INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — I found myself today flashing back to Sunday, Dec. 28, 2008. My beloved Detroit Lions had just lost, 31-21, in Green Bay, the team's umpteenth consecutive loss in Wisconsin — and more importantly (if you want to call it that), its 16th and final loss of the season.
I watched my team, a dejected bunch of athletes shivering on the frozen tundra at Lambeau Field, heads hung low, half-heartedly shaking hands with the likes of Aaron Rodgers and company as they prepared for the longest offseason in the history of professional sports.
I was embarrassed. I knew I was facing perhaps the longest offseason in the history of die-hard fans loving terrible teams (Clippers fans, you can call me any time), as I knew the jokes were coming. Even to this day, while fewer in volume, they haven't stopped. Every lowly Rams fan will find a way...
I was at rock-bottom, I told myself three years ago. My beloved Lions, terrible for decades, save for the 50s/early 60s, and the Barry Sanders era, now held the laughable distinction of worst team in football history, and perhaps of all professional sports.
Until Thursday's 27-15 Lions loss at home in front of a national audience on Thanksgiving to the same Green Bay Packers, I figured there was no way it could get worse.
Hell, Nickleback put on a better show. Even the American Idol gal who fumbled the National Anthem was more impressive. As commentator Joe Buck put it after her near-national gaffe — "it's how you finish."
Not bad advice, Detroit.
Forget the lay-an-egg factor — composed of, but not limited to, 3 interceptions and countless bad passes from Matthew Stafford and 11 frustrating and game-changing penalties for 82 yards — that has the national TV audience complaining yet again about the terrible Lions being undeserving of an annual Turkey Day football game.
And forget the injuries, too. Sure they didn't help — whenever you see a man with the number "82" on his back (no offense to Rashied Davis' athleticism) covering Greg Jennings and Donald Driver, you know you're in trouble.
Still, I'd seen this theater before in a Lions game, and while it hurt to watch, it wasn't foreign. After all, if there is anything the men in Honolulu blue and silver are good at, it's playing poorly and being unlucky.
But one thing we diehard Lions fans never, ever, EVER do — even during the 0-16 season — is lose respect for the passion with which the team plays (notwithstanding our lack of respect for Matt Millen, of course).
Until Thursday, early in the third quarter, when one of my favorite players in football lost control and made a fool out of himself, the Detroit Lions, the team's fans — and the tradition that is Thanksgiving football in Detroit.
Make no mistake, folks — Ndamukong Suh is a dirty football player, and he deserves to be suspended for the rest of this season.
Until yesterday, I felt Suh perhaps was a bit more aggressive on certain hits and plays, and while I agreed with some of the personal fouls hurled his way, in general I felt he and the entire Lions' team got a bad rap for being "dirty." In my mind, I kept thinking back to the late 80s and early 90s, when another Detroit team led by Bill Laimbeer, Dennis Rodman and Isiah Thomas broke the rules and were called a dirty team — a dirty team that eventually toppled the mighty Celtics and Lakers, winning back-to-back titles and going down in history as one of the greatest professional sports teams in history.
I have a feeling, though, that even Bad Boys enforcer Rick Mahorn was shaking his head in disgust after Thursday's national display.
Maybe Suh really feels he did nothing wrong. I tell you though, I would have loved to be a fly on the way when he actually saw the video footage to see his reaction. Because it's indisputable. He blatantly tried to injure a player by slamming his head into the ground — THREE times — and then stomping him with a cleat-covered shoe on his exposed biceps.
The game unraveled from there, both for the team attempting a futile comeback and for me as a fan. I wanted to turn the TV and watch Martha Stewart make a Thanksgiving tablescape or something. I was not inspired to root on my team, and it was obvious some in the stands weren't either. And then, to hear his reaction after the game, denying wrongdoing, it just made it worse.
At least Suh made better contact with Evan Deitrich-Smith's right arm than he did kicking an extra point in the Jets game last year.
But frustrated jokes aside, Ndamukong Suh has a lot of explaining to do, and if the NFL does what I feel is appropriate for punishment, he'll have plenty of time to drive around in a Chrysler 300 to think of a good way to apologize to Deitrich-Smith, the NFL and all Detroit Lions fans.
Considering what we've been through, it's the least he can do.

MARTINSBURG - West Virginia University Hospitals-East City Hospital officials announced today a $50,000 donation by the City Hospital Auxiliary in support of the $3 million Time Saves Lives capital campaign.
In mid-November, WVUH-East officials launched the pubic phase of the major gifts fund raising campaign to solicit community support to assist in underwriting facility and service enhancements at both City Hospital in Martinsburg and Jefferson Memorial Hospital in Ranson.
The funds raised through Time Saves Lives will support the $31.5 million construction program that began in the spring of 2010 at WVUH-East. Projects already partially funded by the campaign include the emergency department, intensive care unit and cardiac cath lab at City Hospital, and the women's imaging center at Jefferson Memorial Hospital.

From our ABAP 6.0 system, we want to use LDAP as datasource.
All we want to do is use LDAP for user authentication from an ABAP system. Is it possible?
User should be able to login to an ABAP system with his/her ldap userid and password.
Any help?
Hello Laxmi,
What is ABAP 6 System? Do you mean ECC 6 system? If yes then you configure LDAP for UME. Check the below notes for more details
188371 Configuring the LDAP Connector
793191 FAQ: User master synchronization with LDAP directories
512230 Notes for using the LDAP transaction
My bad. Yes, we are on ECC 6.0.
We do not want to synchronize any data between LDAP and ABAP.
We already configured the LDAP connector.
All we want is when the user logs in to our ECC system using SAP GUI, they should be able to use their user id and password from LDAP.
Hi my friend
I think you meant to deploy GUI SSO for AD domain users without typing ID/password to access SAP as long as they already log on their PC with AD domain ID.
If your SAP instances run on windows hosts, then it's much easier to make it happen by just a few steps: find necessary crypto library in SWDC and load it, define parameters to activate SNC for AS ABAP, configure SNC tag in SU01 and logon pad. Here's the help link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/0d/482bb8013243f1b6e2439091e3022f/content.htm
But if your SAP runs on UNIX type host, you'll have to customize and generate AD kerberos library and load it by parameter snc/gssapi_lib, and it's OS dependent.
Please refer to thread SAP Using LDAP Authentication [really confusing] where this topic has been detailed discussed.
Please read the FAQ note(793191) Anandh posted, specifically points 5 and 9.
It answers your question.

A Cheektowaga man was arrested early Tuesday in Springville and charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated after being found asleep in a running vehicle at a convenience store, state police said.
Troopers from the police barracks at Machias said they received a report of the running vehicle "with a sleeping operator" parked at the Country Fair on Route 219 about 1:20 a.m.
The operator, Shawn P. Markiewicz, 39, was found to be drunk, and was arrested. He was taken to the Machias barracks, where police determined he had a 0.24 percent blood-alcohol content – more than three times the legal limit, which led to the aggravated DWI charge.
Markiewicz will answer the charge later this month in Springville Village Court.

