Dark Age of Camelot Overview
Dark Age of Camelot was one of the first few major MMORPGs on the market. With a strong emphasis on large scale 'Realm vs Realm' PvP, Dark Age of Camelot carved out its junk of the MMORPG market. The game was originally released in late 2001, and has since enjoyed the release of 8 expansion packs and numerous other free content updates. Perhaps the most noteworthy aspect of Dark Age of Camelot is the game's ability to age really well, as the game has been able to 'keep up' with the times while other older MMORPGs have fallen behind. The best part about this free trial though, is that it has absolutely no restrictions. Players have full access to the game and its numerous expansions for a full 14 days.

Dark Age of Camelot Review
By, Omer Altay
Dark of Camelot, DAoC for short, is a 3D MMORPG set in a fantasy world after King Arthur's rule. It was one of the first major pay to play games, as it was released back in 2001 when there were only two other major MMORPGs on the market; EverQuest and Ultima Online. Mythic, the game's developers designed Dark Age of Camelot to compete head to head with EverQuest for the rapidly growing 3D MMORPG market. Now, unlike EverQuest, Dark Age of Camelot has a strong emphasis on PvP, as DAoC introduced the concept of large scale 'Realm Vs Realm' (RvR) PvP to the MMORPG genre. On top of introducing an entirely new system of PvP, Dark Age of Camelot also launched back in 2001 with jawdroppingly gorgeous graphics and has routinely updated its graphics and gameplay to keep up with the times. If you're looking for a solid fantasy MMORPG, look no further, Dark Age of Camelot is certainly worth checking out.
It Aged Well.
Unlike some pay to play games like Ultima Online and Asheron's Call, Dark Age of Camelot has aged surprisingly well. The game's graphic engine has been overhauled countless times and since its release, the game seen the release of 8 expansion packs and countless smaller content updates. Even Dark Age of Camelot's gameplay has kept up with the times, as back when the game first came out the concept of 'instancing' didn't exist, but after World of Warcraft popularized the idea, Dark Age of Camelot quickly brought the feature to their players with the release of 'Dark Age of Camelot: Catacombs' in late 2004. Free trial users do have access to instanced dungeons, as the DAoC free trial includes two popular expansions, one of them being 'Catacombs'. New players should be able to ease into the game without much trouble, as the last big patch introduced a tutorial to the game with voiced over instructions. Whether you're new to the game or looking to come back, easing into DAoC shouldn't be any trouble.
44 Classes / 18 Races WOW!
Perhaps the best aspect of Dark Age of Camelot is its incredible amount of variety. Each of the game's three realms has access to different classes and races with no overlaps, which results in an enormous amount of variety. You'd imagine with three realms, that the game would just make a set of eight classes and reuse them for all three realms, but that isn't the case here. All 44 classes in Dark Age of Camelot are genuinely different. Sure there are some similarities between an "Armsman", the main tank class in Albion, and a Hero', the main tank class in Hibernia, but they still have completely different skills and other subtle differences. On top of having so many classes, each player has access to every single class in the game, meaning that players can create characters on any of the three realms on a single server at the same time. Aside from variety, Dark Age of Camelot still has a lot to offer.
A Lot of Content. Seriously.
Dark Age of Camelot has an enormous amount of content, and the best part is that since the free trial has ZERO limitations players have access to all of it. I've actually played Dark Age of Camelot quite a bit, and have reached the maximum level of 50 on one of my characters and I can still safely say I never came close to even seeing half of what the game had to offer. Seriously, the amount of dungeons and places to explore are nearly limitless. On top of that, the game has a LOT of quests. Quests were never a big part of the game when it first launched, but the folks over at Mythic really outdid themselves, as everywhere I look I see NPCs ready to hand out quests, and unlike some MMORPGs quests in Dark Age of Camelot are well worth doing, as they're a quick way to acquire magic equipment.
Smooth Responsive Gameplay
The actual gameplay and fluidity of Dark Age of Camelot is up to par with other pay to play titles. The game has a maximum level cap of 50, numerous crafting skills, a faction system, and just about every other common MMORPG element. One interesting feature the game has, that' i'd love for other games to copy, is the game's quest interface. Before receiving a quest, players are presented with a small screen that quickly outlines what the quest is, the item reward, and exactly how much experience it yields. The experience points rewarded are actually shown 'graphically' which allows players to quickly gauge whether a quest is worth accepting or declining. Other games just throw out a number, like 500 XP, which in and of itself mean nothing. Yes, I know this is such a small detail, but for some reason I found it extremely useful and wish other games had a similar system.
Albion vs Hibernia vs Midgard (RvR)
The premise of Dark Age of Camelot's PvP is simple. There are three nations that are at perpetual war; Albion, Hibernia and Midgard. The thing is though, the three 'realms' can only battle it out in the game's 'frontiers', which are special areas designated to open PvP, so players don't have to worry about being jumped while trying to level up. Each realm starts with two relics that each provides the entire realm a stat bonus. The objective in Real vs Realm combat is to try and capture relics from opposing realms in order to secure their 'bonuses' for your realm. Relics are difficult to capture though because they're housed in forts which must first be attacked and taken over, which can be extremely difficult. Another interesting facet of the game's PvP is that players can purchase and use siege weaponry out in the frontiers, which adds a bit more spice to an already intense PvP setting. Other than capturing relics, players earn 'Real Points' every time they kill a member of an opposing realm which can be exchanged for special skills called 'Realm Skills' that can permanently boost stats and grant access to new and enormously powerful skills and abilities. I found the game's PvP both interesting and extremely rewarding, a combination not found in most MMORPGs.
Final Verdict – Good
Dark Age of Camelot has an enormous amount of content a PvP system that revolutionized the MMORPG genre and a whole lot more. The only real downside is that the game's population is in decline and that even with the graphical updates DAoC's graphics can't compete with that of newer MMORPGs. With absolutely no restrictions in the free trial though, Dark Age of Camelot is certainly worth the download.

