Stem Cells - Ethics
The term "stem cell" is used so freely these days in many different forums that it is difficult sometimes understand without context what scientists, politicians, ethicists and commentators are discussing. Many papers discussing the ethics of stem cell research are published about or linked to the legal and political issues.
A useful guide (online PDF document) to stem cells was produced in a report by the National Institute of Health (NIH, USA, May 2000) [../pdf/fullrptstem.pdf Stem Cells: A Primer] (note large size - 4.84 Mb) and more recently NIH has established a Stem Cell information page.

Some Recent Findings
- Sydney Uni bans stem cell research on church land (ABC News story - 6 February , 2007 | Audio Podcast) "A deal between Sydney University and the Catholic Church means that Australia's largest medical research centre, due for completion in 2012, won't be allowed to do any work on embryonic stem cell research."
- Deciding the fate of supernumerary frozen embryos: a survey of couples' decisions and the factors influencing their choice[1] "Results from a recent Australian survey into couples' views on the use of supernumerary embryos. 40% (123/311) returned completed questionnaires. 42% most common decision was donation to research (altruistic motives and desire not to waste embryos were determinants of embryo donation). Determinants of disposal were not wanting a full sibling to existing children and opposition of embryo research. 45% found deciding distressing. 69% approved of embryo donation to stem-cell research."
- Stem cell research in a Catholic institution: yes or no?[2] "Catholic teaching has no moral difficulties with research on stem cells derived from adult stem cells or fetal cord blood. The ethical problem comes with embryonic stem cells since their genesis involves the destruction of a human embryo."

INFORMATION FOR HUMAN RESEARCH ETHICS COMMITTEES SHEET NUMBER 5 - STEM CELL RESEARCH The Australian Health Ethics Committee has been approached by human research ethics committees (HRECs) seeking advice on how to review research protocols that involve stem cell research.The following guidance is interim. Formal guidelines will be developed by AHEC in the context of its review of the 1996 NHMRC Ethical guidelines on assisted reproductive technology.
Stem Cell Debate in Australia continues with new Federal Legislation (August 2002)
- Parliament of Australia- House of Representatives Bills Digest No. 17  2002-03 Research Involving Embryos and Prohibition of Human Cloning Bill 2002 "Purpose: To ban human cloning and other 'unacceptable practices' and to regulate the use of excess human embryos created by assisted reproductive technology (ART). The Bill is designed to be part of a national scheme which will include complementary State and Territory laws."
- ABC Lateline disscussion- Broadcast: 14/8/2002 Stem cells: science and ethics clash "As the Federal Parliament debates a bill that will legalise embryonic stem cell research, the moral debate continues. Many hope embryo stem cells will hold the promise of cures for diseases and even allow paraplegics to walk again, but is it acceptable to use the cells from a potential human being?" Full transcript of this discussion available online.
- Dr Michael Wooldridge MP, Minister for Health and Aged Care, Media Release, 'National Framework Agreed to Prevent the Exploitation of Human Cloning', 31 July 2001 NATIONAL FRAMEWORK AGREED TO PREVENT THE EXPLOITATION OF HUMAN CLONING Australian Health Ministers today agreed to the development of a national framework to prevent the exploitation of human cloning. Meeting in Wellington today, Australian Health Ministers acknowledged that the development of complementary legislation across the states and territories was essential to ensure a consistent national approach to the cloning of humans.

- NHMRC- Stem Cells Derived from Human Embryos At its 141st session in March 2002, the NHMRC reaffirmed its commitment to rigorously applying the standards developed by the Australian Health Ethics Committee (AHEC) in the conduct of research in Australia involving humans. These standards consist of the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Research Involving Humans (1999) and associated guidelines.

Legal: Research involving the in vitro embryo, March 2004 == New Zealand ==
"The regulations on stem cell research are reviewed, showing that four positions have emerged. Position A corresponds to the prohibition of all embryo research, position B confines the use of embryonic stem cells to those currently in existence and therefore extracted prior to some specified date, position C allows for the use and ongoing isolation of embryonic stem cells from surplus in vitro fertilization embryos, and position D approves of the creation of human embryos specifically for research. Position B which has been adopted by the United States, Germany, and Australia (with subtle differences between them) and which is regarded as a compromise position, is critiqued." Towns CR, Jones DG. Stem cells: public policy and ethics. N Z Bioeth J. 2004 Feb;5(1):22-8. == United States ==
On August 9, 2001, at 9:00 p.m. EDT, the President announced his decision to allow Federal funds to be used for research on existing human embryonic stem cell lines as long as prior to his announcement (1) the derivation process (which commences with the removal of the inner cell mass from the blastocyst) had already been initiated and (2) the embryo from which the stem cell line was derived no longer had the possibility of development as a human being.
In addition, the President established the following criteria that must be met:
- The stem cells must have been derived from an embryo that was created for reproductive purposes;
- The embryo was no longer needed for these purposes;
- Informed consent must have been obtained for the donation of the embryo;
- No financial inducements were provided for donation of the embryo. In order to facilitate research using human embryonic stem cells, the NIH is creating a Human Embryonic Stem Cell Registry that will list the human embryonic stem cell lines -- at varying stages of development -- that meet the eligibility criteria. Listed below are entities that have developed stem cell lines that meet the President's criteria and are therefore eligible for federal funding.

NIH Clinical Trials (May 2004) Launches Study of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Severe, Treatment-Resistant Lupus (NIAMS, May 13,2004)
A clinical therapeutic trial in the USA for hematopoietic stem cells in an autoimmune disease.
"A five-year study to see whether a therapy using transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells, blood stem cells found in bone marrow, can produce long-term remission for patients with severe, treatment-resistant systemic lupus erythematosus (or lupus), a rheumatic autoimmune disease that can affect the body's major organs. The study will include a basic research component to examine the roles of B and T cells, white blood cells in the immune system, in triggering lupus symptoms."

