Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Alright everyone, here's the story... It was my twentieth birthday (or Christmas, I don't remember) and my mom wanted to get me a present. For the first time in my life she said that we could just go out to the mall and I could pick something I wanted instead of her buying me something random that I'd never use. Best news ever.
I'm a film student and as a result do a lot of video editing. I already had all the required equipment except for one thing; a decent pair of monitors to mix the sounds with. My sound teacher recommended that everyone buy a good pair of headphones and that's exactly what I did. We walked into The Sony Store after getting some terrible advice from a young man at Best Buy (don't ever listen to a word anyone there says) and started to browse the headphones. After being heavily pressured by a salesman at The Sony Store (as usual) to purchase some DJ headphones, I settled on the MDR-V600's.
The first thing that went through my head was "Holy fu*k! I just spent $172 on headphones! That money could be much better spent elsewhere." I'm sure most of you can understand why I would think that; being an unemployed college student, funds are tight.
But long intro/background story aside, these are some pretty sweet headphones. The folding design makes them slightly more compact and allows them to snugly fit inside the protective case that comes with them. The case itself isn't heavy duty by any means and really is just something to protect the headphones from getting scratched and to keep the cord from getting in the way. A draw string closes it. 'Nuff said.
The headphones are very comfortable and are contoured to the shape of your ears. Putting the left cup over the right ear and vice versa will result in a less comfortable experience, so follow the simple instructions. The padding is perfect and the material used is very soft. The headband is also soft and padded. The headband can fit just about anyone's head (if they're over the age of 12). It can get ridiculously big; so big that I don't know who could possibly have a head big enough to require the largest sizing. I think I have a slightly bigger than average head and I use the second setting (there are eleven).
Now I know you want me to start talking about how they sound, but be patient. There is one more topic to cover. The gold plated adapter that comes with the head phones (to convert the plug from 1/8" to 1/4") screws on instead of just snapping into place; keeping the adapter firmly in position. Some people say this is a bad idea because if the adapter is lost you have to buy a new one from Sony in order to use the headphones in 1/4" jacks. This is not so. I've used other adapters that just clip on with these headphones and they've worked fine.
The most important thing about these headphones (and all speakers) is the sound. The Sony's do not disappoint. I started using them to listen to my cd's and mp3's with instead of my stereo just for the sake of giving them some use and I was blown away. I was hearing smaller intricate parts in songs that I never knew were there before. I was finally able to enjoy whole songs and not just the parts that previous headphones and speakers had allowed me to hear. I was enjoying songs that I had heard a hundred times like it was the first time.
The response is nice and flat and no frequencies fight to overpower each other. The bass is smooth and punchy while the highs are crisp and crystal clear. The MDR-V600's give my music something that no other speakers ever had; atmosphere. They truly make me feel like I'm surrounded by the sound.
While the price is steep for someone in my position, I know that in the long run these headphones will be worth the money. I don't look at them as just another purchase, I look at them as an investment.

Joseph W. McQuaid: City should honor all fallen officers
Manchester aldermen who voted Tuesday night to honor one fallen police officer by naming the new station for him do a dishonor to another fallen police officer. They can do better.
One way, as Alderman Joe Kelley Levasseur suggested, would be to name the new station for Michael Briggs and Ralph Miller. A better way would be to come up with a suitable memorial within the new building that would honor all police officers who lose their lives in public service.
The current Ralph Miller Public Safety Center is not named for some ancient memory. Officer Miller was shot down in 1976. His murderer is still very much alive and still in prison. The Miller family, including his widow, children, and parents, still live here.
Police Chief David Mara said the Briggs family, which lost their loved one in 2006, should get to see the same honor bestowed on him as was bestowed on Miller.
That is a fine sentiment. But what happens, God forbid, if in 20 years another officer is killed?
Will the Briggs family be shunted aside? Will they feel then as the Miller family and friends must feel now?
We understand that emotions are still raw for those who served with Officer Briggs. His killer faces the death penalty. Appeals may linger for years. But emotions are also still very much alive for those connected with Officer Miller. And what of the sacrifice of Officers McAllister and Moher, who died in an earlier era?
This need not be an either/or choice.
The aldermen would do themselves and the city proud by taking a new vote to suitably honor all officers who have given their lives to serve and protect their city.

Sarah is a remarkably talented physical therapist. I've been working with her on a number of problems from elbow and neck pain to lower back issues. She not only diagnoses the root cause of the pain but also connects it to my behavior patterns and suggests ways to avoid problems in the future.
She reads me extremely well and can tell how I'm feeling the minute I walk in the door.
I have worked with a number of PT's in the past and none of them can hold a candle to Sarah..Any time I'm inclined to skip my home exercises, I think of her and do them because I don't want to let her down. And, inevitably I feel better physically if I stick to her program.
Sarah is also a great person who really cares about her patients.

Union PT is simply amazing. All of their workers at courteous. Working with Elisa was great! I went in with neck and back pain and I could not move. With a doctors notes I went in to Union after comparing other PT places and this place is phenomenal. Here they take the time to get to the root of the problem. I love their online appointment system too. It makes for easy scheduling. Elisa has worked magic and now I am completely free from pain. With her knowledge of how the body works, there is no other place I will go-in case I ever need a Physical therapist again.

I highly recommend this place! I've been working with Mitch Owens for the past few months now & my symptoms have improved, greatly. I was in a car accident a little over a year ago and had terrible headaches, neck & back pain pretty much everyday. Although the severity of my pain went down a bit with massage & chiropractic, I still had headaches everyday, until I started seeing Mitch. He is very good at listening to your concerns, giving you knowledge about why your body might be feeling that way & addressing those concerns that day. He has a very gentle & attentive technique that is very effective! Not to mention he is a riot, which all makes for a pleasant yet helpful experience!

