Can't address your questions, but if you choose to proceed I would use the .080 or .125 Kydex.

Due to my personal situation, I feel like I need a unique holster, so I am planning on grabbing a bit of kydex and trying my hand at it myself.
Basically I wanted to run this idea by you guys and see what people think about how feasible this would be. Bear with me, as explaining this in words is rather difficult judging from the conversations I have had about it.
I have a Taurus 605 with a 3" barrel (basically J-frame size), and I want to carry it higher than a waistband holster would allow. Since this would make it very difficult to draw from underneath a shirt, I want a holster that I can draw without pulling the barrel all the way up.
So my idea is to mold the kydex around the cylinder, barrel and trigger guard, leaving the top open. So that the gun can be drawn cross draw style by simply grabbing the grip and twisting down, popping the cylinder (which is the widest part of the gun and thus the part most tightly formed to the kydex) loose and breaking the gun free of the holster. So if you looked at the holster from above the gun, you would see the entire barrel of the gun and most of the cylinder exposed, and the kydex would have to actually grip the gun with a reasonable amount of tension.
So, can it be done?
If I form the kydex to my gun, will it hold it in the manner described above, or will the kydex not be able to maintain that kind of tension, or will it wear out?
Is it a bad idea to have the main point of contact on the holster be the cylinder, are there wear issues that I am not thinking about (obviously there would be some wear on the finish, but I am not worried about asthetics at all.... it is a Taurus after all)?
I am open to any advice on how to do it or warnings about how its not a good idea.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Just wondering why do you want to carry it so high above your belt? how high do you wanna go??

I work with Kydex professionally.Yes. It may be too much, though. I make a type of holster that I think (you're right, it's hard to articulate) has a draw similar to what you're describing using .060 material. If I built that design with thicker material, it'd be awfully hard to overcome the spring-like action of Kydex.Would the thicker Kydex have more retension?
Have you considered a shoulder holster?
What you're describing is basically an updated version of the "clamshell" holster. This holster was popular in the 50s-70s with cops. It allows a very quick draw yet completely protects the gun from rough use. The holster was hard leather with a hinge at the back and a spring that held it closed. A simple twist popped it open like a jewelery case. It was a little bulky but worked VERY well.
The method of carry and draw that I am going for is very similar to that, but since it has to be concealed, I don't think I would be able to draw from underneath clothing with a true clamshell holster. If it popped open, it would definitely get in the way of the draw (worn cross draw like I want to). This is what I want to do though, more or less, with kydex and no moving parts.
Maybe I could make the holster go all the way around the last half inch or so of the barrel, so's I'd draw it up just a little before breaking it out.
Sounds similar to the Ken Null SMZ concept: K.L. Null Holster Ltd. - Holsters also the SKR: K.L. Null Holster Ltd. - Holsters
He uses a snap to hold the material in place around the revolver.

I thought I had a pretty good grasp of what you're talking about, but then "just a grip on half of the cylinder" threw me. I'll post some photos later, or maybe tomorrow, to try to clarify.
Maybe this helps to clarify a bit.
with kydex wrapped around the gun as shown by the little black box (no need to praise me, I know my artistic skills are amazing). So it would be carried with the muzzle pointing towards the ground, in cross draw (so I guess we are actually looking at the gun backwards in this picture).
Basically I want the top fully exposed as I have shown, so that I can pull up an inch or so, and then just peel the gun out of the holster as described for the clamshell draw... more or less.
Is that any clearer. I feel like I am not making sense to myself, and that is not a good sign.
lemme know if that doesn't show up right, it was kinda iffy getting it posted.
One more... I apologize at this incredibly lame attempt to make it look 3-D... all I got is MS paint.
Ooops I just realized that on my second drawing I covered up the back of the cylinder. I meant to leave the white part open so that it could be drawn straight up a half inch or so, clearing the muzzle and then be pried out of the kydex.
Okay, this is the direction I would be exploring in if I were commissioned to build something along the lines of what you've described. I used a scrap piece of .080 Kydex.
If I were doing it for real, I'd probably use two piece construction, rather than the fold over style. Either way, I'd use a large enough piece of kydex to make kind of a flange where the sloppy black 'paint' is in this photo. That's where I'd mount my belt attachment. To draw, you'd grip, and rotate the gun in the direction shown by the red arrow.

