Request for information – FOI13436
Thank you for your e-mails requesting information from Ordnance Survey in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000.
We respond to each of your points as follows:
1) What is the wholesale price of your paper map products for retail resale?
This information is held by Ordnance Survey but is exempt under Section 21 (1) of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000 'Information accessible to applicant by other means'.
The reason this information is exempt, is because it is already made available on our website and therefore the public domain. You can find this information in our framework trade agreement PDF.
2) How many Ordnance Survey paper maps were sold last year, and in the three preceding years?
3) What breakdown can you give me for:
a) channels: book shops, outdoor leisure outlets, tourist information, online
b) Explorer, Landranger, waterproof
The information to respond to both the above questions is held by Ordnance Survey, but we consider it to be exempt from disclosure under Section 43 (2) of the FOIA – Commercial Interests.
Ordnance Survey, whilst being an Executive Agency, has trading fund status which means that it is required by Statute to fund all of its operations, investments and financial obligations to the British Government from the revenue it generates from licensing the Intellectual Property in its data and from sales, including sales of paper mapping. Ordnance Survey must therefore protect its commercial interests.
Ordnance Survey's Public Task is to create, maintain and disseminate consistent, definitive and authoritative geospatial and cartographic data and products of Great Britain in the national interest. Ordnance Survey is required to produce a full range of paper map titles offering complete coverage of Great Britain. However, a recent change to our license model allows other organisations (including competitors) to access and resell some Ordnance Survey mapping, therefore Ordnance Survey must limit the opportunities for commercial detriment. By providing the detailed information you request would mean it could be unfairly used by competitors to target their efforts.
Competitors in the paper map market are not required to produce a full range of titles, and can specifically choose the area which they wish to target competing products, which could undermine our market position and cause commercial detriment to our products and could undermine our ability to continue to publish a full series.
4) Do you have an analysis of your paper map end-user base please (how many maps, how often used, main sport, etc)?
Ordnance Survey does hold information relating to our map end-user base, but this is also exempt from disclosure under Section 43 (2) – Commercial Interests. We consider this information is exempt from disclosure and detail our reasons below.
We periodically commission and pay for bespoke research to be undertaken to provide end-user information for the purpose of reducing risk to the business. The release of such information would provide an unfair knowledge advantage to those paper map competitors, and Ordnance Survey should seek to limit the opportunities for commercial detriment.
In addition, Ordnance Survey Leisure holds some customer information from our customer database, through purchases made via our online map shop. This information is exempt under Section 40 – Personal Information.
Section 40 (2) (a) and (b), together with the condition under section 40 (3) (a) (i) of the FOIA, provides an absolute exemption, where the disclosure of information would contravene any of the data protection principles under the Data Protection Act (DPA) 1998. The above sections exempt information constituting the personal data of living individuals, the release of which would be in breach of the Data Protection Principles.
In applying this exemption, we have considered whether disclosure of the personal data in question would be 'fair' (as described in Schedule 1 of the Data Protection Act). We have given particular consideration to the likely expectations of the data subject regarding the disclosure of their information in this manner.
Public interest
We are aware there is general public interest for disclosure of information under accountability and transparency, but this has to be balanced against the factors allowing an organisation to be able to conduct their business fairly and with integrity.
Against this there is a public interest in ensuring businesses are not damaged or undermined by the disclosure of information which is not common knowledge, and which could adversely impact from a competitive or commercial perspective.
We have also given thought to the necessity for Ordnance Survey to compete fairly in the business arena and not provide an unfair commercial advantage to others, or place ourselves at a commercial disadvantage by the release of sensitive commercial information, which could undermine the sustainability of maintaining the national mapping series, for which there is no public interest.
We are satisfied there is greater public interest in withholding the requested information in this instance.

SMPS number of turns
I made this flyback for tube preamp.
Problem is I have low voltage.
What I did:
- Input 16V
- 8 turns of 3x1mm diameter wire
- 13 turns, should give 20V, it gives 11V, with 10k pot at max
- 110 turns, should give 200V, it gives 130V, with 10k pot at max
I did try other orientation of diode, it gave much less voltage. PCB wiring and mass is made properly for high frequency.
I can add more turns, but it doesn't make sense bearing in mind many calculations I saw in books and schematics.
What is going on?
You didn't provide what are probably the most important data in this case: the core parameters and properties: Ae (effective area), material, Lf, air gap, etc.
That's probably where your problems hide
Its EI-33 core form 350W ATX.
Are the windings closely interleaved?
Is IRF510 big enough for the amount of power you intend to draw, and is the 0.22 ohm shunt resistor small enough as well?
There should be a resistor in series with the 0.01 capacitor between COMP and FB, try 10k.
You could increase the value of 470k to compensate ?
However you need to gap the core.
At least a 1mm gap is required to stop the transformer saturating.
Also if the transformer gets hot the gap will again help stop saturation.
There is no gap. Should I make it on all 3 pillars of 'E'? To put 1mm paper between?
what is the total current at output you need?
I not happy, just on preamp, with this topology. yes it is regulated but not in a good way. better unregulated in this case but very stable,low noise.
It's PCL8x preamp. So let's say 16V 0.5A for 2 filaments, and about 5W for anodes.
Let me see schematic what you have in mind?
If the material is typical of its application, the core will have a Al of ~=4000.
With 8t, this results in an inductance of 256µH. Way too much.
For 4.8A^ and 0.35T^, the minimum number of turns required is ~=2.5, so you are OK with your 8t, but you have to insert a total airgap of 0.666mm.
If the core is totally ungapped and you create it with a spacer, the spacer needs to be 0.33mm.
The IRF510 will work, but it is rather light for such an application, and this will lead to severe conduction losses when the circuit operates normally

