Malted Espresso Cupcakes with Coffee Buttercream
Here's a little cupcake that will lift you right out of a mid-afternoon funk. It will make you smile and skip...at the same time!
Malted Espresso Cupcakes topped with Coffee Buttercream
Be still.
My heart.
You know you want one.
It's topped with a Whopper after all. You know you can't resist that. Or maybe it's just me that can't resist Whoppers? I can't be the only one.
I just really like to say "Whopper" too.
Anway! Let's get down to business here and talk about what makes this cupcake so good...seriously good. The cupcake is flavored with malted milk powder, coffee and a little instant espresso powder. I tossed in some chopped bittersweet chocolate because it seemed like the right thing to do. The frosting is a simple buttercream with coffee, Kahlua and espresso added in to make it special!
I really enjoyed these little cupcakes. I hope you do too. Make some!
(Oh, and by the way, I wouldn't give these to the kiddies just before bed. Just sayin'...)
Malted Espresso Cupcakes with Coffee Buttercream
Source: adapted from Julie Hasson in 125 Best Cupcake Recipes
(get the printable recipe here)
yield: 12
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp instant espresso powder
1/2 cup malted milk powder
1/4 cup freshly brewed coffee
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
2 eggs
2 oz. bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped
1. Preheat oven to 350. Line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
2. In a small bowl, mix together flour, baking powder and salt.
3. In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together malted milk powder, espresso powder and coffee until smooth.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, butter and eggs until smooth. Alternately whisk in flour mixture with coffee mixture, beating until smooth. Gently fold in chopped chocolate.
5. Scoop batter into prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and tops of cupcakes spring back when lightly touched. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove cupcakes from pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
Coffee Buttercream
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 cups confectioners' sugar
pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp instant espresso powder
2 tsp hot coffee
2 tsp Kahlua
Stir together vanilla, instant espresso powder, coffee and Kahlua until smooth; set aside. In a medium bowl, beat butter, sugar and salt until well combined and smooth. Add coffee mixture and continue to beat until frosting is light and fluffy. Spread icing over cooled cupcakes.

|A Fractal Function Related to the John-Nirenberg Inequality for $Q_{\alpha}({\mathbb R^n})$
A borderline case function $f$ for $ Q_{\alpha}({\mathbb R^n})$ spaces is defined as a Haar wavelet decomposition, with the coefficients depending on a fixed parameter $\beta>0$. On its support $I_0=[0, 1]^n$, $f(x)$ can be expressed by the binary expansions of the coordinates of $x$. In particular, $f=f_{\beta}\in Q_{\alpha}({\mathbb R^n})$ if and only if $\alpha<\beta<\frac{n}{2}$, while for $\beta=\alpha$, it was shown by Yue and Dafni that $f$ satisfies a John--Nirenberg inequality for $ Q_{\alpha}({\mathbb R^n})$. When $\beta\neq 1$, $f$ is a self-affine function. It is continuous almost everywhere and discontinuous at all dyadic points inside $I_0$. In addition, it is not monotone along any coordinate direction in any small cube. When the parameter $\beta\in (0, 1)$, $f$ is onto from $I_0$ to $[-\frac{1}{1-2^{-\beta}}, \frac{1}{1-2^{-\beta}}]$, and the graph of $f$ has a non-integer fractal dimension $n+1-\beta$.
Keywords:Haar wavelets, Q spaces, John-Nirenberg inequality, Greedy expansion, self-affine, fractal, Box dimension

Ports. company faces $90g EPA fine for lead paint violations
Tuesday, February 26, 2013
BOSTON — New Hampshire Plate Glass Corp., based in Portsmouth, N.H., faces a penalty of up to $90,750 for allegedly violating requirements designed to protect children from exposure to lead-based paint during painting and other renovation activities.
EPA's RRP Rule is designed to prevent exposure to lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards. The rule requires individuals performing renovations for compensation at most pre-1978 housing and child-occupied facilities to be properly trained. There are certification and training requirements for individual renovators and firms performing renovations to ensure that safe work practices are followed during renovations. The rule became effective on April 22, 2010 and allows for the assessment of penalties that may reach up to a maximum of $37,500 per violation per day.

