Penguins say playoff series against Columbus could fuel rivalry
Meeting here and there during the regular season doesn't ignite a rivalry.
But by playing the Columbus Blue Jackets for the first time in a playoff series, Penguins coach Dan Bylsma figures this might be enough to create animosity with his team's closest geographic rival.
"Having played in places like Anaheim and L.A., you can't get (a rivalry) without getting the playoff matchup," Bylsma said. "Once you get that animosity there, once you get that playoff (matchup), now you're going to have a rivalry."
Time will tell whether this one turns into anything substantial.
Last night's overtime game, which ended too late for this edition, should help to further that cause.
Same for the five guaranteed meetings every season because Pittsburgh and Columbus are now in the same division.
The Penguins (51-24-6, 108 points) won all five meetings this season by a combined score of 16-7.
With the NHL realigning divisions prior to this season, Columbus moved into the Eastern Conference and finished fourth in the Metropolitan Division.
"I think having them be in our division for the first time this year, you want to build a rivalry right off the hop," Bylsma said. "You play them in the preseason like we have in the past, maybe even one time in our division … it hasn't been the same rivalry type of matchup as Philadelphia or even Washington.
"Now you're getting a playoff series against them. I think proximity and the closeness, our fans, their fans … you're going to get that animosity and playoff-type of rivalry from the close proximity."
The Penguins are 15-3-1 all time against Columbus.
They trailed for all of 56 seconds in dominating the season series in 2013-14, although Blue Jackets starting goalie Sergei Bobrovsky has played just 13 minutes against the Penguins this season because of a groin injury and the flu.
One of the biggest factors during the regular season was the Penguins' penalty kill, which held Columbus to one goal in 14 chances (7.1 percent). The Blue Jackets actually outshot Pittsburgh, 155-145, during the five-game series.
Center Ryan Johansen, who is 21, led Columbus with 33 goals. Defenseman James Wisniewski had a team-high 44 assists.
"They have a good, fast team. They've got skill," Penguins winger Harry Zolnierczyk said. "They're a team you can't let linger around. You let them linger around, and as of late, they've been able to score. You have to make sure you dictate the game and not let them get going."
Blue Jackets games at Nationwide Arena routinely feature Penguins fans who are transplants or willing to make the drive: doable in under three hours.
The atmosphere — the team's goal cannon not included — usually doesn't lack for excitement.
Upon learning Saturday night that Columbus would be the Penguins' first-round opponent, winger Jayson Megna said he started thinking back to those five games and how they may play into the current series.
"They're a very good team," Megna said. "I think they had a really good year. I think that it's going to be a great matchup for us. It'll be a great series. It's going to be a hard-fought series.
"It's a great atmosphere there. They have a great following. We have an excellent following. They're so close together that it should make for a great playoff matchup."

Westhill Consulting Travel and Tours Singapore one of our most popular destinations Chaotic, crazy and crowded. But that's what makes Indonesia's capital so unique.
There are places you will fall in love with at first sight and some that you won't. It's usually the first impressions that makes us love or hate a place. But cities are like women. Some will throw themselves at you, and some will make you chase them. Which woman would you go for?
Jakarta, Indonesia is an example of the latter, you have to dig a little bit deeper to get to know her. She may seem hesitant at first and is happy to let you wait, until you take the time to properly understand her. Then, she'll give you everything you need. To me, she might even be the unofficial queen of Southeast Asia.
Jakarta is not Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur or Singapore. Some people say "If you don't like her, she won't like you". After a few days I understood why. To be honest, after landing in Jakarta I had no idea what to expect. You don't hear much about it and as soon as you exit the terminal you already feel lost. It is big and hot and busy. Not to mention the traffic. I didn't really get the vibe at first. Although soon enough, I understood what the magic of Jakarta was. It is truly Asia, more so than many other Southeast Asian cities you will discover on your journey.
So here are a few reasons why you should experience Jakarta for yourself.
Jakarta traffic is more symbolic of 'Asia' than Bangkok and Saigon put together
Three million cars, nine million motorbikes and inadequate public transport. Experts predict that in 2014 the whole traffic in the city will collapse. During rush hour the average speed in the inner city is around 10 km/h and if you're lucky, it will only take you three hours to get to work. The average citizen of Jakarta has his breakfast in the car on their way to work. Yes the traffic in Jakarta is full on and you need superhuman patience and nerves of steel to survive it. But it can also have positive effects. During rush hour there needs to be at least three people in the car otherwise drivers get fined, and a lot of Indonesian mothers who normally would have trouble finding employment have taken this fact and used it to their advantage. They offer their presence to wealthy businessmen and sitting in their car with them during these peak hours to help them avoid the fine in exchange for some income. Genius.
Find a rooftop on any evening and listen to adzan, Islam's call to prayer
My CouchSurfing host lived somewhere in the middle of the city in a typically tall building. I explored its rooftop which overlooked the surrounding areas and on the horizon was a beautiful view of Jakarta's skyline. It was around 7 p.m. when the sun was going to rest, when the call to prayer occurred. It was such a unique experience in this city. You could hear it from many mosques all over the city. It is hard to explain what I felt at that moment, but it really left an impression. Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim-majority nation with 87 percent following Islam as their religion. If people are talking about going to the 'stadium' they ain't talking about football
No opinion in Jakarta is more divided than those about the Stadium. Some people love it, and others hate it. You hear many, many stories about it and it's up to you whether you believe them or not. One thing is for sure, whenever you ask about Jakarta's nightlife someone will mention the Stadium.
What is this place though and why is it so popular? Well, one thing that is heavily associated with it are drugs. Sure, you will find drugs in any night club in the world but at the Stadium it seems to be a continuous issue due to the fact that because most Indonesians don't drink alcohol due to their religious beliefs, they might substitute it with a pill instead. True or not, most of world's top DJ's have performed or will most likely perform at Stadium at some point in their careers. It is a great place with awesome acts and a great audience. Otherwise people wouldn't talk about it. I reckon it is a must see and if you like good techno, then the Stadium is definitely worth checking out.
You can experience Indonesia in just one day in Jakarta
How can I see a whole country in a day by just staying in Jakarta, that doesn't make sense. Yes that's what I thought too. My local friends took me to a park called Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, which essentially translates to "Beautiful Indonesia Miniature Park". The park was opened in 1975 and unfortunately doesn't really look well maintained. The lizard house especially looked a bit sad and I felt sorry for the animals. But once you're there you get the chance to pat a Komodo dragon, even though it probably hasn't moved since 1975. But it's still a great way to get to know the local culture of each province in Indonesia. You get to learn about local habits, look at different architecture, clothing, food and many more aspects of Indonesia's culture. There is a big lake in the middle of the park with a little island in the shape of the country. If you have the guts to take the cable car you can enjoy a stunning view of it from above.
Indonesians will make you feel like a star
First of all, Indonesians are super hospitable people and they are very friendly towards foreigners. But there aren't as many foreign tourists in Jakarta as you might think. You will get a lot of attention and the locals will genuinely be very keen to get to know you. That's in fact amazing to me. In Thailand a lot of the locals seem to get easily bemused and simultaneously annoyed by the mass tourists, and this won't be the case in Indonesia. The most surprising thing was the local CouchSurfing scene though. I'd received about a hundred various emails offering help, recommendations and hosting offers. I was blown away by the kindness of those people so I decided to meet as many as I could. We organized a big CouchSurfing meeting and many local Indonesian travelers attended. Their enthusiasm was unbelievable and I made a lot of friends that day. Even a crew from Metro TV came and filmed a little documentary for the national channel about CouchSurfing.

