Retro Revival Retrospective: The Simpsons Part 3
By Bob Mackey May 06, 2009 8:56AM PSTTags: Game Boy The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants (PC) Simpsons: Bart vs. The Space Mutants (NES) The Simpsons: Bart vs. The Space Mutants (GEN) Bart Simpson's Escape from Camp Deadly (GB)
Retro Revival Retrospective is a confusingly-named ongoing series
about the history behind newly-resurrected gaming franchises. The
subject this time around is The Simpsons and its various video game
adaptations over the past 20 years. Did these games embiggen the
reputations of their respective developers, or were they completely
lacking in cromulence? Hint: it's mostly the second one.
We've been doing our share of celebrating the Game Boy at 1UP lately, but it's important to remember that Nintendo's little portable saw its share of crap over the years. Handheld systems have always been notorious for libraries chock-full of quickly and cheaply produced licensed titles, and this trend unsurprisingly started in the early days of the Game Boy. This third installement of the Simpsons Retro Revival Retrospective should provide ample proof as to why even one of the greatest televisions shows of all time wasn't spared from the curse of lousy licensed portable games.
Bart Simpson's Escape from Camp Deadly
Acclaim | 1991
The first portable Simpsons game is a little better than the series' first console game, though not by much. Camp Deadly drops the limited adventure elements of Bart Vs. the Space Mutants in exchange for some much simpler platforming with vastly improved controls--Bart's surprisingly nimble for a pudgy ten year-old. The simple jumping and shooting is nothing to write home about, but Camp Deadly would have at least been a semi-competent early Game Boy game if not for the interminable waves of enemies it constantly throws at you. Here was see a common problem with Game Boy titles: the developers were clearly designing Camp Deadly with a big-screen mindset. Enemies teleport in from the edge of the screen and, given how little space there is to actually maneuver, you sometimes have less than a second to react. Perhaps the only memorable fact about this game is that The Simpsons episode "Kamp Krusty" shared a lot of similarities with Camp Deadly's plot (escaping from an evil summer camp), though this show didn't air until more than a year after the game's release. That's kinda sad, because Mr. Black makes for a much more convincing video game villain than "Ironfist Burns."
The Simpsons: Bart vs. The Juggernauts
Acclaim | 1992
A Game Boy game that combines both The Simpsons and American Gladiators? You couldn't get any more 90s unless cordless phones were somehow involved. Juggernauts strays away from the Simpsons platforming tradition to deliver a collection of mini-games fit for the small screen and inspired by the game show that briefly put giant, steel hamster balls back in style. Some of the events--out of seven total--are actually pretty entertaining; Dr. Marvin Monroe's Hop, Skip and Fry, where Bart has to hop from tile to tile as they suddenly shift from safe to electrified, could actually be updated for a more fleshed-out XBox Live Arcade game. But the fighting-based mini-games throw a wrench in the works by leaving too much entirely up to chance and the limited controls of the Game Boy--though this may be one of the few instances in gaming history where you can make a small child beat up a fully-grown alcoholic. In what may be one of its few saving graces, Juggernauts unexpectedly captures a little of the Simpsons' written humor with its post-game commentary by Kent Brockman and Dr. Marvin Monroe. I wasn't exactly crying with laughter, but I actually got a few chuckles out of Monroe's psychobabble overanalysis of Bart's performance.
Itchy and Scratchy in Miniature Golf Madness
Acclaim | 1993
A good rule of thumb for video game development is that miniature golf is always a viable option if you can't figure out what to do with a property--it worked (or didn't work) for King of the Hill, anyway. That being said, Miniature Golf Madness is an excellent example of this rule in action. And by excellent, I mean [please insert the sound of weeping here]. The game mixes platforming action with putt-putt, and the two diiffering styles mesh just as well as you'd think. Aside from the profile view of the action, MGM has the fundamental mechanics of most golf games, except the Itchy and Scratchy license means you also have to fend off the attacks of a murderous mouse while you try to get under par. Being constantly stalked while you play golf is an interesting idea, but it isn't necessarily a fun one; having to smack Itchy out of the way before every shot is just an annoying distraction. Though, with a little tweaking, I could easily see how the mechanics of Miniature Golf Madness could be applied to a Resident Evil 3: Nemesis take on the "sport." A hulking super-zombie intent to chase and kill could at least make televised golf games more interesting.
The Simpsons: Bart and the Beanstalk
Acclaim | 1994
There's not much that separates the basic gameplay of Bart and the Beanstalk from Camp Deadly, though the former is much more annoying. To be honest, the premise isn't doing Beanstalk any favors; even in those simpler days of 15 years ago, Jack and the Beanstalk wasn't exactly a hot property. Outside of a funky walk cycle from Bart, the game actually looks pretty nice--for some reason the Game Boy Simpsons games were always graphically superior to the NES ones--but that's about all the praise it deserves. Even more so than Camp Deadly, the screen of Beanstalk is awfully cramped, so the problem of enemies appearing out of nowhere to kill you has only gotten worse. Add in an completely-ineffective weapon, and you've got yourself the perfect recipe for a ruined Christmas; I'm not sure where Bart's getting his slingshots, but I'd prefer a projectile weapon with the range of more than just a few feet.
Closing note to sticklers: I didn't cover the Game Boy version of Krusty's Fun House because I plan on devoting an entire installment of the RRR to this game alone. Oh, and The Simpsons: Night of the Living Treehouse of Horror was left out of this post because it's a Game Boy Color game. But all things Simpsons will be covered in due time.
Next time: I attempt to track down, play, and write about the mostly-unknown Bart Simpson's House of Weirdness for the PC.

