Whether you call it bro-on-bro action, fraternicide or inter-generational warfare, the end result is an LS1 fourth-gen putting the hurt on its LT1-powered sibling. It's a barbaric practice, no doubt, one that yields lopsided results in favor of the more sophisticated all-aluminum small-block. Not all is lost for LT1 cars, however, as these Gen II vs. Gen III skirmishes set the stage for building the ultimate sleeper. Despite wearing the sheetmetal of an early fourth-gen, Joseph Constance's '93 Camaro packs an LS6, runs 11s, and surprises the bejeezus out of its peanut-eyed LS1 brethren.
It all started five years ago with an ad Joseph posted on www.camaroz28.com, soliciting board members for a nice and cheap fourth-gen project car. An F-body man to the core, Joseph had gone a little overboard with his '72 Camaro-transforming it into a 14.0:1, 406-powered beast-and it became too nervous and fidgety to use as a daily driver. Fortunately, a response popped up in his inbox from a would-be seller with an offer he couldn't ignore. "The owner said he had a nice '93 Z28 with bolt-ons he would let go for $3,500, which was a very good price at the time. I got on the next plane to California to check the car out," Joseph recalls. "When I got there, I found out the motor had a knock in it, and the owner just didn't have enough time or money to fix it. I told him that I only brought $1,000 with me, and we struck up a deal. I really liked the idea of building a car from the ground up so I could make it stand out from the crowd."
After bringing the car home to Houston, Joseph drew up plans to get it back on the road by dropping in a 355 and topping it off with a blower. That soon changed, as his buddies kept badgering him about an LS1 swap. Driving a friend's blown-LT1 car, and walking away not-too-impressed sealed his Camaro's fate. "The LT1 pulls hard to 3,000 rpm, but runs out of steam after that," Joseph opines. "I wanted a reliable 11-second daily driver, and I felt an LS1 would make it easier to meet that goal. One of my friends runs the parts department at a local Chevy dealership, and he said he had a spare LS6 laying around. He agreed to let me have it if I was willing to work the counter for the summer."
With his apprenticeship complete and an LS6 in hand, Joseph got busy tackling the engine install. Swapping out an LT1 for a Gen III small-block was even less common back then than it is today, so there were very few people to turn to for advice. Obviously, since '98-and-up F-bodies were available with LS1s from the factory, tracking down motor mounts, headers, and the right oil pan wasn't a problem. However, sorting out the electronics proved to be the most challenging aspect of the swap. "I wanted the car to appear as if GM put LS1s in Camaros back in 1993, so I grafted the factory LS6 computer and harness into the original LT1 harness," Joseph explains. "I spent weeks looking up wiring schematics and pin references guides online, and cutting and splicing wires to make it all work. The hard work paid off, because now the stock LS6 PCM properly operates the A/C system, LT1-style gauges, and cruise control. Unlike an LT1 car, the fuel systems in LS1 Camaros don't have a return line, so I installed a filter off of a '99 Corvette since it has an integrated pressure regulator. The hydraulics on LT1-spec T56 transmissions are also different, so I installed a built six-speed out of an LS1 car."

The Wall Street Journal reports that Google has developed Chrome OS laptops with touchscreens. According to the Journal's sources, the Chromebooks will go on sale later this year, though there aren't any details on which hardware manufacturers are working with Google. Last year the company started selling Chromebooks by Samsung and Acer directly through the Google Play Store. The rumored Chromebook Pixel
A touchscreen Chromebook would likely require significant alterations to Chrome OS, which uses a desktop-style interface built around Google's Chrome browser and designed for a mouse and keyboard. The touchscreen laptops would mean Google offered two touch-based operating systems; it's unclear how the company would position the new products against existing Android tablets.

