The physical education curriculum at West Point has long incorporated gymnastics into its program to produce physically fit officers who can move well on the battlefield.
Cadets have been running the Indoor Obstacle Course Test for more than 60 years as part of the Department of Physical Education's goal to build a better fit officer. Now, the hope is to add another obstacle course to give cadets an additional opportunity to use their basic movement skills learned in their military movement classes.
Fifteen cadet teams, involving seven-to-eight cadets per team, participated in the inaugural Military Movement Assault Course Brigade Open at Hayes Gymnasium Jan. 14. It was open to all cadets as part of the PE117 Military Movement - Gymnastics course, which is a military movement class.
"We're piloting some data because we're considering doing something like this as part of the curriculum," said Maj. Adam Hodges, DPE instructor and officer-in-charge of the MMACBO. "It'll probably not be graded (like the IOCT), but it would give (the cadets) a chance to apply some of the movement skills within the military movement assault course."
Cadets had to tumble, scale walls, vault, rope climb, low crawl and dodge projectiles to meet their objective in disabling the enemy, which was played by the DPE instructors.
"The objective was for the cadets to disable the defenders and scale the height up to the platform (above the course floor)," Hodges said. "We had the course set up to force them to do certain skills such as vaults, low crawling, tumbling, scaling the wall and climbing the rope."
"All those things were part of achieving the objective and we teach all those skills in military movement," he added. "We wanted to show cadets that all these skills we teach them have relevance to achieve a potentially specific mission that they might see in the real world."
The cadets had to disable the instructors within three minutes with the use of a couple of different methods. They used direct fire, which they had to hit all four instructors with direct fire (tennis balls), or use an easier method, which was to climb the rope, scale close to the top of the platform and throw a "designated" grenade onto it, which would have killed all the instructors at once.
All the cadet teams had a chance to put some form of strategy to use on the course when Hodges provided photographs, a film showing the course on YouTube and a briefing about the course.
"We called it an intelligence package like you would see in a real Army unit," Hodges explained. "We tried to make it as realistic as possible because in the real world you may not get a chance to recon what you're about to attack, but you do have intelligence lines that provides some Intel.
"Teams were a little tentative, but the teams that did succeed finished at about a minute-and-a-half to two minutes whereas the second time up (those teams) had a better grasp on it," he added. "They realized the shock and awe method was probably more effective than going in tentatively."
Of the 15 cadet teams, five teams met the objective and three teams made the finals with similar times.
In the end, the Mighty, Mighty Gamecocks were the runners-up with a time of 44 seconds and one casualty while the Halfbacks, a team amassed of rugby players, completed the course in the finals in 34 seconds with only one casualty.
"It feels pretty good to win," said Cadet Curt Vanhooser, team captain of the Halfbacks. "I gave them my plan and they executed it flawlessly. They were pretty pumped up to do this; they were motivated and got the job done."
Vanhooser's plan was for his team to travel in groups, in waves, over the wall barrier to get to the platform.
The team effort worked as they achieved the goal while taking only one casualty, but they didn't think they were going to be as successful as the Mighty, Mighty Gamecocks, who went before them in the finals.
"The Gamecocks did it in 44 seconds, so after that we talked and said everyone just go for it," Vanhooser said. "We couldn't take our time after that because that was a really good time."
Vanhooser said the team had trouble spots especially on the rope where they got bogged down a bit and used everything they learned in their PE classes such as jumping over the wall as they learned in plebe gymnastics.
Vanhooser felt the assault course was chaotic, but that it was important to, "stick to your plan and think on your feet."
The Halfbacks' team consisted of Cadets John Wagner; Tom Moentman and Vanhooser (who captained the team but had a knee injury and couldn't run the course); Dave Geib, Brian Johnson, Trevor Mitchell, Jev Valles, Kyle Palmer and Alex Farinelli.
The Halfbacks' captain said the course wasn't cardio demanding, but it took athletic skill to jump over the barriers. He said when you add the strategy aspect to the course it helps bring everything together, both physically and mentally, when it comes to real world situations as an officer.
"You have to game plan before coming in; you just can't wing it," Vanhooser said. "At first, you have a preconceived notion what's going to happen when you're running the assault course and then when you're in there it's different. You have to be quick on your feet and be able to make changes on the fly."
Hodges was the brain behind the course with the help of a couple other instructors to try to apply the military movement skills on the obstacles. He put the idea in front of Dr. Jeffrey Coelho, the PE117 course director, and he said it was a great idea and for Hodges to develop it.
"I set up a very small assault course where the cadets had to run, roll and jump, and I'm a big fan of the American Gladiators show and I felt we should try to do something like that," Hodges said. "The Master of Sword (Col. Gregory Daniels) saw it and liked it. Coelho's idea was to get some pilot data and do this as a brigade open, get some interest and see how it goes."
The event could become more of a semi-annual or quarterly occurrence depending on how the after action review looks positively on the event. Like the IOCT, the Military Movement Assault Course has an importance to the use of skills that will be seen in combat as Hodges' used while deployed in Iraq.
"A lot of cadets ask us, 'what is the relevance'' and some of this course is to show them there is relevance to what we make them do, but a lot of things we make them do is also to have them overcome fear, the fear of heights and fear of inversion." Hodges said. "A lot of cadets have poor motor awareness when they are upside down and lose all senses ... they will be upside down at some point during their Army career. They're going to be flipped over and they need to be able to land on their feet without hurting themselves."
It wasn't all smooth sailing as it was hard for Hodges to communicate to the floor instructors on who was eliminated from the event when the tennis balls were flying fast and furious, but feels it's something that can be corrected and doesn't take away from the overall success of the assault course.
"I was pleased overall," Hodges said. "I think everyone had fun with it and it met the objective of applying the skills we teach in a simulated real environment by putting stress on them and having some fun with it."

