A key experience of a college education is the opportunity to live and study with people from diverse backgrounds. This is uniquely true at NYU, where students are prepared to enter an increasingly global society by studying at campuses throughout the world. For this reason, geographic diversity is be a variable in the room assignment process for first year students. This model will reflects the University's value that students should network across geographic differences. It is important to note that this restricts a student's ability to request another incoming student as a roommate for their first year in residence.
The following criteria are considered when assignments are made for incoming freshmen residents:
Students may not submit requests for specific roommates during their freshman year at NYU, as we feel it is an important for all new students to meet new people, expand their interests, broaden their understanding of different regions and cultures, and stretch their comfort zones with all that NYU's global network has to offer. We want our residents to celebrate each others commonalities and expect that they will respect each others differences.
Exceptions to this policy will be considered for compelling reasons. Requests for an exception must be submitted no later than May 15, 2015. Students should contact Dee Soaries at 212-998-4633 or firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

For decades upon decades, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy's brand of humour have been the inspiration behind many of today's (and yesterday's) comedians. Today, almost 100 years since they first graced our screens, their movies are still loved worldwide by audiences of all ages, yet they are rarely seen on mainstream television these days. The BBC have told us that if we can get at least 20,000 signatures on this petition to prove that the public want to see Laurel and Hardy films on mainstream television again, then they will listen. Don't let future generations miss out on the works of Laurel and Hardy. sign today and share with your friends.

The Syrian regime's intimidation campaign
The Syrian regime's intimidation campaign. The controversial video of a Pakistani preacher. Google Street View is heading for the Amazon.
Syrian regime carries out intimidation campaign
Civilians arrested or beaten by Syrian security forces … these images, which are difficult to verify were apparently filmed in the Hauran region and bear witness to the intimidation campaign launched by Bashar al-Assad's regime to keep protesters off the streets and put an end to the unrest which has rocked the country over the past few months.
There has reportedly been a sharp escalation in acts of violence against opponents of the Syrian president, as this video suggests. We see a burning taxi in the city of Homs, it was set alight by soldiers to show residents that acts of protest would not be tolerated and severely punished. This amateur footage suggests the campaign of terror has also hit Deir al-Zor, we see burning mopeds and residents trying to put out fires after forces loyal to Bashar al-Assad set their homes alight.
Other reports say troops have been deployed en masse in several cities, to increase pressure on protesters, as we can see in this video filmed in the Hauran region where tanks have been stationed on every street corner. There is apparently also a heavy military presence in Aleppo, with soldiers patrolling the main streets of the city, to intimidate potential protesters.
This intimidation campaign does not appear to have deterred the people of Syria however and they continue their fight to bring down the government. There have been rallies on a daily basis in dozens of cities across the country like Damascus, Idlib and Hama, to demonstrate the people's determination to see an end to the bloody dictatorship of Bashar al-Assad.
Pakistan: islamic televangelist criticized after online revelations
Ever since this video was circulated around the web in Pakistan, Dr Aamir Liaquat Hussain has been at the center of online debate. It shows the well-known religious television personality in a very bad light. The 10 minute video was uploaded by an anonymous web user and features a compilation of behind the scenes extracts from his TV show. The preacher is shown making blasphemous comments and insulting the producers and technicians.
The image we have of him here is very different to what we see on the official web site of the former State Minister for Religious Affairs. Pakistan's favourite Islamic preacher and televangelist reacted to the video shortly after its release via his Twitter account, saying it was a hoax, and had been edited and dubbed professionally.
Web users are not convinced, and have been using social networks and Facebook in particular, to say how happy they are to see his hypocrisy revealed for all to see. Some are calling for a boycott of the preacher's TV programme.
Online comedians have been seeking inspiration from the story and there has been an influx of satirical features and other parodies of Dr Hussain, like this one, onto sharing sites.
And although the preacher has received widespread criticism, he can count on a vast online support network. Supporters have been expressing their doubts over the authenticity of the controversial video, saying it is a set-up designed to tarnish the preacher's reputation.
And whilst the conspiracy theory remains a possibility, the writer of this blog feels the case does highlight the power of social networks, and how they can be used to ruin the reputations of public figures, regardless of how famous or well respected they are.
Split family faces
Ulric Collette is a photographer from Quebec and has based his latest project on family resemblances by studying the facial similarities between a mother and daughter or two brothers for example. The artist has taken photos of two family members and reassembled them to produce these split family faces, with startling results.
Google street view goes to the Amazon
Not even the Amazon can hide from Google Street View … The service that allows users to explore places from all over the world will soon be able to take us along the Amazon river and the surrounding villages. The project is currently in progress, and is being run in partnership with the Sustainable Amazon Foundation.
Video of the day
This video could be a scene straight out of the film « Full Metal Jacket ». But it's actually showing us what the first five minutes are like for new recruits at the US Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego, and it's far from relaxing … as soon as they get off the bus, the future elite soldiers are ordered about by drill instructors, and are expected to submit to iron discipline straightaway. The video, which was produced by the US army, give us an insight of the tough times in store for these new recruits as they complete their training.

