Did not meet expectations
By Tucson Gal
from Tucson, AZ
The instructions were poorly translated to English and did not give ample direction on how to adjust for color. The negatives scanned were much brighter than they should have been.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great tool; easy to use.
By Pecosbackpacker
from New mexico
Love this little guy except for the plastic platen. It attracts dust and is vey hard to keep dust free and clean. A glass platen would be soooo much better. I'll probably have our local glass shop make a glass platen for me to replace the original.

Stonyfield Farm talks to Farmington gardeners on organic practices
Thursday, December 20, 2012
FARMINGTON — Stonyfield Farm's Sustainability Innovation Project Coordinator Jenna Bourne recently gave a public talk, at the invitation of Farmington Gardeners' Roundtable, on the history of her company and the principles of sustainability that guide it.
"That was a wake-up call," he said. "We decided to go organic, or quit. It has had a big impact on our health and out lives. Our vet bills are 10 percent of what they used to be. Our cows are healthy, we feel better, and we could never got back to the old way."
Although going organic was the right thing to do, said Teague, it was originally an economic decision. The conventional price for a c-weight (cwt) of milk in 2012, said Bourne is $18.44, while Stonyfield pays farmers a guaranteed $26.56 for a cwt of organic milk. A cwt is about 100 pounds.
The reason organic products cost more, explained Bourne, is because there are no chemical shortcuts in their production.
Organic milk comes from small farms, where the cows walk out to their pasture, rather than living all their lives in a factory-type environment, and thus farms are limited by the amount of available grazing land. The cows eat feed that is 100 percent organic and grown in healthy, rich soil that contains no toxic pesticides. The cows, which must graze outdoors at least four months of the year and be treated humanely, cannot be given rBGH. This is a genetically engineered artificial hormone injected into dairy cows to increase milk production.
The recent Proposition 37 in California, seeking the labelling of genetically modified foods, was defeated 53 percent to 47 percent, with the pro-labellers being outspent by the anti-labellers by a ratio of 7-1. The label opposers included well-known companies like Monsanto and Hershey, according to campaign finance tracker MapLight.org, as reported on the Huffington Post website. Over $44 million was reportedly spent to defeat Prop. 37 at the ballot box.
Bourne explained that Stonyfield originated from an organic farming school in Wilton in 1983, which started making yoghurt from the milk of seven cows. This sold so well, that the school switched to just being a yoghurt company, and some years later, outgrowing its rural location, built its Londonderry facility. Growth has been steady, even through the recession. In 1989, said Bourne, the company had 42 employees and sold 8,050 cases of yoghurt, valued at $2.5 million. In 2012, the projected figures, with 410 employees, are 800,000 cases valued at $340 million.
In 2001, the French company Groupe Danone bought around 40 percent of Stonyfield Farm stock and in 2003 took up 85 percent of Stonyfield Farm, Inc. shares. The remaining 15 percent of shares are owned by Hirshberg and other employees, according to the company's website.
Currently, Stonyfield is supplied with its needs, by 200,000 acres of organic farmland.
The plant's wastewater receives anaerobic hybrid biological treatment and the recovered biogas provides some heat and power.
Whenever possible, too, Stonyfield chooses to move its products by rail rather than by truck.
"I am really proud to work there," said Bourne, who, at the conclusion of her talk and visual presentation, rewarded the audience with even more cartons of Stonyfield Organic Yoghurt.

You don't need the whole library (he probably won't agree to that), you only need the parts that you have used to be dual-licensed. That is more likely to work.

Why does intel bother close sourcing their drivers anyway? Its not like anyone buy's intel hardware for graphics performance right?
Ehh no. Someone posted a patch to lkml to remove the copyright notice in question but the patch was never applied; hence there was never a violation of the license, despite the drama the BSD people wanted to create about this.and then blatantly violate the license by removing the text of the license... Despite the fact that they could have just legally used the code if they had kept the license in place:
No, one doesn't buy a notebook with the GMA500 for the performance, but for a small, low power solution. I have very specific needs for my notebook and I know of only one single line that fits somewhat, and it runs a GMA500. The Windwos drivers also crap, BTW.
I have a little hope that maybe with APUs, the GMA500 would become obsolete, but unfortunately I don't see it happening anytime soon.
You can write closed source code for big companies without getting paid?But I can't think of anything special that FreeBSD has to offer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Slims MacKenzie Love the slim fit dress shirts I really like the slim fit Perry Ellis shirts. At 6'4", slim (but not skinny) build, long arms, and long torso it's been difficult to find proper fitting shirts that don't need tailoring. These shirts fit perfectly! Long enough that they don't untuck when I sit down, the lower body doesn't have a tone of loose material, chest and shoulders fit properly, and the sleeves actually go to my wrists. February 13, 2013

