Vision test in Vegas
Comprehensive eye examinations are an invaluable tool in maintaining optimal vision. At the office of Paul Thompson, OD, we provide specialized eye care that extends far beyond your eyes to include your health and wellness, even your lifestyle. Our eye doctors practice at the highest level of licensure, which includes providing comprehensive eye exams in Vegas, as well as eye disease testing, prescribing medication for eye problems, and even suggesting vitamins to keep your eyes healthy.
Our complete eye examinations allow us to accurately detect eye disease or other abnormalities early, often before they present any symptoms. Early detection in many cases can lead to treatments that will prevent vision loss. Some diseases develop slowly without causing pain or vision loss. Early detection of any problems can reduce the risk of further harm and allow for a choice of treatment options. Our local optometrists believe that you should be well-informed and educated about your eye care. Therefore, during your eye exam in Vegas, we'll explain the purpose of the equipment we use so you can become more comfortable as well as knowledgeable about your eye care and health. When we examine your eyes, our eye doctors use the most modern examination equipment available to ensure an accurate and efficient examination and diagnosis. The entire exam process can take an hour depending on the complexity of the problem. Each patient will be evaluated with a refraction slit lamp, intraocular pressure, and a retinal exam. Personalized to you, no two eye examinations or eyewear prescriptions are the same. Your comprehensive exam will also test visual acuity, eye tracking and focusing skills, as well as detect problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, amblyopia, crossed eyes, dyslexia, and color blindness. We will consider your stage of life and take the time to learn about your goals, lifestyle, general health, and eyewear needs and preferences. Each of these elements impacts your eye health.
Once your annual exam is completed, our optometrists will be able to give you an updated prescription and any recommendations for treatments or at-home care as needed. While you should always visit Dr. Thompson if you are experiencing symptoms, annual eye exams are just as important even if you are not having specific symptoms at the time. Many of the most common and potentially dangerous eye conditions, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration develop in a manner so gradual and slow that many people are completely unaware of there being a problem until the disease is advanced enough to have done significant damage to the eyes and vision. It's best to be proactive with your eye care, and even better to schedule your eye exams in Vegas with Paul Thompson, OD today.

Year 10 & 11
Applying for college
Students should be preparing for their transfer from St. Monica's to a college of further education or an apprenticeship from year 9 or earlier, through to year 11. The challenge is not simply to write an application form, BUT to ensure that a student is clear about the career route he/she wishes to take. For example either
• Study academically the A level, university route or
• Follow a work related 'a vocational' course at college or
• Apply to do an apprenticeship
- The main work is started at the beginning of year 11 and starts with the College Guidance Day usually in early October. This is organized in school as a careers fair, but with all the local colleges, Connexions and a number of 'apprenticeship Training Providers' in attendance. Parents are considered a very important part of the process not only to support their children, but also to acquaint themselves of the range of possibilities now available to students.
- Next are a series of lessons, where students write personal statements and C.V's and are prepared to begin make an application to a college(s) or training provider. As part of this process students will be encouraged to ATTEND the OPEN EVENINGS that colleges lay on to familiarize themselves with the colleges.
Further, they are given the deadlines for applications to the colleges and these are noted below:
For starting in September 2018
Holy Cross - Friday 1st December 2017
Bury College - No deadline but priority for applications received before 24th November 2017
Loreto College - Friday 12th January 2018
Xaverian College - Friday 19th January 2018
Bolton College - No deadline but sooner the better
Salford College - No deadline but sooner the better
Hopwood College (Rochdale) - No deadline but sooner the better
- Students are given an interview date by the college. These are usually offered between mid November and February, depending on the college and the date of application.
- Students are given a 'conditional' offer of acceptance into the college, usually around Easter time. NOW students who have made more than one application MUST decide which college they wish to attend.

The Pistoliers are standard ranged cavalry, their pistols packing an effective punch whilst maintaining mobility.
Pistoliers are young nobles who are not yet old or experienced enough to test their spurs in battle or join one of the Knightly Orders. However, the clarion Call-to-Arms pounds strongly in the veins of these youths, and many cannot wait to march to war and prove themselves on the glorious field of combat. Some spirited young nobles may gather their friends and form regiments of Pistoliers of their own, but most join the ranks of the Pistolkorps, a military organisation funded by the Emperor, the Engineers' School and sponsored by several Knightly Orders. Here, the nobles learn about horsemanship and war from the Outrider - grizzled veterans paid by the Knights to train their sons. Most of the young men who survive their time in the Pistolkorps go on to join a Knightly Order and put the skills and scars they have earned to good use as a fully armoured Knight.

I'm back for round 2 with Chadstone, The Fashion Capital. I've styled 2 new outfits (pictured on the 2 far right mannequins) that will be on display in Chaddy for the next couple of weeks, and just like last time, you'll have the chance to win your fave look! The 2 outfits, styled from pieces from Alannah Hill and Jigsaw, are both perfect for summer and can easily transition from a day to night look. The first look (pictured second from the far right), features pieces from Alannah Hill. I'm not usually a huge Alannah Hill person (the frills and bows don't exactly suit me) so I was completely surprised I could put together this outfit and still have it reflect my style. I'm loving lace in all colours this season, and paired with a printed pencil skirt, looks demure but still on trend. My second look is definitely a lot more laid back and casual, and features pieces available from Jigsaw. I'm a huge fan of a plain white shirt, especially tucked into some tailored shorts. These navy shorts are actually a polkadot print, perfect if you still like looking a little monochrome even in summer.
So just like before, Chadstone is giving you the chance win your favourite outfit just by heading over to the Chadstone blog here, and voting for your favourite look. Good luck!