Therapist Sarah Haran treated me for a labral tear in my hip last year when I decided to try PT as an alternative to the major surgery my doctor recommended. This was one of the best decision's I've ever made regarding my health and well-being.
I walked in to her office in pain that woke me up at night and prevented me from doing the active hobbies that keep me sane. Then I spent 13 weeks working with Sarah on re-patterning my lower body movements and refining my jogging stride, plus deep tissue work at the injury site. Six months later I'm back to full-tilt on running, yoga, dancing, snowboarding, and martial arts. My leg musculature is more balanced and I have new awareness of how to stay inside a healthy range of motion in my hip socket. I haven't had hip pain since we finished treatment.
Beyond her life-changing results, Sarah is a super smart, supportive therapist with a great bedside manner. She treated me as an intellectual peer and a partner in my rehab. She was patient with my "why" questions and always made sure I had clear instructions to take home after each appointment.
I highly recommend Sarah Haran to anyone dealing with a stubborn or mysterious injury, and anyone who wants to learn to walk, run, or compete in sports with better bio mechanics.

This is the best physical therapy office I have ever been to. Having been involved in sports my entire life, that is saying a lot.I got referred to Elisa from a spine specialist after a car accident and the resulting back injury that I couldn't get relief from . Elisa did her own thorough evaluation and didn't just rely on the doctor's notes. Elisa established a personalized plan for me and for my goal of getting back into running ASAP.
Elisa is amazing. She takes the time to listen to you and explain to you what she is finding and what her specific goals are for the session. She is very hands-on and works to manipulate and target the specific problem areas of your body. Her exercises are so effective, I don't feel like I am wasting my time doing tons of reps and not feeling any changes.
She prescribes a home exercise routine that is completely manageable. Keeping up with work and with life is hard enough as it is, but her routines fit in just fine. The exercises are all hand picked by Elisa based on what you are targeting in PT. My exercises change every week and I love it. I have never progressed so quickly with another physical therapist.
I also love that when you schedule a one-hour appointment, you get an hour with the physical therapist. Too many times I have been one of 6 or 7 patients in a large workout room while the physical therapist comes by once every 10 minutes to check on the progress I'm making with my exercises. Not here.
I am so close to running again, I can taste it. My day to day life has improved by leaps and bounds since I started at Union Physical Therapy.
I would not be enjoying my current active lifestyle and my current quality of life if it weren't for Elisa and her incredible care. I rave about her all the time and would absolutely recommend her and the rest of the staff at Union PT to anyone.

I have been in pain for over two years from a car accident. I have tension on my neck and mid back that never went away, even after two years of massage, chiropractic, and acupuncture treatment. I was at a point where I have completely given up on all treatments and think that I would probably have to live with these pain for the rest of my life. Then I consulted with my doctor and he referred me to Mitch Owen. What was funny was, another person I know referred me to Mitch awhile back but I never went. I figured Mitch must be the best PT in Seattle so why not give it a try. After meeting Mitch for the first time, I knew I am in good hands. He is very passionate and very knowledgable about his profession. He takes the time to listen to my problems and provide me with effective treatments that triggers my pain areas. I have seen major improvements weeks after weeks. (I wish I would've seen him earlier). It has been three months of consistent treatment and the pain on my neck has decreased, the pain on my mid back went away. I can't thank him enough. I am so happy to be able to do the activities I once used to, without feeling pain, for a long period of time. I think anyone who is looking for the best PT should go visit Mitch and you will understand how good it feels to no longer have to live with pain.

**SillyErin's Stillman Bootcamp for 2012**
So I'm coming back to the boards for the Stillman butt-kick I need - and a little accountability. It's time to drag out my Stillmans hardcore plan and finally get back on track.
I know Stillmans back and forth, and all the tricks of the trade - and was able to go from 200+ pounds to a size 2! (This included running)
My fat clothes have began to get snug (and my tiny clothes are starting to collect dust)
So I wanted to see if anyone wanted to join me? :dunno:
I don't really have a timeline - or any big event I'm planning for...
I'm just gonna go head-on, full speed, 100% lean protein for as long as I can starting at EXACTLY this moment. I'll add some IF to the mix, maybe some "free meals", throw in 3 days a week of running - TONS of water...sounds like a recipe for success!
I'll be posting my progress....
I am in the exact same predicament, my Fat clothes are fitting a little too well and my skinny jeans are cold and lonely at the bottom of the drawer!
I will join you except I don't run I will try and do some form of Cardio though even if its just walking the dogs.
How long did it take you to go from 200lbs to a size 2!?
Hey Mar!
Its hard to say how long it took me to take the weight off -
I'd do Stillmans for 4 months (not straight - I'd have a cheat meal every 5 days or so) and take off 20 pounds. Then I'd stay there a little while, bounce around, go back to Stillmans and get to an all-time low weight.
That probably made it easier to maintain, no?
I kinda did the same thing except It wasn't on purpose I just fell of the wagon repeatedly haha