This move followed some buying interest the prior day that came in right near its 200-day moving average of 99 cents. Shares of CUR are now pushing within range of triggering a major breakout trade. That trade will hit once CUR manages to clear some near-term overhead resistance levels at $1.38 to $1.55 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in CUR as long as it's trending above some near-term support at $1.20, and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 1.2 million shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then look for CUR to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance level at $1.96 to $2.03. Any high-volume move above those levels could send this stock higher towards to $2.70 to $3 in the near future. Prev 2 of 5 Next

Special Security Force Command
|قيادة قوة الأمن الخاصة
|Agency overview
|Government of Bahrain
|Diwan Fort, Manama
|Special Security Forces, Always Forward!
|Agency executive
|Parent department
|Ministry of Interior
The Special Security Force Command (Arabic: قيادة قوة الأمن الخاصة) is a paramilitary law enforcement body in Bahrain under the command of the Ministry of the Interior. The SSFC is more commonly referred to as the "Special Security Forces", the "Special Forces", "Bahrain Special Security Forces (BSSF) or as the "riot police" (Arabic: الشغب).
A majority of the personnel of the SSFC are recruited from outside of Bahrain, from Arab countries like Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Syria and Pakistan. There are reportedly no Bahraini Shia among the ranks of the SSFC.[1]
The Special Security Forces have been accused of widespread human rights abuses, including torture, in trying to suppress opposition political activity in Bahrain.[1][2][3] The SSFC has been at the front line of the Bahrain government's crackdown on pro-democracy protesters during the Bahraini uprising in the Arab Spring.[4]
In November 2007, Bahrain signed a cooperation agreement with France under which French police officers working in the Compagnies Républicaines de Sécurité have provided training to Bahrain's SSFC.[1] A company of the SSFC were deployed to Afghanistan to provide base security at the United States's Camp Leatherneck.[5][6]

I'm almost done with the site symbolking.com ..but the .swf video on the homepage is ONLY working in FF and I need it to work in Safari (iOS) as well as Internet Explorer 8. I have tried plugins Stream Video as well as JW Player but can't seem to get it to implement without loading or rebuffering like it does with the SWFObj plugin.
I guess my ultimate question is how can I put a video (roughly 554x257 dimensions) on repeat at the top of my home page that's accepted on all relatively current browsers relatively simply?
I truly appreciate any help at all!

I made the 'mistake' of switching to Dvorak a number of years ago and now I'm encountering a lot of difficulties pairing with other developers at work on Windows as XP made the amazing decision to only allow input language switching on a per window basis.
I'm wondering if there's a script or hidden feature that I'm unaware of that would allow me to easily switch the input language on all windows (including CMD prompts!) so that pairing will be easier.
I'd prefer something that I can trigger via a quick hotkey like Macs supports.

