Phoronix: Encore 802.11n PCI Wireless Adapter
While wireless chipsets are not as complicated as graphics processors, under Linux they can cause just as many headaches when it comes to getting them working reliably. More hardware vendors have opened up to supporting their wireless chipsets under Linux, but still it can be a pain having to hunt down the firmware for a wireless adapter, needing to build an out-of-tree driver, having issues with the driver such as with WEP/WPA authentication, or if all else fails trying to get the Windows driver working under Linux through ndiswrapper. However, for those looking for a PCI-based 802.11g/n wireless adapter that will work "out of the box" with modern distributions like Ubuntu 9.10, one that we have found to do the job is the Encore ENLWI-N.
It seems nice.
Is ad-hoc supported ?
And packets sniffing ?
In the UK I use this:
Edimax EW-7728In
Same as the card in the article, just available in the UK instead of not.
That's not a poke at the article, just letting people know you can get an equivalent in the UK.
It even advertises it's Linux compatibility on the box!
Second and more importantly, the RaLink drivers are crippled intentionally and the company is not supporting them in any way! What is missing -- essentially Master (AP) mode and a proper kernel interface (the configuration has to be done using some arcane RaLink-specific parameters). The "true" open-source drivers for this chipset are developed at http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com and are still in early stages of non-working after several years (!).
So I wouldn't consider this card as a good choice for Linux at this point, as it can only be useful on a pure client role on an older M/B. There are USB alternatives that work just as well (even including the very same chipset) and are more versatile, or miniPCI solutions from the likes of Atheros that have better drivers and support.
I have seen a gradual shift from PCI to PCI-express, but PCI isn't quite dead yet. given that this card is limited to 802.11n speeds (300 Mbit/s?), it's not even close to capping out the max bandwidth of the PCI bus (133 MB/s).
Besides the few mini-itx boards out there that have PCI-express x16 slots instead of a PCI slot, I haven't seen any other motherboards on sale recently that don't have at least one or two PCI slots.
I got a laptop with a PCI-E RT2860 recently and the experience is the exact opposite of what the article suggests.
The driver's flaky and half-finished at best. It drops the connection randomly every so often, or instantly if I do certain things like attempt to run powertop. The dmesg log gets flooded with debug messages even though I'm certain there's no wifi debugging compiled into the kernel. I've had wicd completely freeze a few times requiring a reboot too.
All in all, Ralink's linux support is a joke.
The i7 860 matx I recently built has 3 pci-e and 1 pci.
I built a dual i7 with atx. 5 pci-e and 1 pci. Last year I built a dual core2 quad, 4 pci-e, 1 pci (can't access in the case I have).
Stores local carry no pci-e wireless and they're still rare in the wild. Same can be said for tuner cards, sound cards, etc.
To me any device that goes into any slot is useless unless it comes with a low profile bracket.
If they want to sell me one of these cards they better include a low profile bracket in the package.

Orcs in Hobbiton
7. Our Lily
Gershit has never milked a goat before. He doesn't want to now. He swore at the old grandmother but she is deaf and palsied; besides, this is her son's job. "My Brogo is a good boy. He never forgets our Lily." They hanged her Brogo yester-noon but he can't make her understand. "It's not like him to be late. He knows my hands aren't what they were."
Our Lily's white-rimmed eye rolls at Gershit around the stanchion corner. It was a business getting her into it and he rubs his bruises ill-temperedly. "Old bitch," he tells the imprisoned goat, "I'll make you smart for those." One long ear flicks and he knows she wants to kick him, but Norgush will have something to say if the milk does not make tally. Gershit takes the mottled teats in his gray hands.
Old Lady Hobbit stands by, stooped and smiling, gnarled hands folded before her. "You are a good friend to my Brogo to come here in his place." She is blind as well as deaf. Her eyes are cloudy with cataracts.
Our Lily fusses in her wooden pillory and Gershit mutters obscenities. Squeeze pull, squeeze pull. Milk hissing into the pan.