Melissa's Experience With Mercy Touch
I have known about Mercy Touch for about 10 years now. I was always asked to go to Zambia, but for many years I pushed it aside. It has taken me some growth and maturity in my walk with God to say that this was His timing.
I felt equipped and ready for this mission trip. However, as I was preparing, I was feeling very overwhelmed with emotion. It was going to be my first mission trip that wasn't solely medical and dental. I was becoming anxious thinking about the relational aspects of this trip. It felt like a lot was unknown and I'm the type of person who likes to know everything, all the time. I constantly found myself surrendering and praying, which set the tone for the next few weeks we spent in Zambia.
We were a team of three and it was really nice traveling with a small group. It was a very different dynamic travelling with a small team versus a team of 50-60 people. We were able to organize, correspond, and change anything on short notice seamlessly. Our team was able to do community work and outreach, help with homework, tutor English and reading, and participate in church ministry. At the homes and during the feeding program I was able to do dental checkups, assessments, and apply topical fluoride.
When we arrived in Zambia we were greeted at the airport with some of the Mercy Touch staff. I instantly fell asleep in the vehicle, and when I woke up - we were at the farm. We met some of the kids and house moms and walked around the grounds. Later on in the evening we were able to connect with the rest of the staff and children. Instantly, I noticed how everyone interacted with one another. Everyone treated each other like family and it truly felt like home. I got comfortable quickly and it was definitely a far cry in comparison to slumming it in the Philippines. The house we stayed in was great!
The children are so bright and super excited to learn and read. I never thought I'd say this, but homework was so fun! We did spelling tests, taught sounds, taught new vocabulary; and of course we read endlessly. Kelsey and I were also able to learn a little Bemba!
Each of the children were so eager and tried very hard to learn. We played after all the hard work too. Our team brought some beach balls, jump ropes, and hula-hoops. We made obstacle courses and rode the bikes around the farm. Some of the girls would break out into songs and dance. I learned some new dance moves from the younger girls. I had such a wonderful time connecting and just being with them.
Being able to do devotions with the team in the morning, with the children in the evening, and also with the house moms was like food for the soul. Being able to disconnect from the world and reconnect with God on the farm was an experience I've never had before. The ability to focus in and listen to God only, is something I will never forget and hope to continue to receive and discern in my spiritual life. When things felt unsettled, confusing, and unknown; I shortly felt a sense of peace that can only translate into the Holy Spirit.
Since leaving Zambia, I truly miss the children, house moms and staff I was able to connect with. They have taught me a different dynamic of family, gratefulness, humility, and peace. It all came like a storm of emotions and it was an unforgettable experience I will always cherish. God is truly amazing and His blessings flow through this beautiful organization.
I miss it all and hope to go back soon.

Hunter boots
March 21, 2014
Kući je najljepše. Probudi me pas dok lupka šapicama po prozoru.
Napokon sam ostvarila želju za Hunter čizmama. Istina,morala sam naručiti broj manji nego nosim inače jer je dječiji model al srećom,odlične su.
There is no place like home. My dog wakes me up while he is knocking on my window with his paws.
My wish finally came true,I have Hunter boots. The truth is,I had to order size smaller because this is kids model but they fit me perfectly.

If you like to do everything together, why not dress up for Halloween together? Here are some ideas for Halloween costumes at low prices for couples.
A Pair of Fluffy Dice
You will need two large cardboard boxes, and enough fluffy fake fur fabric to cover them. Cut holes for head and arms to pass, and glue the fabric on the outside of the boxes with craft glue.
Cut circles of black felt for a number of pieces and glue to the fur fabric, using a real dice as a guide. Take a length of black rope and tie each end die. When sweat pants under the dress and the color of fake fur or wear black and empty matches.
Adam and Eve
There are two versions of this modest dress and dirty. Select the desired!
For the modest costume, you need two pairs of sweat shirts and pants as close to a flesh color that you can get. If you can not find the right color, dye shirts plain sweat pants and a white suit. If you choose thick warm fabric, you can wear Halloween costumes to the most cold outside!
Cut four large fig leaves in pieces of green felt. Glue the fig leaves to the right parts of the costume. Wreaths of ivy and fake you buy the day before her execution of an apple, and Adam carries a rubber snake.
For the naughty version, stick or sew fig leaves to found a flesh color and flesh colored bikini underwear. Preferably keep these costumes for indoor wear, unless you want to freeze suffered a number of sensitive areas!
Ozzie and Sharon Osborne
Ozzie: You have a long black wig, shirt, heavy metal T, black pants and sunglasses. Paint black circles under your eyes for a haunted look again if you glasses. Remember to add remote at all, so you can yell for Jack to help.
Sharon: Wear a sexy black dress, fishnet stockings and elegant and your hair with gel. If you are not black hair dye with spray on hair dye use. Do not forget the red lipstick and sunglasses. Some tears in the fishnet is a nice touch, and you can copy to a tell-all book.
Fred and Wilma Flintstones
Fred: For this costume you need an oversized orange t shirt, one that depends on your knees. Cut the bottom of the t shirt and sleeves into points. Cut a slot in the front of the neck so the collar of the t shirt hanging open. Glue a piece of black fake fur inside collar of the t shirt for chest hair (or use your own!).
Take a blue scarf and shred the tips so it looks battered. Tie this around your neck for the collar of his shirt cut to weigh on her like a shirt collar.
Wilma: You can Wilma costume with a short skirt and white top and a white shoulder. Cut the bottom of the skirt into points. Wires big white beads on the thread and tie around your neck. Spray your hair with an orange dye and its use in a bun.
A pair of Real Babes
You need a set of light blue and a set of sweat-shirts and pink pants. Cut two large bibs and towels decorated with applique or fabric painting, one can say Baby Girl and Baby Boy, or use fun nicknames. Top of cute knitted caps in pink for girls and blue for boys.
Wear this set on the flesh color sweater and trousers when you go outside. Carry dolls and lollipops, and grab all the candy!

Homemade doughnuts are one of my favourite sweet treats to both make and eat! When I made these it was more of a spontaneous bake, because I had everything I needed and I just fancied some doughnuts.
Hey, I have been a little sceptical about trying to make homemade doughnuts, because in my head they seemed quite difficult to make plus it always seemed like you need a deep fryer to get doughnuts just right.

