Corsair Expands PC Case Line with a Trio of Carbide Series SPEC Gaming Case
Subject: Cases and Cooling | March 19, 2014 - 05:31 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: SPEC gaming case, corsair
Fremont, California —March 18, 2014 — Corsair, a designer and supplier of high-performance components to the PC hardware market, today announced the Carbide SeriesTM SPEC range of gaming PC cases in three models: the SPEC-01, SPEC-02, and SPEC-03. Characterized by aggressive styling, modern features, superior air cooling, and expandability, the SPEC range offers everything gamers need from a case and nothing they don't.
All three SPEC cases have been designed with PC gamers in mind, stripping out the unnecessary and leaving a lean and mean looking chassis that delivers great cooling and makes PC building quick and easy. The cases boast modern features such as USB 3.0 ports, native SSD mounts, and extensive cable-routing options, as well as a huge side panel window to show off the hardware inside. The black-painted interior is optimized to direct unobstructed airflow to the PC's hottest components, with a front-mounted LED fan providing ample cooling. Tool-free drive bays and removable dust filters add to SPEC's wide array of high-end features.
There's plenty of room to expand inside too, with support for even the longest graphics cards, front fan mounts for dual 140mm and 120mm fans, and seven expansion slots. Whatever version of SPEC gamers choose, they will have a case with the flexibility to handle years of upgrades.
"Entry level cases are usually antiquated, old designs. Some still have room for floppy drives," said George Makris, Product Manager at Corsair. "With the addition of the Carbide Series SPEC to our line, gamers can now get a case with modern features and great styling combined with superior cooling and expandability at a fantastic price."
Carbide Series SPEC Specifications
Pricing, Availability, and Warranty
The SPEC-01 case has a suggested retail price of $49.99 USD and the SPEC-02 and SPEC-03 cases have suggested retail prices of $59.99 USD. The cases will be available in April from Corsair's worldwide network of authorized distributors and resellers. All are backed with a limited 2-year warranty and Corsair customer service and technical support.
Introduction and Technical Specifications

Corsair expanded from a known presence in the memory space to well-respected entity in the component market, offering everything from cases to all-in-one water coolers. Their newest cooler, the Hydro Series™ H75 Liquid CPU Cooler, features a 120mm x 25mm radiator with dual fans and a copper-based water block. The H75 unit includes mounting support for all current Intel and AMD processor offerings. To gage the performance of the cooler, we set it against several other high-performance liquid and air-based coolers. With a retail MSRP of $84.99, the Hydro Series™ H75 cooler is priced to be competitive.
Courtesy of Corsair
The Hydro Series™ H75 cooler was designed to be a "one size fits all" type cooler, having no space issues fitting in most cases including some of the larger mITX style cases. Corsair used Asetek as an OEM to assist in manufacturing the H75 and appears to be based on the Asetek 550LC all-in-one cooler. As we've seen previously with Corsair OEM products, Corsair had a hand in tweaking the cooler design to meet their performance and aesthetic expectations. The radiator in an all aluminum, thin-finned unit designed to effectively dissipate heat from the liquid medium using the two include Corsair-branded fans.
Courtesy of Corsair
The water block is composed of a two part acrylic top piece, housing the unit's electronics and pump, held to a copper cold plate secured with an inner and outer ring of screws. The inner ring of screws are counter-sunk to prevent mating-related obstruction and was polished to a mirror-like luster.

Phanteks makes watercooling easier with the Enthoo Primo
Subject: Cases and Cooling | March 17, 2014 - 04:43 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: phanteks, Enthoo Primo Ultimate Chassis, full tower
With watercooling becoming more and more common some manufactures are trying to make it easier by designing cases which are set up to accommodate radiators. Phanteks' Enthoo Primo Ultimate is a pefect example as it ships with a bracket to help you install a radiator with up to two 140mm fans. Pet owners will love the filtres set up on all intake ports on this case including ones on the bottom which are very easily accessible. [H]ard|OCP were very impressed with this case; even more so when you consider this is Phanteks' first foray into this part of the cooling market.
"Phanteks is known for its wide variety of fans, but is broadening its brush stroke by now building its own computer cases. The Enthoo Primo Ultimate Chassis is a full tower computer case that promises the "Ultimate Water Cooling Solution," as well as removable filters, and a thermally isolated PSU location."

GDC 14: Valve's Steam Controller Is Similar to Dev Days
Subject: General Tech, Cases and Cooling, Shows and Expos | March 15, 2014 - 01:44 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: GDC, gdc 14, valve, Steam Controller
Two months ago, Valve presented a new prototype of their Steam Controller with a significantly changed button layout. While the overall shape and two thumbpads remained constant, the touchscreen disappeared and the face buttons more closely resembled something from an Xbox or PlayStation. Another prototype image has been released, ahead of GDC, without many changes.
Valve is still in the iteration process for its controller, however. Ten controllers will be available at GDC, each handmade. This version has been tested internally for some undisclosed amount of time, but this will be the first time that others will give their feedback since the design that was shown at CES. The big unknown is: to what level are they going to respond to feedback? Are we at the stage where it is about button sizing? Or, will it change radically - like to a two-slice toaster case with buttons inside the slots.
GDC is taking place March 17th through the 21st. The expo floor opens on the 19th.
When the Radeon R9 290 and R9 290X first launched last year, they were plagued by issues of overheating and variable clock speeds. We looked at the situation several times over the course of a couple months and AMD tried to address the problem with newer drivers. These drivers did help stabilize clock speeds (and thus performance) of the reference built R9 290 and R9 290X cards but caused noise levels to increase as well.
The real solution was the release of custom cooled versions of the R9 290 and R9 290X from AMD partners like ASUS, MSI and others. The ASUS R9 290X DirectCU II model for example, ran cooler, quieter and more consistently than any of the numerous reference models we had our hands on.
But what about all those buyers that are still purchasing, or have already purchased, reference style R9 290 and 290X cards? Replacing the cooler on the card is the best choice and thanks to our friends at NZXT we have a unique solution that combines standard self contained water coolers meant for CPUs with a custom built GPU bracket.
Our quick test will utilize one of the reference R9 290 cards AMD sent along at launch and two specific NZXT products. The Kraken X40 is a standard CPU self contained water cooler that sells for $100 on Amazon.com. For our purposes though we are going to team it up with the Kraken G10, a $30 GPU-specific bracket that allows you to use the X40 (and other water coolers) on the Radeon R9 290.
Inside the box of the G10 you'll find an 80mm fan, a back plate, the bracket to attach the cooler to the GPU and all necessary installation hardware. The G10 will support a wide range of GPUs, though they are targeted towards the reference designs of each:
NVIDIA : GTX 780 Ti, 780, 770, 760, Titan, 680, 670, 660Ti, 660, 580, 570, 560Ti, 560, 560SE
That is pretty impressive but NZXT will caution you that custom designed boards may interfere.
The installation process begins by removing the original cooler which in this case just means a lot of small screws. Be careful when removing the screws on the actual heatsink retention bracket and alternate between screws to take it off evenly.

