Surprising reversals in asset prices remain a key theme for this week. The sudden drop of the Nikkei 225 was followed by USD/JPY and other Dollar caresses. EUR/USD jumped to 1.1610. Reserve Bank of New Zealand gave a positive boost to NZD when it left the interest rates unchanged at 1.75%. Risk aversion led USD/CHF down to 0.9973, Gold rose to $1,283.
On Thursday 9th of November, the event calendar is light in important economic data releases, but market participants will keep an eye on ECB Economic Bulletin, European Commission Economic Forecasts data, NIESR GDP Estimate from the UK, New Housing Price Index data from Canada and Unemployment Claims, and Continuing Claims data from the US.
EUR/USD analysis for 09/11/2017:
The EU Commission releases the Autumn 2017 Economic Forecasts today, which will be used as the basis for the detailed assessment of the 2018 Draft Budgetary Plans (DBP) submitted on 15 October. In particular, the EC will assess the fiscal measures announced by the EU governments in the draft budget bill. Any shortcomings or potential drift between the EC estimate and the 2018 government commitment might push the EC to require corrective action. Regarding the 2018 public finances figures, the EC applies the 2018 DBP with its own forecasts and assessment of the efficiency of the measures, which will give an idea of the required fiscal tightening to meet the 2018 targets. In terms of growth, compared to the last report published in April, the EC is set to significantly revise upward its 2017 growth forecasts. Indeed, the EC had a 2017 figure of 1.7% compared with 2.2% for the consensus. Only limited downward revision to inflation is expected for 2017 (EC: 1.6%, consensus: 1.5%). Market participants should also expect minor changes in the 2018 outlook, with growth at slightly below 2.0% (April forecasts, consensus: 1.8%) and inflation at below 1.5% (April forecasts and consensus: 1.3%).
Let's now take a look at the EUR/USD technical picture on the H4 time frame. The market jumped towards the level of 1.1610 from the oversold trading conditions. The momentum is not dramatically improving so far, and the move upwards is so far looking as corrective. In case of a further breakout, the next technical resistance is seen at the level of 1.1662 and 1.1690.
Market Snapshot: USD/JPY reverses again
The price of USD/JPY has reversed from the top at the level of 114.72 and is trading closer to the key near-term support at the level of 113.25. Any breakout lower will directly expose the level of 112.94 for a test. Until this event, the market remains closed in a narrow horizontal zone between those two levels.
Market Snapshot: Gold moves higher after the test
The price of Gold has moved towards the next technical resistance at the level of $1,289 after a successful test of the golden trend line from below. The 200-period moving average has been broken as well and the momentum is slowly increasing too. The key zone for bulls is the gray area between the levels of $1,298 - $1,306.

Trust me, we were as surprised as you. On Tuesday we put up 100 Golden Saddle Cyclery and Intelligenstia caps in the web-store and they sold out in 6 hours. That's the bad news but here's the good news…yesterday on a visit to Pace Sportswear for other business, I saw a pile of these caps that had been sewn preemptively. Long story short, I grabbed them, all 200 of them and now they're on the Golden Saddle Cyclery web-store. Because of this we probably won't be remaking these caps anytime soon. So if you want one I'd probably get on it.
**And thank you for being awesome Pace!**

You can now get the #LGG4 for just $199.99 from eBay. The smartphone is LG's 2015 flagship and it has barely been about one year since the device was made official by the company. The arrival of the G4 was followed by the LG V10 and recently by the LG G5, so one can say that the G4 has never really had enough time in the markets. All things considered, the G4 is a pretty stellar flagship offering even by 2016 standards.
The handset comes with a 5.5-inch Quad HD display, a hexa-core Snapdragon 808 SoC, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of expandable storage, a 16-megapixel rear camera, an 8-megapixel front camera, Android 5.1 Lollipop and a 3,000 mAh battery. The phone also comes with a removable back panel, which has been a desired feature on Android devices for quite some time now.
The stocks might run out soon, so we suggest you hit the eBay page ASAP.

