Natural herbal supplement supporting healthy lungs and immune system.
Size: 500mg x 60 capsules
Production Information
Natural herbal diet supplement supporting healthy lungs and immune system. Below is the description and functions of some of the active ingredients in Lung Care product.
Baikal Skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis Radix)
ACTION: To remove damp-heat, to quench fire and counteract toxicity, to arrest bleeding, and to prevent abortion.
INDICATIONS: Discomfort in the chest, nausea and vomiting in eidemic febrile diseases caused by damp-heat or summer-heat; feeling of stuffiness in the abdomen, acute dysentery or jaundice caused by damp-heat; cough due to heat in the lung; high fever with dire thirst; spitting of blood and epistaxis due to heat in blood; carbuncles and sores; threatened abortion.
Baikal Skullcap is native to the mountains of southwest China and was used safely for centuries in traditional medicine to treat excess inflammation and to support cardiovascular health. Research at numerous prestigious U.S. medical institutions now demonstrates that Baikal Skullcap contains some of the most exciting anti-aging and anti-inflammatory molecules known to science including baicalin, baicalein and wogonin.
Lonicera Flower (Lonicerae japonicae Flos, Honeysuckle Flower)
What is honeysuckle flower? What is it used for?
There are approximately 200 species of honeysuckle that grow worldwide, all of which belong to the genus Lonicera, of the family Caprifoliaceae. Although they are usually found in the temperate zones, honeysuckle has also been known to grow in the Himalayas and southern Asia. The Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) is used in traditional Chinese medicine, and will be discussed in this article. It has fragrant, yellow-white flowers and black berries.
Different parts of the honeysuckle are used to treat different conditions. The flower buds are gathered in the beginning of summer, then dried in the shade before being used in herbal remedies. They can be used raw, or after being fried or distilled.
In traditional Chinese medicine, honeysuckle flower has sweet and cold properties, and is associated with the Lung, Stomach and Large Intestine meridians. It is used to clear heat and remove toxins. Generally, honeysuckle flower has been employed to treat a variety of conditions, ranging from fevers, ulcers, inflammation and sore throats to skin infections. It is also used (in conjunction with coptis and pulsatilla) to treat diarrhea caused by toxic heat. Honeysuckle flower may be applied internally or externally.
Astragalus (Astragalus mongholicus Radix)
ACTIONS: Immunomodulator
INDICATIONS: Used since ancient times in Traditional Chinese Medicine, it has become an important remedy in the west since its effects upon the immune system came to light. As the power of immunological research is focused on medicinal herbs a whole new array of effects are being discovered. The polysaccharides in Astragalus have been shown to intensify phagocytosis of reticulo-endothelial systems, stimulate pituitary-adrenal cortical activity and restore depleted red blood cell formation in bone marrow. Astragalus is also one of the herbs known to stimulate the bodies natural production of interferon. The therapeutic potential offered is very exciting. The conclusion being drawn by most western herbalist's is that Astragalus is an ideal remedy for anyone who might be immuno-compromised in any way. This can range from someone who easily `catches' colds to someone with cancer.
Chinese Thoroughwax (Bupleurum chinense Radix)
ACTION: To regulate the exterior and interior, to soothe the liver, and to cure drooping and ptosis.
INDICATIONS: Influenza or common cold with fever; alternate chills and fever such as malaria; distending pain in the chest and hypochondriac regions; menstrual disorders; prolapse of the uterus, prolapse of the rectum.
Baphicacanthus (Isatidis Radix)
ACTION: To remove toxic heat, to reduce heat in blood, and to soothe the sore throat.
INDICATIONS: Eruptive epidemic diseases with dark red or purplish tongue; mumps; pharyngitis, laryngitis, scarlet fever; erysipelas; carbuncle.
Siler (Ledebouriellae sesloidis Radix)
ACTION: To induce diaphoresis, to dispel wind, to alleviate rheumatic condition, and to relieve spasm.
INDICATIONS: Headache in colds; urticaria; rheumatic arthralgia; tetanus.
Licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis Radix)
ACTION: To reinforce the function of the spleen and replenish qi, to remove heat and counteract toxicity, to dispel phlegm and relieve cough, to alleviate spasmodic pain, and to moderate drug actions.
INDICATIONS: Weakness of the spleen and the stomach marked by lassitude and weakness; cardiac palpitation and shortness of breath; cough with much phlegm; spasmodic pain in the epigastrium, abdomen and limbs; carbuncles and sores. It is often used for reducing the toxic or drastic actions of other drugs.

Copywriter's Birthday Card.
This is technically for copywriters, but I bet it'd work for anyone in your life that gets paid to write and has to produce on a deadline. The language is a little racy (it employs the f-bomb, for instance), but it hits the nail squarely on the head. Hysterical.

A war is raging on the North American continent in which forces of evil seek to destroy the life and health of a brave sort of chubby guy from the free nation of Canada. Mayor Rob Ford has been fighting for the rights of every drunk person who claims the right to drink and fornicate as God meant people to drink and fornicate. If God did not mean us to be drunken bums then why did he allow us to become them? The Toronto City Council in a tight 39-3 vote suspended the right of Mayor Ford to appoint or dismiss the deputy mayor and his executive committee which handles the budget process. It also empowered the deputy mayor to handle civic emergencies. I wonder if the current behavior of Rob Ford falls under the heading of a "civic emergency." Frankly, I am a bit confused about this entire matter. OK, so he takes a few drinks. OK, so he shacks up with a woman. So what? How many people on the Toronto City Council have taken a snort of hard liquor and they certainly don't want us to check out their love lives.
Rob summed up the entire matter in that special way he has of stating the truth. "If i would have had a mayor conducting himself the way I have, I would have done the same thing." Thanks Rob for being an honest man.Perhaps, you could convince members of the American Republican party to behave in your manner of life. It would be a refreshing break from their idiocy.

Very nice. How high were the winds? Here they've been 25-30 mph for the past several days. I'm afraid if I had those they'd be in the next county by now.S
I had to check to see. Looks like about 17, gusting to 26, at that time. They're fairly protected, being under the grid roof.
nice natural moment there. looks like some of the big winds coming off the pacific and blowing through here have reached you.

Coalpower went into administration in December, but the government maintained a plan to offer financial aid to the Doncaster pit if a new buyer was found.
Now it has announced the money will be offered to other coal mines as no-one has come forward to take over Hatfield.
But Doncaster North MP Kevin Hughes said the mine, which shut with the loss of 200 jobs, still has a future.
Lost jobs
Mr Hughes has been campaigning to save the pit and said its reserves of 100m tonnes of accessible reserves still made it an attractive prospect.
"I believe that Hatfield is such a good project, that the reserves are so good, that someone will put a funding package together to access that coal," he said.
"I haven't written it off totally yet."