In a recent post I addressed my desire to renew showing up for myself. You wouldn't know it, since I've not posted much since then, however I've been busy doing just what I set out to do. And it's manifested in many different ways – baking, cleaning (which doesn't at first seem to be for me but there are those days when nothing feels quite so good as sucking mud up the vacuum or scrubbing the sink till my fingers hurt), painting, cutting, drawing, scribbling, gluing, and sometimes sitting still doing nothing at all.
And sometimes showing up for myself means showing up for my kids. Last night and again this morning Isabella asked me to sit with her while she followed an instructional video online. For Christmas we gave her a Rainbow Loom and the child's right arm is almost completely covered in rubber band bracelets. She's mastered the basic one and has been wanting a new pattern for days. Last night I made time to sit down with her. She picked out a tutorial from their website and got started before bed and the idea of moving forward with it got her up and quickly through the normally painful morning routine.
My job? Pausing and restarting the tutorial video.
I'll admit I occasionally left her side to do other things but she always called me back. And this got me thinkin' … my kids are at a stage in their lives where they physically need me less and less. Their motor skills are greatly developed and in most cases are probably better than mine. They can fix themselves food, shower without assistance, and they both read crazy fast on their own. And yet, despite all of this, they still want me close. Isabella wants me sitting with her, listening to her exclamations of, "this is so exciting!" Quinton wants to cuddle with me and asks, "Can you read me my book?"
I know I'm their mom and in some ways they'll always need me but I'm feeling their greater independence on the horizon. It makes me think of those days when the sun is setting and the light is perfect, giving everything an almost technicolor brightness; a light so thick it feels like I could grasp it if only I could move fast or slow enough. Everything those rays touch look like they're glowing from the inside out, flaring brightly before the light fades, leaving me with an achingly sweet melancholy. Right now my children's need for me feels like that – it's temporary, it's amazing and it will fade.
As it should.
But I do so enjoy taking a few deep breaths and sitting with them when they ask me, fully aware that the sun will eventually set on this as well.

Your friend is thinking of a number among 1, 2, and 3. You can ask him just one question, to which he is allowed to answer only with "yes", "no", or "I don't know". What would you ask him in order to find his number?
You can ask him the following:
"If I am thinking of a number among 1 and 2, is you number going to be bigger than mine?"
If your friend's number is 1, he will say "no". If his number is 2, he will say "I don't know". If his number is 3, he will say "yes".

GSK Data Center
Upper Providence, Pa.
Marking an entry to a corporate campus, this facility centralizes a number of functions and strives to redefine the company standard in efficiency and sustainability. The project's extremely tight schedule dictated the use of architectural precast concrete panels in order to take advantage of its straightforward modularity, early start to shop drawings, quality control concerns, and speed of erection.
Interplay of ribbed and smooth panels was utilized to break down the visual mass of such a large project, adding significant visual interest to all of the facility's facades. The ability to emulate the color and texture of the existing campus's masonry buildings freed the design team to explore the use of formliners to create deep shadows that contrast with smooth, crisp surfaces.

This post is dedicated to my mommy:
To the woman who is always there. To the one who always have a moment for me to vent or cry. To the person who can make me feel better over the phone.
You've always been there, and I know you always will be.
You're a warrior. You're a fighter. You give of yourself so selflessly. You love others.
The passion you bring to every aspect of your life is amazing.
I am amazed when I watch you interact with your grandkids; you love them unconditionally and sacrifice your needs for them. You love us girls with reckless abandon. I love the way you interact with my father: you laugh at the small things, appreciate the small gestures, and extend small gestures of appreciation in return. You love him as one is suppose to. You serve, and allow yourself to be served...37 year later you're very obviously still in love. That's incredible!
Your love is an example to me. I hope to be half as lucky some day.
Don't be too hard on yourself; you have more in you than you know. You are a role model to any who meet you, a strength to those who are tried. You always have a little extra to give. You fight the good fight, and above all live a life full of Christ.
Your laugh makes me smile.
Thank you.
Thank you for listening to my ramblings. Thank you for the hundreds of small things you do every day without realizing them, that make my day better.
You're a great mother...
...A loving wife...
...A good leader
You're appreciated, loved, cared for, and respected…
To my mommy: one of a kind...


text: Things I would suggest are a decent tripod, Videomic Pro, B+W 77mm variable ND and appropriate step-down rings for each of your lenses, a CN-160 video light with a few batteries, and a double shoe v-bracket (to mount both the light and mic on your camera at the same time). That should cover all your bases for now. You can always add other kit as you grow more experienced enough to decide for yourself what else is needed.

On this day in 1935, Edwin Armstrong presented his landmark paper "A Method of Reducing Disturbances in Radio Signaling by a System of Frequency Modulation" before the New York Institute of Radio Engineers. Armstrong developed wide-band frequency modulation (FM) at Columbia University's Philosophy Hall (I've spent some time there). Armstrong's discovery allowed great refinement in radio sound and would revolutionize the industry.
Sadly, Armstrong's inventions were suppressed by corporations and his patents were contested throughout his life. He was denied patent rights to FM radio and was financially and emotionally devastated. He committed suicide by jumping out of the window of his New York apartment in 1954. His widow later resumed and won his patent fight.

