This is my 1st post to the forum. I'm interested in ideas on mounting a holster in one's car or truck for easy/quick access in the event it is needed. The situation is this: you are confronted by a perp at your hard-top driver's window (assuming its down) at a drive-through, etc., or while stopped in traffic or a parking lot with your convertible top down. Trying to dig in the glovebox for a pistol may be too little too late. I've thought about mounting a holster on the passenger side leg area of the shifter/storage area between most passenger seats (sits on the hump above the tranny). The holster would not be permanently mounted here, so that it can be secured out of sight when you are not in the vehicle. At this location, it's within quickdraw reach if needed, but not in the driver's way. Anyone have thoughts on this location or recommendations of a good holster for such mounting? I carry a Glock. Obviously, staying alert and avoiding areas known to be rife with crime is the first step. What I'm trying to be prepared for is the perp attacking at a redlight on a busy highway or drive-through window with traffic blocking all escape exits, or in a nice area. Crime doesn't just occur in the hood. Thanks! Hunter of Animals

Why don't you stop by the introduction section and say hi.
Depending on what state you are in this could be illegal. Check your laws first. While it may be OK to conceal it on your person, it may have to be fully open or in a glove box to be legal. Where I am from a CCW holder cant keep a pistol concealed anywhere but on their body or in the glove box (no CCW required). Center console is off limits, even with CCW. Crazy I know.
________________________________________ "I'm your brother, just make it count."
NitroxAz, will do. hillbilly, I don't think a holster mounted in plain sight on the side of a center console would be considered "concealed." Now, in some states, like Maryland, you can't have a firearm in the car for protection, no matter the location, but only for taking to have it serviced, travel to a sanctioned firearms event, etc. (which is one reason I'd never live there). And I'm aware of the fed. law allowing interstate transport if the firearm is unloaded and in a locked enclosure away from the driver. In MD and under the federal law (while travelling through liberal states), a holster mount wouldn't be appropriate. I'm in Mississippi, a shall-issue CCW state, so I'm home free on that issue. The automobile is an extension of the home in MS. I'd make the holster removable since it is visible while the car is parked. I'm still looking for some ideas on such a mounted holster. Reaching for the glovebox in a convertible while the perp has you by the shirt collar won't help much. Again, situational awareness is step 1. I want to to move to step 2. Ideas and suggestions are welcome. HOA
An IWB cross draw will give you better access when seated, less likely to BONK the steering wheel as you attempt to bring the muzzle to bear on attacker at your window. However- situational awareness- if I have reached the stage of things that I would be justified in busting a cap on someone, and my vehicle is still capable of being driven- the bad guy better be wearing track shoes if he wants to hang onto my shirt. I will stand and fight when I have to. ONLY when I have to.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
I saw something like this on Shooting USA. Fobus Holster: UNIVERSAL HOME & VEHICLE MOUNT Or a shoulder holster would work well.
When I first moved up here in '79 I got a ride from a guy who had a left hand holster pop-riveted under the dash of his old panel truck, to the left of the steering wheel. Thought that was pretty cool, tho i've never done it myself.
Here are a couple of options:Pro - Tech Seat Buddy Holster, Holsters, Pro-Tech at Sportsman's Guide and DeSantis Ambidextrous - Black - Kingston Car Seat Holster N92BJ88Z0 FREE S&H N92BJ88Z0. DeSantis Style N92 Holsters, DeSantis Holsters. You can find both of these in other places if you don't like the price/company.

Taking control of a pirate ship can make you work up a mighty appetite. Luckily, there's a wooden kitchen. At E2 Toys2Try, LLC there are plenty of eco-friendly, lead-free toys and play stations to gallop to and from. The space abounds with baubles that run only on imaginations instead of batteries or vengeful, displaced souls. Along with the pirate ship there's a pedal truck, wooden kitchen, and indoor castle clubhouse. The playground's team stretches kids' imaginations further by engaging them in arts activities, which parents can watch from the cozy confines of a lounge replete with complimentary coffee and free WiFi. Upstairs, staffers stock a boutique toy shop's shelves with wooden and nonmechanized playthings from brands such as Bruder, Haba Toys, and PlanToys.
