UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 23 (UPI) -- U.S. President Obama, in New York for talks at the United Nations, promised help to Kenya and Nigeria, two nations struck by terror in the last few days.
Earlier, the White House left open the possibility Obama could meet with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. Both are scheduled to address the U.N. General Assembly Tuesday.
On the terror front, at least 161 people near a northeastern Nigeria town are believed dead from a terrorist attack after 87 more bodies were found Friday, officials said.
Fifty-five other bodies were found Wednesday along a road in Borno State after an attack by suspected Boko Haram gunmen last week, Abuja's Daily Trust reported.
In Kenya, fires set by gunmen inside Nairobi's Westgate Mall were brought under control Monday as Kenyan authorities secured the building where at least 62 people died in a terror attack during the weekend.
Joined by other officials, Obama and Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan spoke to reporters Monday about the relationship between the two countries.
Obama said the relationship included helping Nigeria improve its rural electrification and making sure Nigerian elections in 2015 are democratic.
Obama said the United States wants to help Nigeria deal with threats in the north of the country in a way that doesn't violate human rights. Obama cited Boko Haram, "one of the most vicious terrorist organizations in the world."
On the al-Shabaab terror attack in Nairobi, Obama said: "We stand with them against this terrible outrage that's occurred, we will provide them with whatever law enforcement help that is necessary. ... The United States will continue to work with the entire continent of Africa and around the world to make sure that we are dismantling these networks of destruction."
Both presidents offered condolences to Kenya.
Jonathan said he appreciated help from the United States to help stabilize his country and the continent. Nigeria is Africa's second largest economy and Africa's largest trading partner with the United States.
"For you to fix the world , you must fix Africa. For you to fix Africa, you must fix Nigeria," Jonathan told Obama.
White House deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes told reporters ahead of Obama's scheduled arrival in New York no meeting had been scheduled with Rouhani, whose arrival time was not immediately clear.
"The fact of the matter is, we don't have a meeting scheduled with President Rouhani," Rhodes told reporters in a conference call. "But again, we're always open to diplomacy if we believe it can advance our objectives. And in this instance, our objective is an Iran that meets its international obligations."
Those obligations include demonstrating its nuclear program is exclusively for peaceful purposes, he said.
Washington contends Tehran is well along toward developing an atomic weapons program.
Obama and Rouhani are to address the U.N. General Assembly's annual meeting within hours of each other Tuesday. This has raised speculation of the first face-to-face exchange between a U.S. and Iranian leader since President Jimmy Carter met with Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in December 1977, 14 months before Iran's Islamic Revolution.
Rhodes said Obama has expressed his willingness since his 2007 pre-election campaign to have meetings directly with Iran with no preconditions if he saw an opportunity for progress.
Rouhani has said he is ready to meet with no preconditions.

Each Cub Scout has a handbook to help them along their trail. Tiger Cubs use the Tiger Cub Handbook with activities in the Den, at home, and in the community. Wolf Cubs have a handbook that will help them along the Wolf Trail where they learn more about themselves and their families. Bear Cubs have a handbook that takes them even further,but they get to choose the achievements they complete. Webelos have a larger handbook with 20 Activity Badges they can work on in the 2 years they are Webelos.
Another good source of information for Cub Scouts is the magazine BSA published 12 times each year. This is the Boys' Life magazine. It is full of stories, games, jokes, and letters that are fun to read. You will be learning new things while reading. This is one magazine your teacher will not mind you reading at school, once your work is done.
Cub Scout Tiger Cub HandbookThis book for first-grade boys and their adult partners tells about the Tiger Cub program and gives information about dens, leaders, uniforms, and advancement.
Cub Scout Wolf HandbookSecond-grade boys use this book as they move along the trail to earn their Wolf badge.
Cub Scout Bear HandbookBoys in the third grade do the achievements in this book to earn their Bear badge.
Cub Scout Webelos HandbookBoys who are in the fourth or fifth grade use this handbook as Webelos Scouts. Everything in the Webelos Scout program is more challenging than what younger boys in the pack do.
Boys' Life MagazineBoys' Life is the magazine for all boys. The Boys' Life Web site has information about the current issue, games to play, projects to download, and more.

