Editorial: Simulacra And Simulacrap
The idea of simulation – the closest approximation of reality in digital form – really suits certain genres. Racing a car, for example, where the player's possible interactions are limited to a couple of pedals, a gearstick and wheel, can be modelled closely. So too can flying an aeroplane, where the number of possible inputs via a keyboard resembles the bewildering number of switches at the disposal of a pilot. But the vicissitudes of human behaviour have yet to be captured. ArmA 2 gives it a go, all the same. Yet, as Bohemia Interactive's war sims have scaled up the choices available to the player to a level more closely resembling that available to a squad leader and even general, so its level of realism has fallen away.
Why is this? Clearly, the foundation of realism is much broader than the replication of choice alone. A film – which offers no choice to the viewer – can feel very real, after all. Similarly, scripted events in games can convince the player of their authenticity, while still offering only limited control. But why would a game that does offer choice manage to feel less realistic than those that simply tip a cinematic experience from a can? Much of ArmA 2's problem is that the technology underpinning its interface can't express choice as fluidly as a human. For all games' ability to capture the ripples in a pool of water, or the refraction of light through mist, other areas of production have not kept step. The player's need to scroll through menus to issue an order doesn't map neatly on to the way people deal with each other in reality – and is significantly less efficient.
For all the credible bullet physics, fastidiously researched armoury and the simple lethality of a gun, ArmA 2's sensation of realism hits a ceiling – yet Bohemia Interactive has remained uncompromising. The bullet that passes through a squadmate's brain isn't any less lethal simply because the AI lacks the smarts to stay out of sniper fire. ArmA 2 refuses to fudge the simulation, to paper over the cracks even when the limits of technology mean that the resulting behaviour becomes less than credible. And until the tech can carry the weight, realism will be a matter of prioritising the illusion of reality above its replication.

17 January 2007
It's my birthday!
Here I am, another year older again. Sometimes these milestones make me pause to reflect on what has occurred since the last one, while other times I am so eager to look forward that I barely notice the time flying past. Regardless of how I feel, I still celebrate my day. Happy birthday to all January babies!

- Excellent - Study Hat Review by B-17
Quality Price Value I have used this hat for longer than I can remember - Three, four, five years?
It is made of a sturdy plexiglass visor, and a thick fabric on both the inside and out. The grommets have rusted, but even now I think my hat can last another 10 years - if you forget the fact that my mother, after offering to wash the hat, threw it in the wash and broke the plexiglass visor to bits.
NOT MACHINE WASHABLE. Or at least mine wasn't.
I am buying a few more (for $20, how can you complain?), they are the best hats I've ever had. If there was one hat I liked the best, this would be the one.(Posted on 4/5/13)

The death of a child is every parent's worst nightmare come true. Steve and Maryanne Abbate lived that nightmare when their 15-year-old son Luke was killed in a car accident in February of 2006.
"It changed the landscape of the family," Maryanne told Christian Cinema. "And you hate that because you want to shield your children as much as you can."
The Abbates used their son's death to save the lives of five people by donating their son's organs.
"This is a path we were meant to go down," Steve Abbate said, "to use what happened to Luke to help others."
"I know that won't be everybody's journey," his wife said. "But it was our journey."
The newly released motion picture titled "5th Quarter" documents the Abbate family's painful journey.
Maryanne Abbate recently spoke with CBN News about the loss of her son and why her family chose to share their story with the world. Click play to watch the interview.

