Variego's work published by the University of Rome
Valley City State University Assistant Professor Dr. Jorge Variego's research on the intersections between music and architecture was published by the University of Rome, in Italy. The material is the result of collaboration between the department of Architecture of the University and the Conservatorio de Santa Cecilia. The book is available in both electronic and hard copy following this link:
VCSU supports Festival of Trees
The 17th Annual Mercy Hospital Festival of Trees will be held Saturday, November 24 at the Valley City Eagles. The Silent Auction begins at 6:30 with the Live Auction at 8:00. Admission is $15. Decorating has begun to transform the event room into a winter wonderland of lights and glitter.
VCSU employees are offered the opportunity to support this annual event by dropping dollars in the festive boxes located around campus. Donations will be used to purchase VCSU gear for silent auction baskets. Donation boxes are located in the Financial Aid Office, Business Office, SEGS Office, Tech Ed Office, Help Desk, Student Center Information Desk, and Science Department Office.
Held annually, this event supports Mercy Hospital in Valley City and is the only major fundraiser the Hospital is conducting this year. This year there will be seven live and 11 artificial trees, five wreaths, three mantel pieces, and two centerpieces on the live auction. There will also be a large array of silent auction items to bid on, a raffle for a handmade holiday quilt, and a gift basket of items and certificates worth several hundred dollars. The $15 ticket give you a chance at the gift basket - attendance not required. There will also be a beautiful buffet of holiday foods to enjoy.
VCSU employees have been offering a donation to the Festival of Trees since 1999. If you have any questions about this event, contact Rhonda Fairfield at 845-7102.
Thank you

Preferred Play on N.Y. Community Bancorp
New York Community's challenge will be to continue improving its net-interest spread over the coming quarters as well as its earnings. The company consistently posted returns on average assets exceeding 1% through 2005, and returns on equity approaching 20% in 2002 and 2003.
Exchange details
At New York Community Bancorp, each BONUS consists of one trust-preferred share of New York Community Capital Trust V and a warrant to purchase about 2.5 common shares for $50, or about $20 each, at any time before May 7, 2051.
The company has the option of redeeming the warrants if common shares trade at 125% of the conversion price for 20 of the previous 20 trading days.The BONUS units trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "NYB.PRU" and have a par value of $50 and a 6% coupon. New York Community's common shares peaked at $35.57 on March 1, 2004, according to Bloomberg data, but investors holding the BONUS shares weren't allowed to exercise the warrants until Nov. 4, 2007, after which the stock peaked at $22 on Sept. 19, 2008. The exchange offer expires Aug. 25, and the exchange ratio will be set Aug. 21. The ratio will be 2.4953 common shares plus $10 divided by the daily volume-weighted average price of the common shares for the five trading days ending Aug. 21. Based on an average closing price of $11.31 for the five trading sessions through Thursday, the exchange ratio would be 0.8842 plus 2.4953 shares, or 3.3777 common shares for each BONUS unit.

The Benton Police Department will not be filing charges in connection with a reported kidnapping attempt.
"After extensively interviewing the victim, a possible suspect and witnesses, it was determined that no charges were warranted in the case," said Lt. Kevin Russell, Benton Police Department spokesperson.
Ethan Harris, 11, who is famous in Bryant for his fundraising efforts to benefit the Boys & Girls Club of Bryant, is starting a new project Saturday.
Ethan will be collecting new tennis shoes and monetary donations to purchase shoes for members of the Boys & Girls Club of Bryant.
Residents can stop by the Alcoa Exchange near Shoe Carnival to make donations from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday.
Girls shoe sizes 13 through 2 are most needed, said Carla Harris, Ethan's mother.
"It's difficult to pinpoint a specific size when so many children, of all sizes, need them," Harris said.
Candidates are continuing to file for municipal positions to be determined in the November general election.
The recent filing period opened at noon July 25 and closes at noon Aug. 15.
As of mid-morning today, the following individuals have filed as candidates.
The candidates listed here also include those who previously filed for county positions before the preferential primary election, but will be included on the Nov. 4 general election ballot.
•Mayor, Farren Wadley; Corliss Jerry Ball.
•Alderman, Ward 1, Position 1, no filings to date.