Escape from Camp DeadlyPosted: May 06, 2009 12:00AM PST by Warlock82
I owned this one, as well as Juggernaughts (the later of which I hated with a passion.. I think I beat it.. once... the game was just way too unforgiving). I actually did like Camp Deadly. It wasn't great, and I think this article does a good job of covering it's faults. But in a sea of somewhat lousy classic GB titles at the time, it was a fun diversion.
The fun part of the game was learning all its tricks. There were a lot of "hey, let's screw the player" moments, particularly with the cramped screen space as mentioned. But once you figured those out, it was kind of fun to "conquer" them. The game was a little short once you figure out how to avoid all the "screw the player" traps, but it was hard enough that it was satisfying to beat.
As far as the licence goes, I recall the game being pretty much a throw-away for actual references to the show. Some of the campers *might* have been modeled after characters - I think one of the bosses was Nelson? It's been awhile. I know your life meter was filled by Chocolates. Which was funny, because if you worked it right, you could use the constantly spawning enemies to build up your life meter quite large. As I recall, your weapons were usually food or random things like that (sometimes Lisa would show up to give you stuff). I think after each level there was something akin to mandatory camp events, like going to the Mess Hall for some horrible Lunch item (i.e. broccoli, tofu burgers, etc), or maybe one involving sports (my memory is fuzzy there), and you'd pick up the food and use it as a weapon. It was odd :)
Damn...Posted: May 06, 2009 12:00AM PST by San_Andreas
...I owned (and still have) Escape from Camp Deadly and Bart vs. The Juggernauts. Simpsonmania was huge back then, and these games were my surrogates for the Simpsons arcade game that I REALLY wanted, but was never brought to the SNES or Genesis.
Nelson was the secondary boss (after Burns) but the little bosses were definitely modelled after his cronies, Jimbo, Kearney, and Dolph.
Escape from Camp Deadly even had low-sampled, scratchy voice samples from both Bart and Lisa - not bad for the Game Boy.
My favorite events in Juggernauts were the Kwik-E-Mart Doggie Dodge and the Krustyland Hammer Slammer. I hated the Dr. Marvin Monroe event. It was tedious, and was in every level. I figured out how to score big in the Lance Murdoch event.

Ought-to-be Octagon
Building a circular turret from stone or other masonry material is fairly easy, but most homes in the United States have a wooden frame of 2-by-4s or 2-by-6s. To create truly circular walls with this type of construction is very complicated. There's a compromise approach that works well: Design and build the turret as if it were an octagon, except where it connects to the walls and roof of the house.

Hormone Melatonin & Type 2 Diabetes May Be Linked
By Serena Gordon
HealthDay Reporter
TUESDAY, April 2 (HealthDay News) -- Decreased levels of the hormone melatonin may be linked to the development of type 2 diabetes, according to new research.
A study of U.S. women found that those with the lowest levels of melatonin had more than twice the risk of type 2 diabetes compared to women with the highest levels of the hormone. This association held true even after the researchers controlled for other risk factors for type 2 diabetes, such as body weight and dietary habits.
But whether too little melatonin actually causes type 2 diabetes isn't clear. "We found an association between melatonin and type 2 diabetes; what we haven't got from this study is causality," said study lead author Dr. Ciaran McMullan, a research fellow at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. "That's the next step of research."
The findings shouldn't change clinical management. "There's no evidence that taking melatonin will improve someone's chances of avoiding diabetes," McMullan said.
Results of the study, which was funded by the National Institutes of Health, appear in the April 3 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Melatonin is a hormone most commonly linked to sleep and the body's biological clock. The production of melatonin peaks about three to five hours after you fall asleep in the dark, and almost no melatonin is produced during the day, according to background information in the study. Sleep disruptions can affect melatonin production, as can exposure to more or less daylight, McMullan said.
People with type 2 diabetes, by far the more common form of diabetes, don't make enough insulin or use it properly. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert sugar (glucose) from foods into energy.
Melatonin receptors are found throughout the body, including in the islet cells of the pancreas, which produce insulin. This connection suggests melatonin may also play a role in glucose metabolism, according to the study.
McMullan and his colleagues reviewed data from the U.S. Nurses' Health Study. The researchers found 370 women who developed type 2 diabetes during the study period, from 2000 to 2012. They also selected 370 women without diabetes for comparison. Melatonin levels were obtained through urine samples.