Turmeric Chicken
If you read this blog, you will know that I love Malay cooking. Every time I go back to Malaysia, I never miss out Malay food, especially Malay nasi campur (rice plates) or nasi Melayu, where I get to choose the dishes to go with a plate of steamed white rice. I always go crazy with the wide selections—rendang, chicken in spicy sauce, sambal sotong, egg sambal, sambal okra, and the list goes on. Every single dish is so enticing and mouthwatering and I just wanted to eat them all. Sometimes, I would have 5 or 6 dishes on top of the steamed rice. I love it, because Malay food absolutely rocks in the taste department.
One of the dishes I love is turmeric chicken (ayam goreng kunyit or ayam masak kunyit). Depending on where you get this dish from, the chicken could be deep fried (hence the word "goreng") or just simply cooked in a simple stir-fry. Out of all the dry spices, I am partial to turmeric, or kunyit. Growing up, we used a lot of turmeric in our kitchen; turmeric adds a beautiful yellow color to the food and lends the exotic nuance and aroma to every dish that we made at home. This dish is no exception as the turmeric makes the chicken intensely tasty. The onion, red chili, and French beans add to the texture, presentation, and flavor of the overall dish.
Most people don't like to deep fry chicken at home, so this is my take on the traditional Malay turmeric chicken, or ayam masak kunyit. It's a simple stir-fry dish that anyone can make at home, and takes less than 30 minutes to make.

My mum used to make ayam goreng kunyit when I was a kid and it was one of my favourite dishes! So glad you shared this recipe. Is there any chance you can also publish the deep fried version of it?
Remember having this dish at a wok stand in KL. Inchi Kabin also another favorite chicken classic I can't wait to get back having in Msia next year.
Yum! I have a pack of tumeric powder at home. I'm bookmarking this for weeknight meals. How long can tumeric powder be stored?
I've got turmeric powder here already but my local greengrocer has just started stocking the fresh root. What would be the fresh equivalent of the powdered turmeric? Also have you got any more recipes for using turmeric? I've read that it has some really good health qualities so now that I can get it fresh I'll start using it more often. Thanks for your help.

Lobster and Mushroom Somen
A few days ago, my good friend Alice at Eat A Duck I Must texted me that I ought to try out their lobster somen recipe, citing that it takes only 15 minutes to prepare and it's their ultimate go-to summer lunch dish. She even sent me a picture of the dish. At the sight of their gorgeous photo, I knew that I had to make it. It's also a great coincidence that lobsters are on sale at $6.95 per pound in my Asian store. The timing couldn't be better.
Somen, a type of Japanese noodles, is popular especially during summertime in Japan. Somen is usually served cold in a dashi-flavored sauce. The sweetest thing about this lobster and mushroom somen is that it took me practically 15 minutes to make, and the final dish was refined, thanks to the grilled mushrooms and lobster claw as the toppings. It was delicious, and utterly satisfying slurping down cold noodles with the cleanest of flavors. It is a PERFECT summer recipe!
I adapted the original recipe and added in a little extra touches: I poached the lobster claws and then grilled them with some butter. This adds a nice aroma and buttery taste to the already delicious lobster. I also brushed some butter to the oyster mushrooms before grilling. They were simply perfect for the cold somen. If you don't have lobster, you can use shrimp or scallop. I am sure the somen will taste mouthwatering nonetheless. Bon appetit!

