---- — Members of the Cass County Resource Network have had a busy year. Community leaders are preparing to reflect on the network's successes Thursday at the CCRN summit.
At the summit, there will be a motivational speaker and the network's five task forces will discuss projects completed over the past year.
The Cass County Resource Network is made up of more than 50 organizations as well as individuals who are divided into task forces to improve the community. The task forces cover childcare/preschool, employment, neighborhood, family stability and food security.
Each task force has a different goal, including preparing children for kindergarten, coordinating programs to create a more employable and educated workforce, supporting neighborhood change, promoting resources for families and making sure every person in Cass County has enough to eat.
The intention of the CCRN is to get everyone in the community working together, said Joyce Mayhill, executive director of United Way of Cass County.
At a planning meeting last week, CCRN executive committee members got together and discussed the upcoming summit. On hand was Rick Hollering, who will be the motivational speaker of the summit.
At the monthly CCRN meetings, each task force gives a progress report. Mayhill said they want to be able to report results to the community. Those reports will be available at the summit.
Lita Rouser, director of impact strategies and community investment at United Way of Cass County, wanted people to know anyone can be involved.
"It's almost a perception people have that you have to be with an organization to help and that's not true," Rouser said.
Maria Rogers, a member of the CCRN executive committee, participates in the food security task force.
"I started in food security because it is a passion of mine," Rogers said. "People can sign up for the task force depending on what their passion is."
Rogers said it's great because no one wants recognition, they just want to get the job done.
Mayhill said the goal is to work together to maximize community resources, minimize duplication of resources and improve people's lives.
Rogers agreed, saying they were also minimizing frustration by being able to supply people with answers to questions they might have.
Mayhill said they would like to get people, in addition to those already participating in CCRN, to attend the summit to see the difference the task forces are making in the community that affect businesses and their employees, residents and their neighbors, families and their needs.
"They can see there are people and organizations working together to improve our community, how we are doing it, and what has been accomplished," Mayhill said. "We invite them to make a move and help to take action."
"If you want to see an example of people working together, come to CCRN," Mayhill said.
CCRN president Anthony Cozzello agreed, saying instead of complaining, people should do something effective.
Rogers said the summit would be a good time to do that.
Time and "finishing the race" will be essential to the message of the CCRN summit, which will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday at Calvary Presbyterian Church.
The event costs $5 to attend and includes lunch. Those who wish to attend should contact the United Way of Cass County by Tuesday at 574-753-3533.

Chienna WorldCosplay Account
You can find it here: http://worldcosplay.net/member/59137/
She's even got the meme I made! I'm sooooo flattered. You can find all her fail cosplay attempts here.
Sorry for the incredibly short post. I promise to make longer ones when I can.
Random Thoughts
I've been thinking about what I said about Chienna, and I don't regret anything I've said. I'm proud of all those blog posts I made about her. I wouldn't call it paninira, since I don't start rumors without proof and I only state my opinion of her, which may sometimes border on the naughty side, especially when I'm feeling pretty bad. I wouldn't call it papuri either, since I am very hard to please and I am not easily offended or scared by any threat (death threats, lawsuit threats, you get the picture). I wouldn't call it katotohanan either since most of my posts are opinions (except for those with screenshots and pictures as proof of fact, e.g., Reasons Why Chienna Doesn't Deserve the Title of "Youngest Professional Cosplayer in the Philippines").
Now, I think it won't be long before she fades into obscurity once again. Even with that Starmagic thing, I don't think she'll ever see the light of fame. There are thousands of people out there with a lot more talent, beauty and money, she'll just get left behind in the dust. Even if she chooses to strip in front of dirty old men, nothing will happen. She'll just be another "one-hit wonder" if she is ever even considered a "wonder".
A Comment that Made My Day
I found this piece of treasure at a certain bitch's fanpage. It was too valuable to be deleted by weak and indecisive admins. This person deserves a medal!!
Chienna Got Kicked Out From School??? (Rumor)
Alodia Copycat
Lately, Alodia's been posting about her everyday life on her FB fanpage. There's nothing wrong with that, but when you have legions of fantards calling you the "cosplay goddess", it would be much more appropriate if she posted cosplay stuff instead of what she eats or pictures of family reunions.
On the other hand, there is a certain famewhore who tries hard to be like Alodia in every aspect, from butchering cosplay characters to posting random stuff about her everyday lives on FB. Here's a screenshot and I'll leave it to you guys to guess who she is.
Random Shizz of the Day: Chienna is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Masungit!
It all started with this picture of a duck:
Then, the comments:
Warning: Stupidity Overload!!! Chienna's Fantards
So, fantard logic begins with this:
By the way, here's his FB if you guys want to argue with him or be friends with him here
Some other fantard joins in on the fun:
Man, this "you're just insecure/jealous of her" thing is too old. Can't these uneducated freaks think of something else? Oh yeah, I forgot. They're uneducated.
You can check out this poor girl's profile here
And someone even had the nerve to tell me where and when to use correct spelling
I therefore conclude that these fantards are stupid.
You're weak, Chienna. Look at your supporters, weak brains, bad spelling/grammar, inactive (most of them are, admit it) and weak! You won't last a decade in showbiz. If someone prettier comes along they'll forget about you. Or, these guys won't earn enough money for a computer shop in the future to even support you. Remember, strong people go with strong people. Weak people go with weak people.

Reviews for Penne Gorgonzola with Chicken
Sort By :
Skipped the white wine & the parsley - some critter ate the fresh parsley growing on my patio. Ate my chives, too. This tastes soooooo good, made for hubby. UPDATE: Don't add salt as it is salty enough & hubby said it was too weird tasting for him. Rats.
I make this often.i have substituted smoked Gouda for the Gorgonzola and it is also very good. It is a keeper!
While the texture was perfect, the flavor was very, very rich. Too rich for my family. My mother-in-law liked it, I thought it was ok. My husband and children hated it. I probably won't make again.
This is awesome! I did use a little less Gorgonzola. The package I had was only 5 ounces, but I think that was enough. This is totally delicious. The fresh sage really adds to it.
I'm not a blue cheese fan but this was wonderful. My whole family loved it! I did leave out the sage leaves but I was brave and cooked it with the full amount of Gorgonzola. It was delicious. But if you're skittish about blue cheese you certainly could do a half & half thing with some mozzarella or another cheese. Or substitute it altogether. I think the overall experience would be just as good.

