Oasis is the only place I would recommend in Atlanta to tint your car. Professional, Fast and Friendly. I actually shopped around and was quoted cheaper prices but after talking to Clark, I was convinced that this is the best place to go. Took my car in and they finished it within the time they stated and educated me on a bunch of stuff. My car looks great and the tint is doing what it is suppose to. I came back 2 days later to do the front. If you care about your car, don't skimp on the $ and let these guys take care of it. Obviously I must be happy for writing all these reviews for them and I didn't get a discount.

If you value the quality of professional looking tint, these guys are the ones to visit. Don't settle for some guy down the street that only charges $200 for the whole car. You get what you pay for. I'm so happy with the finished product. They did great work.
I have a 1994 acura integra that I got tented back in 1994 . 10 years later the tent turn purple and had a bubble. Still had the original receipt ( which was a surprise to me ) . I took the car in and they tented the whole car for Free! I took the car in again in 2013 because another bubble was on the drivers side window. They redid the whole car again. Great great customer service!

Really like Oasis. Great service and incredibly knowledgeable on all things tint. Had some top notch work done there and even repaired some sub-par work that I had done at another ship. Will definitley be going back when needed and would highly recommend these guys!
Oasis Window Tinting is the absolute best in the business, I have brought my last 5 cars to these guys and been 110% satisfied each and every time. They are professional, educated, and efficient. Their work has been perfect every single time, no bubbles, no gaps, just perfection. I would recommend their services to any one who is interested in having their car tinted, which honestly pays for itself thousands of times over since there is much less need to run the A/C in Hotlanta with tinted windows from Oasis.

My husband and I both got our windows tinted at Oasis within the last couple of months. Each time, the experience was great, and the end result is exactly what we were looking for. These guys really know their stuff. I would recommend Oasis to anyone looking to enhance their vehicle in this way. These are definitely the guys to trust.
This is the second 335i that Oasis has done. Both cars have looked great, excellent work and service, highly recommended!

Highly reccommend Oasis. They were very friendly and very helpful and explained everything in detail. I told them what I was looking for and they helped select the best tint based on my preference. They completed the job in a timely manner and I am extremely happy with the way my window tint looks on my truck.

Thank you Oasis for the fabulous tint job. After dealing with a less reputable tint shop in Buckhead, it is refreshing to know that you were able to correct their mistakes and make my car awesome. You were quick, reliable and your work was impeccable. I look forward to seeing you next week so you can tint my Escape. You absolutely rock.
I have been doing business with Sundown since 2005 and I will always let him and his crew tint my cars. Just had my CRV tinted and looks totally different. Thank you Clark & Sundown for your recommendations and for the excellent work you do.

These guys did a great job on my car. Great recommendation on the tint type. Looks and works great!
The guys were very professional throughout my experience. They answered all my initial questions and suggested the best tint for my vehicle by showing examples. It has been two weeks and the results look good. It does not look like a second hand job. There are a few dust particles which I understand is to be expected(from online blogs)Overall I am satisfied and would more than likely bring my next vehicle to them.
I've had my tinted windows for a year now and the quality is great. Oasis was fast and professional

