Doing nothing, being unproductive. Very similar to "dicking around", but one is cocking around when he/she is dicking around when he/she is supposed to be doing work or something important.
At my job, I was supposed to be completing the TPS reports, but I was cocking around instead.

The high priority accorded to Goal 3 of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) "Promote gender equality and empowerment of women" – is an affirmation of the international support for women's rights and gender equality as core values of development. International Women's Day is an opportunity to assess how much progress we have made in this direction and how far there is to go. And it is also an opportunity to focus on women's unique contributions and the problems and opportunities that they face all over the world.
This slideshow is a compilation of resources highlighting the role of women volunteers in empowering other women, and the challenges they face in promoting gender equality and volunteering.

Hamilton College takes seriously its commitment to providing access and opportunity to all students, as demonstrated by our diversity programs and need-blind admission promise. It is also our intention to ensure that all students have equal access to all that Hamilton offers, regardless of their financial background. Thanks to a generous grant from the Hearst Foundation and gifts from members of the Hamilton community, the Hamilton Student Emergency Aid Society (SEAS) and Fund was established to support our students who have the greatest financial need.
The SEAS Fund is intended to support emergency and/or exceptional needs (i.e. a flight home to be with a sick parent, unmet medical expenses, purchasing a suit for job interviews or travel to a career-related activity) for students whose financial barriers are extraordinary. If the request is approved and the need cannot be met through financial aid or some other means, a grant or loan from the SEAS Fund will be issued to cover the expense.
Students with critical needs should write to firstname.lastname@example.com, or feel free to contact any member of the SEAS Committee. All inquiries, nominations, grants or loans will be handled with discretion and confidentiality.

Legislation will not stop people from killing
January 24, 2013
The debate that is going on in D.C. should not be at all focused on guns, but should be placed directly at the problem, violence. Gun control measures only penalize law-abiding citizens....

The question is: Do you craft legislation to punish the actual murderer for his crime?
Or do you craft legislation that punishes law-abiding citizens for owning a helpful tool or those who might own a particular tool previously used by a murderer/criminal?
Knives kill A LOT of people, should we ban those or make them nearly impossible to attain or tax them additionally?
Men have a body part used in countless rapes against women/children, should we ban those or castrate newborn boys or tax them additionally?

November was a very exciting month for LacrosseRecruits.com. We finished and tested the girls side of LacrosseRecruits.com (to be released to the public very soon), we finished guided flash tours of LacrosseRecruits.com (which will be live this week!), and we continued to grow our membership base. An added bonus was a phone call out of the blue from a reporter at Lacrosse Magazine asking for a few quotes from us for their "Recruiting U" series. They had heard about LacrosseRecruits.com through the lacrosse community and were very impressed with our website and the tools we offer our members.
If you are not familiar with the series, "Recruiting U" is a series in each month's issue of Lacrosse Magazine that tackles a different aspect of recruiting. For the month of December, Lacrosse Magazine was taking a look at the myth regarding athletic scholarships. It seems like everyday you hear about somebody going somewhere on a "full ride." The fact is, however, the NCAA allows only 12.6 scholarships for every DI men's lacrosse program and 12 scholarships for every DI woman's program. That being said, not every DI lacrosse team is fully funded and receives all of the scholarship money allowed per NCAA guidelines. We had heard from numerous sources that the number of lacrosse players to EVER receive a full athletic scholarship could be counted on one hand. In the article (which can be viewed here), Coach Dom Starsia of UVA had this to say, "In my 17 years at Virginia, I think we've done it three times, where we've given somebody a full scholarship."
I had a great talk with the reporter and this is what was printed regarding LacrosseRecruits.com:
"If you just look at the scholarship offerings, you're probably talking about the top 150 guys in the country, and there's probably 4,000 kids going in to play college lacrosse at all the levels every year," said Matt Wheeler, a four-year letterwinner at Wesleyan University who, along with former teammate Chris Meade, co-founded lacrosserecruits.com — a Facebook-style Web site designed to market high school lacrosse players to college coaches.
We suggest you read the whole article as Lacrosse Magazine is absolutely right in everything they touch on in this article.
Also featured in the December issue of Lacrosse Magazine was A High School Athlete's Recruiting Guide To College Lacrosse, which is the recruiting guide we wrote and currently sell on LacrosseRecruits.com. This guide was included in "The Scoop" section as a great holiday gift.
The guide helps high school players plan for the recruiting process and helps them avoid the mistakes many high school lacrosse players make. Using this guide along with a LacrosseRecruits.com profile puts any player at a distinct advantage over his or her peers.
Stay tuned for more from LacrosseRecruits.com as we launch the girls side of LacrosseRecruits.com and push the guided flash tours live!

SALEM - Investigators continued to follow leads Wednesday, two days after the death of Melinda Todd in her Salem Township home.
County Prosecutor Robert Herron confirmed Wednesday afternoon a person of interest is being investigated.
He said investigators from the sheriff's department and the county-wide homicide task force were actively working on the case, and his office was providing warrants as requested.

Morning Journal/Patti Schaeffer
Crime scene tape still surrounds the home of Melinda Todd on the corner of state Route 45 and Salmar Drive south of Salem.
Herron said some of the information being provided by tips appears to be turning out to be worthwhile.
"I would encourage anyone who knows anything to come forward at this time," Herron said.
Sheriff Ray Stone said there have been some people eliminated as suspects due to confirmed alibis. For instance, the father of 5-year-old Cole Tyler Reed was in the Mahoning County jail. Todd's boyfriend and another friend also had alibis which checked out, the sheriff said.
Stone said he believes the crime may have happened sometime Monday afternoon, but had not received any official time of death window from the coroner's office as of Wednesday.
Investigators have been canvassing the neighborhood and Stone said no one claims to have heard anything out of the ordinary. Stone said there was no sign of forced entry at the home, but noted he did not know if the door had been locked.
On Wednesday, a deputy was once again going up to the hospital to check on the 5-year-old. Stone said he hopes if the boy regains consciousness he may be able to help investigators solve the case, which includes the death of his grandmother, Melinda Todd, 43, and his own injuries.
Deputies were called to the home at the intersection of state Route 45 and Salmar Drive shortly after 4 p.m. Monday after Todd's 12-year-old and 8-year-old daughters discovered the crime scene when coming home off a school bus. Inside, they found Todd dead and Reed seriously injured with a gunshot wound to the head.
Stone declined to say who the children are staying with, but believed it to be family because Children Services was not contacted to take them.