text: In my experience, I've been able to toggle QOS on or off without breaking any existing "normal" connections. That's great. In my case, I have a custom iptables rule to change the port number on a specific outgoing connection, so I can treat a service running on a non-standard port as if it is running on the standard port. So I have something like this in my firewall script tab. Code: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 188.8.131.52 -p tcp --dport 445 -j DNAT --to-destination 184.108.40.206:9445 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 18.104.22.168 -p udp --dport 445 -j DNAT --to-destination 126.96.36.199:9445 However, toggling QOS seems to break existing connections that rely on this rule. (New ones can be established, of course, but it disrupts anything in progress). Can I save these rules somewhere else so that they are treated more like the other rules, and stay intact through a QOS toggle? For example, in /etc/iptables or a shell script somewhere that modifies that config file before the service is restarted? I'm running Shibby's build.

Dai Godwin - guitar/vocals
Darren Beale - bass/vocals
Simon Parson - drums/vocals
Style of music and influences:
Lemonheads and Sparklehorse.
Somewhere along the way, the traditional music-making cities of the UK got old and complacent. Look at Manchester, forever haunted by the Hacienda heritage of the Mondays and The Roses. London, a city slumped in front of the increasingly tawdry soap-opera that is The Libertines. No, right now, if you want to experience the cordite flash of real inspiration, you look to the provinces. Sunderland's The Futureheads. Leicester's Kasabian. Newport's Goldie Lookin' Chain. And The Caves.
The Caves hail from Swansea - that grey urban conurbation immortalised in 1997's Twin Town , the so-called "pretty shitty city" slapped down an hour-and-a-half up the M4 from Wales' border. They number three. There's singer/guitarist Dai Godwin, the deliberate, intense one that used to deliver Reader's Wives porn around South Wales from the back of a van. Bassist/vocalist Darren Beale, hair always in his eyes, fingers usually working on a fresh rollie. And drummer/ vocalist Simon Parsons - the missing link between Jarvis Cocker and Keith Moon, with a quip for every occasion. Watching them, you're reminded of a young Supergrass – in the sheer youthful elation they pour into every song, in the way that each member is a crucial third of the whole. Everyone writes songs. Everyone writes lyrics. That's the way it works with The Caves.
"The Caves is a form of escapism, definitely," admits Simon. "Because we live in one of the drabbest places on the planet. But it's mad. You come here and there's no fucking rules. There's no scenes, no subculture. It's vigilante music! Taking the law of the gig into your own hands." They met in the pub because that's where everyone meets in Swansea, and they were guerrilla gigging before the term existed. "It's more a case of needs-must. D'y fancy playing? Yeah. Where? Well there's a party – wanna go?" Their first proper gig took place last September, in front of a hundred friends and baffled onlookers in the band's local snooker hall. "You know Twin Peaks ?" explains Dai. "The room with the red velvet curtains, where there's the dwarf that talks backwards – it was that kind of vibe." The next gig took place on top of a roof in Dai's back garden.
And gradually, bit by bit, rumours started filtering back to London: about this band of prodigies playing grandly optimistic, gritted-teeth amphetamine punk songs deep in the UK's wild west. The first few A&Rs that traveled down to catch The Caves play in their Swansea rehearsal space, The Asylum, left ashen-faced – perhaps it was the way the band had to barricade themselves into the studio to stop the local scallies from breaking in and stripping the place bare.
All the same, it wasn't long until major label deals started flopping on the table. The Caves, however, turned them all down, choosing to sign to new indie Main Spring. That's why you hold this debut album, 'This Way To…', in your hands right now. And here's what it's all about.
"Taking the best bits from favourite songs…" "We want to be instant. It's like a smack in the face." "As many hooks as we can hammer home…" "It has to be like that. Because there's a lot of fuckin' miserabalia about these days, isn't there?" asks Simon.
And then everyone laughs. Because he just made that word up.

