Entomological collections, UiB
The Entomological collections contain research material of all extant terrestrial and aquatic arthropod groups except crustaceans:Hexapoda, Myriopoda, Tardigrada, Arachnoidea and Cheliceratea.
More than 430 000 needle mounted insects have been identified with genus or species names and an additional number identified to family level. Moreover, the collection contains about 42,000 tubes with ethanol-fixed insects identified to genus or species level, and 29,000 slides (mainly aphids and chironomids).
Of other terrestrial arthropods we have more than 15,000 tubes with ethanol-fixed material of spiders determined to species or genus. In addition, we have more than 1200 dried galls and mines.
The bulk of the material is from the last 70-80 years and is available for loan to other scientific institutions for the purpose of scientific studies. Other persons must make arrangement with a local institution that may be willing to take responsibility for the loan.

Crowe, his broad Australian accent betraying his New Zealand origins, stood in for Ken Sutcliffe, who normally performs the Origin introductions for Channel Nine, but is away on Wimbledon duties.
With a voice slightly less polished than Ray Warren's, an appearance slightly more roguish than Ken Sutcliffe's and a rugby league knowledge somewhat short of Peter Sterling's, Russell Crowe turned television presenter for last night's State of Origin encounter.
"He looked pretty nervous," one cameraman said.
But according to TV pros, Crowe excelled in his role. He needed just one error-free take to complete his sole assignment of the evening - the pre-recording a 90-second intro. Sutcliffe clearly didn't leave sartorial instructions behind in Sydney before he left for his gladiatorial stand-in.
Crowe stood tie-less in the middle of Telstra Stadium throughout his rather impressive and generally fluid (and recorded) cameo, though the writer of this Russ script wouldn't have won an Oscar.
And Nine's proprietor Kerry Packer, known for his dislike of hirsute presenters, may have disapproved of the fact that there was more facial hair on Crowe's face than all of Gorden Tallis's scalp last night.
As it turned out, Gus-cam out-lasted Russ-cam. With so many Blues tries, Phil "Gus" Gould managed more on-screen time than Crowe, with Nine's cameras constantly focusing on the NSW's coach's reactions. Gus would have been pleased Russ predicted a NSW win during his intro, though. "I'm with the guys in blue," Crowe told viewers.
Crowe's appearance was ultimately a fleeting one. Eric Bana in the promos for The Hulk almost commanded as much small screen time. By the beginning of the second half there was no sign of Crowe on the Nine coverage, the network preferring to concentrate on its genuine experts. Not even a single glimpse of him in the stands from one of what appeared Nine's dozens of cameras.
Mystery surrounds just how much Crowe was paid for his appearance, or whether he did so gratis for the love of the game. Commanding between $US15 and $US25 million a movie for the Packers' sake you'd hope that Russ was on mate's rates at the Origin last night.
Upon completing his first take, Nine's outside-broadcast team had asked Crowe to run through his lines again.
He obliged. He stuttered. He settled on the original recording.
"That wasn't easy," Warren said. "He did very well."
Crowe had left his new wife, Danielle, at home, bringing his father-in-law, the former PlaySchool actor Don Spencer.

Follow Zips Baseball on Twitter (@ZipsBB) and Facebook
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – The University of Akron (6-6) baseball team capped off the three-game weekend with a 13-5 victory over UW-Milwaukee (3-6) on Sunday afternoon at Raymond C. Hand Park on the Austin Peay State University Campus. Akron set season highs with 13 runs and 18 hits.
"We played good baseball today beginning in the first inning scoring three runs and setting a good tone offensively," Head coach Rick Rembielak said. "Our hitters were aggressive and determined to bounce back from yesterday."
Sophomore JT Brubaker made his second start of the season, and turned in 4.0 innings with two runs allowed and two strikeouts. Brubaker was given a no-decision on Sunday.
"JT pitched well and gave us a good outing. He had control and consistency of his breaking ball which helps in keeping the hitters off balance," Coach Rembielak said.
Brubaker was spotted with three early runs before even stepping foot on the mound. The Zips scored three runs in the top of the first on RBI singles from redshirt senior Brady Stewart and freshman Dom Iero. Freshman Brian Lees also provided a RBI groundout in the first.
Akron added another run in the second to make it 4-0 after James Sheltrown stole home on a double steal, this third stolen base of the season. Both teams would go scoreless in the third before trading two runs apiece in the fourth inning to bring the game to 6-2. Stewart and Lees singled in runs in the fourth, giving both players two RBI on the afternoon.
The Zips offense then erupted for seven runs in the top of the fifth to take a firm lead over the Milwaukee Panthers. Sheltrown started the scoring effort with an RBI single to right, followed by a bunt single from Daulton Mosbarger to load the bases.
Havrilak ripped a single through the sight side, plating both James Meeker III and Sheltrown on the play. Redshirt junior Devan Ahart followed with a three-run home run, his second homer this weekend, to put UA up 12-2. Ahart now has two homers this season, and finished the afternoon three hits, two runs and three RBI. He is now batting .404 this season, a team-high.
Sheltrown brought in the final run of the game after drawing a bases-loaded walk. The Zips' seven runs in the fifth inning vs. UWM are the most runs scored by UA in an inning this season.
Not to be outdone by the offensive display, redshirt juniors Andrew Fanning and Matt LaRocca combined for 3.0 scoreless innings out of the bullpen following Brubaker's exit. Fanning was given the win to improve to 2-1, while LaRocca led all Akron relievers with 2.0 innings on the mound..
Overall, the Zips offense registered season-highs with 18 hits, 11 RBI, 12 walks. Ahart, Sheltrown, Simonton and Stewart tied for the team lead with three hits apiece. Havrilak, Sheltrown and Stewart had two RBI each, and five different Zips had two walks apiece.
"A good weekend for the Zips winning two of three on the road," Coach Rembielak said following the three-game weekend
Akron baseball will look ahead to the first intrastate series of the season, a three-game set at the University of Cincinnati. The first game of the series is scheduled for Friday, March 14 at 4 p.m.