S.W. Randall Toys & Gifts' impressive catalogue features more than 20,000 specialty toys and games by brands that include Hasbro, Mattel, and Milton Bradley. During safaris through one of the store's ample toy pastures, a Toysmith explorer telescope ($16.95) offers aid to patrons observing the gluttonous habits of Hungry Hungry Hippos ($22.95). A rousing game of Twister ($18.50) can vastly improve flexibility and hand-dot coordination—both important skills to demonstrate at college orientation sessions—and for those seeking shenanigans beyond what Trouble the board game ($14.95) has to offer, a multivoice changer ($14.95) easily befuddles McDonald's drive-thru attendants with its 10 distinct sound modulations.
At Smart Toys, parents don't have to choose between fun and educational. That's because the staff at each location stocks their shelves with toys that fit both categories. Youngsters can learn as they play, developing eye-hand coordination while operating flying helicopters or practicing parallel parking with Hot Wheels. They can also express themselves creatively with art supplies by Crayola or boost critical thinking skills with board games including Clue and Monopoly.
Target Portrait Studios are operated by professional photographers who aim to help you capture special moments. Target's studios can be decorated for most any type of shoot, whether you're celebrating a mom-to-be, a graduation, or an upcoming holiday. Subjects also have the opportunity to choose their own backdrops or props, and they can even bring in their favorite toy or invisible friend. The customization doesn't end with the shoot, though?digital files can be personalized with borders, designs, and quotes and then printed in a variety of sizes.
For more than 60 years, Toys"R"Us has been helping kids be kids and grown-ups to revisit their childhoods by providing one of the largest selections of top-brand toys, electronics, games and everyday baby essentials. Founder, Charles Lazarus, revolutionized the toy business by modeling his stores after supermarkets, providing a variety of options to suit varying ages and interests and offering customers to help themselves and have fun in the process. Today, that sense of playfulness is evident at nearly 600 stores in the United States alone, including a flagship location in Times Square where kids are greeted by a 60-foot Ferris wheel, a 5-ton animatronic T-Rex, and a life-sized, 4,000-square-foot Barbie house.
Beyond everybody's favorite bikes, trains and video games, each Toys"R"Us store keeps its shelves stocked with the season's must-have toys as well as nostalgic standbys that never go out of style. Time-tested brands such as LEGO, Radio Flyer, NERF and Fisher-Price share the shelves with an expansive selection of electronics for older kids, including Wii U and tablets. And though the company has inspired generations of boys and girls to try their hardest not to grow up, it also strives to ensure budding brains develop right on track by devoting a significant portion of its stores to "smart-play" with a wide selection of electronic learning toys and software.
Toys"R"Us—whose extended family of brands includes Babies"R"Us and FAO Schwarz—has earned a number of awards and recognitions through the years, including a spot on Fortune's list of the World's Most Admired Companies in 2012. The company has also drawn considerable recognition for its expansive charitable efforts, which include partnerships with the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation and Save the Children. This year also marks the tenth consecutive year that the company has partnered with the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation to collect new, unwrapped toys and monetary donations in its stores to benefit the organization.

Soup beans is an old Appalachian staple, nourishing, healthy and delicious. The photo is from Southern Living No Taste Like Home, by Kelly Alexander.Think Southern food and what comes to mind? Barbecue, cornbread, banana pudding, pimento cheese, fried chicken, country ham, biscuits, gumbo, shrimp, grits ... shrimp and grits. The regions contributions to good eating are legendary.
But there is a dish from the South that flies under much of the countrys culinary radar. Its authentic, delicious and healthy and its virtually unknown north of the Mason-Dixon line: soup beans.
Bean soup, you say? Nope. Soup beans essentially a pot of soupy beans cooked with a ham hock or fatback and water. Soup beans is a regional specialty of the southern foothills of the Appalachians.