Worse yet, my ag advisor, Virgil Jons, is calling it enough. I have come to rely on him not just for advice about problems in my field. Virgil under- stood, and cared about, my operation — yet was just enough detached to give great personal advice. I would not have been comfortable being so involved with boards and organizations, and therefore gone so much, without his help.

How is it designed by Apple engineers? All those parts are designed and built by other companies. Apple only decides what goes in and designs the box and OS. That's it, there is not even one Apple internal.

Apple usually has a big part in a lot of the parts that go in them. Yes they are ultimly designed by other company's but apple well atliest it's true when jobs was around would accept or reject design of parts and also helped design how they would look and opperate

This site is not just about reporting on facts of the industry it has a lot more to do with rumors and speculation of future products because well I think that is more entertaining. And the coment sections are there to well coment about those rumors and also debate other coments. And besides the trolls that can ruin an entire comment section, it is what I like to do in my spare time. I am really in to this industry so no I will not wait to comment sir.

okay lets take a look at this article… I am going to list the comments as 1= the first indented comment and 2= the next indented comment
1= snide remark about apple
2= complaining about android fans
3= apple hatred
4= snide remarks about apple
5= more anti-apple talk that 1. isnt true, and 2. has nothing to do with the mockup
6= AN ACTUAL COMMENT (no discussion though sadly since it is so far down)
7= apple hatred
8= apple annoyance
9= snide remarks
10= pointless
11= snide remark
12= pointless
13= apple hate
14= apple hate
15= pointless
So ur telling me 1/15 posts is worth something?
How is anybody supposed to get a good discussion about the mockup through 14 bad discussion leaders?

The hardest errors in these coments is the placement of periods and commas, because that can change the whole meaning of a coment by changing the location or adding those

10. tedkord (Posts: 11646; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Slave labor doesn't get paid and didn't have the choice to work there. Poor working conditions, sure. And Apple are not nearly the only company that uses them.
The good news is, by publicly shaming Apple, we've managed to get the conditions and pay improved some. Tim Cook has at least some conscience, unlike his predecessor. I just wish we could shame him into moving the jobs back to the USA.
12. 305Bucko (Posts: 506; Member since: 07 Aug 2011)

you do realize that every company out there has the same labor practices, just that apple is under the spotlight for making so much money right now, where as other companies offer less benefits and worse working conditions.

oh okay so you will admonish apple for slave labor, which has never been found, but samsung is okay although they use child labor?

neither company is probably in the right, but samsung is no better than apple in this respect..

Very good point but take a look at this story it has nothing to do with that. There should be an entire artical and I am sure there is, that you can debate this

These leaks have been consistent, so it's safe to say this is the new iPhone... Just looks kind of odd, so tall and narrow... Wish Apple would have gone with 4.3" and made it a bit wider as well. Something better be killer with the software, because the hardware seems very lackluster. And they better not pull something like Siri again; put something in that seems like a good idea, then it gets out-done by another thing in a few months (Google Now). Looking forward to the announcement, don't disappoint Apple.

apple didn't really gain anything yet with litigation. maybe some delays or temporary injumctions.
apple should just stop. they should put all their litigation money into innovation. and then they can make something as awesome as the first iphone
I want to like apple. I loved their products and i still love some of them(macbook pro :) retina display)
apple just f**ckin stop. you ain't going anywhere. sue someone when they really copy you(like xiaomi)

Why the f**k do they keep posting IPhone 5 pics???? IT LOOKS THE SAME!!!! Only a little bigger...
43. Phullofphil (Posts: 801; Member since: 10 Feb 2009)
Because every body is drooling over anything apple related that can be found on the net no matter how little of difference in substance that's changes in the artical

You can see by the reflections this is NOT the real iPhone itself but I think a very accurate mock-up.
Well...the only real difference I see is the 4" screen but I'm sure the people from Apple will prove that I am stupid and that it holds over 1000's of INNOVATIVE and UNIQUE features and blah blah.
Have you hipsters prepared your money and tents to wait in front of Apple Stores in September??

iPhone lovers are willing to wait in a shelter for a new iPhone and get fire from their job and it is going to be a permanent shelter in front of Best Buy or Apple Store.

