Effects of Steroid Injection With Percutaneous Needle Aponeurotomy in Dupuytren's Contracture

- How to Read a Study Record
Dupuytren's contracture is a common hand problem that causes certain fingers to bend towards the palm. Patients with this condition cannot perform daily activities and many are unable to work. It is usually treated by an operation to straighten the fingers followed by therapy if the angle that the fingers are bent at is large enough. However, no treatment has been able to completely prevent the angle from persisting.
This study is designed to examine whether or not the use of a drug in combination with surgery will improve the angle at which the fingers are bent more than surgery alone.
Subjects who receive triamcinolone acetonide will have straighter fingers compared with subjects who only have the operation and no triamcinolone acetonide at both 3 months and 6 months after the operation.
Eligible patients interested in having the operation to treat Dupuytren's contracture will be asked if they would like to join the study. Subjects will be randomly placed into one of two groups: the steroid injection group or the control group. Subjects will have a pre-operative visit, the surgery, and follow-ups at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months. All subjects will have the operation, but only those in the steroid injection group will receive an injection of the drug. During the 6 week and 3 month follow-ups, subjects in the steroid injection group may receive another injection if their fingers are still bent. Angles are measured at the pre-operative visit and at 3 and 6 months. The change in angle from before to after and any differences in the groups, in time points and interactions between the two will be analyzed.

A visit to Paddy's
Late this morning, after we had packed the car and given up hope of visiting Patrick (Paddy) Leigh Fermor's house, Mary got a call with the green light from the Benaki Museum in Athens.

On Rajinikanth's 62nd birthday on December 12, two books of the Superstar were launched and a 63kg cake was cut at the Payapulla audio launch
Superstar Rajinikanth, known for his unassuming attitude and charming aura, celebrated his 62nd birthday on Wednesday, December 12, with close friends and family at his residence in Chennai. "Though early in the morning he stepped out on to his balcony to wave to his fans outside his house, he spent the rest of the day with his family and select friends from the industry," said a source from the industry.
Nevertheless, Rajinikanth fans had every reason to celebrate to the fullest. Members of a Rajinikanth Fans Association cut cakes and unfolded banners in different parts of the city to mark this special day. "12.12.12 is a very special day and our superstar's birthday falling on the same day makes it much more auspicious. This day comes only once in 100 years and, therefore, we wanted to make the best of it," said Sarathy, a member of the association. "We also performed puja in the temple, wishing our superstar health, happiness and prosperity," he added.
Meanwhile, some members of the Tamil film industry also celebrated the actor's birthday in style. At the audio launch of a Tamil film titled Payapulla, a 63kg cake was cut by Rajinikanth's mentor, K Balachander.
On the other hand, two books – My Days with Baasha – The Rajinikanth Phenomenon and Rajinikanth- A Definitive Biography were launched. The former is authored by veteran southern filmmaker Suresh Krissna and The Hindu journalist Malathi Rangarajan, while the latter is written by Naman Ramachandran. South stars Prabhu Deva and Suriya were present at the My Days with Baasha event.
Rajinikanth's Sivaji 3D also hit screens Wednesday. All the 15 theatres showing the 3D film across Chennai had sold-out shows. The film was released in Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka.

