Bravo guys! You truly deserve 5 stars. No wonder people love you, you guys are the best! We had such a beautiful experience with you guys. I did not know moving could be this easy. The guys are efficient, hardworking, polite, well-coordinated and so caring. There wasn't a single scratch on anything. It's been 10 days that we have successfully been relocated and we found no errors. We had a lovely time working with Zip to zip moving services. We really appreciate it.
The movers I hired from Zip to zip moving services were just too good. They managed their schedules perfectly. I do get annoyed with people who don't care much for punctuality so I was glad these guys did. The company itself is very well reputed and trains the movers rigorously. Hence, these men were amazing at their jobs. All my valuables arrived at my new house completely intact. They charged rightfully and I truly enjoyed their service.
Zip to zip moving services made our last move the easiest one till date. We hired them on a recommendation from a friend. Their quote seemed only fair given how the current market is. They sent over 4 very strong looking men who got to work right away. Both my wife and I were very pleased to see how professional these movers were. They were working tirelessly all over my big house without any complaints. When we received the delivery, everything was in very good condition and none of our belongings went missing. We are at awe for how professional this company was.
I hired Zip to zip moving services basing on their reputation to transport my belongings. Their resources are huge as they very often do interstate moving. I talked to the company on the phone and they were so friendly. They gave me a quote that was so cheap. They sent 4 men and all of them were very skilled. They made my move so easy. They made the delivery on time and everything had traveled well. It was the most effortless move of my life.
Moving on my own wasn't even an option for me. I hired zip to zip relocation to come in and pack everything for me. It really was a good decision on my part since these guys made my life so easy. I just had to agree on a price and provide a moving date. They movers did the rest. I just drove to my new place and found everything placed in the exact place they belonged to. This one is just an amazing moving company in my opinion.
Everyone was so helpful! The office assisted me with the insurance certificates and answered all my questions regarding long distance moves. Movers they did all the packing perfectly and left everything clean. They were professional, polite, fast, hard and quick workers. There were no hidden fees, real professional and nice movers. And most importantly they did a great job! I will continue using Zip to zip moving services!
I chose zip to zip moving services because their sales rep was very attentive to my needs and got back to me in a very timely manner. The items that they moved were all in the same exact condition and overall the experience was a good one. I just wanted to take a minute out of my day and say thank you to zip to zip moving services for taking such great care of me in a very stressful situation.
Horrible experience, broken items (chair leg, sofa leg, broken arm on wooden chair, broken dishes). The estimate that was given was way under the amount that we were finally charged.
I have relocated several times throughout my professional life and it's always hectic. Luckily there are moving companies who take away some of your stresses. One of those companies who are at the top of their game is Zip to zip moving services. I hired them for my last move after my mum recommended them. It was a sudden move and I needed them to send their men on a 2-day notice. Their quote was very reasonable and the men they sent were exceptionally experienced. I didn't have to do anything. They took care of pretty much everything from packing everything to cleaning up afterwards. When my valuables were delivered on time, I checked the inventory and everything was there in very good condition. I am very pleased with them and will hire them again for sure.
Had a good move from Carlstadt, NJ to Dallas, TX and Zip to zip moving services was the mover made it happen. They took real good care of us throughout the whole process. They treated us as if we were their own family and we really appreciated that. The crew was efficient, strong, hardworking and polite. They always had a smile on their face. When they were doing their task they seemed to enjoy it a lot. Great guys. Thank you Zip to zip moving services for sending this crew.
I got to know about Zip to zip moving services from my colleague. He highly recommended them. I called them up and the communication was great and all my questions and requests were answered and accommodated without fuss. They arrived exactly on time, performed the move quickly and efficiently for exactly the price we had agreed weeks in advance. Clearly they are live up to their reputation.
Gave quote for $1500 dollars loaded truck and told me the new price is $3200 dollars Beware
Zip to zip very un professional.the driver and helper did not speak English . Our good dishes and crystal was broken. There was chunks of wood broken off our couch. All the truck could say in English l just drive the truck .l called customer service for 4 days before I could get anyone on the phone zip to zip is very unprofessional in my opinion
I got rates from many companies but zip to zip moving services had the best rate out of the movers. The customer service agent was very nice to cooperate and the packing crews were quick and competent. They did a fantastic job keeping me updated throughout the service. They provided complete transparency to understand how the price was calculated. I used other moving companies also but no one had much better service than zip to zip moving services. They reached on exact time to deliver. Good Work Guys!
Zip to zip moving services managed to pack everything in to one truck even though there was a more than they had expected. They wrapped everything nicely so there were no breakages or damage, including a huge amount of kitchen equipment. They had to remove part of a door to get my sofa out and put it all back together again afterwards. It all went super well! I can't recommend them highly enough.
Bad experience from beginning to end. I was very nervous about moving from one state to another after reading people's bad experiences. However I was reassured by Alfred, my moving coordinator and trusted what he told me. As soon as they arrived the morning of my move i realized i made a mistake.As soon as they arrived my price went up over $3,000 something i was told never happens because their state of the art software is always accurate in their estimates.. They came with a truck that was too small, Some items were never put on the truck. They came back 2 days later to pick up things that were forgotten. Then to to delivery. It was a nightmare. It took over two weeks to arrive. The driver came with four guys they picked up somewhere that didn't even work for the company. We had damage to the walls and the floors from these unprofessional movers,,our items weren't put together and they just left.Our shipment that they came back for never arrived and by the way they also tell you how much you have to tip. I would NEVER recommend this company.They gain your trust over the phone, tell you everything you want to hear, and sound great but from my experience i can tell you booking with them would be a mistake.
I have read a lot of comments and decided to use zip to zip moving services. Their team was very friendly, polite and fast. I had some new and some old furniture, some of the pieces are my favorite ones, and I was worried that some of these could get damaged or lost. These guys were great. They were super careful with my stuff and they treated me with high respect. All my things were intact. They brought all the necessary equipment and worked consistently and efficiently. When we finished the job, there were no extra fees. I paid the amount I was told to at the very beginning of my moving procedure. If I would have to move again, I would definitely use zip to zip moving services!
Zip to zip moving services is one of those movers that you will use again and again. I had a wonderful move with them. They were really easy to book. They gave good rates which is reasonable. They were just 5 minutes late but they worked really hard. They packed, wrapped, boxed and loading everything in 5 hours. They worked nonstop. They were really friendly by the way. They were really helpful on the other side as well. I didn't think they could carry the furniture through that narrow staircase but they did a fine job. This showed that they do this a lot. They are experts. Nice work guys.
I spent some time researching all of my options for various moving companies and for some reason I kept coming back to Zip to Zip Moving Services.
I gave them a phone call an they were very professional over the phone. I waa impressed by the amount of knowledge the movers have. They really made the move easy for me with all of their tips and tricks.
They even helped me get every thing set up in place nice and neat. I didn't have any damages to report however I did have to call their main office and give them kuddos
This moving company was fantastic from start to finish. They were very careful with every piece of furniture as well as respectful. It was an exhausting move and day which continued well after midnight. The movers never complained or acted tired even though they must have been exhausted! They always asked before doing anything extra and let us know how much any additional packing or supplies would cost.
We were absolutely dreading this move. We were first time movers so the dread was well expected! I hired zip to zip moving services to handle the move. They were so amazing that we finally agreed that this relocation was just too easy. They arrived on time and wasted no time while working. They worked like machines packing everything and then loading them on to the van. The space in the van was properly utilized. The delivery was made on the scheduled day with all our stuffs intact. I wasn't expecting such efficiency from these guys. We are not scared of moving anymore.
The guys came on time and they were very motivated.
All my belongings were treated like they were their own.
The big furniture were disassembled and assembled again and arrived without a scratch.
The representative called me at the end of the day and ask if i am pleased with the service.
The price was the as we agree at the beginning.
Thank you Zip to Zip movers for making this unpleasant day to a very relaxed one.
My experience with Zip to Zip movers was great . This was the first time using a moving company and their service was timely and efficient. They wrapped all my items with care and those things that I had packed myself they added extra wrapping if necessary. They moved quickly it took 2hours to pack up the truck however to unpack and reesemble was less than an hour. They put things exactly where I wanted them placed. If I ever move again I will definitely utilize their services and I will reccommend them assist others with their moves
I recommend Zip to Zip Movers to everyone – they did a excellent job of moving my items from a Storage facility in Pennsylvania and transporting everything to Virginia in 1 day. They are very professional company – they've put my mind to ease from the beginning to the end. Trying to find the right moving company was very hard – I did my homework and went to the Better Business Bureau website and Zip to Zip Movers have a A+ rating. Thanks Zip to Zip Movers in making this the best moving experience. Pamela
We had a good move thanks to Zip to Zip. My husband and I have moved quite a few times just renting a truck. This move we have a baby, and I am due with another in 3 months so I can't help like I used to. The full pack was well worth it!! All I had to do was open the door when the movers arrived. They did everything else!!!! When it was time to deliver they put everything together in the rooms I told them to. I spoke to a few companies and I know I got a good value and so pleased with the service.