8/24/11 Diamonbacks at Nationals: Nationals Park
This was now the second game of the series that was supposed to redeem my horrible roadtrip and I did get a total that was like triple my average on that trip but the day was an overall failure. I did bring my camera and took pictures with it but later realized that I had taken them without the memory card and I had lost them forever. So, I will just write up my bp and the pictures will come during the game portion of the entry. Here it goes:
I went immediately up to the second deck in Right Field which was absolutely empty. Within five minutes of me getting there three Rick Ankiel Home Runs came up there. I ended up with one. The first hit in the seats to my right and I kind of lolligagged to it because I was the only one in the section but the ball bounced back onto the field. It was semi-catchable but that's not the worst part. Had I run after that ball I would have been in postion to catch a ball he hit on the very next pitch except further to the right. That one also bounced back onto the field. Ankiel then hit a third ball back to my left and this time it stuck in the seats. I went over and grabbed that ball. Sadly, I quickly forgot that I snagged that ball because I was still moping about the previous two so keep this fact in mind. I didn't get any toss-ups from the pitchers even though I was the only one because they now recognized me. I mean the same kid in the same Nationals hat and shirt every game really isn't that hard to spot/recognize but it only occurred to me after the game.
Ankiel & rest of group then finish their session and Ankiel went out to shag in Right Field. I asked him for a bseball and he said some obscure words I couldn't make out and I asked him to repeat. "Make a muscle." He said. I then held my cotton clad arm and he tossed me my second ball of the day.
My third ball of the day can be explained in two words: Todd Coffey. Well maybe not but the story goes that Todd Coffey likes to throw a baseball and likes to throw them random distances. When the pitchers finished a drill where they ran routes like a Wide Receiver, Todd Coffey took those seven baseballs and just threw them to random spots in the stands. He threw one to the upper deck, a few in foul territory (later pocketed by ushers), and most of them in the second deck where I was standing. One of those that he threw to the second deck was on the fly:
The bright red arrow is where I caught the ball and the fainter red circle points out a part of the stadium called the Miller Light Scoreboard Walk. It is like a bar section where there are discounted beers before every game and is part of the reason why the Upper Right field seats are so empty. Most people don't go up there because of baseballs and those who do are more inclined to get turned off by all the people drinking. Anyway, that's not why I bring it up here, the reason that I bring it up is because most of the balls launched to the second deck went there where it was funny to see a baseball go into a crowd of people that were drinking and see what happened when they realized the fact. Suffice to say, Chaos insumed. I marked that ball #198 because I forgot that I had gotten the Ankiel homer and so I thought my next ball was going to be #199 when in fact it was #200.
#200 came when a Nationals lefty hit a ball to my left and an usher with whom Alex Kopp and Garrett Meyer have had problems with raced me to the ball. I beat her to it but she said she wanted to give it to someone. For the prospect of better ballhawk relationships I gave it to her not realizing that it was infact #200 and asked her who the ball was for she got someone caught off guard. I want to assume that it was because she thought of ballhawks as vile filth that only care about themselves and wouldn't ask that question but she regained her composure within a second and answered that it was for her niece. She then asked me what I did with all the baseballs I got. I responded that I gave away about 1/3 to kids (Would you say this is about accurate? I actually used to give away more before the blog but since I like to keep enough to make for a good picture at the end of the entry) got about 1/6 signed (again used to do this a lot more last year because I wasn't as focused on getting the balls themselves), and then kept the rest just in different places in my apartment (this is definitely true I have no idea what is going to happen with baseballs if I catch like 200 in a season. Most of the balls from this year are in unused bags because the filing cabinet I have is filled to the brim.) Soon after this, bp ended and the cages got pulled away. I had a clue why. While talking to a fan yesterday waiting in line for the gates to open, I found out that had the stadium opened on time, the Diamondbacks would not be taking bp in favor of fielding practice.
Sure enough, the Diamonbacks showed up for fielding practice and there were zero snagging opportunities until the Diamondbacks finished and when they did, they didn't toss anything up to the only Diamonbacks "fan" within a mile of the dugout. I have no problem with fielding practice taking place AFTER bp but I just don't understand why you have to cancel bp to make this happen. I however, am in no position to criticize, the Diamonbacks had been hitting wretchedly until that point and this series was the start of a run that separated them from the Giants in the NL West and will propbably get them into the playoffs. It just makes no sense to my limited knowledge of baseball. This was actually a first for me in that I bought seats on both sides of the Outfield. If you were following this adventure on the blog's twitter account, you know that I was absolutely exhausted by the fifth inning. I repeat, THE FIFTH INNING. If I'm not mistaken, the reason I did this was because there were two righties on the hill and the established players on both teams (Justin Upton, Chris Young, Michael Morse, Ryan Zimmerman etc) were pure righties but had plenty of power lefties/switch hitters that almost only came in/hit lefty when there was a righty on the hill (Rick Ankiel, Danny Espinosa, Laynce Nix, Miguel Montero) those names but might be accurate but the point is the line-up was very mixed when it came to righties and lefties. The Diamondbacks were the main cause of my exhaustion as Kirk Gibson thought it would be funny to see me run back and forth all night and stacked his lineup in the Righty-Lefty format. The Nationals almost did the same thing but they had a pocket of righties at the middle of the order because those were the players that belonged at the middle of the order.
I ended up so exhauted that I had to do a bit of guess work and just guess which hitters were more likely to hit a Home Run than the others. Had I actually followed the lineup, there would have been many a time that I started running to one side of the OF and a batter change would cause me to turn around the other way. On average, if I left right as the first batter got out, I got to the other side of the OF by the second pitche of the second batter's At-Bat.
I didn't catch anything but came within 20 feet of Laynce NIx's 9th inning Home Run and got a ball after the game ended from the Diamondbacks' bullpen catcher, Jeff Motuzas:
I also managed to snag a bag of peanuts from a couple who bought two bags but didn't have room for the second:
Or as it is known in the dictionary Observing Baseball edition, dinner. I am glad I had something to eat because this self-portrait sums up best how I was feeling a the moment:
Is it okay with everyone if I don't write up the stats for the rest of the season? It has been uneventful to say the least and I am really more concerned with getting the entries up first than puting up my stats. If it is really important to you to see my stats, the best place to look at them by far is my mygameballs.com profile page which is linked to on the side bar on the right side of the screen and has better statistical categories than any I can think of—–>

text: Hi - As I've already posted, OCI has been a bust for me. Applied to 8; 2 callbacks; 1 rejection, 1 waitlist. I know it's been a tough year for recruiting but I am ranked 5th in my class, CALI awards, Law Review, great work experience. I go to a T3 regional school (very well regarded) and have only applied to regional firms. I have been feeling a little sorry for myself, but clearly I am not alone.What I did find out today, though is that out of the top 5 students at my school, we have made around 40 applications and only received 3 offers. That's not an average of three per student - that's three from the 40 applications. We all have Law Review, CALI awards, relevant work experience and we're personable and confident. However, we are all over 30 ("second-career students" I believe they call us!) and are part-time, evening students.One of our number (one with an offer, incidentally) is convinced that the odds have been stacked against us from day one, and that these firms are looking for 24 year olds who can work 70 hours a week, have fewer family commitments and are more "pliable", as it were. I'm not sure. Frankly, knowing that it may have been a waste of time from day one is no more comforting than thinking that I may just have blown every interview so far. Either way, it certainly stings to be surrounded by less stellar (on paper, anyway) people who are juggling 4, 5, 6 offers. Has anyone else got any opinions/insight into this?

