ANDY IHNATKO: Microsoft Surface Pro review: Great tablet PC, but needs apps

The new Microsoft Surface tablet

Updated: February 6, 2013 1:31PM
Why is Microsoft itching to produce its own PCs, all of a sudden?
We were all left to ponder that mystery, after the company announced Surface. Why wouldn't it just partner with ASUS (say) to produce a mobile computer based on a set of specs? Why design and engineer a tablet computer completely in-house? What could Microsoft do that isn't already being done by Samsung, Lenovo, Dell, Acer, HP…?
It can make a point. It can explain, clearly, distinctly, and in the form of a real, shipping product, where Microsoft is taking Windows. Here's Microsoft's vision of the next five years of Windows computing.
Surface RT made the point gently. Surface Pro (available in the U.S. and Canada starting Saturday) double-underscores it. Surface Pro, and not the cheaper, lesser-powered Surface RT, represents the Windows 8 PC that Microsoft wants us to have. Something lightweight and slim, but with a desktop-grade CPU; powerful, but with a long battery life; eager to welcome the tablet-style multitouch apps that define the next generation of computing, yet able to run the huge library of Windows 7 desktop apps that consumers rely on today.
Microsoft's leaders are sticking their necks out. Whether or not Surface Pro is successful — creatively or commercially Microsoft deserves credit for putting skin in the game.
And when I say that Microsoft is putting skin in the game, it's actually putting in magnesium alloy. Lots of it. Surface Pro is made out of a single piece of metal — a second piece constitutes the fold-out stand — and the result is a solid, satisfying piece of kit without gaps, wobbles, or rattles. It feels great in your hands and only a user who's been bitten by a radioactive spider would be able to somehow twist or bend the frame by even a fraction. The $899 Surface Pro isn't just priced like a premium Windows mobile PC ... it's also built like one.
Let's hope it's as durable as the Surface RT, which appears to have been made via the same processes. A pal of mine dropped his RT straight onto a ceramic tile floor and it didn't suffer any damage.
At just under 2 pounds, the Pro's weight lands almost exactly in between that of a full-sized iPad and an 11-inch MacBook Air. Its footprint is somewhere in between as well, and it's barely thinner than the Air's thickest edge. All in all, it's one of the most totable desktop-grade PCs I've tried, and one of the very best-made Windows ultrabooks.
Already I'm stumbling over terminology: desktop, ultrabook, tablet. I think the Surface Pro is made out of teflon instead of magnesium; labels don't really stick to it.
Let's start off with something simple: Surface Pro vs. Surface RT. They look the same, but the RT tablet is thinner and lighter. RT is much cheaper, starting at $499 versus $899 for the Pro. The key difference is its range of software. Surface Pro is a no-compromises Windows 8 PC that can run slick multitouch apps that use the Modern UI, but it also runs all of the conventional Windows desktop apps already on the market.
Surface RT will only run Modern-style apps. It comes with special editions of the Microsoft Office apps pre-loaded, but those are the only Windows desktop-style apps you'll ever run on the device. As such, Surface RT represents a considerable gamble. Can you be productive with just Office and the limited range of Modern apps available in the Windows Store right now? Of the two, Surface Pro is by far the more powerful and practical solution.
But...is Surface Pro a desktop? A notebook? A tablet?
It's certainly as powerful as a desktop. An Ivy Bridge Intel i5 processor with integrated GPU runs Windows desktop apps and games without any compromise. I never noticed any stuttering or lags, even when watching HD video. It's as ultraportable as an ultrabook, no worries there.
And of course it's got a touchscreen that supports 10-finger multitouch. Surface Pro is a terrific showpiece for Windows 8 Modern apps. Even when I had a mouse connected, I often found myself reaching out to the screen instead. Modern UI just screams out to be touched.
This instinctive reaction is the result of all of the time I spend interacting with my phone. It's the reason why Microsoft chose to start integrating multitouch into their desktop bread-and-butter sooner rather than later.
How well does the Pro work as a tablet? Its 10.6-inch 16:9 aspect ratio screen is a little awkward in portrait mode. To be fair, Microsoft seemed to make a clear statement about device orientation when it hard-mounted a landscape kickstand into the case. Surface Pro's natural inclination towards landscape mode doesn't interfere with reading ebooks, webpages, or comic books. That said, the extra weight (half a pound more than an iPad or Surface RT) is noticeable over time.
The 208 ppi 1920x1280 display renders text and photos in crisp, sharp detail. At 208 ppi, it's much sharper than the display of the MacBook Air and most other ultrabooks. Watching HD video is a treat. It can serve up full 1080p playback and the 16:9 aspect ratio presents HD movies and TV shows in full-framed glory, where other devices force the video to duck down to fit inside a squarer box.
