'A Gun To Ride The River With' — The Cult Of The Revolver
September 23, 2020 , by JimC
The Smith & Wesson Brothers — a 686 in .38SPL/.357 Magnum and a 617 in .22LR. Accompanied by the Becker BK 9.
I'm a revolver man.
My EDC pistol is a slick-sided, striker-fired, light-weight, high-capacity polymer-framed 9mm semi-automatic for all the reasons that it should be. But if I'm carrying a belt gun out in the woods, it's the S&W 686 stoked with six 158 grain .357 Magnum loads. Or if I want to do a little stump shooting, it's the little brother, my 10-shot S&W 617 .22 LR.
The revolver is a classic weapon of the frontier. The Texas Rangers under Jack Hays adopted Sam Colt's invention early, appropriating a consignment that had been purchased by the fledgling Texas Navy, but never issued. The five-shot revolver changed the tactical dynamics in the Rangers' running fights with the Comanche.
Texas Ranger Samuel Walker proposed improvements to make the fragile implement more robust, resulting in the massive and powerful six-shot 1847 Walker Colt. And with that, the template was set.
The big, bad Walker Colt.
I was working in the firearms trade at Pachmayr in Pasadena, California, during the early days of the final transition away from revolvers toward the high-capacity semi-auto pistol. Despite a fair number of Jeff Cooper acolytes who insisted on the merits of the 1911 Colt Automatic Pistol and some devotees of the Browning Hi-Power (what the SAS ran), most gunslingers I knew were still devoted to the revolver.
We sold a whole bunch of Smith and Wesson Model 19s (Bill Jordan's fave), S&W 586/686; and Colt Pythons with their gorgeous deep blueing and eye-watering price tags. The snub-nosed S&W 642 was tremendously popular for a pocket or purse gun, although obtaining a carry permit in California was basically impossible.
The revolver vs. auto debate was heated and the revolver men held the high ground. Autoloaders jam. Revolvers are more reliable, etc. The FBI one-shot stop report favored the .357 Magnum 125-grain HP by a huge margin over any other round….
But the tide was turning. Pop culture played its part, as it often does. Just as Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry single-handedly created a market for the S&W N-Frame .44 Magnum, Mel Gibson's 1987 smash Lethal Weapon made the Beretta 92 hot and sexy. The U.S. Military had already adopted it, as had some police departments, but the movie popularized it. In the hands of Martin Riggs, the Beretta was presented as something of a superweapon. Danny Glover's stodgy old detective Roger Murtagh still carried a revolver, but the badass Special Forces veteran warrior wielded a REAL weapon. And he could shoot a smiley face in a target at 75 feet with it, so…
Here's the scene that sold a thousand (plus) Berettas:
That beefy Beretta 92 fit my hand well, but I never particularly liked it. Our local indoor range (where the target shooting scene in Lethal Weapon was filmed, BTW) reported frequent slide-stop breakage after just a few thousand rounds. Not good. How the Beretta beat out the Sig Sauer P226 for the U.S. military contract is beyond me.
Speaking of the Sig… The P226 and the more compact P228 are the only semi-auto pistols that truly seduced me. Well, I did have a pretty big crush on a Kimber 1911 once. Sigh… The P226 came into my hand like it was custom made for me, and I shot it very well. It was too expensive for my budget, though, and I've never owned one.
Besides, I had my Smith & Wesson 586, bought (extremely lightly) used for a song within my first week at Pachmayr. This was also the era when Glock was first really making inroads into U.S. gun culture. Most of us scorned the "plastic gun" that terrorists could smuggle through metal detectors (they couldn't), and who needs 17 rounds when 6 125-grain HP rounds will more than do the job (see FBI report)?
There were some enthusiastic adopters though, including one very nerdy, bespectacled Asian guy who worked at the nearby Cal Tech in polymer technology. He loved the things, of course, and bought one in every caliber and configuration we could order for him. He told us it was the pistol of the future, and we thought he was just a science geek and what did he know?
My friend and store co-manager Mark Hogan was a revolver man, too. Until the day he was invited to shoot a tactical course with the Pasadena PD, which had recently gone from the venerable .S&W Model 10 .38 to a semi-auto (don't remember what flavor; probably the Beretta). Mark ran his revolver. He came back and said, basically, "Sorry, but revolvers are over." Magazine capacity — and, more importantly, the ability to reload quickly and smoothly — rendered the six-shot revolver and speed loaders obsolete. Nothing like experiencing reality in action.
I've had that experience myself. My S&W 686 (my editor gave me the stainless version of the .357 Magnum as a bonus early in my freelancing career at The Nugget) is NOT an adequate modern tactical pistol. Not even close. The big revolver hangs up on seatbelts and such, and an average magazine change is quicker than a fast speedload. As it turns out, more rounds is mo' better, and modern bullet design and materials cleaned up the ballistic performance issues that used to plague the 9mm.
OK, fine. I've adapted. I'm STILL a revolver man.
Not that I require validation for what must now be considered mostly an aesthetic choice, but I was most pleased (hat tip to the I'm With Roscoe Facebook page) to stumble upon an enduring European Cult of the Revolver.
From the online magazine The Drive:
The Groupe d'Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale, better known by its abbreviated name GIGN, which translates to National Gendarmerie Intervention Group in English, remains France's premier counter-terrorism and hostage rescue unit. Since its founding shortly after the terrorist acts in Munich in 1973, GIGN has risen to prominence among the world's counter-terrorism community. But one piece of gear in particular not only differentiates the unit from others, but it is also deeply ingrained in its lore and tradition—the revolver, and in particular, the French-built Manurhin MR73.
While it is available in several calibers, the classic MR73 chambering is .38SPL/.357 Magnum. I've never seen a Manurhin in the wild, but it is a legendary piece. The cylinder chambers are hardened to handle ridiculous pressures, giving the revolver the repute of being the strongest available. Like the magnificent German Korth revolver, the trigger is adjustable in both double action and single action, without negatively affecting the spring and the hammer strike.
The MR73 is reportedly capable of remarkable accuracy.
You know that the cockles of my heart warm at the use of words like "lore and tradition." This bit of Continuity & Persistence pleases me:
The revolvers are issued to each GIGN member for symbolic reasons as well as utilitarian ones. A passage from a 2014 issue of the official Gendarmerie information magazine states:
"Respect of human life and fire discipline have always been taught to group members since inception, and each new member is traditionally issued with a 6 shot .357 revolver as a reminder of these values."
The Drive piece lists a number of tactical advantages of the revolver, which basically track with the classic ones: Revolvers go bang almost perfectly reliably, they're hard-hitting, and they don't have a slide that can hang up in tight quarters. But, honestly, you have to stretch a bit to identify a circumstance where a revolver is clearly superior to a semi-auto pistol.
Clearly, GIGN sees it as a lightsaber of sorts — an elegant weapon whose time may have largely passed for all but the most capable operators. But for those who can employ it with extreme efficiency, it still remains a potent, if not superior in some respects, tool for many applications.
Lightsaber, eh? I may have different cultural touchpoints, but that's a nice illustration. For me, the revolver is like the 1952 Vincent Black Lightning motorcycle in the great Richard Thompson song:
Nortons and Indians and Greeves just won't do
They don't have a soul like a Vincent '52
As Justin Carroll, a MARSOC veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan and founder of the website RevolverGuy.com put it, the Smith & Wesson 686 is a gun "to ride the river with."
Justin Carroll's piece on the S&W 686 "A Gun To Ride The River With" is illustrated by the revolver and another of my favorite implements: a Becker knife. Obviously Justin Carroll is a brilliant guy.
When they light my pyre on a longship and push me off on the long night journey down the river, I wish to be accompanied thus: My Breedlove guitar; my Baldwin hat; my CZ rifle; my CZ side-by-side shotgun; my Becker BK 9; my Wetterlings woodsman's hatchet — and my Smith & Wesson 686 revolver.
Those .357 magnum rounds should be cooking off any second now…

