More and more often we see pancake or flat brushless DC motors replacing torque motors in low speed robotic joint and rotary stage applications.
Torque motors are very low profile motors that typically have a hollow bore and a very high number of magnetic poles. They are supplied in kit form as a rotor and stator that can be built directly into the application, with the advantage of reducing the overall size of the machine. However, because of the larger diameter, machining tolerances and a larger air gap (typically 0.5 to 2mm so that the end user can facilitate installation), it is also one of the major disadvantages of torque motors. Just as the resistance of an electrical circuit is given in Ohms law the magnetic flux path from the torque motor's permanent magnets incorporate this "resistive" air gap. Where Current is replaced by magnetic flux, voltage is replaced by magnetomotive force and resistance is therefore relative to permeability.

Brushless DC servomotor, gearhead and encoder combinations.
The term servomotor is often misinterpreted or misrepresented by manufacturers and design engineers alike. Servo is derived from the Latin servius (Slave) and as such a slave must have a master, otherwise it is free. In order to be an obedient slave it must be able to complete the commands and report to its master. Conversely, to be an effective master it must be able to listen to its slave in order to effectively issue new commands. This relationship forms a servomechanism.

21. | emos | ||
is used to decribe a variety of persons who, in a sense, create their own self destruction. To their own demise they try to stay away from so called "pop culture" while forming their own "uniqueness". Unfortunately they all derive upon the same style, which leads to them all looking and acting the same way. Their absolute resentment towards mainstream media and culture froces a semi-subculture in which the aforementioned transduce themselves into a contained category. Altough previous definitions covered a wide variety of definitions, the typical emo character will prove to only show his/her "emoness" when cavorting with people or persons who agree with their own tastes and sentimental passions. Also you must listen to semi- coroded late 80's early 90's punk knock off bands. "Hey that group of people look like emos because they all have a common lame taste in really shitty music that while trying to sound original and unique, end up sounding exactly the same."
1. | Emos | ||
An "Emo" really is just a confused teenager. The entire Emo subculture is rooted in music. Emo is short for "emotional" or "emotional hardcore." This type of music came about in D.C. in the 80's (before most self-proclaimed emos were even born.) The type of people who listened to this music had common tastes in fashion, and like many other fashion eras, they all began dressing the same way. Now the term Emo is associated more with behavior and style than it is with music. Simply don a pair Converse, a studded belt, head-to-toe black, and angled bangs, and voila--you're an Emo. Of course, there is the debate over real and wannabe Emos, but really they're all the same. They purposely choose to dress a certain way, act a certain way, listen to (or pretend to listen to) certain music, despite what their motives are. Whether their motives are sincere or superficial, all Emos have chosen to conform to a group of people they feel safe with. They would rather be called "weird" than be themselves and think for themselves. The ones that call themselves real Emos look and act (on the surface) like wannabe Emos. The only difference may be that they are truly admirers of the music scene, or that they truly have difficult family lives. Either way, they are all just this generation's subculture. Just like the Grunge group of the 90s or the Hippies of the 60s, the Emos have found their stereotypical shoe, their theme song, their color, and their attitude, and they will fight for it until ... more...
2. | emos | ||
attention seeking whores. Emo kid: Maybe if I dye my hair black, cut, write poetry, have sex with other emos and take a sick myspace pic of it, I will get the attention I crave.
3. | Emos | ||
There are lots of different types of emos and they dont all cut or hate everything. Emos pretty much love music. Its a big part of their lives. Not all emos cut themselves tho some do. If they do, its usually for a good reason and not just planned out for attention (unless they are wannabe emos)They have a certain style and many people hate them but I really dont understand why because they are just kids trying to find who they really are. They probably really do have hard lives. most people dont make shit up like that ok? if you have a good life i dont see why you would. Lots of them are looking for love. I know I am. So Dont judge them.

emos are not all depressed, want to kill themselfs, smoke, cut, biosexual and do drugs. Some do but not all. I personaly like the emo style because they don't dress like sluts and go around picking on people. I also like the color black witch they generaly were. they do often liston to different varieties of rock. And are passionate in their music and friends. They are often more emotional but they can't help that. Sometimes they just need a friend. Me= look at that emo kid he could use a friend.
You= he looks like a jerk just like the rest of them. Me= He is really nice once you get to know him. You just need to give emos a chance. |

It knows: Brick Break, Stone Edge, Payback, Overheat.
