What a treat… peanut butter cookies, banana ice cream, chocolate… individually each is amazing all on its own… together they are like a fine tuned orchestra and the taste buds are the back up choir singing its praises.
I almost forgot about sharing this recipe until today when I found Bob enjoying one as he sat down to rest for a few before returning to some hard work on an irrigation job. There isn't a thing that that man can't do. He amazes me daily. :)
We did things a little backwards this Spring. We visited a nursery and bought oodles of trees to plant in our yard, mostly up near the house. Without thinking things through, we just loaded up the truck (several times *cough*) and brought them home to plant. Where? We had no idea… they were just too pretty to pass up.
I am an designer at heart so moving and rearranging all the new trees brought me such delight. A young man helped us with part of the process, bless his heart, I think I drove him crazy. He carried the trees (let's not forget to mention that they were heavy and around 10′ tall) to the places where I thought I wanted them to live. I would run to the left side of the patio, "Looks good from here."… I ran to the right side…"Good from here too!"…. (he thought I was done)…"Wait, let me go up on the porch and see what it looks like from there. Move it a little to the left. Perfect."…. "Just about done, let me see what it looks like from inside the house, be right back." Nope! Gotta move it somewhere else, it blocks a huge chunk of the view." lol Imagine going through all that with over 20 trees. :) What?! These trees will be around longer than I ever will, they need to be in the right place.
So, with in days the new plants and trees were in the ground. That is when it hit us… WATER! DOH! They need water! There isn't any water lines that will reach them. Bob had to remap the irrigation system so water could reach all the new greenry. We decided that paying for the trees was the least expensive and easiest part of the whole ordeal. We didn't learn our lesson after that initial purchase either…. no, it took a few more truck loads of trees before it really sunk in. Well, shoot, I really got off track here. What did that have to do with today's dessert. Not a darn tootin' thing.. other than the fact that I can confirm that I find my husband to be totally amazing and it blesses me to make such delicious treats for him to enjoy. :)
If you have a peanut allergy, you could always use any other nut or seed butter in its place. I for one, love peanut butter but only indulge in it occasionally. It's one of those foods that can get away from me and devour it far to easily. Can I get an "amen"?! I hope you enjoy these as much as we do. Blessings, amie sue
Peanut butter cookie:
Banana ice cream:
Chocolate coating:
Peanut butter cookie:
Banana ice cream:
Chocolate coating:
To create this… do the following.
Press the peanut butter cookie layer on the bottom of the pan. Then smooth the banana ice cream over the top and slide into the freezer until solid.
Remove from freezer and place the top layer of the peanut butter cookie on the banana ice cream. Return to freeze for a short stent to get it all good and firm.
Remove from the pan and have your chocolate sauce ready for dipping.
Cut into 2×2" squares.
Slide pop cycle sticks into the banana ice cream.
Time for a chocolate bath. Use a spoon to ladle chocolate around the top.
Lift out and let excess chocolate drip from the bar into the bowl.
While the chocolate is still soft, place in the almonds and with your fingers press the almonds up around the sides. How far up is your call. Because the bars are frozen, the chocolate will firm up quite quickly, so don't dilly dally or else it will be too dry to get the almonds to stick.
Place in the freezer on a cookie sheet to firm up again. Decide on how you want to store them in the freezer. I wrapped each one individually two different ways. Then I placed them inside of a freezer safe container for extra protection. Below, I used some natural wax bags to place them in, then tied it off with twine.
Another quick and easy way is to tear off a piece of Press and Seal wrap, gathering it up around the stick. It sticks to itself but I added the twine for a rustic flare.
Hi there! These look devine! Question: In step 5 of the peanut butter cookie prep, you say to repeat the process…do you mean I will need two batches of the cookie ingredients and two 8×8 pans to make two separate layers? Or should I simply divide the cookie dough? Thanks. Can't wait to make these beauties!
peanut butter isn't raw. you shouldn't people tell that. just because you don't bake something does't make it raw.
These look yummy. My questions are :
How long will it take to freeze bananas. And when do u make the chocolate dip before you freeze or after?
Hi amie sue I have my almonds soaking right now I was wondering if I don't dehydrate them will that mess up the recipe
These look wonderful. Believe they will be our Thursday splurg day treat!
Oh Amie sue these are going to be SO yummy! I will use sun butter sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter and brown rice syrup instead of agave. I'm okay with these subs like you if I only indulge occasionally:)I can not get over how lovely these turned out and how beautifully you wrapped them :) I can not wait to try these so grateful for your recipe and getting to hear about the creation of your beautiful garden and living space and the dedication and fortitude you and Bob have put forth to make it all come together. It's going to be simply glorious! May God continue to bless you and Bob and each of your new beautiful trees and planting for too many years to count.
Hi Amie SUE its aliyah again could i use cashews instead of almonds i guess im impatient and i want to make this as soon as possible
I was still going to soak cashews and dehydrate them but there soak time is a lot less than the almonds so we can devour them sooner. I still have the almonds soaking and I will make another batch with those but I want to make them first thing in the morning when I get off.The cashews are already in the dehydrator.I know they will both be delicious but ill let you know the difference.
HI Amie I was looking over my ingredients and I realized I have carob powder not raw cacoa powder can I use that instead.
Hi, Today is day 22 of my 30 day cleanse and i'm looking forward to trying all these beautiful recipes when iv'e finished.i'm looking forward to sharing them with my 3 grown sons. i'm sure they'll come to like eating raw as much as i'm looking forward to.Thank you so much for sharing your recipes and your time. Many blessing. Lorraine.
They look very good.
Can you help me find the best substitut for banana because they are one of the rare fruits i don't eat.
Thank you
P.S. your Touchdown Spicy Cheese Dip is made almost every week from the moment i learn it one or two month ago and i have to restrain myself not to lick the bol
Hi Amie Sue,Well I made it,and everything turned out perfectly except the chocolate. I don't know what I did wrong.it taste fine but it is not liquidy like it should be.It looks like it seized up but I didn't use a blender. I used a whisk and a bowl.THe bars are all cut up in squares and waiting in freezer.i have to get ready for work so I will try to make another batch of chocolate in the morning.Any ideas on what went wrong?
I made two batches of chocolate and they both seized. I used raw carob. I notice that you ask the person before me who had the same problem if all the ingredients were at room temp. I used maple syrup and it came straight from the fridge. Do you think that was the problem?
I am doing a raw cleanse right now and I have to say…. I can't wait to be done so I can try this recipe. It looks sooooo good.