Enough of watching TV and reading comic books. Let's get to work. I enjoyed using Surface Pro like an ultramobile desktop PC that doesn't even require wires to a power outlet. A Bluetooth keyboard and mouse allow me to spread out across the table, whether said table is in a conference room, a library, or a coffeeshop. For high-productivity sessions, this "ultramobile desktop" layout is optimal.
But that's not how most people will think to use Surface Pro, and it's certainly not how Microsoft is advertising Surface Pro. In the commercials, people use Surface with a keyboard cover that clicks magnetically to a special receptacle at the Surface's base. Surface Pro uses the same covers as the Surface RT. The $119 Touch cover is thin and light; the $129 Type cover uses mechanical keyswitches instead of capacitative ones that don't provide feedback. Each style has an integrated trackpad that supports two-finger scrolling and has integrated buttons.
These covers let the Pro look and feel much more like a conventional notebook, without getting in the way of Surface's utility as a tablet: they're flexible and they fold around to the back of the screen when not in use...or you can pop them off completely.
Of the two, the Type cover is the obvious choice for productivity. After a brief period of adjustment, my fingers stopped caring that the keyboard wasn't as nice as the one on my usual notebook...but they never stopped noticing.
It's just not as nice as the keyboard on the MacBook Air. Surface Pro and the Air aren't suitable for head-to-head comparison (the Air is a horrible ebook reader, for example) but the MacBook is the best-in-class ultrabook and serves as a good benchmark. It has the same full-sized keyboard and key-switch technology as what you'd find in Apple's full-size MacBooks and even their desktop systems. The trackpad is a huge sheet of glass and it's a dream to operate.
The Type cover of the Surface has a trackpad that's relatively tiny, and its buttons are hard to operate. Over a period of two weeks, I got used to the keys without any complaint, but I never accepted the trackpad. It'll get you through a workday just fine, mind you. But it's an obvious shortcoming.
So was I using Surface Pro in "ultramobile desktop mode" because I had no other choice? Naw. It was because it was truly a pleasure. I use my iPad (my main "out of the office" computer) in the exact same way...except I don't have the added ease-of-use that a mouse delivers.
Speaking of which: Microsoft has produced the "Wedge Mouse for Surface" ($69) and it's about the nicest travel Bluetooth mouse I've ever used. It's about the size of a bar of hotel soap and yet it's nearly as comfortable as a standard, fills-your-hand desktop mouse. Highly recommended, even if your notebook or tablet isn't a Surface.
Thinking of the Surface Pro strictly as a notebook is will only lead to heartache. Examples: with the Type cover attached, all of the Surface Pro's weight is in the display...so you can't type on your lap. And although I like Surface's kickstand, the angle isn't adjustable. You can't just tilt the screen a little to eliminate a bit of glare you're getting from a nearby window.
But if you think of the Surface Pro strictly as a notebook, you're missing the whole point of the design. A tablet design works much better than a notebook in many places. It works better on the limited space of an airline tray table. It sits on your desk (or on the counter of a diner) like an appliance when you're watching video, and it stays out of your way. And a tablet design is much easier and accessible. Standing up, sitting down, laying down...tablets excel when you're doing any of the all three. And it's great for casual computing, such as when you're watching "Rollerball" on TV in your living room and you suddenly want to make fun of James Caan's pantsuit on Twitter.
Another big advantage of Surface Pro over a conventional notebook? Surface Pro's screen has touch and pen digitizers. When your thick, clumsy fingertip won't do, just use the included pen for precision accuracy.
Surface Pro uses Wacom pen technology. The stylus (included in the price) is no joke: like any premium Wacom product, it can communicate 1024 levels of pressure and features a side switch (which registers as a right-mouse click and is app-configurable) and a rearmounted "eraser" input.
A stylus — when it's an option, not a requirement — is a big win for a tablet. You can write block and cursive on the Surface Pro (great when you're standing up) and you can make Art with it. Why do so few people draw on their notebooks or even their iPads? Because it's a miserable experience. Sketching with the Surface Pro was such a pleasure that it quickly stopped being a test of the precision and responsiveness of the system and became simple playtime.
I will duly report that I was indeed able to add a duck to the window of the farmhouse, with a thermometer in its beak, watching his friends the chicken and the pig playing tetherball in the foreground. I could place lines and strokes precisely where I wanted them and the Surface wasn't confused when I rested the palm of my pen hand on the screen.
Ports are another area in which Surface Pro straddles the world of Tablet and Notebook. It includes a high-speed USB 3.0 port and a Mini DisplayPort. Each of these can do everything they can do in a notebook: connect to any kind of USB accessory, hook up external displays (with the correct dongle, sold separately) and use the external display as a second or mirrored screen. There's even an external display mode (untested by me) which leaves Surface's built-in screen dark but its digitizer active, so that you can use it as a pen input.
