General Description
Great Gray Owls are the largest owl species in North America. They have a wingspan over 4 feet with a body length of up to 27 inches. They can weigh over 2 pounds. Females are usually larger than males, but they are otherwise identical in appearance. Great Gray Owls have a large, rounded, half-domed head with a flat face and no ear tufts (Bull and Duncan 1993, Sibley 2000). Their eyes are yellow, but look rather small due to the ringed facial disks. The bill is mostly yellow with a black patch below separating white lores that give Great Gray Owls their classic bow-tied appearance. The plumage is mostly gray with patches of whites and browns. The tail is fairly long and is also brown and gray (Bull and Duncan 1993).
The vocalization of Great Gray Owls is a series of deep resonating "
that falls in pitch and accelerates (Cramp 1985).
Diagnostic Characteristics
Great Gray Owls are distinguished from Barred Owls (
Strix varia
) by their much larger size, yellow eyes, bow-tie under the face, the lack of barring on the breast, and the better defined concentric rings on the face (Bull and Duncan 1993). Great Gray Owls are distinguished from their other closest relative, the Spotted Owl (
Strix occidentalis
), by many of the same physical characteristics, much larger size, yellow eyes, and bow-tie. Also, the ranges of Great Gray Owl and Spotted Owl do not usually overlap, unless extreme southern movements occur by Great Gray Owls in winter.

Very little information regarding migratory patterns exist for Great Gray Owls in the state, as they are a resident species in Montana, both during the breeding season and in winter. The Montana Bird Distribution Committee (2012) has transient Great Gray Owl records for every month of the year. During periods of low prey abundance and/or large snowfalls birds may move from higher to lower altitudes within the state. Also, birds from Canada may move into the state during winter for similar reasons.
Little specific habitat information for Montana is currently available, as systematic surveys for Great Gray Owls have not been done. Great Gray Owls are known to use lodgepole pine/Douglas-fir in Montana. Habitat information from other Great Gray Owl sources state that their habitat is dense coniferous and hardwood forest, especially pine, spruce, paper birch, poplar, and second-growth, and especially near water. They forage in wet meadows, boreal forests and spruce-tamarack bogs in the far north, and coniferous forest and meadows in mountainous areas.
Great Gray Owls nest in the tops of large broken-off tree trunks (especially in the south), in old nests of other large birds (e.g., hawk nest) (especially in the north), or in debris platforms from dwarf mistletoe, frequently near bogs or clearings. Nests are frequently reused (Franklin 1988) and the same pair often nests in the same area in successive years.
Ecological Systems Associated with this Species
Details on Creation and Suggested Uses and Limitations
How Associations Were Made
We associated the use and habitat quality (high, medium, or low) of each of the 82 ecological systems mapped in Montana for vertebrate animal species that regularly breed, overwinter, or migrate through the state by:
Using personal observations and reviewing literature that summarize the breeding, overwintering, or migratory habitat requirements of each species (Dobkin 1992, Hart et al. 1998, Hutto and Young 1999, Maxell 2000, Foresman 2001, Adams 2003, and Werner et al. 2004);
Evaluating structural characteristics and distribution of each ecological system relative to the species' range and habitat requirements;
Examining the observation records for each species in the state-wide point database associated with each ecological system;
Calculating the percentage of observations associated with each ecological system relative to the percent of Montana covered by each ecological system to get a measure of "observations versus availability of habitat".
Species that breed in Montana were only evaluated for breeding habitat use, species that only overwinter in Montana were only evaluated for overwintering habitat use, and species that only migrate through Montana were only evaluated for migratory habitat use. In general, species were associated as using an ecological system if structural characteristics of used habitat documented in the literature were present in the ecological system or large numbers of point observations were associated with the ecological system. However, species were not associated with an ecological system if there was no support in the literature for use of structural characteristics in an ecological system,
even if
point observations were associated with that system. High, medium, and low habitat quality was assigned based on the degree to which the structural characteristics of an ecological system matched the preferred structural habitat characteristics for each species in the literature. The percentage of observations associated with each ecological system relative to the percent of Montana covered by each ecological system was also used to guide assignments of habitat quality. If you have any questions or comments on species associations with ecological systems, please contact Bryce Maxell at
or (406) 444-3655.
Suggested Uses and Limitations
Species associations with ecological systems should be used to generate potential lists of species that may occupy broader landscapes for the purposes of landscape-level planning. These potential lists of species should not be used in place of documented occurrences of species (this information can be requested at:
) or systematic surveys for species and evaluations of habitat at a local site level by trained biologists. Users of this information should be aware that the land cover data used to generate species associations is based on imagery from the late 1990s and early 2000s and was only intended to be used at broader landscape scales. Land cover mapping accuracy is particularly problematic when the systems occur as small patches or where the land cover types have been altered over the past decade. Thus, particular caution should be used when using the associations in assessments of smaller areas (e.g., evaluations of public land survey sections). Finally, although a species may be associated with a particular ecological system within its known geographic range, portions of that ecological system may occur outside of the species' known geographic range.

