rome to Detroit was 10 hours. It would be a long one.
On the plane the guys were lucky because the plane offered many new movies that had just come out not too long ago. We all watched 4-5 movies on the plane.
Once we landed it was really starting to hit everyone that we were actually done living the life in a foreign country. It was time to get back on the normal grind at school. Some of the guys got rides home from the airport, but some had to ride back to Albion on the Brit Bus.
We were to Ann Arbor when everyone on the bus heard a loud popping noise. Everyone had talked about stopping at a gas station and getting some normal food but we were joking. At this point we just wanted to get home. Well, we got what we had jokingly wished for. We pulled over and called for help. It would be 45 minutes before another Brit Bus could come rescue us from the gas station parking lot. We decided to go search for some American food!
Fortunately, there was an Applebee's right across the street. We all went there and had a great first American meal back. No glass bottles of water for 4 or more people, no gas water, free refills, one large plate full of food and best of all it was paid for by Coach Turner!
We ate and by the time we were done Coach Thomas was there for our rescue with another Brit Bus. We finally got on the road back to Albion.
It was an amazing trip and we want to thank everyone who made it possible!!!! It is cliche to say but it really was a life changing experience and we will never forget it. Thank you for reading and for the last time, ciao for now!

The Long History of New Media: Contemporary and Future Developments Contextualized
International Communication Association Communication History Interest Group Pre-conference Workshop Montreal, 21 May 2008
This ICA pre-conference explores the historical dimension of new media with regard to theoretical foundations, methodological approaches, and contemporary developments. The historical dimension of these facets of new media scholarship is all too often inadequately addressed. The purpose of this pre-conference, then, is to bring together scholars with a common interest in exploring the historical contextualization of new media. This purpose is situated within a wider celebration of the 10th anniversary of New Media & Society as a leading journal for scholarly exploration of new forms of mediated communication. This anniversary will culminate in a special issue of the journal drawing from papers submitted to this pre-conference.
We welcome papers on a wide array of historically-grounded themes. The following illustrations of topics suggest - but are not intended to limit - topics suitable for paper submissions:
* Theoretical constructs such as 'interactivity' and 'digital divide' as applied to computer-mediated communication as well as mass media within different historical contexts;
* Contemporary 'promises' of the Internet (e.g., facilitation of political discourse and engagement) compared with the promises of other media (e.g., radio, television) in previous historical periods;
* Ethical considerations in conducting online ethnography as compared to such considerations during early anthropological studies;
* Aspects of Web survey methods (e.g., sampling, instrument design and deployment) compared to social survey research initiatives in the 1940s-50s;
* Comparison of Internet Studies, Cyberinfrastructure, and e-Science developments from an history of science perspective;
* Examination of the purposes of social networking sites (e.g. Friendster, MySpace) for youth as compared to social activities of young people prior to the 'Internet era';
* The Web browser 'wars' compared to the tumultuous introduction of other communication technologies.
* Issues relating to the methodology of the history of new media.
Abstracts of ca. 300 words should be submitted no later than 1 November.
Send abstracts to: David Park, Chair of the ICA Communication History Interest Group, at email@example.com.
Authors will be informed whether abstracts have been accepted by 21 November 2007.
Papers will be due by May 1, 2008.
The program for this pre-conference will take place in the afternoon of Wednesday 21 May 2008, the date established for ICA pre-conferences.
The available time allows for three consecutive blocks of short presentations and roundtable-style discussions.
The pre-conference is a joint initiative by the Communication History Interest Group of the ICA and New Media & Society. The pre-conference will be held at McGill University, which is walking distance from the ICA conference venue.
Organized by
* David W. Park, Chair of ICA Communication History Interest Group, http://www.icahdq.org/sections/secdetinfo.asp?SecCode=DIV23

After asking where her tax dollars are going, Cardi B is ready to run for office. And we're not talking about a seat on the city council.
The 25-year-old "Bodak Yellow" rapper declared in an Instagram Live post on Tuesday that she's pondering a run for the highest office in the land, which really doesn't seem so far-fetched when the former host of The Apprentice, Donald Trump, is currently sitting in the Oval Office. Or when there's serious talk about Oprah, maybe even Kanye West making a presidency run for it one day.
"I really feel like I should run for president," Cardi B told her 20.3 million followers in a five-minute clip. "Maybe not in 2020, but maybe in 2024. I really feel like I should run for president because I have a lot of ideas that I feel like it would encourage a lot of young people, a lot of single mothers… motivate them to go to school and motivate them to get a job. You know what I'm saying? I also have a lot of ideas for taxpayers to not be so hurt on paying taxes, because we're always going to have to pay taxes. The conclusion is that we're always gonna have to pay tax, right?"
Ah, taxes — a subject the Bronx-born star addressed last week, in a video asking the government to provide a breakdown of where tax dollars are being spent.
In the new video, Cardi B also spoke about the welfare system.
"I feel like a lot of people get welfare, get food stamps, live in projects, and a lot of people don't have jobs, and a lot of people don't want to get, don't want to look for jobs," she said. "I know it's hard to get a job, but I feel like there's a lot of people that don't even try to get a job. And I feel like it's about that time that we make people try and get a job. You know what I'm saying?"
She later pointed to a girl she knows who "purposely had a lot of kids, so she could purposely get a lot of food stamp money."
In fact, "I feel like America wants the poor people to keep being poor because they make it easy to stay poor," Cardi B added.
