Word has come down from the halls of Image Entertainment that Tim Sullivan's Driftwood, which we just gave you a lot of info on right here, will officially be hitting DVD on February 17th, 2007, a mere 12 days before my birthday. Thanks for the present, guys! Check out the above link for a helluva lot of information on the film, and keep your eyes here for its trailer, which should be hitting the online airwaves any minute now…
Also from Image, the DVD release of Jake West's Evil Aliens (review) has been moved up a week from January 16th to January 9th, 2007. Features will include an outtake/blooper reel, a featurette on the making of the film's gooey special effects, numerous extended or deleted scenes, and the trailer according to Fangoria.
As an aside, Image seems to be really coming into their own when it comes to pleasing us horror fans. They were once known for their better-than-average DVD releases of little-known films, but with titles like Driftwood and Evil Aliens, they're looking to be a company to keep your eyeballs on. A good place to start that would be their official site, by the way.

Are you hungry for change David? Over 50,000 demands for action on hunger to David Cameron on World Food Day
16 October 2013
CAFOD has marked World Food Day by delivering over 50,000 demands for action on hunger to Number 10 Downing Street.
As part of our Hungry for change campaign, we've been asking Prime Minister David Cameron to champion targeted aid to small-scale farmers and checks on the power of global food companies. In the last year, over 50,000 of you have signed one of our action cards to show your support for changes in government policy that will help stop one in eight going hungry.
A group of CAFOD supporters including two pupils and teacher Richard Price from Sacred Heart Secondary School in Southwark, Sister Alphonsus OP and Sister Karen Marguerite OP handed in the cards to Number 10.
It is fantastic to deliver these actions and say 'look how many have stood alongside me'."
Richard Price
CAFOD supporter Richard Price said: "I am so happy to be here today as one of the thousands who have stood up and said 'no' to world hunger throughout IF and CAFOD's Hungry for change campaign. It is fantastic to deliver these actions and say 'look how many have stood alongside me'. This is an amazing achievement for supporters in getting David Cameron to listen."
Your support in getting behind this campaign has been crucial to its success. You can read about some of the achievements we've already seen. But we still need progress in a number of areas.
Demanding transparency
During the hand-in at Downing Street, the group also delivered a letter from CAFOD director Chris Bain addressed to David Cameron. The letter expressed the sincere hope that the government will listen to the thousands of citizens who signed our action cards calling for reasonable checks and balances on multinational companies, given the central role that they play within our global food system.
In the letter, we also asked for EU reporting requirements that mean large companies must report on the risks and impacts of their activities on the environment and human rights. We are also calling for a detailed register of lobbyists in open data format, which includes corporate in-house lobbying teams.
The lobbying bill currently moving through Parliament is a serious concern for CAFOD. The bill had the potential to meet our asks and offer real transparency around the lobbying activities of powerful global food companies. However, in reality - if passed into law in its current form – the bill will have very little impact as it only covers a small portion of lobbying activity.
Dom Goggins, CAFOD's government and parliamentary relations coordinator, said: "There is nothing more powerful than when we speak to the government with one voice. Signing an action card may seem like a small act, but it is part of a bigger picture. Now, thousands of us have spoken out against world hunger and in particular have asked for transparent lobbying to deliver greater confidence in government decision-making. The current lobbying bill doesn't deliver that, but if the government stops, rethinks and listens to the concerns being raised, we could have a bill that not only offers real transparency, but answers the call of over 50,000 citizens."
What next?
The Hungry for change campaign will now continue until Lent 2014. We still need empowering aid for small scale farmers and the UK government has not yet committed to providing greater support. If you haven't already, please add your name to the Hungry for change campaign and help us keep up the pressure.
And the situation is only getting worse for small-scale farmers and those others living in the world's poorest communities. Our new report -What have we done? - highlights the devastating impact of climate change on the livelihoods of the most vulnerable communities and suggests actions for governments, and changes we can make in our own lives to become better stewards of Creation.

Why Are There So Many Drug Rehabs and Treatment Centers in Florida?
Question by adilene d: Why are there so many drug rehabs and treatment centers in Florida?
I've heard that these are even the best in the country. I was just wondering why, and why in Florida, of all the states.
Best answer:
Answer by destinee d
Florida is permeated with a lot of drug rehabs and drug treatment centers due to the fact that lots of types of drugs are present in that state. The common types of drugs that perpetuate Florida are: ecstasy, cocaine, heroin, and club drugs, among others. Because Florida possesses these drugs in alarming numbers, the government made it a point to build drug treatment centers that aim to be of help to the individuals who happen to be addicted. That way, these people can get their life back and steer themselves away from further drug usage.

Report: Ballmer Tells Employees Windows 8 Sales Need Improvement
Jason Mick
July 25, 2013 12:37 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: AP)
But Ballmer says improvements, including a new Surface and a new Metro Start Button, will win customers back
At a quarterly all-hands type
, Microsoft Corp.'s (
) boisterous and ebullient CEO Steve Ballmer was more sedate than usual. While he raved about the
upcoming next generation Surface tablet
-- which was garnering rave reviews internally -- he also reportedly owned up to an unpleasant fact that Windows 8 isn't selling well.
The news -- which was pretty much a known fact to analysts and tech enthusiasts already -- came shortly after Microsoft's major leadership shakeup, in which it
put the people in charge of Windows 8
(Julie Larson-Green, Tami Reller)
in charge of key leadership positions
over the entire company.
Revenue for the Windows unit
dropped 55 percent
(-$1.3B USD) in the second calendar quarter of the year (Microsoft's fiscal Q4 2013). After beating street expectations the previous quarter, Microsoft saw its efforts unravel badly with
sales of both Windows
and the
embattled first generation Surface
sinking to Vista-like levels of market apathy.
Windows 8 is turning into a nightmare for CEO Steve Ballmer. [Image Source: AP]
Microsoft and Mr. Ballmer came under fire from some of their major partners. Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) blamed Microsoft for drooping PC (and by proxy semiconductor component) sales. Jun Dong-soo, head of the memory chip unit who sells DRAM and NAND to PC makers,
called Windows 8 "less competitive"
and complained, "[It is] no better than the previous Windows Vista platform."
Those are pretty harsh words coming from a major partner.
At the meeting Mr. Ballmer tried to convince employees that the free
Windows 8.1
update would make up for the flop of its predecessor. He pointed to
the return of a "Start Button"
it's not
Start Button you used to know) and the use of telemetry data to improve weak spots in Windows 8 as critical keys to the turnaround. He also discussed increasing spending on professional services (consulting), although the leaks from the meeting made it unclear whether Microsoft is looking to recruit outside consultation for itself or make money off providing it to others.
Ballmer thinks a new Metro Start Button will thrill Windows fans back to the ranks.
In the second calendar quarter Google Inc. (
ChromeBooks gained major ground on Windows PCs
, establishing a beachhead of approximately 4-5 percent of total personal computer sales, and a quarter of <$300 USD personal computer sales. Some OEMs such as Samsung and Acer, Inc. (
) (another prominent critics of Windows 8) have
turned to Chromebook offerings
, and may be eyeing dumping Microsoft entirely, shoudl consumers continue embracing Google's offerings and rejecting Microsoft's.
Microsoft can take some solace in that Apple, Inc. (
) saw
sales of its Mac computers miss expectations
, leaving Google the only clear winner in the PC market for the quarter.
"Spreading the rumors, it's very easy because the people who write about Apple want that story, and you can claim its credible because you spoke to someone at Apple." -- Investment guru Jim Cramer

