Senator Calls 2A Supporters "Dirty…Filthy…Crazy…Vicious…Heartless…Supporters of Terrorism"

http://www.theorganicprepper.ca/senator-isadore-hall-calls-2a-supporters-dirty-filthy-crazy-vicious-heartless-supporters-of-terrorism-06272016

While we all know that the majority of the politicians in California are painfully liberal and terrified of guns and, well, you know, freedom, Senator Isadore Hall really raised (or lowered) the bar last week. He and another legislator launched an outright personal attack on a speaker from the NRA who objected to their sweeping, anti-Constitutional offerings in the wake of the attack in Orlando.

The first speaker, assembly member Evan Low, stated that "lives have been cut because of your organization."

But the next person in the video went even further.

Senator Isadore Hall, vehemently (albeit ungrammatically and rather incoherently) asserted that the representative from the National Rifle Association was personally responsible for the shootings in Orlando. He accused the representative of defending the "senseless acts of terror" that occurred and suggested that a good old-fashioned mouth-washing with soap was in order.

Listen below.

Apparently, we, the gun owners of America, make people like poor delicate Isadore feel unsafe in his own home.

Oh, Muffin. *hands Isadore a tissue*

First of all, I'm a Concealed Carry Permit holder in the state of California.

To get my permit (which honestly, I never should have needed in the first place, given my supposedly inalienable right to protect myself – but that's another argument entirely) I had to jump through a lot of hoops. Expensive, time-consuming hoops.

I took a course that included 8 hours of classroom instruction.

I took a test to assess my grasp on the rules in my state for concealed carry, gun safety, and protecting myself and my family.

I did a field assessment to prove that I had excellent marksmanship and could handle my firearm safely.

I had to get fingerprinted at the Sheriff's office.

I had to go through an interview to discuss my application.

My application was then vetted by the Department of Justice, showing that at no time in my life have I ever been convicted of a crime or been shown to be a violent person.

Then, a thorough background check was undertaken by the local Sheriff's office.

After that, I was interviewed by a detective – a lengthy interview to assess my state of mind.

My firearm was inspected and the serial number documented.

Only then did I receive my CCW permit. While I think the laws are excessive, onerous, and expensive, as a law-abiding citizen of the state (and one who doesn't want to spend time in prison on felony charges) I followed every step to the letter.

The presence of my firearm has kept my daughter and myself from becoming victims of a potential crime. (You can read about it here, if you're interested.)

And this simpering fool has the utter audacity to list off those epithets about me and people like me? Has the unmitigated gall to suggest that pro-Constitutional supporters of the Second Amendment support terror? Thinks that I am a threat to his safety?

Here's the real threat to safety.

The real threat is cry-baby liberals who are afraid of the idea of taking responsibility for their own safety. If the rules are already so onerous that it took me 6 months and hundreds of dollars to get my permit, do they honest-to-goldfish think that criminals will follow these rules?

The only people they'll be stopping are people like me.

They'll be stopping me from having the power to protect myself and my child.

They'll be stopping me from having the potential to help others.

They'll be forcing me to be a victim without a chance of survival should I find myself in a situation like the nightclub shooting.

What they're doing is drawing a line in the sand. Instead of fighting "terrorism" they are turning citizens against one another. They are trying to take our power with their ridiculous laws.

It's all psychology, really.

It's clear that these legislators are too cowardly to take gun in hand to protect their own families, and I understand that. It's a lofty responsibility. It's a responsibility not everyone chooses to take. I have no problem whatsoever if one opts to depend on the good folks at the other end of the phone when they call 911 and hope for rescue.

But in order to hide their cowardice, they want to take away my power to protect my family. It probably makes them feel better to reduce us to their fragile footing. Maybe they'd feel more like men if they were able to make laws so that I will be forced to wait for 911, too.

The California Legislature is trying to make the most sexist, anti-woman policy imaginable.

They want to take away my power and reduce me to a weaker status. They want to make it more likely that I am a victim of someone bigger, stronger, and better armed. All the while, they pretend to be pro-woman? They act as though the Democrat-run state congress wants equality for women, but the very thing that puts women on equal footing is the thing they strive to take away.

The incoherent insults, the poor grammar, and the bars of soap really don't make a point about gun owners.

The point that was made here was about the death of the legislative process, in which both sides supposedly get a voice. It endorses the idea of legislation without representation. This unprofessional attack tells you everything you need to know about the people who would make the laws. This tells you everything you need to know about our broken system of partisan grandstanding, where the majority gleefully oppresses the minority.

A suggestion for Isadore Hall

As for me, Isadore, I carry.

I carry everywhere.

I carry every day.

Maybe you feel unsafe in your own home, but I don't feel unsafe in mine.

And I have a suggestion about what you can do with that bar of soap you keep talking about.

Wimpy Journalist is Traumatized After Shooting AR-15 for the First Time

http://www.thedailysheeple.com/wimpy-journalist-is-traumatized-after-shooting-ar-15-for-the-first-time_062016

In light of the Orlando nightclub shooting, Gersh Kuntzman with the NY Daily News went to a gun range to fire an AR-15 for the very first time, and now his description of the experience has left gun owners rolling in laughter. A few choice quotes from the article include:

It felt to me like a bazooka — and sounded like a cannon…But mostly, I was just terrified…

I've shot pistols before, but never something like an AR-15. Squeeze lightly on the trigger and the resulting explosion of firepower is humbling and deafening (even with ear protection)…

The recoil bruised my shoulder. The brass shell casings disoriented me as they flew past my face. The smell of sulfur and destruction made me sick. The explosions — loud like a bomb — gave me a temporary form of PTSD. For at least an hour after firing the gun just a few times, I was anxious and irritable…

He has since apologized for likening his anxiety to PTSD, but that didn't stop gun owners from tearing into him in the comment section. In a follow-up article, he revealed that commenters started posting videos of children firing the AR-15, and having a blast. But mostly they just called him a pansy in a variety of colorful ways.

"I have never subscribed to the idea of 'gender confusion,' but after reading your article on the AR-15, I'm a believer…"

"If you have a man card turn it in immediately. You might be better served writing about feminine hygiene products!!!"

"Maybe you can get some balls through Obamacare!"

He then goes on to call the AR-15 a weapon of mass destruction, says the NRA is a bully for silencing opponents and violating their first amendment rights, and embraces being a wimp if "masculinity is defined by the power to commit violence on a wide scale"

And that's infinitely more egregious than being a sissy around guns. There's nothing inherent wrong with that, and guns aren't for everyone. But in the end, Kuntzman doesn't just reveal that he's afraid of firearms. He also has some genuinely dumb opinions on the gun debate.