"Orphan Ideas" by Luigi Zingales. Exit from comment view mode.
Click to hide this space CHICAGO – Since the United States Supreme Court's "Citizens United" decision, which prohibited the government from restricting independent political expenditures by corporations and unions, concern about business interests' influence over US elections has been growing. But political contributions are only one reason why business interests have so much power. When it comes to lobbying, money is not everything: ideas play a big role, too. Unfortunately, rather than leveling the playing field, the battle of ideas may skew US politics even further in favor of big business.
The US Deleveraging Has Resumed. Last quarter, upon the release of the Q4 2011 Z.1 (Flow of Funds) report, we penned "The US Deleveraging Is Now Over", because, well, it was: all the categories tracked by the Fed's Credit Market Debt Outstanding series posted a sequential increase over Q3.
Most importantly, there was an increase in the net debt held by the US Household Sector: this was only the first time after 14 quarters of declines, that US consumers had levered up. Sure enough, many took this as an indication that the economy was now fixed, and that with everyone levering up, inflation was sure to follow, and the virtuous cycle was back (also leading to the scare when the yield on the 10 year spiked, however briefly, to the mid 2% range).
Game theory? Occupy Economics?: A Report Back from the Nerdiest Protest I've ever been to. « Ph.D. Octopus. By Peter I just got back from Chicago, where, along with attending the American Historical Association, I participated in a series of protests held by Occupy Chicago, along with CACHE (Coalition Against Corporatization of Higher Education) that targeted the American Economics Association (AEA).
Its not everyday that the worlds of street protests and academic conferences blend so well. But then again, part of the point was to "puncture the bubble," that academic economists live in. MF's Missing Money Makes You Wonder About Goldman: Jonathan Weil. Six months ago the accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP said MF Global Holdings Ltd. and its units "maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2011."
A lot of people who relied on that opinion lost a ton of money. MF Global filed for bankruptcy on Oct. 31. Do Investors Stifle Innovation? (Part II) : Planet Money. Istvan Bara/Getty Images Note: This is the second of two related posts.
In his latest New York Times Magazine column, Adam Davidson writes, "from a C.E.O.' S perspective, long-term R. and D. is a lousy investment...the C.E.O. of DuPont who retired three years ago, told me that it's tough to get investors to think more than two years ahead — at most.' " To continue the discussion, we asked two economists on different sides of the debate - Baruch Lev of New York University and Shivaram Rajgopal of Emory University - to answer the following question: Are investors pressuring CEO's to cancel long-term R&D projects? Debates: Inflation: Statements. Is Any CEO Worth $189,000 Per Hour? The Destruction of Economic Facts. During the second half of the 19th century, the world's biggest economies endured a series of brutal recessions.
At the time, most forms of reliable economic knowledge were organized within feudal, patrimonial, and tribal relationships. If you wanted to know who owned land or owed a debt, it was a fact recorded locally—and most likely shielded from outsiders. At the same time, the world was expanding. Travel between cities and countries became more common and global trade increased. Rational Irrationality: Inside George Soros's "Monstrous Monkey House" Snow-capped peaks; nightcaps with Larry Summers; discussions of complexity theory over breakfast; Tennyson quotations from Gordon Brown at lunch.
No it's not Davos—it's Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, where over the weekend the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET), which George Soros set up in the wake of the financial crisis, held its second annual conference. Last year's inaugural get-together was held at King's College, Cambridge, the home of Keynes. This year's location also had a strong link to J.M.K. Amar Bhidé: In Defense of Human Judgment. In a recent highly publicized game of Jeopardy, two of the game's greatest past champions were beat by Watson, an IBM computer whose intelligence was based on algorithms.
It was hailed as the latest example of how software could outperform human beings. In the latest INET interview, Amar Bhidé, the author of the new book A Call for Judgment, counters that argument with a strong defense of the primacy of human judgment – at least when it comes to overseeing the economy and navigating the world of finance. How Our Economy Was Overrun by Monsters and What to Do About It - Umair Haque. By Umair Haque | 2:36 PM July 28, 2011 The monsters, they say, come out at night.
And right now, we're in a long, dark night of the economy. How Inferior American Education Caused The Credit/Real Estate/Sovereign Debt Bubbles and Why It's Preventing True Recovery. Cgasmediatvdrama.blogspot.comThis is a lengthy, highly provovative article illustrating in explicit detail my thoughts on how America's inferior education system made the Great Recession not only a foregone conclusion of indoctrinated GroupThink, but prevents a true recovery from recovery due to the abject fear of price clearing.
You may need to put your thinking caps on and exercise some patience and restraint with this one. I am going to follow it up with an explcit example of said groupthink by going against the conventional grain (yet again) and pointing out what many in the mainstream consider to be the most likely threat to economic prosperity in 2012 (and no, Iran is not even in the running on this one). I blame indoctrinated GroupThink for the inability of Wall Street to see the excessive coniferous expanse due to treebark blindness! Until the next post, though...

A scientist who applied for a job at the University of Kentucky claims he didn't get the job because he's a Christian.
Martin Gaskell was considered a top candidate for a prestigious position at the student observatory.
One member of the search committee said he was "breathtakingly above the other applicants." But other members of the committee said he was "something close to a creationist" and "potentially evangelical."
But Gaskell says he is not a creationist. He claims he was passed over for the job at UK's MacAdam Student Observatory three years ago because of his religion and statements that were perceived to be critical of the theory of evolution.
Gaskell has sued the university, claiming lost income and emotional distress. Last month, a judge rejected a motion from the university and allowed it to go to trial Feb. 8.
Prejudice against Christian scientists is nothing new. The movie, "Expelled," released a few years ago, exposed other cases of religious discrimination in the scientific community.

