I recently got a new computer that has Windows 7 64-bit on it. I immediately installed Civil 3d 2012 on it and it worked great. Some of our projects are in 2012 but some of them are still in 2011. So I exported the license from my old machine and tried to install Civil 3d 2011 on my new machine. I noticed that a couple SQL programs did not install because there was already a newer version on my machine. When it finished installing a tried to open it up and it acts like it is going to start ( I get the pretty Civil 3d Picture in the middle of my screen and the window pops up) but as soon at it starts it just disappears and goes right back to my desktop.
I though that maybe the problem was that I installed 2012 first so I completely uninstalled both of them and tried to reinstall just 2011 and I still have the same problem. I also tried disabling my Virus/Spyware protection software and reinstalling it. Same results.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved! by AlmasSuljevic. See the answer in context.
Hi Jeremy,
It sounds like program is not able to get license. How is your program installed? From network deployment or as stand-alone? How is your license?
Hi Jeremy,
It sounds like program is not able to get license. How is your program installed? From network deployment or as stand-alone? How is your license?
That is exactly what the problem was. I thought that I could import the license after I opened the program. Apparently you have to import the license prior to opening the program. Thanks for all the help guys....sorry for my silly mistake.
I'm glad all is well now. Have a nice weekend!
I'm having the exact same problem. I'm running AutoCAD Civil 3D on Vista 64 bit. Could you please tell me, how to fix this problem? I read your post, but I didn't quite understand what you meant by importing license and how go about it?
I'm having the same problem with C3D 2012. Your discussion does not actually contain the solution. Would you please tell me the solution to the C3D 2011 problem if it will also fix it in C3D 2012? Production is shutdown at the moment. A solution is urgenly needed!
Thank you,
Having the same issue. Completely unistalled Civil 3D 2012 and tried to transfer license over before opening. I keep getting Error Referance 201

2013 Scion FR-S Owner Reviews
- Exterior Styling
- Interior Comfort
- Performance
- Quality & Durability
It will make you smile!!!!
This is a fun car to drive. Great handling and decent pick up, though not head snapping acceleration. The styling gets lots of looks. It reminds me of all the good stuff we liked about the MGBs and TR-6s of days gone by, but with good quality throughout. Interior is basic, without a lot of junk to distract you. If you are bothered by a lot of road feel and some noise, this is not the car for you...get a Camry. Minor issues...The head rest touches the back of my head-slightly annoying but I'm used to it now. Depending on the sun angle, the fuel and temp gauges can be a little difficult to read, not a huge issue. I am constantly looking for an excuse to run to the store for milk or whatever...anything to take it out for a little spin. Not as fast as a Z car, but fast enough, and a lot less money. It needs a backup camera! I had the dealer install an aftermarket one. I really like this car!!

Canyon Explorer

Photograph by Eric Leifer
Birthplace: Anaheim, California
Current City: Hilo, Hawaii
What did you want to be when you were growing up?
Growing up I was not very creative, honestly. I had fantasies of being a firefighter, astronaut, superhero, and so on. After receiving my first miniature mountain bike I was determined to travel around the world riding my bike. I joined the Boy Scouts shortly afterwards and the idea of being an adventurer and explorer quickly took over. It was a wild dream to begin with. The rest, as they say, is history.
How did you get started in your field of work?
The summer I graduated high school changed my life. Five friends and I set out on a 35-day venture down the Green River, taking it two hundred and something miles to its confluence with the great Colorado River. By the end of that trip I was hooked on expedition-style trips. I moved shortly afterwards to Flagstaff, Arizona, in search of higher education at the university; when in reality I ended up spending far more time reading the water of the rivers, studying the shifting sands of the canyons and pondering the endless vistas of the desert than I ever did in any classroom. By the time I graduated I had honed my skills as an adventurer down to a science. I went in seeking a B.S. in environmental science and graduated with masters in desert exploration.
What inspires you to dedicate your life to exploration?
The places I have chosen to explore and photograph are so incredibly unique it still amazes me every single day of my life. There exists no other on the planet quite like them; still pristine and untouched from the effects of human influence, these are some of the last places left in the world that are not, nor will they probably ever be, significantly affected or altered by humans. Too many people believe that all has been lost, that the world is just one big ball of concrete. I feel like it is a duty, a privilege, and an incredible honor to help show that there are some places that will never change. Bringing back photographs and stories of remote and rarely seen locations returns hope and inspiration to people's hearts. If I can change just a few people's perspectives then my life has been a perfect success.
What's a normal day like for you?
Ha, this answer seems to change from week to week for me. Every day is a new opportunity, every week another adventure.
Do you have a hero?
Edward Abbey, Jane Goodall, anyone who is deeply passionate about what they believe in will always inspire me.
What has been your favorite experience in the field? The most challenging?
While exploring several technical slot canyons of Grand Canyon National Park, a few of them required the use of small, four-foot boats called pack rafts. They roll down to the size of a Therm-a-Rest sleeping pad and weigh just a few pounds. In all my days adventuring there has been nothing quite like floating down the Grand Canyon, one of the most infamous stretches of river in the world, in a boat the size of a bathtub.
Most challenging? The hike back up to the rim with all of our gear! Many trips require significant elevation gain over a short distance on no trails. Add on a 50-plus-pound pack in 100-degree heat and it can be very unpleasant. Really makes you appreciate pavement.
What are your other passions?
I do have a somewhat artistic side, I love playing music and writing. I have been picking on my guitar and blowing in a harp for about eight years. Bikes have been a passion of mine for nearly a decade as well. A huge side hobby of mine is fixing and building old, broken-down bicycles and finding them new homes.
What do you do in your free time?
Relax! Downtime and resting days are cherished.

