"More accurate but less damaging than its AK-47 counterpart, the M4A4 is the full-auto assault rifle of choice for CTs."
―Official description
- For the M4A4's predecessor, see Maverick M4A1 Carbine.
The M4A4 is a Counter-Terrorist rifle featured exclusively in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, replacing the previous Maverick M4A1 Carbine. It has the M4A1-S as its alternative load out.
Hitbox | Primary Attack | |
Unarmored | Armored | |
Head | 131 | 92 |
Chest & Arm | 32 | 23 |
Abdomen & Pelvis | 40 | 28 |
Leg | 24 | 24 |
- The M4A4 has high accuracy and moderate recoil, especially when fired in bursts. However, spraying bullets is not always recommended, unless you're in close proximity with the enemy.
- At longer ranges, burst fire, unless an opponent has a sniper rifle, like the AWP. Retreating when an experienced sniper has spotted you is more recommended than recklessly charging in an open area.
- In medium and close ranges, you can spray bullets at the torso or stomach. Be sure that you are accustomed to the recoil however.
- Although headshots from the M4A4 are not always lethal, you can aim for the head at close ranges. A headshot might kill if an opponent is already hurt, or at least deliver heavy damage.
- Experienced players with AK-47 rifles may outgun M4A4 users at mid to long ranges. To counter this, try to burst-fire as the M4A4 has lower recoil or find a way to gain close proximity due to higher rate of fire of the weapon.
- This rifle can easily counter assailants armed with higher recoil and/or lower rate of fire weapons, especially if opponents have trouble controlling their weapon at close ranges. Examples include the AK-47 and the SG 553.
- If you were ambushed by a M4A4 user, try to disengage with users at close range as soon as possible. Use a flashbang and maintain distance.
- Although risky, the AK-47 is considered somewhat better to use at close proximity as it inflicts higher damage.
Comparison to the M4A1-SEdit
- Larger magazine and more reserve ammo (30 / 90 vs 20 / 40)
- Shorter length compared to the M4A1-S with a silencer attached
- Less expensive compared to the M4A1-S ($3100 vs $3200)
- Inflicts roughly the same amount of damage (33, negligible 1 point of difference in headshot)
- Same reload time (3.0 seconds)
- Same rate of fire (666 RPM)
- Same penetration power (200)
- Same kill award ($300 (Competitive) $150 (Casual))
- Same movement speed (225)
- Same accurate range (39 m)
- No attachable silencer
- Less accurate when moving
- More damage falloff
- Worse recoil control (20 vs 19)
Main article: M4A4/Gallery
- The M4A4 is the only somewhat fictional weapon in by name as the M4A3 is the most recent iteration of the M4 rifle that the United States Military has produced and the A4 variant do not exist. The A# designator indicates the iteration / version of the firearm after its original issue. For example, the M16A4 is the 4th and most current iteration of the M16 Rifle after 3 revisions.
- The M4A1 is produced by Colt's Manufacturing Company, while the A2-A3 variants are produced by Bushmaster Firearms International.
- The weapon model is likely based upon a Mk 18 with a Close Quarters Battle Receiver, judging by the shorter 10.3 inch barrel.
- The M4A4 originally had a different firing sound but during the development of the game, it was changed to sound much more like the original M4A1.
- The M4A4 shares its reload animation with the M4A1-S and SCAR-20.
- The code for the M4A4 still uses "M4A1" in the game files. Also, in Hammer Editor (CS:GO SDK), it is spawnable by entry "weapon_m4a1".
- The M4A1 in Counter-Strike Online 2 is based on the model of the M4A4.
- In Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, the M4A4 was the most common rifle purchased by CT players. However, after the M4A1-S was added, the M4A4 dropped in popularity by human players[1] and is more commonly wielded by bots.
- The M4A4 (or M4A1-S if equipped instead) is one of the constituents of the CT auto-buy kit.
- The weapon entity name shares its name (
)with its predecessor from previous Counter-Strike games even though it does not match the actual weapon.

The City Mole, the way is called now, lot of international standard shops and some good eatery, have a coffee at Cafesserie, a great meeting spot.
I frequently visited this mall for the several times I have been to Mombasa. This time I was astonished when the manager called to inform me that I had left my ipad at the pay counter. How did they know it was mine remains a puzzle.
They 've got almost everything u need. Especially nakumatt nyali. It's quite huge and a vast variety is available. Very efficient and friendly people in tills. Always very helpful and they also provide trolley pushing services all the way to 0ur vehicles. Great.
I liked that it is a one-stop-shop for anything that you need, from food to clothing and entertainment stuff. I disliked the slow speed of service by the cashiers. There was a very long queue and spend more time in the queue that in shopping. But I got to understand that Msa is a go-slow time. No hurry at all.
The place to meet people and socialize, good shopping of international standard, do not miss a visit to Cafesserie
Nakumatt is a supermarket that is in a large mall complex called City Mall. We went to Nakumatt numerous times during our trips to Mombasa to buy drinks, fruits etc to stock our mini bar. We also patronized the other stores in the mall, bought gifts, t-shirts at the One Way shop and gorgeous necklaces at Kazuri Necklaces. I cannot... More
Instead of using the hotel minibar we got our drinks and snacks from Nakumet and saved ourselves a fortune. The shopping complex has good restaurants (Handi) 1st floor and a variety of shops. I even had a pair of glasses made at Optica which are excellent value. T shirts are worth buying at the complex rather than hotel or outside... More
You can find just about anything at Nakumatt that you can find in big US supermarkets such as Walmart, Target & Meijer's, and more. Service was very good.
No big difference from the Nairobi malls; mostly same shops & all. You will find all you need here; from ATMs to coffee shops to Nakumatt supermarket, clothing stores, eateries...clean & lots of security

I've championed LG's broad base of product lines and commitment to quality in the past as an OEM with the guts/vision/drive to use webOS effectively.
Their pockets are pretty deep. Their desire to differentiate and rise to the top in all markets is pretty evident. I say, "Life's Good," if they have made serious financial investment into webOS.

