Biliary dyskinesia defines the disorder of the bile-evacuating mechanism, a disorder due to certain motility dysfunctions of the gall bladder, of the common bile duct or of Oddi sphincter.
The Function of the Gall Bladder in the Body
The gall bladder is a small sized organ, situated under the liver. It communicates with the liver through the hepatic duct. It stores and concentrates the bile, which is a green hepatic secretion used in the digestive process. When we eat our foods, the gall bladder releases the bile through the common bile duct into the duodenum (the first segment of the small intestine).
When this mechanism is disturbed, disorders of the digestive system occur, manifested by: pain or discomfort in the right subcostal area or in the epigastrium, pain in the shoulder blades are, headaches (especially in the right area), dizziness, nausea, flatulence, sensation of fullness and distension after meals, indigestion (especially after consuming heavy or fat foods), diarrhea or soft stools, light-colored stools, constipation, a bitter taste after meals.
In the case of acute pangs, there is also fever accompanied by biliary colic (strong pain in the right side of the abdomen,subcostally, a pain that may radiate towards the right shoulder blade), nausea and vomiting. The symptoms may last from several minutes to several hours.
These biliary dysfunctions cause major disorders in the activity of the body and they may lead to liver diseases (fatty liver, hepatomegaly, hepatic cirrhosis) and pancreatic diseases (pancreatitis, diabetes), pathologic disorders of the intestinal microflora, gastric diseases (gastritis, ulcer, and gastro-esophageal reflux).
Hyperkinetic biliary dyskinesia is defined by an increased biliary activity, a decreased size of the gall bladder, a quickened intestinal transit, pains and diarrhea. Hypokinetic biliary dyskinesia, also known as "lazy bile", is defined by pains or discomfort in the right hypochondrium, a pressure in the respective area and a bitter taste after meals or after physical effort, bilious vomiting, pruritus.
The main factors to blame in a disorder of the biliary activity are stress or other mental disorders and a chaotic and inadequate food regime, characterized by frequent alimentary excesses and excessive consumption of fats, fried foods, sausages, fat or minced meat, eggs, coffee, chocolate, alcohol or other foods that take a long time to digest.
Biliary dyskinesia may also be triggered by non-alimentary factors such as: endocrine disorders, gynecological diseases, stress, physical exhaustion, anxious and/or depressive disorders.
The treatment of biliary dyskinesia is done by tonifying and relaxing the gall bladder (as is the case) and by regulating the bile secretion of the hepatic tissue. The diet included in the treatment programme will improve the hepatic and biliary activity. After ending the diet, the patient may undertake a more relaxed food regime. Nevertheless, he must have three meals a day and he must not have any snacks whatsoever between these meals.
Thus the doctor eliminates the effects of stress, adjusts the patient's alimentation, guides him to adopt a healthy food regime and also cures the organs affected indirectly: fatty liver (accumulation of adipose tissue in the hepatic area disturbing the hepatic functions), the dysfunction of the thyroid, the decreased intestinal peristaltic reflex etc. At the same time the balance of the intestinal flora as well as the mucous membrane of the stomach are also restored. Should there also be residues in the gall bladder (mud), the doctor will also perform a biliary drainage in order to eliminate them.
By acupuncture procedures in association with administration of herb hidroalcoholic extracts, it is obtained a self-cloning process of the hepatic cells, starting from cells situated in a non-infested area of the liver.
Each organ recovers its cellular structure within a certain span of time. Using the genetic information of the healthy hepatic cells in the regeneration process, the newly-formed cells will no longer carry the hepatic virus. The already infested ones are removed from the body. The treatment also includes a diet, not a very drastic one, though. It is compulsory to follow a daily rest schedule. The impact of stress and nervousness are reduced by teaching the patient certain methods of psychic self-control.
Treatment of hepatic cirrhosis involves regulation of the hepatocellular regeneration function, so that the new cells should be distributed in the necessary areas and not in nodular formations. At the same time, the regeneration rate is increased by stimulating the pulmonary, hepatic, renal and bone marrow activity. At cerebral level, we act upon the projection area of the liver in order that the hepatic functions should be performed as closely to the normal parameters as possible, until the regenerative nodules are reabsorbed and the hepatic vascularisation ways are cleared. The medicinal herbs used in the treatment protocols help the body eliminate the toxins and the cell residues that were accumulated in the blood when the liver could not perform its blood filtering function properly.

