ANAHEIM More than 150 companies will offer 2,500 available jobs on Wednesday during the fifth annual Anaheim/OC Job Fair & Expo at the Convention Center.
Entry, mid-level and management jobs will be available.
The free event, set for 10 a.m., includes résumé reviews, access to free Wi-Fi and career-skills workshops; one of those workshops, "Transitioning American Heroes," assists military veterans seeking jobs in the civilian sector.
"It's important that we help everyone find a job, because there's nothing more fundamental to quality of life than to be able to provide for your family," said Anaheim Councilwoman Kris Murray, chairwoman of the job fair this year.
More than 190 companies participated in the job fair last year, drawing 7,000 people. Of that, 3,050 applicants were interviewed and 619 were ultimately hired as a result of the event, according to the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce.
"Our whole goal with this job fair is to assist Orange County residents to find employment, whether they are veterans, low-income or laid off from their last job," said Alexis Baquerizo, manager of the One-Stop Center in Buena Park, which is funded by the county.
Anaheim officials are also using the event to promote resources that employers and job seekers can look for in the city's enterprise zones, which have come under fire.
Assemblyman Tom Daly, D-Anaheim, included a provision in the Legislature's budget proposal that specifically bans the operators of the Honda Center from collecting enterprise zone tax credits when it terminates about 500 food-service employees on June 30 and replaces them with new workers. Honda Center officials have said they don't plan to apply for the credits.
In a report released last month, the state's Legislative Analyst's Office found that enterprise zones are generally ineffective because they don't create a net increase in jobs and recommended the program for elimination. Todd Ament, president and CEO of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, defended the city's enterprise zones, saying they have led to the creation of more than 3,000 jobs since December 2010.
"It really has been the biggest tool to attract and retain jobs while assisting those seeking employment," Ament said.

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed...
So I'll get to the point: the boots and leggings are old, the boot bling is from a neato western store B and I stopped at last weekend, and the top is from the Weardrobe Closet - a fabulous idea that allows members to borrow items for a week. It's a great opportunity to "try it before you buy it" and I think I might be needing one of these tops in gray...

Mijas is about 15 minutes drive or you can take the bus by the shopping centre. The aquaparks at Fuengirola and Torremolinos are about 10 minutes by car with Malaga being about 20 minutes by train. Malaga is a beautiful city with its harbour, cathedral and, of course, the world-famous Picasso museum.
The Andalucia region
This part of Spain is protected from the northern climate by its 'Sierras' and so enjoys a fabulous climate all year round. Travel inland a little way and you have the traditional Spain, try a day out at El Chorro and swim in the freshwater lakes. The city of Malaga is a gem with its paved streets, the famous Picasso museum, the cathedral, its many restaurants, cafés and bars. Try Malaga's oldest tapas bar 'Logüeno' (Log-wen-o) or stroll along the Alameda Principal with its many flower stalls, the colours are overwhelming. Then you can walk up the paved Calle Larios and maybe take coffee and 'churros' in the Café Central in the Plaza de la Constitución. Head further east and you have Nerja with its famous caves.
At the heart of Benalmádena is the old white Andalusian village of Benalmadena Pueblo with its narrow streets with flowers growing everywhere, so much colour. The Plaza de España is at the heart of the Pueblo and has cafés, restaurants, craft and souvenir shops and the fountain of the young girl, the symbol of Benalmadena. This too is the real Spain as the locals go about their day-to-day business and some of the older village folk sit on a bench in the shade of the orange trees and just chat away to each other.
For the children there is Tivoli World just a bus ride away in Arroyo de la Miel and a little further on is the World famous Benalmadena Marina which has won worldwide acclaim for its architecture. The marina has more activities and restaurants thatn I can list here so put it on your itinerary.
Within walking distance of the villa is the Altos del Higueron shopping centre which has a Carrefour supermarket, a bank, an Italian restaurant which has superb pizzas to eat in or take away. Then there is the Taberna del Frasco bar, a dry cleaners, internet café, excellent Indian restaurant, hairdressers and the very stylish 'Punto Rojo' restaurat and bar. All the restaurants and bars have tables and chairs on the pavement so you can sit and sip your 'mojito' whilst watching the world go by.
For those who like to shop there is the excellent Corte Ingles at Mijas Costa and this has top names at surprising prices especially during the sales. Within this beautiful department store is the Hipercor supermarket which sells everything from air conditioners to zip fasteners (couldn't think of anything beginning with Z). Within Hipercor is its own bakery, delicatessen, superb fresh fish counter and Spanish takeaway food counter where they will prepare you a paella of your choice and they make a gift of the 'paellera' - paella cooking pan - to you: superb!

