Doctor insights on:
Is Transvaginal Ultrasound More Accurate Than A Pelvic Ultrasound
What's the difference between a pelvic ultrasound and a transvaginal ultrasound?
Nearly same...: There are two ways to image the pelvic organs. One is by transabdominal route (transducer in placed on the skin of lower abdomen with a distended urinary bladder); and the other is transvaginal ultrasound where the transducer is placed inside the vagina to assess pelvic organs. Transvaginal ultrasound means just that; whereas, pelvic ultrasound includes both transabdominal and transvaginal US. ...Read moreGet help now ›
Sonogram (Definition)
The sonogram is a test that looks at body organs with no radiation. It uses sound waves and can give us a 2 dimensional view of organs such as the kidney, liver, heart, and lungs. It can define spaces that are either solid or full of fluid. I can also guide large needles into an organ or near the spine, and can help define the area being cut open. Its a ...Read more
Would an pelvic ultrasound, transvaginal ultrasound or cat scan show up a miscarriage?
Ultrasound: A combination of ultrasound (either transabdominal or transvaginal), B-hcg levels, and clinical information are used to diagnose a miscarriage. CT is not used because of its ionizing radiation. ...Read moreGet help now ›
I took a pelvic ultrasound and also a transvaginal ultrasound they both picked up a right adnexal cyst and i missed my period could the be a pregnancy?
Cyst: Take a pregnancy test to determine if you are pregnant. If so, you would have what is called a corpus luteum cyst, and this nourishes the pregnancy until your placenta develops. If negative, it may be a simple ovarian cyst that will resolve on its own without any problems. ...Read moreGet help now ›
Is a pelvic ultrasound as good as a transvaginal u/s at measuring size of ovaries? Are they both accurate?
Possibly equal: It really all depends on how well the ovaries are seen. If the bladder is full and the ovaries are well demonstrated transabdominally then measurements will be as accurate. Transvaginal ultrasound usually provides a more detailed look at the ovaries because the transducer is right next to them. However, sometimes the ovaries are hard to find transvaginally. Each patient is different. ...Read moreGet help now ›
Does a pelvic transvaginal ultrasound hurt?
No: A transvaginal ultrasound is done by inserting an ultrasound probe into the vagina to better evaluate the pelvic organs. Lubrication is applied to the top of the probe to ease insertion. An ultrasound should not be painful. Some women describe a "pressure" sensation but pain should not be experienced. ...Read moreGet help now ›
Hi I am 27 and had a pelvic & a transvaginal ultrasound it was extremely painful and the tech said I have free fluid in my pelvic what does this mean?
Few things: Sometimes the exam can be painful just because it is an uncomfortable procedure other times because there is an abnormality they are pressing on. The free fluid depends on how much. A tiny amount is normal in females. ...Read moreGet help now ›
Can anyone tell me if the pelvic transvaginal ultrasound hurts like a pap?
Neither should hurt: If pap smears were painful, please discuss it with your doctor. You may need to relax and not tense/constrict your vagina around the speculum. ...Read moreGet help now ›
If I have a transvaginal ultrasound done and they still say nothing is wrong, should I push for a pelvic laprascopy? Have all the symptoms of endometriosis and have had tests done and dr's tell me see nothing wrong. Have very heavy and painful menstruatio
Hmmm, this can be : A tough one. Painful , heavy menses can be remedied with a trial of birth control pills or other forms of hormonal suppression depending on your medical history, etc. Might be best to try this before pursuing laparoscopy. Okay to ask your doctor about their opinion on surgery. Answer will depend on your particular situation. Don't be afraid to bring it up and one can also seek a second opinion. ...Read moreGet help now ›
My doctor referred me to do a transvaginal pelvic ultrasound. What is this for?
Assess uterus/pelvis: Your physician would order such a test for imaging of your ovaries, uterus, tubes (or all female pelvic organs). Please discuss with your doctor what the indication and anticipated information is. It is a very safe and painless test that may cause some discomfort due to the insertion of a vaginal probe. ...Read moreGet help now ›
Can a transvaginal or pelvic ultrasound pick up cervical cancer?
Not really: Cervical cancer is diagnosed by direct visualization of the cervix and pap smear. ...Read moreGet help now ›
Transvaginal Ultrasound (Definition)
An ultrasound is an imaging study in which a probe emits and receives sound waves which rebound off of internal organs in order to visualize them. For a transvaginal ultrasound a specially designed probe is lubricated and placed into the vagina in order to better ...Read more

They would put a step ladder up to the water buffaloes so that we could climb on and then move it for pictures. That was the start of our day on the back of an animal.

