Walking poles
Nov 28
, 2008 at 11:16am
Excuse the perhaps seemingly obvious question, but what are walking poles for and in peoples opinions should I get some ?
Most of my walking thus far has been of the less strenous and less hilly variety (well we're not overly blessed with hills in Hertfordshire).
I am planning on doing more hill walking and the onc place I can see them being of more use perhaps is in snow, in Scotland in April next year. I'm just wary of getting something I'll never need that'll just be more to carry.
Thanks in advance,

Poles are excellent for relieving pressure on the leg muscles. Descending a long steep hill can place a great deal of stress on the legs resulting in aches and pains for days afterwards. They are also useful for security in slippery conditions. I have also used them for probing marshy ground to test it before sinking several feet into a bog!
One pole should suffice most people, but it's a matter of taste. I only use one and then only on hills.

Personally I only use a pole when carrying a heavy rucksack when going on a multi-day walk in the hills as it is very useful, as much for the legs as the back and also when crossing streams.
With a normal daysack I don't bother as I find them more of a pain. When crossing bogs I'd rather just get down to it, you can usually tell the worst bits by the vegetation and colours, and as seem to run most downhills anyway (well, free wheeling - far less stress on muscles but watch where your feet are going when get up to speed!) so poles are no use there. That's just me however.
But as for using and carrying one, I'd certainly say there isn't any harm in carrying one in case you need it, they're so light and compactible now. Just never ever on flat walks...

Sorry to dig up an old one folks but I now have evidence AGAINST walking poles which is sure to get some red faces going. Feel free to read on!
Since I've started working part time on a very large holiday park in Scotland I've noticed a pattern on walking related injuries. Most are the typical such as a sprain or hand injury etc but talking to locals there is an alarming amount of walking pole injuries.
A common issue with walking poles is arm, head and even face injuries.
When crossing rough ground feet become tangled with poles - result causing you to trip; maybe not everyone's going to admit this happening but I know its happened to all of us at some point including me many times. The main problem when this happens is your hands are passed through the strap which doesn't leave enough time to free them to save yourself.
We have even had one National park ranger state that prolonged KNEE injuries are actually caused by walking poles in this area. This alarming report is actually quite a simple one to understand.
A simple test I was told is to stand on bathroom scales in your boots with both poles in either hand. Now you may feel silly but the next bit will be even worse so make sure the house is empty! Try to imagine you are striding up a very steep hill with a strong pace, stride out your arms just as you would on the hillside pushing you up for half a minute or so then glance down at the scales once you have a rhythm.
The results were outstanding, clearly extra load was being placed on my knee joints, in fact up to 10kg at times when the pole was in the upstroke. This totally backed up what the ranger told me.
Some of you are aware that I suffered from a nasty knee injury back in 2005, my specialist told me "never" to go out in the hills without them afterwards but to be honest I still believe walking poles are new and a huge grey area at the moment to us all.
My conclusion talking to people injured and National park wardens is they are only beneficial when going downhill when the ground is fairly smooth and water crossing. Other than that they are nothing but trouble.

I never heard of walking pole injuries but I believe what Andy says.
I started using poles in about 2000 after a knee injury.
The theory is that they take some of your body weight off the knees and offer a little bit of propulsion.
I have used them on and off since then and found that they only offer any effective help if you are carrying a heavy load on your back.
Even then they work best only on reasonably even ground, if the going is stony and rough and each step is different from the last they aren't much good to you.
I have never used the straps and I can imagine that they would be potentially dangerous if you fell.

With reference to Andy's post - Annecdotal evidence I would suggest and I have no doubts that there is equally annecdotal evidence out there of people injured, where use of poles would have prevented it. I'm still unsure as to whether or not they'd help me, and more so my girlfriend. She can be unsteady on her feet and they would at least help with that.

Guess you're right Tony, a heavy pack (60L & above) poles would offer some support. I did a few multi-day routes last summer with my 85L and have to admit they were beneficial.
It's just after seeing the scale test I was so shocked what extra load was being placed on my legs, it seems the faster or fitter you are the more the load on the knees.
I expected more people to jump on board with this latest news... guess everyone's in the bathroom with walking boots & poles tonight

I think you have to know how to use the poles for best effect if you have them, they need to be adjusted for going up and down hill for one. Also its not just the people who use the poles that can suffer injury....I have suffered the following by walking with people who use poles:
Being tripped up as they suddenly swing there poles out and in between your legs.....
nearly being spiked in the face by poles in a rucksack when going over stiles
Having poles thrown down on you when someone decides that they cannot use them for scrambling down!
Use your poles wisely!