The application of an object-oriented (OO) methodology to the design of a platform for heterogeneous digital libraries with multiagent technologies is demonstrated. Emphasis is placed on maximizing the autonomy of the query processing activity. The Fusion OO paradigm is specifically employed as the basis for the design process due to the significance attributed to the development of object interfaces under static and dynamic conditions. Finally, characteristics of the proposed Domain Index Server (DIS) platform are contrasted with those of an alternative platform (the University of Michigan Digital Library, UMDL) by way of the respective Fusion descriptions. This identifies a different emphasis on the interface design between objects in the two platforms: the DIS system uses more dynamic links while the UMDL system focuses on permanent and constant links. Simulation of the two platforms provides performance data that demonstrates the higher capacity of the DIS scheme

JACKSON, Miss. (March 6, 2013)--The FBI says it's monitoring the state investigation into the death of an openly gay mayoral candidate in Clarksdale, Miss.
FBI spokeswoman Deborah Madden said Wednesday the agency "will assess evidence to determine whether federal prosecution is appropriate."
The statement stopped short of saying the agency has opened its own investigation.
U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson asked the FBI on Tuesday to review the slaying of Marco McMillian.
Thompson's district includes Clarksdale, where McMillian was running for office.
McMillian, 33, was found slain last week.
Mississippi hate-crime law covers acts motivated by bias against race, but not sexual orientation.
McMillian was black, as is the man charged with his murder, Lawrence Reed, 22.

Germany's Bosch Shuts Solar-Panel Plant After Market Slowdown
Robert Bosch GmbH will close a solar-panel plant in eastern Germany by the end of the year as the world's biggest car-parts manufacturer trims back its solar-energy business.
Production at the 30-megawatt silicon thin-film plant in Erfurt, which has 130 employees, will be halted after the market environment for the technology declined "sharply" in recent months, Heide Traemann, a company spokeswoman for Bosch's solar unit, said today by phone.
Bosch is seeking to avoid firings by transferring as many employees as possible to other positions within the company, she said. The closing will have no effect on the company's facility in Arnstadt, where about 2,500 workers produce crystalline-based photovoltaic panels, she said.

This letter is about Amarillo's red-light
There is an old trick where you dangle a dollar bill between your friend's thumb and forefinger. He is supposed to catch it when you drop it, but most times he can't. Why? Because he does not know when you are going to release the dollar bill.
This is the dilemma you encounter at red-light camera intersections — you don't know when the light is going to change. Do you stop really fast, or proceed with the caution light?
To make intersections safer, how about
timing the lights so when the light turns red, it also stays red for the other side of the intersection, for maybe five seconds or so. This would give the intersection time to stabilize, and time for any stragglers to clear the intersection.
You can slap your friend in the head every time he misses that dollar bill, but it will not make him any better at catching it.

Under-bite helps Pabst become World's Ugliest Dog
Published: Sunday, June 28, 2009 at 10:09 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, June 28, 2009 at 10:09 a.m.
PETALUMA, Calif. (AP) A prominent under-bite, scrunched face and floppy ears are the hallmarks of a winner.
The winner of the World's Ugliest Dog contest, that is.
Pabst, a boxer-mix rescued from a shelter by Miles Egstad of Citrus Heights, Calif., won the annual contest on Friday at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Northern California.
It was an upset victory for Pabst, who beat former champion Rascal, a pedigree Chinese Crested.
Pabst's owner took home $1,600 in prize money, pet supplies and a modeling contract with House of Dog.
Miss Ellie, a blind 15-year-old Chinese Crested Hairless, won the pedigree category.