Hi guys,
This is on several of my tomatoe seedlings, what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance!
Follow-Up Postings:
Looks like a magnesium deficiency if they are all on the lower leaves. Young tomato plants often show deficiencies, so may not be an issue. There can be several causes, and maybe more. You'll have to determine why. 1. Fertilizer that lacks magnesium such as Miracle Gro, if you are using an inert medium. Epsom salts or dolomite lime might help depending on pH. 2. pH problems. High pH especially will lock out magnesium. High water pH can cause this. 3. Calcium/magnesium imbalance. Too much calcium can lock out magnesium. Hard water can also cause this. 4. Overwatering can cause uptake issues. 5. Over fertilization can cause lockout of magnesium. |

Item #: 101VTG117330-P Add to Wishlist
Description: What's old is new again in Safavieh's Vintage Collection of rugs inspired by the trend to recycling old carpets and over-dyeing them in brilliant colors to camouflage stains and flaws. Each rug is power loomed in Belgium of 100 percent organic viscose yarn in a low cut pile to recreate the threadbare appearance of worn vintage carpets. Yarns are deliberately dyed unevenly to add old-world character to the collection's classic Persian and Turkish designs.

- Weave: Machine Made
- Styles: Traditional Rugs

RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Safavieh's award-winning original collections range from the finest antique reproductions to the most fashion forward, contemporary rugs.

Colorful names are gaining popularity so any of these options would be great for a first or middle name!
The Best Colorful Baby Names for 2013
Inspired by the colors of spring? Take a look at these colorful baby name ideas and see what strikes your fancy.
Amber is warm, golden tone. This name makes me think of honey.
With fun spelling options like blue, blu, or bleu this name rose to popularity recently after a celebrity baby was given this colorful name.
Coral is a peachy orange and pink tone and makes me think of peaceful oceans and seashells.
Crystal makes me think of sparkling and twinkling glass. It's a pretty name for a little girl.
Ebony is a rich black color. It makes me think of midnight or dark stone.
I think the name Gray is so very cool. It also happens to work as a middle name with a lot of name combinations. Try it out!
That in between, ever changing, warm tone of eyes that can't decide if they are green or brown, this name would be super cute.
Indigo would be a strong name, but that's okay because it's also a strong color.
Jade, a rich and green gemstone, makes me think of countrysides and luxury.
Olive is an adorable name, and a pretty muted green color.
Rich and dark, Raven has an air of mystery and magic to it, don't you think?
A soft and dusty pink shade, Rose has a vintage quality and would be a sweet name for a little girl.
Ruby red, a slightly berry inspired shade of rich red named after the gemstone, this name is cute but has a richness to it.
Sable is basically a shade of black. I love the sound of it though and I thought you might too.
Names for the dusty, soft green colored herb, Sage is a name with an organic quality. I kind of adore it.
Bright and shining red, Scarlett is not to be overlooked.
A burnt orange and brown shade, Sienna has a natural feel and pretty ring to it.
Carefree, airy, and cheery, Skye makes me think of pretty pale blue hues and little girls in pigtails.
Shiny and metallic silver, Sterling is a great name for a little man with a shining future.
Rich purple with a hint of blue, Violet is a lovely name for a little girl that makes me think of pretty little flowers.

The school district purchased 5,000 iPads, enough for every student in Fraser Public Schools, from Developmental Kindergarten to high school, to have one-to-one access to Apple's best-selling tablet.
Funding for the project came from the passing of the District's $19.9 million bond in 2011.
The deployment, which began at the elementary school level in the fall, gives each classroom iPads for students from developmental kindergarten through Grade 2, and individual iPads for each student in grades 3-12. In addition to student technology, teachers and administrators also received MacBook Pro laptops and iPads, at the end of last school year.
"Teachers can now leverage technology at the point of instruction rather than only having access to computers during the assigned computer lab time," Dr. David Richards, Superintendent of Fraser Public Schools, said in a statement. "Our teachers can customize each child's educational plan to better meet the student's learning needs in each content area."
In addition to its own support team, Apple trainers have been working with the District, providing professional development to staff members.

