Company's Cup Of Tea Is Replacement
By JILL KEECH Daily Press
January 15, 1992
Q: How do I go about replacing a teacup broken over the holidays? It was purchased several years ago at an estate sale in Pennsylvania, and each piece is stamped "Rosenthal" and "Pompadour." Many pieces also have "Beatrice" and a gold number on them. S.L.H., Grafton A: I checked with one of the well-known companies in the business of completing sets such as yours. This is Replacements Inc. out of Greensboro, with 1.4 million pieces of inventory that sales and marketing director Lea Ann Mills says includes china, crystal and flatware.

Year In Review: National Sports: Rest Of The Best
By SONNY DEARTH Daily Press
December 29, 1996
6. HOLYFIELD BEATS TYSON. Few people gave a 34-year-old of questionable health a chance to beat "Iron Mike." But Evander Holyfield - whose history of heart problems made it iffy that he ever would return to the ring - gave boxing a much-needed boost with his 11th-round technical knockout of Mike Tyson. 7. DALLAS COWBOYS. The Dallas Cowboys gave their fans plenty of thrills by winning the Super Bowl early in 1996, then gave their detractors plenty of thrills by getting in trouble on and off the field.

Arrogance Is Part, Parcel Of Cowboys
By DAVID TEEL Daily Press
April 10, 1996
America's Team. The label has never been about the Dallas Cowboys' virtues. It has always been about their arrogance. The arrogance to place themselves on a pedestal, the arrogance to believe their warts don't show. Their motive, of course, is pure. They want to cash in on their championships. And cash in they have, courtesy of the gullible sporting public. But teetering on a pedestal eventually leads to embarrassing falls, and the Cowboys' latest has been a doozy. All-Pro receiver Michael Irvin is the culprit.
Letters To Sports
February 11, 1996
FAN SHOULD NOTE REDSKINS' FLAWS TOO Recent letters to the editor by David Hartman have personified sports illiteracy, moronic plague and the malady of being jealousy-impaired and have reached epidemic proportions regarding Cowboy haters. Whether it is an individual such as Rush Limbaugh or an organization such as the Dallas Cowboys; when you are great, people will hate you. If you are average no one hates you. As the term of endearment "America's Team" implies, there are many more people throughout this country (world for that matter)

Day's team is one of the strongest in the league. He was an assistant coach for two years and moved up to coach last season. "Clarence Dillinger turned over the team to me after last year," he says.

National League Most Valuable Player - Who You Got?
National League Most Valuable Player - Who You Got?
As we approach the All-Star break, I'll be doing a couple articles on who should be winning the awards as of the half-way mark. We'll start with the National League Most Valuable Players. In the next couple of days, I'll post the American League MVP, National League Cy Young, and American League Cy Young. I know what you're thinking – what about the Rookie of the Year awards, Andy? I'll do that now – Washington Nationals Bryce Harper and Los Angeles Angels Mike Trout.
I think the NL vote for MVP is pretty clear right now, but the top guy has some company. Here they are in order of how I would vote…you know, if anyone gave me a vote.
(all statistics are through July 4, 2012)
Joey Votto, First Base, Cincinnati Reds
Those statistics alone are what I like to call phenomenal. Let's break those down and then we can talk about the advanced statistics that matter more in these races. Votto is hitting .350 which is phenomenal, but he has an on-base percentage of nearly .500! He isn't hitting a ton of homeruns (he never has), but he's only six doubles shy of matching his total from last season. He's on pace to hit about 68 doubles…that would be a record!
In addition to the traditional statistics, Joey has an OPS+ of 189 and WAR of 4.3. He's having one of the best (non-steroid) seasons in recent memory and is probably a lock to win the trophy if he can stay healthy for the rest of the season and keep some semblence of this up.
David Wright, Third Base, New York Mets
Wright is only 29 years old and he seems to be coming into his own and rounding back into the look he had from 2007-2009. The New York Mets are a good baseball team that's contending for a playoff spot and David Wright is leading the way at the plate. If he can stay healthy and keep delivering big hits that get the Mets wins, he'll give Votto a serious run for his money.
I usually put a lot more stock into advanced statistics, specifically OPS+ and WAR and if you do that here, you could make the case that I have Wright and Votto out of order. Wright has an OPS+ of 176 and a WAR of 4.4. That puts him on the same level as Votto and he's got a little more to do with his teams winning ways.
Andrew McCutchen, Center Field, Pittsburgh Pirates
McCutchen has something that the other two gentlemen don't have. A first place baseball team. The only knock I have on McCutchen, before I tell you why I'm in love with him, is that he doesn't walk enough. He does steal bases, get extra base hits (37/105 of his hits, to be exact) and he's only 25. It's been a long time since I've liked a ball player this much…sorry to Harper and Trout, but they haven't proven anything to me yet.
McCutchen's OPS+ of 181 and WAR of 4.0 makes him just as loveable as Wright and Votto, too. If McCutchen can lead his Pirates to the playoffs and maintain this level of production, this MVP race could get even more heated.
Tune in tomorrow for the American League MVP race!