Wichita, KS (SportsNetwork.com) - Fred VanVleet netted 18 points on an efficient 4-for-7 shooting and No. 16 Wichita State overcame a sluggish first half to beat William & Mary, 79-62, at Charles Koch Arena.
The Shockers (3-0) trailed 39-38 at the break, but Ron Baker's triple at the 16:53 mark of the second half put the reigning Final Four participants ahead for good.
VanVleet added eight assists for Wichita State (3-0), which has won all three games this season by at least 17 points.
Cleanthony Early tallied 14 points and nine rebounds and Baker netted 13 points.
The Tribe (1-2) were led by Marcus Thornton, who dropped in 18 points in the setback. Tim Rusthoven and Omar Prewitt contributed 13 and 11 points, respectively.
William & Mary jumped out to a 10-3 lead at the first media timeout after a pair of layups by Kyle Gaillard and six points from Rusthoven.
Gaillard came out of the huddle with a 3-pointer to give the visitors a 10- point advantage, but Wichita State quickly cut into its deficit and kept the game close on a Baker trey and consecutive layups from Nick Wiggins that cut the lead to 16-13.
Early's 3-point play with 3:23 in the half pulled the Shockers back within three at 31-28, but Prewitt drained back-to-back 3's around a VanVleet jumper.
William & Mary had an answer for every WSU first-half run, though Early scored the final five points of the period to get the Shockers back within one.
Baker's triple early in the second period was followed by a pair of Kadeem Coleby jumpers, the last giving Wichita State a 47-41 lead with 15 minutes left. The Tribe's Sean Sheldon stopped the surge temporarily with a layup, but Chadrach Lufile's steal and dunk in transition capped an 11-2 burst that put WSU in front by double digits at 58-45.
William & Mary scored just one point over the final 4:20 of the contest.
Since Gregg Marshall became the Wichita State head coach in 2007, the Shockers
have outrebounded opponents in 169-of-212 games. WSU outrebounded the Tribe,
38-30 ... The Shockers improved to 2-0 all-time against William & Mary ...
Wichita State won the turnover margin, 14-8 ... Coleby had 10 points.

Dassault Sees Flat Bizjet Deliveries in 2012
Dassault Aviation received net orders for 36 Falcons last year, CEO Charles Edelstenne said today in Paris, noting a major improvement over 2010 when the net total was minus nine due to cancellations. These 2011 orders represented a value of €1.93 billion ($2.5 billion), and the Falcon backlog now stands at €4.2 billion ($5.5 billion).
Global regions performed differently, with China and Latin America "working well" in 2011, Edelstenne said. North Europe and Russia started picking up, while North America, South Europe and the Middle East have not come to an upturn yet, he added.
The company almost met its delivery target of 65 Falcons, delivering 63 last year. Falcon revenues thus totaled €2.42 billion ($3.1 billion) in 2011. This year, Edelstenne is expecting approximately 65 deliveries.
Development of the still-under-wraps Falcon super-midsize (SMS) is "in full swing," he said, with the first parts–structural components–expected to be manufactured by the end of the year. The SMS is slated to fly in 2014. Edelstenne emphasized his company is not receiving any public financial support for the SMS.

Kris Humphries' Family: Kim Kardashian Marriage a Sham, Kris Jenner the Mastermindby Free Britney at . Comments
Kris Humphries recently said he's not to blame for Kim Kardashian's miscarriage scare. Now his family is speaking out, calling their union a "sham."
In an interview with The Sun (UK), Kris' uncle Mike and aunt Dedria open up about the 28-year-old NBA player's relationship with the E! starlet.
Simply put, "It was all a sham," Dedria told the newspaper.
"My understanding of marriage is that people give it more than 72 days unless there's abuse. If somebody had duped me and used me in front of the whole world, I would be very angry."
As for why Kris Humphries is still fighting for an annulment as opposed to just getting divorced, she says, "An annulment says it wasn't valid in the first place."
"She should admit that it was a sham at the very least."
Mike added that Kris wants more than just a clean slate.
"I can just see him wanting a pound of flesh back. I believe he wants payback," he said, adding that Kim's mom, Kris Jenner, is behind the facade.
"She's the mastermind. You can just see that's the brains making that thing go. The wicked part is she's using her family. All of this is really due to her."
Kris and Kim, who split in the fall of 2011 (yes, 2011), are set for a May 6 divorce trial; the Brooklyn Nets star wants an annulment on the grounds of fraud.
Whether he has a case remains to be seen, but his former attorney allegedly quit because he doesn't think there is enough evidence to back the claim.
Kim Kardashian, how pregnant with Kanye West's baby, is still pissed about the charade, though, which is probably half the battle as far as Kris is concerned.
At least one tabloid report claimed that Kim's recent miscarriage scare was due to Kris and stress over the divorce trial, a charge he vehemently denied.

