London Finally Figures out the Food Thing
Move over, meat pies, and forget the fish and chips. There's something better cooking across the pond these days.
True, England has never been called the culinary capital of the world, as travelers have long endured too many bouts with charred plum pudding and lumpy shepherd's pie; however, times they are a-changing.
It seems London has finally figured out that fabulous food and fine wine are the hallmarks of any hip, international city.
And if London is anything — besides expensive — it is extraordinarily hip.
With theater to beat Broadway in London's West End, to Piccadilly Circus fun, from clubs to pubs, opera and ballet, we were ready to do the town.
Annual Girlfriend Getaway
So five of my friends and I decided to make Great Britain our grand destination for this year's annual girlfriend getaway.
Last year it was the Rancho de San Juan resort outside Santa Fe; this time it would be the Capital Hotel in London. Next year we may have to do cheap rooms and bad buffets in Vegas, but this time we were going to do it right — and we were determined to eat well, too.
We'd heard about an elegant little boutique hotel just steps from Harrods department store with a restaurant boasting two Michelin Stars — the equivalent of five stars or diamonds in the U.S.
The Capital Hotel is a privately-owned, 49-room hotel which was named "Best Hotel for Food" in the UK by Condé Nast Traveler's 2006 Gold List, so we knew the food would be superb.
We'd also been told that hotel owner David Levin has a vineyard in France and that his award-winning wines are not to be missed.
Our plan for the week was simple: eat, drink, be merry … and shop.
Our itinerary included heading straight to Harrods, decadent spa treatments, visits to design studios on Pimlico Road, window-shopping along Sloane Street (think Rodeo Drive), and checking out the Princess Diana exhibit at Kensington Palace.
But all of that would be just a backdrop for what we really like to do best — eat.
The Late, Great Luxury Airline
Our eat-our-way-through London trip began even before we left the states in the lobby of the now-defunct Silverjet airlines in the Newark airport. Silverjet suspended operations in May 2008 and went out of business.
Silverjet was an airline that just served London and only had one all-business-class flight a day. Theirs was an oh-so-civilized approach to international travel, treating all passengers as though they were guests at an exclusive club.
On arriving in the Silverjet area, we were met by a well-dressed maitre d' asking about our reservations and taking our passports, and I thought I had entered a fine New York restaurant.
Then we were escorted to one of many plush sofas with tiny coffee tables in a beautiful silver and blue lounge where champagne, orange juice, sodas, gourmet cookies, cucumber sandwiches and more were served — along with offerings from a full bar.
Waitresses refilled our glasses before we could blink, and we ate our way through the next hour or two as we waited for our friends to arrive one by one.
Then we were escorted through a private security entrance, just for our flight, onto a luxurious new aircraft where handsome British lads in blue and white stripped button-down shirts attended to our every need and fed us well on china plates.
Then we rested in the plane's 6' 3" seat-beds until we arrived at London's Luton airport in the morning.
Foody Heaven
Once in London, we wasted no time having big plates of smoked salmon and capers with our croissants and hot tea, and while some of us wanted to nap, most of us were ready to hit Harrods — perhaps the world's largest and most famous department store — owned by the father of Dodi Fayed, Princess Diana's lover.
Harrods is best known for its glorious food courts — you'll think you've died and gone to a heaven made entirely of food. Harrods boasts the most beautiful edible displays imaginable — a bacchanal playground for foodies like us.
My favorite hall is Harold's Confectionary, with its candies, cakes, cookies and pastries — a place here marzipan fruits rival real ones in a street market.
There is the Maison de Chocolate with whole rooms that are shrines to cocoa. There are wedding cakes on display the size of small cars.
Then there are fish markets, sushi bars, meat markets, carriages carved in butter, gigantic vegetables in a rainbow of colors, fruits that Carmen Miranda would wear. Food. Glorious food!I kept making covert midday runs back and forth from the hotel to get some more of the white chocolate maple "Nipples of Venus" candies I'd discovered on my last trip to London. I'd sneak little bags of them back to my room each afternoon to nibble on when I'd take my tea. It was an addiction, and I was ashamed — so I told no one.
At Harrods they have several stories of departments — from designer handbags to elegant stationeries — but I saw little of that. I was mesmerized by the food halls.
Still, my girlfriends managed to drag me up to the top floor where we spent a morning having facials and massages in the Urban Retreat, which is Harrods' spa. We felt were worth it — at least once a year.
Local Ingredients
After that, we had lunch in the spa restaurant, which served fresh and healthful foods — pear salads and quiche and such. However our favorite lunch was at a nearby eatery called Tom's Kitchen on Cale Street in South Kensington.
Tom's Kitchen is the kind of place where you wish you could lunch every day. There's something so fresh and clean and white about it — so starkly elegant.
Although it is located in a regular storefront, it feels as though you're eating in some fabulous, white-tile and marble kitchen tucked under the stairs of a dining room in a huge English country manor or hidden in the back of a palace near the servant's quarters.
The food is all locally grown, fresh and not frou frou. Owner Tom Aikens has a haute cuisine restaurant in Chelsea, but Tom's Kitchen is his baby — a simple, Old World brasserie serving up plate after plate of hearty, healthful fare.
Sleek, Modern and a Tad Retro
But we couldn't eat all the time, so we headed to nearby Pimlico Road, at the edge of the famous Belgravia neighborhood, to see what the hottest designers are doing these days in the way of furnishings and interiors.
First we visited the young, dapper South African-trained designer Justin Van Breda and gushed over his glassware, lamps and custom-made furniture. Then we had coffee on the balcony of designers Lulu Lytle and Christopher Hodsoll's Sloane studio before visiting the shop of designer David Linley who is a nephew of the Queen.
Everything we saw looked very sleek, modern and, yet, a tad 1960s retro. We loved it all. But then we got sidetracked by the food — again.
We came upon the most beautiful bakery and café that I've ever seen — Daylesford Organic. Boasting 4,500 square feet and three stories, the bakery's countertops, walls and floors of white Carrara marble certainly provided the "wow" factor.
Using a traditional country stone oven, master bakers bake bread, filling the room with an aroma that draws you in. Fresh fruits and vegetables that would put Central Market to shame are laid out on marble slabs. The food gallery is hedged with fresh organic herb gardens and topiary.
Walking it Off
Thank goodness we walked everywhere or we would have each gained 50 pounds. We walked to Buckingham Palace, St. James Park, The River Thames and beyond.
One rainy afternoon stroll took us to Kensington Palace, where Princess Diana lived, to see an extraordinary exhibit, "Diana: A Princess Remembered," featuring not only the largest collection of photographs and film of the Princess to date, but also a collection of her dresses.
Touring the castle and gardens was also a treat — as was our evening at the Royal Opera House for a ballet that night.
One final delight before we left London was a special pairing of wine and fine food in the private dining room of the Capital Hotel Restaurant.
Head Chef Eric Chavot, with his expertise in continental cuisine and great attention to elegant presentation, chose simple but scrumptious dishes to complement the hotel's private collections from the Levin Winery' in the Loire Valley of France: Levin Sauvignon Blanc, Levin Rose and Levin Gamay.
We began our meal with roasted scallops sauce vierge, and went on to enjoy a plate of foie gras and passion fruit, pavé of sole with cassoulet Toulousain and truffle jus, and a main course of honey roasted fillet of duck and macaroni gratin.
A beautiful plate of assorted French cheeses preceded our dessert — which can only be described as chocolate perfection.
Then, full and happy, we waddled to the "lift" and retired to our luxury hotel rooms.
There on my pillow was a little last surprise.
It seems that Clive, the Capital concierge who rivals "Ask Jeeves" in knowing the answer to any question I'd ask, must have seen me sneak in with chocolates and made note of my secret addiction.
For there on my pillow lay a little cellophane Harrods bag tied with a bow, and inside were my candies. Sweet dreams, indeed.
London never tasted so good.

