Vegan Muffin Recipes
Muffins are a type of quick bread that's baked into multiple small individual pieces so it can be enjoyed by one person. Muffins are similar to cupcakes except they are more dense and hearty, lack frosting and are less sweet. Vegan muffin recipes usually substitute eggs with egg replacer ingredients such as flax, starches or fruit purées.

These Vegan Blueberry Muffins feature a buttery flavor and smooth texture thanks to the combined efforts of non-dairy milk, lemon juice and lemon extract. This compliments the tartness of the blueberries, making a delectable snack for breakfast or any other occasion. The combination of lemon juice and lemon extract in this recipe is so the lemon flavor can be brought up to tasty levels without excessive acidity, which in large amounts can negatively affect gluten's ability to bind.

This Vegan Apple Pecan Muffin recipe has a wonderful apple notes enhanced by maple syrup, lemon juice, allspice and cinnamon. The addition of pecans adds a welcome flavor and texture contrast and a touch of unrefined coconut oil makes you not miss the fact that they don't contain any butter. Using tart apples like Granny Smith is preferred for maximum apple flavor.

PlanetSide 2
PlanetSide 2 Overview
PlanetSide 2 takes all the groundbreaking features from the original game – massive multiplayer battles, distinct empires to rally around, and enormous continents where intense ground and air combat unfolds – and adds features that modern gamers have come to expect out of the FPS and MMO genres. With advanced technology, years of gamer feedback, and a new SOE proprietary MMO game engine called Forgelight™, PlanetSide 2 offers a truly competitive and visceral FPS experience with massive warfare, massive customization and massive community.
Across the continents of Auraxis, thousands of players will come together in enormous battles to win control of critical territories and key resources for their empire. With a an extensive skill tree and free-form class-based system, players will be able to customize their soldier, weapons and vehicles to match their play-style, as well as the needs of their squad, outfit or empire. Battles can last for days or weeks, so players will need to build alliances and specialized combat outfits to take on long-term strategic and tactical initiatives. With air and ground combat, the battles will be larger and more intense than ever.
Key Features:
Massive Warfare: Battles will take place not between dozens of troops, but hundreds; with air and ground vehicles slugging it out alongside squads of troops. Whether in open fields, tightly-packed urban centers or enormous structures, winning will require strategic teamwork and a quick trigger finger in the massive battles.
Three Empires: Players will have their choice to join three different empires:
Terran Republic – With a militaristic government, the Terran Republic uses its Imperial authoritarian might to impel humanity to peaceful coexistence through any means necessary.
New Conglomerate – A loosely connected group of rebel factions and idealistic freedom fighters, the New Conglomerate fights against the hegemony of the Terran.
Vanu Sovereignty – A technocratic faction that believes humanity can only evolve by rediscovering and tapping the lost technology of the Vanu.
Battle for Territories & Resources: The core gameplay of PlanetSide 2 is about holding key territories and controlling valuable resources. Each battleground holds valuable resources and key positions, and the empire that can conquer (and manage to hold) these territories will be rewarded with fuel bonuses, ammo bonuses, tech bonuses, and more.
Persistence: In Planetside 2 battles will last longer than a match timer. Battles will last for days or weeks, and finally taking control of the base means it's yours until someone can take it back. Working strategically as a team to capture key tactical positions such as power plants and ammo depots will have long-lasting effects that can shift the tide of battle.
Enormous Maps: PlanetSide 2 will launch with several continent maps; every inch of which will be contestable space. With the new territorial control meta-game, landmass will have intrinsic value even without notable installations or major features.
Free-form Class-based System: Players will be able to unlock diverse combat roles by advancing through the skill tree, including several classic roles from PlanetSide. As players unlock new roles, they will be able to switch between them at will.
Mission System: Both SOE and players will be able to drive content, easing new players into the game and allowing veterans to feed content to players.
Skill Trees: Players will be able to build their soldier to match their play-style, or to match the needs of their squad, outfit or empire. Each combat role, vehicle and weapon will have extensive skill trees. These cert trees will allow players to grow characters laterally, unlocking weapons, attachments, equipment, specialized skills, and more.
Outfits: Outfits (guilds) will also be able to customize themselves – allowing outfits to have their own identity, reputation and role in the ongoing war.WEAPONS: Players will be able to access more than 20 basic weapons, which can be customized to players' preference or purpose.
Vehicles: More than 10 vehicles with two unique vehicles per empire. Players will be able to customize each vehicle, unlocking new skills and featuresVivox Integration: Players will be able to communicate with their squads both through keyboard and voice chat.

