Question: Cognitive Decline, Chronic Fatigue, Fluctuating Heart Beat
|wrxn240sx - Sat Jan 17, 2009 7:53 pm
Most doctors first thoughts would be Depression. My PD told me everything I felt was caused by depression, and frankly, I will never see him again. For the past year or so I have had progressive cognitive decline to the point where I can hardly function. My memory, attention, and intellect are at its lowest points. I don't even know how to express how bad it has gotten. My language skills have dropped significantly. I have a very hard time finding words. My mind feels blank or in poverty of thought all the time. I was born with some intelligence, so I am able to be kind of aware of what's going on. I can't interact socially anymore, I simply don't know what to do! If I am depressed, I feel it was brought on because of my cognitive decline.
I need at least 12 hours of sleep to make it through the day. Even then I am chronically fatigued throughout the day.
My heartbeat is usually always in the range of what would be considered "tachycardia". If not while sitting, it will jump up high when I stand up. That scares me that whenever I'm up on my feet moving around, my heart is always in overtime. Very rarely will my heartbeat be normal, but it is sometimes which is weird.
I am only 19 years old. I have friends that are very depressed are function ALOT better than me. As far as their social skills and language skills, they are not as affected. I feel it's something physical, because the only mental condition that I've seen that can cause this bad of a decline is schizophrenia, which I don't think I have, but I don't know.
|John Kenyon, CNA - Tue Jan 20, 2009 11:05 pm
Hello -
While depression can cause the symptoms you describe, I tend to believe, as you do, that there's something else going on. Of course situational depression can develop due to a chronic problem, and this can only serve to cloud the picture further, but there are so many other things that could be causing this that depression really needs to be set aside until and unless everything else has been ruled out. I certainly don't hear anything that suggests schizophrenia.
To start with, you also describe a classic case of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), which of course is often mistaken for depression, which is too easy a mistake to make. Your memory, cognitive faculty deficit, fatigue, etc., all fit perfectly with CFS. Some others that should be ruled out are liver disease, kidney disease, Lyme disease, fibromyalgia and hypothyroidism. So you see, a summary diagnosis of depression, especially without any significant attempt at laboratory testing to rule out physical causes, suggests need of a second opinion at least. Since you've effectively "fired" your doctor of record, the next one you see will hopefully go about this methodically and order appropriate tests to see just what's going on.
Since there is such a broad spectrum of possible causes, and because your symptoms most closely resemble CFS, one might think this would be the first cause investigated. However, since the cause of CFS is unclear at present, those other conditions mentioned must be ruled out (or in) by laboratory testing and overall good detective work (including intelligent questioning by the attending physician), and CFS is often the default diagnosis (not depression); when it is, it is treated symptomatically and supportively, since there is neither a clear cause nor a definitive therapy for most cases (some are linked to a form of pneumonia and respond to antibiotic therapy, but this is a small subset of patients).
Hopefully you'll find an interested doctor who will go after this aggressively. Meanwhile, try and get as much (gradual) exercise, as you find it tolerable, rest but don't become depressed and inactive if you can help it (I know, some of this sounds contradictory, but you have to pretty much play this by ear while remembering that there is a certain amount of work involved that doesn't seem right), eat as well and as healthily as you can, and remain persistent as your own advocate. You might also want to take notes or keep a journal and take a list of questions, symptoms, etc., with you to your next medical appointment, in order to make certain you remember all you want to mention, since it's very easy under these conditions to forget much of what you meant to say, and it often can be important.
I hope this is helpful to you. It is of course impossible to diagnose what's going on at a distance, but I think support is definitely in order and I can give you that as well as the above suggestions as to differential diagnosis, and my opinion regarding anyone leaping to an unfounded conclusion about the cause of these very frustrating symptoms. Best of luck to you and please follow up with us as needed.