The Lawyer

Job | Lawyer |
Images of The Lawyer The Lawyer Quotes |
The Lawyer (aka just Attorney) is an attorney who has had several run-ins with the Gang. Like The Waitress, his real name is unknown.
The Lawyer has a strong dislike for the gang. He often uses his sharp intellect and educational background against the Gang.
Personal LifeEdit
He went to Harvard. ("The Gang Exploits the Mortgage Crisis")
He had a lovely wife. But, at some point, she decided to leave him. From 05x08 we know that their divorce process was very emotionally turbulent for The Lawyer (because he was still very much in love with her) - here is why he had to turn away her photo on his desk, sleep in a fleabag motel and even had a several of "crying episodes".
He is not Jewish (he states this after Frank refers to him as "the Jew lawyer"). ("Pop-Pop: The Final Solution")
Behind The Lawyer you can see a plaque than says "Desert storm veteran" this means its very possible The Lawyer is a veteran of a Nato country involved in operation Desert Storm
Season ThreeEdit
The Gang mistook the Lawyer for having personal involvement as the executor of Barbara Reynolds' will even though he had never met her. ("Dennis and Dee's Mom Is Dead")
Season FiveEdit
The Lawyer was eager to personally stop Frank - he represented a family that Frank is trying to force out of their house. ("The Gang Exploits the Mortgage Crisis") After Charlie made an attempt to prove that he's more legally apt than the actual lawyer, he challenged him to a duel; the lawyer immediately accepted, claiming to have a loaded gun in his office desk.
The Gang later went to him to get patents for products that they have created. ("Paddy's Pub: Home of the Original Kitten Mittens") He then tricked them into signing a contract which gives him all the profits made from their products and includes a restraining order.
He also made hundreds of copies so Mac can't eat the contracts - a call back to earlier in the episode when Mac eats Dee's waitress contract making it null and void.
Season SixEdit
The Lawyer represented Maureen Ponderosa in her divorce from Dennis pro bono because he hates Dennis and the Gang. After meeting with Dennis' incompetent lawyer Jack Kelly (Charlie's uncle) the Lawyer and Jack map out an agreement where Dennis and Maureen will divorce and Dennis will assume all of her debts. Plus, now Dennis will have to make alimony payments to her. ("Dennis Gets Divorced")
Season EightEdit
The Lawyer, in his role as the executor of Barbara Reynolds' estate, has to tell Dee and Dennis that their grandfather, Pop-Pop, is in a coma and is on life support, and since they are his last living blood relatives, they must decide if he should remain on life support or be allowed to die. He seems very eager for them to decide to pull the plug on Pop-Pop, because that would mean his duties as Barbara's executor are done and he will never have to see Dennis, Dee, or anyone else in the Gang again. When Dee and Dennis hesitate to pull the plug, The Lawyer has them sign a power of attorney agreement so that he can give the authorization to stop Pop-Pop's life support. However, Pop-Pop begins breathing on his own after the respirators are turned off, so The Lawyer is not free of The Gang yet. ("Pop-Pop: The Final Solution")
- Season Three: Dennis and Dee's Mom Is Dead
- Season Five: The Gang Exploits the Mortgage Crisis, Paddy's Pub: Home of the Original Kitten Mittens
- Season Six: Dennis Gets Divorced
- Season Eight: Pop-Pop: The Final Solution
- The Lawyer is the second unnamed recurring character on the show. The first one is The Waitress.
- According to Dee, The Lawyer's ex-wife looks like a "stone-cold bitch". (05x08)
- Lawyer is not the only person who have restraining order against The Gang: other person happened to be Sully - their former friend who has restraining order particularly against Charlie. ("Dennis and Dee's Mom Is Dead") And yes, Waitress definitely should get it, too.
- A Twitter message from Glenn Howerton, dated April 25, 2012, reads: "Outlined a new episode today.
Very heavy on The Lawyer". So prepare to see Attorney again in Season 8! (Which we do, in the season premiere "Pop-Pop: The Final Solution"). - Though the character is generally referred to as "The Lawyer", including by the show's creators (see the Glenn Howerton's tweet above), the credits always call him either just "Attorney" ("Dennis and Dee's Mom Is Dead", "Dennis Gets Divorced") or "The Attorney" (all other episodes).
- The Lawyer makes an appearance in a promotional trailer for Season 10 (see it for yourself here.)

I love getting together monthly with artist friends and making art. It's rejuvenating. I especially love the focus required to create something. It forces me to be in the present, which is the best place to be, in my opinion! This month, I decided to do some painting on canvas with acrylic, creating point circle designs inspired by Australian Aboriginal art. Fun!

The AD7274/AD7273 are high speed 12-bit and 10-bit, low power, successive-approximation ADCs respectively. The parts operate from a single 2.35 V to 3.6 V power supply and feature throughput rates up to 3 MSPS.
The EVAL-AD7274CB and the EVAL-AD7273CB can be used to evaluate the AD7274 and the AD7273 respectively. Accompanying each evaluation kit is the AD7274/73CB evaluation board and a CD-ROM containing a Technical Note, the datasheet and a description for the Evaluation Board Controller. The Technical Note describes the evaluation board for the AD7274/AD7273. Full details on the AD7274/AD7273 are also available in the AD7274/AD7273 datasheet (which can be downloaded from the AD7274 or AD7273 Product Pages) and this should be consulted in conjunction with this Technical Note when using the Evaluation Board.
On-board components include an AD780, which is a pin programmable +2.5 V or +3 V ultra high precision bandgap reference, the AD711 quad op-amp used to buffer the analog inputs and the REF195 precision bandgap voltage reference providing a 5V reference voltage. There are various link options which are explained in detail on page 2.
Interfacing to this board is through a 96-Way connector. This 96-Way connector is compatible with the Evaluation board controller (EVAL-CONTROL BRD2), which is also available from Analog Devices. External sockets are provided for the AIN input, the VIN input and the VBIASED input.
Included in the EVAL-AD7274CB and EVAL-AD7273CB evaluation board package is software for controlling and evaluating the performance of the AD7274 and AD7273 when it is operated with the EVALUATION BOARD CONTROLLER. The EVAL-AD7274/73CB Demonstration/Evaluation Software runs under Windows 95, 98, 2000 and NT. The user interface on the PC is via a dedicated program written especially for the EVAL-AD7274CB and EVAL-AD7273CB.