These outputs, plus the power of the Surface Pro's third-generation i5 processor, would leave me with few worries if I had to rely on this as my sole PC (something I'd dock on my desk, but unplug and carry out of the office).
Surface Pro's range of ports is better than what you get on most tablets (zilch). It's a bit thin for a notebook, though...particularly one that costs $899. That single USB port is a concern. When I tested Apple's first-generation MacBook Air, I found its sole USB port to be limiting and annoying. I suspect that a Surface Pro user would last about two weeks before they'd order themselves a travel-sized USB 3.0 hub from somewhere.
Microsoft attributes its selection of ports to the problems of compromise; add a second USB 3.0 port and what will it cost in terms of battery life? Or heat? Hmm.
At least Microsoft went ahead and did something clever: It added a powered USB charging port on the Surface's (compact) charging brick. You can't use this second USB jack to attach a flash drive or a printer, but you can charge your phone off of it, at least.
Speaking of battery life and heat. Battery life is good. I got about five hours of life when I took no measures to conserve, and a little under eight when I was more cautious. Heat wasn't an issue at all. Surface Pro was always comfortable to hold, and if either of the Pro's two fans ever kicked in, I never heard them. The device is smart enough to sense how you're holding it and it switches up the fans to make sure Surface is never blowing hot air onto your skin. Nice.
A microSDXC slot allows you to expand Surface's storage by up to 64 additional gigabytes, with as many cards as you wish. Alas, that's your sole option for user upgrades. The $899 Surface Pro includes 64 gigs of SSD storage, with about 30 gigs taken up by the OS and related apps; $999 buys the 128 gig model. Both include 4 gigabytes of application memory.
Twin 720p cameras, front and back, complete the package. Internally, there's an ambient light sensor, accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass. This ought to work out to be a great gaming platform.
Microsoft speaks of Surface Pro as their ultimate expression of Windows 8. I can see that. People who've tested out Windows 8 and the Metro interface on a conventional notebook or desktop should come into a store and see how great it works on Surface Pro.
What I liked the most about the Windows 8/Surface Pro experience was how well the device managed its relatively small display. I love the 11-inch MacBook Air and I was loath to return it when Apple's editorial loan period ended. All the same, on the Air's small screen the multiwindowed MacOS desktop interface is cramped, scaled-down, and cluttered. You suffer through it for the sake of ultraportability.
On Surface Pro, Windows 8 offered me the best of both worlds. I began writing this review on Surface with the desktop Microsoft Word app. My notes were in Evernote. I was able to simply open the Modern edition of the Evernote app and then pin those notes to the side of the screen, referring to them as I worked. Perfect! The Evernote panel was big and clear, and no Desktop window was able to cover it up. Here's another win for Surface's 16:9 aspect ratio: the Modern Evernote panel left a perfect classic desktop-aspect-ratio square for all of the Desktop apps to run in.
What didn't I like about the Surface Pro As A Desktop-OS Computer Experience? I came to think of Surface Pro as a super-awesome tablet, which meant that when I'd pull it out of my bag and wake it, the ten to fifteen seconds between flicking the power switch and seeing signs of life seemed like an eternity.
Overall, though, I'm very pleased with Surface Pro. It's a tantalizing preview of what tablet computers, and Windows 8, will become if Windows developers become enthusiastic about creating Modern-style apps. It seems like a necessary step forward, unless consumers start clamoring for larger screens instead of laptops that are more mobile. The classic Windows Desktop experience has the same cramped, scaled-down problems on the Surface Pro's 10.6" display as the MacOS experience had on the 11" Air's.
And Modern UI is a fantastic thing. It's beautiful and powerful and I return to my iPad and my Mac with lingering feelings of lust.
Throughout my two weeks with Surface Pro, I kept searching the Windows Store for a Modern-style word processor that I could use for actual work. If Microsoft were shipping a Modern version of Office, I wouldn't have even considered using the desktop edition. It's the best of both worlds: Windows 8 and Modern UI can give me the clean, clear, distraction-free interface of a tablet with the tiled, multi-app workflow and productivity of a desktop.
Alas, those Modern apps have been slow in coming. And so, the force of Surface Pro is slightly blunted. Modern apps are part of the whole reason for Surface Pro to exist. For now, the Windows Store is full of entertainment, media, and accessory apps but it's short on the sort of apps that help you to knock projects off of your To-Do list and make your mortgage payments.
It's a well-built machine and packed with appeal. But it isn't a universal appeal. If you're mostly running desktop apps, and you expect a device to behave as a notebook, your money and your expectations are best placed elsewhere. It might not even be superior to the pairing of a less-expensive Windows 8 notebook and an $330 iPad Mini or a $200 Nexus 7 tablet. The combination can be had for about the same amount of money as a Surface Pro and a keyboard.
