Skip to comments.FYI: Is It Legal To 3-D Print A Handgun?
Posted on 10/05/2012 11:39:04 AM PDT by marktwain
Earlier this week, the Wiki Weapons Project--an initiative to create a 3-D printed handgun and distribute the digital design file for free online--ran into a stumbling block when 3-D printer provider Stratasys pulled the lease on a printer it had provided the group. Stratasys cited a clause in the lease agreement that allows the company to rescind a lease for printers believed to be used for unlawful purposes. That raises the obvious (and thorny) question: Is the Wiki Weapons Project doing anything illegal?
We at PopSci are experts on many things, but federal firearms regulations and intellectual property law are not among them. As we understand it, one is required to obtain a federal firearms manufacturing license to produce firearms in this country--if those firearms are for sale. The Wiki Weapons Project has demonstrated no intention to sell any potential firearm it creates, but rather to create a freely distributed digital file that would allow anyone with the right hardware and know-how to print their own firearm.
And the law doesn't have much to say about that, not explicitly, anyway. Regardless of your personal feelings toward the Wiki Weapons Project, it is at the very least forcing us to take a look at what happens in a world where information (which wants to be free) can be easily converted into physical objects--many of which (like firearms) are not supposed to flow freely.
This raises lots of interesting questions, says Michael Weinberg, a staff attorney at Public Knowledge, a legal consortium focused on digital technology, the internet and intellectual property. There are going to be a lot of stories in the future about people doing interesting things and uninteresting things with 3-D printing. The question people need to ask themselves is: was this possible before 3-D printing?
(Excerpt) Read more at popsci.com ...
3D printing may be ok for grips and other parts not subject to high pressures and or forces. No way would I fire a gun whose barrel, bolt, or receiver is made of printed plastic, or built up micro-welds.
It is fully legal to make a firearm for one's own personal use, ie, not intended for resale. You do not need to have a Type 07 FFL, as long as it is not intended for resale. If it is for resale, then you need a Type 07, and you'll need to pay the 10 or 11% excise tax.
It doesn't even need to have a serial #.
You just need to file a Form 1 with the ATF.
it is simple, what is the law regarding ANY home made weapon?
Yeah, but tools like 3D printerswhich we can expect to get even better and more affordable over timewill place weapons manufacture readily into the hands of laymen.
Anything that helps nullify the enforceability of arms restrictions and dissolves the State's monopoly on force, I can only regard as a good thing.
In general, manufacture, if it is in compliance with the laws that govern barrel length, overall length, rate of fire (auto/semiauto), etc.
So long as the gear is not made for sale, should be good to go.
should be interesting to see how this works out!
When 3D printed (aka "additive machining") comes to firearms parts that have to withstand pressure, they'll work. There is already 3D machining of metal parts - the printing "ink" is powdered metal and binder, and the result is baked in an oven to sinter or fuse the metal together.
There's already plenty of firearms parts that use something very much like this in MIM parts.
That depends on whether you are also printing page 2 that has the silencer on it... :)
Wiki Weapons Project should just raise the funds to purchase the printer, instead of leasing it. Oppression doesn't just come from the State, it also comes from statist-oriented companies, and from companies that get their panties in a wad at the thought of looking bad because of what customers do with their products.
I fully support this project; it is in its own was a predecessor to the Weapons Shops of Isher. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Weapon_Shops_of_Isher
"The right to own weapons is the right to be free."
If those micro-welds are small enough then it is going to be indistinguishable from cast metals.... but what'd be more interesting is if these printers get to multi-material/near-nanotech levels: at that point we can start making firearms with multi-layered chambers (stronger), barrel-integrated silencers (like the De Lisle carbine), and perhaps glassy-carbon chamber/rifling coating (which should make cleaning uber-simple, the carbon residue from firing won't stick to such parts, IIUC).
Federally legal, so long as made for personal use and NOT for resale.
Your state & local laws may vary.
Sounds like Stratasys made a bad move.
While I don't agree, I understand their concerns. This will soon become a hot sociopolitical issue they want no association with.
"it is in its own was a predecessor ...."
"it is in its own WAY a predecessor ..."
You can build your own firearm without a license so long as it's for personal use and isn't an NFA weapon*. You can't sell it. NFA weapons are more tricky but some are still doable with paperwork. I don't think you can build a full auto anymore.
Gets into an interesting area. With technology, computer operated machine tools are more available.
(*I am not a lawyer, just some guy on the internet. Before you go build yourself a gun, a ma deuce, howitzer, or tank go see one who specializes in firearms and make sure what you're doing is legal where you live.)
Nope. They are good to go...
Fused/sintered nickle powder assemblies are often strengthened by infusing them with brass/bronze during the post-print anneal process.
The parts won't be as strong as a forged steel part, but with appropriate design considerations they can be strong enough!
After all, CANON used to be made from cast bronze!
Wow! You've actually read that?
You must be OOOOOOLD!
Hmmm.. just out of curiosity: how much pressure is involved in the 40mm grenade launcher? And in the grenade parts?
I'm neither a metallurgist or materials engineer so, I can't disprove that statement. If you are correct, that's pretty cool but I'll wait to see someone run 50K rounds through a printed gun under a variety of conditions before I'd feel confident firing one.
but what'd be more interesting is if these printers get to multi-material/near-nanotech levels: at that point we can start making firearms with multi-layered chambers (stronger), barrel-integrated silencers (like the De Lisle carbine), and perhaps glassy-carbon
Many possibilities. Will be interesting to see which direction the technology goes.
Dunno but my guess is the tube is designed to withstand shotgun type pressures.