Why are the battery charge LEDs flashing on a Smart-UPS?
Battery Charge LED Bar Graph is flashing in unison.
Product line:
Smart-UPS, Smart-UPS Online
All Smart-UPS models with model numbers that begin with SU, SUA, SUM, SURT
All serial numbers
When operating on line, the runtime remaining (calculated by the Smart-UPS microprocessor) must be AT LEAST two minutes more than the low battery signal warning time.
If the UPS calculates the runtime remaining as being less than 2 minutes more than the low battery signal time, the battery charge graph LEDs will flash
Option 1:
Reset the low battery signal time to a lesser value. Take for example a Smart-UPS with 15 minutes of runtime at full charge, and with the low battery signal warning time set for 7 minutes. If runtime remaining is 8 minutes or less , then the battery bar graph LEDs will flash in unison. Try setting the low battery signal warning time to a lesser value through the Configuration menu and then the UPS Shutdown Parameters submenu of PowerChute plus. Two minutes is the lowest setting option available. Please keep in mind that when using PowerChute Business Edition server and console, the low battery signal time is set to 5 minutes and cannot be changed.
Option 2:
Reduce the load or replace the battery. The firmware inside a Smart-UPS is designed to last for years, yet the batteries are consumable items. As the batteries age, they lose their ability to hold a charge and therefore available runtime will decrease over time. Once the runtime remaining is within 2 minutes of the low battery signal warning time, the battery charge LEDs will begin to flash and PowerChute software / SmartSlot accessories will report that the ""UPS batteries are discharged"", even if the battery is at 100% capacity. In the case of an older unit running with a heavy load, try reducing the attached load. If the unit is an XL (Extended Run) model, then try adding an additional battery pack. Typical battery life is 3 - 6 years. If you have an older UPS, try replacing the battery. XL battery packs and replacement battery cartridges are available for purchase on our website at
Option 3:
Perform a Manual Runtime Calibration. This is a manual procedure and should not be confused with the runtime calibration performed through PowerChute software. The batteries inside of the Smart-UPS are controlled by a microprocessor within the UPS. Sometimes it is necessary to reset this microprocessor, especially after the installation of new batteries.
Note: Before beginning the calibration make sure the UPS has been online and charging for at leat 24 hours for just the UPS or 48 hours for a UPS with external batteries.
Stop the PowerChute software from running and disconnect the serial cable.
There must be at least a 30% load attached to the UPS during this procedure, and this load cannot fluctuate more than +/- 5%. This process will cause the UPS to shut off and cut power to its outlets, therefore, attach a non-critical load to the UPS and then force the UPS on battery by disconnecting it from utility power.
Allow the unit to run on battery until it turns off completely. Make sure a 30% load or greater is present!
Plug the UPS back into the wall outlet and allow it to recharge (it will recharge more quickly turned off and with no load present). Once the unit has recharged, the ""runtime remaining"" calculation should be more accurate. Remember that if the unit is an older model, then the runtime will not improve significantly.
Should the previous steps not resolve the issue contact APC support at 800.890.4272 for further assistance.
Theory of Operation:
An APC Smart-UPS has a microprocessor which calculates runtime primarily based on the load attached to the UPS and on its battery capacity. On the right side of the front display panel there is a vertical graph of five LEDs. Each LED is an indication of battery charge in increments of (approximately) twenty percent: 20, 40, 60, 80, 100% (bottom to top). For example, if the battery charge is 95%, then only four of the five LEDs are illuminated. To ensure that an operating system receives a graceful shutdown when using PowerChute plus or a SmartSlot accessory, an alert is generated by the Smart-UPS indicating that the UPS has reached a low battery condition. The alert is audible (rapid beeping), visual (flashing battery LED or LEDs), and readable through the graphical interface of PowerChute software (or a native UPS shutdown program within a particular operating system.) In order to calculate this "low battery condition," all Smart-UPS products have a default low battery signal warning time of two or two and a half minutes. Users may adjust this threshold (Via Powerchute or a Network management Card) higher if their load needs more time to shutdown gracefully. If the low battery signal warning time is set for 2 minutes, then the alerts will activate simultaneously two minutes prior to shutdown. Similarly, if the total runtime for a particular UPS is 30 minutes with a low battery signal warning time set at 10 minutes, then the UPS will run on battery for 20 minutes before the low battery alert begins. Total runtime is primarily based on two factors, battery capacity and UPS load. UPS load and runtime on battery are inversely proportional: as load increases, battery runtime decreases and vice versa. When utility power is lost, the UPS begins discharging the battery in order to support the attached load. Once power returns, the Smart-UPS will automatically begin to recharge its battery.

For those of you with partners that enjoy shooting.
This may be too personal of a question for some, but I was wondering how some of you met your significant other. Was it at a gun show, through friends, just happened to be there at the right time at the right range.
I sadly can count only one hand the amount of women that I know of that are interested with recreational shooting and target practice. Most women I meet tend to be intimidated by firearms in general (I blame the media and general lack of knowledge on the subject matter for this)
Many that I meed flat out think that fire arms should be banned or extremely regulated (Which again I feel is attributed to lack of knowledge)
There are those few gems that I do find, but the shooters world certainly appears to be a male dominated sport.
If your partner didn't start off with an interest in firearms, how did you introduce them to it to them, was it just a casual trip to the range with some friends or did she suggest it?
No particular reason for asking, just curious I look forward to hearing what some of you say.

I've had several GFs that were neutral or slightly anti. As relationships progress it's nearly inevitable that you take at least a little interest in the other's hobbies. I convinced most to at least learn about guns and shooting. More often than not, once they learned and I got them to the range, they became the ones asking when we could go shooting again.

My wife was in the Army Reserves when I met her in college. She certainly wasn't anti guns or anti hunting, but really didn't care about them. She would go shooting with me if I asked, and with handguns she would beat me every time but never seemed enthused by it. When she came back from a deployment to Kosovo I got her into shooting small game and later that year she decided she wanted to go deer hunting and would I please find her a rifle to do so with? Heck Yeah! Off to the gun show, came out with a Ruger 77 MKII and a used Redfield 3-9X scope. I worked up some mild 100 grain handloads that it really liked and was right next to her when she shot her very first deer!
I would say take her with you with the intent of lettng her have fun, meaning low recoil, low noise, not too long at a time. Have some reactive targets, I use a lot of what we call "hedge-apples" they explode fantastically and decompose quickly, plastic bottles of water are good too, just have to pick up the empties. Clay targets hanging on nails or even GI Joe type figurines at short range are a lot of fun. If she likes the shooting take her anytime she wants to, if she expresses a desire to hunt take her. I have since lost my only decent stand to her hunting but have never regretted it.

Met mine at a country store deli up top gun shop downstairs. After a hard morning of shooting the bull with my gunsmith buddy i went up to get us some lunch. There she was, the rest is history.
I've gotten her an entire cowgirl setup, from 6 gun leather to ruger single6 hat boots, she loves it. And we do go to the range together so she can make me look bad too.

I met my wife while I was working for her Dad (breaking horses)...he's the reason she likes guns and shooting though...she had 2 shotguns, 3 rifles, and 2 pistols when I met her
Her Dad and I were discussing shooting groundhogs and coyotes when she walked up and jumped right in on the conversation...I've been head over heels ever since.
Here she is trying to decide which shoes match her 45...
And some pre-season practice with her 270...she hits what she aims at!

I met my GF at a completely non-firearms related function; and prior to knowing me she had never even held, much less fired, a gun.
However she was by no means anti...heck she wasn't even neutral. When she was going through some pictures and saw a picture of me hunting with my dog she asked when I was going to take her
I responded to that by saying, "well first we have to teach you how to shoot a gun" just to see how she would respond. She snapped back, "Well I have all day, when are you free?" .....
Anyways, now she has shot each of my guns, and prefers my M&P9 for handguns, my AR for rifles (we found out that the .308 is too much unless we use the reduced loads), and she likes the Beretta 391 Urika 2 Gold Sporting for shotguns. That shotgun has a shortened stock and a 26" ported barrel. It is a fantastic gun.....but as soon as I saw the look on her face when she broke a clay on her first shot I knew that I was not going to get to shoot it much more

For the most part, women are not interested in firearms. Usually it is the way they are brought up. Those that are brought up around firearms and are encouraged to participate usually become avid members. I have had 4 wives and only one was interested. She grew up around them and her father would take her hunting. We raised 3 daughters and spent 24 years together. All three daughters like to hunt and got to the range too. My youngest daughter (#4) loves to shoot but her mother dosnt care about it at all.
No such thing as a stupid question. What is stupid is not asking it.

doesn't care about it, goes along to humor me. She knows basic safety and does shot some clays and .22.
She got her horses and dogs (great for me because she trains our dogs)