Saying that the NRA is violating the free speech of their opponents is just plain laughable. Pardon the pun, but they're not putting a gun to anyone's head. And an AR-15 is definitely not a weapon of mass destruction. Not by a long shot.

And like a typical liberal, he also reveals that he doesn't have a firm grasp on the meaning of the Second Amendment. He goes on to claim that he supports the right to bear arms, but only if that right is strictly regulated, as in a "well-regulated" militia. But that term doesn't refer to regulations. It's original meaning is synonymous with "functional." The Second Amendment simply recognizes that a functional and well-trained militia, made up of the people, is necessary to our security and freedom, and that's not possible unless the people are armed with weapons that are appropriate for that task.

Listen, if you don't like the Second Amendment then that's totally fair, but if you don't know what you're talking about then maybe you don't have any business joining the debate. You have every right to of course, but you'll only sound like a fool.

What is it like to fire an AR-15? It's horrifying, menacing and very very loud

It felt to me like a bazooka — and sounded like a cannon.

One day after 49 people were killed in the Orlando shooting, I traveled to Philadelphia to better understand the firepower of military-style weapons and, hopefully, explain their appeal to gun lovers.

But mostly, I was just terrified.

Many gun shops turned down our request to fire and discuss the AR-15, a style of semi-automatic rifle popular with mass killers such as San Bernardino terrorist Syed Farook and similar in capabilities to the Sig Sauer MCX rifle used by Orlando terrorist Omar Mateen.

Killers in mass shootings used AR-15, thanks to NRA

But Frank Stelmach of Double Tap Shooting Range and Gun Shop invited me, videographer Michael Sheridan and reporter Adam Shrier to come down. Stelmach is not like many gun lovers. He admires his weaponry, yes, and has difficulty explaining why law-abiding citizens need a gun that can empty a 40-round magazine in a few seconds. But he also hates the idea that "bad people" get a hold of a gun like this and use it to kill without difficulty.

"There should be expanded background checks — extending into your family, friends and associates," he said. "And there should be a mental health screening. In Europe, if you want to buy a gun, you have to see a doctor (for a psychiatric examination) to see if something's not right."

Gersh Kuntzman works with gun ghop owner Frank Stelmach on how to handle the AR-15.

Stelmach, who opened his shop six years ago after a career in law enforcement in Europe, also said he never sells a gun to someone who "looks a little bit funny," and he claimed he had prevented many guns from getting into the wrong hands because the would-be purchaser "asked stupid questions" like, "What happens to me if the gun is stolen?"

But very few gun shop owners do anything close to Stelmach's sniff test — and he acknowledged how easy it is to find another gun shop owner willing to make the sale.

Very easy. In fact, as Philadelphia Daily News columnist Helen Ubinas showed today, you can get a military-styled weapon in seven minutes in this country.

Stelmach doesn't think it should be easy. But he thinks it should be allowed. "Guns don't kill people. The wrong people kill people," Stelmach added. "We can't blame the weapon."

Richard Cohen: American insanity: Assault rifles for all

He loves the AR-15 for cops, soldiers, hunters and target shooters. "It's fun to shoot something like that," he said.

Frank Stelmach discusses the AR-15 rifle and gun control.

Not in my hands. I've shot pistols before, but never something like an AR-15. Squeeze lightly on the trigger and the resulting explosion of firepower is humbling and deafening (even with ear protection).

The recoil bruised my shoulder, which can happen if you don't know what you're doing. The brass shell casings disoriented me as they flew past my face. The smell of sulfur and destruction made me sick. The explosions — loud like a bomb — gave me a temporary form of PTSD. For at least an hour after firing the gun just a few times, I was anxious and irritable.

Even in semi-automatic mode, it is very simple to squeeze off two dozen rounds before you even know what has happened. If illegally modified to fully automatic mode, it doesn't take any imagination to see dozens of bodies falling in front of your barrel.

All it takes is the will to do it.

Forty nine people can be gone in 60 seconds.

UPDATE: Many people have objected to my use of the term "PTSD" in the above story. The use of this term was in no way meant to conflate my very temporary anxiety with the very real condition experienced by many of our brave men and women in uniform. I regret the inarticulate use of the term to describe my in-the-moment impression of the gun's firepower, and apologize for it. I have also posted a follow up piece here.

The gun debate is also a gender war.

In all my years in journalism — coming up on 30 (thanks) — I have never received so much angry mail as I did after yesterday's story, "What is it like to fire an AR-15? It's horrifying, menacing and very very loud."

I don't mind spirited debate, but many correspondents told me that even expressing an opinion about today's high-powered weaponry is off-limits to those of us who don't own such guns.

To reiterate, the goal of the story was simply to share with readers my experience of firing an AR-15, which very few of them have done. I found the sheer power of the weapon horrifying. I found the noise deafening and anxiety provoking. I was frightened by its potential for rapid, catastrophic, Orlando-like carnage with similiar weaponry. Using an AR-15 made me irritable and jittery for hours afterwards. To me, it felt like a bazooka.

STASI: Homophobia fueled Orlando shooter's rage

"Kuntzman is an outright liar," wrote one emailer. "Nice try with an extremely stupid article which only appealed to girly boys and women of NYC and like the sheeple they are probably believed the lies." (Other writers informed me that the "lie" is that guns are bad. For the record: I never said they were.)

I certainly received many many emails from gun owners who legitimately quibbled with some of my conclusions. But the majority of email senders trained their laser sights on my masculinity — often in graphic terms that would sound more appropriate in a magazine about erectile dysfunction or an ad for Depends.

 At least 50 dead in mass shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando

"Hey there Cupcake!" wrote Gary Haney. "I have never subscribed to the idea of 'gender confusion,' but after reading your article on the AR-15, I'm a believer because there is no way you and I are the same gender. You should surrender your testicles to the Department of Girlymen. I'm not sure where it's located, but your girlfriend Barack does!"

Others sent me videos of 7-, 10- and 12-year old girls firing the same weapon I fired — except these kids were smiling. And I wear it as a point of personal pride that conservative darling Erick Erickson posted a story on The Resurgent with the headline, "My 10 Year Old Daughter Is Tougher Than Gersh Kuntzman, Author of the Stupidest Thing on the Internet Today."

"You f--king pussy," wrote Sam Markota. "If you have a man card turn it in immediately. You might be better served writing about feminine hygiene products!!!"

"Your father must have left you to be raised by your mother or he was a sissy like you," added SargentMike77.

And one of my favorites, thanks to its pithy manner of linking my affliction to another right wing obsession: "Maybe you can get some balls through Obamacare!" wrote Adam Prolo.