Sounds delicious and looks even better! One question – Do I add the tsuyu or soup base to the water that the noodles were cooked in, or to a separate pot?
Looks good, but I'm a little confused… if we are boiling the lobster claws and then removing the meat and putting it aside, then when are we brushing the claws with butter and grilling them? Why would we grill the claws after we've already cooked and removed the meat?
Julie – check the ingredients list, the 1.5 cups water is for the soup base.
Mark – you brush the butter when you grill the lobster claws. The grilling adds depth, aroma, and more taste to the lobster.
I understand that. What I don't understand is why we would grill the claws after your instructions tell us to boil them for 5 minutes and then remove the meat? Is grilling an alternative cooking method to boiling in your recipe? It's a little confusing the way it is written in the recipe. I'm sorry for dwelling on this point.
A lot of foods can be pre-cooked and then grilled, for extra flavors. You can just use the poached lobster and there is no need to grill if you don't want the extra flavors and aroma. Up to you. Grilling is not an alternative method to boiling. It's an additional step to make the lobster claw taste even better. A poached and cracked lobster claw tastes pretty bland to me, but after a couple of minutes of grilling with butter, it's a completely different thing.
This looks yummy!
Wow, I will be right over!!! I wish! It looks so delicious and I'm hungry. I love your easy recipes! So nice with my busy life.
This sounds delicious, looks wonderful, I can't wait to make it. Can you tell me where to buy Tsuyu?
Thanks for the recipe! For the grilling part, do you just have a mesh grate over your indoor kitchen gas stove? I was wondering if I could do that, or if there would be harmful soot or bad flavors from the gas stove.
Whoa, this does sound very easy! Except that you know in Malaysia lobster costs an arm and a foot. But totally replicable with the large prawns I got from my mom. All the way from Sekinchan! Super fresh and sweet.
I'm always trying to come up with new meal ideas…thank you

- Wood Bowed
Best Uses
- Extending growing season
Overall a good product, however, if I had had the time, I think I would have been able to build this for the same price or less. There is only one size for the opening, so I purchased automatic vent openers, however thier installation reduces the amount of growing space by about a square foot. Also one of the boards was slightly bowed, but easily was pushed and held back into place with a 1x2.
I was most pleased with the corner brackets being air tight, but was left wanting with how the top window edge lines up with the back board.
The window is of good construction and overall the product was easy to build.
For those who are handy, build your own, for those who want easy set up, this is your item!

I bought the product to save the time and effort of asking my husband to build me a cold frame. I like this cold frame because it fits well on my deck in the area I selected for it and it will allow me to grow salad greens right next to my kitchen. I think I will also get one for one of my raised beds, as well, as it will fit nicely on the raised bed I have in mind for a cold frame.

Eddie Van Halen Recalls Recording 'Beat It' Solo
Tuesday, December 4, 2012
30 years after the release of Michael Jackson's Thriller, Eddie Van Halen remembers recording his genre-busting solo to "Beat It." "Beat It" was the third single from Thriller -- which was originally released on November 30th, 1982 -- and featured Eddie Van Halen's heavy metal guitar overdub, which was recorded during a Van Halen break, while on tour.
Van Halen remembered the session, telling CNN, that producer Quincy Jones gave him carte blanche to make the solo his own: "I listened to the song, and I immediately go, 'Can I change some parts?' I turned to the engineer and I go, ''OK, from the breakdown, chop in this part, go to this piece, pre-chorus, to the chorus, out.' Took him maybe 10 minutes to put it together. And I proceeded to improvise two solos over it."
Van Halen, who wasn't credited on the album, actually remembers a comical scene at L.A.'s Tower Records shortly after the album's release: "The solo comes on, and I hear these kids in front of me going, 'Listen to this guy trying to sound like Eddie Van Halen.' I tapped him on the shoulder and said, 'That is me!' That was hilarious. I have a lot of respect for Michael. He's going to be sorely missed. I'd be curious as to what he'd be doing right now."

L'Ange du bizarre : le romantisme noir de Füssli à Max Ernst

Posted: Thu Mar 14 2013
Robed in the shadows of Shakespeare's sorcerers, Milton's demons and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, the dark aspects of romanticism invade the Musée d'Orsay this spring. The genre has given us Goya's war paintings, Géricault's shipwrecks and the phantom creatures of Füssli, all drawing on the heritage of British and German literature of the 18th and 19th centuries. The works enliven the very idea of 'romanticism' by going beyond the stereotype of the melancholy dreamer: here, it's nightmares and the more obscure parts of human nature that count. From the oppressive landscapes of Caspar David Friedrich to the tortured shadows of expressionist German cinema, this exhibition explores the macabre and tormented in art history through 200 works that encompass German romanticism, industrial revolution and surreal fantasies.

