I so need that when i go with my dad on a survival trip. i bet that its the best fire starter in the world!
The best fire starter because does totally shoot out fireballs on the tinder
I used to have a five dollar Colmen magnesium fire starter, I HATE IT! I am an experienced eagel scout and I am great at using fire starters. But this one would only shoot 2 or 3 sparks at a time. My Bear Grylls fire starter shoots out a fire ball!!
Uma fantástica ferramenta de sobrevivência. Fiz alguns testes; minha esposa e meu filho conseguiram fazer fogo sem qualquer dificuldade. Muito bom. Recomendo.
A fantastic tool for survival. I did some tests, my wife and son were able to make fire without any difficulty. Very good. Recommend.
Je suis tres content du produit!!!
Robuste, et fait des étincelles du premier coup!!! Et son compartiment imperméable fait de lui un produit de QUALITÉ.
Merci Gerber et Bear Grylls
terrible no stars if possible
I've owned and used a Gerber Strike Force fire starting system for many years. Bought one of these for EDC kit in my rig. The ferro rod is generous enough for many hundreds of strikes, more than I'll likely ever need. Should last for years.
This man's a genius. From what I see on his shows, you need to simply just angle the stroke near the end, and you'll feel the resistance. To those saying this product did not work, it must be in your technique, or a simple manufacturer defect. Trustworthy tool, and the extra compartment for tinder is genius. The whistle is cool too, but is piercing, which may or may not be a good thing. Just a heads up, but i find that there are only advantages to any of Bear's products.
Re stock lots of people want them
Hoping to purchase soon! Looks great!
Works great and it looks real good
It works quite well, providing some impressive sparks, but it would've been nice if Gerber gave it a larger storage compartment. Also, some technical advice for Gerber: if I engineered this device, I would've made the starter-rod be able to come out so that you can turn it around and use the length of the rod that is stuck in the handle.
it looks good to me from the video and it look handy
I bought this a year or so ago, and it's the best fire steal I've ever had! Then I accidentally left it in my back pack at the airport and I had to throw it away. But is is the first fire steal I've had that successfully lit a fire in one strike. Marvelous.
my 8 year old daughter can even start a fire with this ....amazing tool....
I bought this unit believing it was high quality due to the reputation and experience of the man who is endorsing it. It is without a doubt the worst fire striker I have ever used. I will be returning it to Gerber. The problem is the metal striker.
carry it all the time . I work out doors alot comes in handy on cold winter days when you don't have a lighter or matchs thanks again
amazing it is the only flint where i've been able to get a fire going
im a big fan of bear, and this i an amazing tool ive had it for ages and it lights in about 2-3 strikes buy it guys!!!
From what i heard it looks great. Im looking to buy this because i have the ultimate survival kit and first time using it the flint shaft came off. But this looks much more sturdy!

it is a brilliant piece of equipment i am a big fan of bear he is a role model to me.maybe could of came with a few more cotton balls
Dear Sir or Madam
I wish to advise of a problem with the metal striker on the survival series fire starter. I gave this device to my spouse as a gift to help complete an emergency kit for her 4 wheel quad. Both of us are avid outdoors people with years of experience in Canada's North. We were on a trip and tried to use the fire starter and could barely get a showere of sparks. In fact I could not get enough spark to light a cotton ball. It appears the striker is too smooth. I could remedy this by filing it down or putting a sharp edge on it, however I feel I should not have to modify a new piece of equipment. I was going to give my two daughters these fire starters for Christmas but decided against it as I would not want them to depend on it in an emergency situation. Please advise as to how we can rectify the problem. I have several pieces of Mr. Grylls equipment and feel this one slipped past quality control
how long can it work
the fire starter is brilliant but maybe it could come with a spare flint stick but thank you bear and gerber!!
i brought this and it snapped of in 3 strikes
do not buy this
Now i can make a fire in min 30 second
This fire starter is very nice and sturdy. I have used this many times on my camping trips. It has not let me down at all. You will not regret buying this product.
Amazing product! I have put it to the test and it just blows the doors off anything else. 100%. If you are unsure of purchasing; I promise you won't regret!
Not sure why it does not include a magnesium strip to create shavings?
very good recommend it to others !
Good so far.
It produces good sparkles and it's easy to use. Dry compartment and whistle are a plus. O-ring came off while using it, just FYI.
I was camping and needed a fire and this thing started the fire in 3 strikes! It is the best fire starter ive ever used. Good job bear and gerber. I also love the priorities of survival thing. I used the deadfall to catch a rabbit. So basicly its crazy go
Works like a champ! The storage compartment keeps your tinder dry until you need it. The shaft of the starter is nice and thick, unlike a lot of others that I have used. This one will last a good long time! Highly recommended!
We've seen him use a fire bow, striking flint on his knife, and rubbing two sticks together—if it can be done, Bear Grylls gets his fire started on Man vs. Wild. But forget the blisters and the whole Cro-Magnon thing: the human race has come a long way from our spear-wielding ancestors. We now have the Fire Starter from Gerber's line of Bear Grylls Survival Series.