Remarks by China's State Councilor Liu Yandong at the 2011 National Chinese Language Conference
San Francisco, CA | April 14, 2011
(Applause) It's such a lively scene today. When I visited the United States in April 2009, the College Board and Asia Society hosted a grand dinner for the Chinese delegation, the warm and friendly atmosphere and the lively interaction of which I still vividly remember today. Just now my old friends, President Gaston Caperton and President Vishakha Desai, told me that this conference was originally planned for 900 participants; however, the actual number of delegates registered for participation is more than 1,500. Some of you drove more than ten hours to get here. I'm deeply touched by your enthusiasm and active participation.
Even more touching to me is a letter I received not long ago from a 12th-grade student from Oregon written in neat Chinese. In the letter he wrote, "I think Chinese language is very interesting as it's important for the future of the world. I hope I can go to China sometime to visit the world-famous Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an." (Applause) There is another group of lovely kids from this state who hear lots of things about China and want to share their impression of China with me. (Presentation of drawings by the kids) This is what they think of China. In my view, learning Chinese language evokes the kids' heartfelt love for China – a place thousand of miles away, far across the ocean – which indicates the power of language and cultural exchange. Although we have a tight schedule for this visit, I've decided to squeeze some time to visit the kids in Oregon. (Applause)
I think these two letters confirm the gratifying results of Chinese education in the U.S. For a long time, the College Board, led by President Gaston Caperton, and the Asia Society, led by President Vishakha Desai, have been promoting social exchanges between these two countries with wisdom and vision. By starting with language teaching to promote educational and cultural exchanges between the two countries, they've become leaders in strengthening the Sino-American relationship. Since it began in 2008, the National Chinese Language Conference's growing influence has played an important role in promoting Chinese teaching in the U.S.
All delegates present have been wholly dedicated to Chinese education and cultural exchange. Each of these individuals is like a bridge of communication and friendship between China and the U.S. The federal government, state governments, and schools are increasing emphasis on Chinese language teaching and issuing strong support for establishing Chinese language courses in primary and secondary schools. Recently, Governor John Kitzhaber of Oregon and house speaker wrote me a letter to announce that Oregon has passed a state bill for conducting Chinese language classes in its public schools. To date, more than 5,000 students in over 50 schools have started learning Chinese. (Applause) I also congratulate them. For Chinese education in the U.S. to have such a good situation today and the Sino-American friendship to have such a good foundation in the private sector, your contribution cannot be denied. I pay great respect to you and through you to all those friends engaged in Chinese teaching in the U.S. (Applause)
Ladies and gentlemen, in this era, our world has become a global village where scientific and technological progress brings distant lands closer together. Safeguarding the common interests of mankind and coping with common challenges require us all to work together, regardless of where we live. Language is the first tool of human communication. The desire of all people to learn foreign languages and enhance understanding has never been as strong as it is today. The Chinese government actively promotes and encourages people, particularly the youth, to learn foreign languages. Over sixty kinds of foreign languages are now available in Chinese institutions of higher education and most primary schools begin teaching English in the third grade. Over 300 million Chinese are learning English now and thus playing an important role in their understanding of the outside world and promoting friendship with people of foreign countries. With the growing exchanges between China and the world, a sort of Chinese language fever has also reached a global scale. At this point, 98 countries and regions have set up Confucius Institutes and Confucius classrooms comprising a total of around 400,000 students. In the United States, more than 1,000 universities have set up Chinese language departments, more than 4,000 primary and secondary schools offer Chinese courses and increaslingly more states arrange Confucius classrooms within primary and secondary schools. Chinese language teaching is flourishing and highlights the positive development of bilateral relations.
Sino-American language exchange not only enjoys broad support by civil society, but is also highly valued by the heads of state of these two countries. During President Hu Jintao's U.S. visit in January, he paid a special visit to the Chicago Confucius Institute of Walter Payton College Prep where he expressed his great appreciation for Chinese education in the U.S. In fact, President Hu initiated the Chinese Bridge program encouraging 100,000 foreigners to do research in China. Meanwhile, President Obama has come up with the 100,000 Strong Initiative, which seeks to increase the number of Americans studying in China to 100,000. Both programs will greatly stimulate the language and cultural exchanges between these two countries. I would also like to add that 180 million Chinese students have studied abroad since China's reform and opening up three decades ago, of which 60 million studied in the U.S. Currently, 130,000 Chinese students are studying in the U.S., whereas 20,000 American students are studying abroad in China. (Applause)
Ladies and gentlemen, language is the carrier of culture. The famous American poet Walt Whitman once said that language is intertwined with love and hate, joy and suffering, needs and satisfaction of the common people. Learning Chinese not only enables one to obtain a communication tool, but more importantly to enjoy the unique charm of Chinese culture. Chinese written script is the world's only living pictograph. For example, the Chinese word for "harmony" – hexie – consists of two characters: "he" and "xie." The first character expresses food for all and the second expresses a voice for all. Studies indicate that the ancient Chinese focused on everyday livelihoods and democratic values when creating the characters for their written script. Through the course of China's long history, "he" has enhanced in meaning and has evolved into a core concept of Chinese traditional culture. "He" (harmony)consists of four branches: first, overall harmony is the most valuable principle; second, all nations shall live in perfect harmony; third, harmony occurs between man and nature; and fourth, harmony exists without uniformity. These ideas are firmly integrated in Chinese heritage. They shape the nation's drive for harmony and peace-loving nature and these ideas have guided Chinese society's interaction with foreign nations throughout China's history. The concept of "he" permeates China's current policy of building a harmonious society internally and adhering to peace and development externally. "He" advocates diverse civilizations to learn from one another through dialogue and exchange, to live in harmony through seeking common ground while putting aside differences, and to reach the ideal situation of "finding your beauty and that of others; sharing the beauty and achieve unity." Therefore, I think by understanding the meaning of "he," we can better understand the essence of Chinese traditional culture as well as contemporary China's state of mind in longing for peaceful development. Many commonly used words in the development of Sino–U.S. bilateral relations such as "be in the same boat," "tolerance and mutual trust," "partnership," "mutual respect," and "mutual benefit" highlight the eminence of "he."
Ladies and gentlemen, this year marks the 40th anniversary of the famous "ping pong diplomacy" and Dr. Henry Kissinger's secret visit to China, which together opened the door to a new era of Sino-American relations. Now, four decades later, the development of Sino–American relations is well beyond people's expectations. This cross-cultural relationship has become one of the world's most dynamic and important bilateral bonds, benefiting a quarter of the world's population – 1.6 billion people. The two countries have established 36 pairs of friendship provinces and states, as well as 160 pairs of friendship cities. Annual cross-border travel has reached over 3 million tourists. The U.S. is China's second largest export market. A lot of investment in China has brought advanced technology and management experience to China. 600,000 Chinese students have studied in the U.S. and made advancements in their studies. The U.S. has also benefited a great deal from China's rapid development. China is the fastest-growing major export destination for the U.S. for nine consecutive years. Four million U.S. jobs are closely related to Sino–American trade. The largest contribution to the global profits of many U.S. companies come from China. Even during the two years of most serious international financial crisis, more than 70 percent of America's companies made profits in China. Currently that number is at 85 percent. It is rare and commendable that two countries at such different stages of development have such a great blend of interest and interdependence that benefit the whole world.
With the deepening of economic globalization, China and the U.S. have more extensive common interests and shoulder more important mutual responsibilities. Sino–American coordination and cooperation has become an indispensable link in solving many regional hot issues and global problems. At this juncture, it is the common aspiration of both sides to build a more stable, lasting and dynamic Sino–American partnership.
During his successful visit to the U.S. in January, President Hu Jintao and President Barack Obama reached the important consensus of building a mutual-respect, mutual-benefit and win-win China–U.S. partnership. The Sino–American Joint Statement issued by the two sides includes cultural exchanges in the strategic framework for Sino–U.S. relations as part of building partnerships for the first time. This is of great vision and practical relevance. An old Chinese saying goes, "The relationship between two countries is based on their mutual intimate engagement, the valuable understanding produced from this engagement and the sincerity of lifelong friendships." Cultural exchange is person-to-person and heart-to-heart communication, which plays an irreplaceable role for people in achieving mutual respect, deepening understanding and enhancing friendship. It can develop warm and lasting sentiments between the people, help people rationally view differences and build a solid basis of trust.
The purpose of my visit this time at the invitation of the U.S. government is to implement the results of President Hu's visit and to strengthen cultural exchanges. Two days ago, I co-chaired the second round of consultations on cultural exchanges with Secretary of State Hilary Clinton. Both sides vow to take concrete steps to promote cooperation in various fields, including education, science and technology, culture, women and youth, as well as to attract people from all sectors like government, education, businesses and communities to participate in these exchanges. In my visit to the U.S. in 2009, I brought the "three eight hundred" program on Chinese educational exchanges, which invited 800 primary and secondary school principals and 800 university and secondary school students to visit China, and provided 800 scholarships for the Confucius Institute. For the joint consultation with the U.S government this time, I have brought a new "three ten thousand" program. (Applause) That is, within four years, Chi.na will support 10,000 American students to study in China, implement the "Chinese Bridge" program that encourages 10,000 foreigners to do research in China and send 10,000 Chinese students to study in the U.S. for PhD degrees at the government's expense. (Applause) We will also set up Sino–American women leaders exchange programs and youth leaders exchange programs, support high-level universities to establish cooperation platforms for teaching and research, and encourage mutual visits and exchanges between primary and secondary school and university teachers and principals. Over the next two years, we will hold Chinese cultural festivals in the U.S. to carry out arts, heritage, film, publishing and other exchanges.
In my view, the Sino–American friendship is rooted in the people and the broad participation of the people will make the tree of Sino–American friendship a well established and vigorously developing one. (Applause) Chinese education is an important part of cultural exchanges and the fundamental purpose for China to promote Chinese language teaching is to promote understanding, mutual trust and cooperation. We will extend more support to Chinese education in the U.S., train more local Chinese language teachers, send over more Chinese volunteers and promote exchanges between students, teachers and principals of primary and secondary schools and universities. At the same time, we will offer help on Chinese teaching materials and curriculum to U.S. schools of all kinds and levels based on the actual needs of the American education system.
Therefore, I sincerely hope all of you to carry on with the noble cause of enhancing understanding and friendship between the Chinese and American people, to continue to be explorers of local Chinese education, practitioners of cultural exchange and promoters of Sino–American friendship! (Applause)
Ladies and gentlemen, 27 years ago when I was the Vice-Chairman of the All-China Youth Federation, I led a Chinese youth delegation's first visit to the U.S., during which we visited San Francisco. Back then, in many parts of the U.S., I only noticed Chinese characters in Chinese restaurants. Now, however, when I was walking the San Fran streets, many people greeted me with "Ni hao." (Applause) In my view, it shows the power of language exchange that enables us to transcend national borders, span oceans and become closer with one another. I'd like to extend my sincere thanks to the Asia Society, College Board, Assistant Secretary Of State Kurt M. Campbell, President Vishakha Desai,President Gaston Caperton, and all friends present tonight! Let's work together and do our best to promote the friendship between our two countries and, in turn, promote the peace and prosperity of the world!