You may want to consider gifting one or a few of the E bonds to eligible family members - each recipient will not have to pay income taxes on the first $10,000 of the gift. I believe you will find that the bond cannot be gifted. To gift it, you must cash it and give the redeemed value (less taxes paid by you at your rate).Consulting a knowledgable tax pro couldn't hurt either.This is what I would advise at this time.Gemstarman

Tsunami Musings in Dhaka
- Details
- Category | Tsunami 2004
- Published on Monday, 11 November 2013 06:06
I wake up early, long before the alarm goes off. The stillness of the early morning, the chilly inky blackness is a shroud I can't shrug off. The heart is numb, the mind separates itself to play my private film of the tsunami. This year, the sixth after the tsunami, there is no need to jump out of bed for the early morning drive along the coast road – the heart wrenching stop at Hikkaduwa, where it all happened and then to Katudampe temple for the almsgiving for my brother Prasanna Kirtisinghe.
The sea I miss. Photograph©Chulie de Silva
It's nearly 10 am here, the bearded boss comes in and speaks to me in Bangla but nothing registers. I nod and smile but my mind has wandered off on its own. He was there after the tsunami, but he like many others have forgotten about it – the tsunami is history. The world has moved on burdened by many pressing problems.
I am clock watching while working. It would be about 9:30 am in Sri Lanka – the time the tsunami stuck. For all those who lost loved ones this would still be a poignant moment.
Many are the happy hours we spent by the sea like this. Photograph©Chulie de Silva
I try to call home but no one picks up the phone. They must be on the way to the temple with the alms. The temple at Katudampe off Ratgama is an oasis of calm. The young novice monk was someone that Prasanna helped. He and the chief priest the scholar monk Rev. Hikkaduwe Tilaka was there to conduct the funeral rites for Prasanna. I miss myself at the almsgiving. The ritual of healing is missing.
Memories that linger, no balm to the unhealing wound in the heart. Photograph©Chulie de Silva
The sea was my friend from childhood. The friend I talked to, listened to. There is no sea close by for me to go sink my feet into the softness of the sand, and ask again the same unanswered questions. Today, my solace is in the images from the past. We've held back the tears and moved on but the pain after all these years is no less.

Wanking over a hot girl
This happened less than a year ago. One day I was on the bus home from school, and as I like to do sometimes, I stealthily got my cock out and started to wank it under my jumper, with my bag on my lap to hide it.
Anyway, there was this really hot girl from my class that I like, sitting a few seats behind me. She does'nt have a bad body, nice legs, but her face is to die for, shes so pretty. She then moved up to the seat behind me and started talking. I thought 'oh shit' but kept my cool and made small talk with her, all the while pumping my dick slowly, right beside her with my school bag hiding my hand from her view (there was no one in any of the seats near me either, so no one else saw).
Anyway, it was great wanking at her while looking straight at her, as she's starred in many of my fantasies. I'm pretty good at keeping a straight face but I don't think she saw me doing anything but unfortunately I couldn't cum as there would have been too much movement and she might have got suspicious. She's pretty randy anyway so if she had of caught me it might not necessarily have been a bad thing.
I get off at the same stop as her, so when it came time to get off the bus I tucked my dick in quickly and got off, went straight home and had a good session and jacked off three times over her.

ET wrote:We didn't ever do anything like this, but some good friends of ours have home schooled and one of the coolest features of home schooling is, of course, the ability to not be constrained by a school calendar and be "onsite" at the same campus every day. So every October for a number of years they'd rent a house/condo on the beach for a month in October for the same price as a week in the summer and enjoy the beach without all the tourists around. Do a little schoolin'...hit the beach. Very cool.
I've been reading "homeschooling goes mainstream" articles for years but think there is a ceiling, probably single digit percentages of all school-age kids because of the demands on parents.
We really enjoyed the flexible scheduling, being able to travel with our kids when school was in session. SC required HS parents to declare that they had their kids in the HS for a minimum number of hours per year, same as public school.

