Remembering Bobby Darin
Saturday, December 22, 2012
This week (December 20th, 1973) marks the 39th anniversary of the death of legendary entertainer Bobby Darin, who died at the age of 37 following open-heart surgery. Darin, one of the primary links between the Big Band era and rock and roll, was an accomplished actor, songwriter and dancer, in addition to scoring 22 Top 40 hits, including "Splish Splash," "Beyond The Sea," "You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby," "If I Were A Carpenter," "Dream Lover" -- and his only Number One hit, "Mack The Knife."
Darin was born Walden Robert Cassotto on May 14th, 1936, in the Bronx, New York City, with a rheumatic heart that would plague him throughout his life. He later went on to become a goodwill ambassador for the American Heart Association
For most of his life, Darin was led to believe that his birth mother was in fact his older sister. He never knew the identity of his birth father.
In 1957, Darin was signed to Atco Records, the non-R&B subsidiary of the Atlantic label, and his records had little success until the label's president Ahmet Ertegun produced "Splish, Splash," a song Darin had written in only 12 minutes. Ertegun's touch proved to be just what was needed to catalyze Darin's talents, and in 1958 "Splish, Splash" went to Number Three on the charts, selling more than 100,000 copies in less than one month. Three more gold records followed: "Queen Of The Hop" in 1958; "Dream Lover," which Darin wrote in 1959; and "Mack The Knife," also in 1959. That year Darin earned two Grammy Awards; "Mack The Knife" won for Record Of The Year and with Darin being named Best New Artist.
In 1960, Darin married actress Sandra Dee, and the couple had one child, Dodd Mitchell Darin. They divorced in 1967.
Darin once said, "My goal is to be remembered as a human being and as a great performer," and his extensive musical legacy speaks for itself. In 2001, Darin's "Mack The Knife" was recognized as one of the top "Songs Of The Century" in a poll conducted by the Recording Industry Association Of America and the National Endowment For The Arts. The poll ranked the top 365 songs of the last 100 years, and "Mack The Knife" came in at Number 15.
Darin played a crucial role in the musical development of Roger McGuinn, who prior to co-founding the Byrds, served an apprenticeship as Darin's live guitarist.
In 1968, Darin was a key supporter of Bobby Kennedy during his bid for the presidency, and was traveling with the senator the night he was fatally wounded at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles.
Several years ago Dick Clark spoke about Darin, and said that he was one of the most remarkable entertainers he ever knew: "Bobby Darin was probably one of the most memorable people I've known in my life. He became a very close personally friend and I speak from a highly prejudiced point of view -- he was just the best."
David Cassidy, who performed as Darin in his The Rat Pack Is Back! musical, says that of all the live acts he's seen over the years, nothing compares to catching Bobby Darin perform in concert: "I actually saw Bobby Darin be 'Bob Darin' at the Troubadour, with my step-mother Shirley Jones. There was an interesting deal that went on his career after he did all the 'Mack The Knife' and 'Beyond The Sea.' He became a very politically active guy -- I respected that a lot at the time -- and still do. He was an artist, and one of the greatest -- if not the greatest -- entertainer I ever saw."
Bobby Darin was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990 by Paul Anka. In 1999, Darin was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
In 2004 Kevin Spacey starred and directed the Darin biopic Beyond The Sea.
In 2005, an extended, newly remastered version of Darin's album Live At The Desert Inn, was re-released on CD with several bonus tracks. The concert was recorded in Las Vegas on February 6th, 1971. Live At The Desert Inn was originally intended to be Darin's debut for the Motown label, which eventually released it posthumously in 1987.
In 2007, Darin was awarded a star on the Las Vegas Walk of Stars and inducted into the Hit Parade Hall of Fame.

It's an interesting design, sure. I'm not sure what it wins you in practice, though, because apps can and often do ship both sysv and systemd-native/upstart-native init scripts. What's the practical difference between shipping an internally-complete sysv script along with an internally-complete upstart/systemd-native script, and shipping an internally-complete sysv script along with a not-internally-complete OpenRC script that builds on the sysv script?
Remember in context we were talking about socket activation, so far as I can tell, OpenRC has no capabilities for socket activation anyway.