Octopus Paul Swims Clear of Euro; Gets Tentacles on Book Deal
Paul the Octopus oracle declined to give Bloomberg News an exclusive long-term forecast for the euro's performance against the dollar.
From his tank at the Sealife aquarium in Oberhausen, Germany, the eight-legged sage accurately foretold the result of all the German team's matches in the World Cup soccer tournament by choosing between two mussels in separate containers marked with the relevant flag. He went on to predict, correctly, that Spain would beat the Netherlands in the final.
Now, Paul is reaping the rewards -- and resting on his underwater laurels when it comes to prophecies.
"If he tipped the dollar or the euro, there could be an economic crisis," Oliver Walenciak, the biologist in charge of displays at Sealife, said over coffee on a balcony at the aquarium. "For us, it was always just fun. But there were people who really believed him and bet accordingly, and made a lot of money. So it's better if he steers clear of financial markets."
Paul's tank is adorned with the flags of World Cup countries and, inside, a replica trophy recalls his successes. Sealife staff report an increase in Spanish visitors grateful for Paul's accurate predictions, and a stream of Asians fascinated by his psychic skills. The Spanish town of Carballino even sent a delegation to present Paul with a bronze statue.
Unfazed by Fame
Paul seems unfazed by fame. When a hand bearing a long silver fish appeared at the top of his tank, he uncoiled a few probing tentacles and sidled up the glass for breakfast, changing color to a dark brown from a sandy beige as he moved.
"Luca, look, that's Paul!" Marcus Meyer, a father visiting Sealife from Hamburg, called out to his young son. "Germany lost because of him."
Paul laps up the crowds and attention, Walenciak said.
"Whenever there are cameras, he comes out and presses himself against the glass," he said.
The requests keep coming. Paul has a book deal, a movie contract and a series of endorsements, including advertising for the German supermarket chain Rewe Handelsgruppe AG. He is now a "multimillion brand," according to talent agent Chris Davis, whose Worcester- and London-based company Chris Davis Management Ltd. is representing Paul.
Paul's publishing debut will be an interactive book, produced by Riva Verlag in Munich, that allows readers to ask the oracle what the future holds for them, Davis said.
Greek Turtles
"Will I fall in love? Will I make money? That kind of thing," he explained in a phone call. There will also be a fluffy toy Paul with similar fortune-telling capacities, Davis said. Paul's earnings will go to help turtles at a sanctuary in Zakynthos, Greece, he said.
A Russian sports-betting entrepreneur even offered 100,000 euros ($132,000) for Paul, Davis said. "We said no," he said. "He came back and offered 300,000 -- we said no again."
Davis took a more business-like approach when asked whether Paul would be available for currency forecasts.
"Bloomberg would have to write a very large check to the turtle sanctuary in Greece," he chuckled.
Walenciak has fended off a stream of other proposals.
"One reporter asked me to ask Paul whether his wife was being unfaithful to him," he said. "From Australia, someone asked whether he would predict the outcome of the elections."
Poached Polpo
Yet Paul has his detractors as well as supporters. Some German fans threatened to boil, roast, fry or poach him into polpo after the team's defeat. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused the West of attempting to "manipulate people's minds through superstition, an octopus, fortune-telling and such things."
A sign by Paul's tank describes him as "octopus vulgaris," or "common octopus," though it also points out that he is anything but common.
"Paul has not only nine brains and three hearts, he also managed to predict the German games during the football World Cup in 2010!" it proclaims.
Octopuses do have talents that other related creatures such as slugs and snails lack. They can unscrew lids, find their way through labyrinths, and tests have even shown that they can learn by observation -- something most mammals are incapable of. They are also playful, said Walenciak.
"If they get bored, they start chewing themselves and die early," he said. "So you give them tasks, like trying to get food out of jars with lids, which they usually master very quickly. They also play games which are the equivalent of humans throwing a ball against the wall."
Octopus Intelligence
In a test in Naples, an octopus learned to choose a red ball instead of a white one by watching another octopus doing the exercise first. Walenciak said humans don't understand octopus intelligence because we are too different.
"Octopuses have a radically different environment and different challenges," he said. "It's often said that octopuses are as clever as a two-year-old child, or as a rat, but it's a completely different kind of intelligence.
"We don't know, for example, how they orientate themselves, but octopuses can go foraging for food in one direction and come home via a short cut."
So no one knows what Paul is thinking now. Perhaps he is mulling the random nature of celebrity. Or he's simply waiting for his next fish.
Or, just maybe, he's already weighing Germany's prospects for the European Championship in 2012.

Can you add an option to switch back to the old one?
Can you add an option to switch back to the old one?
You can replace this code:
next.hide().css({ 'z-index': 100 });
current.css({ 'z-index': 99 });
next.fadeIn( 1200, 'swing', function() {
} );
With this code:
current.fadeOut('fast', function(){
at the end of the js file.
I had a lot of people complain about the old transition, but you are the first to say anything about the new one. In a future release I intend to make it easier to customize the transitions.
Thank you very much
I'm would like to know if I can make the slides... slide.
In other words, I would like the transitions to not fade in and out, but to slide off to the side while the other one slides in.
Please let me know if this is possible.
Thanks for the plug!
Currently that requires knowledge of jQuery and is a feature that will be in a future version. I don't want to provide any code I haven't tested and once I have it working to my taste, I will actually release the new transition in the next version.
This topic has been closed to new replies.

I have a Virtual PC/VMWare machine that runs Windows Server 2003. This virtual machine uses an IPSec VPN client program to connect to a remote network. I configured the virtual machine to have 2 NICs:
- NAT - to be used by the VPN Client to access the remote network
- Host only - to be able to access the virtual machine from the host
The reason I have this setup is because I want to be able to access some remote network from the host machine. I could've installed the VPN client on the host machine, but the host runs Windows 7 and the client doesn't support it.
The problem: although the virtual machine is normally reachable (ping + http access), as soon as the VPN client is started, neither of the NIC addresses are reachable anymore.
I'm wondering if it is a routing problem that needs to be addressed? How do routing/VPN client connection affect the ability of the server to respond to client requests from the host?

