The disenchantment of Obama. When Barack Obama launched his presidential campaign, he was hardly a known entity. But with the help of domestic terrorist and one-percenter, Bill Ayers, and a fawning, corrupt media, they provided a victorious path to the White House. He promised to heal the planet and vanquish all strife.
He fell a little short, maybe an entire universe. The world is in absolute upheaval. Iraq is being overtaken by a barbaric Islamic group, ISIS. The conditions in Iraq at the time of American troop withdrawal were stable. The surge under President Bush's command was successful defeating the radical forces. The United States had an obligation to preserve stability in Iraq. Obama felt otherwise and ordered a complete withdrawal.
The recent Supreme Court rulings striking down Obama's recess appointment and protecting the First Amendment and freedom of religion infuriated Obama. Yet he promised the rule of law would be touchstone of his administration. That was the one of the first lies he told the country and he hasn't stopped.
He's blaming Congress for the collapse of the Southern Border where tens of thousands of children are pouring into the country. He's doing absolutely nothing but challenging Congress to 'sue him.' He hasn't been to the border or any refugee center where the people are being housed. These children are riddled with contagious diseases such as lice and scabies. Oklahoma Congressman Jim Bridenstine was denied access to observe the situation. The suspicions of Obama transforming America are quite evident. The results are absolutely frightening.
Instead of securing the border, which is his duty, Obama thinks immigration reform would solve the crisis in Texas. One only has to recall the administration's mishandling of Obamacare and the Tsarnaev brothers. That will cease the immigration reform debate.
The only consolation are his sinking polling numbers. A recent Quinnipiac Poll reported he is the worst president since World War II. He has a 37% job approval and 55% think he is unable to lead. The hard lesson for America on the July 4th Weekend is we can no longer be apathetic and uninformed about our elected officials. Our freedom is too valuable to entrust deceiving elected officials.
Final Thought: God Bless the people of Murrieta, California. It is their country.