Heber Valley program encourages kids to 'unplug' and get outside
Scott G Winterton, Deseret News
HEBER CITY — A program sparked by one man's idea to improve kids' lifestyles has motivated an entire community to "unplug."
Heber Valley Unplugged: Turn Life On Challenge began May 24, just in time for schoolchildren to start planning their summer activities. Today, many parents are thanking the masterminds of the program for encouraging their children to turn off their electronic entertainment devices and get involved in more active activities.
The idea began with Heber City Councilman Erik Rowland.
"The merit to this program and what it can provide is invaluable," Rowland said. "We feel that parents are struggling everywhere."
Kids who used to go outside and play instead are "just grabbing their iPads, tablets and iPhones," he said.
"There's a genuine sense from a lot of people that we've oversaturated ourselves with being plugged in, and we're losing that sense of play," Rowland said.
The challenge aims to engage students from elementary to high school ages in a competition for the most active summer by participating in 101 "brag-tag" activities throughout Heber Valley.
For each activity completed, students earn points for better chances to win $100 from the challenge's weekly drawings. Kids are also given lanyards to show off their "brag-tags."
Activities include washing cars, roasting marshmallows, stargazing, riding the Heber Valley Railroad, swimming at Deer Creek and feeding ducks at Wasatch Mountain State Park.
Heber City Police Chief Dave Booth said he assisted the program by speaking with local businesses about buying "brag-tags" and hosting events for participants to attend.
"The thing I like about 'Unplugged' the most is it truly benefits the entire community," Booth said. "The businesses are happy because people are coming into their businesses, and that's stimulating the economy. The kids are happy because they're out having a lot of fun. Law enforcement is happy because we're making our society safer by providing healthy things for our kids to be doing."
Rachel Kahler, marketing and events manager for Heber Valley Tourism and Economic Development, said the challenge has been a success and has surpassed expectations.
Last week 5,500 "Unplugged" lanyards were passed out and more than 200 kids entered in the $100 drawing. In addition, more than 70 violent video games were turned in for the "Game Slayer Tag," which Rowland said was the program's "benchmark for success."
"To be honest, we never expected it would be as popular as it's become," Rowland said. "It's been really neat to see a community come together to show that support and to see kids do things I never thought they would do, like turn in their video games."
He said the program has been a success because it has encouraged kids to be active in a fun way instead of discouraging them from entertainment they've grown to enjoy.
"Presenting a program that was based on what you can't do wasn't going to be very well received," Rowland said. "The models that work are the ones that provide incentive and focus on things you should be doing rather than the things you shouldn't be doing."
The program is funded by the Heber City Council and donations from Intermountain Healthcare and the Heber Valley Rotary Club, Kahler said. Businesses purchasing lanyards also keeps the program thriving, she said.
Ashley Wall, a mother of four children participating in the challenge, said her kids "have been excited about it from the get-go."

If you are looking for a plugin to get your store up and running in no time, this is the plugin for you. I had explored other plugins and found those didn't play nicely with my website. This plugin does not conflict with my WP theme(s) and Page Builder module. I found Woo and its java to conflict with my website, breaking several plugins. Go ahead and upgrade to Premium because you'll benefit from their support.
This is a fantastic, simple plugin for selling 1-2 items on a website such as an eBook, tickets to a workshop, T-Shirt or a CD.
You have to make sure NOT to touch the store page at all for the free version to work properly. I made that mistake and Niaz was kind enough to help me.
When my clients need more functionality they will definitely upgrade to his premium plugin.
Thanks for such a useful plugin.
I recently installed the Premium version of this plugin for a client who is selling soup online. The Premium version costs just $30 which I think is a good price, and the client was happy to pay for it.
I wanted the product variations to display the actual price in the dropdown, instead of the price relative to the original product price, and Niaz prompted delivered the new code within hours of me sending him a small payment to make the change. My client and I are very happy with it.
My client's order page with products:
According to the reviews and forum, I was skeptical at first about Niaz's level of service. In fact, at the beginning I had some difficulty getting just one category of products to display using the shortcodes that Niaz sent me. I could only get the full store showing up on my Store page. He seemed reluctant to really tackle the problem, perhaps because he was going on vacation, but he said that my site was really slow and he couldn't get in (I wasn't sure I believed him, as I've been on the same server for 10 years and it's never slow or down), and he said I should check syntax, reinstall the plugin, and failing that reinstall WordPress. All those having failed, he suggested having GoDaddy reinstall WordPress. This dismayed me because I had already double-checked my files and installs. But magically, one day the shortcodes started working and I still have no idea what the issue was. So I cannot blame him, I just got the impression through email that he was a bit dismissive or reluctant to handle the problem at first. But luckily it all worked out in the end.
I will definitely be using this plugin in the future. It's easy to use and "simple" which is exactly what I need!
The plugin works good, its a simple to use plugin and i like simple. I needed some modification and support and Niaz respond almost directly and the modification was fixed within 36 hours
I am very happy with the result.
This is a great plugin but the 'lite' version is limited and you will be strongly encouraged by the author to buy the 'premium' version when you ask for support. In fact, you will NEED the 'premium' version to do anything other than really basic stuff.
The 'premium' version (which, confusingly, has a different name) is inexpensive to purchase and works really well but is missing a few bits of core functionality (like merchant emails for the manual payment gateway, for example) and you will end up paying the author extra to supply the code unless you're pretty handy with PHP and SQL. That said, if you end up paying an extra $50 or so to get it fully functional it's still a reasonable buy.
The author (Niaz) is very friendly and replies promptly to support emails but often with requests for extra payment for code revisions or with slightly confused messages. So, patience is required but you should get there in the end!
Summary: The 'premium' version is a really fantastic, straightforward shopcart with plenty of functionality but you will have to be prepared for a bit of work and/or extra payment when needing modifications.
Awesome plugin and great support... if you dont have the funds this is the one you need to get! They will treat you like you spent thousands of dollars on their cart system even though it is free! You will end up wanting to get the upgrade for the extra features and its so inexpensive anyway. I am using this cart on all my future ecommerce builds no doubt.