Commonwealth Bank Profit Rises on Loan Growth
MELBOURNE— Commonwealth Bank of Australia's CBAUY 0.00 % first-half net profit rose 13% from a year earlier on the back of strong loan growth and a decline in bad debt charges.
Net profit for the six months ended Dec. 31 rose to 2.91 billion Australian dollars (US$2.56 billion) from A$2.57 billion the prior year. The group increased its interim dividend to A$1.20 a share from A$1.13 a year earlier as a result of the earnings performance, which underscores the relative strength of Australia's major banks.
"This is a very good result at a time when many of our global peers struggle with the ongoing consequences of the global financial crisis," Chief Executive Ralph Norris said Wednesday. However, he cautioned that headwinds stemming from the global economy remain.
The group's closely watched cash profit—which strips out volatile items—rose to A$2.94 billion, up 54% from the previous year on a pro forma basis, which assumed the group owned BankWest for the entire six months to December 2008. Last month, the bank said it expected a cash profit of A$2.9 billion for the half.
Net interest income rose 19% to A$6.06 billion, boosted by a jump in home loans during the first half. Home-loan income increased 49% on a pro forma basis to A$1.19 billion, mainly as a result of increased market share and growth in outstanding home-loan balances, the bank said.
The group estimates its share of the home-loan market now sits at 26%, up from 23.2% a year ago.
Mr. Norris said the group expects a "gradual improvement" in demand for credit for the remainder of the 2010 calendar year. Commonwealth Bank economists expect a 5% to 7% increase in total bank lending in Australia this year, up from 3.3% growth in 2009.
The group's net interest margin jumped 0.19 percentage point to 2.18%.
Charges for bad and doubtful debts fell to A$1.38 billion from A$1.95 billion a year earlier, and group Chief Financial Officer David Craig reiterated his view that loan-impairment charges have probably peaked.
"We think we're past the worst but we don't think it will be a sudden drop," Mr. Craig told reporters in Sydney.
Rising bad debts have been the only major blemish on earnings at Australia's four biggest banks—Commonwealth Bank, Westpac Banking Corp. WBK 0.04 % , National Australia Bank Ltd. and Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd.—which have emerged from the global financial crisis in much better shape than many of their international peers.
The group's wealth-management division recorded a cash profit of A$379 million, up from A$178 million a year earlier, while its institutional banking and markets arm recorded cash earnings of A$545 million, compared with a loss of A$168 million the prior year.
Its BankWest arm recorded a cash profit of A$64 million, compared with a pro forma loss of A$110 million last year.
Mr. Norris said that while he is optimistic about the medium-term outlook for the economy, "there are still some risks from international volatility, which could affect short-term performance."
"Clearly there is still some uncertainty about the speed of recovery for the global economy and, perhaps more importantly for Australia, the performance of our major trading partners notably China and the U.S.," he said.
"As a result of these factors, and the uncertainty surrounding the outcome of initiatives by global regulators around banking sector capital and liquidity, the group plans to retain its current conservative capital and liquidity settings for the foreseeable future," Mr. Norris said.
The bank's Tier 1 capital ratio stood at 9.1% at the end of December.

Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Specialty
A stylish transsexual feast of Euro lust that should satisfy fans of the genre.
There's plenty of style and substance in this four-scene Euro trannie release beginning in a convertible cruise and ending with the split-crotch fishnets worn by a natural born woman during her fling with a fully functional tranny and natural born man.
Once out of the aforementioned convertible, a pretty black tranny fingers herself around her lace-bottomed bloomers before joining her swain on their bed. She then proceeds to loosen herself up with a toy in order to accommodate his bulk before wearing his appreciation on her chest. Next up, a very appealing tranny in a fantastic set of stockings smokes while thumbing through the pages of AVN. For obvious reasons, this turns her on and - lucky for her - she has a handsome, hung hunk to work off all that arousal with by banging away at him on the couch. There are more stockings and panties to be admired and removed in the next scene prior to some spoon style sex - but the big scene is definitely the pansexual threeway at this title's conclusion. Too bad they didn't put any extra effort into the DVD, however.

We know what you're thinking, and yes, friends, it can be yours. This two-tone Chevrolet Corvette comes from Eagle, Idaho, a product of Z and M Customs in homage to the Corvette Stingray Concept that played the Autobot Sideswipe in the second Transformers film, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. According to the seller, Arcturus401, Z and M only got nine of them out the door before General Motors expressed a lawyerly displeasure, and this is the only two-tone example among them.

Transformers: Age of Extinction is just hit US theaters, and if you need a dose of action and car chases after a long workday, it's probably the one to see. The studio and filmmakers aren't the only ones hoping for the fourth film in the series to be a big hit. General Motors clearly sees a cross-marketing opportunity because it's pumping a ton of promotion into this year's sequel to the action/sci-fi/toy franchise.

We're sure this human-size Transformer would say that he does it for the kids, but somehow we think there's just as much adult-spec geeking out for anyone so in love with Transformers that they would be willing to build a costume and walk around wearing it in public. And, if we're honest, we ourselves are just geeky enough that we'd probably do it, too. For the kids, of course.

If any modern movie franchise defines spectacle, it has to be Transformers. All instantiations are about inviting audiences to sit down, fill up popcorn and turn off their brains because the next 90 minutes are nothing but shiny robots, explosions and loud noises. Oh, and cars... lots of cars. The latest trailer for Transformers: Age of Extinction, the fourth film in the series, has just hit the web, and it checks all the boxes of what makes the films stand out.

Look, we aren't expecting Transformers 4 to be the next Citizen Kane or Casablanca. All we're expecting is lots of explosions, some vague attempts at acting and an excuse to stuff our faces with some buttery popcorn in a cool theater on a hot summer day. Judging by this new, full-length trailer released on Michael Bay's YouTube page, we're pretty sure we're going to get just that – and we're going to get a bunch of neat cars and trucks.