SpringSource Spring Framework tutorials and examples. Focusing on Spring 3 and above.
In the previous tip we talked about special beans in Spring. One of the Springs special beans that I had mentioned was using the BeanPostProcessor interface in order to cut into the beans life cycle and review or alter its configuration. In this tip, I will show you how to wire one. As mentioned in the previous tip I mentioned that the BeanPostProcessor provides two methods to alter the bean after it has been created and wired: Java Code: Object postProcessBeforeInitialization(Object bean,
Object postProcessBeforeInitialization(Object bean,
The majority of beans in Spring are configured by the Spring container and made available for use in the application. Apart from these standard beans, Spring also has groups of beans that each serve a special purpose. The way in which Spring identifies these beans is because these beans have implemented certain interfaces that Spring considers special. The use of these interfaces allows these beans to do the following: Post processing bean configuration in order to be involved in the bean
In previous tips, we have shown how to wire beans properties using the <property> element. There is an alternative approach that can be used. Its called autowiring. In this approach, Spring will wire your beans automatically if you set the autowire property on each <bean> on each of the beans that you want to autowire. There are four types of autowiring that Spring uses: byNameSpring will attempt to find a bean in the container whose name (or ID) is the same as the
Similarly to lists, there are times when you will need to map to other types of collections. In this tip, I will outline what you need to do to wire sets, maps and properties. The key to remember is that you want to wire your bean to the same type that is being used in the class definition. So if your bean has a java.util.Set property to guarantee uniqueness in the collection, you want to use the same definition in the xml definition.
So for example, if you want to use a java.util.Set,
Often you will have situations where you will need to wire properties that are lists or arrays. If you are using Hibernate jointly with Spring, you will need to se this in order to provide the list of Hibernate mapping files. In order to do this, you will use the <list> element to wire the property in the wiring XML file for either an array property or a java.util.List property.
For example, when you want to map Hibernate mapping files, you will wire a LocalSessionFactoryBean
Rather than configure beans separately and allow for Springs DI container to manage the injection of these beans into other beans, another means of wiring bean references is to embed a <bean> element directly in the <property> element. For example, the carDao property of the carService bean can be wired as follows: Java Code: <bean id="carService" class="com.acme.springexample.service.CarServiceImpl">
<property name="carDao">
<bean id="carService" class="com.acme.springexample.service.CarServiceImpl">

When you configure a new Spring beanBy default, all Spring beans are singletons. When the container dispenses a bean, it will always give the exact same instance of the bean. But sometimes you want the application context to return a unique instance for each time you request a specific bean. In this case, you would want to do is to define a prototype bean. When you define a prototype means that you define a blueprint of the bean. Every subsequent bean for this requested bean will be based on this
In this tip, we will look at the lifecycle of a bean. The bean lifecycle for a Spring bean is somewhat complex. It is important to understand the life cycle of a Spring bean. Otherwise it will be difficult for you as a programmer to use Spring to its full abilities especially because you may want to take advantage of some of the opportunities that Spring offers to customize how a bean is created. The startup life cycle of a typical bean as it is loaded into a BeanFactory container is shown:
When you are looking to create the web front-end to your application, anyone with exposure to design patterns would apply the MVC pattern for this aspect of the application. There are a number of ways to do this, in Spring Framework, the means of accomplishing this is via an application controller and page controllers combined with a gateway servlet. This design resolves three important concerns of request processing: Request interceptionInvoking business components from page controllersResolving
During the application life cycle, the ApplicationContext will publish a handful of events that tell interested listeners whats going on. All of these events are all subclasses of the abstract class org.springframework.context.ApplicationEvent. A couple of these subclasses are: ContextClosedEventPublished when the application context is closedContextRefreshedEventPublished when the application context is initialized or refreshedRequestHandledEventPublished within a web application
BeanFactory serves as the core to Spring's Dependency Injection implementation. A BeanFactory is responsible for managing components and their dependencies. Bean is the term used in Spring to refer to any component managed by the container. Typically all Spring beans adhere, at some level, to the JavaBeans specification, although it is not required. The most obvious case of Spring deviating from the JavaBean specification is with the use of Constructor Injection to wire your beans together.
At its core, Inversion of Control (IoC), and therefore Dependency Injection (DI) offers a mechanism for provisioning component dependencies and managing these dependencies throughout their lifecycles. A component that requires certain dependencies is often referred to as the dependent object or, in the case of IoC, the target. Generally, IoC can be broken down into two subtypes: Dependency Injection and Dependency Lookup. With Dependency Lookup IoC, a component must obtain a reference to a dependency.
In order to take advantage of the full power of the Spring framework, you need to use Springs most advanced container, the application context. The ApplicationContext is similar to a BeanFactory. Both load bean definitions, wire beans together, and dispense beans upon request. But an ApplicationContext also does the following: Application contexts provide a generic way to load other resources, such as images.Application contexts can publish events to beans that are registered as listeners.Application

