ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan women's basketball team used a late run to wear down Iowa State, defeating the Cyclones, 56-49, on Sunday afternoon (Dec. 4) at Crisler Arena.
The Wolverines found themselves down 37-32 with 10 minutes left in the game but scored 11 consecutive points during a 16-5 run to take the lead for the remainder of the game.
Courtney Boylan (Chaska, Minn./Chaska) led all players with 17 points on 5-of-9 shooting, adding four rebounds and two assists. Her three-pointer with 10 minutes remaining in the game ended an 8-0 run by ISU and jump started Michigan's key run.
Kate Thompson (Plymouth, Minn./Wayzata) added 15 points off the bench, including two three-pointers, while chipping in four rebounds and a team-high four assists. Jenny Ryan (Saginaw, Mich./Saginaw Nouvel Catholic Central) recorded he second double-double of the season, posting 11 points and 10 rebounds. She led the team in scoring with eight points and four boards at the break.
To end the first half, the Wolverines found themselves in front 24-22 at the thanks to a Boylan jumper from the elbow and a Thompon three-pointer from the wing in the last two minutes. U-M shot just 40 percent in the first half (10-25) but shot 44.5 percent (4-9) from the three-point range to hold the advantage. The Cyclones shot 39.1 percent (9-of-23) in the first 20 minutes and only 26.7 percent (4-of-15) from the arch.
U-M forced Iowa State into 12 first-half turnovers and capitalized, posting 15 points from ISU's miscues. For the game, U-M registered 21 points from ISU turnovers and was lifted by 20 bench points.
The second half was a game of runs. U-M was down 30-24 after an Iowa State 8-0 start in the opening minutes. Carmen Reynolds (Hilliard, Ohio/Davidson) scored her only basket of the game to end the charge, sparking a Michigan 8-0 run to put the Wolverines in front 32-30.
After Iowa State went ahead 37-32, the Wolverines responded when Boylan and Rachel Sheffer (Watervliet, Mich./Watervliet) each drained three-pointers. On U-M's next offensive set, Sheffer found Boylan inside with a nifty pass to put U-M up, 40-37, before Thompson was fouled and connected a three-point play at the line, for a 43-38 lead.
U-M stretched its largest lead of the game to 46-38 after a three-pointer by Sam Arnold (Medinah, Ill./Lake Park). A Ryan basket with 2:52 left put U-M up by seven, despite a barrage of three-pointers down the stretch, Iowa State never pulled closer than four points. Clutch free-throw shooting by Boylan (6-of-6) polished off the victory for the Wolverines.
ISU shot 33.9 percent overall, including 27.8 from the arch and was backed by Hallie Christofferson's 13 points and 10 rebounds. Chelsea Poppens added nine points and 11 rebounds, while Jessica Schroll chipped in 12 points for the Cyclones.