A married man is desperate for intimacy but his wife refuses
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Q: I've been married 14 years. We had a great relationship initially; our sex life was very good, but this faded. Before marrying we saw a counsellor about our sex life, but it went nowhere.
Sex was "scheduled" once weekly. In 10 years, she's initiated it only twice, and that was when she was ready to have a baby. As soon as she was pregnant, she completely lost interest again.
We have discussions every four to six months when I describe my frustration at our lack of intimacy. She then complains about having chores with the house and kids.
She's right, because I travel for work and keep longer hours, providing the majority of finances. She's a professional, working part-time for flexibility to pick up kids, make dinner, etc.
It ends with me promising to help more and her promising more intimacy.
Weeks later, I've done more and she hasn't touched me — not even holding hands, or cuddling. If I try to hug her, she says it's not a good time.
I recently suggested counselling. She said it didn't work before.
We now have sex once a year when we go away for a weekend. I've become more withdrawn because of her coldness. We lay in bed at opposite ends. I'm pretty sure she hasn't had anyone else, and I haven't had anyone.
I do love my wife and my kids. She's a great mother and a good wife otherwise. I'm worried that we'll end up, or already have, like her parents. They sleep in different rooms and fight more than any couple I know.
Is there any hope or have I simply become the father of her kids who is cheaper to keep than divorce? I don't want it to be over.
Desperately at a Loss
A:Ten years of distance and rejection is a cold, lonely sentence and it seems there is more of the same ahead.
It's time for a full-press effort for change. Talk about her parents' loveless marriage and the likely affect that had on her as a child. Tell her that's the model she's helping create for her kids, too.
Speak of your own part. Suggest you work fewer hours, so you can be a better partner. Perhaps she'll work outside the home for stimulation in her profession and a break from housebound routines.
All these changes and any other changes are worth trying. Otherwise, the massive change of divorce will be the one you'll both face, sooner rather than later.
Q: It's my second month in high school and I really like this guy. He has a girlfriend but flirts with me a lot and it makes me feel special. But I don't think I'm the only girl he makes feel this way.
I don't want to ruin his relationship, and will stay out of it for now, but even if he weren't dating anybody else, I'm worried that I'd get played. I don't know why I'm so attracted to him.
Confused High-Schooler
A: You've got good instincts. You sense that he's a charmer, which means, yes, you could get played. If he were your boyfriend how would you like his flirting with lots of others — as he does with you — and his making many girls feel "special?" Not so much.
Steer clear. You're smart enough to sense that even the good looker who comes on to you can be more trouble than fun.
A loveless marriage is a life sentence if you don't insist on change.

Very messed up stepdaughter, she was abused and neglected most her life by her mother and then the moms sister.
We were awarded sole custody of my stepdaughter 2 yrs ago. She has very violent outbursts and even has her classmates fearing her. She has been receiving counseling and psychiatric help this whole time. From what we have figured out and assume, she was severely neglected and abused by all adults but her father. He is her only parent since the mom signed off all rights. She still tries to be a fixture in her life but only when its convenient for her. I used to look at her like a sister but have severed this relationship as more and more comes out of our daughter. We have told her to never contact us again. It is not good for our daughter. We do not feel that the services she is receiving is her. When the aunt brought her and all her belonging to us, we were appalled. She only had one bag of clothes and one of toys. All the clothes were rags and the toys were all broken. When ever we buy her something, even if it is a necessity, she has tantrums and acts like a spoiled brat. I have never felt that it was right to buy something for one child and not for the other children, so I always try to get each of them something even if it is small. Someone has her think that she is evil and not worthy of anything. When she acts up, we put her in a time out and wait for her to calm down so we can talk about her behavior. She knows it is wrong but either does not want to or can not control her self. Lately she has started slamming her head on the wall. We have tried to talk sense in to herIn Topics: Discipline and behavior challenges

Passion is the show that divides even Sondheim devotees. There are die-hard admirers who find the score – which instead of songs offers a nagging network of motifs and internal echoes – in singularly short supply of the eponymous commodity. Its gothic story has been dismissed as simultaneously distasteful and incredible. But Jamie Lloyd's Donmar revival of this rebarbative 1994 musical makes a compelling case for its power to unsettle and affront.
The Prince of Homburg, Donmar Warehouse, London
Friday 30 July 2010
Heinrich von Kleist's The Prince of Homburg (1811) is one of those deeply ambiguous works that can be co-opted by diametrically opposed political factions. It's said to have been a favourite of Hitler's and insofar as it dramatises the triumph of Prussian military discipline over individual impulse, you can see why the Nazis were keen to appropriate it. But it is also a lethal indictment of this nascent ideology. It may sound a queer objection to complain that Hitler could never have been hoodwinked into approving of this new version by Dennis Kelly. But in equipping the play with a radically different conclusion, this distorting adaptation robs the Kleist original of its subtlety, symmetry, and enigmatic equipoise.