Paul McNamee says
The muzzle loader gave way to the breach loader (a bit) gave way to magazines and multi-shot options …
I guess eventually we'll arrive at ray pistols, and TASERs that don't require a wire running back to the weapon, and they'll all think the automatic lead throwers are passé.
Mike Lazarus says
Nice work. Enjoyed reading this. Rullman will likely affirm my preoccupation with past technologies in this field. I initially picked up a revolver as a training tool. If one wants to perfect trigger press, a 12 pound double action represents a desirable difficulty to move closer to that end. However, I've fallen into the rabbit hole. We now offer a Revolver Only class. Interest has been picking up, despite limited offerings of this class.
JimC says
"We now offer a Revolver Only class."
This makes me happy.
Kevin Bates says
Two of my absolute favorite revolvers (686 4″ / 617 4″)! Thanks for a great article.
Appreciate it Kevin. Welcome to the campfire.
Eric G Landkamer says
One could also surmise that revolvers are a continuation of "The Riddle of Steel". My Grandfather was a revolver man, my Father was a revolver man. Thus I was born a revolver man. My favorite is my Granddads K22 Smith&Wesson. But my go to, is a S&W 657. Love that 41mag don't ya know.
Ugly Hombre says
Theres not much a double action centerfire revolver won't do.
If your not a cop or a soldier- a six shot, .357/38, a .41 mag .44 special, 45 ACP- Colt, Smith & Wesson or Ruger revolver may be all you need.
Easy and safe to use, easy to teach with, can leave one loaded for years with no problems, no safety to disengage, intuitive to use, can get power levels far beyond most automatics- etc. many great aspects about them. Very skilled shooters like Clint Smith etc still favor them.
I recently ran into a young shooter at the base rifle range he had a Smith 586, he had studied it, researched it, figured out the way to go was the .357 D/A route for his first hand gun.
"I looked at guns for a long time- many good points on this choice I thought- the more I considered it- better it seemed to fit me".
A very savvy young shooter- he was hitting dead on as well. Pretty sure that Smith won't be his last handgun. But it might be his favorite one.
Don't have any polymer pistols I know they are good- reliable, cheap, easy to replace, fast etc. But that's not me. To me, the kings of the handgun world are- the Colt SAA, the Smith N frame, and old slab sides the 1911.
Both .41 Magnum and .44 Special are underappreciated. Don't really know why the .41 never took off. I knew several guys who were downright evangelical about the .44 Spl.
Another fun thing about revolvers is the availability of Lever guns in the same caliber. Oh so much fun!
Quixotic Mainer says
My mother's house gun is a .44 special, she shoots it very well too. I usually reference that when I hear people whine about controlling recoil.
"Both .41 Magnum and .44 Special are underappreciated"
You are right. One thing about the 41 when it came out it was supposed to be a police round, Skeeter, Bill Jordon, and Elmer were involved in getting it made. But according to what I was told the factory ammo was loaded to bear killing levels. While the gun and round was directed at cop use and self defense originally- though it can by loaded up hot of course.
https://www.fototime.com/BE94F5084366E18/orig.jpg
Yep, the 44 special has quite a cult following, "44 Associates" etc. I have one and like it a lot, in the case of the .44, the factory ammo was weak as hell. Reverse of the .41 iirc. Elmer and other 20's and 30's serious revolver men took it up to its potential with hand loads.
In the Colt SAA, the cylinder walls in the .45 Colt are paper thin, that's why many thumb buster fans love the 44 and seek it out. Elmer blew up a lot of 45 Colts until he discovered the potential of the .44 Special.
https://revivaler.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/The-Smith-Wesson-Model-29-the-.44-Magnum-and-Elmer-Keith-7-gunsandammo.com_.jpg
Its a super round imo, wish more people would discover it and there would be more demand for it so factory ammo prices would fall, no room for a reloading set up un the rude hut.
The old .44 40 is much sought after as well by the traditional type cowboy revolver shooters its near the same as the .44 and a powerful round esp considering its age. I would jump on one if I found a good one and had the pesos.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.41_Remington_Magnum
Here's the history of the .41 Mag If anyone is interested. Elmer originally seemed to want a upgrade to the old .41 Colt round. The ".41 Special" but it took off and went the magnum route.
"In 1963, Elmer Keith and Bill Jordan, with some help from Skeeter Skelton, petitioned Smith & Wesson, Remington, and Norma to produce a pistol and ammunition in .41 caliber which would fall between the extant .357 Magnum and .44 Magnum cartridges in ballistic performance, and at the same time address perceived shortcomings with those loads.[1] While as early as 1955 Keith had suggested a new, medium-powered ".41 Special" cartridge, this idea was passed over in favor of the higher-powered "Magnum" option, and the Special survives only as a custom wildcat cartridge, bearing roughly the same relation to the .41 Remington Magnum as the .38 Special does to the .357 Magnum and as the .44 Special does to the .44 Magnum."
Probly some .41 Magnum shooters can give more info.
J .R. Winton says
Good article. I don't agree with every point made, but I recognize the logic of them.
I grew up around my maternal grandfather; a former southwestern lawman… and a dedicated revolver man who had "shot for blood" and had no use for what he dismissed as "bottom feeders". He saw autos as intrinsically unreliable, had seen them fail when the chips were down, and had an unfailing faith in the reliability of a good sixgun (though he did carry a toothbrush with him everywhere he went, so he could brush out the extractor star and the ejector rod housing should they become fouled with dust).
I spent time in law enforcement, and I've owned the high-speed, low-drag tacticool semi-autos… and now that I'm out of that field, I find myself taking much more personal pleasure and satisfaction out of carrying revolvers. When I have a good run on the range in a combat drill, I can almost feel my grandfather standing off my shoulder with a smile, and can hear him say: "Well done, young man."
Interestingly, with a shot-timer to test it, I find I'm a hair faster out of the holster, and faster to first shot on the target, with a DA revolver; provided the grips fit my hand and the action is tuned to be good and smooth. My grandfather used to say, "He who lands the first good, hard punch generally wins the fight." So, with that in mind… I carry a revolver. I do hedge my bets when it comes to the reload; I just carry a second, lightweight revolver as a backup. Though there are statistical outliers, the overwhelming majority of street fights are over in six shots or less (often much less) provided the defender places his shots well; so, to me, the high capacity of a semi-auto isn't as important as the reliability and speed the revolver provides me.
Oh, don't think I don't like autos. I own more than one 1911 and I have a couple of high-cap Berettas and definitely see the merits they bring to the table. Modern autos are far more reliable than the autos of my grandfather's day and I recognize that. Part of my choice is a personal, "cult of the revolver" one: I just like them and appreciate their simplicity and aesthetic appearance… and that's good enough for me.
Outstanding. Thank you.
I think that unspoken "because" that people reach for when they justify the round gun is handling and pointability. With a pistol, how it fits your hand and how naturally they swing and move is not to be discounted, much like a fine shotgun on clays or flying birds. I hunted with six guns, and competed in quick draw and SASS long before my profession put me in an arranged marriage with Austrian battle plastic. I can do finer work with my revolver, but I can do more work with the G19, they're just different tools.
"my profession put me in an arranged marriage with Austrian battle plastic."
That made me laugh.
Miguel Rodriguez says
Jim, imagine your feelings if you take the next step and discover a single action army pattern revolver such as Colt or clone, or the excellent Ruger New Vaquero in 45 Colt or 44 Special with a 4.75 or 4.6 inch barrels. Lighter, handier than the 686 (of your configuration) and more fun to shoot.
Oh, I know it…..
J.F. Bell says
The first handgun I ever bought with own money was a 1937 Brazilian Smith & Wesson contract. I was looking for a 1917, but even in those days the market for First World War holdovers was already pretty tightly closed to a mostly-broke college kid. Enter the Saxet Gun Show and a guy with a table of mostly trash – and, incidentally, a beat-to-hell heavy-framed Smith with a lanyard ring.
The thing looked like it'd gone a couple of rounds inside an unbalanced washing machine with a couple of handfuls of scrap iron. There was nothing recognizable as finish anywhere. The grips were those blocky 1980s S&W service horror shows; you need gorilla fingers to get all the way around, and if you could do that you realize they still sucked.
Weirdly, the lockup was good and the bore was pristine. Go figure. Of greater import, our intrepid seller had discerned that the crest on the sideplate was Brazilian, and this was in fact a cheap South American clone. The Smith & Wesson markings were pretty good – but, he assured me, hopelessly fake. I didn't argue. I gave him three hundred dollars and hauled ass before he started talking to somebody with a Blue Book.
Still got it. It went though some further mishandling by a gunsmith in Austin who had it for a year and got it back to me in marginally better condition than I'd left it. Eventually it followed me to gunsmithing school and got back where it should have been.
There is something intrinsically magical in chucking .45 auto downrange with a large-frame Smith & Wesson, rust blued, with the old lockwork, and back in its God-given martial guise. They still build them – but not like they used to.
Of course, revolvers are like eating popcorn. You start, and you keep going, and eventually you either run out of money or you die. There may be a third condition that puts and end to it.
I haven't found that one yet.
You write so damn well… What a pleasure.
Thanks, boss. Great having a place I can post stuff like this – and a crowd of similar mindset.
As an aside…you get that last one I sent? I can't recall but I may have used the wrong email.
" If you take the next step and discover a single action army pattern revolver such as Colt or clone, or the excellent Ruger New Vaquero in 45 Colt or 44 Special with a 4.75 or 4.6 inch barrels. Lighter, handier than the 686 (of your configuration) and more fun to shoot."
Miguel is right on, the New Vaquero is a excellent revolver, its just a shade fatter in the cylinder than the Colt with more beef around the charge holes a good thing in .45 imo and the Italians SAA clones are getting better and better according to long time single action army shooters over at the Colt forum. There's near 10000 years of collective single action army experience over in that hang out. A great place to learn about the venerable thumb buster.
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/IPlgWedsess/maxresdefault.jpg
You can get the New Vaquero in 45 Colt with a .45 ACP cylinder a "convertible"- cheap big bore ammo in .45 ACP, power up in .45 Colt, or you can get one or the other in a Birds Head Sheriff's model in one or the other.
Fun as hell.. happy hunting!
Once you get snake bit by the single action bug, no cure is known.. lol
I'll be a devotee of Colt's lockwork until I die, but I have to express a certain admiration for Ruger's bringing the single-action into the modern world.
Back in the day Ruger hit the sweet spot. They build an affordable wheelgun with classic styling that was easy enough to work on at home and – if you were a mind to push the out limits of what could be done with classic cartridges – you damn near couldn't blow one up.
I know a lot of the old hands weren't too excited when the New Vaquero came along. Closer in the lines to the old Colts at the cost of thinner cylinder walls. Per the range gossip these were slightly easier to explode using grizzly rounds, but still pretty tough.
Dave T says
The original 45 Colt (black powder) drove a 255g soft lead bullet at 920 fps from a 7.5″ barreled SAA. There are not many handgun tasks that won't be solved by that level of ballistic performance and the New Vaquero will easily handle loads that do that, even in shorter barrels.
I too am a fan of the Colt lock work but find its truest expression these days in late production USFA single actions. I suspect the Standard Manufacturing guns now being made are pretty close but they don't offer the black powder frame, which I prefer.
There is indeed a cult of the revolver. For me the single action evokes a time when five would do, if you would do.
USFA was top-notch. Fantasy piece or not, I always had a soft spot for their Omnipotent – but I wouldn't have passed on a standard SAA had one drifted my way.
Shame what happened to them. I don't think I've ever seen a gun company implode so drastically or so fast.
Greg Walker says
Truly delightful piece, Jim.
My first revolver for duty carry was a S&W Model 66 .357 (Anchorage Police Department, Anchorage, Alaska) in 1974. Hard-hitting round and absolutely reliable during the winter months where an auto-loader could "freeze up" at -45 and greater below zero.
I came to favor the Browning Hi-Power during this same period. My introduction to this legendary auto-loader came via NYPD detective Frank Serpico's book and follow on film. I later carried an HP while with the 10th Special Forces Group and then the 7th while serving in Latin America.
However, the revolver once again served me well when in 2004 while working as a high risk protection detail leader in Baghdad, Iraq, I came across a beautiful S&W Model 29 .44 Magnum. I carried it on my Tactical Tailor custom made chest rig, upper center chest and at the appropriate cant. The .44 changed minds swiftly when it had to be presented on the streets of that war-torn city – and with a 240-grain round it was an effective "stone breaker" if you will.
Only one other "Old Guy" in Baghdad that I knew – from our days at the Florida Ranger Camp decades earlier – carried a Baghdad-scored revolver. His was a S&W Model 28 .357 in 4″ barrel.
Both of us were dyed in the wool Bill Jordan apostles from way back so that may explain our love for the "wheel gun" even under those extreme circumstances.
Again, delightful and relevant article.
Thx amigo.