Food Habits
No food habit information is available for Great Gray Owls in Montana. However, information from other areas in the species' range indicates small mammals, especially rodents (i.e. voles), dominate prey over most of the range. Pocket gophers also dominate the diet of Great Gray Owls in North America. They usually forage in open areas where scattered trees or forest margins provide suitable sites for visual searching. They also use sound to locate prey under snow cover.
Ecological information for Great Gray Owls in Montana is not available. Information from other areas of the species' range, including Oregon and Canada, indicate that Great Gray Owls loosely congregate, probably in response to abundant prey; groups of up to 15 individuals have been observed in late winter (Hayward and Verner 1994). Some Great Gray Owls may remain on the breeding territory all year. Others move irregularly in search of favorable foraging conditions. The average home range size for breeding adults in Oregon was 4.5 square kilometers and in Wyoming, 2.6 square kilometers. The maximum distance traveled from the nest averages 13.4 kilometers (Hayward and Verner 1994). The maximum distance that juveniles dispersed in their first year ranged from 7.5 to 32 kilometers in Oregon. Adults moved 3 to 43 kilometers during the same period (Johnsgard 1988). Adults and juveniles travel much greater distances in the northern parts of their range, some up to 753 kilometers in Canada (Hayward and Verner 1994). Predation by Great Horned Owls (
Bubo virginianus
) was the greatest known mortality factor in northern Minnesota and southeastern Manitoba (Duncan 1987).
Reproductive Characteristics
Little information exists regarding Great Gray Owl reproduction in Montana. Systematic surveys have yet to be done in the state. However, information from other areas where Great Gray Owls occur indicates nesting begins in March or April on broken-topped snags or old stick nests of other birds. The average egg dates are late March to May in Alberta, late April to early June in Ontario, and peak mid-April to late May in California. The mean date for the first egg is May 5 in southern Idaho and northwestern Wyoming. Egg-laying may be delayed in years with deep snow (Franklin 1988). Clutch size is 2 to 5 (usually 2 to 3 or 3 to 4). Incubation lasts 28 to 29 days and is completed by the female (male brings food). Young begin to leave the nest at 3 to 4 weeks (4 weeks in Idaho/Wyoming), fly well at 5 to 6 weeks (6 weeks in Idaho/Wyoming), and are independent at about 4 to 5 months (Idaho/Wyoming) (Franklin 1988).
Great Gray Owls usually breed for the first time at 3 to 4 years of age. The pair bond is not maintained outside of the breeding season, but the bond may reform if both birds return to the same breeding territory. Some pairs may not breed in years of low prey abundance.
No known active management is ongoing for Great Gray Owls in the state. However, habitat management must take into account a long-term view of forest succession and consider landscape and regional forest patterns. Because of the owl's large home range, management must be coordinated among administrative units to maintain links between interacting biological units (Hayward and Verner 1994).