Lightning-Bruins game postponed
FEB 09, 2013 2:24p ET
No makeup date had been scheduled yet, according to a Bruins spokesman.
Originally scheduled for 1 p.m., the game was pushed back until 7 p.m. to allow the storm to pass. But public transportation was not expected to resume on Saturday, and roads were still being cleared. A travel ban was in effect until 4 p.m.
The Bruins already are playing an abbreviated schedule because of the lockout that wiped out the first 3 months of the season.

Okay, I've been trying to create a timeline in a different universe. Thing is, I want to create four sets of calenders for four different sectors of a galaxy I made up. Would it work or would it not make any sense? If you need an example, let me know. Because, right now, I'm frustrated and confused... :confused:

Like any other appliance, this refrigerator needs maintenance and care. After reading some of the bad reviews, i can understand some of the issues but some reviews are completely unrelated to the product. First, if you read the warranty on almost all the appliances sold today, none will cover cosmetic damages. The same is true for your brand new car. None will cover the interior for obvious reasons. Shelves and guards don't brake by themselves. If you have kids, i don't recommend this or any kind of french refrigerator because even the lower shelves on the fridge size will be too high for them, this is specially true for door guards as they tend to pull the items instead of lifting them. This modern fridge have electronic components, if the electric grid in your location is not reliable and you already lost a TV and and a radio, don't blame the equipment. If you leave near the ocean like i do, the gouge on the stainless steel is not exterior grade, this means that you have to take care of it. Rust spots are normal with this kind of stainless steel and they are preventable with WD40. If you already have rust on the stainless steel, just clean them with WD40 as well. Do not use stainless steel cleaners. If your warranty expired or you did not read the small letters, don't blame the retailer but blame yourself. Etc, etc... Now, the fridge is excellent for the price. Mine cost $1487 including taxes and I did not replaced a 20 year old fridge so i know what to expect from a modern appliance. First off, mine is connected to a 1500 watts battery backup to protect the unit from surges and to cover for the generator gap. Then the first thing i did was to cover the unit with WD40 like i do to all my stainless steel appliances. The unit itself is excellent and i love the door ice maker (still figuring out how it achieves ice temperature in the fridge area). The ice maker is small but quick and it uses an infrared sensor instead of a mechanical level like older models so as soon as the ice drops, it makes more. Also the ice maker design is by gravity instead of a screw designed like side by side units. I love LED lights and this unit has a lot of them. You will not find a dark spot in any area including the freezer. My freezer is in an enclosure so i don't know if its noisy but it don't feel like it. Things I don't like is that the ice maker does not work if the door is open, so a multitasking person like me cannot open the right door to grab a soda and fill the cup with ice at the same time. Doors do not close by gravity most of the time so if you are accustomed to leaving your fridge door open because it will close itself, it will not happen in this unit. Fortunately like many modern appliances, it will tell you when the doors are open for a prolonged time. Other than these inconsequential inconveniences, there are no other issues that i identify. If you purchase and take proper care of it, you will love it for years...

bought this fridge 3yrs ago. condensing tube broke and now sears tech advises 1174.00 to fix it. Plus no guarantees once fixed. made this fridge worthless. I look around and found hundreds if not thousands of others having same issue. DONT BY THIS PRODUCT! You will regret it like I do. oh called Kenmore sears hotline they said sorry nothing they can do. Should have bought the extended warranty they said. Really I said how bout the other folks the hundreds if not thousands of others? Phone went silent. Truly worthless.

Bought this fridge or a similar one to it 12/2012 with an ice maker installed. The refrigerator works well so far, but the ice maker not so much. It makes ice, but will not dispense it. The ice maker was repaired twice within the first 15 months of ownership and now requires a third repair. The original nor the two repairs lasted more than 9 months. I did not buy the extended warranty so Sears will not pay for additional repairs. And the worst part was dealing with the front line customer solutions employees. One actually admitted that Sears can't get reliable parts because of the slumping economy. I can not recommend Sears ice makers that come in their refrigerators.

Good refrigerator but doesn't make a lot of ice. It is ok for a family that doesn't get ice every time they drink water or juice.

Please, do follow my advice and don't buy from Sears! Less than a year ago I bought this STAINLESS STEEL refrigerator and now, the doors are rusting! It's not outside, therefore its not because of humidity and I have only use stainless steel wipes to clean it. I've been calling Sears and Kenmore for about 2 weeks now and NO ONE has been able to help me. It seems like the 400 dollars in extended warranty I bought doesn't cover this, because "cosmetics" is not important or essential to the fridge. My advice comes from an angry and disappointed customer, DO NOT BUY FROM SEARS! They are the sweetest to buy from, but the most useless to get help from.