Primeape learnset
Also, this is a pretty common misconception that's been posted a few times...note that Defiant does not work with self inflicted stat drops, so it won't boost up his attack.
Suggested Ability: Vital Spirit Suggested item: Expert Belt/Life Orb
This is a pretty standard set. Close Combat gives him STAB, Stone edge/ice punch cover his flying weakness, Earthquake gives some type coverage, and U-Turn lets him run off from psychic types, as well as deal with all the grass types in NU.
Yes,very good.Stone Edge will make up for its weakness against flying types,and payback will make up for its weakness against psycic types.Brick break is a matching type and can break through light screen and reflect.Maybe get rid of overheat,since it decreases the special attack stat.Replace it with somthing that is a fighting type or somthing that makes up for any other weaknesses PRIMEAPE has.
Gen V
Primeape (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Vital Spirit
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
Again, standard sweeper. Life Orb boosts the power of your moves. Close Combat is STAB, all the toher moves are type coverage. Vital Spirit stops the foe from putting you to sleep. Really, not much explanation is required here.
Primeape@ Life Orb

EVs:252 Attack 252 Speed 4 HP
Primeape (M) @ Fire Gem
Role: Physical Sweeper
Trait: Defiant
EVs: 96 Sp Atk / 160 Atk / 252 Spd
Rash Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
Okay, I really like this guy.
I'm not 100% sure about defiant boosts, but I'm pretty sure he gets them, but even without them, the set is still intact.
Overheat Deals good damage with the Fire Gem, And gives Defiant boosts.
Close Combat is Hard hitting STAB and Defiant boosts.
And Acrobatics Is beastly after your Fire gem is Used.
While U-Turn is classicaly used to escape.
A good Physical Sweeper set I found:
Primeape (M) @ Expert Belt Trait: Vital Spirit EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Brick Break - U-turn - Dig - Rock Slide
Expert Belt works well with the strategy here. Evs are standard Physical Sweeper. Brick Break is STAB, and breaks screens. U-turn is coverage against Psychics, and helps you escape. Dig is just a good move, even though you have to wait two turns. However... When you use Dig, the foe switches to a Flying type to avoid damage. But with Rock Slide, you hit them super effective. Expert Belt helps here. Rock Slide also kills Bug types resisting the rest of the moveset.
Gen III
Primeape (M) @ Lum Berry
Ability: Vital Spirit
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
This Guy laughs at status with a Vital Spirit + Lum Berry Combo, he can't be put to sleep, and you have to use any other status twice for it to last. Aside from That, Cross Chop is lower accuracy than other choices, but still probably the best if you want him to actually sweep effeciently, Rock Slide is great coverage for Fighting Types, and prior to Gen IV+ it was one of the best rock choices for any pokemon needing a rock move. Body Slam gives some brute normal type damage, and can paralyze, which makes it superior to Return/Frustration to be honest. Last but not least, Earthquake gives amazing type coverage for this thing to sweep along, and it's got a reliable 100 accuracy too!
Suggested ability: vital spirit Suggested item: Life orb
This is basically an electivire set refitted for Primeape. It covers several types of pokemon and is a pretty nice way to cover pokemon.
Double/Triple battle
Primeape (M) @ Life Orb/Flying Gem Trait: Defiant EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Assurance - Earthquake - Close Combat - Acrobatics/Rock Slide/Aerial Ace
Assurance gets good coverage along with the other moves and gets more powerful when it hits a Pokemon already damaged, great for multi-battles. Earthquake hits multiple Pokemon. Close Combat is STAB. The final move is your choice. Acrobatics is the best move, as it does great damage, gives good coverage, and can hit any foe in a Triple Battle. However, to make best use of it will require a Gem (Flying is best). So you might want to not use Acrobatics in favor of a Life Orb. Rock Slide hits multiple Pokemon, but does not get as good of coverage as Flying. Aerial Ace is weaker than Rock Slide, but it gets slightly better coverage and can hit any foe in a Triple Battle. Defiant works great as Intimidate is a common ability. So you'll get +1 Attack from Intimidate.