An excerpt from Tom Purcell's new book, "Comical Sense: A Lone Humorist Takes on a World Gone Nutty!"
A frustrating season for the Barton Community College volleyball team came to an end Sunday in the opening round of the Region VI Championships. Barton's season ended with a 24-26, 25-18, 25-16, 25-15 loss to Colby at the Sports Arena in Hutchinson.
Saturday produced a very good win for the Barton Community College men's basketball team – a win over a Top 20 team. Friday, though, kept the Cougars from a perfect weekend and a 4-0 start to the season.
It was a rather mundane weekend for the Barton Community College women's basketball team. Mundane in a good way as the Cougars rolled to a pair of blowout wins at the Conquistador Classic in Dodge City.
At the Moundridge Invitational Debate Tournament the GBHS debate squad placed second in sweepstakes. In the open division the team of Aaron Miller and Ashtin Heath had a 4-1 win/loss record and placed 3rd. In the novice division the three man team of Urial Renteria, Becca Kay and, Sara Allen placed 5th with a 4-1 win/loss record. Also in the novice division the team of Kylynn Keeler and Hadley Murphy placed 8th with 3/2 win/loss record. Everyone on the team placed. The team plans to compete at KMC next weekend.

Carroll Hosbrook, a farm boy from Ohio, found himself in a small French village on Nov. 11, 1918. Bells in a bombed-out church were still intact, ringing out the good news of the Armistice having been signed-on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Carroll was writing home on this historic day, a series of letters that chronicled his service-from boot camp to battlefield. My Uncle Carroll had a wry sense of humor, an eye for girls, and a strong sense of duty to family and country.
Wanda scanned the letter feverishly. Eventually, she would read it more carefully. No, that wasn't quite right. Eventually, she would memorize the letter. But for now there was only one thing she wanted to know.
Irvin E. Burton, 87, passed away on Sunday morning, Nov. 9, at his home in Great Bend. Born on July 29, 1927, in rural Hoisington, he was the son of Walter and Myrtle (Bradshaw) Burton. On Sept. 24, 1988 he was united in marriage to Betty Jo Byerly in Great Bend. Irvin was a route salesman for Dr. Pepper, Schlitz Beer, and Guy's Potato Chips for many years until his retirement, and worked several part-time jobs after he retired. He enjoyed fishing, gardening, antique John Deere tractors, and he dearly loved his dog, Molly.
HOISINGTON - Hoisington High School debaters Nick Doerschlag and Seth Colson placed third in the novice division at the recent Moundridge debate tournament. They earned a 4-1 record, defeating teams from Dodge City, Junction City, Sterling, and Salina-South. They lost to a Great Bend team.

"magical venue, everything we wanted!"
Our studio apartment lived up to all our expectations. As we were unable to arrive until late in the day, the pack of groceries which was left for us was very welcome in fact we enjoyed the bottle of wine while sitting on the balcony before we even unpacked! We wanted for nothing, the apartment was spotless and extremely well equipped. Jill who welcomed us was friendly and was able to answer any questions we had. We thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet, and for people wishing to get away from the hustle of the town, Both Worlds is the place to be.

"Everything you could want and more"
Home from home,lovely to be able to sit and look on to the beach and out to sea,
The studio was really well presented and had everything we needed for a lovely holiday.The welcome pack was gratefully received as we arrived rather late at night and without it we would have had to wait till morning for a drink and a bite to eat.
The the locaction is on the quiet side of gibraltar but the bus stops straight outside the main entrance and takes you into town.There is even a morrisons supermarket for all the provisions you may need,Plenty of places to eat and drink in casemates square and Ocean village.
We managed a couple of day trips into Spain (walk over the border its a lot quicker)and the tourist information in la Linea is helpful with transport timetables as all buses leave from there,Plenty to see and do in Gib just a shame we only had 1 week.Big thankyou to Frances and Sandra and not forgetting Jill

"Everything we wanted and more."
We found it easy to get to Both Worlds by taxi from Gib airport, it is also possible to use the local bus system which was free at the time of our stay.
We were greeted in the reception area by the friendly receptionist, who rang Carney, the lady who looks after the studio for the owners (a lovely lady). She came up immediately and took us to the studio and showed us where everything was. The appartment was very clean and well equiped with a lovely balcony looking over the sea.
The accommodation is in a perfect position right on the well kept beach which never got crowded. In a quiet location with easy access to town and shops etc by local bus and a 5 min walk to bars and restaurants.
In our opinion it was the perfect holiday and we have already booked for 4 weeks next Aug (can't wait!).

