Skip to comments.A Form of Gun Confiscation Has Reportedly Begun in New York State
Posted on 04/09/2013 5:50:14 PM PDT by rmlew
Despite promises from the president and a host of other politicians who are pushing for more gun control that nobody is coming for your guns, the confiscation of guns and gun permits has apparently started in some form in New York State. One attorney representing several people who have been forced to surrender their guns spoke with TheBlaze and alerted us to some disturbing facts:
How did confiscation start happening so quickly? Apparently the gun grabbing was triggered by something inside the NY SAFE Act — New York's new gun law — that has a provision apparently mandating confiscation of weapons and permits if someone has been prescribed psychotropic drugs.
The Case:
On April 1st, a legal gun owner in upstate New York reportedly received an official notice from the state ordering him to surrender any and all weapons to his local police department. The note said that the person's permit to own a gun in New York was being suspended as well. The gun owner contacted attorney Jim Tresmond (a specialist in gun laws in New York) and the two visited the local police precinct.
Mr. Tresmond reportedly went into the precinct and informed the officers that his client, waiting in the parking lot, was coming in to voluntarily surrender his weapons as requested. The local police were aware of the letter because they had already been contacted by the State Police. Apparently, if people do not respond to the initial mailing, local law enforcement is authorized to visit the gun owner at their home and demand the surrender of the firearms. In this case, the gun owner followed the request as written. The guns and permits were handed over and a receipt given to the client. p>After the guns were turned over, a request for a local hearing was filed and the gun owner is expecting to have his Second Amendment rights restored. But there is more to this story.
In our conversation with lawyer Jim Tresmond, we learned that this client, who has never had a problem with the law — no criminal record and or violent incidents on record — did have a temporary, short term health issue that required medication. But how were his client's private medical information accessed by the government? This appears to be a violation of HIPAA and Health Information Privacy policies at HHS.gov. If it is declared a violation, this becomes a civil rights issue.
Some claim that a broad interpretation of this statement from HIPAA might allow the government to have instant access to the medical records and gun ownership records of anyone who is prescribed psychotropic drugs.
A major goal of the Privacy Rule is to assure that individuals health information is properly protected while allowing the flow of health information needed to provide and promote high quality health care and to protect the public's health and well being.
That short phrase, "protect the public's health and well being" is probably going to be cited as the reason governments can require notification of any gun owner who is prescribed a class of drugs used to treat Depression and Anxiety known as SSRI ( Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors).
The Mental Health Law provision of the SAFE Act claims
The NY SAFE Act is designed to remove firearms from those who seek to do harm to themselves or others. This means keeping the minority of individuals with serious mental illness who may be dangerous away from access to firearms. This law should not dissuade any individual from seeking mental health services they need.
The law is clear on what it expects:
MHL 9.46 requires mental health professionals to report to their local director of community services (DCS) or his/her designees when, in their reasonable professional judgment, one of their patients is likely to engage in conduct that would result in serious harm to self or others.
The man who was asked/directed to turn over his guns reportedly did not exhibit any signs of violent or dangerous behavior. According to his attorney, the man's doctor did not report any danger to the authorities. So, who did report it?
Also known as MHL 9.46, the law talks about who is supposed to report on mental health risks and which patients qualify:
In addition to what Mr. Tresmond called "the laughable diminution of our rights," the lawyer speculated about additional unintended consequences of releasing this confidential patient information to law enforcement.
In an effort to learn how many permits and guns have been rescinded due to this medical exception, TheBlaze has made several attempts to contact the Erie County office over pistol permits where this one incident originated. We have yet to be connected with a real person who can answer these questions.
We have also reached out to the Albany office of the New York State Police, but no official response has been received.
Mr. Tresmond has also agreed to keep us posted on his client's efforts to have his Second Amendment rights restored and get back his guns.
TheBlaze will continue to monitor this story and we are also interested in hearing from other New Yorkers who may have experienced this type of confiscation. Please send all emails to email@example.com.