Just to confirm I'm reading it right: Technically LG has a copy of the webOS source code, and has all staff and websites, plus licenses for patents, but HP still actually owns webOS, and owns all the patents? Or does LG have total ownership of webOS and HP is just holding on to the patents and some cloud stuff?

I'm disappointed. I don't own any webOS products. However, I do feel that webOS is a good platform. It would make more sense to me for a company to revive webOS and continue development than to try something new like Firefox mobile or Ubuntu for smartphones / tablets. I believe that Firefox and Ubuntu will be failures; however, I believe webOS could have been successful if the right company actually gave it decent support.

HP owns the Palm patents and LG paid HP a licensing fee to the Palm patents. HP doesn't have own webOS anymore. HP has to pay LG money to have access to webOS source code in order to service existing webOS device customers. |

And she got it. And LG gets a web-based unique OS for its electronics and some good patents, probably at a great price for them. And they have to help the open source community continue in some way. In terms of servicing the existing Palm users, they are not getting any software updates anyway right? So the only thing they would get is cloud backups (thats HP as it wants cloud services) and the app catalogue so I can assume HP would push out business branded apps for its cloud services. So why is this not a WIN-WIN? The verge wrote too hastily. What remains unclear is what LG does if it has opens up its tv eco system to third party apps. |

So it looks like the webOS toaster is more probable than a webOS phone (see below). Still, I say anything can happen as tech changes--if the webOS tv takes off and 3rd party app ecosystems start becoming the rage on tv, who knows? I know TheVerge wrote that now LG is still not ruling out a phone but it seems allthingsd has a more complete take on the current situation. What LG Will Do With webOS - Arik Hesseldahl - News - AllThingsD "Ahn told me that webOS will become a core technology of LG, and that we would like to incorporate it first into our Smart TV platform, and then in the future in other devices. What other devices? Probably not phones and tablets. LG is pretty firmly in the Android camp there. But there are other appliances that might benefit from webOS, Ahn said, like refrigerators and other appliances and also smart signage. So there you have it: webOS will appear first in TVs, and then perhaps later in other household appliances from LG." |

We don't really know what LG is up to --- they could have just bought the engineers.
Palm bought the BeOS source code and the engineers --- and wanted nothing to do with the BeOS source code. LG could have just bought the engineers and for the safety of not getting sued --- bought the webOS source code in case these engineers cut and paste something old from webOS to their new LG projects. The best case scenario would be that Nokia is keeping their skunkworks in case WP8 fails, Samsung is keeping Tizen just in case Android fails, and LG is modeling Samsung in keeping an OS (like Samsung keeping Tizen) as a back-up. Not just a back-up if Android fails --- but if Samsung grows stronger Samsung could ditch Android in the future and use their own proprietary Tizen. Last edited by samab; 02/25/2013 at 05:01 PM. |

I could see having multiple windows open on a tv as people multitask anyway with their mobile devices while watching. The losers are the advertisers.
The tv makers are probably afraid of the rumored Apple TV and this is a way to stay competitive or ahead. The tv model is also broken now because the apps are slow and not good selection, I have 3 boxes hooked up now to my tv and constantly switch remotes, the only thing I never use is the Internet on my horribly slow Blu ray player |
02/25/2013, 06:22 PM | #140 (permalink) |
They are not talking about phones yet because they still want to sell their current line and they probably aren't ready yet. Makes sense to start with TV's as there isn't really any exciting innovation that's caught on yet. LG doesn't have a very good Touchwiz or Sense competitor that everyone selling Android thinks they need to differentiate themselves. They are not heavily engrained in Anrdoid any more than HTC is. They've both taken a shot at Windows Phone. Why not give webOS a go?
I like it.

Brit Awards were the most spectacular show that happened in London till date. The spectacular event took place on Wednesday evening at the London's O2 arena. There were great performances from various artists which left the audience spell bound. Some notable ones include performances by Arctic Monkeys, Pharrell Williams, Beyonce, Katy Perry and Lorde.
Beyonce gave a spell bounding performance as she introduced her song "XO" at the Brit Awards. The pop diva looked spectacular in a long, floor length Vrettos Vrettakos gown that reportedly contained 140,000 blue zircon crystals, reports E! Online.
The pop diva belted out the wonderful ballad from her self- titled album "Beyonce" and enthralled the audience. She did not take help of any backup dancers or even props! Queen Bey's voice was enough to let the audience cheer in delight.
Katy Perry gave a stupendous performance on "Dark Horse," a hit number from her latest album "Prism." Perry dressed like an Egyptian as she wore a neon green dress for her performance.
Arctic Monkeys, who won two awards at the Brit Awards, gave a wonderful performance on "R U Mine" while Lorde looked amazing in black dress as she performed flawlessly on her Grammy Award winning song "Royals." Pharrell featuring Nile Rodgers gave a super fabulous performance on "Get Lucky" / "Good Times" / "Happy."
Bruno Mars rocked the show with his wonderful performance of "Treasure." Bastille and Rudimental gave a wonderful performance on "Made In Heaven" while singer Ellie Goulding, who has a unique voice, gave a mesmerizing performance on "Burn."
Arctic Monkeys won the Brit Award for British Group while rap group Daft Punk won Best International Group, but were not present at the ceremony. Nile Rodgers accepted it on their behalf.
Singer David Bowie won Best British Male Brit Award but again missed the ceremony. Model Kate Moss accepted the award on his behalf. New Zealand-born singer Lorde won Best International Female Solo Artist and could hardly contain her excitement while Arctic Monkeys won British Album of the Year!

Kate Moss Fashion Editorials
Kate Moss Is Unstoppable — See 150 of Her Most Stunning Editorials
Can you believe Kate Moss turns 41 today? It seems like just yesterday she was a fresh-faced teen model, posing for Calvin Klein ads and dating Johnny Depp. Through setbacks, scandals, and stirring up global controversies, Kate's career has managed to endure — she has starred in campaigns for Rimmel London, David Yurman, Stella McCartney, and Dior, to mention a few, and has even designed collections for Topshop and Longchamp. In 2011, Kate returned to the runway for Louis Vuitton, cigarette in hand — silencing even her harshest critics and reminding us all why we love her so much — then showed her softer side during her English countryside wedding to The Kills' frontman Jamie Hince. With the release of her coffee table tome, Kate: The Kate Moss Book in 2012, it became even more apparent how staggering Kate's career is, spanning over 25 years. No matter what she's gone through, Kate remains a fashion industry icon and continues to inspire us with her gorgeous spreads and covetable street-style looks.