The nightclub attack, like so many others, was carried out with an AR-15-type rifle.
 (Chris O'Meara/AP)

And that's just the printable stuff. To summarize, this line of argument suggests that I'm not a real man because I am frightened by the awesome power of an AR-15, which, despite however you willfully misread my story, can discharge dozens of rounds in mere seconds.

Yes, this weapon scared the crap out of me. And it should scare the crap out of all of you, too. An AR-15 is a weapon of mass destruction, a tool that should only be in the hands of our soldiers and cops, as Rep. Seth Moulton wrote in the Daily News on Tuesday. I don't think there's anything unmanly about pointing out this fact.

Besides, if masculinity is defined by the power to commit violence on a wide scale, I proudly choose femininity. At one time, "being a man" meant standing up for what you believe in — and against injustice. By that definition, we need more real men in power taking on bullies like the NRA, which seeks to bolster the Second Amendment by shutting down opponents' right to the First. We can't even debate guns in this country, thanks to the gun lobby.

My email and Internet trolls won't believe me, but I support the Second Amendment. I sincerely do believe that the Bill of Rights protects Americans' right to bear arms, albeit under very strict regulations — the "well-regulated militia" part of the sacred text.

Doctor who treated Orlando victims pens poetic tribute with shoes

And I even agree with one letter writer who pointed out that hammers can kill people, too, but we don't ban them.

Orlando mourners hold a candlelight vigil for victims of Sunday's Pulse nightclub shooting.
 (James Keivom/New York Daily News)

But what if a weapons manufacturer could fashion a handgun that would fire a nuclear blast — an atomic version of an AR-15, if you will. It would look like a gun, but it could kill thousands instead of dozens. Like a rifle, it's one of many arms that we are allowed to keep and bear. But would we really stand idly by as people buy a nuclear gun in the name of the Second Amendment?

"It's just a gun," you might say. "It's my right. Trade in your man-card, you wimp."

Yes, I'm a wimp. I simpered because my experience with the AR-15 bruised me, body and spirit. But there's nothing unmanly about reminding my readers that mass murder is much easier to commit with a semi-automatic killing machine than it is with a hammer.

If that makes me a girl, well, maybe we should have a girl running the country.

In the wake of the Orlando shooting, the gun control agenda coming out of the government and media is reaching a fever pitch. You've heard of how flawed the "no-fly" list is… There are babies and eight-year-olds on that thing. How did they get there? No one is too sure, but it's all done in a secret process that the people on the list themselves are not privvy to.

Now consider the government extrajudicially canceling people's 2nd Amendment with a "no-buy" list, as advocated in a recent NYT editorial.

Via Daily Caller:

Citing the Orlando terror attack that left 50 dead including the shooter and 53 wounded at a gay nightclub, the piece advocates for a "no-buy" list similar to "no-fly" lists. Under the law, suspected terrorists would not be able to buy a gun. In an attempt to ensure the integrity of the lists and preserve due process, the author proposes people only be added to this no-buy list after a secret court rules they are ineligible, similar to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court hearings where the federal government obtains permission to wiretap. Under this proposal, an American who has never been convicted of a crime could be denied their right to buy a gun simply because a secret court decided it should be that way.

The kicker?

[Adam Winkler, a U.C.L.A. School of Law professor] argues the secret court is a good idea because the same kind of court is already used for government surveillance, and historically, the U.S. has committed worse rights violations such as Japanese internment camps.

So the logic here is:

because we're already under a police state with sweeping, unconstitutional government surveillance

and because the government has already committed worse rights violations in the past

then we should beg for an even worse police state with even more human rights violations?

Yeah. Okay. Guess that makes sense… not at all.

A + B = WTF.

P.S. – If this kind of propaganda really pisses you off, whatever you do don't go to the NYT editorial itself and read some of the inane b.s. people are writing in the comments section about "modern interpretations of the 2nd Amendment". It just might make your head explode…

A concealed carry permit holder was praised for shooting an armed robbery suspect around 5 a.m. on October 10, thereby stopping the robbery of a Waffle House in Charleston, South Carolina.

One of the uniformed officers who responded to the 911 calls said, "It says something about firearms, for good people with firearms being in the right hands."

According to The Post and Courier, police received "reports of an armed robbery and shots fired." They arrived to find "the suspect had been shot." Waffle House employees told police that an armed customer had stopped the robbery. One employee said, "He saved us, that's what he did."

The suspect was taken to Medical University Hospital in critical condition, and no other injuries were reported.

On September 27, a Waffle House in Nicholasville, Kentucky, refused to serve a uniformed National Guard soldier because he had his gun holstered in plain sight. A waitress told him he would have to leave his gun outside if he wanted service.

In the face of public outcry over the treatment of the soldier and a gun policy that keeps law-abiding citizens defenseless in the face of danger, the Nicholasville Waffle House said, "For many years, we have had a 'No Firearms' policy in place in our restaurants. We continue to believe this is the best policy for the safety of our customers and associates."

The customer in Charleston was armed, however, and intervened, which helped protect the other Waffle House customers and employees.

Court ruling makes Minnesota latest state to call BB gun 'firearm'

 Perhaps if Ralphie had been told his Red Ryder BB gun was legally considered a "firearm" in some states, he wouldn't have had to be told "you'll shoot your eye out."

It turns out the spring air action pellet gun so sought after in the holiday classic "A Christmas Story" is considered far more than a toy in the eyes of the law. Case in point: Minnesota, where the Court of Appeals ruled on Monday to uphold the conviction of David Lee Haywood for possession of a "firearm" – in this case a Walther CP99 Compact .177-caliber BB gun.

Haywood wasn't allowed to own a handgun after a 2005 felony drug conviction, so he was sent back to prison after cops found the BB gun in his glove compartment during a 2013 traffic stop. Haywood argued that a BB gun wasn't a firearm. The Minnesota statute uses the word "firearm" but never defines it, so Haywood said the accepted definition of "firearm" should apply: a weapon that features a projectile fired by gunpowder. That's far different from the operation of a BB gun, which uses no gunpowder to expel its shell.

But Haywood, 37, was sentenced to a mandatory minimum of five years because the appellate court instead used language established in 1977, when the state Supreme Court defined a BB gun as a firearm using wording plucked from the state game and fish laws. Because the state legislature has enacted other laws in the statute since that ruling 38 years ago without adding a new definition, the court's 1977 explanation has stuck. It can only be changed if the legislature decides to adopt new language or if the state Supreme Court changes the definition.

