Many Wi-Fi standard iterations over the years have been primarily focused on improving maximum data speeds allowed via the technology. That is starting to change as LTE networks take off and the emphasis shifts to real-world performance and the handoff between LTE and Wi-Fi networks. 802.11HEW--the HEW stands for high-efficiency WLAN--is a major part of that effort. Special report.
Cellular technologies and operator services are highly complementary to those for Wi-Fi. This symbiotic relationship will continue and grow. However, with exponential demand in growth for mobile broadband, it is essential that substantial amounts of additional spectrum be made available for cellular.
Alm ost 50 per cent of data traffic generated by mobile phones, tablets and other 3G/LTE connected devices, will be offloaded to Wi-Fi and small cell networks this year, according to a new report from Juniper Research.
Operators' concerns from several years ago that their networks would face crushing constraints due to higher mobile data traffic were overblown, according a new study from Infonetics Research. The firm claims that HSPA+ and LTE have been the primary reasons mobile operators have been able to squeeze increasing amounts of data across limited spectrum.
Mobile subscribers in North America and the Asia-Pacific region will be the drivers of a 13-fold growth rate in global mobile data traffic from 2012- 2017, according to a new report from Cisco Systems.
Alvarion said it reached a deal with a Tier 1 Japanese operator to offload the carrier's 3G data traffic to Alvarion's carrier-grade Wi-Fi base stations in Tokyo. Such a strategy could be employed in the future by additional carriers, including those in the United States.
A shift away from Wi-Fi usage in leading LTE countries could cause some operators to question their plans to install Wi-Fi to offload their cellular networks, accepting that European subscribers might respond differently to LTE availability.
Time Warner Cable is using technology from Israeli-American startup WeFi to give its customers access to more free Wi-Fi hotspots that don't require passwords.
Mobile operators will offload nearly 60 per cent of their data traffic over the next five years as data usage continues to rise, according to a new study from Juniper Research.

Bengara-II Block Seismic Contract Awarded
CGB2 intends to acquire a total of 120 square kilometers of 3D seismic and 844 line kilometers of 2D seismic at an estimated acquisition cost of
A large part of the 2D seismic program is also intended to provide additional definition of other exploration prospects in the Bengara-II Block to firm up new exploration drilling targets for the 2010 drilling program. These prospects include the Galiadap structure underneath the "oil lake" seep in the southern region of the block.
A large part of the seismic acquisition program shall be conducted in the logistically difficult and higher cost "transition zone" between a shallow marine offshore and onshore setting. The eastern portion of the Block is located mostly onshore but partially offshore in the shallow waters of the Sulawesi Sea and the Bulungan River delta.
An advance party has been mobilized to the site to make arrangements for necessary permits and prepare for the arrival of survey, line-cutting, and shot-hole drilling crews. CGB2 hopes to complete the entire acquisition program by end first quarter 2010 and commence appraisal and additional exploratory drilling in 2010.

No major changes have been made to the Acura TL for the 2014 model year. The mid-level Special Edition model that was introduced in mid-2013 remains as a high-value trim option.
There are no major changes to the Acura TL for 2013.
The 2012 Acura TL upgrade is a little show, a little go. Underneath the exterior changes the TL sports a new six-speed automatic transmission that delivers more miles per gallon. The TL is still available in base and Super Handling All-Wheel Drive trim levels, and a new Advance Package has been added to the option list.
The Acura TL sees no major changes for 2011.
In a nod to enthusiast drivers, Acura offers a new six-speed manual transmission on all-wheel-drive models only. Manual models also receive retuned front coils and dampeners, stiffer engine and transmission mounts, unique electric power steering tuning, and heavy-duty front differential, CV joints and driveshafts.
There's more sport in the 2009 Acura TL thanks to an available 305-horsepower V6, a performance-oriented all-wheel-drive system, and an automatic transmission with paddle shifters. A redesigned chassis provides a safer and quieter ride, while new interior features take some of the sting out of long drives.
The 2014 TL is Acura's entry in the mid-size luxury sedan segment, where it competes with vehicles such as the BMW 5 Series, Infiniti M, Audi A6 and Cadillac CTS. Compared to most of its rivals, the TL has a much lower starting price but more polarizing exterior design. Acura enthusiasts have grown to either like the TL's skin or see the beauty beneath it, where lies a strong V6 engine and an available all-wheel-drive system that offers excellent grip. The Acura TL has a strong reliability record and a good dose of performance with its premium ride quality, but with no rear-drive model in the lineup, driving purists my overlook the Acura in favor of a BMW, Infiniti or Cadillac.

