Not all pads are same - This is BETTER
By Dr. Kent
from Round Rock, TX
About Me High-end Shopper
This is not just a pad of paper. I prefer it to other because the lines are college rule, that is, narrower; and the top is double perforated, which means that tearing the pages off is easier. The pages do not rip, each sheet comes off smoothly.
Love the double thickness backing!
By Melanie
from Sacramento, CA
Love that the backing is sturdy enough to hold in your arm and take notes. I think the lines are too close to each other, but that may be a personal preference. Overall great product.

Favorite legal pad
By Leslie an Educator
from Chicago, IL
About Me Quality Oriented
This is my favorite writing pad. It has an excellent stiff back so it doesn't bend inappropriately if you are writing without the benefit of a desk or table. It is as easy to write on the last sheet as it is the first. I am very glad to have found this product as others have been less satisfactory. Thank you Staples for carrying this.
Looks and works great!
By WeSendU

Assembly was not hard just very different from other wheels we have added-don't think just do what it says do- and you should be alright.Wheels just twist on-not alot of turning like other wheel applications. Surprisingly good looking and functional!!
File Cabinet

The drawers are roomy, but I wish they opened farther than they do. The drawers need a sliding extender to be able to open farther. I really like the caster on the file drawer.

Best notepad ever
By 2fast4u
from Whitewater, WI
I use this to take notes in class. I slip it into the front pocket of my binder to transport it. In class I will right on just the pad and when I have a page filed out, I clip it into my binder. Taking notes on loose leaf paper in a big binder on those small desks at college is too cumbersome.
College ruled top bind pad
By Skinny Lines

I use these types of pads of paper regularly and it's great to find them in college-rule style.

Good middle of the road product
By Tied to the Phone
I usually buy the TOPS DocketGold pads and tried these as an alternative. These are good for daily note taking that do not need to be saved or shared. Paper not as thick, well-lined or ink friendly as the DocketGold. But very good back ups.

Bear Creek students present 'Hamlet'
January 11, 2013 · 12:29 PM
Bear Creek School students will perform William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" on Jan. 17 and 19.
"Suit the action to the word, the word to the action, with this special observance, to not o'erstep the modesty of nature." These words, spoken in Act Three as Hamlet seeks to discover the truth of his father's death through a play-within-a-play, remind the performers to act naturally — not to overdramatize, which testifies to Hamlet's literary and dramatic stature and to the difficulty of grasping the complex and esoteric themes in Shakespeare's magnum opus, writes Bear Creek's Alicia Williams in a press release.
Continuing in Act Three, Hamlet encourages the players to hold "a mirror up to nature." In this, Shakespeare issues the most demanding of stage directions — to represent humanity as it is — glorious and fallen, caught between heaven and earth, fixed in the vexing nature of the human dilemma, Williams writes.
She adds: There have been many interpretations of this drama and there are just as many ways to paint Hamlet's character. Some see him as maddened by grief, others paralyzed by fear, still others as a scheming manipulator. Perhaps the truest challenge of the character and of the play itself is to portray Hamlet simply as a man — no more, no less. Many of the roles in Bear Creek's production of "Hamlet" are double-cast to allow more students to experience and stretch their dramatic muscle. The dark set provides opportunity to invent several unique visual effects and props cleverly engineered to maximize the space while providing hands-on experience for the many students who work behind the scenes.
Performances will be at 4 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 17 and at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 19.
All performances are open to the public. Tickets ($5 individual or $10 for the whole family) may be purchased at the door. The Bear Creek School Cornerstone Theater is at 8905 208th Ave. N.E. in Redmond. For more information, call (425) 898-1720 or visit www.tbcs.org.