How is ovarian cancer diagnosed?Reader Stories
Often vague symptoms eventually lead to a clinical diagnosis, or one based on suspicion generated by exams, laboratory tests, and imaging. However, an accurate diagnosis requires some of the tumor to be removed, either by biopsy (less often), or preferably, surgery to verify the diagnosis. Often a high clinical suspicion can trigger a referral to a gynecologic oncologist. Various types of imaging studies can be used to diagnose this disease. Ultrasound and CT (CAT) scans are the most common. These can often give pictures that show masses in the abdomen and pelvis, fluid in the belly (ascites), obstructions of the bowels or kidneys, or disease in the chest or liver. Many times this is all that is necessary to trigger a referral to a specialist, as the suspicion for ovarian cancer can be quite high. PET scans can be used, but often are not necessary if a CT scan is able to be performed. Blood work can be helpful as well. The CA-125 is a blood test that is often, but not always, elevated with ovarian cancer. If a postmenopausal woman has a mass and an elevated CA-125, she has an extremely high risk of having a cancer. However, in younger women, CA-125 is extraordinarily inaccurate. It is elevated by a large number of disease processes, including but not limited to, diverticulitis, pregnancy, irritable bowel syndrome, appendicitis, liver disease, stomach disease, and more. No one should get this test done unless they actually have a mass, or their doctor has some reason to get it. It should not be drawn just to see the level since it is not a reliable screening test for ovarian cancer. HE4 is another, newer blood test that is starting to be used while women undergo workup for a mass that has been found. It is commonly used to try to help decide if a referral to a gynecologic oncologist is warranted. When abnormal, in conjunction with a CA-125, it can assist in the decision process as to the risk of the mass being cancerous. OVA-1 is a test that is performed by a private company. This test uses a series of blood tests, and then incorporates the results into an equation that then gives the doctor a result about the likelihood that a mass is cancerous. A high level of the test has been shown in some studies to increase the suspicion of a cancer being present. This test is another to aid a doctor in planning for surgery when a mass is found.

Josh Powell, Sr. Rocket Scientist and book author of the upcoming Manning title "Single Page Web Applications" (MEAP title), will present Node.js for Designers. In this session, Josh will cover a spectrum of topics to enable the designer/developer/lone wolf to develop great looking sites and apps on Node.js. This will include getting started with JS and Node.js (even if you are stuck on Windows), choosing an MVC framework, getting conversant with NPM, basics of data persistence, and a variety of other topics that will help Designers and those new to Node.js get started.
More details to come on Agenda. Engine Yard has graciously offered to host, and will have some door prizes for folks, as well as some food/drink. Josh will also have some Manning related shwaggle on hand.
If you have a great designer friendly module, or if you are a designer that has built something cool using node, or just have something to say on this topic, please contact me.
As always, we will be opening up more spots as the date gets closer (space is limited). And if you already know node.js really well, consider skipping this evening and staying home to study Dart so that some Node-newbs can get a shot at learning something new. If you have something to add to the topic, I encourage you to come and share some of your experiences. Thx!
Truedat, winner here: my correct address is raul-at-murciano-dot-net. Thanks!
July 31, 2012
Oops, thanks John. Will fix it soon. Gavin - sorry that you had trouble hearing, next time please let me know and I'll speak louder. It's hard to judge if you can hear me in the back, next time I'll be sure to ask as well. Thanks for coming!
July 31, 2012
Can the prize winner last night please contact me with some more useful contact info? The email address we received from you bounced.
July 31, 2012
I really enjoyed Josh's approach and sensible (assume nothing that we all know how it all works) approach to teaching Node. I think there is a good sequel to this story if Josh is interested in coming back and presenting some more examples or sample sites that could be easily built deployed by a designer without extensive Node-knowledge.
July 31, 2012
Hey Josh, Great talk. Just FYI, the zip at http://jsjoshing.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/listings.zip has empty folders.
1 · July 31, 2012
I had difficulty hearing the speaking & the audience's questions.
I also had difficulty seeing the dim projection.
July 31, 2012
Definitely a good intro for absolute beginners with limited programming knowledge.
July 31, 2012
Hi Everyone, my name is Josh Powell and I gave the Node.js for Designers talk. Thank you all for coming, I had a blast and hope that you did to. Would love to hear any comments or constructive criticism you have on the talk and would appreciate it if you could rate the talk on this site. I have published the Keynote file I used and most of the code listings on my blog, jsjoshing.com. Thanks again!
July 31, 2012
Tentative agenda: 6:30-7ish, Food/Drink/Networking. 7ish, our main speaker will present. We will offer some time at the end for questions and any community announcements. Please try to show up before 7 to make sure you get time to network and eat something. We will wrap up by 9.
July 30, 2012
Folks, re: recording/streaming, unless I have someone from the community willing to sponsor or handle this, I don't have the cycles or skill to pull off the quality level that people expect from recorded or streamed events. I'm open to having someone volunteer to do this or to sponsor it (hint hint), as long as it can be a regular commitment. Otherwise, we'll keep this event as one for people who can attend in person.
July 30, 2012
This is a great topic and perfect for what I need now. It would be wonderful if the session could be recorded and available to those who could not make it.
July 29, 2012
July 29, 2012
Dang! Just missed the cutoff :( Looks very interesting indeed! I guess I'll have to wait till the next round (in August maybe?)
July 29, 2012
I'm also setting up something for August, thinking about Real Time Web and Node.js ... do you have an app, module, or technology that fits into this topic. Batting around ideas now.
July 28, 2012
And more seats. Please double check your iCal and make sure that you don't have other plans. As a non-SF courtesy thing, please change a "maybe" status to a "no" so the organizers can get a better count of who is coming, and to open a spot for someone who really wants to come. Thank you again for being cool about that.
July 28, 2012
Would be interested if additional openings become available. Thanks!
July 22, 2012
Please ping me when another seat opens. I tried on the 1st day and checked back on Friday without luck so far.
July 20, 2012
Also want in, if possible. Thanks!
July 19, 2012
As always with the meetup, we don't do waitlists. They favor people who are quick to respond to meetup announcements. I'll ping all by email who chime in when I release seats.
July 19, 2012
Yes...I want to come too...It's possible a wait list, please?
July 19, 2012
Hi Folks, as always, I stagger opening of seats for the event because some people are busy during the day and aren't quick to click on yes. A couple of things ... people are constantly changing status from Yes->No, and that means seats open up. I'll open seats on Friday and again early in the week next week. And since 50% usually are no-shows, I'll put the usual pressure for 'Maybes' to change status to not going.
1 · July 18, 2012
Could you open up a wait list? I responded to the email within 15 minutes, but it's already full. Bummer.
2 · July 18, 2012
Exciting learning event
July 18, 2012
I'm surprised by the level of growth I've seen since becoming an organizer, it's given me more confidence in my abilities.