Internet problems.. I am using a t-mobile sim card (duplicate sims) on both, Lumia 800 and Nokia N9. Internet access works just fine on Lumia but it is the MeeGo N9 which is having problems.
What works fine:
- I am able to successfully connect to Internet using the t-mobile apn on my phone.
- Internet works fine in my meego browser. I am online from my google chat account after a few hassles.
- The events feed updates itself.
What does not work:
- The mail application cannot connect to internet. I keep getting error that can't connect to server.
- My sip account does not connect to internet, reports some kind of network error.
- I never received any configuration message telling me to store t-mobile data. The apn is just available.
This behaviour is a bit strange to me. When I connected my N9 to a shared WiFi from Lumia, I see the same problems. While everything seems to be working fine on Lumia, e.g. Google mail.
When I connected my N9 to a shared WiFi from another N9 (my wife's, which also uses t-mobile, prepaid), everything works just Ok.
Any pointers anyone? I would appreciate any feedback on twitter @aseemshakuntal
(PS: although its too late, but I am going to write a post about Lumia800 vs N9)

Common conditions that may affect your colon include: diverticulitis, colon cancer, or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) which includes ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. If you have one of these conditions, your doctor may suggest surgery to remove all or part of your colon. This surgery is called a colectomy.
A colectomy may be done with open surgery through one large incision (cut). It can also be done with minimally invasive surgery through a few small incisions using traditional laparoscopy or da Vinci Surgery.
The da Vinci System is a robotic-assisted surgical device that your surgeon is 100% in control of at all times. The da Vinci System gives surgeons a 3D HD view inside your body, tiny wristed instruments that bend and rotate far greater than the human hand, and enhanced vision, precision and control.
da Vinci Colectomy offers the following potential benefits compared to traditional laparoscopy:
The da Vinci System has brought minimally invasive surgery to more than 3 million patients worldwide. da Vinci technology – changing the experience of surgery for people around the world.
Risks and Considerations Related to Bowel Resection and Other Colorectal Procedures (removal of all/part of the intestine): leaking and/or narrowing at the spot where two sections of bowel were reconnected, colorectal or anal dysfunction (cannot empty bowel, frequent bowel movements, leakage or constipation).
PN 1002198 Rev C 10/2016
Serious complications may occur in any surgery, including da Vinci® Surgery, up to and including death. Individual surgical results may vary. Patients should talk to their doctor to decide if da Vinci Surgery is right for them. Patients and doctors should review all available information on non-surgical and surgical options in order to make an informed decision.

Lord Knosley was quite happy with Mr. Otis. He was a fine young man who was wholly in love with his daughter. Fine lineage, fine looks, fine intelligence. Lord Knosley strongly believed the man would make her content. It was all he could have dreamed of for his daughter. He was quite proud of himself for finding such a jewel for her.
Though he himself seemed blind to his daughter's emotions for Mr. Otis. He felt assured she held to the regular rules of decorum and not letting her feelings get too much of her. There was no sign of outward dissatisfaction. They would be a very pretty couple, perfection shelted from much of the world.
Both men agreed that Mr. Otis would ask her to marry him - there was no doubt that she would refuse! - rather then telling her of their forced marriage. Mr. Otis insisted on giving such a proposal. So on the planned morning, they summoned Elizabeth into the room and Lord Knosley left them to be alone - though he waited just outside the door with his ear pressed against the wood to catch every sound.
Elizabeth was wondering, wildly curious about her handmaids insistence on making her appear so pretty that morning. As of late, they had been particularly fussy, but this morning they were very strict in their extraodinary decoration of her. Her seamstress had made the most beautiful day gown of shimmering rose pink silk and delicate, untouched lace. They had spent hour after hour primming her. Elizabeth started to think that her father was having her potrait done again, though, she thought that highly improbable.
Finally she was called down from her place on her stool, somewhat sore from sitting so long. The handmaids watched her go with smiles, knowing exactly where she was going and why - gossip got about easily in the kitchens - remembering the young girl she once was and what a woman she had grown to be.
As Lord Knosley left them be - supposedly excusing himself for something of 'business' - Mr Otis could immeaditly feel the passion overtake him. Her beauty was far beyond he ever could have thought; a lone, tantalizing dark curl was hanging on her smooth, untouched neck, her marble hands neatly folded in her lap. All the plans he made, all the speeches he had wrote and thrown away, meant nothing.
When he knelt before her and took her hands, Elizabeth felt an immeadiate alarm, no place to retract from his grasp. His proposal was a desperate plea, frantic begging. Color drained from her face, her heart thudding wildly against her ribs. He wanted to marry her. He loved her, he loved her, he loved her! He couldn't live without her - he didn't know how he did before they met! She flushed as he kissed her hands, his fingers crawling up her arms, his emotions so free, so wild.
Finally she was able to compose herself enough to speak, her voice wavering ever so slightly, "M-Mr. Otis, please calm yourself. Please restrain yourself!"
"How can I restrain myself aroud you!" he cried out in a great show. "My love for you is greater than anything I have felt before. Everything else means nothing. Marry me; be my wife!"
Elizabeth's hands were trembling, the amazing love in his eyes hurt her. She wanted to believe what he said; she wanted to pretend he was everything she wanted and more. But she could not.
"No," she murmured, her voice soft and weak.
His face was wiped clean, horrified. He withdrew from her slightly. "What?" he whispered, as if someone had taken his voice away.
"No, Mr. Otis, I cannot marry you," Elizabeth said with more resolute strength, though it still shook with distress. She stood, Mr. Otis kneeling pathetically at her feet. Her father had heard everything, and flaberghasted, he burst through the door.
"Elizabeth!" cried Lord Knosley. "You are being irrational, please think!" Mr. Otis still was kneeling on the floor, as if frozen with shock. She walked to the other side of the room, her expression confused and troubled.
"I have already thought, Father," Elizabeth said calmly. "And my answer is no."
"No?" he echoed her, the flair of anger thudding through his veins. All his work to protect her, to give her all of what she wanted, that he had found this man to love her so unconventionally, a match so perfectly made! She seemed ungrateful, insolent! "Well my answer to you is no, Elizabeth Knosley. This wedding will continue as planned."
Elizabeth paused, turning. "As planned?"
"Indeed! The wedding has been arranged long ago! You were engaged long before his arrival!"
She looking to both men, betrayed. Mr. Otis said he loved her, and yet the match was forced! But it was her father she was most angered and hurt by - she never thought he would do such a thing to her. She clenched her jaw, enraged, "No. I will not marry him."
Her father half laughed, eyes blazing, "No is not an option."
Tears blurring her vision, she stood helplessly, clenching and unclenched her fists furiously. Unable to contain herself, she grabbed her skirts up in great bundles, and bolted from the room, uncontrollable tears streaming down her cheeks.
Engaged! Engaged!