text: ENTER SANDMAN: AN RMT Metallica please don't sue me please I'm sorry I've been playing fourth gen for about two and a half years now, but never posted an RMT or really done anything in the Pokemon community. I've always wanted to do an RMT and the other stuff, though. And I figured, what better time to be active in the 4th gen meta than when it's two years old and almost everyone has moved on? So, here's an RMT for my favorite OU team to use, which I based on my favorite UU team to use. How It Came Together: Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide Like I said, this team was originally a UU team, and one that worked pretty damn good. I had originally made the team so that I could have a sand team in UU, since I'd gotten bored with my rain one. I also wanted to build something around Cacturne and Regirock. Hippopotas was a given, since he's the only one that starts sand in UU; I also added Quagsire to take water attacks aimed at my water weak team, and to act as a momentum stopper. I added Haunter because the Gastly line are an incredibly easy line to throw into any team. Haunter gave me ground and fighting immunities specifically, which were incredibly useful given the weaknesses of the team. Originally I had Armaldo as a spinner/attacker, but he wasn't working for me, so I added scarf Magmortar, who also didn't work for me. Then I settled on mixed LO Nidoking with Fire Blast, who absorbed t-spikes and broke down the pokemon like Registeel and Clefable that otherwise stopped the rest of them. So I spent a long time running up and down UU with them. After a while, I started running the team in OU, just for shits, with a chance of giggles. Instantly there were problems. Pokemon that weren't in UU could singlehandedly wall my whole team, and thing's weren't going so swell. So I updated it. I traded out Hippopotas for Hippowdon and Haunter for Gengar, but I kept everyone else the same to see if it'd work. It didn't. Well, not really. The team did work better; Hippowdon was actually useful, instead of being a drag on the rest of my team like Hippopotas was in OU. Gengar gave a little more oomph and a lot more speed, which was especially useful against some other threats, like other Gengar. But Nidoking just couldn't keep up. OU was a faster game, and Nidoking was an old pokemon who couldn't run with the hot young things of OU. Plus, his presence made my team obnoxiously weak to ice attacks, and grass attacks could pretty much have their way with my team, too. So he was out. The first replacement I tried was Magnezone. But it didn't cut it. True, Skarmory was one the primary presences crippling my new improved OU team; it's taunts and whirlwinds ruined anything my team tried to throw together. But Magnezone is a highly specialized pokemon designed with a specific task in mind, and aside from Skarmory, my team really didn't have an issue with steel types. It was a little much to use a whole team slot just to counter a single pokemon, especially when there were other threats I needed checked. So, I ditched Zone and got a Forretress. And he was ok. Better than Zone or Nidoking. He piled the spikes on top of Hippowdon's SR, which was fantastic. And he kept hazards off my side, which was also pretty neat. He resists a nice set of attacks, but he couldn't do much else. And it was about here that I began to recognize, and hate, this team's arch-enemy; Gliscor. With Forretress, none of my team had any real shot at taking out Gliscor, unless Gengar got a crit or Regirock by some miracle dodged 6 taunts and hit it with +6 rock slide. I had to have a special attacker who had some good utility. So I slapped on Heatran. And here, I think, was the answer. At first I tried a more defensive Heatran, but he was just as useless against Gliscor as anyone else. On top of that, earth power Shaymin and Celebi screwed it right over. Besides, status beyond sleep got in the way of this team's playstyle, so burns were useless, and I already had a good SR setter in Hippowdon. So I switched it out for a scarftran, one of my favorite things to use in 4th gen OU. And so, I came out with the current (and pretty successful) iteration of the team: Team: One Fish Hippowdon @ Leftovers Sand Stream Impish (+Def, -SpA) 252 HP/152 Def/104 SpDef/ Moveset: -Stealth Rock -Earthquake -Yawn -Slack Off The Lowdown: My lead and sand starter-upper. Bulky as hell, and has a pretty decently powered EQ if things get down to the wire. Pretty much a standard Hippowdon. Takes hits like no one's business on the physical side, and even shakes off a pretty fair share of special moves. Hippowdon's role is two fold; get rocks up (and keep them up) and Phaze. Phaze until the ends of the earth. Instead of roar/whirlwind (or coverage), though, I have yawn as my phazer. From experience, I much prefer yawn to roar/whirlwind as a phazer for three reasons: one, is that in the end, somebody be fallin asleep. Two, is that Roar and Whirlwind don't let you scout the opponents team with any degree of methodology. With yawn, the opposing player is going to switch to something that they think is a counter, and it will let me scope out those counters; since Hippowdon's counters are pretty much the same as the guys on my team who I need to watch out for (Regi, Cacturne), it lets me get a sense of what I need to do/take out before I can use either of them. For example, If I yawn a lead Jirachi, they might u-turn out to a Gliscor, who Hippowdon can't touch, and who can u-turn out of a yawn. But it lets me know there's a Gliscor, and that I can't use Regirock until it's gone. In the same vein, it lets me scout out odd movesets that are good to know about, like energy ball on a Gengar. Three, is that with roar/whirlwind, you always have to move last due to negative priority; Yawn can catch on the switch, and then on the switch again, etc. and create a long, delicous chain of phazing that often goes for turns at a time without taking any damage, wracking up SR and sweet, sweet leftovers recovery. Usually this is Hippowdon's only purpose; primarily, to scout for threats like Gliscor to give me an idea of what lies ahead, and peripherally to wrack up some SR. And then, when the opponent finally gives up and lets something stay in and fall asleep to end it all, or if they switch in a Natural Cure type thing who I know will stay in on it, or just some other kind of nice little opening, I switch in this next guy. Blue Fish Cacturne @ Life Orb Sand Veil Adamant (+Att, -SpA) 252 Att/252 HP/4 Spe Moveset: -Substitute -Swords Dance -Sucker Punch -Focus Punch The Lowdown: This guy. The titular Sandman... I don't even know where to begin. This thing has netted me more KO's than any other pokemon on any team I've ever used. Probably the single riskiest pokemon in the game; when things don't go so hot, I'm essentially starting the game with 5 pokemon. When things go right, he is a freak nasty machine who I've had 6-0 teams by himself more times than I can count. I chose the EV's specifically for the one on this team; 4 speed EV's let him set up subs on an uninvested Blissey's (read: all Blisseys) toxic/T-wave, and then set up or focus punch right off the bat. The HP EV's give his subs about a 50-50 shot at withstanding an uninvested Gliscor's EQ, because Cacturne can't take shit for hits. LO is where I get a little shaky. I love the power it gives me. With a swords dance and LO, Cacturne nearly OHKOS full 252 HP/252 Def Skarmory with focus punch as it tries to phaze him away(can after a couple switches into rocks), and easily OHKOS if it roosts. But half the time, the only reason Cacturne dies is because it screws up so many mons that LO recoil kills it. I've had leftovers suggested