PS. What is next? Do you have migraines or cluster headaches and take a triptan like imitrex or Maxalt? Guess what, these are Seritonin Agonists
S-Adenosyl methionine (SAM-E) is a supplement used for both mood elevation and to treat pain from arthritis. 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a supplement used alone or in combination with valerian and melatonin to stop insomnia. It is a precursor to Serotinin and is also used in Europe to treat depression. So how long until that herbal sleep aid becomes an excuse to take your guns.
And I am not even going to start with all the herbs that are Monoamine oxidase inhibitors and could concievably be considered psychotripic.
Sound familiar? I remember something like this in a book on my Kindle.
It has begun.
Been going on in Kalifornia...'In the story below, you will see that California has set up a criteria of people that they deem to be unfit to own guns. Keep in mind that the people they deem as unfit are legal, registered gun owners. We can safely predict that the criteria they use to seize your guns will grow narrower and narrower by the month, until all guns are seized. Expect dozens of other states to fall in line behind California and begin to start thishttp://www.nowtheendbegins.com/blog/?p=13342 as well'
From Bloomberg: Wearing bulletproof vests and carrying 40-caliber Glock pistols, nine California Justice Department agents assembled outside a ranch-style house in a suburb east of Los Angeles. They were looking for a gun owner whod recently spent two days in a mental hospital.
They knocked on the door and asked to come in. About 45 minutes later, they came away peacefully with three firearms
Tresmond is the same lawyer that filed the lawsuit in Chattauqua County against the use of the "emergency powers" to pass ths Safe Act without deabte or public comment.
disarmed by government psychiatrist/doctor.
healthcare people aren't your friends.
The easiest way for them to do this would be to search pharmacy records for certain drug sales and cross reference them to gun permits.
Remeber folks, when they come for your guns, for your own safety, make sure you give them the bullets first.
Seriously though, folks, this is what "universal background checks" are all about. An "innocent" law passed and then the libs will start to load it with all kinds of kickers that will be used to reject an applicant. More importantly, it will be used to revoke the permit of anyone considered a "danger" to the feral... I mean federal, government.
This means you, NRA member, or anyone else who spouts the 2A as being a defense against a "tyrannical" government or other such "nonsense". The goal is to allow people to own guns, but the only ones who will actually have guns will be those approved by the government.
Beginning to understand where this going now?
They won't stop at firearms either.
The Cry of the New Martyrs - Psychiatric Treatment of Christians
What if you go silent, and refuse statements based on constitutional rights? Do they rip the place apart (certainly)? And if the firearms were lost in a boating accident (not found during the search), do you get jailed? Government Nazi's!
What if your kid takes a drug for ADHD?
The populace can't get rid of the despotic government and seeks chemical anxiety amelioration.
The gov't send the populace off to the gulags.
There is a wide range of drugs which fit this category and which are handed out like candy.
They may not have to search pharmacy records.
Pharmacies and/or health insurance companies could report anyone being prescribed these drugs, not saying they would but they could.
Uh, the kids are NOT yours, they belong to the people. CNN or LSNBC say so these days.
Eventually, it is going to come down to a fire fight.
Perhaps, many of them before these progressive governments start to get the message.
God bless the USA for the troubled times that are coming.
Note to self; in future, if possible, NEVER register any weapon and NEVER tell anyone you don't absolutely trust that you possess one.
Especially when their funding comes directly from Zer0, Pelosi and Reid.
That's why some states require prompt reporting of loss of guns. When they ask "where are they?", "I lost 'em" is admission of guilt.
Likewise registering private sales. If they ever find it and its NOT linked to you by a solid paper trail, off to jail.
You can count on them doing any damned sneaky thing that they can. At some point someone will resist and it will be Ruby Ridge all over again. That might get things really going.
The JBT's will take your guns, and certain freeepers who are convinced ADD is a myth will shun you for not beating your child enough.
The Scots used to bury their swords if and when the English started coming to confiscate them.
"Bullets are the problem"
How so? Hidden storage or availability?
Well now it makes sense why they have been handing those pills out like they are peppermint candies for 20 years.
Everyone is going to be a criminal, before they get done us.
it could probably be shown that aspartame is a serotonin blocker.
aspartame ... otherwise known as nutra sweet... key sweetener for almost all diet sodas
A sure sign of mental illness... ;-)
Not my forte, but I believe that cordite and other propellants break down in moisture, or simply oxidize over time. So I guess storage would be an issue.
You need a mantra; like: "I don't recall, I don't recall,..."
The USA is destined to repeat the abuses of the people as demonstrated by the USSR.
Aspartame has only been shown to worsen depression in those who suffer from depression. It also is a trigger for migraines. I gotta stop drinking diet coke.
Geez, this whole thread is depressing. Better go find my dope.
Oh, it's true.
Check out this provision and then answer my question that follows:
"The reporting requirement extends to mental health professionals, defined in the law as four professions physicians (including psychiatrists), psychologists, registered nurses, or licensed clinical social workers."
How in the hell is an RN qualified to report on MY mental health??
What if I piss her off with my attitude about not completing her "gun check" questions in my medical history?
I can avoid shrinks and social workers, but Nurses are a bit harder to avoid!
"Geez, this whole thread is depressing. Better go find my dope."
Find some for the rest of us while you're at it!
The Freepers who rail against anti-anxiety medication are clearly in favor of this confiscation.
Remember, in NY a possession or carry permit may be revoked at any time for no reason. Permit issuance is at the sole discretion of the issuing judge, and may be reversed at any time without cause and without notification.
With the centralized health record storage requirements in obummercare, this process will go much smoother.
Nothing against registered nurses, but they are by no definition "mental health professionals". Talk about twisting terms.
"Out here, pilgrim, a man learns to solve his own problems."
That advice may save your freedom. Doctors will soon be government informants under Obamacare. Your answers on their questionnaires and your attitude toward those questions, will be noted & made a matter of official record.
If you're on psychotropic meds, then you are if armed a menace to society. When it comes to guns, you can no longer have those things. You must hand them over to the state.
Don't resist us, comrade. Please don't resist.
I forgot to caption the picture above. Escape From New Yawk.

We at Denim Therapy are always talking about finding the perfect fit and style for people of any shape and size. Let's clarify a couple of things: when companies call themselves "big and tall," it means they offer clothing for tall men, men who are just huge all-around, and stout men. Think about those brawny or towering athletic types! These size terms are often referred to as "extended sizes" or "outsize," because they don't fall within the "average" size range of stock that most retailers would carry.
Featured: Jacamo men's button fly jeans (£25) in a slim, tapered fit; Ben Sherman men's regular jeans (£55) in a straight leg fit; and Farah men's jeans (on sale for £28) in a skinny fit, all available at Jacamo.co.uk.
In the U.K., big and tall mens clothing retailer Jacamo, offers a fashion forward one-stop shopping experience with jeans moderately priced from £40.00 to £65.00. In the U.S., large retail chains like Banana Republic have also expanded into the big & tall mens denim sector, and most other popular retailers only offer "tall" sizes (read: tall and slim).

In this book, Ms. Vetsch gives Dodge City a reputation of civilized gentility not often found in romances about the Queen of the Cattle Towns. History in the hands of a master storyteller is displayed. With many deep emotions, in this work the author weaves a powerful tale of conflict, suspense and romance. Kudos to Ms. Vetsch for capturing this historical era and giving readers a novel filled with wonderful characters, several unique subplots, and a surprising twist on the last page.
Set against a backdrop of historic Dodge City, Erica Vetsch utilizes the town's rich history to create an enthralling historical romance.

But when one of the former gang members shows up in town, Addy and Miles are simultaneously shaken to the core, wondering exactly what the smooth talking criminal might potentially reveal. After Addy's livelihood is practically ruined, a shopkeeper turns up dead, and an entire town is put on edge, Addy and Miles painfully realize that the truth needs to be told, even at the expense of their newfound affection for each other.
"A Bride's Portrait of Dodge City, Kansas" is a thoroughly enjoyable read from beginning to end with its likable characters, clever plot and western romance; proving once again that "a picture is worth a thousand words."

The reader feels they are walking the streets of Dodge City. The characterization is well-written and we get several characters' points of view as it is important. We see our hero's insecurity, yet also see him as a strong character. The heroine is someone to fall in love with and we learn more of her past as we read. We also see that she can stand up and be strong. I enjoyed that the author brought in a historical figure, Bat Masterson. This was a figure I grew up hearing about through history classes and readings, and Ms Vetsch remained true to the historical character, yet made him real.