NFL veterans who started playing tackle football before the age of 12 are more likely to have cognitive difficulties after their careers, according to a study published on Wednesday in the journal Neurology.
Two former professional wrestlers accuse the WWE of "selling violence" while ignoring concussions that they say left them with serious brain injuries.
Soccer was not kind to Rob Friend the last few months but the Canadian international striker leaves the sport with plenty of fond memories and good friends. Friend announced his retirement earlier this month after a championship season with the Los Angeles Galaxy cut short by concussion-related problems. The 33-year-old native of Kelowna, B.C., missed more than five months of action in 2014.
A study has found that the number of children and youth treated for concussions in both emergency departments and doctors' offices in Ontario has risen significantly.
Teenagers who have suffered a concussion or other traumatic brain injury are more likely to report using alcohol and drugs compared to peers with no history of such an injury, researchers have found.
Researchers with the Canadian Sports Concussion Project will be studying the brain of a former Calgary Stampeders football player who died last week.
A federal judge in Chicago is considering preliminary approval of a US$75 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit brought against the NCAA by former football players and other athletes who say the organization didn't protect them enough from concussions suffered in college.
Tuesday remains the deadline to opt out of the NFL's class-action settlement of concussion claims after a judge denied requests by former players for an extension.
A new study has found that teens who have suffered a concussion or other traumatic brain injury report higher rates of harmful behaviours -- and the finding is particularly evident among girls.
The family of former San Diego Chargers defensive back Paul Oliver is suing the NFL and the team for wrongful death, blaming sports-related concussions for his suicide last year.
The family of Junior Seau has opted out of a proposed NFL legal settlement with former players over concussion-related injuries.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Cycler The leather is suspect l am pleased with the overall look,but because of the price disappointed with the leather.The metal buckle caused the leather to crack after the first few times. I wore it. October 7, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Bob23 Beautiful belt I like it very much Despite what I wrote in the summary I am returning the belt because the quality of the leather is very poor. With very little wear the metal buckle has worn through the darker surface leather and the lighter leather below shows on all the different holes I tried I love the belt and am sorry I have to return it April 8, 2014

Es war eine fantastische Zeit bei Deirde und Hans. Die beiden sind nicht nur ausgezeichnete und herzliche Gastgeber, sondern auch ein tolles Team. Ob gemeinsames Frühstück, Ausflugs- und ÖPNV-Tipps - wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt. Zudem besitzt Hans echte Entertainer-Qualitäten :-)
Das Haus liegt wirklich zentral, sodass die Innenstadt leicht zu Fuß zu erreichen ist. Außerdem hält die Buslinie 16 (direkte Verbindung zum Airport) nur eine Straße entfernt.
Wir wurden sehr freundlich und persönlich empfangen. Unser Zimmer war gemütlich und warm eingerichtet. Das gesamte Haus von Hans und Deidre strahlt sehr viel Atmosphäre aus, in der wir uns sofort sehr wohl gefühlt haben. Das für uns vorbereitete Frühstück war gut, zusätzliche Wünsche wurden sofort und sichtbar gern erfüllt. Hans und Deidre hatten außerdem jede Menge guter Tipps hinsichtlich des kulturellen und gastronomischen Angebotes ihrer Stadt parat, die wir gern angenommen haben. Das gilt auch für den Bustipp von und zum Flughafen. Das Haus unserer beiden Gastgeber ist - das ist ein unschätzbarer Vorteil - ideal als Standort, von dem aus man in kurzer Zeit alle wichtigen Ziele in Dublin einschließlich der zahlreichen Pubs zu Fuß erreichen kann.
Dear Hans & Deidre,
Thanks you very much again for the pleasant stay in your lovely house in het middle of Dublin. Your breakfasts are the best and also during breakfast it is nice to hear experiences in Dublin form the other quests and all the additional information form you two.
Although we were in Dublin for a short period of time we feel did not miss a thing.
Best regards, Edward& Ellen
We stayed 2 nights at Deirdre and Hans's. They gave us great advice and tips to discover Dublin the best way. Breakfast was great (Thank you Deirdre !). The room was big and the bed very confortable (very important after an entire day of walk in the city). The location of the room is perfect to reach the city centre by foot, everything is close to it. We warmly recommend this place to stay ! Thanks again to Hans and Deirdre for their kindness and hospitality.
My 18 year old daughter and I had the most wonderful time staying with Hans and Deidre in their very comfortable and clean house, situated within easy walking distance of the city centre. We were made to feel so welcome, and so enjoyed the 'banter', and of course the delicious breakfasts. They gave us great recommendations on what to visit in Dublin, and where to eat - all were perfect. This was our first experience of Airbnb - what an introduction! I wouldn't hesitate in recommending a stay with this lovely couple.
La ubicación era estupenda. Caminando diez minutos estás en el centro de la ciudad y cerca de todo lo que "hay que visitar". Una bonita casa en un barrio tranquilo. La habitación para tres resulta amplia y acogedora. Pero lo mejor de la casa sin duda eran los dos anfitriones. Muy amables desde el inicio, ofrecen información sobre los lugares donde ir. Destacamos un maravilloso desayuno con una conversación amigable (en inglés).
The apartment is very easy to find and centrally located. The place is wonderfully furnished and cosy. Hans and Deirdre are the most wonderful hosts, we enjoyed their company a lot. You feel visiting old friends. Our visit to Dublin was enriched by havinf met these welcoming couple.