You know what I'm saying? Surface Pro is exceptionally well-made, it performs well, and even its lack of ports is...well, it's unfortunate but excusable, given the goals of the device. As much as I like Surface Pro, though, I probably wouldn't buy one.
Here in early 2013, it doesn't make a compelling case for itself. There are great tablets (the fullsized iPad, as well as the the compact iPad Mini, Nexus 7, and Kindle Fire) and great light notebooks. The strength of the Surface Pro is that it has some of the advantages of both. It's not great at being solely either kind. As a tablet, the Surface Pro is heavy and it has half the battery life of an iPad. As a notebook, the Surface has a subpar keyboard and trackpad, it needs another USB port and a fullsized SD card slot, and you can't use it without a level table underneath it.
Even as a hybrid device, Surface Pro has competition. Nearly every maker is creating devices that try to bridge tablets and conventional notebooks, and they're taking a route that's more conservative (read: appealing to existing consumers) than the Surface Pro. Lenovo, Dell, and Samsung's hybrids begin with a laptop-style frame and find ways to stash the keyboard and trackpad out of the way. Lenovo's has a 180 degree hinge; Dell has a screen that flips around in its bezel; Samsung has a nice Windows tablet that hard-docks into a rock-solid keyboard hinge and the keyboard module brings a supplemental battery to the party.
All of these alternatives have their own problems. Either they're a third to half again as expensive as the Surface Pro, or they're built around chintzy mobile processors, or the construction is cheap and flimsy. But they're familiar and safe.
Meanwhile, the truly adventurous consumers are bold enough to think "Why do things halfway?" and might be inclined to choose a high-end iPad as their ultramobile device. The iPad has its problems as well, but "lack of software" isn't one of them.
That's really the only big problem I see with Surface Pro. It's incomplete without a mature library of professional-grade productivity apps, written for the Modern UI, that are designed to take advantage of the Surface Pro's unusual strengths. Because if all of the apps that justify its price tag are traditional Windows Desktop software, why bother buying a nontraditional PC at all?
The good news is that the device's basic ideas are sound, and $899 isn't a lot of money for an ultrabook with these features (a desktop-grade CPU and rock-solid construction).
Surface Pro isn't a good choice for the majority of consumers. But I can see its appeal to lots of different groups. It's a good choice for people who love multitouch and don't see the sense in owning both a laptop and a tablet. It's for artists who want what amounts to a travel version of a Wacom Cintiq...something that allows precision, pressure-sensitive drawing right on the display....It's for people who are quite confident that Modern productivity apps will start to appear before too long. People who value a PC that's flexible across the many postures (standing, sitting, lying down) that one assumes when using a computer in the 21st century.
And maybe it's for consumers who, like Microsoft, want to put a little skin in the game. If you keep complaining online that desktop operating systems and the machines that run them haven't changed much in 15 years, well, here you go: it's something fresh and different and exciting. Like an early hybrid vehicle, it points to the future. It's good in its first incarnation and leaves me eager to see how much it'll improve in future iterations, and with a bigger Modern software library.

From the specter of Hemingway to a morbid tale of love beyond the grave, this is another side of America's southern-most city.
Pirates, renegades, roustabouts and free spirits have long called Key West home. But this diminutive island, now famous as a tropical playground, is said to be home to spirits of another kind as well...
HAUNTED KEY WEST goes beyond the gingerbread fagades of the picture-postcard houses and deep into the dark past of the island for a fascinating look at its enduring stories of troubled souls. We'll hear from guests who have encountered the spirit of Ernest Hemingway in Key West's leading hotel and visit the site where Civil War soldiers are rumored to still stand guard. And Ben Harrison, the author of Undying Love, recounts the extraordinary tale of the man who unearthed his lover's corpse and kept it in his home for seven years, though her ghost apparently never left the graveyard her body was taken from!
On an island famous for its sunsets, some of the most interesting action only happens after dark!

DOG HEALTHThere are many benefits to spaying and neutering, but there are also more than a few risks. We want to give you often overlooked information you need to make a full and informed choice.
ADOPTION Are you intimidated by the prospect of "rescuing" a dog from a shelter? One reason that you may be wary of adopting a dog from a shelter is not knowing how to choose. Adopting a dog from a shelter can be a rewarding process, if you're prepared to do a reasonable amount of research.
DOG HEALTH As we get older, most of us probably have at least one prescription medication we take regularly, and for many, some form of pain reliever is a daily necessity. We might think that these same medications can help out our dogs as they get older, but their systems react to these chemical compounds in ways much different than ours.
DOG HEALTH Bringing home a new puppy is so exciting, but it doesn't take all that long for your exuberant puppy to grow into a senior dog who may have special needs. Here are the doggies.com top ten tips for taking care of your companion who has been with you through so much.
DOG FUN Whether you like to go out on your pontoon, a fishing boat, or even a canoe, life on a boat can be even better if you bring your dog along. Here's the doggies.com guide to dogs on boats. (A little different than Snakes on a Plane.)