1998 Honda Civic LX
ProsI can still find parts, fun to drive, does everything for me Consnegatives it is 11 years old and it does show its wear.
My 2nd Car And I Am Keeping It — This one was my clean titled car that I purchased out the door for 7,200 back in 2003. This was also my first manual car and I started to do those modification things on it. It had a "mini me" swap an EX head on a non V-tec bottom end which was also ported an polished, etc and blah blah. I got tired of it and wanted more power so I opted with a JDM B16A swap, head ported and combustion chambers cleaned and blah blah. It definitely had enough power to compete against most 4 cylinder cars until 2005 so not too bad. Build quality? It was great but with age of coarse things break after almost 10 years in general it was Great Quality. Appearance, back in the day I loved it because it holds sentimental value of my first Honda Civic. Gas when stock was 24mpg. when mini me it was 25.5mpg. And now with B16A it is 24.5mpg so not too bad with my driving cost of ownership, again it is an older car so it is hard to pin point yet extremely cheap. Fun Factor? I like this car alot.

1998 Honda Civic
Proseverything Consnothing
Smooth Car — it's spacious from inside, the interior is very beautiful and it always smells nice. it doesn't take too much gas plus it doesnt use much of it anyways. so in short it's not that expensive and economic. it's too much fun to drive that i usually create any excuse to drive it... u can feel it gliding on the roads. plus honda is very well known for its strong build and soft smooth gliding. u could convert it into a sports speeding car if u want. |
1998 Honda Civic LX
ProsHonda reliability and great gas mileage! ConsOutside apprearance is a little rough right now, lol.
Shea's '98 Civic — Well, the car was sold to me as a lemon. I found out, of course, after I drove it off the lot. I bought it for 17k with 30,000 miles on it. Which was a rip off b/c a month later I bought a 2000 Civic coupe with cd player and remote entry for the same price! After I took it to a mechanic, found it had over $2,500 worth of damage done to it. 3 years after purchasing this car is when the clutch kit finally gave up on me. I was surprised it lasted that long! I have only had to keep up with regular maintenance on this car. So, the rumors about Honda's are definitely true! Performance, not really a performance car. Just a 1.6L. Its GREAT on gas. At $2.71 a gallon right now, I just filled up my tank on $20. :D Its been a great car to me and has everything I need...for now. :) |
1998 Honda Civic EX
ProsLooks decent! ConsToo slow!
Good Economical Car! — It can be souped up in nearly a million ways! The car is extremely fun to drive, and is much better a Toyota Camry, or a Corolla. Also very good on gas! Several mods can be added to the car which will make the car look amazing. Not many cars can be modded as this one! |
1998 Honda Civic CX Hatchback
ProsLow gas consumption , design , performance , stability etc.......... ConsIt will never break down so it's forever yours to enjoy !
Urban Perfection — This car has realy good road behaviour. Sticks to the road BUT can't go over 200 kmh :( For a 1.4 stock engine with 90 Bhp I could say it's pretty quick on the start and it could "punish" cars with bigger engines. It's a great car for the city. Easy to manuver and it has realatively low gas consumption. Suspention is a little bit hard , but you get used to it realy fast. Realy fun to drive. |
1998 Honda Civic
Proslow consumption,performance,sportive look Consnothing
I'm 2nd Owner 55ooo Miles Auto Trany,ac,airbag,and O.z.racing Rims Have. — ıt's looks sportive,and same time compact body very pratical to use.low fuel consumption is good for the daily use.engine life is very good for long term use.acceleration is enogh for 1.4 lt engine.breaking is good with abs ,handling is excellent.maintanc cost is very low.and very good for the modify engine. |
1998 Honda Civic LX
Proseverything. Great gas mileage, smooth ride, full featured. Consif you're looking for power, you'll have to do some upgrades.
Civic — Although it doesn't score the best in performance and appearance, it's a very reliable car that I know will start every morning. It more than adequately serves its purpose as a cheap to own and drive car. It is light on the wallet at rare visits to the parts store as well as the gas pump. Though it does lack the performance I'm used to from my prior high horsepower cars, it'll still hug a turn like the best of them adding a little excitement to the drive. |
1998 Honda Civic EX
ProsPeppy, Very Solid Car, Good On Gas, Looks for Price, Handles amazing in snow with the ABS and TCS package. ConsCars are relatively expensive to buy, Everyone has one, Every honda WILL rust in the quarter panel after 3 years(1993-2000).
Civic Duty — I like my car generally, im kinda over that tuner thing and and am looking for a 2005 Ford Escape XLT 4WD. Its a pretty solid car, havent done much repairs for 220k. Its kinda cheap to fix as well. Mine personally was pretty peppy for a 1.6L 4cyl. And the suspension design in it is amazing. Kinda small springs but the rears are really advanced for the cars price. I would highly recommend this car to any tuner or kid who needs or wants a first car, mine was a sedan. and it only let me down once when i got stuck in a foot of snow. But then again... it is a honda civic. :) |
1998 Honda Civic
Prosfast fun and cheap Constrim options
Honda Civic Vti-s — Great fun to drive and fast for the engine size and size of car, cheap to buy now!! And not to bad to insure if youâre in your 20s Every imaginable tuning part available from every were The engines are Bullitt proof, the worst driver wonât kill one of these easily |
1998 Honda Civic EX Coupe
ProsGreat car! Consnone
Civics! — Honda's are known best for their gas efficiency, and their durability over time. I love my car for so many other reasons, but mainly for the simplicity of the cars mechanics. I have already done work with the intake and body work, and will be doing much more with the engine very soon. If you have a hcance to get a civic or accord, get one! |