PlanetSide 2 Full Review
By Tagspeech
When Planetside 2 was initially released, it generated a great deal of buzz – I was excited, personally. I'd never played the original before, but I knew plenty about it from what others told me. I'm usually not one for competitive FPS games, but a persistent world game with vehicle piloting and jet packs a la Tribes sounds like too much fun. I was never able to get into the original, so the second being released free-to-play was a boon. I eagerly downloaded it and gave it a shot.
Unfortunately, as soon as my character had landed after creation, I found that she was literally a corpse. I'd been killed before I could even assume control. This was not exactly the greatest introduction to a game, and I can only assume I wasn't alone. The game then left myself and others to just sort of figure things out for ourselves, which was annoying, considering how overwhelming the base layouts and UI can be. I quit and never looked back, and a number of other people did the same, with similar complaints.
But the beauty of online games is patching. Or rather, it's something they're capable of. I'm not entirely sure it's a beautiful thing, given that it's created a "release now, patch later" mentality among some developers, but it's nice that a game has the capacity to improve. Planetside 2 has received a number of patches since release, and I'm here to drop into the game and see if I'm still treated like a disposable supplicant.
Instant Action!
It's exactly what it sounds like, and it's my favorite addition to the game. Hit the 'I' key at any point, and you're teleported to wherever the heat is. Players are able to set up mobile spawn points with a specific vehicle, allowing those just looking for a quick fix of PVP murder to use this UI feature to become a never-ending stream of reinforcements. An excellent addition, particularly since before you just wandered around aimlessly in the hopes of stumbling upon something exciting happening. Getting into the meat of the game has never been easier, and this addition alone would be enough to warrant a good review.
Something as basic as a "how to not die immediately" tutorial is a staple in these games, and this is something Planetside 2 has lacked up until recently. It's nice to be able to just warm up for your first run-through the game, and get a good understanding of how the game mechanics work. Your tutorial instructor is a special NPC from your chosen faction, and while his performance isn't exactly stellar, it does at least help get you immersed somewhat in the game. I went with the Vanu Sovereignty, because I can't resist anything even remotely transhumanist themed, and my instructor sounded like he'd surgically removed the pleasure centers of his brain. Cool.
Fire that rocket. Hit the sides. Okay. Move on. Etcetera.
Gameplay Overview and Factions
There is no PVE content in Planetside 2, aside from a brief and barebones tutorial designed to give players a crash-course in gameplay before shoving them out into the world (called Auraxis). Any enemy you shoot in the game is going to be another player from the two factions opposing yours (hopefully). Team-killing with vehicles is quite possible, but usually accidental. Watch your fire. The playable factions are as follows:
Terran Republic
The Republic is the OG of the three factions, having been around for over a thousand years, and being the primary culture that spawned the other two. They are apparently the most synergistic of the factions and benefit the most from numbers and proper coordination. Their weapons are based around high-velocity slugs and high rate of fire. Their two unique vehicles are a light attack aircraft called the mosquito, and a medium tank called the prowler (the fastest in its vehicle class).
Vanu Sovereignty
A technocratic society that has abandoned previous definitions of humanity in favor of radical advancements in genetic engineering and beam weaponry. They utilize the artifacts of a long-lost alien race, called the Vanu, whom they venerate as creators and wise deities. Their weapons are hard-hitting and do splash damage often, while their special vehicles, the Scythe fighter and Magrider tank, are highly mobile and flexible tools of destruction capable of incredibly feats of agility.
New Conglomerate
A separatist faction that began as a rebellion against the military dictatorship of the Terran Republic, the NC seeks freedom for freedom's sake, and has built up massive reserves of ammunition, weaponry, and manpower on Auraxis for the sole purpose of establishing a new empire based around their philosophy. Their weapons tend to be heavy on recoil, slow in rate of fire, and ungainly to use, but always hit the hardest and shoot the straightest. Their unique vehicles, the Reaver fighter and the Vanguard tank, are clunky and slow, but have more arms and armor than anything else in their categories.
Still a Niche Title!
Okay, so all of this sounds terribly positive and fantastic. It is, certainly. But it doesn't change the core issues with the game, primarily the fact that it has little appeal to anyone but a niche crowd. You might say that anyone with a love for Call of Duty or Battlefield or Team Fortress 2 could easily get into Planetside 2, but that's just not true. All of those games tend to operate on a simple, one-game-at-a-time system. You queue up, you join a game in progress, once the match is done, it's done. It's a bite-sized approach to getting your violence fix for the day, and generally leaves players satisfied without feeling like they're going to screw over their chosen faction by logging out for too long.
Games like Planetside 2, with persistent worlds and point taking, territories, factions, etc. – they don't lend themselves well to the casual playstyle. You could certainly approach the game casually, but you wouldn't be having nearly as much fun as the career soldier in a large clan, working in close unison with his comrades. This is not a loner's game, and multiple long-time players stress that it doesn't even begin until you've joined a clan. If you're like me and you have no desire to prostrate yourself before some self-style, virtual warlord, then that's just not an option. I'd start my own clan, but who has the time, and honestly, who cares? I don't. Some people do, and that's fine. But I don't.
The game certainly has an active playerbase and plenty going on, but even frequent players have admitted that Planetside's 2 payment model can be a bit pay-to-win, at times. The freebie players are at a distinct disadvantage in terms of their ability to level up and earn certifications in an even remotely timely fashion, all but forcing premium payments for resource and XP boosts. Another nail in the "no casuals allowed" coffin.
Final Verdict: Good
All of that aside, it doesn't diminish the fact that Planetside 2 accomplishes what it set out to do fairly well. It's a solid, open-world shooter with a stable community and plenty to do for anyone who wants to commit their leisure hours to the game. Gaming groups that haven't tried taking their teamwork to a faction in Planetside 2 might be pleasantly surprised at the game. It plays reasonably well, and the factions are engaging enough. It's not the mecca of first-person-shooting some made it out to be at launch, but it's decent. That's more than most can ask for from a game, these days.

I received a plush cat doorstop as a gift and the artwork is amazing. Everyone thinks it's a real cat (I have it on my sofa). I sent one to my friend who had just lost her cat. The resemblance to her cat was remarkable. She treasures having it around as a memory. Also sent a dog doorstop to my mom. The pictures don't do these items justice. Great product that everyone would enjoy having!

(Trees cry for rain)
give deeper insight into the unique sound-world of Helena Tulve, into music which is nourished by both contemporary and ancient currents. Tulve draws upon a wide-range of inspirational sources. She explores the raw fabric of sound and the nature of timbre in both analytical and instinctive ways, in compositions that are unmistakably her own, yet her work is inclusive here incorporating aspects of Gregorian chant, melody from Yemenite Jewish tradition, and texts from Sufi, Sephardic and Christian mystic poetry. Strong performances by the soloists, above all Arianna Savall featured on silences/larmes, LÉquinoxe de lâme and the title track and the choral, chamber and orchestral forces marshalled by Jaan-Eik Tulve and Olari Elts make Helena Tulves second ECM New Series recording a most impressive successor to the critically-acclaimed Lijnen.

UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
zOMG! Overview
zOMG! is a full fledged browser based MMORPG add on to the existing Gaia Online world. While it can best be viewed as an extension of what Gaia already offered, the depth and scope that zOMG! brings with it warrants its own review. For years one of the chief complaints with Gaia Online was the lack of combat and a true sense of growth which couldn't be achieved with the forum structure. Luckily the folks at Gaia Interactive listened and have been hard at work on zOMG! for several years and the effort really shows. The new MMORPG addition integrates fluidly with current Gaia avatars (your in-game character is displayed as your Gaia avatar) and offers another reason to stick with Gaia Online.
zOMG! Screenshots
zOMG! Featured Video
zOMG! Full Review
By, Jaime Skelton
The casual gaming and social site Gaia Online has been around since 2003, offering players a chance to play a few minigames as they dress up their avatar, chat, and interact with other players. In 2008, the site decided to go for a more interactive social and gaming experience by launching zOMG!, an MMO that was integrated with the Gaia Online website and aimed to offer a light-hearted experience within a 2D world. The result is pleasantly surprising.
Feeling Unique Yet?
Gaia Online players can easily transition to playing zOMG! by finding it in their menu while logged in. New players, however, will need to first register for Gaia Online before entering the MMO. Registration is a simple process, and lets you choose your gender, skin, face, hair, and starting outfit. If none of the starting outfits appeal to you to start, don't worry – there are plenty more available within your price range of the starting gold you receive on Gaia and zOMG!. Customization is something that Gaia/zOMG! specializes in, and there are plenty of outfits, accessories, and hair styles (along with backgrounds and other goodies) to make you stand out plenty in the world.
I Hope You're Ready
Hopping into zOMG! is quick after character creation, and so is the tutorial process. A player new to zOMG! is dropped off at a train station, and given nothing more than a treasure chest in which they find a ring called Guns, Guns, Guns. If a ring named Guns puzzles the newbie, they'll quickly figure out what it's for on the next screen, as they encounter a guard being harassed by some sort of mechanical shark creatures, and are charged with helping him defeat the creatures.
Welcome, then, to zOMG!'s combat system, in which instead of equipping weapons, players equip rings that come with various skills (think of it as a summoning and skill system). Each ring grants a skill, which can then be used against enemies or on yourself or your friends. Combat, then, requires having a ring equipped with a combat skill, and then either double clicking on the enemy or targeting and then pressing the corresponding hotkey (1 through 0) to attack. There is no auto-attack feature, so players must stay aware and be ready to use multiple attacks if their first attack isn't powerful enough or misses.
Chargin' My…
This strange ring system is actually part of a larger, and more complex and rewarding, combat system. As mentioned, each ring grants a specific skill. These skills range from close combat and ranged combat, crowd control, defense, healing, and stat mods. Rings also have sets, which when four rings are combined by being worn by their user, grant extra bonuses to the player. Using a skill costs stamina, which is an energy bar that recharges relatively quickly in and out of combat. Skills, like many MMOs, are slotted to an action bar for use. Unlike other MMOs, skills can be supercharged with rage, which builds up over time as a player is hit by enemies.
Also unlike other MMOs, there is no traditional leveling system. Instead, a player's level is determined by the average combined level of their rings, know as their Charge Level. All rings are upgraded using charge orbs, and there are overall 10 charge levels requiring 10 charges a piece (450 charge orbs, due to increasing cost to raise a charge level). With 40 total rings to find, collect, and master, there's plenty of work for a player to do if they wish to have a versatile skill set. In addition, charge level affects what types of drops you receive from enemies; to help with this, players are able to lower their charge level so that they can farm for items or help friends without being a hindrance.
Meet, Greet, Play
zOMG! strives to bridge the web-based world of Gaia Online with a more traditional MMORPG setting. Activities on both the web and in-game can benefit your avatar, and many activities on one portal cause you to leap to the other. For instance, zOMG! offers quests for players to go through in several areas, but some of these quests can be found while browsing shops and talking to NPCs on the web portal. Likewise, shops and crafting return the user to the web portal to complete transactions, although they have an in-game storefront.
Quests and crafting (in which players can collect items and recipes and make unique accessories and clothing) are one sample of the cross-portal interactivity of zOMG! and Gaia Online. Like stores, the forums themselves also have a presence in the game, and players can transition between the forums and the central square of town if they like to chat. Players can also go to Gaia Towns, social gathering areas that exist separate from zOMG! and offer player housing. This ultimately lends itself to a smooth integration of all Gaia's various portals, although the integration is far from seamless.
Final Verdict: Great
While I had never been intrigued by Gaia Online and its light social-gaming atmosphere, I found myself rather entranced by zOMG!'s game play and style. The atmosphere of the game is light-hearted, but the game isn't shallow, offering a great deal for players to work toward completing. The complexity of the Rings and Charge Level system was an added bonus that, while eventually turning a little grindy, still offered enough incentive to keep me interested.
In fact, zOMG! could very well act as a gateway drug to the Gaia Online community site itself, where players can discover the host of inter-connected options that enhance their gaming experience. Although I found a few glitches that were bothersome from time to time – such as the ability for players to keep their backgrounds on their avatars in game, resulting in an animated block running across your screen – the game held my interest enough to keep me playing longer than I imagined, giving me the chance to discover even more, including an in-town event. While the game will have its limited appeal, the casual and social gamer will be overwhelmingly pleased with zOMG!.

