Our training baseball bats and softball bats are for the players, parents, and coaches who take America's Pastime seriously and want to improve day after day. These softball and baseball training tools consist of the following: fungo bats, one-hand trainer bats, weighted bats, and swing tracking systems. Take your game to the next level by taking your practice to the next level.
Fungo bats are perfect for both parents and coaches. They are used for hitting ground balls and pop flys during practice with relative ease so that your arms don't get tired. With a length that is above average and a swing weight that is below average, you'll be able to hit balls in practice all day long.
One-hand trainer bats will vary in length from 18 - 22 inches so they are much shorter in comparison to your typical baseball bats. These short training bats are ideal for improving hand-eye coordination and help build muscle memory and strength in your hands.
Weighted Bats are just that, weighted. These are a great warm up tool and will help drastically increase one's swing speed through the hitting zone. The weights on these bats tend to vary but are typically right around 50 ounces.
Swing Tracking Systems. With the emergence of technology and sabermetrics, baseball training is at an all-time high. Swing tracking systems allow players to evaluate, compare, and analyze their swings to help improve performance at the plate.

"Long live Germany. Long live Argentina. Long live Austria. These are the three countries with which I have been most connected and which I will not forget. I greet my wife, my family, and my friends. I am ready. We'll meet again soon, as is the fate of all men. I die believing in God." (Adolf Eichmann's last words)
"He would leap laughing into the grave because the feeling that he had five million people on his conscience would be for him a source of extraordinary satisfaction." A subordinate on trial at Nuremberg paraphrased a boast of SS-Obersturmbannfuhrer Otto Adolf Eichmann with these words, summarizing the mood and character of Adolf Hitler's most notorious lieutenant for all posterity. A serial killer in earth-gray uniform and polished jackboots, Eichmann found an unprecedented opportunity for unleashing his homicidal impulses during the Final Solution from 1942-1945, at the height of the Nazi Third Reich's rule in Germany.
Historians once portrayed Eichmann mostly as a colorless, unimaginative bureaucrat who carried out the Holocaust simply because he lacked the imagination to reject the crime. Essentially banal, this version of Eichmann turned him into a compliant functionary who handled the ghastly matter of collecting, transporting, and murdering millions of people with the same bland methodical means that other administrators applied to supplying the Wehrmacht with bread rations or new boots.
However, a closer examination of historical documents by other historians such as Bettina Stangneth led to a recent reevaluation of Eichmann.

text: Management was pleased to announce that its team's efforts resulted in fiscal 2008's sales and earnings results being the best in the company's 120 year history. The company intends to grow its business while maintaining a focus on quality in 2009. While Perrigo may harbor some minor weaknesses, we do not see these as having any significant impact on its future financial results. American Ecology ( ECOL) is one of the nation's oldest providers of radioactive, hazardous and industrial waste management services. The company's customers are commercial and government entities, such as nuclear power plants, medical and academic institutions, steel mills, refineries and chemical production facilities. We have rated American Ecology a buy since October 2005. The company reported record operating results for the second quarter of fiscal 2008, as operating income rose 20% year over year to $9.8 million. Net income also climbed 20%, reaching $6.1 million compared with $5.1 million in the same quarter one year prior, due to strong growth in disposal service revenue as the Idaho, Nevada, and Texas waste facilities increased the amount of waste disposed by 18% year over year. However, lower transportation revenue partially offset the increase in disposal service revenue. American Ecology also reported a 17% increase in gross profit for the second quarter, and the company had no debt at quarter end. In addition, the company declared a quarterly dividend of 18 cents per common share, which was a 20% increase from the prior-quarterly dividend of 15 cents per common share.

