Chef Joey's Vegan Montina Muffins
Recipe by Chef Joey Z.
I discovered a very interesting product at Wild Oats a while ago. It's called Montina Pure Baking Supplement. Its a gluten free, high fiber,protein product. You can check it out at: http://www.amazinggrains.com/ I replaced 1/3 cup of the flour in this recipe with this supplement. This recipe originally called for 2 cups of flour. You could just use flour instead if you prefer. Montina gave the muffins a bit more bulk and the flavor was excellent. I couldn't include it in the ingredients as recipezaar didn't recognize this product. I baked my muffins in a large muffin tin that holds 6 muffins. When the muffins cooled slightly, I coated them with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon. You can also make a glaze out of powdered sugar and water.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 2⁄3 cups flour
- 1⁄2 cup raw sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄2 medium banana
- 3⁄4 cup soymilk
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 4 teaspoons light oil
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Sift the flour, sugar, baking supplement and baking powder in a bowl and set aside.
- Combine the banana, soy milk, lemon extract and oil in the bowl of a mixer and combine until well liquefied.
- Slowly add the flour mixture until blended.
- I found the batter was quite stiff.
- Lightly oil the bottom of the muffin cups and fill each evenly with the batter.
- Bake for about 15 minutes. Test each muffin in the middle with a wooden skewer to make sure they are done.
- Remove after they cool for about 5 minutes, baste with some soy milk and roll the tops in the cinnamon sugar or sugar glaze. You could also make a chocolate glaze that would be great on these.
- These are very filling.
- Bon Appetit!

Logitech Harmony 880 Universal RemoteWorld's best remote
In our ongoing search for the perfect universal remote control, Logitech Harmony has come the closest to that esteemed goal. Its previous models were able to eliminate all those remote controls strewn all over your coffee table, and let you switch between watching TV, watching DVDs and many other activities by pushing just one button. Lets take a look at the top of the Harmony line, the Logitech Harmony 880 ($249), a rechargeable and programmable remote control that sports a small cellphone-like LCD screen.
The programming of the Logitech Harmony line of products is taken out of the remote and put onto your computer, where you teach the remote about your components via a Web-based interface that is both Windows and OS X compatible. The Harmony 880 itself is built in the same shape as its predecessors, a bone-like structure that slightly resembles a figure 8. This design has served Harmony well, because it fits nicely in the hand, albeit not as perfectly as remotes from TiVo.
After extricating the Harmony 880 from its nearly-bulletproof packaging, I placed it on its elegantly-designed charging cradle. The cradle itself as esthetically pleasing, with a glowing blue light serving as a landing pad for the remote. The remote nestles itself onto the cradle with a reassuring click, fitting perfectly without requiring any force whatsoever. Beyond its pleasing design, its an excellent idea to allow this remote to be rechargeable, rather than requiring AA batteries such as the Harmony remote we tested a couple of years ago.
After it had received a full charge, it was time to install the Harmony software, now in version 5.01, on our test computer. The installation went without a hitch, and after plugging the supplied USB cable into the 880, computer and remote shook hands and became familiar with each other immediately. Using a wizard-based interface, the software engaged me in a dialogue which determined which components Id be using with the remote and how they interacted with each other.
Although its a fairly straightforward process to notify the software of your components, its certainly not easy. The software has an odd way of delivering you into a loop, where it asks you what to do next but doesnt give you a choice of programming more activities. After using it for a while, I finally determined that after I had entered a parameter, it was best not to continue following the wizard but just to click Home and start the process again with the next component.
|After you set up your components, the software shows you this screen.
Beyond that, at one point I decided to reset one configuration to its default, when the software blew away all the commands that were available for that device. Not good. Its also a little confusing to find specific operations, but once you wander around this labyrinthine software you start getting the hang of it. The end result is all good, though. Its even able to configure projectors to turn on, even those that require a lengthy button push. It also lets you leave on some components all the time, and turn others off. A major strength of the Harmonys programming routine is the plethora of devices contained in the on-line database. There are tens of thousands of devices included, strengthened by all those who have programmed their devices before you and uploaded their parameters to the Web site. Never again will you have to hunt through tedious secret codes and enter them into your universal remote by trial and error.
By far the biggest benefit of the software is the way you can change the function of every button on the 880 remote. In addition to programming in sequences of commands for particular activities, youre also able to individually control your components. For example, if you want to listen to music and dont need to TV on, you can switch over to your TV and turn it off without affecting anything else.
Once youre done with all the programming, you download the results into the remote via USB. After a couple of hours of serious tinkering, I was able to configure the remote to control all the components in our Midwest Test Facility theater, in addition to being able to conveniently dim the lights. Neat.

It seems like the same scheme that brought down the Nano, but at the end did not return any result at all. Nano then charged extensively by the media as a corrupted and thief, but after the fall from the power, was not raised any proceedings against him, and none of his associates were penalised.
Kavajs' have an expression, for Durrsaks, somewhat racist. They say: "Durrsak stupid work a week and eat a pan." It seems, according to kavajs', durrsaks get full with less, do not require a lot...; this perhaps could be the direct interpretation of the phrase in question.
As a representative of Kavaja for some consecutive terms, Berisha should have heard this phrase, and I believe has now put it in practice. See eg who heads key ministries in the country. Interior minister: Bujar Nishani; Minister of Defense: Gazmend Oketa; Transport Minister: Sokol Olldashi - three Durrsaks.
In an interview several weeks ago, to the German newspaper "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung", Berisha said, "Nexhmie was the mentor of Enver in the last his 15 years of life. She had the real power..."
(Translation 90% - by google) Judges who judged Basha case in the High Court, and decided in unanimity against his criminal proceedings, probably were orinted by the "high". This because, at least 3 by 5 members of the criminal judge in question are not Berisha line, and yet they decided to "favor" of Berisha. This means that "darling" has been given phony, not real. Why, question?
At a party congress or conference of Enver Hoxha's time, some years'80, when Mehmet Shehu had just killed himself, and "hostile group" of his was arrested, Enver Hoxha declared that this group of "enemy" seek to eliminate physically "party leader of the state." As someone from the hall responded loudly: "To take the evil of comrade Enver "..., and Enveri said:" Bravo...".