(WJLA) - The United States Navy is intent on having the Office of Personnel Management obtain all available police records connected to potential employees or contractors that it's performing background checks on, officials say.
Naval officials say that the proposal, which must be approved by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, is one of three recommendations the organization pushed forward in an effort to step up security procedures.
The recommendations come in the wake of the Sept. 16 shooting at the Washington Navy Yard, during which Navy reservist and contractor Aaron Alexis shot and killed 12 people.
Questions have been raised in the wake of the shooting, including why several incidents in Alexis' past did not come to light until after he was killed. These include an unreported arrest, blemishes on his credit report and other incidents.
Two other security recommendations have already been approved by Ray Mabus, the secretary of the Navy. Those requests include having command security responsibilities assigned only to executive officers and requiring senior-level accountability on the evaluations and fitness reports of everyone in the Navy.
Naval and government officials have been trying to figure out since the shooting how Alexis received a secret security clearance despite the aforementioned incidents. In one unreported portion, Alexis shot out the tires of a construction worker's car several years ago.
However, it was only reported that Alexis had "deflated" the tires, and during a 2007 interview with OPM, firearms were never mentioned. No charges were filed.
The Navy Yard shooter also went AWOL during his stint of active duty in the Navy because he was arrested and spent time in jail after being cited for disorderly conduct outside a nightclub.

WASHINGTON (November 2, 2013) Budget negotiations in Congress are about choices and priorities, President Barack Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday.
Mr. Obama urged Congress to pass a budget that includes spending on education, infrastructure and research.
He said there's an obsession with cutting spending just for the sake of cutting and said it's not helping grow the economy.
He pointed out that deficits are falling fast on his watch.
House and Senate budget negotiators hope to strike a deal that would avert a new round of automatic cuts set to hit the Pentagon and domestic programs.
In the Republican address, U.S. Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind., criticized Mr. Obama over the problem-plagued health care website and insurance cancellation notices that some Americans have received.
He said the health care law can't be fixed and Americans should start over.

Lawn maintenance can make a house and yard a beautiful home. But what we do to maintain our lawns could be detrimental to the environment. Remember, anything mixed with rain becomes storm water pollution.
Over-fertilizing your yard can lead
to algae blooms in our creeks
It's not just rain that causes storm water pollution. Water from garden hoses and sprinkler systems can just as easily pick up pollution from surfaces and take it to our creeks and lakes. Lawns need about one inch of water a week (about the size of a tuna can) and that includes rainfall. Stick to that rule of thumb to avoid over-watering and increasing runoff.

This interview airs beginning June 8.
D. P. Newton has preserved and arranged a most remarkable record of life during an era of turmoil in our nation. The White Oak Civil War Museum reflects his passion and dedication to accuracy in compiling this unique and extensive collection. In this video, host Debby Klein meets Mr. Newton at the museum on CRRL Presents, a Central Rappahannock Regional Library production.
The Fredericksburg Area Museum and Cultural Center is preparing for a new exhibition, "Fredericksburg Remembers 9/11," to commemorate the ten year anniversary of the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. The museum wants to partner with our community and is asking you to share your memories.
The exhibit will focus on these themes:
- first responders at the Pentagon or World Trade Center
- anyone who was an eyewitness to the attacks
- airline pilots who were on duty/flying that day
- local citizens and their experiences at school, work, or home as the events of the day unfolded
- aftermath stories
- the Muslim members of our community and what their experiences have been as they relate to the day of the attacks and the months and years following
- how far we have come in the ten years since the attacks and how our every day lives have changed - for example stricter airport security and our involvement in wars overseas
Do you have stories, original objects, and images you might consider sharing?
Fredericksburg-area residents are encouraged to help save a part of their state's heritage by sharing original Civil War letters, diaries and photos with archivists from the Library of Virginia. Of special interest are "materials created during the period 1859-1867 that reflect social, political, military, business and religious life in Virginia during the period of the Civil War and the early period of Reconstruction." The original documents will be scanned and returned.
The Fredericksburg Area Museum and Cultural Center, partnering with the Library of Virginia and the Virginia Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War Commission, will host this one-day event at the museum's Catherine W. Jones McKann Center on May 7 from 9 am - 5 pm. The scanned materials will be part of a statewide, online collection of original Civil War manuscripts that still remain in private hands. For more information, click here.
Appointments are now being made, and are strongly encouraged. A limited number of walk-ins will be accommodated as scheduling allows. To make an appointment to have your documents digitized, contact Heidi Krofft, special events coordinator, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 540/371-3037, ext. 141.
This interview airs beginning April 26.
Many years of work with the Stafford County Historical Society, an extensive collection of historic artifacts, and authoring a definitive history of the county have made Al Conner an authority and the person to talk to about Stafford County history. Debby Klein does just that when she visits Al Conner on CRRL Presents, a Central Rappahannock Regional Library production.
This interview airs beginning April 13.
Dr. Rachel Clay's biography, The Orioles; Second String Albert "Diz" Russell, documents the history of the legendary vocal group, the Orioles, and reflects on the great influence of its members and rhythm and blues in the history of American music. Debby Klein joins Dr. Clay in her home on CRRL Presents, a Central Rappahannock Regional Library production.
George Mason, future patriot, spent part of his childhood in Stafford County. His father died by drowning when he was very young, so he sometimes stayed with relatives including his uncle, John Mercer who lived at Marlborough Point. His uncle was a lawyer and landowner. He had a large library for the time—more than 1,500 books—and 11-year-old George enjoyed the library, including law commentaries his uncle had written.
Civil War Sesquicentennial programs at the library kick off with a lecture series, "The Civil War Comes to Stafford," to be presented at the England Run branch. Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park Historians will bring the Civil War to our backyard.
Join us for the first lecture in this series:
The Crossing: Slaves, Stafford, and the Great 1862 Exodus to Freedom, lecture by John Hennessy
England Run, Thursday, February 10, 7-8pm
In the spring and summer of 1862, Fredericksburg and Stafford witnessed one of the greatest flights to freedom in American history. As many as 10,000 slaves fled homes, farms, and plantations in nearby counties, bound for the Union army along the Rappahannock River. For individual slaves, the exodus represented an immense risk and an uncertain journey into freedom. For white residents, the exodus meant rapid and profound social change--the end of a labor system more than 200 years old. And for the army and federal government, the flood of freedom seekers--months before the Emancipation Proclamation--raised a profound and simple question for: what now? This program will look at the great 1862 exodus across the Rappahannock from the human level, men and women forcing change on a community, state, and nation unprepared.
Find out more about Civil War Sesquicentennial events and resources.
This interview airs beginning February 2.
Caring and curious about her ancestry and her extensive family's place in the history of White Oak, in Stafford County, Lou "Whitefeather" Silver has explored her genealogy on a journey back through 400 years and 16 generations. She shares her extensive knowledge and amazing memory in an interview with Debby Klein on CRRL Presents, a Central Rappahannock Regional Library production.
This interview airs beginning January 19.
Jack Edlund has been slowly uncovering the secrets of Fredericksburg's Old Stone Warehouse. He is also a collector of old and interesting artifacts and an artist. Jack talks about his dedication to discovery and digging in the dirt to learn about the past.
As my cotton-gloved hands examined the woven fabric, I felt the thrill of encountering a link to the age of discovery. Over a hundred years old and probably unseen and untouched for decades, this artifact of the Cook Islands was being carefully prepared by us technicians to be moved to the Smithsonian Institution's storage facility. Some twenty years later, Professor Nicholas Thomas' Cook: The Extraordinary Voyages of Captain James A. Cook has given me much better perspective on these pieces of the past.