Spicy Sun Oven Black Beans and Rice
The contrast of the black beans and orange squash make this appealing to both the palate and the eye.
Curried Solar Black Beans, Squash, and Rice
1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded, an cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 onion, chopped
2 tablespoons peeled fresh ginger, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup brown rice
2 teaspoons hot curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups hot water
1 1/2 cups previously cooked black beans
1/2 bunch kale, stems removed, thinly sliced
Set Sun Oven out to preheat.
Spay a baking pan with cooking spay. Spread the squash out in the pan in a single layer. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil and season with salt. Roast in the Sun Oven until tender, 40 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from Sun Oven and set aside.
In a large pot, toss the remaining tablespoon oil with the onion, ginger, and garlic. Cover and sauté in the Sun Oven until the onions begin to soften, about 20 minutes. Heat the water along side the onions. Stir in the rice, curry powder, allspice, salt, beans, kale, and water. Cook, covered, until the water has all been absorbed, about 45 minutes. Remove pot from Sun Oven and stir in the roasted squash.
Makes 4 servings.
Solar Beans and Bacon
This stew is filling enough on its own but for a heartier meal add some grilled sausages. Either way, serve it with some good, crusty bread to soak up all the juices.
Sun Oven Bean and Bacon Stew
4 slices previously cooked bacon, chopped
3 cups previously cooked white beans, (Great Northern, Navy, Cannellini, or Mayocoba)
2 tablespoons bacon fat (or olive oil)
1 onion, chopped
3 carrots, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes, with their juices
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 cup broth, (chicken, vegetable, or beef)
1/4 cup white wine
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon dried thyme
salt and pepper to taste
Set Sun Oven out to preheat.
Heat the bacon fat in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the bacon, beans, tomatoes, tomato paste, broth, wine, bay leaves, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine, cover and transfer to the Sun Oven. Cook until the vegetables are soft and the flavors have blended, about 2 hours. Remove and discard the bay leaves.
Makes 6 to 8 servings.
Green Beans Facts
Green Bean Info
- Green beans are one of the few varieties of beans that can be eaten fresh. Since they are picked while the beans are immature, we are actually eating the seed pods.
- They are a great source for many nutrients including vitamins C & K, manganese and fiber. They are also filled with colorful pigments, carotenoids – like carrots and tomatoes. We don't see these colors because the chlorophyll concentration is so high, it masks them, but heir benefits are there.
- 60% of all commercially grown green beans are available in the United States. You can grow them in your back yard. We planted 12 seeds of "Kentucky Wonder" bush bean variety this year and are harvesting enough beans to feed the two of us every five days. You keep picking, they keep blooming and creating new beans.
- Early summer is the best time to obtain them at the least expense.
- The highest food value is obtained from fresh beans, but you can still get valuable nutrients from green beans that are frozen or canned.
- Frozen beans, when cooked retain about 90% of their B vitamins. Canned ones lose more food value, but some is better than none when you are hungry.
- Green beans have the highest antioxidant capacity of all the other members of the pea and bean families, with a diverse mixture of flavonoids and carotenoids, including lutein.
- They also are a good source of the mineral silicon, which is important for bone health and for healthy formation of connective tissue.
- Additional health benefits include cardiovascular, anti-inflammatory and prevention of type 2 diabetes.
- Known by their Latin name, Phaseolus vulgaris, beans derived from a common bean ancestor, originating in Peru. From there, they were spread to South & Central America by migrating Indian tribes. They were introduced into Europe by Spanish explorers.
- Unwashed beans stored in a plastic bag will keep refrigerated for about seven days.
- Wash before cooking and cut off both ends. Steam them for five minutes and season to taste.
Reference 10 Tips on Growing Bush Beans
Billie Nicholson, Editor
June 2014
Alternative Protein Sources
What are your plans to provide alternative protein sources in an emergency situation?
As you collect canned goods don't forget about this vital nutrient. The human body is nearly half protein, found in muscles, blood, antibodies and enzymes which make other body functions work. Often commercially processed meats are loaded with salt to enhance the flavor. There are other sources. Here are some items to consider adding to your supplies.
- Nuts and Seeds – are high in protein and healthy fats. If you buy them prepackaged, they are ready to eat. They only last six months to a year, depending on the type of nut. Their high oil content reduces shelf life. Peanut butter is high in protein and available dried.
- Beans - are one of the longest cultivated plants, easy to digest and high in fiber. They also help maintain stable blood sugar levels by slowing the rate of carbohydrate absorption.1 Dried beans are economical and store well for an extended period of time. Store them in jars or mylar bags with oxygen absorbers. They will require water for presoaking before cooking, so plan ahead when preparing them. Cook with anise or coriander seeds to reduce flatulence as they're digested by microbes in your intestine. There are lots of varieties for your culinary pleasure. Canned beans can be eaten right after opening, even cold in a power down situation.
- Chia Seeds - have double the amount of protein found in other seeds. Humans began eating chia seeds around 3500 BC. Aztecs and Mayans considered them magical because they increased stamina and energy over long periods.2 Chia seeds are high in fiber, omega fatty acids, calcium, and antioxidants as well. Because they absorb 12 times their weight, their expansion in your stomach will curb your appetite.
- Protein Powders – are available in three common forms, whey, soy and casein. Whey is the most popular because it is a water-soluble milk protein. It contains all nine amino acids necessary to build proteins in the human body. Soy has been favored by vegans, but recently it has been associated with altering estrogen balance. Casein powder is used with cheese production.
- Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) - is produced from soy flour after the oil has been extracted. It is cooked under pressure, extruded and dried. Soy flour has a long shelf life if kept in a cool, dry place. With varying flavors added, it can taste like sausage, beef, ham, bacon or chicken. Easily rehydrated, it is economical and an excellent meat substitute or meal extender. One ounce of TVP is the equivalent of three ounces of meat.3
- Freeze-dried Meat - has the water removed through sublimation, which turns water molecules into vapor. Freeze-drying food affects meat's texture more than other preservation techniques. They are extremely light and easy to carry but more expensive to purchase. While some fruits taste great freeze-dried, meat will need to be rehydrated.
- Powdered Eggs and Milk – made by spray drying, the process removes nearly all of the water prohibiting the growth of microorganisms. Non-fat dried milk is best for long term storage. Eggs are available as whole, yolks and whites. Store cool and dry. Refrigerate when opened.

