Aims: This study aims to evaluate the relationship between the amount of physical activity and different traditional and novel cardiometabolic risk factors, as well as atheroprotective agents, in male children and adolescents. Main methods: Cross-sectional study. A total of 337 male children and adolescents aged 7-14 years old from the rural city of Balcarce, Buenos Aires, Argentina were studied. Key findings: The main finding of the present study was that, in male children and adolescents, physical activity was inversely associated with lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) activity (r=-0.39, p<0.001) and with cholesteryl ester transfer protein activity (r=-0.23, p<0.05) apart from other proatherogenic agents after adjusting for age and BMI. Strikingly, among the parameters evaluated, overweight, hyperglycemia and Lp-PLA2 activity resulted to be independently related to physical activity as shown by stepwise regression analysis. Significance: The strong negative association between exercise and Lp-PLA2 activity and the fact that the latter resulted to be the unique continuous variable that persisted associated with physical activity would add an additional benefit of exercise in early prevention of vascular inflammation and atherogenesis.

Diabetic patients are at high risk of cardiovascular disease and the risk is amplified in the presence of nephropathy, which may be partially attributed to modifications in lipoproteins. Moreover, lipoprotein profile may be affected by incipient nephropathy, glomerulopathy, and mild or severe renal failure. The aim of our study was to evaluate whether chronic renal failure (CRF) changes lipoprotein profile and apo A-I urinary excretion in diabetic subjects with glomerulopathy in comparison with non-diabetic subjects with glomerulopathy and CRF. Diabetic (n=25) and non-diabetic (n=10) patients with glomerulopathy and CRF showed significantly higher LDL-cholesterol, non-HDL-cholesterol and HDL-triglyceride levels than diabetic individuals without CRF (n=10). Arylesterase and paraoxonase activities did not show any difference between groups. Apo A-I could not be detected in urine samples from diabetic patients without CRF. All diabetic subjects with glomerulopathy and CRF who presented proteinuria above 6.5 g/24 h showed detectable urinary apo A-I (range=13.1-61.0 mg/24 h). Similarly, all non-diabetic patients with glomerulopathy and CRF who had proteinuria above 8.0 g/24 h also evidenced detectable apo A-I in urine (range=25.6-557.3 mg/24 h). Urinary apo A-I showed positive and significant correlations with urea (r=0.73, p<0.05) and proteinuria (r=0.97, p<0.0001), and a negative correlation with albumin plasma levels (r=-0.68, p<0.05). In conclusion, the presence of CRF in diabetic patients was associated with a more atherogenic lipoprotein profile.

Physical activity is known to play a cardioprotective role. Nevertheless, a paradox seems to arise when considering that aerobic exercise enhances oxidative stress. In previous works, we showed that free radical formation during physical activity was counteracted by an increase in antioxidant defenses. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation is a crucial step in atherosclerosis, process that can be inhibited by high density lipoprotein (HDL) through its oxidable components or associated enzymes like paraoxonase (PON) and platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH). In this study, we evaluated copper-induced oxidation in isolated LDL and HDL fractions, and the effect of HDL on LDL oxidation in samples from well trained amateur athletes who were participating in an ultra-distance triathlon (n=18) in comparison with healthy sedentary controls (n=18). PON and PAF-AH activities and PON phenotype were also evaluated. The oxidability of isolated lipoproteins, as well as HDL antioxidant capacity, was similar in both groups of subjects. After classification by paraoxonase phenotype, only sportsmen belonging to the QR phenotype showed higher HDL susceptibility to in vitro oxidation (thiobarbituric reactive substances, TBARS) than controls (p<0.05). HDL oxidability exhibited a positive correlation with its triglyceride content (r=0.58; p<0.01). Similarly, HDL capacity to inhibit LDL oxidation was increased in athletes (p<0.05) which was positively associated with HDL oxidability (HDL-TBARS: r=0.55, p<0.005; HDL-lag time: r=0.45, p<0.01; HDL-D max: r=0.35, p<0.05). In conclusion, regular aerobic exercise was associated to a more efficient antioxidant function played by HDL from PON-QR carriers, which could constitute an adaptive response to the increased oxidative stress.

The high incidence of atherosclerosis in women after menopause is associated with a risk pattern including an increase in low density lipoprotein (LDL), even though high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels tend to be maintained or slightly decreased. Since estrogens are considered potent antioxidants, an increase in lipid peroxidation and formation of reactive oxygen species would be expected after menopause. If HDL becomes oxidized, the ability to protect LDL against oxidation may be impaired. In postmenopausal women there are scarce reports concerning HDL oxidability and no data about its antioxidant activity. We studied copper-induced oxidation and conjugated dienes formation in HDL isolated from 58 women, 30 postmenopausal (PMW) and 28 premenopausal (PreMW). None presented diabetes or cardiovascular disease and none was receiving hormonal, hypolipidemic or antioxidant therapy either. In order to evaluate the effect of HDL on LDL oxidation we isolated LDL and HDL from the same subject and assessed copper-induced LDL oxidation in the presence of HDL, followed by thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances determination. Relationships with HDL chemical composition, alpha-tocopherol content, cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) and paraoxonase activity (PON) were investigated. HDL chemical composition in PMW exhibited triglyceride enrichment when compared to PreMW (p <0.05). alpha-Tocopherol content and CETP activity were similar in both groups. However, CETP activity correlated positively with HDL triglyceride and negatively with HDL cholesterol percentage (r=0.44, p <0.01 and r=-0.32, p <0.05, respectively). Paraoxonase activity did not show differences between PMW and PreMW. When evaluating HDL oxidability, PMW revealed a shorter lag time in comparison to PreMW, even after adjustment for age, p <0.05. Moreover, when the effect of HDL on LDL oxidation was evaluated, HDL from PMW showed a reduction in its ability to inhibit LDL oxidation, compared to PreMW (p <0.05). In addition, the extent of inhibition of LDL oxidation by HDL was positively correlated with HDL resistance to oxidation (r=0.27, p <0.05). After women classification by paraoxonase phenotype, HDL ability to protect LDL against oxidation remained reduced only in PMW belonging to the PON QR phenotype, in comparison to PreMW QR. These results suggest that HDL from PMW exhibits impairment in its antioxidant ability, which is associated to a decreased HDL resistance to oxidation. In turn, this was related to triglyceride enrichment of HDL particles. All these alterations were independent from HDL cholesterol plasma levels.