@ mfreestyle_2000, better off just going with the shadow interlock 2. it offers the streangth that your gonna need for a chain to last years, and its about $20 cheaper than the dk and i could only imagine that the shadow chain is a hole hell of a lot lighter. the dk chain is a rediculous amount of material and i couldnt see it being any better than the shadow. go for shadow only $32

Wolverine: X Men Origins
In a partnership with local waste management agencies such as the Queenstown Lakes District Council, Wolverine: X-Men Origins, which was filmed in Australia and New Zealand, was able to audit its waste streams, assess the quantities of waste and recyclables produced, and identify every opportunity to reduce, reuse and recycle or donate materials throughout the production. During production, approximately 670 tons of waste was produced out of which an estimated 615 tons was diverted from the landfill through reuse and recycling - a 92% diversion rate.

text: I have a Kaiser VP6005 which I use for colour work. As your enlarger will cover up to 6x6cm you will need a 50mm lens for 35mm and an 80mm lens for medium format. I can recommend the 50mm f2.8 EL Nikkor for 35mm and the 80mm f5.6 EL Nikkor for MF. Both are 6 element lenses and have a well deserved good reputation. All things being equal they will turn out first class prints.

AP Member Exchange
RALEIGH - As a boy, Gary Don Holt would roam the woods with his father and uncles, hunting for rabbits.
It's been more than two decades since he had the chance. Arrested for marijuana possession in Onslow County in 1986, Holt is a convicted felon and must stay away from guns. When his father dies, he'll have to ask his sister to hold on to a family heirloom he has been promised: a shotgun passed from father to son for generations.
Holt's felony at the age of 21 has robbed him of much over the years: jobs, jury duty, promotions. Of all he's missed, not being able to hunt is one of the biggest sacrifices. Holt's father is getting old, and he'd like to shoot at critters in the woods with him once more.
Holt, a supervisor at a furniture warehouse in High Point, turned to Gov. Mike Easley to make that happen. Twice, he's asked Easley for a pardon. Twice, Easley has turned him down.
"It was like a sledgehammer hitting me," Holt said. "I've turned out so good. I thought there was no way he could turn me down."
Easley has heard pleas like Holt's before. Each year, a dozen or so would-be hunters beg Easley for pardons. Though a pardon wouldn't clean their records, it would give back certain privileges such as the ability to possess a firearm.
Among the recent requests: A Duplin County Boy Scout leader who sold marijuana in college wants the chance to hunt with his teenage son. A Dunn man who said he accidentally shot his girlfriend to death wants to hunt with his children. A 68-year-old homebuilder in Alamance County accused of taking indecent liberties with a girl wants to hunt one last time.
Easley has the power to forgive each one but is frugal with his pardons. Since he took office in 2001, he has pardoned five people, each one a man who had received prison time for crimes that another man committed. Former Gov. James Hunt, by contrast, handed out more than 200 pardons from 1992 to 2000.
Easley has never tipped his hand on his philosophy on pardons or explained why he won't grant them to people like Holt. A spokesman said last week that the governor considers each application on its own merits.
Despite the odds against being pardoned, felons still flood the executive office with requests. Some swear they didn't do the crime in the first place. Others complain they can't get the jobs they want. Others need it for self-respect. Some, like Holt, want credit for the good they've done in life since their crime.
"I feel like I'm still doing time for the crime, for 21 years," Holt said. "Don't you get to be done at some point?"
When police arrested him in 1986, Holt said he was immature and smoked pot recreationally. He would give it away to friends. Holt said one of the friends informed on him to get a break on a pending criminal charge.
Holt agreed to plead guilty and was put on probation. He said he had no idea the implications of a felony conviction.
"I thought it was a slap on the wrist," Holt said. "I was just grateful I wasn't going to prison."
Since then, Holt has put himself through community college and has become a certified emergency medical technician. He teaches martial arts to police officers for free and coaches his 9-year-old daughter's basketball team. His sisters, a colleague, friends and even his ex-wife wrote letters to the governor vouching for his good character.
"I feel I'm more than responsible to have a gun," he said.
Without a pardon, hunting is too big a risk. Federal law prohibits felons from owning, using or even handling any type of gun.
Holt's pardon request has evolved into a time-consuming campaign. He's traveled to Raleigh to try to meet with legislators about it. He has written more than 100 letters, lobbying officials to lean on the governor to grant a pardon. Holt calls the governor's clemency administrator so often she knows him by name. When he reads in the newspaper that Easley is coming to his area, Holt considers going to try to get his attention.
"If I had just five minutes with him, I could change his mind," Holt said. "He's a hunter. I know he knows what it's like."
Holt's second denial came this summer. Now, he must wait another three years to ask again, according to the governor's rules.
By then, Easley will be gone. A new governor will be in his place.
Holt's launching his campaign with the next governor already. He has written to each of the five candidates for governor, asking for mercy from whoever makes it to the Blount Street mansion.