(Bloomberg ) For almost two decades, Sony Corp.'s PlayStation gaming console has been the pride of the company's legions of engineers. Now President Kazuo Hirai hopes a makeover can keep it from tracking other Sony hardware hits into obscurity.
By featuring innovations such as DVD and Blu-ray movie players, Sony has sold more PlayStations than Trinitron TVs and about as many as the Walkman music player. Yet the latest iteration, the PlayStation 3, launched in 2006 -- a year before Apple Inc.'s first iPhone -- has seen sales slow as it ages.
On Feb. 20, Sony will announce a new version of the console with more realistic game play and more entertainment options, said Michael Pachter, an analyst with Wedbush Securities in Los Angeles. Pachter cited game developers and retailers for saying Sony "is 100 percent certain to announce the PlayStation 4" during an event next week in New York.
The question facing Sony and rival Nintendo Co., which released its Wii U console last year, is whether the new devices are in sync with consumer preferences for mobile computing on devices from Apple and Samsung Electronics Co.
"Sony and Nintendo refuse to acknowledge they don't have a market like they had 20 years ago," Pachter said. "They're desperately clinging to the notion they can get it back."
Apple, Samsung
Hirai, 52, named chief executive officer last year partly because of his success running the PlayStation business, has said he considers the console to be the centerpiece of a universe of exclusive content running on Sony phones, tablets and TVs.
Speaking to reporters in Tokyo last month, Hirai said Sony is working to improve its position in mobile gaming.
"We're trying to leverage past expertise in the traditional video-game business and bring that experience onto the smartphone," he said. "So we're actually playing in both fields, which I think is very strategic."
Sony needs to get its PlayStation strategy right because it hasn't made money in the TV business since the 12 months ended March 2004. This month, it reported an eighth straight quarterly loss as Apple's iPad and iPhone and Samsung's Galaxy smartphones tilt the games business away from consoles by Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft Corp., which makes the Xbox 360.
Profit Forecast
Sony shares are down 10 percent in Tokyo trading over the past 12 months, compared with a 25 percent increase in the benchmark Nikkei 225 Stock Average.
Sony's games unit made money, though operating profit fell 86 percent to 4.6 billion yen ($49 million) as sales of consoles and software slumped.
The value of games downloaded to computers and mobile devices rose 16 percent last year, according to researcher NPD Group Inc., while titles for dedicated consoles fell 21 percent.
The PlayStation 4 faces a challenge similar to the struggling TV business, where margins are squeezed by Samsung's efficient manufacturing and lower-cost Chinese products. Many mobile phones also are subsidized by U.S. wireless carriers.
Sony projects a 20 billion-yen profit this year after selling its New York headquarters for $1.1 billion. As Hirai culls ancillary businesses such as chemicals and display-making, he aims to generate 70 percent of revenue and 85 percent of operating profit in Sony's electronics operations by March 2015 from three businesses: digital imaging, mobile devices and games.
Nintendo Outlook
The PlayStation 4 "will show whether Sony still has the power like Apple to surprise consumers with its products," said Hiroshi Yamashina, an analyst at BNP Paribas Securities in Tokyo.
Hirai said he expects the new PlayStation to boost demand for Sony's online music and video service and Xperia phones and tablets. To succeed, Sony must also bring in casual gamers who are as likely to buy a console to watch movies from Netflix Inc. as to play games.
Two months after Nintendo tried to tap the same group with the new Wii U, it cut its sales outlook to 4 million units through March from an earlier forecast of 5.5 million.
Game developers still consider home consoles the best platform for cutting-edge games and entertainment, said Nick Earl, a senior vice president at Electronic Arts Inc. Now, though, EA is focused on following the mobile money.
Luring Gamers
"The core gamers that have traditionally been buying a packaged-goods game every week, they're really starting to shift their buying and playing to games on iPads and other mobile devices," Earl said. "We believe the future of gaming is so much tied to these devices."
Osaka, Japan-based Capcom Co., creator of the "Resident Evil" and "Street Fighter" video games, is stepping up development of games for mobile devices even though improvements in smartphone technology are making development more expensive.
Creating a multiplayer game for mobile devices now costs at least 100 million yen ($1.1 million), Chief Operating Officer Haruhiro Tsujimoto said in an interview. That compares with "a few tens of million" yen for games on basic mobile phones, he said.
Keeping game developers on board may be one reason Sony will reveal the new PlayStation more than six months before it will probably go on sale. That approach, which Sony used in 2011 when it announced the PlayStation Vita portable player, is designed to get developers interested in creating unique games that best show why it's worth buying the console.
The Vita, featuring wireless technology, has yet to deliver. Earlier this month, Sony lowered its forecast for combined sales of the PSP and PlayStation Vita consoles to 7 million from the 10 million it forecast in November -- and the 16 million it expected last May.

In a short, approximately four-minute press conference Friday morning, House Speaker John Boehner said there had been "no progress" on the state of negotiations for a deal to avert the so-called "fiscal cliff."
"This isn't a progress report, because there is no progress to report," Boehner said, opening his press conference.
"The White House has wasted another week."
He said a recent phone call with President Barack Obama was "pleasant," but "more of the same." He also called the administration "reckless" for threatening to go over the fiscal cliff. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner said he was "absolutely" willing to do this week if the White House didn't get the deal it wanted, including increased tax rates on incomes above $250,000.
Boehner emphasized he came out the day after the election and said he was willing to increase revenues.
"When is he going to take a step toward us?" Boehner said.

In the title story, Jamilti, a woman momentarily escapes from with a racist fiance, and shares an intimate moment with a man who has been blown in half by a terrorist bombing.

The Panty Killer is a creepy, and absurd mystery about a serial killer who leaves the victims with their underpants over their heads. Another story, The King of the Lillies sees a plastic surgeon alter a legion of patients to look like the woman he loved.
You can read the story, Jamilti, for free here. The rest of the collection is as original, surprising and strange as this one.

Enrollment counselors encourage 'Young Invincibles' to get health care coverage
They're young, healthy and don't think they need health insurance.
As the Affordable Care Act sign-up deadline draws near, area health care experts are finding it hard to reach out to young people.
VIDEO: Health care experts find young adults not paying attention to health care coverage
Traci Singleton is a full-time student with a part-time job, and until recently, didn't see the need for health insurance.
"All you care about is your necessities when you're my age -- just gas, transportation, food," Singleton said.
"And you didn't see this as a necessity?" WISN 12 News reporter Kent Wainscott asked.
"No, no," Singleton said.
They are young and healthy and not sure about the value of coverage. Enrollment counselors even have a name for that hard-to-reach group.
"Yes, the 'Young Invincibles,'" enrollment counselor Emily Palmer said.
Palmer, of the Outreach Community Health Center, helps people enroll for coverage and said convincing young people of its importance can be a challenge.
"I think, for people who are young in general, myself included, having insurance is something that's kind of a second thought," Palmer said.
Singleton reconsidered after what she thought was just a simple precautionary visit to the emergency room.
"Next thing I know, I have a $2,500 bill for an ER visit," Singleton said.
And so she contacted Palmer, and signed up for coverage.
"I picked the plan that I wanted, that was best, so I feel good about it," Singleton said.
Her plan costs her about $40 a month.
Palmer said she hopes more Young Invincibles, like Singleton, will just take the first step.
"Just getting them to our office is the hardest part. Once they're there, everyone's had a good experience," Palmer said.
Singleton's concern before she enrolled was that it would be overwhelming with dozens of plans to choose from and that maybe she wouldn't be able to afford coverage.
Those concerns may be shared by a lot of people, not just the Young Invincibles.
But in the end, Singleton got a plan she felt comfortable with and said she thought the sign-up process was a lot easier than she expected.

