Skip to comments.3 D PRINTING OF MACHNINE GUN
Posted on 01/23/2013 12:17:32 PM PST by Manta
Glen Beck has guest who has and is able to print AR-15 like machine gun. Video has link to youtube vid of weapon in use
Every video I've seen on this shows only some PARTS of the gun can be printed. And the barrel and firing pin are not among them.
Please don't fall into the trap of calling a semiautomatic weapon a Machine Gun.
Barrels and firing pins are not controlled items, though...
3D printers can print with titanium now
Machnine. Is that like a Tec-9?
Watch the video. Cody shoots semi auto then full auto. Unless he has a very very fast trigger pull
"3D printers can print with titanium now"
The parts he printed do not need to withstand high pressure so you can make them out of plastic. Barrels are very different and need to be made of high strength steel to withstand 50K psi. If you can do this with titanium you can make a fully functional firearm (or you can just buy a conventionally made steel barrel).
Does this mean I can make my own set of Ronco knives, now?
Last time I saw he was able to get six shots before his lower broke. Is he getting more out of them now? Maybe I should watch the video.
An Full Automatic continues to fire so long as the trigger is held down functioning like a machine gun until all rounds are spent.
This is not the AR-15. The AR-15 is a Semiautomatic, every time the trigger is pulled it fires 1 round.
Dunno, I just stumbled across this video. I'm not really a gun connoisseur.
For the 3D printer ping list
If the public understood the reality, there would be a lot less anti-gun fervor.
He 3D printed the 'magazine', not the 'machine gun'
He even says so at the end of the video.
I think he's only printing certain parts as an earlier poster stated. While the technology exists to print with metals from what I've read it is only capable of firing a small number (I heard 6) shots before failing.
He's not printing or using the printed uppers, that is a regular firearm. As I understand firearm laws you can make lowers and other parts all day long legally. In the case of an AR15 the upper is the regulated part which requires a firearm manufacturers license to make.
The one where he's shooting full auto is a normal gun with a printed mag. While that's significant, they haven't been able to print a decent lower. It'll happen but they're not there yet.
The public is to attached to the Liberl MSC for information to grasp reality.
If it get to a point where we have to BUILD OUR OWN, we're in big trouble.
No, you've got it backwards. It's the lower receiver that is serialized and therefore, regulated.
And they're printing just the magazines. In the video, it's white, but it could certainly be printed in black.
Print a plastic water pistol that works...This will impress me and it is doubtful it can be done at this point. Plus how strong and durable are the plastics that are printed compared to the usual injection molding
I'm in when they can print up an M2.
If Jay Leno can print parts (gears) for his Stanley Steamer?
When I watched both videos, especially the Beck video, I got the definite impression that a fully functioning weapon could be printed. Even if on each particular video only parts were mentioned.
I am NOT in anyway knowledgeable about this stuff however.
It's very cool stuff. Thanks for posting.
2) That is not even a complete AR-15. It is only the lower receiver, the part that holds the trigger and stands between the barrel/upper receiver/bolt assembly and the shoulder stock. The barrel, upper receiver, trigger group, bolt, bolt carrier, and charging handle all have to be manufactured by conventional means (milling machine).
3) On my blog, I go into the technical aspects of this: "Innovation Beats Gun Control, Every Time."
The stripped lower is the regulated part.
Additive manufacturing short circuits this and does an end around both big industry and big government. It puts power back into the ordinary citizen's hands in ways that it hasn't been since the industrial revolution. This is the genie that is out of the bottle.
I've never seen an AR-15 machine gun.
Instead of Jefferson's "yeoman farmer" we'll have "yeoman manufacturer" ?
This is not true. The additive manufacturing world is 20 years old, getting very large, and includes many different technologies.
The very cheap machines that are coming out for home use print plastic, yes. But step up a grade in quality and price, and you can buy machines that can print in metal, ceramics, sand, glass, and even wood. I don't see anything in a gun that someone could not make on a current metal printer, except maybe the spring.
The lower is regulated. You can buy all the uppers you want without FFL.
Guess there will be a ban on 3d printers.
Thank you!
No. You can print a lower receiver that can be built to be functional.
For the magazine, I'm not sure how they are doing that. Normally, you'd have a metal spring with a polymer follower. If they figured out a way to "print" a poly spring inside the body of the magazine with an integral follower, that'd be quite a trick.
Thats the impression he wants you to have but I think its incorrect.
Not sure why Glenn is pushing this story. I think he's just trying to stir things up.
Tell me you are not this uneducated about guns. Please.
A slide-fire stock is NOT a machine gun.
And it'd be pretty tough to regulate springs...
The early colt ARs use the same reciver as the M16 only it didn't have the auto sear.
Up until 83 one could buy a auto sear for around 80 dollars then the BATF ruled that the sear itself was a machine gun.
Just not now...
if anything this makes magazines a pointless exercise in law.
This is about taking civil rights without due process.
Man, I knew you gun guys would be all over me like a cheap suit when i posted that link.
Show me a printed barrel that can stand 50,000 CUP pressure on a sintered metal printer. You can't. It would fly apart after 1 shot.
Sorry, not trying to be mean. It's just that we see the same misinformation all over the place, and maybe we get a little tired of refuting it.
I'll try to be nicer, since I know you're not trolling :-)
In the video I mention above, he's using a printed mag... But I'd go dimes to doughnuts the rest of the rifle is a registered Class III and not one of his printed receivers.
Others have pointed out the lower is the firearm, but they didn't mention that you can, legally, make your own lower, for your own use, with no intent to sell (as long as ownership of said item is legal where you live). You can buy 80% lowers on-line, finish them yourself, and maintain the lower as your own, and it needs no serial number (but is recommended strictly for security purposes), doesn't have to go through an FFL, nor does it require a manufacturer's permit.
In addition to the auto sear, the design of the selector lever, hammer,disconnector and bolt carrier differ from the one in the commercial AR-15.
I'd bet they're working on 'regulations', already.
I saw a new terminology for A-15s.
They are now called Modern Sportsmans Rifles.
Oh yea, that was many weeks ago. They are getting better at this by the minute.