Fun while it lasted, though.

I happen to catch this over at Right Wing Watch, which I follow on Facebook; and I hate to admit it, but these guys hit the nail on the head.
Here is the part that I wanted to zero in on: (You can listen to the entire podcast by clicking here. I wanted to present the entire podcast, but I couldn't hotlink it with my Podcast plugin.)
I really hated to use Right Wing Watch's video, but it was all I could get.
Now, the money quote is here and I will high the part that I have said all along, about Sarah Palin and her ilk. It is not just her, however; it is people like Michelle Malkin and others. (Not Ann Coulter, she is not a Feminist at all…)
Swanson: Now remember, the goal is that these women have to be independent. The goal is lots and lots of birth control. The goal is lots and lots and lots of fornication. The goal is abortion. The day-after pill will help. And it will help a lot. Remember, the goal is to get that girl a job because she needs no stinkin' husband, she's got the fascist corporation and government-mandated insurance programs and socialist welfare that will take care of her womb to tomb. Who needs a cotton-pickin' husband? Who needs a family? That's pretty much the worldview that's dominating, my friends. That's what the college is all about.
Buehner: Because her feminist professors have told her her husband will abuse her, she will be like a slave to him. Instead she will just go to the slave market and sell herself, at least sell her body, to the highest bidder. See, that's much, much better!
Swanson: And Dave, you talk about the two kinds of feminists now, this is your new division, you say there's two kinds of feminists.
Buehner: There are.
Swanson: All of them want to be free from the family. They want to be free from the husband. Who needs a stinkin' husband? Who wants to be submitting to a husband and find security in the family when she can find security in the state or a sugar daddy for the four years that she needs to get through college?
Buehner: Right. Actually, you're talking about perhaps even a third stream of feminism. There's the Sarah Palin kind of feminism that wants to have a husband, just not one to submit to. And she still wants to..
Swanson: But talk about the two forms of feminism you see that are rising today.
Buehner: Right, there are two forms of feminism, and it actually has to do with a division of how attractive a woman is. So, you have the group that is very attractive, they're in the sororities, they're gonna be in the beauty contests. They're actually going to get the good jobs. They're going to leverage their attractiveness in the marketplace because it has a market value. Marketing. It helps market who you are. They're going to proceed, now they will probably some of them become the Sarah Palin-style feminists, they'll get themselves a husband, but they'll never be dependent on the husband, they'll never submit to the husband, in fact they will use their power probably to make their husband submit to them.
Swanson: Okay, so you have the cute feminists.
Buehner: Right, you have the good-looking ones.
Swanson: Well, who are the others?
Buehner: Well, the other ones are those who we should say are, um, attractive-deficient. And they have not been…
Swanson: That's nicely put. Attractively challenged.
Buehner: Attractively challenged. Optically challenged. These are the kinds that will look for careers mostly likely in academia.
Swanson: Now, just to say, they're ugly. They're the feminazis that Rush Limbaugh likes to refer to.
Buehner: Right, right, and they're generally very angry about it because their attractive…or their lack of attractiveness has not given them access to power that they wanted in the marketplace. So they can get jobs…
Swanson: And they're certainly not going to get a lot of power sexually.
Buehner: No, but they can get jobs in the government bureaucracy, they can work as an FDA administrator, or you can actually run the EPA if you want, or academia. Academia's actually the best place because you can be angry, ugly and you can also get tenure. It's great, it's the big trifecta.
Swanson: You're gonna make some people mad about what you've just said. There will be some very angry feminists.
Buehner: You mean there will be angrier angry feminists.
Swanson: Angrier angry feminists are gonna come at you for what you just said, and probably from our listening audience, because if we tick anybody off we're ticking two different folks off, the feminists and the homosexuals, they can't stand this kind of stuff.
Buehner: Neither one of them have a high regard for the family or for the Word of God.
Swanson: That's true, yeah, you're right, you're right, you're right. And they're the ones who are destroying society.
Buehner: The systems we are living in are coming down before our very eyes, the fiat currency won't last, the corporate economies, they're going to collapse. What's going to last will be those who go back to a biblical worldview. I believe history will go back to this period of time and will look at feminism and say there was a time in which women lost the love of their children. They no longer cared about having children, they no longer loved their children, they no longer loved their husbands, where for all of history women very much cared about protecting the family. Now they only cared about themselves. They were riled up into a froth about how they were victims of society, patriarchal society, and they decided to become selfish, narcissistic, family-destroying whores.
Now, I quoted all of that, because I wanted to make a point. These guys are absolutely correct and it is something that I have know for a very long time. Feminism is not a Liberal problem, it is now a Conservative problem. The Bible clearly states that a Woman is to submit to her husband, in more than one place. What has happened is that Feminism has crept into the Conservative and yes, Republican circles. Sarah Palin in a perfect example of that sort of so-called "Conservative Feminism."
Here are the Bible verses that back that up:
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. — (Ephesians 5:22-23 KJV)
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
(Colossians 3:18 KJV)
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. (1 Timothy 2:12-15 KJV)
The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. — (1 Corinthians 7:4 KJV)
This is not anything new, this is the Word of God; and the doctrines in it have not changed at all, nor will they ever. The World might change, Politics might change, Republican Party might change and the Conservative movement might change —- but the Word of God, it never changes and it never conforms to us and our vain doctrines. We, if anything, should conform to it.