My wife was a refugee from a war zone so she initially did not like guns... but she did not fear them or hate them either.
When we started dating I told her to always walk on my left side as I carried a pistol on my right side and she did not have any problem with that and said she actually felt safer. Soon after I took her out to watch me shoot one of our local IPSC matches and she enjoyed it so I took her to watch me shoot a bowling pin match, followed by steel match, high power rifle match and rimfire match. She became regular at our matches and she started helping out with a lot of back ground stuff. I never pushed or even asked her if she wanted to shoot but after about two year she asked me to take her shooting and teach her. After we got married we would go shooting together almost weekly.
That was many moons ago (25+ years) and now she has a gun safe of her own with filled with dozens of rifles, shotguns, pistols, revolvers and even a derringer. She has more holsters than shoes in her closet. She has a carry permit and carries a Colt Officer model in 45ACP daily in her purse or in her Dillon brief case. When out in the woods she'll carry her Commander in 38 Super in a belt holster. She is small so she can not handle heavy recoiling guns but she can manage her heavy barreled .260 target rifle or 1911A1 45ACP without problem. She and I shoot local IDPA, IPSC and highpower rifle matches regularly. We even attend shooting classes/schools together occasionally.
She does not hunt but she comes hunting with me to take care of the camp and cook. She'll even sit out at the stand with me on occasion when the weather is nice... but she doesn't shoot any animal. She does buy hunting license every year along with deer permit.
I guess I'm luck to have found her.

I met my wife cause she lived with her parents, who are my brothers neighbors. She was raised with guns in the house, and her dad going hunting, and did shoot occasionally when she was younger, but was never really into them until we started dating.
I would have been ok if she didn't want to shoot with me, as long as she understood that the target shooting, hunting, and reloading is something i enjoy, and I have no plans to give it up.
She never hated guns, just had other hobbies and interests that she prefered at the time. Her dad has been a LEO for about 25 years now, the last few as a Lieutenant in their Detective division (was also officer in charge of the SWAT team for several years), and used to take her to the range and shoot M4's, Galil's, all the AK variants you can think of, highpowered rifles, and all kinds of pistols and shotguns. She said she had lots of fun doing it, but it sounds like it was just something to do with her dad at that time, instead of something she was really into herself.
She started shooting again when we started dating (think it was our 3rd or 4th "date"), and even bought two pistols of her own before we got married, and is now looking at getting her own shotgun. She started going more regularly until problems during pregnancy with out daughter forced her into pretty much a bedrest situtation. Now that our daughter is here and a few months old, she is looking to get out and shoot more.

My wife likes to go, not as much as I do, but she likes shooting and hunting.
So far I have gotten her to take an antelope and a pretty nice mule deer.
Just picked her up a Ruger American in 243 last week
The best shot I ever made was an accident

Thank you for sharing your stories so far everyone, it's really cool hearing how some of ya'll met your significant others.
Oh and congratulations on the little one Crankylove, one of my best friends is expecting his third I think come sometime late spring of 2013.
I've yet to find someone (or they've yet to find me, heh) who shares a passion for firearms and target shooting, hopefully someday.
Would love to hear more from ya'll here on TFL!

Thanks Kimio, it's definitely a change, but I am glad she's here.
I have already started introducing her to my hobby, starting with a picture of her and my 5" Kimber (which she is named after, for some reason the wife didn't like Remmington, Ruger, Browning, or Winchester.......but decided Kimber was ok ) when she was about a month old, and I recently discovered that a ziplock baggie of deprimed and sized .38 Specials makes a great rattle for her.
She has watched a couple reloading sessions so far, but doesn't really seem to be interested in that yet..........but 5 months old may be a little young for that still.

Met my girlfriend in chemistry class, when i met her she was not into guns per se but she had shot a few and even had around 10 old guns under her bed from her late grandfather that she had never shot. I took her shooting on around our 5th date or so. She likes to shoot as long as its not to hot so I guess I'm just lucky that she was open to the idea when I met her.

My wife is up for trying about anything. When we started dating 35 years ago, I asked her if she wanted to go shooting and she said, "Sure."
So, she started going out with me when I went shooting with friends. Over the years I've gotten her a number of revolvers and semi-autos. She has her own key to the gate at the shooting club - and shoots action pistol competition every two weeks. She helps with the 2x yearly women's introduction to pistols class, and is angling on training to become an NRA certified pistol instructor.
The only thing she doesn't like is cleaning and lubricating the guns....I take care of that for her. I also take care of her woodchipper and chainsaw...yeah...she wanted that stuff too...

I blame the media and general lack of information for peoples hatred of guns. I try to offer information if the individual is open minded enough to listen, sadly, many people I talk to are not. They're either indifferent or are against them. Only a handful of my friends have changed or were fans of the sport to begin with.

I bet some (many) ladies are gunshy cause some jacka55 'pulled a trick' on her or a friend-like giving her a 357 and saying-It dont kick!!!
Start em out with ear protection, 22 LR (single shot rifle) and you will have a shooting friend. She will graduate to 22 handgun very easily in about 4 range sessions.

I love to write. I love to read. I love to read about writing. I love to hang out with writers. It becomes a way of life.
In her book Julia Cameron suggests a practice called "morning pages." First thing in the morning I write three pages in a journal on whatever comes to mind. I keep my hand moving and don't worry about grammar, punctuation or spelling. I don't worry about it making sense. I just write. Over the years it has become such a part of me to unload, drain, practice in this way that my husband can tell when I haven't been doing it. It keeps me sane and in touch with my feelings.
I continue by writing during the day. Memoirs, family stories, poems or just fiction stories that come to mind. I write in my writer's group. I write this blog. I write articles on Arizona history and the second edition of my book.
It is a proven fact that journaling is beneficial in all types of mental and emotional wellness. People are told to write letters to family members who have passed on. To write about disturbing childhood memories. Why not write about good things too? It is also proven that the more you write the more you remember. Each layer of memories peels off to reveal more memories.
Today, start writing down the family stories, your own stories. Write them for the future. Also, write about yourself and your life for you. Keep the hand moving. Pen or pencil and paper is all you need.
I remember fishing at Greene's. We had to pass through a number of gates to get to the creek. At each one Granddad got out of the car, opened the pasture gate, got back in, drove through, got out and closed the gate just to drive on to the next gate.
We mostly caught catfish and sometimes bony perch. One time Granddad let up a whoop that practically echoed off the hills. He'd caught a snapping turtle. I don't remember what all happened but I do remember my mother cleaning the fish, the turtle and some frogs. We didn't have to go to France for frog legs.
Some of my favorite books on creativity and writing:
Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg
On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King
The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron
Zen in the Art of Writing: Releasing the Creative Genius Within You by Ray Bradbury