August 18, 2008 - Many fans of Mario Puzo's epic crime dramas have long wondered what it would be like to truly step into the shoes of a mob boss. The first Godfather game allowed players to start as a common street thug and work their way up the family ladder. While the game was good for what it was, it didn't satiate the desire to actually have complete control over your family's dealings. Thankfully, this is where Godfather II (GFII) steps in, finally giving players the chance to live out their fantasies of becoming the Don.
Picking up where the first game ended and covering the events from the second film, GFII sees you thrust into the position of the Don of New York. Since Michael Corleone is under intense investigation, he is forced to promote you to this position so he can keep a lower profile. Although you are named the Don of New York, the game will have you controlling and expanding the Corleone family's operations in 1960s versions of New York, Florida, and even Cuba. Unlike the first title, GFII's environments are not attempting to be geographically accurate, focusing instead on making the cities more manageable for gameplay purposes. From what was shown, it looks like there will be significantly more real estate in this game, and the environments also seem far less claustrophobic than that of its predecessor.
GFII will still be a third-person, open world game that plays similarly to the first title, with a few exceptions. The biggest difference will be a strategy element that puts players in direct control of what is going on in the game world. Players will need to utilize The Don's View, which is a zoomed out, three-dimensional representation of the world, to help take over the game's cities. From The Don's View, players will be able to see the game's businesses and rackets, who controls them, how many foes are guarding them, as well as being able to issue specific orders to your mob underlings. You will be able to order your mobsters to bomb businesses, take over rackets, and even defend things you've already taken over without ever having to get your own hands dirty. While this is a possibility, the game still encourages players to take part in these events. GF II's A.I. will notice when you are personally present, thereby giving your family a slight edge in confrontations when you come along for the ride.
Players will also be able to take crews with them when in the game world. Each crew member will have a special talent for demolitions, arson, engineering, or first aid and can also be directly ordered to use these abilities. A cohort with engineering talent may be able to cut fences, allowing you to sneak in behind enemies, while an arsonist can help you blow up fuel tanks and buildings. Players can also direct their crew's movements, allowing for the ability to flank opponents during firefights. The ability to directly control your squad looks like it could certainly add a new level of strategy to enemy encounters.
If players continue having troubles with missions, even with their team backing them up, there are alternatives to just jumping into the fight. GF II incorporates a new favor system that proves it is truly better to give than to receive. In the mission that was demoed for us at the recent EA event, the player went into a porn studio to meet with a sleazy DA. The DA asks you to smash up a rival's business in exchange for a favor that you get to cash in whenever you choose. The player completed the favor for the DA and then used that favor to call in a sting on the family who controlled the business that they were trying to take over. This resulted in a slightly easier firefight as some rival defenders were sentenced to jail time due to the sting. Aside from getting other families' flunkies thrown into the pen, we were also told of other types of favors ranging from getting out of jail to being given information and/or the locations of your rivals.
Taking over businesses plays a much larger role in this game than it did in the original. Not only is the money earned from these businesses more crucial, needing it to supply your family with weapons and to pay guards for your businesses to fortify them against enemy attacks, but there are other important benefits as well. Most notably, there are now crime rings that, once completely controlled, will greatly aid your family. Crime rings, such as gun running, are made up of several different rackets. Once the player controls every gun running racket in the city, they are rewarded with an ammo belt that will increase the amount of ammunition for all their guns. These rewards will only be useable while the player controls the necessary rackets, so maintaining these businesses is just as vital as taking them over.
The other major change that was noticed during this demo came in the slight alterations to the previous game's BlackHand controls. These controls have now been moved to the triggers and combos have been added. The examples given were as follows: Pressing R,R,R,L would result in breaking an enemies arm, while pressing L,L,L,R would have you punching your foe in the neck. It seemed like these moves could be pulled off fairly smoothly and easily, but we'll need some hands-on time with this title to be sure.
From what we were shown, GF II looks like it is shaping up to be a great follow up to the original. While the game was still fairly early in development, small touches such as vehicle damage and explosions were already looking great. It looks like many of the complaints from the first game are being addressed, and the hefty strategy-based additions to the gameplay should make this a more complete, deeper, and lengthier experience than its predecessor. Check back as more information becomes available about this game as its release date approaches.

Halloween is coming up faster than you think: time to dust off the gravestones and the zombie lawn decorations! This year you may want to add a little something extra to give the trick-or-treaters a bit of a thrill. Using motion detectors and an Arduino you can trigger lights, fans, or even an pneumatically controlled cleaver-wielding clown to help add your house to the "if you dare" list.
This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. Contact email@example.com to report an issue.
There are different types of motion detectors. Some work by sensing sound, some send out light and sense when the beam is broken or reflected back. Another kind is known as the Passive Infared Motion Detector or PIR. These sense the infared radiation emitted by all objects above absolute zero. When something passes in front of a PIR sensor it detects the change in background temperature and then triggers an output voltage. This voltage can be read by an Arduino digital input and then the Arduino can act upon it.
The PIR Motion Sensor on the left is made by Parallax and sold by Radio Shack. The one on the right comes from Sparkfun. The difference between the two is important to note: The Sparkfun PIR has an open collector output — this means that the sensor requires a pullup resistor so that the output is always high, and when the sensor triggers it will pull the output low. The Parallax model is the opposite — the output is low until it is triggered, and then the output goes high. A simple way to think of the sensor is a switch; the diagram below explains the difference between the two approaches. It doesn't matter which approach is used as long as you know which one you are using so you can write the code accordingly.
The circuit for the Parallax sensor looks like this:
Connections are as follows
- PIR Pin "+" connects to Arduino +5
- PIR Pin "-" connects to Arduino gnd
- PIR Pin "out" connects to Arduino Digital 2
Here is the Arduino code for the Parallax sensor
int motion_1 = 2;
int light_1 = 13;
void setup(){
pinMode (motion_1,INPUT);
pinMode (light_1, OUTPUT);
void loop (){
digitalWrite (light_1,LOW);
delay(1000); //this delay is to let the sensor settle down before taking a reading
int sensor_1 = digitalRead(motion_1);
if (sensor_1 == HIGH){
Here is the circuit for the Sparkfun Active Low style sensor.
- PIR Pin "+" connects to Arduino +5
- one side of the 10K Resistor Connects to Arduino +5
- PIR Pin "-" connects to Arduino gnd
- Other side of 10K Resistor connects to PIR Pin "Alarm"
- PIR Pin "Alarm" connects to Arduino Digital 2
The code for the active low Sparkfun style motion detector looks like this.
int motion_1 = 2;
int light_1 = 13;
void setup(){
pinMode (motion_1,INPUT);
pinMode (light_1, OUTPUT);
void loop (){
digitalWrite (light_1,LOW);
delay(1000); //this delay is to let the sensor settle down before taking a reading
int sensor_1 = digitalRead(motion_1);
if (sensor_1 == LOW){
Regardless of the type you are using the code does the same thing: Check to see if the sensor is triggered; if it is, flash the on-board LED in front of digital pin 13. This is a good way to not only test the sensor but to see if it is going to be too sensitive and trigger to early. If it's too sensitive you can use a cardboard tube to narrow the focus of the sensor. Just place the tube over the sensor to block any heat signatures approaching from the side.
Of course you can use multiple sensors and outputs to trigger different effects depending on your needs. The Arduino is capable of driving small loads like an LED without extra components. Next week we will look at driving larger loads like buzzers, lights and sound modules.
If you're new to the Arduino, you should read Brian McLaughlin's introductory articles about the Arduino. The Sparkfun PIR Sensor can be found on the Sparkfun Website as well as the the datasheet. The Parallax sensor can be found at Radioshack, and here is the datasheet.
Finally you should check out the Geekdad Community Forums. I will be setting this up as a project and you can post questions and comments there. Have fun playing with this and see you next week when we look at controlling bigger things with the Arduino.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