Years ago, Arthur Carter — publisher of The New York Observer, and, at the time, The Nation, for which I was then an intern — asked me what I was. "An employee?" I asked, confounded by the great man's question. "No, no," he said. "What are you?" "Um, a journalist?" Carter's stare could not have been more withering. He leaned over his desk, which he slapped with his palm. "You come to talk to Arthur Carter, and you don't even know what you are? What-the-fuck-are-you?" Lightbulb: "You mean, ethnically?" "Yes!" Carter roared. "Oh," I said. "my mother was Irish and my dad's Russian Jewish." Carter grinned. "Good," he pronounced. "There's a terrific market in journalism for half-Jews."
I offer this little Yom Kippur tale by way of introduction to Laurel Snyder, who is JewishyIrishy . A poet and altcountry journalist born-again as director of the University of Iowa's Hillel House, Snyder offers up a sermon on finding her religion at The Revealer's Mr.-Hyde-alter-ego, Killing the Buddha. Beat your chest half-Jew style. (Word to the pious: Snyder's essay contains some cussin'.)

Future Vegeta
this wiki
Directory: Characters → Saiyans → Z Fighters → Alternate Timeline
Future Vegeta is the alternate timeline counterpart of Vegeta who appeared in the alternate timeline in which Future Trunks and Future Gohan lived. This Vegeta appears in the brief opening scene of Dragon Ball Z: The History of Trunks and in a flashback during an episode of Dragon Ball Z. Future Vegeta was the lover of Future Bulma, and the father of Future Trunks.
Future Vegeta's life was exactly the same as his main timeline counterpart's life until August of Age 764 when Future Goku used the Instant Transmission to arrive on Earth and kill Future Frieza and Future King Cold. Sometime afterward, Vegeta trained and became a Super Saiyan.
In Age 766, Future Goku had been stricken down by a deadly Heart Virus that had no cure. Future Vegeta, along with the other Z Fighters and company await the news of Future Goku's health. However, Future Goku passes away, leaving Future Vegeta shocked about Future Goku's death and finds himself very upset due to the fact that he will never get his chance to defeat his rival in battle.
Six months later on May 12th, Age 767, the Androids attack and Future Vegeta is the second Z Fighter to be killed by them. In the TV special, Vegeta is shown receiving a hard kick to the stomach by Future Android 17, and in the episode "Ghosts from Tomorrow" it is shown during a flashback that he dies after being struck by 17's Photon Flash while stuck in the ground after receiving a brutal attack. In both instances, he retains his Super Saiyan power and abilities.
Future Vegeta was 35 years old when he was killed by the Androids.
Forms and transformations

IMF Completes First Program Review and Financing Assurances Review Under Honduras' PRGF Arrangement
The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) today completed the first review of Honduras' performance and the financing assurances review under a SDR 71.2 million (about US$104.3 million) three-year Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF) arrangement approved in principle on February 18, 2004 (see Press Release 04/29) and effective since February 27, 2004. The completion of this review allows Honduras to draw a further SDR 10.17 million (about US$14.9 million), bringing the total amount released under the arrangement to SDR 20.34 million (about US$29.8 million). In completing the review, the Board waived the nonobservance of the performance criteria related to the approval of a package of financial sector laws before June 30.
Following the Executive Board discussion on Honduras, Agustín Carstens, Deputy Managing Director and Acting Chair, said:
"Honduras's performance under the PRGF arrangement has been strong. The economic recovery is gathering pace; the external position has strengthened, notwithstanding the impact of high oil prices; and anti-poverty spending has begun to rise. These favorable early results under difficult circumstances testify to the authorities' resolve in implementing their program and augur well for the economic outlook. It is now critical to build on these achievements to consolidate the hard-won stabilization and reform gains.
"The government's commitment to social consensus has played an important role in maintaining domestic support for the program—which has remained strong across a wide spectrum of society. Congressional support for reform has been a key and welcome element in the success of the program to date.
"Continued implementation of sound fiscal policies will be essential to sustaining the success of the program. In particular, this will require enactment of a 2005 budget that is in line with the program, followed by steadfast implementation of the budget in the course of the year. The support of congress in refraining from any unfinanced appropriations will play a vital role in this regard.
"Adherence to the revised teachers' wage agreement reached in July 2004 will be essential to the success of the program, and the development of a permanent teachers' wage policy is key to medium-term fiscal sustainability. Moreover, wage policy in other parts of the public sector will also need to remain consistent with the program.
"The central bank has sent a clear signal of its determination to preserve the important gains made in reducing inflation in recent years. Its plans for modernizing monetary operations are welcome, in particular, by strengthening monetary instruments and improving interest rate signaling. Successful implementation of these reforms will allow a progressive strengthening of the monetary policy framework.
"The four financial sector laws recently approved by congress are a significant milestone in addressing the weaknesses of the banking system. It is important that the new framework be implemented fully, as planned. Progress in financial sector reform is one of the trigger conditions for achieving the completion point under the enhanced HIPC Initiative—which Honduras aims to reach in early 2005.
"Other institutional reforms are also moving ahead. The important political and judicial reforms under way will contribute to reducing perceptions of corruption and improving the investment climate.
"Overall, Honduras's satisfactory performance under the PRGF arrangement is commendable. Continued implementation of the authorities' program should lay a strong foundation for durable growth and poverty reduction," Mr. Carstens said.