Coming off of its first Atlantic Sun Conference win over Mercer last weekend, the Stetson men's soccer team stays at home this Saturday to host league-leading Florida Gulf Coast in the Hatters' regular season finale at 7:30 p.m.
The win over the Bears last Sunday puts Stetson into a tie for sixth place in the A-Sun with four points. The Hatters are also currently tied for the fifth spot in the A-Sun Tournament since Northern Kentucky is ineligible once again this season. Both Mercer and USC Upstate also have four points in conference play.
FGCU comes to DeLand with an undefeated 4-0-1 mark in league action, holding an overall record of 6-5-2. The Eagles are the defending champions in the A-Sun, but most recently they tied Mercer 0-0 in double overtime at home.
Saturday's match, taking place after the 5:00 p.m. women's soccer contest, will act as Senior Day and as the Hatters' Coaches vs. Cancer contest.
Seniors Chris Aguirre, JJ Bostic, Raffaele Centofanti, Evan Jimmo, Chase Rodgers, Steven Saballos, Andreas Schnabl, and Travis Workman will be honored before the match.
Stetson is also helping to raise money for the American Cancer Society by raffling off a framed, signed jersey. With all proceeds going to cancer research, fans can help out by locating the Coaches vs. Cancer table at Saturday's match.
The game will have general admission tickets priced at $5 for adults and $4 for seniors and students. All home soccer matches are free to Stetson students, faculty, and staff with a Stetson University ID. For more information call (386) 738-HATS.
The match can also be watched live on HatterVision with Ryan Rouse on the call. Live Stats on GoHatters.com, the @StetsonMSoccer Twitter feed, and Hat-Alerts are also available for in-game updates.
• Stetson and Florida Gulf Coast have met six times since beginning the all-time series in 2007. Each team has won three times.
• Last season FGCU defeated Stetson by a score of 2-0 in Fort Myers.
• The Hatters picked up their first Atlantic Sun Conference victory last Sunday, defeating Mercer at home by a score of 1-0 on a goal by senior Chase Rodgers.
• Stetson earned its first Atlantic Sun Conference point of the season on Oct. 11, playing to a 0-0 draw at USC Upstate.
• Rodgers, in his first season with the Hatters, leads Stetson with three goals and six points. Senior Raffaele Centofanti and Evan Jimmo are tied for second on the team with four points (1 goal, 2 assists).
• Four other Hatters have scored in 2013; Gianluca Carbone, JJ Bostic, Dwight Lodge, and Justin Shirah.
• Senior Andreas Schnabl's shutout against Mercer was the 15th of his career, which is a school record.
• Schnabl's eight saves against Mercer also tied a career best. It tied for the most since Logan Potter's 13 vs. Lipscomb on 10/9/09.
• Schnabl was named Atlantic Sun Conference Defensive Player of the Week for his performance against the Bears.

TYRONE - State College's service game got Altoona out of whack early and the Lady Spikers never recovered as the Lady Little Lions swept their way to a second straight District 6 Class AAA girls' volleyball championship Thursday night at the Tyrone Middle School.
State College was victorious by scores of 25-18, 25-18 and 25-13 in a match that lasted only an hour.
In the first set, Altoona jumped out to an early 4-3 lead before State ran off four straight points and never looked back. In the second set, Altoona led 12-10 before SC got rolling and finished strong. SC dominated the third, jumping out 10-2 and cruising home.

Brianna Luciano spikes over SC's Jackie Horner.
"Our serving was big," SC coach Chad Weight said, "and serving to the right people, too. I got angry a few times when we served to the wrong people.
"Serving is always part of our game plan. It makes it much easier on our side then."
State College advances to state tournament competition with an 18-2 record. Altoona closed the books on an 11-5 season.
"We wanted to impose our will on them," Weight continued. "We didn't want to allow them in the game. We know they're very well coached. Karan [Altoona coach Karan Price] always has her teams ready to play.
"I thought they did a really good job when they first came out, but I think we just kind of wore on them a little bit, and that's what I mean by imposing our will."
Price said it was a tough match.
"State College has quality athletes, quality coaches - they bring the whole package," the Altoona coach said. "And, they brought it tonight."
Altoona's offense appeared to be one dimensional with outside hitter Hannah Moore providing much of the spark for the Lady Lions.
"Their service really put us out of system, and because of that, we couldn't get our offense going," Price said. "When we did get going, we have the potential to run off a lot of unforced errors. At times, we're our own worst enemy and tonight, that was the case."
Injuries took its toll on State College early in the season, but Weight said several underclassmen stepped up along the way.
Freshman Kyla Irwin, daughter of State High girls' basketball coach Bethany Irwin, was one of the leaders for the Lady Little Lions with nine kills.
"It's been a work in progress [with her]," Weight said, "but I knew we had something special when I saw her on the middle school team last year. I knew it was just a matter of time with her."
"It's amazing," Irwin said of winning the district championship. "Playing Altoona was so much fun."
Irwin said she was not surprised at becoming one of SC's big options in the middle this season.
"I was hoping," she said, with a smile.
"She's definitely gotten better as the year progressed," Price said. "When you're 6-foot, good things are going to happen once you get experience and start to learn the system.
"She certainly has done that."
Despite the loss, Price credited her team's effort.
"We really stacked our schedule," she said. "We've gone through some tough battles and, even with this match, we didn't quit, and that's going to pay off later in life."
Game notes: Altoona statistical leaders: Hannah Moore, 11 kills; Natalie Biesecker, five blocks; Shannon Albright, five service points, 18 digs. ... SC leaders: Christine Irwin, 12 kills; Suzanne Horner, 18 assists, eight digs; Sydney McNulty, four blocks.

