The Psychology of Guns: 12 Steps Toward More Safety
The Psychology of Guns: 12 Steps Toward More Safety
It is sexy, it is satisfying, it is manly.
–Stanley McChrystal, retired US Army General, Foreign Affairs1
When insight-oriented psychotherapy stalls, the therapist usually assumes that there are some powerful, often unconscious, forces opposing examination and change. Has there been a parallel process ever since the Martin Luther King, Jr, and Robert Kennedy assassinations prompted gun reform? It is yet unclear whether the overwhelming shock of Newtown (which I focused on in an earlier blog),2 where vulnerable children were killed by yet another mass murderer, will galvanize action not only to prevent future mass murderers, but also to finally reduce the public health and mental health risks of more chronic, common, and routine gun violence in America.
Indeed, normal psychological processes may be partially responsible for this stagnation. It is easier to repress and dissociate individual and collective trauma, and "move on." However, in the long term, as we see in PTSD in individuals, such trauma can continue to haunt us and limit what we can learn from history to prevent similar trauma in the future.
Guns in our history
Historically, guns have been in our nation's collective consciousness. And, by guns, I mean not only handguns, pistols, and rifles, but possibly drones, missiles, torpedoes, and similarly shaped bombs.
At times, the choice of a particular type of gun could have psychological meaning. The Newtown mass murderer chose a .22 caliber rifle to shoot his mother, a student's rifle with which his mother taught him to shoot.
The important role of firearms in the history, founding, and mythology of the United States is well accepted. Early on, that was concretized in the second amendment, though what that meant for future generations has been open to interpretation.
Later, guns were crucial for the "successful" expansion of our Western frontier. This kind of expansion was unprecedented in the world, other than perhaps the northern expansion of the Boers in South Africa.
In the last century, the US went on to become the strongest military power in the world. However, that power and security has been challenged more recently, with a draw in the Korean War, a somewhat humiliating withdrawal from Vietnam, and the missile-like airplane strike of 9/11, justifying to some a still-continuing War on Terrorism to reduce our vulnerability.
The meaning of guns
Concretely, guns are powerful weapons. Although there are certainly other weapons of violence—including hate speech, fists, knives, robbery, and oppression—guns, for better and worse, are the most certain, commonly available mode of killing or maiming others and/or oneself. That, too, must be part of our collective consciousness.
Furthermore, guns can have varying impact on a given individual's consciousness. Advocates of guns for hunting and sport consciously view them as necessary for their pleasurable activities. Others view them as a source of safety and security, which would fulfill one of our most basic psychological needs, as described by the psychologist Abraham Maslow in his proposed hierarchy of psychological needs.
The unconscious meaning of guns may of course vary from individual to individual. Although some view their ideas as anachronistic, Freud and Jung offered some basic interpretations. For instance, in their shape, guns can be an obvious phallic symbol.
Freud emphasized our unconscious sexual and aggressive impulses, which seem readily applicable to guns. In his theory of the mind, the superego puts the brakes on id impulses for the sake of civilization. The superego is believed to be most affected by societal rules and the roles of the father (or father substitute). In the simplest terms, inconsistent rules weaken the superego. It can be further weakened in everyday life, if certain disinhibiting substances are abused. Whenever the rules are in fact to be aggressive and to use guns (as in war), the ego allows the superego to relax.
The hidden meaning of guns seems reflected in our language. Language, such as "top gun," "young gun," and "stick to your guns," seems to glorify guns, and by association, their users. In terms of the mentally ill—whom the NRA blames for gun violence—the worst term may be "go ballistic." "Ballistic" refers both to the science of projectiles and to being irrational.
If we add on, in a Jungian sense, our collective unconscious, guns may be ingrained as an archetype of the heroic (usually male) warrior. This archetype may be reinforced as a model for soldiers, police, and even gang leaders. Unfortunately, sometimes would-be warriors can go astray as the shadow archetype, sort of like the dark force of Darth Vader.
If such Jungian speculation isn't enough, we can go further out on a psychological limb. How do we explain a kind of societal suicidal behavior when we allow ourselves such easy access to the most accessible mechanism to kill? Masochism stemming from unconscious guilt? Unconscious guilt over slavery, Native Americans, and Vietnam atrocities?
The psychological damage of guns
The psychological effects of guns may go well beyond what some would call a normal degree of security, belonging, freedom, self-esteem, and power. It can go well beyond those killed, to the ripple effects on those physically and psychologically injured, or even just threatened, by guns.
There is the grief, normal and abnormal, of the loved ones of those killed by guns. There is the potential PTSD of those not killed, but injured by guns. There is the potential PTSD of those witnessing the violence, so common in public places. Self-medicating for these psychological wounds is common, but has the potential drawback of disinhibiting barely controlled anger. I experienced all of these, often in a prison setting, where below the bravado lay the pain of childhood exposure to violent trauma, often gun-related, especially in African-American males, released in crime and/or substance abuse.
The gun industry