President Obama has finally evolved into supporting marriage equality. He feels that same-sex couples should have the right to get married. Coincidentally, this month marks the eighth anniversary of Massachusetts legalizing same-sex marriages, the first state to do so. Other states have since followed suit, including here in Washington state.
Nevertheless, opponents of marriage equality are attempting to put the recently passed law up to a ballot vote via Referendum 74 and deny same-sex couples the love and commitment recognition of marriage.
Massachusetts has experienced no detrimental effects of marriage equality. There is no evidence of heterosexual marriages or children harmed. No church, nor any minister have been forced to conduct same-sex marriage ceremonies against their wishes. No one has been jailed for speaking against marriage equality. Life goes on. I was in the Boston area recently and people still strolled the Boston Commons and kids were still eagerly waiting for their swan boat rides. Fenway Park still attracted rabid Red Sox fans.
I hope Washington state voters will scrutinize the opponents of marriage equality's claims and take a look at Massachusetts, as well as other states that have legalized same-sex marriages, and vote to keep our marriage equality law.
Approve Referendum 74 to uphold the recently passed law.
Reuben Chong

IOWA CITY, Iowa - As the clock was winding down on Iowa's 45-24 homecoming triumph over Indiana, Pat Harty, sports columnist for the Iowa City Press Citizen, asked me if Marvin McNutt might be the Hawkeyes' best all-time wide receiver. It was a good and timely question.
McNutt had just polished off a monster game. Going in, he needed one touchdown reception to establish a school record. By halftime, he had three.
In his most optimistic dreams, McNutt could not have imagined how easy the record-breaker would be. Running free at midfield, with no Indiana defender in his zip code, he cradled a pass from James Vandenberg and simply ran straight to the end zone.
The play covered 80 yards, and most of the time, on the TV replay screen, McNutt was the only player in the picture. (Hint to Hoosiers: You might want to cover this guy. He's pretty good.)
McNutt hauled in two more TD passes, both in the end zone. The first was a picture-perfect over-the-shoulder catch. On the second, he leaped high and snatched the ball from a helpless defender. He now has an Iowa record 24 career TD pass receptions, and with five regular-season contests (and hopefully a bowl game) remaining, he will likely add to that number.
So back to Pat Harty's question: Is McNutt the best wideout in Hawkeye history? Without giving it a lot of thought, I gave a spontaneous affirmative answer. He's got the size, speed, hands and moxie, and now he has the Iowa career touchdown record. And he seems to be getting better and better.
Learning the wide receiver position has been an adventuresome transition for McNutt, who was recruited out of St. Louis as a quarterback and remained at that position for the better part of two seasons. When Ricky Stanzi established himself at quarterback in 2008, Coach Kirk Ferentz, who has a knack of getting players in the right positions, nudged McNutt to wide receiver. The rest, as they say, is history.
Speaking of history, Iowa has had a lot of exceptional wideouts since Hayden Fry came along in 1979 with his pro-style offense. Which made me wonder, was I too quick to judge McNutt as the best?
If Tim Dwight wasn't the best, he was surely the most exciting. Quinn Early, Danan Hughes and Maurice Brown were outstanding receivers, and all played for Big Ten championship teams. And there is Derrell Johnson-Koulianos, who wrapped up his career a year ago holding school records for most receptions and yards.
Still, the first wide receiver I would pick on my all-time Iowa team would be Marvin McNutt. Not sure who my second choice would be. We'll leave that for another day.
Now that McNutt owns the Iowa career record for TD catches, he can zero in on the season mark, which is 11, held by Brown. McNutt has been consistent, with eight TD receptions this season and eight in each of the past two.

Apple Is Losing a Huge Market
Mike Schuster
The longer Apple waits to revolutionize TV, the bigger and stronger its competitors become.
Analysts and consumers alike consider 2013 to be a middling year for
(NASDAQ:AAPL), at best.
iOS 7 and iPad Pros were both celebrated additions to its roster, and the newly designed Mac Pro harkens back to when Cupertino could still wow us just with a sleek design. But whereas the iPhone 5S and 5C garnered ho-hum reactions from those looking for revolutionary updates to the company's smartphone line, anyone hoping 2013 would be the year that Apple finally saved TV was woefully disappointed. In fact, analyst John Siracusa slapped the company's current TV offerings with an
F grade
"[It's] a hard problem and a tough market," Siracusa writes. "But it's time for action."
As it stands, the Apple TV set-top box is the company's only official, yet lacking, solution in a burgeoning home-entertainment market. (If you're willing to shell out the cash, a Mac Mini, an external drive, and a copy of Plex or XBMC is still your best unofficial bet from Apple.) Still considered a "hobby" to Apple since the first-generation model debuted seven years ago, the set-top box falls short of delivering the "wow factor" inherent in the company's other product lines. And with the mythical Apple HDTV set still bearing the mark of vaporware, Cupertino continues to fall behind its competitors as their sets, boxes, and dongles gain traction in a growing market.
Case in point: This week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Roku announced it will be introducing six new Roku TV sets -- ranging from 32 to 55 inches -- pre-installed with its Roku software found on its set-top boxes. The TV sets will allow users to stream
(NASDAQ:GOOG), and Hulu Plus (among 1,200 other apps) without the need for extra hardware. Although similar functionality already exists in the smart-TV market, Wired's Roberto Baldwin
the Roku line to be "the first smart TV worth using" due to an established UI and regular software updates handled directly from Roku.
It's an announcement many analysts expected Apple would be making in recent years. And yet the company still hasn't debuted a fully contained set for the masses. Whether its due to a higher cost, the longer upgrade cycle for HDTVs, prolonged negotiations with media companies, or a combination of those and other issues, Apple is maintaining radio silence. All we have to go on is Steve Jobs' assertion that he had "cracked the code" to TV.
But years keep passing and we have yet to see that code-breaking product from Apple. And while Apple bides its time, Roku TVs, Chromecasts, and dozens of other media centers steal the spotlight, advance their features, and pull further ahead. (See:
Google's Chromecast: My Favorite Gadget of 2013
Apple can't afford to wait any longer. As Siracusa wrote, it's time for action.

I've noticed that book of glyph mastery's price has been plummeting for quite some time, down all the way from 200 gold at the release of wrath to 16 gold on my server. What does this mean? It means that now is the perfect time to get an inscriptionist if you haven't already and pick up the vast majority of glyphs relatively quickly at max level. I can still pull in an easy 1,000 gold from glyphs per day with my scribe, vellums, runescrolls, and off hands without posting more than once. If you babysit I'm sure you can pull in 3,000 or more.
What have book of glyph mastery prices been like on your server? I contribute the gradual drop in price to the looking for dungeon tool, as well as the lack of demand for the items by serious scribes who have been around for more than three months at max level.