Southern Baptists to begin Bible study
First Southern Baptist Church of Durango will begin a detailed study of Revelation at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in the church�s Fellowship Hall, 1715 West Second Ave.
The 22-week study will be a chapter-by-chapter and verse-by-verse study of the New Testament.
For more information, call 247-3821.
3D project aims at Calif.�s historic Spanish missions
LOS ANGELES � California�s centuries-old Spanish missions are getting cutting-edge 3D treatment.
An Oakland-based nonprofit called CyArk is using 3D technology to scan the historic missions in an effort to preserve them, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The idea is to make a virtual 3D model of the structures, so if they�re damaged in earthquakes or fires, for example, the model provides a precise outline down to the millimeter for easier reconstruction.
CyArk is the brainchild of retired civil engineer Ben Kacyra, who helped develop a portable 3D laser scanner that can send out 50,000 beams a second.
Kacyra, 72, said the device�s invention was inspired by the Taliban�s destruction of two, 1,500-year-old Buddha statues in Afghanistan in 2001. �This was a concentrated effort to destroy history by people who didn�t agree with it,� he said.
So far, CyArk�s team has recorded 70 sites, including the Japanese-American internment camp at Manzanar, ruins at Pompeii, Italy, and a Frank Lloyd Wright synagogue in Pittsburgh.
A current project involves recording California�s 21 historic missions, four presidios and three pueblos over the next two to three years. Most of the project�s $700,000 to $800,000 cost will be paid by preservation groups and private donations.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Josh Hartnett
- 1993
A Lucky Break
A knee injury forces 15-year-old Hartnett off his St. Paul, Minn. high school football team – and an aunt coaxes him onto the stage. His first role: Huck Finn in Minnesota's Youth Performance Company's production of Tom Sawyer. He's so cute girls swipe his headshots. Shortly after, he's discovered by a local talent scout and models for Mervyns department stores and Northwest Airlines. "I was crazy embarrassed," Hartnett tells the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "You're flying across the screen in those stupid jeans, and they make you look so goofy."
- 1996
School Daze
After graduation, Hartnett works in a video store. "I watched and rewatched movies like The Usual Suspects, Trainspotting, Basquiat and 12 Monkeys," he tells the New York Times. "I said: 'People in Hollywood are doing work like that? I want to go out there.'" He attends SUNY-Purchase's theater program in New York briefly before moving to L.A. for TV pilot season, where he auditions for some 50 projects in three weeks. He lands a role on the new ABC crime series Cracker (right), which airs only nine episodes.
- 1998
Horror Hottie
Hartnett plays Jamie Lee Curtis' son in the horror sequel Halloween H20 (pictured with costar Michelle Williams). H20's co-executive producer Kevin Williamson works on another slasher flick, The Faculty, which also stars Hartnett that year. As a joint promotion, the actor, who has been dubbed "Hotnett" by fans, models jeans in a Tommy Hilfiger commercial with The Faculty cast, including Elijah Wood and Usher.
- 1999
Oh My Josh
Hartnett gets a call from Warren Beatty, and three days later he is cast in Town & Country. He follows the comedy up with O, a modern Othello, where he plays Hugo to Mekhi Phifer's Odin (right). "Then I went straight to Here on Earth, which was great, because it was in Minnesota, so I got to be home," he tells Movieline. He also stars in the dark comedy Blow Dry, where he's a barber cutting dead people's hair. For his busy year, he lands on Teen People's 21 Hottest Stars Under 21 list.
- 2001
Fame and Infamy
Vanity Fair puts Hartnett on its cover, saying: "Admit It. Two Weeks ago, you'd never heard of Josh Hartnett. What a difference a costly summer blockbuster makes." That costly summer blockbuster is Pearl Harbor, where he plays Ben Affleck's (left) best friend and steals Kate Beckinsale's heart. He follows it up with another war drama Black Hawk Down.
- 2002
Sex, Yoga & Bombs
After the war movies, there is sex – or really, no sex – as Hartnett gives it up for 40 Days and 40 Nights. In real life, he personally attempts this and barely lasts two weeks. He also lands on PEOPLE's 50 Most Beautiful list and spends seven months practicing downward dogs to play a detective who moonlights as a yoga instructor opposite Harrison Ford in the box-office bomb Hollywood Homicide (right). After the failure, he takes a break from acting, retreating to Minnesota for 14 months.
- 2005
Sin City
Hartnett stars in Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller's ultra-violent Sin City. The film, which explores a miserable and corrupted city, also stars Bruce Willis, Clive Owen, Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson and Marley Shelton (left).
Scarlett Fever
Hartnett meets Scarlett Johansson (right) on the set of The Black Dahlia, where he plays a detective in the real-life case. "It's hard for me to work closely with a girl and not completely fall in love with her as a person," he once told Teen People in 2002. The golden couple keeps mum about their relationship until its end in 2007.
- 2007
Resurrecting Horror
Hartnett's vampire flick 30 Days of Night (pictured with costars Manu Bennett and Melissa George) is his first No.1 opener since Sin City. While promoting the film, the single star is caught off guard when asked about his rumored relationship with Rihanna. A visibly uncomfortable Hartnett says: "Whoa...C'mon you guys...This is...uh...We weren't supposed to talk about these things were we?"
- 2009
A Model Romance
With his relationship with Johansson long behind him, Hartnett couples up with Norwegian model Sophia Lie, whom he's seen with around New York City, where the pair is first spotted holding hands. The couple dates for more than two years before calling it quits.

An Elkins man arrested this week on 36 felony charges, including incest and sexual assault, remained incarcerated Wednesday on a $360,000 cash only bond.
Derek Jason Shifflett, 30, was arrested Tuesday and charged with 12 felony counts of incest; 12 felony counts of first-degree sexual assault; and 12 counts of sexual abuse by a parent, guardian, custodian or person in a position of trust to a child. Shifflett was lodged in the Tygart Valley Regional Jail, awaiting his preliminary hearing as of presstime Wednesday.
According to the criminal complaint in the Randolph County Magistrate's Office, Shifflett allegedly repeatedly sexually abused a female minor younger than 13. The abuse allegedly took place on multiple occasions from Sept. 27, 2011 through Sept. 27, 2012.
Article Photos
The complaint states that Deputy A.J. Vanscoy with the Randolph County Sheriff's Department met with an adult complainant on Sept. 25 at the Elkins Police Department. During the meeting, the complainant informed Vanscoy that Shifflett had been "fondling" the victim for the past year and that Shifflett had her perform lewd sexual acts.
Vanscoy forwarded the case to Allyson Scott with Child Protective Services, who subsequently interviewed the alleged female victim. Randolph County Magistrate Rob Elbon said the victim and another underage male living with Shifflett were removed from the home and are now in CPS custody.

Cunnilingus performed by shaking the head rapidly from side to side and allowing the tip of the tongue to rapidly brush the clitoris.
When I went down on her, she asked for a velvet buzzsaw, and came in 60 seconds.

Haa, funny. I just met with someone from NS who said the same thing. I have to say that as someone who is half Canadian (mom) I need to push for some love for my friends and family in the GWN.
Actually that's a great idea. When I am back in Graz this Fall in front of one of those cameras with it on it's side like that I will do just that and get a photo of the team that creates it.
Thanks for the idea

Sir Tim Berners Lee, inventor of the WWW was in Kenya very recently and yesterday he was at Strathmore University where he talked a bit about the WWW, it's origins and where it is going. I had the honor of presenting about African Pixel and Afrinnovator (http://www.afrinnovator.com/) at the same event, amongst other tech entrepreneurs and innovators in Kenya. The idea was to give Sir Tim the opportunity to see some of what is happening in Kenya in terms of innovation.

