SmartNet coverage?
Unanswered Question
User Badges:
Hello folks -
Does anyone know if the Cisco SmartNet on a switch covers the GBIC's/SFP's? I gave Cisco the serial numbers of all the switches, but not sure if a SFP/GBIC goes bad, will Cisco replace it for free?
Thanks for your help!
I have this problem too.

[MEXICO] Mexico has a new coach, its third in five days, and Victor Manuel Vucetich is ready for the biggest challenge of his career.
The 58-year-old Vucetich, who led Monterrey to Concacaf Champions League titles in 2011, 2012 and 2013 before being fired August, replaced Luis Fernando Tena, who lasted one game as interim coach.
Tena had replaced Jose Manuel de la
Torre after Mexico's 2-1 loss to Honduras on Friday night, but he couldn't do any better as El Tri lost to the USA 2-0 on Tuesday in Columbus, Ohio.
Vucetich was offered the
national team coaching job in 2010 but turned it down for personal reasons. He was in Columbus working for Mexican television and reportedly met with Mexican federation officials about the national
team coaching job.
Vucetich earned the nickname "Rey Midas" for turning around the clubs he's coached. He won Mexican league titles at Leon, UAG and Pachuca in addition to Monterrey in a
coaching career that has seen him coach at 10 Mexican clubs.
Vucetich, who coached former U.S. stars Tab Ramos at Tigres and Eric Wynalda at Leon, faces by his own admission the biggest test of his career.
"For me, this is a personal
challenge and something that I'm missing as a coach," Vucetich said on Thursday. "And even though it's a critical situation, soccer has given a lot to me and this is a moment that I can also give back
from what it has given me. Yes it's the most important challenge of my career, without a doubt."
Mexico sits in fifth place in the Hexagonal, behind Panama on goals scored, with games to
play against the Canaleros in Mexico City and at Costa Rica.
"Hopefully, this hot potato turns into a gold potato," he said. "But I consider that what we have to do is to work. And not
commit errors. We have no margin for error."

Who doesn't like a nice trip to the zoo? Paulina Gretzky is certainly a fan, as she recently hit up the zoo with Kings forward Jarret Stoll, whom she's dating, and her little brother. Gretzky, daughter of the great Wayne Gretzky, tweeted the news, and then proceeded to post some photos of the trio's day out on her Instagram account. Gretzky, of course, is always active on the social media scene, and you never know where she'll end up next. In many ways, she's a female Waldo -- you know, except that she's substantially better looking, dresses normal and isn't really known to hide amongst a crowd of thousands near the Egyptian pyramids. Other than that, though, yup, she's Waldo. Gretzky has really been turning heads lately because of her affiliation with the 2012 Stanley Cup champion Kings. Her father captained the team during his playing days, and now she's dating Stoll, who had the privilege of hoisting Lord Stanley this June. But forget the Cup. Nothing compares to feeding gir...

Ewan McGregor Given Honorary Title by Queen Elizabeth II
Posted Saturday December 29, 2012 1:01 PM GMT
Paying tribute to the finest names in the UK for 2012, Queen Elizabeth II announced the recipients of the New Year Honors list on Saturday (December 29).
Along with numerous London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic athletes, Ewan McGregor earned accolades from the British monarch.
The "Impossible" star, and fashion designer Stella McCartney, received an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) honor.
This year's list is mostly British athletes, with a record-setting 123 awards, compared to 44 last time around. Of those on this year's list, 78 were related in some way to either the Olympics or Paralympics.

In my late 30s, two kids, a 16 yr old and 6 yr old. Been wanting this procedure for years! Just can't get rid of the sagging skin. I thought I had taken care of last minute things but seems never ending. I need to be at hospital by 6am. Honestly don't think I will be able to sleep.
My day was spent seeing the doctor and registering at the hospital. I was not happy when the PS told me I'd be wearing the drains for nearly 12 days! No showers! How are we supossed to feel clean or wash our hair! lol. I need more than a sponge bath!

Dissolved C02 Threatens the Collapse of Marine Ecosystems: Can Pico Fight Back?
Increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide pose a hazard to marine life, world wide. Counter-intuitive and obscure as this may sound, the popular press recently has shown an interest in scientific research on the topic. All that is needed to create a media spat over this climate-related issue is for a new crowd of Think Tank "experts" to emerge, which is sure to happen in short order. So prepare yourself. And, if you don't have chemistry background, you might want to try a simple experiment. It's hyperbole. But it gets the principle across. Get two calcium supplement tablets: the kind made of compressed calcium carbonate from limestone or oyster shells. Put them in individual water glasses. Cover one tablet with plain water and one with seltzer (carbonated) water. Striking isn't it? Now dilute the seltzer water 10 to 1 and repeat the experiment. The bubbles that continue evolving from the tablet, even when the carbonic acid is diluted, mean that dissolved carbon dioxide is accelerating breakdown of the tablet.
Fortunately, dissolution of carbonate skeletons of existing organisms is not an issue...at least not yet. The apparent problem is that the normal life processes of several important marine organisms are being disrupted by an acidic water environment that has not been found in earth's oceans for hundreds of thousands of years. The acidity is attributed to abnormal atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations.
The most striking and accessible coverage of the new consensus report on this issue, from National Science Foundation, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, is found here, in a "Science Now" article .
We also suggest a look at the executive summary of the full report, which is found here.
There is a paradox to this issue. Marine plankton and coral, through normal metabolic processes, sequester dissolved carbon dioxide, forming carbonate minerals that slowly fall to the bottom of the ocean. In this manner, limestone (like your calcium pill) was formed in ocean sediments over millions of years. When dissolved carbon dioxide becomes too high (and pH too low), however, normal metabolic processes of these organisms are affected adversely, leading to the scientists' concern that plankton productivity would be reduced. By further increasing acidification, we risk locking this negative feedback loop into full open position, after which climate change would be accelerated, proportionate to the reduction of the ocean's carbon-sink function. This function is significant, and the surface area of the ocean is much greater than that of tropical forests that also sequester carbon.
Conversely, if plankton growth is stimulated before an ecosystem crash occurs, the C02 "sink" capacity of the ocean would be increased, and carbon dioxide acidification stabilized or reversed. Just such an approach has been proposed as a serious venture over the deepwater zones of the world's oceans. TreeHugger has posted about it here and here.