Here is the final draft of your translation. I have fixed all the awkward spots. I hope this pleases you well. And for the blind:
Sakuma's servant girl, her gold-leafed coiffure all a-frizzle
Word has it she was straddling an elephant just the day before last.
I'm not sure how ethnographers handle the popular folktale of Otake the Dainichi Buddha, but it seems she is usually associated with the story of some temple saint, or with some maxim about not wasting rice grains in the kitchen sink. But whatever the socio-historic reasons may have been for preserving this peculiar Buddha story, the novel idea of transforming some lowly Sakuma housemaid into the Dainichi Nyorai never would have occurred to anyone had the Noh play Eguchi or the popular tales of Saigyō (1118-1190) and Courtesan Eguchi not preceded it. This legend of Eguchi no Kimi, the 12th-century courtesan who was transformed into the Fugen Boddhisatva upon mounting the white elephant, was like a dream long lost through the ages— lost, that is, until the Edoites figured out how to decipher and expand it by superimposing it onto their own contemporary reality. This talent for adaptation (or "creative misprision," if you will) came to them so naturally that they never knew it to be the working of an inherent wisdom that was simultaneously the secret art of living. "To hell with future generation should they take from us only our residual conceits!" they must have snickered; but the fact remains that the genius of these poets was to be lost entirely on the lumpish critics of later generations. Sadly, the literary world would never regard the Otake legend as anything more than senryū doggerel, and many a critic would make show of his "discernment" by denigrating the legend. We shouldn't, of course, take such judgments too seriously.
The phrase "gold-leafed" clearly refers to the Dainichi Buddha's coiffure. Yet is can also mean "undisputed," "certified," or "the real deal." Now add to this "all a-frizzle," and the phrase likely alludes to the popular belief that curly-haired women are exceptionally perverse. It might be well to recall here the following lines from the Noh play Eguchi.
And Eguchi, renowned for her amorous ways,
Her house where countless secret deeds,
All buried now like fossil wood. In this dwelling . . .
In the secret cant of Edo, a woman incapable of refusing a male suitor was called "loquat-leaf tea," likening her to the readily available decoction prescribed by physicians of the day. Otake was certainly one such decoction. Yet this maid to the Sakuma house was not the only "Otake" in Edo; in fact, nearly every kitchen in the city had its own little "Otake," each of whom found it hard at times not to provide a little "salvation" for the "ailing" men of the city. What I'm getting at is that Otake is a parody (mitate) of Courtesan Eguchi. And just as you're about to despair at the depths to which poor, fickle, and frail woman has sunk, Otake is transformed before your eyes into Courtesan Eguchi, heroine of the Noh play, and her kitchen is now Eguchi's "transient dwelling."
Told that you had renounced the world,
I thought you mustn't dwell on this transient dwelling.
That dwelling which "one begrudges, but in truth / begrudges not." Just then Eguchi mutates again, this time into the Bodhisattva seated astride the white elephant, though no sooner does she announce:
Having come this far, now I shall return . . .
Whereupon the distant figure resumes its original form, only to be approached immediately by a young man— perhaps one of Otake's regulars seeking another dose of "salvation." We might even say that this wandering rake has something about him of that old itinerant monk Saigyō.
It would be pointless to read some sort of ideology into this story of Otake traced over the face of Courtesan Eguchi. Nor would it be useful to stress simply that the Buddhist doctrine of dependent origination is at work in the story. You see, the Edoites were much more adept at "secularizing" (zokka) ideology than they were at excogitating it. For them, the notion that there could be non-correlating symbols was unthinkable, and it is perhaps for this that they have since been pejoratively labeled "ideologyless." In the case of the Otake legend, this "secularizing" device works twofold: on the one hand, it converts Eguchi (historical actuality) into Otake (symbol for the quotidian), while on the other it functions as a transformation tableau that depicts Otake when eyes are opened and the Dainichi Buddha when eyes are closed. That is to say, Otake is the Dainichi Buddha in "disguised form" (yatsushi). The Otake legend, too, taken as a whole, is precisely a contemporary retelling of the Buddhist doctrine of dependent origination. Appropriated onto Edo daily life, the recycled story takes root, having been substantiated long ago by the story of the historical Eguchi. The busy scholar will at once scrawl down "the true story of Otake," while the greedy mountebank pawns Otake's artifacts in some interim shed; but this notion of yatsushi loses its meaning the moment it is removed from the negotiations described above. At the same time, the notion of yatsushi acquires its vitality the moment it is rendered inseparable from its practice. Put into literary jargon, this method might be called "haikai-ification."
It is precisely this haikai-ification that runs through the successive artistic techniques of the Edo plebeians. Laborers of the spirit, they possessed a rare talent for producing art that would defy all subsequent systems of criticism. When the modern critic tries to confine the whole of Edo art to some newfangled theory, she demurely evades his grasp. For it is the Edoites— and not, as most scholars assume, their descendants— who deserve the label of "modern." Whether expert historiographer or dabbling dilettante, one is bound to lose his way inside their labyrinth. Their shadows, you see, skirt away too quickly for the rummaging scholar to apprehend, and their minds are all too lofty for the half-drunk dilettantes of later ages. To get a sense of the mysterious temper of their writings, we must discard all presuppositions which have lead us astray; indeed, we must reassess the supposed resourcefulness of those very presuppositions. So let's put aside for now questions of psychoanalysis and ideology, and focus instead on these specific techniques that have proved so capable of deception.
Although the second-rate art of senryū shares much with haikai, these elements are so mixed in with the smut that they are unsalvageable. Conventional wisdom has led us to believe that the only haikai movement that possessed any real transcendental power was the Bashō orthodoxy and its extension (always a euphemism for decline), and that the haikai of Edo— and particularly "mad verse" (kyōka)— should be thrown out along with senryū. But this, of course, is to throw the baby out with the bath water. Haikai's peculiar transformation can't be traced by simply following the fifty-three stations of the Tōkaidō highway from Bashō's Edo to Buson's Kyoto. Rather, it was the Edo plebeian who would spark the transformation, and propel it into a literary movement through the formal innovations of Tenmei kyōka.
