Generic Name: canagliflozin (KAN-a-gli-FLOE-zin)
Brand Name: Invokana
Canagliflozin is used for:
Treating type 2 diabetes in certain patients. It is used along with diet and exercise.
Canagliflozin is a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. It works by decreasing the amount of sugar the body absorbs, and increasing the amount of sugar that leaves the body in the urine.
Do NOT use canagliflozin if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in canagliflozin
- you have type 1 diabetes
- you have high blood or urine ketone levels (diabetic ketoacidosis)
- you have severe liver problems or severe kidney problems, or if you are on dialysis
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using canagliflozin:
Some medical conditions may interact with canagliflozin. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have kidney or liver problems, low or high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or high potassium blood levels
- if you have a history of yeast infections of the penis or vagina, or if you are a man who has not been circumcised
- if you are dehydrated or if you are on a low salt (sodium) diet
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with canagliflozin. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Insulin or other oral diabetes medicine (eg, repaglinide, glipizide) because the risk of high or low blood sugar may be increased
- Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (eg, lisinopril), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) (eg, losartan), or diuretics (eg, furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide, spironolactone) because the risk of low blood pressure or high potassium levels may be increased
- Phenytoin, phenobarbital, rifampin, or ritonavir because they may decrease canagliflozin's effectiveness
- Digoxin because the risk of its side effects may be increased by canagliflozin
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if canagliflozin may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use canagliflozin:
Use canagliflozin as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Canagliflozin comes with an extra patient information sheet called a Medication Guide. Read it carefully. Read it again each time you get canagliflozin refilled.
- Take canagliflozin by mouth before the first meal of the day, unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
- Check with your doctor to see if you should drink extra fluids while taking canagliflozin.
- Take canagliflozin on a regular schedule to get the most benefit from it. Taking canagliflozin at the same time each day will help you remember to take it.
- Continue to take canagliflozin even if you feel well. Do not miss any doses.
- If you miss a dose of canagliflozin, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use canagliflozin.
Important safety information:
- Dizziness may occur while you take canagliflozin. This effect may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use canagliflozin with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
- Canagliflozin may cause dizziness, light-headedness, or fainting; alcohol, hot weather, exercise, or fever may increase these effects. To prevent them, sit up or stand slowly, especially in the morning. Sit or lie down at the first sign of any of these effects.
- Carry an ID card at all times that says you have diabetes.
- Follow the diet and exercise program given to you by your health care provider. Proper diet, regular exercise, and regular blood sugar testing are important for best results with canagliflozin.
- Check your blood sugar levels as directed by your doctor. If they are often higher or lower than they should be and you take canagliflozin exactly as prescribed, tell your doctor.
- Do NOT take more than the recommended dose without checking with your doctor.
- It may be harder to control your blood sugar during times of stress such as fever, infection, injury, or surgery. Talk with your doctor about how to control your blood sugar if any of these occur. Do not change the dose of your medicine without checking with your doctor.
- Be careful not to become dehydrated, especially during hot weather or while you are being active. Dehydration may increase the risk of canagliflozin's side effects.
- If vomiting or diarrhea occurs, you will need to take care not to become dehydrated. Contact your doctor for instructions.
- Tell your doctor or dentist that you take canagliflozin before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.
- Canagliflozin usually does not cause low blood sugar. However, low blood sugar may occur when it is used along with certain other medicines for diabetes (eg, insulin, sulfonylureas). Low blood sugar may make you anxious, sweaty, weak, dizzy, drowsy, or faint. It may also make your heart beat faster; make your vision change; give you a headache, chills, or tremors; or make you hungrier. It is a good idea to carry a reliable source of glucose (eg, tablets or gel) to treat low blood sugar. If this is not available, you should eat or drink a quick source of sugar like table sugar, honey, candy, orange juice, or nondiet soda. This will raise your blood sugar level quickly. Tell your doctor right away if this happens. To prevent low blood sugar, eat meals at the same time each day and do not skip meals.
- Canagliflozin will cause your urine to test positive for glucose. Be sure your doctor and lab personnel know you are taking canagliflozin.
- Lab tests, including kidney function, fasting blood glucose, hemoglobin A1c, and complete blood cell counts, may be performed while you use canagliflozin. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
- Use canagliflozin with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its effects, including dizziness.
- Canagliflozin should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN younger than 18 years old; safety and effectiveness in these children have not been confirmed.
- PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using canagliflozin while you are pregnant. It is not known if this medicine is found in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while you are taking canagliflozin.
Possible side effects of canagliflozin:
All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:
Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:
Increased urination.
Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, throat, or tongue; unusual hoarseness); fainting; genital (vagina or penis) discharge, itching, rash, pain, or irritation; irregular heartbeat; muscle weakness; severe or persistent headache or dizziness; symptoms of kidney problems or urinary tract infection (eg, change in the amount of urine produced, difficult or painful urination, unusual or persistent pain in the mid- to lower back, unexplained swelling); unusual tiredness or weakness.
This is not a complete list of all side effects that may occur. If you have questions about side effects, contact your health care provider. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088. You may also report side effects at http://www.fda.gov/medwatch .
If OVERDOSE is suspected:
Contact 1-800-222-1222 (the American Association of Poison Control Centers), your local poison control center, or emergency room immediately.Proper storage of canagliflozin:
Store canagliflozin at room temperature, between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C). Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep canagliflozin out of the reach of children and away from pets.
General information:
- If you have any questions about canagliflozin, please talk with your doctor, pharmacist, or other health care provider.

It seems a lot of people had very high hopes for this film. Critics certainly predicted it would have a presence come awards season. Matthew McConaughey definitely had big ambitions as he continues to chase the ever-elusive Oscar predicted for him so many years ago. Most important, audiences had the bar set high in anticipation of a thought-provoking, touching and beautifully acted film. All I can say is, don't shoot the messenger.
Ron Woodruff (McConaughey) is without question a piece of work. In 1985, he is a fast-living, hard-drinking, promiscuous, recreational drug user in a working-class Texas town. Shortly after a workplace accident lands him in the hospital, he is diagnosed HIV-positive and given 30 days to live. Here's where things get complicated.
When Woodruff discovers that alternative treatments are more effective for his condition than the current drug AZT, he gets an idea. He decides to import and sell the alternative treatments—not illegal, but not FDA-approved—through a buyers' club membership system. Woodruff wants to get well, but he also wants to get rich. With the help of an endearing pre-operative transsexual, Rayon (Jaren Leto), and the support of a frustrated doctor, Eve Saks (Jennifer Garner), Woodruff goes into business.
The acting is fine. The only performance that truly seems Oscar-worthy is Leto's snippy, tormented Rayon—the performance is staggering. The problem with the movie is that it's never really sure what it wants to be. It's not a film about the little guy triumphing over the evil corporate Goliath. It's not a gut-wrenching love story about losing someone far too soon. And it's not a story about the early missteps on every level that inadvertently fueled the AIDS epidemic. In short, it's not Philadelphia. It's a 5.