As we had mentioned in a previous tip, Inversion of Control (IoC) can be divided into two subtypes. There is Dependency Lookup which has two types, Contextualized Dependency Lookup and Dependency Pull); and Dependency Injection which also has two types, Constructor Injection and Setter Injection. In this tip we will look at Constructor Dependency Injection. Constructor Dependency Injection is Dependency Injection where a component's dependencies are provided to it in its constructor(s). The component
Updated 11-30-2011 at 12:43 PM by Spring Framework
An object is created in the Spring IOC container by invoking the zero-argument constructor. In this Setter Dependency Injection, the IoC container injects a component's dependencies into the component via JavaBean-style setter methods. A component's setters expose the set of the dependencies the IoC container can manage The dependent object is then passed as a parameter to the setter method. The CarService object needs data access objects (DAO) to execute data- base operations. The data access

Dependency Injection
In early tips, we discussed the issues around creating and initializing objects and its variables. Fortunately there is a way of addressing this situation in Spring that is a wonderful design pattern that they have applied to address this aspect. It is a combination of Inversion of Control and Dependency Injection. Many developers mistakenly believe that IOC and DI are the same thing. It is incorrect. IOC deals with inverting the control flow in an application, DI describes

Cedar Fair's CEO Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
While we believe our unit holders appreciate performance updates throughout our operating season, it is important to remember that such abbreviated snapshots cannot be readily extrapolated to the full year. History has shown us that extreme weather conditions typically average out over the course of the full operating season and as we have seen a return to more normal weather patterns over the past couple of weeks we have seen attendance begin to normalize as well.
While this year's attendance through August 5th is essentially flat compared with the record attendance of the prior year, our new initiatives have allowed us to drive strong guest per capita spending levels and to grow our revenues. We remain positive that we are on track to meet our guidance of full year to net revenues between $1.055 billion and $1.075 billion and adjusted EBITDA between $385 million and $395 million.
A little over six months ago we unveiled to investors our FUN forward long term growth strategy which included six key growth initiatives. Through these key initiatives we expect to grow adjusted EBITDA to $450 million by 2016. While we are only a little more than three months into the operational execution of this plan, we remain confident in our ability to meet these expectations.
One of these initiatives in enhanced guest experience focuses on delivering a compelling value for the price paid at every park every day. We believe one of the best metrics in determining its success with this initiative is a Net Promoter Score or NPS. For those of you not familiar with NPS, it is a customer relationship metric based on the fundamental perspective that every company's customers can be divided into three categories: promoters, passive and detractors.Read the rest of this transcript for free on seekingalpha.com