Mountain Buggy Mini Compact Stroller - Black/Chilli Mountain BuggyI have to say this is a great buggy for the price. We especially loved how easy this is to push, was MUCH smother than other models we test drove in store. Moves very easy even with our three year old in it and heavy diaper bag in the bottom. Also liked the ability to customize with a different colored sun hood than the red. Was fairly cheap and easy to change ours to all black and gray the way we wanted. I really wish a bar for the front where kiddo sits was included like other models, but can always buy that too as an add on. I would also love to see mountain buggy offer a snack tray for this, have to buy that from a different company for now as a few other fit, but not perfect. Every parent knows you need a place for sippy cup and goldfish crackers! Still I would strongly recommend the buggy accessories aside.Sep 22,2014
Mountain Buggy Terrain Jogging Stroller - Flint Mountain BuggyThis is the best stroller ever. You will not get stuck in snow. You will not get stuck at the beach or on a trail. This stroller will glide easily and steer easily pretty mush everywhere. I am a full time mom and use my stroller daily. We have a large dog and I often push the stroller with one hand and hold the dog with the other and it is effortless! I can't tell you how many times this winter alone I have seen other people stuck because their strollers couldn't handle some snow and we were out gliding through it easily. It folds easily if you need to hop in a cab and will fit in your trunk if you have a car. The storage basket is roomy and the handlebar adjusts for your height. Buy it, you will love it. :)Sep 6,2014
Mountain Buggy Compact Double Stroller - Flint Mountain BuggyI think this is a great double stroller. The width is great. We live in an old elevator building and it fits easily in our elevator. It handles very well and seems durable. The one complaint is that the tires need pumping occasionally, but that can be fixed with a pump and isn't too bad. Both of my kids are very comfy in this stroller and the canopies provide very good coverage. We tested a lot of doubles before I got this one and you can't beat the this width.Sep 2,2014

Best keyboard/ case combos for the new iPad 3
Summary: Updated Summer 2012 edition: We have gathered the best keyboard/ case combos for the new iPad.
3 of 18Image
This new keyboard from Logitech turns the new iPad into the thinnest and lightest laptop replacement on the planet. It attaches to the iPad using a magnetic hinge like the Apple Smart Cover, and securely attaches to the iPad for typing using the same technology.
See the full review at ZDNet Mobile News
Here is the Ultrathin open and ready for business. The iPad fits in a slot that holds it at a good viewing angle. The magnets holding the iPad in place are so strong the entire assembly can be picked up by grabbing the top of the iPad and lifting off the table.
Viewing the iPad/ keyboard assembly from the side shows the chiclet keys that are great for typing, and the iPad seated in the keyboard slot.

Prototype 2
How Do You Beat The Hydra Tentacle?
Damned thing pwns me every damned time. I try to shoot the thing with the rocket launchers but the stupid lockon system keep firing 90 degrees at times because if someone runs across my aim it locks onto them instead.
Also dodging the rope thing... you can't dodge it... Hell, I hid behind the stairs and it fired right through the damned stairs ffs.
The game is OK but this Hydra is just ruining it for me.
Eh the Hydra is a doddle to kill with the rocket launcher. Just keep diving and jumping around and getting a shot off that you know will hit it whenever you can.
The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.
Maybe I just needed a break... My problem is my twitch gaming is way in the past (I'm 51) but still love gaming.
I just think maybe I should have increased my skill with the rocket launcher before starting this mission.... but I can't now go back and do that.
Well I'm 37 so I'm not exactly a spring chicken either. As for upgrading your rocket launcher skill, that's not really necessary tbh. I hadn't done when I encountered it. I think it did kill me on my first try but then I tried again and just kept moving and diving around and fired rockets at it as fast as possible. That did the trick really.
The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.
You can also throw everything at the Hydra, Cars, Rocks whatever. Just jump around like a maniac :) and keep throwing things/firing rockets. You can lock on the Hydra by holding LT, if you keep holding it the rockets will everytime be fired in the direction of the Hydra (if something is in its way, bad luck, but it will go to the Hydra)
Sorry for my bad english.
So topics like these are already cropping up? That was sooner than I expected.

