ADC Employees Assist War Effort
As military operations are
underway in Iraq, approximately 132
employees of the Arizona Department
of Corrections have left their posts at
the Department to serve our nation as
members of the U.S. National Guard
or Reserves.
"From an administrative standpoint
the loss of our staff due to military
commitment makes a difficult staffing
situation worse. As a retired military
member, I understand the necessity
of military intervention and I am
extremely proud of staff who
volunteer their time to serve in
our Armed Forces for our great
country. I salute them for their
courage and dedication," ADW
Tom Forwith, ASPC-Lewis,
Morey Unit.

all complexes have been

New Hiring Bonus In Effect
A hiring bonus and retention
program has been implemented at
the Arizona State Prison Complex-
Florence, ASPC-Eyman and ASPC-Lewis.
The program will affect
Correctional Officers II, Sergeants
and Lieutenants as follows:
n A hiring bonus $5,160,
which obligates newly hired CO IIs
assigned to the affected complexes
to remain there for two years.
n An equitable increase to
incumbent CO IIs, Sergeants and
Lieutenants at these facilities of
$100 per pay period. Additionally,
CO IIs, Sergeants or Lieutenants
transferring to Florence, Eyman or
Lewis will receive the $100 per pay
period increase. Those individuals at
ASPC-Lewis who are already
receiving $100 per pay period will
continue to receive this benefit under
this new incentive program.
"It is our belief that this program
will assist in resolving our issues with
vacancies at these three prison
complexes, thereby, enhancing and
increasing staff safety and security.
It is important to realize that this
program is funded through the end of
this fiscal year with vacancy savings.
We are avidly pursuing funding for
the program through the Legislature
to continue the program in fiscal year
2004,"said Acting Director Charles L.

A letter I recently received from a CO III who works at the Eyman Complex makes it very
clear to me how employees, other than those in the security series, feel about the $5,160 hiring
bonus and $100 per pay period retention program that has just been re-established for the
Eyman, Florence and Lewis complexes.
The letter points out that due to shortages of officers, sergeants and lieutenants, program officers are the first to fill
in. It states that when there is an IMS, program officers respond and are fully involved, that they are required to work
20% of their week in security positions when staffing levels fall, participate in shakedowns, be on the mandatory
overtime list, and do everything officers, sergeants and lieutenants do. The bottom line of the letter - programs staff at
Eyman, Florence, and Lewis are equally deserving of the extra money.
I agree. Every single point in this CO III's letter is valid. The fact is, I would like very much to make this a more
equitable situation for everyone, but right now I can't, nor can the Arizona Legislature, the Governor and all the powers
that be in the State of Arizona. You know the reason - not enough money.
I can only urge the CO III who wrote the letter and every program officer, Captain, or any other employee at Eyman,
Florence or Lewis who justifiably feels the same, that you bear with us in the struggle to deal with an inmate
overpopulation crisis of record proportions, a lack of prison bed space to house them, and the critical need for security
staff at those three prisons to watch over them. This year we have crossed the 30,000 inmate threshold and the
population has been growing over the past three months at an average of 235 - double the legislatively appropriated
growth rate of 118 for the same period.
Simultaneously, we are experiencing extreme CO II vacancy rates that have been compounded by the war in Iraq and
the Homeland Security deployment of the National Guard. The vacancy rate is more than 31% at Lewis and more than
26% for Eyman and Florence. The hiring bonus and retention stipends are based on evidence that the same program
proved very successful at ASPC-Lewis during FY 2001. An operational vacancy rate at Lewis of nearly 50% in
December, 2000 dropped to zero by July, 2001.
Speaking of Lewis prison and these overcrowding and CO II vacancy issues, there are 350 beds at the Rast Unit that
have remained unoccupied due to the Department's inability to attract and retain security staff. The prompt
implementation of the hiring bonus and stipend program will aid in our ability to get the desperately needed Rast beds
Looking beyond the need to open Rast, there is another vitally important reason for the hiring bonus and retention
pay. It is the interest of the public safety and the safety and welfare of our employees. While I cannot minimize the
need for equitable pay for program officers who rightfully deserve it, I also cannot minimize my concern for everyone's
safety in the midst of unprecedented inmate overcrowding.
To the Eyman CO III who wrote the letter as well as all program series officers and employees who are not eligible
for the bonus and retention money, you have my support and encouragement. I sincerely hope the information I have
provided you will help you understand the difficult times we are in. I can assure you, other positions have not been
forgotten. The Department will continue to strive for salary increases for other classifications, even in light of the tough
state budget situation.
October 26, 2000, is a date that forever
changed the life of an ADC employee.
Correctional Officer Anita Baca was
supervising inmates at the Arizona
Correctional Industries Sign Shop in
Tucson, when she was attacked from
behind by an inmate and threatened with
a 12-inch shank held to her throat. The
inmate and two others were planning to
Eventually, two other inmates in the
Sign Shop overpowered Inmate Bailey
after the weapon was taken from him by
fellow ADC employee Patricia Yanez.
Inmates not involved in the escape
attempt freed Officer Baca. Still
handcuffed, she managed to dial Tucson
Control for help. Staff arrived and
secured the three inmates.
After the incident, staff members were
immediately contacted by members of the
Tucson Critical Incident Stress
Debriefing (CISD)Team. Regina
Martinez, Dr. Chuck O'Hara, and former
CISD member Maggie Goward were
instrumental in defusing and debriefing
both staff members. Affected staff were
provided with information on the signs