AMP for Email Fundamentals
Important: this documentation is not applicable to your currently selected format stories!
If you're familiar with AMP, great news! AMP for Emails is just a subset of the AMP HTML library. If you're unfamiliar with AMP, also great news! This guide will give you everything you need to know to get started writing valid AMP Emails!
Required Markup
AMP Emails look like classic HTML emails, but with a few differences. Below is the minimum amount of markup required to make an email a valid AMP email.
<!doctype html> <html ⚡4email> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <script async src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0.js"></script> <style amp4email-boilerplate>body{visibility:hidden}</style> </head> <body> Hello, AMP4EMAIL world. </body> </html>
Email providers who support AMP Emails have set up security checks to ensure users get a delightful and safe experience. An email build with AMP must meet all requirements:
- Start with the
<!doctype html>doctype. This is also standard for HTML.
- Contain a top-level a
<html amp4email>tag, or an
<html ⚡4email>tag if your email is extra cool. This identifies the document as an AMP Email so it can be treated as such.
- Define both
<body>tags. This is optional in HTML, but AMP keeps things pristine!
- Include a
<meta charset="utf-8>tag as the first child of the
<head>tag. This identifies the encoding for the page.
- The AMP library is imported through a
<script async src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0.js"></script>tag placed in the
<head>. Without it, none of the awesome and dynamic functionality gained through AMP will work! As a best practice, this should be included as early as possible in the
<head>, directly under the
<meta charset="utf-8">tag.
- Initially hide the email content until the AMP library is loaded by placing the AMP for Email boilerplate in the
<head> ... <style amp4email-boilerplate>body{visibility:hidden}</style> </head>
AMP Specific Tag Replacements
Since the AMP for Email library is a subset of the AMP HTML library, many of the same rules apply; AMP specific tags replace resource heavy HTML tags and require a defined width and height. This allows the AMP boilerplate to hide content until it has an idea of how it looks on the user's device.
To paint the page effectively, all
<img> tags are replaced with
<amp-img>. The
<amp-img> tag requires a defined width and height and supports AMP's layout system
<amp-img src="https://link/to/img.jpg" width="100" height="100" layout="responsive"> </amp-img>
<amp-img> tag comes with powerful, built-in ways to control responsive design and set fallbacks.
AMP has created
<amp-anim>, a specific tag for GIF images that allows the AMP runtime to reduce CPU usage when the animation is off-screen. Similar to
<amp-img> the width and height is defined and the element must include a closing tag.
<amp-anim width="400" height="300" src="my-gif.gif"> </amp-anim>
Additionally, it supports an optional
placeholder child to display while the
src file is loading, and supports the AMP layout system.
<amp-anim width=400 height=300 src="my-gif.gif" layout="responsive"> <amp-img placeholder width=400 height=300 src="my-gif-screencap.jpg"> </amp-img> </amp-anim>
Emails, with style
Like all email clients, AMP allows for inline
style attributes, but also supports CSS within the
<style amp-custom> tag inside the head of the email.
... <style amp-custom> /* any custom styles go here. */ body { background-color: white; } amp-img { border: 5px solid black; } </style> ... </head>
Like HTML emails, AMP for Email supports a limited subset of CSS selectors and properties.
See AMP for Email Supported CSS for a full list of CSS allowed across email clients that support AMP.
Allowed AMP Components
The dynamic, visual, and interactivity features of AMP components is what takes AMP Emails into the future of email.
The full list of supported components in AMP for Email is available as part of the AMP for Email spec.
Testing in different email clients
Email clients that support AMP for Email provide their own documentation and testing tools to help you with your integration.
See Testing AMP Emails for more information and links to email client-specific documentation.

High-Tech Meditation App - Instrumental Edition
10 and 60 Minute Versions Available
Features Include:
1. More precision meditation, using High-Tech Meditation.
2. Create "Meditation" reminders to assist you in staying present in the Now.
3. With In-App Purchases, you can add additional High-Tech Meditation audio music versions.
Synchronicity 10 Minute High-Tech Meditation® - Instrumental Edition is an app designed to play a 10 minute High-Tech Meditation audio file. The 60 minute version contains the same meditation soundtrack included free in the free app but in a 60 minute version for a longer uninterrupted meditation experience.
You can also use the app to create "Meditation" reminders. These will remind you each day to meditate at any times you specify. Doing so will assist you in more consistently maintaining balance and wholeness in your daily life.
High-Tech Meditation® was created by Master Charles Cannon and is practiced by thousands of meditators world-wide for over thirty years. It provides a novel, precise method to achieve balance, wholeness and fulfillment in a fast-paced Western lifestyle.
You can learn more about Synchronicity Soundtracks by browsing this website. Or you can click here to go directly to the High-Tech Meditation description pages.
Download Now
10 Minute Version
Designed to be practiced on a daily basis, High-Tech Meditation utilizes Synchronicity Sonic technology to give individuals the opportunity to enjoy a precision meditation experience every time they meditate.
High-Tech Meditation works with all four brainwave frequencies -- Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta -- each of which correlates with specific states of consciousness. The 10 Minute Meditation audio is in the alpha level for a light meditation experience. You can add additional sound files to the app in the alpha level or in the theta level for a deeper meditation.
Traditional methods of meditation worked when life was slow, quiet and simple. Today's high-tech, busy, noisy world makes it much more difficult to sit in peaceful contemplation. The many environmental factors beyond the meditator's control create a frustrating inconsistency in meditation experience.
Environmental pollution and energetic stress caused by television, computers, and microwaves directly impact the human energy field, creating imbalance. Add in a world population of almost seven billion people (ever-increasing in conflict and dysfunction), and traditional methods of meditation are largely ineffective in experiencing stillness and expanding holistic awareness (trademarks of authentic meditation).
Fortunately, Synchronicity's High-Tech Meditation harmonizes the chaotic energies that otherwise impede the meditative process. In addition, High-Tech Meditation requires no religious belief system or adaptation of the cultural conditioning often associated with traditional systems.