Khan needs to get rid of Roach...
His defence is worse than it was 3 years ago. His chin isn't the problem here. Sure it's not great, but his defence is non-existent.
Khan was busting Garcia up, but he was jumping in with his punches, which left him open to counters and looping right hands. A fighter with a great jab and reach like Khan doesn't need to jump in. He should be using his jab and setting up the right hand. And he certainly doesn't trade with a capable puncher like Garcia
The worst thing is that with the right game plan, Khan beats Garcia up like he did for 3 rounds, and stops him around the 8th. There was no need for him to lose to Garcia. It's all about tactics and Roach isn't getting them right any more. I had a bad feeling from the opening bell because Khan was jumping in and trading. I don't know, maybe his illness is catching up with him and he just can't seem to spot his fighters weaknesses any more. Any body with a brain could see Khan was fighting the wrong fight.
Khan needs Emmanuel Steward immediately.

The punches that dropped Khan didnt even land flush. One was on the neck and the other grazed the top of his scalp. Has nothing to do with roach. Khan just isnt able to take a punch.

I have to disagree. Khan firstly has a good chin, which I agree on with you.
But it was his attitude that lost him it. He tagged Garcia so much early on that he thought it won't be long before he's out of there. So he went for it and it backfired.
He could have stayed on his jab all night (especially after the cut and let it worsen before opening up more) and outboxed him for 12. But he let the moment get to him. I don't know what Roach said in the corner. Maybe he advised against it. But if not then Roach is much to blame too.

i have also felt that roach has done nothing for khan and i also feel like khans defense is worst than pre roach the only difference in my oppinion has only been the shape that amir has been in since being roach. danny garcia in my oppinion was landing some good shots in all 4 rounds but it may had been hard to tell because the hbo cast was on the amir bandwagon

A coach can only do so much for you. Roach is overrated, but fingers need to stop being pointed at coaches for everything. Khan just can't take a punch. That was his 6th, 7th, and 8th knock down of his career tonight.
Drizlane knocked him down once
Limond knocked him down once
Gomez knocked him down once
Prescott knocked him down twice
Garcia knocked him down three times
Guess what, Roach was not his trainer for either of those fights against Drizlane, Limond, Gomez, or Prescott. It was only for Garcia out of those 5 fights. Once people stop seeing Roach as some magician who can turn a normal fighter in to an ATG, you would understand Roach's success is all about matchmaking, not how good he is or how good his fighters are.

Islamic State fighters massacre as many as 700 Syrian tribesmen, activists report
BEIRUT — The extremist Islamic State shot and beheaded hundreds of tribesmen from eastern Syria in the past two weeks, crushing an uprising they led against the jihadi fighters, activists said on Monday.
The killing of members of the Shueitat tribe happened as Islamic State fighters close in on the last government-held army base in the region. Syrian warplanes bombed the extremists' positions in an attempt to halt their advance.
A Turkey-based activist, who is originally from Deir el-Zour and is in contact with people in the province, said the Islamic State killed as many as 200 members of the Shueitat tribe. On Saturday, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights put the death toll among the tribesmen at 700.
The activist spoke on condition of anonymity for fear that family members in Syria might be harmed.
Last week, Islamic State fighters crushed the Shueitat tribal uprising against their rule in eastern Syria during three days of clashes near the border with Iraq. Tribesmen expelled the jihadi fighters from the villages of Kishkiyeh, Abu Hamam and Granij earlier this month before the Islamic State began a counteroffensive that killed dozens, activists said.
"They considered all members of the Shueitat tribe apostates because they rose against them," the activist said. "Some men were taken out in the fields and beheaded while others were shot in the head."
The Islamic State has declared a self-styled caliphate in territory it controls straddling the Iraq-Syria border, imposing a harsh interpretation of Islamic law. They have killed hundreds of people in both countries in the past two months, including some whose heads were later displayed in a public square in the northern Syrian city of Raqqa.
Last month, the jihadis overran the sprawling Division 17 military base in Raqqa province, killing at least 85 soldiers. Two weeks later, Islamic State fighters seized the nearby Brigade 93 base.
They are closing in on the Tabqa air base, the last position held by Syrian government troops in Raqqa province.

Do you wear leggings without panties? Under a dress, or on plain view? Did anyone look at you like it was slutty?
JanieNudiePants 31-35, F 6 Answers 2 Feb 12, 2013
I love wearing leggings with no panties so much fun
Best Answer
I didn't, but I like the idea on girls.

When it's under a dress it seems too hard to notice, so it doesn't seem slutty.

On plain view it might be a bit much, so yeah, I might see it as slutty -- but that doesn't mean I don't like it. I'd still enjoy the view.
Best Answer
I would consider that slútty if worn in plain view. Leaves far too little to the imagination.
Best Answer
Being a guy, I don't do this much. But I sure like the look on others! "Slutty"? I don't think about that much.

Added some hamburger meat to this excellent dish to make it a one and done meal.
I will not make this again. I didn't like the chunks of tomato and it REALLY tasted like cream cheese. The cream cheese didn't meld at all. I'll try another recipe next time.