Suffice it to say Sarah Brightman is one class act. Known for her soaring soprano and waif-like demeanor, she's musical theater's leading lady... a diva deluxe... and, it might be noted, Andrew Lloyd Weber's ex. She's also a pop princess, with credits that include more than 26 million albums sold worldwide and megagigs like the opening ceremonies for the recent Beijing Olympics, the star-studded Concert for Diana, the Shanghai Live Earth show, and Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Add to that her genre-defying diversity, which has transitioned her from Lloyd Weber's world of lavish stage spectaculars to crossover collaborations with the likes of Andrea Bocelli and Kiss' Paul Stanley. OK, we gotta admit that last one threw us too. The point is, Brightman has the ability to break through barriers. Even the holidays are a bit more earnest with Brightman, thanks to her new album — the aptly titled A Winter Symphony, her first collection of seasonal songs. In concert, that versatility becomes all the more apparent. Whether she'll be belting out songs from Phantom, Cats, and her ex's other monster musicals remains to be seen, but Brightman does borrow the lessons she learned on Broadway and London's West End. Expect to encounter some over-the-top opulence in her stage show as well.

How do you handle an adolescent who refuses to speak, even about his project, or a student who is very attentive in class but fails to perform in examinations? If stress levels among engineering students are a cause of concern, it is the same among their teachers who are often unaware of methods to help such students.
Two months before a new batch of students enters engineering colleges, lecturers and professors of Anna University are being counselled on how to handle students and help them handle stress better.
In a series of workshops organised by the Centre for Empowerment of Women, Anna University, the lecturers are trained in specific ways to help students understand personal and academic stress.
"Students come here from varied backgrounds and the biggest challenge is to get them to open up and speak boldly. Many talk in mono syllables," said Hema Achyuthan, director, Centre for Empowerment of Women, and a professor in the geology department.
The workshop on Friday was handled by counsellor Prabha Arun who said that students tend to approach only those teachers who make them feel relaxed. Lecturers assume that college students are more responsible but the transition from school often takes time, she said.
Observing student behaviour helps a lot, said teachers. Y. Vidhya Lakshmi, a physics lecturer said, "We might observe a student behaving differently but only when we talk to hostel wardens do we get a better picture of his recent activities. Also, the fact that teachers keep changing every semester does not allow students to foster longer relationships with them," she said.
Teachers say that the 45 minutes allotted every week for counselling students is hardly sufficient to understand their problems. Also, teachers are expected to shoulder more responsibilities, such as handling additional programmes and submitting research papers. This leaves them with very little time to interact with students, a lecturer said.

Jesus exorcising at sunset
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jesus exorcising at sunset is one of the miracles of Jesus in the Gospels. It appears in the Gospels just after the Healing the mother of Peter's wife, namely in Matthew 8:16-17, Mark 1:32-34 and Luke 4:40-41.[1][2][3][4][5]
According to the Gospels, after Jesus had healed the mother of Peter's wife, when evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. According to the Gospel of Matthew, this was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
- "He took up our infirmities
- and bore our diseases.
In the Gospel of Luke, as the demons came out of many people, they shouted, "You are the Son of God!" But Jesus rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew he was the Christ.

I've finally started taking a supplement that I hope will help me through these turbulent peri-menopausal years. A wise woman on another forum suggested this supplement to me last year and I bought it, but didn't take it consistently. I am now trying to take 2 on UDs and one on DDs after a meal. I do feel like it's helping. The ingredients list vit D, and 5-HTP among others. I think it's definitely worth trying, if you are suffering like I am with hormonal issues. :) I like the fact that it's a natural supplement, as opposed to a prescription anti-depressant. I have been there. Plus, it's got other additives that can boost health.
Thank you for this information. I am storing it for future reference. Please keep us updated on your results!
I am seeing an improvement, however TMI it seems to be causing constipation. :( I couldn't figure out anything I'd done differently, EXCEPT the Amoryn. Oops, then I looked it up and it's a side effect, though apparently not common. I will continue to take it but start taking magnesium supplements as well (again).
I'm glad you're seeing good results from this. Yes do keep us posted on how you feel it is working long-term.

Swansea duo Leon Britton and Marvin Emnes are set to miss the start of the new Premier League season through injury.
Long-serving midfielder Britton and summer signing Emnes are both struggling with knee problems and are facing a few weeks on the sidelines.
Swansea revealed Britton is suffering from a badly bruised bone in his knee, while Emnes has a meniscal (cartilage) problem.
Britton and Emnes are set to undergo further scans on their injuries next month to find out how long the pair will be sidelined for.
The duo missed Sunday's pre-season 4-0 win over Plymouth Argyle and the club expect them to miss the big Premier League kick-off against Manchester United on August 16.