Nashua knocks Post 7 into loser's bracket
Monday, July 29, 2013
CONCORD — In a game that ultimately came down to the bullpens, Rochester Post 7 dropped a 4-2 decision to Nashua in the Senior American Legion baseball state tournament Sunday morning at Memorial Field.
Nashua reached Rochester relievers Zach Poisson for two runs in the eighth and Luke Roberts for one in the ninth.
"It was important," Gagnon said. "I think most people in the ball park thought he was safe, but at the end of the day it's a base running mistake for us."

Working with Shell's country manager for Nigeria, the company's Committee of Managing Directors must decide how to respond to the Nigerian government's decision to impose the death sentence on Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other leaders of a movement for the rights of the Ogoni (one of Nigeria's 240 ethnic groups). As the case opens, Saro-Wiwa and his codefendants have just been found guilty of inciting murder in a trial that international observers have criticized as deeply flawed. Saro-Wiwa, an environmentalist, writer, businessman, television producer, and human rights activist, has been a vocal critic of not only the Nigerian government but also Shell. Provides background on Shell, on its business in Nigeria, and on environmental and human rights issues in the Niger Delta.

A thrilling guided tour through the world of sharks and their relationship with human communities around the globe.
From Belize to South Africa, from Shanghai to Bimini, we see that sharks are still the object of an obsession that may eventually lead to their extinction. In this eye-opening adventure that spans the globe, environmental journalist Juliet Eilperin investigates the fascinating ways different individuals and cultures relate to the ocean's top predator. Along the way, she reminds us why, after millions of years, sharks remain among nature's most awe-inspiring creatures. With a reporter's instinct for a good story and a scientist's curiosity, Eilperin offers us an up-close understanding of these extraordinary, mysterious creatures in the most entertaining and illuminating shark encounter you're likely to find outside a steel cage.
Each kind of auctioneer has a style. There's the robust cattle auctioneer, who spits out numbers in a bold, singsong voice that determines where animals go to be bred or slaughtered; the elegant estate auctioneer, whose rich, mellifluous tone entices art and furniture collectors to fork over their savings; and then there's Charlie Lim.
A spectacled, wiry man in his early fifties, Lim sports a short-sleeved, button-down shirt and a modified bowl cut that lets his straight black bangs fall neatly across his forehead. Standing in front of the sort of shiny whiteboards that appear in classrooms and corporate conference rooms across the globe, he doesn't talk much as he auctions off his wares; instead, he shakes an abacus in short, regular bursts. Much of the time, the clicking of the beads is the loudest sound in the room.
Lim is a shark fin trader. More precisely, he's the secretary of Hong Kong's Sharkfin and Marine Products Association. And at the moment he's standing in a nondescript auction house whose spare white decor evokes a Chelsea art gallery. But when the auction begins, the buyers crowd around Lim in a semicircle, jostling for a look at the gray triangular fi ns splayed across the floor. A shark fin auction is as fast as it is secretive. By the time Lim takes his position at the front of the room, one of his assistants has already marked on the board behind him—in a bright red felt-tipped pin—which sorts of fins are being auctioned in any given lot. As soon as men dump the contents of a burlap bag on the floor, the bidding begins: any interested buyer must approach Lim and punch his suggested price into a single device that only the auctioneer and his assistant can see. The bidders must make a calculated guess about what price will prevail, rather than compete with each other openly for a given bag of fins. Within two minutes the lot is sold, and the winning price per kilo is duly noted on the board. Lim's assistants sweep the pile back into its bag, using a dustpan to gather any errant fins that might have escaped to the side. Another bag—containing the first dorsal, pectorals, and lower lobe of the caudal fins that are most valuable—is dumped on the floor, and the cycle begins again.
The group of men gathered here—and it's all men—are experienced traders who hear about these auctions through word of mouth. There is no downtime, no chitchat; in fact, there aren't even chairs for them to sit on during the auction. Given the quick pace of shark fin sales, they must be prepared to bid without hesitation. The bidders show no emotion during the entire process: this isn't fine art they plan to furnish their homes with, or livestock they will devote months to raising. It is a heap of desiccated objects they will seek to transfer to someone else as soon as they acquire it.
Lim does make a few remarks in Cantonese about the fins before his feet, but it's not the sort of chatter most auctioneers use to boost the price of a given lot. He's not saying, "Take a look at these gray beauties!" or anything to that effect. Sometimes he indicates the species that's collected in a given bag: blacktip, hammerhead, or blue shark. But a shark fin auction is not really about salesmanship. It's about moving product.
