The legallyconcealed.com vlogger above is as unequivocal as he is taciturn: warn any home invaders that you're armed and the cops are on their way. Makes sense to me. Especially if you've called 911 and put the phone down, so the service will record everything you say, for use in your defense. Only…is it possible that you'd want to ambush one more bad guys coming to rob, rape or kill you and/or your loved ones? What if you're not in a defensible position? Do you really want to sacrifice the advantages of speed, surprise and violence of action? I say it depends on the situation; that you don't want to commit to ANY default course of action. Have a plan but know that it probably won't survive first contact with the enemy. What say you?
Question of the Day: Do You Verbally Warn a Home Invader?
Dude is intense.
I like the calm intensity. Much better than the uncomfortable mania of, say, Yeager.
He seemed to have a crazed look in his eyes. I would feel more comfortable having a couple beers with Yeager than this guy but I do like this guy too.
Yeager hate is so 10 minutes ago… Yeager haters are terrified that some Fudd or liberal will accuse him of enjoying shooting. Gotta be a serious operator so I have credibility among people who hate me anyway? Nah, lighten up.
If I am aware that someone is in the house, but I'm "barricaded" in my bedroom, I'll do the 4 step warning taught in the NRA PPIH course with 911 on the phone should they start banging on my door.
* Get out!
* The police are on their way!
* I have a gun!
* If you come in I'll shoot!
If it's more of a surprise attack and I don't even have time for the phone call I'll let the muzzle blast do the talking for me.
DISCLAIMER: I live alone and don't need to herd any children to safety, which would require a different approach (i.e. being quiet until everyone is accounted for).
Generally agree.
Default to using a warning (or several), but never do anything tactically unsound in any given situation.
If someone is actually searching for the intruder (because some people have medium sized homes with kids) I "think get the fudge out, I have a gun" would be sufficient.
Agree that getting family to safety requires a different approach.
The multi-phrase warning being recorded on 911 proves that you really didn't want to have to shoot, but once those warning are issued the sound of a door breaking down followed by gunshots should help bolster the self defense claim.
That makes sense. Just as a tie goes to the runner, a tie should go to the home defender. If one guy is the homeowner standing there in boxers, with a crying wife, terrified kids, and a broken down door, while the other guy is a crackhead stranger lying in a pool of blood in the hallway in the middle of the night, I'm giving the benefit of the doubt to the homeowner.
I also live alone; my kids live in separate time zones.
Everybody that needs to get into my house knows how to do so quietly.
Everybody that needs to get into my house knows to call me first to see if I'm home.
Anybody making a noisy unexpected entrance will get ONE chance to turn and leave.
I live alone. So….BAM! Call 911. "Intruders in my home, I warned them to leave….I had a gun. I was forced to stop them from attacking me". If one or more survive, my word against theirs. Did I lie….yep. Do I care….nope. Upside is one or more scumbags who will NOT victimize someone else. That's called a win win.
Except you just admitted to thousands(millions?) of people online your intention to lie to law enforcement…..
To Hell with that. I'll say it right here, right now: If someone forcefully breaks into my place, I confront him with weapon in hand, and he doesn't immediately either drop on the floor or run for the exit, he is going to die right where he stood, and thanks to the Castle Doctrine there isn't a goddamn thing any prosecutor can do about it.
If you're worried about that kind of statement being used against you in court, consider moving to state that protects the rights of its citizens over its criminals.
Suprise attack? How about just the actual times to draw and fire (using college kids unfamiliar with firearms) compared to the reaction times for a trained LEO (to simple light/sound signals vice actual scenarios). Even under these parameters which give a best case timing for a LEO reaction relative to a suspect– the LEO loses.
If you're facing someone with a firearm in their hand, they'll have shot you two to three times before you can finish the sentence "I have a gun". And having committed to the course of action of yelling a warning, it will delay you changing course/action as circumstances change.
exactly right.
Yeah, I figure I'll yell get out or I'll shoot. If they don't, that's when the #4 buck comes out.
Blam! I'm armed! 911! In that order.
They get the same warning they give me.
be ready to do jail time, then.
Really? Maybe you don't live in the free part of America but for the rest of us a dead dirt bag in the house is not getting anyone sent to jail. Outside? Eh, that's a lot more complicated.
If someone is in my house with a weapon they have forfeited any opportunity for warning. The fight should be over before one party in the fight even knows it is begun. If I can ambush them without their knowledge, I most certainly will.
I agree that the intruder has forfeited his right to any kind of warning at the point, but look at it from the other side: you could potentially avoid shooting someone. I know people like to talk about stopping bad guys, but best case you're going through a lengthy and expensive investigation. Worst case, your life as you currently know it, is over. If I could SAFELY end the situation without firing, I'd absolutely do so.
If I'm not somewhere where I can safely issue the warning, then all bets are off. "Survive the fight" has to always be your number one priority.
and what if they don't have a weapon?
what if it is your daughter or son sneaking out or back into the house?
use your most powerful weapon first – your brain. Shooting first and asking questions later, if you aren't under attack, is incompetent.
If the intruder has gotten past the fence, the outside dogs, the dead bolted steel door, the inside dog, and they are armed, they are going to win the wrong end of Remington 870.
Weapon? I'm not waiting to see a weapon. I will assume that anybody who forces entry into my home while I am here is both armed and intent on doing people inside the home bodily harm. Fortunately I live in the free state of TX, where a jury would be instructed to assume that anybody forcibly entering my home was both intent on dojng me serous bodily harm and capable of doing just that.
I think it's generally a good idea to warn the intruder under most circumstances – if for no other reason than to identify that they're not someone you don't want to shoot. Like a teenager sneaking in after breaking curfew. Also, there's nothing wrong with a defensive gun use where no shots need to be fired and the suspect surrenders to wait for the police to pick them up.
Now, if they've battered your door down or done something else that makes their intentions plain, then it doesn't make much sense to warn them and lose your advantage.
mostly agree – but even most perps who kick the door in aren't looking for a gunfight and will flee when warned.
I have locks on all of my doors, an alarm system that will be blaring if you break in, and a big guard dog that will be barking from my room. Those are your 3 strikes. If you decide to continue an incursion into my home, the next thing you'll hear is a succession of loud booms emanating from the end of a gun barrel.
Right there with you, NYC2AZ.
You have to have gotten through layers (window shields, wedged windows, {or outer security door, then steel door, and steel no-kick frame with dual-side frame locks if you are bold enough to just bust in the front door}, alarm, then dogs) to get into the home. If someone is still coming up the stairs at that point they are most certainly up to no good thing.
All of those layers are deterrence. A pro, or those truly dedicated to getting in, will get in. That said, if they are that dedicated to getting into my abode, I don't think they are there to give me the publisher's clearing house check. Either bad guys, or uniforms that got the wrong house. Hopefully the layers will slow the uniforms down enough that they don't 'accidentally' shoot my kids and dogs.
Exactly right. If those deterrents aren't enough for an intruder(s) to turn around, I will expect the worst of intentions and respond in kind. That being said, AZ is different than other states. If I still lived in NYC, I would expect even a 911 call with clear cut self defense audio recording would probably land me in jail.
In the military they call that I&W, Indications and Warning. Things that you consider in assessing the intent of an unknown force/individual/unit etc.
If a leo shot my kids or dogs after forceing their way into my house, uniform or not ALL bets are off and they deserve the .45 thats about to vacuum clean their skull.
Hell, Doc, here in Vegas they don't even bother with "accidental". They just decide that your house will serve their purposes as a outpost, bust down your door, truss you up, then proceed to squat about using your home as a base. So much for any form of 'due process'.
With things like that happening, why should any other form of trust or competence be expected.
Not in Az.
You step in my home uninvited the only warning you get is me raising my gun.
That is why I live in Arizona, I spent 10 years in Alaska after I bailed out of loonie leftie So Cal. and wont ever go back untill they run all the leftie loonies out of the state!!!!!!
Uhm… well… is BANG!!! a verb?
Unless you have children or guest.
The tactical advantage of surprise is priceless. Plus, if there is more than one intruder, the second intruder will most likely bug out. Then call 911 and ask for the clean-up crew.
Remember what happened to the homeowner who shot the thief (female) recently and then was arrested? He was arrested. He made the mistake of warning them first. If he had just shot them, he would probably be free now.
You owe nothing to evil.
I guess it depends on the state. In NJ, having it on the 911 tape that you tried to avoid a reason to shoot *should* help, since the state is so anti-self defense.
In a more free state that doesn't create laws for the protection of criminals, there's probably more acceptance of just ridding the world of the criminal.
It seems with many news stories of defensive shooting in anti-states that even with that you are still likely to spend time in lock up, get your ass sued off, have the perp's friends and relatives show up to harass you, and be vilified by those around you for having the sheer nerve to have actually defended yourself with lethal force. After all, you are just supposed to lay down and die. That poor person in your house is just looking for support themselves and you are denying them that right.
/end sarcasm (or not)
If they try to arrest me for defending myself or family there will be another gun fight. Any leo trying to force an ilegal act on you is guilty of a felony and you can defend yourself with what ever force nessasary. That is acording to the federal courts!!!!!
John B:If we're both thinking of the same guy, he executed them both after he had neutralized the threat they posed. In free states, you can claim self defense if you shoot an intruder for not complying with a demand to leave or hit the floor, but if you then walk up and put several more bullets into them after they're down, you've just committed murder.
Nope…an invader was already warned by the locks, dogs, and security system…now its their ass
If feasible… like if I can put a good door between us and/or I have no reason to think they're armed. I'd rather risk a live crook getting away than blow away some poor drunk shmuck who got lost and walked in the wrong door. But ultimately that's the kind of decision that it too situational to know…
(probably a bad example since I believe in a locked door at night, but still…)
To everybody who says "I'll let my gun do the warning."
There's shit that will never come back to bite you in court, and then there's the stuff you guys just said.
In any situation where a shooting would be legal ( your in danger ) you would not be required to warn an attacker. If your NOT in danger but may be, say a guy is trying to kick in your door but has not yet, then a warning would be ok.
I live in Oklahoma, and assist in carry classes. We have NO "duty to retreat". I take defensive action against an intruder….I have no kids to worry about. ANYONE who forcibly enters my home, is an unwanted person. I know the layout of my home, they don't. And our (Oklahoma) laws state, that no action, civil, or criminal, can be brought against me, by a survivor, or any one else. (family) if it's a lawful shoot.
Arm yourself, deal with the threat, reload, dial 911
If your reloading, then being able to call 911 doesn't even seem like it will be possible in the near future. You will be to busy in a hefty firefight.
I am right on in agreement with 'Mr. Intensity' in the video. That describes my position perfectly (with a less intense gaze). I have no desire to shoot the person, but I will if the situation demands it.
That said, you may not be given the luxury of calling 911 and giving a warning, depending on the proximity (or armament) of the bad guy at the time you first are made aware of their actual presence.
I doubt that any intruder would be able to hear a verbal warning from me once my three dogs realized someone was breaking into my house.
Any defense plan needs to be flexible, because there are too many variables to lock into one mode of action. Is there one attacker? three? seven? Is only one of them armed? two? three? six? What are they armed with? which one is the most dangerous? Where are your family members? Safely behind you in a defenseable location? Scattered through out the house? Me personally, I'm not warning anyone that has already intruded in my house, unless I am reasonably certain that such a warning will greatly induce them to immediately leaving out the door.
Before I shoot any criminal who broke into my home, I'd warn him that I am armed, prepared to shoot and have several bottles of Resolve put aside for the post-shooting cleanup.
I wondered where all the Resolve went.
Its all those old guys lining up at the Walmart loading docks at 5am, buying it all up.
Guess I'll have to put that on my list for next gun show.
Sure hope no one starts a run on the Depends.
The run on the depends starts after the shooting.
Crime Scene Cleanup Should Never Be Done By Amateurs
Professional, Compassionate, Local Service Available 24/7
Relax with an adult beverage, let the pros handle it…
The cost will probably send you to the poorhouse…
I will issue one and only one warning to anyone attempting unlawful entry. If they do not heed that warning, I will do what I have to do to protect my home and property.
I do not want to shoot anyone–not even an anonymous thug who happened to pick the wrong house. If I can make them leave without firing a shot, I consider that the ideal resolution. Unfortunately this is not a world of ideals.
But that is an attainable goal.
Agreed. I think it would be hard for me to live with myself knowing I'd justifiably killed a teenage kid committing his first B and E. On the other hand, I'm not sure I'd have the presence of mind to issue a warning or even the strength of voice to do so!
Castle Doctrine State = No Warning.
Call 911 for clean-up after I call my attorney.
Generally, no. I don't want to give up any tactical advantage I may have, to a misguided sense of fair play. That's not absolute. Depending on circumstances, my plan is subject to revisions..
What you can lawfully do will depend on the state you live in. Personally, I feel that warning an intruder and telling them you have a gun, only gives them more information that can be used in subsequent intrusions.
I would yell out "Police are on the way" or keep silent and wait to see what will happen. If he comes into the bedroom, that means I fear for my life as well as my spouses life. In that case. I would probably shoot, too late for warning!
It is critical to know your State's law on home invasions. When I got my Minnesota permit I was told that Minnesota is NOT a Castle Doctrine jurisdiction. It is a misdemeanor to burglarize an UN-occuped residence; a felony to invade an OCCUPIED residence. One has a right to use lethal force to repel a felony; but, not a misdemeanor. Consequently, you may shoot and wound a burglar who then claims that he believed the house was unoccupied. You are thereupon accused of having used excessive force beyond that authorized by law. My recollection is a somewhat casual description of the problem.
– – – Most important issue is to reinforce your perimeter so that you have ample notice of the invasion. If you have no time to recognize the evidence of the invasion and respond accordingly then you are unlikely to make an appropriate response. That will cost you in your trial for assaulting the home invader.
– – – Next most important issue is to understand the law in your State and then understand the appropriate rules-of-engagement. I can not understand how so many self-defenders are so ignorant of the most fundamental aspects of rules-of-engagement. They wind up convicted of manslaughter or murder.
It may not matter under the law if the criminal thought the house empty. While intent would certainly matter in some crimes, the fact is he broke into an occupied home period. Though B&E and burglary of a habitat are felonies in most jurisdictions
"I say it depends on the situation; that you don't want to commit to ANY default course of action. "
This. Ten thousand times, this.
+1 – Yup. It all depends on the circumstances. One size does not fit all.
As for me, depends on if there's time to do so or not. I would only do it simply as a formality in the unfortunate event that I would have to pull the trigger. My think is that it would help should I ever have to go to court.
"See, my client at least had the decency to warn them first, your Honor! They knew what was coming after that." 😉
I'd say, if you get the drop on them and they don't see you, warn them. If they get the drop on you, come out shooting.
If they're trying to get in, attempt to warn them off. If they're already inside all bets are off.
Morally I'd feel obligated to warn the intruder if doing so didn't put myself or others in danger. There's always a chance it's just a drunk guy in the wrong house (or cops for that mater). I wouldn't want to shoot someone who didn't have it coming. As far as calling 911, I'd take care of business myself and worry about whether the cops needed to be involved later.