A case of an obese patient who can't receive the necessary medications raises questions about the use of transcutaneous pacing to sustain a patient until medications have time to work, and the ethics of using this method on someone with a potential DNR status.

Good Points
Small, light, looks good too
Bad Points
Small and hard to press keys. Text is too small. Contrast is still somewhat dim. Ringtones downloading is very hard to find and volume is not loud enough.
General Comments
Handphone looks good and usage is quite user-friendly except downloading of ringtone is nearly quite the impossible feat. The small keypad is ok but it is a bit hard to press and the SMS text is too fine, too small!!

Help with old lamp shade
Hello! I was hoping to find some help with an old lamp shade from a floor lamp that was my mom's. I don't even know what to call it! LOL! Here's a pic of the shade...
...and the lamp...
I have looked for a shade like this but cannot find one, either in stores or online. I guess if I knew specifically what kind of shade this is called I might have better luck. I plan on painting the lamp itself black and really didn't want to use a dingy, yellowing shade.
Thanks for any input you all might have!
Kristy :)
hello kristy,
i had a second hand reading light and a couple of second hand lampshades which i re-did. dunno if they'll help you get some ideas on how you can do up your lampshade :)... perhaps you needn't have to buy a new one :)
you can take a look at them in one of my post in my blog at blogspot. the link is below :)
hope it helps:) luthien
Here is a link that might be useful: pimp & paint
I think it might be called a "downbridge" lamp but I'm not sure. I have never seen one with a shade quite like that. I would take both the lamp and the shade to a lighting store, because if you find another shade you'll want to be sure it fits the lamp.
Check out this web page: http://www.lampshadeshop.com/lampshades13b.htm
It looks as if it might be a halo shade of some kind. I think seagrass is correct--that is a downbridge lamp
Try searching in your area for a store that rewires and repairs old lamps. They tend to know a lot about lamps and can probably help you find a shade that will work with your lamp, or maybe even recover the frame of the existing shade. I've bought a lot of old lamps without shades from Ebay and at thrift stores and the folks at the local lamp repair store are just great at finding replacement shades for 60 year old lamps.

Sweet Autumn. You are not going to believe this !
pump_toad(z4 iowa)July 22, 2011
Can you believe this ? My 3 year old Sweet Autumn that I thought was gone has now popped out of the ground and is about 12 inches tall.I had thought of planting something else in that spot but never got around to it.
Guess my tip for today is, don't give up too quickly on Sweet Autumn.

What's happening to my basil leaves?
A few weeks ago, I bought a couple basil pots at Trader Joe's. I've kept them in the pot, set them near the window where they get a lot of direct sunlight, and have been watering them every evening. Recently, I've been getting some sick spots (see http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/1b-b60iH20CS135dKmBpJQ?feat=directlink) on my leaves and am unsure if it's bugs or something else. Does anyone know what this could be? If so, what can I do to fix it?
Here is a link that might be useful: Pic of basil leaves
Could be the beginning if spider mites, but more likely depression from being kept indoors when all the other basils get to go outside. Basil does not like it inside, and leaves that form in bright light will suffer when deprived of their power source. Even in a sunny window, the plants are getting maybe 1/3 of the light they would get on "the other side". It really, really wants to go outside.
Looks like thrips to me.
If you can't load that, go to google and type in 'thrips basil' and do an image search.

NBA prospect arrested for allegedly beating girlfriend

You may not know who Jereme Richmond is, but now you will for the wrong reasons.
He is one of those guys who just missed having his named called in the NBA Draft. The 6'7" swingman out of Illinois tried to go pro after his freshman year, but that season was inconsistent and scouts were worried about his fundamentals. Basically, he's athletic but a real project. The kind of guy who would have gotten put on a summer league team and been given another look, maybe even earned a training camp invite somewhere.
Now, he's got much bigger problems — he has been arrested on charges of beating a woman and threatening her with a gun. From The Daily Herald.
Richmond, 19, and Matthew Riley, 22, of North Chicago, were arrested Monday afternoon outside the victim's house after police found a loaded .40-caliber semiautomatic pistol in the car the men had driven….
On Sunday, (Lake County Assistant State's Attorney Stephen) Scheller said, the woman drove to Richmond's residence in the 2000 block of Arthur Drive in Waukegan to retrieve her cellphone. The two began to argue outside Richmond's house, Scheller said, and Richmond shoved the woman back into her car during the ruckus. Monday afternoon, Scheller said, Richmond and Meyer drove to the woman's house and Richmond began to argue with her again as her mother looked on. At one point, Scheller said, Richmond spit on the woman and said he was going to shoot her.
If he did this, he should be punished. If he does avoid jail time, NBA teams are still going to question his maturity and decision making skills (things they already questioned). Teams are not going to put the effort into developing a guy if they don't think he can keep his head about him.

his uncle was going around telling anyone that would listen how he's such a good kid and that the league shouldn't have passed on him yada yada. Jereme, let me tell you, what your friends have neglected to do. your rookie season sucked, you couldn't stand out on a bad Illinois team? if you're as good as they make you think, you should be a household name. you average 6 ppg on a bad team? if that was my daughter you spit on, i would get on my MMA Strikeforce shit and bang you like a rental car son..

