One Man's opinion - Kangaroo Holster
First let me tell you the problem I am trying to solve. I work in a professional environment - by that I mean that I am usually wearing slacks and a tucked-in shirt. No cover shirt, no un-tucked shirt over your dress shirt. So, I have felt many of the options available we not available to me. I sit down quite a bit, so the "smartcarry" option did not appeal to me much. A shoulder holster or belly band seemed like the real deal, but I needed one that would fit under my dress shirt, and many of the belly bands rode up or down, and felt very confining. So, I tried the Kangaroo holster.
The Kangaroo holster has been mentioned at this forum before. It is kind of like a belly band with a one shoulder strap. The shoulder strap is made of elastic, the band made of cotton. There is one part of the band where elastic and velcro make the connection to the rest of the band. Here is a link where you can see how it fits:
I wear an undershirt, and wear the Kangaroo holster between my undershirt and dress shirt. It is confortable enough to wear all day, and has been my preferred method of carry ever since I got it. The cost is right, at less than $25. It is not constricting like a belly band, and you can use the velcro to adjust the shoulder strap as well as the band. It comes in different sizes to fit different size people, and comes in different sized "pouches" to fit different size guns.
I got the large size band, and small size gun pouch. I am 5'8 and about 210, so I'm fireplug built, with about a 44 inch chest. I have carried a S&W 642 revolver, a Makarov, and a Glock 19. All fit the gun pouch fine, and none has ever fallen out. In fact, I have never even felt the gun slip, in spite of the lack of a thumb break. The Glock19 feels a little large under your arm, but it is manageable. The Makarov fits like a dream, so those of you with this size firearm will really like the feel. The revolver, to, fit very well.
I give this a 4 star rating. I have found no problems with it, but could not give it a 5 star simply because I have not had it long enough to be able to comment on the durability of the holster. However, it is washable, and if it last 6 months, I would be happy. For $25, I can afford to buy another. Thanks for your time!

The speed with which new Bills Head Coach Doug Marrone has assembled his coaching staff has been impressive. For fans of the Bills, impressive isn't strong enough. Try visionary.
Via ESPN:
The Buffalo Bills have hired former New York Jets defensive coordinator Mike Pettine to be their defensive coordinator, a source told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen. Pettine, whose contract had expired with the Jets, agreed to a three-year deal with Buffalo to work on new coach Doug Marrone's staff.
Poaching a coveted mind from a division rival is something the Bills rarely do. Acting with an actual plan in the early moments of the off-season is something the Bills never do. After working with Rex Ryan in Baltimore, Pettine followed Rolls Royce to New York.
Like so many coordinators before him, Pettine enjoyed the New York Times 'how good is he?' treatment two years ago.
"I'm not in it for the credit," Pettine said in an interview in the team's cafeteria. "I only want a ring. If it's one of those things where it's going to be identified as Rex's defense, that's fine. "I'm not in it for the credit," Pettine said in an interview in the team's cafeteria. "I only want a ring. If it's one of those things where it's going to be identified as Rex's defense, that's fine."
He'll get the chance to craft a new image in Buffalo. Hours earlier Marrone went back to Syracuse, choosing former Cuse OC Nathaniel Hackett to run the Bills offense. After stating he wanted his coordinators to have 'through NFL experience the Hackett hire is a little puzzling. The 33-year-old's resume includes minor roles in Tampa Bay and Buffalo (retread!) along with a lengthy stay at Stanford. Hackett is a fan of the K-Gun, an offensive system that led Jim Kelly and the Bills offense to an unparalleled run of success in the early 90s.
The Bills last foray into an up tempo, no huddle offense was a disaster. The names Jauron, Schonert, Edwards and Owens rekindle traumatic memories for Bills fans. Hackett was a low level assistant on that staff. At that time Kelly gave him a Bills playbook from the 1990s, which he began to rely on — I guess that's good? Just get a damn Quarterback.
I'm staying positive. The average age of the Bills HC, OC and DC is now 42.3. Considering Chan Gailey was 103 this is a step in the right direction. New blood. Buffalo needs it.