It is so good to be back in San Diego after living in Tampa for 8 years, this place will always be home. The memories of Florida lives on through all the things we bought while we lived here, courtesy of Zip to Zip Movers that moved all our belongings so carefully and efficiently. Not only were they absolutely reliable and polite, I think I may have found a very good friend among one of the movers. Did I mention they didn't charge me a cent extra?!
Last time I've been moved by Zip to Zip and it was one of my greatest experiences. The team was so fast and nice. All my boxes were packed with care and the furniture is in great condition, no scratches and cracks. The Foreman and customers service was so helpful and they explained to me how to save the space and the money. I'm not going to change my moving guys and I'll suggest them to all my friends. Thanks for an easy move
5 Star Moving Rating Interstate move from North Carolina to Arizona
I have moved way too many times in my life to do this by myself anymore. My wife and I had been planning to move for quite some time but then I got the job opportunity of a lifetime and we were suddenly packing up everything and getting ready to hit the road.
We called a few moving companies to test our options and Zip to Zip Movers was by far the best. They were not the cheapest, and far from the most expensive, but had a certain level of professionalism that other companies lacked. I mean, after all, we are giving them our entire lives to handle.
They were great, prompt in picking up and delivering and everything was in perfect condition upon arrival, it was almost too easy.
I would definitely use them again next time we move halfway around the country
I am absolutely blown away by how Zip to zip moving services handled my last move. I understand that moving is never cheap. But there are no moving companies who charge less than these guys. Neither are they more efficient than them. By no means do I mean to undermine their performance during my move because they were absolutely fantastic. This company is the real deal.
Very deceitful tactics. Unprofessional employees.
I completely agree with all the bad reviews that are written below. I was underquoted to 450 cubic feet for a total moving cost of $1650. On the day of pickup I was told that the my things took up 665 cubic feet in the truck for a total moving cost of $2327 before all of the added BS costs such as long carry fee (have no idea how the guy even came up with the number) and cost of tape for padding up the furniture. In addition, the person in charge of picking up my furniture kept repeating that people tipped him 10% so I felt pressured into giving him that. If I would have known that he would be so irresponsible about wrapping and packing my furniture and several large items would be delivered in an unusable state, I would not have given him a tip.
The person in charge of my pick-up also misinformed me about what I should write for my delivery date…I told him I was moving into my new apartment on 6/25 and would like my furniture delivered on that date. He advised me to write ASAP as the delivery date in order to ensure a 6/25 delivery date and stated he would talk to his boss and explain my situation to him. He failed to tell me that my things could arrive before that date which is an incredibly vital piece of information. I received a call from my moving company on 6/22 stating my furniture would be delivered on 6/23. I did not even have my new apartment at that point and I was still residing in NJ and was no where near the state of OH. The driver that called me said "OK I will put your things in storage and you can pick them up". This comment enraged me because it was completely insensitive, inconsiderate, and unprofessional since their employee completely misguided me on how I should declare my delivery date. I then spoke with a manager of the moving company and he said they would take responsibility of the costs for making a mistake and my new delivery date would be 6/26-6/30. I was incredibly stressed out because I had a family wedding to attend on 6/30 and I bought my plane tickets months ago and was worried my furniture would not be delivered in time.
My furniture finally arrived on 6/29…the subcontractors who picked up my things from storage were appalled at the way my furniture was packed up and stated that their company would never pack a customer's things this way (the moving pads came off of one side of my sofa and the entire side of the sofa was exposed to the air and whatever bugs or mice also reside in the storage facility). My TV stand and dresser mirror were completely broken and unusable and the person unpacking my furniture said the way it was packed was unacceptable. There were other damages too…one of my lamps was broken and the back of one of my sofas was ripped. Please keep in mind that during the initial quoting process, I was told that the reason I should pick this company is because their employees pick up and deliver and there is no in between man…yet another lie on their part.
I am so unbelievably upset at this situation. I paid for large items to be inappropriately packed and delivered broken and shattered. The greatest part is that I will get very little money for these items based on the 60 cents per lb rule. So essentially it cost more for me to send those items. If I would have known that items were going to be mishandled and arrive broken, then I would have left them in NJ and donated them to the salvation army so someone could benefit from them.
I did not have a pleasant experience with this company at all and I will never recommend this company to any of my friends or family in the future. It's a joke that this company has a motto of "Customer Service. Reliability. Professionalism" on their website. This whole process has discouraged me from hiring movers in the future. Moving is a very stressful process in the first place and added stress should not be placed on the customer. The people who quote you at the beginning know exactly what to say to hook you and it's very deceiving.
Deceitful tactics – Do not use this company, I have never dealt with a more deceitful company before. They initially re-assure you that everything will be fine with your move, yet they just undercharge you to get you hooked. They got me good, even after I was told not to deal with them from other companies, their re-assurances made me think everything would go smooth, Shame on me for not going with my instincts. This company misrepresented their services. My cost to move started at $1600 and by the time we were finished it was at $4900.00 which they did reduce to 3300 but still more than double. My hands were tied as the items were on their truck. Upon delivery, 6 pieces of my furniture was broken, the reassemble done by them for my bed was not done correctly and the bed collapsed, and 2 of my bins were never delivered. When they packed their truck, they packed it very loose taking up extra cubic feet. When the truck came with the delivery (a different truck and company it was packed so tightly using far less cubic feet that it resulted in my furniture coming off the truck broken. I contacted the company and they told me to file a claim. The insurance claim process is totally unrealistic, they basic insurance gives you 60cents a pound, so for my $1000.00 worth of furniture I will get $60.00 and then they will come and take it. Upon signing the contract this company said they will be the ones picking up and delivering, they picked up but did not deliver, another company delivered. Very dissatisfied with this whole ordeal. Just do not go with Zip to Zip, the worst ever
I just recently moved from Kentucky to Ohio. I am an elderly woman so I had to have someone help me out and these days it is hard to find a company with respectful employees. They went above and beyond to help me out an they were perfect gentleman. All my property was moved undamaged and nothing missing. I would say over all I am very satisfied. They helped me every step of the way
Our move went perfectly , excellent support from start to finish. They showed up on time , did a competent job packing, loading under adverse weather conditions, and delivering when scheduled. I cannot say enough about our loading and unloading crews . All were hardworking, professional, friendly and efficient.They worked very hard to get everything done in a timely manner.I cannot think of a thing that could have gone better. Would highly recommend Zip to Zip
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! These guys moved my house, with a LOT of my valuable things across the country, stored them for a month, and got everything to my new place safe and sound. I only met the delivery crew, since my brother was there on moving day, while I was already in California. The guys I met were professional and quick, and my brother said they hardly rested a minute on the pick-up. Out of the many moving companies I used Zip to Zip , these guys are my favorite, both easy to talk to on the phone, and get the job done right on moving day
This is called impeccable service! Recently I moved from Tennessee to Indiana and struggled to find out a real professional company that could relocate our belongings in timely manner and without any hassle. Fortunately I was able to manage Zip to Zip through one of my buddies. I can't say more about their efficiency. They are master in moving and are an honest company to work with. The crews emphasize equally in every sector. They revealed me every step clearly, no secrecy. They took great care of my stuffs throughout the move. I am very pleased on them and recommend them for their excellent work.
My whole life seemed like a series of misfortunes. I missed home so badly but never could go back. But then all of a sudden I was posted back to my hometown. The people who helped me move were from Zip to zip moving services. They took great care of each and every piece of my furniture. The furniture was bought with hard earned money and it was nice to see people showing them respect. These guys are pure pros. I am so glad to be back in home now.
The people that I talked with and worked with directly were polite and seemed sincere. The person who gave me the estimate on my move was apparently fired (according to the truck driver) because he was underestimating moving costs. As it turned out my move ended up being doubled the original price which was quite a shock to me. I feel like I was being scammed.
The drivers who packed and loaded my furniture requested a gratuity of 10% which they said was supported by the company adding they were under paid and this ensured safe handling of my furniture and belongings. I felt this was Outrageous on top of being charged double for my move!!
Everything I personally packed arrived with very dented boxes; however some the big pieces of furniture wrapped by the movers came damaged. My leather chair had one leg totally broken off from the base and the matching leather ottoman also had one leg completely broken off. The driver explained it was because the men who packed my furniture didn't wrap them correctly. My Beauty Rest Black label queen size mattress was totally ruined; apparently they stood it straight up vertically and loaded heavy boxes or items on top of it and as a result it crushed the mattress springs. No explanation as to why they loaded things on too of the mattress. My items were transferred from one truck to another and apparently that is when my things were damaged?
Obviously receiving my furniture damaged and charged double for the move is making me unhappy with this moving company.
I'm waiting for a response from the moving company.
While most moving companies only want to make some profit before the company disappears from the yellow pages, Zip to zip moving services is one of the very few companies who care more about their customers than their balance sheet! Their quote was unbeatable, the movers were hard working and the move went absolutely perfectly. The foreman directed his men so well and they carried my big furniture so efficiently. I asked the crew to be extra careful with my breakables and they were just that. Even the final fill was fair. I am just blown away by this company since I have never had this good of a moving experience.