David Job
Back for his 11th season in charge of the Lady Vol pole vaulters is former University of Tennessee record-holder David Job. A native of Oak Ridge, Tenn., Job previously spent 12 years coaching high school vaulters throughout the Knoxville metropolitan area before lending his expertise to the Big Orange program in 2003.
The past nine seasons have seen Job develop school-record-setting athletes as well as SEC scorers and NCAA qualifiers. His pupils hold the top five outdoor marks and the top three indoor heights in school history.
The most recent Lady Vol to join that club is Linda Hadfield, who became an impact performer as a freshman in 2011. Her career-best clearance of 13-1 3/4 at the SEC Outdoor Championships earned her a sixth-place finish and SEC All-Freshman Team status. That mark ranks her No. 4 on UT's all-time performers list outdoors.
Alicia Essex, whom Job developed into a three-time SEC scorer, is a member of that cadre. A third-place finisher at the league outdoor meet in 2009, Essex finished her career No. 2 on the UT outdoor list at 13-7 1/4 and third indoors at 13-0 3/4.
In 2004, sophomore Jessica Reust benefitted from Job's tutelage, blossoming into the school's top vaulter outdoors, winning the SEC Outdoor title and advancing to the NCAA Championship meet in June.
In only her second year at UT, Reust carded the best-ever clearance outdoors by a Tennessee woman, sailing over 13-3.50 to claim the SEC crown in May 2004 and become the third Lady Vol to win that event outdoors since 1998. She increased the standard to 13-7.75 in 2006 in a third-place effort at the SEC Outdoor Championships. Reust stands at number two on the Lady Vols' career indoor performers list, with a third-place outcome of 13-1 at the 2005 SEC Indoor Championships.
Job also developed Jessica Andrews and Kendra Rhyne into SEC-caliber competitors before they completed their collegiate careers in 2005. Rhyne scored points for her squad in eighth position indoors and sixth place outdoors at the 2004 SEC Championships and carded a tie for eighth at the 2005 conference outdoor gathering. Andrews, meanwhile, managed a tie for eighth at the 2005 SEC Indoor Championships.
During the 2003 campaign, he worked with senior vaulter Christie Elwin and helped the Australian increase her then-indoor and outdoor school records to 13-2.25 and earn her first trip to the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Elwin's top finishes included taking fourth at the SEC Indoor meet and fifth at the first-ever NCAA Mideast Regional, charting school standards on each occasion.
During his dozen years of coaching prior to UT, his prep pupils won titles or placed at the state championship meet in each of those seasons. In 2002, one of the student-athletes he directed, Andy Lane Jr., won the Young Men division at the AAU Junior Olympics. Other Job protégés have set women's records at numerous meets, including the Knoxville News Sentinel Relays and the Volunteer Track Classic.
Among his charges are three Lady Vols who hail from the Knoxville metropolitan area. He guided Rhyne to a state title and Tennessee record in 2001, Reust to a state crown in 2002 and also worked with Andrews. Additionally, he helped male vaulters Nate and Jake Parkhurst win a state championship in 2000 and finish second in 2001, respectively.
Job is in his second stint as a coach at UT, having worked with the men's program as assistant vault coach from 1970-72. He did so after a standout career at Tennessee, in which he earned three letters and claimed the school pole vault record in 1965.
Before Job's college career ended, however, he was called to serve his country in the Army during the Vietnam War from the fall of 1966 until the fall of 1969. He later returned to Big Orange Country and resumed his studies in the School of Architecture, earning his diploma in 1973.
During a military assignment in Germany, Job vaulted in Europe for the "Mannheim Turniern und Sport Gellsellshaft" Sports Club, setting that organization's record in the event. During that time, he also etched his name in the record books by achieving the best clearance for the Rhine Pfaltz District in Germany.
In his full-time occupation, Job is president of The Learning Network, Inc., an e-learning company focused on corporate training. The father of grown children Jeni and Matt, Job still resides in Oak Ridge.

