text: Home > Regions Woman claims syndicate in PCSO took her P14-M lotto prize ABS-CBN News Posted at Nov 12 2010 03:36 PM | Updated as of Nov 12 2010 11:36 PM Share Save Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn MANILA, Philippines - A woman claiming to have won a P14-million lotto jackpot said she was duped by a syndicate at the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO). The woman from Tarlac province, who requested anonymity, said she immediately went to the PCSO's national office in Quezon City after winning a P14-million 6/45 lotto jackpot last February. She said a female PCSO employee named Loida Guevarra asked her to sign a special power of attorney and told her to open a bank account, where the lotto prize would be deposited. The woman said the P14 million did not reach her bank account. She also said that she has confirmed with PCSO that the lotto prize has already been claimed. Atty. Lauro Patiag, manager of the PCSO's legal department, denied the woman's claim. He said that the real winner of the 6/45 lotto prize was a resident of Metro Manila and not from Tarlac. "Hindi totoo iyan... May ibang nanalo na taga-Metro Manila," Patiag said. He, however, said that they will still look into the allegation of the woman. -- Report from Kori Quintos, ABS-CBN Central Luzon Share Save Facebook Share on Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Read More: lotto 6/45 lotto /news/11/21/17/2-arestado-sa-paggamit-pagpapakalat-ng-pekeng-pera-sa-nueva-vizcaya/overseas/11/21/17/bali-volcano-spews-smoke-and-ash-raising-eruption-fears/news/11/21/17/sc-orders-bato-5-others-to-appear-in-next-oral-arguments-on-drug-war/entertainment/11/21/17/look-rufa-mae-shows-off-post-baby-body/news/11/21/17/duterte-eyes-acquisition-of-23-attack-helicopters

Fresh after the KITH x NAKED x adidas NMD CS2 news come a new Boost soled model.
The Three Stripe giant officially announced the global launch of their much teased adidas Iniki Runner. The old school themed runner takes inspo from adidas' iconic sneakers then fused with their in-the-now Boost technology.
The adidas Iniki Runner features a two-way stretch mesh upper with vintage themed suede panels and serrated three stripes. To further highlight their nostalgic elements, the placement of the "Iniki" branding was made similar to the adidas Gazelle.
To top it off, the signature black Continental Boost outsole was replaced with gum soles. If your 80's kid, this new-meets-old NMD iteration will bring out some serious childhood memories – but just much comfier.
adidas Iniki Runner is set to launch worldwide this March 1 in four different colorways, two of which are women's exclusive. We're eyeing the collegiate gray/red/blue colorway. Which one do you like?
For other iconic inspired runners take a look at the newly released New Balance 247 Sport.

One of my readers asked me to create a map showing the "density" of metal bands in European countries—and so I did. The following map shows the number of entries (which represent both active and inactive metal bands) in Encyclopaedia Metallum, divided by the country's population in millions. For comparison: The number for the United States is 72.
Regarding the controversy surrounding the term per capita that sprang up in the comments: It is customary to use the label "per capita" in the titles of statistical studies in which a total (such as the number of metal bands) is divided by population size, even if the units used within the article itself are different (for instance, the entire English Wikipedia follows this approach).