After reuniting with ex-wife Brooke Mueller a month ago in a PDA-filled vacation in Mexico, Charlie Sheen was spotted with one of his other ex-wives -- Denise Richards -- on Saturday.
The former couple cheered on their 7-year-old daughter Sam at a soccer game, spending "quality time" with their other daughter Lola, as well as Richards' 3-month old daughter Eloise.
The two punctuated their soccer field reunion with a pair of sunny tweets.
"Just got back from Sami's soccer game," Richards tweeted. "She did great... Happy to see Charlie Sheen cheer her on. Proud parents!"
Sheen replied to Richards' tweet, "Nothing better!"
Though it's definitely a bit jarring to see the two interacting so amiably, it shouldn't come as such a surprise, as back in July Richards told Us Weekly that she and Sheen "talk every day" and that he was "supportive" of her decision to adopt Eloise.

is this thunderbolt one or thunderbolt two. Is there a display with a thunderbolt two connection
- Asked by Thomas M from Huntington Beach
Apple Thunderbolt Display (27" flat panel)
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
Best Answer:
This Display has Thunderbolt 1 and USB 2. It will work with Thunderbolt 2 and USB 3, but will be running / passing through the lower speed data.
It is highly probable that Apple will introduce new monitor(s) in the near future that will offer the higher speed ports.

Rapid Action Battalion raided a place in Dhaka and arrested a handicraft businessman and two of his workers at the DCC Market in Gulshan.
RAB was allegedly searching for Rabindranath Tagore's Nobel Prize medal stolen from Uttarayan Complex of Visva Bharati University at Shantiniketan in India in March 2004.
According to Rapid Action Battalion the members conducted the raids on the basis of information over telephone from a foreign country that the medal is in Dhaka. However, Rab did not officially confirm that the raids were carried out in search of Tagore's Nobel Prize medal.
In a daring burglary at the Uttarayan of Visva Bharati University, the Nobel Prize medal, a watch, a bangle and important citations belonging to Rabindranath Tagore were stolen from the museum on the night of March 24 in 2004.
Amir Khasru has more on the story.

Hi guys...I am so happy for all who had good news this week,but unfortunely I won't be one more to add. My onc has called and I'm to start chemo again this Thurs...isn't it funny my ca-125 went down a bit but more disease showed up on the ct scan. I thought I would be having the paracentisis to look for ca-cells but my onc said there was enough evidence on the ct scan to start chemo, without subjecting me to the parancentisis It definetly makes sense, because of all the pain I've been having lately. Anyone have some advice or exp. with Gemzar???? Lot's of love and (((hugz)) to all...Joanne