Anyway I'm adding this RSS to my e-mail and can look out for a lot more of your respective interesting content. Ensure that you update this again very soon.. Jones sabo genuinely energy doing this important m http://toyfactoryjandl.lolipop...
I don't know anyone who is 28 years old willing to give up a year and a half of their life plus their money to seek revenge. I'm not a kim fan anymore but Kris Humphries I believe is obsessed with Kim cuz why would u want to be linked to this type of publicity. When this is said and done what will be the point. Most people don't think highly of Kim or Kris. Kris humphries is the biggest loser I know
Before, I kind of sided with Kim K. But, I am now tired of both her and Kris H. They need to settle this divorce mess so that they can move forward.
If it was all for publicity, wouldn't it be for him rather than her? no one really knew of him before they started dating, now they do. to be honest if it was for publicity, wouldn't Kris Jenner have picked someone who is equally or even more famous than Kim? The only one really benefiting from keeping this ongoing would be Humphries. Seriously dude it was 2011, move one, Kim obviously has.
I agree 100%. The claim is made that the wedding was a ploy for ratings, which is nonsense, since Keeping Up has had good ratings for years, a marriage certainly was not needed. And before Kim came along, Kris was a second-string nobody on the laughable Nets. I follow the NBA, and I hadn't even heard of him. If Kim wanted to go to a basketball player for the purpose of using him, it would have been someone known, like Kobe, Lebron, or even Ray Allen.
Of course it was a sham! You would have to be stupid to believe otherwise. Kris was just a pawn in the game...Get that ring back Kris!!!
Unless the courts ignore the prenuptial agreement, the ring's staying with Kim. Maybe you should have told your hero Kris to be smarter about this. As far as the courts, they'll make sure Kris gets pretty much nothing from Kim, except of course the fame that she has already gotten him.
I don't understand why he can`t just sign the divorce papers and be done with her, shes clearly moved on buddy and doesn`t want anything to do with you.
The truth is, he has no case for fraud. If he did, his lawyer would never have walked out on him. Now we are going to hear from his family? Who are they again? You might as well ask me about it, I'll bet I'll give a more honest reply. Kris is a scrub himself, his family are a bunch of nobodies who mean nothing to no one.
They both have issues and need to go away! I have to admit, he is doing the right thing annulling her ass! That marriage was a fraud just like Kim herself! And Kris Humphries is an idiot for falling for her trap and marrying her. Both dumbasses!
Don't give up until you get your annulment Kris you deserve it. Kim is a complete user.

Patti Stanger says she's extremely sorry for her homophobic and anti-Semitic remarks last night on TV -- telling TMZ, she didn't mean to stir the pot.
Patti tells us, "I am so sorry. I did not mean to offend anyone with my comments last night."
Patti appeared on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live" -- when she said gay men are incapable of monogamy ... adding, "There is no curbing gay men ... I have tried."
But gay men weren't the only target of Patti's unprompted criticism -- she also generalized, "Jewish men lie."
Bravo is also apologizing for Patti's outburst -- telling us, "[Patti's] comments are not representative of the network's beliefs and opinions. We apologize for the offense it caused."
This is MAN bashing. She's Jewish too.. What I think is really silly is that she SAYS she broke up with her fiance because he didn't want kids. The woman is almost 50! I think her child bearing years are behind her. Maybe she's thinking of adopting!
Compare and contrast the following statements:
Men lie.
White men lie.
Black men lie.
Jewish men lie.
Catholic men lie.
There's no curbing straight men.
There's no curbing gay men.
There's no curbing men.
I submit that you could make some of these comments and no one would notice and yet others apparently cause great offense. Sometimes you have to wonder...
Chill out people, She is Jewish herself and all her posse is gay....
Seriously, is there anyone who actually knows any gay men that won't agree that gay men are, in general, huge sluts?
That's not homophobia, that's reality.
Alright folks, it's seriously time to check yourselves. A form of mind control is imposing ones views constantly upon another until they actually believe it.
That is exactly what THZ is trying to do to you and then they hope you take the learned message to others you know.....
Don't let them turn you into a fruitcake.
Never heard of her and certainly care to never hear anything more about her EVER AGAIN.
Isn't it okay for a jewish he/she to say that kind of stuff about themselves?
I don't care who you sleep with. I don't care who you love. What I am offended with TMZ, is that you presume or expect me to have an opinion. THAT IS OFFENSIVE and I RESENT THE HELL OUT OF IT.
whats wrong with Patti she should know the only people she can get away with bashing on Bravo are Rebulicans...Gheesh what a chubby jerk !
Who is this clown and why is she running her mouth?
Why is it when A male celeb say something like this everyone goes crazy blasting them. But this lady who not only this time, but times before has done it and all is ok.
She shouldn't have to apologize! People can say what they want!
a) I'm pretty sure her comments do not constitute having a fear of homosexuals.
b) Her comment is right on the mark. Homosexuals are incapable of monogamy as this is unnatural behavior. They are mentally ill. The prevalent spread of HIV infection among homosexuals compared to the normal population says it all. http://www.cdc.gov/nchhstp/newsroom/docs/fastfacts-msm-final508comp.pdf
hos can gay guys stay faithful when there's things like football and big manly buns
What about her comments that women with red hair should change it since men don't like redheads? Also, that girls shouldn't appear too smart when getting to know men. And curly-haired girls should straighten their hair! She is homely and pathetic in her "advice" And///Red Heads are HOTTTTT. And make the hottest lovers.

Belgian Frites
This recipe comes to us from chef Michael Formichella. Though Bintjes potatoes are ideal for frites, as they hold their shape and do not turn floury when fried, Idaho work almost as well.
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- 2 pounds potatoes, preferably Bintjes or Idaho, peeled and sliced lengthwise into 1/3-by-1/3-by-2 1/2-inch sticks
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Fine sea salt, to taste
Step 1
Soak potatoes in cold water and cover for a minimum of 1 hour and up to 24 hours. Drain, and pat dry.
Step 2
Heat 3 inches oil in a large stockpot to 275 degrees to 300 degrees. Line two baking sheets with paper towels. Blanch potatoes in small batches without crowding, turning occasionally, until completely cooked but barely colored, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer potatoes to one of the prepared baking sheets to drain in a single layer.
Step 3
Increase oil temperature to 350 degrees to 360 degrees. Fry potatoes in small batches, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden brown. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt, and serve immediately.

