Determining the Software Version
Note We strongly recommend that you use the latest available software release for all Cisco MDS 9000 Family products.
To determine the version of the Cisco SAN-OS software currently running on a Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch, log in to the switch and enter the show version EXEC command.
Image Upgrade
The Cisco MDS SAN-OS software is designed for mission-critical high availability environments. To realize the benefits of nondisruptive upgrades on the Cisco MDS 9500 Directors, we highly recommend that you install dual supervisor modules.
You can nondisruptively upgrade to (or downgrade from) Release 1.2(1b) using any Cisco MDS SAN-OS software release other than Release 1.0(2a).
New Features in Release 1.2(1b)
SAN-OS Release 1.2(1b) is a patch release for switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family. See the "Caveats" section for details on closed and outstanding caveats and limitations.
Note The Release Notes are specific to this maintenance release. For the rest of the 1.2(1b) documentation, refer to the Release 1.2(1a) document set (see the "Related Documentation" section).
To perform an upgrade from Release 1.2(1a) to Release 1.2(1b), or from 1.2(1b) to 1.2(1a), follow these steps:
Step 1 Log into the switch through the console port, an SSH session, or a Telnet session.
Step 2 Change to configuration mode.switch# config terminal
Step 3 Specify the kickstart image to be used for the reboot.switch(config)# boot kickstart bootflash:kickstart-image
Note You can only specify one image for the KICKSTART variable.
Step 4 Specify the system image.switch(config)# boot system bootflash:system-image
Step 5 Save the new variable configuration so the new image is used the next time you log into the switch.switch# copy running-config startup-config
Step 6 Reboot the switch.switch# reloadThis command will reboot the system. (y/n)? y
The reload command reboots the system and updates the variable in one or both supervisor modules automatically.
Step 7 Use the show version command to verify the updated image on the supervisor module.switch# show versionCisco Storage Area Networking Operating System (SAN-OS) SoftwareTAC support: http://www.cisco.com/tacCopyright (c) 2002-2003 by Cisco Systems, Inc.