I would send it here for something like this, but in no way would I do it myself. Looks good enough, but just think that is better left to the professionals. As far as understanding why somebody would want something like this, lookat the XDm 3.8....LOL
Friends don't let friends be MALL NINJAS.
I am just as nice as anyone lets me be and can be just as mean as anyone makes me. - Quoted from Terryger, New member to our forum.
I love this idea for a variety of reasons, and Glock shouldn't be so stuffy and should provide options OPTIONS.
In the state I live in, a chopped G17 would also be very nice, as I have a 15-round magazine limitation, which precludes me from owning a G17, unless I want to go down to the 10-round magazine version. With that mod, I could essentially have a G17 and use the G19 magazines for it and would gain another 5 rounds with the G17's sight radius, ballistics, etc.
But, even though that would be nice, I would definitely love a chopped G23 for the options it would give me. As others in this thread have stated, owning a gun is a personal thing and carrying one is also. I like the G26, but I would prefer the longer sight radius of the G19 and the improved ballistic speed due to the longer barrel. I am also short and have a body that, although for most, it is easy to conceal the G19, it isn't as much fun for me to conceal and is a lot harder. As for the 26, I do not like that my pinky dangles off of it, but with a finger grip base plate (not a plus one, etc.) I would be happy. And, because of the way I choose to carry, I can certainly carry a G26 better with the flush plate, but I can also carry it more concealable with the base plate that allows me to put all my fingers on the grip, but which also is shorter in the back and with the gun canted, etc. it is more concealable. And, as we spoke of options, I would choose a G23 and get a 9mm conversion barrel for it, an Advantage Arms conversion kit, plenty of base plates with the finger extension, TFO sights, and chop it down. That would allow me to use ALL Glock 9mm and .40 S&W magazines and all the varieties (legal within my state) that I could, and I would have the option of shooting either 9mm or .40 S&W. Heck, I could even pickup a .357 SIG barrel for even more versatility. I could use it as a .40 w/ a finger base plate and carry a Glock 22 magazine for backup, or I could carry it as a 9mm and carry the G19 magazine for backup giving me the best conceal ability while still allowing me to get all my fingers on the grip. And, although I don't have a laser/light combo, etc. the G19/G23 frame would give me more options in that regard.
Would I do this to my first G19 or 23, probably not. I love my G19. But if I found an old beater Glock with slightly less desirable cosmetics (Or if I was truly allowed to express my Second Amendment right in NJ), I would seek out a qualified shop to do the chop, or buy an extra used lower to do it with and keep the original intact. And, if you have the same generation Glock, your modified G19/G23 would have the SAME internal parts as your unmodified G19/G23... Good for SHTF, storing extra springs, etc.
+1 and great idea. Glock should at least sell the modified lowers as aftermarket Accessories. An extra lower would additionally be nice because it would enable me to have a "dedicated" .22LR with the AA kit mounted on it....
Options are good. This is also a benefit of having a plastic gun... it can be modified. So, who has a G23 to sell me? I don't buy Glocks for collector value. They are arguably beautiful working pistols....
Now, if I could just get a modified one with a Walther PPQ trigger and ergonomics... WOW. Oh, and while I am at it... I would like a single stack 9mm that would compare with the awesome, new M&P Shield.
I like that mod but don't have the nerve to do it. I'd mess it up. But anyway you did good on it and it does very much so have a purpose.
I chopped my full-size M&P down to the compact grip.
Before I got my CCDW I open carried and didn't mind hauling around a full size, but once I got the CCDW it was a little harder to carry the full size IWB. At first I started to go buy an M&P compact but after shooting a buddies I was nowhere as proficient with it as I was my full size, not sure why but the shorter sight radius just didn't soot me.
So I went to work on the full size. Overall I am very happy with it and carry it 90% of the time over my recent purchase of an M&P shield which I carry when dressed up.
I also got rid of the beaver tail and did a stipple job, also the back straps can still be changed if I feel the need to do so.
It's all about what fits you and you shoot best.
OP I think you did a great job. The only one that needs to like it is you.
Have Fun and Shoot Straight !!
Man, that is a great mod. You did an excellent job with that. It looks nice as well, without that long grip hanging down.
86slovo: Nice job! I never regretted chopping mine. The first cut is the hardest. After that it is pure love.
If you guys like chop jobs these two were customized by the late great Austin Behlert before the factories started offering compact 1911s and big bore snubby revolvers. The Colt started out as a full size Gov't Model. He cut the slide and barrel down to 4" and cut and rewelded the grip frame (it's about 1/8" shorter than an Officers Model frame) and did a slew of other mods. The revolver is a S&W 25-2 .45acp that had the 6" barrel cut to about 2.75" and the grip frame reduced to k-frame round butt configuration, this one also has a number of other mods but those are the two most obvious.
"If violent crime is to be curbed, it is only the intended victim who can do it. The felon does not fear the police, and he fears neither judge or jury. Therefore what he must be taught to fear is his victim." - LtCol Jeff Cooper
This idea has the squirells in my head running. Dang gonna have to look at my 19 at lunch time. Ive been thinking of trading my 19 for a 26. I carry appendix and smart carry and find that the length of the grip is the only advantage I see 26 having over the 19. I know most think the opposite but in my case printing wise the 26 shines
Funny Im again researching chops. I see I was considering chopping my 19 last year this time. I currently have a 17 that I am debating chopping to 26.

The meet saw Olympic Gold Medalist Dawn Harper and NCAA champion Nicole Leach, along with Olympic Gold Medalist Allyson Felix in action in the relays, while Carol Rodriguez, Carmelita Jeter and Ginny Powell Crawford also took to the track. Three meet records fell during the meet - 1500m, 5000m and triple jump. Bruin alum and 2008 Olympian for Trinidad and Tobago, Rhonda Watkins, won the long jump with a mark of 19-8.
The women will head to the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, CA next weekend as the outdoor season continues.