And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, and saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour (Matthew 8:5-13).

Latest Review: "The History of Silence" by Pedro Zarraluki
The latest addition to our Reviews section is by P. T. Smith on The History of Silence by Pedro Zarraluki, translated by Nick Caistor and Lorenza Garcia, and published by Hispabooks Publishing.
Here's the beginning of Patrick's review:
Pedro Zarraluki's The History of Silence (trans. Nick Caistor and Lorenza García) begins with the narrator and his wife, Irene, setting out to write a book about silence, itself called The History of Silence: "This is the story of how a book that should have been called The History of Silence never came to be written. Although common, failure is not easy to explain." I prepared for a self-aware, post-modern, and concept-heavy work. While Zarraluki never abandons his exploration of silence, I couldn't have been more wrong. The narrator and Irene dive into the philosophies of silence, into religious ideas, into odd experiments with it, but this is a novel about relationships, about complicated, emotional, thoughtful, sexual people. Zarraluki creates whole, original characters in the brush of a couple sentences, builds their relationships with the others, and then plays out all the shades of those human interactions. It's in the midst of that, of what people say and don't say to each other, in the way things are said and the silence behind words, that the history of silence is uncovered.
When the pair are focused on their work of silence, they experiment and run tests—they try to not speak to each other for a week; Irene collects photos of loud events and posts them all over the apartment, till it drives their housekeeper to panic at the intensity of them. They push the boundaries of silence as they and their friends push the boundaries of relationships. The History of Silence begins in the intimacy of a single couple, moves to the intimacy that couple shares with their group of friends, and from there to the individual lines between each and every one in the group. It isn't elaborate, it isn't a complicated step-by-step move around the group, but a work of finesse.
Go here for the rest of the review.

Recruiter Followup
Anita Pagin recently joined us on the Embedded podcast and we saw hiring from a recruiter's point of view. It was eye-opening, even for those of us who have been in the industry for awhile.
One of the things Anita suggested was building a portfolio in addition to a resume. I've never been sure what that looks like, so I asked for examples. Anita sent a few over. They come in many form factors. I'm amused by the paper brochure. Here are some websites that Anita recommended:
Of course, a portfolio is secondary to the good-old resume (or CV). Anita suggested Looking at some sample resumes (that link is for software engineers, there are many other categories to choose from).
I have my Logical Elegance website, my LinkedIn profile, my part of this blog and weekly show, and a github page that occasionally sees progress on my projects. But I don't tie it all up in a bundle as Anita suggests. I wonder if an Elecia-at-a-glance page would be a good use of my time. And I wonder if it would still be current in a month.
Do you have a portfolio? Please link to it in the comments.

When her husband suddenly dumps her, longtime dedicated housewife Deanna (McCarthy) turns regret into re-set by going back to college…landing in the same class and school as her daughter, who's not entirely sold on the idea.