Tips on Taking Better Care Of Your Health While Vacationing Abroad
My experience with world travel began when I was 14 years old, spending six weeks in Israel with a group of students from my Hebrew High School. Together we learned about the rich history and culture in a place we read about from the time we began to read.
We traveled all around the country — Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Kiryat Shmona, and many other cities and villages in between. A medic and a soldier accompanied us as we hiked through the Golan Heights, and we laughed while floating in the salt water of The Dead Sea.
It was a magical trip and we required little sleep. We were young, curious and full of energy.
Fast-forward sixteen years later when, in 1990, my husband and I traveled to Italy. We decided to visit that beautiful country before starting a family, and thought it best to book our trip with a tour.

The secret airlines don't want you to know
London – Which airline seats make the most profit? Are they up front in first class, which can sell for up to £20 000 (R355 000) return? Or, economy at the back, crammed so tight you risk concussing the person behind you if you recline your seat? In fact, it's neither.
The most lucrative section of the plane didn't even exist until the early '90s: premium economy.
The concept is simple: the passenger gets a little more legroom, a bigger baggage allowance and a glass of bubbly. But, it's not cheap.
If you want to fly from London to Los Angeles next month with Virgin Atlantic, the most expensive one-way premium economy ticket will cost £2 340 to £1 000 more than the cheapest economy option.
An upper class seat would cost £7 000 one way. But, here's the secret airlines don't want you to know: the premium extras don't cost them anything near £1 000. A business class seat uses three times as much space as an economy one, while a premium economy seat takes up only 50 percent more space.
Virgin Atlantic introduced premium economy in 1992. Now, it's available on many airlines.

Southeast Asia is a great destination for a cruise, Jakarta, Indonesia, KL, Malaysia, Beijing China, Singapore and much more, but if want to wander away from the beaten path on an Asian cruise vacation, consider booking a trip that calls in beautiful and exciting Angkor Wat, Cambodia. You will experience many of Cambodia's ancient temples, incredible jungles, pristine beaches and exciting excursions at the nation's sole deepwater port at Sihanoukville.
The Ruins of Angkor, one of the most significant archeological sites in all of Asia, date back to the reign of the Khmer Empire between the 9th and 15th centuries.
Protected UNESCO World Heritage location, Angkor Archaeological Park spans hundreds of square miles and is consists of a huge collection of remarkable monuments, temples and capital buildings. An example is the well-known Temple of Angkor Wat located at the center of the park as well as the other architectural marvels like Bayon, Preah Khan and Ta Prohm. You can interact with residents from the local villages that still call the ruins of Angkor home.

Wat Krom translates to "lower wat," and is located on a small hill on Santipheap Street overlooking the coastline. Alternately, Wat Leu – the "upper wat" – sits on a taller mountain nearby and offers picturesque views of the town below. Both of these incredible sites feature impressive stonework and are decorated with statues of elephants and the Buddha.

Tech Tips, and Warnings, for Budget Travelers
If you're reading this on any device other than a mobile phone, you're behind the times. If I can't persuade you to post this piece on Facebook, I'm doomed to irrelevance. And if you want to tweet a complaint about my bad jokes or ask for a restaurant recommendation in Heathrow, I'd better have a round-the-clock team ready to respond.
O.K., so those lessons were intended not for me but for the travel industry types at EyeforTravel's Social Media and Mobile Strategies for Travel conference, which I attended last week in San Francisco. I did, though, pick up some tips — and a few warnings — about how a budget traveler should maneuver in this fast-changing world.
Westhill Consulting Travel News: Terrorist Bashir 'wants to disrupt polls'
Westhill Consulting Travel & Tours Singapore: JAKARTA, April 7 AAP – According to a media report, Radical cleric Abu Bakar Bashir has called for his supporters to disrupt this week's Indonesian legislative elections.
Indonesian police is watchful after Bali bombing mastermind Abu Bakar Bashir encouraged supporters to interrupt this week's Indonesian legislative elections.
The convicted terrorist has asked supporters not to be "unproductive" and to create disorder Wednesday's nationwide ballot.
A warning has been sent by Indonesia's anti-terror forces that a terrorist network could be planning an attack, said Police Lieutenant Colonel Adi Deriyan Jayamarta told Indonesia's Kompas news website police.
An order was imposed by the police chief, based in Malang, East Java, that officers has to stay in communication with religious leaders and approach any suspicious object with care, especially near polling stations.
"There's expert personnel who will handle it," he said on Monday.

Travel airfare, despite hundreds of promos available, isn't all they're cracked up to be. On the one hand, some routes are still higher than they were in previous years, and some even keep getting higher. What's different now is that more people can afford travel airfare and more and more are realizing the benefits of traveling in their lives.
On the other hand, there have been adjustments in some travel airfares because of inflation and competition. Most fares are now lower than they were decades ago. With that said, below are the Top 5 Tips on how to search and choose the best of travel airfare:
Top Travel Airfare Searching Tip # 1: Be persistent. Never give up the search, and when you find a deal, go for it! Travel airfare change constantly throughout the day. You never know, but when someone holding the seat with the lowest fare changes his or her mind at the last minute, that seat goes back into inventory and into your hands. Check in constantly, never give up and just be patient. After all, it's easy to leave your laptop open on the browser page where you're searching for travel airfare fare and just keep hitting that refresh icon.
Top Travel Airfare Searching Tip # 2: E-mails are useful. Get airlines' email feeds. You never know when something might come up. Sign up for airlines' emails and sometimes you'll get special deals and promos from them.
Top Travel Airfare Searching Tip # 3: You need social media. Use Twitter. Need we say more? Social media has helped in spreading the word on just about anything. Use it to your advantage and find the best travel airfare by getting real-time updates.
A very helpful Twitter account worth following is @Airfarewatchdog. They tweet random airfare deals and promo codes to their follows every day of the week.
Top Travel Airfare Searching Tip # 4: Search airline sites individually. Most airlines have "private" sales, where you can only see their best fares on their own sites. They may be unannounced to prevent overcrowding as well. Still, travel agencies like Expedia and Travelocity are useful because they will tell you if it's cheaper flying out on one airline and back on another.
Top Travel Airfare Searching Tip # 5: Use Priceline for last minute journeys. If you can't purchase your travel airfare way in advance, you should check out the "name your own price" feature in Priceline.com. This helps you save 50% or more on your airfare expenses. Travel airfare nowadays may be hard or easy to find, depending on the one who's searching. It may also range from the incredibly expensive to the ridiculously cheap, also depending on the one looking. It just takes time, perseverance and a whole lot of patience to get the best airfare rates, save a lot and use that money saved to enjoy your travel even more.

