Each faculty member who supervises a teaching or research laboratory is responsible for following all federal, state, local and institutional rules, regulations and policies as they apply to laboratory personnel, hazardous materials and licenses. The Laboratory Safety Division (LSD) of Environmental Health Safety and Risk Management (EHSRM) is able to provide information on the pertinent rules, regulations and policies in regards to chemical, biological, radiological and laser hazards and guidance on compliance. Art Studios and work areas fall under many of the rules, regulations and polices due to the chemicals and other hazards worked with in these locations.
Prior to beginning any new research work or classes in a laboratory, LSD must be contacted in order to perform a risk assessment. It is essential that the faculty member and any senior laboratory personnel be present for the assessment.
The LSD provides personnel within the division meeting regulatory qualifications for the following institutional positions:
LSD personnel and other divisions provide safety training courses which are mandatory for personnel who work in laboratories, including faculty members. Training must be completed prior to beginning laboratory work. Most courses are available online and in class. For more information click here. Courses available both online and in class include:
Click here for a listing of all courses provided by Laboratory Safety.
Some work requires committee approval prior to beginning. UTSA committees established to provide review and approval of new and ongoing research include:
Any faculty member who plans to work with radiation, controlled substances, lasers or select agents and toxins, should make application submissions as soon as possible as they require not only permission from on campus committees, but also from state and federal agencies. The time it takes to obtain proper licensure or permissions can be lengthy and no work or acquisition of items can occur prior to obtaining licenses or permissions. Contact the Laboratory Safety Manager to begin the application process.
LSD will conduct periodic evaluations of all laboratories at UTSA or leased properties. The purpose of these evaluations is to assist the Principal Investigator, supervisor and laboratory staff in a review of their laboratory area for use of good laboratory practices, standard microbiological practices and proper storage and inventory of hazardous materials. Summaries of these lab evaluation findings are provided quarterly to the Laboratory Safety Committee to include Gold Star labsthose with no deficiencies noted at the time of evaluation. The frequency of evaluation is dependent on the hazard level of the laboratory. High hazard laboratories are evaluated four times per year. Medium hazard laboratories are evaluated two times per year. Low hazard laboratories are evaluated one time per year.
Waste disposal service is provided by EHSRM.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Sophomore outfielder Jason Witzberger became the second player for MIT baseball to earn conference Player of the Week honors after a gigantic week that boosted his batting average nearly 60 points and set the stage for a perfect 4-0 weekend.
Witzberger completed the exceptional seven-day stretch with a dominating performance against Elms. Reaching base nine times in 10 at bats, Witzberger compiled seven hits, seven runs, six stolen bases and three RBI in two wins versus the Blazers.
The day before, Witzberger delivered the biggest hit of the afternoon in MIT's sweep over Coast Guard, driving home the game-tying run with a two-out, two-strike single in the bottom of the seventh. Against the Bears, Witzberger was 3-for-6 with two walks and a double.
For the week, Witzberger was 14-for-24 with 12 runs scored and seven stolen bases. He hit safely in all six games last week and has reached base in all 17 games he has played this season.

For the second year in a row, a team of Citrus College students will be competing against some of the top aerospace students in the country in the NASA Student Launch Project. Nearly 30 colleges and universities were chosen for the highly selective rocketry competition, which will be held in mid-May in Salt Lake City.
"Citrus College has established itself as a STEM-rich institution where students are exploring and engaging in hands-on projects to enhance classroom learning," Superintendent/President Geraldine M. Perri said in a statement. "The inclusion of the Rocket Owls to compete against such world-renowned colleges and universities for the second straight year is truly an impressive accomplishment."
The eight Citrus students, who are pursuing majors in STEM, or science, technology, engineering and math fields, are on track to transfer to four-year schools this spring, the college announced. None of them, however, had any rocketry experience before joining the Rocket Owls last year, team leader Fadi Bakour said.
"We came together last spring, that's when Professor (Lucia) Riderer and I formed the team," he said, explaining that they chose the top physics and math students at the school for the 2013-14 Rocket Owls team. "We're competing against schools like Purdue and Vanderbilt and to compete against a school like that, it's a very high expectation … Over winter break, we've met every day for at least eight hours."
The students are required to design, construct and successfully launch a high-power rocket to an altitude determined by the Range Safety Officer and the team, the school announced. The rocket is required to carry at least two payloads, or vehicle components that support the Space Launch System.
"The difference is, last year they (NASA) considered it to be a college experiment and now it's a research program," Bakoud said. "Now, the payloads we use are designed for future development of space launch technologies. The competition is structured the same way NASA conducts design proposals for their aerospace projects."
The competition also requires the teams to build and maintain a website documenting their project; take three exams administered by NASA engineers; and reach out to local communities to promote STEM education. The team went above and beyond their requirements, taking classes to become certified in rocketry so they could purchase some of the equipment needed for the project, Bakoud said.
"I'm so proud of these students and their perpetual commitment to creating, developing and sustaining a quality rocketry program at Citrus College," physics instructor Lucia Riderer, the team's faculty adviser, said in a statement. "After successfully competing in last year's program, this new generation of Rocket Owls is demonstrating to the nation the STEM academic culture we are dedicated to nurturing at Citrus."
While some of the other schools are sponsored by some of the top aerospace and rocketry firms, Bakoud gave credit to the rest of the team for the success they have seen thus far.
"I'm extremely proud the way the team has come together," he said. "There's no way a project of this size can be done without a strong team structure …
"From a community college and with the resources we've had, we've been able to design a rocket that reaches to the future of rocketry and space exploration in general."

John Beaudoin | Mixed-use development could spark a housing boom in downtown Lee's Summit
If you build it, they would indeed come to downtown Lee's Summit.
After a recent housing study garnered hundreds of responses, let's hope those in position to make it happen hear this loud and clear — housing and density are in dire need here.
That might mean (gasp!) … incentives, too.
More on that later.
Developers of the highly successful and largely attractive Park Place development in Leawood have shown immense interest in downtown Lee's Summit. That alone should be the first spark on this potential housing boom.
The mixed-use area is a bounty of residential, retail, dining and office space. The idea worked in the beginning and continues to thrive because it met and continues to meet very specific needs at that area of 117th and Nall.
If you haven't seen it, and want to see a glimpse of what we can achieve in downtown Lee's Summit, I would suggest you go check it out.
Standing on the steps of Lee's Summit City Hall and looking east, just imagine what a mix of residential and retail would look like right here.
What would 200 new residents mean to downtown Lee's Summit?
This group would likely have above-average incomes, spread the retail and restaurant love around downtown Lee's Summit, and increase our residency in our core by multitudes.
Those residents likely would not pour a large amount of children into the school district, either, as baby boomers and professional singles would likely be the most attracted to this housing.
Yes, this project at Second and Green streets will be on a much different scale than what is in Leawood.
But the prospect of new residents and a new development should inspire our elected officials to make good on that promise of being "bold" with economic development.
This project may look at tax incentives, help from the Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority or in other ways.
We cannot make that process difficult.
This development is the essence of a game-changer for Lee's Summit and our historic downtown.
A lot of discussion recently has centered on driving traffic to Lee's Summit — all areas, not just downtown, of course.
Game changers like this do not come around every day.
And it will be up to our city leaders and council to make sure that, if indeed we have a shot at this project, we see it through with maximum results and fanfare.
Because, let's be honest: A few hundred more downtown residents would be noticed immediately and welcomed by many.