Step 8 Issue the show module command to verify that the supervisor module in Slot 6 is running the new image.
Note The next time you reboot the switch, the saved image is used. If you do not save the configuration, the previously saved startup configuration image is used.
This section lists the open and resolved caveats for this release. Use Table 3 to determine the status of a particular caveat. In the table, "R" indicates a resolved caveat, and "O" indicates an open caveat.
Resolved Caveats
Symptom: A Cisco MDS 9500 director, with 16-port modules currently running version 1.1(2), 1.1(3), or 1.2(1A), that was non-disruptively upgraded from version 1.0(x), 1.1(1), or 1.1(1A) and then encountered a link reinitialization on one of the 16 ports can cause the system to get into an unpredictable state and may require a switch reset to recover.
Workaround: To prevent this unpredictable state, proactively reset the 16 port line-card after the upgrade. The following command can be used for this purpose:reload module <module-num>
To proactivly power-cycle the affected switching module(s) after completing the upgrade procedure specified in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Configuration Guide, follow these steps:
1. Identify the Fibre Channel modules that need to be reset in the MDS switch using the show module command.switch# show moduleMod Ports Module-Type Model Status--- ----- ------------------ ----- ------------4 16 1/2 Gbps FC Module DS-X9016 ok5 0 Supervisor/Fabric-1 DS-X9530-SF1-K9 active *...
In this example, only module 4 needs to be reset.
2. Issue the reload module command to reset the identified module. This command power cycles the selected module.switch# reload module number
Where number indicates the slot in which the identified module resides. For example:switch# reload module 4
3. Verify the Fibre Channel module that was reset in the MDS switch using the show module command. The same command issued within a few seconds of each other displays the varying states of the reloaded Fibre Channel module in this recently upgrade Cisco MDS 9500 Series Director.switch# show moduleMod Ports Module-Type Model Status--- ----- ------------------ ----- ------------4 16 1/2 Gbps FC Module DS-X9016 pwr-cycled5 0 Supervisor/Fabric-1 DS-X9530-SF1-K9 active *...switch# show moduleMod Ports Module-Type Model Status--- ----- ------------------ ----- ------------4 16 1/2 Gbps FC Module DS-X9016 powered-up5 0 Supervisor/Fabric-1 DS-X9530-SF1-K9 active *...switch# show moduleMod Ports Module-Type Model Status--- ----- ------------------ ----- ------------4 16 1/2 Gbps FC Module DS-X9016 ok5 0 Supervisor/Fabric-1 DS-X9530-SF1-K9 active *...
Symptom: If SNMP role-based users modify their own roles using the Device Manager, then the rules for those role are removed and those users will not be able to connect to the switch using SNMP.
Workaround: None.
Symptom: After creating a read-only zone using Fabric Manager version 1.2(1), if you select the zone in the left hand pane (in the tree), the Members tab in the top pane may be empty.
Workaround: None. Upgrade to Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.2(2a).
Symptom: Incorrect, large values are returned for SysUptime queries by the MDS SNMP agent.
Workaround: None. Upgrade to Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.2(2a).
Symptom: Removing enclosures using the Fabric Manager removes member ports from fabric map.
Workaround: None. Upgrade to Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.2(2a).
Symptom: While upgrading from 1.0(x) to 1.2(1a) space is not created in forwarding tables for new MPLS segments using remote span. This causes RSPAN to fail.
Workaround: None. Upgrade to Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.2(2a).
Symptom: When a VSAN with the interop 2 option in a Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch is configured to interoperate with a Brocade switch running in Native mode, the Cisco MDS switch permits the use of $ and - characters in zone set, zone, and alias names. The Brocade switch rejects zone updates containing objects with these special characters, and in some situations may isolate the ISL and segment the fabric.
Workaround: When administering zoning from an MDS switch, be sure that the zone set, zone, and alias names do not include "$" and "-" characters. The underscore character is permitted.
Symptom: When two TE ports are configured as a part of port channels, the transition ports intermittently show up as invalid ports in the Fabric Manager. They later merge to come up as PortChannel.
Workaround: None. Upgrade to Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.2(2a).
Open Caveats
Symptom: When more than one change is detected within a 50 msec window in the membership of the egress port of an existing route, the Forwarding Information Base (FIB) properly pauses the Virtual Output Queues (VOQs) of the newly added egress ports. When the pause timer expires, instead of resuming the VOQs of the paused ports related to this timer, the FIB resumes the VOQs of the paused ports related to the last timer started.
Workaround: None.
Symptom: When node positions are fixed on the Fabric Manager topology map, switches may disappear from the topology map if links to devices are physically moved between different switch ports.
Workaround: None.
Symptom: The show version command output may create a core file when a image is downgraded. This does not impact system behavior.
Workaround: None.
Symptom: When the port security or the fabric binding features are enabled in switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family, you cannot add members to Gigabit Ethernet PortChannels.
Workaround: None.
Symptom: The iSCSI host cannot open an iSCSI session to the IPS module when the TCP selective acknowledgement (SACK) option is enabled. The Cisco iSCSI initiator for Windows 2000, version 3.1.2, is not able to initiate an iSCSI session to an IPS-8 in an MDS 9509 running SAN-OS 1.2(1a).
Workaround: Downgrade to SAN-OS 1.1.
Symptom: When you issue a REPORT_LUNS inquiry to a XIOtech storage target, an unusual check condition with 0x062900 (Unit Attention due to power down/up, bus reset...) is returned.
Workaround: None.
Symptom: If a Fabric Manager client has two NIC cards and launches the Fabric Manager, the resulting dialog box allows you to choose between the two NICs. SNMP times out, regardless of which NIC is selected.
Workaround: Use Device Manager.
Symptom: After upgrading to Release 1.2(2), a rare combination of removing a switching (or services) module and deleting a VSAN may cause the standby supervisor module to remain in the down state.
Workaround: Follow these steps to reload the switch, or upgrade to Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.2(2a).
1. Issue the command:copy startup-config bootflash:saved-config
2. Issue the command:write erase
3. Issue the command:copy bootflash:saved-config startup-config
4. Reload. Standby should come up properly.
Symptom: Upgrading from Release 1.2(1a) to 1.2(1b), or downgrading from 1.2(1b) to 1.2(1a) is disruptive. Using the installer does not upgrade line cards and switchover because the SRG is same.
Workaround: None. Do not use "install all" to upgrade from 1.2(1a) to 1.2(1b) or to downgrade from 1.2(1b) to 1.2(1a). The recommended procedure is to copy the images onto the supervisors, set the boot variables and then reboot the system.
Symptom: The show version command output for Release 1.2(1b) displays the following software image information.SoftwareBIOS: version 1.0.8loader: version 1.1(2)kickstart: version 1.2(1a) [build 1.2(1b)] <-----------------current running versionsystem: version 1.2(1a) [build 1.2(1b)] <-----------------current running version
Workaround: None.
Symptom: A vulnerability in the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) specification (RFC 793) was discovered by an external researcher. The successful exploitation enables an adversary to reset any established TCP connection in a much shorter time than was previously discussed publicly. Depending on the attacked protocol, a successful attack may have additional consequences beyond terminated connection. This attack vector is only applicable to those sessions terminating in a device (such as a router, switch, or computer) and not to the sessions that are only passing through the device (for example, transit traffic that is being routed by a router). In addition, this attack vector does not directly compromise data integrity or confidentiality. All Cisco products which contain TCP stack are susceptible to this vulnerability.
This advisory is available at the following website, and it describes this vulnerability as it applies to Cisco products that run Cisco IOS® software. http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20040420-tcp-ios.shtml
A companion advisory that describes this vulnerability for products that do not run Cisco IOS software is available at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20040420-tcp-nonios.shtml.
Workaround: Depending on the application, the connection may get automatically reestablished. In other cases, a user will have to repeat the action (for example, open a new Telnet or SSH session).
Symptom: If a spare supervisor module has the local boot variables pointing to Release 1.0(1) or 1.0(2) images, inserting that spare supervisor module into a functioning switch will cause the active supervisor module to fail. This issue exists in all releases up to and including Release 1.3(3c).
Workaround: If the active supervisor runs any of the affected releases, check the version of the spare supervisor module before inserting it, or issue the reload module slot-number force-dnld command immediately after the insertion. The slot-number is the number of the slot in which the spare module is inserted.
Symptom: When trying to access Fabric or Device Manager using SNMPv3, the user is unable to access the switch and is prompted with the error message "notintimewindow".
Workaround: Set the clock on the switch to the highest, and then to the lowest. From there, set it back to the regular time.
Symptom: If you are running Cisco MDS SAN-OS releases 1.1(3), 1.2(1a), 1.2(1b), 1.2(2a), 1.3(1), 1.3(2a), 1.3(3), or 1.3(3c), the following sequence of operations might lead to the failure of one or both supervisor modules simultaneously:
a. Removing an IPS-8 module from the switch.
b. Inserting a different type of module in the same slot.
c. Configuring the new module.
d. Issuing the copy running-config startup-config command.
Removing the IPS-8 module at any time and replacing with another IPS-8 module does not cause this problem.
Workaround: Before replacing an IPS-8 module with a different type of module in the same slot, upgrade to Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.3(4a).
Symptom: If a malfunctioning device does not swap the source and destination FCIDs, a PLOGI frame sent by this device can cause high CPU utilization. These PLOGI frame errors are reported by the zone server.
Workaround: None.
Symptom: When an iSCSI initiator logs in to a Gigabit Ethernet port number 1 on an IPS module in slot 1, the switch sends a login response with the value of the Target Session Identifying Handle (TSIH) field set to zero (0), which is an iSCSI protocol violation. This situation can also occur when an iSCSI initiator logs in to Ethernet PortChannel number 1. The Qlogic iSCSI initiator may verify the TSIH value and reject it.
Workaround: None.
Sympton: An error message in the log file occurs because the platform manager component passes the wrong parameter while responding to a SNMP query. In some cases, this results in the query not being responded to.
Workaround: Perform a refresh on Device Manager to clear the problem.
Symptom: While using an FCIP link for remote SPAN, it is possible that the FCIP link may flap.
Workaround: Do not use FCIP links for Remote SPAN.CSCsh27840
Symptom: When the Fabric Manager or Device Manager communicates with the Cisco MDS switch through Virtual Private Network (VPN) or any Network Address Translation (NAT) scheme, a generic error message occurs while adding duplicate zone members from a VPN connection.
Workaround: None. If an error occurs while running through VPN/NAT, all errors will show up as generic errors without a detailed message describing the error.
Symptom: The Fabric Manager or Device Manager reports an error for all operations if the switch is multihomed (both IPFC-based in-band management and the out-of-band management interface are up) and the Fabric or Device Manager was started using the IPFC address. Typically, you will see a notInTime window error in the Device Manager and all SNMP set operations fail.
Workaround: If the switch is multihomed, then start the Fabric or Device Manager on the switch using the out-of-band management interface IP address.
Symptom: The Device Manager shows a port in the down state (red square) when the operational status of the port is up. This rare occurrence is due to the failure cause of the port not being empty (for example, the failure case reflects the initializing state).
Workaround: None.
Symptom: When a switch is upgraded while the Device Manager for that switch is open, a Java error of class cast exception occurs. When this error occurs, some Device Manager menu items are unusable while other menu items remain in this error state.
Workaround: Close the Device Manager and reopen it.
Symptom: Sometimes, the zone merge import command results in isolation.
Workaround: Reissue the command to resolve the isolation problem.
Symptom: The following error message is issued when you try configuring switch drop latency:changing this parameter is not allowed could not update the value
Workaround: None. Switch drop latency is not configurable in this release of the software.
Symptom: When issuing a command that shows PortChannels (such as show interface port-channel or show port-channel summary), EtherChannel interfaces are also displayed in the VSAN membership database. This does not cause any performance issues.
Workaround: None.
Symptom: When downgrading a Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch to an older release version which does not contain the LUN zoning feature, for example, Release 1.1(x), the configuration is not erased completely.
Workaround: Delete the LUN zoning configuration before downgrading the switch.
Symptom: When running the install module loader command, you must wait for this command to finish before issuing the reload module command or the system will hang.
Workaround: None.
Symptom: While configuring an "ip access-list" and a switchover occurs for whatever reason, the standby may only have partial ip access-list information. This results in an inconsistency in applying the ip access-list policy after switchover. If this occurs, remove that recently configured ip access-list and configure it again.
Workaround: None.
Symptom: For iSCSI hosts connected to Cisco MDS switches, XIOtech storage devices may not be visible as iSCSI targets.
Workaround: None.
Symptom: Using the Fabric Manager, you may set a NULL server address for the syslog and RADIUS servers.
Workaround: None. You must set the correct address.
Symptom: A FC-tunnel interface is not completely displayed when configured as a SPAN destination using the Fabric Manager application.
Workaround: None.
Symptom: The Fabric Manager provides an option to choose a NIC from within a multi-NIC system, but the Device Manager does not provide this option. If the Device Manager is opened from the Fabric Manager, this feature still works. If the Device Manager is opened from a desktop, a timeout error occurs.
Workaround: Start the Device Manager from the command line, using the option -Dmds.nmsAddress=XX to set a preferred address.
Symptom: Activating a zone using the Fabric Manager fails when the interop mode is enabled, but works from the CLI.
Workaround: None. Upgrade to Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.2(2a).
Symptom: When altering an Fx-port state using SNMP, the following error is reported:snmpset: Agent reported error with variable #1..iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-220.127.116.11.184.108.40.206.0: SNMP: A generalfailure occurred on the agent.
Workaround: None.
Symptom: The Fabric Manager (FM) cannot correlate an iSCSI host with two NIC cards when the iSCSI initiator is identified by the IP address (either from a matching static iscsi initiator ip-address command or from an iSCSI interface switchport initiator id ip-address command for dynamic initiators). This is a result of the switch putting IP address in the symbolic-node-name field in the FCNS entry for that initiator. This was done to allow zoning based on IP address in ISAN software Release 1.1(x) and 1.2(x) where zone membership for iSCSI initiator can only be based on symbolic-node-name value.
Workaround: To allow FM to show the above-mentioned host properly, the switch will instead fill the FCNS entry's symbolic-node-name field with the actual iSCSI initiator node name (i.e. its IQN name).
This impacts for users who configure zoning based on iSCSI initiator's IP address via the symbolic node name field, e.g.zone name a vsan 1 member symbolic-nodename 10.2.2.112
Change the above configuration to the following for this configuration to continue working after upgrading to Release 1.3(4a).zone name a vsan 1 member ip-address 10.2.2.112
Symptom: You can TFTP to a Cisco MDS switch through the management interface from any TFTP client. In SAN-OS Releases 1.3(4a), 1.3(4b) and 1.3(5), a default IP access control list (ACL) rule is added to block frames for ports like TFTP, SUNRP and BOOTP.
Workaround: For SAN-OS Releases 1.2(1a), 1.2(1b), 1.2(2a), 1.3(1), 1.3(2a), 1.3(3), and 1.3(3c), manually create the drop rule by issuing the following commands in succession:switch(config)# ip access-list abc deny udp any any eq port 69switch(config)# ip access-list abc permit ip any anyswitch(config)# interface mgmt 0switch(config-if)# ip access-group abc
Symptom: This caveat applies to Release 1.1(1) up to, and including, Release 1.3(4b). The Fibre Channel port link reinitialization sequence triggered by a link down event does not succeed if the switching module is up for more than 248 days and the last shutdown command on that port was issued 248 days prior to the link failure. After the link-down event, the port remains in the link failure or not connected state as shown in the following command output:switch# show interface fc2/1fc2/1 is down (Link failure or not-connected)
Workaround: Issue the shutdown command, followed by the no shutdown command, on the affected port to bring the port back to link-up state as shown in the following command output:switch# config tswitch(config)# interface fc2/1switch(config)# shutdownswitch(config)# no shutdown
Issue the following commands to verify the module uptime.switch# attach module 2Attaching to module 2 ...
To exit type exit, to abort type $.module-2# show versionSoftwareBIOS: version 1.0.8system: version 2.0(1) [build 2.0(0.139)]BIOS compile time: 08/07/03system compile Time: 10/25/2020 12:00:00HardwareRAM 186668 kBbootflash: 125184 blocks (block size 512b)lc02 uptime is 11 days 18 hours 18 minute(s) 9 second(s)
Other notes:
–Any nondisruptive upgrade or downgrade resets the 248-day window.
–Once the shutdown and no shutdown commands are issued, it is good for another 248 days.
–If the switch has been up for a long time and the customer wants to connect new devices to the switch ports, then you may start with the shutdown and no shutdown commands on those ports
Symptom: The Telnet server may not be disabled even if you disable it through setup. A telnet session will still work in the switch.
Workaround: Issue the no telnet server enable command in configuration mode to disable telnet after you login to the switch.
Symptom: If the NetApp file server appliance is configured as an initiator performing a Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) backup, then the fabric login (FLOGI) process on the MDS switch might terminate because of excessive LSTS requests.
This might happen if your N port or NL port uses extended link services to manage and control a public remote loop. The NetApp file server appliance configuration uses these services, namely LSTS and LINIT, which are documented in the Fibre Channel standards compliance (FC-FLA standard) specification.
Workaround: Upgrade to Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.0(4).