The Pixar film steals first place from Madagascar 3.
(Photo: Courtesy Disney/Pixar)
This week's box-office numbers are good news for Pixar — and anyone who loves metaphors. With $66.7 million, Brave hit a bullseye and easily snagged first place, while the weekend's other new entry, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, lacked bite.
The revisionist-history genre epic starring Anthony Mackie bagged only $16.5 million and third place. That's still above studio estimates, who only held out hope the film would make $15 million, but disappointed those who have been waiting for Mackie to finally be crowned the next Will Smith.
Brave enjoyed the distinction of being Pixar's fifth-highest-grossing debut in its history and continued its unblemished record of first place openings. The animated epic about a bow-wielding princess easily knocked Madagascar 3 out of the No. 1 spot, though that family film, voiced by Chris Rock and Jada Pinkett Smith, tenaciously held on to second place.
Next week, Tyler Perry's Madea's Witness Protection goes up against female fantasy film Magic Mike, quirky comedy Ted and Sundance favorite drama Beasts of the Southern Wild.

We had a neighor across the street and down a few houses that just aquired a doberman pinscher. I don't like these dogs to begin with they scare me a little. Especially after seeing one kill a cat one time. Anyway this dog barks constantly when it's outside. Early in the morning. 12:30 at night. And the guy just sits outside with him and lets him bark. It's become most annoying. Not sure how the other neighbors feel we aren't close to them. I'm ready to file a complaint with our county. My husband is about to go ballistic. Our dog barked but when she started we brought her inside. Plus I don't think this dog is full grown and when it is will be able to sail over the fence that is in place. We have a lot of children in the neighborhood now and I worry about their safety now. It's like you could walk your dog instead and it wouldn't bark. I guess he's too lazy.
Bummer, drag. I'd file a complaint and my husband would have done it days ago. Why get your blood pressure up??? If it is like our city, animal control comes and stops in front of the house and counts per time the barks. I think if they have to come out a 2nd or 3rd time they are fined 150.00. Gotta get them in the pocketbook I think to make a difference. Oh...I suppose you could be neighborly and talk to him first but if you wrote this here you probably decided that is not a workable solution. Good luck!
------Laurie Lou
most communities have noise laws that include barking dogs. I would call the police or sheriff's department and report the noise next time the dog barks. If they get enough calls, they will start issuing tickets to the owner.
------Deb: www.thinkingcouture.blogspot.com
My BFF had a problem with a neighbors German Shepard, she called animal control and the people started keeping it inside. She let that dog keep her up for over a month before she called, I think you should call right away.
Get a huge boom box and play rap music super loud every time the dog barks. Let the neighbors know what you are doing first and talk to them...maybe more will join in. Of course calling the "authorities " to see what options you have might be a first step. Some counties have no rules and cannot do anything.

I'd say something to the guy first. At least give him a chance to take responsibility. Then if he refuses, call the authorities. What an ass. I feel bad for the dog. Any animal that generates that kind of noise is frustrated and is being neglected either through not getting enough exercise and/or attention.
I think part of the reason this is pushing all my buttons is that he has a dog and I don't. I'm still not over losing Nicky in Jan. And I keep seeing all these people walking their dogs now since it's nice. Nicky was a barker as well but when she started and woudn't stop we took her inside.
I'll bet it makes you miss your Nicky even more when he lets his dog go on and on. Some dogs are vocal-our 14 yo terrier was so annoying as a pup and she drove us nuts. We somewhat solved the problem but I don't want to hijack the thread. How about if you walk down there when you here the barking and introduce yourself, talk about the noise and ask what he plans to do? If he doesn't control the situation, call Dog Control.

I agree with the poster that suggested you talk to the guy first, before posting a noise complaint.
Please remember that the owner, not the breed determines more about the dog. This could simply be a noisy, but nice dog.
------Needle Needle Straight and Slim, Dust and Sweep the House for Him! --Grimm Fairy Tales
Barking dogs drive me crazy!!!! Our once, nice quiet neighborhood sounds, like a kennel sometimes. I don't even go out in the yard because of the barking. I have to turn on a radio in the sewing room and the bedroom to block out the barking.
I agree with calling the law. I wouldn't approch the owner. If he is clueless enough not to keep the dog under control, he won't care what you say. I wish our animal control people could do more than "warn". Sometimes the warning is enough to scare the owners in to taking some responsibility for the animal. In the case of the fools across the street from us, this isn't so. I've had animal control out there 3 times and left them a signed note in their door. Even the neighbor next door to them(also has dogs)asked them to do something about their dog. It's the one that gets all the others started and it will bark if the wind is blowing or a blade of grass moves!
In our county, it's up to us to take the dog owner to court and have proof of the noise. Our county considers one bark a minute, for 10 minutes, court worthy.

Who can draw the parts to a paper and post or who can send hasselblad manual papers scans ? Or Someone may send flexbody close up pictures. I have boat and musical instrument making experience and I am thinking to build molds for parts for many production. I will post everything.