Bethesda says it'll be 'a while' before we hear about Fallout 4
We've had a couple of teases of Fallout 4 lately, one where the trademark was filed and we thought it was close to being announced, and another teasing that 'nuclear winter is coming soon'. Both of those, seem to be weird, detailed dreams to the news we're about to break to you.
Bethesda's game director, Todd Howard, has come out and publicly said: "We don't [have a timeframe for our next game announcement], but I think it's gonna be a while". We've gotten fairly used to all the questions and curiosity over the years. Everyone wants information. Right now, we're just trying to figure out which of our ideas are going to stick and finding an appropriate time to talk about it.
It's not all bad news, as it seems that the PC is important to the developer, where Howard was enthusiastic about the best platform in the world. He said: "PC is resurgent. Skyrim did better than we've ever done on PC by a large, large number. And that's where the mods are. That feeds the game for a long time. And it's exciting that the new consoles are very PC-like. That opens up avenues for us going forward to do things that we've wanted to do in the past. There are kind of random ideas we're working on right now, and it's like, 'Wow, I think there's potential here to do some really cool stuff".
Access to Doom beta to be given as a Wolfenstein pre-order perk
The original Doom series developed by John Carmack and ID Software had a cult following and is still held as one of the best FPS games ever made by its fan base. When word first came that Bethesda and ID Software were working on DOOM 4, the internet roared with cheers, but hopes and dreams were soon thereafter crushed when Bethesda announced that development had ceased on the game.
It appears that things have taken a turn for the better and today Bethesda announced that entry into Doom 4's beta program will be happening soon. There is a catch however, and it involves pre-ordering Bethesda's upcoming Wolfenstein remake which opens up on May 20th of this year. Bethesda says that beta keys will be placed inside boxed copies of the game, and that an open beta is still a possibility, but at the moment, the only sure way to get into Doom 4 Beta is to purchase Wolfenstein.
Battlefield 4 shortcut kits now available free for premium players
One of the biggest problems in Battlefield 4 is the pace at which different players rank up their weapons and unlock new ones. Each person unlocks weapons at different rates due to their skill level, time spent in each class, and even their campaign and challenge participation. EA and DICE have just released a new feature for Battlefield 4 that they hope will level the playing field for some players who are new or are falling behind.
Known as Shortcut Kits, these new packs allow players to purchase (free for premium players for a limited time) kits that fill out their Handgun, DMR, Grenade, and Shotgun kits by simply buying the pack from the in-game store. During February and the beginning of March, 4 shortcut packs will be available, with more to come in the coming months.

First Forza Motorsport 5 track add-on is Road America
One of the things that makes the Forza franchise so popular is that the development for each version continues well after the game is introduced. That means that you get new cars and in the case of Forza Motorsport 5, you get new tracks as well.
The first track add-on for Forza Motorsport 5 has been announced. The track is one of the premier facilities in the US and is called Road America. The track is fully integrated into the Forza 5 experience. Players will get to drive the track at events in Career mode.
The player can also drive the virtual track in Career bonus events after the mini-Career series is complete. Players will also be able to play against each other on the track with availably in the Rivals Mode and multiplayer lobbies.

Free to Play, a documentary by Valve, is set to debut on March 19th
In just under a month from now, Valve will debut its first documentary titled Free to Play to the world. Free to play is a film about the lives of three professional computer gamers who come from very different walks of life from across the world including Asia, North America, and Europe. They may speak different languages in real life, but in Dota 2, the game that unifies them, they all speak the same language.
The documentary focuses on the three players as they prepare to play for the first ever $1 million prize in professional video gaming competition. Valve says that it will hold a public screening of the documentary followed by a Q&A session on March 18th at the Castro Theater in San Francisco, California. While seating is limited, users can register for the even via the event bright link below. Additional information about Free to Play can also be found at the source link below.
Latest Xbox One update bug results in black screen for some users
Earlier this month we reported that the update for the Xbox One that had been expected in February wouldn't land until March. Microsoft came back and changed that a bit when it made the update available last week. Many Xbox One owners installed the update straight away to get their hands on the new features it brought with it.
The update added in notable new features like a battery level indicator for the controller and the ability to access the device storage and delete things. The Xbox One update bought several other things that gamers will appreciate, but hit some with an issue no one wants.
The update has also resulted in a bug that is affecting some users. The bug manifests by presenting a black screen to the user when they power the console on. Microsoft has acknowledged the issue and has offered a quick fix for the problem.