Akin, a 19 year old male from Winnipeg asks on December 9, 2005,Why does HIV form resistance to ARV so quickly? HIV reproduces itself millions and millions of times a day, and only about 1/10000 is an error (mutation). However, we have spent a lot of money, time, and effort developing ARVs that have been able to prolong a person's life for a number of years. However, if an individual stops adhereance to the therapy for about 2 weeks, resistance will surely form.
viewed 13795 times
HIV can form resistance to antiretroviral drugs quickly because its reproduction is relatively error-prone and it can reproduce at very high rates.
Left to its own devices (i.e. untreated) HIV replicates rapidly and produces lots of mutations every time it replicates. Some of these would make it resistant to some drugs but these mutations are generally less fit than the un-mutated wild type virus, reproduce less well and either disappear or remain a tiny minority.
At the other end of the spectrum, if there is effective combination therapy and the replication of the virus is reduced to undetectable levels, it is very difficult for HIV to become resistant simply because there are relatively few opportunities to replicate and produce mutations.
The perfect conditions for HIV to develop resistance are where there is drug therapy but it is not effective enough to shut down HIV replication. These conditions occur, for example, when people are not adherent to their prescribed medications. Under these conditions there is sufficient HIV replication to produce mutations and if these render the virus resistant to one or more of the drugs being used then that mutant strain will be more successful than the wild type virus and will swiftly multiply to become the dominant strain in that patient, sometimes in a matter of weeks. This drug resistant strain can then start to undermine the immune system and cause the clinical illness associated with HIV disease.
Visit the HIV resistance response database initiative.

10 Commandments for Winning at Fantasy Football
This is the sixth in a series of articles geared toward winning at fantasy football. To find more content on useful ways you can win your league, click here
6th Commandment - Thou Shall Covet Thy Stud WR
In Fantasy Football, we all know just how important it is to get Stud Running Backs. That cannot be overlooked. Here at FFChamps, we have always preached to our users that if they want to dominate their leagues as we always have, they must NOT ignore the Wide Receiver position.
This is even more critical in leagues that award points per reception (PPR). Our thinking has several angles, all of which point us in the direction of focusing on WRs, let me explain….
1 – Generally there are about 6-10 RBs each year that most would consider a "Stud". In fact, based on our most recent projections, we actually see 11 Stud RBs, and another 7 or even 8 that are "Borderline Studs". It's one of the deepest RB group we've seen in a while. However at WR there are generally only about 3-5 Stud WRs in a given year. We happen to have 6 listed as Studs this year (for our complete rankings updated daily, just look in the FFChamps Draft Kit). The point is the supply and demand ratio is worse for WRs. The funny thing is most leagues also start more WRs than RBs so it's even weirder that people tend to ignore WR.
2 – Running Back is probably the most physically challenging positions in football. They take a beating. WRs for the most part take much fewer hits (a RB can touch it 25 times a game, a WR generally 6-8), and are generally getting hit by much smaller guys. So the odds are much lower that a WR will miss time than a RB, so if you are going to use a high pick, it's good if he plays every week.
3 – Top WRs can score as much as top RBs, but from there the drop off can be much more significant at WR. The 25th ranked RB will score much more than the 25th ranked WR in most scoring systems. Our goal is to get our entire WR corps within the top 25 if possible. It will give us a HUGE advantage over our competition.
The point of the 6th Commandment to Winning at Fantasy Football, is that while we all know that it is vital to grab RB's early. If for no other reason, there will simply not be many quality RB's available after the first 2 or 3 rounds. The run on RB's is immediate and exhausting, therefore we do recommend securing your #1 RB early. However, after that if you have a shot at 1 of the top tier WR's in the 2nd, we STRONGLY suggest you do take one. We recommend you DO NOT pass on the Stud WR to take your #2 RB unless he too is a Stud that fell to you.
Taking it 1 step further, if you find yourself in the 3rd round and there is still someone left in the top tier at WR -- JUMP on him. IF you are "Following Your Tiers" and understand the strategy, they should jump out at you on your draft board at this point (see the 2nd Commandment). This will give you 1 Stud RB and 2 Stud WRs after 3 rounds. Sounds like a recipe for the playoffs to me. This is even MORE imperative in leagues that are PPR.
We do not advocate playing to not lose here at FF Champs. We play to WIN, or not at all. That's not to say we will take unnecessary risk, but rather we are not afraid to think outside of the box or go against the flow. In fact we've been known to take our top WR before our top RB if we think the value is there at that time. We never back ourselves into a corner, or take away our flexibility while drafting by insisting on taking a player at a certain position. We utilize our Draft Tracking ability (and our Champs Draft Tracker makes it easy), and try and figure out who our opponents will take next, and then we stick to our tiers.
With that in mind, we will not take a mediocre #2 RB, just because common sense tells us they will all be gone at our next pick. Instead, we will take a top tier WR and dominate at that position. We will then fill our roster with a handful of our sleepers, and if a few work out, as they usually do, we will be just fine.
1st Commandment: Know Thy Scoring System
2nd Commandment: Thou Shall Stick To Thy Tiers
3rd Commandment: Thou Shall Avoid Bad Players from Bad Teams
4th Commandment: Thou Shall Draft Players From The Next Great Offenses
5th Commandment: Thou Shall Wait on Thy Quarterback
6th Commandment:Thou Shall Covet Thy Stud Wide Receiver
7th Commandment: Thou Must Draft Thy Stud's Backup
8th Commandment: Thou Shall Not Draft Two Studs From the Same Team
9th Commandment: Thou Shall NOT Draft a Kicker or a Team Defense Too Early
10th Commandment: Thou Shall Start Your Studs

Ebooks vs. Tree-Books
Print media is steadily giving way to digital media. Print newspapers and magazines have especially felt the brunt of the shift. Ebooks are also fast replacing print copies. From nothing in 2007 to 20% of all books sold in 2011, projected to reach 50% in a few years, the benefits of ebooks are apparent.
Ebooks are green, saving trees along with the costs and energy it takes to produce, store, and distribute print books. Self-published ebooks foster individual entrepreneurship. Ebooks reduce the cost of books by two-thirds or more in many cases, thereby increasing readership. Ebooks ease back pain and related medical expenses since several thousand books can be stored on a lightweight reader. Ebooks can be interactive, combining text, audio, and video.
Read an ebook, save a tree.