Brewing up some 1999 Kunming Factory Red in Red tonight from Origin Tea. Teapot is an early 90s QSN from the same place and the lovely boat is from Andrzej Bero.
The tea has spades of dried fruit taste. First brew in about 15s after rinse was perhaps a bit muted and was mainly fruit and thick lovely oily consistency. I may be using slightly less tea than ideal for the vessel. Pushing the second steep for at least 30-45s reveals some lovely kuwei and a faint note of camphor blending in nicely. This is great. The qi is not crazy strong, but relaxing and the body feels good. Third steep is slightly shorter and I forget about making mental notes and just enjoy the tea.
Time to go back to the tea!

Thats very good looking base, but is it too high ?
Agreed ! with TX ! mine a bit higher but I am 6'2" and I didnt account for the mortar in all the joint OOPs !
That is a refractory cement designed for normal <1/8" joints. Is is also water soluble which is not normally a problem but may be so in an outdoor oven. You can make it work by adding an aggregate, but your best course is to find a dry mix such as Heatstop, or even make your own homebrew.
I'm flip flopping between feeling totally overwhelmed/in way over my head etc
That is perfectly normal. This is my second oven so I feel a bit more confident, but the first time around I was (as the saying goes) "shitting bricks" ... In the end it turned out fine. Not perfect, but fine. And these things don't need to be perfect anyway. So keep going and if you have questions, keep asking.CheersPeter.

The use of Roundup 'has effectively eliminated milkweed from almost all of the habitat monarchs used to use.'and then we really began to see a decline in monarchs. And the reason is that the most productive habitat for monarch butterflies in the Midwest, in the Corn Belt, was the corn and soybean fields [where milkweed, which monarchs feed on, grew]. Before Roundup-ready crops, weed control was accomplished by running a tiller through those fields and chopping up the weeds and turning over the soil, but not affecting the crops. The milkweed survives that sort of tillage to some extent. So there were maybe 20, 30, 40 plants per acre out there, enough so that you could see them, you could photograph them.
We can have an impact if we get the gardeners in this country to help us out by planting milkweed.'production of biofuel. The price of corn and the price of soybeans has gone way up. There is also an increase in international markets.
Monarchs could disappear from the vision of most of us in this country as the migration goes way down.'trees will begin to die and the microclimate that butterflies need is going to become vanishingly small. I hate to think that they're correct. Their projection is based on the temperatures in those mountains increasing by two degrees centigrade in that 17-year period. And if the planet has temperature rises that are that fast, we're not going to be talking about monarch butterflies. We're going to be talking about survival of a lot of things.

The Bacchus Half Marathon did not quite get the required number of votes to register on the RW 'top half marathons' list of 2012, but it would have given the top rated run (Mull of Kintyre Half Marathon) a run for its money (so to speak).
I ran in the Bacchus Half - it was extra-ordinarily good. A-may-zing.
Think the ratings have to do more with who advertises / online entry than anything else as it's certainly not the best rated events.
RW has stipulated for years that races must get at least 25 ratings to be considered for their 'Top 10 lists' - the Bacchus Half got 20 ratings (99% overall, 100% would do it again). Otherwise, it would have been in the top 3, for sure.
Piers, I'm sure it's nothing to do with advertising or whether online entry is through RW - although the race does have to have an event page with RW (you don't then have to do online entry through RW as well) to get ratings.
Just to clarify - our Races of the Year feature (here) is based on all events on the site, regardless of whether they do online entry with us. As Dr Robert says, races must get at least 25 ratings.
The half marathon calendar above is those with online entry on the site - editorial is one of the incentives to put a race on with us.

Is Runners World bias to the south or am I paranoid the the north isn't holding many Half Marathon events? I love to run but need to see a few more events that are a little closer to home. Surely there must be more than the GNR or the lesser known Liversedge! Help! This runner needs your views. #52halfs @HalfMarathonMad