I'm a little clumsy, so I find my walking poles particularly useful when descending hills, just too steady myself. Also useful for testing out bits of mud (i.e. am I going to sink in it etc).
But, I do find them to be a hindrance, I don't find them that easy to adjust and so its not like I can keep packing them away everytime a bit of a scramble comes my way.
My verdict is only get them if you need them.

Ah one of my pet hates. Maybe hate is too strong a word but I do dislike poles rather a lot
My good lady does tend to rather rely on her poles which kind of winds me up a little, my days in the mountains are occompanied by a constant soundtrack of "clatter clatter" behind me.
It does concern me somewhat when she really puts all her weight on the poles, I guess they're designed and built to a certain standard and should be able to take a reasonable amount of weight but there are times that just one pole giving way could result in a real disaster.
Then of course there's the messing around with them when we come to a scramble or downclimb, they either just get in the damn way or there follows a bout of fiddling around trying to get them down and stow them away.
On the rare occasions when my lovely lady (bless) does decide she's going in front for a while, it's not unknown for me to come close to doing a pretty good impression of King Harold at the battle of Hastings thanks to a little wreckless swinging!
Mind you there were a few occasions in our early mountain walking days when we would have never found our way if it weren't for the highly unprofessional following of walking pole marks on rocks

For many years I have used a walking stick. It is about 5 long and weighs just over one pound. Each year when I look at spending my gear budget the idea of getting treking poles comes to mind. One concern has stopped me in the past. With my walking stick, it is always the right length whether I am going up hill, down hill or level. Is it necessary to be always changing the length of treking poles as the topography changes? Is there anyone out there who has used both and can relate pros and cons?

The general advice seems to be to lengthen the pole for descent - which is fairly easy with extendable poles and I suppose they wouldn't need changing that often during a days walk anyway.
My wife wouldn't be without her pair of poles even on flat ground.
I carry a single pole and use it occasionally on descents but in all honesty it spends more time it my backpack and more often than not never gets used.
I have tried two poles but cannot get on with them at all.
I am wary of getting my feet "tangled up" and tripping but have found one to be useful on steep descents as seems to take some of the weight off my knee and act as a "steadier"
My wife put her foot in a hole and stumbled last year - all of her weight went onto the pole and saved her from a fall - the pole ended up bent and now won't straighten out so it absorbed the potential impact and we think saved her from a nasty fall.
I should say here that she is not overweight

I have been living in Germany for about 3 years now and have noticed these constant "gangs" of about 5-15 middle aged women walking in groups using ski poles. Its not like they are walking in rough terrain or up hills... just wandering the streets of Hannover. What is the deal?? Are they worried that it might start snowing soon? Ive seen these poles in stores too... they can cost a couple hundred Euro Can some one enlighten me as to whats the deal with these poles???

BOCA RATON -- Back in the 1980s, Robert ``Scott`` Buchanan`s firms, including a screen-installation service and a tree farm, were so successful, the editors of a business publication named him ``entrepreneur of the year.``
But it still was not enough.
So he left the businesses to go back to school.
``It was very difficult for me. I struggled,`` said the Delray Beach man, now 34 and the father of two children, 11-year-old Katie and 9-year-old Scott. ``But (it) was kind of a personal goal. I wanted my kids to see how I valued education.``

This is a sterling silver bead that will fit all European style bracelets. This bead is not threaded.
Posted by Unknown on 24th May 2013
The thing I love about sterling silver charms is how they so effectively remind you of the past. There's a big enough selection that you can find something relevant to you, such as this clown, which really reminded me of when I went to the circus with my father when I was a little girl. This silver clown can always put a smile on my face.

text: Mythological television shows are really popular right now, and the newest entrant in this genre, Buddha, has been garnering a lot appreciation for its production value and story. However, the identity of the actor playing the lead character in the series was kept under wraps so far. Now, we have learnt that a newcomer from Jaipur, Himanshu Soni, has been finalised for the role. A source says, "Himanshu had an intense grooming session and was trained in martial arts, Tai Chi, dialogue delivery and acting, amongst other disciplines, to mould him into the character of Prince Siddhartha. He also did a 10-day Vipassana course as a part of this exercise to know the character in-depth and be able to perform the role in the optimum way" The makers will be visiting the holy place, Sarnath near Varanasi to unveil the actor at a grand event, since it's a significant pilgrimage spot for Buddhists. Producer Dr BK Modi says, "For the role of Buddha, we auditioned several actors — seasoned as well as newcomers — but Himanshu matched 28 out of the 32 characteristics that Buddha possessed. He's a down-to-earth person with a likeable persona."

