I've been mulling this over for a while and would like to hear your thoughts.
A few years back I determined appendix to be my preferred method of carry because it allows me to comfortably conceal a G19 with just an ordinary t-shirt.
I use a High Noon "Mr. Softy" which is considered to be a "low profile" appendix holster. Honestly, the reason I chose the Mr. Softy is because it was cheaper ($25) than comparable models.
I love this holster. It's super comfy, clips securely, and has held up well.
My only concern is that the butt of my Glock rests just at my pant line and could be difficult to grip from certain positions. So, I'm considering "upgrading" to something like the High Noon "Public Secret" or possibly a nice kydex AIWB holster. Something that offers more of a traditional "combat grip" and rides higher above the pant line.
I wonder how much comfort I will be sacrificing while sitting and bending by having the gun sit higher above the pant line. Anyone carry in a similar rig? Any issues sitting or bending in these "higher riding" models?

You may want to check out Dale Fricke holsters. I have three of his Archangel holsters for aiwb carry. They are made of thin kydex with two straps that attach to the belt. I like them because they protect my pistol sights and allow for a full grip of the handgun. I carry a Sig P220 Carry and a Colt Commander aiwb and the bottom of the holster does not cause a problem with sitting.......very comfortable. They aren't cheap.....around $100, but they are very durable and easy to clean. I prefer kydex over leather since I live in Dallas and the summers get quite warm here. If the holster gets sweaty.....you just wipe it off at the end of the day. Dale Fricke Holsters
I have an archangel for my glock 19 (holds my glock 17 as well, although the 17 protrudes slightly out the end. Like MLittle says, it allows a good firing grip on the gun. It appears that the public secret would as well. I'm not as thin through the mid-section yet as I need to be, but even with what is left of my gut the archangel conceals reasonably well. I don't get anymore printing out of either glock in this location than I do out of the same guns in the 4 o'clock position in a galco king tuk. At first glance it seemed like the archangel printed a little bit more, just looking down at the rig from above. However, when using the mirror to check things out, printing was possibly even a bit less than the king tuk rig at 4 o'clock. The only difference is that from my perspective, the printing from the archangel is easier to notice (until I went to the mirror).
That said, printing is minimal, and if I didn't have the gut left that I currently do have, I don't think there'd be a printing issue at all despite the moderately high ride height the holster gives. So, I think you'd be fine going to something that rides similarly. It definitely makes getting the gun into action quicker and more consistent because of the improved grip.
+1 on Dale Fricke products.
I carry an RDS-sighted G26 or 19 AIWB in an Archangel daily.
It's very comfortable and concealable IMO. Generally have it on for more than 10 hours at a time and that includes driving 2+ hours.
I prefer AIWB holsters with a ride height that does not interfere with the initial grip when drawing at speed. I don't want to have to pry it out a little before getting a good grip. Some think you have to have a low riding AIWB holster to make it conceal the best. That may have been true several years ago, when the number of manufacturers making Appendix holsters was small..............but not now.
I like the Dale Fricke Archangel, and have had several for different guns. Ride height is good for a clean grasp of the grip, but he is lacking a grip tucking feature on his holster that some are now making. I can wear the Archangel without much printing, but prefer other models that have a grip tucking feature built into the holster. It does make a subtle difference in concealability for me. This is especially true when wearing a duty size weapon like a G17, and a compact G19.
I currently wear a JM Custom Kydex AIWB holster with my G17 or G19, because of this grip tucking feature. The CCC Shaggy has this same feature, but it is really hard to order because of limited production. The Keeper has this feature, as well as a foam wedge Velcroed to the bottom of the holster to push the slide into the stomach more. Dark Star Gear has this tucking feature too. There are others, but these are the ones I am familiar with.
Examples of the grip tucking feature:
Archangel made for a G17, but carrying a G19 in the picture.
CCC Shaggy carrying a G19.
Like I said, it is a subtle difference but it makes a big difference for me in concealing the gun.
ETA: I highly recommend reading these post for someone who is interested in a very professional discussion on Appendix Carry and the Gear to use.
Thanks for the links TMoore. I'm on Pistol Forum as well, but hadn't crossed the pictorial guide. Heaps of good info there!
The metal clip on the Mr. Softy is actually very secure, but does cause a fair amount of wear on leather belts. Are the snapping belt loops pretty secure? The fixed "slot style" loop on the newer Shaggy's seem nice too.
I despise metal clips on holsters. The loops work very well but still have some play. Some like that. I did for years. I now like the Kydex loops because the holster and grip are always in the same place. But some like to be able to adjust the holster a little especially when sitting down.
My deep conceal carry is an MK9 in a Mr. Softy at 1:30ish. Have been carrying it in an XD9 Mr. Softy. The next size up lets it ride lower and I can tuck grip in waistline behind belt if need be...obviously not combat grip but undeniably well concealed.
The higher riding holsters feel like the gun will flip out with shorter barrels to me.
honestly guys, i am of the school of thought that if you are appendix carrying, you should be using a mic/zack/vanguard type holster. the trigger is covered until the gun is no longer pointed at your junk and your arteries.
just my $.02.
and my gun rides lower profile. i stick my thumb in first when i draw and it tips out a bit, enough for me to wrap my other fingers around it. this all happens in under a second. practice practice.
Good comments and info. I have been using an Alessi belt clip IWB and it is acceptable for the Kimber CDP Compact but it needs to be replaced with a more specifically made IWB more suited for appendix carry
Depends on your body shape, whether you're long- or short-waisted, etc. So far as I've been able to tell in ~25yrs of dealing with the holster "dance," it's a try-it-and-see thing.
In the past, I've had a few mid- to high-ride holsters at ~2-4 o'clock position, and in only one case IIRC was it digging into my ribs. Mostly, they've been fine, particularly with the "right" degree of cant. For me, ~3-4 o'clock with ~20º forward cant has served well, and even those same holsters at ~2 o'clock have worked without too much trouble. Not exactly appendix carry, normally, but it's worked. But then, on me I have plenty of room from the belt line to where the gun's butt would begin to dig, from most any position/angle I need to grab the gun. I'm comfortable with a somewhat higher ride. But that's just me.
You'll need to test out how much reach you're required to do given your body's characteristics and the height/position of the gun. About the most I could suggest would be to play around with positioning of the gun at the highest/best spot where you'd prefer it to be carried (the highest spot it could begin to dig in), then hunt for a holster/maker that can create a holster that just avoids crossing over that point.