Coach Kemp eyeing 250th career win Monday vs. Mercer
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 30, 2011) - The ETSU women's basketball team looks to end its five-game homestand with a perfect mark Monday evening when the Lady Bucs host Mercer. Tip is set for 4:45 p.m. inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic.
After having seniors Latisha Belcher (Martinsville, Va.) and Tara Davis (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) reach the 1,000-point milestone in back-to-back wins over USC Upstate and Kennesaw State, head coach Karen Kemp is eyeing a milestone of her own Monday. Kemp, who is averaging over 20 wins a year over the last five seasons, is in search of her 250th career victory Monday evening.
ETSU (12-9, 9-3) has won its first four games of this long home stretch and a win Monday would push the Lady Bucs' winning streak to a season-long five straight. The Blue and Gold are coming off an 85-61 victory over Kennesaw State on Saturday afternoon, where the Lady Bucs used a strong second-half effort to dismantle the Owls. ETSU outscored Kennesaw State, 57-36, in the final 20 minutes; while Davis led the way with 21 points en route to becoming the 19th player in Lady Buc history to eclipse the 1,000-point barrier. Along with Davis, freshman Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.) continued her dominating efforts as she recorded her eighth double-double, finishing with 17 points, 13 rebounds and five steals.
Mercer (1-19, 1-10) is coming off a 64-53 loss at USC Upstate Saturday evening in Spartanburg. The Bears led by four at the half, but were outscored by 15 in the second half to endure their 14 consecutive defeat.
Freshman guard Briana Williams, who scored a team-high 17 points at Upstate, leads the club with 19.8 points per game in 11 conference games. Williams holds the single-game record for most points scored this season with her 41-point effort against Jacksonville back on Jan. 24. Meanwhile, as a team, Mercer ranks tenth in both scoring offense (60.5) and scoring defense (71.5), while ETSU leads the league in scoring offense (73.6) and ranks fourth in defense (63.5).
The Lady Bucs defeated Mercer 83-68 earlier this month in Macon, Ga. Davis, Mitchell and junior guard Natalie Pickwell (Kingsport, Tenn.) combined 76 percent of ETSU's points as Davis led the way with 23. Mitchell added another double-double - finishing with 22 pionts and 12 rebounds - while Pickwell scored 18 points on 4-of-8 shooting from beyond the arc. ETSU, who leads the all-time series 11-9, is searching for its second consecutive series sweep over the Bears.
ETSU students who attend Monday's game have the chance to sign up and register for the chance to win $50 cash. The winner will be announced during the second half and they have to be in attendance to be eligible for the prize. Also, students who sign up at every home game will have a chance to win a prize pack at the end of the season.
Monday is also "Book the Bears Day." Fans who donate a new or fairly new children's book will receive admission for just a $1. All of the books will be donated to the Reach Out and Read site, with ETSU Physicians and Associates.
Fans unable to make the trip to the Dome can listen to all the action on WXSM-AM 640 as Voice of the Lady Bucs John Stevens will carry the play-by-play. Live video streaming will also be available on A-Sun.TV, while live stats will be offered via Gametracker.

Secret Formula for Jane Seymour's Bond Girl Beauty
Marie Ferro, owner of Marie's Hair Studio in Malibu, CA, has been doing actress Jane Seymour's color and haircuts for 15 years. In preparation for a recent InStyle Magazine photo shoot celebrating "50 Years of Bond Girls" Seymour sought out Ferro for a quick touch-up.
"Jane is known as a beauty icon and is always asked about her anti-aging tips because she doesn't look much older than when she was a Bond Girl, " says Ferro."One of the ways I keep her hair looking youthful is to create shine and dimension. I use three interwoven colors and apply a toner over all for additional shine, creating a watercolor, washed effect over the entire color."
And the cut? "Cutting face framing layers accents her beautiful features and long layers throughout her hair gives the hair flow and movement."
Seymour, actress, artist, philanthropist, and spokesperson, became Bond Girl beautiful with this Ferro formula:
Haircolor: Goldwell Natural Level: 6 Existing Haircolor: 1⁄2" regrowth Hair Texture: Medium-fine
Hair Condition: Healthy, slightly porous ends
Prework: Phyto Phytonectar Ultra Nourishing Oil Treatment(1 week prior to service)
Malibu C and Goldwell System Pre-Color (day of service)
Base: Topchic, 10 ml 6N (dark blonde), 5 ml 7N (medium blonde), 15 ml 7GB (beige blonde), 10 ml 8G
(gold blonde) + 10-volume developer
Dimensional Colorations:
Highlights: Topchic, 10 ml 11N (special natural blonde), 3 ml Blonding Cream + 40-volume developer
Lowlights: Topchic, 5 ml 8G (gold blonde), 8 ml 7KR (copper blonde), 8 ml 7KG (medium copper blonde) + 10-volume developer
Toner/Glaze: Colorance, 15 ml 8GB (light beige blonde), 15 ml 9KG (light copper gold), 10 ml Clear + Colorance Lotion
Step 1: Shampoo using Malibu C actives and Shampoo and completely dry hair.
Step 2: Apply Goldwell System Pre-Color.
Step 3: Divide hair into 5 sections: 2 back sections, 2 side sections, and 1 pie-shaped section from the crown to the tops of the temples.
Step 4: Using foils, alternate fine weavings of the Base and Lowlights formulas throughout the back sections.
Step 5: Alternate fine weavings of the Lowlights and Highlights formulas throughout the top section, ending with the Highlights formula.
Step 6: Finely weave the side sections using the Highlights formula for the first foil nearest the face, then alternating Base and Lowlights formulas.
Step 7: Apply Base formula between foils at the regrowth only. Process entire haircolor until base is a natural golden brown; lowlights are copper, golden red; and highlights are natural, sun- kissed blonde.
Step 8: Shampoo and towel-dry hair. Apply Toner/Glaze formula and process for 10 minutes.
Step 9: Treat hair with Phyto Phytocitrus Vital Radiance Shampoo and Mask.