Eliminating "Flinching"/anticipating recoil?
Hey all,
I had an extra hour or so to kill after work today, so naturally I decided to spend some time at the LGS/range. I put 100 rounds through each an FNX-9 and a SA Range Officer. Both shot really well and functioned flawlessly, BTW.
BUT, I noticed I was flinching and really anticipating the recoil a lot. Is there a good training tip or method to eliminate this? I usually shoot my XDM in .40 but I didn't have it with me today. I'm sure at least some of this had to do with the fact that I'm used to shooting a "snappier" round, but I know guys that can shoot multiple calibers equally well.
I want to make sure my fundamentals are sound, because that's what translates well no matter what round or what gun.

My wife had a flinching problem, I used to load an AZoom (aluminum) snap cap somewhere in the cylinder or magazine randomly. She got over her flinching rather fast.

Practice. Get a .22 and shoot a few thousand rounds. When you go back to a larger round you may notice a change. Also I would do lots of dry fire practice and just concentrate on a slow steady trigger pull... I wouldn't say that it should be a "surprise" when it goes off, but you shouldn't be trying to make it fire you should be trying to get a smooth trigger pull while focusing on your front sight. my .02

Buy some snap caps, have someone else load your mags randomly loading a snap cap every so often or... get multiple mags, load them yourself doing the same thing with the SC's, mix them up and practice.
If you have a revolver, you can practice this same technique by randomly loading a(or two) SC's in the cyl. The rest live rds. Spin the cyl. so you don't know where the caps are. Close cyl. and shoot.
Too, dry firing concentrating solely on trigger control and grip also helps to get your mind conditioned to concentrating on actual shooting technique's rather then recoil.
Shooting is mostly a mind game.

Dry fire and concentrate on releasing the sear without seeing any movement of the front sight. And relax.

I know one friend used a revolver loaded by someone else at random with live rounds or an empty cylinder so the shooter never knew when the gun would go off. Focused on trigger pull and sight picture for each slow fire round fired. Seems to have worked for him.

All good advice, including purchase of a .22 similar to the gun you have the most problem with.
But a quicker and easier way is the oldest. Don't think about the gun going off - concentrate on the sights and squeeeeze the trigger until it goes bang. Concentrating on the sights keeps you from thinking about the recoil and squeezing the trigger keeps you from anticipating it.

Front sight-Press. I think we are all guilty of flinching to one degree or another, no matter how seasoned a shooter you are. I also tend to flinch worse the more rounds I go through in a session.
What helps me in addition to concentrating hard on sight picture is that I know exactly what is going to happen when i pull the trigger. It is going to go boom with a recoil. Try to suprise yourself each time you pull the trigger and put yourself in the mindset of trying not to compensate for this, but to expect the recoil without trying to control it. It's when you start compensating for the boom is when you get into accuracy troubles. Just my experience, hope it helps.
Also, make sure you have a good solid grip on the pistol.

As an instructor, one of the things I do with my students is have them stand and hold the pistol like they are firing (always ensure weapon is clear and free of ammunition). Then I stand in front of them and start talking about stuff like "as you're firing along.......(make it up as you go but keep talking)" and I smack the muzzle of the gun lightly. I do this repeatedly and randomly miss the muzzle on purpose. Not only does it help identify if you are flinching or anticipating recoil (aka me hitting the muzzle), after a few rounds 99% of my students are no longer flinching. Hope this helps

Try hunting with a flintlock. After you pull the trigger, and depending on how humid it is, you might have time for lunch before it goes off. Holding a steady aim while all the histrionics take place right there in your face will train you not to flinch in anticipation. Of course, if it's REALLY slow, you could flinch and then regain your aim before the barrel discharges (just kidding, no flintlock is that slow unless it's malfunctioning somehow). Or else you should only hunt deaf, slow deer, none of which I've ever run across.

I have run into this issue with several of my Soldiers over the years. The best way that I have found is to have them mentally go through ALL of the fundamentals as they do it. Usually the bang will "surprise" them and they learn that (assuming the weapon does not malfunction) nothing "bad" will happen.
Sight picture - Front sight crisp and clear, target clear, rear sight fuzzy but there
Breath control - slow even breaths, no stopping breathing
Steady position - grip the weapon correctly, not to tight, not to loose. Feet in a strong position AND comfortable
Trigger SQUEEZE - pad of index finger on trigger, pulling the PAD of your finger strait back, with a steady and smooth motion
At some point in all of that mental gymnastics the gun will go bang and a little hole appears on the target.
Good luck
If you have to explain how great the idea was - it wasn't.

Devloping a good dry firing routin will help you take control of your pistol. Your snapping-in works best when it's done on a daily basis. The human eye can focus on only one point at a time. In pistol shooting that point is either the front or the rear sight. The target will be blurred.
I stood about ten feet from a blank white wall using the back of a kitchen chair to simulate a shooting bench. I experimented with developing a good grijp and developing my trigger finger placement. Proper trigger finger placement is vital to releasing the trigger with out disturbing sight alignment. There's no one trigger finger placement that works for everyone.
Next I focused my eyes on the front sight and raised the pistol, my eyes followed the pistol to shooting position and then I released the trigger watching the sights. If my trigger release disturbed the sights it was apparent with the white background.
When you carry your new slill to the range remember if you are focusing your eyes on the sights the target will blurr. If the sights are aligned when the shot fires they can move the distance of the bullseye and you will still hit the ten ring.
The pistol should suprise you when it goes off so you'll have no reason to flinch.
By the way I gained my experience while shooting of several Marine Corps pistol teams. I was a NRA master competitor.

As a matter of fact, I was just shooting my M&P 9mm today at the range and in the middle of a mag I heard a "BOOM!" from down the lanes. Everyone around me stopped shooting and said "what the heck was that?" It didn't even effect me knowing full well that it was the S&W 500 rental and once I was done with my mag, I looked back and everyone is looking at the guy shooting it. I tell them what it is and get back to shooting, hearing BOOM after BOOM and realized I was the only other one shooting. Obviously nobody else could concentrate.
As already suggested, a .22lr pistols and some snap caps for your other guns does wonders. I usually have a target taped to a wall and practice dry firing focusing only on the front sight and target. If you drown out everything else around you and focuse on what your doing. nothing will effect you as much, if at all. The .22lr handgun is your best bet though since you get some feedback unlike dry firing. Trigger pull has a lot to do with it as well. If your pulling to slowly or anticipating where the trigger breaks, it may make you flinch. Get enough practice in, make the gun second nature and shooting will be as easy as breathing.