However we define it, the kyōka of the Tenmei period was qualitatively different from that of any other era. Those who hold that the history of kyōka began in the Kansai region in early Tokugawa and later relocated to Edo tend to explain their position by starting with the family lineage of each poet, whereupon they then count up all of the Manyōshū comic poems and Kokinshū haikai poems, providing exegeses of terms like ushin and mushin and of poems by Kakinomoto Hitomaro and the later Kurinomoto poets, and, finally, after much fretting over the relationship of the Tenmei poets to these ancestors, conclude by pulling out of their ass something from, say, Gyōgetsubō. But even supposing such theories enhance our understanding of the meaning or genealogy of a given kyōka, they still tell us nothing about the particular nature of the Tenmei literary movement, which in fact made an aesthetic break with the existing coteries in both Edo and Kansai.
Honkadori, or "allusive variation," is a procedure common to kyōka, yet for some reason very few honkadori poems are distinguished. This Yamate no Shirohito poem from Wild Poems of Ten Thousand Generations (1783) is no exception.
"Oak-leave Rice Cakes"
On Narazaka slope: Kashiwa rice cake in hand
I savor it, stroking it back and forth.
This sort of allusion was by no means a discovery of the Tenmei era. In fact, in the same collection there is this poem by Yūchōrō, written much earlier:
Oh, world filled with deceit: Though it's the Kannazuki month,
The god of poverty won't let me alone.
A honkadori poem is precisely that which haikai-ifies an earlier canonical poem, and this procedure was in use long before the Tenmei era. In fact, there were personal collections of kyōka being put out even before this. But where does one look to find a kyōka collection that is itself an "allusive variation"— that is, a haikai-ification— of not just a few last lines but of a whole classical anthology? That corresponds both tonally and stylistically to an entire ancient anthology, and that is not simply the result of a little juggling around? In fact, there isn't any, or at least not before the appearance of Ōta Nanpo's Wild Poems in the Tenmei era. To what canonical anthology is it, then, that Wild Poems both tonally and stylistically corresponds? I should probably cite some exemplary works by Nanpo, Kankō and Kisshū to show how they parallel the concerned canonical anthology; but I haven't the space here for that. Thus, I am compelled to abridge my testimony and hasten to my conclusion, namely, that the anthology to which Wild Poems corresponds is none other than the Kokinshū. And Wild Poems is its haikai-ification. Tenmei kyōka can thus be seen as the first movement in the entire history of Japanese poetry that, at its core, sought to resuscitate the very spirit of the Kokinshū.
Incidentally, are we to view Tenmei kyōka as having developed from the kyōka of forerunners Ishida Mitoku and Nakarai Bokuyō, or of Nagata Teiryū and Yukikaze of the Kamigata coterie? In fact, neither is the case. Between the Genroku (1688-1704) and Kyōhō (1716-1736) eras there was a significant gap in the history of Edo kyōka, which seems inexplicable at first— that is, until you realize just what was so haikai-ish about Tenmei kyōka. It is widely known that prior to Tenmei a rare event occurred that would forever alter the history of haikai, namely, Bashō's discovery of comic linked verse (haikai no renga) during the Genroku era. (Note: There is no need to mention here Bashō's dainty little one-liners called hokku). Only by drawing on the Dōjō school's technique of haikai-izing renga was Bashō able to make this remarkable artistic breakthrough. It now seems inevitable that the haikai movement, blessed with this rare event, would make even further advancements in the Tenmei era. Once Genroku haikai had been designated as the "elegant orthodoxy," Tenmei kyōka was left to become the "vulgar heterodoxy." Yet the order by which the haikai movement proceeded from Bashō to Nanpo was by no means a decline; rather, it was a process of secularization. The real decline was to occur instead among Bashō's followers. If we are to be fair in our use of the term, then the "secularization" of Edo haikai must be seen not merely as a shift in vogue from the hokku of Kikaku to that of Bashō, but rather as a fundamental change in temperament that occurred between Bashō's "The Monkey's Straw Raincoat" (1691) and Nanpo's Wild Poems (1783). It is in this shift that we see the logic of haikai.
Just as Tenmei kyōka differed temperamentally from earlier kyōka, the Tenmei poets' attitude toward authorial persona couldn't have differed more from that of their predecessors. Each kyōka poet had his own sobriquet, and this is true not only of the Tenmei poets. However, in the Tenmei era we see a complete transformation in the function of these sobriquets. Previously, a kyōka poet's alias was no different from the alias of your typical literati haikai poet, in the sense that within each name existed a particular author, that is, his renowned persona. The poets of Tenmei, however, were absent from their sobriquets. In other words, they were anonymous personas, writing yomibito shirazu, or anonymous, poems. The haikai linked verse of Bashō made us forget about authorial presence the moment of the poem's completion. The compilers of Wild Poems, then, took this one step further by erecting a world from this renunciation of authorial name. When it's a sobriquet who's playing tricks on you, you can only vainly clutch at a shadow, since the author himself is nowhere to be found. To drive this point across, maybe I should write a series of biographies that address the consummate complexities of the lives of these Tenmei poets. For example, Nanpo was to Tenmei kyōka as Bashō's was to Genroku haikai, and as compiler of Wild Poems he was to that work as Tsurayuki was to the Kokinshū . . . But it goes beyond that: the self-actualizing phenomenon we call "Nanpo" seems itself a sort of haikai-fication of the Bashō-Tsurayuki phenomenon.
Your average Meiji reader knew only how to extract one or two famous first lines from some remote haikai sequence of Bashō— a rather penurious way of reading which we seem to have imported from those Westerners who were never much interested in anything beyond the author and his profession. It's as if they needed proof of a Creator to be certain that the world exists. Viewed through such methodological spectacles, the "mad literature" of Tenmei is rendered into a blurry, indistinguishable void. You see, Tenmei kyōka was not a profession, it was a movement; and its poets were not personalities, but rather incognitos. And the fact that subsequent generations have consistently failed to grasp this shows just how successful these "mad poets" were in deceiving us. I can see them now rolling about in their graves, gloating at the predicament they've kept us in.
A brief anecdote. In early Bunka, Nanpo's successor as haikai judge, Shikatsube Magao, sought to increase his salary by insisting that kyōka, which he saw as originating in the haikai poems of the Kokinshū, should be consolidated into the more mainstream (and profitable) haikai. Perhaps this is what led to the subsequent crash in kyōka stock. It is testament to the fine temper of Tenmei kyōka that the moment its poets exposed their feeble selves from their sobriquets and fixed the parameters of their art, their free and luminous world vanished in a poof, leaving behind only sordid people and second-rate goods. We might come to a better understanding of haikai if we include in our survey the heretical Tenmei kyōka, rather than limiting ourselves to the orthodox strand of Bashō.