Ms. Vetsch skillfully paints each character in such a way that you can almost see them before your very eyes. Every character was unique and had their own kind of charm. It's not often that I find a book with such good character development of such a vast array of the characters. My favorite character was Miles Carr, I couldn't help but relate to his hesitancy to speak up, and his longing to be a bolder witness for Christ. I think that everyone--if they're being honest--has felt that they should have been a better witness at some time in their life, and I liked how Ms. Vetsch put that part of Miles' character into the story.
The pages turned swiftly, and I couldn't help but be completely transported by Ms. Vetsch's lively writing style, her word choices were spot on, and fit the situations to a "T."
Overall, this book has it all action, adventure, mystery, romance, and great characters. Someone would be hard out not to enjoy this book, I know that I did :) Alot of research was obviously put into this book, with details that bring this book to life. I heartily recommend this book, and look forward to reading more books from this author in the future :D
Final Rating: 5 out of 5
I received this book from the publisher through Netgally in return for an honest review. The copy I received may not have been the final copy of this book, so keep it in mind that changes may have been made to the final edition. Thanks :)
IolaNew ZealandAge: 45-54Gender: female4 Stars Out Of 5An Enjoyable Historical from a Photographerââ¬â¢s ViewDecember 20, 2011IolaNew ZealandAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 4Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Addie was forced to move states after a relationship with the wrong man cost Addie her reputation, which impacted on her uncle's photography business where she worked as a photographer. In Dodge City, the shock death of her uncle leaves her alone and with just ninety days to pay back the mortgage on their new photography business. But when a new businessman arrives in town, Addie fears her past might be catching up with her. Her secrets will affect her friendship with Fran, who works at the local mercantile, and her might-be-more friendship with Miles Carr, the new Sherrif's Deputy.
Miles has problems of his own. He is a new Christian who is afraid to speak openly about his faith, and he too has secrets from his past, secrets that might affect his ability to do his job here in Dodge. These fears are confirmed when old acquaintance Vin Rutter arrives in town. Meanwhile, Fran is dreaming of the handsome adventurer who will marry her and take her away from her mundane life - if he can get past her older brothers and Jonas, a childhood friend who has ruined that friendship by announcing that he is in love with her. Fran meets Vin Rutter in the mercantile, and thinks her prayers might just have been answered_
Now, this is another one of those books where I am not sure about the title. Sure, it is about a portrait photographer in Dodge City, Kansas, but there is no bride in the story. Hmm_ Ignore the title, and enjoy the book. I did. It was a fun read, and although a couple of the misunderstandings could have been sorted out much earlier if the characters just spoke to each other, it all ended happily ever after. I particularly liked the originality of the heroine's occupation - the author had obviously researched early photography, which added to the interest of what could otherwise have been just another historical western romance.

"Bandolino shoes are the perfect combination of stylish and comfortable. They are just GREAT for work, and I wear these to work. Although the heel is high, it's a wedge and super comfortable, so I'm able to walk around at work without having sore feet by the end of the day. Just be careful as suede gets awful dirty and is a pain to clean. I do my best to keep them clean, and have been wearing them for several months! GREAT deal."

"I usually wear a Medium width size 7, but if I find the 7 too tight, I can go up to a 7.5 and be very comfortable. These have excellent cushioning, but they were very narrow and too long even in a 7, so I won't even order them in a 7.5. Excellent choice for someone with narrow feet however."

"A very comfortable shoe for both casual and casual working environments. They are very comfortable to wear and I feel like they should be in the opening scene of the original Footloose movie. Very happy with these shoes."

PRICE, UTAH-Kenneth Nick Harmon has completed his mortal labors and has been called to rest. He passed peacefully on May 9, 2010 at home. His immediate family affectionately knew him as "Herb."
Kenneth was born in Moroni, Utah on Feb. 1, 1932 to Samuel Joseph Harmon and Jenavie Boren Harmon.
He married Velma Kelly on June 16, 1956 and shared the rest of his life with his little bride.
Herb served in the 82ND Airborne from 1952-1954. When he returned from the service he worked in the Park City silver mines and at Geneva Steel Works before finally being able to become a union pipefitter-welder with Pipefitters Local 57. He was proud of his union membership in Local 57 and then the later consolidated Utah Local 140.
Herb was proud of his work and he instilled in his family his work ethic. His forced early retirement due to health issues was the only real suffering he endured.
Herb was very proud of his family and their accomplishments. He wouldn't say it but if you saw his Cheshire Cat grin when his family did well you knew he was proud.
He always enjoyed hunting, fishing and watching his grandchildren at sporting events.
Herb is survived by his wife Velma-Price, children- Brad (Lori) Salt Lake, Cindy (Frank) Burdick-Price, Heidi (Steve) Zamantakis-Helper and Scott (Candie) Phoenix, Ariz., 11 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, sisters Beth (Al) Pollock-Arizona, Gwenneth (Jack) Taylor-Utah, and Kathy H Thomas-N.C. along with brothers Jack, Arizona and James Lee (Glenda), N.C.
Preceded in death by grandson Kevin Harmon.
Graveside services were held at Wallsburg Cemetery, Wallsburg, Utah on Saturday, May 15 at 1 p.m. Arrangements entrusted to Mitchell Funeral Home where friends and family are welcome to share memories of Kenneth at www.mitchellfuneralhome.net.
The family request that in lieu of flowers donations be made to the Shriners Hospitals for Children Intermountain.