I definitely love eBooks, because I want to take care of the environment.
It's great that we can find sites like All you can books where there are lots of free eBooks, which we can have them with just one click.
Read an eBook, save a tree, as you said... a really great slogan!

I've been a convert to e-books since I got my first Kindle back in 2009.
The benefits are pretty much self evident I feel. I actually prefer e-books to printed books these days. Turning pages is almost medieval!

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
No dog should spend its life living in a mill - especially not Italian Greyhounds who are among those who fare the worst under such conditions due to their soft, sweet dispositions and need to bond with their very own human companion. While our focus is Italian Greyhounds, you may see other breeds represented among our adoptable dogs from time to time simply because we could not leave them behind. While mill life is horrid, the dogs in those mills are not. They can be some of the sweetest, most loving dogs around. Please consider giving one a chance to live a normal, happy life.
FACEBOOK (like us, we have lots of cute pics up daily)
CHICAGOLAND DOGGY PLAY DATES (it's free)
Foster FAQ's **FOSTER** A ROMP RESCUE, fostering saves lives too

DONATE to ROMP Italian Greyhound Rescue Here
Our adoption process consists of completing a questionnaire, reference checks, home visit, adoption contract and adoption fee (typically $250-350). Our rescues are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations upon adoption. If you have any other questions, see our adoption FAQ's
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

This recipe was the grand prize winner of my first ever bacon recipe contest. It's was created by Merry Graham from Newhall, CA. Sean, the Bacon LIVE chatroom, and I all fell and love with the idea of the recipe. I can wait to get it a try possibly this weekend since this is this week's "Weekend Cooking†assignment.
If you make this let us know what you thought about and if you think it should have won the grand prize. I am not sure how one could disappoint since it has two of my favorite foods in it, bacon and cornbread. But you never know till you make it.
I will be posting the other entries in the week to come and I am playing to compile them all in to a free ebook called "MrBaconpants' Ever Expanding Book of Bacon Recipesâ€. With each new edition I will add more recipes to it as I get them. Look for more details about this soon.
Fruity Bacon Upside Down Cornbread with Orange Mascarpone Cheese
Serves: 8-10
- 6 slices of Bacon, cut into 1†pieces
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1 pear, peeled, cored, 1/2†chunks (or drained canned pear chunks)
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 1/3 cup unbleached flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 whole eggs
- 1¼ cup low fat milk
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 8 ounces Creamy Mascarpone Italian Cheese
- 3 tablespoons Orange Marmalade
- Extra Orange Marmalade for garnish
- Adjust oven rack to center of oven. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Over high heat, in a 10†cast iron skillet fry bacon pieces for 2 minutes. Turn heat to medium-high, continue to cook 1-2 minutes or until bacon is just about crisp; turn heat off. Evenly distribute bacon in skillet with spatula. Sprinkle cranberries on top of bacon followed by pears, and brown sugar. Set skillet aside.
- Whisk flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, whisk egg, milk, and butter; pour over flour mixture and whisk just until mixed. Spoon batter on top of bacon-cranberry-pear mixture; bake for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, thoroughly mix mascarpone with orange marmalade.
- Allow cornbread to cool in pan 3 minutes. Loosen sides of cornbread with a knife and invert onto a large serving plate. Cut into individual servings. Serve cornbread with a dollop of orange mascarpone and a spoonful of orange marmalade. Serve warm!
Serving Suggestions: Serve for Easter breakfast or brunch with scrambled eggs, quiche, or omelets. For lunch, a chicken salad and a slice of cornbread! And for dinner, this cornbread is great with ham, turkey or lamb.
Speedy Step: If you have a favorite boxed cornbread mix you can use it! Mix boxed cornbread as directed on package and spoon over bacon mixture. Bake as directed on cornbread package. To finish, follow step 4.

In early July we explored some of Galicia's major wine regions including Rias Baixas, Ribeiro and Ribera Sacra long with some beautiful newly opened hotels like the Parador of Santo Estevo de Rivas de Sil. Based on our visits, we are designing some new itineraries with a focus on medieval Santiago de Compostela, wine tasting and the stunning scenery of the northern coast of Galicia. This week we have just returned from a fantastic six-week research trip in Ireland, our base for new gourmet tours. We were impressed by artisan cheese producers like Gubbeen, the organic Ummera Smokehouse and spectacular venues for cooking classes such as with the effervescently charming Rory O´Connell. Check out some of our observations on the places visited on our blog.
New private limo chauffeured tours we are offering for couples and small groups include- Opera and Truffles in Tuscany (Lucca and San Miniato with seasonal Puccini operas in Torre del Lago); Gourmet Weekends in Bologna (with Culatello ham and Modena Balsamic vinegar tastings); Culinary vacations in Capri; Champagne and Paris long weekends; Honeymoons for wine lovers in Sicily; Gourmet Tours of Green Spain; a food and wine tasting tour of the Italian Lakes (including Lake Maggiore and Piedmont, Lake Como and Valtellina; Lake Garda and Valpolicella; and Lake Iseo with Franciacorta); and new combo tours of Lisbon, the evocative Alentejo wine region, Spain's Extremadura (with the darling towns of Cáceres and Trujillo) and in Madrid, a private Iberian Wine masterclass paired with cheeses from Spain and Portugal.
This autumn offers many exciting events in Europe, especially Italy, for food and wine lovers. Check our blog for new posts on festivals and events related to food and wine, and ones that we think you shouldn't miss if you will be in these locations include the Slow Food bi-annual Salone del Gusto in Turin in October (see more info below); the Wine Championship in Florence in mid September (organized by Slow Food Florence www.slowfoodfirenze.it ); the 2 week long Pizzafest in Napoli in mid September (www.pizzafest.info ); the Rice Fair in Isola della Scala, Veneto (small name for a big foodie fair that runs from Sept 12-Oct 5th and attracts half a million visitors www.fieradelriso.it ) and finally for chocolate lovers everywhere Eurochocolate in Perugia, Umbria in late October attracts tourists from all over the globe (www.eurochocolate.com ). In Iberia fun events include the seafood festival in O grove, Galicia from 3 - 12 Oct (www.galinor.es ); the beautiful Saffron Festival in Consuegra ( www.consuegra.es); Cava week (bubbly and fun celebrations) in Sant Sadurni d'Anoia in the Penedès Sept 23-Oct 6 (confrariacava.com ); and all over Spain and Portugal's wine regions (and Italy for that matter) you will find an array of harvest festivals and events
Salone del Gusto, Bra, Italy
Truffle Queen
The Slow Food Movement originated in Piedmont (Piemonte) and this fabulous Italian region is also home to white truffles, Barolo and Barbaresco, charming wine villages and castles, and some of the best restaurants in the world. Every two years the Slow Food hold a food and wine fair in Turin and this year the lineup of events at the "Salone del Gusto" is incredible. So we decided to offer a seasonal tour for our food and wine loving clients to include a visit to the fair and a top wine tasting event, along with a visit to the annual white truffle fair, and private winery tours in Langhe.
Pricing is based on number of guests in your private group. Suppliers subject to availability at time of booking. If you are interested in this private luxury tour, contact us at [email protected]
Tickets for the events are selling out fast!
Pago Casanova
While the Rias Baixas region has rightfully earned its place on the global wine platform for its fragrant Albariños, other lesser-known Galician regions like Ribeiro (as well as Valdeorras and Ribera Sacra) are gaining more and more international attention. Ribeiro had traditionally been characterized by large cooperatives and so-so wine, but recent years have seen massive investment and a breath of new life. Now, there are many boutique producers, called Colleteiros, making great wines from their own vineyards. Pago Casanova is one such boutique estate.
We had the pleasure to visit this wonderful small winery in Galicia's Ribeiro region earlier this summer and were charmed equally by the two beautiful estates (one with a 17th century "Pazo" manor, the other with beautiful vineyards and an ancient house they are converting into a wine inn), by the passionate owner Carlos de la Peña and by the winery's two excellent whites- Casanova and Casanova Máxima. The Casanova wine is comprised of 85% Treixadura and then a coupage of Godello, Albariño and Loureira. On the nose you get white flowers, wild herbs and white peaches. On the palate, an explosion of citrus accented flavors and a perfect refreshing acidity.
Wine Style: Dry white
Appellation: Ribeiro
Region: Galicia, Spain
Grape Varietals:
Food and Wine Pairing: Galician Octopus, Crab Salad, Pasta and Scampi