Private Investigator Says Whitney Houston Was Murdered
Thursday, December 27, 2012
A top Hollywood investigator has claimed that Whitney Houston was murdered. According to The National Enquirer, Paul Huebl said that he has evidence -- the singer's killers are caught on tape. He explained, "I have evidence that points to Whitney being a victim of a high powered drug dealers who sent thugs to collect a huge debt she owed for drugs." The PI spoke with a network of drug informants and took another look at the coroner to gather evidence -- which he is turning over the Chicago field office of the FBI.
Huebl said that two unknown men kept showing up at The Beverly Hills Hilton where Whitney was staying and blended in with her entourage. Huebl said that the day before Whitney's death, she received a cocaine delivery but was later heard saying "I'm tired of this sh*t" -- which he claims was Whitney referring to her $1.5 million drug debt. On February 11th -- the day Whitney died, she was left alone in her hotel room for 45 minutes and that's when one or both killers went into her room and were caught on surveillance video.
Huebl also disagrees with the coroner's report that no foul play was involved, saying,"Whitney's body shows classic defense wounds that would have occurred while she was battling for her life." He said that her injuries and evidence points to a struggle in the last minutes of her life in her hotel room.

Bloodline Champions
UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
Bloodline Champions Overview
Bloodline Champions is a team based PvP MMO where two teams of up to five players on each side battle it out on various arenas. Gameplay in Bloodline Champions is fast paced and the controls are very similar to those found in a FPS. Besides being team oriented, the game is also highly skill based. There are no critical hits, minimum/maximum damage ranges, or other random elements. Each hero (called a champion) has its unique set of skills and victory is determined by proper teamwork and execution. While the game will be free to play, free users will only have access to 4 heroes at a time. Access to the full set of features and hero roster will require one-time purchases and a premium subscription.
Healing Champions - Alchemist, Psychopomp, Herald, Astronomer
Ranged Champions - Igniter, Gunner, Nomad, Engineer
Tank Champions - Glutton, Vanguard, Inhibitor, Thorn
Melee Champions - Harbinger, Spear Master, Ranid Assassin, Ravener