Spy photographers usually try to focus their lenses on test mules and prototypes, but this week, a camera-toting sleuth stumbled upon some filming for Transformers 4 on location at a General Motors proving grounds facility in Michigan. While Michael Bay's personal website has already shown us a handful of confirmed and potential characters for the movie, these images are our first live look at the Autobots including what appears to be the new Bumblebee.

It looks like Optimus Prime could have some ten-wheeled competition when Transformers 4 hits theaters next year. Michael Bay's website has released an image showing the latest character to join the movie's robot alien cast, and while the previous character reveals were all Autobots, this dark and ominous Freightliner is almost certainly a Decepticon.

Never doubt the ingenuity of toy makers. Unveiled at the 2013 Tokyo Toy Show, toy-maker Takara Tomy has created a real-life transforming Chevrolet Camaro, although it isn't named Bumblebee. Along with Hasbro, Takara Tomy created the Transformers toys from decades past, and we can only imagine how much cooler our childhoods could have been if the Transformers we owned back then could have actually transformed on their own.

Delicious Golden Mushroom Soup With Beef Broth Dairy Free
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 20 mins
So many mushroom soups - so much milk & cream! Well not this one! This soup is warming and very tasty. It can be Kosher if you like. You can substitute 1/2 the olive oil with butter if you like. I used about 1/2 cup reconstituted dried exotic mushrooms for flavor too.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, sliced thin
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 (10 ounce) package cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1⁄2 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 quart beef broth
- salt
- pepper
- Heat the oil in a 5 quart chef's pan or dutch oven. Add the onions, mushrooms and garlic and saute until soft and just beginning to brown. Turn up the burner to high and add the wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of your pan and reduce for a minute or two until a bit creamy then add the flour, stir to coat the vegetables then add the Beef Broth while stirring. Bring up to a boil while stirring, the soup will thicken slightly (this is not a super thick soup) Then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes or so. Ladle a bit out to adjust the seasoning - some commercial broths can be salty so taste first. Then add your salt and pepper and enjoy! Bon Appetit!
Most Helpful
The soup was unique, as described, SO MANY mushroom soups have heavy cream and dairy. I adore a light broth as a low-cal snack to warm my bones! I put a touch of lite sour cream on top. Changes: (because I didn't have everything in the fridge) I used baby bellas, sherry and added a bay leaf. JUST PERFECT. Thank you, Chandy.
I added a little Worcestershire, more mushrooms and garlic than called for. I only used 4 cups of beef broth but added extra wine. I'm pretty sure the sodium content in mine is less based on the beef froth I used. I have tasted this and it is very good. Will have pre spagetti & meatsauce dinner tonight. Great site and thanks for the recipe.
This is a great soup! I omited the flour and reduced tge oul to half. I added a little sherry wine, worschsier sauce and creamy horseradish. I also used chicken and vegetable broth due to not having any beef broth. Next time, I think I might pur?e some of it for a thicker broth.

Venkatta Bhatta
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Venkatta Bhatta - Gaudiya Vaishnava (formerly principal priest of Srirangam belonging to Sri Sampradaya) is famous for being part of the conversion from worship of Laksmi-Narayana to worship of Krishna as Svayam bhagavan. In Chaitanya Charitamrita 2.9.108-124[1] and further on Chaitanya talks about Krishnas supremacy in a joking mood with Venkatta Bhatta.[2] Also notable for being the father of Gopala Bhatta.
When Chaitanya traveled through South India in 1509-10, he stayed at his house of at Srirangam.[2] Venkata and his two brothers, Gopala's uncles Trimalla and Prabodhananda Sarasvati "were converted from their Sri Vaishnava faith in Lakshmi-Narayana as supreme to one in Radha Krishna" as original, Svayam bhagavan.[2] The dialog of this conversion is recorded in 16 c. Caitanya Caritamrita biography by Krishna dasa Kaviraja.[3]
In Madhya lila of Caitanya caritamrita[clarification needed] a presentation is given,[4] with a reference to the particular verse of the tenth canto of Bhagavata Purana as to the reason why Lakshmi, also known as Sri (thus the name of Sri Sampradaya), is burning with desire and still not capable of entering into the realm of Vrindavana.[5]
Prabodhananda Sarasvati who was a Sri Sampradaya sannyasi was also converted as to supreme position of Radha-Krishna being Svayam bhagavan instead of Lakshmi-Narayana. He as well apparently came to appreciate the supremacy of Radha worship from Caitanya.[6]

As Somebody who has been on this site since day one and a paid subscriber since day 1 I'm disappointed in this cross production between gamespot and giant bomb, the two sites serve different audiences and to be honest gamespot the brand and the personalities as a group (individually there all fine) brings nothing positive to the table. With 9 people in the bomb squad (Jeff, Ryan, Brad, Vinny, Drew, Patrick, Alex, Dave and Alexsis) and the special (recurring) guests they have, there is no need or benefit to be had from wheeling in the B-team and watch them struggle to keep up. Alexis, Drew and Dave already don't get enough air(screen? Web?) time. keep up the usually great work guys."