Picture: Liv Tyler enjoys the day at El Matador Beach with friends Los Angeles, California - 27.06.10
Liv Tyler is urging magazine editors to stop publishing airbrushed photographs of Hollywood stars - because she finds body imperfections "charming and beautiful".
The Lord of the Rings actress is tired of seeing "manipulated" images of celebrities gracing the covers of publications and she wants the media to promote a more natural look.
She tells Britain's Daily Telegraph, "I know what people look like, and I see what pictures look like before they're airbrushed - my own and those of my friends - and every image is so manipulated.
"They'll take a hair off your arm and get rid of a pore or freckle on your face.
"Personally, I find imperfections and flaws charming and beautiful. I like it that all people don't look the same."

I'd be interested in seeing how that translates on your bottom line.
Be a good experiment to set some pages to have the ad befoRe the punchline, others to use them to separate the jokes. Conventional wisdom probably suggests placing prior to the punchline will be more profitable. The 'content is king' guys would say placing it between jokes enhances user experince.
For a business webmaster... The bottom line is the bottom line. Like to hear back on a sample experimenting between the two methods.
ps: yes... Getting people to trust me is part of my secret plan for world domination. Thank you for playing.

Re: Red Dwarf series 9 (or is it 10?) in 2012 confirmed by Craig Charl
I guess my confusion is that good ratings usually guarantee renewal. Didn't someone say that it was Dave's second highest rated show ever? The BBC or an American cable network couldn't get a contract sent out fast enough.
I've just never seen television work this way.
Anyway, I'd be surprised if it didn't sell well, particularly amongst American Dwarf fans.

Violence continues; Turkish prime minister accuses Syrian president of 'state terrorism'
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Monday expressed disappointment with Syrian President Bashar Assad for rejecting the most important elements of an international road map to end the country's civil war — a political handover and establishment of a transitional governing body.
Assad in a rare speech Sunday outlined his own vision for ending the country's conflict with a plan that would keep him in power. He also dismissed any chance of dialogue with the armed opposition and called on Syrians to fight what he called "murderous criminals."
U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said Monday the secretary-general is disappointed that Assad's speech "does not contribute to a solution that could end the terrible suffering of the Syrian people." Nesirky said Ban and U.N.-Arab League envoy Lakhdar Brahimi will continue to work for a political transition that leads to U.N.-organized elections.
On Monday, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan also criticized the Syrian leader's initiative. He accused Assad of "state terrorism" and called on him to relinquish power.
"There is one way out for Bashar and that is to respect the will of the people and do whatever is necessary," Erdogan said at a media conference while visiting Gabon. His remarks were broadcast by Turkish state TV Monday.
The violence on the ground, meanwhile, continued unabated.
Syria's state media said Monday that government troops repulsed a rebel attack on a police school in the northern city of Aleppo.
The official SANA news agency said regime forces killed and wounded members of a "terrorist group" in the fighting late Sunday, but did not provide a number. The government and the pro-regime media refer to the rebels seeking to topple Assad as terrorists.
Aleppo, Syria's largest city and former commercial hub, has been a major front in the civil war since July, with battles often raging for control of military and security facilities such as the police school. Rebels have recently made gains around Aleppo, as well as in the east and in the capital Damascus, bringing the civil war closer to the seat of Assad's power.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said rebels clashed with troops in the suburbs of Damascus, including in Daraya south of the capital.

It's taken four novels, but finally Parker's Jesse Stone series has produced a book as good as top-drawer Spenser. This outing finds the laconic, troubled cop tackling three problems: to capture the pair of serial killers who are murdering random victims in small-town Paradise, Mass., where Stone is chief of police; to bring to justice the three high-school students who gang-raped a younger schoolmate; and to come to terms with his love of both alcohol and his ex-wife, Jenn. The serial killers, revealed early to the reader and soon enough to Stone, are a married yuppie pair who taunt Stone, whom they take as a dumb hick cop, as he collects evidence to bring them down; his pursuit of them leads them to kill someone close to him, then to target Stone himself, and eventually to an emotionally cathartic climax in Toronto, where the killers have fled. That story line serves as a fine little police procedural, but Parker is at his max here when following the rape plot, especially in scenes in which Stone, in his cool, compassionate way, tries to help the besieged victim as best he can. Meanwhile, under intense media attention and pressure from town elders for the ongoing serial killings, Stone works his way toward an understanding of the roles that booze and Jenn play in his life. Told in third-person prose that's a model of economy, with sharp action sequences, deep yet unobtrusive character exploration and none of the cuteness that can mar the Spenser novels, this is prime Parker, testament to why he was named a Grand Master at the 2002 Edgar Awards.
Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.
Paradise, Massachusetts, police chief Jesse Stone is an addictive personality. Booze cost him his job as a homicide detective with the LAPD, and after that blew up, he traveled across the country to be near his ex-wife, television journalist Jenn. He refuses to believe it's over between them, and she doesn't help with her come-hither, leave-me-alone mood swings. But the qualities making his personal life hell also make him a good cop. You don't want Jesse to get you in his sights if you're a criminal. The baddies in this case are a couple who target their victims based on looks, stalk them, and kill them with two simultaneous shots from identical .22 caliber pistols. While hunting the psychos, Jesse is also after three middle-class juvenile predators who raped a classmate. Stone is much like Parker's Spenser, but with self-doubt overriding self-confidence. That formula worked fine in the first two Stone novels, but this one is less successful. Too much dime-store psychology between Stone and his Zen therapist; too much love-for-the-ages blather between Stone and his ex; and too much squad-room violence between Stone and his prisoners. Stone is a worthy character, but this is not the novel to make the case. But that doesn't mean Parker's fans won't want the chance to decide for themselves. Wes Lukowsky