Some rare metals and stones have carried a high market price for centuries. Basic foodstuffs, including several fish species, have also held a quantifiable commercial value over time. The shark trade, however, is a more recent arrival to the world scene. Unlike many other fish, such as salmon or red snapper, for example, shark does not derive its value from its taste or nutritional worth. In fact, there's ample evidence that the high levels of toxins sharks accumulate in their bodies pose a potential threat to humans, just as tuna does. While many consumers—especially in China—view shark meat and fins as nutritious, sharks are likely to contain high levels of mercury because they are large, slow- growing fish that consume other fish as their prey, which allows mercury to build up in their muscle tissues. WildAid, an environmental group that crusades against shark fin trafficking, commissioned a study by the Thailand Institute of Scientific and Technological Research in 2001 that found shark fins in Bangkok's markets contain mercury concentrations up to forty- two times above the safe limit for human health.
The market for sharks is based more on the animals' mystique than anything else. In the same way that De Beers has convinced young men across the globe that women will be more likely to accept their marriage proposal if it comes with a diamond ring, men like Lim have managed to persuade Asian consumers that the very presence of stringy shark fin cartilage in their soup speaks to their own social status. Other marketers have different pitches, bottling sharks' mysterious promise in a range of salves. One U.S. entrepreneur has made a decent amount of money peddling the line that sharks cure cancer, while other companies are in the business of advertising shark oil's anti- aging properties. None of these appeals are based on science, but they tap into our long- held beliefs about the power of an animal that can consume us. And nowhere do they resonate more strongly than in Asia, where an ever-expanding group of consumers is seeking new ways to demonstrate its upwardly mobile status.

Juliet Eilperin is the national environmental reporter for The Washington Post, where she writes about science, policy, and politics in areas ranging from climate change to oceans. A graduate of Princeton University, she lives with her family in Washington, D.C.
"Engaging. . . . A far-ranging voyage through the shark world."
—San Francisco Chronicle
"A compelling book: Its author not only knows all about her subject but she knows how readers think about it. . . . The main impression left by Demon Fish is that sharks are indeed all they are cracked up to be—and more."
—Los Angeles Times
"Reveals the close relationship between humans and sharks through the interplay of history and culture. . . . By the end of Demon Fish, readers may be tempted to don a wet suit and go hug a shark."
—The New York Times
"Eilperin circles the world in pursuit of sharks and the people who love and hate them. . . whether they are killers or protectors, she tells their stories with fairness and understanding. I forgot the time as I immersed myself in the world of sharks. . . . Whether you've never read a book about sharks or have a shelf full of them, this is a book for you."
—Callum Roberts, The Washington Post
"Fascinating and meticulously reported book. . . . Eilperin illuminates not only the hidden nature of the seas, but also the societies whose survival depend on them."
—David Grann, author of The Lost City of Z
"For this inclusive and important book, Eilperin traveled around the world to find people who study, fish for, dive with, venerate, or have been attacked by sharks. . . . [she] discusses many others who have brought sharks into human consciousness—Jules Verne, Edgar Allen Poe, Ernest Hemingway, and Jacques Cousteau; to this list, we must now add Eilperin herself."
—Richard Ellis, The American Scholar
"Hate, fear, envy, awe, worship. Of the many shark books, precious few explore the human-shark relationship. And none do with such style as Juliet Eilperin does in this fact-packed, fast-paced narrative. This is the shark book for the person who wants to understand both what sharks are, and what sharks mean. Bite into it."
—Carl Safina, author of Song for the Blue Ocean and The View From Lazy Point; A Natural Year in an Unnatural World
"Eilperin investigates the greatest threats to sharks: the shark fin trade and the ecological and economic forces affecting shark populations. . . The book is certainly timely. And Demon Fish does the subject justice."
—San Francisco Chronicle
"Poised to be one of the summer's most compelling beach reads."
"In this wide-ranging natural history of shark-human relations, the author recounts frank interviews with an entertaining cast of scientists, fishermen, wholesalers, chefs, and eco-tour operators, all of whom have a stake in the survival of the oceans' top predators. She also gets into the water with the sharks. For readers who like passionate investigative reporting."