And in the grenade parts?
Obviously, failure under pressure is the objective but what that pressure is I also dunno.
I'll take a 3d template for a .357 HK P9! (and for a .357 cartridge)
Here's a few references to it:
Cold Welding / Cold Pressure Welding
Works just fine. Not quite up to printing a barrel yet... But getting there.
Depends on if you're talking about the M-203A or the Mk-19.
I would say it's a start. I'm sure metallurgists and material scientists are working on improvements.
After all, CANON used to be made from cast bronze!
And shotgun barrels used to be made of twist steel. I wouldn't advise running modern powder through either.
As always, I believe the technology will go toward wherever people's interests and willingness to pay lie, barring any physical impossibilities. I don't see any impossibilities down the path to what's been stated thus far on this thread. It seems analogous to a desire for 12 megapixel camera resolution (a resolution that would allow photographers confidently to abandon most legacy film designs) that started out twenty years ago as 640x480. We're now at something analogous to the 640x480 camera resolution in the 3d printer realm, IMHO.
Stopped reading right there.
Does anyone know what kind of material ( gook ) is used in these 3D machines?
Is it possible to use a transparent acrylic ( or some other transparent fluid/plastic ) for making aquariums for example?
Very interesting. Thanks!
bump for later
Some of the people here are missing the point.
It is not necessary to print the ENTIRE gun on a 3-D plastic printer. You only have to print the controlled part — the receiver. In some cases (such as the AR-15) you can buy the upper without government oversight. In addition, in some cases (such as the AR-15), the lower has to withstand very little force. The bolt (steel) locks directly into the barrel (also steel) while firing. The lower only has to hold everything together during recoil. Some force, but not nearly as much as the barrel and bolt see.
I would imagine that a LOT of other designs could be created that would have very little stress on the controlled part (the lower). This looks VERY interesting.
My CCW instruction LLC is Isher Enterprises.
True, from a current legal standpoint. Print an AR15 lower receiver, which does little more than hold the remaining major components together, and most of it legally amounts to mail-ordering accessories.
Nonetheless, being able to insert bulk raw material & push one button and have the entire functional product appear is a major paradigm shift.
Ya know, DARPA does have a real interest in this. Imagine a supply chain that instead of moving finished goods to the front lines could just move raw materials and manufacture whatever they needed within minutes and yards of use.
What, you don't want the barrel and brass blowing up in your face like a trick cigar? Killjoy.
I don't see why it would be illegal, unless you aren't legally allowed to possess a gun.
"Nonetheless, being able to insert bulk raw material & push one button and have the entire functional product appear is a major paradigm shift."
It's really not that big of a shift from what is currently possible with a CNC Mill. You'd have to change tool heads manually and flip the billet over manually with a "hobbyist" level mill, but it's essentially just "push a button" and the mill does all the work.
Remember how slow printers were in the old days? You had to wait forever to get a page out of them. Now, plenty of home laserjets can crank out 30 pages a minute, no problem.
I suppose we'll see similar speed improvements with these 3D printers, not to mention many, many other improvements in them, including in the kinds and strengths of materials and substances they can "print" out.
Then the question won't be whether or not it is legal to print a handgun, but whether or not it is legal own a little flake of silicon that has particular strings of 1s and 0s on it. Because who would want his closet all cluttered up with curios and relics when, with the push of a button, he could start cranking out thirty M249 SAWs every minute, and thus start rocking and rolling with the forces of tyranny on a moment's notice? That's what we're really talking about. And I say "yes," because they won't be able to stop those who are determined to retain and restore their freedoms, no matter what silly laws they pass in the interim.
Thing is, I seem to remember some granades being mostly made of plastic, filled with shrapnel and explosive, so that a hi-pressure body burst is not necessary. Just a speedy drive load.
These things might be very good for printing.
If so, I have a neat design here which will give the fighter the ability to project the thing 100 yards plus, with no actual barrel and material cost of 50 cents or so, fitting in your shirt pocket :).
What material would you like?
Clear, opaque, ridged, rubbery, biocompatible, high temperature.
Aluminum filled nylon, plastics, sterling silver, Stainless steel, Gypsum (Plaster of Paris), Ceramics (Food grade, no less!), glass.
Choose from a large range of metal alloys, including aluminum and titanium.
You can even make stuff out of corn starch or sugar...
Also known as a "sling"? (Izzatyou David?)
"Wow! Youve actually read that?
You must be OOOOOOLD!"
I know you're being sarcastic, but FU anyway. :>)
FYI, I didn't buy it fresh off the press, but got it from a used book store (oh, I know, going to a bookstore = OLDDDD!). Chronologically 51, emotionally about 17 (just ask my wife).
Take care.
I like it. Most won't understand the reference, but I'm sure it is always rewarding when someone does.
I know youre being sarcastic, but FU anyway. :>)
First offer of sex in way too long. *sigh* And we're both straight guys, story of my life...
*grumble* *grumble* *grumble* *grumble* *grumble* *grumble* *grumble* *grumble* *grumble*
Yep. You basically just have to tailor the pin assemply right ;).
You probably have seen how precise you can make a potato shot with a stick, string and a nail.
FYI, saw this on FR a week+ ago - 17gigapixel camera shot. Use the mouse and zoom in function - pretty amazing.
Heh. There are two hikers on Half Dome. One with a white shirt, one with a yellow shirt.
Alan E. Van Vogt was a Canadian born writer. The book was written shortly after the first Canadian attempt to force long gun owners into a firearms registry. The Canadians revolted (peaceably, as Canadians do) and the first long gun registry attempt was destroyed.
The Canadians are now working on finishing off the second attempt. Yes, I got a lot of questions about the name, and kept a copy of the book available to answer them. A few people understood the literary reference.
Registry didnt work before, doesnt work now(Canada)

