Place all the wrapped smokies in a single layer in a baking dish.
Then melt the stick of butter and then 1 cup of brown sugar and stir until mixed well.

Then take the other cup of brown sugar and sprinkle evenly over the smokies.
Bake them for about 15-20 minutes and then turn the heat up to 400F for about 5 minutes or longer until the bacon becomes crispy.

Burgled Bacon



DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The Iowa Bacon Board has offered a reward to whoever provides the information that leads police to the burglar who took bacon and other items from a Des Moines home.
Someone broke into the home Monday and stole jewelry and electronics, bacon, pork chops, sausage, chicken and four pounds of hamburger.
The Des Moines Register says the Bacon Board is providing VIP passes to Des Moines' Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival as the reward. And the board and Eden Farms will be providing the burglary victim with 15 pounds of bacon and two tickets to the festival.
No arrests have been reported.

(AND no reward offered from the Jewelry Board! That's it. I'm done decorating myself forever.)

Thank you, Rachel Begle (KCRG-TV9)

Swanson Vitamins Promoting Questionable 'Supplement'



Gentlemen,

I think you would be well-advised to do a little more research on the Prevagen product you are promoting. It is damaging to your reputation to be selling the product of a company that has been under investigation by the FDA for this product. Though the dose has since been reduced, Prevagen has been responsible for hospitalizations and well over a thousand reports of serious adverse events. This is not the type of company or product that reflects well on your core business or one that should be in the unsupervised hands of your trusting clients.

As a loyal customer, pharmacist and referral source, I implore you to rethink this choice particularly the choice to promote the product after claiming to have researched it. It didn't require much energy on my part to find what I suspected was a serious problem.

The Quadrotor AR Drone 2.0 - Do I Want One? YES!



Quote - "When I saw this at the store, I stopped DEAD in my tracks. I wanted it!! But it seemed expensive. 2 weeks later I had one. Yes, the battery is only about 12-15 minutes, but so are ALL remotes. What do you expect, it runs 4 motors. I highly recommend downloading the ARDrone Sim app and practicing before your first flight. And do not fly without the indoor hull for a while, even outside. Parts can become very spendy if you're not careful. And waiting for them is even worst! Most of all, this is by far the best toy I have EVER owned !!!!"

Tiny Steps - Big Pharmacy Moments



I do believe that creative managers can make any business model work through hands-on, frequent supportive interaction with their employees. Corporate obstacles can be overcome if all employees work together to improve conditions for their own benefit and that of their clients. (Teachers do this all the time with incredibly scarce resources.)

Our local superstore looked and functioned very differently under two different managers. Also, when I worked as a float for a superstore, every place I went had a different culture even in the presence of a monolithic structure that was completely inflexible. I think what I saw was secondary to the local manager's shared human relations skills. Still caring in a planogram nightmare? People notice.