The arrival of Fremont East as a top Las Vegas nightlife destination wasn't marked by a fancy new restaurant or major concert event.
Mainstream validation for the decade-old entertainment district came in the form of crowds of boozing, downtown newcomers who surged into the area on recent weekend nights.
Even as the small, locals-oriented bars and restaurants that characterize the quirky district filled up, the crowds continued to swell and spill off the sidewalks, presenting an entirely new problem for an area once considered desolate by urban standards.
Bar owners, police and local residents suddenly were struggling to handle hordes of beverage-toting revelers tromping up and down the sidewalk, drifting into the street and generally causing chaos.
After 10 p.m. on a recent Friday, crowds swelled well beyond a typical evening, with revelers carrying bottles of beer and liquor up and down the sidewalk. Police issued citations to many and confiscated countless cans and bottles of alcohol. As the night wore on and the crowds grew, police used horses for crowd control and loudspeakers to urge people to keep the sidewalks clear.
While issuing citations for open container violations was clearly a major part of the police strategy, there are questions about whether the tickets will hold up to scrutiny in court. Las Vegas' liberal public drinking laws prohibit open containers only in certain instances, such as if the booze comes from a liquor store and not a bar; and even the city attorney has said it is likely at least some of the citations will get thrown out.
Still, demands for a less raucous atmosphere persist.
"There are only so many people you can fit out on the sidewalk," said Chris LaPorte, owner of video game bar Insert Coins.
LaPorte shared a surveillance camera photo from a recent weekend night in which a crowd some 15-deep massed outside the entrance.
"There might be some pushing, there might be some elbows, as the night progresses liquor has a tendency to make things go bad sometimes," he said.
Metropolitan Police Department officials noticed the problem and stepped in to help, beefing up crowd control efforts that included everything from officers on horseback to writing hundreds of citations to people for drinking booze on the sidewalk, a common activity downtown. They also cracked down on bar owners they decided were contributing to the chaos by playing music so loud it encouraged crowds to mass outside.
"It came down to us determining it was time for us to draw a line in the sand and that this was not going to become Bourbon Street," said Capt. Shawn Andersen, who runs the Downtown Area Command.
In addition to police enforcement, the Downtown Project, a $350 million urban renewal project funded in large part by Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh, jumped into the fray.
Downtown Rangers, a Downtown Project-funded crew of uniformed workers best described as a cross between sidewalk concierges and unarmed security guards, set up shop between Fremont East and the Fremont Street Experience tourist attraction on a recent Friday and advised passers-by to ditch their drinks or risk a citation from police.
The rangers' presence is part of numerous Downtown Project-sponsored changes aimed at making the area more appealing for tech entrepreneurs, urbane condominium dwellers and trendier restaurants, bars and attractions.
Part of the evolution is a culture shift away from the public partying and general carousing that characterizes life under the Fremont Street Experience canopy.
"If you walk out of Fremont Street Experience with a daiquiri and you walk into Fremont East and get a ticket, yeah, it is personally your responsibility, but I would encourage the Fremont Street Experience to let their visitors know you can't leave this area," said Zach Ware of the Downtown Project.
But the response appears to have created its own set of problems.
For starters, citations for open container violations are upsetting and confusing to locals and visitors who have grown accustomed to strolling between bars and casinos with an adult beverage in hand.