"Generally, airguns are not defined as firearms under state or federal law because of the numerous negative effects such a definition would create," NRA spokeswoman Jennifer Baker said in a statement to FoxNews.com. "In the case of state law, many states use multiple definitions of firearm, some of which may include airguns. For example, airguns will almost always be excluded from definitions governing possession, transfer and use, but may be included for criminal misuse."

State definitions vary, with New Jersey and Rhode Island using some of the strictest language, according to the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. Those states classify all non-powder guns as firearms. Illinois and Michigan treat certain non-powder guns as firearms while Connecticut, Delaware and North Dakota list them as "dangerous weapons." Thirteen states impose age restrictions on the possession, use and transfer of non-powder guns.

"Treating airguns as firearms would make teaching firearm safety to children much more difficult," Baker said, listing a litany of potential issues with designating BB guns as firearms.

Grant Gibeau, who represented Haywood, told FoxNews.com that even though the definition of a "firearm" may be arbitrary when examined state by state, it's anything but subjective when applied as a standard within the state. For instance, the court didn't take Haywood's intentions into account, nor did they care that the BB gun closely resembled a standard firearm.

"It's not a matter of the court looking at the client," said Gibeau, who's appealing Haywood's case to the Minnesota Supreme Court. "It's pretty much: 'Do you fit into this category? And if you do, the court has to do the minimum.'"

 Gun control groups accused of 'swatting' open-carry permit holders, putting lives at risk tag:12160.info,2015-09-03:2649739:Topic:1585549 2015-09-03T00:51:21.952Z PissedOff2noEnd http://12160.info/profile/H0llyw00d

 Second Amendment groups are accusing the gun control lobby of putting law-abiding owners of firearms in danger by urging people to call the police on anyone carrying a gun in public.

 Second Amendment groups are accusing the gun control lobby of putting law-abiding owners of firearms in danger by urging people to call the police on anyone carrying a gun in public.

As more states relax rules about open-carrying of guns, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence has taken to social media to urge the public to assume gun-toters are trouble, and to call the cops on anyone they feel may be a threat.

"If you see someone carrying a firearm in public—openly or concealed—and have ANY doubts about their intent, call 911 immediately and ask police to come to the scene," the group wrote on its widely followed Facebook page. "Never put your safety, or the safety of your loved ones, at the mercy of weak gun laws that arm individuals in public with little or no criminal and/or mental health screening."

That approach, according to a blog post by Ohio-based Buckeye Firearms Association, could give rise to needless, tense confrontations between police and gun owners. The association and other similar groups liken the tactic to "swatting," or the act of tricking an emergency service into dispatching responders based on a false report. Many online harassment campaigns have been known to participate in the practice.

"This practice is exactly what they [Coalition to Stop Gun Violence] are doing," said Erich Pratt, spokesman for Virginia-based Gun Owners of America. "It's one thing if someone is using a gun in an illegal or unlawful manner. No one is questioning that. But this clearly sounds like swatting."

"They are inciting their radical base to turn their own neighbors in."

– Erich Pratt, Gun Owners of America

Pratt adds that it may be a move of desperation by those looking to get guns off the streets.

"Anti-gun advocates are clearly frustrated. They want guns banned," he said. "But they have been thwarted in the past, so they are looking for alternative means.

"They are inciting their radical base to turn their own neighbors in."

It is not the first time supporters of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence and other gun control advocates have pressed for the public to call cops on legal gun owners. An October 2014 National Review article found that the Facebook pages and websites of groups including the coalition, Moms Demand Action and GunFreeZone.net included numerous comments from the public advocating that people call the police and intentionally exaggerate what they see in the hopes of getting cops to stop those open-carrying guns.

Open carry rules, in one form or another, are legal in every state except for five—California, Florida, Illinois, New York, and South Carolina, as well as the District of Columbia. However, many states that do permit open carry have put in place stringent laws that require some sort of permit or license.

The main issue that gun advocates have with the Coalition's tactics is the potential of putting law-abiding citizens in real danger. Officials for the anti-gun group say that this is not the case.

"In an era in which individuals are being allowed to carry loaded guns on our streets with no permit, background check or required training, it is common sense for concerned citizens to call 911 when they see an armed individual whose intentions are unclear," Ladd Everitt, director of communications for the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence said in a statement to FoxNews.com. "These [open carry] laws guarantee that we—and law enforcement—will have no idea about the criminal and/or mental health background of these individuals until they actually commit a crime; and by then it could be far too late. We have full confidence in our men and women in blue to assess these situations.

"Gun-toters who are truly law-abiding and mentally competent have nothing whatsoever to worry about. Their conversations with law enforcement will be brief and professional," he added. "As for those who are dangerous and have something to hide which would not withstand the scrutiny of a background check or permitting process, they should expect to face some tough questions as a result of these 911 calls. And that makes us all safer."

But the Buckeye Firearms Association believes the effort amounts to "conspiring to obstruct legal justice."

Pratt agreed, and said people who call the police without legitimate reason should be charged.

"They would likely be the ones arrested for filing a false report," he said. "And we are certainly hoping that would be the case."

 ATF Re-Classifies Certain Flares And 40mm Chalk Rounds As Explosives, Begins Confiscation tag:12160.info,2015-07-29:2649739:Topic:1578623 2015-07-29T02:29:16.756Z PissedOff2noEnd http://12160.info/profile/H0llyw00d

ATF Re-Classifies Certain Flares And 40mm Chalk Rounds As Explosives, Begins Confiscation

 The ATF is on a bit of a hit streak when it comes to random reclassifications. First they arbitrarily and capriciously changed their collective mind on the pistol stabilizing brace. Then they tried toban M855 ammunition by branding it as "armor piercing." Now it seems that they are turning their gaze upon some of the less common items and applying their similarly capricious thought processes. The latest targets are types of projectiles which can be fired from 40mm grenade launchers, specifically parachute flares and chalk practice rounds. And their ruling could soon be expanded to include all ammunition bigger than 1/2 inch in diameter . . .

A thread on ARFCOM started it all, with the OP stating that they had been contacted by the ATF to turn in their recently purchased flare rounds. It is worth noting that these rounds had been previously classified by the ATF as non-explosives, but in this world of ever-changing definitions it seems that they have reversed themselves on that take.

The logic they use to support their move (presented in a letter here and here) is that because the 40mm rounds in question are not "small arms" ammunition, the ATF can classify them as "low explosives" having no explosive properties whatsoever. This is also, of course, applicable to any ammunition with a diameter larger than 1/2 inch. That means firearms registered as a "destructive device" may soon have their own love note from the ATF classifying every round of ammo as a dangerous explosive that needs to be confiscated for the good of all humanity.