House Bill 5 could cost Salem money
June 11, 2013
By MARY ANN GREIER Staff Writer SALEM — State Rep....
Three cheers for Mr. Whitehill!!! I think he has some excellent ideas. The people that Mrs. Popa and others wants to see put their junk in a city wide clean up will not do it. They don't have junky looking places because they are so poor they can't afford to dispose of it. They have junky looking places because they love their junk. They are not going to throw it out just because there is a city wide clean up. The only way to get people to clean up their property is to write an ordinance against having junk and debris in your yard then enforce it. If they don't want to live by the rules then they will pay a fine or leave town and take their junk elsewhere. If you want to clean this town up you have to quit making excuses for people and force them to be responsible or else pay the fines. sooner or later they will either clean up or leave town.

I'm seeing a possible loss of $300,000/yr. Are we at all preparing for that possibility? Discussing it and planning for it are two separate things. (I'm not sure relying on this income tax to pay for city operations was a good move anyway) And if our city specifically doesn't allow a business to carry forward a loss, but the bill wants to allow it for 5 years, maybe our city is out of whack. Either way, "that alone would cost the city $250,000 to $300,000 per year in tax receipts" Is this in addition to the $300,000 income tax loss? Prepare for a loss. Relook at what/how we pay for things. Please.

What is your remedy Ladybug? Spending more tax money so people that will not throw their junk out will have an opportunity to do so even though we know they won't do it? I think this city has much bigger problems, that they need to spend the tax dollars on than waste them on a city wide clean up. Things like fixing the streets, bringing the police force up to the numbers they need to do the job, fix the storm sewer problems, replace their aging equipment. The list could go on and on. The city needs to provide the basic services they are obligated to provide before they look to expand and take on any new services.

Gotta say, I agree with what Bug said about tall grass, little enforcement. One real estate agent seems to have places for sale with the tallest grass. But, don't sidetrack from bigger issue--Salem could lose over $300,000 in revenue. What are we doing about that?

Ladybug get your shorts out of a bunch. I wasn't attacking you. I was asking if you had a better idea. I really don't think the taxpayers picking up the tab for a city wide clean up is the answer. To answer your other question about enforcement, we now have two housing inspectors. Instead of them going around inspecting the same rental houses year after year for electrical, railings, fire extinguishers and smoke detector violations they could issue citations for people that have junk laying around in their yards. The same as they should be doing about the grass situation but don't. Is that in their job description? If not I think Council might need to define the inspectors job a little better than it is now. IF these irresponsible people get fined enough they will either clean it up or leave town.

Questioner What is your suggestion for a solution. I personally don't think penalizing a business by not allowing them to get full deduction credit for their losses even if it is over a few years is the way to spark economic development. If a business shuts down how is the loss of jobs from it's closing, going to help? One thing I know for sure is spending money on projects that are not essential to the basic services of the city, certainly is not a solution.

concerned - you have a good idea about the housing inspectors. Go down to city hall on any given day and see if they are really out of their offices!! The 1st guy needed a helper cause he was always in the office doing paperwork....um, yeah, cause he was always in the office and never leaving it, so what paperwork could he be doing? Not anything on his inspections that he wasn't doing!!!

Several of the assertions made in the article are completely unfounded; perhaps the writer can do more research and provide clarifications, instead of just quoting politicians. As an aside, the Ohio Newspaper Association itself is a member of the Municipal Tax Reform Coalition.

Ohio Chambers of Commerce is for the bill. Accountants seem to be for it (for businesses sakes, not for their own). Cities dislike it because "It redefines "taxable income", in many cases significantly reducing tax revenue to cities and villages" (in which case many taxpayers should like it). I think Salem's policy of penalizing businesses with a negative cash flow is wrong. But regardless, I think we should be preparing now to have less money and should not be spending where we don't need to. I suggest planning for less money to work with.

In another article, the mayor raised the pay of our streets foreman $2.45/hour "The increase will take the street foreman's pay to $24.04 per hour and cost the city an additional $196 per pay, which equates to more than $5,000 per year." Is it possible to decrease anyone's pay so we don't have to keep increasing to keep up with the other utility dept personnel/superintendents? I'm saying we need to plan to have less money to work with and act accordingly.
2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Questioner I think the person that wrote the article had an uncorrected typo. 2.45 x 8hrs= $19.60 a day not $196 like the article says, the $5,000 a year is about correct give or take a $100. That is quite a jump in pay all at once. I am sure the employee will be a happy camper.

truth 101 Are your losses greater than 100% of your income? If you happen to own a rental unit a lot of the major permanent improvements not only can be stung out over 5 plus years but they must be. Do you have a problem with the people that write your paychecks every month making a profit? Where is the extra tax money that has to be paid on losses they can't deduct going to come from? I wonder!! Maybe from the available funds to they have to pay employees???

@questioner - you mention the city needs to begin to work with the thought of less money. Let's see what this mayor has done...re-hired a secretary the last mayor did not think was needed. I believe there's more police officers added to the force. Another housing inspector, when the first one does nothing. (ask if they have EVER cited anyone or taken them to court for non-compliance, again the last mayor found no need for 2. Given raises to various employees, not just supervisors, but police officers and street workers. I'm not saying these folks don't deserve an increase to their income as we all know daily expences only increase, never decrease. But, for all his republican wanting smaller government/spend less money, all he does is increase government & spending.

Only city I know that can take a mole hill and turn it into a flipping mountain!!
Contract it out for removal.
USE THE SALEM UTILITIES DEPARTMENT WATER BILL. Charge the residents (as if we should even have to with that SURPLUS sitting there) a few extra bucks a year for a once a year citywide street cleanup.
If they PIGS that Mr. Apple refers to doesn't utilize what they are being charged for...then use ENFORCEMENT, (NO EXCUSE) if they have a way to rid their cluttered filthy homes and yards of junk. Easier to nail these "filthy" people. If they want the water kept on they are going to pay their bill. Look at the extra money the city could collect.
The city isn't using Mr. Whitehill's City money (as if it doesn't belong to the taxpayers, in the first place) and tax dollars will not be used for the service. The City can contract it for a once a year.
1 Agrees | 5 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The problem with that idea watchdog is the money we pay the utilities dept is for water and sewer. If the city keeps adding other services and tacking an extra charge on, that is in all reality a tax increase for city services. By law the city has a maximum amount of tax they can impose without a vote of the people. Salem has already reach that limit. I would certainly not want to see then try to use the utility dept. as a way to raise taxes illegally. It is bad enough that they are raiding that dept. for their interest income as it is. I think they may be skating on thin ice even doing that. The city income tax is for city services it is apparent the taxpayers have said on several occasions (by voting no on a tax increase)just give us the services that 1% tax will buy we are not giving you any more. Just take care of basic needs. Police, fire and streets.

OLEAN – After more than a decade of involvement, Olean Mayor Linda Witte has been appointed to an important committee in the New York State Conference of Mayors and Municipal Officials.
Witte has been named to the group's Nominating Committee. The eight-member panel selects the nominees for seats on the executive committee.
Each year, four members of the 16-member executive committee are up for election.
The executive committee is made up of 15 mayors and one affiliate organization representative.
Witte was named to the position by the president of the committee, Ogdensburg Mayor William Nelson.
Witte has been a part of the state conference since she first started to serve on the Olean Common Council in 2001.
The Nominating Committee will establish the slate of officers to be elected May 6, at the 2013 conference's annual meeting in Saratoga Springs.
The organization represents 582 cities and villages across the state.