Varronian Chronology |
The Fasti Capitolini (Musei Capitolini, Roma) |
chronology: name of the chronology of the early Roman
republic, which is several years 'out of step' with the common (or
Christian) chronology.
The Romans did not have a common era like we have. Instead, they called their years after the two supreme magistrates, the consuls. The year that corresponds to our 59 BCE was known to them as 'the year in which Gaius Julius Caesar and Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus were consuls'. As long as one had a list of magistrates, one could date all past events. Using a similar list, we are able to convert Roman year names to our year numbers. Originally, the pontifex maximus was responsible for the maintenance of the official version of this list, which was published at the end of the second century BCE. However, there are two problems, which are usually ignored by modern historians.
To return to the main problem: it was already recognized in Antiquity, and three solutions were proposed. The first one was to accept a period of anarchy of several years in the 360's. This was not a bad solution, because it is certain that there was at least one year in which the tribunes Licinius and Sextius forbade the election of magistrates. The hypothesis that this period lasted longer than one year can not be falsified, and this may be the reason why the great Roman historian Titus Livy (59 BCE - 17 CE) accepted this solution. The second solution was to introduce three fictional couples of magistrates following one year of anarchy in the 360's. The names of the six fictional consuls are Papirius and Vivius, Sacraviensis and Caeliomontanus, Priscus and Cominius, and are mentioned in a document from Late Antiquity known as the Chronicle of the year 354. The third solution is that of the Roman antiquarian Marcus Terentius Varro (116-27), a contemporary of Julius Caesar. He introduced four years in the second half of our fourth century BCE in which Rome was ruled by dictators. These years are, in the Varronian chronology, 333, 324, 309 and 301. There is not one single argument to corroborate this constitutional absurdity, which is just an all too transparent attempt to invent historical precedents for the annual dictatorship of Julius Caesar in 48 BCE. In fact, there are indications that falsify Varro's idea:
Unfortunately, Varro's list contains a second error. Not content with the introduction of four extra years, he added four years of anarchy. In other words, he solved the same problem twice, and the result is that all his dates before 300 BCE are wrong. Nevertheless, the Varronian chronology was canonized. The emperor Augustus had it inscribed in his triumphal arch (the fragments, called Fasti Capitolini, can be seen in the Capitoline Museums in Rome) and most modern scholars use the only Roman chronological system that is demonstrably incorrect. Several common errors are:
Livy is better. His History of Rome since its foundation contains the most complete list of magistrates available. We can use it to convert Roman year names into our year numbers, and can see where the four missing couples of consuls must be placed. To start with, in Livy's History, the career of Marcus Valerius Corvus lasts 46 years and the peace with Tarquinii lasts forty years. This means that we can rely on his list of magistrates for the years between 347/346 (351, according to Varro) and 299/298. This may even be corroborated, if Livy's statement in 7.28, that in the consulship of Gaius Marcius Rutilus and Titus Manlius Torquatus the sky turned dark, is a reference to a solar eclipse; in Livy's chronology, this year corresponds to our 340/339 and that is correct, because a eclipse took place in the early morning of 15 September 340. (Varro and his modern epigones want us to believe that this happened in 344.) To sum up: we can be certain about Livy's datings in the years after 347/346 BCE. All Varronian dates can be converted to our era. However, there is no external check for the preceding period. The invasion of the Gauls offers the point where we can restart our analysis. As we have already seen, Polybius states that this happened in 387/386. Livy mentions 34 groups of magistrates and 5 years of anarchy for the years until 347/346, which means that his relative chronology is one year too short. Counting backwards from 387/386, the problems disappear. Livy and Varro are more or less in agreement on the colleges of magistrates. Using 387/386 as starting point (instead of Varro's 390), we arrive at 506/505 as the first year of the Roman republic, which is in line with the date mentioned above. This suggests that the list of magistrates for the fifth century is reliable, and that we can count backwards from 387/386 BCE. Two arguments may corroborate this.
It is possible to be a little bit more precise about the location of the missing colleges. Fabius Pictor (quoted by Gellius, Attic Nights, 5.4.3) states that the first plebeian was consul in the twenty-second year after the invasion of the Gauls. These events took place in 390 (Varro) and 366 (Varro). In fact, only nineteen colleges are known for this period, which narrows the location of the missing colleges to the interval between 390-366 (Varro). Finally, it must be noted that Livy is not the only one who uses an extended anarchy. Varro used it too and must have found it in sources he could not ignore. Moreover, the three couples of magistrates in the Chronicle of 354 CE (above), must have been invented to fill an awkward gap in a consular list. This suggests that the tradition of an extended period of anarchy in the 360's was well established. In fact, the easiest solution to all chronological problems is simply to accept Livy's list as it is, including a long period of anarchy and an uncertainty margin of about one year. This does not solve all problems, but results in a far better chronology than the common Varronian chronology. |

Some students in the Ukraine have come up with something very cool: a pair of gloves that translate universal sign language into spoken words. Think of them as a built-in translator for the deaf. The students call their invention EnableTalk.
The gloves use flex sensors, touch sensors, gyroscopes and accelerometers to sense the movements being made by the speaker's hands. These are then translated via processors into spoken words and played on a speaker through a simple text-to-speech engine through a smart phone connected via Bluetooth.
The team, called QuadSquad, was presented at the finals during the Microsoft Imagine Cup in Sydney, Australia. Deservedly, the team took first place with their invention.
Previous ideas along these lines have been thousand dollar (plus) contraptions, usually with fewer sensors and wired to something else, making them cumbersome. The Ukranian team built EnableTalk with more sensors, no wires, and at a hardware cost of around $75 per pair of gloves. The team expects future refinements to have the gloves market-ready at a low price point (perhaps $200 per pair) with an app for smart phones that can be configured in any of several world languages.
The team also plans to expand the app's offering to have regional dialects (so someone from Toronto could have gloves that sound different than someone from, say, Texas). Another feature is "learning."
The gloves can learn new gestures and have those built-in be modified by the user. So sign language "shorthand" could be created by a user to make some things faster. A science student, for instance, could include several scientific jargon phrases with their own gestures in order to make conversations with colleagues easier. This also allows those using regional dialects of Universal Sign to modify their gestures to fit local phrases and terms.
The gloves, being debuted at a Microsoft event, obviously synch with Microsoft phones, but use the old Windows Mobile instead of Phone 7 because 7 doesn't allow Bluetooth from third party apps. EnableTalk will almost assuredly work with Phone 8, of course.
The team tested several prototypes as the system progressed. They used students using sign language in the Ukraine and were inspired by hearing impaired athletes at their school.
Very cool indeed. You can find out more at EnableTalk.com.

Hi all,
A few days ago Jackdays posted some nice house rules for runes spreading along the 1st, 2nd and 3rd editions of the game. Today I post what I started a few weeks ago after finishing my project of the High elves.
I extended briefly for my games the rules for runesmithing in order to cover the crafting of runic items with master runes. I also added three new careers, the Journeyman Runesmith, the Master Runesmith and the Runelord. I translated most of the runes covered in previous editions of the role play game as well as in Warhammer Fantasy Battles (a part from the Engineering runes), and put them into card format (if anyone is itnerested I can provide better resolution ones). Finally, I also included the Tradesman and the Artisan careers which I developed for my High Elf fan supplement, since they bear some relation to the crafting rules presented in the Book of Grudges.
For the fans of Slayers, and since I am aware there is no epic career for Slayers in Hero's Call, I included the Demon Slayer career card.
P.S: As always, feedback is very well welcome!