It sure seems like the gun development and advertising industry has taken advantage of these psychological associations, as described in the New York Times article, "The Most Wanted Gun in America."2
The AR-15-style automatic rifle, used in the Newtown school massacre, has become the most popular gun in America. It is a version of the military M-16. By design, it looks and feels like something a gun a commando would carry. For its power and reliability, one ad exclaims, "Forces of opposition, bow down."
After an interesting sales drop following the Vietnam War, the response by gun makers was to advertise the AR-15 for men, and to begin to advertise handguns for women. More recently, the ease in customizing guns to one's own psychology, including a "southpaw's dream" for left-handers like me, made them a sort of "Legos for guys." Fashionable colors, like pink, increased the popularity of guns for women. The meaning of subliminal messages that might be encoded in ads, perhaps like the phallic images in cigarette ads, needs more scrutiny.
Guns in the media
The successful advertising for guns has been supplemented by the game industry, television, comic books, and movies. Research is inconclusive as to whether increasing exposure to violence in the media in turn increases real-life aggression, or whether for many, they are a sublimation and displacement that actually reduces real-life aggression. Instead of increased violence, could they instead increase anxiety, a possibility not well researched?
What is clear is that guns portray an image of power, which may be especially attractive to adolescent males, at a time when boys are falling more behind girls in school, and more women take jobs previously dominated by males (including now the right to serve in combat).
Guns in my family
Now I can't tell you whether there are any guns in our house. However, it always seemed to me—and research has come to support this conclusion—that any possible defensive use of guns by someone not expert in their use, has a greater chance to backfire, so to speak. Then again, we've generally lived in safe areas. Being isolated from gun violence is a blessing in one sense, but allows less concern for the problem.
I did, though, learn to shoot a gun, sort of, in the orientation we new physicians had in the army many years ago. What an unsettling experience! Doctors devoted to saving lives trying to hit a target with a bullet. We were told that someday we may need to use them to save a life, even our own.
While I struggled to write this blog, accompanied by Barber's "Adagio for Strings," I went into the kitchen for a change of scenery, where my visiting grandson was playing with an old, long Nintendo gun in a kind of hunting game. He asked, "Hey-hey (the name he gave me), are you writing a blog on guns?" Now, I'm no longer easily surprised by what my grandchildren know about me—but how did he know this?
I also wondered, was this game appropriate for our 10-year-old grandson, who coincidentally was just starting to become interested in girls? My wife reminded me that our son used this same game, and he became a rabbi. I was freed to continue writing.
What psychiatrists can do
As citizens, we can fully participate in the debates about how to address gun control and safety. It would be interesting to conduct an anonymous poll to see what mental health professionals believe as far as prospective changes and whether we have our own guns, and why? For physicians, who are devoted to preserving life and promoting the best health possible, advocating against any unnecessary guns for self-defense seems ethically self-evident. AR-15s would seem to be way more than necessary for any personal self-defense situation.
Beyond that, our particular psychological expertise can be applied in ways, including these bullet points:
(1) Educate the public about the psychology of guns, even as speculative as some of it may be
(2) Investigate further the psychology of guns
(3) Educate the public that, although we are not particularly skilled at predicting homicide or suicide, we are much better at treating the mental health conditions that, if left untreated, might lead to a certain small percentage of fatal gun violence
(4) Case find, whether in schools or emergency rooms, those who have been injured or exposed to gun violence, for they will be more prone to later PTSD and/or risky self-medicating
(5) Support preventive services that teach children nonviolent ways to handle frustration and anger
(6) Advocate for improved mental health resources, particularly for child, adolescent, and family therapy, as well as other services that will help maintain a healthy nuclear family
(7) Follow-up on the mental healthcare needs of known bullies and victims of bullying
(8) Clinically, be sure to promote safety as part of the evaluation template, including whether guns are at home and for what overt (and covert) purpose
(9) Appreciate the appropriate use of psychopharmacology for symptoms of undue aggression, such as propranolol, and avoid prescribing disinhibiting medication, such as benzodiazepines
(10) Hospitalize, when necessary. Hospitalization needs to be available for long enough to reduce significantly any suicide and/or homicide risk
(11) Remind politicians that improved gun control and safety will dramatically reduce successful suicide attempts, as well as reduce violence commonly perpetrated against the mentally ill
(12) To the extent that our professional tradition has been based on the therapeutic use of words and language, apply that skill to gun-associated language
Ultimately, it may take women, who are increasingly buying guns and now have the right to fight in military combat, to break up this male-dominated gridlock. A model for this might be Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), which addresses another societal problem of some similarity to gun violence. Here, mothers seemed to adapt cognitive behavioral therapeutic principles to change the culture of driving while intoxicated. Is now the time, then, for WAGG—Women Against Gun Glorification?