The former Borough of Manhattan Community College student mentioned some of the challenges that she faced as a student.
"You know, going to college sometimes is very… sometimes the motivation leaves because, it's like, for example, I had to pay for my own transportation," she said. "When it was time to eat food during my break and s****, I had no money to buy food, so I would like to help college students to motivate them to keep going to school."
Despite Cardi B's ideas, she won't have the chance to run for president in 2024, unless the Constitution changes. She was born on Oct. 11, 1992, which means she'll only be 32 in 2024, a few years short of the required age of 35.
Then again, she obviously didn't worry about the age rule when she made a mock campaign announcement on VH1's Love & Hip Hop in 2016 to run in that year's election.
She was running as a member of the Keep It Real Party.

text: Mock object of death 17 August 2011 david Code Following on from my NullOf<T> class, I decided to write something that enables me to throw an exception from any method on an interface. That meant I could easily write unit tests to check exception handling. It does a similar job to the "null implementation" of an interface, but allows you to specify that a certain method will raise an exception. This is what I've got:using System;using System.Linq.Expressions;using Moq;namespace MyNamespace{ public class OfDeath<T> where T: class { public static T ErrorsWhen(Expression<Action<T>> someAction) { return ErrorsWhen(someAction, new Exception("It's all gone horribly wrong!")); } public static T ErrorsWhen(Expression<Action<T>> someAction, Exception ex) { Mock<T> mocker = new Mock<T>(MockBehavior.Loose); mocker.Setup(someAction).Throws(ex); return mocker.Object; } }}You'll see that there are two overloads; one allows you to specify whatever exception you like (the other makes an exception for you). Usage looks like this: MyService service = new MyService(OfDeath<ILog>.ErrorsWhen(x => x.Info(It.IsAny<object>()))); service.DoSomething(); So this example throws an exception when you call ILog.Info(), but not when you call any of the other methods on the ILog interface. Again, it's generic, so you can point it at other interfaces and make them throw exceptions too.

IRVINE – Jessica Pratt is keeping busy this week evaluating applications for senior staff positions on UC Irvine's student newspaper, and preparing to travel to San Jose on Saturday to accept five state awards on behalf of her paper.
The editor of New University doesn't even want to think about the possibility she may preside over the demise of UC Irvine's only student-run newspaper next year.
But that's how the dollars are shaking out for the weekly, 48-year-old publication; the only way to keep printing New University, its student editors say, is if the student body agrees to pay an annual fee of $3 each.
During student-government elections this week, UC Irvine undergraduate students are being asked to cast ballots for a measure that would automatically boost tuition bills by 99 cents a quarter – or $2.97 a year – to prop up New University. Election results will be announced Tuesday.
"At this moment, I'm optimistic it's going to pass," said Pratt, 21, a third-year literary journalism major. "I haven't been letting myself think this won't pass. I don't want to let my mind go there."
The newspaper initiative is one of three measures on UC Irvine's student ballot; all three seek to raise student fees to fund a campus organization.
Like newspapers across the nation, New University has been beset by falling advertising revenue and a shrinking staff.
The paper, distributed every Tuesday on news racks across the Irvine campus, typically runs 24 pages; six years ago, it was more than twice as long, at 60 pages. In 2008, four professional, full-time staff members sold ads for New University; now there's just one advertising representative and three student advertising interns.
In February, all 18 of the student editors took a 50 percent cut to their weekly stipends. Before the cut, pay ranged from $40 a week for associate editors to $95 a week for the editor in chief, Pratt said. (Staff writers continue to be paid $20 per article.)
The editors typically work 20 to 25 hours a week.
"We were trying to make all the cuts internally, but it wasn't enough," Pratt said.
Other student papers have grappled with similar financial challenges. Last month, UC Santa Barbara's five-day-a-week student newspaper, The Daily Nexus, stopped printing its Friday edition. In 2008, UC Berkeley's student paper, the Daily Californian, cut Wednesday from its print schedule.
In 2011, the University of Georgia stopped printing its daily newspaper entirely, moving instead to an all-online format and a weekly magazine. The University of Oregon took its print newspaper online-only a year later.
At UC Irvine, New University, which is funded entirely through ad revenue, has been steadily drawing down its reserves for the past few years to cover printing costs, Pratt said.
The paper, housed in the Gateway Study Center, is funded entirely with ad revenue and does not receive financial support from either UC Irvine's student government or the university. Pratt said the printing costs have grown about $300 per issue over the past few years, to about $1,600 for a standard run of 8,000 copies.
If this week's student ballot initiative fails, New University expects to run out of money by June 2014, said Pratt, who also will be editor in chief next year. At that point, the paper would be forced to switch to an online-only format, she said.
"Most students wouldn't care, but it's good to have a newspaper," said UC Irvine freshman Sharen Sagadraca, 18, who said she voted for the fee increase. "The cost isn't much, and you get more information from newspapers than other sources."
Pratt said that while numerous campus organizations are funded through UC Irvine's student government, it would be a conflict for New University to ask for student-government funding because the paper serves as a watchdog of the student government.
Last year, Pratt said, New University ran an opinion piece criticizing the work ethic of a candidate for student-body president; he did not win.
Other recent New University exclusives include reporting on the suicide of UC Irvine student Christien Rodriguez, who jumped from a campus parking garage in March. Pratt said local media were alerted to the suicide via a posting on New University's website.