Last week, we rolled out a blog contest in honor of Valentine's Day. We asked our community (you) to tell us why you love being a longshoreman/woman or why you love having one in your family. We received several great responses, but in the end there was only one winner.
We'd like to thank Arturo Martinez for sharing his words and perspective. Congratulations Art! To celebrate our winner and community even more, we have decided to publish all the responses we received. You can check out Art's comment below.
Stay tuned for our next blog post. We will publish the remaining submissions – all thanks to our great members!
Why I love being a longshoreman by Art Martinez
"Being a longshoreman, wow, I thank the Lord everyday for giving me the opportunity to work here. Besides the great pay, and benefits, I've also met some awesome people. I've been able to drastically improve my credit, and my overall lifestyle. Now I am looking to buy a home and I am only 31 years old. There are no more financial worries for my mother since my father passed in 1996. My mother has struggled to push my sister, brother and myself to be something and have a career to be proud of, and thanks to the the ILWU and PMA, I am the final one of the 3 to get to that point. And this is why I love being a longshoreman. My mother that pushed us so hard doesn't have to worry anymore about her kids, and I know that when the day comes that I have kids, I will be able to give them a better lifestyle and overall better quality of life. Thank God for this wonderful workplace."

Appendix 6. Environmental Specifications
amazonails standard floor specification is based on 200-300mm thick layer of insulation depending on floor type and site constraints. The standard roof design is based upon using 300mm sheepswool with 40mm Pavatex insulating board. The U-values calculated for amazonails standard construction were calculated considering thermal bridging in order to make the figures as realistic as possible (Atkinson, 2008).
amazonails standard can be brought in line with other zero energy specifications by installing additional roof insulation, floor insulation and triple glazed windows. These other standards are:
The Association of Environment Conscious Builders (AECB) Silver Standard specifies measures that lead to an overall 70% reduction of CO2 emissions compared to the UK average for buildings of each type. This is achieved through a variety of means including medium insulation on walls and roof, passive solar design, low-energy lighting and high-efficiency appliances.
The AECB Gold Standard aims at reducing overall CO2 emissions by 95% and is almost identical with the passive house standard which describes buildings insulated to such a level that they could be heated by the mere presence of people and have no internal source of heat. In addition, only the highest efficiency appliances and lighting can be used.
For further information please see: http://www.aecb.net/PDFs/carbonlite/AECB_VOL3_EnergyStandard_V6FINAL.pdf
Building Research Establishment (BRE) Zero Heating House Standard defines a similar goal as the AECB golden standard

The kernel is the essential center of a computer operating system, the core that provides basic services for all other parts of the operating system. A synonym is nucleus. A kernel can be contrasted with a shell, the outermost part of an operating system that interacts with user commands. Kernel and shell are terms used more frequently in Unix operating systems than in IBM mainframe or Microsoft Windows systems.

Network connection failure: a common, yet extremely damaging IT pain point. Read this expert guide for tips and tricks on how to monitor your Linux network connectivity more actively, and how to troubleshoot and get back online quickly.

Typically, a kernel (or any comparable center of an operating system) includes an interrupt handler that handles all requests or completed I/O operations that compete for the kernel's services, a scheduler that determines which programs share the kernel's processing time in what order, and a supervisor that actually gives use of the computer to each process when it is scheduled. A kernel may also include a manager of the operating system's address spaces in memory or storage, sharing these among all components and other users of the kernel's services. A kernel's services are requested by other parts of the operating system or by application programs through a specified set of program interfaces sometimes known as system calls.
Because the code that makes up the kernel is needed continuously, it is usually loaded into computer storage in an area that is protected so that it will not be overlaid with other less frequently used parts of the operating system.
The kernel is not to be confused with the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS).
Some kernels have been developed independently for use in any operating system that wants to use it. A well-known example is the Mach kernel, developed at Carnegie-Mellon University, and currently used in a version of the Linux operating system for Apple's PowerMac computers.