It was found that subtotal removal of the arterial supply of the liver in the dog was possible by means of multiple stage operations, a procedure which was fatal when carried out at one sitting.
The liver, lungs and placenta may be set apart from the other organs of the body since they receive blood of two different compositions, based on the oxygen and the carbon dioxide content. The relative contributions of the hepatic artery and the portal vein to the circulation of the liver, as well as the total flow of blood through the liver, have been estimated. The total amount of blood flowing through the liver per gram of liver per minute has been found by various investigators to be from 0.43 to 0.7 cc.,1 from 0.46 to 1.12 cc.,2 0.25 cc.,3 0.84 cc.,4 from 0.63 to 1.44 cc.,5 and 0.75 cc.6

Brevard passes Ecusta project
Published: Tuesday, February 3, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 2, 2009 at 11:21 p.m.
BREVARD A last-minute amendment to a list of conditions involving the Davidson River Village project helped seal the deal as Brevard City Council unanimously approved the project after a second reading Monday.
The amendment stated that modifications to the project will be considered major if the changes are not in general conformity with the scale, bulk, and mass of the buildings depicted on the Preliminary Master Plan and does not preserve the spirit and intent of the Preliminary Master Plan and the List of Conditions.
The language of the amendment was discussed and drawn up during a meeting between Brevard Planning Director Josh Freeman, City Attorney Michael Pratt, Mike Egan, an attorney the city hired to assist with writing the ordinance creating the Davidson River Village Development District, and Davidson River Village developers.
The language was intended to allay fears by the City Council that the final plans would end up being a dramatic departure from the preliminary master plan, said Freeman.
It was actually (the developers) idea and they put that (language) in there to gain the councils confidence and thats what won the project a unanimous vote, he said. This reinforces the planning boards authority to make it so and reassures council on matters of bulk and size.
A major issue for some council members was the diversity and nature of buildings in the projects commercial/retail sector. The big box issue was on a list of conditions that council asked the city planning department and Pratt to negotiate in order to try and guarantee that the site wont contain huge amounts of big box stores. Council members feared such stores would detract from the sites natural beauty.
Plans call for the project to be built in several phases with total build out to be completed within 20 years.
DRV developers have been working with the citys planning department for the past few months to craft plans for the 176 acres of the property at the former paper mill that is under the citys jurisdiction. A total of 1,250,000 square feet of commercial space is proposed and the residential portion of the project calls for 1,000 dwelling units. There is also a resort lodging area overlooking the Davidson River with a bikeway running alongside the river. Proposed plans call for about 50 acres of open space that will not have any buildings constructed on it.
Council members Dee Dee Perkins and Rodney Locks were concerned enough about the issue that they voted against the project on its first reading at a special called council meeting last week.
It was a different story Monday night.
This is a win-win project for Brevard and kudos go to you for your commitment to the (site) cleanup and for being willing to compromise, Perkins said in remarks to Bernie Kelly, the Renova representative who serves as the projects site manager. We are better off with this list of conditions than we were before.
Perkins added that while the former Ecusta plant is having new life breathed into it, there is a sense of loss.
We have certainly lost one of the largest pieces of land that we had for industrial development and that is a concern, she said. We would be remiss in not acknowledging that.
Councilman Mack McKeller said he agreed with Pratt that the project ordinances original language was strong enough for him, but the new language is even better.
It very clearly says you do it like what is in the pictures or youre in trouble, he said.
Kelly said he was glad the development agreement and ordinance process was completed so the project could continue.
I think everyone feels good about it, he said. In other business, the council went into a closed session to discuss a personnel matter. The city attorney declined to be specific about exactly who or what would be the topic of discussion, but the council went into a 15-minute closed session during its retreat Thursday to discuss possible litigation. The council again went into a closed session for a personnel matter later that same day, said Brevard Mayor Jimmy Harris. That closed session lasted about three hours. Harris said no action was taken after either closed session. James Kimzey, an attorney for Brevard Police Chief Dennis Wilde, attended the councils retreat, but Wilde did not.
The City Council was joined in the closed door meetings by Pratt and City Manager Joe Albright.

AbstractThis Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will demonstrate the ability of an adaptive antenna system ? a radio with an antenna that changes its radiation pattern to provide coverage where it is needed ? to automatically optimize coverage. Harsh RF environments, for example those with shifting reflective surfaces such as shipping container yards, make it hard to set up reliable communication even when there is only one radio. When several radios must work together to provide coverage in an extended area, it is extremely difficult and time-consuming to manually tailor the radiation pattern of each antenna so that every portion of the area receives adequate signal and the radios do not interfere with each other. Through a combination of innovative pattern computation algorithms and active sensor feedback, the system resulting from this project will automatically tailor coverage to meet these goals. The system will not just be able to set up the initial coverage of an area, it will also continually monitor the quality of the coverage and automatically adjust to changes in the system or the environment that may affect the quality of that coverage. The broader impact/commercial potential of this project is decreased deployment costs and substantially increased reliability. In the short run, the system will be built with a WiFi platform for use in the maritime ports market as a more reliable communication system to run their mission critical scheduling application. The deployment savings result from not only a quicker and more reliable initial setup but also from automated adjustments to coverage as environmental factors change ? including such radical changes as the failure of one radio. Because the system is agnostic to the frequency and the protocol used by the radio, it is not limited to WiFi deployments. The project will demonstrate this by creating and operating a prototype WiMAX version of the adaptive antenna system. In the long term, this adaptive antenna technology offers significant benefits to any large scale radio deployment. For example, as providers roll out the next generation of cellular, cell sizes will shrink significantly which will substantially increase the deployment cost. An adaptive antenna system offers not only the promise of reducing these costs but also adding increased connection reliability to these next generation systems.