The Glasgow band Life Without Buildings existed for only a couple of years, and made only one studio album, 2001′s Any Other City (which is being reissued on vinyl by the New York label What's Your Rupture? in the US and by Rough Trade in the UK for this year's Record Store Day). It's an extraordinary record: fluid, mysterious post-punk that showcases the voice of sui generis frontwoman Sue Tompkins, who speaks and sings as if she's turning over every word and phrase in her mouth, exploring it from a multitude of angles, breaking it down into its phonemes and then leaping to the next thought. Tompkins and the other members of the band — guitarist Robert Johnston (now Robert Dallas Gray), bassist Chris Evans and drummer Will Bradley — came together through the Glasgow art scene, and they were very clearly inspired by that world's openness to uncertainty and eccentricity. I interviewed the four of them separately about their memories of the group and the album.
Robert Dallas Gray: Chris and Will and I were more or less friends before we started playing together. I'd known Will quite a long time by that point, and we were all very involved in the art scene in Glasgow.
Just from hanging out at openings and things, it turned out that Chris and Will and I were similarly enthusiastic about music. Will had been in bands and I'd been playing on my own since my teens, so we talked a lot about getting something going and eventually did. We asked Chris if he could play bass and he lied and said that he could.
Chris Evans: I was at art school in Barcelona, not Glasgow like the others. I heard about the art and music scene in the city and moved there. Playing music with Will and Robert came about through late-night conversations over cigarettes and liquor. I think I might have exaggerated my skills at playing bass. I'd not played since rehearsing in a converted pigsty with friends after school.
Will Bradley: I started out playing AC/DC covers in working-men's clubs in South Wales when I was a teenager, but by the end of the '80s, I was in Nottingham and making pretty decent music with, among others, Glen Johnson (who went on to found Piano Magic). When I arrived in Glasgow, I found a very welcoming scene.
It's a Glasgow cliché to big-up the Pastels and tie them in to everything that happens in the music scene, but I have to admit that, even though we never played together and have fairly divergent sonic interests, [Pastels members] Stephen, Kathrine and Annabel did a lot to make me feel welcome; Norman Blake from Teenage Fanclub, too. I played with a great punk band called the Space Kittens for a while, and I was also part of a guitar-bass-drums three-piece with Stuart Murdoch, later of Belle & Sebastian. I left both those, for better or for worse, because I thought I was still young and had some other, abstract idea of what the music I wanted to make should sound like. My Bloody Valentine convinced me of the power of noise and feedback, and I loved the Go-Betweens, but I was never really an indie kid. I was still hung up on my past — the Mod music, soul and funk and ska, and a childhood obsession with electronics.
Sue Tompkins: My twin sister Hayley's an artist. We're really close, and we both came up to Glasgow at the same time. I made artwork in a collaboration called Elizabeth Go with my sister [and the artists] Cathy Wilkes, Victoria Morton and Sarah Tripp; it was something we all did alongside our own practices. It's indicative of what the Glasgow art scene was like, and is still like: Lots of people work together, and music overlaps art. Everybody went out to these openings and parties, and everybody knew everybody else, and everybody had gone out with everybody else.
Gray: At that time there were a lot of "art bands" coming out, things like Angela Bulloch's Big Bottom, and we were adamantly not part of that. We really didn't see the music as having anything to do with our involvement in art at all, although in retrospect of course it did.
Bradley: As I remember it, Chris, Robert and I were at a party, and I said in some abstract way that I wanted to form a new band that could escape from the indie-rock parameters of the scene and try something else. Rob and Chris immediately decided that I meant to include them and signed up on the spot. We first convened as guitar-bass-drums to no result, and then decided to try working techno-style, the three of us 'round a computer. But nothing clicked till we threw all that away and started again.
Gray: The pre-Sue stuff, from what I can remember, was very much Boys' Music. Sounded a bit like Kriedler or something like that. Neo-Krautrock. We had an idea of trying to build electronics into a live sound, like a lot of those [early Krautrock] groups were doing.
Tompkins: Elizabeth Go was the first time I can remember doing what I do now. My job in one of our performances, at Transmission Gallery, was to stand up, hold a microphone and just read out what I'd written. Robert was on the board of Transmission, so he was really active and put on a lot of exhibitions, but I also knew he had a strong interest in music. I remember getting a phone call — [the boys] said to me something like, "We've got a gig in about two weeks in London, will you do something?" Very vague, which was very good for me. If they'd said, "Can you sing on this song, and it's called this," I'd have probably freaked out.
Bradley: Sue was a friend of mine long before we started the band, and I knew something of what she was capable of. But, as I remember it, the Elizabeth Go performance at Transmission Gallery — which was in itself a great thing — was the moment at which it became possible to see that Sue had a certain ability. We — Rob, Chris and me — turned to each other and said, "OK, this is something."
Tompkins: They would just start playing, and then I'd watch that process for a bit — I find that, still, quite amazing, how the instruments go together. I write a lot, and so I'd take a couple of hundred sheets of paper with things I'd written and typed on them, and listen and listen, and sit on the floor and read through some words, singing along with it in my head. And then I'd just stand up and try it. As far as I could see, they were very accepting. I could have said anything, and they'd have gone "That's great, Sue!" But they were very quiet, as well. I took them not saying anything as a good sign, although from anybody else I'd take non-communication as the biggest downer ever.
Bradley: As I remember it, we played our first show with three songs; I could well be wrong. It was in London, supporting Piano Magic. One of the songs was called "Athlete at Rest," at least to us. Another had Sue singing repeatedly "A boy, a boy, I'm living with a boy," and I have a hazy rehearsal tape to prove it. It's possible that the third was some proto version of "New Town."