It ain't easy being a big man in a world of smaller guys.
Just ask undefeated prospect Jared Rosholt, who said an "ibuprofen diet" is a requirement during training, when he does everything his smaller and more agile Team Takedown teammates do.
Admittedly, though, he pays the price for it.
"I wake up everyday and grab some ibuprofen and say, 'Let's get this started,'" Rosholt told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "I'm on an ibuprofen diet during this training camp."
Rosholt hopes the grueling work pays dividends tonight at Legacy Fighting Championship 13 at the Dallas Convention Center in Texas. Rosholt (4-0) and Derrick Lewis (7-2) headlined the AXS TV-televised event, and the organization's vacant heavyweight title is on the line.
It's the final challenge for Rosholt before a much-needed break.
"I do every workout these small guys do, these welterweights and 185-pounders and 205-pounders," he said. "I do every workout. Everything. At 263 pounds, I think working hard and doing these things, they wear you out."
As it turns out, Rosholt can do almost everything the other guys do. After all, his brother, former UFC fighter Jake Rosholt, gained some Internet fame with his video showing him jumping out of 3 feet of water – backward and forward – from a standing-still position.
Jared Rosholt doesn't have that type of agility, though he has come to embrace his water workouts.
"We do quite a bit of swimming," he said. "At least once a week we do laps and swimming exercises to give our bodies a rest without so much wear and tear. You'd think me being the whale of the group, I couldn't do so well. I may look like a whale, but I win the races almost every time.
"Swimming is just awesome. It's really hard. It's good cardiovascular (exercise) without running and jamming your knees and back and pounding on them. It's good for elastic muscles and legs. It's pretty much injury free."
In addition to his breaststroke, Rosholt has spent plenty of time working on his hands in recent months. Rosholt was a 2010 NCAA Division I national runner-up and three-time All-American wrestler who picked up more wins than any other heavyweight in Oklahoma State University history.
The wrestling skills will always be his base, but the striking makes it so much easier.
"I really like the striking," he said. "It's really interesting learning to put combinations together. I've blended it pretty well with my wrestling lately. It's the perfect setup. If you can get [opponents] covering their heads with their hands, that's gold. You don't get much better opportunities for a double-leg takedown than that."
The 26-year-old Rosholt is just four fights and 19 months into his pro campaign. But like any other prospect, he wants in the UFC. While he's happy to improve his skills on the regional circuit, he's reminded often that he's ready now for the big show.
"Just watching these guys who fight in the UFC right now, it's hard to watch because I'm like, 'These are the so-called gatekeepers? The top 10?'" Rosholt said. "Watching them, I'm like, 'I think I could really run through some of these guys.'
"But that's the future. Experience is what's going to me there. … Within the next year, I want to be in the UFC and show these guys what I can do."