Support for the Green's enhanced innovation and sustainability policies has come from the business sector.
BusinessNZ chief executive Phill O'Reilly says he strongly supports increased funding for science and technology.
He says innovation and sustainability is needed in every sector of the economy and business favours policies that support these goals if fiscally prudent.
The Greens' policy, costed at $1 billion, includes the funding of an additional 1000 places at tertiary institutions for students studying engineering, maths, computer science and physical sciences.
Mr O'Reilly says the move goes to the heart of business' need for more technically skilled employees.
"Businesses say their top issue is getting enough appropriately skilled staff," he says. "Businesses that are competing through innovation have a critical need for people with technical skills."
The Greens' continued support for direct R&D grants will also be welcomed, he says.
"The value of such grants is that they can be directed toward companies with high growth prospects where their industry is aligned strategically with New Zealand's exporting strengths.
"They can also be timed to be of most strategic value, for example late-stage development where a firm has already invested significantly in the early stages of innovative products."
However, other policies such as firms receiving grants agreeing to the government taking an equity stake could pose risks, Mr O'Reilly says.
Green Party co-leader Dr Russel Norman says innovation lies at the heart of a smart, green economy.
"Economies that innovate do better over the long term, creating good jobs that pay well," he says. "Our economy is on the wrong track. We invest roughly only half what most other developed countries do on research and development."
Science and Innovation Minister Steven Joyce says the Green Party needs to learn what's already happening with innovation.
"The Greens, like Labour, have shown no interest in what's been happening with New Zealand's innovative businesses since Labour left government in 2008.
"That shows in their policy release today which is full of embarrassing 2008-style rhetoric which has long since been overtaken by time," he says. The state's support for R&D in 2015/16 will be 70% higher than in 2008, he adds.

And I mean specifically using eau, not cheating by using mon verre. Would it be Où est mon eau? or Où est mon d'eau?
Would be the correct translation here.
You seem to have trouble with d' here. Let me clarify:
This is the actual way to read it, but you always contract the de if you can. It's the same as My glass of water. In English you wouldn't say Where is my of water, right?

Radio Sales can be an exciting career and can also be very rewarding monetarily when the right attitude and principles are applied.
Radio Sales are the "bread and butter" of a station's revenue. Radio stations sell "air time" in order to play commercial spots. Commercials vary in length, but the majority are aired as :60, :30, :15 and even :05 second spots called "adlets", and :02 second spots called "blinks."
Radio stations can also sell "billboards." These billboards are not the kind you see on the road, but are sponsorships such as traffic reports, weather reports, or studio naming rights that are generally :10 to :15 seconds in length.
Based upon the station you're selling for, there are some things you should keep in mind in relation to the client.
When calling on a client, you must ask yourself if this clients needs would best be served based upon the format of your station, demographics, and other sources of NTR (Non Traditional Revenue) that your station offers.
The station you're selling for has commercials 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There are dayparts or "time slots" that may be more advantageous than others. For example, morning drive, usually between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m., are the most expensive as far as rates go. Next would be afternoon drive, followed by mid-days, then evenings, and finally overnights and weekends.
Depending on your client's budget, it's best to try and spread their message across different day parts. Of course, what works best is to always let your client know that the key is frequency when trying to keep their brand in listeners' heads. Your job as a sales person is the life blood of a station. Without sales a radio or television station would be out of business.
As mentioned earlier, there are also other forms of revenue that can be sold to the client in addition to "air time," such as remote broadcasts from a client's location. You can also offer naming rights, such as "We are broadcasting from the Waltz Business Solutions Studios" and can set up contesting, listener events and giveaways to give added value to advertising packages. All of this will increase the frequency that a listener will hear your client's message.
As with any career, radio sales takes time and determination to build a successful relationship with your clients. Once that is established, the only limitations you have are the ones you set for yourself.

A Hawaiian swell considered to be the biggest in a decade was predicted to hit the shores of Oahu Wednesday and continue throughout the week. Authorities closed famous beaches, especially the island's North Shore. NBC News reports Jan. 23 that weather forecasters warned surfers and beach goers that a dangerous surf could reach up to 50-feet high.
The waves are far too strong and powerful for ocean activities while a big storm and cold front makes its way across the Pacific island pathway. This Hawaii swell, the biggest in a decade has managed to postpone a surfing competition on the island. Up to 40 and 50-foot waves were predicted to form in the surf.
"Nobody has any business in the ocean," Lt. John Hoogsteden said.
The National Weather Service said high winds and cold from the northwest triggered the Hawaii "super swell." Other swells are expected to hit other islands, but not to the extent of Oahu.
Photos showed a local boat harbor under water and one that was too rough to pass through due to the violent waves.
Lifeguards have placed yellow hazard tape around many areas and have warned people to stay off the beaches. The National Weather service has issued a high surf advisory that a "giant breaking surf" and "dangerous currents make it extremely hazardous to approach the shoreline," according to the report.
"Expect to encounter rip currents in or near any surf zone," the advisory warned.
The fact that this Hawaii swell said to be biggest in a decade is happening now will get the attention of many tourists and beach enthusiasts. 50-foot high waves is an impressive site for anyone to see!