Vermont fairs and festivals have been around for a long time. It used to be that most regions hosted a fair or "field days" towards the end of the summer when farming families could take a break to show off their labors and have fun with their neighbors.
Agricultural Fairs Today these agricultural fairs are still highly anticipated – and well worth the wait. Some are held as one-day affairs, and others last a week, but they all are bustling with activities. Let us tell you about the fun and excitement of the fairs planned for this season. Read more
Festivals of All Kinds But fairs aren't the only big events. Vermont is home to an amazing number and variety of festivals. From celebrating green energy and artisan foods and beverages, to music, theater, art and craft, every season offers up lots to see and do. Read more

Customer Reviews for On Sale Solid Textured Weaves Solids Vertical Window Blinds
"Very attractive"
By daveysan from Colorado
I have hung vertical blinds before, but only for for patio doors; this one was a 4x4 window. It was fairly easy to install, and I must say that the split stack is a much more attractive solution than having the stack on just one side. I bought "Tahiti Weave Tortoise Shell," and it looks great. I like the texture, and the color is pretty accurate (but get a sample to be certain). I recommend this product.View this product

On January 1,
2003 new regulations impacting international students in F-1
visa status took effect. Among the changes are new rules that
define a full course of study and outline exceptions. It is
important that all students in F-1 status read and understand
these rules. The international student
advisor (Designated School Official,
or DSO) must comply
fully with these and other federal regulations.
To be considered full-time, during fall and spring
semesters you must be enrolled for:
12 credit hours (undergraduate students)
9 credit hours (graduate students)
6 credit hours (graduate students with graduate assistantship
enrollment during fall and spring
semester is not mandatory.
On-line and distance education courses:
You may count only one on-line or distance education course (3
credits) toward your full-time registration in any given term.
Minimum enrollment requirements:
Students with DSO's approval to reduce their course load must
still carry at least 6 hours unless the approval was based on
his or hers final term of study or health problems – these also
must by preapproved by a DSO. The DSO must approve the
following reduced enrollments (RCL) before any
changes are made in GullNet.
Exceptions to the full course load requirement which require
prior DSO approval:
Academic reasons: You may reduce your course load for only
one semester total during your program of study for academic
reasons. A reduced course load will be acceptable under the
following circumstances: new students enrolled for the first
time and having difficulty with spoken English; difficulty with
reading requirements; or difficulty with unfamiliar teaching
methods. A student who has insufficient background for the class
level in which he/she was placed may also seek approval for a
reduction in course load at any time. In all cases, students
must receive approval from a designated school official
before dropping below a full course of study.
Students who are granted an RCL authorization on one of the
academic difficulty bases must resume a full course of study in
the next available term, session, or semester, excluding a
non-required summer session, in order to maintain status
Medical reasons: If you have a valid medical reason for
reducing your course load, you must provide the DSO with a
medical certificate from a medical doctor, doctor of osteopathy,
or licensed clinical psychologist. You may only reduce your
course load for medical reasons for a maximum of 12 months, and
you must receive DSO's approval for the reduced course load
prior to each semester during that period.
The DSO must reauthorize the reduced course load every semester
and update SEVIS to reflect the authorization. The regulations
require the student to present current medical documentation to
support each RCL authorization.
Final term of study: During your final term of study, and with
the prior approval of the DSO, you need only enroll for
the required number of units needed to complete your degree.
However, if in your final term you take less than a full course
of study as defined above, you must receive DSO approval prior
to registering.
If you would like to apply for a Reduced Course Load
authorization, please submit the following form to the DSO:

HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — Brad Keselowski didn't dare take his phone in his car before the biggest race of his life. NASCAR's social media champion handed it over before pulling on his helmet and chasing the Sprint Cup title he promised to deliver to Roger Penske.
Brad Keselowski gets The Captain his Cup title
But when Sunday's race ended, Keselowski crossing the finish line at Homestead-Miami Speedway as the champion, he didn't even consider getting out of his car to celebrate before getting that phone back.
Why? He had to tweet, of course.
Keselowski, the kid you first heard about when he tweeted from inside his car during the season-opening Daytona 500, opened his championship reign by tweeting from inside his car: "We did it," he posted with a picture.
He did it with Penske, forming NASCAR's oddest couple to capture its biggest prize.
Keselowski brought Penske his first Sprint Cup championship 40 years after his first stock car race, beating five-time champion Jimmie Johnson of mighty Hendrick Motorsports while delivering the crown that fills a glaring hole on Penske's otherwise sterling racing resume.
Penske is considered the gold standard of open-wheel racing — he has 15 Indianapolis 500 wins — and his empire makes him one of the most successful businessmen in America. But until Sunday night at Homestead-Miami Speedway, his NASCAR program was never more than average.
"Personally, I feel amazing that I've been able to achieve this in racing," Penske said. "I think it took guts for me to stay in the sport. We could have thought, 'Well, we won the Indy 500 15 times and we're a big deal.' But I'll tell you one thing ... I think I just woke up here tonight, and it's a big thrill."
As always, Penske credited the entire program.
But the program really turned behind Keselowski, a blue collar, Michigan native, who chugged sponsor Miller Lite's product, donned goggles to douse the Blue Deuce crew with champagne, and imagined how his life will change as NASCAR's champion. At 28, he's the eighth youngest champion in NASCAR history and proud he doesn't have a date for the Nov. 30 champions banquet in Las Vegas.
"I've always wanted to date a celebrity," said Keselowski, "I'm just throwing that out there. That would be really cool, don't you think?"
Penske could only shake his head in bewilderment.
"Maybe I am conservative, but I like to have a little fun, too," Penske said. "And I think when you've won the NASCAR championship, the driver, you can kind of give him a little wider path, and he's certainly taken it side to side. I think it's all good."
Keselowski might not have seemed like Penske material three years ago, but he's a cornerstone now.
He was a developmental driver for Hendrick Motorsports in 2008 when he went to see Penske, determined that he could be the driver to bring "The Captain" a coveted Cup championship. He wiggled free from his contract a year later, and had a second-tier Nationwide championship — and a closet full of starched white Penske shirts — to show for his convictions.
Now, three years into the plan, he and Penske have that Cup championship and a connection no one saw coming.
"Always, throughout my whole life I've been told I'm not big enough, not fast enough, not strong enough and I don't have what it takes," Keselowski said from the championship stage. "I've used that as a chip on my shoulder to carry me through my whole career. It took until this year for me to realize that that was right, man, they were right.
"I'm not big enough, fast enough, strong enough. No person is. Only a team can do that."
Keselowski needed 125 starts to win his first championship, the fewest starts since four-time champion Jeff Gordon won his first title in 93 starts in 1995. Keselowski also won a second-tier Nationwide title in 2010, his first season with Penske and the owner's first official NASCAR championship.
Gordon, who avoided suspension this week but was fined $100,000 by NASCAR for intentionally wrecking Clint Bowyer last week at Phoenix, overcame the controversy to win the race in a 20th anniversary celebration for sponsor Dupont and Hendrick Motorsports.

One way to determine the species of amphibians and reptiles that occur in an area is to use a drift fence. Our fences are constructed from stiff vinyl held up by pieces of rebar. The Y-shaped design has a bucket in the center, buried flush with the ground, and two wire minnow traps on either side of the ends of the fences—see the photograph. We have 17 of these drift fence arrays at our study site in southeastern Oklahoma. As animals move through an area, they encounter the fence and follow it to the right or left, ending up either in the center bucket or a trap at the other end. Drift fences must be checked every day so that animals do not spend very long in the traps. We will periodically let you know what we are finding in our traps.
We have already started some long-term studies on snakes. We use "pit-tags" to identify individual snakes so that we can follow their movements and keep records on growth. Pit-tags (passive integrated transponders) injected under the skin of snakes work like price codes on things that you purchase. We simply read each snake's "code" with a scanner every time that we capture it. Pit-tags don't bother the snakes at all.