CISD Team Members
and symptoms of stress that may appear
within several days of a traumatic
incident, as well as effective ways in
dealing with the stress reaction. CISD
Members also provided information on
referral services, and then continued
follow-up care.
Ms. Baca told CISD Team Members at
the November 2002 Quarterly Meeting
that she knows now that CISD
intervention made a difference in her life.
She didn't think she needed any services
at the time and thought she would be
fine. However, she quickly realized that
the information supplied by Regina was
helpful when the shock wore off a few
days later, and the realization of what had
occurred set in. She knew then that CISD
intervention was important and she was
appreciative that Regina continued to
follow up with her to provide emotional
For her bravery, professionalism, and
decisive action, Ms. Baca was awarded
the Medal of Valor, the Department's
highest honor, in December 2000. She is
currently employed as a CO III at the
Lewis Prison Complex.
Last January, my husband, Captain Phillip Elliott and I received a phone call from Fort Grant's Swing Shift Commander
because of his concern that Sgt. Susan Wright had not reported to work. Shortly thereafter, Major Walt Woolsey
phoned expressing the same concern.
Needless to say, we made plans to look for her with teams of employees helping us. My husband and I got the space
blanket, some coffee and flashlights, not knowing what condition we would find Susan in.
While driving on highway 266, my husband and I were drawn to an area where a lot of accidents have occurred. We
found Susan but her condition was not good.
I knew her husband, Lt Robert Wright, and the other team were just up the road, so I went to call for help. This had to
be one of the worst days that I can remember. Susan was not responding. I stayed with Robert throughout the entire
ordeal, while ambulances, police, and other ADC staff arrived.
I never knew exactly what CISD was about, until that day. I found so much comfort in their kind words, and especially
their presence. During a difficult time, I found the CISD team to have so much strength, even knowing that one of their
co-workers had just lost her life. I realize that words will never be able to express just how grateful I am to CISD. I hope
that this program will always be around, as I feel that these people were able to help me throughout one of the most
difficult times in my life.
Thanks to the Department of Corrections for supporting this program, and especially to the CISD members for their
dedication. I would also like to send a special thanks to ASPC-Tucson for allowing Dr. O'Hara and COII Rigby to
facilitate a first responders debriefing.

"It's been OK. I've been able to
talk with him every day but when
he's gone (overseas), I don't
know," Shannon Masters said of
her husband COII Michael Masters
of the Arizona Army National
Guard. Michael, an ASPC-Eyman
officer, was called out to active
duty in February.
Two days after she was
interviewed, her husband left Fort
Bliss, Texas for Iraq. She has since
stopped watching CNN reports.
"With what is happening to
some POWs, I don't want to watch
it," said Mrs. Masters.
Michael is in the military police unit
as a staff sergeant for the National
Guard. He has been in the military for
13 years and received his Title 10
papers from the office of the President
last month. His papers stated he will be
on full, active duty for a year.
"Michael has been interested in the
military his whole life; since he was a
little kid," said Shannon. "That's one
of the reasons I fell in love with him."
The couple have been married almost
11 years and have two daughters.
Since Sept. 11, 2001, Michael has
been deployed several times. On Sept.
12, his unit was called out to secure
military bases around the state,
including the Papago Base in Phoenix.
He also conducted airport security
training at Sky Harbor International
He was part of the security unit at
the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City,
Utah, and patrolled around the Show
Low area during the Rodeo/Chedeski
fires last summer.
"With all of the law enforcement
background in his unit, the 855th
Military Police Company is one of the
most highly deployed units in the
country," said Shannon.
Michael has been with ADC for
approximately seven years and
currently is a firearms instructor.
He is a sniper for the National Guard
and has competed in the national sniper
competition at Winston P. Wilson in
Little Rock, Ark. The team of two, COII
Lee Tsosie of ASPC-Florence, and
Masters, took first in the state and
fourth in the country in 2001. Michael
took first in 2002 for individual sniping.
Law enforcement agencies of all types
participate in the competition, including
military, police and corrections.
People ask Shannon what she is
going to do now that he's in full time.
"What do you mean, what am I
gonna do? I'm gonna deal with it," she
firmly states.
Shannon draws strength from her
husband's unit's Family Readiness
Group. She said each military unit has
one and encourages family members
and friends of those in the military to
seek out their respective group.