FORT WAYNE – Celestia Walters was driving along Winchester Road with her granddaughter in September when an oncoming car swerved into her lane.
The two collided head-on, and Walters was left pinned in her minivan with fractured vertebrae and other injuries.
Her granddaughter suffered minor injuries and was released the same day from the hospital.
The driver of the other car, identified as Susan F. Putt, 41, now faces several felony charges in that crash.
When emergency responders got to Putt's car, she was flailing around so much that her legs made it above the steering wheel and onto the dashboard, according to police and emergency responder accounts.
Her eyes were rolled back, and police and medics had to forcibly restrain her on the stretcher, despite being injured so severely that she was listed in critical condition later that day, a probable cause affidavit said.
Police searched her car for her identification and found what appeared to be drug paraphernalia.
After Putt made it to the hospital, staff there found a plastic container with several rock-like items in it hidden between her buttocks, the affidavit said.
In addition to the rocks testing positive for cocaine, a blood draw showed Putt had the drug in her system, the report said.
A witness to the crash told police Putt's car nearly hit him as she drove along the center line of the road.
He looked in his rear-view mirror just as Putt slammed head-on into Walters' minivan.
In addition to the broken vertebrae, Walters was left with a broken ankle, a deep cut to her left leg and several minor cuts, the affidavit said.
Putt, of the 5800 block of Meadows Drive, is charged with paraphernalia possession, cocaine possession, operating a vehicle while intoxicated and two counts of criminal recklessness, all felonies.
A warrant was issued for her arrest, but she was not in custody Thursday, according to Allen County Lockup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Information Statement On The Removal Of Lead-Based Paint
The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) recognizes the potential for environmental and human health impacts from the removal of lead-based paint (LBP) from the surfaces of various structures. In response to these concerns, the IEPA has prepared this information package which outlines those LBP removal approaches which IEPA recognizes as being consistent with protecting human health and the environment. Lead-based paint removal and containment technologies are continually evolving. Therefore, the IEPA will not be recommending specific methodologies. However, key general considerations in the removal of LBP are addressed. It should be noted that, although IEPA regulations focus on the potential for releases of lead to the outdoor environment, the requirements for the handling and disposal of solid and liquid wastes also apply to waste generated during the removal of lead-based paint from interior surfaces.
Questions regarding LBP removal should be referred to Connie Sullinger of the IEPA Office of Chemical Safety at (217) 785-0830 or specific Agency contacts listed within this information statement. For questions related to specific requirements for the removal of lead-based paint from residential buildings and child care facilities under the Lead Poisoning Prevention Code (77 Ill. Adm.

Firm Named Best Public/Private Partnership of Nassau County Forchelli, Curto, Deegan, Schwartz, Mineo, Cohn & Terrana LLP (the firm) client Lowe Properties was honored by the Long Island Business News for "Best Public/Private Partnership in Nassau of 2010," for the Westbury Theater project.
Built in 1927, the Westbury Theatre was one of at least six Calderone Theaters in Nassau County, Long Island. The Theater was designed by architect Douglas Pairman Hall in a unique medieval Tudor style that remains evident to this day contained a beautiful and expansive auditorium which originally seated 1,600 and included orchestra, loge and balcony sections.
Twinned "down the middle" in the late 1970s, the theater managed to make the conversion without altering much of the interior. However, the construction of nearby multiplexes ultimately left the theater for broke. In 2001, with crowds dwindling and the leaks growing, the theater was forced to shut its doors and the building became a non-productive blighted eyesore.
In 2004, Lowe Properties LLC acquired the property for purposes of either the demolition or restoration of the structure. While demolition of the theater would likely make way for a profitable new retail strip, restoration and re-adaptation of the historic structure option would present enormous civic, aesthetic, social and historic preservation advantages. However, the restoration option faced serious economic feasibility challenges. These challenges were ultimately overcome by a creative and collaborative effort by many parties. Through a true public-private partnership, among the owner, the Village of Westbury, the county (including the Nassau IDA) and the state, began an effort to plan and finance the reconstruction of the historic building to its former glory. By October 2010, work had begun on the restoration and cleanup, with a formal groundbreaking ceremony held on October 22 to convert into a performing arts center.
Renovations on the building had been stalled because plans failed to meet the Village of Westbury's off-street parking requirements. Since the redevelopment hinged on providing additional parking, the village pitched in by granting a parking variance and also allowed Lowe to lease 160 parking spots in a nearby village-owned lot.