Charles Frazier, author of the Civil War novel Cold Mountain and a native of Asheville, N.C., is crazy for soup beans. He has spent decades chasing the flavor of the soup beans of his childhood. Fortunately for us, he shared his thoughts on soup beans and his method of making them with Southern Living magazine, and the editors included his method in a new book, No Taste Like Home, by Kelly Alexander.
In hard times, people in Appalachia kept 50-pound bags of dried shelling beans at the ready, and a pot of soup beans was almost always simmering on the wood stove. Pinto beans were traditional, but navy beans are an acceptable variation. (Frazier throws in a handful of yellow split peas as well.)
Ham hocks, ham, bacon or salt pork can all work as the flavoring. Frazier recommends no more than ½ pound of pork to 1 pound of beans; otherwise the flavor of the vegetables becomes overwhelmed by hog.
Soup beans is traditionally served either on a bed of crumbled cornbread, or the cornbread is crumbled into the bowl by the person eating the dish like adding crackers to chili. Toppings include sweet-hot pepper jelly and chopped raw onion; Frazier likes to use a good quality olive oil and ground black pepper. Cooked greens, like collards, are often served on the side.
In No Taste Like Home, the photos of the Appalachian foothills bursting with fall colors mirror autumnal scenes in northern New England and the northern Midwest. With the cold coming on, it might be wise for those of us up north to learn from our neighbors down south and get cozy with a pot of soup beans.
Soup Beans
Yield: 8 cups
8 ounces cured pork (ham, kielbasa or thick-cut bacon) or 1½ pounds ham hocks
1 large onion
4 carrots
4 stalks celery
Olive oil, as needed
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 pound dried navy beans, rinsed and picked over
¼ cup yellow split peas, rinsed and picked over
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth plus 4 cups water OR 8 cups water
1 tablespoon dried savory
1 bay leaf
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
For serving:
Chopped onion, sweet-hot pepper relish and wedges of cornbread
Good quality extra-virgin olive oil and coarsely ground black pepper
If using ham, kielbasa or bacon, dice into pieces no bigger than the beans. If using ham hock, set aside.
Set a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the ham/kielbasa/bacon for 3 minutes. Remove the meat from the skillet, but keep the drippings in it.
Peel and trim the vegetables as needed and cut into ½-inch dice.
Set the skillet with the drippings over low heat. (If using a ham hock, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil instead.) Cook the vegetables for about 5 minutes. Enhance with a little olive oil if desired, or if you dont have enough drippings. When vegetables are fragrant and soft but not browned, add the garlic. Cook 2 more minutes, stirring frequently.
Combine the navy beans, split peas, pork orham hocks and the cooked vegetables in a large Dutch oven. Cover with liquid; you want 8 cups total. (If you are using ham hocks, they may stick up above the liquid.) Add the savory, bay leaf and about ¼ teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours. Uncover and cook 1½ hours more, or until the split peas are entirely dissolved and the navy beans are still whole but completely soft.
During this time, stir occasionally and add liquid if needed to keep the beans submerged. Cooking time will vary depending on the size and freshness of the beans and the altitude at which you are cooking. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, with desired accompaniments.

I get this question all of the time: "Do you acupuncture people yet?"
Yes, kind of, not really, I don't know what I'm supposed to say exactly. Do I put needles in people? Yes, of course. Should I? Well, that's where you've got me. Technically, I'm not a licensed acupuncturist yet, so I take that to mean that I can't charge people for acupuncture yet. Is it safe for me to needle people? Well, I do have my Clean Needle Technique certificate filed away somewhere....
Do I know what I'm doing? Can I help someone feel better? I don't want to be a pretentious jerk and assume the answers are "yes" here, but over the past year I've certainly had some good feedback. As a sometimes full-time and sometimes part-time student in the acupuncture program, I'm somewhere around Tri 5. I've completed a large chunk of the coursework, the whole observation phase in the clinic, and now I'm actively practicing on everyone who schedules an appointment with me in the AOM clinic on campus.