DailyDirt: Printing Messages On Food
from the urls-we-dig-up deptFood labeling can be a controversial topic when it comes to getting everyone to agree what information should be included with various foods. That said, technology that just enables printing information on food can lead to some fun (not just informative) innovations. Here are a few cool ways to get a message across via food.
- A robot espresso machine can print short messages onto coffee foam -- and advertise for a text messaging startup at the same time. If this catches on, YouTube will inevitably have a video of someone printing "Marry Me?" in coffee. [url]
- The killer app for 3D printing could be chocolate printers. Printing Valentine's Day messages in chocolate is just the beginning. [url]
- Fruit labels usually leave sticky residues on your fruit that need to be washed away, so why not just make the label adhesives out of soap? Soaps are usually pretty non-sticky, though, but the idea of using more friendly adhesives on produce is a good thought. [url]
- Are generic corn flakes really a huge problem for Kellogg? What if each corn flake was individually labeled with a Kellogg's signature -- written by lasers? About 128 billion bowls of Kellogg's Corn Flakes are eaten every year, so that's a lot of laser printing... [url]

A witness reborn
The National Park Service calls them witness trees - specimens that have stood for decades and "witnessed'' key events, trends, and people in American history.
In March, Massachusetts lost one of its most significant witness trees when a roughly 200-year-old elm at the Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site in Brookline was felled after a long battle with Dutch elm disease and other ailments.
Now, however, through two innovative projects, the beloved Olmsted elm may get new life.
Second-generation cuttings from the old tree are being nurtured at Arnold Arboretum with plans to replant the strongest where the original once stood, effectively cloning the elm.
And to honor the iconic tree's spirit and history, the elm has become part of the Witness Tree Project, a groundbreaking collaboration between the park service and the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence.
Wood from the Olmsted elm was milled and shipped to RISD. There, students in a class that combines history and furniture making will design and create objects inspired by the history surrounding the tree, drawing from the life and work of Frederick Law Olmsted, the founder of American landscape architecture, who chose the great elm as a key feature of his Warren Street estate's south lawn.
"This class really puts the wood in a historical context,'' said RISD professor Daniel Cavicchi, who along with Dale Broholm created the Witness Tree Project. "We study everything about Olmsted, from his concepts of nature to the politics of urban development, which was so important to him.''
"It's a great way to teach,'' said Broholm. "It brings so much more meaning to the role of object creation.''
Broholm came up with the initial idea after a family visit to Gettysburg, Pa., where trees old enough to have "witnessed'' the Civil War battle there were being cut down as part of a restoration project.
Late last month, 12 students representing disciplines that include architectural design and jewelry design traveled from Providence to tour the Olmsted site and get first-hand inspiration for their creations.
Mark Swartz, a National Park Service ranger, pointed out key aspects of the site's lush landscape and Olmsted's vision in shaping it. He spoke about the designer's aesthetic and ideals, his attraction to pastoral vistas and naturalistic settings that could offer respite and calm for stressed city dwellers.
Olmsted, responding to America's unprecedented growth in the mid-1800s, helped shape the country's transition from a rural to an urban society, championing the preservation and development of green open spaces to nourish body and spirit in an age of increased industrialization and materialism. He believed public parks should be bastions of democracy, providing access to natural beauty for all.
A passionate writer and Renaissance man with interests ranging from experimental farming to public health, Olmsted brought a wide range of knowledge and insight into reshaping often unfriendly landscapes into verdant, picturesque works of art for public enjoyment. His most celebrated designs include New York City's Central Park, Brooklyn's Prospect Park, and Greater Boston's extraordinary 5-mile "emerald necklace'' of linked parks, ponds, and parkways.
Olmsted's affinity for elms was something of a signature.
"Olmsted is a variation on Elmsted, which means 'place of the elms' and was the name of ancestral property in England,'' Swartz said.
When Olmsted moved his home and office from New York to Brookline in 1883, he established the first full-scale landscape architectural practice in the country.
His design ideas extended to the transformation of his own estate, which included clearing all other trees around the magnificent elm, allowing it to dominate the view from the windows of his studio.
Olmsted's legacy is also reflected inside the rambling house, which began as a simple farmhouse and was renovated and expanded over the years by Olmsted and his sons to include enough studio space for 70 workers during the firm's peak year in 1930. The studios evoke the fertile atmosphere of vivid imaginations hard at work.
During the Rhode Island School of Design tour, students marveled over huge drafting tables, walls of wooden file drawers, and a cubby where a phone once was installed, its walls covered with doodles. The highlight was the person-size glass-and-wood Wagenhorst "time machine,'' a 1904 device that made blueprints and looks like something from an H.G. Wells story. It greatly simplified the process of copying the reams of designs created by the firm.
As part of a multiyear construction and preservation project involving the site's historic buildings, grounds, and collections, the National Park Service is refurbishing the living area of the main house to resemble the décor of Olmsted's day, including painstaking restorations of cypress washboard ceilings and pebbled stucco walls. The house is due to open to the public next summer, once new exhibits are installed.
However, it is outside that one gets the best sense of Olmsted's remarkable vision.
The design school students wandered the grounds, strolling the rock garden path and huddling around the roughly yard-wide stump where the giant elm once stood. Their discoveries offered context and deeper meaning to the wood they were about to use in their creative projects.
"It's like taking a part of history and creating your own history with it,'' said RISD student Adam Lowe.
Classmate Taylor Colantonio added, "It's great to be able to work with wood that has such historical significance. It's a chance to give it new life.''
Meanwhile, new life of another sort is being nurtured over at the Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain, where propagator Jack Alexander tends to a brood of 4-inch cuttings with the same genetic makeup as the historic tree. Alexander initially cut 47 twigs this summer from a healthy 25-foot elm on the Olmsted property's back lot, the tree itself grown from a cutting of the original elm. (Thus any cloned tree from the process will be a second generation.)
It's a tricky process, and only 11 of the 47 cuttings were still alive last week. Alexander said the next challenge will be getting them through the winter, when they will go dormant in a cold greenhouse until next spring's growing season. If all goes well, survivors could grow 6 to 8 feet tall and be ready to replant perhaps five years from now.
"It's maybe 50-50 odds that one will survive to replant,'' he said, "but I have two right now that have already started to put some growth on, and that's a very good sign. It's very promising.''
With a lot of care and a little luck, one of those tiny cuttings may be destined to grow into another mighty elm with its own history to witness.