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Lawn Mowing' started by Pitbullawns, Apr 21, 2009.
How would you price a 1/5 acre yard to be dethatched? Does it take longer than just mowing it?
Depends on what type of thatcher you are using and how much thatch is in that yard. It is going to take you longer than just mowing no matter what the conditions are, it is a slower process and there is cleanup of all the thatch involved.
When I thatch, I cut the lawn short, thatch, then mow again with the bagger on my mower. If the lawn is heavily thatched, you may have to go over it in multiple directions. The time it takes is heavily depenedent on your thatcher.
What kind of equipment is best do you guys find? One of the walk behind dethatching machines? The rake/tines on the back or front of your mower? Or some other thing?
If you are keeping up with it, as in doing it on a regular basis ex. yearly bi-yearly, I think the front mount ztr models work fine. If there is heavy thatch that has not been removed in a while then I like using the walk behind models. Since we do our thatching every year, we don't use the walk behind ones very often so we just rent one. I like the model Blue Bird makes, you can get one that has a bagging type system on it, this helps to reduce a lot of the cleanup, it should still be mowed over with a bagging mower though. But usually I just use the front mount ztr thatcher with the vac system on the ztr and do thatch and cleanup in one step.
Thank you so much! This was exactly what I was looking for. This is a new customer, so I am assuming it has not been done in awhile. I am going to go do an estimate for it Thursday. I just ddn't know if I wanted to add a dethatcher to my equipment or rent one. I had a good deal lined up to buy a Billy Goat one for $700, but I just don't know how much use I will really get with it, so renting might be the way to go!
I use a 38" revitalizer on the back of a simplicity garden tractor. It looks like a rototiller and makes quick work out of most yards. I find the de-thatchers that look like a rake to be a toy. Depends on how much thatch you have and what kind of grass too.
I have the Bluebird spring tine dethatcher with the honda and it works awesome. It was about 1,200$ which is pricey but well worth it as far as durability and results. Almost all of my accounts have dethatching done every spring so I went with the spring tine style not the blade style which is rougher on healthy lawns. I just cut the lawn very low, dethatch in a checker board pattern and then do a final mow very slow with my 36" Scag w/catcher to vac it all up. As far as rates I charge 3 times the mowing charge plus a small dump fee usually 10$-20$.
We use a wheel pull behind rake system set up to dethatch. I love it!!!! It does a great job. We did a yard a little bigger than your doing but not much. It took us right at one hour to do. That was running the rake system, sweeping, we also have a power broom and that works great to get up thatch too. And of course some hand raking in the really bad area's. Once everything was loose, we sweeped it up with our sweeper, bagged up the thatch and were done. We take the thatch to our composting system. We charge by the hour. We charge $20.00 /hour. The home owner said the job was great and paid us $40.00 for the job. I was happy.
Good luck.
song bird is rediculously cheap...move to wisconsin. ill sub you and pay you 20 bucks an hour...anyway...
i just did one this week, front mount thatched the whole thing, then went back and cut it short and bagged it all. running the thatcher mower and bagger at the same time doesnt leave a good clean finish. if i were to do it again, i would thatch again in the opposite direction, or add weight to the thatcher, or just aerate before-hand at some point. just to clarify, this lawn was very thick, full of thatch, im sure it was fertilized often and has a full irrigation system.

On 1 May 2015, amendments to the NSW Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Regulation (2008) will come into force, requiring head contractors to hold retention monies on trust for subcontractors with an approved authorised deposit-taking institution (ADI), or bank.
The new requirement only applies to contracts under which security for the subcontractor's performance takes the form of retention money, rather than bank guarantees, bonds or unconditional undertakings. It also only applies when the value of the construction project (ie, the contract between the head contractor and principal) is over $20 million. Should post-contract variations push the value above $20 million, the retention money trust account requirements will come into play.
Retention money trust accounts explained
The new regulation was enacted as a result of the Collins Inquiry, which found that significant numbers of subcontractors do not receive retention money when they become entitled, often because the head contractor uses those funds as working capital or to satisfy debts.
Under the new regulation, head contractors must hold all retention money on trust by establishing a separate trust account for retention money held:
- for a particular contractor; or
- in connection with a particular construction project; or
- in connection with two or more (or all) of the head contractor's construction projects.
The accounts are administered by the head contractor. As such, the head contractor is able to access the funds without needing to prove its entitlement to a third party adjudicator. The head contractor is not permitted, however, to withdraw retention money except for the purposes of paying the money in accordance with the contract, in circumstances agreed between the subcontractor and head contractor, or by order of court. Interest earned on retention money is also held on trust, unless the parties agree otherwise. The head contractor is prohibited from using the funds to satisfy its debts.
Head contractors are also required to comply with certain administrative obligations such as notifying the Chief Executive of the Office of Finance and Services when the account is set up or if it is overdrawn or closed, keeping (and retaining) records and submitting an 'annual review report'.
Head contractors face penalties of up to a maximum of $22,000 for non-compliance with certain of these provisions.
Head contractors, subcontractors and banks may also be directed to provide the Chief Executive with certain information about retention money trust accounts. Non-compliance could attract a penalty of up to $22,000.
How will this affect you?
Head contractors should be aware of the following:
- Administrative burden: The regime undoubtedly imposes an administrative burden on head contractors in relation to retention money which did not previously exist. Head contractors should familiarise themselves with these requirements.
- Reduced cash flow: Head contractors may prefer to use bank guarantees as security for payment of the balance of the contract sum rather than retention money, which will no longer be available as working capital.
- Conflict with existing securities: Head contractors should check the terms of their own secured debt facilities as they may preclude the establishment of a separate trust account or make it difficult to do so.
- Reduced value of security: As retention money will not be available to satisfy head contractor debts, lenders may discount the value of the trust account or require security to take an alternative form.
The protections afforded to subcontractors under the regulations are largely subject to what is agreed between the parties. As such, both head contractors and subcontractors should ensure that subcontracts providing for retention monies deal with the circumstances in which the head contractor is able to withdraw retention money from the trust account (for example, in the case of subcontractor default), and which party is entitled to the interest earned.
Despite the threat of penalties under the regulation, the potential also remains for head contractors to misuse the retention money held. In such circumstances, the subcontractor may have to enforce its rights through the courts. Subcontractors may as a result prefer bank guarantees to cover their non-performance over security in the form of retention money.
Whilst trust accounts are a good idea, the clear problem with this legislation is that it applies to contracts worth more than $20 million.
From my recollection, the explanatory notes released at the time this scheme was announced showed that only around four percent of all commercial building projects approved for construction throughout New South Wales (the state in which these new rules will apply) even reach $1 million in value, let alone $20 million. This means the new regime will apply to less than four percent of all commercial building contracts and offers no protection at all for the 96 plus percent of commercial building projects within that state which will fall beneath the threshold value.
Why you would make a rule to protect subcontractors in less than four percent of cases but give them no protection at all in more than 96 percent of cases is beyond me, but it is clear that this legislation goes nowhere near what is needed to be adequate protection for subcontractors in any way.
Rob and Andrew,
Good article and comments however the fundamental problem here is that the new legislation is like putting a finger in a leaking dyke. It addresses the condition but not the cause. What legislators fail to recognise is that construction now involves rapidly changing business models which increasingly take on a global and industrialised construction framework.
In that context more sophisticated supply relationships will need to be struck which respect what each of the parties bring to the table. The historical culture of clients, quantity surveyors and contractors to "bid shop" is one example. If the parties think this is the optimal point from which to start organising procurement relationships then they will be doomed to continuation of today's lousy productivity and costs. I am not suggesting soft contracting like alliance or partnering I am talking about genuine integration of design, manufacture and assembly. In such a relationship holding back payments due in a critical supply chain will be churlish and counter-productive. The sooner electronic pay when pay arrangements go into place the sooner this subject will fade as the relic it should be.
Being involved as a subcontractor in the Reed Construction collapse this is well overdue as Reed had no retention system in place and by all accounts owed sub contractors more than 7 million in retention monies with myself being one of them
This overhaul is long overdue and should be across all states and agree with Andrew that the contract threshold will have little effect and maximum penalties for non compliance of $22,000 will be of no deterrence to large commercial builders
As a sub contractor who has worked for large builders on large projects you have very little or no protection and would be interested to now how many people have been prosecuted since the conception of security of payments act 2001