Dorchester County Republican Party Chairman Jordan Bryngelson has been indicted on a count of forgery.
Bryngelson, 33, said he learned of the indictment last week and voluntarily accepted service, but that he hasnt seen any documents associated with the case except for the indictment itself.
He referred further questions to his attorney, and closed his brief e-mail with a quotation from Proverbs: The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.
According to the indictment and a Dorchester County Sheriffs Office incident report, a supplier called Blue Line Rental said Bryngelson, as president of Bryngelson Construction, forged a signature on a final lien waiver and presented it to C.F. Evans Construction in June.
Blue Line told the sheriffs office that Bryngelson then received $2,500 that was owed to Blue Line.
State Rep. Chris Murphy, who represents Blue Line, said the case started out as a civil collections case, with Blue Line attempting to collect from Bryngelson Construction, the subcontractor on a job.
However, when Blue Line contacted contractor C.F. Evans to request payment from retainage funds money that a contractor typically holds until its satisfied that the subcontractors have paid their suppliers C.F. Evans informed Blue Line that those funds had been released to the subcontractor, Bryngelson, because he had submitted a lien waiver signed by a representative of Blue Line.
No one at Blue Line knew anything about this, nor had they seen any such document, Murphy said.
The document came from his computer, the name of the individual was misspelled, there were numerous spelling errors throughout the document, the client had never seen or heard of it, Murphy said. At this point I advised the client to get an affidavit of forgery.
Basically, a document was forged and he took $2,500 that he was not entitled to, he said.
Murphy said he could not comment on the criminal investigation, but he was confident that the Dorchester County Sheriffs Office thoroughly investigated the matter.
At the end of the day, we did all we could, Murphy said. We tried to help him. Nobody wanted this, but when a criminal allegation comes up, it ties our hands.
Bryngelsons attorney, Russell Hilton, said he did not yet have any information beyond the indictment as of Wednesday afternoon. He did note that when his client became informed of the situation, he voluntarily went to be served with the indictment and was released on a personal recognizance bond, to which Blue Line did not object.
Bryngelson has long been active in the Republican Party, a family tradition that he is passing on to his young daughter, who has accompanied her parents to party events.
Bryngelson served on the state GOP executive committee, and in 2012 he ran in the primary against Ed Carter for the Statehouse 97 seat.
He emphasized bringing jobs and improved education to the upper county, but Carter emphasized Bryngelsons relative youth.
At the time, Bryngelson was also dealing with the threatened foreclosure of his home.
He said then he had been a victim of the economy, having lost his job at the family construction business, and that he worked hard to pay my bills and be responsible and not back out of the debt I owe.
He said he and his wife worked several jobs to get caught up and that the experience showed he had insight into the struggles of average Americans.
After losing his construction job, Bryngelson worked for a time as an insurance agent.
The rich and retired should not be the only people who serve in public office. Its time for a middle class working American who knows the struggles of everyday life to represent us, he said then.
In any event, he lost to Carter, who then lost in November to incumbent Rep. Patsy Knight.
The foreclosure proceedings, however, appear to live on.
Records show Bryngelson sold the property for $5 in February to SouthStar Capital, a Mt. Pleasant company that provides businesses with working capital to improve cash flow. Although the transfer was signed in February, it wasnt recorded in the Register of Deeds office until May.
According to a June notice of sale, a Special Referee intended to sell the property to the highest bidder at the Dorchester County Courthouse on July 14.
The house was destroyed by fire July 7. No one was home at the time.
In addition to his political activity, Bryngelson had also recently been appointed to the Dorchester County Sales Tax Authority. Ironically, Dorchester County Council voted Tuesday to revamp the DCTA. It reduced the authority to seven members instead of nine and wiped the membership slate clean; council members agreed every authority member position would be up for a vote at the Sept. 15 meeting.
Dorchester County Council Chairman Bill Hearn, who said he learned of the situation Wednesday afternoon, expressed his shock and concern. He also said that, given the situation, Bryngelson would most likely not be reappointed to the DCTA.
Councilman David Chinnis, who appointed Bryngelson to DCTA, said he learned of the situation Wednesday, the day after council voted to revamp the DCTA.
I am very shocked by this whole thing, he said.
Chinnis said he had been planning to meet with Bryngelson to see how he felt about serving on DCTA and if he had time for it. However, given the turn of events, it would be unlikely that he would reappoint Bryngelson.
I believe a person is innocent until proven guilty, but this (DCTA) is not going to be first and foremost in his mind, he said. We need someone who will be able to focus on the road projects.

Not cheap, but very comfortable. I like that it puts the clips "outside" the gun and spreads the load around a bit. The clips are also interchangeable with Comp-tac units, so you can go with less obtrusive clips if you ever intend to carry with a tucked-in shirt.

My vote goes for the Comptac - MTAC. It is comfortable, affordable - but not cheap, well made, solid 1 year warranty, and the customer service is absolutely top notch. Plus you usually get it within a week.
I've had mine for about 10 months and it has served me well. I can tuck my shirt in if needed and at the 4:00 position, it really disappears on me. I have the standard clips as well as the V clips and with the V-clips you really can tuck your shirt and nobody has a clue.
The only thing I wish it had was a spare mag holder attached some way, but that would probably be too bulky.

I just got mine 2 weeks ago for my CZ-75 Compact. Ordered it on Sunday, and it arrived that Friday. So far no complaints. I'm still getting used to an IWB, and it feels like I print like a madman (especially tucked) but trusted sources tell me it's pretty good. Also, they're very "tweakable".

Most men find it comfortable and concealable, but women are shaped differently and it might not work for you.
I recommend you experiment with this position a little bit before you spend money on an IWB holster.
You can stick the pistol in a tight pair of jeans "Mexican Style" to see how it works for you. Put it in the same place and at the same angle that an IWB would hold it. Use a good belt to support the weight.
Now walk around a bit and move like you would during your normal day.
Does it lay flat against your body, or stick out? How does it fit under your arm when you walk? Can you draw it? Does it fit under normal clothes or will it require special clothing to make it conceal?
You might not want to run around out in public without a real holster securing your pistol, but you will be able to see if this mode of carry is suitable for you.
A woman's waist is higher than a man's, and her hips are rounder.(Thank goodness!)
This usually puts the pistol in a position where it's either sticking out like a flagpole or almost in the armpit.
Neither of these conditions is suitable for comfortable carry, ease of draw, or concealment.

My wife read every word on the cornered cat website.
IWB only works for her with an appendix holster and small gun.
She uses a Colt Mustang. When she really feels like she needs a bigger gun, she puts a shoulder strap on her Wilderness Safepacker and carries it like a purse.

I carry an XD9sc. I got this IWB holster from Kramer leather today. I'm not ready to review it but I will say it's comfortable. I can't re-holster w/ one hand, but that wasn't an issue w/ me. Once I've had it longer I'll post a review of it.