Perfume Genius at Glasslands was going to be one of those tender moment shows, one where people vertically spoon their significant others and loners stand to the side, quietly flicking tears from the corners of their eyes. The heart-melting music was there, as were the couples and the single soldiers. "Hood" supporter Michael Stipe was even in the room, his mere presence upping the sensitive, brooding nature of the night tenfold. But the bands playing next door at 285 Kent took a chisel-tipped black Sharpie to this peaceful picture by rattling the walls of Glasslands with drum-heavy freakout sounds and chirpy electronic squiggles that could only have come from one villain: Dan Deacon.
Deacon was playing next door with his Pardalince Bird project, along with Dan Friel, Doomsday Student, Ramble Tamble and Ed Schrader's Music Beat. I probably would've liked that show under normal circumstances (normal = being in the same room with him, with me as an audience member), but it was pretty damn annoying to have the unwelcome sounds seeping into the Perfume Genius set. "It doesn't bother me if it doesn't bother y'all," said Mike Hadreas at the helm of his red Nord keyboard.
"It bothers me!" shouted a guy in the back.
"Yeah, it bothers me too," Hadreas admitted, following later with a gently voiced threat to Deacon: "I'm gonna have to have a talk with his goofy ass."
Hadreas, supported by two others on synthesizers, drums and guitar, sat at the piano for most of the night, singing songs from 2010's Learning and this year's Put Your Back N 2 It. He was like a pretty, nervous bird, wide eyes darting from keys to audience to band members while his voice came out in soft, feathery tufts. I could see from my balcony spot that a lot of his songs favored the black keys, and he played them with his fingers flat and high up on the piano, close to the control panel. His piano parts were uncomplicated—his version of showboating was playing arpeggios—making room for his vulnerable, damaged-man lyrics: "Take me home/Tend to me/Baby, lay me down easy/For I have grown weary on my own."
Hadreas's songs are dominated by a simultaneous longing for and unworthiness of companionship, and it's this back-and-forth confusion that makes his music so poignant. He creates such heavy sentiments with light, simple sounds, and the guy must have extreme willpower not to crowd those open spaces with another synth line or a bigger drum fill. His frequent exercises in restraint make his few climaxes feel so gratifying, and he gave us all at least one with "Hood."
The rumblings of 285 Kent had stopped by the time he got to "Hood," which was funny because this is one of Hadreas's few loud-ish tracks and maybe the only one that could have sort of competed with exterior noise. "Hood" was the closest Hadreas got to joy, at least instrumentally, with an upward-swinging, four-note piano line leading to the night's most solid drum sounds and driven piano chords. The moment, both live and on the album, is a brief one, but it's enough to show that beneath Hadreas's quiet, somber…OK, yes, sad bastard performer exterior resides a little bit of lightness, maybe even hope. But a minute later, he started on the opening notes of "Sister Song," and its sad prairie-tune melody plunged us all back into the dark.

Women's Skirts
From kicky and casual to sleek and sophisticated, a few good skirts are wardrobe must-haves. But how do you decide which looks to stock up on? Pay attention to cut, length, fabric, and color or pattern. Skirts made of cotton and denim are durable and easy to clean for frequent wear. Those made from more delicate materials, such as silk or linen, might require dry cleaning, making them more suited for work than play or every day. If your body is somewhat rectangular in shape, look for flared skirts that add a bit of volume and create curves. Pear-shape women with fuller lower halves will likely find A-line skirts most flattering. Women with hourglass figures -- hips and shoulders about the same width with a well-defined waist -- can wear nearly any skirt cut.

James McCune Smith
James McCune Smith (1813–1865) was an African American abolitionist, physician, and writer. Born in New York City, Smith was the first African American to earn a medical degree; after being denied admission to schools in New York, he enrolled at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, completing his education in 1837. Upon returning to the New York to practice medicine, Smith became active in the abolitionist movement. He lectured for the American Anti-Slavery Society (though he later broke from Garrison) and wrote anti-slavery pamphlets as well as pieces for abolitionist publications including the Emancipator, the Liberator, and Frederick Douglass' Paper. In the 1840s, he was involved in the anti-slavery Liberty Party and, later, the Radical Abolition Party.