It is widely accepted that aerobic physical activity is associated with a less atherogenic lipid and lipoprotein profile and, consequently, with a reduced cardiovascular risk. Both cross-sectional studies and prospective-interventional trials show that the most frequent modification observed consists of a slight but significant increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. Nevertheless, only few studies made an attempt to elucidate if this quantitative modification was accompanied by an improvement in any of HDL antiatherogenic functions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the main steps of reverse cholesterol transport, the best known antiatherogenic function performed by HDL, in a group of well-trained soccer players (n = 35) in comparison to sedentary controls (n = 15). Average HDL-C levels were 12.5% higher in the sportsmen, in large part because of greater HDL2-C concentration. No statistically significant differences were observed in the other lipid- and lipoprotein-related parameters. The capacity to promote cholesterol efflux from Fu5AH cells was significantly higher in the soccer players than in the control individuals (20.5% +/- 0.4% v 15.9% +/- 1.2%, respectively, P < .001). However, lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT; 2.6 +/- 0.9 v 1.4 +/- 0.3%/mL.h, respectively) and cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP; 69.5 +/- 8.3 v 62.7 +/- 14.8%/mL.h, respectively) activities did not reach statistically significant difference between both groups. Correlation analysis showed that cholesterol efflux induced by serum samples was directly related to HDL-C (r = 0.59, P < .001), HDL2-C (r = 0.37, P < .01), and lipoprotein (Lp)A-I (r = 0.44, P < .05). On the other hand, negative correlations were observed with waist/hip ratio (r = -0.36, P < .05), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C; r = -0.33, P < .05), apolipoprotein B (apo B; r = -0.42, P < .05), and LpA-I;A-II (r = -0.51, P < .005). In conclusion, the well-known cardioprotective benefit of regular exercise could be based, at least in part, on a less atherogenic lipid and lipoprotein profile and an enhanced cellular cholesterol efflux.

We have generated transgenic rabbits that express the entire human apoA-I/C-III/A-IV gene cluster. As in humans, h-apoA-I and h-apoC-III were expressed in liver and intestine, whereas h-apoA-IV mRNA was detected in intestine only. Transgenic rabbits had significantly higher plasma total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and total phospholipid concentrations than non-transgenic littermates. In contrast to similar transgenic mice previously generated, which have gross hypertriglyceridemia, triglyceride concentrations were only moderately raised in transgenic rabbits. Plasma and HDL from transgenic rabbits were more effective than those from controls in promoting cholesterol efflux from cultured hepatoma cells. They had lower LCAT, lower CETP and higher PLTP activities than non-transgenic littermates. Cholesterol-feeding produced major increases in plasma lipids. The qualitative response to the diet was not modified by cluster expression. Human apoA-I concentration was halved by cholesterol-feeding, whereas h-apoC-III and h-apoA-IV concentrations were not significantly altered. Cholesterol efflux from hepatoma cells to plasma and HDL was not altered by the diet. Since lipoprotein metabolism of rabbits closely resembles that of humans, human apoA-I/C-III/A-IV transgenic rabbits may provide a reliable model for studies of the transcriptional regulation of the cluster, and for evaluating the effects of different agents on the expression of the three genes.

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessively inherited disease characterized by elevated triglyceride, low total cholesterol and quantitative and qualitative alterations of high-density lipoprotein (HDL). The aim of the present study was to explore HDL metabolic activities in a patient with LPL deficiency and in his family (n = 11). Subjects were divided into four groups: proband (Ser447Stop/Arg170Leu carrier), Ser447Stop carriers, Arg170Leu carriers and silent mutation/wild-type carriers (controls). Cholesterol efflux from Fu5AH cells, lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT), cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), paraoxonase 1 (PON1) and platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) activities were evaluated. Comparison between the proband and the control group revealed that the boy had significantly reduced cholesterol efflux (P < 0.001), conserved LCAT activity (P > 0.05) and increased CETP activity (P < 0.001). As regards antioxidant enzymes, while PON1 activity was higher in the proband than in the controls (P < 0.0001), PAF-AH activity was reduced (P < 0.05). The other groups did not show relevant differences in comparison with controls. The presence of one mutation was not enough to introduce important modifications in HDL functions. Markedly reduced HDL levels can keep certain normal enzymatic activities, which probably tend to counteract the deleterious effects of LPL deficiency.

Previous studies have shown that high density lipoprotein (HDL)-deficient states are associated with reduced paraoxonase 1 (PON1) activity. However, HDL reduction caused by primary hypertriglyceridemia has not been fully explored. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether PON1 and platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH), two antioxidant enzymes, were altered in patients with low HDL-cholesterol levels with or without primary hypertriglyceridemia in comparison with control normolipemic subjects. We studied 24 patients with low HDL-cholesterol levels with (n=12) or without (n=12) primary hypertriglyceridemia in comparison with 12 control subjects who presented normal HDL-cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Paraoxon and phenylacetate were used as substrate for measuring PON1 activities and 1-hexadecyl-2-[3H]acetyl-glycero-3-phosphocholine for platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) activity. Double substrate method was used to assign phenotypes. Lipid, lipoprotein, apolipoprotein, and lipoprotein particles were determined by standardized methods. Both PON1 activities were significantly reduced in patients with low HDL-cholesterol levels. This reduction could be selectively attributed to the hypertriglyceridemic subgroup. PAF-AH activity was not different between hypoalphalipoproteinemic patients and controls. PON1 activities correlated positively and significantly with HDL-cholesterol, HDL2-cholesterol, HDL3-cholesterol, HDL-phospholipids, apo A-I, apo A-II, and LpA-I:A-II. PAF-AH correlated positively and significantly with total and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol. Data from this study would suggest that in hypoalphalipoproteinemic syndrome, particularly when associated with hypertriglyceridemia, there is impairment in enzymatic antioxidant activity exclusively related with HDL.

