Crazy Tao Overview
Crazy Tao is a 2D Fantasy MMORPG by TQ Digital. The game is almost identical to Eudemons Online, except for a few graphics tweaks. If you're looking for a new game to play, there is no reason to play Crazy Tao over Eudemons Online, as Eudemons has a much larger game population and more features. Crazy Tao's two playable classes are:
Warrior - Warriors are the generic melee fighting class in Crazy Tao. They can wear heavy armor and they can deal a large amount of damage in melee range.
Mage - Mages are the spellcasting class in Crazy Tao. They are capable of using extremely powerful area of effect spells that can obliterate every enemy on the screen. If this sounds a bit over powered to you, it is. The only real drawback to playing a mage is that they have low hit points.

Crazy Tao Review
By, Omer Altay
Okay seriously, what the heck is going on over at TQ Digital? How on earth did Crazy Tao get past quality control? It's the same exact game as Eudemons Online, but with cartoony graphics! When I say Crazy Tao and Eudemons Online are the same game, I mean they're identical. TQ Digital is well known for releasing games that are unusually similar as two of their other titles, Zero Online and Conquer also share some similarities. At least Zero Online and Conquer Online still felt like genuinely different games, but it looks as if TQ Digital didn't even try concealing the fact that Crazy Tao was the same exact game as Eudemons, as everything from the game's interface to 'spell names' are identical! Save your time and play Eudemons Online instead, as it's the same game as Crazy Tao, but has a much larger playerbase and more features. If you're still curious about the game, do read on.
First Impressions
Upon downloading and installing Crazy Tao, I was disappointed to learn that the game only had two playable classes. I mean come on, two classes? That's pathetic! Since the game has no form of character development either, half of the game's players will be identical to you, which is a huge slap in the face for those looking to make their characters even remotely unique. Okay, I'm logged in and ready to grind. Since I played a Mage on Eudemons, I figure I should try playing a Warrior on Crazy Tao, so I can get a feel for the game's other class. You'd imagine since the game only has two classes, they would be extremely balanced, but that isn't even remotely true. A low level warrior is absurdly weak compared to an equal level Mage. Think of it this way, a warrior can deal 150 damage to a single target at a time, while Magician can 300 damage to every enemy on the entire screen every second. Unfortunately, this is how it is in Eudemons as well. Melee classes are incredibly underpowered, at least in the early levels of the game. They do improve quite a bit late game. After leveling slowly with my Warrior I decided that I'm going to go ahead and make a new character, a mage.
What? Only 1 character per account?!
Apparently, players can only have one character per account on all of TQ Digital's games. Why on earth would they do this? Was it so hard to program a character selection screen? It just doesn't make sense. Since Crazy Tao only has two characters, I'm sure a lot of the other players in Crazy Tao would like to try out the class that they didn't pick, but the only way to do that is to make a brand new account. You can't even delete your old character to make room for your new one, which is absurd. So the only possible way to make a new character is to make a brand new account. I'd like to point out that this problem isn't strictly limited to Crazy Tao, it's a problem that plagues all of TQ Digital's games. This is just the first time I ranted about it.
Just way too similar
The longer I played Crazy Tao the more and more I realized that it is purely a clone of Eudemons. I tried to look for subtle differences in gameplay, but I just couldn't find it. Heck the game has the exact same interface, the same skill names and the same list of features. Well the last point isn't entirely true, as Eudemons actually has a lot more to offer in terms of features than Crazy Tao, as Eudemons has three playable classes and a much larger playerbase. But needless to say, Crazy Tao doesn't really have any genuinely unique features of its own. I really was hoping that I could find some differences between the two games, but alas, no luck. As I stated earlier, the only real unique aspect of Crazy Tao is its cute cartoony graphics. I actually liked Crazy Tao's graphics better than Eudemon's, but that alone cannot redeem this game. On top of the fact that the two games are almost identical, Crazy Tao has some obvious game glitches that should have been fixed ages ago. At times the game's own 'help' boxes have text that extend past the boundaries of its text box. I can't stress this enough, but the two games are virtually identical. It's as if the developers just loaded the code for Eudemons and played with the graphic options and that's it.
