If you want your house to look perfect according to your choice or look the best among the neighbourhood properties, then you must work on it.

There are affordable solutions which can be easily applied without having to spend lot of money and one can add their personalize touches to the house and make it look the way we want.
You can take up wallpaper installation and personalize your house. It is not very costly and in fact costs less than repainting the house. It can be easily removed and one can change it each year or in a couple of years as per their choice. Every time you change it, you get a new look and feel. Therefore, it is one of the most affordable solutions to house remodelling which can be easily implemented. There are many advantages of using it for the walls instead of painting.
Advantages of using wall papers:
• Children are very demanding when it comes to their room decor and re-painting every time according to their choice is a little expensive. Therefore using kids wallpaper for the children rooms are the best available option as it will not only save money, but will also give innumerable choice in terms of colours and patterns.
• If you have any stain or marks on the walls of your house, you do not need to repaint it, instead you can cover these imperfections and hide the blemishes using them and give a new look to the house.
• If you have children in the house, it is the best option as it is very easy to maintain.
• If you buy quality product, you will find that they do not fade easily and they even retain the same beauty even after a year or so. Therefore, they are durable and have longevity.
• You can choose the ones you like according to your personal taste and imprint the walls of your house with your style and preference.
If you are planning to do the installation on your own, then you must show a lot of patience and a meticulous eye. It is important to do this carefully so that you do not end up making a mess or making it look untidy. It is better to take help from professionals as you might ruin it and end up buying a new one which will add to the cost and will also waste your time. There are thousands of designs and style available and you can choose according to your taste.

Big Sale--Save over 50% on aacorn AAC app! LIMITED TIME!
Read what Jenni had to say about aacorn AAC in her 4-star review to learn more. There is also a lot of great information on the website, to learn more before buying.
Plus, there are video lessons! Sometimes I can just read about how to use an app and then try it out, but sometimes video demonstrations are really helpful, and AAC apps fall into that category for me. So, to learn how to add new custom words, manipulate the home screen, work with categories and prune the word tree--check out the Vimeo channel. This will also let those unfamiliar with the app learn more about what it looks like before buying.
One more great thing for aacorn: all of the content is included! Most AAC apps have additional in-app purchases, but in aacorn AAC, all features are currently available for the original price, making it an even better deal!
If you're ready to buy this great app (maybe some iTunes gift card money from Christmas?) don't wait! This sale is only for a few more days!
(iPad only, $179.99 reduced to $79.99 for a limited time!)
From iTunes:
HUGE Xmas Special! Dec 24 - Jan 2 (Normally $189) Don't miss out!
"aacorn signals a revolution in the way we provide AAC support to children.. The first to really capitalize on the strengths of the iPad" - Professor Sue Fletcher-Watson (University of Edinburgh).
aacorn is the next generation assistive communication solution designed especially for non verbal and speech delayed children and recognized as a genuine break-through by parents, educators and speech therapists around the world!
Included in Apple's "Special Education" collection of recommended apps, and used by 300+ organisations worldwide, aacorn can be easily used by even the youngest or most developmentally delayed communicators.
aacorn bridges the huge gulf between PECS cards and AAC systems designed for adults. It is more engaging for children, but also incredibly powerful, making AAC more accessible to children who cannot type or spell or who find the older grid-based systems so frustrating.
Here's just some of the feedback from leading speech and language experts:
+ "aacorn is the first solution that will help to unlock a child's real potential to communicate." - Professor Sheena Reilly (Murdoch Childrens Research Institute).
+ "This innovative app really could change the way we introduce, teach and model AAC systems to early communicators." - Amanda Hartmann (SLP) Spectronics.
Why are they so excited… because aacorn is so much more than another app with buttons that speak! aacorn replaces the old grid of folders layout used by last generation apps and devices (where often children can't find the words they need), and introduces a radically improved design for children that is much easier to use.
A clean and clear system of branching pathways we call the Word Tree™. Your child makes a word choice and new branches with suggestions for the next word in a sentence present themselves AUTOMATICALLY as needed.
No More 'Hunting and Pecking' for words hidden in grids or folders! No need to be able to use a keyboard! No requirement to have an exceptional memory to find words, and no more stick figure drawings or robotic voices!! The difference is amazing!
aacorn delivers a number of world-firsts for children with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, MS, Apraxia, developmental delays or difficulty learning language...
• Learns to PREDICT what a child wants to say!
The only full communication AAC app designed for very young, developmentally delayed or pre-literate children.
• Designed especially for CHILDREN
Incredibly easy to learn and setup. Makes makes full use of the iPad (NOT mimicking old devices). aacorn is as powerful if not more powerful than aac software for adults costing many thousands of dollars.
• Adapts to ALL cognitive abilities and needs
The first 'intelligent' AAC software. aacorn recognises each child's needs and adapts itself so that even pre-literate children can make and speak everything from short phrases to highly complex sentences!
• REAL Childrens Voices
A child isn't a robot and so aacorn comes packed with actual real children's voices. Choose between boy and girl US, UK, and Australian voices, speaking very expressive words. Or you can use the built-in recording studio to record new voices.
• TEACHES Language Development
Helps children develop an understanding of language by visually modelling the relationships between words and presenting choices automatically! Allowing children to form sentences MUCH faster and expanding their vocabulary!
• Grows with YOUR Child.
Change almost anything: create new words, modify or disable existing ones, save favourites, add photos, even use the built-in drawing tools to personalise things.
Supports multiple users and cloud back-ups, no more to pay!