Penn Doctors' Enduring Partnership Leads to Sight for the Blind
The collaboration that paved the way for this week's announcement of a breakthrough gene therapy treatment for blindness began more than 20 years ago in a medical school lab. As a young Jean Bennett and Al Maguire – now both faculty members in the department of Ophthalmology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine -- carefully tunneled through a human brain together during their first-year anatomy class, chemistry sparked between the pair.
Jean Bennett and Al Maguire

He made her laugh, with a brainy, dry wit that left others wondering when he was telling a joke and when he was being serious. Two years later, the pair married, and they capped off their Harvard Medical School careers with a special project – the birth of their first child.
During those early years together, the two doctors dreamed big about their plans for the future. Maguire focused on building a career in ophthalmology, specializing in retinal degeneration. And Bennett, who also earned a doctorate in cell and developmental biology at the University of California at Berkeley, turned toward her background in basic science. Intrigued by animal models of these eye diseases, and early gene therapy work she'd seen in a mentor's lab at the National Institutes of Health, she and Maguire began to ask "what if?", thinking of ways to combine their respective passions. It was still a pie-in-the-sky fantasy -- this notion of somehow delivering corrected genes to make the blind see -- but soon, the roots of the science began to spread.
"In the next couple years, it became clear that it even though it was still fantasy, it was becoming more and more realistic," Bennett says.
By 1992, the couple landed at Penn, where Maguire combined his clinical work with the genetic research they built during a year Bennett spent working in a makeshift lab filled with improvised tools at the Michigan hospital where Maguire completed a fellowship. In 2001, they hit a huge milestone in their pursuit, by leading a team that developed a gene therapy protocol to restore sight in a dog afflicted with a severe retinal degeneration that, in humans, renders infants permanently blind.
Now, the latest breakthrough Bennett, Maguire and their colleagues have demonstrated shows that this gene therapy can be used to safely restore vision in human subjects. They detail their success in three young adults this week in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Despite the research's huge imprint on their professional lives, the couple says they try to limit shop talk at home – the dinner table, for one, is sacred space reserved for other topics – and they also share a love of outdoor pursuits and the arts. Bennett plays the piano, and Maguire is an oil painter, and they count among their family members an adopted seeing eye dog and the tiny birds that hatch in their aviary. The couple has three children, ages 22, 21 and 18.
In all things, however, their shared passion for helping the visually impaired propels them forward. The ups and downs of bench science don't deter Bennett, and Maguire continually poses new ideas of how to measure progress in their work. When it's slow-going, there's the wonder of seeing their patients cope with incredible adversity – to photograph tiny items in a museum, blow the images up and hold them close to their face to see, for instance, or behold the spectacular colors of floral blooms at the Philadelphia Flower show despite failing conventional tests for color vision – that keeps them focused on the dream that ignited so many years ago.

- "He has just returned from a border dispute on Ansion."
- ―Mace Windu, speaking about Obi-Wan Kenobi
The Mission to Ansion occurred in 22 BBY.
While the Separatist Crisis was growing, the Commerce Guild and the CIS were both trying to add planets to their cause. During this period, Ansion became a target. This was due to the fact that Ansion was a very important piece of a complicated series of treaties and alliances, such as the Keitumite Mutual Military Treaty and the Malarian Alliance, that joined other planets of greater importance, therefore making Ansion leave the Galactic Republic would cause a chain reaction.
The plan was headed by Shu Mai president of the Commerce Guild along with the Ansionian Senator Mousul, while the Hutt Soergg Vosadii Bezhin was their hired contact on the planet. They planned to use the border dispute that existed for years between the Unity Council and the nomadic Alwari to convince them to leave the Galactic Republic.
The missionEdit
Arrival on AnsionEdit
Two teams of Jedi were sent by the Jedi Order to convince Ansion to stay with the Republic. Jedi Master Luminara Unduli, Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, along with their Padawans Barriss Offee and Anakin Skywalker were sent on this mission. However, they had problems since the very first day, when Soergg the Hutt instructed his majordomo Ogomoor, an Ansionian male, to do anything necessary to stop the Jedi's mission. Two days before Obi-Wan and Anakin were scheduled to arrive on Ansion, Luminara and Barriss were attacked by mercenaries hired by Ogomoor. Although they quickly defeated the first wave, the second began to push them back. However, it was at this point that Obi-Wan and Anakin arrived, having made good time en route to Ansion. They quickly defeated the remaining mercenaries, before moving on to meet with the Unity Council. After a brief meeting with the council, where the Jedi agreed to convince the Alwari to share half or more of their land, they began their search for the Alwari. However, before they could leave Cuipernam, Barriss Offee was kidnapped by Kyakhta and Bulgan, two of Soergg's enforcers. They let her go though, after she healed them and deactivated the explosive devices Soergg had implanted in them to ensure their compliance. After returning Barriss to the Jedi, both Alwari agreed to guide the Jedi in their search for the Borokii overclan.
Search for the BorokiiEdit
After acquiring six Suubatar's, the Jedi, along with their Alwari guides, left Cuipernam and began their search. Before long, they encountered a Gairk while crossing a river. They made it past it without much trouble though. Shortly after this, they encountered the Yiwa clan. Mazong told them that before they would help them, they had to prove that they had soul. To do this, the Jedi were asked to perform at a feast. At the feast, they all performed one at a time. Barriss went first, choosing a display of acrobatics with a lightsaber. Second was Anakin, who chose to sing a song his mother sang to him as a child. Obi-Wan was third and he told a great tale. Lastly was Luminara, who did a series of acrobatics involving sand. The Yiwa were so impressed with the performances, they agreed to give them directions that would enable them to find the Borokii faster. Shortly after leaving the Yiwa, the Jedi encountered a swarm of native Kyren. These were small creatures that traveled in packs of up to one hundred and fifty million. The Jedi took cover within some ruins until the swarm passed. Shortly after this, they also encountered several Chawix, creatures that used the wind to travel.
A New CompanionEdit
Not long after these events, while they were resting, Barriss noticed a creature taking supplies from them. She followed the Gwurran into the tunnels where she encountered it's tribe. However, as soon as she encountered them, they began throwing rocks at her, though they stopped after she deflected them for a short time. After learning that Tooqui only took the supplies in order to feed his tribe, she promised the tribe a party of sorts in which the Jedi taught the Gwurran a little about The galaxy. After this party, Tooqui said he would like to join them, and after a brief discussion it was decided he would join them in their mission.
Encounter with the QulunEdit
Shortly after Tooqui joined them, the group noticed a group moving on the horizon and were able to identify them as Qulun. Shortly after, the Qulun sent riders out to greet them. After hearing about how they were seeking the Borokii, the Chief Trader of the Qulun, Baiuntu, invited the group to dine with them. While showing them around the camp however, Baiuntu had them drugged and locked up due to the fact a reward was promised to those that stopped them from returning to Cuipernam.
Ansion remained with the Galactic Republic. Also, the Separatists plan of issuing demands to the Republic was delayed (they had planned to issue demands to the Republic the moment Ansion declared secession), though Count Dooku decided Ansion was only a minor setback.
Almost as soon as they had returned to Coruscant after the mission, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were re-assigned to protect Senator Amidala of Naboo.