Dr. Moffic's interesting blog and the ensuing dialogue suggest that there are no quick or simple solutions to the scourge of gun-related violence in the U.S., and that well-intentioned legislative "solutions"must be carefully considered. But such difficulties should not deter us from taking appropriate action, as psychiatric physicians
and advocates for the public health.
For example, while psychiatrists are not "gunologists", as Dr. Moffic acknowledges, we are--or ought to be--suicidologists. It must be emphasized that, for all the media focus on gun-related homicides and mass shootings, about 60% of adult gun-related deaths in the U.S. are suicides (1). Many of these--perhaps most--are impulsive acts of desperation. While some gun-related suicides are probably not preventable, many would be, if we could reduce rapid access to guns and improve gun "safeguards", such as the use of trigger locks.
And as psychiatrists, we must firmly reject the much-ballyhooed myth that, "A suicidal person will always find a way to kill himself." This claim has been discredited in several studies finding that the "substitution hypothesis" is not borne out. To be sure, a certain percentage of unalterably self-destructive persons will ultimately find a means of suicide, with our without guns--but many transiently suicidal individuals will survive, if they can be kept away from instant access to firearms and directed to appropriate care. And many other means of attempted suicide, such as drug overdose, are far less lethal (and more readily "reversible") than use of firearms. Surely, this point must be of the utmost concern to psychiatrists. I strongly recommend reading Elizabeth Rosenthal's piece in the NY Times on this topic:
In addition, there are positive changes on a cultural and societal level to which psychiatrists may contribute. For example, part of violence prevention involves improved consultation between psychiatrists and school health personnel, such as school nurses and psychologists (2). Another element of reducing violence involves
teaching our children better ways of dealing with bullying, and the resultant "narcissistic rage" that it incites in some highly susceptible children.(3)
Above all, we must avoid the easy dodge of arguing that nothing can be done about gun-related violence in this country. True, we may not see dramatic changes in five, ten or even twenty years. But if we don't begin the effort now, we will never see progress. As Rabbi Hillel put it, "If not now, when?"