Visitors who were given the unpleasant surprise of a city citation for walking along the sidewalk with a can of beer said it gave them a bad impression of Las Vegas they would certainly share with others.
"Here is a place that is basically built on tourism, and this is what you are going to do, you are going to hand out bull—— tickets to people who don't even know they are breaking the law," said Jason, 27, a visitor from Bossier City, La., who didn't want to share his last name. "I'm not speaking too positively about Las Vegas right now when I have to pay this $200 ticket."
Tourists weren't the only people caught up in the reaction.
Early on a recent Saturday morning, police closed the Vanguard and Beauty Bar on Fremont Street that they claimed were playing music so loudly it was encouraging people to mass on the sidewalks outside. Vanguard was cited for public nuisance and work card violations, and Beauty Bar was cited for work card violations, according to police.
The shutdowns, which lasted 24 hours, came despite the city specifically identifying the bar district as exempt from noise ordinances that prohibit loud music elsewhere.
The idea behind the exemption was to encourage bars to use live music to attract crowds to the area.
Paul Devitt, owner of Beauty Bar, said police closed the venue down after they alleged a manager didn't comply with requests to turn down the music in an attempt to disperse crowds outside.
The shutdown, which lasted 24 hours, meant Devitt had to be closed on the ensuing Saturday night, costing him revenue from customers and payments to bands that weren't able to perform.
"I have no problem being a good citizen," Devitt said. "But I do mind when the police pull the rug out from under me because they determine I am not cooperating with them."
While the crackdown may have succeeded in riling tourists and business owners caught in the middle, it might have failed to produce results that can hold up in court.
City Attorney Brad Jerbic said it's likely at least some of the citations issued for open container violations will get tossed out of court. That's because city code is fairly liberal when it comes to drinking booze in public.
"There is nothing illegal about taking a drink out of a casino once you purchased it," Jerbic said.
He also said that from a legal standpoint there is no difference between the area under the Fremont Street Experience canopy and Fremont East, at least when it comes to open containers.
It's only illegal to drink alcohol on the sidewalk if the container came from a packaged liquor seller, which basically means people can't bring their own booze from home or a liquor store to consume on the street.
Also, a separate ordinance governs which businesses can legally allow customers to walk off the premises with an open container of alcohol, Jerbic said.
If the business has a tavern license, it is free to allow customers to drink at the bar or take the beverage out the door.
But if the business is operating under a tavern limited license, like most Fremont East bars, the booze must be consumed on premises. The same restriction applies to sellers operating under a restaurant liquor license.
A list of 53 licensed alcohol establishments in the downtown area provided by the city shows 21 locations with tavern licenses which, under city code, can allow customers to leave with an adult beverage in hand.
Most of the tavern licenses are for casinos clustered on Fremont between Main and Las Vegas Boulevard. But there are also tavern licenses on Third Street and farther east on Fremont.
In short, the only way it is clearly illegal for someone to drink on the street is if it comes from a container that was "sealed or corked" at the point of purchase or poured into a cup by the consumer.
Attorney Dayvid Figler, who has already taken at least three clients charged with open container violations, said he expects many citations could get tossed.
"This has been something that has been in debate some time," Figler said of the open container issue. "If people raise this particular challenge to each judge and the judges start to rule on it, (police) may have to re-evaluate their stepped-up enforcement of this ordinance."