...at what position you will carry the pistol, I strongly encourage you to read my Holster Selection (http://www.spw-duf.info/holster.html) page, with an emphasis on the section on Belt Holsters for Women.
If you are one of the slim women who can carry in the FBI position, the Milt Sparks Versa Max 2 is an outstanding design for a pistol that places a lot of its weight in the butt, due to the use of a staggered-column magazine. However, for most women behind the hip is not an optimal carry location and the rake or tilt of this (and many other designs) is intended for use behind the hip. The rake must match the location on the belt where you will wear the holster.

My wife designed an IWB holster for women that has become quite popular among women with an hourglass figure. It was designed to work with a woman whose wide hips and narrow waist make a man's holster uncomfortable. We run a small business doing custom holsters for concealment.

If you find one you like check out WWW.GUNNERSALLEY.COM for the best price. They carry many of the main brands and have good prices and great customer service.

Ditto on the Grandfather Oak stuff.
August 9, 2008, 11:12 PM
That grandfather oak stuff looks pretty solid. Does anyone else notice that practically all of the holster sites do not have Witness, as a brand, listed as what will fit their particular brand of holster? loop tells me (http://thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=371406) that most anything that fits a sig p220 or a Beretta 92 will fit the Elite Match, but I'm still a bit skeptical. I'll end up getting one for either already mentioned. I just thought it was weird that Witness always gets left off of the list.

Only problem with this one is that it is a little hard to draw until the leather gets worn in a little. Other than that its great. I can conceal it with just a t-shirt.

I understand, in today's climate especially, backorders are a fact of life. However, I am STILL waiting for a Don Hume holster I purchased from gunner's alley at the begining of December. My cc was charged, per their policy....then.....nothing. I had to email them a month later to be sure my order was recieved, and again in 2 more months, when i STILL hadn't recieved my order. My last communication with them stated my order was estimated to go out April 17th. I basically had to pry any updates about my order status out of them, and feel its wrong for them to charge my CC, and then not bother delivering a product for 1/3 of a year after they've recieved payment for said item. Supposedly, it was a delay at Don Hume, but I still think its iresponsible to conduct business in such a matter, and they should have at least contacted me regarding the order status, rather than me having to press them for info. Had the holster I wanted been availble elsewhere, my order would have been cancelled long ago. AS it stands now, every day I'm waiting is one more day I'm unarmed, as this was the first "concealement" holster I purchased after recieving my permit at the end of November. I never thought it would be MAY before I was actually carrying on my person.
April 23, 2009, 04:32 AM
To be fair, I was informed today that the holster I ordered at the beginning of December has now supposedly been shipped.....only roughly 5 months after I was charged for it.

I would personally recommend a Crossbreed Supertuck or a similar Comp-Tac.
They are extremely adjustable and if you go with the Crossbreed there is a two week trial and a money back guarantee.
It took about two weeks to get mine.

I've got three IWBs--a Milt Sparks VersaMax II, a Comp-Tac MTAC, and a Galco Ultra Deep Cover. The VersaMax is sized for my Glock 26, and the other two work with the 26 or my Glock 23.
The Galco is super easy to use--slip it over your waistband, loop it under your belt, tuck in your shirt (blouse?) and you're ready to go.
The VersaMax is beautifully crafted, but when using the Kydex clips (as opposed to leather loops), a absolute bear to get on or off--the clips are so tightly tensioned that it literally takes me three or four minutes to get it on and positioned properly.
The MTAC, while not as "rich" looking as the VersaMax, is equally well made. It's perhaps a bit thinner and more comfy, and is about as easy to put on as the Galco. However, the "C" clips are somewhat more noticeable than the other two.
Overall, I like the MTAC the best. This really pains me to say, because the VersaMax is so purty (and I had to wait forever to get it after I ordered it). I may try the V-clips from Comp-Tac, just to see if I can achieve a bit more concealment, but of the three the MTAC works best for me.
The folks at Comp-Tac have just come out with a close relative of the MTAC that is supposed to work well for women: http://www.comp-tac.com/product_info.php?products_id=114.

I have an IWB for my 442 and am extremely happy with it. Took about 4 weeks from the time I ordered it until it was on my hip.

I'm a fan of UBG Holsters. Very good quality for a reasonable price. You also wont get charged until your order is almost complete.

I now have what I ordered, and while impressed with the product, I won't be ordering from Gunner's Alley again. When (non custom) orders take closer to 6 months to complete than 6 weeks, theres a problem somewhere. Again, I did get what I ordered, and I'm happy with the product. That being said, it was my first and last order with them. I'll test the waters elsewhere next time I have a holster to purchase. I've purchased two holsters online...one, a custom job for my Browning Buckmark with a red dot on it. I sent pics and measurements to the maker, and in a week, I had a custom holster, made to specs, in my mailbox. Alternatively, I ordered a "catalog" holster from GA, and was left waiting for months on end before I finally got it. Why is it a quality custom order can be filled in days, while it takes months to recieve what was supposedly a catalog item?

SHENANDOAH JUNCTION - The state rankings held sway during Saturday's Potomac Valley Conference wrestling tournament.
The three highest-ranked teams in the WVmat.com poll finished 1-2-3.
Washington, the No. 5-ranked Class AAA team, defended its championship, with No. 8 Musselman coming in second and Class AA/A No. 9 Keyser finishing third.