This just sort of fell together, but we're having a 4-player meetup at my place tonight. At first it was just me teaching a new player, then his girlfriend wanted to learn to play too, then I managed to find a 4th player so we wouldn't have an odd number.
Besides playing Cthulhu I also hope to teach everyone how to use LackeyCCG to play online.
Anyway, I'll post later with an update on how things went

Hi. I've been lurking for a few days and want to say how much inspiration and friendship I feel from your posts.
My Father died five years ago (December 4th) of a sudden heart attack and although time does heal the holidays can still get rough, especially for my Mum. Anyway I saw this beautiful candle message and just wanted to come out of hiding to share it with you all. Sue :) |

Thank you for the link, Sue. I hope the Holidays this year will be especially meaningful for your mother and you, and that taking the step to share this with us will help you in the healing process. Nell |
That is just beautiful! Thanks so much for posting it. |

Sue, I am also so sorry for the loss of your father. It is so hard to lose our parents who loved us unconditionally, always. Thank you so very much for the candle link. I enjoyed it and I sent it to several people. It is beautiful and so very true. Lu |
Thank you. It's five years tomorrow since Dad's sudden departure and although I know he is still with me spiritually, phsyically it does still hurt - I was a real Daddy's little girl :) Here's a link to his memorial page if you want a peek. Sue :) |

I am sorry about your dad. I can't see the candles. Can you post a url instead of a direct link, please? Thank you Carol |
Carol hope this is better. You should hear music too. Sue :) |
Thank you for the link; it is beautiful. I've been feeling very hopeless and today is a rough day. It was September 4th when my wonderful husband died unexpectedly. Each month on the 4th I walk around with a dark cloud over my head and I have to wonder how long this goes on and is it normal to feel this way on the death date each month? I question if I'm doing this to myself - I think that my misery is the only thing that is familiar anymore. I've decided to try a few couseling sessions and see if that helps me any because I've had a couple of episodes lately that seem to be close to panic attacks. I still can't believe that my soul mate is gone and I miss him so much. I tried to do the "normal" Thanksgiving thing and shopping with my daughter the day after and that was all a foolish mistake. There's nothing normal going on here. I meant to put up the tree that weekend and I still haven't and may not. Part of me wants to drag everything out and decorate the house all over the way we have for the 19 Christmas holidays we shared. The other part of me wishes I could go to bed and sleep until next year. Any words of wisdom for me out there? |
Thank you, Sue. That is beautiful. Carol |

Prescription Drug Take-Back Day nets more than 6,100 lbs. of drugs If you participated in last month's Prescription Drug Take Back Day, you certainly weren't the only one. The Department of Health and Social Services says it collected more than 6,100 pounds of unwanted and expired medications as part of the program. Officials say they collected the second-highest total of drugs collected in Delaware since the program began in 2010. Prescription Drug Take Back day is intended to help keep unwanted medications out of cabinets to help prevent drug abuse and theft. |

FRIDAY, Feb. 7, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Americans are more likely to donate a kidney to a stranger if they live in a state or region where there are high levels of well-being, according to a new study.
The finding regarding what's known as "altruistic kidney donation" could help experts find ways to increase living kidney donations, according to the study, which was published online recently in the journal Psychological Science.
"Anywhere from 11 percent to 54 percent of adults say they'd be willing to consider altruistic kidney donation, but only a tiny fraction of them actually become donors," study senior author Abigail Marsh, a psychological scientist at Georgetown University, said in a journal news release.
These findings suggest that higher levels of well-being might be a factor that "nudges" some people into actually donating a kidney, she said.
The researchers analyzed national data and found that states where larger percentages of people donated kidneys to strangers tended to have higher levels of well-being. This link remained when the states were combined into nine geographic regions, and when other factors -- such as age, education, income and mental and physical health -- were taken into account.
"You'd be amazed by the responses some donors get from those who learn about their donation -- people who see them as weird or even crazy for doing something so far outside the norm as giving away an internal organ to a stranger," Marsh said. "These data help to show that there are understandable, normal psychological mechanisms that lead to this kind of behavior, uncommon as it is."
The findings could also help increase living kidney donations, she said.
"Kidney disease is now the eighth leading cause of death in the United States, and living kidney donations are the best hope for restoring people to health who have kidney disease," Marsh said. "Understanding the dynamics that lead to this kind of donation might help increase the number of donations, which currently are in decline."

This is my favorite lipgloss from BB. I love the scent (think strawberry shortcake...yummy!) It goes on smoothly with the prettiest shimmers with a hint of pink to it. Definitely brightens up my lips really well. Plus, I got it on sale for like a dollar! What a steal!
I bought this on sale at target for like $1.50 which is awesome and even though I love this product, it should be called strawberry shortcake instead of wedding cake! I was hoping for a more foody, or even vanilla flavor, but this is plain strawberry.
Anyway- on the up side: This is one of the best lipglosses from BB, and I've tried them all. The texture is smooth, and not at all sticky, and it goes on clear with the prettiest bit of shimmer. The packaging is a bit weird, but I like it because it's different. I call it my lipgloss with balls [LOL]. I also like to wear this over Avon's flavor saver balm in strawberry. It increases the lasting power and the flavor! I definitely want to try all of these!
Not quite sure what to make of the scent, but it does smell delicious! Not really a wedding cake, but perhaps a strawberry cake with a hint of banana? Goes on a very, very sheer red with tons of shimmer. Love this!
More reviews by takeitfromme73
These are so cool! Who else makes a Wedding Cake flavored lip gloss? This smells really close to Strawberry, rather than Wedding Cake- but still has enough sweetness to smell like a Wedding Cake. Hydrates lips while leaving them shimmery and glossy. I'm really going to miss the Layered Cake Glosses!!! :(...