While there have been on-going speculations that Nokia might reveal its big-ticket phone soon, there's no confirmation on the actual release date or specs for that matter.
This morning, Twitter leaker @evleaks has something new to share with tech world. Popular serial leaker has apparently leaked a roadmap for Nokia's upcoming devices slated for 2014 and 2015. The alleged list includes as many as 10 devices tipped to get launched throughout this year and early next year.
Recommended: Google To Buy Music Streaming App Songza For $15 Million
Nokia has had a rough year, as far its new lineup is concerned. So far the company introduced the Nokia X range, besides the low-end Lumia 630. Not to forget, Nokia also launched the Lumia Icon, a 5-inch FHD handset running on Windows Phone 8.1. Better known as the Lumia 930, the tipster claims this very phone will be the company's flagship for the fiscal year.
Next on the list is said to be a low-end phone, dubbed the Lumia 530. The yet-to-be launched handset will have a 4.3-inch display, a 5-megapixel camera and 8GB of internal memory. The phone will run on Windows Phone 8.1.
Nokia will then introduce two mid-range phones codenamed Superman and Tesla. The former phone, codenamed Super Man, is said to feature a 4.7-inch display and will be Nokia's first handset to come with a 5-megapixel front-facing camera.
We've been hearing a lot about Nokia-made handset codenamed McLaren. At the moment, details are pretty much non-existent.
Besides the high-end McLaren, Nokia will be seen launching four news handsets (Makepeace, Dempsey, Cityman and Talkman). The latter two are expected to be phablets.
There's no information available whether these phones will come to India or not.
Stay tuned to GizBot for more updates!

A nice, thought-provoking piece. It flows well and you've portrayed the characters realistically and efficiently, but there are several spelling mistakes in this piece which interrupt the story for the reader. Your stories would benfit if you took the time to check your work before publishing it. Other than that, a well-written first chapter, I hope you can update it soon :-)

In a fraternity of alpha males, they are the alpha-est.
Alabama's Nick Saban and Ohio State's Urban Meyer, whose teams meet Thursday in the first Allstate Sugar Bowl to also serve as a College Football Playoff semifinal, have risen to the top of their profession — which is coaching college football, in case you didn't know — with a single-minded devotion whose overriding requirement is that everyone in their sphere be of the same mindset.
Think not?
Then, check out Saban during his hour-long media day appearance on Tuesday:
"It's not always being overtly intense or trying to intimidate people. It's more about them having a vision for what they want to accomplish and selling them on the process of what they need to do to accomplish it.
"And if everybody has a similar vision, it's certainly easier to get everybody to buy into what they need to do and the dedication and determination to stick with that on a day to day basis."
Then, guess who said this:
"He taught me the value of having everybody affiliated with the program aligned — saying the same thing, preaching the same message, the culture being totally and completely aligned from assistants to trainers to strength coaches to academics to you-name-if.
"If they have their hands on our players, the culture is aligned and everyone is saying the same message."
A Saban acolyte? No, that's Ohio State offensive coordinator Tom Herman, who was recently named the head coach at Houston, speaking of Meyer.
Herman is the 13th Meyer assistant to become a head coach at a Division I school, a remarkable accomplishment being that this is only Meyer's 13th year as a head coach.
Saban's legacy is somewhat smaller — seven in 19 years, but it includes Jimbo Fisher, his offensive coordinator at LSU whose Florida State Seminoles are facing Oregon in Thursday's other semifinal in the Rose Bowl.
So, it's safe to say their philosophies are spreading.
With good reason.
For Saban and Meyer, getting everyone on board has established a standard of success reminiscent of two of their predecessors — Woody Hayes and Bear Bryant.
When their teams met in the 1978 Sugar Bowl, Hayes and Bryant had won a combined nine national championships (five for Hayes at Ohio State, four for Bryant at Alabama, although he would win two more before retiring following the 1982 season and dying four weeks later).
Saban (four titles, one at LSU and three at Alabama) and Meyer (two titles at Florida) could surpass those totals and at least one will have a shot at it in the Jan. 12 CFP title game, although Saban is 63 (just a year younger than Hayes and Bryant in '78) and Meyer, 50, had to spend the 2011 season away from coaching because of stress-related problems.
And even if they don't, they're the only current active coaches with multiple championships who just happen to be at two of the handful of schools with the resources and fan support to give them a legitimate chance for another almost every season.
It's a club they're not exactly inviting others to join either.
On Tuesday, while Meyer was speaking during the Buckeyes' media day period in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, Jim Harbaugh was being introduced as the new coach at Michigan, a headline-stealing coincidence if there ever was one.
But Saban and Meyer made only perfunctory congratulatory statements.
"I know he'll do a really good job there," — Saban.
"I don't know Jim, but anytime you add a quality coach to the Big Ten, obviously it's good for college football and the Big Ten." — Meyer.
Thus beginneth another 10-year war between the Buckeyes and the Wolverines, although one website's headline on the hiring said, "In Harbaugh, Michigan hopes to find another Saban."
Ouch! Shouldn't Michigan fans just hope that their guy becomes another Meyer first?
That won't be easy.
Meyer's 140-26 record is the best among all active FBS coaches with at least 10 years of experience. His "worst" record is 8-4.
In three seasons at Ohio State he's 36-3, including a 24-0 mark in Big Ten regular-season games.
Saban's record is 177-58-1. 91-16 at Alabama.
But he can claim culture change at LSU before restoring Alabama's glory. If not for the freakish 109-yard missed field goal return in last season's Auburn game, the Tide could be contending for its fourth title in the last five years.
Saban has raised the standard of success in the SEC (Just ask LSU fans how great the last few seasons have been) to a level that has everyone else in the league starting in second place.
Similarly, Meyer brought culture change to the staid Big Ten, introducing an emphasis on speed and a competiveness in recruiting that has disrupted what had been a gentlemen's agreement not to pilfer each other's commitments.
"Coach Meyer is a very intense guy," said senior linebacker Curtis Grant, who began his career at Ohio State when the highly-successful but professorial Jim Tressel was the coach.
"And the way he recruits has created tremendous competition inside each (position) room each day.
"The guys he's signed are coming in eager to play and ready to play. That gets you ready for game day."
Meyer's laser intensity did drive him from coaching for a year.
But he said it has made him more appreciative of what he does.
"It's about the 'Why,' " he said. "The 'Why' of how you get into coaching.
"You don't want lose focus, but you also don't want to get so hard-drive that you forget the 'Why.' There's a human element involved."
And in an image-shattering development, Saban actually seems to have mellowed as he approaches senior citizenship, talking less about what happens on the field mattering and more about what happens off it.
"I think as head coach, probably the greatest thing that's changed is just an overall understanding of human behavior and how people react off it," Saban said.
Not that they don't want to win Thursday with every fiber of their being.
Twice before, they've met in similar circumstances — in the 2008 and 2009 SEC Championship games that were de facto BCS semifinals.
Meyer's Gators took the first, and Saban's Tide the second, with both winners going on to win the national championship.
"It's a very competitive environment right now in all leagues," Meyer said. "And this playoff is just a perfect example.
"I can't imagine the interest level being any greater in any sport than college football. So there's no doubt this is big for us, for Alabama and for college football."
Get it on, alpha dogs.