Travel to Indonesia or Komodo dragons, manta rays and the pleasures of Sumatra
Forget postcard-pretty Bali and go deep into the planet's wildest archipelago.
With around 18,000 tropical volcanic islands, this archipelago is easily the world's largest. The Indonesian islands are the stuff of legend – lush, forested gems scattered in the turquoise seas, steamy jungles, storybook monsters and exotic locales.
From the north-western tip of Sumatra to the south-eastern corner of Irian Jaya, this unique destination spans more than 3,000 miles. It's seen huge growth year on year for Brits travelling beyond Bali and the first direct flights from Britain to the booming megacity of Jakarta (on the island of Java) with Garuda, launching on May 29, will make getting there easier. Thanks to a slump in the value of the Indonesian rupiah against the pound, there's never been a better-value time to visit.
To a mediaeval mapmaker, the world was a vast and scary place. Explorers that braved the seemingly endless oceans in search of new worlds often didn't return, and those that did carried with them nightmarish tales of monsters and serpents. It was the mapmaker's task to warn future travelers of the dangers that awaited them in far-off lands. Based on their drawings, I cannot even begin to imagine the beasts that haunted these cartographer's dreams. Their creative expressions of fear were eventually distilled into asingle, ominous phrase: here be dragons.
The government is campaigning hard to get the park onto a new list of the Seven Wonders of Nature _ a long shot, but an attempt to at least raise awareness. The park's rugged hills and savannahs are home to orange-footed scrub fowl, wild boar and small wild horses, and the surrounding coral reefs and bays harbor more than a dozen whale species, dolphins and sea turtles.
The central tourist attractions are located in the center of the city. Westhill Consulting Travel & Tours Singapore provides you with useful information of must sees in Jakarta, Indonesia
Kota district is the centre of old Batavia. It is the tourist hub of Jakarta. The focal action is centered in the historic Taman Fatahillah, a paved square that looks like it came from another era. If you visit the old port area, Sunda Kelapa, you can see the schooners returning from the high seas to trade their exotic spices. It is a picture immortalized in Joseph Conrad evocative descriptions. Jakarta's most unforeseen attractions is the vibrantly painted sailing ships are.
The Maritime Museum, is situated in Sunda Kelapa. A warehouse for the Dutch is now home to the maritime museum but not until the 19th century. The various adventures at sea was brought to life by the model boats and faded sepia photos, it includes the voyage to Jakarta from Europe via Aden. You can take in the spectacular views of the surroundings from the old watchtower.
From Indonesia and Southeast Asia, the Puppet Museum is a treasure house of puppets. You can witness an attention-grabbing collection of traditional Indonesian puppets like wayang kulit and wayang golek. You can enjoy puppet shows, which are a regular feature of the museum.
Jakarta's most famous landmark, towering over Merdeka Square, is the National Monument (Monas). This imposing monument is a symbol of Indonesia's independence and strength. The monument is 132 meters tall and topped with 35 kilograms of gold. The Freedom Hall represents Indonesia's fight for independence through a succession of dioramas. Take an elevator to the observation platform and to have a bird's-eye view of the cityscape. At the base of the National Monument is the National Museum.
National Museum is Jakarta's most impressive museum, the National Museum presents fascinating flashbacks into the history of the city and Indonesia. There are early Chinese ceramics, pieces culled from Java's myriad temples and a bronze elephant that was gifted to the museum by the King of Thailand as exhibits.

Experience the Indonesia's rich cultural heritage at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, a sprawling 100-hectare park in Jakarta is an exciting diversion. Each of Indonesia's provinces has pavilions with displays of regional handicrafts and clothing. There is a huge 'lagoon' where you can roam around the islands of this archipelago. You can also take in a bird's eye view from the cable cars. What's more, there are museums, theatres, restaurants and a bird park with a walk-in aviary.
Ragunan Zoo is located 16 km south of the city centre in the Pasar Minggu area. The zoo is home to approximately 4000 animals, like the well-known Komodo dragons. The formidable Java tigers are a further highlight of this park. You can spend hours just wandering around the extensive parklands, rainforests, and a landscaped lake.
This stunning Old Dutch quarter, Taman Fatahillah, is home to some old and ancient monuments. This is a grand place to view some remarkable colonial architecture. The focal attractions here are the oldest church in Jakarta, the Gereja Sion and Si Jagur, the cannon which symbolized fertility.
Business Trip? Book It Yourself http://www.afr.com/p/onlinebookingtoolkeepsstaff_3KcfVkeOSf0MsXQYYPuZvK
CHRIS TOLHURST Companies are increasingly insisting on their staff booking business trips online. In fact, a recent survey of European and US business travellers suggests 66 per cent now have access to self-booking tools and 60 per cent are using them regularly.
Take-up rates for self-booking are even higher among Australian companies. Local travel agents say 90 per cent or more of clients are booking their domestic business trips using customised self-booking tools (SBTs).
The results of the survey of European and US booking practices, by travel distribution company Amadeus, were disputed by key European corporate travel figures when the findings were released late last year. British travel agents said that 60 per cent of business travellers do not book themselves – a strong claim borne out by the amount of business transacted through specialist business travel agencies, known as Travel Management Companies (TMCs).

Jakarta, the capital and largest city of Indonesia, has a hot and humid tropical wet and dry climate.
Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia, is located at the northwest end of Java Island faces north onto Jakarta Bay and the Java Sea. Being the regional center for business and culture and is also the jumping off point for reaching the Thousand Islands (Kepulauan Seribu) National Park, Jakarta has been booming on its tourism.
Located in the cosmopolitan, Jakarta has a superior modern edifices, old colonial style buildings, monuments, mosques and green parks that offer lovely contrasts. Visitor travels around in the central part of the city naming Merdeka Square and the National Monument, Istiqlal Mosque, Jakarta Cathedral. There are a lot of shopping malls and the gem in the city's crown in the Old Jakarta city quarter.