Falsifying information – Providing inaccurate information on a mortgage application about income, debt, employment history, intent to occupy the premises, or the value of the home is fraud and is subject to criminal penalties.
Second set of documents – Never sign an addendum or second set of documents that won't be shared with all parties. This could be a warning sign that fraud is being committed.
Bait and switch – Make sure the terms on the mortgage are the terms you agreed to before closing. Do not sign loan documents without reading them and do not be pressured into signing "new deals" at closing.
Documents containing blanks – If information is added after you have signed a document, you may still be responsible. Cross out any blanks or insert "N/A" ("not applicable").
Multiple refinancing – Be careful of refinancing repeatedly after short periods of time. Each refinancing often comes with new fees and possibly prepayment penalties. While these loans may offer lower interest rates and payments, you may be losing your equity or have more debt because refinancing and origination fees are added to the loan.
Borrowing too much – Don't let anyone convince you to borrow more money than you need or more money than you can afford to repay.
Excessive fees – While it is not uncommon for lenders to charge fees for appraisals and credit reports, you should beware of loans with large, non-refundable application fees. Loan costs can be compared by looking at the Good Faith Estimate (GFE) form that all lenders are required to provide to a borrower at time of application. Beware of lenders that don't offer you a GFE to compare costs before you apply for a loan.