Two years ago, New University published an exclusive interview with a UC Irvine female student who accused a prominent student of attempting to rape her. At the time, the accused student, Jesse Cheng, was the student regent for the entire UC system. Cheng was arrested for investigation of misdemeanor sexual battery, but no charges were filed. UC Irvine put him on probation for "unwanted touching."
On Saturday, New University will collect five awards in its division from the California College Media Association, Pratt said. The paper received three sports awards, a features award and an award for its back-to-school issue.
UC Irvine senior Renee Wylder, who was still deciding Thursday how to vote, said she was unsure what to make of the newspaper initiative.
"I think it's sad to do away with something like this, but then again, I don't know if I support our tuition going to that," said Wylder, 21, a drama major. "Everything is on the Internet now."

Learn to color with animals
When you are a teacher, you have to have many materials with you every day, especially if you teach at a primary school. You will need coloring books, storybooks and so on. What happens when you run out of time and cannot make it to a bookstore to buy these items? Well, easy, you just download them online.
Let's say you are teaching animals to the children. Besides art and fairy tales, you will also be able to find animals coloring pages online. This category is fun and allows the students to learn the natural habitat in a fun, relaxing way.
These materials can be easily found on the internet and many of them are free of charge. Of course, after you get a copy, you will have to multiply it so every child has one. The world without animals would be dull and we would probably have fewer cartoons with animals. Without animal coloring pages, children would really get bored. The animals make children laugh; they are fun and thoughtful. Besides, since not every kid has the opportunity to go to the countryside and see animals, they could learn about them from animals coloring pages.
The coloring books that you will find online have photos and crafts instructions or maybe materials.
The coloring books with animals should be fun, informative and accurate. The child should understand what color each animal has and then the child will have to draw it. Who said that learning is not fun at all? If you have the right tools, it all becomes child's play!

No. 95,811
1. An employee shall not be entitled to receive permanent partial general disability compensation in excess of the percentage of functional impairment as long as the employee is engaging in any work for wages equal to 90% or more of the average gross weekly wage that the employee was earning at the time of the injury.
2. Where an employee has failed to make a good faith effort to retain his or her current employment, any showing of the potential for accommodation at the same or similar wage rate precludes an award for work disability.
3. It would be unreasonable for this court to conclude that the legislature intended to encourage workers to merely sit at home, refuse to work, and take advantage of the workers compensation system.
Appeal from Workers Compensation Board; Opinion filed July 21, 2006. Reversed and remanded with directions.
Andrew S. Mendelson, of Cowing & Mendelson, P.C., of Lee's Summit, Missouri, for appellants.
Robert W. Harris, of Kansas City, Kansas, for appellee.
Before McANANY, P.J., GREENE and HILL, JJ.
GREENE, J.: Clarkson Construction Company and ACIG Insurance Company appeal the Workers Compensation Board's award of work disability to Ronald E. Mahan, arguing that Mahan's failure to exercise good faith in retaining his employment should have precluded the award. We agree, reverse the award, and remand with directions.
Factual and Procedural Background
Mahan injured his back during his employment by Clarkson but tested positive for cocaine in the postaccident drug test. As a result of the test result, Mahan was terminated but advised that he would be eligible for continued employment by Clarkson upon completion of a drug rehabilitation program. Mahan made no effort to participate in the program and claimed no impediment to his participation.
Mahan was diagnosed by his treating physician as having a muscle injury resulting in a functional impairment of 5% of the body as a whole. An evaluation by a second physician concluded that he had a functional impairment of 10% of the body as a whole. Mahan was found to be able to perform 7 of 14 tasks identified on his task list with a minimum of accommodation, including 4 of 7 performed for Clarkson. In the nearly 17-month period between his injury and the administrative hearing, Mahan worked for only 6 weeks at a used car dealership and then as a part-time bartender "on and off" for 2 months.
The administrative law judge (ALJ) concluded that Mahan failed to make a good faith effort to obtain employment but determined that he suffered a wage loss of 50% and therefore calculated Mahan's permanent partial general disability at 46.5%. The ALJ awarded Mahan 31 weeks of temporary total disability compensation at $440 per week ($13,640) and 185.54 weeks of permanent partial disability compensation of $440 per week ($81,637.60).
The Board modified the ALJ's award to increase the permanent partial general disability from 46.55 to 63%, concluding that Mahan failed to make good faith efforts to retain his employment or find other appropriate employment but also concluding that Clarkson did not meet its burden to show that Mahan would have been accommodated, thus imputing a postinjury wage loss of 75%. Clarkson and ACIG appeal.
Standard of Review
An appellate court's review of questions of fact in a workers compensation case is limited to whether the Board's findings of fact are supported by substantial competent evidence, which is a question of law. Copeland v. Johnson Group, Inc., 24 Kan. App. 2d 306, 311-12, 944 P.2d 179 (1997). Substantial evidence is evidence that possesses something of substance and relevant consequence and carries with it fitness to induce the conclusion that the award is proper or furnishes a substantial basis of fact from which the issue raised can be reasonably resolved. 24 Kan. App. 2d at 312. This court reviews the evidence in the light most favorable to the prevailing party and does not reweigh the evidence or assess the credibility of the witnesses. Foulk v. Colonial Terrace, 20 Kan. App. 2d 277, 285-86, 887 P.2d 140, rev. denied 257 Kan. 1091 (1995). Negative factual findings will not be disturbed on appeal absent proof of an arbitrary disregard of undisputed evidence or some extrinsic consideration such as bias, passion, or prejudice. General Bldg. Contr., LLC v. Board of Shawnee County Comm'rs, 275 Kan. 525, 541, 66 P.3d 873 (2003).