Toxic Metal Avoidance
Summary: Wear no jewelry where metal touches the skin. Use enamel coated or glass cookware for long term use. Use lexan utensils when possible.
Many metals are necessary in small amounts for health, like nickel, iron, copper, etc. However, this is only if the metal is in a form which is absorbable and usable by the body (trivalent vs hexavalent, e.g.). Otherwise, it is treated as a toxin, and removed by the white blood cells. If the elimination of that particular substance is somehow hampered, as when the kidneys are full of crystals and stones or the liver is compromised, it can accumulate in certain parts of the body. This may lead to compromised immune function in those areas and leave them more vulnerable to chronic parasitic or bacterial infection, as well as cause the cells to absorb less nutrients and oxygen, possibly increasing cancer risk.
Many processed foods contain hydrogenated oils. This is to increase the shelf life since it prevents the oil from going rancid. Besides the health effects of the hydrogenated oil alone which make it worse than saturated fats, hydrogenation occurs in the presence of a toxic metal for a catalyst, like nickel or aluminum, and small but measurable amounts are included along with the product.
Stainless steel also contains nickel and chromium, both of which can be stored as toxins in the body. Good quality hard stainless leaches these ingredients less than poor quality. There is a difference in opinion on which is safer - the magnetic or non-magnetic type of stainless steel. Some say the non magnetic, since it is harder and less likely to leach any metals, is safest. Some say that the magnetic type is safest since it has more iron and less nickel (some even have no nickel) and nickel is the most toxic metal in the stainless steel. To be safest, avoid ingesting or absorbing as much metal as possible, and avoid even stainless steel. However, if it must be used, it is the opinion of eRegimens that the non-magnetic type is best.
Non metal utensils and vessels are available. Heavy duty Lexan plastic tableware is inexpensive. It can be purchased at the scouting.org website.
Ceramic coated cooking vessels are good, as is glass cookware, like Corning. Le Creuset, Prinz, and Pfaltzgraff make enamel coated cookware. Aluminum is also treated as a toxin by the body, and since cooking vessels made of it scratch easily, it is a poor choice. Teflon coating is okay for very occasional use if not heated excessively, but if a pan is to be used a great deal, it is best to get ceramic coated. An inexpensive complementary to the high priced cookware like Prinz and Le Creuset are those blue-with-white-speckled coated pots and pans. They are available at some stores in the cookware, but usually more often in camping supplies. When any coated cookware chips or otherwise exposes the metal, replace it.
When using pots and pans, never use a metal utensil to stir or serve. High heat plastic utensils are available. Calphalon makes plastic utensils which do not deform under high heat, forming ridges and pockets where bacteria may breed.
If one wears a watch, thin clear plastic film or tape can be used to coat the metal back to prevent it from touching the skin or better yet get one of the widely available watchbands (like at WalMart) where the nylon webbing runs behind the watch. If one works with tools a lot, rubber coating is available into which to dip tool handles.
Aluminum is used as an anti-caking agent in most salts. It is not used in KAL Real Salt, Hain Sea Salt, or Baleine salt. Avoid aluminum in deodorants and antiperspirants. Do not consume beverages from aluminum cans. Avoid food from "tin" cans when possible.
Metal plumbing is a problem from the copper and other metals which it can leach. Copper is not as much as problem as solder joints on older houses which can contain lead. Galvanized pipes are also a hazard, according to Clark. If there is metal plumbing, filter through carbon if possible before consuming.
Gold can accumulate in certain parts of the body, notably the reproductive organs. Long term exposure can cause problems, especially in the uterus, testicles, prostate, and pancreas.
Mercury is one of the most toxic metals that accumulates in the body. Of course, mercury fillings can be a problem as can the preservatives in vaccines, and these appear to cause the majority of acute problems. These are differences in recommendations among complementary health advocates regarding mercury fillings (also known as "silver" fillings). Some say that any mercury in the mouth should be removed as soon as possible. Others say that once fillings are in there for a few years that it does more harm than good to remove them. I tend to agree with this latter statement. I have known people who appeared to be making progress against disorders that are possibly exacerbated by mercury in the tissues, like MS and ALS, do much worse after mercury fillings were removed. This may be due to the large amount absorbed when they are drilled out. If they are to be removed, it would be prudent to use a heavy metal cleansing regimen before and after to possibly reduce the accumulation. This would be to use high dose C, plenty of water (The Water Cure), fresh cilantro (eat a bunch per day), and use a chlorella supplement. Alpha lipoic acid may also help in this regard. RenewLife also makes a product called Heavy Metal Cleanse that may be a good adjunct.
Dr. Mercola (www.mercola.com) states that eating fish, not dentalwork, is the major source of mercury exposure. He recommends using molecularly distilled fish oil (except for the worst department and drugstore types, all of them are this type these days) instead of eating fish. But, these fish are supposedly the least likely to be contaminated with mercury: Summer Flounder, Wild Pacific Salmon, Croaker, Sardines, Haddock, Tilapia. The longest-lived fish accumulate the most mercury and these include shark, swordfish, and tuna.
On the other hand, Hulda Clark says dentalwork, not eating fish, is the major source of mercury exposure.