Solar Cook Today, Eat Today… and Tomorrow
With a little planning you can enjoy solar cooked meals even on cloudy days. Set aside some of the beans from this soup for lunch on a rainy day.
Sun Oven Vegetarian Back Bean Soup
1 pound dried black beans, picked over, rinsed, soaked overnight and drained
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
Sun Oven Italian Beans
Beans that have been seasoned while they cook make a great side dish on their own or they can be stored in the refrigerator for use in soups, stews, risottos, or pasta dishes.
Italian Style Beans
1 pound dried cranberry or cannellini beans, picked over, rinsed, soaked overnight, and drained
Solar White Bean Chili
Whether you call it chili or soup this rich bean stew makes a great dinner on a cold night. The first step, sauteing the onion and garlic, can be done stove top or in the Sun Oven. Use a cast-iron Dutch oven if starting out on the stove or a light-weight metal pot if you want to make it entirely in the Sun Oven.
Sun Oven White Bean Chili
2 cups dried great northern or cannellini beans, picked over, rinsed, soaked overnight, and drained
1 tablespoon olive oil
Solar Vegetarian Chili
Solar Soup with Fresh Rosemary
There were rosemary bushes all over the place in my old neighborhood. It was so easy to go for a walk and snip a couple of sprigs off of one whenever I needed it. No such luck here. Fresh herbs can be expensive, but the flavor is worth it and even though I have what ever the opposite of a green thumb is called I think I'm going to have to plant an herb garden soon.
Sun Oven White Bean Soup with Rosemary
1 pound dry cannellini beans, rinsed and picked over
2 onions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for serving
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 rosemary sprig
Texas Caviar from the Sun Oven
A few years ago I heard a piece on the radio about traditional New Years foods from around the world. I was surprised at how many different cultures consumed some kind of legume to ring in the new year. In Italy they eat lentils with a fatty boiled sausage called cotechino. It's believed to bring good luck and prosperity for the year. I was never very fond of it and usually limited myself to a few bites just in case there was any truth to that belief. Not surprisingly, I've never seen cotechino in the U.S. (but I haven't really looked for it) so I was more than happy to adopt a new tradition when I learned that black-eyed peas were the legume American's equate with the first day of the year.
Solar Texas Caviar
1 pound dry black-eyed peas, picked over and rinsed
1/2 cup cider vinegar
2 teaspoons salt
1/3 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 clove garlic, minced

Vampire Diaries Star Michael Trevino Critiques Latest American Horror Story Episode
Even the Vampire Diaries cast needs to get its supernatural fix somewhere and, for Michael Trevino (Tyler Lockwood), it's with the television anthology series American Horror Story. What did he recently take to Twitter to say about the FX horror? "#AHSCoven was weak tonight. I thought last weeks episode was much better. Spalding is a mutha f&$kin creep man!" Michael tweeted on November 6, apparently after having viewed Season 3, Episode 5 ("Burn, Witch, Burn") of AHS. We totally agree with Michael's assessment of mute butler character Spalding, played fantastically by Denis O'Hare. He has yellow fingernails and Argus Filch hair and, oh yeah, no tongue! We feel for the guy, but he still totally creeps us out. We think AHS is probably good research for Michael, who will soon be appearing on another New Orleans-set supernatural show with witches you may or may not have heard about...Yeah, we're talking about The Originals, where — word on the street is — Tyler will soon pop up, presumably to follow through on his vow to ruin Klaus' life. We've long noticed the thematic similarities between the TVD spin-off and AHS, but now that we know Michael is a fan, our scheming is finally falling into place. We say The Originals ditches TVD and goes for an all-out crossover with AHS instead. The witches are so much cooler (and scarier) on the latter. They would make a much worthier opponent for the Mikaelson family than their current witch population. What do you think? Should The Originals and AHS join forces? Sound off in the comments below! Catch the next episode of The Vampire Diaries on Thursday, November 7 at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.

Monday Night Raw was a little more than just some fake wrestling for Connor Michalek this week. Connor Michalek, a.k.a. "Stone Crusher." Michalek got to meet his favorite wrestler Daniel Bryan (and tap him out) after the taping in Pittsburgh. Michalek was diagnosed with cancer of the brain and spine at the age of 3-years-old. According to KDKA, doctors gave Connor a less than one percent chance of survival. Nothing like putting a smile on the face a little kid with cancer at Christmas time. It will put a smile on anyone's face. Not very familiar with Daniel Bryan, but big shout out to him and his monster James Harden beard. Check out the video of the two below.