A recent spate of class-action suits should remind employers and HR of the steep cost of FCRA violations. Experts say the time is right for employers to reassess their background-checking processes-and the role staffing and consumer reporting agencies play in those processes.
By Mark McGraw
These days, it seems as if U. S. courtrooms are full of class-action cases involving alleged violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Consider these recent claims:
In April, Gregory Williams sued online retailer Amazon.com Inc. and staffing firm Staff Management Solutions after being turned down for a warehouse job at Amazon. Williams claims the companies violated FCRA by allegedly failing to provide job candidates with background-check results before making hiring decisions.
According to court documents, Williams-who was rejected on the basis of a felony cocaine possession conviction that turned out to be erroneous-claims Amazon and the staffing agency systematically denied potential employees the results of their background checks before hiring decisions were made, which denies applicants the opportunity to correct any mistakes that may be contained in the record.
The suit seeks class-action certification to include all individuals rejected for positions at Amazon over the past five years who did not receive copies of background checks done by any consumer reporting agencies used by Amazon in that five-year span.
A $3 million settlement was recently reached in Jeneen Brown v. Delhaize America, LLC et al., in which the plaintiffs claimed Food Lion and its parent company Delhaize America violated the FCRA requirement for "a clear and conspicuous disclosure" or "stand-alone disclosure" when a background-check report is obtained for employment purposes.
In March, plaintiff Colin Speer filed a motion in a federal Florida court, seeking class certification for another lawsuit involving a grocery chain. In the suit, Speer, a former Whole Foods employee, alleges the company's disclosure that it may procure a consumer report for employment purposes wasn't included as a stand-alone document when he applied for a job and completed an online background-information form.
Speer also claims the company required him to authorize the procurement of the report on another page, and asserts that the forms-while both are single-page documents-don't comply with the law because they must be read and analyzed together.
And, there are numbers suggesting such class-action suits centered around claims of FCRA violations are on the upswing-and are likely to keep increasing.
For example, labor law firm Littler's recent report, The Swelling Tide of Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) Class Actions: Practical Risk-Mitigating Measures for Employers, found at least 27 nationwide FCRA class actions were filed against employers as of August 2014. That number, according to Littler, roughly tripled from the year before.
There may be a few factors driving this spike, says Veena Iyer, a labor and employment attorney in the Minneapolis office of Nilan Johnson Lewis.
With respect to FCRA, the statute "has a lot of technical requirements," says Iyer. "This means there are lots of technical ways to violate the statute, and there a lot of plaintiffs' attorneys who recognize that."
Some of the most common complaints, the report noted, include claims that employers' background check disclosure forms contained language not limited to the disclosure required by the statute, the employer failed to provide a pre-adverse action notice, and the employer did not wait the right amount of time before taking final adverse action against an individual.
With respect to potential FCRA violations, where many organizations trip up-as evidenced in the aforementioned cases and the Littler report-is in how they handle adverse action notices.