Many Guises and Many Names
Playlist Navigation Bar
The White City: 1. The White City
The White City
I enter the White City with apprehension. I fear what I shall see here; I fear my feelings of this place, with its throne so long abandoned. But I am surprised. Decay is here, certainly, and there is an air of neglect over many of the now-empty houses, but there is also beauty, and the potential for restoration.
Standing in the lowest circle – which is also the widest – I stare upwards, trying to see the entire city. But it is impossible; no one could take in the glory of Minas Tirith in a single look, no matter how long. Each time I move my eyes, I see something new in what I can see of each level; all seven of which are delved into the hills and surrounded by a wall.
I follow my guide through each level in turn, passing through the gates set into each wall. The road to the Citadel is meandering, and wanders to and fro, passing through a vast arched tunnel. At first glance it was the beauty of the city which held me captivated; now it is the people.
All manner of people wander the streets; flower sellers, silver-armoured warriors and healers clad in the pales blues that marked their calling. Markets lie in small squares throughout each level, and further stalls are squirreled away into the strangest spaces. Tearing my eyes away from a corner where, against all reason, a flower-girl has set up her display in the deepest shade, I return my eyes forward to see my guide's laughing gaze upon me.
"Your appreciation of our fair city is well, Sir, but I would close my mouth were I you, before something flies in!"
I grin, and consciously follow his friendly advice, but it is hard. A group of maidens passes us, then turns three-abreast into an alleyway that seems barely wide enough for one, and we in turn pass a small stand by the wayside where an old man sells roasted chestnuts – few people buy them, though, as they are, in the words on one indignant customer "Like little balls of charcoal!". We continue on our way with smiles.
The sounds of the city flow over me, so unlike the peaceful haven of Imladris – peaceful when the twins are away, that is! And though I am unused such noise and busyness, the sounds soothe rather than ruffle me, and the people calm my nerves. The noise of a thousand conversations and voices is chaotic, but some make themselves heard over the commotion;
"Roses, tulips, daffodils…"
"Fine silks, the thinnest cottons, the best quality…"
"The babe was born early, but you would not know it, big as he has grown…"
And, beneath the voices, there are the sounds of many feet walking the paths, the small fires that are set up in some stalls, the cheery songs of wandering singers, the 'clank' of armour as a soldier walks by, and the jingling of coins being exchanged all around.
A horn-call from ahead warns the people of an oncoming rider. We pull away from the centre walkway, leaving space for the horse, and press against the walls to make room. The harsh striking of hooves on the stones is unusual, so my guide tells me, for there are few horses in the White City; only those from the Sixth level which are kept for messengers.
Indeed, as the bay fairly flies past, I see the black and silver tunic of a messenger of the Steward of the City, and a dark leather bag slung across his chest. His haste seems strange to me; why any would hurry to leave this city I know not.
We pass the gate from fifth to sixth level, and my nervousness increases as I pass through this, but it does not prevent my close examination of the stables as we go by. At the gate to the seventh level, and thus the Citadel, are more guards than any other gate before but the first, and the interest paid to our intentions is more intense, but we are on legitimate business, and pass by unharmed.
I enter the seventh level of the city breathless – not with the length or speed of our journey, but with the amazement I feel. I pause for a moment, and stare longingly at the long battlement which allows those in the Citadel to stare down at a perfect view of the city. My guide notes my expression and, smiling, leads me to the edge.
"It will matter little if we take but a few moments more, to allow you to look."
I thank him, or at least, I think that I do, but I am unsure for all breath is taken from me as I glance over the edge and I am rooted to the spot. The White City is laid out before me in all its splendour, and I am lost in admiration for the long-ago builders, and awe for the sight.
When I entered, I feared that my years in Imladris, surrounded by elven beauty and culture, would have inured me to the charms of mortal building. Now I fear something far different; I fear that I have lost my heart to the White City.