Even if physical activity constitutes a well-known antiatherogenic factor, the precise mechanisms underlying this protective effect are not completely clear. Lipid and antioxidant profiles were evaluated in 15 well-trained rugby players and 15 sedentary controls. Lipoprotein fractions were separated by sequential ultracentrifugation and alpha-tocopherol content was determined in each fraction by high-performance liquid chromatography. Susceptibility to in vitro oxidation was also measured in intermediate and low density lipoproteins isolated from both groups of subjects as the production of conjugated dienes. Although the sportsmen were not receiving any special diet or vitamin supplementation they showed a slightly improved lipoprotein profile, mainly represented by increased high density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels (P < 0.05), and an enhanced antioxidant status. The latter was evidenced by an increment in total radical antioxidant potential (P < 0.001), higher ascorbic acid (P < 0.005) and alpha-tocopherol (P < 0.05) plasma concentrations, and elevated activities of superoxide dismutase (P < 0.001) and arylesterase (P < 0.01). Moreover, only the fraction of intermediate and low density lipoproteins from rugby players presented higher alpha-tocopherol content in comparison with sedentary controls (484 +/- 67 vs. 377 +/- 123 microg dL(-1), respectively; P < 0.01). Nevertheless, the susceptibility to in vitro oxidation of this lipoprotein fraction was not different between both groups. Given that intermediate density and low density lipoproteins represent the most atherogenic fraction, this finding, in combination with the improved lipid and antioxidant status, would add to the link between regular physical activity and protection against cardiovascular disease.

Low density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation is a crucial step in the atherosclerotic process. High density lipoprotein (HDL)-associated enzymes such as paraoxonase could exert a protective effect on LDL oxidation in the arterial wall, an effect which could be impaired in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We studied copper-induced oxidation in LDL and HDL isolated from 17 T2DM patients with fair glycaemic control and HDL-cholesterol within normal range and 17 healthy normolipidaemic control subjects. To evaluate the effect of HDL on LDL oxidation in diabetic and control subjects, we assessed copper-induced oxidation in HDL/LDL mixtures, with each lipoprotein isolated from the same subject. Relationships with HDL chemical composition, alpha-tocopherol content and serum paraoxonase activity were investigated. Oxidation was promoted by lipoprotein incubation with copper and then thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), conjugated diene production and electrophoretic mobility in agarose gel were measured. In T2DM subjects HDL oxidation was higher than in controls. However, HDL from diabetics was as effective as control HDL to inhibit LDL oxidation. Neither HDL chemical composition nor serum paraoxonase activity showed any difference as compared to control subjects. In contrast, HDL from T2DM subjects showed a higher alpha-tocopherol content which positively correlated with HDL oxidability. Paraoxonase activity positively and strongly correlated with HDL inhibitory effect on LDL oxidation in patients and controls belonging to the heterozygous activity phenotype. Besides, LDL oxidability showed no differences between patients and controls. These results suggest that fairly-controlled T2DM patients with HDL-cholesterol levels within normal range show: 1) normal HDL ability to inhibit LDL oxidation related to normal paraoxonase activity; 2) higher HDL oxidability in spite of its high alpha-tocopherol content, which could favour tocopherol-mediated peroxidation and 3) normal LDL oxidability possibly due to the lack of significant lipoprotein structural alterations.

When making a U-turn is the driver required to signal?
QUESTION: I recently moved to California and became a licensed driver, however, I am a little confused about two things. First, when making a u-turn is the driver required to signal his intent? Second, is it illegal to change lanes while driving through an intersection?
ANSWER. Welcome to California and thank you for sending your questions, I hope the answers will make you a safer driver. The reason that you signal for a turn is to alert other drivers that you are planning on making a maneuver that may affect them. A U-turn is even more extreme than a normal left or right turn, so a turn signal is required.
Regarding you second question, there are a number of issues that come into play when passing through an intersection that make it unsafe to change lanes at intersections. The primary issue is changing lanes when a driver in a cross street ahead of you is making a right turn and expects you to remain in the same lane in which you are currently driving. If you suddenly change lanes, the driver will not have time to move out of your way. Another issue is proper signaling. Drivers anticipate that a vehicle entering an intersection with a turn signal flashing intends to make a turn at the intersection, not make a lane change.
We own a 2005 Subaru that we intend to sell in a couple of months. We recently received a vehicle registration renewal notice. There is no indication that a smog certificate is required for the renewal of registration. Are we required to get a smog check before selling this car?
Although a smog check was not necessary to renew your registration, because your vehicle is more than four model years old, the seller is required to provide the buyer with a valid smog inspection certification at the time of the sale or transfer. More information on this subject is available on the department's Website www.DMV.CA.gov.
I own a small salvage yard in the San Gabriel Valley and routinely mail my registration to the Bakersfield Business Service Center. To save some time, I want to start taking them in person, is there a closer Business Service Center to the San Gabriel Valley?
You are in luck! Two new Business Service Centers have just opened in your area: one in Covina at 1365 Grand Ave. and one in San Bernardino, at 473 East Carnegie. These offices are only a short drive away and you will be able to bring in your registration work without wondering whether or not they were received.