Well, from the past 3 days, many of the uploaders of DuckLoad.com would have been in utter shock. Yes, Duckload was taken down by the FBI officials for some copyright issues. Duckload has been offline ever since 2-3 days. It has been quite surprising that hosts these days are raided by FBI in particular, hosts that are based on Germany and Switzerland. RapidShare had its fate and it is back now.
But i am afraid, that would not happen with the case of Duckload. Duckload has been taken down due to several reasons, some including, a relationship with a site called "KINO.TO" - a site that live streamed movies illegally. Kino.to admins were arrested immediately, following the arrest of Duckload admin.
We were waiting for the announcement from the admin @WJunction, wherein there was a hot discussion going on with uploaders and Duckload admin. Admin was reverently hoping for bringing Duckload back online, but in vain. Now, there came an announcement, saying that
" It looks like there will be no deal. The whole police is incapable.Well, its bad news for all uploaders and premium account holders. There is no other way for helping you guys out :( ..
Good luck guys in future, if there any news i let you know. You understand i am not able anymore to write here, i am done."
Hope that some other site would be back soon.. Like Duckload

John Deere included in its K Series backhoe loaders 70-hp EP models that satisfy U.S. EPA's Tier 4 Interim exhaust regulations without need for exhaust aftertreatment. All of the new K Series -- 310K EP, 310K, 310SK, 310SK TC, 315SK, 410K, 410K TC, and 710K, and 210K EP and 210K tractor loaders -- are powered by a certified Tier 4 Interim/Euro Stage III B PowerTech engine model, and come with a five-speed transmission or optional AutoShift.
A single loader lever with integrated electro-hydraulic (EH) auxiliary control eliminates the need for a second lever when using multi-function work tools. A joystick redesign for Deere's Total Machine Control (TMC) backhoe delivers equal lever efforts in all directions for smooth operation and precise swing control that reduces backhoe wag.
Backhoe loaders with a Sealed Switch Model (SSM) come standard with machine security. Differential Lock Protection can easily be enabled through the monitor and prevents damage from locking the rear differential at excess speeds. Smart technology such as auto idle, auto shutdown and keyless start are standard features on all SSM machines. Plus an economy mode provides sets machine performance for optimal fuel savings at maximum productivity.
Features carried forward from the J Series include:
- A multi-plate clutch to engage mechanical front wheel drive (MFWD) on the fly
- 10 adjustable work lights in the deluxe lighting package
- Multi-language digital monitor offering on-board diagnostics, calibrations and performance information
- Same-side, ground-level daily servicing
- Standard three-year subscription of JDLink telematic information