Konami video compares all versions of MGS 5: Ground Zeroes
A couple days ago, we mentioned that the coming video game from Konami called Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes was going to have a higher native resolution on the PS4 than the Xbox One. Konami tipped that on the PS4 the game would have a native resolution of 1080p at 60 fps. Xbox One gamers will have to get by with 720p at 60 fps.
Konami had also announced that the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game would get by with 720p via upscaling and 30fps frame rates. If you wondered at the time what differences would be noticeable between the four versions, Konami has a new video you will like.
The new video has all four of the console versions put up side by side. It's clear from the video that the next generation consoles have much better lighting effects. Konami also notes that the PS4 and Xbox One also have larger texture maps giving extra detail. Objects on the screen in the PS4 and Xbox One version certainly look more realistic and three-dimensional.

Valve says its anti-cheat system does not spy on user's system
A Reddit post in Counter-Strike: Global offensive thread caught many people's attention about Valve's Anti-cheat system. The post came with a screenshot and an explanation which claimed that VAC was collecting browser information and sending it back to Valve's servers. But Gabe Newell of Valve Software immediately made a post in Reddit to dismiss any such claims and set the record straight.
Gabe Newell explained that they do not talk about anti cheating or its counter hacking systems in the open because it creates more opportunities for cheaters to attack the system. But because of the heated discussion in Reddit, he had to make an exception.

GDC poll: Just 4% of developers are planning Wii U games
A recent Game Developers Conference poll has something interesting to say about the state of Nintendo's Wii U console, with the poll revealing that just 4% of developers plan to release their next game on the Wii U.
Comparing this against the competition, the PS4 has 20% of developers behind it, while the Xbox One has 17%. The one saving grace here is that the poll was for US-based game developers, where 2,600 of them were surveyed. Most of the development of games is being aimed toward PC, smartphones and tablets - where there are many, many more customers.
Thief reboot is 1080p on PS4, 900p on Xbox One
The Thief reboot arrives on February 25, but it looks like the PlayStation 4 will be the console of choice for the stealth title. The PS4 will run it at 1080p, while its competitor, the Xbox One, will only run Thief at 900p.
Square Enix recently sat down with Eurogamer, where it explained that the difference between the two versions isn't that big of a deal. Thief director, Nicolas Cantin, said: "You really need good eyes to see the difference". Cantin added that the Xbox One version of Thief "is as good as the PS4 version".
Cantin did explain that the big difference here is between the new consoles, and the previous generation units, he explains: "We put more detail in, more special effects. But at the same time, we kept the same gameplay experience with the current-gen and the next-gen versions".