Best Songs About America
U.S.A.! U.S.A.! America's a pretty great country, isn't it? The spacious skies, amber waves of grain and all that. But there's more to the nation than just one shade. Move from one state to the next, and you'll discover different customs, accents and insight about the land that 314 million people call home. Our list of the Best Songs About America doesn't just look at the U.S. through a pair of red, white and blue glasses. We've got some patriotic and joyful songs, but we've also got some angry and frustrated ones. They're all part of the American experience.
"American Idiot"
The title track of Green Day's comeback album doubles as the record's thematic center. "American Idiot" is a concept album filled with ideas that swarm inside any 16-year-old rebel's head, like how things would be different if the punks were in charge and how much the U.S. mainstream blows. The title cut sums up the hour-long album in less than three minutes.
"American Music"
The Blasters were playing roots music inspired by rock 'n' roll pioneers at a time when most bands were ignoring the past. But coming out of the late-'70s and early-'80s L.A. scene, the Blasters injected their Americana with shreds of jagged punk. "American Music" celebrates fast cars, hot girls and a time in U.S. history when it seemed like anything and everything was possible.
"Ashes of American Flags"
The backstory of Wilco's fourth album is part of its legend. After being rejected by a record-company exec for not being commercial enough, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot's scheduled release in fall 2001 was pushed back. When it finally came out the following spring (on a different label), the album — recorded before 9/11 — sounded eerily prescient in its post-9/11 subject matter. It's an American album though and through; "Ashes of American Flags" unfurls like a long, sad, lonely requiem.
"4th of July"
X were one of the most literate and tightest bands to come out of Los Angeles' late-'70s punk scene. They were starting to fall apart by the time they released their sixth album in 1987, but they had become a stronger and more focused band by then. See How We Are is almost Americana in its sound and subject matter. "4th of July," possibly X's greatest (and most accessible) single, is basically a breakup tale set against an Independence Day celebration. Side note: The song was written by Dave Alvin, who led the Blasters (their "American Music" is also on our list of the Best Songs About America).
"I'm So Bored With the U.S.A."
Leave it to a bunch of Brits to rain on our all-American parade. Then again, we did kinda stage a revolution against them a couple hundred years ago. No hard feelings? The Clash run down a list of things about the U.S.A. that either bore them or piss them off, including support of overseas dictatorships, rampant drug use in the Army, Richard Nixon and Starsky and Hutch, which always bored us, too.

His name was John, and although he was my grandfather I never met him. He was deceased before I was born. In his young adulthood he was homeless. He was a "hobo." There was a difference between a hobo and a bum. A bum does no work at all. A hobo would perform menial tasks in exchange for hot meals and a comfortable place to sleep for the night. John, my grandfather, was a hobo - a "king of the road."
I was told he traveled from Pennsylvania to the west coast in boxcars (purposely left empty and unlocked by the railroad for this purpose). He would periodically warm himself by hobo campfires that dotted the American landscape along the railroad tracks. He eventually returned to Pennsylvania by the same mode of transportation. He was homeless, but by trade he was a machinist. Still, he was homeless. World War II changed that. Now married with children my grandfather, John, found work as a machinist in the war effort. He made good money. He owned a car. His four children (including my mother) grew up, moved out, married and bought homes. John moved from homelessness to employment to a humble level of prosperity. He and his wife even began a small side business selling children's clothes.
But, to my understanding, he died at age 59 and entered a Christ-less eternity. I have no evidence that he had a personal relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ. In all his wanderings as a homeless individual, I have no indication that he experienced a place like the Atlantic City Rescue Mission. Although he surely received food and clothing due to the kindness of others, I don't know if he ever had the Gospel of Jesus Christ presented with these gifts. There's no family story of my grandfather receiving food, clothing and a Gospel message at a Mission or any other place. He died at age 59, and things could have been so different - physically and spiritually.
I have served on the Board of Trustees of the Atlantic City Rescue Mission since 1998. I see a dedicated staff of 50 ministers to the "John Does" of society giving food, clothing, shelter and more to the homeless. These provisions warm the hearts of needy people and open their minds to the presentation of the life changing Gospel, which is always readily available at The Atlantic City Rescue Mission.

This was a pretty decent holiday blend. I guess I was expecting a stronger taste of "holiday spice" (cinamon, nutmeg, etc), but this came across really mild to me (which I suppose is something I've come to expect from Kusmi). On their website the description for this tea says it "tastes like a Christmas cake", and I think its a very apt description. This does taste like a Christmas cake (specifically it reminds me of a fruitcake). If you like the idea of a tea that tastes similar to a holiday fruitcake, then this is the tea for you. I personally found it to be a good but not outstanding blend. I may reorder this at Christmas time just for the novelty of it one year, but I don't consider this good enough to become a holiday tradition at my home.

Fitzgerald, F. Scott: The Hotel Child. v1. 03 Jan 09
Here's a short story by
F. Scott Fitzgerald
, one that I have yet to read. Sorry, but I was unable to find a synopsis on it. If you decide to read it, please tell us what it's about!
F. Scott Fitzgerald
was a great writer. Many of his novels and short stories live on today, with some being made into recent films (See:
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
, available here on MobileRead).
My current goal is to assemble, here on MobileRead, everything that is available and legal. I already have four of his novels here - including T
he Great Gatsby
- but I will presently go back into those books and insert em dashes and do any clean-up work needed.
Like all the books I assemble on MobileRead, this too was assembled to reflect
human intervention and artistic judgment.
I hope you enjoy it.