It is well-known that there is a close connection between linear functionals on an appropriate Banach space and unbiased estimators. In Section 2 we prove some results concerning unbiased estimation of location and scale parameters. As application of these results we consider the case of Cauchy density with unknown location [scale] but known scale [location] parameter. We show that there exists no unbiased estimator for the location parameter, and none with finite variance for the scale parameters. If the Cauchy density involves both location and scale parameters, then it is shown that neither of these parameters has an unbiased estimator. Some information about other parametric functions is also given. The present results for the location parameter case were obtained previously by H. Pollard; we are grateful to Professor Kiefer for informing us of Pollard's work.

Target Corp says the massive data breach over the holidays helped push its profit down 46 per cent.
The US discount retailer said on Wednesday that sales fell 5.3 per cent as the breach scared off customers.
Target says it earned $US520 million ($A578 million), or 81 cents per share, for the three months that ended February 1. That compares with a profit of $US961 million, or $US1.47 per share, a year earlier.
Revenue fell to $US21.5 billion from $US22.7 billion.
Revenue at stores open at least a year fell 2.5 per cent.
Analysts had expected a profit of 80 cents on revenue of $US21.5 billion, according to FactSet.
The company also offered a profit outlook for the current quarter that is below Wall Street estimates.


Tomcat isn't in RPG because it wasn't written on IBM i.
AFAIK, IBM WAS is Java so comparing it to Tomcat is comparing Java vs. Java.
java would outperform ILE RPG, if you use it in the right way."
I've never heard anyone make that claim, disclaimer notwithstanding.
what do you think why Tomcat is not implemented using RPG???

What is the 30-day challenge, and Why do it?
Ever been laying down on your bed during summer and thinking what can I do today? Well, this is the right place for you to be. Here's something for you to do on your free time. No, it dose not consist on writing essays nor do you need to spend money, but yes, you do need to push yourself. The 30-day challenge consists on doing a certain activity for 30 days or in other words, one month. This challenge was invented for you to do something you don't always have time for, and well.
Their are millions of challenges you can overcome, today. For example, are you the sport type of person? Great! If you love sports, you can try doing a new sport for 30 days, or even, you can try something new in the sport that you love doing. I love swimming, as you may have read previously, because of this, I can try practicing a new stroke for 30 days, or try focusing on my kick or my stroke, as well.
Moreover, are you they type of person who loves to take pictures? Perfect! You can work on something called the 30-day picture challenge. It consists on take one picture a day of something awesome you see. Of course this encourages you to leave your house and start looking! This is what the 30 day challenge is all about, to start something new in your life and start setting some goals!
If you search the web, you are able to find millions of challenges that people doing and even starting today! I find it fascinating because you are the master of you challenge, you have complete autonomy behind your challenge and if you don't want to do it, your the one who's being harmed, not the rest. This world-wide challenge consists on helping people gain human capital, and to let them grow as a person for the best.
This is what I want from you, to start your 30-day challenge. Why? Because I know summer can be awesome for all of us, but what better summer than trying something new and stop watching the months go by!