We replaced a side by side refrigerator with a french door refrigerator. We like this refrigerator. It looks good, it is quiet and it is very roomy inside the freezer and refrigerator sections. I can fit pretty much everything I want into it. However, I do have two problems with it. One; the ice dispenser dispenses water and ice at a bad angle. The ice and water comes out towards me making a mess. I have to be very careful when using it. Secondly; it is very very large. Unfortunately, so many are being made giant size these days. It looks funny in our small kitchen and we can't reach the top of it. Unfortunately, we would have to go really small (smaller than the one we were replacing) In order to get one that fits a little better in our space, however, if we did that, we would loose a lot of inside room. I guess we will live with the size. Beware when looking at refrigerators, most are meant for large spaces. Measure, Measure, Measure.

Just bought this new fride 3 weeks ago. I love it. Works great for our family of 5. Price was amazing!

I love the bottom freezer. I used it hit my head on a top freezer when taking food out of the frig and the side freezers never have enough room in either the frig or the freezer; so I always had to have an extra frig in the garage. Now I can eliminate the garage frig. Also I like the icemaker in the door not taking up room in the frig part like some other models. Now if they could just make a stainless frig without allowing for finger prints and smudge marks on the doors when you open them, they would be perfect. Feels like I am constantly wiping off finger prints.

Is it true?
22nd October 2007 - 4:27 PM
I heard someone say that people in Louisiana eat Nutria rat? Was he serious or is it a joke? If it's true what does it taste like? I can't imagine eating a rat, yuck they are so dirty and gross.
14th February 2007 - 7:58 PM
No one eats Nutira rats.
14th February 2007 - 8:01 PM
Ok thanks, I didn't think that sounded right or truthful.

Don't believe the hype if someone tells you Louisiana people don't eat Nutira rats. If it walks, crawl, swim, fly or jump its a possible meal with a dark gravy!!!!!!
I had the experience to eatting Nutira Rat only once. It was given to me by a friend that I told, I would never eat a rat. However, during a recent visit to a friendship gathering, I was given what I was told to be Aligatior meat. I served myself a healthy plate and pigged out. YES!! it was off the chain good!!!!!!! But once I found out what I had just consumed, I was mad as He** but my stomach was full. The meat taste like rabbit. I wouldn't have it again as long as I know thats what I am about to eat. Nutira is not dirty, if you eat fish, swrimps or orsters then you would enjoy the taste of Nutira. Just don't ask about it, if you don't want your stomach turning over. Good Luck and give it a try.

I have never eaten Nutria but my grandmother used to. She would cook them down in a brown gravy. My sister-in-laws parents used to eat them too. I believe anything that moved was cooked in a brown gravy and tasted good.

My mom said she used to eat Nutria too. They used to call it Nutria, she said the rat was never added to the description. As I said before my grandmother used to cook it in a brown gravy when they went to the camp. My mother said it tasted just like chicken.

I think it's rediculous to assume that most Cajuns eat nutrias. I've never, EVER heard of anyone in my family eating those things. I'm not saying no one ever has, but I hope people realize that it's not a "common meal".
12th April 2007 - 9:25 PM
Yes it is true. They are more like otters than anything else. I haven't tried it but I have seen it eaten. As well as racoon, rabbit, and squirrel.
5th May 2007 - 10:53 AM
I'm a cajun from Reserve,La. and in the 60's when my daddy was out of work, we ate from the land, and we had nutira rat on our table to eat when no other game was avaible.

I'm sure that during tough times, Cajuns ate many things to survive. All I'm saying is that I believe it's a mistake, or even a stereotype, to assume that a nutria is a constant on a Cajun's menu. Certainly not the case in our family.