A Wife's Perspective
An inmate barber shaves the head of a newly
arrived inmate
A view of Alhambra's reception intake. This is where nearly all ADC
inmates are processed.
Speeding up Reception: Getting Inmates A faster- paced environment;
enhanced attention to detail; longer
work days; increased overtime and an
understaffed unit.
The inmate population explosion in
Arizona is creating new challenges for
Arizona Department of Correction
employees at Arizona State Prison
Complex-Phoenix's Alhambra Unit,
the Department's reception intake
center responsible for processing
newly arrived inmates and parole
In 20 days in February, ADC
received 1,168 inmates from county
jails throughout Arizona, an average of
58.4 inmates a day. Since January 1,
ADC has received an average of 1,150
inmates a month.
"With the increase in the inmate
population, we don't have any margin
of error. Staff needs to make sure the
right inmate is at the right place at the
right time. Our security and medical
professionals need to work at a fast
pace and pay close attention to detail.
Staff can't risk the safety of inmates
and other staff members," said
Karolyn McConnell, deputy warden of
Alhambra" Any small snag or complex
shut down can throw off a whole day
and result in staff working overtime."
According to Rick Ward, a deputy
warden of operations, the heavy flow
of inmates into our prison system
and limited bed space, has prompted
the Department to reduce the number
of days general population inmates
spend at Alhambra from an average
of 10 work days to five work days.
"The unit has the capacity of
holding a total 336 designated and
temporary inmates. So if we receive
70 inmates on a given day, we must
make sure we ship out 70 inmates to
our state prisons," said Ward.
The exceptions to the rule are high
profile, death row, STG and other
protective segregation inmates.
"If we know we have a gang
member or a protective segregation
inmate, we process him separately
and ship him to SMUII within a day,
death row inmates are sent directly
to SMU II," said Special Investigator
Brandon Keomaka. "Once inmates
arrive, I look for any inmate who
may be affiliated with any prison or
street gangs. If I detect a gang tattoo
or suspect an inmate belongs to a
gang, I will interview him," said
At 6:30 a.m., inmates begin
arriving from county jail throughout
Arizona. As the inmates are unloaded
in the Alhambra sallyport, Keomaka
and other ADC staff are there to greet
them. In the sallyport the verification
and classification of inmates begin. All
inmates who arrive to Alhambra must
have accompanying court papers and
files. It's up to staff to ensure the
paperwork matches the individual.
Inmates are then given a number, not
an ADC inmate number, and put into a
holding cell. In small groups they are
called out of the holding cell to be
During processing, inmates are
strip searched, shaven, fingerprinted,
"With the increase in the
inmate population, we don't
have any margin of error.
Staff needs to make sure the
right inmate is at the right
place at the right time," said
Karolyn McConnell, deputy
warden of Alhambra.
During the reception process, Licensed Practical Nurse Sam Owens asks an inmate a
variety of medical questions
Inmates In and Out in Five Work Days
photographed, interviewed,
administered psychological
evaluations, given identification
badges and clothed in ADC orange
jump suits.
After those procedures, inmate
papers are verified.
"I check all documents, make
sure all names are spelled right and
certified," said Angie Posadas of
Complex Records. "It's critical the
initial verification and information on
inmates is accurate."
Also, Maricopa County inmates,
the only inmates who bring property
to Alhambra, must check in any
property. County prison wear and
restraints are returned to the
respective county.
Following the initial processing
stage, inmates are put into a holding
cell and wait to be called to go to
medical. At medical, mental health
and nursing assessments are
performed; vital signs such as vision,
urine tests and routine labs are
conducted and, if mandated by law,
a DNA test is required. In January
2004, all inmates coming into
Alhambra will be required to take a
DNA test.
Also, inmates will meet with a
medical provider who will give them a
complete physical and, if needed, set
up a treatment plan for the inmate.
"After all these tests are done, each
inmate will be given two scores a
mental health score and medical
score. These scores along with the
inmate's public and institutional risk
scores make up the inmate's
classification and determine how the
inmate will be housed," said ASPC-Phoenix
Facility Health Administrator
Larry Clauson.
"The unit has the
capacity of holding 336
inmates. So if we receive
70 inmates on a given
day, we must make sure
we ship out 70 inmates
to our state prisons,"
said Ward.

First Substance Abuse Class Graduates
Recently, the first class of 14 female
inmates graduated from the Women in
Recovery program at ASPC-Perryville's
San Pedro Unit.
Women in Recovery, funded and
operated by federal grant dollars, is the
first formal substance abuse program
conducted solely by the Arizona
Department of Corrections. Typically
substance abuse programs for Arizona
Department of Corrections inmates are
contracted through outside vendors.
According to ASPC-Perryville
Warden Mary Hennessy, the program is
a step in the right direction in reducing
recidivism among female inmates with
substance abuse problems.
"The revolving door is expensive for
offenders and the community," said
Hennessy. "Conquering a substance
abuse problem is a process. Women in
Recovery is a great
beginning for inmates
but they need to
continue down the right
Women in Recovery
is a new approach to
treating addiction within
ADC because it places
special emphasis on
reentry and family
reunification during and
after treatment. It is
based on a Stages of
Change model
recognizing the
participant's awareness,
motivation, and readiness to take
positive action. The program
consists of four phases, each

