Double Eleven: PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate Out Today on PS4, PS Vita
17w ago
- Double Eleven Limited Chief Operating Officer
Mark South
announced that PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate is out today on PS4 and PS Vita platforms complete with a video trailer below.
To quote: Originally, PixelJunk Shooter and Shooter 2 were made by our friends at Q-Games. As Q-Games are a very tech savvy developer (like us), Shooter was born from gameplay experimentations, using a very clever fluid simulation technology they had written.
As the gameplay evolved, so did the story. Four years after Shooter's first launch, we met the guys at Q-Games and - as fans - started talking about what this edition would be.
We ended up doing a number of cool new things in Shooter Ultimate, and with it launching today it's a good time to give you an idea of what to expect!
Exploration, Action, and Strategy
Ultimate unites PixelJunk Shooter and Shooter 2 into one continuous experience, with a host of enhancements. Take all those things as a given and let's go a little deeper...
What drives all that is a massive physics engine that features a powerful fluid dynamics system. While making your way through the campaign you'll quickly notice that the interplay between states of matter (solids, liquids, and gasses) is key to getting by.
The beginning...

PlayStation Plus: Trine 2, PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate, NBA 2K14 Free
17w ago
- Sony Senior Community Specialist
Kristine Steimer
is here with this weeks PlayStation Plus content updates, which include Trine 2, PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate, and NBA 2K14 free for PS Plus members!
To quote: A rogue, a wizard and a knight are the best of friends (well, they work together at least) in Trine 2: Complete Story.
You'll either play as all three characters, rotating between them as you need their unique abilities, or you can grab a couple friends to take control of the two other heroes. Of course, you might all be too busy drooling at the art to solve any puzzles, but that's okay.
In case you missed it in the PS Plus June Preview, you'll be happy to see that there's another PS4 game free this month. PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate is a combination of the well-loved twin-stick shooter games (PixelJunk Shooter and PixelJunk Shooter 2) that released on PS3.
Not only is the Ultimate version cross-buy, which means Plus members will also get the Vita version, but it includes cross-save and cross-play functionality.
Last, but not least, we've got NBA 2K14 on PlayStation 3 for you - just in time for the NBA Finals. LeBron James stars in the new Path to Greatness Mode, where you can suit up as the reigning NBA champion and develop your own future for him.

PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate Coming to PS4, PS Vita This Summer
30w ago
- Double Eleven Production Team
Richard Snowdon
announced that PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate is coming to PS4 and PS Vita this Summer with details below.
To quote: All of us here at Double Eleven are excited to announce that PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate is coming to PS4 and PS Vita this Summer, and we can finally start to talk about it!
PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate is a twin-stick shooter that's as much about blasting things as it is about exploration, puzzle solving, and collecting things. Within Shooter Ultimate, players interact with environments that run an advanced fluid dynamics simulation. These interactions are needed to solve puzzles, overcome enemies, and progress through levels.
For those who remember the original PixelJunk Shooter games, Ultimate combines the campaigns of Shooter 1 and 2 into a single experience. It certainly doesn't stop there, as we've done a ton of work on top of that to make this the third game in the series!
So here's our list of nine things that hopefully make our PixelJunk Shooter worthy of the title "ultimate."
1. Full Visual Upgrade on PS4
When we were trying to decide what a PS4 version of Shooter should look like, we knew that it needed to remain true to that classic, razorsharp, vector-based aesthetic - which...

TxK Offers a Beginner's Guide to PS Vita's Trippy New Shooter
33w ago
- Llamasoft Founder
Jeff Minter
offers a TxK Beginner's Guide to PS Vita's trippy new shooter below today.
To quote: TxK is an arcade-style shooting game. The basic idea is simple: shoot all the enemies that arrive on each playing surface. When the surface is clear or all enemies arrive at the top, the surface explodes and you transition to the next level.
Use the left analog stick or the d-pad to move the player entity left and right (or clockwise and anticlockwise on connected surfaces). Hold down the x button to shoot. Tap the screen to smart bomb. You get one smart bomb per level. When enabled, press the R shoulder button to jump. Collect Powerups to gain score bonuses and capability upgrades.
I'd recommend starting at level 1 while learning the basics. Starting at this level enables labels on many game elements for the first few levels.
Enemies move quite slowly on early levels. Hold down x and move your ship to shoot them.
Collect Powerups by just moving your ship to intercept them as they move up the surface.
It'll be obvious when you successfully collect one!
If enemies arrive at the top don't panic. Your shots come out of the "leg" of your ship that's in the direction of its motion.
Often if you "walk" slowly towards...

|Formatting Hard Disk
Hard Disk Formatting
A hard disk format method enables to use the space efficiently. Before installing an operating system, you can create a primary partition link on the first physical hard disk (Disk 0) on your computer, and then apply hard disk format operation to create a file system on that partition. This partition is named the "System partition". Alternatively, you can create a separate partition for the operating system on any physical hard disk. This is named the startup partition.
It is recommended to create several partitions on your hard disk. When installing a hard disk drive (commonly called a hard drive) for the first time, attempting to remove errors from your drive, getting rid of a nasty virus, or even cleaning a hard drive because you are selling or donating your computer -- those are just a few of the many reasons why one might consider formatting their hard drive. Format actually means to prepare a storage medium, usually a disk, for reading and writing.
When you format a disk, the operating system erases all bookkeeping information on the disk, tests the disk to make sure all sectors are reliable, marks bad sectors (that is, those that are scratched or otherwise damaged), and creates internal address tables that it later uses to locate information. You must format a disk before you can use it. When you take a disk that has been formatted and run it through the format process again, it is referred to, logically, as reformatting.
The key steps to formatting back it up! Before the format process, you want to make sure that if your goal is hard drive recovery, you back up as much personal data and information from your hard drive as you need. In some instances where a virus has caused serious system damage, this may not be possible, but if your format is planned ahead of time you certainly can copy and archive data off your hard drive before you start the format process.
How to Format If you purchased your computer from systems vendor such as a Dell, HP Compaq or Gateway system, you most likely will have a set-up or a restore-and-recovery CD (also referred to as a master CD) which came with the system. If this is the type of system you use, then a format is an easy process as the master CD will format the hard drive, reinstall your Windows operating system, and install any software and programs which came with the system. If you no longer have your master set-up CD, you should contact the manufacturer to get a replacement.
If you aren't using this type of mass-market system, then a hard drive format will consist of you formatting the hard drive manually, installing your Windows OS from CD, then installing your software programs and hardware drivers. Before you begin the formatting process, it is important to make sure you have your entire driver CDs located, Windows CD and your software CDs to ensure a smooth set-up. It's also important to know about your operating system before you format.
To overwrite the disk would mean to format, then fill the disk completely with data, and format again. The easiest way to do this is to use a software program that will overwrite the disk for you. Most of these programs, which are often referred to as Data Dump software, will meet even the strict deletion requirements of the U.S. military. As an added bonus, a few good data dump programs can be freely downloaded from the Internet.