I hate you hipsters. You make the world a worse place. Every time I go out and I see all you losers sitting there at the bar with your shitty attitudes and bad fashion sense I just want to grab your Pabst Blue Ribbon bottle and start beating you over the head with it. I know, that will ruin your ironic haircut and that would be such a shame, but at least you'll write a shitty Emo song about it later.
Worldwide hipsterism is on the rise. It is ruining entire countries and making single dude travel destinations like New Orleans much much worse. France is all hipsters. This movement must be stopped before it spreads everywhere … [Read more]

Okay, so this is finally, for real, the last strip in the New Year's storyline! I owe some credit for this strip to HeirToPendragon, a Multiplex forum regular who prompted the exchange that turned into this strip (a comment of his regarding Whitey's Cast Page became Wesley's dialogue, and my response became Franklin's). So, thanks, H2P!

Tell me a story. (Looking for a prose writer for an eBook single.)
Sunday, March 29, 2015
I want to take a foray into electronic publishing.
I am looking for a (prose) writer to provide a short story, novella or non-fiction story that I will turn into an iBooks-formatted eBook for sale (in the iBookstore), released under my Chase Sequence publishing imprint. Chase Sequence published Multiplex: There and Back Again, which won the 2014 IPBA Gold Medal for Best Graphic Novel/Drawn Book–Humor/Cartoon, so technically it is an award-winning publisher.
There is no limitation with regard to genre, but I will say that my taste in prose leans strongly toward literary fiction and non-fiction, and toward characters, psychology, and well-written prose over plot. (Margaret Atwood is my favorite writer.)
What to Submit: A pitch for a 30+ page, prose short story/novella/non-fiction piece. No comics — no picture books. If you have already written the short story, great, but it must be previously unpublished. Please include links or URLs to a resumé and examples of previous published work would be helpful, to give me a feel for your voice.
Send questions (or submissions) to gordon at multiplexcomic.com.
The Terms: No money up front, but 50% of the cover price in exchange for one year of exclusivity (from the date of publication). The writer retains all other rights to their story. These will be sold via iBooks only (at least at first), which means that Apple will get 30% and I will get 20% for my contributions: I will edit the story; I will design and produce the eBook; I will illustrate a cover for it (or hire someone else to, if I'm not the best fit for the story); I will help promote it.
Please submit your pitch before April 30, 2015. I will notify the selected writer(s) I am interested in working with as soon as possible after that.

Companies handling written media currently have an overwhelming amount of information on their hands in the form of texts, photos, videos, etc and are desperate for any type of tool which helps them to catalogue and search efficiently this mass of multimedia content, one which allows professionals to be freed from long tedious processes so that they can do their work in the most efficient manner possible.
In this regard, solutions based on semantic enrichment technologies which concentrate on the tasks of cataloguing, processing and analysing information, which stop media companies from being swept away by an uncontrolled deluge of content, are now vitally important. These technologies offer the company a whole range of possibilities that enable professionals to function in an intelligent, quick, dynamic and simple manner, thus allowing them to make the most of content in the least possible time.
The goal of semantic technologies is to equip with greater intelligence all content self-cataloguing, enrichment, search and recovery processes which are carried out in the media. Of these, it is worth highlighting fuzzy, natural language or multilingual searches. These technologies thus offer a whole series of instruments that facilitate and improve the day-to-day work both of those responsible for archiving content and those in the newsroom in general, always giving pride of place to efficiency and rigour.
In addition, the ability to control a large amount of content which is directly handled by a media company also opens up profit-making possibilities, through various marketing strategies. The aim is to have this massive volume of content perfectly organised and managed in a consistent and simple manner so that, where appropriate, a totally secure commercial outlet can be found for it.

ETX woman indicted, charged with mailing laced letters to President Obama, NYC mayor
POSTED: Friday, June 28, 2013 - 12:36pm
UPDATED: Friday, June 28, 2013 - 12:36pm
A Texas woman has been indicted and charged with mailing ricin-laced letters to President Obama and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a U.S. attorney's office in Texas said Friday.
Shannon Richardson, 35, also known as Shannon Rogers and Shannon Guess, initially told the FBI that her husband, Nathaniel, sent the ricin-laced letters, but a polygraph exam found her to be "deceptive" on the matter, court papers said.
Investigators found that her computer storage devices contained the text of threatening letters sent to the president, but the couple's computer records show her husband couldn't have printed them out because he was at work at the time, an FBI arrest affidavit said.