Post subject: How is Rumford Baking Powder *double acting*?
Hi all,
Recently I made some muffins that turned out like cookies (I am new to cooking). I'm not sure exactly what the problem was, but it may have been b/c I forget to mix the dry ingredients before I put the milk and butter in. Anyway.. as I was thinking about what may have gone wrong, I took a look at my baking powder (I used Rumford baking powder) and saw that it has three ingredients:
1) Calcium Acid Phosphate (acid)
2) Bicarbonate of Soda (base)
3) Cornstarch (filler)
After doing some research I figured out the following. Calcium Acid Phosphate (aka Calcium dihydrogen phosphate) is a fast reacting acid that occurs at room temperature. I also read that some baking sodas are referred to as "Double Acting" b/c they have one acid that will react quickly at room temperature and one that reacts at high temperature. This Rumford baking powder sounds like it is single acting b/c it only has the one acid, but on the can it says "Double Acting". I am confused. Could somebody please explain?

Hi Nathan -
it is double acting -
"act the first" is a low / room temp chemical reaction with other food acids that produces carbon dioxide
"act the second" is on temperature rise more carbon dioxide is liberated
the calcium phosphate is the low temp; the bicarb the higher temp agent.
ref the muffin cookies.... baking powder does have a shelf life - once opened anything past 8-9 months is iffy - symptom: fails to react
I use a marker to put the "opened dated" on mine; toss it after six months - just to be safe -

Dilbert said: "the calcium phosphate is the low temp; the bicarb the higher temp agent. "
That doesn't make any sense to me. Bicarbinate of Soda is baking soda, which is included in all baking powder (if baking soda was the high temp agent, then all baking powders would be double acting). The calicum phosphate and bicarb are supposed to react *together* at low temp to produce carbon dioxide. According to the wikipedia article on baking soda: "Most modern baking powders are double acting, that is, they contain two acid salts, one which reacts at room temperature ... and another which reacts at a higher temperature" Baking soda is not an acid salt. The Rumford baking powder only has one acid salt in it (calcium phosphate) and thus cannot be double acting (right?)
As far as the expiry date, I think that may well have been the problem. The expiration date was 2003, but I thought it was still ok b/c when I put some of it in water, it fizzled. I just bought some new baking powder today and I tried putting the new stuff in the same amount of water and there was a significant difference in the amount of fizzling.
I still don't understand the double acting thing though

Nathan -
you're right on that point. fascinating topic as I researched it a bit more.
some baking powders have multiple acid compounds - Rumford (and others) curiously have one - but seems to work in a double acting manner. so apparently the precise chemical compound is critical to the double acting effect.
aluminum compounds are common; depending on the viewpoint of the writer, aluminum compounds get blasted for "bitter taste" and "makes your brain go south" (i.e. the alleged link between aluminum and Alzheimer's)
here's a good starting link:

I remain skeptical. I have yet to see it work in a double acting manner. I decided to test this out. I have placed 1 tsp of baking powder into 1/2 cup of water in a bowl at room temperature to completely react all of the low temp agent. I did this for both Rumford baking powder as well as Clabber Girl baking powder (which contains Sodium Aluminum Sulfate high temp agent). When I get home tonight, I will filter out the baking powder and then put it in some boiling salt water to see if it fizzles. Theoretically the high temp agent will not have reacted yet and I should see a reaction when I put it in the boiling water. I don't know if boiling water is a the right temperature, but if the Clabber Girl powder fizzles and the Rumford doesn't, then I would suspect that the "Double Acting" property of the Rumford powder is marketing BS.

That could very well be true.

clever experiment.
wish I knew the kick over temp for "act two" but nadda clew. . . .
where's the chemist when you need one!
I can imagine the Rumford has an initial reaction, releasing CO2, with a reaction by-product that release more CO2 when it hits temp.
others may rely on two separate acid compounds. . . . ?

nope. methinks we need a chemist to decipher "how it works" before one can design an experiment to 'prove'
ref the flat result (other thread) - not surprised - baking powder is a "mix and make" ingredient. having it sit out for days probably pushes it over the limit.

Post subject: Baking powder differences
I am responding to this old thread, as I was researching the same topic.
The Frequently Asked Questions section on Clabbergirl.com has the answers I was looking for.
"Q. Baking powder vs. baking soda What's the difference?
A. Baking soda is pure bicarbonate of soda also known as sodium bicarbonate it is an alkaline ingredient, and when mixed with acidic ingredients, it reacts and releases bubbles of carbon dioxide. It also has household uses.
Baking powders are leaveners used for cooking. They are made up of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda); an acid salt which reacts with moisture or heat, or both such as tartaric acid, mono-calcium or combination of acid salts; and cornstarch (an inert filler used to keep ingredients separated).
Q. What is the difference between Baking Powders?
A. Baking Powders differ in their reaction to moisture and heat depending on their formulation. Rumford Baking Powder's reaction is approximately 70% with moisture (or in the bowl) and the rest when heat is applied. Clabber Girl's reaction is approximately 40% with moisture and the rest when heat is applied. Some people prefer the Rumford brand because it does not contain the acid ingredient sodium aluminum sulfate.
Q. What is double acting baking powder?
A. The double action in baking powder means that the baking powder reacts twice, once in the bowl when moisture is applied and again when heat is applied. Almost all baking powders have been double acting for at least 100 years, so you can be confident that all consumer recipes that require baking powder call for double acting baking powder.
Q. Clabber Girl Baking Powder
A. Clabber Girl Baking Powder is a product designed to produce leavening in baked goods by the reaction of baking soda and acid ingredients. This reaction produced carbon dioxide (CO2) bubbles that provide lift, and tenderness, making foods more palatable.
It is composed of cornstarch (to keep active ingredients separated), sodium bicarbonate (baking soda, an alkaline), and acid ingredients sodium aluminum sulphate (reacts with soda when heated) and monocalcium phosphate (reacts with soda when combined with moisture).
Q. Reaction of Rumford Baking Powder (not single-acting but double-acting)
A. Rumford Baking Powder contains only monocalcium phosphate as a leavening acid. Due to the nature of how this acid releases carbon dioxide gas with sodium bicarbonate in the presence of moisture, two-thirds of the available gas is released within approximately two minutes.
It then becomes dormant at room temperature due to the generation of an intermediate form of dicalcium phosphate during the initial mixing. This stage of the reaction contains only one hydrogen ion and requires the catalyst of heat above 140 degrees F. in the batter."
In my opinion, the main difference is in how long you can mix before baking. If you are making something like pancake batter that you may not use immediately, a baking powder with a separate high-temperature ingredient like Clabber Girl will work better.