TOWNSEND, Tenn. -- Joseph Wayne Walters, 64, died March 23, 2007, at Blount Memorial Hospital in Maryville.
Born Nov. 24, 1942, in New Madrid, Mo., to Elsie Reva Rodgers Walters and the late Joseph Henry Walters, his family moved to Kennett, Mo., in 1950 where he attended Kennett Public Schools and graduated from Kennett High School in 1960. He also graduated from Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau, Mo. He moved his family to Apopka, Fla., in 1967 and he worked and retired from the Seminole County Department of Public Safety with the fire department. After retirement, he moved to Townsend.
In addition to his mother, he is survived by his wife, Judith N. Walters of Townsend; four sons, Jon Michael "Mike" Walters of Riverside, N.J., Joseph Edward Walters of St. Cloud, Fla., and Jeffery Wayne Walters and James D.

The full version of this tabletting feature can be read in the June issue of our digital magazine: http://www.pharmtech.com/ptedigital0610
Two major breakthroughs in granule drying technologies have taken place in recent years: the development of better and more robust and integrated PAT tools and probes, with the ability to clean and calibrate without interrupting the process, and the introduction of continuous processing for granulation and drying. The use of PAT tools for inline/inprocess measurement of CQAs has helped the pharma industry obtain a better understanding of processes, which makes it possible to implement QbD in the development of new products, as well as to improve current processes. This helps to improve production efficiency, product quality and safety.
Drawbacks of existing systems and solutions
One of the main drawbacks of current drying systems is that they are all batch systems. Even with the implementation of on-line measurement tools, batch processes are more difficult to understand and control because they are in a continuous state of change. As mentioned above, when an outofspecification result is detected in batch systems, it is often not possible to correct it by changing process parameters and a complete batch is wasted.
Continuous systems can overcome this problem. As a continuous system reaches a steady state, it is much easier to understand and control. An advanced control system continuously monitors the process and when it detects a trend to deviate from steady state, it will automatically take action by changing process parameters to avoid out-of-spec results. In newly developed continuous systems, steady state is reached very fast and there is always only a small amount of product in process; in the unlikely event that out-of-spec product is produced, only a small amount needs to be discarded.
Because of the advantages, we will see a move from batch systems to continuous systems, and a widespread implementation of online measurement tools and advanced control systems, such as those already seen in the chemical industry, only on a smaller scale. I also believe that continuous systems will be more flexible; not continuous systems producing only a single product for years, but systems that can produce several products in campaigns of varying length.
Additionally, given the fact that a tablet press is already a continuous process, we will see the implementation of truly continuous production systems, going from powders to tablets without products in quarantine waiting to be released after drying and before tabletting. With advanced control systems containing feed forward and feedback loops, the online measurements of CQAs will be sufficient for realtime release.

Earlier today, the gumshoes over at Eater put together an interesting restaurant rumor/hypothesis that goes something like this: Hot on the heels of accolades and plaudits galore — including James Beard awards and a four-star review from the New York Times — Eleven Madison Park's executive chef Daniel Humm and manager Will Guidara are assuming ownership of the restaurant from operator Danny Meyer and the Union Square Hospitality Group. Well, not them, exactly: Word is, the folks behind the upcoming NoMad Hotel are rumored to have partnered with Humm and Guidara on the sale, said to have taken place a few months ago. (Guidara told Grub Street over e-mail that he has "no comment at this time" — make of that what you will.)
The rumor would seem to make sense. After all, Humm and Guidara are busy putting together a new restaurant (as well as overseeing the entire food service operation) at the forthcoming NoMad hotel at 1770 Broadway, set to open in February. As of now, neither Guidara nor Union Square Hospitality Group will confirm or deny, but the comments section of the Eater post is so replete with all sorts of "well, duh," and "of course this is happening" industry-sounding sentiment that it makes us wonder why our older sister who lives with a bunch of chickens in Eastern Long Island didn't call and tell us first.
Meanwhile, more uptown, when we last checked in on the status of Donatella Arpaia's three-and-a-half-year-old Puglian restaurant Mia Dona, a rep confirmed it would close over the weekend, a claim restaurant staff wasn't quite willing to confirm last week. We figured we'd follow up today, and a phone call to the restaurant led only to a chilly "voice mail full" recording. Hope surfaced, however, in the unlikely form of Open Table, which indicates reservations are available for … next week.
But a quick Internet search led to the discovery of this real estate listing, and a follow-up phone call to the restaurant: "We're closed for good," said an employee who answered the phone. "We're here emptying out the restaurant."
More details on both situations as they come along.

It works for cars, so why not bikes? Just like that fix-a-flat stuff you wonder about using, this milky goo seals small leaks and punctures, up to 1/4in. And the stuff works really well. The kit can convert most tubed tires to tubeless. And if you're already riding tubeless, it makes running low pressure and riding through thornbushes, glass gardens, and herds of goathead thorns all the safer.
For those who are wondering, no the sealant doesn't freeze, doesn't alter the balance of the wheel, and can work in any kind of tubeless tire when combined with a UST or tubeless-ready rim. If you have a standard clincher wheelset, bear in mind that you'll still need to prep your wheels with a tubeless conversion kit before taking advantage of this sealant. The one-quart container can seal up to 16 tires.