Technically, HURD isn't a microkernel, but microkernel services on top of a microkernel.
Why am I saying this? Because there is also stalled effort to ditch Mach with its flaws for another L4 kernel, but that kernel development stalled due to the guy working on it being busy, so Mach is being used, but not developped for.
So why wasting resources on Mach? They are not; because HURD services use an interface with Mach, that when ported, being able to use all that work on other kernels if desired. So that why they call it services rather than a microkernel. It's also why they don't work on driver specific things like SATA directly.
The (untainted/libre) Linux kernel is GPLv2 (not just his, but a dream license of us all) anyway, and there are also distros which actually entirely consist of free software only. Hurd is currently not even on the high priority projects list of FSF.
I think that's what you missed.
Don't have many issues with graphics drivers here...
Just about any core Windows library, service, or kernel update takes a reboot; with Linux, libraries just mean running ldconfig (which dpkg/apt/... run automatically), and services are just "service xyz restart".
The kernel still takes a reboot, unless you know what you're doing (hint: ksplice)
The "interesting updates"--that would be like Windows Vista -> Seven.
You're confusing Canonical's representation of reality with how Linux actually works.

Hi: 10° Lo:1°
By Jamie Arrowsmith Thursday 03 January 2013 Updated: 03/01 12:16
THE HARKAWAY Club defied the weather to stage their point-to-point meeting at Chaddesley Corbett on Friday morning, on a day when the stamina of spectators was tested as much as the horses.
Himbleton jockey Phine Banks and Horsham Lad scored a shock victory over the odds on favourite Promising Anshan in the AGA sponsored Ladies Open.
There was not much between the five runners at the final open ditch but the race developed in earnest as they climbed the hill where Big Game Hunter, Horsham Lad and Promising Anshan settled down to fight out the finish.
Horsham Lad was relishing the muddy conditions and had seen off the challenge of Big Game Hunter at the second from home but as he started to drop back Gina Andrews was poised to make her challenge.
The confidence of favourite backers quickly evaporated because Promising Anshan could not summon up sufficient reserves to pass Horsham Lad who stayed on dourly to prevail by a length.
"Horsham Lad was Fergal's first winner when he started training under Rules, so the horse is special to us," reported winning trainer Jelly O'Brien. "Phine rode well and did exactly what we agreed prior to the race."
With her daughter weighing in, the jockey's mother Christine explained: "We acquired Horsham Lad after we asked if we could have first refusal if my sister and brother-in-law William and Angela (Rucker) decided to sell."
Miss Banks works for the Ministry of Defence and as owner/rider the 24-year-old picked up a plethora of AGA goodies from their representative David Simpson after the race.
Race times had been brought forward 30 minutes in anticipation of multiple divisions later in the day, but due to the conditions these failed to materialise.
Gloucestershire jockey Sam Drinkwater enjoyed a successful day with two seconds and a winner and he could be a major player in this years Riders Championship.
Drinkwater used similar tactics on all three occasions and as a result he returned with his colours in pristine condition while everybody else was covered in mud.
He sent Le Burf to the front from the start of the Conditions until they were passed by Silver Token in the home straight and then fought back bravely to get within three-quarters of a length of the winner as they passed the judge.
Drinkwater went one better in the following Restricted when Trouble Digger fought off the persistent challenge of Prof De L'Isle over the final two fences before another second place was secured by Dammam in the Mens Open.
Dammam finished runner-up to Cottage Oak and that horses connections were dreaming of Cheltenham glory after the race. Co-owners Richard Hewitt and Cheshire trainer Joe O'Shea fear nothing with this nine-year-old son of Flemensfirth and have an ambitious programme mapped out for the future.
Zara Phillips was out of luck with her two runners. Fiddle Faddle was pulled up in the Non-Rules Runners Maiden which went to I Believe while stablemate First Watch went at the final open ditch in the open Maiden which was won by Bringinthebranston the second leg of a double for Welsh owner/Trainer David Brace.
Results: Harkaway Club Members Conditions - 1st Silver Token 14/1, 2nd Le Buef, 3rd Vic Venturi; Harkaway Club Members Restricted - 1st Trouble Digger 7/1, 2nd Prof De L'isle, 3rd Roseyroo; AGA Ladies Open - 1st Horsham Lad 7/1; Promising Anshan, 3rd Big Game Hunter; Mens Open - 1st Cottage Oak 5/2; Dammam, 3rd Officier De Reserve; Harkaway Club Members Non-Rules Runners Maiden - 1st I Believe 14/1, 2nd Shales Rock; Harkaway Club Members Maiden - 1st Bringinthebranston 6/1; 2nd Aboo Dreamer.