Nevertheless, this part of the FCRA compliance process doesn't have to be especially difficult to understand or carry out, says Doug Kauffman, a Birmingham, Ala.-based partner in Balch & Bingham's labor and employment group.
First, he urges ensuring any and all forms provided by consumer reporting agencies are FCRA compliant, adding that employers must follow all the necessary steps in providing individuals with the required notices and information in the event a consumer report influences an employment decision.
"Do not assume that no one will challenge the information in the consumer report," continues Kauffman. "Employers who become too mechanical in the application of providing the notice of a potential adverse action, wait seven days, and then automatically send the final adverse action, may effectively skip a key requirement under FCRA to provide a meaningful opportunity to the applicant to correct any misinformation."
In terms of assessing how the organization discloses these decisions to job candidates, HR leaders frequently serve as the point person, says Rod Fliegel, a San Francisco-based shareholder and co-chair of Littler's hiring- and background-checks practice group.
He advises clients to keep things simple.
"I say less is more. We need to strip these forms down to just what they have to say, and present the information in a way that satisfies the stand-alone disclosure requirements," he says. "Getting that part of your house in order is critical in my mind."
As the Amazon case illustrates, involving a staffing agency can add a degree of difficulty for employers, says Iyer.
"It's an age-old conundrum for employers," she says. "You don't want to be too involved in the process, because that's why you went to a staffing firm in the first place."
On the other hand, "you can be on the hook for what they do, so you have to have oversight of what [the staffing agency] is doing."
The employer organization must make its expectations crystal clear to the staffing firm, she says.
"Make sure the agency knows what FCRA is, make sure it has a method for compliance, and make sure it's going to be sending the same notices to everyone," says Iyer, who recommends regular audits of the adverse-action-notification process as well.
"Pick a few people who were rejected, select a few who were hired, look at your process and see if everything was done properly."
Of course, employers can be held responsible for the actions of the staffing agencies and background-check vendors they engage.
It's a "buyer beware situation," says Kauffman.
As such, FCRA compliance "is something that an employer should review with any vendor that is involved in the employment process," he says. "In addition, employers should consider having appropriate language in their contracts with vendors, whereby the vendors represent that their processes are compliant with FCRA, and employers will be indemnified for any liability resulting from their vendors' failures."
In Kauffman's experience, employers often start with a compliant process, "but, over time, forget the reasons why forms were drafted a certain way or why processes were set up."
Companies may subsequently start making decisions based solely on administrative burden, such as combining forms and adding further language, he says, noting that the aforementioned cases are "a wake-up call for employers to go back to the basics of FCRA compliance."
Once that happens, says Kauffman, "plaintiff's attorneys will have less ammunition to fuel their claims."
In the meantime, however, expect to see the number of FCRA class-action cases to continue at a steady clip "until employers go back and review FCRA requirements and make sure they are in compliance."

