Another shot of top edge, showing high energy of spall fragmentation leaving the box.D-RMOR GEAR

As many of my readers know by now, steel plates offer tremendous advantages (low cost, extreme durability/multiple hits, thin profile), but do suffer from issues with front-face spall (fragmentation caused by defeated rounds) and weight. Most solutions that attempt to address this issue exacerbate the weight, and negate the advantage of a thin profile.   Continue reading “Shoot Test: Version 4.2.3 Spall Guard and Maingun Patriot Plate”

Over 65 tech companies, open Internet advocates and other organizations released two open letters to negotiators of the secretive Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) on Wednesday, expressing their concern that the trade deal’s approval will force websites to censor content and block Internet users.

Spearheaded by the United States, the TPP––dubbed a “free trade” deal––includes twelve of the world’s most economically-prosperous countries that cumulatively account for 40 percent of the global economy. With the possibility of wide-reaching effects on everything from Internet freedom to the prices of medicine in developing countries, critics have slammed it as a “corporate coup d’etat” and “NAFTA on steroids.” Although the text of the deal has not been seen in its entirety by anyone outside of the negotiations, a draft version of the intellectual property rights section of the deal was released last November by WikiLeaks, and Internet rights groups have voiced their opposition ever since.   Continue reading “Digital Rights Groups Warn TPP Will Force ‘Policing’ Of Internet Users”

President Obama has officially asked for $3.7 billion in emergency funding to handle the tens of thousands of Central American children who’ve showed up unaccompanied at the U.S.-Mexico border seeking entry and support.

According to the Washington Post, “Administration officials said the request is part of a comprehensive strategy aimed at building more detention centers, adding immigration judges, and beefing up border patrols and air surveillance.” Detention facilities would be set-up in border areas, where temporary facilities are now being controversially used to house immigrants.   Continue reading “Obama’s Border Solution: Build More FEMA Detention Camps”

It happens to the best of us. One minute you are just kicking it with this seemingly cool person, and the next minute you realize they are really a snake. It is a tough pill to swallow.

First there is a sense of disbelief. You can’t believe your one time friend could actually be a down and dirty low-life snake in the grass. It can’t be, can it? Could this person, or group of people, who you trusted and admired sold you out for some financial compensation and fancy trinkets? Have you been lied to this whole time? Do ethics and morality mean nothing?   Continue reading “What to do when you are friends with snakes”

In conjunction with the North Las Vegas Police Department (NLVPD), officers devised a plan to commandeer the home of Anthony Mitchell, as well as the home of his parents, Michael and Linda Mitchell — both living adjacent to the suspect.  Each of them were innocent and uninvolved in the suspected crime.   Continue reading “Two homes forcibly commandeered by police, innocent homeowners arrested”
