Although beta-blockers have been a cornerstone of therapy for patients with coronary artery disease for more than a generation, a new study published in JAMA suggests that that in the modern era beta blockers may not improve outcomes.
Sriapl Bangalore and colleagues analyzed data from 44,708 patients enrolled in the Reduction of Atherothrombosis for Continued Health (REACH registry), 31% of whom had a prior MI, 27% of whom had documented CAD without MI, and 42% of whom only had CAD risk factors. Patients who received beta blockers were compared with matched controls and were followed for a median of 44 months.
Beta-blocker use was not associated with a significant difference in the rate of cardiovascular death, nonfatal MI, or nonfatal stroke:
CAD patients with prior MI:
- 16.93% in the beta-blocker group versus 18.60% in the controls, hazard ratio [HR] 0.90, CI 0.79-1.03, p = 0.14
CAD patients without prior MI:
- 12.94% versus 13.55%, HR 0.92, CI 0.79-1.08, p= 0.31
Patients with risk factors only:
- 14.22% versus 12.11%, HR 1.18, CI 1.02-1.36, p = 0.02
In their paper the REACH investigators point out that the evidence supporting beta blocker use after MI is now quite old, with most of the trials having been performed prior to the widespread use of modern reperfusion strategies and medical therapy. The presumed "cardioprotective" effect of beta blockers in patients without MI did not have an evidence base and was an extrapolation from heart failure trials and older post-MI trials. On the other hand, they note, there is evidence to support the use of beta blockers in acute MI patients without shock or heart block.
Although the finding may be surprising to some clinicians, the results are consistent with recent guidelines, the authors note. In the AHA secondary prevention guidelines beta-blockers receive a class 1 recommendation for heart failure, MI, or ACS for up to 3 years after MI but only a IIa recommendation for longer-term therapy. For other patients beta blockers receive a class IIb recommendation.
Here is the press release from JAMA:
Beta-Blocker Use Not Associated With Lower Risk of Cardiovascular EventsCHICAGO – Among patients with either coronary artery disease (CAD) risk factors only, known prior heart attack, or known CAD without heart attack, the use of beta-blockers was not associated with a lower risk of a composite of cardiovascular events that included cardiovascular death, nonfatal heart attack or nonfatal stroke, according to a study in the October 3 issue of JAMA."Treatment with beta-blockers remains the standard of care for patients with coronary artery disease, especially when they have had a myocardial infarction [MI; heart attack]. The evidence is derived from relatively old post-MI studies, most of which antedate modern reperfusion or medical therapy, and from heart failure trials, but has been widely extrapolated to patients with CAD and even to patients at high risk for but without established CAD. It is not known if these extrapolations are justified. Moreover, the long-term efficacy of these agents in patients treated with contemporary medical therapies is not known, even in patients with prior MI," according to background information in the article.Sripal Bangalore, M.D., M.H.A., of the NYU School of Medicine, New York, and colleagues conducted a study to evaluate the association between beta-blocker use and long-term cardiovascular outcomes. The observational study included data from patients in the Reduction of Atherothrombosis for Continued Health (REACH) registry. From this registry, 44,708 patients met the study inclusion criteria of whom 14,043 patients (31 percent) had prior MI, 12,012 patients (27 percent) had documented CAD but without MI, and 18,653 patients (42 percent) had CAD risk factors only. The last follow-up data collection was April 2009. The primary outcome for this study was a composite of cardiovascular death, nonfatal MI, or nonfatal stroke. The secondary outcome was the primary outcome plus hospitalization for atherothrombotic events or a revascularization procedure. The overall median (midpoint) follow-up was 44 months. Among the 44,708 patients in the study, 21,860 were included in the propensity score-matched analysis.
The researchers found that in the prior MI group, the event rates were not significantly different among those with beta-blocker use (489 [16.93 percent]) vs. those without beta-blocker use (532 [18.60 percent]) for the primary outcome, or the secondary outcome (30.96 percent vs. 33.12 percent, respectively). In the CAD without MI cohort, the event rates were not different in those with beta-blocker use (391 [12.94 percent]) vs. those without p-blocker use (405 [13.55 percent]) for the primary outcome, for cardiovascular death, for stroke, and for MI. The event rates were higher in those with beta-blocker use (1,101 [30.59 percent] vs. those without beta-blocker use (1,002 [27.84 percent]) for the secondary outcome and for hospitalization in the propensity score-matched model.
In the risk factors alone group, the event rates were higher in those with beta-blocker use (467 [14.22 percent] vs. those without beta-blocker use (403 [12.11 percent]) for the primary outcome, for the secondary outcome (870 [22.01 percent] vs. 797 [20.17 percent], respectively) but not for MI or stroke. In the propensity score-matched model, there were similar event rates for cardiovascular death and for hospitalization.The researchers also found that among patients with recent MI (one year or less), beta-blocker use was associated with a lower incidence of the secondary outcome."Among patients enrolled in the international REACH registry, beta-blocker use was not associated with a lower event rate of cardiovascular events at 44-month follow-up, even among patients with prior history of MI. Further research is warranted to identify subgroups that benefit from beta-blocker therapy and the optimal duration of beta-blocker therapy," the authors conclude.( JAMA. 2012;308[13]:1340-1349)

When speaking of the history of dresses, we must not forget to mention the little black dress. Originally invented in the 1920's by Chanel, the LBD has since provided women with an uniform that is both universal and sustainable. However, the garments key rise to fame was in 1961 when Audrey Hepburn wore a Givenchy LBD in the film Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Another remarkable moment in the history of dresses was in the 1960's when the sack dress evolved into what is now known as shift dress. Yves Saint Laurent realized that the planarity of the dress was ideal for color blocking and crafted blocks of jersey onto it to replicate an iconic Mondrian design, which led to the desire for printed dresses.
Today, the garment ranges in length, silhouette, and color from a leather dress to a cocktail dress there's a design out there to suit every woman's taste.