Markco the best thing you ever did was post "for dummies" step by step how to auctioneer.
Please do the same thing with inscriptionist addons...Kev QuickAuction...etc...
I do not know how to use an auto create / auto post inscription addon.
I assume Kevtool looks at what you can make,,what the prices are on the auction house and then another addon creates those glyphs and post them.
I do not know how to do it because I am stupid. And I am lazy and I need baby steps to learn.
I need a "for dummies"
1) scan auction house
2) see what's in your inventory
3) see what glyphs you can make
4) auto post the glphys.
P.S. We need a new Call to Auction podcast asap please

I noticed this happen on a few servers that I am on. At the current moment, I am up to between 60-300 books per server that I play on. I buy them up for around 8-15g each. And if I see someone posting in bulk, I add them to friends to see if they pop on while I'm farming my Lichbloom, if by the time I am done they have not, I send them an e-mail explaining that I would buy all of them for 10%-15% discount of their asking price. Many times this works and has me in much anticipation of Cataclysm.
Another item that I have seen fall in price recently are many of the Outland herbs. I've been buying up some of these to save time from farming these myself.
Side question - With Cataclysm's upcoming release there is supposed to be a facelift happening to all professions and how skill ups are granted. Have they announced when they plan to unveil more specifically how these systems will work. Or do you have a guestimation when they might release more details?
Side Question 2 - Since Blackrock Mountain explodes in the Cataclysm, any word if BRD, LBRS, UBRS, BWL, and/or MC are being removed/effected? As an enchanter who makes plenty of gold off the +29sp and +30sp to weapon for BoAs, if they change things, it would be a huge boost to profits and I am just curious.

I am currently trying to get all the receipies for my scribe. I'm about 40 short over all and buy these books when the price is right. I'm on a pretty small server, only 14k Alliance side. The prices can very wildly, i've seen them as low as 10g up to 80g. They seem to be an average of 35-40g though.
Sajaglol said... April 20, 2010 at 9:04 AM
I personally have stocked about 150 of these for Cataclysm, as I was finding these on AH for 10-15 gold I did not believe it to be a bad investment.
Of course I did not buy all of them I did win a neat pile of these from the random dungeons.

16g is about right on my server as well. Still plenty of room for gain from the folks who list with 2g bids and let me win them. :)
cmccarter said... April 20, 2010 at 11:05 AM
They have dropped as well on all three of my servers. Since I am leveling up a new druid healer, I may be able to take advantage of this to get him to full potential faster and cheaper.

You guys might want to rethink your stockpiling strategy. Blizzard has a history of making recipies from previous expansions much easier to get. Rare boss drop enchant recipies from vanilla and BC seem to drop every time now if you have the skill to use it. I highly doubt that cataclysm era scribes will have to worry about farming glyph books from northrend.
Asmrioth said... April 20, 2010 at 1:21 PM
I learned all 57 book recipes in a week because of the prices. That being said, only about half turn a profit (>4g per).
@rachaels_dad: KTQ will queue the items for you if you set a threshold. You also need Sparky's Workshop. Posting helps with QA3.
1) scan the AH with /auc getall
2) open sparkys so the prices get updated (you see the progress bar)
3) type /ktq set threshold 6g
4) type /ktq queue 5 glyphs
5) reopen sparkys to see the queue
6) get the mats you need from the shopping list
7) click process for each type of glyph. 21 glyph types = 21 clicks of process. There is no way to automate this step.
8) type /qa config
9) create a new group for your glyphs and set the options you want. 5g threshold, 30g fallback are decent enough.
10) add all your glyphs to the list
11) post!
Seeing as how Cataclysm is removing skills and adding new ones, I expect Inscription to be massively overhauled. Hoarding anything right now, 6 months from the expansion makes no sense as you could just profit from it now!

Liam said... April 20, 2010 at 1:56 PM
I am slighty aprehensive about buying these. Knowing blizz they wont leave these books for people to farm in cataclysm.
I think that they are going to either make a cataclyms equivalent which also includes the glyphs found in northrend books, or they are going to make the glyphs learnt from book of glyph mastery into trainable glyphs.
However this is purely speculation and still a great idea with the current knowledge we have.
Markco said... April 20, 2010 at 5:52 PM
Rachaels_dad I will definitely consider posting some more guides similar to 22 steps to using auctioneer because that page still remains my most popular article.
To those who believe step by step guides always ruin markets... how special do you think your methods really are? Do you honestly believe there are many scribes who do not use addons?
Keep in mind my style of writing... I tend to leave plenty of room for creativity by not spoon feeding 100%. You have your points though, it is true that simply following guides is the way to lose money.

@First anonymous
One of the things I've readed somewhere was that one crafted item might grant 5(or any other number) skillups. That way professions would be faster and easier to level. I'm not sure though, but if it would happen it would make powerleveling your professions a lot cheaper.
Oxymustard said... April 21, 2010 at 8:27 PM
Depends on the server I guess. I'm on a high pop pvp realm Sylvanas. Some days when I'm at work and there isn't much to do I babysit it, relist every hour for 8 hours, then relist every 3 hours at home for about 2-3 times untill I hit the sack. This nets me like 8k/day midweek and 10-15k/day in the weekend.
But I usually just post once every 2 days as I don't really need the gold or got any caps left to reach also these kind of high sales usually comes with atleast 1 hour/day just milling and crafting.
Also the book doesn't learn you every glyph there is and chances are there are some wannabe goblin campers out there that have learned all the recipes in that book and competing with them isn't worth it unless you play their camping game.