Just to address the criticism that the blog avoided discussion of family pathology, that was covered in Recommendation #6: "Advocate for improved mental health resources, particularly for child, adolescent, and family therapy, as well as other services that will help maintain a healthy nuclear family".
The problem with these idealistic approaches is the problem of low base rates. Dr. Paul Applebaum testified recently to the Biden committee why mental health intervention is not going to matter in reducing gun violence and spoke realistically about the problem:
"However, as is clear from the statistics cited earlier, people with mental illness account for approximately 4% of violence in the U.S. Thus, focusing on this group is not likely to be a highly effective strategy, and runs the risk of reinforcing the stigmatizing association in public perceptions between mental illness and violence."
When so few people are involved with rare, but highly publicized events, broad increases in funding and access will not matter. They would if 50% of the mentally ill were dangerous.
Similarly, very few law abiding gun owners are violent, and most are knowledgable. And I think they realize the connection between anger and violence. Therefore, educational efforts are likely not to make any difference.
This is essentially the same practical problem with expensive preventative screening efforts for rare diseases.
Let's remember that the last three major mass/spree murders were committed by people who did have mental health contact at one point in time. Lanza was being considered for hospitalization, Holmes was treated by a psychiatrist who had particular expertise in violence, and Dorner was presumably screened for psychological fitness when he applied to the LAPD. Let's not overpromise especially when the track record of mental health identification of dangerousness has not been that reliable.
The AR-15 is a semiautomatic not an automatic weapon. The NYT to its credit did not make this mistake. The also referred to it as "wanted"which was clearly a double entendre meaning both loved by enthusiasts and despised by control advocates. They did not mean "most popular". The AR-15 is not the most popular gun in America, as semiautomatic handguns far outsell it.
I think before we designate ourselves teachers of the ignorant rubes, and spend a lot of money doing something likely to be ineffective (but make us feel better about ourselves) we should learn basic terminology first. It would be nice if self-appointed experts understood the difference between an automatic (effectively illegal since 1934) and a semiautomatic, and that the term "assault weapon" refers to cosmetic additions such as a bayonet and has nothing to do with the power of ammunition.
You need not worry about boys younger than 10 playing with toy guns or swords or lightsabers. This is normal behavior and has been for generations. At least it will be until DSM-6 comes out.
Still looking for archangel politicians to save the country from itself? Ask the New York psychotherapy community how that worked out for them with the latest after-midnight travesty from Albany.
Sorry about the apparently wrong terminology about the kinds of guns, but I'm not a gunologist. I'm a psychiatrist and the thrust of the blog was to try to understand the underlying psychology.
I had also learned something, I thought, from Dr. O'Brien's comments on my last blog on mass murders; hence, the emphasis here on developing healthy families with a father.
I agree the behavior of my grandson and that of other boys 10 or younger that you mention would be "normal", including video games.
I haven't heard anything from psychotherapists from New York. If there are readers from there, please comment, or perhaps Dr. O'brien can find them to comment. I would indeed like to hear of their experiences to learn from them.
If I've missed the mark here, what can be done, if anything, to reduce gun violence in America?
These are pretty basic facts that could be easily fact checked and do not require expertise.
As far as the reaction in NY, this is pretty representative:
I do not think anything short term will reduce gun violence in America, to be honest with you. In my mind, that means it's better to do nothing that trust politicians, who will screw it up as they did in New York.
And philosophically, I just hate anything that reeks of the therapeutic state. In the meantime, we should be very careful running to politicians, because they will use our purported expertise in violence prediction (which we actually do not possess) against us.
Michael Bloomberg will not be calling me for advice anything soon, even though he needs it.
It's a lot broader and more nonspecific than Tarasoff. Please read Tarasoff and the NY law again and you will see the difference.
Actually sometimes the answer is to do nothing if there is no proof that any proposed idea has any empirical merit. These ideas are nebulous pleas for money and "education"which is really anti-gun propaganda (and yes. it's not to much to ask the self-annointed to know the basic facts before talking down to the slack-jawed yokels).
I don't know of any cure for advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Does that mean we should try laetrile or blood letting because we "have to do something"? What happened to "first do no harm"?
Now that you've switched the subject to suicide, I do agree with your major point. Yes, suicide would be less frequent if all guns were banned. But the only reason to support that as policy is if you believe in the therapeutic state over individual rights, and psychiatrists have every reason to be skeptical of that position (i.e. Soviet psychiatry). If you want to make the argument that public safety trumps freedom, we could have a speed limit of 20 mph for everything except ambulances, fire trucks and police cars and save 50 thousand lives a year.
In the end psychiatrists in the few hours we have with patients can actually do very little in the face of the destruction of the family, which few anti-gun people wish to talk about and this author seems to want to scrupulously avoid. For example, he studiously avoids any discussion of the obvious family pathology between murderer and mother, and any value judgments that stem from that.
Using these tragedies as an excuse to raise money, beg for political action and overpromise what psychiatry can do is unseemly to me. Look how it horribly backfired in New York. And it's also empirically wrong to champion gun control as a cure-all when it has failed so miserably in cities such as Chicago.
A reference for all readers of this blog. There is an excellent article on addressing gun violence risk in today's New York Time, "Focusing on Violence Before It Happens", with examples from Los Angeles where a county mental health program intervened - presumably successfully - in students of suspected high risk.
New reports indicate Holmes' psychiatrist told campus police about his dangerousness and they did nothing. She also declined to have him civilly committed. Mind you, this was a psychiatrist who claimed a particular interest in and expertise in treating the dangerous mentally ill.
So everything was in place for him to be identified, detained and disarmed and it didn't happen. In the hands of a psychiatrist probably more qualified than most.
You could in theory prevent breast cancer by screening mammograms of women down to the age of eighteen. Why isn't this done?
In reality you will lose more lives in traffic driving to the appointments to screen the mentally ill than correctly identifying those who will kill in advance. Remember we aren't very good at predicting dangerousness.
There will be thousands of false positives simply because the therapist simply doesn't like the patient. Psychiatrists can be venal like everyone else. The therapeutic state is always a good opportunity to act out countertransference to the detriment of all involved.