Corsair and Cherry Answer Mechanical Keyboard Questions
Subject: General Tech, Cases and Cooling | March 11, 2014 - 02:16 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: corsair, cherry, Cherry MX, mechanical keyboard
A lot of diverse topics arose from the Corsair blogs, lately. This time, they compiled fan questions and enlisted mechanical switch and keyboard manufacturer, Cherry Corporation, to provide answers. Coming in at over two-thousand words, it is quite lengthy.
Many of the questions seemed to come from long-term fans of their mechanical keyboards. One person asked whether a specific ergonomic keyboard (G80-5000) would make a return, while another inquired about Cherry-branded Hall Effect switches (presumably for analog controls). In all, if you are interested in mechanical keyboards, it is worth a read. They kept a little secret sauce, secret, but otherwise seemed pretty open in their responses.
Introduction and Technical Specifications
Courtesy of SilverStone
SilverStone Technology is a well known brand in the computer component space, offering high quality solutions for everything from cases to case-mounted fan controllers and displays. Their CPU air-coolers are some of the best in the industry with the latest incarnation being part of the Argon Series. The Argon Series AR01 CPU cooler is made for optimal cooling of your Intel socket 115X or AMD-based systems, comprised of a single aluminum radiator tied to a copper base-plate via a set of copper heat pipes with a 120mm fan for heat dissipation. To prove out the performance of the AR01 unit, we tested put it up against other high-performance liquid and air-based coolers. At a retail MSRP of $34.99, the AR01 cooler has a great performance to price ratio for its cooling potential.

Razer Designs New Mechanical Switches
Subject: General Tech, Cases and Cooling | March 6, 2014 - 10:22 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: razer, Cherry MX, cherry, mechanical keyboard
So Razer has a history of doing the unexpected. The peripheral manufacturer has branched out into other segments, including laptops, tablets, software, exercise equipment, and so forth. Their April Fools announcements are often hilarious but their real products sometimes feel as far-fetched, except that they release and apparently find an audience. If Project Christine comes out then it would be the best example, but Project Fiona and the Razer Blade seemed just as unlikely - and I've seen multiple Blades in the wild.
And yet it is their keyboard announcement which surprises me, today.
It turns out that Razer decided to design their own key switch modules, instead of ordering them off-the-shelf from ZF Electronics (Cherry). Razer will not manufacture these key modules, and they look enough like Cherry MX switches that I could guess who their third party manufacturer is, but they did push their own specifications. Razer claims that the main advantage is a higher actuation point, leading to less latency between when your finger starts moving, and when it has moved enough to activate the button.
Razer has developed two switches: "Green", which is their analogy of the Cherry MX Blue, and "Orange", which is analogous to the Cherry MX Brown. The former is clicky while the latter has a relatively silent bump.
The Green switches are available in the BlackWidow, BlackWidow Tournament, and BlackWidow (with the Orange switches in each Stealth variant). Some models will ship in late March with the rest shipping in April.
Corsair Blogs About... Oh Come On!
Subject: General Tech, Cases and Cooling | March 1, 2014 - 09:51 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: corsair, mining
When mining some form of cryptographic coin, very few components in the system are utilized. A GPU is basically a self-contained massively parallel cruncher with its own memory and logic. The host system just needs to batch the tasks which leads to PCs with dirt-cheap CPUs, a very modest amount of RAM, and quite literally a half-dozen high-end graphics cards.
If you thought that gaming machines skew a little too much towards GPUs, you should see a mining rig with five R9 290X cards fed by a Sempron.
As you can guess, since many GPUs are double-slot, it might be difficult to fit seven of them in a seven-slot motherboard with a limited number PCIe lanes. To get around this limitation, miners attach their graphics cards to extension cables. Thankfully (for them), mining does not pass a lot of data across the bus to the host system. Even a single PCIe fails to be a bottleneck, apparently.
Anyway, the Corsair blog created an open-air rack which hangs six graphics cards (five HD 7970s and a R9 290X) above a motherboard housing an Intel Celeron G1830. For air, a quartet of Corsair fans suck air upwards and around the graphics cards. For power, of course they use the Corsair AX1500i because why not mine with an arc welding torch. It apparently had more power capacity than the breaker they originally hooked it up to. Whoops.
While ridiculous, I do hope to see systems with multiple (even mismatched) graphics processors as we move toward batches of general mathematics. PhysX was not entirely successful in teaching users that GPUs do not need to be in SLi or Crossfire configurations to load balance. It is just finding an appropriate way to split tasks without requiring a lot of bottlenecks in setting it up.
I might not mine coins, but I could see some benefit to having 35 TeraFLOPs across seven compute devices. I could also see Corsair wanting to sell me a power supply for said PC.