For the next year, I'll continue along in this internship, enjoying the opportunity to test out treatment strategies, hone my diagnosis skills, and figure out if "patient consents to treatment" actually belongs in the "A" or the "P" portion of the SOAP note. I'll do intakes; I'll form diagnostic impressions; I'll pow-wow with Dr. Cai, Dr. Stretch, and any other clinician I can find. I'll needle patients; I'll moxa their cold feet; and I'll do as much moving cupping as my forearm strength permits. If you're really special, I'll do tui na and I'll gua sha you afterward. Want some herbs? Sure, we have raw, granules, or patent pills. Right this way!
While the patient visits are the most important and most fun parts of the clinic internship experience, the clinic lottery is the part that causes the most anxiety among the interns. "Will I get my same shifts next tri?" "Which clinician will I work under?" "Which interns or observers will be on my shift?" All of these panic-stricken questions and many more can be heard all over campus right now -- the infamous Week 12 clinic sign-up and resulting lottery has arrived!
Sure, interns get to sign up for their preferred shifts and locations for clinic internships. We AOM students have the luxury of choosing the on-campus Lombard Whole Health Center clinic or driving to Stroger (Cook County Hospital) in Chicago for an off-site experience. My 45-minute commute is plenty, so I try to keep it simple and stick to the main campus. There we all are, fluttering around the sign-up sheet in the clinic lounge room, which is busting at the seams on a regular day, elbowing the interns who are actually trying to sit nicely and write SOAP notes that day.
If all goes well, there is a nice white empty slot shining and waiting just for you on the day and time that you've decided would be perfect for your upcoming trimester. In reality, someone else probably agreed and already signed up for that one. In the end, many interns are able to secure an acceptable shift and everyone survives the sign-up week. Some lucky individuals end up in the clinic lottery, where randomly drawn numbers allow devastated interns to play a sort of game-show rendition of "This will be your life next trimester."
In my two years at NUHS, we haven't lost anyone yet! The sign-up process can be stressful for some, but by the time the next trimester rolls around, we're all just excited to start treating our patients and working with our clinicians to hone our skills. I have one more year of this endearing learning process, and then it's out into the real world for me (again). No more clinicians to ask questions of, no more easily accessible chiropractors down the hall to consult with on orthopedic issues (thanks, Dr. Anderson!), and no more half-days of work! Maybe this whole clinic deal is pretty great after all....
You've made the first move. You've called to schedule an appointment in the AOM clinic. Just as you think you're almost done with this first critical step, the receptionist throws a massively important, yet completely unexpected, wrench in your plan. "Which intern are you looking to schedule with?"
Oh. My. God. What do you do? Which name do you say off the top of your head? As you feel the pressure mount in those two seconds of silence on the phone, your brain quickly scans the names, personalities, general skill levels, and specific competencies of every student you know at NUHS.
It might not seem like a big decision to some, but for many patients, your intern will make or break the entire appointment. I've heard it all in the halls of the clinic, "He got a D on that Point Location Exam, so I don't want to schedule with him!" "She's the only one who follows up needling with tui na every week--I want her!" "I only (or, I don't) want my best friends seeing me with my pants down." If you're bringing sensitive people--the elderly or young children--then even appearance might matter. If I scheduled my kids with a super-tall bearded man, they might run outside and hide by the swans!
If you haven't thought about which intern you will choose for your first or next acupuncture appointment, here is a handy guide to help weigh your options. No, I'm not going to provide a rating list of each intern in clinic this trimester, complete with names, pictures, and assorted blasphemies or accolades. Instead, I'm going to walk you through the options that may or may not be important to you in your decision-making process.

Now for the great part--there isn't one intern who fits every criteria! This is wonderful news, because it means that a variety of options exist for each patient who walks through the door. Each patient is different, and each intern is different. If you've tried acupuncture once, but just didn't get that great feeling, then try again with someone else! If you were lucky and hit it out of the park with your first intern, then stick with that person, or ask him or her for a referral for another intern who treats in a similar style.
Good luck, and happy hunting!

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Women's Shorts in stock than that.
Ride off into the sunset wearing your Roxy Horizon Shorts, but do it on a bike or in a car rather than a horse because short shorts and saddle leather don't mix very well.