7 U.S. Code § 5822 - Integrated Farm Management Program Option
The Secretary of Agriculture (hereafter in this section referred to as the "Secretary") shall, by regulation, establish a voluntary program, to be known as the "Integrated Farm Management Program Option" (hereafter referred to in this section as the "program"), designed to assist producers of agricultural commodities in adopting integrated, multiyear, site-specific farm management plans by reducing farm program barriers to resource stewardship practices and systems.
The Secretary shall enter into contracts with producers to enroll acreage in the program. Such contracts shall be for a period of not less than 3 years, but may, at the producer's option, be for a longer period of time (up to 5 years) and may be renewed upon mutual agreement between the Secretary and the producer.
In administering the program, the Secretary, in consultation with the local conservation districts, and any State or local authorities deemed appropriate by the Secretary, shall provide technical assistance to producers in developing and implementing plans, evaluating the effectiveness of plans, and assessing the costs and benefits of farming operations and practices. The plans may draw on handbooks and technical guides and may also include other practices appropriate to the particular circumstances of the producer and the purposes of the program.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, the Secretary shall implement this section in such a manner as to minimize any adverse economic effect on the agribusinesses and other agriculturally related economic interests within any county, State, or region that may result from a decrease of harvested acres due to the operation of this section. In carrying out this section, the Secretary may restrict the total amount of crop acreage that may be removed from production, taking into consideration the total amount of crop acreage that has, or will be, removed from production under other price support, production adjustment, or conservation program activities.
The Secretary shall, to the greatest extent practicable, permit producers on a farm that desire to participate in the program authorized under this section to enroll acreage adequate to maximize conservation goals on such farm and ensure economic effectiveness of the program in each individual application.
The Secretary shall not approve any plan that will result in the involuntary displacement of farm tenants or lessees by landowners through the removal of substantial portions of the farm from production of a commodity. In the case of any tenant or lessee who has rented or leased the farm (with or without a written option for annual renewal or periodic renewals) for a period of two or more of the immediately preceding years, the Secretary shall consider the refusal by a landlord, without reasonable cause other than simply for the purpose of enrollment in the program, to renew such rental or lease as an involuntary displacement in the absence of a written consent to such nonrenewal by the tenant or lessee.
The Secretary shall certify compliance by producers with the terms and conditions of the plans.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary shall not, except as provided in paragraph (6), reduce crop acreage bases, or farm program payment yields, as a result of the planting of a resource-conserving crop as part of a resource-conserving crop rotation.
Notwithstanding the provisions of title I of the Agricultural Act of 1949 [7 U.S.C. 1441 et seq.], acreage devoted to resource-conserving crops as part of a resource-conserving crop rotation under this program may also be designated as conservation use acreage for the purpose of fulfilling any provisions under any acreage limitation or land diversion program and up to 50 percent of the acreage so designated shall be without restrictions on haying and grazing, except as provided in paragraph (5)(B), except that such acreage that is devoted to perennial cover on which cost-share assistance for the establishment of the perennial cover has been provided, shall not be credited towards the producer's resource-conserving crop requirement under a contract under this section.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section, barley, oats, or wheat planted as part of a resource-conserving crop on reduced acreage may not be harvested in kernel form.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the Secretary shall not reduce farm program payments of participants in this program as a result of the planting a resource-conserving crop as part of a resource-conserving crop rotation on payment acres.
The Secretary shall not make any program payments to a producer who is otherwise eligible to receive with respect to acreage enrolled in the program if such producer hays or grazes such acreage (excluding acreage designated as conservation use acreage) during the 5-month period in each State during which haying and grazing of conserving use acres is not allowed under the provisions of the Agricultural Act of 1949 [7 U.S.C. 1421 et seq.], or, if the crop planted on such acreage includes a small grain, before the producer harvests the small grain crop in kernel form.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, if the Secretary determines that implementation of this section will result in a significant adverse economic impact on hay or livestock prices in a particular geographic area, the Secretary may limit the quantity of hay that can be harvested or grazed from that area. Such limit may include restrictions on the number of times that hay may be harvested or grazed from the acres per year, the timing of such harvesting and grazing, or the number of years that such land may remain in the same hay stand, or a prohibition on the harvesting or grazing of hay from acres on which a small grain was not originally interplanted with the hay crop and harvested for grain.
The Secretary, only for the purpose of establishing a producer's crop acreage base under the Agricultural Act of 1949 [7 U.S.C. 1421 et seq.], may make such adjustments as the Secretary determines to be fair and equitable to reflect resource-conserving crop rotation practices that were maintained by producers prior to participation in the program and to reflect such other factors as the Secretary determines should be considered, except that the total of such adjustments in any year shall not exceed the total farm program savings in the same year that would result from the implementation of plans.
No producers enrolled in a resource-conserving crop rotation shall be eligible to receive payments under farm programs for wheat, feed grains, cotton, or rice under the Agricultural Act of 1949 [7 U.S.C. 1421 et seq.] on acreage equal to the average number of traditionally underplanted acres for the three years prior to enrolling in this program.
Subject to clause (ii), for the purposes of this paragraph the term "traditionally underplanted acreage" means the difference in a particular year between the acreage that is part of a producer's crop acreage base that is not planted to the program crop and the part of the crop acreage base subject to an acreage limitation program or required to be set aside, but only to the extent that such number exceeds the number of acres resulting from the reduction in payment acres under an amendment made by section 1101 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (Public Law 101–508; 104 Stat. 1388–1). In no case shall such acreage be less than zero.
In the case of a producer participating in a particular year in a program authorized under section 101B(c)(1)(D), 103B(c)(1)(D), 105B(c)(1)(E), or 107B(c)(1)(E) [1] of the Agricultural Act of 1949, the term "traditionally underplanted acreage" means 8 percent of the producer's permitted acreage for such year.

On 4 February this year my phone barely left my hand as I constantly checked my twitter updates, waiting to be told whether the skeleton found under the Leicester carpark really was Richard III. It seemed impossible, but like everyone else following the news I so hoped it was. Then the information started to be revealed piece by piece – the curvature of the spine; the battle trauma; an adult male with an unusual feminine build – all seeming to point at Richard III. Then the final confirmation – this was King Richard III. Just reading this announcement was so emotional, how much more amazing to have been there. From then on I watched a rerun of the live announcement, the excellent documentaries and read a number of articles, determined to go to Leicester and be a small part of this discovery.
I first became interested in Richard III after watching the Shakespear play as a young teenager in Stratford. I shortly followed this up by reading Josephine Tey's The Daughter of Time; and became indignant on the King's behalf at Shakespear's treatment – in only the way a teenager can. Since then I have read much more about Richard III and my viewpoint has become more balanced, although I remain in the 'he didn't do it' camp.
This week I finally got myself to Leicester and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in the recent discovery. I started off with the Richard III walking trail, which you can download for free from the Visit Leicester Website. It takes you around the city to the major sites associated with Richard III. This gave me a charming introduction to Leicester itself and made me feel suitably prepared for the exhibition.
The first stop was the site of the Blue Boar Inn. This is where Richard spent his last night before the Battle Of Bosworth. Reportedly this had been called The White Boar after Richard III's badge, but was changed following his defeat. Unfortunately, it has now been demolished and a Travelodge stands on the site (apparently if you have the name Plantagenet you can stay for free) – Richard may not have been too impressed by this, but hopefully would have been more pleased with the pub along from the site which now bears his name. Another stop on the tour is the Bow Bridge (again not the original).According to Legend the King's spur hit the bridge on the way across and a wise woman predicted that Richard would be defeated and his head would hit the bridge on the way back – which it did.
Towards the end of the tour you see the carpark where the Kings bones were found. There is not much to see – the site is covered with a large gazebo and there is a guard at the front stopping anyone not on an official tour getting in. However, I was still filled with a sense of awe just standing there. To see the simplicity of the place where the bones had been hidden for so long bought home to me just how amazing this discovery was, and how inappropriate this place had been for the resting place of a King.
From there the tour ended up with the Cathedral and the exhibition. The Cathedral itself it well worth visiting, it has some of the most beautiful stained glass windows I have seen anywhere and the staff there are very welcoming and informative. There was a lot of information available at the Cathedral and of course the stone slab is there remembering Richard III.
The exhibition itself explains the scientific evidence from the dig and how these led to the identification of the King. It includes an exact model of the skull, touch screen information screens, narrative from the different people involved in the dig and some of the artifacts found there. This is a fascinating exhibition, which explains clearly step-by-step the different scientific clues and how they were put together.
There is a life-sized inter-active skeleton panel – by touching each part of the skeleton you can explore the wounds inflicted on the King at the Battle of Bosworth. The exhibition puts into historical context the findings from the dig – comparing what is recorded about his life with the discoveries made. It is a living story of those discoveries and as you work your way around the small space it is as if you were a part of this. Considering that this exhibition was put together in only four weeks it really is remarkable.
Next year the exhibition is due to move to a larger building next to the dig site, and will hopefully incorporate the site in some way. I will be looking forward to returning to Leicester to see what further discoveries are made over the coming year and how they are presented in the bigger space.