Evans: I do remember that we had three songs for the first gig with Sue, down in London, and the last one was "New Town," which was a killer for me to play.
Gray: For our first 20 or so shows, I had stage fright to the point that I couldn't remember what had happened immediately after coming off stage, so I'm not really a reliable witness. I have very vague memories of our first gig. My main memory is seeing people in the audience looking totally confused. Apparently it caused some kind of stir, almost certainly to do with Sue.
Bradley: To my mind there really was a moment when the LWB sound clicked. After that first London gig, Rough Trade/Tugboat didn't just ask us straight out to make a record — though we'd love for history to say that was true. They asked us to send them a demo, and we home-recorded "The Leanover." The recording was done at Robert's flat, with super-basic borrowed equipment, but the most important thing was that, for the first time, we actually got to hear what Sue was singing. I remember sitting in one room of the flat, literally on the bed in Rob's bedroom, as we were recording, listening to Sue singing "The Leanover" next door, and slowly realizing, for the first time, this is more than we ever guessed at — it's something marvelous.
Tompkins: We recorded it with me sitting down, like I was writing a letter. It was really funny to see the three of them all squodged up together. And luckily they didn't mind what I did — if they'd turned around and gone, "Oh, that's not what we were thinking…" I do remember that being a turning point, where they got it. It's a nice memory.
Gray: I recall we all just looked at each other and grinned huge grins. I don't think we'd ever really heard her properly, because of the crap vocal PAs we were rehearsing with. I remember thinking, "That's it, that's what I imagined it could be." It sounded like something new.
[Glen Johnson] wrote back saying he'd left it with [Rough Trade head] Geoff Travis, who put a note on it saying, "I love this!" So they offered to put out a single. This was a pretty important turning point for us, because it led to us meeting [producer] Andy Miller. We booked what was Chem 19 Studios at the time [Chemikal Underground's studio] and Andy was the house engineer. We were kind of terrified of recording in a studio, because we thought a typical engineer wouldn't understand what Sue was doing and would make life difficult for us. We were late to the studio on the first day, and Andy apparently was about to give up and leave when we came in. There was just an immediate rapport when we met. It was really obvious that we shared a sense of humor and an outlook on life, but I still remember waiting with, as they say, bated breath when Sue put the first vocal track down. When the track finished, Andy sat for a minute and then said, "That was amazing."
Tompkins: He's just the nicest — he made it really normal. I'd never been in that environment before — being in a soundbooth, in a black box — and it was fun!
Bradley: Though there is no production credit on the record, in effect we produced it together with him; he enabled us to get closer to what we wanted and do more with what we had than we had thought possible. He had endless patience and endless good ideas; he combined the role of brilliant engineer with that of light-touch producer and super-musical human consultant.
Gray: Andy was always very keen on capturing the best moments of Sue's vocals, which of course makes the heart of the record. A lot of the vocal patterns in the songs were effectively set down in editing vocal takes for the album — they were more mutable before that. The main thing I remember was how hard it was to get Sue to stop jumping up and down during vocals.
Evans: I remember Andy Miller getting us to hold a cardboard box around a mic stand in the yard so we could record Sue singing outside, and I remember forgetting to breathe whilst playing bass, something I've still not figured out.
Tompkins: Will and Chris and Robert were all very learned about their music. They all had massive music collections. Will and Robert both loved the Go-Betweens, which I'd never heard — I listened to them, and they're amazing! I wanted to do a cover version of some dance thing — not "Pump Up the Jam," but something like it — and I remember them saying, "Oh, no, we're not doing that." Now, maybe I'd go, "Why not?" At the time, though, I was like, "Yeah, I know what you mean, Robert, yeah."
I'm sure there are lots of musicians who make what they make through not wanting to make something else. They don't want to sound like Television, so they make sure that they don't. But I think my lack of knowing as much as Will and Chris and Robert was quite a good balance, in retrospect.
Gray: I do feel very proud of the record; there are good tunes on it, and Sue's uniqueness makes it something apart, of its own.
Evans: [Any Other City] sounds joyfully unprofessional, the music chases itself, Sue's voice is extraordinary.
Gray: I think that we were pretty much a classic art-school band. You look at something like Roxy Music and it's clear in retrospect that their whole thing was completely coincident with and informed by what Richard Hamilton was doing. What seemed outrageous to a lot of people seemed quite natural to them because of that.
With us, it's much more diffuse. But while we were pretty adamant that we were a rock band, very few rock bands would have willingly incorporated what Sue was doing. So, having come from a visual-art background gave us an openness, so that we could simultaneously want to sound like the Smiths and Television and also happily incorporate an element that a lot of people found quite hard to process. At the time we got some really incredulous reviews and a few people telling us quite directly to "get rid of the singer". I think it's that disjunction that makes what we did still stand up.
Bradley: To be honest, the idea of Life Without Buildings as "art rock" never appealed to us. We never asked anyone to take our biographies into account when listening to our music and, with one exception, we never played art galleries. We have nothing else to offer but the band — and now only the recorded sound of the band. That's it.
Tompkins: Sometimes, I think, "If we had stayed together, what would the second album have been like?" If I think about how good that process was, it feels like a loss. I will very occasionally put on one of our songs, and I still can't quite get a hold of it, but I like the energy of it. Some of the songs — I think they're meant to be quite joyous.