6 gallon rimless nano cave tank update July 5th 2006
I have been wanting to do this for a while. This is a rimless 6 gallon tank. Substrate is ADA amazonia regular and ADA Bright sand. I also use Ohko stones. Lighting is a 28 watt coralife aqualight 10,000k bulb. Cave is made out of steel mesh encased with waterfall foam. I am planning on putting some Apistogramma Borelli's into this tank. The dimensions of the tank is 18x8x10.
Picture inside the cave
Final after running a diatom filter for about 20 minutes
Oh my goodness...
A cave? SWEET! What a great idea, especially as a hideout for smaller critters, fry, etc...
Are the sort of jagged rocks to the left of the cave mouth the Ohko stones? Did you purchase the steel mesh encased with waterfall foam, or make it yourself?
nice rock you got there. What kind is it?
Yeah those are the ohko stones. I got them at Aqua forest. I made the cave myself. I had to make it to fit the tank perfectly in order for it to work. The cave is not glued in place. The HOB filter goes into the cave to add circulation. There is also a mini pump in the cave to stir up detritus when needed.
That's very, very cool. Can't wait to see it as it grows in and gets its inhabitants.
Tank looks great planted. Well done how you hid the handifoam under the substrate. I like the Downoi growing on it there. Whish I had some.
Are you planning on adding any additional hardscape to this tank?
Matthew, I sent you a pm on SFBAAPs earlier today. I probably won't be adding any additional hardscape. What you do think?
I just saw that on sfbaaps, hahaha, again nice work my name on there is Tommy
Since the filter is sucking water from the cave are you worried that it will suck the fry up?
I will move the filter if the borelli's I am going to put in there ever breed.
Looks good as is. If you want to experiment too your welcome. Some of the branchy manzanita upside like roots in the water could look cool on the right.
I'll think about it Matthew. Thanks. I put some cherries in there right now. They seem to be doing fine. I'll wait a week before I put anything else in there.
I wonder if any of the fauna will use the cave for spawning... I mean, hey, it's got mood lighting!
that is the plan, the Apistogramma borelli are cave breeders.
that's probably one of the coolest nano's I've ever seen. great idea!

23 Catherine Street
Opera Tavern is by far my favourite restaurant in London. It's food lies in between great cuisine and indulgent sharing food. From it's marvellous mini burger, of ibérico pork and fois gras, to the incredible ibérico pressa. Yes, there is a theme in what they do well here, and it is the pork from the black footed acorn fed pigs. While, the other dishes are good these are definitely their USP.
OT is found in the heart of theatre land near covent garden, over the road from Shrek at the Drury Lane theatre, and close by the Royal Opera House, hence it's namesake. I've been here a few times, mainly sitting in the upstairs dining room. This time for lunch it was warm outside, we had the option of going al fresco, a rare thing as they only have a few seats outside
|What's on the menu today
Tapas is great as get a chance to pick a few of your 'own' options and then share your other diners choices. This can be a bit of a gamble if they pick something that isn't as easily shared or you don't really like, but it tends to work and leads to a lot more interactive lunch/dinner. For my choices it's a no brainer, the pressa is by far their best dish. The mini burger of ibérico pork and fois gras has also gained a great reputation, being touted in the top list of burgers for burgerac and youngandfoodish, which is saying something considering it's not actually beef. Today was a bit more special as their chef Ben Mulock, had tweeted that they were doing 'for today only' chilli pulled pork on top of the usual burger. No sooner had I replied back to say I was waiting for this than Ben actually came out to say 'hello' and went through a few other things on the menu. It's a nice touch when people can be this open and excited about the food they are creating, it really makes a difference.
Being lunchtime, we didn't order too much and went for 3 dishes each.
Being lunchtime, we didn't order too much and went for 3 dishes each.
|Special of the day - Ibérico chilli pulled pork on top of ibérico and fois gras burger
|Usual iberico pork and fois gras burger with red onions, and pickled chilli on side
The mini burger is their most popular choice. The last time I had this it was a little over chargrilled, so didn't get what the great fuss was about. This time was near perfect. I'm not sure how much fois gras is in the patty, but allows for a great meat to fat ratio, that really adds to the richness and flavour. The pulled pork was great, but slightly too overpowering for the rest of the burger, was nice to deconstruct the burger and appeciate each bit on it's own as well as together. These burgers are mini but well worth their price tag (£6.50). Where else could you get anything like this in London for under a tenor ;). This is tapas though, do you really expect anything to be of considerable size?!
|Octopus with chickpea fritter
|Had to go for the side on shot aswell, fabulous presentation
Confession time: I've never had octopus...before this. I've always been intrigued but never really gone for it before, I like squid was knew I wasn't going to be completely repulsed by this. The suckers really conjure images in your head though! When this was put down on our table, it is a 'wow' dish. The octopus is beautifully cooked, with a chargrilled finish, and went very well with the red peppers. The chickpea fritter was nice, but became almost soggy with the mojo verde. This definitely converted me to be an octopus fan. I'd like to cook this myself
|Courgette flowers stuffed with goats cheese drizzled in honey
The courgette flowers are another great dish at OT, but was left a bit disappointed with it this time. However, the batter was too thick. Previous times I've been the batter is so delicately thin the colour of the courgette flower is still clearly visible. However, this just looked like a corn dog, and instead of added a crisp finish, it was more chewy and overpowered the flavours underneath, especially as the thick batter just absorbed so much of the honey, 'meh'!
|Chargrilled lamb cutlet with smoked garlic puree with tomato, courgette and cumin
The lamb cutlet was probably a bit of a mistake to order for sharing, their isn't much of the meat to go round 2 people, although Shahz did really like the courgette, tomato and cumin side. The lamb was good, but nothing more. That said the veg was very good, probably enough to be a side dish of it's own.
|Ibérico pressa with shallots, capers and lemon
Finally the dish of the day, Ibérico pressa, a cut inbetween the shoulder and the loin with shallots, capers and lemon. It's this combination of flavours and textures that make your eyes roll back into your head, as you chew slowly and try to make that feeling last as long as possible. 'That's outstanding' was all Shahz had to say on the matter which just about sums it up. The acidity of the capers cuts through the pork really well. I could easily come here and order 2 of these (and maybe a burger for good measure). If you come here remember that with tapas the bill mounts up very easily, but you do get what you pay for. Normally £25-30 a head, depending on if you chose to plunge into their extensive spanish and italian wine menu.
I didn't have them this time, but I highly recommend the padron peppers, a great appetizer. No doubt I will be back again, try parts of the menu I've not had before. As you can see we are very meat orientated, just with tapas it's seems a wasted choice to get vegetables! OT also have a great charcuterie selection, of course with more ibérico, the cheese choices are extensive as well.