Central Armenia
Central Armenia is Armenia's political, cultural, economic, and transit hub, home to the political and spiritual capitals of Yerevan and Echmiadzin.
Central Armenia includes the marzes of Aragatsotn, Ararat Marz, Armavir and Kotayk.
This is the heart of the nation, with Yerevan at its center. Much of it is comprised of the Ararat valley, which is flat and dry most of the year, and provides spectacular views of Mt. Ararat on a clear day. The valley was split in half after a Turkey invaded shortly after WWI, and the border is still a sensitive area, with Russian troops and bases guarding the Armenian side.
As with the rest of Armenia, Armenian and Russian are pretty much universally spoken, while English, French and German are spoken by few. English is of course gaining in popularity.
Get in[edit]
Most tourists arrive in Armenia at Zvartnots International Airport, in the middle of this region, and stay in Yerevan.
Get around[edit]
Day trips can get you anywhere quite easily. There are plentiful cheap, guided day tours offered by tour agencies all over Yerevan to place like Khor Virap, Garni/Geghard and Echmiadzin/Zvartnots. You can also hire taxis for 100dram/kilometer (30 US cents) and about 1,500/hr ($5) for waiting time if you want to do things at your own pace. Car rentals are more expensive, but useful if you want to strike out on your own into Khosrov Reserve or just explore the Hrazdan Gorge at your own pace.
See[edit][add listing]
West end of Central Armenia[edit]
Amberd Fortress and Byurakan Observatory and Church[edit]
On the southern face of Mt. Aragats, Amberd Fortress is a quick trip from Yerevan and a popular escape from the Yerevan summer heat. The fortress looms over a small church, and both overlook the Ararat Valley and Mt. Ararat across the valley. Further up the mountain is a nice lake which is the starting point for the hike up to the southern peak of Mt. Aragats.
Before reaching Amberd, the village of Byurakan offers the ancient church of S. Hovhannes. Tucked away behind some houses, it is marked with the old Christian cross used before the Armenian cross design came into use. The observatory in the same village was home to Viktor Ambartsumian, a famous astrophysicist, and offers tours during the day, or star gazing at night. Both are usually by appointment, though showing up and asking nicely has been known to work.
Ashtarak and Kasagh River Gorge monuments[edit]
The picturesque town of Ashtarak is less than half an hour from central Yerevan. It has 3 very old churches standing and 2 in ruins. It is also home to Ashtaraki Dzor Restaurant Complex - well worth a stop for a reasonably priced meal and nighttime entertainment show, all outdoors, and long popular with Armenians.
Northwestern Kotayk[edit]
The northwestern parts of Kotayk are mountainous, forested and popular with Armenians as places to go and relax. Hankavan, Tsaghkadzor, Bjni and Aghveran are all well known by Armenians as places where nature is nice, and relaxation is possible not far from Yerevan. Each place has different things to offer, but all offer hills, mountains and forest.
Garni Temple and Geghard Monastery[edit]
These are absolutely obligatory stops for any visitor to Yerevan, for good reason. Garni, a small Roman temple built in the first century by the Armenian king is incredibly sited atop basalt cliffs, and has a ruined bathhouse and the foundations of a temple in the fortified compound as well.
Arguably the most awe-inspiring site in Armenia is the 11th century Monastery of Geghard, much of which is carved out of the solid stone of the mountain it abuts. Once housing (and still named after) the lance that pierced Jesus' side, it is sited at the end of a canyon, surrounded by steep rock mountains, with fortified walls, holy springs, an upper chamber with unparalleled acoustics and many intricate khachkars.
Sardarapat Monument and Museum[edit]
Most in the Armenian Diaspora know the famous song Sardarapat about the battle fought here which saved Armenia from complete annihilation by Turkey after WWI. The monument is large and looks out over today's border with Turkey, drawn after that battle. Adjoining is Armenia's largest ethnographic museum, with a large collection of artifacts from different parts of Armenia. Well worth a visit if you like to see how people lived back in the day.
Echmiadzin Cathedral[edit]
The Cathedral of Echmiadzin, founded in 301 by St. Gregory the Illuminator and rebuilt and added to for over 1,700 years now is the heart of the Armenian Church, and seat of the Catholicos of all Armenians. The altar is built over an ancient pagan fire worshiping pit (accessible from the museum behind the altar), the inside has some interesting frescoes, altar, lamps, and thrones. The intricate bell tower entrance is an addition from the 1800s, and the surrounding grounds have gardens with examples of khachkars from throughout Armenia and further. Near the new entrance gates are a few exquisite khachkar examples from Jugha (now in Azerbaijan) - which had by far the largest khachkar collection in the world. The thousands of khachkars which remained there were destroyed during this decade by the Azeri government.
Two other important churches in the same town, both honoring Roman virgins who were martyred for refusing to marry Armenia's heathen king are.
Khor Virap[edit]
Deep in a pit at Khor Virap, Armenia's Christianity began. Imprisoned here for his heretic faith, St. Gregory the Illuminator was not released until he cured Armenia's king of a terrible disease (some legends say he had turned into a boar). The king, in gratitude converted himself, and Armenia with him, into the first officially Christian nation in the world. The fortified monastery sits on a small hill in a very flat Ararat Valley. The view of the mountain is the best you'll get, though the monastery otherwise is not so remarkable. 45 minutes from Yerevan, this is an easy morning trip, or a quick stop along the road heading to Southern Armenia.
There are buses to and from Yerevan train station. As of Aug 2015, the last bus leaves Yerevan at 14:00. The last bus, which is a mini-van, from Khor Virap is 17:00. The fare is 400 Dram.
Other sites worth visiting[edit]
Do[edit][add listing]
Eat[edit][add listing]
Outside of Yerevan, Central Armenia has a limited food selection to offer. Some of the bigger towns have restaurants or bistros, but outside of this and a small number of roadside barbecue (khorovats) joints, there is very little.
Drink[edit][add listing]
Drinks and sometimes bars are available where food is served.
Stay safe[edit]
Central Armenia is very safe for residents and visitors alike.
Get out[edit]
You'll never be more than an hour away from Yerevan, so you'll likely get back the same way you arrived.

Large carnivores and the conservation of biodiversity
Island Press, 2005 - 526 páginas
Large Carnivores and the Conservation of Biodiversity brings together more than thirty leading scientists and conservation practitioners to consider a key question in environmental conservation: Is the conservation of large carnivores in ecosystems that evolved with their presence equivalent to the conservation of biological diversity within those systems? Building their discussions from empirical, long-term data sets, contributors including James A. Estes, David S. Maehr, Tim McClanahan, AndrFs J. Novaro, John Terborgh, and Rosie Woodroffe explore a variety of issues surrounding the link between predation and biodiversity: What is the evidence for or against the link? Is it stronger in marine systems? What are the implications for conservation strategies?
Large Carnivores and the Conservation of Biodiversity is the first detailed, broad-scale examination of the empirical evidence regarding the role of large carnivores in biodiversity conservation in both marine and terrestrial ecosystems. It contributes to a much more precise and global understanding of when, where, and whether protecting and restoring top predators will directly contribute to the conservation of biodiversity. Everyone concerned with ecology, biodiversity, or large carnivores will find this volume a unique and thought-provoking analysis and synthesis.

Police stun protester with Taser at Concerts on the Square
Police: Man was yelling profanities about state leaders
MADISON, Wis. — A man protesting state government leaders at Concerts on the Square on Wednesday is facing charges after he wouldn't stop yelling profanities and struggled with officers, Madison police said.
The incident happened at 5:30 p.m. before the start of the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra's outdoor concert on the Capitol Square.
Police said William Gruber, 47, of Madison, was yelling profanities about state government leaders and Nazis, and when police asked him to stop being disruptive, he began to weave in and around families that were seated on their blankets and preparing for the concert to begin.
Officers finally caught Gruber, as he continued to yell, "These cops are trying to arrest me and I have pot in my pocket," and he struggled with officers as they attempted to take him into custody, according to a Madison Police Department incident report.
Police said they used a Taser gun to bring Gruber under control, then handcuffed him and took him into custody.
Gruber again used profanity to describe how he felt about being shocked with the Taser, but he was conveyed to the jail just before the concert started, police said.
Police said officers were able to confirm that Gruber was in possession of marijuana.
Madison police said Gruber was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct, resisting an officer and possession of marijuana.