If someone has broken into my domicile, I feel no duty or responsibility to engage them in a meaningful dialogue as to their intentions or future course of action. The fact that they broke into my domicile tells me all I need to know about their intentions and future course of action.
I yell "hold your line!"
Then while shooting I yell "stop resisting!"
I have a roommate, so I know better than to shoot immediately. I also live in a hundred-year-old house, so disturbing noises in the night are common. We're both ex-military, we occasionally set up challenge-response words. Not as often as we should, but probably often enough. Shouting "pineapple" (for example) at a possible intruder is more than enough for me. I also benefit from living in a state where an uninvited guest is legally considered a lethal threat. So if the sinister silhouette doesn't answer "banana" when asked "hedgehog?" I will shoot first. Current lead of choice is 185 grain hollowpoint from Buffalo Bore, with the 870 project not far away in the safe.
I can't stress the idea of challenge words enough. It's free, and there's no reason you shouldn't do it. I'd rather yell "purple" than "I have a gun," because I am ready to kill someone. I actually know what the 911 response is around here, and it is not good (they don't know where we are). I also know that my neighbor has three young girls, and anyone breaking into my house for easy money will likely break into their house next. They have a nice house, and a trampoline. Formula for frequent sleepovers. If someone breaks in to my house, I want to make sure it's their last B&E. Not for my property, but for the neighborhood's. And the neighbors.
I also know how I handle deaths I'm tangentially involved in, and I'm not going to let that happen again.
For anyone unfamiliar with the challenge word system, think of a random word. Now try to find the last word someone might come up with as a response to that word. When presented one, respond with the other. It's that easy.
I wondering how many souls have arrived at judgment with a ringing in their ears and asking St Peter "why was that guy yelling hedgehog at me?"
It depends, did the intruder verbally warn me that they were going to intrude?
It's better if I shut up. I'm a stealth guy + the temptation to do action-movie one-liners would be too great.
Anything you say, CAN and WILL be used AGAINST you in a court of law. Everything else is hearsay. Strange how that works. The police will testify against you, not for you, regardless if it's a 911 recording or an officer with a recording device or recollection from memory or written police report.
Are you going to trust government with the chain of custody of data that you do not have whole and unfiltered access? Chain of custody documentation has all the veracity of a restraining order. Less, because there is no independent means of verifying the chain of custody.
As mentioned on this very site, invoke your Fifth Amendment rights and advise the 2nd responders that questions will be answered by your legal counsel. Learn the minimum you must say and then keep your mouth shut. Don't let an ambitious, over zealous prosecutor use you as a means to further their career goals.
Just my opinion.
Beyond opinion; it's good advice.
Love the term "2nd responders"!
Rules are to broken of course, but here's an example of someone that probably would not have shot his daughter if he had issued a warning
Of course breaking rule 4 is the main issue here; but from a PRACTICAL standpoint, if he had issued a warning pretty good chance his daughter would have said something, he would have recognized her voice… etc..
Layers of defense are important, so are layers of rules/protocol to prevent accidents.
He probably didn't have time to say anything, or issue any warnings. the report said that she was running towards the door where he was. If she had indeed, been an intruder, he would not have had time to do anything but shoot.
Sad story, I wonder if the daughter knew her father had a gun, probably did??
Q: "…is it possible that you'd want to ambush one more bad guys coming to rob, rape or kill you and/or your loved ones?"
A: Do you recognize them from a previous break in or attack? That may affect your evaluation. So too would be: is a defensive shooting worth the fallout sure to follow where a non-discharge DGU would stop the intruder and cause him/her to depart? If you can identify them they'll be good for the burglary or assault when and if caught. Knowing their target is armed will likely disuade them from returning unless they have a special attraction to you or your home.
Nj, legally required to:
the use of force is justifiable…only if the actor first requests the person against whom such force is used to desist from his interference with the property, unless the actor reasonably believes that (a) such request would be useless; (b) it would be dangerous to himself or another person to make the request or (c) substantial harm will be done to the physical condition of the property which is sought to be protected before the request can effectively be made."
That's just for use of "force" (i.e. pushing someone away, using pepper spray, etc.)
"Deadly force" has a whole additional set of conditions, and protecting property is not a reason in NJ.
PS, I've also had discussions with the wife and kids about "who does what, where do they move/when",
in a mall shooting scenario, or a
walking down the dark street approached by aggressive panhandler/mugger, and the
classic stopped at red light in rough neighborhood carjack…
kids now being teenagers, they have become aliens, or I have,
as they think I am nuts, barely one step above a goofy Doomsday Prepper….;)
but the hope is it sticks, when tshtf.
Hell yeah, you give a verbal warning.
If they choose not to abide it, you've done all you can.
Moreover, this could keep you from accidentally shooting a loved one.
Honestly I'd probably not warn anyone. I'm living in a "changing" neighborhood south of Chicago. I don't think I'd yell & 12gauge WOULD be at the ready. No racking sound either. If some idiot was pounding on a door I might yell. In the house-all bets are off..
The one time I was in a house that a break in occured I racked a 12 ga. According to all the tacticool mall ninjas(who seem to have no problem with lighting their ar's up like xmas trees) I should have died in a hail of auto weapons fire from a well trained team of uber terrorists.
Guess what? The bad guy left in a hurry and no shots were fired. If at all possible and it doesn't put me in danger(more danger than a hostile already in my home?) I will dial 911 and shout warning/threat to bad guy.
The best gun fight is the one that don't happen.
"The best gun fight is the one that don't happen."
Just like STDs and kids.
I'm probably going to hell for that one.
I'll take a poll amongst my kids and grandkids and get back to you on that one.
The best gun fight is one where you remember to bring a gun!
Well as in all things it depends on the situation. There's just no cut and dry response here.
If I have on intruder and I have a enough confidence that he's unarmed then I'm likely to give him warming and give him a chance to surrender or just leave unharmed. I'd obviously prefer him to surrender as I'd prefer to have him arrested and take out of general circulation.
However if I'm stuck in a home invasion situation there will be NO warming given. The first intruder that comes into my field of vision will be fired upon. Possibly multiple times. Reason being this might force the entire group to break and run.
The later example might not be the 'right' way to do it. However I tend to believe in the concept that it's far better to be judged by twelve than be carried by six. Even more so if I'm in a home protecting other people.
"I'd prefer to have him arrested and taken out of circulation"
With today's overcrowding of jails and the justice system in general, there's a good chance the "would be intruder" would be back out on the streets in a day or two.
There's also a good chance he will mighty pissed off that you turned him in, and may devise a plan to return to your residence, adequately armed, with intentions of making you "pay" for your interference into his new chosen profession.
Warning, yes. Not shooting somebody will save me a ton of money and time. Shooting someone, even if they richly deserved it, is a mess. You have to spend hours with lawyers, prosecutors, cops, maybe juries and judges. I can do without that.
No warnings. Just a triple tap. Then I yell, "Hey kids we're eatin dinner tonight!!!!"
Even with the Castle Doctrine in place, I have to assume cannibalizing the intruder's corpse is bound to get you a strange look or two from the prosecution.
I am trying to imagine how a teenager would relay the scene to their parents if you got the drop on them and while holding them at gunpoint rattled off flawlessly a movie quote like;
Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. 'Cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live nor win. That's just the way it is.
I'm sorry, did I break your concentration? I didn't mean to do that. Please, continue, you were saying something about best intentions. What's the matter? Oh, you were finished! Well, allow me to retort. What does Marsellus Wallace look like?
There's a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon you." Now… I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, that meant your ass. You'd be dead right now. I never gave much thought to what it meant. I just thought it was a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker before I popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice. See, now I'm thinking: maybe it means you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr. 9mm here… he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or it could mean you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. And I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd.
I am guessing that urine would starting flowing as soon as they realize the connotation, but I wonder if their parents will get he reference?
One thing is for sure, if this happens at night, and don't plan on warning the invader first, you better be 100% sure they are an invader, and not just a family member or something.
Not a black or white question. If you treat it as a yes or no question then you are headed for big trouble. No two situations are alike and how you treat that situation may very well dictate what the rest of your life is going to be like. Make sure you know what the persons motives are, make sure you know who the intruder is or is not. More than one house hold death has occurred because Junior got up in the middle of the night to get a glass of milk out of the refrigerator. I know situations where warning the intruder can put others in danger by allowing the intruder an opportunity to gain an advantage or hostage. If they are outside and trying to get in, I am going to tell them, "I have called the police, I have a gun and I WILL use it." If they are kicking my door down and rushing into my home, then it is going to be BANG! "Stop or I'll shoot." This is anything but a stupid question, and for those that can not answer the question, they need to get firearms instruction. It isn't a game, there are no take backs and the person you shoot isn't going to get up between commercial breaks to be seen as the bad guy on some other show. Knowing that what you did was the true and correct thing to do as opposed to "I could of." "I should have." "I would have." is very important. Not to mention even if you are justified in the shooting not understanding your rights or how to answer a question by the police may end you up in prison. Training, instruction and practice will go a long way to make sure that what you do is an informed and knowledgeable action rather than simply pointing a gun at a vague and questionable target and pulling the trigger.
Would I warn a home invader? It depends on the situation and my instincts at the time.
Verbally warn first at the top of your lungs. It sets the stage for a potential witness within earshot to confirm you tried to solve the issue without first resorting to deadly force, a huge mark in your favor in any ensuing court case.
Trick question, there's more than one correct answer! Calling 911, "I have a gun," "bang, bang," and checking them and me for a pulse can happen in any order.
I suspect I'd use the strobe function on the TLR-1HL to give the warning… after that, the ball is in the invader's court. This of course assuming I'm not separated from him/her by a door or wall.
For me it's not about giving a warning but target identification.
I remember a case about ten years ago go where a father
accidentally shot his 16 year old daughter sneaking back in
after a party. This alone turned me away from the 'shoot-
first-ask-questions-later' mentality. That said if you know your
target then giving a warning is akin to fighting fair; and fighting
fair is a good way to end up in a body bag.
Depends. Did the home invader notify me of his impending intentions before he came in uninvited?
Hells to the no. Uninvited, trespass, B&E, etc. Double tap is my warning.
Does a non-verbal audible warning count? Like "Click".
You will get a warning, mister would be criminal, despite the previous "warnings" from my steel reinforced doors, deadbolt, dogs, and security film glass.
If you survive 77 grain OTM to the upper thoractic cavity, be prepared to be civilly sued for ruining my hardwood floors (and yes, I do value my hard wood floors more than I do the life of a career criminal. I would also place my dogs on a higher pedestal than them). I would sue their family too depending on the circumstances.
This is an interesting concep…and a difficult one to give a good rule for following. Personally, I'd hesitate to call 911 first. First, that bump you heard may be the cat or some other random sound outside. Calling 911 has police coming to your house while you're going around with a gun clearing the area and they find a dude in his undies with a gun…and no bad guy…well, I just never want to be holding a gun in the presence of police that are going into a "dangerous" situation…not good for my health. Furthermore, if you're are CERTAIN it's a bad guy, you don't have time to make a phone call… Maybe in some larger homes you do, but in my house, if I recognize a REAL threat, I have SECONDS to take action… I have alarms and everything but by the time I see someone, I have seconds. I'm not calling the police for a possum walking up my driveway or a dead battery in the back door motion sensor.
I feel in my home, by the time I realize I need to be shooting, I'm grabbing my gun and opening fire. I don't have time to call.
I'd argue warning them only gives up your position and that you are armed. The idea of warning them is you give them the chance to retreat…or regroup/ready their arms. They gave up the chance of safe retreat when the decided to violate your home. Giving them any kind of a warning only serves against you. Yes, if you have the phone on and say that it can help in your judicial defense but if the person is armed and is now getting ready to shoot it out with you, you may not live to see your trial.
Heaven forbid the day you'd need to kill someone for ANY reason…let alone in your own kitchen or something…but if someone comes into your house at night, it is not only legally acceptable(in all free states), it is Biblically acceptable, to shoot them. During the day, you have the benefit of light…then they must be armed or pose a threat somehow. That's a fair enough restriction…but at the end of the day, I want to secure the safety of my family first and THEN I'll be calling 911. Now if you live in a 2000 sq foot mcmansion, first, congrats on the sweet house. Second, you might have the luxury to make a call…if you then choose to make a warning I'd give them a second before opening fire…and when I say second I mean "Get out!"bang. So maybe not even a second. Remember, they're the intruder…they came looking for trouble.
You can't write in stone what you will or will not say. To "program" your response could spell disaster, depending upon the situation in which you find yourself…IF you only program ONE response into your toolbox.
If the entry is a home-invasion (in this case, meaning "violent and tumultuous entry" with broken doors, locks…etc…), I don't feel you are giving yourself ANY advantage by issuing any type of warning. The invader has already showed a willingness to commit a violent act, and must be dealt with NOW. In this case, the likelihood of being able to dial 911, or get everyone to your hardened room will be about zero. Engage, and stop the threat RIGHT NOW.
Hopefully, you have a big, protective dog who will be deep in the invader's ass…or better still will have made the invader think better of your home as a good place to visit in the first place.
If the entry is a "surreptitious entry" and if you are lucky enough to have warning…then by all means dial 911 and issue a warning AFTER you have armed yourself and gathered your loved ones into a place of cover.
My home is not that large…just over 2000 sq ft on a single story. My wife and 10 year old daughter are the only people who I need to protect. My bedroom is right next to my daughter's at a 90-degree angle entry, so I don't have to go far to secure her. I am retired, and my wife is a currently-serving officer. Her job is to cover my butt while we go to my daughter's room and fort up in a SURREPTITIOUS entry situation while 911 is called. We have the aforementioned 95lb landshark who SHOULD be teeth deep into the ass of anyone who comes into our house illegally, so from cover I could issue a warning once my family was ensconced.
The response has to fit the situation.
"Do You Verbally Warn a Home Invader?"
Nope, goes to intent…
My wife and I have "emergency drills" for multiple things including fire or gas leak so that we each know what to do and no OODA loop issues.
The few times I've heard a "thump in the night" at our place the roles are… We get armed, she grabs the phone and stays out of the way, I kick off the "1 touch recorder" on my phone and announce loudly and clearly "If someone is in our house, we have called the police and they are on the way. We are armed and will defend ourselves. This is your opportunity to leave, NOW! In ten seconds I am releasing the dogs!"
The next steps involve her calling and me doing whatever is needed for the situation.
In one instance we had a 'possum chewing in through the back door screen that was just terribly impressed by our organization (LOL).