I know you didn't ask, but technically the SE Sport seats are the same as the SEL and Ti base cloth seats with slightly different upholstery and color schemes.
Only the base S and SE had a slightly different seat with a much less agressive bolster in 2012. Besides the SEL is a rarer car than the SE sport package.
The seats are decently bolstered, they actually look quite agressive, they feel nice. I have yet to take any long journey as a driver yet, having ridden with my brother in his car to Cedar Point many many times this year. Its a little bit firm at times, but I get out of the car at the other end of the journey no worse for wear.
I actually have a long road trip coming up this weekend, 500+ mile round trip, and I'm looking forward to actually driving this time.
Its been awhile since I've had the opportunity to take such a road trip, the last really long trip involved driving for more than 18 hrs through a snow storm and missing the hotel by not arriving until 4 in the morning due to the weather.
I had to sleep a few hours in that car and then drive to Chicago from a starting point somewhere near Phoenix, AZ the previous day.

Believe it or not, Republican State Senator Dan Hall's most stinging criticism of Minnesota public education in the video above is not when he claims
"I watched Minneapolis get destroyed, so I not only didn't want my kids in the school system. I took them out of Minneapolis because they ruined our neighborhoods with integration and [de]segregation."Mr. Hall made his argument for segregation last Thursday (and right in time for April 4!) in support of H.F. No. 934, also known as the K-12 omnibus bill. Later that day, it passed in a party-line vote in the Minnesota State Senate. As reported by the Minnesota Independent, that bill "would take funding from integration and desegregation programs in the Twin Cities and Duluth and shift them to statewide programs for literacy. [It] also repeals the unfunded portions of Minnesota law dealing with desegregation." In short, it aims to address the racial achievement gap in the state's schools by rewarding schools for improving literacy and taking away money for desegregation.
Perhaps Mr. Hall's personal experience led him to believe that literacy is more urgent than desegregation -- that the two are somehow in competition. Perhaps his constituents are asking him to vote this way. However, that's not the argument he makes, nor the people whose support he cites. He cites his "best friends," who Mr. Hall claims are "minority."
"They think integration is foolish. It's a ploy, it's to get more money....It's disrespectful to tell my friends, my minority friends, they can't make it without extra special help."These "minority" best friends are merely the fulcrum of Mr. Hall's rhetorical argument, one that uses the vocabulary of opposing affirmative action to oppose integration. What's next? Lunch counters? Water fountains?
Still, even that wasn't the strongest shot taken by Mr. Hall at public education in Minnesota. That comes right at the beginning:
"I am a product of the Minneapolis school system, completely, all of my years, many of the different schools. I graduated with a sixth-grade reading ability. I struggled my whole life."Even if there are problems with reading levels in Minnesota's public schools stretching back to Mr. Hall's era, even if the funds for the Republican initiative must be taken from integration programs (and they don't have to be), was it necessary to scapegoat integration in this way? Must one be the antagonist of the other?
When this bill reaches Governor Mark Dayton's desk, it will curious to see if he signs it into law, or asks for a new bill that truly strengthens public education without doing so at the expense of racial progress.

Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. and the game will be broadcast locally on AM 740 KVOR and televised nationally on The Mtn. The Falcons are 11-8 and 1-4 in league play after losing a heartbreaker to UNLV, 65-63 in overtime, on Saturday, while New Mexico is 17-4 and 3-2 after defeating TCU, 71-54, on Saturday in Albuquerque, N.M. Air Force Nearly Downs Nationally-Ranked UNLVMichael Lyons scored 25 points and Kamryn Williams added a career-high 13 points and a team-high eight rebounds but Air Force committed six of its 17 turnovers in the overtime period and fell to #12/15 UNLV 65-63 Saturday at Clune Arena. Lyons, who made a career-high six 3-pointers and scored the most points in one game since notching a career-high 31 against Colorado on Nov. 23, was 9-of-19 from the field, had five rebounds, three assists and three steals Saturday. Up NextThe Falcons wrap up the first half of the Mountain West schedule on Saturday, Feb. 4 against the Colorado State Rams in Fort Collins, Colo., beginning at 3 p.m. Largest Margin of Victory in MW Road Game Since '06Air Force's 15-point victory over Boise State on Jan. 14 was the largest in a conference road game during the Jeff Reynolds era, surpassing a 10-point win (56-46) at TCU during Reynolds' first season in 2007-08. Saturday's victory was also the largest by the Falcons since defeating the Horned Frogs, 63-45, in Fort Worth on Feb. 15, 2006 and just the sixth conference road win in Reynolds' five seasons at Air Force. He won three his first season (2007-08) and two last season. All Eight Losses to Winning TeamsThe eight teams that have beaten the Falcons this season have a combined record of 128-41 (.757 winning percentage) this season and all eight currently have a winning record. Still Looking For Second-Ever Win Against Ranked TeamAir Force is now 1-74 against ranked teams in program history. The lone victory came on Feb. 15, 1992, a 75-72 win over 21st-ranked UTEP at Clune Arena. Falcons Win Inaugural All-Military ClassicAir Force opened its 2011-12 season Nov. 11-12 with a pair of victories at the First Annual All-Military Classic. The Falcons used a second-half rally to defeat service-academy rival Army, 87-71, in the first round, then downed VMI, 75-65, in the championship game.Junior guard Michael Lyons was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player after averaging 22 points and eight rebounds, while fellow junior Todd Fletcher was named to the all-tournament team after dishing out a career-high seven assists in each game.This was the first of a four-year contract for the All-Miltary Classic, with each school hosting once. Citadel will host in 2012, VMI in '13 and Army in '14. The tournament will be played each year during Veteran's Day weekend. Air Force Captures Third Place at Cable Car ClassicAir Force defeated Eastern Michigan, 42-37, in the consolation game of the Cable Car Classic. Todd Fletcher scored a career-high 18 points and freshman Colt Barnhill posted career-highs of five points and five rebounds. Freshman Kamryn Williams also pulled down a career-best five boards. The Falcons used a 17-5 run to open the second half to build a 35-25 lead with 7:52 remaining and never led by less than three points the rest of the way. Air Force held EMU to just 1-of-14 shooting from three-point range. Fletcher was named to the all-tournament team. Third-Fewest Points Ever in a VictoryAir Force's 42 points against Eastern Michigan on Dec. 30 were the third-fewest in a victory in school history and the fewest since a 39-36 win over Cornell on Dec. 29, 1981. The school record for fewest points in a victory is a 30-19 win over Regis on Dec. 12, 1978. Still a Great Record at CluneIncluding their 9-3 record this season, the Falcons have been hard to beat at Clune Arena the last eight seasons. Since the beginning of the 2003-04 season, Air Force has won 104 of its 137 home games, good for a .759 winning percentage. In addition, the Falcons have won 40 of their 66 Mountain West games at Clune during that same stretch (.606 pct). Fletcher 22nd Player to Reach 200 AssistsWith his two assists against Texas-Pan American on Jan. 9, junior Todd Fletcher became the 22nd player in school history to dish out 200 career assists. The school began keeping assists as a season total in 1972. He his currently ranked 17th on the school's career list with 215 assists. Mountain West / Missouri Valley ChallengeThe 2011-12 edition of the MWC/MVC Challenge was the third in a four-year agreement between the Mountain West and Missouri Valley Conferences. Eight Challenge games were played this year, with each conference winning four games. Illinois State and Southern Illinois were the two Valley teams that did not participate in the 2011-12 Challenge Series. Below are the 2011-12 MW/MVC Challenge results: Date ResultNov. 30 Creighton 85, San Diego State 83Dec. 3 Drake 62, Air Force 60Dec. 3 Boise State 74, Indiana State 65Dec. 3 Northern Iowa 83, Colorado State 77Dec. 3 New Mexico 76, Missouri State 60Dec. 3 TCU 70, Evansville 68 (ot)Dec. 3 Wyoming 66, Bradley 49Dec. 4 Wichita State 89, UNLV 70 Broekhuis, Williams Each Pick Up First Career Double-DoubleJunior Taylor Broekhuis played arguably the best game of his career in the championship game of the All-Military Classic on Nov. 12 against VMI. The 6-10 center from Colorado Springs scored 18 points, one shy of his career high, and pulled down a career-best 12 rebounds to post the first double-double of his career. His 12 rebounds were the most by a Falcon in one game since Jacob Burtschi hauled down 12 at Stanford on Nov. 15, 2006. Broekhuis collected his second career double-double on Jan. 14 at Boise State with 15 points and 10 boards.Kamryn Williams posted his first career double-double on Jan. 9 against Texas-Pan American with 11 points and a career-high 10 rebounds, including seven on the offensive end. His seven offensive rebounds were the most by a Falcon in one game since Burtschi had seven vs. IPFW on Dec. 31, 2005. Most Assists in Over a DecadeAir Force recorded 25 assists in the season-opener against Army, the most in one game by an AFA team since dishing out 25 against Long Beach State on Nov. 21, 2000. The Falcons added 20 assists the next day against VMI.Individually, junior Todd Fletcher had a career-high seven assists in each of his first two games and is No. 8 in the Mountain West with 3.11 per game. Carter Ties School Record for Steals in First Career GameFive freshmen saw action for Air Force during the opening weekend, but none had a better start than Chris Carter. The 6-3 guard from Port St. Lucie, Fla., had nine points, seven rebounds and seven steals in his first career game against Army. His seven steals tied the school record for one game and were the most by a Falcon since Tim Anderson, the 2007-08 Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year, had seven against San Diego State at the Mountain West Tournament on March 13, 2008. Falcons Playing Solid "D" This SeasonAir Force's defense has been very strong lately. After allowing an average of 62.2 points per game their first five games, the Falcons have allowed just 56.0 points per game their last 14. Air Force has not allowed more than 65 points in the last nine games. Opponents are shooting just 39.1 percent from the field and 30.4 percent from 3-point range this season and Wyoming is the only team to shoot at least 50 percent from the field against the Falcons this season. Fitzgerald No. 5 on AFA's Career 3-Point Percentage ListJunior Mike Fitzgerald attempted his 150th career 3-pointer on Jan. 3 against Johnson & Wales, making him eligible for Air Force's career list for three-point percentage. Fitzgerald is shooting 40.5 percent (71-for-176) for his career, placing him No. 5 on the list behind Matt McCraw (46.5%), Dan Nwaelele (45.1%), Andrew Henke (42.0%) and Tom Fow (41.8%). Lyons in Search of 1,000 PointsJunior Michael Lyons is on track to become the 23rd player in Air Force history to reach the 1,000-point plateau. Lyons, who has appeared in 75 career games, has 829 career points and is 39th on the school's career scoring list. The last Falcon to join the 1,000-point club was Matt McCraw in 2007. The last junior to join the club was Otis Jones in 1994. 60 Points Seems to be the KeyAir Force is 9-5 this season when it scores 60 points or more and 2-3 when scoring less than 60. The two wins were against Wright State (55-34) and Eastern Michigan (42-37).Defensively speaking, the Falcons are 8-2 when allowing less than 60 points and 3-6 when allowing 60 or more.

I hadn't had a chance to run my car since it was finished last thursday, so a buddy of mine gave me my first run.
I have a full JDM v.8 WRX STI swap into my 02 WRX with the following mods:
MRT midpipe back 3"
Blitz SUS
My friend was driving his C5 Vette with just an intake (supposed to make 10+ whp)
Were driving around town and we come up to an open stretch of road, at this point were going around 35mph, im in 3rd at this point. We look at eachother and decide to see how much better the new engine is. I drop to 2nd as did he, and my rpms were around 3500.
We wait a second and then go. I got the initial jump putting his front bumper at my rear bumper. I shift to 3rd and he makes up some ground, I then shift to 4th and my front bumper is near his rear, then we shut down.
I feel it would have been neck and neck had I had more experience with the 6spd. He shifts a lot faster then I do at the moment because im still getting used to the 6spd, so I was shifting rather slow which allowed him to make up ground in between shifts.
Im very pleased with the results though, much better then I anticipated, he didn't expect it either .
This confirms my thoughts on the JDM STI being faster then the USDM STI. Heres my reasoning.
I have a friend with an M3, another with a USDM STI, and the other with the C5.
The friend with the M3 raced the friend in the STI from a 3rd gear roll and the STI barely won.
The friend with the C5 raced the other friend with the M3 and walked away from him everytime with ease.
I raced the friend with the C5 and was practically neck and neck with him.
So up next will be a race with the friend with the USDM STI, to settle it. All the drivers are good, so there was no driver error in any of these races, also the M3 only has an exhaust(5-8whp) and the C5 has an intake(8-10 whp) the USDM STI is bone stock.

Arsène Wenger says Thierry Henry was just as effective off the pitch as he was on it during his loan spell at the Club.
Arsenal's all-time record goalscorer struck three times in seven substitute appearances, including memorable winners against Leeds and Sunderland, before returning to New York Red Bulls on Thursday.
Wenger was delighted with Henry's influential role and insists the experience and character he brought to the squad proved hugely beneficial.
"On the pitch he was great and off the pitch he was great," he told Arsenal Player.
"He always maintained hope and positive morale in the team and I would like to thank him for that and wish him well for the rest of the season.
"I am sure he will have a great season with his club because he is quite sharp and I am confident that in the United States his team will do well with him."