SPRINGFIELD – Charging the amateur videographer who captured the alleged police beating of Melvin Jones lll during a 2009 traffic stop with illegal wiretapping sets a dangerous precedent, local activists say.
"I think it would be dangerous if this person were to be charged with a crime," said the Rev. Talbert W. Swan, Springfield branch president of the NAACP. "It would say to the public that we don't have the right to hold law enforcement accountable for their actions."Read »

Aidan's home shaping up: Community works to make boy's residence more assessible
Saturday, March 2, 2013
BERWICK, MAINE — Aidan Bowie, 11, is about to have his life made a whole lot easier thanks to help from the community and a new handicap accessible bathroom.
Aidan will be undergoing serious hip alignment surgery next week at Boston Children's Hospital and will be unable to bear any weight for six weeks while he recovers. While he's away some doors will be widened and his mother says it is the perfect time.
"Everything has been on right on track," Heather said. "Even with snowstorms, people have been over here on work days, on weekends, giving us their time."
Along with renovations to the bathroom, the entrance to the household is being completely rebuilt. A demolition day is scheduled to knock down the front section of the house, allowing Aidan's chair to move more freely about. Additionally, older brother Liam, who Heather says has been a huge help in his younger brother's life, will have a new bedroom thanks to renovation rearrangements.
The project is to be completed by this summer.

I have AMD and nVidia cards, and there is no way I would buy them instead of Intel graphics, unless I would want maxed graphics in TF2, which is just not worth it.
Intel is doing it right, and I have become a very happy consumer.
According to Youtube HTML trial page WebM works on Firefox. WebM and h.264 works on Epiphany, which uses Webkit engine, so I guess those should work in Chromium too.
Edit: It seems WebGL is not supported: http://www.khronos.org/webgl/wiki/Bl...sAndWhitelists
Luckily I haven't missed it

1) Mesa >= 7.10.3 (or Mesa >= 8.0 for the Nouveau driver)
3) any version of FGLRX implementing OpenGL 3.0 or newer (but FGLRX is blacklisted when the Linux kernel version is 2.6.32)
I can verify that FF current and r600g on a radeon 5400-series and 6850 both work with WebGL

The primary subject is chemistry. It goes over every single element and anything you would need to know about chemistry. I think that the book was pretty effective at covering it. But so much material to cover.read more
I have never read anything about chemistry or taken a class about it. I have taken science and biology classes. Learning chemistry is a lot harder and a lot more detailed than any other science.
I learned well reading the material and the only things i know about chemistry is what i read from the book so i wouldn't change anything.read more
general chemistry, it covered the material very well, we based all our tests out of what the book said therefore we had no issues with the book.
This book is a wealth of information in chemistry. It gives you lots of problems and examples to learn. Is easy to follow. Plenty of information and periodic table included. It even has the answers in the back to see if you worked a problem right.read more
It would have been nice to have a periodic table separated from the book and was able to dry erase on because that was very helpful to do when trying to learn about the periodic table.
If the illustrations were a bit bigger and if the chapters were shorter.read more
I liked the way the chapters were organized and it was very simple to go back and forth.
The class that required me to use this book was introduction to chemistryread more
I have always hated chemistry but this book is amazing! The chapters help you a great deal because I passed the class with a B+
The chemical compounds and the history of how things became about in the world of chemistry.read more
The primary subject of this book was general, organic, and biological chemistry. This book was very effective in covering all these items.
I will be using this book for Chemistry 1151 and Chemistry 1152 and I will also keep and use this book so I can have it handy for when I am in nursing school so I can refer to different things as a refresher,read more
A cheaper cost would make this book better because it is crazy how the international version cost way less than the United States version and they both have the same information.
Acid and base topic was the most helpful.I mostly did homework and read the examples of every topicread more
I did homework using the practice questions and preparing for exams
It made the entire chemistry class easy to follow. It has more than enough sample problems and answers to help you learn how to solve problems. It also has a lot of useful charts, tables, and photos to help you learn the material. The class I was in that required this book was intro to chemistry and it was my first chemistry class that I have ever taken. This book definitely helped me get through the class with ease.read more
I thought that the tables and charts they displayed with the material from each chapter were the most useful to me. It made it easier for me to understand what the book was explaining. It was also helpful because I didn't have to memorize everything all at once since all I needed to do was refer back to those tables. The amount of learning check problems they have in each chapter was very helpful as well. It helps show you what exactly to do, which formulas and such to use and what to look for with each chemistry problem.