Did the Board Err in Concluding that Mahan was Entitled to
Permanent Partial General Disability Compensation?
Clarkson and ACIG argue that Mahan should be precluded from an award of work disability benefits by reason of K.S.A. 44-510e that provides:
"[A]n employee shall not be entitled to receive permanent partial general disability compensation in excess of the percentage of functional impairment as long as the employee is engaging in any work for wages equal to 90% or more of the average gross weekly wage that the employee was earning at the time of the injury."
The argument is that Mahan could have completed drug rehabilitation and returned to an accommodated position with Clarkson at the same or similar wage, but he voluntarily declined to do so. Based upon this inaction, Clarkson argues that Mahan should be ineligible for work disability benefits, citing Lowmaster v. Modine Mfg. Co., 25 Kan. App. 2d 215, 962 P.2d 1100, rev. denied 265 Kan. 885 (1998).
In its argument, however, Clarkson seems to confuse the findings of lack of good faith in retaining or in finding employment with the Board's finding as to accommodation by the employer. In fact, the Board found that "the record fails to establish that it is more probably true than not that [Clarkson] could have accommodated claimant's permanent medical restrictions and what such accommodated employment would have paid." Before we apply appropriate legal authorities, we must determine whether this negative finding disregarded undisputed evidence or was motivated by extrinsic concerns. See General Building Contr, 275 Kan. at 541.
The Board quoted some of the relevant testimony in its order. The loss control director for Clarkson's subsidiary, Anthony Tilson, testified as follows:
"Q. [Clarkson counsel:] Now, I'll just represent to you this is a copy of permanent restrictions issued to Mr. Mahan by Dr. Fishman. And this piece of paper has previously been admitted as an exhibit in several other depositions in this case and it includes restrictions as of July 13th which state, 'No twisting. No squatting. No pushing/pulling over 35 pounds on an occasional basis only. No stooping. No lifting greater than 30 pounds knuckle to shoulder, shoulder to overhead, 20 pounds floor to knuckle. No repetitive bending of lower back.' Then at the bottom, 'No carrying over 20 pounds on an occasional basis.' Have you ever seen a Clarkson employee with similar restrictions?
"A. (Mr. Tilson) Yes, I have.
"Q. Are you–do you know if Clarkson is potentially able to accommodate an employee with this type of restriction?
"A. Yes, they are.
"Q. In the past are you aware of Clarkson ever having actually accommodated employees with these type[s] of restrictions?
"A. Yes.
. . . .
"Q. [Clarkson counsel:] Do you have any knowledge about the–about prior situations where Clarkson has put an employee back to work after going through drug rehab and whether or not they changed that employee's pay rate?
"A. No, I don't.
"Q. Okay. Do you have any knowledge of Clarkson ever lowering somebody's pay rate after going back to work after drug rehab?
"A. No, I do not." (Emphasis added.)
On appeal, Mahan cites no evidence disputing this testimony of Tilson. We conclude that the Board's negative finding disregarded undisputed evidence regarding the potential for accommodation. Tilson clearly testified that Clarkson was potentially able to accommodate an employee with this type of restriction and that Clarkson has done so in the past. He further testified that he was unaware of Clarkson "lowering somebody's pay rate after going back to work after drug rehab." Accordingly, we conclude that the Board disregarded undisputed evidence regarding the potential for accommodation and that its factfinding to the contrary was error.
We hold that where the employee has failed to make a good faith effort to retain his or her current employment, an showing of the potential for accommodation at the same or similar wage rate precludes an award for work disability. It would be unfair under circumstances where the employee has refused to make himself or herself eligible for reemployment to require the employer to show that the employee was specifically offered accommodated employment at the same or similar wage rate. This conclusion is consistent with Lowmaster, where this court held:
"In the present case, testimony indicates that Modine [the employer] would have accommodated Lowmaster's work restriction had she not quit her job. It follows, therefore, that she was capable of earning 90% of her pre-loss wage, but chose not to do so. In both cases [Lowmaster and Foulk], an employee was capable of performing her job, was offered or would have been offered accommodated employment, and refused." (Emphasis added.) 25 Kan. App. 2d at 218-19.
Our conclusion is also consistent with the legislative intent underlying K.S.A. 44-510e as noted by the court in Foulk.
"Construing K.S.A. 1988 Supp. 44-510e(a) to allow a worker to avoid the presumption of no work disability by virtue of the worker's refusal to engage in work at a comparable wage would be unreasonable where the proffered job is within the worker's ability and the worker has refused to even attempt the job. The legislature clearly intended for a worker not to receive compensation where the worker was still capable of earning nearly the same wage. Further, it would be unreasonable for this court to conclude that the legislature intended to encourage workers to merely sit at home, refuse to work, and take advantage of the workers compensation system. To construe K.S.A. 1988 Supp. 44-510e(a) as claimant suggests would be to reward workers for their refusal to accept a position within their capabilities at a comparable wage." 20 Kan. App. 2d at 284.