After finishing another successful racing season, Doug Fehan and the Corvette Racing team thundered into the Simeone Museum in Philadelphia for a pit stop. Situated a stone's throw from the Philadelphia International Airport, the Simeone contains more than 60 sports and racing cars. Remarkably, all but a handful can be gassed up, topped off with oil, and running in about 45 minutes. These are not static display pieces, but rather fully functional war horses. Just knowing that makes looking at each car feel more "real."
The Corvette Racing team arrived in one of its fully decorated big rigs with the C6.R "show car," plus several unique Corvette display pieces. The event was a two-part "Legends of Corvette Racing" presentation. Friday night featured an open bar, buffet hors d'oeuvres, and a one-and-a-half-hour presentation by team manager Fehan.
Day 1
Museum PR director Harry Hurst opened the evening by introducing Fehan, who was flanked on the dais by a pair of Corvette race cars. On one side was the George Wintersteen No. 002 '63 Grand Sport, and on the other was the C6.R show car. Hurst said, "Ladies and gentlemen, before we bring up our special guest of honor, I would like to introduce you to the C6.R and Grand Sport Corvettes." And on cue, both cars were fired up. Throttles were blipped, and the sounds of uncapped racing engines filled the room.
While a bellowing pair of Corvette race cars might seem like a tough act to follow, Fehan was unfazed. For the next 90 minutes, he explained the monumental efforts that go into every race of the season. Four videos were shown, featuring the various aspects of taking a racing team to Le Mans. Fehan explained the unique challenges of endurance racing and the critical importance of preparing for almost any possibility. One could not help but be impressed.
The last half-hour found Fehan taking questions from the audience. After the predictable barrage of queries about the C7, someone asked why Chevrolet doesn't offer a "club racer" base Corvette with all the hot Z06 and ZR1 parts installed. Fehan acknowledged that while such a car would be deeply desirable to a small number of buyers, it would cost around $250,000 and sell in quantities too small to be profitable. Meanwhile, the base C6, at around $50,000, is so advanced that one could build a comparable track out of it for considerably less.
Another audience member asked if there was a possibility of Corvette becoming its own brand. Fehan explained that while such a move had been discussed, the amount of work surrounding the new C7, the final year of the C6.R, and the development of the C7.R kept it in the realm of the theoretical.
Asked about the future of the LS7, Fehan responded, "It's doubtful. But the new engine will be stronger and lighter. And the 427 badges will still be available."
He went on to share a insider's perspective on that oft-asked car-enthusiast question, "Why don't they just install a [blank]?" He talked about the challenges of not only building a lightweight sports car, but filling it with all the features and amenities we expect today, while simultaneously meeting federal crash and CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards. He has a point: When one takes into account all the factors involved in building a production Corvette, the car is all the more impressive.

(Above: I Am Lightyear, Below: Caged Animals, The MOSCOT Gallery & Music Space)
The MOSCOT Shops were THE place to be this past weekend as we bid farewell to summer with a weekend of awesome music! Teaming with Extended Family, our "Farewell to Summer" weekend of music started Saturday at The MOSCOT Gallery & Music Space at Orchard Street with indie pop band "I Am Lightyear," who led by songtress Lauren Zettler, got the crowd ooh-ing and asking for more. Next up, NYC band "Caged Animals" hit the stage, taking the crowd on a ride with their cool blend of chilled out, yet upbeat indie rock. It's a good thing we have a lot of floor space, as we danced the afternoon away!
The fun continued Sunday as fans migrated east to The MOSCOT Backyard at MOSCOT Court Street for sunshine, free Brooklyn Brewery beer (for those 21+) and sweet sets by indie-folk acts, "Swear & Shake" and "Aunt Martha". The boy/girl band duo of Swear & Shake went first, harmonizing sweet tunes backed by banjo, guitar, harmonica, and the stomping beat of their feet. Aunt Martha played a mix of softer, straight-to-heart songs and guitar-driven, rock-inspired jams.
We loved partnering with Extended Family, which was born out of the desire for Family Records to work with artists who aren't signed to their label, in a way that felt positive and fun for everyone involved.
Thanks to everyone who came out for our last summer weekend, with a special shout out to the folks at Extended Family/Family Records and Brooklyn Brewery!!!
Stay tuned for info on our next event during CMJ week!

Size is the biggest unknown here, but skills against skills GSP runs away with it. GSP has looked massive lately, he's really done a good job with his weight training and I think if he can get it to carry over to 185 he wins easily.
Zombie is born!
GSP would take this with little problems. Chael has great take downs and shitty sub defense. What a crazy combination lol.
Goodbye Mr. Burton
All in the reflexes
Anderson Silva 5: TRT USERS 0 Hendo - Forrest - Nate - Chael... twice
His game is always just to push forward and get the takedown, he is willing to take some shots to get inside... I do see him being able to get GSP down, he has the skill as well as some good size/strength on GSP.
nice ass btw, you got to come in from the side every now and then. good find.
No question GSP could sub Chael if he was on top, but we havent seen GSP defending off of his back in a while. Im sure Sonnen has been working on his sub defense as well...
It would actually be a fight I would look forward to seeing.... Even if it wouldnt be the most exciting, it would be interesting to see how it played out.
Just straight up skills GSP wins easily. Take Chaels size advantage out of the mix and he has nothing he does better then GSP. At best his takedowns are just as good but GSP's takedown defense is way better.
The size difference makes it a closer match though I could still see GSP winning by sub or close decision.