Ex-Eagles Guitarist Says 'Heartache Tonight' Was An Afterthought For The Band
Wednesday, November 28, 2012
Former Eagles guitarist Don Felder remembers that the band's 1979 chart-topper "Heartache Tonight" was an afterthought for the band. Felder, who's busy promoting his second solo album, Road To Forever, recalled the genesis of the song, which was written by Don Henley, Glenn Frey, J.D. Souther -- with a little help from none other than Bob Seger for The Long Run.
Felder explained to SomethingElseReviews.com, "When we got towards the end of The Long Run, we realized that Glenn had nothing to sing on the record except this one song called 'Teenage Jail.' . . . So we called Bob Seger, and Bob had started about 60 or 70 percent of 'Heartache Tonight,' which was perfect for Glenn. So we got together, and J.D. Souther, Don, Glenn and Bob finished writing that, ran into the studio and recorded that for Glenn -- because it was the strongest thing for Glenn's representation on the record. We couldn't put out a record without Glenn singing a hit on it."
Longtime Eagles collaborator J.D. Souther gave us the inside scoop on the band's last chart-topper on the Billboard Hot 100 to date: "Glenn and I were walking around my living room, just clapping our hands -- no instruments -- and we were trying to write a Sam Cooke song. And if you think about the melody without instruments, it's very, very, Sam Cooke-ish, y'know? We got a verse-and-a-half, or, two into it and just couldn't think of a chorus and so, (laughs) Glenn called Seger on the phone and sang it to him, and Seger just came right in with, (sings) 'It's gonna be a Heartache Tonight!' So, Glenn called me back and said, 'We got a chorus.'"