President Obama has been looking for ways to manipulate the law to harass gun owners to the maximum extent possible for years, and this appears to be another attempt at instituting new gun control laws without the messiness of going through Congress. Today's target are destructive device owners. There's no telling who will be the next target of the President's impotent rage against law-abiding citizens.

SHOOTING IN LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA THEATER LEAVES 2 VICTIMS AND GUNMAN DEAD

Tony Webster/Flickr

by AWR HAWKINS23 Jul 2015680

On July 23, a gunman allegedly opened fire at the Grand Theater in Lafayette, Louisiana, killing two and injuring six—the gunman is reportedly dead as well.

*****

UPDATE: 12:46 am EST — The Lafayette Grand Theatre is a gun-free zone, according to the "Code of Conduct" listed on the movie theater chain's website:

The "possession of firearms or weapons of any kind" are completely banned and the ban applies regardless of whether the firearm or weapon is carried "openly or concealed, with or without a permit."

*****

UPDATE: 11:16 pm EST — CNN reported the gunman used a handgun, and police know the gunman's identity but are not releasing it to protect the "integrity" of the investigation.

They report that the gunman was a 58-year-old white male and they do not have a motive.

*****

UPDATE: 11 pm EST — The Daily Advertiser confirms number of dead has risen to three. The reported number of injured has risen to seven "with injuries ranging from critical to non-life threatening."

Governor Bobby Jindal (R) commented on the attack, saying: "The best thing anybody can do right now is to think about them, pray for them, shower them with your love is the most important thing we will get through this. We will get through this. We are a resilient community. This is an awful night for Lafayette. This is an awful night for Louisiana. This is an awful night for the United States."

*****

Police report the shooting was limited to one of the movie theater rooms in the building.

The Daily Advertiser tweeted that "[Lafayette] City Marshal Brian Pope has confirmed that the shooter is dead. Six were injured." The Advertiser's Seth Dickerson tweeted that one person is confirmed dead in addition to the shooter.

The gunman allegedly opened fire around 7 pm.

According to Reuters, one witness, Katie Domingue, described the gunman as an "older white man who stood up in the theater and began shooting." Domingue said the gunman did not say a word and that she "didn't hear anybody screaming either."

The attack allegedly took place during the movie Trainwreck.

 UN Calls For RFID Chips And Biometric Tracking Of Guns And Ammo tag:12160.info,2015-07-24:2649739:Topic:1577716 2015-07-24T10:40:57.532Z PissedOff2noEnd http://12160.info/profile/H0llyw00d

At a recent meeting of government representatives of nations participating in the United Nations' Programme of Action (POA), the focus was on tracking of civilian weapons, component parts, and ammunition, and how the United States should spend more money helping foreign countries accomplish those goals.

At the Second Meeting of Governmental Experts (MGE2) held at the UN headquarters in Manhattan, the globalists discussed a couple of agenda items that should give pause to Americans.

First, the delegates at the MGE2 deliberated on how to eliminate the threat of technologically advanced weapons, including so-called polymer firearms and 3D printed guns, as well as the tracking of materials used in the "craft-production of small arms and light weapons."

Not surprisingly, the representative from China called for increased UN-mandated regulations on 3D printers and the weapons they produce.

In the Chair's Summary, the group united in a call for "strengthening 3D printing regulations in the context of 3D weapon printing," for "ensuring export licenses [are] in place for 3D printers," for drawing global attention to "the need to pay attention to the resale of such printers," and for "strengthening controls over 3D printing technology."

No one is shocked, of course, that the globalists at the UN want to draw up comprehensive plans to take guns — any and every variety of gun — out of the hands of civilians.

After discussing similar strategies to lock down the manufacture, purchase, sale, and transfer of polymer weapons and modular weapons, the next item on the MGE2 attendees' agenda warrants an immediate withdrawal of the United States from the world body.

Paragraph 33 of the Chair's Summary of the meeting calls for urgent tracking of civilian-owned firearms, recommending that manufacturers be forced by the UN to install "RFID and biometric technologies in limiting the access to the weapon to authorized users only," with authorized users defined as state actors (UN member nations).

That's right. As part of the Programme of Action (the foundation upon which the Arms Trade Treaty is built), the United States has committed to passing legislation that will require domestic firearms and ammunition manufacturers to equip their products with RFID chips and biometric technologies that will help the government slowly but surely disarm civilians.

That's not all. At the end of that paragraph, the UN suggests states (member countries) look into combining RFID chips, biometrics, with GPS tracking technologies to be sure to prevent regular people from getting their hands on guns.

Next, in the overview of the published summary of the conference, the UN looks to one source to help pay for the implementation of these new disarmament policies: increased foreign aid.

Specifically, the unelected, unaccountable UN globocrats call for greater "international cooperation and assistance" (read: American taxpayer dollars) to offset the massive cost of the "transfer of technology and knowledge" necessary to make the proposed gun grab a reality.

It should be noted that Paragraph 42 of the summary proposes funding this fascism "through the UN regular budget," 22 percent of which is paid by the United States, through a process that can be described as nothing less than legalized theft of the wealth of the American worker.

As if the point was already made, the document calls for the cultivating of a "culture of peace," which is certainly shorthand for flooding the United States with UN-created propaganda linking the civilian ownership of firearms with homicide and other violent crimes.

In the wake of the horrific Chattanooga murders, it doesn't take too much foresight to predict a panoply of renewed calls for controlling and regulating civilian access to firearms.

Finally, according to the text of the latest draft of the agreement, the POA will serve as an "international instrument to enable states to identify and trace, in a timely and reliable manner," the small arms and light weapons that are the subject of the scheme.

In practice, this means that the governments of member nations (including the United States) will soon create a massive, all-inclusive database of all parties that manufacture, own, sell, trade, or transfer arms and ammunition.

If recent history is a reliable indicator of how such data would be used, after the catalog is complete, Congress could pass a law (or the president could issue an executive order) compelling "voluntary" surrender of privately-owned weapons, ammo, parts, and components (including reloading equipment). If, after a statutorily-set window, citizens don't turn in these items to their local law enforcement, then officers will be sent to remind violators of their responsibility under the law to disarm.

Paragraph 32 of the Chair's Summary lays out the plan for "real-time tracking" of firearms and ammunition "from manufacturer to storage and from storage up to the individual users."

Once the governments of the member nations begin tracking and confiscating weapons from civilians, the Programme of Action (paragraphs 30 and 31) mandates that member governments take "direct control over transfers of small arms and light weapons."

This control will require the federal government to begin stockpiling these items and making a database of the recently impounded guns, bullets, 3D printers, plastics, polymers, and component parts.