Nature-Adamant Ability-Anger Point EV- 252 atk/ 252 speed Moves Close Combat [stab] Ice punch/thunder punch/Brick break[use it on weak Pokemon and CC on bulky ones like liketung/snorlax] /seed bomb/[coverage] Earthquake [coverage] Substitute[as it is weak] /Stone edge [coverageis you r not using puches]
Oh, the last answer is in Dec 2012, guess I can still make it. Here's my [Berserk-Ape] Primeape (M) @ Focus band Trait: Anger Point EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+ATk, -S.Atk) - Reversal - Bulk-up - Beat up (well, if you have 6 Pokemons, gonna be pretty badass) - Stone Edge
Primeape has a pretty low Hp-defense, so everybody tends to go for a 1HKO, and thats how this thing works.
Just make sure you have enough spd, Bulk-up on the very first turn, then Reversal/Stone edge your way to victory. Replace Adamant with Jolly if your Berserk-ape has trouble dealing with speedy-sweepers.

Re-organization of the Judicial System.---Debate in Continuation.
FRIDAY, February 21, 1873.[CONTINUED FROM PAGE 195, MIDDLE OF FIRST COLUMN.
Pending the roll call on the passage of the Joint Committee's bill [S. 238] for an act redistricting the State for Judicial purposes to abolish the Court of Common Pleas, etc., -
Mr. BIRD, in explanation of his vote when his name was called, said: I wish to say this: I understand that this bill proposes to abolish the Common Pleas Courts in this State. It seems to me this is rather an untimely measure, and has not been as well matured as it ought to be. I am not prepared to vote for this bill and will have to vote against it. I vote "no."
Mr. BOONE, when his name was called, in explanation of his vote said. I am not in favor of this bill at all. There are several reasons why I shall vote against it. One is that it proposes to abolish a court that has been in operation in this State for over twenty years. The satisfaction it gave depended upon the character of the judge that held the office. In the districts where they have good judges the courts are good and where the judges are poor the courts are inferior. In some circuits the circuit judges have had to be removed, but I do not know of any case in which a Common Pleas judge has been removed. Now it is argued that we will get a better class of judges for having them all circuit. That may be the opinion of gentlemen who reside where they have a good circuit and a poor common pleas judge; but it is not so plausable to a man who lives in a district where there is a fine common Pleas judge and a poor circuit judge. Another reason why I cannot vote for thia bill is that if you abolish this court I do not know what you will put in the place of it. And another objection is that it requires versatility of talent for a man to perform the duties required of him under this bill than if the business were divided. I vote "no."
Mr. COLLETT, in explanation of hia vote, when his name was called said: I vote against this bill for several reasons, we have good courts of Common Pleas and good Circuit judges in our district, and we don't care about bettering them. But I protest most earnestly against being compelled to have eight sittings of the same court in Vermillion and Parke counties as I understand the reading of the bill by the clerk. I vote "no."
Mr. DAGGY, when his name was called, in explanation of his vote, said: That a good many provisions in this bill would be good I have no doubt, but I have a suspicion that we will leave a great many matters without any jurisdiction whatever. I don't think the bill meets the purposes intended. I vote "no."
Mr. DAUGHERTY, in explanation of his vote, when his name was called said: It page: 535[View Page 535] seems to me we are proposing to make most too radical a change. I don't know of a State that does their legal business in one court. Not being satisfactorily posted I think it safest to vote against the bill. I vote "no."
Mr. GOODING, when his name was called, in explanation of his vote, said: It is universally conceded that the labors of the different judges of the State are unequally divided at the present time, and that we need a redistricting of the State for Court purposes. That is conceeded on all hands, and I think this bill meets that point. We have endeavored to get it up as equally as we know how. Unless this bill passes, I believe there will be no general redistricting of the State and I am satisfied unless there is a general redistricting there will be no raising of the salaries of the judges. Then our Common Pleas Judges will not get any more than they are receiving now, and a number of our best Circuit Judges will send in their resignations as soon as this Legislature adjourns. Many of them were only induced to take the bench with the idea of increased salaries. For one I shall vote for an increase of salaries whether this bill passes or not. One reason why I am in favor of the passage of this bill is that it divides the labor pretty nearly equal among the judges, increases their alaries and thereby retains on the bench good men. I say by the passage of this bill we will prevent the resignation of a number of the best judges on the bench. There are other reasons why I am in favor of the bill but as my time is about up, I will vote "aye."