HEAT Online Review
By, Omer Altay
Yes, I know. Before you even started reading this you probably asked yourself, "What makes Heat Online different than every other racing MMO?" Well, you'll be pleased to learn that this MMO is actually quite unique in the sense that there are no fireballs or magic missiles that can quickly turn the tide of a race. In fact, there are no items at all.
Wait.. No Items?!
Yep. You heard me. A racing game without any items. In most racing games items can really break the game, especially if you're the one that's in first place for the majority of the race and all of a sudden on the last lap a timely missile fired by that one sucky player 2 laps behind you homes in on you from a mile away and bam, you're so far behind you end up not finishing the race. It's incredibly frustrating, and if you've played any other item based racing game out there you'll understand as well. Racing MMOs like Upshift Strike Racer and Drift City are fine examples of titles where the last lap in the only one that really matters because of insane game breaking items. I'm not condemning items in racing games, as they can spice up a game, but I'm glad to see at least one racing MMO do away with them completely.
It's all about Skill.
Gameplay in Heat Online is pretty intense, as the game is based entirely on player skill. Newbies shouldn't be too worried, as even though the game has no items, beginners can still do well in races. When I first fired up the game and took the driver's seat I ended up finishing in third place out of eight players online. Not bad for a first go. The beauty of the game design is that even if you fall behind or screw up, the game isn't over. You can still catch up and win because the terrain is so crazy that the odds are someone ahead of you is going to screw up or you'll make up for your previous failure by playing more aggressively and trying to get through the difficult shortcuts. But unfortunately, if you screw up real hard, you'll never be able to make up for it, so drive carefully!
Dangit! #@$*($
My only real complaint with Heat Online is that making sharp turns is ridiculously hard. I found that the best way to make a sharp turn is to just slow and make the turn without hitting the brakes. If you try drifting or using the breaks your car will just slow down to a crawl and you'll be turning in an awkward way. Drifting properly is extremely difficult to the point that it isn't even worth trying. Every time I tried to smoothly make a sharp turn by drifting I would be overtaken by someone that just tries turning at full speed and hits the wall a couple of times. That's right, smacking the wall and going onwards is faster than trying to execute a drift. The worst part is that the game will tell you "nice drift" even if your "nice drift" lands you in last place. Turning and drifting just feel incredibly clumsy in the game. Another small issue with Heat Online is that the game is a tad cruel to newbies. As you race, you may see a ramp every now and then, and you'll immediately think, "Woah! A ramp! I bet if I floor it and go over it I'll surely gain some ground on the guy ahead of me!" Don't do it! Using one of the ramps is almost guaranteed to slowing you down. For some reason the game feels the need to trick newbies by placing a ramps in plain sight. You'd imagine that they would serve a meaningful purpose, but they don't. Their only purpose seems to bait newbies.
Woah! Shiny…
Heat Online has absolutely gorgeous graphics. This game is hands down Aeria's most graphically intense game and is one of the best looking free MMOs out there. Everything from the detailed environments to the car models is pleasant to look at. The developers definitely spent a lot of time on polishing the game and it really shows. There are plenty of options to play with inside the graphics menu, so make sure to turn up your settings if your PC can handle it. Heat Online also has a handful of camera angles so you can play the game in any way that you like.
Heat Online has some interesting customization components that all racing games should have. Every race you complete earns you money and experience which can be used to purchase and equip new parts for your car. When you first start out though, you won't really be able to afford anything, so you'll need to play through countless races before you can even think about 'pimping' out your car, but the fact that game lets you purchase custom components gives the game a lot of room to expand. You can customize just about everything about your car from spray paints to engines. Even though a lot of the cosmetic customizations have no impact on gameplay they're still a lot of fun to play around with. My only complaint about the in game shop is that there simply aren't enough auto parts to buy, but I'm sure Aeria games will keep releasing new items as the game gets updated.
Final Verdict: Good
Heat Online is a really polished and fun racing MMO. If racing and cars is your thing, then there's no reason you shouldn't try this game. The game's beautiful graphics and solid gameplay more than make up for its few faults.

Common on many Caribbean and Atlantic coral reefs, the flamingo tongue snail feeds on toxic sea fans and not only suffers no harm, it incorporates the fans' venom and becomes toxic itself. Shell collectors are often attracted to the colorful snails, but in fact the shell itself is white—it's only the living animal inside that produces the striking color pattern.

Dekaron Overview
Dekaron is a fast paced action MMORPG. The game labels itself as an arcade style action MMORPG, which is a fairly accurate description, as the game's combat is smoothly animated and polished. The game has a strong emphasis on PvP as the game has open PvP in certain zones and a dueling system everywhere else. The game's varied skill tree system has an incredible array of skills to learn, so the game is sure to be varied. The game has
Azure Knight: The Azure Knight is the traditional melee archetype with a primarily melee focus and self buffs.
Segnale: (Female) The Segnale serves as primarily a support class with healing and buff capabilities and several strong debuffs.
Incar Magician: (Female) Incar Magicians are the traditional 'wizard' archetype with the ability to cast powerful offensive spells. They're capable of using both wands and staves.
Segita Hunter: (Female) The Segita Hunter is basically an 'archer' class that can deal great damage from a distance but are more vulnerable in close range combat. They can use Bows or Crossbows for ranged attacks and daggers for melee oriented combat.
Vicious Summoner: Vicious Summoners are a mix of the 'rogue' and 'druid' archetypes, as they are capable of summoning powerful pets to assist them in battle, but also have the ability to use twin blades in melee combat.
Bagi Warrior: Bagi Warriors are the main 'warrior' archetype as they are the most capable at absorbing damage and 'tanking' monsters. They are simmilar to the Azure Knight, but tend to have more hitpoints at the expense of attack power.
Aloken: Aloken use spears for melee damage and offers multiple buffs and spells to assist themselves and their allies.