"This is my first Acura. I had an Avalon that I had to replace do to a accident. I drove a 2013 Lexus ES 350, a 2012 Avalon and a couple of other. Then I drove a front wheel drive TL and was ready to purchase. My 34 year old son advised me to drive the AWD model before I made the purchase. He said it was fun to drive and his favorite car to drive. I test drove the front wheel drive again and then drove the SH AWD TL. Amazing the difference in the handling and performance between the front wheel drive TL and the SH AWD TL model. I was use to the soft ride of the Avalon so this was a big change with the SH AWD package. I have driven this car for 4,000 miles in rain, heavy traffic and on open curvy roads and really enjoy the handling and power. Road noise on grooved roads can be annoying and the trunk could be a little larger. At first I did not know if I could get use to the very firm ride of the SH AWD package but now I have adjusted to the ride I just love the car. The Advanced package is great with the blind spot indicators in freeway traffic. Control on wet roads is amazing. Gas mileage has been less than expected but now is improving, averaging 25.4 in mixed driving. Great car for the money and it is fun to drive. Best value of all the other vehicles I drove. Glad I purchased the TL. No problems with the vehicle so far and several in my office have had Acura's and all have bragged about the quality and durability of the brand."

"This is my 4th Acura TL, 1st with AWD. Not just any AWD but SH-AWD, otherwise known as Torque Vectoring AWD. Once you experience the driving dynamics of this, coupled with its 305 horsepower, its hard to understand why they haven't sold many, many more of these. Performance is unmatched at this price point. You'd need to spend at least $10,000 more to get anywhere close."

text: Last year's award-winning West End revival of Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof looks like it might at last receive its Broadway shot in late 2003. When the Bill Kenwright production opened in London in autumn 2001 - starring Hollywood's Brendan Fraser, Frances O'Connor and Ned Beatty - it was tipped to cross the pond fairly swiftly (See The Goss, 22 Nov 2001). Belatedly, the transfer is now close to confirmation, though only director Anthony Page and Beatty, who won the 2002 Whatsonstage.com Theatregoers' Choice Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as patriarch Big Daddy, will remain. According to the Daily Mail, screen star Ashley Judd is signed up to replace O'Connor as Maggie the Cat, with Mark Ruffalo in talks to play Brick. Also likely to hit the Great White Way via London in 2003 is the Royal Court premiere production of Caryl Churchill's A Number, featuring its original stars Michael Gambon and Daniel Craig. With claims of the first human clone making international headlines, Churchill's drama about a father and his multiple cloned sons is highly topical. Craig won the Evening Standard Best Actor award and has been nominated for a Whatsonstage.com Theatregoers' Choice Award for his portrayal of the three siblings.

Whether you're an aspiring or experienced artist, this course provides detailed coverage of CorelDRAW, the flagship vector-based illustration and layout application. Author Scott Georgeson, the official creator of video training for CorelDRAW X4, X5, and X6, helps you get up to speed with the basics of vector drawing. Scott demonstrates how to use objects, layers, and pages to organize documents effectively and he discusses working with color, Artistic Text, drawing tools, and special effects. The course also covers how to align and group objects to lay them out more effectively and how to dictate the layering of objects with the Weld, Trim, and Intersect commands.
This course was created by Scott Georgeson. We're honored to host his tutorials in the lynda.com library.
This really is a very short lesson. Basically, I've taken a snapshot of the CorelDRAW interface, as you can see here, and I've drawn some arrows, and placed the varying names or titles that I will use throughout the training around this interface. If you don't know what it is I'm referring to, you've heard an unusual term, and it's referring to the interface, simply come back to Page 2, and have a quick look, and most likely, you'll see what it is I was referring to highlighted here for you.
Okay, we'll now minimize CorelDRAW, and play the next video; video number 3.

San Diego, CA - LaDainian Tomlinson is one of three San Diego Chargers who have been ruled out of Sunday's home opener against the Baltimore Ravens.
The star running back, who sprained his right ankle in Monday night's 24-20 win at Oakland, will miss just the second game of his brilliant career due to injury. The first was in January when a groin injury kept him out of San Diego's playoff loss to the eventual Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers.

Unconventional Oil and Gas Production:
Opportunities and Challenges of Oil Shale Development
GAO-12-740T: Published: May 10, 2012. Publicly Released: May 10, 2012.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:

- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3841
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
In its October 2010 report, GAO noted that oil shale development presents the following opportunities for the United States:
- Increasing domestic oil production. Tapping the vast amounts of oil locked within U.S. oil shale formations could go a long way toward satisfying the nations future oil demands. Oil shale deposits in the Green River Formation are estimated to contain up to 3 trillion barrels of oil, half of which may be recoverable, which is about equal to the entire worlds proven oil reserves.
- Socioeconomic benefits. Development of oil shale resources could lead to the creation of jobs, increases in wealth, and increases in tax and royalty payments to federal and state governments for oil produced on their lands. The extent of these benefits, however, is unknown at this time because the ultimate size of the industry is uncertain.
In addition to these opportunities and the uncertainty of not yet having an economical and environmentally viable commercial scale technology, the following challenges should also be considered:
- Impacts on water, air, and wildlife. Developing oil shale and providing power for oil shale operations and other activities will require large amounts of water and could have significant impacts on the quality and quantity of surface and groundwater resources. In addition, construction and mining activities during development can temporarily degrade air quality in local areas. There can also be long-term regional increases in air pollutants from oil shale processing and the generation of additional electricity to power oil shale development operations. Oil shale operations will also require the clearing of large surface areas of topsoil and vegetation which can affect wildlife habitat, and the withdrawal of large quantities of surface water which could also negatively impact aquatic life.
- Socioeconomic impacts. Oil shale development can bring an influx of workers, who along with their families can put additional stress on local infrastructure such as roads, housing, municipal water systems, and schools. Development from expansion of extractive industries, such as oil shale or oil and gas, has typically followed a boom and bust cycle, making planning for growth difficult for local governments. Moreover, traditional rural uses would be displaced by industrial uses and areas that rely on tourism and natural resources would be negatively impacted.
GAOs 2010 report found that federal research efforts on the impacts of oil shale development did not provide sufficient data for future monitoring and that there was a greater need for collaboration among key federal stakeholders to address water resources and research issues. Specifically, Interior and DOE officials generally have not shared information on their oil shale research efforts, and there was a need for the federal agencies to improve their collaboration and develop more comprehensive baseline information related to water resources in the region. GAO made three recommendations to Interior, which the department generally concurred with and has already begun to take actions to address.
Why GAO Did This Study
Fossil fuels are important to both the global and U.S. economies, and unconventional oil and gas resourcesresources that cannot be produced, transported, or refined using traditional techniquesare expected to play a larger role in helping the United States meet future energy needs. With rising energy prices one such resource that has received renewed domestic attention in recent years is oil shale. Oil shale is a sedimentary rock that contains solid organic material that can be converted into an oil-like product when heated. About 72 percent of this oil shale is located within the Green River Formation in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming and lies beneath federal lands managed by the Department of the Interiors Bureau of Land Management, making the federal government a key player in its potential development. In addition, the Department of Energy (DOE), advances energy technology, including for oil shale, through its various offices, national laboratories, and arrangements with universities.
GAOs testimony is based on its October 2010 report on the impacts of oil shale development (GAO-11-35). This testimony summarizes the opportunities and challenges of oil shale development identified in that report and the status of prior GAO recommendations that Interior take actions to better prepare for the possible future impacts of oil shale development.