DOG FUN There 's no doubt about it, taking your dog to the dog park involves a certain amount of good manners. Here's our guide to "keeping your nose clean" while your dog hangs out with his or her friends.
DOG BEHAVIOR Getting bitten by a dog can be scary, and you may be tempted to run around in circles for a while, trying to figure out what to do. Here's our guide to help you manage the situation.
DAY CARE Sometimes our schedules change and we need some help watching after our dogs. Or, maybe we want to bring some other k-9s into their daily lives. Here's our guide to what you should look for before leaving your four-footed family member with strangers.

Police search for suspect in New Hartford bank robbery
NEW HARTFORD, N.Y. (WKTV) - The Bank of America branch located on Genesee Street in New Hartford was robbed Tuesday afternoon, the suspect making off with an undisclosed amount of cash.
Police say the suspect is still on the loose.
Roughly two hours before closing time, a man walked into the bank. Police say he did not display a weapon, but handed a clerk a note demanding money. The clerk complied, as is company policy, and the suspect fled.
Now, police say they are search for a black male who was last seen heading up Genesee Street in the direction of Utica.
Police say the suspect is described as in his late 40s or early 50s, wearing a light blue stripped shirt with a hat. He also has a thin mustache.
"Inside the bank we are interviewing the employees that are working, we do have a forensic investigator on scene," said New Hartford Police Chief Michael Inserra. He'll try to look for physical evidence, DNA, and we're interviewing other businesses, we're looking for surveillance tapes, etc."
No was hurt in the course of the robbery and police released no other details at this time.

These sponge-tipped sticks are not what you should be using to apply eyeshadow. Brushes are always preferred. Even if you were thinking of using these to soften an eye design or smudge a line, the sponges tend to drag over skin, producing uneven, splotchy color.
The N.Y.C. (New York Color) brand clearly wants to align itself with all of the excitement and pulsating action of the Big Apple—think Sex and the City or any of the notable fashion magazines whose home is in the heart of Manhattan. It would have been a clever marketing maneuver if New York Color had delivered, but despite a few stellar products, the line overall is comparatively tame and relatively ordinary. Sexy product names and beguiling makeup descriptions don't equal great makeup. Forget Sex and the City, this is more like a new Woody Allen film—a few surprises, but predictably familiar in the end.
The most appealing part of this line is rock-bottom prices; everything is less than $10, and several items are less than $3 (but that's still not as rock bottom at E.L.F., where $1 per item is standard). Although this isn't the cream of the crop for makeup, there are more than enough inexpensive okay options to make it worthwhile for you to check if it's being sold at your local drugstore. Just keep in mind that not everything N.Y.C. offers is "prestige quality" or the least bit fashion-forward. Put another way: New Yorkers are a notoriously tough group to please, and as a whole N.Y.C. doesn't do enough to make an on-the-go city girl slow down and see what she's missing. In fact, shopping this line without some advance information may lead to resounding disappointments, and that's never the goal. On the flipside, knowing what to zero in on will not only save you money, but also connect you with a product that stands a very good chance of leaving you wondering why anyone would pay more.
You're most likely to find N.Y.C. at Target and Rite Aid. Regrettably, testers are not available, but both of the aforementioned retailers have a good return policy if you save your receipt.
For more information about N.Y.C., call (800) 953-5080 or visit www.newyorkcolor.com.

2 thoughts on "Sing The Christmas Story"
I love this video! Mixing the beauty and sophistication of the orchestra and the choir with the simple nativity put on by children and the smiles and work of the parents was a perfect fit. Wonderful – thank you!
A wonderful song! My favorite Christmas album is the Choir's 2000 offering "A Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas." I like that it includes many lesser-known songs like this one (I also really like "Whence is that Goodly Fragrance" and "What Shall we Give to the Babe in the Manger") along with some classics, like "What Child is This" and "The First Noel." And Mack Wilberg's arrangement of "Angels from the Realms of Glory" (set to "Gloria") is pure genius! That instantly became one of my favorites as soon as I heard it (the Choir's performance with Sissel was absolutely enchanting).

I think you should stick to paladin tanking. If the class isn't the top tank, it just allows you to shine all the more.
I actualy play Protpaly since years, but with the new DICE-System it seems that Protpally is not more in the top of tanking.
So I may try to reroll. To choose I have Wary,DK or Druid. I think over it, because I think DK is fine for most bosses like Gaja etc. Protwarry was good at the start of MoP with the mighty shield what absorbed magic + melee but they nerfed it so I have no actual stats for the shield.
What you prefer me? Have anyone a actual tank ranking maybe?

This is actually the first expansion that I actually enjoy my paladin in. Normally I just lvl him to max and them delegate him to being my mule because I didn't care for the play style. However I've been farming the kara mount for around 5 months on all 8 of my characters and have found the prot paladin game play to be much better now.