For Women Only.
At Bellator our focus will be truth– something that doesn't waiver with our emotions– love– something we miss use and abuse– and hope– something many of us have lost true sighting of.
Thursdays @ 6:30pm orange room
Underground meets every Thursday night at 7:35pm.
There is one God. He is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He eternally exists in three personalities: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and one. He is perfect in His many attributes of holiness, love, power, knowledge, justice and mercy.
Human beings are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. As the supreme object of God's creation, we were designed for dignity. However, Adam's sin catapulted the creation into a fallen state and plunged all his descendants into depravity. Thus, all of us are marred by rebellion and disobedience, which is called "sin," toward God. Sin separates people from God and causes many problems in life.
Jesus Christ is God's Son. He is co-equal with the Father. He is both God and man. He was born of a virgin. He lived a sinless, human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of His people by dying on a cross. He died to become a substitutionary atonement for the sins of His people. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return again someday to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is the divine helper, assistant, counselor and instructor. He is present in the world to make man aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth and guidance in doing what is right. He gives every believer a spiritual gift when they are saved. As Christians, we seek to live under His control daily.
The Bible is God's Word to us. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. The Bible is inspired by God and is the truth without any mixture of error. It is the sole authority for life.
Salvation is God's free gift to us. We receive this gift through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ alone. Repentance means turning away from our sin and turning toward Christ. Faith means trusting in Christ alone for the remission of our sins. When we place our faith in Jesus Christ, His perfect obedience is credited to us so that God sees us as the righteousness of Christ. Every person who truly is saved is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ and will spend eternity in heaven, while those who die in their sins will spend eternity in Hell.
Oh, hi there! Join us each week as we study Gods word together – right here! We'll provide the scripture, you provide the eyeballs.
4 Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, "I have gotten a man with the help of the Lord." 2 And again, she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a worker of the ground. 3 In the course of time Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground, 4 and Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering, 5 but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his face fell. 6 The Lord said to Cain, "Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it."
8 Cain spoke to Abel his brother. And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him. 9 Then the Lord said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said, "I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?" 10 And the Lord said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground. 11 And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. 12 When you work the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth." 13 Cain said to the Lord, "My punishment is greater than I can bear. 14 Behold, you have driven me today away from the ground, and from your face I shall be hidden. I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me." 15 Then the Lord said to him, "Not so! If anyone kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold." And the Lord put a mark on Cain, lest any who found him should attack him. 16 Then Cain went away from the presence of the Lord and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. 3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. 4 And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.
6 Then the Lord said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it."
8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let's go out to the field." While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.
9 Then the Lord said to Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?"
"I don't know," he replied. "Am I my brother's keeper?"
10 The Lord said, "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground. 11 Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. 12 When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth."
13 Cain said to the Lord, "My punishment is more than I can bear. 14 Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me."
15 But the Lord said to him, "Not so; anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over." Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. 16 So Cain went out from the Lord's presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
2 Then she had another baby, Abel. Abel was a herdsman and Cain a farmer.
3-5 Time passed. Cain brought an offering to God from the produce of his farm. Abel also brought an offering, but from the firstborn animals of his herd, choice cuts of meat. God liked Abel and his offering, but Cain and his offering didn't get his approval. Cain lost his temper and went into a sulk.
6-7 God spoke to Cain: "Why this tantrum? Why the sulking? If you do well, won't you be accepted? And if you don't do well, sin is lying in wait for you, ready to pounce; it's out to get you, you've got to master it."
8 Cain had words with his brother. They were out in the field; Cain came at Abel his brother and killed him.
9 God said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?"
He said, "How should I know? Am I his babysitter?"
10-12 God said, "What have you done! The voice of your brother's blood is calling to me from the ground. From now on you'll get nothing but curses from this ground; you'll be driven from this ground that has opened its arms to receive the blood of your murdered brother. You'll farm this ground, but it will no longer give you its best. You'll be a homeless wanderer on Earth."
13-14 Cain said to God, "My punishment is too much. I can't take it! You've thrown me off the land and I can never again face you. I'm a homeless wanderer on Earth and whoever finds me will kill me."
15 God told him, "No. Anyone who kills Cain will pay for it seven times over." God put a mark on Cain to protect him so that no one who met him would kill him.
16 Cain left the presence of God and lived in No-Man's-Land, east of Eden.

Chad Herold is a multi-talented phenom. He's a gifted tennis player, a fashionable gentleman, and a generous tipper of bio writers. He's also a gifted speaker and leader, who's constantly eager to share the gospel and disciple men and women of all ages.
Sarah Herold is an incredible writer (in an ironic plot twist, this bio wasn't written by her), and an adept teacher. She's also a huge fan of Chick-Fil-A, Starbucks, and neon colored shoes. In case you didn't notice, Sarah and Chad are married and have been serving together in ministry for years.
Reagan is an INCREDIBLE story here at Underground. Just a few months back Reagan was playing lead huitar with no experience leading a band or worship service, then BOOM through a series of unexpected events Reagan on 24 hour notice was asked to step in and lead the Underground Band the next evening… he's been here rocking it ever since.
After a year of pursuing College Basketball, Bekah decided it was time to come back where she belongs. Serving in the Underground Ministry for over a year, Bekah has now taken center stage (literally) as part of the Underground Band. Bekah enjoys singing, being schooled by Chad in B-ball and other various unrelated activities.