I started a novel back at the beginning of November. I wrote well beyond the required fifty thousand words required for Nanowrimo and the annual challenge, and sometime in January, I finished. The book came in between 80,000 and 90,000 words. I immediately set it aside. I don't know how many know or remember, but things in my personal life took a sock to the teeth at the end of November, and I was in need of time to re-boot my brain and get the creative engines firing on all cylinders again.
Still, I have this novel. I had a good pack of readers signed in who read it in installments as I wrote it, and I got some amazing feedback. Overall, the response was very positive. I also got a suggestion from one of the readers – a guy who took time out of his own busy life to help me put together a "bible" for this series of novels. He suggested that I should read some of the novels by Jim Butcher about the character Harry Dresden.
I was leery of this advice for the simple reason that I did not want someone's style (other than my own) to leak into my work. Still, I wasn't ready to do the revision yet, and I had / have a lot of nagging doubts and problems with my manuscript as it stands. I went on over to Audible.com and downloaded the first Harry Dresden novel. I listened to it on my recent trip to Baltimore, and I have to say – I'm a fan. It's quick moving, it immediately provides you with a nice comfortable stable of regular characters and settings. I don't believe the books are remarkable in the way that you'd remember them for years to come – but that they ARE addictive in the way Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and other shows of that type can be. I am currently reading the second in the series and will no doubt slog my way through every one of them.
Before I give the impression this is a book review, let me shift gears. I did learn some things from the Harry Dresden novels that will affect how I revise "Heart of a Dragon," which is an odd duck. It's the second Donovan DeChance novel, but if and when I get a mass market deal on the series, it will probably be the first released. When I wrote and sold Vintage Soul, I did so in a bit more cavalier a manner than I should have. I have learned some things, and I intend to make use of the knowledge.
For one thing, revising this novel very carefully and noting characters and settings that will recur. I'm also trying to provide a bit more explanation of the magic involved to lend some weight and "gravity" to the prose. Originally I intended to write these as if I were writing one of the World of Darkness novels I penned early in my career, only without the restrictions of writing in someone else's world. What I neglected to do was set proper restrictions for my own.
So…this revision is a careful one. I've revised Chapter One three times and have had four passes at the ending of Chapter Two. The book will be stronger for it…but it's going to take some time. I believe the outcome will be worth it.
Meanwhile – any blogs / websites / book reviewers out there willing to interview, review, or take a guest blog spot to promote Vintage Soul…contact me. I'm ready and willing. The book has gotten very little press, and it's been out since December.
Now, back to my revision…

A quiz on the popular social-networking site Facebook asking "What Religion Are You?" contains results for Jews that could be labeled offensive and anti-Semitic.
Respondents can fall into one of seven "faith" categories, including Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Atheist, Buddhist or Wiccan. The quiz contains seven multiple-choice questions, many of which have the option of anti-Semitic responses.
For example, one question asks, "You hear a nickel rolling across the floor. What do you do?" with one possible response being "I would laugh at the Jew who is chasing it."
If, after answering all seven questions, the person taking the quiz is determined to be Jewish, the screen reads: "You are cheap, smart, rich, and most people hate you. You are great at business and know how to make money. Everyone blames you for everything, and you blame them. You are probably very Conservative."
Quizzes and other such items are often created not by Facebook, but by a third party responsible for its content.
Content developers can use Facebook for free to host their application, though these may often be supported by advertising found directly alongside the material, charging for the service or leading the user to another site supported by ad revenue.
The Facebook "faith" quiz can be taken free of charge.
According to an e-mail from Facebook's communications officer, Barry Schnitt, the developers of these applications are required to conform to content standards that Facebook enforces through certain policies on those applications.
Schnitt's e-mail said that various parts of the quiz application violate Facebook policies, "and we have asked the developer to change the 'app' to come into compliance. If they do not comply, further action may be taken against the 'app,' including removing it from Facebook."
Barry Morrison, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League, said that while neither the ADL's local nor national office had thus far received complaints about the quiz, his group usually directs people to take their complaints first to the service provider before the ADL becomes involved.
However, he said that he was confident that the popular Web site would respond responsibly and appropriately.
While the offending questionnaire was created by a Facebook user, the app itself was created by HotBerry Entertainment, Inc. Companies such as HotBerry create the vehicle for any user to then plug in their own content, but users are responsible for creating content that adheres to Facebook's standards.

We creating awesome mobile web apps!
Being mobile is not just about having an iPhone or Android app. The shift that is all around us is not about the mobile devices themselves, it is about mobile as a verb: the action of being mobile and of having the freedom to do whatever you want, whenever and wherever you want. Mobile means giving people the power to do what they want to do "now"!
Businesses are communicating with people in a decentralized manner, not needing to get an approval from any central authority to add a page or make a link. URLs are the key to universality, turning the Web's content into something of greater value: an interconnected information space.
We all love apps and one of the main reasons is their slick look & feel. But as a business, creating, distributing and monetizing a mobile application can be frustrating: big fragmentation across mobile devices & operating systems, approval process into various app stores, poor discoverability due to the closed environment and finally: shared revenue constraints.
Our Mission
We made it our mission to innovate on the Web by creating awesome Mobile Web Applications, enabling businesses and users all the same to benefit from the openness of the Web while enjoying a native-app like look & feel on their favorite mobile & tablet devices. Our vision is to create cross-platform mobile web applications (HTML5) that can be distributed and monetized directly in the browser, turning the Web into a viable alternative to the closed environment of native apps.

DALLAS — A recent study has found that more fatal heart attacks and strokes occur during winter than at other times of the year. It doesn't seem to matter whether winter is occurring in the warmer climes of southern California or the frostier ones of Boston.
After sifting through about 1.7 million death certificates filed between 2005 and 2008, cardiologists Bryan Schwartz of the University of New Mexico and Robert A. Kloner of the Heart Institute at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles found a 26 to 36 percent greater death rate for heart attacks in winter than summer "despite different locations and climates," Kloner said. The worst months are December, January, February and the beginning of March.
An abstract of the study was published in the American Heart Association journal Circulation.
The reason for a spike in cardiac deaths during winter months isn't clear.

The present Higher Secondary School had its origin in the campus in 1944. When the High School operated by the Seventh-Day Adventist Church at Lasalgaon, Nasik District, Maharashtra State was transferred to this campus.

In 1956, the school was affiliated to the council for Indian School Certificate Examination, New Delhi and ISC Examination conducted at the end of 11 years of schooling. With the introduction of the plus two educational patterns in the country, the Council for Indian School Certificate Examination also recognized its programme. Therefore, the school now offers Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) at the completion of ten years and Indian School Certificate at the end of twelve years of study.