Feb 06, 2007 - 8:39 am
Hi Mopar
Feb 06, 2007 - 1:50 pm
The issue if a 'hidden area' always did concern me. That's why I drill my doctor everytime he gets the CT results, with a lot of 'what ifs'. I hate to do that, and I know he's not God and could never say for sure, but I'm always trying to be sure it was done correctly and read correctly. My appointment is at the end of the month and, as usual, I will have my notebook with me with tons of questions.
Well, thank you for taking the time to answer me personally. I will definitely be keeping you in prayer. Let us know when you start chemo, and if there's anything I can do for you. We may be miles apart, but the Lord knows no boundaries!
Love and hugs,
Feb 04, 2007 - 7:24 pm
Hello Joanne, like Monika said, I, too, am so sorry that you didn't have better news. I was hoping to add you to the 'great' list we had going last week. I am one of the women that has tried Gemzar. In fact, they started me on it just about a year ago this month. They gave it to me for about 2 1/2 months. After one treatment, my number went down by 10 points. I think I was given it every week. Anyway, after finally taking the number down a grand total of 60, after the final treatment, my number went up quiet a bit, so they immediately stopped it. On the positive side, I didn't have any problems whatsoever with it. And, although my hair thinned considerably, I didn't go bald. That was nice. I was extremely disappointed when it didn't work, but thank goodness the taxotere/carboplatin did. They must use Gemzar because it must work for lots of women, but I know several that didn't have success such as myself. Have you ever tried Avastin? It seems to work well, but has some terrible side-affects - such as horrific headaches, like Bonnie had, and an increase in blood pressure. I hope someone that has taken Gemzar with success will post to you. By the way, Joanne, what is your present CA-125 number? Do I remember correctly, around 60ish? My heart just goes out to you having to face chemo again. You will be in all of our prayers. Stay strong and positive!!! How long was your remission? I'm up for more tests in about a week. As always, I'm thinking of cancelling appointments for the month. All the tests, then the waiting, just gets too much some times, I think. Well, I'm thinking of you and praying for you, like all of us.....Much love and hugs, MichaelaMarie aka Keelie
Feb 04, 2007 - 11:11 pm
Joanne, I so hoped to see some good news from you also. But your news isn't all bad. They are going to do the chemo again and your attitude is strong. Please keep that. I think most of the time that is half the battle. I will think of you this week and send a prayer your way. Cindy
Feb 05, 2007 - 10:47 am
Hi Joanne, I've had that happen, ca125 go down and ctscan show growth in disease. So frustrating. I have had gemzar and for me it didn't work, but we each are different. Are you getting it with something else or gemzar by itself?
Sending you lots of positive energy and hugs. Bonnie
Feb 05, 2007 - 1:18 pm
Joanne, I am so sorry, that breaks my heart. I just wrote Monika earlier that when my doctor decides to start chemo again, he said a few months, I am going to go to the Cancer Treatment Center of America. Before I got my news last week I contacted them and my insurance pays for it even though they are out of network. The first trip they will pay my and 1 others air fare and then the motel is 40.00-65.00 a night, and they shuttle you to the hospital. They deal with chemo, your immune system, spiritual ect...
Feb 06, 2007 - 8:43 am
Hello All..
Feb 06, 2007 - 10:44 am
Joanne, I am sorry to hear you went out of remission. How long were you in remission? I am doing chemo for a second time around. Gemzar was one of the drugs my onc uses. i choose to do a study of topopecan and carboplatin. Wish you much success with the new round of treatment.
Feb 07, 2007 - 8:05 am
Feb 07, 2007 - 10:18 am
Joanne, I hope the best for you. This time may be the miracle for you. I have a young friend who had lukemia at 2.5 years, at 12 cancer reoccurred at the side of his head, he did more chemo, at 17 the cancer came back in his face, more chemo and a bone marrow transplant, had half of his face removed. His parents were told to take him home to die there was no hope they had done all they could and there was nothing left to do. A year later he walked down the hospital corridor and and his doctor looked at him and said "you are still alive!" that was seven years ago and he is my big supporter today. So miracles do happen. I am in my second round of chemo right now. I was in remission for only 9 months so was devastated when I had to start chemo again. I have had one regement of chemo (2 treatments to each regiment) My white count went down to critical so I have been postponed for two weeks. Hang in there. eleen

MD, MSPH*‡; Dunn, Shane RN*; Rue, Loring W. III MD*‡; Cross, James M.

Consequently, the frequency with which burn centers across the country are admitting patients injured as a consequence of the volatile manufacturing process of MA is increasing. This study focused on comparing outcomes between burn patients injured secondary to MA laboratory explosions and patients sustaining burns from other mechanisms. All patients identified to have suffered burns secondary to MA laboratory explosions between 1998 and 2004 were included in this study. These patients were compared with those who did not experience such burns during this same time period. In total, 19 patients were identified as having been burned in MA laboratory explosions. These patients had a larger component of third-degree burns (24.8% vs 13.5%; P < .05) as well as TBSA burned (28.4% vs 20.7%; P < .05). In addition, patients using MA had an increased incidence of inhalation injury (31.2% vs 6.1%; P < .05). They also exhibited a significantly increased frequency of complications, such as nosocomial pneumonia, respiratory failure, and sepsis. Overall, the rate of mortality was significantly increased in patients using MA (26.3% vs 8.5%; P < .05); however, no significant difference was observed after adjustment for age, burn size, and inhalation injury. MA burn patients have larger burn size, incidence of inhalation injury, and increased morbidity when compared with non-MA burn patients.

text: So a few days ago I went to bed with my battery at about 30% and I forgot to plug in the charger. Needless to say, when I woke up the next day my phone had turned off during the night because the battery had fully drained. I plugged it into the charger and a couple hours later it was fully charged. The funny thing is that ever since then, my phone's been keeping its charge a helluva lot longer. Just today for instance, I unplugged it at 100% charge this morning (about 11 hours ago) and the phone is currently at 80% charge. That was after the same amount of usage that I've been doing daily since I got the phone. It used to be at about 40%-50% when I got home from work. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but for the last two days my battery at the end of the work day has been at about twice the charge than before I FULLY drained the battery and recharged it. Anyway, you guys might want to get it a go to see if it does anything for you. Then again, I may be imagining things I'll keep doing some observations to see if anything reverts back to the old battery life I was getting.