While the Tenmei poets heartily imbibed from the old low-brow Edo and Kyoto zappai verse, they also ingested a certain ingredient from pre-Genroku haikai that Bashō had discounted, namely, humor (kokkei), with which the word haikai was originally synonymous. Yet it was not only the lyrical humor of experimental works like Wild Poems that resonated so deeply with the Edoites. In fact, looking over these poems, I see that many of them are downright sad. It was never set in stone that these anonymous poets— at times boisterous, at times melancholy, always at a distance from their creation— should always be a bundle of laughs. As I've already mentioned, their world was anchored in the spirit of the distant Kokinshū through the use of haikai techniques. The Kokinshū in particular was chosen because conditions on the ground necessitated its appropriation; that is, nothing permeated their classically schooled sensibilities and echoed through their hearts like this anthology. It was the bedrock upon which Wild Poems could be built, even before taking into account the social realities of Tenmei Edo.
There is another source related to the Edoites' education which bears mentioning, and that is the Selection of Tang Poems. What is important, however, is not the Edoites' understanding of the poems per se, but rather their intimate acquaintance with the collection as a whole, and the gesinnungsunterricht— or aesthetic sentiments— which were cultivated through the repeated recitation in Japanese of these poems. These two features together produced kyōshi, or "mad poems in the Chinese style," which would merge the two schools of Nanpo and Dōmyaku into a single sect. For practical purposes, let us group Tenmei kyōshi together with Tenmei kyōka, as it would make little sense to try and trace kyōshi to its source by citing obscure exchanges such as that between the Confucianist and the I-Ching scholar in A Treatise of Ten Rules. If you're just looking for any poem that involves "aesthetic madness" (fūkyō), then you may as well also throw in the autumn poems from Collection of Yamato and Han Cantillations (ca. 1013) and Minamoto no Shitagō's (911-983) "Primroses." However, as with Tenmei kyōka, one needn't trace the family lineage in order to get a sense of Tenmei kyōshi's spirit, which bears only a chance resemblance to the kyōshi composed between Bunsei and Meiji. Hence I see no need for further expatiation.
The "colloquial explanations" (genkai) of the Selection of Tang Poems are suffused with the spirit of Tenmei kyōshi— in fact, they themselves are a kind of haikai-ification of the original Chinese poems. For example, here's one by Nanpo, titled "On Parting with Courtesan Kasen of the Gomeirō House."
At night he is led by sleeve to my bedchamber
In the morning I see him as far as the gate.
Answer, should my apprentice geisha inquire:
"I was clear in my love missive: 'Here's a piece of my heart, but don't come back.'"
From a glance it is evident that this is a parody of Wang Changling's (698-795) "Parting with Xingjian At Hibiscus Inn," a solemn exile poem from the Tang dynasty:
In the cold night's rain you accompanied me along the river into Wu.
At dawn, I saw you off as far as the lonely mountains of Chu.
Answer, should my friends in Luoyang inquire of me:
"A piece of my heart frozen over as ice in a crystal vase."
One might call this "hon-shi-dori," that is, an allusive variation on a Chinese poem rather than on a native waka. Yet Nanpo's allusion is more involved than it first seems. The original Chinese describes the sorrows of parting, while the parody describes a playboy's tryst in the pleasure quarters; yet by suddenly inverting the original meaning, Nanpo has the made two poems into curious refractions of one another. Delighted by this charming connotative shift, Edo readers must have been moved to chills as they laughed outwardly at Nanpo's version while crying inwardly at Wang Changling's. Removed from these negotiations, however, the art of appreciating Tenmei kyōshi was bound to go into decline. Had Nanpo believed that only those with the steel nerve of a samurai could dabble in comic poetry, he would have gained toughness at the expense of spirit. But when it is his furtive shadow stealing upon the reader that moves them to chills, then this is no longer merely a rhetorical flourish. Indeed, many kyōshi poets possess great skill, some surpassing even Nanpo. The sublime quality of Kanwatei Onitake's (1760-1818) selected poems, for example, has received much acclaim. And the eleventh chapter of Chūshingura: The Storehouse of Loyal Retainers surely reveals the austere face of Confucianism. Yet both examples still pale by comparison to Dōmyaku Sensei's (1750-1801) The Housemaid's Ballad, and one must guard against praising them too highly. By evaluating Edo poetry capriciously and in isolation, we remove ourselves from that original urgency which characterized the Tenmei Edoites' method of reading. The genius of Tenmei kyōshi was articulated through innovation. Thus it would be foolish to jump headlong into a debate about kyōshi craftsmanship, which, unlike the native art of kyōka, is derivative of China.
Here is another bit of evidence that shows the extent of Selection of Tang Poems' popularity among the Edo public. In Santō Kyōden's sharebon titled Shigeshige Chiwa (1799), there is an episode in which a certain demi-connoisseur, having ventured into a brothel for the evening, waits in vain for his lover to attend him in the surrogate room. At the head of his pillow rests a small folding screen, on which are scribbled a few verses in calligraphy. The twenty, squarely-drawn Chinese characters read:
The grass in the Ever-Faithful Palace
Like her sorrow has grown thick with the years,
Burying the elegant bootprints of her former lover,
Who no longer mounts the jeweled steps to her bedchamber.
Pulsating with pride, the philistine stutters to himself these lines at random, unable to comprehend the more difficult characters. Here's how he reads, for example, the third and last lines of the quatrain:
. . . bootprints buried in the . . . blah, blah, blah . . .
Mounting . . . jeweled steps . . . trying not to rouse the servant.
His (mis)reading of the poem shows the influence of the "colloquial explanations" I mentioned earlier. This passage was clearly intended to provoke laughter in its readers, who were presumed to possess the requisite knowledge needed to laugh. In other words, the sharebon readers of the day must have known that these twenty, squarely-drawn Chinese characters were from Cui Guofu's "The Grass in the Ever-Faithful Palace." Moreover, having learned at a young age this legend of Emperor Cheng of Han and Consort Ban, these readers must have been struck with admiration at Kyōden's novel idea of superimposing upon his spurned philistine the rejected widow of the ancient Han Court, and at the skill with which he appropriated the two into the epigraph. We can be sure that a writer as love-shrewd as Kyōden never would have made his readers blush at these twenty squarely-drawn Chinese characters had he not been absolutely certain that they would be in on the joke.
Here I've rambled on about sharebon novelettes and the pleasure quarters. But to be honest, I've been quietly mulling over something else, wishing to move from sharebon toward "books of sentiments" (ninjōbon). This "something else" relates to the idea of the pleasure quarters, that ultimate invention of Edo writers. It is precisely by following this thread— which took us from the legend of Otake to the special-made notion of the pleasure quarters— that we can begin to see how the Edoites' way of thinking developed. But more on this some other day.