The Area being Modelled is :-
Pharmacies and Generic Medications
The User defined his Requirements as follows :-
I work for a non-profit that assists low income people get medications from
the pharmaceutical companies.
I have been working weeks on a database, but keep getting stopped. I know I
have no right to ask, but I am getting pressed for time.
If you could look at what I have done, and help point me in the right
direction, I would very much greatly appreciate it. I will add a link to
your site when I get ours up. The business is barely making its bills right
now, but I am hoping that the database will help streamline the whole
process and help to make some money. If it does, I will gladly send you a
fee, which I am sure will not be what you usually get.
If you do not care to guide me, at lease let me know, I will understand, and
I imagine you get asked all the time.
What we have is the following.
A person comes in with a list of medications they need to take. It can be
from one, up to around 13 to 15, depending on the person.
The same person can have one doctor, or multiple doctors, but usually one
We fill out an application for each medicine (prescription or script).
Regardless if they have multiple medicines from the same company.
We gather the paperwork, send it to the Dr for signature, receive the
paperwork back from the Dr. and send it to the pharmaceutical company.
The problem come in here. After the initial order, the person comes back in
when their medication runs out. Either in 30, 60, or 90 days. Then we do a
re-order for the person.
How do I keep a history of what we have done for the person?
And for each medicine?
I would like to grow the database in the future to include the
pharmaceutical companies and their respective medicines.
I would also like to have the system tell me when a persons medication is
about to run out, so that we can reorder it and the person does not have to
go without medicine, which they have to do now.
We also have to track the following:
The date the person originally came in and joined
The date we originally received a prescription
The date we processed the prescription and did the paper work
The date we sent the paper work to the Dr for signature
The date we received the paper work from the Dr with his signature
The date we send the paper work to the pharmaceutical company
The date the medicine comes in
The date we contact the person that their medicine is in and available to be
picked up.
I have attached some files to maybe help understand the process.
Pals.zip is the one I tried to create using a template from your pharmacies
and prescriptions.
Any help and or guidance would be very greatly appreciated, and help us to
help many other people that would not normally get the medicines they need
to live.
Thanks in advance,
B. The Things of Interest, ('THINGS'), include :-
B.1 Customers
B.2 Drugs and Medications
B.3 Physicians
B.4 Prescriptions
C. These THINGS are Related as follows :-
C.1 A CUSTOMER can have zero, one or many PRESCRIPTIONS.

1 Corinthians 10:31-
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God. Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God, just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, so that they may be saved. Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.
You and I live our lives in a complex cultural setting. I find myself struggling to know what is right, what is wrong and what is best of multiple alternatives in complicated situations.
There are many ethical issues that are clear-cut. Let's assume that we all agree to biblical authority. We know that on those matters in which God has spoken clearly to us through His Word, we are called to clear-cut obedience. There is no room for double-mindedness in the Christian life. We cannot grow as men and women of God if, at one moment, we are handling sacramental elements of the bread and wine in remembrance of Christ's sacrifice on our behalf and then, the next minute, bowing to pagan idol worship before whatever creature is competing for that place in our life that belongs only to Jesus Christ.
We've observed our own schizoid tendencies. We have watched others who have flirted as close as possible to the world, only to become seduced by it, losing their close relationship with the Lord, sometimes in ways so subtle or so blatant. Paul states it clearly, "You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons" (
It's so important for us to know those clear-cut teachings of God's Word. What the Bible says "do," we are called to do. When the Bible says "don't," we better obey and not do. Our attention is drawn to passages such as the Ten Commandments in
However, not all circumstances we face are quite so clear-cut. There are those difficult areas. Tensions exist between Christians who have differences of opinions as to what is responsible and irresponsible behavior. Tensions exist between Christians who have differences of opinion in terms of biblical interpretation regarding matters on which the Bible isn't all that clear. It is possible for one to get caught up in the extremes, missing that dynamic balance which God intends for us to experience. There are those ethical gray areas. I can be tied up in knots as a sincere Christian who desperately desires not to be too narrow or too broad.