Coach USA bus accident closes Route 60
Horrigan, Johnson have differing opinions on out-of-county waste
ELLERY – When it comes to the landfill, both candidates for county executive say they have the best interests of county residents at heart.
Looking at the landfill, which is located in the town of Ellery, Ron Johnson said he would like to operate the landfill with as little out-of-county waste as possible. Meanwhile, Vince Horrigan sees a benefit in out-of-county waste.
"Many people do not know that the County Landfill and the three transfer stations pay for themselves. Not one nickel of county taxes go to run the county solid waste system," Johnson said. "Certainly a Ron Johnson administration will explore new and better ways to deal with the solid waste generated by our homes, businesses and factories here in Chautauqua County. As a businessman, I am committed to continuous improvement in all county operations."
On the other hand, Horrigan said the landfill nets more than $1.5 million per year for the taxpayers, which he and Johnson both pointed out includes electrical power generation from the methane gas renewable energy plant.
"Out-of-county waste operations provide a $2.5 million source of revenue annually which benefits all county residents and businesses in the form of lower garbage and trash rates and a lower property tax levy," Horrigan said. "As part of our budget review process we will be looking at the landfill financials and projections to evaluate all aspects of the enterprise fund which supports county operations. I have also spoken with our chairman of the legislature about reinstating an environmental committee to specifically address landfill, brine, water quality and other environmental issues."
Horrigan said he has conducted five public forums with area residents, Gerry and Ellery town elected leaders, DEC inspectors and county landfill managers over the last year. In that time, he said he has looked into residential concerns and complaints, DEC inspection results, concerns from the town, landfill management practices and expansion plants. He said the perspective of residents has also been reviewed.
"Because the four issues of odor, litter, traffic, and erosion were resolved, and because the attendance of the public had diminished to one individual – who complimented the landfill operators – it was decided, in conjunction with Ellery town officials, that we should suspend the forums unless a future situation developed that made the forums necessary again," Horrigan said. "Three specific new actions did result from these discussions which were a lowering of the speed limit on the Bemus-Ellery road, the rerouting of early morning truck traffic headed to the landfill, and new schedules and routes for County Jail litter patrols."
After that point, Horrigan said the focus of the landfill turned to cell expansion plans in order for the landfill to remain viable beyond the next four years. An environmental engineering firm is contracted to conduct a second review of the landfill cell expansion project, which included a survey mailed to town of Ellery residents.
"Pending the new information and data that will be available this fall, I am satisfied that the County Landfill is properly operated, supervised and inspected IAW strict DEC criteria," Horrigan said. "The landfill is a reality that exists because we generate garbage and other waste products. Recycling is clearly a significant step that each of us can do to reduce the amount of waste that we generate. I encourage every resident and municipality to make recycling a routine way of life. Where possible, zero-sort recycling should be considered for ease of recycling."
Johnson also believes the landfill is not likely to go anywhere soon.
"No matter how many innovations we implement, however, all of our residents, businesses and industries will still depend on the County Landfill for years to come," Johnson said. "The people of Chautauqua County can count on a Ron Johnson administration to continue to run their County Solid Waste System in the best interests of the entire county."
Horrigan, too, said he will keep the best interests of taxpayers foremost in his decision making.
"This includes a business approach to county government as well as the impact on the surrounding residents and the protection of the environment," Horrigan said. "Furthermore, I will continue to sit down with Ellery town officials to look at the specific impact of the cell expansion at the County Landfill. From that discussion I will determine what should be done to address any unresolved issues. As my county legislator record shows, I will always engage our local elected leaders to address their concerns and build teamwork through compromise wherever possible."

I have taken this as part of liver-boosting diet in combination with other Now Foods products for that condition. couldn't believe how fast my liver function blood test results improved. And it might be just a coincidence, but there has been some relief in my arm, I have been having pains in ever since I suffered nerve damage in the neck area. And finally, I have even used it in preparing food, deserts mostly.

Her slim waste, pretty face and mega booty has to be one of the best i have seen. It was almost too much for one man to handle. My lucky friend almost tagged me in to finish the job but he caught a second wind and banged her pussy up.

Highlights from the Marine Programme at GRID-Arendal for March 2011
Blue Carbon in the Asia/Pacific Region
UNEP/GRID Arendal commenced a collaborative project in late 2010 to develop and implement a Blue Carbon strategy for the Asia/Pacific region. The project follows on from the publication of UNEP's Rapid Response Assessment Blue Carbon (Nelleman et al. 2009), which identified the need for information, awareness raising and capacity building services to support coastal communities in protecting and managing their Blue Carbon resources.
Within this context the project aims to mainstream a Blue Carbon agenda into regional, national and community climate change initiatives in the Asia/Pacific region. The initiative has established a regional Blue Carbon expert working group to provide regional support and direction. This working group currently includes 21 representatives from key regional organizations, participating states, NGOs, research institutions and donor organizations. It is developing a discussion paper that introduces key issues related to blue carbon ecosystems to a regional audience, in order to provoke debate among governments, communities, researchers and the corporate sector on the role of these ecosystems in mitigating climate change. The discussion paper includes an analysis of socio-economic, environmental and political challenges and opportunities. There is a regional Blue Carbon Forum/workshop planned to follow the completion of the discussion paper, which will bring together stakeholders to collate responses and develop a way forward.

…Sea-ice algae – the important first rung of the food web each spring in places like the Arctic Ocean – can engineer ice to its advantage? The gel-like mucus secreted by sea-ice algae as a kind of antifreeze against temperatures well below minus 10 C is also allowing algae to sculpt microscopic channels and pores in ice that are hospitable to itself and other microorganisms.

Teaching Interests:
My courses are designed to provoke students' interest and appeal to students from a variety of backgrounds. Although fashion is often understood to center on apparel choices, fashion impacts nearly every aspect of human lives. This prospect provided the opportunity to incorporate variety topics of inquiry in class. These topics include: Fashion and health, social responsibility and environmental issues involving consumptive behaviors. Students are exposed to up-to-date findings that are critical and timely in the field.
My research revolves around the appearance-related behaviors and its implication to the individual and social well-being from consumer perspectives. I conduct research in a number of areas including, body-tanning behaviors and how one's clothing, along with personality, weight, and ethnic differences impact on experience with appearance-related teasing and bullying, adolescents' risk perception of using appearance related products and body alterations. Serious quality-of-life concerns occur when satisfaction of appearance is compounded by behaviors that may have long-term consequences.

