I remember my first Lobby Day with NBCC, meeting with a politician whose views were very different than my own. Initially nervous, I found the exchange with him to be inviting and warm while offering a platform on which to use my voice. It worked well because we all listened to each other realizing we shared more commonalities than differences. This meeting, in my mind, was powerful not only because we each had our own agendas, but we were all passionate about our personal experiences. However, in that time and place, the strength of the advocate's voices surprised me.
I didn't expect the power of the advocate.
We, the NBCC advocates, were in this office that held such national power, and yet, we were the people educating, informing and displaying a rare form of scientific knowledge not normally found in grassroots advocates. We had been trained by NBCC to speak our points effectively, efficiently and articulately.
I believe this level of action is especially poignant for women since we fought for the right to vote. And when it comes to lobbying and being involved in advocacy, I view it the same way. It is not just my right; it is my responsibility. No one knows why we were "chosen" to receive a diagnosis of breast cancer. Was it a wake up call? Was it part of our pre-determined path? Could it be classified as our purpose in life? I am not sure. But one thing is certain—we made a choice to fight. And we have a way to make our voices heard. We can speak for those who may be too afraid or embarrassed by the word "cancer." We can gather our courage and strike a mighty blow, collectively.
We want to affect policy makers and the best weapons we have are our voices. Although different and personal, our experiences have joined us, and they remain powerful in their significance. With these powerful voices, we CAN put an end to breast cancer. Actually, this is the only way we can succeed. Breast Cancer Deadline 2020® is real and so are we. Let's clear our throats and use our voices to make real change happen.
Often described as "the basic source of support from the ground up," grassroots advocacy has a place in my heart. It has become a part of my life and for that I am grateful, empowered and excited. So, who am I? I am an unexpected lobbyist. Will you join me?

BBB AUTO LINE is an out-of-court program administered by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) system to settle automotive disputes.
A Better Business Bureau is not a government agency, and it receives no
tax dollars. Better Business Bureaus are funded by local business
BBB AUTO LINE does not charge any fee to consumers. To guarantee
impartiality, funding for staff and program administrative costs of BBB
AUTO LINE is committed in advance by the participating companies. BBB
AUTO LINE staff and arbitrators are independent of companies that
participate in BBB AUTO LINE, and perform no duties for these companies
other than providing impartial dispute resolution services.
If you are experiencing a problem with your vehicle that has not been
resolved to your satisfaction, this booklet will tell you about the BBB
AUTO LINE program and how the BBB can help you resolve your dispute.
The BBB will assist in the resolution of your dispute when possible.
However, only certain claims are eligible for arbitration.
Please read all the information sent to you. You will receive a
Customer Claim Form along with a letter that tells you how to complete
it. You also will receive the Program Summary that has been developed
for the company with whom you have a dispute. The Program Summary will
describe the claims that are eligible for arbitration and the remedies
that may be awarded in arbitration.
Upon receipt of the information about your case, a representative from the company may contact you to discuss settlement options.
You and the company representative may explore settlement options directly, or you may be assisted by a representative from the BBB.
If you and the company representative agree to a settlement, please inform the BBB staff person as soon as possible.
BBB staff will work with the consumer and company representative to help the parties take an objective look at issues in dispute and the standards that will be considered by the arbitrator.
The role of the BBB staff is to open communication between you and the company representative and to facilitate the exchange of offers. BBB staff will not comment on whether or not an offer made to you is "fair" or "unfair"; to do so would compromise the BBB's neutrality. Only you can decide whether an offer is satisfactory.
If a settlement is reached at any point, the BBB staff will draft a letter that summarizes the terms of the agreement.
This letter will be sent to both parties, and the BBB staff will follow up with you to confirm the terms of the agreement were carried out.
The settlement process is voluntary, and you may proceed to arbitration (if eligible) at any point.
Arbitration is an informal process in which two parties present their views of a dispute to an impartial third party, an arbitrator, who will decide how the dispute will be resolved.
Companies participating in BBB AUTO LINE have agreed to arbitrate disputes with their customers within defined limits of eligibility and remedies. The company's Program Summary lets you know what is eligible for arbitration if your case reaches arbitration and what remedies may be awarded to you in arbitration.
The issues that the arbitrator may consider in your case will be outlined in a document (titled Agreement to Arbitrate) that will be based on the facts of your case and the eligibility standards set out in the company's Program Summary. The arbitrator will be asked to make a decision that he or she believes is fair based on the facts of your case.
BBB AUTO LINE arbitrators are persons from your community who are interested in the fair and expeditious resolution of consumer disputes. They are trained and certified by the Council of Better Business Bureaus (CBBB).
