Useful info if you're ever in the nightmare scenario of being attacked by a sentient frying pan.

Battle Plan (n) - a list of things that aren't going to happen if you are attacked.
Blame it on Sixto - now that is a viable plan.
Learning to shoot again : Starting Over
Tell that to the LEO in the article I just read about the perp who was shot center mass 17 times with a Glock .40 and the guy kept on coming...... Took the guy 4 minutes or so to die. Humans are different than frying pans. But it is interesting to see the difference.
Wow--a jacketed bulet had better penetration through metal than an unjacketed bullet...
Whoda thunk it?
There are no dangerous weapons; there are only dangerous men.--RAH
...man fights with his mind; the weapons are incidental.--Jeff Cooper
There is a reason they try and make small bullets act like big bullets--Glockmann10mm
It's like comparing apples and oranges, totally irrelevant.
In reality the .38 would probably give you a better stop then the .40. The .40 was a FMJ you stand a better chance of a complete pass through. Since the .38 was a lead SWC it will probably give you some expansion, creating a larger wound channel.
This subject is tough because some people are harder to kill .Think about it
we are all not a like ,some are more determined to reach an objective and some maybe hopped up you don't know .Shot placement may have been poor
ammunition may have be hardball instead of hollow point and the list could go on.
These pop up every once in a while... stopping power is important, but if you can't hit the target "stopping power" does not mean a whole lot.
Personally, I believe there is a minimum caliber... .38 in a revolver, and 9mm in a semi-auto (some might say .380)... if you can shoot a .45acp better than a 9mm you should buy a .45acp, but if you buy a .45acp for the stopping power and can shoot a 9mm better... on and on and on again... buy what you can shoot... two or three shoots center mass is better than two or three shoots in an arm or missing your target totally!!!

Officer Down - The Peter Soulis Incident
17 shots from .40 S&W Winchester Ranger SXT center of mass, 22 shots overall hit him. He was still fighting. He died 4 minutes after the last shot was fired into him.
There is no such thing as stopping power if you're not willing to shoot with the intent to kill. Caliber doesn't mean anything if you can't place your shots fast and accurately.
Practice your Mozambique drills lately?
~Mike F.
"Quemadmoeum gladuis neminem occidit, occidentis telum est."
I like what ML stated...it is overrated and incorrect perceptions generated from demo's. There is always the odd case of 17 shots...but how many actually practice on a moving target?
I don't want my bullets to go through the guy...just bounce around inside. Cuts down on collateral damage.
It is ALL about stopping power! If can't stop the threat then what is the use? I carry .45acp because I can handle it and shoot it well. It has the best "stopping power" in the "normal" carry guns. This is only true if you have the right ammo. I am not looking for penetration. I want to inflict as much damage/death as soon as possible. I am not looking to kill the BG, I am however looking to stay alive myself and that means stopping him! Stopping power is everything!
Oh, and I was attacked by a frying pan! I didn't shoot it as I was not wanting to harm the innocent bacon inside. It was only later that I realized that it was the presumed "innocent" bacon that had indeed harmed me by spattering its delicious grease on me! I can't help but wonder if the frying pan in the video was innocent as mine seems to be!
Pray for our nations leaders!
OK i will take a stab at stopping power here. In guns there is such a thing but not to the extent people believe. Newton summed it up quite nicely in his third law of motion. "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."
Basically if your gun does not knock you down when you fire it will not knock down a person of the same size. the only place where a person can get knocked don from the force of a gun is with a heavy military weapon or a large shotgun and only if the person is off balance.
"If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking" - George S. Patton.
I carry a 10" cast iron frying pan in a high rise OWB at about 3:30 stongside.
I'm currently looking for a good shoulder holster for the folding omelett pan I carry as a back up.

text: Sinus X-rayWhat is a sinus X-ray?A sinus X-ray is an imaging test that uses X-rays to look at your sinuses. The sinuses are air-filled pockets (cavities) near your nasal passage.X-rays use a small amount of radiation to create images of your bones and internal organs. X-rays are most often used to find bone or joint problems, or to check the heart and lungs. A sinus X-ray is one type of X-ray.A sinus X-ray is simple and quick, and does not involve any instruments that are put into your body (noninvasive). It can give your healthcare provider useful information. But a sinus X-ray can only tell your provider that a problem exists. It does not show a specific cause of the problem.A CT scan or MRI may give better images of your sinuses. You may have one of these scans instead of a sinus X-ray in certain cases.Why might I need a sinus X-ray?You may need a sinus X-ray if your healthcare provider thinks that you may have:Injury to your sinusesInflammation (sinusitis)InfectionHemorrhageTumor or other massYou may also need a sinus X-ray after sinus surgery.Your provider may have other reasons to recommend a chest X-ray.What are the risks of a sinus X-ray?You may want to ask your healthcare provider about the amount of radiation used during the test. Also ask about the risks as they apply to you.Consider writing down all X-rays you get, including past scans and X-rays for other health reasons. Show this list to your provider. The risks of radiation exposure may be tied to the number of X-rays you have and the X-ray treatments you have over time.Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant. Radiation exposure during pregnancy may lead to birth defects. If you need to have a sinus X-ray, the technologist will take special care to keep the radiation exposure to the fetus at a minimum.You may have other risks depending on your specific health condition. Be sure to talk with your provider about any concerns you have before the procedure.How do I get ready for a sinus X-ray?Your healthcare provider will explain the procedure to you. Ask him or her any questions you have about the procedure.You do not need to stop eating or drinking before the test. You also will not need medicine to help you relax (sedation).Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant.Tell your healthcare provider an artificial (prosthetic) eye. An artificial eye can create a confusing shadow on a sinus X-ray.Follow any other instructions your provider gives you to get ready.What happens during a sinus X-ray?You may have a sinus X-ray as an outpatient or as part of your stay in a hospital. The way the test is done may vary depending on your condition and your healthcare provider's practices.Generally, a sinus X-ray follows this process:You will be asked to remove any jewelry or other objects that may get in the way of the test.You will lie on an X-ray table. Your head will be carefully placed between the X-ray machine and the X-ray film. A foam vise will hold your head still. The vise does not hurt.The technologist may cover the rest of your body with a lead apron (shield) so you are not exposed to the X-rays.The technologist will ask you to hold still for a few moments while the X-ray is made.If the X-ray is needed to look at a possible injury, the technologist will take special care to prevent further injury. For example, you may wear a neck brace if your healthcare provider thinks you have a cervical spine fracture.Some sinus X-ray studies may require you to be in several different positions. It is very important to remain still during the X-ray. Any movement may affect the quality of the image. You may need to have another X-ray done in that case.The technologist will step behind a special window while the image is taken.The sinus X-ray is not painful. But you may have some discomfort or pain from moving into different positions if you have had recent surgery or an injury. The technologist will use all possible comfort measures and do the scan as quickly as possible to minimize any discomfort or pain.What happens after a sinus X-ray?You do not need any special care after a sinus X-ray. Your healthcare provider may give you other instructions, depending on your situation.Next stepsBefore you agree to the test or the procedure make sure you know:The name of the test or procedureThe reason you are having the test or procedureWhat results to expect and what they meanThe risks and benefits of the test or procedureWhat the possible side effects or complications areWhen and where you are to have the test or procedureWho will do the test or procedure and what that person's qualifications areWhat would happen if you did not have the test or procedureAny alternative tests or procedures to think aboutWhen and how will you get the resultsWho to call after the test or procedure if you have questions or problemsHow much will you have to pay for the test or procedure Health Encyclopedia A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Search Health Library