Rise above politics
Rise above politics
As the Olympics come to a close I think back to watching the opening ceremony of the Sochi Olympics. It was so nice to see all of the athletes, from all over the world introducing themselves, so full of enthusiasm and unbridled happiness. For many of them they had the love and respect of their country's leaders who traveled there to welcome them. The athletes from the United States had people who were picked to make a political statement and their president or his higher-ups was largely absent.
Our president elected to use the Olympics to make a political statement, in a form torn from the pages of our government's political behavioral handbook, which says you make yourself look good, by making someone else, look bad. Until this country wins back some of the respect we used to have in this world we shouldn't be telling others how to live. Look around you at the political corruption and our dysfunctional Congress, the drug and crime problems, the immigration problems and the growing national debt. Shootings every day and everywhere. Mentally ill people going untreated. I could write a page and half about this country's problems but I won't.
To all of the athletes in Sochi I say this as you go on. "Rise above politics and compete with all your heart and truly may the best person win and may the others love and respect all winners in the true spirit the Olympics was meant to convey to the world because you're all winners no matter how you finish." To those whose only intent was to draw attention to some unrelated issue at this venue's expense, shame on you. You're the real loser.

I'm a very careful shopper and find myself doing obsessive amounts of research before I commit to a final look. (Ok, I'm cheap--single motherhood and a large mortgage will do that to a person). But be honest, DIY doesn't always cost less than buying...and sometimes buying doesn't offer the exact look a person wants.
So before I fully execute on this industrial steampunk thing which has clearly come into vogue (evidenced by the ridiculous prices I witnessed today) I set out to do my homework and perused where I could shop to achieve this look...for less.
The overall winner in terms of "The Look" was Restoration Hardware. It not only affirmed that this IS the look that I want, but the employees found me hiding with a lampshade on my head and had to pry my hands off of my beloved riveted, metal trunk . Motivated by the {ahem} prices on some of the items, I decided that I CAN thrift, hack, repurpose, strip {furniture}, dip {furniture}, tack {nailheads}, stencil, sand and sometimes splurge my way into fully furnished and functional space that we can be proud of.
Drool. Below is THE coolest iPhone docking station, EVER! (Aaaannnd....my birthday IS on Tuesssday...)
(Above: Restoration Hardware Gramophone iPad or iPhone docking station-slash-speaker-thingamabob).
Next...check out this wall sconce (pictured below) at Restoration Hardware...(by the way, you can buy the actual lightbulbs at Lowe's!)
And speaking of Lowe's...we BOUGHT something today {insert Beavis & Butthead-esque laughter}...drumroll...a steampunk offensive of our bathroom has BEGUN with the vintage specialty bulbs (fixture was only $39.95!) -- note the partially painted wall...more to come on this project!
(Above: Four Light Vanity Bar by Portfolio @ Lowe's).
We have a LONG way to go before I can show you the basement, but here are some ideas floating around in my head on how a person can easily achieve a DIY steampunk-inspired look.
DIY Steampunk Ideas (future posts to come):
Free downloads make nice photo backgrounds:
Look online for places like The Graphics Fairy and print Victorian backgrounds for your family photos. Purchase frames that are on sale that provide a bit of steampunk funk. I did this and created a small cluster of photos of my grandparents (same two you met in "Who is Streetwise?")
Hack Your Current Light Fixture:
Try a bulbs-only approach with your current lighting. See how it looks without the frosted glass globes. Use these bulbs from Lowe's.
Rent a projector:
Vintage fonts can be easily projected and traced onto a wall or a piece of cloth, burlap or furniture. Trace it...then fill in the space with paint. Don't be afraid...people who don't have the guts to try this will be jealous when then see the results. (This is part of the basement plan...our bar is not built yet, but soon!)
Burlap, Ropes & Twine:
Put it everywhere. Wrap your candles in them. Trim your pillows with them. Stencil the burlap. It seems to crop up in every store I've been in today.
Put them on a wall to imitate a metal look. Patina the wall. You have a Titanic interior.
Dip Your Old Furniture. Don't Refinish It! Yes, you read that right! Naked, dipped furniture is THE look. I was just at Goodwill today, and saw so many possibilities for dipping furniture. Steampunk furnishings are not overfinished and often very rudimentary.
If you read what is trending for 2013, neutrals are making a huge comeback along with unfinished furnishings.