Final Verdict – Poor
Crazy Tao is simply the same exact game as Eudemons Online, but with less features and a smaller playerbase. Play Eudemons Online instead and skip this one. All in all, Crazy Tao isn't necessarily a bad game in and of itself, but there is simply no reason to play Crazy Tao over Eudemons Online.

Seattle Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid seems to have gotten a little extra motivation on Thursday night from the LA Galaxy.
On Thursday afternoon, the Galaxy Communications department released a training schedule that mistakenly labeled Sunday's Western Conference Championship as "LA Galaxy vs. Real Salt Lake."[the image can be found here along with another foible by the league office]. The ex-Galaxy boss took notice of his mistake and made sure to use it to his team's advantage before their decisive Western Conference Semifinal Second Leg.
"LA thought they were playing Salt Lake," Schmid told reporters on Thursday." They put out a press release and said they were playing Salt Lake, so we hate to disappoint them. That's motivation enough for us right now."
The Professional Referees Organization announced that referee Jair Marrufo has been chosen to officiate the Western Conference Championship First Leg at The Home Depot Center on Sunday.
Marrufo officiated five games Galaxy games with LA earning a record of 2-1-2 meanwhile he also officiated two Sounders matches with Seattle going 1-0-1 in those games. Marrufo has had some past with the Galaxy in that match with the Earthquakes as David Beckham labeled Marrufo "the star" after his ruling to award a penalty kick due to a questionable handball by David Beckham.
The breakdown of Marrufo's officiating for Sounders and Galaxy games is below
4/12 – LA 3 Portland 1. Fouls: 16 (eight each); Cautions: 2 (both for Portland)
5/23 – LA 2 San Jose 3. Fouls: 25 (15 for LA and 10 for SJ); Cautions: 4 Yellows (2 for LA and 2 for Seattle) 1 Red (for LA); Penalties: 1 (for San Jose)
7/8 – Chicago 0 LA 1. Fouls: 21 (14 for LA and 7 for CHI); Cautions: 3 Yellows (2 for LA and 1 for Chi); Penalties: 1 (for LA)
8/5 – Chivas USA 0 LA 4. Fouls: 20 (9 for CHV and 11 for LA); Cautions: 1 Yellow (for CHV)
10/21 – San Jose 2 LA 2. Fouls: 26 ( 11 for SJ and 15 for LA); Cautions: 1 Yellow (for LA)
6/20 – Seattle 1 Sporting KC 1. Fouls: 27 (9 for Seattle and 18 for SJ); Cautions: 4 (1 for Seattle and 3 for SKC), 1 Red (for Seattle)
10/7 – Seattle 3 Portland Timbers 0. Fouls: 20 (11 for Seattle and 9 Portland); Cautions: 2 (1 each)
Marrufo's complete crew is:
Mario Martinez's wonder strike propelled Seattle Sounders FC to their first-ever Western Conference Championship against the LA Galaxy, but the goal should have looked a bit familiar to Galaxy supporters.
Martinez's goal in the 81st minute appeared to mirror Robbie Keane's own strike against Real Salt Lake back in October. Both goals came against RSL and both started on the right flank before ultimately leading to a left-footed volley that sailed into the lower right corner.
The two goals are below, agree that they are similar?
Mario Martinez
Robbie Keane
The LA Galaxy knew on Wednesday evening that they'll be making their fourth straight Western Conference Championship appearance in 2012, and now they know who their opponent is.
LA will take on Seattle Sounders FC, who are making their first ever appearance in the West Conference Championship. The Sounders advanced by defeating Real Salt Lake in the Western Conference Semifinal match up as Honduran midfielder Mario Martinez scored a stunning goal in the 81st minute to give the Sounders the victory at Rio Tinto Stadium as well as the aggregate lead.