WASHINGTON — U.S. holiday retail sales this year grew at the weakest pace since 2008, when the nation was in a deep recession. In 2012, the shopping season was disrupted by bad weather and consumers' rising uncertainty about the economy.
A report that tracks spending on popular holiday goods, the MasterCard Advisors SpendingPulse, said Tuesday that sales in the two months before Christmas increased 0.7 percent, compared with last year. Many analysts had expected growth of 3 to 4 percent.
In 2008, sales slid by 2 to 4 percent as the financial crisis that crested that fall dragged the economy into recession.
Last year, by contrast, retail sales in November and December rose between 4 and 5 percent, according to ShopperTrak, a separate market-research firm. A 4 percent increase is considered a healthy season.
Shoppers were buffeted this year by a string of events that made them less likely to spend: Superstorm Sandy and other bad weather, the distraction of the presidential election and grief about the massacre of schoolchildren in Newtown, Conn.
The numbers also show how Washington's budget impasse is trickling down to Main Street and unsettling consumers. If Americans remain reluctant to spend, analysts say, economic growth could falter next year.
In the end, even steep last-minute discounts weren't enough to get people into stores, said Marshal Cohen, chief research analyst at the market-research firm NPD.
"A lot of the Christmas spirit was left behind way back in Black Friday weekend," Cohen said, referring to the traditional retail rush the day after Thanksgiving. "We had one reason after another for consumers to say, 'I'm going to stick to my list and not go beyond it.' "
Holiday sales are a crucial indicator of the economy's strength. November and December account for as much as 40 percent of annual sales for many retailers.
If those sales don't materialize, stores are forced to offer steeper discounts. That's a boon for shoppers, but it cuts into stores' profits.
Last-minute shoppers like Kris Betzold, of Carmel, Ind., embraced discounts that were available before Christmas.
"We went out yesterday, and I noticed that the sales were even better now than they were at Thanksgiving," she said Monday while shopping at an upscale mall in Indianapolis.
Betzold, who said the sluggish economy prompted her and her husband to be more frugal this year, noted she saved about $25 on a Kindle Fire she found at Best Buy.
Consumer spending accounts for 70 percent of overall economic activity, so the eight-week period encompassed by the SpendingPulse data is seen as a critical time not just for retailers but for manufacturers, wholesalers and companies at every other point along the supply chain.
The SpendingPulse data include sales by retailers in key holiday spending categories such as electronics, clothing, jewelry, luxury goods, furniture and other home goods between Oct. 28 and Dec. 24. That include sales across all payment methods, including cards, cash and checks.
It's the first major snapshot of retail sales during the holiday season through Christmas Eve.
A clearer picture will emerge next week as retailers like Macy's and Target report revenue from stores open for at least a year. That sales measure is widely watched in the retail industry because it excludes revenue from stores that recently opened or closed, which can be volatile.
Despite the weak numbers out Tuesday, retailers still have some time to make up lost ground.
The final week of December accounts for about 15 percent of the month's sales, said Michael McNamara, vice president for research and analysis at MasterCard Advisors SpendingPulse.
In the run-up to Christmas, analysts blamed the weather and worries about the "fiscal cliff" for putting a damper on shopping. Superstorm Sandy battered the Northeast and mid-Atlantic states in late October. Many in the New York region were left without power, and people farther inland were buried under feet of snow.
According to McNamara, the Northeast and mid-Atlantic account for 24 percent of U.S. retail sales. Buying picked up in the second half of November as retailers offered more discounts and shoppers waylaid by the storm finally made it into malls, he said.
But as the weather calmed, the threat of the "fiscal cliff" picked up.
Lawmakers remained unable to reach a deal that would prevent tax increases and government spending cuts set to take effect in January. If the cuts and tax hikes kick in and stay in place, many economists expect the nation could fall back into recession.
The news media discussed this possibility more intensely as December wore on, making Americans increasingly aware of the troubles they might face if Washington is unable to resolve the impasse. Sales never fully recovered, Cohen said.
Online sales, typically a bright spot, grew only 8.4 percent from Oct. 28 through Saturday, according to SpendingPulse. That's a dramatic slowdown from the 15 to 17 percent seen in the prior 18-month period, according to the data service.

Film Series- Flash Gordon (1980)
Almost Midnight: Camp Cult Sci-Fi Classics
Directed by Mike Hodges. Starring Sam J. Jones, Melody Anderson, Max Von Sydow.
The Earth is under attack and Dr. Hans Zarkov kidnaps famous sports hero Flash Gordon and Dale Arden. "If memory serves, this is more or less the same beginning as in the original movie serialization of 'Flash Gordon,' back in 1936. Even if it's not, this new Dino De Laurentiis production is true to the tacky pop origins of the Flash Gordon comic strip and the serials starring Buster Crabbe. At a time when "Star Wars" and its spin-offs have inspired special effects men to bust a gut making their interplanetary adventures look real, Flash Gordon is cheerfully willing to look as phony as it is." – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times.
Our 10th Anniversary Film Series celebrates five Science Fiction gems. These films have a fan following and those elusive qualities that have moved them into cult status – suitable for a midnight film showing. Well, in our case, almost midnight. But what is it about these films that draw us back to them again and again? Is it the built in self-effacing humor of these movies – that they seem to be in on the joke? Is it the absurdity of the plot lines, or the over-the-top sets and costumes? Is it the broad, scene-stealing acting? Could it be that underneath their flash there is also substance? We think the answer is yes, all of the above – but join us and our host, film screenwriter and film professor, Darren Foster as he takes us where no man has ever gone before – at least not with a straight face anyway.

A large percentage of people couldn't finish the race, says Branch.
For you, exercising in the heat may not mean running 26.2 miles. But even if you're not planning to run a marathon, you want to be smart before embarking on a summer workout.
When taking on summer exercise outdoors, says Argyle, Texas, exercise physiologist Jaime Roberts, "we need to be aware of the increase in heat and humidity."
Typically, says Roberts, our bodies are warmer than the environment. When that begins to change, our muscles regulate heat by releasing sweat, which allows the body to cool itself. But when the body is sweating, it's losing fluid, she says.
Heat exhaustion and heat stroke, dangerous side effects of overdoing summer exercise, come when the body can no longer sustain the pace, the heat, the humidity, or the loss of fluid.
"The body cools off by sweating," says Roberts, "and as long as you remain hydrated, the body is able to cool itself off."