Thievery Corporation concert poster by EMEK. But to call it a poster doesn't do it justice. First, it supposedly has a tracking device to discourage resale. Second, it's screen printed on clear plexiglass. You can see it animated here, to get a better sense of the fact that it's printed on plexiglass.

GUYS, READ MY PROFILE TO SEE THE INTRODUCTION OF THE STORY, I AM PLANNNG TO MAKE A "REAL" TITLE HERE'S A LINK: http://deadspace.wikia.com/wiki/User:101st_Mitsunari
"Ahh shit! The glass is about to break!" Private James Pendergraft said. "I'm pretty sure you're basic security RIG will protect you!" Dakota replied. The glass had a crack, getting larger as the Pack was banging on the glass. "Hurry up, you damn contamination!"James yelled. A transmission was sentnto James and Dakota."You alright up there?" Hunter asked. "Well, these creatures are trying to break the glass in the decontamination room,sir!" Dakota answered. "Do you have the situaton under control?" Hunter asked again. 3 Pack were gathered around the window, banging on it. "Ummm... Yeah?" James replied. "Alright, Wait- STEVE! GET THE FUCK OUTTA THERE!" Hunter yelled. The transmission ended.
The pack broke through the window. "Oh shit!" Dakota yelled. Dakota fired a grenade from his Pulse Rifle, killing 6 pack. Having no idea James was being killed by a Slasher Dakota continued to fight. Blood was being sprayed from the limbless pack. After the fight, Dakota noticed James wasn't there, only seeing blood where he was standing. "James!? JAMES!? Da Fuck!?" He yelled. He felt an immense pain in his back, and while looking down, seeing a slashers blade piercing through his Rigs armor. "I...Hate....Kids..." Dakota said while falling down.
Dakota saw that his rig was red, and used a medium med pack. He noticed he wasn't in the room he was while being stabbed, instead in a vent. A security guards body was beside him, and he looked at his armor. It read: Private James Pendergraft. His body had been split in half. He crawled out of the vent, only to be greeted by a redish rock lying on the ground. He picked it up, only to have an severe headache. He dropped it. He contacted Hunter."You there Sarge?" Dakota asked. "Yeah, Steven is bleeding pretty bad, but I gave him a med pack and he's feeling a bit better. He can walk now." Hunter said. "James is KIA." Dakota said, quickly. "What? You're kidding me, right?" Hunter said in disbelief. "No sir." Dakota answered. "Well...May he rest in peace." Hunter said.
The leader of Delta platoon contacted Hunters squad saying:
"Gamma squad! We need help over at the engineering bay! We have 17 casualties, and have 7 other soldiers left!" The leader said. Dakota told the leader: "Hold tight, I'm sure the rest of my squad is coming too!" "Okay- Wait! What the fuck!? Shoot it! Open fire! Fire at will! Well, don't fire at will, just shoot RIGHT NOW!" The leader yelled to the rest of his platoon while a Tripod appeared from a large door. Dakota contacted Hunter saying: "Did you get that transmission?" "Yeah." "We're going to assist them, I'm hoping you're doing the same?" "I am sir." Dakota replied. "Alright then, regroup with Delta Platoon." Hunter commanded Steve and Dakota.
Dakota ran through a hallway, only to be greeted by A large Brute. "Holy shit!!" He yelled. He quickly contacted Hunter saying "Got a delay here, can't respond right now!". This brute was almost 2 times as large as a normal, having almost 20 bodies packed into it. Dakota saw a VERY large window, and thought: "Maybe this shit can't breath in space!" He shot the window with his Pulse rifle, and it sucked the brute right out. Then he crawled toward a door, and opened it. When the door shut, the room had oxygen again.
Dakota took a deep breath. He contacted Hunter again. "Sir, I'm close to you're location." Dakota told Hunter. "Great, we'll wait here for you." Hunter replied. He ended the transmission. Dakota walked to the door to the left, and saw a narrow hallway. As he walked down it, he had another intense headache. Then he had to take his helmet off, because he felt a feeling that he was about to puke. He felt something going up his throat, and then he threw up, containing blood. "Must be because I was stabbed..." Dakota told himself.
When he exited the hallway, he saw Steve and Hunter waiting for him. "You ready?" Hunter asked. "Yes sir." Dakota told Hunter, while putting his helmet back on. Hunter opened the door, while Dakota and Steve were following. When they entered the Engineering Bay, they were aimed at by a Security Guard. "Oh, Gamma squad, we have alot of casualties, we got a barricade set up to keep those creatures away!" The Guard said.
"We also blocked the vents." The guard said. "Good." Steve said. In the distance, someone yelled, most likely a Security guard, "What the hell!? Theirs this one Fucker that is regenerating! Keep shooting!". Another person yelled: "I'm almost outta ammo! Keep those Exploding things away! I said-- Why didn't you shoot it you dumbass!? Now go grab another object and place it there!" And yet another scream: "But sir- Oh god! Oh god! Get it off me! Get it the fuck off me! AH! Someone help!" Gunshots were being fired constantly, and more screams and growls were coming from below the bay.
"Well, gamma, Theirs so many Creatures on this Ship that we can't risk all of these creatures getting on the Sprawl. Oh, and by the way, we have 5 soldiers down there, and we would really need more Soldiers down there." The Security guard said. "Hey guys, I have some sort of Sniper Rifle, I'll stay up here and provide support." Dakota said. Hunter and Steve nodded, almost exactly at the same time.The barricade was made of Riot shields, sandbags, luggage, and other debris. Dakota looked down and saw 7 Security guards, and thinking the 2 on the right were Steve and Hunter. There were also 19 bodies behind the Security Guards. Dakota took aim through the scope, and blew the arm off a Pregnant. The pregnant attempted to let his payload out but failed, because Dakota shot it's other arm off. A whole line of Stalkers started to charge in a line. "Shoot the fuck out of them!" Yelled a security guard. Dakota took the leg off a stalker, then finally shooting it in the head, killing it. A Stalker slammed into a shield and nearly broke it in half, and then a Security guard shot it to death with a Pulse rifle. All of the stalkers were killed. Then a wall broke in front of the Barricade. "Oh my god! What the fuck!? HOLY SHIT!!!" Was the many examples of screams. What looked like a Very large group of necromorphs(Much like the one in chapter 13.) started to rush in. "SHOOT THEM!" Yelled someone. The security guards all shot at the charging Necromorphs.
The shield the Stalker rammed into, was the first to be broken. The Security guard was cut in half from a Slashers blade. The whole thing was a disaster. The Security guard beside him had to shoot the Slasher that killed the Security guard, taking his attention off the charging necromorphs, resulting in him having his leg stabbed by a Lurker's tentacles and then was stabbed in the neck, causing decaptitation.