The first leg will take place on Sunday, Nov. 11 at The Home Depot Center before traveling to CenturyLink Field for the second leg on Nov. 18.
The Sounders won the season series with the Galaxy going 2-1-0, earning both of their wins at CenturyLink, defeating LA 2-0 on May 2 and 4-0 on Aug. 5. The Galaxy won the final game of the season against the Sounders 1-0 at The HDC. While Seattle have the series lead this regular season, the Galaxy have had success against the Sounders in the postseason, defeating the Sounders in the 2010 Western Conference Semifinal.
Regardless of the match up, Galaxy defender Todd Dunivant is proud of LA's four consecutive West Final appearances.
"It's a testament to keeping this group together. Successful teams in this league are successful teams, consistent teams and teams that have stability. We've had the same core group for four seasons and the results have spoken for themselves. This is what happens when you get a good group together and you keep them together," Dunivant told LA Galaxy Insider on Thursday. "It's a testament to our club and everybody for doing that because it could have been easy to push the panic button at 3-8-2 and start to blow this thing up but they didn't do that. I think we rewarded them with the best second half of the season of any team in the league and now we're pushing through the playoffs. It's great for the whole organization."
After seeing off the San Jose Earthquakes in the Western Conference Semifinal, the LA Galaxy will spend Thursday awaiting their opponent in the Western Conference Championship.
Seattle Sounders FC takes on Real Salt Lake on Thursday evening at 7 p.m. PT at Rio Tinto Stadium in the decisive second leg. The series is currently scoreless after goalkeepers Nick Rimando and Michael Gspurning combined for nine saves at CenturyLink Field last week.
The winner will take on the Galaxy in LA's fourth consecutive appearance in the Western Conference Championship, but before LA can prepare for that match, the Galaxy will place a keen eye on Thursday's match.
"We're definitely going to watch it, but honestly, it's a real toss-up. They're two really good teams and they both had good seasons and finished very closely to each other," Defender Todd Dunivant told LA Galaxy Insider on Thursday morning. "If I was betting man, I wouldn't bet this game because I honestly don't know and honestly have no preference, they're both good teams and we've battled with both of these teams over the last four years, it's going to be a great series either way."
During the 2012 Regular Season, the Galaxy went 1-2-0 against both Salt Lake and Seattle. Regular season results aside, LA have had postseason success against the two teams as LA defeated Seattle in the Conference Semifinal in 2010. The Galaxy's history with RSL, however, is much longer as Salt Lake knocked off the Galaxy in the 2009 MLS Cup Final in Seattle before LA defeated Salt Lake in the 2011 Western Conference Championship.
But what issues do the two teams pose for LA this season?
"They both present problems, they both have injury concerns which at this time year a lot of teams will," said Dunivant. "Obviously, with Seattle, they have Johnson and Montero healthy, they're as dangerous a duo that there is in this league. Rosales is another one that has been hobbled, but he's the main source of all their goals, they have a lot and they're good defensively."
"Same goes for Salt Lake," Dunivant added. "It starts with their defense and they also have a lot of dangerous players in the attack, [Javier] Morales is unpredictable, [Fabian] Espindola, and [Alvaro] Saborío are great goal scorers. There are a lot of similarities between both teams to be honest."
The first leg of the Western Conference Championship begins at 6 p.m. PT at The Home Depot Center while the second leg will take place on Sunday, Nov. 18 at 6 p.m. PT at the winner of RSL/Seattle.
Three LA Galaxy Players have been nominated for Futbol MLS' Latino del Año or "Latino of the Year."
Brazilian midfielders Juninho and Marcelo Sarvas are joined by defender Omar Gonzalez as well as 21 other Latino players for the 24 player, six group contest. The top two seeds from each group advance to a playoff that will decide a Latino player of the year on December 3.