Asian-Pacific Heritage Street Fair and a Little Wine Tasting.
Let's go.
Sampling of stalls.
Loud and proud.
Part of Tenderloin District - a high-crime neighborhood. It's not the place tourists see. It's getting cleaned up, I hope. 409 historic bldgs in 33 blocks!!!!
Me want food.
She's getting ready while I queue for my food.
It was the last one on the list that I was lining up for.
They were selling it.
Nearby, I saw that I was too late for sugar cane juice.
Asian musicians perform outside of Harrington Pub.
A better look at the mural.
Another mural.
Jackie Chan's mural????
Walked all the way to the end of the street fair and found a really cool Vietnamese sandwich store where we got a banh mi and two baguettes that were just coming out of the oven. We munched on the freshly baked french baguette - feeling European - while retracing our steps when I bumped into an ex-co-worker. We chatted a bit about life.
Too early to go home, our next target was to see the city hall. I haven't seen it in all the years I've lived here. But alas, it was closed on the weekends, sad.
The Golden State Warriors (basketball team) flag was flying to acknowledge the achievements made by the team this season.
One of these days, I'd take a day off and visit the city hall.
Beautiful sunny day with blue skies and mid 60-degree temperature, what could be better?
On the way to the parking lot (several blocks away) we saw kids from the Sikh community performing their ministry of serving meals one plate at a time. I told one of the boys what a fine job they're doing.
One of the scenes we passed near UN Plaza. The TRUTH just grabbed me.
Was standing on the curb waiting for the walk sign when a feeling of New Orleans overcame me and I snapped a photo because this reminded me of the Queen city of the South.
No reason, just loved the mural that we passed by. Notice hubby carrying the still hot baguette like a jewel.
Before leaving San Fran we thought we'd drive by Treasure Island to see if there is a weekend flea market.
It used to be a naval station.
No flea market that day, instead there was free wine tasting. It's fresh wine that we tasted. Donations are encouraged.
The Bay Bridge - lesser known to sister Golden Gate Bridge.
SKYWATCH is a weekly gathering of sky lovers and sky watchers.

I've so many things to say, the task of typing everything up is daunting. Let's just say that I loved everything about this post and of the street fair (and the terracotta warriors too). I'd love to see those 409 historic buildings when the neighborhood gets safer (and probably more expensive).ReplyDelete
i love the vibe here amidst the warning.ReplyDelete
and the mural does look a bit like jackie chan /samo hung! ^0^
but the food,
ah, that's one thing i also looove! ^0^

We believe that implementing UHC has more to do with political will, social solidarity and effective governance than the ability of the state to ensure sustainable funding.
The evolution of health care will closely mirror the economic development of the country. Assuming that the average GDP growth of 7% witnessed over the last few years continues for the next decade as well, key factors that will decide the success of UHC program are as follows:
1. Focus on health outcomes: It is critical to calibrate the aspiration of UHC and the enhanced spend on health care, with an equally sharp focus on improving health outcomes.
This is necessary not only to limit any wasteful expenditure but also ensure that focus is on health and not merely sickness. Key levers for focus would include:
2. Taking care to where the patient is: It is critical to ensure adequate generation and equitable distribution of supply of health services under a UHC program. Key levers for focus would include:
3. Ensuring strong focus on cost of care: To ensure that the financial burden of an UHC is managed effectively, the UHC regime demands a strong culture of cost consciousness. Key levers for focus include:
4. Enabling governance: An effective and efficient UHC regime demands optimal health system governance that ensures transparency, defines the appropriate levels of checks and balances to secure integrity of delivery and provides granular epidemiological data for evidence-based decisions. Key levers for focus include:
5. Building centers of excellence (CoE): The adoption of UHC as a policy imperative will entail providing access and affordability to all in the short and medium term.
Advancement of care will also be an equally important imperative to attain UHC in the true spirit. This will necessitate seeding investments to build CoE for medical needs that are relevant to Indian epidemiology and in designated geographic zones that are accessible to all for the most complex of care. This will help the country attain medical and research excellence.