According to legend, Sacajawea—the Native American woman who helped guide the Lewis and Clark expedition through the American wilderness—is buried on the Wind River Reservation. Now, a college professor—and longtime friend of Arapaho attorney Vicky Holden—has disappeared while seeking the truth behind the legend.
Vicky and Father John O'Malley soon discover that her missing friend is linked to another female historian who also vanished on the reservation—while researching Sacajawea twenty years ago.

Can I ship a rifle to an FFL, and if so, which carrier can I use? UPS states that they do not ship unless FFL to FFL.

I've shipped long guns through UPS before going to an FFL. I've always had it prepackaged and shipped it from the depot without issue. The only catch is that it needs to be shipped second day air IIRC.
January 24, 2013, 11:58 AM
You can ship a rifle to an FFL no problem via USPS, UPS, or FedEx. If it's a handgun, it has to either go UPS or FedEx unless you have an FFL. If you do UPS or FedEx, make sure you take it to one of their main centers, not a UPS Store or FedEx Office.
January 24, 2013, 12:05 PM
Okay. Thanks. Which is the cheapest to utilize [in general]?
January 24, 2013, 12:05 PM
anybody can ship to an FFL, if you are nervous just include a copy of the FFL inside with the gun
January 24, 2013, 12:10 PM
Be sure to contact the receiving FFL before shipping anything. Some will only accept from other FFL's, despite it being perfectly legal to accept from an individual.
January 24, 2013, 12:13 PM
Excellent advice zoom. Good to know!
January 24, 2013, 12:16 PM
Okay. Thanks. Which is the cheapest to utilize [in general]?
I've used both UPS ground and USPS Priority Mail. They were about the same for what I was shipping. (action and separate barrel) I use USPS most of the time now and use nice heavy-duty boxes that don't advertise "I'm a gun. Steal me!" Weed-eater boxes and the like work great.
January 24, 2013, 02:40 PM
It is not necessary to have a license, or work through a dealer to ship firearms to an FFL.
You can find the ATF answer to your question here: http://bit.ly/Atf4ShIP
You can find UPS Firearm Shipping Terms here: http://bit.ly/Ups3GuNS
If you're interested in how to pack firearms for shipment, I've put together step-by-step instructions here: http://bit.ly/Trig7ShIP
If you go with UPS, ALWAYS take your box to the nearest customer center. UPS Stores cannot accept firearm shipments.
January 24, 2013, 02:43 PM
Okay. Thanks. Which is the cheapest to utilize [in general]?
It's a toss up. For handguns, though, definitely cheaper to have an FFL send it USPS for you. Overnight is usually +/- $100 with UPS or Fed Ex; FFL can send it USPS flat rate box.
January 24, 2013, 03:14 PM
So, from what I understand, I specify to the UPS center guy that it is a rifle, but have nothing of what it is on the box. What is the cheapest way UPS will allow a rifle to be sent? I want to be knowledgeable before going there.
January 24, 2013, 03:20 PM
A rifle can be shipped UPS ground. A handgun needs to be Next Day Air. Railgun posted a link to the UPS regs just above.
To ship any gun, you must go to a official UPS service counter, not a UPS Store pack and ship place.
In the past when I've had difficulty, I called the UPS customer service number (1-800-PICK-UPS) right there and spoke with a representative to clear up their rules. It's better than trying to argue with a person behind the counter who is apparently misinformed.
January 24, 2013, 03:37 PM
My city has a UPS center, so I can take it there. I will get a new box from the UPS store, at least.
January 24, 2013, 05:45 PM
My city has a UPS center, so I can take it there. I will get a new box from the UPS store, at least.
If you have FedEx ground any where near you, that will be cheaper still.
January 24, 2013, 07:25 PM
It's always wise to pre-arrange shipping to an FFL, whether from yourself or from an on-line purchase. Develop a relationship with a good one locally, and you've got a friend for life.
January 24, 2013, 07:40 PM
Turns out that this thread wasn't necessary. Called his FFL and they only take firearms from another FFL. Found one in my city who will ship it for me. Adds to the cost. . . . . . . oh well.