Why think ahead and why practice?
Today's news contains an article with several lessons in it for the Armed Private Citizen.
Police: Man outside Walmart shot [his gun] in self-defense
The lessons cut across an array of topics relevant to Personal Protection. Let's use the CAN/MAY/SHOULD/MUST paradigm as a basis for the discussion.
A Day at the Range – I
As always, a good day at the range erases the ennui generated by Internet goofiness.
As I mentioned in my post about Structured Practice (Part II), many people have no plan and use no structure when they go to the range. That's only because they've never been introduced to the concept of structured practice in any activity. I always have two or three objectives in mind for a range trip and I write them down to help me keep on track.
Yesterday, I had two principal themes for the trip.
- Test the CMMG .22 Conversion Unit I bought for my AR.
- Test the functionality of the Model 30 Improved I Frame revolver I bought. It had been abused at one time and subsequently reblued so I wasn't 100% sure of its mechanicals.
For the CMMG unit, I had three things in mind.
- Zero it.
- Shoot the US Army Alt-C Qualification Course with it.
- Shoot the NRA Marksmanship Qualification Program Tactical Rifle Course at the Pro-Marksman level. My gun club rules don't allow me to shoot the Program with a centerfire rifle caliber so I'm going to use a .22.
Testing the Model 30 was a little simpler. My plan was to shoot the LAPD Retired Officer Qualification Course. The Course isn't extensive but it allowed me to test the revolver's reliability and see if it shot to the sights.
Fortunately, the CMMG shot fairly close to the rifle's current zero. It just shot a little low, so I fixed that. The Alt-C course is a precision course shot at 25 meters. The targets are scaled from 50 meters to 300 meters.
Foxhole supported is simply a benchrest shooting position. There are benchrest positions available at my club so that's how I shot Table 1. Even though I was using the iron sights, I was still able to shoot Sharpshooter. That made me happy because I haven't fired a rifle in almost a year.
Next, I shot the MQP Tactical Rifle Pro-Marksman. My plan for that is to shoot one level each time I go to the range. Pro-Marksman has three stages; 7, 30, and 100 yards. The targets are expensive and hard to find but six inch circles are an acceptable substitute for the Program. The lid from a Cool Whip container happens to be six inches.
This was my 7 and 30 yard target. I like to mark the hits with different markers for each distance.
This was my 100 yard target. Any silhouette can be used for the 100 yard stage. The sun was in my eyes during the kneeling and prone shots so I was glad I hit as well as I did.
I write my scores on the sheet and scan it for record and future reference.
Finally, I shot the LAPD course with the Model 30.
Having a plan when I go to the range helps me stay on task while I'm there. It also gives me a feeling that I've accomplished something when I leave. Next time, I'll probably shoot the MQP Marksman level and the .22 Home Defense Course that I based on the old FBI [Sub]Machine Gun Course.
Scientific Theory v. Legal Theory
The formal scientific definition of theory is quite different from the everyday meaning of the word. [Scientific theory] refers to a comprehensive explanation of some aspect of nature that is supported by a vast body of evidence.
For example, the theory of plate tectonics is a scientific theory. There is ample evidence, which is indisputable, that the surface of the Earth is divided into solid plates that have moved over geological timescales.
Scientific theory is much different than legal theory but those who casually study personal protection often confuse the two. "Legal theory refers to the principle under which a litigant proceeds, or on which a litigant bases its claims or defenses in a case." Legal theory is much closer to being a hypothesis, in the scientific sense. In some ways, legal theories are not even hypotheses but are, in fact, merely speculation by an attorney.
We ignore this distinction at our peril. A recent court decision in Pennsylvania provides good examples of why. Among those with a casual knowledge of personal protection concepts, the phrase 'disparity of force' is parroted as an almost ironclad defense if a much larger person has been shot. However, 'disparity of force' is merely a legal theory that one's defense attorney can raise at trial. While the defense might be bolstered in this effort by expert witnesses, the shooter cannot take it for granted this theory will have any effect on the outcome.
Similarly, the concept of 'shoot him to the ground' is often blathered on about. This idea is rooted in the notion that 'if the first shot was justified, the rest won't matter.' As can be seen in the Pennsylvania case, courts may find this idea unconvincing.
The Kimball case in Maine gives another example of how these two often regurgitated legal theories failed to sway either the jury or the court. "Kimball's attorneys argue Cole made a mistake by not instructing the jury that it could find that Kimball had been adequately provoked by Kelley, who was 6-foot-4 and 285 pounds, after being repeatedly struck as he retreated away from Kelley." The Maine Supreme Judicial Court found this argument unconvincing and rejected it. Merrill Kimball, 74 years old, will spend the rest of his life in prison, an unpleasant prospect. The fact he fired three shots rather than just one was raised at trial by the judge.
There are other legal theories I periodically hear that, while they sound good, similarly cannot be counted on to prevail in a courtroom. We need to be cautious about using potential legal theories an attorney could raise in our defense when formulating the doctrine we will use for our decision-making.
The law is not logical and does not necessarily 'make sense' to the uneducated. We are best served by being knowledgeable, rather than speculating, about what it is or assuming what we think it should be. The one assumption we can make is that nearly everything we read on the Internet about the law is wrong.
For those who carry weapons of any kind, including personal weapons (hands, feet, etc. as the FBI defines them), obtaining some real legal training is well worthwhile. Law Of Self Defense, Massad Ayoob Group, the Armed Citizens' Legal Defense Network, and other organizations provide information, not speculation, about what we can and cannot do in our defense and the defense of our loved ones. The cost is about equal to one hour of a criminal defense attorney's time; that's a good tradeoff.
Note: I am not a lawyer and by no means am I giving legal advice. I am merely pointing out fallacies in thinking that I often observe.
Fair disclaimer: I have taken training from Law Of Self Defense, Massad Ayoob Group, and am a local affiliate trainer for the Armed Citizen Legal Defense Network.
How many rounds to carry?
That question came up on a Facebook group I'm a member of recently. In response, I referenced my Armed Citizen database. The question was asked about my methodology, which is a fair question. I'll address it my forthcoming eBook about the Armed Citizen but I want to first post the Introduction, which addresses the journey I have made about the Armed Citizen and my analyses thereof.
This book is the result of the overlap of several very widely different topics and experiences. As is often the case, as more information comes to light over time, perceptions can change.