Bloodline Champions Review
By, Jaime Skelton
The blend of casual gameplay and intense PvP has made MOBAs – multi-player online battle arenas, also known by AOS (Aeon of Strife) or DotA (Defense of the Ancients) games – increasingly popular. Bloodline Champions is published by Funcom (known for Age of Conan), and gives a slight spin on the traditional setup found in League of Legends or Heroes of Newerth. With a somewhat simplified take on character management and gameplay, Bloodline Champions may make a great entry point for the less serious arena player.
It's Easy Being Green
A new player who enters Bloodline Champions for the first time will be met with a pop-up encouraging them to take a brief tutorial. This is, of course, highly recommended for any player. The tutorial explains the basic menus of the game, and then places the newbie into a simple combat tutorial with a ranged character where skills and hotkeys will be introduced. Players of games like League of Legends will find the controls very similar, while the first-time arena player will find them fairly intuitive, designed for simple keyboard movement and skill use, while the mouse is used for targeting.
Choosing Your Bloodline
Like other free-to-play DotA-style games, Bloodline Champions offers a selection of characters – here, known as Bloodlines – to play for free, with the rest available for purchase. There are twenty-one Bloodlines split across four archetypes – melee, range, tank, and healer. Each archetype is designed to a different role: melee is designed for up front, quick damage; tanks are designed as a combination of crowd control and damage; range is designed for ranged damage (often with AoE); and healers are designed for healing as well as crowd control. Each character within these bloodlines are relatively balanced with skill selection, but some characters do prove a little stronger in certain game modes or team combinations.
Unlike other arena games, however, the selection of which of these characters that are available for free changes on a weekly basis. Four bloodlines – one from each archetype – are available for free each week on a set rotation. This means that for the first few weeks you play, you'll be getting used to each of the characters and learning their skills as well as how they work in a team. Each champion can also be purchased permanently through either Funcom Points, virtual currency paid in cash, or through Blood Coins, in-game currency earned through playing matches.
The Ultimate Skills
Each bloodline champion comes with a set of six regular skills and one skill called an "Ultimate Ability." Two basic skills (bound to left and right mouse buttons) have short cooldowns and offer the character's basic abilities. The remaining four skills have longer cooldowns, but offer much more powerful attacks, crowd control, or additional healing. Most skills either help the player gain energy (a resource used to activate skills), or use a portion of the energy a player currently has.
The ultimate ability is a bloodline's unique ability which can make a major impact on the battlefield. In order to be able to use this ability, the player must build up their energy bar to 100%. Using this ability will also use up all the energy, but can provide a major turning point in a battle.
Size Matters
Besides their skills, bloodlines are defined by their four basic stats, which are unique per each character. Health represents how much each bloodline can take before it dies, while recovery health marks the amount of health that character can be healed when it loses health – any healing done past this point is wasted. Movement speed reflects how fast the bloodline runs, making some characters a little faster than others. Finally, a bloodline's size – the literal height and width of the character on the screen – defines each character's ability to block, as well as how easily they can be hit.
Bring It On: The Arenas
Once you've hammered out the basics, it's time to jump in the game. Games are created in the Bloodline Champions lobby, where players have the choice of creating single player games – set against bots with half the earnings of a regular game – or creating or joining a match in progress with other players. All game modes can be set to anywhere from 1v1 to the traditional 5v5. None of the game modes feature the traditional set up of towers, lanes, altars, or NPCs found in League of Legends or similar games.
There are three game modes. Arena is a basic "fight to the death" game, where players can join in on one of several relatively small maps. Arenas are held for a number of rounds, and the first team to win the set amount of rounds for the match wins the match. This mode is the most popular mode, especially in the regular multi-player lobby. Capture the Artifact is a "capture the flag" style game which grants points to the team who controls both their artifact and the opposing team's. Conquest mode offers three locations that a team must control in order to win, while guarding against the other team.
Ladders and More
Naturally, a competitive PvP game is going to feature more than just random matches and a single player mode. Each player gains experience as they play games, as well as ranking based on their general skill level. These are then used to help players enter Ladder Games, which let players go either solo, in pre-made teams, or in a tournament, against other players of equal skill. These ladder games are more rewarding and also grant an additional currency, tokens, which can be used for special purchases in the game's marketplace.
Final Verdict: Good
Bloodline Champions is a great game for the more casual gamer, and for those who find the strategy and teamwork required in other DotA-like games frustrating. While teamwork is still required to succeed in any match (excluding 1v1), less depends on a single player knowing their role and strategy on each map and with each team composition. Because of that, Bloodline Champions is gentler to pick-up teams.
Still, Bloodline Champions' simplification of arena games – a lack of talents or a choice of skills, lack of useful equipment, and a reduced element of strategy – also makes it less appealing. The game play can become quickly repetitive, and with little to show in the way of progression – other than gaining rank to access more difficult arena matches – Bloodline Champions makes a better pick up PvP game than something to spend regular time on.

The State Fair will soon be upon us. Hans Junga is organizing the efforts with an assist from Rob Sorrensen and a plethora of volunteers. Many have already contacted Hans, but more help is needed. Hans can be contacted by phone at 315-482-6438 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com
The opportunity to sell honey at the fair is available to all ESHPA members. ESHPA will pay 4.00/lb for honey; the requirements are:
1. NY honey only
2. 1 million dollars in liability insurance
3. Producers only
4. Members of ESHPA only.
Product that can be sold at the fair include honey packed in either glass or plastic, creamed honey, candles and soap, lip balm, hand creams, polishes and creams.
Also keep in mind the honey competition at the fair. Catagories, rules, and entry forms are available at the NY State Fair web page (www.NYSFair.org). Hover on the "COMPETITIONS" tab and click "HOW TO ENTER". Then under Find A Competition choose "Agriculture – Farm Products" from the Category drop down, enter "Commercial Conventional and Organic Fruit, Vegetables, Maple & Honey" from the Subcategory drop down and click SEARCH. "Division F" (pages 10 and 11) contains 9 different classes for the honey show entries.. Deadline for forms and fees is July 23rd. If the online instructions are too daunting, Hans will have information at the picnic.
Entries can be dropped off in the office at the Horticulture Building the week before the fair starts, or, preferably, at the honey display the day before the fair, Wednesday, August 22nd. The judging will take place on Thursday morning, August 23rd. The honey ompetition will be judged by Dr. Nicolas Calderone.
Finally, Danielle Dale, the 2012 American Honey Princess, will be sponsored by ESHPA at the NYS Fair, August 27-30. She will speak to fairgoers about the importance of honeybees to agriculture and how honeybee pollination gives our world diversity. Many thanks go out to the Girl Scouts (GirlScouts.org) for providing housing and transportation for Danielle. This is also a great promotional opportunity for honey sales at the ESHPA booth.