Operational Excellence: Antidote for Slow Growth Markets

In slow growing markets, organizations must make adjustments to continue to be profitable. Operational excellence-- the ability of a company to efficiently and effectively deliver value to its customers- is a proven strategy for ensuring growth in profitability, even while revenues are in the low single digits. This webcast will delve into strategies and examples of operational excellence.
According to a recent global study by The Conference Board (TCB), operational excellence was a top concern of CEOs globally. Bart van Ark, EVP and chief economist for TCB, will delve into the recent results of the global CEO Challenge Survey to uncover information that's most relevant to corporate leaders. His remarks will include a review of the strategies CEOs think best drive improvements in key business performance metrics. Then, Chris Baker, a senior executive for a large international gas distribution firm, will discuss how Sepra's OpEx 20/20 program transformed the productivity and effectiveness of many of the company's front-line employees.
Audience: Professionals and leaders in these disciplines: operational excellence process improvement, Six Sigma, quality, customer experience, strategy, marketing, market research, brand, manufacturing, human resources, finance

If the stress in your life is more than you can cope with, get help right away.
A recurrent and important theme in the blog comments over the past few weeks has been the issue of end-of-life decisions and quality of life.
One of the greatest gifts that you can give your family and yourself is a living will or advance directives to document your wishes related to end-of-life care. Advance directives guide your care in two ways:
It was recently brought home to me just how important advance directives can be. While on hospital assignment, I saw a gentleman who was a professional basketball referee. While working in a summer league, he'd had a massive hemorrhage into his brain and lapsed into a coma. There was no reasonable probability of improvement in his condition, so I was asked to talk with the family concerning end-of-life and comfort measures. Around the patient's bedside were his wife and two devoted adult sons. Each was painfully conflicted as to how aggressive to be to sustain their loved one's life.
When I visited with the family the next day, they shared a document they'd found in their father's desk at home. He'd clearly written out in his own hand that he did not want any artificial hydration, nutrition, or breathing or kidney machines if there was no likelihood of improvement. This document provided tremendous relief for the family, since they now knew how to act in accordance with their loved one's wishes.
Please take time to document your wishes today. No one knows what tomorrow may bring.

Living an active, fruitful life is living....whereas, being in a vegetative state is merely existing. Shame on our society for allowing trillions of dollars to be wasted on futile healthcare. Shame on our society for not allowing preventative healthcare (which promotes living) to be a priority.
this is a very nice post thanks for sharing this i really like this ...
My 5 children have copies of my living will. I personally believe that there are worse things than dying. I choose to relieve my children of the guilt of "letting me go" and I choose to die completely as opposed to what I call half-gone; that is when the brain is dead and there is no hope for improvement but the body is kept alive by technology.
While I enjoy life and I have the natural instinct to avoid death that we are all born with, I am not afraid to die.
Your note was right on. I plan to make my wishes written down soon. Thanks for the reminder.
Sergio, if you have an advanced directive then you can decide about how you want to die. The issues are complex and require thought and planning. We begin to die when we are born. None of us should leave it to our family caregivers to decide. If any reader has had to make a decision for a family member without a directive, then I would say that you likely did you best. That is is all your relative would want.
An Advanced Directive is not legal euthanasia. What is not understood is people kept "alive" by artificial means are DEAD! They (Soul or whatever you believe makes them who they are) have left their body and they are now just mechanized hulls, machines stopping the "physical" dying /shutting down process.
Just because Science now allows for artificial life doesn't make it right to employ it.
What used to be a medically based doctor's decision is now the decision of families and friends who base decisions on how it makes them feel. If they feel guilty, person's BODY kept alive (thanks to law suits now too). If a child/teenager/young, person's BODY kept alive, and so on ....
My husband and I have advanced directives and our children at this time are in agreement with our wishes. I have heard of families who won't follow directives because they have guilt feelings about allowing their parents to die. When the quality of life is gone and there is no hope what is the reason for not following directives. I have seen more money spent uselessly when there is no hope. I want to go to heaven when it's time for my life to be over and not be hooked up to machines.
It is not euthanasia to do a advance directive or living will. If we had lived in Jesus' time we would have died naturally without the use of machines or IV's. Show me in the bible where it says we should be hooked up to a machine to live as a vegetable!!! I wish my mother who died of Alzheimers would have had an advance directive or living will.
That is a frank permissive form of euthanasia
We have just updated our health care directives and had a family meeting with our three children---they are all "on board" with our wishes. As our daughter said "I"ll never do to you what my cousin did to your brother" his last six weeks of life were in a hospital under conditions he would NOT have wanted. A relationship with a family care doctor who also understands this also helps. We chose to do this since my husband has just been diagnoses with mild Alzheimer's---he continues to function well and tutor in a correctional facility; they know him and want him to continue as long as he can. We know the time will come when strong decisions need to be made and we're trying to have our wishes known strongly.
Having advance directives is better than not having them at all. I am a daughter who made a decision to refuse a treatment and allow my 93 year old mother a natural death, in the care of hospice whose only direction from her was, "you'll know what to do." I would have more peace today if she had been more clear about her choices.
We need to voice our choices and choose someone we trust to honor those choices.
In principle Advanced Directives are great & these documents may work well in a fancy facility such as yours. I am not fully convenienced in poorly staffed health care settings they function as well-- in respect to adequate nursing care resources being allocated when push comes to shove to patients with directives. On paper directives are very good, but they are only as good in practice as the compassion of the health care settings management if you know what I mean.