Forget Mick Malthouse's personal feelings if Carlton lose to his former club Collingwood on Sunday, history suggests it's the Blues' AFL finals hopes that will suffer the most.
After their narrow opening round loss to Richmond, Carlton will fall to an 0-2 record if their suddenly-depleted outfit can't upset the Magpies.
No club since North Melbourne in 2007 has recovered well enough from starting the season with consecutive losses to make that year's finals.
One of premiership fancies West Coast and Hawthorn will be facing the same scenario after they meet in Perth on Sunday.
But the Eagles or Hawks' chances of recovering seem better than the Blues, who face tough opposition Geelong, West Coast and Adelaide over the next three rounds and are still adjusting to Malthouse's game plan.
Captain Marc Murphy admitted this week Carlton were frustrated with their inability to fully implement that plan against the Tigers.
"The game plan's pretty easy to understand. Obviously we've practised that over the past four or five months during pre-season," Murphy said.
"It was obviously a little bit disappointing last week. We're working hard to rectify a few areas."
While Collingwood, who notched a gutsy season-opening win over North Melbourne, have been strengthened by the return of Heath Shaw and Paul Seedsman, the Blues' playing stocks have decreased.
Still missing key forward Jarrad Waite and reigning best and fairest Heath Scotland, they've been hit by the loss of tall forward Shaun Hampson (appendix) and last year's leading goal-kicker Eddie Betts (jaw).
They've also dropped Nick Duigan and Aaron Joseph.
Debutant Sam Rowe, inexperienced pair Marcus Davies and Tom Bell and defender Jeremy Laidler are their inclusions for the blockbuster clash.
"The 22 we pick this week, we have the utmost faith in those boys and they'll be our best side," Malthouse said.
"They all run out there with the knowledge that we've got support for them and they have a job to do.
"It's very exciting, it's terrific for the players that will play this week.
"We know there's going to be about 90,000 people, coming off the back of a loss which was disappointing.
"We've got to now start eating into the 2013 season with a victory at some stage."

Beach Safety Division911 County Highway 393 N.
Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459
CURRENT BEACH STATUS!Our current surf conditions along the
Beaches Of South Walton last changed on
6/26/2017 @ 9:15 am are posted as:
YELLOWMEDIUM HAZARD - Moderate Surf and/or Currents.
Daily SWFD Surf Advisory:***
Yellow Flags Moderate surf with potential rip currents Be careful out there! #swimsafely
South Walton Beach Conditions: Message and Data Rates May Apply. Periodic Messaging. For help, text HELP, text STOP to end. For more information, see our Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy.
Please note that the surf conditions are generally checked at 9:30 AM & 1:30 PM daily as call load permits.
What is the Beach Flag System?The beach flags provide general warnings about overall surf conditions and do not specifically advise the public of the presence of rip currents. However, increasing awareness of natural conditions which pose a significant risk at the beach, such as rip currents, is a critical element to improve public safety. Florida's beach warning flag program uses flags in four colors accompanied by interpretive signs along the beach to explain the meaning of each color.
GREEN: LOW HAZARD - Calm Condition, Exercise Caution
YELLOW: MEDIUM HAZARD - Moderate Surf and/or Moderate Currents
RED: HIGH HAZARD - High Surf and/or Strong Currents
PURPLE: Marine Pests Present
In 2005, the State of Florida adopted and enacted into law the Beach Flag Warning System. This is the flag system you see across the Beaches of South Walton.
It is extremely important to monitor the beach flag warning system. Dangerous rip currents may exist in the water, but provide no visible indication from shore; i.e. large waves. This is especially true on our 26 miles of beach.
Flag colors are determined by the most dangerous surf or rip conditions within the county's beaches and the appropriate color flag or flags are flown at each beach access. Therefore, the conditions at the beach where you are visiting may appear less dangerous than the beach flags that are flying.
The South Walton Beach Safety Division is constantly monitoring the water conditions and weather forecast to provide the most accurate and timely water and surf information possible. Please remember to use caution at all times.

Jeanne Galliano Loses Battle with Cancer
Family and friends are mourning the passing this week of Jeanne Galliano, executive assistant to the Superintendent of the Carmel School District and clerk to the Carmel Board of Education.
Galliano, 56, passed away March 4 after a valiant and courageous battle with cancer.
Former Carmel Superintendent Marilyn Terranova remembered Galliano as a "wonderful and happy woman who loved life. She was known for her big friendly smile, her infectious laugh, and her big brown eyes. Jeanne was devoted to her family, especially her children and grandchildren and loved spending time with friends."
Carmel Superintendent James Ryan recalled how Galliano had an "ability to make everyone smile. Jeanne will be remembered for her strong will, her amazing strength and bravery, her positive attitude, while never complaining as she faced her aggressive illness."
Born in Brooklyn to the late Adele and Charles Quenzer, Jeanne married the love of her life Phillip Galliano 35 years ago.
In addition to her husband, Jeanne is survived by her two daughters— Corrine Beirne and Alison Daley and their husbands Kevin Beirne and Derek Daley.
Two grandsons, Justin and Carter, and granddaughter Madeline Adele also survive as well as her brothers Charles and Neal Quenzer and her sister Marianne Hayden. Jeanne is also survived by several nieces and nephews.
A funeral mass is scheduled for Thursday at the Holy Trinity Church in Poughkeepsie at 10 am. Interment will follow at the Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery.
The family has requested in lieu of flowers contributions in Jeanne's name be made to the American Head and Neck Society at headandneckcancer.org/foundation/index.php.