Local $1.6 Trillion Debt Pile Impedes Rate Freedom: China Credit
Justina LeeChinese local governments' $1.6 trillion in bank borrowings are a major obstacle to the freeing up of interest rates in the world's second-largest economy, according to BNP Paribas SA and Capital Economics Ltd.
The financing arms of municipal authorities owed lenders
9.7 trillion yuan ($1.6 trillion), or 14 percent of all loans, in mid-2013, according to China Banking Regulatory Commission figures. Most have weak credit profiles, Moody's Investors Service said in a Nov. 5 report, noting that only 53 percent of 388 such companies it surveyed in June had enough cash to cover estimated debt payments and interest this year without refinancing.
If rates are liberalized and advance quickly, "it will make it very difficult for the government to roll over debt as the cost of doing that will be rising fast," said Chi Lo, Hong Kong-based senior strategist at BNP Paribas Investment Partners, which oversaw 478 billion euros ($642 billion) globally as of September. That's partly why "I won't bet on deposit rates being fully liberalized within the next year or two."
China is seeking to give markets a greater say in setting borrowing costs without triggering a surge in interest rates that would boost loan defaults. Years of state-directed lending and interest-rate controls led to a banking crisis in the late 1990s and the government spent more than $650 billion over a decade on bailouts. Bad loans at the nation's four biggest banks rose in the third quarter by the most since at least 2010.
Surging Yields
Government bond yields surged this week to the highest levels in at least five years as the Communist Party leadership met to outline the country's economic and social policies for the coming years. A communique released after the four-day session ended Nov. 12 said market forces would be given a "decisive" role in allocating resources, though it didn't provide further details.
"Investors are expecting interest-rate liberalization to accelerate and funding costs to increase quickly, so it's very hard for bond yields to come down," said Min Shuai, a Shanghai-based fixed-income analyst at Guotai Junan Securities Co., the nation's third-biggest brokerage.
The yield on 10-year government bonds rose 47 basis points this quarter to 4.47 percent yesterday, the highest level since 2008, according to Interbank Funding Center data. One-year sovereign debt yielded a record 4.16 percent on Nov. 11, after a 61 basis point advance this quarter. The rate was at 4.12 percent yesterday. The yuan, which has gained 2.3 percent this year, advanced 0.02 percent to 6.0916 per dollar as of 2:24 p.m. in Shanghai today.
Truncated Auction
China Development Bank, the nation's biggest lender, cut an auction of bonds this week to 10 billion yuan from 24 billion yuan. The average yield on its 10-year debt soared to a record
5.56 percent on Nov. 11. That exceeds the 2.66 percent on financial notes globally, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch indexes.
The premium over top-rated notes for five-year AA debt, a common rating for the financiers of roads, sewage plants and subways known as local government financing vehicles, widened 12 basis points in the second half of this year to 98 basis points yesterday. The comparable gap in India is 43.5.
Deposit Rates
The People's Bank of China in July removed a floor on borrowing costs set at 30 percent below the benchmark. It may allow onshore trading of negotiable certificates of deposit by the end of this year and establish a deposit insurance program in 2014 before scrapping the limit on savings rates by 2015, Deutsche Bank AG forecast in a note in September.
This will subject the nation's 3,800 banks to greater competition, forcing them to pay savers more to retain their share of the country's 101 trillion yuan of deposits. The PBOC has described the policy shift as the "most critical and risky" step in its banking overhaul.
The nation has this year intensified efforts to control the raising of debt by LGFVs, which allow authorities to circumvent a ban on direct borrowing. A nationwide audit of local authorities ordered by the State Council in July will show their overall debt may have surged to more than 20 trillion yuan, Liu Yuhui, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said on Sept. 16.
Lack of Details
The communique from the third plenum stopped short of offering any details on interest-rate reforms or local government finances. A lack of consensus over changes to the financial sector may be the reason, Zhang Ming, an economist at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing, said in a Bloomberg Brief today. Reforms will progress at a slower pace than anticipated and deposit rates will remain capped in the short term, he said.
The lack of details could also be related to large local government debt found in the audit report, according to Alicia Garcia-Herrero, chief economist for emerging markets at Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA in Hong Kong.
"Under liberalized interest rates, banks will have no choice but to increase the lending rate," said Garcia-Herrero. "If they do that, LGFVs may have to say, 'Sorry, I can't pay, there's too much on our plate.' "
China expanded a program to allow local authorities to sell notes directly in July, 20 months after the trial started, to let borrowing costs better reflect debt quality and provide transparency.
Rollover Costs
While local authorities will try to roll over debt for as long as possible, costs have already started to climb, said Bin Gao, head of Asia-Pacific rates strategy at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. "The difficulty China Development Bank faced in issuing notes recently suggests that even if municipal bonds take off, they might not be able to roll all the debt," Hong Kong-based Gao said.
The bank wrote yesterday that while reform details from the plenum will come out later, "leaders still seem to emphasize stability over decisive actions" and that will make it harder to implement difficult policy changes. It said budget and land issues would be among the toughest to tackle.
China's local governments are responsible for 80 percent of spending while getting about 40 percent of tax revenue, the legacy of a 1994 tax-sharing system, according to the World Bank. The local share of spending has surged in recent years, causing regional authorities to rely more on land sales and borrowing via investment vehicles, Credit Suisse says.
Bad Debt
Bad debts at Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Ltd., China Construction Bank Corp., Agricultural Bank of China Ltd. and Bank of China Ltd. rose 3.5 percent in the third quarter to
329.4 billion yuan, data compiled from earnings reports show. Their average bad-loan ratio widened to 1.02 percent.
Municipal debt "makes it much more difficult to reform banks and liberalize the financial system," said Mark Williams, London-based chief Asia economist at Capital Economics Ltd. "If China is to liberalize interest rates and the financial sector before dealing with the implicit guarantee on state-owned companies and LGFVs, it would increase risk in the system."

The Sanskrit word pranayama means to release life energy from its bounds. When practiced correctly, this powerful form of yogic breathwork has the ability to reveal the intricate web of your thoughts, physiology, and energetic patterns, to quiet your mind and heighten receptivity, and to open you to the intrinsic radiance of Being.
On Yoga Breathing, Richard Freeman, director of the Yoga Workshop in Boulder, Colorado, invites you to learn the essential principles and techniques of pranayama, including:
- How to identify and observe your internal breath
- Ujjayi breathing to free prana (your life energy)
- The tree of breath practice
- Specific guidance for lying and seated pranayama, and much more
Every breath you take, teaches Freeman, can serve as a guiding thread into the depths of yoga, a place of freedom and immediacy of awareness that begins on the practice mat and gradually extends into each moment of your life. Yoga Breathing distills the secrets of this essential inner work into two complete home practice sessions designed to guide you, breath by breath, to greater vitality and health.

- Review for Yoga Breathing Review by Bharathy C.k.
Rating Very clear way of leading to breath of freedom. Demo with video would have been ideal- thank you

- Review for Yoga Breathing Review by Paul Kaye
Rating This exceeded my expectations. Richard Freeman speaks with such clarity. I am not a yoga practitioner so I needed something simple but also wanted something profound that would give me a practice. The CD set definitely delivered what I wanted, and more.

- Review for Yoga Breathing Review by Karen Kruska
Rating The information foumd on this CD is helpful and valuable. Howver, the way it is organized on the CD is confusing. The booklet is not really a help and perhaps if there were more information in it, it would help....like where a practice begins, what are the benefits. I find the information is much better presented in Nubia Texieras Pranayama. Do not get me wrong, Mr. Freemans teaching style is relaxed and inspiring, but it would be nice to have an outline before you begin.