In 1963, Barry Bishop was a member of the first American team to summit Everest, a feat for which he was awarded the Hubbard Medal by President Kennedy. He took that experience home with him, teaching his son, Brent, to climb along the East Coast and in Wyoming.
In 1994, Brent became the first American legacy to follow his father's footsteps up Everest. That year, he also co-founded the Sagarmatha Environmental Expedition, a group that would clean more than 5,000 pounds of trash from the mountain. Brent summited Everest a second time in 2002, as part of the National Geographic Mount Everest Expedition that marked the 50th anniversary of the first ascent of the mountain. With his two children now learning the ropes, a third generation of mountaineering Bishops may soon be upon us.

Bernhard Eisel and the Austrian National Championships...
Last Post 01/01/1900 12:00 AM by . 0 Replies.
mayor of simpleton
I don't wish to be too critical here, but I really feel that someone needs to set the record straight.
Bernhard Eisel's absense at the Austrian Road Cycling National Championships and his reasons as to why he was not there needs a bit of extended context.
From the new report on this website:
"The Austrian Championships suffered from the absense of Bernhard Eisel, who would have been the only HTC rider. Eisel said on Austrian Television that all Continental Teams would just be out there to beat him. He had no desire to race against an entire peloton."
... but his absense did in no way make the Championsip 'suffer'.
Matthias Krizek, the reigning U-23 champion from 2010, is a rider (and captain) in the 'farm team' of Liquigas, 'Team Marchiol'. Mat had to ride as reiging champion and as the only man from his team against the entire peloton. Mat covered ever attack alone. Mat created the decisive break. Mat road as a marked man in the wind for over 60 km more of less pulling the group of Conti Rider just waiting for him to break. The final 10km he had to counter off the attack of 3 riders from the strongest Conti Team in Austria (who finished 3rd, 4th and 5th) and road away with another rider from another strong Conti Team. He attacked in the downhill section and opened up a gap of 15 seconds over one rider and 45 seconds over he trio. In the finish, it was 20 seconds over the second placed rioder and over 1 minute over the trio. The main field, who was only 1 minute behind him entering the last 45 km had nearly 14 minutes deficit.
In all due respect to Bernhard Eisel (actually a friend of Mat and myself), the Chapionship did not suffer at all. Mat performed the 'impossible task' that Bernie did not wish to undertake.
I do not wish to say anything negative regarding Bernie, as he is a top professional and hs his good reasons as to why he did not wish to ride (my tip was that the course was not really his and he has much better things to do in preparation for the coming races), but I do request that the REAL STORY of the race be reported rather than a brushing off of an effort on the part of Matthias Krizek that is more than worthy of a REAL CHAMPION.
HTC is a great team, but they did not invent cycling. The absense of a single rider from this team in an event does not damn a race to insignificance nor does it make a trivial pursuit out of the effort of Matthias Krizek and the other riders in the event.

Sandboxing tools allow you to run a program on your system without worrying about the program interacting with your operating systems or other files unless you explicitly give permission. This is very useful for many people, especially those that like to install software a lot. Sandboxie is one such great sandbox tool and it has now been bought.
Recently Sandboxie has been acquired by the company Invincea. What does that mean for current Sandboxie users? For those who are current lifetime license owners, you will still be able to use Sandboxie and will continue to receive updates — Invincea is honoring that and they say there are no plans to make any changes to those licenses. For new Sandboxie users? It isn't entirely clear if pricing will be tweaked going forward.
As for the development of Sandboxie, it is expected to continue as normal for now but it is said that the original developer of Sandboxie will leave in January 2014. In the long run, Invincea plans on consolidating Sandboxie with its own security solution.
A statement from Invincea says, "Adding Sandboxie to Invincea's portfolio was a strategic move to expand our business globally, to address the small and individual market, and provide a pathway for Sandboxie fans to an enterprise ready solution."
Are you a Sandboxie user? How do you feel about this development? Let us know in the comments below!

Hell at this point I want a perma key not this 180 days crap I don't trust no other company for the design and use of sandboxie.
Just to be on the safe side I think a class action lawsuit is in order
"First, Sandboxie is a great product that individuals can download for free and get immediate protection on their own machines – it has been and will remain this way."
I have a lifetime license for Sandboxie. Recently, when I saw that there were no more lifetime licenses, I felt lucky to get one.
The present article indicates that the new owners of Sandboxie say there are no plans to make any changes to those lifetime licenses already owned by many people.
I feel that they are saying that there is no actual plans to drop down these licenses but that there may be such plans in an indefinite future…
If this is what is "planned", I will not buy any other license from them and I will rely only on Shadow Defender which I have recently bought also with a lifetime license. This software is actually on sale with a 35% discount on the maker's website.
I would also make use of the freeware version of Sandboxie if it still exists, but nothing more…
But something very sure is that I would speak against this company everytime I would get the chance to do so.

I hope they can work out a deal with for CLTVHD as apart of the WGN issue.
Since your sig's location says Colorado are you hoping tha CLTVHD gets added as a national channel which doesn't make sense since it's a local Chicago area channel?
See post My Setup for configuration info.

what about the sports books? sports bars? hotels with WGN America they can't just all move to other systems.
Don't worry, you'll survive.