My maternal grandfather, an Acadian Hebert who lived in northern WI, like his Quebecois father ate whatever was available in the outdoors. They worked in the woods making a living as lumber workers and picking wild ginseng and other wild herbs and greens, and to feed themselves in large measure they planted small garden plots and they trapped and they hunted. They ate muskrat, for example, and I know if they'd had Nutria available in WI they would have eaten it, and it would have been cooked well and tasted good.
My father's father, an Ulster Scot-Irish descendant, likewise worked in the woods, but he did not hunt or eat wild game, he gardened and purchased or traded for locally-raised food and supplemented with fish he caught in the river every day. When he was working as a saw filer for a few years in the mountains in western NC, he did eat squirrel and raccoon and opossum and rabbit, probably because they were plentiful and that's what the native neighbors ate.
I don't understand the stigma attached to eating Nutria or any other rodent if you are a meat eater. What difference if it is a rat of one species or a rodent of another? Did our grandparents really distinguish between them? If people were "reduced" to eating Nutria during bad times, perhaps it was considered a desperate act to some extent because Nutria is not as large and does not provide as much meat as perhaps another animal would, or perhaps it is less tender or more "gamy" and therefore less desirable than a domestically raised animal.
It's interesting the food prohibitions people entertain. I have a friend whose father was born and raised in Slovakia. He wouldn't eat pumpkin in any form because that's what they fed the pigs. Now, you eat the pig, so therefore you're eating what it's eaten, correct? And is the pig so disgusting an animal that whatever they eat should not be considered food? I'm not making fun of his aversion to pumpkin, I'm making an observation and trying to understand it.
Sorry, went off on a tangent there. But I wonder, if Nutria tastes like chicken (or perhaps frog?), is it a stronger flavor than domestic chicken, and what is the texture like?
13th August 2007 - 11:13 PM
People do not eat nutria rats, but uncle feeds them to the gators on the gator farm
19th August 2007 - 9:28 PM
Dirty and gross? I am from Lousiana and take much offense to that. I am surely not dirty and gross. No, I do not Nutria nor do I know anyone that does. But, there are many things around the world that people eat that I find gross. Snails are gross, so should I say that anyone in your state that eats snails are dirty and gross? Grow up!
19th August 2007 - 9:52 PM
Chill out Moe! I think you misread the message. I was saying that rats are dirty and gross not people. I have talked to people from Louisiana both on this board, on the telephone and on other websites and happen to think you are very nice people down there. Very down to earth and friendly. I hope to visit your state someday also.
14th September 2007 - 9:53 AM
Hell No! that person was joking. Do you think anybody will eat a nutria rat. I'm from Louisiana and i sure i don't eat that, that just nasty to think any one would do that. O.K., we eat craw fish, shrimps, fish, but oh hell no, not no nutria rat. Kate you need to think twice before asking that question again?
20th September 2007 - 6:58 PM
I live in Baton Rouge. Everyone i know but a few eat nutra. I f you think about it, We dont eat cats and dogs. We dont eat meat eaters. A nutra isnt actually a rat. Just a name.Nutras dont eat meat. They are vegetarians. They are cleaner than eating pork or chicken.Go visit a chicken coop then watch a nutra swim.I know what i would rather eat.
22nd October 2007 - 4:27 PM
Actually Nutria is cleaner than chicken.
22nd October 2007 - 8:51 PM
Thank you Rachael and Amy for your honest answers. Thank you also for not writing a post that is attacking me for asking such a question. I have recently seen a picture of one and it looks very much like a beaver almost, so yes it's not rat like at all. I take back what I said before about it being rat-like and gross.
There are people up here where I live that think eating anything wild is gross but to some of us it's just the way we live and what we like to eat. It's nothing to be ashamed of.
20th November 2007 - 2:34 PM
Neutra is an animal that some people eat. I am born and raise cajun and have eaten lots of things, but that is not one that I have tried. Maybe one night when I have nothing better to do....maybe not....Bon Appetit
20th November 2007 - 4:31 PM
Yes it is true people do eat Nutira Rat. They are very clean animals by the way. They are vegg. eaters. You normaly cook them in a gravy and put over rice. It is really not a rat like you wold think. They are really good eating I have tasted them before..
Bryan Lafleur
25th November 2007 - 6:46 AM
Wow, what a broad base of answers. As Doug said, no one can stereotype anyone, but I add that is the case from either angle. I've eaten them, along with muskrat, beaver, armadillo, and racoons. I used to hunt and trap with a passion, like many other Cajuns, and Cajuns seem to be as a whole, less repulsed by eating critters. But even then, I knew a lot of my cohorts wouldnt eat it.
But people need to consider what has been brought up. Before being repulsed by a name of something, they need to consider what they have come to accept as "normal, non gross" food. It seems to be acceptable to eat catfish, alligators, chickens, and pork. Those critters alone are absolutely disgusting based on how they live and what they eat. I've seen catfish eat completely rotten stuff, and chicken eat their own feces, but who considers them gross? No one says a disgusting person is living like a nutria, they say he is living like a pig, but few find pigs gross to eat. A nutria is a rodent, not a rat. As has been said, they eat vegetation, which makes their meat non gamy tasting. No different than eating rabbit, which is raised commercially for meat, or squirrels.
Our society and our upbringing determine what we think is "gross", not our common sense.