Gutsy 13-Year-Old Sneaks Out & Drives 700 Miles to See Her Online Boyfriend
A 13-year-old from Texas is likely in MAJOR trouble with her folks today after sneaking out of her bedroom window and taking her older brother's car on a road trip to visit her 12-year-old online boyfriend in Kentucky. Somehow, Elizabeth Annette Robinson made it 700 MILES before she was caught.
A trooper with the Tennessee Highway Patrol stopped her after noticing the car she was driving matched the description included in an Amber Alert which had been issued for her. She was then turned over to Tennessee juvenile authorities. Crazy!
Can you believe this?! No charges will be filed, but no doubt there will still be a lot of finger-pointing in this case, with Robinson's parents likely being accused of being negligent. But I'd beg to differ. I'm not sure there was really anything this girl's parents could have done to prevent this from happening. In fact, they had attempted to ban her from speaking to the boy. That obviously backfired!
Robinson reportedly met her beau online via Xbox and anyone who ever experienced young "love" -- whether it was before or during the Internet age -- knows that emotions run extremely high at that age. If a teen makes up her mind to do something as bold as running away to visit an online boyfriend, she's going to.
I can relate to an extent, having had online boyfriends when I was Robinson's age, but I would have never had the guts to do anything as wild as this teen! But I definitely disobeyed my parents, racking up the dial-up Internet and long-distance phone bills. And yep, I was punished for it. But I wasn't forbade from speaking with my long-distance BFs. My parents trusted me ... and knew overly strict rules are only made to be broken by headstrong teens.
Obviously, Robinson is going to have to suffer the consequences for her actions. But going forward, what might work better than prohibiting her from speaking with her boyfriend might be setting up a chaperoned meeting or scheduling phone/Internet chats. Because if one thing's clear, it's that the 13-year-old has no qualms about doing whatever she must to keeping her relationship afloat -- come hell, high water, or 700 miles of highway driving.
How would you handle this situation if this was your teen?

Sarah.S.September 10, 2012 at 12:35 PMAre you kidding me? So they should reward her outrageous behavior by allowing her to speak to this boy? No way! Not only should she be grounded, she should lose internet privileges and have bars placed on her window.
If that were my child I would also ensure that she was charged with something. She could have killed someone or herself and she STOLE a vehicle!
It would not be pretty when she arrived home, that is for sure.
Little spoiled brat!

Doomy234September 10, 2012 at 12:47 PMShe'd be grounded so hard, she'd think she was living in the 19th century. No internet, no phone, strict curfew, cant visit friends, no tv after a certain time, and she'd be doing every chore imaginable for the next 6 months. I'd make her glad she ever had the privilege to use those things before. I would also be installing an alarm system so she cant be sneaking out again.
The only time she'd be outside is to go to and from school (which I would have her timed on in that travel, if she wasnt getting dropped off or picked up by me) and to mow the lawn. Any errands I had to run she would be attending with me. She'd cherish her freedom when her punishment period was up. But until then, her life would be a living hell.

the4muttsSeptember 10, 2012 at 12:52 PMShe shouldn't be allowed to be chatting on fucking xbox with all these strangers to begin with! What the hell were her parents thinking? There are grown ass men on these games, mostly for normal reasons, but some no-so-normal predatory ones.
What if she had been killed??
Even if they "knew" *which, there's no way to know for sure* that he was a real 12 yr old boy, if she refused to stop talking to him, they should have banned 100% of her technology privelages *most of which she shouldn't have had to begin with*
They raised a kid that would do this, its their fault as much as hers. You *author* said yourself, that even if you rebelled, there's no way you would have done THIS. This isn't normal teenage rebellion. This is a complete disreguard for her parents, her older brother, her safety, and the law.
They raised a disrespectful little jerk, and I hope they learn from this, or that girl will be in even more trouble soon enough.

Holy cow, Maressa, you are such an idiot! If you actually did any research you would know that they family now supsects that said online boyfriend may not be what he pretended to be. Their fears are based on the "alarming" messages he was sending her and their inability to actuallly find where he says he lives. Even the police are concerned. It is beyond outrageous that you would write such drivel.

NatAndCoSeptember 10, 2012 at 2:30 PMGutsy? You call this gutsy? No.... The word you're looking for is "stupid". Perhaps, fucking stupid. Or maybe mind boggling stupid. Or if you don't like stupid, there's irresponsible, idiotic, moronic, or any variation of that could work. "gutsy" could be used if you decide to go bungee jumping, or you get a drastic hair cut, or you stand up to someone, whatever...

audrinasmommy7September 10, 2012 at 5:39 PMMy daughter would be in BIG trouble if she ever did this as a teenager. But then again, I don't think I would raise a daughter that would do this. I'd like to think I would raise my daughter to be respectful, responsible, intelligent and obedient enough not to 1) ever start an online relationship for safety reasons
And 2) know better than to sneak out and steal her brothers car to drive and go meet a stranger. I don't know how her parents raised her but my daughter will know the danger of talking to strangers on the Internet and will know the kind of trouble she'd be in if she ever pulled a stunt like this. There would be no Internet, no tv, phone, iPod, and no getting out of the house except to go to and from school or out with me or her father. & this would continue until she earned all of these things back and realized that these are all priveleges and not rights and that you get these privileges with good behavior.
- --
Pink_LoveOctober 3, 2012 at 1:49 PMIdk how I would handle that one. All I can say is I had a long time internet bf we knew each others every move and we're "together" for 2 years... But I doubt I could have gotten a passport to go from Texas all the way to New Zealand! That was years ago but I will admit, I still think about Karl and his baby brother Luke. Gosh I bet Luke is 12 or 13 by now!