Dekaron Review
By, Omer Altay
(Note: Review was written when game was still called 2Moons.)
2Moon's is definitely one of Acclaim's most enjoyable MMORPGs. The game is known as 'Dekaron' in Europe and Asia. The game's fast paced and smooth gameplay coupled with its large selection of skills and talents make for an enjoyable MMORPG experience. At first look, Dekaron looked a lot like a generic MMORPG experience, but playing the game for a bit made me appreciate the game's polished combat animations and overall varied gameplay.
Hold on there, This is for Mature people only!
For those that are turned off by excessive gore, you should be warned; Dekaron is one of the bloodiest MMORPGs out there, which doesn't exactly mean a lot, but I figure I'd provide a fair warning. If you're borderline on the 'excessive gore' issue, I'd like to point out that the game's warnings are a bit excessive, you won't find any more blood in Dekaron that you won't find in any MMORPG, except for perhaps Requiem: Bloodymare, but that game labels itself as a horror MMORPG, so there's bound to be excessive gore in it.
Bad Moon Rising? Expedition? What?
If you ever went to the Dekaron official page I'm sure you've heard the words 'Bad Moon Rising' and 'Expedition'. The site never explicitly explains what 'Bad Moon Rising' or 'Expedition' really is, which doesn't make much sense, because they're expansion packs. You'd imagine a publisher would want to slap the word 'expansion pack' everywhere they could if they were updating their game, but for some odd reason Acclaim opted not to do so. Both 'Bad Moon Rising' and 'Expedition' are massive free content updates from Acclaim which added new quests, instance dungeons, items, monsters and a whole lot more. Seeing a publisher regularly release massive content updates says a lot about the company behind the game, they clearly care about their users.
Variety Galore.
One impressive aspect of Dekaron it the game's incredible amount of variety. There are six playable classes in the game; they are Azure Knight, Segnale, Incar Magician, Segita Hunter, Vicious Summoner and Bagi Warrior. A seventh class, Aloken, is set to be released within the first few months of 2009. Having six distinct classes is a quite a feat these days, as most MMORPGs only have a handful, and the fact that Dekaron has a 'summoner' archetype is great, because most games today stick to the generic archetypes that are incredibly overused. Each of the game's six playable classes have their own unique skill trees, which wouldn't be at all impressive in and of itself, however each skill tree has a staggering amount of skills that can all be leveled up multiple times. The large selection of skills helps to distinguish players from each other. Unlike other MMORPGs, It's rare to find someone that has the exact same build as you.
Ugh! Why do games do this?
Races and gender are locked to your class in Dekaron, which doesn't make any at all. How much more 'programming' could it have taken to allow players to choose their gender rather than the game forcing whatever the developers chose down your throat? If you want to play as an 'Incar Magician' which is basically the 'wizard archetype' your character has to be female. The developers are either trying to tell us that all of the races in Dekaron reproduce asexually or they were too lazy to program a simple feature. Aside from gender's being determined by your class, your class also determines your race. This is really only a minor issue, but it still surprises me that developers can spend all this time and money in creating a game, but can't spend the tiny bit to fine tune it.
First Impressions
When I first logged in and started playing Dekaron, I was quickly impressed by the game's basic controls and combat. You can move around by using both the WASD keys as well as the left mouse button for when you need to travel long distances. The game's combat mechanics are surprisingly fluid and fast paced. Each successful attack on your enemy stuns them for a moment and knocks them back. The game does a remarkable job making you 'feel' as if you're progressing very fast, because the game's numbers scale very quickly. New players start off by doing 20-30 damage, but within an hour or so of leveling can start hitting for 200+ damage a hit. The game's fast paced experience gain and quick damage scaling does a great job of in grabbing your attention and holding it. Each 'level up' in Dekaron grants you five stat points and a single skill point. Depending on your class, each of the game's five stats, strength, dexterity, health and spirit will have different effects on your character. Putting one point into strength for a Azure Knight for example will grant the Knight more attack power than putting a single point into the same stat for a Incar Magician. The only other game that has a similar system to this is Twelve Sky.
Pee Vee Pee
Dekaron certainly places a strong emphasis on PvP, as the game has many open PvP zones. While traveling outside of the game's safe zones, you can be attack by anyone at anytime without consent, so be prepared to defend yourself or travel with a friend when you're far from safe zones, otherwise you just might be jumped by another player in a bad mood. The game penalizes player killers, or PKers, by penalizing them 'player kill' and 'Inclination' Points. Be warned, even though killing a few players here and there won't have any severe consequences, killing too many players will lead town guards to attack you. The game's guards don't screw around either, they're almost impossible to outrun, have infinite hit points and do massive damage. The only way to reduce your 'player kill' or 'Inclination' points is to serve time in the game's jail. At this point murders can either serve their time or bribe the guards to reduce their sentence, but either way the game does penalize players who go on excessive murdering rampages. The game's open PvP makes for a fun environment though, as you'll always have to stay on your toes.
Final Verdict: Good
2Moon's attractive PvP elements and overall varied gameplay create a fun MMORPG experience. The fact that the game gets consistent content updates from the publisher reassures me that the game will still be around and fresh in the coming years.