- Review for Yoga Breathing Review by Satia
Rating For anyone who is interested in exploring pranayama and is unsure where and how to begin, this introduction is perfect. Freeman's gentle and welcoming approach to pranayama, the exercises are very basic but also fundamental. A more advanced and challenging pranayama practice begins here, with these explorations of breathing. A wonderful addition to my collection and a permanent one as well.

William Livingston, 1723–90, b. Albany, N.Y., was the youngest of the three sons of Robert R. Livingston's (1654–1728) son Philip. He fought actively in the American Revolution. He was admitted (1748) to the bar and became one of the leading lawyers of New York City. Together with the historian William Smith he prepared a digest of the laws (1691–1756) of provincial New York. He moved (1772) to New Jersey and was sent to the First and Second Continental Congresses, resigning in 1776 to command briefly the New Jersey militia. In the same year he was elected New Jersey's first governor, and he remained in this office for the rest of his life. His influence played a large part in the prompt ratification of the U.S. Constitution in New Jersey. His daughter married John Jay.

In response to information gathered from Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan, Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said he wants the Homeland Security Department to extend its No Fly List to apply to Amtrak passengers, according to Security Magazine.
Through its Secure Flight program, DHS maintains a list of suspected terrorists who cannot board airplanes that arrive or depart in the United States, according to the Transportation Security Administration. Schumer said he would push to provide funding that would allow DHS to better secure the U.S. rail system, according to Security Magazine. That effort could include a no-ride list for suspected terrorists.

Seasoned government managers are hopeful about an innovation effort backed by the president, but they see pitfalls and the possibility of duplication.
Early self-reporting suggests that 81 percent of agencies are on track to electronically manage email records.
The head of the Defense Innovation Unit Experimental says his goal is to drive culture change in the DOD's acquisition and innovation processes rather than make DIUx the acquisition arm of the DOD.
A plan to reorganize DHS' cybersecurity directorate that stalled in Congress last year is still on the agency's agenda.
Without confirmed subcabinet officials, President Donald Trump's executive order calling for a federal government reorganization will be managed by agency chiefs and career executives.
As promised, a budget blueprint from the Trump administration prioritizes military and homeland security spending, and pays for increases with dramatic cuts to civilian agencies.
Even with Osama dead, he still pulls Schumer's marionette strings... pathetic. Terrorists win when we act out of fear, and Schumer has always been about fear.
Just look at all the graffiti on the trains and you can tell how secure the train system is. Unfortunately, the system is not designed for security but cheapness and will be impossible to lock down over a country the size of the US. And with the funky laws that give more rights to wrong-doers than to law-abiding citizens who accidently break a law, it will be interesting to see the enforcement of the amount of security to prevent a train related incident.And when you add in the overall picture of passengers and freight and trucked trailers, canisters, and other types of stuff, you would need to make TSA double the number of current government employees. The no-ride list mentioned is just a fraction of the problem, and the least of it. For people movement, what about busses, cars, taxis, rentals, etc.? Arabs paying to ride on a train to cause an incident is possible, but not as likely as aircraft to cause the same level of issue. It is easier to catch the train at a slow point and swing on board and then cause trouble. But then, our top elected officials have to do things like this idiot to look like they are doing something to get re-elected, no matter how impossible it is or how small a fraction of the problem it is.I would not take the train as a passenger to cause a problem, there are a LOT more ways to cause hate and discontent on the train system without having to become a paid passenger or even getting on a train and risking your tender hide. Ask anyone who has had even a touch of Special Forces style training in the military.
Schumer's insane. Has he ever been to Union Station at rush hour? TSA adds 2 hours to flights that hold a couple of hundred passengers. What do you think will happen in a commuter rail station like Union or Penn Station when trains with 500-2000 passengers try to board every 15 minutes for a period of 2.5 hours? It's crazy enough when Joe Biden decides to ride his beloved Amtrack back to Delaware and they practically close the station so his motorcade can drop him off. Before Schumer runs his mouth he ought to take a few field trips on the rails and speak to passengers and station security about the logistics involved with his cockamamie ideas. By the way, the threat was to the rail itself. how does screening passengers keep a terroist from attacking the rails and bridges? Dumb, just plain dumb.
This sounds like a good idea to me. More people are taking the train now that gas prices and other issues have risen.

On The Examination Table About Doctor Who, GE, and Doctor Who: Podshock
The following is a reposted entry from my blog on the Art Trap Productions website.
A couple months ago, the Examiner posted a video interview of Doctor Who: Podshock consisting of Ken Deep, James Naughton, and myself conducted by Chris McKeon. This time, I am on the examination table so to speak in this latest interview with examiner.com once again by Chris McKeon. In it, I speak about Doctor Who, Doctor Who: Podshock, the Gallifreyan Embassy, and some of our other shows. This interview was conducted about two weeks prior (mid-March) of the BBC premiering the first Matt Smith as The Doctor story of new series of Doctor Who, The Eleventh Hour.

The Character Options 11th Doctor Sonic Screwdriver Review
The postman delivered my 11th Doctor This morning so here's my review after a little play with it.
Adverts in The Closing Moments of Doctor Who
In the closing moments of Saturday's Doctor Who episode "The TIme of Angels" as the Doctor was giving his, "The one thing you never put in a trap" speech. An advert for the next programme, featuring a cartoon of Graham Norton apeared distracting many from the action on screen, and anoying them enough to complain. The BBC promptly apolgised after in thier own words said "thousands of complaints" had been recieved.
This though was not the first time adverts for following shows had blended in at the closing moments of Doctor Who. In 2005 it was Graham Norton who also came up. This is not a new problem as the screen grab from the closing moments of episode 1 of Daleks back in 1963 shows the BBC have been often guilty of this, blending in of adverts for the next programme.
The Second Doctor Dominates
I am a happy very man,
The BBFC
have cleared extras for the DVD release of the Second Doctor story The
This 1968 five-part story has been expected ever
since an official promo for the story was leaked to YouTube at the end
of last year. The story stars Patrick Troughton as the Doctor
along with Frazer Hines as Jamie and Wendy Padbury as Zoe.
Extras Cleared:
A Time of Angelic Viewing Figures
The Overnight Viewing figures are out for the Time of Angels. 6.8 Million watched and that's a combined BBC 1 and BBC HD number as the episode was simulcast. it also managed to grab 36% of the viewing Audience. As it looks there seems to be a steady number of viewers now, and the full figures will be known in 10n days.