to me by people I've gone up against, but I've always been a little hesitant. If anyone's got thoughts, that'd be super helpful. My plan with Cacturne is to get him in as soon as possible and as cleanly as possible. Usually this involves Hippowdon making the opening; say, it's yawned a Starmie (natural cure) and I know it'll stay in and hydro pump or rapid spin (I'm willing to sacrifice rocks for getting in Cacturne cleanly). I switch in Cacturne as he switches out the sleeping Starmie, and then sub up or SD (depending on how his team looked from the phazing). And then I proceed to lay some suckers out. His whole role is to punch huge holes in the opponents team, making the rest of my guys' jobs easier. Focus punch and sucker punch make for one of the most mind screwing combinations in the game, and they have nearly perfect coverage. With a little prediction, Cacturne is pretty much guaranteed to take at least 1-2 pokemon down if you can get him in cleanly. On the downside, Cacturne has almost literally no defenses. At most, he can usually only take just about one (1) resisted attack, before he'll die to just about anything. Once you switch him in, and he takes a hit, that's pretty much the only time you'll get to switch him in unless you get lucky. With sand veil, though, you get lucky pretty often. Half the time I win, it's entirely because of Cacturne. Red Fish Quagsire @ Leftovers Water Absorb Impish (+Def, -SpA) 252 HP/ 252 Def/ 4 Att Moveset: -Earthquake -Ice Punch -Yawn -Recover The Lowdown: My defensive pivot, and one of the most underrated pokemon in the metagame imo. It can wall nonstop any water type not named Ludicolo with immunities to water and electric, and a neutrality to ice. Gyarados can only dance for Quagsire's amusement; Starmie w/o Grass knot (I hate grass knot) can only spin; water is this pokemon's bitch. There's really not much to describe. Pretty standard Quagsire. I've added yawn instead of toxic or encore for all the reasons I put it on Hippowdon. I swapped out waterfall for ice punch so it can catch unwary Gliscor, Flygon, and Dragonite off guard, Roserades on the switch, and to attack the stubborn Gyarados's that don't want to switch out of a yawn and lose their DD boosts. I chose Quagsire over Swampert because Water Absorb is just such an amazing ability for Quagsire to have, and gives it far more use as a pivot for this team. Yawn doesn't hurt, either. His role is to catch and stop momentum, just like any other pivot. He switches in on just about any water type and water type move (which otherwise screw the team over, since Cacturne can't take resisted hits), and then does what Hippowdon did before him; phazes, looking for another spot to slip in Cacturne. If Cacturne's dead, or more likely if the opponent's caught on and won't fall for it again, I switch to one of the other guys, or else keep wracking up SR and Sandstorm damage while occasionally attacking. He takes physical hits fantastically as well, being 3HKOD by Infernape CC. He hard counters so many pokemon it's obscene; Tyranitar, non-exploding Metagross, scarf Jirachi, defensive Heatran, most Rotoms, it goes on - Quagsire's a great pokemon, and if the other team has no grass moves, he almost never dies. Although sometimes I wish he had Swampert's physical prowess, I always feel safer when Quagsire's still around. Old Fish Gengar @ Choice Scarf Levitate Timid (+Spe, -Att) 252 SpA/ 252 Spe/4 HP Moveset: -Shadow Ball -Thunderbolt -Energy Ball -Psychic The Lowdown: My late game sweeper when things are too fast and furious for Regirock, and my semi-defensive pivot by sheer nature of its immunities. The nature and spread are pretty standard for scarf Gengar. However, I chose energy ball over focus blast to nail Swampert and the rare Quagsire who think I can't touch them and who otherwise cause trouble for the team. It's leftover from the teams' UU days when I had it to nail Rhyperior, among others. Likewise, psychic is also a relic from when Old Fish was a Haunter. Initially, I traded it in for trick when I moved the team up to OU. But even without the Weezings and Venusaurs I've found psychic to have its uses, particularly in finishing up Machamps and killing scarf Heracross and other fighting types who keep Regirock from coming in. I've sometimes wished I had trick back instead of energy ball, and it's one of those things that I'm still not sure of. That goes for psychic, too, although not as much. Thoughts? I chose choice scarf Gengar for this team primarily because I'm a sucker for choice scarf gengar. With scarf gengar I can surprise and take out +1 Gyarados, non-scarf Starmie, and scarf rotoms. It can keep the heat on faster threats like Jolteon, and also outspeeds Scarf Jirachi, the worlds most BS pokemon. It can actually 2HKO it with a couple switches worth of rocks. Beyond that, Gengar gives me ground and fighting immunies, which are good on any team, but especially good for mine. Plus, it has great defensive synergy with Heatran, it's hit-and-run partner. Also, a somewhat bittersweet benefit is that when Gengar goes down to a choiced pursuit, it gives me a pretty slick opportunity to switch in Cacturne again. If he's still alive. I have tried swapping Gengar for Rotom-W. I missed the higher offenses and speed, but Rotom offers more support, bulk, and Hydro Pump. I'm still on the fence about it because Gengar does some niche things for this team, like taking out opposing Gengar, Rotom, Azelf, and spinblocking==>killing Starmie. Again, thoughts would be helpful. New Fish Heatran @ Choice Scarf Flash Fire Timid (+ Spe, -Att) 252 SpA/252 Spe/4 HP Moveset: -Overheat -Earth Power -Dragon Pulse -Hidden Power [Ice] The Lowdown: The newest member of the team. I chose Heatran because it switches in to grass and ice attacks like nothing, which my team sorely needed, and it has good synergy with Gengar. It keeps pressure on Skarmory, and can switch in and kill weakened or none-Shuca Heatran with a little prediction. It also kills non-scarfed Shaymin, Celebi, and Roserade, which is a huge help to this team. I chose overheat over fire blast because I play this Heatran in a very hit-and-run way, to which overheat is better suited. I chose HP Ice after a long stint with HP Grass mostly because of Gliscor. Heatran's a great and versatile pokemon, and many would argue that it's the best pokemon in 4th gen OU. It gives me good defensive synergy, and the offensive pressure it keeps on Skarmory and the OU grasses is great, but I still can't shake the feeling that I should be doing something else with it. Or that I should just be using another pokemon entirely. Two Fish Regirock @ Leftovers Clear Body Careful (+SpDef, - SpA) 252 SpDef/252 HP/4 Att Moveset: -Rest -Curse -Sleep Talk -Rock Slide The Lowdown: My last resort, emergency-button Plan B (and occasional late game sweeper). Standard monoattacking Regirock, but this thing is nuts-crazy. With sand reliably up, this thing does not die. Ever. It's Special Defense in sand is about 500. Non-LO or Specs Starmie hydro pump only 3HKOs it, unboosted Suicune surf 5HKOs, and once it gets a curse or two up, its game and match. Pretty straightforward playstyle. Come in on a pokemon that can't do much against it, and start cursing like a sailor. The king of turnarounds, Regirock has come back and won me matches that were 1-6 on more than one occasion. Sometimes, when things look bad (in other words, if Cacturne and Quagsire die), I will purposely start sacrficing all my pokemon except Regirock in such a way that it can come in safely, and then not have to worry about Phazing. Sleep Talk also lets it take sleep powders and activate the sleep clause, which makes fights against