New CD "The Paradigm Shift" in stores Oct 1st
This is the title of the new CD and the official release date! Posted from KoRn's Facebook about a half hour ago =D
THE PARADIGM SHIFT holds a special significance for these musicians. Guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer explains, "It's a term encompassing different perspectives. You can view a piece of art from one angle and it takes on a certain image. If you look from another angle, it's a completely different image. We liken that to KORN in 2013. With Head back in the fold, all of the elements fans have loved since day one are there, but we're interpreting them from a new perspective. It's a bigger,brighter, and bolder KORN."

Re: New CD "The Paradigm Shift" in stores Oct 1st
I'm excited for this. I love EVERY KoRn album. So this is kinda like Path of Totality with some Untouchables. We all wish it was KoRn 1994 Part 2 but I'm happy for the evolution KoRn has. I will buy both regular and Special Edition.
Re: New CD "The Paradigm Shift" in stores Oct 1st
I know I'm late, but I just found out today ~on my birthday~ about ya'll new album...with Head.....and I'm so fucking excited!!! Thank You KORN!!! you guys have made my birthday!! I loved you since I was a teen and keep making the unforgettable music you make! Even my 6yr old jams to you
Re: New CD "The Paradigm Shift" in stores Oct 1st
Yeah all I can say is I love everything Korn has ever written, all of their albums from 'Korn' to 'Path Of Totality' and everything inbetween it is all masterpiece after masterpiece and I am fucking stoked to see Head back. \m/
Re: New CD "The Paradigm Shift" in stores Oct 1st
So, I've just read online that you'll be able to get a Documentary DVD with The Paradigm Shift CD (mostly about the return of Head) which sounds awesome! Then I read that it will be produced by that Sebastian Paquette guy (Not so good).
I'm not sure about everyone else but I'm not a huge fan of the way he does videos. For example I was so excited about there being a dvd with the KoRn III album showing all the studio recordings. When I watched the dvd I felt he ruined it with all those silly effects and just really wish it was recorded normal without all of that stuff.
I really hope this dvd won't have any of that.

Talk to a car guy about bolt-ons and he'll know you're not referring to pectoral improvements for the female of the species. When it comes to parts, it's been a long-raging debate what's better: bolt-ons versus full replacement. This subject gets particularly dicey when it comes to early Novas. Known for, quite frankly, a dreadfully poor stock front suspension, early Novas have the most to gain in handling improvements out of their other Chevy brethren. Usually gearheads opt for the full replacement for the Nova's lackluster front subframe and suspension, but the aftermarket has embraced enthusiasts who don't want to modify their Deuces that heavily.
Bill Kress was in a quandary. He wanted to improve the handling of his '63 Nova SS, but didn't want to have his car down for the time it would take to install a full front clip. Several conversations with Chuck Church at Church Boys Racing had Bill convinced bolt-on was the way to go. Church Boys was already very well-known for its bolt-on rack-and-pinion steering conversion for early Novas, and its expanded line of bolt-on '62-67 Nova parts includes tubular control arms, sway bars, K-members, and a slew of rear suspension parts to get any early Nova handling like a Corvette.
After installing all the necessary parts, Bill was ecstatic about the improved corner-carving ability of his '63. When Chuck approached him about using the Nova in our 2010 Handling Challenge, Bill leapt at the opportunity. With Chuck's suggestions, Bill added Church Boys improved 5 1/2 leaf springs and Varishock coilovers up front, along with some electrical and wiring upgrades. The Nova's 383 mouse was checked over, along with the TH350 trans, to make sure they were up to the task.
Driver's Impression - On the Autocross Course
Church Boys Racing is well known for Chevy II and Nova handling parts, and this one sported my favorite engine, a 383 SBC. But with front disc/rear drum brakes, and a slush box trans, it was sort of like bringing a knife to a gunfight. Still, no worries here. The car had an accelerator and brake pedal, a steering wheel, and could go, stop, and turn ... right? Unfortunately, the Nova sported manual steering. For me, this posed a big problem since I didn't eat my Wheaties that morning and as this was clearly going to be the most difficult drive of the day, I saved it for last. For this I'm glad, as after my runs my arms were toast.
Strapping myself into the driver's seat, I looked down the course and mentally willed myself to plan my turns, never let go of the steering wheel, and shuffle steer like mad. Grabbing that wheel, I matted the pedal and threw the Nova into the first left-hander and from there, into the slalom. Thankfully, the steering ratio was relatively quick and I got through this section pretty good. The Nova could be steered about, but if I got a bit over-exuberant with the throttle and got into oversteer, with no power assist any countersteer correction couldn't happen fast enough. I had to be extremely precise and when done textbook right, the car rewarded me well.
I really liked the way the Nova could lay down power from the crossover to the end turnaround and then back to the sweepers. The brakes got the car slowed in a hurry and early hand position prepared for late apexes that were the mainstay of my return path. I also found out I had the ability to slide the car around a bit which gave me proper placement for corner exit. The tight turns before the finish were very hard to thread through and my times showed a ton of it was left on the tarmac. With power assist, this car could be incredible on any autocross course as it was extremely well balanced and went where pointed. Tons of positives here.