This database must include "the marking, record-keeping and tracing of weapons, and in this regard considered barcodes, radio frequency identification (RFID) and biometrics for purposes of electronically identifying stored items, collecting data on them and enabling the data to be entered automatically into record-keeping systems."

It is evident from a reading of this latest UN disarmament publication that despite the rhetoric related to "promotion of a culture of peace," there are only two reasons the UN is making every effort to disarm the population of the United States: to weaken our sovereignty, and to take from our people their ability to resist those despots (at home and abroad) who would place us under the boot of tyranny and demote us to the ranks of slaves on a "sustainable" global plantation.

The next round of meetings for hammering out the details of the Programme of Action is scheduled for 2016. That gives Americans almost one year to convince their representatives in Congress to pass legislation defunding the UN and forcing the world-government-in-waiting to relocate to a more hospitable home.

Americans interested in joining this fight are encouraged to look into The John Birch Society (JBS). For nearly four decades, the JBS has worked to "Get US out of the UN." Therefore, the group is uniquely equipped with the resources necessary to finally achieve this urgent aim.

Newsweak (sic) hack Kurt Eichenwald is pushing the anti-Second Amendment agenda with his latest piece titled 'Americans Don't Have the Right to Bear Just Any Arms' - http://www.newsweek.com/2015/07/24/bullet-initiative-354203.html…

Newsweak (sic) hack Kurt Eichenwald is pushing the anti-Second Amendment agenda with his latest piece titled 'Americans Don't Have the Right to Bear Just Any Arms' - http://www.newsweek.com/2015/07/24/bullet-initiative-354203.html

Apparently he is yet another of these 'special people' who think that 2A was the exception to the rule in a list of INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS in that terribly confusing 'Bill Of Rights'

"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

Wow, its far too complex for me to comprehend - especially in light of those other terribly confusing amendments.

Eichewald cites 1938/39 case, United States v. Miller, in which the Supreme Court unconstitutionally reversed an AR federal district court decision to dismiss the case of Jack Miller and Frank Layton, who were accused of violating the 1934 National Firearms Act (NFA) when they transported a double barrel 12-gauge shotgun in interstate commerce.

Miller and Layton had argued (correctly) that the NFA violated their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

The whole foundation of the NFA was based on the arguement that a sawn-off shotgun was not a suitable military/miltia weapon - so the serfs couldn't posses them.

Oh, but if you pay the Fed NFA Tax, then the Govt permits you to own one.

Hold on, the Military and the Police both use short barreled shotguns (not to mention silencers and automatic weapons which are also subject to NFA regulation and taxation for private owners) - so from this simple observation its obvious the whole claimed raison d'être and justification of the NFA is proven to be void.

Eichewald thinks silencers have no practical application outside of miltary use - WTF?

I guess all those hunters and sportsman outside the US...who aren't deaf...might beg to differ.

But of course, only the special praetorian guard and those in power should have such 'rights' to posess these weapons and accessories.

He then goes on to place the usual collective blame and guilt on the American people for the actions of the insane, before breaking into the by-the-book allusions that gunowners are all extremists, criminals, wannabe rambos and mentally ill.

Amazing, isn't it - but when the PTB exercise an action - say illegal wars - that results in the deaths of thousands - that's perfectly acceptable to the MSM.

I wonder how Eichenwald would respond to being told that Americans don't have a right to just ANY free speech - come to think of it, forget it, he'd probably agree.

The man is a lost cause and actually believes in the fantasy of 'government's ability to keep citizens safe'.

Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

What a gem was released upon the internet today! This video of Bob Ross: A Walk in the Woods, was Season 1 Episode 1 of his long-running "anyone can paint" television HOWTO show.
From the sweeping theme song and fantastic opening credits, to the amazing B-9, Class M-3 General Utility Non-Theorizing Environmental Control Robot, known as Robot and played by Bob May, Lost in Space thrills me as much now as it did when I was a kid. The adventures of this Space Family Robinson have always held my attention and, I believe, the series will always hold up. I am looking forward to spending a lot of time with the 8 hours of rarely seen footage and the other obscure extras they've included!
There are so many reasons to sit down and watch this show, but at the very top of the list is Jonathan Harris' portrayal of Doctor Zachary Smith. Annoyed with everyone, including himself, Smith is the not-as-brilliant-as-he-thinks reason the family is lost. His attitude and presence are amazing. The relationship between Doctor Smith and Robot is so bewilderingly hilarious, but his friendship with young Will Robinson, played by Billy Mumy, is even more stellar, and touching. Perhaps one of the greatest characters ever on the small or large screen, Doctor Zachary Smith is the perfect anti-hero. His insults are amazing!
The rest of the cast is fantastic. The art, sets, sounds and stories are all exactly what they should be. I find Lost in Space to be such a fantastic of example of what teevee should be to me, that I was horrified by the late 90's movie remake, even with Gary Oldman playing Smith. Read the rest
Nothing will stop George R.R. Martin from completing his Game of Thrones novels. But the author and fantasy/science fiction icon will show up in the eighth epsiode of Syfy's series 'Z Nation,' which returns to TV tonight, Friday September 11, at 10 p.m. In the episode where Martin appears, he has been imprisoned by a character known as Collector, who kidnaps celebrity zombies. Collector chains George to a desk for his own nefarious purposes, but evidently none of this gets in the way of George finishing the damn books everyone wants to read so badly.
This one is open-source and royalty-free, and has the backing of Amazon, Cisco, Google, Intel, Microsoft, Mozilla and Netflix. Read the rest