Posts tagged: Apple retail store
The new North Division Huppin's store formally opens tomorrow, Oct. 20, at 10 a.m.
The newly remodeled location, at 8016 N. Division, will feature plenty of HDTVs, cameras, audio gear, camcorders, headphones and home theater systems.
It will also start selling Apple products. Huppin's President Murray Huppin worked for most of the past year to sign a reseller deal that allows his company to sell just about everything Apple makes except iPads and iPhones.
Apple opened its own retail store in downtown Spokane in September. Huppin said that had no effect on his effort to become an Apple reseller. Apple already has two area retail resellers – Best Buy, and Strong Solutions — both of which sell a full line of Apple computers, iPhones and iPads.
Huppin's two stores will both sell Apple products. However its nationwide online service, OneCall, will not, Huppin said.
The deal came about as Huppin's wanted to bring to its customers the smart and nifty devices that have made Apple the most valuable tech company in the world. Huppin said he believes Apple forged the deal in part because Huppin's customers see the Spokane home-grown company as an innovator and clear leader in consumer electronics retailing.
Roughly 450 to 550 people were waiting to get into the new Spokane Apple retail store Saturday, as doors opened at 10 a.m.
Here are a few photos and one embedded video to show what the store looks like.
Disclaimer: The Cowles Co. runs River Park Square, which is the landlord for this store. Knowing full well people may accuse us of overdoing coverage of this event, we'll stand accused. Since our job is to acknowledge and evaluate events or circumstances worth community attention, we decided one more post on the opening was warranted.
We'll be offering a $10 coffee card to whoever can come CLOSEST to the correct date for the opening of the downtown Spokane Apple retail store.
This photo shows the front and part of the interior, shot on or about Sept. 13, on Main in downtown Spokane. Officially, Apple Inc. has failed to acknowledge it's building or opening this store.
So, some contest rules. One entry per person; family of employees of The Cowles Co. and all its subsidiaries are ineligible. And of course, employees or contractors doing work for Apple are also not eligible to win.
To win, correctly name the date the store will open. As a tiebreaker, also add the hour the store will open for its first customers. For multiple winners, Office Hours will randomly select the sole winner in a drawing.

Animal models have also successfully linked risk genes with disturbances in particular molecular pathways that may predispose to the development of more complex, polygenic disorders, such as depression (Cryan and Holmes, 2005; Urani, Chourbaji, and Gass, 2005), anxiety disorders (Cryan and Holmes, 2005), obsessive compulsive disorder (Joel, 2006), autism (Moy and Nadler, 2008), schizophrenia (O'Tuathaigh, Babovic, et al., 2007), and substance abuse (Kalivas, Peters, and Knackstedt, 2006).
Despite the challenge of studying the role of genes in the etiology of MEB disorders, advances in technology continue to make large-scale genotyping more feasible and affordable, and the combination of human genetics studies and approaches using animal models has proven to be informative in identifying genes of risk in multifactorial, complex non-psychiatric disorders, such as asthma (Moffatt, 2008) and diabetes (Florez, 2008); they will undoubtedly make important contributions in psychiatric genetics in coming years.
Most complex behaviors and the most common forms of MEB disorders are likely to arise from a combination of multiple interacting genetic and environmental influences (Caspi and Moffitt, 2006; Rutter, Moffitt, and Caspi, 2006). The effect of a common genetic variant in altering the risk for a disorder, for example, is likely to be conditioned heavily by the experiences of a developing child, just as the effects of experience in producing a disorder are likely to be conditioned by the genetic background that the child inherits from his or her parents (Rutter, Moffitt, and Caspi, 2006; Thapar, Harold, et al., 2007). These so-called gene–environment (GxE) interactions can confer both risk and protective effects on the child relative to the effects of either the genetic or environmental influences in isolation.
A number of interactions between specific identified genes and specific environmental risk factors have been demonstrated in MEB disorders (Rutter, Moffitt, and Caspi, 2006). For example, a landmark prospective epidemiological study found that the number of copies an individual carries of the short variant of a region of the serotonin transporter gene (5-HTTLPR) significantly increases, in a dose-dependent fashion, the risk for developing depressive symptoms, major depressive disorder, and suicidality—but only in the context of adverse or stressful early life experiences (Caspi, Sugden, et al., 2003) (see Figure 5-1). Similarly, a polymorphism in the gene that encodes monoamine oxidase A (MAOA), an enzyme that metabolizes neurotransmitters, moderates the effect of maltreatment on developing antisocial

I am new to CC, and have recently applied for my CHP in Virginia. Anyone have advice for a good holster for Glock 17? Not sure if this has already been discussed, but was anable to find it in here.
Any of the custom leather makers on this forum would be able to help you. Or check out a Crossbreed Supertuck Deluxe.
The Supertuck from Crossbreed will work with a Glock 17, Glock 19, Glock 22, Glock 23 if you order one for your G17. Since it's an open muzzle holster with leather to keep the gun from rubbing your skin, the barrel sticks out with a G17/G22 and with the smaller models would not stick out as much. Since they all retain the same basic frame shape it would fit any of them.
For leather holsters there are too many fine manufacturers. Pure Kustom Holsters, UBG Holsters, Milt Sparks, TT Gunleather, HBE Leatherworks, FIST just to name a few.
For Kydex holsters you have a bunch of other options from Raven Concealment, FIST, DeSantis, Comp-Tac and others.
Unfortunately I nor anyone else can tell you this one or that one is best. There are too many fine products that will all work for your needs. I'd recommend a Crossbreed Holster if you want a hybrid holster(leather against skin and kydex sheet around the gun). Pure Kustom, UBG, Little Bear, or HBE Holsters if you want all leather and for pure kydex I like Raven Concealment. In leather there's many models you can choose from. All with different options for you. Your best bet is to call one of them and talk to them on the phone. Explain what you're trying to accomplish and what firearm you're concealing. They will discuss your options and recommend a product better than I can.