Rollins College in Winter Park made a huge donation to Second Harvest Food Bank Monday.
WESH 2 News continues its year-long effort, Hunger at Home, to put a spotlight on the problem so that more help is given to those in need.
The college held its annual soup kitchen lunch -- a $5 meal with $3 going to help the Second Harvest Food Bank buy more food, which culminates a month long mission of helping hands across America.
"Even if you don't have time to be directly related, you can come out here and buy a small plate of food for $5 and feel like you're making a small impact," said student Amanda Sieden.
The campaign by the college, Sodoexo and the Winter Park Chamber of Commerce had a goal to raise 25,000 pounds of non perishable food items for Second Harvest. Last year, they raised 21,000 pounds.
"This year at Winter Park Village we had a happy hour for hunger, so partners raised over $5,000," said Chamber of Commerce President Patrick Chapin.
Each dollar raised bought $9 worth of food.
The need is great as one in five central Floridians, or 732,000 people, needed food last year.
"It's blue-collar, white-collar workers, college-educated folks that never dreamt that are now asking," said Second Harvest Food Bank spokeswoman Sasha Hausman.
The final tally of food weighed in at Second Harvest's facility on Mercy Drive was over 30,000 pounds.

Gun Sales in Montgomery County on the Rise
As Capitol Hill debates gun control, sales and registrations in the county are booming.
Business is booming. Those in the gun-selling industry are finding a good deal of action in Montgomery County.
According to an article in the Pottstown Mercury, the counter in spots like the French Creek Outfitters has seldom dropped below a dozen customers all day long. In the wake of the debates on Capitol Hill and President Barrack Obama's recommendations on gun control, the sales and registrations in the county have been on the rise.
Many makes and models are sold out at local gun shops.
"When asked about AR-15 rifles, one employee shook his head. 'We've been sold out of those for weeks,' he said," quoted the Mercury article.
Many local vendors are noting the sales went up more after Wednesday's statements by the president.
"Gun shops reported a run on rifles after the president announced he wants a ban on assault weapons renewed and all ammunition magazines sold limited to 10 rounds or less, among other proposals," said the article.
One Perkiomen Valley area business owner agreed.
"Charles Barber, whose store, Barber's Firearms in Lower Frederick, deals mostly in hunting and sporting needs, said there has 'absolutely' been a run on rifles like the AR-15," said the article.
According to an article on PAGunRights.com, the most recent collected data shows Montgomery County is listed as Number 9 county in the state for most licenses to carry, while it is Number 8 in the state for most firearm dealers.
Data was dated as far back as 2008 in the site's study.
Another news site, "The Daily Beast," ranked Pennsylvania at 25th in the nation for most gun owners. The site used data last collected in 2009.
Sales heading into 2013 are seeing a much steeper incline. It is unclear, however, if the rise in sales is for an owner's use and protection or if buyers are trying to make a quick buck.
"Although some may be buying the weapons for their personal use or defense, the gun store owner said many are probably buying the guns to turn a profit," the article said.
"They are an investment now," said an unnamed gun store owner in Montgomery County. "There are people that bought them before all this and then sold them online for twice what they paid for them."