The late Art and Mary Miller of Helena were married 45 years before they passed away. Now, five of their sons, all 70 and older, are following their parents' example. The five have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversaries over a five-year period.
Four of the couples participated in the interview for this article. They included August "Gus" and Pat of Helena; Steve and Marilyn of Tiffin; George and Carol of Kansas, Ohio; and Phil and Helen, also of Tiffin. Jerry and Shirley of Fremont sent information about themselves and their wedding photo. The sixth brother is still working on the 50-year milestone.
"Denny's a rookie. He's only been married 40 years," Gus joked. "There were 11 of us, six boys, five girls. ... At the time of their marriage, Dad was 31. It's a good thing he didn't get married at 21 or there'd have been 25 of us."
Article Photos
A photo taken in September shows (from left) Pat and Gus Miller, Marilyn and Steve Miller, Helen and Phil Miller, Shirley and Jerry Miller, and Carol and George Miller.
"It might be noteworthy that Millersville was founded by our great-great-grandfather," Steve said.
All the brothers are still practicing Catholics, and faith remains an important part of their lives. All the brothers were altar boys at Millersville St. Mary. They attended the parish school until grade 8 and then graduated from St. Joseph High School in Fremont.
They remembered the fierce rivalry between St. Joe and Calvert.
"Our folks were pillars of the church there at St. Mary's Millersville," Gus said.
Pat and Gus
Gus and his wife, Pat, reside on the family homestead in Helena. They were married July 4, 1959, so their 50th anniversary was in 2009. They have five adopted children, five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
"I was from Clyde and he was from Millersville. We met in Fremont at FCCY, Fremont Council of Catholic Youth. We were on a bowling team. That's when I fell in love with him immediately. I went home and told my family I had found the man I want to marry," she said.
"It took awhile before anybody told me," Gus chimed in. "I was the last to find out, but it was better than not finding out at all."
When Pat went to meet Art Miller, she discovered where Gus had obtained his sense of humor. Pat said her father-in-law "just teased the heck out of me," and she never knew when he was serious and when he was joking.
An electrician, Gus is retired from Whirlpool in Clyde. Pat worked at the News-Messenger in Fremont for about eight years before staying home to raise her children.
"Moms are very important. All of us were stay-at-home moms," Pat said.
Later, she worked in the kitchen at Ole Zim's Wagon Shed. Over 30 years, she also worked in various capacities for the Sisters of Mercy at St. Bernadine Home in Fremont. She and Gus now do regular rest home visits and are active in Cursillo, a national Christian program.
Steve and Marilyn
Married Nov. 27, 1958, Steve and Marilyn met at Meadowbrook Park. Steve said they also did a lot of square dancing at Ole Zim's. The couple has three children and five grandchildren.
Many people know Steve through his wooden Santa figures. He does the carving and Marilyn does the painting. They have shown their work at many craft shows and art fairs.
"I've had a lot of careers. I worked at Atlas Crankshaft for almost 30 years. The last 10 or 12 years, I was a supervisor," Steve said.
When the company reorganized, he was given a retirement package at age 48. After that, he and Marilyn operated Miller Lawn Service about 20 years. During the summers, Marilyn tended the planters in downtown Tiffin. Steve installed a number of water features and other landscaping work.
"She was the brains. I was the shovel man," he said.
Now, Steve is a member of Seneca Carvers and teaches carving classes at Sentinel Career and Technology Center. He said people always remark they can see him in his many Santa figures. Some of them include a dog at Santa's feet, a detail that attracted a long-distance customer.
"I've started to do a little bit of custom carving. I recently had a lady in Washington state call me. She had seen one of my carvings on the Web, which I described as a Scottie terrier. She let me know it was not a Scottie. It was a Westie - and could I do one?"
The call came in late November, with a request for dog figures as Christmas gifts. Steve hurriedly carved two Westies, Marilyn painted them, and they were packed and shipped to the woman. Steve said the woman and her husband breed Scotties and judge at dog shows.
Jerry and Shirley
Five seems to be a good number for Jerry and Shirley Miller. They were married on the fifth day of the fifth month in 1962 and have five children. Jerry retired five years ago after 48 years working at Ludlow Composites in Fremont.
"We first met 60 years ago at her cousin's house. I asked her to dance five years ago and have danced with her ever since," Jerry wrote.
Their teamwork continued as the couple owned and operated Miller's Nursery and Christmas Tree Farm for 39 years. In addition, Shirley also volunteered for Heartbeat, the Red Cross and other charitable organizations.
Now, they have more time for traveling to visit their children and four grandchildren in Irving, Texas, and the Ohio cities of Avon, Dublin, Perrysburg and Tallmadge. They also enjoy bluegrass music and activities at the senior center.
George and Carol
Residents of Kansas, Ohio, George and Carol were married June 23, 1962. They have four sons (two married more than 25 years) and 12 grandchildren, two of whom are married. One great-grandson lives in San Antonio. George's employment included Atlas Crankshaft in Gibsonburg and Tony's Bakery, H.J. Heinz Co. and Pioneer Sugar in Fremont. He has coached youth basketball, baseball and flag football.
"I retired from National Electric Carbon Corp. ... 37 years, I worked there."
Although he "retired" in 2000, George continues to stay busy as a deacon at St. Patrick and St. Andrew Parish in Bascom. He does many tasks to assist the Rev. Tim Kummerer, who also oversees All Saints Parish in New Riegel. George was ordained a permanent deacon in 1982. He served 24 years at Millersville St. Mary and Kansas St. James. He started his current assignment Jan. 1, 2006.
A secretary, Carol has worked at Ohio Farmers in Fostoria, Lakota Schools and for 32 years as bookkeeper/ secretary/business manager for Millersville St. Mary Church and School and Kansas St. James Parish. Carol was a 4-H adviser for 10 years and was a correspondent for the News-Messenger. She has been active with church groups, the PTA and an advisory board.
Together, the couple has been active in numerous religious groups affiliated with the Diocese of Toledo. They are members of NAMI of Seneca, Sandusky and Wyandot Counties and enjoy spending time at Erie Island Resort.
Helen and Phil
Helen and Phil celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in September. They have five children, 12 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
"We met at Meadowbrook. They used to have square dances on Sunday nights. We used to get together a couple times during the winter for our square dance for quite a few years until some of us got old," Phil said, alluding to his brothers.
Phil said he worked at National Machinery for about 31 years, retiring seven years ago. Helen is retired from St. Joseph Credit Union. Now, they volunteer at Mercy Tiffin Hospital and The Ritz Theatre.
Staying connected
In addition to heredity, the couples also are connected by friendship and common interests. Many of those interests were formed on the Miller farm. All the boys drove the tractor and helped with the livestock (sheep, cows, chickens and pigs).
George remembered a well in the barn for the livestock.
"We didn't have electricity or running water until the mid '40s. A water bucket set on the end of the counter with a dipper in it," Gus recalled.
The farmhouse had a crank telephone and was on a party line with 10 or 12 other homes. Gus called it the "mass communication" of its day. Originally, the farm had 175 acres. Gus said he sold a few lots, but the rest is rented to other family members.
"This past year, we received a plaque from the Diocese of Toledo for keeping the farm in the family. They call it the Century Farm Program, and we received that plaque," Gus said.
Art and Mary also taught the Miller children to take time for recreation and socializing with music, food, card games and sports. The Miller brothers have golf outings together in the summer. Pat said her father-in-law golfed with them as long as he was able.
"I think we're all self-taught," Phil said.
"When their dad retired from farming and school bus driving, he got interested in golf and joined a senior golf league," Pat said.
"That was after he retired from ice skating and baseball," George said. "He was on ice skates, I remember, when he was 55 years old."
"He was a very dedicated baseball fan, a Cleveland Indians fan, his entire life. He's been known to watch one game on TV and listen to another one on the radio," Gus said.
Steve added they all are fans of Ohio sports clubs and are natural Ohio State Buckeye fans, as well.
"And Mom was a cannonized saint," George said.
Mary was a registered nurse who earned her degree from Mercy in Toledo. A number of family members have followed in her footsteps and gone into medical careers.
"Mom used to rock us in the rocking chair. How many could she hold at a time - four or five? I remember the rocking chair breaking already," George said. "And she would sing to us."
"I think I got booted out early, so I don't remember," Gus said. "The younger ones had priority."
Carol remembered Art playing piano and singing popular songs at family gatherings. She said sometimes he made up the lyrics. Gus said his dad and all his brothers and sisters would sing together, especially for high school graduation parties.
"We had three sisters who all played the piano, and they'd each sit at the piano for a half-hour or an hour, and we sang everything from the old vaudeville days, the songs that were popular back then," Gus said.
"We didn't even have to drink to be crazy," George added.
"We still all get together and play pinochle," Carol said.
"When we were big enough to hold a hand of cards, Dad would teach us to play pinochle, and we love the game to this day," Gus said. "When we were young, our parish used to have card parties - a lot of them - maybe once or twice a month on Sunday evening. There'd be 150 people or so there to play pinochle and euchre. There were probably 20 tables of each. They had raffles and stuff. We thought it was a great way to spend a Sunday evening."
"I remember laughing at old people that were probably younger than I am now," George said.
As an extension of the music, the Millers liked to dance. As mentioned, three of the couples met at Meadowbrook Ballroom. Gus said he and Pat also danced with the Tiffin T-Squares for years for the exercise and fellowship. He remembered Clayton Decker and the Red Shirts who provided music and called the square dances. For wedding receptions, the band would perform a grand march that included several formations.
"You danced with probably a dozen different people before you got back to your partner. Then, at the conclusion of that, the front of that line went to the food. ... If you were hungry, you got in the grand march because it ended up at the food line," Gus said.
Many weddings have brought the Miller family together, but they also try to have a family reunion each summer. The siblings take turns from youngest to oldest to host the reunions and pass on family stories. Children and grandchildren often come from other states for the reunions.
"At the last one (2013), they had 89 family members there," Carol said.
If everyone shows up, the crowd numbers 140. Pat said the men's sisters Ann and Pat are deceased, but their children often travel from California, Arizona and Wisconsin to attend the reunions.
"We're still their family," Pat said.