Roserade, Venusaur, and Breloom far easier. Besides switching in to absorb sleep, I usually don't use Regirock until I absolutely have too, keeping him at full health until things start to get nasty. Even though he's got defensive bulk to spare, until he gets a curse or two those dynamic punches and close combats are still deadly. General Strategy: Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide Although I've outlined the general strategy of the team in the little blurbs up there, I'll explain again here. The goal is to set up rocks and then phaze, scouting out the team and looking for openings to slip in Cacturne. Once Cacturne's done good enough, or he dies, the parade of phazing begins again, and Gengar and Heatran perform hit and runs using their immunities and resists, or else I slip in Cacturne to wreak havoc once more. The whole time this is going on, I'm paying careful attention to take out pokemon like Lucario who could single handedly stop Regirock. Regirock's potential sweep needs to be clear at all costs, in case I really need it. Most times, though, Regirock stays benched except to absorb sleep. Threats: Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide I've elaborated on the bigger ones. Gliscor: Gliscor, Gliscor, Gliscor. With its immunity to ground, resistance to fighting, bulk, instant recovery, sand veil, and above all, taunt, Gliscor can single handedly shut down most parts of this team. Hippowdon can't touch it, and Cacturne is out mind-gamed by its roosting, taunting, focus punch resisting BS. Heatran's overheats drop to 70% accuracy and is OHKOd by STAB EQ, and Regirock can't knock out a single curse once it's taunted. Quagsire has some success with ice punch, and can outstall it if things get bad. Gengar can wear it down eventually with STAB shadow ball, but most people are smart enough not to switch/keep in a Gliscor against a Gengar. Unless they predict a T-bolt, in which case sometimes I get lucky and predict the switch in. But other than that, unless Heatran surprises it with an HP Ice, or Cacturne is hiding behind a sub with +2 when Gliscor comes in, Gliscor ruins everyone's fun. Skarmory: Not such a huge threat now that I've got Heatran, and once Cacturne is set up Skarmory can't do much without dying. Still, like Gliscor, its bulk, recovery, and access to taunt hurt. Spikes also hurt the team, but Heatran usually makes sure Skarm rarely gets the chance to set them up. Breloom: If Breloom's spored someone besides Gengar, then Gengar can kill it; again, though, most people don't keep a Breloom in against a ghost, particularly Gengar. Toxic Orb blocks yawn, as well. Besides that, Quagsire can come in on the ones that run stone edge instead of seed bomb, and Heatran can revenge kill any variant. Vaporeon: Not a threat in the way that it shuts me down like Gliscor, or can sweep like Breloom, but this team cannot kill Vaporeon. If the other team has one and I win, its always the last one to die, without fail. If Cacturne's already in the zone when Vaporeon's out, he can take care of it. Other than that, Gengar's T-Bolt doesn't do enough to keep it from Wish-Protecting back the health it lost. Roar variants, though, shut down the team like Gliscor does. Phazing and taunting in general are things my team absolutely hates. Blissey: Not nearly as big of a threat as the others, since Cacturne and Regirock can both take care of it fairly easily. However, Hippowdon and Quagsire don't pack the power to do more than 50%, the magic number. And Heatran and Gengar are both special attackers. Blissey is the main reason I sometimes wish Gengar had trick instead of either energy ball or psychic. Hippowdon: Bulky and built for sand, Hippowdon's threat to my team is identical to Vaporeon's; my team has no reliable way of killing it, and it can phaze. Unlike Vaporeon, though, Cacturne and Regirock have a hard time taking it out, since it prefers physical defense over special defense. It's special bulk, however, is not nearly bad enough for Gengar and Heatran to have an easy time of it. Gengar: Choice Gengar aren't a problem, since Cacturne loves choiced ghosts, and good switching in general wear them down. Trick can be difficult, though. Substitute variants are also difficult. They can set up without fear on Cacturne, and can then protect themselves from being revenge killed by this team's Gengar. If the sub's down, though, either Gengar or heatran can take it out. Rotom forms: Quagsire can wall the two most common Rotoms easily, but can't do much back, epecially if they've got will-o-wisp. Bulky variants are particularly hard to take down, since they have support moves to use to block Cacturne's sucker punch. Gengar can KO bulky variants after a little SR and some prior damage. Choiced variants are easier to deal with, because Cacturne literally eats ghosts, or they expect an easy KO on Gengar, who outspeeds them. They can be also walled and forced out by Quagsire. Again, trick is real bad news. Ludicolo: Its almost never seen in OU except on rain, but when it shows up, something usually dies. Usually I'll try switching between Heatran and Quagsire to try and outlast the rain, but most people will will catch on and it becomes predict/counter-predict. If it's taken a little damage and/or LO recoil, Gengar can switch in on a giga drain, outspeed, and kill it with STAB. In UU, this thing and Venusaur were my bane. Celebi/Shaymin: I've lumped these two together because they threaten the same way. STAB grass attacks in general threaten my team, since Gengar and Cacturne have trouble taking resisted hits. Celebi and Shaymin often have earth power to hit Heatran, though, which makes it much harder to take them out. Gengar can take care of Celebi, but Shaymin is more difficult. Togekiss: Besides maybe Jirachi, this thing is the worst. Quagsire and Hippowdon can switch in on T-waves and try to phaze and wrack up SR. If Cacturne's behind a sub he can kill it. If all else fails, Regirock absorbs status, sponges aura spheres, and can hit super effective with STAB. Venusaur: Offensive variants; Heatran can check. Lucario: Agility Lucario can sweep the entire team if Hippowdon's down and Quagsire's weakened. It's not seen nearly as often as SD variants, though, which are more manageable for this team. Roserade: Offensive variants; Heatran can check. Lead Azelf: Temporarily throws off Hippowdon. Usually, I'd switch out Hippowdon on the taunt to gengar. Sand breaks focus sash, and scarf shadow ball outspeeds and OHKOs. Similar methods against Aerodactyl, but with out sand breaking the sash Mamoswine: Hippowdon can hold his own, and Quagsire can too to a lesser extent. Heatran can check. Infernape: Quagsire can wall if at full health and if Infernape doesn't have grass knot. Physical ones can be walled by Hippowdon. Heatran/Gengar can revenge kill/switch in on fire/fighting STAB, respectively. Machamp: Lum variants; Heatran and Gengar can KO if worn down by sand enough. Lum leads are very irritating for Hippowdon Dragonite: Mixed variants; Draco Meteor kills Quagsire/Hippowdon, and Superpower + Outrage kills the rest. Lum berry hurts the team's phazing, too. With prediction, Heatran, Gengar, and Quagsire can take down fairly easily. Hitmontop: Sucker Punch variants kill Gengar, STAB kills Cacturne/Heatran/Regi. Hippowdon and Quagsire can wall successfully Flygon: Throws a wrench in my early game plans, as it can u-turn out of yawns and is immune to EQ. Quagsire can take anything the more common scarf variants dish out, and hit hard back with ice punch. With a little prior damage, Cacturne and Gengar can both OHKO. If anyone sees any other glaring weakness I might've forgot, let me know. I'll add em on the list.