We are glad you are considering becoming part of the diverse community at Trinity Christian College! A Trinity education is a life changing experience that will challenge you academically, enrich you spiritually, and equip you for your future career and calling.
Chicago Provides Unique "Classroom" for Students: Photogallery
ChicagoQuest is a four-week residential experience offered every summer for academically-motivated high school seniors and for incoming Trinity freshmen. Students live and study in the global city of Chicago and explore the many opportunities for learning, serving, and experiencing culture.
Students earn three college credits in either Art and World Religions or American and Western Civilization. Classroom learning is reinforced through visits to area museums and galleries, such as the Illinois Holocaust Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago.
Growing spiritually happened in this community as students shared devotions, prayed, worshipped, and served together. This year's service project at the Greater Chicago Food Depository built camaraderie among the students as they worked alongside hundreds of others to prepare registration packs for participants in the local Hunger Walk.
Vice President for Student Development Ginny Carpenter serves as the program's director. She and her husband Jeff, program coordinator, worked with this year's resident assistant, Jess Timmermans '14 of Palos Heights, Illinois, to ensure an exceptional residential experience for participants.
"The key to ChicagoQuest is the broad experience students get as individuals while at the same time sharing the experience," said Carpenter. "Students are most surprised by the relationships they form and the realization of self-sufficiency."
Students enjoyed the autonomy of choosing how they spent their free time, whether doing homework, hopping a train to Chinatown, hanging out at the beach, or simply gathering together in their common residence to talk.
Carpenter said that even students from Chicago and the surrounding suburbs get to know the city in a way they probably haven't experienced.
Participant and incoming Trinity freshman Luke Martin of Chicago, said, "ChicagoQuest was a lot of fun. Living and learning in the city was a great way to start my college experience."

Set up by two entrepreneurs David Hughes and Eric Martin, Sheraton started making made to measure blinds for the trade market in London and the South East. The business has developed to supply the mid to premium trade and retail market in the UK. In recent years Sheraton has developed a specialism providing products and services to retail multiples who require tight turnarounds and a specified quality product and service.
Type of Work:
Design, Drupal
Apache Solr, Custom Drupal Modules, Drupal, Drupal Commerce, HTML5, Responsive Web Design
Launch year:
The Brief:
Sheraton Blinds approached us with a brief of requiring a website that could do three things; offer a corporate face to the business, provide a B2B mechanism to allow for existing retail customers to track orders for their customers, and to also sell blinds directly to consumers.
The Solution:
With the three distinct elements to the project (corporate website, business portal & consumer website), it made sense to break the project down and to invest some time in better understanding each areas requirements before making any recommendations. After doing this, it was clear that it made sense to couple the corporate website and business portal together in the first phase of the project, and then to follow up with the consumer website as a phase 2. Our technology recommendation was Drupal 7 for the corporate website and business portal, as it possessed the CMS features required by the corporate website, and the advanced role and data management needed for the business portal. We recommended a Drupal Commerce implementation for the consumer website as it is one of the few e-commerce options available that is capable of dealing with the sheer volume of possible product combinations. Corporate Website
- Showcase products
- Provide company information
- Attract new leads
- Usage of the Feeds module to take a live CSV feed of order data, and then update the site at a frequency of once every 5 minutes
- Ability to search on, and filter order data by various field types
- Reporting using a jQuery graph library
- Exportable reports that can be downloaded into CSV or MS Excel formats
- 4 different levels of user role type, with each level allowed to see progressively more information
- Used on a daily basis by a major high-street retailer