Qurbana in the new chapel in the complex. The new building is a
beautiful three-storied structure, which houses the office of the MGOCSM and
the study centre and has facilities for conferences, library, etc.

,who served MGOCSM first as General secretary and later as
President for a long period and made several contributions to the growth of
this movement. It was during H.G.�s term that the students centres at
Trivandrum and Aluva took shape.
Funds to the tune of Rs.75 lakhs were raised for the construction of the new
centre. Ten percent of the total amount is being utilized to provide
scholarships to deserving students and for the purchase of sewing machines
to provide a livelihood to needy women.

violence. He emphasized that our lives should be a witness of Christ.

Most people are familiar with the phrase, "Put your money where your mouth is." It means to do something instead of just talking about doing something. People generally detest those who are guilty of talking out both sides of their mouths, a behavior of those who are two faced or who struggle with telling the truth.
Iowa's most outspoken liberal congressman, Democrat Bruce Braley, is guilty of both.
In a recent op-ed in the Cedar Rapids Gazette, Braley lambasted Mitt Romney for betting against American workers. Braley, a trained trial lawyer, is echoing the Obama campaign's attacks on Romney's business dealings. Braley also called Romney a hypocrite for saying that he will get tough on China while at the same time holding investments in Chinese companies.
Braley would seem to be the perfect attack dog for the Obama campaign if only he wasn't guilty of doing exact same thing for which he is attacking Romney.
While Braley is talking reviving manufacturing in the United States, he is investing in Chinese auto, communications, and chemical companies. Braley is invested in Brilliance China Automotive, a maker of cars and minibuses, China Zenix Auto, a company that makes wheels for commercial vehicles, and China Zhengtong Auto, a luxury car dealership that doesn't sell American brands.
Braley did support the government bailout of the auto industry, but the cash for clunkers program he also supported helped foreign car companies more than it helped the U.S. auto industry. The top-ten vehicles that were traded in as part of the program were Ford, General Motors, or Chrysler products. Seven of the top ten sellers were Toyotas, Hondas, Nissans, or Hyundais. So much for that American autoworker that Braley is always "fighting" for.
Braley's hypocrisy is not just limited to auto related companies and manufacturing. Braley also bragged in his op-ed about the Obama Administration's support of the wind industry and other forms of green energy. Once again he's saying one thing and doing another in his personal investments.
Braley holds investments in China National Offshore Oil and ChinaCoal, the second largest coal mining company in the country, which is also state owned. Not only does that not fit with Braley's green energy ways, but he also might have some explaining to do in Marshalltown, where the building of a $2 billion coal fired electricity plant was halted and local jobs lost. If it's a good investment for Braley's personal finances, it should be a good investment for a community like Marshalltown.
Braley's congressional financial disclosure shows that he is invested in the following Chinese entities.
Beijing Enterprises
Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Limited
China Bluechemical Ltd
China Coal Energy Company Limited
China Construction Bank
China Development Bank Corp.
China Life Insurance Co.
China Lumena New Materials Corp.
China Merchants Bank Co. Ltd.
China Merchants Holdings International
China Minsheng Banking Corp.
China Mobile
China Modern Dairy Holdings
China National Offshore Oil Co
China Overseas Land & Investment
China Pacific Insurance Group
China Resources Cement Holdings
China Resources Power Holdings
China Shipping Development Co.
China Taiping Insurance Holdings
China Telecom Corp
China Yurun Food Group Limited
China Zenix Auto International
China Zhengtong Auto Services
These investments are through the following funds, which are included on Braley's disclosure.
Ivy Funds Pacific Opportunities Fund
Davis New York Venture Fund
Lazard Emerging Markets Portfolio Retail
Europacific Growth Fund
Pimco Funds Total Return FD
Thornburg International Value Fund Holdings
Braley's hypocrisy isn't a surprise. This is the same Congressman who campaigns on reducing the national debt, but then votes to double the size of it and supports new entitlement programs along the way. What is surprising is how he disqualifies Romney for the same transgressions he is guilty of himself.
What's disturbing is how he misleads his constituents and that he can actually keep a straight face while spewing his hypocrisy.