White House Dossier
October 1, 2013
The government shutdown that starts today results in temporary pink slips to "nonessential" government workers, begging the obvious question: Are the White House chefs essential?
The Obamas are known to eat quite well, at least in public, where they can be seen frequenting trendy spots around Washington and landing in over-priced restaurants aimed at vacationers when they're in Hawaii and Martha's Vineyard. At home in the White House, a team of chefs plans menus for the Obamas and prepares an endless series of tasty meals.
But the government shutdown presents the terrifying prospect that the Obamas may have to defrost a package of Lean Cuisine or open a can of meat ravioli.
The Obamas have two de facto chief chefs: Cristeta Comerford is a leftoverfrom the Bush years who is formally the White House Executive Chef and whom the Obamas decided not to get rid of; and Sam Kass, who was imported from Chicago by the Obamas and whose title is Executive Director of Let's Move! and Senior Policy Advisor for Nutrition Policy.
Kass came in as Comerford's "assistant," but with his current involvement in the first lady's food projects, it's not known how often he still whips up a meal. Nevertheless, it's not clear if the Senior Policy advisor for Nutrition Policy is essential. But Kass is also a frequent golf partner of the president's, which may increase his "essentialness."
Also present on the grounds is an Executive Pastry Chef, who is exclusively in charge of dessert, and perhaps a lobster pot pie or two.

Planescape: Torment
KCar says: The mother of all childhood regrets, the great game that somehow got lost in the shuffle. Never finishing this one was a thorn in my side for a decade - until GOG re-released it. My life is better now - the air just tastes more sweet.
Broken Sword: Director's Cut
KCar says: The game that always sat just outside of my reach: once it was beyond my hardware specs, then it was off the shelves, seemingly forever. A hole in my childhood has now been filled.
Real Myst
KCar says: I owned the original for years, but the crippled family 486 would not allow me to play it; animations were crippled, so while I could see the static photos, the little touches that gave the game life were denied me. Real Myst makes this gem shine.
Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers
KCar says: Does anyone remember Sound Card conflicts? I could made it up to the final area of this game, but it would crash reliably when I attempted to enter it. It took over 10 years for me to get closure. Worth it? Perhaps. Those tears are a part of me now.
Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

Never really owned a decent watch and I remember why now... Was really looking into getting a Tissot Tradition (which I believe is 42mm) but my wrists are so G DAMN tiny! I'm STILL thinking about it, though.
Questions for you seasoned vets:
If I were to get a watch with a leather band, where can I take it to get the dual clasps so I don't wear out the leather strap? And how much would a modification like that run me?
Buy a deployant clasp (many retail sources online) and fit it yourself. Be sure to buy the right width for the buckle end of the strap.

For the past three burrito years I've tried to do a Christmas-themed post, be it energy-related Christmas gifts, linking the holiday season and energy, or inventing the ultimate commodity Christmas gift. So this year it's time to compare the current landscape of Energyland™ to some of the best holiday movies. Enjoy!
—The Nightmare Before Christmas. This one was easy, given the impending fiscal cliff. This nightmare is set to heighten as the countdown clocks appear to be wrong. The very last day any bill can be introduced to Congress is December 18th (if it follows the rule-book), before it 'is expected' to adjourn on December 21st. This considerably shortens the window of opportunity to resolve this situation. For equities and commodities alike, the threat of a fiscal cliff becoming a reality would truly become a nightmare before Christmas. (spoiler alert: it will be resolved, one way or another…).
—Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer. This inclusion is not for the main character, but for the prospector, Yukon Cornelius, who knows that hard assets such as commodities are the best store of value in the face of fiat currencies. Hence his pursuit of peppermint silver and gold.
—The Bear Who Slept Through Christmas. Yes it's a movie (which of course I found on Wikipedia). Should we see the fiscal cliff resolved, decent data flow, and further concrete progress in the Euro debt crisis (wow, that's a Christmas list and a half…), we could well see the bulls come out to play, and the bears sent into a slumber.
—Scrooge. As for the tale of the miserly protagonist of 'A Christmas Carol', let us consider the US through the ghost of energy past, present, and energy yet to come. The ghost of energy past is a story of the US relying on oil imports to make up over 60% of consumption in 2005. The ghost of energy present shows this number to be dropping to below 40%, while the ghost of energy yet to come sees the US ramping up domestic production to potentially become the largest global oil producer by 2020, pushing it to within grasping distance of energy independence.
—Gremlins. For there are many gremlins in the works for the oil market, in pockets of geopolitical tension in the Middle East and North Africa. They are springing up like leaks in a dam wall, threatening to burst through and flood chaos into the whole region. From Syria to Iran to Egypt to Gaza.
—The Grinch. Wikipedia (the source of all my facts) describes the Grinch as 'an antagonist…with a coarse, greedy attitude'….and I couldn't help but think of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Even as the US has tightened sanctions against Iran in the past week, the Iranian President maintains his defiant attitude, saying that his country is heroically 'riding the wave of sanctions', despite ongoing evidence to the contrary.
—Shrek The Halls. Shrek and donkey are the ultimate sidekicks, and mirror the inseparable relationship between crude and the products. While the scary ogre (oil) is the current leader of the team, it is donkey – representing the products – which is acting like a, err, donkey. Although we see the true relevant US benchmark for oil – Brent crude – at $110, this is not being driven by domestic demand. After all, US gasoline demand is up a mere 0.1% versus last year. Nonetheless, we see retail prices stubbornly and steadfastly high due to oil's global, not domestic, demand growth.
Despite all the serious overtures above, please have a happy holiday period, and remember….its'a wonderful life.