Albany--Albany's city manager made it clear when he came to town last year, he thinks the Albany Civic Center sits empty too often.
Recently, he fired the center director because he said she wasn't doing enough to bring exciting events to town. Well tonight, a lot of excited south Georgians paid to see some of the world's best bull riders.
About three thousand people showed up at tonight's event. And those we talked to say things are looking up for the center.
As some pretty brave cowboys cling for dear life, thousands of intrigued eyes watch in amazement.
"I'm glad to something like this finally coming to the civic center," says Chris Hayes.
"I am so excited because I've never been to a rodeo before," says Brenda Brown.
They're excited all right. Bull riders are tossed and thrown from the giant creatures. For many, good entertainment is long over due.
"I cannot believe the diversity that has come to Albany because a while ago, five years ago, you would never expect this," says Brenda Brown.
"I'm glad to have things come to the area. I'm glad to come out and see things," says Diane Henderson.
And if bull riding isn't your thing, the civic center has more big acts in store for "The Good Life City." "We're seeking out all the entertainment value that we can get in the city. We're bringing in as many events as we can possibly manage," says Roger Burnett, the interim director with the civic center.
And that's good news to bull rider fans. More events, like tonight's, means more money for the city. "It'll bring more people in to stay at the hotels, and more functions, and more people coming and buying things from the city and making it a better place to be," says Diane Henderson.
"It's really good to the community. It's a great facility they're trying to merchandise the town and stuff," says Ed DeLosh.
With more events pouring into Albany, some south Georgians feel that this small city will soon be an entertainment force to be reckoned with. "It's like, oh my God, we've got bull riding, we've got a concert coming, it's like 'yes!'" says Brenda Brown.
Some people we talked to say they want to see more concerts come to the civic center. There is good news. Country legend George Jones will play at the center on March 30 several hip hop acts yet to be announced are also heading to the center soon.
And that's not all. The Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus will come to town March 17th through 19th.

Two Shelves to Share What You Love: One For You, One For Your Partner
Kitchen Inspiration
When Erin (of lifestyle blog Apartment 34) and her husband walked into the San Francisco loft apartment they would eventually call home, the kitchen was the standout feature. It's not hard to understand why when you consider the marble countertops, deep drawers, Viking range, plenty of natural light, and open shelving. But the shelves have an interesting detail about them:
Erin and her husband use them to display a few of their favorite objects, but in a very equitable way: one shelf belongs to Erin, while the other belongs to her husband. In a room that often gets territorial, as home cooks well know, this is a subtle way to share the space. (And keep the peace!)

Even I likemthe open shelve design,,.:)!
I am thinking that the towel is hanging on a dishwasher? Where is the refrigerator? This is a really neat kitchen, but would like to see more. Will check blog?
Have used open shelves in my 30's kitchen as a "temporary" fix until I can afford cabinets. They really work! Easy access and really easy to clean.

How to Furnish New Living Room?
Good Questions
Q: I have a plea for help. We're having a hard time figuring out how to arrange the living room. It's rather small, about 13 x 13 in the main area and has an odd shape. The wall behind the couch is angled out, not sure how visible it is in the picture. The corner of the kitchen juts out, although the doors will be open almost all the time and it adjoins the front door/entryway, so there's a traffic flow issue:
We just moved in so we used the furniture we had until we got a feel for the space. We're trying to avoid having the furniture cling to the walls but the shape and size have us flummoxed. The computer needs to stay, but the desk can change, as can any of the rest of the furniture. Aside from using the computer, we don't really spend much time there so there won't be a TV, but it is the first room in the house so we would like it to look good.

Overhead drawing would be useful to see this confusing space.
I see two solutions.
1. Move the couch to the wall where the desk is now. Put up something large as wall decor. Change the desk for something that blends in with the wall and put it on the wall where the sofa is, but close to the outer edge. The angled wall will help visually separate the desk from the living area.
Define the living area with the sofa and chair as separate from the desk space: perhaps a rug or just pillows in colors so that it looks cohesive.
2. As-is. Change the desk as above. (Ikea has a smart desk for around $300). Define living area as above.
In either case, lose the bookcase, trash can, and other things that don't scream "LIVING ROOM HERE."
Would the desk fit against the kitchen wall (the side next to where the sofa is now, not next to the door)? I can't tell how long that wall is. Or maybe it's hallway? But I think you need to put the chair and sofa closer together (maybe in that corner where the desk is now, and at right angles to each other) and make it more of a seating/conversation area, and put the desk somewhere where it's less visible when you walk in the door. If you did that, I think it would look more like a living room.
You all SO need a landing strip. I'd move the short cubby bookcase or a waist high dresser near the entry door where the boxes still are. Mirror above to make that little square closet area into a proper entry. You could use baskets in the cubby bookcase to hold shoes so they don't pile up by the door.
Since this is going to be a formal space that doubles as an office, how about committing to that with an entire wall of tall book cases along that back wall (possibly encompassing the computer on a deeper shelf that can serve as a desk). You need a focal point and some interest; shelves with books and art would give this room a 'destination'.
I'd save up for a new sofa, maybe one with a mid century feel to play off the white chair. I'd try the sofa floated in the center of the room with the back making a 'hallway' parallel to the kitchen (that will also further define the 'entry' as a seperate space. Chairs pulled out from the angle wall and pointing in the conversation group would not emphasize the odd wall angle (deeper chair where the wall is futher away, shallower one where the wall meets the new book case might work).
I have a LR about that size, with windows, doors, & no real entry. It took me a long time to get the furniture placement.
You do have an entry, which is great. Use it - make your AT Landing Strip w/ a table or shelf for keys, glasses, change, etc. Replace the overhead light with something stunning. Entry rug - I love FLOR carpet tiles.
I'd draw an imaginary wall across the open area to square off the room. That doesn't mean the area near the kitchen & front door is unused. The bookcase might fit near the front door. A small occasional chair to pull up for guests or ottoman might fit in the wastebasket nook. I'd put the couch on either the wall w/windows or it's opposite, but not with the back to the kitchen.
It's hard to imagine the space using the photos. But you can always use chairs or tables to make a corner of the room that doesn't actually exist, as you did w/the white chair (but angle it more). You can use a bench for seating/storage placed against the imaginary wall, because it would maintain low sight lines to see through the space.
Think about how you want to use the space - do you have a TV? What's the computer used for - work, fun? Do you entertain a lot?
Hope this helps you out.
Hi There. I agree with many of the comments above and wanted to add my two cents.
This is the 'gateway' to your home, as you note, I'm focus on keeping it welcoming and uncluttered. Try removing the bookshelf and desk and then only re-introduce the items that really, really make you feel welcomed and relaxed.
An area rug would really help bring unity to this room. Target has 4x6 rugs on sale for $14.99 right now, i'm not kidding.
Also, we've ditched the desk concept and actually have our iMac (identical to yours) on a short cabinet. It's now more like a library terminal, and since we don't spend hours at teh computer while at home, it keeps us on our feet for quick searches or browsing. And minimizes the space (the cabinet doubles for storage) Desks are kind of out moded, I think. Maybe instead of the bookshelf, create a bookshelf high on one wall, preferably the back wall, to draw the eye in and up. More like an installation plaing with the colors and shapes of the books rather than as a utilitarian thing. I love books and think they're great to have around, but they do create clutter very easily if not monitored heavily (haha).
And I agree, a landing strip is a must...maybe that's where you could put the computer too?
since the landlords won't remove the obviously unnecessary wall between the entry and the kitchen, i propose some of these options (using the second photo as a guide for placement):
1. desk on the left facing the wall (something a little lighter, both in color and material)
2. tv stand center of back wall (flanked by 2 spare chairs or ottomans for additional seating, or low-lying bookcases that span the length of the wall for additional storage, whichever you need more of)
3. 3 seater couch in the center of the room, with enough space to put a coffee table (again, lighter) in between the couch and the tv stand and leave room to walk)
4. long, narrow dining room table (if needed) behind the couch with 2 chairs
5. on the right wall, if you're using the bookcase option from option 1, then you can place 1 chair on the right wall for additional seating in the living area.
6. large area rug to cover up the hideous carpet tiles
hope that helps!
You need a rug.
First of all you really need a carpet.. a big one, taking up most of the living room area (leave the traffic flow areas with the tile)
No offence with your "couch" its kinda cool for an entry way but doesnt look for inviting or comphy. Go for a larger sofa
If this area is mainly being used for an office I would suggest a larger desk
I always play with the layout of furniture once I get the peices all together, and it would be handy for a place buy the door either a shelf or bench?
Hope this helps!
How about having sofa floating near the back of the room? I will place the sofa between the white chair and the garbage can (both sides with aisle to walk into the living room). Then the desk placed behind the sofa. So when you walk into the apartment, you see the desk first then the sofa in front of the desk. Maybe try it at a slight angle too. I saw many rooms like this and looks nice. This also allows you to define your living room. Carpet will also be needed to cover the wires from desk to the walls.
I've worked this out. Take a look at http://cooperstreetviews.blogspot.com/2011/08/sandys-design-dilemma.html. It has a floorplan, drawings and a suggested shopping list.
Sorry, the above is at Floorplan and Solutions.
I worked out floorplan with a couple of options, some 3D drawings, and a suggested shopping list.
Good luck!