Surgery is an essential element throughout a woman's journey with ovarian cancer. Initially, an operation is typically necessary to make an accurate diagnosis of ovarian cancer. Then, surgery is performed to determine how advanced the cancer is—a process called staging—and to remove as much of the cancerous mass as possible, which may involve more than one surgical procedure. Because surgery is integral to the diagnosis and management of ovarian cancer, partnering with an expert surgical team is critical.
You'll find that expertise at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins. We possess decades of in-the-trenches experience, consistently using the most advanced and effective methods of surgery and cutting edge tools. In fact, our gynecology oncologists who perform these delicate and complex surgeries have led or co-authored studies that inform the most recent surgical advances for ovarian cancer.
What to Expect from Ovarian Cancer Surgery
Initial Steps
The diagnosis. We use a minimally invasive surgical (MIS) approach to evaluate and diagnose patients presenting with an ovarian mass. Advantages of MIS for a benign, or non-cancerous, tumor include:
- No overnight stay (usually)
- Faster recovery
Immediate evaluation. During the initial MIS procedure, our expert gynecologic pathologists evaluate the ovarian mass and, within 30 minutes, relay their findings to our surgical team. If the mass is malignant, additional surgery occurs immediately.
Comprehensive staging evaluation. Precise staging involves performing biopsies on sites throughout the pelvis and abdominal cavity, thereby determining the extent of the disease. This critical step determines the appropriate course of treatment.
- Some patients with Stage 1 disease require no additional therapy
- Most patients with Stages 11 through IV require chemotherapy.
- Comprehensive staging uncovers advanced stage disease in a considerable number of patients with ovarian cancer.
Next Steps
If you have stage 1 ovarian cancer:
Fertility preservation is a viable option for a select group of women with Stage 1 ovarian cancer and no evidence of the disease outside the ovary. Under these circumstances, we use a more conservative surgical approach, preserving the uterus, disease-free ovary and fallopian tube. Ultimately, these steps preserve a patient's childbearing potential.
If you have advanced ovarian cancer:
Optimal debulking. When we operate, we strive for optimal debulking, which means removing all the cancer except for residual nodules less than 1 cm. in diameter. Our vast experience, coupled with the use of the latest in surgical devices, ensures the most precise results. Occasionally, nodules that are too numerous or located in areas that make removal too risky prevent optimal debulking.
If you have recurrent disease:
Secondary debulking sometimes is performed on patients with recurrent disease. This step is preceded by aggressive surveillance techniques using advanced imaging that determine the location of new lesions. During secondary debulking, we can take samples of cancerous tissue and test their resistance to certain chemotherapy drugs, thereby making subsequent chemotherapy for each individual patient more targeted and effective.
Who is a candidate for secondary debulking? Patients who have:
- Been in remission for at least 12 months, an indication of responsiveness to chemotherapy
- Good performance status, meaning the ability to tolerate a second surgical effort
- Relatively localized disease (recurrence at a lymph node or lesion in spleen or liver)
Intraperitoneal chemotherapy delivers high doses of chemotherapy directly into the abdomen via a catheter. Pioneering research led by a Johns Hopkins researcher has found that patients with advanced ovarian cancer who receive traditional chemotherapy coupled with intraperitoneal chemotherapy attain significantly better survival rates than those who receive only traditional chemotherapy following surgery.
Intraperitoneal chemotherapy involves the surgical placement of an intraperitoneal (IP) port, the size of a half dollar, under the skin in the upper quadrant of the abdominal wall. A catheter attached to the port reaches directly into the pelvis, delivering chemotherapy. Surgical placement of the port requires a one-inch incision, closed with sutures that readily dissolve under the skin. After completion of chemotherapy, the port is surgically removed through a minor procedure that takes less than an hour.
Monitoring for Recurrence -- Surveillance
Women diagnosed with ovarian cancer are at risk for recurrence. That's why patients at the Kimmel Cancer Center undergo close surveillance through physical exams and blood tests (including CA 125 and radiographic imaging) to watch for recurrent disease. An ovarian cancer recurrence presents many choices; no one option is right for every patient. We strive to determine a patient's priorities in order to make the most informed therapeutic recommendation, which may involve one or more of the following strategies:
- Additional chemotherapy (Note: recent studies suggest that deferring chemotherapy until a patient becomes symptomatic may reduce side effects without adversely affecting survival)
- Additional surgery
- Biologic therapies that target metabolic "pathways" of unrestricted cancer growth