Fun but wish it was longer!
This game has nice graphics, an engaging story, and challenging (though not impossible) puzzles. Honestly, the difficulty could be ramped up a notch or two and I think I'd be a little more satisfied with this game.
One thing to note: the chemistry puzzle and the hidden object puzzles worked really well. It was cool that completing these sections actually built objects to use in the world. It made sense in the game's story why you had to stop and search. You weren't just randomly looking for stuff like in other games in this genre. Nicely done, developers!
great game but most of the fun is AFTER the little taste of the freebee.
great game but most of the fun is AFTER the little taste of the freebee beginning (though it does show a taste of whats to come). and buying the iPhone version is cheaper than the iPad version ($4.99 vs $6.99 &i didnt notice much difference when i 2x the screen for ipad ) you do have to,watch for hidden items in the corners though. the rock niche (not saying where and spoil location) was hidden so I missed an item until i got hint. most mini games are pretty straight forward and workable. if you need them solved it does it for you, if you request and say yes.
love the mood ... it isn't dark like most games of the type.
hope there is a sequel !!!
QA engineer / tester / enhancement suggester / avid game player specially of logical puzzles like this one.
Like a drug pusher you hook us into this great game saying it's free, then just as we start to get into the story for real you pull the bait and switch charging us to get more or go further. It's disappointing to say the least! There are many great games out there that don't try to pull one over on the gamer. This is obviously not one of them. Thanks for being the sleazy used car salesman of the app gaming world. The least you could do is call yourselves the lite version of a game or just charge us outright so we know up front that you are only in it for the money. Thanks for selling me a lemon guys.

Malaysian Nasi Lemak Supperclub Brixton Cornercopia 20th&21st Nov 2014
Chilli Crab Shack Pop Up Supperclub Brixton
MALAYSIA's NATIONAL DISH GETS TAKEN UP A NOTCH-GOURMET NASI LEMAK
Narrowing Malaysian food down to one signature dish is bloody hard- as
any Malaysian worth his or her salt will tell you. But we've been
thinking about this for some time now and we do honestly believe that
Malaysians do indeed have a national dish- and that national dish is
nasi lemak. Each different race and state in Malaysia has its own
version. In Malaysia you'll find people having nasi lemak for
breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper, at road side stalls, coffee
shops,restaurants and hawker centers.
In English nasi lemak translates literally to 'fatty rice'. Probably
quite apt as having nasi lemak everyday will most certainly pile on
the pounds!:) The common base to all nasi lemaks is the fluffy rice
cooked in coconut milk and pandan leaves. On the side there must
always be some fried anchovies, peanuts and cucumber. What you add to
the basic ingredients after this is what gives each nasi lemak its
individual kick. Some like their sambal hot and spicy, some like it
slightly sweeter, some like it with prawns and petai, some like it
with anchovies or dried shrimp, others prefer it with anchovies on the
side. There are just so many variations.
Then you need to decide how you like your egg.Hard boiled or fried? We
like ours sunny side up. There's something very satisfying about
watching the yellow-orange yolk pop and run over the hot,fragrant rice
and sambal. Then you have to decide what should accompany the nasi
lemak and sambal. Some swear by fried chicken. If I'm doing it I like
to do a nyonya fried chicken version(fragrant with belachan and curry
leaves). Others think a dry or wet beef rendang is essential to
hitting the spot, although on occasion I've served it with a
sensational dry nyonya chicken curry (which uses dried shrimp and lime
juice instead of coconut milk, featured below).
Best served on a banana leaf and washed down with some of Wild's
delicious ais kacang!
Keropok – prawn crackers
Nasi lemak – Fragrant coconut rice with egg,anchovy and peanut garnish
King prawn sambal – Prawns fried in a rich sweet spicy gravy
Beef Rendang – Fragrant and spicy slow cooked dry meat curry
Nyonya fried chicken -some say ours taste so good it should be called
'ganja fried chicken!' :)
Kangkung belachan – Greens fried with spicy fermented shrimp paste
Ais kacang
Nyonya kuih – Sticky and sweet cakes in the Straits Chinese tradition
Teh tarik – Old school tea-chinos!

Updated with suspect's name at 1:14 p.m. Thursday
A person of interest detained this morning near Sedalia in the murder of a six-year-old boy near Fulton is now charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action.
According to online court records, Scottie Willet, 27, no given address, is being held on a $1 million cash-only bond on the class A felony murder charge and the unclassified felony weapons charge. A press conference is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. at the Callaway County Sheriff's Office.
Willett was located and detained at 6:38 a.m. on Thursday in a trailer park located in the 3500 block of South Grand Avenue and was arrested on a Pettis County warrant for littering.
Sedalia Police Officer Kyle Hayward assisted with the arrest. Willet was located through a cell phone "ping" according to authorities.
"This morning we got a call from Callaway County that they had a person of interest in the Sedalia area. He was actually out in the county. The county asked for our assistance to come out and help them locate that individual. We got into the area where the phone was pinged and located the suspect vehicle," Hayward said.
Hayward said officers knocked on the door and the Willet was on the phone. He came outside and was detained.
"He was kind of verbally negative to us, but no physical altercation took place," Hayward said.
A handgun was found inside the vehicle Willet was driving - both of which may be stolen, authorites said.
The Missouri Highway Patrol was called by the Callaway County Sheriff's Office at 3:15 a.m. Thursday asking for the use of aircraft in the search, highway patrol spokesman Sgt. Paul Reinsch confirmed with the Fulton Sun.
He said the highway patrol's role in the incident was just providing a helicopter to search for a suspect. Reinsch referred all other questions to the Callaway County Sheriff's Office as it is the investigating agency in this case.
An overnight search was conducted in the Little Dixie Conservation area near Millersburg in Callaway County.
At 9:45 a.m. a Callaway County Sheriff's car was blocking Primrose Road, where it intersects with County Road 318, just southwest of Fulton. A sheriff's deputy told the Fulton Sun there's an active death investigation at a crime scene on that road and a person of interest is in custody. He also told the Sun at 9:45 a.m. that someone from medical examiner's office is on scene.