To paraphrase this new section, designated 60-6-26, it means a person under the age of twenty-one who receives a citation or is otherwise charged with just about any alcohol related offense except driving under the influence of alcohol will be able to have the charge removed from the individual's record with no fine being assessed. A person entering a guilty plea or one who is found guilty of the charge may ask the presiding magistrate to place him or her on unsupervised probation for a six-month period and, providing the individual commits no further crimes, can after one year request that the charge be dismissed. The effect of the discharge and dismissal is to restore the person "in contemplation of the law to the status he or she occupied prior to the arrest or citation". If the person violates a term or condition of probation, the court may enter an adjudication of guilt and proceed as otherwise provided by law. In simple English, it would appear the intent of the change in the law is to allow young persons a way of clearing their records for military or other job purposes.
This law appears to be logical since for many years a similar law has applied in reference to the charge of possession of less than fifteen grams of marijuana. That code allows magistrates to place an individual on unsupervised probation for six months, assess only court costs and then allow the charge to be stricken from the record after one year from the assessment date. Interestingly, this law also applies to sixteen and seventeen year-olds possessing marijuana. However, those same individuals convicted of possessing any tobacco product face much stiffer penalties. Any person under the age of eighteen years "possessing any cigarette, cigarette paper or any other paper prepared, manufactured or made for the purpose of smoking any tobacco products, or any pipe, snuff, chewing tobacco or tobacco product" faces the following penalties: a $50 fine and $160.25 court costs; and that person is required to serve eight hours of community service. However, the charge stays on your record. The laws of the land obviously can be tricky, controversial and perhaps unfair.
Upon reviewing the new alcohol law, this writer would like to present some observations readers might find of interest. For instance, just what is "non-intoxicating beer'? In a county and state where young people's lives are being destroyed by pills of all sorts and other drugs that apparently can be found easier than a 20-year-old can get a can of "non-intoxicating" beer, it tends to make one wonder.
Since the very beginning of the migration west to the Appalachian Mountains by early settlers of the region, alcohol, particularly moonshine, has played a different but true role in the history of the region. Of course, a prime example of its historical relevance is on Election Day in Pike County, Kentucky, in 1862, when Ellison Hatfield, brother of Devil Anse was stabbed 26 times then shot by Tolbert McCoy and two of his brothers. All were drinking moonshine that unfortunate day. Ellison's death proved to be "the straw that broke the camel's back" as far as the Hatfields were concerned. The leader of the McCoy clan, Randolph McCoy, years after the feud ended, fell into an open fire at his nephews home while he was drunk and later died in 1914 from the burns he suffered.
In those days, it was not unusual for the rugged mountaineers of the region to be seen with a "little brown jug" hanging by a rope around their necks. It allowed them to take a "swig" without removing the rope. Moonshine was also an important cash crop. It was used in the bartering of goods and was even traded for many things, including land.
The 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution brought full prohibition to the United States January 16, 1920. However, despite every hollow in Logan County and most of southern West Virginia, producing the "white lightning", made from the then pure waters of the region and locally grown corn, most readers might be surprised to know that Prohibition began in West Virginia in 1914. Fact is, in 1910, thirty-seven of the state's fifty-five counties were "dry" counties.
Even while the Hatfields and McCoys were still trying to kill each other almost on a daily basis in 1883, this state's House of Delegates voted 49-14 to pass prohibition, but it was narrowly defeated in the Senate, 15-11. In 1888, a prohibition amendment to the state constitution was defeated during the general election by 37,887 votes. Since history reveals the northern half of West Virginia traditionally voted against prohibition and the south for it, it can be derived that there was a great deal of religious support in the "bible belt" of the south. It is interesting to note that women at that time had not achieved the right to vote.
What one must realize is that the United States' oldest federal tax is the tax on alcohol which was brought on almost immediately after the Revolutionary War. The country was trying to pay off the war's debt it owed, mostly to France, and since so many of the old guard produced their own spirits, it appeared to be the best way for the new country to raise the monies needed. Of course, Americans were appalled by this action and rebelled. It helped lead, along with land grants handed out by the government to war veterans, to the expansion into the rugged hills and mountains of Appalachia. The waters of the mountains proved perfect for the making of corn liquor to the independent minded hill people, most of whom were English, Welsh, Scotch or Irish. It would be many years later when imported workers were needed for the many coal mines opening in the region that the Italians and others would bring their tremendous wine making abilities to the area.
From 1920 to 1933, The Logan Banner's microfilm files are filled with stories of killings by both federal "revenuers" and local moonshiners at the local level. Prohibition had caused a dramatic increase in the making of moonshine because the price had increased significantly and the out-of-state demand was high. Appalachian "shine" was considered the best. Of course, it got its name from the fact that most moonshiners did their work at night in the hills, and by the light of the moon. There are untold numbers of federal agents who simply disappeared in and around the hills of Logan County.
Poorly made and even poisonous liquor was being produced in the bigger cities of Chicago, New York, Detroit, etc. while Prohibition was in effect. Numerous gangsters, Al Capone, being just one prime example, were the result of the law. Murders became rampant between various gangs and also with the government. Meanwhile, the "mountain dew" was flowing in Logan County as evidenced during testimony in the murder story of Mamie Thurman in 1932. Coal company executives' private parties and certain private "clubs" were supplied their firewater on a regular basis in good 'ole Logan County. Murder rates in the county increased dramatically, most of them directly related to illegal liquor.
The Banner reported in July of 1932 that there had been over thirty murders in Logan County just in the month of June. Many of those deaths came as a result of wives who killed their husbands. From accounts in the newspapers of the time, women were "tired of him coming home drunk and beating on me."
Prohibition was repealed in 1934, but prohibited the consumption of "intoxicating liquors" "in a saloon or other public place". The price of moonshine went down and so did murders. Beer has been available in privately owned retail stores since that year. Prior to 1990 liquor was sold only in state-owned ABC stores. It seemed every election year in Logan County during the 1960s and parts of the 70s, a liquor store would be broken into and robbed shortly before the election. Of course, it was routine at the time for many election ground workers to supply a half pint or more of cheap liquor to some potential voters. As a young boy, I personally witnessed these transactions at Verdunville precinct on Mud Fork. It was the same throughout most of the county on election eve and day during those times.
In 1937, the state redefined standard beer as "non-intoxicating beer" and that allowed the sale of beer in bars and restaurants. Technically, all beer sold in West Virginia today is legally "non-intoxicating." I'm sure that comes, at least psychologically, as good news to those "hanging out" around the town of Logan's Dollar Store. I can hear the police now: "You're too non-intoxicated, Claude, go home before I have to arrest you."
Prior to 2009, beer sold in West Virginia was between 0.5 percent and not more than 6 percent alcohol by volume. Since the law was changed that year, "non-intoxicating beer" has been between 0.5 percent and 12 percent alcohol. Statistics show there has been no increase in the higher rates of underage drinking or DUIs due to this change. However, statistically speaking, underage drinking has increased, of course, since the legal drinking age was changed to twenty-one in 1986. Since that time, illegal drug use has grown to an all-time dilemma, although there may be no direct correlation.
The legal drinking age was eighteen for beer/wine and twenty-one for liquor until 1972 when it was lowered to eighteen for all alcoholic beverages. It was raised to nineteen in 1983 (twenty-one for non-residents). The argument is often made in regard to the current drinking age of twenty-one; the point always made by some is that "if you're old enough to die for your country, you should be old enough to drink a beer." Since statistics show 10,000 people annually die in alcohol related automobile accidents perhaps, it should more appropriately be argued that "drinking and driving" is the problem.
Laws will come and go and changes always will be made to existing ones, if not eliminated completely. However, the tradition of making homemade whiskey still exists in the Appalachians hills and the 'shine is probably readily available for those who know where to look for it.
Just remember, "the law is the law" — at least for today.