At the beginning of the play Macbeth meets the witches. Their prophecy to Macbeth is that he will be Thane of Cawdor, Thane of Glams, and King. These prophesies put the idea of greatness into Macbeth's mind. The witches introduce the idea of fate into the play.

American breasts are getting bigger while shirts are getting smaller
From the beach to the mall to the office, women seem to be showing off their cleavage more than ever before. Why? According to Elisabeth Squires, author of "Boobs: A Guide to Your Girls," American breasts are getting bigger while shirts are getting smaller.
"We are seeing more cleavage these days for a few reasons. First, the fashion of the day is tight and skinny. At the same time, women are bigger than they were even 15 years ago. Bra fitters tell me that an E cup is the new C cup," Squires said on "Good Morning America."

A Staples employee was standing outside the store when the suspects began yelling gang slogans and challenging him to fight. He started to walk into the store when they attacked him with their fists. » Article here

Manly stuff that is no longer manly.
Once the symbol of nonconformity in a hopelessly conservative political landscape, the tattoo has now become the exact opposite – total conformity posing as nonconformity.
There was a time when a man could get a bull ring pierced into his septum and get a little respect.
Stabbing people
In the good old days, one guy would get into an argument with another guy, the words would turn into fists, and the fists would turn into a few inches of cold steel getting mercilessly plunged into the eye socket of the weaker guy.
Like the tattoo, the motorcycle used to be a counterculture icon – thanks to Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda (two actors who have also lost a significant amount of manliness), the motorcycle was a symbol of freedom, independence, and rebellion.
Enough said.
Whether you like it or not, gone are the days of roses, hastily scrawled love poems, and sweet serenades crooned lovingly outside a fair maiden's window.

Cop shoots his own daughter, mistakes her for intruder
An off-duty police officer shot and critically wounded his 18-year-old daughter, apparently mistaking her for an intruder after she sneaked out of their home and re-entered through the basement.
Eric Scott, 41, was under the impression his daughter had gone to bed for the night," Stratford Capt. Thomas Rodia said. "He did not expect his daughter to be outside or down in the basement."
Investigators said Tasha Scott left her home late Monday to meet a boyfriend. She triggered a backyard motion sensor light as she tried to enter through a basement door. Awakened by the light, Eric Scott spotted someone moving in the basement bathroom, police said. He fired his department-issued pistol once, hitting the teen in the knee. The bullet traveled up her leg and lodged in her thigh area, police said. The teenager underwent surgery and was listed in critical but stable condition Wednesday morning. Full article here.

ADRIAN - Siena Heights University and Blissfield Community Schools have finalized a partnership that provides scholarships for high school students to attend the university.
Under the agreement, which was completed Monday, Blissfield students who meet Siena's admissions criteria will receive a guaranteed minimum of $5,000 in financial aid.
Blissfield graduates also are eligible for designated scholarships that range from $6,000 to $10,000.
During the course of the partnership, which lasts until Sept. 1, 2012, the university will make a financial commitment of $122,5000 for each entering class. Faculty and staff at both the university and Blissfield school district also will benefit from increased collaboration, officials said.
BLUFFTON, Ohio - An English professor at Bluffton University has been awarded a Fulbright Scholar grant to teach in Austria.
Jeffrey G. Gundy will teach three courses in the American studies department at the University of Salzburg.
The courses include graduate and undergraduate literature seminars and an introductory North American civilization class.
Mr. Gundy is one of about 800 U.S. faculty and professionals who will travel abroad through the Fulbright program, which promotes understanding between people in the United States and other countries.
ELMORE - Library patrons in Elmore will once again have the opportunity beginning Monday to pay their library fines with canned goods.
The Harris-Elmore Public Library's annual "Food for Fines" campaign allows patrons to donate canned goods in lieu of paying overdue fines, library Director Georgiana Huizenga said.
This year, the food items collected until Jan. 1 will be split between the Ottawa County Holiday Bureau and the Elmore Area Food Pantry.
Mrs. Huizenga said the annual charitable program is more than 15 years old and has become a place for those even without library fines to give to the needy during the holidays.
"I filled a minivan with bags full of food last year," Mrs. Huizenga said. "For a small community, I think that's pretty good."
For the second holiday season, Mobile Meals of Toledo will deliver food both to its clients and their pets.
The agency hopes to expand the program beyond the 50 people served last year.
"Sometimes our meal clients face financial difficulties during the holiday season, and now we can continue to help them with food for their pets," Carolyn Fox, associate executive director of Mobile Meals, said. "Oftentimes, their cat or dog is their best friend and steadfast companion."
The agency this summer received a $500 grant from the Meals on Wheels Association of America to continue the holiday pet program.
Through a partnership with Banfield, The Pet Hospital, the agency is seeking donations of cash and pet food, which may be made at the Banfield locations in PetSmart stores.
Mobile Meals delivers food to the elderly and people who are homebound or who have disabilities.
Sewer construction will close McCord Road just south of Dorr Street in Springfield Township for four weeks, starting Monday, the Lucas County Engineer's Office announced.
During the work, McCord traffic will be detoured via Holland-Sylvania Road between Dorr and Hill Avenue.
Access to driveways on McCord south of Dorr will be from Hill.