Whistleblower Tells Students To Have Personal IntegrityNov 18, 2003 | The Clarion-Ledger
The label of whistleblower is not flattering, Cynthia Cooper told accounting students Monday at Mississippi State University.
Cooper, the internal auditor credited with uncovering $3.85 billion of fraud at WorldCom, said whistleblowers often lose their jobs, their families and even face bankruptcy.
Cooper said she wasn't ostracized by people at WorldCom when she uncovered the company had listed line costs as a capital expense instead of an operating expense to make it look profitable when it was actually losing money.
"There is an invisible line, and when you step over it you will be labeled a whistleblower," she told several hundred accounting students who packed the Swalm Chemical Engineering Building auditorium.
Personal integrity should be the driving force in making the right moral decisions, said Cooper, vice president of internal audit at MCI the company's new name.
"Strive to be persons of honor and integrity," she said. "Do not allow yourself to be pressured ... Do what you know is right even if there may be a price to be paid."
While Cooper didn't face repercussions from the company, revealing the fraud hasn't come without personal challenges or costs to WorldCom.
Cooper's revelation forced WorldCom, which was based in Clinton at the time, into bankruptcy. Four former employees have pleaded guilty to accounting fraud and former chief financial officer Scott Sullivan faces a February trial for numerous counts of fraud in the accounting scandal that has since grown to $11 billion.
The fallout didn't end there.
"Thousands of our co-workers were laid off," Cooper said. "There are 55,000 honest, hard-working employees that were affected because of the actions of a few."
Most accounting functions that were performed in Clinton have been moved elsewhere, Cooper said.
The state of Oklahoma has also brought criminal charges of securities fraud against former Chief Executive Officer Bernie Ebbers, Sullivan, David Myers, Buford Yates, Betty Vinson and Troy Norman as well as the company.
Cooper said the recently enacted Sarbanes-Oxley act now protects people who are considered whistleblowers.
"It was added after the WorldCom debacle," said Cooper, who along with Sharron Watkins, a former vice president at Enron and FBI agent Coleen Rowley were named Time magazine's People of the Year for 2002.
Rowley wrote a memorandum saying information about Zacarias Moussaoui was ignored before the 9-11 terrorist attacks and Watkins exposed extensive false accounting at Enron, the energy trading company now in bankruptcy.
Sophomore accounting student Tanisha Jones of Magee found Cooper's first-hand experience helpful.
"You have to think about what is right," Jones said. "A lot of people are going to face problems at their jobs and it was important to have someone who has been there to tell us what they've been through."
That was the reason Danny P. Hollingsworth, director of the school of accountancy, wanted Cooper, who received her bachelor's degree in accountancy from MSU in 1986, and Glyn Smith, an audit manager in MCI's Internal Audit Department, to speak to the group.
"It is extremely important to constantly remind the students of their responsibilities," he said.
Hong Zhang, a graduate student from China, said she worked on a project in her fraud examination class that studied WorldCom.
"It is very important for there to be internal auditing," she said. "Every big company must have internal audits."
Cooper said the problems major corporations have had during the past two years are bringing about changes to help deter future problems.
Among areas of concern Cooper said, are the irrational exuberance of companies and passive boards of directors, which lead to an inadequate balance of power.
"Boards can't just rubber stamp what executives want," she said.
Other areas that need to be addressed are excessive executive compensation and loans to executives. Ebbers received a loan of more than $400 million from WorldCom. The board approved it so he wouldn't sell shares of stock to pay debts backed by the stock.
"A public company cannot and should not be piggy banks to executives," Cooper said.
While the internal controls are owned by the management of the company, Cooper said collusion by executives at the highest level can go undetected.
She is encouraging companies to have training on ethics and internal controls policies. Also, internal audit departments should have increased authority, be independent and be given the resources to do their jobs, Cooper said.
"And the internal auditor should report to the CEO not the CFO," she said. "Many, including myself, reported to the CFO."
Smith told the students that often people make decisions based on what they are told to do, because they are afraid they may lose their jobs.
"Mid-level managers are now in trouble all across the nation because of the decisions they made because their bosses, or the boss' boss is saying it's OK," Smith said. "Right now you are making decisions that will affect the choices you make when you get into corporate America.
"On a daily basis you should practice decision making," Smith told the students.

