Consultative Exams: What are they? Why are they conducted? And how they may benefit you?
Consultative examinations are medical exams paid for by the Social Security Administration (SSA). They are conducted by either an independent M.D. or psychologist. These doctors do not work directly for the SSA, but are simply independent doctors who are contracted by the SSA for the purpose of conducting the exams.
Why are they conducted?
Consultative examinations are conducted to obtain additional needed documentation to make a medical decision on a disability case. The results of this exam will help the Administrative Law Judge determine whether your claim is favorable or unfavorable. The SSA may find a claimant a good candidate for a consultative exam if they do not have a primary care physician or if they have not had any recent medical treatment.
Benefits of Consultative Examinations
Consultative examinations may benefit the claimant's case because they may provide additional diagnoses or limitations not addressed in the claimant's file. It is also important to note that these exams are paid for by the SSA, with no out-of-pocket costs to the claimant. These exams may solidify the case by adding objective evidence in favor of the claimant, which may be missing from their file. If the results from a consultative exam lean in favor of the claimant's case, it would be increasingly difficult, on the part of the disability examiner, to take a position that opposes the claimant's case.

Here's a clip from 1942 showing Goodman and his band playing for all those young hipsters jitterbugging in the rain. Your grandparents weren't always old. They were just as young and sexy as you think you are. They could really dance, unlike you with that controlled spasm you call dancing. Check out Grandmere Mimi sliding in the rain for a photographer.
Another movie clip with Goodman in the unlikely role of square professor playing with Lionel Hampton.
Here's a brief clip from 1937 showing Goodman and his band playing part of their signature tune "Sing Sing Sing" with solos by Harry James, Goodman, and Gene Krupa, who looks high as a kite (and probably was).
For all you hardcore fans, here's the whole "Sing Sing Sing," all 9 minutes of it.
Not bad for a poor Jewish kid from Chicago whose father worked in a lard factory.

The first was a BMW. Wha'ts so pimp about a BMW? It had a body kit. :/
The second was... it looked like an older eclipse. It had been so pimped that I didn't quite know what it was. It had one of those spoilers (the carbon-fibery weird shaped ones), and a body kit. It had one winning point. It was white, blue, and purple.
Grr, I ate an apple, and now I feel ill.

text: Adem's Story Most of us think nothing of travelling in a car. For Adem, it means everything. Adem has severe autism. For four years, he refused to leave his bedroom, except to eat and drink. Twenty-three hours of seeing nothing but four walls. Twenty-three hours by himself. Zero hours of contact with the outside world. And just seeing the car in the driveway was enough to make him shake and cry with fear. Something had to change. It was very, very small steps that took Adem from the confines of his bedroom out into the world. Three years ago, he had no words. Now he can say which drink he wants. Now he can choose what he watches on his iPad. Now he asks to go on 'the bus' (his own name for the car his residential home uses) – and he asks every day. But it took a lot of time (years not months), incredible patience, and a huge amount of encouragement from Adem's keyworker, Adam – and his other support workers – to get Adem to start engaging in life again. Everyone at Norwood believes that people should live the life they choose, irrespective of their ability. And Adem was no exception. Because they all believed in Adem, Adam and his colleagues were prepared to do whatever it took to give Adem a better quality of life. Thanks to their patience, commitment, perseverance and deep understanding of Adem's needs, Adem has come so far. Once Adem spent 23 hours a day in his room. Now he spends time with his housemates and enjoys his car journeys to the local area. Once Adem would get so distressed he would lash out, kick and self harm. Now he's able to communicate his needs, he's much calmer. Once Adem was in a very dark place. Now he's happier and more confident. It's been a long journey for Adem to get to where he is now and he still has a long way to go, but so far he has exceeded all expectations.

Rainbow Colored ②
2017.12.2 – Ishimori Nijika
Good evening woof U・x・U
Good work this week!
Also, from today, it's December~~
Will snow begin to fall?
Although Tokyo's coldness still has a bit to go… ^^
What steps do you take against the cold?
It's a battle for me everyday, living when it's cold (°_°)
Fluffy socks really save me everyday!
As I'm a person whose feet get cold and body gets cold, so there are times where I stick handwarmers into my socks♩
But recommend this!
This month, the January edition of 『anan』releases on December 13 ♩
The theme is warmth!
And then…
I'm very thankful for the 7 person front page. Also, Keyakizaka46, and Hiragana Keyakizaka46 all appear!
I'm truly happy.
In the past, I really admired the members who were able to appear ^^
Secretly, in my heart, I thought "I'll do my best in order to appear in this magazine!"
After the photo shooting, an embarrassing thing happened. I was so moved that I cried. After the shooting, my eyes became swollen as a result… (sweat)
I'm happy to have met so many kind and wonderful staff.
As writing too much will make my happiness go away… ^^
The January edition of 『anan』releases on December 13 ♩
Deliberately read it please ♫
A small thing…
Stay warm tomorrow too, okay… ♡
Ishimori Nijika
Translated by: Shino
You can find the raws here. I might skip a few Rainbow Colored or do them out of order.

Most new carpets shed. This is normal and should not be a concern. Even if it sheds what you would consider a lot, it's likely still normal, especially for a carpet with a heavy, dense pile. The shed fibers that you see are usually just a small portion of those in the carpet, and unless your carpet is a defect, the shedding should stop, and your carpet be just as plush and dense as it was on the first day it was installed.
Step 1
Use a vacuum with adequate suction and a roller brush or adjustable height feature for the pile type of your carpet. The best way to improve the suction of the vacuum you currently own is to check the bag frequently and replace it as needed. If you own a bag-less vacuum, dump it frequently. Also take off the bottom carpet attachment on the vacuum cleaner and manually remove as much of the hair, fibers and other debris as you can. Then look at the hose connector and inside the vacuum hose. There may be more hair, fibers and debris stuck in those places, as well, that you can easily pull out to improve the suction.
Step 2
Vacuum your carpet soon after it's installed and before you put your furniture back in place. This will help remove the initial fibers that may have shed in the first couple of days.
Step 3
Continue to vacuum on a regular basis. Every day or every other day may be necessary the first couple of weeks. Within a month or two, the shedding should slow down, and within a year, it should cease completely.