Tiny Menu is A favorite add-on Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I pack many icons on the Firefox menu bar and tool bar. Tiny Menu frees up a lot of space on the menu bar by replacing the text labeled menus "Menu File Edit View History Bookmarks Tools Help" with a single menu icon. Clicking the Tiny Menu icon provides easy access to the eight menus it replaces. Tiny Menu is fully configurable, so if you just can't live without one or more of the text labeled menus, you can leave them active.
My only problem is Tiny Menu version 2.02 is not compatible with Firefox 4.01 Beta 1. I changed the em:maxVersion to 4.1.* in the install.rdf file and was able to install and configure Tiny Menu, but the Tiny Menu icon doesn't appear on the Menu Bar, an it doesn't remove the text labeled menus.
I eagerly await the next version of Tiny Menu. My new Firefox (4.0) just isn't complete without it. Thanks Tony for your efforts producing and maintaining this add-on.

More On Illinois Department Of Natural Resources Wingshooting Clinics In 2015
Tonight, I'm going to be revisiting two subjects from earlier this week. The first is the Illinois Department of Natural Resources Wingshooting Clinics this year. The Illinois Government News Network page on the State of Illinois ran the following last Thursday about the IDNR-sponsored classes. From a February 13 press release:
IDNR Announces 2015 Wingshooting Clinic Schedule
Thirty-two clinics scheduled statewide for beginning and experienced shooters
SRINGFIELD, IL – The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), collaborating with many partners and co-sponsors, will be holding 32 wingshooting clinics at sites throughout Illinois from March through early November this year. Most clinics are conducted on weekends.
Many of the 2015 wingshooting clinics will be conducted at IDNR sites, while a number will be held at cooperating gun clubs and shooting ranges, hunting preserves, and farms.
Youth/Women's Wingshooting Clinics are about learning to safely shoot a shotgun at a moving target with reasonable reliability. Girls and boys typically in the 10-15 age group – and women of all ages – are eligible to participate. Each youth/women's clinic starts with a morning shotgun safety presentation, followed by a brief small group hands-on shotgun orientation session with each group's wingshooting instructor. After a lunch break, students spend the afternoon in the field shooting flying clay targets on presentations designed for beginning and novice shooters. Not only do the students learn to safely handle and fire a shotgun, but they learn that being skilled at shooting clay targets is a lot of fun. Most youth/women's clinics are provided at no cost to participants. A few have a nominal – typically $10 – registration fee. Shotguns, shot shells, and clay targets are provided for shooting students, as is lunch at many clinic sites.
Hunter Wingshooting Clinics are hands-on, and include extensive live fire at a variety of clay target presentations on sporting clays courses specifically designed for teaching typical hunting situations. From ducks and doves to pheasants, quail and rabbits, hunters will find clay target presentations that resemble their favorite, as well as their most troublesome shots. Hunter wingshooting clinics consist of two wingshooting sessions each day.
A short briefing about shotgun safety and handling and on-range safety occurs during the first 15 minutes of each four-hour shooting session. The clinics are designed primarily to improve the wingshooting skills of hunters. However, these wingshooting clinics are not limited to hunters. Anyone from 16 years of age on up with beginning to advanced wingshooting skills who wants to improve their shotgun shooting skills can attend. The fee to participate is either $30 or $35 per participant, depending on the clinic.
Clinics are taught by instructors certified by the IDNR. Many clinic instructors also have a National Sporting Clays Association (NSCA) instructor certification. The participant-to-instructor ratio is usually four to one. Participants are typically grouped with other shooters with similar shooting ability.
There are also a few special wingshooting clinics/activities on the schedule. The IDNR's Becoming an Outdoors Woman (BOW) program offers shotgun shooting classes as part of an extensive outdoor skills program. These classes, taught by IDNR Wingshooting Instructors, are among the most popular classes among BOW participants. During the National Hunting and Fishing Days activities at Silver Springs State Fish and Wildlife Area in September, the opportunity to shoot flying clay targets is available under the supervision of IDNR Hunter Safety Instructors. The 'Healing Outside Of A Hospital' (HOOAH) program provides sporting clays shooting under the supervision of IDNR Wingshooting Instructors to active duty military personnel recovering from injuries, and disabled veterans.
To view the 2015 IDNR Wingshooting Clinic schedule, and register for a clinic, check the IDNR website at this link: http://dnr.state.il.us/lands/landmgt/programs/wingshooting/WingshootingDates.htm
Thought I'd share the above as it's quite a bit more information than what I provided yesterday.

Illinois Department Of Natural Resources Announces 2015 Wingshooting Clinics
When the "balloon goes up," no doubt there will be people who turn to upland game (bird) hunting to put food on the table- if they aren't doing so already. And here in the state of Illinois, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources sponsors training for residents to develop this potentially-lifesaving skill (in addition to firearm/hunter safety). From the IDNR website:
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) working with a variety of partners, sponsors wingshooting clinics at sites geographically distributed throughout Illinois. Two types of clinics are offered. Youth/Women's clinics are designed to teach participants basic firearm and hunter safety, wingshooting fundamentals, as well as practical wingshooting. Hunters clinics are designed to enhance the wingshooting skills of hunters and impart sound wingshooting practice techniques. The clinics are conducted on weekends during the spring through early fall of each year…

Yesterday I learned that the IDNR has released information about this year's clinics. There will be 32 clinics in the state starting March 7 (2 events are already full).
The state agency is maintaining a wingshooting clinic schedule on its website, which you can view here.