Mr. GREGG, in explanation of his vote, when his name was called, said: Our common pleas judge is one of the finest judges in the State, and I know if the salary is not increased that he will not remain on the bench. I believe he will find his way on Circuit bench where his talents will we used for the good of the State. I think if we don't pass this bill the Legislature will adjourn without increasing the Common Pleas judges salaries, therefore I vote "aye."
Mr. HOUGH, when his name was called, in explanation of his vote, said : I doubt exceedingly the principle involved in this bill, and I have reasons why I shall vote against it aside from that. The Common Pleas Court has been in existence twenty years and until recently we have heard no. objections to it. It will be necessary if that court be abolished that something should take the place of it. In five years or probably three years, we will not be without another court with jurisdiction inferior to that of the Circuit court. Why not continue the Common Pleas, modify the jurisdiction of the Court and equalize the labors of the judges. We can do that and still call it a court of Common Pleas as well as anything else. This bill has been thrown out for our votes without giving members an opportunity to perfect it. It will reduce the time in my county from fourteen to eight weeks, and with the present amount of time we are unable to transact the business without additional special terms ; and it will be nothing but an outrage upon the people of my county if this bill passes ; and I cannot sit quietly by and see it done without rebuking it. I think the Senate ought to have too high a regard for any portion of the State, than to willfully do anything of that kind. There is another provision which ought to be added to remove a difficulty like thin: our present circuit judge was elected judge of the seventh Judicial Circuit; by this bill his district would be the eighteenth: now can he be elected judge of the seventh, perform the duties of the judge of the eighteenth without a provision in this bill making him judge of the circuit he now resides in ?
Mr. GLESSNER (interposing.) There is that sort of a provision in the bill.
Mr. HOUGH (continuing.) For the reasons I have given, I could not without insulting my constituents vote for this bill, and I think if the Senate shall pass this bill it will be inflicting an outrage upon my people. I vote "no."
Mr. HUBBARD, in explanation of his vote, when his name was called, said: I shall vote for this bill because I believe it to be a step in the right direction. Little by little the jurisdiction of the Common Pleas Court has crept up until it has become a court of almost concurrent jurisdiction with the Circuit Court; and, substantially, this bill makes the Circuit Court, what the Common Pleas Court is in this State; and requiring for a judge a person of that versability of talent necessary to try breach of promises for marriage, libel and slander suits. These are the only new matters thrown into the Circuit Court under this bill. I have been somewhat anxious about this bill, as perhaps some Senators understand. In the northern part of the State there are large circuits and smaller Common Pleas districts. In my own county with five terms of the court we are no better off than we would be with three, for the reason that one immediately follows or preceeds the other in every case, filling the dockets of one term and leaving the preceeding one comparatively empty. It rights itself in time, but results in continuance.
As far as the redistricting question is concerned, it seems to me the Senate has done as much with this bill as with any considered this session. It has lain in a painted form on the table of senators for weeks. It was sent to a committee of thirteen - one from each Congressional District - with the object page: 536[View Page 536] of reconciling differences by having on the committee one representative from each district; and if senators sit quietly in their seats I and only fine out on the third reading that It outrages their constituents, the fault is with them not with those who vote for this bill, I vote "aye."
Mr. SCOTT, when his name was called, in explanation of his vote, said: I vote "no." I listened carefully to the reading of this engrossed bill and my county is in two circuits; it is in a circuit by itself, with which I would be content. If that were all I would vote for the bill at once, but it is in a circuit also with Sullivan county. That being the case it seems to me I ought not to vote for it.
The PRESIDING OFFICER [Mr. Brown in the chair.] The bill has not been actually engrossed at all. The Senator from St. Joseph [Mr. Hubbard] moved to consider the bill as engrossed; and one clerk has been reading from one bill and another from another, and that is the cause of the trouble the clerks have had in reading; and so it is that the Senator heard what he did.
Mr. SCOTT. I have no censure for the clerks, but as I understand that Sullivan and Vigo counties are together in one district, of course I am opposed to that and I vote "no," otherwise I would vote "aye."
Mr. SLATER, in explanation of his vote, when his name was called, said: I do not think this bill will accomplish the result desired, and if left to my personal inclanation I should vote against the bill but my constituents are unanimously in favor of the bill and therefore vote "aye."