Man, my Harpy has the same exact issue where the hair meets the shoulder on her left. Those talons were hard to distinguish from the flashing, so I can see how a quick snip turns into an "oh sh*t" moment. Good luck on the paint. I'll be watching to get some ideas for mine (she and a couple others are sitting in the pile; bathed in primer, and waiting for a brush).
Keep it coming!

After a New York Police Department officer was recorded screaming at an Uber driver in New York City's West Village during a traffic stop on Monday, the NYPD has reassigned him.
Patrick Cherry, previously a detective in the NYPD's elite Joint Terrorism Task Force, has been transferred, effective immediately, according to a statement from NYPD Commissioner William J. Bratton.
"No good cop should watch that without a wince," Bratton said in the statement.
"Because all good cops know that officer just made their jobs a little bit harder. In that kind of encounter, anger like that is unacceptable. In any encounter, discourtesy and obscene language like that is unacceptable. That officer's behavior reflected poorly on everyone who wears our uniform."
On Monday afternoon, an officer pulled over an Uber driver, identified only as Humayun, for a traffic violation and then went on an angry tirade, making fun of the Uber driver's broken English and mocking him.
"The only reason you're not in handcuffs going to jail is because I have things to do," Cherry said.
The entire interaction was filmed by the Uber driver's passenger, Sanjay Seth, and was uploaded to YouTube.
"Police abuse of Uber driver in New York City," Seth says in the video's description.
"In an unmarked car, the policeman was allegedly attempting to park without using his blinker at a green light. (His reverse lights weren't on. Likely double parked without hazards on.) The Uber driver pulled around and gestured that he should use his blinker, casually and non-offensively, and kept driving us. The policeman quickly pulls up behind us and this is what happens."
Seth later testified against the officer once the video went viral:
—Sanjay Seth (@sanjayseth) April 1, 2015
Cherry says to the driver: "I don't know where you're coming from, where you think you're appropriate in doing that; that's not the way it works. How long have you been in this country?"
"Stop it with your mouth, stop it with your, 'For what, sir?'" Cherry says to the Uber driver. "Stop it ... and realize the three vehicle and traffic law violations you committed."
The unmarked car Cherry used to pull over the Uber driver doesn't belong to the NYPD, the Daily News reports. Cherry was on his way to work after seeing another police officer, who was in the hospital.
The Uber driver filed a complaint after the three-minute interaction, the Daily News reports.
Here's Uber's statement from spokesperson Matt Wing:
"The behavior in the video is wrong and unacceptable and we appreciate the NYPD investigating the incident. We are in touch with our driver-partner who was subjected to this terrible experience and will continue to provide any support he needs."

Review Overview
Summary : A Cute and Challenging Word Game
If you are one of those people who love playing word based video games on their Android devices, then Alphabear is just what the doctor ordered. I was skeptical about yet another word game but the game managed not only to impress me but fast became one of my favorite ones too. Alphabear might sound like a story of a strong alpha bear but it turns out the game is about the alphabet bears.
It is a simple word based game which shows a bunch of alphabets on screen and you have to make words out of them. This is the basic premise behind this soon to be a mega hit word game for Android. Alphabear might seem a little complicated at first but before you know it, you have spent most of the night playing the game.
The game shows you a grid like screen where alphabets are displayed randomly. You need to make words involving those displayed alphabets. However the teddy bear you select is also right on the grid and grows as you make words. The words you make disappear from the board, taken the alphabets used with them too. As the bear grows, the current level score also increases and in the end everything is calculated to produce the final score.
That's not all though, if you ignore an alphabet for long, it will turn into a brick and become unusable. These challenges combined with different kinds of bears which provide various perks makes Alphabear one of the most exciting games to grace the Google Play Store. The game is completely free and doesn't even come with intrusive ads. I really like the friendly and welcoming interface and the soft color style of the game. The 2D graphics are presented really well and are pleasing to the eyes. I will continue to play the game for a long while and I highly recommend it.

Hey you. Yes, YOU! So tell me. What are you happy about today? Is it the fact that perhaps you got to have a sleep in OR maybe you got a free upgrade from a medium to large at BOOST JUICE / STARBUCKS? Well mine was actually feeling a lot better after having a dreadful week of being sick. The flu, a cold, headaches… ahh the list goes on. And on top of that, uni started on Monday and I missed my first day – great start to a fresh new semester! Haha.
But that's okay, because that gave me the perfect opportunity to sit down and appreciate little things in life. I don't sit down nearly enough to take in life and appreciate what I have. I'm constantly wishing what more could I have? What more could I do? But you know what, there are already things that should make you smile. Even the simplest of things. Here are some of my favourite things that make me smile!
1. Opening the curtains/blinds in the morning and letting the sunlight in
2. Finding a good book that you just can't put down
3. Sleeping early – and I mean EARLY!
4. The warmth of heater on a chilly day – ahh cosy movie night in, anyone?
5. Putting moisturiser on after your skin feels super stretched and dry
6. Cleaning a horribly messy room (clothes on the table, beauty products EEERRY where, ya feel?)
7. Finding the sweetest Strawberry (this is what I live for)
8. CHRISTMAS COOKIE candle scent taking over the room – Christmas in July?
9. Having a good run/walk on the treadmill after not exercising for AGESSSS
10. Getting a good grade on an assignment you did the night before (We've all been there right, how good does it feel?!)
11. Buying something on sale and seeing the prices go back up a few days later
12. Rainy days spent watching movies, without a worry in the world. (Okay so, this is actually very true but here's a confession: I just HAD to make my list an even number, OCD central!)
What are some of your 'make you smile' moments? x