RALEIGH — Robeson County commissioners will have to rethink their plans on how to pay for the construction of a new jail and perhaps a technology high school.
"I really can't tell you what we will do now," County Manager Ricky Harris said this morning. "I don't see any other monies available. As far as I can tell, it's dead at this time."
State Sen. Michael Walters on Wednesday did not file a bill in the Republican-controlled Senate that if approved would give Robeson County residents the chance to vote on a proposed 1-cent increase in the sales tax to fund construction of a new jail and "school construction." Wednesday was the General Assembly's deadline for any local bills to be filed for consideration during the General Assembly's short session.
"I didn't file the bill because I didn't get the support from the (Senate) leadership," said Walters, a Democrat from Proctorville. "They just don't favor taxes."
The county commissioners in early January passed a resolution asking the General Assembly for permission to hold a referendum to allow local residents to decide if they want a 1-cent sales tax increase to pay for construction of a county jail and technology high school. The county's current sales tax is 7 percent.
Both the state Senate and House are controlled by the GOP, whose members are traditionally more likely than Democrats to oppose any form of tax increase. Many have signed a pledge saying they will oppose any tax increase.
"I said the whole time that this would be difficult," Walters said. "I'm not surprised at the outcome."
Walters said that it is still possible that the county's bill could be attached and considered with another local bill during the General Assembly's short session.
"Something may come up, but at this time I don't see it happening in the Senate," Walters said. "I think it will be considered in the long session (that begins in January) after the November elections. This is more of a long session issue."
Walters will not be in the Senate when the General Assembly convenes early next year. He announced in January that he would not be seeking re-election for his District 13 seat when his term ends at the end of this year.
Rep. Garland Pierce, a Democrat from Scotland County whose House district includes Robeson, said Wednesday that he is looking for a local House bill that both Robeson County's bill and a similar bill from the town of Fairmont requesting a referendum on a 1-cent sales tax increase can be attached.
"We know it is a long shot, but we are not giving up," Pierce said.
According to Pierce, if the county bill is not heard during the short session, it will be filed in the House during the General Assembly's long session.
"We will have the bill ready to submit in January," he said.
At least one commissioner isn't concerned that the bill never made it to the Senate floor.
"I'm not really disappointed," said Commissioner David Edge, the lone Republican on the county's eight-member board. "After looking into it for myself, I don't think we need a new jail and I don't think we need a new school at this time.
"Yes, we need more space (at the jail), but we are looking at more pre-trial release to address that issue, " he said.
Robeson County officials estimate that the 1-cent tax hike would generate about $5.5 million a year for the county. The total cost of a new jail and technology high school has been projected to be about $84 million.
Both Kellie Blue, the county's finance director, and Harris have said on numerous occasions that other than the sales tax the only way to fund construction of the jail and school is for the county to increase property taxes. The county's current property tax rate of 77 cents for each $100 of property value is among the highest property tax rates in North Carolina.
The county commissioners have said they will not even consider raising property taxes.

Author Notes: This is the canonical recipe for Memphis-centric barbecue, which is the best in the world. Every cook has his/her own dry rub; this is mine. It's best cooked on a pit over hardwood coals for 18 hours (for a whole shoulder; 12 for Boston butts), started at 180 degrees and gradually working up to 250. I adapted it for the oven several years ago when it was below freezing and I wanted barbecue and did NOT want to fire up the pit. It lacks the smoky flavor, but it still puts most barbecue to shame. - Kayb
Food52 Review: This recipe yields some of the best barbecued pork we've ever tasted. After a few low and slow hours in the oven, the roast comes out super moist, sweet-spicy, peppery and crispy. The rub is balanced and really penetrates the meat, leaving a nice, pink ring around the outside edge. The sauce has just the right amount of tomato-y tartness for balance. We found this to be an embarrassingly easy way to get barbecue flavor without having to go outside, or do much work at all. - Emily - The Editors
Serves 8
- 3 tablespoons each of kosher salt, black pepper, cumin, chili powder, and coriander
- 1 1/2 tablespoons each of ground ginger, dry mustard, and celery seed
- 1 tablespoon allspice
- 2 teaspoons each ground thyme and dried oregano, crumbled
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 cup cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup neutral vegetable oil
- 5-6 pounds Boston butt roast or half pork shoulder
- 4 tablespoons ketchup or tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- hot sauce to taste
- Mix the spices, herbs and sugar in a small bowl until thoroughly blended. Set aside 6 tablespoons of the mixture, and use as much as needed to heavily coat the pork roast. You may have rub left over; it keeps well in an airtight container and does wonders for any kind of pork or chicken. Wrap the roast tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- The next day, remove roast from refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature. Place in a rack in roasting pan in 200 degree oven for an hour.
- In a small saucepan, blend reserved 6 tbsp. dry rub mix, vinegar, water, tomato paste or ketchup, and worcestershire sauce. Add hot sauce to taste (a dash or two is good).
- Once pork has cooked for an hour, baste with sauce every 30 minutes for 1 1/2 hours. After a total of 2 1/2 hours, increase heat to 250, and continue to baste every 30 minutes for another 1 1/2 hours. Raise heat to 300 and continue to baste every 30 minutes for another hour to hour and a half, or until the bone in the pork wiggles freely.
- When bone wiggles freely and meat is pull-apart tender, remove from oven and tent with foil; allow to sit for at least 20 minutes. Serve by pulling chunks of meat from bone. Should, to be authentic, be served with vinegar cole slaw and baked beans; bread is optional, but roasted corn on the cob is nice. And gallons of iced tea and lots of cold beer.
- If you want a sauce to serve on the side, take remaining basting sauce (or make more), add another 4 tbsp tomato paste, and simmer until it reaches the desired thickness.

I made this 7 days ago and my house still smells like cumin! Wayyyy too much in this spice rub! I bought a huge package (15lbs) of pork shoulder from Costco. I did the rub as instructed, but only have one large roasting pan. I put half the pork in the roasting pan on rack, and the other half in 7 qt. dutch oven. I basted as instructed, except after 2 applications of the basting sauce, the meat in the Dutch oven was very moist and did not need anymore. I followed the rest of the instructions for the meat in the rack. We preferred the meat in the Dutch oven, as it was fall-apart tender and moist. The meat on the rack gained a thick crust and was quite dry. We did not like the taste or textrue of the crust. I'm not sure if it wold have been better if I had cooked longer, or shorter, but I think it was in for 6-8 hours, at specified temps and with the basting as instructed. I am not the "meat cooker" in our home, so I was pleased with the dutch oven method and would do again. I will use another rub with fewer ingredients and no cumin. I made double the quantities of the rub mixture and had lots left over, even though I used 3x the meat. A single recipe of the rub is sufficient for a large quantity of meat. I did need the double recipe for the basting sauce, and 90% of that was used on the roasting-rack meat. I would have needed more if both meats were in roasting pans.