AMSTERDAM, Jan 16 (Reuters) - The International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor said on Wednesday she had launched a formal investigation into suspected war crimes in Mali, following rebels' seizure of large tracts of the west African state.
"Since the beginning of the armed conflict in January 2012, the people of Northern Mali have been living in profound turmoil," Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda said in a statement.
"At each stage during the conflict, different armed groups have caused havoc and human suffering through a range of alleged acts of extreme violence. I have determined that some of these deeds of brutality and destruction may constitute war crimes."

So what is your favorite TOR planet and why?
There has been some discussion in the Dummies thread about favorite planet.
So what is your favorite planet(s) and why?
Screen shots are welcomed, but if you have a good one, please post it in Mav's Alderaan News Holopics instead. He can always used good shots for his article.
Vote is public and you can vote for up to three (or more)
Tatooine so far!
Dromund Kaas is by far my favorite planet. I love the jungle setting and arriving at Kaas City for the first time, seeing this massive city, not unlike Coruscant, but in my opinion a far interesting place, is just amazing. There's also quite some interesting quests to do here, including one with ties to Revan.
I also picked Corellia. The developers outdid themselves building Coronet City. And the tubes, the tubes!
A simple reason, but I found it quite nice. It felt all majestic with all the snow and mountains, and the story and missions for Consular class made it seem like it was where I should be..? if that makes sense.
Late one night I went and explored the entire map and found some really interesting places..found the Sith Base way up north and felt like I was trespassing...:D
Still my favorite but I still havent seen Voss, or Ilum ..or Belsavis..
I gotta go for Alderaan. And even though I haven't seen some of the others yet, I don't think they'll beat Alderaan. Mountains, snow, blue streams, roaming nerfs, wildflowers--add to that the cute medieval-style music, the royal 'houses', the awesome taxis, and that really nice cantina with the outside balcony--I want to vacation there! It's definitely a resort place. Even the 'cocktail' they sell at the cantina is called 'Holiday Special'. (Good stuff, by the way.) :D I'm hoping that there will be an update that maybe adds in a ski slope game there. Or maybe a speeder slope game. ;) When I hit level 50 with my smuggler, I'm letting her have a holiday on Alderaan for a bit, just exploring things that I might have missed. Maybe I'll find something surprising. :)
Tatooine For the jawa Ballon quest...