OP - I think you are far,far Overreacting.
This thread reminded me about a blue post:
I posted recently in the large class balance theorycrafting thread that we have buffed the mitigation and rage generation of Guardian druids and Protection warriors. After some more analysis, we don't think DKs and monks needed additional nerfs to be on par with paladins, who were our target. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
Seems to me that DKs and monks might be slightly ahead if you read between the lines but it's fairly balanced.
Tanking isn't about the rankings. It's about the mechanics that work for you and are fun.
If you do not find playing your pally fun, then definitely change. But you need to understand why it is not fun for you anymore before you switch.
Damage? - Have you tried tanking a raid yet? All tanks actually got a DPS boost due to the Vengance change -- if you are not the main tank you will not see it.
Threat? - If you are having threat problems, it is just practice.
Squishyness? - Paladins are probably the least squishy class right now on average other than Monks, which are having the nerf bat waved in their direction.
I play a druid tank. We are hard put to not be squishy and will continue to be so since the redesign, enough that Blizzard is buffing us a bit. Difference is that I am not going to let the redesign keep me from playing my favorite tank class until my healing lead tells me that it is holding the raid progression back.
If you'd like to switch to something else for a little while, try the monk. Enjoy the overpoweredness while it lasts.

I know this has already been discussed to a degree but I am trying to make a mage character, specifically a Human Circle Mage. The starting talents you can get at level 1 are Chirgury, Linguistics, and Lore. Now the solution that most people seem to go with aside from house ruling is simply if you don't fit the requirements, then you can't start with that talent.
Citing Chirgury in particular, you need Cunning (Heal) as a prereq. The problem is the only mage class that can possibly even get this is the Elf Circle Mage, it is not even listed as an option on the Human section of the table or as an option, and does not even show up at all on the Apostate. Now I can certainly understand if people rule if you don't have it you can't get it.
However, what is throwning me for a loop is in the Quickstart Guide in the back are a few pregen characters, one being a Human Circle Mage. It does NOT have the heal focus, but has Chirgury listed as a starting talent. Thoughts?

Holy War
"Le conflit israélo-arabe"
Stripped of propaganda and sentiment, the Palestine problem is, simply, the struggle of two different peoples for the same strip of land. For the Jews, the establishment of Israel was a Return, with all the mystical significance the capital R implies. For the Arabs it was another invasion. This has led to three wars between them in twenty years. Each has been a victory for the Jews. With each victory the size of Israel has grown. So has the number of Arab homeless.
Now to find a solution which will satisfy both peoples is like trying to square a circle. In the language of mathematics, the aspirations of the Jews and the Arabs are incommensurable. Their conflicting ambitions cannot be fitted into the confines of any ethical system which transcends the tribalistic. This is what frustrates the benevolent outsider, anxious to satisfy both peoples. For two years Jean-Paul Sartre has been trying to draw Israelis and Arabs into a confrontation in a special number of his review, Les Temps Modernes. The third war between them broke out while it was on the press.
This long-awaited special issue on Le conflit israélo-arabe is the first confrontation in print of Arab and Israeli intellectuals. But it turns out to be 991 pages not so much of dialogue as of dual monologue. The two sets of contributors sit not just in separate rooms, like employers and strikers in a bitter labor dispute, but in separate universes where the simplest fact often turns out to have diametrically opposite meanings. Physics has begun to uncover a new conundrum in the worlds of matter and anti-matter, occupying the same space and time but locked off from each other by their obverse natures, forever twin yet forever sundered. The Israeli-Arab quarrel is the closest analogue in the realm of international politics.
The conditions exacted for the joint appearance of Israelis and Arabs in the same issue of Les Temps Modernes excluded not only collaboration but normal editorial mediation or midwifery. Claude Lanzmann, who edited this special issue, explains in his Introduction that the choice of authors and of subjects had to be left "in full sovereignty" (en toute souverainté) to each of the two parties. The Arabs threatened to withdraw if an article was included by A. Razak Abdel-Kader, an Algerian who is an advocate of Israeli-Arab reconciliation. When the Israelis objected that Les Temps Modernes at least allow Abdel-Kader to express himself as an individual, the Arabs insisted on an absolute veto: there would be no issue if Abdel-Kader were in it.
In his Preface Jean-Paul Sartre lays bare the conflicting emotions which led him to embark on so difficult a task as to attempt the role—in some degree—of peacemaker between Arab and Israeli. They awaken the memories of his finest hours. One was that of the Resistance. "For all those who went through this experience," M. Sartre writes, "it is unbearable to imagine that another Jewish community, wherever it may be, whatever it may be, should endure this Calvary anew and furnish martyrs to a new massacre." The other was Sartre's aid to the Arabs in their struggle for Algerian independence. These memories bind him to both peoples, and give him the respect of both, as the welcome he received in both Egypt and Israel last year attests. His aim in presenting their views is, he says wistfully, merely to inform. His hope is that information in itself will prove pacifying "because it tends more or less slowly to replace passion by knowledge." But the roots of this struggle lie deeper than reason. It is not at all certain that information will replace passion with knowledge.