Hey there, Kayb! I'm blending my rub now and dreaming of BBQ tomorrow. Quick question, where does the 1/2c. oil belong? I'm assuming it's part of the basting sauce, but I'd love confirmation. And please forgive me if it's right up there in black and white and it keeps falling in my blind spot.

Sorry! yes, it's in the basting sauce. It'll keep separating on you, so just stir with the brush before you baste with it.

A lot of tasty possibilities with this recipe; very similar to the one we do that uses a bit of beer too. I was just now thinking that perhaps when done in the oven a little bit of liquid smoke could be added with the wet ingredients, thinking that it might pick up a little of the smoke (?). If I ever do it in th oven I will have to try it. OH....late congrats on the EP!!

Makes me want to run to the 24 hour market and cook pork all night! I want to make it a one bowl meal by shredding it into the cole slaw, roasted corn to the slaw, and stir the beans in. I'll still take the beer on the side though. Great recipe and method!

A heart stimulating device has the capability of detecting fusion and/or pseudofusion heartbeats by measuring electrical impedance encountered by a delivered stimulation pulse. The device has a pulse generator connected to a lead system for emitting and delivering stimulation pulses, and an impedance measuring arrangement for measuring the impedance. A logic circuit determines that a response by the cardiac tissue to a delivered stimulation pulse includes a fusion or pseudofusion heartbeat if the measured electrical impedance is within a predetermined impedance range, and determines that the response does not include a fusion and/or pseudofusion heartbeat if the measured electrical impedance is outside of the predetermined impedance range.
1. Heart stimulating device comprising a pulse generator adapted to deliver a stimulation pulse to a heart, an impedance measuring arrangement which measures an electrical impedance encountered by said delivered stimulation pulses, and a logic circuit connected to said impedance measuring arrangement which identifies a response to one of said stimulation pulses as including a fusion or pseudofusion heartbeat if the measured electrical impedance is within a predetermined impedance range, and which identifies the response to the delivered stimulation pulse as not including a fusion or pseudofusion heartbeat if the measured electrical impedance is not within said predetermined impedance range.
2. The heart stimulating device of claim 1, wherein the impedance measuring arrangement determines the impedance by measuring a stimulation pulse voltage of a stimulation pulse delivered by the pulse generator.
3. The heart stimulating device of claim 2, wherein the impedance measuring arrangement measures the voltage at least twice during a stimulation pulse.
4. The heart stimulating device of claim 1, wherein the impedance measuring arrangement determines the impedance by measuring a stimulation of pulse current of a stimulation pulse delivered by the pulse generator.
5. The heart stimulating device of claim 4, wherein the impedance measuring arrangement measures the current at least twice during a stimulation pulse.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a heart stimulating device having the capability to detect the occurrence of fusion and pseudofusion heart beats, i.e. delivery of electrical stimulation pulses simultaneously or with a small separation in time from spontaneous heart beats.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Fusion beats generally refers to a situation where atrial or ventricular depolarization starts from two different positions in the heart. Such a situation arises when a natural heart beat occurs simultaneously with an electrical stimulation pulse from a heart stimulating device and they both contribute to the depolarisation of a heart chamber.
Pseudofusion beats generally refers to a situation where atrial or ventricular depolarization starts spontaneously in the heart and a stimulation pulse is delivered subsequently and does not contribute to the depolarization.
In demand pacemakers or other heart stimulating devices that aim to electrically stimulate a patient's heart only in the absence of normal intrinsic activity, fusion beats or pseudofusion beats present a particular problem, since intrinsic events are to be favoured and stimulation energy is to be saved until really needed. In that way the longevity of a battery powered heart stimulation device is improved.
Some terminology used conventional is explained below. Impedance: The total resistance to the flow of electrical current through a conductor, including resistance produced by tissue and electronic components including resistors, capacitors and coils. In pacing, impedance and resistance are sometimes used interchangeably, but strictly speaking, impedance involves a time-dependent relationship between voltage and current, whereas resistance is a fixed number. Resistance and impedance is usually stated in ohms.
IEGM: An abbreviation for intracardiac electrogram. IEGM signals are emitted by active cardiac tissue and sensed through electrodes placed on or within the heart.
QRS or QRS complex: The ventricular depolarization as seen on the electro cardiogram or in the IEGM signals.
Intrinsic: Inherent or belonging to the heart itself. An intrinsic beat is a naturally occurring heart beat.
R wave: an intrinsic ventricular event. R refers to the entire intrinsic QRS complex.
Evoked response: The electrical activation of the myocardium by a pacemaker output pulse. The ability of cardiac tissue to respond depends on its activity state.
Ventricular fusion beat: the pacemaker impulse appears close to a spontaneous QRS complex and partly contributes to the ventricular depolarization.
Ventricular pseudofusion beat: the pacemaker impulse appears within a spontaneous QRS complex and does not contribute to the ventricular depolarization.
Atrial fusion beat: the pacemaker impulse appears close to a spontaneous P wave and partly contributes to the atrial depolarization.
Atrial pseudofusion beat: the pacemaker impulse appears within a spontaneous P wave and does not contribute to the atrial depolarization.
A fusion or pseudofusion beat, either in a ventricle or an atrium, may be referred to as simply a fusion beat in contexts where problems related thereto are similar to those of regular fusion beats.
In conventional pacemakers, pulses may be delivered although intrinsic heart activity is present at a rate close to that of the pacemaker. Moreover, backup pulses may by delivered by the pacemaker for safety reasons when an evoked response is rendered undetectable by a fusion or pseudofusion beat. In these and other cases, the detection of evoked response is disturbed by intrinsic heart activity. Further, in order to detect lead breakage or other anomalies, such a pacemaker may be provided with means to determining a measure of the impedance of the lead arrangement by measuring voltage at leading and trailing edges of a delivered stimulation pulse.
Conventional pacemakers still need improvement to effectively overcome the problem of consuming the battery energy prematurely due to failure to favor present intrinsic activity in the heart. Detection of fusion and pseudofusion beats present a general problem in the art.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a heart stimulation device which has the capability of detecting fusion and/or pseudofusion heartbeats. Consistent with this object, it is a further object of the present invention to provide a device for reliably detecting fusion and/or pseudofusion heartbeats by means of impedance measurements. It is a further object to employ the detection of fusion and/or pseudofusion heartbeats to enable a reduction of the energy used for stimulating a heart.
The inventor has conducted extensive experimental studies which have revealed that an impedance encountered by an electrical stimulation pulse delivered to the heart systematically takes lower values if the heart is intrinsically stimulated at the same time or within a small separation in time, i.e., in case of fusion/pseudofusion heart beats.
Consistent with these experimental studies the above objects are achieved in accordance with the principles of the present invention in a heart stimulator having a pulse generator and a lead arrangement which emit and deliver stimulation pulses to cardiac tissue, and an impedance measuring arrangement which measures an electrical impedance as "seen" by the delivered stimulation pulses, and having a logic circuit which identifies whether a response by the cardiac tissue to a delivered stimulation pulse includes a fusion and/or a pseudofusion heartbeat, by determining such a fusion or pseudofusion heartbeat to be present if the measured electrical impedance is within a predetermined impedance range, and determining that a fusion or pseudofusion heartbeat is not present if the measured electrical impedance is outside of the aforementioned predetermined impedance range.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a heart stimulating device according the invention including, a pulse output stage having the ability to measure impedance and a logic circuit having the ability to detect fusion and pseudofusion beats based on the measured impedance.