about visiting you, i might just hold you up on that. if i show up on your territory in a few years, please don't shoot me, i've always wanted to visit America
emil, you and I can be friends
No, you have not had that right, and I speak not of you, but of my fellow americans that hold such a mindset. While it would be difficult for the US Government, or State Governments, and in most cases City Governments, to abolish all guns, we have seen an attempt here by Socialist type of politicians, to infringe upon MY RIGHTS. The previous Assault Weapons Ban was the result of un-American politicians, using lies and propoganda to influence others. The so called Assault Weapons Ban, banned MANY normal civilian firearms. Because some rifles had cosmetic features, they were included. The ban did not affect Machine Guns, but semi-automatics with magazines.
Our forefathers had and understood the need and right for citizens to hold modern weapons, on equal to the police or military. We all should be able to have machine guns, but we have seen an encroachment of our rights over the years.
The second amendement is ALL ABOUT KEEPING A GOVERNMENT IN CHECK.
It's not about hunting, or target shooting. It is about the citizens having the ability to remind the Government that ALL POWER COMES FROM THE PEOPLE.
Unless you can internalize what that means, it is hard to understand it.
This may seem revolutionary, but indeed the founders of this great nation were revelutionary. We admire their foresight, bravery and their words.
If you were to come to America, you need'nt fear being shot. By enlarge, you will find that the areas where citizens are armed and carry to be the safest areas. I would recommend avoiding those cities where guns are restricted. In those areas, the criminals are embolden, since they know they have unarmed victims.
Schools and Theaters, with their gun free mentallity seems to be the choice for the deranged.

I was going to say this earlier but got sidetracked. And tww is correct.
I hope you do not take any of what we said the wrong way. The bottom line is it is our constitutional right as Americans. It is what we believe in and what many have died for. I can promise you there is not a single person here that would not die for it. We will not go without a fight period. Not only could are armed citizens make up the biggest military in the world. But every single veteran and active duty military person in America and fighting over seas took an oath to defined this country and its constitution against ALL ENEMIES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.

Mosin, you hit the spike dead on! Id love to Like you 10 times for that but you certainly wrote the OPs report for him short and sweet like! Our Nation has never been defeated by a foreign invader although we've been beat up some in a few conflicts oversees started by Europeans and others.
No Power other than God Almighty would dare set foot on US soil as an invading force because the entire Nation would rise up and vanquish them immediately. We do not accept power from our Government, they get their power from us and we will take it all back if it is necessary to protect our Citizens.