• Annuals. As the weather warms up, sow seeds or plant seedlings of sun lovers such as cosmos, marigolds, nasturtiums, pelargoniums, petunias, and zinnias. In shady places, set out begonias, coleus, impatiens, and violas.
• Fuchsias. Train red-and-white 'Swingtime' fuchsia on a trellis in a large pot and display on the front porch. Grow red-and-purple 'Bright Eyes' in a hanging basket or pink 'Southgate' in a window box. For large containers on a patio, combine orange-red 'Gartenmeister Bonstedt' fuchsia with a bronze-leafed New Zealand flax. To create bushy plants, pinch fuchsias back every few weeks. Feed and water plants regularly through the summer.
• Groundcover. If you like blue star creeper (Pratia pedunculata), consider growing 'County Park', 'Dark Blue', or 'Kelsey Blue', which have brighter blue flowers than the species.
• Herbs. Now is a good time to plant annual herbs such as basil, borage, and parsley, and perennial ones like chives, mint, oregano, rosemary, and thyme.
• Spring perennials. Plant 'Color Flash' astilbe, bleeding heart, 'Origami' columbine, deer fern, and sweet woodruff in shade; and lady's-mantle, Russell hybrid lupine, and 'Fruit Punch' or 'Patty's Plum' Oriental poppies in sun.
• Trees and shrubs. Before you buy a tree or shrub for the garden, check out the grown-up version. You can view labeled mature specimens of crabapples, dogwoods, dove tree, empress tree, hawthorns, and many other plants at any arboretum.
• Vegetables. Grow beans and corn from seed, and eggplant, peppers, and tomatoes from seedlings. Start cucumbers, melons, and squash from seed ( Sunset climate zones 3a-3b, 6-7) or seedlings (zones A1-A3, 4-5).
• Control aphids. Whenever you notice aphids attacking plants, blast them off with a jet of water from the hose, and you probably won't need to use a pesticide. If water doesn't work and infestations build up to large numbers, spray with insecticidal soap.
• Deadhead wisterias. If you nip off Chinese wisteria flowers as they're fading, the plants will usually respond with a strong show of new blooms in July.
• Fertilize plants. With everything you plant this month, dig slow-release fertilizer into the backfill (excavated soil returned to the area), then water well.
• Prune. As soon as blooming is finished on azaleas, camellias, forsythias, lilacs, rhododendrons, and other spring-flowering plants, prune them for shape. If you prune later, you'll cut off next spring's buds.

Iraq toll still high a year after U.S. combat halt
By Jim Loney
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - At least 2,600 civilians, police and soldiers, along with 35 U.S. military personnel, have been killed in violence in Iraq since Washington formally ended combat operations a year ago, U.S. and Iraqi statistics show.
As U.S. troops prepare to leave Iraq by the end of the year, the figures show a Sunni insurgency and attacks by Shi'ite militias are taking a serious toll despite violence falling sharply since a peak after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.
President Barack Obama declared an end to combat in Iraq on August 31, 2010 and said "extremists will continue to set off bombs, attack Iraqi civilians and try to spark sectarian strife. But ultimately these terrorists will fail to achieve their goals."
Iraqi Health Ministry statistics indicate 1,604 civilians were killed in violence in the last year.
The toll for August reached 155. Attacks last month included an August 28 suicide bombing at an important Sunni mosque that killed 32 and a series of coordinated assaults on August 15 when at least 60 people died.
The 12-month period saw 588 Iraqi police and 418 soldiers killed, including 45 police and 39 soldiers in August alone, according to figures from the interior and defence ministries.
Pentagon statistics show 56 U.S. military deaths since the start of Operation New Dawn on September 1, 35 in hostile incidents. Since the start of the war, more than 4,400 U.S. personnel have been killed in Iraq.
There were no U.S. military casualties in August. Continued...