ICYMI: Democrats losing the voter fraud argument
At least in the eyes of the American people if this Rasmussen poll is accurate:
Despite his insistence that voter fraud is not a serious problem, Attorney General Eric Holder was embarrassed last week when a video surfaced of someone illegally obtaining a ballot to vote under Holder's name in his home precinct in Washington, D.C. Most voters consider voter fraud a problem in America today and continue to overwhelmingly support laws requiring people to show photo identification before being allowed to vote.
Why do they support the requirement so overwhelmingly?
Simple common sense. The arguments we've been putting forward for years – a photo ID is absolutely necessary to do many of today's daily chores, so producing one to vote is no big deal. And, in fact, it helps maintain the integrity of a system that badly needs such a shot in the arm.
Or said another way, most Americans don't buy the argument that voter fraud isn't a problem. Additionally most Americans certainly don't see one of the solutions – voter ID—to be a problem either.
We're not talking about a slim majority here:
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 64% of Likely U.S. Voters rate voter fraud at least a somewhat serious problem in the United States today, and just 24% disagree. This includes 35% who consider it a Very Serious problem and seven percent (7%) who view it as Not At All Serious. Twelve percent (12%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Seventy percent (70%) of Likely U.S. Voters believe voters should be required to show photo identification such as a driver's license before being allowed to cast their ballot. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 22% oppose this kind of requirement. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
So here's a loser for the left. It is something that actually hurts the left because most people don't accept the argument that obtaining acceptable ID is either discriminatory or difficult. They also know, from personal experience, how often they are asked to produce such ID while navigating everyday life.
Consequently, when the left tries those arguments, it falls on deaf ears. They are instead seen as a group with something to hide, a group with an ulterior motive for wanting the requirement struck down. And that motive isn't seen as a positive one either.
So? So let the left continue to push the issue and continue to alienate those who see the requirement as a common sense safeguard against fraud. It certainly isn't going to help Democrats convince voters they're for voter integrity, that's for sure.

"…most Americans don't buy the argument that voter fraud isn't a problem."
They also know better than to believe the LIE that this is about some racist plot to disenfranchise people….'cause they are not STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooopid.
As my friend with the charming foreign-sounding name Pogue Mahone has said many times on this issue, the problem is really absentee ballots. So stop talking about this, and for goodness sake stop bringing extremist partisan rhetoric into what is supposed to be a neutral, moderate, pragmatic process of electing responsible people to office.
How can you dense righties be so insensitive to the grandmotherly lady who just can't get down to have her picture taken and get an ID at the DMV? And don't start with how if she can't do that she can't get down to the voting location either. Just don't start. We need her participation. She has broad perspective in how wonderful welfare state policies have been helping us since Roosevelt. She understand how important it is for everyone to have health care, and so we need to elect people who will give us a Supreme Court that would never, ever overturn something so noble and just as Obamacare. Because healthcare is a moral right. Unlike all those rights you thick righties keep talking about, which are not really rights because we're carbon based life forms who don't have natural rights. See the difference? Look harder. Watch and learn.
Anyway, we need to do everything possible to increase voter participation, so that everyone can sit down and debate what to do and come to a reasonable moderate conclusion that we should keep on growing government, and that we should raise taxes so we can have the money for way more government, er, I mean to reduce the gap between rich and poor. Any other option has been tried and failed. Just look at how the free market has failed in the last twenty years. If you think otherwise, you are making a meager argument that shows economic ignorance. And let me tell you, I know all about economic ignorance.
If you believe in the free market, you're out of touch with reality. I decree it. In particular, income inequality is just awful, and it comes from the free market. Yes, I'd rather see everyone have exactly the same size house and the same kind of car, just like my in-laws experienced in Russia. Now, there's some income equality for you. I can't believe you dense righties don't recognize how wonderful that would be if we did the same thing here and put wise leftists in charge of everything.
And deregulation has just been horrible, and bubbles are caused by low taxes. And don't even start asking for links for all that – I have already linked to my own rich, creamy analysis on my blog, and it's not either true that my analysis is shot full of contradictions and omissions. Hey, I'll have you know that I got a B in "Statistics for Social Science Majors", and I know how to use the charting wizard in Excel, so there.
And this isn't either an attempt to steer a thread into a completely unrelated area where I have a complete set of talking points from an article in the New York Times I read yesterday. Nor am I just phoning in my analysis and comments because I'm depressed about the reelection chances for Obama of the christlike visage. Nope, I've been saying for years that he's almost certain to be re-elected, and if he isn't, don't worry. It will only take me about two months after the election to convince myself that I changed my mind in a discussion with the neighbor's cat, and really predicted whatever happened all along.
And even, then, it will really only be a month, because I'll probably have to spend the first month after the election cleaning the magenta caterpillars with Sarah Palin's face and ample bosom out of the basement.
@Ott Scerb Excellent. Classic.
Why do they support the requirement so overwhelmingly?
>>> Because we're all racists who want to suppress the minority vote? Because we're arrogant and don't know the overwhelming entry barriers that prevent minorities from obtaining even a free ID? Because we're all Jim Crow throwbacks who want to treat having an ID as akin to a poll tax or literacy test?
Isn't it time for someone to show up and remind us we're racists for discussing this in a positive way? That this voter id thing is one of those 'dog whistles' that appeal to our denied inner racist. You know, the monster's from the ID that want us to act and talk like Louis Fruitcakekhan…ooops, I mean, that old Kleagle and exalted cyclops deceased Senator Robert Byrd, Democrat, uh….wait…….

You can but why? By the time you get the power supply, reflector and bulb (new) you will be about the price of an entire unit. Now if you found a used unit and take the guts then that is a different story but you have to make sure your reflector is focused for the distance your are looking for. again I ask why. By the time you R&D the build it isnt worth the time and aggrevation unless you have something to cure that is out of the ordinary. JMHO

The Sorry State of Download Music Services
In this New York Times article, David Pogue summarizes why consumers are reluctant to sign up for download music services: confusing pricing, limited selection, and DRM.
Amazingly, he didn't even mention emusic.com -- the only service that provides unlimited downloads of unprotected files for a fixed monthly fee.