Chrono Tales
Chrono Tales Overview
Chrono Tales is a free 3D browser-based MMORPG. The new generation engine provides players with anime-styled 3D graphics via browsers, without client download. Traveling through the time rift, players can explore in the fantasy world of Chrono Tales and save the realm from the resurgent evil. You can challenge immersive quest, forge legendary gear, tame mythological pets and experience much more mainstream MMO features in Chrono Tales.
Key Features
5 job classes (Warrior, Assassin, Scholar, Mage, and Priest), plus 3 craft professions catering to different player preference.
Various avatar customization choices.
Immersing story-based quests with various dungeons/world bosses to challenge.
Real-time combat system with auto-pilot control liberates players from endless grinding.
Classic prefix-name equipment system and diverse forge enhancement.
Innovative pet system allows putting 3 pets in battle at once. Players can battle on mount and even soar with flying mount.
Astrology System helps players to build up characters with the various combinations of Soul Stars.
Free PvP gameplay allow players to challenge opponents in different arenas or wild area.
Weekly Siege War, Large-scale guild warfare for capital dominance.
Market system that enables players to exchange their items.
A Premium Mall that provides players with a variety of items to enhance gaming experience.
Warriors are the decedents of Earthen Spirit York. They have indomitable will and they once blocked Hell Force's attacks with their steel-like bodies. Warriors are best at melee. Warriors are able to deal the greatest melee damage. In the face of a single target or a group of enemies, they can give overwhelming blows with their powerful weapons. Besides high attack, Warriors also have excellent physical defense, which enables them to block physical attack easily. However, they are not good at dealing with long arrange attacks.
Mages learned their magic from Ice Spirit Derain. They are well aware of the situation of the battlefield, which makes them the biggest threat to Hell Force. Mages master ranged AOE magical attacks, and take perfect control of ice spells, which could freeze enemies for a while. The weakness of Mages is their low HP. If they let enemies get close to them, their lives will be threatened.
Scholars are the most mysterious force led by Raymond. No one knows their origin. The grand connon invented by Manlans Meg has once made distinguished contributions in the battlefield. Learned and humorous scholars specialize in ranged physical attacks, and may cast a variety of self-developed devices to damage their foes. They research and master various surprising stunts to confuse and restrain their foes. However, scholars are vulnerable to magic attacks.
The legendary Assassin Benson had once broke into Hell Furnace alone and cut off the left arm of Hell Demon Ulam. They can suddenly appear near a unit and always frighten their opponents with swift attacks. In the meantime, they can hardly be hit with their high dodge. Their weakness is low HP and defense. If they fail to kill their enemy, they might be stuck in a dangerous position.
Priests inherited the power of Water Spirit. Back to the war against Hell Demon, dozens of senior Priests sacrificed themselves to revive the soldiers of Tribal Army, which turned the battle around. Priests have a good command of unusual spells, which can place people in various states. Moreover, they are capable of reviving and curing people. They can also generate buffs which can improve their magic attack. Priests are weak at low physical defense and it would take a while to master all the skills.