Journal photo by Rick Kozlowski
Berkeley Springs' Matt Parkinson, top, wrestles Washington's Ashby Heath in the 220-pound championship match during Saturday's Potomac?Valley?Conference wrestling tournament in Shenandoah Junction. Parkinson took the win.
Both the Patriots and Applemen, who went to the final individual match of a dual meet Wednesday with Washington finishing on top, managed four champions. The Patriots had five runners-up, compared with the Applemen's four.
Washington, which scored 237 points to Musselman's 227, wound up up with placewinners in all 14 weight classes, while the Applemen missed one spot and finished with 13 medalists.
"I wish we could've won more (championships)," said Washington coach Codie Gustines, who was named conference coach of the year. "We won four; three other matches could've gone the other way. We lost one in overtime, two points in another and one in another.
"Three could've gone either way."
In finals matches between wrestlers from the two teams, Musselman and Washington finished 2-2.
"I'm pleased," Musselman coach Dennis Burlingame said. "It was a 10-point spread. We're hanging tough.
"We got some bonus points. I'm sure Washington was getting more."
Ty Reynolds, Tyler Cross, Jarod Jones and Dylan Ceravalo won individual titles for the Patriots, with Reynolds and Cross claiming wins over Musselman's Ryan Keckley and Kody Kernan, respectively.
Reynolds (106 pounds) managed a pin in 2 minutes, 35 seconds, while Cross (132) decisioned Kernan 6-2.
Jones and Ceravalo also won by fall, with Jones defeating Chris Jarrett of Hedgesville in the final minute of the 138 match and Ceravalo winning over Jacob Mellott of Keyser in the final seconds of the first period at 160.
Musselman's champions included P.J. Dolan at 113, Bradley DeRito at 120, Cody Spinks at 152 and David Stas at 182.
Dolan pinned Jefferson's Wyatt Phillips in 1:01; DeRito posted a 9-0 major decision over Tyler Sigler of Washington; Spinks delivered a 14-2 major decision over Jefferson's Chris Yenchko; and Stas nipped Washington's R.J. Wilson 5-3 in overtime.
Matt Parkinson of Berkeley Springs and Ashby Heath of Washington delivered an exceptionally exciting match at 220. Parkinson scored four points in the final five seconds to snap a 1-1 tie and win 5-1.
Billy Wilson also won a championship for the Indians when he decisioned Todd Williams of Musselman 3-1 at 126.
Mike Cicchino landed Hedgesville's lone championship at 145 pounds after an 11-4 decision over Mark Becraft of Washington.
The Eagles finished fourth, just three points behind Keyser, which had 161 points.
Jefferson scored 129 for fifth and was followed by Martinsburg (117), Berkeley Springs (99), Petersburg (35), Moorefield (18) and Frankfort (17).
Cody Rodeheaver and Derek Wilt recorded championships for Keyser. Rodeheaver had a 10-2 major decision over Zane Bradbury of Washington and Wilt pinned Martinsburg's Joey Fernandez in 5:17.
Lane Harder's pin in 1:28 earned him a win over Musselman's Tyler Bucklew for Musselman at 1:28.
"The kids wrestled well," Gustines said. "A couple of the kids in the consolations didn't give up. They came through and wrestled hard. As you could tell by the points, those guys wrestled hard.
"I was expecting it to be close, just like the dual. Both of us are strong teams who knew we'd have a lot make it to the finals. They had eight; we had nine."
And Washington had the championship in the end.

Rocky Mountain-region patients living with Acid Reflux disease, also known as GERD, have welcome relief – literally and figuratively – at the hands of Swedish Medical Center's Reginald Bell, M.D.
Bell is the only physician in the region performing a new procedure in patients suffering from this debilitating disease. It's known as the LINX® Reflux Management procedure. Acid Reflux, or GERD as it is sometimes called, is a chronic and often life-long condition in which the acidic liquid content of one's stomach regurgitates back into the esophagus. Inflaming the lining of the esophagus, it leaves patients with an intense burning sensation. While medication can help in less serious cases, for many, there is no relief, until now.
The LINX® System is a minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure that implants a series of interlinked titanium beads with magnetic cores into the esophagus just above the stomach. The magnetic attraction between the beads augments the existing esophageal sphincter's barrier function to prevent reflux.
According to Bell, who has performed the procedure on a handful of Denver-area patients, the LINX treatment is a good choice for patients who are in the early stages of GERD.
"We are excited to be able to offer the LINX as a therapeutic option to patients with GERD," Bell says. "I am amazed at the number of patients with GERD who are unaware that there are options other than taking a pill for the rest of their lives! We have worked to become specialists in the diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment of GERD, and were honored when Torax asked us to be their initial site for the Rocky Mountain region."
Swedish Medical Center patient Cindy Bledsoe, 57, was the ideal candidate for the LINX implant, says Bell because she had medically resistant symptoms and early reflux. She did not have a hiatal hernia and only mild increases in esophageal acid exposure. In this setting, he says, a minimally-invasive procedure with a low risk/side effect profile is desirable. Bledsoe, a first grade teacher, was plagued by a continuous and chronic cough, often appearing as if she was choking at times. In addition, her oxygen saturation level was at 88 percent and doctors advised her that being significantly overweight contributed to her health problems. Several doctors and tests later, Bledsoe was referred to Bell, who performed the LINX procedure on her in October.
"Before the procedure, acid reflux/GERD controlled my life. And the cough was actually scary for my first grade students," Bledsoe says. "Immediately after the LINX procedure, however, the cough went away and my oxygen levels went back up to between 96-98 percent."
Bledsoe calls the decision to have the LINX procedure "life changing," and has been removed from some of her pre-diagnosis medications as a result.
"LINX was designed specifically for this group of patients whose symptoms are not controlled adequately by medication and who do not have big hiatal hernias, bad esophagitis or other things we see with more advanced disease," Bell says of the device manufactured by Torax® Medical, Inc. The LINX System is currently the only available device for the treatment of GERD approved by the FDA through its rigorous PMA process. It is indicated for patients who have problems with reflux despite medication, who have a hiatal hernia of less than three centimeters and who have fairly normal esophageal motility. Like other patients with pacemakers and some other implants, patients with the LINX procedure should not have an MRI, but can have alternative imaging procedures such as CT scans.
Symptoms of GERD include heartburn, regurgitation, cough and chest pain. Acid suppression drugs, such as Prevacid®, Nexium®, and Prilosec® affect gastric acid production but do not repair the sphincter defect and allow continued reflux. GERD can progress to a pre-cancerous condition known as Barrett's esophagus and possibly esophageal cancer. Approximately seven percent of adults in western countries suffer daily from symptoms of GERD.
According to Bell, in a clinical trial of 100 patients, 92 percent of patients achieved freedom from daily dependence on PPIs, 90 percent of patients experienced a reduction in total acid exposure time, 93 percent of patients achieved significant symptom improvement and the percent of patients reporting moderate to severe regurgitation was reduced from 57 percent to one percent after the LINX procedure.

The Stetson men's varsity four+ of stroke Andrew Rouse, Jack Ulriksen, Jackson Reddick, bow David Nutting and coxswain Angelo Parkinson will compete in the 2014 SIRA Regatta in Oak Ridge, Tenn. on Friday and Saturday.
The team is looking forward to the chance to race the fastest competition from around the eastern half of the United States. The event has 31 Men's V4+'s entered from all over the country. Last year's winner was Florida Tech with a time of 6:33. Florida was also in the final in 2013 and Stetson will be racing Florida, Georgia Tech, Wichita State, Embry Riddle and Alabama in the first heat race at 5:02 p.m. Friday afternoon.
"The boys have been really clicking along and after a little hiccup at the FIRA are raring to race," head coach Mark Wilson said. "James Dietz, assistant coach, has been mentoring these boys all season and if anyone knows how to race in big events it is James. James was third at the US 1x trials for the Olympic Games in 2012."
The men's four is a very competitive event at the SIRA as many of the larger teams will race this event as either their 2nd or 3rd priority boat, but many teams like Stetson will come to the regatta with the four as a priority. With 31 teams racing during the weekend each boat will race three times through a series of heats, semifinals and finals. Stetson is poised to have a great heat and progress to one of the A/B Semis.
Results can be followed at the website www.siraregatta.com or www.regattacentral.com
The women's team, meanwhile, will be hitting Lake Pickett on Saturday morning and doing a workout/race pieces with UCF on their home course. Stetson is thrilled to be on the water with a local but very fast team in preparation for the MAAC conference regatta on April 26.