Double acting baking powder is indeed, double acting, as mentioned in other responses. Yes, their is a chemical and heat activated response.
Depending on the chemical agent, the "distribution" of the rise elements will vary.
I suggest "Bakewise" by Shirley Corriher - she has a list of the normal chemical agents in common baking powders.

The Secret World
The Secret World Overview
The Secret World is a MMORPG by Funcom renowned for its unusual, intricate universe, its complex advancement system, and its dedicated fan base. You play as a supernatural-imbued human who is part of one of three distinct secret societies dedicated to solving supernatural disasters around the globe. This is a storyline that incorporates urban myths, conspiracy theory, and modern fantasy elements into one RPG-friendly package. Wield one of many powers as you progress through a no-holds barred free-form skill tree; your success depends entirely on your choices and performance.
Key Features
Lovecraftian storytelling at its best – Horror, mystery and investigation are the key words for The Secret World. This is a story in which the enigmatic and bizarre often creep in, with interesting antagonists, and darkly mysterious locales.
Varieties of exotic locales – From the cold shores of New England, to the arid dunes of Egypt, and all the way to the forests of Transylvania, explore a series of interesting, mysterious, and sometimes odd locations.
Freeform progression – There is very little hand holding here. Pick your skills from among variety of different primary and auxiliary skill trees. There are neither classes nor levels here; your path depends entirely on your choices.
Wide variety of powers – Mix and match as you wish; whether you want to slash through your foe with a mix of swords and chaos magic or gun them down with and pistols and fireballs is entirely up to you.
Three distinct factions –
The Templars – The traditional society, crusaders against evil, and descendants of the original Templar order, they wish nothing less than the eradication of darkness.
The Illuminati – Manipulators, spiders and puppeteers, they pull the strings from behind the stage in their eternal quest for power.
The Dragon – Enigmatic sages and warriors, the Dragons use calculated chaos in order to preserve balance between metaphysical forces.

The Secret World Review
Full Review by Gui
There's no doubt that Funcom has a history of unusual titles and enthralling universes; Anarchy Online and the Longest Journey come to mind. Though it has had lukewarm success in the MMO market since Anarchy Online, the risks of innovation have clearly not fazed them. Thus, here comes the Secret World, at first released as a full price, monthly subscription title, and now in a buy-to-play format with subscription thrown aside in favor of a healthy in-game store. So what's the verdict on this one? Can it overcome its initially poor release, in order to conquer the hearts of the freemium(almost) market?
Magic… Bees?
The early steps into The Secret World are fairly simple, and the presentation is good; you pick a server, choose from one of the three factions, create your character, and you're off. The graphics are good, but not crazy – while the environments look impeccable, the character faces do look a bit odd and clay-like. Character creation is straightforward, with a few exceptions. There are no classes to choose from, and every faction is introduced through neat cinematic videos. The differences between them are purely storyline and aesthetic related, however (check the overview for more details on them). The customization options are few as far as the bodies go, but there are enough that you can look individual – a few sliders could go a long way towards making this a very good character creator. Afterwards, you're introduced to the game with a cinematic in which you're vaguely shown the process of your character's imbuing with supernatural power. Once in-game, expect a certain amount of time to get accustomed to all the details you're introduced to. The interface is minimalistic, simple, efficient, and most functions can be easily accessed without useless mucking about. The soundtrack, even at this point, deserves mention, and does wonders for instilling a sort of mystical feeling. Most areas have their own ambience, and every NPC in this game is fully voiced.
Horror Mania!
At the core, The Secret World is a simple go-there-do-that title, centered on questing and advancing the personal storyline. Where it rises above the masses, is how it does this. While the combat system is nothing crazy (more on this later), the soundtrack, the creatures, the voiced quests and the setting come together to create a strongly oppressive, yet intriguing universe. In a sense, it's like playing through a darker version of an Indiana Jones adventure, with a bit of Stephen King and World of Darkness mixed in. It's this pervasive ambience that fans of the Secret World enjoy so much. On the other hand, the combat is nothing to be impressed about. While there are many combat options, skills and tricks, it all feels a bit stiff, and in many cases, can get quite boring and repetitive when done in needless repetition. The PvE gameplay has you following a relatively linear progression through the story, and you'll go through three different sizeable geographical locations, with some special peppered throughout the game. Take heed, the Secret World is not an easy game, and your progression depends intensely on your character-building capacity. Some quests can even become impossible, and many will test your patience.
Puzzles & Conspiracies
The Secret World has special quests of its own called ARGs, in which the player needs to solve enigmas, and find clues in order to progress. These are by far the most difficult quests TSW has to offer, but also the most rewarding. They'll require you to use an in-game browser as you search Google and other sites for solutions. This takes a bit of research, but it can be very enjoyable, if sometimes frustratingly difficult. Other types of gameplay include lairs, which are PvE instances. While these are not especially difficult, they do take a bit of coordination. PvP on the other side is pretty interesting – when there are other participants, that is. You are unfortunately forced to use a faction uniform in order to participate, which sort of makes the point of getting clothes moot, if you can't show them while kicking opponents' rumps. There is also a bit of crafting to do, but it's entirely optional, and often more of a hassle than anything else. Quests reward skill points, ability points, currency and items. The first two are used to progress (it's worth noting that there is no level in The Secret World), with skill points used to improve general skills, while ability points unlock new ones.
Going Places. Weird Places.
Progression in The Secret World is a bit unorthodox. You get the two point types mentioned above, but their amount does not determine your "level". Rather, your items do, with items ranging from L1 to L10. Meanwhile, many things your level (or lower) can still hand you your head on a platter if you've not invested your ability and skill points wisely. Abilities function as a wheel; each weapon has two branches divided according to functionality, which in turn divide into more branches, leading to a fairly huge amount of potential abilities. In order to progress down these lines, you need to unlock every single ability along the way, so going far can turn out to be quite costly. You have two skill bars, one for activated abilities, and one for passive skills, with each of them having the same number of slots. All of this means that you must think carefully when choosing your abilities and build. As an example, you can build anything from katana/shotgun, to blood magic/hammer. The complexity and potential of this system is great, and classic RPG fans will definitely find something for them there as you can build exactly what you want, but the learning curve will not please everyone, and a bad choice can lead you in being stuck in an area for a long while.
Goodies & Gear
The in-game store is one area where The Secret World does pretty good. For a start, while the in-game quest system has tons of free unlockable pieces of clothing, the in-game store has some truly solid options to add for those willing to invest. Secondly, the prices are actually pretty good; Funcom frequently has promotions and even point give-aways for subscribers. Subscribers? That's right, while Funcom went off the subscription model; they've retained the option for those willing. This new subscription gives subscribers monthly in-game store currency, extra experience, and access to special items. With that said, the store is otherwise what you'd expect; some pets, some boosters, and miscellaneous goodies. In the end, the lack of character skin customization is definitely balanced by the amount of accessible vanity items. In addition, there are tons of pieces of in-game lore and achievements to hunt if ever you get bored. In any case, whatever The Secret World does, it does in style.
Final Verdict: Good
The Secret World is one combat system short of being an excellent, long lasting title. It's not quite there yet, but almost. This is nonetheless a solid game that will offer you an intense, mysterious, and memorable experience that will leave you wishing for more. It's not for everyone, and beginners, or those sick of the same old go-there-kill-that, should stay away. But if you enjoy a challenge, a good story, or even just an interesting universe, then this is a game that you should not miss.