Hiking minimum wage a bad idea
Kicking God out was a bad idea
Gun control just doesn't work
Hiking minimum wage a bad idea
Gov. Cuomo's plan to increase New York's minimum wage by more than 20 percent to $8.75 should worry New Yorkers. The proposal may appear beneficial, but the actual effects of such a hike will be fewer opportunities for less-skilled job seekers in a state where over a quarter of them already can't find work.
Businesses that hire entry-level employees and pay them minimum wage — restaurants or grocery stores, for example — keep 2-3 cents in profit from each sales dollar, and can't just absorb the increase. Raising prices on cost-conscious customers typically isn't an option, either, because sales fall as a result. Businesses are instead forced to provide the same service at a lower cost—that means more self-service, and fewer job opportunities for the same people the governor is concerned about.
The evidence backs up the intuition: Recent research published in a Cornell University academic journal found a greater than 20 percent drop in employment for less-educated New Yorkers following the last state-mandated wage hike.
Research director, Employment Policies Institute in Washington, D.C.
Kicking God out was a bad idea
Increasing violent crime, terrorism, and other evil acts in America, causing the death of many including innocent young children, has raised the question; "Where is God?"
The answer is simple: He is exactly where many have asked him to be: outside looking in!
He has been asked to leave government, the education system, as well as corporate and public life. He has also been asked to leave family and individual life! He is being neglected and/or rejected by many!
Consider the increase of violence and immorality in entertainment; including television, movies and video/computer games that children and adults are viewing. And then it becomes evident why evil is skyrocketing, and morality is rapidly declining in America!
Why is it that evil, immorality, perversion and corruption are tolerated, and even promoted, yet righteousness and God are not tolerated and promoted? Since history often repeats itself, it seems reasonable, and expected, that if this pattern continues the result will be ever increasing occurrences of these evil and wicked events. This could lead to the eventual, complete downfall and destruction of this once great nation!
The solution is also simple: Turn back to God, his Son and the absolute truth of God's word! It must start in the hearts and minds of individuals and families before it will ever make it further!
"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." Psalm 33:12.
Gun control just doesn't work
I think the people who believe there should be more gun control should read the story about the Battle of Athens. It is a reminder of what the Second Amendment is all about. It is not about hunting; it is to protect you from the government.
Page 2 of 2 - Let's start dealing with the real problems. Why would New York close its mental hospitals, put patients in the streets and then blame guns when an unstable person commits a gun crime? The law-abiding citizens do nothing wrong, yet they are the ones getting punished.
Media is also to blame. There are countless stories of gunmen stopped by a good person with a gun but are never heard of. Why? Because it doesn't fit into the politicians' views of gun control.
FBI statistics show more people were killed with a hammer than all the gun-related deaths, yet is there an outcry for banning hammers? We need logical thinking in combating this issue. Do not react for the sake of reacting. We need harsher punishment for criminals. Remember, criminals do not abide by laws. Switzerland's gun crimes are so low they don't keep statistics.
We need to let our politicians know that gun control does not work. "Assault" rifles are already illegal in New York. We need solutions that will actually work.

Over the past few generations I've come romanticize stealth in games. Growing up as a Nintendo kid, I missed out on Metal Gear and didn't play a proper stealth based game until Ubisoft's Splinter Cell. It's probably this game that brought a sense of adoration for hero's hidden in shadows. It was just so appealing to see a character who took to evasion. Usually such cloak and dagger tactics were necessary because the opposition was so overwhelming that there was no other option, but what was even more engaging for me was evasion, not out of necessity, but out of challenge. It may be easy for me to clear out this room with a giant machine gun, but how much more stylish would it be to get through the room without anyone knowing I was there? This fascination with more rogue style characters transitioned from these stealth focused games into a wide range of other games I play. In rpg's I'll make a charismatic assassin, in Far Cry 3 I limited myself to the bow and the starting pistol, and I adore the idea of "no kill" playthroughs of games (even if I'm not always able to pull it off). Now with this love of stealth based gaming you may find it surprising to find out that, up until a week ago, I had never played any of the Thief titles. So with a bit of lull in current release schedule, I decided to rectify that and picked up Thief II: The Metal Age.
Now, as mentioned in the title, Thief II is an old game, and with that comes a few rough spots that over the last dozen years, have been refined. I could go on for a long time about these obtrusive parts. Things like the jump and climbing mechanics, how areas that graphically appear dark are classified as light by the game's detection system, and how there is no walk speed slow enough to avoid making noise, but rather you are forced to tap forward to inch your now noiseless body along. All of these sorts of issues seem rather null when discussing a game this old and don't cloud the things that make Thief special. So, instead of boring you with "old games were less player friendly than today's games," I'd like to just talk about what makes Thief such a special stealth title, and how, even today, it's ability to provide the player with an experience that fulfils the fantasy of being a thief is unmatched.
In Thief II, the player controls the character of Garrett, a man labelled as a master thief. Garrett provides a good avatar for a thief experience. He makes flippant remarks as he navigates the world, his appearance is almost never seen (using your scouting is really the only way to see his outfit), and most importantly, he's the last of his kind. Early on in the game Garrett narrates that the city watch has been coming down on crime with greater force over the last while, to the point that he is one of the last remaining thieves. Right away this identifies the player as someone unique, a thief who, in spite of ever imposing odds, has managed to stay free and profitable. Really though, this is about as far as the story goes to aiding the notion that the player is this elusive larcenist. Instead of overtly telling the player they're a great thief, Thief II lets them be a great thief.
To me, one of the defining features of thieves is that they always look out for themselves first and as a result, usually have to rely on their own wits and abilities. Thief II fully embraces this archetype in both it's gameplay and story by isolating Garrett. There is no superior in your ear criticizing your actions, but this also means there is no help for this lone thief. Saying that though, the player is not totally devoid of help. As Lambert ques Sam Fisher into plot details in Splinter Cell, Garrett's narration alerts the player of various gameplay mechanics and story ques. However, because these comments are coming from the character the player is controlling, it creates a far greater sense of self reliance and maintains this reclusive persona that Garrett has going on. Furthering this is the game's emphasis on resource management.
At the start of each level the player is given the chance to buy a variety of tools and ammo to bring into the next level. Very little of what the level contains is disclosed to the player (this level is set on the rooftops, so maybe I should buy more rope arrows), and so one is forced to make purchases on what they think they might need. Save for a few random arrows and flash bombs scattered throughout each level, this is the only equipment provided. This lack of knowledge and finite resources creates great dilemma's throughout each level as one has to decide whether it's better to use up the provided water arrow's in a particular bright hallway, allowing one to easily slip by, or save them on the off chance that the later rooms contain enemies which can only be subdued by the scarce ammo. This lack of aid pushes the idea that Garrett is alone and also manages to create a sense of accomplishment. I can see how such design is risky. I know there was one level where I mismanaged my ammo and it made the last section of the level particularly frustrating, but when correctly managed it leaves a person with the impression that they have the same knowledge as Garrett when it comes to the decision of going all in or holding back. But what happens when things do go awry? Traditionally, the master thief always has a trick up his sleeve to get out of a tight spot, and it is really hear that Thief II shines. Thanks to the game's level design and the tools at the players disposable, Thief II allows for eureka moments where the player get to use their own ingenuity.
Thief II provides a wide variety of tools in the form of Garrett's various equipment. There are water arrows to put out the various torches within each level. There are moss arrows that dampen the sound of Garrett's walking. Garrett can also climb ledges that are within his reach. Along with a variety of other standard thieving equipment that is featured in countless other similar games. What separates Thief II from many other stealth based games is that the game never tells you exactly when it's best to use such tools. It provides you with a basic outline of how they work, but then charges the player with the task of finding out their full potential. In many games with such a wide gamut of abilities, it often seems that specific sections are built around specific abilities. "Now is the time to use the teleport ability, now is the time to use the slow time ability," and so on. Thief never has these sort of imposed strategies, but rather opts to leave the player in charge of how to best overcome the obstacles faced. Now, there are other games that give a wide range of tools like Thief II, but where Thief really capitalizes is in it's level design.
The level design in Thief II is what pushes the game from a great stealth game to a game that frequently makes "top 100" lists. Levels in Thief strike the perfect balance between hand crafted design and free form. A level in thief is specifically crafted so that a lot of the tools can actually be utilized. Many ceilings will be grapple points for your rope arrows, torches line the halls, but are positioned so that extinguishing them would provide excellent cover from patrolling guards, and patrols take just long enough for you to pick the lock on a door and slip inside without being noticed. However, none of these paths feel forced onto one play style or another. Sometimes in Deus Ex, a level can be structured so that it can feel like "here's a vent for stealth based characters, here's a room with rocket ammo for explosive minded individuals, here's a security room for hackers, and here's a super long tunnel filled with water for swimmers (yeah right, who levels swimming)." In Thief, it's far more organic. Often times I would get through an area with one method, die, and then upon reloading my save, go through the same area in a way I hadn't realized before. This can be partly chalked up to the fact that there is no rpg levelling system in Thief. As much as I love levelling in games, it can be a deterrent in terms of player experimentation. If I'm heavily invested in lock picking, I simply don't have the necessary skills to try out other option when trying to infiltrate a compound. By linking player abilities with equipment, Thief ensures that your options are always open. And for me, this is where Thief delivers it's greatest feature, by providing the player with a set of tools and arena that, though designed, is left open for the player to experiment with, the player relies on their own wits and abilities to overcome opposition, not the designers. Having this level of agency allows for moments of sheer player authored ingenuity. As Portal makes you feel like a genius for figuring out a tough puzzle, Thief makes you feel like the quick thinking rapscallion that the game has you playing by actually having you devise how best to avoid detection.
The game is of course not without it's share of problems in these key mechanics. Gold does not carry over from level to level, which sort of flies in the face of the resource management presented through the items in the game and I found that in the back third of the game, level design did begin to falter as paths became a bit more restricted and alternate routes a bit more obvious. That said, I love a lot of the stealth games I've played over the years, but I can't think one that puts the onus of evasion on the player like Thief II: The Metal Age does.