Appetite is the desire to eat food, sometimes due to hunger. Appealing foods can stimulate appetite even when hunger is absent. Appetite exists in all higher life-forms, and serves to regulate adequate energy intake to maintain metabolic needs. It is regulated by a close interplay between the digestive tract, adipose tissue and the brain. Appetite has a relationship with every individual's behavior. Appetitive and consummatory behaviours are the only processes that involve energy intake, whereas all other behaviours affect the release of energy. When stressed, appetite levels may increase and result in an increase of food intake. Decreased desire to eat is termed anorexia, while polyphagia (or "hyperphagia") is increased eating. Dysregulation of appetite contributes to anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, cachexia, overeating, and binge eating disorder.
Physiological factors
Cannon and Washburn (1912) proposed that eating begins when we have an empty stomach. They suggested that the walls of an empty stomach rub against each other to produce what are commonly called "hunger pangs". Some skeptics called Cannon's explanation of hunger "the rumble theory". However, observations of surgical patients indicated that there was more to the onset of eating than hunger pangs. Removal of the stomach did not abolish hunger pangs, and these patients reported the same feelings of hunger and satiety that they had experienced before surgery (Inglefinger, 1944). (The patients had had their stomachs removed because of cancer or large ulcers, and their esophagi had been attached directly to their small intestines). Although the patients ate small, frequent meals because they had no stomachs to hold food, their reports of feelings of hunger and their total food intake were essentially normal.
Depletion of the body's store of nutrients is a more likely cause of hunger. The primary fuels for the cells of our body are glucose (a simple sugar) and fatty acids (compounds produced by the breakdown of fats). If the digestive system contains food, these nutrients are absorbed in the blood and nourish our cells. But the digestive tract is sometimes empty; in fact, it is empty when we wake up every morning. There must be a reservoir that stores nutrients to keep the cells of the body nourished when the gut is empty. Indeed, there are two reservoirs: a short-term reservoir and a long-term reservoir. The short-term reservoir stores carbohydrates, and the long-term reservoir stores fat.
A number of variables have been found to relate to appetite sensation in individuals. The most influential of these is gender and age, with females experiencing greater appetite satisfaction than males and a decrease in appetite with age. Although BMI was not found to influence appetite, smokers and women ovulating experienced a lower appetite than their counterparts.[1]
The regulation of appetite (the appestat) has been the subject of much research in the last decade[update]. Breakthroughs included the discovery, in 1994, of leptin, a hormone produced by the adipose tissue that appeared to provide negative feedback. Leptin is a peptide hormone that affects homeostasis and immune responses.[2] Lowering food intake can lower leptin levels in the body, while increasing the intake of food can raise leptin levels. Later studies showed that appetite regulation is an immensely complex process involving the gastrointestinal tract, many hormones, and both the central and autonomic nervous systems.[2] The circulating gut hormones that regulate many pathways in the body result in appetite stimulation.[3]
The hypothalamus, a part of the brain, is the main regulatory organ for the human appetite. The neurons that regulate appetite appear to be mainly serotonergic, although neuropeptide Y (NPY) and Agouti-related peptide (AGRP) also play a vital role. Hypothalamocortical and hypothalamolimbic projections contribute to the awareness of hunger, and the somatic processes controlled by the hypothalamus include vagal tone (the activity of the parasympathetic autonomic nervous system), stimulation of the thyroid (thyroxine regulates the metabolic rate), the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and a large number of other mechanisms. Opioid receptor-related processes in the nucleus accumbens and ventral pallidum affect the palatability of foods.[4]
The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is the area of the brain that coordinates neurotransmitter, opioid and endocannabinoid signals to control feeding behaviour. The few important signalling molecules inside the NAc shell modulate the motivation to eat and the affective reactions for food. These molecules include the DA, Ach, opioids and cannabinoids and their action receptors inside the brain, DA, muscarinic and MOR and CB1 receptors respectively.[5]
The hypothalamus senses external stimuli mainly through a number of hormones such as leptin, ghrelin, PYY 3-36, orexin and cholecystokinin; all modify the hypothalamic response. They are produced by the digestive tract and by adipose tissue (leptin). Systemic mediators, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα), interleukins 1 and 6 and corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) influence appetite negatively; this mechanism explains why ill people often eat less.
In addition, the biological clock (which is regulated by the hypothalamus) stimulates hunger. Processes from other cerebral loci, such as from the limbic system and the cerebral cortex, project on the hypothalamus and modify appetite. This explains why in clinical depression and stress, energy intake can change quite drastically.
Role in disease
A limited or excessive appetite is not necessarily pathological. Abnormal appetite could be defined as eating habits causing malnutrition and related conditions such as obesity and its related problems.
Both genetic and environmental factors may regulate appetite, and abnormalities in either may lead to abnormal appetite. Poor appetite (anorexia) can have numerous causes, but may be a result of physical (infectious, autoimmune or malignant disease) or psychological (stress, mental disorders) factors. Likewise, hyperphagia (excessive eating) may be a result of hormonal imbalances, mental disorders (e.g. depression) and others. Dyspepsia, also known as indigestion, can also affect appetite as one of its symptoms is feeling "overly full" soon after beginning a meal.[6]
Abnormal appetite may also be linked to genetics on a chromosomal scale. In the 1950s, the discovery of the Prader Willi Syndrome, a type of obesity, displayed a causation at a gene locus. Additionally, anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are more commonly found in females than males – thus hinting at a possibility of a linkage to the X-chromosome.[7]
Dysregulation of appetite lies at the root of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. Anorexia nervosa is an eating condition categorized by a penetrating fear of being fat and severe limiting of food consumption. Furthermore, anorexics might do excessive exercise. Individuals that have anorexia have high levels of ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates appetite, so the body is trying to cause hunger, but it is being suppressed by the person.[8] Binge eating disorder (commonly referred to as BED) is described as eating excessively (or uncontrollably) between periodic time intervals. The risk for BED can be present in children and most commonly manifests during adulthood. Studies suggest that the heritability of BED in adults is approximately 50%.[9] Similarly to bulimia some people may be involved in purging and binging. They might puke after food intake or take purgatives. However, the person may still believe they are overweight.[10]
Various hereditary forms of obesity have been traced to defects in hypothalamic signaling (such as the leptin receptor and the MC-4 receptor) or are still awaiting characterization – Prader-Willi syndrome – in addition, decreased response to satiety may promote development of obesity.[11]
Other than genetically-stimulated appetite abnormalities, there are physiological ones that do not require genes for activation. For example, ghrelin and leptin are released from the stomach and pancreas, respectively, into the blood stream at the signal of the hypothalamus. Ghrelin stimulates feelings of hunger, whereas leptin stimulates feelings of satisfaction from food.[12] Any changes in normal production levels of these two hormones can lead to obesity. Looking at leptin, the more cells present in a body, the more adipose tissues there are, and thus, the more leptin would be produced. This overproduction of leptin will cause the hypothalamus to become resistant to leptin and so, although the pancreas is producing leptin, the body will not understand that it should stop eating.[13] This will produce a perpetual cycle for those that are obese.
Mechanisms controlling appetite are a potential target for weight loss drugs. Appetite control mechanisms seem to strongly counteract undereating, whereas they appear weak to control overeating. Early anorectics were fenfluramine and phentermine. A more recent addition is sibutramine which increases serotonin and noradrenaline levels in the central nervous system, but had to be withdrawn from the market when it was shown to have an adverse cardiovascular risk profile. Similarly, the appetite suppressant rimonabant (a cannabinoid receptor antagonist) had to be withdrawn when it was linked with worsening depression and increased risk of suicide. Recent reports on recombinant PYY 3-36 suggest that this agent may contribute to weight loss by suppressing appetite.
Given the epidemic proportions of obesity in the Western world, and the fact that it is increasing rapidly in some poorer countries, observers[who?] expect developments in this area to snowball in the near future. Dieting alone is ineffective in most obese adults – and even obese adults who successfully lose weight through dieting overwhelmingly put weight back on afterwards.

Series: Birds of Ontario
366 pages, 88 maps, 84 illus
University of British Columbia Press
Literature on the life history of birds is abundant and knowledge continues to grow. But there are few reference documents that compile this information so it is readily available without conducting extensive literature searches.
In this book, information on habitat, limiting factors, and status is summarized for 84 species of nonpasserines that occur regularly in Ontario. These topics are covered for the three primary avian seasons: breeding, migration, and winter. Habitat, nest sites, territoriality, site fidelity, annual reproductive effort, habitat loss and degradation, environmental contaminants, and a variety of other topics are covered in the species accounts. A map depicting breeding and wintering range is presented for each species, and illustrations by Ross James accompany each listing.
This will be an essential reference for wildlife biologists, environmental consultants, and planners preparing or reviewing environmental impact statements and environmental assessments. Serious birders will find it of interest as well. Although the book focuses on Ontario birds, it is highly relevant to adjacent provinces and states.
Birds of Ontario will be a very useful reference for environmental consultants and planners, but also an interesting read and a valuable information source for Ontario birders. A tremendous amount of material is summarized in the species accounts, and it is presented in a well written style. I strongly recommend this book. - Ron Tozer, Ontario Birds

How do I lift and move the top half of a full sheet cake to put on top of first layer and filling?
I just use a cake board the same size as the cake and slide it under the torted layer to lift it off, then when it's time to put it back on, I just slide it back on using the board it is already on.
you can also use a cookie sheet (the kind that only has a lip on one side) to slide under the layer and lift off, then it can slide back off
i do as meagan84 does, never had one to break.hth
I use a flat cooke sheet from Wilton
What are the dimensions of the cake you are calling a "full sheet"?
I agree with mortega5. I use a flat cookie sheet, the kind with no sides, when I torte most cakes.
I torte the cake, then gently slice the top layer in half (across the width) with a bread/serrated knife. So, I basically take the top layer off in two pieces, fill the cake, then replace the two halves of the top layer. When the cake is iced, it's impossible to tell it's been cut. It's so much easier than trying to lift off a huge, thin layer of cake.
Freezing that top layer works wonders--you can position it perfectly, do a crumb coat and come back and finish after it's thawed. No chance of breakage, and no need to cut.
I always bake sheet cakes on parchment paper. The bottom becomes the top. Leave the paper on until you have filled and placed it back on top. I use a cake board to move it (the paper just gives it extra stability). Peel the paper off and you are ready to ice the cake.