According to the locals, Naples has some of the calmest waters and best sand in the area. With a population of about 19,950, Naples is a small city with access to lots of local amenities.
According to the Naples Insider, Naples is the home buyer's destination for purchasing a second property. However, if you're looking for Naples apartments for rent for year round living, there are plenty of communities to chose from. Naples offers a wide range of boating communities, beach communities and golf communities to live in if these activities suit your interests. If you're interested in boating, look into the Aqualane Shores neighborhood, where most homes have direct access to the Gulf of Mexico. Eagle Oak Ridge has mostly Naples apartments and condos, so if you're looking for an established community, this is your choice. Finally, if you want a unique apartment, check out Old Naples, which has some of the original homes from Naples' history, not to mention great shopping. While in Naples, take a tour of the Everglades through Everglades Island Airboat Tours, go on a swamp buggy adventure through Captain Steve's and enjoy the history of the city at the Naples Historical Society. Head to the City Dock at the end of the day for beautiful views of the ocean, dining and shopping.
Receiving an A+ for amenities, housing and weather from AreaVibes, you'll want to find Naples apartments for rent right away in this "exceptionally livable" city. Naples may have great weather and lots of local amenities, but beware of high housing costs.The cost of living in Naples is 35.4 percent greater than the Florida average.

Anyone happen to know if this version supports Xorg Server 1.11 yet?
Phoronix: AMD Catalyst 11.10 Linux Driver Released
On the last day of the month, AMD has released Catalyst 11.10 as their October 2011 proprietary Linux driver update...
Anyone happen to know if this version supports Xorg Server 1.11 yet?
Just wondering if anyone has tried it out.
Come on AMD!
Tried it out.
Kernel panic with 3.1 based kernels.
Compiz performance is still a slide show with Juniper hardware... More like a flip-book really
Anyone tried it on Gnome-Shell yet? Do we finally have a working fglrx with Gnome-Shell??
What I'm trying to say is that if your system doesn't suspend properly, it probably never will.
Argh, I hoped xorg 1.11 support would be included in this release. I just hope 11.11 gets released sooner next month.

You know, a great big fat person once stood on this stage and told a group of a dozen or so nerds in hideous disco outfits that glee, by its very definition, is about opening yourself up to joy. Now it's no secret that for a long time I thought that was a load of hooey. As far as I could see the glee club was nothing but a place where a bunch of cowardly losers go to sing their troubles away and delude themselves into thinking that they live in a world that cares one iota about their hopes and dreams, totally divorced from the harsh reality that in the real world there's not much more to hope for than disappointment, heartbreak, and failure. And you know what. I was exactly right. Thats exactly what glee club is. But I was wrong about the cowardly part. What I finally realized, now that I'm well into my late thirties, it takes a lot of bravery to look around you and see the world not as it is but as it should be. A world where the quarterback becomes best friends with the gay kid, and the girl with the big nose ends up on Broadway. Finding the courage to open up your heart and sing about it. That's what glee club is. And for the longest time I thought that was silly, and now I think it's just about the bravest thing that anyone could do.Sue