Employee Suggestions Lead to New DIs
The creation of Director Instructions
200 and 206 are an example of how
determined Acting Director Ryan is at
establishing two-way communication
and building strong relationships with
Arizona Department of Corrections
The two new DIs, created based on
employee input, present a more even-handed
approach to managing Sick
Leave Use as well as enhancing
partnerships with Employee
"With these two new DIs, ADC is
taking a more proactive approach rather
than a reactive approach. We need to
listen to employees, hear their concerns
and address small issues before they
become big problems. Being responsive
and keeping continual dialogue with
employees open is a big part of this
responsibility," said Charles L. Ryan.
"Yes, this is extra work. But the
employees are well worth the effort and
everybody wins."
Director's Instruction 200 on Sick
Leave Use focuses on a more consistent
method for counseling employees on
the use of their sick leave. The
Instruction establishes reasonable
criteria that may warrant placing the
employee in a Chronic Absence
Classification. The Instruction outlines
what is considered unacceptable
patterns that would necessitate
coaching that employee on improving
their attendance. Supervisors are
asked to identify and monitor
inappropriate use of sick leave and
then to help the employee improve their
record of absence.
"Fostering improved communication
between supervisors and their
employees focuses on prevention. This
attention to prevention will improve
communication between the employee
and the supervisor, and hopefully
prevent problems down the road," said
DI 206 on Employee Organizations, a
re-establishment of DI 176, is intended
to cultivate professional relationships
with employee organizations that
maintain such goals as promoting
correctional safety, enhancing the
professional image of corrections and
fostering intra and interagency relations.
The DI details the structure and extent
of conducting employee meetings and
the ability to use on-duty time as part of
a recognized employee meeting. There is
also information included in DI 206 that
provides guidance on allowing formally
recognized employee organizations to
recruit new members at the Correctional
Officer Training Academy and
department-wide institutions.
"All too often communication is top
down. Fostering a better relationship
with employee representatives elected by
employees gives them a seat at the table,
and allows their voices to be heard," said
Tenney. "Only time will tell if the
message is received, but we are off to
excellent start."
The new DIs are available on the
Department's Internet and Intranet
Website, or contact your local personnel
representative for more information.

inmates closer to their young
The Arizona Department of
Corrections has joined forces with
the Cactus Pine Girl Scouts Troop
to offer a program entitled Girl
Scouts Beyond Bars. This is a bi-weekly
program offered to inmate
mothers and daughters between the
ages of five and 13 years old. In the
program, the children and their
mothers participate in crafts, and
other planned troop projects. The
program consists of positive
parenting skills, helping daughters
earn Girl Scout badges and
reconnecting incarcerated mothers
with their daughters.
The eligibility requirements for
inmate participation in the program
include: completed mandatory
education, no major disciplinary
violations within the last 6 months,
no convictions or crimes against
children and concurrent enrollment
in the Rio Salado Community
College Parenting class.

Agency Efficiency Report Submitted
ADC has completed the first phase
of participation in the Governor's
Efficiency Review Initiative by
submitting its preliminary report.
ADC's submission, along with
reports from the other pilot agencies
and the statewide "steering
committee," was presented to Co-
Chief of Staff Dennis Burke on April
1 by Efficiency Initiative Executive
Director Peter Francis.
First phase requirement of the
process was to select ideas to be
implemented before June 30. From
the many suggestions received, a total
of 21 ideas were identified that were
determined to be viable and that would
result in operational efficiencies and
cost savings.
Jeff Hood, ADC's Efficiency
Review Coordinator said, "A great
deal of work remains to be done. The
ideas selected for inclusion in the
preliminary report were simply those
that could be put into place the
quickest. There are many, many other
great ideas submitted by our
employees that bear strong
consideration. We will continue to
examine and research those ideas,
eventually adding to the list of
suggestions to implement."
Progress toward implementation

Employees on the
Citizens Meet with ADC Officials
Where to house homeless sex
offenders who have been released
from prison is not an easy job for the
Community Corrections Division,
especially when no one wants them in
their backyard.
Recently, at a meeting at Desert
View High School in Tucson, Larry
Spurgeon, Community Corrections
Bureau Administrator, Jess Medrano,
Parole Manager, Fred Gust, Tucson
Parole Supervisor, George Weisz,
Criminal Justice Advisor and Jan
Lesher representing Governor Janet
Napolitano's office were confronted
by a group of citizens concerned about
the community supervision practices
of the Arizona Department of
Corrections and other Arizona Law
enforcement agencies.
According to Spurgeon, most of the
public's concern involved the
placement of the number of sex
offenders at a Benson Highway motel
in Tucson. The people living near the
motel felt law enforcement agencies
should notify residents of
released sex offenders in a more
effective manner and restrict
"clustering" of sex offenders in a
single location or zip code.
During a heated discussion
session, Department and other
government officials were able to
clear up the misconceptions that
"nothing is being done and no
one cares."
In fact, ADC and the
Governor's office representatives
outlined a number of steps in
place that ensure information
regarding issues related to sex
offenders is distributed to the
appropriate people. One of the latest
developments in community
supervision is the implementation of
the Sex Crime Analysis Network
(SCAN) in which the Governor
fostered a more effective method
utilizing a partnership between
Department of Public Safety, Federal
Bureau of Investigations, Attorney
General's Office and county and local
law enforcement agencies to
investigate and track down
perpetrators of sex crimes.
ADC, the Governor's Office and
other law enforcement agencies are
meeting the public, listening to their
concerns and continuing efforts to
protect the citizens and children of
Larry Spurgeon addresses audience, along with other law
enforcement representatives
From the Mailbag
Dear Jan, George, Larry and Val,
Marla and I wanted to express our deep and sincere thanks for the help and attention you have given us regarding the placement
of sex offenders. Thank you for taking time away from your families to meet
with us and our neighborhood on Monday, March 17th. The topic of sex
offender placement is a highly charged issue, but even though emotions
ran high, and often against your agencies, you and your representatives
were nothing but fair, professional and caring.
It is clear from your presentations that this is an issue that you have
been wrestling with and making positive changes about for quite some
time. I am amazed to see how many changes have come about just
because you were made aware of the problems with the group facility
on Benson Highway. These changes have come about in just about
two months.
We don't agree with the tone that others are taking with the issue or the direction in which they are going. We will no longer be working
with them. We would however like to continue working with all of you towards a positive solution for all in this matter. Please feel free
to call on us at any time.
Kevin & Marla Wallace