Mr. SLEETH, when his name was called, in explanation of his vote, said: I could not vote for the bill, even if I was personally disposed to do so because I am instructed by every lawyer of the county of Rush, except one, [the Lieutenant Governor,] and every member of the bar of Decatur county, to vote against the bill. One reason why I vote against the bill is this: The counties of Rush and Decatur have been together for many years - twelve or fifteen years - for judicial purposes, they have been in the same Common Pleas district, the same Senatorial district, the same Legislative district and the game Congressional district. This bill proposes to take Decatur from this district and put it with the county of Franklin, with which it has nothing in common. Franklin and Decatur have nothing whatever in common, and they never have had.
Another reason for my opposition to the bill is that it does not equalize the labor of the judges. In the district assigned to us the Judge will only be required to sit about twenty-two weeks out ot the fifty-two in the year; Now the friends of this bill say one of the most important features is to equalize the labor of the districts. That is redistricting with avengence, when a judge paid for fifty-two weeks labor is only called upon to sit twenty-two weeks. In the counties of Rush, Fayette and Union, the entire time occupied at present by the Common Pleas and district courts only amounts to twenty-two weeks, while upon the other hand by this bill Dearborn county is taken from Franklin county and Decatur is added on to Franklin county. Now the average population of a district throughout the State is nine thousand nine hundred and seventy. That is the average population for a judicial district. This district is made up for the accommodation of some one, I presume, for certainly it is not made up upon the principles of reason.
The new circuit composed of Dearborn and Ohio, has a voting population of six thousand six hundred and sixty-one, while the average circuit, as constituted by the bill, has a voting population of nine thousand nine hundred and seventy. Some districts, under this bill, run as low as five thousand in population - this bill that is to equalize the population, while others run up to fifteen thousand. Some have three times the population that others have. I submit that is not redistricting. Another reason why I am compelled to vote against this bill is it provides for thirty-eight circuit judges. It is admitted by all parties that this is a step in the right direction, and is to be follow by some other step as a substitute for the present Common Pleas courts to take the Probate business from the hands of the circuit court. If they take away a part of the labor that is now entrusted to Circuit courts then the number of the Circuit courts should be diminished. But Senators will reccollect that the Legislature has no power under the Constitution, to legislate out of office a Circuit Judge. The number that we fix to-day we have no power to legislate out of office, so that when we come to establish the other court that is proposed to be established and divide the labor between the Circuit Judges and the county Surrogates, we will be in the same condition that we are now: We shall have too many judges and we will find it will be the most expensive system we have ever had in the State. For these and other reasons I have not time to give. I vote against the bill. I vote "no."
Mr. SMITH, in explanation of his vote when his name was called said: I am ready to vote for a bill just in its provisions but I insist that a court which has stood for twenty years should not be ruthlessly thrown aside without getting a better system to take the place of it. I vote "no."
Mr. STEELE, when his name was called in explanation of his vote said: This bill would create thirty-seven circuits, and it is page: 537[View Page 537] proposed to pay the judges three thousand dollars each, which will amount to one hundred and eleven thousand dollars a year. That is one step to be taken in the way of reform. In addition to that one step the next step will be to form something like a Surrogate system, with a Surrogate for each county at about one thousand dollars a year, which will be ninety-two thousand dollars more making two hundred and three thousand dollars a year for the Judicary. The present Circuit Judges cost fifty-three thousand dollars, and Common Pleas Judges thirty-three thousand dollars or eighty-six thousand dollars in all. It is proposed now to have thirty-seven judges and give them one hundred and eleven thousand dollars a year. This is what is called reform. Take the eighty-six thousand dollars you are now paying your circuit and Common Pleas Judges and you have twenty-five thousand dollars from the one hundred and eleven thousand dollars that the circuit judges you are creating will receive. Gentlemen say they are only taking the initial step but before we take that step - before we involve ourselves with thirty-seven Judges I want to know what is back. I vote "no."
Mr. THOMPSON, when his name was tolled; in explanation of his vote, said: The old lawyers of our county generally favor this bill while the young lawyers I think a great many of them are opposed to it. I suppose I ought to bow to the judgment of old age so I shall vote for the bill "aye."
Mr. WINTERBOTHAM, when his name was called, in explanation of his vote, said : I have very little personal knowledge with regard to the merits of this bill having been fortunate enough never to have to enter a Court House in the State of Indiana. In my district I don't know of a single legal gentleman who is in favor of the passage of this bill, while on the contrary my desk is full of letters protesting against its passage. I am satisfied there is no one in my portion of the State that favors it. I know both courts in Laporte county are not able to clear their dockets and old practitioners in that county are protesting against the passage of this bill. I trust it will not become a law. Mr. President I vote "no."