Synalloy Corporation Announces Second Quarter Results
SPARTANBURG, S.C., July 26, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Synalloy Corporation (Nasdaq:SYNL), a producer of stainless steel pipe, fabricator of stainless and carbon steel piping systems, and producer of specialty chemicals, announces that the second quarter of 2010 produced net earnings of $1,078,000, or $0.17 per share, on a 68% sales increase to $36,349,000. This compares to a net loss from continuing operations of $259,000, or $0.04 loss per share, on sales from continuing operations of $21,692,000, in 2009's second quarter. For the six months ended July 3, 2010, sales were $71,549,000, up 37% from sales of $52,085,000 from continuing operations for the same period of 2009. Net earnings for the first six months of 2010 were $1,160,000 or $0.18 per share. Net earnings from continuing operations for the first six months of 2009 were $81,000 or $0.01 per share.
Metals Segment
Sales increased 78% in the second quarter of 2010 from the same quarter a year earlier while operating income was $963,000 compared to a $108,000 loss a year earlier. The sales increase resulted from a 72% increase in unit volumes combined with a 4% increase in average selling prices. The increase in unit volume came from a 140% increase in commodity pipe sales that reflect the more aggressive marketing of this product to gain market share. The increased unit volumes let us operate the plant at a more efficient level and retain our experienced employees. Non-commodity unit volumes, aided by the August 31, 2009 acquisition of Ram-Fab, LLC, were essentially unchanged. Second quarter's selling prices, when compared to 2009's second quarter, reflects higher stainless steel prices partially offset by a change in product mix to a higher percent of lower-priced commodity pipe from higher-priced non-commodity pipe and piping systems. The increase in operating income in the second quarter of 2010 was primarily due to profits produced by our FIFO inventory method from the rising price of raw materials compared to little effect from this a year earlier.

Sincere thanks for your advice.
Your instruction pages are very plain and easy to follow, but
I still can't get java enabled from your instructions page 4.
I have tried the java page for further advice:
I get to step 9 and 10 there:#
#9 To integrate the Sun Java Plug-in with web browsers like Firefox open a terminal window (Applications | Accessories | Terminal) and type the following:
myname@laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install sun-java5-plugin
etc, then:
#10. After the installation is complete you can (re-)start the Firefox browser and enter the URL "about
lugins" to verify that the Java Plug-in has been installed
( Note: for the JRE JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre ):
I have re-booted machine, installed all updates and it says all the java files are enabled, but when I try to load a page it won't display. Gives me message at the bottom of blank page:
Loading java applet failed...
Please can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

Durand is a village in Winnebago County, Illinois, United States. It is part of the Rockford, Illinois Metropolitan Statistical Area The population was 1,443 at the 2010 census, up from 1,081 at the 2000 census.
Its township's beginnings initiated originally in a no longer existing settlement called Elton, an area South of Durand and including parts of the Pecatonica and Rock Run townships and settled in 1835 by Nelson Salisbury, Harvey Lower, and Scott Robb. They and nine other families settled the Southwest portion of modern Durand, Pecatonica, and Rock Run area. Durand gave birth to Illinois' first tax-supported volunteer fire department. Since its settlement, Durand has been prone to devastating fires.[2] Durand's early flourishings were closely linked to the development of the Racine-Mississippi Railroad later absorbed into Western Union.[3] The line reached Durand in 1857, en route to Freeport, paving the shift from the Elton community into modern Durand and deriving its name from the railroad's first president, H.S. Durand. At this time, Durand saw the beginning of its prosperity which entailed the demise of the Elton settlement.[4]
Durand is located at 42°26′2″N 89°19′41″W / 42.43389°N 89.32806°W (42.433928, -89.328007).[5] It is located 14 miles by road north of US Route 20 on Illinois Route 70. Illinois Route 75 also runs south of town.
According to the 2010 census, the village has a total area of 0.94 square miles (2.4 km2), all land.[6]
As of the census[7] of 2000, there were 1,081 people, 441 households, and 288 families residing in the village. The population density was 1,200.9 people per square mile (463.8/km²). There were 468 housing units at an average density of 519.9 per square mile (200.8/km²). The racial makeup of the village was 97.22% White, 0.56% African American, 0.28% Native American, 0.09% Pacific Islander, 0.65% from other races, and 1.20% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 1.02% of the population.
There were 441 households out of which 34.9% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 53.1% were married couples living together, 9.5% had a female householder with no husband present, and 34.5% were non-families. 32.2% of all households were made up of individuals and 15.6% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.45 and the average family size was 3.10.
In the village the population was spread out with 28.9% under the age of 18, 6.9% from 18 to 24, 28.8% from 25 to 44, 21.8% from 45 to 64, and 13.6% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 36 years. For every 100 females there were 92.0 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 86.7 males.
The median income for a household in the village was $43,988, and the median income for a family was $51,042. Males had a median income of $41,016 versus $23,068 for females.