Your arbitrator will not be an employee or agent of either party. A single arbitrator, or a majority of the panel if a panel is used, will be a person who has no direct involvement in the manufacture, distribution, sale or sevice of any product.
Information about arbitrator qualifications is available upon request.
In some cases, to the extent permitted by state law, the BBB will automatically appoint an impartial technical expert to examine your vehicle prior to the arbitration. (Please check the company's Program Summary.) In other cases, an impartial technical expert may be appointed by agreement of the parties before the hearing. If an impartial technical expert is used before the hearing, all parties will be provided with a copy of the technical expert's report prior to the hearing.
In all cases, you may ask the arbitrator to obtain the assistance of an impartial technical expert. You may make this request at the arbitration hearing, or you may make this request to the BBB, along with reasons supporting your request, at least 14 days prior to the hearing. If both parties or the arbitrator agree a technical expert is needed, the BBB staff will make all necessary arrangements.
Whenever an impartial technical expert participates in the BBB AUTO LINE process, all parties will be given an opportunity to review and comment on the findings and credentials of the technical expert.
Before coming to your arbitration hearing, you should prepare an outline of important points you wish to make as part of your presentation. You may want to use the suggestions at the end of this section to assist you in your preparation.
You should also prepare a list of questions you want to ask the company representative.
Each party should plan to present its position in one hour or less.
The arbitrator will determine the exact format of the hearing, which will
include an opportunity for you to:
The company will be given the same opportunity to present its
case, question you and your witnesses, and rebut testimony or evidence
The arbitrator also will ask questions to clarify uncertain areas
and gain a fuller understanding of the dispute.
After each side has presented its case and the questioning is
completed, you should be prepared to give a summary of your position, deal with
any questions that have not been answered, and tell the arbitrator exactly what
you think the decision should be and why.
Remember, the sole purpose of the hearing is to allow the
arbitrator to gather and sort the facts in order to make a fair decision. You
should be prepared to convince the arbitrator your position is right.
A cooperative approach works best. You are there because you and
the company have a disagreement, but keep that disagreement factual and within
the bounds of common courtesy and conventional language. Arbitrators may not
have technical expertise, so your presentation may be more productive if you
can use "layman's" terms to describe what happened to your vehicle.
Use common sense and professional courtesy as you proceed.
During your presentation at the hearing you should provide testimony and
evidence about the following:
Organize your materials in the order you wish to present them. This will help
you present your case clearly and logically.
Collect and bring to the hearing all available materials relating to your
vehicle's problems.
If you are missing any documents, you may be able to get copies
from your repair shop, bank or credit card company.
Please bring the original of any documents you send to BBB AUTO
LINE. While electronically imaged copies of documents we receive are submitted
to the manufacturer and the arbitrator before the hearing, it may be necessary
to refer to the original document if there is any difficulty in reading the
If you bring to the hearing any documents that you did not
previously send to BBB AUTO LINE, please bring extra copies for the arbitrator
and the manufacturer.
Documents that might be useful include:
Bring anything or anybody that can verify the problem with your
vehicle. It is better to be overprepared than underprepared.
The arbitrator will accept all relevant evidence presented at the
hearing. The arbitrator will decide the importance of each piece of evidence
after the hearing is closed.

In the Tuesday, Nov. 5 election, Airway Heights voters will have the opportunity to choose their mayor for the next four years. Only one candidate filed to run for the next term: Patrick Rushing
Running unopposed, the incumbent Mayor Rushing can point out how the city of Airway Heights has grown over the last four years. With a track record to show new businesses and community involvement, Rushing had one goal in mind when he ran for office four years ago.
"I wanted to be the most effective mayor in the history of the city," he said.
He's served on the city council since 1999.

Bill Maher has to work hard to top himself, but every so often, the pompous ass manages to pull it off.
In mocking the opening of the Bush Library in Dallas, Texas, during his opening monologue Friday — low hanging fruit for this notorious Bush-basher — Maher used the assassination of a U.S. president to take a cheap shot at President G.W. Bush and the entire state of Texas when he said: "The last person in that state to get near a schoolbook was Lee Harvey Oswald."
Here is a brief transcript of Maher's remarks, which are captured in the video below:
"Congratulations have to go out to someone very special, in my life, anyway. For 10 years he was.
This was a big week for our 43rd president, President Larry the Cable Guy. As you know, Wednesday they had the big opening of the Bush Library down in Texas. All five living presidents were there.
It was a once in a lifetime event: a library in Texas.
Oh, I kid. I kid Texas, but the last person in that state to get near a schoolbook was Lee Harvey Oswald."