I've decided to start a new tradition this year after almost three years of this "blog" thing (wow... I started this in 2005) I'm doing an end of the year wrap up and you'll see my nice "New Year's Resolutions" come morning.
These are a slightly tart change from the usual super sweet cookies at Christmas time. They taste best with fresh lemon, you can get lemon zest by scraping the yellow part of the rind off the lemon - try not to get the white part, that's bitter. Or you can cheat and buy it in the …
This is a very unusual chex mix variant, both savory and sweet. I make it to "use up" the leftover cereal after making the other varieties.
This was actually going to be made before my adventures in chex mix, but my son broke my candy thermometer and I had to wait until I had time to buy a new one.
This is also known as "Muddy Buddies" or "Puppy Food" but we've always called it dog chow. I only make this with Crispix cereal, Chex mix just doesn't seem right (and doesn't have as "dog food" of a shape)
The age old stuff that your mom always made and is still great to munch on - keep out of reach of children, it won't last long.
Ah, the chex mix variations brigade. My kids love this stuff, made from roasted cereal with butter and seasonings. I make several versions of it, traditional, ranch, and Moroccan (sweet and fruity). You can make it in the microwave, but it's so much better in the oven. However, it's not really kid safe if you're making …
Ah, traditional hard candy. Pure sugar with some flavoring and food coloring, but kids love to suck on it (and it makes the whole house smell like peppermint) Like other candies, have everything ready before you start cooking, and don't let kids help with this, also be careful, we don't want any burns!
This is hard butter toffee, not the gooey kind (which is more like hard caramel) This is also deadly, anyone left alone with a bag will devour it all. It is probably my husband's favorite Christmas sweet. This is another candy, so a good candy thermometer is essential. Also this is not something children should be …
Ah, yummy gooey caramels, the kind that stick to your teeth and taste great! Warning- to make great caramels you need to follow the directions carefully, and have a good candy thermometer. This is also not something you should make around kids, you'll be dealing with very hot temperatures.
These have always been a favorite of my brother, Joshua. They take very few ingredients and are fun to make with kids.
It's a Christmas tradition in my family to bake. All that Mennonite and Amish background bubbles to the surface around holidays. I enjoy making a different "sweet" every day the entire month of December.

Based on the information my interviewees have given me, this story involves several elements: the spread of educational institutions; the flowering of women's higher education; the desire to be recognized as being capable of intellectual work and financial independence; and the spectres of widowhood and abandonment by the husband. When women started working, their general circumstances differed markedly from men's: to say "most women born after 1950 qualified themselves to work, and they were the first generation where many women worked" does not mean that they started living their lives just like men. For one thing, child-rearing and housework was still the province of women; they could only work once these two responsibilities were taken care of. A working woman faces problems and situations unique to women.
For another thing, as my aunts both told me, their generation was not really the first to start working—there were women before them who worked outside the home, and those women undoubtedly paved the way for their descendants to go out and work en masse. And, as I found out from my interviews, those women who did not work encouraged their daughters to study and to work, because they were frustrated with their own inability to do so. So, if we want to know why and how women of my mother's and aunts' started working outside the home, we need to take one step further into history: we need to speak to the generation that preceded them. This post is the first of two on this topic, and I have devoted it to two women of that generation: my grandmother, Rajeswari (b. 1937) and her sister-in-law, Padmini Srinivasan (b. 1948).
My grandmother studied until her 11th standard (called SSLC). She could not continue studying because the nearest college was in Coimbatore, and her family did not want her to study so far away from home. However, she continued with various activities: she took a tailoring class, learnt music, and wrote short stories. Though learning music ended with her marriage, she still attended concerts. She was inspired by the famous singer, M.L. Vasantakumari (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._L._Vasanthakumari), and wanted to sing like her. She also kept her sewing machine with her and continued to submit stories to magazines. They did not get published because, she said, she did not have enough knowledge about the world.
My mami-patti, Padmini mami, has involved herself with music since her childhood. She completed her Bachelor's degree in music from Coimbatore in 1969. It was surprising to me that Padmini Mami went to a college away from home—for comparison, my mother, in 1978, was not allowed to attend any college too far away from home, even if it was in the same town; staying at a hostel and attending college would have been unthinkable) Of course, the circumstances were different: Mami's hostel, according to her, was actually "even safer than home!," and my mother was staying away from her parents already (she was with her aunt and uncle). Mami's great passion is music. She sang on All India Radio for several years. During the three years of relative freedom between college and marriage (1969-72), Mami painted, practised music, took a type-writing class, and learnt the basics of cookery. "We never used to waste a single minute those days," she said. But her passion is music: Mami was very interested in theory and in building a wide repertoire of songs.
They had greater exposure to the world than their own mothers thanks to radio and print media. My grandmother believes that the stories she wrote would have been better if she had possessed more knowledge of the world, but that she submitted those stories indicates and the opening up of mentalities and the avenues of expression for women. Her aunt used to read a lot, especially about religious philosophy, but also fiction, and she and her sisters picked up that habit. Further, the age of marriage was growing greater: whereas their mothers would, as a ruler, have been married at the age of 15 or 16, women of their generation usually at least finished secondary school, and some of them entered college. Many of them also took classes—typing, tailoring, language, and so on—which gave them the confidence of having certified and officially recognized skills. A natural confidence in their abilities and a wish to put them to use could not have been far away. Frustration at not being able to achieve those aims was more or less inevitable, as their families did not like their working outside.
Mami puts a lot of value on the fact that she was able to help her daughter, Gayathri Girish (http://gayathrigirish.blogspot.com/), rise to prominence as a musician. By teaching Gayathri songs, by giving her exposure to public performance by entering her in contests and having Gayathri sing devotional songs with her on the radio, and by still helping her, Mami feels she has ensured that her own education has been useful. Mami helps her grand-daughter, Vishruthi, with her music and with her arts. If Vishruthi takes up a career in either of those fields, Mami's efforts will have paid off very well in the long run. And, I learned, that isn't all: as I was leaving her apartment, she caught up with me to add one more thing: because she was the only one in the family who knew typing, she worked as a 'secretary' (I don't think she had an official job title) in the business he founded. She thus did justice to time and money she spent on her typing class. She was telling me this, she said, to show that she tried not to let any of her knowledge go to waste. Similarly, my mother told me that Paati (who is my mother's mother-in-law) had encouraged her to study further and work, and when I asked paati about this, she told me, "I had the frustration of not being able to study and not being able to sing. So I encouraged those at home who could [i.e. for whom that option was available]."
Why did they encourage their daughters/daughters-in-law to work? Certainly, one reason, as outlined above, was certainly that they wanted their daughters and other young family members to put their education to good use—to show the world that they too had intelligent and useful minds. My great-aunt and my grandmother both told me they felt that women did not get respect if they were not well-educated and capable of carrying on a profession, and they wanted to ensure that their own generation got that. The other reason was the possibility of widowhood or abandonment: women who did not have a husband to depend on needed to work, and a college degree and work experience were crucial if something happened to upset married life. These twin impulses—the desire to exercise one's independent intellectual capacity and the drive to ensure one's financial survival in the event of misfortune—seemed to be the desires that motivated the next generation of women—that is, those born roughly between 1955 and 1970.This naturally leads us to that next generation of women, but that is the subject of the next post. Let me conclude by saying only that though this first generation of women was constrained by tradition and could not study/work to the extent that they wanted, that is not the end of the story: a longer historical view will also take into account the fact of the education and skills they did receive as perhaps the crucial stimulant that enabled their daughters to start working.