Thirst - absent
Thirst - absent
Absence of thirst is a lack of the urge to drink fluids, even when the body is low on water or has an excess amount of salt.
Alternative Names
Adipsia; Lack of thirst; Absence of thirst
Not being thirsty at times during the day is normal, if the body does not need fluid replacement. But if you have a sudden change in the need for fluids, you should visit your health care provider right away.
Common Causes
As people age, they are less likely to notice their thirst and may not drink fluids when needed.
Absence of thirst may be due to:
- Birth defects of the brain
- Bronchial tumor that causes syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH)
- Hydrocephalus
- Injury or tumor of part of the brain called the hypothalamus
- Stroke
Home Care
Follow your health care provider's recommendations.
Call your health care provider if
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you notice any abnormal lack of thirst.
What to expect at your health care provider's office
The health care provider will take a medical history and perform a physical examination.
Medical history questions may include:
- When did you first notice this problem?
- Did the absence of thirst develop suddenly or slowly?
- Is the thirst decreased or totally absent?
- Are you able to drink fluids?
- Did the loss of thirst follow a head injury?
- What other symptoms do you have?
- Do you have abdominal pain?
- Do you have headaches?
- Do you have difficulty swallowing?
- Do you suddenly dislike drinking fluids?
- Do you have difficulty breathing?
- Do you have a cough?
- Do you have any changes in appetite?
- Do you urinate less than usual?
- Do you have any changes in skin color?
- What medicines are you taking?
The physical examination may include a detailed nervous system examination if the health care provider suspects a head injury or problem with the hypothalamus. Diagnostic tests will vary depending on the history and physical examination findings.
Based on your evaluation and any tests, your health care provider will recommend treatment if needed.
If you are dehydrated, fluids will likely be given through a vein (IV).

Wind farm giant goes after 'myths'
Ed Cherian of Iberdrola Renewables said the state, the towns involved and scores of private landowners will see large financial benefits from the proposed Wild Meadows Wind Power Project on leased land in the towns of Alexandria, Danbury and Grafton.
Cherian disputed claims from Dr. Benjamin Luce, a professor of physics and the chairman of the Sustainability Studies Program at Lyndon State College in Lyndonville, Vt., at a recent meeting of New Hampshire Wind Watch that cast doubt on wind power's potential renewable energy contributions in the state.
Luce said the Midwest is the only part of the United States suited for wind-power production at levels that can make practical contributions to the country's renewable energy portfolio standards.
"It's true that wind power is never going to produce half of New Hampshire's power, but it is another useful energy that contributes to the diversity of renewable power in New Hampshire and New England," Cherian said.
He said Wild Meadows would produce, on average, enough electricity to power more than 32,000 average New Hampshire homes. The power would be added to the regional power grid, and would not go directly to the Granite State.
Study disputed
Cherian said there are "myths" being spread by opponents of the project, including Wind Watch, a 1,300-member group which opposes the project. One, he said, is that the wind farm would decrease property values.
"The property value argument is an emotional issue," he said. "It's been studied and these projects have been found to have no impact on property values."
Wind Watch members, who stand by Luce's statements that wind power will contribute little if any to New Hampshire's energy needs, say studies and decisions made about wind farms in Groton and Lempster are not applicable to the Wild Meadows project because those two towns do not have a large tourist economy based on natural treasures like Newfound Lake and Cardigan Mountain.
"Those are smaller farms, and they aren't in built-up areas like we have here," said Lori Lerner of Wind Watch. "We're talking about a whole lot of wind towers lining the ridges of Newfound Lake. Of course there will be a loss in property values."
A study done in December by the Whittemore School of Business and Economics into the local economic effects of Iberdrola's 12-turbine, 24-megawatt wind farm in Lempster, found the project had little or no effect on property values.
"Based on the analysis conducted in this student and taking into account other studies - based on arms-length sales property transactions, there is no evidence to suggest that the Lempster Wind Power Project has had any consistent, observable, statistically significant impact on property values in Lempster or the communities surrounding the project," the study concluded.
Property values
Cherian said in granting approval for the company's Groton project in May 2011, the state's Site Evaluation Committee heard testimony from area residents and business owners who said the Groton project would damage land values and the economy.
But in its decision document, the SEC stated: "the project will not affect land use and tourism in a manner or degree that would unduly interfere with the orderly development of the region."
Woody Miller, a realtor at Coldwell Bank and Old Mill Properties in Bristol, said the Groton wind farm has likely already slowed the sale of one of his properties in neighboring Rumney. The property once had a nice view, but "now looks at 15 wind towers," he said.
Miller said his firm has had several potential buyers "who have expressed concern about buying in this area because of the potential wind farms."
"I would argue that wind farms here will have a substantial effect on fair-market property values," he said. "If you eliminate even a few of the pool of potential buyers for a particular property, it hurts property sales and therefore values."
Financial impact
Cherian said Iberdrola wind farms in Groton and Lempster contribute heavily to the budgets of those towns, he said, noting the three towns involved in Wild Meadows would see similar benefits.
In the first year of operation, the project would contribute $286,000 to Alexandria's tax base, $352,000 to Danbury, and $176,000 to Grafton, he said. Those amounts would increase yearly, he said.
All of the towns would also see a substantial one-time tax payment from the company for the change in land usage, he said.
The Newfound Lake Association has come out against the Wild Meadows project, as has Bridgewater's board of selectmen. Meanwhile, Rep. Harold "Skip" Reilly, Sr., R-Grafton County District 8, has proposed a bill that would put a moratorium on new wind-power projects until the state updates its energy plans.