Five Things Weird Al Critiques in Mandatory Fun

Being misunderstood is a career hazard when your career involves being the frontman and principal songwriter for LCD Soundsystem. But even James Murphy seemed taken aback when, a week after the internet debut of "Drunk Girls" — the first single off his band's third and supposedly final LP, This Is Happening — a "fan"-made video for the song appeared on YouTube. It was not kind: To the bounding strains of what had been originally conceived as an ironic, self-deprecating White Light/White Heat homage, photographs of young women slowly rotated — passed out, partially clothed, vomiting, uniformly compromised. "Can someone just erase that thing?" a dejected Murphy pleaded on his website. "It makes me kind of sick."
YouTube and its lawyers eventually obliged, and — LCD being LCD — Spike Jonze stepped in to direct the song's official, nonobjectifying video. But Murphy, whose elect status in New York City was cemented by writing perhaps the single finest depiction of what it was like to be youngish in New York in the first decade of the 21st Century — 2007's "All My Friends" — found himself in an unfamiliar position. Much was made of the fact that he recently turned 40: One site dubbed him "Creepy Uncle New York." The man who had spent most of the aughts explaining his generation to itself went to L.A. to make a record and returned to find the kids yet again coming up from behind.
How convenient. On 2002's "Losing My Edge," Murphy famously listed his record collection as a bulwark against irrelevance and, in doing so, became himself a kind of geographical/generational shorthand. This not totally enviable burden, neatly taken up on 2007's Sound of Silver, a record sung almost entirely in the first person plural, is set pointedly aside on This Is Happening. What "Drunk Girls" actually is, it turns out, is an apologia: "Just 'cause I'm shallow doesn't mean that I'm heartless," Murphy sings. "Just 'cause I'm heartless doesn't mean that I'm mean."