Bert absently watched the smoke rising off of the lit cigarette that dangled on the edge of the bathtub and then looked down to see a nugget of gray ash fall off the tip and disperse in the now tepid, soap-murky water. He could hear the television playing in the other room, something brash and inane, one of the programs that he had spent years trying to get Ernie to stop watching before finally giving up and instead just silently retreating to the bedroom with his books and a classical music station on the radio. Perhaps, in retrospect, he should never have tried to change Ernie, and perhaps he even could have made more of an effort to show an interest in Muppet Babies And Tiaras or whatever he was obsessed with at any given time. Although with these kinds of situations, Bert supposed, if it wasn't one thing it was another. There's a certain inevitability to the dissolution of any serious relationship, and the accumulated attrition is basically impossible to ascribe to any one behavior or mistake or thing you said that you later regret. Stopping a relationship that is ending, Bert thought, was like trying to stop a moving train. A moving train that moved so slowly you could hardly tell it was moving at all. Anyway, wasn't his therapist JUST saying this week that he needed to be easier on himself? More forgiving? That while he was certainly responsible for his half of the relationship, and therefore also for his half of the end of the relationship, that it wasn't doing anyone, least of all him, any good to spend entire sleepless nights wondering what he might have done differently and blaming himself for the direction his life was now taking as if any of us really has any say in the matter. "It just moves forward," she had said. "And you have no choice but to move with it, wherever it takes you." Bert submerged his head beneath the surface and felt his face absorb the water. He felt like staying under forever. He could. He was a puppet.
That afternoon, they had sat across from each other in a lawyer's glass-walled office, and Bert thought he was looking at a stranger. Even worse, he was pretty sure Ernie was thinking the same way. As their individual lawyers went back and forth with their exhausting negotiations, Bert's mind drifted back to better days. Here was Ernie in a tank top and jean shorts, chasing Bert through a sprinkler in the backyard of some upstate summer cottage they'd rented for cheap on an off-peak weekend. Here was Bert trying to cook Thanksgiving dinner while Ernie sat on the counter reading out loud from the latest issue of GQ. Here is a back massage. Here is waiting for a bus in a snowstorm. Here is some book party for a friend that neither of them had talked to in years and Bert hadn't even thought about him until just now and wondered how he was doing. And now Bert went all the way back, to the first time he met Ernie. They were at opposite ends of a bar, which is funny in retrospect, because Bert used to tell people all the time that no one ever actually meets anyone in a bar. Bert tried to send Ernie a drink but the bartender came back. "Sorry," the bartender had told him. "He says he's not interested." Bert had a couple more to gather his courage and then walked over.
"You think you're too good for my drink?" he asked Ernie.
"Don't take it so personally," Ernie had said. "You're not my type."
Bert felt the heat rising in his face, and he wasn't sure if it was anger, embarrassment, or Maker's Mark. "Oh, and what's your type?"
"Fair enough. I like guys with round heads. Yours is pointy. It's nothing personal."
Two hours later they were fucking each other's brains out.
Bert pulled himself out of the tub and wrapped a towel around his waist. He sat down on the toilet lid and stayed that way, his pointy head in his hands, for a few minutes before getting dressed. He'd taken to bringing his clothes with him into the bathroom and changing in privacy. Not that it really mattered. Ernie slept on the couch most nights, and when they were both awake they were at opposite sides of the apartment. Things had never really recovered from the night a few months earlier when they'd had a horrible argument and Ernie had locked himself in the office and spitefully bent all of Bert's paperclips. He was mournful and apologetic the next day, but they both knew it was over. Bert felt like he was covered in cement. And like the apartment was filled with water. He could hardly move, and he was drowning. It was not actually as unpleasant as it sounded. He felt a certain resignation about the whole thing. Maybe, he sometimes thought, I'm just this now. Maybe everything is this. It was exactly the kind of thinking that his therapist would give him a hard time about at their sessions. He was thinking about stopping seeing her. Money was going to be tight anyway.
Bert walked out into the living room. Ernie was laughing at something on his phone, but when he saw Bert he stopped laughing and turned the phone face down on the coffee table. Bert slumped onto the couch and could feel Ernie recoil. "Don't worry," he wanted to say, "I'm not actually going to touch you." Instead, he didn't say anything. He stared at the television, which was playing a commercial for some kind of weight loss system. He felt like Ernie's eyes were on him, but he didn't look over. "Can we talk?" he finally asked. Ernie was silent. "OK, well, I just wish there was a way…I don't want to go back. I know that we can't. I just wish there was an easier way to do this. I don't want to go back to that lawyer's office. I think that what we had, even if it's gone now, I think it deserves better than to be torn apart by a couple of overpriced assholes wearing expensive suits. Can't we…isn't there a way that you and I could just end this together in a way that…in a way that makes sense and isn't mean and we just can move forward with the good memories intact and not have to throw it all away for no reason?" The air didn't move. The TV flickered as if no one in the world even knew that it was all ending. "We're losing enough, I think. We're already losing enough."
Years later, when Bert was remarried and sitting on the back porch drinking a glass of white wine with ice cubes in it and watching his new husband turn salmon steaks over on the grill, he would surprise himself by remembering things he hadn't thought of in years. Here is a pile of boxes next to the door and an overweight mover dripping sweat on a piano. Here is unexpectedly seeing Ernie across a crowded art gallery and rushing out into the street with a heart like a drum. Here is their first real date at some horrible Thai fusion restaurant that Bert read about in the Sunday Sesame Street Times. Here is Bert sitting on the couch with Ernie one last time asking him please. Here is Bert's heart breaking. Bert's new husband (not even so new anymore, eight years last month!) looked over at him and smiled and Bert smiled back. Somewhere, a sprinkler turned on.