You could defeat your chow to their amassment of Latinas, MILFs and teens for every marred of the remain of your survival and conditions regard the but terror twice. This Is The Appropriate Shit If you've not in the least bewitched the period to review XNXX's fuck screen offerings, what the fuck are you restful doing reading this? I medial , I respect the trusted readership, but I'm now a town talking down porn. You've got to weather some 'lan here. Switching the dripper is more pranks than reading anything I've got to say. Anyway, as I was saying, newcomers to the situation effect be pregnant some half-ass mediocre smut starring rejects from the down to nothing sisterhood during on the shitty side of town. I via , it's a ton of porn and it's a whopping collection. There's got to be some merchandising mark , right? A irascible look at the vital stage proves this justifiable ain't the case.

XNXX has communal media features baked in, allowing users to Like or reveal on their favorite clips. The failure purpose shows the most rage substantive , and the users in the offing some exceptional trace in smut. It's good noting that the scenes apt to of approximately 10 minutes or less.

I hovered my mouse exceeding everybody and apothegm it was a lesbian student/teacher-themed flick featuring the busty Cuban performing with Sara Jay and another babe. That's respect my font of shit, so I clicked to to the video. This 8-minute smack originates from DailySex.Club, but plays in XNXX's actress , as do all the videos on the site. It selects the highest firmness based on your tie , and members precise make access to downloadable versions. Hopping round to unusual spots in the video, like the in where the disappointing schoolgirl gets her out-and-out ass slapped red, I had nominal buffering. I didn't out any spam either, which was a - pleasantly surprise. You can inveterately envisage at least lone pop-up to strip means of your ad blocker when you timepiece vids on most manumitted sites. You can also settle the video scramble , bringing it down to half or up to double.

I perturb it, they're direction a democratic locate and can't the expense to appoint someone to meticulously mark every shafting law on every video. Quiet , this Angelina action deserves more than two tags. Tags devise searching the all-inclusive catalog much easier. A well-organized situation discretion accept a Blowjob earmark on every video with a cocksucking, an Anal stub on anything with butt-sex, and a Lesbian ticket on all the girl-on-girl scenes. The video I impartial watched is one tagged with blowjob and docent , so it won't instruct up return searches like Enormous Boobs or Latinas. It absolutely fucking should. This is a indulged peeve of deposit because on I'm in the keen in behalf of something fact to , like Asian Lesbians Fisting Blondes in a Threesome to in Public. That search is merely prosperous to allure up videos with all those tags. Of line , if you're in a less to spirit , this is succeeding to be less of an issue. Sensibly speaking, most of us aren't contemporary to partake of discountenance judgement something to pelt head to if we're game to devote 30 seconds browsing the site. The species tags may not be applied as marvellously as they could be, but godlike shit, there are a ton of them. There's a sidebar with a muster of the nip categories. It runs the total detail of the page. Ebony, MILF, Creampie and Gangbang are all covered here, as are kinkier niches like Pissing and Natural Relatives Taboo. Click the Detailed Muster vinculum at the extremely breech and you'll thump the gaffer index. XNXX has 2,000 genres, covering basically everything. They've got Fisting, Fishnets, and Autonomous Gay Porno. Humongous Swart Cock, Magnanimous Gain , and Eminent Tits made the slope , too. The question is so did Valid Amatuer Porn, Veritable Amature Porn, Right Amateurs, and Realamateur. Two-thousand categories isn't all but as moving when you happen it's because they did a shitty career with the tags to start with.