Recent reviews
Outstanding 4.6 /5 from 26 reviews
We loved our stay at la Mandragola! Our room (one of four) was fab, with air con, great bathroom with shower, comfy bed and beautiful decoration. The quiet location just 2 minutes from the main square in San san Gimignano meant we had a relaxing stay. The restaurant on site was really nice and the staff were lovely, and a lovely breakfast with delicious croissants and coffee is provided daily. There is a lovely seating area that guests could use in the garden and also on the top of the roof there's a fab rooftop terrace giving 360 panoramic views! I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if we visited San Gimignano again. As it is a restaurant with rooms there isn't a reception, so bear that in mind when you arrive!

If you are a frequent shopper at Barnes & Noble, you may have heard of the Barnes & Noble Credit Card. This card acts in many ways like a normal credit card, but has a special rewards program attached that allows cardholders to obtain special discounts and other rewards when they shop at any Barnes & Noble store or online.
While this card may not be the most effective form of rewards credit card elsewhere, it is certainly useful if you're looking for a way to save money on books, music, and movies. Here, we'll go over some of the various benefits and rewards of this card, as well as some of the hard statistics it offers.
Read through this Barnes & Noble credit card review and then use our free credit card finder today!
Barnes & Noble Credit Card Benefits
The Barnes & Noble Credit Card provides cardholders with a twenty-five dollar gift card after they make their first purchase using the card, as a sort of free gift. Additional gift cards can be earned by redeeming points earned through purchases. These points are earned not only by purchasing items at Barnes & Noble, but anywhere the card is used. Points can then be traded in for gift cards, cash rewards, and so on. There is no annual fee to have a Barnes & Noble Credit Card, and there is a low rate for balance transfers.
Additional B&N Credit Card Features and Rewards
While the point rewards are helpful, the main appeal of the Barnes & Noble Credit Card is that it allows you to receive a five percent discount on all purchases made at Barnes & Noble when you use the card. This applies to any purchase made at any store, as well as those made at the online store. This discount comes in the form of a credit on the statement. The Barnes & Noble Credit Card does not offer as many advantages as some other cards when it comes to everyday use, but it is better than any other credit card for using at Barnes & Noble. If you shop there frequently, you can save a significant amount of money on your purchases.

Here are some things others have said about us...
"Raw milk was very beneficial to me in my cancer recovery." ~N.B. Henrico
"We did a taste test with Avery's Branch chicken. I bought organic, free-range, skinless chicken breasts from Trader Joe's and some from Avery's Branch. I cooked one of each, exactly the same way. I put some of both on a plate for my husband and he easily identified the Avery's Branch chicken as the one that tasted the best - there was such a noticeable difference!!" ~A.C. Ashland
"I made some ice cream with your milk. It was great so now I've made some Pumpkin Pecan Spice ice cream and Maple Walnut to serve for the holidays." ~G.B. Mineral
"We drank our first half-gallon, and let me tell you, it was absolutely delicious. That cream on the top is dangerously good." ~D.M. Charlottesville
"Thanks to you, our children are much healthier." ~E.S. Chester
"WOWOWOW, thank you for your milk!!!!!!!!!! I have never tasted fresh raw milk, or fresh milk for that matter. Wow is that really, really, really delicious! Wow is that really good! We are hoping and thinking we just might drink more, and can pay for more."
"Thank you for the delicious milk. I feel so much better overall. If you ever need a testimony from someone with chronic gastric distress who has tried everything - I'm your girl!" J.A.
"I just had to tell you right away I just tasted the yogurt O my gosh!!! I have never tasted something so yummy! I think I could actually replace my ice cream with this yogurt!" ~S.A. Midlothian
"The turkey was wonderful, of course, but I have to rave about the pork roast I also got while at your farm. It was huge and the most delicious roast I have ever made. I slow cooked it with fresh green beans and a little onion, then added some small potatoes at the end. Really, really good on a cold winter's day." ~T.L. Richmond
"I'm grateful that you have such a strong sense of stewardship for the land and your animals. God has repeatedly led me to people that have been essential in my healing. Your family is a blessing in my life." ~M. C. Ashland
"We cooked up the ribs we got from you last week and they were the BEST ribs I have ever had in my life! Thank you so much for creating sustainable food." ~K.O. Richmond
"I want to thank you inviting us to the fabulous 'Day To Give Thanks For Udders'. I brought my daughters and even the adults learned something new at the day on the farm! It was a great experience!" ~J.M. Manakin-Sabot
"Thank you so much for sending the butter. It is out-of-this-world delicious." ~H.K. Goochland
"You have a wonderful family and truly provide us with an excellent product." ~R.P. Crozet
"Thank you so much... your milk is fabulous! I give one gallon to my dad. He grew up on a dairy farm back in the day when everything was organic, simple and natural, and he LOVES your milk."
"We are absolutely LOVING the milk."
"Everyone at the table yesterday said our turkey was the very best we have ever had!!! They kept saying it over and over, and we had hardly any meat left, just the carcass for stock!! It was so delicious. Thanks for making our Thanksgiving special. It was great to meet you all and see your farm."
"My daughter (3) loves the milk and she is so happy because I let her drink milk now, before I would always limit it."
"I have a young son and I absolutely believe that it is much better for his health to drink milk that comes from grass fed and humanely treated cows."
"We're so happy with the taste, and that it doesn't cause any of the typical allergy reactions we experience with store bought milk. I also love being able to pour the cream off and use in in coffee and cooking."
"My wife and I visited your farm Saturday (thanks for the hospitality!) and picked up some chickens and I roasted one last night and it was wonderful."
"My family LOVED meeting you and visiting your farm on "Thanks to Udders Day."