Learn android - android tutorial - Ratingbar in android - android examples - android programs
- A RatingBar is an extension of SeekBar and ProgressBar that shows a rating in stars. The user can touch/drag or use arrow keys to set the rating when using the default size RatingBar.
- The smaller RatingBar style (ratingBarStyleSmall) and the larger indicator-only style (ratingBarStyleIndicator) do not support user interaction and should only be used as indicators.
- When using a RatingBar that supports user interaction, placing widgets to the left or right of the RatingBar is discouraged.
- The number of stars set (via setNumStars(int) or in an XML layout) will be shown when the layout width is set to wrap content (if another layout width is set, the results may be unpredictable).
- The secondary progress should not be modified by the client as it is used internally as the background for a fractionally filled star.
- A rating is the evaluation or assessment of something, in terms of quality, quantity, or some combination of both.
- Rating may also refer to:
- Credit rating, estimating the credit worthiness of an individual, corporation or country
- Fire-resistance rating, the duration for a passive fire protection to withstand a standard fire resistance test
- Naval rating, an enlisted member of a country's Navy not conferred by commission or warrant
- Health care provider ratings
- Performance Rating, in computing, used by AMD
- Ranally city rating, a tool used to classify U.S. cities based on economic function
- Power rating, defined as the highest power input allowed to flow through particular equipment
- Content rating, like the following:
- Web content voting, a system where users rate Web content
- Rating site, website that allows rating
- Reputation system, a score for a set of objects within the community based on a collection of opinions

Carol asks…
What is the best acne treatment for oily skin?
Any products that you guys have used personally and have worked for you??? Anyone with oily skin….
admin answers:
I have super oily skin and the only thing that's helped me was using Proactive. I've been using Proactive for a while now and it works amazingly! I haven't had a breakout in a while, and if I do get a little acne, it goes away fast. I just wish I could get rid of these scars
But some people have different results so you may want to try it first. Proactive is giving out free samples on their website, just look for the small free sample icon and it'll lead you through a series of steps, or go to the direct link here http://www.freesamplesfromheaven.com/proactive-solution-free-sample
Good luck, I hope that helps
Sharon asks…
Would this be a good facial mask to reduce acne and oily skin?
2 teaspoons of oatmeal, 2 teaspoons of honey, some squirts of pure rosewater, a tiny bit of pure lemon juice and a tiny bit of water mixed together as a facial mask to reduce acne and oily skin. My skin is not sensitive. If this does work, how many times a week should I use this treatment? Any suggestions to make this treatment better? Thanks!
admin answers:
Yes its great. Oatmeal helps to make skin less oily, honey makes your skin glow, rosewater is amazing for acne and for blackheads, and lemon helps with scars. You should use this 2 times a week . One in the begginning of the week and one in the end, if you would like. And if it doesnt work ,application of just natural honey twice a day should do the trick. Hope you look fabulous after this! <3 ciao.
Mark asks…
what is the best acne treatment product?
I have been trying to find a good acne/blemish product for oily skin that actually works. Not really looking for anything that requires you to order on an auto shipment; would prefer something I could try and buy more if it actually works for me.
Please only answer if you have tried it and have had good results and if so where you can typically get it?
admin answers:
Ok so before i tell you this just keep in mind that what works for my skin may not work for your skin
I have been using LUSH's Dark angels facial cleanser (its black and made of charcoal which is great for getting rid of excess oils on your face) i used it about 1 year ago, and my skin instantly cleared up…but this goes bad after 3 month since it is so fresh…and i had no time to go back to LUSH so i started using different things such as the philosophy purity is simple and loreal 360 go clean..none of these things worked for me..it actually kind of made my acne worse
So my sister goes to school in the city where lush is located, so i asked her to pick me up a few things on her way back..i totally forgot to ask her to get dark angels because i was so focused on getting two other things, which was the tea tree oil toner, and grease lightning acne spot treatment
i heard soo many things about these products and how it was supposed to remove acne since they both had tea tree oil in it…i used the grease lightning and it did nothing for my face, so i gave it to my friend and it cleared up her skin, but then again she has dry skin and i have oily..it kinda gace my face the feeling that it was dirty right after i applied it after i washed my face
the tea tree water didnt improve my skin at all, but it did make my face feel fresh after i washed it so i continued to use it to get off any excess dirt..
So 2 days ago i went to the city and picked up the dark angels facial cleanser and i used it…it has only been 2 days, and yet my skin is almost cleared up ( i only break out on the forehead)…..
I also made a mask of this by taking dark angels facial cleanser and mixing it with aspirin (uncoated) and honey
IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY ON DARK ANGELS (it can be pretty pricey but it will last u a long time)
alternative (Charcoal face mask)
u will need
- charcoal tablets
-aloe vera gel
- honey
- sugar
-vitamin e oil
- tea tree oil
add about 2 tablets to a dish
then squeeze in a squirt of aloe vera gel and a squirt of honey
add a teaspoon of sugar
and half a teaspoon of vitamin e oil
and around 3 drops of tea tree oil
Mix well
and apply to face and wait for it to dry..i would leave it on for about 20 min to get the full effect
then, wash your face and mouisterize as usual
LUSH has many things that will help rid acne…such as their other cleansers like aquamarina, fresh farmacy, and coalface…i tried all these but dark angels was the best
Also u can try their cupcake mask..its basically a chocolate mask great for scarring on your face.
U can make it yourself if u want by mixing cocoa powder, honey, plain yogurt in a bowl =)
Hope i helped

PLAINFIELD – All 3,750 Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202 water sources comply with the new State of Illinois standard for lead in water, according to a district news release.
These final tests came after two previous rounds of testing. The first results were released in August, which found six drinking fountains and 59 sinks in 15 different district schools noncompliant with the state standard.
District 202 said at the time that lead removal filters would be installed at each of the noncompliant water sources and would be retested before the first day of school Aug. 17.
The second round of testing still found 31 sinks to have too much lead, and at that point the district said it would shut down those sources until they met the standard.
The new law requires all public school districts to test water sources by the end of the year in schools serving preschool through fifth grade in buildings built before Jan. 1, 1987. District 202 decided to test all water sources in all district buildings, even those that weren't schools.
The state law does not address schools built after 2000 or schools serving students in grades six through 12. The General Assembly can change the law until June 30, 2019, according to the release.
The new state law passed last January put in a lower standard of five parts per billion, as opposed to the federal law standard of 15 parts per billion.
The final reports and other information is available at the district website.