One of the worst placed I've worked
(Former Employee) –
Abbotsford, BC
March 6, 2016
I've done plenty of labor related jobs in the past and I've never worked for a company that cares less about their employees. Minimum wage for production and recycling workers even though its a labor intensive job, lousy benefits and impossible to reach bonus incentives. Raises were laughable and insulting.
There is barely the needed amount of safety precautions in place, hazards are everywhere. Staff is not supplied with all they need to do the job safely and efficiently. Management is hostile and condescending towards staff, favoritism is rampant towards select staff. The work environment is poor and moral is almost never up. Do yourself a favor and don't bother applying for anything related to working with this company.
Best part about the whole job was the steady hours and the few decent staff that worked there.

Hated this place. I only accepted the job to pay the bills for the time being as I was laid off. They tell you a luxurious position that you will get and once hired it is not at all what they said. Management uses the paper you signed when hiring against you at every chance and if you are not 100% on point you will get wrote up as these managers are new and trying to gain power. The co-workers were amazing, the pay was terrible and there was smoking mirrors with the "benefits" package. The hardest part of my job was showing up every day to such a terribly managed work place. I would suggest edits to the back however were turned down. The hazardous area isn't even properly cleaned or set up, the HOTZ people came and nearly fainted at the sight of their set up.
Such a terrible backroom warehouse set up, terrible hours, not flexible and the job security is inaccurate as hours were always fluctuating once hired.
Received a Pay every 2 Weeks.
Hazardous Work Place, Never Fully Trained, Falsified Hiring Information.

Great team, pretty easy work, your typical retail experience
Front End Cashier
(Current Employee) –
Ottawa East, ON
February 10, 2016
I work in operations, the team that manages the front of the store.
It's your typical retail job; working the cash, cleaning up after customers, hanging clothes, etc. You get the occasional grumpy, messy customers who push your buttons but that's any retail job. Value Village is no different. It's pretty easy work.
Pay is good, starts at minimum and every year depending on how you do you get a bonus (a fairly good one if you've been a good employee.) Full time (32 hours a week or more) get benefits which is nice. Upward movement is an option if you're a solid employee.The location I work at have pretty good management. Not many complaints.
My only issue is with the consistency of the rules and pricing. A lot of the times managers will break 90% of the rules to please customers resulting in a lot of that "if you scream loud enough at the cashier you get what you want" mentality from the return customers. You say no (because it's your job to) and then they scream and the manager says yes to appease them.
Be prepared for constant price haggling and price checks. All in all, good place to work.
Good management, room for promotion, easy work
Typical retail experience of dealing with bad customers, take the brunt of customer anger

Stressful environment with a focus on profit instead of Community
Production Supervisor
(Current Employee) –
Hamilton, ON
November 30, 2015
I joined this company thinking that it's objective was to use it's profits to help the community, environment and less fortunate countries. Through insight, I realized that this is not true. The focus is on paying the non-profits as little as possible, and only recycling the things they can sell to middle men. Training is non-existent. I was given an outdated book and told to find time to "figure it out". Lack of communication makes the day very stressful as mixed messages and lack of direction cause team members to become upset and lash out. The hardest part of the job is finding the motivation to push the team members to fulfill impossible quotas. The most enjoyable part of the job is when someone comes to me with a problem and I am able to help them. I like my job but most days I am not able to do it.

Production Worker

If you are planning to apply, take this into consideration; having worked in both areas of a store, I recommend the front end of the store.
Of course, working with the public can be hard and stressful, it's nothing compared to working in the back area.
Depending on the location and the management, you have to prepare yourself for high performance and meeting set quotas each day.
You do get some information on how items are priced before they reach the sales floor. And see some of the 'garbage' that people donate.
Many of the others you work with can be very friendly. It can be a fun place to work, but be careful of what you say.
One of the great benefits is getting discounts on the items you buy. But you have to wait 48 hours after it hits the sales floor before you are able to consider buying it. The customers get first choice and pick. I would consider myself lucky if an item I wanted to buy was still there after the 2 day waiting period.