FIGS. 2a, 2 b, 2 c and 2 d respectively show examples of ICG signals that indicate the occurrence of a spontaneous beat, a paced beat, a fusion beat, and a pseudofusion beat.
FIG. 3 shows schematically one embodiment of a pulse output stage in the device of FIG. 1 including voltage measuring circuitry.
FIG. 4 shows schematically another embodiment of a pulse output stage in the device of FIG. 1 including voltage measuring circuitry.
FIG. 5 shows as a solid line a shape that a stimulation pulse would have for a given impedance and, by dashed lines, alternate shapes corresponding to different impedances.
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a heart stimulating device according the invention. The described type of device is operable to inhibit stimulation to favour intrinsic events. The device has sensing input 1, 2 that feed IEGM signals to a sense amplifier 3. The sensing inputs 1, 2 are to be connected to a cable (not shown) and a cardiac electrode (not shown) which provide the IEGM signals to the heart stimulating device. The sense amplifier provides amplified IEGM signals to two detection units 4, 5. A filtered first R wave detection units 4 is operable to detect intrinsic QRS complexes. An evoked response (ER) detection units 5 is operable to detect stimulation-evoked QRS complexes. Each of the detection units 4, 5 is connected to a logic circuit 6 to which it indicates a detected QRS complex.
The logic circuit 6 controls a pace pulse generator 7 and a back-up pulse generator 8 which are operable to transmit stimulation pulses to a patient's heart. A charging unit 9 is connected to both pulse generators 7, 8 to provide them with the necessary stimulation energy. The pulse generators 7, 8 are to be connected via the same cable (not shown) to the same cardiac electrode (not shown) as the sense amplifier 3. However, it is preferred that the sense amplifier 3 has a bipolar mode of operation and the pace pulse generator 7 has a unipolar mode of operation. In the case of a unipolar heart stimulator, a conductive casing (not shown) of the heart stimulating device functions as one pole and a cardiac electrode as the other.
Further, the pace pulse generator 7 includes a measuring arrangement for measuring an impedance encountered by a stimulation pulse when delivered. In this embodiment, such the result of such a measurement is fed to the logic circuit 6 for determination whether or not the delivered stimulation pulse gave rise to a fusion beat or a pseudofusion heart beat. The operation of the measuring arrangement is controlled by the logic circuit 6, which also includes timing means in order to stimulate the patient's heart at an appropriate rate that can be based on detections made in the detection unit 4, 5.
Additionally or alternatively, the inventive heart stimulation device could include means for detecting P waves and atrial evoked response in a manner similar to what is indicated above for ventricular operation.
With reference to FIG. 2 an explanation will be given to different events taking place in a heart as seen on an ECG plot. Curve 20 shows an spontaneous or intrinsic beat without any pacemaker pulse being delivered. A QRS complex is seen as a peak at 21 and repolarization occurs at 22. Curve 23 shows a beat evoked entirely by a stimulation pulse delivered by the heart stimulating device without any intrinsic heart activity leading to ventricular contraction. A pulse is delivered at 24 (width and hight not drawn to scale) which results in a QRS complex at 25 followed by repolarization at 26.
In the case of curve 27, a pulse 28 is delivered at the start of a spontaneous ventricular depolarization, i.e., somewhat earlier. A QRS complex 29 displays increased width and a change in the appearance of the T wave 30. This suggests that part of the ventricle was depolarized by the stimulation pulse 28, but that the heart also was depolarized by spontaneous conduction. The result is a fusion beat.
Despite the appearance of the stimulation pulse 32 in curve 31, the following QRS complex 33 and the repolarization 34 has a configuration typical of spontaneous depolarization. The stimulation pulse 32 obviously occurs too late to affect the ongoing depolarization. This results in a pseudofusion beat.
It has been surprisingly found that the impedance encountered by a delivered stimulation pulse differs considerably in the situation of curve 23, wherein the heart activity is controlled only by the stimulation, and the situations of curves 27 and 31, showing fusion and pseudofusion beats, respectively. Impedance decreases of at least 30 ohms, and seemingly about 200 ohms, have been measured in the fusion and pseudofusion heart beats compared to the purely stimulated beats.
FIG. 3 shows known circuitry for measuring impedance in cardiac leads (cable and electrode). The measuring circuitry is incorporated in the pulse generator 7 and includes a capacitor 40 connected to terminal 10 through a switch 41 and to terminal 11. A voltage measuring unit for measuring the voltage across terminals 10 and 11 is indicated by 42.
FIG. 4 shows alternative known circuitry for measuring impedance in cardiac leads. The circuitry includes a capacitor 43 connected to terminal 10 through a switch 44 and a low ohm resistor 45 and to terminal 11. A voltage measuring unit for measuring the voltage resistor 45 is indicated by 46.
Naturally, combinations of the circuitry of FIGS. 3 and 4 could be used for the impedance measuring means in the invention.
References will now be made to FIG. 5. Curve 60 shows details of a reference stimulation pulse as it could be sensed as IEGM signals in a heart stimulating device according to the invention. A delivery of a stimulation pulse begins at 61. The signal level changes momentarily to 62 from which point a discharge of the stimulation energy proceeds to point 63 along a curve segment 64 that can be approximated by an RC discharge curve. The length 65 of the pulse is in the order of 0.5 ms. After the pulse, the signal resumes its voltage level at 66.
Once an implanted cardiac electrode assumes a stable position in the heart, its impedance will be rather constant under normal stimulating conditions undisturbed by intrinsic activity. A typical value is 500 ohms. In FIG. 5, pulse delivery under such a normal impedance circumstances is represented by dashed curve 67 oriented below curve segments between points 62 and 66. Dashed curve 68 represents a lower impedance of about 300 ohms which indicates the occurrence of a fusion or pseudofusion beat. In dashed curve 70, no discharge of the pulse energy occurs during the pulse. Thus, there is an indication of lead break or similar. The signal magnitude 69 of the stimulation pulse in FIG. 5 is about 5 V.
The circuitry of FIGS. 4 and/or 5 is sued to determine whether the impedance encountered by the stimulation pulse belongs to a range below or above a reference value (corresponding to curve 64, FIG. 5). If the impedance is found to be below the reference, an indication of a fusion/pseudofusion beat is presented in the logic means of the device. If the impedance is found to be equal to or above the reference, an indication of the absence of a fusion/pseudofusion beat is presented in the logic means of the device.
The presently preferred arrangement for measuring the impedance that a stimulating pulse encounters when delivered to the heart includes a resistor connected in series in the electrical circuit for effecting the pulse. Such a resistor has a low resistance not to dissipate energy unnecessarily but enough to provide a signal for measurement. The impedance is calculated from the relationship between resistor current and pulse voltage in a well-known manner. It is further preferred that the measurement be made during a short interval only immediately following point 62 in FIG. 5. However, the current (voltage across known resistor) and/or voltage could be measured in one or several points along the pulse curve to obtain an impedance measure. One specific alternative is to measure the voltage in the points 62 and 63 of FIG. 5 so as to obtain an impedance measure.
It should be noted that the figures may not be drawn to scale but are rather intended to illustrate functions and qualities of the invention and electrical signals relating to its operation. Further, it is to be understood that this embodiment description includes merely illustrative examples of the application of the invention. For instance, the invention is applicable in atrial as well as ventricular fusion and pseudofusion beat detection. Many variations and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