I suspect PA is much higher on the list of gun ownership. Until the crazies and thugs got involved, firearm ownership was no big deal and PA guns have not been tracked. Many people own firearms that predate the current troubles, and pass them on to their kids.

The gun store near where I work had a great supply of AR-15's and decided to not raise the prices....didn't want to take advantage of his customers. Guess what his customers bought them and are now reselling them at 3 and 4 times the price. Guess who now has to act as the middle man to ship the purchase. The store owner. Man he is pissed.

If these people are buying AR-15's legally and then re-selling them either in person or on-line, isn't it consider a "straw" purchase?? How can the seller do a background check on a buyer on line? These are the people who make it hard for the gun owners who abide by the law. A "straw" purchase is what got Officer Fox killed? Those people who are re-selling there guns for 3-4 times more than what they paid are NOT responsible gun owners and should have THEIR gun permits taken away!

Incorrect. The rifle MUST be shipped to a willing FFL proximate to where the buyer lives. The FFL (gun shop) takes possession of the shipped rifle. The buyer arrives to the FFL and must complete form ATF 4473, and Application/Record of Sale Form (SP4-113). After this is all complete, the FFL charges his fee and the buyer takes possession of the rifle. The complete misinformation that is spread about is highly annoying.
Face to face sales of long guns is legal in PA without any background checking whether you agree with it or not. But you cannot ship firearms to a purchaser with the aforementioned taking place.

You do not need a 'gun permit' to buy an AR15. Gun permits in PA are required for concealed carry only. If resellers are complying with the laws on the books, why are they 'NOT responsible gun owners'????
Get educated folks. There is a lot of misinformation being spread regarding PA gun laws.

"There is no background check required for long guns (AR15) in PA."
Absolutely wrong. Refer to 18Pa.C.S. ss6111 "Sale or transfer of Firearms". Private sales differ, as I already stated above. FTF is ok and mailing to another PA resident is ok. Out of state transfers, MUST ship to FFL.
PA doesn't issue permits they issue -Pennsylvania License to Carry Firearms,(LTCF).

I am not sure I am wrong. I haven't purchased a long gun in a while, but the section you referenced refers to 'firearm'. Following is the definition of 'firearm' right from the code:
"Firearm." Any pistol or revolver with a barrel length less than 15 inches, any shotgun with a barrel length less than 18 inches or any rifle with a barrel length less than 16 inches, or any pistol, revolver, rifle or shotgun with an overall length of less than 26 inches. The barrel length of a firearm shall be determined by measuring from the muzzle of the barrel to the face of the closed action, bolt or cylinder, whichever is applicable.

Handguns always require a transfer, whether in-state or out. Private sale of long guns/shotguns in-state do not. Not sure about a gift gun. I was given a handgun by my Dad, and decided to take it to a dealer to record the event, but he wasn't sure if it was necessary.
Jonny V

You are wrong in that, a FFL, as a gun store owner, must perform a background check on the customer for any gun sold; long gun or pistol. Private sales of long guns only are legal in the state of PA provided both of the parties are residents of PA.

If you are buying a home in the Phoenix Metro Area, there is no one better then Jonas Funston. No one better! Jonas found us a buyer for our existing home before it was even listed on the market and sold it over the appraised value! How great is that kind of combo?! Jonas then worked his rear off to help us get in our current dream home in North Scottsdale well under the asking price and with many extra's in the house conveyed. There is no one better.

Once I let him know I was open to it he walked me through the process, I am an inexperienced seller.