Observations on 18 Undercover Tests of Enrollment Controls for Health-Care Coverage and Consumer Subsidies Provided under the Act
July 30, 2015
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) conducted undercover tests to assess the enrollment controls of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) federal Health Insurance Marketplace. The Marketplace approved 11 of the 12 fictitious applicants who received a total of $30,000 in annual advance premium tax credits, plus eligibility for lower costs at time of service.
- For 7 of the 11 fictitious applicants, the GAO intentionally did not submit all required verification documentation but their subsidized coverage was not cancelled.
- The Marketplace did not accurately record all inconsistencies.
- The Marketplace reported incorrect information for tax filing purposes for 3 of the enrollees.
- The Marketplace terminated coverage for 6 of the 11 enrollees because they lacked necessary documentation, however the GAO was able to reinstate 5 of the terminations and received increases in subsidies.
- GAO was not able to receive telephone assistance for 5 of the 6 enrollees.
To be eligible, the individual must be a U.S. citizen, not be incarcerated and they shall be determined if they are eligible for income-based subsidies. The tests included fictitious applications who provided invalid Social Security identities, noncitizens and applicants who did not provide Social Security numbers. GAO used publicly available hardware and software to produce fictitious documents to submit.
The Marketplace resolved inconsistencies that should have disqualified applicants from subsidies to allow them to continue subsidies. When reviewing documentation, the document-process contractor does not inspect for fraud because it is not equipped to do so.
A "good-faith effort" policy has been employed for applicants that have submitted at least one documentation to not cancel their policy, but this does not explain the three applicants that had no documentation but received subsidies. For three applicants there were open inconsistences related to citizenship status. GAO never submitted any citizenship documentation to the Marketplace but still had subsidized coverage restored.

Focus on Healing
Focus on Healing
with Paul Skelton and Steve Hughes
Friday 14th - Sunday 16th June. A weekend of worship, teaching and openness to the ministry of healing.
Friday 14th June 7.30pm St. Thomas', Hanwood
Saturday 15th June 10am - 1pm Hanwood School

During his talks on Acts on Action, Bishop Alistair reminded us that the healing ministry of Jesus was continued by the Apostles with the same power and authority He had. They were able to do this only because Jesus had poured out His Holy Spirit upon them. The healings and miracles they ministered, confirmed their preaching and teaching about Jesus and thousands came to believe in Him as a result.
This twin ministry of proclaiming and doing, preaching and healing continues today by the power of the Holy Spirit. Paul Skelton, Steve Hughes and others who work with them devote their lives to this ministry and it takes them all over the world. They also have a desire to encourage and help local churches to exercise the healing ministry with the love and power of God.
Report on October 2012:
Focus on Healing was a weekend event in October 2012. We gathered three times to hear Paul Skelton of "Healing on the Streets, Bath", who taught the Biblical principles of Christian healing and told us of his experiences. We were left in no doubt that God's plan for today is to express His love through healing. At each session those there were encouraged to pray for each other and several people experienced God's touch. Click here to read Michael's article on the weekend.

On Saturday afternoon about 15 of us went to the Market Square in Shrewsbury. A few chairs were put out and passers-by spoken to.
One of our number wrote:
While we were on the streets, someone in my year at my school came up in a group and asked me what was going on. I told him, and he asked if we could pray for his knee. He had a major cartilage problem, and was going to have keyhole surgery on it. It was causing him pain at the time. I decided it would be weird for me to pray for him so I asked some others to do it, and walked away for a bit. While I was gone, he was healed of the immediate pain (we don't know about the cartilage issue yet) and yelled out, "IT WORKS!"
While there are no immediate plans to go back on the street, we would be pleased to pray for anyone who is in need of healing. please use a contact form for prayer requests.

The first month stock market results are in for the new year, and President Donald Trump saw the highest first month stock performance since President lyndon B Johnson. This was no small accomplishment and something every president after Johnson has tried and failed to achieve. The stock market started its surge immediately following Trump's victory over Hillary Clinton, and have shown no signs of stopping.