Barcelona and Catalunya Gourmet Wine Tours
Spain's northeastern region of Catalonia (called "Catalunya" in the Catalan language) is a treasure trove of diverse wine regions, scenic fishing villages, dramatic coastlines reminiscent of Carmel and Big Sur, world-class art museums, cosmopolitan cities like Barcelona and stunning restaurants. Think Priorat, think Ferran Adrià of El Bulli, think Salvador Dalî- this is Catalunya. We have designed this Catalan Connoisseurs tour for food, wine and art lovers looking for the best of the region. You´ll see how Cava (Spain's bubbly) is made, you´ll visit a winery with its own castle, you´ll dine in some of the best Michelin starred restaurants in the country, and you will sleep in gorgeous hotels- a wine spa resort with views of the Montserrat mountains, a converted Masia which is now a luxury Relais & Chateaux and a "modernista" (similar to Art deco) mansion in Barcelona. As on all our tours, this tour is private and just for you (minimum 2 people) with your own Mercedes and driver and all private VIP visits and touring...

Cascais, Portugal
Cascais is a historic town located about half an hour from Lisbon and close to beautiful Sintra. Portugal's Royal Family brought the court here in the late 1800's and erected many beautiful palaces and mansions and today there is a very bohemian and international flavor here. Before the court came Cascais was a fishing village and the city remembers its past in the very interesting little maritime museum. We include Cascais as a day or overnight stop in our tours and there is plenty to see and do, particularly in summer when you can enjoy the gorgeous beaches (and being the Atlantic, the water is cold in other seasons!). You can enjoy some fabulous restaurants here, coastal hikes, casinos and jet set discotheques in nearby Estoril, an annual summer jazz festival. Definitely one of Portugal's most darling little coastal towns, it also host to our gourmet cooking classes (ask for info).

Portrait Suites, Rome
Just off the Via Condotti, Rome's most fashionable street, and near the Spanish Steps, you'll find the Portrait Suites. Owned by the fashion house Ferragamo, the hotel is just as hip and elegant as its clothes, shoes and scarves! Ferragamo own quite a few hotels in Florence, from the stylish Continentale to the funky Gallery to the ultra elegant Lungarno, but Portrait Suites is their first venture in Rome. The manageress is American and very service orientated, and Portrait Suites Rome (whose suites are more like chic apartments) is all about the small details. If you are looking for a full service hotel, this is not for you. But if you like the idea of gorgeously decorated suites, a boutique hotel ambience, being a one minute walk to the Piazza di Spagna and having one of the best roof top views in the city almost to yourself, this is your hotel. There are 14 suites and facilities include Wifi, flat screen TVs, kitchenettes, and DVD/CD player.
Ballymaloe House
Ballymaloe House
Shanagarry, Co. Cork,
Tel: +353 21 4652 531
This summer we toured all over Ireland, checking out castles, design hotels, Michelin starred restaurants, historic pubs and gourmet producers, and one of our favorite lunches was at the Ballymaloe House. Owned by the Allen family (Ireland's "Kennedys" of cooking, a large family with many famous members including Darina Allen, Rachel Allen and Darina's brother Rory O'Connell). This Irish country home and fine restaurant has been run by the Allen family for over 2 decades and is still one of the best places to stay and eat in the South East of Ireland. We loved seeing guests playing croquet on the lawn; the cozy drawing room where we waited to be seated with a glass of champagne; and the 400 acres of green area and gardens weren't bad either! Lunch was in an elegant but understated dining room with high ceilings. The service was very friendly without being phony and the dishes were simple and executed perfectly (potato and leek soup, organic beef and homemade horseradish, homemade meringue – and the cheese cart here is mythical). The atmosphere was sophisticated without being stuffy, just how we like it. For wine lovers, they are doing wine weekends in 2009 with a famous wine journalist and author Mary Dowey in February and April. Will include wine appreciation classes, a gala dinner and champagne workshop.) Highly recommended!
Lake Garda Gourmet Weekend
We are big fans of Italy's northern lakes (Como, Garda, Orta, Maggiore, Iseo, etc) and Lake Garda is a favorite as there is such a variety of experiences you can enjoy (from wine tasting to fine dining to sailing to castles to historic and quaint lakeside villages) in such a short distance. Our clients have been asking us more and more for shorter breaks, especially long weekends, and we have designed this short but fascinating tour of Lake Garda to include as always "the best of". With your own private driver and comfortable Mercedes you will enjoy wine tasting in Franciacorta and Valtenesi, a private cooking class with an exceptionally charming couple in their fantastic restaurant, a cultural visit of Bergamo, and a private motor launch of the lake. Olive oil tasting and some unforgettable meals are also included...