College Hockey:ECAC Hockey picks: Nov. 15-20
Overall: 20-14-3
All games are 7 p.m. unless noted
Friday, Nov. 15
Cornell at Clarkson
Clarkson shows no sign of slowing down. The Golden Knights have been outstanding defensively and have gotten balanced scoring through their lineup. Cornell has been shutout in its two of its last three games after a strong start, putting a combined 34 shots on goal in those two games. They'll have to do better than that against the Golden Knights. One area to keep an eye on: Cornell has strong power play, while the Golden Knights are average on the penalty kill. Clarkson wins
Dartmouth at Princeton
It's a tossup who needs this game more: the winless Big Green, or the Tigers, who won their opener, but have since lost six straight. I think Dartmouth has a little more depth, but no one is exactly lighting it up for either team, with the exception of Big Green forward Eric Neiley, who has five of his team's 15 goals on the year. Dartmouth wins
Harvard at Quinnipiac
The Crimson have had some solid stretches in the early going, rallying for a 3-3 tie and posting a 2-0 win in back-to-back games against Rensselaer. Raphael Girard and Steve Michalek have split time in net, with Girard being virtually lights out in three games, and Michalek more than holding his own. Whoever gets the start will need to be on top of their game, as the Bobcats have been throwing a ton of shots on net while clamping down in their own end. The Crimson's freshman class might pay off down the road, but Quinnipiac's newcomers appear to have fit right in, a big reason for the Bobcats' early success. Quinnipiac wins
Colgate at St. Lawrence
I think the Saints will win the five-on-five matchup; Greg and Matt Carey are deadly if given room to operate. Both teams have strong power plays, and neither has exactly lit it up on the penalty kill, so whoever can be more disciplined might have the best chance. St. Lawrence wins
Rensselaer at Union
RPI leads the all-time series against its Capital Region rival 45-31-10, but is only 4-18-3 over the last 25 meetings. Union has hit some snags this season, but it's hard to argue with a 3-1 record through the first two weeks of ECAC play. If they can keep their emotions in check, the Dutchmen should start the weekend off with a win. Union wins
Saturday, Nov. 16
Colgate at Clarkson
Colgate has power-play goals in two straight games, but overall, their unit hasn't been the same as it was last year. If the Raiders can straighten it out, they could make this game interesting, but Clarkson has been lights out most of the season. Tough to pick against the Golden Knights. Clarkson wins
Harvard at Princeton
The Crimson have allowed an average of two goals a game, while Princeton has scored an average of two goals per game. I think defense wins out. Harvard wins
Dartmouth at Quinnipiac
Quinnipiac has dominated Dartmouth in Hamden, going 9-2 all-time against the Big Green at home. The Bobcats have been relentless on both ends of the ice, and have fired an average of 35 shots on net per game. That's bad news for a Dartmouth team that is giving up over five goals a game. Quinnipiac wins
Union at Rensselaer
The Engineers got a little too emotional in last year's series with Union, taking some costly penalties. RPI's has shown signs of being a more mature team this season, and they should feed off a strong home crowd. Rensselaer wins
Cornell at St. Lawrence
This is a nice matchup, as Cornell plays a physical style, while St. Lawrence typically uses its speed to create chances. But the Big Red have plenty of skilled players, while the Saints showed they can be physical when I saw them several weeks ago. I think both teams matchup pretty well. Tie
Sacred Heart at Yale
Rensselaer swept Sacred Heart by a combined score of 13-1 in two matchups earlier this year. The Bulldogs might not be at RPI's level just yet, but Yale looks poised for another strong season and shouldn't have much trouble against the Pioneers. Yale wins
Wednesday, Nov. 20
Boston College at Harvard
If the Crimson try to keep up with the Eagles, forget about it. Boston College has plenty of offensive talent throughout its lineup, and has scored five or more goals in nearly half its games entering the weekend. A strong performance by Raphael Girard could steal a win for a young Harvard team, but Boston College looks to be playing a pretty complete game over the last few weekends. Boston College wins

The No. 1 ranked UCLA women's golf team travels to Pullman, WA this weekend looking for its seventh tournament victory of the season and its sixth overall conference championship. Washington State will host the event at the Palouse Ridge Golf Course, Apr. 27-29.
Eight of the 11 Pac-12 teams that field women's golf are ranked among the nation's Top 25 by GolfStat, including No.1 UCLA, No. 3 USC and fourth-ranked Arizona State.
This season the Bruins have won six tournaments, a national leader, and have finished no worse than second place in three other events. One more team title would tie the school record of seven tournament wins set in 2004. In addition, the Bruins are on pace to set a single season school record for team scoring average.
Nearing the end of her 13th season, Head Coach Carrie Forsyth has guided the Bruins to 46 tournament titles during her tenure at UCLA. She also led the Bruins to conference crowns in 2004, '05 and '06. In addition, she has coached the Bruins to 10 straight podium finishes at the conference championship.