Super Organisms that are super large & 1000s of years old
The Pando is the one of the largest super organism, it weighs 6,000,000 kgs. There are 47,000 trees in the colony, but it can be regarded as a single super large organism, as it shares a single root system which is 80,000 years old.
There are various clonal colonies like these, but Pando is largest single root clonal organism there is. Until the root system is completely dead, the plant will keep sprouting more trees for its survival. All the trees in the colony are clones of a single tree, making it almost a replica of others in the colony.
Siphonophores are the longest plankton. They live in huge colonies as a single complex animal.
The organisms not just live together, but are dependent on each other, they specialize in different functions and live together as one single large organism. They can grow over 50mtr in length and are longer than blue whales.
Neptune Grass or Mediterranean Tapeweed
Posidonia oceanica is one of the largest, slowest growing, and longest-lived plants.
In 2006 a huge clonal colony of neptune grass was discovered south of the island of Ibiza. At 8 km across and possibly up to 100,000 years of age, it may be one of the largest and oldest clonal colonies on Earth.
armillaria ostoyae colony largest organism in the world
Considered one of the worlds largest living organism, located in Oregon. Grows and spreads primarily underground, out of sight. Several species of fungi belong to the Armillaria genus, which is popularly known as honey fungus. They colonise and kill a variety of trees and woody plants.
This most recent find was estimated to cover over 2,200 acres (890 hectares) and be at least 2,400 years old, possibly older.
Kudzu ' The Vine that Ate the South'
Today kudzu covers about two million acres in the South and has been found throughout Florida. While this vine has been able to thrive in in unattended areas, you can do your part and keep kudzu off your property. With time, kudzu can be removed from an area and desired vegetation will be able to thrive. A single kudzu can extend to 100 feet in length, it can reproduce very easily through self cloning.
Climate in south facilitated the growth of kudzu as it became a "structural parasite" of the South, enveloping entire structures when untreated and often referred to as 'vine that ate the south'.
The Great Barrier Reef
The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest living structure, but it consist of many species of organisms. It is a coral reef, which is considered to be a single living structure consisting of many different animals from many different species that depend on each other for their survival. It is visible from outer space.

I hate cold weather - it's in the 20's today. BRR! If it's going to be this cold, the least it could do is snow a bit.
Okay, never mind. I just checked the weather for Omaha. The air temp is 5 degrees today. Suddenly 27 doesn't seem so bad anymore.

Family Finder test $89. But there are other options:
"Here are two FTDNA coupon codes to use BEFORE midnight Houston (Central) time 21 June. To use one or other, after you get to the order page (by signing into your personal FTDNA myPage and then clicking on UPGRADE in your top right hand corner). But in ADDITION to these coupons, there is also a Family Finder (FF) sale price of $89.00...
In order to use a coupon code in conjunction with this FF sale, you will need to add another test to achieve the threshold. These codes are said to be good for ANY order, so please tell your friends and relatives to join a surname project and order.
It is suggested that you "play" with the coupon codes to achieve a price that works for you:-
jam30 enables a US$30.00 reduction - I suspect the threshold is US$149
jam15p enables a 15% discount on any order - the threshold is US$98.00
Example, if you have been considering, say the BigY, then use jam15p and reduce the cost from $575 to $488.75."

sources.list - Way to determine US or UK
Hi there,
I have created a custom debian netinst USB stick. It has the default UK repositories in the sources list, but people in the US also need to use the stick from time-to-time.
Would it be a bad idea to mix US and UK repositories in the sources.list? Would Debian be clever enough to pick up the best repo depending on where the user is using the OS from? Or would I need to be a bit clever and create some sort of script to deal with this. (I am avoiding non-free/experimental software).
Many thanks,
The actual location of the repo is not important for your updates. I have mine set to some Germany mirror but I am in Greece and I never had a problem all these years.
I believe that the Debian mirrors now have a Geo Location system based on IP address.
There's a an announcement here.
Hope that helps.

Pimp your Ubuntu desktop in 7 steps!
Let's face it, the default theme on current Ubuntu releases is more aimed at the (boring) business folks: no transparency, no effects, no shiny icons and cool wallpapers.
That's why I'm going to walk you through some easy steps to customize your Ubuntu Gnome - for better usability and better looks (to impress your windows buddies?).
Ever since I started using Linux, I really enjoyed messing with the settings. I fell in love with Mac OS X Aqua look and, I recreated it on Linux. Some stuff I didn't change - such as the Finder bar, because I liked how Ubuntu handled that functionality. It's pretty easy to customize Ubuntu, there's no need for command line 'magic', just a creative eye and a couple of websites that host icon packages and the likes.
Linux, Ubuntu in this case, I found that is the most versatile when it comes to your needs, almost everything can be customized.