Distillation is used to separate liquid organic wastes, primarily spent solvents, for full or partial recovery and reuse. Both halogenated and nonhalogenated solvents can be recovered via distillation. Liquids to be separated must have different volatilities. Distillation for recovery is limited by the presence of volatile or thermally reactive suspended solids. If constituents in the input waste stream form an azeotrope (a specific mixture of liquids exhibiting maximum or minimum boiling point with the individual constituents), the energy cost to break the azeotrope can be prohibitive.
Batch distillation in a heated still pot with condensation of overhead vapors is easily controlled and flexible, but cannot achieve the high product quality typical of continuous fractional distillation. Small, packaged-batch stills treating one drum or less per day are becoming popular for on-site recovery of solvents. Continuous fractional distillation is accomplished in tray columns or packed columns ranging up to 40 ft in diameter and 200 ft high. Each is equipped with a reboiler, a condenser, and an accumulator. Unit capacity is a function of the processed waste, purity requirements, reflux ratios, and heat input. Fractional distillation is not applicable to liquids with high viscosity at high temperature, liquids with high solid concentrations, polyurethanes, or inorganics.

What is pét nat, the naturally sparkling wine that's a hit with hipsters?
There's been quite a buzz around 'pét nats' recently – which sounds rather like a plague of friendly flies but happily is not. Pétillants naturels are naturally sparkling wines that are produced with little intervention by the winemaker.
Pét nats are made with only one fermentation. The grape juice is bottled just as it's turning into wine and stoppered with a crown cap, which traps any ensuing carbon dioxide in the liquid as bubbles.
By the time the wine is ready, it is gently fizzy and a little cloudy. That's because there's no disgorgement (when the yeast sediment is removed from twice-fermented champagne-method wines), and usually no filtration or sulphur added at the end.

Authenticity appears to be the virtue du jour for many Christians. But Dietrich Bonhoeffer wasn't just talking about authenticity; he was actually living it. The Lutheran pastor-theologian was eventually hanged for conspiring to kill Adolf Hitler. In Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy (Thomas Nelson), author Eric Metaxas uncovers the person behind such Christian classics as The Cost of Discipleship and Life Together. CT editor at large Collin Hansen spoke with Metaxas about Bonhoeffer's life and legacy.
What inspired you to begin studying Bonhoeffer?
My mother grew up in Nazi Germany, losing her father during the war. He was one of many reluctant German soldiers forced to participate in a war he was against. The history of this painful period has always haunted me. When I first heard in 1988 about Bonhoeffer and his death at the hands of the Nazis, I was staggered. I couldn't believe I had never heard about it before. The idea that a man, because of his Christian faith, would stand up to Hitler and would give his life just astonished me.
Would you describe Bonhoeffer as an evangelical? What distinguished his views from the prevailing liberal theology of his professors, including Adolf von Harnack?
That is what's so amazing. Bonhoeffer is more like a theologically conservative evangelical than anything else. He was as orthodox as Saint Paul or Isaiah, from his teen years all the way to his last day on earth. But it seems that theological liberals have somehow made Bonhoeffer in their own image, mainly based on the fact that he studied at Union Theological Seminary in New York, and that he wanted to visit Mahatma Gandhi, and that he used the phrase "religionless Christianity" in a letter.
But if you look deeper, you'll see ...1

Franchisee disillusionment can lead to litigation, distrust
By Kirsten McMahon, Managing Editor
In the first instalment of a two-part series exploring an uptick in franchisee disappointment, Toronto franchise lawyer Joseph Adler discusses common fracture points in the franchisor-franchisee relationship.
Recent class-action lawsuits brought against franchisors and parent companies by franchisees represent just one illustration of an overall disappointment by franchisees with the system, Toronto franchise lawyer Joseph Adler tells AdvocateDaily.com.
"There is an uptick in franchisee disappointment, and it's not only reflected in class-action lawsuits," says Adler, partner with Hoffer Adler LLP. "Groups of franchisees are banding together and forming associations, which are becoming more active and aggressive."
He points to several high-profile examples in the North American restaurant world.
"Franchising is not simply restaurant-based, but restaurants are probably the most well-known example of franchising," he says, noting one U.S.-based burger chain that is experiencing growing unrest within the ranks of its franchisees.
"A group of its franchisees formed an association that recently issued a lawsuit and has been potentially successful in forcing the franchisor to sell the system to a potential suitor," Adler says. "Franchisees were experiencing downward sales, lacklustre product development, and claim the franchisor lacks a cohesive brand strategy."
He notes the chain wasn't willing to engage in the value wars that some of their competitors have engaged in. The franchisor resisted reducing the price of some of its product line because it felt it would diminish the brand.
"Now they are looking at a potential sale of the entire system as a result of this disillusionment that's been going on for more than two years," Adler says.
Closer to home, a group of Quebec franchisees is suing a Canadian coffee chain, alleging the company's actions have been detrimental to them.
"There's a similar disappointment by Quebec franchisees of this chain," Adler says. "They claim the franchisee-funded advertising reserve isn't being properly utilized and say the franchisor has unrealistically ambitious business goals."
While the franchisor is doing everything possible to turn it around — including plans to sell recreational cannabis at some stores — they are being hammered by competitors.
"One of the complaints is that the franchisor entered into a licensing agreement to sell frozen desserts, which required franchisees to purchase equipment," he says. "Another franchisee grievance is that the franchisor is not passing down the economies of scale."
Adler says these complaints are not unique to this coffee chain.
"Common themes are allegations of advertising fund misuse or allocation, overcharging of supplies, higher product pricing, declining revenues, and forced equipment purchases," he says.
"This leads to an overall disappointment with the franchise system as a whole and franchisees are more emboldened as of late to turn to the franchisor and say, 'Hey, you didn't promise that we would be successful but we are counting on you, and you need to increase our chances for success.'"
Adler points to one of the world's largest restaurant chains as a more positive example.
"There's an attempt by the franchisor to upgrade more than 14,000 stores, at a cost of between $160,000 to $750,000 per restaurant," Adler says. "Requiring a franchisee to take all of their profit and pump it back into the store to upgrade the look and feel is a big ask."
He says the franchisor has offered to help subsidize a portion of each store's upgrade and has provided financial incentive to complete it as quickly as possible.
"The franchisor has agreed to pay 55 per cent of the cost to upgrade if the franchisee can transform the store by 2020," Adler says. "Here's an example where the franchisor is probably telling the franchisees that if they upgrade, they will see a difference in the bottom line."
He says good franchisors are more likely to test the market on their own corporate locations before they roll it out system-wide.
"However, part of the problem is that there are so many factors at play when it comes to the success of a franchisee," Adler says.
Stay tuned for part two where Adler will delve into franchisee disillusionment as it relates to advertising reserves.