Damaged Dads
One of the most difficult jobs we have as dads, is the duty to protect our children. Some days it's protection from the school bully. Other days, its protection from adult worries like potential economic tsunami's. We tell them to wear helmets. We give lectures on safe driving. But what do you do when you have to protect your children from the very people closest to them? When an adult child has a difficult parent, who is now a difficult grandparent, it can really complicate already complex issues. Read more
A Little Confidence Goes a Long Way
Recently, I was reminded how a little confidence boost helps my children grow. My oldest struggles with a number of things. Partly because he is twelve. Partly because he is hard-headed. Well, mostly because he is hard-headed. He already knows everything – sound familiar? Because of this new found attitude, often, my wife and I find ourselves riding him pretty hard. Not out of choice – trust me – I have other things I'd rather be doing. It seems that every move he makes, needs correcting. Whether it's yelling at his sister, going back for third and fourth platefuls of dinner, making 40's on relatively easy homework assignments or lying – it feels like we can never let up. It has truly felt like a no-win situation. If we ignore things, it starts thinking he can get away with it. If we stay on his back, eventually he starts to look downtrodden and alone. Read more
What You See is What You Get
Often, there are very complex reasons why as fathers, we make the choices we make. Men are often unable to process the emotional pain they feel, so they elect to engage in activities that force decisions. Cheating is a perfect example. Men avoid the big issues they don't know how to deal with such as a spouse that treats them like a child and react by having an affair. A poor decision indeed, yet I choose not to believe that every man is simply a wolf in sheep's clothing – we can however, thank modern day television for that identity. Read more

Gear Review
stretchy around the waist
Kevin O'Reilly
Member since
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I couldn't decide between the 32" or the 34"....I went with the 32"and they fit pretty tight around the waist. They are not uncomfortable but are snug....took them for a ride and i had no problems. I like how they breath and feel, and love the design. The back pocket with pad is great and the green is darker which is what i was hoping for....all i would say is the size of the short is a little small ...the adjustable sides only work if you are trying to tighten the short meaning get a size up and you can cinch them down.

Chen, Chit Way and Chong, Chiew Let and Mohd Ghazali, Hasanah and Lai, Oi Ming (2007) Interpretation of triacylglycerol profiles of palm oil, palm kernel oil and their binary blends. Food Chemistry, 100 (1). pp. 178-191. ISSN 0308-8146

Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2005.09.044
The effects of lipase-catalyzed interesterification (IE) on changes in the chemical composition of palm oil (PO), palm kernel oil (PKO) and their binary blends at 3:1, 1:1 and 1:3 (w/w) ratios, using both 1,3 specific Rhizomucor miehei, (Lipozyme™) and non-specific Pseudomonas sp. lipases were evaluated. IE of the native PO and PKO showed very distinct chemical composition changes. Catalysis of PO, using both lipases, caused synthesis of more medium and long chain triacylglycerols (TAG), with MMM/OLL, MMP, OOO and PPP (M, myristic acid; O, oleic acid; L, linoleic acid; P, palmitic acid) increasing in concentration. In contrast, IE of PKO resulted in the formation of more short and medium chain TAG, with LaLaO and LaMO (La, lauric acid; C, capric acid) experiencing noteworthy increments. Both Rhizomucor miehei and Pseudomonas sp. lipases showed high affinity in hydrolyzing PO fatty acids, resulting in high TAG losses and formation of high percentages of partial glycerides while these lipases were found to enhance the synthesis process in IE of PKO. Catalysis of the three binary blends caused similar TAG compositional changes where the synthesis process focussed on the medium chain TAG, while hydrolysis was observed in the short and long chain TAG that showed corresponding decreases. Catalysis of the three blends was influenced by the major fraction of these blends. Among these blends, PO: PKO at a 1:1 ratio exhibited the highest degree of IE. The diversity and quantity of available TAG are postulated to be the main causes of the different catalytic activities in these binary blends with Pseudomonas sp. lipase showing a higher degree and rate of IE than R. miehei.

From Utah Division of Wildlife Resources
-- Late winter and early spring is the worst time of the year for elk, moose and especially deer in Utah. Deep snow makes it hard for deer to move or find food. Cold temperatures sap the animals' strength. By the time winter ends, deer are usually the weakest they'll be all year.
Winter is also the time of year when male deer, elk and moose shed their antlers. The animals will be without antlers until spring, when they'll start to grow a new set.
In Utah, shed hunters must complete a free online course before gathering shed antlers in Utah. The course is available at wildlife.utah.gov/shedantler.
Shed hunting has grown in popularity across the country, including in Utah. The challenge with shed-antler gathering is that it happens during the worst time of the year for the animals and the habitat the animals rely on in the winter.
"By the time winter ends, the animals are stressed," says Mike Fowlks, Law Enforcement Section chief for the Division of Wildlife Resources.
"Also, the habitat the animals rely on in the winter is wet," he says. "It's easily damaged. Once the habitat is damaged, it can take years for it to recover."
Fortunately, Fowlks says shed hunters can have fun gathering shed antlers without stressing the animals and damaging their habitat. "A free course that's available on our website will show you how," he says.
Fowlks says you must complete the DWR's Antler Gathering Ethics course if you want to gather shed antlers in Utah between Feb. 1 and April 15.
The course is free online. After finishing the course, make sure to print the certificate of completion before gathering antlers. "Make sure you carry your certificate with you," Fowlks says. "By law, you must have your certificate with you while you're gathering shed antlers."
For adults who have completed the course, the certificate covers minor children who hunt with adults.
Fowlks asks shed hunters to remember that many of the state's wildlife management areas are closed in the winter and the spring to protect wildlife.
For those who wish to gather sheds between Feb. 1 and April 15, the course must be completed prior to going afield. For those who until April 15 or later to gather antlers do not need to complete the course.
For more information on the course, call the nearest Division of Wildlife Resources office or the Salt Lake City office at (801)538-4700.