Steam 99S...Boom or Bust?

It's so funny that people who use a dense string pattern say this racquet hits horribly. I have typically used a 16x18 pattern and that's what my game has been grooved on. For me the Steam 99S is an easy and natural fit. My business partner hits a blade and he simply said he was leaving balls short in the court because it doesn't suit his style of play. That doesn't mean it's a horrible racquet. Different strokes for different folks.
This racquet, in the right player's hands, can be a real weapon. It hits an extremely heavy ball and explodes off the court. This racquet will play well for a 3.0-5.0 if you ask me, but for different reasons.
A 3.0 - 4.0 will generate more spin, have nice power, more control and less UE if used correctly. A 5.0 who is used to a Pure Drive type racquet can make this racquet do whatever they want but with more spin and action on the ball.
That's my take on this racquet.
Agreed with couch on his assessment. He's a 5.0 guy. I'm well below his level. This frame can be a weapon in the hands of a player who's style of play and skill utilize it. For guys use to 16x18 and 16x19 patterns, the switch is simply enough. Yep, I send some shots long due to a poor swing, but shot after shot dive a foot in, that appear to be going two feet long. But this frame can hit shots that are not available with my Wilson Pro Opens.
My only issue with the frame is the stiffness, so I will be adding silicone to one of the handles as my attempt to use this frame 12-15 per week continues. Right now, my elbow doesn't like this frame for more than a few sets a day. Playing four to five sets a day with my Pro Opens three days straight is not a problem. Playing four sets a day with the Steam 99S and I feel the pain instantly.
What would be the affect if Wilson made a more arm friendly (64-66 flex) version with a 16x16 pattern? ???
More flexible = more control so maybe a 64 Flex version of a 99S would help. Maybe this is simply the beginning for Wilson and other companies to start experimenting in various patterns (16x15 and maybe 16x16) with more arm friendly flex ranges and standard weight ranges (300, 310, and 315 gram frames). This seems exciting to me that the Steam 99S and 105S may simply be the launch of something much bigger than just two frames. The Steam 99S / 105 S could be the equivalent of the first generation poly strings.
Kudos to Wilson!
This was the first attempt by a company with 15 crosses to my knowledge. Yes, I know about Vortex, but Vortex uses 14 mains and 18 or 19 crosses. This is different, just like gut mains/poly crosses vs poly mains / gut crosses. The latter doesn't generate snap back like that first.
From Strings and Spin: Applying What We Know About Copoly" by Joshua Speckman
Federer's setup actually bears some resemblance to spaghetti strings, as that invention also used natural gut in the mains and a synthetic in the crosses. Many players find the combination of extremely elastic gut mains with stiff, hard and slick copoly crosses to be as, or more, spin-friendly than a full bed of copoly, while also being more comfortable, powerful and giving better feel for the ball.
In string-on-string friction tests, tennis equipment researcher Crawford Lindsey found that gut mains slide with less friction along copoly crosses than any other string or string combination. And he found that - unlike other strings, where notching ramps up friction and disables the snapback mechanism inter-string friction actually gets lower as the notches get deeper.
Why? Lindsey and Cross speculate that natural oils seep out of the gut at the notches and lubricate the string intersections. This suggests that a gut/poly hybrid might retain its spin-generating potential for longer than any other string or combination. Well, at least until the gut breaks.
Surprisingly, the opposite configuration poly mains/gut crosses slides much less easily. Lindsey says the two materials are sticky in reverse perhaps because the surface of the gut crosses quickly abrades, pulling up microscopic fibers that get hung up on the copoly mains as they try to slide.
The reason poly strings initially became popular with professional players was because of their inherent durability. Although modern copolymer strings are softer than "1st generation" polyester strings, they are still stiffer and harder than nylon or gut, and typically take longer to notch and break.