Summer Glowing Skin - Foundation Tutorial
I've got another video for you! I'm on a roll, woo hoo! LOL…I've made it a priority to try and update my youtube videos and blogs during the week because the last few months I kept falling off.
I made this video because a lot of viewers always ask me how to achieve that dewy, glowing skin look. Viewers often comment about my skin and honestly I think it's the camera that makes it look so good, lol. It's also from years of the dermatologist back in middle school! I've held off posting my facial regimen because I keep trying new products. One item that has remained a constant however, is my Camellia Rose Green Tea Shea Soap Bar. It's lasted me forever! One little bar of soap with the answers to all my skin woes. But then again, that's another video.
I wanted to show you how to get glowing summer skin using face products you already have. A lot of us are reluctant to use the same liquid foundation we rocked during the winter because it's so hot and muggy outside. This usually means makeup meltdown. A lot of us are also running to get tinted moisturizers for the summer. In this video I wanted to show you how to make your own tinted moisturizer.
If you don't want to rock this look during the day because of the heat, it's just as great for going out at night. I used all MAC products to achieve this look but you can use whatever you have.
Products Used-All MAC
-mineralized satinfinish foundation NC42 (or your normal liquid foundation)
-msf natural med dark (any setting/pressed powder you use to set your makeup)
-select moisture concealer NW37 (any concealer)
-sunbasque blush (your blush of choice-pick something with a peachy/pink sheen to give that summer flush look)
-msf light flush (any shimmer brick or powder)
-fix plus (you can also use evian spray, aquolina spray, or even plain old water in a spray bottle)
-strobe cream (any liquid luminzer/highlighter like revlon skin lights)
-187 brush (duo stippling brush—from coastal scents, sephora, nyx, etc.)
Here are the steps:
1) Apply concealer to clean face as you normally would.
2) Put a small dollop of foundation on the back of your hand.
3) Put an equal dollop of your strobe cream next to the foundation on your hand
4) Spray fix plus onto your 187 brush to wet the bristles.
5) Mix the foundation and strobe cream on the back of your hand using the wet bristles to get an even mixture. You'll notice the foundation will become lighter and more shimmery.
6) Apply the foundation using 187 brush in stippling motions as usual.
7) Set foundation with your powder minimally on parts of the face where you don't want too much shine—I put a little on my forehead, nose, and cheeks.
8) Apply sunbasque blush on apples of cheek up to temples.
9) Apply msf in light flush on and a little above blush, as well as on nose, forehead, and chin.
10) If you want, give a spray or two of fix plus to set makeup.
11) You're done! Instant glowing skin—it takes less than 5 minutes!
I didn't take pics of my skin after my video but I used the same method and products on my birthday look here.
Check out the video for the tutorial!

i love sunbasque blush! i do my foundation like you, but i squirt mine on a little baby plate and spray a couple of squirts of fix+ and mix it it all together. i like doing that, cause it's summer and i don't want my face to look too cakey or heavy! i love the way the strobe cream looks on you. i've wanted to buy some but for some reason, the fix+ spray always gives me a dewy glow. lol. that's what everyone say about my face! so i haven't bought any =)

A family friend recommended Purity 12's moisturizer during one of our girl talks. She let me try their products for free because her mom would buy it for them, it's her business. After using it for a couple of weeks, I just had to get rid of other brands because the results were unbelievable! Her mom suggested that my mother also do business with Purity 12 and that she try their products too. I really love how everything turned out for us because we're both earning extra money and getting enjoying all the products! You can look at their products, http://if1s.com?122

Yellow Ribbon group praised by adjutant general
MARSHALL – The leading officer of the Minnesota National Guard commended area residents for their efforts to support members of the military during a visit to Marshall on Wednesday. Maj. Gen. Richard Nash, adjutant general of the Minnesota National Guard, said while the needs of area servicepeople may change over time, groups like the Yellow Ribbon Network will continue to play an important role in Minnesota.
During a visit to the Marshall unit of the National Guard, Nash met with Guard members and representatives from the Marshall area Beyond the Yellow Ribbon group. Nash also toured US Bank and Southwest Minnesota State University. Both US Bank, a Yellow Ribbon Company, and SMSU have helped support veterans and members of the military in our region.
Members of the area Beyond the Yellow Ribbon steering committee gave an update on the group's activities.
"One of the things we're in the process of is reviewing our action plan," said Denise Schneekloth, chairwoman of the steering committee. The review process will help the group better meet the needs of military servicepeople and families, she said. The Marshall area group has also taken on a new name, Mustang Country Yellow Ribbon Communities, to reflect a wider focus, Schneekloth said.
Marshall was named a Yellow Ribbon Community in 2011. Schneekloth said since then, the area Beyond the Yellow Ribbon group has generated a good response from the community.
"The people, the businesses and the organizations in this area are just incredible," Schneekloth said. So far, they have been able to help organize networking and support events for members of the military, including the "For All Who Have Served" event that was in Marshall last summer. More than 300 people attended that event, said Jeff Gay.
Mustang Country Yellow Ribbon also has several projects it will continue working on, Schneekloth said. For example, she said, the group is working to compile information on area health care providers who partner with military health care programs like United Health Care.
"If a family is looking for a health care provider that will accept United Health Care coverage, we could tell them that," she said.
Other priorities include helping to connect military service members and their families with mental health resources and spiritual support. Rev. Bernie Wing said members of the Marshall area clergy are helping provide access to retreats and counseling events. Deb Herrman, registered nurse at Marshall Public Schools, said the district now has a resource curriculum in place to help children who may have family members in the military.
"How the community has come together for what you've done is commendable," Nash told Beyond the Yellow Ribbon committee members on Wednesday. "But I would ask that you look at it from a holistic level."
Nash said Beyond the Yellow Ribbon groups around the state will need to adapt to changing needs in the future.
Currently, he said, "There's a reduced footprint of deployments," down to about 230 Minnesota National Guard soldiers compared to more than 3,000 one year ago. But while the need to support deployed and reintegrating troops may lessen, Beyond the Yellow Ribbon communities around Minnesota now have a vital network of knowledge and resources that didn't exist before.
"That is a powerful organization for the state of Minnesota and elected officials to take care of our citizens, for anything," Nash said.