An Age-Old Question
Searching for more meaning in our lives has been an age-old preoccupation for us humans. Why am I here? What am I meant to do? What's the point of it all? And, most importantly in the modern-day world, what is it that will make me happy?
Dissatisfaction, or "Gimme More!"
It is human nature that when we feel dissatisfied with something – be it our jobs, our homes, our relationships, or even our lives in general – we feel there is something missing. And where there's something missing, we naturally decide that we want MORE of something.
The Evolution of "More"
In her book, "Now What? 90 Days to a New Life Direction", Laura Berman Fortgang makes an interesting observation. She has noticed that the nature of the "more" has changed over the past few decades. In the late 80's and early 90's, people were interested in having more things in their outer experience – more money, more status. We thought that the key to happiness lay in our outer experience, in the external, tangible world.
In the mid- to late- 90's, the sought-after "more" was time, that fleeting intangible. We wanted more time so that we could do more, spend more time with our families, have more fun. We were still focusing on an external experience, though now an intangible one. "Work-life balance" became the catchphrase, with people frantically rushing to get more rest.
More recently, it seems that our cultural sense of "more" has once again shifted. Perhaps it is that we are beginning to realize that we may not be able to fully achieve happiness exclusively through external experiences. We are, as a group, shifting to a more core, internal, and personal definition of meaning.
So yes, despite the cliché of it, we are finally beginning to realize that we are human beings, not human havings or human doings.
Meaning, Please!
Perhaps this change was spurred on by the catastrophe of 9/11, perhaps by the changing of the millennium, or maybe it's just another cultural meme. But today, more and more people are realizing that their priorities have been a bit out of whack, that there's a huge unfulfilled potential within themselves.
And that it is this unused, unexamined, and untapped part of ourselves that is the ultimate source of our internal disquiet.
The "If Only" Game
It is a cliché to say that the answer lies within. But, as with most clichés, it also holds the seed of truth. It is common for us to blame our general sense of vague malaise (and in some cases our acute suffering) on external things. It's easy to see this if we play the "if only" game.
If only I had more money; if only I got that promotion; if only I knew what I wanted to do; if only I lost that weight; if only she'd love me; if only I hadn't married him; if only I'd had different parents…
Then I'd be happy and fulfilled.
The Keys to the Kingdom, or, "Mommy, Where Does Meaning Come From?"
But the path to true happiness really lies in that simple little word: BE. In some ways, easier said than done. The real learning starts when you become accustomed to listening to that small, still voice within, and to follow its guidance. By being yourself, and being true to your unique inner promptings, you are then able to live out your full potential, in full alignment with your true self.
That is where meaning comes from. And that is my goal – to share with you tips and tools to better connect with your inner knowing.
Wisdom Through the Ages
What I present is perhaps just a slightly simplified view of human evolution over the past several decades.
Many greater thinkers than I have also pondered these issues over the years. I'd like to share with you some of their thoughts.
Socrates: To do is to be
Plato: To be is to do
Shakespeare: To be or not to be?
Sinatra: Doo-be doo-be doo
So what's the bottom line, how can we distill the essence of this great wisdom?
Learn to listen for who you really are and, most important of all, don't forget to laugh – and to laugh at yourself!
Plant the Seeds:
Now it's your turn. Take a couple of minutes and think about these questions. You may want to write down your answers. Really. Take out a pen. Open a new file. Your inner knowing will often come out through writing.
- What is it that you've been pursuing "more" of over the years? How has this changed over time? Be specific.
- Play a round (or two, or ten) of the "if only" game. What have you blamed over the years for your sense of dissatisfaction? Think back, and be specific. At the end of each round, don't forget to chuckle a little to yourself.
- What insights into your current situation do you get from your answers to these questions?
- Try it out: set aside 5 (just five!) minutes every day to just BE. No distractions, no thoughts, no worries, no to-do lists. After a week or two, see what you got from this experience.