Two killed as storm hits Mexico
Aug 10 2012
Tropical Storm Ernesto has hit Mexico, killing two people as it moved inland and began drenching the flood-prone southern Gulf region.
Ernesto made landfall near the port city of Coatzacoalcos after spinning across the far southern Gulf of Mexico in waters dotted with oil rigs operated by the state oil company.
The government closed its largest Gulf coast port, Veracruz, and the smaller ports of Alvarado and Coatzacoalcos.
In neighbouring Tabasco state, two fishermen drowned when the stormed passed through the area, governor Andres Granier told reporters.
Mr Granier said the storm's strong winds ripped rooftops from several homes but residents refused to evacuate, fearing their possessions might be stolen.
"For now, we are monitoring the situation ... people have chosen to stay in their homes and we are helping them," he said.
Coatzacoalcos, a major oil port, already had received seven inches of rain in the 24 hours before Ernesto's centre passed just a few miles away, according to Mexico's weather service. San Pedro in the neighbouring state of Tabasco had seen more than 10 inches.
Juventino Martinez, the civil defence chief in Coatzacoalcos, said: "We have some flooding, some water building up" on streets in lower-lying sections of the city. He said 40 shelters were ready but had not been used yet.

- Top Chef Duels Taking Care of the Cast of Grey's Anatomy Wednesdays 10/9c
There are currently no items to display.
Now all the contestants fit into one car. Andrea, Carisa, Goil, Matt, and Michael's tasty task this week was to create a Chef's Table adjacent to the kitchen of a fine restaurant.
Our celebrity client and guest judge was hoping for more than a fantastic gastronomic experience for his future guests; he wants to engage all five senses.
Did anyone notice how Andrea was glowing when Todd visited her during the design phase? It was certainly a harbinger of things to come. When you love what you do, it shines through, and not only in Andrea's rich textural room that you simultaneously felt impressed by and yet comfortable with.
Carisa's knowledge of arts and crafts allowed her to hit the sketchpad running. Having a well-rounded base of knowledge will always help you. You never know what situation you might stumble upon and a good designer is an informed designer, and not just in your "style."
Carisa's differing color palette did not exactly work in her favor this week. While her table was gorgeous, it seemed dwarfed next to her oversized banquette. A room of straight lines and a graphic feel requires sumptuous materials to transform it into a lap of luxury.

An Earthy Cook's Kitchen
Dream Kitchen
As the resident of a tiny apartment, the kitchen of my dreams is one big enough so I can't touch both walls simultaneously. But if I really want to dream big, I imagine a true cook's kitchen. A huge, professional quality range and a luxurious double oven for baking both a main dish and a dessert at once. And since both space and price are non-issues, a pizza oven ensures that I'm never more than 10 minutes away from a pizzeria quality pie.
But I just don't feel at home in a chrome castle, so I've also included plenty of earthy touches — a dip-dye rug, a rugged wooden fruit bowl and casual, open shelving to keep everything at arm's reach. A sleek telescoping pendant is infinitely adjustable, so it perfectly lights any meal prep. I imagine three or four hanging above a tall countertop with wooden stools for extra kitchen seating.
1. A polished nickel pendant from Arteriors is modern but classic.
2. Portland, Oregon based Clive rocks all things coffee.
3. Open shelving is airy and casual and, in my dream kitchen, always effortlessly organized. Via House Beautiful.
4. The countertop pizza oven from Kalamazoo Gourmet doesn't even require installation!
5. A handmade cherry burl wood bowl from Etsy seller Timberturner.
6. A classic tractor seat stool from Bassam Fellows done in sleek wood.
7. A 60'' Viking range is the gold standard for cooks and can be color customized.
8. The indigo and white dip-dye rug from West Elm adds some 70's cool.