Tears shed over this..... Do you mind if I quote this later on? For academic purposes, that is.
For me, I own firearms for several reasons. It keeps power with the people, where it should be.
I believe in a very conservative approach to economics, and to the private sectors of social issues, and a very liberal approach to government, and other political issues. I classify myself as a free-market socialist, but find my self most in agreement with the American libertarian party. I believe in (a) strong central government(s), but I also believe in having a republic, union, or preferably, a confederation, so all Americans can be members of governments in which In which they can most identify. Along with this, I believe, unfortunately, that the 2nd amendment doesn't apply to individual rights, but I digress. In America, our state governments, and federal (national) governments both make gun laws. These laws can cover anything from concealed carry of firearms (Illinois does not allow the public carry of firearms for defense), to bullet use (loading hollow points, or other expanding ammunition into guns is illegal in California) to total restriction (The city of New York, for example, does not allow the ownership of firearms at all). I, a proud Mississippian, personally believe that it is that individual state which has the right to determine ownership of firearms for non-hunting purposes. We are slowly loosing our gun rights in the U.S. and it doesn't make sense to my why. Now, let me explain my thought process.
First, safety/defense. It has been proven, time and time again, that societies WITH guns are less violent and more democratic than societies WITHOUT guns. Switzerland, where it is required by law, due to their military policies, that ALL citizens have a rifle in their household. Guess what? Switzerland is one of, if not still the least violent country in the world. When the UK banned firearms, violent crime rates became incredibly high. In the U.S, states with the most lenient gun laws are typically the least violent. Let me load a scenario for you: someone, armed with a weapon, even just with a knife, breaks into your house, with the intend to steal, and/or rape, or harm you or your given family member. Would you rather shoot, and possibly kill that (violent) person in defense, or let them do the same to your (innocent) family? Obviously, a sane person would want a gun. Unless of course, they have been sold on the false premise that the police can "protect" you. It takes ~20 minutes for police to arrive at my house, and if an individual waits that long, the given person will most likely be dead. I keep a beretta 92sb-c pistol next to my bed, it is military grade. I keep it loaded alternating with 9mm hollow points, and glaser safety slugs, to maximize damage, while minimizing damage. I would rather kill than be killed, as most would. See Mosin's post on this... It is beautiful.
Secondly, for fun. If you ever get the chance to shoot, you will understand. It is a powerful experience, and one that can become addictive. Knowing you have a tool in your hand that is powerful enough to do what it does is captivating.... It's like a drug. Wether it be shooting the small .22 at close range, just recreationally or shooting a powerful 30.06 in a competition, you will have a blast. It is hard to describe to a non-gun owner.
Art: Compare firearms to the works of Da Vinci or Van Gogh. They can be ruthless and powerful, or beautiful and precise... That is why I have guns that I don't want to shoot...., I would NEVER dream of firing off a limited edition silver plated 1911- 1 of 500 made, fit with custom sapphire grips.... While fully capable of launching the mighty .45 acp down-range, it would never happen. Guns can be both fine art, and tools of death... This is a reason they are so enthralling. Take a look at the pictures I attach below, you will see what I mean. They were sadly confiscated, and defaced in the UK firearms ban... Sickening, like burning the Mona Lisa....
Hunting.: Many like to live off of the land, like their forefathers. Hunting is a world-wide tradition, and even though I personally don't hunt, it is a sport that can't be forgotten.
Freedom: Most importantly, freedom... In any democracy, it is essential to keep the people in power. For this to be done, they must be armed. No one has said this better, than American founding father, Thomas Jefferson. I have pulled this particular compilation of quotes from John Petrie, who compiled them. Enjoy:
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
Was the government to prescribe to us our medicine and diet, our bodies would be in such keeping as our souls are now.
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." (Quoting Cesare Beccaria)
The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.
The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits.
No man has a natural right to commit aggression on the equal rights of another, and this is all from which the laws ought to restrain him.
To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father's has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association—the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.
I think myself that we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious. (Back then!)
When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty."
---Thomas Jefferson.
All in all, firearms symbolize beauty, power, liberty, democracy, freedom, security, and happiness. While there is no argument that firearms can be used for great destruction and tyranny, their great benefits in the hand of private citizens far outweigh their sad cost. To strip someone of their inherent rights to enjoy what they wish, or of their self-defense is nothing short of tyrannical. The promotion firearms is inherent to freedom- to not condone their use welcomes tyranny. While it may not be today that it happens, a society without the right to bare arms will fall; wether it be due to internal conflict, rebellion, or a totalitarian government. To protect the right to bare arms is to protect everything I, and we at firearms talk stand for: the individual- for one to express his or herself in any way that individual sees fit.
And now for the art:

I love these kind of conversations. My parents took a foreign exchange student from Germany a few years ago. She brought her family back to visit last summer. Her dad brought up gun ownership and how he did not understand why it was important. There was a murder outside of their hotel when they were in dc. I cited dc's gun laws and explained that only criminals have guns on the streets of dc. I explained all of the above points then took him into the basement to look in the safe. After a little arm twisting I got him to go to the range. He proceeded to put about 100 rounds through my ar. By the time he left not only did he appreciate the 2nd amendment, but wanted it for his country. Next time he is here I will have to work on explaining to him why I bought a V8.

i probably wouldn't be scared to go to the US either, but i wouldn't feel right knowing that everyone was potentially armed. it just heighten the risk of accidents happening
We've all heard this before, but guns don't kill people, people kill people.... Don't get your self in a situation where someone has to draw on you...

post it when its ready, Google gas a translator that while imperfect usually works pretty well.
Also keep in mind that your military has guns to protect you from potentially dangerous neighbors. We are just scaling that down from the state to the individual level.
A better question to ask than why we want to keep our guns is to ask why does the government want to take them away? The common answer is to protect the people but that shows a lack of trust in the people by the government, why should the people trust a government that doesn't the people?

They don't allow hyping of car accidents. That would make people afraid to drive. They don't hype doctor mistakes, that would make people afraid of doctors. They always point to how safe flying is. They never hype flu and common disease deaths, that would cause panick, and disrupt the economy.
So out of all these things that kill (all except flying I mentioned), kill more people than firearms, yearly.
So why is every shooting suddenly national news?... Why do those people want you to fear firearms?
Revalation on the car part.... Do you mind if I use that?

To me, giving up your gun is a sign of trust in your fellow man.
That's the point... Everyone can't be trusted.
Trust fellow man? Give up your military, police, etc.
How would that work?
No disrespect, but your country is a little bit too small for there to be any (1st world) power hungry dictator to go after Denmark, they would go after say Germany instead. EX: Hitler.

Your couples clientele is lieky to be the only demographic interested, so display acordingly.
Those interested in a behind-the-scenes look at a porn production company may find the non-sex scenes in The Skin Game more compelling than the actual fucking, which tends to be pretty pedestrian.
Not that the script offers any great insights into the jizz bizz or tells a particularly intriguing story. It's just that it has the ring of authenticity to it, which should come as no surprise, since writer/director Steve Drake is a long-time industry insider.
Unfortunately, Drake's years as an on-camera woodsman don't seem to have enhanced his orchestration of the sex sequences. Despite a top-notch cast that pairs off for five fairly spirited boy/girl couplings, little real heat, for some reason, is generated.
Among the few times it is, however, is when Chloe takes a good ol' fashioned Peter North kisser-coating at point blank range. It's pretty tough, don't ya know, to get one of those wrong.