Washington. Aiming to bolster his case for a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico, President Donald Trump said on Monday he would make a televised address and visit the border this week as the government marked its 17th day of a partial shutdown.
Democrats, who now control the U.S. House of Representatives, have rejected Trump's demand for $5.7 billion to help build a wall. Without a deal on that sticking point, talks to fund the government have stalled.
Vice President Mike Pence said Trump had not made a decision about his threat to declare a national emergency and build a wall without congressional approval.
Asked about the possibility of legal challenges and whether the White House counsel's office had reviewed the matter thoroughly, Pence told reporters: "They're looking at it, and the president is considering it."
The president's speech, planned for 9 p.m. on Tuesday (0200 GMT Wednesday) and the border trip on Thursday underscored Trump's resolve not to back off his 2016 campaign promise to build a wall that he believes will stem illegal immigration and drug trafficking. He promised during the campaign that Mexico would pay for the wall. Mexico has refused to do so.
Democrats in Congress say a wall would be expensive, inefficient and immoral.
Pressure to reach a deal is likely to grow, however, as the effects of the shutdown are felt, including possible cuts in food stamp programs for the poor.
The acting director of the White House's Office of Management and Budget, Russ Vought, said tax refunds would be distributed despite the shutdown.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders announced the border trip on Twitter without providing details. The visit will likely highlight security concerns pushed by the administration as justification for the wall. The administration says there is a humanitarian and security crisis on the border.
"The president's position is: There is a crisis at the southern border, and Democrats are refusing to negotiate," Pence said.
The emphasis on a "crisis" could be the administration's attempt to lay the groundwork for a potential emergency declaration. Such a decision would almost certainly face a legal challenge.
Trump has tried to link terrorism to illegal immigration, without providing evidence, as justification for the plan. Democrats say there has been no evidence of suspected terrorists coming through the southern border and that Trump has no grounds to declare a national emergency over the issue.