The Gallipoli campaign of 1915 made the word 'Anzac' instantly recognisable throughout Australia and New Zealand. Even before the evacuation of Gallipoli, individuals, organisations and businesses began to use the word for a variety of purposes. Some uses were purely personal, such as those who wished to name children Anzac; others wanted to give this name to their homes in memory of a son, brother or relative who had been on Gallipoli. Organisations, such as those raising money or preparing comforts for the troops, wanted to incorporate the name Anzac into their title. Businesses looked to attract custom by using the word to describe a product or in the name of the business itself. Then there were those who wished to copyright some article which was associated with Anzac songs, photographs, cards, designs etc.
In 1916, concerned that the word Anzac might be misused, especially by commercial concerns, the Commonwealth Government issued 'Paragraph (2)' of the 'War Precautions (Supplementary) Regulation'. This prohibited the use of the word in any 'trade, business, calling or profession'. By the time the regulation appeared, many people had already begun using the word to describe a business or a product. Some now sought permission to continue using it because they had gone to some expense to have stationary printed or signs made.
Members of the public often reported breaches of the regulation to either the police or the Commonwealth Attorney General's Department. The staff at the Attorney General's Department administered the regulation rigorously, and later amendments to the 'War Precautions Act' prevented even Gallipoli veterans from naming their homes 'Anzac'.
In the collections of the National Archives of Australia there are many files dealing with applications to use the word Anzac or to copyright material associated with Gallipoli and the remembrance of the campaign. These files sometimes contain the actual object for which the applicant sought copyright or permission to use the word. Each file also contains material relating to the decision of the Attorney General concerning the case. This section of the site features some of that material.
'Day by day – a national heirloom'
Amongst the National Archives of Australia files is an undated newspaper article which relates to public concern about the use of the word Anzac.
The Acting Attorney-General, Mr Mahon, has done the right thing in reserving the word "Anzac" as a national heirloom by refusing applications to register it for trade purposes. We do not want the Anzac Hotel in every town of the Commonwealth, where its sign board would inevitably arise but for the Minister's prohibition. The Anzac Liver Pill would have been a sordid certainty, and the Anzac brand of tea would rise up and perpetuate the referendum light with Anzac whisky. Fortunately we are to be spared all this vulgar bill posting on the monument "more durable than brass" that Australian valor has raised at such awful cost. But the naming children is another question. Unfortunately, the persons who will have to bear the name of Anzac have no say in the matter. A question has already arisen as to whether Anzac is a more appropriate name for a girl or a boy, and probably both sexes will have to bear the burden of it. This the Government need not interfere with, but it has power to refuse registration of the name as a trade mark or sign of any kind, and by exercising that power the enterprising salesman who might otherwise secure a monopoly of the use of the word will be very properly blocked. The word Anzac is coined out of material more precious than gold, and it is a coinage which no one should be allowed to debase.