THE ENVIRONMENT; Forests Sought to Counter Greenhouse Effect
By WALTER SULLIVAN
Published: September 20, 1988
VIRTUALLY all the carbon dioxide emitted by power plants to be built in the next decade could be absorbed by 10 million acres of new forest, according to the Environmental Defense Fund. The organization has proposed that such planting be undertaken by the Federal Conservation Reserve Program, a project of the Department of Agriculture.
The trees would absorb as much carbon dioxide as would be produced by the burning of fossil fuels in the power plants. The gas collects in the atmosphere, where it traps heat like the glass in a greenhouse. Many scientists believe this ''greenhouse effect'' is contributing to global warming.
Daniel J. Dudek, author of the proposal, described it yesterday to the Senate Energy Committee, which began two days of hearings on the role of forests in controlling carbon dioxide in the air.
Discussing the role of trees in soaking up and storing carbon dioxide, Senator Timothy E. Wirth, the Colorado Democrat who is chairman of the committee, said yesterday that about 27 million acres of tropical rain forests are being destroyed each year. Combustion or rotting of this forest material puts even more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
The Conservation Reserve Program encourages farmers to rent cropland to the Government for 10 years. The land is then planted in trees and other noncrop vegetation. Land particularly susceptible to erosion is chosen and the program is also designed to reduce overproduction of crops.
Under the proposal, the annual Government compensation would be substantially increased by funds assessed from utilities building new power plants. This assessment would encourage utilities to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels.
Mr. Dudek said it was originally hoped, under the Conservation Reserve Program, that by 1990 farmers would have rented to the Government 40 million to 45 million acres from the 469 acres now producing crops. Less than one quarter of this goal has been achieved, he reported.
Furthermore, his report said, while Congress proposed that 12.5 percent of the replanted acreage be in forests, less than one-third of that amount has been planted in trees.
Replanting 10 million acres as forest would cost $1 billion to $2 billion, Mr. Dudek said, but it would still be ''the most cost-effective option'' to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Orhan Ayyüce 2017-07-05T15:13:00-04:00 >2017-07-06T18:47:33-04:00
For decades, authoritarian regimes have waged war on modern architecture and the philosophy it embodies. A new ad proves it's still a target.

 In an alarmingly threatening and dangerous ad, NRA attacks intellectualism (in its core sense) via modern architecture. This savage ad might not only target your profession and/or your education but also puts the average citizen in front of the barrel of a gun.

 https://archinect.com/news/article/149961512/designing-around-gun-violence Designing around gun violence Nicholas Korody 2016-08-04T12:48:00-04:00 >2016-08-04T12:48:37-04:00
Our culture of fear has changed the role of architecture in the United States. In just 2016 alone, the country has seen 221 mass shootings, and we struggle to keep up with the stream of international terrorism attacks by groups like ISIS and Boko Haram. If you listen to the news for too long, every building we enter seems compromised, from malls and movie theaters to schools.

So while legislators falter over gun control laws, architects and building designers are working to rethink the concept of a safe space.

A new Texas state law going into effect on August 1 (exactly 50 years after the clocktower shootings at UT-Austin, by student and ex-marine Charles Whitman) will allow concealed handguns to be brought into public university campus buildings. This isn't sitting well with many members of the public university system, as educators and administrators are now tasked with regulating the presence of guns inside studios and classrooms, and fear that such a law will scare people away from the school (not to mention the obvious safety concerns).

Dean of the architecture school at UT-Austin, Frederick "Fritz" Steiner, has been critical of the law from its inception, and faced with having to enforce it as campus policy, was prompted to leave the school for the deanship at PennDesign.

While not the sole reason for his resignation, Steiner is adamant that such a law is simply not good for architecture education and studio culture, and joins us on the podcast to discuss.

Dungeonland PC
- Publisher: Paradox Interactive
- Release Date: Jan 29, 2013
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Feb 12, 2013Despite these minor criticisms, the game is brilliant. Having played it both with friends and alone, it is obvious that this game is -supposed- to be played with friends. When playing alone, it feels a bit repetitive, but when you add two friends screaming commands in your ear and a third one laughing manically as he plots your demise, this game is pure candy. If you enjoy playing this kind of game with friends, you will love Dungeonland. If you are a friendless loner, however, you might want to give it a miss.
Feb 6, 2013It's infuriating that the adventure feels so rough around the edges, then, but a range of annoyances are not quite enough to detract from the madcap brilliance at the core of the whole thing.
Feb 4, 2013Despite a few issues I have with the game, most notably the idea of grinding a bit too often early on, this game is a steal at $9.99. If you see it on a sale and remotely enjoy ARPGs, you need to pick this up immediately.
Feb 3, 2013In the end, Dungeonland is light on content and features, but that's okay because it's an absolute steal for $9.99. Players will get a hell of a little dungeon crawler that can provide hours and hours of entertainment, so long as they have friends to partake in the silliness.
Mar 14, 2013Dungeonland is ultimately pointless when it comes down to it. Yet it is the good kind of pointless, the kind that still produces entertainment with friends and fills a void. Dungeonland knows it does not amount to much, in fact it revels in it, wilfully mocking itself throughout.
Mar 12, 2013Dungeonland is nowhere close to perfect, but in multiplayer it's a brilliant bastard of a game. Just add friends – or enemies.
Hyper MagazineMar 12, 2013Some excellent ideas and multiplayer fun but not enough content as yet. [Apr 2013, p.76]
Mar 5, 2013All in all, a fantastic effort from Critical Studio that reaches a climax when you've got three friends fighting against the toughest and most numerous hordes. If only it wasn't for that damn AI.
Feb 16, 2013Dungeonland does not try to go beyond its limits, rather it shows that true multiplayer with friends it's as enjoyable as ever. Glitches and poor quantity apart, in the end it manages to keep its dignity.
Feb 6, 2013Dungeonland is a pretty standard dungeon hack-and-slasher, but is still an original game. You can also play as an evil Dungeon Master and cause mayhem and death amongst the players. Forget the insanely unbalanced singleplayer mode, Dungeonland gets really fun when playing with others.
CD-ActionApr 5, 2013The game's testers deserve having their butts kicked more than the creatures of Dungeonland. [CD-Action 04/2013, p.81]
Feb 12, 2013Despite its low price, Dungeonland s a repetitive hack 'n' slash, with a really poor gameplay and not so many customization options. The Dungeon Master Mode saves the whole game from a failure.
Feb 18, 2013Not a particularly tedious action game with hack 'n' slash principles will seize you with its randomly-generated locations, wit, challenge and unusual low price. Afterwards, however, the game will disappoint you with its mechanics and ton of bugs.
Feb 7, 2013Unfortunately, playing solo is not that fun. Without friends, you're supported in your party by bots, who are mindless and quite incompetent. It becomes even more challenging to get through levels, and without the aspect of teamwork, the whole experience is just dull and not very enjoyable.
Feb 5, 2013In theory this theme park could be the source of never-ending fun. But in the end it is rather never-ending grind. Nonetheless you can experience some entertaining half hours or so if you have friends on standby for your support.
Feb 14, 2013Dungeonland just isn't fun. Despite its great art style and goofy sense of humor, the mediocre gameplay gets easily buried beneath a grueling difficulty and a slew of glitches.
Feb 8, 2013Dungeonland could have done with a good couple more months in the oven.