BRAZIL: Chinese pile in to manufacture in growing market
By Fernando Calmon | 29 January 2013
Brazil, one of the world's fastest growing auto markets, attracts many players. There are currently 49 auto and LCV brands here alone, more if heavy trucks are included.
Consultantancy firms foresee optimistic numbers. Roland Berger expects up to 10% growth in some periods until 2020, when the market is likely to reach 6.6m units yearly. PricewaterhouseCoopers is more cautious: 6% average annual expansion until 2017.
Consequently, Brazil could overtake Japan as the world's third largest market by 2015 - it ranked fourth in 2012.
Matthias Wissmann, VDA president, noted that just 14% of Brazilians own a car, compared to 75% in 'mature' countries. And the medium class keeps improving its buying power at a rate above growth in the economy, which leaves room for selling even more cars.
Chinese brands are after a good chunk of this growth by betting on low cost models and luring in to showrooms those who've never owned a vehicle.
The new Inovar-Auto industry regime obligates newcomers to manufacture here. Chery has spent BRL800m/USS400m on a manufacturing plant in Jacareí (São Paulo state) which will start production late this year.
Group SHC's JAC, which also has a plant under way, has just announced an additional BRL100m/US$50m spend to make the T140 light truck at the same Camaçari (Bahia) site.
Brazilian Group CNAuto is spending BRL250m/US$124m in Linhares (Espírito Santo) to make a range of Hafei microvans and micro-pickup trucks.
On neighbouring land, with a higher spend of BRL600m/US$300m, Mozambique's Group Districar will build Changan's MiniStar micro-commercial vehicles and Haimas H2 and H3 cars. Under the same roof, will be assembly of Mahindra and Mahindra's Ssangyong Korando SUV and Actyon Sports pick-up, now imported by Districar too.
Rumours are that Great Wall is negotiating with the state of Pernambuco's government, but that is not confirmed yet.
Others Chinese intending to produce medium and heavy trucks are Foton (BRL600m/US$300m); Shacman (BRL1b/US$500m); Shiyan Yulihong (BRL185m/US$92m); and Sinotruk (BRL300m/US$150m).