Diabetic Patients Recommended to Get Vaccinated Against Hepatitis B Infection
by Raja Nandhini on March 2, 2012 at 2:42 PM Health Watch - G J E 4
The higher incidence of Hepatitis B infection reported in adults diagnosed with diabetes had set the Hepatitis Vaccines Work Group of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) into action to evaluate the risk for infection in adults diagnosed with diabetes.
An analysis of 865 cases of acute hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection had indicated that the diabetic patients between 23 and 59 years of age were 2.1 times more prone to HBV infection than those without diabetes.
AdvertisementThis finding was further supported by a survey conducted in United States, which reported that 60% of the diabetic patients had been infected with HBV.
The committee had also assessed the mortality rate of the infection and found that the adults with diabetes had twice the risk of chronic infection and liver cell cancer as compared to those without diabetes.
The negligence to follow the guidelines and other precautionary steps in hospitals and other health centers while monitoring and treating diabetic patients was found to pave the way for easy transmission of the highly infectious HBV through the contaminated equipments.
Hence, a strict adherence to the infection control-measures and vaccination of the health care personnel against HBV infection was highly recommended by the committee.
The protective mechanism of the vaccination was reported to decrease significantly in diabetic adults over 40 years of age.
The committee has proposed economic models for vaccinating diabetic persons in the age group of 20 to 59 that could prevent 130 deaths per year due to infection.
After analyzing the risk factors for HBV infection and the economic impact of the intervention in adults diagnosed with diabetes, the Advisory committee has recommended the following:
People aged between 19 and 59 years should be immediately vaccinated against Hepatitis B, on being diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.
Those older than 60 years may consult their doctors before considering vaccination.

The holiday is over. The cookies are gone. The belly and love handles are not. Time to think about joining a gym, eating healthy. To ease your way and help you make the best of those intentions; meet Chef Andrew George Jr., author of Modern Native Feasts.
From camp cook for local mining companies, to restaurant cook, culinary teacher and chef, Chef George's training and experience have led him to become a master chef. His intention is not only to share native recipes however. Through his cookbooks, teaching and community activism, Chef George hopes to better educate governments, industry and stakeholders on how traditional resources can be used and managed.
Chef George, who taught you to cook?
There were six children in my family and our mother, Rita George, taught us all how to cook. She was very busy during the summer months, and our dad was frequently away working , so she made sure we knew how to take care of ourselves. Living on the Indian reservation, we spent a good deal of time hunting, fishing, and picking berries. Mom taught us how to cook over an open campfire while we were in the outdoors.
As a young boy, I got a job in the mining camp as a surveyor. They quickly discovered my skills and I also became the camp cook. When I got old enough, I took cooking classes in school. One of my high school counselors recognized my talent and suggested that I go to cooking school after I graduated high school.
When did you know you wanted to do this for a living?
Good question. From a very young age, I was always interested in cooking. I was constantly looking for ways to improve recipes and procedures in my mom's kitchen. In 1984, I entered the Vancouver Vocational Institute kitchen, and I knew I had found exactly what I wanted to do. I have been enjoying cooking ever since. I still learn something new nearly every day.
What 5 ingredients are most important to have for good cooking?
That depends on what you are cooking. Here is where I always start:
1. Fresh protein (fish, poultry, game, or seafood)
2. Fresh local vegetables
3. Fresh herbs and spices
4. Homemade stock for soups and sauces
5. Most importantly: love. Every recipe tastes better when you know where your ingredients come from and you've taken time with your family to prepare and enjoy the meal.
What makes your cookbook especially interesting and different from others?
"Modern Native Feasts" is unique because it takes traditional aboriginal products and fuses them into contemporary, user-friendly dishes.
What is your favorite meal?
My favorite recipe out of "Modern Native Feasts" is the Buffalo Rib Steak and Blackberry Au-jus. My all-time favorite food is half dried salmon straight out of my mom's smoke house or her savory steak recipe.

- His future – "I'm going to be here a long time," he said, adding, "I knew coming here, this was a challenge." His fourth Buffaloes team is 2-5 overall and 1-2 in the Big 12 Conference, making his CU records 15-29 and 9-18. He added that he is a "fighter, not a quitter . . . we'll see it through and we'll make it happen. I have 100 percent confidence in that, 100 percent confidence." After receiving a contract extension last season, Hawkins' current pact runs through the 2012 season.
- His state of mind – "In my deepest, darkest moments, there's no question – it's hard. It's a hard deal. I'm probably as hard on myself as anybody."
- Progress of the program – "Is it taking longer than expected? Yeah, yeah, I'm not going to lie to you, it probably has. "Have we made some mistakes along the way? Yep. I've made mistakes for 27 years (in coaching). But we continue to learn and grow from them and I think we're doing a nice job with that . . . . If I had to start over again, would I do some things different? Yes."
- The quarterback situation – Hawkins reiterated that Tyler Hansen is the Buffs' starter and insisted the sophomore is not on "a short leash." He said he and his staff are "fully supportive" of Hansen, who was spelled by junior Cody Hawkins last weekend at Kansas State when CU ran a no-huddle, two-minute offense at the end of the first half and again in the final 9 minutes when the Buffs trailed by two touchdowns. Cody Hawkins, said his father, entered the game because the Buffs' "margin of error" is very small and Cody was better at directing that offense. Dan Hawkins said he wanted Hansen to develop into an "all-the-time" player who does not go the sidelines in certain situations.
- Darrell Scott's rehabilitation – Dan Hawkins said the sophomore running back, who underwent arthroscopic knee surgery last Thursday, is more likely to return against Iowa State (Nov. 14) than Texas A&M (Nov. 7).
- Bryce Givens' return – The redshirt freshman right tackle did not make the K-State trip and is listed as Ryan Miller's backup on this week's depth chart. Dan Hawkins said he expects Givens, whose absence has been for "personal reasons," to be "back in the fold" this week.
- Punt returner Jason Espinoza – The K-State game was not a highlight for "Espy." He caught a punt inside his 5-yard line and was buried, then later bobbled a punt that the Wildcats recovered. Scotty McKnight replaced him as a returner thereafter, but Dan Hawkins said Espinoza will be given another chance this week in practice.
- Also speaking at Tuesday's press conference, Hansen said the team had a players' only meeting on Monday, during which team leaders said the Buffs must realize they're not only close, "We're there . . . we have to start believing it. We have the talent. But we didn't believe that at Kansas State. We have to have that mindset." Hansen said the Buffs "really want to beat Missouri" after being embarrassed by the Tigers for the past two seasons (55-10, 58-0).