Spring is the season to start sprucing up your yard or garden. This is also the time of the year when injuries can happen if lifting is not done properly. It is important to keep in mind proper body mechanics while working with a shovel, wheelbarrow, rake, etc.
Here are a few helpful tips to keep you safe while working in your yard or garden:
For a patient with back pain, simple activities like sitting, standing and walking can be difficult. Back pain symptoms can range in intensity from a slight "tight feeling" in the back to severe back and/or leg pain. Physical therapy offers many treatment options for patients with back pain. When pain levels are high, patients can be apprehensive about physical therapy and exercise, but a physical therapist can develop a plan to help patients overcome that apprehension.
Are you reading this on a computer? Are you seated at a desk? If so, this blog is for you!
Although working at a computer doesn't sound like dangerous work, it can cause repetitive strain injuries (like carpal tunnel syndrome). Posture-related problems may also occur – like pain in the back, neck, shoulders, arm, wrist and hand.
Do you have back pain? Do you experience joint pain? The first step toward regaining function may be a visit to a physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) physician.
PM&R physicians are specialists who complete four years of residency training in the diagnosis, non-operative treatment and rehabilitation of neurological and musculoskeletal disorders that impact function.
Most people spend much time carefully choosing the clothing they wear. They pick outfits based on the event they're attending or the weather outside.
Often, footwear is seen as an afterthought - an accessory to an outfit. But this is a mistake. For comfort and safety, you should put as much thought into what shoes go on your feet as to what clothing goes on your body.
What do running, shoveling snow and sitting at your office desk have in common? These are all activities that you should not begin until you've stretched properly.
I know. Stretching before basic yard or office work sounds like overkill. But stretching can help you avoid aching muscles and painful injuries. In fact, you should consider stretching before many daily activities, including gardening, computer work or other repetitive stress tasks (i.e., line work at a factory).
It's cold outside and the snow is starting to pile up. You've strapped on your boots, wrapped your scarf tight and pulled on your gloves. You've dusted off that snow shovel, and you are ready to tackle the snowy sidewalks.
Do you have pain in your back? You're not the only one. Statistics show that 8 out of every 10 people suffer from some sort of back pain at some time in their life.
The causes of back pain are varied, but some are very common – poor posture, poor body mechanics, a sedentary lifestyle, weight or trauma (i.e., car accidents, falls, etc.). Luckily, there are easy ways to minimize the possibility of back pain.
Back pain is a real problem for millions of Americans. In fact, it is estimated that 50 to 75 percent of adults will experience back pain at some point in their lives(1). Some people will have stiffness in their backs, while others may have radiating leg pain, weakness or altered sensation. Those with back pain have an increased chance of the symptoms recurring.
If you suffer from back pain, there is hope. One treatment option for back pain is the McKenzie Method.

The biggest amateur sports event in Canadian history set for May 17-22 in Toronto
OTTAWA- The largest single amateur sports competition in Canadian history is set to take place May 17-22, 2012 as Volleyball Canada will host the 2012 Canadian Open Volleyball Championships in Toronto.¸
Over 800 teams will compete in 14 categories with players ranging in age from 12 to 65 years old on 54 courts at the 350,000 square foot Direct Energy Centre in Toronto.
There will be eight national championships in total (15U/16U/Adults (senior and Masters) Divisions and 14U/17U/18U Divisions) totalling more than 45,000 athletes, coaches, officials, organizers, volunteers and spectators in attendance.
It will take three full days just to set up the venue.
"The 2012 Canadian Open will be the largest volleyball tournament to take place under one roof,'' said Volleyball Canada's president Hugh Wong. ''Imagine, 10,000 athletes playing volleyball in a single venue. Because we are not a high-visibility sport, the public and even many of our members do not realize how big our sport has grown.
''This event will showcase the popularity of our sport and give us that visibility. Every participant will have bragging rights to having been to the first one ever because we don't know when the next one will be. I cannot express in words how excited I am about this event."
Event passes will go on sale shortly. Passes will be available for daily admission, three days admission and full six-day tournament admission.
The project has been in the works since 2008.
"The 2012 Canadian Open started as a dream over a decade ago and to see it finally come to fruition is very exciting,'' said Mark Eckert, Volleyball Canada's executive director. ''To see our volleyball community come together is what every National Sport Organization strives for. The 2012 Canadian Open is shaping up to be a world-class event and will reset the bar for volleyball in Canada. "
Volleyball Canada is currently accepting applications from volunteers to work at the event.

On March 29, the legal process ended for a former Englewood High School teacher accused of having a sexual relationship with a male student.
Alexandra Elizabeth McLean, 28, received no jail time as she entered guilty pleas to two misdemeanor charges stemming from her relationship with a 17-year-old male student in November 2011.
She appeared before 18th Judicial District Judge Marilyn Antrim to enter the guilty pleas.
According to information from the judicial district, the fact McLean had been extremely truthful and remorseful about what happened and the fact that it is unusual for a psychosexual evaluation not to recommend treatment were among the reasons she was allowed to plead to the lesser charges.
When she appeared in court, McLean entered the guilty plea to the misdemeanor sexual assault charge and specifically to a subsection of the statute where the victim was younger than 17 and the defendant was more than 10 years older than the victim — even though the victim was two months from his 18th birthday.
The judge sentenced McLean to two years' deferred judgment on that count. Successful completion of the deferred judgment will result in the misdemeanor sexual assault count being dismissed.
However, she also entered a guilty plea without deferred judgment to misdemeanor second-degree official misconduct. The record can't be sealed, she can never teach again and the charge will not be dismissed when she completes probation.
She was sentenced to supervised probation for two years; she is not permitted to contact children under the age of 18 or the victim during her probation; and she must register as a sex offender.
Another condition of her probation is that she must remain in therapy, and the therapist is to provide monthly reports to the probation officer. However, she was not ordered to undergo sex-offender treatment.
All other conditions of probation are up to her probation officer.
McLean had faced two Class 3 felony counts of sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of authority,
The case began in late 2011 when Englewood police notified the school district they were investigating a sexual assault incident that apparently happened Nov. 18, which was the start of Thanksgiving break.
Brian Ewert, Englewood school superintendent, said that in accordance with policy, McLean was placed on administrative leave on Nov. 28, 2011, and on Dec. 8, the district received her resignation
The charges were filed by the 18th Judicial District Attorney's Office, based on the material gathered in the Englewood police investigation.
McLean, with her lawyers, turned herself in to authorities Jan. 4, 2012, and was advised of the charges she could face. She posted $25,000 bond and was released.
She waived preliminary hearing on March 6, 2012, and her lawyer's request for a continuance was granted when she was initially scheduled to be arraigned on May 21. On Aug. 13, the judge granted another arraignment continuance and reset the court appearance for Oct. 22, when the not-guilty plea was entered and the trial date set.