I am a hunter and passionate gun shooter. It was not easy for me to find the information
on the ammo I wanted for hunting and shooting. I have collected this information
to help me find the ammo prices and stores near me. I hope you find this formation
PLEASE NOTE: ALL OF THE PRICES FOR THE AMMO WERE VERIFIED BEFORE THE COMPULSIVE HOARDING DISORDER STARTED FOR AMMO BUYERS. Thanks to the democratic party of America that is the MAIN CAUSE of the compulsive hoarding disorder for ammo buyers. Please add $3.00 to $5.00 dollars to most of the ammo prices. *****************************http://www.luminox.comMessage to Luminox Customer Care.My mother gave me a luminox watch for my birthday. It is a series 8800. I do not ware it anymore as the rubber band is breaking. I was in Cabelas Lone Tree store looking at getting a new band. They told me to contact you as the band should not be breaking apart in two years. Please let me know what I should do next.From Luminox Customer Care.Replacement straps and keepers are available through our Service Center. They can be reached at 401-946-0920, email@example.com or http://www.saltzmans-watches.com/luminox_watch_bands .Message to Luminox Customer CareHello Customer Care.If I buy a new rubber watch band will it break again? I do not want to just keep buying $40.00 rubber watch bands that will break within two years. Please advise me of what to do about this problem? Is this just bad manufacturing or bad rubber material in the rubber bands? Maybe it is the high altitude of where I live. I am in Parker, Colorado. 6,000 I do hike in the mountains here so I do go even higher. Maybe Luminox are not a watch that functions well at high altitudes. Do you think that is the problem? Again please advise me.From Luminox Customer Care.Altitude should not be a factor in the wear of your rubber strap. The rubber will break down over time. The life of a rubber strap can wear quicker depending on how the watch is treated. We do have nylon options for most of our watches. Nylon is typically going to last longer and be a stronger material. They can be reached at 401-946-0920, firstname.lastname@example.com or http://www.saltzmans-watches.com/luminox_watch_bands.Message to Luminox Customer Care.Hello Customer Care.Ok. Got it. It is just bad rubber material and bad manufacturing.I told the Luminox customer care that I would put the emails of our communications on this website.*****************************I own a Luminox tactical watch. The luminox symbol on the face of the watch came unglued and impedes the movement of the watch hands.I have a warranty card. I sent the watch in for repair and was told the warranty will not be honored because there is no dealer stamp on the card. The watch is less than a year old. POOR WORKMANSHIP AND NOT A VERY GOOD TACTICAL WATCH.CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS AND WAS NOT HELPFUL EITHER. I am in the law enforcement tactical community for one of the largest agencies in the nation.I was very surprised how crappy my experience was with this company.*****************************I have been selling Luminox watches for about a year and have one advice - do not buy! I had too many bad reviews from my clients. here are some common issues, some happen in just a short time of use:1. Water resistant? Do not count on it, some watches are just not sealed. If water got into the watch and the movement is ruined you have a problem. They will always say it is your fault.2. Scratches- The entry level watches do not have a sapphire crystal but "hardened mineral", it is easily scratched and brake.3. Movements- They use basic cheap RONDA movements that are just not tough enough for military/police/outdoor use, do not expect to have a tough reliable watch. I replaced many movements for watches under 1 year of use.4. Straps- The rubber straps are not strong enough! Prepare to buy another spare strap if you use it for any outdoor activity. it will not last for long.5. LLT- that is the Luminox light technology. This is a great feature, probably the only good reason to buy a Luminox. but beware- the LLT capsules often fall off the dial, it is of course your fault (usually they will not repair under warranty). and I had a few cases that the capsules broke for no reason so do not glow anymore, you do not expect it to happen on a tough watch!6. Hands fall off, usually the second hand fall off.7. SERVICE- that is the most important issue on my opinion, Luminox will always blame you for any defect and will ask you to pay for repairs, stand up for your rights and do not accept it!*****************************I bought 2 Blackout, Navy Seal Carbon Chronos ($500 Each). Nothing but trouble with both of them. The chrono has never worked correctly with the one I gave to my brother. The strap has ripped twice and second hand does not center correctly.Recently, my Stem broke off in my hand when I pulled it out to reset the time. I could not believe it. I called the ONLY service center in USA and they told me its $30.00 to replace. I sent it to them and then they replied its also a $84.00 Major Overhaul even though everything else worked. It is way too much to spend on a defective part. They should have fixed for free.Buy Suunto... I had one of my buttons stick and they sent me a self addressed envelope and fixed for free, overhauled it for free and put all new buttons on for... yes free. Plus shipped to me at NO cost.They say it can withstand the beating of a Navy Seal! I think the Navy should make them take the Trident off the back of the watch, it does not deserve it!*****************************My wife bought me my Luminox for Christmas and by the middle of January it had already torn up on me.I wore it in the shower two times and i noticed water on the inside of the glass, then the little glow light used as the #3 fell off.The next day I was putting the watch on and the knob used to set the time just fell out of the watch! This is by far the cheapest made watch I have ever owned!!! I have multiple watches from timex to citizen and this one rates with the watch you use to get with your happy meal at McDonalds!The customer service advised me the watch is waterproof but its not made to go in the shower!!! What the *** is that supposed to even mean!!!*****************************My first Luminox watch was the original Navy Seal. It lasted a little over two years. The company wanted $125.00 to repair so I purchased the Model 8400. Last week it stopped after about 2.5 years. I replaced the battery. The watch ran from 3:10pm to 7:35pm and stopped for good. The jewelry store watch repair said the works were very low quality and I was best in junking the watch or try sending it back to Luminox. Burned twice is enough, my opinion is they are absolutely junk and I was ripped off twice. I liked the Luminox only because of the night illumination which seems to be the best in the industry. I dive at times in low visibility and light. Suppose it failed when needed and this company should not even represent any of their watches as dive watches. They are putting people at risk. Not to mention the false advertising. The dial may not be as bright but my Breitling has functioned perfectly for over ten years and I think I will stick with it. Luminox hopefully will disappear as the truth gets out.*****************************Reagan Warned Us About ObamaHow Reagan summed up Obama in the first 5 minutes of a speech over 40 years ago.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3hY1eagq88*****************************Thomas Jefferson said: "When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.""The federal government is our servant, not our master!"James Madison, the main author of the US constitution, said: "The governments of Europe are afraid to trust the people with arms. If they did, the people would surely shake off the yoke of tyranny."*****************************"The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed."-- Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers*****************************"And that the said Constitution be never construed to authorize Congress ... to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms....