My first IS lens was the Canon 75X300, my next will be the 100X400 soon.
Please comment briefly on experiences you might have had with image stabilization systems, good or bad.
I have found that on longer lenses, like my 70-200 f/2.8 VR, the vibration reduction gives me that added comfort zone to work with more confidence and without a tripod. While shooting weddings, you need to get as much light as possible sometimes and can't always use your flash. This is another area where the VR really pays off. VR is expensive, like fast lenses, and only worth the cost if you are using your gear to make money.
Yes, It's important to me, but not a driving factor in lens selection. With Canon, I prefer it, but will take the "L" glass if I can afford it instead. My EF 28-135mm is a great lens and has never disappointed me. I shoot digital only and like the assistance of the IS in low light situations.
I own an Olympus C2100UZ and a Panasonic FZ1. They both have image stabilization. They both do a grand job of it (1/2 sec). I was able to take good images (4x6, not 16x20) handheld in the illuminated documents section of the J. Paul Getty museum with the Olympus because it has focus assist. There is very little light in that room. The FZ1 does equally well but needs more light.
I take allot of photos in an concert like environment dark with lots of subject lighting and I wish I had an IS lens the would give my 20d a greater opportunity to take even better shots. I find that my subjects are not still and this movement caused by me or my subject is even more noticeable. Suspect IS or anti shake would help here.
I have a Konica Minola A-2 digital camera with the anti shake feature I think it is the best thing since sliced bread as I don't always carry a tripod with me. It allowed me to take a sharp photo of the riseing moon hand held. great picture.
Image Stablization has allowed me to shoot at incredibly slow shutter speeds using both the Canon 100-400 IS and the Sigma 80-400 OS. At an effective 640 mm on the Sigma I can shoot handheld braced against a solid object like a tree at 1/15th of a second with moderately good results even at 8 by 10 size. Handheld at 1/125th no shake is visible even in extreme crops printed as 4 by 6's on standard kodak royal paper with color chemistry. Shooting with a set of legs mirror slap is reduced to a minor issue.
When I needed an medium level telephoto, I chose the more expensive Nikon 70-200VR over the less expensive 80-200mm in order to get the VR benefit. I have never regretted this decision. This is one of my most used lenses, and the results I get with it are fabulous!
I work with an 80-400 VR lens. I love it. But even with VR it doesn't mean you can just wave the camera around. You still have to plan your shots. My only complaint, I wish it had a faster lens. But my shot of a sprig of Goldenrod in an Alabama cotton field is enough to blow you away.
Low light photography is an option for me now with image stablization. It was difficult before because I needed a tripod. Now I can do indoor and outdoor low light work. I have a digital camers so I also have the ability to use white balance and high ISO settings to obtain better low light pictures.

1. Re: TB Script Error, Permissions
ablichter Oct 25, 2011 6:00 AM (in response to Landailyn)You (or the group you are in) need to have write permissions for "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Panels" respectively "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\Panels" because in there the before/after PNGs are temporarily stored.
It seems that local users of the computer per default only have read access to the panel folders. Since I am in the local admin group which has r/w access, I hadn'nt any probs with that.
2. Re: TB Script Error, Permissions
Landailyn Oct 25, 2011 6:08 AM (in response to ablichter)That did it. Even though I'd changed all the permissions to the admin group, this apparently needs to user/write permission specifically. Thank you!
3. Re: TB Script Error, Permissions
ablichter Oct 25, 2011 11:32 AM (in response to Landailyn)this apparently needs to user/write permission specifically. Thank you!
You'r welcome.
As I wrote in another thread, the panel folders are obviously the wrong place to store temp-files
4. Re: TB Script Error, Permissions
wil_li Oct 25, 2011 5:18 PM (in response to Landailyn)Hi folks.
You will (hopefully!) be happy to hear that we're about to release an update to Tutorial Builder that seems to fix the issues which the temp files. As has been suggested on this forum, we're now storing files in a more appropriate temp location that no longer requires Windows users to "Run as adminstrator" when opening Photoshop. Also, we're releasing a Tutorial Player AIR application that supports the interactive capabilities of the Tutorial Builder HTML tutorials and lets the user drive Photoshop by clicking on the "Show me in Photoshop" links.
If all goes well, the update should be live in the next couple of days, so stay tuned!
5. Re: TB Script Error, Permissions
ericb007man Nov 22, 2011 8:53 AM (in response to wil_li)I have this same problem, but on a Mac. I'd really like to use this on a non-Admin account. I use Mac OSX 10.6.8 with Photoshop CS5 12.0.4 x32
6. Re: TB Script Error, Permissions
Mira D Nov 23, 2011 8:25 AM (in response to ericb007man)Hi Eric,
This problem should be resolved in the latest version of Tutorial Builder. Are you using the most recent version?
7. Re: TB Script Error, Permissions
ericb007man Nov 23, 2011 8:52 AM (in response to Mira D)Oh yes, I downloaded it from Adobe Labs yesterday.
8. Re: TB Script Error, Permissions
john beardsworth Nov 28, 2011 9:40 PM (in response to Mira D)Downloaded latest version and am getting this problem too.
I wonder if the download file tutorialbuilder_p2_102711.zxp contains the old extension. When installed via the Adobe Extension Manager, the version number 1.0.0 is shown .