Midland Mortage Midfirst Bank Midland Mortage or Midfirst Bank Tennant complaint preexisting black mold conditions after asking for removal family is made to live in mold and without hot water. 2320 N. Harrison Avenue Shawnee , Oklahoma
Two months after we moved in the hot water also went out as we requested that another was put into the home as it is illegal to reside in a property without hot water. The code enforcement came out to the adress and did a initial assement as to the mold damage , as well as the hot water and refrigerator not working nor the oven on the stove. The code enforcement told me that they didn't know who owned the property and that we would have to purchase our own hot water heater and have it put into the home.
My fanily and I went four months without hot water and eventually had to purchase the hot water heater as well as have it installed into the home. Mean while the colorado springs code enforcement response to the mold conditions was that there was nothing that they could do for that matter and never adressed the fact that my mother son , and I didnt have a way to cook our food shower bath nor wash our cllothing due to this unlivable property. There is injuries sustained from the molded conditions as it isvery difficult to breathe in this house .
Between the coode emforcement and the bank my family , and I have been put into a situation that has kept us sitting in a unlivable situation as renting motels con become very exspensive as well as having to eat out on a daily baisis . My sons breating has been treated with breathing treatments on a daily basis as needed , mother has had to have a increase in her oxygen levels as well as treated with new and unnecessary inhalers due to the mold as documenten by her physican. When and everytime I stand up to walkmy balance is so off that I have fallen several times .
I have had double infections due to the mold being hidden as we have requested that the mold be removed in writting as well as verbally and instead we were made to live in it for years meanwhile the code enforcement as well as some of our nieghbors think that the situation is funny . Mold can be deadly as my family and I have been violated in every way shapr and form as to this bank with holding all information from us as tennants we didnt even know who the real owner was until recently . We also filed complaints with legal aid as we reach out to others in prayer and hopes thats they will reach back . My mother wasn't well when me moved into the adress so with that being said the mold surely hasn't helped her as a stroke victim.

My "excuse" is that there is poor quality of info as we get down the generations of the Randolph of Turkey Island.
Turns out Margaret Smith Randolph was the daughter of Thomas Jefferson Randolph, born Monticello, died Edge Hill.Separately, I confused Edge Hill of the Randolphs with Rose Hill of the Carter.:>(
Turns out her husband William Mann Randolph was the son of Dr. John Randolph, son in turn of Patriot Thomas Mann Randolph - and brother to my William of Tuckahoe.

Creating an HR dream team
What is organisational design?
With ever-changing expectations of consumers across a global market, private and public agencies, businesses, and groups are finding more and more value in strategically approaching organisational design.
What does organisational design have to do with HR?
A motorbike and a bicycle have a lot in common but they both function in very different ways. So why is that? The simple answer is design.
How to put a high-impact operating model design in action
What is the new organisation?
We just launched one of the world's largest studies of people challenges in business, Deloitte Human Capital Trends 2016, and the results were striking. Among the 7,000+ companies who responded (in over 130 countries), the #1 issue on leaders minds is "how to redesign our organisational structure" to meet the demands of the workforce and business climate today.
10 principles of organisation design
These fundamental guidelines, drawn from experience, can help you reshape your organisation to fit your business strategy. A global electronics manufacturer seemed to live in a perpetual state of re-organisation. Introducing a new line of communication devices for the Asian market required reorienting its sales, marketing, and support functions. Migrating to cloud-based business applications called for changes to the IT organisation. Altogether, it had reorganized six times in 10 years.
How leaders increase productivity
When some people hear the words boss or leader, they may think these two words mean the same thing. The reality is that these two words are completely different.

Innovation is the new competitive advantage, and large companies are realising that it's hard to do when culture, processes and mindset don't support this new way of thinking.