What is Apache Mahout?
The Apache Mahout™ project's goal is to build a scalable machine learning library.
Latest release version 0.9 has
- User and Item based recommenders
- Matrix factorization based recommenders
- K-Means, Fuzzy K-Means clustering
- Latent Dirichlet Allocation
- Singular Value Decomposition
- Logistic regression classifier
- (Complementary) Naive Bayes classifier
- Random forest classifier
- High performance java collections
- A vibrant community
With scalable we mean:
Scalable to large data sets. Our core algorithms for clustering, classfication and collaborative filtering are implemented on top of scalable, distributed systems. However, contributions that run on a single machine are welcome as well.
Scalable to support your business case. Mahout is distributed under a commercially friendly Apache Software license.
Scalable community. The goal of Mahout is to build a vibrant, responsive, diverse community to facilitate discussions not only on the project itself but also on potential use cases. Come to the mailing lists to find out more.
Currently Mahout supports mainly three use cases: Recommendation mining takes users' behavior and from that tries to find items users might like. Clustering takes e.g. text documents and groups them into groups of topically related documents. Classification learns from exisiting categorized documents what documents of a specific category look like and is able to assign unlabelled documents to the (hopefully) correct category.

25 April 2014 - Goodbye MapReduce
The Mahout community decided to move its codebase onto modern data processing systems that offer a richer programming model and more efficient execution than Hadoop MapReduce. Mahout will therefore reject new MapReduce algorithm implementations from now on. We will however keep our widely used MapReduce algorithms in the codebase and maintain them.
We are building our future implementations on top of a DSL for linear algebraic operations which has been developed over the last months. Programs written in this DSL are automatically optimized and executed in parallel on Apache Spark.
Furthermore, there is an experimental contribution undergoing which aims to integrate the h20 platform into Mahout.
1 February 2014 - Apache Mahout 0.9 released
Apache Mahout has reached version 0.9. All developers are encouraged to begin using version 0.9. Highlights include:
- New and improved Mahout website based on Apache CMS - MAHOUT-1245
- Early implementation of a Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) classifier - MAHOUT-1265
- Scala DSL Bindings for Mahout Math Linear Algebra. See this blogpost and MAHOUT-1297
- Recommenders as Search. See [https://github.com/pferrel/solr-recommender] and MAHOUT-1288
- Support for easy functional Matrix views and derivatives - MAHOUT-1300
- JSON output format for ClusterDumper - MAHOUT-1343
- Enabled randomised testing for all Mahout modules using Carrot RandomizedRunner - MAHOUT-1345
- Online Algorithm for computing accurate Quantiles using 1-dimensional Clustering - See this pdf and MAHOUT-1361