Jan 29, 2013This is one of the most fun and challenging games Iv played in years.The game is abound an evil Dungeon Master who runs an amusement park forThis is one of the most fun and challenging games Iv played in years.The game is abound an evil Dungeon Master who runs an amusement park for heros. The developers advertised it a silly and fun multiplier experience and that is exactly what you get. I would go so far as to call this the Mario Party of PC games. That being said, just like Mario Party you are not going to have even half as much fun playing this single player as you would playing with friends. Its clear this game was designed for multiplier and the single player is just a tacked on feature.
The difficulty of this game is borderlines Hotline Miami level. You take a TON of damage if you get hit, and you die extremely fast. Even on very easy mode. If you do not like hard videogames this is one to avoid. That being said the game has a high skill ceiling and is extremely satisfying to play. Especially when you and your friends all work together and combo ability's to take down the extremely difficult boss monsters. If you are looking for an Epic Narrative with Character growth and a massive RPG world to explore your going to be extremely disappointed because none of that was advertised to began with. The story is extremely bland but its forgivable because of the nature of this game. To continue the Mario Party analogy, No one plays Mario Party for the story. They play it to have fun with friends and occasionally screw them over. The game runs flawlessly on Max settings my 4 year old Laptop though I did experience a few non game breaking bugs, stuff like monsters occasionally running into walls, or spawning but not attacking. But these bugs were rare and not that big an issue. Overall 9/10. -1 for bugs and single player.… Full Review »

Hudson -- Ever wonder what makes the city of Hudson great?
Jeffrey Lehman, owner of Great Clips of Hudson, has wondered.
And, in order to find the answer, Lehman is sponsoring the first "What Makes us Great" program, which he hopes will become an ongoing Hudson tradition.
"We decided to create this important program for several reasons," Lehman said. "First, when we created our company - The 220 Group, Ltd - in 2007, we actually incorporated service into our company's mission statement. Specifically our mission statement calls on us to give back to the community we are privileged to serve. So it's in our DNA and we think it's important for many reasons... certainly giving back and being charitable is the right thing to do."
Lehman also called helping the community "personal medicine, helping us, our employees and clients to feel better every day."
"Second - we are a very fortunate family and have much to be thankful for," Lehman said. "We think the entire Hudson Community is great... especially this year."
Earlier this year the community rallied around Lehman's son, Jack, after a long hospital stay.
"Our son Jack was very sick for a very long time - we weren't certain he would live or ever come home, but thankfully he did and he has," Lehman said. "But the outpouring of support we received from so many organizations and groups in the community - church, neighbors, school just to name a few - was so tremendous, we just had to do something special to thank the entire community."
Every group has a story to tell about its importance, what it does, and why it's great, Lehman said.
"So we are now asking anyone in Hudson from any Hudson based group - your book club, garden club, scout troop, little league team, religious organization, second grade class room,...anyone - to simply tell us what makes your group/us great," he said.
Essays must be submitted in 250 words or less, describing what the writer does and why he or she thinks the subject is great.
The contest will run every three months, with the first period Oct. 1 through the end of December.
"Simply drop off your submission to Great Clips of Hudson, located in the Acme Plaza, next to Panera, anytime during our regular hours," Lehman said. "Each quarter Great Clips of Hudson and a panel of independent Hudson- based judges will select a winner and Great Clips of Hudson will award that group $250."
Submissions can be made during each calendar quarter, Lehman said.
"Every day we hear stories about a great group doing wonderful things in the Hudson community, some get recognized, others not as much," Lehman said. "This is their chance to tell others the great things that go on everyday - sometimes without being noticed."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/9/2013 (1446 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
If I've learned anything from the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival, it's to approach shows billed as "sexy romps" with a healthy amount of caution. It's been my experience that when they're good, they're great; when they're bad, they're really, really bad. Cringingly bad.
Musical comedy 50 Shades!: The Musical is indeed a fringe show writ large -- it did make its debut at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, after all -- and is no exception to that rule. While it was never cringingly bad, its groaners often outnumbered its glimmers of brilliance.
The premise is strong enough: a ladies book club -- played in Winnipeg by Meghan Murphy, Sheila O'Connor and Glennis McCarthy -- decides to make the soft-porn novel that is E L James' bestselling 50 Shades of Grey its book of the month. Through a collage of sketch comedy and double-entendre-filled song-and-dance numbers with such subtle titles as There's a Hole Inside of Me and I Don't Make Love, I F*#@, the show gleefully skewers the book while gently poking fun at the Chardonnay-swilling housewives who love it.
Baby Wants Candy, the Chicago-based troupe behind the musical, successfully established mutually agreed-upon understanding with the audience that, while the book is stupid and terrible, the ladies who read it are not. The show laughs with the ladies (and the seven men in the audience), not at them.
And laugh they did. Opening night had the vibe of a mildly raunchy bachelorette party.
So it's a romp -- but is it sexy? Meh.
Let's be clear: there was sex -- lots of it -- but exactly none of it was sexy. The BDSM was slapstick and over-the-top, displaying the deft physical comedic talents of its estimable leads: Amber Petty, who played wide-eyed Anastasia Steele; and Chris Grace, who played kinky tycoon Christian Grey.
Petty, in particular, did an excellent job satirizing her buttoned-up, virginal character, playing up her awkward, golly-gee charm. A scene in which she attempts to dance at a club where everyone is bumping and grinding around her was one of the show's funniest moments. Her timing extended to her delivery, as well. "Hahaha, I don't know what jokes are!" she blurts out after her first meeting with Grey. She was great in the role, and had one of the best singing voices in the cast.
Grace, meanwhile, represented a flip in the cultural script. Instead of a ripped hunk, Christian Grey was a pudgy, Asian-American man. Grace played his pot-belly for laughs with the same uninhibited gusto as Will Ferrell. But it actually would have been more subversive if Grace had chosen to play it straight and not acknowledge his un-Greyesque body at all, rather than reinforcing the rather tired notion that a fat body can only be a comedic body, not a sexy body.
The women of the book club also turned out powerhouse performances within their somewhat limited roles. They weren't cartoony, they were relatable; many in the audience likely saw themselves in these women.
As far as musicals go, this wasn't exactly smutty Gilbert & Sullivan. Every number was one chorus too long and the tunes weren't that memorable, save for a lively number describing Grey's "Red Room of Pain" that shoehorned in every dirty word you can think of. The songs were also responsible for the bulk of the show's most embarrassingly bad one-liners, including one tasteless date-rape joke that attempted to rhyme "aloof" with "roofie."
In a show of almosts but not quites, 50 Shades!: The Musical shone in its most winking, self-aware moments -- like when Anastasia says, "This is real life, not a book. If it were, it'd be terrible!"
A better balance of brains and bawdy would have made for a more satisfying -- and sexy -- romp.