Special section
This special section explores cross-border dynamics for ethnic minorities on the margins of the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS). Our aim is to make a significant contribution to the understanding of the GMS and regionalization more broadly. We are among the first researchers allowed to do fieldwork in borderlands that governments until recently deemed 'sensitive' and out-of-bounds. Our contributions bring to light the variability of conditions for minorities, complicating understandings of 'peripheries' and 'centres', as well as the notion of a singular 'region'.

Ready for any tough job, this 7 1/4" Circular Saw brings the power of a 14 amp, 5,000 rpm motor to the site.

A wide, flat-ground aluminum shoe gives this Craftsman more stability than other Circular Saws while the easy to grasp bevel adjustment locks in angles up to 54-1/2 degrees for clean, tight fitting joints. For added workshop and jobsite safety, a Live Tool indicator glows whenever this saw is plugged in, not the only notable light, this saw features the illumination of a bright LED that makes even the faintest pencil mark clear even in dark working conditions. Ergonomically designed and built for job after job of solid service, this circular saw helps you get it done for years. Toss it in your tool kit and get to work.

My 30 year old Craftsman circular saw finally bit the dust so had to shop for a new one. This saw is light weight yet sturdy. I have not found the laser useful yet, but the led work light is great and the cutting guides on the footplate are true and clear. Depth gauge is easy to operate and read.

I first bought a Craftsman circular saw when I bought my first house over 30 years ago. It served me well but age finally got to it. Sad to see it go but the new one has features that has made it much easier to get the jobs done. It has plenty of power, comfortable to handle and the laser light makes it much easier to cut a straight line.

Sufficient power as well as handy features including a laser line for straight cutting and a built in light to eliminate shadows make this saw worth every penny.

I used this saw perhaps 5-6 times and the motor locked up. Unfortunately it was out of warranty. Sears parts/repair wanted $78 + parts cost to repair. What a deal!

We just got back from an MTV shoot. It was a great learning experience. It was fun working out at California City Studios, a huge film lot with multiple sets in the Mojave desert. It's always a blast working with Gail and Russell, (the owners of California City Studios) they are always so accommodating.
We had a good time, and it was a long four day shoot. It started in Mojave AeroSpace port and ended in Santa Clarita. The show we worked on will be out soon and i will post more pics once the episode it is out. Until then, here is a picture of me sitting on 1300 boxes that were used for a "stunt".

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - New York's Senate where Republicans hold strong sway has approved what supporters say will be the toughest gun laws in the nation.
Sen. Jeffrey Klein, who sponsored the law with bipartisan support, praised his co-leader, Senate Republican leader Dean Skelos and the Democratic conference.
Senate Republicans have opposed similar measures in past years when they solely controlled the Senate.
Klein says the bill isn't about taking the rights away from any legal gun owner.
The bill targets assault rifles, high-capacity clips of ammunition and requires reports of the mentally ill who pose a threat to others with illegal guns.
The vote passed 43-18 in the Senate thanks to a strong Democratic vote.
The Democrat-led Assembly is expected to easily pass the measure.

Francesca Pavillard-Cain: World Traveler, Business & Spanish Double Major
Up one level
Spending almost her entire life in ski-towns from Steamboat Springs, CO to Leysin,Switzerland, Francesca Pavillard-Cain knew Western State Colorado University was for her. "There's not one person here that fits the mold. That's the beautiful part of it." Francesca spent her early childhood in the Gunnison & Crested Butte area before living briefly in Switzerland. At age 10, she lived in Ecuador and attended a Spanish-speaking school for a year. After graduating high school in Steamboat Springs, CO in 2009, Francesca was looking for a school to better her education and skiing abilities. She found that opportunity at WSCU. Francesca is now double majoring in Business and Spanish, with an emphasis in the Resort Management Program. She is also President of WSCU's Mountain Sports Team Ski Program. The team is a competitive program that competes in collegiate skiing and mountain biking. "WSCU has allowed me to play big role in the organizational part of skiing, while taking charge of my academics." Since joining the team, Francesca has won the following titles: -Freeskiing World Tour, Crested Butte, Fifth Place (2010-2011) -Freeskiing World Tour, Snowbird UT, North Face Young Gun Award (2011-2012) -Freeskiing World Tour, Moonlight MT, Eighth place (2011-2012) She enjoys the small community feel and personal relationships she has created with fellow students and professors. "I have to worry about being late to a class that's across the sidewalk because I see so many friends including instructors, and I really like that." Francesca has been taking advantage of the many opportunities available through WSCU, including spending a semester abroad in fall 2011. She summed up the reason for her adventurous lifestyle with, ""Try different things, surprise yourself, and surprise others." She will also be traveling soon to China in May, 2013 and is on track to graduate in 2014. To learn more about Western State Colorado University's business offerings, click here.