Brazil to inject stimulus after disappointing growth
Brazilian fans cheer during the Men's Football first round Group C match between Brazil and New Zealand on Day 5 of the London 2012 Olympic Games at St James' Park on August 01, 2012 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
Jeremy Hobson: Now to Brazil, which has been a bright spot in the global economy in recent years. But things are starting to slow down -- so today, the government is launching a stimulus package of sorts.
For more, let's bring in the BBC's Joao Fellett. He's with us from Brasilia. Good morning.
Joao Fellett: Good morning.
Hobson: So what exactly is the government of Brazil planning to do here to stimulate the economy?
Fellett: Well, Brazil's government is set to launch a series of measures, hoping to inject up to $50 billion into the economy over the next five years. The first part of this plan includes privatizing about 14 km of railways, roads. The government is also expecting to privatize ports to bring energy costs down to do some incentives for industry, some tax cuts.
The main reason is that growth in Brazil is predicted to be under 2 percent this year, which would be the weakest performance since 2009. And also a sharp slowdown from an impressive 7.5 percent rise in 2010.
Hobson: But you can't always have 7.5 percent growth. I mean, obviously the economy's going to slowdown. Why do they feel pressure to do this kind of stimulus right now?
Fellett: Well the country has a very large population, a very large poor population. And the government argues that it needs to keep high growth rates in order to include these people. So the recent weak results have been attributed mainly to rising debt rates among the population, and also the global downturn. So the government is acting with the tools it has at least to keep it higher than 2 percent.
Hobson: The BBC's Joao Fellett in Brasilia. Thank you so much.
Fellett: You're welcome.

No smoke or fire; officials looking for cause of alarm
Students at Holland East K-7 school spent about 30 minutes out in the rain this morning after a fire alarm sounded in the building at 373 E. 24th St.
School officials are looking into the cause, said spokesman Tom Page. There was no smoke and the alarm was not pulled by a student, he added.
Page said he was glad proper protocol and evacuation of the building was followed despite the cold and rain outside.
The alarm went off about 10:15 a.m. and firefighters cleared the scene about 10:45 a.m.
The school has more than 700 students, according to the website mischooldata.org.

I had a c-section for my twins on Nov. 12th (18 days ago), and I'm still bleeding - similar to a normal menstrual period. Does anyone know if this is normal? This is my third section, and even though I feel great, I'm not sure why I'm still bleeding. Yes, I am very busy w/four children under the age of 5. I'm trying to be good and not overdo or lift, but it's tough. I'm going to call my dr tomorrow morning, but wanted to ask for your experience too!