Fall Century Ride
Riding against fierce headwinds on one section of the High Sierra Fall Century route and battling equipment problems along the way, the kids of Mammoth Mountain Ski Team all completed the High Sierra Fall Century bike ride last Saturday.
"We had a great, great time," said one of the teams' coaches, Kevin Francis. "One of them had a flat tire but got help from a couple of women riders, and one of them bonked, but we got some food into him and he finished the ride."
The kids ranged in age from 12 to 18, evenly split between boys and girls. They split into two teams, a fast group and a not-so fast group.

Champions Online Overview
Champions Online is a 3D superhero themed fantasy MMORPG set in Millennium City. The game used to be pay to play with a free trial, but officially went fully free to play with a cash shop and subscriber option on January 25, 2011. For gamers with a love for deep character customization and fast, smooth gameplay, the Champions Online is definitely a solid choice.
There are no classes in Champions Online; players are free to choose any power from any powerset to realize whatever vision they have in mind for their characters. These powers are organized into theme frameworks, which are listed below:
Might: Your standard super-strength powerset. For characters looking to imitate the biggest and the burliest heavy hitters, though your character need not appear large!
Munitions: A framework containing just about every conventional firearm imaginable, from rocket launchers, to gatling guns, to shotguns, to grenades, and to a number of very cool looking "gun kata" style dual pistol attacks.
Martial Arts: Choose from unarmed, claws, single blade, or dual blade within the martial arts frameworks, each with unique advantages.
Sorcery: From black magic to white magic, from primal sorcery to arcane sorcery, this set contains a great deal of unique attacks and area-centric buffs. Plus, the arcane bolts just look cool!
Supernatural: Whether you choose to be a chain-swinging demon with toxic breath, or a creepy creature with supernatural, shredding claws, this set is a grab-bag for every imaginable kind of weirdness.
Telepathy: Powerful crowd-control, the best heals in the game, and arguably the best AoE attack in the game. Telepathy has a number of solid powers to choose from!
Telekinesis: A thematic favorite, TK is a set for people who want to have psychic blades, a la Psylocke from X-men, or even a Protoss zealot from Starcraft. Some of the best melee damage in the game is in these powers!
Gadgeteering: Orbital cannons, laser guns, robot minions, photon mines, shrink rays, resurrection serums… gauntlet chainsaws? Yep. It's all here.
Power Armor: You are Iron Man. Just don't name yourself that. Make a suit of awesome powered armor and go nuts. Or make a lizard person that shoots missles out of their chest for some reason. The choice is yours!
Archery: A number of surprisingly high-tech looking bow attacks, from arrows with explosives tied to them, to arrows that explode in a pretty sphere of energy. All archery attacks can be used and charged while moving!
Energy Projection: From flinging flames, to ice bolts, to lightining bolts, or force bolts. It's all in these four powersets. Set stuff on fire, encase enemies in icy prisons, place forcefields on your allies, or just annihilate whole armies with columns of electricity.
Darkness: Summon clouds of fear, attack enemies with blasts of pure shadow, lick at your foes with dark tendrils, drain life, and create nether voids. This set pretty much speaks for itself.
Celestial: The consummate "healer" set, many of the attacks in Celestial are pretty balls and beams of light, which can either damage enemies or heal friends.