ALERT-D DAY: Feinstein's New Gun-Ban Bill Coming January 22
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.)ŌĆōauthor of the federal ŌĆ£assault weaponŌĆØ and ŌĆ£largeŌĆØ ammunition magazine ban of 1994-2004ŌĆōhas said for weeks that she will soon introduce an even more restrictive bill.┬Ā Leaders in the U.S. Senate have stated that January 22 will be the first day on which new Senate legislation can be proposed, so that is the most likely date for the new, sweeping legislation to be introduced.
On Dec. 17th, Feinstein┬Āsaid,┬ĀŌĆØI have been working with my staff for over a year on this legislationŌĆØ┬Āand ŌĆ£It will be carefully focused.ŌĆØ ┬ĀIndicating the depth of her research on the issue, she┬Āsaid┬Āon Dec. 21st┬Āthat she had personally looked at pictures of guns in 1993, and again in 2012.
According to a Dec. 27th┬Āposting┬Āon Sen. FeinsteinŌĆÖs website and a draft of the bill obtained by NRA-ILA, the new ban would, among other things, adopt new definitions of ŌĆ£assault weaponŌĆØ that would affect a much larger variety of firearms, require current owners of such firearms to register them with the federal government under the National Firearms Act, and require forfeiture of the firearms upon the deaths of their current owners. ┬ĀSome of the changes in FeinsteinŌĆÖs new bill are as follows:┬Ā
- Reduces, from two to one, the number of permitted external features on various firearms.┬Ā┬ĀThe 1994 ban permitted various firearms to be manufactured only if they were assembled with no more than one feature listed in the law. ┬ĀFeinsteinŌĆÖs new bill would prohibit the manufacture of the same firearms with even one of the features.
- Adopts new lists of prohibited external features.┬Ā┬ĀFor example, whereas the 1994 ban applied to a rifle or shotgun the ŌĆ£pistol gripŌĆØ of which ŌĆ£protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon,ŌĆØ the new bill would drastically expand the definition to include any ŌĆ£grip . . . or any other characteristic that can function as a grip.ŌĆØ ┬ĀAlso, the new bill adds ŌĆ£forward gripŌĆØ to the list of prohibiting features for rifles, defining it as ŌĆ£a grip located forward of the trigger that functions as a pistol grip.ŌĆØ ┬ĀRead literally and in conjunction with the reduction from two features to one, the new language would apply to every detachable-magazine semi-automatic rifle. ┬ĀAt a minimum, it would, for example, ban all models of the AR-15, even those developed for compliance with CaliforniaŌĆÖs highly restrictive ban.
- ┬ĀCarries hyperbole further than the 1994 ban.┬ĀFeinsteinŌĆÖs 1994 ban listed ŌĆ£grenade launcherŌĆØ as one of the prohibiting features for rifles. ┬ĀHer 2013 bill goes even further into the ridiculous, by also listing ŌĆ£rocket launcher.ŌĆØ Such devices are restricted under the National Firearms Act and, obviously, are not standard components of the firearms Feinstein wants to ban. ┬ĀPerhaps a subsequent Feinstein bill will add ŌĆ£nuclear bomb,ŌĆØ ŌĆ£particle beam weapon,ŌĆØ or something else equally far-fetched to the features list.
- Expands the definition of ŌĆ£assault weaponŌĆØ by including:ŌĆōThree very popular rifles: The M1 Carbine (introduced in 1941 and for many years sold by the federal government to individuals involved in marksmanship competition), a model of the Ruger Mini-14, and most or all models of the SKS.ŌĆōAny ŌĆ£semiautomatic, centerfire, or rimfire rifle that has a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds,ŌĆØ except for tubular-magazine .22s.ŌĆōAny ŌĆ£semiautomatic, centerfire, or rimfire rifle that has an overall length of less than 30 inches,ŌĆØ any ŌĆ£semiautomatic handgun with a fixed magazine that has the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds,ŌĆØ and any semi-automatic handgun that has a threaded barrel.
- Requires owners of existing ŌĆ£assault weaponsŌĆØ to register them with the federal government under the National Firearms Act (NFA).┬Ā┬ĀThe NFA imposes a $200 transfer tax per firearm, and requires an owner to submit photographs and fingerprints to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE), to inform the BATFE of the address where the firearm will be kept, and to obtain the BATFEŌĆÖs permission to transport the firearm across state lines.
- Prohibits the transfer of ŌĆ£assault weapons.ŌĆØ┬Ā Owners of other firearms, including those covered by the NFA, are permitted to sell them or pass them to heirs. ┬ĀHowever, under FeinsteinŌĆÖs new bill, ŌĆ£assault weaponsŌĆØ would remain with their current owners until their deaths, at which point they would be forfeited to the government.
- Prohibits the domestic manufacture and the importation of magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition.┬Ā The 1994 ban allowed the importation of such magazines that were manufactured before the ban took effect. ┬ĀWhereas the 1994 ban protected gun owners from errant prosecution by making the government prove when a magazine was made, the new ban includes no such protection. ┬ĀThe new ban also requires firearm dealers to certify the date of manufacture of any >10-round magazine sold, a virtually impossible task, given that virtually no magazines are stamped with their date of manufacture.
- Targets handguns in defiance of the Supreme Court.┬ĀThe Court ruled in┬ĀDistrict of Columbia v. Heller┬Āthat the Second Amendment protects the right to have handguns for self-defense, in large part on the basis of the fact handguns are the type of firearm ŌĆ£overwhelmingly chosen by American society┬Āfor that lawful purpose.ŌĆØ ┬ĀSemi-automatic pistols, which are the most popular handguns today, are designed to use detachable magazines, and the magazines ŌĆ£overwhelmingly chosenŌĆØ by Americans for self-defense are those that hold more than 10 rounds. ┬ĀAdditionally, FeinsteinŌĆÖs list of nearly 1,000 firearms exempted by name (see next paragraph) contains not a single handgun.┬ĀSen. Feinstein advocated banning handguns before being elected to the Senate, though she carried a handgun for her own personal protection.
- Contains a larger piece of window dressing than the 1994 ban.┬ĀWhereas the 1994 ban included a list of approximately 600 rifles and shotguns exempted from the ban by name, the new billŌĆÖs list is increased to nearly 1,000 rifles and shotguns. ┬ĀBut most of the guns on the list either wouldnŌĆÖt be banned in the first place, or would already be exempted by other provisions. On the other hand, the list inevitably misses every model of rifle and shotgun that wasnŌĆÖt being manufactured or imported in the years covered by the reference books Sen. FeinsteinŌĆÖs staff consulted. That means an unknown number of absolutely conventional semi-auto rifles and shotguns, many of them out of production for decades, would be banned under the draft bill.

I've been think about getting a new tattoo for months and just needed that certain push. One random Sunday, after a few mimosas, my friend and I wandered into a tattoo shop and I came out with a Jack London quote that says "I would rather be ashes than dust." I love it and I love the spontaneity.
These four triangles represent each member of my family and, at the same time, the elements fire, air, water and earth. All together, they symbolize a balanced life.
