Fronting - How to Determine When You Are Being Set Up For an AssaultWritten by Carl Cestari
Continued from page 1
Decrease DISTANCE necessary for YOUR attack to be effective.Remove or minimize OPPORTUNITY necessary for assailant to be effective. MAXIMIZE your OPPORTUNITY to make YOUR attack effective.The assailant has to TARGET YOU, COVER THE DISTANCE TO GET TO YOU, and then have THE OPPORTUNITY to implement his assault, in other words you have to be there when he gets there.Now! Time - Distance - Opportunity = SPEED - POWER - ACCURACY. That's full "combat" equation. It works for assailant AND it works for you. So, I'm more concerned with "how" we disrupt equation for attacker and use it to our advantage, than I am about "defending against punch".Here are two good ones:"A miss is as good as a mile" "Almost only works for horseshoes and hand-grenades" That's also what I mean when I say look at "big picture".Combat shooting:Speed and "man-killing" accuracy: "nail driving" accuracy is great as long as it doesn't affect your SPEED!Distance: measure off longest "area" in your home. Hallway, bedroom, kitchen, or all places that an attack may occur. What's distance? Don't waste time at firing ranges over that! I know people that have weapons strategically placed around their living environment. Never know where you'll be when you need what you don't have, right? How about one place where you really are naked as a jay-bird? How about shower? Drawstring or a plastic bag (waterproof) with you, in shower, containing 230 grains of "soap". No, I'm NOT kidding. Better to have "it" and NOT ever need it, than to need "it" and NOT have it. ALWAYS, ALWAYS.....remember Uncle Murphy! The SOB will always show up when least expected, ALWAYS!

Continued from page 1
Anna and I discussed this challenge, and fact that she's dealt with it before. In fact, every year at this time, she finds herself even more overwhelmed than usual. When I reminded her of this, she responded with amazement. "You know, you're right! And when this happened last year, what helped was taking time out for myself." It did help. I remember talking with Anna and encouraging her to slow down and take care of herself. She protested, like many ADDers do, "How can I possibly slow down when I have so much to do?" But truth of matter is that slowing down helps an ADDer get centered, de-stress, and gain control. So Anna and I worked out some ways that she could slow down, and make life about more than her to-do list, even though there was a lot to be done. We decided she would: Go to gym in morning, because she likes to work out and she finds it helps keep her stress levels down Find a babysitter and go on a "date" with her husband one night a week, because she likes to spend quality time with her husband Take 15 minutes every evening before bed to plan out tasks that she can reasonably accomplish next day, because she likes to feel in control of her time "It really helped," Anna said as she remembered her life at this time last year. "I was having fun so I wasn't so stressed all time, and so all things I had to do seemed more manageable. And once I established a planning routine, I didn't feel frustrated or surprised by new things when they came up." Anna decided that she needed to implement this "slow-down" time once again. It's only been a day, but she went back to gym, scheduled lunch and a movie with her husband for Sunday, kids have their school supplies, and Butter's itchy ear has been treated! When I asked permission to share her story, Anna offered this tip: "Tell your readers that planning is thing that really makes all difference! Sometimes I need to slow down in order to speed up." © Copyright 2004
