Logitech's Premium Guitar Hero Controller

Posted by www.yourforum.gr, 14 Dec 2008, 04:33 AM

The Guitar Hero has always offered players a chance to simulate their rock-and-roll fantasies of performing on stage for rabid fans. Now they're getting a chance to simulate the vainglorious excess of the rock-and-roll lifestyle, as Logitech today unveiled a $250 Guitar Hero World Tour controller set for release in December.




Amazon.com: 250$ = 187€

Amazon.co.uk: 150£ = 166€

I am quite happy to announce that shopping in Europe rocks !!!

I waited to see this on Amazon.co.uk and now i am eager to play GH World Tour using the Legend of Guitar controllers...

The only bad thing is the price... costs as much as the total Band Edition of GH World Tour

Current Projects

Posted by www.yourforum.gr, 30 Oct 2008, 11:00 PM

There have been some improvements / upgrades lately :

• www.allsigs.org - upgraded to IPB 2.3.6 + latest Gallery / Downloads, now also using reCAPTCHA instead of GD2. Spammers eliminated.
  
• www.remoters.org - upgraded from 2.3.0 to 2.3.6 and everything works fine with the SubDreamer integration. Plus, using reCAPTCHA again with no spammers around.
  
• www.fileminers.com - after using a really crappy, useless script ( AskMePro from alstrasoft ) we got hacked in a month online. They never provided a serious patch against their security flaws so i decided to toss the script.
  
• We have scheduled a www.yourforum.gr Gallery, Blog and IP.Downloads update later in November and we are eager to see IPB 3 out by the end of the year. Be warned though, we will not use it as soon as it comes on this website but we would rather utilize this on other websites of the www.forumsandmore.com webring.
  
• There is absolutely no plan of an InvisionGames script update, everything is running smoothly even with IPB 2.1.7 so we will go on with that only after we are sure we can migrate all data successfully.

Cheers !

Jet Lag: Definition

Posted by www.yourforum.gr, 5 Sep 2008, 01:48 AM

Jet lag, also jetlag or jet-lag, is a physiological condition which is a consequence of alterations to circadian rhythms; it is classified as one of the circadian rhythm sleep disorders. Such disturbances result from rapid transmeridian travel, as on a jet plane, shift work, daylight saving time or chronic congenital disorders. They are known as desynchronosis, dysrhythmia, dyschrony, jet lag, or jet syndrome. The condition is generally believed to be the result of disruption of the "light/dark" cycle that controls the body's circadian rhythms.

The condition of jet lag may last many days, and medical experts have deemed that a recovery rate of "one day per time zone" is a fair guideline.[citation needed] Good sleep hygiene promotes rapid recovery from jet lag: in fact sleep, relaxation, moderate exercise, and sensible diet seem to be the simplest recovery methods.

Following certain behaviors that affect the time one will fall asleep can be used as a strategy for overcoming jet lag. Such are taking vs not taking afternoon naps, having a late vs an early dinner, having a protein-rich dinner vs a carbohydrates-rich dinner.

For example, with eastward travel, when one needs to fall asleep (and get up) earlier and earlier each day in order to catch up with the local night-day cycle, one should avoid taking afternoon naps and eating protein-rich foods for dinner which will only delay one's readiness to fall a sleep. The opposite strategy can be used when traveling west, when one needs to fall asleep later and later each day in order to "fall back" to the local night-day cycle.

Throughout the duration of jet lag recovery it is important to maintain a solid amount of sleep each day in order minimize mental disturbances.

Since the experience of jet lag varies among individuals, it is difficult to assess the efficacy of any single remedy. Age may also be a factor on the severity of jet lag, as younger people will suffer worse jet lag than older people would[1].

Women of reproductive age are more susceptible to jet lag than are men;[2] this is in part because estrogen is often vulnerable to jet lag-like conditions[3].

Most chemical and herbal remedies, including the hormone melatonin, have not been tested nor approved by official agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Few studies have tested the use of melatonin for jet lag and they've given mixed results, likely because the timing of administration needs to be precise and individualized.

A recent study in hamsters showed that sildenafil (also known commercially as Viagra) aided in a 50% faster recovery from shifts comparable to eastward travel experienced by humans and was effective starting at low doses.[4] However, this use has not been tested in humans and is considered an off-label use by the drug's manufacturers.