Hills of Northeast strike an instant chord: Yami Gautam
Himachal-born actor draws analogy with "scenic" birthplace
GUWAHATI: For actor Yami Gautam, the hills of the Northeast strike an instant chord.
The Bollywood personality of Sanam Re and Vicky Donor fame, who was here on her second visit to the city, on Thursday, said that since she belonged to Himachal Pradesh, the greenery and the beauty of the region and its hills, rekindled memories of the north Indian state where she was born.
"This is my second visit to Guwahati and already I am in love with the hills and greenery. It is one of the most beautiful cities. Not just the closeness to nature, the food, the sweet people and their love adds to the beauty of the Northeast," Yami, attired in a red gown, said after inaugurating the flagship store of Reliance Jewels, a leading jewellery brand, on GS Road here.
Asked about what makes jewellery special, she said that it "was an extension to one's personality."
"Jewellery has always been an integral part of my life and I love exploring unique designs for different moments," she added.
The actor said that she was eager for another visit to the region soon.
"The love and warmth of the people and the culture that you have in the region is what we actors actually work for to earn. It makes the place more beautiful too. I love the Assamese gamosa (traditional towel), with which we are welcomed every time we come here. I have kept them at home. I wish we could have more handloom products and items made by artisans in Mumbai and other places," she said.
Asked about her fitness mantra, the actor who turned 30 on November 28 this year said that she exercises every day. "I just do any kind of physical activity I feel like doing. But I did have cake and macaroni with cheese on my birthday," she quipped.
On her latest film, Uri (based on the Surgical Strike), which is set for a January 2019 release, she said the experience she had with the cast, including co-actor, Vicky Kaushal, and crew was really good.