Italian Carbonara
Carbonara is one of those Italian sauces that tends to be brutally re-interpreted in many Italian restaurants outside of Italy and a fair few in touristy areas of Italian art cities as well. We've seen it served with mint, with peas, drowning in cream and even with sliced boiled ham bits! Some Italian chefs consider this to be sacrilege, and in January of this year for the first time ever dozens of Italian Chefs all over the world form Australia to Japan to the US, all belonging to www.itchefs-gvci.com cooked a Pasta alla Carbonara based on the authentic recipe as part of their "Global Wave of Authentic Carbonara". As their web stated "Carbonara is one of the most counterfeited recipes in the world". So where does the true carbonara come from and how is it made? Most culinary historians seem to agree that the dish originated in the colli (hills) of Rome. Its worldwide popularity was spread during and after WWII. A few different theories for this: allied soldiers brought their eggs and bacon and local mamas mixed them with pasta and voilà; American soldiers brought the receipt back with them to the US; etc. For the record- there are no peas or cream in a real carbonara! Here's a recipe written by the itchefs for the authentic Spaghetti alla Carbonara-
Mix the beaten egg with grated cheese and ground black pepper. Slice the pancetta 7 to 10 mm thick and cut in 2 cm rectangular bites. Slowly fry the pancetta in the extra virgin olive oil in a nonstick pan until crispy. If the pancetta has enough fat you will not need to add oil. Add the spaghetti with some of the cooking water, do not fry the spaghetti but rather just let it absorb the flavor of the pancetta. Simmer gently until the water is almost gone. Remove the pan from the stove. Add the egg, cheese and pepper mixture to the pasta and stir quickly making sure the egg does not overcook but remains creamy. It shouldn't pass 70-72 C˚ (158-162 F˚) temperature, which is the point at which its coagulation starts. Place in a hot pasta bowl. Season with grounded black pepper. Serve immediately. Offer more black pepper and more grated cheese at the table.
The pomegranate is one of autumn's sexiest fruits (in the northern hemisphere, as in the southern hemisphere it's a spring fruit). A rather weird looking little red fruit, it has been enjoyed since ancient times. Indigenous to ancient Persia (modern day Iran) and the Indian Himalayas, it is now cultivated all over the world (Asia, Africa, Latin America, Southern Europe and the western USA. The pomegranate has symbolism in many of the world's religions including Judaism, Christianity and Islam as well as Ancient Greek and Ancient Roman mythology. Called "Granada" in Spanish, it is also the heraldic symbol of the beautiful Spanish town of Granada (home to the Alhambra Moorish palace). Called "Melagrana" in Italian, it has been eaten in Italy since at least Roman times as you can see from many-a-mosaic. Today the pomegranate is widely used in Italy in risottos, chicken dishes and gelatos. In Mexico, the luscious seeds are used in that all time favorite colonial dish "Chiles en Nogada" (all colors in the dish are present in the Mexican flag). And in Spain, "granadas" are used in all manor of dishes, but especially salads. It's also one of the elite fruits to be considered by nutritionists as a "superfruit". They are an excellent source of potassium and the juice contains antioxidants. Pomegranates are also thought to help prevent prostate cancer and to enhance the immune system. Delicious, low in calories and an exotic addition to your autumn dishes, enjoy!
Campari, ingredient of the Negroni
The Negroni cocktail is the epitome of cool! Made with Campari, gin and vermouth it is a bright orange color and has a delicious, bitter taste (all the better to stop you from drinking them too quickly). According to the cocktail bible, this fabulous drink was invented in Florence, Tuscany by a bartender in the early 1900´s at the Caffè Casoni (no longer in existence, now it's a Roberto Cavalli designed cafe) at the request of a local count who wanted a variation on the "Americano" cocktail. There are many variations of the story though and the origins of many cocktails could be called "cocktail mythology"! The Negroni can be served in traditional stem cocktail glass although in Italy you usually see it served at "Aperitivo" time (before dinner) in short fat glasses on ice, garnishes with an orange slice.
Pour the gin, Campari and vermouth into a cocktail shaker already filled with ice and shake until chilled then pour into a stem glass (martini glass), garnishing with an orange slice, preferably burned (releases the flavors). Italian style would be to serve on the rocks.

I don't like the result, my nose is turned up way too much so my nostrils are visible and my nose seems like it's too small for my face. my previous nose suits me way better. Some say that it's too early to judge and I have to wait at least for 6 months but I don't think it's gonna be a huge difference as I want. So I wanna know will my nose get longer and come down or I need a revision surgery?

Van Persie failed to impress for Holland during their disappointing Euro 2012 campaign.
"I never even thought about quitting the national team. Trust me, it never even crossed my mind. I enjoy the game too much for that. I'm not angry either after the Euros. I'm not frustrated," Van Persie told De Telegraaf.
"I'm not talking about what happened in Poland and Ukraine. It's only right to discuss those kinds of things internally.
"Did I not feel the urge to speak up during Euro 2012? Sometimes I did, but most of the times I did not.
"How we can become a united team again? By winning games. It's our goal to qualify for the World Cup. We've been paired with some tough opponents, but it's a nice challenge."

Re: The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...
If it gets the job done, I'm all for it! The lower the price the better, not lower quality.
I like my AKC dogs by the way! Quality, and they have never let me down. I only hope they can say the same thing about me.
You do have to tell me how you went from a Benz to a Suzuki some time. Or from a Caddy to a Suzuki. I like my comfort too much to do that! I'll stick with my $100k sedans and the K50k cabriolet thank you!

Typing on the Galaxy Tab has been a pleasure especially when using Thumb Keyboard, but there are moments when a physical keyboard is needed. When I am sitting in lecture and I want to take notes with my Tab using the onscreen keyboard, the Professor may think that I am texting in class. This not only leads to unnecessary embarrassments, if he or she calls me out in front of the other students, but also makes note-taking inefficient; I type slower with the onscreen keyboard than with a regular keyboard. I resorted to carrying around my full sized Apple bluetooth keyboard and trackpad with me so I could take notes and navigate the Tab more efficiently but alas, it led to people constantly staring at me because of my awkward setup and as you would imagine, portability was an issue as well. What's a guy to do? Luckily I found a solution, a bluetooth keyboard within a case! Check out my video review after the break:
Overall Impressions:
The bluetooth keyboard/case has been a tremendous productivity tool. I've managed to type this review in its entirety with the keyboard and it has been a great experience. As I mentioned in the video review, there is a slight learning curve to it but after that, you will be typing as fast as you do on a normal keyboard. The battery life is exceptional! I have been using this keyboard on and off for about 4 days now have yet to plug it in to charge it. This keyboard, coupled with a few other apps, makes typing long emails and controlling the entire tab easy and intuitive. It's now a pleasure to sit on Google Talk and chat with my friends and have long conversations with them using this keyboard; it feels natural. So if you are in the market for a portable keyboard for your Galaxy Tab and want to save yourself the embarrassment of carrying around a full-sized keyboard in your backpack, then go ahead and pick up one for yourself. I think with the perfect sized bluetooth mouse, you basically get a mini netbook. Prices due vary ($40-$90) so shop around. I recommend using ebay or google shopping to get the best deals. Just search for Galaxy Tab Bluetooth Keyboard Case! If your in a rush to get one, here's one from Brando.com.
Recommended apps to use with this keyboard (Available on the Android Market):
-BlueKeyboard Pro: allows you to hide the standard keyboard when you are typing with the keyboard connected.
-Widget Locker: great for getting the homescreen in portrait mode and for waking/unlocking the Tab by using the back button on the keyboard
-Task Switcher: AMAZING tool used to program quick keys to launch your favorite apps as well switching between them. Much better than holding down the home button.
If you have recommendations for a good bluetooth mouse, leave a comment or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com!