Old Jakarta is full of heritage structures. The examples of these heritage structures are: Wayang Museum, the Port Tower (Menara Syahbandar) and Kota Intan Drawbridge while a cultural park, Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, is in Jakarta's eastern suburbs and features exhibits, cultural shows and reconstructions from all over Indonesia.
The best time to visit Jakarta is during the dry season months from July to October but due to the drainage system being swamped, the Jakarta weather in the wet season months can cause flooding in parts of the city so this isn't the best time to visit. While, visitors who wish to spend the holidays in Pramuka Island or other islands in Kepulauan Seribu near Jakarta may perhaps visit in the rainy season, as it seldom rains for the whole day.
It is the wet season in Jakarta during November till June Jakarta. January is the wettest month of the year when it receives around 400 mm of precipitation. Moreover, the month witnesses only 92 hours of sunshine. Throughout the wet season the average high stands at 32°C while the low falls to 24°C. In fact, temperature hardly varies from season to season in Jakarta. While the rest of the month remains dry in Jakarta. During Summer Jakarta remains hot and humid with the average high of 34°C while the low stands at mid twenties. Rainfall is very much uncommon in the city, but not rare as September gets around 29 mm of precipitation. Although temperature remains somewhat hotter than those of monsoon months, it is the best season to visit the capital city of Indonesia.
I'm coming to Jakarta in July and want to go to Bandung by bus while I'm there, which is the best most comfortable bus available,
There should be no problem in getting a seat in Cipaganti and X-Trans since they provide scheduled shuttle service. They have counters at the airport and leaves for Bandung every 1 hour. You will have to call them up if you want to make a booking and it is not toll-free.
There is no on-line booking engine for shuttle tickets, the tickets are easily obtained on the spot, each shuttle company has a designated counter in the arrival hall. Avoid touts, stick to the recommended options and keep a close eye on your luggage.
You will meet people from different places – locals and visitors from different countries – all willing to share with you their knowledge and experience of this destination.
JKt-BDG shuttle is a point-to-point service without intermediate stops. If you are not happy with termination at Jl. Chihampelas, you can choose a final stop at the Chipaganti pool on Jl. Paster.
The nearest shuttle termination stop will be Chipaganti pool on Jl. Paster, from there get a short taxi ride to your hotel.
If you're traveling internationally, check with your carrier on whether your phone will even work with cellular networks abroad. If it doesn't, you can still use apps through Wi-Fi connections at hotels and malls. Your phone company might even rent or loan a compatible phone.
You can also watch HBO Go and Hulu, listen to Pandora Radio or access Facebook in China. All you need is a VPN. This stands for "Virtual Private Network," and what it does is run your Internet traffic through a network with a different IP address, making your computer look like it's back in the states, while you're typing away in a hostel in Beijing.

>> licenses, there'll be too many cabbies for anyone to make
>> decent living.
I'm glad I live in Luton, which has issued a decent
number of taxi and minicab licences. Prices are 50% less than
neighbouring Dinstable and Dunstable makes Leighton Buzzard look cheap. Because the
prices are sensible, plenty of people use cabs, so they have
a much higher turnover than those in neighbouring towns.
I chatted to a NY cabbie and apparently there are are heavy costs to get a cab on the streets Licenses, insurance etc. They don't like long distance trips as they are likely to come back to the city empty and therefore earning nothing. Best fares are quite short so a new fare can be picked up quickly, full cab as much as possible makes sense I suppose.
Not as much as you might imagine. I remember reading
an article in a professional tax magazine entitled...
I can tell you that you NEVER see a poor cabbie.
Most of the time you will find them (when they
are not actually working the sherbert dab)in the travel agents booking

a lot less then footballers, pop stars and bankers... probably pay more tax per pound earned as well... no holiday or sick pay. you could always walk the short journey and save £5... most taxi drivers will tell you the way when asked! p.s. i'm not a cab driver but i'm happy to use them when i want! p.p.s. thinking about becoming one!! if the money is good enough!
My father was a taxi driver for more than a decade. The pay wasnt golden but it was at least flexible (if you needed extra money you could pick up extra work, a luxury a 9to5er hasnt got) but it wasnt the worst job in the world.
Best available rate 9.20%
Total repayment £9,304.93
Total cost of credit £1,804.93
60 monthly payments
Representative example
The Representative APR is 13.2% (fixed) so if you borrow £7,500 over 4 years at a rate of 13.2% p.a (fixed) you will repay £199.21 per month and repay £9562.20 in total.

Disappointed In My New Bug Deflector
I just got the new Mopar Bug Deflector (complete with Jeep logo) that I ordered. It seemed awfully inexpensive, but I wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth, and it was the "official" Mopar deflector, so I went for it.
When I installed it, I found that it has apparently been drastically redesigned since I put one on my 2010. On my 2010, I actually drilled and screwed it into the underside of my hood, so no hardware showed. It looked really nice. This thing on my 2012 has pre-drilled holes right on the face of the guard where you put screws through to the metal brackets that clip to the hood.
This seems like a major step backward in design, to me. Who wants the hardware showing? But, I went ahead and installed it. What choice do I have? I really wanted this one. I like having the Jeep logo on there. Dumb or not, I like it (the logo, not the screws showing).
Anyway, I just wanted to rant and see if anyone else has similar feelings.
Re: Disappointed In My New Bug Deflector
Did you get the black one or the (god awful) chrome one?
The black one on my mine has the screws on the front but you can barely notice them.
Re: Disappointed In My New Bug Deflector
LOL No, I got the smoked (black) one. And you're right, it's not like it screams at you. I guess maybe it's one of those things that I know it's there and it bothers me. But I still think it's a step backward in design.
Re: Disappointed In My New Bug Deflector
When I installed mine, I was looking for screw caps or something. Found none, checked the instructions and yup that's it, the screws remain exposed.
Hopefully they don't rust!
Re: Disappointed In My New Bug Deflector
Yeah. And the other thing was, it looked kinda flimsy. I used blue lock tite on all of my screws.
Re: Disappointed In My New Bug Deflector
I guess they figured that, if you don't mind how dorky a bug deflector looks in the first place, you won't mind a little exposed hardware.
I tend to think of bug deflectors, mud flaps, and "bras" as the pocket protectors of the automotive world.
And yes, I have ruined both paint jobs and shirts.
Re: Disappointed In My New Bug Deflector
I agree. You should have viewed the online instructions, or searched first. I would never buy the Mopar bug shield. Typically, I like to stick with manufacturer accessories (Mopar in this case). However, several have been a flop (disappointment) with the WK2s. I don't like my nerf bars, nor mud flaps. On my previous ride (Aspen), they were perfect.
Re: Disappointed In My New Bug Deflector
exposed hardware is a tradeoff for not needing to drill out your hood. The deflector comes with paint protecting plastic tabs so that you can always remove it later. If you drill your hood, you are stuck with it.
Mine is the tinted one and is not flimsy, dealer installed and looks great, even with screw heads showing.
Re: Disappointed In My New Bug Deflector
Would something like this work.
Amazon.com: Cruiser Accessories 82050 Screw Covers, Black: Automotive
Re: Disappointed In My New Bug Deflector
I'd rather have it the way it is with hardware showing than have to drill into the underside of the hood...but that's just me.
^^^yup, me too. I have no problem with my bug deflector. I like the look. To each his/her own.
Re: Disappointed In My New Bug Deflector
Since I put on my "bug deflector" i run a much cleaner windshield , hence it's "functionality"
I always find it amusing when others put down or say bad things about something "they" don't like. maybe some people need to think and reflect before the write things for others to see, I don't know maybe like "not eveyone likes what I like or thinks how I think"?