Many owners say that if they are visiting a friend's home and need a charge, they rely on dryer outlet if available. In case dryers are away from garage or a place where car is parked, I am assuming that these folks are using an extension cord. What are the specificaitons and links for some of these extension cords? I am wondering if on road trip, we should also keep such an extension cord along with UMC for just in case. This allows us to get power from many homes at a faster rate than say 110 V.
Great question! I've been looking at this and found this 10-30 extension cord:
I imagine for safety's sake that if you are connecting this outside you should wrap the join in Saran wrap to keep out moisture from rain, snow, dew, etc.
Has anyone else used this particular extension cord?
Tesla apparently does not sanction the use of electrical cords at this amperage (for obvious reasons).
There are two different 30-amp plugs that are commonly used for clothes dryers in the US, depending on local electrical codes and when the house was built. 10-30 is a three wire plug--L1, L2, and a combined ground and neutral. 14-30 is a four wire plug where the ground and neutral are separate. This is more common in newer homes.
Tesla sells adapters for both, but you need to be sure which one you need. For charging, you do not need the neutral, but you do need the ground.
Fifty-amp plugs have the same complication--6-50 and 14-50.
You can buy plugs, receptacles, and wire at Home Depot if you want to make your own.
I was looking at my dryer and indeed it is 14-30. Shape is like NEMa 14-50. So we may need two types of extension cords for two types of dryers. I am learning so much. If we use UMC to get power from 14-30 is it smart enough to not ask for 40 amps and trigger the breaker as I am guessing same cable will be going in 14-30 or 14-50.
He common conductor pin is different on a 14-30 and a 14-50. When you use the adapter for the outlet the car will know what it is plugged into and set amps accordingly. You can also set amps manually in the car.
Not sure that was clear. A 14-30 won't plug into a 14-50. And a 14-50 won't plug into a 14-30.
Thanks Roamer. Getting more clarity.
There are many threads on this topic. Perhaps the most comprehensive is this one:
If you look at my post on August 24, I list everything I got and where I got it. I based this set around a 50' NEMA 6-50 (welder) cord. I chose that cord for several reasons: with three wires, it is a lot lighter than a comparable four-wire cord, plus I can adapt it back to virtually any other outlet type, so I don't need to carry more than one extension cord. The cord is good quality, and they will even print your name on it. I have tried virtually all of the permutations and combinations in this set, and all have worked fine. In other words, I can charge from up to about 70' away from just about any drier, welder, RV, or standard 110V 15 or 20 amp outlet.
Always check the cord an hour or so after you plug in to make sure it is not getting warm.
I just did this with a 10g extension cord used to use for my table saw. Put a 14-50 female on one end, 10-30 (old style dryer) on the other and tried it at my In-Law's house. Turned the rate down to 24 amps. Worked great.
This is the best resource I have found (from link on TeslaTap site):
I made my own dryer-to-1430 10-foot extension cable and outlet based on instructions on this forum, and parts from Amazon. Just make sure you use heavy enough cable. I have used it at several relatives' houses to extend the UMC's reach into laundry rooms and basements. I am not an electrician, but can connect A to B without causing a short. There's not much risk, as the car self-evaluates the connection and won't engage if you do something wrong. Your mileage may vary...
We bought a 100 ft 6 gage yellow contractor job site cord equiped with 14-50R and 14-50P on the ends at Menards. They also had 14-30 14-50 pig tail adapters. Actually got change from a couple of hundred dollars. For about half that cost they had plugs and drop-cord to make your own---but you woudn't get the nice molded plugs on the cord.
I use an unused 10-30 dryer plug for all my charging. I did have it moved from laundry room to garage. It works fine at 17mph and stays nice and cool.
You won't find a ready made dryer plug extension cord (either for a NEMA 14-30 or 10-30), so use one of the resources listed above to learn about and make your own.
I made a 20 foot NEMA 14-30 extension cord using a nice outlet and plug I found at my local Ace Hardware along with flexible 10 gauge wire (rated for 30A). It cost me under $30 to make and worked quite well until I was able to install my HPWC.
For 14-50, just search Amazon for RV extension cords!
What I got is a 50Amp extension cord and 4 adapters for different plugs, including the 2 different dryer types:
30' 50Amp extension
Adapter 1:
Adapter 2:
Adapter 3:
Sorry, can't find a link for the last one, but you get the gist. The extension is also useful when I want to charge my MS outside my garage (my 14-50 plug is on the back of the garage as I back into the garage to get the most out of the space with 2 cars in it - both car driver sides facing each other).
whitex - all three of those adapters you list WILL NOT WORK for Tesla charging. They all adapt a 120V source to the NEMA 14-50, but do it in a way that is useful for RVs, but useless for Tesla charging. Briefly, they take the single 120V hot from the 120V source and put it on BOTH 240V hots for the NEMA 14-50. The Tesla will see 0V when one of these is used.
Also you will rarely find a use for those three adapters. The first is a TT-30, generally found only in campgrounds, and usually there would be NEMA 14-50s available there. The other two are locking connectors generally only found on generators.
Finally, I like this extension cord better (it is far lighter, more supple, but it does cost more):
@shop: Please comment on this extension cord:
@shop: Cable link from you costs $178 whereas whitex cable costs $104. So yours seems more expensive.
Third adopter by whitex (link below) seem to change from 14-30 to 14-50. Is that also from 120V and Tesla will see nothing. I thought third adopted can get us power from dryers from friend's place. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005BNZFQ0/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=U...
Based on above, just ordered dogbone adapter and 50 amp cord - camco. Hope it works as well as recommended. Thanks.
Hi Mantin, what do you mean by dogbone adapter? Can you provide me its link? Thanks
@amitb00 - yes I said my extension cable costs more, but was nicer.
Third adapter from whitex does not change from NEMA 14-30 to NEMA 14-50. It adapts a NEMA L14-30 Locking Plug. Which is quite different. I find it very unlikely that a NEMA L14-30 can plug into a dryer receptacle.
@plusplusjames - I stand corrected. That is indeed a NEMA 10-30 extension cord for an old style dryer receptacle which would work fine for Tesla charging using a Tesla 10-30 adapter. Kinda expensive though.
James the cord you show is 10 gauge wire while the http://www.amazon.com/Conntek-14305-25-Foot-Extension-Cord/dp/B003I2LLSW is 6 gauge wire for caring 50 amps with a 8 gauge ground wire. This cable has a lot more copper in it to carry the higher amperage. I dud choose this type of cord as it can safely carry the amperage required for a faster charge. You get what you pay for.
You are correct, I won't find much use for the the first two adapters unless I find a 220V generator with one of those plugs. So far I've only used the extension cord. The 4th adapter I got (haven't used it yet) is a 4 prong dryer plug to NEMA 14-50 - it has a 1:1 connection for each phase, neutral and ground, so it should work fine.
I think the key here is to get one extension cord and a set of adapters for the the extension cord plug, rather than many adapters for the Tesla charging cable (which would require folks to get many different extension cords). The only drawback is that you have to limit your charge current manually according to what you plug into, rather than it being automatically detected by the car (I am assuming here, haven't used any of the other Tesla adapters).
Correction, after looking at the first 2 adapters again, I think you are right, they won't work.
@solarguy01: Colin from Tesla called me yesterday and explained to me (as someone who knows nothing about electricity) the importance of gauge. This confirms what you wrote. The lower the gauge, the safer the wire. I think reducing the possibility of fires at my friend's and family's houses is kinda important.
Accordingly, I am now thinking of buying the cable you suggested together with adapters from EVSEadapter.com.
My Model S doesn't get delivered until March 28th so I have lots of time.
Oh yes, and DO NOT FORGET TO DIAL BACK THE AMPS!
Several other considerations when approaching these projects:
1. Know where the outlet breaker is, so it can be flipped if things go unexpected. Advisable not to unplug at these power flows, which is often the first instinct.
2. The longer the extension cord, the bigger (lower number) gauge wire required. There are many charts and graphs.
3. Might consider picking up a Class C fire extinguisher at Home Depot.
I bought a dryer cord and a 14-50 outlet to charge while away in ME, since Tesla doesn't sell a 10-50 adapter. Cost about $35, and easy to put the 2 together. Luckily I didn't need to add much length to use their outlet.
I have a 10-50 in my house too for a dryer, but it's wired to a 30A breaker(!) so I suggest anybody finding this old outlet check the breaker panel before using it.

Hello APUG,
I have been lurking around here for a month or so. I figured it was about time to introduce myself. I'm a big fan of film photography, I was inspired by my father's photography as a child, and now it's my turn to shoot some film. he recently passed down to me a few cameras. A Hassleblad 500 C/M and a Nikon FM2. I also bought a large format 4x5 Toyo View. I just scored a box of unopened quick load Astia 100f from Adolph Gasser in the city for 10 bucks!!!!
I look forward to hanging around here and possibly meeting some of you. also if any of you know of a good photography class on how to use the 4 x 5 that would be awesome.

Re: STID: 10 years later
Naw naw Avatar was a rehash of Star Trek INS. Only Piller wrote white people in the role of the Nav'i. Had INS had pretty blue cat people who lived in a tree. People might have been more empathetic to their plight.
Story still the same as the others named above. Evil rich white man comes to take advantage of the ethnics of a foreign land and rape their land for resources. Avatar's spectacle outweighs it's substance. Which is why it made nearly 3 billion in theatres. You forget it's a rehash story about exploitation. Since it's more adventure fantasy. The weakest films ( INS, Pocahontas, Fern Gulley) are all preachy about their plot and expect the exploitation plot to drive people for repeated viewings.

