I wouldn't really call this "gored", but it is somewhat dramatic. The best part is the parents running away and leaving the kid to fend for herself...

On the evening of July 13th a resident in the 6300 block of Belfast Road returned home to find four thieves stealing from her detached garage. She confronted them and was assaulted, knocked unconscious, and her cell phone was stolen. The suspects, all unknown to her, fled in a pickup truck. She was able to go to a neighbor’s home who dialed 911. Goshen Police and EMS responded and she was taken to the hospital for treatment of her injuries.

Investigators processed the crime scene. Among the evidence they collected included an unlabeled cup that still had ice inside it. One of the investigators recognized the style of ice specific to a particular gas station. He went to that gas station, reviewed surveillance video, and found video of the four suspects and their truck.

Detectives worked tirelessly over the next several days tracking down and arresting the four.

Aaron P. Lawson, 39yo of Goshen, was indicted for Breaking & Entering, Robbery, and Disrupting Public Services.

Joseph N. Snider, 37yo of Milford, was indicted for Breaking & Entering, Complicity to Robbery, and Complicity to Disrupting Public Services.

Jeffrey A. Combs, 49yo of Goshen, was indicted for Breaking & Entering, Complicity to Robbery, and Complicity to Disrupting Public Services.

Erin Pappas, 38yo of Goshen, was indicted for Complicity to Breaking & Entering, Complicity to Robbery, and Complicity to Disrupting Public Services.

(Assault is an element of a robbery charge, with much more severe consequences.)

This investigation was a department wide effort with all officers and detectives contributing in one way or another. The primary investigators credited with solving this case are Officer McAllister, Captain Hampton, and Detective Maynard. A great job by all, developing leads, tracking down the suspects, and securing evidence!

took my daughter out to lunch today, she ordered an impossible burger.

She didn't finish it , and since the damn thing cost $16, I ate what was left of it

It doesn't taste like a beef burger, but that said, its not bad at all, matter of fact it was really good.

Other than cost, I'd have no problem substituting them for burgers.

Listening to NPR several months back talking about them, they aren't that much of a healthier alternative so there really is no compelling reason to eat them unless you truly are vegan and you want a comparable meat experience - which admittedly I don't understand but that's an option

However if there was a way to mass produce this stuff at a cost point that makes sense, it would be pretty seamless to convert over to it.

Whats the difference/benefit? Its just taking plants and converting it through chemical processes into "meat" right? This is the same thing that a cow does.

during the NPR segment I was listening to a few weeks back they asked pretty much the same question.

The difference is primarily if you believe cattle, on a large scale , for the purposes of driving the burger industry, have a negative impact on the earth, and if replacing them with a plant based substitute - with all the infrastructure and investment necessary provides a net gain.

The least meaningful argument of this is providing a vegan alternative to a meat patty.

One thing for certain though, I'd like to buy impossible burger stock - I don't think they have had an IPO though. They can't sell it retail because they can't make enough of it to meet the commercial demand.

I run this training program for new hires and we are in our 10th week or so

2 weeks ago a big wig VP who reports directly to the CEO for whatever reason decided he wants to talk to our group. I suspect it was a recruiting pitch to join his team but whatever, I'll take the exposure. Turns out the guy likes us so much he decides to have a get together on his dime ...well, his expense report anyways, at the local brewery , which was last night.

So we all go, I show up - normally at these things, I'm the guy paying the bill so I have to stick around to the bitter end, but since I'm not the host, I show up, say nice things for 30 minutes and leave. I'm happy to spend some quality time at home.

This morning the guys are telling me this V.P. gets fucking hammered, starts talking all this shit about how he gets these prostitutes on the company dime when he goes to the reward program they have for Sales people and a bunch of other stuff is implied - at one point he promises to take all of them to Rio and to our major conference in Las Vegas this November - which no one at their level gets to go to. It got so bad that his right hand man had to intervene, pull him away from the group and take him home.

I bet he is a big bag of regret this morning.We'll probably never see the guy again.

this is the second time I've had an opportunity to hang out with a Senior V.P.

The first time, the meeting was just us peon managers and my boss who is a zone V.P. , and this guy starts ordering $300 bottles of wine on my bosses expense account - he ordered 3 of them before the night was over and was bragging to us that he schedules trips around the world to our offices based on restaurants he wants to go to.

Here we are these line managers who have to tell our employees why we can't give them more than a 3.5% raise this year and this guy is talking this shit to us.

oddly enough, prostitutes were involved with that night as well. For whatever reason, this place we went to had high end escorts just hanging out in the bar area. They even had business cards. The card was just their name and a phone number. Nothing else.

Maybe we just really like prostitutes in our company. You can't have a night out without seeing some married exec with one when we go to Vegas. They are just blatant about it.

"For whatever reason, this place we went to had high end escorts just hanging out in the bar area. "

For whatever reason? I think your boss already explained that: "bragging to us that he schedules trips around the world to our offices based on restaurants he wants to go to."