For years there were rumors of the most iconic showdown in horror history becoming a reality. After Freddy Vs. Jason hit theaters in 2003 and made $82 million at the US box office, everyone speculated the horror mashup would cross over into a third franchise, specifically with Evil Dead. Much to the dismay of horror fans everywhere, Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees never encountered Ash.
Comicbook.com has an interesting tidbit from the man himself, Mr. , at this year's Wizard World Nashville Comic Con. Apparently, Campbell blames New Line Cinema for the project never getting made:
"We had that conversation with New Line Cinema," said Campbell. "And it went something like this, Breep [mimicking telephone ringing] Oh. look it's New Line Cinema. Hello. 'Hi, this is New Line Cinema. We'd like to make Ash Vs. Jason Vs. Freddy.' Great idea, then Ash can kill Jason and Freddy once and for all. Hello? That was it. That was the conversation."
CBM also reports that he continued his rant, saying:
"How you gonna kill them? You can't kill them. That's why those movies are so stupid. You can grind Jason's face off with a propeller, with a boat. I've seen it with my own two eyes. I forget what number that was, which version of which f---ng remake, sequel bull---. You see his face ground up. It's the end of the movie. Then, boomp his eyes open, end credits roll."
He has a point. But still: That's the major appeal of creating a movie like this. Each and every one of them would actually win, which means we all win by witnessing and a violent, epic showdown that would go down as a horror classic.
I personally think they should throw Pinhead into the mix. Let me know your crossover fantasy on Twitter