Someone yelled: "Form a box! Form a fucking box!" Dakota continued to shoot the necromorphs, occasionally shooting the biggest necromorph, such as a Tall Puker or Pregnant. All of the security guards below formed a box, while the ones on the side shot the Necromorphs that attempted to flank the other guards. Dakota noticed a Necromorph that standed out. It was an Exploder. Dakota thought: "What would happen if I shot that sack on his arm?" He decided to. He shot the sack, causing a large explosion, killing man necromorphs. An extremely quick transmission was sent by Hunter "Good shot!" Hunter said before ending the transmission.Suddenly a female Tripod appeared, and marched through the necromorphs, occasionally killing some. The Tripod lifted its tongue, and forced its tongue through a riot shield, stabbing a Security guard. The tongue lifted up the Guard, breaking up the formation. The guard yelled: "Shoot it! For gods sake, fucking shoot it!" The other guards focused its attention to the tripod. The tripod threw the Security guard up in the air, tearing him to pieces.
"FALL BACK!!!" A guard yelled. The security guards dropped their shields and ran to Dakotas area. A security guard tripped in the chaos, and then he was absorbed into the Necromorph group, most likely dying. As a security guard ran by him, he said "Dakota, come on! Steves in front of you, and he's really slow!" Hunter yelled to Dakota. Dakota started to sprint toward Hunter. He passed him after about 4 seconds. "Where are we going!?" Steve asked. "We're going back to the sprawl!" Hunter told Steve. "But what about the creatures that are coming after us!?" Dakota asked. "It doesn't matter! Tiedemann won't be happy though!" Hunter answered. They continued running until they were back in the Sprawl. The squad looked back and saw the other security guards still running, but their was less security guards then before. As they entered the Concourse, Hunter told the squad to stop. Hunter contacted Tiedemann. "Sir, we have many casualties! We need reinforcements!" Hunter begged Tiedemann. "I'm sorry, Seargent Derrick, but all of the remaining security guards are in the Evac operation. The nearest one near you and you're squad is in the room to the right, they need much help with evacuating the civilians. It's another docking bay. 6 other squads are there, so you could bet there is many Necromorphs there, too." Tiedemann said. "Necromorphs?" Dakota asked. "Nevermind. Director Tiedemanm out." Tiedemann said before ending the transmission."Well, lets go." Hunter said while walking to the room toward the right. "Tiedemann must be hiding something." Steve said. " I think what he means is the names of these creatures are Necromorphs." Hunter told Steve. When the squad entered the room, many Security guards were fighting off many [[Twitchers] and Security Slashers. "Damn." Dakota remarked, while reloading his Pulse rifle. As they walked toward the Security guards, one screamed out: "Make sure that transport gets out of here! Wait, No! No! Fuck no! Kill that thing that went into the ship!" A security guard said right before being decapitated by a Twitcher. "Come on!" Hunter told Steve and Dakota. They ran towards the security guards even faster, while still firing at the Necromorphs.
2 Security guards went into the ship. Screams were being heard from it. Then an arm flew out of the door. "Dammit, keep moving!" Hunter told them again. "Yes sir!" Dakota said while running. They were still 70 meters away from the Security guards. The ship started to take off. "Holy shit!" Screamed Steve, "Fuck!" Hunter yelled. "Fuckin--" Dakota screamed. Oddly, they all said that at the same time. The ship exploded, incinerating the Necromorphs and Security Guards alike. "No!" Yelled Hunter. Hunter sent a transmission to Tiedemann, saying: "Sir, the evac ship just exploded!" "What?You can't be serious." Teidemann said. "Sir I AM serious!" Hunter told teidemann. "Well... I have a new mission. The Titan mines are under attack, and that's really close to the Government sector. A new security guard is coming to meet you. His name is Jacobson Higgons. He's a private. Good luck." Teidemann told hunter before shutting off the transmission.
An door open. "Is this Gamma squad, 71D?" A security guard holding a pulse rifle asked. "Yeah." Dakota told him. "I'm Jacobson Higgons. Just call me Jacob. Oh, I'm a private too!" The security guard said. "Well, welcome to the squad." Hunter told Jacob. "Welcome." Steve said. "Were going to Titan mines. I hear theirs a shit load of these creatures down there." Dakota said. "Alright guys, let's go." Hunter commanded. When the squad entered an elevator, a Drag Tentacle picked up Hunter by the foot. "Oh my fucking god!" Jacob yelled. "Ah hell! Help!" Hunter yelled. Dakota and Jacob grabbed hunters hands while attempting to pull him away. Steve tried to stop the elevator, but Hunter was knocked down by the Drag tentacle and was nearly dragged out, but then when the elevator started and started moving, his waist was near the floor by the elevator, and then when it went down a few feet, it ripped hunter in half, leaving hunters top half in the elevator. Hunter then proceeded with his last words: "I'm not gonna make it...Just tell my child...My wife...To stay safe..." Hunter said. Hunter died of shock and blood loss. "Oh shit!" Steve yelled. "Well...Fuck...I'm contacting Tiedemann..." Dakota said. "WHYYYY!?WHYYYY!?The few minutes with this leader was a good one..." Jacob said sarcastically. "Shut the fuck up! Hunter was a good friend to me, this isn't anything to fucking joke about!" Steve yelled. Jacob looked down in disappointment. "Teidemann! Hunter just died!" Tiedemann looked busy, in fact, he said to another Security guard, "Send more people to kill him!" "Sir!"Dakota yelled. "Wait, what? Oh I'm sorry. I didn't notice somebody was contacting me. "Hunters dead!" "Oh wow. Seriously...Fuck! He was one of my best soldiers! Know what, you can be leader. I'm tired of this. I'm losing too many good soldiers, and being contacted constantly, and having to deal with another classified project!" Teidemann said. "Thank you sir, and...I'm sorry if I bothered you." Dakota said. "Okay.Okay... Director Teidemann out.
"Well, looks like I'm a sergeant now." Dakota said. "Oh wow. Fucking Tiedemann..." Steve Mumbled while waiting for the elevators door to open. "Well then Sergeant Dakota, what's our missions objective?" Jacob asked. "Hunter told you." Dakota told Jacob. "May Hunter Derrick rest in peace..." Dakota said. The door opened. Alright Gamma, stick together and terminate all hostiles!" Dakota told everyone.
"Yes sir." Steve said. Wait... Is that...Nope. That's not my brother.He's also a security guard." Jacob said. "Please, shut the fuck up." Dakota said. Jacob sighed. "Yes sir..." Jacob said. A creature moved from one rock to another rock. "Watch you're back." Steve said.