Chrono Tales Review
Full Review
by Anthny D'Urbano aka SqueezyTime
Diamond in the Rough
Browser based MMOs today are becoming more and more popular, and among the many games that continue to push the genre to new heights is Chrono Tales. Chrono Tales appears as a typical, generic MMORPG but can quickly become addicting. With a super-fast install, a self-paced playstyle and loads of features, Chrono Tales opens its doors with gameplay that will appeal to hardcore and casual players alike.
Pretty Lights
Chrono Tales isn't the most visually stunning game, but for a browser title the graphics are fairly nice. The semi-cutesy art style is a good blend of anime and fantasy that has just enough of both to grab the attention of both the lovers and haters of cutesy MMOs. Though the scenery is often bland, the textures are bright and colorful, which really helps to add a little "pop" to the otherwise barren fields. The cities and occasional little towns and encampments are a little more impressive. The roads are very open and often lined with trees and lamp posts, the buildings are nicely modeled and, of course, there are the various floating structures that make every fantasy city just a little more scenic.
The skill effects in the game are very vibrant and quite extravagant at times, but the real standing ovation goes to the pets. The pets in Chrono Tales come with all manner of magical effects that make them truly stand out as legendary beats. One of the Leopards, for example, emits a sparkling red aura with a swirling ball of particles on the tail that leave trails behind it, and is plated with glowing blue war armor. Mount up on one of those bad boys and throw on a flaming staff or sword to look like a real god of the elements. The downside to the awesome pet visuals is that they only apply to mounted pets and not those running alongside players.
Petshop Simulator!
The pet system is by far the most interesting and addicting feature in Chrono Tales. Simply put, everyone loves MMO pets, and Chrono Tales is all about pets. Players can collect pets from quests, vendors or via the in-game cash shop. Each pet has his own unique set of stats, including running speed, all of which can be upgraded through levels, equipment and enhancements. Players also do not have to worry about running around with the measly little pup that they picked up early in the game. Pets can be promoted every 10 levels, giving them a whole new look, with new armor and more epic special effects.
The biggest perk to these pets is that they can be used in one of three ways: Mounted for running speed, summoned to fight alongside the player, and merged with the player to buff up his stats. Not only can players use any of their pets however they choose, they can use a different pet for all three features at once. Mount up on the most legendary looking beast, merge with the most buffed up, and throw out a sidekick for maximum power. Players should be careful, however, and stock up on plenty of food. While in use, pets tend to get very hungry, very fast, and it is important to keep their satiation level high. Luckily, Pet Fodder is relatively cheap at any Pet Merchant as well as in the cash shop.
Reach for the Stars
One feature in Chrono Tales that is quite unique is the Astrology system. Once players hit level 15, they gain the ability to select a Zodiac, giving them a whole new way to upgrade their stats. Players are given a series of Crystal Balls that summon Soul Stars, which carry a random stat that may be equipped onto their Zodiac. Each Crystal Ball in the series increases in the rarity of the Soul Stars and the cost of use. What makes this feature awesome is the addition of Soul Star Combinations. There is a huge list of Soul Star Combinations—uniquely named buffs created by combining specific Soul Stars onto the Zodiac—each of which add much more interesting passive buffs than the simple skill increases of the individual Soul Stars. One such combination is Life Leech, which gives players a 10% chance when damaging an enemy to steal life equal to 30% of the damage done. There are over 30 unique combinations available to players. Unfortunately, this process is very expensive. Not only does it cost large amounts of gold and silver to summon Soul Stars and add slots to the Zodiac, Activating the higher level Crystal Balls to allow the summon of Legendary Soul Stars costs cash shop currency (diamonds).
In MMORPGs today, equipment enhancement has become an absolute necessity. Chrono Tales adds several ways for players to enhance their equipment, via the Forge system: Refining, Enchanting, Upgrading, Socketing and Embedding. Characters may refine their equipment, with the use of a Bijou, which increases each of the item's stats, preventing players from having to worry so much about constantly finding upgraded equipment drops. Enchanting an item requires a Rainbow Shard and increases the rarity value of an item, giving it better stats as well as adding new ones. This is a very important feature as items with orange names are way more awesome than those with blue ones. Upgrading items simply increases the Grade level, allowing for higher level refines but also increasing the item's level requirement by 10 levels. Socketing an item allows various special gems to be embedded, allowing new stats to be added. The depth of Chrono Tales' enhancement system not only gives players a much closer attachment to their gear, allowing them to stick with the same gear throughout their journey, it also gives players another way to pass their downtime. The major downside to the Forge system is that each of the required materials must be bought in the cash shop. Though they can be acquired through a few quests and events, it is rare and paying players are given a huge step ahead of those who do not use the cash shop often, or at all.
Are We There Yet?
Chrono Tales is a fairly automated game, which tends to be a big controversial issue in MMOs. Players are given an in depth Auto-fighting system, the ability to auto-run to any NPC, monster or quest target in the game and the ability to meditate, gaining experience for doing… well, absolutely nothing. The Auto-fighting system gives players options to set up Auto-release skills, an Auto-fight range and several options to improve the process even further. For an unlimited amount of time players may set their characters to run around a field and kill anything within their Auto-range, but with the use of Auto-fighting Points they can add more advanced features, such as Auto-revive, Double-exp, returning to town for potions and Auto-repairing equipment. These Auto-fighting points are gained fairly easily through the meditation process or by simply logging into the game every day. These features are both a pro and a con for players; they have the ability to take care of their important daily tasks (like… real life responsibilities) yet once players get a bit higher in level the amount of experience gained becomes very minimal. Of course, players are able to buy experience improving items via the cash shop if they really want to get ahead.
To War!
It is (probably) a scientific fact that MMOs with PvP combat are automatically better than those without. Chrono Tales has a wide variety of PvP options, so there is plenty of fun to be had. There are the basic arenas: Solo, group and ranked matches, as well as a Siege War for guild vs guild mass slaughter. Every Saturday and Wednesday at 19:00 (time-zone is not stated) guilds may sign up for a Siege War. The rules of a Siege War are pretty simple: One guild must seize a Chroland Flag within 2 hours, and the other must defend it. In doing so, the winning guild is given the title of Castellan Guild, and the ability to tax the entirety of Chroland. Chrono Tales includes a rather unique type of PvP battle, titled Survival Island. Players may sign up every day at 1:00pm and 8:00pm to join the fight. Once begun, the battle is basically a last man standing, except players must scramble across several islands as they collapse and crumble, one by one. The rewards for survival are Courage Badges, which may be exchanged for high level gear.
Final Verdict: Good
Chrono Tales is a unique browser based MMORPG that brings so much more to the MMO table than meets the eye. The large plethora of unique features in the game is simply awesome. The game focuses heavily on bringing in as broad an audience as possible, and could possible succeed in doing so better than any browser based title to date. Players are given several ways to upgrade their characters, and really fine tune them to their own styles of play. Chrono Tales' expansive PvP options bring unlimited hours of fun to competitive players. The feature in the game that really takes the cake, however, is the unique pet system. The pet system is almost a whole mini-game in itself, and the special effects they emit are simply stunning. Chrono Tales serves as proof that browser MMOs have the ability to compete with the big client MMOs. It is far from impressive at first glance, but everyone should definitely spend some time to try it out. They won't be disappointed.