Sorry! Sorry! This has been bugging the SHIT out of me of late because I see it all the time and now, when I see it, my eye is starting to twitch.
"I could care less"
I see this a shit-ton.
It doesn't mean what you think it means. If you say "I could care less", you obviously care an awful lot because it's possible for you to CARE LESS. Care Less > Not Caring.
The phrase you are looking for is "I could NOT care less". This phrase indicates your care for something is so miniscule as to be nonexistent.
Thank you for your time and don't forget your punctuation!

Fingers: Torn A3 and A4 Pulleys
I was pulling on a small side pull in an open-handed grip with marginal feet and heard a loud pop. After that my left ring finger felt unsupported and I couldn't weight it. There was a dull ache between the middle and last joint of my finger, which has since subsided to a slight pain. If it is a rupture of the A3 or A4 pulley [the slips of tissue that hold the flexor tendons close to the bones], is it necessary to see an orthopedic surgeon? Can I just go skiing for the winter and forget about it?
Adrenalated rockandice.com Forum
Oh, joy, popping noises. This typically indicates the full monty of pulley damage. Though one rupture is foire standard, it is quite possible to rupture several: KA POW!
If it is A4, it is impossible to protect with taping, and climbing is not advisable for a good month or so. The A3 is easier to protect, hence the prospect of climbing is more tenable (see Bum Wraps, the truth about finger taping; No. 148).
Reconstructive surgery? Don't bother. Anecdotally, surgery doesn't appear to offer more than conservative treatment. I have seen climbers rupture A2, A3 and A4 in one foul interplanetary misalignment, and still return to their previous redlining best, plus some (and I am talking well into the 5.14 grade, or above V13).
Go and chase some snow bunnies if you haven't caught one already. Do a little skiing and start back slowly next season.

7 People Who Need to Get Out of the Freaking Way
#3. People Who Must Always Stay Parallel to Their Walking Companions
Seanbaby once described a row of pedestrians walking straight at you as the '94 Knicks, who seem to relish the thought of running you down.
The Jeremy Lin Knicks would have apologized.
There's also a lot of walking walls out there that do make some effort to try to avoid you, but in the stupidest way possible. Instead of one or two people in the group dropping back behind the others, everyone in the row moves to one side and tries to squeeze together as tightly as possible without breaking formation. Under no circumstances can any person in the row be allowed to move more than 3 inches forward or back from the line, lest the delicate mind-link between them be broken.
No matter how closely they cuddle, four people in a row are still pretty much impassable on a sidewalk. The kicker is when they just stare helplessly at you and shrug, like, "Hey, we're doing our best. I have no idea what else you could possibly expect from us. There is literally nothing else we could do to move out of your way." Then, when you stumble off to the side into the mud, or a brick wall, or off an embankment, they just look apologetically at you like it was one of the great unavoidable tragedies of life, like a freak natural disaster or something.
I realize the hive mind link explanation only applies in a small percentage of cases, when the pedestrians in question are actual human replicants in the service of the shadow government's lizard masters, but most of the pedestrians I've seen doing this lack the telltale transmitter node on the back of their neck.
In the case of genuine humans, the only excusable explanation is that their conversations are so vital that they cannot be broken for the five seconds it would take for a walker or two to drop back a moment and return to the line. So I guess they're all about to propose to someone or broker some kind of peace treaty.
#2. People Who Leave Two Seats Between Them at Airports
A lot of people complain about how unfriendly and mistrustful we've become these days and how we should all be chatting up strangers more or something. This is bullshit. Everyone knows strangers are gross and have cooties and nobody wants to sit next to one, especially in an airport.
So everybody goes to great lengths to leave at least one seat between themselves and a stranger when they sit down in an airport lounge, or any other public place with unassigned seating. Fair enough. But unless the stranger is very obese or emitting some kind of poison cloud, one seat should be fine. It's just gratuitous to leave two spaces. And it fills things up pretty fast, leaving new arrivals with no place to sit.
In the illustration above, if they weren't so greedy and just gave themselves one seat's worth of buffer (which is plenty for preventing cootie transmission), the fifth passenger could find herself a seat as well without having to risk touching anyone.
The same goes for anywhere else -- bus benches or waiting rooms or wherever. Just leave enough space so there's no way you can accidentally touch the person, nor can they "accidentally" touch you by using the old movie theater yawning trick. You don't need to be so far away you can't recognize them, or even tell whether they are men or women.
#1. People Who Spontaneously Start Conversations in High-Traffic Areas
Everyone's familiar with situations where blockages can be a huge pain for hundreds of people, like a packed, busy sidewalk, or a crowd exiting a sports stadium. In fact, the Romans had a word for a stadium exit area -- vomitorium -- that paints it as the stadium "vomiting" its audience out into the streets. And as everyone knows, blocking vomit on its way out is not pretty.
That's why it's infuriating when people spontaneously happen upon an old friend in the middle of such a crowd and decide to catch up on everything that has happened in the past 10 years right then and there, in the middle of a narrow hallway full of people trying to get past.
There's nothing wrong with taking the time to connect with someone, or even with suddenly discovering you had a very interesting joke to tell the person you were already walking with, but what's maddening is that these people are so excited they can't move it to the side. You don't even have to miss one moment of what happened after your friend left for the Peace Corps, he's actually made a recent discovery that it's possible to talk while walking 10 feet to the wall.
The icing on the cake is when these two people get so excited about their travel adventures or spontaneous ideas that they start calling other people over. Sure, when people start grouping up in the middle of a high-traffic walkway, it's "socializing," but when blood cells start grouping up in one of your brain arteries, they call it a "stroke." Either we can stop being so cavalier about obstructing other people, or we can stop being so judgmental toward blood cells, either way.