An Alabama family who moved to Colorado to gain access to a medicinal marijuana oil is cautiously hopeful to return home with the passage of Carly's Law.
The newly signed law will allow UAB to study the effectiveness of cannabidiol oil, a non-hallucinogenic medical marijuana oil, that some claim can manage seizures. The study will allow some families access to the oil during the study, bringing hope that their loves ones will experience a better quality of life.
We first told you about the Swann family in February 2014. Their daughter, Allie, suffers from intractable epilepsy. The family moved to Colorado in September 2013 to be able to treat her seizures with CBD oil.
Now, they're hopeful that with the passage of Carly's Law, they may be able to return home and have access to the oil they say is already helping Allie.
"We don't understand the particulars of theimplementation process but again like I say, it's a start," said Butch Swann, Allie's father.
The Swanns are in constant contact with Allie's former doctors in Birmingham. They tell the family Allie is a top candidate to be accepted into the study.

The robust flavor of blue cheese underscores the earthiness of the mushrooms on this delectable pizza. Gorgonzola has a pronounced flavor, but any blue cheese will work nicely.

To celebrate the coming Duke Nukem Forever release, I've remade one of my first GaMetal songs, Grabbag, the Duke Nukem theme.
Grabbag was my favorite of the 2009 GaMetal songs, and for quite a while it was the most popular of the 2009 songs till Pokemon RBY Trainer overtook it.
Nothing is changed arrangement-wise. I simply re-recorded the instruments and of course re-mixed and mastered in the 2011 style.
As with my 2009 version, this is a combination of the Nintendo 64 version and the full original Lee Jackson version.
All instruments (Guitars, Keys, Drums), arrangement, and recording by Jonny Death. No instruments are programmed.
Rated 5 / 5 stars June 19, 2012

No exact number. Maybe 6 or 5 in the start of the season. The games are moved over to CN8 which is CURRENTLY exclusive to comcast and has always been a "roll-over" channel for Philly Sports.
Being a Phillies Fan myself, I want to see every phillies game every night...but these missed games are not enough to make me go back to comcast (due to the overall better picture quality, etc other personal reasons).
We have both Comcast Sportsnet in SD and HD, aswell as WPHL17 in SD and HD.
You should have this channel. Send a Private Message to CharlesH on this site and he can look into it for you.
I feel your pain and hope that CharlesH can help you get those Philly sports broadcasts. Up here in central NJ - zip code 08536 (Princeton area) - I am 43.75 miles from home plate at Citizens Bank Park according to Google Earth - just a shade more than the 38.78 miles your police department's headquarters in Sadsbury Township, PA is from the ball park. But those extra 4.97 miles are what is keeping me from the Phillies, Eagles and Flyers. And with football about to start this is starting to look like an ugly fall for me. The crazy thing is Comcast delivers those Philly channels righ here on my street and if I still had an old fasion over the air antenna on my roof I could tune in to the games that way, too.
Verizon, please, why is a brand new 21st century product like FIOS unable to keep up with last century's copper wire and roof antennas?

Too funny...LOL!
Nice cab! I have never been in a cab in London that looked this nice on the interior! Sure it was a cab?
You guys are ruthless. You scared the hell out of her!
What a tub of lard she is. That red nose is so attractive, isn't it?
WTF? You scared this woman to death. Celebs need to start carrying pepper spray and/or guns. This camera had to be entirely inside the cab. That's unacceptable. Doesn't she still have any security that can kick the bejesusl out of paps?
That's mean. How would you like it if you were resting and someone came up and took your picture then posted it on the internet for everyone to see. Get a life paparazzi.
Jeez, can't you paps let sleeping dogs lie?
If you look closely in the window of the car....her hand is in a totally different position than the actual picture...nice try.
London cabbies are the best in the world. For one thing they actually know where they are going!
Mean trick to flash a bulb in a sleeping person's face, though.
She's sleeping in the back of a car. Why is this news? Why is this funny? What do the rest of us look like sleeping? Probably just the same.
Rude! The paps are getting worse by the day.
Comment #3 Arri : you are a mean person. What is wrong with all of the mean people in this world. Makes me sick
This sure is messed up. That poor lady was SLEEPING for Goodness sake. There is a line that you guys are crossing constantly and invading the privacy of everyone. STOP IT!
The Duchess of Pork got me "throne" out of a department store about 8 years ago. She made a personal appearance in Dallas in conjucntion with selling her Wedgewood China and I went...and took pictures of her toes peeping out of her shoes...Considering she got "throne" out of the Royal Family and those same toes (sucked by a fellow Texan)were part of the problem I just had to have a photo of them..Anyhoo, her security man was enraged and got me "throne" out when he pointed it out to the beeyatch...
Yeah you guys are out of control.. Cant even let someone sleep. I'm coming to your house and waking your asses up.
You guys are pigs. I'd hate to see what your ugly asses look like sleeping.

It's about a private eye that chooses the worst, most unexciting place to practice detective work: suburbia. This is the intro I shot in an afternoon with my brother and the very talented Leland Colburn.

First Look: New Chanel Nail Polishes For Spring
It was hard to know where to look backstage at Chanel yesterday. Between the makeup artists individually applying pearls onto models' faces and the house's global creative director of makeup, Peter Philips, creating a gorgeous glow using a mix of his Illusion d'Ombre eye shadows from Fall, it was definitely a beauty moment worth writing home about. But our eyes did manage to wander over to the nail station, where they so often do, as we fixed our gaze on these lovelies. "I'm doing three colors for Spring—April, May, and June," Philips told us of his new lacquer offerings, which are sure to incite a frenzy when they hit shelves in January. The colors are a bit softer than they appear in this iPhone snap we managed to take while processing the sensory overload, so June's tangerine is slightly more subtle in person and that much more lust-worthy. April's rosy fuchsia is also speaking to us, which leads us to our usual predicament following a Chanel show: It's not a question of whether Philips' polishes will be incorporated into our manicure routine next year, it's a matter of which one. Making matters even more complicated is the gorgeous, opalescent, opaque pearl varnish he also used for the show that may or may not be going into production. Which is your early favorite?
Update: we got a hold of a way better picture of all three lacquers. Two words: eye candy.