drywall over P&L ?
i have an old house. it has P&L pretty much everywhere. i am going to take down the P&L on the walls, to add insulation. but i do not need to do this for the ceiling. i understand that putting drywall right over the P&L is ok. is this correct ? if so, should i use anything before i put the drywall up ?
any other issues ?
btw, i have 9" ceilings.
yes you can do that , but take an awl and hammer and try finding the joists . most likely 16 on center but not always the case . run the sheets perpendicular to the joists as usual but try to hit the joists with the fasteners and not just the lath thats about it .
you can also drill holes in the walls and use blow in insulation if you wish.
thanx. yeah i plan to nail to the rafters. but i am wondering if i should use some kind of vapor barrier.
i am not going to blow in the walls. that is coming down. i actually started 1 room today. 1 reason for the p&l to come down is updated electrical and new framing for the new, different sized windows i am getting.
It would be far better to also remove the plaster on the ceiling.
If for some strange reason you deside to leave it do not even think about using nails, use 3' sheetrock screws instead.
removing it is not going to happen. i would rather leave it as is, than remove it.
screws, yeah. idk why i said nail.
Do they recommend a vapor barrier where you live? I have heard of using spray foam as a vapor barrier in an attic where none exists (probably like your P&L), but I'm not sure how that would play out with an added drywall layer.
And given what a PITA it would be to clear out all your insulation to spray foam, plus you likely need insulation on top of the foam, you might as well remove the P&L ceiling. How much more mess could it be when you are knocking down the walls?
a TON !!! we are living here. and with a job(for now) i can do only so much at a time. i can't shut down half the house for weeks to do that. i just did a small area of a wall in an unused room, and the wife was complaining, i left it a bit messy. she didn't like that. i had to nicely tell her to stfu or do it herself.
thanx for the reply :)
You can go over the old p&l I would not take it own if you don't have to. Couple questions.
How is the electrical run. If any in the ceiling. Don't use too long of a screw or you may hit a water pipe or wire.
What is directly above that room? If old bath room with cast iron tub you may want to tear ceiling out and beef up joists from the weight.
Other than that I wouldn't take out the ceiling because it can open up Pandora's box. That old rough cut lumber is exactly what the name says rough cut and not plum. The old plaster can be 1/4" thick in some areas and 3/4" in others because of the framing. Good luck
when i was a teen, i decided to help my dad paint the house. i was doing it right, and kinda quick. he told me i was doing it all wrong(i was doing it the way he was. i was watching him). i set the paint brush down and walked away. i never helped again.
:laughing: some typos there, A
1 Attachment(s)
here is where i am at in the "learning" room. this is about 2hrs work. this is going to be our temp bedroom, while i do thee bedroom. otherwise its just a storage room. a new window is going in, once i decide what to get.
oh. the P&L on the interior walls. i am just going to drywall over em. call me lazy, but screw that tearing out all that chit.
and there was no insulation in that wall.
Just remember you will have to get extenders for your electrical boxes and existing wiring will need to be long enough to reach into them. You cannot splice length on and meet code.
You did say you are pulling new wiring though?