Champions Online Review
By B. Olivia
In October of 2009, Cryptic studios (known for being responsible for the creation of the City of Heroes/Villains franchise, also known as CoX) released a game highly anticipated among fans of CoX: Champions Online. Champions is known for a number of unique features, including an open power system, dazzling graphical capability, and arguably the best character creator of any current MMORPG. For anyone who loves tweaking builds, creating themed characters, and designing avatars to be whatever character is lurking around in your brain just waiting to be expressed, Champions is a ticket to genuine entertainment. Champions Online was originally released as a pay to play MMORPG with a free trial, but a new free-to-play option has been added on January 25th, 2011.
The first thing anyone will notice about ChO is the character creator. It's the first thing you're prompted to do, after selecting your two initial powers and starting stats. People new to super hero MMORPGs (of which there are only really three) will probably be completely overwhelmed by the character creator in Champions. There is nothing I can really say to someone to prepare them for this, except that just like playing the game itself, getting good at making characters in ChO takes practice. Like Perfect World, which also has an incredible character creation system, there are hundreds and hundreds of parts for every imaginable aspect of your character, from choosing eye types, sizes and gradients, to arm accessories, thigh accessories, leg types, tails, ears, nose or noseless, alien or demonic, it goes on and on and on! If you can imagine it, you can make it in this character creator. My main character is a tall, willowy techno-paladin from the future! She's so awesome. Half the fun of a game like Champions Online is being able to create a character you love and then being able to play as that character. Of course, you can't be complete without the proper powers…
Pick a Power! Any Power! (for money)
Paying players (those who subscribe monthly to become "Gold members") have complete control over how their character progresses. In Champions Online, you can pick any power in the game for your character. The various powers are organized into frameworks (telepathy, unarmed martial arts, supernatural claws, etc.), which are then organized by tiers (you can access the various power tiers depending on your level and the number of powers in a single framework already selected), but it's important to note that after a certain level (level 26) you are free to choose any power in the game, from any framework, regardless of tier. Do you want a martial artist dark sorcerer with a laser sword and a gun that turns people into teddy bears? Okay! Do you want a werewolf that attacks with claws and carries a gatling gun? Why not!
It's this open system, combined with the character creator, that has drawn so many people to Champions Online. When the game was pay to play with a trial, users could only play through the game's tutorial and had a level cap of 15. Now that the game is free to play users can fully explore the game and build their superhero the way they want to. One of the game's biggest strengths is its character growth system.
Supreme Stats! Archetypes!
On top of this, as if your customization wasn't enough already, players choose two "superstats", or characteristic focuses. At level 6 and level 13, you will be asked to choose a stat to focus on from the following list: strength, constitution, intelligence, recovery, dexterity, endurance, ego, and presence. Each stat offers unique secondary benefits, such as intelligence offering a power discount and cooldown reduction, or strength affecting your knockback strength and resistance as well as your ability to lift large objects. Whatever focus you choose, it determines how much damage you deal. So, this means that the character you've designed doesn't have to be tied to a specific stat depending on your power choices; your powers are fueled by whatever stat you please. Does your gun-toting paladin aim their shots using a combination of intuition and agility? Go with DEX/EGO! Does your magician cast spells, but also have a ton of HP and super strength? Go with STR/CON. No matter what, any gear pushing up your two stats increases your damage. This, in my opinion, is super cool.
Unfortunately, choosing your stats is only available to subscribers. If you're playing the game free-to-play, then you're going to be limited to locked in frameworks called archetypes. Archetypes can still be very effective, and you can choose how to enhance the powers you get, but the progression and stats are locked. To some people, this is actually a boon (plenty of people find the open power system overwhelming), and to others, it's maddening.
Ground to a Halt
The gameplay itself, as we've noted, is an epic blast. It is just plain satisfying to play this game; it's a smooth, action-packed experience. Watching your character effortlessly gun down and knock around enemies and shoot blasts and what have you is too much fun. On top of it all, simply creating new looks and new builds is a lot of fun, and can keep many people occupied for hours. Unfortunately, there is a limit to how entertaining Champions Online can be. Even over a year after release, and with a new area, two adventure packs and some revamping, Champions Online still feels like it's hurting for really engaging content for players to enjoy.
Once you slam into the level 40 cap, you'll find yourself wanting things to do. The game does have opportunities to get new and better gear through the adventure packs and high end instances, like Therakiel's Lair. You can also try these challenges on varying degrees of difficulty, alone or with friends, ranging from "normal" to "elite." If you're a completionist, and enjoy a challenge, trying to finish Therakiel's Lair on elite with a good team is a pretty good time, but it's very difficult. Unfortunately, with only a handful of major end-game areas to enjoy, Champions is in a content-void position. End-game gets boring, so the usual answer is alting, or PVP.
PVP – Friend… or foe?
PVP in Champions Online is a mixed bag. You're certainly not going to meet the greatest examples of sportsmanship and human decency doing PVP, but that's true of any online arena. PVP in Champions can actually be really fun – even I was able to get into it. Unfortunately, with such an open power system (unless you're PVPing in the archetype arena, which you will be, if you're playing this for free) things can get imbalanced relatively easily. Players will find the most effective, brainless way to dominate, and that is what they will do. There are multiple "builds" that can work in PVP, but making them requires a great deal of creativity and dedication. The rewards for PVP are marginal and not nearly as good or easy to obtain as the PVE rewards, making PVP and dueling more of a fun change of pace, rather than a legitimate end-game focus. This may change over time.
Final Verdict: Great
While some people may be irritated that they have to pay in order to be a true "Freeform" character, others will be very pleased with the addition of archetypes. Playing Champions for free is a surprisingly full experience, and your character's progression is still fairly customizable. You can also purchase additional, fancier archetypes from the C-store, or cooler travel powers. As far as free titles go, Champions Online: Free for All is a great game. Just don't upgrade to gold status… once you get a taste of full, freeform customization, you might never be able to go back to the archetypes.