Sinn Féin welcomes publication of general scheme of Residential Tenancies (Amendment) Bill 2018 – Ó Broin
Sinn Féin Housing spokesperson Eoin Ó Broin TD has welcomed the publication of the general scheme of the Residential Tenancies (Amendment) Bill 2018. The Bill has the potential, if properly drafted, to strengthen enforcement around breaches of the rent pressure zone (RPZ) legislation.
Deputy Ó Broin said:
"We welcome the publication of the general scheme of this Bill, which will give greater protections to tenants living in RPZs by making it an office for landlords to increase rents above the 4% cap. It is also important that the Residential Tenancies Board be given real power and resources to police this change.
"However, we will be urging the Minister to amend his proposals outlined in his letter to the Housing Committee to include student specific accommodation within the rent pressure zone legislation.
"Students living in student specific accommodation under license agreements should be included under the rent pressure zone legislation.
"Currently, there is a great deal of uncertainty around this and students and their parents need clarity before the next academic term.
"We will be contacting the Minister for Housing directly on this issue outlining why these changes are urgently required to be included in this new Bill."

I did a small Raspberry Pi project called "JellyJamPreserve". It uses the Jack Timemachine to record audio on the toggle of a switch. It continuously records audio into a 5 minute circular buffer, and when the switch is turned on the buffer is dumped to a file and it starts recording audio to the file until the switch is turned off. In other words, if you turn the switch on at 1:05 pm and turn it off at 1:30 pm you will have an audio file with a recording from 1:00 pm to 1:30 pm.
I have it on the Tape Out of my mixer, recording everything from all the gear in my studio. I had the idea when a friend was playing with one of my synths, and I decided to record but I had already lost the beginning.
You can download it from https://github.com/robertodealmeida/jellyjampreserve. Enjoy!

asked Jun 07 '19 at 19:12 by Super8 (40)
Hello. I'd like to know if there's any way to capture CC's from an instrument directly into automation while i play them without first assigning them to any macros or that kind of stuff.
I'd really like them to work directly because i use a nord modular and mappings vary across every patch, so i want bitwig to pick whatever paremeter is being changed via the synth knobs and record it. The synth is configured to send standard midi CCs for those parameters.
Is there any way of getting this done?