Piston values have stopped droppingTuesday, September 17th, 2013
A few months ago I reported in AOPA Pilot that all aircraft were dropping in value; if it flew, it was down. Recently I checked back to see if things are looking better. Rarely would we celebrate being drug along the bottom of the used aircraft value "ocean, " but that is the case with piston-engine singles and twins. Vref, the airplane value reporting firm, says prices that dropped into the toilet, let's make that the vast clean ocean, have stopped dropping. They bounce up and down, but there appear to be no more cliffs ahead. They should stay where they are for another year, says Vref's Fletcher Aldridge.
Aldredge looked at 25 jets and found all but seven of them are in a buyers' market. If 10 percent of the fleet of, say, Lear 60XR aircraft are for sale, then it is a buyer's market. If the percentage is less and few are available, it is a seller's market. The Lear 60XR is in a buyer's market because 22 percent of the Lear 60XR fleet is for sale, and the used inventory is growing. The Global Express, Falcon 900, Citation II, Beechjet 400A, CitationJet 525, and Gulfstream IV, IVSP, and V, are all in a buyer's market. The Gulfstream 450 and 550 are in a seller's market. You can see the whole list for yourself right here.

W-2 - What is a Statutory Employee?
If workers are independent contractors under the common law rules, such workers may be treated as employees by statute (statutory employees) for certain employment tax purposes if they fall within any of the following four categories and meet the three conditions described under Social Security and Medicare taxes, below.
1. A driver who distributes beverages (other than milk) or meat, vegetable, fruit, or bakery products; or who picks up and delivers laundry or dry cleaning, if the driver is your agent or is paid on commission.
2. A full-time life insurance sales agent whose principal business activity is selling life insurance or annuity contracts, or both, primarily for one life insurance company.
3. An individual who works at home on materials and goods that you supply and that must be returned to you or to a person you name, if you also furnish specifications for the work to be done.
4. A full-time traveling or city salesperson who works on your behalf and turns in orders to you from wholesalers, retailers, contractors, or operators of hotels, restaurants, or other similar establishments. The goods sold must be merchandise for resale or supplies for use in the buyer's business operation. The work performed for you must be the salesperson's principal business activity.
Withhold Social Security and Medicare taxes from the wages of statutory employees if all three of the following conditions apply.
1. Their service contract states or implies that substantially all the services are to be performed personally by them.
2. They do not have a substantial investment in the equipment and property used to perform the services (other than an investment in transportation facilities).
3. The services are performed on a continuing basis for the same payer.
In addition, for an exempt organization, the most common employees in the category of "statutory employee" are its officers.
The employer should indicate on the worker's Form W-2 whether the worker is classified as a statutory employee in box 13. Statutory employees report their wages, income, and allowable expenses on Schedule C (or Schedule C-EZ), along with filing federal Form 1040. Statutory employees are not liable for self-employment tax because their employers must treat them as employees for social security tax purposes.

Pot, grapes, mushrooms are leading pet poisons
The leading cause of plant-related poisonings in pets is grapes/raisins, which are so toxic that even a tiny number can cause acute renal failure in dogs and cats, a survey has found.
Mushrooms, second, and marijuana, third, are next on a top-10 list of pet poisonings caused by toxic plants, according to a survey compiled by Veterinary Pet Insurance from its claims by policyholder.
Story continues below----------------------------------------------------------------------A book about a rescue dogthat will touch your heartTHE HUNT OF HER LIFE, a full-color book by newspaper journalist and MySetterSam.com publisher Joseph A. Reppucci, is must reading for animal lovers of all ages. It has 60 color photos of dogs to illustrate the compelling story of Samantha, an unwanted rescue dog adopted at age 2 by Mr. Reppucci. Travel with them along a trail of life filled with surprising twists, sudden turns, mystery and even what some call a miracle. And when the journey is finished, you may never look at people and their pets, motherhood - and perhaps even God - in the same way. THE HUNT OF HER LIFE will take you on a captivating journey - a trip like no other - that will touch your heart.For more details and to order, go to theAlso find The Hunt of Her Life on:----------------------------------------------------------------------Story continues here
Pet parents can easily prevent most poisonings related to plants by exercising caution, VPI veterinarian Carol McConnell says.
"Prevention is a simple matter of keeping these hazards out of a pet's environment," Dr. McConnell states in a media release. "To avoid plant poisonings, try not to give a dog table scraps that contain raisins, onions or nuts, and make sure that a new pet is introduced to a backyard free of sago palms, wild mushrooms or other toxic plants."
A pet that ingests grapes or raisins needs immediate treatment, Dr. McConnell says. A veterinarian may try to induce vomiting and administer intravenous fluids. Symptoms include anorexia, lethargy, depression, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain.
The mushroom most responsible for poisoning pets is the common backyard variety that often grows in grassy places, especially after a heavy rain, according to the survey. It contains toxic components that disrupt the functioning of the digestive tract and liver. If ingested, mushrooms can cause salivation, dehydration, vomiting, diarrhea and liver failure. The best way to prevent an accidental ingestion is to regularly scan a yard and remove wild mushrooms.
Pets are most frequently exposed to pot when they eat baked products that had the drug as an ingredient or the remains of marijuana cigarettes.
According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, ingestion of marijuana by a pet can result in depression, lack of coordination as well as vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, increased heart rate, and even seizures and coma. Pets that ingest marijuana should get immediate veterinary treatment. A veterinarian can make the pet vomit to minimize the amount of toxin available to be absorbed or can administer activated charcoal to help reduce the amount of toxin absorbed.Rounding out VPI's list of top 10 toxic plants are: the lily, walnut, onion, sago palm, macadamia nut, azalea and hydrangea.
VPI also received claims for ingestion of the following plants or plant products: delphinium, crocus bulbs, hemlock, rhododendrons, gladiolus, tea tree oil, poison ivy, nightshade, tobacco, poinsettia, oleander, brunfelsia, hibiscus, almonds, scarlet pimpernel, potpourri and kalanchoe. Nearly all claims for lily ingestion were submitted for cats.

Its strong smell can motivate a dog to taste or eat it. Some fertilizers contain organophosphate pesticides which impair the nervous system. VPI received 60 claims for organophosphate poisoning. Pet owners can avoid accidents involving fertilizer by using fertilizers that contain no pesticides in areas frequented by pets.