Monster 75 FOOT wave smashes into BRITISH coast: Atlantic superstorm to hit UK TOMORROW
BRITAIN has been battered by the biggest wave in HISTORY - a staggering 75ft monster - just hours before a huge Atlantic superstorm is set to smash into the mainland.
The largest wave ever seen in British waters was recorded at 3.30am yesterday by a buoy operated by the Plymouth Coastal Observatory at Porthleven, Cornwall.
The beast destroyed the previous record British wave of 67ft and forecasters warned it was only the beginning of 72 hours of storm hell.
It came as experts recommended a TSUNAMI warning system be installed in the Atlantic to protect Britain and Ireland from enormous waves they claimed were 'increasingly likely'.
The UK was battered by 90mph winds and torrential rain again overnight – but by far the most violent storm forecast in recent times is yet to hit with widespread damage and disruption expected in the coming days.
Parts of a key railway line were destroyed and nearly 10,000 homes were left without power as the brutal weather wreaked havoc yesterday.
Police helicopters were scrambled to help evacuate 150 properties in the Somerset flooding danger zone as David Cameron set up a £100million emergency fund to assist communities in coping with the crisis.
Winds of 105mph were recorded on the Isles of Scilly, off Cornwall while one pub in Chesil Beach, Dorset was completely submerged by a giant 60ft wave.
This is a very destructive and powerful storm heading towards the UK
The latest storms saw Dawlish in Devon bear the brunt of the damage – with shocked locals claiming it felt like "the end of the world".
Resident Robert Parker said: "It was like an earthquake.
"I've been in some terrible storms in the North Sea but last night was just a force of nature."
Another local, Jeff Deacon, added: "This is surreal. I've never seen anything like this. There's debris all over the road – it's like a war zone."
A 100ft stretch of seawall in the town collapsed into the swirling waters, leaving the railway line hanging in mid-air.
The damage sparked chaos for travellers as First Great Western were forced to halt the busy Penzance-to-Exeter service.
Patrick Hallgate, from Network Rail, said it could take four to six weeks to repair the track, which is the main rail link between south Devon and Cornwall.
Dozens of homes were evacuated across the South West as seawalls crumbled away – and two people trapped in their car had to be dragged to safety by firefighters.
Many thousands of homes in the West Country were left without power. Devon councillor John Clatworthy said it was the "worst damage seen for more than a century".
He added: "The storm was unbelievable. It is not just Dawlish that is affected, this railway line is to Plymouth, the naval bases, Cornwall – it is a lifeline."
The monster seas included some of the biggest waves recorded around the world. Swells of up to 75ft were seen off the coast before hitting Penzance in Cornwall.
And waves of 40ft lashed the coast around Sennen, the UK's most westerly parish.
But forecasters warned that worse is to come over the next few days – with another weather front hurling towards us across the Atlantic at speeds of up to 150mph.
Almost three inches of rain is set to fall in the next 72 hours with forecasters issuing Level-2 severe warnings for torrential downpours across the South every day until Saturday. The main threat from tomorrow comes from a deep Atlantic low-pressure system hurtling towards the UK.
The Met Office has warned it will have a "significant" impact and cautioned people against using coastal paths and roads.
The heavy rain and gales forecast over the next three days look set to worsen the current flooding crisis.
Chief meteorologist Andy Page said: "Further spells of heavy and persistent rain will affect southern parts of England and south Wales from Thursday afternoon until Friday morning, and again from late Friday evening until early Saturday followed by frequent heavy showers.
"Gales will accompany the rain on Saturday with severe gales likely for exposed coasts in south-west England. The public should be prepared for disruption due to flooding."
Jonathan Powell, from Vantage Weather Services, said gusts could hit 100mph this weekend.
He added: "This is a very destructive and powerful storm heading towards the UK, capable of felling trees and damaging buildings."
The Environment Agency yesterday issued nine severe flood warnings, which indicate "danger to life".
There are 64 flood warnings and more than 200 flood alerts in place with the flood-hit South and South-west still most at risk.
The EA said 328 homes have flooded since Friday and warned more heavy rain, strong winds and waves threaten further misery.
In Brighton, a major part of the historic West Pier collapsed after being battered by winds of up to 70mph and rough seas.
Main supports on the eastern side of the structure, which was shut in 1975 after being deemed unsafe, washed away splitting the former pavilion into two sections.
An elderly woman was rescued from her car after it was trapped in flood water near Watermouth, North Devon.
Mr Cameron yesterday chaired an emergency Cobra meeting to discuss the floods.
Environment, Food and Rural Affairs minister Owen Patterson has faced criticism over his handling of the crisis. But the Prime Minister's spokesman said: "The Secretary of State is doing an excellent job."
Elsewhere in the UK it was a chillier picture as heavy snow hit Scotland. Glenshee Ski Centre in the southern Cairngorms was buried under 33ft snow drifts – six times deeper than the slopes at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

Features Editor of The Argus Jakki Phillips recalls seeing Robbie Williams in panto.
She said: "It's not often you get to see a pop legend like Robbie Williams on stage at the Theatre Royal - particularly in panto.
"It was back in 2000 when I was the entertainments reporter at The Argus. I was leaving work at about 7pm and just as I was packing my bag and shutting down my computer, the phone rang and someone said "I can't tell you my name but I've just heard that Robbie Williams will be making a guest appearance in Aladdin at the Theatre Royal tonight".
"I instantly grabbed a camera then phoned the box office to find out what time the show started and if I could get a ticket.
"The only seat they had was literally in the last row of the highest circle behind a pillar and to top things off, the panto started at 7.30pm which meant I only had half an hour to get from Hollingbury into Brighton, park and grab my tickets.
"Needless to say I was very stressed and red faced by the time I sprinted up to the box office but while I was catching my breath in the queue, a very kind man asked if I would like a ticket.
"His daughter's friend was ill and so he had a spare - in the second row! I took my seat, which was in the middle of the row, and as the lights dimmed, I started chatting to the woman next to me who turned out to be from a local blind organisation and all the people between me and the aisle were blind.
"I told her that a famous pop star was due to be making a surprise appearance and that as soon as he walked on stage I would need to jump up and dash to the aisle so I could run to the stage and take a photo.
"She said that she wouldn't be able to see when the pop star walked on stage so we hatched a plan that I would squeeze her arm and she would pass that squeeze along all her blind friends and they would all stand up so I could dash out, grab a photo and then dash back to my seat. It all worked like a dream.
"Robbie came on and sang She's The One while Robin Cousins roller bladed around the stage, very surreal, and I got my exclusive for the next day's paper.
"Robbie made another surprise appearance on Boxing Day but no one recognised him because he was dressed in a monkey suit."

In just a couple of hours on a recent Friday, students and staff at San Marcos High School managed to help provide 17,200 meals for North County's needy.
That's what $4,300 will do for North County Community Services' Food Bank, and that's how much was raised at the school's eighth annual Empty Bowls event March 28.
"For every dollar the food bank receives, we can turn that into four meals," food bank director Michael Lawson said.
Empty Bowls is a grass-roots effort to end hunger. At San Marcos High, ceramics students led by teacher Brady Stout, hand-craft bowls that are filled with food and sold for $10 to students, staff and guests during the lunchtime event. Additional school programs such as woodworking and agriculture contributed items for sale, too, such as handmade cutting boards and plants.
In an effort to produce additional dishes in the final stretch before the Empty Bowls day, Stout organized a "Midnight Bowling" event where students made bowls from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.
This year's community donors included the San Marcos locations of Sonic, Rubio's, Panera Bread, O's American Kitchen, Papa Bambino's and Cocina del Charro. The school's parent-teacher organization, staff members and students also contributed food and support, organizers said.
Stout estimates than more than 350 people attended this year. Among the guests were Superintendent Kevin Holt and school board members Pam Lindamood, Beckie Garrett, Janet McClean and Jay Petrek.
Lawson praised Stout's efforts in organizing the campus to unite for such a good cause, noting that the food bank provided about 2.1 million pounds of food — 1.7 million meals — to needy North County residents last year.
Stout started Empty Bowls at San Marcos High in 2007 after reading an article about the effort sent to him by his mother from her local newspaper in Davis. Empty Bowls was started in 1990 by a ceramics teacher in Michigan in 1990 and has evolved into a global effort, Stout said.
"I presented the idea to my classes and they got really excited about the opportunity to use their ceramics skills to contribute to the greater good in our community," he said. "It is one of the only events I can think of on our campus that brings together district office personnel, the school board members, administration, teachers and students for a common cause."
Empty Bowls has grown steadily every year at San Marcos High, raising $15,600 over the years for North County food banks.
San Marcos High is not alone in its anti-hunger efforts. Mission Hills High School also holds an Empty Bowls event to benefit North County's Food Bank. During the Grizzlies' lunch Thursday, handmade ceramic bowls will be filled with pasta prepared by the school's culinary arts students. Cost is $10.
Mission Hills' Empty Bowl project, now in its fourth year, is led by ceramics instructor Tim Benson and culinary arts instructor Robert Sayne.
Benson said his goal this year was to produce 200 bowls, after selling out for the first time last year. He tried something new to increase production, opening up the bowl-making to non-ceramics students and staff members. Benson held "bowl-a-thon" events on two Saturdays, giving participants a whirlwind introduction to ceramics, with his students as team leaders. More than 100 people participated.
Benson is encouraged by the increased turnout for the Empty Bowls lunch: "I want kids to buy them. The bowl is a reminder of why we do the event."