The standard
What more do you need?
Best Tire Sealant
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
No two ways about, Stan's is the best for tire sealant.
Great stuff, keeps you rolling
All you need is a valve core tool, a syringe, and the sealant to maintain the proper amount in your tires. I just pull the core. Pull the plunger out of the syringe and place in the valve stem, and pour about an Oz in the syringe. Gravity does its part (no plunger needed). Replace the valve core and pump up the tire. All done, get back out there. I love seeing the little wet spots after a desert ride because I know Stan's is working.
one and only
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I was hesitant about going tubeless at first but now I will never run tubes again. And when you do switch you want to run the best and Stans is the best.
No need for the others
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is the best sealant available. That is all.
Best sealant made
Stans milk is the best money can buy. I've used a few sealants and stans has never failed me.
Continues to be the standard
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
It's simple, when setting your tire up tubeless, use Stan's.
The best
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The industry standard. Works great on the mountain bike. Also works well in tubulars.
Stan's NoTubes Tire Sealant
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Yup it works, no question. Great stuff! Let me know when there is something better out there.
Simply amazing
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Would you even consider running tubeless without sealant? No way! This stuff is just plain amazing. I've literally never flatted while using it. Punctured? Yep, lots of times, but never a puncture that didn't seal without me even slowing down a bit.
Work Smarter, Not Harder
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Consider spending the extra $10 for the Stans Sealant Injector to make application quick and painless!
Great Sealant
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Though this is the only sealant Ive used it also the only one Ive ever had to. Ive not had a flat in over 4 years since using this product. That should be all you need to know.
Does this product come with the injector?
No More Pinch Flats
I've been on tubeless tires for about half a season now and love them. I particularly like being able to run at a lower tire pressure. I just picked up an extra bottle of Stan's to refill them as we move into mountain bike season.
Works great
This is awesome. Much better than tubes
Yeah... it's good!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
How did we survive mountain biking before Stan's? I had a friend ask the other day what the pros and cons are of setting up tubeless vs. using tube. The short answer... there are no cons. Why wouldn't you set up tubeless. No puncture flats and no pinch flats even at a low pressure. So, buy Stan's no tubes and don't get flat's anymore. You do have to refresh the Stan's every 6 months or so.
Flats - A thing of the past with Stans!!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Awesome product like all of the other reviews state!
So here are a couple of compatibility questions you might have:
- You can use this on both Presta and Schrader valves.
- It is CO2 compatible as well.
Nothing else needs to be said really ... If you are thinking of running a tubeless setup get Stans No Tubes Tire Sealant!!!
The Original
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Tubeless wheels and standard now and everyone is running them with sealant and having the best time ever. There's some competition in the sealant market now, but I will always stick with Stan's because they were the guys/gals who started it all. I have no idea if they invented it, but they were the ones who put their faith in it and brought it to us to enjoy. And best of all, their product just plain works. I've been using it for 4 years straight now with an absurdly small amount of flats. I literally had zero flats for the 2015 season, which I am almost too scared to type of of superstition, but it's that good.
And to top it off, the price is absurdly reasonable compared to pretty much all other bike specific products.
Industry standard
Great product that performs and is inexpensive compared to other sealing solutions. I've yet to have an issue with stans.
It does the job
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I do replace it at least 2x a year, it gets solid and dries up, so make sure you are following the replacement guidelines.

EXETER — Aaron Desjardins, the 37-year-old man charged with killing his former wife Amy Warf, intends to use an insanity defense when his case goes to trial in Rockingham County Superior Court, according to Associate Attorney General Susan Morrell.
The prosecutor said Desjardins did not state in a document his attorney filed with the court what specific psychiatric illness he'll claim he was suffering earlier this year when he allegedly killed Warf, a Hampton resident at the time of her death.
Asked if she knew if Desjardins had ever been treated or hospitalized for any psychiatric condition, Morell said, "I can't comment on that."
Desjardins is facing first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder and conspiracy to commit hindering apprehension charges in connection with the slaying of his ex-wife.
His attorney could not be reached for comment.
Warf's body was discovered on the morning of March 7 by firefighters extinguishing a small fire at the former City Concrete Co. building at 2 Hampton Road in Exeter. Authorities said the blaze was set.
Aaron Desjardins' current wife, Sarah Desjardins, 35, also faces charges of accomplice to first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder and conspiracy to commit hindering apprehension.
A third suspect, Michele Corson, 44, was indicted on charges of accomplice to first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder and conspiracy to commit hindering apprehension. Corson is Aaron Desjardins' sister.
Indictments filed in Rockingham County Superior Court allege that Desjardins drove his wife's car from Epping to Exeter to kidnap Warf and used a gun to hold her against her will.
Desjardins then allegedly took Warf to the City Concrete building, where he slit her throat with a knife and then burned her body, the indictment states.
The indictments also allege that Aaron Desjardins burned and disposed of other evidence and discussed "alternative suspects" in the killing with Sarah Desjardins and Corson.
Prosecutors allege that Warf's killing was part of a murder conspiracy that took place between Jan. 1 and April, a time period that extends past the date of Warf's death. Aaron Desjardins and Warf have a son who was 1 year old at the time of her death.

