One Story Up is moving to True/Slant
2009-11-04 21:10:00 Photo by AmaretteJust wanted to let you know that starting today, I'll be making the transition over to a new site. I'm moving One Story Up from ChicagoNow to True/Slant, another blog site with more of a news focus. Same stories, same person, same everything - just a new address.

Are You Moving Out
2009-10-19 17:54:00 During 26 years of my color service I have moved 14 times (no exaggeration). Frequently moving from one station to another has made me expert in breaking house and my wife in setting it up again and lamenting at the losses; broken crockery, scratched furniture and worst still items gone missing during transit. This is a ?gigantic? task to say the least.During my moves, I never knew what is available on MoveOut.com. While going through the How to Pack Tips, I wished I have known the service earlier. It says, ?With a little care and planning, you and your stuff will both arrive in mint condition. Most damage comes from vibration. Think of a stack of dishes in a moving box on the bed of a bouncing truck. No matter how well the sides are padded, a firm up-and-down jolt could crack the entire stack. On the other hand, dishes packed on edge and surrounded by bubble wrap have a better chance of surviving the trip unharmed. Any type of move (house holds or commercial office and industrial) ...

Why are our sports figures moving out?
2009-10-18 18:08:00 Is it the weather? The fact that we didn't get the Olympics? Chicago's famous athletes Jim McMahon and Antonio Davis are picking up and leaving some sweet real estate to head down south, according to this Tribune article. They're giving up, and often taking losses on mansions in the suburbs to move to Florida and Georgia. Maybe cost of living down there is cheaper, or maybe there's less chance to losing property value (which I doubt). But I wonder who is moving into these mansions and if they feel like they're getting a good deal. Interestingly, they both used the same listing broker, Brush Hill Realty in Hinsdale, to sell the places. Brush Hill, incidentally, is listing properties worth 10 times...
Little Annoyances Moving Into Ubuntu
2009-09-26 05:46:00 As much as everybody complains about fast food restaurants, there are reasons why they're so successful. They're consistent. A burger at an East coast location in the restaurant chain is the same burger you could order on the West coast. They're crappy, but it's a kind of processed, homogenized, not-quite-too-bad crappy that makes it something that you'll just barely tolerate when you have to. Actually, Ubuntu has made some improvements in recent years. Now that I have a faster machine, I barely notice that this is still the slowest Linux distro around. Packages now work more often than they don't work. The color scheme still makes me think of a design I could make by throwing up after consuming a root beer float and Cheetos. Going by the cute trick of searching Firefox's page history for 'Ubuntu', which brings up everything I searched Google for the solution for, here's the many misadventures I've had so far in Ubuntuland and the solutions, or lack of, I came up with: ...
Michelin's Moving Tire Testing Machine

Martez Wilson Will Be Missed, but Zook and the Illini Are Moving On
2009-09-18 03:51:00 Martez Wilson's neck started hurting during the spring. Then, after delivering a punishing hit in the Missouri game, the pain spread down one arm and an MRI was scheduled. Still Wilson never imagined that it was anything more than a fairly common stinger.For the Illinois junior linebacker, the diagnosis of a herniated disc in his neck came as a surprise. The news that he would need surgery and would miss the entire season was surely a major blow for a player that had worked so hard to get where he was....

Moving downstairs: Phase 2
2009-08-25 22:02:00 So everything made it downstairs or down the garbage chute, after a few phone calls I'm finally getting cable and internet on Thursday, and I managed to get everything as clean as I could. All in all I went from this to this... in about 25 hours. Some things that helped me along: -Shopping cart: If you don't have one, find the biggest container you can carry or wheel to get your things from one place to another. Fewer trips= more time spent getting things unpackaged in the new place rather than moving back and forth. -Being flexible on setting up furniture: I started with one idea, but the final set-up ended up completely different- something like this ... from where...

Get Moving
2009-08-08 06:00:00 Let me start this with my personal experience. During 24 years of my color service I have thrice moved my units and my household for no less than 14 times (you have to believe this). Frequently moving from one station to another has made me expert in breaking house and my wife in setting it up again and lamenting at the losses; broken crockery, scratched furniture and worst still items gone missing during transit. This is a huge task to say the least. Moves can be best handled by experts movers.Thanks to Boston Moving Company that they handle any type of moves. Humboldt Storage and Moving understand the nature of the task and can make it stress less.An experienced moving company, Humboldt Storage and Moving can take away a lot of the stress involved but it?s not always easy to find one.