Similarly, to construe K.S.A. 44-510e as suggested by Mahan would reward an employee for his or her refusal to qualify for continued employment and would penalize an employer that is unable to be specific regarding the precise details of accommodated work potential for an employee who has been justifiably terminated. Clarkson demonstrated that other workers with similar restrictions had been accommodated and that Mahan would have that potential but failed to submit to drug rehab. To require Clarkson to further demonstrate what such accommodated employment would have paid is unduly onerous on the employer where there has not been good faith by the employee to become reemployed.
The Board erred in structuring an award to include work disability. We reverse on this basis and remand with directions for the Board to award functional impairment only.
Reversed and remanded with directions.

The 400 or so people piled into the bleachers at Westerville Central High School last weekend saw a thriller win by the home team - but none of the players had class on Monday.
The 400 or so people piled into the bleachers at Westerville Central High School last weekend saw a thriller win by the home team - but none of the players had class on Monday.
Columbus, meet the Columbus Cranes, your brand-new professional ultimate disc team, part of an equally new American Ultimate Disc League dedicated to a sport with a rabid cult following, particularly on the nation's college campuses.
For the uninitiated, ultimate disc - just ultimate for short - is a 7-on-7 game that involves moving a Frisbee-like disc into an end zone through forceful, graceful passes that put your backyard Frisbee tosses to shame. Watch a few seconds of a game clip and you'll realize these guys are incredibly athletic - they're running up and down the field like soccer players, pivoting and passing like football players and jumping and maneuvering like basketball players.
Cranes president and CEO Michael Moses saw this game and wanted in. He bought the Cranes in 2009, even though he's never played ultimate and didn't know much about the nuances of the game.
"We're a huge sports city, and I thought this would make a lot of sense here, especially for what it brings to the fans. There can be an exciting play on every play," Moses said.
League headquarters are in Detroit, but organizers are far-flung; the commissioner lives in Nebraska. Founding teams are in Kentucky, Rhode Island, Detroit, Indianapolis, Buffalo, Connecticut, Philadelphia and Columbus.
The game has a massive following - Moses said people in 18 countries tuned in to the Cranes' season opener via pay-per-view television. The Cranes already have 1,300 Facebook likes and 1,200 followers on Twitter.
Colleges and universities routinely have clubs, but the sport is not NCAA-sanctioned. Most Cranes players have been associated with Ohio college clubs, and some players have been recruited from other states by their friends. Players are all 19 and older, and they work as bankers, lawyers, teachers and engineers by day.
"It's not quit-your-job money, but it is a paid job," Moses said.
The Cranes are back in action this weekend at Westerville Central. The regular season continues through July, and the league championship will be held at the Detroit Silverdome in August.

This is the Telechron "Tellebel" (1933-36), initially known as the "Telecall". Among the several options this one come with brass (shiny) case and with a black Bakelite molded base (~33,744 sold). This is an alarm clock and what makes it different from similar ones, from the same time, is that this one was the first with the 'stop' alarm on the 'Top' of the clock. Honestly, I have no idea if it is true, but it is curious to observe that all other alarm clock from that period of time have the alarm-stop on the back of the clock!...

Loading / Unloading A+
Have used this company two separate times to load a U-Haul truck for out of state moves. BOTH times, unloaders remarked on quality of loading. I appreciated them showing up on time, working at a quick pace, and safely loading my personal belongings. No personal item damage either move. Would recommend.

I would highly recommend this company : moving is so stressful but get moving crew made it easy , professional and most definitely 5 stars , reasonable and the most qualified 👍
Fast, professional and efficient service.
Olu and Mike were friendly, polite & thorough.
Fast, and Professional service provided. I recommend this company
Excellent crew
We had the pleasure of working with oni and chad, what wonderful guys, they were so thoughtful about how they handled all of the furniture!
The guys were quite polite and took good care that nothing was damaged. They were very concerned that everything they touched or move to accommodate the tasks at hand was returned to its original place. Would most certainly recommend this company to anyone we know and will engage their services again when the need arises. Thank you.
Hard working, friendly service.
They contacted me to let me know they would be a little late arriving. When they arrived, they looked over everything to be packed. They worked hard in excessive heat. I had to to tell them to take a break. They were able to pack everything I had, I was worried that I would need to sacrifice some my pieces because not everything would fit. I wish I could have hired them to unpack my truck when we arrived at our cross country destination. A few things were broken during unpacking, but I think that was due to people unloading the truck.
High Quality Moving services
These guys are amazing. Nothing was damaged and very polite. I will recommend them anytime any day for their professionalism.
I first became aware of this company when they moved my daughter a couple of years ago. I had the opportunity then to observe their performance. They were extremely friendly and polite. My daughter had purchased two hours of moving services (as did I) from Groupon. In the case of both my daughters's move and myself, the two gentlemen that performed the move worked with extreme efficiency- no wasted movements. They hustled. Additionally, they handled the contents which were entrusted to them with care. Without hesitation I would recommend this company to others. For the record, our two movers were KJ and George. As with my daughters movers, they were friendly and polite.
Great service, friendly and efficient. Highly recommend
VERY Satisfied!!
Called for an estimate, booked our move and they were Right on Time! Considering they work by the hour they HUSTLED the entire time they were moving us!! Very friendly, careful and very professional. I Highly recommend this company!
Professional, trustworthy
Get moving and storage was absolutely wonderful in moving us from Kansas City to NC. They were organized and professional. On time arrival. Nothing broken. Very affordable!! Overall, we had a great experience with this great moving company.