Saxon – Heavy Metal Thunder Live: Eagles Over Wacken limited edition box set (2012)
Had I been paying attention back in April, I would have definitely pre-ordered this set! The pre-order price was 60 British Pounds which comes to about $95 USD + the cost of shipping so I estimate it would have been around $130 USD. Unfortunately, I didn't know about this box set until it had already sold out (in 3 days!) and it's going on Ebay anywhere from $300 to almost $900 at auction and Buy It Now. There were only 500 copies made so it's a rarity for sure…..read the press release below to see what was inside.
From the Saxon online store:
Strictly limited, this exclusive package contains the "Best Of Wacken" DVD, a double audio CD recorded live in Glasgow (2011) on the Call To Arms tour,
plus the full and complete Saxon W:O:A performances from 2004/2007/2009 – each on a separate DVD and, a Saxon flag.
The real surprise is that 10 'Golden Tickets' are randomly included in the box sets, which will allow the 10 lucky winners to visit any Saxon concert in any city around the world (excluding festival appearances).
'Silver Tickets' giving access to special online content are for the remaining boxes so there are no losers – only winners.
SAXON "Heavy Metal Thunder – Live – Eagles Over Wacken"
• DVD 1: Best Of W:O:A (2004/2007/2009)
• Double CD: Glasgow Live, Recorded On The Call To Arms World Tour, April 14th, 2011
• DVD 2: W:O:A 2004 – full show
• DVD 3: W:O:A 2007 – full show
• DVD 4: W:O:A 2009 – Fan's Choice Setlist – full show
• Saxon – Heavy Metal Thunder – W:O:A flag
• "Golden Ticket" / "Silver Ticket"
I already paid $18 for the limited edition 2 CD/DVD version so I would have easily shelled out the extra $112. Full DVDs of each Wacken show and a commemorative Saxon flag are highly collectible as is the special box and the Golden and Silver tickets that allowed buyers to either see Saxon in concert ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD and/or access bonus contect online. Even with the DVDs being PAL format I would have been fine because my DVD player is region free.
Saxon is one of my all-time favorite bands, I can't believe I missed out on this. I will be watching and, if I find one at a decent price (albeit higher than the pre-order), then I will be on the hunt!

Hey Losfer, our mutual friend Odai was in my house today telling me you made this shirt. Small world!
I love your design and I would buy it if it didn't make me a poseur. I'm more of a Little Witch House Academia type
(as an aside, I'm still convinced that a good majority of those "tr00" metalheads who dis Korn all bought the first Korn album back in the day, and loved the piss out of it. Probably still do.)
That album was still a gamechanger, though.

03 November 2016 - STAMFORD, Conn. and LUCCA, Italy
Tagetik Closed Third Quarter 2016 With Record Growth in Cloud Revenue; 85% of North American New Customers Chose to Implement on the Cloud
Company continued profitability streak; recognized by major research firm for modern financial disclosure and compliance reporting required by complex businesses
Tagetik, a leader in global performance management software solutions, announced that its third quarter for 2016 saw a 134% increase in cloud-based annual recurring revenue (YoY). Globally, 45% of new customers acquired in Q3 2016 chose Tagetik's cloud-based solutions; in North America, 85% of new Q3 customers chose to implement in the cloud.
"Tagetik Cloud fits in with our end-to-end cloud tech stack and our philosophy of using scalable, cloud-based services. We are a fast-growing technology startup and need our systems to scale without having to maintain on-premise infrastructure," said Teddy Collins, manager of financial operations for SeatGeek, the creator of a mobile-focused platform that enables fans to buy and sell tickets for sports, concert, and theater events and a new Tagetik customer.
The quarter results also continued Tagetik's profitability streak, with the North American and DACH regions exceeding revenue projections. Tagetik's direct operation in Benelux further confirmed its leadership position in the insurance market. In all, the company acquired 42 new customers during the quarter, including Continental Grain Company, Colas, Endurance Services, Aludium, Mundipharma Australia, Falken Tire Corporation, and RBC Bearing Company of America.
In early October, Tagetik was positioned as a leader, the highest of four categories, in The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Performance Management, Q4 2016. According to the research report, "Tagetik is best suited for multinational enterprises with complex planning, financial consolidation, and compliance reporting needs. It is also a good choice for SAP ERP customers based on its ability to run on SAP HANA."
"The fact that a significant majority of new North American customers have chosen to implement our cloud solution demonstrates our ability to successfully compete against the 'pure-cloud' corporate performance management vendors," said Manuel Vellutini, co-CEO of Tagetik. "All signs point to a stellar 2016 for Tagetik, with an expected global growth of at least 25%."
"The growth in cloud adoption we've seen reflects the continued increase in cloud-related spending reported by IDC, Gartner, and other research firms," said Marco Pierallini, co-CEO of Tagetik. "And for those companies who are not yet ready for the cloud, the fact that we offer customers a deployment choice – on the cloud or on premise with no compromise in functionality -- makes us a safe choice. These customers know they can migrate to the cloud at any time without disrupting their financial processes."
In other third-quarter news, Tagetik hosted its first "Tagetik Insurance Day" conference, September 8 – 9. More than 150 finance executives representing insurance providers in six European countries met to discuss new and upcoming regulatory requirements and reporting changes and the role of technology in meeting these and other disruptive forces that will impact the Office of Finance. Also in September, Tagetik opened a new office in Brussels, a major insurance and financial services center, to support the complex financial requirements and operations of companies throughout Belgium and Luxembourg.

im practicing how to do the do while loop in java and i cannot figure out how to lmake it start with zero instead of one so that the output would be o is o doubled and then quadrupled instedead of it saying number 1 and so forth.
Can someone please tell me how to do that?
here is the code i have written so far.
// NewestDoubleQuadruple.java - This program prints the numbers 0 through 10 along // with their values doubled and quadrupled. // Input: None. // Output: Prints the numbers 0 through 10 along with their doubles and quadruples. public class NewestDoubleQuadruple { public static void main(String args[]) { String head1 = "Number: "; String head2 = "Doubled: "; String head3 = "Quadrupled: "; int numberCounter; // Number 0 through 10. int doubled; // Stores the double of a number. int quadrupled; // Stores the quadruple of a number. final int NUM_LOOPS = 10; // Constant used to control loop. // This is the work done in the housekeeping() method System.out.println("Doubles and Quadruples" + "\n"); // This is the work done in the detailLoop() method numberCounter = 0; // Write your do while loop here do { numberCounter++; doubled=numberCounter*2; quadrupled=numberCounter*4; System.out.println(head1 + numberCounter); System.out.println(head2 + doubled); System.out.println(head3 + quadrupled); } while(numberCounter<NUM_LOOPS); // This is the work done in the EndOfJob() method System.exit(0); } // End of main() method. } // End of NewestDoubleQuadruple class.