|Y2K Rewind: A Review of Weather in 2000
The last year of the millenium was marked by extremes in weather both locally and nationwide. In February, a devastating tornado outbreak killed 19 people in Southwest Georgia. Here in Tallahassee, temperatures were above normal for most of the year with very hot conditions during spring and summer. This was followed by a sharp turn to colder than normal conditions beginning in September with very chilly conditions in November and December. The transition month of September was also one of the few very wet months of the year, aided in large part by the impact of two tropical storms, Gordon and Helene. The remainder of the year was very dry and 2000 went into the books as the third consecutive year of drought in Tallahassee. Following are a few of the highlights in weather that occurred in the NWS Tallahassee County Warning & Forecast Area.
Southwest Georgia Tornado Outbreak of 13-14 February 2000
Beginning Sunday evening, 13 February 2000, and continuing into the early morning hours of Monday, 14 February, the NWS office in Tallahassee issued 52 warnings. These included 25 tornado, 24 severe thunderstorm, and 3 special marine warnings. During this time, warnings were issued for three deadly tornadoes, which caused the loss of 19 lives in Southwest Georgia, an event unequaled in this part of the state in nearly 50 years. Figure 1 shows where the fatal tornadoes occurred in Mitchell, Grady and Colquitt Counties in southwest Georgia. Injuries were reported in two other counties. See our web page on the outbreak to learn more about this tragic event. While this was certainly the most significant severe weather episode of the year, other days with notable severe weather occurred on January 24; March 11 & 16; April 24; July 12, 20-21 & 22-23; August 9-10, 18 & 25; September 22; November 9 and December 16.
Mild Winter - Hot Spring and Summer
As can be seen in Figure 2, the winter and spring months were warmer than normal with only brief cool periods. The last significant freeze of the season occurred during the first week in February. Of the first eight months of the year, only April was below normal. During summer, the heat was unrelenting, with only a few days all season long averaging cooler than normal. The temperature reached or exceeded 100 degrees in Tallahassee eleven times last summer. The first occurrence was on May 28, the earliest such occurrence in the season since observations began at the airport location back in 1961. July was particularly brutal and several all-time records were tied or broken. The mercury reached the century mark eight times that month, including six days in a row from the 15th to the 20th. The temperature reached 103 degrees on three occasions in July, which ties for the warmest temperature ever recorded at the airport location. On July 18, the mean temperature for the day was 91, which tied for the warmest day of all time. The lowest temperature recorded on the 17th was 80 degrees. This marks the first time on record that the temperature never fell below 80 during an entire calendar day in Tallahassee. In August, the mercury never reached 100, but did soar into the upper 90s seven times, including three consecutive days in the middle of the month when the daily maximum was 99.
Cold Autumn and Early Winter
A sharp turn to cooler than normal conditions began in September with temperatures averaging below normal during the last four months of the year. An early season cold snap occurred during the second week of October. Daytime maximum temperatures were in the lower 60s on the ninth and tenth, below normal even for January. The first freeze of the season occurred on November 21, a bit later than usual. However, the next morning saw a hard freeze across the region with a marginal freeze the day after that, Thanksgiving Day. In December, temperatures dipped below the freezing mark on nearly half the days with hard freezes occurring nine times. The coldest temperature of the year 2000 occurred on the last day of the year when the mercury dipped to 18 degrees on December 31, the coldest December temperature in Tallahassee since 1989. The last time it got colder than 18 degrees was back in February 1996. The average temperature for December 2000 was 48.9 degrees, the coldest such month in Tallahassee in eleven years. On December 19, there was even a trace of snow observed, the first such occurrence since January 1996. The cold weather continued into the first part of 2001 with hard freezes occurring on ten of the first eleven days of January. In total, there were 29 freezes in Tallahassee from November 21 through January 11, including an incredible ten days in a row from December 29 through January 7.
Another Year of Drought
The local drought that began in the spring of 1998 continued for a third consecutive year during 2000. As can be seen in Figure 3, the rainfall deficit grew steadily during the year, peaking on July 22 at over 26 inches. May was particularly dry with only one day of measurable rain totaling just 0.16 inches. After regaining some ground in September, the autumn months were very dry and the deficit rose back above 22 inches by year's end. During one of the driest stretches, only one day of measurable rain occurred between September 27 and November 8. The annual rainfall total in Tallahassee was just 44.53 inches, which makes 2000 the driest year since 1955.
Tropical Storms Gordon and Helene
The only two named tropical cyclones to make landfall in the United States during the 2000 season came ashore along the Gulf Coast of North Florida in September. Tropical Storm Gordon made landfall near Cedar Key, FL, on the evening of September 17. Gordon spawned a few tornadoes across central and south Florida and caused some tidal flooding along the west coast of the peninsula. After moving inland, the remnants of the storm caused some flooding in a few southeastern states. Fortunately, the Florida Big Bend was on the weak left side of the storm at landfall and there were minimal impacts. Only about two thirds of an inch of rain fell in Tallahassee and the peak wind gust that evening was just 24 mph. Additional information on Tropical Storm Gordon can be found here.
Less than five days later, Tropical Storm Helene made landfall near Fort Walton Beach, FL, during the early morning hours of September 22. Much of the Big Bend and southwest Georgia were on the stronger right side of this storm at landfall. Even though Helene was only a minimal tropical storm as it crossed the coast, with peak sustained winds of only 40 mph, winds did gust to tropical storm force in Tallahassee with a peak gust of 35 mph. The highest wind gust in the area was 45 mph at Cape San Blas. Heavy surf resulted in some minor beach erosion. The most significant impact from Helene was the flooding tropical rains. Nearly eight inches of rain fell in Tallahassee with up to ten inches closer to the coast in places like Apalachicola. Flooding was extensive in Franklin, Wakulla and Leon Counties. These and several other counties were declared federal disaster areas. Numerous homes along the Sopchoppy River were flooded as the river crested at a record 34.9 feet. Nearly 70 streets in Tallahassee were impassable due to high water and 5,000 homes lost power in Leon and Wakulla Counties. Helene also spawned numerous tornadoes in the Big Bend area with an F1 tornado touching down along Highway 65 in Franklin County and a waterspout coming ashore at Alligator Point. Fortunately, there were no local fatalities associated with Helene, but a tornado did cause one fatality in South Carolina as the remnants of Helene moved northeast. Additional information on Tropical Storm Helene can be found here.
National Weather Headlines
Many of the same weather conditions made headlines around the nation. Figure 4 (below) indicates that much of the southern and western U.S. suffered from drought last year. Statewide, Florida experienced its driest year on record in 2000 with the Dixie states as a whole seeing the driest May through October on record. At the peak of the drought, in August, 36% of the nation was suffering from severe or extreme drought as shown in Figure 5. In the West, the dry weather resulted in one of the worst wildfire seasons in 50 years. The year was also on the warm side. The winter of 1999-2000 was the warmest on record in the U.S. The summer that followed was a scorcher with many areas from Texas across the Gulf states seeing peak summer temperatures much higher than recent years. In contrast, much of the Northeast saw much cooler and wetter conditions than normal during the summer. July 2000 was the coolest on record in the Northeast with some cities never reaching the 90-degree mark that month.
After the mildest U.S. winter on record the previous season, winter 2000-2001 could not have started on a more frigid note. In fact, when taken together, November and December 2000 were the coldest two such months on record in the U.S. as can be seen in Figure 6. Notoriously snowy Buffalo, NY, recorded the snowiest October through December period on record with a record 45 inches falling in November alone. Nearby Syracuse, NY, was even snowier with a new December snowfall record established at 70.3 inches. Both cities exceeded 100 inches of snowfall for the season during the first week of January, a record for both locations. Other parts of the country also dealt with abnormally snowy conditions. At Midway Airport in Chicago, a new 24-hour snowfall record was set on December 11 when 14.5 inches fell, breaking a 31 year old record. Monthly snowfall records were also set in Marquette, MI, Milwaukee, WI, Waterloo, IA, and Amarillo, TX.