For many people trying to pre-order the new iPhone 4 through Apple's website, the experience was a mess, with either the Apple or AT&T system preventing them from completing the reservation. Nonetheless, Apple was able to announce today that more than 600,000 new iPhones were ordered, the largest single day of business for Apple, according to their website statement.
The company also apologized for the problems their customers encountered trying to complete the transaction.
My own experiences were that the Apple website was often slow and unresponsive, but things did not really bog down until the system tried to interface with AT&T, then it timed out. In the end, I was not able to come close to completing a transaction (no matter, I was not thinking of actually ordering one yesterday anyway).
Today AT&T announced that it was suspending pre-orders of the iPhone 4 so it could full those orders currently in the system. While the phone is scheduled to be released on June 24, those ordering the phone now through Apple are receiving a July 2 date, according to Engadget.
Update: the delivery date for those now ordering new iPhones has moved back to July 14, according to the WSJ.

$1.8-million campaign will revitalize U of T's culture and technology program and build on McLuhan's legacy
The University of Toronto has recently launched a $1.8-million fundraising campaign to renovate the storied coach house and to revitalize the McLuhan Program in Culture and Technology. "It's a very small building but a historic one, and any renovation has to take care of its heritage," says Seamus Ross, dean of the Faculty of Information, which oversees the program. "We want to draw students back into the space, to bring it alive again."
To that end, this fall the university is reintroducing the wide-ranging Monday night seminars that were a fixture in McLuhan's day. "There was a speaker, a moderator and a commentator on each topic – a framework that we're working with," Ross says. The coach house will also serve as a key venue in the event U of T has scheduled for November to consider McLuhan's work and legacy, titled "McLuhan 100: Then, Now, Next – International Conference and DEW Line Festival."
Throughout the fall, the Faculty of Information will also be looking into offering a new concentration in culture and technology as part of its master of information degree. "The university has a rich legacy in communications and media [and hopes to build] on the scholarship of Harold Innis and McLuhan," Ross says. He believes the program will be distinct from offerings in the same field at other universities by focusing less on communication technologies per se, and more on how these technologies are reshaping our culture and being reshaped by it.
To make the coach house a more suitable venue for classes about media and technology, it will be equipped with virtual conferencing capacities, enabling people to participate in seminars from anywhere in the world. Multimedia arts installations are also part of an ongoing plan to reanimate the space. As part of last year's Scotiabank Contact Photography Festival, David Rokeby and Lewis Kaye displayed video of McLuhan through a ground-floor window of the coach house that was visible and audible to passers-by. And for this year's Contact, photographer Robert Bean lined its walls with McLuhan-themed pictures. "The first one drew people to the outside of the building, the next one drew them in," says Ross. "We want the coach house to become a global nerve centre for discussions around communication and digital media. Just as it was in McLuhan's day."

Wow, what a brilliant marketing idea... NOT! Jesus, what is the world coming to?! On second thoughts, let's not venture down there...
Thread: New fragranced laptops? |
No joke. Asus is putting out a line of laptops with 4 different designs that all have a matching scent to them.
I am kinda scared. I can imagine it now: Some idiot sits down next to me with her laptop. She begins typing with the aggression of a murderous bear. I get annoyed by this. Her fragrance hits my nostrils, and it is overwhelming. I then realize the fragrance is not on her, but it is actually coming from her laptop. "Um... excuse me. Did you spray your laptop with perfume?!" I ask. "No, it comes like that! It is the 'Floral Blossom' one! Isn't it just awesome?"
More information can be found in the article here, which also contains a link to the manufacturer website:
A new dimension for scent-layering!!!
How about a USB plug-in perfume thing for the rest of us. I could counter that "Summer Breeze" Asus with my "Yatagan" MacBook..
i don't care for the idea... it would make libraries unbearable
I don't think that the scents of these laptops would smell all that good anyway... probably about as good as cologne you could buy at Dollar Tree (or the steaming pile of crap that is Windows Vista, which these things run). Still, I'd love to see Chandler Burr review these...
No matter what, I'd rather see the "designers" of designer fragrances such as Giorgio Armani or Marc Jacobs design the cases of the lappies themselves. Case in point: Have you seen the industrial design of the latest Dell or HP laptops? UGLY! But if Thierry Mugler designed that new HP Pavilion dv5t instead of HP's own industrial designers who put on too much rounded edges for all that shiny fake chrome and black plastic, it might have looked much nicer.

"The stench / The stench / Of summer sex / And CK Eternity, oh hell yes"
-Fall Out Boy, "Uma Thurman"
It'll smell just like Odeur 71 with notes of dust on a hot light bulb, photocopier toner, hot metal, fountain pen ink and the salty taste of a battery.
Say whatever you want, but there is nothing like the smell of a printed circuit board.
Of course, that is the junkie Electrical Engineering talking under the influence of hallucinating gases given off by his new computer.
The smell of a new book is good too.
I would love a cologne that smelled like circuit boards (not burning ones), trichloroethane (solder flux remover--it's sweet and ethereal) and solder rosin (pine resinous). I'm not joking--I'd wear it. A gourmand for robots! (OK, now I'm joking)
Just no more hot metal notes, please. I hate that (seemingly popular) accord in mens' frags.
Back on topic: Scented laptops: what an asinine concept. I could see this coming out of Sanrio (a Hello Kitty iBook that smells like synthetic fruit bubblegum), but from quality motherboard maker Asus? Ludicrous and disappointing. I'll bet they'll all smell about as wonderful as those tree-shaped car air fresheners.
I dunno....
Doing homework (as I am now a senior in high school) sucks major donkey butt... I might be put into a different mood with my k-pop playing and a nice, calming scent wafting up from my workstation =D.
Other than that, I find the concept of integrating laptops and scents rather absurd and funny. Soon we'll have scented TV's and couches for those who enjoy Sundays sitting on the couch watching TV =).