Affordable and Efficient; Movers were Great
Loved the price and the service. They sent someone out to give me a quote the same day and were able to schedule my move for the every next day. Movers were extremely efficient and very polite throughout. I very rarely take the time to make a call to compliment service; however, they two movers left such a good impression that I called the company that same day.
Great service
I was pleased with the speed and efficiency of the movers and after my first review they did come back out quickly after to fix it and everyone has been very polite. I would like to say I would definitely recommend this service again.
Quality service!
I was very please all around! They were able to get me on their schedule with short notice. Fair prices, friendly and professional staff and quality performance! I will definitely use them again.
Review on move
I had a great moving experience they were fast and efficient. It wasn't until they left I realized that they had screwed one of my beds side boards together upside down, so now since I'm a girl by myself I will have to wait until I can have someone come over and help me unscrew the bed and redo it. With that hassle I don't know if the movers can come back and put my bed together correctly? I gave them each 20$ tip for a two hour job and now I regret it since my bed is not put together correctly. Thank you, Kelsi
Well Trained - Capable - Organized
The guys called in advance to let me know they were on their way, and their approximate arrival time. It was obvious they were well trained, capable and organized. They worked quickly but safely. No wasted time. I also appreciated their professionalism and courtesy. We have used them several times before, and plan to continue as the need arises.
Professional, careful, and lifesavers!
And the calm in my storm! Had a rough moving day recently and I am so glad Get Moving and Storage were with me. If it were not for their professional, friendly service, I don't know what I would have done! They were polite and patient and so helpful. Moving is stressful, and GM&S movers made it seem like a breeze. They provide professional, high quality service at a rate that is affordable. I will definitely call them again whenever a move comes up.
Very High Quality and Professional
GM&S showed up on time with a full crew and proceeded in a very professional manner (even when our "stuff" seemed to continue to multiply).
Customer Service, Quality, Timeliness
Friendly, professional service and great efficiency! I would recommend this company to anyone looking for honest movers who will get the job done quickly and professionally and work to meet your needs within your budget.
Professional, friendly, high quality service
We used Get Moving and Storage to unload our moving truck. The two gentlemen who unloaded the truck were very professional, polite, and friendly. They worked quickly, and asked exactly where we wanted each piece of furniture and all boxes. They took great care with everything, and carefully navigated through the house to ensure they didn't hit walls or other items currently in place. I highly recommend Get Moving and Storage, and will definitely use them again!
High Quality Professional and Friendly
Hi Olu... get moving and storage exceeded my expectations and I appreciated all your personal extra help too! It was a joy to meet you and I so appreciated everyone's help! Thank you, you are all such blessings! much love
High Quality And Affordable
Get Moving and Storage is an epitome of customer satisfaction. Contracted them from Oklahoma and they were prompt to render their services at unbelievably affordable rates,had a bunch of highly professional employees that were so friendly and meticulous in handling my wares and they delivered hitch free. They are highly recommendable. Thanks.
Well Organized, Great Communication & Good Job
Punctual, polite and careful ! We've used them before and we'll use them again.
Great Service!
Get Moving and Storage has done a lot of work for us over the past few years. They moved our business when we outgrew our location and have come back for smaller moves as we have grown in our new space. They did such a great job that our employees have used their service for their household moves. The last move that we hired them for was a move that was several states away. They were timely, showing up at the new location as they predicted they would. Every item intact. Olu and his crew are very professional and would highly recommend using them for all your moving needs. Olu has done a great job for both personal and business moves. Thank you Olu and Crew!
Great service. Did extra
Did a great job. Called before their arrival, were friendly and even helped moved some items around our house that weren't involved in the move. Would recommend them and definitely use them again.
The movers where very friendly and professional!
I was a little unhappy when a small cabinet was knocked over and a lamp and a curio cabinet were damaged. Other than that, they did a great job, in a timely manner. They had to make two trips to get everything moved. A large gouge was put in the wall when moving a piano into a room off the hallway! This was reported to the company and within a week all damages where repaired and the lamp was replaced to our satisfaction.
Relationship began with 1st phone call in which Olu professionally explained their rate schedule. They arrived a little early for my appointment (always nice). Treated my possessions with utmost respect. Wrapped and Padded everything. Deported themselves as professional movers should. Used GPS for trips between houses (there were 3 involved). Were Professional, Prompt and Polite at each stop. Were honest and accurate with bill. I would highly recommend Get Moving and Storage to everyone and will use them again. Thank you Olu!
Professiona movers go the extra mile!
After our first experience with Get Moving and Storage,I definitely wanted them for my second move. Just like the first time, Olu and his team were prompt, efficient, and had a positive attitude. They worked quickly while taking great care of my belongings.I recommend Olu and Get Moving and Storage to anyone who wants a stress-free move! I will definitely call them for my next move!
5 Stars
The service was excellent And Timely. The movers were very professional very kind and very considerate. I would highly recommend them to anyone or Moving and Storage. I told him I would go on Facebook with review. Thank you so much for your effort to accommodate us in a short period of time and doing so with such friendliness and professionalism. I believe this company will go far in a short period of time because you all have what it takes. Thank you so much for your services.
Did a fantastic job did not waste my time
Paid for 2 hours of time through groupon. Was worried they might go slow in order to have me pay extra but they didnt. The gentleman that came showed up on time aske me what they needed to move. And went over rules and what their sercices entailed. Then started the time and jumped right into the work. They packed everything into the truck ensuring my belongings were safe and secure. Would definetly recommend them to anyone wanting to move. Will use them again in the future. Finished at exactly 2 hours.