Eighteen DD2 schools are being recognized as energy stars for using less energy.
DD2 has partnered with Control Management, Inc. (CMI) to successfully earn Energy Star certification for the 18 schools. Energy Star is a voluntary U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) program that delivers environmental benefits and financial value through superior energy efficiency.
Mary Joyce Freibert, energy manager for the school district, recognized the 18 schools at DD2s board meeting June 23. Freibert was hired more than two years ago to implement an energy-saving program for the district.
Freibert said schools who earn an Energy Star certification use 35 percent less energy and have 35 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions than similar buildings.
This was done through teamwork, Freibert said, adding strategies to use less energy included setting temperatures back in the evenings, working with the schools, allowing CMI to do programming with the schools so they would operate more efficiently, and having technicians check on heating and cooling equipment.
It just hasnt been one thing, Freiber said. Its been everyone working together as a team to reduce our energy consumption and get these buildings Energy Star certified.
A score of 50 represents typical performance, while a score of 75 indicates that a facility performs better than 75 percent of all similar facilities nationwide. An Energy Star certificate goes to a school with a score of 75 or higher.
DD2 schools Energy Star scores are as follows:
Fort Dorchester High 92
Reeves Elementary 91
Ashley Ridge High 90
Dubose Middle 88
Alston Middle 85
Summerville Elementary and Rollings Middle School of the Arts campus 85
Oakbrook Elementary and Oakbrook Middle campus 84
Beech Hill Elementary 83
Spann Elementary 83
Windsor Hill Elementary 83
Givhans Alternative Program 82
Knightsville Elementary 81
Summerville High 81
Flowertown Elementary and Newington Elementary campus 77
Gregg Middle 77
Fort Dorchester Elementary 71
Eagle Nest Elementary 64
River Oaks Middle 64
Pye Elementary 25
Freibert said earning an Energy Star certificate for 18 schools is very impressive.
We are one of the top (districts) in South Carolina for receiving that many certifications for our schools, she said. Weve done really well. We should be very proud.

City Council held a relatively tame budget work session Wednesday that was focused on Mayor Gabriel J. Campana's proposed budgets for the police, fire, government and recreation departments.
Campana wants the police force to be reduced from 52 to 49 officers and has budgeted $7.7 million for the department.
This year's police budget was $7.1 million.

CRAIG?S. McKIBBEN JR./Sun-Gazette
Joseph Pawlak, left, budget and fiscal officer for Williamsport answers a question Wednesday night posed to him by a City Council member as Mayor Gabriel J. Campana looks on.
Pensions rose for uniformed employees by an average of $11,000 or more, while health care across the board for all employees goes up 11 percent, according to Joe Pawlak, city budget and fiscal officer.
Councilman Jonathan Williamson asked Police Chief Gregory A. Foresman the cost to pay salary, pension, health care, equipment and training per officer. "About $100,000," Foresman said.
Foresman said he managed to keep overtime expenses down because the city didn't have an overabundance of major incidents requiring extensive investigation and time.
Among his requests is a $360,000 records-management system he says will help enable the department to more effectively use its manpower and keep track of incidents. He also would like to be able to buy four police cruisers.
The fire department's proposed $6.2 million budget reflects a staff of 30 firefighters and three command staff. This year's fire budget is $5.5 million. The budget passed last year was for 32 officers and three command staff, but two firefighter positions were not filled.
It costs taxpayers $60,000 per firefighter. Fire Chief Dean Heinbach said he continues to pursue state grants to be able to pay for new engines and equipment. The high cost of replacing engines, estimated at $500,000 apiece, may require adding chassis to the existing vehicles.
The proposed codes department budget is $637,687 and it costs taxpayers about $45,000 to pay for a codes officer receiving benefits. Codes Administrator Joe Gerardi indicated a plan to utilize assistant fire chief Todd Heckman for about 10 hours per week to assist in codes duties.
The proposed budget for City Council is $362,450, but $85,200 budgeted for pensions does not mean each member of council is getting a large pension. The actual pension benefit for council
is dependent upon salary. The late Dr. Randall Hipple, for example, who served 30-plus years on council, received a monthly pension of $90, according to council President Bill Hall. "It's spreading out costs," Pawlak explained of the pension line item.
The proposed recreation department budget is $120,700, according to Justin Simpson, recreation director.
It does not include the Showers Estate Pool at Brandon Park or Memorial Pool, he said. The East End Pool at Shaw Place Park is expected to be upgraded next year using matching funds of $250,000 and a $250,000 grant, he said.
A design for the pool shows a slide and a water spray area.
Council meets for the first reading of the proposed budget Dec. 6.