It was a very uncorrelated market the past week with the Nasdaq falling 1%, the DJIA rising 1%, and the Russell 2000 coming in flat. Overall, nothing has changed in our model and we remain under an overall NEUTRAL condition.
Despite being under a current NEUTRAL position, we definitely have a long bias currently in big-cap NYSE stocks. Low P/E stocks that pay a nice dividend that show some more »

Green feels like your new comfortable slippers after a nice, cold freezing shower.
Green looks like a nice mint chocolate chip ice cream on a hot Summer day.

Talk about over the top! The Eliica 8 wheeled electric (power by lithium-ion batteries) vehicle by Tokyo's Keio University does 0-60 in 4.2 seconds, can reach a top speed of 230mph, and lastly sports gull wing doors for a dash of extra cool. We gotta wonder how long the battery lasts with those performance specs? Can't afford the $260,000 vehicle? Then just download the paper cut out, assemble, and head to the medicine cabinet for a 260 cent band aid to mend those paper cuts.

Movie News
Hey everyone, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Harry here, and it is strange how New Year celebrations wear the brain down. I mean, last night I rented this new arcade in town, PINBALLZ - themed the party to the 70's - due to the fact this place has 13,000 square feet of Vintage Arcade joygasms.
I bring this up, because if anything - the mere existence of PINBALLZ shows an encouraging trend for geek kind. I know about places like DAVE & BUSTERS and their ilk. They're fun places, but there's something that feels wrong about them. They're... corporate. They're missing any sense of personal style.
PINBALLZ has 91 different stand-up Pinball machines going back into the 1960s. The place feels like a museum, but you can play with everything. I've been quickly falling in love with this joint, I don't have any relation to the place, but last night around 2:30am I was talking to the owners and just asking where and how this place came to exist. Turns out - he's a guy who owns a couple of Tech companies here in Austin, who has decided he needed a cool hobby that could help teach his sons about business and responsibility. SO - he's put together an Arcade. The best arcade I've ever been to.
If you're around my age - and you have strong memories of arcades in the Seventies, you can remember the sound. Remember that sensation. When it was oh... 70% Pinball noise, but with a bit of noise coming from the birth of Video Games along a small portion of the arcade? Well, last night - when we had about 100 folks all playing Pinball and games at the same time, the sound was... amazing.
You could lose yourself in it. From about 8:30pm till 2:30am we all became Pinball Wizards.
Why would I write about this place, on the first day of the New Year?
Simple. I want people to discover PINBALLZ, I want other folks around the country to think about it. Too often we disappear into our computers, play emulations of classic games... but TEMPEST sucks on your computer and it is unbearably awesome in the Cabinet model. And those classic games, they're hard. Getting to the red levels on TEMPEST takes skill, real skill. Because you can't put a token in to continue the game, you have to do it all on your own. That's old school.
It was so much fun last night when my nephew, who had been observing me & a few friends playing TEMPEST against one another - then we stood around talking for a bit, and he went up to the machine, put some tokens in and was promptly killed within moments. He's 10. But I have to say, perhaps amongst my favorite moments of Uncle-hood, was when he asked me, "Uncle Harry, can you teach me how to play TEMPEST?"
My god, the smile that hit me was one that put dimples upon my soul. I went up to the machine, put my tokens in, and then had the best game of TEMPEST I've played in over 23 years. There was something about showing my nephew the tricks of TEMPEST. Rapid hitting of the fire button, as opposed to holding it down. Not wild spinning, but controlled. The right angle to kill those flipping bastards when they get to your level. It was so sad, I got one level from RED before dying. Sometimes it is those simple things. He'll quickly be able to destroy me, if he practices - but that's what those old school games required. Practice.
Now that I'm coming down from the aches & pains of New Year's celebration, I figure that I owe all of you a December's worth of DVD Columns, I'm pretty far along on it, let's see if I can get it out before the end of today. HAPPY NEW YEAR - let this be the year that you live your dreams and indulge in the fun you deserve.

is absolutely incredible. I could hardly believe a place like that existed, when the Pre-Pre-BNAT party was hosted there. I'd never seen so many pinball machines in one location. Found a lot of old machines we used to have at a (now closed) movie theatre for a few months at a time. A great spot.

by Noddy93
they fucking have XYBOTS!!! i remember some arcade on the drag (in maybe '88) that had Xybots. I was with a troupe of punkers trippin' balls on July 4th and I played that game for what seemed like hours). later that night we walked to the south across the river and as we crossed the bridge we caught the ONE firework set off that year by the city (thanks to rain). it was a beautiful cobalt blue.

Seriously, the image of you eating your own is making me nauseous (no exaggeration, it really is). I know a lot of your animations are gross, but this one is getting 2011 off to a shitty start. I'm sure there's plenty of fun with this, but as soon as I navigate to AICN, I start literally retching.

I wish arcades would make a comeback as well
by SoylentMean
When I was little the only real arcades were at the beach boardwalk and the few Putt-Putts that existed in our area. Every year, when my family went to the beach, I had money saved up just for arcades. Because that was a treat.
 Now, I don't even know if the arcades exist at the boardwalk anymore and all the Putt-Putts are gone. While I enjoy the home console videogames (especially when thinking back to how flippin' excited I was to get an Atari 2600 and later a Sega Genesis) they never really match that experience.
 You never worry about if the game is gonna eat your quarter.
 That cacophony of beeps and jangles isn't going to be replicated at home, unless you're super rich. Pinball games were the goddamn lords of beeps and jangles, a mix between the electric and the physical ball bearing interactions of paddles and bumpers. They were and are, art. A celebration of human ingenuity that is dying, or worse, just being ignored.
 If someone comes along and opens up an arcade and makes it a fun and safe place to have a good time, that actively promotes the fun experience, there's really only one reason it shouldn't succeed, people are too stupid to get off their asses and go have a good time.
 So good luck to Pinballz. Reminds me of another place I wish would branch out and become a nationwide franchise (ahem, Alamo Drafthouse, ahem).