Turnout high for night out
Hundreds of people from throughout Auglaize County turned out Tuesday for National Night Out at the Harmon Park Gazebo in Wapakoneta.
"It seems to get bigger every year," Wapakoneta Police Chief Russ Hunlock said. "It is a good way for us to interact with the citizens."
National Night Out, which is held the first Tuesday each year in August, is hosted in more than 15,000 communities in all 50 states.
Hunlock said it is a chance for the community to meet many of the law enforcement personnel and get to know them. Approximately 25 law enforcement personnel were on hand Tuesday from throughout the county, including deputies with the Auglaize County Sheriff's Office, troopers with the Wapakoneta Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol and police officers with the Wapakoneta, St. Marys, and New Knoxville police departments, as well as agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and firefighters from the Wapakoneta Fire Department and EMS.
"This gives us a chance to interact with people and let them see that we are not robots," Hunlock said. "It encourages the public to call us when there is a problem. We can't solve all crime on our own and sometimes we need support from the citizens."
Wapakoneta K-9 Rico also made an appearance and gave a demonstration of his abilities to the delight of a large crowd.
Hunlock said he feels the event has its desired impact.
"It encourages the public to call us when there is a problem," Hunlock said. "We take this as a way to develop a partnership in taking care of crime. There is no way to keep statistics to measure the impact, but I think it is obvious by the turnout."
Lawrence Wallace brought his two children, ages two and four, to the event for the first time and said it was a great event for residents to communicate with law enforcement.
"A lot of times kids will think police officers are bad, and they are there just to arrest you or get you in trouble," Wallace said. "This gives them a chance to meet with the different officers and see they are doing a good thing. My kids love it. They can't wait to see the K-9 show."
Amy Tester was at the event for the first time and helped bring a local Girl Scout troop to the event.
"I think this definitely helps with raising awareness throughout the communities," Tester said. "It is a pretty good turnout and we have had the chance to talk with many of the different agencies."
Carrie Roode brought her two young children and two nieces to enjoy the festivities.
"I think this helps the kids open up more to the police department and other agencies," Roode said. "This is our first time coming and the kids have had a great time."
Attendees could treat themselves to hot dogs, drinks, chips and goodies, and goody bags and balloons were handled out to all the children during the 2-hour event held at the Rotary-Ferald Ritchie Gazebo in Harmon Park.
The Wapakoneta Noon Optimists helped out, handing out the balloons and helping children get fitted for free bicycle helmets. Child identification kits also were available at the event. A raffle drawing featured pool passes, a girl's and a boy's 20-inch bicycle and other prizes. Music was played for the duration of the event.
A LifeFlight helicopter made an appearance and children had a chance to check out the helicopter up close.

Facebook finds footing a year after IPO flop
SAN JOSE — A year ago, Facebook was being blamed for eviscerating the tech IPO market.
This year, it could help resuscitate it.
Some stock watchers suggest Facebook's recent reversal of fortune reflects a rejuvenated tech market, and the company would have fared much better had it gone public this year.
"It's both Facebook performing well, and (a stronger) tech (market) helping any high-profile tech stock," says Bill Tai, a general partner at Charles River Ventures.
FACEBOOK FUTURE: Stock struggles to shake off malaise
"What happened last year is ancient history," says John Fitzgibbon, founder of market researcher IPOScoop.com. "Facebook was a spectacular pop and flop. Market conditions were bad then."
But Facebook's strides in mobile advertising and healthier financial standing since underscore an improved tech sector, Fitzgibbon says.
"This market is stronger than people realize, with some promising IPOs," Fitzgibbon says. "Apple's stock drop is masking the true strength of (the tech-heavy) Nasdaq composite."
Two business-software companies are expected to go public Friday: Marketo, which makes marketing software, and data-visualization company Tableau Software, which recently raised its price range to $28 to $30 per share, from $23 to $26.
There could be more, with strong rumblings of potential IPOs over the next year from consumer tech players such as Twitter, Square, Dropbox and Box, among others.
Last year, the ripple of Facebook's flop extended to the market, with an absence of consumer-related Web offerings late last year and early this year.
Since Facebook stumbled out of the IPO gate, however, it has rebounded nicely.
Despite the rap against Internet companies as being money-losing story stocks, Facebook has been profitable the past two quarters.
The company recently reported $1.5 billion in revenue for its first quarter, which is 38% higher than it was in the same quarter a year ago. Facebook's net income of $219 million in the first quarter was a 6.8% improvement over the same period a year ago. That's above the 5% earnings growth being reported by Standard & Poor's 500 companies in the first quarter, says S&P Capital IQ.
At the same time, 751 million of Facebook's 1.11 billion monthly active users accessed the site on mobile devices. That's up 54% from the same time a year ago.
Facebook declined to comment on this story.
But a source close to the company, requesting anonymity because they are not authorized to speak on behalf of Facebook, says mobile has dramatically changed the social network's financial picture.
About 30% of the company's $1.25 billion in first-quarter ad revenue came from mobile ads. A year ago, not a penny of its $872 million in quarterly ads was mobile.
Still, earnings growth of 6.8% is a far cry from the skyrocketing profitability investors were thinking the company could produce when it went public in May 2012.
"Facebook has done a good job with monetization and has made impressive strides in mobile," says Morgan Flager, a partner at venture-capital firm Silverton Partners. "The tricky part is to continue to show improved monetization to meet Wall Street's increasingly high expectations (and) not alienate your existing user base by making Facebook too commercial."
Facebook remains one of only a small group of companies that can "instantly and directly" market a new product to more than 1 billion people, says James Foster, CEO of computer-security start-up Riskive.