|They just wouldn't be the Sixers if they didn't kick you in the face just when you were starting to believe. The only question after tonight's drubbing at the hands of the Celtics is whether the sky is falling, or if it has already fallen. The only guys who can answer that question are the Sixers players, and they won't get a chance to answer it until they take the floor on Friday night. (game capsule).
Latest comment: from TwoSenseRoy Hibbert ... Marreese Speights ... damn...
|First step for a lower seed in a seven game series: Split the first two on the road. Second step: Take game three. Third step: let's not get ahead of ourselves. The Sixers took one of two in Boston, now they need to take care of their home floor. Tonight, the Celitcs will look to take home court advantage back and send a message to the Sixers. That's the narrative they'd like to follow. I've got something different in mind.
Latest comment: from Derek BodnerMorrisville....
|The Sixers and Celtics have been engaged in a fierce battle through these first two games. Both teams have escaped mostly unscathed as far as injuries go. Elton Brand is nursing a shoulder/neck problem from the Chicago series. Avery Bradley left game two with a shoulder problem. Thad Young tweaked an ankle. Ray Allen and Paul Pierce have both been dealing with leg issues. Injuries alone don't tell the whole story of the toll the Celtics have paid.
|This is why we watch playoff basketball. The highs, the lows, the growth, the guts...Just an amazing, amazing display of intestinal fortitude by the Sixers tonight in taking home court advantage away from the Boston Celtics, 82-81. A huge win, and a big first step. Meaningless, though, without the next three. Don't get too high, don't get too low. (game capsule).
|Lost amid the hysteria of Derrick Rose's injury in round one was a significant change Doug Collins made prior to game two. If you recall, Rose didn't really kill the Sixers in that opening loss, he scored an inefficient 23 points. Rip Hamilton and Kyle Korver killed the Sixers by running through a series of screens. That play didn't hurt the Sixers again after the first game. The Sixers adjustments made Kyle Korver a complete non-factor and had Rip looking elsewhere for offensive opportunities. What adjustments will we see tonight?
Latest comment: from JesseWhat player has carried a team on his own to a championship? I guess you could count Dirk. Who else?...
|This is going to be more of a war than a series. The first battle went to the Celtics tonight. The Sixers blew an opportunity to steal game one on the road, but this is far from a death knell. This was the Sixers setting the tone and showing the Celtics they're in for a fight. This was also 36 minutes for Kevin Garnett, 39 minutes for Paul Pierce and 40 minutes for Rajon Rondo, to hold serve. As the road team, you want to split the first two games. It's just going to have to happen in game two. (game capsule)
|Kevin Garnett is sick of people calling him old. Well, that's too bad because he is old. He's old, and Doc Rivers has been forced to grossly overwork him to get the Celtics into the playoffs and through the first round. It's time for all of those minutes to come back to haunt Garnett and Pierce. It's time for the Sixers to use their young legs to run the shallow, old Celtics right out of the playoffs.
Latest comment: from Hobe Sound KayakingHello, its fastidious post concerning media print, we all understand media is a fantastic source of facts....
|The Celtics' systematic dismantling of the Sixers on Easter dropped Philly 3 games back for the division, tied with the Knicks for the #7 seed (on the wrong end of the tiebreaker) and one game ahead of Milwaukee for the coveted #9 seed and an early start to their summer. Quite a day. (game capsule)
Latest comment: from mymanjrueyou mean flooding players with so many texts after games that they shut off their phones?...
|The only thing I like more than winning is winning big. The only thing I like more than winning big is winning over Boston. The only thing I like more than winning over Boston is beating Boston like a rented mule and sending them home with their tail between their legs and two games separating the Sixers from them in the standings. Evan Turner, welcome to the party. (game capsule).
Latest comment: from sixerfan1220korver has missed about 5 wide open looks...
|The Sixers lost to the Bucks, in large part, because they were tired after playing a tough game the night before against the Bulls. Actually, it's not just the fact they played the night before, it was also a result of Milwaukee realizing that and pushing the pace against Philly. They made the game into a track meet early, the Sixers had absolutely no legs left late. Tonight, Boston will drag their old roster to Philly fresh off an overtime win against the Rockets and a combined 164 minutes for their big four. One word: Run.
Latest comment: from Alvinyou can't handle the Shav! He was a good rebounder. Seriously. At least better than our current big men....