Teen Patti Movie Review
Star Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Ben Kingsley, R. Madhavan; Director: Leena Yadav; Rating: 3 out of 5.
Post the stupendous success of 'Paa', it seems Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan is in an experimental mode. The vintage actor is just like an old wine that gets better with age! Amitabh Bachchan once again surprises us with his latest avatar – Professor Venkat Subramaniam, a mathematical wizard who is sick and tired of being constantly underrated by his community.
Frustrated the way he is undermined, the genius, one fine day decides to practically validate his experiments in the world of gambling and uses a group of students to try their hands at the game of card sharpening. A Leena Yadav film, 'Teen Patti' is taut, racy and a sleek thriller that comes with the right attitude and oodles of style. Also starring Ben Kingsley as well as R Madhavan and Shradha Kapoor, 'Teen Patti' pulsates with life-like characters that truly portray the nervous energies of the today's youth.
With the portrayal of Einstein-like Venkat, Amitabh simply amazes us with his sheer virtuosity when it comes to character acting. In 'Teen Patti', Leena Yadav takes us on a thrilling journey to a dark gambling den where Big B applies the mathematical principals of probability in the game of cards. Card playing has its own hitch for when a game becomes an addiction, it can lead to fatal circumstances as with money comes avarice, and avarice leads to deceit.
With most part of the movie unfolding on the gambling table, the taut thriller ensures that it does not digress and end up being a predictable affair. 'Teen Patti' is an absolute treat for Amitabh fans. R Madhavan and Shradha Kapoor are interesting to watch and so is the case with Ben Kingsley. Salim-Suleman's music suits the script and so does the sizzling item number 'Neeyat Kharab Hai.' In all, 'Teen Patti' is a great watch this weekend.

Kingdom | Phylum | Class | Order | Family |
Animalia | Chordata | Mammalia | Cetartiodactyla | Phocoenidae |
Scientific Name: | Phocoena dioptrica | |||||||||
Species Authority: | (Lahille, 1912) | |||||||||
Common Name(s):
Synonym(s): |
Australophocaena dioptrica (Lahille, 1912)
Australophocaena dioptrica Lahille, 1912.
Taxonomic Notes: | This species was briefly considered to be in its own genus, Australophocaena, and was listed in the 1996-2002 Red Lists as Australophocaena dioptrica. However, due to findings of recent genetic and morphometric studies, it is now again placed in the genus Phocoena (Rosel et al. 1995, Perrin et al. 2000). |
Red List Category & Criteria: | Data Deficient ver 3.1 |
Year Published: | 2008 |
Date Assessed: | 2008-06-30 |
Assessor(s): | Hammond, P.S., Bearzi, G., Bjørge, A., Forney, K., Karczmarski, L., Kasuya, T., Perrin, W.F., Scott, M.D., Wang, J.Y., Wells, R.S. & Wilson, B. |
Reviewer(s): | Rojas-Bracho, L. & Smith, B.D. (Cetacean Red List Authority) |
Justification: This is a very poorly known species, and there is a lack of information to make an assessment of its extinction risk. |
Previously published Red List assessments: |
Range Description: | Previously known primarily from the southern coast of eastern South America, from Uruguay and southern Brazil to Tierra del Fuego, this species is now known from offshore in the southern Hemisphere (Brownell and Clapham 1999). There are records from the Falkland Islands, South Georgia, Kerguelen Islands, Heard Island, Macquarie Island, and the Auckland Islands. Although rarely seen at sea (there are only a few dozen live sightings), this information suggests that the spectacled porpoise's range may be circumpolar in the sub-Antarctic zone (with water temperatures of at least 1-10°C) (Goodall 2002). The southernmost sighting is from 64°34'S. |
Countries occurrence: | Native: Argentina; Australia (Macquarie Is., Tasmania); Brazil; Chile; Falkland Islands (Malvinas); French Southern Territories (Kerguelen); Heard Island and McDonald Islands; New Zealand (Antipodean Is.); South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands; Uruguay |
FAO Marine Fishing Areas: | Native: Atlantic – southwest; Atlantic – Antarctic; Indian Ocean – Antarctic; Indian Ocean – eastern; Pacific – southeast; Pacific – southwest |

Range Map: | Click here to open the map viewer and explore range. |
Population: | There are no estimates of abundance. | ||
Current Population Trend: | Unknown | ||
Additional data: |
Habitat and Ecology: | Spectacled porpoises seem to occur only in cold temperate waters. Although they have been observed or incidentally caught in coastal waters and reported from rivers and channels, their habitat is thought to be primarily oceanic. Where recorded, water temperatures associated with sightings ranged from 5.5°C to 9.5°C (Brownell and Clapham, 1999). Only four stomachs have been examined; the contents included anchovies and stomatopods (mantis shrimp). |
Systems: | Marine |
Use and Trade: | It may be harvested as crab bait in Chile. |
Major Threat(s): |
Spectacled porpoises may be taken deliberately for crab bait off southern Chile. The effects of these catches on spectacled porpoise subpopulations are not known (Jefferson et al.1993). Like all phocoenoids, spectacled porpoises are caught in gillnets. At least 34 animals were killed incidentally between 1975 and 1990 in coastal gill nets set in Tierra del Fuego, and there was a co-occurrence of strandings and fishing activity in southeastern Chile, suggesting additional undocumented mortality from this source. Some mortality of spectacled porpoises was also reported from bottom and mid-water trawls off the coast of Chubut, Argentina (Brownell and Clapham, 1999). |
Conservation Actions: |
The species is listed in Appendix II of CITES. Estimates of abundance are needed as well as information on direct and incidental takes. |

Attack Goggles The Attack goggles feature green polarized lenses making them perfect in bright or sunny conditions but also suitable for pool training. They also have an anti fog coating for longer fog-free swimming and offer 100% UVA/UVB protection. It's taken two years of testing to find the perfect Swim Goggles to compliment the Zone3 range. The key was to find the softest silicone fabric possible so they sit snugly on the face, with a comfortable fit around the eyes and nose to minimise any injury if they get accidentally knocked during a swim, whilst allowing a full range of clear underwater vision. Hand Paddles They are perfect for building upper body swimming strength and are very useful to combine with the buoyancy shorts. After testing many different types of swimming paddles Zone3 have chosen this set as they are not too big or too small. The contoured shape maximizes the effect on the freestyle water catch positions and minimizes any disruption to the stroke technique, therefore reducing risk of injury. There is the option of the single finger strap for more advanced swimmers or full hand straps for extra support. You can quickly and easily pop them on your hands and youre ready to go. Venture Wetsuit This is the perfect suit for anybody just starting out in open water swimming or triathlon or as a training suit if you want to save your best suit for racing. The suit has been designed with all of Zone3s key features built-in to help ensure that you can have a fast, comfortable and enjoyable swim.