Gonzalez is in Group C with Seattle Sounders forward Fredy Montero, San Jose Earthquakes midfielder Marvin Chavez, and FC Dallas' David Ferreira. Juninho is ranked as the top seed in Group E with New England Revolution forward Jerry Bengston, Real Salt Lake's Fabian Espindola, and Philadelphia Union midfielder Michael Farfan. Meawnhile, Marcelo Sarvas is in Group G with RSL's Alvaro Saborio, New York Red Bulls midfielder Rafael Marquez, and Chivas USA midfielder Oswaldo Minda.
A day after notching a brace against the San Jose Earthquakes that helped propel the LA Galaxy into the Western Conference Championship for the fourth consecutive year, forward Robbie Keane was crowned as the 2012 Castrol Index Top Player.
The Castrol Index is MLS' official performance index that assesses each player and judges how positive or negative their impact has on their individual team's success.
Keane finished with a total of 854 points in 2,520 minutes of action during the regular season, edging out the 2011 Castrol Index Top Player Chris Wondolowski by 18 points. The Irishman earned the nod over Wondolowski due to his success in target shots, winning duels, good passes, and the fact that only 7% of his goals came on penalty kicks compared to 23% for Wondolowski.
The nod for Keane is no surprise after Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena was quick to laud the Irishman on Wednesday.
"Robbie, since he's come back from the European Championships has been the best player in the league," said Arena after LA's 3-1 win. "He's been great. He scores big goals, he's competitive, he's bought into MLS, he likes L.A., he's a great leader on our team. When the whistle blows he's ready to play, he's a real great competitor."
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Bruce Arena and the LA Galaxy may have been considered by many to be the underdogs heading into the Western Conference Semifinal, but that is not how the Galaxy head coach saw things.
LA became the first team to beat the San Jose Earthquakes at Buck Shaw Stadium this season with a dominating performance as Robbie Keane notched a pair of goals before Mike Magee put the Galaxy ahead for good, with LA earning a 3-1 win on the night and a 3-2 victory on aggregate.
Below are the thoughts of LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena...
(On his thoughts on the win tonight...)
ARENA: "Well certainly a good win for our group. I think it wouldn't be right if I didn't just take a minute to just congratulate San Jose on their year. They're really the champions in the league. When you go through the entire season, even though I'm not a great believer in the way they have the Supporters' Shield, but they earned it and they're champions in the league and we're still participating in another competition called the MLS Cup. So congratulations to them, but I think we have a damn good team, and arguably the best team in the league, and we have a chance to prove it in the next series again. Great victory for our team tonight, I think they played pretty well. A little bit sloppy in the second half, but I think San Jose deserves credit for that, the way they hung in there and never quit and attacked us and made things difficult."
(On his center backs…)
ARENA: "They've played well. Tommy's growing into that position and obviously had a good performance tonight."
(On the team's journey this season…)
ARENA: We did, but we've been the best team in this league since July. I'm happy nobody's noticed that, which is always good. We were able to hide under the radar a little bit. We've been real good since July. We actually were pretty comfortable that we could come in here and win. We were confident about that. We certainly screwed up the other night at home, but we played quite well. Actually, the game the other night gave us the confidence that we could come in here and win because we felt that it was a good matchup for us."
(On what was different this time against San Jose…)
ARENA: "I think every game could have gone either way, but to San Jose's credit, it went their way most of the time. The difference tonight is getting three goals in the first half, and finishing our chances, and being a little bit more solid defensively. Although, I think in this second half at the end, we got a little tired and made some mistakes, but you're not getting the fourth goal that they were handing to us. We were very sloppy in trying to just kill the game off over the last 15 minutes. We had a good performance tonight and certainly our guys deserve a lot of credit. But at the same time, I do want to congratulate San Jose for a great year."