FROM: NYC Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster, Emotional and Spiritual Care Committee
Superstorm Sandy's first anniversary is October 29th. As members of organizations providing emotional and spiritual care to those affected by Sandy and all disasters, we'd like to acknowledge that many throughout our area are still experiencing a range of emotions. This includes those most directly affected, others across the city, and those who have responded.
We'd like to highlight to the public that it can be natural for disaster anniversaries to trigger a variety of strong reactions, and at the same time there are coping skills and resources that can comfort and help us recover.
Disasters such as Superstorm Sandy have on-going effects on our emotional, spiritual, physical and financial lives -and impact housing, employment, relationships, and so much more. Among many expressions, children may show behaviors from earlier years, teens and adolescents may act out or become isolated, and adults may turn to adverse coping behaviors such as increasing alcohol or drug use.
Many individuals and communities show resilience after disasters. Some may need extra time or support to recover – which is natural and to be expected. That support can come in different forms and from different sources. There is no timeline for when people should 'get over' the struggles they face. As the anniversary of Sandy approaches people may feel anxious or overwhelmed. Below are examples of things anyone can do to lessen these feelings:
- Be aware that anniversaries and special days can be difficult, so be gentle with yourself and others
- Connect to friends and loved ones, accept kindness and help, and reach out and ask for help if needed. Helping others can often help us as well. Consider volunteering at a favorite organization.
- Do whatever you normally do to cope in positive ways with stress – take walks, go running, get outdoors – and be sure to make time to do these things in the days before, on, and after the 29th
- Partake in rituals that may provide soothing comfort, and talk about your losses if you need to
- Do something positive that you would like to do, rather than what you or others might think you should do for the anniversary
- Draw on your faith/spirituality for guidance and support
If you have tried these healthy coping tips and still find yourself struggling, here are some local and national resources available to you:
- For free confidential support when feeling overwhelmed in NYC, Long Island, or Westchester County, contact Project Hope (24/7) at 1-800-LIFENET (English), 1-877-AYUDESE (Spanish), 1-877-990-8585 (Korean, Mandarin, Cantonese) http://www.omh.ny.gov/omhweb/disaster_resources/project_hope/
- If you need help/a connection to concrete resources, a trained and compassionate Disaster Case Manager from one of the 19 agencies participating in the NY State Disaster Case Management Program can answer your questions about recovery, work with you to develop a plan to address your needs, and connect you with appropriate community resources. Call the Sandy DCM Referral line at 1-855-258-0483 (Monday-Friday, 9am – 5pm). For more info, visit www.sandydcm.org.
- The Disaster Distress Helpline is also available 24/7 for New Yorkers and anyone in the U.S./territories affected by and struggling after Hurricane Sandy or any other natural or human-caused disaster (1-800-985-5990 / text "TalkWithUs" to 66746) http://disasterdistress.samhsa.gov/

It can be: The big bumps on the back of your tongue are probably your taste buds.

You can just brush the surface of your tongue every day and that will help eliminate the coating. ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer

I have bumps on the back of my tongue that r causing a sore throat?
Anatomy of tongue: Those bumps were almost certainly always there- you just probably never looked that closely before. The anatomy of the tongue is rather complex after all.