Carmen Van Kerckhove to talk about Recognizing Racial Stereotypes and Their Impact on the Workplace during the campuss Conversation on Race discussion series today.
January 23, 2009
DEARBORN / Jan. 23---Carmen Van Kerckhove, co-founder and president of the diversity education firm New Demographic, will visit campus today to talk about Recognizing Racial Stereotypes and Their Impact on the Workplace during the campuss Conversation on Race discussion series.
The event, which is free and open to the public, will take place from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the University Centers Kochoff Hall, located off of the campuss Richard Drive.
Kerckhove publishes Racialicious, an award-winning blog about race and pop culture. Time Out New York magazine has lauded Racialicious for its savvy, clearheaded commentary. Anti-racist educator Tim Wise, a previous Conversation on Race speaker, calls the blog one of only a few places I turn to for cutting-edge and up-to-date info on race trends.
Kerckhove is a regular commentator on National Public Radio who also writes for CNN.coms Anderson Cooper 360 blog and the Society of Human Resource Management.
UM-Dearborns A Conversation on Race series is held each semester to promote open, honest discussion about racial issues, featuring a guest speaker or presentation followed by large- and small-group discussion.
We seek to explain our experiences with race and validate the experiences of others as we develop personal and institutional strategies to combat racism in all its forms, according to Cory Anderson, student activities supervisor at UM-Dearborn.
The event is sponsored by UM-Dearborns Student Activities Office and New Detroit, a coalition of Detroit-area leaders who focus on the issue of race relations and economic and social equity.
For more information, visit http://sao.umd.umich.edu/sao_conversation_on_race/ or call 313-593-5390.

Recently, the FDA released several "guidance documents" that have established their current and future policy regarding the use of antimicrobial drugs in food-producing animals.
Of particular importance to FDA is phasing out the production uses of these drugs in food animals and phasing in veterinary oversight. In dairy cattle, we do not use these drugs as frequently as the beef, poultry and swine industry due to the fact there is no labeled indication for these products in lactating cows. The main production or feed efficiency product we use in dairy cattle is Rumensin (monensin), and this class of drugs is exempted from the FDA guideline.
Why are these issues important to dairy veterinarians and producers?
There are some products we use in dairy replacement heifers, such as tetracycline in the feed to treat or prevent pneumonia, that will in the future require veterinary oversight. It is also important for producers to realize that it is likely these FDA policies will shift to injectable antibiotics, as well, meaning a loss of "over the counter" status. Finally, FDA has repeatedly stated that the No. 1 common factor in violative residues in marketed dairy cattle is a lack of a valid veterinary-clientpatient relationship.
The food animal industry is being scrutinized and unfairly blamed for antibiotic resistance in people. We all know there is antibiotic resistance in food animals and in people. The exact mechanisms are unclear. However, the food animal agriculture industry is under attack for unregulated and unsupervised use of antibiotics. It is my opinion that the industry either needs to embrace and accept veterinary oversight of drug use on their operations or eventually we will have more and more regulations with fewer and fewer products to treat and manage disease on our farms.
How will I get antibiotics for feed for my heifers if needed?
You will still be able to acquire these products; however, you will no longer be able to purchase them without a veterinary "prescription." The FDA is only applying these guidelines to those antibiotics of importance to humans, such as sulfas, penicillins, and tetracylines. The "prescription" is called a Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD). The VFD process is currently undergoing changes to make it more "user- friendly." So, sometime in the next three years, if your nutritionist wants to have these products mixed into the feed, you will probably need to contact your veterinarian for a VFD.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Music Hall MMF-2.2 by Dave Bar Unwind with warm analog soundIf you've never experienced the warm and natural sound that vinyl is famous for, the MMF-2.2 is a great place to start. This solidly built Music Hall turntable makes an excellent choice for seasoned audiophiles and vinyl newcomers alike who want to get outstanding sound quality without spending a fortune. Music Hall's minimalist design philosophy focuses on the features that benefit sonic performance — no unnecessary bells and whistles here. With its simple, elegant appearance and high-gloss piano black lacquer finish, this table will look and sound fantastic atop your audio rack.High-quality construction for top-notch performanceThe MMF-2.2's sturdy MDF chassis rests on vibration damping rubber feet that provide a solid, low-resonance foundation. Its heavy steel alloy platter spins on a high-precision stainless steel and bronze bearing assembly for excellent speed stability and smooth, silent rotation. The motor mount and belt drive system effectively isolate the motor's vibration from the chassis to prevent noise from being transferred to the cartridge. An external AC power supply helps further reduce any traces of interference or hum. Finally, the table's rigid, one-piece aluminum alloy tonearm provides superb tracking ability to faithfully follow the grooves of your albums, and includes a silicone-damped lift for gently raising and lowering the arm — protecting both the stylus and your records. Quick and easy to assembleMusic Hall knows that turntable setup can be a challenge for the novice. That's why the MMF-2.2 comes out of the box virtually ready to play. Its pre-matched, factory-mounted phono cartridge and tonearm take the guesswork out of installation, and give you optimized sound quality with minimal effort. A few simple steps to dial in key settings like tracking force, anti-skating, and platter speed are all it takes to get this player primed and ready to deliver spacious, detailed music.