The eve of the new year is a good time to revisit a few columns from the past year.
In January, it appeared that the end might be near for the Red Brick Tavern, a grand old inn on Rt. 40 in Lafayette. The contents of the hostelry, which is said to have played host to six U.S. presidents, were slated for auction in early February when Madison County residents Cris Cummins and Madonna Christy stepped in and purchased the former stagecoach stop.
Mary Miller, a singer, musician and stand-up comic from Utica, was the subject of a column in November as she began treatment for breast cancer. Miller is currently receiving chemotherapy. She has also laid down the first four tracks for a CD she hopes to complete soon.
Friends have scheduled two benefits to assist Miller, who does not have health insurance. The first is set for 8 p.m. Feb. 10 at the Thirsty Ear Tavern, 1200 W. 3rd Ave., in Columbus. The second is set for 8 p.m. March 4 at the Funny Bone Comedy Club & Cafe at Easton Town Center.
Two days before Christmas, I related the story of a 4-year-old girl named Meredith and a kindly postal employee's efforts to help her cope with the loss of her 14-year-old dog, Abbey.
The story was brought to my attention at the behest of Columbus Postmaster Robin Ware, through her media spokeswoman Kathy Lucas. Although the story of Meredith and Abbey is true, it did not transpire, as I had been told, in the Columbus area.
"I was led to believe it happened here somewhere in central Ohio," Ware said Friday. She said the story had been shared with her by a member of the Postal Council of Central Ohio, a consortium of business mailers and postal employees. Ware passed the story along to Lucas, who contacted me.
"I had no reason to doubt the veracity of the source," Lucas said. "I apologize."
On Veterans Day, my column noted the establishment of a scholarship fund to assist the children of Ohio servicemen and women killed in the war on terror. Founded by Sunbury's American Legion Post 457, the fund was given a strong foundation when American Electric Power donated the initial $15,000.
The fund is administered through the Columbus Foundation, where it has doubled since its establishment, staff member Angela Parsons said Friday.
To contribute to the fund, which should begin awarding scholarships in late 2008, make checks payable to the American Legion Ohio Warriors Scholarship Fund and send them to the Columbus Foundation, 1234 E. Broad St., Columbus, Ohio 43205.

Father who suffered in car wreck may consider personal injury
On Behalf of John Murphy | Dec 4, 2014 | Car Accidents
All it takes is a moment for a person's life to be permanently altered by a car accident. But some may forget that those injured or killed in car accidents are not the only ones suffering — their families often suffer as well. An Ohio father was seriously injured in a collision less than a year after his son was fatally injured in a wreck. Although it is not known if he or his family took any legal action following the death of his son, it is possible that they will now consider a personal injury claim.
At the time of the wreck, the man was driving his pickup truck along State Route 522. It may have been an otherwise typical day for him, until another vehicle veered out of its lane and into oncoming traffic. The pickup truck driver was unable to avoid a collision but said that he saw the oncoming car momentarily veer out of control before straightening out.
It's unclear whether other vehicles were involved or if there were any passengers in the pickup. Three people were killed, and another three were injured. Two of those fatalities were passengers who were tossed from the vehicle whose driver apparently caused the collision, although the driver survived. Additionally, police report that vehicle contained materials used to make meth, which may be taken into consideration during the ongoing investigation.
While no criminal charges have been filed yet, it's not too soon for the victims to consider filing a personal injury claim. Damages from serious car accidents can pile on quickly and include anything from lost wages and medical bills to car repairs and long-term pain and suffering. When some victims in Ohio are better able to focus on their recovery rather than how they will meet their medical bills or daily needs, recovery may be a somewhat easier road to trek. If criminal charges are filed while a personal injury claim is still ongoing, it may be possible to include evidence used for those charges in the victim's civil claim.

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery versus open thymectomy for thymoma: a systematic review
Ashleigh Xie, Richard Tjahjono, Kevin Phan, Tristan D. Yan
Faculty of Medicine, Health and Human Sciences
Background: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) thymectomy is an increasingly utilized alternative to traditional open approaches for the resection of thymomas. Recent studies have suggested comparable survival and oncological efficacy as well as reduced perioperative morbidity when using the VATS approach. This current systematic review thus aimed to critically evaluate existing evidence for the efficacy and safety of VATS versus open (transsternal or transthoracic) thymectomy for thymomas.
Methods: Six electronic databases were searched from their date of inception to April 2015. Relevant studies were identified using specific eligibility criteria and data were extracted and analyzed based on predefined primary and secondary endpoints.
Results: Fourteen comparative observational studies with a total of 1,061 patients were obtained for qualitative assessment, data extraction and analysis. Five-year overall survival and 10-year recurrence-free survival was similar or higher in patients undergoing VATS compared to open thymectomy. On average, the VATS group also demonstrated reduced intraoperative blood loss (131.8 vs. 340.5 mL), shorter hospital stays (7.0 vs. 9.8 days), and lower rates of postoperative pneumonia (1.9% vs. 4.1%). The mean rate of conversion from VATS to open thymectomy was relatively low (3.1%), while 30-day mortality remained low in both the VATS and open groups (0 vs. 0.3%).
Conclusions: The current evidence suggests that VATS thymectomy for thymoma has at least equal if not superior oncological efficacy and survival outcomes, as well as reduced perioperative complications, compared to open surgery. Further adequately powered studies and future randomized trials are required to confirm these findings.