A three dimensional puzzle or toy, of the type sold under the registered trademark RUBIK'S CUBE, in which eight outer bodies or blocks are rotated four at a time about any one of three axes, so that different shapes may be presented in different combinations of said outer bodies. The outer bodies present a desired shape, such as an egg, sphere, clown's head or other desired shape only when the outer bodies are in proper combination. The outer bodies revolve about a spherical core, and are releasably maintained assembled about said core by magnetic means on the adjoining surfaces of the outer bodies.
1. A three dimensional combination puzzle comprising
a spherical core,
eight outer bodies each having a spherical inner surface movable over said core, three adjoining surfaces and an outer surface,
said adjoining surfaces mutually perpendicular to each other and defining planes of rotation intersecting at the center of said speherical core,
means associated with said adjoining surfaces releasably maintaining said outer bodies assembled about said core, and enabling said outer bodies to be rotated in sets of four about said core,
said outer surfaces forming a cube when said outer bodies are in proper combination and a plurality of said adjoining surfaces are not parallel to the faces of said cube.
The present invention relates generally to three dimensional puzzles and toys and particularly to those in which eight outer bodies or blocks are rotated four at a time about any one of three axes, so that different shapes may be presented in different combinations.
Such puzzles or toys are sometimes known as rotary combination toys as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,344,623, in which a central portion is provided with guide canopies through which movable outer blocks slide from position to position.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,655,201 eight cubes are magnetically engaged and are adapted to rotate in complementary sets of four about one of three mutually perpendicular axes.
Such prior art rotary combination toys and puzzles allow patterns or colors on three faces of each block or cube to be successively combined until a desired combination of numbers or colors are presented, e.g., in the type sold under the registered trademark "Rubik's Cube," in which each of the six faces of the overall cube are of one of six selected colors.
However, the prior art does not teach a puzzle which varies in overall shape, yielding a desired shape only in the proper combination. Further, the prior art structures either have complex interior mechanisms and parts and are difficult to assemble, reassemble, and rotate, such as the planetary mechanisms, with guide canopies and tracks of U.S. Pat. No. 4,344,623 cited above, or are so loosely structured and connected that they are difficult to rotate and tend to fall apart when rotated, such as the bar magnet building blocks of U.S. Pat. No. 3,655,201 cited above.
The present invention is designed to overcome the limitations in the prior art described above.
A primary object is to teach a three dimensional rotary combination shape puzzle, in which the rotating outer bodies form varying shapes, producing a desired shape only when the outer bodies are in proper combination, such as an egg, a sphere, a clown's head, horse, automobile, apple, or any other desired shape.
Another object is to provide a shape puzzle in which the desired shape is formed by outer bodies rotating about a spherical core.
Another object is to provide a shape puzzle which challenges and tests abilities other than color perception, such as tactile and shape perception.
Another object is to provide a rotatable three dimensional puzzle which is easy to manufacture, assemble, operate and reassemble.
Another object is to provide a three dimensional rotary puzzle in which the parts can be moved easily and accurately about a spherical core without disassembly.
Other objects and features of the invention will become apparent upon reading the description of its preferred embodiments below.
In general, the present invention teaches a three dimensional shape puzzle in which a plurality of outer bodies, magnetically or mechanically engaged to each other, are rotatable about three mutually perpendicular axes in sets of four and said outer bodies present a desired shape when in the proper combination, and irregular or random shapes when in other combinations.
In a principal embodiment, eight outer bodies are magnetically engaged to each other and rotatable about a spherical core present a desired overall shape, such as an egg, a car, a horse, a clown's head, or an apple, which desired shape is achieved when the outer bodies are in proper combination.
In a second embodiment, the desired shape is symmetrical, such as a cube, but the axes of rotation selected are not the axes of symmetry, so that the desired shape is achieved only when the outer bodies are in proper combination.
In a third embodiment, the eight outer bodies form a desired shape which is symmetrical, such as a sphere or cube, but the inner spherical core is eccentrically located in the overall desired shape, so that the desired shape is achieved only when the outer bodies are in proper combination.
The preferred embodiments are illustrated in the following perspective view drawings:
FIG. 1 is a view of a first preferred embodiment of the invention, in which the outer bodies form an ovoid or egg.
FIG. 2 is a view of the egg of FIG. 1 separated into two sets of outer bodies, showing the spherical core.
FIG. 3 is a view of the egg in FIG. 1 in which the outer bodies are not assembled in proper combination but are in random combination.
FIG. 4 is a view of a second embodiment in which the outer bodies properly combined form a symmetrical shape, a cube.
FIG. 5 is a view of the cube in FIG. 4 separated into two sets of outer bodies, showing the spherical core.
FIG. 6 is a view of one of the outer bodies of the cube in FIG. 4.
FIG. 7 is a view of the cube in FIG. 4 in which the outer bodies are not combined properly, resulting in an irregular outer shape.
FIG. 8 is a view of a third embodiment in which the outer bodies form a sphere with the eccentrically located spherical core shown in dotted lines.
FIG. 9 is a view of the sphere of FIG. 8, in which four of the outer bodies have been removed and the core is shown.
FIG. 10 is a view of the sphere of FIG. 8, in which the outer bodies are not combined properly but are in random combination.
Referring now to the drawings, FIGS. 1-3 illustrate the first preferred embodiment, in which the invention is used to present an ovoid shape or egg in proper combination.
FIG. 1 shows the eight outer bodies 31 assembled in proper combination. FIG. 2 shows egg 29 divided into two sets of four outer bodies 31, and a spherical core 30. The core 30 is not affixed to any of the outer bodies 31, but may rotate freely with respect to them all. Each of the outer bodies has an inner surface 32, three flat adjoining surfaces 33 and an outer surface 34.