Lori Tharps
March 2008
224 pages
Publisher Comments:
Magazine writer and editor Lori Tharps was born and raised in the comfortable but mostly White suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she was often the only person of color in her school and neighborhood. At an early age, Lori decided that her destiny would be discovered in Spain. She didn't know anyone from Spain, had never visited the country, and hardly spoke the language. Still, she never faltered in her plans to escape to the Iberian Peninsula.
Arriving in the country as an optimistic college student, however, Lori soon discovers Spain's particular attitude toward Blackness. She is chased down the street by the local schoolchildren and pointed at incessantly in public, and her innocent dreams of a place where race doesn't matter are shattered. The story would end there, except Lori meets and marries a Spaniard, and that's when her true Spanish adventure really begins.
Against the ancient backdrops of Cádiz and Andalucía, Lori starts the intricate yet amusing journey of rekindling her love affair with Spain and becoming a part of her new Spanish family. From a grandmother who spies on her to a grandfather who warmly welcomes her to town with a slew of racist jokes, the close-knit clan isn't exactly waiting with open arms. Kinky Gazpacho tells the story of the redeeming power of love and finding self in the most unexpected places.
At its heart, this is a love story. It is a memoir, a travel essay, and a glimpse into the past and present of Spain. As humorous and entertaining as such favorite travel stories as Under the Tuscan Sun, this book also unveils a unique and untold history of Spain's enduring connection to West Africa. Kinky Gazpacho celebrates the mysticism of travel and the joys of watching two distinct cultures connect and come together.
I would say this book is more about Tharps' own quest for love and finding herself, and less of a travel memoir. Her reflections of her experiences in Spain focus more on what it is like to be Black in Spain, than on living or traveling in the country. So in the one sense it is a highly personal account. However, if you are looking for a book that gives you a sense of place, this isn't it. I was actually disappointed when Tharps got to Spain and seemed to spend her time wanting/not wanting men. I wanted more travel!I think it's misleading that I found it in the travel memoir section…I think it would be better suited to multi-cultural education.
And if I look at the book in that light, than I like it. Tharps is very candid about her experiences growing up in white suburbs, and not quite fitting in. When she went to college she tried to reinvent herself by embracing Black culture, but she didn't find instant acceptance there, either. Spain was also a struggle, as she struggled to figure out why she was both an object of attraction and scorn. It isn't until she is married and a journalist that Tharps uncovers Spain's history with slavery, and therefore gains a better understanding of the people and the country that have become intertwined in her life.
So while this certainly wasn't the book I originally thought it would be, it still ended up being an interesting and educational read.

Sean joined 3to5 Club a couple years ago. His small business provides entertainment for parties such as caricatures, face painting, and balloon twisting. When he joined, he was working 40-50 hours a week on everything from marketing and bookkeeping to attending the parties to twist balloons for children. Sean is a great guy and brings joy wherever he goes, but this was still a challenging business in which to make significant income.
Now, just two years later, Sean doesn't just work to make money, he has built a business that makes money. They've expanded from Denver to Colorado Springs, Pheonix and Tucson, and most recently Houston and Dallas. They are making parties fun for more families and businesses than Sean ever though possible. This is the power of 3to5 Club.
3to5 Club is your community of business owners committed to building mature businesses and living their ideal lifestyle. We begin with the end in mind – lifetime goals – and intentionally build companies with the right beliefs, practices, tools, and people that provide the business owner (and employees) with both time and money.
Our communities around the world meet for two primary purposes — content and community. Every month we teach and discuss another topic on a 24-month rotation. We also spend time sharing wins and losses, getting each other's perspectives on our businesses, and masterminding to the benefit of everyone. It's a truly unique experience to be in our meetings.

The effect of school quality on educational attainment and wages
The paper examines the effects of pupil-teacher ratios and type of school on educational attainment and wages using the British National Child Development Survey (NCDS). The NCDS is a panel survey that follows a cohort of individuals born in March 1958 and has a rich set of background variables recorded throughout the individuals' lives. The results suggest that, once we control for ability and family background, the pupil-teacher ratio has no impact on educational qualifications or on men's wages. It has an impact on women's wages at the age of 33, particularly those of low ability. We also find evidence that those who attend selective schools have better educational outcomes and, in the case of men, higher wages at the age of 33. The impact is greater for the type of individuals who are less likely to attend selective schools but for whom a comparison group does exist among those attending. © 2002 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Lynn Lamb's Mechaniclism - available at Amazon - opens with the birth of one of its characters, and describes the poor lot she has received in life. With a severe immune deficiency, Ireland Barton's life will be spent in a bubble of dustless, filtered air to prevent microbial infection and probable death. Her over-protective loving father ensures her sheltered existence. She has a hazmat suit but she spends the vast majority of her life in her room, studying, reading books and learning about the outside world via the Internet. She attains a degree via distance learning, and a PhD at twenty-six. Her scientific background gives her the skills to take on the challenge of a pandemic when it strikes - an illness that appears to wipe out the vast majority of humanity in a number of weeks. (And we can only assume the worst as international communications break down.)
Part of this book's beauty is the mirroring of the two lives: both Ireland and Jori are prisoners of sorts, both face seemingly impossible challenges in research and study.
In similar novels, we could dismiss the henchmen and servants who torture, watch over or look after Jori - here, their roles are more prominent, each of them seeming to have his own role in a manner similar to Batman's cast of villains. It's a shame we don't see more of them. In the present, meanwhile, Ireland and the team she brings together in her near-apocalypse bicker and argue with each other with as much vehemence.
Another inventive touch is Lamb's placing of a heroine front-and-center
whose life could be snuffed out by a sneeze from her own father. That
Ireland is the one who must find a cure or vaccine for the deadly plague
is a delicious irony.