Spicers warms up the market
Spicers' owner Sterling Grace, is warming up the market with talk of an IPO.
Tuesday, October 9th 2001, 1:08AM
Sterling Grace Portfolio Management Group, the company which owns Spicers, is considering its options for raising more capital, including an IPO on the Australian Stock Exchange.
Sterling Grace is made up of financial planning firm Spicers, investment managers Arcus and administration service provider Assure, as well as Monitor Money in Australia.
Currently the group has about A$2.6 bill in funds under management.
The company is currently 73% owned by US investment group Sterling Grace.
Sterling Grace Portfolio Management has an information memorandum in the market place as part of its capital raising exercise.
The company's default position is that it will do an IPO and list on the ASX with a secondary listing in New Zealand.
However, because of uncertain market conditions a likely IPO has been put back from the fourth quarter of this year to early next year. Also the company is keeping its options including staying as a private company or getting a new cornerstone shareholder instead of proceeding with an IPO.
A new cornerstone shareholder could be either a private equity group, a firm currently in the business or a group of high net worth individuals.
Capital raised would be used to fund expansion including the buy-out of the 50% of Monitor Money the group doesn't own.
Sterling Grace took a 50% stake in Monitor Money's parent, Invest Assure 18 months ago is now moving to full ownership.
The business is evenly split between Australia and New Zealand at present, however the local business accounts for about two thirds of revenue.
Sterling Grace says future growth will come in Australia, hence its desire to list on the ASX.
UBS Warburg has been appointed as advisers to the deal.
Former Spicers boss Craig Dawson left the company earlier this year.

The White House politely shot down the secession petitions circulating on the White House petition website late Friday, dashing the hopes of malcontents who have submitted petitions to allow their states to withdraw from the union in the wake of President Obama's reelection last November.
"Democracy can be noisy and controversial. And that's a good thing," wrote Jon Carson, director of the White House's Office of Public Engagement. "Free and open debate is what makes this country work...But as much as we value a healthy debate, we don't let that debate tear us apart."
Carson offered the would-be secessionists a history lesson, explaining that the Constitution guarantees "the right to change our national government through the power of the ballot - a right that generations of Americans have fought to secure for all. But they did not provide a right to walk away from it."
He also invoked the sad history of the Civil War as a cautionary tale for those who would so casually seek a repeat of our bloodiest conflict, writing, "More than 600,000 Americans died in a long and bloody civil war that vindicated the principle that the Constitution establishes a permanent union between the States."
"So let's be clear," Carson wrote, "No one disputes that our country faces big challenges, and the recent election followed a vigorous debate about how they should be addressed."
"We will need to work together - and hear from one another - in order to find the best way to move forward."

Ben Stiller plays Mitty the daydreamer who gets a wake-up call when he and his love interest are about to lose their jobs.
A new trailer for "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" starring and directed by Ben Stiller has just arrived. While the previous trailer focuses more on the title characater's humdrum life and his escape to the fantasy worlds, this new one provides a longer sneak peek at his real-life adventure including his scary encounter with big fish that may or may not be a shark.
Stiller plays the lead role as an office worker who lives a boring life in New York, where he has no courage to talk to his crush (Kristen Wiig) and often gets harassed by his co-workers due to his habit of zoning out. So as an escape, he disappears into a world of fantasies filled with romance and action, where he so gallantly saves his dream girl in numerous heroic scenarios.
But when their jobs are threatened, Mitty must take it upon himself to get out of his head and face the real world. Now less of a hapless daydreamer and more of a man, he jumps into a helicopter, dives in to the sea, treks in an icy land, and embarks on a global journey that turns into an adventure more extraordinary than anything he could have ever imagined.
The movie will be released this coming Christmas, with Adam Scott, Sean Penn, Patton Oswalt and Shirley Maclaine in supporting roles. It's the second adaptation of James Thurber's 1939 short story of the same name, following a 1947 film starring Danny Kaye.
"We just wanted to honor the material and tell the story pretty simply. But I think there's a lot beneath the surface in the Walter character, like the idea of what people have underneath. That's something everybody in the cast related to," said Stiller at the New York Film Festival recently.

Kids should know where—and where not—to pet dogs; the animal's chin or chest are safest options.
Owning a pet at an early age can be a wonderful experience for any child. Not only do kids become more active with pets, but they also learn a variety of valuable lessons like responsibility and compassion. The first thing kids must learn about pets, however, is how to be safe around them.
"Dogs are amazing and loving creatures and can teach children how to be responsible at an early age," says American Kennel Club spokesperson Gina DiNardo. "But, as with any animal, you need to teach your kids how to be safe around them to prevent accidents."
Whether it's a dog you know, one you've never met, or even your own pet, there are certain ways your child should approach a dog. Below are the steps kids should take before petting any pooch.Basic Safety Tips for Kids and DogsAsk permissionIt's very important to ask a dog's owner first if you can pet the dog. Not every dog reacts the same way to strangers petting them, and the owner will know if the dog is friendly and if it is safe for you to approach. Approach calmlyIf the owner says yes, make a fist, extend your hand slowly to the dog, and let him sniff the back of your hand. Dogs recognize people by scent, so letting him sniff your hand lets him become familiar with you.
Where to petOnce the dog has sniffed your hand, pet him gently under the chin or on the chest.
Don't hugKids should never hug a dog. Dogs don't hug each other, and they don't understand hugs to mean love and affection like humans do. Wrapping your arms around a dog can stress him out and lead to an unnecessary bite.Keep your chin upNever put your face down in front of a dog. This can be threatening to the dog and cause him to react.
Avoiding Tricky SituationsEvery so often, kids may come across a loose dog in the neighborhood with no owner present. "Parents should tell their children never to approach a dog they don't know. However, sometimes they may find themselves in a situation where a strange dog approaches them," DiNardo says.
If your child encounters a strange dog he should not run away, yell, or make other loud noises that may scare the dog. Instead, tell him to stand still with his arms crossed over his chest and to look away from the dog and avoid direct eye contact.
Children should not try to feed strange dogs. They may not take the treat gently and could end up hurting the child's hands.
In addition to ensuring your kids are safe around dogs, you should also take steps to keep your family pets secure with other dogs. "Whether you're at the dog park or taking a walk down the street, your dog may want to go and play with the others," DiNardo says. "Always ask the owner if her dog is friendly and whether or not it's alright for your pet to approach to play." Reading the SignsIn any situation, it's helpful to know what a relaxed dog looks like versus a threatening one. Below are some guidelines to follow:

2014 Mid-Ohio: Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Nationwide Race Recap
Posted by: newsla on Aug 17, 2014 - 07:11 AM
2014 Mid-Ohio: Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Nationwide Race Recap
Brian Scott qualified third for the Nationwide Children's Hospital 200 and was the highest qualifying Richard Childress Racing entry at Mid Ohio Sports Car Course. Teammates Ty Dillon, and Brendan Gaughan qualified fourth, and seventh respectively. RCR teammates Brian Scott, Ty Dillon and Brendan Gaughan finished third, 19th and 20th. Ty Dillon currently leads the RCR drivers in the Nationwide Series driver point standings in fourth, Brian Scott, fifth and Brendan Gaughan eighth. Next up for the Nationwide Series is the Food City 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway. Catch all the action live on Friday, August 22 at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time on ESPN.
Brian Scott Finishes Third at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course
The Nationwide Children's Hospital 200 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course was a race to remember, not only for Brian Scott's third-place finish but for Patient Champion Avery Neely to be a part of the festivities. Lewis Center, Ohio-native, Avery Neely joined the No. 2 Avery Neely / Shore Lodge Chevrolet Camaro for the race-day festivities and warmed the heart of the NASCAR Nationwide Garage. Scott qualified in the third position and would take over the race lead on the first lap. For the next 32 laps, Scott would lead the field around the 2.258-mile road course. In a hard-fought, tradin' paint battle for the lead, Scott moved into the second position. On lap 58, the Avery Neely / Shore Lodge Chevrolet made an unscheduled pit stop after making contact with another competitor on track causing grass to cover the grille and the water temperature to rise. The Phil Gould-led team, topped off with fuel and would race hard to get back inside the top-10 by lap 62. Scott continued to pick up positions as the laps wound down, ultimately crossing the finish line in the third place. The third-place finish marks Scott's fourth top-five finish of the season and sixth consecutive top-10 finish.
Start - 3rd Finish - 3rd Laps Led - 39 Pts - 5th
BRIAN SCOTT QUOTE: "I was proud of how we ran today and proud of this team. It was a special race for us to have Avery Neely design our car, and make it to the race for the Nationwide Children's Hospital 200 and to be our special guest. It was really neat to be a part of and to meet her family. I really wanted to celebrate with them in victory lane, which I guess what makes it all the more heartbreaking. I felt like we were the car to beat, but had to change our pit strategy because of contact with the 22. That chain of events put us behind the guys we were racing at the end to win."
Ty Dillon Finishes 19th in Nationwide Children's Hospital 200 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course
Ty Dillon drove Richard Childress Racing's No. 3 Yuengling Light Lager Chevrolet Camaro to a 19th-place finish Saturday afternoon in the Nationwide Children's Hospital 200 at the 12-turn road course. The 22-year-old driver qualified fourth earlier in the afternoon and raced inside the top-10 for the first 25 laps. Dillon, who was making his Nationwide Series debut at Mid-Ohio, reported that he was losing his power steering on lap five. Crew chief Danny Stockman made the decision to come to pit road, after the team changed four tires, and replace the power steering unit on lap 29. After the fixes were made, the team found itself two laps down so for the remainder of the 90-lap event, Dillon raced for the Lucky Dog position. In the end, Dillon gained back one lap but finished 19th-place, one lap down. He remained fourth in the driver point standings as the Nationwide Series schedule concluded its three road course races of the season. The Series will head back to Bristol Motor Speedway next Friday night.
Start - 4th Finish - 19th Laps Led - 0 Points - 4th
"We were really hoping for a caution flag there at the end to get us back on the lead lap. My team really stuck with it and gave us a shot to compete. They persevered through a mechanical issue and got our Chevrolet Camaro back out on track. A big thanks to Yuengling, who was out in full-force today cheering us on; their support is awesome."
Brendan Gaughan Finishes 20th at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course
Brendan Gaughan and the No. 62 Allie Norman / South Point Hotel Camaro qualified seventh for the NASCAR Nationwide Series Nationwide Children's Hospital 200 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. After going off-course on lap 37, Gaughan was shuffled back to the 23rd-position. By lap-55 the Richard Childress Racing team had worked its way back to the third position and took over the lead on lap 61. Crew chief Shane Wilson brought Gaughan and the No. 62 Chevrolet in for their final pit stop on lap 69 and the crew got him back on track in the 13th position. With less than 10 laps to go, Gaughan reported that he was pushing water after grass was reported on the grille of the Camaro. The 39-year-old crossed the finish line in the 20th position. Gaughan and the No. 62 Allie Norman / South Point Hotel Chevrolet are eighth in the driver point standings, 22 points behind seventh, heading into next Friday's race at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Start - 7th Finish - 20th Laps Led - 5 Points - 8th
"Our Richard Childress Racing Camaro was very strong today, but bad luck seems to follow us. The important part of this weekend was the Nationwide Children's Hospital and all of the kids and families that were at the race. The 62 team was paired with the amazing and strong Allie Norman. Great to meet her and her family and spend time with them. Sorry we couldn't end the day in victory lane for them."

Nightmare in Red is the twenty-second episode of the second season of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, and the forty-eighth episode overall in the series.
When the Freak of Crystal Cove is appearing in Scooby's nightmares, the gang will have to investigate what's going on.
Scooby is having nightmares with "the dancing man", and Annunaki Nova. When suddenly his dreams get worse he runs into the once defeated Freak of Crystal Cove—now more scary than ever.
The next morning, Scooby wakes up, and panics to the gang about his dream. The gang shows Scooby a book about "supernatural curses", with a picture of the author on the back; Professor Horatio Kharon, university hypno-therapist, who studied the supernatural. Scooby recognizes him as "the dancing man" in his dreams.
Later on, they drove down to see Prof. Kharon to see if he could shed some light on Scooby's nightmares. Velma thinks the idea is crazy; she never believed in real monsters. When the gang arrived at Prof. Kharon's mansion, he first yelled at them to leave. But when Scooby told him that he was in his nightmares, he let them come in.
When they met, the gang saw that the professor had pictures of "the Monstrous Freak" on his walls, seeing them in his nightmares. The professor kept yelling at them, but then calmed down. He lost "the best part of him", which is the man Scooby sees in his dreams, dancing. Then, he told the gang about "the Sitting room", a waiting room between time, space, and different dimensions. He said that they would find the answers "to whatever it is they need to find" there. Hypnosis was the way to enter the Sitting room, that's how Horatio's "best part" got trapped there. He also warned Scooby that if "the Monstrous Freak" got him in his dreams, he will never wake up. He pointed out to the gang that they need to find the monster's "true identity" and it will be defeated.
The professor had the gang lie down on the floor, in a circle. He gave Velma a talisman to give to his "other self" when time was up. He gave them one hour to confront the Monstrous Freak, and after that, there was no coming back. He pressed a button on his desk, and a big hypno-wheel, lowered from the ceiling, over the gang, spinning. Slowly, the gang were hypnotized into a deep sleep. Then, Prof. Kharon started counting the hour . . .
The next minute, the gang found themselves in the Sitting room, surrounded by the "best parts" of other people, trapped there by the cursed treasure. They looked like the old Mystery Inc, Ed Machine, and ex-Mayor Jones. Fred thought that "Mayor Dad" has something to do with the Monstrous Freak, being the one they unmasked. The ex-Mayor Jones figure came to life, and told Fred that the Monstrous Freak in Scooby's nightmares inspired his Freak of Crystal Cove idea. Suddenly, the Monstrous Freak appeared, and the gang scattered in different directions. Fred then finds himself in the old west; before him stand the Mystery Gang: four mystery solving cowgirls, and their bull, Tiny, who are using one of the keys, the mortar bowl. Shaggy and Scooby find their way to Spanish Crystal Cove, where they found Alianza Misterio, the mystery solving banditos, and their skunk, El Fuchi. Using the conquistador's helmet. Velma finds the Mystery Fellowship (the Darrow family) using the flintlock. Daphne, appears back at the Burlington Library where the Benevolent Lodge of Mystery had the sailcloth, the 4th key.
Later, the Freak caught up with all of them. The gang got chased to an area where a temple stood; the Freak got weakened by the light (atop the temple), and ran off. The gang met Annunaki Nova, and Velma had a nervous breakdown over things not making sense to her. Annunaki Nova told the gang about the very first group of mystery solvers (immortalized at the top of the temple), the Hunters of Secrets. They attempted to destroy the crystal sarcophagus, and the Evil Entity inside. But were stopped when the conquistadors took it, believing it to be treasure. And it was the Hunters of Secrets' intentions, that led to the other mystery solving groups; including the current Mystery Incorporated.