The Indian team is expected to reach Pakistan on January 4 and will play three Tests and five One-day Internationals besides a Twenty20 match.
Rawalpindi will be back on the international cricket scene following missing the cut for the last three years. Rawalpindi last hosted a One-day International against England and also staged a one-dayer and Test matches during the India team on its last visit here.
''The series gets under way with a three-day match to be played in Karachi and it would be followed by the first Test at the same venue. The Test series will be followed by the limited overs series,'' an official of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said.
India will also play a Twenty20 match during their 50-day stay in Pakistan.
''The itinerary will be made public once we get clearance from the International Cricket Council (ICC),'' the official said.

This audit examined whether the road safety
camera program is effective. It assessed whether:
The road safety camera program is
effective. It is well-supported by evidence that clearly
demonstrates that cameras improve road safety and reduce road
trauma. Siting of cameras is based on road safety outcomes, not to
raise revenue. To enhance the program, aspects of it could be
further evaluated, including the effectiveness of fixed and
point-to-point cameras, and whether the current approach for
deploying mobile cameras is optimising outcomes.
The processes and controls over the camera
system provide a high level of confidence in the reliability and
accuracy of the system in measuring speed and detecting red-light
running. Greater assurance about the accuracy of mobile cameras
could be gained through independent testing under actual
conditions. Police discretionary enforcement thresholds and other
features of the program provide a high level of confidence that
infringements are valid.
Despite the strong rationale for the program and the high level
of integrity of its systems, public concern about the program
persists. This has placed its ongoing legitimacy at risk.
During the audit, the Department of Justice developed a
communication strategy to address these concerns. The Department of
Justice will evaluate this to determine whether it has been
effective in aligning public understanding with the evidence
supporting the program and its road safety benefits.

THE SuSpEnSiOn ,, I guess the biggest complaint on cars is the poor ride quality and handling. Iv'e read where guys ask about using S10 frames and are told the car will ride like a truck,, I bought suspension packages with sway bars thinking the car would ride and handle good.. It rides like a truck,, worse that the car did when it was stock with no shocks. This can't be any worse than an s10.
My IFS is TCI. I changed the front springs 3 times, I 'm using 300 lb now, 2 lighter than they recommended. One of he new shocks was shot.. I used QA shocks. I found TCI customer support to be ****. I was missing one (locking/ castle/ cotter pin holding) -washer for the axle hub. I phoned them and they said they's send, I phoned again and talked to the President, then I phoned and talked to some smart mouthed rude *****, in each time they said they send me and never did. i had a hell of a time finding a new one,,, I see they are more available now.
My rear is leaf spings from Chassis Engineering. The sway bar had fit issues. It is made for a Ford car and a Ford axle. I have a Chevy and a Chevy 10 bolt. The springs do bend to a negative arch. For some reason this just seems wrong. Why have spring that are partial bending up?? The rear suspension just pounds when hitting cracks on the hi-way. I have taken the sway bar off, I took one leaf out, I tried no shocks, I tried running my tires on low air pressure. The car just rides like CRAP.
Note on POWER STEERING, I used a power rack originally, I can tell at cruise nights who has PS by the puddles I see under the car. My rack was good for the first year. Then one winter day I was in the garage and noticed the rack had started to leak after sitting for 4 months. I installed a new rack and it blew immediately. I installed a manual rack, It's too hard to steer with my steering wheel, I have a Grant gold wood banjo steering wheel. The force needed with a manual rack quickly started making my expensive wheel fall apart. I'm using a bigger truck steering wheel. It's easier to steer but still tough, so I'm going back to a power rack.
I used the HEIDTS PS control valve to cut some of the pressure. My PS was still too touchy and i had the valve completey open. I will try something else for pressure, maybe a ford pup. I was using a newer ford rack which should be able to take the chevy pump without any changes to pressure.. I did not find this to be so.

The era of personal 3D printing is (almost) here.
Machines capable of printing 3D objects have been around for many years. But recently this fascinating technology has reached the point where the personal 3D printer has become a reality. At this year's CES, for example, MakerBot Industries and Cubify both introduced 3D printers for the everyday consumer. Cubify also introduced a cloud-based 3D printing service, where a consumer can upload 3D data, then Cubify will have it printed and delivered.
The prices of personal 3D printers are still a bit too high to appeal to the average consumer – some numbers I've seen have been in the $1,200 to $1,700 range. But the raw material used by the 3D printers, their "ink" equivalent, is surprisingly inexpensive. For example, you can purchase about 1kg of raw plastic material for little more than the cost of an ink jet printer cartridge. And as with other technologies, expect the prices of the 3D printers to continue to drop.
So what does this mean for your intellectual property?
Consider this scenario: a consumer purchases your new product, creates a 3D scan of it (or a portion of it), uploads the 3D scan data to a file-sharing website, and suddenly anyone, anywhere in the world, can print your product using the 3D scan data and their own 3D printer.
Sound far-fetched? It's not. In fact, just recently The Pirate Bay announced the creation of a new portion of their file-sharing website devoted to 3D scans, which they are calling "physibles." Are you ready if your patented product shows up in the "physibles" library?
While there may not yet be a 3D printer in every home, the day is coming, probably sooner than we imagine. So consider this: the patent application you are drafting today should be ready to protect the invention for the next 20 years, during which time 3D printing is likely to become as common as ink-jet printers are today. Take this into account while you plan your patent strategy. Are there any aspects of the invention that could be vulnerable to virtual copying? For example, are there any potential embodiments that could include transfer of 3D model data and 3D printing?
Also, think about whether it may be appropriate to seek one or more design patents for various aspects of the product. Are there important components that could be covered by a design patent?
While you're at it, remember to be careful with the scope of your design patents. Are there portions of the design that could be modified by a user, e.g., by manipulating the 3D design using CAD software, without departing from the novel aspect of your invention? If so, those portions of the design patent drawings should probably be shown in broken lines. Can your product be broken down into multiple components that may have their own novel designs? If so, you may want to consider pursuing multiple design patents.
Personal 3D printing is an exciting new technology. The potential uses for 3D printing extend beyond what I can imagine. But, unfortunately, the potential uses include activities that could infringe on other's intellectual property rights. So it's important to begin taking this potential problem into consideration when planning an IP strategy. As many of us have seen, the current rate of advancements in technology have a way of making today's possibilities into tomorrow's realities.
Have you started to consider the implications of 3D printing and how it may affect your or your client's intellectual property? If so, how has it affected your approach to obtaining IP? Let me know in the comments below!