Welcome back, Lady V. Good to see you posting again.
For myself, a perfect piece of 80's nostalgia is this. My favourite show as a kid and I'll admit to still watching episodes when it gets its periodic re-airings on satellite. I can't count the amount of nights the smaller me drifted off to sleep imagining me helping them out.
I was also more than a bit partial to Knightmare, as well as the magnificent, underrated and unjustly forgotten Grotbags. I was also deeply affected by a live action children's chiller called the The Green Man, about a haunted tree, for which I can find no youtube clips. Lordy, it scared me witless back then. I'd love to see how it stands up watching it as an adult*.
* At least, in the eyes of the law. Mrs B. may disagree entirely with my describing myself as an "adult".

Alright coding group people... the UNL Calendar system can stand on it's own now without constant updates. With time free from that - we need to move on to some new projects.
Immediate Need:
A system to report website conversion status to the Chancellor - This project basically involves a registration system for the WDN, which will allow a user to register as a member, indicate the sites they manage, mark them as completed or give estimated completion date.
--- Integrate this system into a UNL Web commenting system which will redirect comments to the WDN members responsible for maintaining those sites. Allow WDN members to subscribe to an RSS feed of comments related to their sites. Perhaps integrate the comments into a ticket system (dream big, eh?).
Future Need:
Faculty & Student Directory Improvements
OfficeFinder (Yellow-pages companion to PeopleFinder)
Free CMS
Feel free to propose items to work on as well... I'm happy to work on something that benefits UNL websites as a whole.
I'm proposing a meeting next week to go over the projects. Please post here if you're interested in helping out, and availability next week. The coding group has traditionally met at 3pm on Fridays, and is known to sometimes meet at off-campus barley and hops distribution facilities.
I hope next Friday is ok if people want to meet... but I won't be waiting around until then to start something. I expect these projects to move as fast as possible.
Oh, and we need non-coders too!