6k pizza oven for a small home/apartment? Really? no thanks, i'll stick to my regular oven or deliveries.
Now this is MY kind of "wood work!" Yummy!
@PixelsPerSecond, the first two sentences of the post are "As the resident of a tiny apartment, the kitchen of my dreams is one big enough so I can't touch both walls simultaneously. But if I really want to dream big, I imagine a true cook's kitchen."
So not for a small home/apartment, but rather for a dream kitchen where space and price are nonfactors.
That Viking range is as big as my bathroom! It is amazing to look at and dream but I'd have to give up my sink to have one in my kitchen.
Clive is my favorite! I recommend the displayed item, some Stumptown coffee, and this grinder http://www.redroostertradingcompany.com/products-page/coffee-grinders/camano-coffee-mill/ ohhhhh
The Viking range 60" is about $13,000. Unrealistic for an apartment or small space!
That light fixture is fantastic! Wow!
Nice to have dreams but this doesn't seem a real cooks dream but rather another lightweight AT "space filler". I know people who like to cook and have unlimited resources and none would buy a stove like that for starters not to mention the light fixtures, coffee maker & other stuff. Free AT content, not worth much time. Sorry Maxwell.
This is great, thanks for dream list!
Wow! This is my dream kitchen too! I love everything on this post, especially the stools, anyone knows where to get them and how much they are (although I'm scared of knowing the price)?
... have the Chemex and Frieling mentiord at Clive - love 'em!
I think several of those telescoping pendants hung together would be a busy mess. They are made to be used alone. That coffee-drip stand and the tractor stool, however, are outstanding.
I'd like one of each of these, please! Especially the pizza oven and Viking range.
I admire Viking's resurrection of Greenwood, MS and their American production, but according to Consumer Reports, they have a high break rate. And this isn't a one-year anomaly -- this has been going on since their start. I follow them on FB and customers constantly post complaints, both about dealers and Viking itself. I'll stick to GE, which I can buy and get serviced locally.
A 60" wide stove with two ovens is my #1 fantasy, but I can't imagine why anyone would opt for open shelving.
Everything is electric here I definately need two ovens and would love 6 burners. Love it on chrome and large hood.
I love it all. Every single item here. Though I might need a degree in engineering to figure out how to use the light. SOLD!

"There comes a point where Susan, who was the older girl, is lost to Narnia because she becomes interested in lipstick. She's become irreligious basically because she found sex. I have a big problem with that." - JK Rowling
Can we talk about Susan's fabulous adventures after Narnia? The ones where she wears nylons and elegant blouses when she wants to, and short skirts and bright lipstick when she wants to, and hiking boots and tough jeans and big men's plaid shirts when she feels like backpacking out into the mountains and remembering what it was to be lost in a world full of terrific beauty— I know her siblings say she stops talking about it, that Susan walks away from the memories of Narnia, but I don't think she ever really forgot.
I want to read about Susan finishing out boarding school as a grown queen reigning from a teenaged girl's body. School bullies and peer pressure from children and teachers who treat you like you're less than sentient wouldn't have the same impact. C'mon, Susan of the Horn, Susan who bested the DLF at archery, and rode a lion, and won wars, sitting in a school uniform with her eyebrows rising higher and higher as some old goon at the front of the room slams his fist on the lectern.
Susan living through WW2, huddling with her siblings, a young adult (again), a fighting queen and champion marksman kept from the action, until she finally storms out against screaming parents' wishes and volunteers as a nurse on the front. She keeps a knife or two hidden under her clothes because when it comes down to it, they called her Gentle, but sometimes loving means fighting for what you care for.
She'll apply to a women's college on the East Coast, because she fell in love with America when her parents took her there before the war. She goes in majoring in Literature (her ability to decipher High Diction in historical texts is uncanny), but checks out every book she can on history, philosophy, political science. She sneaks into the boys' school across town and borrows their books too. She was once responsible for a kingdom, roads and taxes and widows and crops and war. She grew from child to woman with that mantle of duty wrapped around her shoulders. Now, tossed here on this mundane land, forever forbidden from her true kingdom, Susan finds that she can give up Narnia but she cannot give up that responsibility. She looks around and thinks I could do this better.
I want Susan sneaking out to drink at pubs with the girls, her friends giggling at the boys checking them out from across the way, until Susan walks over (with her nylons, with her lipstick, with her sovereignty written out in whatever language she damn well pleases) and beats them all at pool. Susan studying for tests and bemoaning Aristotle and trading a boy with freckles all over his nose shooting lessons so that he will teach her calculus. Susan kissing boys and writing home to Lucy and kissing girls and helping smuggle birth control to the ladies in her dorm because Susan Pevensie is a queen and she understands the right of a woman to rule over her own body.
Susan losing them all to a train crash, Edmund and Peter and Lucy, Jill and Eustace, and Lucy and Lucy and Lucy, who Susan's always felt the most responsible for. Because this is a girl who breathes responsibility, the little mother to her three siblings until a wardrobe whisked them away and she became High Queen to a whole land, ruled it for more than a decade, then came back centuries later as a legend. What it must do to you, to be a legend in the body of a young girl, to have that weight on your shoulders and have a lion tell you that you have to let it go. What is must do to you, to be left alone to decide whether to bury your family in separate ceremonies, or all at once, the same way they died, all at once and without you. What it must do to you, to stand there in black, with your nylons, and your lipstick, and feel responsible for these people who you will never be able to explain yourself to and who you can never save.
Maybe she dreams sometimes they made it back to Narnia after all. Peter is a king again. Lucy walks with Aslan and all the dryads dance. Maybe Susan dreams that she went with them— the train jerks, a bright light, a roar calling you home.
Maybe she doesn't.
Susan grows older and grows up. Sometimes she hears Lucy's horrified voice in her head, "Nylons? Lipstick, Susan? Who wants to grow up?" and Susan thinks, "Well you never did, Luce." Susan finishes her degree, stays in America (England looks too much like Narnia, too much like her siblings, and too little, all at once). She starts writing for the local paper under the pseudonym Frank Tumnus, because she wants to write about politics and social policy and be listened to, because the name would have made Edmund laugh.
She writes as Susan Pevensie, too, about nylons and lipstick, how to give a winning smiles and throw parties, because she knows there is a kind of power there and she respects it. She won wars with war sometimes, in Narnia, but sometimes she stopped them before they began.
Peter had always looked disapprovingly on the care with which Susan applied her makeup back home in England, called it vanity. And even then, Susan would smile at him, say "I use what weapons I have at hand," and not explain any more than that. The boy ruled at her side for more than a decade. He should know better.
Vain is not the proper word. This is about power. But maybe Peter wouldn't have liked the word "ambition" any more than "vanity."
Susan is a young woman in the 50s and 60s. Frank Tumnus has quite the following now. He's written a few books, controversial, incendiary. Susan gets wrapped up in the civil rights movement, because of course she would. It's not her first war. All the same, she almost misses the White Witch. Greed is a cleaner villain than senseless hate. She gets on the Freedom Rider bus, mails Mr. Tumnus articles back home whenever there's a chance, those rare occasions they're not locked up or immediately threatened. She is older now than she ever was in Narnia. Susan dreams about Telemarines killing fauns.
Time rolls on. Maybe she falls in love with a young activist or an old cynic. Maybe she doesn't. Maybe Frank Tumnus, controversial in the moment, brilliant in retrospect, gets offered an honorary title from a prestigious university. She declines and publishes an editorial revealing her identity. Her paper fires her. Three others mail her job offers.
When Vietnam rolls around, she protests in the streets. Susan understands the costs of war. She has lived through not just the brutal wars of one life, but two.
Maybe she has children now. Maybe she tells them stories about a magical place and a magical lion, the stories Lucy and Edmund brought home about how if you sail long enough you reach the place where the seas fall off the edge of the world. But maybe she tells them about Cinderella instead, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, except Rapunzel cuts off her own hair and uses it to climb down the tower and escape. The damsel uses what tools she has at hand.
A lion told her to walk away, and she did. He forbade her magic, he forbade her her own kingdom, so she made her own.
Susan Pevensie did not lose faith. She found it.