Jerry Tabor holds
Doctor of Musical Arts and Master of Music degrees in
composition from the University of Maryland at College Park,
where he studied with esteemed composer and theorist, Thomas
DeLio. He earned a Bachelor of Music degree in theory and
composition at the University of New Mexico under the guidance
of Scott Wilkinson, William Wood. While at UNM, Tabor met John
Cage and took master classes with such composers as Milton
Babbitt and Michael Colgrass.
Tabor writes music for various instrumental combinations,
including orchestra, mixed chamber ensembles, chorus, vocal solo
with piano, and jazz ensembles, as well as for the
electroacoustic medium. His music has been commissioned by
respected performers such as Frank Cox, Thomas Moore, and the
Links Ensemble, as well as the Salisbury Symphony Orchestra. A
number of Tabor's compositions published by Silent Editions and
several are recorded on the Neuma Records label. His 1989
woodwind quintet, Texture and Color on a Wall, won the
University of New Mexico Composition Competition and his 1994
work for large chamber ensemble, Ambit, was a finalist in
the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers
(ASCAP) Foundation Young Composer Competition (1995). More
recently, as a guest composer, his music has been featured at
the John Donald Robb International Composers Symposium (NM), the
Western Illinois University New Music Festival, The
Electroacoustic Music: The Continuing Tradition conference (MD),
the Holy Cross College New Music Festival (MA), George Mason
University (VA), SUNY Buffalo, Catholic University of America

also been presented in Europe and at such festivals as the
International Computer Music Conference, the Percussive Arts
Society International Conference, the American Society for
Cybernetics Conference, the Electronic Music Midwest Festival,
and Society of Composers conferences.
Tabor's research is focused in the areas of composition
theory and compositional pedagogy. His important book on a
pioneering theorist and cognitive musicologist, entitled,
Otto Laske: Navigating New Musical Horizons, is published by
Greenwood Press (1999). He played an important role in the
organization of a significant Mellen Press volume on the work of
Thomas DeLio, Essays on the Music and Theoretical Writings of
Thomas DeLio, Contemporary American Composer, for which he
coauthored the introduction (2008). He also published several
essays in the Computer Music Journal and wrote the

London, England (KWKT) — The "Royal Baby" was presented to the world outside of St. Mary's Hospital on Tuesday.
The world watched the door of the mdical center in London, waiting to catch a glimpse of England's newborn prince with parents William and Kate.
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, and husband Prince William welcomed their first child on Monday
The baby boy was born at 4:24 p.m., weighing 8 pounds, 6 ounces. A name has not yet been announced for the child, who is now third in line to the throne.
Earlier in the day, the duchess and Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, traveled by car from Kensington Palace to the Lindo Wing at St. Mary's Hospital early Monday morning.
The hospital, next to Paddington Station in London, is where William and his brother Prince Harry were born.
The baby's name may be announced when the family leaves the hospital, CNN royal correspondent Max Foster reported. Prince William's name was announced a few days after birth, his brother Harry's on departure from hospital.
Some British parents have delayed naming their newborns in recent days in hopes of either copying or avoiding the royal name, he said.
The child's title will be His or Her Royal Highness Prince or Princess (the baby's name) of Cambridge, St. James's Palace said this month.
"Both my wife and I are overjoyed at the arrival of my first grandchild. It is an incredibly special moment for William and Catherine and we are so thrilled for them on the birth of their baby boy," said Charles, Prince of Wales. "Grandparenthood is a unique moment in anyone's life, as countless kind people have told me in recent months, so I am enormously proud and happy to be a grandfather for the first time and we are eagerly looking forward to seeing the baby in the near future."
The Royal Family released a statement saying, "The Queen and Prince Philip are delighted at the news of the birth of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's baby."