Two local departments have been teaming up in recent months as part of a unique and informal partnership that has drawn praise from constituents and even the Tuolumne County Civil Grand Jury.
Chief officers for both the Mi-Wuk/Sugar Pine Fire Protection District and Twain Harte Fire and Rescue Department came to a handshake agreement last February to combine forces when responding to calls, while at the same time allowing each to maintain administrative and financial autonomy.
"We're maintaining our individuality in reference to our district," said Mi-Wuk/Sugar Pine Fire Chief Randy Miller. "However, we're combining operationally to better serve the community."
What this means is that residents in both districts can expect more than double the manpower to show up at each call for service.
Now, each district keeps three firefighters on duty at all times, which includes one paid captain and two interns who are paid stipends that can range from $600 to $1,200 each month. Both engine companies respond to all calls in the two districts as part of the agreement.
"The fact that fire doubles in size every minute makes time of the essence," said Miller. "Being able to throw sufficient manpower on a fire can make the outcome more beneficial."
The effort toward "operational integration" between the two independent districts is unprecedented in the county, Miller noted.
One of the toughest challenges local districts have faced over the years has been the recruitment, training and retainment of skilled volunteer firefighters, Miller said, so the new pact was formed to help address the issue.
A 2010 study of the county's fire and first responder system found that the number of active volunteer firefighters had dropped from more than 200 decades ago to 74. The study found that the decrease led to less support at paid fire stations, diminished response at volunteer fire stations and the closure of several volunteer stations.
Twain Harte Fire and Rescue Chief Todd McNeal was hired by the Twain Harte Community Services District last October to fill the vacant position left open since 2007, and quickly identified the department's staffing issues.
He later convinced the district's board of directors to expend an additional $20,000 each year for an internship program with firefighters from Columbia College. It's now a coordinated program with the Mi-Wuk/Sugar Pine station.
"The number of active volunteers has dropped over the years and relying on that system will put you behind the curve," McNeal said.
But the cooperation between the two departments goes beyond just emergency response.
Prior to McNeal's hiring, the Twain Harte district received a federal grant worth $225,000 for the purchase of a new fire engine. McNeal decided to lease an older six-seater, four-wheel drive engine that would have otherwise collected dust to the Mi-Wuk/Sugar Pine district, which was in need of a engine for winter operations.
"For no impact to their budget whatsoever, they get an engine and it's just a phone call away when I need it," McNeal said.
The leased engine is now emblazoned with the emblems of both departments and a quote that reads: "Community protection through cooperating agencies."
The Tuolumne County Civil Grand Jury in its 2011-2012 report provided an update on recommendations for improving the county's fire services made the previous year.
The jury suggested in 2011 to consolidate the nine full-time staffed departments and roughly 10 volunteer fire stations in the county, but that recommendation was met with resistance.
In the latest report, the grand jury said it wouldn't further discuss consolidation but found "areas where progress is being made," citing the partnership efforts at the Mi-Wuk/Sugar Pine and Twain Harte fire departments.
"They schedule together and share assets which include management," the report stated. "The departments involved believe this collaboration results not only in financial savings but a more effective and efficient response to major incidents when both departments are summoned."
McNeal acknowledged the potential service improvements a countywide system could provide, but resolving the issues among the independent districts to pave the way for consolidation would likely take long time.
"There's no question that if we went to a countywide service then the services provided would be greater, but we didn't want to wait," he said. "We wanted to perfect change right now."