There is light at the end of the tunnel for the construction project that has plagued portions of North Rapid City for weeks.
According to Public Works Director Terry Wolterstorff, crew are wrapping up the Lacrosse Street project, which began just over a month ago.
Wolterstorff says it was a simple road–way rehabilitation project, but projects like this do take some time.
"Sealing some joints, replacing some concrete panels, work should be wrapped up in about two weeks, should be totally out of the way, we know it's been quite an inconvenience and backing up some traffic during some peak times, but we'll be happy to have that one wrapped up," says Wolterstorff.
Wolterstorff says the Lacrosse project was slated to be finished November 20th, but they expect lanes to be opened by the end of this week.

Nearly black in the glass- but ruby to cola when held to the light, with a slight peach overtone. Head is tan, just over a finger.
Smell is very nice and roasty. There's some yeasty bits here, too.
Flavor is also nice nd roasty right up front. Other flavour profiles not as deep and dark as my tastes in porters generally run.
Body is too light, IMO...and the carbonation is too high.
I want more out of this one. Drinkable, but not extremely so.
Be well

3.85/5 rDev +6.4%
Thanks to Warriorsoul for this sample. Sampled & reviewed on 2/23/07:
Ap: Almost no head raised from vigorous pour. Deep mahogany brown. No carbonation evident. Past its prime or intentional?
Ar: Amoky, toasted roasted malts dominate. Some bitter chocolate in the background. Cocoa. Almost a bit of chocolate pudding.
Ta: Nice roasted/chocolate malt flavor! Nicely balanced malts with a good hop bite in the finish. Fully flavored & rounded. Good taste experience....
Mo: Medium to full bodied. Rich & coats the palette, but not cloying. Bitterness cleans off the palette with a dry finish.
Dr: Smooth drinking. Nice & easy. Not too rich to detract from the drinkability, but rich enough to measure up as a robust porter.
Comments: Flavors nicely melded & work well in combination. One of the better examples of the style that I've sampled. Wish it was available in MA!

Nice black pour with deep ruby highlights when held up to the light. A tan head appears and falls to leave a nice ring. Lovely coffee tones waft into my nose, like I just opened a can of Folgers. HInts of cocoa and toasted barley. Very enjoyable nose.
First sip opens with a bitter coffee, there's a lot of burnt grains in there as well as hints of chocolate. I seem to sense a bit of lactic creaminess in there too. The nose is bigger than the flavor here and while it's enjoyable I was expecting more.
Mouthfeel has nice creamy aspects as well as a good medium body. Good for the style and seperates it from the stouts. I could have a few of these in one sitting...but it's not one I would search out. A good porter overall. Thanks to merlin48 for the opportunity to sample this brew.

12 oz bottle with "best before July, 04" date on label. Pours an opaque, deep brown, nearly black, color with a short lived tan head. Some webs of sheet lace were left behind. Nose was somewhat subdued, with burnt coffee highlighting a background of smoke, cocoa, and anise. Mouthfeel is creamy, with medium carbonation and a mild bite from the hops. Taste is based on caramel malts and is highlighted by dark roasted coffee, a hint of bittersweet chocolate, some smokiness, and some underlying floral/herbal hops. Finishes with a dry and bitter chocolate aftertaste that lingers for quite a while. A middle of the road porter that is very drinkable with its light body and absence of anything to overwhelm.

This beer is a very dark brown with a small head that did not last very long. Some nice lacing is left on the glass.
It smells strongly of coffee, toasted and a slight hint of dark chocolate. Very malty.
This is a medium to full-bodied beer. A pretty smooth texture. From the onset, you can feel the carbonation on the tongue. The taste starts with a slightly sweet start with a coffee middle followed by a subtle bitter finish to close it out.

Poured a very dark brown in color, with a fizzy and short-lived tan-colored head. Nose is of roasted coffee, burned walnuts, bitter chocolate, and sweet caramel. Flavor follows suit. Brisk dark chocolate flavor, with a supporting cast of caramel sweetness, roasted nuts, and a slightly bitter aftertaste. Crisp and dry aftertaste. The flavor got much better as this beer warmed. The higher temps really smoothed everything out in the flavor profile. Slightly fizzy mouthfeel and medium-bodied. Good drinkability, especially as it warmed. Not too heavy.
Another solid offering from the BBC.
Another big thanks for AKSmokedPorter for this one.

Murky muddy brown color with a low, beige head that sinks quickly. Aroma is hops backed with cocoa and raisin. Flavor is complex, with many nuances jumping out at different times. Initially caramelly, followed by cocoa with some chalkiness. This morphs to bitter coffee as it rolls toward the back of the mouth. The finish brings out raisin and molasses, and a hop bitter lingers in the back of the throat. Medium carbonation with a smooth mouthfeel. Fine webbed lacing all around the glass. Nice selection, could use more roasted maltiness for my tastes.

Pours a beautiful dark brown/black with a fluffy soap suds espresso colored head.
Smells weakly of coffee. Perhaps a little toasted.
Tastes very weak and metallic. Washed out weak coffee flavors try to break through but are squashed down by this overwhelming metallic twang. Very weak on the porter flavors.
Moderate in mouthfeel, also way too much fizz here.
Sorry, this one is not for me.

from the bottle to a mug, fairly aggressive pour. Dark black color with a thick caramel creamy foam, visible flecks of something, makes me excited, 9reminds me of a few great barley wines). Light in the aroma, but did catch a bit of roasty sweetness, can't tell of what though. Taste is all right, notice a few subtleties to it (coffee, chacolate?) but the beer is a bit watery, not as thich and full bodied as the appearance would suggest. I've heard bad things about BBC from a few folks, so this is the first one of thier brews I've tried. I would say that while not the best porter, it was an enjoyable drink, and I'm now going to plan an outing of my other brew brethren to check out what else they have in store. I'll let you know ....

3.25/5 rDev -10.2%
Appearance: Pours a dark ruby brown with a tan head that dwindles pretty quick, but it dows leave some nice tightly packed fine lacing all around my chalice. Aroma: Not getting too much strong tones but there is a nice mellow mixture of milk chocolate and very mild coffee roasts. Taste: Has a peculiar chalkiness in the finish but before that it starts as a relatively sweeter porter with the dry finishing notes of the deep roasted malts mild coffee tone to it with the creamy chocolate flavor. Mouthfeel: Lighter bodied porter not bad a bit overcarbonation, not overly impressed. Drinkability: A decent session porter I wouldn't shy away from this one next time I see it but there are many better offerings out there.