It makes for a decidedly dangerous work environment for the criminal. Criminals, for safety sake, will almost certainly prefer to strike at the weakest link - the most vulnerable - those least likely to be able to defend themselves or offer resistance.****************************************President Obamas Ex-Secret Service Agent Says It is Not Gun Control, It is People Control.Published on Mar 29, 2013 by TheMassiveTruth1https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii5RUjkyS3Y****************************************

GLASGOW'S Subway is okay the way it is.
Plenty was spent on it in the 1970s. Why do we need new trains which have to be custom built?
They could have refurbished the running gear while still keeping the present coaches.
They managed to keep 80-year-old trains running for years cannibalising old tram bogies. They are also obsessed with driverless trains. Well they won't get me on one.
Why can't SPT have a 'directorless' boardroom? Wouldn't that be nice? And save money as well?

Free travel
"THOSE who rely on food banks often walk for miles because they cannot afford to pay for transport" said one of your recent reports.
Couldn't Network Rail bosses chip in with a few free train travel tickets to save those who rely on food banks walking for miles because they can't afford to pay for transport?

Driver got off
THE Glasgow taxi driver who told passengers speaking the Irish languge in his cab to get out was lucky to get off with the punishment of a month's suspension and having to take a customer courtesy course.
The licensing board are encouraging bigotry and racism with this lenient view.
This type of behaviour should be treated seriously and hammered to stamp it out.
Bigotry needs no encouragement in Glasgow.
Is this the example of what we will be presenting to the world when the Commonwealth Games comes to Glasgow?
Do we really want the bigoted views of one man to spoil a friendly welcome to what should be a great advert for Glasgow.

Gerry honour

West Nile virus has claimed the lives of a 74-year-old Sacramento County woman and a Shasta County resident, health officials report. Aerial spraying to combat the virus will continue Thursday night over the cities of Davis and Woodland.
The Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito & Vector Control District uses a low-toxicity insecticide to kill mosquitoes that carry the virus. Spraying is planned between 8 p.m. and midnight, around the time mosquitoes are most active.
"Once we know the adults are infected and flying, aerial spraying is the only way to reduce them significantly and quickly," said Luz Rodriguez, the district's spokeswoman.
Aerial spraying will take place over two areas. The Davis block is approximately 20,000 acres bounded by County Road 29 on the north down to Levee road on the south, and from County Road 98 on the west to County Road 105 on the east.
The Woodland block is about 12,000 acres from Churchill Downs Avenue on the north to County Road 25A on the south and from County Road 97 on the west to County Road 102 on the east.
Residents can sign up for spraying alerts by going to www.fightthebite.net/spray-notification/.
"Every season is different; this just seems to be a very intense year statewide," Rodriguez said.
No human cases of West Nile virus have been reported in Yolo County. A total of 132 mosquito samples, 30 dead birds and one sentinel chicken have tested positive for West Nile in Yolo County to date.

Comment Re:They're bums, why keep them around (Score 2) 743
Greece shouldn't have been allowed into the Eurozone in the first place. The government at the time falsified and hacked [wikipedia.org] balance sheets, economic and financial data to be allowed into the Eurozone.
And now the people, who had very little to do with that, will have to pay the price.

Hey there! I got some pics of my wonderful boy and I yesterday. He has really calmed down and accepted that he has a job now, so I can start working on myself.
First thing is do I have a chair seat?
I think it is more drastic in some pics then others.
Also are my heels too far down?
Are my stirrups too short? They feel long to me but is that because of the chair seat? The hit just below my ankle bone when I hang my lags down.
The last picture is our most impressive jump to date ;P
You can see how long my stirrups are in it, and about the heels? They can go down pretty far if I put my weight in them, so do I need to put some weight in the stirrup/ball of my foot?
Let me know if something doesnt make sense lol