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. – Aided by three even scorecards from the Maroon and White lineup, the Mississippi State men's golf team held on to seventh place after two rounds of play from the SEC Championship.
The Bulldogs turned in a 1-over-par 281 on Saturday to tie with Missouri at 8-over-par 568. No. 1 Alabama (22-under-par 538) stretched its lead to 17 strokes at Sea Island by shooting 14-under-par for the second round.
"We had very consistent play from our guys today," coach Clay Homan said. "We made a lot of pars and kept our mistakes to a minimum. I'm proud of the way our guys are hanging in there and competing. We need another solid outing tomorrow to finish off strong."
The senior trio of Chad Ramey, Joe Sakulpolphaisan and Barrett Edens are poised for top-25 finishes after their play in the second round. Ramey turned in another even card on Saturday to tie for 15th overall, while teammates Sakulpolphaisan and Edens shot even and 1-over-par to finish tied for 24th overall.
Rounding out the Maroon and White scorecard from Sea Island were sophomore Ben Wood and senior Axel Boasson. Wood turned in an even score on Saturday, while Boasson posted a 5-over-par 75 from the course.
Homan's squad will tee off at 7:30 a.m. EST on Sunday, alongside Missouri and Kentucky.

Hare Street Community Primary
School & Nursery
This web site has been produced to give parents, carers and the wider community an opportunity to find out a little bit more about Hare Street School.
Hare Street Infant and Junior Schools were opened in the 1950's to serve the Hare Street and town centre area of Harlow New Town.
In the Spring Term of 2001 Hare Street Infant and Junior Schools were amalgamated to form Hare Street Community Primary School and Nursery.
At Hare Street Community Primary school and Nursery we aim to provide a safe, caring, enjoyable and stimulating environment in which all members of our school community are able to develop and realise their full potential.
The school site is spacious and attractive with many large trees and a copse as well as a good size field with a variety of shrubs and flowers. The field is landscaped and this provides interesting play and learning areas. There are a number of outdoor playground areas for the children to use during their break and lunchtimes as well as for outdoor P.E. The Early Years children have their own separate outdoor play areas with gardens, and all areas benefit from high security fencing.

Howard Payne's Company Comes to life March 27
When I started writing Revenge Gifts I checked the domain and it was available. I thought it was the height of arrogance to buy it on the remote chance that the book might get a publisher and by the time I DID get a publisher the domain had been taken. I did not take the same chances with the URL I gave to Howard Payne's Investment company. I bought it and parked it.
Forgot about it, actually.
I am a little weird for a computer god in that I get bored easily and like to pick up new languages. There is a job I want that requires ColdFusion. I am currently employed, but as I said, not working out. The ColdFusion job actually pays less but there are more important things than money. I can't believe I am saying that, but I have learned this to be true as hell.
I thought, why the hell not? Why not see if I even like ColdFusion. I found a web host that handles ColdFusion and then I debated what domain to buy for it, until I remembered Howard's company. I dusted it off and set up the skeleton. You can visit as I build it and add bells and whistles and incorporate dynamic database driven text from Hate.dat.
SoFla Investors is in ColdFusion, Javascript, JSon, XML, MSSQL 2008 and HTML via DreamWeaver CS6
Tropical Times is in Dot net, MSSQL 2005
CindyCruciger.com is in FrontPage (about to be converted to something else.
This site is PHP- wordpress, MySQL
Revenge-Gifts.com is WordPress and PHP on steroids, MySQL.
I am really liking SoFla Investors and ColdFusion, though. As I flesh out the company and write the content and add the undercode to it, the process adds to the book.
I actually spent money on advertising, too.

Schools all around Maryland and beyond are gearing up for school picture days. Here is a simple list to avoid panic and mayhem on picture day.
10. Yearbook. Remember that even if you are not buying a picture package, your child will be photographed for the yearbook. This picture will be memorialized for years to come one way or the other.
9. Plan for Murphy's Law. Something will go wrong the morning of picture day. Just expect it. You'll sleep a bit too long. The cat will shed on the pants you laid out. The moments will fly away leaving you in a rush to throw a quick breakfast together as you race out the door. Just be ready for it and roll with the punches. The more preplanning you do, the less Murphy will be ruining your moment.
8. Color of the shirt. Pick a brightly colored shirt that will photograph well against the backdrop. A nice colored shirt reflects the light better and will give a special vibrancy to the picture. As they say, avoid white, black and grey.
7. Color of the background. Match your child and their clothes to the background you select. If you select the gray background, think twice before sending your child in a plain white or grey shirt. If you select the bright purple background don't send them in with a purple shirt.
6. Hairstyle. Don't over complicate the hairdo. Pictures are taken at various times of the day including right after recess or after gym. The gel and hairspray could wear off and turn into a mess. Keep it practical.
5. Hype it up. If you are expecting a lot from these photos to match the money you are spending, share your excitement with your child and make the day special like you make the first day of school and other fun school moments.
4. Agreeing on style. Decide at least the day before what shirt your child will wear. Don't forget to include jewelry in this discussion. They might want to wear their favorite faded tshirt. You probably want them to wear something "nice". They want to wear arm bands and you want them to wear a watch or bracelet. This could turn into a battle. Nudge them towards something nice but keep it their style.
3. Preplan. Talk to your child at least a week before picture day to decide if she needs a hair cut or if he needs to buy a shirt. Make sure everything fits. You want them to be involved in the process. They'll be proud of how they look and it will show in the photograph.
2. Practice. Take practice pictures at home on the digital camera. Can't decide between outfits? Check out which looks better. Can't decide hairstyles? Smile with teeth showing or just a smirk? Show them the difference with some practice shots.
1. Appropriateness. Remember that this is a memory making moment. This school picture should be nice (you sure spend enough for it) but the main goal is to capture who your child is at this moment in their life. If she loves rock and roll, don't put her in a frilly pink blouse. If he's shy and sweet, don't spike up his hair special for the day.
If you haven't gotten ready for picture day, start now. Schools schedule picture day well in advance but they don't send the order forms home until a few days or the day before the event so the forms don't get lost.
Follow me on Twitter or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions or comments that you don't want to leave below.