Researchers Find Possible Treatment For Spinal Muscular Atrophy
Spinal Muscular Atrophy is the second-leading cause of infant mortality in the world.
Ravindra Singh, associate professor in biomedical sciences at Iowa State University's College of Veterinary Medicine, would like to see Spinal Muscular Atrophy lose its high ranking and even slide off the list altogether.
Most Spinal Muscular Atrophy sufferers — more than 95 percent — have a mutated or deleted gene called Survival Motor Neuron 1 (SMN1) that doesn't correctly do its job of creating functional SMN proteins.
Singh's solution is to replace that poor-performing gene with another gene.
Humans need a certain level of SMN protein to ward off Spinal Muscular Atrophy.
When SMN1 fails to create functioning proteins, Spinal Muscular Atrophy is the result.
There is a gene already in humans that looks very much like SMN1, so much so that it's called SMN2. The SMN2 gene doesn't seem to serve any function that researchers can identify.
Singh has discovered a way of using SMN2 to produce the working SMN protein. When SMN2 makes enough SMN, it compensates for the mutated or malfunctioning SMN1 gene.
All proteins in human bodies are made by copying genes. This copy is called pre-mRNA.
Pre-mRNA then becomes mRNA by splicing out certain parts of the sequence that are non-coding, meaning they don't help the function of the gene.
These non-coding portions of the pre-mRNA are called intronic sequences, sometimes referred to as junk sequence because it is originally copied from junk DNA.
SMN2 normally doesn't produce normal protein because of the presence of a specific intronic sequence in the gene or DNA.
To make SMN2 behave as SMN1, Singh has introduced a small antisense oligonucleotide that blocks this specific intronic sequence.
When the intronic sequence is blocked, SMN2 produces normal proteins and acts, in effect, like SMN1.
"The significance of our work is that we have this stuff called junk DNA in SMN2," said Singh. "We found that we could get SNM2 to behave as SMN1 by introducing a small oligonucleotide. It is a very simple experiment if you think about it."
The resulting proteins are normal just like a regular cell – free from Spinal Muscular Atrophy.
"Our cells are healthy and survive," he said. "From that point of view, this is a major achievement."
Singh, along with his team Natalia Singh and Maria Shishimorova, both of Iowa State University's biomedical services department; Lu Cheng Cao, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester; and Laxman Gangwani, Medical College of Georgia, Augusta, have their research highlighted as the cover story on this month's issue of the journal RNA Biology. Their research is the most downloaded story on the RNA Biology page of the Web site Landes Bioscience.
Spinal Muscular Atrophy affects 1 in 6,000 to 1 in 10,000 children born every year. One in 40 people are carriers of the disease — they don't have the symptoms, but could pass the disease to their children.
Most children born with the most severe type of SMA die within two years.
Using this junk sequence in SMN2 to restore the high levels of functional SMN protein could eliminate Spinal Muscular Atrophy caused by deletion or mutation in SMN1.
Singh believes this technology could also work treating other diseases.
"We know that Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, cystic fibrosis, multiple sclerosis and cancer all come from genes that are aberrantly spliced," he said.
"If this is a model disease, meaning we succeed in treating Spinal Muscular Atrophy, we will know how to correct splicing of other genes in other diseases," he said.
Image Caption: A short and smart oligonucleotide: A short antisense oligonucleotide (3UP8) targeting a specific intronic sequence corrects aberrant splicing of Survival Motor Neuron 2 (SMN2) and restores high levels of functional SMN protein in patient cells of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Prominent green dots (see in "SMN section") represent well-organized SMN bodies (gems) in the nucleus of the 3UP8-treated cells (bottom two panels). Gem contains another protein ZPR1 (see red dots in "ZPR1 section") that co-localizes with SMN protein in the nucleus of the cell (see white dots in "Merge section").
The control oligonucleotide (F8) that targets an unrelated sequence had no effect on SMN or ZPR1 levels in patient cells (top two panels). Cell were transfected with the same amount of antisense oligonucleotide (compare the color intensity in "Oligo section"). Credit ISU