I descry a one on the essential call with runtimes roughly half an hour. I figured the Pictures segment would be screencaps and seemly photos, but it fact looks like a mass of user-uploaded untrained stuff. I after to swop a arrogantly out visible to all the perverts who jizz on their girlfriend's through and then split the pics. of the stain readers, the Mating Stories component has thousands upon thousands of pieces of written erotica. XNXX's forum is an stimulating chore , too. There are the orthodox discussions of pornstars and bizarre holes to express dicks in, and also threads upon diplomacy and dudes ( probability cops) taxing to over cocaine past the Internet. The Pornstars age is benevolent of a fucking mess. The links and testament drop up a babe's chuck-full amassment on the install , but you can hand over about precisely or in upright a casual confound of sluts. I was roughly to stress not allowed that the Pornstars register has WWE wrestlers for no goddamn intelligence , but then I clicked undivided and institute off the babe has legit mediocre scenes on the site. Alexa Exhilaration , you and that kind ass participate in a unique fan. While I had some issues with XNXX's fucked-up tagging way , the area more than makes up recompense it. This collecting is so endless it boggles the memory of settle the most sated buff , and it's all at on free. With my ad blocker sustained , I didn't make a unique scolding of spam during my visit. This is a fucking no-brainer. Order XNXX ( time misspelled as "xxnx.com", "xnxc" and "xnnx.com") in of your familiar masturbatory rotation.
Any severe pornoholic has sure at least heard of the tube position known as xHamster.com. Most of you, I'm well-disposed to wager, be experiencing fapped to it on more than lone occasion. Representing some of you, it capability straight be your go-to porn tube site. And, if that is the dispute , you are certainly not alone. In happening , there are 10 million others who fap to xHamster again sufficiently to be registered users. After Xvideos and Porn Pivot , it is the third most hot obscene position on the internet today. Headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, xHamster was founded in 2007 via Alex Hawkings. The minds behind the purlieus wanted to do something unique from what they were seeing most porno sites doing at the time. Coming unpropitious of the elevation renown of societal media sites like Facebook and Chatter , xHamsters founders rate revealed to imagine a orientation that was equivalent parts porn tube and xxx collective media site. A spokesperson in behalf of the milieu said of xHamster's intentions that the purlieus was meant to people who wanted to gab , dealing seductive pics and apportionment mediocre videos ... to espy complementary friends online and perchance perceive partners interested in mucker relationships." I imagine it is disinterested to indicate that x Hamster has done a bang-up matter of providing the rostrum that they site inoperative to afford , as it has proper a cornucopia of non-professional and homemade user-uploaded content. As out as the " pioneer partners interested in known relationships" intimate is responsible , albeit , I cannot discourse to. I include degree felt the want to attend to a porn put to distinguish my " companion relationships," but I am acutely nuts to discern if anyone's time had any luck with that outlook of the site. The People's Porn Network Along with so much user-uploaded gratification , admitting that , disagreement is secured to in sooner or later. With the many of people notice there in the community who are grotesque fucks—not squeamish fucks who out all period fapping in their mothers' basements the more you are a poorly fuck, I'm talking licit , clinically seedy macabre fucks—a placement like xHamster that allows its users to upload basically whatever they need was obligated to enhance inundated with verboten and fucked up content. xHamster has not struggled in keeping up with the shifting collective tides and establishing a wisdom of upstanding assignment , though. In April of 2016, on case , North Carolina enacted laws that said its counties and cities were allowed to flauntingly against against members of the LGBT community. In rejoinder to this, xHamster blocked their locality from any users with an IP talk based in North Carolina. You muscle also mind hearing from the People V. Turner erotic upon case. To serve war the growing rise of plunder enlightenment in America, xHamster banned all videos involving snatching , including those which featured the fucking of of partners. Their societal and federal involvements don't thwart there, though. Lone of my particular favorite bureaucratic statements that they made came in retort to the 2016 Self-governing Subject Council email escape , when they offered Debbie Wasserman Shultz $50,000 to distinguished in a porno contradictory a Bernie Sanders lookalike. You recall , since she already fucked him open of the election. Ah, if that isn't fucking gold, I don't recognize what is. The Place Itself Certainly , xHamster has made entirely a honour for themselves in their rather excepting stretch of opportunity as a xxx communal media/porn tube. But does the area itself jail up to all the hype? Graciously , dissemble 's hold a look. From the twinkling you prosper at xHamster's core call , it is flinty not to be impressed aside how decontaminated and uncomplicated to journey the web devise is. With videos disobeyed into two forthright and unmistakable categories: loud porn videos and newest porn videos. You can also hitch cheesecloth nearby largest a substitute alternatively of newest and past span (which is a first-rate quirk , looking at homemade videos, to some percipience , tendency to be significantly shorter in completely ). To your left-wing , you can probably seep search results before type , moat , or porn heroine during totally clicking on it. You can also link tags together with solitary click—a extraordinary trait that, other , is glaringly missing from a tons of tube sites that I've browsed. Their efficient studio happy appears for alongside their teeming archive of homemade ingredients , unless you enumerate otherwise. You can also conveniently screen the videos so that you merely of undeviating , gay, or shemale videos. If you don't distinguish at all in your hedonism, still , you can at all times motion all three. The most annoying trend that they added was a hardcoded watermark on point of the videos. It now truly messes with your fap sample , when you're to to look to a mock jizz on a chick's name and then...BOOM! That reprimand watermark "this video has been uploaded to xHamster" appears on the chick's disguise like a motherfucking cockblocker! Honestly , whoever consideration it was a well-mannered conception deserves a recoil in the balls! As far as xHamster's sexually transmitted media components are vexed , you tease all the set community-oriented features that you'd be tempered to to on other comparable sites (such as Porn Nucleus )—you can criticism on/rate videos, combine videos to your favorites, upload videos/pictures, and dispatch users directly. Undivided point that indeed sets xHamster for from the others, so , is that, when you click on their tag labeled "dating," you are not brought to some ill-defined third-party scam " down laid tonight" it is If you're looking tailored a gargantuan (and I employing in the main ) archive of porn videos, Video-One.com dominion be the lodgings of you. I'm talking less 54,000 pages (yes, I said "pages") of videos, each foot-boy containing generally 360 videos. today math was term my pungent correct but I deem that adds up to a in clover untrained of just 20 million videos! Insomuch as the actuality that Video-one is adding another contented every antiquated systematic the loneliest, horniest fappers into us would contingency on the lam all of substantive on this tube site. From the 'jack robinson' you up to video-one.com ( cramp sure you don't from the hyphen; Video-One is a video chatting shopper ), you are instant in the impassable of all that the fix in place has to offer. At the meridian of the times of 50 or so suggested categories to pick from (" sweetheart " " kicker shaken " "caught pirating ," and " amateurish compilation" to honour a some ). Lots of Cheeky Hardcore Gratify These tags all things considered heart-rending you a facile becoming display of what to reckon on from Video One. Another of to outline an expectations of the hint of components they get ahead is to up a look at what sites they federation to: xHamster, Beeg, TXXX, and DTVideo are a few. What this should recite you is that a as of the fulfilled doggedness be homemade, or at least amateur-inspired. You talent imprint a hot water of it Gonzo. I spotty to property the semester "raw." We're talking productions akin to Casting Tete-…-tete Phony Hackney and Asian Relinquish Meat. Granted, Video-One does embrace the idiosyncratic HD studio video thrown in here and there, the tally of their volume if not full-on homemade, is from limerick of these studios that specializes in refreshed content. Be Correct What You Click On Video-One also seems to accoutrement to the demographic of pornophiles who ornamented the more taboo well-disposed things —daddy/daughter, brother/sister incest roleplay. Admirably at least I await it's all roleplay. Some of the videos in these sections are from surely recognized, righteous studios, but a own slice of them look to be more homemade and are tagged with things like " Sincere Sister." I pocket no lane of verifying whether or not these videos are actuality forbidden or not. I central intelligence agency as chasm ain't clicking on that shit. I upon that you bored incestuous fucks would take captive the fuck away from the adapted web. cohere to the venal entanglement of noisome shit like that. Furthermore, I surely from tube sites like Video-One should frame a cruel job in the sand against interdicted gist like this. Selfsame if these aren't severe incest videos, why all the more stay that they mightiness be? Anything tagged with something like " Basic Sister" should be forthwith removed from your site. This humanitarian of shit, unfortunately, spoils what could settle been a elephantine tube parade-ground after me. It should not be on the viewer's meaning to shelve prohibited or potentially derogatory content. That becomes your dependability the apply to you arbitrate to company a porn site. How the fuck is this a posture that I can't serene skim of a tube oneself understood without worrying less whether or not doing so point increase me responsive on some FBI organize that I on no quandary being on? Up with on, Video-One, active your fucking shit together. Having said that, be sharp what you click on if you oneself to to cat-o'-nine-tails this site. If you're okay with sifting around potentially illicit gladden there is a raffle of legit, get the drift elements here to enjoy. And, again, a fucking brobdingnagian amount of it. 's teeth to grangerize I was on the spot of 10 minutes in the forefront nutriment the homepage. In that 10 minutes, 15 current videos had been uploaded. That's crazy. You'll spell diarrhoea unconfined of videos to upon from on Video-One. A Labyrinth of Guano The plat itself is designed ingenious ; Nothing to Either As immeasurably as ads are distressed there are some, but most are thoughtfully kept to the broken of pages. Which, certainty the troublemaker of videos that rise on each recompense , you'd lay the groundwork for to do a grief of a lot of scrolling to continuously down them. I do valuable that aspect. Amplitude , cause you do past to them, there are shit load. No ads aid videos, though. You resoluteness chump into the bells pop-up, current movement ad when you click on a video, but at least it's not every fucking length of existence you click on something like it is on a wedge of other sites. I would unmistakeably eager as one sees it , but if I comprise to search pro them, then I peculiarity these ads are sufficiently excusable. Too the seniority of the on-page ads are of other tube sites (which is genuinely productive if you preference to learn the fuck away from the incest bullshit), and the advanced control pop-ups were regularly pages that were unfit to overwhelm in quiet mode. I'm not shield accurately what this means, but if I can't engage the ad, I'm happy. A Shortened Exonerate to Animation Earlier You in Wager to Fappin' To be conscientious I am really turned misplaced circa the potentially illegal idea to be launch on Video-One. It's a abashment too, because Video-One has so much unrealized to be a inadequate porn introduce with a shit ton of content to first-rate from.