ASA and RNLI to extend swimming and beach safety initiative in 2014
The ASA, the national governing body for swimming, and the RNLI, the charity that saves lives at sea, have announced plans to extend their successful Swim Safe initiative.
During the summer of 2013 the two organisations teamed up to provide children, and their parents, with the opportunity to understand and learn about the differences between swimming in a pool and the challenges of swimming in an open water environment.
Over 2,300 children aged 7-14 years took part in the five-week pilot, which was completely free and included in-water tuition in a structured improver swimming lesson with accredited ASA teachers in Bude Sea Pool, and beach safety advice from RNLI lifeguards.
Next summer the two organisations will work in partnership again to run Swim Safe at a minimum of three beach locations in England in order to equip more children with the valuable knowledge and skills to have fun but stay safe in and around the sea.
Each year, children account for around two-thirds of incidents RNLI lifeguards respond to on some of the UK's busiest beaches.
Jon Glenn, ASA Head of Youth & Community said, "Some of the tragedies the country saw in 2013 were a result of children not understanding about the differences between swimming in a swimming pool and swimming in an open water environment. We believe that Swim Safe is an effective intervention for ensuring that children get a practical understanding of the differences."
Will Stephens, RNLI Coastal Safety Manager, said, "We are delighted to be able to expand Swim Safe in 2014. The pilot last year not only reached out to children and delivered vital safety lessons but also demonstrated the demand amongst parents for this type of practical education, which can be built into a fun and enjoyable session delivered by the ASA and the RNLI".
The 2014 Swim Safe locations will be announced early in the New Year.

The Harrisburg High School girls' basketball team matched last year's win total — through the teams' first eight games of the season — with a 65-58 overtime victory at Carterville Monday night.
The Bulldogs remain undefeated at 8-0 and will travel to Herrin tonight (Tuesday) followed by a home game against Massac County on Thursday and a Saturday matinee contest at Davenport with Hamilton County.
Ashley Ferrell led Harrisburg with 21 points, including a pair of pressure free throws with eight seconds left that gave the Bulldogs a 55-53 lead.
Shelby Boer tossed in 17 points, while Lindsey Murray also finished in double figures with 15 points.
Devan Jones had six points, while Whitney Younger had five points and Hanna Jones had a free throw.
Harrisburg held a three point lead with under a minute to go and had the ball. An illegal screen was called gave the ball back to Carterville.
The Lions came down after a timeout and hit a game-tying 3-pointer with 20 seconds left.
"It was the same play that got us last year, in the same situation," Harrisburg head coach Jake Stewart said. "I thought we defended it well, the girl just made the shot."
Ferrell was then fouled with just eight seconds to play and made both her free throws.
Carterville then scored on a running layup as time expired to force overtime.
In the extra session, Harrisburg outscored the Lions 10-3 and was up by two points with 30 seconds left in OT when Devan Jones pulled down a rebound off a missed free throw and made the outback to seal the game.
"That play might have been the play of the game," Stewart said. "Devan was just playing hard and made a huge play when we needed it most.
" Ashely, Lindsey, and Shelby do a great job of scoring the basketball. We also have players like Hanna, Malayna, Devin, and Whitney who do the little things that make our team complete."

I am feeling really good today, I just had flexology not sure how to spell it, done on my feet, and wow, they feel great, I think I am going to have this lady do my back as well for me. I met her through another friend of mine that also has MS. I feel Great Thanks to God for giving people like her the ability to make you feel better!
Good Afternoon, how ya doing today??
You're absolutely right! One just has to know how to keep the ones that they have made! Not too many people are into committing themselves in any relationship.
You're not the Elmer's glue, you're the Superglue. You have the gift that brings people together. Not too many people have that. Not saying that they are selfish, but some people have the gift of hospitality and they know how to use it while other have other gifts bestowed upon them. Like a good recipe, when you have the right ingredients together in the right amounts, everything makes a fantastic dish!
Sounds like when the people go to war, they have one another's back because they have to. To have a well-oiled machine or squad that 's the way it's got to be! I'm thankful God put you there for that to happen!
With you there, it doesn't surprise me. You're the glue that keeps everybody together.
That's always great to here!
Enjoy your workout. It's always a pleasure to talk with you, Big Sis! Looking forward to when we can talk again. Have fun with your reports! :)
I'm glad that your glasses are fixed and that last night was nice for you. Hope you have a great day at work and then afterwards. It's always nice to talk with you. God bless you.
Looking forward to it!
Okay. Hopefully the computer should be working better than it was earlier today. I shut it down shortly after we talked.
It would be nice to be out there. Hope you have a nice evening and get your glasses fixed so they won't give you any trouble. You have a great evening.
It's nice to be a blessing to others.
God bless you.
You're too kind!

Aluna Francis and George Reid struck a chord when they released their heavily anticipated original production, "Attracting Flies," under their moniker Aluna George. Lurking in the background of all the instantaneous hype for this new track was a remix from the Harlem Shake sensation, Bauuer. Looking to shed the stigma behind his internet craze, Baauer steps up to the plate with a huge edit to the English electronic groups new single.
My biggest worry when I saw Baauer's name on the remix bill was that the vocals were going to get drowned out with his signature trap sound. He dispels my preconceived notions, though, with a more sophisticated bass sound that still maintains the Bauuer bounce we all know and love. Also set to take on "Attracting Flies" with their own renditions are Jamie Jones and S-Type. You can purchase this Bauuer remix at midnight tonight on Beatport, but Aluna George's debut album isn't expected to hit stores until July 1st.

Thank you for the compliment. I saw the birds flying around, but I seldom can catch them in the pictures. Good thing I had my camera set on it's highest 10 megapixel resolution so I was able to catch all the detail. I'm glad you enjoyed my photos. I must admit I was a little nervous with all the constant thunder going on over head. I didn't see any lighting flashes so I knew it was all cloud to cloud lighting, but still, I knew there was the possibility of a cloud to ground flash. Most of the activity was to the North and East of Shakopee (very East end of Scott County) so I wasn't surprised to learn later that all of the Eastern counties got the main blast of the storm that I photographed.