A:
a) The "new"-MQL4.56789 has another syntax
For Custom Indicator, the "new"-MQL4.56789 source shall rather read
void OnInit(){ ... }andvoid OnDeinit( const int anMT4_Reason2callDeinit ){ ... }

b) The datetime
Your code defines a variable new_time, typed as a datetime

The datetime type is intended for storing the date and time as the number of seconds elapsed since January 01, 1970.

and

Values range from 1 January, 1970 to 31 December, 3000

So, in case of your new_time assignment, the proper iTime() value is divided by an amount of PeriodSeconds() and right next it is re-multiplied by the exact same value, which should not change the value of the iTime() result.
Such operation, while having no theoretical impact on result, might in practice of a code-execution introduce a risk of a numerical inaccuracy, range overflow/underflow and a theoretical notice about a resolution of an 8-byte class storage is not helping to go past the upper bound limit, stated in the documentation as Dec-31, 3000.
In similar cases unpredicatable results and even MT4 unhandled exceptions and MQL4-code terminations are to be expected.
What worse one may expect for a production grade software? So, avoid, avoid and avoid any such risk.
There is no direct positive value for such a Custom Indicator calculation step.

c) TimeCurrent() / PeriodSeconds() side-effect of rounding
While iTime() is always divisible by it's "own" time-frame PeriodSeconds(), TimeCurrent() is not.
Thus one may read the original ( assumed ) construct of
TimeCurrent() / PeriodSeconds()   // .DIV is subject to rounding to int
              * PeriodSeconds();  //      before the forthcoming .MUL

"hacks" the need to align a [last known server time, time of the last quote receipt for one of the symbols selected in the "Market Watch" window] to one's "own" time-frame value of a start-of-current bar time.

d) The article is from 11 October 2010 (!) - be very carefull in MQL4
Current MQL4 code-execution engine is Build 890 ( 25 Sep 2015 ), so your cited source was using an MQL5 language syntax some 5 years old (!!), which namely in MQL4-domain means _be_very_carefull_
In the meantime string-s ceased to be string-s,
many GUI functions have several calling protocols in parallel,
andcountless man*years of DLL/API-code-base dev/maint were lost due to similar moving sands.
So -5- years gap is a warning per-se.

One never enters the same river twice

The recent state of "new"-MQL4.56789 allows a clean approach:
in case your motivation is just to be able to detect on-demand a situation a new bar has started, the Build-890/1174 compiler allows for a cleaner approach:
bool aNewBarEVENT(   const string anFxSYMBOL,               // _Symbol,
                     const int    aTimeFRAME                // PERIOD_M6
                     )
{    static int   pBars  = EMPTY;                           // previous
            int   oBars  = iBars( anFxSYMBOL, aTimeFRAME ); // observed

     if (         pBars == oBars ) return( False );         // .NACK
                  pBars  = oBars,  return( True  );         // .UPD + .ACK
}

More than 5,000 cars have been stolen in Chicago so far this year
By FOX 32 Digital Team
Community grieves at vigil for Marine veteran who died in carjacking attempt
Over 200 people gathered to grieve for 72-year-old Keith Cooper, a Vietnam veteran who died in a carjacking attempt near Hyde Park this week.
CHICAGO - New data from the Chicago Police Department shows that more than 5,000 cars have been stolen in the city so far this year.
Police said that as of August 2, 5,486 cars had been stolen in Chicago. That is up 5% over last year at this time. However, it's down significantly from 2017's stolen car numbers:
From January 1 to August 2, 2021: 5,486
"Motor vehicle thefts" includes cars that are unoccupied (parked on the street, for example). Carjackings – when a car is taken by force – are a growing problem in Chicago, with 870 carjackings through July 22. That is up 53 percent from the same period in 2020.
Carjacking epidemic spills into the suburbs
The carjacking epidemic is spilling over into the suburbs as people are reporting a surge in violence in several towns.

Weeks Falls is a waterfall on the south fork of the Snoqualmie River, located near North Bend, Washington, USA, just south of Interstate 90 at exit 38. The falls are at the end of the road that goes past the Olallie State Park ranger headquarters. From the gravel parking lot, there is a paved accessible overlook to see the falls and a small area around the hydro-electric plant. There is also a ¼ mile accessible interpretive trail nearby.

Weeks Falls has a small hydroelectric plant operated by CHI West which generates about 4.3 Megawatts peak. It is unusual because it operates without a dam. Instead, water is being drawn from the river above the falls and run down an underground channel to the generation unit at the bottom of Weeks Falls.

The Tomb of the Iron General
**The Tomb of the Iron general is a dungeon adventure for 4 players of 3rd-4th level, designed to be completed within 4 hours of play. It features orcs, traps, and the angry dead.** The untamed wildlands have reclaimed much of the formerly mighty empire of Gilmarron. All that remains now are crumbling tombs, dilapidated foundations, and whispers of lost glory. "The Iron General", as was his moniker, was a brutal leader within the Gilmarron army. In a suit of black plate and said to be able to destroy entire battalions with salvos of arcane magic, the Iron General struck terror into the hearts of men on the front lines. His fearsome approach to leadership won him many battles for the empire and cemented his place among the lost legends of military history. Buried with the bodies of his most trusted lieutenants, his tomb was hidden away in the cold, wind-swept mountains of present-day Abbotsrijk in an effort to protect it from grave robbers. Now, as warmer climates creep southward and the ice begins to melt, this artifact of history has been uncovered. A band of orcs, pushed north by Abbotsrijk's expansion, have recently stumbled upon the tomb and hope to use it as cover from the cold for a few days. They know little of what lurks within.

Sample: Lost Mine of Phandelver
More than five hundred years ago, clans of dwarves and gnomes made an agreement known as the Phandelver's Pact, by which they would share a rich mine in a wondrous cavern known as Wave Echo Cave. In addition to its mineral wealth, the mine contained great magical power. Human spellcasters allied themselves with the dwarves and gnomes to channel and bind that energy into a great forge (called the Forge of Spells), where magic items could be crafted. Times were good, and the nearby human town of Phandalin (pronounced fan-duh-lin) prospered as well. But then disaster struck when ores swept through the North and laid waste to all in their path. A powerful force of ores reinforced by evil mercenary wizards attacked Wave Echo Cave to seize its riches and magic treasures. Human wizards fought alongside their dwarf and gnome allies to defend the Forge of Spells, and the ensuing spell battle destroyed much of the cavern. Few survived the cave-ins and tremors, and the location of Wave Echo Cave was lost. For centuries, rumors of buried riches have attracted treasure seekers and opportunists to the area around Phandalin, but no one has ever succeeded in locating the lost mine. In recent years, people have resettled the area. Phandalin is now a rough-and-tumble frontier town. More important, the Rockseeker brothers-a trio of dwarves- have discovered the entrance to Wave Echo Cave, and they intend to reopen the mines.