12 oz bottle, notched production date of April 2013, served in a snifter.
Pours clear but very dark brown with a small and weak head.
Aroma: ample notes of milk and medium chocolate with roasted grains.
Flavor: chocolate, leaning more to the dark chocolate side than does the aroma. Malty sweetness is mostly counter-balanced by English hops. Long lasting aftertase features dark roasted grains.
Feel: smooth; medium body
O: Chocolaty, even for style.

This is my first American Porter so take that into consideration when reading.
Appearance - Very dark. The only light that got through it was just around the edges of the glass. Poured with a slight head and OK lacing.
Smell - Musty burnt grass like qualities here. I'm not quite used to that.
Taste - Burnt and bitter, but not overwhelmingly bitter. I suppose that is some of the attributes of this style and it does a good job of presenting these qualities. Again, I'm not quite used to that but if that is what you are looking for then it does not disappoint.
Mouthfeel - A little too carbonated. It is about as carbonated as a coke. I can still drink it though but not as pleasing as I would like for it to be.
Drinkability - Due to the carbonization of this it is a bit hard to take multiple sips one right after the other. I also don't quite like the burnt bitterness of it but if that is what you like then it here. Perhaps I could warm up to this style, given enough time.

Appearance: Very very dark with thick rings of lacing left and a thick chunky mocha-colored head. Looks like a porter that I definitely want to drink.
Smell: Roasted malt, slight dark chocolate and light coffee, a bit of nice dark berries, and some slight hops.
Taste: What this mostly lacks is a long lingering finish, but as is, this is a solid brew. I like the fruitiness of the berries, along with the mild chocolate and coffee flavors also. Finishes with those attributes and a bit of hops. Like I said, a longer finish would be awesome, but this is a solid porter.
Mouthfeel: Creamy and full without sticking to the teeth, and it's fairly silky to boot.
Drinkability: A solid porter that's very easy to drink and easy to make a session out of. Solid on all accounts I think. My second Bluegrass brew and another that I've really enjoyed.

A very fine beer, but I think it's a little closer to a good stout than what I think of when I hear "Porter".
A - Poured a very dark brown (not black), very little head but retained a thin lace throughout.
S - Roasted barley with very slight hop note.
T - Coffee, chocolate and roasted barely.
M - Very rich, almost "chewy".
O - Like I said above, a very fine beer but more like a stout.

Dark is right, This is a deep black, indeed. Nice tan head, and good lace.
Aroma is burnt dark chocolate. Nice.
Tastes chocolatey, with a nice roastiness and a slightly bitter finish.
A really solid and representative example of a sessionable porter. A winner, and one I'd easily return to, or refer as a fine and drinkable beginner's porter.

12oz single, hauled by kmpitz2
is this one named for the dead song or is that strictly a coincidence? either way...
appearance: dark, almost pitch black, maybe a ruby tint, just maybe...very light brown head and creamy lacing
smell: cocoa powder, roasted malts, some coffee bean, a dark fruitiness going on in the background, earthy
taste: burnt coffee, cocoa powder, dark roast, dark fruit, some mild hoppiness, toasted malts...somthing missing here i think
mouthfeel: not as creamy as i'd like
drinkability: pretty drinkable

3.55/5 rDev -1.9%
Appearance: It's very dark brown in color (nearly black) with a minimal head. Retention was extremely short and no lacing lined the glass.
Smell: Big roasted malt aroma up front. Dark chocolate and coffee scents creep in and give it a very full and complex smell. Slight bit of a toasted nuts in there.
Taste: Espresso and coffee flavor really predominates and probably masks some of the other flavors. Roasted malt and dark chocolate flavors are there, but certainly are a distant second to the coffee. Toasted nut flavors are barely noticeable.
Mouthfeel/Drinkability: It's thin and light bodied. Probably a little too thin for this style. Carbonation level is pretty good. It's relatively smooth and drinkable. Drinkability is somewhat limited by the flavor. Overall, it's a decent offering. Worth a try.

12 oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Best before date March 2008. Purchased at BBC S. 4th St, Louisville.
Pours a dark brown coffee color, small tan head recedes to a ring, some tiny wisps of lace left.
Aroma is pleasant, chocolate and roasted notes. One the palate, all roasted bitterness, cocoa, both hop and char bitterness in the finish. A bit too much bitterness without a lot of complexity...certainly a decent beer but does not thrill. Likely better on tap, worth another try when at a BBC brewpub.

S: Slight fruittyness & some roasted grains
T: Fruitty up front then roasted malt & grainyness, with some hop bite. Finishes fruitty with a slight choclate flavor
MF: Light to medium bodied with good carbonation
Drinks okay, just an okay porter

Largely brown, close to black in the middle with ruby highlights, especially when held to a light. The appearance is not as dark or dense as many Porters Ive seen. An off-white head of a finger quickly formed and then rapidly faded away to a foamy cap, thicker around the edge of the glass. The head retention could have been better. Subsequent lacing was spotty and it didnt cling well. The bouquet is soft with notes of coffee and chocolate being the focal point. It seems like the coffee has just a touch of cream in it. The nose really isnt that complex nor is it that potent. There is an invitation but all it really says is, Im a Porter. I translate that to drink me. So I do. The palate is straightforward and simple, however this doesnt mean it isnt tasty. This is a good Porter. The malty flavors, like the nose, are coffee with a dash of cream and some stray chocolate notes and a small amount of roast. Towards the finish a fair amount of hop bitterness is found. The hops seem to impart a small amount of grassy flavor. As the aftertaste is formed a muddled dry, milky, malty, roasty taste settles on the tongue. This could be improved. The mouthfeel is a bit slight, it isnt grossly thin but it is rather weak for the style. The carbonation is moderately low but workable. This plenty drinkable and likeable enough to drink again but I can think of many other Porters Id pull off the shelves before this one. However if it were not for SheepNutz I would have never tried this one at all, so thanks!