Welcome to the Joomla! Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2013 project ideas page. As we move forward with the 2013 version of the Joomla! GSoC, we will use this page to develop possible project ideas. Please note that anyone who is interested can participate in this process. You do not have to be a GSoC student or mentor to suggest possible project ideas. Please keep in mind that projects need to be realistically something that is able to be functionally completed by a student working full time for about eight weeks. Thanks!
Discussion of ideas and other GSoC related items is welcome on our Google Group: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/joomla-gsoc-2013
If you are interested in participating as a student please review the materials on applying that are available at Google. We strongly encourage you to ask questions about process and ideas on the mailing list.
If you are interested in serving as a mentor, please fill out the Mentor Application Form 2013.
Opportunities exist for students to work with projects from either the Joomla CMS, the Joomla Platform or in some cases a combination of both.
In addition to this ideas list, the Joomla! Community is able to voice their opinion on features they would like to see via the Joomla! Idea Pool. Those wishing to add ideas to this listing are encouraged to review the Idea Pool and base their idea on the input received there. You can also view the past lists for 2012 2010 and 2009, which may be useful for reference. We ask that you keep ideas realistic for the time frame that students will have to complete their projects.
Unless a mentor has proposed a specific project, mentors from the mentor pool will be matched with student projects. However members of the mentor pool are available to answer questions on the Joomla GSoC mailing list.
Note: There will be some overlap here with the potential com_services project so project could be incorporated into that project or there could be coordination of the two projects.
Updating plugins would include generalizing the article plugin to work across all content types using the core_content table.
Here is an example of how a plan for a modal plugin would look:
Note that this may not be the ideal way to provide this functionality, it could be that the existing articles plugin is modified to allow a link type of modal for example. Thus this project would involve a careful review of existing plugins.
Exact details to be developed in discussion with mentors.
At the same time many Joomla 3rd party developers are searching for a solution on how their communities can contribute in the translation of their extensions.
The Joomla Platform allows for ideas that can work within the Joomla CMS, or could be completely separate applications that have no connection at all. The Joomla Platform allows for applications to be built for the command line, process daemons and the web. The follow list outlines some ideas that will be immediately useful for the Joomla Platform project that a student may consider taking on. In addition to PHP libraries, the Joomla Platform also ships with MooTools and project ideas can be related to client-side operations as well as server-side. One emphasis on this year's list is on the incorporation of packages for accessing web services, however other ideas for libraries and packages are welcome. In some instances multiple students may work on different aspects of the project. Two examples of this are unit testing and JStemmer.
All code contributions must follow Joomla coding standards and include full unit test coverage.

Steam not only uses a DRM system it also uses an anti-cheating system for games called VAC similar to PunkBuster....
VAC, as opposite to PunkBuster was always tolerant to LINUX and no one playing on Steam was ever banned just because he/she used LINUX OS.
What it was said here about banned accounts and all, it's purely related with VAC cheaters and even so, they are NOT truly banned....they can not play online in VAC protected servers but still can play SP modes of the games and even can play online in no-VAC protected servers.
DRM is defective by design.
I don't see this as competition to the ubuntu software center.
In fact I see it as a big win for ubuntu (the first supported linux platform). It may even get featured in the ubuntu software center as it's a big deal and will even bring many new users. They may even partner and/or affiliate too (why just compete when you can complement/partner?).
It will be interesting to see what kind of software they plan to ship and if some of those developers might become interested in multiplatform and port to linux.

Not to mention that DRM hinders only legitimate users and not pirates...