For quite a few years now, people have theorized that Nintendo would never re-release Earthbound in the United States because of licensing issues: the quirky RPG takes music from Chuck Berry and The Beatles, among other artists.
But! Earlier this week, Nintendo announced plans to finally bring their Super Nintendo classic to the Wii U's Virtual Console. So we asked Nintendo director of product marketing Bill Trinen: was the music an issue?
"Not that I'm aware of," Trinen told Kotaku's Kirk Hamilton during an interview in San Francisco on Wednesday.
"So it'll be the same soundtrack as the original game?" Kirk asked.
"Yeah, I mean, they're taking the original game and putting it on Wii U," Trinen said.
So maybe those licensing issues weren't actually issues, or maybe Nintendo doesn't think Earthbound's samples are significant enough to draw any legal ire. Either way, this is exciting not just because people in North America and Europe will get the chance to play Earthbound legally without spending thousands on eBay, but because this is just about the first time in two decades that Nintendo of America has actually acknowledged that the Mother series exists.
"It just seems like there's a lot of Earthbound supporters inside of Nintendo and inside of Nintendo of America," Trinen said, "and there's been a real big desire to try to bring this back for people that have been longing for it for a very long time. And so, we're just really happy that we've been able to do it. And we're gonna do it on Wii U, where it'll… because it's gonna be a Virtual Console game, it'll have its own Earthbound Miiverse community. Which is gonna be, I think, spectacular."

Loblaws reports worker tested positive for COVID-19 in Fernie
The worker's last shift at Kevin's Your Independent Grocer was on November 10
Scott Tibballs
A worker at Kevin's Your Independent Grocer in Fernie tested positive for COVID-19 on November 20.
According to parent company, Loblaws, the worker last worked at the Fernie supermarket on November 10. No further information was released by the company for privacy reasons.
Interior Health have not reported any public exposure risks in Fernie at this time.
The company reported the positive test as part of its transparency policy on public safety, saying that the worker tested positive for a presumptive COVID-19 test.
A presumptive case is when an individual sees a doctor locally to get tested and it's reported as positive on a local level. It is changed to a confirmed case when it is passed to higher health authorities (such as Interior Health) and re-confirmed. Almost all presumptive cases are re-classified as confirmed.
The positive result comes a day after BC authorities mandated mask-wearing in indoor public spaces, banned social gatherings and discouraged non-essential travel.
According to the most recent data released by the BC CDC, there were 22 cases of COVID-19 reported in the East Kootenay health region between November 6 and 19, for a cumulative total of 68 since the beginning of the pandemic.
There are currently 253 active cases within the Interior Health region.

The introduction of an essay gives the reader an idea of what to expect. If it is boring and lackluster, no one will look at the paper twice. An interesting introduction attracts attention, sets the bar high and is the only reason people will read through your paper over and over. It will also earn you a higher score. But how do you make your introduction interesting?
This means going against the grain. Make a statement that is contrary to common believe. Everyone will want to know why you took that position. If this tactic is to succeed, you must have the facts to prove your point. These facts must be collaborated by other writers and scientific facts.
The body of your paper will be used to justify the controversy or agree with the statement by disapproving any idea against it. This is a tactic that captures attention and is very effective when dealing with old topics or ideas.
There are people or institutions that influence ideas in each field. They include personalities like CEOs, researchers, reports, etc. Quote one of their findings, messages, reports etc. This is an effective way to provide context to your work. It is a chance to find an affiliation to your argument or to refuse this association by providing evidence to the contrary. Ensure that you quote an authority or authoritative report.
Figures are said not to lie. They are generated from intense work and research which makes them believable. They are a firm basis for making conclusions. Some statistics are so shocking that readers will be baffled. Quote reliable statistics to give credence to your statement.
Human beings are captivated and remember stories better than other modes of presenting idea. The story provides a hook to capture the attention and shed light on an issue. Identify a story that is relevant to your arguments or ideas. This will make it easier to decipher the message.
The introduction of junk food essay is best written at the end after completing the body. You already know what the paper is all about and thus can capture it in bits with a strong introduction. Make your statement strong enough to compel a reader to dig deeper into your paper.

Medieval Realms 0.0.3 is now live. The new update to the server introduces a system called AXES.
So what is AXES? Well AXES stands for Accolades eXended Ensconce System. I hear you all running for your dictionaries! So I'll will save you some time 🙂 accolades, meaning an award or privilege granted as a special honour and acknowledgement of achievement, and ensconce meaning the establishment of a settlement in a safe and comfortable place.
In other words for your achievements in game you will be awarded with safe areas to play and build your world where no other player can interfere or steal from you! This new system is controlled by a new in game currency – Mithril Ingots!
Every player starts with four beautifully shiny Mithril Ingots in a new inventory area which is called your Safe. Currently this inventory is "hidden" from view. Work on an inventory GUI is underway I can assure you! Who doesn't want to see their pile of treasures? But for now, you can see how many ingots you own by either logging onto the server, where this information is displayed in the chat console, or via tying the command "/stats" into the chat console whilst in game. No more logging in and out again to see your game stats!
Currently Mithril Ingots are awarded to players via online game time. After a certain amount of online play time you will be awarded with a single Mithril ingot on your next login. These Mithril Ingots can then be invested in the purchasing of new lands!
To give you taste of the future, I'm making plans so that you will be able to transfer your mined ingots into your Safe. You'll also be able to buy and sell land between players via the exchange of ingots!
I really hope you enjoy this addition I've made to this already great game!

What Is The Temperature Of The Earths Crust Mantle Inner Core And Outer Core?
This is from a Science book. I don't know the temperature of the crust, but I do know that the mantle is 870 degrees Celsius, the outer core is 2,200 degrees Celsius, and the inner core is 5,000 degrees Celsius. I hope this helps! :)
Heat = depth. The further down inside the earth you go, the hotter it becomes.
Moe Pence answered
The absolute inner core of the earth, which is mostly iron and nickle, would be around 13,000 degrees (that's hotter than the sun). Then it ranges from 8,000 to 6-7,000 to 1600 to 32 degrees as you come towards the surface.
6000 degrees Celsius
The answer is 1 600 degrees celsius
A few 100 ft it is 52 degree Fahrenheit but as one drill deeper it will come up approximately 1 degree after every 100 foot.