Our County
Clearwater County was established February 27, 1911, by the State of Idaho under the provisions of House Bill No. 2 of the Eleventh Session of the State of Idaho; Clearwater County was named for the Clearwater River whose name was translated from the Nez Perce term Koos-Koos-Kai-Kai, describing clear water.
In 1805 Lewis and Clark followed an old Indian trail between the north and middle forks of the Clearwater River and met the Nez Perce near the present site of Weippe, Idaho. Gold was first discovered by E.D. Pierce in 1860 and Pierce City and the oldest mining town in Idaho came into existence and was home to the first courthouse in Idaho.
Clearwater County was formed from Nez Perce County which was a part of Shoshone County from 1864 until 1904, when it then became established as a part of Nez Perce County from 1904 until 1911. February 27, 2011 marks the 100th anniversary of the creation of Clearwater County.
The Clearwater Management Council is developing a proposal to be submitted to Idaho Parks and Recreation requesting a grant of $5,000 and is seeking public support for the proposal. The proposal is due to the funding source on January 29, 2016. For more information please click on the following link:

48 year old woman | New Orleans, LA, United States | Seeking men 40-54 within 50 miles
Dude, where are you???
I am playful, positive, energetic, fun, fit, sincere, happy, grounded, and adventurous. Also a tall, lifelong blond, who VERY recently became a redhead (guess who was bored on snow day....). I love what I do and am looking for someone at the top of his game, with whom to enjoy life, who wants to dance, go to festivals, hear live music, be active, travel, cook together, who enjoys a well-made cocktail, likes to relax on the porch over a glass of wine and soak in all that New Orleans and the world has to offer. I have abundant family and friends, but I am looking for a special guy to compliment my happy life. I'm seek someone who is intellectually stimulating, social, physically fit, kind, comfortable in their own skin,grateful, sane, sensual, adventurous, confident (but not arrogant), who reads a lot, can talk honestly about things (even when it's hard), who is down to earth and fun. I respond only to those with pictures (it's only fair). If you're the man I've described, I look forward to meeting you.

First morning cup of coffee (even better if someone brings it to me in bed, haha!); The Daily Show; the pure joy I feel when I enter the gates of Jazz Fest on opening day; getting off a plane to explore someplace I've never been.
Travel, dance, go hear live music, read a great book in a long bubble bath, dinner with friends, plant things in my garden....

Please Wait - Updating Your Shopping Cart
Inert, detailed replicas of actual weapons give trainees the confidence to handle, balance and use a variety of firearms.
I was a little hesitant to spend close to $50 for a training pistol. When the pistol arrived I was satisfied with the purchase. The gun is solid (no flex) and feels real in the hand. It was worth paying the extra money as opposed to paying less and receving a training pistol that was either too soft or somewhat flexile. The training pistol will be sued to practice my Commando Krav Maga training.
As a training gun, this will work fine. As a holster making gun this is useless. The dimensions are way off.

Full review: I've got hai shen in my tummy (3/22/2007)
Yummi HouseWith a name like this, is there any doubt what the dining future holds? It is truly the yummiest of houses with Korean and multiregional Chinese fare like Mongolian pork, oyster beef, almond chicken and green mussels in black bean sauce. Throw in some Mapo tofu and soybean paste noodles and there's something for every taste. The crispy fried wontons stuffed with crab and cream cheese are well worth a trip to the Heights, and definitely order the "happy family." It would mean a lot to us. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

Father Of The Bride
Who would have guessed funny-man Steve Martin would make such a good dad? Whether the obvious choice or not, the not-always-family-friendly actor really shines as the Father of the Bride in the 1991 re-make of a classic Hollywood title.
In the film, Martin plays George Banks, a possessive parent who suffers a panic attack when his child, Annie (Kimberly Williams), announces her intention to marry Bryan MacKenzie (George Newbern). First he insists she is too young, then he accuses her suitor of being unsuitable, and finally he turns to his wife to concur with his verdict.
Nina Banks (Diane Keaton) however, is thrilled with the news. Completely charmed by the prospective groom, she pooh-poohs her husband's cold feet and steps up to help with the plans. Giggling with girlish enthusiasm, mom and daughter quickly hire a wedding consultant (the hilarious Martin Short) and start spending money without restraint.
The expense of the nuptials proves to be almost as big of a problem for tightwad George as the emotional toll of giving away his only daughter. Comedy abounds as he tries to balance his anxiety and checkbook with the social obligations associated with the blessed event.
Yet amidst the mayhem of meeting the in-laws, renovating his home to accommodate hundreds of invited guests and looking for cost-cutting alternatives (such as reusing his 20-year-old tuxedo), the script still manages to capture the deep sentiment of the bond between George and Annie, as well as the strength and stability to be found in a loving marriage (especially if you're lucky enough to have a level-headed wife like Nina).
With the exception of a few sexual comments and a couple of drinks shared after a lover's quarrel, Father of the Bride is a must-see movie for anyone (or the parents of anyone) about to tie the knot. Steve Martin's performance offers a sensitive and humorous look at family life, formal occasions, and the bittersweet struggle of hanging on while letting go.