Andrewsleather.com He is in Fla. Check his web site. I ordered a Monarch shoulder rig from him. If you like what you see, give him a call. Stand up guy! I'm sure he could help you! I also researched shoulder rigs for several months and after talking to him the final choice was easy! Please keep us updated.
Welcome aboard darlingnikki. Hope you find what you need here at DC.com and become an active member here. This is an awesome community for those of us who carry guns for defense.

Look at Andrews Leather Catalog Custom made. Great guy, I purchased the monarch rig from him! worth the look and call if you like it to.
wow thank you so much for the info and fast response :) i will definitely add all this to my search :)) im going to look further into the crossbred minituck. looks like i have an excuse to buy another smaller gun
A good shoulder holster is very comfortable when properly adjusted. I have been using a Galco Jackass rig for about 10 years and am very happy with it. A cheap holster will generally be uncomfortable and may offer less than ideal retention.
Crossbreed Minituck and SuperTuck
Another great holster similar to the Crossbreed mini-tuck is the Minotaur MTAC holster by CompTac Holsters.
What I like about the MTAC holster is that it is a modular holster and you can buy specific Kydex bodies which will attach to the MTAC platform if you have more than one gun you like to carry. Just get a kydex body for each specific gun you have and then mount it to the common MTAC platform.

My wife, while not tall and skinny, has two Sam Andrews Monarchs, one standard and one vertical. Top notch leather from a great guy! Take the time to fit it correctly.
Welcome to DC too.

The Andrews is another Top Notch shoulder rig. And again it's (for sure) not inexpensive gun leather.
There is a lot of work (AKA Labor Hours) involved in making a really great comfortable, workable, practical leather shoulder holster.
They are pretty much a lifetime investment though and so you need to think of it in those terms.
Matt Del Fatti also makes one of the most incredible shoulder holsters. BUT, what holster does MD make that isn't phenomenal?
His work is so incredible that I think that a race of superior alien beings visited Earth and taught him leathercraft.
Jump on the waiting list if you want a Del Fatti though.
Check out Del Fatti Leather - Take a peek into his gallery. Have KleenX ready - Prepare to cry.

I like the High Noon Undertaker line of shoulder rigs.
ETA: Old School in post 16 has also posted the High Noon Underarmor holster. That one is a stocking item, so it can be had pretty quickly and for about half the cost of the Undertaker.

I have a shoulder holster for my G19 from Ritchie leather that works pretty well for me, I like that it has a pull-through one-way snap instead of a regular thumb-break. I have also heard great things about the Monarch from Andrews leather, as several others have mentioned.
First, congratulations and welcome to the DC community. We are a supporting and tight knit group.
There are already several excellent shoulder holster makers recommended. Shoulder holsters conceal well, but, the weight on a slim person's shoulder can quickly become tiring for some. I would suggest wearing you current shoulder holster for several hours several times to see if weight is a problem for you or not before investing a lot of money in a premium quality holster.
An alternate suggestion some others in your shoes settled on, is a vertical cross draw worn at 9:00. My petite wife's is a custom vertical draw Ken Null Gibralter http://www.klholsters.com. Cross draw forward tilt holsters let the gun butt protrude on a slim person.
Another excellent holster maker is FIST FIST, Inc.. They have a wide selection of styles and options.
There is a mindboggling plethora of equipment choices facing a new CC'er. Avoid the exotic. Individual differences do matter; to the extent possible, try before you buy.
Best wishes in your quest.

Area ag experts and businesses provide guidance and financial support to help the agriculture students at Iowa Lakes Community College plan, plant and harvest crops at the Farm Lab near Emmetsburg.
"This started as a pilot project in 2010, resulting from an industry round table discussion," said Jolene Rogers, Executive Director of Institutional Advancement at Iowa Lakes. "This partnership of businesses working with Agriculture students helps strengthen the connection between business and education."
This growing season Ag Partners LLC, chaired the project. Other key donors include: Chad Anderson Pioneer Seed, Tom Eishen Seed & Sales, local Asgrow & DeKalb dealers, MaxYield Cooperative, PRO Cooperative, Spencer Agronomy Services and StateLine Cooperative.
Discussions typically revolve around what types of crops to plant as well as what steps (herbicides/fertilizers/fungicides etc.) might be the most beneficial for producing a top crop.
Each year's class decides what the trials will be for the next planting season.
"Through this partnership, these companies are providing nearly $50,000 of products for the college farm lab for this growing season," Rogers said. "Many thanks to our corporate sponsors."
During the July Iowa Lakes Board of Trustees meeting, Iowa Lakes approved the 9600 series FAST sprayer, donated by FAST Manufacturing of Mountain Lake, Minn. The students practice with water and focus on safety as they master utilizing this technology as part of the education experience. The technology is compatible with Green Star® auto steer. This model has a three ball-valve system and is capable of doing the variable rate application.
As in the past, the college continues to provide space for the Palo Alto Corn and Soybean Growers' Association for their test plots. Their test plots are unveiled on the same day as the college holds its Farm Expo.
Any agriculture businesses which would like to be involved in the future with the Iowa Lakes Farm Lab Project are encouraged to reach Jo Rogers at 712-362-0491 or email@example.com.