Mushroom, Spinach and Feta Omelet
Omelets are a really nice weekend breakfasts. An omelet is eggs cooked in a pan and then folded over some kind of filling. The filling can be whatever you want it to be. The combinations of fillings are almost endless. This time I filled my omelet with sauteed mushrooms, spinach, feta and dill. Omelets are pretty easy to make though you want to be careful that the egg does not stick to the pan. Using a non-stick pan and some butter really helps.
1/2 tablespoon butter
4 ounces mushrooms (sliced)
2 ounces spinach
1 tablespoon dill (chopped)
a touch of butter
3 eggs (lightly beaten.
1 ounce feta (crumbled)
1. Melt the butter in a small pan.
2. Add the mushrooms and saute until golden brown.
3. Add the spinach and saute until wilted.
4. Add the dill and the mixture aside.
5. Melt the butter in a small pan.
6. Add the eggs and spread them out to cover the entire bottom of the pan.
7. Cook the eggs until the top is almost set.
8. Place the mushroom mixture and the feta on one half of the eggs.
9. Fold the uncovered half of the eggs on to the spinach mixture.

Mickelson finishes off Phoenix Open
Monday, February 4, 2013
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Phil Mickelson completed a wire-to-wire victory in the Phoenix Open, again flirting with history in a dominating four-day run at TPC Scottsdale.
Mickelson had his third wire-to-wire victory and first since the 2006 BellSouth Classic -- a 13-stroke blowout the week before the second of his three Masters victories. He pushed his victory total to 41, winning for the first time since 51 weeks ago at Pebble Beach.
After the rain stopped, Mickelson bogeyed the par-4 second hole and birdied the two front-nine par 3s, pulling off his best shot of the day on No. 7.
Snedeker pulled within three again on the par-3 16th, hitting to 5 feet on the stadium hole. Mickelson's 15-footer slid by the right edge.

Digimon Masters is a point-and-click style MMORPG by Digitalic. Originally released in South Korea in 2009, it finally hits the North American market, bringing along with it a plethora of catchable critters, and the world fans of the show have come to know and love. Save the digi-world using 3 different customizable trainers, and dozens of different digimons of all types and flavors. Though a late arrival compared to its asian release, this is a game Digimon fans will want to try out.

Digimon Masters Online Overview
Digimon Masters is a MMORPG by Digitalic that happens to mostly be known for a previous Digimon game named Digimon Battle Online. It puts players in the role of a variety of trainers boasting different stats, and lets them pick amongst a few starting digimons before sending them out into the world. If you're a fan of the show who dreams of nothing less than riding your own digimon around then try this game. Otherwise, you might find this a pale contender to the many other free games out there. Alternatively, it boasts an interesting capture mechanic that might catch the interest of some, or prove tedious to others. This is one of those cases where you either love it or hate it.