Great rant Max.
Interesting question by the lady who mentioned what Jim Willie said – about Gold going down to 1000 /silver to 16 because of the Asian market. I get the point and it does make some sense to me, but you didn't answer it other than by saying that pm's will go up and down.
Sure, but the point that Jim Willie made you really didn't address. I'd be interested to hear your take on it.
Get Max in a bright pink suit for the next rage. I mean, it's pretty obvious you chose that blue one for him, eh?
Looks very good, not criticising. Just saying … there's some mileage to be had here eh?
muhahahahahaaaaa 😉
Next time you're on this end of the country, feel free to drop by Real Estate Ground Zero in Las Vegas.
Nice rant Max. I was expecting a few more rowdy anarchist types but most of these people seem rather 'ordinary' for radical thinkers. But then again, maybe most anarchists are just 'normal' people. Who really believes all the BS the anointed leaders spew?
Has JPMorgan Already Unwound Its Losing Trade?
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/has-jpmorgan-already-unwound-its-losing-tradeI think the woman had an interesting question/comment about metals dropping significantly before they rise. Regardless, there doesn't seem to be any reason to expect the price to stay down.
As for the RT question – it's to be expected that you don't insult your host (or bite the hand that feeds you). There is a distinction between propaganda and truth. Propaganda is misleading by nature. However, there is also the guilt of omission or half truths. All one can do about that is use multiple references that have not been 'harmonized' by the globalist interests and take responsibility for one accepts as reasonable – then act accordingly.
I was there and the crowd to some respect seemed familiar.
I stood there and tried to ask a question and max looked me in the eyes a couple of times and did not call me.
A couple of people that did ask questions were ones that we all already knew max's patented answer, so why ask?
I stood there for at least a hour with my hand raised an nothing, so I am a little frustrated.So anyway, I will just go about my research and get over it.
@ Stacey, max looks way too thin, make him eat more, or is this the way he is.
I guess what they say is true, that the camera does put 10 lbs on you, lol.ps chinatown it is not anymore, its more like freedom town, its sad when even the Wu shu has to move out, for a gallery.
love and gratitude
Thank you Stacy for clarifying. Unrehearsed rants are pretty difficult to do. Max and you are terrific, and provide great coverage and analysis. All your hard work is appreciated.
My question was about statements,
as gold has been considered money for 5000 years, and as it has been said that there are more than 120k tonnes above ground.In recent years news stories about smuggled Federal Reserve Notes being confiscated with values of Trillions of dollars that were issued in the 1930 in exchange for gold bullion from Asia.
That there is evidence that there is actually more than 2 million tonnes of gold held off market *black market) that is controlled by the BIS.
There is no market for this gold, as this is held within a system — and underpins the currencies of the world through the use of SDR's.
So the world is still on a gold standard.1. What would that do to the price of GOLD?
Lord David James of Blackheath recently made statements about global frauds to the house of lords about the global settlements.
White Hats Report #41
h t t p:/ /tdarkcabal . blogspot . com /The law suit:
an attempt to recover the gold that was stolen and which these fake bonds were issued against a fraction of that gold, but is identified for the record.2. The Bis is the true enemy, so what do you say max and stacy is this the real story or just disinformation.
love and gratitude

How To Use Probiotics For Colic Treatment
Witnessing your child writhe and cry in pain due to colic can be extremely tormenting, especially when you can do nothing to improve the situation. Not anymore! There is an all natural, safe cure available… Probiotics For Colic Treatment. Colic is a fairly common digestive problem among infants, which is usually resolved by the time child turns 4 to 6 months. Infants Let us find out more about the causes of colic and how peobiotics can prove to be therapeutic aid.
How Probiotics Help Treat Colic
Colic is characterized by intense and high pitched crying followed by bowel movement or passing of gas near the end of the episode. The potential cause of colic is insufficient gut micro flora especially a lack of Lactobacillus acidophilus. The problem originates the baby's digestive system, causing gastrointestinal discomfort due to gas build up. Probiotics help in improving intestinal microflora thereby improving the child's immune system. Concomitantly it also helps in prevention of diarrhea, lactose intolerance, allergies and eczema. Probiotics when consumed also improve gut motility and pain perception.
Infants supplemented with lactobacillus improved overall health and significantly reduced crying among infants. Probiotic fed infats also showed improvement in conditions associated with colic like lactose intolerance, necrotizing enterocolitis and gastric inflammation.
How To Use Probiotics To Treat Colic
Special care must be taken while giving probiotics / probiotic supplements to infants. This section will give you information on how to incorporate them into diet.
- Breast milk is the best way to introduce beneficial microflora into the infants system. Thus supplementation of probiotic foods in the lactating mother's diet too improves infants gut microflora.
- If probiotics or supplements are used then specially concocted probiotics that are age specific must be give as microflora requirements of infants are different then that of adults.
- Probiotic supplements work only if they contain active culture of microbes.
- Introduce age appropriate probiotic foods into children's diet also considering their food allergies and intolerances. Some naturally available probiotic foods are acidophilus milk, kefir, cultured milk, cultured buttermilk, yogurt, coconut milk with live microbes, probiotic juices, etc.
- Food Labels of probiotics should be read carefully to assess microbial strain and expiration date of commercially available products.
- Probiotics are also available as a wide variety of dietary supplements in capsule, tablets or liquid forms for easy use.
- Prebiotics when consumed along with probiotics boost their efficacy.
Best Probiotics for Colic
The best probiotics for infants are Bifidobacterium especially B. infantis, B. bifidum, B. breves, along with Lactobacillus strains like L. rhamnous GG, L. acidophilus, L. bulgaricus, L. casei, and L. reuteri. Some of the commercially available probiotic products for children are BioGaia, Nutramigen with Enflora LGG, Walreens, Baby's only essentials probiotics, Udo's choice Infants probiotic 2.64, Biospec probiotic – 5, Culterelle Probiotics for kids dairy free formula, Natren Life start, Florgen for kids, Cloustrum 4 kids with probiotics, Childlife essentials + Probiotics, Life start dairy, etc.
Things to Remember while Using Probiotic Therapy
- Infants should never be given probiotics without consulting you health care professional
- Infants need multiple strains of microbes to maintain good health, and their quantum is age defined, thus probiotic supplements should be chosen with utmost care and given only under medical supervision.
- Probiotics preferably should be given in the unsweetened form.
- Introduction of supplements may produce flatulence, gas or bloating these symptoms will subside on continuous use of the products.