"Ninja Kombat 2600"
freshbrood posted a topic in Homebrew DiscussionFreshbroods_NinjaKombat.bas.binIf anyone is interested, I feel my "proof of concept" passion project has come along enough now to upload it and show you what is possible. I've been fiddling with this off and on for a couple years now. Firstly, this is my very 1st game designed on anything, anywhere. I know zilch about assembly or any other programming language. I delved into Batari Basic as a learning experiment and intro. I know we all prefer originals, but I found a template of an existing game was easier to follow while I learned. While I appreciate all the efforts I've seen from other homebrewers to create fighting games on the VCS, I just knew it was more capable of what's out there now. Some notes: This is a "pixel perfect" version. What I mean by that is that I wanted to recreate as faithfully as possible the higher def graphics using the chunky pixels in Batari- Instead of fighting the program I tried to work within it. Using the more "svelt" bodytype of the MK3 ninja fit very nicely into the 8pixel wide/doublewide frame of batari. I painstakingly studied and overlayed the batari grid over actual Sega Genesis graphics then tweaked them to look as close as possible. (still being tweaked) including jumping arc, height and attack reaches. (still working on the speeds, telegraphs & hit strenghts) but it is possible to get a very playable version that feels like a newer gen I think. I hope you enjoy what I have so far. I'd say it's about 65% complete) The missile has flicker, but at least I can have fully detailed and custom multi colored missiles. I even have barely enough variables left over to create homing missles while the player moves about. (Not implemented- Maybe in "Ninja Kombat 2" There is no sound yet. Not my forte, but if anyone is inspired by what you've seen so far and would like to contribute, I would credit you, maybe even pay a small fee or create a pixel art version of your face and add you as a character? As limited as my knowledge is, I tried to focus on style and substance. Gameplay is #1, graphics a close 2nd. The chunky pixels actually work in favor as every character is a pallete swap but with multiple colors that make them look distinguishable. MK is easier to do than SF2 imo because of the similar body types and fighting styles, but each character will not only have different specials, but also different speeds and hits (when I'm done. Not there yet but very possible to implement- i.e. a fast but weaker uppercut vs. a slower but stronger one) I've tried to recycle sprites as much as humanly possible to get a nice, natural anthropomorphic movement. (Low and high punches for throwing missiles, recycled spin ani for throws, etc..) Holding down+fire while jumping is punch. Just fire- long kick, fire+up, highkick, fire+back, roundhouse.. Others should be intuitive. Standing block will be ala SF2 so you continue to move instead of freezing in place. If hit while holding away, block sprite activates. All specials are down, back, fire.. down, forward, fired.. or rapid down/up. (Not only ease of programming but works better with the stick imo) Yes, I know many are still broken. Still a work in progress.. I am very nearly maxed out on graphic/sprite space.. but there will be fatalities.. of some sort. Anyways.. I've removed a lot of the hit detection and damage- also no A.I. yet in player 2- still working on it. Alot of junk code and notes will be removed by final. Please let me know your thoughts so far, and if you happen to discover any "intentional glitches" please keep those a secret for now so other players can enjoy them! *For a 2p game/demo press Joy1fire on the select screen.

Porting the newest version of Stella to the PSP.
RamrodHare posted a topic in EmulationI've been looking for a newer version of Stella for the PSP and haven't had any luck finding one. I don't know anything about what's involved in porting Stella to the PSP and doubt I'd be able to do it on my own. I know Stella for the PC is still being updated, but does anyone know if there is someone still working on porting it to the PSP or if there is someone with the skills and the free time to do so? If there's any documentation on how to do it, I'd be willing to give it a shot myself. The reason I'm so interested, is because I carry my PSP and use it as my main portable system, since it's able to emulate so many different consoles. I play 2600 games more than anything else, but some of my favorite games won't work on the latest PSP version of Stella which seems to be from 2009. Also, if you guys think I might have more luck on a dedicated PSP forum, I'd be willing to give that a shot, if anyone can recommend a good PSP site.
Confused 2-port and 4-port 5200.
Atari the Jedi posted a topic in Atari 5200SO I have had a 2-port 5200 for years didn't realize there was even a 4-port until a few years ago. But I see a few things that are different. First off my 2-port controller door has a textured finish, the 4-port does not. Secondly the 2-port door appears to be solid, whereas the 4-port I can vaguly see through it, like smoked glass. Sor of like the grill where the power light comes through. Also the 4-port dosen't use that RF-all in one box deal it has a seprate powwer supply like the 2-port does. I have never seen another 4-port that hasn't used the box before, is this common. Also my 2-port states "Sears discontinued" Sticker on the bottom...a sad reminder. I am confused is either one worth more than the other? I think I'll just keep one in the bedroom and the other in Living room so I'm covered any where I am at home
On Retrousb.com they sell a Vs Super Mario Bros cartridge for the nes. What I was wondering, is, Would it be possible to Port Vs Duck Hunt to the nes as well since I heard it has many differences compared to the nes version.
Commodore 64 ports to Colecovision
David Alexander posted a topic in ColecoVision / AdamI am new to the Colecovision scene but I have noticed in the threads that Flappy Bird & Space Taxi are being ported to the Colecovision. I even read about Zelda for the CV so I thought since that's possible why not some classics like Archon, Trap Door, Mail order Monster, etc. Is there any interest in the community to have some C64 all time classics ported to the CV. thanks
Wanted: Atari 5200 2 port + s-video and composite modifiedThis thread is asleep for now. I'll wake it up at a later time. Hey everyone.