Emotion and Reason in the Gun Debate
You may have heard the story of Caroline Sparks, the 2-year-old Kentucky girl who was killed this week when her brother, all of 5 years old himself, took the rifle he got for his birthday and shot her in the chest. I suppose we should be thankful this kind of thing doesn't happen even more often; as a Kentucky state trooper told CNN, "In this part of the country, it's not uncommon for a 5-year-old to have a gun." I'm sure that when gun-rights advocates heard the story, they said, "Oh geez, here we go again." They'd have to deal yet again with people being upset when innocents get killed with guns. They'd have to explain that as tragic as Caroline's death is, it doesn't mean that we should change the law on background checks. After all, that 5-year-old boy got his gun from his parents, not at a gun show.
Whatever you think about gun advocates, could they be right on this point? Sure, it's a little rich coming from people who are constantly stoking fears of home invasions, fascist takeovers, and utter societal breakdown to justify our current lax gun laws. But do we get into trouble when our arguments about public policy are based on emotionally vivid but unrepresentative individual stories? Maybe.
Let's be clear about one thing: The horrifying story of Caroline Sparks' death tells us, if nothing else, that certain corners of gun culture in America are f-ing nuts. Anyone who has known a five-year-old understands that giving one of them a functioning firearm is utterly insane. Don't give me any line about instilling proper respect for guns in children; at an age when a child doesn't have the dexterity to tie his own shoes, and lacks the impulse control to conclude that putting Krazy Glue on his lips might not be such a great idea, he shouldn't be allowed within 20 feet of a gun, supervised or not. Stories like this one may not be common, but they aren't all that unusual either. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control, in 2010, 62 American children aged 14 and under were killed by accidental discharge of firearms; 25 of those were under age 5. Two hundred and nineteen kids 14 and younger were intentionally murdered with guns, including 54 younger than 5. So Caroline Sparks wasn't the first, and she won't be the last.
Nevertheless, her story and others like it may not speak directly to whether we should have something like more comprehensive background checks. Gun rights supporters are fond of saying that expanded background checks wouldn't have stopped the Sandy Hook shooting, and strictly speaking that's true, since Adam Lanza got his guns from his mother, and since she wasn't an ex-felon, nothing in the law prevented her from amassing an arsenal of military-grade weaponry. Furthermore, the 26 people who were murdered in Newtown accounted for only about a quarter of one percent of all the Americans killed by guns last year. Preventing more mass shootings, and limiting the death toll in those that do occur, is a reasonable goal. But it's only a small part of our real gun problem.
Of course events like Sandy Hook aren't representative; that's why we pay so much attention to them. Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote in a decision in a case about potentially dangerous speech that "eloquence may set fire to reason," by which he meant that people can get riled up for perfectly sound reasons. In the same way, if one shocking event rouses us from our stupor to have an actual debate, and perhaps some policy changes, on what no one can deny is a genuine problem, then what's the harm? It isn't as though in the heat of the moment some kind of crazy piece of legislation was rushed through Congress without anyone bothering to figure out what was in it, making sweeping changes to our laws with far-reaching implications, like the USA-PATRIOT Act. Sandy Hook spurred a debate, stretching over months now. Everyone has had ample time to make all the reason-based arguments they can come up with and critique those of the other side.
Gun advocates may be embarrassed when stories like that of Caroline Sparks come to light, but deaths like hers are the product of the culture they have worked so hard to create, where we put guns in as many places as possible and people are dumb enough to think that it's perfectly fine to give a rifle to a 5-year-old. Little kids shooting toddlers may not, in and of itself, say anything about whether we should do something like expand background checks. But that's because our current policy choices are so absurdly constrained. Those stories do help us understand the profound sickness coursing through our national bloodstream, where we've come to accept that an endless slaughter, with a couple of dozen Americans gunned down each and every day, is just the price of "freedom." And yes, that's worth getting emotional about.

The death of any child is a tragedy, whatever instrument caused it. Carolyn Sparks is dead because people who should have known better allowed an unsupervised 5-year old access to a working firearm and ammunition. If she had fallen into an open 5-gallon pail half full of water and drowned, who would you have blamed? The manufacturers of the pail, or the National Plastics Council. or the parents?
Maybe some people are too stupid to have children; do you consider yourself qualified to decide? There's an ugly name for that; eugenics. The sad truth is that there will always be Carolyns in a nation as huge and varied as ours.
Innocent people die every day from firearm violence, but others are saved by by the same devices. One night nearly thirty years ago I was awakened to pounding on my front door at 1 AM; it was a young mother from across the street with her two children, who had made a break for my house after being trapped in theirs by a masked intruder who ripped out the phone lines (no cell phones back then in this area) and rattled doors and windows trying to get in for three hours until they fled out the front door as he was out back.
I grabbed my big aluminum flashlight and my Ruger Redhawk hunting revolver and cautiously crossed the street; Law Enforcement was 20 minutes away, and a lot can happen in 20 minutes. When I got to the house the perp was gone. It turns out I knew him, and he knew me as a Coast Guard Boarding officer and firearms enthusiast. A K-9 team caught him a mile away, hiding in a ditch. I think the sight of that old stainless steel revolver unnerved him a little. Would he have hurt that family? Who knows? I did not intend to allow him the opportunity.
Humans are one of those unfortunate species that breed our own predators. If we keep packing buildings with large numbers of people who have been deprived of the means to protect themselves (Newtown, the Aurora theater) we will continue to have these horrors, and all this exploitation of small bloody bodies will do nothing to stop it.
We are fortunate in that we are faced with a handful of whackos who think murdering a bunch of kids is a grand idea; the Israelis face thousands of them. And how do they respond? Hardened schools and armed teachers. It's time to stop playing politics and start facing reality.
Fri, 2013-05-03 16:21
I'll give the family of the 2 yr old a response conservatives give people who get HIV, teens who get pregnant, gays who get attacked for being gay, rape victims, terror suspects who get illegally tortured, and anyone who is poor; "Sucks to be you, u made your bed, now sleep in it, take responsibility for your actions, what your going through is part of the Christian god's plan for you.... ".