Cleveland State Stays in the Great Lakes
Inside Prep Sports
Over the years, Cleveland State has had succes in recruiting Michigan players. Monday night, one of Detroit's better players made a commitment.
6'6" 2011 forward Marlin Mason of Detroit Cass Tech committed to the Vikings. While he's still raw, he plays above the rim, and has a knack for rebounding, and blocking shots. Mason has power forward traits but shows signs of developing into either a skilled four-man or small forward in recent fall open gyms and in this past summer with his AAU team, Southfield Transition 17u. He also helped lead Cass Tech into the Detroit Public School League playoffs for the first time under head coach Dave Dixon.
Southfield Transition's program director, Dez Denam, and 17u coach said this about Marlin, "He's a true athletic, blue collar, and intelligent basketball player. He's worked himself into what he's earned."
Marlin unofficially visited Central Michigan in the past month and had strong looks and offers from other Horizon League, Mid-American Conference, and Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference programs.

Two of top 10 unsigned seniors take step towards NCAA March ambition
Published: Tuesday, October 05, 2010, 10:43 PM Updated: Tuesday, October 05, 2010, 11:56 PM
Stephen Bell Stephen Bell
When we look back on college teams whose unanticipated sublime performances have made the NCAA Tournament the true beautiful game, the names Cleveland State and Bucknell ring out.
It was Cleveland State, with NYC playground legend Mouse McFadden at the point and the ill-fated Kevin Mackey coaching, beating Bobby Knight's No. 3 seed IU before reaching the 1986 Sweet 16. Michigan native and current Cleveland State coach Gary "What Has Tommy Amaker Ever Done?" Waters is a Mr. Mid-Major March himself. His Kent State team made the Sweet 16 in 2001 (then after Waters had left for Rutgers, Stan Heath took over and the Michigan core of Antonio Gates, Trevor Huffman and Andrew Mitchell went one round farther). Teams in the Horizon are working hard to be a consistent second-bid team behind Butler. Like Detroit did with Ray McCallum Jr., Cleveland State kept pace with the commitment of local star Anton Grady. Now the Vikings add a commitment from 6-foot-6 Detroit Cass Tech senior Marlin Mason. He'll be the physical, athletic, hustle complement to the other forward Grady. His strength, ups and motor may call to mind another Michigan alumnus who excelled at Cleveland State, Flint Northern's J'Nathan Bullock.
Another top 10 uncommitted pledge comes from 6-7 Petoskey senior Cory Starkey to Bucknell. He and Mason are very similar. They like to assert their athletic and physical advantages, blocking shots, dunking, going hard and taking hits. The style and approach to their games represent well the most admirable traits of their basketball birth route, Detroit and Northern Michigan.
Bucknell's 15 minutes of hoop fame went on the clock with a first-round, last-minute ko of No. 3 seed Kansas in 2005, then ended after another first-round win in 2006. The Bison are assembling the talent to get back to the Tournament. Bucknell already has a gifted guard in Cameron Ayers and 6-10 Mike Muscala, and Starkey will give it another player whose talent is way above average for the Patriot League.
Starkey will join two other Michigan alumni in the Patriot. Former De La Salle center Kevin McCarthy is a freshman at Lehigh, where Traverse City St. Francis' Holden Greiner is a sophomore returning to the rotation of the league's 2010 NCAA entry.
Talk about knowing your recruiting niche. Bucknell has offered another Emmet County kid, Pellston junior guard Christopher Hass, while Cleveland State has one out for Mason's Cass Tech teammate, senior guard Kris Fulwood-Davis. KFD also has an offer from Northeastern, while Hass is being recruited by Davidson, Wisconsin, Oakland, Central Michigan and Western Michigan.

Evodus? Who thought of that name and who can I slap for it.
But yeah echoing the sentiment, has happened before and will happen further down the line.
I have eaten all the popcorn, I left none for anyone else.
Anyone have the new armory? Evodus seems to be gone and i can't recall any of the new char names on Mal'Ganis.
edit: i found it. But to the above posters, i'm on vodka's old server (Alterac Mountains) but on alliance - my guild likes to gank vodka (a lot), and I often noticed Graf was either afk outside the raid or not online at all during the raid times, but the rest of vodka was online.

What we love: Comfort. This is not surprising for a place that was once a coffee shop. You can sit at a table or in a folding chair or simply stand. This is one venue that never gets too crowded or uncomfortable. (Although people have been known to sit on the floor at popular kids shows.)
What we don't: The name. Don't you feel just a little embarrassed when someone asks where you're seeing a show and the answer is "Jammin' Java?" It's always a risky proposition for a business to change its name once it's established, but if ever there was a place that might consider it, wouldn't that be Jammin' Java?
--David Malitz, Sept. 16, 2011
Appearances are deceiving. Jammin' Java sits in a small strip mall in downtown Vienna, and driving down Maple Avenue, you'd probably mistake it for just another suburban coffee shop. In fact, it serves that function during much of the day, starting at 7.
But at night, Jammin' Java transforms into an intimate venue showcasing national, regional and local acts, with an emphasis on singer-songwriters and roots and Americana acts. Owners and brothers Luke and Daniel Brindley are themselves acclaimed musicians, and touring the country, they've obviously taken notes on what constitutes a great listening club: small, cozy, with a sterling sound system clean and clear for acoustic groups and sturdy for electrified bands.
Who goes? The nighttime crowd is the standard college kids, young professionals and savvy music fans.
What to eat and drink? Coffee may be Jammin' Java's mainstay (the cappuccinos and lattes are highly recommended), but wine, beer and, more recently, liquor are also available. A small menu features salads, sandwiches, chilis and desserts as well as good vegetarian alternatives.
Tickets: All concerts are general admission. Tickets, generally between $10 and $20, can be purchased at Jammin' Java, online or by calling 703-255-1566.
Getting there: No close-by Metro stop, but there is plenty of parking -- hey, it's a strip mall.
Here's a tip: Giving added meaning to "all ages, all the time," Jammin' Java serves the area's widest, and youngest, fan base. Almost every day, there are morning kids' shows. The club clears out an area in front of the stage so tot-rockers, mostly 5 or younger (their elders should be in school) can bounce around as designated drivers -- moms, dad, nannies -- enjoy a cup of joe (adults are free, kids pay).
-- Richard Harrington (Nov. 2, 2007)

I agree: 4th great grandparents are so close that we may lose motivated non-paying collaborators. That would be a loss for all. The limit for unpaid use should be preferably around the year 1500. BUT: the rates charged of Pro users are still bearable compared with alternatives, e.g. MyHeritage or Ancestry.Com. If you want to be a serious genealogist, you should be prepared to invest. When more people invest, Geni can develop even better services.