what song?
mike i like this song!! WOOW !!
Real gangsta rap… lol
Fantastic contrast Mike I really like this version.
– I hadn't heard Green Lantern till now, thank you. 🙂
People hi! Where can I get the lyrics ? Please give the link or better post it here. Love ya ❤
mike, your flow on this track is impeccable, but since when do you add an "s" to you? were you imitating "they" (whoever they are) somewhere within the context of "they say welcome back mike"… or were u just switching it up? I don't want to come off as negative i have to be your biggest fan, not even, i consider you a friend though i don't know you, but this track doesn't feel like you. you sound too sedated and as if you're trying to add a swag to your voice that's not what u usually sound like. I'm not trying to blast you on your site, but your usual energetic delivery is what makes your voice, flow and overall style stand out among most other rappers. Please dont lose your mike voice :]
Wow. I just stumbled upon that yesterday. XD
Butttt, on a side note: WHO IS SINGING IN THE BACKGROUND?? Seriously.
I love Ryu's verse, it's pretty sick.
Mike got kind of loud out of nowhere when he said "I don't give a fat f*** if you're with me or not." I believe it was? It surprised me and caused me to spill a bit of my coffee on myself. WAY TO GO MICHAEL.
Anyway, good track, looking forward to the ACTUAL release. [along with the release of SOB's album, at last.]
Edit: Void that. I'm obviously completely dim right now. Hello! Portishead? Yeah that would explain the singing in the background.
it's amazing!like all the music you make:)it's really great!
thanks 4 making soooo good music.. 🙂
i got it from one of ur fans' sites 😉
that's cool ! more new fm stuff coming?? or just this?
oh, i didn't expected that you make something with portishead! 🙂 Bu i have to say, it sound really good. It was good idea to make it
it's pharcyde – drop
the video is filmed backwards but really good!
i love that song =) i couldn't go to bed yesterday because i listened to it over and over again. i love your voice, the beat, the chorus, everything! thanks for making simply good music, man ^^
and thanks for making all of us go crazy … 'do it again!' i had fun 😛
this thing is so MIKE SHINIODA!!!!!!!!!!
you know what that means?
it means its got awesome beats and as usual… i LOVE your verse!
but why on Earth do you sound so deep ? Ganster voice? 😀
We Major is great,I like that very much.
But I still don't understand that why There They Go,100 Degree and Dolla are not included in The Rising Tied.
I really want to purchase We Major,but unfortunately,I found it was out of stock.
New mix of you and Styles Of Beyond??I have to look for it right now!
it's not you who posted it? i was sure Fort Minor lover is you ;D and i love the track, hope to hear more soon 🙂 take care 🙂
I don't even have the equipment to mixmy shit right..right now so I should'nt even be talking.. ugh…..
I seriously don't wanna come off like any kinda way. I only mean well.
Don't know if anyone noticed or details involving the recording.
But when you say "I could give a fat fuck if your with me or not" …
I can't tell exactly if he was riding the volume when you said it or he moved it?
The only reason I thought moved was becuase the way your first word sounds. But even if he was dropping it out and wanted to make it apparent. The volume of that verse is louder then anything else on the song.
Also, "sold my soul" , "Yea", "Ryu" Maybe the 3rd adlib track is real low.
good one 😀
"i didn't put it up, but looks like you guys found it" lol you know it! That was really good, i like it! mint lovin it thank you! keep doin what you do man we seriously appreciate it,thanks again.Have a wonderfull day,PEEEEACE.
"I could give a fat fuck if you're with me or not…" I am such a nerd – that was very possibly my favortie part of the song. =)
Oh, and SHADOWERLILTANI… (hehehe) It's exremely hard to find indeed, but it has been done… Just remember that persistence can pay. =D
Hello MS! I love when you play with us like this. 😉
You did a game and we play. I've already said that I love you?
We always like do like you work, of the better way.
No much words for today, just that now I understand your post before. I like your new track with the guys of SOB.
Thanks for put me big a smile and admiration.
Keep on bringing more tracks Mike! Hope to see something new again
btw, take care and good night. 😉
love ya ~ ♥
we just do such a good work, 'cause we have an inspiration to do it called mike shinoda.. 🙂
Come on – give us a real challenge. lol. Love the track Mike. Thanks for the heads up. Looking forward to more!!
oh mike! thats awesome!!!! ur the best!!!!!
come to russia=))))
Mike, like, seriously, give me a scavenger hunt that'll take me more than two minutes to find it. Like, a picture of you without a shirt, for example. THAT would be one hell of a scavenger hunt. It'll never happen but it's nice to dream about… (Wonders if he knows she's kidding around) But anyways, your vocals on this song are great, a step-up from The Rising Tied.
awesome song Mike 🙂
your verse is fantastic!
i like the track mike. its real awesome. the beats are sick! keep it up and god bless.
a bit better quality IMO, than the youtube one, I did it..
Right click and save.
If you want a professional one done, then don't download it, it's that simple. 😉
btw, Mike, lol, you made us go crazy, I'm not even joking, lol.
Check the LPUMB to see how crazy, lmao. 😛
it's pretty different of what i'd expect from u.. but, it's amazing. :)))
it's really great hear u, tak and ryu sharing the vocals again.. 😀
great work and congrats, anyways. 😉
see u; take care..
love ya ~ ♥
MS:HAHA! Thats whats up. shits hot!
Yea, don't. I'mma climb up..liked to make something real nice…
comments: nahnah.. depeche mode remix is fucking ill, no comparisons, thats like comparing love with love.
Random comments about the beat: 1:48…ears don't deceive ;D
Good stuff. The way you rapped your verse reminded me of T.I., but was still your own style. The writing on windows sound effect before Tak's verse was a cool touch too. And I'll probably listen to it about a thousand more times he he.
Doesn't sound like something you would normally do, which is why it is so cool. I don't know if analoggirl is right about it trumping "Enjoy the Silence" but its great.
Saw this on the LP message board, but I'll comment here. =] At first I didn't like it, but then when the bass hit I was like, "Whoa, I like." And even though other people seem to hate it, I love the chorus. I wonder if it was ripped from someone else's song cuz it sounds familiar. Anywayz, I also like Tak's verse. Sick and smooth dude.
Oh wait, I know where this is from now. Duh. It's been said. At first, I didn't know wtf Portishead was or who it was rather until I heard Glory Box and was like oh yeah them. I like them.
shocked, but… that was really good 🙂 lmao!!! xxx
Gotta say, I was a little surprised. The beat is sick, as usual. I assume you're responsible for that. But, man, the way you delivered the verse was so different from your usual approach. It's so low and slow I thought the track had been slowed down or something. Anyway, it's hot.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! pretty cool!ª!!!!!! i can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
thnanks miiiike!!
with all my love and respect,
Great as always! Cool surprize! Thanx for What You've Doooooone! ))))
Comeón Mike! leak out a higher quality mp3 version 🙂 ,like on FM's myspace.
Sick track! I love Portishead and I'm so happy to hear you spit your lyrics over one of their songs. Truth be told, it trumps your remix of Depeche Mode's "Enjoy The Silence". (Just don't tell Dave Gahan that.)
Will you and the boys join Portishead on stage at Coachella?
Not that I'm lazy and won't search for it, but I have no laptop right now.
However, that has got to me one of the meanest things I think you've ever done 😛 (Save for the LPU chat when you came in and then just left…T_T). You tease. Telling us to search for it ourselves. What do you think this is, the INTERNET or something? UGH. Gah. 🙂
That was a way sick song Mike. I love it.
hey Mike this is QUITE badass bro. amazing verse.
I hope to GOD you revive Fort Minor in 2009 when Chester does his DBS album. or at least maybe tour with SOB and split up the sets half SOB half FM? hmm. this is so genius….what a fucking verse. too bad SOB isn't on PR again…..

Dec. 22, 2004 - The frustration began to mount late in the second quarter for Whitney Standifer of Green Fields Country Day School's girls basketball team as shot after shot found more iron than net.
With every miss it wore on the senior forward's face and posture, continuing through the first two quarters and right on through the halftime warmups.
St. Gregory's College Preparatory had found a way to stop Green Fields' standout forward, routing the Griffins 43-27 Dec. 17 at St. Gregory.
Corey Belin paced the Hawks with 17 points and Kay Mgbolu added 14 of her own as St. Gregory won the rubber match between the two schools this year.
Junior guard Nora Gustufson led the Class 1A Griffins with 10 points. Both squads are now 7-5 on the season.
Even with its leading scorer held off the scoreboard, Green Fields found itself down just four points at the break. Standifer wasn't the only Griffin going through a drought against the Hawks. Green Fields was shut out in the second quarter and held to just four points in the fourth.
St. Gregory began to pull away from Green Fields in the third quarter. After trading six points apiece to open the half, including Standifer's only field goal, St. Gregory reeled off a 10-0 run to put the Hawks up 33-18. Highlighting the Hawks' run was MgBolu, who picked off three Griffin inbounds passes and converted them into six of her eight points during the stretch.
Despite losing by 17 points to the Hawks, Green Fields head coach Tom Danehy found some light on an otherwise dark performance.
"In the past, once she started shooting poor she would just disappear," said the third year coach of the senior's ability to still pull down more than 10 rebounds and be a factor on virtually every play for the Griffins on both ends of the court, despite finishing with four points.
For Green Fields, a rigorous finals week schedule may have taken its toll on Class 2A St. Gregory. Still, Danehy offered no excuses for his team's performance against the team they beat by two points in late November.
When asked what good could come out of a 17-point loss, Danehy's answer was curt.
"Yeah, finals are over."
The coach still expects his team to finish around 25 wins this season, feasting on weaker programs in a conference in which they expect to challenge for a state title come the postseason.
After a last minute game scheduled against Baboquivari on Dec. 20, Green Fields will take a week off before traveling to the Queen Creek Holiday tournament Dec. 27 through Dec. 30.

Published: December 11, 2013 at 4:31 AMI saw this at the weekend (its been out in the UK for two weeks) and I thought it was a really wonderful movie. Incredibly well acted.
Published: December 11, 2013 at 9:41 AMI agree that Emma Thompson deserves an Oscar for this film. She is superb.
I like Hanks's Walt too, though. But he's just a supporting role, in my opinion, the true star is Emma Thompson.
Published: December 11, 2013 at 11:42 AMI read articles about PL Travers that said her hostility to Walt Disney on Mary Poppins is her definite viewpoints about her characters and especially that of Mr. Banks, which is a portrayal of her father (perhaps this is why they selected the title of the movie). She is protective of such a personal project. Let's be frank, Disney makes a great movie, but not so faithful adaption.
I saw Frozen recently and Tangled, not so recently. They are both terrific movies. Unfortunately, they don't even resemble their source materials. Not even close.
If "Saving Mr. Banks" is accurate, it will be a rare event.
Published: December 11, 2013 at 12:27 PM@Anon Mouse - Without giving too much away, I can say that you're on the right track. Hanks' Disney actually relates to Travers with a story about how he similarly protected Mickey Mouse when a big producer wanted to buy the character. It's a very short scene in the film, but dealt a powerful message.
Published: December 11, 2013 at 2:50 PMI think this movie sounds interesting...but I don't think I can ever buy Tom Hanks as anyone other than Tom Hanks. To me, he's just Tom Hanks wearing a Walt Disney costume for Halloween. Tom Hanks does not disappear into his roles the way Meryl Streep or Glenn Close or Emma Thompson does. He's a likable person, sure, but I don't think he's very good at portraying famous people. He should stick to fictional roles.
Published: December 11, 2013 at 4:44 PMShe had the right to be weary of giving up her source material. Apparently after she saw the movie, she ran out of the theater, told Walt that she hated it, and didn't talk to him again.