I carry a Glock 23 in a High Noon IWB Public Secret holster with a dedicated gun belt that keeps the weapon close to the body. I like the appendix carry because it conceals well and can be defended well if need be because it is in the front of the body. I wear the 5-11 Covert Casual shirt in the warm Florida weather which looks great and is a dedicated concealed carry garment.

IMO.....you've opened a can of worms. To start out with, I can't recommend anything actually. Everything I would recommend comes from my own personal experience and comfort level. I'm always accessible through the site if you have further questions.
Heck, I'd just buy one of my holsters and call it a day. In all seriousness, there's a large selection of quality gun leather built by guys on and outside this forum. Like most serious pistol people, you will probably end up with several fine and not so fine holsters until you find the those that best suit your needs.Welcome to the forum!
Welcome. Many of the good holsters have been mentioned already. My experience with comfort, retention, ease of draw and just a beautiful piece of leather would be Pure Kustom's Black Ops. It is an OWB/IWB combo holster.
I have also used MTAC and Milt Sparks VM II. All are comfortable. The MTAC can be had rather quickly. You're gonna wait a little for Pure Kustom. You're gonna wait a long time for Sparks (6 mos). Unless you can find one on ebay, but you'll pay top dollar.

It is better to have your gun and not need it, than to need it and not have it!

I went with the Crossbreed SuperTuck for a Glock 22. I have only had the holster for about 8 hours now, but so far I am VERY happy with it! It's very adjustable, comfortable. I ordered mine without the "combat cut" however I think I will get the material cut in the near future.
Don't do things you don't want to explain to the Paramedics!
Stupidity should be painful.
I carry a summer comfort IWB holster for my glock 26 (which is the same size as the 27). Love it!
Raven concealment
I carry a G23 in a Comp-Tac Spartan with a Wilderness Instructor belt. Won't break the bank, you'll get it in a week or so, it's tuckable, and it's adjustable so you can figure out what works for you in terms of where on your belt you want to carry and at what cant. It distributes the weight well and doesn't slide around on your belt.
All Leather = Pure Kustom
Kydex = Blade Tech or Raven Concealment
Hybrid (half leather/half kydex) = Cross Breed or Comp-Tac

Preliminary figures suggest the weekend's Melbourne Grand Prix had the smallest crowd in the event's history.
The estimated crowd figures from the weekend's grand prix were the lowest since Melbourne poached the race in the 1990s.Fewer than 287,000 people are estimated by race organisers to have attended Albert Park over the four days of the event.And Sunday's race-day crowd of 105,000 was the second lowest since Melbourne's first modern era grand prix in 1996.Only 1998's race, which had an attendance of 103,000, attracted fewer patrons.There is no breakdown of the number of tickets sold by type, or the number of people attending on free tickets, or tickets as payment-in-kind.Previously, the smallest four-day crowd was at the 1997 race, which attracted 289,000 people.But crowd numbers at that race were crippled by a snap public transport strike that ran from midnight Friday to midnight Sunday.The biggest estimated crowd at the Australian Grand Prix was for the inaugural race in 1996, when 401,000 people attended, nearly 40 per cent higher than this year's figure.Attendance numbers have long been a contentious issue for the grand prix, with critics claiming the number is artificially inflated. Last year, The Age revealed that tickets that were given away were counted in attendance figures, whether they were used or not. Also counted in the crowd figure are people working at the event, even the drivers.Tourism and Major Events Minister Tim Holding defended this year's attendance figures, saying people were cautious about spending in difficult economic times."Yesterday (Sunday), we had 105,000 people at this event; that's a bigger crowd than you'll get to a grand final," he said.But Mr Holding was unable to say what Albert Park's capacity was for Sunday's race. "It depends on how the Grand Prix Corporation configures the track," he said. "They could have sold more tickets than they sold yesterday."Mr Holding said the race remained a blockbuster event for the state, which created jobs and had clear economic benefit."There is no other city in the world that could sustain having the opening to the footy season with record attendances and an event like formula one," he said.He also backed the twilight race time, introduced this year, in the face of criticism from some drivers about the glare from the sun."Melbourne looked an absolute treat ... the images of Melbourne that were broadcast around the world," he said.Race winner Jenson Button said the glare and changing light from trees made for difficult driving conditions, particularly while exiting corners.

Jason Kidd and Mike Tomlin are naughty boys who deserve to be punished.
On the night before Thanksgiving, Kidd, the head coach of the Brooklyn Nets, directed one of his players to bump into him so that his soda would splash onto the court. The Nets were down a basket in the final seconds of a game against the Los Angeles Lakers. They were out of timeouts; the little spill bought Kidd's assistants some much-needed time to set up a final play. The Nets still lost.
On Thanksgiving night, Tomlin, the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, almost certainly prevented a touchdown by standing on the edge of the field during a kickoff return, forcing the Baltimore Ravens's Jacoby Jones to veer around him -- slowing Jones down just enough to ensure that he'd be tackled from behind. The Ravens wound up with just a field goal, but they beat Tomlin's Steelers anyway.
Both coaches issued unconvincing denials after their respective games. Kidd claimed that the cup had slipped out of his hands. "Sweaty palms. I was never good with the ball." (Clever!) Tomlin said he hadn't realized how close he was to the field.
It's hard to muster much moral outrage toward either Kidd or Tomlin. But cheating can't be condoned, and what's interesting is how differently the two leagues seem to be reacting.
The NBA fined Kidd $50,000, which isn't nothing, especially considering that "spilling" some liquid on the court is a time-honored stall tactic in basketball. But Kidd made more than $3 million playing for the Knicks last season. He will make $10.5 million coaching the Nets over the next four seasons. Even if he gets fired -- for all of the team's off-season acquisitions, the Nets are off to a terrible start -- he is guaranteed $7.5 million. In other words, the NBA's response was basically: That was funny, Kidd, but don't do it again.
The NFL, for its part, is in the midst of "an aggressive review" of Tomlin's actions. There will surely be a fine, but the Steelers might also lose a draft pick, which would be a serious blow to the team.
Why such potentially disproportionate reactions to such seemingly similar acts of mischief? One explanation is basic economics: Football is much lower scoring than basketball, which makes the value of a point, however it's realized, a lot greater. Also, the NFL has far fewer games, so each one is that much more important.
Here's another reason to consider: What if what we're really talking about here is the nature of the two sports, and the attendant styles of their respective commissioners? Basketball, like baseball, has the luxury of cute stunts. Football is dangerous enough -- far too dangerous -- when it's played strictly by the rules. David Stern has the freedom to be impish, to give a little wink every now and then. Roger Goodell does not. He is relentlessly controlling and over-the-top -- Goodellian -- because his sport isn't exactly a form of entertainment. Football may be fun to watch, but as Tony Dorsett will tell you, it's not a game.