The Life of a Buffalo Sports Fan
by Tim Wenger

If you're from Buffalo, I hope this is interesting. But it shouldn't be new. And if you're not from Buffalo, this writing may explain the attitude of many a Buffalo sports fan.
This is the land where we judge the success of our seasons by how close we get to almost making it to the playoffs.
For the past few weeks at work, I've been hearing the chatter in the hallways that goes something like this: "We're only four points out of the 8th spot" or "If we win tonight and two other teams lose, we might be within three points of the 8th spot"! And then there is my favorite conversation on the radio that suggests we're better off simply losing out, losing our remaining games, to make certain we have a good shot in the draft. How pathetic.
But it doesn't end there. It's relentless and it happens year after year. It happens in football season and in hockey season. And if that's not enough, it even happens during the off season. We hope for change at the deadlines and in the drafts and our hopes are most often dashed. We certainly can't forget the 24/7 Mario Williams watch can we? Days went by and we sat on the edge of our seats wondering if we would win the prize. This was it! Mario could be the off season ticket to the NFL post season. We all know how that went.
In other towns the trading deadlines and drafts are times to bolster their teams and make them better. In this town, those days are better than the regular season! These pivotal days offer us hope that maybe we will make the moves that will help us finally bring home the championship hardware. Again, hopes dashed.
I can't criticize the brass of the Bills and Sabres for not trying. They've spent sizeable amounts of money and invested in the teams. But the formulas just seem cursed. Think about it. Wide right! No goal! John Rigas! Mario Williams! And that's just a handful in the bag of Buffalo sports bitter pills. Oh, and don't be caught saying we missed Briere and Drury after we let them slip away. That's truly taboo.
Sure, we all want a Superbowl or Stanley Cup championship. But I'd settle for just being more excited about our teams during their respective seasons than on days like today, the NHL trade deadline. Today is a day we hear Buffalo Sabres fans hoping for a trade involving the players who once brought us such great joys and hopes. Who could imagine, just a year or two ago, talk of trades involving Pominville, Vanek or Miller. Now it's just part of the Buffalo sports conversation.
I know great teams are built over years and I know it takes bold moves on days like today to lay the foundation for a true championship team. But forgive me for being from Buffalo and saying "we've been here and done this before". And we always buy into the hope that it WILL work. Let's hope it does.....this time.
But we'll have to do it with one or two fewer of our favorites here in "Pominville".

Let me know what you think.....
It's got to be especially poignant ...
... for the loyal WBEN listener to also follow Buffalo sports. For instance, the insistance that the people the caliber of George W Bush, Sarah Palin, Wayne LaPierre, Willard Romney, Michele Bachmann etc etc etc are in any way worth supporting is exactly the same as saying Aaron Maybin, John McCargo, JP Losman are superstars. Best of luck with your continuing delusions.