Name: Research Animal Retirement Act
Bill Number: SB 1884
Healthy cats and dogs deserve the opportunity
to be adopted into loving homes instead of being euthanized after being used
for research, testing or education purposes. This bill—which received unanimous
support in both chambers of the Illinois General Assembly—would require a higher
education research facility that receives public money to make a reasonable
effort to adopt out healthy cats and dogs no longer needed for research. The
bill has been sent to Gov. Rauner's desk, where it awaits his signature.
This long overdue legislation will not only save animals' lives, but will also not
cost the state any additional money to implement. Please share this action with
your friends and family in order to help ensure that the House also gives its
full support to its passage this year.

Call to Actions:
If you take action and have not already registered, you will receive periodic updates and communications from National Anti-Vivisection Society.
Please give cats and dogs no longer needed for research a chance to live in loving homes
Dear [Decision Maker],
I am writing to ask that you sign SB 1884, a bill that would make healthy dogs and cats available for adoption once they are no longer needed by a higher education research facility. This bill, which received unanimous support in both the House and Senate, would require publicly-funded higher education research facilities to make reasonable efforts to make their research dogs and cats available for adoption, either through private placement or through an animal adoption organization before considering euthanasia. The research facility's own veterinary staff would make the determination if the animal is suitable for adoption and they can then work with a local humane society, animal rescue or shelter to find a good home. Too often animals used in research are regarded as disposable commodities to be discarded when the research or education project is done, and are euthanized instead of having a chance to live out their normal lives. This legislation would give these animals a chance to have lives after research, requiring only an adjustment to existing adoption policies that provide limited opportunities for adoption.Please give your support to this common-sense bill that would cost Illinois taxpayers nothing, while giving dogs and cats a chance at finding loving homes.
Sincerely,[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State ZIP]

Tricky diagnosis
Though it started out a little slower than usual, this year's flu season has been pretty typical, said Dr. Jack Alexander of Fariview Red Wing Medical Center.
Peak season is normally between January and March, he said, and Minnesota seems to be right on track: Last week, the Minnesota Department of Health website upgraded influenza activity in the state from regional to widespread - the highest level of activity.
Influenza symptoms include a bad cough, body aches and a high fever - symptoms that can be similar to those of a cold. So how do you tell which one you have?
The difference between a cold and influenza, says Alexander, is the severity of the symptoms. He likened the symptoms of the flu to a freight train.
"The virus itself tends to be a little more serious than just a regular cold," he said. "The symptoms are stronger. You tend to be sicker."
Alexander says the best way to determine if you have the flu or just a cold is to monitor the influenza activity in your area.
"Be aware of what's going on in the community," he said.
If you have a higher fever than you usually do when you're sick, have more muscle aches and hear of increased flu activity around you, he said, it makes sense to schedule and appointment with a doctor.
Alexander said doctors can do a nasal swab to test for influenza. If the virus is detected early enough, specific antiviral medications can help lessen the intensity of symptoms, he said.
And because influenza is caused by a virus that mutates from year to year, Alexander said, your body's immunity to it won't last.
"You are vulnerable to get it again each year," he said.
That's unlike most colds, which are caused by a few different viruses that your body can build immunities to.
And, although some people believe that colds are caused by the change from fall to winter, it's really the increased number of people gathering in a confined space that's the culprit.
For example, when school resumes in the fall, children are gathered in classrooms, touching shared objects such as pencils and desks. The children come home and pass the germs on to their parents, who, in turn, go to work and pass them on to their co-workers.
@Sub heds:Relief, prevention
@Normal1: Alexander says getting a lot of rest and drinking plenty of fluids can help relieve flu symptoms. He also said not to count out the benefits of chicken noodle soup to make you feel better.
As for relief from cold symptoms, Alexander says over-the-counter medications can be helpful, though he says to be careful not to overdo it.
"Sometimes medications can make things worse," he said.
To prevent the flu, get vaccinated. Alexander said if you haven't had influenza yet this year, it's not too late to get your flu shot.
Practicing good hygiene is another way to help prevention of influenza - and colds and gastrointestinal illnesses as well. Meanwhile, using hand sanitizers, and sneezing or coughing into your sleeve, not your hands, helps reduce the spread of illnesses as well.