Police: Drug busts break crack pipeline to complex
Published: Tuesday, January 4, 1994 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 4, 1994 at 12:00 a.m.
Spartanburg police arrested three people on drug trafficking charges Monday, breaking up what they said was the main source of crack cocaine for one of the city's housing projects. Sgt. Richard Banks, chief of the city's Street Crime Attack Team, said officers made the arrests at 20E Northside Apartments about 1 a. m. Monday morning. Officers seized more than 100 rocks of crack cocaine, weighing nearly half an ounce, Banks said. Banks said the woman who lived in the apartment, Susan Elizabeth Stewart, 34, was directing the drug distribution operation. She was charged with trafficking crack cocaine, possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine and possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine within half a mile of a school. Police also charged Ben Franklin Fernandez, 27, of 112 George St., and Michael Holmes, 38, of 736 Wofford St., with the same three crimes. Banks said officers from the SCAT and complex teams had been watching the apartment for more than a month and had made undercover drugs buys, which they used as evidence to obtain the search warrant used Monday. He said the arrests mark a significant step in clearing drug distribution from that apartment complex. "I'm tickled to death about it," Banks said. RAID

DOVER — Dover police have arrested a Newmarket man for burglaries and thefts that occurred in July.
In a press release, police said that after a lengthy investigation they arrested Timothy Staples, 29, of 8A Pleasant Street, Newmarket, without incident Monday on Woodbury Avenue in Portsmouth. The arrest was made by Dover Police Department detectives at approximately 12:55 p.m.
Staples has been charged with the following:
■ A Class B felony for burglarizing a shed on New Rochester Road during the night of July 16, or the early morning hours of July 17. Tools were stolen during that burglary.
■ A Class B felony for burglarizing Quick to Go, a service station and convenience store at 547 Central Avenue during the night of July 16, or the early morning hours of July 17 with cash, cigarettes, tools, and lottery tickets being stolen.
■ A Class A felony for the theft of two firearms, a pistol and a shotgun, from a vehicle on Littleworth Road during the night of July 17, or the early morning hours of July 18.
Previously, Dover Police Department detectives had arrested Jamie Lanciano, 27, of Dover, in connection with the New Rochester Road and Quick to Go cases.

BannedComboItems: ComboBox with disabled items
You may have unacceptable values in a combo. For example, a product out of stock.
If you do not put unselectable items in the combo, your customers will say you: "Why can't I see raspberries in the list? I'm sure I added them to the system".
And if you put everything in the combo, they will say you "Oh, that's too much, why do I see all this useless stuff?".
This plugin for Ext.form.ComboBox grays out items you mark as unselectable:

Having a little fun in today's busy life is absolutely necessary. Some people like having fun with their friends and family members, while some prefer a little spice in their lives. In Canada, there are many guys and girls who wish to hang around have an amazing time. In today's time, it is not necessary to get into a relationship in order to have some fun. One can easily find guys or girls who share the same kind of mentality or preference. If you are in Canada and looking to hook up with women who can spice up your life, there are many ways to make it happen. Meeting Women in Canada is not at all a big deal.
The Places to Meet Women in Canada
In Canada, there are numbers of coffee shops and beer bars where women like to hang around. Nevertheless, if you just want to have fun then you have to look at some other source. Some people may say that it is comparatively harder to approach girls or women in Canada. As a matter of fact, it completely depends on your approach and the location you are trying in. It is better to try at a place where the numbers of girls or women are good enough.
On day to day basis, a lot of attractive girls and women commute into Toronto from the neighboring cities like Oakville, Brampton, Mississauga, Scarborough, and Markham. All the cities are five to ten kilometers from the city. Considering the fact that most of the women come down to Toronto for one night fun, therefore the window of opportunity is certainly quite narrow for you. For this reason, when finding women in Canada, it is better to book the hotel within or close to the city.
There are about 25 bars and clubs in Toronto, which makes the city quite popular as an entertainment hub. Most of the bars are within walking distance. It is quite easy to come across beautiful women from Thursday to Saturday, particularly during the night hours. Without any doubt, if you establish a connection with any of the women in Canada, you will not have to work hard in order to take them home. They are quite open about late night fun and even one night stand.
Throughout Canada, you would come across clubs, offering wide range of genres and music, including electro, hip hop, house, salsa, and many more. The clubs are one of the hottest places to be, if you are looking for women in Canada. Meeting Women in Canada clubs is one of the sure shot ways to make your night hotter and spicier.
The erotic massage located in Canada can really surprise you with their popularity. If you do not wish to waste time then you should probably head straight to one of the erotic massage parlors. The women masseurs know how to please a guy. Online meeting is also quite popular these days. But, it is definitely not the most reliable one.