Recurring Role
Look hard: When the boys are back home from the launderette, you can see an end shot of a Western movie for a fraction of a second.
When the Young Ones are introduced on University Challenge they are said in a different order to where they are sitting and Footlights College names are read out right to left in order, but on University Challenge the names are all read out left to right.
When Vyv tries to tell the time he says that the big hand is on the 12 and the small hand is on the 11. Making it 11:00 am. So when Vyv says "half past 5." Whats the rush to get to the station?
At the launderette they don't have any money to make the washing machine start. So where did they all of a sudden get the money from to pay for the train journey.
Following this goof: Where did Rick get the £5 from to pay Vyv for the empty cup.
Also what about when Rick attempts to steal the newspaper, gets caught and ends up having to pay.
It's revealed that Rick has been tampering with Bambi's question cards, so why has he left the answer for "The world's stupidest bottom burp" as Rick?
After battling with the living sock, Vyvyan strikes Rick over the head with the frying pan he killed the sock with. As they run up to bed, Vyvyan throws the pan on the floor, and it doesn't make a metal sound (flops around and makes a plastic sound, ruining the illusion that it was real).
Balowski: (singing) Revolutionary biscuits of Italy,
Rise up out of your box,
You have nothing to lose but your wafers,
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum...
Bambi: Who is the richest man in the world?
Monty: It's me, isn't it?
Bambi: No, I'm afraid your father's multinational company crashed this morning.
Vyv: (eating a dead rat found in the bin) Hey! There's a dead rat in here! Great!
Vyv: Oh! You mean the one with the enormous tits!
Rik: Vyvyan, why are you so sexist? They're called breasts and everybody has them.
Vyv: Well I don't.
Rik: Yes and nor did Adolf Hitler!
Neil: Oh no, guys, guys, I'm just gonna have to wee on Lord Snot's head...
Neil: This complete stranger shouted "smelly" at me. I wouldn't have minded but he was 100 yards away.
Mike: Rick, he threw us off the train because you said ASLEF was an anagram for "total and complete bastard."
(On the train)
Vyv: 'DO NOT LEAN OUT OF THE WINDOW'... I wonder why. (he does so and his head is knocked off by another train)
Neil: (answer to Bambi's first question) Ah, can I go to the toilet, please?
Motorhead sing "Ace of Spades" as the guys run for the train.
The train the Young Ones catch is a BR Intercity 125 HST. These trains could go 125 Miles an hour.
Some of the episode clips in the opening credits sometimes change. So it has more to do with the episode
When the characters briefly change roles.
Mike becomes Neil
Vyv becomes Mike
Rick becomes Vyv
Neil becomes Rick
The opening titles change to different pictures and a different background.
On an episode of University Challenge, a contestant stumped for an answer responded "Toxteth O'Grady, U.S.A." causing the whole audience to collapse in laughter.
Bambi is a reference to University Challenge host Bamber Gascoigne whom Griff Rhys Jones is impersonating. Griff also impersonated Bamber on Not the 9:00 News.
This was Stephen Fry's second of three appearances on University Challenge. He appeared in 1979 with his university team. In 1993 a special episode was recorded featuring a current college team versus an team of celebrities who had competed with their university teams.
Janet: Here's the afternoon tea, Dr. Carlyle. Dr. Carlyle: Ah, thank you, Janet. Janet: Oh, er... doctor Not the Nine O'Clock News is here to see you.
The Not the Nine O'Clock News show is a British comedy show which ran from 1979 to 1982, in which actual news items were ridiculed.
The Dr. Carlyle/Janet exchange could also be an allusion to a show called Dr. Finlay's Casebook which ran from 1962 to 1971 on BBC 1. It portrayed a 1920's & 30's General Practise in Scotland and had Janet as a housekeeper and Dr. Cameron as a Senior Partner in the Practise.

Tuscaloosa might extend bar closing hours again, Tuesday night.
Under the city's current ordinance, the "last call" for drinks is at 1:45 a.m. and customers must clear out 15 minutes later.
That rule was suspended on a trial basis back in April. Bars were given 30 minutes to clear out after the last drink call.
Some say they would like that change to be permanent.
Tuesday night, council will vote on whether to allow extended bar hours to continue next June.
Stay with www.abc3340.com for the latest details.

Uplogix provides remote-site lifeline
Envoy and EMSFollow @pvenezia
It's the bane of remote-site network administration: the moment you realize that the routing change you just made on a remote router has locked you out of the site entirely and knocked the site offline. It's not necessarily a case of poor admin skills, but more likely a simple mistake.
Uplogix's Envoy is designed to provide a parachute when mistakes happen, by automatically attempting to reset the configuration of a network device to a last-known good state, or at least by providing dial-up/dial-back access to any connected device.
Hooking Up the Hardware
The Envoy is a 1U rack unit with both RJ45 serial ports and standard 10/100 Ethernet ports, plus a dedicated out-of-band management port, switchable PDU control port, an embedded 56k modem, and a small LCD management console in the front. Installation is simple, using standard UTP cable to connect to RJ45 serial console ports on network devices as well as to the Ethernet management interfaces found on many switches, and setting an IP on the device via the front-panel console.
Armed with these connections and suitable configurations, all of your company's connected network devices can now be managed centrally from the Envoy, both manually and automatically. However, Envoy works only with network devices that Uplogix supports. Such devices include Juniper routers, 3Com SuperStack switches, TippingPoint IDS, Cisco IOS, CatOS, and PIXOS, and some Nortel routers.
The Envoy is built on a Linux core, booting from an internal hard drive (the Achilles' heel of network appliances), and is written completely in Java. The CLI is accessible only via SSH; it is quite rudimentary and vaguely based on the Cisco IOS CLI. There is no Web management UI on the Envoy itself, as the EMS (Envoy Management Station), which ships on a Dell 2U server, handles all management tasks.
In the lab, I connected a four-port Envoy unit to three Cisco switches: a Catalyst 4506 with a Supervisor II+10GE management blade, a Catalyst 4948-10G, and an older Catalyst 2924XL. The 4506 blade had a 10/100 management port cabled to the Envoy; the other switches relied solely on the console port for communication. I also connected a four-outlet Server Technology switchable PDU to the Envoy and each switch.
In the CLI, I defined each console port on the Envoy with a name and various connection parameters such as baud rate, stop bits, console passwords, and PDU outlet number. The Envoy pulled relevant data from the switches, such as the running configuration, startup configuration, and uptime, which appeared in the GUI.
The EMS Web GUI is adequate, providing at-a-glance device health and alarm status, task scheduling, device configuration file views, and other rudimentary configuration management tools. You can group devices via filters and push specific configuration commands to devices that meet the filter criteria, such as applying new passwords to every Juniper router.
Day-to-Day Operations
Under normal operating conditions, the Envoy runs tasks at set intervals to keep up with device configuration changes, availability, CPU and memory utilization, and so on. Also, the Envoy offers a direct link to the console of any connected network device via the Envoy CLI. This allows you to SSH into a remote-site Envoy and assume control of a switch or router's serial console as if you were there with a laptop and a serial cable. The Envoy can also be configured as a terminal server, and SSH connections on different TCP ports will allow console access to connected devices.