Founded in 1976, Forchelli, Curto, Deegan, Schwartz, Mineo, Cohn, & Terrana LLP is one of Long Island's most acclaimed and distinguished law firms. Headquartered in Uniondale, NY, the firm is conveniently located for clients in Nassau and Suffolk. The Firm employs over 40 attorneys who provide counsel to a broad range of clients, including national, regional and local businesses, major real estate developers and organizations, banks, insurance companies, municipalities, educational institutions, and individuals. Personal attention and quality representation that is both practical and cost-effective are hallmarks of the firm's policy toward clients.

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) -- Authorties in Nigeria say at least 11 people have been killed in violence blamed on Islamic insurgents in the country's northeast.
One attack happened Wednesday night in the fishing village of Gashua in Yobe state. Teacher Fati Umar, who witnessed the violence, said the Islamic extremists attacked a police station in the village and later a prison.
Lt. Eli Lazarus, a military spokesman, said the shootout killed two police officers and five civilians. However, Nigeria's military often downplays casualty figures to avoid the appearance that it is losing control of the region to extremists.
Another attack killed four in Bama, where a recent shootout between the military and extremists in Baga killed at least 187 people. In that attack, residents accused soldiers of killing civilians.

Vicki McKenna's wonderful book is an "inside out" way of thinking about and managing PPS. Her practical strategies and holistic approach encourages even Type A polio survivors to slow down and listen to what their bodies, hearts - and even souls - are telling them: "Do for yourself as you have been doing for others." A Balanced Way Of Living is unusual because it includes dietary, natural and alternative therapies for PPS plus a unique Eastern view that outlines meditation, breathing and yoga as PPS treatments. The book is clearly and sympathetically written by a polio survivor who is also a acupuncture therapist and includes many case studies. By following McKenna's strategies, polio survivors cannot help but feel better, inside and out. More / Purchase
THE POLIO SURVIVORS HANDBOOK, given to all Post-Polio Institute patients, contains the research-based and time-tested protocol that has been found to successfully treat Post-Polio Sequelae. But this "home version" of the HANDBOOK has been rewritten to educate you, your local doctor and therapists so that you can receive the same customized treatment for PPS close to your home that you would receive at The Post-Polio Institute.
The HANDBOOK explains the causes of PPS symptoms: fatigue, muscle weakness, pain, sleep disorders, cold intolerance and heightened sensitivity to pain and anesthesia. Then, the HANDBOOK helps you to identify and avoid PPS symptom "triggers" and describes a combination of energy conservation, diet, assistive devices, stress and pain management -- BUT NOT EXERCISE -- that addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of PPS, helping you to substitute the old "Use it or Lose it" philosophy for a new "Conserve to Preserve" lifestyle that reduces fatigue, muscle weakness, pain and stress.

It's 1953 and at sixteen, Scottish émigré Tim McClellan is Utah's Western Regional Junior Tennis Champion…and a remarkably gifted trumpet player. Tim's goal isn't a professional tennis career but to play with one of the world's finest symphonies. But first, he wants to fulfill a childhood dream: to be one of the two fanfare trumpeters at the upcoming Edinburgh Festival Military Tattoo.
Tim's plans are derailed by a severe attack of polio, leaving him with more to overcome than just physical paralysis. The McClellan clan questions whether Tim can overcome a potentially more disabling nemesis: Bitterness.
Based on the author's own experience, BITTERSWEET is a warmly drawn and detailed portrait of facing an unforgiving foe by staring down fear with the help and support of caring friends and family, a father's wisdom and the sweet love of a young woman. More / Purchase

Welcome to the sweltering summer of 2016. Thanks to the disintegration of Iraq and a unified O.P.E.C., oil is more than $250 a barrel. Americans can't afford the electricity to turn on their air conditioners nor gas to drive to the beach. And what is Otis K. Freeman, America's first black president, doing about this? He's sweating the loss of Democratic primaries to the stern, tough-as-nails Wilhelmina "Wild Blue Willie" Edmund, Speaker of the House, former B-2 bomber pilot and Congressional Medal of Honor winner, campaigning to end America's dependence on foreign oil through conservation.