Maingear Shift Limited Edition Chassis Review
For those who are unaware of Maingear and what sort of services they offer to the public, they are a high-end system builder that also offers their own flavor with add-on technologies that are made, along with their chassis configurations, to dominate in all aspects of gaming. Maingear delivers some expensive, but none the less, seriously powerful builds in currently one of four enclosures, at least until now. Well almost, as I write this there are still three days prior to them being able to ship these units.
Essentially, at its core, the shift is a Silverstone RV01 that Maingear outfits with its own skin or outer sheet metal to their own desires and strips a couple of things from the interior that just aren't needed or otherwise clutter up the custom builds that they do inside of it. Being that these are custom order builds, there are seemingly a lot of the options still left in this design that the previous carbon fiber version and more plain aluminum renditions offered before.
You can add a window, get a custom interior color, various EPIC 180 cooling solutions, the Epic Audio Module along with other optional all at an additional cost.
It was also rumored a bit ago that just the case itself would be offered for the do-it-yourselfer in all of us. Since there are only 100 of this specific enclosure, if you want one, you have to act fast. The chassis we are looking at is of course the Maingear Shift Limited Edition chassis in its most basic form. While this chassis is developed around a pre-existing top selling chassis, Maingear makes enough changes to deliver a unique take on a really good design.
The fact that this chassis comes with cooling for the CPU and an audio module that works with both sound cards and onboard motherboard audio is just icing on the cake.

The Vikings defense was tested early with the Titans' running back duo of rookie Derrick Henry and DeMarco Murray, surrendering two first downs, but stiffened on time to keep Tennessee out of scoring position.
However, when the Vikings went three-and-out on their first drive, the field position advantage went to the Titans, who took advantage of a short pass play that Henry turned into a 29-yard gain with several missed tackles. That put the Titans in field goal position and Ryan Succop gave them the first points of the game with a 28-yard field goal.
The Vikings' second drive was more efficient to start, with Stefon Diggs and Kyle Rudolph leading the team into the red zone, but two negative runs by Adrian Peterson and a holding call against Andre Smith forced a field goal attempt, one that Blair Walsh shot wide left from 37 yards out.
After trading punts, the Titans got on a roll again. Tajae Sharpe and Harry Douglas got first downs on receptions of 12 and 16 yards, putting Tennessee in scoring position. Sharpe picked up another first down with an 8-yard reception on third-and-8 and Murray caught a 14-yard pass over Everson Griffen on third-and-10. Two plays later, Murray hurdled into the end zone for a 6-yard touchdown and the Titans had a 10-0 lead with 41 seconds to play.
Shaun Hill gave the Vikings a chance with a 13-yard pass to Diggs and a 21-yarder to Kyle Rudolph. But from 56 yards out, Blair Walsh yanked another kick left that wasn't even close and the Vikings trailed 10-0 at the half.
Adrian Peterson had only 20 yards on nine carries for the Vikings, with Hill going 11-for-19 for 124 yards. Rudolph had 47 yards on three catches and Diggs had 46 on four receptions in the first half.
Cordarrelle Patterson gave the Vikings a spark to start the second half with a 61-yard kickoff return, and this time Walsh made good on an attempt. He hit from 50 yards out and Minnesota cut the lead to 10-3 only 64 seconds into the second half.
The Vikings forced their first-and-three out of the game, and completions of 15, 14 and 10 yards to Thielen and Diggs started them on a drive into Titans territory. Patterson picked up a first down on an end around and Walsh hit his second field goal to pull the Vikings within four points at 10-6.
The defense did it on the next possession. As the Titans drove into Minnesota territory, Everson Griffen pressured Mariota and he floated a pass that Eric Kendricks intercepted and returned 77 yards for a touchdown to give the Vikings their first lead of the game, 12-10, after Walsh missed the extra point.
The defensive resurgence continued in the fourth quarter. The Vikings forced another Tennessee three-and-out and Hill converted third downs with passes of 16 yards to Thielen and 18 yards to Rudolph before Walsh was called upon for a 45-yard field goal that he hit for a 15-10 lead with 11:17 to play.
On the first play of Tennessee's next possession, Mariota botched a handoff and Danielle Hunter scooped up the ball and ran 25 yards for a touchdown and a 22-10 Minnesota lead.
The defense forced another turnover when Linval Joseph stripped Murray of the ball and Andrew Sendejo recovered. The Vikings couldn't capitalize on that drive, but forced another Titans three-and-out thanks to a 10-yard sack by Hunter.
That helped give them good field position and Hill put them in scoring position with a 33-yard pass to Diggs to the 16-yard line. From there, the Vikings milked the clock and settled for a 30-yard field and a 25-10 lead with 2:36 to play.
The Titans drove down the field in 2:08, capped with a 4-yard touchdown pass to Murray to pull within nine points with 28 seconds left, but they elected to go for the two-point conversion and failed, essentially ending all hope, even if they recovered the onside kick. It turned out Rudolph recovered and the Vikings came away with the nine-point win, 25-16.
Despite Peterson being held to 31 yards on 19 carries, the offense survived with Hill completing 18 of 33 passes for 236 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions. Diggs led all receivers with seven catches for 103 yards and Rudolph chipped in 65 yards on four catches.
But, mostly, it was a second-half defense that forced three turnovers and scored two touchdowns that was the difference in the team starting the season with a win.
The Vikings have made CB Xavier Rhodes and WR Jarius Wright inactive for the opening game of the 2016 season against the Tennessee Titans.
Rhodes was downgraded to questionable on Sunday morning with a knee injury, and CB Trae Waynes will start for Rhodes.
Wright was a healthy scratch on Sunday after falling down the depth chart this offseason. The five receivers that are active are Charles Johnson, Stefon Diggs, Adam Thielen, Laquon Treadwell and Cordarrelle Patterson.
In addition to Rhodes and Wright, LB Kentrell Brothers, LB Edmond Robinson, C Nick Easton, OL Jeremiah Sirles and TE MyCole Pruitt are also inactive.
Inactive for the Titans are QB Alex Tanney, WR Kendall Wright, CB LeShaun Sims, OLB Aaron Wallace, G Sebastian Tretola, OL Josh Kline and TE Jace Amaro.
Minnesota Vikings CB Xavier Rhodes has been downgraded to questionable on Sunday morning because of a knee injury. Rhodes had participated fully in Friday's practice and was listed with a hamstring injury throughout the week. However, the knee injury may have cropped up Saturday.
In the NFL's new injury reporting protocol, the designation of "probable" has been eliminated in 2016 and therefore Rhodes wasn't even given a playing status on Friday's injury report, meaning the team fully expected him to play.
CB Trae Waynes would likely start in place of Rhodes if the veteran is unable to play, with rookie Mackensie Alexander being another possibility.
On Friday's report, C Nick Easton and TE MyCole Pruitt were listed as out and RB Jerick McKinnon and WR Charles Johnson were listed as questionable. No one was listed as doubtful.null