The Vampire Diaries Season 5: Grade It!by Matt Richenthal at . Updated at . Comments
The Vampire Diaries is taking a break. And, some might say, it's a well-needed break.
The first part of The Vampire Diaries Season 5 focused a great deal on breaking Bonnie free from The Other Side, while the past few episodes delved into Damon's demons and Katherine's aging process.
Which storylines jumped out, in either a positive or negative fashion? Who has been the most entertaining character? The last entertaining?
At the approximate midway point of the season, let's fill a new Vampire Diaries report card, shall we? Sound off with your overall take a grade below...
Best Character: Tessa. Also, Craziest Character. Janina Gavankar imbued this ancient witch with humor, heart and, yes, a great deal of nuttiness. She made a terrific exit, played a critical role for a few weeks and then killed herself. A solid, enjoyable arc all around.
Worst Character: Bonnie. Sigh... where to begin? This distinction is partly based on the frustration that no character ever truly dies on The Vampire Diaries, which lowers the stakes a great deal. But far too much time was dedicated to resurrecting Bonnie, only for her to return and scarcely play a role on the subsequent installments. Sort of says a lot about where she stands, doesn't it? The show should have just let Bonnie go.
Best Episode: The Vampire Diaries Season 5 Episode 3, "Original Sin." Stefan was back, but this was our introduction to Qetsiyah, whose praises I just sang above. She was the driving force behind an episode that revealed a whole lot of backstory, yet remained focused on the background of Silas and what he's doing in Mystic Falls.
Worst Episode: The Vampire Diaries Season 5, Episode 11. Perhaps falling victim to the expectations TVD raised over the years, this midseason finale provided the same cliffhanger as an episode from just a few weeks earlier: is Katherine dead? It didn't really introduce any engrossing storylines to follow up on in 2014, either.
Most Undeveloped Storyline: We all thought/hoped Matt would finally be featured in a prominent arc when Gregor inhabited his body... only for the Traveler to be killed via special knife and Matt simply return to serving drinks at The Grill.
Best Advice: Elena to Jesse: "First rule of being a vampire is realizing how awesome you are."
Werewolf We Miss the Most: Tyler. You rocked on The Originals, but just for one episode. There's gotta be something Julie Plec and company can find for Tyler to do, right? In either New Orleans or Mystic Falls?
Hopes for 2014: Kill off Katherine. She's been on the verge of death for far too long. It's time to finally cut bait with Nadia's now-human mother. Also: Put Stefan and Caroline together... put Jeremy back in a wifebeater... give Matt something to do aside from collecting tips... stop making characters take over the bodies of other characters... no more dopplegangers!
Overall Grade: D.
YOUR turn, TV Fanatics. What grade would you give The Vampire Diaries Season 5 so far?
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: The Vampire Diaries, TV Fanatic Report Cards
When will you understand that you're the only human being on this earth that wants Katherine dead??? Everyone loves her. You'll see a lot less people checking recaps if she's killed off, because no one will watch. I agree with the rest of the report card...except the grade. Come on. It's been wayyy better than the previous season. I'd give it a B-.