Some Texas legislators are at it again and want to limit local rule in regards to plastic bags.
Texas House Bill 2416 aims to take away local cities rights to enact a plastic checkout bag ban or fee based ordinance as a way to help reduce plastic pollution. This new bill would roll back the existing bag ordinances in Austin, Brownsville, Fort Stockton, Laguna Vista and South Padre Island. The bill language was recently introduced and is likely to be updated but we need you to contact your state legislators early and often so they are aware of this BAD BAG BILL.
Various communities around Texas have enacted ordinances to reduce plastic bags and the groundswell is growing as more places see the need to reduce plastic pollution.
Please send a letter TODAY! Tell your state legislators not to limit local control!

Guest Post – Lily Bryant
According to a report published in the Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology, there are thought to be between two million and three million acne sufferers in India. Acne can lead to low self-esteem and image problems and is the scourge of teenage boys all over the country. Fortunately towards the end of 2012, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the University of Pittsburgh in the United States discovered that phages living on our skin possess the ability to kill propionibacterium acnes, which is the virus that causes it. This could be good news for those whose skin is tarnished by this condition and mean that an end is in sight.
There has been a rapid increase in the promotion of drugs aimed at enhancing individuals' physical appearances in recent years. The weight loss industry has grown at a yearly rate of over twenty-five percent, with more people than ever purchasing diet pills and fat burners, the hair loss treatment industry has been growing by one percent per year and the acne treatment industry has also seen significant growth. People's daily lives are affected in a major way by how they look so a cure for acne could be both highly profitable for the pharmaceutical company that is responsible for it and highly beneficial to sufferers.
In order to arrive at their discovery, the researchers at the two universities analysed phages and deduced that they make endolysin, which breaks down propionibacterium acnes before killing it. They also discovered that the phages shared eighty-five percent of their DNA. This is unusual for viruses and means that when used as a treatment, it would be unlikely that immune resistance would develop.
Advantages Over Other Forms of Treatment
Development of New Drugs and Treatments
Study co-author Graham Hatfull, who is a biotechnology professor at the University of Pittsburgh, has stated that there are two ways in which this research could be used with regards to the development of new drugs and treatments. He says that phages could either be used directly as therapy for acne or phage-based components could be utilised. Professor Hatfull also says that the work that the University of California, Los Angeles, and the University of Pittsburgh have carried out has provided the world with useful information about phages and paved the way for the thinking up of potential applications for them. He points out that whilst acne is a condition that a significant percentage of the population is likely to suffer from at some point in their lives, there are still currently few effective methods for curing it. Hatfull says that harnessing a virus that naturally preys upon the bacteria that causes spots looks to be a promising means of reducing both the physical and the mental scars that acne can inflict upon individuals.
Implications of the Research
It appears that being forced to endure pimples and spots could soon bee a thing of the past. The results of a study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology in 2010 demonstrate that acne can severely negatively impact upon the self-esteem of sufferers and increase the risk of them developing psychological disorders. It can make them two to three times more likely to become clinically depressed. Therefore it is high time that there was a means of treating it and phages could provide the answer. Now it is just a matter of deciding what the best way of using them to gain the optimum results in acne reduction is.

As rumors of power-hungry infighting dog the IZOD IndyCar Series only days after a stellar Indianapolis 500, fans take a page from the legendary Dan Gurney and voice their advice for the sport's...
Should 47-year-old Jean Alesi have a chance to qualify at Indianapolis? The answer is definitely yes.
The Indy 500 has always meant many things to many people, but its meaning needs to be updated for the modern sports fan.
If America loves the new and unexpected, it may be time to bring it back to the nation's most storied motorsports tradition - the Indianapolis 500.
With only one opportunity a year to tell IndyCar's story to a wide audience, IndyCar and its broadcast partners should do their best to make that story meaningful.
There's a rumor that INDYCAR might stage a second race at the famed Brickyard on the track's road course. Even New Coke wasn't this bad of an idea.
The past decade-plus at Indianapolis has felt like the energy has been slowly draining from the Greatest Spectacle in Racing. This year, the energy is back.
In this week's Media Roundup, we take a quick break from the 24/7 Bruins coverage to spend a few minutes on a sporting event that nationally has become identified with Memorial Day Weekend -- the Indianapolis 500.
The 100th anniversary of the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race happens on Sunday, May 29. We get you up to speed on what you can expect from the Greatest Spectacle in Racing.
One of the more surprising developments of Pole Day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is the lack of speed from Andretti Autosport - leading to a sleepless night as Bump Day looms.

""I want it all," Finley said as the Packers prepared to begin voluntary off-season workouts Monday. "I want to be the best tight end in the league, and I want to be a better father, husband and teammate. "I want people to know they can look at Jermichael Finley and say, 'That's a Packer.' That's what I'm shooting for." There's some interesting stuff in the story about FInley's first two years in the league. As a fan of the Packers and Longhorns, it's nice to see that he's saying the right things. The proof, of course, will be in the pudding, but Finley's on-field pudding was pretty impressive last year.

Electronic Government:
Smart Card Usage is Advancing Among Federal Agencies, Including the Department of Veterans Affairs

The federal government is interested in the use of smart cards--credit card-like devices that use integrated circuit chips to store and process data--for improving the security of its many physical and information assets. Besides providing better authentication of the identities of people accessing buildings and computer systems, smart cards offer a number of other potential benefits and uses, such as creating electronic passenger lists for deploying military personnel and tracking immunization and other medical records. Over the past 2 years, GAO has studied and reported on the uses of smart cards across the federal government. Congress requested that GAO testify on federal agencies' efforts in adopting smart card technology--based on the results of this prior work--and on the specific actions that the Department of Veterans Affairs is taking to implement smart card technology.
As the unique properties and capabilities of smart cards have become more apparent, federal agencies, including the Office of Management and Budget, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the General Services Administration, have acted to advance the governmentwide adoption of smart card technology. In turn, numerous smart card projects that offer a variety of uses and benefits have been launched. As of June 2004, 15 federal agencies reported 34 ongoing smart card projects. Further, agencies' actions toward the adoption of smart cards continue to evolve as understanding of the technology grows. Agencies are moving away from the small-scale, limited-duration demonstration projects of past years (involving as few as 100 cardholders and aiming mostly to show the value of using smart cards for identification) to larger, more integrated, agencywide initiatives involving many thousands (or even millions) of users and that are focused on physical access to facilities and logical (information systems) access to computer systems and networks. In pursuing smart card projects, federal agencies have had to contend with numerous management and technical challenges. However, these challenges may be less imposing in the future because of increased management concerns about securing federal facilities and because technical advances have improved the capabilities and cost effectiveness of smart card systems. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is one of 9 federal agencies currently pursuing large-scale, agencywide smart card initiatives. VA's project, currently in limited deployment, involves using, among other technologies, the One-VA Identification smart card to provide an agencywide capability to authenticate users with certainty and grant them access to information systems essential to accomplishing the agency's business functions. VA estimates that this project will cost about $162 million between 2004 and 2009, and enable it to issue 500,000 smart cards to its employees and contractors.