Waking up on a deserted beach, a young man has a surprise he was not expecting.
He awoke upon a golden beach, with the warm sea water lapping up his feet. For a few moments, he just lay, unmoving, on the warm sand, gazing up into the bright blue sky watching the seagulls above gracefully glide high above him with little to no effort. Gradually he wiggled his hands and toes, making sure that each one was perfectly fine and in working order. Once he was sure that everything was fine, he slowly sat up, brushing the sand out of his hair and surveyed his surroundings.
In front of him, he could see the warm sea water was a brilliant shade of blue that was so clear he could see the sea floor for around 10 metres out from where he was. Looking to his left and right he could see that the golden beach he was sat on continued majestically towards the horizon and beyond, it`s smooth colour fading into the distant horizon. leaning round in order to see behind him, he gazed upon a small little beach house, painted bright white and sporting an old yet usable deck with chairs and umbrella made from massive green leaves that he concluded must of come from the massive forest behind the house.
Scrambling to his feet, he looked to his left and realised that the pure gold of the beach was broken by a dark shape that was gradually getting closer. Squinting to try and see what it was, he gasped as he realised that the shadow was in fact a woman. Walking towards her, his eyes steadily started to widen as he could see more and more of the woman who was walking towards him until he finally just stumbled to a halt, as he managed to see her complete face for the first time. He could barely believe who it was. Who had managed to find him on this deserted beach. It was her.
Suddenly finding a burst of energy, he ran towards her full speed across the sand and in seeing this, she did the exact same thing and ran full speed towards him. After a few seconds of them both kicking up clouds of sand behind their pounding feet, they finally met and grasped each other in a massive, passionate hug, neither of them willing to let go. After a few minutes of them stood in each other`s embrace, he finally let go and stepped back in order to look at her properly.
"I always wanted to tell you this but I was always so afraid of what you`d say until now... I.. I love you. And I always have done, from the moment we first talked to each other and I wish I had told you before but.."
Slowly at first, he spoke but gradually he became quicker and quicker until gently, she put her finger up to his lips silencing him instantly.
"Ssssh it`s ok. I`m here now and now that I know, I can finally tell you something as well. Because you know what?" She gently said, reaching up on her tiptoes in order to look into his eyes.
"I always loved you too."
With that she kissed him, slowly and gently as the dark orange sun slowly started to set behind the bright blue sea, illuminating the two lovers in it`s last desperate rays as they shared their first and last kiss.
Meanwhile, from another, much harsher horizon, the sun rose with the beginning of another dreary day. As it`s now weak and hazy rays slowly crept across the smooth morning sea, it settled for a moment on the floating body of a young man. Around his neck was a open pendant which showed a young woman with a kind smile on her face. A mirror image of the same smile that was on the young man`s pale dead face. After a few moments of it`s rays focussing on the body, the sun slowly moved higher into the sky. It`s rays now looking a little bit less bright, and a little more pale.

ccw9mm... I absolutely see your point, and I agree with that... and I know you are prepared to take responsibilty for your actions as well. A clear disparity of force applies to you even before you get knocked down. In my posts I am refering to otherwise healthy and physically capable people.
My wife is in the same situation. She was permantly injured in the line of duty 18 years ago and is disabled herself. She can't run anywhere! Most times she uses a walking stick just to walk in public so her knee doesn't give out.
She doesn't have the luxury of running away and has the handicap parking permit to prove it along with a fire dept. disability pension. She can't do any reasonable hand to hand combat skills without ending up on the ground. And so, she carries a gun everywhere 24/7

This is a great thread. Lots of good insights.
Bark'n.......I've been looking at some of the educational materal out there, Ayoob's stuff in particular, and now I'm completly convinced to ponie up and get 'em.
As for myself in a like situation.....I'm a healthy male who dosn't want to take grief or punches from anyone. Having said that, I'm pretty thick skinned and can take a few hits (I know, I've seen me do it) but any physical fist-to-cuffs were left in the school yard/playground long ago. Armed or not, I'll bug out (distance is key) and call in to report it. Assault is assault and I'm not playing some aggressor's whipping-boy game. My sidearm won't come to into the situation unless his fight has turned into the gravest of situations for me....fear of death/serious injury.
I'd like to know, how do you know for sure they weren't armed or had a weapon that could be used on you?
Were they naked?
Courage is being scared to death - but saddling up anyway.

Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
Typically I always try to avoid until it becomes physical and at that point you do what you have to to stop the danger to your self and bug out.
Also, the statement "and you know they are unarmed?" comes into play. You really can't KNOW that for sure. It's a foolish and possibly deadly assumption.
I grew up going to public school in south baltimore. Plenty of kids looked unarmed...but it really was a whole different story. Once a fight broke out...it was a common occurrence for a blade or worse to "magically" appear.
I'll take all the mouthy chatter the punk can rant. It won't bother me a bit. My pride doesn't bleed or break. Walking/running away if FINE with me. But I'll be closely watching the individual for the physical pre-warning signs of an assault (usually unrelated to any conversation); eye movement, hand movement & contents, proximity, posture, breathing, etc. If I'm convinced that line is about to be crossed...then I snap my mindset & BECOME THE PROBLEM. Instantly, without chest-bumping or comment, I will become the ABSOLUTE AGGRESSOR using ANY & EVERY advantage I see and any weapon I can bring to bare. I'll make the line between completely passive & no-holds-barred aggressive so VERY thin & narrow that when I step over it, it will surprise, confuse, befuddle, and frankly frighten my adversary. It's HE who'll have to be in the "defensive" posture before he has time to realize what a dreadful mistake he has made in victim selection. And the more instantiously I can go from "gentle Mr. Rogers" to "screaming lunatic pissed Pitbull" the more effective this method becomes. My knife, my pistol, a garbage can lid, a leaf rake, a stair railing, teeth, nails, hair...ANYTHING is immediately in-play once that line is crossed. ANYTHING, period.
I'll let anyone SAY anything to me. But if you convice me that your intent is physical? I WILL attack first. I WILL force YOU to defend yourself. I will consider NOTHING too extreme. And I will CONTINUE to attack you until you are UNABLE (not unwilling but unable) to be considered a threat to me. And only after all that is DONE will I deal with any consequences. As far as I'm concerned, "fair" is something that comes to the County Seat once a year where they judge hams & pies. There is NO SUCH THING as a "fair fight". No rules, no laws & no quarter. Legal considerations involve the AFTERMATH, not the action.
There are only TWO kinds of people in this world; those who describe the world as filled with two kinds of people...and those who don't.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
ccw9mm, in your Post #21 you talk about waiting to discover if there's a weapon (while grappling with a demented & violent attacker) is often far too late. It seems now you're suggesting a passive response until the possibility of a weapon is a confirmed reality.
I articulated my justification to a hypothetical threat among friends on a website. That same articulation WOULDN'T be my part of my testimony or mindset should the event then become a legal issue (I've been in Court before). But the REAL concern (in my mind) is for ME to FIRST survive & be healthy enough following the attack to GET to Court and testify. My point is, self defense is the reason WHY I took action. Once the decision that self-defense is necessary has been made...it's no longer the time or place to be considering moderation. My moderation happens PRIOR to the decision to defend myself.
Please don't misunderstand, I will & truly believe EVERYONE SHOULD exercise all caution, consideration, patience, retreat, humility, humor & ALL actions imaginable BEFORE making the decision to defend themselves. But, having exhausted those actions, I believe I am completely justified, both legally & morally, to use ANY subsequent action to eliminate the threat.
Court battles are won by "self defense" arguments. Street battles aren't won by having a "self defense" mindset. Regardless of movie representations, you can't "block" your opponent into submission. If you've decided you have no other option, your MOST EFFECTIVE response is to make HIM respond. Take the fight TO your opponent. Now your actions aren't defense, they're offensive. And bring them fast, hard & repeatedly (using any/everything available) until you're SURE the fight is OVER. I have a hard time understanding men who would carry & use a gun to defend themselves...yet are surprised or cautionary to a guy who says he would use everything else as well.
No offense intended to anyone in this conversation, but by some of the tone & opinions being offered I can only guess that there has been (thank God) little exposure to adult circumstances "of the gravest extreme". We're not talking about schoolyard black eyes & split lips here. Or at least I'm not. If I was confident an assault would magically stop there, I would just take my licks & go about my business. Real world, criminal elements don't have a moral code or some sense of "fair play". Wake-up gentlemen, these are PREDATORS of the first order. If push comes to shove, you BETTER be ready/willing to go to the same grave extreme as they are to survive. Because, believe me, they've got a LOT more practice at this stuff than you do.
There are only TWO kinds of people in this world; those who describe the world as filled with two kinds of people...and those who don't.
I believe that when you make the decision to carry a firearm, you give up your God given right to be a jerk. So, I treat everyone I meet with a general level of respect and courtesy.
I guess I am lucky in that I work in a professional environment and haven't seen any fights among employees for many years.
I assume that we are limiting this conversation to unarmed response.
I agree with Ghost Tracker on this one.
I would do everything reasonable to avoid confrontation. This includes apologizing (even if I didn't do anything wrong), walking away, etc.
But when I become convinced that things are going to get physical and I can't retreat, I would be offsides if I could. Playing fair is for the ball field. When getting attacked, the best strategy is to CHEAT!!!
You cannot afford to merely punch the guy and hope he decides to quit, you must MAKE him quit. The possibility of him getting your gun from you during the struggle makes failure unacceptable.
You don't have to wait to be hit any more than you have to wait to be shot before defending yourself. You simply must reasonably believe that you are in immediate danger of being seriously hurt. You also need to be able to articulate to a jury why you felt this way.
So. . . .after my long-winded answer, the short answer is to avoid conflicts if at all possible and to defend yourself if you can't avoid it.
I think it was Ayoob who said that success was avoidance and everything else was merely damage control.
fortiter in re, suaviter in modo (resolutely in action, gently in manner).
kavity & Gentlemen,
I've gone back and carefully re-read the thread from OP to #27 as I should have prior to my chiming-in. The OP scenerio was substantially different than what I had previously imagined. Please accept my apology. I'll henceforth be more careful that my responses are more closely on-topic.
kavity, several years ago (25), a friend of mine in Texas was presented with EXACTLY the same situation you described, except he was in the Parking Lot of his own restaurant. He was CCW armed & excessively (physically) provoked by a smaller, unarmed assailant. He stepped to his truck (only a few feet away), opened the door, drew & threw his pistol onto the front floorboard, locked & closed the door, then returned to his assailant and LEVELED HIM. I don't mean a nice punch. I mean a knee-buckling, eyes-rolled-back, it's-all-over, big-step-right-cross that settled the issue like a Thunder Clap.
I'll tell the story to ask a question. What do y'all think about his actions? Was he wise to take his weapon out of the equation? I mean, I guess (to a possible responding LEO) it might have seemed oddly prudent. But what the opinion now in light of modern Courts & Gun Laws?
There are only TWO kinds of people in this world; those who describe the world as filled with two kinds of people...and those who don't.
I'll take whatever verbal abuse they give me, deflect most blows, whine and cry like alittle school girl till they are lulled into a sense of security/superiority then bushwhack them while they are gloating.
Generally a sucker punch to the nads followed by a boot to the head.
If they are real uppity I'll get a "tonk"
Shoot lots,
Get Good