About CT Tango Weekend
Connecticut Tango Weekend is a tango extravaganza which takes place on the third weekend of each March, as a complement to the Connecticut Tango Festival. With its instructors Dale Ellison and Gem Duras, its initial focus is the Argentine Tango Boot Camp which is an intensive afternoon designed to introcude tango to new enthusiasts. The weekend then includes more advanced workshops and tango socials known as "milongas."
The Connecticut Tango Weekend has successfully introduced hundreds of dancers to the Connecticut Tango Community since its inception in 2010.
The Milford Activities are sponsored by the Milford Arts Council, which also presents weekly tango classes on Mondays at its downtown location, Milford Center for the Arts.
2016 Schedule
Argentine Tango
Half day 3 hours of instruction with Dale and Gem packed into this Saturday of intensive Argentine Tango for beginner level dancers and those who want to review the basics and technique. No previous experience necessary, limited enrollment.
2:30 p.m. - 5:30 pm (with short breaks): Argentine Tango basics, embrace and connection. Next phase, pivots, ochos and turns. Free leg movements, combinations with ganchos "hooking legs together".

Tango Elegance
Two workshops emhasizing tango elegance, the women's technique, style and drama geared towards those with some Argentine Tango and/or Ballroom dance experience.
Dale Ellison, known in Buenos Aires as Delia, has been dancing Argentine tango for more than 20 years, and teaching for more than 12. She has developed a reputation as a dynamic Argentine Tango teacher and performer in salon, milonguero, nuevo and performance styles of tango.
Originally a San Francisco resident, Dale received her tango training from the stars of the famous show "Forever Tango" most notably Carlos Gavito and Marcela Duran. Initially a salsa dancer and club style salsa instructor, Dale was drawn to tango for its sensuality and passion, later winning the first prize in the first San Francisco Tango Competition in 1998.
She has traveled to Buenos Aires numerous times to study with Gustavo Naveira, Osvaldo Zotto, Oscar Mandagaran, Chicho Frumboli, Geraldine Rojas, Graciela Gonzales, Marcela Duran, and women's technique with Lorena Ermocida.
After teaching in CT for five years with Gem Duras, Dale Ellison moved to Charleston SC, where she teaches and runs tango activities as the director of Tango Rojo.
Gem Duras has been dancing tango for 20 years and teaching full time for 12. In 1990's he studied with the original cast members of the famous show Forever Tango, in particular the legendary Carlos Gavito. He then visited Buenos Aires numerous times to study advanced technique, ballet and stage tango with younger Forever Tango stars Francisco Forquera and Jesus Velazquez, receiving his tango training certificate. Over many years he became familiar with the styles of such important and diverse dancers as Mariano "Chicho" Frumboli, Gustavo Naveira, Susana Miller, Javier Rodriguez, Osvaldo Zotto, Norberto "Pulpo" Esbrez, Geraldine Rojas, Carlos Rivarola, Juan Carlos Copes, Dana Frigoli and Milena Plebs. As a result he is able to teach and guide the students in various tango styles such as Salon, Milonguero, Nuevo and beyond.
He holds weekly classes throughout Connecticut and regularly travels to Buenos Aires to follow the current trends in tango. With Tango Sueño co-founder Dale Ellison, he organizes and directs the Connecticut Tango Festival.
The Connecticut Tango Fest was founded by Jorge Gem Duras and Dale Ellison, to introduce Argentine Tango to new dancers, and to increase the vibrancy of the tango activities in Connecticut.
The festival is repeated once a year in Summer, with various guests from Argentina and beyond. As an offshooet of the festival, the CT Tango Weekend focuses on the Argentine Tango Boot Camp and various workshops in cities throughout CT.
The activities in Milford are sponsored by the Milford Arts Council. Workshops and tango socials have taken place throughout New Haven, Hartford and Stamford Metropolitan areas, as well as Noralk, Danbury, Enfield and Westhcester, NY.
The festival guests in the past included Oscar Mandagaran and Georgina Vargas, Los Totis, Pablo Nievas and Valeria, Zunino, Daniela Kizyma and Pablo Velez, Victoria Sarquisse and Federico Jorquera, Carolina Jaurena and Diego Blanco.