When the series Six Feet Under was on TV, I watched each week. I loved the drama, and was fascinated by the corpses. What's not to love about a series that takes place in a funeral home? In fact, Six Feet Under deserves a lot of credit for bringing death and the funeral industry into a prominent position within mainstream entertainment, and for making this taboo subject a little less so. The series is full of brilliant performances from an amazing ensemble cast, and the storylines (refreshingly!) don't pander to the audience. Get out your Kleenex for one of the most memorable series finales on record.
If you've never watched Six Feet Under, then stop whatever it is you're doing and run to your local library branch!
It's not just TV. It's HBO!

Perfect Solution!
By Laureen P. from Salamanca, NY on Jul 19, 2012
Practical, Stylish
I needed a locking gun cabinet, but didn't want a glass front which would provide a smash and grab opportunity in the even of a burgalry.(These days who knows?) The only space I had availbable was in the living room, so I wasn't keen on having a traditional gun safe either. Voila! The Gunfather Clock! This is a well made cabinet with beautiful finish. All visitors to our home have asked if it's new or part of an inheritance, etc. Close up inspection the face of the clock indicates it is not a priceless heirloom, but it is in a back corner and looks wonderful from a few feet away. I have my three most frequently used guns in it for easy access. I would caution that while the advertisement says it holds six guns,it seems better suited for 3. I highly recommend this product if you are seeking a locking cabinet that is suitable for living areas in your home.

The war against teaching children science
Review interview: Richard Dawkins - Times Online
Dawkins believes that many science teachers who do believe in evolution are selling our children short by kowtowing to political correctness. At the moment, he points out, Darwinian evolution is taught in British schools at key stages 3 and 4, but under the national curriculum, alternative theories such as "intelligent design" (part of the creationist credo) "could be discussed in schools . . . in the context of being one of a range of views on evolution", according to a government education minister.
"It's fine to teach children about scientific controversies," Dawkins says. "What is not fine is to say, 'There are these two theories. One is called evolution, the other is called Genesis.' If you are going to say that, then you should talk about the Nigerian tribe who believe the world was created from the excrement of ants."
Cowardice is at the root of the problem, he feels. When it comes to presenting the truth of science against the "mythology" of religion, science teachers duck the issue for fear of reprimand. And not only from evangelical Christians. In his view, devout Muslims are a large part of the problem.
"Islam is importing creationism into this country," he says...."It seems as though teachers are terribly frightened of being thought racist," says Dawkins. "It's almost impossible to say anything against Islam in this country, because [if you do] you are accused of being racist or Islamophobic."

Neema Ngwatilo | 2008 | Kenya
In response to the post-election violence, Ngwatilo has composed this stunning song, drawing upon the image of the Kenyan flag in order to appeal for peace. Ngwatilo grew up singing in a church in Nairobi, Kenya. As a young adult, she journeyed to South Africa to study the role of Kwaito music in shaping post-apartheid urban youth identity. In this environment, she learned to blend music and poetry while digging deep into her roots and staying close to her heart.
Connect with Ngwatilo on MySpace. | Listen to the song "Flag and Future."