Teradata Adds Predictive Analytics To Its Campaign Management Portfolio
NEW ORLEANS, April 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Teradata Corporation (NYSE: TDC), the global leader in analytic data platforms, applications and services, today announced plans to deliver embedded Predictive Analytics in upcoming releases of its Campaign Management portfolio, an Integrated Marketing Management solution from Teradata Applications.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120412/CL86658LOGO )
Available later this year, the new Predictive Analytics functions will make it easy for marketers to apply forward-looking models to their data-driven marketing efforts, so they won't have to rely solely on historical data models. With Teradata's new Predictive Analytics capability, marketers will now be able to:
- Employ forward-looking "Flip the Switch" analytics to instantly go from reverse-modeling to forward-prediction of best campaign participants;
- Use model scores as selection criteria for campaigns; and,
- Select/manage which models are being used to score the customers for campaigns.
The new Predictive Analytics functionality will be available by late 2013 for both the on-premise and Cloud versions of all current and prior releases of Teradata's Relationship Manager, and be incorporated in the forthcoming major release of its Campaign Management solution, likewise due in late 2013, the company said.According to the customer reference survey for the Gartner Magic Quadrant for BI platforms in 2012, organizations predominantly use BI technologies that measure the past — such as reporting, ad hoc analysis, and dashboards — with a small percentage of organizations (13%) currently reporting extensive use of predictive analytics. Moreover, Gartner estimates that an even smaller percentage of organizations (under 3%) use prescriptive capabilities such as decision/mathematical modeling, simulation and optimization. This is changing as organizations recognize that delivering next-generation advanced analytics to an expanded set of users will realize significant value in terms of innovation, productivity and growth . (Source: Gartner, Inc., "Predicts 2013: Information Innovation," Published: 14 December 2012 Analyst(s): Douglas Laney, Andreas Bitterer, Rita L. Sallam, Lisa Kart. G00246040 ) "For too long, marketers have had to rely solely on historical modeling to determine the likely best candidates to target in their marketing campaigns," said Gonzalo Hidalgo, general manager, Campaign Management/IMM. "Forward-looking modeling was mainly available in the world of Ph.D's and data scientists, and marketing users were limited in their 'predictive' ability. Now, by adding easy-to-use Predictive Analytics to our Integrated Marketing Management solutions, literally every marketer can become a data scientist, every business a more data-driven enterprise." Proof of Concept Offered at Summit 2013 APEX Experience Customer Event Teradata is showcasing this capability to customers this week at Summit 2013 APEX Experience, the company's 12 th annual marketing applications event being held in New Orleans, and is offering customers and prospects Proof of Concept engagements to gain hands-on understanding and learn more. To experience the value, power and ease-of-use of its new Predictive Analytics capability, customers can choose from three implementations templates to get started, with additional capabilities and datasets brought on-line during the roll-out:
- SEGMENTATION: Real-time score selection in the Segmentation interface that Marketing users utilize to create campaigns and marketing initiatives;
- MODELING: Real-time scoring for Model selection, including execution, scoring and selection of "Pick Best" customers for automatic campaign segmentation; and,
- RESPONSE: Real-time Response Model selection/creation, including dataset population, scoring execution and automatic campaign segment creation.

We report self-consistent Brownian dynamics simulations of a simple electrostatic model of the selectivity filters (SF) of calcium ion channels. They reveal regular structure in the conductance and selectivity as functions of the fixed negative charge Q(f) at the SF. With increasing Q(f), there are distinct regions of high conductance (conduction bands) M0, M1, M2 separated by regions of almost zero-conductance (stop-bands). Two of these conduction bands, M1 and M2, are related to the saturated calcium occupancies of P = 1 and P = 2, respectively and demonstrate self-sustained conductivity. Despite the model's limitations, its M1 and M2 bands show high calcium selectivity and prominent anomalous mole fraction effects and can be identified with the L-type and RyR calcium channels. The non-selective band M0 can be identified with a non-selective cation channel, or with OmpF porin.

According to the latest rumors, Apple is considering launching a 4.7-inch and a 5.7-inch iPhone models as soon as in 2014 also along with a $99 model in a range of different plastic colors. The media outlet mentions that the decision is yet to be taken but at the same time Apple wants to gain back the share from its tough competitor Samsung. We already know that Samsung has a huge contribution in boosting the mobile industry and becoming a leading cellular manufacturer. Basically Apple here wants to contest with Samsung's line of Galaxy Note and their other inexpensive phones by offering similar screen sized phones and their low priced $99 model with plastic body (none of them which Apple currently makes).

First off, can we all agree that Phablet is a terrible name? A Smartphone with a big screen does make a tablet. Second, let's examine what exactly a "Phablet" is. The difference between a large phone and a small tablet is that a small tablet will run (at least in theory) tablet optimized applications, whereas the large phone is stuck with phone apps. The question is how big is too big for a phone?

Influencing Today for a Better Tomorrow
Gene Martineau at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, one of the four CIM colleges.
Thor Becken's family founded Cemstone in 1927.
Bill Holden has helped masonry make inroads in Gulf Coast reconstruction.
Sidney Freedman is a leading authority on architectural precast concrete.
"When the original group of concerned industry participants gathered in Denver in June 1993, the transformation of the ready-mixed concrete industry seemed to be an overwhelming task. Now, a short 15 months later, we believe that the industry can and will be transformed and that RMC 2000 will play a vital role in making it happen." – Eugene P. Martineau, CONCRETE JOURNAL, October 1994.
No more prophetic words have ever been written in THE CONCRETE PRODUCER's predecessor than these published in an article by Gene Martineau 13 years ago.
Martineau, then the national director of Ready Mixed Concrete 2000, was describing how the ready-mixed concrete industry was responding to a call for action.
For more than a decade, Martineau has been one of the ready-mixed concrete industry's greatest cheerleaders, critics, and supporters. All at the same time. His efforts come from a passion for the product, as well as the business, of concrete.
Once, at a national meeting of concrete leaders, Martineau sought financial support for a national campaign called "Get Concrete" that would have been modeled on the "Got Milk?" ads.
Even before he became known as a concrete champion, Martineau was working to elevate the industry as leader of U.S. Concrete, a company he founded in 1998. As president, chief executive officer and a director, he grew the business into one of the largest ready mix suppliers in the country before retiring in May 2007.
During this time, Martineau also proved his dedication to the industry as a five-term director of the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA) and four-time member of the executive committee. He has been a member of the Board of Trustees of the RMC Research Foundation since its inception in 2001.
Naturally, he emerged as a co-founder of RMC 2000, which he later directed from 1994 to 1997. This experience led him to undertake what is perhaps his noblest cause. He has become the champion of the Concrete Industry Management (CIM) program.
This effort stems from his involvement in RMC 2000. Martineau and other corporate leaders recognized that the concrete industry needed well-trained managers. Somewhere along the way, these leaders set a goal to recruit, educate, and employ 500 new graduates each year.
Their work resulted in establishing the CIM program at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU). Martineau serves as chairman of the National Steering Committee that aids the local Patron's group. Spurred by the success at MTSU, three additional Patron groups have helped establish CIM programs at Arizona State University, University of California at Chico, and the New Jersey Institute of Technology.
While the local Patron groups develop regional support, Martineau and the National Steering Committee have undertaken the task of helping enlist national support. The committee is responsible for providing start-up funds, encouraging curriculum and faculty development, and establishing a national recruiting and scholarship effort for all CIM programs. Their initiatives to further elevate the industry are summarized at www.concretedegree.org.
As a result of the steering committee's efforts, Martineau envisions the industry will soon be accepting CIM graduates from all programs, knowing that their education has been consistent and thorough. In the long-term, Martineau has supported the development of a Master's degree in CIM.