Written By MikeM, Palm Harbor, FL on Monday, February 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) When I first received a my Music Hall MMF-2.2 turntable, it had a serious hum in the right channel. After making sure the problem was not caused by improper set up or a faulty ground I called Crutchfield support and was quickly shipped a product and given a return authorization for the defective unit. When the second unit arrived it set up perfectly and I was playing my old vinyl from the 70s in no time. Problems will arise from time to time, but Crutchfield did a fine job of making sure I was satisfied in a timely manner. Pros: Great Service! Beautiful sounding product.

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Music Hall MMF 2.2 Written By CEngle, Canfield Ohio on Wednesday, January 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am 53 and became an ardent classic rock listener in the mid 70's. Vinyl records were my favorite medium and amassed a large record collection. I contiuned listening to vinyl throught the 80"s up until the advent of CDs. I was reluctant to switch to CD, but like most people I was intriqued with something new. So I turned to CDs, sold my turntable at a garage sale and gave away all my records. Thankfully, I did keep my Sansui stereo receiver. About five years ago, while visiting a local CD store, I noticed used vinyl records for sale. I looked through the records for sale and began to reminiace. At that point, I thought how great it would be to start listening and collecting albums. I still had my receiver but I needed a turnatable so I bought an inexpensive turntable and began collecting records. As my records collection began to grow, I decided to upgrade my turntable. After reviewing as much information available, I decided to purchase the MMF 2.2 because it fit my price range and was supposed to have quality sound The MMF 2.2 was easy to setup and took about 30 minutes after carefully following the user's maunal. After completing the setup, my first impression before playing a record was Music Hall's "minimalist design philosphy" was accurate. This is a basic turntable with no frills. The sound quality of this turntable is amazing. The sound was crisp and clear. I played the song "Royal Scam" by Stealy Dan and could hear every instrument. Clearly amazing.

City Council vows to fight airport de-annexation
SALISBURY — City Council vowed Tuesday night to fight the de-annexation of the Rowan County Airport, saying the attempt by county commissioners to take back the property does not pass muster.
After county commissioners dominated a recent meeting with state lawmakers where City Council made a pitch to keep the airport, council members came to Tuesday's meeting armed with facts, figures and stronger statements.
Mayor Paul Woodson said county commissioners were wrong and unfair in their characterization of the city's 2004 annexation of the airport, specifically the claim that the city cherry-picked only airport property that generated revenue.
The city attempted to annex the entire airport region but could not, Woodson said. Among the 218 parcels the city annexed, 157 were residential, including mobile home parks, he said.
"Seventy-two percent of everything we annexed was residential," Woodson said.
The county's claim that the city hasn't contributed to the development of the airport was "very unfair," he said. The city abided all state laws when it annexed the property, Woodson said.
"We followed every rule," he said.
Councilwoman Karen Alexander said the city ran water and sewer lines to the area to serve residents. Many housing developments near the airport needed services, particularly sewer service, to avoid public safety and health concerns, City Manager Doug Paris said.
The city ran utility lines in 1997, long before the 2004 annexation, Alexander said, including water-sewer extensions to airport hangars and the National Guard at a cost of $372,000 to the city.
Following the annexation, the city extended water-sewer lines that benefitted the entire area at a cost of $4 million, she said.
Although Salisbury did generate property tax revenue with the annexation, the city "also expended much more than that" in utility costs, Alexander said.
Councilman Brian Miller said the history of the airport, which the city featured in its pitch to state lawmakers last week, isn't what matters as Salisbury fights to keep the property in the city limits.
"What matters is the future of the airport and the tax base that can be created there," Miller said.
Now that North Carolina has banned involuntary annexation, cities have few options to expand boundaries, he said.
"I don't want to give up any area that's already inside the city limits," Miller said.
De-annexations must pass two litmus tests in the state legislature, Miller said, and the airport de-annexation doesn't pass either one.
First, the city annexed the airport property years before the General Assembly banned such action, Miller said. Successful de-annex attempts happen because an annexation takes place within a short period before a moratorium, he said.
Second, the city extended water and sewer lines to the airport region, Miller said. De-annexation can occur when a city fails to extend services to a newly annexed neighborhood, he said.
"In both cases, we pass the litmus test," Miller said.
The county's attempt to take back the airport does not qualify for de-annexation by the legislature, he said. It also would set a precedent that would prove difficult, Miller added.
"If they take this as an opportunity to de-annex, they are going to open a can of worms for many other municipalities across our state," he said.
Miller said he hopes state lawmakers will see the de-annexation effort "for what it is." He didn't go into detail but has said in the past that he believes county commissioners are using de-annexation as retribution for city initiatives they don't like.
All City Council members — Maggie Blackwell and Pete Kennedy were absent — agreed they want to continue offering to work with county commissioners on airport development.
The city has pledged to give 100 percent of its property tax revenue to the county to help pay for runway extension and other airport needs for the next 10 to 15 years.
While the county has continued to pay for airport operations since the city annexed the property, Paris said he's not sure Rowan has made any capital investments like the city did when it extended water and sewer lines.
Alexander called for an end to political posturing and said she wants to partner with county commissioners on the airport, as well as other economic development projects.
"I'm very proud of the council members because I've heard each one of them in different ways extend the olive branch over and over, and we do that when we see them, no matter what they say," Alexander said. "We still care about them."
At last week's meeting, county commission Chairman Jim Sides said he doesn't believe City Council members have honest intentions and told state lawmakers "it's time to sever that relationship."
Vice Chairman Craig Pierce told the city to "get out of the way."