Mergers, Acquisitions Activity in Arkansas Quickens
Posted 1/23/2012 12:00 am
Updated 2 years ago
Deal-making in Arkansas picked up the pace last year, continuing a trend set in 2010.
And purchases by Wal-Mart Stores Inc. underscored the Bentonville-based retailer's "commitment to social and mobile commerce." Translation: Look out, Amazon.
That interpretation was bolstered by Wal-Mart's announcement last week of its new president and CEO of global e-commerce, Neil Ashe, former president of CBS Interactive.
The biggest deal by far in 2011 was the purchase of Chesapeake Energy Corp.'s Fayetteville Shale assets by Australian conglomerate BHP Billiton Ltd. for $4.75 billion. That topped by $55 million the biggest deal in Arkansas in 2010: Zurich-based ABB Ltd.'s acquisition of Baldor Electric Co. of Fort Smith for $4.2 billion.
(To see the list of biggest deals in 2011, click here. To see the list of Arkansas Finance Development Authority bond issues, click here.)
The 2011 dollar total of mergers and acquisitions also easily surpassed that of 2010. Arkansas Business again examined deals whose worth was reported or estimated to be $9 million or higher. In 2010, the 48 deals whose value could be determined totaled $12.69 billion. In 2011, with only 42 deals valued at $9 million or more, the total was $15.18 billion.
The number of big deals also jumped, from 64 in 2010 to 70 in 2011. These increases came even though Arkansas Business sought to tighten the criteria for "big deals," generally limiting them to announcements of a buyer and a seller.
Previous lists, including last year's, have featured new plants and new construction and plant and other capital expansions. Had those type of deals been a part of this year's list, the value and volume of 2011 "deals" would have been even higher.
The list also indicates M&A trends in Arkansas-based companies or companies with sizable assets in the state. Among the most significant in 2011:
- Wal-Mart more than doubled its known deal-making year over year, from five in 2010 to 11 last year. In addition, the retail behemoth appeared to focus on streamlining its grocery store business while snapping up technology companies.
- Energy-related deals feature prominently on the list.
- Digital and tech companies showed strong activity.
- Banks also stayed in acquisition mode though not as feverishly as in 2010 (see sidebar).
The picture in Arkansas differed somewhat from M&A activity globally last year.
The first half of 2011 saw strong deal-making action worldwide, but Europe's debt troubles weighed on the second half of the year. Thomson Reuters data show a 7.6 percent increase in M&A volume worldwide last year, to $2.54 trillion, compared with 2010.
In the United States, "M&A activity increased approximately 16 percent to $722 billion in 2011, while the number of transactions only increased about 1 percent to 6,454, driven by pent-up demand for transactions among both sellers of businesses looking for liquidity and buyers looking for growth and scale," said Marshall McKissack, who heads the mergers and acquisitions practice of Stephens Inc. of Little Rock. Stephens, though based in Arkansas, does business far be-yond the state's borders.
Relatively inexpensive debt capital remains abundant for those with good credit, he said. "Valuations in general have in-creased, based on high demand for quality businesses and abundance of capital chasing those deals."
Globally, the energy sector comprised 23 percent of the total value of deals disclosed in 2011, a PricewaterhouseCoopers report said.
Of the top 10 biggest deals in Arkansas, five involve the energy industry. Those include Murphy Oil's previously an-nounced plans to sell two refineries: the Meraux Refinery in Louisiana to Valero Energy Corp. for $625 million and the Superior Refinery in Wisconsin and related assets to Calumet Specialty Products Partners LP for $442 million.
The second-biggest deal in Arkansas last year, the purchase by Windstream of Paetec Holding Corp., a telecommunications provider, for $2.3 billion, was just one of a number of tech-related deals. Others include Acxiom's $74 million sale of Acxiom Information Security Services, a background screening firm, to New York's Sterling Infosystems Inc. and a $10 million investment by the Stephens Groupn LLC, along with other investors, in FireHost Inc. of Dallas, a secure cloud hosting company.
"We are seeing strength across most of the sectors we follow, including food and agriculture, telecommunications, media, consumer, industrial services, energy and transportation and logistics," McKissack said.
The financial services sector has been slower, he said, citing "regulatory uncertainty, access to capital and mark to market accounting."
McKissack noted "a great deal of interest from buyers outside of North America looking to invest, buy and grow in the continent."
What really intrigues, however, is Wal-Mart's activity in 2011, particularly its purchase of high-tech firms involved in e-commerce.
In 2010, four of Wal-Mart's five known acquisitions involved other retailers. But last year, five of the company's deals involved the sale of grocery stores, while its biggest acquisition was the $300 million purchase of Kosmix of Mountain View, Calif., a privately held social media startup.
In addition to Kosmix, Wal-Mart bought OneRiot Inc., of Boulder, Colo., a tech firm focused on mobile and social media advertising, and Grabble, an Australian company providing mobile payment software for online shopping.
Wal-Mart described the founders of Kosmix, Venky Harinarayan and Anand Rajaraman, as "early pioneers of online shopping, whose first company, Junglee, was bought by Amazon.com in 1998."
"The founders and the Kosmix team will operate as part of the newly formed @Wal-
martLabs and continue to be based in Silicon Valley," Wal-Mart said when announcing the purchase.
The company said it planned to expand the @WalmartLabs team and that it would focus on integrating bricks-and-mortar shopping with e-commerce.
Last year, several longtime Arkansas companies were purchased by foreign and out-of-state companies. These international deals included:
- O.K. Industries of Fort Smith, a privately held poultry company, purchased for $95 million by a Mexican firm, Industrias Bachoco S.A.B. de C.V.
- Hornbeck Seed Co. Inc. of Dewitt, a private seed development company, acquired for $42.6 million by Bayer Crop-Science AG of Germany.
- Thompson Industries Inc. of Russellville, a manufacturer of treated wood railroad products, bought for $41 million by Stella-Jones Inc., a Canadian company.
- Treadway Electric Co. Inc. of Little Rock, a provider of electrical supplies, purchased for an undisclosed price by Stuart C. Irby Co. of Jackson, Miss.