Corbin was arrested. Her bond is set at $781.
Later Monday night, Hicks was arrested on South Kings Highway.
She also faces a Prostitution charge and is being held on $781 bond.

One last look at 2012 congressional fundraising and spending numbers
WASHINGTON — Today was the last major deadline for candidates to report fundraising and spending totals for the 2012 election, so we've got one last look at where things stood money-wise on Nov. 6.
I've already covered Michele Bachmann (the Cliff Notes: she raised $15 million for her re-election campaign, spent $4 million in the last month, and paid down most of the debt from her presidential campaign), but here are some highlights from the rest of the state:
- Between Oct. 1 and Nov. 26, Republican Rep. Chip Cravaack spent twice as much ($1.6 million) as challenger Rick Nolan ($800,000), en route to a 9-point loss on Election Day. Cravaack also doubled-up Nolan in the total raised column ($2.4 million to $1.2 million).
- Speaking of Nolan, he took on $75,000 worth of debt over the last month of the campaign. More than half of that ($41,000) comes from "win bonuses" owed to campaign operatives.
- Thanks to a more moderate district and a stronger, better-funded opponent than he's used to, Rep. John Kline spent more than twice as on his 2012 campaign as he did in 2010. He won by 8.2 points — a comfortable margin, but also the slimmest of his career.
- While we're talking about campaign finance, something extraordinary happened this cycle: Barack Obama and Mitt Romney (and their allied party committees and supporting super PACs) both raised more than $1 billion to wage their presidential campaigns. That made 2012 the most expensive presidential election ever.
So, here's a brief look at Minnesota's congressional incumbents and their money situation:
Tim Walz raised $2 million this cycle and spent $1.7 million on his campaign. Walz has $128,000 in the bank for a run in 2014 — a much better position than he found himself in after the 2010 elections, when he ended the campaign in debt. Walz won by 15 points over Republican Allen Quist.
John Kline has more than $550,000 on hand, a tally he can transfer to a potential U.S. Senate campaign in 2014 (Kline has been mentioned as a potential challenger to Sen. Al Franken. His advisers say he's keeping his options open). Kline spent $1.7 million on his re-election campaign, $1.1 million more than challenger Mike Obermueller.
Erik Paulsen is also considered a potential statewide candidate in 2014. He has more than $770,000 on hand, the largest sum of any Minnesotan not named Michele Bachmann.
Franken, for the record, had more than $1 million in the bank at the end of September, the most recent information available on the Federal Elections Commission website.
Betty McCollum was the only congressional incumbent in Minnesota to raise less than $1 million. She had a 30-point margin of victory, proving (as if you needed proof) that money isn't generally important if you're a Democrat running for Congress in St. Paul.
Keith Ellison raised nearly $2 million on his way to a 49-point victory over Republican challenger Chris Fields. Ellison was the most generous Minnesota Democrat, transferring more than $384,000 from his account to other candidates and campaign committees over the course of the election. (Fields had hit him for such donations periodically throughout the campaign).
Michele Bachmann has $2.1 million on hand, so she already has a major fundraising advantage over any potential challengers in 2014. DFL challenger Jim Graves finished with $471,000 in the bank (and $290,000 in debt, mostly due to loans Graves himself gave to his campaign).
Thanks to Bachmann's fundraising prowess, the 6th District race was the most expensive in Minnesota (in terms of candidate spending), and among the most expensive in this country this cycle (note that OpenSecrets counts Bachmann's presidential spending as well, skewing their numbers a bit). In 2010, she ran the most expensive House campaign ever, raising $13.5 million. She raised nearly $1.5 million more than that in 2012.
Collin Peterson has $41,000 on hand going into 2014, a paltry amount for a House incumbent, but Republicans have struggled to find credible challengers to take him on. Peterson defeated Republican Lee Byberg by 25.5 points, his second double-digit victory over Byberg in as many cycles.
Rick Nolan, given his recently incurred debt, finished the 2012 election cycle in the red: he has $67,600 on hand, and is $75,700 in debt. Defeated Rep. Chip Cravaack raised $2.4 million total and spent $1.6 million of it over the last two months, but he ended the race with $34,000 in the bank. He can use that money to finance future campaigns, donate it to charity, transfer it to other candidates or party committees, or refund it to his donors.
Combined, Nolan and Cravaack spent $3.5 million in the 8th District — far less than the $9.3 million outside groups spent there. The 8th garnered the third-most outside spending of any House district in the country this year.

Warbirds fly for open day
The day that America entered World War II will be marked at a special event at Ardmore Airfield on Sunday.
At 7.55am on December 7, 1941, hundreds of Japanese planes unleashed bombs and torpedoes on to United States military ships and planes based at Pearl Harbour in Hawaii. Nearly 2400 Americans were killed and 1180 injured when the taskforce of carrier-based Japanese fighter aircraft bombed and sank 12 naval vessels and heavily damaged nine others.
The USS Arizona, which sank in less than nine minutes after a bomb breached its deck and exploded in its ammunition magazine, lost 1177 sailors and marines.
The attack triggered the United States' entry into World War II and was the start of a long, hard-fought Pacific campaign that culminated in victory over Japan in 1945.
To mark the 71st anniversary of the attack, the New Zealand Warbirds Association is holding a Warbirds Open Day at its Ardmore base on Sunday.
The guest of honour will be a recently restored de Havilland Mosquito KA114 - the only fully serviceable aircraft of its type in the world.
Depending on weather, the rare plane will be part of three flying display routines along with other rare planes including a P40 Kittyhawk, Spitfire, Tiger Moth and P51 Mustang.
Police, fire and St John will show their skills and Ardmore-based flying clubs will be present. Vintage machinery, jeeps and military re-enactors will feature as well as an obstacle course for the kids.
Food and amusements will be also available.
The $10 cash entry fee will go towards the continuing development of the aviation library and hangar display in the Warbirds visitor centre - and every entry will go in the draw for a flight in a Warbirds aircraft.
The open day runs from 10am to 4pm. Flying routines are at 10.30am, 12.30pm and 2.30pm. Display commentary will be broadcast on Warbirds 88.2 FM.