Customer Reviews for Envision™ Energy Efficient Stripes
By Blindsfan from Cincinnati, OH
My husband and I could not be happier. The blinds were a snap (pun intended) to install, look amazing, block the sun but not the view - all around perfect. We receive so many compliments on them as well. Having shopped other places, the value for the product is good. I would shop here again and I would buy these blinds again.View this product

- Works wonders! Review by R
Value Quality Price
I love this product. My skin is visabily smoother and softer. I have very sensitive skin but this product does not irritate me. The best part is that it cleared up blemishes, blackheads and redness and then stopped them from coming back. Definitely worth the price since it lasts so long and actually works! So far im not halfway through one bottle and ive used it daily for two months.
- Helps control milia without overdrying Review by Candace C
Value Quality Price
I am using this product for the milia that I have had all my life, but recently it seems they've gotten worse on my face. They used to be on my upper arms. I wash my face religiously night and morning and use various products for moisturizing that are not heavy or greasy. I think this toner is helping. Regardless of which cleanser I use, I always finish with this toner, and it never leaves my face feeling striped or tight. I've only been using it for a couple of months, but I think it's helping. BTW, I'm 68, so it isn't acne or other conditions associated with puberty or youth.

I am 30 and still have breakouts. This product is a relief. It has helped control and clear my breakouts in a matter of days. Worth the price!!
- Awesome product Review by stacy

I have been using this toner for at least six months and I am still in love. Other products in the past have dried out my skin but I have never had that issue with the Litmus Test replenishing toner. This is a great alternative for adults dealing with hormonal breakouts. I use this in combination with Ain't miss behaving acne serum and the Litmus Test face lotion. What a great combination of products! It may seem pricey but it is well work the money. I also wash my face twice a day religiously and it lasts well over two months.

Next Level Travel Guides. This ain't no Fodor's, this ain't no Lonely Planet, this ain't no askin' arouuuund. These are the least basic bitches writing about the experience of really visiting a place with a romantic, deeply local sensibility that a "super trendy, $$$" review simply cannot provide. To wit: Mary McCarthy's Stones of Florence and Venice Observed; Arlen Hansen's Expatriate Paris; any of William F. Buckley's sailing books (Airborne and Cruising Speed, in particular).
And speaking of Mr. Buckley—William F. Buckley, Jr. Am I the world's only pearl-clutching hipster? Probably. The only part I hate about admitting that I'm digging William F. Buckley this week is how little I hate to admit it. (Ed. note: huh? (Ed. note: aren't I also the author?)) I even made a Pinterest board called "God and Man on Pinterest." (Thank God for those new secret boards.) But like, when I have my Tuesday night Scotch and Cavett Party, where I drink scotch with my stuffed animals and watch intellectuals go at it, I tell my stuffed animals I'm totally team Vidal, but lately, I'm really feeling I'm for Buckley at heart. Just listen to the way he mockingly quotes Vidal calling Reagan "an aging, Hollywood juvenile actor," pulling on all the words as if it's the most inadequate way any person's ever wrongly insulted another human.
Ending your evening at Melon with a Bloody Mary and a slice of sour apple walnut pie.
Buy shoes and screw the rest. Buy a shoe a month and buy other things sparingly. You could buy this Vanessa Bruno Athe dress from Otte that I've been dying over for about a thousand years at the beginning of a season and buy nothing else but a pair of killer shoes every month until it's spring, when it's time to buy a new suit. (I don't know where that's written in stone, but I'm pretty sure it is.)
Now how do you buy a shoe? The key is to follow Vitruvius's old triumvirate of qualities that make a work of architecture truly great: commodity, firmness, and delight. I know they say weebles wobble but they don't fall down, but I have to tell you folks: they do. So stay low to the ground, weird but not trendy, and when in doubt, ask yourself if the the ideal bad-ass grandmother (age 60) would wear them while holding court at the 21 Club. Here are some of my premium favorites from TheCorner.com, which is currently offering a whopping extra 30% off if you enter "thankyou" at checkout.
Carven Heel.
Commodity: Reasonable heel, closed-toe.
Firmness: Classic shape, a small rainbow of colors to complement most items you own (including your parents' favorite needlepoint pillows!)
Delight: Hi, there's a Bayeux Tapestry on my feet.
Nicholas Kirkwood Mocassin.
Commodity: A flat, meaning you are the Ashlyn Blocker of footwear.
Firmness: Picasso references are always in.
Delight: The shoe you wear to Art Basel. So you get to pretend you're going to Art Basel.
MM6 by Maison Martin Margiela Boot.
Commodity: The classic brown flat boot.
Firmness: …THAT ZIPS INTO AN ANKLE BOOT.
Delight: It's a boot that is like wearing a mask. We all wear masks. Even boots.
Giuseppe Zanotti Design Ankle Boot.
Commodity: Bitty heel.
Firmness: Pilgrim chic.
Delight: Way cooler than the stodgy Marc Jacobs iterations, which, despite being the original Pilgrim Chic shoes, took the silhouette so seriously that they look ironic. These are a more relaxed interp and are purple, because you are the royal highness of New York (or your town)!!!!
Cesare Paciotti Heel.
Commodity, Firmness, and Delight: This is a sexy shoe for a grown-up gal. The wearer goes to a bar and skips the Blood Orange Zest Cosmo for a gin and tonic, thanks.
Carven Bow Heel.
Commodity: This heel is higher than three inches, I think, but that is one heeeeeeeeeeell of a line.
Firmness: Medieval stuff never goes out of style, unless you lived in the Renaissance. And like even then, I mean, you know.
Delight: In no other universe will you catch a bow teaming up with a stained glass window.
Nicholas Kirkwood Sandal.
Commodity: Your ankles are wearing their seatbelts!
Firmness: Should you find the Carvens too precious, these jewel tone babies are filled with whimsy, but at the end of the day, they just want someone to read the Times with them on Sunday morning.
Delight: Ah, that satin cap-toe is taking me higher.