Even at 200 miles squared per tile that is a little on the mean side. I hope spy planes are still in, they should be invaluable under this new air system for pre-bombing target recon and damage assessment. With air superiority over the target as well, air power in Civ 3 could rock.
Now all they need to add is close ground support, and we'll be set for modern warfare.

I have my Mint Update set to default, but I took a look out of curiosity at the level 4 stuff. XORG stuff popped up.
From the description of level 4 updates and, my god, level five updates, I'm scared to touch them. However, I like to live on the edge and I know XORG is important.

France, also suffered a stinging military setback recently when the Islamists destroyed France´s white flag factory.
He´s just getting started Number 2.
For sale: French army rifle. Never fired, dropped once.
Their "up to date" weaponry most likey was funded by the US. Lucky the BBC loves Barach the Second Coming of Saddam Hussein and will protect him.
France will regroup and go back into the fight and prevail. Probably they thought they could do this quickly and cheaply (where have WE heard that, before?).Get Jean-Claude VanDamme in there. Australia has their Crocodile Dundee, we have our Chuck Norris and R Lee Ermy. This will take some time, there will be set backs. Where is Italy in this? Italy gets their oil from nearby Libya, they should get involved, too.
France just noticed that Mali was over run with jihadists dispersed from Libya?
#7...the real boots on the ground do not look like some 5´7" movie actor, since they are Nigerians and make up 95% of the 3,300 troops than began deploying Friday...click on the original article in thread posted yesterday to see what they look like.... http://www.lucianne.com/thread/?artnum=718746
Did France get UN approval before doing this in Mali?
The jihadists all over the region are well trained and equipped. They´ve been taught tactics. Even the bedouins in the Sinai used advanced military tactics when attacking a peace keeping outpost last September.
FOR SALEFrench army rifle. Never fired, dropped once.
Apologies to #5 - - you beat me to it!!!
I imagine they will fight the same way they did in WW2...with their women, on their backs.
France is surprised by anybody´s fighting strength. Charles Martel must have been a genetic aberration.

Comments about AIRHEAD AHVI-F3 Viper Towable:
i used the tube 3-4 times and it developed a leak. airhead said they would not cover this so i had to buy a new outer inflatable compartment for 100+ dollars and that one leaked in the same place the first one did, right at the seams on the bottom. i called them and they could have cared less. it has a manufacturing defect. Now the covering has split in the back and i have to replace the whole think but i will not but airhead again.

Officials with the Lee County Jail say the jail is almost to full capacity.
LEE COUNTY, GA -- Officials with the Lee County Jail say their facility is almost to full capacity.
At this time, the jail is occupied with 104 inmates, which is just eight inmates shy of becoming full.
Lee County Sheriff Reggie Rachals says, "the reason why we see so many people come through our doors is drugs. People are stealing from local residents, selling the stolen property then using that money to buy drugs."
Sheriff Rachals adds that during the summer months is when the jail normally hits its maximum.

Hi Community,
as i'm working on a fully (well, at least as much as ever possible) functional cockpit, i'm actually creating a lot of instruments and gauges for cockpits.
Some might plane-specific but a lot probably could be used in other planes aswell.
So i plan to make these instruments freely accessible to anyone who's interested. Wherever possible, gauges can be fully animated. Let me show you an example:
Animations are prepared (selections and axis present) for the following components:
- needle
- altimeter numbered wheels (100, 1000 and 10000 scale)
- PNEU or ELECT indicator (yellow field with text)
- PNEU or ELECT selector (bottom right)
- barometric setting wheels (0000 can be set to actual QNH setting)
Not all anims have to be used, in fact, once i release them, you do with whatever you want. I state them as open source, which means you may use them without need to ask (else i wouldn't have to release them), you may rework them to fit your needs without asking for permission. You have to make them available, if not by default at least on request (only the gauges based on these, not the rest of your plane of course).
What will be in the package?
- Model (p3d)
- Texture (pac)
- readme with anim instructions
What will not be in there?
- model.cfg
- .rvmat files
- normal and specular map, create them yourself so they'll fit with the visual style of your plane.