Picture framing terminology
In order to reduce the confusion about the orientation of mats and openings, the following explanations will assist when placing orders and in references to mats and frames.
Orientation of a mat and opening
Glossary of Terms
Acid Free: A term used to describe paper materials with a pH at or around 7. Acid-free materials are more permanent and less likely to discolor over time. The term Archival or conservation quality more accurately describes true acid-free conservation quality matboard.
Archival: The framing procedure where all materials are acid free. This is the same as Conservation framing.
Adhesive Transfer (ATG) Tape: A double-sided tape used to stick mat boards and other materials together. Usually used with an applicator or "ATG gun", available at art supply stores.
Beveled Edge: The 45-degree cut on a matboard. This allows about 1/16" of the core to be seen. A reverse bevel means the core will not be seen from the front of the mat.
Bottom Weighting: A term used when additional border is applied to the bottom of a mat but not the top. In some instances it can look very good. A disadvantage is that the mat cannot be used both vertically and horizontally.
Conservation Framing: The framing procedure where all materials that come in contact with the artwork are totally acid free. This minimizes the effect of adverse atmospheric conditions.
Double Mat: Two mats are used. The top mat has a slightly larger opening than the bottom mat; the difference being called the reveal. When ordering, define only the exact opening you require and the reveal.
Floating Artwork: A double mat (or more) is used. The bottom mat does not have an opening. The opening in the main mat is larger than the image. The image is attached to the bottom mat, so a small portion of this mat can still be seen.
Foam Core: A stiff light material used as a backing board to give rigidity. Foam makes up the center of the board with a layer of paper on its surfaces. Foam core is usually 3/16" to 1/8" thick, and is very smooth. Excellent for mounting posters and lighter paper.
Hardware: The materials used with metal or wooden frames to make them ready to assemble and hang.
Image Size: This is the size of the actual image, not the surrounding border. Unless part of the border is to be shown, the window of the mat should be smaller than the image size in order for it to be attached to the back of the mat.
Mat Board: A board comprised of two parts: the core and the paper face. Most matboard is 4-ply or about 1/16" thick. Occasionally 2-ply or Ultra-Thick (8-ply) is used. Mat board is available in many forms.
Mat Board Core: The center area of mat board. Usually 1/16" thick. It can be regular or conservation quality.
Mounting Board: A board used to mount images when this is necessary. Regular or acid-free foamcore make excellent mounting boards.
Plexi-glass: An acrylic material used instead of glass. It is very light in comparison to glass and much more resistant to breakage. Regularly found in 1 mm plexi (.04") and 3 mm plexi (1/8").
Profile: The term used to describe how a frame looks when viewed from one end. It will describe the width and height of the mat, and the dimensions of the rabbet. The rabbet describes the 90 degree cut made to house the glass and mat package.
Regular matboard: This is good quality mat, and the least expensive. It is often termed "acid-free" but should not be confused with conservation quality mat.
Reveal: In a double mat, the reveal is the amount of the bottom mat that will show. The rest will be behind the top mat.
Shadow Box: A term used when thicker items are framed. This can be anything from a medal which may only require 1/4 inch of depth to a baseball bat requiring 3 inches. Or perhaps much more.

Sharon Rice: I'm pleased to welcome guest blogger Jonathan Thatcher, CSCP, to "Think Supply Chain." Thatcher is the APICS director of research. He also writes the "Ask APICS" department for APICS magazine.
If you like supply chain maps, take a look at the website Sourcemap. This free social mapping site is capturing a growing number of supply chain maps that "tell the story behind a product or a service: map the locations of suppliers, add descriptions, photos and videos, calculate the carbon footprint, and embed or link to the map to share it with the world!" Or have you ever wanted to "mash-up" different kinds of data into a single chart and see what they looks like? What insights might appear?
Google describes "Fusion Tables" as a service for data management, integration, and collaboration. According to the Google site, "You can easily upload data sets from CSV, KML, and spreadsheets, and visualize the data using a variety of tools. Users can merge data from multiple tables and conduct detailed discussions about the data (on rows, columns, and even cells). You can easily visualize large data sets on Google Maps and embed visualizations on other web pages."
Now consider Google Public Data Explorer, which easily produces charts and graphs from datasets of public records and performance metrics. Examples include economic performance, population demographics, and international rankings of regions, from the World Bank, the United Nations, and other national government data providers. With this tool, you can combine your own datasets and produce graphs.
Supply Chain Mapping Tools
These new applications help us visualize supply chain strategy. For example, by comparing different supply chain maps, we can see which are designed for speed or lower transportation costs.
Another possible application is to look at changes in a company's supply chain map over time. This tells the company's story. How did it grow? What long-term decisions and investments did it make? How complex did its supply chain become? And if you look at the supply chain maps of several companies serving in the same industry, you can start to see their separate strategies by regions, distances, similarities, and differences. Students can instantly see real-world examples of theory.
Public supply chain maps offer supply chain practitioners a number of benefits and challenges. Benefits include supporting sales and marketing when you are local to your most important customers, or when you want to emphasize investment in specific locations or nations. New audiences also can find new uses for supply chain data. For example, regional planners can see how their company-specific supply chain fits their resource and infrastructure planning. New suppliers can look for under-served locations and spot growth opportunities.
With these new innovations come new challenges. Competitors can study your supply chain map and better estimate your strengths and weaknesses in areas such as supply chain risk, supplier preferences, and potential distribution patterns. Customers may misunderstand the true scale and volume of your supply chain. In the past, supply chain professionals could only dream of easy-to-use tools to visualize and share supply chains maps. And they could not imagine the visibility and awareness these tools would create.
Combined with social media and blogs, new audiences are continually "consuming" supply chain mapping information. These new audiences include, but are not limited to, small businesses, government planners, competitors, and supply chain partners. Online supply chain maps are part of the big data revolution. Big data tools help graph and visualize complex relationships, making them more understandable.
But all this raises several questions. Can public access to supply chain maps be too much of a good thing? Do these maps potentially reveal competitive information? Is it possible access to this information will lead the public to form faulty conclusions that are difficult to correct? Or does this level of transparency benefit the customer in the end?