Two brothers who are priests share their love for
the Church as they minister to their West Virginia parishioners.
By Thomas R. Papeika
Men Are Always Free
Calls to Priesthood
Guides Through the Lord's Vineyard
Make Church 'a Good Place to Be'
A PHRASE of exasperation? A term of endearment? Maybe some
of both? Anyone who has grown up surrounded by brothers or
sisters knows no one phrase can sum up the unique relationship
between siblings. Imagine two brothers as different from each
other as the Bolshoi Ballet is from Appalachian clogging.
One would rather go to the theater while the other attends
a Redskins football game. One enjoys poetry while the other
enjoys hunting. They can't even agree on which is a better
car--a sedan or a sport utility vehicle.
What do Brian
and Rick Shoda have in common? Both are Catholic priests in
the mostly rural Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston, West Virginia.
The brothers Father Shoda, as the clerical pair is known throughout
the state, share more than a vocation: Their robust approach
to the faith is partially responsible for a surprising trend
toward Church growth in the Mountain State. Father Brian Shoda's
parish, for example, has more than tripled in size since he
became pastor six years ago.
Although the
brothers Father Shoda aren't always personally in step with
each other, a deep loyalty to the faith combines with their
unique, dynamic personalities to call people to the Church
and keep them there. They lead their flocks closer to God
with compassion, humor and, more often than not, some good
old-fashioned fun.
Their "Prayer
and Pasta" tours of the Vatican and Rome have shepherded many
a soul closer to God--and the buffet table. Their bus trips
to the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., combine
a seriousness of purpose with a sense of fun that allows prayerful
pilgrims to rejoice in the Spirit every step of the way. Just
because they work together for the good of the Church, however,
doesn't mean they act like identical twins.
Men Are Always Free
Robert and
Ruth Shoda raised their four boys--Bobby, Randy, Rick and
Brian--in the midst of the Pocahontas coalfields of southernmost
West Virginia, in the town of Bluefield. Like many mining
towns, Bluefield had the reputation for being a tight-knit,
hospitable community. Even today the Chamber of Commerce serves
free lemonade on summer days that top 90 degrees in the breezy
town nicknamed "nature's air-conditioned city."
But the Shodas
were always viewed as a bit "different" in their hometown.
Their home life, moving to the rhythm of mine work and farming,
was seamlessly interwoven with the liturgical seasons celebrated
at Sacred Heart Parish. "They used to call us fish-eaters,"
recalls Father Brian, "because we Catholics had to eat fish
every Friday. None of our Protestant friends understood that.
They thought that the little sacrifices we make for the faith
were something major. We always thought it was the least we
could do." Father Rick says that the Shodas found freedom
in following the precepts of the Church. They led a simple,
moral life which kept them happy and contented in their mountain
The state motto
of West Virginia is "Montani Semper Liberi" ("Mountain
Men Are Always Free"), and the Shodas exemplify that freedom
and diversity. Growing up, they were by no means a family
of choirboys. "Brian beat me up enough as a kid," recalls
Father Rick. "He once gave me two black eyes with a checkerboard
as I recall." Father Brian has always been more physical,
much more of an outdoorsman. Father Brian loves to hunt, fish,
camp out and follow all the sports; Father Rick couldn't care
"My idea of
hunting is going to Kroger's [supermarket] and finding fresh
scallops," says Father Rick. "And as far as the outdoors go,
I thought there was a rattlesnake or a black widow spider
under every rock. I would always rather go read a book than
go fishing. My idea of camping out now is going to the Sheraton."
Father Brian
continues to hunt and fish. He has been known to hop in the
truck with several parishioners and camp out all across the
United States for weeks at a time. He hosts Super Bowl parties
at his parish's social hall and even cuts the eight or so
acres of grass on the church grounds. "I always find some
kid to do the weed-whacking, though," quips Father Brian.
"I may like the outdoors, but I'm not crazy."
Calls to Priesthood
The brothers'
innate differences are apparent as well in the paths they
followed to the priesthood. Father Rick seemed to know that
he would take the royal road to the priesthood ever since
childhood. "I was going to be the pope and work my way down,"
jokes Father Rick. He loved playing priest as a kid, making
offerings to God at his homemade shrine while wearing the
vestments his mother had sewn for him. "I always liked it
when we had company because I could take up a collection,"
he says. He saved the proceeds from his childhood collection
basket, reserving them for some special occasion in the future.
Father Rick's
path led him to Rome, where he diligently studied for the
priesthood at the Gregorian Seminary. "I loved being in Rome,
with all the history, the art--it was so exciting." A high
point of his seminary time came when Pope Paul VI gave him
Communion at a solemn Mass in St. Peter's. A framed photograph
of the event hangs on the wall of his rectory, a constant
reminder of his days at the Vatican.
Father Rick
was ordained in his home cathedral in Wheeling, West Virginia,
by Bishop Joseph Hodges on October 13, 1978. It was the fulfillment
of a lifelong dream when the choir chanted "You Are a Priest
Forever" to a beaming Father Richard Shoda.
Father Brian's
road to the priesthood was a bit more atypical. "Whenever
anybody asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always
told them, 'A crooked politician,'" says a laughing Father
Brian. At the time of Father Rick's ordination, Brian never
had any intention of becoming a priest. In fact, although
Brian attended the ordination of his brother, he skipped Father
Rick's first Mass to play in a rugby game. "I thought that
certain things were more important to my life than the Church
at the time."
Father Brian
fell away from the Church for a while. "I was pretty heavily
involved with drugs and alcohol through college. I'd wake
up in the morning, drink some beer, take some dope and goof
off for the rest of the day outside, play Frisbee or something.
Me and my buddies would be so wasted by the end of the day
that we would pass out on somebody's lawn for the night, wake
up the next morning and start the whole thing over.
"I remember
one time in particular when I was doing LSD [a powerful hallucinogenic
drug]. I could feel myself slipping away from reality, this
time forever. I felt like I was standing on the edge of an
unimaginably deep and black abyss. I was fascinated by what
was down there, and I kept looking, looking, trying to lean
over into that chasm. And in the back of my mind, the one
part that was still rooted in reality, I knew that if I fell
into that hole, it would be all over.
"Still, I wanted
to go into that abyss, and part of me didn't care if I ever
came back. But then I felt a hand on my shoulder holding me
back. That presence got me to focus on an alarm clock in the
room. Concentrating on that ticking clock was my peg to reality--it
rooted me here and kept me from slipping away forever."
Brian didn't
succumb to the siren song of substance abuse. He cleaned up
his life, but still found himself searching. He worked a variety
of jobs--siding houses, installing dropped ceilings, landscaping,
driving an ice-cream truck. He even considered starting a
ranch in Colorado. But something was still missing. Brian
knew that he had to turn back to the Lord to find the answers.
He knew that he was running away from making the right--though
difficult--decisions in life.
Brian decided
to answer the calling that he'd been trying to ignore for
years. "All right, Lord," he prayed, "I'm sick of fighting
with you. I'll give it a try. But we've got to work together
on this; I can't do it alone."
The first person
Brian told about wanting to become a priest was his brother,
Father Rick. "I was really surprised," recalls Father Rick.
"At that point in Brian's life, the family didn't even know
if he was Catholic anymore, much less wanting to become a
Father Rick's
response to Brian was to quote St. Augustine: "Our hearts
are restless until they rest in you, O Lord." Father Rick
took some money that he had saved--perhaps the money that
he had collected when playing priest as a child--and sent
his brother Brian on an eight-day retreat. Brian, he felt,
needed to spend some serious time in prayer to see if the
priesthood was what the Lord was asking of him.
When Brian
went before the bishop asking to become a priest for the diocese,
he gave the bishop the details of his unsettled life. It took
hours. When Brian was done, the bishop looked up from his
desk and said, "Well, Brian, only God can make a silk purse
out of a sow's ear, so I guess I'll give you a shot."
The bishop's
gamble paid off. On June 6, 1987, Brian Shoda's restless heart
found contentment when he was ordained a priest.
Guides Through the Lord's Vineyard
Even though
the Fathers Shoda don't share the same perspective on everything,
they are committed to serving the Church. Sixty-five percent
of the people in West Virginia do not regularly attend any
formal church, according to Bishop Bernard Schmitt of Wheeling-Charleston.
One way the
brothers bring people to church and maintain their presence
is by introducing them to fun at church. "All the benefits
from being in church don't need to be spiritual," says Father
Rick. "There is definitely a social side. People should be
able to do things together. We try to have a lively faith,
but one that is consistent with what the Church asks us to
For Father
Brian and Father Rick, part of introducing people to the depth
and richness of the faith involves taking them on tours. Their
"Prayer and Pasta" tours of Italy and the "Prayer, Pubs and
Potatoes" tour of Ireland proved popular with pilgrims. Mass
would be celebrated every day at a different site while abroad,
allowing people to experience the enormous diversity of the
Catholic heritage, as well as the essential unity of faith
throughout the world.
Mel Walter,
a regular on such outings, says, "I always come back with
my faith enriched. They are the best guys to travel with."
The participants nourish their souls by visiting churches,
shrines and other holy places. They nourish their minds by
visiting art galleries and attending the theater. And they
nourish their bodies by finding some of the best restaurants
in the world. "They always seem to find great places to eat.
It's like an instinct," says Martin Tormoehlen, one of the
many young people who take an active role in both priests'
Make Church 'a Good Place to Be'
A constant
hum of activity surrounds the Shoda parishes. People seem
very willing to give of their time, treasure and talent in
unprecedented ways.
"Church is
a good place to be," says Ellen Mangino. "It's not like a
lot of parishes where you just show up for Mass and that's
it. There's such a family-friendly atmosphere that you'd rather
come and spend time at church than go somewhere else."
It would be
wrong to say that the brothers Father Shoda peddle nothing
but fun and games since the fun-loving priests also maintain
a serious side that attracts people to the Church. They preach
the gospel message with a vigor and constancy that many believe
is lacking in the world today. Prayer is a constant aspect
of their lives. They are always seeking out new ways to discover
God, learn more and challenge the secular world with a message
that is undeniably Christian.
The Shodas
continue to shepherd their flocks through many changes while
keeping them rooted in the faith. Father Rick recently guided
the community of Blessed Trinity Parish in Wheeling through
the difficult time of the church's closing. And when serving
as judicial vicar for the diocese, Father Rick also guided
people through the annulment process with a sensitivity that
comforted these often alienated individuals. Currently Father
Rick, resident pastor of St. Catherine of Siena Parish in
Ronceverte, West Virginia, is pastor of missions in Lewisburg
and Union as well.
Father Brian
is guiding his parish to a new home. The St. Leo parish family
quickly outgrew its small facility in Inwood, West Virginia,
and a planned addition to the worship space was outgrown before
construction ever began. Now the parish is faced with the
challenge of building an entirely new facility on a much larger
piece of land. Both the brothers Father Shoda, then, are seeing
Catholics in West Virginia through a series of new beginnings
that are a hallmark of a living and vital Church.
It is almost
certain that Father Brian and Father Rick will continue to
differ in their perspectives on sports, music, books and a
whole host of other things. But it is just as certain they
will continue to work together for the common good of the
Church. And to all who inhabit the peaks and valleys of the
Mountain State, the term "brother priest" will never be the