If you haven't heard by now and I am sure many of you have, Katie Couric has reportedly stated she would love for GH to be the lead-in for her new show this fall. But that could be because she doesn't want to face a backlash from daytime fans if GH is cancelled. It's well-known that this backlash is the reason "The Chew" and "The Revolution" are fairing so poorly in the ratings. But will ABC's Paul Lee listen? It's possible. Lee has publicly stated no decision has been made yet regarding GH's future, but with Couric's support of GH, things look more promising that GH may be given a reprieve. Here's hoping!!
Check out this article and quotes from various people about the show and it's changes.
Now that Patrick has decide to do surgery on Jason look for changes in Mr. Morgan you didn't see coming. This is where the Q's will become prominent in a big way. Think Susan Moore murder. There may be some loopholes that will allow the writers to make some interesting changes and take advantage of this and tie into the current storyline. This may also include Scotty Baldwin if Shriner returns and Heather who may also be involved in this story to some extend as she also has story with Stephen and I am also hearing with Alexis........Robert will be around for 6 episodes but he leaves with much more story left to tell. Robert is more "in the know" than you, and a few characters, might think. Keep that in mind........RC will finish out current stories while building new ones. Exits are coming, from newer people, and established players and all this remains a stalemate until GH's future is established.....For those of you who are wondering when John McBain arrives it is on Tuesday, March 13th. McBain is now back in the FBI, not working for the PCPD, and expect conflict between he and Dante.......I understand the impatience Laura fans feel for her return. You will hear more and more about Laura. There is alot work to do ahead of time for her possible return. Nearly every single thing you've heard about Laura over the last several years will change. It might even seem jarring to newer viewers who have become accustomed to the memory of Laura. All I have been told is that "something" is on the books, my source sounds unwavering despite how it looks......The road to tying the Spencers, Cassadines, Scorpios, Qs and Corinthos families together starts with the Ice Princess as discussed between Cole and Starr when they were going to Port Charles before the car accident. RC loves digging up old details and connections long forgotten.....What if Scott Baldwin was Jason's real father and this is the secret that has been hidden all these years?..... What if Helena was behind Robin's "death"/disappearance, and also has others as well?..... What if Anthony Geary really really is calling it quits?...What if Sam gave birth and someone stole the baby?....One small piece of information....Keep Alan on your minds in the coming months.

The U.S. dollar's strength is being blamed for the recent weakness in base metals prices.
"The recent weakening of many currencies versus the U.S. dollar appears to be related more to a potential weakening of world economies and related less to any perceived renewed growth in the U.S. economy," Desjardins Securities analysts John Redstone and John Hughes told clients, reminding them that most commodities trade in U.S. dollars.
But while base metals may be down, the lower loonie presents an opportunity in Canadian mining stocks. Desjardins continues to value most of the companies it covers using the two currencies at par, but highlighted what a US1¢ change in the value of the Canadian dollar would have on earnings per share (NYSEARCA:EPS).
The analysts highlighted Inmet Mining Corp. (OTC:IEMMF) as the most sensitive name to changes between the U.S. and Canadian currencies, with a US1¢ change over 12 months producing an estimated C12¢ per share change in annual earnings. Teck Cominco Ltd. (NYSE:TCK) is next at C8¢, while HudBay Minerals Inc. (HBMFF.PK) ranked third at C5¢ in EPS.

Hello Lupin
If all 6 letters were different - call them - then there would be arrangements.
But the and are indistinguishable. And they can be arranged among themselves in ways. So our arrangements will contain each of these arrangements as if they were different. And, of course, they're not. So we need to divide by .
And the same goes for and : we need to divide by again, to get rid of the duplication caused by the 's.
So the final answer is that there are different arrangements.
You can generalise this and say that if there are items, with items repeated of the first kind, repeated of the second kind, and so on, the number of different arrangements is:

CNJ staff photo: Liliana Castillo Cindy Hamer and her daughter Katie Hamer took in a day at the Hillcrest Zoo while in the process of moving the family from Grand Falls, Texas to Clovis.
By Sharna Johnson: CNJ staff writer
The latest trend in local entertainment may be a sign of the economic times.
Whether people are strapped for cash and seeking less expensive forms of entertainment or just seeking a release from the stress of everyday life, area programs are seeing new trends in what people do for fun.
Free and inexpensive activities like the library, zoo and community recreation center are seeing an increase in traffic, and even headline entertainment promoted by the Clovis Community College Cultural Arts Series is seeing packed houses of late.
"When we go through times of depression and recession, people turn to entertainment. The movie business did really well during the 30's (because) people find refuge in this type of industry — in entertainment," said Christy Mendoza, Cultural Arts director at CCC.
Last week's presentation of the Broadway musical Bye-Bye Birdie had record attendance and previous shows and concerts also had increased attendance, Mendoza said.
Though eastern New Mexico hasn't been hit as hard financially as other areas of the country, Mendoza speculated that people are still being cautious and looking for things to do that are closer to home and cost less.
"I think people are turning to simpler things to entertain them… people are tending to probably try and save some money," she said. "And we're providing the same type of entertainment you're finding in other cities but our price tag is pretty low."
Stephanie Spencer, CCC's director of resource development said tickets to Cultural Arts Series events average $15 to $20, while tickets to the same concerts and plays sometimes run triple that in larger cities.
"I think that in these challenging times, people still need a release and I believe the performing arts provide that," Spencer said.
The low price tag at the zoo — $2 for adults and $1 for children over 2-years old — may be attracting crowds too.
Director Herschel Arnold said as of February – seven months into their budget year – attendance figures are up by almost 2,000 paying customers over the same period last year.
From July 2007 to June 2008, 20,400 people paid admission to the zoo. Since July this year, 22,300 have already visited.
Arnold said zoo staff work hard to continually improve the park and make the visit more fun. Arnold said he would like to think those improvements helped with the increase, "(But) the economy may be affecting (the rise in attendance). We're fairly low priced and it's something the whole family can do."
And free seems to be attracting people, too.
Librarian Viviane Grimes said crowds at the library are growing as people take advantage of free internet access, books, videos, exhibits and programs for adults and children.
"We have been quite a lot busier in the last couple of months… I think it does have at least a little bit to do with the economy," Grimes said, noting the library has added some programs and attractive traveling exhibits.
Ruben Gonzales, director of Roy Walker Community Center, said the center's gyms and weightrooms seem to be busier in the last few months. There has also been a marked increase in senior olympics participation.
Whether it's directly tied to tighter purse strings, or something else, Gonzales said he can't be sure, but, "I would think that when your dollar doesn't go as far, and we all still like recreation, we all just find ways to do things in the least expensive manner."