PREA Definitions
You are here:
Departments H - Z
Sheriff's Office
Accreditation & Professional Standards
Roanoke County Sheriff's Office PREA
The Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) of 2003
is a federal law established to support the elimination and prevention of sexual assault and sexual misconduct in the correctional system. PREA addresses both inmate-to-inmate sexual assault and staff-to-inmate sexual assault. The Roanoke County Sheriff's Office fully supports the guidelines set forth in this law and has ZERO-TOLERANCE for any and all incidents of sexual assault and sexual misconduct, in accordance with the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003.
The Roanoke County Sheriff's Office implements its "Zero-Tolerance" policies through a facility-wide systematic process that begins when inmates are initially admitted into the facility. When inmates enter our intake area they are met with a comprehensive educational process where their rights to be free from sexual abuse and harassment are explained in detail to them. From there, an assessment is conducted on every inmate to determine their individual risk of victimization or predation, using an objective measurement tool, based on specific risk factors. This tool is utilized to make an individualized determination of housing and program assignments for each inmate.
Throughout the facility, inmates are exposed to education concerning reporting options through the use of the inmate handbook and posted informational sheets. Video monitoring is utilized throughout the jail facility to enhance security and surveillance. The number and location of video cameras is reviewed no less frequently than every year by facility staff to assess if the level of monitoring is adequate to protect the inmate population from sexual abuse and to ensure the safety of staff and inmates.
When it comes to sexual activity within the jail facility, Roanoke County Sheriff's Office policies and procedures are clear; ALL SEXUAL ACTIVITY IS PROHIBITED. Beyond those rules, forced or coerced sexual behavior is a criminal act that merits criminal prosecution. All substantiated incidents are reported to the local police and an investigation is conducted to ensure the perpetrator faces the full consequences of the law. The Roanoke County Sheriff's Office has an agreement with the Roanoke County Police Department that the Roanoke County/Salem jail investigates all allegations of sexual abuse unless it is determined to be criminal. In the event it is criminal, the Roanoke County Police Department will conduct all criminal investigations. This assures that all incidents of sexual assault are thoroughly investigated and referred for prosecution to the Roanoke County Commonwealth's Attorney.
In accordance with PREA, all investigations are assigned one of three possible determinations:
– an allegation which was investigated and determined to have occurred
– an allegation which was investigated and determined not to have occurred
– an allegation which produced insufficient evidence to make a final determination of a substantiated or unfounded claim
Also see the
PREA Definitions page
for more information.
The National Prison Rape Elimination Commission developed recommended national standards for reducing prison rape.
Pursuant to standard 115.88 of the Prison Rape Elimination Act, (PREA), the Roanoke County Sheriff's Office is required to:
Aggregate incident based sexual abuse data annually from publicly and privately operated facilities.
Use the data to assess and improve the effectiveness of its sexual abuse prevention, detection, and response policies, practices, and training by:
Identifying problem areas;
Tracking corrective action on an on-going basis; and
Prepare an annual report of its findings
Compare the current year's data and corrective actions with those from the prior year's and provide an assessment of the agency's progress in addressing sexual abuse.
Publish the annual report on the Roanoke County Sheriff's Office website of its findings and corrective actions for each facility, as well as the agency as a whole.
Back to top of page.
Aggregated Data
During the calendar year 2014, the PREA Coordinator for the Roanoke County Sheriff's Office collected the referrals for investigations from allegations of inmate-on-inmate and staff-on-inmate sexual abuse. This data is the basis for this section of the report.
In 2014, there were four allegations of sexual victimization that was investigated with the results of all being found Unfounded. These four allegations were divided into two allegations for sexual harassment and two allegations of sexual assault. Two allegations were made against deputies and the other two were against inmates. 14-01 revealed that an inmate did not like being strip searched upon being committed to jail; 14-02 revealed that the inmate filed it against the deputy that had listed the notification to keep this inmate and his brother separate while incarcerated; 14-03 revealed that the inmate wanted to be moved out of the cell with his current cellmate besides possibly drug seeking using PREA to his advantage; and 14-04 revealed that an inmate was using PREA in the hopes it would get him out of jail sooner.

Back to top of page.
Analysis of Findings
There were no noted or required corrective actions taken in 2014; however, cameras were added to both elevators. From the four investigations, it appears that the inmates are trying to use PREA to their advantage in obtaining or showing dislikes, retaliation, drug seeking, and possible release from jail.
The Roanoke County Sheriff's Office has always, in good faith, made an effort to analyze its efforts and results. In addition, the Roanoke County Sheriff's Office will continue to maintain a zero tolerance policy on sexual misconduct.
Problem Areas
There were no known problem area found during the past year.
Corrective Actions
Initial training has taken place and will continue for all staff, volunteers, contractors, and inmates. The Roanoke County Sheriff's Office maintains a zero tolerance policy regarding sexual harassment and sexual misconduct.
Planned Efforts for 2015
Continued training efforts and continued use of a sexual risk screening tool during the booking/medical process, as well as continued compliance with PREA.
The Roanoke County Sheriff's Office maintains a zero tolerance policy regarding sexual harassment and sexual assault and/or sexual abuse. The Sheriff's Office will continue its efforts to comply with the Prison Rape Elimination Act to prevent in-custody sexual abuse and/or sexual assaults.
On November 3-4, 2014, The Roanoke County Sheriff's Office was audited for its compliance with PREA standards and practice. This was a very thorough examination of our operations as the auditor reviewed policy and procedure, interviewed staff and inmates and evaluated the jail's physical plant. At the conclusion of the audit, the jail received a 100% compliance with PREA standards. The auditor determined that out of 43 standards, 3 standards didn't apply to our operations, 5 standards exceeded compliance, and the jail was in compliance with the remaining 35 standards. The auditor praised staff for their professionalism and knowledge of PREA standards. The auditor also commented that inmates felt safe in this facility and if a serious PREA incident did occur she was confident that it would be taken seriously and resolved professionally by staff.