By Marion Nestle
Food safety is a matter of intense public concern, and for good reason. Millions of annual cases of food "poisonings" raise alarm not only about the food served in restaurants and fast-food outlets but also about foods bought in supermarkets. The introduction of genetically modified foods—immediately dubbed "Frankenfoods"—only adds to the general sense of unease. Finally, the events of September 11, 2001, heightened fears by exposing the vulnerability of food and water supplies to attacks by bioterrorists. How concerned should we be about such problems? Who is responsible for preventing them? Who benefits from ignoring them? Who decides?
Marion Nestle, author of the critically acclaimed Food Politics, argues that ensuring safe food involves more than washing hands or cooking food to higher temperatures. It involves politics. When it comes to food safety, billions of dollars are at stake, and industry, government, and consumers collide over issues of values, economics, and political power—and not always in the public interest. Although the debates may appear to be about science, Nestle maintains that they really are about control: Who decides when a food is safe?
She demonstrates how powerful food industries oppose safety regulations, deny accountability, and blame consumers when something goes wrong, and how century-old laws for ensuring food safety no longer protect our food supply. Accessible, informed, and even-handed, Safe Food is for anyone who cares how food is produced and wants to know more about the real issues underlying today's headlines.

History of the Oklahoma Firefighters Museum
On April 6, 1967 a groundbreaking ceremony was held at 2716 N.E. 50th St., in Oklahoma City, where the Oklahoma State Firefighters Museum is still located today. The building was completed in 1969 and houses the Museum and the offices of the Oklahoma State Firefighters Association (OSFA), Oklahoma Fire Chiefs Association (OCFA) and the Oklahoma Retired Firefighters Association (ORFA).
The Museum contains a remarkable collection of antique fire apparatus and equipment dating back to the mid-1700s, including the first fire station built in, what was then, Oklahoma Territory in 1869. Other exhibits include the world's largest fire department patch collection and a one-of-a-kind mural, The Last Alarm. The Museum is the new home to several artifacts from the Ben Franklin Collection, a group of items representing the birth of the oldest fire department in the United States.
The Museum is one of the most outstanding facilities in the nation devoted to the preservation and display of antique fire fighting equipment and apparatus. Owned and operated by the Oklahoma State Firefighters Association, it is financed by membership dues.
Museum Curator
John Knupple was the first curator of the Firefighters Museum, serving from June 1, 1970 to Dec. 31, 1971.
In January 1972, the mantle moved to Sam Oruch (pictured at right), who at that time was an active firefighter for the Oklahoma City Fire Department. While on duty, Sam's District Chief would pick him up and drive him to the Museum where he would give visitors a tour. Sam retired from OCFD in 1978 and became the full-time Museum caretaker. He gave Museum tours for more than 33 years and is the last person to have held the title of Curator.
In 2004, Jim Sanders became the Museum Director. Jim retired from the Bethany Fire Department. Jim worked to build and improve the museum's collection and outreach.
Retired Nichols Hills firefighter Mike "Rookie" Billingsley served as Museum Director from 2006 to 2014. During his museum managing days, audiop tours were added.
Currently, The Village firefighter Gene Brown manages the museum. And he and his staff are working to continue to update and improve the Firefighter's Museum - and still offering tours in the tradition Sam Oruch began.
Museum Celebrates 40 Years
NOTE: Rookie wrote this article in 2007 to mark the 40th Anniversary of the Oklahoma Firefighters Museum
Forty years ago this year (2007), we opened the doors to the Museum.
Byron Hollander, OCFD, Stanley Hawkins, Tulsa, Don Froese, Enid, Bassill Tunnell, The Village, Jimmy Martin, Lawton, Clint Taylor, Tulsa, John Nidiffer, Miami, Wm. G. Maddux, Stillwater, Nathan Stufflebean, Pauls Valley, Ben Dancey, OCFD, Jack Sanders, Tulsa and Andy Miller, OCFD were all board members or past presidents of the OSFA board that made the museum happen.
As Executive Directors, Andy Miller, Bill Liebegott, Louis Bunch, Bob Hollander, Jim Minx, David and Chris Bain have all given their leadership through the guidance and direction of the OSFA board members over the past forty years.
Sam Oruch, John Knupple, John Esposito, Jim Sanders, Eldon Forrester, Mike Billingsley, Tippy Pierce, Jimmy Edwards and Mike Brown have all given tours over the last 40 years.
Each one has made their mark on the history of the museum. The legacy they have started and handed down is the same effort we are trying to pass on to future generations.
Comments from all over the world have been the best compliments we could receive.
"I have traveled all over the world and seen many fire museums and this is by far the best I've ever seen," says David Allero of the London Fire Brigade. That is just one of many similar compliments from the visitors who come here.
Changes made over the years are shouting, "Come and See" what's going on! We have tried to keep everyone informed about the new things happening here, but some of the "big" changes are worth talking about again.
Six years ago, the staff and volunteers worked long hours to "remodel" inside the museum. Ione and Elaine hanging wall paper, painting the stage area where Sam and Don (the horses) are and the rest of the interior walls along with Denita Bennett putting up signs like "SAM'S Blacksmithing" and "DAVE'S Café" made the museum look completely different. Taking out the entry room and moving the gift shop, "opened" the front room and made it inviting to our visitors.
The Audio Tour makes it possible to hear more than one person talk about the museum. And with the music and background sound effects, it has brought the museum to life. Visitors seem mesmerized while they listen about the history of the Oklahoma State Fire Service.
Part of our new educational theme is having fire safety messages inside and outside the museum. Outside the museum is the "Junior Firefighter Activity Center," which has been a BIG draw to the museum. You can see it from I-35, when children see it they immediately tell the adults they want to stop. They really enjoy playing on it and learning the fire safety messages that are all over it.
Flat screen TV's in the museum continually play Fire Safety DVD's. The new display stands each have a different fire safety message to share.
We are in the process of designing a "children's area" with computers full of educational software for children. The idea is to teach them our history and their safety, because we are PROUD and we CARE.
FORTY YEARS… That's a long time…
Congratulations to the Oklahoma State Firefighters Museum and to all Oklahoma Firefighters.