As seen in FIG. 2, the outer bodies 31 each have identical inner surfaces 32 which are spherically concave, and which conform to and are movable over the spherical core 30. Each outer body has three flat mutually perpendicular adjoining surfaces 33 defining planes of rotation which intersect at the center of spherical core 30. Each of the three adjoining surfaces 33 is provided with two pill magnets 35 with alternating north poles N and south poles S exposed. The pill magnets 35 are embedded in the adjoining surfaces 33 and flush thereto. The pill magnets 35 are spaced from each other and from the spherical core 30 to correspond with their counterparts of opposing polarities on each of the adjoining outer bodies 31. Outer bodies 31 rotate along the adjoining surfaces 33 which are mutually perpendicuar, and the axes of rotation pass through the center of spherical core 30.
In accordance with the invention, the outer surfaces 34 of the eight outer bodies 31 comprise the visible portions thereof, and form an egg 29 when in the proper combination of FIG. 1. Here the shape selected is an egg, and is symmetrical across two of the three planes defined by the adjoining surfaces 33, hence there are two sets of four identical outer bodies 31 and several combinations thereof will yield the desired egg shape shown in FIG. 1. The outer surfaces 34 of the eight outer bodies 31 thus fall in two sets of identical shapes, shown in FIG. 3 as 34a and 34b, forming the egg 29 in proper combination (FIG. 1).
In operation, the first embodiment is assembled by applying the inner surfaces 32 of the eight outer bodies 31 to the core 30 either in the desired shape to be restored (FIG. 1) or in random combination (FIG. 3).
The magnets 35 on the adjoining surfaces 33 of each of the outer bodies 31 are in registration with their counterparts on the adjoining surfaces 33 of the three adjoining outer bodies 31 and hold the assembly in cohesion.
Once the outer bodies 31 are in place on core 30, any set of four of the outer bodies 31 may be rotated 90� at a time with respect to the other four outer bodies, about any one of the three axes of rotation, as is known in the prior art.
Rotation may be effected by gripping a set of four of the outer bodies 31 in each hand and twisting each set of four along the adjoining surfaces 33 about one of the three axes of rotation. Pill magnets 35 release upon twisting and reengage with their new counterparts after 90� of rotation. Spherical core 30 greatly facilitates rotation by keeping the adjoining surfaces 33 and magnets 35 aligned during the 90� rotation, until the magnets 35 reengage with their new counterparts.
By selecting the sets of four outer bodies 31 to be rotated with respect to the spherical core 30, and with respect to each other, the player may change the relationship between outer surfaces 34 varying the overall shape of the assembly until the proper combination results in the desired egg shape of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 shows the outer bodies 31, rotated in improper combination exposing portions of the adjoining sufaces 33. However, in the proper combination of FIG. 1, only the outer surfaces 34 and not the adjoining surfaces 33 are visible.
In accordance with invention, the outer bodies may form any other desired shape, symmetrical or asymmetrical, such as a clown's head, horse, apple, automobile, in proper combination. Also, the invention may be used as a toy, with a view to merely assembling the outer bodies about the core in the desired shape, without rotation, rather than as a shape puzzle.
In a second embodiment of the invention, shown in FIGS. 4-8, even a symmetrical object such as a cube 39 may be formed by the outer surfaces 44a-h of the outer bodies 41 about a spherical core 40 (FIG. 4). The outer bodies 41 form a cube 39, when in proper combination, as in FIG. 4, and an irregular shape otherwise, as in FIG. 7.
The outer bodies 41, one of which is shown in FIG. 6, are identical though irregular and have spherically concave inner surfaces 42 which conform and bear upon spherical core 40, and pill magnets 45 imbedded on the adjoining surfaces 43 in pairs with alternating polarities spaced from each other and from the spherical core 40 so as to register with their counterparts of opposing polarities on adjoining outer bodies 41.
The adjoining surfaces 43 again lie in three planes mutually perpendicular to each other and intersecting at the center of the spherical core 40, as shown in FIG. 5.
However, two of the planes defined by the adjoining surfaces 43 of the outer bodies 41 are not parallel to the planes of the cube 39 formed by the outer surfaces 44a-h, resulting in irregular overall shapes and exposure of parts of the adjoining surfaces 43 (FIG. 11) when not in the proper combination shown in FIG. 6. Locating the spherical core 40 at the center of the cube results in identical outer bodies 41 as shown in FIG. 7 and in one of the planes of rotation being parallel to the faces of cube 39.
In operation, outer bodies 41 are rotated in groups of four in 90� intervals about the three axes until the proper combination shown in FIG. 4 is achieved.
Irregular shapes may also be achieved by eccentrically locating the spherical core in the desired cube, sphere or other symmetrical body resulting in eight unidentical outer bodies.
This is illustrated in FIGS. 8-10, in which the outer surfaces 54a-h of eight unidentical outer bodies 51a -h form a sphere 49 in proper combination (FIG. 8), and an irregular shape (FIG. 10) otherwise. The free spherical core 50 is eccentrically located as shown in FIGS. 8-9, to produce eight unidentical outer bodies 51a-h and the planes defined by the adjoining edges 53 pass through the center of the core 50. Pill magnets 55 are disposed as in the first and second embodiments described above.
In operation, once assembled, groups of four outer bodies 51 are rotated in 90� intervals about the spherical core 50, as in the other embodiments, with a view to forming the desired overall shape of a sphere 49. However, the eccentric placement of core 50 results in irregular overall shapes as shown in FIG. 10, except in the proper combination of FIG. 8. Concentric placement of core 50 results in a sphere in all combinations, and such an embodiment could be used as a color puzzle to match colors or indicia on identical adjoining outer bodies 51, when proper combinations are effected.
Although sets of eight outer bodies have been described, additional sets and axes of rotation may be introduced increasing the number of combinations and complexity of shapes. For example, the desired shape may be an octahedron of thirty-two identical pieces rotatable about six axes.
Also in any of these embodiments, engagement of the outer bodies may be effected by the less efficient mechanical means known in the prior art rather than the magnets and spherical core taught herein to produce the varying shapes of the shape puzzle taught here. For example, a a puzzle of the type sold under the registered trademark Rubik's Cube could be shaved to form a desired shape to be restored upon rotating the outer bodies into random combination.
Also the present invention has been shown in its preferred and most practical embodiments, but it is recognized that departures may be made therefrom within the scope of the invention, which is not limited to the details disclosed herein, but is to be accorded the full scope of the claims, embracing equivalent devices and apparatus.