[edit] Optical Motion Detection as Interaction Technology for Mobile Phones
Physical interaction with a mobile device is a crucial design step in mobile device hardware and software development. Especially mobile phones have small keys and mass market phones are usually equipped with a sub-QVGA-screen. Therefore the possibilities for concepts of interaction with the device are limited to some extent. There are a few established interaction techniques that have settled troughout the mobile device market. Namely these are Keypads, Touchscreens and Voice Recognition.
[edit] Classification of Input Techniques
There are a few main parameters that define the usability of those interaction techniques. The reaction time between the user input and the response on output devices such as the display is a very crucial parameter. Any visual response on the output device after a few 100 ms is not interpreted as a direct reaction to the user, but as a separate event. The quantity of actions a user is able to perform using a specific input technique defines the speed at which he can interact with the device. The intuitivity of an input method strongly affects the usability and user acceptance.
[edit] Pros and Cons of Common Input Techniques
The keypad is the most often used interaction channel on mobile phones, many devices are accessible throuch keypresses only. The Metaphor of pressing keys is from a hardware and software point of view well developed and standardized nowadays. Keys offer a very short reaction time but mostly lack intuitivity. If the concept of the key usage is consistent and once learnt by the user the input quantity is very high. Voice recognition is a very intuitive input technique, but today algorithms lacks fast reaction time, input quantity and also reliability. Touch screens can be a very intuitive way of interacting with a screen based mobile device. The reaction time is comparable with key input but the input quantity strongly depends on the UI design. The reaction time on devices nowadays is comparable with key input. Though being a pretty neet input technique touch screens only make it into high end phones, because of their high production costs comparedto key input. Each of these techniques has mentionable advantages. Key interaction offers a good reaction time. Voice recognition is very intuitive to use. Touch Screens combine a fair amount of intuitivity and interan quantity.
[edit] A concept of a new intuitive Interaction Technology
In the times where computers were evolving people had to learn the physical language of the devices they built. Nowadays people are used to more intuitive devices, that can understand them, at least to some extent. Filling the last gap between human and machine would require the most intuitive way to interact with devices by copying interaction metaphors we use in everyday life. Using motion is one of the most natural ways to interact with our environment. If a device could sense and interpret the motions of the user this would be a very intuitive interaction method. Since there are not many mobile phones equipped with sensors being capable of doing that, one exception is the acceleration sensor on the Nokia 5500 for example, we have to use the standard hardware of the device. There are hardly any mobile phones purchasable that do not come with a built-in camera, we couold use for this purpose. The key of this concept is the user moving the mobile device which results in a moving video stream of the camera. The direction and velocity of the movement of the device can be calculated with a suitable algorithm and voilà ... our device can sense user motion and use them as an interaction technique. The obvious advantage over the other interaction methods is the high intuitivity, but also the feature of the high resolution of the input actions in contrast to the binary keypresses (pressed or not) for example.
[edit] The Projection Shift Analysis algorithm
We developed an algorithm, that qualifies for detecting motion information in an image sequence using a very low amount of CPU time and memory resources. In the first step the image is projected onto its x- and y-axis. That means all luminance values of each row is summed up in the vertical and each column in a horizontal projection. If the scene within an image sequence is moved vertically or horizontally the corresponding projection buffers will shift equally. For example an image sequence containing a horizontal panning shot from the left to the right will result in a horizontal projection buffer whose values will shift to the left over time. Thus our approach searches for the best matching shift between two projection buffers of two successive images. To estimate the best match we introduce a value called badness factor that is similar to a correlation factor and characterises the badness of a specific shift. A lower value indicates a higher probability for this shift to be correct. The algorithm calculates the badness factor for every reasonable shift through summing up all squared differences of the values of the compared projection buffers. The shift value used to calculate the smallest normalised badness factor is assumed to be the correct relative motion between the two compared images. Here is an example of the source code that shows the simplicity of this algorithm.
The following code lines contains the algorithm that calculates the best fitting shift of (e.g. the motion between) two projection buffers (either horizontal or vertical) of two successive images.
int CompareAccBuffers(unsigned long* acc_buffer_1, unsigned long* acc_buffer_2, int length, int max_shift) {
int compare_length;
unsigned long *buffer1, *buffer2;
int i, shift, badness_delta, best_index=0;
unsigned long badness_factor, best_badness_factor=0xFFFFFFFF;
for (shift=-max_shift; shift<=max_shift; ++shift) {
if (shift<0) {
else {
for (i=0; i<compare_length; ++i) {
// linear coorelation
// square coorelation
badness_factor+=(badness_delta*badness_delta)>>9; // shifting down the value avoids exeeding the max value of the badness_factor (for unsigned long= 0xFFFFFFFF) at a maximum resolution of 320*240
if (best_badness_factor>badness_factor) {
return best_index;
[edit] Application Case Studies
To test the concept of sensing motion detection through the camera we implemented a highly optimized algorithm called Projection Shift Analysis, which used very low memory and CPU resources. On top of that we built various applications to test the concept with common metaphors which require interaction:
Map Navigator is an application that allows the user to view and scroll a map on the screen. As simple as the scrolling problem might sound, the greater was the impact on the user experience to view different parts of the map by just moving or turning the device. All of the test persons instantly knew how to use the application, partly without even knowing what we wanted them to to with our application.
With CameraCursor we wanted to test if our concept is capable of controlling a cursor to support a fair interaction speed. The user is able to control a cross cursor in our application, again by just moving the mobile phone. By pressing and holding the appropriate button the cursor draws lines while moving on the screen.
Labyrinth Game is a remake of the good old wooden labyrinth game in which you can control a marble by tilting the play field. The nature of the game is very similar to the motion concept we developed.
TheBiggerPicture: There are already some tools and cameras that can combine several static images to one big panorame image for example, but this does not happen at "shoot"-time but afterwards. Using the motion detection the application can stitch together the video stream of the camera at run-time to generate "the bigger picture". By just moving the mobile phone into the desired direction you can do a custom size image. The usage of the application is perceived as a painting the screen with the video content by only moving the phone.
[edit] Resumée
The four described applications worked very well with the presented motion detection interaction concept. They also showed, that the concept offers fair amounts of all the above mentioned properties (reaction time, interaction quantity and especially intuitivity)
With the optimized algorithm it would be instantly possible to integrate this kind of input method to any device where the developer has access to the camera. The next step of the motion detection concept would be to recognize motion gestures on basis of the captured device motion, which is very similar to mouse gestures, that are used in the desktop version of the opera browser for example. The user can draw a virtual gestures in the air with his device, which executes a predefined command. In the last years the motion detection and gesture recognition metaphor has been used in some proprietary applications, but never made it to the mass market. Except for the Samsung SPH-S4000 and SCH-S400, which has an acceleration sensor built in, which is used for gesture detection on the devices.
The technology is there, but the mass market business cases are still not ready yet to incorporate the motion detection concept as a key form of interaction method. But providing it as an alternate form of interacting with a device along with other conventional forms could be a start for this concept.