Jamial Bayly Taught His Toddler Son How To Roll With The Punches
Cambridge, OH (The Weekly Vice) - Jamial Bayly, a 40-year-old Ohio man, was jailed Sunday after he allegedly placed his son inside a clothes dryer and turned it on as punishment.
According to the Guernsey County Sheriff's Office, deputies were dispatched to Bayly's home for a welfare check after relatives reported possible child abuse.
Investigators say Bayly admitted to putting his 3-year-old son into a clothes dryer and then turning it on as punishment.
Deputies checked the boy and didn't find any injuries.
Bayly was booked into jail and charged with felony domestic violence and misdemeanor child endangerment.
He was convicted in 1999 of domestic violence for assaulting a 5-year-old relative.

Review St. Catherine University
So far, my experience at St. Kate's has been great! The professors genuinely care about the success of their students and the university is very proud of its history. I would have given it a five but not a lot happens on weekends at school. I'm not a partier but it definitely feels like a suitcase college. Also, I love the all-women aspect since it is all about women empowering one another. However, I do miss seeing the male gender. I wish there were more men who took classes at St. Kate's.
The courses are fairly easy as I'm working on liberal art science courses online before I start occupational therapy courses next semester. The professors are really nice and helpful. The overall administration is pretty great and helpful and make me feel like they actually care about me and my success. There's a lot of different, interesting courses offered that I had no clue even existed. My online class seems to be fairly small, and it's basically all girls, so we all keep in touch via text and often communicate and help each other out when we can, so that warm sense of community even online is awesome! It's a little pricey, but for a degree program like mine (Online OTA, you get an associates in applied science majoring in occupational therapy) it's worth it, especially because you complete the program in 16 months. However, the administration wants to help me so much (especially as a young mommy) that they allowed me to add an extra semester to the program to knock out most of my liberal art science courses before I begin the OTA courses, labs, and fieldwork, so that's been super helpful and made the course load lighter for me.The tuition is a little pricey (I'm paying $664/credit) but I've gotten FAFSA and taken out Stafford and private loans. I've been applying to scholarships, so I hope I can win one. I know this field of work and degree I'm going for is growing, so there will be lots of job opportunities after, so my degree is very relevant. Everyone that I've encountered is SO helpful! Administrators communicate fast and help me with all questions and concerns. I am treated with respect and kindness and have been helped every step of the college way!
The degree I'm working on is an associates in applied science with my major being occupational therapy. Having previous connections to OT, I know that as an occupational therapist assistant, I have great job opportunities after I graduate with great pay, especially in particular regions like Las Vegas, most of Texas, most of Virginia (where I live) and a lot of the upper east coast. The midwest doesn't pay OTA's very great because the population is usually lower and there's not as much demand for us. But, I know what to expect with this degree since I've researched it, and the career is growing something like 40% in the next 2 years! The fact that St. Kate's offers this online degree opportunity in a mere 16-20 months is fantastic and perfect for someone like me, a young mommy who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford the traditional 4 years of college, I needed a quick solution. I can keep building onto my degree too, moving onto a Master's and whatnot. In my area, I can volunteer in the field, but the school hasn't set me up with any internships or anything, which I didn't expect because it's not hard to go to a nursing home or rehab and ask to volunteer to help out your degree.

REFILE-US STOCKS-Wall St edges up after JPMorgan, J&J results
(Refiles to fix typo in paragraph 3)
* JPMorgan rises after results, Wells Fargo lower
* Norfolk Southern gives weak outlook, shares fall
* Nokia in talks to buy Alcatel-Lucent
* Indexes up: Dow 0.3 pct, S&P 0.2 pct, Nasdaq 0.1 pct
By Ryan Vlastelica
NEW YORK, April 14 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks rose modestly on Tuesday as investors digested the initial major earnings of the first-quarter reporting season, which showed some weakness despite companies topping lowered expectations.
JPMorgan Chase & Co posted stronger-than-expected earnings growth, helped by a rebound in fixed-income trading. Revenue rose 5 percent. The stock rose 1.8 percent to $63.22 as the S&P 500's biggest percentage gainer. Wells Fargo & Co dipped 0.8 percent to $54.15 despite also reporting first-quarter earnings that topped expectations.
Johnson & Johnson reported adjusted earnings that topped expectations, but the consumer products giant also cut its full-year forecast, citing the impact of a strong dollar. The stock - which, along with JPMorgan, is a Dow component - rose 0.6 percent to $101.16. Continuación...