The first steel column has been raised at the Airbus assembly line in Mobile, and the company is seeking liaison engineers; Pensacola's airport is putting 350 acres on the table in hopes of luring aerospace companies; the Mobile Airport Authority has a new director of capital projects and improvements; a satellite and launch vehicle with Gulf Coast ties get ready for separate liftoffs this week; and Northrop Grumman's high-altitude unmanned portfolio hits the 100,000-hour milestone -- they were among the stories during the week of interest to the Gulf Coast region.
And, lest I forget, last week a group to which I belong, the Gulf Coast Reporters' League, launched its first quarterly aerospace newletter. You can get the whole quarterly or read any of the four stories by clicking here.
Now here's your week in review:
The first steel column was raised to a vertical position Thursday at the site at Brookley Aeroplex in Mobile, Ala., where Airbus is building a final assembly line. The steel support, rising 100 feet into the air, is the first of many that will form the frame for the final assembly building where the A320 family of aircraft will be assembled. That will begin in 2015, with first deliveries from the facility in 2016. Airbus says the facility will produce between 40 and 50 aircraft per year by 2018. (Post)
Meanwhile, Airbus Americas is seeking liaison engineers for the $600 million aircraft assembly line. Liaison engineers who specialize in installation, structure and systems are needed for the Mobile facility. All three positions require a minimum of 10 months training abroad. All three positions require a minimum of a bachelor's degree in engineering with a focus on aerospace, electrical, mechanical or aircraft construction. (Post)
Speaking of workers, the expansion of the aerospace industry across the Gulf Coast is creating demand for skilled production workers, and local business and educational leaders say the future has
never been brighter for students interested in aviation careers. Kyle Cook, director of Mobile's Alabama Aviation Center at Brookley, says he tells his incoming students aviation isn't just a job, it's a profession, and that it can take them above a lot of other professions, including some that might surprise them. (Post)
Pensacola International Airport has 350 acres it wants to market to the aerospace community. The airport is the second busiest one in the region, and considering that Airbus is building an assembly line 60 miles away, Airport Director Greg Donovan thinks the timing is right. The Pensacola City Council has approved the land use plan. (Post)
-- Russell L. Stallings has joined the Mobile Airport Authority as director of capital projects and improvements. Stallings brings three decades of construction industry experience to the position. Among other things, he'll coordinate the Airbus construction project and oversee other projects at the Brookley Aeroplex. (Post)
Two launches during the week have a Gulf Coast connection.
The third Advanced Extremely High Frequency satellite built by Lockheed Martin is now encapsulated in its payload fairing. It will lift off Sept. 18 atop an Atlas V from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla.
The AEHF strategic and tactical satellite communications system works with its predecessor, Milstar, for global coverage. Lockheed Martin will deliver six AEHF satellites and the Mission Control Segment. AEHF-1 and AEHF-2 are both in orbit and AEHF-4 is progressing. Work on the AEHF core propulsion system is done at Stennis Space Center, Miss. (Post) For a background story on the AEHF and other satellite work done in the Gulf Coast region, see pages 4 and 5 of the July 2009 issue of the Alliance Insight.
-- NASA will provide live coverage of the Sept. 17 launch of Orbital Science Corp.'s cargo resupply demonstration mission to the International Space Station. Orbital is the second commercial company to send a mission to the ISS. Space X was the first.
Orbital's Cygnus cargo carrier will be launched aboard Orbital's Antares rocket from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility. Cygnus will deliver about 1,300 pounds of cargo to the Expedition 37 crew aboard the space station. Rendezvous with the space station is scheduled for Sept. 22. Antares' first-stage is powered by twin AJ26 engines tested at Stennis Space Center, Miss. (Post)
-- Need a massive rocket engine tested without disturbing the neighbors? How about a 7,000-pound part, or miles of piping? NASA's Stennis Space Center, Miss., is doing all that to prepare for the next big project – testing the RS-25 engines that will power the core stage of NASA's next generation Space Launch System. (Post)
Northrop Grumman's portfolio of high-altitude long-endurance unmanned aircraft systems have achieved 100,000 flight hours, more than 88 percent of which were logged by the U.S. Air Force Global Hawk. The remaining hours were flown by the NASA Global Hawks, the German Euro Hawk and the U.S. Navy's Broad Area Maritime Surveillance Demonstrator and, more recently, Triton. (Post)
-- Retired F-16 Fighting Falcons are getting a new lease on life that will let them go out with a bang. About 200 of the planes are being converted into full scale, pilotless aerial targets. They'll help the military gauge the effectiveness of new weapons and perfect the skills of military aviators. And while drones may seem like the newest of the new in some areas, for Tyndall Air Force Base they're old hat. (Post)
-- If you follow aerospace news, you've probably seen the stories recently about NASA using Global Hawks to check out hurricanes. That's of interest here because, first of all, we're concerned about hurricanes. But also because Global Hawks now are built in part in Moss Point, Miss.
NASA has been using Global Hawk to spy on hurricanes for a few years now. It was first tried in the 2010 hurricane season with the Genesis and Rapid Intensification Process experiment, or GRIP. That program was publicized in the summer of 2009 in a quarterly newsletter called Alliance Insight. A tip of the hat to the forward-thinking economic development officials from South Mississippi who funded that science and technology newsletter for five years. You can see the GRIP story on pages 1 and 2 of the same publication that had the write-up on satellites. Here's the link again.
The Air Force's F-35 is moving toward major operational-training milestones that include adding the new Block 2B advanced software in November that will support an internal weapons system for the release of AIM-120C missiles and GBU-32/31 and GBU-21 bombs.
Block 2B is a big milestone for Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., the center for F-35 training. Once software-system training begins, pilots will add three more sorties to the syllabus along with academic sessions and flight-simulator time.
Also, the Air Force is expecting to stand a new F-35 training squadron in Arizona this fall. The 61st Fighter Squadron is expecting to start flying operations by mid-2014. Luke Air Force Base is expecting 144 jets to eventually be assigned to the new training center. (Story)
Lockheed Martin got two contracts related to the F-35 program. Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Co., Fort Worth, Texas, was awarded a $149 million modification to a previously awarded advance acquisition contract for the redesign and qualification of replacement F-35 Electronic Warfare system components. One percent of the work will be done in Crestview. Other work performance sites are in Orlando, Fla., New Hampshire, Texas, and South Carolina. Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., is home of the F-35 training center. … Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Co. was also awarded a $75.7 million modification to the previously awarded F-35 Low Rate Initial Production Lot VI Advance Acquisition contract. Work will be performed in California, Texas, Florida, Maryland, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, and the United Kingdom. … Northrop Grumman Corp., Aerospace Systems Sector, San Diego, Calif., was awarded a $169.9 million modification on a contract action for contract logistics support for the RQ-4 Global Hawk. Global Hawks are built in part in Moss Point, Miss.
Destroyer: Work has begun on the Navy's next Aegis guided missile destroyer,
Ralph Johnson (DDG 114), the 30th Arleigh Burke Class destroyer built by Ingalls
Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, Miss. (Post)
Settlement: Huntington Ingalls Industries agreed to release an insurance claim against FM Global in exchange for a cash payment of $180 million. The claims were related to losses and damages as a result of Hurricane Katrina, which hit the company's shipyards in Pascagoula and Avondale, La., on Aug. 29, 2005. (Post)

A Thermostat that Saves you Money
Today we're proud to present this article from our guest poster, Jillian Dohack, who is a short-sale home specialist at a local title company in Fort Myers. ~Larry.
My husband and I recently bought a new home and during that process we spent way too much time at Lowes. During one of our many trips we came across this amazing product, called the Nest. Now, we can't imagine our home without it.
The Nest Learning Thermostat
This product looks like something from the future! This thermostat is not an ordinary thermostat, it is a learning thermostat. It solves problems through a battery of sensors and algorithms. It can figure out when you're home and when you're not, and based on your adjustments, it can build a model of temperatures to your liking.
It uses all this information to create a temperature schedule that's personalized to your lifestyle, one that keeps you comfortable while saving energy. Considering that thermostats control half of a typical home's energy bill, the Nest promises to be more than a great product. If thermostats like it took off, it could significantly cut down on our nation's energy use.
We have found so much value in this product that we love to share our experience with everyone who owns a home and likes cost savings. It is the perfect thermostat for snow birds or anyone who travels or rents their home.
As mentioned above, the primary advantages over other thermostats is its ability to analyze your behavior and then form an energy saving schedule to control your HVAC.
But what I find even more valuable especially for snow birds or travelers is having the ability to check the temperature in your home while you are away. For example, if you have been away for 6 months and you are returning, you can turn your air to your desired temperature prior to arriving so you can be comfortable upon your arrival.
I also appreciate the peace of mind that comes with knowing if my air conditioner breaks, I'll be notified instantly and avoid many possible issues.
Here is a list of some of the features:
Estimates time for desired comfort level
While it's actively heating or cooling, Nest displays an estimated time for the system to reach the desired temperature.
Optimum energy saving features
Nest displays a green leaf any time the thermostat is running at energy-saving settings. This can teach you to make energy-saving decisions.
For example, if Nest has learned that you typically run your AC until the house is 74ºF (23.3ºC), you could turn up the temperature until you see the green leaf, perhaps at 76ºF (24.4ºC), to save energy. The leaf will always appear at cooling settings of 84ºF (28.9ºC) or higher and heating settings of 62ºF (16.7ºC) or lower.
Display of energy saving activities
Nest lets you know what activity (between Auto-Away, your own adjustments and the weather) resulted in the greatest energy savings throughout the day.
Connects to your wireless network
Nest uses WiFi to connect to your Nest account at nest.com. This feature allows you to monitor and adjust the Nest remotely from the Web site.
Remote access from your smart phone
Nest supports a mobile app available for Apple iOS devices (iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad) and Android devices. The app turns your mobile device into a remote control for your Nest.
Build a Nest network
You can add Nest to any number of thermostats in a multi-thermostat building. They will work alongside other thermostats, but note that each of Nest's energy-saving features only apply to the rooms in its sensor range and to the HVAC components it controls.
If you are anything like me you love to be aware of any new products on the market for your home, especially ones that provide peace of mind and cost savings.
You can find more information at their website or call UMI Residential Air Conditioning, a NEST certified installer in Southwest Florida, at (239) 939-2032.
If you're not in Southwest Florida, you can visit certified.nest.com and search for a link that says Installer Finder. Then enter your zip code and it will show you a list of certified installers in your area that looks like this:

text: So continuing on with a few things I'd like to emphasize before my departure … I'm calling these the Pelonius Sermons, after Shakespeare's character in "Hamlet", who rather longwindedly advised his son who was leaving for school how to conduct himself when away from home – the father's parting advice. Today we touch on some important matters concerning Sundays and Mass Attendance. Sundays are to commemorate our relationship with God, His worthiness of our honor and homage, the fittingness of our giving Him honor, the pleasure with which He receives it, the reward that He gives those who rightly honor Him. At the center of this, of course, is the Mass, the unbloody representation of Calvary. But what does the Third Commandment then forbid and enjoin? The Third Commandment forbids servile work on the Sabbath. The Third Commandment and the first precept of the church also require that we attend Mass on Sunday, and this is binding on all who have achieved the use of reason and are not excused for some legitimate reason (sickness, travel, weather, etc.). The precept of the church implies that one is to hear Mass in its entirety from the Prayers at the Foot of the Altar until the Last Blessing.

wacca handcream
Outstanding in Form | BEAUTY & COSMETICS
"wacca" is a "Japanese essential oil" brand. We use ingredients that are carefully made at a small scale and use scents that are representative of Japan; such as "cypress" and "yuzu" and have a selection of ten essential oils.
The logo is in the form of a circle. From the motif of "mizuhiki", ribbons that have been used for celebrations since the olden times, it is combined with the brand name "wacca (hoop)". The letters are similarly designed with the "hoop"; the letters "a" and "c" in circular forms.
As for the labels and paper used for the packaging, Japanese washi paper and other papers with similar textures are used, with the logo stamped in gold foil. The green for the aroma oil bottle imagines plants, and the silver used for the hand creams imagines the cleanliness that can be felt from the insecticidal ingredients in the essential oil. These elements are arranged on the packaging with reference to the practice of "minimalism" in the spaces and tools used at Japanese shrines, and completed a package that visually and tactually communicates the scents, charm, and effectiveness of Japan to the user."

Summer is a library's time to shine — and thanks to your donations, more children are finding their love for reading during the summer months. Programs like Summer Reading help prevent the dreaded "Summer Slide." Many children, especially struggling readers, lose what they learned during the year when school's out. And by 5th grade, that annual loss in skills means they can be years behind their peers.
But Summer Reading at our libraries changes all that. From reading challenges to fun and educational events, librarian visits to local schools, outreach in parks and community centers, and programs for teens and adults — KCLS is the place to be between June and August. And with the Summer Meals program we are feeding young minds and growing bodies!
EXPLORE Summer Reading
Read more about Summer Reading on the KCLS website.
View a report of the results from this year's Summer Reading program.
Raising A Reader
Raising A Reader is a national take-home book program that promotes the shared reading experience, parent-child bonding, regular library usage, and development of early literacy skills.
This year, KCLS partnered with the YMCA and Southwest Youth and Family Services to reach 173 low-income families, promoting book sharing routines between parents and children to develop early literacy skills.
Global Reading Challenge
Global Reading Challenge is a Battle of the Books competition for 4th and 5th graders. Each team reads six books selected by KCLS Children's Librarians, working together to answer questions based on the books.
The teams work their way through multiple rounds of competition. This year, a total of 8,200 students participated, forming 361 teams from 66 schools. Although competitive, the Global Reading Challenge is all about having fun with reading!
Fiestas and DÍA Celebrations
Fiestas (Early Literacy Parties) is a KCLS initiative with a long history of success addressing gaps in educational equity for our Spanish-speaking neighbors, preparing children 0-5 for Kindergarten.
DÍA is National Children's Book Day! KCLS joins other library systems nationwide for an annual celebration of multiculturalism, reading, and families.
Literacy Towards Citizenship
To help those preparing for the US Naturalization Test, KCLS offers the popular Literacy Towards Citizenship class. This weekly course is staffed by dedicated volunteers who offer free test preparation help, access to study materials, and a welcome face for our newest neighbors.
Plazas Comunitarias
Plazas Comunitarias helps Spanish-speaking adult learners earn their primary and secondary education certificates from the Mexican Consulate, helping them achieve the next step in their career. Last year Plazas celebrated 14 graduates.
StartUp 425
Startup 425 Foundations is a series of workshops for new and prospective entrepreneurs. It brings together innovators, business advisors, and entrepreneurs for a broad overview of the startup process. KCLS has partnered with Startup 425 and SCORE to bring the Foundations series to five Eastside libraries, held weekly in the evenings.
Older Adults
To encourage lifelong learning, the KCLS Foundation is sponsoring programs for older audiences ranging from practical to thought-provoking to just plain fun. Wisdom Cafés, a conversation group for older adults, encourages the sharing of life experiences. The Arts and Tech Fest gives adults and seniors the opportunity to experiment with the arts and technology in a fun, low-stress atmosphere. And caregivers are receiving resources to connect and de-stress.

The World's largest volcano is Mauna Loa in Hawaii formed over many thousands of years through successive lava flows. It is a massive 17,000 metres when measured from base to top and so heavy that it has bent the sea floor by several kilometres into the earth's mantle.
Since 1843 Mauna Loa has erupted 33 times, its last eruption was in 1984 making it one of the Earth's most active volcanoes. Recently it has been showing increasing sign of further volcanic activity and may be ready to erupt in the not to distant future.
If you are interested in volcanoes why not experiment with our Volcano in a Box part no. 421EN-0202400
Or for the fun at heart our Pocket Volcano part no. 421GG-02753NM
Add red food colouring to experience a ghastly lava flow or use it with a bath bomb in the while bathing and simulate an underwater volcano.

Do you have what it takes to multitask without committing any error? Test your attentiveness and multitasking skills in the game Traffic Control 2. As you can infer from the title, you will be controlling traffic flow. This game is a multi-crossroads traffic system of a city. Each crossroads has a traffic light. Your job is to let traffic flow smoothly without the vehicles crashing to each other. Simply click on the junction to change the traffic lights.
You must let pass as many vehicles as possible in every intersection. And if you want to go on with the game, you must not let more than four vehicles queue outside the city. The number of cars queuing can be seen in the queue score box. There are three types of vehicles: basic car, sports car and truck. These three types of vehicles have different speed.