It took, what, only three messages for the "good for DirecTV" crowd to chime in, as if DirecTV cares about anything other than its bottom line, or if this will prevent, ameliorate or even minutely effect the annual rate increase DirecTV will be "forced" to pass on to consumers in 2013, 2014, 2015 and beyond, in order to keep its profit margins on the ever-increasing upswing. (Since up is the only way ANY public corporation can ever have its profits go; logic and finite demand be damned.)
Obviously, DirecTV will keep trying to pay as little as they can (as any business would), while charging the absolute maximum possible the market will bear (again, naturally), all while doing the math on how much any particular channel loss/price increase will effect their bottom line (i.e. churn). Not how it will effect their customers mind you, but simply DirecTV's own bottom line.
. . .
I don't even see how these channel disputes always get broken down into 'good guy' and 'bad guy' debates. Why does anyone buy into the P.R. spin? It's laughable on its face. As far as our own self-interest, and those of other non-stock-holding paying customer, they are always BOTH bad guys.
You are right that DirecTV only cares about its bottom line and that DirecTV will pass any cost increase on to the customers; however, taking a stand to keep the cost down is in the best intererst of both DirecTV and the customer. No matter how you cut it, paying more for content will drive up the cost, and increasing rates will cause some customers to drop the service. Both of these have a negative impact on DirecTV's bottom line, so keeping the costs down is in the best interest of both DirecTV and the customer.
I think it is easy to see why these get broken down to "good guy" and "bad guy" debates, although it might be more corectly characterized as "bad guy" / "worse guy". The content providers in LIL disputes are the ones picking the fights. I remember the days when FOX, the WB, and UPN affiliates were fighting for, and eventually were granted, "must carry", which forced cable and satellite companies to retransmit their signals if NBC, CBS, and ABC were offered. The "must carry" regulations also forced DirecTV to treat all locals from the same DMA the same (i.e., back in the SD only days when multiple catellite LNBs were rare, DirecTV could not put ABC, NBC, and CBS on the 101 satellite and the other locals from the same DMA on 110 or 119).
As a result of the "must carry", FOX achieved pariety with the other three major networks, and CW, the remnants of WB and UPN, achieved significant market penetration. Now, some of the locals have turned around and demanded that they be paid for what they could not give away before. I think that is far worse than DirecTV trying to hold the line on costs.
It is not just DirecTV that has carriage disputes. Our local Time Warner Cable had a dispute with Disney, and our local ABC station is an O&O, so it was included in the dispute.
Posted 27 March 2012 - 11:59 AM
If there was enough demand for G4, it would have been resolved, but the balance between the demand and what G4 expected to be paid was too far in the direction of too little demand, so G4 was dropped. I am sure that DirecTV lost some subscribers over that decision, but it was too few to make it worth paying what it would have cost to keep G4.
The Versus (now NBC Sports Network) dispute was long, but it did not start until after the Tour de France ended and was resolved before the start of the next Tour de France. At the time, the Tour was by far the most widely viewed event on Versus. DirecTV carried Universal Sports for the Vuelta de Espana while Versus was dark, so Comcast lost more from that outage than DirecTV did. Had there not been the dispute, the Vuelta would not have been on DirecTV that year.

We will be moving to another provider if WGN is dropped for more than a few days beyond the deadline date. As a sub since '98 we will miss the logical layout of channels and decent customer service but if they don't offer a channel we like to watch, why have the service?
One thing we won't miss is the unfixable HR-22, the Yugo of DVRs.
Good luck finding a provider that's immune to this madness.

I would happily pay for a direct feed from the networks (PBS, NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox, CW) and cut the local yahoos out of the mix entirely. Here in Little Rock, you are much more likely to see the entire screen jumbled up with weather garbage (usually tracking a minimal storm that is outside their viewing area) than the show anyway.
Except that the east coast CW feed will be dropped. Only feed is going to be is from XETV Tijuana.

Not how it will effect their customers mind you, but simply DirecTV's own bottom line.
I don't especially fault DirecTV for thinking this way, but I do have to roll my eyes at the continual back and forth and credulity regularly expressed here. Do the people who always chime in "thanking" DirecTV for "taking a stand" and "drawing a line" actually believe the rhetoric that DirecTV, or any corporation, is "fighting for" the consumer's best interest? Or "protecting" us from higher costs?
Beyond the $$$ you represent DirecTV doesn't give a rat's patoot about your "best interests." If it was legal for them to send a guy to your house and physically hang you by the heels and shake you solely to collect the loose change that falls out of your pockets don't think they, and just about other business, wouldn't do it in a heartbeat. The only interests DirecTV--and the channels for that matter--care about, are their own.
And, as someone else astutely and absolutely accurately pointed out, there will be a cost here: the eventual increase, no matter how large or small it is PLUS the escalating marketing war waged by both sides ... And there is zero doubt, no matter how this plays out, that every penny will, one way or another, ALL be passed on to the consumer, i.e. you and I. This slap fight Tribune and DirecTV are currently waging? Funded by us. I guarantee.
I don't even see how these channel disputes always get broken down into 'good guy' and 'bad guy' debates. Why does anyone buy into the P.R. spin? It's laughable on its face. As far as our own self-interest, and those of other non-stock-holding paying customer, they are always BOTH bad guys. Be it the now resolved year-long Versus fight, FOX channel stand-off, Viacom, Disney Jr., Tribune (which personally would mean we would lose our local CW and antenna isn't an option where we live), or a dozen other fights of this type that are now too frequent to recall... If the company I'm paying more and more every year to provide with me TV can't, or won't, provide the channels it promised, I'm the loser. Simply put: They have my money. I don't have my channel. It's getting beyond tiresome.
The arguments about whose 'fault' the negotiation breakdown is are childish and pointless and the public airing of grievances as a way to do business ever-so-annoying. I am beyond sick of the corporate press release regurgitation machine that couches every single carefully calculated financial decision--and that's what all of these "breakdown in negotiation" info spams are--and tries to spin it into a moral argument. One could easily argue that trying to do so is the company's obligation, but for goodness sake, let's be smarter than that and not buy into their pitch, OK? They can try and drag us into their playground game--the discourse of which rarely raises above the "nuh-uh" "yeah-huh" and "I know you are but what am I?" level--but we don't actually have to let them.
Years ago, when I used to regularly read about such stand-off tactics with Dish (and here I will insert a preemptive plea to please, skip the moral relevance arguments about which company is "worse," or does it more often) I was oh-so-happy that I wasn't beholden to that company. Now it seems DirecTV is embroiled in one public channel carriage smack down or another just about constantly. Some directly effect me, some don't. But there's always some loyal, paying customer getting the shaft.
I just want to pay for my service and turn on my TV and tune to whatever channel I was told I am paying for when they took my funds and have it work. Is that too much to ask? (And before someone argues: I assure you, it's not.) I don't want, or need, to know how the sausage is made. To have to write to this entity or call that one or post on this or that Facebook or Twitter page, or sign a petition to express my desire to continue receiving what I'm already signed up and paying for.
I pay good, hard-earned money for television, and in the case of DirecTV I pay them a lot, to AVOID this sort of hassle. Cut the B.S. and make the deal. Or, for that matter, don't. But just say come out and say it--that you are dropping such-and-such channel on such-and-such date because you couldn't reach a deal--and allow those that want to, to go elsewhere. Stop threatening customers with channel contract end dates and "tense negotiations" whilst using us as both battering rams (the "write/call/tweet" command) and pawns in your back-and-forth.
Ugh. So frustrated.