THE EXPERIENCES from which M. Sartre draws his emotional ties are irrelevant to this new struggle. Both sides draw from them conclusions which must horrify the man of rationalist tradition and universalist ideals. The bulk of the Jews and the Israelis draw from the Hitler period the conviction that, in this world, when threatened one must be prepared to kill or be killed. The Arabs draw from the Algerian conflict the conviction that, even in dealing with so rational and civilized a people as the French, liberation was made possible only by resorting to the gun and the knife. Both Israeli and Arabs in other words feel that only force can assure justice. In this they agree, and this sets them on a collision course. For the Jews believe justice requires the recognition of Israel as a fact; for the Arabs, to recognize the fact is to acquiesce in the wrong done them by the conquest of Palestine. If God as some now say is dead, He no doubt died of trying to find an equitable solution to the Arab-Jewish problem.
The argument between them begins with the Bible. "I give this country to your posterity," God said to Abraham (Gen. XV:18) "from the river of Egypt up to the great river, Euphrates." Among the Jews, whether religious or secular mystics, this is the origin of their right to the Promised Land. The opening article in the Arab section of Les Temps Modernes retorts that the "posterity" referred to in Genesis includes the descendants of Ishmael since he was the son of Abraham by his concubine Ketirah, and the ancestor of all the Arabs, Christian or Muslim.
All this may seem anachronistic nonsense, but this is an anachronistic quarrel. The Bible is still the best guide to it. Nowhere else can one find a parallel for its ethnocentric fury. Nowhere that I know of is there a word of pity in the Bible for the Canaanites whom the Hebrews slaughtered in taking possession. Of all the nonsense which marks the Jewish-Arab quarrel none is more nonsensical than the talk from both sides about the Holy Land as a symbol of peace. No bit of territory on earth has been soaked in the blood of more battles. Nowhere has religion been so zestful an excuse for fratricidal strife. The Hebrew shalom and the Arabic salaam are equally shams, relics of a common past as Bedouins. To this day inter-tribal war is the favorite sport of the Bedouins; to announce "peace" in the very first word is a necessity if any chance encounter is not to precipitate bloodshed.
IN BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE the Jews have been going in and out of Palestine for 3,000 years. They came down from the Euphrates under Abraham; returned from Egypt under Moses and Joshua; came back again from the Babylonian captivity and were dispersed again after Jerusalem fell to the Romans in 70 A.D. This is the third return. The Arabs feel they have a superior claim because they stayed put. This appearance side by side in Les Temps Modernes provides less than the full and undiluted flavor of an ancient sibling rivalry. Both sides have put their better foot forward. The Arab section includes no sample of the bloodcurdling broadcasts in which the Arab radios indulge; the Israeli, no contribution from the right-wing Zionists who dream of a greater Israel from the Nile to the Euphrates (as promised in Genesis) with complete indifference to the fate of the Arab inhabitants. On neither side is there a frank exposition of the Real-politik which led Arab nationalists like Nasser to see war on Israel as the one way to achieve Arab unity, and leads Jewish nationalists like Ben Gurion and Dayan to see Arab disunity and backwardness as essential elements for Israeli security and growth. No voice on the Arab side preaches a Holy War in which all Israel would be massacred, while no voice on the Israeli side expresses the cheerfully cynical view one may hear in private that Israel has no realistic alternative but to hand the Arabs a bloody nose every five or ten years until they accept the loss of Palestine as irreversible.
The picture, however, is not wholly symmetrical. There is first of all the asymmetry of the victorious and the defeated. The victor is ready to talk with the defeated if the latter will acquiesce in defeat. The defeated, naturally, is less inclined to this kind of objectivity. The editor, Claude Lanzmann, speaks of an "asymmetry between the two collections of articles which derives at one and the same time from a radical difference in their way of looking at the conflict and from the difference in the nature of the political regimes in the countries involved." Even if not expressly authorized by their governments or organizations to participate, M. Lanzmann explains, all the Arabs except the North Africans wrote only after consultation and defend a common position while the Israelis "as is normal in a Western style democracy" speak either for themselves or for one of their numerous parties. But this diversity may be exaggerated. On the fundamental issue which divides the two sides, no Arab contributor is prepared to advocate recognition of the state of Israel, while only one Israeli contributor is prepared to advocate its transformation into something other than a basically Jewish state.