I was so surprised but very happy to be given the DOG of the Day!
Thank you very much Dogster and all the nice pups who sent me presents too!
I have a great day strutting around with my tail held high and my chest puffed out!
I really enjoyed the honor and thank you all again very much!
Today I found out that my dear friend and fishing buddy has passed away tragically.
I am feeling a lot of things but the main thing I feel is I am glad to have had the opportunity to be pals with the best pup in the world Roscoe.
We had many a fishing trip together and we had many fun BBQ's and parties at his cabin and at my cabin at the lake in DW.
I am greatful to have known such a fun loving and great pal.
My heart hurts and I will miss him but I know he is free and with his beloved Dad.
My memories will go on forever.
I love you buddy

Regulatory Sanctions
GunnAllen's IT failures paralleled larger business problems. Formerly known as Napex Financial Corp., GunnAllen was founded in 1996 by Donald Gunn and Richard "Allen" Frueh. GunnAllen provided a place for brokers and dealers, who must be associated with a FINRA member firm in order to trade, to hang their shingle. But by 2008, senior members of the firm had come under fire for not properly vetting those brokers or monitoring what they were doing in the name of GunnAllen.
Notably, 2008 was when FINRA fined GunnAllen $750,000 for a "trade allocation scheme" conducted by former head trader Alexis J. Rivera. "In 2002 and 2003, the firm, acting through Rivera, engaged in a 'cherry picking' scheme in which Rivera allocated profitable stock trades to his wife's personal account instead of to the accounts of firm customers," according to FINRA. "Rivera garnered improper profits of more than $270,000 through this misconduct, which violated the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws and FINRA rules. Rivera was barred in December 2006."
FINRA accused GunnAllen's investment division of doing business with companies, then failing to inform the broker-dealer's own compliance department that those companies should be placed on a restricted or watch list for investments, as is required by the agency. FINRA also said the brokerage failed to safeguard non-public information in its investment division, meaning that other employees could have profited from insider information. Finally, FINRA accused GunnAllen of "failing to preserve emails and instant messages."
A lack of top-down oversight of Michigan-based GunnAllen broker Frank Bluestein ultimately led to the firm's demise. Bluestein resold investments on behalf of Ed May, who FINRA said "created and marketed unregistered investments" to an estimated 1,500 investors under the company he ran, E-M Management Co., LLC. In 2007, the SEC charged May with fraud, for allegedy running a Ponzi scheme focused on a fictitious Las Vegas casino and fake telecommunications equipment and leasing deals that took in more than $250 million before being discovered and stopped.
In 2009, the SEC also charged Bluestein with fraud. According to the SEC complaint, from 2002 to 2007 Bluestein ran seminars that "lured elderly investors into refinancing the mortgages on their homes," ultimately recruiting about 800 investors and securing $74 million in investments.
In April 2011, May plead guilty to 59 counts of mail fraud, received a 16-year prison sentence, and was ordered to pay a $250,000 fine. Bluestein, however, denied all knowledge of the Ponzi scheme, citing in his defense that he'd personally purchased the investments being sold by May.
Regardless, GunnAllen faced a volley of investor lawsuits after the SEC's 2009 allegations. By March 2010, FINRA found that GunnAllen no longer had sufficient net capital to trade and closed the firm, leading to the layoff of 400 employees. By November 2010, GunnAllen had been liquidated.
First-Ever Standalone SEC Privacy Fine
Although GunnAllen went bankrupt, regulators weren't done with it. The SEC in 2011 accused two former employees--president Frederick O. Kraus and national sales manager David C. Levine--of having inappropriately used GunnAllen customer data, and it fined them each $20,000. The SEC also slammed GunnAllen's former chief compliance officer, Mark A. Ellis, for having failed to put in place or enforce proper policies and procedures for protecting customer information. It fined Ellis $15,000. The agency noted that the broker-dealer's written policies were "vague" and turned out to be little more than a rewording of the actual SEC regulations.
As for the alleged security breaches related to InformationWeek by the former Revere Group employees, a 2010 SEC enforcement action against former GunnAllen executives detailed multiple security incidents, but not the full extent of the breaches alleged by the former employees, which included at least one missing laptop containing financial information. Likewise, the home router incident didn't even come to light until 2009, one year after FINRA fined GunnAllen.
New SEC Violations Emerge
In June 2011, Sago detailed the additional security violations in a six-page letter to the SEC's Miami office, which had conducted the GunnAllen investigation. The agency's associate director of enforcement in Miami, who was in charge of the investigation, didn't respond to multiple calls and emails seeking comment on Sago's allegations, whether the investigation was still open, or whether the additional revelations might lead to any new fines or sanctions against current or former employees of GunnAllen or The Revere Group. A spokeswoman for the SEC, reached by phone, declined to comment on any of those questions.