As it turns 50, Univision still doesn't know what it wants to be when it grows up.
Is the nation's largest and most successful Spanish-language network a reputable news agency that does quality journalism and holds elected officials from both parties accountable? Or is it a Latino-flavored public relations firm that favors Democrats over Republicans?
Launched in 1962, the network has earned billions of dollars over the last few decades taking full advantage of the fact that the mainstream media largely overlook Latinos. ...

The screening for George A. Romero's fifth zombie film, Diary of the Dead (review #1, #2), went through the roof this past week at the Midnight Madness portion of the Toronto International Film Festival. It went so well in fact that the Weinstein's acquired the film for theatrical release sometime in 2008. So what comes next? How about a sixth zombie film!? Read on to see what we learned exclusively from Mr. Romero.
Today B-D reporter Mike Pereira sat down with legendary director George A. Romero to chat one-on-one about DIARY OF THE DEAD, which is Romero's first independent film in years. During the video interview (which you'll see in a week or two) he scooped us on the possibility of a sixth zombie film!
He tells us that IF the film is a success the Weinsteins will want him to write another one, which will begin directly after the conclusion to DIARY. Unfortunately you won't know what I'm talking about until you see the film, but it's a pretty cool finale that leaves our lead characters in a very uncomfortable and tight position.
Otherwise Romero explained that he doesn't really have any direct plans to go forth with the franchise right now and has other projects he'd rather be doing, like SEASON OF THE WITCH. So the fans will have a huge impact on when we might see more of the undead!
With a story mixing elements of "The Blair Witch Project" and the long-running "Dead" series, the film will follow a group of college students shooting a horror movie in the woods who stumble upon a real zombie uprising. When the onslaught begins, they seize the moment as any good film students would, capturing the undead in a "cinema verite" style that causes more than the usual production headaches.

Tony Farmer's highly anticipated college basketball career came to a screeching halt Tuesday.
Farmer, a heavily recruited high school basketball player from Garfield Heights, Ohio, was sentenced to three years in prison for kidnapping and assault of his ex-girlfriend, Andrea Lane.
Farmer, 18, turned to his attorney after the sentence was announced and collapsed to the floor.
The sentence is set to be reviewed after 180 days.
The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer reports that the incident, which took place last April in the lobby and parking lot of Lane's apartment complex, was caught on the apartment complex's videotape. Farmer also reportedly sent threatening text messages to Lane.
Farmer, a 6-foot-6 forward, was one of the top 100 prospects in the class of 2013. Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Iowa, West Virginia and Illinois were courting him, according to rivals.com. U-M had offered him a scholarship, the site reported.
Most schools recruiting Farmer were waiting to see how the case played out, Garfield Heights High basketball coach Sonny Johnson told the Plain Dealer.

I wanted to add DRLs to my 2011 F-150. Ordering was easy, the LED Headlight Bezels arrived quickly and fit perfectly. You do have to find a way to connect the positive wires to a wire that has 12V only when the ignition switch is on. I chose to tie into the wire for the backup camera I had installed previously that is on whenever the ignition is on. Since these lights draw less than 100 mAmp per side, power consumption is not an issue. These lights are not overly bright, but are sufficient.

Clocks shift back an hour to standard time at 2 a.m. Sunday. That'll give an extra hour of sleep to most people Saturday night -- and an extra hour of work for those on the overnight shift.
The change also means it'll be dark an hour earlier next week.
Those who don't remember to set them back Sunday will be out of sync with the rest of the community. If they still haven't remembered to do it by Monday morning ... well, at least they will be early to work.