Professional skilled
The movers showed up on time they were very courteous extremely professional I would recommend them and refer them to anyone I know.
Expert movers, great service
Get Moving and Storage provided a great moving experience for me. With their knowledge and expertise, you know you are in great hands. They show they really love their job and take great care with your property. Extremely well organized and respectful. Would definitely use them again. Thank you Olu and your crew for making a difficult job look so easy!
High quality Service
At 90+ degree heat !!!These guys were great.They were polite, very professional and smiled all through the move. I was very impressed and satisfied with the way the took care of my belongings. I will use them again and again and also tell friends and family how great this company is.
Best movers ever
This is the second time I've used them for a move. They are friendly, professional, and fast. Olu and his crew are great and I will continue to hire them and recommend them to friends.
Excellent Experience
I had a very large move and chose Get Moving. I was not disappointed. A great crew of 3 men who were efficient and friendly. They treated my belongings as if they belonged to them. Lots of stairs in both places but only smiles. Thank you Get Moving!!
The movers were outstanding! Professional,courteous,organized and efffecient! I will be recommending this team to my friends and family.
My experiences with Get Moving was great. They were professional, quick and polite. Thank you so much for making my two moving days a wonderful experience.
Great Experience!
I was recommended by a friend and would recommend them to anyone. They were very accommodating to scheduling and requests to change. They were very professional and handled my items with care.
Professional, great service, and handled everything with care.
They did a great job. It was a much longer process than I anticipated, but they tried their best to keep the process going non stop, and very careful with all the furniture during the move. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.
I will very impressed with the professionalism from both Ole and George. They both made my moving experience stress free. Very caring with my personal items and listen to specification where I wanted my boxes to go. I will for sure hire this company for my moving needs. I highly recommend this company and the special on Groupon was great! It really helped us with our move. very appreciative and very satisfied customer.
Professional and efficient
Yesterday Get Moving and Storage helped me move out of my apartment into my new home. They were very careful not damage anything and timely. The guys were professional and considerate with protecting wood floors also. I would recommend them and use them again if need be.
fantastic company
Found these guys on Groupon. Two days before I was suppose to move everything and everybody feel through!!! I needed to move my stuff and only had limit funds. These guys work 24hrs 365 I greatly appreciated them. Ivan and Mike worked quick and we're very professional I'd recommend them to anyone.
Excellent movers
I was moved from Kansas city to Houston Texas, the movers were focused and they knew what they were doing. They moved every item without a scratch and got to Texas on schedule. I was really impressed and couldn't believe how affordable their services are compared to other moving companies. I would use them over and over again.
So Kind and Helpful (But Late)
The two gentlemen who helped us move were wonderful! They were kind, extremely helpful and very professional! All of our furniture arrived at our new home in perfect condition. They even helped with a few extra things around the house that we needed assistance with. The crew was more than an hour late (they did call in advance to let us know they would be late). Additionally, it took them about 45 minutes to get to our new home, which is less than 10 minutes from our old home. Due to this, they went about a half hour over our 2 hour time and we were charged for this overage.
edith bowen
very polite, were knowledgeable in moving furniture. I give them a 5 this time....I would have them again. Thank you. Edith Bowen
Supurb service
Udo and George were amazing. They arrived on time, finished on time, were very quick and amazingly careful with my furniture. They were so amazing in fact I called the office to during the drive from the move out to the move in location to share how pleased I was with thier work. I would highly recommend not only the specific movers but Get Moving overall. From the time I called to get an estimate to the end this company was fantastic. Can't say enough good about this group
The best in professional movers.
I was impressed with our movers both times:taking our furniture to storage and then to my new residence. They were careful with my belongings and worked in an efficient manner. Absolutely the smoothest moving experience we have ever had. I could not recommend these 2 movers more highly.
Very Professional!
This is the second time I have used Get Moving and Storage LLC and once again I had an exceptional experience. Olu is organized and takes great care loading and unloading all your furniture. They are so polite and hard working. I would highly recommend them and I will definitely use them again!
Reliable, friendly and professional moving company
We moved our entire household goods from North MO to the KC area. We had four bedrooms, two dining sets, and 18 years of personal items to move from one home to another. GM&S loaded everything in one day, kept the load overnight for us (with capability and low cost to keep in storage for longer), and delivered our items the next day with no problems at all. We hired a three man team. They were super focused, and they worked nonstop. There were no hidden charges of any kind. I appreciated that they brought wardrobe boxes for us to use free of charge. Nice touch and very helpful. We would hire this company again without question.
Repeat Customer
This was the second time I've used this company this year. First time in January to get belongings off storage, donate some at goodwill then some to my old apartment. I was very apprehensive in January as they were a referral and this was the 1st time using them. Everything went very smoothly. Olu and I forget the 1st guy's name were very fast and professional. Compared to the competitor, their prices were very fair. I used them again this past weekend to move from Shawnee to Olathe. Booking was very smooth over the phone. First hour was half off due to a special they were running. On the day of the move Olu and George were very punctual. Helped me pack some, they were very prepared and had necessary equipment. Weather was horrible, (rain, ice) not one complaint. They were very fast and professional yet again. I will use this company again and again and recommend it widely. Good job guys! Olu and George rock 🙌🏼
smooth, fast and professional
They did a great job getting us moved. Very professional and polite. The guys were very fast and thorough. I will definitely recommend this company. Thanks for getting us moved!