I love the way this little spice rack looks in my kitchen. I arranged it so the most colorful spices were facing front as most of them are just shades of green. I've used the Savory mix and the Herbs Provence and both were amazing. My only complaint is that the actual stand is made of a very cheap plastic.
Love the style and shape of the jars but they come prefilled with no labels. So how am i supposed to tell what is in the jars. I now have 7 jars filled with green stuff in varying shades that I cannot identify by sell or color!!
I like that the look, don't care for all the spices I got, probably will switch some out with mine, wish the tops were made with metal rather than plastic.
Product was just as discribed and it's price was the cheapest of all other sites and stores.
Love the look of the spice rack. Some of the spices I am not familiar with but the swivel base makes it easy to select a spice of your choice. I plan to fill empty jars with spices I use more often. Even though the base is plastic, it appears to be sturdy. The look is very appealing and it takes up little space. I plan to buy one for my vacation home.
Easy to use, doesn't take up too much room and makes an attractive addition to the kitchen. So far we are very satisfied with this product!
Excellent product and design. I use it everyday. Highly recommended.
I just received it today. Wow! It is nicer that I thought it would be. The Lazy Susan is fantastic because I do not have much counter space. The quality seems excellent and it looks like the picture only better. I would recommend to anyone that is thinking about getting this spice set. It comes with the spices and labels on each jar, takes up a small amount of space because it has two rows of spices. I love mine very much.
Spice Rack is nice and beautiful.... I LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!! Goes nice with my kitchen items. I keep it for d�cor in my kitchen
I ordered two of this item--one for myself and one as a gift. I opened one. Much to my surprise, the display and variety of spices is surperb! I placed mine on my kitchen counter immediately!

If you were a Former Policyholder on May 28, 2013, you will need to return an Address Verification Form by December 3, 2013., in order to qualify for a payment.