It seems to me the underlying assumption (whether one agrees with it or not) is that: (a) that '5th generation' will already be there and one only has to request a merge, or (b) if you have data that far back, you ought to be "serious enough" to pay.
I might guess the Geni motivation (besides money) may be to minimize continual adding of duplicates from folks who don't research possible existing connections thoroughly.

Agreed Dan... I was in a discussion where a user TOLD us that they had purposely created multiple duplicate profiles because they didn't like the way the other manager had entered the data, then came looking for help in getting them all approved. This eleminates that kind of "it is MY tree, not yours" attitude and gets us all on the same page.
It would be nice, however, if Geni found a way to "gift" or "grandfather" some power users who HAVE made worthy contributions and are serious about it, but who also have financial situations that prevent them from becoming a Pro user, a way to get Pro access. If that happens, though, I think curators should get to review the work that person did before they say "give them access"....

According to Wikipedia the world population around 1750 was about 800 million people. So with only 50 million profiles it would be a bit premature to shut down the contribution of the biggest part of the members while assuming that the '5th generation is already there'.

Well it is sad, us who foexample can not pay because we are unemployed and even are living on existence minimum, searching for job everyday but have alot of time to just work with our historical part of our ancestors can´t participate now. I hope i can get a job so I can pay in the future but one never know...I do not think we have missused this site the opposite, we (and certainly I) have worked hard to find children to ancestors and tried to find connections etc. I think it is deeply SAD!!!! Well i continue with the things I can do, but it is not the same anymore. I will say thanks again (i did it on another discussion) to all the people I have cooperated with, but nolonger have possibility to do so. Thank you cooperators and shame on geni! sincerely Steve
8/13/2011 at 3:57 AM
For me... it feels....
After researching my ancestors to the 18th century, I'm not able to add their siblings or their parents! I'm not able to edit my own family story!!
This isn't fair for the majority of the Geni-users, who are free users. After years of imput by the free users (you take away their data and possibilities), you thank them to restrict their 'rights'! Btw, the intention behind the pro-user is to give them more rights, but the intention behind the pro-users is never to restrict the free-users. Genealogy must be accessible fotr everybody, even for the free-users.
8/13/2011 at 4:10 AM
Now I discovered that I am not even allowed to se my family tree where I am manager back in for example 17´s century. Which I have put in, I could do it yesterday but today NO WAY. It is a great shame geni, Here we have worked hard for you so you can suck out us all. before they who wanted to have other benefits got it but now we have worked and lost ALL. It is a disgrace, be a shame on you GENI!!!!! Steve Palmqvist
P:S. an now are you going to erace all of our work?

George, I wait some time before I work further, I will see what happens with Geni after these new rules en what non paying users are deciding to do. I received a lot of mails from users who are deleting their profiles and leaving Geni for other sites. I hope Geni staff reconsider all and keep them aboard.

omdat ik dat al van plan was, heb ik een jaar-pro genomen, maar gezien de onredelijke beperkingen die men nu aan non-pro gebruikers oplegt, overweeg ik na de proeftijd niet verder te gaan. Kijk dus ook 'de kat uit de boom'. Jammer, had er veel plezier aan, maar wat ik nu lees maakt me droef. Wanneer men zo'n inspanning heeft gepleegd om geni bekend, betrouwbaarder en succesvol te maken, is het een belediging.

These recent changes have now been commented even outside Geni by Tamura Jones in his website. Have a look at it at http://www.tamurajones.net

Eero here s another good one, a must read!
8/15/2011 at 8:01 AM
I have read all the posts, and agree with most of them. I have been a Pro user for a while, but I feel that it is indeed unfair for Geni to accept the free input from thousands of "free" users, then cut them off from their own work. In my line of work, that would be considered "Theft of Services" and is a misdomeaner offense, punishable by fines, restitution and even possible jail time, depending on the extent of the service provided. I have exported my jedcom...will wait and see how this turnes out. I have enjoyed working with so many awesome people and "new" relatives...I will miss that if I leave.

I understand the anger and disappointment that you're feeling, but I also think you are mischaracterizing the nature of these changes. Geni hasn't cut off anyone from the work they've contributed. You still have full edit rights on the profiles you've entered. We've realigned the features surrounding the more-extensive genealogy activities to pair with what we consider a premium service. And there's still a great deal that you can do on Geni with a free account.
8/16/2011 at 1:47 AM
Mike that is a lie, because I can´t do anything with my added old ancestors and relatives. I thought this was a project going on for a long time som of course there are things not 100% secured so to speak, i thought when it was said this was free that one could work on in and I have added alot of ancestors long back in time. Now it is not possible to do anything to add more dacts, more children or what so ever...We are furious Mike, we have been hijacked so to speak. A great shame for GENI!!! before I used to tell alot of my relatives etc. to join...I would never do so from now of course not! And i have all ready got people into it that feel the same as me, quite many!!! regards Steve

It is true that we now require a Pro account to merge profiles, or to add onto profiles outside your third great grandparents / fourth cousins. We believe that these are the "power features" of our collaborative genealogy site and as such, merit inclusion as premium features. You can still edit those profiles, as can your collaborators.