Today, April 14, another episode of "Days of Our Lives" aired and it appears as if Gabi has had enough. She had her bags packed and told Will that she and their daughter, Ari, were leaving. Now the question fans have is where are they going? Are they staying in Salem, but just leaving Will and Sonny's apartment or are they moving to another location?
The answer to those questions haven't been answered yet, but this is news that will upset not only Will, but Sonny and Sami as well. They are becoming increasingly concerned about Nick's influence on Gabi, but no matter how many times they try to talk to her about it, she just keeps defending him. So where could Gabi be going?
Gabi probably won't be leaving Salem this week because spoiler reports state that she is going to freak out when Will approaches her about a custody agreement towards the end of the week. However, She Knows reported that actress Camila Banus is leaving "Days of Our Lives." She filmed her last episode on January 17, which means that the last time fans will see her on the show will probably be sometime this month.
Even though the actress who plays Gabi is leaving, that doesn't necessarily mean that the character will be saying farewell. "DOOL" could be casting another actress to play her part, but no information has been revealed yet. Before Camila, the character of Gabi was played by Gabriella Rodriguez, so another recasting is possible.
If Gabi leaves Salem, will Ari go with her? Will and Sami will not let that happen, but could they try to get custody from her? Perhaps Sami will be so desperate to control the situation that she will do something to her? Or will another actress be filling Camila's shoes so the storyline can continue? Fans will have to keep watching "Days of Our Lives" to find out.

Hernia after gallbladder surgery
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
Last year I had surgery to remove my gallbladder. Due to scar tissue from prior surgery they did both a laproscopic and partial open surgery. The open incision is just right of center just below my rib cage.
Not long after surgery I noticed that the area around this incision was distended. My GP said it was fine and the incision healed nicely. Well last week I was back for a head cold and asked if this would ever go away. She told me that I had a hernia, that the incision never closed completely inside so I have a hole in the chest wall.
So it's back to the surgeon. My GP says that it's not a rush because the chance of any organs getting stuck in this opening is small. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem? Also wondering what I might have done wrong during my recovery to cause this to happen?

Hi Tigg Im sorry you have this. Well I had my gallbladder out in Oct 09 and Ive had nothing but problems since. I have a hiatus hernia and gastritis. I didn,t have reflux before then. The pain from the gastritis is horrendous when its flared up. I was also getting oesophagheal spasms. The pain from that was through the roof,morphine and in hospital overnight a few times. Anyway it looks like they can botch the surgery. I hope that you recover alright if you have another op. I can,t see it being anything you did during recovery. The one mistake I made was to stop taking my PPI tablet afterwards. I got acid rebound and all my problems started after that. Did you eat low fat foods during recovery? Some people say to do that for a bit.
|View More Posts Ignore
I had a fantastic recovery. The stomach issues went away immediately and I was back on a normal diet within a few days.
I saw my surgeon yesterday and he says that the problem is the muscles in the chest wall didn't heal together. So I have an opening that is now larger than the one he made. And the longer I wait for repair the larger it will get and harder it will be to repair.
He gave me a few possible reasons why this happened. He says the current theory is that some people just don't produce the collagen that repairs muscle. So healing for them is very difficult. He also says that steroids can be a problem and I have been taking steroids for years for sinus problems. I also get bad allergies with lots of coughing and last summer after surgery was very bad. So my guess is that a combination of these factors is to blame.
Now I have to find out how long I should wait before having surgery. I recently had steroid injections and wonder how long that stays in the system. I was also scheduled to have facet injections for back problems but that will have to wait now.
Are you going to have the hernia repaired? I don't look forward to another surgery but the alternative is even scarier.
|View More Posts Ignore
Hi I don,t know about the hernia as Ive been turned down to have that repaired. Im getting very bad flare ups of pain with my gastritis and some reflux. Im now on two pantoprazoles which don,t seem to be helping it. How are you?
|View More Posts Ignore
I hope this discussion is still open since it's been a year. I had my gall bladder removed in January 2010. Ever since then I've had nothing but problems with my digestion. I burp more, have heartburn (which was non-existent before surgery), and now I'm having a constricting/tightening feeling in my upper stomach. It feels like this: if you can imagine a string of golf balls being pulled through the lower esophagus into the opening of the stomach. Pulling and pulling until one finally pops through. After that feeling of "popping through" it feels better and then starts all over again. Also I feel like I'm digesting glass/sharp objects. It feels like when you eat tortilla chips and the sharp edges poke and poke as it's going down.
Upon looking at photos of what a hiatal hernia is, it seems to describe exactly what and where I'm feeling the pain. Is this what you all are feeling? Any advice will help tremendously!