I didn't NEED to travel to Stockholm to fall in love with Swedish brand SACHAJUAN, but c'est la vie. Because although I recognized their products back in New York, it wasn't until I arrived in Sweden — and after a week of using Head and Shoulders — that I was inspired to try it out. In Stockholm, SACHAJUAN is everywhere, and now I understand why. After examining (and smelling) every one of their bottles at Åhlens, I settled on their most basic Shampoo for Normal Hair. It smells and works amazing especially as a clarifying shampoo that won't weigh your hair down. The line is based around "ocean silk technology," which adds shine to your locks while keeping them bouncy by utilizing key proteins found in sea algae extract. My favorite summer find in Stockholm so far.
Parisa: "We are launching Max Fowles Ready to Wear collection for Autumn/Winter 2012. I'm the Creative Director for the brand and we've been designing the collection for the past few years. It's a small twenty-piece collection and we are really excited. When you get your first sale it's the point where you feel like oh this works and it is so rewarding because you have a vision in your head but you don't know how it will work until you get the feedback."
I packed my bags and headed to Europe to explore the best beauty in some major cities around the continent. So goodbye New York, hello summer — well, kind of. I've spent the last couple of weeks in Stockholm where the forecast has been in the low fifties with frequent showers. Luckily I've been busy scouring the cities finest digs in search of Rodin's Olio Lusso — and of course, babes. On my Swedish adventures, I met up with Christian Hughes who co-owns the beauty mainstay Cow Parfymeri on Mäster Samuelsgatan.

Orgasm Girl 2 is much more enjoyable in that it's actually possible to beat it. This game is very difficult and I'm not entirely sure if it's possible to really win. I've tried touching her in various spots to see what might make her tick but there was little response.
When attempting a nipple stand or trying to get her panties wet, the state meter plummets down way too fast in comparison to the pleasure gauge, and the state meter takes much longer than the pleasure gauge does to return to normal. So basically by the time the state meter is down far enough to pleasure her some more, the pleasure meter has depleted entirely.. :/
I'll keep trying but as it stands, it's pretty difficult. I'm probably doing something wrong, but I did just fine on the other game. Anyway, I still love the concept and think it's worth a try.

Sophie's Cuban Cuisine
The story of Sophie's Cuban Cuisine is not the story of a family of Cuban restaurateurs passing down recipes between generations. The road to the first Sophie's location and the ones that followed was longer and more unpredictable than that. Its founders—the Luna family—arrived in New York from Lima, Peru, and started out scratching together capital by selling Peruvian food from carts at New York City soccer fields. At the time, however, their native cuisine might have seemed a little too out of the ordinary for the city's palate, so the Lunas began to do some research: what kind of menu could form the ideal home for their love of hearty portions and fresh ingredients?
With the help of Havana-trained chef Eduardo Morgado, they found the answer. The Cuban recipes at the spot they opened up were wildly popular. Their reputation grew with each roast-pork-and-ham sandwich served, and by 2001 they were operating four different Sophie's locations. But then came September 11, which demolished two outposts near the World Trade Center. A third was gobbled up by a landlord who bought them out. In the face of these setbacks, the Lunas did what they'd always done: roll up their sleeves and keep working. Today, they've planted the seeds for a franchise they expect to populate the entire East Coast with the aroma of sizzling plantains.
Their Cuban sandwich is still a customer favorite, as are pernil sandwiches with roast pork, sweet plantains, and Sophie's signature green sauce (also available bottled, although the exact recipe is kept secret, hidden at the bottom of an enormous vat of oxtail stew). In a 2008 New York Times review, Pete Wells accordingly called Sophie's a destination for "authentic sandwich bliss," and for piquant roast turkey "worth eating far, far more often than once a year." Empanadas stuffed with beef, chicken, or guavas often precede entrees of chicken fricassee or oxtail stew. The batidos (milkshakes) conclude meals on a relatively healthy note, blended from tropical fruits such as mango, papaya, and passion fruit.