Sternoclavicular joint
|Sternoclavicular joint
Sternoclavicular joint. Anterior view.
Sternoclavicular joint visible near center but not labeled.
|articulatio sternoclavicularis
|Anatomical terminology
The sternoclavicular joint or sternoclavicular articulation is the joint between the sternum and the clavicle. It is structurally classed as a synovial double-plane joint and functionally classed as a diarthrotic joint. It is composed of two portions separated by an articular disc of fibrocartilage. The bone areas entering into its formation are the sternal end of the clavicle, the upper and lateral part of the sternum, (the clavicular notch), and the cartilage of the first rib, visible from the outside as the suprasternal notch. The articular surface of the clavicle is much larger than that of the sternum, and is invested with a layer of cartilage, which is considerably thicker than that on the sternum.
The sternoclavicular joint allows movement of the clavicle in three planes, predominantly in the anteroposterior & vertical planes, although some rotation also occurs.A description of movement would be elevation, depression, and circumduction. Muscles don't directly act on this joint, although almost all actions of the shoulder girdle or the scapula will cause some motion at this articulation.
The unique double-hinged articular disk found at the junction of the clavicular head and manubrium allows for movement between the clavicle and the disk during elevation and depression of the scapula. This disk also allows motion between the sternum (manubrium) and itself during protraction and retraction of the scapula.[1]
- Anterior sternoclavicular ligament
- Articular capsule
- Articular disk
- Costoclavicular ligament
- Interclavicular ligament
- Posterior sternoclavicular ligament
Clinical significance[edit]
Trauma may result in sternoclavicular joint dislocation. Posterior dislocation puts the mediastinal structures at risk. Spontaneous subluxation also occurs sometimes. In SAPHO syndrome there may be arthropathy of the sternoclavicular joint. Septic arthritis may rarely affect the sternoclavicular joint.

This was a recipe I've had marked to try for over a month. Last night it was finally time to make it & I am so happy we did. The orange marmalade was the perfect compliment to the jalapenos. Everyone in the family was able to eat this dish. I just had sliced jalapenos in the jar, as that's what I keep on hand, and I used boneless, skinless breasts, so I changed the cooking method slightly. I coated both sides of the chicken breasts with the sauce (as thick as I could get it to stay on), then put them in the baking dish & covered tightly with foil. I baked for 15 minutes then removed the foil & baked for about another 6 minutes, til they were done. The final result was very tender & moist. Thanks for sharing, A.M.!
YIKES. For some reason I thought my friend gifted me with orange marmalade but it was peach. In any case, I followed the recipe as written (using peach marmalade & a serrano chili). I used 3 boneless chicken breasts and had just enough sauce to coat. I would suggest making more. Also followed *Tinkerbell* cooking method. Although the flavors are delicate, It was not as flavorful as I had hoped. I served with rice and roasted acorn squash.
We Loved This chicken!!!! Great moist chicken with excellent bold flavor. I did make a few changes. I did not have jalepeno's so I used red pepper flakes. I used boneless skinless chicken breasts and put the sauce over top. The only change I would make would be to double the amount of sauce other then that great recipe I will definitely make again.

When some text on a document is highlighted, the default browser highlight is lost as soon as there is a click on the document.
I want to keep the browser highlight on all the time just like apture http://www.apture.com/. Highlight some text, it will popup with a "Learn More" bubble, click on the "Learn More" button, it still won't lose the default browser highlight focus.
How do I do that?
I basically want to get the position of the selected text without adding a span AND keeping the browser highlight when clicked on a button.

The No. 2 in the ruling Liberal Democratic Party and possible rival of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in the party leadership race next year has expressed readiness to turn down Abe's offer to serve in his Cabinet, a senior LDP official close to the lawmaker said Saturday.
At a meeting with LDP Secretary General Shigeru Ishiba likely to be held early next week, Abe is expected to tell Ishiba of his plan to relieve him of his party post and ask him instead to become state minister in charge of security-related legislation in a Cabinet reshuffle next month.
But Ishiba has told those around him that it would be difficult to serve as state minister unless Abe accepts Ishiba's strongly held beliefs about national security policy, the official said. The secretary general is expected to convey his thoughts to Abe when they meet.
Ishiba briefly considered taking up Abe's offer, which he was sounded out on in July, but he has since changed course. "The prime minister and Mr. Ishiba have fundamentally incompatible views on security legislation," a lawmaker close to Ishiba said.
The lawmaker said that while Ishiba wants a fundamental law on national security enacted speedily that would allow exercising the right to collective self-defense in a comprehensive manner, Abe has suggested he plans to postpone doing so.
The Abe government approved a reinterpretation of the country's pacifist Constitution in July to pave the way for using force in aiding an ally under attack even if Japan itself is not directly attacked, with plans to introduce a series of bills to parliament to effect the change in defense policy.
On Saturday, fellow LDP lawmaker Kenji Kosaka, who is close to Ishiba, expressed concern over a possible discrepancy between Ishiba's own ideas and what he would have to say as a minister in charge of security-related legislation.
If Ishiba took up Abe's offer, it "could become a factor inhibiting the promotion of his own ideas" in the future, Kosaka told a program on the TBS network.
A majority of lawmakers who support Ishiba are of the view that the former defense minister should continue to serve as party secretary general, a post second only to Abe, who is party president.
Some even say Ishiba should remain without a role in the party leadership and prepare for the presidential race in September next year if Abe strips him of the secretary general post.
Ishiba was reportedly noncommittal when Abe sounded him out about taking up the Cabinet post when they met in July. Ishiba later conveyed to Abe through an intermediary that he was open to any job if offered formally, but those close to Ishiba were trying to talk him out of it if Abe was going to replace him as secretary general, according to party lawmakers.