The organisation said an increase in the stamp duty threshold to £120,000 led to numbers last seen during the property boom of 2002.
Despite renewed interest, prices stayed flat for the second month in a row and are only 0.5% higher than at the beginning of the year.
The NAEA predicted house price inflation would now rise at a more manageable rate than the sharp hikes seen during the property boom.
NAEA president Richard Hair said: 'Estate agents have certainly been a lot busier in March than in previous months with increased numbers of buyers, new applicants and instructions reported across the country.
'Buyers remain the dominant force and are discovering they often have a wide choice of properties to choose from. However, with vendors starting to include realism in their asking prices, sales are back on the up.'
However, on a year-on-year basis, the housing market is still looking glum compared to 2004. The average numbers of buyers on agents' books has dropped by 20%, reducing the ratio of buyers to houses to 5.3 compared to a high of 15 at the beginning of last year.
The number of houses on agents books has doubled over the same period, enabling buyers to negotiate larger discounts on asking prices. Hair warned: 'Despite the anticipated traditional spring surge and the expectation of a minor boost following the election upset, the housing market is in a position that leaves it potentially vulnerable to any upsets and therefore should be handled with care.'

Londoners haven't always been kind to pigeons. Children kick them. Adults employ that Woody Allen "rats with wings" slur, and freak out when they board tube trains. And when he was mayor, Ken Livingstone - aka King Newt – even banned the public from feeding the birds in Trafalgar Square, blaming their droppings for damage to Nelson's Column. No wonder there's a Gif of a pigeon nonchalantly declaring "Haters gonna hate".
We may have been unfair, though. For the least-loved member of the Columbidae family is our new recruit in the capital's fight against air pollution, an avian ally to help prevent the Airpocalypse. For the next three days 10 pigeons will fly around London, fitted with backpacks that hold sensors monitoring pollution levels. Londoners can then discover the quality of the air where they are by tweeting the @PigeonAir account on the micro-blogging site, and they'll receive immediate information.
This was all the idea of Pierre Duquesnoy, creative director at the global marketing and technology agency DigitasLBi. He entered this proposal into Powered By Tweets, a competition that Twitter launched last year in conjunction with the London Design Festival to find new ways to use the site. It was one of the winners and ended up featuring in an exhibition at Somerset House.
Duquesnoy, who grew up in Paris and then London, wanted a way to bring air quality to the public's attention. Thanks in large part to diesel fumes from cars, London has the filthiest air in the country. This pollution is a stealth killer, linked to nearly 9,500 premature deaths a year in the capital, and some seven million worldwide.
"It affects us all but we mostly ignore it," Duquesnoy says. "Most of the time the conversations about air pollution are highly scientific and it's quite hard for people like me who are not scientists to understand it all."
Currently there are 120 stations monitoring air pollution in London but they are in fixed locations. "That means there are blind spots," Duquesnoy explains. "The stations are really accurate but only for the immediate vicinity, so scientists don't have a clear idea of what is happening elsewhere. What I wondered was how we can cover some of these blind spots to try to get as much data as possible."
Duquesnoy was particularly keen to have data for rush hour, when there are not only the most vehicles on the road but lots of commuters cycling, walking and running to work. Initially, he thought about collecting this data from the ground, travelling in a car, by bicycle or by foot but decided it would take too long to traverse the city. The next suggestion was to use drones "but this is prohibited airspace and getting authorisation to fly across London — except for in the parks — is impossible". So he thought about what doesn't have its wings clipped with regards to getting about: the pigeon.
At this point, Duquesnoy approached Plume Labs, a tech firm that helps citizens track (and thus reduce) their exposure to air pollution. The two companies teamed up.
"It's one thing to create the best technology in the world but you need people to understand it," says Romain Lacombe, the founder and chief executive of Plume Labs. "What's been missing is an understandable way to access our personal exposure [to air pollution] and advice on what to do about what you're breathing, Most people don't know how much pollution changes day by day, but also hour by hour and even street by street."
Lacombe notes that when people hear about air pollution, they think of Beijing and Delhi, but in Western cities such as London it's a big problem too. "We are blind to something that is all around us, something that surrounds us every hour of the day but against which to have any protection and reduce our exposure, we have to make the air visible."
The light pigeon backpacks were sourced from a US firm. Usually they're worn by pigeons trained to fly along canyons in Utah so that walkers can have photos of their trips ready for when they return. The pollution sensors are stitched into the vests and measure the levels of nitrogen dioxide and ozone.
It takes a special kind of pigeon for this work. "These are professional pigeons," Duquesnoy says. "They're very quick racing pigeons, they can fly at 60-80 mph. They live up to 20 years, compared with a street pigeon's life expectancy of about four years. They're beautiful birds and far smarter than people think. So we're turning something that people don't like into something positive. And people have always used pigeons to communicate, but this is in a very modern way — with Twitter."

As the data is being collected, Duquesnoy hopes to "create mass awareness of the scandal that is air pollution". That's where Twitter comes in. "It's one of the best platforms to share information rapidly," he says. "We have created these three pigeon characters [Coco, Julius and Norbert] to make the subject more accessible. We have to make it serious but a bit funny, to have the right balance."
Helen Lawrence, head of creative agency development at Twitter UK, adds: "This idea is perfect for Twitter because people tweet with their location and get real-time information back. It's also fun and exciting and very different. I don't think we ever expected to use Twitter for this."
Plume's first piece of air-pollution technology was a mobile app, the Plume Air Report. "It helps people who suffer with air pollution stay ahead of how the air is going to change," Lacombe explains. "It tells you what time pollution is going to rise or fall, so you know when to do exercise or go out."
This app helped to build a community of human air-quality monitors. For three years Plume Labs has also been working with scientists to develop tiny sensors that people will carry with them to track pollution. "This is a huge challenge: how do we make it comfortable for the consumer? There's a whole host of people who are seeking to understand how much pollution they're exposed to but they'd only want a device if it's super-light, efficient and beautiful."
After the pigeon campaign, Lacombe hopes to recruit people to wear the devices and share the data they collect. But this week it's the pigeons' turn. So when you see one of our feathery friends flying above you tonight, just think: they may be helping us all breathe a little easier tomorrow.