Celebrating a birthday is a special time for most young children. But what if their parents can't afford to throw them a birthday party -- or even make them a cake?
Kelly Eggleston of Spokane, Wash., started the non-profit organization Free Cakes for Kids to address that need.
Eggleston found nearly 40 bakers on Craigslist to make free cakes for needy kids. The group gave away 140 birthday cakes last year, and their goal is to give away 200 cakes this year. Most of the referrals come from local foster agencies and the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization.
"We go into some pretty shady neighborhoods and places, and it's always that hope that you've put a seed into a child that someone cared about them and love them enough to give them a cake," Eggleston told Spokane television station KXLY.
"Hopefully that little bit will grow in them," she added.
One of the bakers, Jessica Manfredonia, says the most rewarding thing for her is delivering the cakes to the kids.
"To see them jump up and down and get excited and give you a hug is probably most rewarding," she said.

Jermaine O'Neal to have season-ending surgery
During Jermaine O'Neal's two seasons with the Celtics, his body just wouldn't work. He injured his knees. He injured his wrist. He couldn't jump like he used to. He couldn't score like he once did. He played just 24 games in his first year with the Cs, 25 in his second, and — after the Boston Herald's Steve Bulpett broke the news today that J.O. will undergo season-ending surgery to repair his left wrist — he'll probably never suit up for the Celtics again.
He may never suit up for any NBA team again, considering that his contract expires following this season and the last two seasons have put O'Neal through such a bumpy ride.
We know his body failed him, but is O'Neal tough? One hundred percent of you probably screamed "HELL NO!" at your computer screen, and I've surely made plenty "It's windy out here, Jermaine O'Neal probably just broke a bone" jokes myself, but how many non-tough guys competed in the NBA playoffs with a broken wrist, taking charges despite the pain?
O'Neal's tenure in Boston certainly fell short of expectations. He couldn't stay on the court, and when he did play, he couldn't provide the type of help Danny Ainge envisioned when he signed O'Neal to a two-year, $12 million contract. O'Neal came to Boston desperately wanting a championship and will leave without one. But don't hate him. Hate his body, which simply couldn't hold up. And I'm sure O'Neal hates that more than anyone else.

Well played - local team succeeds in Cooperstown
A team of 11- and 12-year-old baseball players, primarily from Archdale and Trinity, found their field of dreams last week in the city synonymous with the heritage of America's pastime.
The Carolina Thunder Stixx competed for the first time in the Cooperstown Dreamspark tournament held on fields in Cooperstown, N.Y., the home of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. The team made up of 11 players and three coaches won its first six games and finished in the top 20 among 104 squads in the intensely competitive tournament.
Many of the teams in the tournament draw from parts of the country with much larger bases of population and have squads that have been together much longer than the Thunder Stixx, which accentuates the local team's accomplishment, said assistant coach Bryan Marshall.
The Thunder Stixx team was launched four years ago. The squad mainly is made up of players from communities in and around Archdale and Trinity, though a couple of the boys are from the Greensboro area, Marshall said.
"We've been planning this for about two years. They only take 104 teams," Marshall said about the Thunder Stixx qualifying for the Cooperstown tournament.
The players and coaches with the team, which played its first game June 23 in Cooperstown, also got to visit the Baseball Hall of Fame while there.
"These kids put in a lot of time and effort. We practice at least a couple of times a week," Marshall said. "It was a great experience for these kids to be involved up there."

Asus Transformer Pad Infinity gets pricing and release for Italy
We've been patiently waiting for a release date to be announced for the upcoming Asus Transformer Pad Infinity, and we've finally gotten one... for Italy. Still, the info may give an idea to when the tablet will be making its way across the pond to the US. We've heard that the Transformer Pad Infinity will be coming in 32 and 64 GB variants, but so far only the 64 GB model has gotten info for Italy.
Notebook Italia has reported that the 64 GB model of the Infinity will be shipping on June 10th, and will cost €599 (~$782). The rumored pricing for the US has been put at $599 for the 32 GB model and $699 for the 64 GB, so a pricing of €599 seems on target as electronics tend to be more expensive in Europe. Unfortunately, the info from Notebook Italia is labeled for the WiFi-only model, so there's no word yet on when the LTE model will be made available.
We're hoping this means more info is coming, but we'll have to wait and see.

Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Anti-Gunners!
The Supreme Court just made staying on the right side of the law a lot more difficult for gun owners. In a controversial decision, the high court ruled in favor of gun control groups and the Obama Administration. The decision settles the often-contradictory lower court rulings handed down by the Federal Appeals courts.
Justices Elena Kagan, Anthony Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor in the majority were in the majority in which the court attempted to broaden the definition of a straw purchase.
The case was based on a purchase by a former police officer. Bruce Abramski purchased a GLOCK handgun with a law enforcement discount in his home state of Virginia. While filling out ATF Form 4473, Bruce Abramski answered question 11a. "Are you the actual transferee/buyer of the firearm(s) listed on this form? Warning: You are not the actual buyer if you are acquiring the firearm(s) on behalf of another person. If you are not the actual buyer, the dealer cannot transfer the firearm(s) to you." stating he was the actual buyer.
The actual definition of a purchaser have the courts divided. For instance, the court allows a person to buy a firearm with the intention of giving it as a gift, or to buy it for the purposes of a raffle without being considered a straw purchase. Abramski's case was different, however, in that the uncle—Bruce Abramski later transferred the firearm to—had sent him a check with GLOCK 19 written in the memo a few days before the actual firearm purchase.
Therefore, the issue at hand was whether the statement was material to a sale that would otherwise be lawful—neither the buyer nor uncle had any legal restrictions that would have prevented them from owning the GLOCK. The Obama Administration stated that Abramski did not act within the letter and spirit of the law, claiming the action was necessary to ensure accurate record keeping to later trace the weapon. However, Form 4473 is not supposed to be a weapon registration. It is merely a record of an over-the-counter firearm transaction with a secondary purpose of obtaining the necessary information for a background check.
Gun rights advocates charge the Administration's position is a massive overreach. Their contention states this improperly defines a law (straw purchase) that is meant to prevent illegal purchases, or legal purchases that would then be handed over to individuals who could not legally purchase or possess the weapon, and applies it to two individuals who can legally purchase and own the firearm. It is not much of a stretch to say this is a backhanded attempt to weaken legal transfers under what the anti-gunners have dubbed the Gun Show Loophole.
Accordingly, legal scholars state the ruling is not an affront to the Second Amendment. In recent years, the Supreme Court has clarified other cases and laws, which has had the effect of broadening the definition of an individual's right to bear arms—to which we have been grateful. However, this latest ruling is a defeat and clearly affirms that going forward, the transferee/buyer must disclose any intent to resell the firearm at the time of purchase.
During the original case and subsequent appeals, Abramski admitted he was the buyer and claimed he made it clear that he intended to sell the pistol to his uncle in Pennsylvania. He further claimed that he was instructed the transfer would be legal as long as his uncle received the firearm through an FFL and filled out the appropriate Form 4473—an action that was in fact completed days later. However, this fact seemed to have landed on deaf ears for the majority of the high court's members. The Justices were not concerned with the entire process, but only focused on the narrow matter of intent when box 11a was checked.
The unfortunate ending to this story is a warning to all law-abiding gun owners. The current administration is bent on persecuting gun owners at any opportunity. Abramski was in fact suspected of other crimes that prompted the original investigation that led to straw purchase charge, but that does not mean that you and I are any safer from the anti-gunners in the future. While this was a rare victory in recent years against gun rights, we all need to tighten our defenses and support gun rights groups such as the NRA, NAGR, SAF and others.
What is your take on Supreme Court's ruling? Share it with us in the comment section.