I too miss the arcade experience
by Nasty In The Pasty
Nothing beat that rush of entering an arcade with a pants or jacket pocked loaded with quarters, jumping into the empty slot of a four-player game and getting into the shit with a total stranger who might be your best friend after an hour or two. Having a finite amount of quarters also intensified the experience, making you play a little smarter unless you wanted to spend the last hour before your mom picked you up standing forlornly behind the other guys and watching them play over their shoulders. Nowadays games are EASY as fuck, with a constant barrage of on-screen instructions telling you EXACTLY what to do, but you used to have to WORK at winning the old arcade cabinets. A four-player session of the TMNT arcade game circa 1989 was the SHIT back in the day.

by phifty2
I hear what you're saying but about games today telling you what to do but it's not like those old arcade games were exactly headscratchers. You were lucky if the cabinet had two buttons on it. With the virtual console and downloadable games along with top tier titles for each system we gamers have everything we could ask for and I really can't see a reason to complain. Pretty much every game ever made is available in one form or another to have right in your home. If it's the social aspect of the arcade you miss that's another thing but i never really found the people at my local arcade to be anyone I'd want to catch a ride home with.

Wait...they don't have the Back to the Future pinball machine!?
by Kamaji
If anything could get me over-excited for pinball, it'd be to play that machine again. Though I see they have a couple others that I recall with fondness related to Spielberg films, like Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones. Btw, is it me, or can anyone else envision pinball machines for movies like Avatar and Tron? Or am I just hallucinating out of early-morning hunger?

Every time I hear this AICN GEEK clarion call...
by justmyluck
...I hear, "Give us your money, kiddies!!!" That said, it's nice to hear there is a pinball preservation/play area that's still dedicated to stealing quarters (or do the PINBALLZ tokens cost more?). My personal favorite was the original KISS and TOMMY and almost anything manufacturer BALLY delivered. The pinball cabinets will eventually succumb to time, so thank heavens for those open source ROM emulators - they're the best preservation of all. Those vector arcade games were habit-forming and, while TEMPEST was certainly cool and installed everywhere, there were vector cabinet conversions called MAJOR HAVOC and GRAVITAR which involved A LOT more skill. The free Mac/PC ROM emulators like MAME are generally fine for those two. You do need a proper controller for particular vintage arcade games, not all. Though, when you're actually losing money on a game cabinet, you take it more seriously and can have a better play session.
Jan. 2, 2011, 12:48 a.m. CST
I agree with Nasty
by room23storeblogspotcom
Arcades were so cool back then! I loved hanging out with friends or even people who you didn't know and playing TMNT or Street Fighter or X-Men or Double Dragon. It was even awesome just to watch others play. I miss how back in the 80's every grosery store, restaurant & convenience stores along with Water slide parks and Bowling Alleys had arcade games. Back then 7-11 was the place to hang out because of arcade games, comicbooks (only place to get them in my small town since there weren't actual stores) and Slurpees. I miss how my friend and I would ride our bikes there after school to blow our quarters.

 Sure theres Virtual Console, but theres just something about the arcade experience. Its kind of the same as the Movie Theater experience. Sure you can pop in a Blu-Ray and watch on your big screen TV, but you don't get the movie going experience.

They have an Avatar Pinball game at Pinballz. Haven't played it, but I have put a ton of money into Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Bride of Pinbot, Jurassic Park (very vivid memories of my childhood there) and the T2 arcade game.

That has like triple the machines of the place being pimped here, some dating back to the '30s.

So if you think pinball is a neat-o novelty like Harry, there are places like pinballz (great name, by the way. gag)

However, if you seriously love pinball, there are alternatives.

Vector does not exist in this dojo
by Cobra--Kai
Pinballz sounds like a nice 'hobby' for the guy who's financed it. Much better that these groovy old machines can still be played with by the public than stowed away in private.
 Also, it's an investment that can bring return and enhance the community, rather than buying a Picasso for your mansion at the price of a hospital wing.
 With TRON LEGACY out it seems like a nice time to give a nod back to the early vector games. Wireframe geometric shapes, pin sharp graphics and ultra fast response times. ASTEROIDS and TEMPEST are prob best known, but as others have mentioned you also have the likes of GRAVITAR and LUNAR LANDER (which sim'd gravity), and my personal fave Atari's STAR WARS.
 STAR WARS was, and still is a thing of beauty. Sit down cabinet. Flight yoke. Psychadelic colors. Tie Fighters and the trench run... and speakers behind your head so upon blowing up the Death Star you can hear Alec Guiness whisper in your ear - 'the force will be with you always'. Class.

Move Harry to some nowhere town in Kansas

Austin is a great town, but it's easy to lose perspective on the world there. Harry should move to some middle of nowhere town in Kansas, and try to bring "geek culture" to the lonely geeks in small towns, not in geektopia Austin.

It seems sites like Deadline are now the place to go if you want a "scoop" and AICN is the place to go if you want to hear about Harry's emotions, bowel movements, and nostalgic ramblings about what it is to be a geek. I think a better (and less misleading) title for this article would be: VISIT PINBALLZ NOW FOR A GOOD TIME, YA'LL!

There is a place here in Brooklyn called Barcade that is pretty cool, it's more 80's arcades and it's nowhere near as big, but it totally embodies that feeling you're talk about Harry. Hopefully when I'm in Austin in April I can make it to Pinballz it sounds like a blast.

Telemarketer does not exist in this dojo

Telemarketer, yes it's true this site has felt in decline lately.
 Yes it's true that it still feels borderline broken, having to log in every time you revisit the site to post a comment.
 Yes it's true that many of the reliable old regulars who were always good for a joke or debate have upped and gone.
 Yes its true what you say about Harry putting an hour a day into posting and proof reading.
 But you can't give someone 'friendly' advice 10 minutes after utterly shitting on them, calling the dude a weird fat fuck and insulting his wife!
 That's the Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde school of advice?