But his mother, Tatyana, wouldn't let that happen, so she took him to Moscow, where a special witch doctor promised to help him live. But, what his mother didn't know was that the witch doctor was actually creating a villain to fight the superheroes in the world. After the witch doctor supposedly healed him, he took him from his mother, and gave him to a supervillain by the name of Supersonic Eyes. Supersonic Eyes could tell that this little baby would become one of the most powerful villain's ever. When The Human Disquise was old enough to learn how to use his powers the Supersonic Eyes trained him. But, Supersonic Eyes could detect The Human Disquise no matter what form he took. So, every time that they sparred against each other, The Human Disquise was beaten brutally.
Later Years
During the later years in his life, The Human Disquise and his master took on a superhero strike team sent to eliminate the villains. Once The Human Disquise and the Supersonic Eyes arrived at where they thought that the heroes would be, the heroes had already arrived. The Supersonic Eyes had no way to escape the onslaught of five heroes against him, and re was knocked out cold. But before he was knocked out cold, he told The Human Disquise to retreat back to their hideout and stay there. The Human Disquise obeyed and left his master to the Heroes. No heroes followed The Human Disquise back to his hideout.
Supersonic Eyes
For the next year The Human Disquise searched around for another villain but found none, so he stayed in hiding. But then, one and a half years after his masters capture he started his treachery again. And on year two after his masters capture he spotted his master again. He followed what he thought was his master, all the way to America, where he ran into a building in Los Angeles. But, when he entered, he did not find his master welcoming him, but attackin him. The Supersonic Eyes had attacked The Human Disquise and knocked him on the ground, then Supersonic Eyes had told him of how he had been redeamed by the heroes. But, the Human Disquise broke loose from his grip and flew away. Never would he see his master again, because The Human Disquise attached four packs of C4 to the building and detonated it, wounding his master but not killing him.
The Final Fight
The Human Disquise had one day been in a Volgograd restraunt when he saw what he thought to be a hero by the name of Spiderman. So, The Human Disquise disquised himself as a common person of Russia, and made his way to him. But, before he could get there Spiderman swung out the window sill. The Human Disquise followed and was hit on the head by Spiderman. He then used a special power spiderman never thought he had, he used his flaming ability to break through Spiderman's webbing. He then flew away into the night, but was struck down by the Human Torch, who threw him into the water, which killed him.

The AMP2-D8DA monitor is the world's first 2RU in-rack audio monitor capable of outputting and/or displaying encoded, multi-channel (up to 8 channels) of audio from Dolby Digital streams decoded from AES. The ability to switch seamlessly between encoded or discrete PCM sources, in addition to providing full, simultaneous demuxed output of the multi-channel source offers a significant new operational capability.
These units are ideal for use in VTR bays, mobile production vehicles, teleconferencing installations, multimedia systems, satellite links, cable TV facilities, and on-air radio studios. Extended HF response reveals potential problems with audio whine or hiss, and electronic rather than acoustic cancellation of bass frequencies provides positive audible detection of reversed polarity audio feeds. The sleek design provides optimally focused sound for operators in an ultra near field environment (1 to 3 feet) with performance comparable to that of many separate monitor pairs without installation hassles and awkward speaker placements. This enables a higher SPL for the operator while reducing overall ambient sound and adjacent bay crosstalk.