Digimon Masters Online Review
By Jerrico Tan (JetSet)
Digimon Masters is a free-to-play MMORPG by Aeria Games and Joymax based on the hit franchise Digimon. Loosely based on the fifth anime's storyline (Digital Data Squad), this game lets players experience the life of being a Digimon Tamer. With a vast list of Digimons to hatch and evolve as their main selling point, we'll take a closer look as to whether this game from its long running franchise would still be able to hit both avid fans and newcomers alike.
Gameplay: Game Mechanics and Combat
The game starts off by giving players a choice to pick an avatar based on the four protagonists from the fifth anime, together with one of the four starter Digimons. As an avid fan of the first generation anime, I was initially eyeing on picking the famous spiky haired kid with goggles (Taichi), until I later found out that the first gen tamer avatars were only playable if you purchased them in the cash shop. And Taichi was worth $10! That was a total bummer for my part but at least the all-time favorite Agumon can become one of your first digi-buddies for free!
After the character creation sequence, a set of tutorial quests are setup as soon as the town hall loads up for the first time. Like always, the tutorial quests are there to get players a chance to familiarize the game's mechanics. The learning process is easy and young gamers wouldn't have a hard time adapting to its environment. As for the controls, character movements are only maneuverable by mouse and WASD movements are not applicable (commanding your Digimon is just one smooth mouse click or hotkey away). The map and NPC search features are also there just in case you get lost in the Digiworld. Enabling the Search features pops up an arrow that'll guide you to your destination but unfortunately, the map system doesn't have an auto-find feature so you'd still have to walk it out manually. So generally speaking, playing Digimon Masters feels very similar to a lot of well-crafted titles around the market in terms of interface.
The combat system in this game is somewhat altered if you'll compare it to usual MMORPGs. Digimon Masters focuses on your Digimon's development instead of the tamer so it may also look like the tamer is just a mere pack mule picking up scraps dropped by each defeated wild Digimon. As for leveling up, the only way to progress in this game is through grinding and questing. These quests also let players learn more about the storyline and farming is plain easy for there are LOTS of digital monsters roaming around the world just waiting to spar against your partner.
Digimon Development and Digi-egg Hatching
Getting your Digimons to reach a certain level would also let them learn how to Digi-volve to their next forms. The skillsets change on each evolution and its lethal potency becomes stronger in each evolution stage. The DATS center could help enchant your Digimon with more attributes as long as you have the needed materials for the enchanting procedure and additionally, there exists a Digimental system, which is basically a system to unlock ten elemental crests that will determine your Digimon's elemental attribute.
There are only two ways to acquire additional Digimon mercenaries in game. The hard way is to tediously farm up monsters until you get a Digi-egg of a certain basic Digimon after which you'd want to say a prayer to the gods that your egg could successfully complete at least three of five DATA injection phases. The other method (and easier one) is to pay up real money and buy a special Digi-egg with a 100% rate of hatching. For gamers aiming to play this game without coughing out a single cent, hatching Digi-eggs is the cruelest part in the game. I guess this is the only portion where spending cash matters and where normal players would really feel a huge gap between them and cash-spending players.
Social Features
Training Digimons with more players is the best way to enjoy the game. If you're seeking help to achieve your Digimon's training, there is a party and guild system that'll add more spice during monster farming and when taking quests. There's also a PvP arena where players could duke it out and see which one's got a better partner. Furthermore, fellow players run the game's economy and everyone can put up a shop that'll stay up and running even when they're away from their keyboards. These key social features offer gamers a chance to interact with each other. Unfortunately though, the game seems to focus more heavily on collecting Digimons, and as a result the developers appear to have not given much attention to the game's competitive aspect.
Despite being a game already released for almost half a decade from its original country, the cel-shaded aesthetic presentation of the game never made it look old and out of date. At the same time, if you'll compare this to its former online game called Digimon Battles Online, the art style used in Digimon Masters sticks to its original presentation, which in my opinion is how a Digimon game should really look like.
And as I've said earlier, the game has been around for almost 5 years so if your PC was made in 2010 then you shouldn't worry about getting a single framerate drop at max settings.
Conlusion: Good
The game isn't that perfect and the drag of breaking Digi-eggs could be a major turnoff but Digimon Masters is surely able to serve players with a good dose of fun. Just the mere idea of seeing your first Digimon partner evolve to its radical form could excite you enough to keep you at it for countless more hours of training. If you're looking for competitive or objective-based combat, I guess this game wouldn't serve as your cup of tea, but if you're more into collecting and raising your very own little pets then click on this Digi-link to play Digimon Masters today for free!
Previous Review:
If you haven't dabbled into Digimon before, you'd most likely have heard it being referred to as Pokemon's little brother. Digimon popularity was at its peak at roughly the same time as Pokemon, the two obviously inspired by one another. The concept behind it is of humans going into this digital world, claiming a digimon (Short for "Digital Monster"), then training and fighting through them to save the digital world. The series was fairly popular for a few years and saw many console iterations, before the craze slowly died down. Digimon Masters is one such iteration, and you could almost call it a spiritual successor to Digitalic's Digimon Battle Online. Though the craze died down a while ago, there is still enough fans to make a Digimon game. The question is; will Digimon Masters bring justice to a series that marked many gamers' youth?
When you start up, you're brought straight to the character creator, unfortunately without having a go through the options first. Once you've made your character, you actually can go check the options. This awkward intro was pretty much a preview of the kind of product this would be. The character creation is very, very simple; you choose one of three characters, then one of three digimons, and then proceed directly to the starter area. There's not much in the way of customizing here folks, and if you were thinking of making your own highly personal trainer, you might have to wait till the next game comes around. Each trainer and digimon has stats, though you are not explained their function at this point(if ever), and even the brief tutorial that follows keeps things awkwardly simple. That said, this isn't an exceedingly complicated game; it's a point-and-click, for one, and the principle is very basic; get your quests, beat x number of enemies, then come back. Where Digimon Masters fails to execute this well, is when it comes to moving around. You'll be sent back and forth between two characters that are about 10 meters away from each other, or in an adjacent area – constantly. There is simply no point to that; why not just reduce it to one talk to each? Considering the frequency with which you're sent on these errands, this becomes a pretty significant flaw in design that is made even worse by the quality of the areas you'll visit. Oh yeah, they also do this over long distances, and for trivial side-quests.
Catch Em… All?
Your trainer has his own skill and bar, and so does your digimon. Your digimon has the ability to "digivolve", an ability fuelled by your trainer's mana bar that basically gives you an entirely new, more powerful digimon for a few minutes, or as long as you can keep your MP bar up. This means that as long as you keep gulping down mana potions (Or "Vitamin A"), you can keep your super digimon out. Unfortunately, this is one of the only things you'll use your trainer's MP bar for. The combat itself isn't anything special, though some abilities are very flashy, but nothing to call home about. The difficulty is pretty well measured, and you constantly meet new digimons to face, which definitely helps the grind. Your critters are in themselves the core of the game; you're expected to collect and train them. This is also the most entertaining part of it all and it becomes addictive fairly quickly. You can get Digimons in three manners; by having an egg traded to you, by finding an egg and hatching it, or through a quest reward. Whichever way, you have to hatch it yourself. It's not any egg that works though; you need a RARE DROP mercenary egg. Then you need a backbreaking amount of semi-rare eggs to extract DNA from so that you can put the entire thing in a hatchery, and get your digimon. Seems easy enough? Unfortunately, they couldn't keep it so simple. For one, you need a LOT of DNA material. Two, when you try to use it and the egg together, there's a significant chance that you might lose the material, the egg, or BOTH. And we're talking about hours of grinding in the same area per egg. If it succeeds, you have a new Digimon. If it fails, it's hours of your time flushed down the toilet. That is, of course, unless you've bought your egg from the money store.
Digital Monstrosity
The graphics and design aren't that much more impressive. It's cell-shaded; okay, nothing wrong with that and in essence the graphics aren't too bad at all, apart from the clumsy interface. Once again, it's the design where it becomes ugly. The environments are basically all the same, mostly early game. You're sent into what are basically two identical forest zones existing in parallel, but having nothing to do with each other. They are practically mirrors, except for different digimons, and different area names. Worse, they're basically corridors linked from town to town that you basically progress through, literally funneled towards the next area as you run back and forth for the multitude of quests, and to fuel your MP potion addiction so you can keep your cool Digimon out. You better learn to love this hole, because it's where you'll be grinding your soul away for the next 10 levels, and more if you want a specific digimon. You'll also be sharing the space with about 20 other players, and since the areas are so small, you better hope you get lucky with your mobs. If you persevere, you might even get a digimon you can ride, which sort of looks like a cross between a narwhal and a purple horse (It's still pretty cool though). You can also customize your trainer with drops and buys from vendors, with things ranging from T-shirts, to shoes, and so on, which is a nice feature if you plan on sticking around. By this point however, you'll inevitably have crossed the elder brother of the ugly features – the play time timer. At the time of this review, there is a 3 hours time limit, after which you are knocked out to the logging screen, and must wait for the following day to play. Considering that aside from that the PvP is non-existent, the cash store is very limited and the game is generally just rough around the edges, you might not regret this time limit too much.
Final Verdict: Poor
If you love Digimon to death, go ahead and try it, but don't expect anything crazy. Could it improve in the future? Not without some severe redesigning, and considering it's been out for a while in Korea, it's doubtful that this will ever come to pass. Overall, this game suffers from a plethora of issues, from small things like not letting you reach options, to flagrant design faults like the egg hatching mechanism. The fun of hatching and training digimons is by far outweighed by the flaws, and unless you've exhausted everything else Digimon out there and are desperately looking for more, I'd move on.