January 2009: Start On the right footI We've had a great holiday, considering the economy. We did our best with family and friends around us to celebrate. And maybe we celebrated a bit too much, food wise! Look to January 18-24th this year – a new year – to maintain Healthy Weight. You can go to the website (http://www.healthyweightnetwork.com ) and find out more information about how to maintain a weight that is right for you. Even better this year is that on Monday, 19 January 2009 – Martin Luther King Day – we can advocate for the King Day of Service. Everyone can find something in their community to do that will be of service to someone. The month of January is National Birth Defects Prevention Month. Some of us were raised on the March of Dimes telethons and walkathons. Go to http://www.marchofdimes.com and remember how we used to slip dimes into the cardboard placards at local delis, "five and ten" stores and more. Finally, desperate times exist for many – and not just monetarily but in our blood banks. We need donors. Give blood where you can; it is National Blood Donor Month. Downstate has periodic drives but so may your local community centers, churches, temples and other public places. If you are healthy, be screened for blood donation and give! We are entering a new era – a new President will have his inauguration this month and the nation will move forward. January can be very wintry but the outlook is sunny! |

How much do split limb silencers quiet down your bow, and in turn how much do would they slow my bow down?
Printable View
How much do split limb silencers quiet down your bow, and in turn how much do would they slow my bow down?
There are several factors that attribute to noise in a bow. Adding silencers will help in most cases. They will not slow your bow down.
I've always thought adding weight to the limb would slow the limb down. Therefore slowing down the arrow in turn.
I've played around and the only thing other than dropping draw weight, shooting a heavier arrow/tip will cause you bow to lose FPS. Also adding certain items on you string or making it with more strands can also slow it down. I've never personally seen where you'll lose some FPS by adding limb dampeners.
I shoot an invasion do you think it would really make a noticeable difference on the sound?
Hate to say it...but if a deer hears you bow go off...it is not going to matter how fast it is!
I used the Sims Hunter's Pack made by Limbsaver this last season and only got positive results from each component. While slowing my bow down wasn't a concern when I bought the pack, I can't say that there was a noticeable difference. What I did notice was more control and stability from the stabilizer and less vibration and noise from the limb dampeners and leeches. I'd take a more accurate and quieter shot over one that is maybe 10 ft/s faster. I shoot a 2009 Admiral with split limbs.

i just begun to watch manga and anime..i love them
0 total episodes
You have a great favorites list you should fill out the rest so I can see what you have watched. Our interested seem to be very similar!
Wow, a newbie! You have seriously come to th right place if you're just starting to explore anime. First thing I'd say is, definitely check out the Anime Recommendation Database at the top of this page. Basically it's the best tool to help you find amazing stuff; you type in an anime you like, and you can see what other members of the site recommend you watch next. In the entries you can also find screenshots, reviews, and a link to Anidb. If you find an anime you like, you can then select it to go onto your 'want to watch' list. Also, I really recommend joining the Forum, because we are a really nice bunch. And we talk lots about anime (sometimes lots about crazy rubbish, lol). Lastly, manga means comic books. You don't watch it, you read it. Anime is the animated version - often, a lot of anime was originally a manga. Anime planet is about the animated serieses/films, we don't really deal much in manga, but you're free to discu