BEIJING — Beijing airport's new Terminal 3 — twice the size of the Pentagon — is the largest building in the world.
Adorned with the colors of imperial China and a roof that evokes the scales of a dragon, the massive glass- and steel-sheathed structure, designed by the renowned British architect Norman Foster, cost $3.8 billion and can handle more than 50 million passengers a year. The developers call it the "most advanced airport building in the world," and say it was completed in less than four years, a timetable some believed impossible.
It opened in late February with little fanfare, but also without the kind of glitches that plagued the new $8.7 billion terminal at Heathrow in London, a project that took six years to complete.
This is the image China would like to project as it hosts the Olympic Games this summer — a confident rising power constructing dazzling monuments exemplifying its rapid progress and its audacious ambition.
While much of the world has focused on protests trailing the Olympic torch, China's poor human rights record, its pollution, product safety and child labor scandals, workers here have been putting the finishing touches on one of the biggest building programs the world has ever seen.Continue reading the main story
Beijing hopes to overcome these negatives, and the dark sides of its roaring economy, by emphasizing its ability to upgrade and modernize, at least when it comes to buildings and infrastructure projects. The main Olympic stadium, nicknamed the Bird's Nest, is already widely admired for its striking appearance and its use of an unusual steel mesh exterior. The nearby National Aquatics Center, known as the Water Cube, is a translucent blue bubble that glows in the dark.
And east of the main Olympic arenas, construction is winding down on the new headquarters of the country's main state television network, China Central Television, or CCTV.
That $700 million building, designed by Rem Koolhaas, consists of two interlocking Z-shaped towers that rise 767 feet and may be the world's largest and most expensive media headquarters.
New York has the Chrysler Building, Grand Central and the Guggenheim Museum; Paris has the Louvre and the Pompidou Center; now Beijing is determined to build its own architectural icons.
"Beijing is a huge experimental site right now," says Zhu Wenyi, dean of the school of architecture at Tsinghua University. "This modern architecture is the identity of modern China."
But sometimes the sheer scale of the buildings overwhelms everything else. Thirty years after economic reforms began, this country has built a series of super structures that almost seem intended more for the Guinness Book of World Records than cityscapes.
China is home, for instance, to the world's largest shopping mall (the seven-million-square-foot South China Mall); the longest sea-crossing bridge (it stretches 36 kilometers, or about 22 miles, over part of the East China Sea); the largest hydroelectric dam (the Three Gorges project); and the highest railway (an engineering marvel that crosses the Tibetan permafrost 16,000 feet above sea level, the so-called roof of the world).
Late last year, Beijing opened what may be the world's largest performance hall, the National Center for the Performing Arts, a $400 million concert hall, opera house and theater center even bigger than the Kennedy Center in Washington. Nicknamed The Egg, the Chinese center's titanium dome rises above a wide reflecting pool.
For decades, the ruling Communist Party used huge building programs to lure foreign investment and to create millions of jobs. But this new wave is different.
"This is just the start," said Ma Yansong, a 32-year-old architect who studied in the United States and runs a practice here. "The last 10 years we've had landmark buildings in Beijing and Shanghai. But now, the private developers are coming in, and second-tier cities want to develop."
In recent weeks, many Chinese have complained about what they say is Western media distortions about China and its role in Tibet, where riots broke out last month.
Indeed, behind the increasingly nationalistic counterprotests is a fear that China's Olympic moment is being overshadowed by critics and that the country's remarkable achievements are being ignored.
Many Chinese say that will change on Aug. 8, 2008 — an auspicious date by traditional reckoning because 8 is a lucky number — as the world focuses on the Olympics and China's undeniable accomplishments.
In Beijing, officials have used the Olympics to justify razing old neighborhoods and relocating tens of thousands of poor residents, with hopes of remaking the city into a modern capital of new highways, subway lines and gleaming skyscrapers.
Similarly, city officials in Shanghai have relocated huge factories and thousands of residents along the Huangpu River to prepare a two-square-mile site for the 2010 World Expo, Shanghai's own coming-out.
With China rapidly urbanizing, there are now dozens of other big cities developing master plans and commissioning new skyscrapers, expressways and whole shopping districts.
In Macao, one of China's special administrative zones, the Las Vegas-based Sands Corporation built a 10.5-million-square-foot casino, hotel and convention center, which opened last summer to huge crowds.
Not everyone, however, is pleased with the development transforming China's cities. Old neighborhoods and important historical buildings are being demolished. Expressways and skyscrapers have erased cultural signposts. Even some leading Chinese architects and urban planners are crying foul. And all this growth depends largely on energy derived from coal, which fouls the air, distracting from China's gleaming new palaces.
Others complain that too many foreign architects are being showcased, at the expense of China's home-grown talent, that Chinese elements are being lost — like Beijing's old courtyard-style homes — and that overaggressive development is littering the landscape with modern monstrosities.
"I'm completely against this big architecture; it's a total waste," says Yin Zhi, president of the urban planning and design institute at Tsinghua University. "The government wants to grab the Olympic opportunity to remake Beijing, spending so much money on these stupid projects. Why not use the budget to improve Beijing's traffic system? Why not improve the quality of people's lives?"
Professor Yin went on: "China, as a developing country, is not supposed to spend so much on these eye-catching projects. It shows in some ways that China lacks confidence."
But Beijing seems eager to show the world it can attract world-class architects to China, and it has lured big names, including Zaha Hadid, a distinguished architect from London.
Local developers are rushing to capitalize on this moment of extreme transformation. A rising middle class and the emergence of a car culture in China are creating opportunities to build new cities and suburbs, and many cities want to prove they are fast-developing, hoping to lure even more investment.
With the economy booming, air travel has also skyrocketed, creating demand for new airports. Indeed, even after a building boom over the past decade, the government says it plans to build another 97 new airports by 2020.
Here in Beijing, the construction of Terminal 3 was accelerated to meet the surge in air travel into the capital, and to create a dazzling new gateway to the city in time for the Olympics.
Foster & Partners, the British architectural firm, won the design competition less than five years ago, in late 2003. The firm quickly set up an office here and in March 2004 began work on a 14-million-square-foot project that would eventually dwarf all five of Heathrow's terminals combined.
The developers wanted to incorporate Chinese characteristics, so they sought the advice of a feng shui master. They selected red and gold as the dominant colors, to match those of old palaces and the Forbidden City.
Then they raced the clock.
"In November 2003, we were awarded the contract," says Mouzhan Majidi, the lead architect on the project for Foster & Partners. "Within a week, we had to have a Foster office in Beijing."
Siemens, the German company, built a sophisticated baggage handling system that can sort and transport 19,200 pieces of luggage an hour through the nearly two-mile-long building. Workers lifted and placed a giant roof designed to look like the scales of a dragon.
The building opened ahead of schedule, largely because Beijing had turned the site into a 24-hour-a-day operation, with tens of thousands of workers living on the airport grounds. It is the kind of operation that can be found only in China.
Beijing supplied an army of workers. "When I think back to our site visits with Norman, it was an incredible scene to see 50,000 people working on a building," says Mr. Majidi, who works closely with Norman Foster, the Pritzker Prize-winning architect. "It evoked what it might have been like to build the pyramids."
Still, it may not be big enough.
In January, Beijing's civil aviation authority announced that yet another international airport was needed in the city. Construction is expected to begin soon.Continue reading the main story

Want to see your face on a dollar bill? or Chinese yuan? or Norwegian kroner? Festisite Money makes it easy. I thought chainmail (from a Magic Thief program) was a good accompaniment to Norwegian money. This is the kind of easy-to-learn tool Kids Tech Club loves playing with if they arrive early.
Kids are more familar with silent films from The Invention of Hugo Cabret and the recent movie version, Hugo, and the Artist, but thanks to Hugo the Artistifier, which turns YouTube clips into silent films, should catch their interest as well. (via Joyce Valenza)
We had a lot of fun with JellyCam and Legos the last two weeks. It is slick and easy, especially if you create pictures with a webcam. Uploading the animation to YouTube is also easy. You can also insert photos you've taken although this didn't always work as smoothly.
Stop Frame Animator was another big hit. Examples of their work: Dance Don't Prance and Aliens are REAL!