This weekend's lineup consists of senior Brianna Do, juniors Lee Lopez and Tiffany Lua, sophomore Ani Gulugian and freshman Erynne Lee.
Do is the reigning U.S. Women's Amateur Publinks champion, who earned a spot on the travel party with a T5 finish at the Bruins' last event, the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate. She is averaging 73.3 in 18 rounds and was ranked 57th by GolfStat this week.
Lopez is enjoying her best season as a college golfer, averaging 72.3 with a team-leading 12 rounds under par and a victory in the Rainbow Wahine Invitational in November. She was ranked sixth nationally by both GolfStat and Golfweek.
Lua, who earned her second selection to the Curtis Cup in December, was ranked eighth nationally by both services earlier this week. She has recorded 11 rounds under par and boasts a scoring average of 72.2.
Gulugian won her first tournament, the PING/ASU event on Apr. 1, and was ranked 27th by GolfWeek and 29th by GolfStat earlier in the week. She is averaging 73.1 with seven Top 20 results in nine starts.
Lee won her last start, the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate, with scores of 68-68-71--207 (-9). She has played 24 rounds this season in just eight-over par and leads the team with a scoring average of 71.9.
The Pac-12 Women's Golf Championship is a five-player, count-four format over 54 holes. The Palouse Ridge Golf Course will play to a par of 72 over 6,200 yards.

anchor for small boat? not really heavy enough to tie the feet of a suitable agent and sink him.
Make up your own mind but I wouldn't own one, I just can't figure out what purpose it serves. Anyhow here's a good video to watch on them . Enjoy.
YouTube - The Judge
Are you absolutely certain that the problem was that of the Glocks?
One thing we are sure the judge excels at is pumping up the bottom line for Taurus.
As far as Glock goes -- I happen to own a few -- once took an old friend shooting. He was an experienced pistol shooter - but used techniques from 40 years ago. He wanted to try my Glock 17. It failed to eject, or failed to load with EVERY shot. I explained all about "Glock Wristing" -- he took umbrage, asking if I - a mere woman - was telling HIM, an "experienced shooter", how to shoot?
Of course, I wanted to enjoy my time at the range -- backed off -- and allowed him to believe the Glock is a nasty, useless gun. The fact I shot magazine after magazine without any issues did not seem to sway him. It was an interesting experience.
After that, whenever he came to town for a visit -- we never took him shooting again -- nor would we.
For what it's worth... I purchased a Judge a little over a year ago after talking to one of the fellas working in the firearms section of an army PX. Told him I was wanting something for house protection but didn't want to be shooting thru the walls either (I have a long modular with bedrooms lined up). He suggested the Judge and I thought (and yes I'm a newbie handgun user) that it sounded like a reasonable tradeoff.
I bought the gun and some home defense 410's(Winchester Elite PDX1) and some .45 long colt's(Winchester Super X 255gr Lead round nose). Waited till my more knowldegeable "kids" showed up for a holiday and brought in their "arsenals" and then did some shooting with it. For me, the Judge is truly a handful (or two, depending); the jolt I initially experienced wasn't as bad as I thought it might be, even in my short stubby-fingered hand, but it was powerful. I shot mainly just to get use to the gun.
Later on, using home-made targets on several ocassions, I've found the the Judge is at least reasonably accurate. Firing from approximately 15 to 20 yards at a 2x2 target with the 410's I could hit the target each time with at least the pellets being closer to center than away. Same with the 45's. Not scientific but served to let me know that should suffice in the house. My main complaint with the Judge is that the recoil "bites" my RH(gunhand) middle finger just above the middle nuckle with the rear of the trigger guard. Haven't found a solution to that yet...
I've since read many articles on this gun, some 'good' and some 'very bad'. Maybe ignorance was bliss in my case? At any rate, I have changed the loading of the gun to one
.410 shell to be followed by four .45's as was suggested in one of the articles. Although I really fail to see how anyone (no matter their size and fortitude) could endure 5 of the .410's, if I were to use them. Hopefully I'll never have to find out one way or the other.
...Then, what's the one .410 load for?
If you intend to follow-up with four rounds of .45 LC, why not just shoot five rounds of .45 LC?
And if you decide to do that, then why use the Judge? Any .45 LC or .45 ACP revolver would be more accurate and less clumsy.
I've heard from all kinds of "experts" on this site and others and have discerned that the idea is to have the first shot scattered just a bit to at least to deter someone from going any further (if not putting them down initially). The next four would be for finishing whatever it was that got started. I tend to be the optimist and hope that the first blast would be the end of it all. I know, there are some macho pro football tackle sized villians out there whom the .410 might not phase. But for the most part, a person isn't going to enjoy getting hit by it from 10 to 15 feet away (and it's my guess they'll be hurt bad enough to quit). And if it's one of those types that takes the time to get ticked off about it, that'll be time enough for the next four.