Fun, friendly place to work with a strive for daily excellent customer satisfaction
Sales Clerk
(Current Employee) –
Kingston, ON
December 5, 2015
A typical day of work would include getting assigned a cash register for the day. My first 2 hours of my shift would be spent on cash. I would say the most enjoyable and hardest part of my job is talking to the customers. I love talking to people from all walks of life. I learn new things from my customers on a daily basis. I like complementing them on their purchases. Sometimes making a simple compliment can make anybody's day. On the other hand, some customers can be a real handful. They easily can get upset if their coupons have expired or they don't like the prices. I have learned patience while dealing with these customers. There is no sense making the situation worse by getting frustrated. I calmly talk to them and if the situation gets worse then I simply call a manager. The management is wonderful. They treat the employees well and back them up when an unpleasant situation arises.
I get along with everyone that I work with, I have been praised for my work by both my managers and customers
Not getting hours, not all employees do their fair share of the work

a typical day at work would be starting out on cash and moving to the back to handle donations to cover the person on break or just be in the back for the whole shift.
I learned that the Canadian Diabetes Association is partner of Value Village
The co-workers were great, easy to get along with, fun and energetic
the management was amazing, never felt uncomfortable going to the manager for help, all members of management were very approachable.
The hardest part of the job was to deny the acceptance of items we couldn't take ex. mattresses, lighters firearms etc.
The most enjoyable part of the job was working the back and seeing what great stuff people would donate to us.

I worked in production and although the hours were good and I liked getting done work at 4pm every day there were also quite a few things I really disliked about working at Value Village. First off the management was very unorganized and inconsistent. They put me on so many different jobs while I worked there and they worked me to my full potential but didn't pay me a dime extra, even for the more difficult jobs! I didn't feel that was fair. The pay is also horrible. The low pay is the reason why I could not continue working there anymore. it just wasn't even worth getting out of bed in the morning.

Fun working environment but can be stressful
Sales Clerk/Cashier
(Current Employee) –
North York, ON
January 4, 2016
A typical day at work would be providing customer service and performing general maintenance of the merchandises around the sale's floor. I learned how to perform cashiering duties and use a switch board to direct people's calls. The management is very laid-back and sometimes their work ethics can be very unprofessional. My co-workers are very friendly and we often enjoy working with each other. The hardest part of the job would be maintaining the cleanliness of the sale's floor during rush busy times and this sometimes can be very stressful. However, the most enjoyable part of the job is to see all the various unique merchandise being put out to the sales floor as well to provide excellent customer service to the frequent regular shoppers.

Let me first start this review with a little personality of myself, I'm a very easy man, I don't have high expectations and I don't think to much about things that don't require it. I rated this job as neutral as possible because I knew what I was going into, I knew there was no amazing salary or job security or advancement, my expectations going into this job was it was better than nothing. I have no complaints about Value Village, I could nitpick but that's not my personality.
A typical day at work involved punching in and punching out, going to the working supervisor to see your duties for the day, and you did those duties and whatever else the supervisor needed done for your shift. I don't think I learned to much that can be carried over from job to job. But I do think I grew as a person, I can now help anyone I see in need, I can quickly think on my feet and I'm more outgoing within respect to the workplace.
Management has always been fine and I've never had any problems with them nor have they had any problems with me, they're all great in my eyes regardless of how others see them. My co-workers also go hand in hand with my sentences above for management, they are all great and I have no issues with anyone.
I think the hardest part of my job is either getting every donation inside before the store closes (in the summer it gets insane with the donations) and or the actual process of going to work. Its not a very fulfilling place, as you might imagine its a retail store and eventually you'll want to move on to bigger, better, more interesting things.
My most
enjoyable times at work are 100% caused by the friends I've made there, in no doubt without my co-workers and friends I would of not enjoyed it as much there.

A typical day at work would have been helping customers, hanging clothes, having friendly conversations, and ringing people up on the cash register. While working at Value Village I learned how to properly use cash registers, how to work well with my fellow team members to get a job finished to the best of its abilities. Every employee in the establishment had a very kind and positive outlook on the store, there were never any issues.The hardest part of the job, however, would have to be dealing with shoplifters and a few choice angry customers. My favorite part about the job I had was that I could work with people and converse with them. I truly enjoy getting along with my fellow team members and customers.