Semi Truck Accidents in Cincinnati
A semi truck or semi-trailer truck is an articulated commercial vehicle having a separate tractor with a cab for the driver which pulls a trailer attached to the tractor. The semi trailer has no front axle, due to the fact that the front part of the trailer is the part that is coupled to the tractor.
Unlike a small truck, a semi truck is a large, heavy and complex piece of equipment and requires special attention and maintenance. Improper semi truck maintenance can be the cause of an accident on the roads and highways in Cincinnati such as the I-275, I-75, I-74, I-71, US-127, US-52, US-50, US-27, SH-1829, SH-562, SH-338, SH-222, SH-126, SH-32, SH-17, or SH-9.
Cincinnati Semi Truck Maintenance
Trucking companies operating in Cincinnati, Ohio are required by law to properly maintain their semi truck fleet. A Cincinnati trucking company or any company that uses vehicles to transport passengers or property along major Cincinnati highways, such as the I-275, I-75, I-74, I-71, US-127, US-52, US-50, US-27, SH-1829, SH-562, SH-338, SH-222, SH-126, SH-32, SH-17, or SH-9, should have a maintenance program in place. Improper maintenance is often a major cause of accidents in Cincinnati and Hamilton County and both the driver and trucking company have a duty to ensure the safety of their vehicles.
Why You Need To Hire a Cincinnati Semi Truck Accident Lawyer
In many cases, Cincinnati 18-wheeler accident attorneys must retain the services of scientific and medical experts to prove both the cause of the accident and the cause of your injuries. Additionally, a qualified semi truck accident lawyer will obtain all kinds of evidence concerning the scene of the crash, truck logs, and other important information to be used against the trucker, trucking company, or the company's insurer. Arranging expert witness testimony and preparing important physical and documentary evidence is just one of many ways a Cincinnati tractor trailer injury lawyer can help you after you've suffered a truck accident injury from a major 18-wheeler truck wreck.
If you or a loved one have been involved in a serious box truck wreck, semi crash or big rig accident, hiring a lawyer is the farthest thing from your mind when tragedy such as this strikes you, a family member, or a friend. However, this is when you need a Cincinnati truck accident lawyer most. Do yourself a favor by calling one of the qualified Cincinnati truck accident lawyers listed on this page. Hire a qualified Cincinnati tractor trailer accident lawyer to help protect your rights.
Cincinnati Owner-Operator Semi Truck Maintenance
Not all semi trucks are operated by trucking companies. Cincinnati semi truck owner-operators are also required by law to properly maintain their semi trucks and keep them in good working condition. Travelers who become involved in an auto accident driving in a passenger vehicle on a Cincinnati interstate such as the I-275, I-75, I-74, I-71, US-127, US-52, US-50, US-27, SH-1829, SH-562, SH-338, SH-222, SH-126, SH-32, SH-17, or SH-9 can easily become a multiple vehicle car accident or pileup due to the sheer volume of traffic in the Cincinnati area. Unfortunately, this can often occur due to improperly maintained semi trucks owned by small businesses. For example, improper maintenance is often found in Cincinnati owner-operator situations where one driver owns his or her own semi truck. An owner-operator may let the condition of their semi truck slip and still able to get the job done because the owner-operator is running a small business and may not have the time or money to properly maintenance and inspect their commercial vehicle. Regardless of the size of the company, this is an unacceptable situation. Despite the fact that a semi truck is owned and operated by the trucker, if poor maintenance is found to be the cause of an accident, the vehicle owner will be liable for failing to properly maintain it. The following is a list of semi truck maintenance repair shops in Cincinnati:
Semi truck maintenance repair shops in and near Cincinnati, OH:
Fleet Care, Inc
Map of Truck Repairing & Service in and near Cincinnati, OH:
|Use a reputable semi truck repair or maintenance shop to avoid issues of poor maintenance.
Longer Vehicle Combinations (LVCs)
A semi truck can pull more than a single trailer. A Longer Vehicle Combination (LVC) is a semi trailer configuration where a truck tractor would haul up to 3 trailers. The sheer size and weight of an LVC makes it even more likely that an accident can occur. An LVC requires more diligence on the part of the trucker and the trucking company to maintain the truck, avoid bad loads and drive safely.
Additionally, there are multiple dangers that come with driving on freeways in Cincinnati such as added speeds, rush hour traffic, and possible encounters with drivers who are being negligent or who are inexperienced.
Following are some LVC combinations that although are capable of hauling greater loads, nevertheless present challenges for driving in downtown Cincinnati:
- Doubles - Two trailers being pulled by a truck tractor with the use of a draw bar to support the second trailer.
- Triples - Three trailers being pulled by a truck tractor with the use of two draw bars to support the second and third trailers.
In LVC combinations, the first cargo unit being pulled by the truck tractor is a "semi-trailer" (having no front axle) and the second or third cargo unit is a "trailer" or "pup" (having a front and a rear axle).
The maximum legal gross vehicle weight of a longer vehicle combination to operate on a U.S. interstate highway is 80,000 pounds.

round, with an unforgiving blade putter. First putt sank a 30 ft
putt. Next hole had another long putt, missed, but distance
control was right on; ball 3 inches past the hole.
I've always picked a spot 4 inches in front of the ball to line up
to but always putted looking at the ball. I'm going to try looking
at that spot next time and see how it compares to looking at
the hole.
This is certainly not for everybody but I think in my case
getting myself hole, or spot, focused is going to work. One
of the problems I've had is finding myself looking at the putter
going back and through and becoming obsessed with
squaring the blade. When I do this I almost always leave putts
well short.
I'm actually a little giddy about getting out for my next round.