Action Pro White is a worth trying formula that helps you smile confidently. Teeth whitening is integral to keeping appearances especially, if you are in the business of hospitality. With the sort of sins of eating that I have committed myself to (excessive red wine, fancy dinners), I can't say for sure if I have particular cruel to my teeth or my health or maybe both! Until 8 months back, teeth whitening sessions with my dentist were costing me not only too much money but also too much time. But with Action Pro White, I have been able to save both of them, along with the whiteness of my teeth! Find out all about it here in this review.
What Does it Do?
Action Pro White is a solution for whitening teeth at home (or anywhere without professional dentist's assistance). This allows for proper whitening of the teeth which the user can do on their own with the Action Pro White kit. It removes all stains from the teeth that are caused due to beverages, food, genetic, injuries etc. The pigments in the teeth absorb the colors which lead to staining but the bleaching agents clean out the pigments and remove stains.
What's in the Kit?
The Action Pro White kit comprises of teeth trays that you can use as per your mouth-teeth shape and size (refer to the manual for learning how to do that) and whitening solution that contains bleaching agents (not run of mill bleaching agents but ADA approved ingredients that don't affect dental health). Use Action Pro White as per the suggestion mentioned on the pack and soon, your teeth will be shining white.
You Can Try Action Pro White Here With a FREE TRIAL.
Is it Effective?
Compared to the other products available for similar services, Action Pro White is far more effective. In fact, Action Pro White is much more feasible than anything I have used for teeth whitening and gives equivalent results as the whitening treatments from my dentists.
ADA approves all those whitening products that contain carbamide peroxide which is a bleaching agent widely used in dental products.
How Does It Work?
Action Pro White is quite easy to use and the user only needs to first get the trays fixed as per the mouth shape. Then with the use of the syringes, solution can be evenly applied on the trays which are then to be stuck within the mouth for 15 minutes (maximum). After then, plain running water should be used to rinse the mouth clean and also the trays. The trays can be re-used. The process can be repeated if the user is not content with the shade for higher lightening. Try Action Pro White and gain confidence.
Comparison with others Products
I had always got my teeth whitening done from my dentist but it obviously cost a lot. I also explored other alternatives like Laser whitening and gels but they didn't work out as great as they sounded in theory. Actually, laser treatments don't have any conclusive proof and cost too much (as much as $1000!) so I ruled it out. Those Drugstore strips are affordable but not effective since they don't give an even shade to the teeth and the ingredients aren't too concentrated so I didn't use them either.
After speaking with experts and finding several studies on the matter in hand, I have come to the conclusion that these at home kits like Action Pro White are far more value for money and feasible products.
Any Side Effects?
Watch out for Gum issues as Action Pro White solution may hurt sensitive gums so apply it evenly, generously but keep the solution away from gums. If you suspect any negative change, ask your dentist and stop the application for some time.
Application Instructions
There is no daily usage requirement. Use Action Pro White when you need to whiten your teeth but do consult with your dentist about Action Pro White to avoid any gum related issues.
First, warm the trays for customized usage as stated in the manual and then use the syringes to pour the solution evenly. And then fit it inside the mouth and let the formula work on the teeth. Take out the trays within 10-15 minutes and rinse your mouth clean and cleanse and store the trays for further usage.
Does it really work?
I used Action Pro White three times before I got to my desired shade. In the first two times, I didn't feel like my teeth were getting any whiter but of course, there was a slight change of shade. But in the third time application, I could notice the difference. Yes, Action Pro White really works and is great for quick and affordable whitening.
Things you should know about it
If you are not content with the shade that you have gotten with Action Pro White first time application, you can use it again but not on the same day. Wait for a while, let your teeth relax and use the tray as stated the next day to get your desired shade. You can follow the process until you get the desired shade of whitened teeth.
- Portable option for using anywhere
- Easy to use method with customized trays option
- Affordable Teeth whitening measure (only gels need to be refilled, trays can be re-used)
- Approved for Dental use
- No side effects for the teeth or overall health
- Is easily available online
- Contain xylitol in the solution (according to studies, it keeps plaque and tooth decay at bay)
People with sensitive gum problems may feel stinging sensation while the gel is poured onto the teeth.
Where to Order?
You can place order for Action Pro White at its official website where other products are also available for purchase.
Personal Experience
Action Pro White at-home whitening method has surely helped me save a lot of money and time. I travel a lot so eating out on business dinners and business trips is a highly prevalent practice. It hasn't only affected my general health but also my dental health. Thankfully, with Action Pro White at home measure, I have found my simple method to give my teeth a bleaching touch up every time I need it right away, without all the dentist visits fuss.

This May on Shock, we're looking at remakes. We're reassessing, reviewing and reexamining what we hate about them, and even maybe what we should enjoy. Part of such is an upcoming interview with producer Brad Fuller, best known as co-founder—alongside Michael Bay and Andrew Form—of Platinum Dunes, the production company which drew horror fan ire for much of the 00s with their remakes. In the talk, Fuller looks back on the Dunes run, which of course includes the well-received Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) and the underrated Friday the 13th (2009). Discussing the latter, we turned to the long-awaited sequel, and Fuller updated us on the film and its format (not found footage), to-be-directed by David Bruckner.
"I could just say that for a long time we were stalled," Fuller tells Shock. "I think you guys reported that the movie was going to be a found footage movie and that was a road that we went down and tried to figure out. Ultimately, I think Michael, Drew and I felt that we couldn't figure that out, so we kind of jettisoned that whole notion and we had to start over. We're in the latter phases of that starting over and hopefully we're getting a script in the next month or two, and we'll go back to Crystal Lake."
It seems with the discarding of found footage, the Dunes producers also saw clearly what many want from a Friday the 13th film. "At the end of the day, those movies are so fantastic because Jason Voorhees is such a dynamic presence and people love to see him do what he does well. We hope to put Jason in a situation where he's able to do that again, and it doesn't feel like you're seeing the same thing over and over," Fuller adds.
Fuller also spoke to how fan expectations weigh on their films, and it seems the ensuing outcry over a hypothetical found footage Friday had a direct effect. "It absolutely weighs on me, and there have been many times when the fans have affected surely the way we think about, and in some cases the way we shot, some of the stories. Sometimes you have to go through a lot of bullshit in what they're saying, but very often you'll get a fan with such a great idea, or a great notion, and it's meaningful to us," Fuller says. "Listen, there was an outpouring of negative sentiment when it was revealed that Friday the 13th might have been a found footage movie. That was very clear to us that there was not a groundswell of support for that. That had tremendous amount of impact on us and only substantiated our concern about doing it as a found footage movie. Ultimately, the fact that the movie's been delayed for a long time might be a good thing, because now the movie's not going to be found footage."
Friday the 13th 2 is currently slated for a May 13th, 2016 release date.