Jonus helped us bought three properties, two of them closed in 2012. He provided us full services with free charge. He also was patient to answer all of our questions. We were lucky to have an agent like him.
Jonas helped me to purchased a rental property recently. He is very knowledgeable and quick response. I think he is different from many realtors in that, he is not just trying to make a sale and earn his commission, regardless if the deal is the best to the client. He cares about his clients very much. After I bought the property, he also helped me to find a reliable man to repair the house. Personally, I like his honesty and integrity most.
A friend of mine from our church in Ottawa, Canada referred him to us when we started to look for the investment properties in Phoenix area on July 2011. Since then we have used Jonas to buy two investment properties at Gilbert. We are so lucky to have him as our agent, he is very knowledgeable, honest, and a hard worker. Since we are in Canada, he helped us in every aspect from the start of the property hunting to the time the key of the property handed over to Property Management Company. Whe... More
At the end of 2010 we were new to the country, and looling for our own home. Jonas has been most accommodating in our requests, and has gone that extra mile to assist us in understanding the laws, and procedures in purchasing our home and two other properties. Whilst leaving the final decisions to us, he has guided us, advised us and has been, and still is, so helpful - we could not have found a more honest, ethical agent who has integrity of the highest regard. We have no hesitation in r... More
I asked for an agent referral from the rental office where I wanted to buy. they recommended Jonas. As we were walking the property 2 separate women who lived there came up to him and hugged him. This was a good sign. I bought a unit he suggested and he handled it perfectly. It worked so well I bought a 2nd property. Since I live out of state, I never saw the unit. He handled everything; again perfectly. I recommended him to my son, who bought a unit from from out of state. Same result..
Jonas helped us secure a banked owned condo to be used as a rental in 2010. He guided us thru the process every step of the way. One year later we had a lease expire and he helped me rewrite the entire new lease. He also offered to help us find a renter if we neede help.We have recommended him to friends of ours.
I used Jonas for my Buyer's Agent on two separate investment transactions and was very happy with him. He is well connected and very knowledgeable of market conditions. He gave me sound advice on which properties were a good value and which ones I should avoid. He is honest, ethical and a hard worker. I also found him to be very responsive. To top it off, he even found me a high quality tenant for one of the properties that was vacant! I will definitely use Jonas for future deals.
Jonas has assisted us in the purchase and sale of five homes. Jonas has a great understanding of the greater Phoenix market. We are foreign buyers; Jonas took the extra time to understand and explain potential roadblocks and guide us around them. We continue to refer Jonas to family and friends. Bradley & Kim Gingerich
I have worked with Jonas Funston on several occasions and he truly understands customer service. Not only is he educated and a great negotiator, he goes the extra mile to make sure the home buying process is smooth and enjoyable. I have done several deals with him in as many years and I plan on only using Jonas as my realtor for as long as he is in the business.
We are cross-border real estate investors. We were new to real estate investment at that time and a friend referred Jonas to us. Jonas viewed a few properties for us before we put an offer on one. For each house he viewed, he sent us a video and provided his honest opinions. He even gave us a rough number on how much it would cost to put the house on the rental market. The entire purchase process went very smoothly under his guidance. After the closing, he even took care of the repair/fix ... More
Several years ago I was looking for a property in Phoenix from my Canadian home and I through good fortune was put in contact with Jonas . I was impressed with his honesty, enigmatic personality, good humour and his commitment to finding a place for me. He never failed to respond to my questions and concerns quickly and always pointed out cons as well as pros on a property. I purchased a fabulous property through him and he went on to find an incredible deal for my sister and her husband to pu... More
I am from out of the state and wanted to purchase a rental property. Jonas lined up the property, management, repairs and closing. The property has been rented since and has yielded a great return. Jonas is extremely efficient and responds to all requests in a timely and professional manner. I highly recommend Jonas as a local expert that can find a property that suits your needs.
Jonas is a solid guy who goes the extra mile to get things done for his clients. I have been very impressed with his knowledge of the industry, work ethic and follow through. Use him, you will be very pleased you did.

The new Resource Development Institute website will help provide local and regional leadership in data-driven evaluation, needs assessment, community research and community development for stakeholders.
Kansas City, MO (PRWEB) February 25, 2013
Since 1950, Resource Development Institute (RDI) has been helping the community in a wide variety of ways. RDI has an extensive history of partnering with multiple stake-holders on many community based projects, and has established a reputation for conducting unbiased and truly independent assessments. The main focus of the research done at RDI specializes in the areas of Mental Health, Education, Health, Law & Justice, Substance Abuse, and Social Services (though they also service other areas), by informing the community and community programs on the information they need to be effective.
RDI provides high quality social research and evaluation for a diverse clientele. Experience has demonstrated that routine, staff-led, data-driven monitoring improves staff motivation and the capacity to develop and provide exceptional services. Additionally, facilitating coordination among stakeholders enhances client satisfaction and community involvement. The information that RDI provides allows organizations to evaluate themselves and improve by focusing on understanding the contributions they make to the community and involving the community itself. This allows learning from failures, as well as success.
There are a range of research types available through RDI, including Formative, Summative, Community-Based, and Mixed Method, among others. RDI and the companies they work with use this research to apply for grants and evaluate the objectives of their projects. This allows organizations to design their goals and objectives in a measurable way, allowing them to see the fruits of their research and to end up with a more thorough evaluation. Additionally, RDI provides training for staff and grant writing assistance for community partners.
The Resource Development Institutes' sixty year history of community involvement reflects a commitment to helping public, private, and community organizations promote quality services and positive outcomes for the communities involved. For more information on the work done by RDI, review the new website, or take a look at the Publications put out by RDI, it's clear that they have the best in mind for their communities.