During my time in the Army, I held several different intelligence (S2) positions. These largely involved information collection and analysis duties, not 'spyguy' stuff. The purpose of Intelligence in the military and government is always to facilitate decision-making. Having to provide and defend a cogent analysis of not only the information collected but the conclusions I drew from it was a formative experience for me. Information collection was only the beginning. From there, it had to be processed and turned into a usable product that decisions could be based on.
As I wound down my military career and entered the civilian world, I got into the commercial real estate business. As a Research Director for several different real estate firms, my S2 training and manuals were very useful to me. At the same time, the transition from mini-computer (Wang) to PCs in the business world was beginning. My boss was an extremely astute businessman and recognized the value of databasing information early on. Being able to construct my own databases allowed me to do several projects that were particularly influential in the way I looked at information.
One of the projects was to database the contacts that the brokers in our office used to develop business. Our firm's business model was territorial with each broker having an assigned property type and area. To see how well this worked, my boss had me collect each broker's contacts by Zip Code and create a map of where the contacts were in relation to the broker's chosen territory. This process was very similar to the Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (now Battlespace) products I had prepared in the Army. The results were surprising to everyone involved. In almost no case were the majority of the broker's contacts in his or her territory. Some were nearby, which was understandable, but in many cases, they were widely scattered and even far away. The brokers themselves couldn't believe it until I showed them the actual maps.
What this showed me was how inaccurate conclusions based on data that isn't properly disaggregated can be. Their information was written down in their Rolodexes with every contact date annotated. That system told them very well what the level of their contact activity was. What it didn't provide was much information about how well they were following their business plan. Aggregating the data and then disaggregating it by location instead of contact name and date told a much different story.
Another database I had to create was of proposed and completed deals. Creating this database gave me a much better insight into the numerous factors that make up a transaction. Proposed rental rate, length of term, size of the space, etc. were all captured when the brokers proposed a transaction. Eventually we would enter whether the deal closed or died. That database gave our company a firm understanding of what the market was actually doing across the city and in the various submarkets. Instead of speculation about what actual rental rates and terms were, we had a very clear picture.
Training I took impacted my thoughts also. I took Massad Ayoob's Lethal Force Institute I in 1991. Having a measured and structured component to training was an eye-opening experience. Similarly, when I started training with John Farnam of Defense Training International, I got a lot of good information, both formal and informal. John was kind enough to give me a copy of W. French Anderson's book about the FBI Miami Massacre. The book provided a superlative example of an in depth analysis of an armed conflict.
The next leg of my experiences developed when I started shooting IDPA in 1998 and then started an IDPA club. A number of Match Directors and I were discussing how to develop stages every month for our matches. Stage development is a constant pressure for any Match Director to keep the matches fresh and interesting. Someone suggested that The Armed Citizen column of NRA's American Rifleman magazine might be a good place to start. I had been tearing the columns out of the magazine for years but never paid close attention to them. So I dug them out and looked through them in greater detail. My response to the other MDs was that almost all of the incidents were less than five shots and a lot were only one or two. Many of them had no shooting in them at all. The general consensus was the round count wasn't high enough and the situations weren't complicated enough to make interesting scenario stages.
My conclusion was different though, so I started designing what I called Armed Citizen Scenarios for my matches. There were several ways to adapt the incidents into stages. One way was to put multiple strings into a stage. For instance, if a Citizen was wounded in the arm in an attack, I would have one string shot with both hands and a second string shot with the Dominant Hand Only. Or, when only one shot was fired at one criminal in the actual incident, I would specify a failure drill (two shots to the body and one to the head) on all the targets.
The Armed Citizen topic interested me enough to create a database all 482 of the incidents from the column for the period 1997-2001. The incidents were remarkably devoid of 'ninjas coming from the ceiling' and 'face eating meth-heads.' As I had done with the deal database, I broke out as many different characteristics (at home, in a business, number of shots fired, etc.) as I could. With the database populated, I ran a series of pivot tables and produced a short study of what the characteristics and outcomes of the incidents were. Although there were methodological issues with it, fifteen years later, it remains the only study of its type I am aware of. Like a vampire that won't die, it continues to be widely referenced and reproduced on the Internet.
One of the criticisms of my 1997-2001 study was that the NRA 'cherry-picks' the incidents to portray the actions of Armed Citizens in the most favorable light. Although the nature of what the Citizens might have done wrong was never really specified, I accept that as a valid critique. Only Positive Outcomes are reported in the Armed Citizen.
Flash forward more than a decade to the 2014 Rangemaster Tactical Conference, where I am an annual presenter. My colleague Craig Douglas threw down a challenge to me. "You should do a presentation on 'Bad Shootings' next year." It was a virgin topic and gave me an opportunity to counteract the 'cherry-picking' aspect of the Armed Citizen. I accepted the challenge and casually started gathering information.
Be careful of what you wish for. The broad array of what I came to call Negative Outcomes really surprised me. The categories I broke them out into are:
- Brandishing/threatening
- Chasing after the end of a confrontation
- Downrange failures (shot an innocent while shooting at a threat)
- Intervention (Proverbs 26:17)
- Lost/stolen guns
- Mistaken identity shootings
- Negligent discharges, including self-inflicted gunshot wounds and Unintentional shootings
- Police Involvement, e.g., getting needlessly arrested
- Poor judgement
- Unauthorized access (generally by small children)
- Unjustifiable shootings, including warning shots
The categories are far from being the lurid list of 'gunfights lost' that those who objected to the 1997-2001 study probably expected. Rather than being tactical failures, most are simply the result of poor gunhandling, lack of familiarity with the law, or out and out carelessness and negligence. My list of such incidents is shockingly long. The only really noticeable category of tactical failures was what my colleague Tom Givens calls 'forfeits,' i.e., not having your gun when you need it.