Authors: Hamid V. Ansari
As we know probability of finding a system in one of its accessible states is proportial to the Boltzmann factor. It is shown that contrary to what is thought at present in this proportion the energy appearing in the Boltzmann factor is not a variable but it is a constant and the variable is the state accessible for the system having this constant energy. So, what at present is accepted as Boltzmann factor is not real. Deduction of the Maxwell velocity distribution as an instance of the consequences of the real Boltzmann factor, and the first deduction of the relation E = hν as an instance of the consequences of the wrong Boltzmann factor are presented. A logical review of some of the fundamental elements of the statistical mechanics, that also contains some new viewpoints, has been necessary. A factor is introduced in a general expression for molar specific heat which plays the role of partition (not equipartition) of energy and giving suitable amounts to it all the practical cases including ones related to ideal gases and crystalline solids are coveredν

Core Courses
Fundamentals of Sustainability (3 credits)
The course will introduce students to an interdisciplinary inquiry into the complexities of sustainable development and sustainability. The course outlines sustainability and sustainable development using a balanced perspective as it is understood through the social sciences (people, cultures, empowerment, education and health), nature and the environment, and prosperity and the economy. The three pillars of sustainability (people, planet, prosperity) will form a core organizational strategy and a systems orientation will allow students to understand the fundamental reasons for unsustainable practices. Students will inquire into positive local, national and international efforts in economic development, as it is related to social entrepreneurship, in education, in health and in social justice by becoming familiar with the growing body of sustainability scholarship and by identifying future trends that will challenge existing paradigms, yet also open up opportunities for societal change and transformation.
Education for Sustainability and Entrepreneurship (3 credits)
This course is designed to allow students to acquire an in-depth knowledge of the theoretical underpinnings of Education for Sustainability (EfS) and trace its historical and cultural growth through Chapter 36 of Agenda 21 to the Earth Charter and beyond. The course will focus on the EfS competencies, entrepreneurship education, creativity and innovation, providing students with opportunities to build practical, instructional strategies through active inquiry and discovery that enable people to turn ideas into action.
Curriculum Inquiry: Foundations of Theory and Practice (3 credits)
Curriculum Inquiry provides an introduction to curriculum theory as being of central importance to the study of educational experience. This course focuses on the basis of current curriculum theories and their relationship to historical and contemporary educational practices. The course will provide a special focus on the impact of sustainability education and ecological thinking on current educational practice. A central task of curriculum inquiry is to put forth the broad diversity of curriculum discourses to be explored by educators in the name of good teaching and learning with an understanding that education, both formal and informal, is regarded for its potential for transformative societal change. The overall aim of this course is to provide the means through curriculum scholarship to become more fully involved in critical inquiries, discussions, and decisions that concern teaching, learning, the social good, and public education.
EDUC 5115 Research Methods (3 credits)*
This course is designed to introduce students in CBU's Graduate programmes to the essential elements which underpin the planning, implementation, analysis, evaluation and reporting of educational research. Students will also become familiar with CBU's application policy and procedures for research involving humans, as well as the Tri-Council standards for research ethics.
Health Promoting Schools (3 credits)
This course builds on the World Health Organization definition of a Health Promoting School (HPS). "A health promoting school is one that constantly strengthens its capacity as a healthy setting for living, learning and working." Students will be introduced to the rationale and evidence for HPS as well as the fundamental components and processes behind becoming a HPS. In addition to HPS, frameworks such as Comprehensive School Health will also be examined and discussed with respect to the relevance for sustainability education, policy and practice.
Education for Sustainability, Creativity and Innovation Project (6 credits)
This project-based course provides the opportunity for students to integrate sustainability education into a project at their organization. Students will assess the current strengths and areas for development regarding sustainability education in their school. Based on the assessment, students will design and implement, evaluate, and report on a project that is completed within the timeframe of the course.
Students choosing the major project will apply course knowledge and skills to the development of a practical project. The student's supervisor must approve the subject and outcomes of the project. Specific requirements will be arrived at in consultation with the student, the supervisor, and the Department. The requirements for the project will be clearly delineated to avoid disputes later. The project should demonstrate that the student is able to apply knowledge and skills to develop and implement a real world project with identifiable outcomes.
NOTE: Similar to the process used in our counseling diploma, students who choose the project route will be required to submit a signed letter from their principal/ organizational supervisor who will confirm their support for the implementation of the project and willingness to provide a minor supervisory role.
Sustainability, Creativity and Innovation Thesis (9 credits)
The thesis will be undertaken with the supervision of a faculty supervisor chosen by the student from amongst the ranks of faculty who have been vetted by the Office of Research and Graduate Studies. The thesis will involve the development of a thesis proposal that is approved by the student's supervisor and the CBU Research Ethics Board. The thesis is expected to be 60-80 pages (double-spaced) in length and adhere to the approved standards of the Office of Research and Graduate Studies. All theses will be examined by an external reader selected by the student's supervisor, and also through an oral defense to be attended by the student (virtually or in person), and a thesis defense committee [consisting of the thesis supervisor, at least one MEd (SCI) programme faculty member as well as the external reader]. Successful completion of the thesis will contribute 9 credits toward the MEd (SCI); once the research proposal is approved, the thesis will typically be completed within 6 – 12 months.
Elective Courses
Indigenous and Global Perspectives on SCI (3 credits)
Formal and non-formal education initiatives have embraced Education for Sustainability (EfS) throughout the world with practical accomplishments – modeling processes and practices that are transforming communities, schools and education. Students will explore Indigenous worldviews and global perspectives on EfS, entrepreneurship, and Living Schools with potential applications to their educational setting.
Nature and Outdoor Learning (3 credits)
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the historical, cultural and philosophical development of the concept of nature and the evolving human relationship with the natural world in Western thought since the advent of a Cartesian worldview. The course will trace the bifurcation of human experience from the natural world and the ramifications of the dominance of Cartesian dualism for both people and the environment. Students will be challenged to connect the evolution of the concept of nature with our current shift to educating for sustainability. The course will explore the relationship of children and young people with nature and inquire into models of outdoor learning. Students will engage with their local places and integrate the theories and practices of outdoor learning in ways relevant to cultural and local contexts.
Sustainability, Happiness and Wellbeing (3 credits)
This course will examine the nexus of sustainability, happiness and wellbeing with respect to education. Students will explore the relationship between individual, community and global wellbeing and the relevance for educators, both personally and professionally. In addition to relevant research, students will also become familiar with educational resources for sustainability education, social and emotional wellbeing, and sustainable happiness .
Transformative Education: Teaching for Creativity (3 credits)
A foundational component of competencies for educators in EfS is the capacity to achieve transformation (people, pedagogy, and education systems). This involves developing the understanding of why transformation is needed and how to facilitate these transformations through the study of the creative process and the acquisition of the requisite skills to imagine and co-create sustainable futures.
The MEd (SCI) is designed to be a transformative programme and this course will establish a learning community that supports students to develop their own skills and practices in teaching for creativity and innovation as transformative educators, learners, and leaders. It is anticipated that ongoing support will be established through an internet platform that enables students to share resources and experiences.
Ecotexts : Sustainability and the Cultural Imagination (3 credits)
This course will introduce students to the field of ecologically oriented cultural studies, or 'eco-criticism'. It will critically examine various cultural constructions of sustainability in a range of texts exemplifying different discourses (e.g. fictional, philosophical, scientific) and genres (e.g. film, documentary, narrative, poetry). In addition, consideration will be given to the emergence of a number of distinct approaches within eco-critical studies, such as critical eco-feminism, eco-phenomenology, eco-psychology and environmental justice. The prefix "eco" is interpreted inclusively to reflect environmental, societal, economic issues and the inherent interrelationships that exist.
Digital Citizenship in a Global Community (3 credits)
Digital citizenship can be defined as the norms of appropriate and responsible behaviour online. Within this course we will examine digital citizenship from two major perspectives: responsible use in the K-12 environment and the world beyond schools. Within each perspective we will review policy and practice, rights and responsibilities, safety and security, as well as health and wellness. Some specific themes include cyberbullying, digital etiquette, access, copyright, borderless classrooms, the digital divide and civic engagement.