Rachael Faraday is the daughter of Lumi Faraday. She's a powerful psychic and a genius in her own right, following in her mother's footsteps. Although she exercises her powers, she's no fighter, not anymore.
Rachael is a very unassuming girl. She has shoulder length, blonde, wavy hair, and like her mother, purple eyes- although she covers her eyes with special contacts, to avoid being found.
She usually wears plain clothing, and can often be found wearing the grey school uniform of the small school she goes to on the Faraday Isles, one which just has a different uniform from the others.
Rachael is fairly quiet, a little shy, and a studious girl. Her work-play balance swings a bit too much to work, and it interferes with her social life as much as her shyness and social standing. Lumi often tells her to make friends, but she finds it difficult to.
Rachael is a very hard worker, and will happily help others if asked to help, which often leaves her doing the duties in the classroom at the end of the day more than anybody else, in fact, it's left to her all the time. She enjoys the time alone to think though.
She often displays a level of intelligence greater than that of both Alber Eichmann and Victoria Charters, and can almost match the intellectual might of Lumi, Eadda, Marcella, and Mai.
Rachael often feels lonely. After an event in her past caused her life to dramatically change, a change even Lumi couldn't stop, she disappeared from the public eyes, and started her public life under a new name, never allowing herself to be seen publically with Lumi.
She keeps the fact she is Lumi's daughter a secret, as well as her past, as if she was found out, she would have to deal with that pain again.
Rachael gets on really well with her friends in high school, and elderly folk around the city. She always helps them, though usually gets left to do the after-school tasks, and enjoys helping the teachers.
Rachael isn't one of the Elite Seven because she never fights. She's just not the fighting type, even though she trains her powers more than anybody at home. She wants to know as much about her powers and psionics as she can, so she can help others, especially those suffering from Michelle Syndrome.
Because of her training and powers though, she could take any of the Elite Seven in a fight. This became evident when Alber was following her one day. Rachael completely bypassed his mental shield, and removed her presence from his mind and powers completely until she was far away.
At a time Lumi has finished her compilation of psionics, had put together many arguments and presentations for it, and was close to mastering her powers, she became bored, and felt that, after the everything she's done, even her drive to find Michelle wasn't enough. Eadda suggested something crazy to her, after Lumi spoke to her of her boredom.
Eadda suggested to Lumi to have a child, somebody to take care of, and to think of constantly. There was her search for her sister, the search for a cure of Michelle Syndrome, there was her Faraday Isles and Psychic School to run, but Lumi could do all of these things without too much trouble. A child would be something different entirely- an emotional connection in the present.
Lumi thought about it, and agreed.
"How can I take care of an island full of kids, without knowing what it's like to take care of one?" Lumi mused.
But Lumi couldn't be bothered with the usual child-making process, claiming it was too long, and too much of a bother. So, using her powers, she created Rachael, but to make her not a clone, added addition genetic information to her. Lumi made herself pregnant, and gave birth to Rachael the usual time later.
Lumi actually found it difficult to raise her at first, it was something of a challenge. Though, help from Eadda, she managed just fine. Lumi began to understand what her own parents went through for the first time in her life, as she was being told of Rachael reading minds carelessly, and having to tell her off about it.
Eadda had seen many forms of love from Lumi- the love of a daughter, the love of a sister, the love of a friend, the love of a ruler, and the love of a teacher, but now she was seeing something in Lumi she had never seen before, the love of a parent. Lumi grew to understand children, and felt more confident than ever about her Faraday Isles.
Rachael enjoyed reading from a very young age, and enjoyed playing games with Lumi and Eadda. She always lost, but it made her think so hard, her intelligence grew quickly.
When Rachael was 5, Lumi began to teach her the workings of psionics at a basic level, and showed her how to use her own powers. Rachael struggled at first, but quickly got the hang of it. Rachael possessed the rare power to sense the mental attributes of others, a power Lumi herself grew up with. After this, Rachael found she could control the workings of psionics and brains.
With Eadda's help, Lumi became a great mother. Though, Lumi's own personality did get in the way at times- her habit of spending unearthly hours in a lab when onto something, her random behaviour, and her depression, often lead to difficult moments which Rachael couldn't understand. It was a times like these, Eadda would take care of her. Eadda, using her time manipulation, loved playing tricks on Rachael, and even spent a lot of time training her.
Rachael one day, saw through Eadda's power. She didn't beat her trick, but understood it. Rachael's insight was incredible, and the accuracy of the powers was equally as great.
Rachael's powers were all based around the workings of psionics, the mind, and brain it seemed, a very powerful set of abilities, Lumi thought to herself. Rachael was a young bundle of energy, and from a young age loved psionics, and loved training with Lumi. She was extremely skilled, especially after being put through Lumi's harsh training from the age of 4. Rachael entered the regional Psionic Combat tournament, and won it at the age of seven- she was amazing.
She kept winning match after match, tournament after tournamet. Her skill and pwoer was undeniable. By the time she was nine, she had ploughed through the junior tournaments, winning a plethera of trophies and medals, and had won the Junior Psionics World Championship (JPWC) twice. People began to say it was unfair however, before she entered JPWC the seond time, calling her too good for her age, some even saying she was too good because she was a Faraday...
"That smug-ass bitch of a kid is ruining the sport! Kick her out!"
"She's a f***ing Faraday! It's unfair, get her out the juniors!"
"HA! I hope she actually DOES break a leg in one of her matches!"
"She crushed my son's dream! Ban her!"
"I don't care if she's a kid, she should know better after so many matches! I'd vote to ban her!"
"Screw you brat! I hope you die! Stop killing my fun!"
"If you don't pull out I'll kill you!"
Rachael faced comments like this in newspapers, on the news, in letters sent to her, on social media, and in forums... It was painful to face. She was only following her dream but it seemed nobody but those closest to her were happy about it. Rachael kept fighting though, hoping it would blow over, but the more she appeared, the worse it got. Early on in her nineth year, she moved out of he junior league, hoping it would quell the anger.
Lumi fought publically against these claims, defending Rachael day after day, but it was no use, the PWC fans wouldn't be swayed. Even some of the PWC commitee stayed quiet. Again, she won every match through her personal skill she developed, but it was no good, as she did was fan the flames, proving that because she was a Faraday, she was just naturally too good... She once again won not only the JPWC but the WPC when she was nine.
Rachael spent many nights crying when she was ten. The comments that were thrown at her were too painful too look at now, but her love of Psionics was too great, and she kept fighting, ans kept winning.
During her third match at the WPC when she was ten, her opponent was taunting her, insulting her and Lumi, and generally being unpleasant. Rachael was getting emotional, after her opponent said something very unpleasant about Lumi, Rachael hit them with an attack...
But it was too powerful...
Rachael's attack broke thorugh the shielding easily, and hit her opponent. She broke their ribs, burst their lung, and sent them flying with force across the stadium. Rachael immediate knew what she had done. The match was quickly called off, and Marcella pulled Rachael out of the ring. Rachael was distraught for the longest time, in fact, she was pale and silent until the moment she heard her opponent survive.
It was an accident, an honest accident. But it was no use, the damage was done. Rachael was hounded on line never before, to the point she couldn't she her face in public for being called an attempted murderer.
One day, Rachael was in tears, and Lumi comforted her. There was nothing Lumi could do now, not without erasing Rachael's history completely... And there was no way Rachael could do anything to change it around. Rachael and Lumi agreed on a plan- a difficult one, but the only way they could handle things. Rachael then disappeared from the publi eye, and Lumi started the rumor she had left to live with relatives abroad. Though when confronted about it in an interview, Lumi just says "she's living a happy life."
Rachael though, had actually reentered into the Faraday Isles and Psychic School under a different name- Maia Shelton, with a history falsified by Lumi herself. With Lumi's power, they could still do everything they did together, it wouldn't affect Rachael's relationship with Lumi, Eadda, and Marcella at all, they just couldn't be seen together in public. Rachael grew her hair out from how short she had it, and got special contacts from Lumi to change the purple of her eyes.
Rachael, under the alias of Maia, now attends a small, privately run High School, one which ran by a friend of Lumi. It's an experimental school, to see if lower student numbers and closer student-teacher relations actually helps academic, and general performance. She gets on well there, and although she has become shy, she's made friends, good ones. She gets on well with the elderly folk in town, and likes to help anybody she can, to make up for almost taking somebodies life away.
When not going out with her friends, Rachael often does the after school tasks in the classroom and helps the teachers. She likes the quiet at the end of the day to think, but can't help feeling lonely. She always joins Lumi, Eadda, Marcella and Mai in their weekly gaming nights. She never wins, but puts up a really good fight. Rachael spends some night of the week sharing a bed with her mother, to stave off the loneliness. She spends weekends generally on her own, reading in libraries, or in the museums.
She had only ever confided her true identify with her closest and best friend, Amy Haywood, having given her a powerful, impassable psychic shield. Recently, two of her friends, including Amy, and three others, at her school are looking to start and participate in Psychic Combat. She hopes they do well, but Amy realises that it's painful for Rachael to even think about it.
- "...I'm not Maia, Amy... I... I'm not sure how to say this... My... My actual name is Rachael Faraday... "
- ― Rachael to Amy.
Being the daughter of Lumi Faraday, it's safe to say Rachael has some mighty power. In fact, her own powers relate to the working of the mind and psionics. On top of this, she has enhanced intelligence and a psychic shield herself.
To go into further detail about her powers. Rachaels powers are related to the very workings of the mind and psionics. She can actually affect someone's mind and powers directly- no saves, no resistance (unless you're powerful enough yourself). To start off with, she can sense the attributes of your brain and mind, and discover the statistics, function, workings and flaws of your mind and powers in an instant. Then, she can control you brain, and on top of that, psychic energy, psychics waves, and psychic elements.
If that wasn't enough, she can create and manipulate mental shields, allowing her to bypass your defense with ease, and then she can use her telepathy without resistance, and even falsify psionic information. She also inherited, telekinesis and teleportation from Lumi.
- Brain Manipulation
- Mental Attribute Sense
- Mental Shield Manipulation
- Psionic Detection
- Psychic Energy Manipulation
- Psychic Element Manipulation
- Psychic Falsification
- Psychic Wave Manipulation
- Telekinesis
- Telepathy
- Teleportation
Lumi trained Rachael in the art of Kuka-mahken, an incredibly difficult fighting style originating from Psychena. She managed to get a hang of it just around when she turned nine, and quickly learnt to use it effectively from then.