Missing Markers at two locations
Missing Markers at two locations
Dedicated July 4, 1941 by Manitowoc County Historical Society
WRL-59: Benjamin Jones Memorial Plaques consists of two tablets honoring one Benjamin Jones, lauded as the father of the Manitowoc parks system. The tablets were dedicated in simultaneous ceremonies on July 4, 1941. One tablet was placed at the bandstand at Washington Park (above). The second was placed at the bandstand at Union Park (below).
I visited both locations on September 14, 2014. The Washington Park bandstand, and the entire park were thoroughly searched; no Benjamin Jones tablet was found. At Union Park, the bandstand has been razed; no Benjamin Jones tablet was found anywhere else on the grounds.
The inscription on both tablets read:
The site of this park was
the gift of
founder of Manitowoc
Manitowoc County Historical Society
Both tablets were dedicated same day. Harry Kelley was the speaker at Washington park and Ralph Plumb at Union Park. John G. Johnson presided at each event. Benjamin Jones was lauded at the father of Manitowoc parks system.
Benjamin Jones was both in Massachusetts in 1795. At the age of sixteen he enlisted in the War of 1812. He moved to Chicago in 1833 and became a successful merchant.Mr. Jones began speculating in land and purchased about 2,000 acres of timber land at the mouth of the Manitowoc River. Upon his arrival in 1837, he set up lumber mills, shipping the product to Chicago. His was the first house erected in Manitowoc where his daughter was the first white child born in the county.Benjamin Jones was a generous man donating sites for parks, schools and churches in Manitowoc. The present Washington and Union parks as well as the old Madison school grounds were his gifts.His only son, Hon. A.D. Jones, was mayor of Manitowoc from 1872 to 1877; city clerk from 1878 to 1881; and served one term as county registrar of deeds in 1881-1882.After a long and successful business career in Manitowoc dealing in real estate, millwork, and other business enterprises, "Uncle Ben", as he was affectionately known, died and was buried in Oakwood Cemeetery in Chicago in 1881.

Action and Adventure
Timothy Dalton is sometimes dismissed as an inferior James Bond, but he was actually rather interesting in the role, certainly a more serious 007 than his predecessor Roger Moore, as shown by this his second and last outing as the super-agent. This time round Bond's work is not just official but personal as he takes revenge against a ruthless gangster who tortured his friend Felix Leiter (and killed Leiter's new wife). Be warned, this is at times very nasty indeed.
This film has few uses of mild bad language and contains moderate bloody violence and injury detail.

Extraordinary day that took place on 30 June 2017 at the headquarters of the Pons Foundation in Madrid, where Bayer CropScience Iberia, CSIC, and UC3M shared an open discussion and discussion topics on the future of food, With special reference to transgenics and innovation in the food sector.
It is not a secret that many people die of hunger in the world, nor is it a secret that one of the goals globally accepted is to eradicate hunger, at least nobody dares to say that this second is not one of its objectives, we could say that Eradicating hunger would be a holistic, not an ideological one.
The human population grows at a faster rate than natural genetic improvements occur in slow evolutionary processes. Today's technology allows genetic modifications to be made today, with results similar to those produced in a genetic evolution, and in addition, with already evident evidence that they are not detrimental to health. In addition, this can be done already, without leaving trace or proof that there has been modification. The European Union, at the scientific level knows and has proven that there is no problem, and simply leaves the need to inform in etiquette as a right to know what is eaten, although after giving freedom to each country to regulate about these regulations. This is where ideology appears, and where countries with no particular interest in such products or markets, because they do not have companies and scientists in these contents, prohibit or hinder their entry, in short, that has been called protectionism for a long time .
Genetic modifications are used to obtain seeds with improved properties or capabilities in specific climates, etc., where it is especially interesting to use less soil than an ordinary crop, being able to triple this ability, that is, to produce more with less .
The technology is offering new solutions and advances in all fields, also for food, whose progress we have been benefiting with better health and quality, continues to advance in the digitization of agriculture, through sensorization, etc., Technology is agnostic, but politics does not seem to help against hunger.

The Toyota FJ lineup is very impressive with multiple models and strong followings that will continue to prosper as the years go by. The FJ60 models are some of the most beloved due to the great looks, simple systems and room for gear and passengers.
Offered here is one of the nicest FJ60's that we have come across in a long time. Originally sold out of Oregon where it stayed most of its life up until being bought by a father/son for a mild restoration to take the original rust free setup to the next level. This rig is setup incredibly well and the quality as well as originality to this truck is very impressive. Countless hours were spent on getting it to this level and over $10k was spent in the past few years. Huge file of service records and receipts accompany the vehicle along with many extra smog/emission items and original chrome trim if you would want to install it.
This FJ sits on a very modest 2in lift that is complimented nicely with the factory chrome 15in wheels with 31in BF Goodrich tires. The vehicle received a fresh repaint in December of 2016 in the original Alpine White color and matches up very well not only on the body but within the door jams and engine bay. Vehicle was also given a new winch ready front bumper and recharged A/C system along with new stereo and speakers. This vehicle starts up with ease and idles quietly. All lights, switches, gauges and wipers work and the horn even functions properly.
The list is long on all of the new items that were installed and will list them here; Weber carb and air cleaner, fuel pressure regulator, spark plugs and wires, brakes and master cylinder, Holley fuel pump, Redline fuel management system, A/C components, NOS Toyota oil cap, FJ mirrors, window tint, trailer hitch, alternator, washer fluid reservoirs, coolant fluid, brake fluid, clutch fluid, front fender lights, MAN-A-FRE exhaust and emission system, fuel and coolant hoses and lines, electric choke, and many little items that all add up quickly. After the truck was painted the entire underneath was power washed, POR degreased and treated with POR high heat paint and cleaned to a detailed state.
This is a highly desirable color and with all the new items and great looks, this is sure to impress anyone. Vehicle comes with the cool Yakima Cargo rack, factory owner's manual, tools, 3 keys, winter mats, and a clean title. We highly recommend a closer look as you will be very hard pressed to find a FJ in this condition with such low miles and has such a sweet look and feel to it. Prices are only going up on these 80's SUV's and this represents a smart choice for the money.

Last weekend Adam and I were supposed to go to Fredericksburg for a little getaway, but it was postponed due to reasons outside of our control. We decided to plan a couple of daily trips to take advantage of our cleared schedules. We spent a whole day in Fort Worth, and had a blast. Fort Worth is much more than the stockyards and rodeo.
Eat brunch at BREWED
BREWED is a Fort Worth local favorite because of their laid back atmosphere and delicious menu. Around every corner is another Instagrammable spot. The food and drinks make great photos too! Order the Lavender B's Knees (a lavender twist on the gin favorite) or their house made spicy Bloody Mary. There are plenty of sweet and savory brunch items to satisfy any brunch craving.
Ride bikes through Fairmont
Fairmont is one of Fort Worth's historical districts. It's a beautiful neighborhood with adorable houses and gorgeous trees. Since it is right off Magnolia Street, there are a ton of biking stations nearby.
Fort Worth has the shared biking system down. Download the BCycle app to find all of the charging stations in the area. Rent a bike for only $8 for 24 hours. They even have some electric bike options, which make long rides and going up hills much easier.
Day drinking on Magnolia Street
Magnolia has boomed over the last several years. There are tons of cute bars and restaurants on this walkable street. Several of the spots are open for brunch, so it's the perfect spot for day drinking. Others open in the early afternoon, which makes a great excuse to hang out and not leave Magnolia.
Fort Worth Zoo
Pretend to be kids again, and go check out the 4th ranked zoo in north America, according to USA Today. Feed the giraffes, meet the zookeepers and learn about the different animals, walk through the various inside areas, and even check out a whole section devoted to Texas animals. Wander through an African savannah, Australian outback, and even ride on a large carousel.
Dinner at Joe T Garcia's
Eat dinner at one of the most beautiful restaurants in DFW, Joe T. Garcia's. They are popular for their strong margaritas, salsa, family-style menu, and breathtaking gardens. Dinner consists of family-style enchiladas or fajitas. Simple, but delicious and flavorful. Not to mention, the tortillas are homemade and crazy good. Order a dozen to go. Be sure to bring cash, because they are a cash only bar and restaurant.
Weekends are busy and the line may be long, but it's worth the wait. Feel free to go to the bar and get a margarita or pitcher for the wait.
What are your favorite things to do in Fort Worth?