Chapter takeaways
- There is a process to data collection and analysis.
- Information that isn't written down and then analyzed in written form is prone to error. The human mind has a remarkable capacity for memory but that capacity can be disorderly and easily misinterpreted.
- Defensive Gun Uses by Armed Citizens tend to be uncomplicated affairs.
- Defensive Gun Uses have discrete characteristics that can be broken out for broad analysis.
- Negative Outcomes rarely consist of 'gunfights lost' but more often are negligence related Unintentional Shootings and Unjustifiable Use of Weapons. The exception to that rule being not having a gun when it's needed.
People skills and personal protection
While reviewing some files in my reading list, I came across this gem. It's from an article called The best advice for today's music industry was written 80 years ago
In his closing keynote presentation [at the DIY Musicians Conference] called "How to Make an Extra $100,000 from Your Music Next Year," Martin [Atkins] ran down a long list of creative cost-saving and money-making suggestions, peppered with commandments like "Don't be an asshole" and "Whatever the fuck it is, get the fuck over it."
At the heart of Martin's talk, though, was this quote:
"You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you."
Dale Carnegie wrote that in 1936, in his book How to Win Friends and Influence People.
Martin's first suggestion brought to mind a comment one of my first bosses in the real estate business made about one of the brokers in our office. "That guy needs to take a Dale Carnegie Course. Twice!"
Dale Carnegie Training has an excellent eBook abstract of Dale Carnegie's writings available for download on its website. The eBook is called Dale Carnegie's Secrets of Success. Here's the link to it. I have two well-worn hard copies, from when it was called Dale Carnegie's Golden Book, one of which I keep on my desk.
Secrets of Success is recommended reading for everyone, regardless of what you do or your personal philosophy. Those who are churned up about recent political events, on both ends of the spectrum, should take note especially.
What does Dale Carnegie have to do with personal protection? Let's keep in mind that unlike natural disasters, personal protection against criminality involves a social transaction between two people. Those two people might be:
- You and a Violent Criminal Actor
- One of your loved ones and a Violent Criminal Actor
- A trainer and you
- You and someone you are trying to teach, either formally or informally
- You and someone you are trying to influence to make decisions about personal protection
Since I am a trainer and educator, I'll address the last two points first. Recently, a trainer and blogger posted a 4,128 word rant about numerous shortcomings an acquaintance of his had. The rant was very pompous and disdainful. Some of the shortcomings related to personal protection and some were general life 'flaws.' No doubt the trainer's object was to give his readers some food for thought about how they might have shortcomings similar to the acquaintance's. However, Atkins' first comment, "Don't be an asshole" immediately came to mind as I read it. The overall tone of the blogger's post was "this guy's an idiot and I'm sooooo much smarter and better than him."
No one likes or is influenced by a pompous asshole. Unfortunately, I see a lot of pompous assholiness in the training community. I'm not immune to being that way, either.
The Be a Leader section of Secrets of Success makes several germane points.
- Call attention to people's mistakes indirectly.
- Ask questions instead of giving direct orders.
- Use encouragement. Make the fault seem easy to correct.
Another aspect of the training community I often see is a lack of connection to the everyday lives that our students live. There are several worthwhile items from Secrets of Success in this regard.
Become a Friendlier Person
- Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.
- Talk in terms of the other person's interests.
Win People to Your Way of Thinking
- Try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view.
- Be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires.
- Throw down a challenge.
So, I'm going to throw down a challenge to the training community.
Get a job; a real job where you have to fill out a W-4 when you get hired. Just like the jobs your students have.
Right now is a golden opportunity, no pun intended. The end of the year is a relatively slow time for training and there are numerous seasonal positions available in the retail sector. Target, WalMart, and Sears, among others, are all hiring for temporary positions through the end of the year. If you don't like wearing a uniform, Macy's and other high end retailers are hiring and will give you an even better environment to test your hypotheses. Get a temporary job in a retail store for a couple of months. Walk a mile in your students' moccasins while carrying the heater and all the gear you tell them to EDC. See how it works out for you.
If you get fired (or arrested) for a weapons violation or you decide you can't carry all that crap while working and interacting with people all day without getting made, you owe me a drink. If you work at least 30 hours a week for six weeks in the retail environment with your full EDC loadout, I'll buy you dinner. Full time sworn LEOs, 16 hours a week will fulfill the challenge. Totally on the honor system; I'll accept whatever outcome you tell me you had.
In our Violent Criminal Actors class last month, William Aprill talked about the difference between odds and stakes. The payout odds for my offer are about 5 to 1 in your favor. The stakes; well that's a different story.
Next time, we'll discuss the relevance of people skills to The Deadly Mix and Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted 2015. Until then:
Chinese Whispers and the FBI (Part I)
Chinese Whispers is the game in which a short message is whispered from person to person and then the beginning and ending stories are compared. Often what begins as "I like that girl's dress" ends up as something like "her Grandmother slept with Batman!"
The FBI released its annual report Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) report on October 17. LEOKA will eventually be the starting point for numerous Chinese Whispers in the firearms and law enforcement communities. Whispers will circulate about statistical data such as distances of 'gunfights,' lighting conditions, weapon disarms, etc. Often, these claims will not even be based on current data but 'commonly cited information,' 'well known statistics,' or other such dubious sources.
What can we actually learn from LEOKA about how to be safer? The best single source in the Report is the Summaries of Officers Feloniously Killed and a recent addition, Selected Summaries of Officers Assaulted and Injured with Firearms or Knives/Other Cutting Instruments. Rather than relying on tabular data, which is interesting but not instructive, reading the Summaries provides us clues about circumstances, positioning, and actions. The FBI uses the term 'The Deadly Mix' to describe the combination of officer, offender, and circumstances. Reading the Summaries can give us insight about how that mix occurs and its outcome.
The circumstances of incidents in LEOKA are categorized as:
- Disturbance call,
- Arrest situation, including pursuits
- Civil disorder,
- Handling, transporting, custody of prisoner,
- Investigating suspicious person/circumstance,
- Ambush,
- Unprovoked attack,