Paul and Dorothy Teeple Niagara Falls Canada
We had a magnificant stay in Sept 2010 with our friends. The villa rooms were exceptional, large and comfortable. The villa is extremely clean and the staff are absolutley the best. Simone, Sandra, Nicola, and Ricardo were so nice it was like family. The meals prepared by moma were the best we had in 4 weeks in Italy. If you are looking for Tuscany...go to this location and you have found it...sun, grape vines, olive trees, boar, pheasant, hunters, and peace. Located 8 minutes down the dusty road to San Gimi.. location is perfect. We miss them all, and Sandra can even sing...amazing. When we go back to the area we will go back to this wonderful location. A glass of Chianti, cheese, sopressata, the view, the perfect hosts..impossible to find a better place. Thanks for the time of our lives.

I was part of a group of 9 people who stayed for 2 weeks in September/October 2010. Before booking, I had studied your website on many occasions and found everything enchanting but the reality was, incredibly, even better. I agree with everything everyone else on the guestbook has said about the views, accommodations, food, and can only rave about the incredible courtesy, kindess and hospitality of your family - especially lovely Mama, to whose awe-inspiring cooking skills I can only pay homage. I did not want to leave. I hope very much to return. I am torn between raving abut this place to all and sundry, and selfishly wanting to keep it to myself so that it is not spoiled. Thank you all so much again for making my trip to Italy such a wonderful, happy and positive experience. Very best wishes, Maggie Marshall

I couldn't recommend Il Borghetto highly enough. The location is brilliant, magnificent Tuscan countryside within easy access of wonderful San Gimignano. The apartments are all very different in size shape and outlook, but all are delightful and beautifully decorated. We couldn't wait for the restarant nights, the food was to die for! Sandra and Simona and the boys couldn't be nicer or more helpful. I will be recommending Il Borghetto.

The Classics Departments of Miami University and Ohio University are engaged in a new cooperative venture that puts Miami and OU students virtually in the same classroom. OU Classics Professor James Andrews is teaching a 300 level course on Greek poetry at OU with his own five students of advanced Greek, together with three Miami students, who participate in the class via teleconferencing technology. The three Miami students, Tyler Gau, Stephanie Krause, and Joe Ostrander, join the class from Room 220 Laws Hall, where equipment and software there make it possible for them to see and hear the other students in the class, and to be seen and heard by them. The technology also makes it possible for the instructor to display content to all the students at once, whether it is a virtual blackboard that he writes on, texts in various formats, video, or web content. Best of all the arrangement reproduces the feeling of seminar in which students across the state can interact with each other as though they were in the same room.
The arrangement was prompted in part by the interest in making under-enrolled courses more viable at each institution. Small classes have become targets of economizing in challenging financial times for both universities. In the last several years, such classes have had to be cancelled or taught as an overload course. This new arrangement is a better solution for economizing, cutting in half the number of under-enrolled or overload courses at each institution. Although Classics Professor Stephen Nimis is the official instructor of record for the Miami students, his role this semester has been minimal and purely logisitical. Next semester, Nimis will teach a 400 level Latin course that will include advanced Latin students from both Miami and OU, while another advanced Greek course will be offered by OU Professor William Owens.
Beyond the issue of resources, the arrangement has had pedagogical consequences that are equally significant. These students are being introduced to the advantages and problems of a technology that is destined to play a greater role in future educational and business contexts. Students at both institutions will also now have a broader cohort of fellow classicists who share their enthusiasm for the subjects they study, as well as access to a broader range of instructors. In fact, this last weekend Nimis and the three Miami students travelled to Athens, Ohio, for the Ohio Classical Conference that was hosted by OU. The students from the class were able to meet each other, watched a performance of Mary Zimmerman's Metamorphoses, and participated in a conference panel on their experiences in the class. One of the OU students, Rachel Thomas, had presented a paper last year at Miami's annual Undergraduate Classics Conference, and the OU students are already planning to come in larger numbers for this spring's conference.
In preparation for the course this fall, faculty and staff met several times over the summer to test out various hardware and software options. Technical support from Miami's Tim Schroeder and OU's Jessica Makosky was essential for the success of the experiment.
The Department of Classics is committed to teaching and scholarly work in the areas of Greek, Latin, and Classical Humanities and to contributing to the general liberal education of students enrolled in its courses at all levels.