Now, I know I'm not an expert weapons handler, or a crack shot, or combat trained like a lot of the folks around here but I am at least proficient the one handgun I do have, and can point it straight enough to hit someone 15 to 20 feet away from me (and no, I don't have 10,000 rounds on target to prove anything). Yes, I know there are all kinds of extenuating circumstances... but I'm naive enough to make an educated guess that a thief in my house is going to be a tad bit more nervous than I am and that will give me at least some semblance of an advantage in the situation. I'm not 100% sure... I haven't had to shoot anyone yet... in any situation. Would be nice to hear from all those who "have" had to fend off a home invader and what their actions and reactions were.
If you really need to shoot someone, it is not as a deterrent. It is to quickly end the fight before you get hurt, or someone about whom you care gets hurt.
If there is no need to immediately kill your opponent, you should not fire a shot. Indeed, you probably shouldn't even present the weapon.
So, OK, you wound the guy. Now he's really, really upset at you, and he's right on top of you. You are going to suffer, and probably die. Nice work!
He'll start on your loved ones next.
Do some careful rethinking.
The Judge and Governor what to say about them. As a survival tool they would be great. The ability to fire a duel role of short range game getter and then have a potent .45 LC cartridge for bigger game or SD would be great. Dual caliber survival rifles have been around a long time used by civilian and military alike.
In regards to a SD weapon I think the original intent/marketing was the idea to cover multiple bases with one gun. The shotgun is the ultimate home defense weapon and the large caliber revolver will stop whatever threat there is. Were they right? Not sure.
Playing on a couple notions that you do not have to aim a shotgun just point in the general direction and shotguns don't over penetrate/use bird shot for home defense folks this fills that void. I have fired a couple of them and at close range the SD .410 buckshot load could/would be lethal to an intruder however at longer ranges you would have to know exactly what the gun patterned like with a particular load. Once you fired that round with multiple projectiles a miss could be devastating to the wrong person. The .45 Colt has been around a longtime and is a very good SD round for those that favor a big slower moving bullet.
You still have to aim a shotgun. Generally speaking out of an 18 inch cylinder bore barrel (The typical barrel found on a HD/police issue shotgun) the pattern will spread about one inch for every one yard traveled. This of course can be changed by choke tubes and the type of load. Bird shot fired from a shotgun at bedroom ranges may be as little at three inches in diameter and has the tendency to force it's way through a wall. The front portion of the shot charge destroys the barrier and the tail end goes right through the same hole. If you were close enough a hit with a full load of bird shot could mean a bad day for the receiver but would it stop them? A handgun firing a shot cartridge would/could increase hit potential but you still have to aim. I honestly do not know what the pattern would be on one of the Judges it would all depend on the load and distance.
The two words you have to understand are lethality and incapacitation. Yes a load of shot fired from a handgun could be lethal but it may not incapacitate the threat. There are many documented cases of people that received lethal wounds but kept on coming. Yes they later bled out at the hospital or 2 minutes later in the yard but in that two minutes they killed or injured the victim.
DickO, Steve is correct. If it comes down to a lethal force encounter you are not shooting to deter, wound or otherwise scare the bad guy away. The purpose of you drawing and firing your firearm is to stop the threat. The same thing with warning shots the idea, at least in the old days, was to give the person that moment of pause before you used lethal force. Whatever goes up must come down so to speak. In today's liability conscious world you are responsible for every round you fire.
I don't know if I answered the question or just added fuel to the fire. The gun I did fire if I remember correctly had a pretty stout recoil with the .410 SD load was pretty stout. The guns even in the short barrel versions are pretty big. Whether you have a .22 rifle or a .410 handgun train to use it to the best of your ability.
Like I said... Would be nice to hear from all those who have been in that situation before and how they handled the situation. Speculation is great to talk about (we all do that) but doesn't prove anything.
It is not necessary to actually "see the elephant," to have a pretty good idea about what would happen when the fight starts.
The one time that my own home was about to be subject to a pretty serious invasion, the mere intimation that I was armed was enough to defuse the attempt. One of our sheriff's deputies handled the follow-up.
The one time that I actually needed to present a weapon, maneuver tactically, and prepare to inflict damage, the person who had begun to attack me wisely left the area while I was maneuvering on him.
I am moved to quote, "There is none so blind as those who will not see."
Thanks... For making my point. Most thieves don't "want" to get hurt and tend to shy away when running into what they least expect.
OK, DickO, you're right.
So, according to you, all you need is an empty gun, since you'll never need to fire it. That certainly will keep you from shooting through any interior walls, per your original post.