What's the point of living if a person cannot achieve success?
Zhou MR
I used to have high hopes for myself, especially when someone told me that the simian lines I have on both my palms signify that I will be very successful at anything I put my heart into. I've yet to see that success. All I see now is just a blueprint for failure, so I'm really starting to doubt...

Now in his second marriage to his gorgeous young wife, Gloria, Jay has been given something of a second chance. Still, old habits are hard to break, and it's trial by fire as he tries to adapt to life with the same passion and vigor that Gloria exhibits, which are matched by her precocious 12-year-old son, Manny. There are some culture clashes, a few misunderstandings, but also plenty of sweet victories along the way. Jay's grown daughter, Claire, and her husband, Phil, are the proud parents of three kids with whom they want that open, healthy, honest relationship. It's not always easy, especially when you have Haley, a teenage daughter who's growing up a little fast, Alex, a too-smart-for-her-own-good middle daughter and Luke, a scatterbrained boy. Add to this that Phil is just a big kid himself, even if he does always have the best intentions. Claire is the anchor, trying her best to run a tight ship and determined not to let her kids have the rebellious childhood she had. Claire's brother and Jay's grown son, Mitchell, is busy raising an adopted daughter, Lily, with his long term partner, Cameron. Opposites attract in this household, with Cameron having a wonderfully big personality and maybe a flare for the dramatic, while Mitchell is more buttoned-down. They balance each other out, and these doting fathers are relishing their roles as parents developing their own little family.? MORE INFO ?

Now listen to the story 'bout a family named Duke. Such a bunch of inbred redneck hicks they nearly made me puke. If it wasn't for cousin Daisy flashing us some cheek I can't imagine anyone would tune in every week. Ratings that is. Nielson style.
Oh, but I could go on. Step back into the 80's. William Shatner is overacting his way through TJ Hooker, his future of self-parodying Priceline.com ads but a distant vision. My sister wore a pair of Jordache jeans so tight she broke her tailbone sitting down (a pretty common 80's injury for those too young to remember). And the Dukes of Hazzard is at the top of the charts. I admit it - I watched it too. I was about 14 years old and Heather Locklear as Stacy Sheridan didn't go undercover as a prostitute nearly often enough on Hooker to satisfy my sinister urges. So there was the Dukes of Hazzard with Catherine Bach as cousin Daisy, wearing short shorts a friend of mine once referred to as "barely street legal", and with her came Bo, Luke, and the General Lee. Of the four of them, I understand the car got the most fan mail.
And here it is, like 20 years later, and someone at Ubi Soft/Southpeak decided it was time for a Dukes of Hazzard driving game. On the surface, it's not a bad idea. The sort of nostalgic fun gripping a vast swath of my generation, coupled with two fairly recent Dukes reunion movies, would seem to open the door for such a project. Drive the General Lee, evade Roscoe and Enos (and to a lesser extent Clitus and that guy who played one of the Darrens on Bewitched), thwart Boss Hogg (played elegantly by Sorrell Booke, who graduated from my alma mater) and rescue Daisy. But the truth, as they say, is in the pudding. I have no idea who they are, or what they mean when they say that, but suffice to say the game is just absolutely retched. I'm not even sure I have enough bad words in my vocabulary to cover it. I really deserve some kind of medal just for playing it. It is a roiling dung heap of rotting OK. Maintain objectivity. It's the mark of a true professional.
What's wrong with the game? Even at the highest graphics resolution (1280 x 1024), the game looks bad. Easily on par with NFS2 - for all I know it uses the same engine. Scenery is blocky and pixilated; cars are polygonal and carelessly drawn. Graphical flaws abound with clipping and tearing. If you try and drive off the road into the woods, you hit a wall - clearly the trees are just painted on the walls of the course like Wile E. Coyote painting a roadway onto a boulder, and not even as believably done. Ubi Soft/Southpeak fared little better in the sound department. The Dixie horn of the General Lee is nearly perfect, but otherwise there is very little sound to even talk about. Driving down the road at nearly 100 miles an hour with Roscoe in pursuit, I heard only a small rumble of the General's engine and Roscoe's sirens. No wind noise, no birds, no running water near rivers, no cows, and only the occasional squeal of tires.
The physics engine is the worst I've ever seen with unpredictable rolling, skidding, and resultant collision velocity vectors. The driving damage model is pathetic, as cars only lose a little bit of speed and no maneuverability with increasing damage. They also graphically show no damage from collisions short of a little smoke, and if it weren't for an image of your car in the corner taking damage (from green to yellow to red), you would hardly know you were damaged at all. The enemy AI is atrocious. Roscoe and Enos couldn't drive in the series, but the game is ridiculous. They crash into each other and other vehicles and the scenery. Having them chase you is hardly a challenge. Other enemies are only marginally better. You drive other vehicles occasionally such as Daisy's jeep and Cooter's tow truck, and they do drive differently. The tow truck is slow and unresponsive, and the jeep is a little faster than the truck and slower than the General; more responsive than the truck and less responsive than the General. Wheeee.
The game consists of 26 absolutely linear missions. 75% of them are either get to this spot in a certain amount of time or get to that spot in a certain amount of time while evading Roscoe/Enos/Bad Guy. Luke leans out the window with his bow to let some dynamite fly in the last two missions only. Just as well, he looks ridiculous and polygonal doing it, and if you try and squish him against some object in the scenery he pops back in the window like magic, or doesn't bother and just overlaps with the scenery graphic. Both alternatives are laughably bad. There are some uninteresting power ups scattered along the courses (nitro, oil slick, repair, etc) that serve not a whit to relieve the boredom. In every single way, this game isn't 1/100th as fun as Driver.
Pluses? Well, there are a couple. The cutscenes are pretty amazing. To prepare for writing this review I sat down and watched a taped episode of the Dukes entitled "Roscoe's Diary" in which Roscoe loses his diary and, well, never mind. Plot was never the Dukes strong point. In summary, the general jumps over a truck and a ravine, and Daisy's short shorts are white - at least that's all I took away from the episode. The opening credit sequence to the TV show and the game are almost identical which indicates, to me at least, that someone at Ubi Soft/Southpeak has watched it a lot of times. I mean really watched it. Lots and lots of times. Really, really watched it. With the devotion of a mental patient studying belly button lint. The people look a little cadaverous perhaps, and Daisy has been, ahem, enhanced with Pamela Anderson Lee's leftover parts, but the cutscenes have such realistic body motion and mannerisms, that you can fool yourself into believing you are looking at some kind of oddly digitized footage from the series. Voice acting, some provided by surviving cast members from the series, is pretty well done also. They oddly didn't use the series theme song - maybe Waylan Jenning's price was too high.
Another plus? Well, like my dentist told me when he got a new, high-speed drill - "It hurts like a bitch, but at least it's over fast." The average mission takes about 3 minutes, followed by a few minutes of cutscene. Including watching the episode on tape (no commercials), I was done with the game and the review in less than 4 hours. Replayability - zero. Welcome to the discount rack, contents: Dukes.