Portland City Hall vs. Ride-sharing: The Lady Doth Protest Too Much
by Tom Dale
Last Friday, Uber started operating in Portland despite the city government's stance that ride-sharing services remain illegal.
One of the loudest voices of fear, uncertainty and doubt coming out of City Hall about Uber has been Steve Novick. Mr. Novick is a City Commissioner, and, unfortunately, in charge of the transportation board here.
Let me start by acknowledging that Uber does not make a compelling victim. Their take-no-prisoners attitude serves them well when dealing with local bureaucrats in the pockets of special interests like Mr. Novick, but it can also manifest in much more sinister ways.
But this isn't about Uber. It's just as much about other services like Lyft, Sidecar, etc. More importantly, it's about the right of Portland residents to have a choice in who provides their transportation. Uber happens to be fighting the fight, so it's inevitable that the unsavoriness of that company becomes part of the conversation, but from my perspective this battle is about unshackling Portland from its antiquated and corrupt taxi system.
Mr. Novick's feigned outrage that Uber has started operating without government say-so is made all the more hilarious by his assertion that, had they just been a little more patient, the regulations would have been updated to accommodate them.
"We have told Uber and Lyft that they are welcome to offer ideas for regulatory changes. Uber has chosen instead to break the law," Mr. Novick is quoted as saying.
Mr. Novick, and Mayor Hales, the onus is on you to fix the regulations, not the people you are regulating. And you've had plenty of time. I've been using Uber in San Francisco since 2010; these services did not suddenly take you by surprise. I travel frequently and Portland is the only city where I can't rely on Lyft or Uber to get a reliable ride.
"It's difficult to understand why Portland is now the largest city in the country where ride sharing companies are not able to operate," said over 40 local restaurant, bar, and hotel owners in a letter to City Hall, "At Feast Portland this year, the number one complaint among the 12,000 attendees from 50 different states and provinces was, 'lack of reliable taxi service.'"
Cities that value the needs of their citizens over preserving taxi monopolies have already found ways to adjust regulations to protect riders while still offering them the convenience, availability, and reliability of phone-hailed car services.
In New York City, for example, drivers must have a special driver's license, licensed vehicle, and insurance. If your concern is actually about the welfare of passengers and not just protecting your taxi company cronies, it turns out there are solutions that don't involve wholesale bans.
While Mr. Novick claims this is about safety, I have never felt unsafe in an Uber or a Lyft. I have had some very sketchy taxi rides, including one where the cabbie nearly got out and engaged in a fist fight with another driver.
The taxi regulation in Portland is a disaster, with demand far exceeding supply on weekends. The number of cabs is capped at 460, or approximately one taxi for every 1,269 people. (Seattle's ratio is about one taxi per 890 people; San Francisco, one per 533.)
There is a reason every other major city has welcomed these services. Being able to reliably call for a car, even on busy nights, reduces drunk driving, means fewer cars on the road, and improves access to underserved communities.
Mr. Novick says he's going to throw the book at drivers, impounding the cars of hard-working Americans who are looking to make a little extra cash doing what Americans do best: responding to market demand.
Let him. Once Portland residents get a taste for how transformative services like Uber and Lyft can be, they'll find it hard to stomach the image of authoritative thugs putting their boot down on middle-class Americans trying to make a buck, all because unions happen to be Mr. Novick's biggest donors.
Oh, did I mention that Mr. Novick is in the pocket of the Oregon AFL-CIO? Forget all the blustering about doing what's best for Portland residents; it's just theater to please his union masters and protect his political base.
While I wish City Hall had had the foresight to deal with this before it became a legal battle, I'm grateful that, in the story of Portland vs. ride-sharing, we have someone coming out looking like a bigger villain than Uber.

DIY Horse-Drawn Wagon Is a Ready-to-Roll Bakery Cart
This horse-drawn wagon carries hundreds of loaves and pastries to market without using a drop of gasoline. The Vermont baker who built it believes horse-drawn vehicles can make a comeback, and hopes that he's started a trend with his handmade delivery wagon.
The finished horse-drawn delivery cart returns to the farm after a visit to the Vergennes, Vt., farmers market.

Go to: http://www.feedparser.org/ and http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyserial . . . so you can download the packages for the two extra libraries we will need, feedparser and pySerial. Note: To install these, unpack the tar.gz file and run setup.py like the following (on Linux): python setup.py install On other systems, just run the setup.py file with the command line argument "install." Now for the physical parts. As you can see to the left, all you need for this first project are an LED and an Arduino. The box and switch are part of my Arduino housing and aren't required. © Make Projects www.makeprojects.com Page 2 of 9 Arduino and Python: Learn Serial Programming Now just connect the LED between pin 13 (+) and GND (-), and plug the Arduino into your computer.

The cut-off line says: • makezine = feedparser.parse(" http://blog.makezine.com/feed" ) Now, make sure that your Arduino is still connected and running the Arduino sketch you made earlier. Now, run the Python program, and when a new feed comes in from the Make website, the LED should light up!

The path above only works for Ubuntu, and so you may have to change it around. Also, the piano is in its beta version, and has a few glitches. • Final note: If these projects interested you, look at the pySerial documentation that can easily be found via Google. • Please go ahead and modify/tinker with these projects, and create your own.

While there's no word on whether or not the servers are talking pieces of furniture, The Beauty and the Beast Cafe in Yokohama, Japan features a wonderful decor style that evokes the atmosphere of the popular fairy tale. From the chateau-style theme to the Belle-inspired dishes (like the "Belle Lunch," pictured below, which features an omelette that looks like Belle in her ball gown), the restaurant seems to capture the Beauty and the Beast vibe nicely. Check out more pics below.

Seventh Cooperative Principle: Concern for Community – While focusing on member needs, cooperatives work for the sustainable development for their communities through policies accepted by their members.
Beans for Bags Program
The Co-op's Beans for Bags Program, which allocates donations to 16 local organizations based on customers' shopping bag reuse, received the Food Marketing Institute's Community Outreach Award for 2013.
The aim of the program is to encourage conservation of disposable bags by offering customers a lima bean in exchange for bringing in their own shopping bag; one bean is given for each bag used. The lima bean represents a portion of allocated donation funds, and customers may choose one of four Co-op owner-elected local non-profit groups they would like to support with their bean. The organizations rotate every quarter for a total of 16 organizations.
Do you work for a community organization that could benefit from this program? Do you have a favorite community organization that you would like to nominate to be on the ballot for next year?