I usually wear pretty loose pants Since I recieved this Alessi IWB holster in this photo a couple of years ago I rarely PC anymore,I can clip this thing IWB AP 3:00 5:00 or anywhere else I want no belt required.http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa212/mfleishman/020.jpg cowboywannabe11-09-2011, 16:34i like the safariland model 25. captcurly11-13-2011, 13:50An Uncle Mike's pocket size 3 works for me. Dogguy11-13-2011, 15:29I've used all the holsters mentioned above except for the Cell Pal and 5.11. I like all of them. But I mostly carry in the Galco horsehide holster if the pocket will accommodate. If the pocket is small I use the Uncle Mike's (I go with the #3). up1911fan11-30-2011, 19:39I like the Safariland 25 and the TUFF Products pocket holsters voiceofreason12-17-2011, 17:15I really like my Kramer Pocket holster. HATED the Mike's #3 pocket holster. J-frames are so light, putting them on a belt holster makes them almost disappear weight wise. Comp-tac CTAC is very, very easy to conceal with the velcro clips. Shirts just tuck in nicely over the gun & holster. ArmedMikeL02-09-2012, 20:58Remora holster clfarr7202-12-2012, 15:13My favorites are my Kramer and my Safariland. Only thing I have a hard time wrapping my head around is that one is the most exspensive and the other is the cheapest holster I have for my 642 and I like them both equally. Whish I would have bought the Safariland first. unit 90003-29-2012, 16:17Mike Meredith at Pocket Concealment Systems makes a variety of pocket holsters. Mine is well made and designed. The part that faces the outside of your pocket is flat, showing no gun outline. http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b222/heysox/DSC_0297.jpg Dalton Wayne03-29-2012, 16:36I love my Done Hume, great price no printing and stays in the pocket when gun drawn http://i647.photobucket.com/albums/uu192/Daltonlwayne/DSCN0034.jpg whitebread03-30-2012, 13:20I use and recommend the Galco pocket horsehide.

I pocket and IWB with my remora - works very well I have a lobo enhanced pancake on order - we shall see rk 4Rules07-24-2012, 21:52A good holster should provide effective primary retention and protect the trigger from inadvertent activation. The horsehide Kramer Pocket Holster (http://www.kramerleather.com/productDetail.cfm?productID=25&categoryID=28) does that. Some other makers rely upon gravity alone to keep the handgun in their pocket holster. Some other makers claim to make pocket holsters that stay in the pocket - and stay in place in the pocket - through the use of materials that do not easily slide within the pocket. Sounds good, right? Well...it don't work. The number one priority is to ensure that the trigger is protected, no matter what, and the Kramer does that. http://www.kramerleather.com/productDetail.cfm?productID=25&categoryID=28 LarryNC09-04-2012, 23:15I have a pocket holster for my 442 and I really love it. I bought it at a gun show in Charlotte, from the fellow who owns Wild Bill's Concealment. Link (http://www.wildbillsconcealment.com/wildbill/shop/) The one I use is: Level 10 Pocket carry Pocket Packer Can be used in either right or left front pocket I've had mine for years and it has never given me the first problem and it has always been comfortable. pjva0409-05-2012, 04:10I stopped pocket carrying some time back. I read somewhere pocket carrying a snub being described as being similar to carrying an orange in your pocket. Well, I can't say that analogy is either accurate or inaccurate as it depends on the size of the pocket, material, size of wearer, size of orange(s) (levity injected here), etc... My main reason for no longer pocket carrying is that I do prefer lighter material clothing and also already carry enough **** in my pockets already....and just ain't the tacticool kinda guy...being that Iam fairly athletic and don't favor the dunlop concealment method I find that for standard day to day carry the Clipdraw works just fine for my 442. If engaging in more active endeavors, I slide it into my cheapo reproduction of the SmartCarry (gonna pony up for a real one here soon, tho)...

I had a 442 J-frame dump out of an Uncle Mike's one time, and clear out of my slacks pocket, getting into a car. That cured me of holsters that don't hang onto the gun. But there may be even better ones than the Kramer. I don't know. NMG2611-27-2013, 20:57I J-frames are so light, putting them on a belt holster makes them almost disappear weight wise. Yup. Here is my J-frame 638 with a shrouded hammer in an oversize(N-frame) holster.