When the roll call was finished.-
The PRESIDING OFFICER announced the vote as above recorded on page 195 yeas 26, nays 20.
So the bill [S. 238] for an act to redistrict the State for Judicial purposes to abolish the court of Common Pleas etc., was passed the Senate.

My Gunfight - "Thinking Outside Your Box"
Here is an interesting article by Larry Correia...well done.
My experiences as a firearms instructor have been very similar to his.
I think that this is something that we should all consider. It wa not that long ago that I also carried with an empty chamber, believing that i had plenty of time to rack the slide. I have seen, or rather had it pounded into my head, the light.
"Thinking outside your box"
"...Assumptions are awesome when they're actually right, but they sure can hurt when you're wrong......"
by Larry Correia
I've been a concealed carry instructor for five years, I hang out with a bunch of gun nuts, and I've been around self-defense buffs for most of my adult life. In that time I've seen a recurring theme, and unfortunately it can be a dangerous one. Many of us have something in common.
I call it My Gunfight. We've imagined a scene, a violent encounter, in our head. And in this scene, we take decisive action and we prevail and save the day. Many of us have a mental fabrication of what My Gunfight is going to be like.
Most people who chose to carry a gun have done this. I have myself. It isn't anything to be ashamed of. In fact, it really helps develop a proper mindset to be able to realistically assess what kind of terrible things can happen to you and start laying some groundwork about how we want to respond.
The problem comes in when we make assumptions about My Gunfight.
Assumptions are awesome when they're actually right, but they sure can hurt when you're wrong.
I have had students tell me that they never practice at anything past conversational distance, because the average gunfight takes place at only seven feet. See, in Their Gunfight, the bad guy will be conveniently placed at a distance that they can actually hit stuff.
Sadly, there's no such thing as an average gunfight. The only thing they have in common is that they all suck. If you only prepare for a gunfight inside an elevator, it will be a bummer when the crazy guy starts shooting at you across the mall. I've had students tell me that if the assailant is that far away, then they wouldn't be justified in shooting. That's also a mistake. There are hundreds of reasons why you might need to shoot somebody out past conversational distance. And if you find yourself in a situation where you need to, you dang well better have practiced.
Another assumption I get from many students is that they will have plenty of time to draw their gun and get it into action. Oftentimes these folks want to carry with an empty chamber. There is a misconception that this is somehow safer, and besides in Their Gunfight, they'll have plenty of time, and both hands available, to get their pistol into action.
In real life, the bad guys may not be as compliant as the ones in Your Gunfight. In real life, the violence may occur so quickly that you do not have time to rack the slide. Or you may have one hand occupied holding the bad guy back from stabbing you in the head with a screwdriver. The point is, you won't know until it happens. Even best case scenario you've added a significant amount of time to your draw stroke (and if you've been in a fight to the death, you know that even a second is a significant amount of time), and one more chance to fumble and screw up.
During my regular class, I integrate a role-playing session. We go through several realistic scenarios with students and actors armed with rubber weapons. All of these scenarios are based on actual cases, and like real life, most of them tend to happen quickly.
Usually after going through the role-plays, nobody is tempted to carry chamber empty anymore. A fatal assumption was pointed out in Their Gunfight, and they adjust accordingly. If you're really worried about carrying with a loaded chamber, get a good, safe holster that keeps the gun secure and protects the trigger. If you still have a mental hang up, switch to a gun that has a heavier trigger or other safety devices. Anything is faster and safer than assuming you'll be in a position to rack a slide.
These are just a few examples of assumptions caused by My Gunfight.
One of my personal favorite students of all time was hung up, not only on carrying chamber empty, but he also had a belief that he would "easily" be able to neutralize the bad guy by shooting them in the leg. No, I kid you not. He brought this up repeatedly during class, even after I pointed out that it could be just as fatal only slower, the same lethal force in the eyes of the law, and with the added benefit of not being nearly as effective at incapacitating an actual threat. What did I know? I was only the guy he was paying to teach him this stuff.