Recap | Box Score | Notes | Photo Gallery
Tennessee Head Coach Cuonzo Martin(Opening statement)
"Great game. Great crowd. I thought Kenny Hall finished the game strong. He started off a little slow, getting his legs up under him, but Kenny Hall bounced back well. Thirteen rebounds is a career high. He went and got those rebounds. Five-for-five from the free-throw line. I thought that was great. He tied his career-high with 12 points. He should have made those last free throws.
"Jordan (McRae) did a good job rebounding the basketball and also running the point as a backup. I thought we did a good job in the second half with the assists. We had nine assists in the second half, did a good job running and cutting and really finding Jarnell (Stokes) and allowing him to make plays and post up, finding him a little better, a little quicker.
"Fifteen offensive rebounds. We thought that was a key for us. They were giving up 13 a game and we thought we could take advantage in that department. I thought we did a good job late in the first half and the second half of making adjustments on offense and really sagging on the backside of Jarnell and guys making shots and making plays and utilizing their dribble to get in."
(On if the key to game was getting ball to Stokes)
"Well, the thing is, it's a two-way street. Jarnell was really posting deep and making quick moves. When you have to watch, you've got guys on the backside. We talk about the skip pass. Really from the wing as opposed to the corner the corner and just attacking. When they sag with that ball screen, you have to get to the rim and make plays."
(On leading at halftime with just three field goals)
"Were we leading at Georgetown. We might have had five field goals in that game. Sometimes it's like that. They did a good job of sagging, but I thought Kenny missed some easy ones. I thought in some cases Jarnell was drawing a lot of contact when he was going up. That's part of it. You make adjustments over the course of the game. They have a scouting report and they have a game plan. They figure the best way to beat Tennessee is try this. We didn't make some shots early, but we didn't settle for perimeter shots. We did a good job late in the first half and the second half of getting to the free throw line."
(On Josh Richardson's performance)
"I thought he was good but not at the level that we need them. I thought he was solid. He needs to do a better job defensively. His man scored 25 points. He's a good point guard, but he has to do a better job defending."
(On Richardson in the second half)
"Just get aggressive. I think the biggest key for Josh is to stay aggressive and to get in attack mode and cut, and cut hard and not settle for three-point shots. When you have a three-point shot and you have the ball and the shot clock is running down in that situation, you take it, but you don't make up your mind that you're going to shoot a 3-pointer. You have to stay aggressive and get to that lane."
(On low scoring first half and similarities to past games)
"We don't even talk about it. Those guys know. We don't talk that much about offense. You make shots. You practice hard. If they go, they go. If you spend time a lot of time and you consume yourself with it and tell your guy you've got to shoot the ball, you've got to make it, and all of a sudden, he starts second guessing. You don't spend a lot of time with it. You put yourself in position and give yourself opportunities, and if they go, they go."
(On run in the second half)
"We loosened up. We made some good shots, attacking off the dribble offensively and making plays. Jarnell was getting offensive rebounds and cutbacks. And defensively, we just got stops. We started getting those stops and cutting off passing lanes and forcing those guys to make one-on-one plays."
(On getting offense from the wings, players attacking the basket)
"I think the two things after the Georgetown and Virginia games -- I don't want to talk about those games for a long time -- but after those games, we spent a long time offensively getting our rhythm in transition, attacking the wings and scoring the ball. But also drive and penetrate and get to the lanes. That's everybody. Even Skylar McBee drove a couple of times. Getting in the lane, forcing officials to make calls. Make that defense go out and find the bodies and give it to shooters."
(On the play of Trae Golden)
"I thought he was fine. I just looked at his stats offensively, 1-for-9; I wouldn't have known that just watching the game. You've got a guy that's always a threat. They identified Trae on the floor. They knew where he was at all times. They made his shots tough and forced him to make plays. I thought he did a good job of attacking the rim. Some of them just didn't go, but I thought he was aggressive."
(On whether or not a backup point guard is a concern)
"Not at all. I think Jordan McRae can do it depending on the situation. I played on a team where we didn't have a true point, but we've got guys that are scoring points and I think that's just as vital. Remember, some people say Trae Golden is not a point guard. He can score the ball."
(On what Jordan McRae brings to the position)
"He has size and he has length. He has good vision for his size and can find guys on the ball-screens and makes good passes."
(On Jarnell Stokes establishing consistency)
"We're 10 games into it now so he might not have a choice. You have to play basketball. You have to make decisions and make plays. Since October, he hasn't practiced with Jeronne Maymon. I think he's doing a good job. I think for him it's really just making the adjustments and getting a feel for how each game is played. Most guys get double-teamed from the top, but they send the double-team on the bottom side for him sometimes. It's just different looks and is about making the adjustments. Biggest key for him is attacking quick and I thought in the second half of this game he posted deep and made quick moves."
(On where Josh Richardson needs to be)
"He has to be a defensive stopper. Right now he's a solid defender, he's not a stopper. He has to be a shut-down defender. We can count on him - for any perimeter guy - we know Josh has his job. Offensively, he has to continue to get better. Making moves off the bounce and getting to the basket more left and right. Or just pull up and make the plays."
(On resting key players)
"Five, six or seven - I think it's tough to take our stars out for that long. Like I said, we've got a core six that I think we can count on every night. Then two or three guys - depending on the flow of the game - then we make adjustments. Last year, we had a solid seven. It's part of the game. You look around the country and some of the best teams. Not many teams have a 10 or 11-man rotation. The thing for us is to be conditioned. To play these minutes you've got to do what you've got to do. There's no time to turn back."
(On if the six guys are set)
"That's solid. Those six guys are solid. With Derek Reese getting into the fold, that's a guy that's now a legitimate 4-man for us. Now you have a guy that can go in for Kenny Hall that understands that position and can give you a different dynamic. He's a big guy that can go off the bounce and make shots. He plays on the perimeter at 6-foot-8 and gives you more shooting on the wings of your offense."
(On where the team is at big picture)
"Got to get home and get a little relaxation in. We'll get back on the 26th, get to work and get ready for Xavier. They're a very talented team. We'll need a tremendous atmosphere for that one and then we'll take the next one as it comes. First and foremost, let's enjoy this holiday. Wish all the fans a Merry Christmas and we'll get back and ready to go for Xavier."
Sophomore Guard Josh Richardson(On being aggressive on offense)
"Coach actually texted me today and said I had to stay aggressive on offense and remain a threat. Earlier in the season I would have probably stopped attacking. I just told myself I would keep going to the rim in the second half and it came."
(On bringing energy during the winter break)
"I don't know how we started that bad. Next time we just have to bring our own energy. We can't start like that. Last year we lost some games like that when we didn't come out on top. We know that can happen anytime."
(On the boost of energy in the second half)
"I don't know. I am glad it happened. Once the first two buckets started coming the energy picked up a lot. We were jumping around and congratulating people on buckets, on big stops."
Senior Center Kenny Hall(On returning to play tonight)
"I felt pretty good out there. If felt good to be out there, I always hate sitting out during games. Once I got in the flow of the game things seemed pretty good."
(On the difference in the second half)
"I can't really say that anything was different. We just continued to play ball. That is what we have to do, keep going hard and being aggressive."
(On Western Carolina putting up a fight)
"That is what we expect from teams. We don't really expect teams just to lay down and bow down to us. We expect a team to put up a fight. That is what they did. They put up a good fight."
(On what was said in the locker room at half time)
"Just to continue, just stay focused on the game. With this being the last game before Christmas, I guess people weren't as focused, they may have been ready to go home. We were saying we still have a game to play, in the second half anything can happen. Just play hard."
(On the first half)
"We did do a good job of getting to the free throw line in the first half. Credit to that. We just went out there an fought."
(On being 5 for 5 at the line)
"It was just one of those games where everything was falling. We were getting plenty of reps at practice shooting free throws. Tonight we shoot a great free throw percentage."
Junior Guard Jordan McRae(On poor shooting 1st half)
"I felt like we were attacking the basket hard just like we normally do. We just weren't getting them to fall in the 1st half, but that's part of it."
(On a sign of maturity by overcoming rough 1st half)
"Oh yeah, I think it is. Last year, we probably wouldn't have gotten through that. We would've stayed on the 3-point line and kept shooting 3's. I think we did a good job of forcing the referees to make calls."
(On things to work on over the holiday)
"There is a lot of room for improvement, but I think we are on the right track especially after losing two games in a row."
(On how he feels about playing point guard)
"(with a laugh) I play a lot of spots. I think at the point I can really use my length on defense and I can relieve Trae Golden at times."
Western Carolina Head Coach Larry Hunter(Opening statement)
"Our guys didn't quit, that's the trademark of this team, they just kept hanging in there. I thought Trey Sumler was terrific. When we needed a basket, he was involved in the play, whether it was scoring himself or giving it to somebody. Our guys battled. I thought Torrion Brummitt was great off the bench and really gave us some quality minutes. Guys are getting their feet wet and getting a feel for it and they can keep their heads up, we just came up short."
(On holding Tennessee to three baskets in the first half and still trailing at halftime)
"I thought the whole ballgame we competed really well and we had a good run there offensively (in the first half), but the last 10 minutes they were scoring at the foul line and that was a big difference in the game on the stat sheet."
(On the Tennessee run in the second half that allowed the Vols to pull away)
"Their offensive rebounding in the second half came up big for them and we had some foul trouble and some young guys out there and they executed pretty well. They're really good defensively, give them a lot of credit, they make it really tough for you to score too."
(On his team not being intimidated by Tennessee's size on defense)
"I like my team. We've played some really good teams, two top-15 teams, four undefeated teams. I've got a nice team, we're going to be fine in our league. I was really proud of the way we competed."
(On guard Trey Sumler's 25-point performance)
"Trey Sumler is a player. I thought he controlled (Trae) Golden's penetration pretty well, he can play. He's one of the better players in our league."