(On the impact that Victor Bernárdez's injury had on the game…)
ARENA: 'It contributes; it's all part of it though. Injuries happen. He's been an important part of their team and it certainly didn't help them, but I didn't think it was the difference in the game."
(On LA's first half success...)
ARENA: "We were smart. We were strong in the early going, yet patient and the first goal was obviously important. The second goal, I think San Jose put their heads down, and the third goal obviously was a killer. But to their credit, when they got the goal in the 82nd minute by Gordon, they fought real hard to try to get that second goal and try to send it into another 30 minutes."
SANTA Clara, Calif. – Omar Gonzalez's past with Steven Lenhart is well-documented, but in Wednesday night's Western Conference Semifinal Second Leg, it was the LA Galaxy center back that had the last laugh as LA defeated the San Jose Earthquakes, 3-1 and 3-2 on aggregate.
Gonzalez and Lenhart tangled repeatedly throughout the match, with the two each being awarded yellow cards for their battles – Gonzalez earning his in the 41st minute for a forearm to the back of Lenhart and the Earthquakes striker picking one up a minute later after shoving Gonzalez to the pitch.Histrionics aside, Gonzalez was dominated the Earthquakes forward from start to finish as his size and quickness frequently proved too much for the physical San Jose forward. Perhaps Gonzalez's finest moment against Lenhart came in the 81st minute when the Earthquakes striker appeared to have a clear shot at goal after cutting around the defense, but Gonzalez was able to make a last second block to direct the shot out of play.
"It was a tough battle," Gonzalez said of his match up with Lenhart. "You guys saw it. I think that I got the better of him today. It just feels good. We finally put this team down."
With Lenhart and forward Chris Wondolowski struggling to find the back of the net, the Galaxy capitalized with three goals in the first half, two from Robbie Keane and one by Mike Magee to put the game out of reach for San Jose. Although Alan Gordon would find the back of the net to cut the score to 3-1, it wasn't enough for the Earthquakes.
"It's amazing. They did well during the year, but they couldn't pull it off tonight," said Gonzalez after the match. "It just felt great to hear that whistle blow, and just to finally be over with those guys. We came out on top and I thought that they fought well. But they just couldn't pull it off tonight.
In the few moments when the Earthquakes did get in behind the Galaxy back four, Gonzalez's center back partner Tommy Meyer was up to the task. Repeatedly the young centerback was able to match the Earthquakes' physicality, even though San Jose's had targeted him for much of the match. But if it wasn't Meyer then it was goalkeeper Josh Saunders, right back Sean Franklin or Todd Dunivant, who were able to make the timely saves to keep San Jose off the board for much of the game.
"I just think that our guys came out a lot more confident than them. We did a great job of sticking together in the back, being really close, and just challenging for everything. I think that most of our guys won the 50-50 battles.
But even when Gordon scored to move the game to just a single Earthquakes goal of extratime, Gonzalez made sure that LA's defense held to prevent any late magic.
"Tonight wasn't their night," said Gonzalez. "You can do that all year, but when you need it is tonight and they couldn't do it."

Tranquil Moments® and the Rhythm of Sleep
Backed by more than 25 years of clinical research, Tranquil Moments® sound programs are based on the DELTA, ALPHA and THETA brainwave patterns associated with deep states of sleep, relaxation and renewal.
When we listen to these sounds, our brains gradually try to match their rhythms, just as we unconsciously adopt the rhythm or tune of a song on the radio.
When this happens, our minds are coaxed into the deep, restorative states of sleep and relaxation that are essential for us to perform at our best throughout the day.
Clinically Proven Sleep and Relaxation Sounds:
Unlike ordinary sleep sound machines, Tranquil Moments plays sound programs that were composed and engineered by Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, Founder of the Center for Neuroacoustic Research.
"Tranquil Moments® has sounds that encourage your brain to enter healthier states of sleep, relaxation and renewal. Its sounds are based on more than 25 years of clinical research."
—Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, D.C.