We are not consumers. We are people.
We are not living lives meant to earn money in order to support a shopping habit, or a large home and two cars, or lives of luxury eating and entertainment.
We are not living to support the corporations. And yet, if you were to take an objective, outsider look at our society, it would seem that we are.
We spend our childhoods — precious years that are far too fleeting — in schools geared to give us the best chance at getting a job. We then graduate and are highly pressured to go to college (getting into large debt in the process) so we can have the best chance at getting a good paying job. Then we claw at each other for the coveted but limited good paying jobs, and the winners are rewarded with big homes and SUVs and nice clothes (and lots of debt to go with all that). The losers are stuck in menial jobs they hate, envious of others they see on TV with luxury lives, eating cheap fast food and consigned to shopping at bargain outlets.
Either way, we find our path as consumers. And everything is solved by consumption — when we're stressed, we shop. When we want to be entertained, we buy the entertainment. We buy our food in packages, we fix our failing health by buying exercise clothes and equipment. We fix our debt by buying personal finance books and taking out a second mortgage.
Our lives are beholden to our shopping habits. We are slaves to corporations, doing work we loathe for stuff we don't need.
What if we could break out of it?

As of 17th July 2017 this encompasses every review within ZXSR. If you would like this or any other review removed from this website, please contact the website administrator here.
It seems that the trouble began when some dotty scientists realised that the object hurtling into our galaxy was not a bit of space debris, but, was in fact a very complex, alien artefact. The machine is out of the range of our probes, so how can the scientists discover all there is to learn from the master race that built this express blob? You guessed it, they are going to send you up there to put the brakes on. Some smart Alec in a white coat has worked out that if access can be gained to the central control computer and the correct sequence of codes be placed in it the ship will grind to a halt. Well that's the theory, it's up to you to try it out in practice.
You start on the deck called 'CCC' this is on level 4 deck 4/4, roughly in the middle of the ship. The layout of the ship is constant, it has 7 decks but the number of 'rooms' varies according to the deck. Decks 1 and 7 have only one room, decks 2 and 6 have 9 rooms (3X3), decks 3 and 5 have 25 rooms (5X5) while deck 4 has a matrix of 7X7 giving 49 rooms. A simple map of the ship would be diamond shaped. Each of the decks and rooms are interconnected by service tubes.
The player is presented with a 3D, vector graphic, view of the space ship internals. The focus of the game, the 'CCC', has seven empty racks and inside each is a letter and an empty space. In the start up game the letters are K, O, M, P, L, E and X, the task is to find the seven letters and place them in the empty space within the corresponding racks. The missing letters will be found scattered about the ship inside the many other racks the vast majority of which contain nothing but circuits, so it's going to take you a long time especially if you don't make a map as you progress.
To help you your ship is equipped with a target indicator which points in the direction of the rack containing a target letter. Once you have found the rack and docked with it you will be able to transfer the letter to your own ship, then it's back to the CCC to place the letter into the correct rack. Repeat this process with the remaining six letters and the Alien will have been re-programmed.
The scientists on Earth will not have explained the ships automatic defence system, possibly because they thought that you might not go, but we know what a brave bunch CRASH readers are. The first element of the defence system is the surface lasers, long poles protruding from the floor, firing as your ship passes and damaging shields. The second element is mobile droids called Monitors and Wardens which seek you out and fire on you, again damaging shields. When you move along a service tube you will be fired upon by the third defence mechanism. Your own laser will not work within the confines of the tube so all you can do is minimise damage by deflecting the attacks with an external shield. Shield strength is indicated by an array of short bars under the playing area. With each hit they will shorten and eventually vanish. Shield strength can be improved by destroying the droids with the laser provided you and allowing their debris to settle.
The degree of hassle you get from the mobile attackers depends on the ships awareness of your presence, if you scamper about the place bumping into walls, tubes and over motion detectors the ship will alert more of its defence against you. The player knows how aware of him the ship is by the number of 'warden alert points' he has accumulated, these, together with the damage to your shield, can be cleared by changing decks.
Apart from the target location device your ship has an accurate navigation log to help keep track of your location, and luckily you don't have to travel along a tube to find out where it leads because in a fit of inexplicable cooperation the ship will tell you the destination of a tube when you dock with it.
Accompanying this game is the free Editor which allows customisation of the alien ship you can turn off the various defences for instance. It has been included to aid in making maps which in turn speed up the process of playing the game. Another feature of the Editor is that it will generate entirely new maps to extend play. Each new map name will invoke a map, different in every respect except for the number of rooms and levels, which will remain constant.
It is important to remember that the map generator does not generate random maps, if two machines each had a map named 'CRASH85' then those maps will be identical. Since each map is generated by a combination of any seven letters the Komplex Editor is capable of creating a total of well lots and lots of different maps.
'After the failiure of The Great Space Race Legend have rapidly produced Komplex. On playing I was totally confused, but as time went by things became clearer. Although confused I had fun shooting wardens etc. After learning how to play, the game's awesome task was before me. I managed a 'K' and now I just need the rest. This game, with pretty decent 3D graphics really grows on you in time. All in all a much better offering than last time.'
'Komplex is a very attractive looking game, with nicely moving 3D objects drifting about the screen. The detailed ground rises and falls as you move towards it very well. It looks like a very professionally written program, but oddly enough, as soon as you move the screen moves jerkily left and right, although this isn't as noticeable if moving forwards or backwards. It's a little bit disturbing. I like the idea of the regenerating shields which enables you to progress through enemy territory for some considerable time, and the docking idea is really good, especially as you float down hexagonally- shaped tunnels, where the sense of forward movement is created by waves of colour coming towards you. However, I began to lose interest after a while - perhaps it could do with more fast action, although the strategy side of it is quite good, and it's a little over-priced for what you get'
'I am really having a great deal of difficulty making my mind up about this game. The effects created by the graphics are superb and the interior of the space ship is truly alien and eerie. The pure arcade player may not find satisfaction in the shooting action, nor will his adrenalin pulse around his system as he tries to avoid death because dying is not easy. The real purpose of the game is to explore and eventually re-program the ships central computer. After playing the game for an hour there is little chance of your being surprised by the objects and scenery that will be found on a new deck. As a pure mapping game Komplex is winner because of the number of non-random maps that can be created, all of them graphically excellent. An astute player will soon learn that the more care he takes in moving about the ship the less aggravation he will get from the defence system, others may simply ignore the attackers on the grounds there is little chance of being killed anyway.'