When someone shops for a new vehicle, chances are they'll be in the market for an SUV, instead of shopping for a three-box sedan as they would a couple of years ago. There is no denying the fact that SUVs are all the rage these days. They offer better outward visibility and road presence as opposed to a regular three-box sedan or hatchback.
While SUVs have some a long way in terms of driving dynamics, and some better than others, one would be hard-pressed to find an SUV that handles better that a sedan.
Naturally, when folks shop for C-segment sedans, the Toyota Corolla Altis and Honda Civic are both popular models. Alternatively, they can also opt for the rather excellent Mazda 3.
But from the land of soju comes a rival in the form of the Hyundai Elantra Sport.
This new entry from Hyundai is no stranger to us, as we've sampled it during the Elantra media drive a couple of months ago.
To recap, the Hyundai Elantra Sport features a 1.6-litre T-GDI four pot petrol engine that is good for 203 PS and 264 Nm, mated to Hyundai's own 7-speed DCT that routes power to the front wheels.
Engine: 1.6-litre T-GDI turbocharged, 16 valves, transverse
Transmission: 7-speed dual-clutch automatic, front-wheel drive
Power: 203 PS @ 6,000 rpm
Torque: 264 Nm from 1,500 rpm to 4,500 rpm
Safety: 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC), ISOFIX tether points
Price: RM131,488 (on the road without insurance)
Origin: Locally assembled in Kulim, Kedah
The Hyundai Elantra Sport you see here goes head-to-head against the Honda Civic Turbo. There are other turbocharged C-segment sedans too, including the Volkswagen Jetta (RM 129,578 for the Highline), Honda Civic Turbo (RM 131,880) and Ford Focus sedan (RM 139,888 for the highest spec Titanium+).
Hyundai Sime Darby Motors also offers a cheaper Elantra GLS, powered by a naturally-aspirated 2.0-litre MPI engine mated to a 6-speed conventional automatic gearbox to counter the Civic 1.8.
While both Elantra models feature a similar exterior and interior design, the similarities end there.
If you seek a sedate looking sedan that just blends into traffic, then the Hyundai Elantra is not the car for you.
Everything about the Elantra's exterior shouts for attention, including the bright Blazing Yellow you see. Other attention-grabbing bits include the aggressive front and rear ends.
One cool design feature of the Elantra Sport is the intergrated air curtains at each side of the front fog lights, designed to guide air into and around the front wheel well to improve stability.
Elsewhere, the rear end features LED tail lights and a large rear diffuser with integrated rear fog light. A simple twin tip muffler is located on the bottom right of the bumper. The regular Elantra GLS's muffler is hidden.
Step inside and the first thing you'll notice are the bright red leather seats and door inserts. As sporty as HSDM wants the Elantra Sport to be, we reckon that black leather seats would suit the car better. Luckily, black leather seats are a RM1,500 cost option (before 6% GST).
On par with other modern vehicles, the Hyundai Elantra Sport is also equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system that integrates both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. We're pleased to report that during our time with the Elantra Sport, Android Auto did not crash or hang, unlike our earlier experience during the media drive.
The Hyundai Elantra Sport also features rear folding seats, a much-welcomed feature for those who frequently carry long items in the cars. Some rivals like the Honda Civic have dropped this feature altogether in the interest of body rigidity, but results in the compromise of practicality.
While the interior of the Elantra Sport is mostly positive, we have to point out that some touch points of the sedan are finished in lower grade plastic, reducing the cabin's excellent appeal. Despite that, overall build quality is good, as there were no rattling noises while driving, even with the Elantra's mileage surpassing the 10,000 km mark, most of it in the hands of people who don't own it.
As mentioned earlier, the Hyundai Elantra Sport is equipped with a 203 PS T-GDI engine paired to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic.
This powertrain combination allows the Elantra Sport to be one of the most powerful C-segment sedans in our market, beating the Honda Civic Turbo, 173 PS vs 203 PS, in terms of raw performance figures. Hyundai says that the Elantra Sport does the century sprint in just 7.7 seconds.
In gear acceleration is decent enough from the T-GDI block. Despite having a supposedly fast shifting DCT, in the real world it is not remarkably quicker than a well-tuned torque converter six-speed automatic. Even in Sport mode, the annoying delay to downshift is still evident, although throttle response has been sharpened. Despite all these, the DCT still offers a better experience than the Civic Turbo's CVT.
As for ride comfort, our Malaysia-assembled units shares the same suspension tuning as the Australian market models, which is tuned to be on the firmer side. Still, it is pliant enough to be not crashy or uncomfortable through rougher roads. Steering weight is just about right without feeling over-assisted.
Body control of the Elantra Sport is also good. The Elantra Sport also remains surefooted and planted even when pushed into much more challenging roads. Of course the Mazda 3 is still king-of-the-hill when it comes to driver engagement, but the Korean counterpart isn't too far behind..
Another thing we noticed with the Elantra Sport was the sportier sounding exhaust note, though it was only audible from the outside. The cabin is relatively well insulated from outside noises, but we did notice some tire noise on less-than-ideal road conditions.
The Hyundai Elantra Sport faces stiff competition, but we reckon that the Elantra Sport does have its merits.
Compared to the Honda Civic, the Elantra Sport offers 60:40 split folding rear seats, Blind Spot Monitoring and a DCT that offers a more engaging driving experience. Granted, the Civic does offer a full colour LCD in place of a traditional meter cluster, walk away lock, remote engine start and better interior practicality. With that said, we'd still pick the Elantra Sport's DCT over the Civic's CVT anytime, any day.
A more driver-focused alternative in the segment is the Mazda 3. Unlike the Civic and Elantra, the Mazda 3 features a 2.0-litre naturally-aspirated SkyActiv-G mated to a 6-speed automatic. On paper the Mazda 3 has a performance deficit when compared to the other two rivals, but behind the wheel, the Mazda 3 really shines. From our experience, the most engaging driver car in this segment goes to the Mazda as it encompasses a great steering rack, a rev-happy engine coupled with a chassis set up that is sublime. Shame about that infotainment though, as it lacks Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility.
As a whole, the Hyundai Elantra Sport ticks a lot of the right boxes – commendable performance, handsome looks coupled with decent equipment levels without breaking the bank. While the Hyundai Elantra Sport is ready to challenge the best from Japan and Germany, as a consumer, are you ready to commit to an unconventional choice?