I just got an intellivision flashback a day or so ago. And shortly after, I thought, What games would have been great for the intellivision? My list: space invaders, Ms. Pacman, Miner 2049er, asteroids, River Raid, Beamrider, frogger, Star Wars, the empire strikes back, defender, Starmaster, H.E.R.O.,Gigolo, and Stampede. ,
Hello there! I've been trying to confirm serial port operation with Altirra/x64 2.40 (800 OS-B NTSC / 48K). What I'd like to do ideally is redirect the screen print output (typically using POKE'ing X,Y cursor screen location) to the serial port. Failing that a method of just sending the same print screen data to the serial port. Before doing that of course (if possible!), I'd like to test the serial port emulation in Altirra using R: How is this configured to test the functionality with a terminal emulator such as Putty? -ChromaBurst
Does anyone remember the game "Chicken" on 800xl, I used to play it daily it had really simple gameplay similar to frogger and was very addictive. I'm wondering if anyone has done a 5200 port, I would love to have the rom on my atarimax sd cart! If there isn't a conversion for "chicken" maybe a port of "freeway" from the 2600 system?
Seaquest for the 800
phaeron posted a topic in Atari 8-Bit ComputersAfter my experience with 2600 Midnight Magic and the response I decided to try a whack at porting a simpler but motion oriented game, Seaquest. I don't intend to make a career out of porting 2600 games -- for sanity reasons, if nothing else -- but this was a fun little game I remember that was good for quick runs growing up, and I figured I'd try a game that was a bit more sprite heavy. Again, this is a close-as-possible port of the original 2600 game, based on the original binary code. Porter's comments: Midnight Magic was a 16K banked game, but Seaquest is just 4K. No banking to rip out. This time the porting cost was +0.5KB. Joystick 1/2 for controls, Start for Game Reset, Select for Game Select (1 or 2 players), Option flips both left and right difficulty. B&W/Color hardwired to Color. Default is easy difficulty, switching to hard slows down the shots. Like many 2600 games, this was made for NTSC and it will play slower and with a bit funny colors on PAL. Sorry, but the game doesn't have fraction tables and PAL GTIA colors are significantly different, and I'm porting these games as-is. Adaptation is an exercise left for the reader. Decoding sprite positioning from a 2600 display kernel... sucks. I had to duplicate some data to emulate player reflection. As I expected, repeating sprites would be a pain. Seaquest displays up to five 8-bit player sprites on a scanline plus a missile, so a straightforward mapping to GTIA sprites wasn't an option. Since only one of the players was repeated I reimplemented the enemies on top of the playfield. There's also quite a lot of interesting code in the game to deal with the case of you shooting out one of a group, by recomputing a new horizontal position and switching the NUSIZ1 pattern to match the remaining enemies, which took me a while to figure out (I couldn't figure out at first why the sharks were jumping when shot on some waves). If someone wants to try putting this in ROM, there was one location that I used self-modifying code (because I was lazy). Dethreading the player sub and torpedo from the entire display kernel was annoying, but the huge pain in the butt was the divers. It turned out they were rendered using the ball, by moving and re-sizing it on every scanline. Once I figured this out I was able to rip out a ton of the display kernel and remap the divers to a regular GTIA player. The entire display is shifted a bit left than I would have expected. I didn't notice this until I put in the sea bed and started comparing the position of everything. I've kept the existing positions, but one side effect is that you can spot sprites popping in on the right side. Based on the 40-bit playfield, I think this is correct and was intentional to prevent sprites from wrapping around HBLANK on the TIA, but I don't have a real 2600 to verify (the right part of the screen is cut off in Stella). Unlike MM, Seaquest does use hardware sprite collisions. Fortunately, GTIA's collision capabilities are a superset of TIA's and this was easy to map. The TIA 5-bit div 6 sound is a problem here again, this time more apparent as it affects the player shots. I've mapped it the same way, but it doesn't have the nice metallic sound. I thought about trying high speed IRQ emulation, but bands of background gradients made this difficult. seaquest.zip
OSU! For VCS
Vcsu! posted a topic in 2600 Programming For NewbiesHi guys, New to the site but, a longtime vcs fanatic. I also play OSU! on my spare time as i love elite beat agents. I was wondering how difficult it would be to create a simple port of Osu!. Here is a small video of it in action. I have been reading andrews assembly language tutorials and know some assembly language. I also own a an Atari 2600 and Harmonary cart. From read the technical specs, it looks like i will have to simplify it quite a bit. Can someone please tell me the feasibility of this? Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Vcsu!
Controller Port does not work after re solder
Norannyo posted a topic in Atari 7800Hi everyone. I tried asking this question in the other thread, however my issue has some different symptoms. I bought a Atari 7800 from the flea market, got an original power supply with it.. happy as a clam. I have a 7800 controller as well, the odd one. Issue: I plug in the controller to controller port 1, and nothing happens, I plug into controller port 2 and I have full control over player 2, but still nothing on port 1. I plugged in a sega genesis controller as I read it works with the 7800. It does the same thing, does not work on port 1, does on port 2. So I decided to try and open it up and look at the soldering points. I noticed the controller port itself moved ever so slightly when i pressed on it. Not much, but that was enough for me to think I should take a go at re soldering the pins. So i did, I suck at it, but i feel that the redo's were done with proper contact,, they are a little goopy, but they look like they should work. so I plugged everything back up, and still the same issue persists.. I'm happy that this place exists, and I am hoping that if many of you are good enough to successfully mod your 7800 to have composite video/S-video as i've been reading, that perhaps you can work with me on this to see if I can resolve it, thanks. side note, maybe I can take some pictures of my poor soldering job... but you guys know what the board already looks like I suppose.