Who Flipped It Better? Wiz Khalifa vs. Dysfunkshunal Familee
The Sample: Manchild – 'Especially For You' (1977)
Subscribe to TheBoombox on
Manchild. What a weird ass name for a soul/funk band. It doesn't have any sultry, sexy tone to it. It sounds like something a delusional battle rapper would call himself in service of (weak) punchlines about how you can't beat him. You know, because he's the Manchild. Or he'd talk about how biologically advanced he is. Ahead of his time. That sort of ball-swinging thing.
Then again, maybe it was a perfect moniker for the '70s band from Indianapolis. The biggest star to emerge from the group was Babyface, and though he was only 19 on Manchild's debut album, he would go on to join The Deele with L.A. Reid before releasing his first solo single in 1986. Manchild's claim to fame is 'Especially For You' from that first album, 'Power And Love.' The airy synth ballad is a blissful oasis amidst the often uptempo LP, cruising lazily in the same lane that classics like Faze-O's 'Riding High' and Teddy Pendergrass' 'Love T.K.O.' occupy. The guy giving life to the keys is Charles Bush, who wrote 'Especially For You' as well as the song before it, '(I Want To Feel Your) Power And Love.' 'We Need We' is another gorgeous song, but 'Especially For You' sounds custom built for a blunt in the morning, sun seeping through the blinds as the world awakens. It's been sampled by Alchemist, Domingo, The Jacka, and Lil' B, amongst others. For a band with two scrawny albums to its name and not one major hit, Manchild has stood the test of time in the manscape that is hip-hop.
Flip 1: Dysfunkshunal Familee – 'New Ruff Flava' (Prod. by Crazy DJ Bazarro) [1994]
Subscribe to TheBoombox on
Little is known about Dysfunkshunal Familee, comprised of DJ Skinny, AMAYSS, D-Rock, Brain Dead and centerpiece Crazy DJ Bazarro, the last of whom became known for a 1996 cult mixtape called 'Bushwick Day' that featured artists like Finsta Bundy, Shadez of Brooklyn, and the Arsonists. The group toyed with ideas for other names, including The Hitman Squad (which they felt too closely resembled EPMD's Hit Squad) and Civilized Savages, but ended up with Dysfunkshunal Familee after Bazarro watched an episode of Oprah that focused on what Dr. Phil talks about on every episode now – dysfunctional families. Forming in '93 (or '92, according to AMAYSS' Wikipedia profile), the Bushwick crew's first song was called 'S–t Iz On Point' and featured Bazarro and Brain Dead just… talking s–t. That led to the creation of their first official single, 'New Ruff Flava,' of which they allegedly pressed up 500 vinyl copies and gave 200 to Dan Smalls at Loud Records for radio play. "We were testing the waters with an alternative to the same old genres like gangsta rap and commercial hip hop," Bazarro told Red Bull Music Academy. "We put out records because we loved making music – that was it."
After getting written up in magazines like Gavin Report and Rap Sheet, the group began to see their buzz grow, but all that ever came out of it was a couple EPs in the mid-90s like 'Lost And Found, 'Mixed Emotions,' and 'Civilized Savages,' with the last two seeing proper releases by boom bap rehabilitation label Chopped Herring in 2009. At some point in the '90s they liberated their 'Unreleased Album' which gathered different songs from those EPs along with other rare tracks, and in 1997 the group also dropped an EP alongside Finsta Bundy as a one-off for Bazarro Records. It wasn't until 2010 that the group would drop their official debut album, 'Family Reunion,' with features from Craig G, Sadat X and Jean Grae and production contributions by Bushwick buddies Da Beatminerz.
Flip 2: Wiz Khalifa – 'Dispensary' (Feat. Chevy Woods & Berner) [2014]
Subscribe to TheBoombox on
Wiz Khalifa smokes a lot of weed. Sky is blue, water is wet, etc. He peaked with 'Kush and OJ,' the 2010 mixtape that was so heavily anticipated I risked getting arrested for the fourth time in a year to spark up to it outside my college dorm. What followed – his major label debut, 'Rolling Papers,' which was more painful than getting your eyelids ripped off – paled in comparison to what had come before. Mixtapes like 'How Fly,' 'Star Power' and 'Prince Of The City 2′ were what he built his name on, but all that went out the window when he signed with Atlantic. To his credit, though, he's managed to put out a recent single – the magnitude of which he failed to present on 'O.N.I.F.C. 2′ – in the form of 'We Dem Boyz,' a Chief Keef ripoff in nearly every sense. Why, then, he decided to put out a bloated 28-song (ahem, gram) mixtape instead of ramp up the release of his upcoming album, 'Blacc Hollywood,' remains mystifying.
Earlier in the year, Wiz released 'Dispensary' with his weed carrier Chevy Woods and an actual guy who supplies weed for the weed carriers, Berner. The beat, done by an unknown producer, rides the Manchild sample like a horse with that whining synth for a saddle. Throw some clanging drums over it and let that bassline come up for air every now and then and you've got yourself a good enough beat that harnesses the expected loop
Bazarro freaks it a little differently. He actually inverts the bass and the synth, pushing the bass to the front of the mix and relegating the distinct synth to the back. At times he even drops the synth in favor of the bass as it turns its cheeks to the sun every time it hits that higher note. The synth is also a little more piercing than the bass, so even as they volley against each other, Bazarro adjusts the levels so neither one drowns out the other . Most producers highlight the synthesizer from the beginning of 'Especially For You' and let the curling bass lay down on the low end. Bazarro flipped the expectation, if there even was one at the time – in '94, he was the first rap producer to ever touch this sample. Skull Snaps drums always help, plus there's that tricky beat switch at 2:30 when he drops in the piano sample, but it's that simple innovation – that going against the grain – that puts Dysfunkshunal Fam over Wiz Khalifa this week.