Robbie Pancrazio is out-of-work and arguably going out of his mind. After writing Tony Award-winning books and
lyrics for Broadway musicals, Robbie can't get a job. Why? New York's theaters are being occupied by the British,
or at least one British composer's "soap operas with one catchy song," the latest being "Eva," a singing and
dancing portrait of Hitler's mistress. Adding insult to Robbie's professional injuries is "Mikey Moose," America's
first cartoon icon. "The Moose," once a respected creator of animated children's films and theme parks, rebuilt Broadway
and perpetually fills their theaters with fulsome musical productions based on its own films. So, an unemployed Robbie
smokes and smolders, drinks and rages, develops ticks and hears "The RumDums," sounds in his head like muffled voices
that he can't quite make out.
Just when his career, his sanity and the American musical theater all seem lost, Robbie is called by Stephen Sender, the dean of Broadway composers. No longer able to write lyrics because of a stroke, Sender asks Robbie to join him in creating "a real Broadway musical to lampoon the British hack and 'The Moose'." Robbie writes a show to Sender's specifications, only to have Sender discard it. More / Purchase

It's been nearly a year and half since 11-year-old Madeline Kara Neumann died and Tuesday her parents will finally learn what, if any punishment they will receive for praying for their dying daughter instead of getting her medical treatment.
Dale and Leilani Neumann are convicted of second-degree reckless homicide in the death of their daughter Madeline, who died from undiagnosed diabetes.
During the trial, testimony revealed the Neumanns continued to pray for Madeline as her heath steadily declined to the point she could no longer walk, talk eat or drink. The Weston couple believed God had healing powers.
Tuesday afternoon a Marathon County judge could sentence each parent to up to 25 years in prison.
Dale & Leilani are expected to appeal their convictions.
This case is believed to be the first of its kind in Wisconsin involving faith healing in which someone died and another person was charged with homicide.
Stay tuned to NewsChannel 7 and wsaw.com Tuesday for complete coverage of the Neumann's sentencing.

This morning after watching a few minutes of ESPN and some of the highlights, I was ranting about the idiotic call made yesterday by Major League Baseball umpire Tim McClelland, ironically calling his 4000th game in the majors, and making a boneheaded mistake.
The Kansas City Royals' Jeff Franceour had just crushed a ball that bounced off the top of the wall in left-centerfield and Detroit outfielder Austin Jackson made a good play to catch the ball on the rebound and prevent a home run. But McClelland called Franceour out, even though it was a live ball. After reading accounts, I understand that it was a case of brain freeze. McClelland realized his mistake immediately and tried to correct it.
But that is nothing in comparison to what happened today:
This kind of play begs the question: When will Major League Baseball step into the 21st Century with the rest of the world and set up an instant replay system?
It's bad enough that the only replays currently allowed are home run calls because it got so bad a few years ago, umpires couldn't even figure out when balls when over the fence or hit the foul poles. And even in some cases after instant replay had been instilled in those situations, they still got the call wrong.
But more and more, I've noticed a growing rash of horrible calls. Yes, there's the occasional "bang-bang" play at first base that can go either way when you're watching in real time, but I'm not talking about those types of plays (although those can easily be corrected by watching an instant replay). I'm talking about calls that are egregiously wrong.
Two years ago, Armando Galarraga was robbed of a perfect game that could easily have been corrected had MLB had an instant replay system. There are plays too numerous to mention when it comes to blown umpires' calls in the MLB from regular season games to more important playoff games. But in a world where the average viewer sees an instant replay of practically even play during the game, routine as well as controversial, why is Major League Baseball so adamantly against using instant replay to help correct human error?
Practically every other sport uses it. The NFL has a challenge process by which head coaches can challenge a ruling on the field. The NBA can review baskets that come close to the expiration of the shot clock even long after the event during the next stoppage of play. The same applies to NHL goals. Even pro tennis players can challenge the ruling of whether a ball was in play or out and it's checked by computer graphics. But the resistance of MLB to the use of instant replay is mind boggling.
And I don't know why. Some say it would slow down the game even more than its current snail's pace, or that the umpires' union would never allow it. Well, what if an extra umpire were hired for every game to sit in a video booth and instantly see every replay just like we do at home? That would be 16 extra umpires employed by MLB and the video review would be instantaneous. Some say you don't want to show up the umpires. Ask Jim Joyce if he'd prefer being "shown up" instead of giving Armando Galarraga the perfect game he so richly deserves. And what shows up the umpire more than an angry manager arguing a questionable call on the field in front of thousands of fans?
MLB Commissioner Bud Selig can etch his name into the annals of baseball history by mandating some form of instant replay system to double check important calls that can sway the outcome of a game. God knows he won't be remembered for much else. So, please, Major League Baseball, for the sake of the Baseball Gods, join us in the 21st Century and consider making instant replay part of the day to day operations, simply for the sake of making the right call.
CORRECTION: A previous version of this post misidentified Jeff Franceour as a Detroit Tiger and Austin Jackson as a Kansas City Royal, and has since been corrected. (Thanks, Annette.)