This is not an opinion. It is accurate information. So hopefully it will be construed as such. President Obama's administration has violated the letter of the law so many times on so many different issues. Prosecuting this case and not prosecuting the Wall Street crooks, just as one of many examples, clearly illustrates the inability of the administration to even have a clue about priorities. They will prosecute pet peeves but not real, serious crime. What a bunch of losers.
My apologies for a too quickly written comment. The remarks were to have been prefaced with reference to California laws.
In CA, all handgun transfers must be processed through a licensed dealer, with few exceptions, so cannot be "gifted" freely. One of these exceptions is a gift between a child, parent, or grandparent (immediate family). In that case, there is a CA form (Report of Operation of Law or interfamilial Transfer) which must be filed with CA DOJ, but does not require a dealer. Transfers to all other relatives and friends, including uncles, fall under the usual transfer rules, and do need to go through a dealer. For the original 4473, a parent buying a gun as a gift for a child of the correct age, for example, would check "yes" in 11a, but must use their own funds (per 4473 instructions).
As to the CA laws being convoluted, in ATF Publication 5300.5 (State Laws and Published Ordinances – Firearms), CA takes up 70 pages, where the entire book for all 50 states is only 480 pages!
@ tl76: I will assume your most recent comment was addressing my response a few pages back in which I corrected some of your inaccuracies regarding gun purchase and transfer laws. Based on your latest post I now understand your predicament more clearly.
Thank you for taking the time to clarify. However, though your situation is very interesting, I cannot speak on issues regarding the gun laws of foreign countries. In my country and region, our citizens vote to elect as many leaders that believe in upholding and defending gun rights per our Constitution.
If you are secretly pro-gun, I highly encourage you to defect to our country. You won't regret it. Be well.
Chris Dublynn
Chris Dublynn, you are WRONG and also DANGEROUSLY WRONG.
You are WRONG because there is nothing in the law nor this Court's ruling that states one "MUST BE THE INTENDED OWNER WHEN TRYING TO BUY A GUN". And clearly there are "IFS ANDS OR BUTS…" because I can, and have, lawfully purchased many guns as gifts and will continue to do so legally under the current law.
But more importantly you are DANGEROUSLY WRONG because you have just advised people to break the law with a straw purchase by recommending that, "EVEN IF ITS A GIFT.. TAKE THE PERSON WITH YOU TO THE STORE, HAVE THEM FILL OUT THE FORM AS REQUIRED AND JUST PAY FOR THE GIFT".
People please do not follow this poor advice. As a law enforcement agent with over 32 years of service (and counting), I can assure you a transaction done in this manner is unlawful. Per the ATF Form 4473 you MUST be the "actual transferee/buyer of the firearm(s) listed on the form", not the "THE INTENDED OWNER" as Chris Dublynn stated.
What you lawfully choose to do with that gun after you purchase it is no one's business; this includes giving it away, raffling it off, donating it, or selling it to anyone else you please as long as you do not knowingly transfer it to a prohibited possessor.
Another important consideration for why such a flawed gifting idea is unlawful: An adult can lawfully gift a minor child a handgun or rifle of which may be lawfully possessed and operated by said minor on their own private land without adult supervision and on public land with adult supervision. However, if an adult wanting to gift a gun to a minor did attempt to subscribe to such poor advice by actually bringing the minor in to fill out ATF paperwork, that would not only land them in jail for contributing to the delinquency of that minor, but also give that child their first felony charge for attempting to purchase a gun under age.
Minors can't buy guns, but they may lawfully own them. I think you need to rethink your dangerously flawed opinion. And for that matter withdraw your self-proclamation as "pro-gun" until you earn that right with a bit more study.