Bebe au Lait Nursing Covers ... chic and discreet for the nursing mother.
Bebe au Lait Nursing Covers are an award-winning nursing accessory that provide a chic and sophisticated way to nurse discreetly. Nursing in public has never been this easy - or beautiful! The Bebe Au Lait nursing cover is easy to use with an adjustable neck strap and a unique boning that keeps the cover open at the neckline so that mother and baby can continuously make eye contact while nursing - an essential part of mother and child bonding & attachment. With a nursing cover-up a mother can breastfeed in public without feeling self-conscious, and for some, this can mean the difference between a successful nursing relationship or the end of one.
Available with the Bebe au Lait label, the Hooter Hider label or in an organic design called Simple nursing covers.
Why you'll love Bebe au Lait Nursing Covers:
- Easy to use! Bebe au Lait is a patent pending, award-winning design.
- Mom looks chic and sophisticated while nursing discreetly.
- No need to feel modest while nursing in public - a Bebe au Lait provides stylish privacy.
- Unique rigid neckline allows for ventilation, as well as direct eye contact with baby.
- Nursing covers stay put unlike blankets that are always falling off "exposing" mama & baby.
- Completely adjustable, one-size design fits any size nursing mother.
- Compact enough to fit in a purse or diaper bag. It's always ready in a pinch.
- Breast feed anywhere with confidence and ease.
- Generous sizing keeps mommy completely covered during breastfeeding.
- Patented stiffening system in the neckline also prevents fabric abrasion, making it the safest nursing cover on the market!
- Convenient pocket in the bottom underside corner to stash a pacifier or breast pads.
- Terry cloth pocket also doubles as a wipe for discreet clean up of spit up or breast milk.
- Has a multitude of uses! Makes a great lightweight blanket, or use for protection against the elements.
- Lightweight & breathable 100% cotton or 100% organic cotton & linen.
- Machine wash and tumble dry.
- Made in the USA.
The Bebe au Lait Cover has Many Uses
We love Bebe au Lait nursing covers as they are not only beautiful and practical but they also offer flexibility and versatility. This is one baby product that will go a LONG way.
Use your Bebe au Lait Nursing Cover for…
- Discreet nursing. Enjoy this special time with baby - anywhere.
- A lightweight cover-up when baby is sleeping.
- Shielding baby from over stimulation or distractions when out and about.
- Covering baby up with any baby sling or baby carrier.
- Protection against the sun in a baby carrier or stroller.
- Protection against the wind or other outdoor elements.
- Covering up when mom is pumping at work or in public.
- A blanket when baby needs a clean place to lay down.
- An emergency change pad.
Breastfeeding is something to be proud of. For those of us who are not as comfortable breastfeeding in public, Bebe au Lait has got you covered - and in style. Nursing covers make a unique and practical pregnancy gift or baby shower gift.
With the elegant and fashion-forward designs by Bebe au Lait, it's easy to nurse anywhere and everywhere with pride. Nursing in public is a challenge many mothers face when they first begin their nursing adventure with a new little one. With a Bebe at Lait nursing cover your baby is surrounded by it's own private curtain-like environment while the cover-up is also securely attached to mom. Swinging arms and little kicking feet will not be able to pull this nursing cover off to expose your...dignity. And baby is less distracted as your little one's eyes are only on mom, so your baby can easily concentrate on the task at hand.
The Hooter Hider by Bebe au Lait is available in an array of fabulous prints and solids, from the simple and sophisticated to the loud and proud. Nurse discreetly and in style! The Bebe au Lait nursing cover is touted as a "Mommy Must-Have" by mothers, celebrities, and medical professionals. Bebe au Lait nursing covers are sought after by breastfeeding moms everywhere.
We believe breastfeeding is beautiful. We also know that many new mothers are modest, and nursing in public may be uncomfortable for you. Nursing covers help to alleviate this nervousness, and provide the new mother with a way to feel beautiful and proud nursing without having to worry about the wandering eyes of passerby's. Being able to nurse your baby in comfort and privacy whether you are on a plane, spending time with friends and family or out at a restaurant with your partner is important for any mother.
Nursing Covers Help Mom Gain Confidence with Breastfeeding
For many new mothers breastfeeding in public causes apprehension and a nursing cover-up may help ease these feelings as they provide a safe, discreet and comfortable way to nurse baby without feeling self-conscious.A positive start to breastfeeding can be a trying task. While nationally 73% of new mothers will at least initiate breastfeeding, more than 40% of nursing mothers in Canada will stop before their baby is three months old. These statistics are staggering. Heath Canada recommends exclusively nursing for the first 6 months of a new baby's life and continuing to breastfeed up to two years and beyond (Heath Canada Breastfeeding Recommendations).
A mother that is too modest or embarrassed to breastfeed in the company of others may choose to supplement with bottles or formula when they are not in the comfort of home. This may cause numerous issues that could risk an otherwise successful nursing relationship such as a reduction in milk supply, the increased possibility of pain from engorgement, and nipple confusion. With Bebe au Lait nursing covers you can breastfeed anywhere with confidence and ease. Nursing covers provide privacy during breastfeeding while allowing eye contact between mom and baby. They take the anxiousness out of breastfeeding in public - and mom looks chic and sophisticated while doing so!
As proud breastfeeding advocates we are so pleased to be offering the Hooter Hider by Bebe au Lait through our online catalogue of fabulous finds to help the nursing mother.
Breastfeeding in public with ease, comfort & style.
WARNING: As this product is designed for use in close proximity to your baby's face, please exercise caution. Monitor your baby during use to ensure that the nursing cover does not interfere with baby's breathing. Never leave a baby unattended with the nursing cover as the neck straps could pose a strangulation hazard. Supervision is always required.
Bebe au Lait or Hooter Hider Nursing Covers?
Hooter Hiders was the original nursing cover-up company - the "baby" of the husband and wife team behind the brand. As the nursing covers grew in demand, mom and dad wanted their baby to grow up into a chic company and she needed a name to fit her style - Bebe au Lait. An already loyal following protested that the name Hooter Hiders stay - 'it will always be the Hooter Hider to us' they said. So, mom and dad decided to offer the same product with a choice of logo - Hooter Hiders for tongue-in-cheek and Bebe au Lait for mama chic. We offer both brands of the award-winning nursing covers, Bébé au Lait and Hooter Hiders. Please note: there is no difference between the brands except for the name on the labels - they are the exact same fashionable, high-quality product. Whether you choose a 100% cotton printed Bebe au Lait or Hooter Hider nursing cover, or a 100% certified organic cotton linen nursing cover from their new Simply Organic line, Bebe au Lait nursing covers won't let you down.
Nursing Covers make a Great Gift
There are a few products that a new mother would be delighted to have, but few will purchase for themselves. Nursing covers are one such item. Do you know a nursing mom that is nervous taking her baby out in public? Does she get anxious when entertaining, or even worse, simply not go out anymore now that a new baby is on the scene? Help a new or expecting mother loose her apprehensions about nursing in public. Bebe au Lait nursing covers will give a new mother a great start in building the nursing relationship with her little one and help her gain confidence with breastfeeding in public. If you know a mother-to-be that is hoping to breast feed her new little one, this is one gift that will help her feel comfortable nursing anywhere.

Great product - a must have! Review by Amanda
Quality Price Value
Love my nursing cover and find it so useful when breastfeeding my little guy in public or when visiting others' homes and want a little privacy but don't want to leave the room and conversation! :-) It's easy to put on and take off with one hand and allows me to keep an eye on the little one without having to fuss with blankets or keep peeking under the cover.Would you recommend this product to a friend? Yes
My only complaint is the patterns are very busy (didn't know about the solid organic ones when I got it - we have polka dots) and my little guy is extremely distracted by the patterns about half-way through his feed now - he's almost 4 months old. I find he spends more time touching the cover and looking around at the colours and patterns than concentrating on the task at hand once his tummy gets a bit full. Wish I had gotten a plain one! :-) (Posted on 11/25/10)
Fave baby purchase Review by SISMA
Price Value Quality
I purchased this and I use it just about every time I go out: airport, airplane, mall, people's houses...... I am plus-sized and there is ample fabric to keep me and my baby modestly covered. I have also used it as a blanket, stroller cover, sunshade, and emergency changing pad. If you intend to breastfeed in public, this is a must-have. (Posted on 1/20/12)
Fun breastfeeding 'cover' Review by Lorraine
Quality Price Value
A great product for women who want privacy while breastfeeding in public, or for babies who are easily distracted during feeds. Lots of fun patterns and the shape allows baby and mommy to have eye contact during nursing. A simple product but very effective. (Posted on 7/1/10)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Yes
Not a necessity but nice to have Review by Shelagh
Price Value Quality
I'm generally comfortable nursing in public without a cover. However, these can be great for a baby who's distracted by a lot of people or movement and won't settle down to nurse if you're out in a busy place.Would you recommend this product to a friend? In the right circumstance.
They're also great if you need to wear a dress, which usually necessitates pulling one side down and is a lot less discreet than lifting a shirt. I know there are great nursing dresses out there but they can be awfully pricy and having a cover means you can wear whatever dress strikes your fancy without having to worry about how you'll feed your baby in public.
The best part is being able to see the baby while nursing - I had an infant who liked to pop off and re-latch about a million times per feeding, and not being able to see what I was doing would have made it impossible.
Long story short, I don't see these as necessary if your baby budget is already tight, but they can be nice to have for certain circumstances (or if you just personally like a little more privacy). Pretty, too! (Posted on 1/3/11)
Helped me for quite a while Review by Michelle
Price Value Quality
I was not shy about nursing in public, but I didn't like baring my post-baby belly to the whole world, and this helped as well when I was in certain settings (work meetings, or with my dad who couldn't stay in the room otherwise) when it just made things easier. The neck is great to allow you to check your latch, etc. I had another cover before this one, and it was terrible - I couldn't see anything, and it was too small. This one is nice and big.Would you recommend this product to a friend? Yes
I had a plain white one - no distracting patterns here!
I almost forgot - loved the pocket for my breast pads - I had to wear them forever, and it was always awkward to figure out where to put them. (Posted on 1/4/11)