Game Description: It's the mid-1980s and Tommy Vercetti has just gotten out of jail. He's gone to Vice City for a new job but he's been set up. Now every player in the city wants a piece of him -- mobsters, bikers, crooked politicians, everyone. Tommy's only hope is to take them all out and run the city himself.
Sigmund Freud argues that all living things are governed by two basic instincts: the life instinct called Eros or the death instinct called Thanatos. Eros is the energy that tries to build social ties, fueled by the body, which floods the mind. Thanatos destroys ties and is the wish for destruction and death. All social activity can be reduced to complex forms and interaction of these two instincts. However, when civilization and socialization disrupt the normal ebb and flow of instinctual living, the mind breaks up under the demands. The threefold self is the id, the collective genetic inheritance of the species; the ego, which acts to meet the demands of the id; and the super-ego, which represents the internalization of the demands of society. Humans struggle to find an outlet to meet the demands of their instincts, but in ways that are socially acceptable. War is a perfect justification when Eros fails to tame Thanatos. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is another.
Vice City, the sequel to last years seminal Grand Theft Auto III (GTA3), gives players rational, legal means to act out their bloodlust. All that stuff about being your own character in these games is bull. The game is specifically designed to enact violence. The logic that this is "only a videogame" gives the impression that the players actions of murder and raising mayhem is part of a broader social significance justifying their love for the game. Nowadays anything can be considered anything, whether its "just a game" or a mature piece of art detailing political and civil revolt. Say what you want about Freud, but this rationalization of ones actions through this game serves as an ideological reservoir for those whose Thanatos instinct long remained inert.
Whats wrong about Vice City cannot be justified however. For months before its release, weve heard about the many features added since GTA3, as well as those improved upon. An improved targeting system was much touted, including a promise that a threat would be targeted over a pedestrian. However, when I tried to aim my MP5 gun at a line of Cubans in front of me, the targeting system suddenly zipped over to a civilian riding a motorcycle, across the street and behind foliage. Even if they didnt promise an improved targeting system, it was highly problematic the first time and shouldnt be just as bad the second time around.
So I miss the Cubans and ended up dying in a hail of gunfire. When Im revived at the hospital (which is how you restart in GTA games), Im relieved to find a taxicab waiting to take me back to the mission I failed. And I give the mission another shot. The same line of Cubans are waiting for me, and I take aim making sure nobody else is within a few yards from me, besides the enemy. Bingo. I have a bead on a Cubans floral print shirt, soon to be crimson. But once I pulled the trigger, the gun locks. Theres no reason why it should lock, because I just received the gun. This was the first of many glitches I experienced during an extended playing of Vice City.
Vice City is an improvement over its predecessor in some ways, given the nature that the game is supposed to be an expansion of the series, not a true sequel. You now assume the role of Tommy Vercetti at a Miami-based city in 1986. Having just been released from prison, the Liberty City Mafia sends you to Vice City to do odd jobs there. When a big cocaine deal goes wrong, Tommy is forced to raise the money by himself, and also find out who messed with the deal. An established thug in Liberty City, Tommy now needs to work up his way to the higher echelons of the Vice City social circle, but exactly how high he gets is anyones guess.
The high a gamer gets from Vice City should be familiar though. Anyone familiar with the previous game will be able to dive right in. For those who arent, you are a criminal set loose in an entire city (twice as big as Liberty City from GTA3), and you are to follow a set of missions for the various connections you make throughout the game. The gameplay remains largely the same. There is a six-star wanted level meter that gauges the urgency of the law enforcement chasing you. There are more than three times as many weapons of your choosing, including a chainsaw, an M60 and a katana sword. You still jack cars, but now you can also jack motorcycles, mopeds, seaplanes, helicopters and golf carts, among others. You also have the newly gained ability to duck. Tactically useless, it allows for better aim in first-person shooting mode.
Vastly improved over the previous game, the missions are much more complex, varied and a whole lot more fun. While it still involves you driving from point A to B, each mission manages to come up with different objectives. The first few already has you smashing up jurors cars to intimidate them, starting a riot at a workers union protest, launch an all-out air assault on an estate, steal a tank from the army and takes you through a thrilling dirtbike chase through winding alleyways. Other examples of the diversity near the end have you jumping from rooftop to rooftop with a sports bike and taking paparazzi photos of a crooked politician. Also, ripped right out of Speed, you must drive a limousine at top speed with any moment of slowing or stopping resulting in an explosion, killing you and the very drunk rock stars youre driving around and whose life you depend on.
The game remains linear, despite the freedom you have between missions. About a third of the way in however, the games goals are suddenly switched. You no longer do missions for the benefit of others, but largely for you. This includes buying property like strip clubs, taxi companies, auto dealerships and a porno film studio. Money is hard to come by in this game, so your main source of income (besides conveniently robbing convenient stores) would be the revenue generated from these places. That means ensuring success in their respective businesses. Wipe out rival taxi companies. Find cars for your automobile showroom. Success will guarantee you a generous helping of money as the days go by.