Skip to comments.Irish company challenges scientists to test 'free energy' technology [Oh Yeah!]
Posted on 08/18/2006 7:37:36 AM PDT by PatrickHenry
click here to read article
Cold Fusion alert. Extraordinary claims, require extraordinary proof alert too.
Cold fusion no, Hot air, yes.
As bazaar as this sounds, I don't see a problem with requesting a review process. Debunk the dang thing and move on.
Exxon hit squads will be coming after this guy. ;o)
This is not passing the smell test even slightly. Nothing wrong with a review of it, I suppose, if only to get the kooks to be quiet. Reminds me of that cold fusion debacle a few years back.
I suspect it's getting energy from somewhere, if it works.
I agree - if they want a rigorous examination then give them one. If, against all odds, they are actually on to something then all the better.
I prefer investing in Lotto tickets. Better odds.
They could bootstrap their investment capital by selling off the surplus energy they already have.
This is absolute bullcrap. It's an accepted and proveable Gaussian theory that the line integral around any closed surface is 0. If this guy thinks he can get energy out of that, he's fooling himself. Nice try though.
Well, the proper application for the cold fusion would be to subject deuterium saturated palladium sponge [in deuterium atmosphere] to a hypersaturative compression, like from chemical explosion shockwave. One would get an H-warhead on the cheap.
This could be big. The same sort of thing led to Post-Its.
They don't need "credible, academic validation in the public domain", they need a working product.
It's not free energy, they're stealing it from a neighboring dimension - and man are those guys going to be mad when they find out!
PURE BS> advertising gimmick, kinda like the "IT" which later became the (i forgot the name of that 2-wheeled stabilized cart)
They write "Steorn has decided to publish its challenge in The Economist because of the breadth of its readership. "We chose it over a purely scientific magazine simply because we want to make the general public aware that this process is about to commence and to generate public support, awareness, interest etc for what we are doing."
They chose not to write a scientific article and submit it to a technical journal for peer review which is the best way to get their technology reviewed, rather than this nonsense of generating a public demand and pressure.
You don't get something from nothing and if it sounds too good to be true>>>.....
Has this discovery been reported in any credible scientific journal?? The nondescript article says very little--what energy is obtained?? Is it kinetic, heat, chemical, potential, what the hell kind is it??
The conservation of energy law has been valid for many centuries and reading some article about a perpetual energy source is way over the top for me.
Where are they getting the magnetic field? If they are using the Earth's it's too weak locally to be of much use.
All they need is for some physicist to get ahold of this. It'll collapse, but it'll be fun watching.
Oh, they did the right thing: they generated millions of dollars in free advertising by leveraging the world's news services, and if they get lucky, they may get tens of thousands of dollars in free consulting. Good business move.
Of course, if the thing actually worked, they wouldn't need free advertising or free consulting. They could just sell energy back to the power company and finance their operations that way. They wouldn't need investors, and they wouldn't need the approval or even the attention of the scientific community.
If I had a free energy machine, I wouldn't be concerned with whether anybody else believed it worked. Hell, I'd be trying to keep it quiet.
Steorn is making three claims for its technology:
1. The technology has a coefficient of performance greater than 100%.
2. The operation of the technology (i.e. the creation of energy) is not derived from the degradation of its component parts.
3. There is no identifiable environmental source of the energy (as might be witnessed by a cooling of ambient air temperature).
The sum of these claims is that our technology creates free energy.
I call BS.
It's a perpetual motion machine with a slick website.
Accepted, yes, for now. Perhaps what they have done is run the primary energy source produced, through an inverse phase re combiner. This would permit the generated energy to be transmogrified and fused with the refracted binary containment field which is a by product of the magnetic mega phase re capacitor and thereby transfused and increased by the actions of the previously mentioned inverse phase re combiner.
This is some serious shit. I wouldn't lie about this, believe me.
It's really the little people putting one over on the boys. Those Leprechauns. Such kidders.
Look at it this way: if you can power things, wire up your prototype so you can disconnect from the power grid. Use the money saved from buying that power to finance your own company and file the patents to make yourself rich. Heck, if you can do that, form your own power company and start selling power to the neighbors. You would be a billionaire in no time, and you wouldn't need scientists to "test your idea", since it would be blatantly obvious to everyone except liberal democrats that it worked.
You don't have to even do it on a large scale. If you could create a device that replaces batteries permanently, you could make billions off of that alone, not to mention selling the rights to incorporate your technology into every powered appliance in the world!
But, they never do this. They always want other people to look at it, and then try to get "investors" to put money into it. Then they are always "just this close" to making it work, and if only they had some more investors . . .
And the cycle begins again. They want more people to look at it, and then they need more money to "perfect" their device. . .
There goes the earnings on my Energy Sector Mutual Fund!
Free energy; who would have thought it possible. Silly us.
God has provided; it is up to us to dicover what He has provided.
Heat generation? Einstein talked about what he called the ethos. It was the space between matter. According to him, the ethos bends when it meets matter. Add the electrical charge from the magnets to the ethos equation, and then what? From a quantum point of view, what would happen if this ethos could be built up with an electrical charge and wrapped up in itself - like tightening a super string rubber band?
I'd like to know if they really have something - for real.
It would destroy the worlds economy,though, and it would cause one heck of an oil rich Arab Jihad! The Arab nations would have nothing to sell but sand.
Why do they need the technology to be validated? If it works, just start building batteries or generators using the technology and the market will validate it.
Instead, years pass looking for validation until the "science" falls into obscurity.
I've wondered something for a while that perhaps you can answer. How can space probes etc. use planets to slingshot to a higher speed (perhaps the MSM just reports wrong)? I understand using a planet to execute a turn, but increasing speed seems impossible, as gravity should have the same effect outbound as inbound.
They chose a popular news magazine rather than a scientific journal because they will be exposed more slowly this way. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
"And while inventing Post-Its we discovered free energy. Well, I discovered free energy; Michelle decided what color it should be..."
"This is some serious shit. I wouldn't lie about this, believe me."
Serious eh? Might it originate from the matter existing at the excretory opening at the lower extremity of the male bovine alimentary canal?
It's actually the investor part that makes me think it would be wiser to debunk the thing than let some suckers be conned. Look if people are that stupid they maybe deserve it, but a good debunking could save them from themselves. Or maybe not... LOL.
Couldn't you find a close-up? ;->
Omg. They really built up curiosity with that one! It turned out to be some kind of stupid little scooter. They even had visions of cities being built just to accommodate it. That was a huge let down.
Wha? C'mon? Whaddaya mean?
That's just what I was thinking! /s
Well, like I always say, "Not only are a fool and his money soon parted, but a fool and his money SHOULD be parted, because there is nothing more dangerous than a fool with money"
Planets are not standing still. They can be used to pull the probe along.
Stranger things have happened. But as the man said above: opening this up to testing would be a good thing.
Elementary (but clever) calculus.
OK. I'll trade you a set of your blueprints for my deed to the Brooklyn Bridge.
If it were real, government would be falling over itself rushing to tax the new technology and eventually ban further development of it.
Electromagnetism is still vastly mysterious to most, and yet we have only 5% of our students enrolling in science/engineering in college, which is where students get to check out some of EM hands-on with useful equipment. EM is going to become even more mysterious to even more as a result, and we will find that most will not be able to understand the first thing about the topic.

Mt. Juliet City Manager Kenny Martin has appointed Andy Garrett the new Public Safety Director, and James Hambrick as the new Chief of Police.
The position of Public Safety Director was recently created to oversee animal control, fire suppression and law enforcement. Garrett, who has been serving as Mt. Juliet Chief of Police since July 2008, will be involved in the implementation of the Mt. Juliet Fire Department, including the hiring of its new Fire Chief. The position will work in direct connection with the Police and Fire Chiefs, to ensure and improve emergency services and life safety operations under the Public Safety division.
Hambrick has been serving as Deputy Chief of Police since October 2006. He will be the sixth Chief of Police. He is a 17-year veteran of the Mt. Juliet Police Department, and will lead 43 sworn and 16 non-sworn personnel.
"We wish both of these gentlemen the best in their new positions, and look forward to the new path in the Public Safety and Animal Control Services for the citizens and Mt. Juliet community and those we so honorably serve," said City Manager Kenny Martin in a statement Wednesday.
Martin said that he met with both Garrett and Hambrick Tuesday and both men were excited about the opportunity. Garrett gave up $2,000 a year of his salary to Hambrick because of the responsibilities of the new positions.

(Arendal/Berlin - 18 April) From 23rd to 28th April, 21 young people from 15 European Countries will participate in the Wadden Sea Climate Training, and experience first-hand the world's most important inter-tidal zone on the frontline of climate change. The region is an important testing ground for policies and measures to adapt to climate change, the effects of which are already being felt in the ecosystem.
The participants, aged between 18 and 30 years, will examine the environmental, cultural and socio-economic impacts of climate change on the Wadden Sea ecosystem, and use their experiences and acquired knowledge to encourage their peers to become environmentally responsible citizens.
The training, organized by the British Council in collaboration with experts from GRID-Arendal and with the support of Youth in Action, is taking place on Langeness, a low-lying island in the Schleswig-Holsteinisches Wattenmeer National Park (Germany). By visiting the mudflats, saltmarshes and other ecosystems of the island and surrounding areas, the participants will learn about the challenges facing the Wadden Sea and sustainable development in this complex region.
A major emphasis of the training is peer-to-peer learning and networking. Together, the participants will share and develop ideas to respond to the complex issues and communicate their experiences through social media, newspapers and film. Participants will be encouraged to develop projects under the EU's Youth in Action programme, which will be implemented locally after their return. They will also become part of the British Council's global Climate Generation network, which empowers young people to bring about change locally and build the global movement towards a safer future.
The participants and trainers will be visiting the Multimar Wattforum (http://www.multimar-wattforum.de/) from approximately 10 am to 4pm on Friday 27 April, and welcome visits by journalists or other individuals interested in this training. Please take contact beforehand with Julia (see below).