You may remember that upon moving into this home we did a quick and dirty makeover on our hideous kitchen– EXACTLY ONE YEAR AGO TO THIS DAY. We were going to leave it in this shabby chic glory… but then we found an oven.
It is a 1950's gas oven, left in the street, destined for the dump. We had to salvage that puppy. And, well, I guess we need a kitchen to honour it. It would just be RUDE to leave our nineties laminate flooring at it's feet, and a countrified, fake beamed ceiling at it's brow. So Tim is ripping it all out now, as I speak, thrashing around all handsome and sweaty with his sledgehammer.
We are going for the industrial vintage look, with some stand alone cupboards we found in the same place as the oven and a few other cheap, old things we have found from ebay. The original floor boards will be revealed and we have a bit of an old massive organ to use as a shelf.
At the moment it looks like a bombsite…
but soon and very soon it will look THE BOMB.
Suddenly I am filled with inspo for cooking. Like, I am EXCITED looking through recipes and getting ready to bust them out on my epic new stove. Check this caramelised onion tarte tatin or ZOMG my friend's vegetable frittata and another chum's vegetable lasagna, like, even baking which I NEVER do: Red Velvet Cupcakes, baking with apples. Sometimes when I am looking through recipes I imagine myself as the sort of awesome housekeeper that might do batch cooking and stuff. A Gas stove is perfect for firing it up for things like popcorn – which I noticed features a fair bit in my friend's Diet Chef Review, so like, y' know… HEALTHY. Although, I smother mine in butter and golden syrup…
*mouth waters*

This week students in a Writing 101 class are getting introduced to researching in the archives. They will be creating new entries in the Davidson Encyclopedia on topics related to student leisure. While the in-class exercise centered around ways students celebrated holidays, some other traditions popped up as ones we might want to revive.
One of these is Senior-Faculty Day. Granted there were only 153 members of the senior class and 47 faculty when the first day was held in April 20, 1939, which might have made it a little easier to organize. According the Davidsonian story of April 19th, the impetus for such day came from a desire on both sides "to come to a more complete understanding of the other's problems whereby more whole-hearted co-operation may be given between the two groups."
Apparently this meeting of the minds was to happen primarily through athletic contests and barbecue. Students on the planning committee included Shaw Smith (future director of the college union), Ovid Bell, and Oscar Armstrong. Although, the faculty opted to include coaches on their team, the class of 1939 won three out of four contests. The faculty managed to win at golf, while the seniors swept tennis, bowling and softball.
Despite the 1940's contest headline "Seniors Meet Faculty Foes in Athletics," goodwill prevailed and a tradition was launched. An editorial in the April 1, 1942 (not a humor issue) encouraging students to get to know faculty noted:
If after careful examination of the individual college records of each of the faculty members, the students are not convinced that they are 'regular fellows,' their showing at the Varsity-Faculty basketball game, on Senior-Faculty Day, and in the Stunt Night program should at least arouse curiosity to determine by personal contact outside the classroom the true character of the instructing staff.
The games continued until 1963 with a break during the World War II years. The return of the Senior-Faculty Day in 1946 included not only the athletic contests (now tennis, volleyball, softball, golf and horseshoes), but the picnic, a faculty skit, and a Senior-Faculty smoker (not a traditional we are likely to revive -even if they were according the Davidsonian "very, very interesting.")
By the early 1950s, student prowess had given way to the faculty's honed skills. In 1954, Coach Pete Whittle, speaking for the faculty, expressed the wish that "the seniors try make it interesting for us this time." The Davidsonian suggested that "Somehow –perhaps mindful of the approach of diploma time– the senior classes of the past two years have allowed the old-timers to claim the win.
The 1954 games were spread out over more days included golf on Monday, tennis on Wednesday, followed by volleyball and softball (also on Wednesday). The post-game meal was held at Erwin Lodge. Other years, the teams gathered at Hobart Park for hot dogs and one at least one occasion when the food preparation short, everyone convened at a local restaurant.
The games did not survive the changes of the 1960s and perhaps the senior-faculty ratio no longer works –but take a moment and just imagine today's seniors pitching a softball today's faculty