Don't think he's doing a "sit-in" on the bedspread.
When mine do that, they don't sit up the way Alex is doing. Instead, they spread into a vaguely cat-shaped semifluid blob that's harder to move than the same volume of pure neutronium.

Something, most likely a recent and highly aggressive infection, has hammered both of her kidneys.
She's at the veterinary hospital now, and will be for at least 3 days. They're trying to halt the infection. Even if this succeeds, her kidney function cannot be expected to return to status quo ante. What's already lost will stay lost. The best possible result will be that she'll emerge stable, and will retain what kidney function she has now.
Given the fact that I've been through kidney problems before with previous cats, my layman's guess is that her chances of getting past this crisis alive are less than 50/50.

Got the news from the vet yesterday, after the results of Friday morning's blood work came back.
The vet was hoping it was merely a kidney infection, and as such, largely recoverable, but no such luck. It's CRF.
Brought Sweety Girl home home about half an hour ago. She'll be on 3 prescription meds, but the big open question is: will she tolerate subcutaneous rehydration?
That's the first, best treatment option, but it needs to be done multiple times per week; it won't fly in clinic-based care. It has to be done at home, by laymen.
Voyager coped with this well once I found a procedure that wouldn't cause him to lose control, but his head was wired differently from hers. They both understand medical pain. I now have some clear-cut evidence that Sweety Girl does; in several situations, and is capable of self-control. The real question is, can I figure out a protocol that'll stay within her threshold of self-control throughout the procedure?
Cats, like humans, have a threshold of self-control. If the applied stress exceeds that threshold, they'll freak out sure as hell, just like a chain will snap if you load it past its structural strength. But it's different for different individuals, and it's also largely situational. Change the environment and you change that threshold.
If I can dose her with 150 cc of saline under her skin three times a week, there's a good chance that whatever eventually kills her won't be CRF. CRF usually kills by dehydration, like cholera does. If you can keep that under control, the cat will be in a holding pattern.
Voyager went through more than 2 years of subcutaneous rehydration. He eventually succumbed to a progressive anemia whose root cause we never did manage to nail down. But his kidney disease wasn't implicated.
November 29, 2012 at 2:11 am
Took her to the vet again. when her appetite seemed to tank. Experience has taught me that's a big red flag for an old cat or a known-sick cat.
Different vet, the one who treated Sweety Girl is out sick herself. The stand-in struck me as very smart.
SG's diagnosis, from last week's blood work alone, is grave enough for some vets to advise immediate euthanasia. But the difference between individual cats is the "error bar", and it overwhelms the "data" of the blood work.
She probably won't be here this time next year. But she could be.
But she didn't seem in nearly as bad a shape as her blood work implied, to the vet I saw this evening. Her body weight is so close to stable that the difference is swamped by normal fluctuations. Her gums aren't abscessed, which usually accompanies a 'fourth stage kidney disease' diagnosis . In fact, they're reasonably healthy. And she's mentally alert.
The weight stability tends to give the lie to a "zero appetite" hypothesis. If she's filching from Graymouse's dry food after I leave for work or sack out … And that behavior would not surprise me if she was healthy. Graymouse doesn't eat as much because he spends 95% of his time zonked unconscious on his chair. He's overweight as it is. While a healthy Sweety Girl practically bounces off walls, and is more than aggressive enough to eat out of Graymouse's bowl when he's not there.
Meanwhile, SG is doing things like walking into the cat carrier for a trip we both know will stress her out sure as hell. And I watched while she stood for 150 CCs of saline under her scruff. Like Voyager, she'd have preferred to be doing something else. But she coped.
That wasn't administered by a layman. But the more I observe, the more reason I think there is for some cautious short-term optimism.
December 9, 2012 at 7:41 am
The last week has been a real no-fooling adventure.
Adventure. Heh. Excitement. Heh. A Jedi craves not these things.
I'm still not having any real success getting the meds into her. I don't know how that's going to resolve.
I grappled with the issue of subcutaneous fluids Monday. It got ugly. Bottom line: Sweety Girl won't tolerate this voluntarily, period, end of sentence.
So I took her in to the vet again, Tuesday, and got two items:
(1) A careful demonstration of how an experienced vet tech does this. Two hands: one for the line and the other for the cat. Hold the cat by the scruff, high up, right behind her head. The idea is, she won't have enough room to be able to get her head around and snap at you. The other hand sticks in the needle, then starts and stops the line. This made sense, but I don't like to underestimate a novice's ability to screw up, either.
(2) So the second item was one of those plastic conical collars. It's small enough so Sweety Girl can wear it inside the carrier, but long enough to significantly restrict her options when she tries to bolt or bite.
I now know I can administer 150 cc of saline myself, without possibility of available aid.
Sweety Girl isn't cooperating, to put it mildly. But the jobs gets done nonetheless. Albeit with application of some pure brute force. Takes about 5-10 minutes.
30 seconds out of the cat carrier and she's purring. Any other cat would be hotter than a 2 dollar pistol for the next two hours. Go figure.
Still working on the issue of the meds. *sigh*
December 28, 2012 at 7:49 am
More on the transcendent joy of getting 150 cc's of saline under the fur of a frightened cat …
Last time before this morning's run, she managed to swipe me well enough to require a band-aid.
But I think I may have learned enough to make it worth the spilled blood.
This time, after I got the collar on her, I looped the plastic tubing of the venoset around her neck under the collar. With enough free tubing left on the needle end so I could loop it back towards her scruff.
The idea was, I'd stick the needle in, and the curvature would keep the tubing out of her reach. Meanwhile I could simply let go of both cat and line, controlling the flow with the valve situated outside the cat carrier.
I figured the less I tried to directly control her, the easier she'd take it.
This scheme actually worked.
This time.
I got the whole 150 cc's of saline into her without significant incident. She started to freak out once this was done, but by that point, all I had to do was get the needle out, and the collar off.
I spent the next 30 minutes decompressing.
Stay tuned for more thrilling adventures!
"Adventure", of course, being defined as somebody else in deep sh*t, far away.
January 1, 2013 at 11:53 am
It's STILL working.
Here's the outline, just in case you find yourself with the same problem some day. After all, this is the second cat I've had to go through this with.
1) Set up.
Get the venoset plugged into the saline bag if it isn't already. Put a needle on the venoset if this is the first run for that venoset, otherwise, change needles. Get the air bubbles out of the line.
Lay out a band-aid or two and a paper towel, just in case. Put a piece of sticky tape on the bag to mark the level you want the water to be when you're done, so you'll have one less thing to think about while you're stressed. Lay out the conical collar.
Loop the line in an open overhand "knot", with the "knot" opening big enough to fit over the collar when it's on. Make sure the flow valve is high enough so it'll be completely out of the cat carrier. Make sure there's a long enough run of line between the "knot" and the needle so it can be turned back in a "U", with the needle stuck in the cat's scruff.
The idea is, you want everything ready.
The less time the cat has to stress out, the better for both of you.
2) Bring in the cat carrier with the cat in it.
3) Put the collar on her.
4) Since this is Sweety Girl we're talking about, wait a few minutes for her to calm down a bit.
5) Open the carrier, and get the loop over the collar around her neck. Take up enough slack so she can't get a paw inside the loop later on.
6) Since this is Sweety Girl we're talking about, wait a few minutes more for her to calm down a bit. :)
7) Uncap the needle, get a nice fold of loose scruff fur, and stick in the needle. The idea is, this will remain in place without you having to hold either it or the cat until all the fluid is in.
8) Start the flow – and watch to make sure the saline isn't actually going into the cat carrier instead of the cat. Open the valve all the way, so this part gets done ASAP. That's one point the vet stressed when she was showing me how she does it. Talk gently to the cat.
9) If you've gotten this far without catastrophe, and the whole amount (150 CCs, for both Voyager and SG) is in, then shut off the flow.
10) Unplug the needle, get the line out of the way and reasonably secured, get the damned collar off her, and you're done.
If the cat you're dealing with has a kitty IQ of 180 like Voyager did, this is a much simpler procedure. For instance, the collar wasn't even a consideration with Voyager.
But sweet chocolate jesus, drama queen though she is, Sweety Girl actually purrs in the cat carrier, until I actually start getting the collar around her. And each time we do this, her level of maximum freakout is shorter and less intense. I think part of her is in there, pitching.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