As one who used to be on the outside looking in, I realize that the life of a game reviewer looks pretty glamorous. I get to play all the newest games, I get to schmooze with some of the great game players and makers in the country, and oh the groupies - they all look like the lesbian love-children of Angelina Jolie and Lara Croft. But there are downsides. Great, bleak, cesspool-ridden downsides with festering pustules of maggot infested well, I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me start with the review of The Dukes of Hazzard - Racing for Home. The festering pustules will become obvious all on their own. But first, a song (inexplicably sung to the theme from the Beverly Hillbillies):

Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford | Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day | Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made | Five Bruins Prospects in 2017 World Junior Championship |
Welcome back to Sports of Boston's weekly recap of all things Spring Training for your Boston Red Sox. Without further ado, let's get right to it:
Monday was another case of the split-squad blues for your Boston Red Sox. Half the squad took on the Tampa Bay Rays, while the other half took on the St. Louis Cardinals. Neither game went the Red Sox way, as they fell to Tampa, 11-9, and St. Louis, 13-8. The good news is that offense, the big question of this preseason, was not a problem for either of squad. Against St. Louis, they banged out 13 hits. They were actually winning this game going into the bottom of the eighth, when St. Louis scored seven runs against Ramon A. Ramirez and T.J. Large. The Sox could not come back from that with a mere three outs to work with, and fell. Offensive heroes of the game included Jeremy Hermida and Tug Hulett, who both had two- hit games with RBIs.
Against Tampa Bay, starter Boof Bonser continued to struggle through this Spring Training. He gave up five runs in just two innings of work. Overall, the Rays homered a whopping seven times off of Red Sox pitching. The Red Sox responded with 15 hits, but they could not get the scoring going until the seventh inning, at which point they were too far behind to come back. The only player of note offensively was Mike Cameron, who went 2-3 and is batting over .400 this preseason.
Tuesday saw the Red Sox continue their battle for the Mayor's Cup against the Minnesota Twins. Unfortunately, this game went the Twins' way, as they beat the Red Sox, 7-2. Clay Buchholz continued to struggle this preseason, giving up five earned runs in less than two innings of work. Offensively, there were no notable performances. The Sox did not even get on the scoreboard until the eighth inning, scoring single runs then and in the ninth. Against a poor starting pitching performance, that'll never be enough to get it done.
The Sox will have to make a decision soon about whether or not to bring Buchholz to the majors for an extended period this year. At this point, he does not look ready to pitch in the majors, but he'll never be ready unless management brings him up. His greatest value may be as trade bait to get a more established player. Let another team suffer the inevitable losses that his maturation into a major league pitcher will require.
On Wednesday, the Red Sox faced off against the Pittsburgh Pirates. A combination of home runs and a strong starting pitching performance from Josh Beckett made a winning combination today, as the Red Sox beat the Pirates, 6-4. Beckett went five strong innings, allowing just one earned run while striking out nine. Beckett is finally looking like the pitcher we're hoping for this season, it's just a question of whether he'll be able to pitch like this game in and game out. It's an even-year season (2010), so the trend suggests he will not be able to (statistically, Beckett has been much stronger for the Sox during seasons that end in odd numbers). Offensively, there were home runs by Mike Cameron, Victor Martinez, and Bill Hall. It is also worth noting that while Josh Reddick only went 1-4, he is batting .400 for the preseason. Overall, this was a great way for the Sox to get back on the winning track. Good pitching and timely hitting will always make for a winning combination.
Thursday featured a battle between the Red Sox and the Florida Marlins. Continuing the trend of the previous game, the Sox got a good starting pitching performance which they combined with timely hitting from its stars. Tim Wakefield gave the Red Sox a quality start, going six innings while only giving up three earned runs. He is 3-1 this preseason with an ERA of 3.66. Frankly, he has earned a position in the starting rotation for the Red Sox, especially considering the inconsistency of SEVERAL of the other Red Sox starters. Offensively, Boston banged out twelve more hits. Offense has not turned out to be the problem everyone thought it was going to be. Multiple players had multiple hit games, including Jeremy Hermida (2-2 with an RBI) and Kevin Youkilis (2-4). All of this translated into a nifty 6-4 victory for the Red Sox. It is nice to see the Sox continuing to build momentum heading into the regular season. So far, most of the starters have answered the challenge of stretching themselves out and going deeper into games.
Friday saw a split squad take on the Toronto Blue Jays. Despite zero earned runs allowed by Boston pitching, the Red Sox found themselves down 2-0 going into the bottom of the ninth. However, timely hitting allowed the Red Sox to beat the Blue Jays, 3-2. The bottom of the ninth saw RBI singles from David Ortiz, Dusty Brown, and the game winner from Tug Hulett. The Red Sox are getting excellent production from bench players these days, and it should translate into pinch-hitting opportunities for players like Hulett, Reddick, and Hermida. If they keep up this kind of production, they will be very useful in those situations.