Can I correct you?... Frenchy Franceour is with the Royals... not Detroit...
It's sad they won't use the replay... they say it will slow down the game, but that's just bogus.

Taito's Double Dragon
It was the summer of 1989 in a not-so-sunny Prestatyn Pontins, so the majority of our holiday's evenings were spent in the resort's arcade hall. Being my first foray into the seedy underbelly of cutting-edge - well, for 1987, when the game debuted, at least - videogames, one of the first arcades I ever played was the side- …
Me too...
I spent many an hour playing that in Prestatyn. For a run-down miserable holiday camp they had a great arcade. The holidays of my youth were not the same without a little bank bag full of Florins to feed the machines with! I completed 1942 and got the maximum possible score on Air Inferno but always ended up on PacLand for some reason I am yet to fathom.
Re: Me too...
Ditto, I wish somebody would do an update for Pacland, its the perfect sort of "time wasting" games for a tablet.
Elbow > *
For some reason all the baddies were totally happy to be elbowed.
As such this was not really a great game.
Re: Elbow > *
Yep, you can get all the way through this game just by reverse-elbowing everyone.
Re: Elbow > *
Yup, and it's blinkin short as well when you just elbow everyone. Only problem is I only really figured this out later when I played the ST port after spending to much real moneypences getting not very far in the arcade.
I vividly remember this cab at my local leisure centre (among other places), where they had the volume turned up to 11. The high-pitched 'ching' noise as you kicked a knife out of the air is a joy to behold :)
Double Dragon 2 was also a great game. Who can forget 'Pogo' and timing the jump and kick just right to get the helicopter kick.
I loved elbowing them
Grabbing their hair and kneeing them in the face was a win as well. Or throwing the knifes at them.
Me and my mate used to complete the game on 1 life. We had no life at the time.
Is what this game is. I remember the two player "deathmatch" mode on the NES was excellent fun.
loved this game...
i looked forward to our junior school swimming sessions just because the school we went to had this.
they also had daily thompson's decathlon too :)
never realised about the elbow thing. it was much more fun to pick up stuff and hit people. baseball bats were in DD werent they? or was that the next one? bah, hazy memory!
Re: loved this game...
Yes the baseball bats were DD, but the chain was the best weapon, followed closely by the bat
Ahh good times...
Elbow'ing your way through was a little bit harder in DD2 as the button combo changed depending on which way you were facing, or was that DD3? Used to love this game, for 10p you got all the way to the end, these days arcade games are £1-2 a go and usually after a minute or two they want that again.
Yep, that was indeed DD2 -- the three buttons depended on whichever way you faced (which to a lesser extent was the case in DD1 whenever you performed a flying kick), DD3 was rubbish though.
I wasted many an hour playing Double Dragon 2 on the Amiga. This type of game was a great along with alternatives such as Silkworm.
This and 'Rastan Saga' were the games where 10p would see me to the end, therby getting 25 mins play for 10p !
My dad showed me how he could go through all the ranks and change the rank to just a black icon and have 32 spare lives all using $1 in 20 minutes.
Good game != good film
There was a film based upon this as well...
It's possibly the most shocking piece of celluloid vomit I've ever had the pleasure of watching.
The game was, and still is, awesome tho.
Re: Good game != good film
True, it was no Street Fighter. Van Damme and Kylie FTW!
Aaaah, those high-waisted, skin tight jeans.
Double Dragon?
More like Double Entendre:
The game tasks Bimmy Billy and Jimmy Lee with reaching Willy's base and both giving him a good hard seeing to.
Even in the final showdown when Willy is furiously pumping out projectiles all over the place
Yes the elbow thing was something of a cheat, but it was perfectly possible to mistime it, at which time you would be rewarded by watching helpless as a couple of Abobos would play catch with your limp on-screen representative.
I was always impressed at the time by the versatile combat system where seeming background objects could be used as weapons, the weapons of enemies were easily turned upon them and, as mentioned somewhere above, the move you executed was determined not only by the punch or kick button but by your distance from your opponent. I recall enjoying that feature in one of DD's spiritual descendants Golden Axe.
Golden Axe
Now that was a TRULY great side-scrolling beat em up ! :)
I actually discovered this on Mame32 in the early Noughties, resulting in many a late night! :-)
Fantastic game
I used to love this game, although the last level with the spikes and pushy-out walls was more luck than skill (i used to jump constantly in the vain hope of fooling the collision detection, not sure if it worked or was just chance).
There were a few places (the coveyor belt for one, and the big guy near the bridge as well) where you could trick the enemies into running off the edge and killing themselves as they tracked you in pretty much a straight line.
If you were really sneaky, you could get some of the weapons to follow you when the screen full scrolled between sets of enemies rather than loosing them, if I remember correctly you chucked it forward as the last bad guy in that scene died.
Wasnt this the sequel to Renegade?, another violent head kicking game.
The Amiga version of DD2 had really good music if i recall.
Re: Fantastic game
Yeah, Renegade is classed as it's spiritual predecessor, as Another World was to Flashback, which actually came out a year prior, which itself was a Westernised remake of a Japanese beat 'em up Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun (I think I pronounced that right!). I did have Renegade for the Amstrad, and it was a surprisingly competent conversion (the version of DD I had on the Amstrad was abysmal), and it had a funky 8-bit soundtrack which really did work magic with the Amstrad's sound chip, and the animation was excellent. Ditto Target: Renegade, it's true sequel.
good memories
Spent so much money trying to finish that game, only worked out the elbowing afterward ^^ ,the tunes were brilliant, there are great music remix made by Vertexguy on youtube.
incidently, saw the remake on PS3 which is quite fun to play.
Re: good memories
Double Dragon Neon is phenomenally good fun, and is not only a great homage to the original game, but also a great love letter to the 1980s. It also has one of the best soundtracks I've heard in a game.