The 21-year-old has said she will not testify against him in court after rekindling their romance to the dismay of her family.
Prosecutors in Los Angeles will be asked to decide if the case against Brown, 19, is strong enough to proceed without her testimony.
A file on the case, including Rihanna's original statement to police as well as witness accounts, will be handed to the Los Angeles County District Attorney later this week.
California law allows prosecutors to charge an individual with domestic violence, even if the couple reunites.
Brown, who is also a singer, was said to have beaten Barbados-born Rihanna in a row following a party the night before the Grammy Awards on February 8.
Shocking pictures emerged of her injuries including bruises to her eyes, nose and cheek and a swollen mouth.
The couple are reported to have been reunited during a stay at the Miami home of rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs.
Fans of Rihanna, from Barbados, have launched a website, dontdoitrihanna.com, urging her to reconsider. It says: "We the undersigned feel Chris Brown should not get another chance and Rihanna should move on." One comment posted said: "You are supposed to be a role model. Would you tell your fans to do this?"
Paparazzi agencies say the first picture of the couple together again, three weeks after the alleged assault, would fetch at least £60,000.

Can Cameron find what he's looking for?
All 16-year-old Cameron wants is to get through high school-and life in general-with a minimum of effort. It's not a lot to ask. But that's before he's given some bad news: he's sick and he's going to die. Which totally sucks. Hope arrives in the winged form of Dulcie, a loopy punk angel/possible hallucination with a bad sugar habit. She tells Cam there is a cure-if he's willing to go in search of it. With the help of a death-obsessed, video-gaming dwarf and a yard gnome, Cam sets off on the mother of all road trips through a twisted America into the heart of what matters most.
From the Hardcover edition.
…manages to turn a hopeless situation into a hilarious and hallucinatory quest, featuring an asthmatic teenage dwarf, Gonzo; a pink-haired angel in combat boots, Dulcie; and Balder, a Norse god who is cursed with the form of a garden gnome…Libba Bray not only breaks the mold of the ubiquitous dying-teenager genreshe smashes it and grinds the tiny pieces into the sidewalk. For the record, I'd go anywhere she wanted to take me.

Sky Sports presenter Charlotte Jackson and Wales manager Chris Coleman welcome baby daughter
Sky Sports presenter Charlotte Jackson and her husband, Wales football manager Chris Coleman, are celebrating the birth of their second child together.
Charlotte (37) gave birth to a baby girl on Saturday afternoon and announced the arrival shortly afterwards on Twitter.
The Sky Sports presenter tweeted: "Eventually our little girl made an appearance this lunchtime - 9lbs 1 oz and was worth the wait! Yet to be named."
She had been spotted cheering on Wales during Euro 2016 and it had been feared the baby could have been born during the later stages of the tournament.
Eventually our little girl made an appearance this lunchtime - 9lbs 1 oz and was worth the wait! yet to be named— Charlotte Coleman (@CharLouJackson) August 13, 2016
The couple, who married last year, already have one son together, 18-month-old Finlay, while Coleman also has four older children with his first wife.
Coleman, who played for Swansea City, Fulham and Crystal Palace, became a national hero this summer after guiding Wales to the semi-finals of Euro 2016 at their first appearance at a major tournament for 58 years.

A product of the Motor City.
Raised between Midwest values and Southern hospitality. I graduated from East Carolina University with a B.F.A. in Graphic Design. I have worked in both agencies small and large. With a client base from mom & pop to the Queen of Pop.
I am currently employeed at Pryor Design Co. based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Living in Cary, North Carolina with 1 wife, 2 dogs, and 3 cats. When not obsessing over the details, I can be found combing through thrift stores or the flea market for inspiration.
I appreciate great design in all things graphic, product, and architectural. Somewhat of a video game hoarder and sci-tech junkie. On the weekends I enjoy watching the Lions

text: I just got Dead Island because it was like $20 and I had heard good things about it. I started playing the past couple of days, but I messed up using my skill points, and I would like to reallocate them. All I want is the same save with the same level with the same items with the same story progression/quest completion, but all of my skill points unspent, so I can spend them in a better way. Thanks. Edit: If anyone knows how to do this without modding, I would love to hear it. Also, if someone has this game and would like to help me, I could just join your game, give you my items, and join back in with another character who I have modded to be the same level. you could just give me the items back and I would play as the new character instead.