Perfect Fit and Immaculate Condition
"Was worried that this size in wide would be too unattractive looking for my hubby but it fit him perfectly (he normally wears a regular width). And the shoes arrived perfectly packed , in immaculate condition with no markings. I know shoes do get worn out but you bought a new pair so you expect a new pair! (not a slightly worn one). DSW, it was a great online shopping experience!"

Great Classic
"I bought these shoes for my husband for his birthday and he absolutely loves them! I cant get him to take them off...wears them everywhere and says they are extremely comfy. Now im thinking about a pair for me!I gave it 4 stars because I wish the laces were more durable. I wanted another pair that had cloth laces, but they didnt come in wide, so I got these which have the leather laces and my husband is kind of rough on laces."

Beautiful shoes!
"Sperry Top-Sider has always been one of my favorite brands. I'v had mine for 4 years running, so I got these for a friend to try. He loves them! He says they are very comfortable and uniquely stylish; other brands do not compare. I highly recommend these if you are looking for a long-lasting shoe that is perfect for both casual and business-casual dress!"

Bought for my son
"He is on his feet all day at work and was wearing sneakers. He started having some back problems so I suggested he buy some "real" shoes. He loves these because they are comfortable but still casual."

text: Our solar energy system certified in Pennsylvania and Maryland. We are now already over 8 MWh total generation, so we're expecting to see 1-2 SRECs for each of the summer months. Through the generation and SREC sales alone, we've already generated about $2,700; and factoring in the tax credits for this year, we've already paid off over $10,500 for the installed system. At this rate, with our conservation efforts, in the summer months we may get to the point where we're actually generating a credit.

Northampton host Gloucester at Franklin's Gardens with just a point separating the two teams in the Premiership table.
Northampton Saints host Gloucester at Franklin's Gardens on Saturday with just a point separating the two teams in the Premiership table.
With both clubs still in the hunt for a top four spot director of rugby Jim Mallinder says that it is important that the home players are up for the challenge.
"After four weeks of cup action we are looking forward to getting back to the Aviva Premiership," he commented.
"We're well placed in the league table and close to the top four, and with nine games left there is everything to play for.
"Although we played Gloucester a fortnight ago this will be a different game. Both teams will have quite a few changes from that day, and there is always an edge when league points are up for grabs.
"It's going to be a tough contest and as with every week we're going to have to be at our best."
Meanwhile, Jonny May and Nick Wood both return having been on England Saxons duty for the past two weeks and are both named in the Gloucester starting line-up.
Other changes to the team that started against Bath last weekend see Darren Dawidiuk, Will James, Akapusi Qera and Dan Robson all come in.
Looking back on that LV= Cup game of two weeks ago, Davies insisted this week that only so much can be read into the display.
"We kept our powder dry going into that game, we've got a few things going into this game which we've held back," he said.
"There were elements of that last game that I was really happy with, but it wasn't a complete performance by any stretch of the imagination.
"We were in the contest, very similar to last week, for a large period of the game before we dropped off."
Despite the two LV= Cup defeats of the last two weeks, Davies stressed that Gloucester are ready for the task in hand this weekend.
"It's been a complete refocus this week, and a re-organisation of what we've been looking at. And this has been planned. We'd have preferred to be going into this one off the back of two wins, but we're pretty clear about what we need to do.
"Over the past few weeks, we've played a bit more expansively than we have so far this season. The biggest problem we've got at the moment is discipline and that's fundamental to our game. We have to get that right."
Form: Northampton Saints' last four games in all competitions have all been won by the home side on the day. The Saints have won just one of their last three Aviva Premiership Rugby fixtures at Franklin's Gardens: against London Welsh, 23-16, on 24 November. Gloucester suffered their biggest home loss for over three years with their 5-32 defeat to Bath in the Anglo-Welsh Cup on Saturday. Gloucester have lost their last three away matches in the Premiership. The two clubs have already met twice this season with the Saints victorious on both occasions in the Premiership and Anglo-Welsh Cup. Gloucester's only win at Franklin's Gardens against Northampton since 2007 was 18-16 in February 2011.
The teams:
Northampton Saints: 15 James Wilson, 14 Ken Pisi, 13 George Pisi, 12 Dom Waldouck, 11 Jamie Elliott, 10 Stephen Myler, 9 Lee Dickson, 8 GJ van Velze, 7 Ben Nutley, 6 Phil Dowson (capt), 5 Mark Sorenson, 4 Samu Manoa, 3 Tom Mercey, 2 Mike Haywood, 1 Soane Tonga'uiha.
Replacements: 16 Ross McMillan, 17 Alex Waller, 18 Paul Doran Jones, 19 James Craig, 20 Rhys Oakley, 21 Martin Roberts, 22 Ryan Lamb, 23 Tom May.
Gloucester: 15 Rob Cook, 14 Charlie Sharples, 13 Mike Tindall (c), 12 Tim Molenaar, 11 Jonny May, 10 Ryan Mills, 9 Dan Robson, 8 Sione Kalamafoni 7 Akapusi Qera, 6 Tom Savage, 5 Will James, 4 Lua Lokotui, 3 Rupert Harden, 2 Darren Dawidiuk, 1 Nick Wood.
Replacements: 16 Tommaso d'Apice, 17 Dan Murphy, 18 Yann Thomas, 19 Peter Buxton, 20 Matt Cox, 21 Jimmy Cowan, 22 Shane Monahan, 23 Martyn Thomas.
Date: Saturday, February 9
Venue: Franklin's Gardens
Kick-off: 12.30 GMT
Referee: Martin Fox