The song, like the rest of the record, was recorded in an L.A. mansion owned by Rick Rubin; Murphy and his bandmates dubbed it "The Manshun," dressed all in white, and retained the services of a live-in chef. "Drunk Girls," he explained to Pitchfork, is "about drunk people and fun things and the fact that all of the boys of the L.A. mansion we recorded at were called 'the girls' by our chef. We were the ladies of the mansion." Videos from that period show the broad-shouldered ringleader bobbing around in a pool, talking about his feelings. This Is Happening is largely the sound of Murphy disappearing back into a world of his own making.
What else is there to do when you've had your heart broken? As much as Murphy likes to talk about his affinity for "dumb body music," as he put it in the Guardian, LCD Soundsystem's truly indelible stuff has always been its most muted, wounded, and acid. (Though let no one say This Is Happening's twin titans of mumbling inarticulateness, "One Touch" and "Pow Pow" — the latter of which ventures far enough afield to throw a stray shot at the Village Voice's Michael Musto — are anything but ecstatically effective paeans to saying nothing in particular.) On everything from "Losing My Edge" to Sound of Silver's "Someone Great" and "New York, I Love You but You're Bringing Me Down," Murphy has been at his best when he's had a target to aim for — and whoever walked out on him during the writing of This Is Happening certainly provided that. What's "body music," anyway? "Tell me a line, make it easy for me," he pleads on "I Can Change." "Open your arms, dance with me until I feel all right."
About that girl. By my count, she's the explicit subject of four out of nine songs here, and likely the inspiration for all of them. Label kiss-off and orthodox dance-floor workout "You Wanted a Hit," for instance, seems to dovetail nicely with Murphy's claims to be done with the band after this record ("I don't know if EMI would put another record out by us," he has said), and perhaps now we know the reason why. "You wanted the time, but maybe I can't do time," he sings. "Oh, we both know that's an awful line/But it doesn't make it wrong."
Time to the tune of years and years on tour, on the road, and out of the house. On "All I Want," which halfheartedly cloaks some of the most bitter and unadorned lyrics you'll ever hear in a rock song with a mournfully direct guitar lift from David Bowie's "Heroes," Murphy lays it out. You "wait for the day you come home," you "look for the girl who has put up with all of your shit," but it's too late: "You learn in your bed you've been gone for too long/So you put in the time, but it's too late to make it strong." (That word "time" again.) Even "Dance Yrself Clean," This Is Happening's sardonic, trash-talking opener, morphs, right around the moment the titanic live drums kick in, into a seemingly off-topic, howling reconciliation fantasy: "Break me into bigger pieces, so some of me is home with you." ("Home" — another word that's all over this record.) Weirdly, neither of these two songs contains Happening's most abject moment.

This is a discussion on please.get my mind right about safeties within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Originally Posted by RugerMike When the excrement hits the oscillating device, all I want to worry about is putting the front sight on the bad ...
I'm with the majority here. I don't want any manual safety on my defensive firearms. I simply want to point and pull the trigger.
During the last two seasons duck hunting, I've missed several shots simply because I forgot to take the safety off my shotgun. Since I hunt with several other people, safeties are always on until it's time to shoot. The problem is that in the excitement of the moment, it's easy to forget the simplest things. The good thing is that those weren't life and death situations.
"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the outcome of the vote." ~ Benjamin Franklin
My K-Tec P-11, S&W M&P9c, S&W Sigma 9, DO NOT have safeties, save for the hinged triggers on the M&P and Sigma.
I just Picked up a S&W 6906 and a 6904, both with decockers.
I would carry the decocker pistols with the firearm ready to fire, without having to de-activate the decocker.
I would however, NOT have a pistol for SD that had an actual "safety" which would have to be fumbled with, in order to fire it.
But, like all things of this earth, this is a subjective personal matter with which YOU must come to terms with.
I would rather die with good men than hide with cowards
If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.
Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy."
M&Pc .357sig, 2340Sigpro .357sig
I took the thumb safety OFF my M&P9C and installed frame plugs. It is much better this way. Another thing I found when carrying with a thumb safety, a lot of times it gets snagged on clothes or whatever and gets putt in the "off" position sometimes. My M&P only goes bang when I deliberately pull the trigger. If you have a holster that is good quality and covers the trigger, that is all you need.
The last thing I need if I am forced to use my carry weapon is to have to think about a safety. DA/SA autos make the question easy, same as revolvers. I only own one handgun with a safety, a PPK/s, and I only use it as a decocker.

Welcome to the forum.
As to your question, it would depend on the gun. A 1911, or any other semi auto that you plan to carry cocked, then you definitely want a safety on it. If it is a double action you will be carrying with the hammer down, a safety is not something you need on it, but if it is there, no biggie. A striker fired gun, I see no reason for an external safety on it at all.

My M&P 9 has the external safety, and I like having it. You just need to practice with it, so you won't forget to take it off it under stress.
I own CC guns with external safeties and passive safeties. But, the only "safety" I truly rely on is my "brain".
"Train-the-brain" correctly and you can adapt & overcome almost anything.

Guys, lets keep it on the mechanical saftey topic...any other "chamber commentary" will be axed.