2009 Speaker of the Year, American Payroll Association, San Francisco Chapter
Paul is a member of the Bar Association of San Francisco.
Paul Lynd is a partner in Nixon Peabody's Labor and Employment group. He represents a diverse group of clients in litigation in federal and state courts, as well as before administrative agencies including the California Labor Commissioner, the U.S. Department of Labor, the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
I focus my practice on general employment matters, with an emphasis on wage and hour issues. This includes advice and strategy, development and revisions of policies and plans, litigation prevention and defending employers in individual claims and class actions. My work has included published California and federal decisions on important wage and hour issues involving bonus plans and class certification issues.
I also provide clients with advice and strategy on a range of issues, including discrimination and harassment claims, investigations, best practices and litigation prevention. Increasingly, over time, some of my particular focuses have been leave and reasonable accommodation of disability issues. These two areas have grown considerably and are issues most employers are facing today.
Wage and hour claims will persist, but differently. The issues will be more esoteric and technical. Leave and reasonable accommodation issues will continue to grow in ways many employers have not anticipated.
Paul has published articles on various legal issues affecting labor and employment issues. A partial list of his publications includes:
Paul is a frequent speaker on wage and hour issues, as well as issues concerning domestic partner benefits and policies in employment. His recent speaking engagements include:
San Francisco Labor & Employment partner Paul Lynd discusses employment lawsuits a year after California Supreme Court's landmark Brinker v. Superior Court decision holding that companies don't need to police employees to ensure they stop working during meal breaks.

Main Street's Annual Festival of Trees will take entries for a few more days.
This is a fun way for an organization, a business, a church or individual to make money for a non-profit cause. We'll take trees of almost any size including table trees, plus wreaths, centerpieces, banners and more.
We don't guarantee results, but last year every single item was sold in the silent auction.
In July, Russell Perkins and his nephew, Larry Skaggs, toured the northwest on motorcycles. The Hodgenville men spent about three weeks riding through Wyoming, Montana, Washington and Oregon to the Redwood forests in California.
They rode more than 4,300 miles and ended the tour at the Sturgis, S.D. motorcycle rally.
During a stop at the Little Big Horn Battlefield, they searched for and found the gravesite of a young man who died on the battlefield – also known as Custer's Last Stand - in 1876.
There's a difference between the public's right to know and what the public "ought to know."
It's a discussion my husband Bud and I have had several times.
Kentucky's open meetings and open records laws are near the top of the heap in comparison to other states. The Attorney General's office sides with the taxpayer nearly every time when a question arises about access to records.
But there are a few loopholes that could be filled.
Terry Cruse is the current mayor of Hodgenville and is running for another term. He has tried to be responsible, as mayor, for seeing to many changes within the city – changes for the better and beautification.
Of course, there are always some people who criticize everything, when things don't go exactly like they want. There are people who are never satisfied with anything and always complain about something or someone.
The annual "Hours of Prayer," a worldwide program, will be 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 23.
Please join in one hour of prayer for the nursing homes, various types of care centers and their residents around the world. This is the hour we can all come together as a like-minded body of Christian believers. Even though we may be far apart in location, we can become united in spirit.
Other locals around the country and the world will be praying.
I don't know how our current cycle of national elections will turn out. I do know I feel jerked around by a lot of what I have heard and read. So many statements of disconnected, incomplete and sometimes incorrect information ….
Among these:
A debt collector yelled at me this morning. I tried to yell back – but I think she hung up the phone before I got to that point.
And I think it was a debt collector. She had all the required traits – attitude, persistence, hide like a water buffalo.
The funny thing is … it wasn't my debt.
It was my morning snooze, however. I worked 16 hours Monday and another eight Tuesday – on top of the 60-or-so from the previous week – so I believed a few extra zzzzs were owed me.
I recently overheard someone say that this time of year is "homecoming time" again.
There are indeed several special opportunities and calls to look to "going home" and devoting time with loved ones: Thanksgiving and Christmas/New Year's Day as well as infrequent events: weddings, funerals, special-count birthdays, reunions of various types.

I'd love to do this! It looks so great :3
But how big is it, which board do you use? Where can I get it?
But how big is it, which board do you use? Where can I get it?
It's about 30 x 75 cm and the boards are interlocking hama bead boards from www.hamabeads.com. This picture uses colours from Hama, Perler and Nabbi bead ranges.
Thanks & good luck
Thanks & good luck
THAT, my friend, is perfection.
Thanks! It went through about a million drafts before I was happy with it
This is awesome I really like it.
Nice... I remember when there were just 3!
this is amazing omg
you're welcome man mustve been a pain to iron considering how wide it is
Not the worst one ever because at least it isn't tall (dealing with sprites trying to curl up from more than one direction is even less fun!), but yeah
lol i use a ton of textbooks and bibles to flatten out my perler sprites XD lol i always have to iron stuff multiple times over and over to get them flat XD the struggle
OMG! I love it! It is so perfect!
WOW!!!! I LOVE THIS!!!! IT IS CUTE!!!! But I'm gonna make this but with Sylveon.
Thanks I thought about adding Sylveon but these sprites are all from earlier games so she just didn't look right when I tried to include her I look forward to seeing yours though!
Sooo Cool!
I love the shit out of this, I wish I had enough time to make one for my husband for his birthday.
Thanks! They are pretty time consuming, but if you get a day off it's amazing how much you can get done if you find a TV series to marathon and bead while you're watching it
You should make an updated one with sylveon
Nah I don't have a 3DS so Sylveon's just a picture to me right now Also don't have the wall space, this thing is huge!
Aw too bad :c But this looks amazing c: I wish that I had the time to make this :<
Thanks It did take a while but if you have the space to move it (and can keep it away from kids and pets!) while you're not working on it you can do them a little bit at a time I just kept this one on a wooden board so I could move it out of the way when I was busy, and just do a little bit more whenever I got a chance
this is adorable <3
i will give you credit when i make it
i will give you credit when i make it
wow i like
Which type of beads did you use?? mini or midi? btw i think this is amazing!!
Thankyou They're midi beads, so I can use the whole Hama / Perler / Nabbi palette, especially for Nabbi light grey and light beige
this... is... awesome!!
I love it! Its amazing, and it must be huuuuge!