Hyde Park Counseling Center
Fall 2011
Student: Sociology Junior
Position: Counseling Center Intern
In the fall of 2011 I was an Intern at Hyde Park Counseling Center. Hyde Park Counseling Center is a center with three licensed professional counselors, a licensed psychologist, and two licensed professional counselor interns. The heart of the center is to offer biblically based solutions to problems in a caring, confidential, professional setting and to equip laypersons with skills to minister to others. They also offer specialized counseling services, psychological assessments, and consulting services. They made my hours flexible with my school schedule, I worked long days on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12-6:30, but this really allowed me to grasp the daily life of a counselor.
I had a sufficient amount of responsibilities that include greeting clients, checking them in for session, processing payments. Answering phones, scheduling appointments, preparing charts for appointments, and reminder calls for appointments. Later in the semester and with training I was able to take intake calls, placing potential clients with specific counselors. I attended weekly staff meetings with the clinical team to discuss upcoming events, continuing professional development, team building and staffing. Also, I had the opportunity to meet with the Director of the center, Dr. Nicole Fitzpatrick, on a bi-weekly basis for one hour for supervision and mentoring. Toward the middle of the semester we had the annual conferences where I assisted with much preparation, event planning, processing registration payments, preparing registration packets, mailing brochures, and calling contacts to keep them updated on event. I attended the wonderful conference helping with the sound and power point presentations. The last couple weeks after the big event, I worked on and tweaked the Resource Manual to identify resources in the community to help our clients and those who call in to ask for resources- physical, emotional, and spiritual. Also, I tweaked and updated our marketing packet that we send out to churches to see if they would like our message to be brought to them.
I would highly recommend this internship if you are interested in any type of counseling. Hyde Park Counseling Center is so willing and generous to their interns, they want to teach you and equip you for what you would like to do for the future. They will challenge you with different but necessary jobs and they are such an inviting bunch welcoming you on the team.

Today's Annals of Internal medicine has the head of Harvard's nutrition department, Dr. Walter Willet, stating that we can no longer dismiss very low-carbohydrate diets. Two weeks ago I was in Arizona for 10 days and had a chance to visit some fast food restaurants. I have written about the low-carb offerings in the newsletter before but it was quite another to actually experience them. I realized that after nearly 10 years of promoting low carb it has finally been accepted as an unequivocal cultural reality. We have a long way to go before the culture wakes up to other basic nutritional truths, but this is a major step in the right direction. I have about 60 years left to facilitate the transformation to the new health paradigm and at this rate it is more than a reasonable goal. David versus Goliath for sure, but Goliath was eventually killed.

Odor-Free Adhesives for On-Site Replacement of Laminate and PVC Banding
Forum Responses
From contributor D:
I use the canisters of contact made by Imperial Adhesives on site. There is no odor - it's barely noticeable if you're spraying in a confined area. It flashes off in less than a minute. I use it in hospitals, schools and offices and never had a complaint about the smell or headaches. It's the only solvent contact officially approved for use in our local hospital, which is a scent free workplace.
From the original questioner:
Which of their contact cement products are you referring to?
From contributor D:
The canister I have doesn't have a product number on it. It has methylene chloride listed on the label and flashes of in less than a minute, so I would say it's the Permagrip 107. I buy from McFaddans, but they don't have any info on their site.
From contributor A:
I've just done a large optometrist's office relaminating their cabinets and countertops with plastic laminate. I can offer three pieces of advice which made the job much easier for me.
1) Pre-rip your laminate to width in the shop, unless you have a tried-and-true system for doing this on site.
2) Spray contact cement on the back of your PVC in at least 8' strips by sticking a number of pieces edge to edge backside up on a board. I use contact cement which stays tacky for days, so I can even do this in the shop before going to the job.
3) Use a large guillotine paper shear to end cut your plastic (I use a 36" one). You get perfect cuts without chipping.

I grew up in Minnesota but have since lived in several parts of the U.S., as well as in France, Finland, and Germany. I obtained my undergraduate degrees in French and biology from Smith College in Massachusetts. I then graduated from the University of Minnesota Medical School and completed my residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Duke University Medical Center. I came to Hawaii because I wanted to experience its unique culture and lifestyle.
My initial career plan was to become a medical researcher; however, while I was in college, I discovered that I thrived on personal interaction and making a more immediate difference in people's lives. I realized that clinical medicine would allow me to combine my love of science and concern for others. The practice of obstetrics and gynecology was appealing to me because it involves both surgery and primary care. I especially enjoy taking care of patients over the course of their lives. And, it should be no surprise that I love delivering babies! I'm a fellow of the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. To keep up with current medical research, I read medical journals and online materials, attend conferences, participate in continuing medical education programs, and consult with colleagues. The values of the Hawaii Permanente Medical Group match my own as a physician. I strive to provide the best medical care possible with compassion and concern for every patient. My philosophy of care is to include my patients in the decision-making process to ensure what's best for them as individuals. I love taking care of first-time moms as well as experienced moms. Being a part of such an exciting and special time in their lives means a lot to me. When my patients repeat what I said to them during earlier pregnancies, I'm gratified to know that they're really listening to the things I tell them.
I stay fit by practicing yoga and swimming. Taking time to explore new places gives me a clearer perspective on my own world. My life's pleasures include reading, diving, cooking, trying new foods and restaurants, walking my dog, and planning my next trip.

I keep seeing guys asking the same question on Basenotes forum regarding Byredo's Pulp:
"I am not gay, but can I wear Byredo's Pulp? Because I really like it… will people think that I am wearing a woman's perfume?"
Well, let's reword the question so that people can have a better context of what's going on.
"If I open a can of Del Monte fruit cocktail, pour it all over my body, will I get eaten by a woman or a man?"
Well, both men and women eat fruit cocktail cups, although not everyone loves them. So, it's totally your call to mingle with the right group of lovers. I hope it's a satisfying answer.
I remember reading a review on Pulp and the reviewer says the fruit in pulp (figs, apples, black currants) is so intense that it almost smells rotten like garbage. I definitely do not think so, but I guess the spices, particularly the caramel in it make it over the top fruity and juicy, nevertheless, that review is forever etched in my head. One day I was at a Byredo counter and saw two women giggling and admiring Pulp; being nosy, I casually said, "some people think that it smells like garbage." Both of them turned their heads in synchronization and shot lasers out of their eyes and yelled, "No!!! It's wonderful!!!"