Next-Gen Volkswagen GTI to Get Performance Pack
In June of next year, the seventh-generation Volkswagen GTI will be launched on the European market, and it will arrive in the U.S. market in the first quarter of 2014. Europe will get an interesting option: For the first time, a factory performance package will be offered, but it's not yet certain if it will come to the U.S.
The new car will be lighter by nearly 200 pounds, and horsepower—at least for the European market—will increase from 210 hp to 220. In the U.S., the GTI currently produces 200 hp, and sources tell us it will receive a significant bump in output—the U.S.-market figure is not yet finalized. Like the current model, the next GTI will be fitted with an EA888 2.0-liter TSI engine.
A 10-hp bump is not all that's included in the European-market performance package, though. We're told that the package will include a limited-slip differential—the standard GTI must make do with XDS, a brake-based function of the stability-control system that mimics a mechanical limited-slip diff. Considering the next GTI is a lot lighter than the outgoing model anyway, VW isn't concerning itself with further weight savings in this performance package. But it will include a few more "goodies," we are promised.

Would not touch a V-Dub, don't get me wrong they got the styling down but not reliability. I think there's* better cars out on the lots. Just my opinion...
Didn't what's his name from the SVT program move over to VW not too long ago?
I like the predictions they gave for the next Golf-R:
300hp, AWD, 6-speed, 2-door hatch
this jsut in. next gti to be more boring.
You should hear and see more at SEMA this year.
Sieg Heil! [hihi]
Ok, I've delt with a few VW/German car enthusiasts in my time. And while there are some VW's I'd really like in my driveway, that sort of existing culture turns me away from the name. Same with Chevy and some of the meat headed zealots connected to it. Don't get me started with Harley-Davidson motorcycles....
Food for thought.... what does any car made in 1984 have anything to do with a car's expected reliability rolling out of a factory today? [scratch]
So your a Nazi now?

I know there have been a number of these review floating around so I figured why not one more. The whole review is on my blog at Hidden Defense: Theis Holsters - Another Hybrid That Works!. I do more of a comparison with Crossbreed's SuperTuck since it is so similar and many folks will dismiss it as an inferior clone. Also I took the more uncommon route of getting it with the J-clips instead of the metal or standard kydex ones.
Theis Holsters is a relatively new company started by Tommy Theis who started making his holsters a couple years ago. He started simply selling through forums and has now made a pretty good name for himself through word of mouth. He fills a niche offering a holster very similar to Crossbreed's SuperTuck at a lower price point. He even gives customers an opportunity to get them at an even lower price by offering them with slightly blemished leather. They are still 100% functional, but the leather may have a scuff here or there. I opted for a blemished one to try them out for my Glock 36 which has become my EDC (everyday carry) gun.
Now about the holster itself. The Theis holster is pretty much an exact copy of a Crossbreed SuperTuck in terms of materials & overall design, but with a couple key differences. It's still uses a large piece of leather as the backing which provides comfortable carry IWB and a piece of kydex formed specifically for your gun attached to the leather with rivets. The choice of metal or kydex clips (over the belt or J-clips) is yours and they are adjustable with removable fasteners. It can be worn IWB and visible or IWB hidden under a tucked shirt.
The differences which may seem slight are still significant when it comes to overall functionality. First the kydex completely covers the slide. This helps protect your pants from excessive muzzle rub which I outlined in my long term review of the SuperTuck. The next difference is that it comes from Tommy with the "combat" cut already done. This allows for an easier grip of the gun when drawing. The SuperTuck does not do this standard, but will do it on request for a fee. When I got my first SuperTuck I had to perform this leather surgery myself which isn't hard to do, but it's nice to see Tommy do this right off the bat for his customers. The kydex is also trimmed more to help with the draw. The kydex is also formed tighter than the SuperTuck which locks the gun in. I can put the gun in it and turn it upside down without it coming out. I never could have done that with the SuperTuck though the P239's a little heavier than my Glock 36. I hope this helps minimize the slide wear I had previously. Like I said before these differences don't seem like much, but they are an improvement to the original Crossbreed design.
In conclusion, I've very happy with this holster and think that this hybrid design is the best for everyday comfortable concealment. It is such a simple if not pretty solution that I'm not surprised that others have copied Crossbreed. I've seen Kholster's copy before and a few others on ebay so it's definitely proven to work. With a Theis Holster for about $40 you get a comfortable & concealable holster with a lifetime guarantee & a two week trial period. If you're like me and have tried many other holster designs you know that you usually only need two hours or less to determine if you'll actually use a given holster. Inside the waistband isn't for everyone, but where all other IWB designs may not work the hybrid design is one that just might do it for you. Give it a try!

1964-1970 Kennedy Half Dollars
The Kennedy Half Dollar was initially struck for circulation with silver content. The coins produced in 1964 contain 90% silver, while the issues from 1965 to 1970 contain 40% silver.
These years were struck in relatively high mintages with the exception of the 1970-D Kennedy Half Dollar, which was only included in Mint Sets. As a result, the mintage was a low 2,150,000.
Below is a selection of PCGS and NGC graded Kennedy Half Dollars available for sale from a variety of sellers.