Villagers of Pakala plan to unveil the statue of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar commemorating Poorna's achievement
A festive atmosphere prevails in Sirikonda mandal what with people waiting for the arrival of the youngest girl mountaineer Malavath Poorna, who scaled the highest peak, Mount Everest, to give her a rousing reception.
Youth, especially students, of her native village Pakala have been planning to celebrate her feat by honouring her and her parents Malavath Devidas and Lakshmi, the farm labourers. They have also been thinking of unveiling the statue of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar on the occasion.
Pakala, a village abutting the forest belt in Sirikonda mandal, came to limelight with the 13-year-old's achievement. Poorna, a class IX student in Social Welfare Residential School for Girls at Tadwai mandal headquarters, hails from a family that struggles to survive her. But her determination to make a mark for herself ever since she joined the school propelled her to scale the Mount Everest, said Sidhiramulu, Principal (in-charge).
Identifying her flair for adventure, the AP Residential School Society secretary R.S. Praveenkumar encouraged her and got her trained to climb the Everest under B. Shekhar Babu, a renowned mountaineer and Tenzing Norgay awardee. She was noticed by Mr. Praveenkumar as she was active in sports. She was among the 20 students selected for the adventure and after screening.

LB Anthony Spencer (tendered at $8.856 million; signed April 23).
--CB Alan Ball will likely not be brought back and certainly won't be a priority. The Cowboys will be focusing on cornerbacks in the draft and free agency.
--LB Keith Brooking wants to return for another season. Will only be brought back to mentor to the young linebackers and for leadership.
--OG Derrick Dockery was solid when he played last season. But he would only be brought back for depth purposes if at all. The Cowboys will be looking for a long-term upgrade in the draft and free agency.
--SS Abram Elam wants to return and the Cowboys are considering bringing him back. Yet they are trying to upgrade the position and Elam is more of a stop-gap answer than a long-term solution.
--OG Montrae Holland was solid when he played last year but the Cowboys are looking for upgrades through the draft and free agency. Could be pursued for a return if they don't go big in free agency or high in the draft with a guard.
--P Mat McBriar is coming off knee surgery and will not be ready until possibly minicamp. The Cowboys already have a potential replacement in Chris Jones. They will take a wait and see approach in regards to bringing McBriar back to compete in camp. He is not a top priority.
--RB Sammy Morris was only a stop-gap addition at the end of last season. Will not be pursued for a return.
--CB Frank Walker was a solid role player for the Cowboys last year. But they are looking for upgrades in the secondary. He will not be brought back.
UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS (not tendered offers)
--QB Chris Greisen (not tendered as RFA) was a late season injury addition for practice purposes.
--WR Jesse Holley (not tendered as ERFA) has been solid on special teams and made plays in the regular offense when called upon. Will have to prove himself all over again in camp. But that is only way this reality star knows how to make team.
--RB Chauncey Washington (not tendered as ERFA) was signed for depth purposes last year but came in overweight. Won't be brought to camp next season

Matteo still mum about Jessy issue
Earlier this month, Matteo Guidicelli and rumored girlfriend Jessy Mendiola were spotted holding hands at the SM Mall of Asia while watching the Manila Speed Show, which featured Filipino-Swiss racer Marlon Stockinger and the Lotus F1 Team.
So, when show biz writers got the chance to talk to Matteo recently, they wasted no time in bugging the Kapamilya actor about the real score between him and Jessy. But Matteo, a former kart racer himself, was more interested in talking about the sport than his love life.
We watched and listened in amusement as Matteo successfully deflected every Jessy-related query, giggled and redirected the conversation to either racing or his work at the press con for his kiddie show "Promil Pre-School I-Shine Talent Camp 2," which he will cohost with Dimples Romana and Xian Lim.
Take this one for instance. When asked about the online photos of the rumored couple holding hands, the actor said: "Oo naman… Marlon is my good friend. He made the Lotus F1 team. It's a big thing! It was our dream back when we were younger. But I changed course; I went to show biz."
But what about the sighting with Jessy? "I took her there… She had to see F1 and everything… She didn't know that the race car engine could be so loud."
Love life
Not about to go home without a juicy sound bite, a determined reporter prodded, "How's your love life?" "Puno naman—puno sa trabaho," Matteo replied, laughing. "I guess I'm just focused on my work."
We didn't walk away from the press con completely empty-handed though. Toward the interview's end, we did get an earth-shattering, never-before-heard quote. "We're good friends," Matteo said, when asked how he maintains communication with Jessy despite doing different TV projects at the moment. (They were paired in the recently concluded drama series "Paraiso.")
"We're never going to lose the relationship we built when we did "Paraiso," Matteo added. "Basta we promised each other to keep in touch."
And they sure do based on the online photos.
Meanwhile, Matteo said he would be hosting the coming reality show "The Biggest Loser: Doubles" with Iza Calzado and Robbie Domingo. He also related that he's currently shooting an indie film that tackles organ trafficking. "It's advocacy to stop the practice," he said.
"I-Shine," which airs every Saturday starting June 8, aims to discover the most talented pre-school kids around the country, and hone their talents in singing, dancing and acting.

US, Britain warn Syria against chemical weapon threat
Published on Aug 23, 2012 10:11 AM
LONDON (AFP) - British Prime Minister David Cameron and United States (US) President Barack Obama warned on Wednesday they would be forced to consider a new course of action if Syria threatens to use chemical weapons on rebel fighters.
The two leaders agreed during a telephone call that "the use - or threat - of chemical weapons was completely unacceptable and would force them to revisit their approach so far," Mr Cameron's Downing Street office said.
"Both said that they wanted to see a credible opposition and hoped that the opposition would use their upcoming meeting in Cairo to show real unity of purpose and coherence in working towards transition."
The White House said Mr Obama conveyed to Mr Cameron his concern about the "increasingly dire" humanitarian situation in Syria, and called for more countries to contribute to humanitarian appeals from the United Nations (UN).