Deer Hunting Forums (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/)
- The Campfire (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/campfire/)
- - Bear sighting (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/campfire/3997-bear-sighting.html)
Bear sighting
My wife an two girls one age 7yrs the other will be 6 months the 7th of July, was walking and picking blackberries today about lunch time. They were walking out to the powerline behind our house its about 300 or 400 yrds. back its one of my favorite hunting places. When my wife spotted a black bear that probably would have weighed 200 pounds or maybe a little more or less. When she seen it she hollered at my oldest daughter to run an she took off pushing the stroller running as fast as they could. I told them when I heard what they did that they should have stood their ground that running was more likely to trigger an attack, what do you'll think we are interested to hear?
bear will 99 times out of 100 run from humans. if they had just yelled at it, it probably run away.
In almost all cases Black Bears have a big reputation for running from humans, a Black Bear attack is extremely rare...
Seen a few bear myself. Most of the time I managed to depart the area without being detected. Every time, but one the bear headed in the opposite direction from me. That one time I got between a sow and her young. My bad!
Bear sighting
Well did she attack you?
About 4 years ago I had a pretty big boar bear scent track me right to my ladder stand and put his paws on the 2nd rung. I told him that one more step and he would get 30" of cold aluminum. He simply looked at me and steped down and fed his way away. I've had others run like they were shot out of a cannon. There have been several bears sighted this year in the area I hunt in PA.
Bears are curious and shy but sometimes the curiousity lets them get too close for comfort. The only time one should really worry is when there is a sow with cubs. That is a recipe for disaster. Other than that just yell at them and that usually is enough to get them moving.
My parents had a curious Black Bear on thei porch at their cabin. The property backs up to the Lincoln National Forest in NM so the get all sorts of stuff wandering up to the cabin. First time theyve gotten a bear though. I'll see if I can get the pictures and put em up. They are kinda hard to see b/c for obvious reasons they didnt want to use the flash...
Based on its height on the bannister of the deck, it was about 40" or so tall at teh shoulder. I have no idea if thats a big black bear or not, but it looked big in the pictures.

New Owner (2012 Hatchback SEL): Engine Noise, Parcel Shelf/Cargo Shade Questions
I'm a new Ford Focus 2012 Hactchback SEL owner. It offered the best combination of price, fuel economy, quietness, and hatchback-ness out there and drove quite nicely.
I just have a couple questions/comments...
Wind noise is really good. Road noise is okay. But engine noise is kinda bothering me. It's really a low frequency rumble (like below 60 Hz). It's noticeable when I first turn on the engine and is pretty loud whenever the engine is revving, though it's less of a problem when coasting. Is that the norm?
Has anyone had experience with adding sound deadening? ie, dynamat and related materials? Does anyone have experience with how that has improved engine noise? I started calling shops and people were saying that they could also put sound deadening stuff behind the dashboard, but they could only go so far without removing the dash, and that removing the dash would basically double the cost of the job. Anybody have thoughts on that? I'm woefully inexperienced with cars and don't have the time to install the sound deadening stuff myself.
Second, it was carelessness on my part, but I didn't realize that the car (or at least my car) didn't come with a parcel hatch/cargo shade (ie, the retractable thing that covers the trunk). I tried calling my dealer to get one, but they said that the car doesn't even have the retractable option. Is that true? I thought that retractable cover thing was pretty much standard for cars. What do people do to cover the trunk then? I like to keep a bag of supplies and such in the car but I don't want it broken into.
Overall I'm still pleased with the car. Every car out there was going to be a compromise in some way. I would like to take care of the noise if possible, though.
As far as the cargo shade, I have a TI and it came with solid shelf that lifts with the gate. As far as I can tell and checked they are correct there is no option for a retractable one. As far is the noise from the engine, I have upgraded my intake and that makes it louder. Although I really only notice it when the windows are down, or the radio is volume is low.
I bought one of these as soon as I got my car, I seem to remember it making it quieter. They also claim that in the ad.
As far as the rear shade goes you will have to order one or check salvage yards.
I wish there were more choice for engine covers, spark plug covers, out there for this car. A little dress up under the hood would go a long way
I drove my friend around in my car and he doesn't think there's anything weird. It actually seemed quieter with him in the car. Maybe the extra weight does something, or driving around is adding up in some way? Anyway, I will continue to update this thread with observations and any new info.
Thanks everyone. I'm slightly less worried.
Very weird that you think your car is loud. The focus is known for how quiet it is.
I too have the engine cover but to be honest, I did not notice a change in sound - it was very quiet before installing, and still quiet afterwards.
Maybe something is wrong though? No way to tell without hearing it.
My car has a loud exhaust drone at hiway speeds. Its like a resonance at speed.
Some of the low frequency rumble is the fact it is a hatch. All hatches are more susceptible to make a deep rumbling sound due to the shape of the interior.
the fact your car is missing that hatch bit which goes from seat to rear covering the cargo space probably makes things worse.
that piece really IS a part of the car. and no way should it be missing.
Also fill up the cargo space with a bulky item. a thick blanket in there would cut the rumble some.
I am very aware of the deep rumble noise this car (actually any hatch) makes.
Like I mentioned, sticking sound dampening bulky stuff into the cargo space can reduce the rumble.

I just pulled into my motel at the Alabama River. I've never been here before so it's a real treat. You can feel the bass fishing history as soon as you get out of your vehicle. It's everywhere. Maybe I get a little sentimental sometimes but I get goose bumps when I think about all this area means to our sport.
Almost as good, there's a Bass Pro Shops right across the street. After it gets dark, I can spend some time there looking around. Most of you know what I'm talking about. You can buy things you absolutely need, but that you didn't know you needed until you saw them. It's great. The only thing that's better is actually fishing.
All in all, this is about as good as it gets, especially when you consider that this one is going to be a different type of event.
There's been a lot of rain around here so I'm guessing that the river will be up and that it'll be muddy. It's that way now, anyway. I'd be surprised if it dropped much before the tournament starts. A lot of anglers don't like those conditions but I'm not one of them. There should be fish shallow, and that's just fine by me.
This one is critical. As the season goes along, it gets tougher and tougher to move up in the Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year points standings. With every tournament, the points you earn become a smaller and smaller percentage of the total. By the time you get to the last couple of them, it's darn near impossible to move up very many places.
That means I need to get going if I'm going to reclaim my Classic qualification standing. West Point sure didn't help me. As a matter of fact, it really hurt. That tournament was a lesson, by the way. We'll talk about that next week.
Regardless, I'm really looking forward to fishing this week. Although I've been fishing B.A.S.S. for over two decades, I've never fished the Alabama River so everything will be new to me.
One thing I found that'll help me, though, is a website called Acme Mapper. (They are not a sponsor.) I honestly don't know how long it's been around but it's new to me. I like the way they put things together and how it all works. The satellite views are super good, and you can find exactly what you want without a lot of hassle. That's my kind of site.
I've been using it to scout some areas and do some early research from my motel room. That's a lot of help. Two and a half days of practice isn't much when you stop and think things through. I'm passing this information along in case it'll help you somewhere along the line. We're all in this together. It's us against the fish.