- Investigative activity,
- Handling person with mental illness,
- Traffic pursuit/stop,
- Tactical situation.
While LEOs have interest in all the categories, Private Citizens can learn from incidents such as Investigating suspicious persons/circumstances and Handling person with mental illness, too. For those who think intervening in others' affairs is a good idea (I do not), looking at the incidents in the Arrest category is a worthwhile exercise to see how easily things can go bad.
The West Virginia incident in the Summaries of Officers Assaulted and Injured is an entertaining, if somewhat macabre, example of just how weird and unpredictable the life of a police officer can be. The rookie involved certainly got a baptism of fire that day.
On January 1, a lieutenant and a patrol officer with the Lewisburg Police Department were both shot during a traffic stop at 4:20 p.m. The 36-year old veteran lieutenant, who had 15 years of law enforcement experience, and the 20-year-old patrol officer, who been on the job for 1 month, were both wearing body armor when they stopped a man driving a vehicle that had been reported stolen by a law enforcement agency in Texas.
More about LEOKA in the next Part.
Contingency plans
Watching the end of The Bridge Over the River Kwai last night, something occurred to me. There should have been a contingency plan that if the British Major Warden fired the two inch mortar, it was the signal to blow the bridge early. Granted, that would have removed much of the Hollywood drama but it's food for thought, nonetheless.
Situations and operations don't always go according to plan, which is why it's good to have contingency plans. Going to guns is actually a contingency plan. When we display or fire our weapons, it means that our plan to follow our other priorities has failed. In my particular case, those other priorities are Avoid (barriers are a component of Avoid) and Escape.
Even if we find it necessary to use force to resolve an issue, we need to have contingency plans, both technical and tactical. Malfunction clearance drills and reloading are just technical contingency plans for dealing with stoppages (unintentional interruptions in the cycle of operations). Displaying the weapon may not intimidate the villain into leaving. Given the appropriate MAY and/or SHOULD, the tactical contingency plan in that case is to actually employ the weapon, whatever it may be.
And sometimes weapons don't have the desired effect. The Seattle couple who tried using wasp spray to repel a home invader found it to be ineffective. Then the husband went to an impromptu contingency, hand to gland combat, what the FBI calls 'personal weapons.' When that failed, the wife was forced into a second impromptu contingency, getting a large kitchen knife and hacking the invader to death. Sidenote to anti-'Assault Rifle' folks, note in the table that knives are used for more homicides than all long guns put together. The important thing was that the couple didn't give up; sometimes you invent contingencies on the fly, as they did.
Contingency plans don't have to be elaborate.
As long as all they're doing is robbing the [convenience store], I am going to act like a CPA from Akron and be a good witness. But if they start searching people, making people get down on the floor, or forcing people into a back room, my wife knows to get away from me because I am going to start shooting.
—Evan Marshall, on off-duty incident planning
Note in the above contingency plan, family members are aware of the plan, as well. Your family and associates should know what you plan to do also or the situation could become even more complicated. If the Major had fired the mortar at the two colonels without telling the Lieutenant what the plan was, the Lieutenant might have misinterpreted that as covering fire and still waited for the train.
A contingency plan stated by a very savvy friend of mine is one that everyone should keep in mind. I've mentioned it before but it bears repeating.
When they get the duct tape out, it's time to make your move, ready or not. Nothing good comes of being tied up with duct tape.
Contingency planning is an inherent part of wargaming and developing our personal guidelines for using force as part of our Personal Protection plan. What do I, or we, do if the planned Course of Action doesn't go according to plan?
Vet your sources
Please accept no advice or references with regard to personal protection without vetting it directly from the source. That includes anything I say. I try to cite where I get my information but anyone can be mistaken. There is no shortage of misinformation floating around and not all of it comes from gunshop commandos.
Already this morning, not one but two examples of why this is important have been brought to my attention. Another was made apparent last night.
In the first example this morning, a friend and client of mine shared some utterly incorrect advice that was given to her by a local law enforcement officer. My response came from my old website.
Only accept legal advice on firearms and/or self-defense from the POLICE or OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES OR OFFICIALS if it is in writing on official letterhead signed by a sworn senior supervisory official of that department in his or her official capacity or a current official document of that department bearing the department's insignia and signed by the current head of the department (Chief of Police, Sheriff, or Special Agent In Charge). Verbal (not in writing) advice from law enforcement personnel may be in error and will have NO standing in a court of law.
It is rare that you will ever get anything in writing and signed by a senior official of the PoPo. There's a reason for that. The police rarely know the nuances of the law and frequently do not keep up on changes in the law. Last night's example was the result of a Sergeant using an outdated legal codebook when developing a briefing. His Captain, a friend of mine, fortunately reviewed the briefing prior to it being given. When asked to cite his references, the Sergeant pulled out a five year old codebook. The section he was citing had been changed.
If you want legal advice, go to a legal expert or read a book by a legal expert, such as Andrew Branca or Massad Ayoob. Don't ask the police. They probably don't know as much as you would like them to. This also applies to firearms training.
2. This morning I read an article in one of the online NRA Journals that referenced "FBI Crime Statistics." Whenever you hear or read something that cites "the FBI," assume it is the result of a game of Chinese Whispers.
FBI information is so rarely cited correctly that your can generally assume what is being said about it is more likely to be wrong than right. Personal Defense Network published my article What Do FBI Statistics Really Say About "Gunfights"? It's worth reading.
When it comes to using force or training/practicing to use force, either lethal or non-lethal, you have to know what you're doing. That means doing your own research, not relying on someone else to do it for you. At the very least, do an internet search for "use of force [your State]" and find the statutory code for your State.
Initial thoughts about the Rangemaster 2016 Tactical Conference
The Rangemaster 2016 Tactical Conference is now in the record books. It was held March 11-13, 2016 in Memphis, Tennessee. The gathering included 200+ attendees, almost 30 instructors, and the fine facilities and staff of the Firearms Training Unit, Memphis Police Department Academy.