Go ahead and pull the stations money hungry tribune company.
Full page ad in the LA Times today, which is also owned by Tribune.Hey guys long time reader.
They have been advertising it like crazy here including a full page ad in today's Hartford Courant. (The Hartford Courant is also owned by the same company)
Anyone else seeing a media blitz in their area due to this situation?
The only show I watch on the CW is Nikita, but I also watch their local news from time to time. It would suck a bit if they were gone.

From what I'm hearing in the biz, Tribune wants more than 130% increase on their rates and DTV is saying no. As they should. DTV has also said they expect Tribune to keep the programming up. If it comes down, this will be Tribune's decision, not DTV's.
In the end, this stuff normally gets worked out but it is great to see media consolidation working so well, isn't? The Tribune can run editorials and free advertising on their newspapers and television channels to say how big, bad and terrible DTV is without one second spent on the outrageous amount of money they are asking to keep carrying their programming.
I would be surprised if the channel comes down at all, or if it does it won't last that long. Your rates will go up again, and I'm sure you are all pleased about that. Have to get your Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

The local stations broadcast their stations for free OTA and DIRECTV re-broadcasts their programming to their subscribers, in their markets. DIRECTV also expands their coverage area and provides locals to people who cannot get them OTA.
Then DIRECTV has to pay THEM for expanding their coverage area?
I have no issue with the $3 we pay DIRECTV for locals, considering that DIRECTV is broadcasting 2702 channels (at last count) to cover all the markets the $3 seems a little cheap.
I do have an issue with these local providers double-dipping and charging the cable and satellite companies for expanding their coverage area.
There is one thing I would REALLY like to see, I would like to see the FCC allowing all cable and satellite broadcasters to setup their own OTA array in the local markets with uplink. Then give the cable / satellite broadcaster's permission to re-broadcast anything the OTA can get (as long as the broadcast remains within the market) and the local station owners get nada for it.
Just my 2 cents.
Posted 27 March 2012 - 09:06 PM
Yep same here;
Though others here in the house don't have AM21s.
Therefore wonder if DIRECTV will offer free or discounts on them if indeed the signal is turned off?
What about MLB EI games via any tribune outlets?

This topic shows you how to authorize authenticated users for accessing data in Azure Mobile Services from a Windows Phone app. In this tutorial you add code to the data access methods in your your controller that filter queries based on the userId of an authenticated user, ensuring that each user can see only their own data.
This tutorial is based on the Mobile Services quickstart and builds on the previous tutorial Get started with authentication. Before you start this tutorial, you must first complete Get started with authentication.
Now that authentication is required to access data in the TodoItem table, you can use the userID value assigned by Mobile Services to filter returned data.
The methods below should have the AuthorizeLevel attribute applied at the Authorizationlevel of User. This restricts table access to only authenticated users.
In Visual Studio 2013, open your mobile service project, expand the DataObjects folder, then open the TodoItem.cs project file.
The TodoItem class defines the data object, and you need to add a UserId property to use for filtering.
Add the following new UserId property to the TodoItem class:
public string UserId { get; set; }
When using the default database initializer, Entity Framework will drop and recreate the database whenever it detects a data model change in the Code First model definition. To make this data model change and maintain existing data in the database, you must use Code First Migrations. The default initializer cannot be used against a SQL Database in Azure. For more information, see How to Use Code First Migrations to Update the Data Model.
In Solution Explorer, expand the Controllers folder, open the TodoItemController.cs project file, and add the following using statement:
using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile.Service.Security;
The TodoItemController class implements data access for the TodoItem table.
Locate the PostTodoItem method and add the following code at the beginning of the method:
// Get the logged-in user. var currentUser = User as ServiceUser; // Set the user ID on the item. item.UserId = currentUser.Id;
This code adds a UserId value to the item, which is the user ID of the authenticated user, before it is inserted into the TodoItem table.
Locate the GetAllTodoItems method and replace the existing return statement with the following line of code:
// Get the logged-in user. var currentUser = User as ServiceUser; return Query().Where(todo => todo.UserId == currentUser.Id);
This query filters the returned TodoItem objects so that each user only receives the items that they inserted.
Republish the mobile service project to Azure.
In Visual Studio 2013 for Windows Phone, open the project that you modified when you completed the tutorial Get started with authentication.
Press the F5 key to run the app, then log-on with your chosen identity provider.
Notice that this time, although there are items already in the TodoItem table from previous tutorials, no items are returned. This happens because previous items were inserted without the userId column and now have null values.
In the app, enter text in the textbox and then click Save.
This inserts both the text and the userId in the TodoItem table in the mobile service. Because the new item has the correct userId value, it is returned by the mobile service.
(Optional) If you have additional login accounts, you can verify that users can only see their own data by closing the app (Alt+F4) and then running it again. When the login credentials dialog is displayed, enter a different login, and then verify that the items entered under the previous account are not displayed.
This concludes the tutorials that demonstrate the basics of working with authentication. Consider finding out more about the following Mobile Services topics:

I added Touch of Class last spring. It was purely impulse based on how healthy it looked in its 6" pot at the local nursery.
It was no baby when I bought it, but it has really grown over its first winter here. The color, pattern and leaf shape are simply outstanding. I think I could use these tough, thick leafs to shingle my roof! TOC is my new favorite: |
Follow-Up Postings:
Very nice. It is one that I have been wanting to get along with the larger version. Grand Marquee. I want them both. |
Boy, that looks gorgeous. As much as I love that family of hosta, none of them grow well for me except June, which was a pretty good size when I got it. The rest have been so slow. My TOC is five years old and nowhere near that nice and full. |
- Posted by anniegolden z7a (My Page) on Sat, May 5, 12 at 13:35
Beautiful. I love it. Oh, the wish list grows and grows. Do you think TOC would grow nicely in deep shade? I have a spot on the north side of the house that is also in dense shade from trees. Christine |
Oh Harry, I want my Touch of Class to look like yours. Mine is in its second year, does the center thin out with age, or does it have to do with the amoun of sun? Gesila |
Mine varies from year to year. I looked up some past photos (4 years' worth) and it could be two different plants! But what would you expect from a sport of "June" that behaves the same way by changing her looks depending on the sun. I don't always keep track of where I place my pots because I move them around depending on what I like at the time. Why don't you just get another one just to see... -Babka |
- Posted by steve_mass 5b (My Page) on Sat, May 5, 12 at 19:21
I have Touch of Class (TOC) which is beautiful but would also like Grand Marquee. (GM) because of the narrower center. From what I see posted I think TOC has a wider yellow center than Grand Marquee. Is Harry sure he has TOC. I think he might have GM or is the wideness of the yellow center determined by the amount of sunlight the plant receives. |
Is is interesting that these two, TOC and GM, are from different parentage. Not just from Halcyon>June. I mentioned in another post that my TOC over 4 years (this is its 5th) looks like two different plants depending, I guess, on light conditions. As always, when in doubt...just get one of each and see for yourself. That is always a great excuse to get more. -Babka |
Beautiful! I now need to add Touch of Class to my wish list! |
Touch of Class is in a very shady spot here. It receives just a little early morning sun. I do prefer the narrow center "flame" stripe. Dream Weaver is the only other hosta here which is close in appearance. My new Lakeside Beach Captain has not yet shown its full colors. I checked the label which came with my TOC. Its from Garden Splendor which is a featured provider at the local nursery. I have had good luck with hosta purchased there. The picture on the tag has a much wider center stripe. |
It is interesting that these two, TOC and GM, are from different parentage. Not just from Halcyon>June. Grand Marquee is likely a sport of Halycon or June (not a sport of Carder Blue as the registration says). Refer to The Hostapedia, page 376, for information on this. Touch of Class is a sport of June, which is a sport of Halycon. I think these two hostas are probably very closely related, which is why they are nearly identical. A few others that are somewhat similar in appearance are Catherine, Dinner Jacket, and Olympic Sunrise. Not sure if we could really see much difference between these if we planted them all in a row... |
Silly me, I was going by the Hosta Registry and My Hostas Database. I don't have the Hostapedia. I think I used to have every book ever published about hostas, but now the only one I keep is Zilis' little "Hosta Handbook". I'm finding that even by the time these books get published, they are out of date. I would tend to believe Mark Zilis, and if he thinks they are both sports with Halcyon in their ancestry, that is good enough for me. Thanks, Don, for the heads up. -Babka |
Here is my Touch of Class from last year....it looks nicer than I remembered it. I still find it slow, which is why I guess it doesn't grab me as some others. Mine has the narrow streak, too. I'll have to pay attention this year and see if it looks the same. |
- Posted by Hostamedic NW MN (My Page) on Sun, May 6, 12 at 19:43
Here is mine from last year, it was my favorite. This year I am only starting to see just one eye poking....dissapointing. |
No problem, Babka. Here's what Zilis says in The Hostapedia: "I doubt that 'Grand Marquee' sported from its listed mother plant, 'Carder Blue'. 'Grand Marquee' bears a close resemblance to 'Olympic Sunrise' and 'Touch of Class', two sports related to 'Halcyon', and does not appear anything like 'Carder Blue'. The latter is a 'Tokudama'-type that bears larger, broader leaves with more vein pairs (16) than 'Grand Marquee' (12). It also becomes a larger mound and produces near-white flowers from late June into mid-July, versus the pale lavender flowers in July-August of 'Grand Marquee'." IMO, 'Grand Marquee' must be a sport (or perhaps a seedling) of something with a Tardiana background...it surely looks much more like that than 'Tokudama'. |
- Posted by leafwatcher zone 5 (My Page) on Sun, May 6, 12 at 20:31
It is indeed a very RICH looking plant, |
Here are my Touch of Class, Grand Marquee and June Both TOC and Grand Marquee are under a maple tree (I know) on the north side of the house, so have very little sun. They are very similar but I like them both. TOC also looks good way into the fall. |
- Posted by hosta_freak z6 NC (My Page) on Mon, May 7, 12 at 13:18
Beautiful,all of you!! It looks like I'm the only one who doesn't have one,but I have never seen one in person. Maybe my local nursery has one,but I doubt it. I still haven't haven't gone up the road to the nursery two counties up from me this year,though. Phil |
I'm very pleased that I purchased Touch of Class this year. I placed it directly next to the better looking of my June plants, so that I can appreciate the differences and the shared lineage. Like June, TOC obviously shows incredible variation in amount of variegation. It's one to photograph every year to see how it changes over time, not only in shape and size, but also in color. |
I have fallen under its spell-must.add.to.list. To.buy!! |

Just wanted to note that the OP's picture is no longer Touch of Class. |
You're right, Hippie! Oh well....here's mine, which was a bonus plant from Hallson's in April of last year: Karen |
I cannot figure out how that happened? |
- Posted by moccasinlanding z9A AL (My Page) on Fri, May 18, 12 at 12:12
....hmmmmm, talk about confused.....which way did he go????? Post it again Harry. Maybe it will be TOC this time. Like frostynyc says, I like to put family together, and having June next to TOC would be the way I'd feature them. So I could enjoy the similar/different nature of the plants. It is a way for me to educate my eye. Hosta are filled with infinite variation, and I like that a lot. Never boring. |