2009-08-04 00:57:00 Senator Pat RobertsMP3 for PODCAST VIDEO REAL MEDIA FORMATWASHINGTON, DC ? Senator Pat Roberts today condemned the notion of moving the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to Ft. Leavenworth, KS amid Obama Administration statements saying Ft. Leavenworth is under consideration not only to house the detainees, but also to be the site for the federal criminal trials and military commissions to prosecute terrorism suspects.The news broke yesterday that the Administration was looking for one site for the facility and that either Ft. Leavenworth or a maximum-security prison in Standish, Michigan are the two options."Today I spoke with Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Detainee PolicyPhilip Carter," Senator Roberts said.

Why are May and October the most popular moving months in Chicago?
2009-07-15 21:40:00 I guess I'm thinking about this now since I'm moving soon. I'm usually an October mover, but I have a lot of friends that are Mays. I'm moving early this year in September, but there's much less available to those looking for apartments in months other than May or October. The Encyclopedia of Chicago says that these days were selected because they were traditionally the days that servants and farmhands would change hands. Until 1911, May 1 was THE fixed moving day according to the Chicago real estate board. They elimated that rule then, but I still get frustrated driving around my tightly packed block on May 1 every year. Luckily for us, you can now find apartments available almost any time of year.

5 Things to Think About Before Moving From Part-Time Business to Home-Based
2009-04-13 14:21:00 If you've been following my blog posts, you know that I have been advocating starting a part-time online business here, here, here, and here. The reason for this is mainly so you can have another source of income that is other than your job. Now what if you've recently been feeling that your part-time online business is growing and you need to devote more time on it to fully capitalize on the opportunity. Should you quit your job and work on it full-time at home?

While some have discussed its feasibility, most pass right over it and move to something else. Thankfully, Infinity has decided to design their own diesel electric hybrid and hopefully move it into production.
Moving Services for Your Transportation
2009-03-09 13:35:00 Shifting to a new place often turns to be a nightmare. The more is the distance, the more are the worries. Finding suitable transportation services is a horrible task. If you choose a wrong shifting service, you are more likely to thrash your favorite possessions into danger. Often people go for fewer prices and by the way to find it, they end up damaging costlier things and wasting more beyond imagination. So be aware and do not just pick up any mover from the street just on the basis of lower price rates. There are some tips for you that you can always follow to select the right relocating service to settle in a new place. Prior to getting in touch with any relocating service, you should have a complete list of the things to be moved along with the list of articles not to be moved. The number of things to be moved is important to decide the company as the trucks the company possesses should be consistent with your list of articles. If the list is higher, the company may not...
Extreme Moving House Methods
2009-03-07 15:50:00 Change of place for career, business, new home or any other reason can be exciting with a new location and a new environment. Moving house often begins a fresh start in ones life. It can also mean a real house being moved to a desired place. The second option is environment-friendly and, in a way, recycles the house. However, when it comes to shifting it is also the relocating of things to the new location. Shifting of personal belongings and valuables is a real headache. It becomes a big problem unless the entire matter is carried out in a right manner. If it is done single-handedly there remains a possibility of the goods getting damaged. Getting access to easy storing solutions is a good way of solving this issue. A moving house needs to be picked up from its place of foundation and positioned in a preferred place. A house needs to be re-located if it is hindering the development of the place. For a certain sum of money a buyer gets a beautiful, often well-furnished and we...
Is Moving Cheaper With a Professional Mover
2009-03-06 14:02:00 Moving in the context of the storehouse industry is relocating to a new destination with household or office items. It involves shifting the items to the new location with or without professional help. Essentially, it involves packing the articles and transporting them to the new destination or to a paid storehouse, whichever is convenient and feasible. Though the entire process might seem to be very expensive, it might not be so in reality if the entire process is planned out properly. With or without any professional assistance shifting from one location to another can be quite an affordable and easy process. The costs involved in moving can be drastically cut down by following a few precautionary measures. The first thing is that, one should try to shift during the middle of the week. Usually many people hire vehicles on weekends as they generally shift out on weekends which usually happen to be holidays. On the weekends the transportation vehicles are in high demand. The...