June 13, 2016
ALBANY — A bill that would bar the advertising of illegal short-term rentals on platforms like Airbnb is gaining steam in the last week of the legislative session.
Sen. Andrew Lanza (R-Staten Island) and Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal (D-Manhattan) have agreed on language for a joint bill they hope can move before lawmakers end the legislative session on Thursday.
The bill would prohibit the advertising of home sharing in multi-family units in New York City for less than 30 days and carry fines of up to $7,500 for multiple violations.
The first-in-the-nation legislation has managed to unify both housing activists and developers.
"Every day I hear from New Yorkers who are sick and tired of living in buildings that have been turned into illegal hotels through Airbnb because so many units are rented out to tourists, not permanent residents," Rosenthal said.
"Time and time again, Airbnb has proved that it is unwilling to work with us to bring its operations into compliance with the law."
John Banks, president of the Real Estate Board of New York, said illegal short-term rentals pose safety and quality of life issues for building residents while the building owners are the ones who get stuck paying the fines for the illegal actions of their tenants.
"This legislation is a powerful tool to stop both owners and tenants from taking such illegal actions," Banks said.

One in six pregnant women at probable risk of depression, researchers find
One in six pregnant women in Ireland is at a probable risk of depression, researchers have found.
In the first study of its kind, academics also found a higher risk of depression among poorer and younger mothers-to-be, as well as those who already have children.
They warned that antenatal screening for depression is not routine in Ireland, despite increasing scientific evidence that the condition can lead to complications during labour as well as low birth weight.
Depression in pregnant women is also suspected of having an impact on the baby's development and an increased risk of mental health problems in childhood and later life.
Veronica O'Keane, a professor of psychiatry at Trinity College Dublin who headed the research, said women in Ireland should be screened for depression early in their antenatal care plan and should be encouraged to seek help.
"Properly caring for the mental health of women during pregnancy protects the longer-term mental health of both mother and child," she said.
"Antenatal depression, as we are seeing with this study, is common.
"Rates of depression during pregnancy among women in Ireland are at least as high, and probably higher, than in other EU countries."
The Well Before Birth study questioned 5,000 women at all stages of pregnancy attending six hospitals in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Mayo between January and September this year.
It found depression rates in Ireland are "high" and may be higher than other western countries.
Key findings include:
:: 16% of women attending maternity services were at probable risk of depression.
:: Risk of depression increased as pregnancy advanced; 12.9% of women are at risk in the first trimester, 13.8% in the second and 17.2% in the third.
:: 22% of women under 18 were at risk of depression.
Ms O'Keane added that hormonal changes that happen during pregnancy can contribute to the development of depression.
"This is why it is so important that depression is screened for during pregnancy and that women are encouraged to look for support," she said.
"If we don't do this as a systematic part of our antenatal care plan, we are putting women at risk, not only of suffering distress, but of being compromised before birth and so less able to cope with the additional stresses of caring for a baby."