I'm left with only one question: What did you want from the members of this forum, when you posted your original essay? Were you looking for validation for your purchase and your proposed tactics, or were you just making a statement?
Well, I own a Judge.
I am considering a 9x18 Mak. as a summer CCW. It is a bit bigger than a .380 and seems
to have the same fps as the .45 LC in the Judge. (12 rounds) Many carry a .380 for personal defense.
Would you say a 6-7 shot .380 is not a good weapon for self defense? The ability to throw
10-17 rounds of 9mm or .40 does not equal precise kill shots. Nor do you really need that
many rounds.
Anyway, I have heard of a few incidents where .410 buck shot from the Judge stopped or
killed the attacker. One incident the woman fired bird shot at the guy and he ran even though
he had a gun as well.
I've shot the gun, seen ballistics tests in gel and the Judge with Federal .410 000 buck passed
the penetration tests.
I can keep the .45LC on the chest area of a target at 50 yards. I've shot a possum with the
PDX shell. Did not hit it with the disks (dark, aimed too low) but hit it with the bb's. It has not
been back since.
It's a great FIREARM that can use various rounds and will defend you just fine.
Bullet frontal area and mass are also equally critical criteria, and in that case the 9mm-diameter Makarov bullet falls very short.
And about not needing that many rounds: Have you ever heard of anyone who was in an actual gunfight, who later said: "Well, I guess I was carrying too much ammunition!"? Well, neither have I.
(I don't believe it.)
First and foremost, the Taurus Judge is a joke......plain and simple, but it's still going to appeal to some.
Second, if I find the need to point a gun at someone and subsequently shoot them, it won't be to wound them.
The Judge is a brilliant gimmick that takes advantage of the belief by the uninitiated that the .410 is almost as devastating as a 12 gauge shotgun round fired from a full sized shotgun. It is not. A .410 shell loaded near the maximum with No. 6 shot is an adequate round for small game, when fired from a 28" full choke shotgun, at short range. Put that same round in a pistol with a rifled barrel, it becomes an adequate snake or rat load at a distance of about 10 feet. Beyond that, the rifled barrel causes a hole in the pattern that could leave a squirrel or bird completely untouched with a perfectly aimed shot.
Would it stop the average human predator? Maybe...probably, if that attacker was not drugged up, or not very committed. But, if it did stop him, it would be due to pain and fear, rather than an incapacitating injury, unless it blinded him. Does that make it a good choice for self defense? No, it puts it in the category of a lot of other weak or unwieldy weapons - better than nothing, but not very confidence inspiring.
Of course, if the attacker is as ignorant as the defender about its capabilities, he might die of fright, or run away screaming like a little girl.
..never mind.
Guys it is a snake gun. .410 for crawly snakes, .45 for 2 legged snakes. I'd rather have a Blackhawk but if the Judge turns you on, why not. I'd buy the S&W if I just had to have one. I'm not a Taurus fan.

I need to organize a large number of scanned receipts. The receipts are scanned in PDF, and I need is software that will intelligently look at a document and parse out date, location / vendor, total amount paid, etc. The key is that these fields need to extracted from each document for tabulation; it isn't enough to just have them OCRed for search purposes.
I think I am essentially looking for similar functionality as is in the NeatReceipts scanners, but without the need to do the scanning. Are there any 3rd party tools for doing this sort of specialized parsing or OCR?

Ssscrape 1.0 Collects Dynamic Web Data
The Ssscrape tool screen-scrapes data from RSS and Atom feeds, blogs and podcasts. The open source software is now available in version 1.0.
Ssscrape tracks feeds and other collections for similar elements on updates, and downloads and cleans content by converting HTML to plain text. The database used is MySQL. The tool can also gather statistics about feed activities and report errors. A scheduler takes care of the periodic checks and a monitor displays the running activities.
Known as a Web crawler, a program that scrapes together information off the Web, Ssscrape is short for Syndicated and Semi-Structured Content Retrieval and Processing Environment. The Web scraper is written in Python with Twisted used for network programming and the not always standards-based Beautiful Soup used for parsing HTML/XML content.
Ssscrape was developed in the Information and Language Processing Systems (ILPS) department of the University of Amsterdam and is under LGPLv3 licensing. Ssscrape 1.0 requires Python 2.4 and is available for download as a tarball from the project page.

flooding an embedded device with isic and tcpreplay causing different results
- From: wlet <wlet@xxxxxxx>
- Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2009 13:37:23 +0100
Hi everybody,
I'm trying to force a reload of an embedded SOHO router/NAT Gateway.
This is what I've done so far:
I flodded the device with isic and captured the packet flow. About 60s
later the device rebooted (obviosly because of a memory overload). I
stopped the packet capture, rebooted the SOHO and fired the pcap with
tcpdump again to the SOHO.