There is no waiting period in Idaho. Once you buy your license and tag, you can immediately go hunting (provided the season is open).
Years ago (30+) there was a waiting period of 24 hours to dissuade people from illegally killing a deer or elk and then going to the closest vendor and buying a license and/or tag. With current forensic technology and real-time uploading of license purchasing information, we can easily prove a case when someone tries this unethical hunting trick.

Rwanda's Kagame attacks UN, Human Rights Watch
By Adrian Croft
LONDON (Reuters) - Rwandan President Paul Kagame attacked the United Nations on Thursday over a leaked report saying Rwandan troops may have committed genocide and criticised a rights group that found fault with last month's election.
Rwanda threatened to pull out its troops from U.N. peacekeeping missions last month after the leaked report on crimes alleged to have been committed by various forces in the Democratic Republic of Congo during the 1990s, including the charge that Rwandan troops may have committed genocide.
Asked if the report damaged his legitimacy, Kagame said: "I don't imagine that my legitimacy is something that would just be washed away by such allegations."
Kagame, answering reporters' questions after giving a speech at London's International Institute for Strategic Studies, said the allegations in the U.N. report were "baseless and totally untrue and flawed in many ways, right from the authors of the report to the methods used".
"If there was anything to be questioned about anything that could have gone wrong either in the Congo or the Great Lakes region or particularly in Rwanda, it should have been the U.N. to really be held accountable for that," he said.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon took Rwanda's threat to withdraw peacekeepers so seriously he flew to Rwanda last week to talk to Kagame. Ban said they had agreed on the importance of Rwanda staying in peacekeeping operations.
Kagame said the countries mentioned in the report were working with the U.N. "to find where to place the problems they referred to".

John Conniff: Are you more comfortable as a starter or relief pitcher, or are you pretty much happy to be doing anything they ask of you right now in the major leagues?
Clay Hensley: That is pretty much what it is, we have some injuries in the pen right now. They said at this point that is where they want me to help them out, and whatever I can do to help out this ball club and get us in the playoffs is what I want to do.
John Conniff: You had a good season at Mobile in 2004, and obviously put together a solid season at Portland this year, but still flew under the radar for most people. Has there been a big change in what you are doing, or are you still really the same pitcher?
Clay Hensley: I think that is what it has been. I didn't come out of a really big Division I school [Lamar] so that may have been the reason. I wasn't a first rounder type guy, so not a lot of hype. I'm pitching the same way now that I have been since I've started playing ball, the rest is just starting to take care of itself.
John Conniff: Your numbers in Portland at first glance aren't that impressive, you had a couple of bad decisions and lack of run support at Portland so you don't have a great won-loss record, your strikeout to walk ratio is good, but not great, but the number that really jumps out at you is the number of hits allowed per inning, which is very low.
Do you see yourself as more of a pitcher who is trying to get batters to pound the ball into the ground?
Clay Hensley: I'm just trying to get guys to hit my pitch. I'm not going to get a lot of strikeouts.
John Conniff: So how is life in the major leagues so far?
Clay Hensley: It's really unbelievable, amazing. A dream come true.
Have a question about a prospect in the San Diego Padres' system. Send John an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Gold Prospectors Spot Loophole in State's Dredge Mining Moratorium
In an interview with the Two Rivers Tribune, Stopher said the definition of a suction dredge with the three elements—pump, hose and sluice, originated in 1961 legislation and has been carried forward in all legislation since then. He said no one would have tried this before the moratorium and that he personally preferred his agencies dredging regulations and permit system which stated when, how and where dredging could be done.