Meet Jaclyn, she works in one of the many offices of the Learn Liberty team, and is a really dedicated activist for liberty. I'd like to think libertarians take care of their own.
Jaclyn's house was broken into on 10/30/2013 and she lost, among other things, her new computer, right before her favorite holiday of Halloween. Let's show her the power of crowdfunding and chip in to make her losses a bit more bearable.
Please, even if you can only spare a dollar anything would help her move beyond this setback.

Bilateral gynandromporphism - half female, half male.. This genetic anomaly is usually restricted to arthropods, but has been known to express itself in birds as well.
The women coming into places of power within the American political realm are not a cause for celebration for me. That's because they are continuing the roles of authority and exploitation that the men held before them. They are doing nothing to eradicate the institutionalized classism or sexism in our legal system, and are in fact undertaking the roles necessary to continue implementing it.
I refuse to see someone as an ally simply because they are female. In fact, I consider someone like Janet Yellen to be antithetical to everything I hope to see achieved by women. The type of feminism supporting this kind of event largely sees women achieving roles of authority and power over other people as a victory. They completely disregard the dark nature required to sustain such a role: the exploitation and violation of women both domestically and internationally through financial, legal, and imperialistic means.
Feminists ought to support women who achieve roles of leadership that liberate those around them and enforce equal treatment of all individuals under the law. Feminists are not obligated to support women simply because they are able to do what men did previously- in particular if what the men did was detrimental to the cause of equality for all.
I would go so far as to say that it is degrading to the potential of feminism to perceive female liberation as merely replacing men in the roles they have already created. Women are capable of improving the quality of life for humans both domestically and globally through leadership and activism, and should be supported when they create their own roles in society that are not coercive or hierarchical.
I wouldn't be happier to be robbed of my life or property simply because a woman was behind the mask. So no, I will not consider it a victory to see a woman funding the foreign policy that inevitably leads to death of women, men, and children in foreign countries. It feels more like a betrayal.

1. I'm lonely so I do lonely things
2. Loving you was like going to war; I never came back the same.
3. You hate women, just like your father and his father, so it runs in your blood.

6. I stay because you're the beginning of the dream I want to remember.
7. I didn't call him back because he likes his girls voiceless.

24. The women in my family die waiting.
25. Because I didn't want to die waiting for you.
26. I had to leave, I felt lonely when he held me.

Apple Deprecated Flurry's Treasure Trove of Data
Back in August of 2011, Apple quietly noted in iOS 5 Beta 6 that it had deprecated the API used to retrieve a device's unique identifier (called a UDID). There was a firestorm of press when it happened, but Apple didn't start aggressively enforcing the change until just this week.
For most iOS app developers this isn't a big deal. Substituting an app-specific identifier will work just fine in most cases. But this seemingly small change is a big deal for ad networks and analytics providers.
Earlier this month Flurry announced "Flurry AppSpot, the first data-powered app advertising platform". Through its free analytics service, Flurry has collected a staggering amount of data over the past few years, and most of that data is tied to UDIDs. The average iOS user is likely to have several apps installed that use Flurry analytics, which means Flurry is able to use the UDID to correlate the data and build very specific user profiles. With the launch of AppSpot, it's clear how Flurry intended to use that data — for highly targeted advertising.
Though targeted advertising can quickly turn creepy, I'm not personally opposed to all forms of targeted advertising. In my view, the line between appropriate and suspect ad targeting is in how the data used for targeting was obtained. Unfortunately, much of Flurry's data was collected by unwitting app developers, like myself, from users who had absolutely no idea any data was collected.
Back in 2009 I installed Pinch Media analytics in Gas Cubby to better understand how people actually use the app. And it's been a great tool for doing just that, but I was honestly a bit naive in signing up for a free service and not thinking about the long-term business model of Pinch Media. I assumed I'd eventually pay a monthly fee for the service and Pinch would keep iterating on this great tool they had created for developers. Instead they merged with Flurry and kept burning through VC cash while I seemingly got a free ride.
Turns out, I was paying in user data. Instead of offering me the opportunity to pay for the service, Flurry is now going to monetize the data I gave them by offering highly targeted ads. Well, that's what they wanted to do. By enforcing the deprecation of the UDID API, Apple is rendering useless much of the data Flurry has collected over the past few years. And in my case, I never used Flurry to collect any form of personal and/or sensitive data, so Flurry's Gas Cubby data wasn't particularly valuable anyhow.
But Flurry didn't just roll-over and accept that Apple doesn't want iOS user data so easily correlated across apps, recent Flurry SDKs seem to capture plenty of other data useful in correlation and Flurry is likely using it to re-correlate the old UDID referenced data. They may even be regenerating the UDID themselves using the the same data used by the deprecated API. Because of this, I've decided not to install the new SDK and will completely pull Flurry from my apps in the next update. When I close my account I'll make sure to request that the data is deleted, but the terms of service I agreed to way back in 2009 likely give them the right to keep the data. Hopefully the data they collected from Gas Cubby ends up in a pool of unusable data and is eventually deleted.
That's all well and good, but now I have to figure out what to do next — Flurry Analytics was a great tool that helped me make better informed business decisions. TestFlight recently released TestFlight Live which is, in my opinion, much better than Flurry, but TestFlight Live was launched just after TestFlight was acquired by Burstly, an ad network. Same song, second verse. Or is it? This is a great opportunity for Burstly to lead the industry with a clear commitment to developers — and by extension, all mobile device users — about exactly what they will collect, and how it will be used. And if that doesn't align with Burstly's long-term business objectives, there's a big gaping hole in the market for a mobile analytics company that developers can pay for in cold hard cash rather than user data. HockeyApp looks promising.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
The way some of you are freaking out, you'd think you'd never read a Mike Schramm article before. The man is opinionated. He draws a lot of flak for that. It's part of who he is and how he contributes to this site, and I for one enjoy reading his articles even if I don't always agree with his opinion. If you think he should stop writing because his point of view isn't the exact same as yours, you should be not only be ashamed, you should restrict yourself to reading technical white-papers so that you don't accidentally hear about else's bias. It might actually force you to think.
As for the article itself - yes, some of Mike's information is a little outdated or biased.
For example, most Holy Priests don't spec Lightwell. Spirit of Redemption (the healy-ghost) is about as far as most Priest healers are willing to go in the Holy tree. It's just too flawed to give up the great stuff found in the higher tiers of the Discipline tree.
And yes, his information about Arcane mages is slightly dated. Arcane used to be the utility tree. It was the tree you specced into if you wanted mana efficiency. It used to be the tree that supported the other two trees and not really a tree in and of itself. Now it's pretty much the 'Uber Arcane Missiles' tree and little else.
As for what he said about hunters, most raiding hunters spec Marksmanship for a reason - you can't depend on pets in a raid. Yeah, BM is better at non-solo content than it used to be, but Marksmanship is still where most DPS-conscious hunters go at the end of the day. There will always be exceptions, but really, Mike isn't wrong.
And he's not wrong about Survival either. It lacks the things that make the other two trees powerful and doesn't add anything equivalent. It needs a lot of work.
Lastly, tanking Paladins. He clearly stated that this was his opinion. And given the number of bad paladin 'tanks' out there, it's a damned easy opinion to come by. Most paladins who think they can tank are either former retnoobs who haven't learned how to hold aggro on more than one target, or they're still retnoobs and think they don't need to spec into the Protection tree. Either way, Paladin tanks have a bad reputation for a reason. That having been said, my experience has been that a good Paladin tank is easily the equivalent of a Druid tank - that is, almost as good as a warrior in most situations and even better in some. But I'm not going to start calling Mike names because his experience hasn't matched mine.
So back off a little people, take a deep breath, remember that this is an opinion piece, and try to get a little perspective. Mike isn't trying to insult you personally - he's just expressing his own point of view. Once you figure out that part, the rest is easy.
@Mike: Keep up the good work.