In a days shift one must handle cash, maintain the store clean,accept donations,solve queries of customers.I learned to handle cash and I learned managerial skills from my managers by observing them at work in how they deal with customers.Co-workers are good.Hardest part of job is standing outside in cold at times to accept donations from customers.Most enjoyable part is the food that sometimes the management provides.Getting proper hours is another problem there.Job working hours are flexible which is very good if you are a student.

We have a strong management team that works together.
We have a great team we are more like a family that like to be their for each other.
the hardest part of the job is having to let people go when they have to many cash issues.
The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to help out people that are less fortunate and down on their luck.

A typical day at work is I go to my till and I ring people through all day. If I am working G I clean up the floor and fix the hangers.
What I have learned working at value village is that I don't like working retail, I do not enjoy doing on calls either.
My co-workers are very understanding and very talkative.
The hardest part of the job is when people give you a hard time about a price of an item. Working G is just painful, you would walk up and down the same isle for hours fixing the same thing over and over again.

(Former Employee) –
Regina, SK

Strenuous work, dirty work, working with old moldy clothes with out proper protection. Management always expecting you to exert yourself, and everyone gets pulled down if only certain others are not putting in their share of work.

Claire Danes, spilling drinks on Uma Thurman and Stanley Tucci at the Sundance Institute's 25th anniversary party in New York City. The actress was playing cocktail waitress on the red carpet – along with other enlisted stars, including Thurman, Tucci and Paul Newman – when she lost her balance, tipped her tray and doused Thurman and Tucci, who jokingly yelled "You're fired!" as the red-faced actress mopped up her black pants using napkins that fellow waiter-actor Peter Dinklage quickly delivered to her. All the celebrity waiters had to list their five worst jobs on the front of their long-sleeved T-shirts. Danes copped to being a competitive eater – but clearly not a waitress.
Lindsay Lohan, hopping onstage to sing Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire," Stevie Nicks's "Edge of Seventeen" and Gladys Knight & the Pips' "Midnight Train to Georgia" at karaoke night at Guy's in West Hollywood. "The crowd was going crazy for Lindsay," says a clubgoer. "They were cheering, dancing, and singing right along with her."
Vanessa Minnillo, partying in New York City at a launch bash for Piperlime, the Gap's new online shoe shop, at the Hotel Gansevoort penthouse. Other celebs making the scene at the event, hosted by celeb stylist Rachel Zoe: Rosario Dawson, Parker Posey and Lucy Liu, who sipped the night's specialty drink, lime martinis, and feasted on caviar, dumplings, sushi and mini-brownies.
Emmitt Smith, dining with three male friends at Beverly Hills eatery Mastro's Steakhouse.
Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, spinning Donatella Versace around at a dinner the fashion diva hosted at New York City's Gramercy Park Hotel for Allure editor Linda Wells's new book, Allure: Confessions of a Beauty Editor.
Salma Hayek, having a girls lunch with her mom and pals at the Mauro Café at Fred Segal on Melrose.
Brooke Shields, reading to kids at the kickoff event for Toys for Tots Million Toy Drive at Toys R' Us in New York City's Times Square. Later, she escorted children around the store to buy gifts to donate to the toy drive, which provides presents to impoverished kids around the country.
Tommy Lee, hanging out with Rock Star: Supernova winner Lukas Rossi and a blonde female companion at the Ivy in Los Angeles. "They were having a very pleasant, mellow lunch," says an onlooker.
Kirsten Dunst, dancing to a Guns N' Roses song atop a banquette at New York City bar Revolver. Nearby, supermodels Gisele Bündchen and Adriana Lima hung out with several tattooed guys.
Courtney Love, Nicolas Cage and Oliver Stone, talking politics over dinner at Mortons in West Hollywood. "The term 'Iraq War' got thrown around a lot," says an onlooker. "Otherwise, they were enjoying each other s company, laughing plenty."
Larry Hagman, wearing a huge white Stetson at a party for Joel Grey's photography book, Looking Hard at Unexamined Things, at the Beverly Hills Lacoste store. Hagman – looking like J.R. Ewing – told us that when Nip/Tuck approached him to do a guest-starring role, he had no clue about the show. "But then I watched the episode about the 600-lb. woman they had to cut off the couch and it was so sensitive and well-written, I said, 'Why the hell not?' "
Marilyn Manson, reveling at an L.A. art gallery opening featuring his work. Stars including Evan Rachel Wood and Giovanni Ribisi perused the rocker's ghoulish watercolors, which included a portrait of Angelina Jolie with nails piercing one of her arms and an eye missing. One partygoer dressed as Manson himself, causing some confusion since the fake Manson and the real Manson were dressed almost identically.