Kill la Kill Volume Four
Studio: Trigger
Publisher: Madman Entertainment
Format: DVD (reviewed) / Blu-ray
Release Date: April 15, 2015
Price: $29.95 AUD (DVD) – Available Here / $34.95 AUD (Blu-ray) – Available Here
This volume of Kill la Kill features the continuation of Lady Satsuki's Tri-City Schools Raid Trip. She is facing fierce opposition by Kaneo Takarada, the student council president of Naniwa Kinman High School, who talks and waves money around like a stereotypical pimp, with bling to boot. Many people were surprised in early March when this volume was given an official classification restricting its purchase to adults only in Australia. The last volume ramped up the violence to the next level, so how much further did Trigger take it with episodes 15-19, and did they take it too far?
Osaka is the last place left unconquered in Satsuki's raid trip. Takarada rules Osaka with money in the same way that Satsuki rules Honnouji Academy with fear, and this makes for the main point of the episode; money can buy support, but fear rules people, an interesting thought when considered in relation to global politics and both past and current events. Satsuki's real reason for the raid trip is revealed, and again she fights Ryuko. Ryuko claims back what Satsuki stole from her, and then the main event of this volume begins: the Honnouji Academy Cultural and Sports Grand Festival.
Despite the name of the festival, it bears no resemblance to actual cultural and sports festivals that can be seen in many other Japanese series. It serves as the next step in Ragyo Kiryuin's plan to take over the human race, which actually turns out to be her plan to sacrifice the human race to Life Fibers. Many major plot reveals occur here, and Satsuki's true intentions are finally revealed, pitting her against Ragyo along with Ryuko. The two still do not see eye to eye, but they are both now working towards the same end. More details are revealed about Ryuko's family, as are the horrifying atrocities that Ragyo committed. As Ragyo's plans are put into action, enemies become allies as the Elite Four join with Nudist Beach, the headquarters of which where unfortunately damaged by Nonon Jakuzure under Satsuki's order.
Following episode 15, the action scenes are not as fast-paced as they have been up until that point. The violence increases significantly, with copious amounts of blood spurting from one character's body at one point, causing blood to rain down for several seconds. While this is even more extreme than the violence shown in the last episodes, viewers will likely find that the violence against this character is completely justified, if not straight away then when her actions in the past have been revealed. These actions include her experimentation on her one-year old child, who died in the process. Having no compassion towards the dead toddler, she experiments on her new baby girl by connecting life fibers to her brain, which has been revealed by removing the back of her head entirely, an event that is graphically shown. Viewer discretion during this scene is advised, as it is extremely disturbing and sickening, made all the worse by the baby's crying and helplessness.
As episodes 16 to 19 prominently feature Nudist Beach, the organisation formed to destroy Revocs, Ragyo Kiryuin's clothing company that is taking over the world, there is much more nudity in these episodes. Not only do Aikuro Mikisugi's nipples radiate a bright purple light, but now his genital region does too, but obviously the real-life implications of a homeroom teacher standing naked in front of two of his female students is an issue that will never be discussed in Kill la Kill. One might wonder how his clothes just fall off of his body with no provocation on multiple occasions, but it does make for some light comic-relief during some very serious episodes, and that was all the reason Trigger needed to defy the laws of physics for the umpteenth time.
The other major issue with these episodes, found mainly in episodes 16 and 19, is the continual sexual abuse of Satsuki by her own mother Ragyo. In episode 16, while Satsuki is in the bath at her home, Ragyo uses her hands to sexually stimulate sensitive regions of her body, with the camera angles carefully avoiding directly showing what Ragyo is doing when she moves her hands to a lower region of Satsuki's body. That sexual abuse is even featured here is a problem on its own, but that Satsuki did not say no or even remotely attempt to stop her mother suggests a serious issue with Japanese culture. Taking matters even further, Ragyo later traps her in a giant cage, binding her hands together with a chain hanging from the top of it. Now completely helpless, Satsuki is forced to endure more sexual abuse from her mother, which include smacking Satsuki's behind several times. This makes up the majority of the reason the Australian Classification Board classified this volume as 18+, and the disappointing thing is that these scenes are completely unnecessary, as the previously mentioned disturbing scene is more than enough to make viewers realise how evil a person Ragyo is and to feel sympathetic towards Satsuki and her true cause.
The new opening animation premiering in episode 16 is in the same style as the animation for "Shirius", with the new ending animation (also premiering episode 16) focusing on Mako Mankanshoku in a somewhat deformed state. Fans of Mako will enjoy this animation, which features Mako doing completely random things. Episodes 15, 17 and 18 do not use more than a few seconds of the opening animation, or any of it at all, however the opening theme song is played at the end of episode 15, leaving more time for the main part of the episode.
Each episode tends to use the same music as the last in this volume, and at the same point in each episode too, meaning that some pieces of music are barely heard at all, but the quality of the music is such that this does not matter too much. The voice acting continues to be as excellent as ever, although the pronunciation of names and terms continues to be particularly dreadful, even by the usual standards of English dubs. Often when characters in anime are given accents in dubs, the choice of accent is met with negative opinions, but the choice of accent for Kaneo Takarada here is an excellent choice that enhances the comedy. It is unfortunate that Madman's release does not include English credits following each episode or at the end of each disc, as it would be interesting to find out what other roles the voice actors in Kill la Kill have had.
From episode 16 onwards, both the opening and ending change. Opening song "Ambiguous" is a great replacement for "Shirusu", and at the same time "Shin Sekai Koukyougaku" is a fun replacement for "Gomen ne, Ii Ko ja Irarenai", although the contrast between the fun atmosphere of the song and the dark and disturbing content of the episodes is interesting.
On-disc extras include the textless version of the new opening and ending animation and the 'web-version' episode previews. The previews featured in the extras menu are actually the same previews that follow the TV broadcast version of each episode. Given that Senketsu states in preview for episode 20 that viewers will have to watch the web-version previews from that episode onwards, it is strange that the web-version previews have not been included on any of the volumes so far even though they are listed as being included.
The first episode of this volume is the last episode to feature the fast-paced insanity and humour that has characterised this series so far, with the following four episodes marking the almost complete shift from action-comedy series to disturbingly dark action series. It is often the case that attempts to add drama into a series will diminish its entertainment value and turn it into something that no longer bears any resemblance to previous episodes, but Kill la Kill has managed to retain some of its familiar comedy even as it descends almost irreversibly into madness. Although there have been several extremely disturbing and sickening scenes so far, there can still be hope that the series will not descend solely into a dark, dramatic revenge plot and instead return to its comedic roots.

rtvscan is a process belonging to Symantec anti-virus, if you stop the AV that will stop the process but also leave you open to infection, you may want to consider upgrading your Symantec or moving to something with a lower footprint
Nov 23, 2011 at 5:56 UTC
the service is constantly monitored by Norton and your actions on the PC.
So you'll probably have to live if you still want to use Norton.

rtvscan is a process of symantec antivirus, go to this link it will give you some good information. Thats why i uninstalled symantec from my computers =)
The rtvscan.exe process constantly monitors your computer's running processes, accessed files and registry to detect virus activity. It is one of the core components to the virus protection offered by the Norton Antivirus scanning software and should not be stopped. If this process is stopped, Norton Antivirus will not be able to effectively protect your computer, and you run the risk of being infected by viruses, trojans and other malware.
Nov 23, 2011 at 11:53 UTC
What Symantec product and version are you running? There have been several fixes relating to rtvscan issues.

I agree with Thomas above.
It is really important to understand which Symantec Endpoint Protection version are you carrying??
Also, check this Article:

Make sure you have the Latest version of Symantec Endpoint Protection on your network.
Hope that helps!!

text: I was playing zombies with a few friends on Black Ops. I was playing Ascension. We were using the box and got a teddy bear. We looked at the tv and it was near the lander near Speed Cola. We went and it wasn't there. We looked at all the other mystery box spots and it wasn't at any of them. So we had no mystery box. We could only get it on firesale. And my friend picked up the death machine power-up and he couldn't use it. He was still using his normal gun. Has any of this ever happened to you?