Six of the best (and worst)! Sportsmail looks back at Lewis Hamilton's tumultuous career with McLaren as the Brit ace bids farewell
Lewis Hamilton will end his 14-year association with McLaren after this weekend's Brazilian Grand Prix. It will mark the conclusion of a sometimes turbulent six-season spell with the British outfit.
Sportsmail looks back at his six best and worst moments since he emphatically burst on to the Formula One scene back in 2007.
'Thank you, McLaren': Hamilton will join Mercedes on a three-year deal after 14 years with the British outfit
Maiden win
Canadian Grand Prix, June 2007
A star was (officially) born in Montreal back in 2007. Hamilton claimed the first pole position of his grand prix career before sealing his maiden win. Despite his tender years and limited experience, Hamilton led from start-to-finish and his performance was faultless - even with the safety car emerging on four separate occasions. It was only Hamilton's sixth grand prix, with three-times world champion Niki Lauda left 'stunned' by the British driver's performance. Hamilton became the first black driver to win a grand prix and the youngest driver ever to lead the world championship.
Maiden victory: Hamilton celebrates becoming the first black driver to win a grand prix
Japanese Grand Prix, September 2007
Hamilton had already forged a reputation as a wet-weather specialist in the junior ranks of motorsport before then delivering on the world stage in Fuji. The McLaren driver qualified on pole before mastering the miserable conditions to take the chequered flag – his fourth and final win of the campaign. Fernando Alonso, already a double world champion and Hamilton's team-mate for the season, spun in his desperate bid to catch his inexperienced McLaren colleague. It left Hamilton leading the title race by 12 points with just two races remaining.
All smiles: The British star waltzes on to the podium after clinching victory at the 2007 Japanese Grand Prix
Water performance
British Grand Prix, July 2008
Hamilton arrived at his home grand prix under huge pressure after two error-strewn races, and could manage only fourth in qualifying. But in one of the outstanding performances by a British driver in recent years, the Stevenage-born star dominated the race, mastering the changeable conditions and finishing a mammoth 70 seconds ahead of second-place Nick Heidfeld, whilst lapping the entire field up to third. Unsurprisingly, Hamilton ranks it among his greatest grand prix victories.

Finest hour
Brazilian Grand Prix, October 2008
'Is that Glock?' yelled commentator Martin Brundle. Some four years on and it still sends shiver up the spine. Hamilton sealed the 2008 world title under the most dramatic circumstances after passing Timo Glock at the last corner on the last lap of the last race of the season. Hamilton's championship rival Felipe Massa won the rain-affected grand prix, sparking wild scenes in the Ferrari garage, but their celebrations were premature. It was Hamilton who'd prevailed after he finished fifth and with it sealing the necessary quota of points to claim his first, and to date, only world championship crown.

Hungary for success
Hungarian Grand Prix, July 2009
Hamilton was left with a pig of a car to defend his world championship title and arrived at the tenth round of the 2009 season in Hungary with a fourth in Bahrain his best result. Indeed just two races earlier, the McLaren driver had finished a dismal 16th at Silverstone. It's fair to say hopes weren't high in Hungary. But a number of updates on Hamilton's McLaren tied in with the brilliance of the British driver saw him claim his first win of the season. 'It is incredibly special to get back up here, not only on the podium, but to get a win,' said Hamilton. 'It is amazing.' A second victory in Singapore saw Hamilton finish fifth in the championship.
Winner: The British star takes the chequered flag for the first time in 2009
Yanks for the memories
United States Grand Prix, November 2012
Hamilton's displays this term have arguably been his best since he won the world championship in 2008. McLaren failures have cost him the chance of battling Sebastian Vettel and Alonso for the crown, but when his car has been trouble-free, as it was in Austin last weekend, Hamilton has proven he still carries all the ability to win a second title. Hamilton kept the superior Red Bull of Vettel in his sights at the Circuit of The Americas before nailing the German with 12 laps remaining. But will it be his last victory in a McLaren car?
Shanghai Noon
Chinese Grand Prix, October 2007
After a show-stopping debut season, Hamilton arrived at the penultimate race in Shanghai with one hand on the championship. The McLaren driver led from the get go but as the heavens opened, the Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen caught and passed his title rival. Entering the pits a flustered Hamilton then slid off into the gravel, and with it blowing his chances of becoming the first driver to win a championship in his inaugural campaign. It must be noted it was Hamilton's only real mistake during a quite incredible year.

Aussie (break) rules
Australian Grand Prix, March 2009
Hamilton was disqualified from third place at the 2009 Australian Grand Prix after he was caught lieing to race stewards. Jarno Trulli was originally penalised after he passed Hamilton under safety car conditions, but it prevailed that McLaren had instructed Hamilton to let the Toyota through. The British team then shamefully tried to cover up the misdemeanour before Hamilton issued a grovelling apology claiming he was 'misled' and long-term sporting director Dave Ryan was sacked. The race marked Hamilton's first as defending champion in a season he won't remember with much fondness.
Under fire: Hamilton issued after a grovelling apology after he'd allowed Trulli through during the safety car
was the subject of vile, racist taunts ahead of what turned out to be
his finest hour at the Brazilian Grand Prix in 2008. Over 16,000 racist
messages were left on a voodoo-style website taunting the British
driver. Hamilton was referred to as a 'n*****' 'half-breed' and
'Conguito' - a chocolate sweet with racist overtones. Earlier in the
season, Hamilton was jeered at a test in Spain - the home country of
rival Fernando Alonso – where some spectators were seen wearing black
make-up and t-shirts with the slogan 'Hamilton's Family' displayed on
the front.
Shame: Hamilton was jeered by racist fans at pre-season test in Barcelona
'Don't touch me, man!'
Singapore Grand Prix, September 2011
While Sebastian Vettel took all the plaudits in 2011 after a quite-sublime set of performances, the warring duo of Hamilton and Felipe Massa were never far behind in terms of column inches. The duo clashed six times on the track, with the fractious relationship reaching boiling point at the end of the Singapore Grand Prix when Massa forcefully tugged Hamilton on the shoulder in the TV pen, leaving the McLaren driver to say, 'don't touch me, man.' It was a desperate encounter for both men, who endured equally disappointing seasons.
'It's because I'm black'
Monaco Grand Prix, May 2011
Hamilton is unlikely to look back on the 2011 campaign with much fondness and his ill-advised Ali G impression after the Monaco Grand Prix was probably the pinnacle moment of a miserable year. 'Maybe it's because I am black,' Hamilton quipped after he was penalised by the stewards for a number of clangers during the race. The punishments had nothing to do with Hamilton's ethnicity, but more his kamikaze display around the French port. Pundit Brundle summed up the general mood when he said: 'He's played a card I'd never thought he'd use.'
Stay away from the keyboard, Lewis
Belgian Grand Prix, August 2012
Hamilton's social media career reached its miserable climax after this year's Belgian Grand Prix when he issued a verbal volley at team-mate Button. 'I thought we respected one another, but clearly he (Button) doesn't,' Hamilton bemoaned after he was unreliably informed that Button had stopped 'following' him on Twitter. But it emerged that Button had never befriended Hamilton and the latter was forced into a grovelling apology. The clanger was Hamilton's final act on Twitter after he'd earlier released sensitive McLaren data to his one million followers.