by Josh Knoebel, PharmD Candidate
Your doctor prescribes medications to help you control the pain you are feeling. The drugs do their job, and the pain gradually stops. This doesn't prevent you from keeping the medicine though; after all, it was expensive, and who knows when you may need it again? This is a common scenario in many households, and a recent study published in Pediatrics: The Official Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics confirms a concern many health professionals share regarding household medication management. The common opinion is to keep medication up and out of sight of children, but is that enough? As parents know far too well, children are not limited to what they can reach from the floor. If they see mommy put that "candy" in the cabinet, they may just try to climb onto the counter and get it themselves. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) claims that more than 1.4 million emergency department visits were related to pharmaceuticals in 2011, and of the 41,340 drug overdose deaths in the United States, 22,810 (55%) were related to pharmaceuticals.1 Over 60,000 of these emergency department visits were for children six years or younger, and over 500,000 calls were made to poison control centers concerning these youngsters.2
Twelve specific active ingredients were found by the Pediatrics study that caused nearly half of the poisonings in the United States.2 Opioids (17.6%) and benzodiazepines (10.1%) top the chart as the classes of drugs with the highest number of poisonings. The twelve most common active ingredients of poisoning cases in children age six and under are listed in order of decreasing incidence:
- Buprenorphine (734 cases)
- Clonidine (701 cases)
- Glipizide (386 cases)
- Clonazepam (368 cases)
- Metoprolol (314 cases)
- Lorazepam (309 cases)
- Lisinopril (298 cases)
- Amlodipine (295 cases)
- Bupropion (265 cases)
- Glyburide (257 cases)
- Hydrocodone (252 cases)
- Oxycodone (249 cases)
The number of medication poisonings has continued to rise from 2004 to now3, a trend that is certainly reversible with diligence.
There are measures you can take to keep not only small children, but teenagers and adults alike safe from accidental medication poisoning. The first step is to make sure that all medications are kept in child-safe containers. Daily pill containers are convenient to remember medication use, but are often not child proof. Second, properly dispose of any and all out dated medications. Disposal of medications in the trash is not advised as they are still accessible to a curious child, or even the family pet. Contact your local pharmacist and ask about take back programs in your community.4 If there are no medication disposal programs available, there are three steps endorsed by the FDA for disposal in household trash. First, remove the medication from its original packaging and scratch out any personal information. This helps to protect your identity and sensitive health information. Second, make the medications unusable by mixing with inedible materials such as kitty litter, old coffee grounds, or sand. Lastly, put the mixture into sealable containers to prevent medication from falling out of the trash can.4
The most important change in preventing medication poisonings is to take your medications out of the medicine cabinet and keep them in a secure location. The best options are a lock box or a combination safe in a low traffic area of the house such as the bedroom closet. Ironically, the bathroom medicine cabinet is one of the least effective places to keep medications. Not only is it easy to access for children, but humidity from the bath or shower can damage the medications.5

Refurbished shipping containers are first images that come into mind upon hearing the term "movable cubicle." Therefore, getting these cubicles means ordering a shed-like container with corrugated exteriors. Nevertheless, some distributors offer ready-to-use cubicle offices, which means they have everything that clients require if they want to use them as offices.
Features found inside these offices include the following:
Heavy-duty exterior shell
As boxes used for shipping in the past, these portable cubicles come with rugged exterior that make them difficult to destroy. Their exteriors are constructed from 12-gauge up to 14-gauge stainless steel guarantee protection from various intruder-triggered abuses and other accidents. This feature alone is enough for clients to trust its features for extra content protection, which is also vital for offices.
Windows and doors
Portable containers don't have windows and doors before their transformation to storage and office spaces. Many movable cubicle distributors install windows and doors for humans. You'll find the term man door as you shop around for these containers. The reason is that these containers only have large doors to make loading and unloading contents easy. They changed the doors suitable for people.As for windows, they are installed to let light in and aid ventilation inside the new office.
Complete basic office essentials
Complete basic office essentials refer to tables and cabinets. Distributors install these essentials themselves to keep clients the effort of setting their offices themselves. Considering portable offices' profile, tables and cabinets are built-in and modular in design to save space. The number of tables and cabinets varies depending on the container's size.
Altered interior wall finishing
Interior wall finishing is also altered to make these portable offices more conducive for work setting. Wall finishing enhancements include placing a new walling solution to promote better interior design. Paint finishes are also improved because a movable cubicle's original finish was made of regular paint and probably limited to a primer.
Special flooring solutions
Offices require better flooring. Dealers install different flooring types meant for homes and offices like wood planks and floor tiles. Tiles may be regular vinyl and other special block tiles that depend on the distributors' preferred design.
Provisions for wiring systems, lighting and communication
Provisions in a movable cubicle are similar to those offered in regular properties. They are spaces or assigned spots for specific systems ready for future installation. In these offices, provisions include a space for air conditioning units, wiring systems, plumbing and many more. Some distributors even include these solutions ready for use. Clients simply need to hook them with their power sources and these essentials will start to work.
Installed HVAC systems
HVAC systems are important for offices, especially if they are placed at outdoor sites. Some dealers include a complete set of HVAC solutions in their cubicles and have them prepared in case clients will call for renting the portable offices. The good thing about the dealer setting HVAC systems is they install the right machines based on the container's size, assuring heating and cooling are maximized.
Installed insulation systems
Insulation system is important for these cubicles because of humidity and moisture. A good insulation system will prevent moisture accumulation inside portable offices, which is the reason of humidity that may cause damages inside the office. Insulation systems come in various choices, but the distributor installs the right fit for the container and guarantees proper function.
Companies offer movable cubicle offices because they know that many clients look into renting them out for temporary office setting. Not every company offer this solution and it's recommended to search properly for those who have them ready for rental. Check these details as well as their systems vary according to distributors' unique designs.