Chap.103About 15 minutes after Criss called Costa and George, all you could hear inside our bedroom was yelling. Constant and annoying yelling. Costa was cursing at Bri, and George was screaming at Alex. All for what? We only went to a gay club."Why the hell would you do something like that!?!? You're lucky my brother came and got you guys!!" Costa shouted from the other side of the door."What the hell were you thinking, Alex!?" Goerge did the same.I sat quietly on the living room couch, waiting for Criss to begin yelling too. I started to egnor the yelling in my room, and focused on winning this argument that I believed was going to stur in a second."Why did you go out tonight?" Criss began with calm tones."Why? I can't go out anymore?""Just answer the question, Vicky! I don't wanna play games with you right now.""I was invited. You went off to your show, and I agreed to it."Criss stood in front of me with a cold glare, "You should know by now that I don't want you going anywhere without me, or at least without my bodygaurds. Crazy stuff like,what happened tonight,....will happen!""WHOA! Ok, I don't remember being chained to you so much to where I can't even go out. I wasn't even by myself this time!""No, but you were just about to get hurt!! You know what that would have done to me if I found out that anything happened to you!?? Vicky, you were about to be shot! Raped if you let him!!That would have killed me!""Damn it, we were fine Criss! You were the heroe of the night!" I jumped up ready to head somewhere."WHAT THE !" He snatched my wrist and yanked me back to him, "Is this some kind of joke!!? I left in the middle of my show to come get you, and all I get is a shrug!?? 'Oh we were fine Criss, you saved us, so no worries!'" He insultingly mocked."What's wrong with you!!?" I yelled."No! What's wrong with you!!? You go somewhere and almost sleep with another guy, and expect me not to worry!"" I didn't sleep with him!! We just danced, Criss!""Oh really?""Really! Just a damn dance. Yes, he almost went over board, but it serves him right!!" I snatched my hand away, "Serves you right aswell! Bri should have never sent those text messages!! Now look at the three of us! We're getting yelled at by our men......and its getting really annoying!!"soon after I finished, Costa roughly swung the door open from our room."Bri, I don't wanna hear about it anymore!! It's over!! I'm still upset that you had to call Criss, out of all people, have him leave his show, and save you guys, when I'm just sitting at the bed!! You could have called me!""Why did you leave the show, Criss?" George rose from out the room.----------------------------------------------u----------p-----------d-------a--------t---------e----------?-------

Mexican Spaghetti
READY IN: 55mins
Recipe by TPubmgjbd
A good way to use up leftover rotisserie chicken. I've tried this recipe the original way and the low fat way and it's good both ways with the only difference being that I prefer regular cheddar cheese.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1⁄4 cup butter or 1⁄4 cup margarine (to make a low fat dish, use liquid Butter Buds)
- 1 (24 ounce) can whole tomatoes (I like to chop these up some)
- 1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
- 10 ounces spaghetti, broken into pieces and uncooked
- 1 1⁄2 cups picante sauce
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 cups cooked white meat chicken or 2 cups turkey, cut into bitesized cubes (you can use leftovers or canned)
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese (use non-fat or low-fat cheese if desired)
Directions See How It's Made
- In a large skillet, saute onion and garlic in butter.
- Add chicken broth and whole tomatoes with juice.
- Add spaghetti, Picante sauce and cumin.
- Cover and simmer until spaghetti is cooked and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Add chicken or turkey and spoon into a casserole dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
- Sprinkle cheese over top of casserole.
- Bake covered at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes until cheese is melted.

Even in the digital era, photos are much better when they are printed on paper. We are accustomed to printed images and many owners of digital cameras and mobile phone cameras prefer to print their best photos. The concept of instant printing was made a reality by the renowned camera company Polaroid. Now, film cameras look archaically, surrendering their position to digital ones. But Polaroid does not surrender, it comes with a similar idea, but adapted to the modern market; the Digital Instant Mobile Photo Printer.
Polaroid brings instant photography into the digital age and helps consumers rediscover the magic of instant, printed pictures. The new line of Polaroid digital instant printers utilize a revolutionary process to create full-colour digital photos without ink cartridges or ribbons. Using a Bluetooth or USB connection, the pocket-sized instant digital printer is the easiest way for consumers to print pictures stored on a cell phone or digital camera.
Polaroid Digital Instant Mobile Photo Printer is a next step in an instant photo market. It is a small printer, sized almost like a cigarette pack, and can print photos right from the digital camera or mobile phone. It is Bluetooth and USB enabled, so it will be no problem in connecting your device to this printer. Li-Ion battery rechargeable battery means that you can take this gadget wherever you may go and you will be able to print newly taken photos right after you made them, no matter where you are now. ZINK Zero Ink printing technology makes this printer able to print a bright and qualitative 2" x 3" prints in an instant.
This Mobile Photo Printer can ease the life of people, who like to travel with their camera. It is very cool to be able to print your new photos a few moments after you actually taken. The Digital Instant Mobile Photo Printer uses ZINK Zero Ink printing technology to create 2" x 3" full bleed prints in an instant, whether the source is from a digital camera or camera phone which is hooked up via USB or Bluetooth. Since the printer itself ships with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, you get to make use it wherever you go.
The ZINK Zero technology means using no ink but custom made photo papers to print images. You can only use ZINK photo paper for it. The said photo paper already contains the colors yellow, cyan and magenta. The dyes are colorless before printing. What releases them during the printing process is heat. The printed pictures are only a bit bigger than playing cards and they could be printed within seconds.v "Personal digital media collections are growing at exponential rates, and consumers spend most of their time experiencing media on a computer monitor or tiny LCD screen," said Michael London, CEO of Polaroid. "Polaroid's new innovations put consumers back in control of their digital media, making it sharable however they choose."