Recap For June 13, 2013
Last week on Hell's Kitchen, Ramsay gave the Chef's two challenges: a taste test, which the women narrowly won, and an individual challenge to cook him whatever they wanted. Right now, Jon is on the hot seat, but Cyndi could beat him. It's fish vs fish, Mahi Mahi vs Halibut. The winner is … JON! Finally, a man has beaten a woman in a challenge! Now he will be immune this round, regardless of how the service turns out.
In the dorm, Zach is bitching again, saying he did it right, but I think he's just full of crap. The size of the filets was pathetic, so he didn't deserve to win at all.
When they go down to prepare to cook. Everyone is trying to fire themselves up, but Zach is suffering emotionally. I think he hasn't gotten over his failure or his lack of understanding as to WHY he failed.
The women are splitting up the tasks evenly, but with Zach MIA, Anthony and Jon have to do all the work on their own. In anxiety, Jon drops something, then a fire breaks out. Something is burning the Hell out of the men's kitchen.
It's one hour till the doors open, but the men's kitchen is going up in smoke, and with Zach on an emotional sabbatical. Zach comes down and sounds like this happened because he wasn't there, and he's right! It wouldn't have happened if he wasn't such a puss!
There will be some special guests tonight and the pressure is on to make it the best service ever!
Maria Menounos arrives. Nice!! Ramsay is yelling at Mary to keep her tongue in her mouth while she works. You're not a cat, Mary, so come on! With Jon and Anthony on appetizers and fish, things are already going well. The scallops are perfect, and the first appetizer order goes out flawlessly!
The women are handling it well, until Cyndi falls behind and drags back the team with her, but they adjust and improve.
Before long, however, unseasoned risotto comes out. Jon may be safe, but everyone things he's copping out – I don't agree.
Jeremy Sisto, the women's VIP is waiting for a top-notch meal, but the women are not delivering. Jeremy and his guest are laughing as Ramsay yelled at them – I heard one of them say he will need therapy after this. DAMN! Finally, the chef's table's appetizers start coming out well.
The men, however, are not stepping up. They've got the numbers wrong on the lobster tails, and no long after, the lobster turns out overcooked, like bubblegum in your mouth instead of like butter. Finally, Anthony bounces back and the appetizers are done in both kitchens and it's full speed ahead on dinner.
Zach and Anthony are communicating, but all of a sudden, something Anthony does has things in confusion. The women are doing okay, but they need to keep things going. I don't think they're going to pull it off if Susan's lamb turns out raw again. Fingers crossed and … it's perfectly cooked! Congrats, Susan.
The blue team is still doing poorly, but Zach's lamb makes it out perfectly! Well done, Zach – way to bounce back for once.
Suddenly, Ja'nel cuts herself badly, and Ramsay calls a medic for her. The bleeding is bad – I'm worried about her.
Anthony's halibut comes out raw! Damn, dude. You are the weak link here! You blame Jon for not taking it seriously, and your stuff comes out raw, cooked, raw, cooked, then raw again! What the Hell?!
It's 90 minutes into dinner service, and Anthony is being taken back for 1-on-1 time with Ramsay, and the walls are SHAKING from Ramsay's shouting.
Finally, Ja'nel is back and trying to pick up where she left off. She's going a little slower, but hey, if I'd cut my finger like she did, I wouldn't be able to continue at all. The garnish comes out badly. Ja'nel is feeling bad, but the garnish for the VIP table comes out great. Anthony's halibut comes out great, and he's on cloud nine, but Zach raw beef stops everything. If it's not one, it's another. COME ON, ZACH! He has to wait 20 minutes for his Wellington's. Ramsay does something he almost never does – he takes extra perfectly cooked Wellington's from the women and sends them out. The dinners are happy, but all of a sudden, Susan starts fraternizing with Jeremy. WHAT THE F*CK?!
All the red team's customers are eating, but two tables are still waiting for the blue team's food. Zach is so behind, he's the hare in the race with the tortoise. Ramsay is raving and at him and his inability to cook efficiently. He's threatening to toss him out and take his jacket. Go ahead! He should have been gone weeks ago anyway!
It's 2.5 hours into the service, and Zach's sluggish cooking and excuses have got Ramsay running up all the walls at the same time! He finally decides to take over the cooking himself, taking over Zach's station. Zach tries to pick up the pieces, but Ramsay keeps telling him to shut up, and he doesn't! If you're upset about it, Zach, then don't cry about it, and F*CKING FIX YOURSELF!!!
Needless to say, the red team wins, and the blue team will lose another member and have to take another woman into their team. It's time for the women to decide who will be leaving their team and for Jon to decide who to throw out like rotten meat. Zach claims he's getting stronger in there, but I think he's just trying to avoid taking responsibility. Don't fall for it, Jon!
Ja'nel seems to be eager to join the men and help them. Susan supports her, but Cyndi knows how it is – joining them is like going into a black hole; you never come back!
It doesn't look like Jon is going to make a good decision – he's trying to look at it fairly, but he's disregarding the fact that only one of those two had to be replaced by Ramsay himself during dinner, not both.
It's time to make his choice, so Jon puts up … both?
Anthony and Zach have to defend themselves against Ramsay's decision. A losing battle, big time, especially for Zach – he sugar-coats everything and avoids responsibility at every opportunity.
The one to leave is … Anthony. WHAT?! Zach is save again?! What the F*CK?! Ramsay, you're making a mistake. Anthony has a more positive attitude than Zach and did not deserve to leave.
Ramsay calls Zach over and tells him to get back in line, but he'll be watching him like a hawk. He asks Susan to reveal their pick, and just as Ja'nel volunteered, she sends her to receive a blue jacket and go over to the men's team.
With her on their team, the blue team will be like a freight train without brakes, according to Jon. In my eyes, that is both a good thing and a bad thing. Anyone who watched Thomas & Friends years ago would know that a freight train without breaks always wrecks!
Next time, there seems to be trouble. Is Ja'nel the problem? Is it a conspiracy to drag the men down? Is someone going to get hurt?! I can't wait to find out next week!!!

Falsifiability is a fundamental property of a statement of it being possible to have counter-examples to (the search for these counter-examples is called falsification). According to Karl Popper, claims that are not falsifiable are considered to be outside the realm of science. This criterion is accepted by most of the worldwide scientific community.
Special creation is not falsifiable. There is no test which could show, even theoretically, that things were not specially created if they weren't. There is also no test which could show God didn't hire unicorns to create us if he didn't. Without falsifiability there are an infinite number of alternatives one can't prove, all of which have equal merit.
The Theory of Evolution is falsifiable. Had the fossil record been found to be static, it would have shown that species have not evolved. Had a mechanism been found that prevents, and has always prevented, genetic mutations from accumulating or being inherited, it would make evolution impossible. However, the opposite is true in both cases - those things were instead found to support the theory.

text: The LDS Church emphasizes leadership like no other. Because of the requirement that the Church be run by lay leaders who are frequently changed, leadership is a regular part of the curriculum, especially in priesthood classes. And, despite these efforts, the quality of leadership often varies. Inspiration, it seems, can only make up for a portion of a lack of leadership skill and talent.