A sport that's been growing steadily in popularity over the past few years, especially in the New York metro area, youth lacrosse has a wide appeal and boasts many benefits for children.
Lacrosse has long been a popular sport in Long Island's Nassau and Suffolk counties, but in recent years, its popularity has grown throughout the New York Metro area. U.S. Lacrosse, the governing body of lacrosse in the United States, reports that in the last year alone the sport's participation rate grew by 8.4 percent, with 12.1 percent of that growth at the youth level. Since 2001, participation in the sport has more than doubled, from 253,931 participants to 568,021 players in 2009.
"It seems like only yesterday when it was out of the ordinary to see a lacrosse stick in one's hands, so much so that most adults didn't even know what the stick was used for much less anything about the game," says Craig Scialdone, the girls lacrosse director for WestRock Lacrosse in Westchester County. "Over the last 10 years, the attitude toward lacrosse has changed dramatically."
Lacrosse, which is often compared to soccer because of its strategy and fitness benefits, is a team sport that involves passing a solid rubber ball downfield from player to player using a lacrosse stick. Each lacrosse stick has a loose mesh end designed to catch and hold the lacrosse ball. Once players have moved into their opponent's section of the field, they attempt to score by shooting the ball into their opponent's goal. As in soccer, a goalie and other defenders will try to block the offensive team's shot. Traditionally, the regular lacrosse season starts in the spring. However, the growth of the sport has caused numerous travel teams that play yearround to crop up in the New York metro area. Camps and clinics are also offered throughout the year.
"What was a seasonal sport for few has become a yearround way of life for many," Scialdone says.
The Appeal
Coaches and parents of lacrosse players aren't surprised that the sport is catching on. Lacrosse is incredibly accessible and involves little equipment. There are modifications such as soft sticks, which allow players to catch and throw the ball more easily, that make it possible for children as young as 4 or 5 to participate. Many parents are becoming more familiar with the sport, too.
"The culture that has been created is a direct result of today's youth having at least one or possibly both parents who were exposed to lacrosse," Scialdone asys. "Additionally, younger siblings who have older brothers or sisters playing want to get involved with the sport as well."
Suzanne Beck knew nothing about lacrosse when her son Bradley, now 11, first started playing on Oyster Bay's inaugural team several years ago. His parents wanted him to participate in an active sport. They feared that if he chose to play baseball, he'd spend too much time standing around waiting to play, and the other sports options just weren't as appealing to them.
They have never regretted their choice. They will enroll their daughter in a lacrosse program when she is old enough to participate.
"We are very proud of him," Suzanne Beck says. "He has his stick in his hands every chance he can. As long as he continues to love the sport, we will continue to encourage him to play."
Andrew Haubner, who has played lacrosse for about 10 years, was attracted to lacrosse because of its strategic, fast-moving nature. He also liked that rough-and-tumble nature of the sport and the skills he would be required to master to excel within the sport's structure.
His mother, Patricia, was thrilled when he announced that he wanted to play lacrosse and enjoys attending games and even the tail-end of practices to watch her son's development.
"Even early on, the boys looked like they had some level of skill," Patricia Haubner recalls. "It's got just enough physical contact to be exciting and appealing to the boys, but for some reason isn't as threatening as football."
Beyond the Playing Field
Lacrosse isn't just for children who want to stay active. It can be a great way to learn more about teamwork, build self-confidence, and meet people. On the field, the athletes are forced to work together and take more leadership responsibilities because coaches can't always call plays from the sidelines. Those who compete on travel teams also have to be willing to make sacrifices, rearrange schedules, and adjust to more demanding athletic requirements. Many coaches believe these skills carry over to the rest of the athletes' lives. Children who are on elite teams will also have teammates from other schools.
"When you're on the road traveling as a group, you develop a distinct bond that transcends beyond the games," Scialdone says. "As the sport continues to grow outside of the northeast and more opportunities open up for youth players across the country, mainstream America will experience the culture that has taken over our area in recent years."