ARMAGH -- While most students will be enjoying their time off this coming summer by swimming or sleeping in, United High School senior Isaac Grove and junior Calvin White will be traveling across America on pedal bikes to raise money for the American Heart Association.
[Read the full roundup of area high school news from the Gazette's network of student news reporters every Friday in the Student News section on The Indiana Gazette Online.]
Grove and White will be biking across 10 states, from Oregon to Virginia, in a matter of about nine weeks. White, whose uncle undertook something similar in the '80s, decided to take part in this event back in the spring. At the beginning of this school year, White presented the idea to Grove.
Grove decided that with his busy future ahead, this was his golden opportunity to participate in such an event before being tied down to college in a few months. Grove's parents didn't take him seriously initially, but after noticing his persistent interest and dedication, they realized otherwise.
So far, these two students are biking alone, although they would be happy to include others who are dedicated to completing the event. They plan to leave Pennsylvania around the second week in June. They will be flying to Florence, Ore., with their bikes and the rest of their supplies. There they will bike a mile or so to the coast to begin their journey.
The pair wants to travel lightly, so they are only taking three sets of clothes, a few miscellaneous tools and bike parts, and a tent. They will be staying in either the tent or cheap motels, whichever is more convenient.
Grove and White will rack up some 4,242 miles during the nine weeks that they bike. Following the TransAmerica Bicycle Trail, they will venture through Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky and Virginia, where they will finish in Yorktown.
The duo plans to bike every single day regardless of weather, and they hope to complete 70-80 miles per day. They must keep at this pace in order to get back in time for next school year as Grove will be attending the University of Pittsburgh for nursing next August. White will be starting his senior year at United and plans to use this event to complete his senior project.
Staying focused during the upcoming months is the pair's biggest challenge. Both Grove and White are lifting weights and following general fitness routines for the winter months in order to prepare for this trip. When the weather breaks after winter, the duo will start to train outside on their bikes both with and without loads.
Grove and White have already begun selling "Biking across America" T-shirts and bracelets in order to raise money for the American Heart Association. They estimate that they have already raised about $500 for this cause. The pair will continue to sell T-shirts and bracelets, and they hope to gain some support from some local businesses in the future.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus
Lincoln Center in New York City was lit up with plenty of glitz and glamour as the TIME 100 Gala got underway last night (April 26).
Celebrating the 'most influential people in the world,' folks like Karlie Kloss, Caitlyn Jenner, Nicki Minaj, Aziz Ansari, Gina Rodriguez and Trevor Noah showed up in their red carpet finery.
Every year, TIME magazine puts out a list of the 100 most influential people in the world, and this time around there are plenty of familiar faces.
For 2016, Leonardo DiCaprio, Nicki Minaj, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Priyanka Chopra and Mark Zuckerberg all got their own cover, and the issue will hit newsstands this month.
Gearing up for another hilarious round of political humor, HBO just dropped the preview trailer for Season 5 of "Veep," ahead of the April 24th premiere.
The Emmy-nominated series stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Tony Hale, Anna Chlumsky, Matt Walsh, Gary Cole, Sam Richardson and Hugh Laurie.
It's amazing what we can do with computers these days, and Topher Grace spent some time in the editing suite compiling a pile of clips to create a reunion for the "Seinfeld" cast.
Apparently the "That 70s Show" stud snagged footage from Larry David's (Seinfeld's co-creator) HBO show "Curb Your Enthusiasm" to make the project come to life.
Adding some serious girl power to the February 2016 issue, ELLE magazine recruited five fine females for the Women in TV front page.
"Empire" babe Taraji P. Henson discusses her role as "Cookie"- "It was very important to me that she not be sassy and neck-rollin' and eye-bulgin' and attitude all the time. Everything she does is coming from a place of fighting for her family. That's why she's not a caricature."
It's always a treat when our favorite stars read the nasty messages fans write about them online, and last night (December 16) "Jimmy Kimmel Live" served up another round of "Celebrity Mean Tweets."
Probably the most brash moment came when Sarah Paulson recited, "Sarah Paulson is annoying when she yells… or cries… or talks… or exists," and replied with, "Bite me, motherf**ker. That's how I feel about that. You can bite me in the f**king a**hole."
The Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles was replete with celebrities as the 2015 Emmy Awards got underway on Sunday night (September 20).
Hosted by Andy Samberg, this year's shindig featured a host of hot shows and hotter stars, including Jon Hamm, Tracy Morgan, Viola Davis, Lady Gaga, Mindy Kaling, January Jones and Sofia Vergara.
They were unstoppable as costars on "Seinfeld" back in the 1990s, and it's clear that the chemistry between Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jerry Seinfeld is still very much alive.
During Wednesday's (June 3) episode of "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee," the dynamic duo went for a ride in a snazzy sportster and ran into fellow celebrity Hilary Swank.
She's been on television since the early 1980s and Julia Louis-Dreyfus is still on top of her game at 54 years of age.
The "Veep" star is featured on the front of the Spring/Summer 2015 issue of New Beauty magazine, explaining, "You've seen me age! I've been in showbiz for so long. From the first time people saw me on Saturday Night Live until now…it's no secret that I've gotten older. I've gotten older in front of you and that is odd – it is still so strange to me that everyone has seen me age on a public stage. It's totally changing and difficult."
It's one of the hottest shows on cable, and HBO just dropped the new promotional clip for "Veep," much to the delight of fans.
Season Four of the hit series is slated to kick off on April 12th at 10:30pm and stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Tony Hale, Anna Chlumsky, Matt Walsh and Reid Scott.