Help manuals are written keeping in mind the end user, who mostly likely would not be that conversant with the technical complexities of the implementation. Which brings us to the first golden rule of writing help manuals "Do not use technical jargons or overwhelm the user with details of underlying technicalities of the functionalities".
The user is not bothered about the nitty-gritties; rather s/he wants to use the application without too much fiddling around, which brings us to the second golden rule. "The steps, process, ways to use the application or its functionalities should be written/documented in simple, easy to understand language".
Lesser the maintenance/after sales support a product requires, better are the Return On Investment for the parent company, in which lies the third golden rule. "A well written help manual could very easily from an end user perspective be the best/worst part of the product/service offering."
There is no substitute for a specialist, which means if the product being developed has lot of functionalities and you want the end user to actually make use of those offerings, you should always consider hiring/taking the services of a technical writer. The technical writer comes with an end user perspective, as ideally speaking s/he hasn't been associated with the code/design of the product. So when they see the product they think of it from the eyes of a user, his/her comfort level and familiarity with the product offerings. This understanding helps them formulate the help manual in a manner which is easy to follow and use.
Some of the phases of writing a help manual should be:-
1. Understanding the target user profile
Before even beginning to look at the product offering or writing a single word in the help manual, the writer should understand who the end users of the product are. They should delve into the likely skill-sets, comfort level, expectations, usage patterns, linguistic/cultural profile of the target user.
The first two would help in deciding how much information needs to be provided. The next two would help in formulating the help in a way where the most common used functionalities/expected behaviors to be documented more clearly and in greater details. While the last two would decide the languages that the help manual needs to be written in, also to use words/expressions/grammar and other linguistic things in accordance with the user, because some words/sentences might make complete sense to someone in say the US while it could end up offending someone in India.
2. Analyzing the working of the product in detail
Typically the individual writing the help manual should understand all the functionalities/offerings/any known issues/limitations of the product as this would help them articulate the same properly so that the user doesn't have to spend sleepless nights making repeated calls to after sales/support groups. The writer should sync up with the architect/product manager of the application to understand the application in detail. One to one sessions/walk throughs could be a good way of doing this activity.
3. Creation of a user friendly layout/format for the help manual
The layout/stylesheet of the help manual should be user friendly and easy on the eyes. It should be formal yet attractive enough for someone willing to look through them. A typical end user is very irritable when it comes to spending too much effort to get something working, hence the importance of using the right layout/fonts/colors to give the user a sense of purpose and helpfulness.
Some generic guidelines to follow are:-
- Generally a pictoral representation of the features/settings is more informative and easy to follow then words.
- Maintain consistency of fonts and layout throughout the help manual
- Use colors sensibly ensuring that you don't use too loud colors, or any colors that could possibly offend/irritate the reader's sensibilities.
- Use fonts in line with the intent of the product, for instance a game/fun application could use fonts like Comic Sans, Monotype Corsiva etc, where-as an application targetted for enterprises should typically use Times New Roman, Arial etc as fonts.
- Ensure that the layout fits well into the limited visible space available on the mobile devices.
4. Writing the actual content of the help manual
Having finalized the layout/format of the manual, you get down to the actual wording of the help manual. Make sure that you don't overwhelm the user with too much content or give too less information thinking the user would be smart enough to read between the lines.
Some generic guidelines to follow during this activity are:-
- Clearly detail the settings/expected values on the settings/administrator pages if the application has any.
- Document the maximum/minimum values for the input fields so that the user is aware of them before-hand.
- Clearly mention the known issues if any before hand so that the user doesn't expect something to work when it is not going to in any case.
- Link the logical entities of the help together for instance in a multi view application it is always a good idea to write the help for all the functions/commands available on a particular view.
- In case the help for a particular view also completes a feature on another view, give links to that instead of re-writing the entire thing again.
- Use the right wordings, carefully detailing the steps and expected behavior, sometimes an example setting and the expected results would help the user to understand better.
- Do not use slangs or wordings with religious/racial/sexual/ethnic connotations. Remember the intent is to help and not to hurt/peeve the end user.
- Share the support center contact details in case the user is not able to make headaway even after using the help.
- The application should works as specified in the documentation and the Help screen.
- User guide/feature list must be up to date and consistent with application.
- Do not use overall terminology in technical word, use terminology which is familiar to target users.
5. Review, both peer and end-user
Get the contents reviewed by your peer in case you have one, otherwise the product manager/architect could also be a good choice for the reviewer. It would also be advisable to ask an end user/someone not involved in the product development/help content writing process to review the artefacts. The latter would bring in fresh ideas and end user perspectives thereby helping finetune/improve the document even better.
6. Final delivery along with the product
Once you have done all this, you are ready to deliver the help manual along with the product, either as an online help tool, end user documentation/manual or a context sensitive help.
Check the links below more on packaging context sensitive help.

Alabama State Parks will conduct a prescribed burn of two longleaf pine tree zones at Oak Mountain State Park on Thursday, March 14, 2013. The prescribed burns will take place in two locations within the park: approximately 168 acres near the upper fishing lakes, and approximately 130 acres near the campground. The burn was originally scheduled for February, but the weather prevented it from taking place.
Every effort will be made to ensure proper smoke management and safety of the surrounding areas during the burn period. The Alabama Forestry Commission and the City of Pelham Fire Department have been notified and will be on standby if needed.
In an effort to enhance the stands of longleaf pine at Oak Mountain, Alabama State Parks plans to control understory plant species through the use of regular prescribed burns. A management plan for the removal of some mature oak trees within these longleaf zones is also being drafted in 2013 and will be used in tandem with the controlled burns.
"An ongoing seven-year study of longleaf pine ecosystems conducted by Dr. Scot Duncan of Birmingham-Southern College recommends controlled burns to help keep these areas open to sunlight and to stimulate the growth of beneficial understory plants," said Forrest Bailey, Natural Resources Chief for Alabama State Parks. "The State Parks Division feels that if no action is taken and hardwood competition is allowed to grow unchecked, both longleaf locations will be lost and a valuable, historic plant community will become more degraded."
The longleaf management program at Oak Mountain is a partnership between Alabama State Parks and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) in Alabama. TNC will provide trained personnel, ATV equipment, and logistics expertise to assist with the controlled burns.
"Alabama's state parks contain a wealth of unique and important biodiversity as well as provide important places for people to enjoy the great outdoors," said Keith Tassin, TNC Terrestrial Conservation Director. "Periodic fire shaped Alabama's ecosystems, and is critical to their restoration and maintenance. This is the first step in restoring the mountain longleaf pine ecosystem that once covered much of the park."
Historically, longleaf pine covered millions of acres across several southeastern states including current sections of Oak Mountain State Park. Longleaf pine ecosystems thrived when controlled by naturally occurring fires. However, more than 50 years of fire suppression has degraded the health of some of these ecosystems.
Regular prescribed burns of fire-tolerant longleaf pine forests helps to eliminate competition from understory vegetation such as maple, gum, hickory and oak. Prescribed burns also help to fuel the growth of wildlife food sources such as native grasses, wildflowers and forbs.
The Nature Conservancy is a conservation organization working around the world to protect ecologically important lands and waters. Founded as a chapter of the international organization in 1989, The Nature Conservancy in Alabama has safeguarded more than 156,000 acres across Alabama that protect hundreds of rare and imperiled species of plants and animals, many of which are found nowhere else on Earth. For more information about prescribed burning, contact Keith Tassin, Terrestrial Conservation Director, at (205) 613-2901 or visit www.nature.org/fire.

I play golf almost year round and a couple of guys are always switching to different type balls. I know cold weather has some effect but does it really matter?
i have just played with the temp in the low 40's and found the pro v1 to still be the best all around ball. I did put my balls in a beanie and set them on the defrost heat on the way to the course and left them in the beanie in my golf bag. i kept one in my pocket and one on the course and did not notice any distance loss and had outstanding feel around the greens as usual. Warm or cold, the pro v is still the best ball.
From Massachusetts here and yes the cold effects the golf ball. Played last weekend on the 5th and the course was closed for the season as of the 6th due to the cold. Every fairway/green was frozen so it wasn't realistic golf.
To answer the OP question, the distance will be reduced but can be minimized with a hand warmer in your pocket and a few balls right beside it. I know this is not a round based on the rules of golf but it is also not a accurate representation hitting the ball onto concrete fairways. I use this time to practice bump and run type approaches and more work on my ball flight in the windy conditions. I typically use V1's or V1x's in all conditions. So folks are aware, my understanding is that golf balls are engineered to react best between 70-80 degrees F.
As a general rule, I have found that I lose about 10% distance when the temperature is below 50 degrees. I play the Pro V1x and do switch out to an NXT or Pinnacle in the colder weather. I have not found to much difference in the playability of the balls in the cold weather, so I choose to play the less expensive ones when the difference is not very significant.
I'll admit that living in South Carolina doesn't give me the expertice in cold weather golf, but i do know that when the temp drops below 50 so does the distance. I played in a tournament yesterday, it was 43 degrees and I was almost a club shorter with my irons. I play the Pro V1x, but when it gets cold out I'll switch to the Pro V1, or even another ball. It's simple physics, colder materials do not have the elasticity as warmer materials. When it gets cold out the ball just won't compress like it should. So when the temp drops, drop the compression on your golf ball....it'll help.
I live in Texas where we play the year round. When the temperature is in the forties, my ball(PRO V1X) definately goes about a club shorter with my Titleist blades. When the air is colder it is denser which in addition to all the other factors previously mentioned have an effect on distance. The experts at the USGA say as a gentle rule you lose 3yds. for every 10 degree drop in temperature.

Ha I also follow ''winter rules''.
I usually just take an extra club after about temp drops below about 42 degrees. It works both ways I will take off about half a club if it's about about 80-83 degrees. Tempand distance is all about feel for me.
For me personally, I don't think it has so much to do with the golf ball as it does with all the extra layers of clothing I have to wear in colder weather and the fact that I cant swing as freely as I can on a nice warm sunny day.
it matters trust me> if you have ever seen the show sports --something they did a test with a cold golf ball and one with a warm golf ball the warm one went 8 yards farter. they determined that , it comes down to compression of the ball. thats why the prov balls go for ever cause titliest has some very smart people designing there balls,

I play golf almost year round and a couple of guys are always switching to different type balls. I know cold weather has some effect but does it really matter?
. While we do not have specific data available to be shared, there are really two aspects to the question of temperature - : the temperature of the ball itself, and the temperature of the air it's flying through. When the ball gets cold, the materials lose some resilience ("bounciness") so they come off the clubface slower and thus lose some distance. The materials also firm up, which makes the ball feel harder on impact. Since most golf balls these days use similar materials inside, these effects will also tend to be similar. Of course, these factors can be easily minimized or eliminated by not letting the ball get cold. We always recommend that golf balls be stored indoors at room temperature between rounds, and that's especially important during cold or hot times. If it's really cold outside, it's not a bad idea to alternate two balls hole-by-hole, keeping the idle one in a warm pocket.
The air temperature affects ball flight because colder air is denser ("heavier") and thus caused greater aerodynamic drag. There is nothing you can do about this one, and it will affect different types of balls in essentially the same way. It's not a huge effect but it can be significant. The distance loss between a 70° day and a 40° day, for example, will be somewhere in the ballpark of 2%.
A golf ball does get harder in the cold, but that shouldn't limit your distance too much. However, your layers most likely limit your body movement and thus your swing speed will dip.
One way to really help as well is to keep your clubs (especially your woods) warm. Your driver face, if warm, will actually hit the ball farther do to how hard it is. (similar to a bat warmer for softball).
I always keep my rain cover over my clubs and always put the club covers on them right away. As someone earlier mentioned, keep your clubs inside and in your car in transit rather than in your trunk or back of truck. The warmer, the better.
Hope it helps.
PS...harder balls roll farther. Keep your flight low and that should help keep your distance!!!
Yea, it does. The ball will get harder and become harder to compress. Vis versa, if a ball gets warmer, it'll go further, about 10 yds, either less or more, for colder and warmer. Look it up on YouTube, sports science does a segment on it. I recommend having hand warmers in your pockets and putting the balls on them, it'll make them fly further.
Last year
Come on Man. When we golf in the middle of November we're doing it to keep our swing going and because we want to play as much as possible. Do you seriously think that we're worried about a rule like that when it's 40 degrees Fahrenheit out there?

Yeah, I'm joking. Point is, the hw mixing argument is just an excuse for shitty sw mixing implementations. In the age of dual core CPUs being the low end, not being able to do proper audio mixing sounds more like a bad joke to me.

The real point of my post though is to simply point out that Ubuntu states these lofty goals but then puts little to no resources behind achieving them, while poor Poettering actually goes out and tries to get things accomplished to these ends and is decried as an evil for doing so by often the same people who hold Ubuntu in such high esteem. It is getting quite irritating.

MLB Most Popular Jerseys — 2013 season
Major League Baseball has released the list of top-selling jerseys from the first half of the 2013 season. Who's at the top of the list? Well, a reigning MVP, followed by an undisputed legend of the game. But what is perhaps more interesting is how many young players having breakthrough seasons made the list — Manny Machado, Matt Harvey, Yasiel Puig, etc. Puig made it despite only being in the league since June 3.
Overall, 18 of the top 20 jersey sellers are age 30 or younger. Fourteen of them will also play in Tuesday's All-Star Game. The team with the most players represented is the Dodgers, who have four top jerseys. This these sales figures are based on jerseys sold at mlb.com/shop. — Mike Oz, Big League Stew

Lincoln Inauguration Bible
Click on image to enlarge
This bible, a facsimile of the one used at Abraham Lincoln's first inauguration on March 4, 1861, and by Barack Obama on January 20, 2009 and January 21, 2013, commemorates those historical events. The original bible resides in the Library's Rare Book collection.
The diminutive historical artifact was published by Oxford University Press in 1853 and has 1,280 pages. The Bible was originally purchased by William Thomas Carroll, clerk of the Supreme Court, and given to Lincoln to use in his first inauguration, as the Lincoln family Bible was in transit from Springfield, Illinois to Washington, D.C.
Editor's note- The original Bible has considerable wear and fading on the outer covering. The uniqueness of this wear makes it impossible to duplicate, so it was decided to make the facsimile cover look in pristine condition as the Bible would have appeared in 1861. In all other respects this facsimile duplicates the original.
Price: $50.00

Acetyl Hexapeptide-3: Argireline is the trade name. Synthetically produced, it is a peptide made of amino acids. It can help reduce the overall appearance of deep wrinkles.
Algae: A simple celled organism. Commonly derived from seaweed and other times harvested in ponds, algae are touted as a moisturizer. It is rich in minerals and therefore believed to have anti-oxidant properties that are revitalizing to the skin. Some algae will shrink as they dry on the skin, providing a temporary tightening effect.
Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA): A common and well known chemical exfoliator that helps loosen the dry rough skin cells to reveal softer, smooth looking skin. It has been used for many years, and is now offered in a milder formulation in beauty products. It reveals, through chemical exfoliation, a new layer of skin by helping increasing the cell turnover rate. It is used to reduce the look of wrinkling, roughness and skin discoloration. Mainly available in facial and body creams, it's also found in some cosmetic preparations.
Aloe (Aloe Barbadensis): The aloe plant that is used in topical preparations is one of 300 species of aloes and is indigenous to South Africa. Known for its skin smoothing and rejuvenating properties, Aloe Vera has almost the same ph as the skin and is generally believed to be hypoallergenic to most individuals because of this. References of aloe can be found in the Bible, as well as other ancient texts. According to ancient records and data, it has been used for at least 3,000 years.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid: A fairly recent discovery of the mid 20th century (1951), Alpha-Lipoic acid is part of the B complex family. The body makes up its own lipoic acid, but most is derived from food sources. Its most unique property is that it was found to be fat and water soluble. This unique quality makes it more effective in its antioxidant qualities since it can help provide free radical protection in both the watery (aqueous) and oily (lipid) part of cells. This two-fold nature had earned it the title of "ideal" or "universal" anti-oxidant. It may also have the capability of regenerating other anti-oxidants such as Vitamins C and E.
Bentonite Clay: Used in spas around the world as a soothing, rejuvenating facial mask, this clay is used to absorb oil and impurities, and help skin feel soft and smooth. Found all over the world, particularly in the US and Canada, this clay was initially a deposit of prehistoric volcanic ash.
Coenzyme Q10: Also known as Ubiquinone, it derives from the same root word as 'ubiquitous,' meaning "found everywhere." Aptly named, CO Q10 is found in every cell of your body, and levels are reported to decrease with age. It is considered an antioxidant nutrient and has been found to help offer protection from free radicals.
Copper Peptide: Helps trigger the skin's own renewal process with rejuvenating effects.
DMAE: Dimethylaminoethanol, a relative newcomer on the beauty scene, promotes skin firmness. Mostly found in anti-aging lotions and creams. It can help improve overall tone of the skin while encouraging elasticity.
Papaya Enzyme: Derived from the fruit Carica papapya. It contains the enzyme papain and helps dissolve the proteins in dead skin through the process of digestion. The exfoliation process exposes a newer, younger layer of skin.
Glycolic Acid: Derived from sugarcane, it is used as an exfoliant and is related to alpha-hydroxy acid in its action. Often added to cosmetic products to control the acid and alkali balance.
Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate): Found in the body, Hyaluronic Acid is used to lubricate joints and cushion other parts such as the skin. It's used in topically applied rejuvenating products to increase the skin's moisture, volume and fullness. It is capable of absorbing and retaining water over 1,000 times its weight.
Idebenone: Idebenone is pronounced (eye-deb-eh-known). A relatively new discovery in the beauty and anti-aging industry, Idebenone is an organic compound reputed to have superior anti-oxidant properties very similar to that of Coenzyme Q10. It is actually the bioengineered variation of Coenzyme Q10. It acts as a protector against free radicals. Due to production costs, it tends to cost a bit more than other beauty ingredients. However, a demand continues to exist because of its reputation for anti-aging and brightening properties.
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia): Oil is distilled from the tops of flowering lavender plants. Generally added to products as a perfume, it is found in soaps, perfumes and topical skin preparations. Also, according to the long standing practice of aromatherapy, the scent is also believed to soothe stress.
Matrixyl 3000: Best known to help reduce wrinkle depth. Matrixyl 3000 differs from Matrixyl in that Matrixyl 3000 is made up of both Palmitoyl Oligopeptide and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide (Matrixyl only has one peptide, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide). An essential function of Palmitoyl Oligopeptide is that it enhances the production of collagen, and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide combines with other ingredients to optimize the environment to stimulate collagen production. Matrixyl 3000 is renowned in the anti-aging industry for its wrinkle reducing properties, along with improving skin tone and helping to reduce roughness.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A naturally occurring B vitamin found in various plants including sweet birch and wintergreen leaves. It can also be created synthetically through a process of heating phenol and carbon dioxide. It is used for a number of purposes, including its antimicrobial action in preserving products. It is also used to slough the skin, aiding with acne and wrinkled skin.
Shea Butter: An emollient plant lipid. The fruit of the karaite tree in the Savannah region of West Africa produces a rich, luxurious moisturizing fat. The fruit is crushed and boiled until it resembles an ivory or yellow colored cream. It's widely used in lotions, creams, hair conditioners and lipsticks.
Vitamin A: Used for its moisturizing properties.
Vitamin C: Also known as Ascorbic Acid, it is especially used in anti-wrinkle creams and serums. It's valued for its ability to act as a preservative and antioxidant protection. Depending on the type of product, it comes in several forms, such as a powder or cream.
Vitamin E: Also known as Alpha Tocopherol, is derived from vegetable oils. It's used as a moisturizing antioxidant.
Zinc Oxide: Widely used for numerous beauty products, zinc oxide is used in: blush, shaving creams, light and white eye shadows, powders, cosmetics, antiperspirants and depilitories. It is also used in foundations and dusting powders for its opaque qualities.
Dry skin is identified as skin severely lacking natural oil and moisture. Characteristics include roughness, flakiness, tightness, fine pore redness, pronounced fine lines around the eyes and mouth, and a thin, fragile texture. The skin may also appear flaky, ashy or dull from dead skin build up.
Daily Skin Care Regimen
If you have dry skin, you will need moisturizing products that nourish, so you will want to find protective and restorative products. Achieving a moisture balance with the right pH is key.
Begin with a very mild soap, possibly cream based. Since your skin is acidic, the alkaline in soap can easily disturb the delicate pH balance. Also, make sure that the soap does not contain harsh chemicals which will also remove the acid mantel and cause further dryness. Choose a toner that soothes and nourishes your skin. It should refresh with a hint of moisture—a low or no alcohol formulation is recommended to prevent over drying the skin.
A daily moisturizing routine is essential for dry skin. Begin with a serum to enhance moisture, then apply a day moisturizer. Try to use a day cream with an SPF Your evening ritual can include a serum application and a heavier moisturizer. Eye creams and serums are recommended for the delicate area around the eyes that are subject to fine lines and wrinkles.
Weekly Skin Care Routine
Use an extremely mild exfoliator in order to expose fresh skin and allow products to penetrate deeper. This will maximize the effectiveness of your skin care products. A moisture-enhancing mask that you put on and wipe off will moisturize and plump dry and dehydrated skin.

Why Cleanse?
When you cleanse your face, you can help control the clarity, suppleness and condition of your skin. Cleansing rids your skin of excess facial oil, dust, bacteria, dirt and dead skin cells. This process helps keep the pores unclogged, improves circulation, and prepares your skin for the next step in your cleansing ritual. Quite possibly the most fundamental step in the beauty routine, cleansing is integral to maintaining a balanced complexion.
Cleansing is recommended twice per day for most skin types, once in the morning and once in the evening. Any more than that, the natural oils become stripped, while any less and your skin can become susceptible to congestion and eruptions.
How to Choose a Cleanser
Choose a cleanser that is appropriate for your skin and is specifically formulated for the face. Dry skin types will need to use a creamy based cleanser, while oilier types will need a gel based or foaming type cleanser. Sensitive skin needs a fragrance-free formulation, most likely labeled as gentle and non-irritating.
How to Cleanse
Tie your hair back with a headband or ponytail holder. Make sure to start with clean hands. Splash your face with warm or tepid water to open up your pores. Never use too hot or too cold water. Too hot and your skin can dry out, while water that is too cold will not remove the surface oils sufficiently. You can use a washcloth, sponge, exfoliation puff, facial brush or your fingers for cleansing - It all depends on your preference.
Use approximately a dime to nickel sized amount of cleanser, follow product packaging instructions. You can apply the cleanser with your fingertips or washcloth. Depending on the cleanser type, you might want to work up a lather in your hands first.
Use gentle upward circular strokes moving around the face, paying attention to the crevices of the nose area and hair line while extending down your neck and around the ear area. Take extra care to use a gentle touch around the eyes. Do not over-scrub or scrub too hard, as your facial skin is susceptible to become easily irritated.
Once the cleansing is completed, rinse liberally with tepid water. Make sure all areas are rinsed including the neck, hairline and eye area. Cool water may be used, as it helps to close the pores. Finish by blotting your face gently with a towel using a patting technique.
Why Moisturize?
Everyone can benefit from using a moisturizer after cleansing. The key is finding the appropriate moisturizer based on your skin type. Moisturizers seal moisture into the skin, so the effect is hydrating while also inhibiting evaporation. Many moisturizers contain active ingredients that deliver vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and skin supporting compounds to provide therapeutic benefits that sooth, protect and ultimately delay the onset of early aging.
Eye creams are optional, but may be desirable for those with dry or aging skin as a welcome addendum to a moisturizer. Some individuals have very delicate eye areas that are more susceptible to wrinkling, dark circles and puffiness. An eye cream can help address these specific concerns with intense moisture and a high concentration of active ingredients.
How to Choose a Moisturizer
The oilier your complexion, the lighter and more liquid your moisturizer should be. Some moisturizers even have oil free ingredients that still serve to moisturize the skin without adding oil. Conversely, dry or aging skin requires a more moisturizing-nourishing preparation. Use a moisturizer labeled with your skin type or specific skin concern. If you live in a particularly harsh climate, consider wearing a more moisturizing face cream during the winter and switch to a lighter formula during warmer months.
Night creams tend to be thicker and more moisturizing than day creams. It is generally recommended to have separate moisturizers simply for the fact that you will want a day cream with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF). This will provide you with added protection from sun damage that ultimately leads to premature aging.
Based on the amount of time you spend outside on any particular day, you might want to wear a moisturizer designed for outdoor use with a significantly higher SPF. You must also factor in how easily your skin burns and take precautions to protect your skin with a sufficient SPF. As a general rule, it is recommended that your day moisturizer should have at least 15-20 SPF, and if you spend more time outdoors, consider a moisturizer with 30+ SPF.
How to Use Moisturizer
After you wash your face and apply toner or a serum (optional), scoop out enough moisturizer to comfortably cover your face and neck area. Using your finger tips, rub it in using upward strokes, making sure to moisturize the neck, décolletage and earlobes. In order to prevent streaks, allow your moisturizer to penetrate before applying foundation.
Daily Skin Care Regimen
The key to maintaining normal skin is to adhere to a regular beauty regimen. Use a cleanser both day and night for normal skin types. A mild toner is recommended to remove remaining traces of soap and dirt. Use a lightweight lotion or cream with an SPF after you wash.
Depending on your age, environment or skin needs, try a serum as a base for your moisturizer. If you live in a cold or particularly arid environment, a serum may be just the right addition to your regimen. Choose a lighter lotion or heavier cream based on your skin's response to each. If your skin feels too greasy after a cream, try a lotion. Conversely, if your skin feels tight or lacks moisture, try a heavier lotion or cream.
Weekly Skin Care Routine:
A mild exfoliator will help remove the top skin cells and allow your face to glow with fresh skin. You can offset any occasional or seasonal oiliness or dryness with a clay or moisturizing mask.