Illinois Governor Pushes Ban On 'Assault Weapons,' 'High-Capacity' Ammo Magazines
As Democratic lawmakers can't figure out why shootings and murders have erupted with renewed vigor in Chicago this summer (hints: bare-bones Chicago Police Department, gun-related laws already on the books but not enforced, and shooters not going to jail or for too short a stint), they've resorted to pushing more gun "control" laws on law-abiding constituents who have had nothing to do with the outbreak in violence. From a press release on the Illinois Government News Network website Sunday:
Governor Quinn Fights for Stronger Gun Laws Across Illinois
Congresswoman Kelly Joins Governor to Urge General Assembly to Pass Illinois Public Safety Act and Take a Stand Against the Violence
CHICAGO – Governor Pat Quinn, joined by Congresswoman Robin Kelly, today visited the site a recent fatal shooting in Chicago's Morgan Park neighborhood to urge legislators to stand with families and communities and take action against gun violence. The Governor pushed passage of the Illinois Public Safety Act, legislation that would ban the sale or delivery of assault weapons and high capacity ammunition magazines in Illinois and require background checks for the transfer of guns. Today's action is part of Governor Quinn's agenda to make Illinois neighborhoods safer.
"The recent epidemic of violence in Chicago is unacceptable and we must join together to fight back," Governor Quinn said. "Public safety is government's foremost mission and Illinois should not wait any longer to act. There are too many victims of a war being waged on our streets, a war fueled in part by the availability of deadly, military-style assault weapons that have no purpose other than killing.
"We must work together to protect the lives of those we love and stop what's happening in our communities. I urge the Illinois General Assembly to take a stand and pass this legislation that will save lives and protect communities."
The Governor today was joined by Congresswoman Robin Kelly who recently released the Kelly Report on Gun Violence in America, the first-ever Congressional analysis of the nation's gun violence epidemic that offers a blueprint for ending the crisis.
Senate Bill 3659 – the Illinois Public Safety Act – was introduced during the recent spring Legislative session by State Senator Dan Kotowski (D-Park Ridge) and supported by Governor Quinn. It bans the possession, delivery, sale and purchase of assault weapons, large capacity ammunition feeding devices such as magazines or clips, and .50 caliber rifles and cartridges in Illinois. Valid Firearms Owners Identification Card (FOID) holders who possess any of these devices at the time the law is enacted would be allowed to keep them, but could not transfer or sell them except to a family member. The legislation also requires background checks for the transfer of firearms except to a family member or at a gun show…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
Of course, the bad guys won't obey what's stipulated in the Illinois Public Safety Act if it becomes law. But here's what's really messed-up about the bans the Democrats are pushing.
According to Federal Bureau of Investigation statistics, so-called "assault weapons" and .50 caliber rifles are rarely used in crimes- particularly murders- around the state of Illinois.
From Table 20, "Murder by State, Types of Weapons, 2012" on the FBI's "Crime in the U.S. 2012" web page (last year I could find pertinent data available for):
Illinois ("limited supplemental homicide data were received")
Total murders ("Total number of murders for which supplemental homicide data were received"): 509
Total firearms: 439
• Handguns: 429
• Rifles: 4
• Shotguns: 2
• Firearms (type unknown): 4
439 firearm-related murders in Illinois in 2012. With a rifle (type unknown) definitely used in only 4 of those homicides.
Ban "assault weapons" and .50 caliber rifles. Yeah, that will solve the rampant violence.
Something tells me these Democratic politicians are trying to dupe voters into thinking they can end the ongoing carnage in this election year with such legislation.
Not going to happen, as the so-called Illinois Public Safety Act doesn't even come close to getting to the root of the problem.
See "hints" above.
You can read that entire press release on the IGNN website here. And that 2012 FBI report table here.

Chicago To Be Sued For De Facto Gun Store Ban?
Survival And Prosperity readers outside the Chicagoland area may have heard that the City of Chicago just recently approved commercial gun sales within its city limits.
Mind you, this wasn't done willingly.
From a June 25 press release from Mayor Rahm Emanuel's office:
Due to the fact that a federal court has ordered the City of Chicago to allow commercial gun sales, the City drafted one of the toughest, smartest licensing laws in the country.
In order to operate with a city license, gun stores will be required to take a number of steps that are proven to minimize gun trafficking, illegal gun sales and theft including:
• Employee background checks and state-of-the-art training
• Anti-theft safety plans and quarterly inventory audits
• Video cameras to record the point of sale
• Maintain a log of all guns sales where the gun was later recovered in a crime and traced back to the store
• Sell only one handgun per month per buyer
• Make store records available to police for inspection at all reasonable times
• 72-hour waiting period to purchase handguns, and a 24-hour waiting period to purchase rifles and shotguns…
Of course, left out of the press release is any prospective gun shops would only be permitted to operate in less than one-half percent of the city. Fran Spielman reported on the Chicago Sun-Times website last Wednesday:
Special-use zoning would keep gun stores out of 99.5 percent of Chicago and at least 500 feet away from all schools and parks…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
Critics are adamant that when all of the above is taken into consideration, a de factor ban on gun shops in Chicago exists. Spielman added:
Richard Pearson, executive director of the Illinois State Rifle Association, has accused Emanuel of making the ordinance so restrictive, it will "make sure there are no gun shops" in Chicago.
"The license is $3,800. Your business transactions are videotaped. The costs are so high, nobody can possibly make a living doing that, so no one is going to do it," Pearson said…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
So should Mayor Emanuel and the City of Chicago expect to be slapped with yet another lawsuit related to gun rights?
The Associated Press reported last Friday:
Richard Pearson of the Illinois State Rifle Association says the ordinance is so restrictive it amounts to a ban, and will likely be challenged in court.
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
Chicagoans, get ready to bust out your wallets yet again.
And in case anyone's interested, that press release (pdf format) is located here on the City website.