Used to be the greatest rivalry in hockey was Canada vs. Russia.
When the best players from both countries hooked up for an eight-game series in 1972, a heated rivalry was born. Canada won the famous Summit Series, but the Russians taught them a thing or two about conditioning and team play.
Then, in 1980, things changed again when a bunch of school kids did the unimaginable and beat the Russians in the semifinal of the Olympic Games – the Miracle On Ice. Even though that victory wasn't for the gold medal, it is widely regarded as the greatest hockey game ever played and put the American right into the thick of things in terms of world dominance in the sport of hockey.
Since then, Canada and Russia has waged a bitter ice war and now, with the Olympic Games being played in Russia, the host country desperate wants to win the gold medal.
That's what makes Saturday's match-up against the United States such an interesting one (7:30 a.m. ET, streaming at cbc.ca/olympics). Team USA lost the gold medal by a goal in 2010 in Vancouver and thoroughly dominated its opening game in Sochi, crushing Slovakia 7-1. Russia, meanwhile, beat Slovenia 5-2, but was not overly impressive.
The Americans – pros this time – are influenced by the legend of the Miracle On Ice. Not only that, Team USA star defenceman Ryan Suter is the son of Bob Suter who was a member of the 1980 U.S. Olympic team. Ryan was born five years after the stunning win over the best team in the world.
On the other side of the ice, Viktor Tikhonov, 25, is the grandson of legendary Russian coach who goes by the same name. The elder Tikhonov is 83 years old.
All guns firing
The Russians boast a high-power offence featuring the likes of superstars Alexander Ovechkin, Ilya Kovalchuk and Evgeni Malkin. All three scored goals in the opening victory against Slovenia.
Team USA has a few snipers of its own starting with Phil Kessel of the Toronto Maple Leafs. In NHL action this season only Ovechkin, with 40 goals, has scored more often than Kessel who has 30. The speedy right-winger had a goal and three points in Team USA's win over Slovakia.
Team USA coach Dan Bylsma has indicated he will stick with Jonathan Quick in goal. Quick, who led the Los Angeles Kings to the Stanley Cup two years ago, got the start ahead of Ryan Miller of the Buffalo Sabres.
Miller almost singlehandedly led the United States to a gold medal in 2010. He was the tournament's most valuable player despite losing the final to Canada in overtime.

I so agree why do i want "Dispel Offensive" on a PvE Shaman healer ?
Normaly that i whould let someone who actualy targets a mob do that not a healer but thats just me from a PvE perspective from a PvP perspective it sounds fine.
and losing poison & disease cleaning abilities will hamper shaman healers if the instances will continue to have alot of thoes effects on mobs.
yes the clensing totem was Overpowered but the removal of clense toxins and Clensing spirit doesn't seems fair.
i my self whould anyday have the old combination any day over the new one.
(Dispel Offensive) - All , Cure poison (all) , cure disease ( all) , comination spell ( cure poison & disease Restro) ok make them restro only and remove the totem but this combination is just weird.....
I think the combination the shamans got is a result of rouges trying to kill a restro shaman ;-)
i my self have numerous 5+ minutes kills of rouges you win or the run after 4+ minutes
Tremor + Cleansing totem up + earthshield = just a freaking slow kill of the rouge ....
I whould love to have (Dispel offensive magic) , (Dispel poison), (Dispel Disease) spells on my shaman tho .... still got Cleansing spirit bound to "1" key on my healer setup as my totems doesnt work outside my group.