How to Execute a Successful Survey
We've all been on the receiving end of poorly constructed surveys that require way too much time to complete. This article will help you conduct effective surveys that do not draw this reaction from others.
1Define your purpose. Decide exactly what you want to learn from the survey. For instance, if you run a business, you may want to survey customers about their level of satisfaction with your service or products.
2Keep it short. There is a limit to how much time participants will devote to your survey. Design surveys that people can complete in 5 minutes or less. If you have more questions than that, save some for another survey.
3Keep it simple. Make sure respondents will understand the questions. Don't use jargon and don't make the questions too complex.
4Put demographic questions last. Keep information that is less crucial to your surveys towards the end, as people will apt to lose interest in your survey.
5Keep it specific. Don't ask open-ended questions that will give you a wide range of answers. That will make it difficult to analyze the results. Questions should be either yes or no, or multiple choice.
6Make it consistent. If the first question asks your respondents to rate your customer service on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being highly satisfactory, make sure that in subsequent questions, 5 always corresponds to being highly satisfactory.
7Follow logic. Make sure that one question leads naturally into another. Usually, the first questions will be broader and the follow-up ones will be more specific.
8Do a test. Give the survey to a group of employees or customers. This will tell you how long it takes to complete, and also what, if any, questions they find confusing.
9Avoid weekends.
10Send reminders. If you e-mail the survey, set a deadline to receive the results. A few days before, send a reminder.
11Entice. Give your customers a good reason to answer your survey. Offer them a discount or give them a gift certificate. You're asking them to do you a favor, so show your appreciation.
12Share. Last, but not least, share the results with your customers and let them know what action you will take. If you need more information, do follow-up surveys. But remember, you're asking them to take the time to help you, so be careful not to abuse that relationship.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- The customers play a big part in the surveying process because your goal is to gain research and if you do this then your mission is complete.
- The amount of people you survey is just as important as the content within the survey.
- Start small. For your first customer survey, don't send a 10 page monster. Ask them simply, "how can we improve our service or product?"

My DH has always wanted a dog. He grew up with dogs and feels that a house is not really a home with out one. I already had 2 cats from before we met. I kept putting him off about getting a dog because 1. Our house is not that big and already feels crowded with 2 people and 2 cats living there. 2. He travels 50% of the time and I will have to take care of it on my own. 3. We were moving, then planning a wedding, then TTC, then pg (or whatever other excuse I could find) and I did not want the stress of having a dog at the same time as all of those things.
Well, he caught me in a weak moment this week. What started out as a joking conversation turned into a serious one and now we are going to the Humane Society tomorrow to look at dogs! WTF? OMG! What have I done? Part of me thinks it will be a huge mistake to get a dog right now. We are grieving and our world seems small and I am afraid we will regret it later. (It's not like a dog can replace a baby, which is kind of how it feels to me.) Plus we do plan to TTC again in a few months. BUT the other part of me thinks maybe that is exactly what we need right now... something new to concentrate on and that will (in the long run) bring our family so much happiness. I don't know what to do?

Fi'zi:k Aliante Carbon K:ium Twin Flex SaddleThe Fi'zi:k Aliante Carbon K:ium Twin Flex saddle combines a Kevlar/carbon shell with K:ium alloy rails to rival an all-carbon saddle, without the all-carbon cost. Twin-Flex technology uses dual carbon fiber shells to create a hammock-like feeling, keeping you in perfect position.
- K:ium alloy rails are lighter, brighter, and have a higher strength to weight ration than solid titanium
- Twin-Flex inner and outer carbon fiber shells allow just enough flex to create a hammock-like feeling
- Multi-directional outer-edged carbon fiber reinforces strength, while the bi-directional orientation of the shell's inner carbon and Kevlar woven fibers provide comfort
- Microtex exterior is breathable, washable, and lighter than leather
- Scuff guards protect the saddle sides from wear
- Integrated clip system allows the easy clip-on of compatible light and pack accessories

Much of what is presented about Yoga in our society represents the fitness-oriented media image of this ancient practice. What is less well known to the public is the idea of Yoga as a complementary component of an overall health care regimen. When practiced with a specific therapeutic intention - Yoga Therapy - it can help prevent and aid in the recovery from a variety of mental and physical ailments.