As you start your spring cleaning, ask yourself whether your kitchen needs extra attention. Would it hold up to a health and safety inspection like the ones restaurants undergo?
A food safety quiz developed by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health can help you answer that question. (The link to the quiz appears in the reference list.) More than 10,000 home cooks completed the quiz between 2006 and 2008, and the results were surprising. Nearly 40 percent got a grade of C or lower.
Here's a taste of the questions:
If you said no to any of these questions, you're not alone. Anywhere from one-fourth to one-half of home cooks fail to follow these basic food safety practices. Other important but commonly missed safety precautions include:
I don't know about you, but I don't want to eat in a restaurant that can't pass inspection. Why should it be different for my kitchen? I'm going to focus my spring cleaning on cleaning up my kitchen. I'm going to give my refrigerator, stove and oven a thorough cleaning — and I'll wipe down the cupboards too. How about you?

yeah i am going to do the same thing what is the best thing to clean ur fridge with is it okay to use lyosol to clean it because i have never really used anything but hot water and dish soap because it feels the safest way to clean it but could u give me some tips on what to do and how to clean properly i just moved out of my parents place and am on my ow now so if u could please help me that would be great
I must say that having a clean kitchen is a good start in getting healthy and fit.
Going through many seniors' kitchens, I've observed and removed outdated canned goods, frozen foods and dried foods. I mean REALLY outdated! Might there be some in your kitchen?
I worked in restaurants for many years and learned a lot from health inspectors.Look at your can opener How many times do you clean it? I got in the habit of using clean dishcloths and towels each day. Thermometers of course in freezer and refrigerator.

Son of ORHS grad among shooting victims: Oyster River community extends sympathy to family of David Wheeler
Wednesday, December 19, 2012
DURHAM — The child of an Oyster River High School graduate is among the victims of Friday's mass killings at a Connecticut elementary school.
Francine Wheeler, is a music educator and singer-songwriter. Sometimes the musical mother would try out tunes on her own children, and some tunes that she made up for Ben as a baby eventually found their way onto a CD, she told the Newtown Bee newspaper.
"He was trying to give his kids the kind of experience he had growing up," Hotaling said.
The Connecticut Funeral Directors Association issued the statement below on behalf of the Wheeler family:
Benjamin Wheeler is scheduled to be buried Thursday at the church in a private ceremony. Funeral arrangements are being handled by the B.C. Bailey Funeral Home.

https://launchpad.net/mir. The development is public. If Canonical decides to change the licence to a proprietary one at 12:00 PM tomorrow, then you are free to fork any code that is available up to 11:59 AM under GPL 3 if you are so inclined. That means any contributions made by any contributor will be available for any one to use it. The proprietary version wouldn't be able to accept further contributions from the community under GPL 3. Therefore, there is no stealing of one's code by Canonical for a proprietary product.
I hope that clears some things up.
The fact that GPL code is being used in a proprietary format is itself a GPL violation. Once it's closed who's to say what changes were made? The GPL requires that modifications be made public. If they continue developing the same code base then that in fact does qualify as a violation. The only way to aviod the violation is to replace all existing code with new code.
EDIT: If the fork continues developing on the same code base then they are making changes, and the GPL requires changes also be GPL. It is the entire premise of the copyleft.
Last edited by duby229; 03-19-2013 at 04:30 PM.
That is why any contributor should read the CLA and understand before they sign it and contribute to any project that is under Canonical's CLA.
If a contributor is okay with Canonical using their code in that way, then they sign and contribute. If they are not okay with that, then they do not sign and do not contribute to the project.
I suggest you read Canonical's CLA to better understand how it works.
Canonical's CLA is not a code licence like GPL or BSD. It is a contract which if you agree to and sign gives Canonical the right to use your contributions in any way they want.
The CLA in no way circumvents the GPL.
Last edited by jayrulez; 03-19-2013 at 05:07 PM.
I've never contributed a line to the Linux kernel, but knowing that dead people hold the copyrights for some pieces (nearly) guarantees me that it will never be closed. (It's unlikely that someone could code around those contributions AND get everyone to sign something.)
A CLA could cause a LibreOffice-like split unless it's owned by a stable foundation like FSF (which is different than a company in that it's not owned/bought/sold except in ways that adhere to strict bylaws).
That being said, an early LibreOffice-like split of Mir:
- before usability, means it dies & more Wayland focus,
- after mass-adoption means the split wins (like LibreOffice did).
So I see little concern in contributing as worst-case is either a quick play-out or LibreOffice-style success.
It's true that I havent read the CLA yet, so maybe I'm just not seeing the whole picture. But the point of the GPL is that it doesnt matter who owns the code. Thats the entire reason for the copyleft. I could own it, you could own it, microsoft could own it and it still wouldnt matter. The GPL does -NOT- protect the author or the owner. It is designed for the purpose of protecting the code. It doesnt matter what the authors or the owners want to do. If a code base is licensed GPL then the terms of the GPL need to be abided by. The owner of the code can't simply decide that the terms of the GPL don't apply to itself. The GPL specifically states that in no uncertain terms.
EDIT: Again that is the whole point for the copyleft. you can't simply decide that it doesnt apply to you. It doesnt protect you, it protects the code. It doesnt matter if you make people sign over the rights to the code to you. The GPL doesnt protect you. It doesnt matter if you are the owner or author or whatever else. You don't matter, only the code does.
And you are right that the CLA does not circumvent the GPL. But if canonical decides to change the license from GPL to something else and then doesnt make changes that they made to the GPL code base public then they are violating the GPL. The only way to avoid that would be to replace all of the existing GPL code.
It doesnt matter who owns the code whether it is you or canonical or god. Once it is licensed GPL then the terms need to be abided by.

In that case, some devs were ok with the nvidia request others did not, the results was NO.Back in January was when a request was made by NVIDIA to change the DMA-BUF symbols for dealing with the shared buffers to be exported under EXPORT_SYMBOL rather than EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. At the moment with the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL usage, DMA-BUF can't be used by non-GPL kernel drivers
With the CLA Canonical can change the license of the project without consult the others contributors at all.