I am in the process of "re-imagining, re-defining, and re-positioning." I have a new title at UTS. I am now Director of Advancement and Communications. This means I now cover the areas of fund raising, alumni relations and communications. Let me try to cover all three in this article.
UTS now offers 5 degree programs:
- Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.)
- Master of Divinity (M.Div)
- Master of Arts in Religious Studies (M.A.)
- Master of Religious Education (M.R.E.)
- Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)
Note: UTS is not accepting applications for the undergraduate program at this time for the 2015-2016 academic year, because UTS does not have approval from the Department of Education to offer federal financial aid for the undergraduate program.
For more information on the graduate degree programs visit: UTS Academic Programs.
There is often the question about the value of theological training.
I like to think of UTS as a "launch-pad" ….. the launch-pad for change.
Not everyone is destined to be a church leader, a missionary, a church planter, to lead youth ministry, or be a counselor for church marriages…… Many of the UTS alumnae/i have gone on to be successful in those fields. But not all, and I would say the majority have not ended up in these areas of church leadership. Most of the UTS alumni do not put "Reverend" in front of their names.
Some alumni have become lawyers, others teach at the college level, yet others at the school level, yet others are in real estate; in management; in technology; in travel; in journalism; in music production; in health services; healing modalities; book publishing; event management; catering; architecture; graphic design………… Some drive taxis and limos. Some write poetry.
A motley crew…… But I would say ALL are leaders, just not necessarily "church leaders."
And this is not only in the USA! Alumni are spread out throughout the world involved a whole host of activities. They are simply being themselves, influencing the people around them every day, with their words, behavior and their thoughts.
So what is the value of theological training when it may look like most have careers which seem a far cry from the call of church leadership?
Let me share a few insights from Young Oon Kim who was Professor of Systematic Theology at Unification Theological Seminary from 1975-1988, and the first Unificationist on its faculty.
I will capture a few quotes, but please read the whole article which she wrote in 1977. It can be found here: My Dream Concerning Seminary Education.
"In my opinion, there is no need for another theological seminary like those the traditional churches now have. What value would there be in duplicating Harvard, Union, Chicago or Princeton? We must provide something different, something extra, a superior education for a new way of life."
"Christianity cannot be restored and the Kingdom of Heaven cannot appear on earth because you know all about the doctrines of Augustine and John Calvin, or because you have read Karl Barth and Rudolf Bultmann, or because you can tell the difference between form criticism and source criticism. Only through spiritual development based on direct confrontation with God and only through your magnetic personal quality can you become instruments God can use. As John Wesley would say, you have to get your "heart strangely warmed" and keep it warm. In the last analysis, Unification Theological Seminary will succeed or stumble on the basis of its spiritual atmosphere."
"The eagerness to help others, a genuine concern for people, a sensitivity to others' needs and a readiness to serve others — these are the ingredients which create a magnetic personality."
"In Korea, we have a proverb: 'If you plan for your life for one year, plant grain; if you plan for your life for 10 years, plant fruit trees. But if you plan for 100 years, then plant people.' "
What UTS has done, continues to do, and aims to keep doing is to "plant people" and then launch them into a waiting world.
Support for the 40/40 Campaign YOUR SEMINARY NEEDS YOU!
The 40/40 Campaign means giving $40 per month for 40 months. It is a cornerstone of support for UTS, and critically important, enabling UTS to meet its expanding commitments. Gifts to the 40/40 Campaign are unrestricted gifts from alumnae/i, friends, faculty, staff, and churches that allow UTS to provide: student aid, improved technology, new library resources, expanded services to the alumni, support guest speakers, and educational outreach events.
UTS needs your support to make sure that the spirit that Young Oon Kim describes above…. the burning desire to love others ….. that this spirit continues to be nurtured and expanded beyond UTS to alumni and yet wider still to friends and contacts.
There are several initiatives emerging around which alumni, friends and contacts can connect. Governance, Marriage Culture, Religion and Peace, Spiritual Life, and Unification Praxis, and Women Leadership. Other alumni are interested to see initiatives on public policy issues: Education, Economics and Terrorism.
The Religion and Peace initiative is exemplified in the work of the Islamic Forum (an article in UTS News this week).
The Spiritual Life initiative will be supporting a one-day seminar at Barrytown in October.
Already 30 alumni have signed up for the 40/40 Campaign. With just a month to go till the 40th Anniversary on September 20th please step up and join us. The goal is to have 200 supporters.
To sign up for the 40/40 Campaign visit Support the Seminary (there is also a link to give more or less than $40)!