Spring is the perfect time to gather some of your favorite things and head out to the park. Before you go, make sure your pooch is ready to accompany you on the adventure. Spring dog clothes have such variety and style, from a Bling Bling Sparkle Tee to a Watermelon Hand-Smocked Sun Dress or a Betty Boop Marilyn Style Denim Dress, the fashions are waiting. Pick out your favorite fashion and dress up your darling.
Meanwhile, don't forget the dog toys! Your pooch will have such fun chasing a tennis ball (and maybe even bringing it back to you!), tugging a Pastel Rope
Bone Toy or racing you to be the first to get a Forget-Me-Knot Rope Toy. It's such a memorable time together and will give you both great exercise.
When it's time to settle down for some chow, your dog, after the play time, will be ready for some relaxation. Both of you can enjoy a hearty lunch and maybe even a sun-drenched nap!
Wherever you go, or whatever you decide to do, be sure you take time to "Seize the Moment" and what fun to seize it with your favorite pet!

What is giving you the large size of daily is the mailboxes. BE does not do
an incremental or differential on the mailboxes, so you are backing up
basically the whole IS every night. (IS + changed files)
I would say it is bad idea not to backup the IS and DS nightly. If you turn
off circular logging you can do a Incremental backup nightly and Full back
up weekly of IS/DS. So on nightly backups you get IS/DS logs and mailboxes
and weekly Full ID/DS databases. This would greatly reduce backup time and
media usage.
You can separately set backup types for file system and Exchange per job.