Adam Sandler Net Worth: Bio
Adam Sandler was a class clown in his school days. However, he never gave acting a thought until his brother suggested that he perform at a Boston Comedy Club when he was 17. He soon landed gigs and appeared on MTV show 'Remote Control', and later The Cosby Show.
The major breakthrough in his career came when Dennis Miller, a 'Saturday Night Live' cast member spotted him and got him cast on the New York-based show in 1990. He first began as a writer before acting in 1991 until 1995. On the show, he created characters like Opera Man, Canteen Boy, and Cajun Man and also composed a number of amusing songs.
His outstanding contributions to SNL prepared him for bigger roles that soon followed. He began commanding 7 figure paychecks per movie role. His firs post-SNL movie Billy Madison (1995) scored him a $1.7 million paycheck. The subsequent "Happy Gilmore" and "Bulletproof" both in 1996 earned him $2 million and $2.5 million respectively.

He owns a number of homes in California, Florida, and New York. His Bel Air mansion is worth $42.5 million. He also owns a home in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles. The house measures 13,000 square feet. He owns a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid.
Adam Sandler may be one of the most overpaid actors in Hollywood. However, he is talented and naturally fits in most of his roles. Despite having very successful movies and those that flopped on the other hand, he is one of the very few actors whose net worth is almost entirely from one source of income.