In reply to "Need to get rid of Obama and elect enough republicans to take over the Senate. Then change the make up of the Supreme Court."
Well he will be goon at the next presidential election, at the latest!
As for the rest…..well that remains to be seen. I believe pigs have a better chance of flying.
Weather you agree with Supreme courts decisions or not, its the process we adhere to which separates us from the remainder of the animal kingdom. And until we as Americans take up arms this will not change in the foreseeable future. Sheeple don't lead they follow as the name implies.
Oh and as the name implies, I am a LIBERAL and among other things believe in the liberal distribution of firearms, to all, yes to all! The criminals already have guns. An armed society is a civil society.
What really happened in the Abramski case? I've been reading numerous repeat questions, many of which have already been answered by me in previous comments. I know 8 pages of commentary is a lot to read through so I will sum up as many answers here as possible.
Most of Bruce Abramski's case information is in the public domain now so I am not violating the Privacy Act or agency policy with anything I release here. There is much more to his case than I can disclose here, but hopefully this brief overview will put things into perspective:
Bruce Abramski was a rookie officer that had been terminated after an investigation into money that had gone missing during a call he'd been on. He was let go as a condition violation of his work probation. No charges were filed and he was even allowed to draw unemployment. Eventually that ran out and he went into debt and defaulted on his mortgage. He and his wife separated.
Shortly after his savings ran out a bank robbery took place. $4000 was taken and there was very compelling evidence against Abramski. His wife had worked at a bank indicating he had inside information. A previous partner revealed that once while back on patrol Ambramski had mentioned to him how a particular bank they'd passed by would be easy to hit.
On the day of the robbery Ambramski just happened to test drive the exact model and color of truck that was used to rob the bank in question. Fellow officers also ID'ed security footage of the masked individual as having the same jacket, features, muscular build, walk, and was carrying a distinct gun/duty bag that a fellow officer had gifted Abramski as a rookie; a bag of which they were known to usually buy straight out of the police academy.
Days after the robbery a penniless Abramski was all of a sudden able to afford the purchase of approximately $2000 in various guns. One of those guns was a Glock for his father-in-law. All paid for in $20 dollar bills from a bank's zipper pouch.
Later under pressure from the FBI and sheriff's investigation into the robbery, Abramski confided in his best friend, who was also an officer, that he had nothing left to lose and planned on killing other officers from his old department as well as some sheriff's deputies that had made fun of him during an unrelated call. The officer friend reported this, which in turn prompted the FBI to step up their investigation and execute a search warrant on Abramski's home. It was at this time the FBI discovered the receipt for the Glock Abramski purchased for his father-in-law.
A warrant was issued and Abramski turned himself in. I'll spare the details but suffice it to say several arrests, hearings, bails, and releases occurred over the following months. Eventually the bulk of the charges were dismissed because the FBI failed to release evidence to the sheriff's office which hindered their ability to proceed with a prosecution.
The only charge that remained was the FBI's gun straw purchase charge. Abramski's family hired him an attorney and off the case went to the Supreme Court.
So I'm just going to say it since no one else will. I think they let Abramski get away with bank robbery so there would be no distractions as they orchestrated and steered this anti-gun charge towards the Supreme Court. There was insurmountable evidence of a bank robbery and all they go for is a lesser weapons charge? Why not both?
A federal prosecutor has the authority to decline prosecutions they feel are not significant enough to merit prosecution in federal court. But to swap the greater crime of bank robbery for the lesser gun crime appears suspiciously political to me.
Many civilians are unaware that unlike state and local courts, we (federal agents) are allowed to sit in the courtroom and assist with the prosecution during trials in federal court even if we are also going to provide testimony at some point. The robbery had to come up as part of the affiant's testimony for the search warrant. More than likely the affiant of the warrant was also the case agent sitting through most of the trial. So what I don't understand is how this agent could explain the justification for withholding evidence that dropped the bank robbery charges in lieu of a simple gun charge. If not derelict, it at least had to be embarrassingly obvious to all the court officers.
Federal prosecutors can also refer cases for state prosecution and turn over their evidence, but they opted to not do that either. So again, the focus seems to be heavily bent on getting this gun charge up to the Supreme Court and letting everything else fall by the wayside.
Regardless, there has been much displaced blame in these forums about this case, but it should be directed squarely at Abramski and his attorney for selfishly forcing the issue upon the Supreme Court once he knew he was guilty. Abramski accepted the check for payment from his father-in-law prior to stepping foot into that gun store. So he violated the law as it is written and even under the examples provided in the ATF Form 4473's instructions that are provided to everyone.
To Ambramski's credit he initially did not think he was breaking the law as he was very forthright about what he was doing and even told the counter clerk it was for is father-in-law. That clerk still encouraged Ambramski that it was okay under these circumstances to mark on the ATF Form 4473 that he was the purchaser. Later Ambramski even went so far as to legally use another FFL to properly transfer the gun to his father-in-law. But alas, many are also unaware that some gun laws are written in such a way that a federal prosecutor does not have to prove you knowingly broke the law, only that you did break the law. And that is what happened here.
Simply put it is unlawful to purchase a gun for another person with their funds. It was that way prior to the Supreme Court's decision and it is still the same after they rendered this recent decision. Not one thing has changed about the law after the Courts ruling. I actually laugh because the liberals think they've won something here. I say let them think that, and enjoy our quiet joke amongst ourselves.
As for other questions, I will repost some of my answers: Some commenters have stated they feel Abramski's use of his law enforcement discount was unethical or somehow illegal.
I quite often use my law enforcement discount when purchasing firearms and gear. These discounts are offered in many different ways, but primarily they are either an overall LEA discount offered by the gun shop or a dealer direct LEA discount authorized by (most commonly) Glock and Smith & Wesson.
To qualify for the discount we either show our LEA credentials at the point of purchase, or if it is an Internet purchase that will be shipped to an FFL, we are allowed to fax or email a scanned copy of our official LEA I.D./Badge and a copy of our driver license into the Internet dealer. Manny online outlets keep a copy on file so we don't have to keep sending it in with each purchase.
Now to address these comments… once the purchase is made, there is nothing legally, ethically, or fraudulently wrong with gifting or later selling the purchase to another person. The gun dealer could care less, likewise Glock and Smith & Wesson could care less. There is no contingent stipulating the weapons must be used for official duty only.
The bottom line is these are private companies offering a discount to make a sale and to ensure their brand remains relevant and associated in good standing with law enforcement. There were never any strings attached.
Some of you had questions about lawful gun purchases and transfers so I commented as follows:
I am an LEA and can assure others here of the following: You may buy a gun and later sell it or give it as a gift to ANY ONE you please (not just family). However, they must reside in the same state as the gun originally purchased or resides. They may not be a prohibited possessor (felon), but you are under no obligation to do a background check to find out either. They must meet that states age requirements. And last – some states do require the gun to be formally transferred via an FFL whether resold or gifted, so check your local laws.
One commenter gave bad advice stating you must ship guns through an FFL unless the gun manufacturer sends you a shipping label. That was way off and so I provided the correct advice:
A person can use the U.S. Mail to ship a shotgun or rifle to any person as long as it is within the same state. No FFL dealer is necessary. It is always unlawful to ship a handgun to anyone through the U.S. Mail – they will only accept shotguns and rifles. However, it is lawful to ship any gun (handguns, shotguns, and rifles) through any contract carrier such as UPS or FedEx. But again, it must be to another individual within the same state. Again, no FFL dealer is required to do this.
However, in all cases when shipping out of state you must ship the firearm to an FFL dealer in the receiving state for the person to pick up. The same carrier rules apply – U.S. Mail will only accept and ship shotguns and rifles whereas contract carriers can ship handguns as well as shotguns and rifles to FFLs outside your state.
Contrary to what was said, no "gun manufacturer mailing label" is ever required to ship a gun.
joe liberal
Well said & whats worse??? it is true!!
joe liberal
I can sympthasize with your anger. But talk of cross-hairs without a political reference is just a little over the top . And just the kind of thing that make rational people carry firearms. The Hiroshima reference was a metaphor?? I guess so, or at least hope so
joe liberal
It was a reference to the wording in the 2nd "shall NOT be infringed'. Point was that it has become way too easy to become a felon ie. not making child support payments or being involved in a domestic violence case (a misdemeanor) The first has nothing to do with firearms but would remove your LEGAL ability to possess firearms in some states. And the Officer involved with the recent Supreme Court case should now be a Convicted Felon and devoid of his right to vote & right to protect himself and or family with a firearm…sucks to be him!!. Hope this explains where I was coming from.