- Crystal Cove
- Sitting room (dream)
- Scorpion Wells (dream)
- Burlington Library (dream)
- Darrow Mansion (dream)
- Temple (dream)
- Horatio Kharon's mansion
- The sitting room that Scooby first went to in Stand and Deliver, is a junction between space, time and different dimensions. It can capture the best part of people. Most of the people from Crystal Cove have had their best part taken because of the cursed treasure.
- The connection between Professor Kharon first seen in The Devouring and the "dancing man" first seen in Stand and Deliver is established - they're the same person. The "dancing man" is the best part of him trapped from the time he spent in the sitting room.
- The gang went to Burlington Library in Night Terrors.
- The Mystery Fellowship are based on what they looked like right before their house collapsed in Escape From Mystery Manor.
- That Freak is what inspired Jones, Sr. to be the Freak of Crystal Cove first seen in Pawn of Shadows and revealed to be Jones, Sr. in All Fear The Freak.
- Fred forgives his kidnapper who raised him as his own which he found out in All Fear The Freak.
- This episode was aired in Italy on March 8, 2013
- This episode was aired in Latin America and Brazil on March 29, 2013.
- Daphne announces the "previously on..." recap.
- Scooby's line "Every time I think I'm out, they pull me back in," is a reference to Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) in Godfather III.
- The Monstrous Freak is nightmare figure that caused Professor Kharon to draw a room full of pictures of it.
- Interestingly, Professor Pericles isn't among the still figures, perhaps implying that he never had any "best parts" to lose.
- Velma's meltdown when things didn't make sense is similar to the Velma of the regular continuity's reaction in Scooby-Doo! And The Goblin King.
- The Hunters of Secrets were a Mayan group of friends who were first afflicted by the and were going to destroy the monster rather than release it, but were stopped when the Spanish conquistadors stole the sarcophagus because they thought it was a great treasure.
- The theory about the best parts of people trapped 'in between worlds' is a spoof of the theory of the doppelgänger (evil doubles of people in the Black Lodge) from Twin Peaks.
- The Miskatonic University that Horatio Kharon is a professor at is a reference to the location of the same name from H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos.
Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches
- Danny Darrow's hair is blond instead of brown.
Inconsistences/continuity errors and/or goofs
- One would think that Fred would've had already confronted his fake dad after the events of Wrath of the Krampus when he looked after the gang's pieces of the Planispheric Disk.
- Interestingly, Fred was more interested in finding redemption from the "best part" of his fake dad and not his real parents. From his experience with his parents it turned out that the ex-mayor turned to be a better parent all along, but Brad and Judy were victims too who should've also been given the benefit of the doubt.
- Velma finds it hard to believe what is happening is real and needs cold, hard facts, and this has always been her way. Despite the fact that she already saw the real mummy of Friar Serra in Theater of Doom, and seems to forget that she didn't question whether the Wild Brood, from The Wild Brood or Amy the siren, from The Siren's Song, were real or fake.

2008-11-21 / Business
Rest assured, shop makes customers top priority
Debbie Wickman's approach to business is pretty simple.
Wickman, owner of Camarillo Mattress Warehouse, said she's focused on two basic principles— quality customer service and competitive prices.
The formula has worked for the entrepreneurial mother of three who opened her 3,000square-foot store on Pickwick Drive in 1998 with money she borrowed from her grandmother and inventory from her brother's mattress store.
It didn't take long before she paid both back and was on her way to becoming a successful businesswoman.
Although Wickman said she was "petrified" about starting the business on her own, she didn't give herself much time for second thoughts.
Realizing her money was running low after a divorce two years earlier, Wickman said she woke on a Wednesday in mid-October of 1998 and decided she wanted to open a mattress store. By the following Monday, Wickman welcomed her first customer and hasn't looked back since.
"I just jumped in with both feet," Wickman said. "I love it. It's fun."
In addition to a wide range of mattresses, the store also sells beds, headboards, footboards and futons.
Nov. 1 marked the shop's official 10-year anniversary. It's been a decade, Wickman said, spent taking care of customers to help ensure a return visit.
"I love the people," Wickman said. "People love us. Some are on their fourth, fifth and sixth bed already."
A Camarillo resident for the past 20 years, Wickman said she's had customers at Leisure Village who were unable to drive to her shop, so she came to their house to bring them to and from the store.
"I'll do just about anything for the customers," she said.
Like most small business owners, Wickman said she's always willing to keep the store open later for a customer.
"She'll sell two or three mattresses even after the store's supposed to be closed and she's forgotten to flip the sign," said Dusty Mulhall, her boyfriend's son and a part-time employee at the store.
The business is definitely a family affair. Wickman said all three of her siblings—a brother and two sisters—own mattress shops in both Ventura and Santa Barbara counties.
Wickman's mom, Barbara Simcik, works at the mattress store, as does Suzanne Mulhall, the mother of Wickman's boyfriend.
Wickman said no one in the store works on commission, and she strives to keep overhead down in order to pass the savings on to her customers.
"I don't work like normal stores on commission, so I don't have to bump (prices) up," Wickman said. "We keep overhead low."
Wickman said despite the tough economy, her shop is doing well, especially at this time of year when customers are looking for guest beds for holiday visitors. She said August, with the return of students to California State University Channel Islands, is also a busy month.