1UP examines 10 years of Nintendo 64 history highlighting memorable games for a console that lacked third-party support (and games in general). From the article: "[N64] might just be the most controversial console in the history of mass market gaming ... it began the descent of Nintendo from the throne - with this console, the Big N failed to achieve majority sales for the first time in history, and has been unable to regain its glory since."
The console's descent from the gaming throne was largely in part, if not fully, to a last minute strategy change with a certain electronics manufacturer. Wikipedia reminds us: "While Nintendo chose the cartridge format for the N64, the company originally signed a contract with Sony in 1988 to develop a CD-ROM drive add-on for the SNES. When Hiroshi Yamauchi read the (already signed by Nintendo) original 1988 contract between Sony and Nintendo and learned that it allowed Sony 25% of the profits from the machine and also a part of games' sales profits, he was furious. He deemed the contract totally unacceptable, and secretly canceled all plans for a joint Nintendo-Sony SNES CD attachment."
That CD-ROM drive later became the PlayStation. While not trying to beat a dead horse, what's your take on arguably the most crucial turning point for console gaming given the industry's status quo?

Anthony Francis Clarke Wallace (born 1923) is a Canadian-American anthropologist who specializes in Native American cultures, especially the Iroquois. His research expresses an interest in the intersection of cultural anthropology and psychology. He is famous for the theory of revitalization movements.
He was born in Toronto, Ontario, in 1923, the son of the historian Paul Wallace, and did both undergraduate and graduate work at the University of Pennsylvania, where he was a student of A. Irving Hallowell and Frank Speck. He received his Ph.D. in 1950. He later taught at the University of Pennsylvania, where his students included the anthropologist Raymond D. Fogelson.
He was also for a time the Director of Clinical Research at the Eastern Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute.

Case Study: Proposed Marvin Nichols Reservoir
The proposed massive Marvin Nichols dam and reservoir in Northeast Texas is a prime example of the unnecessary reliance on new reservoirs and pipelines instead of water conservation. This project would result in one of the largest reservoirs in Texas, flooding over 72,000 acres of land adjacent to the Sulphur River in rural Northeast Texas. The majority of the project's water would be piped roughly 170 miles uphill to cities in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
Almost half of the area to be flooded – 30,000 acres – is an increasingly rare type of habitat known as bottomland hardwood forests found only along rivers and streams. Over the past two hundred years, over three-quarters of East Texas' bottomland forests have been destroyed. These wooded wetlands, nurtured by the regular ebb and flow of a free-flowing river, are one of the most biologically diverse ecosystem types in the state. Consequently, the construction of Marvin Nichols would have statewide implications for wildlife habitat, including black bear.
The construction of Marvin Nichols dam and reservoir would also eliminate many local jobs in farming, ranching, logging, and livestock because a significant amount of working land would be flooded by the reservoir. In addition, the reservoir would flood several family cemeteries and historic Native American sites. Because of the economic and environmental impacts, there is strong opposition to the project in the Northeast Texas area. In fact, the Regional Water Plan for Northeast Texas (Region D), which covers the area where the proposed reservoir would be built, recommends against building the dam. In light of the local opposition and clear environmental impacts the project would have, it is important to note that the Dallas-Ft. Worth area (a.k.a. North Texas Regional Water Planning area or Region C) can meet its water needs without building this dam. Many of the cities and water supply entities advocating for this project have some of the highest levels of municipal water use in Texas. Additional conservation over and above the modest levels recommended in the Region C water plan could save much or all of the water that would be provided by the Marvin Nichols dam & reservoir.
URGENT UPDATE: The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) staff are proposing to force Region D to include the Marvin Nichols project in their plan. The Lone Star Chapter of the Sierra Club have submitted comments to TWDB in opposition to this proposal for the following reasons:
(1) The recommendation in part directly contradicts the decisions of the state courts in this matter and, if adopted, will only lead to additional, protracted legal disputes that will complicate efforts to meet long-term water demand projections for Region C.
(2) The proposed Marvin Nichols reservoir will severely and negatively impact the natural and agricultural resources of Region D, which is in contradiction to important goals of the current state and regional water planning process.
(3) The proposed Marvin Nichols reservoir may not rank high on several criteria in the new regional prioritization process, especially as certain factors in flux are likely to impact its ranking in a negative way.
(4) The water demand projections for Region C have decreased considerably since the 2011 regional plan, and recent actions and new opportunities to enhance water conservation call into question any justification for the proposed Marvin Nichols reservoir, at least within the 50-year planning horizon.
(5) There is no urgency that requires the imposition of the proposed Marvin Nichols reservoir in the 2011 Region C plan.