Is this the end game? Depends on whether ESPN wants to crush the Big East once and for all. The way to do that of course would be to stop Tim Pernetti, the one man who has kept the Big East afloat over the past year as Providence worked to destroy the conference. Rutgers is a clear choice in football obviously, and with Jim Calhoun near retirement, let's hope that if the ACC makes a basketball decision, it's a little more muddled. I actually like the fact that Notre Dame is leaving the Big East from a basketball perspective, as anything that hurts the league's basketball programs relatively is a good. However, this will hurt the football teams' bowl access.
Click the link, it has the transcript of a very interesting interview on this subject. Update: out of San Diego, some early projections have the new Big East contract paying all-sports teams $11 million per year. Take that, Brett McMurphy.
Brett McMurphy from CBS Sports has a track record of being consistently wrong about pretty much everything Big East - whether it's parroting the talking points of disgraced commissioner John Marinatto, or repeating ludicrous lies that Boise State was poised to stay in the Mountain West. McMurphy's latest disaster of an article speculates that the Big East next media deal will be flat. Even though it was already below market value in 2005 once the Big East proved that it wasn't total crap after the first ACC raid. Yes, the Big East lost a ton in basketball - it doesn't matter at all for television revenue, considering the conference is a lot better in football. This article might as well be a press release from ESPN. No, one can never predict who will leave the conference. If the lineup stays the same though, McMurphy will once again to be proven an unquestioning mouthpiece with no willingness at all to vet his biased sources.
The above story from Brett McMurphy is just pathetic in the way that the quoted sources are blatantly lying. The Big East would have been fine if everyone would have just gone along with Marinatto's below-market value ESPN deal? That's like saying everything would have been fine if everyone just kept kissing Providence's ass, which is exactly what history's greatest monster, Mike Tranghese, thinks we all should have kept doing. It's 100% true that John Marinatto, inept and bumbling as he was, was merely intended to be a tool for the likes of Providence. How does that make him in anyway a sympathetic figure? He got exactly what he deserved, and so did the Big East for that matter! The guy was given a first and goal and was tackled for a safety. The question becomes though, why did the basketball schools finally dismiss their puppet who so faithfully did their bidding? Maybe because the writing is on the wall, and they knew that a loser like Marinatto wasn't capable of negotiating with the likes of ESPN and NBC Sports. Still, just because they realized the error of that mistake three years too late doesn't mean that they will suddenly go for a man of vision like Tim Pernetti as the next commissioner. The problem with the Big East is the dead weight, and the likes of Providence won't like hearing that they are the problem holding the Big East back. They are not going to go from the single-least qualified person for the job in Marinatto to the single-most qualified candidate in Tim Pernetti. That's not their style, and the only reason that the possibility is even being contemplated today was because jettisoning the feeble Marinatto was so out of character to begin with. No, the same idiots who got us in to this mess will never accept Pernetti as commissioner. With any luck though, he will be in charge of negotiating the next conference television deal, if not finding the next league commissioner. Of course, if they had only listened to him a year ago in expanding aggressively, dumping Marinatto, telling Villanova football to get lost, and taking a hard line with ESPN, then the Big East would be in a position of strength today rather than fighting for its life.
That is the tone of this linked Sports Business Journal article. Now that the Big XII is locked up, the Big East is the only other conference with rights coming to market soon. Either ESPN can pay a hefty penalty to keep the Big East from going to market, NBC can bid up the rights, or ESPN can pull their strings to destroy the Big East by plucking away teams like Rutgers and Louisville. Either way, there should be some resolution as the clock keeps ticking.
The Big East's schedule hole following West Virginia's departure is definitely the driver of this, so it's possible that Temple football could join before basketball. That's of little comfort to Villanova, which never had a realistic chance to join the Big East for football, but now must watch its struggling basketball program share Philadelphia with the Owls. Temple is definitely a better football program than C-USA also-rans like Memphis, not that there was any way for the Big East to replace West Virginia this fall absent Boise. Having another regional team certainly will have some effect on Rutgers, even if indirectly, such as if they lock up RU's plan B recruits early like Syracuse and UConn have been doing as of late. That will matter somewhat, but it will also hurt other regional programs as well. That could be a good thing though. Rutgers should take that factor, as well as the Big East having let TCU out of the conference without a hitch (which cost RU its seventh home game), and demand the following: 1. Temple should only play three conference home games in 2012, instead of four by merely sliding into WVU's schedule. Yes, Temple is accommodating the Big East on short notice, but it's not like they haven't wanted to desperately return for a decade. 2. For that last home game, Rutgers should make a case that it deserves the game over Syracuse, USF, and Cincinnati (the other Big East teams scheduled to have only three conference home games assuming Temple joins.) Syracuse is leaving, and Cincinnati has no fan support, so they don't gain much more revenue with another home game. USF doesn't need the revenue as much because they just lease Raymond James. Clearly, the extra home game means the most to Rutgers. Plus, adding Temple does throw a bit of a wrench into the future games scheduled with them.
The Providence media (who else) started leaking these rumors recently, and now Brett McMurphy from CBS, who is close with John Marinatto, is now taking the rumors public? My response? Wait for Tom Luicci to confirm. As we saw with the Villanova rumors, what Providence wants does not always come to pass, because the Big East football teams can choose who they want to play against. Memphis would need 75% of the Big East football teams to agree before they join for football. Memphis, of course, is horrible at football, and has not been anywhere close to respectable over the past few years. The only way this remotely makes sense is if FedEx doubled their initial offer. For now, fans of competitive Big East football just need to hope that the dolts in Providence are trying to force their will on everyone else through the media again, and that the smart athletic directors like Tim Pernetti are trying to hold their ground. Pretty much, let's see what the Rutgers leaks are over the next few days. If Luicci are Sargeant say this is a done deal, THEN we're screwed. until then, there is still a flicker of hope. Update: and McMurphy says it's done.
That's the word from Brett McMurphy from CBS. Talk was that this would happen eventually. Navy clearly wanted to have access to a BCS bid and a better television contract, but had to work out clearing their future schedules first. Now the Big East just needs to find a twelfth team (Temple?), and John Marinatto needs to stop opening his big mouth, sit back, and let Tim Pernetti take charge on negotiations with ESPN and Versus. Update: Tom Luicci said that the BE had to make major concessions to Navy. Naturally, the Louisville to the Big XII rumors also restarted, although no one would ever accuse Brad Wolverton of knowing what he's talking about.
Navy isn't on board yet though, and Air Force still has major questions. Hey ACC or Big Ten, if there ever was an opportunity to swoop in at the last minute, now would be the time.
Brett McMurphy reporting that BYU is unlikely to join the Big East due to an unwillingness to surrender home television rights doesn't necessarily mean that BYU to the Big East is dead. It means they're negotiating through the media. Consider the source. If John Marinatto has a story to get out there, McMurphy is one of his preferred mouthpieces. Update: now the AP says the deal is dead. Naturally, the Big East will now go after San Diego State, because God forbid they actually offend Villanova by inviting Temple.