Previous Years:
Read about the 2016 candidate organizations in the October THYMES, page 4-5
Our 2017 Co-op owner-elected Organizations:
Real Impact: Last year CARDV housed 115 adults and 104 children in shelter for 3,510 bed nights. They answered 7,068 calls on the crisis line and met with 1,063 adults in person to provide services, information and safety planning-a 56% increase from the previous year.
Real Impact: In the past year we have recycled 3,600 lbs. of metal, 870 lbs. of batteries, 1,260 cubic yards of styrofoam, 630 cubic yards of comingle, 480 cubic yards of glass. We run our center on a zero dollar budget.
Real Impact: We serve over 350 hospice patients and their families each year (490 days of charity care this past year), as well as about 100 Transitions clients (those not ready for hospice). We provided grief support to 953 individuals, and offered 72 donor-supported sessions of education and support for caregivers and the grieving.
Real Impact: 41 community volunteers served as Court Appointed Special Advocates in the last year.
We have served in total 95 children in the last year and attended over 300 meetings on their behalf.
We have attended over 165 court hearings to advocate for children and have submitted over 165 reports to the court.
Real Impact: In 2013, SDRO helped 125 individuals/families in our community: 99 dogs were rescued, given vet care and adopted; 24 dogs were able to stay w/ their families w/ food & med help; 2 dogs were re-homed by phone by contacting rescues in Indiana. YTD 2014 numbers indicate about a 30% increase over 2013.
Real Impact: We serve communities in the far western part of Benton County; Blodgett, Harlen, Summit, Nashville. Once a month 305 needy Benton County clients shop for 3 to 5 days of food in our Food Bank's grocery store set up. Most of our clients' monthly income is between $500 and $700 a month and usually they have Food Stamps and the Oregon Health Plan.
Real Impact: In 2013, we pioneered an RX program using plant based foods to reduce weight and other risk factors for diabetes sufferers. One person is now completely off her meds as a result of this program. TRFW has been described as a 3 county food activist think-tank. For almost a decade we have initiated discussions and direction that resulted in over 1,000 acres of grains, beans and seeds and two mills on former grass seed farms. Those foods are available at First Alternative. We are now functioning as volunteers without staff. We are relying on local community financial support to continue our work.
Real Impact: Provided information and referral and/or provided crisis response to 9,469 calls.
Distributed 1,300 food boxes, feeding 4,183 community members and provided approximately 32,250 meals for people staying in shelter. Assisted with health services through 3,234 visits to one of our medical clinics located in Corvallis or Lebanon. Provided emergency, temporary or transitional shelter for 90 men, 68 women, 50 families with 126 children, 32 Veterans (23 men, 3 women and 6 families).
Real Impact: There are currently about 290 gleaners in our group, with about 140 able-bodied gleaners and 150 adoptees. There are about 91 children under 18. In July gleaners volunteered 704 hours and 1969 miles. July donations from stores and farms totalled 11,855 pounds. We redistributed 5,594 pounds to other groups. We also buy food from Linn-Benton Food Share. Costs for the food covers storage and transportation costs. This allows us to provide canned and frozen staple items to our families.
Real Impact: We operate with three part-time staff. More than 90% of our budget goes toward restoration and education projects across Marys River watershed, providing fish and wildlife habitat and enhancing water quality for all of us who enjoy the iconic landscapes of Marys Peak and environs. In FY 2012/13, we removed six fish passage barriers; improved channel function & fish habitat along a 1-mile reach. Streamside vegetation was planted across 25 acres. MRWC partnered with 27 landowners to improve prairie-oak habitats for butterflies, and hosted more than 500 school kids in outdoor education programs.
Real Impact: Benton Habitat is currently building their 37th home; this will be the first Passive Home built by Habitat in Oregon.
Real Impact: During our first full fiscal year as a non-profit organization (July 1, 2013-June 30, 2014) we raised $196,151.32 for 9 different projects without much publicity or outreach. The funds raised were for several projects that will benefit all residents of Corvallis, from youth to seniors. Projects that we received funds for include: Marys River Boardwalk replacement, Owens Farm Barn preservation, Sunnyside School move, Arnold Park Playground equipment replacement, Ron Naasko Playground creation, Adams Pickleball Court resurfacing and memorial benches at Tunison Park.
Real Impact: From community outreach at events to staffing workshops at the public library, to mentoring volunteers and people who use the shop every day, bicycle education is integrated into everything they do.
Real Impact: In 2014, through their programs, three tons of produce were donated to local food pantries, and 400 youth received education through place-based summer camps. Funds from Beans for Bags will help cover CEC expenses such as staff support, facilities and supplies.
Real Impact: Respite services provide family caregivers help to avoid the all too common issue of caregiver burnout. If it were not for Grace Center's services, the majority of participants would be facing nursing home placement which is not their or their family's wish and is a significantly more expensive form of care.
Real Impact:Over 2,800 acres of critically important lands are currently under permanent protection by the Trust.

Problems We Solve
We naturally take on the entrepreneur spirit of problem solving when it comes to our clients. We love to fix stuff. It's in our blood.
Small to mid-sized businesses face ongoing problems with their websites and marketing. A recent WSJ study found more than half (54%) are concerned with "technology outpacing their ability to compete".
A website — that is rooted in technology — can plague a business or help generate profit.
Maslow's "Law of the Hammer" is our constant reminder that we can't solve all those technology and marketing problems.
We refuse to treat every problem as a nail, nor will we blindly swing our hammer. That's not problem solving; that's just trying to shoehorn a solution (and consequentially never solving the crux of the issue).
However, there are a handful of website-related and marketing issues that get our blood pumping. We're confident that our expertise and experience with SMBs (see our client results) can tackle these debilitating problems.

NOK wait and see.
I think we're still in a wait and see position here. There are no technical indications that the stock is reversing its bearish streak. It may take this next quarter, even the one after that, to see if there is any traction. I suspect we'll see $3/per share and a period of trading around that mark at least until the next quarterly earnings report.

UNC hangs on to beat Montana by three
January 20, 2014
Inside the numbers
» Best individual performance: UNC's Lindsay Mallon hit two key 3-point baskets on her way to 12 points. She also pulled down eight rebounds, had three assists and three steals. She also played lock-down defense on Montana's last two possessions.
» Turning point: In the final nine minutes of the first half, the Bears overcame a 13-point deficit and were able to tie the game at 27 at halftime with a 22-9 run.
» What it means: The Bears are still in the hunt to contend for a BSC title and proved they can play with the heavyweights of the conference. They'll have to maintain their momentum and confidence as they go back on the road.
» E TC: UNC's victory snaps a three-game home losing streak. … The Bears' six 3-pointers is a season high. … Montana didn't sink a field goal in the final 2:58 of the game. … The game was tied four times, but the lead only changed hands once. … UNC won the battle on the boards 35-30, but had 18 turnovers to 14 by Montana. … UNC's comeback in the first half is its largest since 2012 at Sacramento State when they overcame an 18-point deficit to win by eight. … Montana's 17 turnovers to 14 assists is only the second time this season the Griz have come up short on the assists-to-turnover ratio. … Mallon's 12 points tied a season high. … Four of Kim Lockridge's seven rebounds came on the offensive end and her six assists were a season high.