OK, I'm not making this up. This pie actually fooled the foodies at HGIC...and that says something!
Lynn Jacobson took home baseball bat sized zucchini from Bob Orazi and Jon Traunfeld, performed her magic, and turned them into Surprise Apple Pie!
Surprise Apple Pie
Recipe Credit: Doreen Connor Willington Baptist Church, Willington, Connecticut
Yield: 6-8 servings
unbaked pastry for double-crust 9-inch pie
4-5 cups peeled and sliced zucchini (remove seeds if using large zucchini)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
dash of salt
1 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose white flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Line a 9-inch pie plate with the bottom crust.
Blanch or steam the zucchini for 5 to 10 minutes, until tender crisp. Drain really well. Pour the lemon juice and sprinkle the salt over the zucchini.
In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and cream of tartar. Mix with the zucchini. It will become very watery. Pour into the pie shell. Cover with top crust.
Bake for 40 minutes. Let cool completely. The filling will thicken as it cools.
Surprise! Now you know what to do with that overwhelming crop of zucchini: just smuggle it in pie crusts to unsuspecting friends! Click HERE for a printable recipe card.

ITC Judge Says Microsoft Xbox Does Not Infringe Motorola PatentPosted: Monday, Mar 25, 2013 @ 3:29 pm | Written by Gene Quinn | 1 Comment »
Posted in: Companies We Follow, Gene Quinn, Google, International Trade Commission, IP News, IPWatchdog.com Articles, Microsoft, Patents
On Friday, March 22, 2013, Administrative Law Judge David P. Shaw of the United States International Trade Commission issued a remand determination relating to the investigation instituted by the Commission to investigate patent infringement allegations leveled against Microsoft's Xbox . Judge Shaw determined that the Xbox does not infringe the remaining patent involved in the ITC investigation, which is a complete reversal of his earlier determination that the Xbox did infringe (see below).
Shaw's remand determination was brief:
It is held that a violation of section 337 of the Tariff Act, as amended, has not occurred in the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, or the sale within the United States after importation, or the sale within the United States after importation, of certain gaming and entertainment consoles, related software, or components thereof that are alleged to infringe asserted claims 1 and 12 of U.S. Patent No. 6,069,896.
The full Commission now has until July 23, 2013, to consider Judge Shaw's remand ID.

c. 1950s: Christmas Guns
36 Responses
Matt Crowley
Here is another ad you might like:
Suzi Love
I can't help but laugh at the Christmas gun adds, even though it's a horrifying thought that adds like that were really shown and seen.
Love your site,
Nothing horrifying about a simpler time when guns were viewed as the useful tools and fun recreational items that they are.
yeah right I heard people argue guns were good for killing (people) can you believe it?
Mike G
An AK-47 is on my Christmas wish list! :o)
It's called an AK. Or AKM. The AK-47 was a prototype model and has never been mass produced.
When will people finally learn this?
Mike K
Re; Suzi Love … what is horrifying is your comment; it is truly a shame that we live in a country that can no longer have ads like this due to criticism from a small minority. Guns made this country, they will forever be a part of it. And the ads are very tasteful.
Priskat Priskat
Dear Mike,
Guns sure made your country, as it made mourning moms and dads… today being the day after the Newtown tragedy, it's quite interesting to read your and other people's comments. These tasteful ads are from a different time, when people used to respect life and other people, just as I respect your opinion, even though I do not agree! Have a wonderful Christmas.
Rich T
BB guns are politically incorrect now? wow.
oddly, there doesn't seem to be a single AK-47 in these ads.
What did you expect? We live in the age of the pussy.
Oooooh no! Ads with guns were shown and seen! Horrifying. Wet your pants!
Gave my kid one for christmas. He'll learn much from the proper and safe handling of such.
Huzzah for America!
Joe Entropy
I like how Bob's Dad in the #8 calls him Bill. How much time does he spend with his son, anyway?
nice ads! I'm 30, but grew up in california where guns = politically incorrect. it's a shame that we become more fearful in order to progress, not less.
Michael G.
Yes, once upon a time in America we couldn't wait until our parents thought we were old enough and mature enough to get our first BB gun. I also remember the Christmas I got a bow with real, target pointed arrows (that could kill most anything) and was allowed to carry that and my Crossman BB pistol out of sight of my parents. They actually trusted me! My dad had been in WW2 and told my brothers, sisters and I about the time a "greenie" has pointed rifle at him and how Dad had crawled him for that mistake. That was his main lesson … "never point your weapon at anything you don't intend to kill".
Lessons like that were dispensed by and governed by parents … not ads or TV puppets or federal mandates. Parents used to be enough for the proper up-bringing of children. Sad we can't say that today.
I got a Winchester Model 94 .30-30 from my parents for Christmas in 1959. Lifelong liberalish guy that I am, I still have it, still love it.
Ian Whitehouse
I cant believe that so many of these responses cant see anything wrong with these adverts. Give a child a gun to celebrate the birth of Christ? I'm not even overly religious but for country that is supposedly profoundly Christian how do they rationalise this. Can they imagine Christ advocating guns for children, is this likely?
John Skookum
"Let he that hath no sword, sell his cloak and buy one."
The words of Christ, Luke 22:36
Rita Ford
To the best of my knowledge we do live in the good ole USA where guns are part of our heritage. At age 72 my Daisy sits next to the door to protect the kittens and neighbors chickens from the possums, raccoons & turkey buzzards. My shotguns, rifles and handguns have been disbursed to my daughter, son, grandsons & granddaughter because of arthritis & failing eyes. Because our family has been taught respect and responsibility for firearms for generations, we do not feel the rigors of pius separation of religion & state.
I think it's important to remember that these ads all walk a middle ground you don't see as often these days. None of these are advocating the lethality of the rifles or their use against another person. They're all represented as sporting guns for target shooting and hunting.
It can be hard for people without gun experience to understand what most shooters are about. We just want to get good with a set tool. No one thinks archery buffs are crazed maniacs.
I think the ads are cute. A little Americana around the holidays is a perfect tradition. Heck, Coke invented the current Santa. Then again, I bought my girlfriend a rifle for Christmas so I'm probably pretty bias.
Agree or disagree, Happy Holidays everyone!
Stephane Adam
Yeah ! Let's Columbine !

"Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one."
-Luke 22:36
I'm an atheist, but that doesn't mean I'm a total historical illiterate. You're projecting your modern inability to distinguish defensive violence from predatory violence onto people from the past, who didn't share your disability.
I've just seen Bowling for Columbine yesterday, and seeing how U.S.A. people react to criticism makes a lot of sense to me now.
great site tho.
How can we forget Ralphie in "A Christmas Story" trying to convince his convince his parents, teachers, and Santa that a Red Ryder BB gun really is the perfect gift for the 1940′s?
I'm surprised the first comment wasn't "You'll shoot your eye out, kid".
Me too!
I still remember vividly my first Daisy BB rifle and all the fun my friends and I had shooting it (mostly at cans). I also remember, even more fondly and vividly, my sixth Christmas and the gift my father gave me, a well-used but still beautiful .22 rifle (single shot, bolt action). After I picked it up & jumped up and down a few times, my father took me outside and explained how to safely use the little rifle. I still have that rifle. Thanks Dad!
Patrick Lane
I tell ya what. I may be 19 but the first BB gun i got was when i was 17 and that was the first gun i got to own (not shoot). Granted it was a Red Ryder and not a Daisy, it was old. Rusted and worn, i pulled it apart, cleaned it up, put new bolts in it, and re-finished it and now it looks like it just came out of the factory im happy to own one!
I can(')t believe that so many of these responses cant see anything wrong with these adverts. Give a child a gun to celebrate the birth of Christ? I'm not even overly religious but for country that is supposedly profoundly Christian how do they rationalise this.
My 30-30 lever action put venison on the table (at age 16)
My 12 Guage Pump put quail on the table (at age 14)
My .410 single shot kept the rabbits out of the garden (at age 12)
My .22 cal pellet gun kept the birds off the fruit trees (at age 10)
My Daisy BB gun allowed Dad to teach me how to handle a fire arm. (at age 8)
I don't think Jesus would have a problem with Dad and I feeding our family (or keeping the garden safe from pests).
If my parents had given me a gun as a kid, maybe I wouldn't have collected so damn many as an adult
My wife still has her Daisy pump-gun, the exact one from that ad.
Who said commercialism was a modern development in Christmas?
"I've just seen Bowling for Columbine yesterday, and seeing how U.S.A. people react to criticism makes a lot of sense to me now."
Well Javier, here's the deal. The piece-o-crap you watched yesterday was a complete fabrication. For example; 1) given their size and length, the NRA's annual meetings require planning and reservations up to 3 years in advance. When the two Ritalin infused Columbine students decided to become killers it was just ten days before the '99 annual meeting. Unable to change the dates or location the NRA cut it's meeting to a a day or two at considerable financial loss to the organization and individuals – a point "overlooked" in the film, 2)The speech given by Charlton Heston was not at the '99 annual meeting (the year of Columbine). It was the year after and 1500 miles away in North Carolina, 3)The guns given out by the bank upon opening an account were given in the form of a voucher that could be traded for a gun AFTER completing a required waiting period AND a required ATFE/Police background check. NONE were handed out at the bank.
There were other "boo=boos" but I'll stop here. The films Michael Moore produces are LIES. Michael Moore is a LIAR. He is a socialist who would like nothing more than to change the United States into a socialist sty like that of the PRC, Cuba, or the former USSR. He purposely paints the worst possible picture of the United States.
So comrade Javier, believe his bilious spewing if you must, but you've learned NOTHING about the United States and even less about Americans.
I would love to see ads for guns like this again. The attitude is changing whether the anti gunners want it or not. "Sons of Guns," "American Guns"… two unapologetic shows dealing with guns. For the 15 millionth time guns are just human operated machines, just like cars. They can be used for good or abused just like any other tool.
My father grew up in the 40′s in Maryland. He would get up early in the morning go hunting for ducks, drop off his birds at a local plucker, and then proceed to school WITH HIS SHOTGUN AND AMMO! When he arrived at school he would put his gun and ammo in the coat closet along with his coat. Nobody thought twice about it. That was because a whole slew of other boys his age had their guns in that closet too! When school was finished, He would pick up his gun, ammo and coat along with his books and would walk home with all of the other young hunters stopping off on the way to pick up the plucked birds that he shot for the dinner table that night.
There were never any shootings and nobody complained. Guns and gun ads aren't the problem.
These comments are hilarious, are you all so American that you can't see irony when it's staring you slap bang in the face! I'm pretty sure all these ads were posted to show a time when everyone was clearly a bit more mental
I received my first Daisey BB gun when I was 10. I learned marksmanship and respect for firearms. We had firearms in our house and none of my brothers or sisters ever shot anyone else. Only the mentally deficient see danger in everything, especially inanimate objects. England has a 100% firearms ban, but some of the highest murder rates per capita in the world. I can see how disarming the citizens reduces crime.
ThatDarnCat, that statement is simply wrong, in every possible way. Do some research before you spout nonsense in future. And the country you are referring to is Britain, not England.