Gun Registration Often Leads To Confiscation, As New Yorkers Find Out Once More
"Why Gun Rights Advocates Oppose Gun Registration
A centralized registration system is the one usually proposed by gun control activists, and it is the type most feared by gun rights advocates. At the heart of resistance to registration is the belief that it encourages firearm prohibitions and ultimately leads to confiscation. (It is also why many choose not to comply and register weapons already owned.)
Those who favor more gun control often accuse gun owners of being paranoid, but the track record of firearms registration is not a good one."
-GunCite.com, popular firearms information website, August 24, 2007
Supporters of more gun "control" in the United States routinely push for the registration of firearms.
And, "Don't worry," they like to say, "No one is going to take away your guns."
Problem is, history repeatedly shows otherwise.
I blogged backed on January 14, 2013:
Gun registration often leads to confiscation. From the latest edition of Gun Facts, a popular firearm reference book:
Myth: Registration does not lead to confiscation
Fact: It did in Canada. The handgun registration law of 1934 was the source used to identify and confiscate (without compensation) over half of the registered handguns in 2001.
Fact: It did in Germany. The (before the Nazis came into power) required all firearms to be registered. When Hitler came into power, the existing lists were used for confiscating weapons.
Fact: It did in Australia. In 1996, the Australian government confiscated over 660,000 previously legal weapons from their citizens.
Fact: It did in California. The 1989 Roberti-Roos Assault Weapons Control Act required registration. Due to shifting definitions of "assault weapons," many legal firearms are now being confiscated by the California government.
Fact: It did in New York City. In 1967, New York City passed an ordinance requiring a citizen to obtain a permit to own a rifle or shotgun, which would then be registered. In 1991, the city passed a ban on the private possession of some semi-automatic rifles and shotguns, and "registered" owners were told that those firearms had to be surrendered, rendered inoperable, or taken out of the city.
Fact: It did in Bermuda, Cuba, Greece, Ireland, Jamaica, and Soviet Georgia as well.
Now, you can add the "Big Apple" to that list for a second time. Edmund DeMarche reported on the FOX News website earlier today:
The New York City Police Department is taking aim at owners of shotguns and rifles capable of holding more than five rounds, demanding such guns be surrendered, altered or taken out of the city.
The demand came in the form of some 500 letters mailed out to owners of registered long guns that are in violation of a 2010 city ordinance. The first option for the letter's recipient is to, "Immediately surrender your Rifle and/or Shotgun to your local police precinct, and notify this office of the invoice number. The firearm may be sold or permanently removed from the City of New York thereafter."
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
"Surrendered, altered or taken out of the city."
Sound familiar?
"Question: Why is it, every time I buy and register a gun in New York City, it gets confiscated?
Man, funk dat!"

Illinois State Police Gun Ranges Open To Deer Hunters November 16 For Test-Firing Shotguns
Illinois readers looking to test fire their shotguns for the upcoming deer hunting season may be interested in the following press release from the Illinois State Police yesterday. From their website:
SPRINGFIELD, IL – The Illinois State Police (ISP) announced today its firing ranges will be open on November 16 to deer hunters for sighting in and test-firing their shotguns in a safe environment for the upcoming deer hunting season.
"The Open Range Program is offered in an effort to promote hunting safety by giving hunters access to ISP ranges for the purpose of sighting in their shotguns," said ISP Director Hiram Grau. "This will provide an opportunity for shotguns to be checked in a controlled environment, with firearms experts present, ensuring the safe and appropriate use of the shotgun," he added.
The Open Range Program is a collaborative effort organized every year by the Illinois State Police and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR).
"This is a great program for hunters to make sure their equipment is in proper working order before going afield. I appreciate the Illinois State Police and their commitment to promote the safety of our sportsmen and women in Illinois," said IDNR Director Marc Miller.
The public is asked to call one of the ranges listed below before the scheduled date to make a reservation. Targets will be provided, and there is no charge for use of the range. Participants must possess a valid Firearm Owner's Identification (FOID) card, provide their own ammunition and transport the firearm legally by having it unloaded and enclosed in a case. The Open Range Program is not part of the Concealed Carry License program. Handguns will not be permitted at the ISP Ranges.
The following ISP Ranges will be open to the public from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on November 16, in Joliet, LaSalle, Macomb, Pawnee, and Pittsfield…