text: On December 7, 1993, at approximately 1355 Pacific standard time, a Hiller-Soloy UH-12D helicopter, N2297W, sustained substantial damage when it collided with terrain during an autorotation after the loss of power. The commercial pilot, who had been conducting christmas tree hauling external load operations near Sublimity, Oregon, under 14CFR133, was not injured. No flight plan was filed for the local flight, and weather was reported to be visual meteorological conditions at the time of the accident. There was no ELT installed in the aircraft, and no fire occurred.The pilot stated that he had shut the aircraft down, and proceeded to grease the aircraft and add engine oil. After greasing, he noticed the fuel truck had been moved and the refueling hose secured. He said he assumed that the helicopter fuel tank had been refilled and did not check. He entered the cockpit and set the timer to 80 minutes and restarted the lifting operation. Thirty-six minutes into the operation cycle, the engine-out warning system activated with subsequent flameout. He released his load and descended to a hard landing. The aircraft bounced on ground contact and rolled to the left. The pilot stated that the cause of the flameout was fuel exhaustion due to the lack of fuel. He also noted that the pilot should not assume that ground support personnel faithfully perform their functions, and that the PIC must perform adequate preflight to include assurance that his aircraft has been refueled.FAA inspectors stated that the fuel tanks were bone dry, and when the battery master switch was turned on, the fuel gauge indicated zero.

The University of Tennessee at Knoxville announced the hiring of former Missouri State coach Cuonzo Martin on Sunday night, replacing Bruce Pearl. AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein
KNOXVILLE - Tennessee has its new basketball coach.
UT announced the hiring of former Missouri State coach Cuonzo Martin on Sunday night, replacing Bruce Pearl within a week. Martin, 39, went 61-41 in three seasons with the Bears, who won the regular-season Missouri Valley Conference championship this season.
"Cuonzo is among the most promising young coaches in the game, and we are excited about the coaching ability, toughness and energy that he brings to our program," UT athletic director Mike Hamilton said in a statement.
"He has a proven track record of success as a head coach at Missouri State and an assistant at Purdue as well as an outstanding career as a college basketball player. His Missouri State program improved from 11 wins to 26 in just two seasons, and they won the regular season conference championship this year.
"Cuonzo has an inspiring personal story, and we look forward to his impact on Tennessee basketball. We welcome Cuonzo, his wife Roberta, their sons Joshua and Chase, and their daughter, Addison, to the Tennessee family."
Martin will be officially introduced at a news conference at 2:30 on Monday afternoon. He spent eight years as an assistant at Purdue under Gene Keady and Matt Painter.