One of the biggest reasons you send an RSVP card is to see who is coming. Some of your guests may have horrible handwriting so we recommend that you discretely number the back of the rsvp card and match it with your guest name so you can easily figure out who sent it if you can't read it! Make sure this part is clear for your guests and that the date to RSVP is clear as well. Typically you will have your RSVP by date 1 month before the wedding.
Meal Choices
If you are having a plated meal with a choice, be sure to include a place for your guests to select their meal - beef, chicken, fish, vegetarian. You do not need to include the sides. If you are not having a choice, or even if you are, your caterer or venue will most likely want to know any allergies or dietary restrictions of your guests, so add a location for guests to note that.
Return Envelope
Now you will soon find out that not everyone is great at RSVPing, even with a self addressed stamped envelope, but you need to make it as easy as possible and be sure to include this important piece for your guests to get it back in the mail ASAP!
Digital RSVPs
Looking to save on the return envelope, include a small card to have your guests RSVP online. Your wedding website may allow for it or there are sites like eventbrite.com that allow for you to set-up a place for your guests to RSVP. Check out their free event planning tools that may come in handy!
Other Activities
Your RSVP card can be used for other activities that weekend as well. Having a welcome reception? Have your guests also note that they are coming on one RSVP card to save on paper and stamps!
Have Fun!
Get your guests excited for the wedding and have some fun with them on the RSVP card! Ask them for a song that would get them on the dance floor, ask them for a date night idea or what their favorite candy is for a candy station.
Be Patient
Like we mentioned earlier, not everyone RSVPs right away. You will most likely have to follow up with some guests after the RSVP by date to confirm if they are coming or not, so be prepared and be patient!