White House 'Fact Sheet' On New Gun 'Control' Initiatives
"You never want a serious crisis to go to waste."
-Rahm Emanuel, then-chief of staff for then-President-elect Barack Obama, Wall Street Journal CEO Council, November 19, 2008
While many Americans are distracted by the possibility of American military intervention in Syria, U.S. President Barack Obama has announced new gun "control" initiatives. From the White House website today:
FACT SHEET: New Executive Actions to Reduce Gun Violence
Today, the Obama administration announced two new common-sense executive actions to keep the most dangerous firearms out of the wrong hands and ban almost all re-imports of military surplus firearms to private entities. These executive actions build on the 23 executive actions that the Vice President recommended as part of the comprehensive gun violence reduction plan and the President unveiled on January 16, 2013.
Even as Congress fails to act on common-sense proposals, like expanding criminal background checks and making gun trafficking a federal crime, the President and Vice President remain committed to using all the tools in their power to make progress toward reducing gun violence.
Building on the 23 Executive Actions the President and Vice President Unveiled Last January
• Last December, the President asked the Vice President to develop a series of recommendations to reduce gun violence. On January 16, 2013, they released these proposals, including 23 executive actions. With the first Senate confirmation of an ATF Director on July 31, 2013, the Administration has completed or made significant progress on 22 of the 23 executive actions. The new executive actions unveiled today build on this successful effort.
Closing a Loophole to Keep Some of the Most Dangerous Guns Out of the Wrong Hands
• Current law places special restrictions on many of the most dangerous weapons, such as machine guns and short-barreled shotguns. These weapons must be registered, and in order to lawfully possess them, a prospective buyer must undergo a fingerprint-based background check.
• However, felons, domestic abusers, and others prohibited from having guns can easily evade the required background check and gain access to machine guns or other particularly dangerous weapons by registering the weapon to a trust or corporation. At present, when the weapon is registered to a trust or corporation, no background check is run. ATF reports that last year alone, it received more than 39,000 requests for transfers of these restricted firearms to trusts or corporations.
• Today, ATF is issuing a new proposed regulation to close this loophole. The proposed rule requires individuals associated with trusts or corporations that acquire these types of weapons to undergo background checks, just as these individuals would if the weapons were registered to them individually. By closing this loophole, the regulation will ensure that machine guns and other particularly dangerous weapons do not end up in the wrong hands.
Keeping Surplus Military Weapons Off Our Streets
• When the United States provides military firearms to its allies, either as direct commercial sales or through the foreign military sales or military assistance programs, those firearms may not be imported back into the United States without U.S. government approval. Since 2005, the U.S. Government has authorized requests to reimport more than 250,000 of these firearms.
• Today, the Administration is announcing a new policy of denying requests to bring military-grade firearms back into the United States to private entities, with only a few exceptions such as for museums. This new policy will help keep military-grade firearms off our streets.

Democratic Congressmen Push For 20 Percent Federal Excise Tax On Firearms, 50 Percent Tax On Ammo
Back when Danny Davis (D-IL) was my congressman, I don't recall hearing too much from him- unless he was coming up for re-election.
Well, November 4, 2014, is fast-approaching, and he and another Democratic congressman- William Pascrell (D-NJ)- whose seat is up for election have both decided to take it upon themselves to remind Americans that Democrats stand for gun "control."
You see, Representatives Davis and Pascrell introduced HR 3018- the "Gun Violence Prevention and Safe Communities Act"- last week, which would hike federal excise taxes on firearms from 10-11 percent up to 20 percent, and hike taxes on ammunition from 11 percent to 50 percent.
I'm guessing a number of pro-gun Democrats, especially those holding office whose seats are also up for election in 2014, are livid right now.
From GovTrack.us this evening:
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to increase the excise tax and special occupational tax in respect of firearms and to increase the transfer tax on any other weapon, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
This Act may be cited as the 'Gun Violence Prevention and Safe Communities Act of 2013'.
(a) In General- Section 4181 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended to read as follows:
'There is hereby imposed upon the sale by the manufacturer, producer, or importer of the following articles a tax equivalent to the specified percent of the price for which so sold:
'(1) Articles taxable at 20 percent:
'(A) Pistols.
'(B) Revolvers.
'(C) Firearms (other than pistols and revolvers).
'(D) Any lower frame or receiver for a firearm, whether for a semiautomatic pistol, rifle, or shotgun that is designed to accommodate interchangeable upper receivers.
'(2) Articles taxable at 50 percent: Shells and cartridges.'.
HR 3018 would also increase the transfer tax on firearms covered under the National Firearms Act ("machine guns," for example) from $200 to $500 and the transfer tax on all other guns from $5 to $100.
Other blogs/websites are reporting that besides ammo, this legislation hikes just handgun- not long gun- taxes, but based on the following- "Firearms (other than pistols and revolvers)"- I take this to mean rifles and shotguns as well.
Consider the following analysis of the gun "control" legislation by Michael Cohn over at AccountingToday.com:
The bill, known as the Gun Violence Prevention and Safe Communities Act, is co-sponsored by Rep. Bill Pascrell, Jr., D-N.J., and Danny Davis, D-Ill. It would increase the excise taxes on firearms from the current range of 10 percent to 11 percent and raise it to 20 percent. The bill would also increase the excise tax on ammunition from 11 percent to 50 percent. It would also increase the Special Occupational Tax on firearm importers, manufacturers and dealers; include assault pistols in the definition of firearms covered under the National Firearms Act; increase the transfer tax on all weapons (except antique guns) covered under the National Firearms Act (excludes most common guns) from $200 to $500 and index to inflation; and increase the transfer tax for any other weapon from $5 to $100 and index to inflation.
All government agencies would be exempted from the tax, including federal, state and local agencies, such as police departments.
Here's my analysis. The legislation won't become law. And I think Congressmen Davis and Pascrell know that.
But it did get them some valuable face time for next year's election.