Hello, Milo!
My top 10 Checklist for Healthy Animal Behavior
The new year is here! Many people don't like this time of year because the days are short and cold. The nights are long and linger. I LOVE this time of year. Are you kidding me? The animals sleep longer and this gives me the few months I need each year to plan and construct for the longer days ahead. Take advantage of this time and plan how you are going to increase your animal's mind through enrichment and training. This is the time to build or plan those changes for the extended yard, the new enclosures, the aviaries! You better hurry, because this time won't last long.
I train, enrich, and modify behavior concerns of animals professionally and on a daily basis. These bullet points are always on my mind. They may not be common to all, but this is a checklist I run through on a weekly basis whether here at the center, with clients, or when I consult with zoos or other animal organizations. Read each bullet point carefully. Each one will make a major difference with the animals you live with, care for, or keep. Feel free to contact me with questions. Enjoy and put your thinking cap on!
1 – Are my animals used to change? Stress within the household or the area in which the animals live, is one of the first things I look for on a daily basis and probably one of the most important on my list of behaviors to keep in balance. Balance is key in caring for animals. Stress can come in many forms for our animals. Do I understand what they look like? A screaming parrot? A barking dog? A squealing pig? Do I know what each of these behaviors mean within changing environments? This is an area often misunderstood with many animal lovers. If these areas are not understood, or not given attention, then these can develop into more serious behaviors. More serious behaviors are preventable and it happens with understanding these signs of stress.
2 – Are my animals used to learning something new? If I had to give one piece of advice that I think is the most important, it would be this one. "Learning something new" can come in many forms. Sitting as the front door opens. Engaging with a new toy. Looking to you for what to do next. The list goes on. If you can keep the animal used to learning something new, the more they will stay used to change. The more they are used to change, the quicker they adapt. The quicker they can adapt, the less behavior issues are likely to develop.
3 – Are my animals confident and independent? The above two points will help emphasize this question.
Are they confident? What does that mean? Do they stay calm with changing environments? Are they independent? Do they get stressed when left alone? Separation anxiety is one of the toughest behavior concerns I have ever dealt with. Separation anxiety can be extremely stressful on the animal and the caretaker. One of the biggest cases of separation anxiety I've dealt with, now lives with me. That is Rocky, our Moluccan cockatoo. Separation anxiety is not uncommon in animals. Dogs break teeth when crated. Animals can scream, bark, and squeal for hours. Sweating, vomiting, and unexplained defecation can be common, yet misunderstood signs. Separation anxiety can be changed. Most times it has to be on a maintenance plan. If not monitored, it can rear its ugly head again causing havoc on the animal, the household, and anyone taking care of the animal. This is why it is extremely important to empower the animal through training, enrichment, and behavior change plans. You can build the animal's confidence in all of these areas. Do it!!!
4 – Am I proud of the behaviors I see in my animals when in the public eye? This isn't always a 'Yes' with me. Sometimes I have to see the undesired behavior to realize "This needs addressed". You can empower animals and build their confidence through training. I recently took Levi, our deaf dog to a pet store. It was just a quick trip to pick up a bag of treats. He walked loosely on the leash, did not bark at other dogs in the store, and sat when I asked him to sit. His body language looked comfortable and interested. He made me very proud. That was due to continued training, which is a great form of communication. I took Snow, our deaf and blind puppy out to deliver Christmas gifts with me today. I got her out of the Jeep to just stand while I was talking to a friend. She froze and wouldn't move. I put her back in the Jeep and said "We have work to do". Often times, I have to see the undesired behavior to know where I need to begin training and building the animal's confidence. No one likes to see scared animals. That is a sad sight to see. People like seeing empowered, confident animals, eager to engage with their immediate environment. That's a sign of a healthy companion or education animal.
5 – Do my animals engage with company? Do they bark, bite, grunt at the approach of someone new? These are signs of potential, future behavior issues. Do you see them? Most people will not take action in making sure these behaviors don't escalate to the next tier of concern until the behavior issue is severe and causing the animal to be separated. Don't wait for this to happen and save yourself a lot of preventable work.
6 – Will my animals turn away from me for the opportunity to engage in an enrichment item? I like it when I see an animal turn away from me to engage with an enrichment item. Studies show that if you are actually using positive reinforcement training, it is the animal's preferred form of enrichment. I agree and see this all of the time. This can cause the animal to get excited and focused on you each time you come home or walk into the room. This is the importance of balance. When I see an animal turn from my interaction with it to engage with a toy independently, I know I'm doing a great job at preventing an overly-dependent animal.
7 – How strong is my line of communication with each animal? I train using positive reinforcement training and applications in behavior analysis because it is the strongest form of communication I have found with any animal, and I train a lot of animals. I train animals that could do serious bodily harm to me and whom are extremely fearful, but not limited to. I need my line of communication with them to be strong, especially if I am working in close proximity with them. I also work with several that live in peoples' homes. When I ask an animal to do something, I always pay attention to how quick they do it. If they hesitate or don't do it at all, my line of communication with them is not strong or as strong as it could be. When I am training an animal, I am building a relationship with that animal. Our training will make our relationship skyrocket in its potential. This is a feeling I love for me and especially for the animal, because it empowers them.
8 – Are my animals eager to engage with me? When I sit on the floor or walk in close proximity, I watch to see if they run or fly to me. If they do, I know I am doing a great job at being my animal's "Deliverer of Awesomeness". Seriously, if you are using these forms of interaction with the animals in your care, they want to be with you. Many times in the beginning stages of training, I have to use treats, but over time, the association of fun, play, treats, and attention are continuously associated with me making the animal wanting to be near or with me. Soon, the opportunity to be with me or engaging with me becomes the reinforcer of high value.
9 – Are my animals bored? Am I seeing my animals lying around a lot or perched and not interacting with their
environment? Are there toys lying around but not being interacted with? Are my birds spending 25% of their day preening or just perched there? These are indicators to me that I may need to begin switching things up a bit. Is their environment unchanging and predictable? Yea, they are probably getting bored. The beginning stages of observing boredom can prevent undesired behaviors from developing. Empowered animals seem to really enjoy and benefit from changing enclosures, enrichment, and routines. We try not to get stuck in routines around here because when those routines are broken, they can cause stress. When incorporating change, we make sure the animal is used to bullet point #1; are they used to change?
10 – Are we happy together? Define happy? Do I enjoy living with or interacting with this animal every day? Does the animal show it wants to engage with me? Do I have the time to provide this animal what it needs? Am I in this for the animal, not just for me? This animal's future depends on this. If I have an unhappy animal, I have an animal probably beginning to display behavior concerns. If behavior concerns are not addressed, its a pretty sure bet that I'm not going to be happy nor are the others in the household. Undesired behaviors serve a purpose for that animal. Those behaviors are signs and communicators for the animal. Are we able to read them? If that animal can see, hear or smell you, you are training it. The key question is, "What are you training it?"
Keep this checklist tucked away for easy reference. Each check point can have major impact on the lives you live with the animals in your house or those you care for. Share it with someone you think may benefit from reading it. If you are interested in accomplishing this checklist weekly, take a look at enrolling in our Projects or Memberships; our fun and interactive live-streaming groups on animal behavior, training, and enrichment. Feel free to contact me with questions.
My Concern With Using Force With Any Animal
As a professional animal trainer and educator using approaches in Applied Behavior Analysis with any animal, I share many concerns in using force and coercion with any animal. I train a lot of zoo animals. Many of these animals could easily cause harm, whether intentional or unintentional.
The point is not that force and coercion work or not. They do or they would not exist. There are side effects to using them. Here I explain my concerns addressing the pig community and a method called Move The Pig that is being promoted. Move The Pig is when a person walks up and pushes a pig with their leg for no other reason but to show them who is in charge. Will it work? That seems like such an unclear line of communication. I receive so many e-mails for consultations from people now saying their pig charges them when they get near them. Sure they do. They don't understand why or when your foot may be coming near them to force them to move and for what reason? They don't understand the contingency! I would highly advise giving the MTP serious consideration before implementing it. It isn't needed. There are other methods more effective for developing a clear line of communication with the pigs in your care.
Our live-stream pig training classes will begin next week. See our website and join our e-mail newsletter list to be notified.
Dr. Karen Becker Gives Advice On Fearful Pets At The Vet's Office
Fearful pets are animals that need attention addressed to their behavior. The behavior serves a purpose for that animal and if you don't pay attention to you, you may likely reinforce another undesired behavior. Karen Becker recently wrote an article on "What Your Vet Should Never Do If Your Pet Is Fearful". A fearful animal can become a dangerous animal if its behaviors are not respected.
I work with a lot of undomesticated animals. A fearful animal can be a very dangerous animal. So how do we deal with this? In this article you will read her advice and her approach. Dr. Becker also shares a few training videos with different animals I work with and shows how I prepare an animal for a vet visit and veterinary exam. Click on the link above to read her article.
As a future veterinary behaviorist, I aspire to reach Lara's level of finesse, expertise, and thoughtfulness in every aspect of animal training and husbandry. She is truly in it for the animals."