Changes in the air
Few work at surprising customers with novel and innovative products, says Ramesh Jain, chairman, GM Modular.
Interviewed by: Jayashree Mendes
As chairman, could you share your vision for the company and some set goals?
Since inception, GM has grown from a regional switch manufacturer to one of the leading international providers of switches and accessories, and intelligent home automation system solutions. GM, with its multitude of innovations, has been one of the most influential players in the industry.
Besides being the largest switch manufacturing company, we also look forward to lending people the right technology needed for a good lifestyle. The whole idea is to make the best possible product at the best price that can be enjoyed by each consumer who aspire fine living. The company plans to open exclusive experiential stores across every major city in the country so as to make sure that customers get the best of the world. We believe in using technology to provide people with the best amenities that calls for a good life.
Today we are a one stop shop for all architectural needs. From infrastructural projects to households, GM is not just innovative but also diverse. We have some prestigious clients like Cidco, Reliance-Retail, Aditya Birla Group, The Future Group, etc. The Siddhivinayak temple in Mumbai has been lit by GM LED lighting and luminaires. We partner with the best names in the industry and will continue to collaborate with the leading innovators around. Society always benefits from the exchange of technology that provides effective solutions.
You are in an industry that sees tough competition. How would you compare your products with those of the competition?
When something is good and accepted, it stands no competition. The sole idea has been to be able to reach to the people and their needs and not to promote what we have. So it becomes much easier in building the right relationship and building that trust when you are able to cater to the needs of the people. The world today is filled with plenty of choices. Multinationals are everywhere catering to everyone. To be honest, it does affect us until people find the same technology, same quality and all of this at a better price with a homegrown company.
If you had to list your strengths and weaknesses, what would they be?
Our greatest strength is the conviction we have in a better tomorrow. It is the most influencing factor at GM. We constantly make ourselves develop designs that reflect the contemporary urban lifestyle. We invest a lot of time in research only to develop what people need, to know how different it is from what already exists and if it will make life any simpler and better. Our products are designed for one and all, for every home that needs a touch of a new world.
To innovate is to reform. To reform is to change from the present to the next. And innovation is the sole idea in the foundation of GM. We are happy when our ideas help in materialising dreams. It's important for us to achieve the best quality, at the right price, so our customers can enjoy affordable luxury.
Rising demand for modular switches equipped with features such as child safety shutters, USB charging socket, regulators, and LAN connectors are driving technological advancements. This has a high cost of manufacturing. What do you think?
The idea of a smart home that answers to all the needs of the customer is the one that has been inspiring today's world. From entertainment products to security products, technological advancements will keep pushing the horizon further. The manufacturing sector is increasingly looking towards innovation to ensure productivity, especially in high-cost lifestyle. Gone are the times when security was a luxury or convenience was unaffordable. Some things may have an added cost but it cannot be compromised for the comfortable lifestyle we offer.
Consumer trends and developments are always impacting manufacturing. Lately there has been a resurgence in the manufacturing arena where there is a progressive shift in how manufacturing firms themselves are upgrading. GM believes that high-cost of manufacturing is a constituent of better product and it is of fundamental importance for innovation to achieve its goal.
You have exclusive tie-ups with Disney and Swarovski, besides for technology. Brief us on some of the benefits of this.
We are spread across the country and in several parts of the world. It is the reason we believe in constant innovation, and making products that bring ease of life without taking any extra space within your home. The tie-up with Disney and Swarovski brings in several advantages including establishing a reputation and in building an attractive image before consumers.
Disney has entertained us for years together with its lifelike characters. The animation movies have pleasantly occupied children, youth and the also the old. Timeless characters like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Little Mermaid, Snow White, Hannah Montana, Cinderella, etc. have entered our lives entertaining us all the way through. By bringing Disney to people's homes with switch plates and night lamps, we have brought Disney even much closer.
The magical charm of the crystals transforms any given object to its best. With Swarovski, we have added this spellbinding magical touch of the crystals to our switch cover plates. Swarovski is an expression of pure passion towards a luxurious lifestyle. This exclusive range of cover plates come in distinct designs to suit one's tastes and style. When you have good brands to associate with, it develops a good image of a company's products in the mind of consumers ensuring good recognition and and builds up positive sentiment which further strengthens the company's position amongst competitors.

Logan may or may not actually be the biggest cat in the world, but these days he's one of the most popular. More than 22 million people have viewed video of the tubby tabby waddling through the parking lot of the Best Western Silver Fox Inn in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire, before throwing himself down at the feet of a visiting guest.
According to the hotel's Facebook page, Logan has become something of a local attraction in New Hampshire, with guests visiting the inn just to meet him. "He's a big kitty and everybody loves Logan. Sometimes people come for a first visit but they've already heard about Logan...the legend grows!" one post explains.
Other photos show Logan lounging belly-up in a leather armchair and sprawled out on the floor acting as a fluffy door stopper.
Of course, many have expressed concern over the giant puss's pulchritude."You need to stop feeding your cat. It's cruel and there is no excuse. You're killing that cat," wrote one Facebook user.
As with humans, the sources of feline obesity aren't always so easy to identify—or to correct. One recent study found that more than 50% of U.S. house cats are overweight or obese. Sometimes the causes are over-feeding and a sedentary lifestyle, while other times glandular conditions or the random chance of genetics may be to blame.
Whatever the status of Logan's health, it's clear that the chubby kitty has become a beloved local icon. Here's hoping he has a long, happy—and healthy!—life ahead of him.

Last month I shared what's inside my knitting case and today I talk about the supplies I use over and over. When it comes to knitting, you basically just need yarn and needles.
YARN: I don't like wool on my skin. So, I knit everything with yarn that has no wool in it. Not even a little bit. I prefer cotton. It does not only feel better on my skin it's also easier to handle when you are doing laundry. Knitted pieces out of wool need a special treatment (most things you cant wash in your washer) but knitted pieces out of cotton can be washed by 30°C without a problem.
My favorite three brands are: Lana Grossa, Linea Pura by Lana Grossa and Lang Yarns. Linea Pura yarns are never with wool so that's my go to yarn. With Lana Grossa and Lang Yarns I always check the composition.
Every yarn comes with a label that shows you the composition. I always, always check the label to make sure there is no wool in it.
NEEDLES: I use Interchangeable Circular Needles for almost every knitting project. I use the Symfonie ones by KnitPro™. They are a little bit more expensive but the quality is really good. I have two 80cm cords and every needle size from 3.5 to 7.
Some people might think, that you can only use circular needles when you are knitting in the round. But you can use circular needles (interchangeable or not) for almost every knitting project. One of the benefits of circular needles is, that you don't have the weight of your work on the needles but on the cord. This means it's less exhausting for your wrists.
For knitting socks I use double pointed needles. There is a method called magic loop where you knit small circumferences not with double pointed needles but with circular needles. So far I haven't tried this. The double pointed needles you see in the first photo are bamboo needles. These aren't as good as the Symfonie ones but I bought them before I knew which ones are the best. When I compare them side by side I can totally feel the difference.
What are your favorite knitting supplies? Have you ever tried circular needles?