Before Santa Claus and Saint Nicholas, there was La Befana. The name means "giver of gifts" and is based on legendary tales of an old woman who gave sweet breads and treats to children. La Befana visits children during the Festival of the Three Kings. This is known as the twelve days of Christmas and extends from December 25 to January 6. January 6th is the Epiphany. In the country of Italy, the children leave their shoes outside their door. If they were good, La Befana will leave cakes in their shoes. In the country of Mexico, La Befana hides one last present. The children must search for their gifts. In the country of America, La Befana is unknown. There are many versions of the story of La Befana. In these stories, she follows the three kings who follow the star over Bethlehem. The story ends with her search for the three kings. But there is one additional story. It is a story of how La Befana prevented Roman soldiers from following King Herod's command to murder male children under the age of two. It is a story of bravery and trickery; it is a story of faith and compassion. La Befana used her talents of cleaning and cooking to allow families and their children to leave Bethlehem in safety..

Great flavor, i'm not sure i'd call this VERY peachy, but it's both a sweet and clean taste. Definitely some lemon in there. I only have to use about half the amount of tea leaves I usually do to still get a strong taste. One jar has lasted me months!! Was so surprised by this tea, wasn't expecting the great taste, and for it to last so long. I hope i'll see more Zhena's flavors added to the site soon. Thank you!!
I made this tea with my french press, and I absolutely loved it! It's amazing. I do add a 1/2 tsp more than it suggests for an 8oz. cup. It makes it very flavorful. I can definitely taste the peach. I'm excited to try out the other flavors
I'm new to the world of mass tea consumption, so maybe my opinion isn't worth all that much. But the tea isn't very flavorful. It has such a strong smell but the tea is pretty bland. I might try a stronger steeping time. I have tried other peach passions where you can actually taste the peach. But this tea isn't much different than just a glass of hot water.

Craft Room Space Saver Tip by Mary S.
Since I do not have a room or large space to set aside for crafts (mostly sewing of all kinds,) I purchased a hugh (6'X4'X2') cabinet. If my fabric and supplies do not fit in the cabinet I have to get rid of them. The only thing left out are the basics, sewing machine, table and chair.

I have a box that my material is sorted in, from sheer light weights to heavy brocade. As I am able to obtain most of my bulk material from yard sales, needless to say, I have more than one box, so I also label them accordingly and keep them downstairs by the sewing machine.

The Ferrari Shortage
Buying a Ferrari is one of the joys of being rich.
It's one of those "you-know-you've-made-it-when" rites of passage, along with the house in the Hamptons (or Aspen or Palm Beach) and the American Express black card.
But today there are so many newly minted multi-millionaires and billionaires around the world that there simply aren't enough Ferarris to go around. An article in today's Journal by Gabriel Kahn explains that the waiting list for a new Ferrari has grown from the standard 12 months to 24 months or more in Hong Kong, the U.S., Australia and England.
The reason: huge demand for Ferraris among the new rich in Russia, the Middle East and Asia.
Ferrari's chairman, Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, swore in 1990 that Ferrari would never make more than 5,000 cars per year. Now they're making 5,700 and still can't keep up with demand: "We started to consider 18 months [to wait] ideal, but now we can't even keep up with that."
To its credit, Ferrari isn't doubling its production to keep up with the demand (thus avoiding the mass-luxury trap that has beset Jaguar, Mercedes and others).
But the result is a new V-VIP economy, where mere millionaires are bumped down the Ferrari waiting list by Arab sheikhs and Russian oligarchs who have been longtime customers and are buying two or three cars at a time. (Ferrari denies that it fiddles with the list, but let's get real — the have-mores get better treatment than the haves in all luxury businesses.)
And Ferraris aren't the only luxury product with a waiting list. Try commissioning a new 250-foot yacht these days. You'll find yourself on a waiting list of at least a year, sometimes two. Want to buy one of Gulfstream's new top-of-the-line G550s? Prepare to wait at least a year.
The millionaire glut is even appearing in the investment world. There are so many rich investors trying to get into the top hedge funds and private-equity funds these days that many are getting turned down. Private banks say one of the biggest problems for their clients today is "access" — finding top managers who are willing to take money from their rich clients.
What to make of this new luxury logjam? For the wealthy, it's a constant headache. After all, they worked hard to make their fortunes and now they want the rewards. Spending $125 million for a boat and then being told to "get in line" has got to be humiliating for today's rich.
Yet the rich have to realize that the economic forces that are making them rich — liquidity, globalization, technology — are making lots of other people rich too. And as more and more people get rich, they can't all have the same luxury goods. Or if they can, they're no longer luxury goods.
So the wealthy need to adjust their sense of privilege. They should accept that they may be rich, but they're no longer that special. There are plenty of people just like them — and plenty more who are even richer. If today's wealthy really want a sports car that they can buy today and drive tomorrow, they might have to settle for a Porsche.

In October we reported on the "famous five" reasons to report self-corruption as articulated by David Green QC, the Serious Fraud Office Director. One of those reasons was the high prospect of getting caught. This week, in an interview with The Times newspaper, the Director suggested that he is increasing the chances of the SFO exposing wrongdoing by developing the SFO's intelligence gathering capabilities and strengthening links with intelligence agencies. He said:
"We are enhancing our intelligence capabilities in the fight against economic crime. This includes re-forging links with the national security agencies and building our own analytical capacity."
For companies who don't self-report and are exposed, the chances of avoiding a prosecution become very slim.

Five defendants – four women and one man – appeared in Redwood County Fifth District court earlier this month to face felony charges in connection with a theft from the Walmart Store in Redwood Falls.
Courtney Maria Green, 24, of Minneapolis, Kevin Leon Bishop, 29, of Minne-apolis, Tiara Lashon Ligon, 23, of Brooklyn Park, Las-onya Denise Miles, 25, of Minneapolis and Gretta Maria Maxwell, 42, of Minne-apolis were all charged in the incident which occurred Dec. 11.
According to the Red-wood County Attorney's Office, Miles, Maxwell and Ligon are accused of entering the Walmart store and loading up grocery carts with electronics and other items and then exiting the store without paying for the items.
The stolen items were then allegedly loaded in to a vehicle owned by Green with the help of Bishop.
The county attorney's office officially filed complaints Dec. 12.
Law enforcement later stopped the vehicle in Gibbon and located the stolen items from the Red-wood Falls store, as well as items reported as stolen from the Walmart in Mar-shall. The total value of all stolen items found the vehicle was approximately $9,000. According to Steven Collins, Redwood County attorney, Lyon County authorities are also investigating the incident and are considering charges.
The defendants are all being represented and are going to appear in court again in the next few weeks.