This behavior is reproducible - I did that scenario alt least 5 times.
So, now I wondering why the tcpreplay attack don't f*** up the SOHO.
I've 2 theories:
1. The tcpdump isn't complete because of "dropped by kernel" packets -
and these are the packets which are forcing the reload
2. tcpreplays performance is weaker than that of isic - this causes less
networkload and that is not enough to grill SOHOs mem.
these are the statistics of isic:
root@machine:/root# isic -s rand -d 192.168.1.1 -r 1337 -F 100 -I -V
284000 @ 5109.4 pkts/sec and 3321.4 k/s
Caught signal 2
Used random seed 1337
Wrote 284003 packets in 69.00s @ 4116.05 pkts/s
and these are the captured packets from tcpdump:
root@machine:/root# tcpdump -i eth0 -n -s0 -w /root/crash.pcap
tcpdump: listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size
65535 bytes
268004 packets captured
283995 packets received by filter
15991 packets dropped by kernel
there is the output of tcpreplay (replaying the captured *.pcap)
root@machine:/root# tcpreplay -i eth0 crash.pcap
sending out eth0
processing file: crash.pcap
Actual: 268004 packets (180061091 bytes) sent in 74.45 seconds
Rated: 2418422.2 bps, 18.45 Mbps/sec, 3599.59 pps
Statistics for network device: eth0
Attempted packets: 268004
Successful packets: 268004
Failed packets: 0
Retried packets (ENOBUFS): 0
Retried packets (EAGAIN): 0
As you can see at the statistic of tcpreplay and isic, that tcpreplay
sends out about 500pkt/s less than isic.
Do you have an idea why my SOHO do not break down while pounding it with

WEDNESDAY WILDLIFE - HORNED GREBE Description The Horned Grebe is a small grebe with a straight bill, thick neck, and squarish head. In breeding plumage, Horned Grebes have rufous necks and bellies, gray backs, and black heads with a solid yellow patch from each eye to the back of the head. Juveniles are gray-buff, with the lower half of the face white. Non-breeding adults are gray-black with white on the lower half of the face and neck. Habitat In winter Horned Grebes are usually found on salt water in coastal bays and exposed shores, and far less commonly on fresh water. During the nesting season they inhabit lakes with a mix of open water and wetland vegetation. Behavior Less gregarious than the similar Eared Grebe, Horned Grebes are intensely territorial on their nesting grounds. Like other grebes, Horned Grebes engage in elaborate courtship displays. Diet In summer Horned Grebes feed mostly on insects and crustaceans, which they catch under water. In winter they eat fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and some insects. Nesting Together males and females build a nest in marsh vegetation. The nest is a floating pile of wet plant material, anchored to emergent vegetation. The female lays four to five eggs, and both parents help incubate the eggs for 22 to 25 days. Both parents feed the young, which can swim shortly after hatching and often ride on the parents' backs. The young can fly at 55 to 60 days.

Gurudwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha Model Town Extension
For Model Town Extension Sikh community, faith goes beyond the tiny aboard of guru and god. Doors at the Gurudwara are open to anyone, who put in a small contribution and is ready to serve fellow human beings. No wonder you feel immense peace and joy in this temple, where one has to cover the head as a mark of respect to the gurus and the humanity.
Located in Model Town Extension, near Krishna Mandir, the Gurudwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha's splendour gradually unfolds as you walk through the doors. A flight of stairs leads you to the congregation hall; the three domes above stand as palpable symbols of Sikh architecture. On a well-decorated pedestal in the western corner of this hall lies Sri Guru Granth, which Sikhs regard as their 11th Guru. From this hall, the stairway descends into Langar or dining hall that can accommodate 300 people at a time.
Gurudwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha, Model Town Extn. is one of the famous sabha among other two or three in Ludhiana City. Within less than 12 years from 1987 to 1998, this institution has achieved so many milestones. The residents of Model Town & nearby areas helped whole-heartedly and the enormous & magnificent building of Gurudwara Singh sabha has been beautifully constructed with latest techniques & design on 4825 Sq. Yards plot. Gradually it came up with magnificent buildings and a vast area is transformed into most modern & spiritual campus to make a more humane, pure and positive world through Gurbani recitations and other religious & social activities.
This Gurudwara is quite famous in arranging very big Kirtan Darbars & Religious Programs from time to time. Almost all the renowned Ragis, Dhadis, Religious thinkers have given their precious time for this institution. The Guru's divine Shabad is recited here in the mornings to the musical accompaniments. A task that requires skill and elegance, the recital is performed by a skillful Granthi appointed by the committee that runs the Gurudwara.