Well let's see, I retired in 2003 at the ripe old age of 53. I haven't been employed since then nor do I intend to.
What I like about my retirement is that I'm getting paid more now than when I worked! The medical benefits are the really great thing too!
One thing that I did while I was young, "PLAN FOR MY RETIREMENT!" I know that most while young do not suscribe to that kind of plan. Most think that their young and will deal with retirement at a later date...WRONG!!!!
Take care of this while you still have the ability to do so. Just an old guy giving some healthy advise.
Oh, about the medical...This is as important if not more than your actual retirement. A hefty medical bill can deplete any savings very easily.

They were stood outside the vampire's house, watching as the red sun sank beneath the horizon. Sophia reached out and took Lukas's shaking hand.
"Are you sure about this?" She asked, looking up into his green eyes.
A week had passed since Lukas had changed, and he was still finding it strange. Having gone three hundred years with out limitations, without injury, it annoyed him when he couldn't run as far, as fast, and when he hurt himself. But he wouldn't go back. Being human may be odd, but it meant he could be with Sophia.
"I have to." he replied quietly. "As the leader, I have to hand over control." It was vampire custom, although Lukas was pretty sure this was the first time it had happened with a human handing over power.
"Sapphire won't be happy." Sophia noted.
"I don't care. She deserves everything she gets." Lukas muttered.
"I don mean that. I mean that she has been fighting to make you love her for years. And now this has happened." Sophia shrugged. "It's not going to end well."
He sighs. "I know. Are you ready?"
She nods, squeezing his hand lightly as he knocks on the door. It opened, revealing Sapphire. Her pink eyes travelled quickly over Lukas, and landed on Sophia.
"How are you not dead?" she exclaimed angrily.
Sophia smiled slightly. "Because I'm still alive? Anyway, we aren't here to talk, Sapphire, we are here on business." She looked at Lukas, who raised his head so Sapphire could see his eyes.
She stumbled back, staring at him. "How…How?" She stuttered
"Simple. That curse your mother put on me? I managed to break it. What was it? Oh yes, If you ever love, you will end up hurting them, destroying their short lives. I love Sophia and I fought against hurting her. Because I loved her."
"And this is why you came here? To rub it in my face that you will never love me?" Sapphire snarled.
"No." Lukas sighed, rolling his eyes. "I, Lukas, Leader of the Nest, put my Second in charge. I relinquish all power, all hold I have over the vampires, and put them under the control of my Second, Sophie Riddle, also known as Sapphire." He stepped back, away from the door. "That's why I came here."
Sapphire looked at him sadly. "But I don't want that. I was here because of you."
"I don't care. You are in charge now, I want nothing more to do with you." Lukas looked away from her, down to Sophia. "Come on, we are done here." He turned away.
"Wait!" Sapphire shouted after him. He turned back, to se her eyes bight with anger. "If you walk away, Lukas, you will regret it. Go with that human, and you will be doomed. I promise."
He laughed. "I would follow Sophia where ever she leads, Sapphire, you can't stop that."
"Maybe not. But I can do this. There is a war coming, Lukas. A war you and I will fight in. A war your human will fight in. a war I will start because of you. Walk away from me, and every vampire will fight against humans, every witch, every werewolf will have to choose where they stand. This war will be your own fault."
"Do your worst, Sophie Riddle." He said, turning away again. This time, when she screamed his name, he did not respond.
Sophia and Lukas walked across the village before stopping. He gathered her into his arms and kissed her. It scared her. It wasn't a comforting kiss, it was a kiss saying sorry, saying goodbye. She pulled away, and looked at him.
"She is going to start a war, isn't she?" Sophia whispered.
Lukas nodded. "I'm sorry. It seems while I am here, you won't be safe."
Sophia grabbed his arms tightly. "Don't talk like tat, Lukas. You are not going to leave me now. What ever happens, we fight together. Okay?"
He strokes her cheek with his thumb. "I won't leave you. But there is something we have to do."
He turns her around, so she could look past the village, into the trees that surrounded it. "We need to find every werewolf pack, every witch coven, and get them on our side, against the vampires. It will be dangerous, Sophia."
She scans the dark trees, then turns back to the village, to the home she had grown up in. finally, she looked up back to the golden haired boy, who was studying her worried. "Then we find them."
She took his hand, and made the first steps out of the village, knowing now, the future was unsure.