Da Vinci Kolinsky Red Oil Sable Brushes combine great resilience and softness to create a brush that is perfect for spreading color thinly and evenly to achieve fine shades of color and structure.
The Series 1810 Bright is suited for area work with oils. Each brush has a long, maroon polished handle.
In the sun-filled rooms of the
Brush hairs are glued into the ferrule by a dosing machine. Then the ferrule is filled with a modern component-glue. After the drying and curing process, all the hairs are firmly positioned. Da Vinci uses nickel- and gold-plated brass ferrules, which are rust resistant.
Note — Brush sizes are not standardized. The length and width of a brush of a given shape and size varies considerably by manufacturer. Since fine art brushes are hand crafted, expect some variation even among brushes from a given manufacturer.

Kolinsky Sable Brush Shortage
Due to regulatory issues regarding the importation of Kolinsky hair, we are temporarily out of stock on many of our more popular brush styles. Be assured that we are working with our vendors and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to remedy this situation as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience.

Any help on the documentation would most certainly be appreciated.
being a new user of the PTS and testing it actually I would like to contribute to the documentation. How is the maintanance of the documentation organized? Is there a sort of WikiBook that holds the documents?
Any help on the documentation would most certainly be appreciated.
I'm using Arch linux, it would be good if there would be a simple package to download strait from arch linux repository using pacman. Pacman is arch linux package manager like apt-get, downloads and installs stuff. ie:
..would sync the latest downloads and download pts with all it's dependancies. Only thing I notice is that pts, has optional dependancies that might cross conflict with pacman. I don't know how that could be resolved. One of the arch dev's might be able to solve this?Code:pacman -Sy pts
Why you guys have no yet uploaded the logo in wiki or in any phoronix website ?
First, PTS needs translations. Submite a *po file and the suite will be translate in every language in a matter of hours.
The "Subsystem" menu should be independent, no under "View", to be easier like that to choose the filters. Also, the subsystem filters should stay. It's irritating to unselect them evry time you install a test.

Supreme Destiny
Supreme Destiny Overview
Supreme Destiny is actually split into two different games. On the Aden server, it is Supreme Destiny Xtreme, which features a bevy of PvE content to enjoy. Hundreds of quests await you, in addition to an epic storyline. On the other hand, Seraf features Supreme Destiny EvolutionX, which is for players that want a more PvP focused experience. This server has the availability of master classes, a triple experience channel, and massive PvP battles. The two are separate, however, so you can not create a character on one, and expect to transfer to the other.
Four Classes to Choose from. You can choose to play as a Trans Knight – a warrior of the Divine Order. A Foema – the sorcerers of Supreme Destiny. Beast Master – summon animal allies, or take on their form to fight for yourself. And Hunter – well versed in capturing and trade skills.
Mounts. Raise a mount to adulthood and use it to give yourself combat bonuses. There are a variety of mounts to choose from.
Quest System. Complete quest for rewards such as money, items and experience.
Minimal System Requirements. Supreme Destiny has very low system requirements, so players with low-end PCs can enjoy the game.
Dungeons and Special Zones. Travel to dungeons and special areas to fight boss monsters with a chance of dropping special loot.