Check out some funny pregnancy jokes and enjoy the humor. The pregnancy jokes are hilarious enough to bring atleast a smile on your face. So without taking much of your precious time, Top54u team brings to you some funny jokes on pregnancy. We hope you would love some, if not all, of them. Do let us know which joke was good, which joke was cool and which one just made you LOL!
Does pregnancy cause migraine as well as piles? "Pregnancy causes anything you want to blame it for."
Man: My wife is six months pregnant and so moody that sometimes she behaves illogically and psychologically unstably.Doctor: So what's your question?
What is the easiest way to figure out exactly when you got pregnant? "Have sex once a year."
A Husband made a call to the Hospital to know about his pregnant Wife. But accidentally the call went to a Cricket stadium. He asked, "What is the condition?" He fainted after hearing the reply, which said, "7 are already out...3 more to get after Lunch...and...two were Ducks..."
Pregnant daughter: Does pregnancy affect a woman's memory?Mother: I don't remember.
What did the blonde say to her doctor when he told her she was pregnant? "Is it mine?"
A married couple went to the hospital together to have their baby delivered. Upon their arrival, the doctor said he had invented a new machine that would transfer a portion of the mother's labor pain to the father. He asked if they were willing to try it out. They were both very much in favor of it. The doctor set the knob to 10 percent for starters, explaining that even 10 percent was probably more pain than the father had ever experienced before. But as the labor progressed, the husband felt fine, so he asked the doctor to go ahead and bump it up a notch. The doctor then adjusted the machine to 20 percent pain transfer. The husband was still feeling fine. The doctor checked the husband's blood pressure and pulse and was amazed at how well he was doing. At this, they decided to try for 50 percent. The husband continued to feel quite well. Since it was obviously helping out his wife considerably, he encouraged the doctor to transfer ALL the pain to him. The wife delivered a healthy baby with virtually no pain. She and her husband were ecstatic. When they got home, they got the news that the handsome man, who used to live in their neighborhood, died under mysterious circumstances.
Lady: I am three months pregnant when will my baby move?Doctor: With any luck, right after finishing the high school.
A tense man spoke frantically into the phone, "My wife is eight months pregnant and she is crying in pain!" "Is this her first child?" the doctor asked."No!" the man shouted, "This is her husband!"
A lady goes to her doctor who verifies that she is pregnant. This is her first pregnancy. The doctor asks her if she has any questions. She replies, "Well, I'm a little worried about the pain. How much will childbirth hurt?"The doctor answered, "Well, that varies from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy and besides, it's difficult to describe pain.""I know, but can't you give me some idea?" she asks."Grab your upper lip and pull it out a little...""Like this?""A little more...""Like this?""No. A little more...""Like this?""Yes. Does that hurt?""A little bit."
"Now stretch it over your head!"Also read Top 10 Doctor Jokes as well as Hilarious baby Jokes to laugh out loud!

A moving testament that age should not deter anyone from reaching their educational goals, Cora Sue Mitchell, 71, of Helena, was among the 2013 GED graduates of the Adult and Developmental Education program at Phillips Community College of the University of Arkansas (PCCUA) on Thursday, May 9. PCCUA Adult Education Director Cyrus Vance noted that this year's GED graduating class ranged in age from 17-71. Accompanied to her graduation ceremony by a host of family members of all ages, Mitchell said, "I am 71 years old and always regretted not fishing high school and getting my diploma. At age 70, I found myself at a loss with nothing to fill my time. I had just lost my grandson, Chaz Hunter Moneymaker, to Batten Disease. I had spent the last 18 years helping take care of Chaz. When he was gone, I found my days long and unbearable." She added that was when she decided to go to Phillips College and get her GED. "I can't say it was easy for me, because it wasn't," she said tearfully. "But, I was determined, and with the help of Mrs. Williams (Trece), who showed me endless patience and understanding, I pulled through. Thank you, Mrs. Williams. I would also like to thank Mr. Vance for his kindness and encouragement to reach my goal." Mitchell also thanked her family for their faith and support and added that she hoped her personal achievement would encourage as least one person to follow their dreams and reach their goals. In closing, she stated, "I would like to dedicate my diploma to the memory of my grandson, Chaz, who never got the chance to get a diploma of his own."

The Mouse that Roared
By Christopher Sergel
The tiny Alpine Duchy of Grand Fenwick has a problem: Their world famous wine, only export and source of income, is being undersold by a winery in San Rafael, California. Never fear—the Grand Duchess has a solution—the army, a rag tag band of medieval archers, will attack the United States. (After all, everyone knows that any country defeated in war by the U.S. ends up becoming very wealthy.) Only the unthinkable happens—the archers attack the U.S. ...and they win! Tickets are $20 for general admission; $15 seniors; $10 students, staff, and alumni.