I've found the same type of result when trying this out periodically. It seems foreign and yet as a scratch bowler, I've spot bowled my entire life; that's how I was taught a a junior. The key is to develop a dependable stroke and set up square to the target line. The best part is that you don't seem to have this preoccupation with stroke mechanics and squaring the putter face when you aren't focusing on the impact point.

Now, inside 10' I will be focusing on the ball so that I make as pure contact as possible.
Had the best week of putting last weekend using this method. Not a single 3 putt which is very unusual for me.

And I think it is a bad idea. To practice something that will be different from your normal routine is not beneficial. If anything it just adds confusion, and mis trust. Secondly to focus on a small target means you are not focused on your starting line. Which means this is at best a drill for perfectly straight putts?

Fatal Flaw - Equivalent to a hunter staring at the meat freezer,
April 27, 2013
This review is from: Instinct Putting: Putt Your Best Using the Breakthrough, Science-Based Target Vision Putting Technique (Hardcover)
I give it a 1 star because nothing ventured anything gained. Trying always helps in some way even if totally wrong. Otherwise I would give the book zero stars because the idea is fatally flawed.
A person could observe that other people LOOK AT whatever the object of their desire is (target) and then have some sort of eureka moment that they should putt that way as well with a false thought that the hole is the object to look at.
However the fact is a person putting has a long stick in hand REQUIRING that he look at the TARGET - WHICH IS THE BALL - NOT THE HOLE. People can fantasize all they want that putting is like basketball, baseball etc but this is false and the fatal flaw in this concept. The target via the fact of the long stick in hand is the ball, not the hole.
This Instinct Putting idea would be equivalent to a hunter staring at the meat freezer while fantasizing that the bullet will magically strike the deer that he is NOT looking at. The goal of putting meat in the freezer would not take place.
A better comparison would be a baseball hitter staring at the left field fence when trying to hit a baseball. Such a technique would result in ZERO hits. Any accidental contacts would be weak and feeble, easily handled by the defense.
Really I find it hard to believe that an intelligent person would have bought into this idea enough to make a book. But then again intelligent people figure out ways of making spending money - hmmm - Maybe they don't believe it either - just making a livin ...
I did try the method to see if some cosmic force would generate putting success only to confirm the above obvious flaws. It is a really nice little book with a a nice dust cover. I will keep it just to remind myself of the content. I make notes in all my golf books to find key points faster for later review. I made not one single note in this book, but for about $6.30 NEW with shipping it can be added to your golf library at little expense. (price as of this writing) I would pass at $6.30 if I had to do it again.

First thing I do is find where it's gonna break. Most putts for me are single breakers unless I'm far far away.
Then guess speed based on where I feel it'll break.
Then hit putt to where I think it'll break and hope that the speed is right.
I also pick out that break spot and move it a foot or two in front of the ball for aiming.
I look at hole, then break spot, then ball then putt. But I do this all fairly quickly from first reading to putt.

How it all started
I'm going to lead you through the story of how I started as an insecure young mother to a strong and confident woman. So, I'm 21 with a boyfriend that I love, but I've only known him for a few months. Things are, of course, exciting between us. New love is one of the best things to experience. We aren't doing anything remotely important with our lives at this point in time. I am getting...

I'm a Good Mom!
Lately, it has been on my mind, the importance of having some sort of support group around for motherhood. When I had my first son at age 22, I was not ready for the mother role, but life brought me a baby, and a mother was what I had to be. It's not that I wasn't thrilled to become a mom, I just hadn't really given motherhood a second thought, until I found I was pregnant. At the time, I had...

Yesterday was a great day. I woke up earlier than usual…it was around 8 am. I started my daily routine–feed Archer, change Archer, chat with Jackson, bath either both kids or just one (babies don't need to bath every day), dress everyone, make breakfast, and then start laundry or picking up. Sounds very dull, but I actually enjoy it. After these things are done, we usually leave the house to...

crumbs on the counter
I'm not sure if this happens to all new moms, but after I had my first son, I turned into a clean freak. I'm not really concerned about germs or any of that, I actually think that the germs are better for the immune system. Anyway, I am obsessed with having things 'just so'. It was close to getting out of hand, then I calmed down, and now at the end of this pregnancy a dirty house drives...

holy Toledo
I just visited a chiropractor for the first time in my life today, and it was glorious. I have been having back pain for most of the second half of my pregnancy, and just recently found that my baby is in posterior position. So, my midwife recommended a chiropractor. I am ever so thankful to have been lead to this wonderful woman. The pain is in no way gone, but I can definitely feel a difference. And the...

Nadal's epic Wimbledon win peaks at 13.1m- 7 Jul 2008 03:00:00
This year's epic Wimbledon men's tennis final, which saw Rafael Nadal beat Roger Federer over five sets, peaked at 13.1m viewers according to host broadcaster the BBC.
BBC1's tennis coverage attracted an average audience of 8.6m and a 39% share between 1.30pm and 9.30pm. The action peaked at 13.1m viewers for the 15 minutes from 9pm with a 47.6% share of audience.
The match, which lasted four hours and 48 minutes and included several breaks for rain, was the longest men's final in history and played havoc with BBC1's schedule, with most of its evening programming shunted onto BBC2 to make way for the tennis.
Last year, the men's final between Federer and Nadal, another five-set epic that saw Federer triumph, peaked at 7.3m viewers for the 15 minutes from 5.45pm.
Elsewhere during the weekend, Lewis Hamilton's victory in the British F1 Grand Prix also did well for ITV1, peaking at 6m viewers for the 15 minutes from 2.30pm.
Full coverage between midday and 3.20pm attracted 4.4m viewers and a 36% share.
Last year's British Grand Prix, which was won by Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen, peaked at 5.1m viewers for the 15 minutes from 1pm.