Free Shotguns For Chicago Residents?
Ever hear of the Armed Citizen Project? From the Houston, Texas-based initiative's website:
The Armed Citizen Project is dedicated to facilitating the arming of law abiding citizens, and analyzing the relationship between increased firearm availability and rates. We are choosing mid-high crime neighborhoods in cities across America, and offering defensive weapons to citizens that can pass a background check, and that will take our safety, legal, and tactical training. The data that we collect will be used in the completion of a policy study.
According to the CBS Chicago website Saturday night, in reference to an announcement the group made at the National Rifle Association national convention that wrapped up Sunday in downtown Houston:
They aim to give out shotguns to people in fifteen cities including Chicago…
[Group founder Kyle] Coplen says they want to come to Chicago but are checking with their lawyers to make sure any legal concerns are addressed ahead of time.
Chicago has traditionally had more restrictive gun laws, and that's why the armed citizen project says they want in so they can put their theory to the test here.
The Armed Citizen Project website shows they're currently active in Tucson, Arizona, as well as Houston, where they have already helped 15 women better protect their families.
For more information about the initiative, you can visit their website here.
Which might be worth your while, as they're giving away an AR-15- laser engraved with their logo- later in the week on Friday, May 10.

VP Biden Says Chicago-Area Democratic Primary Result Sends 'Clear Unequivocal Signal' To NRA And Politicians
Before I move away from the topic of firearms and gun rights, U.S. Vice President Joe Biden decided to weigh-in on the victory of pro-gun "control" candidate Robin Kelly in the U.S. Congressional 2nd District (Chicago south suburbs plus more) Democratic primary this past Tuesday. According to Reuters' Roberta Rampton yesterday, Biden told a group of state attorney generals:
For the first time since Newtown, voters sent a clear unequivocal signal… The voters sent a message last night, not just to the NRA, but to the politicians all around the country. There will be a moral price as well as a political price to be paid for inaction.
I'm going to disagree with the VP here. I'd guess that many observers familiar with "The Chicago Way" interpreted the primary as once again demonstrating that race, gobs of money, and having the blessing of "The Machine" wins elections here in the Chicagoland area. And local politicians screaming about the need for more gun "control" is just one more attempt to distract the masses from the crappy economy and huge financial mess these guys have gotten us into ($9 billion in unpaid bills and a $96 billion pension funding gap in Illinois from what I read yesterday).
By the way, going back to that post I published last week about the Vice President answering gun "control" questions at a Parents magazine event and telling one Facebook user they didn't need an AR-15 for self-defense, get a shotgun instead…

Joe Biden, Meet Celia Bigelow And Her AR-15
Back on January 28, I was taking a break from blogging to do some laundry when I turned on Varney & Co. on the FOX Business Network. Celia Bigelow, the Director of Campus Action at the national conservative organization American Majority Action, was a guest on the show that day. Host Stuart Varney introduced this leader in the conservative youth movement in America as followed:
Senator Dianne Feinstein wants to ban assault "weapons" like the AR-15. But our next guest disagrees. She says that pepper spray, Mace, or a 5-round handheld are not going to cut it anymore when it comes to women protecting themselves.
She wants an AR-15 assault rifle with a 30-round magazine to defend herself.
Ms. Bigelow went on to tell FOX Business Network viewers:
These guns are lightweight. They are really accurate- I can shoot these guns far more accurately than I can with a handgun or a shotgun. And these 30-round magazines essentially serve as an insurance mechanism because if multiple intruders, especially armed intruders, are entering my home, I don't want to have to take the time to reload to get the job done.
Earlier today, I noted that Vice President Joe Biden told readers of Parents magazine yesterday:
You don't need an AR-15. It's harder to aim, it's harder to use, and, in fact, you don't need 30 rounds to protect yourself.