Thank you! The plugin is working on my site :-)
Is there any chance of having a shortcode ?
Thank you! The plugin is working on my site :-)
Is there any chance of having a shortcode ?
Awesome! Thanks for your feedback!
A shortcode seems to be a great idea. Do you have anything in mind besides placing the composition in the post?
I would love it the shortcode would also work in a widget? And one of the attributes of the shortcode would be the id number of the Adobe Edge composition.
Woking great so far! Nice work... I'm new to WP and am using the Striking theme. Is there a way I can easily control the placement of the Edge Compositions on the page? Ideally I'd like to center them on the page and be able to adjust the vertical placement as well.
Tarnya's idea of a shortcode would be pretty cool but is there some html I can use on a page to position the composition without that or?
Thanks for the assist!
Hi, I have just committed an update. Shortcodes are supported now.
The following should work:
[edge_animation id="4"]
[edge_animation id="4" left="auto"]
[edge_animation id="4" left="10" top="20"]
If you want to use shortcodes in widgets, go to the Edge Suite settings page and enable "use shortcodes in widgets".
Let me know if that works out for you, then I would include it into documentation.
Thanks for the suggestions, I thinks that's a really nice feature.
Hi Timm,
I'm still trying this out. Is there something I would need to do to be able to use the shortcodes above in the html area of a page editor? I'm guessing that I'd change the id to match the series of numbers assigned in the Edge Suite drop down list also. Is that correct?
Do I need to add something to the theme's functions.php file or? Sorry for being a bit lost here....
Hi ti2m thank you so much! Have you got a donate button on your blog somewhere?
Hi Stephen we will need the update to the plugin which ti2m has added but is not showing yet on the wordpress plugin page yet. The current version is still the one we have 0.3. We will need to wait for 0.4 or 0.3.1 - the update might have to reviewed I guess and might take some time.
Hello Tarnya,
Although the revision number has not changed, the code was updated and the feature was added... I just have not figured out yet how to use it properly to adjust where the animation gets positioned. Do you understand how to implement the shortcodes as Timm has outlined?
Hi there,
yes, i have just updated the code, not the version number. Will do that when it seems to work all right. Have to think about version numbers as I don't want to change it with every little addition.
Stephen, you are right, use the id that shows up in the drop down and use it in the shortcode. That should work. With the two attributes "left" and "top" you can set the margin of the stage div. Just use numbers which will convert to pixel, or use "auto" for centering horizontally.
Otherwise let me know what's unclear.
Figured it out....
Everything is golden. Great Job Timm!!!!
Just noticed something you might want to know about. When I add some other shortcodes to a page (depending on what they are) I get the following error:
Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed in /home/content/59/9926959/html/wp-content/plugins/edge-suite/edge-suite.php on line 204
This appears if I use the preview window after selecting a shortcode before actually inserting the shortcode. Just fyi.
It seems like the site works though...hope this helps!
Tried some more tests placing the Edge Animation on a page created using the portfolio shortcode from the Striking Template. There seems to be a conflict that prevents the portfolio from completing and where the images should load into there are icons with spinning arrows.
If you like I can try more things to give you feedback, just let me know. Glad to help if I can.
thanks for the detailed testing, really appreciate it. I fixed the "implode" error message (new commit, still same version number). Can I take a look at the striking theme with portfolio + the edge animation somewhere? I guess we will get that a lot in the future, Edge conflicting with other JS scripts. Does the FF/chrome developer tools console say anything about JS errors? Is it just not working with "shortcode" animations or does it crash with the animation being in the header as well? Trying to figure out if this is a shortcode problem or a general JS issue.
Hi Tim,
The preview works great now and the confilct seems to have gone away. I will try different options for the portfolio shortcode and let you know how things go but at the moment things seem to be working. I've set up a test page so you can take a look with one of the Adobe animations and portfolio working together. You can see it here: http://waskul.tv/?page_id=197&preview=true
Right now I only have 5 test videos in the portfolio (all under the NAB 2012 channel) and I'm working on an animation for the home page to replace a video place holder there etc. (you can link to the home page etc from the test). When I'm further along witht the site I'd welcome any suggestions:-) Ultimately the site will host hundreds of videos and I'll have to add additional channels for them etc.
Thanks for testing. Looks good.
Let me know if you are interested in data injection. Means you can use the same animation with some content e.g. text depending on the page that you are on. I used to do this in flash with xml files. Now you can just use a bit of JS and you can use wordpress data like the title of the post within an animation. But as that's a different topic I'll close the issue as shortcodes seem to work now.
Hi Timm,
Yes this would be very helpful. Please let me know if you do this!
Thanks again for your great work on this!
This topic has been closed to new replies.

I am very new to this and advice would be appreciated.
I have a website that currently ranks well with google.
I am changing content providers and all of the current pages have a .htm extension.
I have written new code with the same page names except they have a .php file extension, I did this to have includes before I realized that you can parse .htm files to php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm
Since i am not using a database and using php only for includes. also from some things that i have read, google likes .htm over php my questions are.
1. should i mod_rewrite or parse?
2. If i do parse can i just change the file extensions of the current .php pages to .htm
3. and the old content provider/cms had every page off of the main directory www.site.com/page.htm , I would like to have subdirectories for pages, do i have to have a laundry list in the .htaccess for every page.
4. and would those redirects only be needed until search engines re-index?
I hope these are not stupid questions.

Music in West Africa: Experiencing Music, Expressing Culture / Edition 1by Ruth M. Stone

Music in West Africa is one of several case-study volumes that can be used along with Thinking Musically, the core book in the Global Music Series. Thinking Musically incorporates music from many diverse cultures and establishes the framework for exploring the practice of music around the world. It sets the stage for an array of case-study volumes, each of which focuses on a single area of the world. Each case study uses the contemporary musical situation as a point of departure, covering historical information and traditions as they relate to the present. Visit www.oup.com/us/globalmusic for a list of case studies in the Global Music Series. The website also includes instructional materials to accompany each study.
Music in West Africa presents fundamental style concepts of West African music using a focused case study of performance in Liberia, West Africa, among the Kpelle people. The book discusses the diversity, motifs, and structure of West African music within the larger patterns of the region's culture, highlighting those aspects of Kpelle music that are common to many other West African traditions. It also describes how music and dance in West Africa are tied to the fabric of everyday social and political life.
Kpelle musicians value musical performance where multiple performers each contribute aspects of sound that fit together in elaborate ways. Drawing upon her extensive fieldwork and research, author Ruth Stonewho was raised in the Bong County region of Liberiacenters on key stylistic elements that Kpelle performers articulate and emphasize: faceting or breaking music into smaller parts, layering tone colors, part-counterpart relationships in musical structures, and time and polyrhythm. She explores fascinating parallels to these analytic themes in the textiles and masks of related arts and in broader cultural practices such as greeting sequences.
Music in West Africa is enhanced by eyewitness accounts of local performances, interviews with key performers, and vivid illustrations. Packaged with a 70-minute CD containing examples of the music discussed in the book, it features guided listening and hands-on activities that encourage readers to engage actively and critically with the music.

Trying to use this book for a college level course was nearly completely useless. Attempting to write a paper discussing faceting for example is extremely difficult when the author gives vague definitions. Most of the book is filled with information seemingly unrelated in any way to the topic, such as talking about the African people hunting for catfish. While I understand the author's field work was very fascinating and she clearly enjoyed her research, this book is extremely difficult to work with. I would recommend another book, at this point pretty much any. Studying for this final exam trying to use this book is completely aggravating.