Something that gives all concealed carriers and firearms enthusiasts a bad name is a negligent discharge. Few things give the gun-grabbers as much ammunition – pardon the pun – as reports of people injuring themselves or others with a negligent shooting. People can't carry guns safely, they'll say, which is clearly wrong. In fact, it's relatively easy to safely carry a gun without ever suffering a negligent discharge. Here's how to make sure that you stay ND-proof.
Treat Every Gun Like A Loaded Gun And Check The Chamber
Ever hear of or see a news report of a person who was cleaning a loaded gun and negligently fired it or something to that effect? It could happen to anyone, and much easier than you'd think. Often enough, you'll even see headlines where it happened to a police officer; some cop was cleaning his pistol when it "went off."
This happens when a GLOCK, or other firearm of similar design, is taken down for cleaning without checking the chamber. The trigger, you see, has to be pulled in some guns in order to strip it down. Someone forgets to check the chamber first and…bang.
Likewise, a good deal of other negligent discharges occur because the person handling the firearm assumed it wasn't loaded. As we all know, the first rule of gun safety is to treat every gun as if it's loaded.
If you're about to handle a firearm and don't intend to discharge a round, don't rely on assumptions or anyone's word that it isn't loaded – check the chamber. It only takes a second.
Wear A Concealed Carry Holster That Covers The Gun's Trigger Guard And Keep It Clear
Another good tip is to invest in a quality concealed carry holster that completely covers the trigger guard. A gun that doesn't have a manual safety or a grip safety can be fired simply by pulling the trigger. While that normally requires a finger pull, there are a number of negligent discharges that have occurred because something entered the trigger guard, snagged the trigger and discharged the pistol.
For instance, a number of minimalist belt slide holsters have caused NDs when the leather softened to the point of curling into the trigger guard. Such holsters are normally safe – though they were primarily designed with a 1911 pistol in mind, rather than more modern firearms with fewer safety devices. But they have a sell-by-date.
In other instances, clothing has gotten in holsters, snagged a trigger and caused a ND. Pocket carrying without a pocket holster has, too – something in the pocket or the pocket fabric itself has touched off a pocket gun on numerous occasions. One should avoid pocket carry if possible, and employ a pocket holster if they must carry in this fashion.
How can this be resolved? First by making sure the trigger guard is completely covered by a holster. Secondly, by taking pains to ensure nothing can get in the trigger guard except for the gun.
In fact, Concealed Nation fans, you can even order a special Concealed Nation Holster from Alien Gear, featuring the Concealed Nation logo, blue neoprene backer and orange spacers in line with Concealed Nation's color scheme.
Avoid Drop Fires with Holster Retention and Sound Carrying
Another cause of negligent firing is drop fires, when a firearm is dropped and discharges a round. This has become somewhat less of a risk in the modern era, as drop safeties have been a common feature on guns for some time now, and in many states are mandatory. Transfer bars and other firing pin safety features, though, don't always work (any mechanical system is subject to failure at some point) and not every gun has them.
To avoid drops and potential drop fires, there are several strategies one can employ. First is to carry with a good quality holster. One with adequate retention that doesn't allow a pistol to travel while holstered. A gun that isn't going anywhere can't be dropped from a holster. A gun that isn't properly secured may.
Likewise, avoid off-body carry unless it's not possible to carry on body. Purses, fanny packs, messenger backs and briefcases can all be dropped, and there are a number of news reports of purses going "bang" when dropped. Not only that, but they can also be stolen.
Therefore, to avoid a drop fire, carry in a secure holster.
Remember The Four Rules Of Gun Safety
Lastly, follow the four rules of gun safety. Treat every gun as if it's loaded. Keep your finger off the trigger unless you're ready to shoot. Don't let the muzzle cover anything you don't want to destroy. Be sure of your target and what's beyond it.
For instance, don't put your finger on the trigger and pull unless you intend to fire, or unless you've made sure the pistol is clear. Keep it pointed in a safe direction, especially if manually decocking a gun.
If you follow these rules, you should avoid any negligent discharges.