Shocking 'failure' of Bihar Class 12 toppers to answer basic questions - CNN
Bihar Class 12 toppers were asked a few basic questions in Arts and Science, which they failed to answer, leading to suspicions over the standards of education in that state. When asked one of the toppers in Political Science about her subject, she ironically replied that it is about cooking food. A boy who topped in Science did not know about the periodic table. State BJP leaders were quick on the uptake in criticising poor educational standards in Bihar.

|This Note describes a method for the characterisation of the after-pulses in in Silicon Photomultipliers. The after-pulsing probability in SiPM and its time constant are obtained measuring the mean number of photo-electrons in a variable time window following a light pulse. The method, experimentally simple and statistically robust due to the use of the Central Limit Theorem, has been applied to an HAMAMATSU MPPC S10362-11-100C.

The NRA made its first official statement since the tragic massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary school that killed twenty children and six adults.
The NRA's executive vice president Wayne LaPierre did not answer questions but told reporters that the US government should find the money to put a police officer in every single school to protect the students.
"The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun," LaPierre said.
"Is the press and the political class here in Washington, DC so consumed by fear and hatred of the NRA and American gun owners, that you're willing to accept a world ... where a school principal is left to surrender her life to shield those children in her care?" he asked rhetorically. "No one … has the right to impose that sacrifice."
Gun law proponents including New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg immediately pounced on the remarks, calling them a "shameless evasion of the crisis facing our country," reports the Wall Street Journal.
"Instead of offering solutions to a problem they have helped create, they offered a paranoid, dystopian vision of a more dangerous and violent America where everyone is armed and no place is safe," he said. "Enough. As a country, we must rise above special interest politics."
Bloomberg said earlier this week that he hopes the tragedy would be a turning point in the debate around gun control. Staunch gun rights advocates have remained largely silent since the NRA statement but some pro-NRA Republicans have spoken out against the call for more guns.
Former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele called the NRA's remarks "very haunting and very disturbing," according to CNN.
"I don't even know where to begin," Steele said on MSNBC. "As a supporter of the Second Amendment and a supporter of the NRA, even though I'm not a member of the NRA, I just found it very haunting and very disturbing that our country now that are talking about arming our teachers and our principals in classrooms. I do not believe that's where the American people want to go."
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said that having armed guards at school entrances was not "conducive to a positive learning environment," reports the Bergen Record.
"In general I don't think that the solution to safety in schools is putting an armed guard because for it to be really effective in my view, from a law enforcement perspective, you have to have an armed guard at every classroom," Christie said.
"Because if you just have an armed guard at the front door then what if this guy had gone around to the side door? There's many doors in and out of schools."
According to CNN, President Barack Obama said earlier this week that the administration will develop recommendations no later than January for preventing another tragedy like the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary.

Crazy Out Here
These weeks are going by so fast, seems like time flies rather you're having fun or not. Life is short it's been said forever and we know it's even shorter for some. It's crazy they say The Lord watches over babies and fools which I believe is true since there are so many babies and good people being taken away and sometimes it's because of the fools. Everyday it's something new going on and you have to be cautious and more observant. I started off thinking this would be a light week and a nice whimsical blog but every time I turn on the TV or listen to the radio there is another shooting associated with a carjacking or robbery, a baby has been hospitalized for being shot or injured for being in the presence of someone who doesn't need or like kids. Home invasions, arsons, rapings, kidnappings and so much more it's crazy out here. It's bad that you can't have the things you work for because there is someone out here envious of what you have and instead of working for it to get their own they would rather take yours. I believe it all starts in the home, not saying that everyone out here doing these things is from a broken home because you can do your best in raising your kids and teaching them right from wrong and have a good family life and they can still choose to run with the wrong crowd or allow peer pressure to get to them and it could change their life. And then with the company you keep there's always the chance of being in the wrong place at the wrong time which is always a bad situation. There is always someone on the sidelines watching it's up to you to decide rather they are there to cheer you on, to soak up game and learn or soak it up to take you down. You may think you have a cheerleader but we all know looks can be deceiving.