Wanted: Earthshaking genius with the leadership of a conductor, the charisma of a matador. Noble profile, interest in history, mathematics, social and natural sciences helpful.
The Institute for Advanced Study, a world-renowned brain trust in Princeton, began a search last week for its eighth director. Its current leader, Dr. Phillip A. Griffiths, a Princeton-trained mathematician, is stepping down after 11 years to teach at the private institute, perhaps best known for its connection to Einstein, a faculty member there for more than two decades.
So far, the institute is mum about contenders. Past directors have been male American citizens and have included physicists, educators and a historian of science, but spokesmen said the new search would be international and not tied to any particular academic field. A new director is expected to be appointed in 2003.
''The search committee is concerned about the best-qualified person, without boundaries,'' said Georgia Whidden, the institute's spokeswoman.Continue reading the main story
The institute is a sort of Parthenon of ideas, where 200 visiting scholars come to meet with a resident faculty of 24 scholars. Founded in 1930, it has no official ties to Princeton University.
Under Dr. Griffiths's direction, the institute started new programs in Asian studies, theoretical biology and computer science, and resumed studies in economics.
James D. Wolfensohn, the World Bank official who is chairman of the institute's board of trustees, said that his ''tenure has been marked both by his ability to guide this institution in productive and exciting new directions, and his ability to further strengthen the unique opportunities the institute offers.''

"Stop!" I groaned. The other choreographer they'd brought in to help was being really annoying. As soon as she found out this was my first job as a choreographer she'd become high and mighty and began lording it over me. And she'd been stopping the dance every few seconds to make changes. It was driving me insane. But i'd promised to be nice. "It just looks like they're trying too hard lifting her." She moaned.
"That's because it's one of the hottest days of the year and you keep making them go over and over this in the blazing sunshine."
"Look, I don't want to tell you what to do, but you should change it."
"Well, as long as that's what you think." I stalked off. Kate came up to me.
"Ros, don't let her walk all over you. You have to show her what you're all about."
"I can't. I'm too stressed."
"Come on. You can do it. Or else I'll stop trying to annoy Jake with you."
"Fine." I stalked back over. "Right everyone take a break, get some water, be back in ten."
"What? You need to sort this out now!"
"No, you need to sort yourself out now. This is my dance, I'm choreographing, so you can just back off and keep out of my way." She looked like I'd just punched her in the face. I turned and walked off, but not before all the dancers started clapping. kate ran at me and hugged me.
"Well done!"
"Well, I couldn't let Jake go un-annoyed could I?" She grinned.
"No, you couldn't."
At the end of the day, we went for hot chocolate again. This time when Kate came back to mine, she was holding my hand as we walked through the door. Annie and Jake were no where to be seen, but we could hear them. After ten minutes, I gave up trying to ignore the sounds coming from my bedroom. Kate grabbed my hand.
"Come on." She pulled me in to the other room and whispered in my ear "Want to contest the noise?"
"No! Kate I can't!"
"Sure you can."
"How? Just pretend to have sex?"
"I have never done that before. I've never needed to do that before."
"Stud." I laughed and she pushed me back on to the bed, tickling me. "It'll be fine, just follow my example."
"You've done this before?"
"Yes." She put her hands in my hair and messed it up, then did the same with hers. "Right, now to set the scene." She rolled on top of me and tickled me, and we both giggled and rolled baout in the bed. I was beginning to understand. Soon, the bedding was everywhere. She began moaning loudly. I giggled, then waited until she paused and let out a gasping scream. The noises next door stopped. We laughed silently, then climbed off the bed and began rocking it back and forward from the end of the bed. We heard footsteps.
"Rosa? Is that you?" I giggled. Kate grabbed me and pulled off my top. I sat shocked, until she pointed at the door and pulled her own top off, jumping on the bed. I went over to the door and opened it slightly, making it obvious that I had no top on and that my hair was messed up, and also letting Annie get a view of Kate on the bed.
"Yeah, sorry Annie, you seemed busy, so I didn't want to interrupt you." I giggled and then shut the door. Annie had looked quite shocked. I ran over to Kate and leapt on her, pulling her to the floor. "You are just bad ass." I whisper, before climbing on her and moaning. She grins and kisses me.
"I am." Then she get me up and we put our tops back on, not bothering with our hair, and leave the room to find Annie and Jake on the sofa.

DCeptette: Fielder's choices version
- Sean Taylor, the recent rookie acquisition and impact safety for the Redskins, achieved a personal milestone this week when he joined that fraternity of DC athletes who get nailed for DUI. It's been an odd year for the rookie, who went from being nearly blinded by LaVar Arrington in camp, to shining in the preseason, to falling out of favor at the start of the regular season, to finally having an impact on the field of late. DCist notes that he missed part of the NFL's mandatory rookie symposium. After some research, we discovered that two of the breakout sessions the day Taylor skipped were "DUI arrests: sooo passe" and "Hey, Watch Out for the LaVar Arrington Guy, Because He's Crazy." (DCist)
- World of Craigslist: I think someone's going to cry themselves to sleep listening to her Cat Power albums tonight. (Craigslist)
- Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee is making Ashlee Simpson jokes. So, now that's played. (Names and Faces)
- DC Council entertains the madding crowd on the subject of taxpayer funded baseball stadia. Williams, scheduled to speak late in the hearing, figures he hasn't really shown up for this issue thus far, so why bother starting now. Great Marion Barry quote: "This is the biggest stickup by Major League Baseball since Jesse James was doing train robberies." Ummm, Jesse James did robberies for Major League Baseball? Barry added: "Nobody could refute what I said." That's true, Marion, that's true. (Post)
- Some good news: whether they win the election or lose the election, after next week, the GOP will be getting the fuck out of Arlington. (Post)