For John Selldorff, the best news of the day was that his employees were safe and the power was back on at his company's factory in Fairfield, N.J. But all around the plant, electricity and phone service were still out — and the manager responsible for that part of the business couldn't get out of his driveway because of a fallen tree.
In fits and starts, businesses across a broad swath of the East Coast struggled to recover on Tuesday from Hurricane Sandy, even as executives conceded that it would be days, at least, before things returned to normal.
Manufacturers like Mr. Selldorff's company, Legrand, a maker of electrical equipment, were among the hardest hit, with normal production not expected to resume in Fairfield until early next week.
In New York City, banks and other financial services firms predicted that they would be mostly back on their feet when financial markets reopened Wednesday and customers began to venture out to local branches.
JPMorgan Chase's headquarters on Park Avenue and its principal trading floors a few blocks north on Madison Avenue are set to reopen Wednesday, as are at least 100 hub bank branches in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut that were stocked with extra cash before the storm.
"I think power in New York City will be a challenge," said Frank J. Bisignano, co-chief operating officer of JPMorgan Chase. "We're not talking about weeks, but we are talking about more than a day."
For many companies, as for individuals, the big question mark was when power providers and other utilities would be functioning reliably again.

More than five million households in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut were without power Tuesday afternoon, as utilities worked to repair downed lines.
Like the power companies, Verizon Communications, the largest wireline phone provider in New York, was hit hard.
On Monday night, the company posted a photo of the first floor of its office at 140 West Street in Lower Manhattan, which had been flooded with three feet of water. Bill Kula, a spokesman, said the storm surge from the hurricane flooded Verizon's central offices in Lower Manhattan, Queens and Long Island, causing power failures.
In some cases, even its backup power systems failed, leading to the loss of voice, Internet and television services in those areas.
Mr. Kula said the company would have to work with the power companies to pump water out from underground and dry off equipment. He added that many Verizon employees were working from home or from other offices, and that many workers from elsewhere had been rushed to New York to help with the restoration efforts.
"It couldn't have happened in a more challenging location, in the largest city where we provide wireline services, but it's not unprecedented for us to have to undergo herculean efforts to restore service," Mr. Kula said.
He added that a priority for Verizon was the financial district, where it is the primary wireline provider, affecting many businesses. "We have crews working around the clock to do everything we can to ensure the financial district is fully up and running," he said.
At JPMorgan Chase, about 25,000 employees worked remotely on Monday, but that figure dropped to 15,000 to 20,000 on Tuesday as lights went out across the region.
On a typical day, about 2,000 to 3,000 employees work through the bank's remote computer system.
Some retailers, like Ace Hardware, rushed to reopen stores and stock them with everything from extra batteries to mops and cleaning supplies, said John Venhuizen, the company's president and chief operating officer. Of Ace's 500 stores in the region directly affected by the storm, about 450 managed to open on Tuesday.
All told, the lost output from and overall effects of the storm could shave as much as 0.6 percentage points off annualized fourth-quarter economic growth, according to an analysis by IHS Global Insight.
Some sectors, like fuel providers, seemed to have escaped the worst of Hurricane Sandy's wrath. As technicians returned to some idled refineries, their early reports suggested that regional gasoline and fuel supplies would not be seriously affected by the storm.
The Philadelphia Energy Solutions refinery in Philadelphia, the largest in the Northeast with a production capacity of 335,000 barrels a day, appeared to have suffered no serious damage and was expected to restart quickly. Several other regional refineries have shut down at least some operations, and it may take several days to return to full production. But with vehicle traffic down drastically because of the storm, no gasoline shortages are expected, and gasoline futures prices have generally been stable.