I use the Tumblrize plugin to get posts from my blog to display on my Tumblr page and it works fine except it also copies image "captions" which Tumblr doesn't properly recognize. I haven't been able tweak this in the CSS of my Tumblr page because the captions aren't in a particular class; they aren't even in a code that Tumblr understands.
Would it be possible to get Tumblr to recognize the captions? That would be the easiest fix.
An alternative would be, I suppose, to change the Tumblrize plugin and have it only copy and paste text (not necessarily the image) without captions into my Tumblr blog.
In any event, I could use help!

THE government has reported more tangible progress towards establishing an open and increasingly transparent and consistent legal framework for business environment across the country.
The Minister for Industry and Trade, Dr Abdallah Kigoda, said during the launch of Panasonic's wide range of products under 'Eco Solutions' in Tanzania over the weekend that as a result of such efforts, the economy has continued to perform strongly, with current growth at around 7 per cent.
"We have witnessed increased business operations in our country. However, one of the major problems to our economy is the issue of counterfeit and sub-standard products, " he noted.
The minister pointed out that this has negative effects to the manufacturing sector and to the unsuspecting consumer."The government loses in uncollected tax revenue, legitimate industry loses its rightful share of the market to pirates and consumers are exposed to substandard, falsely described and possibly dangerous goods," Dr Kigoda pointed out.
He, however, said the image of the well-established brands is also destroyed. The minister urged the business community to collaborate with government institutions such as TBS, FCC and Weights and Measures in fighting this problem.
"Many of us have grown using variety of products from this company. As a proud Tanzanian, I am delighted that Panasonic has chosen Tanzania as the 1st country to launch "Electrical Construction Material and Air Moving Solutions" products for the East African Market," he remarked.
Dr Kigoda noted that as the economy progresses, such products would be a big boost to the construction industry due to their proven durability and reliability.
"Such quality products will help improve the competition and trigger better quality standards all around. On behalf of the Government, we are happy to see the intent of Panasonic and look forward to see many such reputed brands launching their products in Tanzania as a gateway to East Africa," the minister enthused.
He assured the firm of complete government support, wishing Panasonic and United Trader all the best after the successful launch of the new products. Panasonic is almost 100 years having been established in 1918.

This Cannibalism Trend Has Got To Stop!
It seems like every time I look at Google News, someone's just eaten a person's face or dismembered them and sent the parts around while nibbling on the leftovers.
This is sick!
I know there's still a recession going on, but just sneak into the local pub and grab some bar nuts if you're that hungry, for God's sake.
And don't convince yourself that people's faces taste like chicken. Oh, no! They're much saltier.
Upcoming Events
Besides, without vegetables, human body parts simply don't comprise a balanced meal. If you have to eat someone's leg or ear or taint, at least serve it with some cauliflower and a side salad.
And don't even think of trying to find the right wine!
The whole chianti-and-human-liver trend died out with the Silence of the Lambs franchise, so where does that leave you? With your best friend's arm and nothing to wash it down with.
So how about if you don't eat people at all, OK?
It doesn't go with anything and it's never going to impress the foodies.
If this insane trend keeps up, I'm going to have to open a chain of Soylent Green Cafes.
And then you'll be sorry.

Leaders In Life Conference
Annual youth leadership conference starts Thursday
Christopher Walk-In: PAUL MANAFORT is Vladomir Putin's surrogate to get Trump elected. Putin and Manafort go back a long way. Putin has used Manafort before to get stooges elected and cause civil unrest, weakening countries to Putin's advantage . Manafort was instrumental in Putin' s Crimea and Ukraine invasions by working to help another Kremlin plant, namely Viktor Yanukovych get elected as President of Ukraine. This guy later fled to Rostov in Russia after being exposed as a Kremiln Op. In the upheaval, Yanukovych's election led directly to the political chaos that gave Putin easy access to invade Crimea and Eastern Ukraine. There's no doubt whatsoever that Putin's plan was to take over the whole of Ukraine and more... if not for his fear of NATO. Little wonder about Trump's anti-NATO/ pro-Putin rhetoric. Trump is being groomed to be Putin's stooge and clearly, it's working.

Mary J. Blige's Charity Slapped With Two Lawsuits
Mary J. Blige is hit with two lawsuits at once. The Grammy-winning singer's charity The Mary J. Blige and Steve Stoute Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now is sued by TD Bank over unpaid loan. A group of artists also claimed they were not paid for performing at one of the charity's fundraising events.
TD Bank claimed in its lawsuit that the charity took out $250,000 in June 2011 but only paid $400 so far. The agreement was to pay it all back in December 2011 but the foundation only managed to give the small amount. The bank said they have sent the foundation two written notices in February but got no response.
As for the unpaid salary, a lawyer for the singing group said the checks given to the musicians bounced back. "We got a whole series of checks - rubber," Harvey Mars told NY Post. The lawsuit stated the foundation owed the group a total of $167,252 for wages and penalties.
In addition, reports said the non-profit organization has hundreds of thousands of dollars in missing donations and does not have an office or a valid telephone number.
A rep for Blige told TMZ, "The Mary J. Blige and Steve Stoute Foundation For The Advancement Of Women Now, Inc. (FFAWN) is presently transitioning its management and headquarters. We remain committed to our mandate of helping women gain the confidence and skills necessary to reach their full individual potential."

The third edition of Cynthia Young's College Algebra brings together all the elements that have allowed instructors and learners to successfully "bridge the gap" between classroom instruction and independent homework by overcoming common learning barriers and building confidence in students' ability to do mathematics. Written in a clear, single voice that speaks to students and mirrors how instructors communicate in lecture, Young's hallmark pedagogy enables students to become independent, successful learners.