Another old Cougar who is in the Vikings' secondary -- and also a special teams standout -- is Husain Abdullah. Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier recently told Pro Football Weekly that Abdullah has a chance to unseat one of the incumbent starters at safety, Madieu Williams and Tyrell Johnson.
Husain's older brother (and fellow Cougar) Hamza Abdullah sat out most of last season after being waived by Cleveland but came on strong for the Cardinals after being picked up in December. His limited time in Phoenix was well spent as the Cards re-signed him to a one-year contract. Terms were not disclosed.
BACK TO RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS. Another Cougar weighing his options this NFL off-season is Browns running back Jerome Harrison, who had a monstrous final five weeks last season. Cleveland has extended him a "qualifying offer" that he has until June 15 to accept. Terms are unknown. Harrison, unlike the rest of the Browns' restricted free agents, has joined the club's OTA sessions so one can presume he's warming to their offer and, perhaps, a little concerned that rookie Montario Hardesty might bump him from a starting job. Harrison earned $539,000 last season.
Erik Coleman, one of the all-time great defenders in WSU history, is entering his seventh NFL season and third with the Atlanta Falcons. He holds a distinction no one else in the league can claim. According to records released by the NFL this spring about its performance-pay program, Coleman has received more of this "bonus" money -- $838,000 -- over the years than any other player. The program is designed to reward guys whose base salary doesn't reflect their true productivity. Coleman's base salary last season was $1.28 million. Despite getting long-in-the-tooth by NFL standards, Coleman remains a tackling machine. In 2008, he was Atlanta's second-leading tackler, with 127 stops, while playing free safety and last season, playing strong safety, he was the team's third-leading tackler with 139.
In its coverage of the 49ers' OTAs last month, the San Francisco Chronicle noted that much-maligned quarterback Alex Smith continues to show great command of the offense, but it's Michael Crabtree and former WSU star receiver Jason Hill "who continue to make him look good, with their quick hands in full-stride catches."
THE LONG NFL CAREER OF Rob Meier, a standout on WSU's 1998 Rose Bowl team, has come to an official close. After nine solid sesons with the Jaguars, he spent all of last year on injured reserve with a bad shoulder and then was released by the Jags this past February.
He ranks fourth in Jaguars history with 138 games played and his 21.5 career sacks is No. 9 on the franhise list.
"Rob was a seventh-round draft choice back in the 2000 draft who developed into a ten-year player for us, playing in 138 games," said Jackonsville GM Gene Smith. "He's without question one of the toughest players to ever wear a Jaguars uniform."
ELSEWHERE IN PRO FOOTBALL, record-setting Cougar quarterback Alex Brink made his debut with the CFL's Winnipeg Bluebombers yesterday in the team's three-day off-season training session for rookies. Brink, who spent 2008 on the Houston Texans' practice squad, signed with the Bombers a month ago.
A Manitoba radio station liked what it saw after Brink's first day in action, saying, "Alex Brink of Washington State showed lots of poise on the practice field with his quick release and strong arm. Brink is expected to be a major factor in the quarterback derby."
Also in a CFL rookie camp this week is former Cougar offensive lineman Joe Eppele of British Columbia. He was the No. 2 overall pick in the CFL's recent draft of home-grown talent and just signed a two-year contract with the Toronto Arognauts. The 6-8, 309-pound Eppele, a discus-throwing project who never cracked the starting line up at WSU, had a year of eligibility left but opted to head to the CFL because, he recently told a Vancouver paper, he didn't think he was getting a square chance to play at WSU.

On the Doorstep: Random Thoughts on May 5
My 61st birthday on May 5 – Cinco de Mayo – was spent, for the most part, at work, ending with a long county Board meeting. But that unpromising description belies all the special things that family and friends took the time to do to mark my day.
Several sent flowers, others sent Facebook messages, some called, others came by with gifts and cards, and one friend led a round of "Happy Birthday" at the end of the aforementioned meeting.
What could have been just another Monday turned into a good day. So, thank you, sweet friends, for remembering this old, gray-haired lady. I am trying to cherish the good days and memories and forget all the bad, like crime, wars, politics, and yes, angry words, rumors and accusations that are what modern life has become.

Juror reaction to guilty verdict for La Quinta woman
"It's going to be with me for a long time."
PALM DESERT, Calif. - Timothy Bench left the Larson Justice Center after what he calls the hardest two weeks of his life.
"Oh definitely. The most difficult thing. It's going to be with me for a long time," juror Timothy Bench said.
The jury returned verdicts of guilty on all counts against Yolanda Guadalupe Pena in the brutal murder of her 3-year-old daughter. Pena faced one count each of murder, torture, assault causing the death of a child, and inflicting injury on a child. Prosecutors say Pena also abused an older daughter.
"I am relieved, elated. I feel like justice has finally been served," district attorney Lisa DiMaria said.
Prosecutors say Pena's daughter, Delilah, suffered head trauma, 2nd degree burns to her body, and lost parts of three fingers before losing her life.
Pena sobbed as the verdicts were read in court.
"First time she really cried, except for the time she was being arrested," Bench said.
"This woman brutally tortured and murdered her three-year-old daughter and severely abused her other children. So her tears...she's crying for herself as far as I'm concerned," DiMaria said.
The district attorney wasn't able to pursue the death penalty in the case. Pena could face life in prison when she's sentenced on August 6th.

I have carried pocket knives since I was twelve years old. Never thought of a pocket knife as a tool of self defense, just as a daily tool. I have been reading Oklahoma laws regarding knives and have come to the conclusion that Oklahoma legislature never really came to a conclusion regarding knife regulations. Their laws are very foggy and wordy. For the most part, I am not worried because I don't carry any double sided, spring assisted, butterfly, etc. Just normal 3 inch, maybe 3.5 inch folders.
My real question is: to what extent are Oklahoma citizens entitled to regarding SD with the use of a pocket knife?
I ask this because to carry a gun in OK, a person needs a license. No license is necessary for a knife. So when a law-abiding citizen shoots a threat, it seems to me that he would have a better chance in court than a law abiding citizen that fatally cut an attacker.
I am not asking these questions so that I can feel better about using my little folders as a weapon, I have had no such training. So I will live with the fact that I do not have the weapon advantage over any attacker and avoid any and all confrontations if at all possible.
So going on with my question, can a person that does not own a gun, use a knife legally for self defense against an unarmed attacker (who is a legitimate threat)? We'll say to simple the scenario, a house intruder. Intruder identified, warned, and has no intent on peacefully leaving. Again has nothing but his body to threaten the home-owner with.

Submitted to: Conference on Rumen Function
Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: 11/16/2000
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Recent reports have suggested feeding of antibiotics to domestic animals may result in increased microbial resistance to antibiotics, which can have an impact on human health. We have initiated an investigation of antibiotic resistant (AR) anaerobic bacteria present in both pig feces and manure storage pits. Samples were collected from a local swine facility. AR bacteria were enumerated on complex media with and without tetracycline (Tc), erythromycin (Em), or tylosin (Ty). AR bacteria were found in all samples, and the level of resistance ranged from 4% Em resistance to 32% Ty resistance. Several Em/Ty resistant strains were also Tc resistant. Em/Ty resistant bacteria were subjected to PCR tests for the presence of a different class of erm genes. At least two strains that were ermB positive were also Tc resistant and contained a tetM gene by PCR testing and sequencing. One Em resistant strain was found to contain a 4.1-kb plasmid. .This plasmid contained an ermT gene and was capable of replicating and providing Em resistance in B. subtilis, S. gordonii, and E. coli. Total DNA preparations from each sample were tested with Em and Tc gene PCR primers and the products randomly cloned and sequenced for similarity analyses with known AR genes. The finding of a high number of identified and unidentified AR eubacteria in swine feces and manure storage pits suggests that these ecosystems may serve as reservoirs of antibiotic resistance genes.