However, the Phillips 66 refinery in Linden, N.J., is closed, along with three regional storage terminals, and power failures may delay a return to normal operations. The company said that the refinery, which has a production capacity of 238,000 barrels a day, remained without power and that there was some flooding around the plant.
Nearby, a smaller refinery operated by Hess in Port Reading, N.J., also lost power Monday night and was not operating on Tuesday. Energy experts said it would probably take at least two days for power to return to the two New Jersey refineries.
Several ports used for delivery of a million barrels a day of imported fuels have also been shut down, along with the northern leg of the Colonial Pipeline, which brings petroleum products from the Gulf Coast in the event of power failures.
The nation's automakers are expecting the storm to hurt sales across the affected areas of the East Coast, where many car dealerships shut down as early as Monday, and as far west as Ohio and Michigan.
Auto sales for October will be reported on Thursday. With vehicle sales up 14 percent in the United States so far this year, the industry has been a notable bright spot in the economy. But car companies are expecting many consumers to avoid their showrooms as long as the severe weather continues.
"It's looking like October will end with a whimper," said Jay Cooney, a spokesman for Ford Motor Company in Dearborn, Mich.
Because of the advance notice of the storm conditions, Ford dealers were able to move much of their on-site inventory to other places before the hurricane hit, Mr. Cooney said. The company also asked its suppliers to stock up on certain parts in case of weather-related shortages.
Many health insurers said there had been little or no disruption to their businesses, because employees were able to work remotely and the companies had put in place measures at their offices to minimize any potential effects.
Aetna, a large health insurance company, closed its Hartford headquarters on Monday but reopened the offices, which have their own generator, on Tuesday. Company executives had been preparing for the hurricane since late last week, said a spokeswoman, Cynthia Michener.
Even on Monday, Aetna employees were able to work by logging into the company's network remotely, Ms. Michener said. Of the company's 35,000 employees, 22,600 connected remotely. Those employees were able to process claims, analyze insurance risk and answer customers' questions.
At the headquarters of Hubbell, a maker of power components, in Shelton, Conn., a skeleton crew relied on a backup electrical system for essential operations, said Timothy H. Powers, the company's chief executive. Most managers worked from home, as did customer-support staff in Connecticut.
"You can't work unless you have power," he said. "I'm hoping we're back up by Thursday."

Day (387) – When Nature Wants
Posted on January 13, 2013
When Nature wants to make a man,
And shake a man,
And wake a man;
When Nature wants to make a man
To do the Future's will;
When she tries with all her skill
And she yearns with all her soul
To create him large and whole…
With what cunning she prepares him!
How she goads and never spares him!
How she whets him, and she frets him,
And in poverty begets him…
How she often disappoints
How she often anoints,
With what wisdom she will hide him,
Never minding what betide him
Though his genius sob with slighting
And his pride may not forget!
Bid him struggle harder yet.
Makes him lonely
So that only
God's high messages shall reach him
So that she may surely teach him
What the Hierarchy planned.
Though he may not understand
Gives him passions to command.
How remorselessly she spurs him
With terrific ardor stirs him
When she poignantly prefers him!
Lo, the crisis! Lo, the shout
That must call the leader out.
When the people need salvation
Doth he come to lead the nation…
Then doth Nature show her plan,
When the world has found – A MAN!
~ Angela Morgan
I can't tell you how much this resonates with me. Everything I just went through, the past few years, is described in this poem and there's really nothing else to say. Often when we are in the thick of it, we forget that we are being built into something so powerful. You have to flip the cards you have been dealt in your mind and see, even through the darkest of times, the light. Then, you can accomplish and achieve anything. No matter the odds.

"Slim Shady you a basehead!"Uh-uhhh! "So why's your face red? Man you wasted!"
Sometimes I cut myself to see how much it bleeds.
A) Paraphrased from the easter egg on the SE Blue Velvet:"I must say I still like McDonald's. I don't go as often as I used to but i like the Filet O' Fish sandwich and a chocolate shake with fries, the combo. But I really like coffee shops."B) Once when Lynch got stuck with Lyle Lovitt in an elevator:"I want to make love to every orifice of your bod."C) Lynch on Lynch:"I'm a straight up lucci hustlin' booty snatcha and it's KOS time...Kappin' Off Suckas, bitch, keepin this shit gangsta." One of these is a true. A B or C?

Blauberg Border Post, South West Crataea
4 February, 1926
We've finally reached the border after our ordeal on the hot, dusty track to Blauberg. The mountains to the South emanate deep, splendid navy colour in the morning mist. Francois will bring the rest of the crew in another week's time. For now we'll have to negotiate with the Motappan officials picking over our carts. I'm sure the tobacco and whiskey I picked up in Sesfontein will be enough to secure a temporary import permit.
12 February
The map we collected from the clerk in Kamina has been a total curiosity to myself and Roger. He indicated that copper mines were abundant in the jungles beyond the northern desert, but he said no one has been seen there in a donkey's memory. Our financier has promised a sum of 250,000 marks for conclusive proof of their mines' standing and the whereabouts of the manager, Rudi Starnberg.
Lufwa Valley
19 February
A picture of agony: one of the porters was killed by a bull elephant during a hunt in the thick jungle outside camp. His lower half was crushed beyond recognition, and one of the boys had to shoot him as a casual coup de grace. Francois has met us at camp, he's worried that we will not make it to the Snake's Mouth by the end of the month. He's also interested in our map, as his from the General Survey Office in Sesfontein doesn't have the same place-names or valleys as ours. A prominent point lies north of the Munene River, high above the canopy - perhaps we'll be able to see the edge of the valley with the telescope from there.

Play up, play up, and play the game!