Congress on Friday came down hard on AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal accusing him of "deceiving" people on waiving 50% electricity bills of consumers who did not pay their dues as part of AAP's power agitation.
"As Chief Minister, Kejriwal had promised to waive pending bills of over 24,000 consumers. But yesterday, the government informed the Delhi High Court that AAP government did not make any provision for it," chief spokesperson of Delhi Congress Mukesh Sharma said.
The city government yesterday took a stand contrary to the Cabinet decision of the then Kejriwal dispensation in the High Court saying it cannot waive 50 per cent of the power bills of the defaulters as no provision for it was made.
On February 12, a Cabinet meeting presided by the then Chief Minister Kejriwal had decided that consumers who did not pay their electricity bills as part of AAP's agitation against power tariff hike will have to shell out only half of their total dues.
The legal department of the government had said that such a waiver can only be given prospectively and not retrospectively as per the statute, Electricity Act, 2003.
"Kejriwal had made a number of announcements when he was the Chief Minister. But most of them were misleading and could not be implemented," said Sharma.
The Delhi Congress leader also alleged that Kejriwal refused to furnish a bail bond in a criminal defamation case and preferred to go to jail to get public sympathy.
"He had apprehension that some MLAs may desert the party.
AAP's support base was eroding and that is why he chose to go to jail. The people of Delhi have realised his tactics," Sharma alleged.
The Congress leader said Kejriwal has resorted to "theatrics" as assembly election in Delhi may take place soon.
Kejriwal's jail stay was extended till June 6 today as he remained adamant on not furnishing bail bond in a criminal defamation case against him by BJP leader Nitin Gadkari, with a Delhi court chiding him for "legal illiteracy" and asking him to be "sensible".
The magistrate, however, said Kejriwal was told to give a bond only and it was a legal procedure to furnish bonds for bail.
"You (Kejriwal) have been summoned as an accused. You are not a convict. You will face trial...you cannot say that I am innocent and I will not give bond. This is a procedure," the magistrate said.
On May 21, the court had granted bail to Kejriwal in the defamation complaint saying the offence under Section 500 of the IPC was bailable and had asked him to furnish a personal bond.
He, however, was taken into custody after he refused to give the bail bond, saying the case was politically motivated and he does not wish to seek bail. He had said that he was ready to give an undertaking that he would appear in the court whenever required.
As soon as the proceedings began today, Gadkari's counsel contended that court should follow the set procedure of law and Kejriwal cannot make a political speech in the courtroom.
Kejriwal, however, told the court that initially it had on May 21 said that he would be released on undertaking but later on he was asked to furnish bond.
At this juncture, the court observed that there were lots of "miscommunication and misunderstanding".
"You were told to give a bond only. You were not told to give Rs 10,000 straight away. I had given you bail but you did not file bond," the magistrate said.
"Just because you have been summoned as an accused that does not mean you are a convict," the magistrate said, adding, "bond is just a contract of appearance."
Regarding Kejriwal's submission that he had been earlier released on undertaking by other courts in similar cases, the court said, "they were all courts of metropolitan magistrates which have released you on an undertaking." "I am not bound by these orders. You can challenge my order in higher courts. You have the right to challenge it," the magistrate said.
The magistrate also said that the court had only asked the AAP leader to give a personal bond and not surety bond as it was clear that Kejriwal would not abscond.

An audacious Internet gambling mogul long sought by authorities has been indicted in Baltimore, capping an investigation that spanned nearly a decade and several countries and comes amid a recent crackdown on the popular poker and gambling sites.
Canadian native and Bodog.com founder Calvin Ayre, 50, and three others were charged by a federal grand jury with conducting an illegal sports gambling site and conspiracy to commit money laundering, according to a federal indictment unsealed Tuesday.
Ayre's Bodog brand has became one of the biggest in the world of online sports betting and casino games and propelled him to billionaire status. The indictment alleges that Bodog and its conspirators moved at least $100 million from offshore accounts in Switzerland, England, Malta and Canada to bettors in Maryland and elsewhere, while paying $42 million for advertising to attract U.S. gamblers.
Internal Revenue Service investigators in Maryland have been examining Bodog.com since 2003, according to court documents, with immigration and customs officials joining a formal investigation in 2006.
Bodog.com's site — which the company abandoned last year after other popular gambling domains were shut down in the United States — on Tuesday featured the emblems of the U.S. Department of Justice and Homeland Security Investigations.
"No matter where a corporation is based, they can't run sports betting in Maryland," Rod J. Rosenstein, the U.S. attorney for Maryland, said in an interview. "It's easy for companies to comply with this law by not offering gambling services in places where that service is not legal. The fact that they're located offshore is irrelevant."
But industry and gambling experts say operators of such sites are more likely to shift tactics than shut down. Ayre, for one, contends that online gambling is legal under international law.
Ayre, whose parents were grain and pig farmers in Saskatchewan, appeared on the cover of Forbes magazine's annual ranking of the world's billionaires in 2006 in an article titled "Catch Me If You Can" — a reference to his position in the cross hairs of investigators. He also was featured in People magazine's "hottest bachelor" list.
An outsized personality whose website describes him as an "industry pioneer, megalomaniac and adrenaline junkie," Ayre has been living in exile in recent years. According to news reports, he has taken care not to keep any assets in the U.S. He was not in custody after the indictment.
Ayre released a statement Tuesday through his website denouncing the charges as a media stunt.
"I see this as abuse of the U.S. criminal justice system for the commercial gain of large U.S. corporations," Ayre said in an article posted to calvinayre.com. "It is clear that the online gaming industry is legal under international law and in the case of these documents, is it [sic] also clear that the rule of law was not allowed to slow down a rush to try to win the war of public opinion.
"We will all look at this and discuss the future with our advisers, but it will not stop my many business interests globally that are unrelated to anything in the U.S.," he said.
Though online gambling continues to be a booming, multibillion-dollar industry, transactions related to online gambling are illegal under the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006. Supporters say poker is an American pastime that remains easily accessible for players regardless of such restrictions and should be allowed and regulated in the United States.
Operators of online betting sites and payment processors have previously faced federal charges in Maryland, and Ayre derisively called the charges against him "another notch in the belt" for federal prosecutors here.
Last May, in a crackdown dubbed "Blue Monday" by players, federal authorities based in Maryland shut down 10 poker sites, including Beted.com. In that case, federal investigators set up a phony business called Linwood Payment Solutions and handled $33 million in transactions from Internet gamblers.
That followed the so-called "Black Friday" indictments brought by the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan in April that rocked the online betting world when it shut down the three most popular online poker sites: Fulltiltpoker.com, Truepoker.com and Absolutepoker.com. The owners of those sites are fighting the charges.
The day after the May indictments were unsealed, Bodog.com changed to a European domain name — Bodog.eu — in an apparent attempt to avoid a crackdown by U.S. authorities. Then, in the fall, Bodog.com was handed over to a site called bolvada.lv.
Ayre has said that he retired and transferred the brand to the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group, which is located near Montreal, Forbes.com reported.
Chris Costigan, publisher of Gambling911.com, said charges against Ayre have been expected for some time. "They were always targeting Bodog, it seemed, and most of the industry realized something was going to happen, they just didn't know when," Costigan said in an interview.