Midnight Magic for Atari 800
phaeron posted a topic in Atari 8-Bit ComputersMidnight Magic on the Atari 2600 was one of my favorite pinball games when I was growing up, and on a whim I decided to give a shot at porting it to the 800. The results are attached. I've tried to match the original version as exactly as possible. Notes: Most of the code from the original 16K cart is in this version, including all of the physics code. I've relocated it from $9/B/D/F000 to $4000-7FFF. Thankfully, the original programmer used different addresses for the banks, which made it much easier to disassemble. What was a pain was correcting all of the false labels caused by offset indexing (LDA table-10,X) and tracking down the code that was doing LSB address comparisons and broke when the tables were moved. On the 2600, the screen is generated almost entirely using the players, with a few tiny bits done using the playfield and the missiles. The ball, well, is used for the ball. The amount of HMOVE and player repeating in the ~3K display kernel was insane and so I chucked the whole thing and rewrote a new display kernel on top of a mode E playfield, thus the bloating to 20K. It could probably be squished back into 16K for a 400 or 5200, but I was too lazy. Priority between the ball and the rollovers/unders are probably wrong in a few places since I completely redid the sprite usage. The game does not use sprite collisions, which made porting easier. All collisions are done algorithmically using an RLE collision map and a series of per-object collision routines, which take up most of the cartridge. The game runs four physics ticks per VBLANK. The audio is matched as closely as I could, with 1.79MHz 16-bit paired timers to hit the right frequencies. One notable difference is that the drop and catch targets don't quite produce the right sound -- this is because POKEY can't quite emulate the 5-bit div 3 mode. Most of the rest of the sounds just use pure tone, which was easy to map. Game Reset and Game Select have been mapped to Start and Select, and Option flips both the difficulty switches. The BW/Color switch is hardwired to Color; in the original game setting this to B&W causes the second player to run on autopilot, which I thought was useless (and took a while to track down). pinball.zip

Handy Hoof Hints, Part 5
Have you ever wondered what veterinarians think about barefoot and booting? A wealth of knowledge is now accessible to all of us. Read on to discover what today's leading experts on hoof care have to say.
Dr. Tomas Teskey, DVM
"Every horse who wears steel shoes suffers some degree of laminar separation. There is a myriad of other malfunctions that also occur in a shod hoof, and they all contribute to the hoof functioning in a completely different and abnormal fashion and it leads to a severe contraction in their size, so much so that when the shoe is removed the horses can no longer walk comfortably on their own feet.
"For the presence of steel on a horse's feet, we are able to observe profound damages that occur due to the stagnation of blood within the hoof and the diminished return of blood back up toward the heart through the veins of the lower leg. Metal shoes interfere with the hoof's natural blood-pumping mechanism. Period.
"I will never ask any client of mine to consider shoeing their horse with steel. I have conviction in my belief about this and it is unwavering. I feel that farriers and veterinarians and trainers and horse people must learn the truth about this and tell their clients, friends, and colleagues that shoeing horses damages them and robs them of years of their lives."
Dr. Tomas G. Teskey, DVM. The Unfettered Foot: A Paradigm Change for Equine Podiatry. Equine
Foot Science. 2005(25) page 78.
Dr. Robert Bowker, DVM
"The blood in horses' feet does much more than provide nutrients to hoof tissues. It also enables the unshod foot to function as a hydraulic system, in much the same way that gel-filled athletic shoes do. We need to be trimming hooves so that more of the back part of the foot––including the frog––bears the initial ground impact forces and weight. Horseshoes provide a much smaller surface area to absorb shock. So, if a bare hoof landing after a jump experiences, say, 1,000 pounds of loading per square foot, then with a traditional shoe, there's going to be 2,000 pounds per square foot."
Luca Bein, Veterinary Medical Faculty Scientist, University of Zurich, Switzerland
"In 1984, the Swiss Cavalry conducted research into the effect of metal shoeing. Studies showed that the impact force a shod hoof receives on hard ground is 10 to 33 times that of an unshod hoof. The vibration in the hoof from the shoe is approximately 800 hertz. This level of vibration is high enough to destroy living tissue."
From Horse & Rider, February 2006, "Is Barefoot Better?"
Dr. Robert Cook, FRCVS, PhD, Professor of Surgery Emeritus at Tufts
"All horses' hooves are healthier without shoes, and barefoot horses are healthier than shod horses. They live longer, happier, less painful lives. Barefoot is a requirement for health and should be accepted as a condition for keeping a horse. Humane management is not just preferable, it is non-negotiable. The foot evolved to function unshod. Nature has developed the perfect design for grip and slide in all conditions and provided for unsurpassable shock absorption. The foot cannot expand and contract with each step when clamped. Blood supply to the foot is impoverished and horn production becomes deficient. When the foot is prevented from functioning correctly, the pastern, fetlock, cannon, and knee are also placed at risk. This leads to bone, joint, & soft tissue injuries."
As reported by Marcia King. Barefoot vs. Shod. TheHorse.com: Your Guide to Equine Health Care. August 01, 2008 Article #12778

There are various kinds of scripts, letters, carved on the granite slabs of the tombs of Ibbankatuwa civilization. It is found that the scripts engraved on pots containing ash and skeletons, had been carved with letters and several signs for identification. These are the evidence to prove that there was letters and signs for communications in this civilization.
In addition to the items considered under the civilizations such as tools, weapons, remains of skeletons of humans and animals, and other fossils, pieces of metal, clay pots, seeds and other different types of articles, the paintings, symbols and geometrical lines give clues of the life patterns of the civilizations of pre historical period.
The forefathers of the Balangoda pre historic human, lived 120 000 years ago, have used the primitive pictures, different kinds of signs and symbols in geometrical lines on the walls of caves and rock shelters by engraving, scratching which have been used as communication.
There are several caves identified as evidence to these communications methods such as Thanthirimaley, Arangoda, Billewa, Adiyagala caves of Anuradhapura Dorawaka cave of Kegalla, Rajagal kanda and Gonagolla caves of Ampara and Padiwettumalei in Sangamankanda of Ampara.
It can be believed that the area around Thanthirimale closer to Malwathu Oya had been a developed civilized from the period of pre historic. Earliest evidence of the pre history of Thanthiimaley can be found at the cave containing the engravings, paintings and other geometrical lines, red and black head unclear leopard or tiger image, humans carrying bows and arrows, sign of sun, animals, birds, and several other images of humans.
Proofs found from Dorawaka Lena of Keggalla can be considered as proofs of the transferring period from Mesolithic to Neolithic. There are signs, letters, paintings and other geometrical lines such as images of sun and moon, arrows, images of fish, elephant, and several other paintings found in this cave.
The image of elephant engraved at the left side of the cave is very much famous and owing to this, this cave is named as "Ethabedi Lena".
This site is in kotmale in Ampara District. There are some pre historic paintings in one of the caves in Gonagolla, a female dancer and a man painted with colours in red yellow, green and white are visible.
Pre histiric paintings and engravings found from Padiwettumalei in Sangamankanda of Ampara.
There are caves with drip ledges with pre historic paintings and engravings and inscriptions of Brahmi letters. Quoted below are a few of them.