Look for redness or pus spots - if you have that with a fever, you'll need to see a doc to make sure you don't have Strep. TC ...Read more

text: You'll need a 14mm triple square. I bought a set online made by VIM Tools for about $35. Made in Taiwan but surprisingly good quality. I noticed a lot of triple square bolts when I was under the car. Thought it would be a good idea to have a set. Also, they are stretch bolts and they are a bear to get out. You can reuse them if you use a thread lock when you reinstall them.

Okay ya all. Let's keep this clean. No eye poking, groin kicking :smt062:numbchuck: or shooting allowed.:smt071 No, "I'm right and you're a moron!" comments.:smt062 :smt097This is to learn and that's why I am posting this. kiss, kiss, hug, hug :heart:
Ive been thinking hard about what caliber I want for my next CCW. I want a smaller gun than my G23 and have been looking at the Kel-Tec PF-9 but its had so many problem Ive pretty much eliminated it. Next would be the P-11 (9mm) or P3-AT (.380).
So I did a little research and this is what I found. I used the same round for comparison. Federal JHP Hydra-Shok
TKO=Taylor Index
Penetration= Four plastic jugs filled with water.
TKO value = [ Weight (gr) x Terminal Velocity (fps) x caliber (in) ] ÷ 7000 (higher the better)
Firearm: Browning Hi-Power
Barrel Length: 4.75"
Caliber: 9MM Luger
Bullet Diameter: 0.355"
Bullet Weight: 124 grains
Make: Federal JHP Hydra-Shok
Velocity: 1117 FPS
Recovered Bullet Diameter: 0.635"
Recovered Bullet Weight: 120.5 grains
Distance From Muzzle: 20'
Penetration: 15
Firearm: Beretta 84F
Barrel Length: 3.5"
Caliber: .380 ACP
Bullet Diameter: 0.355"
Bullet Weight: 90 grains
Make: Federal JHP Hydra-Shok
Velocity: 1030 FPS
Recovered Bullet Diameter: 0.572"
Recovered Bullet Weight: 89.8 grains
Distance From Muzzle: 20'
Penetration: 13
Firearm: Kimber CPD
Barrel Length: 3.0"
Caliber: .45 ACP
Bullet Diameter: 0.451"
Bullet Weight: 165 grains
Make: Federal JHP Hydra-Shok
Velocity: 934 FPS
Recovered Bullet Diameter: 0.717"
Recovered Bullet Weight: 160.0 grains
Distance From Muzzle: 20'
Penetration: 14
As you can see the 9mm has a better TKO than a .45 which Im sure Ill hear about from you .45 hard heads. The .380 is not much under the .45 basically because of velocity. I understand the the barrel length will affect velocity and that shot placement is key. Ive tried to take (placement) that factor out.
Okay ya all. Chop away. Im a man. I can take it. Just dont hurt my feelings because Im a sensitive 21st century man. :smt089
Take a breath Shipwreck. It'll be okay. We're all adults here and we've been very good about keeping things civil here. That is why I'm here.

Color: Yellow

Photographed by: Russ Hennings
"When we heard the concept, the first thing we thought about were flashes in Tahiti," said Oakley's Ronnie Nelson. "When we got yellow, we knew we had the right color for what we wanted to do." Like most collaborative efforts, the hardest part of creating their final product was deciding on one concept to execute. "We threw so many ideas around, but the clincher was having Russ Hennings and his mega-flashes; with those, we are able to balance the strong backlit sunset with front lit studio type lighting. This creates a natural yellow tint to the photos. Every image is so different; as the sun sets, the colors change dramatically." Other than utilizing the sun's yellow rays to bolster their color, Oakley employed a bevy of hot models, rented sets, and hired actors to create a mini-movie that is as funny as it is well shot. "We shot surfing, beer, girls, and mansion parties," laughs Nelson. "Who wouldn't sign up for a trip like that?"