41 Responses to How to Ensure You'll Never Have a Negligent Discharge
I lost a friend (who survived two Vietnam tours) about 20 years ago to a combination of alcohol (function alcoholic) and it isn't loaded pistol.
My personal rule is never any alcohol with firearms. After hunting or range sure but never with.
Don't load your gun until you are ready to destroy something?
Assuming the something you want to destroy is willing to wait.
It's easier to remember to check the chamber for a round if you always keep one in there.
Lots of jobs require loaded firearm. Being overconfident or too casual with a minimum of "training" is usually what happens.
Never happened to me or any of my soldiers in the army
But I have been told several times my state police hold the world record for self shooting with glocks. Not sure if it is true but fairly common. A combination of cheap holster designed for another pistol as noted by author and under half the training time required for civilian license in Australia doesn't help
A retired policeman and friend of mine told me that the types of wounds most commonly received by police are foot and leg wounds. So, you're right.
Something-something keep your booger hook off the bang-switch…
EDIT – Ultimate Schadenfreude – Check out what Obama says at 25 seconds in this vid:
That made my day. Thank you.
By the way, if Liberal "men" did not have so many negligent discharges Liberal women would not be so concerned about a new SCOTUS overturning Roe v Wade.
Be sure of your target AND what's beyond it.
Just sayin'.
That was awesome!!!
He who laughs last, laughs best…
EVERY gun is loaded. As an adult, that has been my rule, always, irrespective of ANY assurances given me by others. Thankfully, I have ALWAYS ignored "she's empty", as that statement has been incorrect more than once. I personally ensure the firearm is clear, then I/we proceed from there. I would much rather see the "WTF" look on someone's face when I remove/eject a round, than allow for any tragic outcome. Over the years, only one person has disagreed to hand over the firearm in a safe manner so I may verify, and that person was never dealt with in ANY manner again. This all comes from a time at the age of 16, working in a supermarket when I found a revolver under the register counter and treated it as unloaded. Played around cocking and letting down the hammer, until negligently shooting a hole through the counter and damaging some floor tiles (thankfully, no one was injured). The owner of the market accidentally left the gun when I relieved him, but I foolishly began to play with it instead of informing him when I found it. Yes I did lose the job that day, but I learned two very important lessons right then and there. Guns are not toys to be played with, and unless absolutely confirmed otherwise, EVERY GUN IS LOADED.
Many years ago after being told a gun was empty by a good friend of my brother, I dropped the empty mag and racked a very live round out of the chamber….nice enough guy buy careless. He later put a black tip .30-06 through the freezer in his basement and through the water heater before it went through the wall and into the dirt behind the house. He was the source of many of my cautionary tales.
Another cautionary tale: never attempt to edit a post on this site until the clock says less than 4 minutes left to edit it, otherwise it will tell you you do not have permission to edit it. Software really needs to be fixed.
The edit window doesn't show up on my end anymore…
I take a bit of an issue with this article. The only way to ensure you never have an ND is to never handle a firearm.
Top tier operators and SWAT guys have ND's. "On a long enough time line the survival rate for everyone drops to zero", well on a long enough time line everyone who handles guns regularly is very likely to have an ND.
They get complacent because they believe they "are too tied SWAT guys". There is no excuse except excuses.
Ummm… no. Well, yeah, until it's your ND. Then I bet we'll hear all sorts of excuses.
People make mistakes. All people make mistakes. If you handle guns long enough you'll make a mistake and it may well result in an ND.
You have to break multiple rules to harm someone when you make a mistake. That's why the rules are redundant. So that if you break one you still don't hurt anyone.
This "there is no excuse" nonsense comes from people who think they're so badass that they'll never make a mistake. You're human. You make mistakes in everything you do. Don't get all holier than thou about it. That attitude is the first step towards exactly the complacency you think other people have fallen victim to.
Oh, and BTW, no I've never had an ND
I agree with you. An ND is not excusable, but people are human and humans make mistakes. It's really a bummer that cops tend to screw up more than taxpayers, but I don't believe a non-injury ND should end a career or cost a taxpayer his gun rights.
I've never ND'd a firearm either, but a lot of TTAG commenters seem to have a "no forgiveness" ND policy.
I just finished cleaning up my workroom.
I have a simple rule … no live ammo in the same room where I clean guns.
So guess what I found in my workroom? Yep. Sigh. My "safe space," wasn't. And my own darned fault.
This is why we have multiple, overlapping safety rules. Even though I messed up and had ammo in my workroom; even though I could have screwed up and loaded a live round instead of a snap-cap to function test; if I follow the rest of the rules, nobody gets hurt.
Just like athletics, it's always good to back to fundamentals.
I believe that a sizable portion of "accidental gun deaths" are actually suicides. Especially when police or military are involved.
Especially if their life insurance specifies no payout for suicide…
AFAIK, Some companies will pay out, some won't. Some states, like MO for instance, don't allow for the specific exclusion of suicide on a policy. Most states have a 1 or 2 year window of non-contestability – so one should wait a year or two after you buy insurance before offing yourself. And you can't be planning to do it when you buy the insurance either, that'd be like knowingly not disclosing that you have cancer – grounds for denial of the claim. Of course proving state of mind is always difficult….
Ahhhhh… Thanks…
I have heard that several times over the past few decades.
Yes, this is absolutely correct. Even the most incompetant gun owners generally don't point the gun at their head when "cleaning" it.
A LEO friend of mine said most "accidental shootings" are suicides — person was alone when it happened, shot to the head, no cleaning supplies/tools around, etc. But also no suicide note and the distraught family says the victim wasn't suicidal. What is he supposed to do? Easiest thing for everyone is to say it was an accident.
I was taught the 4 rules at an early age, 6 or 7 years old. I have handled firearms on nearly a daily basis since. I have never had a negligent discharge I treat every single weapon as if it were loaded. There is honestly no excuse for an ND. You make the decision to handle the weapon, you take full responsibility for anything that happens afterward. Period. If you choose to take that responsibility without taking proper precautions, you are just too irresponsible to continue stealing oxygen.
Also if you do drop a loaded gun don't try and catch it. Also for us hunters open the action or unload the gun before you jump the barbed wire fence. Re learned that lesson today when the shotgun slid over and I had a 20ga pointed directly at my balls…
Yeah, well, I have issues here. If you treat every gun as loaded, you could never clean it, walk up or down an open stairway with people below, never carry in a horizontal shoulder holster, never appendix carry, etc.. As any handgun safety mechanism could fail, it could "go off" within the holster.
This seems like a 9mm vs .45ACP subject to me. But what do I know.
Yes, I have had 2 NDs in my life. No personal injuries, minimal property damage.
I prefer:
Trigger finger off the trigger
Every gun is loaded unless YOU check it. Again. *
Muzzle in an appropriate direction.
Be aware of your target and what's beyond.
* I store most of my guns unloaded and I am the only one with access. I STILL check a gun when I remove it from its pouch. It only takes 2 seconds.
I show my son by example and on the drive to and from the range we repeat the "4 rules" several times.
He is probably more tuned to gun safety than most adults.
The author fails to include two practical IMPORTANT items.
1) If you carry. Take your holster off and leave the gun in it. Eliminate the need for administrative drawing and reholstering. Take your holster off at night. Put it back on in the morning. Leave the gun in the holster.
2) If you begin to drop the gun, STOP. Every time I hear of a gun like a Glock, M&P or XD going off because the user dropped it, I know exactly what happened. The user grabbed at the falling gun and depressed the trigger. Its virtually impossible for these guns to go off if dropped. So if the gun slips, LET IT GO. Your ego might be bruised, the gun may get dinged. But nobody will get shot.
Thats what she said.
super blackhawk, hi- power, deagle, p938, mkll, single action all. fell into the cz camp a couple years ago. i'll just say that after admiring that pistol many times, the double action pull was shorter than i remembered. i knew damn well it was loaded. hearing loss, wall hole, etc.
stupid games, just reward.
Firstly, aside from being bogus, this is not a good tip: "Another good tip is to invest in a quality concealed carry holster that completely covers the trigger guard."
Carrying a modern revolver for with the trigger guard and trigger and hammer and most everything else exposed is much much safer than any semi-auto. This gun cannot fire without the hammer being at full cock AND the trigger pressed completely and continuously.
Secondly: This foolish statement "One should avoid pocket carry if possible" does not in any way apply to the millions and millions of wise folks that carry snub-nosed revolvers 100% safely in their pockets.
Thirdly, what the hell does this mean: "Secondly, by taking pains to ensure nothing can get in the trigger guard except for the gun." ?
"Thirdly, what the hell does this mean: "Secondly, by taking pains to ensure nothing can get in the trigger guard except for the gun." ?"
There have been instances of people holstering or putting in their pocket a gun and a jacket pull loop, car keys or other pocket crap pulls that trigger…
Is No one Going To mention "Israeli Carry"?
Empty chamber guns cannot Go off
I am ready for all the hate that I'm going to get, but it works for the entire nation of Israel and the American military
The Israelis have stopped plenty of terrorist attacks with a population carrying empty chamber style
Everyone has to make their own decision between safety and readiness for action
I have a gun with me every single day but the chamber is empty
It takes me two seconds longer and takes two hands to get the gun into action, but I accept that for the added safety
With you on Condition 3 carry, thats how my G27 rides IWB with a Clipdraw. Never did trust a chambered Glock bouncing around near my sack. Walking around Walmart that one extra second to rack the slide is no sweat. Now, if were talking about full blown meltdown streets on fire riots, its Condition One G22 in a Serpa, with AK as primary.
I'm a long time instructor and for a long time I have told my students that there is no such thing as an "accidental" discharge. Then in the last few years I decided I wanted to be more decisive about talking about those kinds of situations and began referring to them as "negligent" discharges. The word "negligent" has negative and judgemental overtones so I eventually decided that did not work for me. I now refer to those situations as "unintended" discharges. First because they are, in fact, unintended. But most importantly because I need to ascertain whether they were accidental, for example, a broken part, which caused a failure and therefore the unintended discharge. Secondly, I may determine, on closer examination, that the discharge was the fault of the gun handler and was in fact negligent. The main point is that as undesirable it is to have your gun go off unexpectedly, there can several reasons for it to happen and until we know all the facts we should not label the occurrence.