The glitches I mentioned earlier rear their ugly head the more you play. Sometimes Tommy would mysteriously lose three points of life when hes only walking. A vehicle you might have before a cutscene would disappear afterwards. Often times I found myself sinking into the floor. Sometimes I would be able to jump out, other times I found myself falling into a vortex of game textures that unintentionally gave it a look similar to Alfred Hitchcocks Vertigo. Another horrible glitch found me getting busted while I was driving at top speed, still the cop was able to teleport next to my door and drag me out. A good number of these glitches werent even in the first game, which gives me the impression that this was a rushed release. Still, theres no excuse for poor programming, especially because the game remains essentially the same, and the glitches significantly affect your performance.
Besides the weird auto-related glitches, one thing the game does get right is the driving portions. The two-wheeled vehicles drive like a dream, and car handling has been significantly improved. Even controlling the aircrafts in the game feel ok, but I wouldve liked a hover maneuver for the helicopters. Still, the car physics work well, and the law enforcement give quite a chase, especially since they can now pop your tires. If there is one thing that is undeniably fun in the GTA series, its the chases that thrill and kill.
And you can do that all to a wonderfully compiled 80s soundtrack, with over 9 hours of music and talk radio. The song choices are excellent, ranging from Michael Jackson, Wang Chung, Run DMC and Electric Light Orchestra. Its no small feat that they were able to secure the licenses for so many big names, resulting in the player actually switching stations so they can hear a song they like. The game takes the limited memory and repetition of game music and exploits it as commentary on the predictability and pretense of mainstream and public radio. If it isnt that, its at least one area of the game that is impeccably done, as well as improved upon.
Another highly notable aspect is the voice acting. If Kingdom Hearts secured the kid-friendly bouncy voices of Lance Bass and Mandy Moore, Vice City has Goodfella Ray Liotta as Tommy, Miami Vice star Philip Michael Thomas, Burt Reynolds, Tom Sizemore, a hilarious Deborah Harry of Blondie, NY Giant Lawrence Taylor and illustrious porn star Jenna Jameson. Not only is it a treat to hear so many wonderful talents, but they also significantly add to the atmosphere and mood of the story, which has been much improved over the previous game. Now that your character is fully fleshed, his interactions with others add a new layer of depth of the "crime" story the developers are trying to portray. They still mince words and racial epithets ("I hate those Haitians," a polite Cuban crimelord says). But at least cocaine is actually identified as such, the cussing sounds natural, and the dialogue is actually snappy, thanks to Liottas characteristically vicious snarl. What I dont understand is how the game finds certain words comfortable to say and while others are taboo. Im not sure why they decide to not use the F-word when the rest of the language is clear R-rated material.
While the first games main draw was the ability to raise hell on a whim, it seems much more fun in this game to actually do the missions. Theres even an in-game map if you pause, with clearly marked locations for your convenience, something the first game sorely needed. Yet the maturation process of the series remain standstill because of the developers refusal to move outside racial and social stereotypes (a petty comment towards gays is prominently displayed at the beginning of the game), and staying away from certain taboos of popular art, merely suggesting sex and drug use. Compared to what this game couldve been, this is still kids gloves. Also its frustrating to have to restart the entire process of getting weapons, getting a reliable ride and getting to the mission point on top of finishing these longer, more complex missions. A simple retry option during missions wouldve helped lifted that burden.
Throughout the game are the cultural signposts of today: smarmy quick-witted commercials, fast cars, loose women and free market capitalism. But most prevalent in the game is the ultra-violence that this game celebrates. Like Chi wrote in his GTA3 second opinion, the game gives you the choice of violence or more violence and little else. Vice City is a boiling pot of unchecked anger and confusion. There is little doubt that this is pop art, not great art, that succeeds in creating a world and following of its own. Despite the illusion of flawlessness this game gives off, theres little denying the sheer joy that comes from its crude gameplay styles, and if youve never experienced GTA3, go ahead and add another point or two to the score. The game is undeniably fun, and has a huge amount of replay value, worth every cent.
GTA3 and Vice City are peculiarities in that they are so heavily influenced by outside texts, like film; racial and social stereotypes; and music. American pop media absorbs things like experience and sense of self, simplifies it and regurgitates it as commodity. Vice City is the monstrous child of American pop culture and consumerism, accepting our media-saturated culture which is its fuel, and in turn, fuels it. The most devastating thing about Vice City is the targeting system not in the game, but within a real life context. It has so many targets, yet doesnt have a bead on a single one of them. Instead it randomly blasts at everywhere it pleases, shooting holes through the very fabric of entertainment and morality. The flaws that remain in this update to last years runaway hit, along with the new glitches that shouldnt even be there, are impossible to ignore, and even cheapen the experience.
The near-unanimous praise for Vice City shows that Thanatos energy according to Freud isnt the only winner. Its Rockstar for pulling off a heist that most companies or games wouldnt be able to get away with. Vice City is a repackaged game that isnt meant to be a sequel, and shows no significant improvement over the previous game besides superficial changes like motorcycles and more guns. Yet the game receives perfect scores and is hailed as a revolutionary title, despite its significant but overlooked flaws. Rockstar was able to successfully absorb the Thanatos instinct of gamers, repackage it, simplify it and sell it as a hot commodity, rationalized as "just a game," hiding behind the guise of irony, shielding themselves against the charge of tasteless exploitation.