Supreme Destiny Review
Full Review
By Jordan Hall (ApocaRUFF)
Supreme Destiny is an MMORPG with a fantasy theme developed by Vibrant Games. You are able to choose between two servers, Aden – A PvE-centric server with lots of quest and storylines. Or Seraf – with a PvP focus and large battles. What you experience in the game depends heavily on what server you choose, and if you want to switch you have to start all over as there are no transfers.
I was not happy with the features available in Supreme Destiny. There is nothing new, and a majority of what is offered is done with a minimal effort. One feature that was advertised on their website were "high-quality, detailed graphics" which is just not true. In my opinion, the only feature that is worth mentioning is the minimal system requirements, which makes it possible for lower-end PCs to run the game.
The graphics in Supreme Destiny are sad. I have seen better graphics in games that were available in the 90′s, and it is 2012. Part of the reason for the poor graphics is a max resolution of 1600 by 1200. And you can tell the graphics were not designed for even that large of a resolution, as they appear extra poor when playing with it.
On top of the graphics, there is a poor user interface. It was said that the interface was "easy and simple" on the website, but I could not disagree more. I felt that no thought was put in to the interface at all, as it was difficult to read and use. A prime example of this is the message box which has a completely transparent background, making it near impossible to read the white text of the messages. The user interface is just plain hard to use, and even harder on the eye.
Supreme Destiny has your typical free-to-play MMO control scheme. Click on the ground to move, press I for inventory, C to look at your character statistics. The 1-9 keys are used to activate special abilities in combat. Pressing the K key will put you in to Player Killer mode, which opens you up to PvP against other players. Generally, the game is a bit unresponsive at times. I have had to click on things several times for the game to register that I had clicked them, which was quite annoying.
Customization in Supreme Destiny is hard to find. When you make your character, the only choices you get are your class and your name. You are not even given the ability to choose a gender or hairstyle. When you log in to play, you will find a very limited number of armors and weapons available to you, restricting your ability to customize your character even more. You can choose where you put your statistic and skill points, however. I have played MUDs that offer more in-depth and enjoyable customization than this game.
During my time playing Supreme Destiny, I hardly came across players. And when I did, they usually did not respond to me when I tried speaking to them. This is understandable, as who has time to stop playing a game for some random guy? The game does offer a few features that can encourage community interaction, one of which I will get in to later. The biggest plus in the area of community is the "community button". Pressing this opens up a window that allows you to view, and post on, the forums. This is a handy feature if you want to look up a guide or have a question you wish to post.
I got the feeling that there really was no point to me playing. The game encourages you to actually not play. There is a C.C feature, which I am not sure what the acronym means – possibly Computer Control, which will play your character for you. You press the button and choose some stuff, such as if you want your character to focus on melee or magic, and then sit back as your character fights the endless hordes of monsters.
I will say that I appreciate not being forced to take part in the games boring combat. Combat consist of left clicking on a monster and then watching as your guy auto-attacks it to death. You do have the option of using some ability and skills, but there really is not much point and they are overkill in most cases.
You will level extremely fast in this game. I reached level 20 before I got twenty meters from where I first loaded in to the game. Which is good, as the game offers hundreds of levels. I am not aware of the maximum, but I believe I saw several people in the 240 range. A majority of your level grind will be spent mindlessly (or AFK) killing the hundreds of monsters that clog up each zone.
I saw it mentioned that a variety of quest to add "more fun, excitement and interest" to the game were available. Needless to say, the game did not offer that at all. The quest offered usually consist of, "Kill 15 of X" type goals. This is an out-dated and faulty quest system that is nothing but a time waster and I could gain no enjoyment from it.
Just about everything in the game is automated. From the combat to the trading. I guess the automated trading could be a handy feature, but it just seems to kill the interaction between players that should be happening. Using the cash shop will give you tons of bonuses over players who do not. The game just feels like a big slot machine. You put in money and then sit back and watch, hoping to win.
Final Verdict
The graphics would not have been such a big negative if the game had done better in other areas. Such as the generic gameplay that offers no enjoyment and encourages you to spend money in the cash shop. I mean, you might as well play Progress Quest. At least then you would not be spending your money on a bad game. The only way I can see Supreme Destiny offering anyone fun is if they like sitting back and letting the game play itself. This feature can be handy if you do not have much time to spend on gaming, but still want to play a game. But then again, that brings me back to Progress Quest. Overall, Supreme Destiny is a disappointing game and I do not recommend it.

Saint Kitts and Nevis
About Saint Kitts & Nevis
General Infornation on Saint Kitts and Nevis
Saint Kitts and Nevis, which are of volcanic origin, are separated at their closest point by a 3-kilometer channel. Nevis the smaller of the two has a surface area of 93.2 sq. kilometers (36 sq. miles), while St. Kitts encompasses an area of 176.12 sq. kilometers (68 sq. miles). The islands are particularly vulnerable to hurricanes, and airports and sea ports were damaged due to three major hurricanes, 1996-1999. Communication between the two islands is afforded by a five-minute plane ride or a forty-five-minute ferry ride. Both islands are equipped with special berthing facilities for cruise ships as well as airport facilities, the one in Saint Kitts being international. The islands are however particularly vulnerable to hurricanes and all the aforementioned facilities have sustained considerable damage over the 1996-1999 period when the islands experienced three major hurricanes.
After a period of long colonial rule the twin island state attained full political independence in 1983, with the Federal Parliament in St. Kitts representing the highest level of legislative decision-making. The Independence Constitution of 1983 accords substantial autonomy to Nevis, where a local government, The Nevis Island Administration operates. This body is responsible for the conduct of all domestic affairs, whilst the Federal Government is responsible for Foreign Affairs and matters of National Security.