Thank you love for your purches heart heart
Been a Gaia user since 2004 (my first account is a mule now). I'm mostly a B/C junkie, but I'll lurk almost anywhere. I have a small collection of pets from the earlier part of my Gaia-dom, but since I've been gone for more than a year, I'm facing high costs of Premium items (but that I still realllly want) and a B/C world that's not like anything I've been used to. Lets see if I can catch up.Seikueon is an OC. But it also has a lot of other meanings:
sigh-koo-ee-on (not Japanese's say-kyu-eh-on)
Roughly translated into Japanese, though, it means "obligated towards a life of pain" or "painful slang".
Slavic/old German translates roughly to "to be me for eternity".
-eon means I'm an Eevee evolution.
But it actually comes from my favorite SquareEnix characters Seifer Almasy, Riku, and Squall Leonhart.
I'm 26, not the least bit mature for my age, and I spend most days working at my awesome second-hand store job. I say awesome because I enjoy collecting stuff (any wonder I like the Gaia items and grabbing up pets?) and a thrift store is wonderful for that. But I don't like the hours (never been a morning person) and I've developed chronic back pain after spending years being annoyed by everyone else that does. Either irony or karma... In my spare time I work in my studio making steampunk and victorianpunk -influenced jewelry and hats.
My interests? More than anything, comic books. But I'm a DC, not a Marvel. Check below for my favorite characters.
After comic books, it's Disney, Final Fantasy, and of course Kingdom Hearts. I read a lot, but mostly young adult sci-fi novels. All the awesomness of Star Wars and anime, none of the sex of most fantasy crap. You can pretty much call me a sci-fi geek, but since I don't have cable, I don't watch any of those shows. I watch the movies and read the comics. Oh, I also love DDR, the Lego games, and pretty much epic-ness. But I also love silly crud like South Park and some of those Family Guy jokes. I used to watch anime, but the shows have changed so much, I don't know if I could call myself an anime fan.
Favorite Characters (that also double as cosplays I want in shops)
Robin (Tim Drake)
Flash (Wally West) and Impulse (Bart Allen)
Green Lantern (Guy Gardner)
Joker and Harley Quinn
Nightcrawler (okay, I like some Marvel)
Lucy in the Sky and Sister Grimm (Runaways)
Kyle Brofloski Eric Cartman (South Park)
Mulan, Kida, Jasmine (Disney)
Lisa Frank characters
Wonderland characters
Peter Pan characters
Riku, Axel
Zax/Zack, Sephiroth, Yazoo, Seifer Almasy, Rikku
Yu-Gi-Oh! characters (especially Kaiba and Jounochi/Joey. Dark Magician & Dark Magician Girl, others... )
Yuujiro Shihoudani (Princess*Princess)
Nuriko (Fuushigi Yuugi)
Skurai, the Cursed Prosecutor (Ragnarok)
Kyoya Ootori (Ouran Host Club)
(Probably anybody from Paradise Kiss)
Other Stuff I like, but no favorite characters:
Harry Potter books
Uglies book series
Holes (book)
A lot more...I love books, but it's hard for me to star them...
Star Wars
Fight Club
Cats Don't Dance
A lot more...loves movies...
YuYu Hakusho
Rurouni Kenshin
Only the Ring Finger Knows
Probably a lot more...

Can anyone help figure out what model Cannondale this is. Google was no help. The serial number starts with an N so I believe it is a 2002 model. Picked it up cheap, needs some TLC but rides really nice as is. It is all black including the spokes and rims and there are Gargoyles ? Demons? on the front fork and post. The frame is very nicely done with no sign of weld joints at all. Weighed as is with a luggage scale is comes in right at 22 lbs.