Joe Biden: 'You Don't Need An AR-15' For Self-Defense, Buy A Shotgun Instead
Yesterday, Vice President Joe Biden sat down with Parents magazine to answer questions from Facebook users. A number of the questions were related to the ongoing push for more gun "control" by the White House and Democrats. One response in particular is getting a lot of attention today:
KATE: Do you believe that banning certain weapons and "high-capacity" magazines will mean that law-abiding citizens will be more of a target to criminals as we will have no way to sufficiently protect ourselves?
VP BIDEN: Kate, if you want to protect yourself get a double-barrel shotgun, have the shells at 12-gauge shotgun, and I promise you- as I told my wife- we live in an area that's wooded and somewhat secluded. I said Jill, if there's ever a problem, just walk out on the balcony here, walk out, put that doubled-barrel shotgun, and fire two blasts outside the house. I promise you whosever coming is not- you don't need an AR-15. It's harder to aim, it's harder to use, and, in fact, you don't need 30 rounds to protect yourself. Buy a shotgun. Buy a shotgun.
A lot of Americans might give serious consideration to what the Vice President had to say- if it weren't for the fact that Biden and his family are protected by the United States Secret Service round-the-clock.
Here's hoping "Capri" (Mrs. Biden's Secret Service code name, according to freely-available Internet sources) doesn't hit one of those agents on the Biden's property should she ever light off that shotgun.

Signs Of The Time, Part 59
While I admire U.S. Vice President Joe Biden for his long-time service to our country and the passion he's brought to the various positions he's held through the years, I was put off by a tyrannical-sounding comment he reportedly made last night while asking House Democrats to keep fighting for gun "control" during their retreat in Lansdowne, Virginia. Kate Nocera wrote on the POLITICO website yesterday:
He told the members attending the retreat that he was unwavering in his belief that the recommendations the task force has put forward are not in violation of the Second Amendment.
"It is clearly within the right of the government to determine what type of weapons can be owned by the public."
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
Unfortunately for the Vice President, the fact is, it is not "clearly within the right of the government to determine what type of weapons can be owned by the public."
The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution reads:
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.
First off, there's that phrase "shall not be infringed."
Secondly, no mention is made of what types of "Arms" the people could- or could not- "keep and bear." Handgun, shotgun, rifle. Or for those who like to point out the Founding Fathers had no idea of just how far firearm technology would advance by the 21st century- pistol, blunderbuss, musket, rifle. Not a peep.
"Clearly?" Far from it.

Ryan Gosling Starrer 'Only God Forgives' Wins Sydney Film Prize
Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn's revenge thriller divided the Sydney Film Festival jury, just as it has divided critics since its premiere at Cannes in May.
SYDNEY – Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn has become a two-time winner of the Sydney Film Prize after his latest feature, Only God Forgives, won the Sydney Film Festival's top award over the weekend.
While the Ryan Gosling and Kristin Scott Thomas starrer has divided critics and audiences since its premiere in competition at the Cannes Film Festival, the Sydney Film Festival jury ultimately awarded the $60,000 prize for "audacious, cutting-edge cinema" in a majority decision.

Jury president Hugo Weaving said of the revenge thriller, set in Bangkok: "After 10 days of captivating and diverse film viewing and passionate conversations, the jury arrived at a majority decision. In the true spirit of the competition criteria, we award a visually mesmerizing and disturbing film, which polarized our opinions."
In a statement, Refn said, "I am very honored and extremely excited to have received this honorable award from a country that, in my opinion, has one of the great film histories of the world."
Refn's Bronson won the competition here in 2009.
Icon Distribution will release Only God Forgives in Australia on July 18.
The 2013 Sydney Film Prize jury included Weaving, filmmakers Anand Gandhi (India) and Pia Marais (Sweden/Germany), film critic and curator Paolo Bertolin (Italy) and Australian producer Kath Shelper.

Minister pledges Queensland Literary Awards funding as LNP have change of heart on book awards
- From: The Courier-Mail
- March 01, 2013
THE literary awards powered by the people have won back the State Government after their rousing community stand last year.
The Courier-Mail can reveal that 2013 Queensland Literary Awards will offer three $15,000 fellowships funded by the State Government specifically for Queensland writers.
The decision comes less than a year after Campbell Newman scrapped the Premier's Literary Awards as a cost-cutting measure.
In another funding coup for the grassroots QLA, created last year, professional services firm Deloitte will also today announce a $20,000 sponsorship.
QLA chair Dr Stuart Glover welcomed the Government's fellowship program as a means of injecting a developmental focus for local writers.
"The QLA will maintain a national suite of awards, which will be announced in April, but I have started conversations with the Government about ways to introduce some other Queensland-related elements," Dr Glover said.
The Courier-Mail will again sponsor the $5000 People's Choice book of the year award and Dr Glover said the QLA continued to seek corporate and community support.
There was public criticism last year when Premier Newman scrapped the $230,000 awards program. Dr Glover said the extent and depth of community reaction surprised many within Brisbane's literary circles.
"I think the Government noticed that as well and that seems to be part of why we are back at the table to discuss it," he said.
But Arts Minister Ian Walker said the $62,000 in new funding, including $17,000 for administrative costs, was not a response to the outcry, rather it was a new partnership.
"Difficult decisions had to be made last year to make sure appropriate funding was funnelled to front-line services like hospitals and schools," he said.
"This is my department looking at what we can do to support Queensland writers even more than we already do. The important thing is that this whole arrangement will be a partnership amongst the Government, the corporate sector and philanthropists."
He said the Government's focus was encouraging Queensland writers. The fellowships will be selected and administered by the QLA.
Nominations for the fellowships open March 25 and nominations for the Queensland Literary Awards open April 11.