On December 3, 2014 the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral argument in a case that will hopefully settle uncertainty about whether employers must provide the same (or even more favorable) benefits to pregnant employees as they do for non-pregnant employees who have similar work limitations related to non-line-of-duty injuries or illnesses. While there have been multiple cases of fire departments facing repercussions for failing to treat pregnancy the same as non-line-of-duty injuries, there has been some disagreement among the lower courts about what the law actually requires.

it will pay about $7.8 billion to resolve private party claims, but the proposed settlement doesn have a cap.The agreement announced March 2 doesn resolve separate claims brought by the federal government and Gulf states against BP and its contractors on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig over environmental damage from the nation worst offshore oil spill.BP set up a $20 billion compensation fund after the April 20, 2010, blowout of its Macondo well. The Gulf Coast Claims Facility paid out more than $6 billion from the fund before a court supervised administrator took over the claims process on March 8.The agreement calls for BP to pay $2.3 billion for seafood related claims by commercial fishing vessel owners, captains and deckhands.BP and the plaintiffs attorneys also have said their agreement calls for paying eligible claims by cleanup workers and others who say they suffered illnesses from exposure to the oil. Many people have filed claims asserting spill related illnesses, but none were paid by the GCCF.The Plaintiffs Steering Committee, which negotiated the proposed settlement, filed a class action complaint Monday against BP on behalf of cleanup workers and coastal residents who claim they were harmed by exposure to oil or chemicals that were used to disperse the oil. The committee members also filed a separate class action complaint against BP over the economic loss and property damages claims. The new complaints are believed to be procedural moves that pave the way for both sets of claims to be settled.Best Actor in a Comedy, Matt LeBlanc, "Episodes" (2011)Let's start with the rather inconsequential television awards which don't even try to predict what will happen at the Emmys, but instead go their own wild way. LeBlanc is a talented guy, but the actor's win for a little watched Showtime comedy was very strange especially because in so doing he beat out a field including two other stars of cable shows that were never awards magnets (David Duchovny for "Californication" and Thomas Jane for "Hung"). The Golden Globes tend to reward stars they recognize, though even if those stars are working in projects that just about no one pays attention to.Best Actor in a TV Drama, Kelsey Grammer, "Boss" (2011)The same year a "Friends" star won for a dark reinvention on cable, Frasier Crane himself did the same. Unlike LeBlanc, though, Grammer, playing a Chicago mayor, wasn't up against fellow small scale cable stars his competition included Damian Lewis for "Homeland," Bryan Cranston for "Breaking Bad" and Steve Buscemi for "Boardwalk Empire." All great actors in prestige y shows but despite how schlockily Grand Guignol "Boss" was, Grammer was the most famous.Best Actress in a TV Drama, Jennifer Garner, "Alias" (2001)This isn't weird in retrospect Garner went on to become a major TV star for a time, and remains quite famous. (And "Alias" still holds up!) But at the time, the young star of a months old spy action thriller beating stars including Edie Falco and Lorraine Bracco of "The

I strongly agree with the terminater. I've seen(and smelled) the same thing before. Anytime some one painted, varnished, or oiled there floor it burned off a strange odor like you were explaining. This smell lasts for a long time. |

I have reserved myslef to finally believe what you all have been saying all along. I guess its the Murphy's Oil Soap even though we've used that stuff many, many times before and stored the mops the same way every time and NEVER had this problem. |

I also have a Whirlpool dryer that just today started to smell like kerosene or burnt something. I may have to agree with the Murphys Oil Soap therory because after i've taken apart my dryer and cleaned it all out the smell is still there and the only thing that has changed is that we are getting French Doors put in and they've been painting today with OIL BASED PAINT. Today was the first day for that. I may wait until they're done and the smell disappates and see if it goes back to normal. I've read that painting inside the house can affect the dryers smell. We'll see. By the way, hilarious posts. |

I've also experienced the "kerosene" smell from my dryer. After several loads of laundry I went online and did a google search on the problem, which brought me to this form. And also, I just finished painting my basement floor.... with an oil based paint! I guess that's the problem! My dryer is not a "Whirlpool" but an "Inglis model IJ80001" Sorry for bumping an older post, but this is really an unusual experience. Hey, great forums... I hope to visit regularly.

Thanks folks for your entertaining and detailed accounts. I kept saying that it's only just started happening since we had our floors done (with oil based poly), although everytime I use the gas stove I smell kerosine... I had been told that the kerosine smell was due to a gas leak ... Thanks for the confirmation of the connection! |

Just a note on this subject...the kerosene odor (or similar to charcoal lighter fluid) can be produced by a variety of sources. Paint(Kilz is the worst I have seen), varnish, stains, wood polish, adhesives, bug spray treatment used by exterminators, some carpet cleaners...the list goes on. Even when the chemical can no longer be noticed it still may create this odor when the fumes are drawn into any burner. The smell also will be present at gas stoves/ovnes when in use which is a good confirmation that it is not the dryer. If the odor is only present when a burner is on (dryer, stove, waterheater, etc) then some chemical/fume is present and being drawn into the combustion process. Best solution is ventilation. Turn on bathroom exhaust fans, crack open the windows. The dryer on air setting with no clothes in it makes a great exhaust. ____________________ Tip Jar |