Gold Prospectors Spot Loophole in State's Dredge Mining Moratorium
By Malcolm Terence
Miners along the Klamath River think they have found a loophole in the moratorium on suction dredging. The law defines a dredge as a suction hose, a pump and a sluice. The workaround, as shown in this illustration, works without the sluice box. It is still in the trial stage. /Drawing from New 49ers website.
Gold miners on the Salmon River have long seemed inventive. It should come as little surprise, then, that their brethren on the Klamath would come up with a ploy to evade the state's moratorium on suction dredging.
With the price of gold cresting over $1600 per ounce and the legislature passing daunting regulatory hurdles, miners associated with a business called the New 49ers dredging club based in Happy Camp have come up with a loophole.
With a creativity that might impress a hedge fund manager looking for a tax dodge, they have suggested a way to suction gold particles out of the water without meeting the legal definition of the now-banned suction dredges.
The legal definition of a dredge includes a vacuum hose, a motorized pump and a sluice box, which together can suck up river gravels and then winnow them through the sluice to keep the gold particles and dump the gravel overburden.
The Karuk Tribe has long held that the dredging degrades water quality and alters streambeds enough that it threatens fish recovery. This argument carried special legal muscle because one species, coho salmon, is listed under the state and federal Endangered Species Acts.
The campaign to better regulate dredging is one of several by the tribe, which, like the other tribes in the Klamath Basin, are trying to promote recovery of fish populations. The tribes are avid followers and even litigants in several court cases affecting water use.
In the case of dredging, the New 49ers website suggests leaving out the sluice, which technically makes it not a suction dredge operation under the law. A sluice is a kind of inclined three-sided box with many horizontal ridges along its bottom. The suction hose dumps the gravels across the ridges and they spill out the end in big piles. But the gold, which is much denser than ordinary sand, silt or gravel, collects behind the ridges or riffles.
Salmon River miners even have an expression when they want to praise something. They call it "top riffle." That's also where the most and the biggest gold particles end up.
The details of the no-sluice, non-suction-dredge device are outlined in the New 49ers website at http://www.goldgold.com/. In essence, it recommends suctioning the richest gold bearing materials into a not-too-large tank located close to the river bank. Then the miner can recover the gold there using a gold pan.
Part of the appeal of suction dredges is that they can move large amounts of material quickly, but large amounts of material would quickly overwhelm the not-too-large tank. (Agencies and tribes have opposed dredging because it creates holes and gravel piles in the channels that free sediments and trapped mercury and that complicate fish spawning grounds.)
The website suggests discarding the overburden, which rarely carries gold, and only pumping the more concentrated "paydirt" found along bedrock or in crevices into the tank. It even cautions miners experimenting with the proposed system against making big excavations which "might provoke streambed alteration concerns."
Dave McCracken, who founded the New 49ers in the early 1980s, mentions in the website that he is not an attorney but that the 49ers lawyer agrees with the explanation. He also quotes an email from Mark Stopher, a senior policy advisor with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Stopher is quoted saying, "If practiced as (McCracken) describes, this is not a violation of the moratorium and is not prohibited… It's essentially a loophole in the existing law. ..My guess is that such a system will be less efficient, and less excavation will occur, than if you were using a suction dredge since there is no sluice box and miners will need to use some other system to sort through the material."
In an interview with the Two Rivers Tribune, Stopher said the definition of a suction dredge with the three elements—pump, hose and sluice, originated in 1961 legislation and has been carried forward in all legislation since then. He said no one would have tried this before the moratorium and that he personally preferred his agencies dredging regulations and permit system which stated when, how and where dredging could be done.
One of the places where the new no-sluice mining may get trialed first would be a handful of Klamath River claims just downriver from the Independence Creek bridge, between Somes Bar and Happy Camp.
The area is attractive to miners for this use because there is much exposed bedrock, meaning less troublesome overburden. The area is also valued by groups working to rebuild fish populations because the channels where Independence Creek enters the Klamath are ideal refugia for juvenile fish, including Coho salmon.
He said the latest set of proposed regulations from his agency are the subject of six separate lawsuits. Several were from miners, who found them too restrictive, a "taking" of property, and outside the jurisdiction of a state agency. Another litigant was the Karuk Tribe, which said the regs did not comply with the California Environmental Quality Act.
The Karuk position in this case has been joined by 20 fishing and environmental groups.
All six of the suits have been handed to a judge in San Bernardino County. Stopher said, against this uncertain legal background, his agency was still required to file an update report with the legislature by April. His prediction for the future: "Nothing much will change for the next few months, but after that my crystal ball is foggy."
In another round of river litigation, lawsuits from the Karuk Tribe and the environmental group Klamath Riverkeeper have been joined together by the federal court in Sacramento. Both suits were filed against the Montague Irrigation District and charged that ranchers in the area were drawing so much water from the Shasta River at critical times that passage of spawning salmon was impossible, causing a crash in populations.
The judge in that case has ordered that all the parties engage in negotiations and a mediation to see if they can reach a settlement.
In still another water use case, the Farm Bureau brought a successful suit in a superior court in Yreka challenging the authority of the state's Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to require a streambed alteration permit from irrigators when they diverted surface water from a river or a creek.
The judge held that requiring the permit, called a 1602, was giving CDFW the authority to regulate a water right, a power held by the state's Water Resources Control Board.
Craig Tucker, Klamath coordinator for the Karuk Tribe, and other river activists said the Tribe hoped that CDFW would appeal the case because its impact would be powerful, not just in Siskiyou County, but across the state.
Mark Stopher, from CDFW, said the Yreka ruling by judge Karen Dixon was "the subject of considerable internal discussion and the director will make the decision."

Saving the spawning beds is main contradiction plus, or minus to keeping the ecological organic balances of life that our specie needs for its very survival. Too disrupt the rivers web-of-life is really silly and wrongheaded.
Fort knox has gold in bricks for perhaps a hundred years and there is no shortage of gold nor is there any pressing need for society to start collapsing its web-of-life to get more. Fish hatcheries on the rivers to help the salmon to come back in real time is far more precious to the ecological organic balances of life.
In fact with solar energy panels the shortage of water could be made up for agriculture and the survival of the various species of fish, simply by sucking the Ocean water out, where it is not harmful to the web-of-life, and running it through land Saline Plants to drop the salt out, then with solar power into fresh water pipelines back to the rivers sources to lift the spawning areas, and to supply the agricultural needs without disrupting the natural flow of the rivers. That would be worth more than all the gold in California. Workers of the world unite!!

A U.N. special envoy on human rights in North Korea said the country should be held to account for its state-sponsored abductions, slamming the disappearances as a "crime against humanity."
The condemnation by Marzuki Darusman, who spoke Monday during a meeting in Tokyo with members of Japanese families whose children and siblings were kidnapped by North Koreans, is the latest rebuke against Pyongyang over widespread rights abuses.
"This is not just a tragedy, but it is a crime against humanity," he told reporters.
He called on North Korea to "acknowledge that abductions have been undertaken by the state with complicity and knowledge at the highest level of leadership."
Later in the day, Darusman met with Katsunobu Kato, state minister in charge of the abduction issue.
"Japan does not intend to close the window for dialogue with North Korea," Kato told Darusman during their meeting, which was open to the media. "Japan will tackle the (issue) and make every effort to bring the abductees back to Japan as soon as possible."
The special envoy will report his findings and recommendations to the U.N. Human Rights Council in March, before the end of his tenure in July.
Darusman was involved in a 2014 report from the U.N. Commission of Inquiry on human rights in North Korea that detailed what it described as horrific abuses in the isolated nation. After the report was issued, the U.N. Security Council agreed to formally take up the human rights situation there.
North Korea admitted in 2002 that it had dispatched agents to kidnap 13 Japanese in the 1970s and 1980s who were tasked with training its spies in the Japanese language and customs.
Five of the abductees were allowed to return to Japan, but Pyongyang has insisted, without producing solid evidence, the eight others are dead.
Around 500 South Koreans were also kidnapped by North Korea in the years following the 1950-1953 Korean War.
Suspicions persist in Japan that many more of its citizens have been abducted than officially recognized.
The lack of diplomatic relations between the two countries, along with Pyongyang's pariah status internationally due to its nuclear and missile programs, have hampered progress on the issue.
"My beloved child was taken away and many years have passed," Sakie Yokota, whose 13-year-old daughter, Megumi, was abducted in 1977, told Darusman. "It's been 38 years but I haven't been able to meet or speak with her. There is no information as to how she has been doing."
North Korea has said Megumi Yokota was one of the deceased, insisting she committed suicide, though her parents and other supporters say Pyongyang cannot be believed.
Japan and North Korea struck a deal in 2014 in which the secretive state said it would investigate the abduction of Japanese citizens, though Tokyo has voiced frustration at the lack of progress.