"The basic trouble with the modern world … is the intellectual fallacy that freedom and compulsion are opposites. To solve the gigantic problems crushing the world today, we must clarify our mental confusion. We must acquire a philosophical perspective. In essence, freedom and compulsion are one. Let me give you a simple illustration. Traffic lights restrain your freedom to cross a street whenever you wish. But this restraint gives you the freedom from being run over by a truck. If you were assigned to a job and prohibited from leaving it, it would restrain the freedom of your career. But it would give you freedom from the fear of unemployment. Whenever a new compulsion is forced upon us, we automatically gain a new freedom. The two are inseparable. Only by accepting total compulsion can we achieve total freedom."
-- Ellsworth M. Toohey
"One loses everything when one loses one's sense of humor."
--Ellsworth M. Toohey
"I was thinking of people who say that happiness is impossible on earth. Look how hard they all try to find some joy in life. Look how they struggle for it. Why should any living creature exist in pain? By what conceivable right can anyone demand that a human being exist for anything but his own joy? Every one of them wants it. Every part of him wants it. But they never find it. I wonder why. They whine and say they don't understand the meaning of life. There's a particular kind of people that I despise. Those who seek some sort of a higher purpose or 'universal goal,' who don't know what to live for, who moan that they must 'find themselves.' You hear it all around us. That seems to be the official bromide of our century. Every book you open. Every drooling self-confession. It seems to be the noble thing to confess. I'd think it would be the most shameful one."
"Look, Gail." Roark got up, reached out, tore a thick branch off a tree, held it in both hands, one fist closed at each end; then, his wrists and knuckles tensed against the resistance, he bent the branch slowly into an arc. "Now I can make what I want of it: a bow, a spear, a cane, a railing. That's the meaning of life."
"Your strength?"
"Your work." He tossed the branch aside. "The material the earth offers you and what you make of it."
-- Gail Wynand and Howard Roark

Kettlebells have been around for centuries and long have been used in Russia to train athletes and the military. Kettlebells differ from traditional weight training because of the swinging motion that offers additional resistance and the need for muscle engagement for control. The wood-chop exercise targets the core -- abs and back, while also using the legs and glutes.
Choose a kettlebell weight appropriate for your fitness level. If you're not sure, start with a low weight -- 2 to 5 pounds -- and increase it if necessary.
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the kettlebell with both hands in front of your body.
Squat by pushing your hips back and bending your knees, while bringing the kettlebell down to your right.
Straighten from your squat while simultaneously swinging the kettlebell up and across your body until it's over your left shoulder. Engage the abs to control the movement and avoid over-rotating or torquing through the torso.
Return to the start position by bringing the kettlebell down to the right while squatting. Perform 10 to 15 repetitions on each side.
Perform another set of wood chops starting with the kettlebell on your left and swinging up to the right.
Items you will need
- Kettlebell
- Because kettlebells use momentum, engage your abs and control the movement as much as possible to avoid back injury.

Three exhibitions look closer at our lives and community
It's a month of great exhibitions in Brimbank with three set to open -
- Humans of Brimbank by photographer Mehak Sheikh;
- Dinky Die by Silvia Tomarchio; and
- Part of my journey by artist Benjamin Alvarado.
Humans of Brimbank
Humans of Brimbank is a "photo voice" project that aims to create a photographic census of Brimbank. It runs from Thursday 23 July to Saturday 8 August at the Sunshine Art Spaces Gallery, 2 City Place in Sunshine.
The exhibition features the faces of people living in Brimbank and celebrates the community's diversity.
Photographer, Mehak Sheikh, hopes that her work will connect people while eliminating negative stereotypes and helps to raise the profile of the west and its community.
Dinky Die
Dinky Die is also a photographic exhibition that focuses on the notion of chance and fate. It runs from Friday 24 July to Saturday 22 August at the Hunt Club Community Arts Centre in Deer Park.
The images depict random moments in time and space where fate and chance may intervene like a simple roll of the dice.
Part of my journey
Part of my journey draws on the background of the artist Benjamin Alvarado and blends it with his current experience of western Melbourne landscapes to become an abstract interpretation of place. His exhibition, which is also at the Hunt Club Community Arts Centre runs from Friday 24 July to Saturday 22 August.
Hunt Club Community Arts Centre
775 Ballarat Road
Deer Park
Exhibitions can be viewed Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm and Saturdays from 9am to 12noon.

Now hear me out.
Sony knew this holiday MS was going to be very aggressive in the USA. MS gave great bundle to consumers @ at sweet price of 349 and even 329 during black friday.
Yes, Sony did have the black friday bundles..but it seems they went into november thinking the PS4 HYPE will get them the victory regardless of the prices this holiday season.. Sony refuse to drop the price to be competitive.
I have said this many many times.. price matters..
We can go as far as to say ps4 got such an early lead in the USA because of the 399 price.. [ of course there are many who still think that price has nothing to do with it]
Anyways.. Poll is up.. vote..
Did sony do enough to win November [ one of the biggest npd of the year]?
Praise the One.