Patrick Brown has been the University of Tennessee beat writer since January 2011.

If it's the NBA, the NFL or SEC football and basketball, he's probably reading about it or watching it on TV. Contact him ...
Martin has had ---Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and returned to the United States for treatment of a malignant tumor between his heart and lungs. He received his last treatment on April 20, 1998, and is now in full remission. He has used his courage and experience with the disease to promote awareness of cancer research and support cancer charities. East St. Louis and Cancer survivor.. nothing else he is tough!

Sunday 14 March will be a very special matchday at Old Trafford as United officially celebrate 100 years since the stadium opened.
Fulham is the first weekend home fixture since the anniversary and as such, various plans are in place to mark the milestone - including the presence of some specially-invited guests.
Relatives of the 1910 United team - and of then chairman J H Davies and stadium architect Archibald Leitch - will be entertained at Sunday's game.
A time capsule containing United memorabilia will be sealed by the relatives and buried close to the centre tunnel – the only remaining part of the original stadium.
A replica of the programme from the inaugural match - against Liverpool on 19 February 1910 - will be distributed to every fan passing through the turnstiles.
One hundred free tickets have been issued to local residents through the Gorse Hill Partnership, a link-up between United and Trafford Borough Council.
Banners in the North Stand tunnel tell the story of OT's development, while the artwork of local school children is on display in the Family Stand concourse.
A special 100 Years of Old Trafford magazine will be on sale around the ground.
Club secretary Ken Ramsden says, "The club is immensely proud to have been at Old Trafford for 100 years. To celebrate the centenary with our supporters is very important."

Chaneco, our first casa cat in Salir
When you live in Portugal, it doesn't matter if you buy or rent, you can be certain of two things. There will be obnoxiously barking dogs within one or two properties of yours and your house or apartment will be equipped with a cat.
The dogs you can't do anything about. They are usually safe and sound in your neighbor's backyard garden protecting whatever their little doggie brains decide need their fierce alert. That lets the other dogs know they have to sound the alarm and at any time of the day, and mostly in the middle of the night. The village is probably awaken thinking "#%@*% Dogs!"
Our 2nd Casa Cat…Pretty Kitty
The cat has usually lived at your new house before you have, so it has squatting rights. It won't leave. Whether you love or detest cats, this cat will be as good as yours. If it doesn't have a name, you will name it, you will pet it, and you will feed it and worry about it and make it little beds out of the cold and rain. The house cat in Salir used to follow us down to the local bar and wait for us to walk home. How could you not love a cat like that?
Our new house came with a roughly year old kitty named Shakiri, we changed her name to Kira and the citizen is now fighting off the other cats that came around and putting her on a schedule. She is terribly sweet and I think she should get fixed but the citizen wants to wait until May or July when they have the "free-ish" neutering program in Lagos. From what I am seeing from our flirty little kitty, there will be more cute baby house cats by then.
I am a dog person, but I welcome the cats. In all the places in Portugal I have lived, and these are old places, there is not a hint of a rodent problem. Heck, in my Florida house we had fruit rats galore!
Kira is a nice substitute for a Labrador, she is very pet able. She talks to me and I can travel without guilt. When it's time to move on, she will be the next person's cat, we have to remember, she belongs to the house, not us.

The kittens came on April 24th. Five adorable little things and Kira is letting us pick them up and pet them. The first itty bitty newborn cats I have ever seen and we are charmed. Now to be responsible ex-pats…is there such thing?

oooo kitty cats! I rent a basement apartment on a horse farm in Wisconsin where there are two barn cats. One is an old momma cat that is probably going to live forever! The other one is a one year old cat named Rebel who appropriatly named loves to chase after anything… mice, horses tails, and car tires. We definately try to look out for that one; there are bets to how long he'll survive. Definately a dog person myself, the farm also comes with a german shepherd. Really loved reading your blog post, and makes me want to venture to Portugal one day!