The loop holes are starting to come out. You will never stop the wrong people from getting what they want but you will spend millions trying!

The Saranac Lake Village Board of Trustees voted 3-2 Monday night to deny a park-use request submitted by a regional farmers market cooperative.
The request was filed with the village by Richard S. Crawford, president of the Adirondack Farmers Market. The group sought to use Riverside Park on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. beginning May 31.
Vendors at the market sell a wide variety of goods, including fruit, vegetables, jewelry, and more.
Trustees Jeff Branch and John McEneany voted in favor of the request, while Allie Pelletieri and Tom Catillaz voted against it.
Mayor Clyde Rabideau cast the deciding vote, also in opposition of the resolution.
Before the meeting, Rabideau read a letter submitted to the board by Nancy Moriarty, owner of the Lake Flower Bakery, located directly across the street from Riverside Park.
The letter states that Moriarty has hosted the Tuesday market for some seven years. But this year, the farmers cooperative added a second baker to the lineup, leading Moriarty to no longer host the market.
"Having competition in my parking lot is not feasible," she wrote.
According to Rabideau, Moriarty asked the board to approve the farmers market resolution with the condition that a baker would not be allowed to sell his or her goods.
Moriarty notes she pays taxes, something a temporary vendor at a farmers market would not be required to do.
Jo Ellen Saumier attended Monday's meeting as a representative of the Adirondack Farmers Market.
"One of the sticking points that we've had in having the market in Nancy's parking lot on Tuesdays is that our policy states that our markets are open to all members," she said. "Nancy was saying no bakers on my property - which is her right to say that. That's why we decided to move."
Saumier said any condition barring a baker from participating in a market would not be supported by the cooperative.

"I tried but It just never grew on me"
I am a lifetime devotee to fantasy and sci-fi and I really wanted to like this. This book had wizards, fighters, thieves, assassins, fair maidens, and various sentient winged creatures. It had plots and plots within conspiracies within plots. It had all of the superficial elements the genre demands but somehow the whole never became any greater than the sum of these parts. There were too many characters and they were introduced too fast without sufficient background to "get to know" them. As a result, I spent the first 1/3 of the book a bit confused and I never fell in love with the characters in the way I have with other fantasy series. The narrator was pretty good but a few characters sounded annoyingly like leprechauns.
It's obvious form the other reviews that plenty of other people enjoyed this book much more than I did,but all in all it just never grew on me.
"More wise and uncommon fantasy from Abercrombie"
Red Country is an existentialist fantasy western spiked with generous helpings of true wisdom. Abercrombie touches on universal themes in uncommon, surprising, and somewhat convoluted ways. Some of them are: Can a man change? The nature of violence. The nature of redemption. Can we wipe away our pasts and start again? The list goes on and one. There is no good and evil in Abercrombie's characters, just highly flawed people managing their needs, aspirations, and weaknesses as best they can. Red Country is positively gripping and you can't help but fall in love with the characters. The settings are imaginative (and just plain neat) and the battle descriptions are rich and unpredictable. This is truly uncommon fantasy. It made me look forward to my commute.
PS. This is not orthodox fantasy. If you are looking for a chosen one and a magical sword and a quest, this may not be for you.
"annoying "Tom sawyer" element killed it for me"
Yes. Already read Ironfire, which was masterful.
Yes. Already read Ironfire, which was masterful.
The historical settings came to life for me. Ball has a rare talent for this. I am enriched for having read this. However, his descriptions in the first half of the book of the two young boys and their adventures growing up together were a bit too "Tom Sawyer-ish." These subplots seemed to go on forever and about 50% of this could have been cut out with little loss to the story. The shifts from world-altering global events to the boys trapping rats in the church basement just didn't work for me.
About 2/3 of it was very worthwhile. the rest was a bit laborious.
"Awesome story and characters. Irritating narration"
I loved the way all of the characters, motivations, and decisions operated in an ambiguous gray area where there was no such thing as a pure motivation, a good man, a heroic act, or a clean decision. The fight descriptions were top notch. I found myself emotionally invested in the characters and this book took the tedium out of my Los Angeles commute. Sometimes I'd sit in my car for ten minutes after pulling into my garage waiting for a chapter to conclude. It was that good. This is why I gave it 5 stars even though the narrator was damn irritating. The publishers really need to bring back the buy who narrated the First Law series.