The University of Northern Colorado women's basketball team was pressing — literally and figuratively — Saturday afternoon at Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion.
The Bears, coming off one their worst games of the season, played with urgency, exhibited a stiff defense and solved their problems from the perimeter.
Voila — a 57-54 Big Sky Conference victory over the University of Montana.
Saturday's victory, in front of 767 fans, was needed as the Bears improved to 3-4 in BSC play, 9-7 overall. Montana is 3-3, 9-6.
"Whoo," UNC coach Jaime White bellowed just before her postgame press conference, eclipsing her somber outlook after Thursday night's loss to Montana State.
"That's a big game," White said. "It feels good. Our kids did everything to a 'T'. Everything we talked about."
What the Bears did was:
» Arguably turn in their best second-half performance of the season, eventually taking a nine-point lead with 4:44 left to play.
» Hold off a last-minute comeback by the Grizzlies that included some in-your-face defense from guard Lindsay Mallon, who never gave Montana's Haley Vining a chance from beyond the arc as time expired.
» Knock down 6 of 13 from 3-point range, including two each from Mallon and guard Jamie Derrieux. It was a complete turnaround from a 1 for 19 performance on Thursday night.
» Limit Montana to 35.8 percent shooting from the floor, giving up just 12 points in the paint.
» Overcome a 13-point first-half deficit, outscoring the Grizzlies 22-9 in the final nine minutes of the half that included howitzers from Mallon, Duehn and Derrieux along with a soft fade-away in the lane from Lee (15 points, five rebounds, three blocked shots, two steals) with seven seconds left to knot the score at the break.
UNC's starting five of Mallon, Derrieux, Kim Lockridge, Lee and Duehn combined for all but nine of the Bears' points and pulled down 29 rebounds, six at the offensive end to create eight second-chance points.
The Bears' defense was highlighted by an extremely effective pressing-trap defense that eventually led to them using a full-court press.
During that run, White noticed that the Grizzlies' hot hand from the perimeter had cooled down and they suffered from several errant passes.
"I was on the bench during that time because of fouls, but that was fun to watch," said Mallon, who finished with 12 points, eight rebounds, three assists and three steals.
Derrieux sparked the Bears' patient comeback in the first half, scoring all 11 of her points and also saved the Bears a handful of possessions with her ball-hawking defense.
"We knew coming into the game that if we brought some tempo and intensity we could make them struggle a little bit," Derrieux said. "With that sense of urgency … we had it defensively and then got it going toward the end of the first half."
The Bears carried that momentum over into the second half, finally shaking loose of Montana with 10 minutes, 44 seconds left when reserve Kyleigh Hiser went coast-to-coast with layup to put the Bears ahead 41-39.
Lee then side-stepped her way around the paint for two baskets, Mallon drained a 15-footer and Amy Kinder worked the lane for a layup to put the Bears ahead 49-42.
That's when Mallon exhibited her mojo and nailed another 3-pointer that was followed by a second-chance basket by Kidner to give the Berars their biggerst lead, 54-45 with 4:44 left to play.
Montana's Jordan Sullivan (17 points, four rebounds) hit a layup (only her second basket since the first half) and two free throws to pull the Grizzlies to within three.
A double-dribble call on UNC's Hiser in the final seconds gave the Grizzlies one more chance to tie it, but Mallon took care of that with her tight defense on Vining.
"There was only a couple of inches between us," Mallon explained. "I definitely didn't want to foul her."
Added White: "When we went up 41-39 I thought 'We're going to win this.' For us to respond … Lindsay Mallon was 2-for-8 on Thursday and then she comes in ready to play, ready to win and hungry to win. I thought some of Lindsey's (baskets) were big. Gutsy and a lot of effort."

Siliguri, Dec 10 (UNI) A pantry car staff was killed and about 63 passengers were injured, 36 of them seriously, when 13 bogies of the Delhi bound Bramaputra Mail got derailed at Nijabari, about 20 kms west of Siliguri last night, senior Northeast Frontier Railway official said today.
The critically injured, most of whom were security personnel, were admitted to NJP Railway hospital and North Bengal Medical College and Hospital, NFR's Chief Public Relations Officer Trikalogya Rava said. While 28 injured passengers were admitted to NJP hospital, eight were taken to NBMC hospital. The rest injured passengers were released after being given first aid.
Mr Rava said about 1200 to 1300 Delhi-bound stranded passengers were today taken to Katihar by two emergency relief vans and subsequently a special train left Kathihar for Delhi, Mr Rava said.
The accident occurred at 2315 hours last night when 13 compartments were derailed at Nijabari under Rangapani in Darjeeling district.
Preliminary investigation said loose cufflinks led to the accident. However, sabotage was not ruled out. The NFR top officials at the spot ordered a high level inquiry into the mishap.

Is America headed for widespread, involuntary incarceration due to Ebola biowarfare?
July of this year, President Obama signed into law an amendment to the Executive Order 13295, which redefines who can be quarantined and why. This does not bode well for a nation that could potentially face an Ebola pandemic. It smacks of pre-meditated bio-warfare and martial law on a nation's own citizens.
This means that any police officer or 'health official' can, without question, and on suspicion alone, quarantine someone simply for showing any sign of 'respiratory illness.' None other than the war-mongering Bush Administration, first put the order into place, originally meant to quarantine victims of SARS. Ebola just happened to be listed on the original executive order, too, signed by Bush. But now, with the exception of influenza, Americans can be detained for any health concern, including Ebola, even if it is not named as such.