"How about in the butt?"
"In the WHAT?" she asked, mystified. I almost laughed out loud. "People can do that?"
"Oh, my yes," I said. "I did it once already tonight. And I expect any wife of mine to bend over and offer me her asshole cheerfully and without reservations. Understand?"
"Oh, yes, that's no problem, Mr. Winthrop," she said, her enthusiasm dampened only a little by my revelation. "Um . . . does it hurt?"
"We'll find out by morning," I nodded. "Right now, I want you to come back to the hotel with me and a few of . . . a few friends. And things are going to get terribly out of hand," I warned. "If you can't handle that, let me know now and I'll get someone else."

The Stunt Man DVD
Price $14.98
0.00.0(No reviews)Write a Review
Peter O'Toole stars in "The Stunt Man" (1980) as a megalomaniac director who recruits fugitive Cameron (Steve Railsbeck) to replace his late stunt man after an onset accident. Cameron gets a crash course in stunt work in exchange for refuge from the law and starts to fall for the film's leading lady Nina, played by Barbara Hershey. As reality becomes blurred, a paranoid Cameron wonders whether or not his increasingly volatile director has ulterior motives that will cost him his own life. Equal parts action thriller and filmmaking satire, the innovative film is a must-see cult classic industry insider film that examines the lines between truth and illusion just as well as it entertains.

fuck i hate this vapid bitch
Is it just me, or does she have a giant thumb?
Holy shit!
His looks smaller!
What the fuck are you doing looking at her thumb? Is it some new erogenous zone or something?
What a common faux-masculine, inordinately aggro response to any comment that isn't "Nice tits," "I'd [insert graphic sexual act] that" or something similarly stereotypical of bros who must always be excessively trumpeting their sexuality. Relax, vitobonespur; I look at everything.
Stop! Don't! Who would look after her kid?!?! Bwahahaha…I'm just kidding. Strangle on.
her thumb looks like this guy i knew in college painting apartments who'd been in a car accident and they cut his big toe off and jerry rigged it up as a thumb. his name was tom. we called him tom thumb. he liked to shake hands with everyone.
Cool story, bro
i burned a doob with the thoe tumb guy!
I'd let him pretend to choke me any day.

To the Editor:
I am writing out of concern for the investigation into the Zantop murders. From what I have been able to gather from the news, it seems that neither a viable suspect nor even a viable motive has been established. I am writing in response to the apparently prevailing idea that the killer was someone who knew the Zantops. My purpose in writing is to argue that this is probably not so.
I do not know the Zantops, but am concerned with this case because I am a member of the Dartmouth community. People in this community are baffled by these murders and cannot understand why someone who knew the Zantops would ever do such a terrible thing. It is possible that the murderer was mentally unbalanced. However, as no such person appears to have been located, I suspect that this is not the case. In my opinion, the lack of any reasonable motive, combined with the beauty and inherent goodness of these two people, argue strongly against the possibility that the murderer knew the Zantops prior to their meeting on Jan. 27.
Instead, it is my belief that the murderer was unknown to them. However, I do not believe that the killing was "random;" I believe that there was a good reason that the murderer ended up at the Zantops' house on Saturday. In considering the case, I looked at maps on the internet depicting where the Zantops lived. As I am familiar with the town, I realized that the Appalachian Trail runs through the woods behind the Zantops' home. Looking at a more detailed map showed me that the Appalachian trail crosses Trescott Road within roughly a quarter mile of the Zantops' house. It is my belief that this intersection is not a coincidence, and that the murderer was travelling on the Appalachian Trail. In my opinion, it is the junction of this trail and the road on which the Zantops lived that was responsible for this senseless tragedy.
In support of this theory are stories of similar "random" murders on the Appalachian Trail. In May of 1974, a fugitive killed a 26- year-old man in Georgia. In April of 1975, a man killed a 22-year-old woman with an axe. In May of 1981, a local man shot a man and stabbed a woman to death. In September of 1990, a fugitive shot a man and stabbed a woman to death. And in 1996, two women were killed in Shenandoah National Park. In addition to the fact that these murders all occurred on the Appalachian Trail, it is significant is that these were all "random" killings, committed by people who were unknown to those killed.
That the Appalachian Trail passes so close to the Zantops' home is significant for several reasons. There are a number of elements that make it appealing to fugitives. It is relatively secluded, and one can travel on it fairly anonymously, without really having to answer for who one is or why one is there. Also, one can travel on it for the most part without coming in contact with the law. There are lean-tos and huts in which one can find shelter from the elements. With the necessary supplies, one can live fairly inexpensively on it for a long period of time. And of course, because it extends from Georgia to Maine, it offers an easy escape from whatever local troubles one might be having. For all of these reasons, it might appeal to one who is hiding from the law. Of course, even if one were on the trail, one would need money and supplies to survive. And if one were on the lam, burglary would seem the most likely means of dealing with those needs. It seems quite possible to me that the Zantops were murdered by someone in a similar situation.
I am writing because I am afraid that this possibility is not being given adequate consideration. In my mind, certain places should be investigated and certain questions should be asked. If the murderer was traveling on the Trail, where did this person sleep? The shelters in the area (Velvet Rocks, etc) should be scrutinized. There should be men and dogs travelling up and down the trail, looking for whatever clues the murderer might have left behind. There should be an alert in Vermont and New Hampshire for those who live in proximity to the Appalachian Trail. Searches should be conducted in Benton State Forest and the White Mountain National Forest, and all huts closed for the winter should be investigated. People who have recently been on the Appalachian Trail in the area should be questioned as to who or what they might have seen. News and police reports from Vermont and New Hampshire from the past five months should be scrutinized for anything that might shed light on this crime. Who has gone missing or escaped in the past few months? Reports of burglaries, attacks, or unusual encounters in towns along the Appalachian Trail should be investigated. Finally, federal databases of fugitives should be searched for profiles of fugitives that have done similar things in the past.
It is my heartfelt hope that members of the law enforcement community might begin to more thoroughly consider the possibility that this was in fact a senseless tragedy, with no good explanation, and attempt to solve it as such.