Adipex online for sale
Many of the top health shows on television
always seem to have their host recommend certain diet pills
that work wonders. With new pills being introduced often, it
can be hard to determine which one to choose. Adipex (also
called Phentermine) is one weight loss pill that seems to be
successful when treating obese patients to lose weight and
improve their eating habits.
While Adipex is classified within the phenethylamine and
amphetamine family, it is an appetite suppressant which can
benefit those seeking to lose weight. This medication often
results in 15% more weight loss than other weight loss
pills. Adipex rids fat by increasing an individual's energy
and suppressing the appetite. Also referred to as Adipex-P,
this pill actually goes to work as a stimulant and will
impact a body that is similar to amphetamines. This
indicates that it has an influence on the nervous system in
order curb an appetite. When this medication is combined
with an exercise program and a healthy eating plan (often
prescribed by a physician), Adipex can treat people who run
the risk of getting hypertension (high blood pressure),
diabetes or high cholesterol.

This is my newest backpack, and it is the best one I've ever owned. If you have never purchased one of the waxed canvas products, this is IT! The color is awesome, plenty of room with side pockets, a large front pocket, drawstring, and a zip pocket inside the flap. It makes you want to take a trip just to be able to use this beauty! Of anything I own from your store, this one takes the cake. No complaints on this one. Thank you!

After years of searching, I've finally found the bag that matches my life. The Wanderer has every feature that a bag needs; roomy, durable and a classic style. Hiking, travel, fishing and photography outings are just a few of the assignments for my wanderer. Great materials and construction. I will not hesitate to buy any Duluth Pack product in the future. Thanks for making a bag that I can carry with pride and confidence.

I lost track of how many brands of small-to-medium packs I accumulated, looking for the perfect ONE bag. I think I've found it in the Wanderer.
It's my woodland "photo bag," with whatever extra clothes I have along serving as padding for the cameras. The several pockets nicely isolate water bottle, GPS, and whatever else I chose to take along that morning.
I hate to use the word "perfect," but the Wanderer might just be the one bag that comes closest to deserving the title.

I have used this pack for field archaeology every day for the past 4 years, and have put it through more abuse and use than any other bag has ever held up through, and the Wanderer hasn't hardly flinched. co-workers have gone through 3 or 4 bags in the time since I have picked it up. It fits a nicely equipped first aid kit in the front pocket as well as water bottles and various do-dads in the sides. The strap closer allows for tossing a tarp or coat under the flap for quick, easy access without having to open the whole bag up, and they will not blow out in the middle of a trip the way zippers can when they get dirty or worn out, or if you overload a bag. All in all a wonderful pack!!

- don't use with laptops and hard-cover books!

I purchased a Wanderer in Nov. 2005. I'd been using it as a daily carry, though I often skip bringing a backpack all together. Lasted a total of three years being used approx. every other day to carry loads of 15 lbs or less. Pack ended up busting through completely along one of the bottom seams while carrying my laptop. I was definitely not a happy camper, as you can imagine. In the three years I was using the pack, the join between a shoulder strap and the bag had begun to wear and rip, eventually making it completely unusable.
In addition to the reliability problems the bag also has ergonomic problems, at least when being worn by me. This is especially the case when significantly full; when half full of clothes it bulges out. Even when carefully packed, the pack ends up riding really high. These factors make it a pretty uncomfortable pack to wear for most any length of time.
My recommendation is to stick with DP's more traditional packs for portaging and products by other manufacturer's for backpacks and day packs. The zippered day pack holds up a lot better, at the expense of ~10 L.