Standardized exam scores are out for the state's second year testing students based on the more difficult Common Core standards, and while scores are still very low overall, city students made notable progress. NY1's Lindsey Christ filed the following report.
English and math test scores are up slightly, but still significantly, in the city for elementary- and middle-school students.
"It's a good day for the whole New York City school system," said Mayor Bill de Blasio.
Still, the percentage of students who passed the standardized exams is very low. That's because last year, the state began testing students based on much more challenging material, tied to the Common Core learning standards being adopted by most states across the country.
"I do think this is wonderful news," said Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña. "I think it could be a lot better and will be, and I promise you that."
While the mayor and chancellor celebrated the gains, they reiterated that their administration will move the city away from relying on test scores to make big decisions.
"I'll say that when the test scores are good and I'll say it when they're aren't so good. They're only one measure," de Blasio said.
The mayor noted that these scores represent a school year that he shares responsibility for with his predecessor, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who was known for placing a high value on test score-based accountability.
"We want to give credit, the credit that's due to the previous administration, for their part of the equation. That's only fair and right," de Blasio said.
De Blasio spoke at the Brooklyn Brownstone School, which saw double-digit gains, but another set of schools seeing results is Success Academy Charter Schools, which waged, and won, a high-profile battle with the mayor over real estate.
"Look, I'm happy when any of our schools do well," de Blasio said.
Students and parents can see individual test scores in the last week of August.

Known at one point as "the City in the Country," Coral Springs has become a premier South Florida community, known for its abundant parks, quality schools, numerous athletic programs, and attractive neighborhoods.
Prior to its incorporation as a City in July 1963, the area that was to become Coral Springs was acres of marshy wilderness. During the 1980s, it was one of the fastest growing cities in the nation. Coral Springs, located in the heart of South Florida, is now home to more than 132,000 people. A master planned community, the City is 24 square miles and 98 percent of the land is developed. Families find Coral Springs appealing due to its family-oriented feel, local facilities and close proximity to Fort Lauderdale and Miami.
The City's organization is run by a council-manager form of government. The City Commission, which consists of five members, is responsible for making policy, passing ordinances, authorizing appropriations, and having overall supervisory authority of the City. The Mayor performs ceremonial duties and acts as a presiding officer of the Commission. The City Manager supervises all government operations and implements the policies adopted by the Commission.
Since 1993, management has used a business model to run the City, taking customer input and data analysis into consideration as we map out the year's initiatives in our Strategic and Business Plan.
Now the recipient of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award and already a two-time Florida Governor's Sterling Award winner, Coral Springs has achieved national recognition as a leader in government quality, including Money magazine's Best Places to Live and one of the 100 Best Communities for Young People by America's Promise in 2006 and 2007.

KitchenAid Twitter Debacle – Keep This From Happening To You!
The first presidential debate of the 2012 campaign was held in Denver last night. KitchenAid accidentally chimed in with a wee bit of an off-color joke. Naturally, their quip about President Obama's deceased grandmother was none too well-received.
How can we keep social media interns and junior people from accidentally tweeting from the big important corporate account? Separate devices! One for your personal social media accounts, and another for the corporate accounts from which you've been trusted to tweet. Watch the video above, and let me know what you think in the comments below.
A few other items of note: see the jpeg below that Steve Hartman tweeted me – a huge transparent plea by an employee of KitchenAid to the media. I do not have firsthand knowledge of what happened here, but my guess is a lower level employee made the mistake, and Cynthia Soledad is working her butt off to make it better. So hats off to Cynthia for diving in.
Also, it is clear to me that, when your communications snafu reaches CNN's front page, then you really screwed up!

Honest Mistake? Or Capitalizing on Tragedy and Twitter Trending Topics?
Was this just an honest mistake? A plucky young intern that just didn't know what they were doing? Or was this an attempt to make news, to capitalize on tragedy and the resultant Twitter Trending Topic? You be the judge. I don't even know what to think anymore.
It's exceedingly hard to imagine anyone would purposely tweet this on a day like today. (For posterity's sake, there was a horrible mass shooting in Aurora CO at the premiere of the newest Batman movie).
The tweet embedded, until they delete it:
In an admittedly pointless attempt to keep this sort of thing from ever happening again, spread it around like mad on Twitter, Reddit, Facebook and LinkedIn, and make this company feel shame. And I'd like to hear what you think in the comments below? What was the true intent of the Tweeter here?
My final take: it appears to have been one big colossal mistake. Their PR is not based in the United States. While this tragedy is likely a worldwide story at this point, it's entirely possible their social media people had not heard about what happened.
For readily apparent reasons, I advise you to not ride the coattails of a Twitter Trending Topic without understanding why the term or phrase is trending. Things trend for both good and bad reasons. Once click on the trending topic "Aurora" would have shed some light on why it was trending. Sometimes it's hard not to go 500 miles an hour when using social media. My best advice is to be extremely careful with your brand, even if it takes an extra 60 seconds to do some rudimentary research.
Faith in humanity: at least partially restored. Thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Aurora, CO.

Did Miracle Whip Respond Appropriately?
For a brand like Miracle Whip, and a company like Kraft Foods, just what IS the proper response to such foul, hateful tweets?
A.) Say nothing at all. This seems to be the choice most corporations would make in this case. Very few people saw the guy's tweet. There is no point in responding.
I'm kind of liking "C" here. I have no problem with their response, and actually think it positively inures to their brand's bottom line. What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments below.