Background checks make it harder & more expensive for law-abiding people to acquire firearms.
Yet, some are willing to inconvenience & make it more expensive for the vast majority of Americans to acquire firearms by imposing an ineffective law that criminals will have no problem dancing around. To criminals, new gun laws would just be more hard-to-understand words on paper. They won't even bother to read them. And if they do, they'll say, "Hmmmm? I can't pass any background check, I'll have to steal my guns or buy them from another criminal with a spotless record because he hasn't been caught yet.
If a gun store owner denies a criminal a gun during the day, the criminal will just return at night with his burglary tools & take what he wants. In fact, criminals probably won't even try to buy guns in the first place. Why buy something when you can get it for free?
When it comes to foreigners at Gitmo, the left is willing to go to any length to protect their Constitutional rights. But when it comes to American citizens the left is willing to go to any length to abridge their Second Amendment rights.
Reasonable? Really?

What sort of "freedom" does the possession of firearms provide? I don't mean in theory, I mean in practice.
Protection from wild animals? Okay, though this isn't problem for most modern Americans. If I lived in the Rockies, you bet I would want a good 10 gauge for cougars and grizzlies. Luger? Not so much.
Protection from robbers and violent crime? But we have no proof gun ownership is protective. The US has more people in prison than any other nation. Hard to understand, since violent crime has fallen over the past 30 years -- and so has the percentage of US households with firearms. But, school shootings seem to be going strong. More research is needed, right?
Finally, I hear comments from young Americans online that put forward the idea that they should have guns in order to kill tyrants. Like, oh, the president and other elected officials. If Boston didn't demonstrate to these young traitor... Ahem, firebrands what would result from such actions, I have to conclude that the most fervent gun rights supporters are living in a delusional video-game dream, where you can shoot 10,000 sentient aliens with a complex civilization and yet never have them evaluate the threat and then take effective action in retaliation.
Oh, wait...
Fri, 2013-05-03 18:06
Unfortunate, but 62 of 319 million people in the US works out to 1 chance in 5 million per annum. About as likely as getting hit by lightning. This is a remarkably low rate given the huge number of firearms in the country. Of the 219 kids intentionally murdered with guns, many were undoubtedly criminals. The rough numbers are that about 90% of murders are felons and about 85% of their victims are also felons. That is why gun-control which only affects the law-abiding generally has no effect on crime.
Fri, 2013-05-03 23:58
We so easily forget that all firearms are potentially deadly weapons by design and manufacture. Other things that can kill, like knives and cars and backyard pools, are designed and manufactured for practical use in our daily lives; it is their "off-label" or neglectful use that kills. On the other hand, guns can kill when used according to the manufacturers' directions.
Given that all firearms are potentially deadly by design, they belong in a category with explosives and toxins and other dangerous substances; that is, they have their uses, but must be used with extraordinary respect and care by people who know how to handle them safely. No one, I suspect, would think of giving a 5 year old a stick of dynamite or even fireworks explosives.
For decades, guns have killed an average of 30,000 people a year in this country, and in recent years, the number of gun deaths has risen. In contrast, traffic fatalities are dropping dramatically. Thirty-five years ago, there were almost 55,000 traffic deaths a year, over one and one-half times the number of gun deaths. But over the years, due to the manufacture of safer vehicles, restricted privileges for young drivers, and seat-belt and other laws, the number of traffic deaths has fallen. By 2015 it is likely that there will be fewer traffic deaths than gun deaths.
No one threatened to take away our cars. We simply stepped up to the responsibility of owning and driving a potentially dangerous vehicle. We register our cars, obtain a license after learning how to drive safely, buy insurance, and accept that some people, like those who are intoxicated, should not be allowed to drive. We support laws that make driving safer.
Cars are different from guns, of course, in that for a great many of us, owning a car or truck is a necessity in daily living, and we all understand the need to make driving safer. Guns are very rarely a necessity in daily living, and most people in the US don't own any. So it's harder politically to make the case for gun safety. But as the number of gun deaths and injuries continues to rise, and the hideousness of mass shootings continues to shock us, the politics of gun safety will change.
If we treat guns with the same healthy respect that we treat our cars, and acknowledge that with rights come grave responsibilities, we can reduce the number of gun deaths just as dramatically as we have traffic deaths.