Mike do you honestly feel that you are improving things this way? Yes you will make money (well maybe if everyone doesn't leave) which ultimately is the goal but I think you are going about this wrong. Advertisement and different teared plans is the way to go about this. Why don't you sell services that help people build their family tree from scratch and do research? You really shouldn't mess the the ability for people to edit the core tree but rather monetize the ability to find metadata and manage their tree easier. What you did here was take away what we already had... that isn't something you do in this day and age. Most companies are going from few features for free users to opening up more features for free users. I understand you need to make money but I just don't think this is the right way. Lastly if you want to argue that this makes the tree more accurate and reliable I will argue against that as well, all this is doing is allowing people with deeper pockets to make edits and does not take into account their edit reputability.

Using Mutual Funds To Save For College
Mutual funds from TIAA-CREF offer several possibilities for education savings.
One possibility, is a regular mutual fund account in your name, with the funds earmarked for education. You'll retain control over the funds (perhaps minimally affecting your child's eligibility for financial aid). Contributions won't be deductible and earnings will be taxed at your rate, which is presumably higher than your child's.
Alternatively, you can put in up to $12,000 a year (in 2007) free of federal gift taxes, in your child's* name through a custodial account under your state's uniform gift (or transfer) to minors act. The so-called "kiddie tax" applies to children under age 18 with unearned income. Generally, the first $850 of annual earnings is tax-free, and the next $850 is taxed at the child's rate (usually 10%). Unearned income over $1,700 is taxed at the parents' highest marginal tax rate (unless the parents are taxed at a lower rate than the child). Children age 18 and older pay taxes on all net investment income earned in the account at their tax rate, typically 10%. (These figures apply for the year 2007, are generally adjusted annually and are subject to change due to legislation.) For the 2008 tax year, the kiddie tax will be expanded to include dependents under the age of 19 and dependent full-time students under the age of 24.
Another alternative is a Coverdell Education Savings Account, formerly called an Education IRA. It is a tax-advantaged education savings account. Contributions cannot exceed $2,000 in after-tax dollars, but funds can be withdrawn free of federal income tax and penalties on earnings to pay for qualified elementary, secondary and higher education expenses.Certain tax laws allowing federally tax-free qualified withdrawals are set to expire on December 31, 2010. Congress may or may not extend the law beyond this date. You should consult your tax advisor about the potential expiration of this and other tax benefits applicable to Coverdell Accounts.
When choosing among the mutual fund options for your Coverdell Education Savings Account, you may consider, among other things, your particular financial circumstances, investment time horizon, tolerance for risk and whether or not you have other savings in place for education expenses. For example, if your time horizon spans beyond a decade, you may consider allocating a greater percentage of your contributions to stocks, which have greater risk but historically offered greater potential for growth than other options. Past performance, of course, does not guarantee future results. You should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing.
You can choose among the wide variety of no-load mutual funds we offer for your Coverdell Education Savings Account. As time for paying tuition nears and fluctuations in the account value become less tolerable, you may want to rebalance your assets and reallocate contributions toward a more conservative strategy.
Keep in mind that Coverdell Education Savings Accounts aren't like IRAs. As tax-advantaged college savings plans, they can't be used for retirement investing and don't affect your eligibility or contribution limits for actual IRAs and/or tax-deferred annuity plans.

Future returns will fluctuate, as will the value of investment principal. The shares you own may be worth more or less than their original value upon redemption.

College graduates can't write because Freshman Comp doesn't teach them, writes R.V. Young, an English professor at North Carolina State, on the Pope Center's Clarion Call.
When the GI Bill opened college doors to many more students after World War II, freshman comp "became the foundation for liberal education of a broad swath of American students who were often encountering for the first time the liberating effect of intellectual cultivation – the mental excitement of mastering intellectually difficult books, handling ideas with discernment, and realizing their thoughts in clear, coherent language," Young writes.
. . . At least some acquaintance with the humanities was thought to prepare students for leadership or at least furnish the materials for better citizenship and a more fulfilling life.
In the last 30 years, freshman comp has been taken over by "the social sciences and the public education establishment." Researchers write up their theories; adjuncts do the teaching.
Since theorists believe reading and writing are different skills, literature has been banished from composition classes.
Theorists believe grammar and usage conventions are unimportant, unteachable and "may even be damaging to minorities." They tell adjuncts not to mark errors on student papers: Students "best learn to write from one another by breaking up into little groups in class and 'peer-reviewing' their work, since it is their own generational cohort for whom they should be writing."
In the 1970's, when Young started at North Carolina State, English professors taught freshman comp.
The "theory" of composition that guided the course was that students learned to write by writing a great deal and having their papers marked thoroughly and severely by the professor, who would often reinforce the lesson in individual conferences. The first semester of this two-semester course required 14 short papers, the second semester 11 plus a short research paper. It was the academic equivalent of boot camp.
Asking students to write essays about works of literature gave them a common topic, which they approached with few preconceptions, Young writes. Freshman find it easier to assess the role of faith in Hawthorne's Young Goodman Brown, than to "give thoughtful, unself-conscious account of their views on abortion or global warming — the kind of topic that is typical nowadays."
Young no longer teaches writing. As a literature professor with no "composition theory" training, he's considered unqualified.
How well is this new approach working? An increasingly common complaint among employers is that college graduates can't even write a short memo that's clear. The melancholy results of the now prevalent approach to composition are plain to see in the pitiable level of reading and writing skills possessed by most college graduates.
Frisky blogger Jessica Wakeman wishes she'd learned more about literature, history and politics and taken fewer gender studies courses. "There's a difference between what I thought was "cool" to learn about at the time and what has actually proved useful in life," she writes.