Credenhill Park Wood hosts family fun
3:18pm Thursday 5th June 2014 in News
FAMILIES flocked to a county wood for two days of traditional outdoor adventures last week.
Credenhill Park Wood, owned by The Woodland Trust, held two days of family activities over the half term to encourage people to find out more about the ancient woodland on the edge of Hereford.
Several dozen visitors took part in a range of activities including den building, crafts, games, story telling and cooking on fires.
Jane Craven, of the Woodland Trust, said: "Credenhill is full of history and it's a great location for families to learn about and be inspired by trees and woods. We had a number of families visit over the course of the two days and by all accounts all had a great time. We look forward to seeing more visitors later in the year."
The Woodland Trust will be holding a further three activity days at Credenhill on August 6, 7 and 8.

With all these blog Celtic summaries, it got me to thinking about our X-factor. The practical glass-half-full side worries about minute management, defensive stoppers, and backups for injured starters but if you put that aside for a moment and fantasize about a specific positive change "coming out of nowhere", what would you want the Celtic Surprise to be?
We're poised to be a great transition team... maybe not always the fastest fast break but the starters have their style of getting down the court and Rondo either finding someone or finishing. It's after the rotations start that we lose that identity and what I'm hoping to see is Rondo and someone getting their slashing signals in tune with each other so that when X sees a lane he and Rondo are ready in the moment to exploit it.
As far who that would be... I love to keep rooting for Bill Walker and Tony Allen but both are injured in some way or another and haven't shown an ability to get telepathic. And has Rondo ever played with J.R. Giddens (or even know he exists)? So that leaves Marquis Daniels, who I'm guessing is who all of you probably thought of first, but I just had to try and build it up. Daniels is certainly not a "who's left" kind of player. ;-)
So that's my "Halloween Slasher" Surprise X-factor: That Marquis and Rondo (or whoever's playing point) can get some surprise cutting/slashing into our offense after the substitutions start.
I'd love to read what people think of this and/or hear your hope for how the Celtics could, I mean will, surprise the league "out of nowhere". It's good to be the underdog.

Get a huge salary to spend the day playing video games and building robots. Got your attention?
That's the desired effect of the Discover the World of Technology day, sponsored by Thompson Rivers University, the Kamloops-Thompson School District and local tech-based firms.
On Monday and Tuesday, 140 Grade 8 to 10 students from three southern Interior school districts gathered at the Henry Grube Centre to learn how fun the computing industry can be.
Just a few of the sessions included using an iPhone touch screen to control a robot arm, helping an audio-visual technician create an eye-popping laser show like a real music concert, and even creating a short animation film.
"Smaller schools are not really able to expose the schools to everything here today, so luckily we can bring them into our sessions," said organizer Brenda Mathews, a TRU professor of computing science.
Kamloops tech professionals from B.C. Lottery Corporation, Lee's Music, a small software company called Orchestrate and more volunteered to share their enthusiasm with the kids.
The whole point of the annual event is to expose them to what the field of technology offers and get kids to add technology into their mix when considering university courses.
"It's not sitting at a computer writing code," said Mathews. "Technology is so broad and we're trying to give them some experience with that. And those technology fields, there's huge demand and they pay more, and also the jobs are interesting… like really interesting."
By the end of the day, it seemed, students had bought into the hype.
"I really liked the animation," said Cecelia McLean, a 13-year-old Ashcroft Secondary student. "It was a little tough to get used to but once you get used to it it's really, really fun and we made funny little animation videos."
Her schoolmate, 13-year-old Jericho Hewitt, was keen on robotics. And a third Ashcroft student, 15-year-old Dillon Lambert, said the laser show captured his imagination.
Although most students return to normal curriculums that don't touch on such technologies, all they have to do to ensure they can enter the cool fields they saw during the day is to stay in math.
That's the main message of the day, said Mathews.
"Any entrance into any technology in university takes math. And if they have that, that's the key."

Students from all four District 228 schools showed their support for Oak Forest High School Senior Cody Clemens as he surprised Bremen Senior Kaitlin Alton by asking her to prom. Cody contacted Showdown Committee Member Paige Stryczek in an email on Tuesday asking permission for a few minutes during the event.
Cody's friend Jeremy Green took the microphone and asked Katie to come down from the bleachers and, as students and staff held sign boards that said, "WILL YOU GO TO PROM WITH ME?", Cody presented Katie with a red rose. Of course she said YES!

- Am I terrified of the future?
- Is it in my best interest to work for this company?