Hey All, I am worried and need some help!
I underwent arthroscopic surgery (Bankart with Capsular Shift) for shoulder instability 14 weeks ago. I was in a sling for 6 weeks and then started physio. By now I should be able to have full range of motion. The problem is that when I move my arm all the way back (as if im hugging) then up above my head, there is popping by the AC joint. The same popping happens anytime I have my arm in the position where I would be in court under oath with my hand in the air...like throwing a baseball. If i go back and forth I can feel popping. If i try to raise my hands sideways and reach up the pop is loud and uncomfortable but there is no pain. I can definitely feel something moving around though.
I went to see my surgeon last week because I thought there was a problem with the surgery but he informed me at that point that its the AC joint and he had nothing to do with that. This never happened before surgery....I was able to bench and do military press with no problem, as well as having full ROM, but the surgery was to prevent dislocations.
My surgeon said he thinks its because I have loose joints in general and my shoulder is stiff, causing the popping/moving and it should go away eventually. He is a douche though and I don't really trust him. He would say things like "well do you need to make that motion for work?" and I would tell him, "no, but the whole point of this surgery is so I can play with my kids and throw a fackin football one day and now this is a new problem in the way of that".
Does anyone here know if this sounds normal? Has anyone experienced this? I'm pissed because I can't get back my range because of this....physio is going slow.
Ps. it seems like the AC joint location but the doc only looked at it quickly so maybe there's another explanation?
Thanks for any help!

Is there such a thing as "failing" a gender test?
A source closely involved with the IAAF tests said Semenya had internal testes the male sexual organs that produce testosterone, according to the Telegraph.
As a result, the IAAF could disqualify the South African from future events and strip her of her gold medal, the newspaper reported.
But IAAF spokesman Nick Davies told the Associated Press on Tuesday that Semenya is likely to keep her gold.
"There is no automatic disqualification of results in a case like this," Davies said. "This is not a doping case at present, so it shouldn't be considered as one where you have a retroactive stripping of results."
None of the reports I've found say anything about karyotype. The spokesman's comments raise the question of culpability versus performance advantage. Semenya's testosterone-fueled development is arguably a competitive advantage over other women. But she's done nothing wrong; she did not seek out this advantage. Yet girls in many countries diagnosed with internal testes would usually have them surgically removed -- would their parents refuse the surgery if it neutralized a possible sports career? What triggers eligibility, anyway?
UPDATE (2009-09-14): A reader writes:
