Why brands love April Fools pranksOn April 1 David Waller looks at the plethora of April Fools Day pranks and asks do they work and what do they achieve? Are you sceptical about advertising messages? Well, today there is even more reason to question the ads that you see. In the last few years April Fools' Day has become a day that businesses have been releasing hoax advertising – so watch out!
The Matthew Effect: how fame and fortune are the key to loyaltyWhy is it that agencies or brands with momentum seem to be more successful? Christopher Ott explains the Matthew Effect. When an ad achieves success at one award show it generally goes on to receive more success at other shows. As though its fame feeds its future success, ad infinitum. There's an unfair advantage, right? The same unfair advantage big brands enjoy over small ones. It's called the Mathew Effect - named after a verse in the Matthew Gospel, which goes: "For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance".
You wouldn't read about it: Adrian Bayley rape trials expose flaw in suppression ordersWith journalists being blamed for breaching suppression orders on some high profile trials Mark Pearson of Griffith University asks if the way the laws currently work are really suitable for the internet age. It is somewhat alarming when a media law academic finds himself on the wrong side of a media law. But that is exactly what happened to me when I discovered the new edition of our textbook was in breach of a suppression order on the name of Adrian Bayley – the man who murdered Jill Meagher.
It took a year to realise media might not be for meNewcomers can struggle to adjust to the fast-paced world of media agencies. Here Marco Del Castillo talks about the challenges he has faced in his first year at MEC. I'm days away from rounding out my rookie season in this industry and it has been a heck of a ride. A naïve student in the field of psychology and marketing, I have found myself in the thick of a fast-paced world filled with interesting people, a ridiculous amount of jargon and litres of beer, wine and champagne to rival the downpour of the 2011 QLD floods.
Malaysia Airlines marketing chief Dean Dacko on the mission to get the brand flying againDean Dacko is the head of marketing for Malaysia Airlines, a company that has experienced more upheaval in the last 12 months than perhaps any local brand in history. In this expansive interview with Robin Hicks at the Festival of Media Asia, the Canadian talks about how the twin air disasters of MH370 and MH17 have changed the airline's approach to communications, how these traumatic events affected him personally, and the plan to rebuild one of Malaysia's most revered national brands. Dean, you've been with Malaysia Airlines for just over two and half years. The last 12 months must have been particularly challenging?
Australia: Where the bloody hell were you?Australian businesses constantly bemoan the brain drain and loss of talent overseas, but Mumbrella editor Alex Hayes asks what are we doing about promoting the country as a destination for the best creative and digital minds in the world to come and live? The town of Denton in Texas has 125,000 souls, two universities, and its main employer at the moment is truck builder Peterbilt. However, it is desperately trying to bolster the contribution of creative and digital types to its economy as it looks to the future. I learned all of this whilst enjoying a coffee with the city's mayor, as could any of the 32,000 plus digital and creative and digital entrepreneurs that passed the stall at SXSW Interactive's trade show. Inspired I went wondering the enormous trade hall for Australia's version - but there wasn't one to be found.
Turnbull's media reforms might not go far enough for Murdoch's likingIn this cross-posting from The Conversation Ben Goldsmith of the Queensland University of Technology looks at why Rupert Murdoch voiced his displeasure at planned media reforms despite standing to gain. Earlier this month, reports suggested that Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull is preparing to take a media reform package to cabinet. The Weekend Australian called it a "surprise move" and reported that media executives were "shocked".
Netflix, Stan and Presto battle for consumer dollars, but what's the difference?The official arrival of Netflix in Australia today fires the starting gun on what could be one of the biggest marketing wars this year. Miranda Ward runs the ruler over the new local offering and how it measures up the its US counterpart, as well as local players Stan and Presto. Australians have never had so many options as to how they consume content - but for people looking to dip their toes in the video streaming waters the options are many and dazzling with many shows carried by more than one service, and all having different exclusive content. I've been using the US version of Netflix for the last month, while I've also experimented with Stan and Presto. But which will consumers choose?
The telco 'triple play' wars and not subscription video services will reshape the media landscapeLast November Nic Christensen looked at how the new streaming services were just part of a larger war between the telcos. With today's launch of Netflix locally we revisit the piece - and in a postscript look at how it has played out so far. Brace yourself, a media winter is coming. But it's not the impending streaming war between Presto, Netflix and newly minted Stan that you've been hearing so much about that will redefine the Australian media landscape, but rather what sides the various media companies fall on.
The most interesting speakers at SXSWWith over 1,000 sessions at SXSW Interactive this year there was a lot of competition for attention. Here Douglas Nicol outlines the three speakers he got the most from at this year's event. You get wonderfully judgmental about each presenter pretty quickly at SXSW, you sort of know if the speaker is going to be good within 10 minutes, and if they're a dud you quickly switch to another concurrent session. But if you've done your homework you strike gold most days. Here are 3 of the people who I found pretty damn interesting and inspiring:
Will Colvin - the George Costanza of Australian online journalism - should have quit, not dumped on his colleaguesFormer news.com.au night editor Will Colvin has written an article for Sneaky magazine celebrating how little work he used to get away with on the News Corp-owned site. Mumbrella's Tim Burrowes argues that by staying in the job, Colvin denied it to somebody else who needed it more. It seems to be journo confession month.
What the passing of Malcolm Fraser really says about today's politicians' communications skillsFollowing the death of former prime minister Malcolm Fraser and comments that he under achieved while in government Burson-Marsteller CEO Christine Jones offers some pointers on how politicians could communicate more effectively in an effort to be remembered in a more positive light once out of office. Like many people, I was saddened to hear the news that Malcolm Fraser passed away overnight. Since the news was announced a few hours ago, tributes have flowed in from all corners of our country and around the world. It's a fitting acknowledgement of his service to Australia and Australians over many decades.
Data retention plan amended for journalists, but is it enough?Data retention has been in the headlines in recent week but do the proposed amendments go far enough in protecting the media asks Angela Daly, Swinburne University of Technology and Adam Molnar, Deakin University in this cross post from The Conversation. The House of Representatives has finally passed the third tranche of national security legislation, concerning the mandatory retention of all Australians' data when they use telecommunications services. In the wake of concerns about how such data retention could impact upon the media, the government and ALP adopted amendments to the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Amendment (Data Retention) Bill 2014. These amendments entail that law enforcement agencies aside from ASIO wanting to access journalists' data to discover their sources would first have to seek a warrant.
Are magazines frozen in time?Amid ongoing reports of the death of print, Carat's Christine McKinnon looks at some possible future revenue streams for magazine publishers. Two weeks ago I walked into a news agency to retrieve my subscriber copy of the News Corp Disney Frozen book and CD. As I walked in something seemed out of place. The stationery was along the walls as it always had been; the middle aisle, however, was full of extracurricular study books for primary school students. I wandered over to the counter and asked nervously "where are your magazines?" The owner smiled, and yes, with pity said: "we don't sell magazines anymore…no one bought them – we had too many returns - we make more money out of text books." There was not a single magazine to be seen - not even a Woman's Weekly or a Delicious. It was a Twilight Zone moment, a one way moment. There was no going back. "We don't sell magazines anymore." It was over.
Digital Shift: Tomorrow's Relationship and IdealsKristy Richards, and Daniel Bluzer-Fry present a synopsis of their talk at SXSW looking investigating what effects 'game changing' technologies may have on who we are and our relationships and ideals in the future. Technology and the rapid pace of innovation is having a profound effect upon all of our lives. The positive draw of the benefits of tech is hugely enticing.

Jerry Seinfeld Gossip
Jerry Seinfeld gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Lunch with Gwyneth & the Seinfelds
Michael Buckner/ Jason Kempin/ Getty Images
Gwyneth Paltrow was out in LA yesterday supporting her very good friends, Jessica and Jerry Seinfeld, at the Inaugural Los Angeles Fatherhood Lunch to benefit Baby Buggy. They've been close for years. They hang out together in the Hamptons. They compare stone wood whatever pizza ovens in the backyard. Full Story
Natural GOOP's party for Jake
Paul Zimmerman / Getty Images
Co-hosted with the Seinfelds, Jessica and Jerry, in the Hamptons, of course. Where else? It's August. That's where you find the right people in August, didn't you know? You can see evidence of a proper Hamptons summer all over G's face. I worry about her skin though. I hope her SPF is strong enough. Full Story
Jerry Seinfeld: Still seeking nothing
God, how much do we miss Seinfeld? There's not been another show on TV like it since. The problem with television shows, especially comedies where you have a goal to make people laugh—because once you find the key to making people laugh, it's hard not to keep using it—is that eventually, you're just doing the same thing over and over. Full Story
Gwyneth Paltrow ELLE September 2011
If you don't like Gwyneth, and many of you don't, there's a lot you'll find annoying in her new spread for ELLE's September issue. If, however, you're like me and can appreciate Gwyneth at her best which is, naturally, better than you, this is one of her finest. The styling (by Joe Zee) is amazing. Full Story
Gwyneth cooks, Cameron's ass, Chris runs
Next week, Gwyneth Paltrow will not sing Adele as well as Adele on Glee. This week she's pimping her new cookbook in New York. Apparently there's even a book signing somewhere today or tomorrow. Like people will line up for the privilege of meeting her and trying her recipes. Anyway, last night she threw a dinner party and invited some of her famous friends so that she could cook for them. Full Story
GOOPy Q&A
This week's GOOP newsletter is a Q&A. Unfortunately she doesn't answer any of the best questions we send her. Like: did you and Jennifer Aniston hold hands and cut down Angelina Jolie the entire time you were in Morocco? Or... Give us some examples of how you made Scarlett Johansson feel inferior on the set of Iron Man 2. Full Story
Art falls
Lady Gaga arrived at Heathrow today in full costume and ended up bailing on her face in front of photographers. It's the price you pay. And certainly she knows it, and so in her mind, this would be considered a flawed performance. Or perhaps the falling is the performance. With her you never know. Full Story
Now THIS is a BitchFace
I have a Jessica Seinfeld problem. After all, gossip is my life. Jessica Seinfeld is the best gossip. You know how she and Jerry came to be. You know about the book and the clothes and the Oprah shoes and the Hamptons and the money and the Paltrows and the Madonnas... Jessica Seinfeld SCORED. And Jessica Seinfeld will cut a motherf-cker without hesitation. Full Story
Hollywood backscratchers
Remember last year, when Madonna was supposedly f-cking ARod, they would steal away to Jerry Seinfeld's place in the Hamptons? It seemed random, non? All favours in Hollywood are eventually repaid. Now Jerry Seinfeld is returning to television. It's a reality show called The Marriage Ref featuring "opinionated celebrities, comedians and sports stars who will candidly comment, judge and offer different strategies for real-life couples in the midst of a classic marital dispute. Full Story
Madonna sneaking around
This thing with ARod… it's baffling. So Page Six is reporting that Madonna and Alex Rodriguez have enlisted the services of their wealthy friends to help them spend time together undercover. Full Story
The GMD's Top Gun Salute
More hilarity courtesy of the GMD's devotion to Xenu – yet another video has surfaced of Tom receiving the IAS Freedom Medal of Valour Award at some Scientology clusterf&ck (???) and saluting a huge portrait of L Ron Hubbard on stage. Like Top Gun all over again. Except this time we're fighting aliens and no hot men playing beach volleyball. Full Story
Who They Had For Dinner
The GMD and Robobride went out for dinner last night in New York…and guess who they dined with? To whom did Tom "present" his wife? None other than Jerry Seinfeld and his wife Jessica. Indeed. There are many, many, many similarities. Most notable: both men married younger women. In fact, the age difference between Jerry and Jessica and Tom and Katie is almost exactly the same. Full Story
Escaping Oprah's Wrath
Jessica Seinfeld may indeed be the one woman alive who can rival Heather Mills's goldiggery and yes, she is a manipulative bitch and absolutely a greedy twat. But still I am obsessed. Jessica Seinfeld has also allegedly ripped off someone else's book. Jessica Seinfeld is apparently a plagiarist. Full Story
Copycat Seinfeld…but will Oprah get revenge?
Yes…she's a scheming golddigging bitch…but I kinda love Jessica Seinfeld. So sinfully manipulative it's delicious. And somehow she has entranced Jerry Seinfeld. He is completely addicted to her. Saw her at Cannes – as put together as anyone you've ever seen, and even better than KFed Junior at playing the doting wife, popping out 3 children in quick succession, and immediately looking picture perfect.

Good Early List R&R. Only real difference is Manziel, my early thoughts is he will be in Top 10.

I think its pretty good, but Mike Evans should also be in there somewhere as well. Guy is a matchup nightmare and he'll run in the mid 4.5 range. Still learning how to play the position while dominating.

I am going too add him
Edit: Evans has been out into Matthews spot and Hoffman who was at 50 now excluded from the top 50
I had him in my rankings but accidentally left him off durning my rankings I put him where I feel he ranks accordingly

Re: RockNRandy's 2014 Big Board (Top 50)
Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M - overrated over hyped
Anthony Barr, OLB, UCLA - not. True defender and where he will go I want no part of. I think there are better OLB available later on.
Louis Nix, DT, Notre Dame - people are too high on nix and again I want no part of a DT in the first unless they are a sure fire like Star was last year I don't see that in Nix.
Bradley Roby, CB, Ohio State - overrated overhyped
Brett Hundley, QB, UCLA - I'm sorry I don't see it I like many other QBs more then I like Hundley and I need too see him be better in big games and take over
He will be just average to me I don't get why he is desired as a QB.
Ryan Shazier, ILB/OLB, Ohio State - small and undersized, he will be eaten alive at the next level over valued. I love the little guy winning but like many other small LBera they get weeded out
Anthony Johnson, DT, LSU - like many LSU defenders except a few but he is not one Johnson will be a bust no technique all athletic and not a hard worker or willingness to want too be great I will not draft him

Re: RockNRandy's 2014 Big Board (Top 50)
No I'm just over the Manziel hype
I love all opinions and that could be said too the poster and the commenter
I left him off
He said he would be a top 10 pick
With Johnny football it's all in or all out
I'm on the all out side
And the commenter is a all in kind of guy
I was just staying that's why I posted the way I did cause its MINE
Not making it too were I please others
Don't want people thinking I based my thoughts or rankings off of others
That is all fellow draft enthusiast nothing more nothing less
Why are you so quick too escalate somethen that is nothing that is the true question? Little instigator is what you are.

No one should think that you don't do your own homework. You've never been known to copy off McShay or Kiper's paper. I on the other hand will steal Mayock's answers ASAP

I love Barr/NixRichardson.
All of those guys would look great in Texans gear.
Manziel is the greatest boom/bust guy in the draft. He could be Russell Wilson/Brees or he could be Flutie. Risk/Reward

Re: RockNRandy's 2014 Big Board (Top 50)
I really like mayock alot he does it 24/7 and he admits his wrongs
I might have been a little wrong on Te'o but I would have still drafted him and I still believe in him. He has done it too long and been so good too not draft him.
He can attack the line play multiple schemes and cover
He had one bad game that everyone remembers and has been injured
He is starting this week we will know alot more now after this week and going forth
Any insight you would like too bring to the conversation Texian?

Re: RockNRandy's 2014 Big Board (Top 50)
Just cuz ones successful doesn't mean he will be a good NFL player
And I know you know that SteelB just saying it too say it
He is small, cocky, and a loose cannon
I love watching him play but I'm just giving my honest opinion
I am not a Johnny football hater
I like him don't agree with all of his decisions off the field
But what he does is his life
He is an extremely talented football player
But with size and limitations plus some character concerns and the gun slinger mantality can be crippling too a ball club when your QB is suppose too be accountable and balanced and put you in winnable situations
I just don't see it
But if he does do it at the next level wow that would be awesome
It would be tebow mania all over again but instead Manziel Mania
I just hope in 2014 we hit a solid and well rounded draft
Top 3 RDs should be starters of we draft 3 out of my top 50

Re: RockNRandy's 2014 Big Board (Top 50)
Your opinion on Fales as he is all over the place tonight against Utah State. I have been a fan and he is off slightly so far this season.
I want to be able to recognize the difference between a "want" and a "need" and then I want to be satisfied with getting a need
& so it begins
Re: RockNRandy's 2014 Big Board (Top 50)
That said, I'm seeing a lot of OTs on your list. Hopefully a good one will slide to 32 or so.... we could use one. I'm a Newton fan & think he can recover. But the better that OL is, the better the Texans are.

Re: RockNRandy's 2014 Big Board (Top 50)
I know thunder I agree big on OL because they are diverse and safe
Noticed your Avatar I had high expectations for Quessenberry he will be a starter next year he is too good
I'm not a newton fan
He is a bench player nothing more nothing less he has no business being a starter plain and simple
I'm scared Jerry would actually get smart fire Garrett and draft Manziel and play romo a few more years and then start the Manziel era
I would never stop hearing Johnny football now and then if he was a cowboy my lord the hype would go to a whole new level
But I believe he will go too a good team which is good for him
I will say this I was wrong about Mettenberger and I am very impressed with him this season and Evans is going up lee is going down injured HC fired and seems too be losing motivation to perform at an elite level or maybe it's the pathetic QB play at USC but Lee seems too have lost his mojo
I'm constantly on stock watch but combine will be my deciding factor
I just take those guys off that I feel are too risky and have high bust potential
I don't do drama lazy unproven hype all that stuff
I go with what is certain and proven and has the measurables and the tape too back up their talents
Barr is intriguing but I can't draft a nobody RB to FB to star OLB
He rushes well and is still learning but I don't see Barr running down RB and WR and looks stiff sometimes against the run surprisingly
It's like he thinks too much or doesn't know what he is doing which is possible cuz he is only one full season at OLB
Prolly more comfortable this season
But he is only good at rushing and using his size for rushing not stopping the run
Y'all know how I feel about Johnny
Johnson I don't see it and I don't know why people value him as a desirable prospect
I would be shocked if his stock remains a 1st RD grade after interviews and combine

Re: RockNRandy's 2014 Big Board (Top 50)
Alot will be determined this year too see if he can put those numbers in back to back years and prove he can take advantage of weaker competition
He is not the biggest defiantly not the fastest
He is not the new golden dual threat QB that is desired at the moment
With the QB position being so deep this year I could see Fales slipping very far as teams scoop up skill players and uglies.
I think the Murray's and Mettenbergers and Fales and many many more will go past the 3rd RD
I believe Fales will be off my Top 50 by seasons end to be honest
Alot like last year with Barkley Wilson and others who went mid too late rounds last years draft.
If your not dynamic and a playmaker then a team can't justify selecting you high cuz nowadays anyone can sling the rock
You have too show a special quality for teams too fall in love with you
One has too separate themselves from the pack and Fales as well as others doesn't do that
Right now Fales is just hanging on by his numbers from last year and I'm defiantly monitoring him closely this season
& so it begins
Re: RockNRandy's 2014 Big Board (Top 50)
I think some people confuse mock drafts with best available lists. Big difference & both have their use.
At the same time, Ponder & Locker probably went early as well, but for the Vikings & the Titans.... what are you going to do? It may work out for both of them, who knows?

Re: RockNRandy's 2014 Big Board (Top 50)
That was the year of the lock out and alot of uncertain was swilig around with cap and dates and everything
So those clubs felt they needed too go early on QB and take Ponder and Locker which was a surprise
Gabbert as well
I'm really picky on QB prolly more so then most.
I'm all in on Bridgewater&Boyd&Mariota no one else I would draft to be an immediate starter
Others I like as a grooming future QB
I knew Jamarcus was a just and Calvin Johnson was the real deal
I was all in on Calvin after his freshman year and as I predicted he is the best
I couldn't believe Raiders passed on him for Jamarcus I saw that coming 100 miles away
He sucked at LSU great measurables but that's it no leadership no character no motivation didn't har the right people or circle
A me guy not team guy epic fail
He lost his starting position too Flynn at LSU and pissed a fit about it and then still got drafted #1 overall I was shocked
Raiders are idiots
Vince young I thought would struggle but I didn't anticipate him being so bad
He got Rookie of the year so how which I thought was a bad call
And after that it was down hill and he is not even in the league which is stunning
It's all about above the shoulders and the arm with QB
Jamarcus Young Lienart and many others have shown that much

Re: RockNRandy's 2014 Big Board (Top 50)
Ya that pretty much drops him down into the 30s
He will be a mid 2nd RD selection
Even though he is suspended
He is a very talented safety with good size and speed
Bama pedigree
He will drop before the combine and then grade out well after and rise too 2nd RD status and considering the desire for safeties now and the lack of depth at the position he will be a 2nd RD selection

So with one driver we will have support of every usb card of this company?
Phoronix: Running Nine USB-Based Displays On Linux
Last May we were briefed that DisplayLink would provide open-source driver support on Linux. DisplayLink is a company that makes graphics processors capable of powering high resolution displays that work over a USB connection...
So with one driver we will have support of every usb card of this company?
USB simply doesn't have enough bandwidth to operate a monitor of any useful resolution.
USB3 will probably change this, it has a lot larger bandwidth.
that is pretty awesome!
I can see an application for this in running projectors for presentations. Can do away with the VGA plug on netbooks for example, add in a few more (and more useful) USB plugs.
Are these "graphics cards" capable of running a modern compositing desktop with effects (like KDE 4 or sth.) only using fully opensourced drivers?
THEIR? For crying out loud, Michael, please read the articles before posting them...

Crystal Saga
Crystal Saga Overview
Crystal Saga is a browser-based, anime-style MMORPG. Players can choose from one of five classes (Knight, Rogue, Mage, Priest, and Ranger), each of which has two specializations. From there, players can then go on quests, tame and train pets, participate in daily events, and even go dungeoning with friends. The game world supports open PvP as well as special daily battlegrounds where players can gain ranks, fame, and rewards.
Crystal Saga Screenshots
Crystal Saga Featured Video
Crystal Saga Review
While some MMOs strive for realism, Crystal Saga, published by Reality Squared Games (R2 Games), seeks to follow a more imaginative design. Filled with cute, sometimes chibi-styled enemies and bright, cartoonish graphics, Crystal Saga appears like a mix between The Chosen and Sacred Seasons 2. This browser-based MMORPG offers casual game play with all the bells and whistles, and tons of convenience. But is it charming enough?
A Name and a Face
Character creation in Crystal Saga is very simple. Players may choose a male or female character (by selecting one of ten portraits to represent the character, but choosing a portrait is as far as customization goes. Players then may select one of five classes – Knight, Rogue, Priest, Ranger, or Mage. Once these are selected, and a name is chosen, a character is ready to begin on their journey.
Each class, however, can put points into one of two skill trees: for instance, Knights have access to Retribution (DPS) and Protection (Tank) skill lines. These skill trees offer attacks and passive bonuses geared for both PvE and PvP, as well as a few capstone skills for following a line to its completion. Leveling also grants free stat points which can be assigned to any of five core stats as the player sees fit. After level 30, players can also unlock their "soul" and assign more special stat points to customize their gameplay further.
A World of Story
Crystal Saga is strongly quest-based, and from the first minute in the game, the character will be on a mission most of the time as they level up. There are very few optional or side quests in the game; usually, the player will only have two or three quests at most. The game offers a very clear auto-routing system which allows the gamer to click on the name of an NPC, enemy, or objective (such as a collected item) to route automatically to the next destination, reducing some travel hassle.
Most quests are kill-quests, although a few gathering quests are also in place, and numbers are relatively sane. Most experience will come from quests, and not from grinding on enemies. The experience rate is moderate in the early game – usually the character is just a level behind the quest rewards without an experience boost – although it does slow down and encourage some enemy grinding later on. Luckily, the game also offers an "AFK Battle" system, letting players set conditions on item and skill usage, enemies to fight, and loot settings, then entering an "AFK Protected" mode which allows them to kill monsters endlessly in their local area without being disturbed by player killers. Dungeons are also available for the group-minded.
How Evil Are You?
The world of Crystal Saga also supports open world PvP among players above level 20. Players can be in one of five PvP modes: Peace, Justice, Evil, Guild, and Party. In any of these modes, players can be attacked by other players. Peace mode does not allow the player to attack others, while Justice lets the player hit players only with red names (players who have attacked another recently). Evil is a free-for-all attack mode, while Guild and Party protects those respect groups of players from attacks.
As players gain "PK Levels" through killing others, they will gain a red name and must wait an hour for each PK level to regain their neutral status. Loot can also be earned from players with "red names." There are a few battlegrounds available, which allow a character to pass the initial honor cap gained from killing other players and gain additional rank and rewards. In short, PvP is inevitable in Crystal Saga.
My Best Friend
A robust pet and mount system lets players of Crystal Saga have suitable companions for battle and getting around the world. Starting at level ten, players can go to Monster Island and tame their first pet, either a bear or an archer. Each pet tamed has its own attributes, stat points (that can be assigned as they level), special skills, and specializations, giving several options for players to match complementary pets to their playstyle. Pets can also be morphed into different maturities and forms.
Likewise, at level 15 players will obtain their first mount through a quest (mounts will also be granted at level 30 and 45 through quests). These mounts come with basic speed, and can be upgraded to more impressive appearances and speeds, through the use of mount tokens, found in the cash shop.
Equip Yourself Right
While most equipment will be found as-is off enemies in the world or dungeons, players can enhance their equipment through two systems: socketing and enhancement. Socketing allows players to insert gems, found in the world and through special items, into their gear to add stats. If an item does not have sockets, sockets can be added through a special item. Enhancement, on the other hand, lets players improve the stats already on a piece of gear by adding special enhancement materials. At certain levels of enhancement, weapons will also gain a special glow. Additionally, players can disenchant items for a chance at materials for either equipment boost.
Final Verdict: Fair
Crystal Saga is a pretty browser game, with small painted areas and an anime-style that varies between cute and serious. The game's controls, particularly on the keyboard, are great for a browser game, and are designed to improve access to skills, pets, and mounts while reducing the reliance on the mouse to access the interface and combat. However, the game's automatic systems – which offer a strong casual appeal, as they allow players to spend less time directly on grinding or traveling – are a strong contrast against the game's serious and inescapable PvP nature. The lack of freedom in many aspects, such as creating a character, customization difference, and optional side quests, along with the slow pace of gaining skills and progress, also drags this game's fun factor down. Fans of PvP-centric games who would like something browser-based may find this game appealing, but there are better free-to-play MMOs in a similar style available for download.

Rochester Veterans' Council news
Thursday, November 29, 2012
ROCHESTER — Greetings, we had another busy week. Tuesday we opened the City Council meeting, presenting the colors with the pledge of allegiance, and an opening prayer by RVC Chaplain Bob Crout-Hamel. Then I was honored to present our honorable Mayor TJ Jean with a flag and a certificate that was presented to the Rochester Veterans' Council. This certified that the accompanying flag was flown over the World Trade Center Site on Aug. 14, from 11:31 to 11:36 a.m. The RVC flew four flags over Ground Zero when 12 of us made the trip to New York City. We wanted to give it to the mayor because he is the head of the RVC, and he and the city councilors get permits for different functions we have in the city. Councilor Steve Hervey is the RVC Rep. for the Rochester City Council.

Christoph Rainer, the young head chef at Hotel Villa Rothschild Kempinski, favours contemporary classic cuisine with modern touches and has rapidly cooked his way to the top in the Rhine-Main region.
The gourmet restaurant in this former Rothschild family residence opened in April 2007, and Christoph Rainer was at a high level when he arrived, but since then he has climbed steadily higher. His cuisine is classic French through and through, but it was not long before he discovered how to add his own accents. In the early days, his mediterranean flavour nuances were distinctly more rustic, but they have become more targeted and more subtle, especially in the last two years. Rainer has achieved this by elaborating the different elements more carefully and by placing them in an even more harmonious context. His menus, which now flow more homogeneously, are impressive illustrations of the power that contemporary cuisine has to enthral and surprise.
One glorious triumph is Rainer's goose liver with apple and coriander, which seems much leaner and lighter than traditional goose liver dishes, owing to a complex interplay between sweetness and acidity, and the vegetability of the coriander, without forfeiting any intensity of taste. His Breton sea bass as a crispy sandwich with artichokes and pata negra also demonstrates Rainer's well-judged flavour combinations. He wraps the fish in thin focaccia slices and creates a wonderfully earthy/smoky duality that is an excellent match for the creamy artichoke à la nage and is rounded off with a little sweet paprika. Other exquisite creations include his saddle of lamb cooked in spiced milk with cold tzatziki, black garlic and aubergine , and his unusual dessert of fromage blanc, iced kefir and hibiscus.

The IT companies have destroyed musicians. It is now almost literally impossible to make a living at being a musician in our current economic structure. Spotify nets musicians next to nothing. iTunes is slightly better, but the streaming sites get around standard usage rates. As much as the record companies screwed over artists over the years, it is nothing compared to what IT companies have done t them. People pretty much don't expect artists to get paid for their creations.
While I do agree with that Oatmeal (if you don't offer your content legally, people will steal it -- "you can't stop the signal"), I do think there is a real troubling problem with consumers. We've been trained by IT companies like Google and Apple that content is supposed to be free, or close to it. For companies that will sue the ever-living shite out of anyone who encroached on their IP, they have no problem with encouraging consumers to steal the IP of "content producers", or as I like to call them, "the people who actually write this shite."
The IT companies have destroyed musicians. It is now almost literally impossible to make a living at being a musician in our current economic structure.

People pretty much don't expect artists to get paid for their creations.
It's wrong. Everyone gets rich but the person who actually makes the stuff. Eventually, this means they'll stop making this stuff. We are trying to morally justify not paying people who actually create things.
How do we bring value to media products
1) But who decides cost? It's a core business principal that is thrown into chaos because of both the internet and the idea of "media" in the first place. Cost is negotiated between the consumer and producer (in most non-subsidized instances).
2) Then, isn't up to the producer to figure out how to make money in such a market?
The market does. But the biggest error artists ever made was giving things away for free on the internet in its early days. We have, essentially, a free internet including virtually all content. You can't put the genie back in the bottle and try and charge people for it. It's free ice cream.
Hey, that's what happens. But the moral arguments for it just make me sick: we liked getting free shite and now we don't want to pay for it, even armed with the knowledge artists are getting paid virtually nothing. We don't care. We, as consumers, have no moral values other than the lowest cost point. I think that's sad. That's how capitalism works, so I wouldn't advocate any kind of interference in the market, but let's not try and dress this up as anything what it is: we expect musicians and writers to give us their work for free.
Yes, it is. And they do. but we also don't need to keep stacking the deck against them like recalculating how we pay royalties on streaming media to further screw them. Or coming up with arbitrary and bizarre IP laws which protect media conglomerates like Disney but not artists like, for example, Jack Kirby. I'm not saying Kirby deserves all of Marvel's profits or anything, but the fact he has no control over his creations, and made virtually no money on it, is pretty sad. Stan Lee should cut him a million dollar check every year out of guilt.
Things costs what they cost. And yes, it is up to producers to find a way to make a living. but it is undeniable it is growing increasingly difficult, especially in music, and a big part of it is the diminunization of artists into content producers.
I pay for more my media because I want the artist to get paid, and make more of it. I wish more people felt that way, but they clearly do not.
You wouldn't buy the DVDs.
how about that gigantic shoe box of cassette tapes and 8-tracks you own in the attic? are you justified in downloading a FLAC of the japanese limited edition DARK SIDE OF THE MOON because you own an old LP or 8track of it?
downloading the walking dead episode torrent from sunday night because of fricking rain fade and DISH didn't record it to your DVR or Obama was on tv and so your recording failed to properly grab the tv show you've already paid for?
what about checking out a DVD from the public library and watching it without paying for it? is that stealing?
i don't think we are talking about the law, we are talking about the morality around it
Unfortunately, your personal inconvenience doesn't override the law in this case.
Of course, but really is it morally reprehensible to steal something you pay for but missed because of draconian access issues?

Again, a Warchief is going to exist. It's too iconic to remove. The issue is the person behind the title. Is it a moderate character like Thrall that gives all the other races respect and the ability to govern themselves? Or is it like Garrosh, who simply uses his power to boss the other races around? It's not the position that's the issue, it's how the one in power utilizes it.
I still think Thrall is the only one that makes sense.
I can say as someone who took time to read all past lore on the horde, I learned about the mistakes of the orcs past, why there leadership went under, why orcs keep repeating the same mistakes, and honestly, those who thought Garrosh was so great all were clueless about the hordes past and why it failed the way it did.
Okay i figured it out, Koltira. Its out of nowhere, we weren't expecting it and he'll be strict with sylvannas because she was mean to him. Also with Blizzards logic they will probably implement this through a horde wide lottery for who will be Warchief, he will pick up his lottery ticket from the Goblin Kiwk e Mart and WAHLA! Warchief Koltira!
"I hated hating Garrosh before it was cool."
Besides, and now speaking about lore coherence, the Horde as a society doesnt know if the nextr oen will be a tyrant or not, unless the leader is someone that has already been leader and hasn't been a tyrant, whcih is Thrall.
Now, some people dont care about lore having some logic, i do.
The orcs, and by extension the horde, has always been lead by the wrong kind of person in the past, Blackhand, and the manipulations of gul'dan was what dammed the orc race. Doomhammer might have seemed better but all doomhammer did was steer an out of control locomotive into a crash. The blackrock clan lead by blackhands sons have them making bargins with the black dragonflight which lead to its downfall, and now Garrosh is following his his daddies footsteps, peppered with blackhand and his mentality, showing he wants to dominate all, at the expense of anyone be thinks below him.
Thrall was the only difference and the only decent leader the horde has had, because he put the horde as one first, lead them to freedom and had the horde build up strength when it was at its weakest. The horde became something different as a result, not a dark testiment to the legion or warlocks, but a great assemblage of noble savage warriors and shamans and others. Thrall was the only difference, because he was different to all other orc leaders, and it worked because the orcs as a race are there own worst enemy.
i think vol'jin or baine would make a great warchief it would actually give me something to kind of be proud of when im playing my horde characters.
for my alliance characters i can always be like "FOR LO'GOSH @_@"
but right now my horde characters are like "meh guess i gotta do stuff"
"I was a normal baby for 30 seconds, then ninjas stole my mamma" - Deadpool
"so what do we do?" "well jack, you stand there and say 'gee rocket raccoon I'm so glad you brought that Unfeasibly large cannon with you..' and i go like this BRAKKA BRAKKA BRAKKA" - Rocket Raccoon
There's no ingame event yet that passed the power over to Garrosh entirely and for good.
It's therefore absolutely legit to call on him for aid.
I still consider Nazgrim an option not impossible. We've had him in our face now for 2 expansions.Very actively involved on the front lines. Experienced General.
Just something the Orcs need. And he didn't really show any cruelty either.
A new land, he says. Paint it red, he says. *Sigh*
Blood in the soil, makes for more toil! Tell the bloody earth, a new Horde to give birth!
It seems to me he is more tired of fighting and killing then Garrosh, he say's these whens he is pissed so its when he really lets you see he truely wants change?
"I hated hating Garrosh before it was cool."
These facts are held in the lore books which as, if not more canon then anything ingame (since any lore ingame is spoiled by the players own avatar getting in the way all the time)
Still, I could see him being a major figure in the rebellion when the time comes. Maybe his time with the Pandaren over at Eastwind Refuge rubs off on him a bit and he starts seeing the war against the Alliance in a new light. Then perhaps he's given an unconscionable order, and is pushed firmly into the rebel camp.
Roleplaying, hardcore Raiding, running LFR on the occasional weekend, PvPing, rolling alts, achievement hunting, pet battling, or just enacting an endless series of whims, I don't care how you play WoW. Just as long as you have fun doing it.

Shrimp Dumplings (Har Gow/虾饺)
Today, I wanted to introduce you to the sweet and adorable Shao of FriedWontons4U. Twitter has become a great platform to discover new food blogs and I found FriedWontons4U a few months ago. FriedWontons4U chronicles Shao's cooking and travel adventures. Shao came from Guangzhou—the birthplace of exquisite Cantonese cuisine—so we decided on shrimp dumplings or har gow (虾饺), arguably the most popular dim sum ever! Please welcome Shao to Rasa Malaysia and do leave her your comments. Her shrimp dumplings/har gow look absolutely inviting and yummy!
If there was ever an official mascot for dim sum, "har gow" would definitely be a strong contender. What's not to love about? Pump and juicy shrimp just barely visible through its clear dumpling skin, what a tease to the senses. A dim sum meal without it would not be complete for me. Growing up I was lucky enough to live within walking distance to many Chinese restaurants in Philadelphia, and most of my Sunday afternoons were spent eating dim sum. With all my years of eating har gow, I never tried making it until early this year. This recipe is a combination from what I have learned from watching how my mom and dad makes it, and how my uncle makes it.
There are usually two types of filling you would find in har gow.
Number one: A lump of shrimp meat usually with mince size pieces of bamboo.
Number two: Minced shrimp combined with either bamboo or water chestnut.
I prefer filling number two. When you bite into it, the elasticity of the minced shrimp mixture is a nice contrast against the transparent skin. Don't worry about getting a bamboo steamer if you don't have one. Simply line a regular steamer or a plate with either napa cabbage or thin slices of carrots.

I love har gow, this looks so good. Yummy, thanks for this recipe from FriendWontons4u.
Your dumplings look fantastic! I just recently made chiu chow dumplings for the first time and had a lot of fun with them. I'm looking forward to trying har gow sometime soon!
Thanks for this recipe specially for the dough!
Your har gow looks like the ones served at dim sum restaurants. Beautiful and I can see the pink-color shrimp inside the har gow. Yummy!
Have never been to Guangzhou and would love to sample the dim sum there one day.
Thank you NYMY! Wish I could wrap it as fast as my mom. It took me forever to shape one in the beginning, but now I'm a little better at it. If you're around Hong Kong it's only about a 2hr train ride to Guangzhou.
Kate and momgateway, glad you like the recipe! Please let me know if you have any questions on it.
Lisa, I think the only main difference between chiu chow dumplings and har gow is the stuffing and maybe the shape of it. So if you can make chiu chow dumplings you can definitely make har gow!
Pingback:Shrimp Dumplings (Har Gow) - My guest post on Rasa Malaysia! | FriedWontons4u
looks nice….looking at it makes my mouth water….
So true. What's not to like indeed. There are restaurants serving this don't look as good as yours!
Thanks! The best part about making it at home is you know what's in your food. MSG free.
Wow, you've laid -out beautifully and simply a 'how to' on a dish that I wouldn't think would be possible for me to make at home. Your introduction on har gow is beautiful, it's true this is the poster child for dim sum!
It looks perfect. Thanks for the recipe.
YUM! my absolute favorite item to get at dim sum!!! i'll have to try this recipe out- tried one before, but trying to get the dough right nearly put me over the edge!
Hope this recipe will work out for you. Let me know if you have any questions.
bamboo?? bamboo shoot??
Bamboo shoots. If you don't want to use bamboo shoots, I have seen some restaurants add water chestnuts instead.
However we believe siew mai should be the no 1 contender as it is associated with the signature Chinese mother of all meats !
Do I hear a food fight?! Har Gow vs. Siew Mai!
Dim sum is definitely one of my most favourite snacks (meal actually). They are like little bite sized bits of heaven.
These look amazing! very mouthwatering and it's making hungry
Spectacular. Lining the steamer with vegetables is something I'd never thought of previously – such a great idea.
i never loved har gow that much before i read this post, i prefered siew mai~
but now i really have the desire for a bunch of har gow, really hungry!!! =]
I completely agree that they are mascots of dim sum!! Thanks for sharing the recipe, the last time I tried to make them, the skins broke!
That happen to me the first time I rolled out my dough. Don't roll it too thin. Cook about 4 or 5 test dumplings before making the rest to test out the thickness of the dough.
wow nice. can you sent me the recipes to my email please.
I would like to know what is wheat starch exactly
THis seems to have eluded me. I live in Geneva how can I get ahold of wheat starch locally…can it be substituted with something else ?
Fusion, you can find wheat starch in most Asian grocery stores. It should be in the same aisle as the tapioca starch. I don't think you could substitute wheat starch for anything else, although I might be wrong, but if you do it might turn out to be a different type of dough. The combination of the wheat starch plus the tapioca starch gives the har gow skin that transparent look.
thanks so much for sharing the recipe.
This is my all time favorite thing to eat! I think I can easily wobble down at least 5!
I'm very tempted to try this recipe!
Thanks for posting and for sharing!
can i substitute tapioca starch with corn flour?
Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe! I have tried this using different ingredients and see which will suite the shrimp best!
hi, i was wondering how many har gow this recipe yields (approximately). thank you!

Hi! I tried this recipe today and it was the best Har Gow recipe i've tried yet! I've tried alot of Har Gow recipes, but this is the closest I've come to restaurant quality Har Gow. The pork fat adds a really nice creaminess to the texture of it. Thankyou for sharing, this is one recipe I'm sure to make again.
i love to eat har goa also. I have been trying to make it but everytime i failed. This recipe help me a lot…thanks…
I just made Har Gow with my chinese grandmother today. This recipe is pretty much the exact same recipe as our family recipe! (we use oil instead of lard) I love these dumplings!
PS. LOVE your site ;)
I'm a big fan of this blog and have tried many recipes with great success. But!!! I can't seem to get the har gow recipe right =[ the filling turns out delicious but the wrapper never works out. It stays extremely sticky and does not keep it's shape ( bounce back to original form after rolling and flattening) the color of the dough is also yellow not white. And when I do try to steam it, the dough turns into a sticky goopy mess. Doesn't even turn clear. What did I do wrong?? Help please

Hi, wheat four is 澄粉. If we use Har Gow wrapper flour, just add in water ?? As I have not heard of this powder before, may be only sold on overseas as I stay in Penang. Thanks.
Wow, you made the Har Gow so, so beautiful. I can't, will try more often.
I'm dying to try Har Gow. I've never tasted it but don't need to – I already know it'll be delicious.
My problem is that I can't get wheat flour. I live in Mexico, and there's a very wonderful grocery store here that caters to us foreign residents with a delightful variety of international foods, including many Chinese ones.
But no wheat flour. I can get – and DO have already – rice flour, corn flour (cornstarch) and tapioca flour. If I used rice or tapioca flour in place of the wheat starch, might I get the same result?
The cooking properties of all three of these are extremely similar. They should all result in a dough that cooks up semi-transparent, and taste isn't likely to matter much since any starch is almost tasteless. But that isn't all that's needed. Will the dumplings hold together if I use these other starches? Will they cook into a goo? Or lack enough body to hold their shape before steaming?
Has anyone tried making Har Gow with tapioca starch or rice starch instead of wheat starch? What were the results?
My mum's parents are Guangzhou ex-pats so I decided I have been neglecting my heritage for too long!
I made these today and they were fantastic!
I have always been a little bit scared of making them because of the hype around them but they were so easy!
Do I have to use pork fat?
Thank-you for the recipe. They only had high protein wheat starch at my Asian grocer. I used that with the tapioca starch and the dough was not translucent. It was sticky and soft. What is high protein wheat starch used for?
I have tried the recipe, but unluckily, I am not satisfied with the result. It is not as shiny as what I see on the picture. Could it be something wrong with the dough? Thus, the wrapper easily broken after cooking. I really want to perfect them. Can you give me an advice?