Estel and the Hobbit
1. Chapter 1
The boy woke up from his nap, blearily blinking sleep from his eyes. His scraggly, long brown hair hung in his face as he slowly sat up.
"Your naneth is preparing for dinner, Estel."
The little boy looked over to see a tall elf sitting by his bed.
"'Ro-ir! Does this mean I 'ave ta take a bath, 'Ro?"
Elrohir laughed. "Yes, Estel. But after your bath, we can go downstairs for dinner and maybe you can meet some very special guests of your Ada's and maybe even hear a story."
That got Estel up and out of bed faster than one of Mirkwood's archers could fire an arrow. He scampered over to his bath and made to jump in.
"Estel, you're still dressed," said Elrohir, trying to hide his laughter.
After his bath, Elrohir managed to get Estel in one of his nicer tunics and a pair of leggings. The child was almost quite literally bouncing off of the walls in excitement.
"'Ro! I wonder if it's a story 'bout a brave knight rescuing a princess! Or 'bout a battle against the bad guys and the good guys won and defeated the bad guys! Ooooohhhh, what if its a story 'bout elves!"
"You live with elves. I'm an elf. Elladan's an elf. Ada's an elf. Everyone in Imladris is an elf."
"No, silly 'Ro, I mean other elves. The cool ones, who have adventures."
Elrohir pretended to be offended. "I'll have you know I go on plenty of adventures! Why, just the other day, I was taking a lovely stroll through the garden, and guess what I saw? I saw a butterfly! A butterfly, Estel! It was quite a startling adventure."
Estel giggled as the two entered the dining hall. Glorfindel spotted the pair and snuck over, picking up the smaller and twirling him around.
"Estel! How's my favourite little man?"
"Gorfy! 'Ro was telling me about his adventures and how the scariest thing he ever saw was a butterfly."
"I did not say that! I just said that I was having a lovely stroll through the garden and-"
"Elrohir! Bring Estel over to his chair. Glorfindel, stop bothering them and sit down."
"Yes, Ada." Elrohir picked up Estel and carried him over to his chair by Gilraen. Glorfindel went to sit by Elrond, looking not at all ashamed to be called out in front of everyone.
"And then 'Ro said that the scariest adventure he's ever been on he was in the gardens and saw a butterfly."
"That's a very funny story, Estel." Gilraen smiled down at her son as he ran into the Hall of Fire to await his promised story.
"I think he'll enjoy this story."
Gilraen turned to look up at Elrond. "This is the story of the Halfling and Mithrandir and those dwarves, isn't it? I just hope it isn't too violent."
"Estel has been exposed to violence before, Gilraen, you know that. But I believe the Halfling knows how to tell a story to children," Elrond said. The two looked over to where Estel was sitting on Glordindel's lap, eagerly listening to the story.
"... then the brave archer took his bow and shot an arrow right into the dragon's chest, and boom! Smaug was dead!"
Little Estel clapped his hands excitedly. "Thank you for the story, Mr. Baggins! It was very good!" he said with a yawn.
Glorfindel picked up the boy. "Come on, it's bedtime. Maybe Mr. Baggins can tell you a story in the morning."
Estel yawned again. "G'night, Mr. Baggins..."
Bilbo watched the little boy be carried away with a faint smile on his face.
Years later, as Bilbo Baggins sat at the Council of Elrond, hearing the Dúnadan be pronounced as the Heir of Isildur, he couldn't help but remember the eager little boy sitting by the fire listening to a story about dragons and dwarves, and he smiled.

John Pizzarelli & The Swing Seven
John Pizzarelli, the world-renowned jazz guitarist and singer, was called "hip with a wink" by Town & Country, "madly creative" by the Los Angeles Times and "the genial genius of the guitar" by The Toronto Star. Son of the legendary guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, New Jersey native John Pizzarelli has become one of the most recognizable faces and voices in contemporary jazz. John Pizzarelli has had a multi-faceted career as a jazz guitarist, vocalist and bandleader, known around the world for the cool jazz flavor he brings to classic standards, late-night ballads, and each of his hugely entertaining live performances and masterful recordings. His most recent CD release, Rockin' In Rhythm, combines the enduring work of Duke Ellington with Pizzarelli's incredible ability to reinterpret the Great American Songbook. Rockin' In Rhythm is the follow up to Pizzarelli's critically-acclaimed 2008 release, With A Song In My Heart – John Pizzarelli Sings the Music of Richard Rodgers, which featured Don Sebesky's Grammy-nominated arrangement of "Johnny One Note." With his active touring schedule, Pizzarelli continues to charm audiences with his warmth, conversational humor, and musical moxie.