Train like a Milwaukee Brewers prospect, part 2
In Part One of this series, the Nashville Sounds' athletic trainer Aaron Hoback gave some insight into how the players stay healthy in preparation for making the transition to The Milwaukee Brewers. He even gave his prescription for the number one exercise any athlete should be performing for health, functionality and athleticism – the Turkish Get Up.
Have you been doing them? I even showed you a non-weighted, beginner version in a video on my Instagram account!
In this installment, we get to the specific details included in the daily training regime of a professional baseball player prepping to one day play at Miller Park. My biggest takeaway from this particular interview was that 80 percent of a professional athletes' program is sport specific. That leaves 10 percent for strength and 10% for "everything else."
This is a great theory to apply to your athletic endeavors. So, if rock climbing is your thing – spend 80 percent of your time focusing on direct rock climbing skills, but make room for that other twenty percent of strength training and "other stuff" like flexibility and cardio.
Below, you'll find my conversation with The Sounds' strength and sonditioning specialist, Andrew Emmick, who gave me that piece of golden advice.
Emmick is responsible for designing and implementing precise training programs for the entire team. Emmick gives unprecedented insight here into what really goes on in a pro-athlete's day and drops tons of valuable training information anyone interested in being and staying active will gain from. Reading Emmick's daily schedule is fascinating. Try not to get vicariously exhausted, considering the agenda he and the team must adhere to.
Baseball enthusiasts and fitness fanatics alike will obtain inspiration from this super interview. Find out more about the future Brewers by following the Sounds on Facebook and Twitter. And be sure to look for the final installment in this series, which will be a workout from Emmick custom designed for OnMilwaukee.com readers to workout like a prospective Milwaukee Brewer.
Lindsay Garric: As the strength and conditioning specialist for the Nashville Sounds, what is your typical day like?
Andrew Emmick: I will give you a typical day with a 7:05 p.m. game at home. I show up to work around 11am and get started with computer work / setting up for the day to come. Players show up around 1 p.m,. and I will head over to my weight-room and prepare for their arrival. Pitchers' stretch is at 3:30 p.m., followed by Position Player stretch at 3:50 p.m.
Before early work / stretch, I will have players come over to the weight-room and do some corrective work / activation / lifting. I will guide each of them through a program, or I will monitor them and make sure they are doing everything correctly. Most of them will be on a different program from one another.
When 3:30 p.m. rolls around, I take the pitchers and guide them through a dynamic warm-up for 5 minutes, followed by a static stretch for 8-10 minutes. I then take my relief pitchers and condition them. Their conditioning will change daily, but consists mostly of sprint work.
Once they finish conditioning, they will start their throwing program and I will gather up the position players at 3:50 p.m. and take them through the same stretch. When I am done with them, they will start their throwing program and I will go back to the pitchers and make sure all the starting pitchers are getting their conditioning / lifting done.
Each starting pitcher has a routine for each day between starts and I make sure they are sticking to it and putting forth a great effort. One starting pitcher usually throws a bullpen each day, and I will take them to the weight-room to perform an upper body lift / shoulder program / core work once they have completed it.
Batting practice starts around 4:15 p.m., and this is usually spent guiding a starting pitcher through a workout or doing some computer work. Around 6:40 p.m., I will go out to the foul line and stretch a few guys out individually before the game. During the game, I will get times of position players running from home to first, make sure everyone is drinking enough fluids and occasionally stretch someone if they are possibly coming in for a pinch hit / double switch.
When our starting pitcher comes out of the game, I will take him to the training room and guide him through our shoulder program. When the game ends, I will assist the athletic trainer, if necessary, in the training room. If he doesn't need me, I will grab my computer and finish up my reports. Approximately an hour after the game, I will shower up and head home for the night. This typical day is very similar to what we would do on the road, except that I take a group of players to the designated gym (provided by the home team) every morning at 10 a.m.
LG: The "purpose" of the Nashville Sounds is to prepare players for the Milwaukee Brewers. Do you ever find that players get too motivated with their training? For instance, have you ever had a player want to move up so badly that he's overtrained? How do you deal with this?
AE: By the time a player reaches Triple A, they usually will have a routine or an idea of what they need to do in order to play at the best of their ability. Occasionally, we will have guys that want to go 100 percent at all times, and we just remind them of how long the season is and that they must give themselves recovery periods.
The guys that can typically overwork are the players at the lower levels. Most of them are coming out of high school and college, and they aren't familiar with playing every day. They try to continue their old routine, and at some point we will notice them "hitting a wall."
Once a player finishes their first full season of professional ball, they will have an idea of how to train during the season. Starting pitchers at each level are also the players that can occasionally overtrain. They have more downtime than the other players, so they feel like they have to constantly be doing something in the weight-room. The athletic trainer and I pay close attention to their programs and make sure they are taking recovery weeks and not overworking themselves.
LG: Without revealing any trade secrets, what is a general player workout like?
AE: A baseball player's goal is to excel in their sport, and they lift to get a strength advantage over an opponent of equal skill. And if they hope to climb the ladder to the big leagues, practicing their baseball skills must dominate their schedule.
Strength training must take up as little of their time and energy as possible – all in hopes of leaving them with as much gas in the tank as possible for paying baseball. A player's daily schedule should consist of 80 percent sport skill practice, 10 percent strength training, and 10 percent of everything else.
With our hectic baseball schedule of playing 144 games in 152 days, I like for the guys to lift once per series, or every four days. These workouts are short and basic during the season (less than 40 minutes in duration,) but we still focus on getting stronger. I like for them to perform a total body lift, which will consist of 2-3 upper body lifts, 2-3 lower body lifts, and 2 core stabilization exercises. These lifts are usually large muscle lifts, such as pull-ups or squats.
Most workouts are very similar, with maybe a tweak here and there for certain guys. I try to keep the reps in the 3-5 range, keeping the volume around 10-12 reps per lift (3-4 sets of 3-5 reps.) This doesn't mean that higher volumes are not effective in building strength. It's just that the fatigue and soreness that accompany high-volume training make it inappropriate for our athletes.
Recovery is rapid and soreness is minimal after low-rep, low-set heavy lifting. As for intensity, we train in the 80-90 percent 1RM intensity zone. The idea is to build as much strength as possible while staying as fresh as possible for the games. When it comes to program design, I like to vary the intensity every workout. For my guys during the season, they vary from a medium intensity to a high intensity to a low intensity, and then repeat.
Aside from strength training, we also make sure our guys are doing preventative work a few times per series. The game of baseball and the movements involved cause a lot of muscular imbalances, asymmetries, weaknesses and tightness, which in time can lead to injuries.
Before the season, we have all players perform a functional movement screen. This screen can help prevent injuries by identifying risk factors. Once we know where each player is at risk, we design programs to help correct these movements. Each player will have different results from the FMS test, some worse than others. We advise the players to perform the corrective exercises daily to help lower their chances of an injury occurring in the future.
LG: How much do training routines differ between the Sounds and the Brewers?
AE: We try to keep our daily schedules and workout programs as similar as possible so that when a player gets promoted, he is able to keep the same routine without affecting his baseball activities. The strength and conditioning staff and the medical staff throughout the Brewers organization work very well together. We share ideas and communicate extremely well. Our main goals throughout the organization are to keep players healthy, strong and on the field so that the Milwaukee Brewers can compete to become World Champions.

What exactly is a longboard? Well, it sure looks like a skateboard. But, it's longer and wider with larger wheels.

Singers are always welcome! Auditions are usually held for the first three Mondays as we begin a new portion of our season. We accept the best of any local choirs, and offer the opportunity to learn more ambitious repertoire in a limited amount of time to become performance-ready with professional soloists and orchestras.
Bach wrote six Motets, whose use was unclear. They may have been written for processions from the church to a grave after a funeral rite. Whatever their reason for being, they are among the most challenging works in the choral repertoire. We have performed Motets 1, 3 and 6 in the past. This November we will program #5 (BWV 229, Komm, Jesu, Komm) and #6 (BWV 230, Lobet den Herrn, alle Heiden) with the entire Choral Society, and #2 (BWV 226, Der Geist hilft unser Schwachheit auf) with a small group. Mozart will also be included, with his Missa brevis KV 275 in B flat.
As always, we present Messiah, Part I in December, with our fabulous orchestra members. These professional musicians work throughout the Metropolitan Area and are based in New York City as well as on Long Island. We are so delighted to be able to have them perform with us. Our Artist-in-Residence, Matthew Curran, Bass- baritone, will be featured in the November, December and March concerts. You will be so excited to hear his artistry once again! Our March Concert will be Bachs Mass in B minor.
Costs to run a choral society are crushing! We are so pleased to announce that we will be rehearsing at the South Side Middle School in Rockville Centre this season for NO COST!!! One of our new Board Members researched the Island for the best option, and RVC won, hands down. Our thanks to her, Dylan Levene, and to the Head of the Arts Department, Brian Zuar. We can afford at least a string quintet for the savings this affords us!
Heavenly music awaits your participation or attendance. We look forward to more members from Rockville Centre joining us, and hope that we will find support by Patrons and Sponsors in you, our subscribers. Please help us by asking your local professional (dentist, doctor) or small business to take an ad in our programs. We continue through your enthusiasm and effort!