During the role-play, he was lucky enough to get a scenario that I use to demonstrate the principles of a Tueller drill. Without going into too many details, I'm playing the part of an obviously dangerous threat, interrupted in the act of committing a forcible felony on a third person, with the ability and opportunity to cause him serious bodily harm, and I just happen to start twenty-one feet away with a rubber knife.
I charged. He went for his gun. Not only did he fail to rack the slide and shoot me in the leg like he had talked about, he managed to draw the gun, fumble, and actually tossed it across the room. I stabbed him a few times, and as a happy bonus, picked his gun up before I fled the scene.
His Gunfight had not taken into account things like speed, adrenalin, or confusion. Last I checked, he was carrying a chamber loaded Glock, in a good holster, and practicing a bunch.
That was an extreme example, but I think all of us need to watch out for the decisions we make based upon our assumptions. Be smart, be realistic, and don't be afraid to keep an open mind. Just because My Gunfight makes sense to me, doesn't mean that the world cares one bit.

Larry Correia still has good things to say, in light of Newtown and proposed gun bans.
That's why I always carry with the gun already drawn and at the high ready. I get a few looks at the mall.

OSCARS: 'Lincoln' leads Oscars with 12 nominations
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — The Civil War saga "Lincoln" leads the Academy Awards with 12 nominations, including best picture, director for Steven Spielberg and acting honors for Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field and Tommy Lee Jones.
Also among the 9 nominees for best picture Thursday: the old-age love story "Amour"; the Iran hostage thriller "Argo"; the independent hit "Beasts of the Southern Wild"; the slave-revenge narrative "Django Unchained"; the musical "Les Miserables"; the shipwreck story "Life of Pi"; the lost-souls romance "Silver Linings Playbook"; and the Osama bin Laden manhunt chronicle "Zero Dark Thirty."
Chronicling Abraham Lincoln's final months as he engineers passage of the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery, "Lincoln" stars best-actor contender Day-Lewis in a monumental performance as the 16th president, supporting-actress nominee Field as the notoriously headstrong Mary Todd Lincoln and supporting-actor prospect Jones as abolitionist firebrand Thaddeus Stevens.
Joining Day-Lewis in the best-actor field are Bradley Cooper as a psychiatric patient trying to get his life back together in "Silver Linings Playbook"; Hugh Jackman as Victor Hugo's tragic hero Jean Valjean in "Les Miserables"; Joaquin Phoenix as a Navy vet who falls in with a cult in "The Master"; and Denzel Washington as a boozy airline pilot in "Flight."
Nominated for best actress are Jessica Chastain as a CIA operative hunting bin Laden in "Zero Dark Thirty"; Jennifer Lawrence as a troubled young widow struggling to heal in "Silver Linings Playbook"; Emmanuelle Riva as an ailing woman tended by her husband in "Amour"; Quvenzhane Wallis as a spirited girl on the Louisiana delta in "Beasts of the Southern Wild"; and Naomi Watts as a mother caught up in a devastating tsunami in "The Impossible."
Along with Field, supporting-actress nominees are Amy Adams as a cult leader's devoted wife in "The Master"; Anne Hathaway as an outcast mother reduced to prostitution in "Les Miserables"; Helen Hunt as a sex surrogate in "The Sessions"; and Jacki Weaver as an unstable man's doting mom in "Silver Linings Playbook."
Besides Jones, the supporting-actor contenders are Alan Arkin as a wily Hollywood producer in "Argo"; Robert De Niro as a football-obsessed patriarch in "Silver Linings Playbook"; Philip Seymour Hoffman as a dynamic cult leader in "The Master"; and Christoph Waltz as a genteel bounty hunter in "Django Unchained."
The Oscars feature a best-picture field that ranges from five to 10 films depending on a complex formula of ballots from the 5,856 voting members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Winners for the 85th Oscars will be announced Feb. 24 at a ceremony aired live on ABC from Hollywood's Dolby Theatre.
"Family Guy" creator and vocal star Seth MacFarlane — a versatile performer whose work includes directing and voicing for the title character of last summer's hit "Ted" and a Frank Sinatra-style album of standards — is the Oscar host. Continued...

About Me Casual Dresser
I was extreamly happy to finnally het this jacket. When I tried it on, it wasn't as big as I though it would be. For a 5x, I thought it would be bigger on me but I'm still happy with what I got. I just wish the zipper could come all the way down and the jacket could open all the way but still, I was not dissapointed at all.