Congratulations, you made it to the end of the week, despite a brutal heat wave and subsequent sweatfest. We've already brought you the city's best frozen yogurt, gelato, soft serve and ice cream sandwiches. Now celebrate the end of the really, really hot week with one of these cold ice cream-based concoctions. Milkshakes are the new sundaes, with crazy flavors, smashed cookie dough, booze, whipped cream and enormous straws. Here are New York City's best – both old and new.
Lexington Candy Shop
Pre-burger shop explosion, people got their shakes at a drugstore with a soda fountain, or a luncheonette, and the Lexington Candy Shop has been operating as both of them since 1925. The terminology is a little wonky—a milkshake is a 'frosted'—but nonetheless, this one is a classic.
Go Burger Truck
Food Truck Lunch: Falafel Burger & Milkshake From Go Burger
As its name implies, the Go Burger Truck is known for mouth-watering burgers — but they make thick, creamy milkshakes as well. The large versions come in chocolate and vanilla, and will cost you $4 each. They also offer smaller "milkshake shots" to quash your sweet craving after your lunch. Larger than a shot of alcohol, the shake shot cup is about the same height as the burger bun is wide (maybe 5 inches). It's about 4 ounces of shake for $1. The Go Burger truck makes the rounds of different neighborhoods. Track them down on Twitter here.
Another thing to love about milkshakes? Some restaurants add alcohol to them. Laurent Tourendel's BLT Burger doesn't stop at Kobe hot dogs and onion rings the size of 45s. His menu extras include vanilla milkshakes spiked with caramel and Makers Mark, or a coffee milkshake enhanced with a jig of Kahlua and espresso.
Five Napkin Burger
If you order a shake and sit at the bar at the Upper West side location, the bartender may serve you the extra on the side. The shakes are thick, made from Haagen Dazs and go for a reasonably low $6.
Danny Meyer's Shake Shack is the most mobbed burger and milkshake spot of them all — just take a look at all those suits lined up in Madison Square Park for hours to get their midday meal. In these hand-spun concoctions, Shake Shack combines soft serve with ice cream, then whips it with syrups and crazy ingredients like hot fudge and truffle cookie dough. Many fans prefer the traditional black and white or malted milk shake, but specialties include slated caramel, honey roasted peanut and thin mint.
Sundaes and Cones
A serene, white-paneled shop on tenth street serves some of the city's most sophisticated and unusual ice creams. The malted milkshake, however, is minimalist perfection, and not too thick to drink with a straw.
Steak 'n Shake, a classic burger chain with locations in 23 states across the country, sits right next to the Ed Sullivan Theater. The Theater District welcomed the new burger joint in early 2012. Here at CBSNewYork.com, we're big fans of the specialty Nutter Butter Shake, but you'll find classic flavors like banana, strawberry, and of course – good old vanilla and chocolate.
A '50's retro diner selling burgers, shakes and tater tots has a very credible milkshake for $3 in a few flavors such as the "Cookie Monster" with oreos, and the "Lucy in the Blue Sky" with bananas and strawberries. We love this Cotton Candy shake – topped with the stuff that will make you feel like a kid again. Weekdays beginning at 3 p.m., "happy hour" means half off all milkshakes.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Josh Donaldson added to his personal highlight reel and Scott Kazmir added to his all-star credentials.
Donaldson homered and the third baseman made another spectacular defensive play in foul ground, Kazmir allowed three hits over seven innings and the Oakland Athletics beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-1 on Saturday night.
''He's one of the toughest players in the American League,'' A's manager Bob Melvin said of Donaldson's running into a metal cylinder that holds the tarp to make a grab. ''He doesn't think and has no regard for his body.''
Donaldson compared it to a goal line stand in football.
''The last time I was kind of able to measure it up,'' he said. ''This time I was going full speed into it. I felt like a running back trying to score a touchdown right there.''
Coco Crisp, Craig Gentry and Jed Lowrie drove in runs for the A's, who won their third straight and seventh of 10 overall.
''When I was with Texas I saw Josh make a play just like that,'' said Gentry, who also made a big defensive play of his own in throwing out a runner at the plate from left field in the eighth. ''It's pretty amazing. That's a tough play.''
Kazmir (10-3) won for the fifth time in his last six decisions. He walked two and struck out eight, improving to 6-1 in eight home starts.
''After the first inning I felt pretty locked in,'' Kazmir said. ''I was able to use all my pitches, even ones that haven't been working for me lately. As I got myself into the game, I felt more comfortable.''
Toronto's Melky Cabrera, who had two hits, was thrown out at the plate to end the eighth. A review upheld the decision.
''This whole replay thing has become a joke in my eyes,'' Toronto outfielder Jose Bautista said. ''I think they should just ban it. They should just get rid of it. I don't really understand the purpose of it but getting the right call on the field is not the purpose. That's pretty obvious and evident.''
Bautista hit the double that Gentry fielded in the left field corner and threw to Lowrie, who threw to Derek Norris for the out.
''I don't know which replay they were looking at, but clearly they must have had a different video feed than the one we had,'' Bautista said. ''It's pretty frustrating for you to battle as a team, keep the game close, for our pitchers to be doing what they're doing, for us to keep grinding three games and facing tough pitching, and somehow be able to get an opportunity to tie the game in the eighth inning and it all goes down the drain because somebody first initially made a bad call to begin with, and then it gets upheld by God knows who in some room in New York.''
Edwin Encarnacion drove in a run in the first inning for the Blue Jays and then had to leave the game with right quad soreness.
Mark Buehrle (10-6) pitched well but remained winless in six starts since June 1. He gave up three runs and 10 hits over six innings. Buehrle walked one and struck out three. He had a four-game winning streak against the A's end.
On a day when the A's traded for two top pitchers, they turned to their steady veteran to extend their hold as the AL's best pitching staff.
Kazmir, who was the opposing pitcher when Buehrle threw his perfect game against the Tampa Bay Rays, retired 20 of 23 hitters after giving up singles to Jose Reyes and Melky Cabrera to start the game.
''Once he gets into rhythm he gets tough,'' Melvin said. ''We feel good when he's out there. For me, he's very deserving (all-star). He's been awfully consistent this year.''
Encarnacion was hurt beating out a possible double play ball, allowing Reyes to score and putting the Blue Jays ahead. Encarnacion stepped on the first base bag, limped for a few steps and then tumbled to the ground.
''I wouldn't guess it'd be a quick thing,'' Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. ''He'll get an MRI tomorrow or the next day and we'll have a little better idea. He said he felt something pop in his quad. That's all I know right now.''
Donaldson hit his 19th home run of the season, a solo shot over the fence in center field with two outs in the third to tie the game.
Crisp and Gentry hit bloop singles into right field that scored runs in the fourth. Lowrie added an RBI double in the eighth. He later scored on a passed ball.
''Buehrle is tough,'' Gentry said. ''He throws so many pitches. We were lucky enough to get some hits and push a couple of runs across.''
The Blue Jays are 2-7 over their past nine games and have dropped five straight on the road.
NOTES: The A's optioned LHP Tommy Milone to Triple-A Sacramento to pave the way for RHP Jeff Samardzija to make his A's debut on Sunday. ... The Blue Jays claimed OF Cole Gillespie off waivers from Seattle. He's expected to start Sunday. ... Bautista is expected to play in right field on Sunday after getting a couple days as DH to help him rest a sore hamstring. ... Blue Jays IF Steve Tolleson was held out of the starting lineup with a twisted ankle. ... RHP Drew Hutchinson (6-6, 3.81) will start Sunday's series finale for the Blue Jays. Hutchinson struck out a season-high 10 in his last start, a 4-1 victory over Milwaukee. ... Oakland newcomer Jeff Samardzija is 0-2 with a 3.91 ERA over his last four starts. ... A's 1B Brandon Moss was not in the lineup after spraining his ankle on Friday. ''It's sore, but it's nothing serious,'' Moss said.