Founder of the Center for Neuroacoustic Research, Inventor of Tranquil Moments® Sound Therapy Programs.

I got this for my husband who needs background sounds, white noise to sleep. We have been using this for a month now and it is wonderful. There are so many different sounds to choose from that between the two of us we can The sounds are realistic, the quality is fantastic. The physical device is high quality.
I discovered that some of the sounds are great just to have on during the day, too. They add a relaxing ambiance to the room. Some of the sounds are great for my study time (I'm a student).
The "sleep" function for the alarm is fantastic! All you do is touch the device and it sets.
The clock has a dimmer which I use. Some may like the night light feature but I prefer less light in the room at night.
Cons: The buttons on the sides are cumbersome to push, two hands are needed, one on each side of the device to steady it. All of the buttons have a loud clicking noise when pushed. Which my husband loves since he likes to hear the sound as though it gives him a sense that the task is accomplished. I don't like it. Again, the dimmer button clicks loudly and I have to roll over in bed and grasp the device w/ two hands. If I want to change the sound it only takes one hand since the buttons for that feature are on top but each push of the button is loud and may disturb a sleeping partner.
Still, the cons are outweighed by the pros. This was pricey but worth it. I expect many years of happy use.

Problems when 4 AA batteries installed

I received this as a Christmas present from my wife. I put 4 brand new AA batteries in because I thought they were a back up if the power went out, and also plugged it into the wall. I started using it shortly there after when falling asleep. I found it to be relaxing and helped me drift off.
About 2 weeks later, the clock appeared to have died-no lights, no sounds. I unplugged it and removed the batteries and took it to the Brookstone store where it was purchased. The person at the store plugged it in and it worked fine. I was a little puzzled as I have an electrical engineering degree and was sure it was 'dead'.
I brought it back home, re-installed the batteries and plugged it back in-nothing. I tried a few different outlets that I knew worked, still nothing. I left the batteries in and took it back to the store again. The same guy plugged it in and it was dead. He then removed the batteries, plugged it in and it worked fine. He explained that it didn't work with Duracel batteries, and that I needed to purchase Brookstone batteries if I wanted to use it with the power cord plugged in. (It did work for 2 weeks with both the batteries and the power cord plugged in) This seems very strange to me.
My guess is there is some kind of design flaw that is causing the unit to not to work if the AA batteries lose some of their charge (one of the circuits is going into an indeterminate state due to the lower voltage; but I'll spare you the electronics lingo). I would expect the unit to continue to function WHILE STILL PLUGGED IN, even if the batteries aren't 100%. Unless the batteries are brand new, this will not work. I am very disappointed given the $160+ price tag.

Once I found the best sound that works for me, I slept better than I have slept in years.
I am still working with it to find the best sounds. However, I loaned it to my daughter so she could sleep, because we both suffer from headaches, and now I might now get it back! ;)

Comments about Tranquil Moments® Advanced Sleep Sounds:
I was trying to replace my old Homedics with a higher end machine, with better quality sounds as well as more variety. The quality of the different sounds on this machine is very, very good. However, you cannot turn this machine up loud enough to cover up anything. If you live in a quiet area and just need the sounds, you'll be fine. If you are trying to block out other noises though, this simply won't work.
Comments about Tranquil Moments® Advanced Sleep Sounds:
I was disappointed with the alarm features. I desired a alarm that woke me up gently with nature sounds. When this clock alarm goes off the nature sounds go from silent to full volume within 30 seconds.It is a race to shut it off. Also, the recording of nature sounds are very repeative. Example: the thunder storm uses the same three thunders over and over for 90 minutes.

Comments about Tranquil Moments® Advanced Sleep Sounds:
This is the best sound machine that I have found and I have tried several cheaper models. I use it every night and I even have a second one in case of emergency. I would not be without it. My only complaint is that the light should have a lower setting. I like being able to see the clock but it doesn't need to be as bright as it is. Other than that, I love it.