iPads replacing restaurant menus
Tablets at the table aren't just a novelty at restaurants embracing technology to ease waiting and ordering
His favorite story, however, was the time a group of customers came in wearing Geek Squad shirts. "I asked them what they thought about the technology, and one of them looked at me with a serious look on her face and said, 'It's not about the technology, it's about the food.' "
Stacked, which averages 3.5 stars on
Yelp.com for the Torrance location, could eventually license the technology to others in the future, but right now it plans to expand in order to recoup the investment. The next one opens in Cerritos this fall. But, Motenko warns, as with all great tech gadgets, mixing the latest technology with restaurants isn't always a sure thing.
"People have come to our restaurant to see what it's all about and to see if it's something they're interested in adapting to their own restaurant. I say don't do it just to have an iPad in the restaurant. If there's a reason the iPad is going to enhance the experience, then it makes sense," Motenko said.
New on the plate
Watch for startups offering technology to improve customers' experiences:
Wait time: Textaurant lets consumers check wait times at area restaurants on their phone or computer. Also enables restaurant to text waiting diners when table is ready. The Massachusetts company hopes to be in its first San Diego restaurants by the end of the year. Several others offer similar services, including ReadyPing.com, DinerConnection.com and QLess.com.
Ordering: MenuPad out of Australia has an iPad-based ordering system for customers and waiters to configure dishes, place orders and get service. Exit41 in Andover, Mass., also offers an iPad-based kiosk for ordering food. St. Louis-based eTab has its own touch-screen tablet that also allows customers to order, get help, split and pay the bill. E la Carte is another with its own tablet.
The bill: TabbedOut, based in Austin, Texas, is a mobile payment system targeting the restaurant industry. Customers pay for dinner at participating restaurants using a mobile app, which allows them to also review the bill, get the receipt emailed and share the experience with friends online. Dallas-based TableTop Media offers a small touch-screen display called Ziosk allowing customers to see specials, order and reorder drinks and pay the bill.
Order ahead: Zingle tackles the waiting period it takes a restaurant to prepare an item. Customers text orders, which are received by the eatery and printed out on a small printer. Several other large restaurant chains, like 5 Guys Burgers and Fries, offer mobile apps that let you order ahead. Companies that provide the technology to restaurants include NetWaiter.com.
Service: TextMyFood.com offers diners a number to text on their mobile phones if a waiter is not in sight. The message pops up on a display in the kitchen.

Yahoo! aggregates the billions of searches performed across Yahoo! properties to give the pulse on what people are thinking and talking about. Searches represent the people, an instant poll every moment of the day, looking into the fleeting moods and entrenched attitudes of Internet users across the world. Each week Yahoo! Web Life Editor Heather Cabot explores these trends on local and national broadcast. This week spring fever is hitting the web with searches from allergies to flip-flops spiking. There is no shortage of celebrity news buzzing and even buzz about unique baby names.
Spring Fever
Spring fever is spreading across the web this week. The warm weather has internet users searching for everything from flip-flops to ice cream trucks to allergy remedies. Seems like the folks suffering most from all of the pollen in the air live in New York, Pennsylvania, Texas and New Jersey. That's where the majority of the searches for allergy symptoms and treatments are coming from. And we are also seeing increasing questions about asthma and natural asthma remedies.
It's not just coughing, sneezing and watery eyes motivating people to look online for relief – they are also seeking answers to other warm weather related health questions like "how to treat sun poisoning" and also asking if pedicures are supposed to be painful. Speaking of toes, it's time to break out the summer shoes. Flip flops are making a big splash on the web this week. The top brands include: Yellow Box, Havianas, Reef, Rainbow and Crocs. Personalization seems to be big as people type into the Yahoo! search engine questions like – "how to decorate flip flops" and "how to make ribbon flip flops."