Client: Greg Aird, Fisheries Victoria, Department of Natural Resources and Environment
Commercial fishing in Victorian waters is a $90 million per annum industry. Fisheries Victoria, within the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, is responsible for licensing approximately 900 commercial fishing enterprises. Managing commercial fishing licences and permits in a consistent and timely manner was the primary driver for the development of the Fisheries Integrated Licence System (FILS).
The application replaces two existing applications based on older "Pick" and "dBase" environments, combining them into a single client/server application that utilises a Sybase Relational Database Management System (RDBMS).
One of the most complex features of the FILS application is the licence conditions maintenance section, where Licence condition profiles are set up for each Licence class. These profiles are then used as the basis for recording conditions for each licence or permit. The conditions may be further customised at a licence or permit level. The facility uses a tree view interface similar to the Windows Explorer. The system also maintains a history of activity on licences and permits, including transfers, quota changes and simple administrative changes.
The application has complex licence and permit printing capabilities with a batch system to facilitate issuing annual renewals.
In addition to the client/server application there is a Web-based interface for fishery officers around the state, allowing 24-hour access to essential details of licensed operators.
FILS also provides summarised data nightly to a "Catch and Effort" system, which is used to monitor fish resource levels to help determine future fishing limits and protected areas.
Demonstrated Capabilities
- Data modelling design and implementation
- Client/server application design, development and implementation
- Web application development and implementation
- Data conversion (Pick to Sybase, Dbase to Sybase)
- Automated data exchange processes
John Heskins undertook much of the design of the data model, database and associated application.
Spatial Vision and subcontractors, undertook the development of the client/server application
Technologies Applied
- PowerDesigner (data modelling software)
- Sybase RDBMS (NT Sybase server and UNIX Sybase server)
- PowerBuilder (client/server development software)
- Perl for automated process scripting
- Cold Fusion for web development
OLE for integration with Microsoft Word for licence generation.

Hundreds of record high temperatures have baked the United States this week. On Wednesday this massive heat wave pushes east! Temperatures will reach dangerous levels in cities such as Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Houston, Philadelphia and many more.
Look for highs to climb into the mid- to upper 90s and even triple digits. Plus, there's still no relief for the scorching West and Plains states. With this dangerous heat in the forecast, here are some safety tips from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to keep cool:
- Slow down. Reduce, eliminate or reschedule strenuous activities until the coolest time of the day. Children, seniors and anyone with health problems should stay in the coolest available place, not necessarily indoors.
- Dress for summer. Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing to reflect heat and sunlight.
- Put less fuel on your inner fires. Foods, like meat and other proteins that increase metabolic heat production, also increase water loss.
- Drink plenty of water, non-alcoholic and decaffeinated fluids. Your body needs water to keep cool. Drink plenty of fluids even if you don't feel thirsty. Persons who have epilepsy or heart, kidney or liver disease, are on fluid-restrictive diets or have a problem with fluid retention should consult a physician before increasing their consumption of fluids.
- Do not drink alcoholic beverages and limit caffeinated beverages.
- During excessive heat periods, spend more time in air-conditioned places. Air conditioning in homes and other buildings markedly reduces danger from the heat. If you cannot afford an air conditioner, go to a library, store or other location with air conditioning for part of the day.
- Don't get too much sun. Sunburn reduces your body's ability to dissipate heat.
- Do not take salt tablets unless specified by a physician.
Remember those over age 65, children, and those with chronic medical conditions are more susceptible to heat-related illness. The best place to be during extreme heat is in an air-conditioned place indoors. Public libraries, shopping malls and public cooling areas are free places to go if you do not have air-conditioning at home.

text: The Cozad Seniors built up an early lead but weren't able to hold ship as the Indians offense heated up to the tune of a 12-8 decision in favor of the host Broken Bow Nine on Thursday evening. Scoring first was the Indians, as Caleb Dodge helped out his own cause with a walk and then he scored on Jake McCormick's RBI-single to give the host a 1-0 lead at the end of the first inning. The score remained 1-0 until the Reds offense caught fire with a two-out rally in the bottom of the second inning. Jason Finnegan singled and then Brendan Molden was walked. Then Dillon Budd singled to score Finnegan. On the ensuing at-bat, Tysen Werner connected on a two-RBI double to clear the bases. Werner advanced to third base on Tylar Lauby's single. Once again a big-hit cleared the bases with two more runs scored on Zach Caldwell's two-RBI single that rocketed into left field. Broken Bow was finally able to record the third out of the inning with a force play at second base on Simon Rangel's fielders choice, but the score and momentum had clearly swung in the direction of Cozad 6-1 at the end of the second inning. The Reds went back to work in the third inning with two more runs, as Brendan Molden and Dillon Budd circled the bases to score to make the score 8-1. In the bottom of the third inning, Broken Bow dented the lead with Tommy McCormick earning a walk and then scoring on Hunter Campbell's RBI-single. Trading places, McCormick would then score on Caleb Dodges' RBI-single of his own, but that is all they could muster as Cozad retired the next three batters to extinguish the potential rally and hold onto an 8-3 lead. Chipping away at the Reds lead, Broken Bow was able to score runs in the fourth and fifth innings with Josey Evans and Jake McCormick circling the sacks, respectively. Cozad's lead had dwindled down to 8-5 by the start of the sixth inning. During the action of the stretch stanza, the Broken Bow offense caught fire and were able to plate seven runs with RBI-singles off the bats of Seth Quackenbush and Josey Evans leading the scoring surge that gained the Indians a 12-8 lead with just one inning remaining. During the top of the seventh inning, Cozad was not able to regain the hot hitting stroke that garnered the Reds the big lead. The Cozad Nine took to the dish with gumption, but did not have enough outs remaining as Broken Bow recorded three outs and iced the homefield 12-8 victory for the Indians over Cozad. Outfielder Adam McGinnis finished the contest 2-4 at the plate with a pair of singles and a run scored to lead Cozad. Reds leadoff batter Dillon Budd scored twice to lead all scorers in the game.
