The key with palming/carrying is that it is really a double dribble. As Todd said, if the ball comes to rest in the dribbler's hand, you can have a carrying violation even if the dribbler's palm is pointing at the floor.

That being said, this violation is a pain in the you-know-where to call. I've pretty much given up on the stoppage of ball movement (because it's a rec league), and only call when the palm is straight up under the ball. I still get odd looks and shouts every time I call a carry!