If you are a Kentucky football fan, you either know Freddie Maggard or know about him. The former University of Kentucky quarterback has become a popular football media analyst for Kentucky Sports Radio, the UK Radio Network and others since his retirement from the National Guard.
Most of us regard Freddie as one of the nicest, most caring people we have ever been around. However, his sister -- Samantha Burton of Corbin -- says her brother has his moments just like anyone else.
No University of Kentucky basketball fan would be shocked that Scott Padgett's son is a potential college basketball player. However, Logan Padgett might also have a future in football that could turn out to be better than basketball.
Scott Padgett was on UK's 1998 national championship team and is now the head coach at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama. Logan is a 6-6 receiver on the Homewood High School football team and power forward on the basketball team.

During my time as the news director for WOKH-FM and WLSK-FM, I spent a lot of time talking to former Bardstown police officer Tom Roby.
But not all of it was about news items.
We also talked about everything golf.
Tom told me that he charted every round of golf that he played, including keeping statistics on his performance.
The old saying about photos is that "a picture is worth a thousand words." In a signal photo, a moment is frozen in time, forever entrenched as a memory that all can enjoy and reflect on. A photo allows us to remember an amazing or memorable moment in our lives, from a wedding to a pet, or anything! A photo brings up so many memories and emotions of the event from which the image came.
Which game on the Kentucky football schedule should be considered the key game to UK's success this year?
That's the question I posed to various media members who cover Kentucky football on a daily basis to give you an idea what they were thinking as the Cats prepare to open play Saturday night against Southern Mississippi.
Here's what the media members had to say.
By Dennis George
Golf columnist
For the past six decades, 78-year-old Don Wood has been a fixture in Kentucky golf circles.
The easygoing gentleman is well known to golfers in the area.
Since 1961, he's made the trip to Bardstown nearly every Sunday during the golf season to play golf with the likes of John Prewitt, Randall Burba, Haydon Spalding, Tommie Hurst and others.
In sports, there have been many times where a team was so close to victory that many had already proclaimed dishearteningly or joyfully, "The game is over!" After all, only one yard separated this team from the end zone or a team held a two-point lead with only a second or two left. The odds were stacked in their favor and they were prepared to take the lead. It was all going right and then, well, it all changed in the blink of an eye.