Saturday featured a matchup against the Baltimore Orioles. Unfortunately, Boston's hitting was completely flustered by strong Baltimore pitching and lost, 6-1. They could not even get on the scoreboard until the ninth inning, where they got an RBI from Tug Hulett (who else?). In terms of pitching, John Lackey looked very strong. He allowed just two earned runs in six innings of work. He did a good job keeping the Red Sox in the game, but unfortunately Alan Embree, making his 2010 debut, allowed an additional three earned runs to score.
Currently, Embree's ERA is over 40.00. He seems to be past his prime, and may be more of a liability than an advantage for Boston at this point. He should probably start in the minor leagues, as he probably can no longer handle the power of major league bats.
The Red Sox wrapped things up Sunday with a dominating performance against the Minnesota Twins, winning 11-5. Clay Buchholz looked only alright in his starting role, getting into the fifth inning while allowing four earned runs. The big story of the day was the offensive explosion of the Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox belted out 16 hits, including three-run home runs from both David Ortiz and Tug Hulett. Dustin Pedroia, showing no ill effects from his wrist injury, went 3-4. Victor Martinez went 4-5, and Kevin Youkilis went 4-4. Boston's victory on Sunday wrapped up the "coveted" Mayor's Cup, as the Red Sox won the preseason series against Minnesota.
On paper, the Red Sox had just a so-so week. They remain a .500 ball club. But even in the losses, there is much to look at and get excited about. John Lackey, Josh Beckett, and Tim Wakefield are all looking ready for the season at the beginning. The bench should feature some nifty hitters in Tug Hulett and Josh Reddick. And how about that offense? Even when they lose, the Red Sox are proving they can hit the ball both with power and for average. The question of whether or not they can score runs is quickly being answered. And if the relief staff can hold onto leads and keep opponent scoring to a minimum (the one negative trend we've been seeing this preseason), the bats should come alive more times than not and bring the Sox victory. As we prepare for the regular season at the end of next week, we look at the Red Sox and see a team that's getting more and more complete with each game.

Thousands take to streets in Bahrain to protest for democracy (PHOTOS)
The protesters marched west of the capital on Friday, protesting
against the stringent new laws that prohibit public dissent.
This, however, was a sanctioned march and no trouble or scuffles
with police were seen this time around.
"Down with Hamad", the crowd chanted as it walked with
national red-and-white flags and banners that called for King
Hamad bin Isaa al-Khalifa and Prime Minister Sheikh Khalifa bin
Salman al-Khalifa to go.
King Hamad has been in power since 1999.
One protester, a 38-year-old secretary, Hayat al-Abbar, told
Reuters that "we are here…because we want freedom. We are used
to oppression and tear gas and beatings," he said, as others
walked shouting that they "will never forget those who
sacrificed their lives."
Tens of thousands participated in the opposition's protest for #democracy today and which ended peacefully #Bahrainpic.twitter.com/GJTHzN5Gmg
— AlwefaqEN (@AlWefaqEN) August 23, 2013
Another protester, 51-year-old engineer, Abdelghani al-Mazoug, was quoted as saying "Where are the jobs? … We will not bow to anyone but God. We are not scared of anyone and I'm ready to for my country."
The protests had been organized by the Tamarod Bahrain campaign, which features several opposition groups and has adopted the name of Egypt's Tamarod movement, which shouldered the task of organizing protests against former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi.
The rally had gone off without incidents, unlike the previous
event on August 14, which marked two-and-a-half years since the
unsuccessful uprising and the 42nd anniversary of the Kingdom's
independence from Great Britain. On that occasion the police used
tear-gas and birdshot.
thats how peaceful is the protest & protesters in #bahrain VS brutal official terrorism pic.twitter.com/M0iCAsoLQ1
— FREE NABEEL RAJAB (@majedtareef) August 23, 2013
Two-and-a-half years have gone by since Bahrain's own February 2011 Spring, when a Shiite-led uprising against the Sunni al-Khalifa dynasty resulted in security forces crushing the revolt and killing at least 35 people in the process. Sporadic unrest has been going on since.
In July Bahrain's parliament passed strict new laws to curb opposition activities, including banning protests in the capital and giving authorities the right to strip citizenship from those convicted of violence.
What the Bahraini opposition demands is a constitutional monarchy
with a democratically-elected parliament picking the government.
They also highlight widespread discrimination by the minority
Sunni regime in areas like employment and public services. The
government denies any wrongdoing.
Clashes have calmed down in recent months after the ruling family introduced some reforms – including giving the elected parliament more overseeing powers and promising deeper investigations into alleged abuses by security forces. Many Shiites have dismissed the reforms as window dressing, however, saying that the monarchy is still in control of all key decision-making.
Bahrain sits in the midst of a battle for Gulf influence between neighboring Shiite Iran and a Sunni Saudi Arabia. The country is home to the US Navy's 5th Fleet, as well as being the Pentagon's main base to counter Iran's expanding military presence in the Gulf and protect oil shipping lanes through the Gulf of Hormuz.