I'm looking for some free software that I can use for mapping my family tree. Does anyone know of an application that does that kind of thing? The ones I keep finding are commercial or shareware only.
Family tree software
If you are on Linux, have a look at Genealogical Research and Analysis Management Programming System (GRAMPS).
I'm not quite ready to pour in the family history material that I have collated so far, but I have been reading lots on the GRAMPS web site and wiki.
As well as information on how to use GRAMPS the wiki includes links to genealogy resources.
article at FSM
There's a very nice tutorial for GRAMPS here at the FSM:
Again... what a response!
I can't believe it! FSM has already covered this software. That looks like a great article. Thanks jacqueline and Mauro I think this is the answer but I'll have to wait til I get Ubuntu installed.
no you don't
I wrote the article in question so glad it helps.
You don't have to wait to install Ubuntu before using GRAMPS, try the Linux Genealogy Desktop CD — an Ubuntu based Live CD which has GRAMPS, GeneWeb and Lifelines installed.
used GRAMPS for about a year
I'm using GRAMPS now and have for about a year.... it does almost everything that commercial ones do.... the one thing that the commercial ones do is have some provided background images to use for things like the trees that you just click on and a wad of cds with things like death records....we discovered my dad...folks long divorced, in them..
My better half uses FTM...but she's beginning to look at GRAMPS with a new eye!
I'm always worried about
I'm always worried about using family tree software even though the chances are low what would happen if you saw two family members were related, would people start wondering how to save your marriage or start looking for counselors or lawyers.
There's always a risk
When you embark on family tree research (the software is largely secondary to this issue) there is always a risk of finding something you'd rather not know.
I know of a few cases where things like illegitimacy and "marriages" that were not in previous generations (who are still alive) have emerged following family tree research. Of course there's also the risk that you find out your are descended from unsavoury characters as well.
In my own family research we thought we had discovered that my great grand-parents married after the birth of my grandmother but further (lengthy) research revealed we were looking at two very similar but different families. The risk is there and as with anything you simply have to calculate how far you want go with it. It's also important to not react too quickly when you find something as I have indicated above.
With regards this:
what would happen if you saw two family members were related, would people start wondering how to save your marriage or start looking for counselors or lawyers.
Assuming you mean two married family members, then the legal issue is really only if they are siblings. In many countries anything more distant is still legal and only causes problems if it continues down many subsequent generations. Family tree research will not always be the catalyst to highlight this kind of occurrence anyway.

Northwest Regional Police said they are investigating an attempted robbery at a hotel in Mount Joy Township.
Officers were called to the Holiday Inn Express in the 100 block of Merts Drive at 8:20 a.m. Monday.
A man walked into the lobby and showed a handwritten note to the front desk clerk, asking for the clerk to empty the cash register, police said.
The clerk told the man there was no cash and he left in a gray-blue Chevrolet Cobalt, police said.
Anyone with any information is asked to call Northwest Regional Police Department at 717-367-8481.

A Missouri woman who was convicted of three misdemeanors for her role in an online harassment of a teenager who committed suicide has been provisionally acquitted.
Lori Drew conspired with her daughter Sarah Drew and Ashley Grills to gather information about thirteen year old Megan Meier and humiliate her. This was done in retribution for Meier allegedly spreading gossip and rumors about Drew's daughter.
The three created the fictional MySpace persona of "Josh Evans" and befriended Meier. Eventually the Evans persona turned hostile, with the final message sent to Meier reading: "Everybody in O'Fallon knows how you are. You are a bad person and everybody hates you. Have a shitty rest of your life. The world would be a better place without you."
Meier responded with a message reading "You're the kind of boy a girl would kill herself over." She was found hanging by her neck twenty minutes after her last message was sent.
Federal District Judge George Wu provisionally threw out the convictions because Drew's conviction on illegal access hinged on the fact that she violated MySpace's Terms of Service by creating a false account. Creating a false account is not a criminal offence, and Judge Wu did not want to create a precedent that could be used to convict millions of other Internet users.
"This is conduct done every day by millions and millions of people," Judge Wu rationalized.
Lori Drew was not directly charged with causing Megan's death, but was instead indicted under the Federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
The case has been a rallying cry for anti-online harassment legislation. Assemblyman Ted Lieu introduced Assembly Bill 86 in the California legislature in August 2008, and Congresswoman Linda T. Sanchez introduced H.R. 6123 as the "Megan Meier Cyberbullying Prevention Act" to amend Title 18 of the United States Code on May 22 2008.
quote: Ok, so now the state should create laws to stop suicide, and exactly what kind of mindest is that may I ask? How can a law stop a suicide? if a person wants to kill themself then no law will stop that or even reduce it.
quote: I do not agree that 2 seperate events happened in this case, there was only 1 event, the suicide.
quote: Befriending someone on myspace is not harassment, and even telling them that the world would be a better place without them is not harassment. States do have harassment laws and none fit this case simply because there was no harassment committed.
quote: I think these parents should be questioned as to why they did not know more about thier daughters activities online. I have a 13 yr. old and I watch his travels online very closely, in fact, I use a keylogger to further watch his actions. parents need to get off thier ass and pay closer attention to what thier kids are doing.