So who or what is being exploited? Its not the Haitians, the gays, the Italians nor the 80s. Its the gamers, with their wrong-headed cheering of the games surface value without any clear relation to the intrinsically flawed gameplay. To the games credit, its also a testament to the emphatic interactive nature of videogames, impacting an audience by allowing them to act out their darkest fantasies, performing pleasurable violence vicariously through Tommy Vercetti, who is the most significant and unlikeliest of videogame mascots to emerge in recent times. He is wittier than Sonic, more Italian than Mario, but most of all, he is most prevalent in my mind when I think about when the face of Thanatos revealed itself to me.
Disclaimer: This review is based on the PS2 version of the game.
Gene is right—Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is all about Thanatos. It's all about death, and the destruction and violence that surround it. But this is nothing new to games, and this is nothing new for game reviewers. As Chi brought up in his Dynasty Warriors 3 review, at some point you have to stand back and ask yourself why you receive such enjoyment from this gruesome spectacle.
But is this a unique situation for videogames? Is it a unique situation for art in general? It is not in either case. Carnage and destruction has been used for comedic effect and the amusement of the audience in many different areas, to differing levels of success. The crucial thing is how the violence is presented. One reason that the violence can remain appealing in Vice City is because of the level of abstraction. Since you are killing stereotypes in an over-the-top (i.e., unrealistic) manner, there is not the level of human connection and thus, not the compassion that one might expect in the situation of a brutal murder. Since it's all presented as a cartoon and the simplistic bodies just disappear over time, it is easy for the player to revel in a carnival of excess.
This is heightened by the satirical nature of the game. As much as Grand Theft Auto borrows from gangster movies, it borrows from social satires, treating everything in the game as a parody, as something to be lampooned. It can be argued whether it does this successfully or not, but it brings up the question of how to analyze the violence. Do we negatively criticize 'A Modest Proposal' for its insensitivity regarding the serious taboo of cannibalism? To do so would be to miss the point entirely. Surely, Grand Theft Auto is not in the realm of Swift in terms of sophistication, but it deserves to be considered within the context of its genre, that being satire.
As a sequel, Vice City is barely a progression from Grand Theft Auto III. It's probably better to view it as a refinement, and one that is seriously flawed at that. As Gene notes, there are numerous graphical flaws and aspects that can only be viewed as bugs in the game's programming. But there have been some beneficial changes, and some that have a very real impact on the gameplay. The main area of positive change is in mission design. Missions are now more complex and much harder. Another area of progress is the persona of the main character. Having a personality and a voice to attach to the main character gives the game great focus and narrative flow than the anonymous story of Grand Theft Auto III. The negative changes have been well chronicled by Gene, and it's clear that this game was released well before it was finished.Even though Vice City has its problems, it still is a case of two steps forward, one step back. Taking all the glitches and the essentially still-born nature of the game into account, it's hard to say that this game deserves all the accolades that it has received. At the same time, it is still a fantastically fun game to play, and that is because it retains the formula that worked so well just a year ago. A great driving engine plus a tongue-in-cheek satirical bent mixed with a healthy dose of black humor equals one of the more mindlessly entertaining modern experiences in videogames.
Disclaimer: This review is based on the PS2 version of the game.
According to ESRB, this game contains: Blood and Gore, Strong Language, Strong Sexual Content, Violence
Parents must keep this game as far away from kids as possible. Dont believe the hype that this is a mature crime drama, but the part about it being violent, bloody and demoralizing is true. Sex and cocaine use is suggested, and while the graphics are crude, so are the deaths you are able to enact on innocent (and not-so-innocent) people.
Fans of the GTA series, especially the third one, should get this. It improves on almost every single aspect of the previous game, despite the fighting, targeting and camera system still being as stiff and awkward as ever. Anyone expecting a matured plot may be disappointed, but not completely. The plot is greatly enhanced thanks to Tommy Vercetti having a voice, the plot twists are actually interesting and character development exists, as opposed to the non-existent character development of GTA3. All the characters are colorful stereotypes of their respective ethnicity and social standing, and are much more memorable this time around.
Fans of the 80s, especially the music, should eat this one up. And if anything, riding the two-wheeled vehicles makes it all worthwhile.

LONDON (AP) - No wonder they're endangered.
Galapagos tortoises at London's zoo lumbered around impassively as famous French pianist Richard Clayderman serenaded them with music from his latest album, "Romantique."
The music - an attempt Thursday to put the reptiles in the mood to mate - appeared lost on the slow-moving giants.
Even a rousing rendition of "Chariots of Fire" did little to lift the tortoise's spirits. They only seemed to perk up when zookeepers brought them some carrots.
Galapagos tortoises are the largest in the world and can live for over 150 years. But the gentle animals have struggled to fend off predators and are now under threat.
Clayderman said that it was "funny to be here."