I know where I come from(New Iberia,Louisiana,now living in California) they eat Musk Rat. I personally never tasted it. But I can tell you what it look like... A large Black Rat about the size of a child. About 3 to 3 1/2 feet tall.I thought it was the nastiest sight you ever want to see. I thought they had killed it for fun and would throw it away,they said"no" we are going to eat it. YUCK!!!
20th May 2009 - 8:55 AM
no its not ture thats gross and you need to use the internet more then asking people who know nothing about what they are talking about thats all kinds of wrong information
24th May 2009 - 11:24 AM
People from Louisiana do eat Nutria rat. My boyfriend is from Morgan City and he told me that he and his grandfather used to hunt them, skin them and grill them. He now lives in New Jersey and saw one the other day and almost caught it. I was also amazed when he told me about them. I'm from Detroit, and never heard of a nutria rat. But I can't really knock it. My grandparents are from the south also and eat raccoon, turtle, frog legs, rabbit and almost everything else. I think it's just the word "rat" that has most people shook. But he said it's pretty good when you throw it on the grill. Who knows, maybe I'll try it one day.
13th June 2009 - 12:55 AM
I am not a Cajun, but I have lived in Louisiana all of my life. Although I have not ever eaten Nutria, I probably would. What's the difference between nutria and squirrel? Not much.
A meat eater is a meat eater. I would probably eat anything if it was cooked well and tasted good. What's with all the phobias and taboos about food? People eat all sorts of stuff all over the world. To each his/her own...

[1236] Comparison of Hybrid Capture 2 HPV Borderline or Low Positive Results with the Cobas® HPV Test Results in the ATHENA Trial
Arundhati Rao, Stephen Young, Barbara Body, Carol Eisenhunt, Abha Sharma, Catherine Behrens. Scott and White Hospital, Temple, TX; TriCore Reference Laboratories/University of New Mexico Health Science Center, Albuquerque, NM; LabCorp, Greensboro/Winston-Salem, NC; Diagnostic Cytology Lab, Indianapolis, IN; Roche Molecular Systems, Pleasanton, CA
Background: The Digene Hybrid Capture 2 assay (HC2, Qiagen, MD) is often used as a standard for new HPV detection tests, but at the lower limits of detection the reproducibility, sensitivity and specificity for detection of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) is suspect and samples with RLU values of greater than or equal to 1 but less than 2.5 have be retested. In this study we compare the performance of the new FDA- approved Cobas® HPV test (Roche, CA) against the HC2 assay in the borderline or low positive range.
Design: This study is taken from the baseline data of the ATHENA HPV study which enrolled 47,208 women 21 years and older between 2008-2009 who had cytology, HPV testing with the HC2 test, Roche Cobas® HPV Test and Roche Linear Array High Risk Genotyping assay (LA) performed in 5 accredited clinical labs. This sub-analysis includes 331 patients with RLU/CO values on the HC2 test between 1 and 5.0 RLU. When repeat testing for HC2 did not yield a definitive result or had inadequate volume, results were reported as indeterminate (59 patients total, RLU available for 55). For these 331 patients, cytology results were as follows: 194 Negative, 111 ASC-US and 26 ≥ASC-US.
Results: There were no indeterminates or inadequates with the Cobas® HPV Test compared to 55 indeterminates for the HC2 test. Of the 56 negative samples by the LA assay, 2 were negative by the HC2 Test compared to 48 negative by the cobas HPV Test (Negative Percent Agreement [NPA] of 3.6% for HC2 compared to 85.7% for the Cobas® HPV Test). Sequencing revealed NPA of 4.3% for HC 2 compared to 52.2% for the Cobas® HPV test. Results from biopsies adjudicated by 3 expert pathologists revealed sensitivities in this low range was 96.8% for the HC2 test and 90.3% for the Cobas test, but the specificity of the cobas® HPV Test was 24.3% compared to 1.6% for HC2.
Conclusions: In the low RLU positive range, the Roche Cobas® HPV Test showed comparable sensitivity, greater specificity and better NPA than HC2 without the need for retesting when HPV detection or biopsy-confirmed CIN is considered as an end-point. Additionally, the Cobas® HPV Test provides HPV16/18 genotyping result which eliminates the need for reflex testing in patients who are HPV positive and cytology negative.

Scuderia Toro Rosso wants to jump three places with the STR8 [w/video]
Toro Rosso's STR8 Formula One car has gone backward in order to go forward. The team had been trying to optimize a 'double floor' sidepod design for the last couple of seasons but never got it where they wanted it – the team finished eighth in the Constructor's Championship in 2011, ninth in 2012. Chief Designer Luca Furbatto went back to a more traditional sidepod design with the STR8, and additionally worked on areas of weight distribution, redesigning the rear end to be more compact, developing a more aerodynamic rear suspension that provided more setup options and providing a season-long development track for the aero department. He said the only carryover part from the STR7 is the steering wheel.
The new approach is part of a complete revamp of the team itself, said to be about half the size of a top team: STR poached James Key, ex-technical director at Sauber, late last year, has restructured its aerodynamics division, added a vehicle performance department and worked to strengthen the communication between its base in Faenza, Italy and its aero personnel in the UK.