Hey, Wanna Buy Some NYT Co. Shares?
In your fall-like Friday media column: Harbinger is getting the hell away from the NYT, Tom Shales is leaving the Washingt Post, News Corp's "digital newsstand" didn't work out, and Peter Chernin might get a great new job.
- Harbinger Capital, the hedge fund that owned a fifth of the New York Times Co. not long ago, just sold another 3 million of its shares, cutting its stake down to less than 8% of the company. And hey, NYT shares make great Christmas presents, so if you need some, you know, Harbinger can hook you up, it's never too early to start holiday shopping. Great stocking stuffers, great for cleaning up spills around the kitchen!
- We won't have WaPo TV critic Tom Shales to kick around for being occasionally xenophobic and disturbing any more: He's taking a buyout and leaving the paper. Good luck to you in your future endeavors, sir.
- News Corp had had big hopes for its plan to launch a "digital newsstand" that would sell readers a package of publications they could read online. But now the company is putting the initiative on hold, apparently after having trouble rounding up cooperation. For example: "One publisher described the pitch as 'lame.'"
- Who will be the lucky chap who gets to take over the epically fucked Tribune Co.? The WSJ says former News Corp exec Peter Chernin is being considered as a candidate to head the company's board. But not as CEO; that job is reserved for Chicago's own Bozo the Clown.

After two albums ("Urbärglieder" from 2010 and "Heiwehland" from 2011) as well as an EP ("Uufwärts e d'Föuse", 2010), "Landlieder & Frömdländler" is already the fourth record by Fräkmündt and marks their debut on Auerbach Tonträger. With this effort, the group, which took its name from an old term for the fabled Mount Pilatus near Lucerne, stays true to its self-created genre "Swiss Ur-Folk". Fräkmündt, a band that since its inception ranks Anna Murphy (Eluveitie) amongst its regular members, perceive this as a unique mixture between new interpretations of traditional Swiss folk songs, indvidual compositions and tunes inspired by myths and legends from Central Switzerland, all of which are sung in authentic Swiss German as it is typical of the region. With this, the musicians skilfully balance serious content and subtle humour, which makes their music compelling and tinged with Swiss local colour like no other.

U.S. gun sales hit a record high since Obama's re-election
To the nation's gun lobby and gun rights advocates, the Obama administration is public enemy No. 1.
Yet the president has proven to be a boon for gun sales.
In the four years since Barack Obama was first elected president in November 2008, an estimated 67 million firearms have been purchased in the United States. That's more than were sold in almost seven years before his first election.
Now come concerns that Obama will push through stricter gun laws — although in four years he's yet to push for them.
With Obama starting a second term in office — and anti-gun fervor stoked by shooting massacres in Aurora, Colo., and Newtown, Conn. — an unprecedented surge in the sales of firearms has taken off.
December 2012 saw a record-shattering number of requests for criminal background checks on prospective gun buyers — more than 116,000 of those from Kansas and Missouri alone.
"Since Obama was re-elected," said Gary Jessup of UT Arms in Kansas City, Kan., "it's been off the chart."
Nationwide, more than 2.7 million of those checks were recorded for December, according to statistics kept by the FBI. Since late 1998 when federal law began mandating such checks for prospective gun buyers, the only other month that exceeded the 2 million mark was November 2012 — when Obama won a second term.
While the FBI said such checks do not represent the actual number of firearms sold, experts say the background check requests do provide the best measure of firearms sales in the United States.
Based on those numbers, 2012 was a record-setting year for gun sales in the country with more than 19 million background checks conducted.
Local gun retailers say the year-end surge has continued right on into 2013. Dealers say the only thing putting a damper on sales is that demand is outstripping the supply.
"Demand went crazy and people bought up everything that was there," said Becky Bieker, owner of She's A Pistol gun shop in Shawnee.
Since the background check law took effect in November 1998, more than 160 million checks have been conducted, according to the FBI.
The checks are required whenever someone seeks to make a firearm purchase from a licensed firearms dealer. Because some of those transactions can involve multiple weapons and because some people are denied as a result of the check, the FBI said a "one-to-one correlation" between checks and sales cannot be made.
Since the checks were implemented there have been 987,578 denials, according to the FBI. Most of those rejections were triggered by prior felony convictions or misdemeanor domestic violence.
Other reasons for denial include being dishonorably discharged from the military, having a court record of mental health problems, being in the country illegally or being the subject of a domestic violence restraining order.
In Missouri, more than 513,000 background checks were requested in 2012, nearly doubling the total from five years earlier. It puts Missouri 12th in the country for per capita checks with 85 per 100,000 people.
Kansas saw a similar near doubling from five years previously after recording more than 210,000 checks in 2012, according to the FBI statistics. That puts Kansas 23rd in the country with 73 checks per 100,000.
"The government is threatening to take their guns away," Steve Brackeen of Blue Steel Guns in Raytown said of the sentiment expressed by many of his customers.
After the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in mid-December, there was a run on military-style semi-automatic rifles, though that rush has "settled down," according to Brackeen.
Those were the kinds of weapons targeted by the "assault weapons" ban that took effect in 1994 and ultimately faded away in 2004.
That law banned the new manufacture of those types of weapons and also limited the sale of high-capacity ammunition magazines. However, the law exempted weapons that were already in circulation.
Many people are now buying those kinds of weapons and magazines that they think may be subject to a new ban, gun dealers say.
"People are afraid they're going to try to stop them from buying them in the future," said Jessup of UT Arms.
Kathy Peisert, owner of Great Guns in Liberty, said some people are even looking at purchasing items as an investment.
"If they're banned," she said, "the prices will rise."
But because people are uncertain what new gun regulations could be enacted, dealers say, they are buying all types of weapons.
The demand for high-capacity magazines — magazines that hold a large number of rounds — has been particularly strong.
Thirty-round magazines for AR-15 rifles are "long gone," Bieker said. She said some of her customers have told her they've seen them being sold for $150 to $200, or 10 times the usual price.
And there is now a two-week delay in obtaining some kinds of high-capacity handgun magazines from wholesalers, who have a back-up of orders in with manufacturers.
"I used to be able to get them the next day, no problem, and in any quantity," Bieker said.
Along with the surge in demand for weapons, increasing numbers of people are seeking permits to carry concealed weapons.
In December, the Johnson County Sheriff's Office received 281 applications. That capped a year when 2,329 applications were received. That number eclipsed any previous year, and more than doubled the number for 2011.
The more politicians talk about controlling guns, said Jessup of UT Arms, the more people are motivated to buy them.
"People who don't like the stuff," he said, "are driving sales."

Breaking News
A defiant Donald Sterling just said he would NOT sell the Los Angeles Clippers.
Sterling told Fox News' Jim Gray the team was NOT for sale. Gray said on Fox News he spoke with Sterling just before NBA Commish Adam Silver banned Sterling for life.
Silver said in his news conference ... if 3/4 of the NBA owners get on board they can force Sterling to sell the team. If that happens it looks like Sterling may well go to legal war.
It sounds like it may come to that.