I'm just curious on what exactly does the ECT sensor do? I believe it stands for Engine Coolant Temperature. It plugs into the lower portion of the radiator next to the drain plug.
Does this operate the temperature gauge on the dash? There are 2 other sensors in the upper water neck as well, just wonder what each of these sensors do.

Salary growth expected for 2016
3 Feb
Unlike the wage stagnation that marked the previous few years, 2016 looks to be a good one for employee salaries. Numerous institutions from the ERI Economic Research Institute to consulting firms such as the Korn Ferry Hay Group project real wages – salaries adjusted for inflation – will increase by 2.7 percent. With that being said, businesses need a thorough and detailed system and budget in place for rewarding employees. Ensure you have a set plan in your employee management system.
Planning for a raise
Performance-based bonuses and promotions are two tried-and-true ways of compensating your top talent. Also, bonuses and promotions that include pay raises can help your company retain employees as the job market and the economy bounce back from the recession. Landing as well as keeping good employees will get harder as the economy improves.
To formulate your bonus and salary raise budget for the year, you'll want to first examine the markets from the previous 12 months. Keep track of movements in the Consumer Price Index, the unemployment rates for both the country and your state as well as any fluctuation in the gross domestic product. Also, keep the current minimum wage in mind along with any mandated increases to pay by contractors or unionized staff members.
Keeping it clear
When coming up with a bonus budget for your staff, make sure your employees understand how to get from point A to B when it comes to receiving a bonus or a promotion. Don't keep them in the dark. You not only want to offer competitive salaries to attract and retain talent, you also want to use bonuses and promotions to reward them and raise morale within the company. Your employees, though, must know what kind of work you expect of them in order to move up the chain of command in your business.
Keep your staff members on track by checking in with each of them on a quarterly basis to go over questions, concerns, their job performance and what they need to do if they want a bonus or raise. Create an office culture of constant learning and development to maintain employee engagement and to keep everyone on the same page.

Do you want an easy icing for sugar cookies that leaves everybody wanting more? Yesterday I shared a wonderful Easy Sugar Cookies recipe. Today I want to share how to make a quick and easy glaze/icing that goes perfect with the sugar cookie recipe.
And the best part — it's two ingredients! You know I like to keep it Cleverly Simple!
Let's start with the ingredients. (Make sure you have your cookies ready. You can find the best sugar cookie recipe here.)

- 1 Cup Powdered Sugar
- 4 tsp Milk
- Mix with fork!
- You can customize this recipe by adding powdered sugar to make it thicker. Add more milk to make it a glaze.
You start with the simple ingredients of powdered sugar and milk. And of course, make sure you have your sugar cookies baked and cooled.
1. Mix the powdered sugar and milk with a fork until smooth. The powdered sugar will dissolve. There's no need to dirty more dishes than that! I like the consistency of this recipe but you can make it thinner or thicker by adding more milk or more powdered sugar.
2. Add the icing to a ziploc sandwich bag. (If you're fancy, you can use an icing bag.) Add food coloring to color. (Optional) Mix.
*This is a great step for kids!
3. Cut a small hole in the corner of the bag.
4. Pipe the icing onto the cookie and use a knife to spread the icing.
If you like to add a bit of color, just follow the first steps and use a different color of icing. The glaze does start to dry immediately. Therefore, add sprinkles right away.
Let the cookies sit until the icing/glaze has time to harden. You can then stack the cookies. They freeze really well this way so you can bake weeks ahead of Christmas!
Here's more inspiration to pair with your sugar cookie icing.

It's that time again, when your mom slaves over a hot stove for hours, your dad kicks back on the couch watching football, and you and the dog are forced to wait outside until dinner time, because neither of you can be trusted around the food.
For the last 389 years the fourth Thursday in November has officially been called Thanksgiving, but everyone has dubbed it Turkey Day. (By the way, whose bright idea was it to make it a Thursday? Come on really, who the heck wants a Thursday off of work only to have to go back on Friday? Not to mention that makes the Friday after Thanksgiving a prized vacation day that leads to all kinds of interoffice battles that can lead to hurt feelings and lost promotions.)
Turkey has had its time in the spot light for far too long. It's time to change things up, kick it up a notch, crank that mother to 11, and blow the socks off grandma. I propose that this year we make Thanksgiving all about BACON!!! And to keep with the spirit of gluttony that is Thanksgiving we need to give people "bacon over load.â€
Here are just a couple ideas off the top of my head of ways to incorporate bacon into every dish.
How to incorporate Bacon:
The Sides:
- Corn – if you're just a plain corn in a bowel kind of family goes ahead and crumbles some nice crispy pepper bacon in there. But if you're a corn on the cob kind of man then wrap that son of gun in some bacon and throw it on the grill.
- Green Beans – Go for the classic bacon and green beans. Wrap some green bean bundles with semi cooked bacon and cook them in the oven. Don't forget to save the dripping and pour them directly on the beans before serving.
- Mashed Potatoes – give your potatoes a kick with some Swiss cheese and crispy bacon chunks. Before serving just stir in the cheese and bacon.
- Sweet Potatoes – make your sweet potatoes the same way you always do with the marshmallows, brown sugar, and butter but this time add some nicely fried up maple bacon. It will add a level of savor that you might never recover from.
- Bread – how about some bacon bread? All you do is sauté up some red peppers, onions and garlic in some bacon grease then coat your biscuits with the mixture adding bacon bits, melted butter and cheese then pop them in the oven.
Main Course:
- Turkey – Wrap the whole thing, inside and out with bacon. Remember to put some under the skin and you will have the moistest bird you ever put in your mouth.
- Stuffing – cook it inside the bird like god intended, none of this stove top bull crap. If you have already wrapped the turkey in bacon and put some strips in the cavity then your stuffing should already have a nice bacon flavor to it, but it never hurts to crumble up some more and add it.
- Gravy – Now that your bird is done you will have bacon/turkey drippings. Add some white wine, some flour and BOOM; you got yourself some Bacon-Turkey gravy.
- Pumpkin Pie – There is only one desert that should ever be served on Thanksgiving, pumpkin pie. It's hard to mess with perfection but I will try. Why not make some candied bacon and put it on top. Just lay your bacon on a cookie sheet and cover everything with brown sugar then pop it in the oven. Be very careful when it comes to candied bacon at just about the time you say "I just checked it, it's fine.†It will turn into little rashers of burnt fire.
So that's my way to make bacon the front runner this Thanksgiving. Let us know how you plan to use bacon this holiday season by commenting below.