Luxury home design ideas by Andrew Maynard Architects, located in Melbourne, Australia. This modern house emerging from behind its high boundary wall, and with the symmetrical roof line. The roof then responds to site setbacks which result in a distorted and subverted answer to regulations. This produces high folded internal planes, allowing double height ceilings, a mezzanine level and spacious interior.
The bold stair becomes part of the luxury kitchen, the louvres act as light control as much as privacy screening, and the boundary external wall doubles as the internal kitchen wall. This luxury home has a random tetris piece has lodged itself deep within the walls of the original building. This floating block provides the master bedroom with a en-suite reflecting its downstairs companion. The courtyard's location also provides abundant natural light and ventilation into both the terrace and extension, importantly decreasing reliance on mechanical heating and cooling systems.

UK expert queries PL's gas proposal
But Labour stands by its plan to reduce energy tariffs
A British expert specialising in gas installations yesterday called Labour's plan to build a new gas power plant in two years "very unlikely" – though not impossible.
Miles Seaman is a chemical engineer who has in the past advised Enemalta and a private Maltese company involved in the gas business.
He questioned the timeframe envisioned by the Labour Party and the wisdom of having a gas storage facility placed next to the proposed power plant.
Reacting later, the Labour Party said it stood by its plan, pointing out that Mr Seaman did not say the party's timeframes were impossible.
He had also endorsed the safety record of this kind of plant, saying he had never come across an accident throughout his long career, Labour added.
When asked by The Times whether it was realistic to expect the proposed plant and ancillary facilities to be built within two years, Mr Seaman said it all depended on the starting point: the studies needed.
In his experience, the entire process usually took at least three to four years to complete.
"Although, obviously, everything is possible, I really can't see this project coming on stream before five years," he said.
Labour has proposed to reduce electricity bills through a private investment in a new 200MW gas-fired power plant, a Liquefied Natural Gas terminal and two new storage tanks.
Mr Seaman – whose last project involved the building of a 450-kilometre gas pipeline in the Middle East – addressed a press conference yesterday at PN headquarters.
He corroborated the PN's criticism that there were not enough vessels available for charter that could deliver the relatively small amount of gas Malta would need.
Purpose-built vessels would drive up the costs.
However, he said the large, more common LNG vessels that cannot enter the port of Marsaxlokk, due to depth problems, could unload their supplies offshore, though this would again make the operation more expensive.
In his reaction on this point, Labour spokesman Konrad Mizzi said the party had spoken to a number of companies and was given different options.
One of them said it could deploy small vessels and failing this, another offered the possibility of using what is known as a dolphin to deliver the gas from offshore.
But Mr Seaman laid stress on the small size of the project and the economies of scale involved.
"We have to keep in mind that the project being proposed is of a very small scale in the industry and this comes with costs related to the economies of scale. This fact alone might push costs further for Malta."
Asked whether a gas pipeline (the option preferred by the PN) was safer than an LNG terminal, Mr Seaman said the pipeline was safer but also that "one can engineer all of these things to a similar level of safety".
The Labour Party said its project need not be at the expense of the pipeline project, adding that it would continue to seek EU funds for the latter.
However, the terminal was a quicker option that would yield savings of some €177 million a year, as well as a cleaner environment and lower tariffs.
On the other hand, the pipeline was not expected to materialise within a decade.
Dr Mizzi said Labour had spoken to EIA experts who confirmed that a study could be done in six weeks because all that was required would be an update of an existing study done for the BWSC plant in Delimara.
However, he would not name these experts, saying they were reluctant to come out in the open for fear of being blacklisted by the Government.

Feb 21, 2014 - By Kelli Ameling, Staff WriterNick Nerli said he was "shocked" when his idol read his letter on national television.
In December, the Lander Valley High School freshman class president wrote to Bill O'Reilly to express his appreciation for O'Reilly's opinions.
O'Reilly is the host of "The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News. According to his biography, he is also an author, a syndicated columnist and a political commentator.
"For quite a while, I have been intrigued by Bill O'Reilly's intelligence expressed through educational literature," Nerli said. "I felt it was necessary to e-mail Mr. O'Reilly and express my sincere thanks for affecting my life's choices through leadership."
Nerli said he had no idea O'Reilly would read his letter, let alone put it on "The O'Reilly Factor."
Nerli's e-mail was short and sweet.
"Mr. O'Reilly, I am the freshman-class president at Lander Valley High School, and I truly enjoy your books," Nerli wrote. "I have benefited from your leadership."
According to Nerli, O'Reilly's suggestions and opinions have affected Nerli's way of perceiving information, and he has found it positive to be able to use the skills while "pondering several different options."
"Through Bill O'Reilly's philosophy, I believe that I have been able to make decisions that benefit others and myself," Nerli said.
Nerli's favorite O'Reilly book is "Pinheads and Patriots: Living in the Age of Obama." He said he finds it inspirational.
"I really appreciate that, Nick," O'Reilly said on his show. "Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everybody in Lander."
Nerli said he was "honored and pleased" that O'Reilly found his e-mail encouraging.

Fixing the Compensation System
The Pirates landed Allie in the second round last year. They'll have a hard time getting a similar player in the second round this year due to all of the compensation picks.
Yesterday I brought up the fact that the compensation system for the Major League draft is a broken system. The system is intended to compensate a team like the Tampa Bay Rays for losing a player like Carl Crawford, who they drafted, developed, and relied on for eight seasons, only to see Crawford sign with the Boston Red Sox.
The problem is that the system doesn't just compensate teams for these circumstances. It also compensates teams for losing players that were barely members of the organization. Teams that lose star players can often get lower compensation picks due to the flawed ranking system used ...

One of the accused, Ibrahim Said.
Three men, introducing themselves as the Black Cobra gang, Ahmad Abdel Rohman (born 1992), Ibrahim Said (born 1991) and Hetem Sejdin (born 1989) are facing trial tomorrow for the abduction, rape and extortion of a hancidapped man in Sweden.
Mobile phones and TV's
The handicapped man was kidnapped and forced to a store where he was told to buy phones for the immigrants. This first attempt failed. Later, the immigrant gang brought him to his parents home, where they stole TV's which he was forced to carry out and give to the gang-members.
The abducted man didn't dare object to the three immigrants:
- They threatened to shoot me in the head if I escaped.
Sexual assaults
In his childhood home, he fell victim to actions which the handicapped man describes as rape. Among other things, he was forced to pull down his pants and bend over a sofa.
- It was a terribly painful, and degrading experience, said the young man in a police interview.
Later, the immigrants brought him out in another attempt to buy mobile phones. The man then managed to alert the store owners and the three immigrants were arrested shortly afterwards.