Hey guys! This is a new game from my "old games" box. :o
Anyway, the rules are pretty easy. You just look at the person that commented before you, and write "The user before me..." and instead of the dots you insert some little fact/detail about the person. ALWAYS start with a new comment, not a reply. You can correct a person if they are wrong ONLY with a reply though
Example (if you don't get it)
User 1: *writes something so we can start the game*
User 2: The user before me is 13 years old. (User 1 replies: Wrong, I'm 12)
User 3: The person before me is a big fan of Degrassi.
User 4: The person before me loves pie :3 (User 3 replies: Lol no, cakes better :P)
User 5: The person before me spends a lot of their free time gaming.
And so on. You can also jokingly say wrong facts. xD Get it? LET'S PLAY :)

White House proposal would ease FBI access to records of Internet activity
By Ellen Nakashima
Washington Post.com
Thursday, July 29, 2010
The Obama administration is seeking to make it easier for the FBI to compel companies to turn over records of an individual's Internet activity without a court order if agents deem the information relevant to a terrorism or intelligence investigation.
The administration wants to add just four words — "electronic communication transactional records" — to a list of items that the law says the FBI may demand without a judge's approval. Government lawyers say this category of information includes the addresses to which an Internet user sends e-mail; the times and dates e-mail was sent and received; and possibly a user's browser history. It does not include, the lawyers hasten to point out, the "content" of e-mail or other Internet communication.
The Rest…HERE

Studio Gear Invincible Gel Cream Eye Color Reviews
Started out promising but disappointing in the end...I'm desperate for a liner that doesn't smudge on outside corners of eyes. This liner is a huge improvement but besides smudging a bit after 6 hours, it flaked big time below my eyes and the flakes for very difficult to wipe away. I'm returning for a refund and moving on to try something different. Very disappointed :( — 7 years, 4 months agoKourve | 1 reviews

!Amazing Eyeliner! ~Twice the product for half the price of Smash Box~This cake eyeliner is wonderful! I went into Ulta looking for liquid eyeliner that didn't smear and make me look like Tammy Baker (RIP Girl!). The lady at the makeup counter showed me what she'd been using. It's twice the product for half the price of Smash Box About the Product: It dries in about 60 sec and stays on all day without smearing. Yes, you make want to play with it a little bit, espec...read moreially if you've never used liquid eyeliner. You don't have to drop a lot of money on a applicatioin brush. I use a thin narrow brush I had purchased from Target by Sonia Kashuk. One of my favorite products. Update: I'm only recomending the black...used the green which looks great in the bottle. When applied it looks like black, so I'm taking it back for a refund. — 8 years, 3 months agoMakeup_Junkie | 1 reviews