My N4 got bricked, the problem seems to be the battery because when plug in to the AC charger the LED blinks red and nothing else happens, other members have the same problem.
There is few post about it
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2050811
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2011328
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2048066
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2077331
So after try everything my nexus 4 seems to be dead, I decide to RMA but I don't know some details, and maybe you can help me
First, what I think I have to do:
I live out of USA, so I shipped my N4 to my cousin, he was who bought the N4, when he get my N4 then he will do the steps that Google tell him.
My doubt is:
1 - My bootloader is unlocked when my N4 start with the issue, perhaps Google can not turn on the device and be aware of it because the phone is fried, so if they can not detect that the bootloader is unlocked my RMA is free? (Assuming you have the bootloader unlocked means forfeiting RMA)
2- If they detect that my bootloader is unlocked, they will ignore this? Google will send me a replacement device? Although i going to be charged again (Assuming that Google is left with the charge of money they make to your account which remain in hold)
3- The replacement device is now yours? Or is just four use while Google check the original device?
4- How long take the whole process ?
So, this is all my questions by the moment, thank you and sorry for bad english, I used a little bit of Google Traductor.

I see the permission for folder wp-content/uploads is 755. Actually it should be enough. But in the reality, it doesn't work.

Why 2017 is the year of the plus-size supermodel
Casey Russell | Feature Editor
We haven't seen the craze of the supermodel since the 1990s with legendary faces like Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Gisele Bundchen and Kate Moss plastered all over every magazine or campaign and walking in every major runway show in the world. But history tends to repeat itself, and now in 2017 a rebirth of the modern day "social" supermodels have taken the spotlight. For example, the "Big Three," comprised of Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid.
Within the past year, the narrative of what it means to be a supermodel has taken a turn. The ideal model of yesterday was 5'10, thin and had sculpted cheek bones. But now, the fashion world seems to be more open when it comes to body diversity. It might be too soon to make a total call, but this year could be the year of the plus-size supermodel.
Already, two plus-size models have snagged major magazine covers — Ashley Graham on British Vogue and Iskra Lawrence on Self. It's not often that two plus-size models have landed on the cover of major magazines at the same time and on different continents. This seems to be proof that on a global scale, the fashion industry is taking notice of the progressive changes of diverse women in fashion.
The label "plus-size" model dates back to the early 20th century. By the late 1920s, clothes were mainly made at home or by a tailor. It wasn't until the boom in industrial growth that the mass creation of garments created advertising and the sizing scale. Women who did not meet the straight and slender figure of the time were deemed stout. In 1922, the popular women's clothing brand Lane Bryant introduced the term "plus," referring to clothing which was then coined in advertisements as "Miss Plus Sizes." The term eventually turned into the familiar term — plus-size.
The demand for more body-friendly clothing is increasingly prominent in department stores. The same goes for the demand in diverse body sizes in the media and the fashion industry. With this demand comes the desire to modify the labels given to women above a size 10. The fashion evolution over the past century has turned "plus-size" into a noun. In the past, the term had been used to describe clothes.
The fight for plus-size inclusion is not about discriminating the well-known modern models of today, but rather to have a melting pot of size. Although it has taken decades for plus-size models to make their mark in the fashion world, some have defeated stigmas that said they could never rival the top models of today.
In 2011, the late Vogue Italia Editor-in-Chief Franca Sozzani made history and raised eyebrows by putting three plus-size models in lingerie on the cover of the magazine's June issue. Being the mother of all Vogue magazines, people took notice of the risky cover art for Vogue Italia and furthered the conversation of body diversity in the industry.
Designers such as Jean-Paul Gaultier, John Galliano and Christian Siriano have taken note and included plus-size models in their shows. Siriano, for example, dedicated his entire New York Fashion Week show to having women of all sizes present his clothes on his runway. Conversation then turned into action as models such as Campbell, Lawrence and Graham continue to carry the banner for plus-size models in the industry this past year.
Graham rebelled with the rest of the world's top supermodels in 2016, landing possibly every major magazine known today: Maxim, Glamour, Self, Cosmopolitan, Elle, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and, maybe most historically, her appearance as the first ever plus-size model to land on the Sports Illustrated cover.
Although much of the world has been celebrating Graham landing her British Vogue cover, there were several major designers who refused to provide clothes for the 28-year-old's cover shoot.
Heading into 2017 with models like Graham and Lawrence only makes this progress something to look forward to. The industry seems to be looking to make size diversity a rule, not an exception.
Modeling agencies, designers and magazines are opening their doors to a variety of women, but including one plus-size model on a runway does not make for a diverse fashion industry. Rather, celebrating all body types that make the fashion industry what it is today will make for a more welcoming industry and communicate a message that the fashion industry is an empire of art that celebrates beauty of all types.

Personally, I've got one issue, and if you'd like to clear it up, that'd be great, but if not, that's your prerogative. Certain people are saying that you threatened to sue use Perl because of certain things that were said on it.
Now that's entirely inappropriate, because use Perl does not exert any control over the content created by its users. I don't know if there have been any submissions on the subject, but you will note that not a single front page article about the tussle has occured. You should well know that individual users control and are responsible for their journal entries and comments.
It's further inappropriate because of the age old adage: "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." How can somebody saying something cause you harm? If it is untrue, refute it. If it is merely opinion, point that out. Threatening to sue is ludicrous, and if you're going to sue, threatening the owner of the room in which the conversation occurred rather than the conversant is even more ludicrous. This is just a big empty room where people can talk. Address the talking, not the room.
Now the CDBI mailing list was your room, so you had plenty of right to kick out anyone you wanted. And I might concede you had some right to sue someone who continued to attempt to break into the room. But I think you would have been better served by looking for a technological solution to the problem. And I don't think you get any say over who comes into this room, use Perl.
I'm with the previous poster who said your dignified silence is not helping matters much. I'll note that pudge hasn't published any private correspondence between him and you, but he has given you permission to do so. If you want to clear up the rumors about you allegedly suing use Perl, that'd be great. And if you did the wrong thing and want to say "never mind," or let the issue quietly fade into obscurity, I think that'd be great, too.