My move experience
I was pretty thrilled throughout most of the move. Each one of the movers acted in a highly professional and friendly manner. The only dis-appointment I had was at the end, which was getting close to mid-night, was that the beds were not put back together, they forgot the huge ladder and was informed at payment time that they would only except cash. That was such a tall order since it was after mid-night at that point. I would still highly recommend you. Overall my move experience with Get Moving went smoothly. Thank you!
Thank You Get Moving
I would like to thank you all for the move. The movers were really friendly and did not take long at all even when I did not have everything done packing. No damages were done, everything was wrapped, boxed, and stored properly and all at a reasonable price. I can't wait for you all to move me all again into my new place in these nexts weeks to come. Thank you all very much!!!
The Best!
This was the friendliest, fastest, most professional moving crew I've ever had. They were very early, which was more fine, since I had other things to do, that day. They got right to work, loading boxes. They didn't scratch one wall! When the time comes for another move, I'm definitely calling this company!
Consummate professionals from start to finish!
Telephone support was very helpful. Marvin and Olu were friendly and professional. You could tell by watching how they handled themselves and the furniture that they Truley know what they are doing and care about the cusomer.
Get Moving and Storage LLC is a very professional company that is always on time. They always go out of their way to give you the best possible service.
Really satisfied
I used this company to move from Kansas City, Mo to Houston, TX. In addition to their low cost, they are reliable and dependable. They delivered my stuff as promised and nothing was missi ng. I would greatly recomment this company to anyone. Serges
Awesome crew! Speedy, efficient, and very helpful!
Fantastic Movers!
I've never used movers before and moving is always stressful and awful on a number of levels (this one for me was stressful as it was a short-notice move and I got the packing out of the way). So when I scheduled Get Moving to move me, I was apprehensive at first due to the fact I've never had anyone move me before. Easily, it was the best decision I've ever made in any moving process. I had 2 young men show up and they were friendly and courteous walking through the house, then they were quick and efficient once the physical moving started. They really eased my mind (and my back!!) and ensured everything was handled properly, safely and carefully. They made the experience friendly and fun (as fun as moving can be, of course) and it truly was a fantastic experience. Overall the experience was great and I would be comfortable using them in the future and would recommend them to friends or family that need to be moved.
Best In Class Service
Really feel honored to provide feedback abbot Get Moving. I sincerely thanks the entire team for the world class service they provided. I indeed is short of words to express my gratitude for all you did for us. I had to move on a short notice because of work and no Big companies were ready to take my request for such short notice, Get Moving came as an savior for me for accepting my last minute request at such short notice. They not only ensured the safety of my goods but also delivered me on time. As they say, they are passionate about moving which truly is reflected by their work. Highly impressed with their commitment and dedication to their job. Recommend them for any moving needs at competitive rates and best in class service. Kudos to entire team. God Bless.
Best in the Business
Courteous, considerate, efficient and professional. Would highly recommend and will use if I ever have to move again.
On their A game
The two young gentlemen that came were professional, pleasant and very hard workers! We got more moved in two hours than I had imagined! The only issue we had, we weren't told there was an extra charge for moving a washer, dryer and stove. It wasn't outrageous but just not expected. I will use them again and recommend them!!
A relaxed move? it is possible!
Moving can be very stressful, but Get Moving and Storage took care of everything and made it so easy. They are professional and knowledgeable, and calm, and they treat you and your things as if they were valuable. They made my moving day was very easy and stress free. I would definitely hire them again for another move. Thank you, and great job Olu and crew. I couldn't have done it without you.
Very professional and quick yet careful.
This company made my moving experience much less stressful. They were late because the address was recorded incorrectly which is why I can't give them 5 stars but overall I am a happy customer.
Would use again.
These guys were my 2nd set of movers for the same job. The company "Always Helpful Movers" quit part of the day through because they were very tired, and refunded me part of the bill as they weren't going to come back the next day. We still had boxes and hand carry items that were in the house. I called this group, and they had the job done in 4 hours. There was still a lot of stuff left when they arrived on the scene. They worked on a Sunday, too!
Moving my Daughter
one of the best experience I ever had with moving, and I will stay with these Company for all of my moving. I strongly recommending them to my friend and family. They were very reasonable comparing to others, so that I could afford it. Right on time, they showed up. They did whatever we agreed upon to do, very professional, great attitude, very neat and clean. they did a great job, made my life much more easier with my OCD daughter !! :), if you know what I'm talking about !!. Over all I'm very happy about the whole move, and decision I made.
Great Job!
Hired Get Moving to move my 1 Bedroom apartment. They were extremely punctual, very considerate and professional at the same time. Special word for Olu and Trent - you guys were great! Highly recommended!
I would recommend this company.
From scheduling to the actual move day Get Moving and Storage was very responsive to my needs and efficient with communication. I loved working with them and will do business with them again in the future.
Great experience!
They made moving so much easier! They wrapped everything and took great care of my things! They were friendly and professional!
Fantastic Experience!
I have used this company for two moves now and both times were a dream. They showed up promptly and were pleasant and efficient. I would highly recommend GET MOVING.

NOTE!! I recommend getting the CD for the moment ro get the digital download from Amazon. The digital distribution is a little screwed up right now. If you download it from itunes you will only get 6 of the 7 tracks. Amazon has all 7 downloadable, so do several other 3rd party venues, but iTunes is wrong. Were working to fix the problem.