Ferrets can quickly get into dangerous situations. They are intensely curious, nearly fearless, highly persistent, and have the ability to squeeze into very small openings. These traits may lead to serious injury or death. Ferrets also like to chew on soft or plastic objects such as foam, pencil erasers, rubber bands, buttons and other objects commonly found around the home. These objects can pose a choking hazard or cause intestinal blockage. An intestinal blockage can be fatal and usually requires emergency surgery.
Before obtaining a ferret or ferrets, it is essential to "ferret-proof" your home (see Ferrets: Ensuring a Safe Environment). Seal all holes larger than 1 inch in walls, floors, or ductwork, and in appliances such as televisions, refrigerators, stoves, and washers. Use wire mesh rather than tape, which ferrets can remove. Put away anything small enough to be swallowed. Do not overlook toxic items, such as houseplants. Lock drawers, cabinets and doors; be aware that childproof locks may not stop a ferret. They are very good at manipulating objects with the front paws, and have been known to open zippers and untwist bottle caps. Get down to ferret eye level and look for small spaces behind furniture and around fixtures such as radiators and pipes, especially those that narrow and taper, where a ferret could become lost, stuck or suffocate. Recliners and sofa-sleepers also pose a hazard. When they cannot be adequately supervised, ferrets should be confined.
Area of Concern
Appliances—washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers, and refrigerators
Exposure to electrical wires and moving parts, as well as entrapment inside a machine. Ferrets have been known to fall asleep in the laundry and end up in the washer or dryer. They also have crawled into refrigerators and stoves while the door was open and been trapped inside.
Seal all holes larger than 1 inch. Lower appliances to the floor and block access from all sides. Always check inside refrigerators, dish-washers, and stoves before closing the door or running the appliance. Examine clothing before placing it in the washer or dryer. If possible, restrict access to the laundry room at all times.
Air ducts
Entrapment, leading to starvation and dehydration.
Seal all holes larger than 1 inch where ductwork passes through a wall or floor.
Open railings
Enclose railings or restrict access to the lower level of the home only.
Electrical wires
Use a plastic wire protector. Apply bitter-tasting spray to discourage chewing behavior.
Open doors or doors with gaps.
Access to outdoors, where the ferret may become lost or injured.
Locate and possibly restrain ferrets before opening doors. Attach a door sweeper or weather stripping to bottom of a door with a gap.
Exposure to cleaning supplies, medications, and other toxic materials; entrapment.
Secure doors using sturdy, child-proof locks. Seal any openings between the cabinet and floor or baseboard.
Falls; access to outdoors.
Ensure screens are free of tears and fit securely. Because ferrets can tear holes in screens, it is best to keep windows closed.
Reclining furniture
Crushing injuries when position is changed; entrapment in wires or clamps.
Remove from home or modify to a stationary chair.
Couches, overstuffed chairs, rocking chairs
Suffocation or serious injury from being sat on; killed by rocking chair rails.
Supervise ferrets around couches, chairs, and similar furniture. Staple a carpet protector or sheet pulled tight to the underside of the couch, or consider replacing with a futon. Inspect cushions before sitting.
Possible poisoning hazard.
Remove from the home or place out of reach. (Remember that ferrets are excellent climbers.)
Box spring mattresses
Possible crush injury when someone lies on the bed.
Staple heavy fabric pulled tight or a plastic carpet protector to the bottom of the box spring.
Crush injury while hiding or tunneling underneath.
Remove rugs or be careful when walking on them.
Any spongy, chewable household objects, including pencil erasers, balloons, Styrofoam, rubber bands, door stops, and tennis shoes
Intestinal blockage, choking.
Keep items out of reach of ferrets, either locked up or in areas that they cannot reach. Do not overlook waste in trash cans. Keep phone numbers for your local veterinarian and the National Animal Poison Control Center (888-426-4435) accessible.
Bathrooms—toilets, bathtubs, sinks
Keep toilet lids down, and possibly use a child lock. Do not leave tubs or sinks filled with water unattended.
This "tunneling" instinct has also led to ferrets being stepped on while under rugs and sat on in couches. It may be helpful to provide ferrets with ready-made enclosures to satisfy the tunneling instinct. Consider flower pots, blankets, large piping, or rugs. Do not use items that might unravel or be chewed up.
Ferrets can be kept as pets in all states in the United States except California and Hawaii. However, some cities, such as New York City, prohibit owning ferrets. You should check with your local Fish and Game or Wildlife Department before purchasing a ferret.
Biting is part of the natural behavior of ferrets. They may bite to get attention or as part of play. This is particularly true of young males 3 to 4 months of age that have spent most of their lives in a pet shop with other ferrets but little human interaction. Ferrets may play with humans in the same rough manner they play with other ferrets. If your ferret nips at you, return it to its cage for a brief "time-out" period. Done consistently, the animal will learn that biting is not appropriate behavior.
Special consideration should be given to households with young children. Ferrets bite and scratch as a part of play, and out of protection if handled roughly (see Ferrets: Biting). Rough handling may also injure the ferret.