Way better in person
I didn't initially think much of this dress, and while I was in the store, a sales associate recommended it to me. I tried it on just to appease her. Much to my surprise, I fell in love immediately! The cut could not be more perfect, and it hugs in all the right places. On sale it's an even greater deal. If you are between sizes, go down to the smaller size. I feel super sexy in this dress!
September 29, 2012
Must Have!!!!
I just got this dress in the mail today and OMG! this is the best peplum style outfit in my closet right now! its so figure flattering and the fitting is to die for.
September 26, 2012
This dress is TRUE TO SIZE I wear XS and XS fits like a glove.
Only problem like the others have been complaining is the zipper getting stuck at mid waist. But other than that great dress to have for the winter to wear with some nice pumps.
Totally Recommend!!!
September 10, 2012
Fun & Flirty Dress
I initially saw this dress online and thought it was cute but wasn't sure how the peplum would look on me as I'd never tried that style before. (I'm pretty curvy and have a bottom that can look pretty large in some styles.) I tried it on in the store and immediately fell in love! This is one of my favorite dresses right now! This dress is totally on trend - peplum, cobalt blue with leather trim. Perfection.
The only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars in "fit" is that the XS fit like a glove but I felt the bottom was a little too tight to be work appropriate. I went up to a S and the dress still looked great - just not quite as sexy. I gave it a 4 in quality for the same reason as many of the other reviews - the back zipper gets stuck really bad every time it goes up and down the little leather strip at the waist. Annoying.
Other than those 2 little things, this is an amazing dress and I would highly recommend it!
September 7, 2012
Interesting sizing
This dress is hot! The only complaint I have is with the sizing. It runs small, medium, large instead of numbered sizes. The medium fit perfectly from the waist up but the skirt is a bit big, which is awkward because I would prefer more of a pencil fit under the peplum. Didn't detract me from buying it though!! Very pretty.
September 2, 2012
LOVE this dress!
This dress has now become one of my favorite in my wardrobe. It fits perfectly and looks so classy. It looks so good with black pumps. I highly recommend this dress and know you will love it as much as I do!
August 30, 2012
Mad Men Hottie
Put the dress on this morning and my husband's comment was, "Hot, you look like Christina H. from Mad Men!" The fit is very flattering. I have a slit tummy from having my son 5 months ago and the skirt disguised that very nicely. I am also very, very busty and the top fits great due to the stretchy nature of the fabric. I generally cannot wear fitted/seamed dresses because they are normally cut way too tight if the bottom fits me. My normal size skirt is a 6 at the Limited and the Medium was perfect for by 34G frame. Fabric quality is not the best but at 40% off all is forgiven.
August 16, 2012
my daughter got it @ the store in black & an associate put it with a different belt & she has leopard shoes she's wearing with it. so cute!!

I just updated to UC 22.214.171.1247 on my windows 7 Pro machine this morning, and I'm suddenly seeing random "Out of virtual memory! This comparison will be aborted" messages. Sometimes it will work uneventfully, a lot it won't. I've tried it going directly into the program from the start menu as well as a right click and loading the files that way, doesn't seem to matter.
I've been using UC and UE for many years now, and this is a new error message. I don't get it with any other programs at all on this machine, so I'm inclined to believe it is a result of this upgrade.
Anyone else seeing this or have a fix?

6/06/2003: North Korea: Expose abuses |
Contact: WASHINGTON - In testimony to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Subcommittee on East Asian and Pacific Affairs, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) urged the U.S. government to launch a major international initiative to expose and raise awareness of human rights abuses and humanitarian conditions in North Korea, including expanded U.S. government reporting, congressional engagement, and multilateral diplomacy. The USCIRF also called on Congress to expand its funding for organizations advocating the protection of human rights in North Korea and activities that raise the awareness of human rights conditions in that country.
The Commission made the following additional recommendations:

I recall the suicide note was a forgery.
has anyone ever talked to Mrs. Foster since the Clintons got out of office ? We all know Vice was Fosterized ~ we just need someone with the testosterone to prove it.
This sounds like an episode of Scandal. If you haven´t watched this series, I highly recommend it. It shows just how much cover up goes on in Washington. Excellent show. I think tomorrow is the last episode of this season, but you can catch the entire series on Comcast On Demand. Last week the story centered on Voting machines that were tampered with to get a win for the current president. How timely!
The morality of the American left is now to the point that if it were proved Hillary choked Foster to death with her own hands, she wold still be the Democrat nominee in 2016.
#3...I like the show...have to smile whenever I see the star though..according to some sources she is the one Mooch was telling The idiot to stay away from when he had a fundraiser.
A trail of blood flowed upwards from his nose to above his ear. The man who found his body said there was no gun, but after he left to notify police, a gun appeared in Foster's hand. It was July 20, 1993. Before the days of cell phones w/cameras.
[ BJ, upon hearing news of the book ]:"Why can´t this guy stay dead?"
Interesting quote at the end of the article by the President who was sneaking women into the WH every weekend and who allegedly was involved in a huge cover-up (with his brother) of a very famous movie star´s suicide.
Wow! Very interesting interview with the man who discovered Foster´s body.
I wonder if Mark Fuhrman is available?
I haven´t the slightest trouble believing it was a suicide.After he killed himself, Foster realized that the gun had flown from his hand - - so he went back and picked it up before lying down again.This is perfectly normal and reasonable behavior for a suicide victim.Sheesh! Let´s stop with the crazy conspiracy theories.
Dont forget, in his state of mind he remembered to wipe his shoes clean. Carpet fibers were found on him.. I am sure he wasnt rolling on the carpet, then said .." i think today is Fort Marcy suicide day"
Who´ll be first to say, "Old news, move on"?
You, #13. ;-D
#13, It isn´t "old news" if the woman involved is running for prtesident in 2016!
Whatever happened to Webb Hubbell? He seems to have fallen into the woodwork.
#16, you mean Chelsea´s dad?Where´d she get those hips, those lips?From daddy DNA, no doubt.That be the Webbster himself.True story here - asked a friend for "Clinton jokes" years ago...and he said...After high school (where we knew each other) his family moved to Arkansas, around 1975.His dad played golf with BillyBob´s urologist there in Little Rock.The urologist/golf buddy said that the notorious BillyBob (known for rudely hitting on chicks all the time) was actually shooting blanks.BillyBob, according to this account, was Steer-ile. No bull.I´d always figgered Webb be the dad of Chelsea anyway. Looks give it away.Webb quote - "I guess I´ll have to roll over for Hillary one more time."Also as reported by Arkansas State Troopers who overheard the screaming matches twixt Hillary and BillyBob...Hillary´s greatest quote ever... was..."I need to be f***ed more than once a year!!!"Ya wonder whether BillyBob ever took her up on that. Most of us would not.Reportedly Vince Foster was Hillary´s main date for safe sex in Little Rock whilst BillyBob sowed more wild oats (blanks).They (V-H) were seen on dates together numerous times in Arkansas. Restaurants, bars, etc.Vince had his arm around Hillary like a date whilst walking down the street with others. Plenty of witnesses.Yewww be da judge a dat.
Go here: http://prorev.com/legacy.htmand read down towards the end for some Arkanside details.
I just googled Webb Hubbell´s mug shot.Holy Moley. Chelsea looks more like Mr. Hubbell than she does Bubba.A friend of mine who served on the Clinton Presidential detail - for only two years - said that Hillary and the former Mr. Foster had an affair. Moreover, he also stated Mr. Foster didn´t die in Fort Macy Park, and the cause of death wasn´t suicide.
We can ask all the pertinent questions we can think of, but if the Beltway denizens quash requests or refuse to answer or even lie, we are still at square one.
#14: Well, I meant Lefty water-carriers, but I guess I get the nod in the singles event.#15: That "running" is, of course, metaphorical. But ugh -- Hillary? Michelle? They´re pulling some crop together.
What ever happened to Christopher Ruddy, the reporter who really dug into the story? For a while, he was listed on Drudge along with all the others contributing to the Drudge Report.Just looked him up, and he went on to bigger things, but his coverage of Foster, and also Ron Brown, was one of the most complete investigations I have read.
Anybody seen Axelrod recently? Me neither. Sounds like a little opposition research media direction.
As long as the ongoing Marxist Ministry of Truth is in control of the print and television media, nothing - that´s NOTHING - will be learned about Foster´s murder, Fast and Furious, Benghazi, you name it. Fascist control of the media began with Walter Cronkite and continues with his spawn.Sometimes I think that the Mayan solution is the only way out, for everyone.
I wonder how many others were murdered at the direction of the Clinton WH.
Lots, reportedly, while they were still in Arkansas, and since nearly everyone who was a witness to the Clinton´s behavior and ethics died--most often violently. Look it up.