Out of the roughly 75 million minors in the US, 62 of them were killed by accidental gun shots last year. Of course that says nothing as to how many of those accidents were caused by other children- undoubtedly not all of them. Maybe not even half of them. So all we know for sure from this stat is about .00000082% of children in the US were killed by accidental gun shots last year and the % that were caused by other children is even less than that. So applying reason and not emotion to these numbers I'm not at all convinced that giving a young child a firearm under proper conditions is "utterly insane." And what we'll never know is how many gun accidents are prevented each year because individuals learned gun safety at a young age.
Sun, 2013-05-05 16:08
Children die every year. thousands die by drowning - some in plastic buckets, some in toilets, some in pools. thousands die because their parents were careless or stupid. Focusing on guns is unwise. Do you want to register and test potential parents? Cost vs. benefit. 62 children die by guns, thousands of children die by drowning. Are swimming pools registered? plastic buckets? toilets?
Tue, 2013-05-07 22:37
I had hoped, upon seeing the headline for this article, that it would have been an example of reason, however tempered by emotion. Instead, we got the same old same old.
I agree that leaving any firearm in the hand of an unsupervised child is indefensible. I agree that something is dreadfully wrong with the present form of gun ownership. I DON'T agree that those of us who strongly advocate that the Cartridge Box is as important in the defense of a free people as the Ballot Box, the Soap Box and the Jury Box are all nuts.
My father (a hunter) first taught me to shoot at his side when I was 5 and 6--both with a rifle and a bow--and any handling of weapons was always under his direct supervision at the local range or nearby gravel pit (the local shooting area). That is a very different thing from what the story about the tragic shooting tells.
Of course, the ethos of gun ownership was somewhat different when I was a boy--perhaps representing a high-water mark, in fact.
That being said, let's not forget that at the heart of the American Mythos of violence are such things as genocide, market hunting and ecological devastation--all true events from our history as yet unaddressed by any sort of Truth and Reconciliation. In our time, also, we are all exposed to the media folk-tale of the cowboy cop and the anti-terrorist torturer.
There is this, too: We will our culture with many dangerous things. Big pickup trucks and SUVs in our suburbs, toxic and hormone disruptive chemicals in our air, our water and our food, heavy metal industrial waste everywhere... (and the list could go on and on and on). It seems that these dangers--each one killing as many or more North Americans as guns--don't carry with them the fear that somewhere, someday an angry mob of the impoverished and disenfranchised will organize themselves and enter the suburbs with intent for some "pay back". (So far, all we've seen is the occasional crazy shooter or bomber who always seems to get a gun or a bomb, no matter what we do.)
There is much I would change both about our society and our relationship with violence and the gun. Now, though, I am very reluctant to hand even more power over to entities which have proven untrustworthy with the power they already hold. A nation that tortures or kills children with death robots from the skies cannot be trusted to disarm its citizens.
And, finally, there is this: The author cites the quick passage of the USAPATRIOT Act as counter-example as to what hasn't happened with the gun debate. His use of the example is a bit disingenuous, for if we HAD all given into post-massacre hysteria (as we all did post 9-11), a wide variety of anti-gun measures would have been quickly passed into law. I think the author knows this. It was only that some people--all them "gun nuts" out here like me--who put on the breaks so that we COULD have a debate.
(I'd like to hear from the author, if possible. Email p e t e r t h o o p e r >at< g m a i 1 calm.)

What kind of machine were you playing it on? I have my settings maxed and it looks pretty good. But MMOs generally aren't focused on too much flash anyway. I actually find the graphics to be very hand crafted as was their intent, and enjoy them. I do know what you mean though, if anyone is looking for hyper realism then they need to look elsewhere.
I played it at my friends house, and i liked the gameplay because it was so similar to eq1 and i really like everquest so yup, but the graphics turned me off, its a good game though.

Can someone explain to me the general idea of a MMORPG? I loved WarCraft III and would like to try this one out.
From what I can gather, you meet up with a bunch of people. Now, when you join a clan (party, whatever) do you all set out on the same quest and fight the same enemies? Are there quests designed specifically for parties (meaning they require 5+ players to beat)? I realize these are pretty general and rookie questions...gotta start somewhere I guess