Google Analytics Reports Every Webmaster Should Check – Page Performance (Part 1)
Views 1847
Comments 1
A website consists of multiple pages and each page is a combination of different elements and it's important to analyze the performance of each page to identify loop holes and weak points. This Google analytics report is a standard report with some modifications to give a better idea about on site page performance. This report is useful if you run an online business and wish to find out which page is giving you the maximum benefit and which page needs more re-work. You should access this report to stop relying on your gut feeling and focus on clear numbers to make accurate decisions.
Important questions that can be answered through this report:
- How individual pages on your site perform
- Which pages need immediate attention
- Which pages are performing well
How to access the main website page performance report?
- Go to behavior tab under standard reporting
- Click site content
- Click all pages
- By default it displays page URL but you can select page title as the primary dimension
- You get the required data to analyze.
This is how your report will look like:
CLICK TO ENLARGE (opens in new tab)
To see data for a specific page or type of pages then you can include or exclude pages according to your requirement by using advanced filter option. This feature is very helpful if you wish to segregate main website service pages and blogs to analyze.
CLICK TO ENLARGE (opens in new tab)
What the individual Matrices in your report mean:
1) Page Views: Page Views gives you the number of times a particular page was viewed. It counts repeat views as well. You can check the unique page views to eliminate repeat views. Pages with fewer views need attention in terms of relevance, online promotion and SEO.
2) Bounce Rate: When a visitor lands on your web page and exits immediately or after some time without visiting any other page, it is called a bounce. Bounce rate is an extremely crucial metrics to look at. According to google there is a proportional relationship between bounce rate and page relevance. Higher bounce rate means the page was not relevant to what visitors were searching. A high bounce rate is a clear indicator that you need to re-work on the existing page.
3) Average visit duration: It gives you the average amount of time visitors spend on your page. If a particular page has a high visit duration that evidently means that it is engaging for your visitors. Average time spent would vary from page to page and also the average time spent would be higher in case of a blog post as compared to your website page.
4) Exit Rate: Exit Rate is based on the number of visitors that leave your website through that particular page. This is irrespective of the number of pages they have browsed on your website before reaching that page. It includes bounce as well as internal-traffic exit. High exit rate from a specific page other than the last page in your conversion funnel is an indicator of re-work.
Key dimensions to look for in this report
1) Page Title / URL: In your report you can modify the primary dimension to see the website page title or the page URL. This column tells you the behavior of a particular page based on a lot of pre- defined metrics.
2) Acquisition – Traffic Source: You can further add a secondary dimension to your existing report and check different sources which bring in the traffic to a particular page and based on this report you can identify which traffic source/Medium gets the most fruitful traffic.
CLICK TO ENLARGE (opens in new tab)
3) Visitors – age, location, browser etc. (Demographics): You can also add a secondary dimension about the demographic details of your visitors. This report helps you to understand which kind of visitors requires your attention. By adding a column of browser type you can quickly identify the pages which aren't performing well on specific browsers.
CLICK TO ENLARGE (opens in new tab)
How can you interpret this report?
- For a particular page, first check the number of page views and unique visitors. This will give you an idea of pages that get maximum visits and the pages which get the minimum visits require more attention and one probable reason for less visits can be lack of visibility. So you should put more efforts to market those pages on various social media platforms and also work on SEO to rank them organically for appropriate keywords.
- Average time spent on a particular page is a precise indicator of visitor engagement. If a particular page has less visit duration as compared to the average visit duration of your website then it means either the website content is irrelevant or it's outdated. Another reason can be that your website loads slowly or it is not mobile optimized.
- A high bounce rate means that your page gets the traffic but either due to the irrelevant content or difficult to navigate layout they exit immediately without viewing any other page. A high bounce combined by lower visit duration is a very deadly combination, and you must keep a close watch on both these matrices for effective decision making. In present scenario the best way to reduce bounce rate is to have a much targeted landing page with relevant content and user friendly interface combined with internally linked pages.
Thus, scrutinizing and working on the strategic conclusions of this report can bring in better results for your business. But to fully equip yourself to make effective decisions you must stay tuned and read all our blog posts covered under this series on Google analytics reports that you cannot afford to ignore.

Service for fighter pilot to be held today
October 15, 2012, 12:04 am TWN
TAIPEI -- A funeral ceremony will be held in northern Taiwan today to pay tribute to a Taiwanese fighter pilot, who died recently during a military plane crash in France while training, a defense ministry official said yesterday.
The president had issued a statement last week, formally promoting Wang from lieutenant colonel to colonel, which has taken effect.
Defense Minister Kao Hua-chu will also award Wang a posthumous medal at the ceremony commemorating his excellent performance and dedication to his mission, said Ministry of National Defense spokesman Maj. Gen. Luo Shou-he.
The ceremony, which will be held at the Hsinchu Air Base, where Wang was a squadron member, will conclude with a group of Mirage 2000-5 jet fighters flying off as a mark of respect to the fallen pilot, Luo said.
Wang, 37, died during a training operation in eastern France on Oct. 3. His Mirage 2000-5 fighter jet lost contact shortly after taking off from the Luxeuil Air Base, and reportedly crashed into a wooded area some 500 meters from a cluster of houses, French reports said.
"The cause of the crash is still being investigated," Luo said, adding that a team from Taiwan's Air Force is working with the French authorities to identify the reasons behind the accident.
It could take at least six months before the reasons behind the crash are revealed, he added.
Wang's ashes were brought home on Oct. 12 by his family, after a funeral was held early last week at the French air base, where he was in training. During the funeral service, the Taiwanese pilot was posthumously awarded a flying medal by the French Air Force.
The French Air Force said that in his final moments, Wang made a conscious effort to steer the plane clear of residential communities in the Luxeuil-les-Bains area, so as to prevent any loss of life.
Wang arrived in France in 2010 for flight training and was set to finish the two-year program in November.
Taiwan sends a pilot to France biennially to undertake a two-year training program that is part of a 1992 arms deal, under which Taiwan bought 60 Mirage 2000-5s from France.
The Mirage 2000-5 is one of Taiwan's main combat aircraft.

A Near East Side man was arrested yesterday and charged with murder in the Nov. 7 shooting of a bar employee, Columbus police said.
Police say Mario Marquis Harris, 22, of 1255 Eastwood Ave., killed Henry Monger III. Monger was shot outside the Eastside Lounge about 3 a.m. and died a short time later at OhioHealth Grant Medical Center.
A witness had said that Monger, 36, worked at the bar and had just walked outside when someone tried to rob him and then fired at him.
Additional information was not immediately available from detectives.
Acquaintances said Monger was a partner in a screen-printing and sign business called Show Me a Sign Media and also owned a screen-printing shop called OriGinals Customs.
Harris has been out of prison only a few months. He served less than two years of a three-year sentence for robbery, beginning in September 2011. He was released on July 9.
In 2010, while on probation for robbery, Harris was found guilty of a weapons charge. That violation led to him being sent to prison.
Arrest warrants had been issued in Franklin County Municipal Court last month charging that he failed to appear on traffic violations.
A niece of Monger's said her family was glad that Harris was arrested.
"He has been known to terrorize our city," Jaleia Dawson wrote in an email. "I think we will be more at peace when he is convicted."
Dawson said her uncle's absence is felt.
"My uncle was a God-fearing, wonderful, amazing man," she said. "He was not perfect, but he was an outstanding, loving father."