If you own a Toyota car that hasn't had to be returned to a garage for a recall over the past few years, congratulations. It may be a limited edition. Make a bumper sticker.
The fact is, to recall a million cars is unfortunate. But 25 million in under three years? That's beginning to look like a disaster. Particularly when one of them, 2009's accelerator fault, faces claims it caused fatal crashes.
Toyota's accelerator problem is one reason why enormous, global recalls are more common nowadays: carmakers need to show they have moved fast to fix mistakes. But reputations aren't repaired so speedily, and Toyota's manufacturing errors have mounted so its brand has faced a repeated battering.
Meanwhile, auto upstarts Kia and Hyundai from South Korea are snapping at its heels, with cheaper prices and longer warrantees.
All of which means that Toyota is no longer the "car in front" it once claimed to be.Reuse content

We will quote in full of the churches, to show that those who go west do not always leave their religion behind.
Maybe what she said to Pa made him go west after peppering your burglar.
It had been decided that she should go west with her father, and this was the day set for departure.
A few, but only a few, go south; two or three go west, or to right of me.
The peoples inhabiting it grow steadily more personal as we go west.
Its fall, and if we go west it may be very cold, with lots of snow soon.
Mrs. Randall has written insisting that we spend a week at Maplewood before we go west.
We'll head in the last direction they'll expect us to go—west!'
It's going to happen in September, so she can go west with me.
I've always thought Greeley's advice should have read, "go west, old man!"
19c. British idiom for "die, be killed" (popularized during World War I), "probably from thieves' slang, wherein to go west meant to go to Tyburn, hence to be hanged, though the phrase has indubitably been influenced by the setting of the sun in the west." [Partridge]
Old English west "in or toward the west," from Proto-Germanic *wes-t- (cf. Old Norse vestr, Old Frisian, Middle Dutch, Dutch west, Old High German -west, only in compounds, German west), from PIE *wes- (source of Greek hesperos, Latin vesper "evening, west"), perhaps an enlarged form of root *we- "to go down" (cf. Sanskrit avah "downward"), and thus literally "direction in which the sun sets." Cf. also High German dialectal abend "west," literally "evening."
French ouest, Spanish oeste are from English. West used in geopolitical sense from World War I (Britain, France, Italy, as opposed to Germany and Austria-Hungary); as contrast to Communist Russia (later to the Soviet bloc) it is first recorded in 1918. West Indies is recorded from 1550s.
verb phrase
To be spoiled or ruined; also, to die: valuable evidence gone west (1910+)

Sony has announced a pair of entry-level ultra-zoom standard definition HandyCam camcorders, which boast a whopping 67x extended zoom range.
While the DCR-SX21E and DCR-SR21E may look very different, the only functional difference between the two models is the presence of an in-built 80GB hard drive in the SR21E model, while the SX21E records footage onto a Memory Stick Pro Duo or an SDHC card (which is not supplied).
The standout feature of these new models is the high-power 57x optical zoom lens from Sony, which is supplemented by the Extended Zoom that boosts maximum magnification to 67x with "virtually" no visible degradation. The SX21E and SR21E both have flip-out 2.7in Clear Photo LCD screens with the on-screen menus controlled by a joystick located next to the screen. Another button next to the screen allows you to easily switch on the built-in LED video light to illuminate indoor scenes or night-time shots.
Also included are SteadyShot and Face Detection modes and, for the first time at this level, Intelligent Auto mode, which recognises up to 18 different scene combinations – from portraits and landscapes to night views. Focus, exposure, colour and other settings are then adjusted automatically for best results.
Built-in Picture Motion Browser (PMB) Portable software simplifies uploads to sites like YouTube from almost any PC. Both models feature the Direct Copy function, which means you can transfer footage directly to Sony's new 500GB HD-PG5 external hard drive without the need for a PC.
The DCR-SX21E and DCR-SR21E will both be available in mid-September and we are waiting to hear back from Sony regarding pricing for these models.

Who uses this site? I just purchased a knife here. I'm a brand new user/member of this site. Doesn't seem like there is much bidding going on tho. Maybe hunting season? Lots of stuff offered however but not as many pictures of the stuff being sold as I'd expect. Do you buy here? sell here? just curious.
I carry to protect myself and my loved ones from the BG's. Not to solve societies problems. That said: if more carried the deterrent would only have a positive overall effect on those problems.
I have bought a gun or 2 and parts over the years
I just registered myself. As long as its "NIB" I'm not too terribly worried, but I'd be hesitant about buying something sight unseen that's used. JMO - I'll let you know how it works out. I'm looking at some ARs on there...
I've bought many guns over the last few years there. One from GB just got here this morning.
Found a few deals there. Not just guns either. Sometimes one set of conversations with a seller leads to another gun other than the one on Auction. However I have ended up with a few gems. And passed on some real non deals.
I do not like their 15 minute rule I can say that.
Have also found a few deals on Guns America. Not really and auction but a decent way to connect with a gun your looking for. And some negotiation ability outside of an auction format. More of a buyer seller format.
I've bought several from GB, never had any real problems. You can find some good deals if you are willing to wait for one to come around. Just remember to add S&H into your final tally when deciding on buying, if the difference between what you can get a gun for locally and on GB is less than $50 you're probably better off buying local.

I've bought 2 used guns on GB, my son has bought 1. The guns we bought were exactly as described, in fact one of them (mod 29) was a lot better than the description.....it was closer to being new than used.
Though "caveat emptor" always should come to mind
Helpful hints on pushing back and strengthening the 2A:
I use gunbroker pretty regular. If you learn the tricks of the search feature, good deals can be found.
I dont buy from anyone who isnt established. The must have an excellent feedback rating, and I try not to buy from anyone who does not have a brick and morter store unless they have an unusal good rating.
"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
I've used them and i follow SIXTO's advice, they have to have a real store and good ratings. Only one or two exceptions
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
I've purchased several firearms (mostly handguns) through GunBroker and have never had a problem. Some of the "rules" I use for dealing there are:1. Don't bid on anything unless the seller has multiple positive feedback reports.Obviously, 2 & 3 can't apply if you notice something you just have to have and only has 30 minutes left when you find the auction, but to bid on the item, you must be willing to take the risk.
2. Make email contact before placing a bid and ask questions.
3. Get a phone number during the email contact and make phone contact before placing a bid.
4. Don't send payment to a P.O. box, only to an actual physical address.
5. If they won't accept a credit card without a surcharge or can't accept credit cards, I use only U.S. Postal money orders.

I'm looking for a certain rifle and I found one is "for sale" on there - the seller doesn't have it, he's waiting to take delivery "supposed to be in the next week" and he won't take a credit card...only personal check or money order. No way. This is a perfect example of why you should email first and ask questions before bidding.
I prefer to use gunsamerica.com for online purchases. For buying used most reputable gunshops and sellers on there give you a 3 day grace period on used guns to send it back for a refund.
To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.

My girlfriend just got a like new DPMS AR carbine. Just make sure you are doing the "buyer beware " research mentioned int he above posts to help from getting burned.