America's Best CEOs – This list of CEOs was published on Forbes, ranking best to worse from data collected by DeMarche, and with that comes America's top performer. The company is Amazon and the title goes to Jeffrey P. Bezos. He has earned an average of $1.4 million in total compensation, most of which is the company's cost of security provided to him.
Bezos has delivered a 30% annual return to shareholders over the past six years. Since he took his company public in May 1997, he has delivered an annual 36% return to shareholders, which is significantly better than the 5% annual return for the S&P 500 over that period.
Following Bezos to round out the top five: last year's best CEO, Marc Benioff of Salesforce.com; Bob Sasser of Dollar Tree: Neal Patterson of Cerner and Leonard Bell of Alexion Pharmaceutical.

Oil Price Fluctuates Near $85 Ahead Of Election
The price of oil is slightly higher as investors remain cautious ahead of the U.S. presidential election. They're also assessing how much demand for oil has dropped in the storm-stricken Northeast.
Benchmark oil rose 31 cents to $85.16 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. On Friday, oil slumped $2.23 to close at $84.86 a barrel.
Brent crude, which is used to price international varieties of oil, rose 17 cents to $105.85 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
AAA says the national average price for gasoline has dropped 7 cents in the past week to $3.47 per gallon. But gas prices have risen slightly since last Monday in New York and New Jersey, where the energy infrastructure was battered by Superstorm Sandy.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
A new report hit the Web today that doesn't paint a pretty picture for the future for Microsoft's Windows OS, its principle moneymaker. The report, from Gartner, sees tablets becoming the dominant form of personal computer (after mobile phones) in the next few years at the expense of traditional desktop PCs, even as total numbers of new users are on the upswing.
While Microsoft does have tablets and other mobile devices, it's still kept its principle focus on Windows for desktops and laptops – a market that Gartner predicts will drop by 7.6% by units shipped just this year. The report specifically notes that it's likely a signal of a long-term trend, not a temporary decline. It also has "ultramobile" PCs – super-slim, less powerful laptop-like devices – contributing to the traditional computer's downfall.
As for market share, Gartner's report predicts Google's Android OS being on top for mobile devices with Microsoft slightly surpassing Apple for the number two spot for mobile OS. The report maintains that tablets will become the primary computing device for most users globally, but that there will still be some demand for desktops and laptops for power users and professionals.
In other words, don't count Microsoft out in the next few years, but it will have to concentrate on its mobile strategy to maintain the profits it's become so accustomed to. Microsoft, though, seems to understand this, as rumors that it's working on new, smaller form factor tablets continue to make the rounds.

Pinsky opened up about the controversial abortion special at the Television Critics Association's Winter Press Tour while promoting his new HLN talk show.
"That made me very uncomfortable for many reasons," says Pinsky, "but I felt the conversation was worth having."
In addition to the fact that he had to keep his opinions to himself — something he admits he's not used to — Pinsky was worried how it might be edited. "We filmed for two or three hours," he says, "I may not like how the story goes."
He seems pleased with the outcome though, possibly due in part to the fact that the discussion he moderated didn't elicit too many surprises for him.
"I'm like a prosecuting attorney," says Pinsky. "I know what the answers are before I ask the question."