REDMOND, OR -- About 10% more people are expected to travel through the Redmond Airport over the next several days, compared to last Memorial Day Weekend. Airport Director Zach Bass says it's important to prepare for the crowds, "Making sure you're out here early, especially for those early morning flights. Give yourself at least an hour and a half, two hours to get through security and make sure you're ready for that flight to take off." He also suggests double checking carry-on luggage for hazardous items, including weapons or loose ammunition, and be ready to remove snacks and electronics larger than a cell phone, as you go through security.
In an effort to address well-known parking shortages during peak times, Bass says the airport has expanded its options, "We've opened up a credit card-only lot. It's the first turn on your right, when you come into the airport loop, and there's about a hundred extra spots in there. So, we have more availability this holiday season than we have in the past." He says it should be more efficient, "There's no attendant there. You pull in, you receive your ticket and on your way out, you pay with a credit card and you're free to leave." Visit the Roberts Field website for parking availability; click HERE to view the airport's parking lot cameras.

Early Years
Through the 1980s, the company grew significantly with sales volume consisting of about 95% manual manufacturing of parts and 5% repairs. In 1991, IPS invested in CNC machining capability in an effort to grow the business. Two CNC turning centers and a CNC milling center were acquired that year.
In 1992 Wayne Rizzutto recognized the need to develop the repair capabilities of IPS. Chuck Arnold did not believe that this was a viable path for IPS and in 1993 Wayne Rizzutto bought out Chuck's interest in the company to become the sole owner of IPS.
Turbulent Years
Wayne Rizzutto sold the assets of Industrial Parts Specialties to Citation Pump Company. Citation was a structured vehicle owned by the Hackney Group to facilitate the deal. Dan Ripp, part-owner of the company, functioned as the general manager. Late in 1995, John Adams was brought in as the new general manager. Dan Ripp sold his share of the company back to Citation Pump Company and the name of the company was changed back to Industrial Parts Specialties. Investment in another CNC turning center was made during this year.
By early 1997, the Hackney Group recognized that sales were falling and something needed to be done. They brought back Wayne Rizzutto as the general manager feeling that the company's founder could shore the company back up. In 1998 due to new business generated in manufacturing for the oil industry, two new CNC machining centers were purchased, one large turning center and one large milling center. The repair segment of the business was now growing at a greater rate than the parts side of the business.
The Turnaround
In April 2003, John Ganley replaced Bill Pafford as general manager of IPS with an option to purchase 20% of the company. At this time the ability of the company to function was so poor, sales had dropped to 1980s levels, and an unfriendly banking relationship had the company scrambling to refinance the business. Trouble in other Hackney Group companies made them unable to help the financial condition of the company. IPS was close to a refinancing package in August of 2004 when Morris Hackney filed for personal bankruptcy protection. As a result, the IPS refinancing package was put on hold. To avoid default and to prevent the bank from shutting IPS down, IPS sought protection under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code on 9/30/2004. The sales of the company were improving, but still below the level needed to be profitable.
In August of 2005, IPS put a Plan of Reorganization before the court. The plan was accepted by all parties and approved by the court. As IPS emerged from Chapter 11, John Ganley, due to significant equity investment and being sole guarantor of the company's line of credit, became the 65% majority owner of the company. TMH Holdings (what was left of the Hackney Group) was the 35% minority partner. The final decree of the court was issued to IPS on December 5, 2005. Sales of the company were still below profitable levels, but the turnaround implemented by John Ganley was working and cash flows were increasing. The company was still operating under the financing agreement entered into during the Chapter 11 filing, and the primary objective was to return to profitability and to seek a better financing arrangement.
By 2007, the turnaround was complete and the company was beginning to achieve profitability. Refinancing efforts were underway and a new financing arrangement was finalized in April of 2008. Two new milling centers were purchased in June of 2008 to handle an upturn of work in the oil industry and to replace the original milling center that was completely worn out. Volume and profits of the company were steadily increasing at this time.
On 9/11/2008, John Ganley passed away as the result of a sudden heart attack. Will Ganley, John's son took over as president of the company and continued what his father started. Sales and profitability continued to improve. In February 2009, Trudy and Will Ganley bought out the minority partner to own 100% of Industrial Parts Specialties..

Warning: This article contains information about sexual assault and suicide which may be distressing for some readers.
"I'm in her bedroom and I can't take it anymore."
These are the words my friend, *Sue, cried to me one night in February 1994, during the first week of her residency at St Mark's College in Adelaide. She was in the dorm room that had once belonged to Allison Nitschke, an 18-year-old resident at the college who had been murdered in her room by fellow student, Alister Thompson, after an O'Week (orientation week) party in 1991.
The violent murder became the stuff of urban legend around campus. Details of the cruel, vile things that Thompson, in his drunken state, did to Allison's young body, grew more ghastly each year. It was considered a given that the room was haunted.
But the stories told to Sue by college seniors in an attempt to unnerve her weren't her biggest concern. No matter what had actually happened, at some point Allison had felt safe in that room. At some point she was happy there – excited about the adventure of university ahead of her. And then one night, her life was stolen from her. Her body was taken from the room and she was dumped in the Adelaide Hills.
She was a typical uni student one second. And the next, she was a murder victim.
Mia Freedman speaks to Kathy Kelly, the mother of Thomas and Stuart Kelly, on the loss of her sons. Post continues after…
And that's what kept Sue awake at night. Sue had won a scholarship to stay at the college. She'd been allocated Allison's room in the college dorms, and there was nothing she could do about it; except be very afraid.
Sue's experience shaped the way she, and I, approached O'Week activities. Actually, it more than shaped it: it stopped us from participating. We didn't attend any event, at all. We were two girls, on the cusp of our eighteenth birthdays, living away from home for the first time. We were terrified about campus life, and we had every reason to be.
Anyone who's attended university, or known someone who has, knows about the college/university culture, where alcohol limits and the concept of consent are non-existent. We've all heard about the cruel and humiliating rituals, performed in the name of "orientation", that senior students and residents put newcomers through, so they can prove themselves worthy of belonging to the group.
Because nothing says 'undying loyalty' like drinking until you're unconscious and waiving your rights over your body.
Last week news.com.au revealed an 'explosive' Orientation Week manual that they discovered was published in 2013. It contains graphic details of sexual and alcohol-based O'Week activities at St Mark's College.
I didn't need to read the article about it – because twenty years ago, I read the manual. I read the copy that was given to Sue. It may not have been exactly the same, but it was certainly a version of it.
So, it seems that not much has changed in twenty-five years.

All manufacturing in done to the same high Moana specifications and standards using Moana patterns. This ensures consistency of design, fit and quality.