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands – Former Washington State University rowers, Lisa Roman, Daniela Nachazelova and Beth Rodford advanced their respective boats, Wednesday, at the 2014 World Rowing Championships.
A native of Langley, British Columbia, Roman helped lead her women's eight crew to victory in the second heat of the event. The Canadians notched a time of 6:20.96, the exact same time of the reigning world champions, the United States, which won the first heat of the event. The Canadians now move on to the A Final, Sunday, Aug. 31, looking to knock off the Americans, as they will be the top-two seeds.
A transfer from University of the Fraser Valley, Roman competed with the Cougar varsity rowing team for three seasons, rowing in the varsity boat all three years (2010-12). She is a two-time all-conference honoree, and in 2012 was named to the CRCA All-West Region First Team and the Pocock All-America Second Team. Last season she also competed in national competition as a member of Canada's women's eight boat, capturing bronze at the World Rowing Cup. In 2013 she rowed with Canada's Western Rowing Club at the Henley Royal Regatta and in 2011 she represented Canada at the Under-23 World Rowing Championships.
A native of Prague, Czech Republic, Nachazelova helped lead the Czech Republic lightweight women's double sculls boat to a second-place finish in the Repechage, advancing to the A/B Semifinal, Thursday. Joined by Ricky Nencini, Nachazelova's crew came in with a time of 7:52.69, nearly two minutes behind the United States at 7:51.00.
Nachazelova rowed with the Cougars' varsity squad in 2004, leading the second varsity eight boat to a second-place finish at the Pac-10 Championships and a third-place finish at the NCAA Championships, as the Cougars placed ninth nationally as a team.
A native of Gloucester, England, Rodford helped lead the Great Britain quadruple sculls crew to a first-place finish in the Repechage, moving her boat on to the A/B Semifinals. Her crew clocked a time of 6:45.36, over four seconds ahead of Italy in second with a time of 6:49.70.
Rodford rowed one season with the Cougars in 2002, helping lead the varsity eight boat to a third-place finish at the Pac-10 Championship as a freshman. Her boat earned a bid to the NCAA Championships, finishing 13th in the nation. Rodford transferred closer to home following her one season at Washington State and graduated from Brunel University. She raced in the women's quadruple scull in the 2012 Olympic Games at London, advancing to the final and finishing sixth.
Online streaming with audio commentary of results will be available throughout the week of competition at www.worldrowing.com.

The Toyota Camry is the most efficient of the five available hybrids (until the 2013 Ford Fusion arrives). If you live in Europe, the diesel world is your oyster. In North America, you have one option for an oil-burning mid-size sedan, the Volkswagen Passat. Which would you pick?

The Contenders:
Laphroaig (La-froyg)
Isle of Islay, Scotland, est. 1815
18 year malt scotch whiskey,aged in oak barrels, released in limited quantities
Black Maple Hill Bourbon
Bardstown, Kentucky
21 year single barrel bourbon, aged in charred oak casks. Hand bottled and a true Kentucky straight.
The Descriptions:
Color: Bright gold.
Nose: Peanut brittle and curry spice, seaweed and campfire smoke, damp grass and wet sheepdog.
Body: Potent and heavyweight.
Taste: Smoky, boggy, peat moss concentrate balanced with tempering apricot, soft glen heather finishing with pashmina velvetiness.
Finish: It luxuriously lasts till closing time.
Color: Deep honey.
Nose: Early aromas of caramel, oak barrel char, and palm oil.
Body: Elegant and weighty viscosity.
Taste: My friends and I call it the one that smells like bananas, but there's more to it than its tropical nose.
Finish: Sweet and intense.
The perfect antidote to a frigid Minnesota night. This scotch cloaks—an unapologetic siren song of a foggy Scottish bog.
Contrary to what many say, it's distilled by Black Maple Hill, not Heaven Hill or Buffalo Trace. When I visit distilleries in Kentucky, it will be first on my list.

MUSKEGON, MI -- There's a chance storms will arrive tonight following a hot, sunny Labor Day afternoon in Muskegon County.
Tonight will cool off substantially, with a low of about 68 degrees and a northwest wind about 5 mph. There is a 20 percent chance of storms after 9 p.m.
The National Weather Service's hazardous weather outlook for Muskegon County indicates isolated storms are possible tonight that may include gusty winds, periods of heavy rain and close to ground lightning.
Lake Michigan water temperature is expected to be about 73 degrees today, which, combined with a prediction of small waves and a low risk of rip tides, should make for another great day, if not night, at the beach.

What is the difference between Proof, Brilliant Uncirculated and Bullion coins?
Designing Britain's decimal coins began in 1961, far earlier than you may imagine.
Royal Mint gold bullion now available for holding in SIPP and SSAS pension schemes
The Royal Mint is looking for young designers
Accreditation against new standard
The Royal Mint has signed a Technical Cooperation Agreement with the Treasury Department of Thailand
About This Design
The 2007 Gateshead Millenium Bridge £1 coin was the final coin in a series of four designs by Australian-born wood engraver, Edwina Ellis, each illustrating a bridge from the four constituent parts of the United Kingdom. Opened to the public on 17 September 2001, the Gateshead Millennium Bridge stretches 126 metres across the River Tyne. Its striking arched opening, designed by Gifford and Partners with Wilkinson Eyre, has a remarkable presence and is a distinctive landmark in Newcastle and Gateshead.
History Of The £1
By 1980 it had become apparent that with the general decline in purchasing power, the £1 unit of currency was more appropriate to a coin than a banknote. After consultation with many groups including retailers and special interest groups, the Government announced on 31 July 1981 that a new £1 coin that was to be issued on 21 April 1983. Since its launch the £1 has always represented the United Kingdom and its constituent parts; England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

DesMommy, you should start a post that says "Obama is fucking evil. He needs to be tossed out on his ass. Romney was right, people on government assistance are leeches on society and need to be cut off." That will get shut down faster than you can say shut the front door! On the May board this used to get the board jumping every time!

Ive tried a few holsters that I wasn't comfortable in. They were either too high putting the gun into my love handles, put the barrel in behind my pockets making it difficult to get my hands into my front pockets, or if I shifted it back to the 4 o clock position it put the barrel over my wallet making it hard to get in and out.
I found a barely used Bianchi #6X. It has the retention strap I like and at aprox 15 deg forward cant it put the gun but just under my handle and just above my hip bone. Ive worn it for a couple of days around the house and out in the yard and its almost unnoticeable. I can sit, drive, and walk without any problems.
It does have some things I don't like tho
Its made of very thin split leather, this lets it collapses when the gun is drawn, and makes it hard to re holster.
I can get it back in there but not quickly or quietly. If I did have to draw the gun it might be easier to pocket it till I was in a more private place to re holster.
I think I'm going to carry this the way it is for a while But Ill be looking to have a custom one made that will be easier to re holster and possibly have a pocket for a spare mag, but still have the same angle and carry height. DR
You can see how the gun blends in!
This is what I look like carrying or not.