Welcome to ehealthforum.
Changes in vaginal discharge in term of quantity and consistency can vary with hormonal status and sexual stimulation/thoughts. If the discharge is associated with change in color, smell, consistency, associated with itching, burning, rashes etc, then it would suggest possibility of infection. You will need to visit your gynecologist/healthcare provider and request for examination and vaginal smear/swab test to identify the causative agent and get started on treatment. If you are sexually active, get your partner also treated simultaneously to prevent chances of re-infection.
Take care.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources

- - What is Coming Out of Our Snail??
What is Coming Out of Our Snail?? Ok, these are not eggs. We have a snail in each tank, but this is the only tank that has this. I saw it coming out of the snail, somehow. (I'm not up on my snail anatomy) These are not eggs. The only thing I can think of is this snail is eating the driftwood and this is snail poop full of driftwood? I vacuum it out of the tank and it's back in 2 days or so, and it seems to appear only where the snail goes. PS: Whatever this is it is NOT alive! http://www.fishforum.com/userpix/850...0_Medium_1.jpg |
I'm stumped...likely poop...but that's an awful lot of it... :shock: |
For what it's worth, he's a big snail. But OH MY GOD! There is so much of this, I have no idea what the heck it is. I vacuum it up and it's back a few days later. It's in the substrate of the area that the snail always is, in the terracotta pot that the snail hangs out in, and on the plants that the snail goes on. It's got to be from him, but what is it??? |
What kind of snail do you have? They're big poopers, almonst on par with goldfish. Eat, sleep and poop is their motto. |
I don't know, so I guess it's a mystery snail. But it is BIG. Do they eat driftwood? That is when I noticed the brown dot things. I thought it was from our African Dwarf frog(s), but they died (that is also a huge mystery to me). :( |
I don't know if it's the driftwood they eat, so much as something growing on it that you can't see. He could be taking tiny little chunks out of the soft wood with his rasps and not actually eating them. |
Well it looks like the standard snail poo but you are right, holly poop machines! You also big as in how big? I think, well with what I have read that mystery snails only get about the size of a golfball. Is this one bigger than that? Another possibility is that like most fish, it is emptying its' "GUT" in order to make room for eggs and is getting ready to lay it's eggs. Do you have a picture of this brute? |
I think the Brut may be a girl, so please be proper. LOL I'll try to get a shot of her and post it. She isn't the size of a golf ball, not yet anyway. |
I did have another thought. Maybe the little lady is simply trying to clean out here system from a bad diet from before. I don't know how long you have had her but when I got my Colombian Ramshrons they did the same thing like a month after I got them. Real mess but when I started to feed them the romaine lettuce they really cleaned up and the poop productin dropped to "normal" levels. |
I guess it's possible... I'm giving her bottom feeder pellets, and the algae in the tank, and the driftwood. It's basically the same for all my snails (3 in 3 different tanks) but this one is the largest and this tank is the only one with driftwood. I tried the lettuce thing but it made a mess in the tank! |

Nuclear power, toxic chemicals, electromagnetic radiation: each of these techno-hazards has a universally recognized warning symbol. So why not nanotechnology, invisible to the human eye but more powerful and potentially more dangerous? It used to be that the manipulation of matter at the level of atoms and molecules was the stuff of science fiction. Today, however, there are over 1,000 nanotech companies worldwide, employing the technology to make faster computers; smarter drugs; powerful chemical catalysts (used in petroleum processing) and materials for a wide range of uses. Most governments have not even begun thinking about nano-regulation. Yet invisible nanomaterials are already being used in our food, cosmetics, pesticides and clothing, even though they are not labelled and we do not know what their health and environmental impacts might be. Nano-pollution could have a very serious effect. Nanoparticles may be more reactive and more toxic than larger particles of the same substance. Furthermore, some designer nanomaterials are being developed to replace natural products such as cotton, rubber and metals, threatening to displace the livelihoods of some of the poorest and most vulnerable people in the world. Concerned citizens everywhere are being invited by civil society research organization The ETC Group to submit designs for a universal Nanotechnology Hazard Symbol. The winning entry will be submitted as a proposed symbol to international standard-setting bodies, inter-governmental organisations and national governments. The closing date is 8 January 2007 so get nanodoodling!