Better than Loreal HIPI tried this product because Loreal HIP cream eyeliner, although a good product, just missed the mark for me. This eyeliner has a much creamer consistency so it is easy to apply with a liner brush, and the shades are smokey and soft. If you want to try the bolder eyeliner trend without going extreme, this is a good product to try- and it's cheaper than Smashbox's version. The best part is that it is easy to remove and is not "tatooed" on for days after you put it on! — 8 years, 4 months agokap_nc | 63 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
DADE CITY — It's 8:10 p.m. The last entrees of the evening have left the kitchen at Pearl in the Grove restaurant, and chef-owner Curtis Beebe is mixing flour, water, yeast and salt in bowls in the sink. The dough will rest in the kitchen overnight and be baked in the morning for service that evening.
After a little more cleaning up, Beebe will go home. He has been here since 6:15 a.m.
"That's a long day," he says, not as a way of complaining but as a comparative analysis. Other days aren't so long, is the implication.
But tomorrow has more catering jobs and more reservations in the book.
Welcome to the world of independent restaurant ownership.
A long, circuitous route leads to the Pearl in the Grove.
That is literal for diners who have driven the back roads through acres of eastern Pasco citrus groves to find the Southern-inflected startup. And it is figurative for Beebe, 48, who opened the restaurant in October and is learning the business on the fly since his nearly 30-year career in information technology dried up.
"I found myself unencumbered by the constraints of traditional employment," Beebe likes to say with barely a note of sarcasm.
This isn't a story, though, where hardship leads to the realization of a long-held dream. Beebe and his wife, Rebecca, have spent years driving around the South, and traveling the world, always on the lookout for a great meal, mostly at off-the-beaten-path mom-and-pop places. But that didn't necessarily instill a desire to have one of their own.
About two years ago, less work led to more free time. That led to more cooking for the family, and to more elaborate dinner parties. Then church dinners.
Hey-we-can-have-our-own-restaurant talk started, but Beebe was cautious. He tested his mettle at a series of "underground" dinners at the Dade City Women's Club. Donations for the meals helped gauge what people would pay. The meals drew between 40 and 100 people each time, and the average donation was $30.
That was all the data Beebe needed to take the plunge.
• • •
The building at St. Joe and Scharber roads, just outside Dade City, has been there for decades. It started life as a house but has been home to businesses for years. Most recently, it was a convenience store/sandwich shop.
It fit Beebe's need for a place with a working kitchen. Much of the startup money was coming from underground diners who were buying in with the promise of getting fed as a return on the investment.
"There are a lot of people around here that want to see us succeed just because they want to have someplace like this to eat," he said.
Sweat was invested to clean the place out and decorate the space. The look is part refined and charming — white tablecloths, candles, chalkboard menus and wine-cork-filled centerpieces — and rough and rustic — concrete floors, cinder block walls.
"If I have a little extra money for improving the decor or getting higher-quality ingredients, I'm going to get the higher-quality ingredients," Beebe says.
• • •
From the start, the plan for the food was to cook from scratch the best ingredients available locally. Being new to the game, Beebe is still learning where he can get what, what he can get when, and why he can't get some things at all.
"The relationship I'm looking for is the person that will come to me and say, 'I can grow this really cool thing. Do you want it?' Because the answer will be yes."
In the meantime, the cabbage he gets one afternoon will be braised and tossed with butter and balsamic. Strawberries picked in the morning are dessert by 7 p.m. A farmer brings in a box of broccoli and beets, which will be side dishes the next night.
Other inspirations come from personal history.
"My wife grew up on salmon croquettes, and I wanted to make something similar, based on what we had available. We can get catfish. It's healthy, and it's sustainable."
So that catfish is mixed with some onion, egg and just enough cornmeal to hold it all together and become catfish beignets. It's a riff on croquettes, and on fried catfish.
For its side dish, inspiration comes from a Sunday afternoon watching celebrity chef and restaurateur Lidia Bastianich on PBS.
"She was making polenta cakes, and I started thinking, 'What would she be making if she had lived in the South?' She'd be making grits. From there, we smoked some tomato and onion and put it all together."
Put them together, and it's a dish so popular that Beebe has had trouble rotating off the menu.
Which may be just as well, because the realities of running a restaurant have created unexpected issues.
"One of the challenges is finding time to develop new dishes that I can execute during service," he said. "I'm just fumbling my way through this. I'm lucky to be in a place where people will give me a shot."
• • •
As word has gotten out, some nights are quite busy, with a full parking lot and room only for people who made reservations. Other nights are a bigger question mark. Like a recent weeknight, with only one reservation on the books, party of one. The failure rate of new restaurants is high. The Beebes know this.
"I get worried on nights like tonight," said Rebecca Beebe, who shows up after a day of teaching sixth-graders to run the front of the house. "But then on another night we'll be full and not have time to think about it. It would be nice to just know which it's going to be."
Curtis says he figures that if 10 people show up on a Wednesday, that will be a decent night.
"The analyst in me wants to put together all the data — the weather, the phases of the moon, payday — and figure out what makes something sell one night and not another. One night, we almost run out of gumbo. The next night, we don't sell a bowl. What changed? The weather is the same. There has to be a reason."
At 5 p.m., the party of one walks in the door. Shortly after, a reservation for four at 6:30 comes in via e-mail. By the time they are considering dessert, a couple walks in, followed by a group of three.
At the end of the night, as he is mixing the next day's bread dough, the Beebes have served 10 customers.
Maybe the analyst in him has figured out more of the equation than he realized.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/5/2013 (1564 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
NEAR LANDMARK -- Everyone grieves differently, and Margaret Rempel's way, after her husband, Ron, died of a brain hemorrhage 10 years ago, was to ramp up her workload.
She would work late into the night on the hog farm near Landmark, 40 kilometres southeast of Winnipeg. "The barn was spotless," said Rempel.
"I have been accused of being a workaholic. I call it work therapy," she said.
'When Ron (my late husband) and I were farming together, salesmen would say, "Can I speak to the boss?" I'd say "Go ahead, you're speaking to her" ' -- Landmark-area farmer Margaret Rempel
Single, white, female, hog farmer -- to riff on a movie title from years ago.
"Lots of people assumed I would sell the farm (after Ron died) and do some other thing. But I enjoy farming or I wouldn't be doing it," she said. "I'd always fed the sows, tilled the fields, hauled finished pig... "
Selling the farm "wasn't the right psychological option," she said. Others thought she should at least take a leave away from the farm. "When you're self-employed, you don't get to take a leave of absence," she said.
Today, Rempel runs Rempelco Acres, a 500-sow farrow-to-finish operation, and 1,600 acres of cropland. She is part of a small but growing number of women running farms on their own in Manitoba.
Farming is changing with society where more women are breaking the "grass ceiling."
Andrew Dickson, Manitoba Pork Council general manager, knows of one or two other single-female hog producers in the province who took over after their husbands died. More women tend to run cattle or horse ranches.
One reason more women are farming is there isn't as much "brawn" required as 50 years ago, thanks to modern technology, said Rempel. "We're not feeding animals by hauling pails around. It's automated," she said. She has three employees. Her oldest son, Jason, is now coming back to the farm, too.
Her situation was also different because farm wives are usually older when they become widowed, so it makes more sense to sell the farm and retire. But Rempel was just 50.
It's not just single women who are farmers. People overlook the fact many women, if not most, are full partners on today's farm. "There are lots of husband-and-wife teams. If one doesn't have off-farm work, they automatically divide up the farm work," she said.
Women in farming can get interesting reactions. "The thing that happens so much when you're part of a farming couple is people assume it's still the man who's responsible for making decisions. When Ron and I were farming together, salesmen would say, 'Can I speak to the boss?' I'd say 'Go ahead, you're speaking to her.' "
Running a mixed farm (crop and livestock) is intensive. Rempel's morning, before the 9:30 a.m. newspaper interview, included bottle-feeding a baby goat rejected by its mother, feeding the chickens, putting the goats out to pasture, hauling culled sows into a stock trailer and relocating them to a collection pen, and 45 minutes doing email -- and not to chit-chat. Her email includes placing a premix feed order, checking grain prices and clearing up business with Canadian Agrifood Policy Institute board members, of which she is one.
"Farming allows such a large spectrum of job descriptions," she says. It's not a nine-to-five job, either. "In winter, I try to keep it to 12-hour days. The rest of the time, it's 14- to 16-hour days. Lots of mixed farmers work those hours."
There are always internal deadlines to meet, such as regular feeding of animals and shipping to market. Mondays are shipping days, when finished hogs are transported for processing.
Rempel, who grew up on a dairy farm near Brandon and is a few credits short of a bachelor of arts degree in English and history, has distinguished herself among her peers. She has been a Keystone Agricultural Producers director, a founding board member of the Manitoba Rural Adaptation Council, an international trade adviser and served on the Canadian Foodgrains Bank board.
Hog farming has had enormous struggles the past five years due to country-of-origin labelling (COOL) in the U.S., which has slashed Manitoba exports to that market from nearly five million weanlings per year to just one million. High feed prices, and the province's moratorium on hog expansion, which Rempel believes is a government response to urban misconceptions of the tightly regulated hog sector, have also set back producers.

By Alex Vuchnich, CPA, CFE - Instant messaging has quickly become one of the most indispensable communication tools among many larger businesses. It provides a vital point of contact between mobile and remote workers allowing for seamless interaction between dispersed teams and departments. Some have even begun to conjecture whether IM will eventually outpace and replace email. Within smaller organizations however there has been slower adoption of these applications. Within a CPA firm for instance concerns regarding the security and confidentiality of communications over public IM networks may hinder adoption. In enterprise organizations these concerns are met through the use of private IM networks and VPN which may not be economically feasible for smaller enterprises. With good policies set around what type of communications are appropriate over unsecured public networks smaller firms can leverage the value larger enterprises gain by using messaging for coordinating dispersed team efforts.
One of the problems that arise for many organization using the widely available public messaging networks is that different users may belong to one or more different networks. This can be solved by having everyone set up on just one selected network. However many free services exist that will seamlessly connect a user to multiple networks through one user login. The two services I have used and found to be quite effective are Meebo and Nimbuzz. Meebo is a web based application for coordinating desktop IM accounts while Nimbuzz is a Windows Mobile app for when I am on the go. You can create a Meebo account at Meebo. After setting up an account you enter in all your various IM account information and then are logged into all messaging accounts simultaneously through one browser interface. This has the added advantage that you can access your IM accounts while away from the office as long as you have access to an internet enabled PC. Nimbuzz can be installed directly to your supported wireless phone through your mobile browser at get.nimbuzz.com. Once installed you go through a similar set up as Meebo at which point all your IM contacts are accessible through your mobile phone.
My phone already included an IM application provided by my carrier but I was unhappy with the application because it did not allow me to log into all of my various IM accounts. Nimbuzz solved this problem for me. One drawback I noticed is that some IM services, such as MSN and AOL, kick out periodic error messages when you are logged into your account from multiple locations. I received several of these periodic messages as a result of being connected through the PC and my mobile phone which was somewhat irritating. Aside from that the services have provided me with even more accessibility to my coworkers while working remotely and conversely my coworkers more accessibility to me. With sound policies regarding what constitutes appropriate communications over public IM networks, many firms can gain tremendous benefits from coordinating over IM.