BadenP, I think you misread Sequoia's post, although it is not perfectly clear, which is why I asked for clarification. It says "we" (the unit leaders, I am assuming) "were sent" (meaning, we the unit leaders received) a letter "via council", meaning it wasn't sent by the unit leaders, or the council, which presumably only leaves the CO. So this appears to be a CO acting perfectly within its rights (though not necessarily based on correct information) to terminate its own units.
Hopefully the council, in forwarding the letter, offered assistance in finding a new CO.
Premature rash actions usually lead to poor decisions and ends with disasterous results! IMO that is exactly what your CO did. I find it hard to believe your leaders had no input to this decision. Now as a result you are no longer a scouter, nor are your youth scouts, what a sterling performance, what have you really accomplished, and who are the ones who are truly hurt? The BSA decision hasn't even been made yet and you all have torpedoed scouting for your youth, so I ask you who is the one really being unscoutlike. I hope other CO's will take a much more rational approach before deciding the future of scouting in their organizations.
Or it could be that the CO was just 'waiting for some reason' to do this anyway, for that matter. But regardless, it's done. They will hopefully find a supportive CO. From the sound of things, the unit itself and the leaders are going to make a 'go' of it one way or another.
As far as 'teaching' goes, I need to defend blw2 on that because I was the one who brought up the idea of 'teaching'. It was the way I naturally interpret what happens as a result of experiences and the idea of a 'moral experience' was not clear to me. It still isn't, at least not as it relates to the topic of membership policy. But I certainly did NOT have in my mind that anyone was going to be 'taught' about sexuality. Rather it was about morality.
So my confusion of the idea of a 'moral experience' is where all that came from. And that's ok because I'm often confused about a lot of things. Sigh, I'm used to it.
An interesting (older) article from the LDS perspective from sci-fi author Orson Scott Card (whose book "Ender's Game" is recommended for scouts and scouters alike - the movie version is coming out in November), and why the loss of scouting if the LDS pulls its charters for moral issues would be a bad thing for a lot of LDS youth:

Japanese Fried Chicken Bento
One of my favorite bento is chicken karaage, or Japanese fried chicken bento. In the United States, chicken kaarage is also referred to as sesame fried chicken in many Japanese restaurants. Other than chicken teriyaki, chicken karaage is probably one of the most popular combinations when it comes to Japanese bento. If you have had Japanese food or lunch box, I am sure you have tried the crispy and flavorful Japanese fried chicken. I simply can't resist the good taste.
Making restaurant-style bento is actually easier than you think, and the whole process of assembling the different dishes into the bento box is actually quite fun. When I started making bento at home, I got myself a 5-compartment bento box, which is widely used in many Japanese restaurants. Please take note that there are a wide variety of bento boxes available: plastic, wood, lacquer ware, 2-tier, single compartment, 2 compartments, up to 7 or 8 compartments, and the list goes on. When it comes to choosing the size and type of bento box, it's really a personal preference and what works best for you and your needs. If you are a working professional, you should probably start with a simple 2 to 3-compartment bento box.
Everyone can make a bento of your choice. If you are a beginner, here are some pointers for packing mouthwatering bento:
- Use short-grain rice for the steamed rice and always cook the rice ahead of time to allow for cooling before assembling.
- Sprinkle some black sesame seeds on top of the steamed rice to enhance the presentation. You can also add some green peas to the rice. The key to a great bento is to make plain looking food looks interesting and hence pleasing to both the eyes and taste buds.
- Sauces such as dipping sauce and salad dressing should be packed in separate sauce containers to avoid spillover and ensure freshness, especially if the bento is meant to be taken out or consumed later.
- Avoid raw fish or sashimi (especially in warmer weather) unless the bento is served immediately.
- Avoid soupy or watery dishes as they don't pack well in a bento box.
- Traditionally (regardless of the size or type of the bento box), the perfect ratio of a healthy bento is 3 parts carb (rice, noodles), 1 part protein (meat or fish), 2 parts vegetables/fruits. However, this is a guideline and not rules. If you are a vegetarian or vegan, you can still pack a bento!
This is my Japanese fried chicken bento. Other than the main dish of chicken karaage, there are steamed rice, gyoza, pickled cucumber and mixed green salad.
Here is my empty bento box with the different compartments and how I pack my bento. A typical restaurant-style bento usually consists of steamed rice, main entree, side dish, tsukemono (Japanese pickle), and salad.
For the Japanese fried chicken, I marinated the chicken meat with Mizkan (Bonito Flavored) Soup Base, consists mostly of soy sauce and dashi. I also added some Mizkan HONTERI® Mirin for a tint of sweetness. For the tsukemono, Mizkan rice vinegar comes in handy as a little dash goes a long way in the simple cucumber pickle. To balance off the taste of the bento, I chose Mizkan Sesame Dressing for my salad. The end result was a beautiful bento packed with all my favorite Japanese dishes that I just couldn't stop eating!