Threat Description
The Sampo virus, also known as '69', seem to come originally from the Philippines. This boot sector virus was discovered in England and Norway in November 1994. After that, it has been reported in Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, Finland, Belgium, USA...generally world-wide.
Automatic Disinfection
Allow F-Secure Anti-Virus to disinfect the relevant files.
For more general information on disinfection, please see Removal Instructions.
Technical Details
Sampo can infect a computer's hard disk only if the computer is booted from an infected diskette, in which case the virus infects the hard disk's Main Boot Record. Virus stays resident after the floppy boot. The virus also goes resident in memory the next time the computer is booted from the hard disk. Once in memory, Sampo infects all non-write protected diskettes used in the computer.
Sampo takes hold of the interrupts 08h, 09h and 13h (clock, keyboard and disk operations). When Ctrl-Alt-Del is pressed, the virus will attempt to fake a warm boot, keeping itself resident.
Sampo activates on the 30th of November, after the machine has been used for a couple of hours. Then it displays a blue box on the screen's upper corner. In the box, Sampo prints in cyan the following text :
S A M P O "Project X" Copyright (c)1991 by the SAMPO X-Team. All rights reserved. University Of The East Manila
Sampo incorporates also one peculiarity; it carries the old Kampana virus with it, and it will make clean write-protected diskettes appear to be infected with it, if they are examined while Sampo is resident. It probably does this to fool users to remove write-protection from floppies and to try to disinfect Kampana, so Sampo can infect the floppies.
Sampo virus can also be disinfected manually by cold-booting the infected machine from a boot diskette with MS-DOS 5 or 6. The FDISK utility should be copied to the boot diskette beforehand. After booting the machine, test that all hard disk partitions are visible with with DIR command. If you receive an error message like "Invalid drive specification", do not try to use FDISK to remove the virus. If all partitions can be seen then the command FDISK /MBR will overwrite the virus in the master boot record. After a succesful disinfection the machine can be booted normally again. Floppy disks can be disinfected manually by SYSing them on a clean machine.
Sampo is common all over the world.

MYO2 encodes an essential class V myosin heavy chain and MYO4 encodes a second, non-essential, class V myosin (6, 7, 8, 9). Class V myosins are usually homodimers and function as molecular motors that in yeast transport distinct sets of cargo to polarized regions of the cell along actin cables (10, 4). Myo2p predominantly transports membrane-bound organelles, whereas Myo4p moves mRNAs (see below and MYO4). Through evolution Myo4p has lost features found in Myo2p and animal myosins, such as portions of the tail region required for the transport of membrane-bound organelles (10, 11). Still, Myo2p and Myo4p are more closely related to each other than any other myosin. Non-yeast homologs of MYO2 and MYO4 include the mouse dilute gene, chick brain M5a, and the human MYO5A (OMIM), which is mutant in some patients with Griscelli syndrome (10).
Class V myosins have a particular domain architecture and distinct modes of regulation. Myo2p and Myo4p have an N-teminal actin-binding motor domain and a globular C-terminal tail domain separated by a coiled-coil dimerization domain (10). C-terminal to the motor domain is a neck region that contains six IQ motifs that can bind calmodulin encoded by CMD1 (10, 12). Myosins are typically regulated by interactions with light chains. The myosin light chain encoded by MLC1 physically interacts with, and regulates Myo2p (13). The binding of the Myo2p tail by the kinesin-like protein Smy1p promotes the polarized localization of Myo2p and impacts Myo2p function (14, 11, 15, 16). While the light chain(s) that regulate Myo4p are yet to be defined, a novel motor-binding protein, She4p, may modulate Myo4p function (17). Myo2p is phosphorylated in vivo and the functional consequences of these modifications are complex (18).
Myo2p promotes polarized growth by mediating the vectorial transport of organelles along actin cables to sites such as the growing bud during vegetative growth (4), the bud neck during cytokinesis (19), and the shmoo tip during mating (20, 21, 22). Organelles transported into the growing bud include secretory vesicles (6, 23, 24, 11, 25), vacuoles (26), peroxisomes (27), and late-Golgi elements (28). Myo2p also participates in orientation of the mitotic spindle early in the cell cycle (22). Cargo-specific myosin receptors act as links between the cargo and the myosin tail. Myosin receptors include Vac8p-Vac17p on vacuoles (29) and Inp2p on peroxisomes (30). Sec4p, a vesicle-bound rab, associates with Myo2p, and along with Sec2p and Smy1p, is critical for vesicle transport (4). Myo2p participates in spindle orientation by actively transporting Kar9p/Bim1p-decorated microtubule ends into the bud (4). The role of type V myosins in mitochondrial inheritance has been controversial. There is no dispute that actin is required for this process. Early studies suggested that type V myosins are dispensible for this process (31) and demonstrated that the force used for directed mitochondrial movement is generated by Arp2/3-dependent actin nucleation (32). Others have suggested that Myo2p is involved in mitochondrial inheritance (33, 34). A more recent study attempts to reconcile the differences and provides evidence that Myo2p and the rab Ypt11p are required for the retention of newly inherited mitochondria in the bud (35).

TUESDAY, Nov. 16 (HealthDay News) -- Using surgical procedures
to open clogged arteries in addition to standard drug therapy seems
to work better at maintaining good blood flow in diabetics with
heart disease, new research finds.
The analysis, being presented Tuesday at the American Heart
Association's annual meeting in Chicago, is part of a larger
randomized clinical trial deciphering how best to treat type 2
diabetics with heart disease.
In that study, the U.S. government-funded BARI 2D, all
participants took cholesterol-lowering medications and blood
pressure drugs. They were then were randomized either to continue
on drugs alone or to undergo a revascularization procedure --
either bypass surgery or angioplasty.
The initial findings showed that patients fared equally well
with either treatment strategy.
But this more recent analysis took things a step further and
found that there did, in fact, appear to be an added benefit from
artery-opening procedures by the end of one year.
More than 1,500 patients who had participated in the original
trial underwent an imaging procedure called stress myocardial
perfusion SPECT or MPS, which were then analyzed in this study.
"At one year, interestingly, we saw that patients who were randomized to revascularization had significantly less severe and less extensive and less severe myocardial perfusion [blood flow] abnormalities," said study author Leslee J. Shaw, professor of medicine at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta.
Shaw reported ties with different pharmaceutical and related
"We also saw trends at this one year test towards greater effectiveness improvements in angina [heart disease-linked chest pain]," she added.
The study found that 59 percent of patients in the surgery arm
had no apparent blockage of blood flow compared to 49 percent in
the medication-only group.
Those with compromised blood flow (ischemia), not surprisingly,
were more likely to have a heart attack or die, the researchers
But, Shaw pointed out, the patients included in this study all
had relatively good blood flow overall and were considered low risk
for cardiac problems. "It remains to be seen [how the strategies
fare] in patients with more extensive and moderate to severe
ischemia," Shaw said.
Another trial is now being planned which will look at patients
with moderate-to-severe ischemia.
Because this study was presented at a medical meeting, its data
and conclusions should be viewed as preliminary until published in
a peer-reviewed journal.
And one expert not involved in the trial said that the jury is
still out on this issue.
Dr. Jeffrey S. Borer, chair of the department of medicine and of
cardiovascular medicine at the State University of New York (SUNY)
Downstate Medical Center in New York City, noted that the length of
time patients were tracked in the study was not very long.
"This study is useful and the data is interesting . . . [but] what we really care about is longer term clinical results," he said.