Very puzzled by your review. For instance no mention of the very poor on/off switch the near impossible to get a grip on the SD card door. Images do not come even close to my Panasonic fz200 and I have found like many others, it will not update with firmware. My old K200d SUPER blows it away even with only 6 megapixels
Pentax K-30 Review
Review based on a production K-30 with firmware 1.01
Pentax has a long tradition of making very photographer-focused DSLRs, often eschewing the latest fashions to concentrate on providing cameras with well-sorted ergonomics and a focus on core photographic features such as good viewfinders. This trend appeared to reach its peak with the K-5 - arguably one of the best APS-C DSLR currently on the market. With the mid-range K-30, it looks like the company, now owned by Ricoh, is aiming to bring this capability to a wider audience.
The first thing you're likely to notice is its rather aggressive, angular styling but what's really interesting is what's going on inside. The K-30 is built around the updated 16MP CMOS sensor and processor used in the K-01 - one of the only APS-C cameras we've seen to exceed the K-5's low light performance. And that's promising, even before you venture further into the specifications.
Despite playing second-fiddle to the K-5 and the updated K-5 II, the K-30 borrows a great many of these cameras' flourishes. It's weather sealed. It features the same 0.92x magnification viewfinder with 100% coverage - meaning you can compose your image knowing that you'll get exactly the framing you thought you would. It also sports twin control dials and a not-dissimilar degree of external controls. It doesn't come with the K-5 II's Safox X AF-system which allows you to focus in very dark scenes down to -3EV, but with a starting price of $899 with the 18-55mm kit zoom, the K-30 is significantly more affordable.
Nevertheless the camera's SAFOX IXi+ AF system is an advance over the original K-5 and features 11 AF points, 9 of which are cross-type (sensitive to vertical, as well as horizontal edges). The major difference to the K-5 is that the lenses in front of the AF sensor have been improved - promising more consistent autofocus performance (what Pentax is calling a diffusion lens is designed to prevent chromatic aberrations confusing the AF system). A wide-area AF mode promises to improve focus tracking if the subject strays from a user-selected AF area to a neighboring point. To make use of this AF capability, the K-30 can shoot at up to 6 frames per second (just shy of the the K-5 II's 7fps).
There are a few odd quirks in the K-30's feature set. The first is the AA-cell-shaped battery compartment. This is clever in the sense that, once you've bought the optional adapter, you can use AA batteries if you want (a constituency Pentax has long courted), or when the supplied Li-ion battery pack runs out. The downside is that the design only leaves enough room for a 7.8Wh battery, which can only motivate itself to produce 410 shots, using standard CIPA methodology. This puts the K-30 in Canon Rebel territory (The T3i is rated at 440 shots per charge), rather than EOS 60D territory (1100 shots per charge).
The other oddity is that, while the K-30 offers the very fashionable 'focus peaking' manual focus aid that highlights high-contrast edges, it can't do so while shooting video. And, while part of its current popularity comes from its use for focusing manual focus lenses on mirrorless cameras, its original purpose (at which it excels), is focusing in video. Losing a key focus aid just when you need it is a perverse limitation, to say the least.