When you are comfortable that you can discern your body's Yes and No answers, it is time to address issues that are more complex. In your relaxed meditative state, put forth a troubling situation to your higher Self. Explain the situation at hand in detail; write it down if that feels better. Then ask Yes or No questions about the issue raised. If your body feels aligned after you ask a question, the answer is an emphatic YES. If your body feels misaligned, the answer may be NO or further questioning may be necessary. Those who are persistent and patient enough can do question and answer sessions like this until they facilitate an explosive emotional and energetic release. Once a lesson is learned, bodily discomfort and difficult feelings associated with it go away forever. Patience is required in this exercise.
Many are afraid to know their Truth—consciously or unconsciously—recognizing that the rug may be pulled out from under their lives if they learn it. The feeling is akin to the emotion in place prior to being fed into the jaws of some huge unknown creature with giant, knife-sharp fangs. Ask why you are afraid to know your Truth, and the answer will most likely surprise you. Please know that despite your misgivings, the unknown is a very powerful and necessary place; all creation comes forth from the unknown.
Some wonder whether there is danger in trusting the higher Self in all things, for they do not recognize what guides them and they do not trust themselves. Know that most have been taught that they are not trustworthy in one or more ways. Regardless of conditioning, however, your higher Self knows what needs accomplishing in your earthly realm, and it will not guide to that which is not possible within the confines of your current existence. If it feels right in your body, it is right for you, period, regardless of what anybody else thinks. Get to know your higher Self through your body. It will be the best investment you ever make.

A little less than 9 months ago, the Arizona Cardinals made what was called by many, the blockbuster trade of the season, sending a Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a second round pick to Philadelphia in exchange for Kevin Kolb.
Kolb ultimately failed to deliver in 2011, and while Cards fans remain hopeful that he will improve in 2012 the team's weaknesses in pass rushing and on the O-Line have left many resentful of no longer having a second round pick.
Trading down, in the hopes of picking up a few additional draft picks, therefore, is a popular option in the eyes of many of the Bird Gang. Indeed, if, as predicted several mock-drafts, the top-tier O-Line talent is already off the board by the thirteenth overall pick, it becomes the favored option for most. But for the Cardinals brass, this brings more than it's fair share of difficulties.
The Cardinals off-season has been slow, to say the least. Their high-profile pursuit of Peyton Manning notwithstanding, financial concerns have effectively shackled the Arizona team in the free agency period, and will continue to have lasting repercussions as they prepare for the draft.
According to calculations by Aaron Wilson the Cardinals have just $8,795 in unallocated cap space. That's not a typo, the infamously frugal Cardinals have spent almost every single dollar of the $120.6 million allotted to them, with barely enough left over to even purchase a used Toyota.
To put it in perspective, at the time of the tweet, the next worst-off team, the Carolina Panthers, had nearly half a million dollars to spare, while the sixth-ranked Atlanta Falcons had more than $1.6 million in reserve.
But what does any of this have to do with the draft you may ask? Simple. Drafting a player isn't enough. Calling his name doesn't make him a Cardinal, you still have to pay him his salary. And unlike veteran contracts, which include more than their fair share of loopholes and wiggle-room to help deal with the salary cap, rookie contracts are effectively set-in-stone thanks to the new NFL Rookie Pay Scale.
Trading down in the first round, then, may seem like a good idea—the later in the draft we pick, the less we pay the player.
Unfortunately the reality is that the difference in pay between 13th and 17th or 18th—a realistic expectation in any trade scenario—is negligible, and certainly goes no distance at all to offset the additional salary concerns a second round rookie would add to the team.
Adding a second round pick would force the team to create find another million dollars in cap room for 2012, on top of the more than $2.5 million required to land their first round pick.
The Cardinals have already done practically all of the restructuring they can do for 2012, and while signing Calais Campbell to a long term deal—already a top priority—will undoubtedly free up some space, the Cardinals will still inevitably need to part ways with some players to create space to sign their draft picks.
While the difference in salary between a 13th and 18th overall pick may be negligible, the difference in skill rarely is.
It's that, even perceived, difference in quality which is why there will be takers for any such trade. The Cardinals will need to think long and hard before making any such deal, because it is no benefit to anyone to gain a second round pick, if they can't afford to pay him, or any of the later picks they make.

Sand Volleyball Releases 2014 Schedule
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – After a record-setting 2013 indoor volleyball season that saw the Dolphins compete in the opening NCAA round, the JU volleyball program is turning its attention to sand, releasing its 2014 schedule.
The Dolphins will compete in three tournaments before the Atlantic Sun Tournament April 18-20.
"We are looking forward to this sand season," said Head Coach Michelle Collier. "We had a tremendous indoor season and our goal is to continue to get better and better with our programs. We will take the same work ethic and approach to the sand this spring and work hard to put ourselves in position to fight for the conference championship.
"Our players have learned from this indoor season and understand what it takes to be successful, but now we have to hit the sand, work hard as a team, and push this program to new heights," Collier continued.
JU begins its season against FIU on March 7 before competing in back-to-back tournaments at UNF (March 8-9) and at Cocoa Beach (March 14-16).
"The exciting thing about this sand season is that we have a lot of depth in our roster, differently from the previous two seasons where we have had a lot of individual pair's success.
"I expect us to be a strong team from the number one to the number five pair," Collier added. "The depth we have will create great competition among ourselves and will push everyone to be at their best every day. This is exciting for a coach and I can't wait to get it started."
In 2013, Jacksonville finished 4-4 in conference, good for third of five in the Atlantic Sun.

11:00am Sunday 15th June 2014 in News
THREE people were rescued from the River Blackwater at West Mersea after a dinghy capsized.
A yacht noticed the dinghy had overturned and alerted Thames Coastguard around 2.45pm on Saturday.
It sent the West Mersea inshore lifeboat out but a safety boat from the nearby Marconi sailing club had reached the people first.
It had taken the people, who were unharmed, and the dinghy back to the shore.

Motivation is a wonderful thing.
It takes great employees and makes them even better. It instills confidence, and boosts morale. But too often employee incentives don't match company goals or culture. We tend to reward employees with sugar and sweets—a nice gesture, but sugar highs lead to afternoon crashes, and employees end up right back where they started.
Employee incentive programs don't just reward. They improve morale, strengthen workplace relationships, and reinforce a team mentality. But what if there was a better way to motivate and reward your employees?
Incorporating massage into any employee incentive program can give your office the motivation it needs with an incentive you won't regret. They'll work hard for a massage, and you'll reap the unintended benefits—a workforce who's less stressed, more productive, and all around happier.
So whether you're rewarding attendance, years of service, Secretary's Day, employee of the month, or just because you're a rock star boss, Incorporate Massage can help you turn employee incentives into a healthy reward.
Our team of licensed massage therapists can help you build a massage-based incentive program for your office. Whether it's yearly, monthly, weekly, or even daily, we'll create an employee incentive program that your office will never forget, and certainly one that you won't regret.