The depth of this nationalistic difference may be measured by what happened to Israel's Communist party. Elsewhere national centrifugal tendencies have made their appearance in the once monolithic world of communism. In Israel the same nationalist tendencies split the Communist party into two, one Jewish the other Arab. The days when Arab Communists faithfully followed Moscow's line straight into the jails of Egypt, Iraq, Syria, and Jordan by supporting the 1947 partition plan have long passed away. Today Arab and Jewish Communists no longer find common ground.1 It would be hard to find an Arab who would agree with Moshe Sneh, head of the Jewish Communist party (Maki) in Israel, when he told L'Express (June 19-25), "our war is just and legitimate. What united the 13 Arab States against us, irrespective of their regime, was not anti-imperialism but pan-Arabism and anti-Jewish chauvinism." He added boldly that Moscow in supporting the Arabs had "turned its back on the politics of the international left and on the spirit of Tashkent." But even Sneh's bitter rival, Meir Vilner, the Jewish leader of, and one of the few Jews left in, the Arab Communist party (Rakka) expresses himself in Les Temps Modernes in terms with which no Arab contributor to it agrees. M. Vilner is for the return of all the refugees who wish it, for full equality to Arabs in Israel and for a neutralist policy, but he defends the existence of Israel as a legitimate fact and denies that "one can in any way compare the people (of Israel) to Algerian colons or the Crusaders." The comparisons rejected by the leader of the Arab Communist party in Israel are the favorite comparisons of the Arabs outside Israel. The diversity of viewpoint on the Israeli side thus ends with the basic agreement on its right to exist, and to exist as a Jewish state. This is precisely where the Arab disagreement begins.
The relative strength of the two since the split may be seen from the fact that the Jewish branch was able to elect only one deputy while the Arab branch, which draws the largest vote among the Arab minority, elected three, two Arabs and one Jew.↩

Get deep into a fascinating subject, the origins of submarine warfare, as Hunter Ellis brings to the surface new evidence about the Civil War's futuristic weaponry.
- New evidence answers old questions about the Civil War submarine, the H.L. Hunley.
- Hosted by adventurer Hunter Ellis (Tactical to Practical).
- Archeology gets a fresh new face in this exciting series.
Adventure has a new name! Host, explorer and survival expert Hunter Ellis takes a fresh look at the world's greatest ancient mysteries and puts adventure back into history as he travels to some of the most intriguing, remote and physically challenging locations in the world. With a fresh and engaging approach to archaeology, Hunter goes to extremes and takes us along for the ride.
Experience the cutting edge of military technology, circa 1863, and unlock a mystery that has puzzled historians for over a century in this in-depth episode of DIGGING FOR THE TRUTH.
In 1863 the Confederate Army, in a desperate attempt to turn the tide of the Civil War, launched a new and daring weapon: a forty-foot submarine. Named for its inventor, the H.L. Hunley, while potentially revolutionary to war craft, claimed many lives, including that of its creator, long before it saw action and would, in the end, meet a mysterious and tragic fate.
Once deployed the Hunley, armed with a primitive torpedo, destroyed one of the mightiest ships of the Union's navy, yet its crew never made it home. The craft's fate and whereabouts were unknown for over 130 years. Hunter Ellis and expert Kara Cooney set out to get to the bottom of this enduring mystery.
In THE HUNLEY SECRETS REVEALED, exclusive archaeological evidence illustrates the crew's final moments and reveals, for the first time, what probably sank the H.L. Hunley!

Changes coming to the National Parks
Neal Augenstein, WTOP reporter
Neal Augenstein, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - The National Park Service is considering closing restroom and visitor facilities earlier and eliminating late-night ranger hours at monuments and memorials on the National Mall, WTOP has learned.
Currently, ranger stations and nearby restrooms are open until almost 11:30 p.m. or midnight.
The National Park Service is contemplating closing those facilities at 10 p.m.
"There are discussions. We're looking at ways to maximize our staffing," says Carol Johnson, spokesperson for the Park Service.
She says no decisions have been made.
The discussed cuts are not related to sequestration, Johnson says.
"They've been in the works for quite a while."
Locals and visitors have long-enjoyed nighttime visits to the monuments, when crowds and noise have disappeared, and spotlights illuminate the nation's icons.
Johnson says the monuments themselves will stay open.
"We're looking at things like shortening hours of visitor contact with rangers, but we have a real decrease in visitor-ship after 10 p.m.," Johnson says.
It is unclear whether restrooms and elevators could remain in operation during hours rangers aren't on duty, she says.
"Right now they've been locked when the rangers leave, and of course, people have to be available to clean them," Johnson says.
D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, in a statement to WTOP, says the Park Service will be before the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Tuesday morning.
"I intend to ask them about this reduction in services, particularly if they are not due to the sequester," Norton says in the statement.
"If such a reduction was ever necessary, surely it would not be in the summer months when people come to this tourist town," Norton says.