From 'Dallas' to saving lives: local Janimation studio creates CPR video for American Heart Association
I can't think of a better song than the Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive" for the new Hands-Only CPR video from the American Heart Association which shows how to save a life in one captivating animated minute.
What's cool is that much more than being a clever sound bite, the song is actually the "near-perfect rate for doing chest compressions during CPR," according to the campaign, which emphasizes two easy steps:
If you see a teen or adult suddenly collapse, call 9-1-1 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest to the beat of the Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive."
The geniuses behind the video, which launched in June, represent one of Dallas' best kept secrets, too — the Emmy award-winning Janimation studios, a CGI and live action specialist that has produced visual effects and animation for everything from the TNT's hit Dallas series to innumerable advertisements, video games and movies, from Spy Kids 2 to Night at the Museum: Battle for the Smithsonian to last year's Hugo.
I toured Janimation last month with its CEO and Chief Creative Director Steve Gaçonnier and was fascinated to see not only their current group of professionals at work on their computers and drawing boards, but the clever, stop-motion mini-films by the kids that attended its first ever camp programs that they held this summer.
Still, exciting as it was to hear about their upcoming projects (it looks as if they'll be working on an episode for Dallas in its second season as well, yes!), with all I've learned and written about regarding those critical seconds that can mean life or death after cardiac arrest, I have to say that I recommend the Hands-Only CPR video as their most important must-see to date. The AHA evidently agrees and has plans to vary the people's clothing, background and languages to localize it for different countries.

I was wrong. A common enough occurrence, to be sure (so, to be accurate, is its opposite). But the more I think about Rob Thomas' upcoming "Veronica Mars" movie, the more it seemed to me that it really didn't matter a hoot and a holler if the bloody thing were any good at all when it opens in 2014. The fact that a movie was financed this way – by TV fans from a Kickstarter campaign – is glorious, truly glorious.
And then I saw the "Veronica Mars" trailer online that was shown last week at the beginning of the current Comic-Con convention in San Diego.
That's it. I'm sold. It looks pretty good – rather more full of Veronica's boyfriends and male suitors than I'd prefer, but, hey, all those Kickstarter contributors no doubt ponied up their offerings because they wanted to see more than a little about her post-pubescent social life.
I was enormously fond of the show for Veronica's precocious rat-a-tat wisecracks – as if TV had given us a sort of weekly mini-Jean Arthur – but especially for the way she bounced those off of her father, Keith, played by Enrico Colantoni with the delight of a father who has discovered that his daughter is the cleverest, pluckiest and most delightful person he knows.
For those who never watched "Veronica Mars," it went like this: Keith Mars was a disgraced ex-cop and private investigator, and Veronica was his teen daughter, de facto business partner and the possessor of wiles and resources that would be utterly terrifying in a family if they weren't all turned to helping poor struggling Dad out.
The essential charm of "Veronica Mars" was her relationship with her father, not with her spoiled-brat beaux and male groupies. But then, obviously, I was looking at the show through the eyes of a father with a clever, plucky and delightful grown daughter.
So, no, that can't really be duplicated when the movie rejoins a grown Veronica still played by the wonderful actress Kristin Bell, whose best-known role these days is the hard R-rated consultant on Matthew Carnahan's "House of Lies."
But sometimes you just have to stop dead, look at the ceiling and spend a few minutes contemplating the criminally obvious.
Like now, for instance.
How bloody cool is it, after all, that the writer/creator and cast of a TV cult favorite can decide that their characters need another run through the spin cycle and that the fans will joyfully pay for it?
Imagine it. Here is a Hollywood where every week seems to bring us some new CGI-packed extravaganza costing at least $150 million ("The Wolverine" is the one opening Friday for those who can muster up any interest) and where Steven Spielberg, no less, is actually warning that all those blockbusters could yet lead to wholesale industrial catastrophe if too many of them tank in a row without saving international box office (as "The Lone Ranger" has).
Amid all that, fans – fans no less – can cough up enough bucks to see the characters they love come back to show what adulthood has done to them in a low-budget movie.
And that, I must admit, is what appealed to me the more I thought about a "Veronica Mars" starring a thoroughly grown-up Bell. Catching up with a grown woman who was once a giddily precocious child is so much more creative than traipsing after 80 percent of the CGI critters and zombies from film to film. And, to think, it was paid for by enough people opening up their checkbooks and kicking in a few bucks apiece.
I wish they'd asked me to contribute a few bucks to see another "Harry O" movie in the 1970s. I'd have been there in a flash.
It's the new digital world where the Internet is giving us new things none of us could have begun to imagine 10 years ago.
Take the Emmys, for instance.
"House of Cards," the American remake of the British political series starring the consummately cold-blooded Ian Richardson, was one of 14 Emmy nominations for Netflix, even though it, "Arrested Development" and "Orange Is the New Black" have nothing to do with networks in any way, shape or form.
Traditionally minded folks can now get the first 13 chapters of "House of Cards" – the complete first season nominated for all those Emmys – in a four-DVD set from Sony.
But the idea that the old TV business model – networks parcel out shows to us once a week – can be so blithely smashed to smithereens for fun and profit is an upheaval whose implications, frankly, I still don't think anyone has sufficiently contemplated. (There is, I think, some wisdom in seeing weekly "series" that way, just as there was in reading great novels in regular magazine installments.)
Lord knows we've seen the chaos and destruction that the digital world and the Internet can visit upon all manner of technologies in what Marshall McLuhan called "The Gutenberg Galaxy," but it's hard not to love a world where fans of a TV show can kick in a few bucks to see what a TV show's creators can cook up for a second life – and whole seasons of TV series can suddenly show up in your mail.