The RAPI Demo Example
As we undertake examination of the CE Remote API, or RAPI, we have a couple of practical logistical considerations that weren't part of the picture when we operating in a standalone CE mode: Creating a CE-to-desktop connection, and accounting for performance delays that connection may incur.
If you are connecting to a CE device using a serial link (rather than Ethernet or network connection), the upcoming example programs may execute very slowly. Depending on what you are doing, the access time may be up to a couple of minutes. Walking the Registry tree or getting the files from a large directory are two examples of time-consuming operations. For this reason, I'd strongly recommend that you invest in an Ethernet link for your CE-to-Desktop connection, even if ultimately your application will connect serially.
Because of the large volume of code necessary to an MFC application, I have chosen to omit some of the project files from the source listings shown in this example. The omitted files fall into two categories: the files that contain the application's resources, and those which consist of "boiler plate" generated by the development environment. On balance, these wouldn't add to our explorations, and their sheer bulk might tend obscure the more important material.
Table 1: RapiDemo Project Source Files and Their Uses
|Source File Name
|Header File Name
|File Shown In Example
|Default frame window
|Application object
|Default document
|MFC support
|Default View
|Property Sheet Object
|Property Page
|Property Page
|Property Page
An Overview of the RapiDemo Example
Because there are such a multitude of files and objects that comprise an MFC application, I'd like to start with an overall strategic view of the project. In the RapiDemo example, here's a litany of what objects are being constructed, the chronology of their construction, and the relationship between the objects:
- The application object, RapiDemoApp, is constructed first. It, in turn, creates the document, view, and main frame window objects and establishes a relationship among them. The Visual C++ development tools generate this part of the application automatically.
- In addition, the RapiDemoApp object performs some application specific initialization. This happens in the CRapiDemoApp::InitInstance() function. We make modifications to this function to create and launch a property sheet control.
- Our application implements a property sheet control in the class CAllPages, which is derived from the standard MFC class CPropertySheet.
- An application-specific class, derived from the MFC base class CPropertyPage, implements each page in the property sheet control.
- CAllPages includes a member variable for each individual page of the property sheet. The type of the member variable is the class that implements the page it represents. There are three pages in the control and three member variables that represent them in CAllPages.
- The three RapiDemo property sheet page classes implement page specific initialization and input handling behavior.
- When the property sheet control is launched, the visible page receives user input. The class that implements the page handles the input.
- When the user changes pages by clicking on the property sheet tabs, the property sheet control transparently handles generic page changing behavior. The application has to do application specific initialization for the newly visible page.
- In this example, each page initializes the RAPI subsystem, makes RAPI calls, updates dialog controls on the page, and then unitializes RAPI.
Here's how the RapiDemo example looks when the application is launched. The default page, System Status, has been initialized with values queried from the CE device.
Figure 1: Rapi Demo Running on Desktop Windows.
Looking Ahead
In the next lesson, we'll look into the initialization processing for the RapiDemo application.

Alrighty. Same version as before:http://soundcloud.com/tommauritzon/ffn-wip-3Currently recording some vocals. A mix of my own voice and computerized stuff. Still working it out.I'm a bit short on time and motivation atm. But I aim to get it completed next week sometime.I could give the album cover a shot if I may. I do some art stuff from time to time. http://likfisk.deviantart.com/gallery/Also, good work fellas. Keep it up. ^‿‿^
Music stuff is on hold for like at least two weeks I guess on my part. u____u'I just got accepted for a uni summer course (sound design yay). A few weeks after it started though, so I really need to get that shit done first.
I am still tinkering with some tracks. Nothing official yet but i should have at least 2 extra to my 1 in a couple weeks. I have had great feedback from my In The Shadows album i have been working on some tracks for Volume 2. Cover art i agree should be something original. Or even simple like a cool edited MaSu Trinity. I do like Tom M.'s art as well
That sounds sweet! Cant wait to see what you come up with using the logo. Those two tracks will be uploaded tomorrow. Ima post them in the User Release thread. As for my next MaSu remix venture Im looking at Persona xD i wonder why lol
Some more polish on FFN. Still ain't done though. Getting there.http://soundcloud.com/tommauritzon/fighters-from-ninne-cover-wip

My thoughts and prayers go out to the families who lost loved ones, especially the little ones. What a sad and terrible tragedy.
ABC News reported this incident for hours. At first, they reported the shooter was 24-year-old Ryan Lunza. They said that "he was the new face of mental health". Social media networks went crazy targeting Ryan. Then Ryan made a post that shocked thousands. Now, ABC News "can't be clear on who the shooter is" now they report it was "20-year-old Adam Lunza".
Nonetheless, they claim that no matter which brother is was the "relationship was still the same". I have a problem with this kind of reporting because these two men are not the same people. There didn't seem to be a social profile of Adam that I could find. I couldn't imagine what Ryan is going through. He just lost his family and his brother is the most hated man in America now. I looked at his profile on Facebook before he took it down and I didn't see anything that would show he was a violent person. His profile and little conversation seemed to revolve around art. Now, Ryan is going to be interrogated by the police because there is another crime scene at his parents home.
New information found: Ryan Lanza's ID apparently was taken by his brother, the suspected Connecticut gunman Now the news is reporting that authorities don't believe Ryan was involved. What a way to find out your whole family is dead.
The politicians and media didn't take long to make the tragedy about them and more gun control. President Obama got on air to speak about the situation. He looked like he was crying.
"We are going to have to come together to take action on this" said Obama
Then I came across this story: http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/regions/americas/united-states/121214/sandy-hook-elementary-school-shooting-connecticu
CBS News reported that preliminary information suggested that Adam Lanza, the shooting suspect who killed himself in the school, obtained the guns he used in the shooting legally.
A law enforcement official told CBS News that the guns found at the scene were a Sig Sauer, a Glock 9 and a Bushmaster rifle.
Meanwhile, in Michigan, the Senate and House have passed a bill that would allow the carrying of concealed weapons in areas including schools, churches, day cares and stadiums.
For more on that, read here.
I am a parent. I have an elementary aged child who is in school right now. I don't know if I trust other people's judgement to keep my child or anyone's children safe at this point! What do you think of this situation? Do you have children or grandchildren that attend public schools? Are you worried about something like this happening in your community? What can we do about these mass shootings that won't infringe on our Second Amendment right to bear arms? Should we allow concealed weapons in our schools and churches like they do in Michigan? Michigan approves concealed weapons in schools, churches
The public school system has taken it upon themselves to teach our children about sex and drugs but teach them nothing about gun safety or what to do if someone comes into their school with a gun. When will our teachers be given the training they need to keep themselves and their classrooms safe?