Risk Professionals' Window Of Opportunity
Posted by Chris McClean on June 22, 2010
In my ongoing work with risk management professionals, I've been encouraged to see how quickly the role is growing in influence and responsibility in today's business environment (even though the drivers for that elevation are often disastrous). Along those lines, I read a great article this morning in StrategicRISK, discussing the window of opportunity for risk experts, aptly entitled Keep Your Eyes on the Prize.
The article quotes the Institute of Risk Management's deputy chairman, Alex Hindson, who says that top executives and boards of directors are looking for risk management guidance, and if risk experts in their organizations can't step up to fill that role in their "window of opportunity," it will be filled instead by auditors, finance professionals, or external consultants.
In my recent engagements with Forrester's clients in risk management, I've certainly seen a lot of interest and participation from other functions in the business - most notably audit and IT. And just last week, my colleague Craig Symons published a report explaining key issues in risk management for the CIO.
I've written here several times in the past discussing the changing role and the increasing value of risk management professionals, and I don't see any reason that this trend won't continue for the next year or two. In fact, current events suggest even larger increases.
So what now? Study up on your frameworks and methodologies, and take a look at some of the available certifications and training courses related to risk management. Find or establish internal committees where you can offer your risk management expertise and exert more influence among compliance, legal, finance, lines of business, or other stakeholders. Changing the risk management culture of any organization will be tough... do what you can to lead some of these important changes.
Hi Chris, We're seeing that
Comment from John Kelly on Wed, 06/30/2010 - 10:34
Hi Chris,
We're seeing that the CFO in some cases is taking on the role of risk expert as you describe here, yet in banks we are seeing a clear and encouraging trend that the CRO is being given top rank as risk expert.

Serves 3 to 4 as a side dish
by Kate Heyhoe
Here's my basic method: Poke some holes in a foil pan, chop up a bunch of vegetables, toss them with olive oil and seasonings, dump them in the pan, and grill the whole thing over direct heat. You can cook all sorts of vegetables this way, just make sure to combine ones that will cook in the same amount of time, like the ones in this recipe. You can also cook a single vegetable separately, in its own pan, so it cooks in its own sweet time. Season with salt and pepper, or sprinkle on your favorite rub or spice mix.
Tip: Season these vegetables (or any food) with Stubb's Spice Rub instead of salt and pepper. Pick from Herbal-Mustard, Chile-Lime; Rosemary-Ginger, or traditional Bar-B-Q rub.
1. Pierce 2 large aluminum pie pans with about a dozen holes each (or use 1 big pan). Preheat the grill.
2. Dice the vegetables into large but bite-size pieces, about 3/4-inch cubes. In a large mixing bowl, toss the vegetables with olive oil, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper. (You can prepare the mixture a couple hours in advance, but if so, don't add the spice rub until just before cooking, as the salt draws out too much moisture.)
3. Pour the vegetables into the pans (it'll look like a mountain of food but will shrink down during cooking). Set the pan on a hot grill, over direct heat. When the vegetables start to brown on the bottom, add the spice rub and stir them up. Keep doing this, letting the bottom caramelize before stirring, until the vegetables are tender, with sweet brown edges (about 30 minutes total cooking time). Serve hot or at room temperature, as a side dish, or mixed into a salad.
Suggestion: Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, toss with fresh basil, and serve in a salad or as a pizza topping.