Mount Melleray Abbey is a Cistercian monastery in Ireland, founded in 1833. It is situated on the slopes of the Knockmealdown Mountains, near Cappoquin, Diocese of Waterford.
Father Vincent Ryan was chosen leader of the religious sent by Dom Antoine, Abbot of Melleray, for this foundation. After many efforts to locate his community he accepted the offer of Sir Richard Keane, of Cappoquin, to rent a tract of barren mountain waste, some five hundred acres, subsequently increased to seven hundred. In the work of reclaiming the soil, they were assisted by the country folk.
In 1833 the corner-stone was laid by Sir Richard Keane, in the presence of the bishop and a large concourse of clergy and people. In 1835 the monastery was created an abbey, and Father Vincent, unanimously elected, received the abbatial blessing from Dr. Abraham, bishop of the diocese, this being the first abbatial blessing in Ireland since the Protestant Reformation. Abbot Vincent vigorously undertook the work of completing the abbey, but died 9 December, 1845.
His successor, Dom M. Joseph Ryan, resigned after two years. To Don Bruno Fitzpatrick, who succeeded as abbot in September, 1848, it remained to consolidate. He founded, in 1849, New Melleray Abbey, near Dubuque, Iowa, U.S.A., and, in 1878, Mount Saint Joseph Abbey, Roscrea, Co. Tipperary, Ireland. He also founded the Ecclesiastical Seminary of Mount Melleray. Originating in a small school formed by Abbot Vincent in 1843, it was developed by Abbot Bruno and his successors. Abbot Bruno died 4 December, 1893, and was succeeded by Dom Carthage Delaney, who was blessed 15 January, 1894, and presided over Mount Melleray for thirteen years; his successor was Dom Maurus Phelan, solemnly blessed by Dr. Sheahan, Bishop of Waterford, 15 August, 1908.