There was a great deal of material presented, more than could be attended. The Conference focuses on an inter-disciplinary approach to personal protection, so there is a lot more than just firearms and shooting involved. There was a challenging pistol match that could be shot, though; 158 people chose to shoot it.
The class I gave was Developing a Dryfire Practice Regimen. I was very gratified by the turnout of 50+ students. As the saying goes, 'The best way to learn something is to teach it.' Over the course of creating my presentation, my dryfire techniques became even more refined. One attendee also gave me a new training aid I wasn't aware of. As in every class I teach, I also learn from the students.
The other classes I attended were:
- Managing the Don't Shoot – Larry Lindenman
- Gaming the Streetz – Eve Kulczar
- Low Light Equipment – Tom Givens
- Optimizing Classroom Instruction – Tiffany Johnson, Esq.
- Metro-Tactical – Julie Thomas
- Urban Insurgency – Dr. Martin Topper
- Lasers, Red Dots, Iron Sights – Karl Rehn
- FBI Research: The Deadly Mix – John Hearne
- International Terror Operations – Gary Greco/John Holschen
- Dry Practice: An Evidence Based Approach – John Hearne
One of the pleasures of going to Conferences is getting to talk and catch up with my peers. Some of the conversations I had were:
- Cecil Burch – the Venn Diagram of Realization, instructor goals in attending conferences
- Paul Sharp – human gun interaction
- Skip Gochenour – Homicide trials
- Caleb Causey – Non-verbal communication
- Tom Givens – Standards that replicate incident skills
- Richard Jenkins – Dry Fire Flash Cards and skill development
- John Farnam – Attitudes of older fighters
- Gary Greco – American soccer team development, American Mindset (competition and confront/dominate)
- John Murphy – immediacy of action
- Mark Luell – I won't let you take this from me
- Chuck Haggard – performance of .38 Special and .22 LR in gel and adversaries, S&W metal autoloader maintenance
- Karl Rehn – iron sights, lasers, and red dots
- Julie Thomas – tuning a class presentation
I'll have more to report about the Conference in future posts.
Serious mistakes gunowners make
UPDATE: The recording is now available as a download for $9.95. Link
In the wake of the San Bernardino massacre, there have been increasing calls, even by the police, for legally authorized people to carry their guns wherever and whenever they can. In addition, the FBI recently reported a record number of gun sales on Black Friday.
While I firmly believe that Armed Citizens and off-duty police officers can make a difference in preventing and stopping such massacres, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Gunowners, whether carrying a gun or keeping a gun at home, can and do make mistakes, sometimes very serious ones. I have some concern about brand new gunowners carrying their guns with them everywhere without some education about how to do it safely. That may not be a popular view but that's the way I see it.
I have often chastised the training community for failing to create non-traditional educational materials that can reach a broader array of gunowners. As a step toward alleviating that, I have created a new audio CD called:
Serious Mistakes Gunowners Make – Real life examples of how they get into trouble and how to prevent it
This audio CD is a refined version of my Negative Outcomes with Firearms presentation at the 2015 Rangemaster Tactical Conference. My Rangemaster presentation was very well received as groundbreaking about issues that are rarely discussed openly in the gun community.
The 'Concealed Carry Mistakes' lists I frequently see usually revolve around simplistic issues, such as:
- Equipment issues; gun, holster, clothing, etc.
- Not getting enough training
- Not 'knowing' the law
But the really serious Mistakes that gunowners make are things like:
- Shooting yourself
- Shooting someone you shouldn't have, either intentionally or unintentionally
- Getting needlessly arrested
- Getting shot by the police
- Leaving guns where unauthorized persons can access them, resulting in tragedies
- Frightening innocent people around you
- Endangering innocent people needlessly
The 12 tracks, over 1 hour, on the CD are:
- Introduction
- Brandishing/threatening
- Chasing after the end of a confrontation
- Downrange failures (shot an innocent while shooting at a threat)
- Intervention
- Lost/stolen guns
- Mistaken identity shootings
- Negligent discharges, including self-inflicted gunshot wounds and Unintentional shootings
- Police Involvement
- Poor judgement
- Unauthorized access (generally by small children)
- Unjustifiable shootings, including warning shots
Each track explains the topic and the issue, provides a real life example of an occurrence and the consequence, and gives some thoughts about how to prevent it. My object is to provoke thinking about the fact that firearms are deadly weapons and can be terribly unforgiving of carelessness, incompetence, and stupidity.
Note that I can't possibly explain nor control every way to avoid the Mistakes so I don't assume any liability for those who listen to the recording and still end up having an issue. Life is not fair; if you want guarantees, buy a toaster.
This could be your most important purchase of the year. Making any one of the Mistakes almost inevitably leads to tragedy or significant legal expense. The price of the CD is miniscule in comparison.
The CD is available on my mobile friendly webstore.
Final note: Because I want this information to be widely distributed, I am granting a limited re-distribution license to anyone who purchases the CD. People do it anyway but I will make it formal and encourage it.
Purchase of the CD includes a license to reproduce five (5) copies of the CD for distribution to fellow gunowners. This is a limited license. It does NOT include posting copies of the CD or any of its tracks on the Internet in a downloadable format. Nor does the license include widely broadcasting the CD nor its tracks via email.
Please be safe and encourage fellow gunowners to do the same. I hope I can make a contribution to that with this CD.

Research is used to unlock technologies, offering new recipes and bonuses. Research is performed by labs consuming different types of science packs.
Only one technology can be researched at once in single player. In multiplayer research progress is shared between forces. The technology that labs will research is changed using the technology screen which can be accessed by pressing T.
Research progress for a technology is divided into units. Each unit has a time and a science pack cost. When research is in progress labs with the required amount of science packs for one unit will consume the amount and contribute towards research progress.
The time a technology will take to research can be calculated using this function:
time = (time cost × units ÷ labs) seconds
Crafting science packs by hand is not feasible because of the amount of resources and time needed to craft them. They are the main incentive for automation throughout the whole game.
The insertion of science packs into labs may be automated using inserters and transport belts as shown in the following screenshots.
Since version 0.15 there are 7 science packs, requiring a more complex build than the previous version depicted below, which works for 0.14. Note that inserters can take science packs from labs and hand them to other labs, making a lab chain a feasible solution. Other options include using 3 belts(because space science is only relevant very late into the game) or a sushi belt.