How and where on your body do you want to carry?
Im looking for a good conceal and carry holster for my judge public defender but not having any luck......can any of y'all point me in a good direction to start looking.....thanks
How and where on your body do you want to carry?
Galco makes what probably are the highest-quality readymade holsters and belts. But they're not cheap. Click on: Galco holsters; Holsters; Gun holster, pistol holsters, western holsters, shoulder holsters, leather holster and Glock holsters
I happen to like Bob Mernickle's custom-made holsters. Click on: MERNICKLE HOLSTERS
The very best custom-made work is by Mitch Rosen Gunleather. Click on: Mitch Rosen Gunleather
I would like to try in the waist band if its possible
Thanks steve ill look at those sites you have links for
For a pretty dang good IWB holster that is proven reliable and not a lot of $$ try
crossbread or old faithful or my favorite Conceal technology
The 3 are pretty dang good quality and work very well. So as not to up set anyone this suggestion is offered as another option to Galco and not in any way intended to make light of the quality product they offer.
The Crossbreed product certainly looks as if it's a better basic design than the comparable Galco outfit, but I've never used either one.
Certainly, Crossbreed's design came first, and the Galco version is, as we used to say, a ripoff. But Galco's all-leather products are extremely good.
Dude definitely check Kangaroo carry holsters, they just came out with Air Marshal 3 which is awesome, I carry a Glock 23 but it fits almost anything and will actually conceal it.
Kangaroo Carry Air Marshal 3: Best holster I have seen for conceal carry purposes | thoughtsofreasonorinsanity
Elastic-band-around-the-chest holsters are hard to access quickly.
They are also uncomfortable to wear for any length of time, and they interfere with your breathing when your adrenalin is up.
Elastic-fabric holsters let the pistol bury itself so deeply inside them that establishing a firing grip before making a presentation is very difficult and clumsy.
Kangaroo-Carry holsters are just the most recent iteration in a long line of failed elastic-strap rigs.
If you were to actually try to use one in, say, some sort of practical concealed-pistol competition, you would quickly discover the faults I've mentioned, plus many, many others.
I would find someone in your community who can make a custom fit leather holster. I am most pleased with my pocket custom leather holster for my Beretta Nano. Best $40 I have spent and it fits like a glove. You can't get the perfect fit with brand name holsters and you are going to pay about the same price. I trusted the person who did my holster enough to leave my Nano with him so he could mold the leather to my handgun. It only took 3 days.
Dude my opinion is this, wear an undershirt and have the right size holster and comfort isnt an issue. I dont where conceal carry when I am out running, I think you can deal with some heavy breathing for few minutes of contact if it actually happens.
As far as the time required to draw and engage a target, really comes down to your use of conceal carry. It isnt the wild west anymore where you need to quick draw on some guy and if someone already has the drop on you it really isnt going to matter. Most situations that would require you to pull out your weapon you will have enough time to be in some sort of concealment or cover and have 2-3 seconds to pull out your weapon and take a breathe before you worry about anything else. In situations where your threat level is so high that you need to have a quick draw and drop someone you obviously are not going to be carrying like that and using a hip holster and probably not even concealing anymore. All comes down to use of the holster and what your job is and what you are trying to get from the holster.
Concealed carry competition is not real world it is a competition, if I know I am going to go to my job everyday and shoot someone I am going to dress a little differently than if I am going to work to do my standard tasks. Kangaroo carry is great for real, not a huge chance I am getting in a dual outside the saloon with Bill the Kid today world.
If I could do that as well as you say you can, I just wouldn't leave the house when I "knew" that I'd be in a serious, shoot-quickly confrontation at some later time in the day.
I guess I'm just not at your level of expertise.
Oh: BTW, my name isn't "Dude." Not only that, but I know how to ride a horse, and I have enough sense not to go to town wearing cow-pie-kicking boots, so you really can't address me as "Dude" in terms of my experience, either.
I'd appreciate it if you would look at the top of my posts and decode the mystery that is my actual name.
So please don't call me "Dude."
I guess not Steve...
Dont take it personal "Steve" I am a dude that likes to joke around. I dont like people blowing off good products. Most people and their situations, the wrap around conceal holster is going to be better than a hip holster. With the average amount of training a person is going to have, clothing requirement for their work, and the chances of an actual situation requiring you to use a weapon being so low in their places of work it is much more practical. But yeah if you are shooting in a competition I would think you would know that it wouldnt be best holster for that but dont blow it off when most people and their need for the holster would be met better by this product.
Threat level and knowing when you are in a higher one, just saying a townhall meeting in Washington State is going to be a little lower than downtown Kabul. Even then if someone is going to kill you or attack you it really isnt going to matter too much if they are a professional at all or fully committed to the act (aka sucide bomber or shooter - escape after attack not required) you are going to have a few seconds to get out a weapon if you need to! You should be spending time to analyze the situation and the adversary and you probably want to decide if you really need to even engage yourself in mortal combat. A concealed weapon is a last line fo defense not something you are iching to use. You should plan as if you dont have it, train like you are going to need it everytime, and treat it as a hidden surprise you have it IF you need it.
I'm sticking with Steve. Steve has given a lot of great advice to me and countless others on this forum. Thanks Steve.
UBG Holsters, he can accommodate you....
To be continued.
The shirt holsters have their place as a deep concealment option where concealment is the priority.
I can manage to hide some fairly large autos in an IWB in corporate casual etc.
When it comes to getting a gun into play, easier to access and easier to deploy is very, very hard to argue against and personally, I just don't like having something strapped on my body like that.
For "every day carry" where deep concealment is not the ultimate worry, a good IWB is the way to go. I have / had a good number of products from UBG, I favor the Canute IWB holster from him as I prefer the snap loops to clips.
I've tried my Wife's Crossbreed Supertuck and it was not comfortable while seated and did not care for the larger surface area of the scrap of leather but plenty of other people seem to like it.
Desibens Custom Gun Leather also has the 2" bbl Judge in their gun list, I've had favorable dealings with him in the past.
Check out Mackenzie Holsters. I got one from them and I love it it's half the price as other brands and the Quality is as good as some and better than others. I highly recommend them. I got a IWB Hybrid with Horsehide and color shell for $52.95 I had it on my doorstep in 5 days from order. They have a lifetime warranty on all there holsters. They can be contacted at Mackenzie Enterprise!, Take Charge Now!