Sitters briefly occupy another tree at Cal
Published 4:00 am, Thursday, July 24, 2008
Score one for the Berkeley tree-sitters.
Hours after UC Berkeley won a court decision Tuesday allowing a long-blocked athletic training center to be built next to Memorial Stadium, supporters of illegal tree-sitters occupying the project's site commandeered a new tree on the main campus and strung ropes from it to the besieged aerial protesters.
But late in the day, campus officials reached an agreement with the protesters to remove the lines and abandon the newly occupied tree, UC Berkeley spokesman Dan Mogulof said.
Campus officials were stunned Wednesday morning to find two more tree-sitters able to travel with ease and, at least initially, send supplies across Piedmont Avenue on newly strung lines. They joined three other protesters who have been isolated in a single tree in a grove at the site where the athletic center would go.
Mogulof said the campus agreed to allow a bag of food to be delivered each day to the trees-sitters. Also, one additional protester can join the three who had been in the tree at the site, and Wednesday's other tree-ascender will come down and not be charged with any offense, he said. The tree-sitters agreed to lower their human waste to the ground each day, he said.
The agreement was reached about 5 p.m., and the new ropes were expected to be removed Wednesday night, he said. The campus agreed to the deal in part because the ropes extending over a busy sidewalk and street posed "a very significant safety issue," he said.
Mogulof said he had no idea how the ropes were strung, but that they apparently went up in the early morning. A wide cordon of fences and guards rings the original tree-protest site.
The new ropes appeared to extend about 200 feet and passed over the roof of a campus building at 2224 Piedmont Ave.
With Tuesday's ruling by Alameda County Superior Court Judge Barbara Miller allowing Cal to proceed with its plan for the project, the campus is "considering a number of options that'll make life in the trees far more difficult but not dangerous," Mogulof said. He declined to specify what options are being reviewed.
The training center was blocked by a court injunction in February 2007, following lawsuits against the project by the City of Berkeley, the California Oak Foundation and a neighborhood group, the Panoramic Hill Association.
Stephan Volker, attorney for the California Oak Foundation, said Wednesday he plans to appeal the ruling today or Friday. Miller's ruling kept the current injunction in place for a week to let an appeal be filed.
Volker said the foundation will also go back to Superior Court Aug. 12 seeking to have Miller's ruling vacated or to be given a new trial.
The Berkeley City Council meets in closed session at 5 p.m. today to discuss the city's next steps.
Tree-protest supporter Zachary Running Wolf said the single energy bar that the campus had been providing to the tree-sitters was inadequate. "This reason this happened was basically a lack of nutrition," he said of the overnight occupation of the new tree.

Ben Moores, left, and Gena Willenberg, right, were recently beaten in separate incidents in the UK — because of how they look.
When emo and heavy metal fans are stoned to death in Iraq, it's easier to dismiss it as something that happens "over there."
But in recent weeks, two people have been brutally attacked in separate incidents in the UK, revealing that violent mob behavior is still happening right here.
Gena Willenberg, an American expat, was surrounded by a gang of teenagers in Edinburgh, Scotland, in late March. First came the verbal abuse: "They started shouting at me and my friend that we were f****** goths and they were going to kick our f****** heads in," she said.
Then the physical assault began.
"We turned our back and just kept going and that was when they attacked me. One of them tried to smash a bottle over the back of my head, but fortunately it didn't break. Then they started punching and kicking me.
"I fell to the ground and they just kept on kicking me. My friend tried to stop them from stamping on me and they attacked her, too.
"There was one girl in the group and she pulled my hair back so one of her friends could kick me in the face."
Goths have not fared well in recent years in the UK, with attacks on Melody McDermott and Sophie Lancaster, the latter of whom died of her injuries.
Not far from where Lancaster was attacked in a Bacup, England, park, metalhead Ben Moores was recently beaten in a similar incident. The 16-year-old was was called "mosher" and "freak" as he was punched and kicked to the ground by up to 15 people behind a Co-op supermarket in Waterfoot, 2 miles from Bacup.
Moores recalls:
Clumps of his hair were pulled out and his head and wrists were stamped on. He suffered bruising to his head and body but escaped serious injury.
"When they got me on the floor I thought I was going to die. There was no stopping them – they wouldn't let me up. I had blood all over my face by the end. When I was getting kicked and stamped in my head and on my wrists and my hair was being pulled out, there was nothing I could do. Thinking about it now makes me shiver in shock. They were only doing it because of the way I look and because I've got long hair and like heavy metal music."
Seven of his attackers are currently in jail.
There are some ways to fight this. If you see a group going after an individual for the way they dress, it might not be best to get involved — but calling the police is a good idea. Walking a goth or metalhead friend home can help keep attackers at bay.
On a more meta level, you can support the Sophie Lancaster Foundation, which has a number of campaigns working to end discrimination and violence against subcultures in the UK.