(SportsNetwork.com) - The Oakland Raiders are seemingly always wild cards when it comes to the NFL Draft but 2014 could see the organization take a more conventional approach.
General manager Reggie McKenzie could go in a number of directions with the No. 5 overall pick and the Raiders are obviously one of a number of teams in the top five who are unsettled at the quarterback position. That said, Oakland could also use help on both lines as well as a big-play threat at receiver.
McKenzie brought a ton of money into the offseason and did a nice job plugging holes for the short-term, be it trading for veteran signal caller Matt Schaub or signing defensive lineman Justin Tuck, linebacker LaMarr Woodley and offensive tackle Austin Howard.
He and head coach Dennis Allen remain on very short leashes, though, so risking everything on a quarterback like Johnny Manziel or Blake Bortles seems unlikely.
The added incentive to win now should turn Oakland toward a safer prospect and snaring Clemson receiver Sammy Watkins is as secure as it gets in this draft.
If Watkins is gone, that could mean Buffalo linebacker Khalil Mack or Auburn left tackle Greg Robinson would fall to No. 5 and both would serve as nice alternatives for the Raiders.
2013 Record: 4-12
Top Needs: QB, OL, DE, WR
First Three Picks: No. 5, No. 36, No. 67
Number of Selections: 7 (1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 7, 7)
CALLING THE SHOTS: McKenzie gets his third and possibly final try to turn around the Raiders after consecutive 4-12 seasons. Part of his madness came to fruition already as he brought $60 million-plus into free agency and snared some big names. The draft remains more important to building a team, however, so McKenzie needs to start scoring more consistently there.
RECENT FIRST ROUND HISTORY: 2013 - D.J. Hayden (CB, Houston); 2012 - none; 2011 - none; 2010 - Rolando McClain (LB, Alabama); 2009 - Darrius Heyward-Bey (WR, Maryland); 2008 - Darren McFadden (RB, Arkansas); 2007 - JaMarcus Russell (QB, LSU); 2006 - Michael Huff (S, Texas); 2005 - Fabian Washington (CB, Nebraska); 2004 - Robert Gallery (OT, Iowa); 2003 - Nnamdi Asomugha (CB, California), Tyler Brayton (DE, Colorado).