Legend: Legacy of the Dragons
Legend: Legacy of the Dragons Overview
Legend: Legacy of the Dragons is a browser based MMORPG set in the fantasy realm of Faeo. Two powerful nations, the human-like Ogriy and the darker Khair, vie for control but newcomers from both follow largely the same progression path. The game has a mix between still images used for towns & other areas and animations used during turn based combat encounters. Players start off nearly naked and must follow a series of quests to aquire armor, a weapon, and enough experience to venture into the world alone. Copper, silver, and gold coins form the main currencies of the game but Rubies and Diamonds must be purchased with real cash either with PayPal or SMS.

Legend: Legacy of the Dragons Full Review
By, Erhan Altay
Legend: Legacy of the Dragons is the lengthy title of a new browser based MMORPG by Astrum Online Entertainment. Browser games like this are big in Europe and it should come as no surprise that this one is hosted in Germany, though it remains open to international users. Legacy of Dragons mixes a text & image based interface with turn based combat that takes place in separate, animated battle scenes. The result is simple MMORPG filled with quests and PvP centered gameplay.
Connect With an Empire
Like most new browser games coming out these days, Legacy of the Dragons allows players to use Facebook Connect and skip the registration phase completely. The old fashioned registration process itself is short and only requires inputting an email address, which doesn't even need to be verified. After registration, players must choose between two warring factions. The People of Ogriy can be thought of as the 'good' guys while the Nation of Khair looks more sinister. Ogriy men and women have fairer skin and features while the Khair are darker and have what appears to be lava coursing through their veins. Appearance customization is impressive for a browser game, players can chose between several face styles, skin tones, hair colors, and haircuits. A 'random' feature is available for those who want to get on with it and don't much care for looks. Oddly, all characters start out wearing nothing but underwear which is a bit odd since players go into battle and even talk to NPCs before ever acquiring clothes.
You Absorb The Blow!
After character creation, players are given the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the game's interface and combat through a long battle that can't be lost. Combat in Legacy of the Dragons takes place in small screens to the left hand side of the interface. On the right side, players can view a complete list of all participants in the battle. In most fights, there will be multiple participants on both sides, players working together or with NPC allies against either a horde of monsters or other players. To make things simple, all players need to worry about during the tutorial is choosing where to strike their opponent. The game allows characters to swing upward, towards the middle, or low. Striking in different patterns has a chance of producing combos or dealing bonus damage depending on the type of enemy being fought. Fortunately, the first battle is rigged in the player's favor, they'll absorb all incoming damage and be left unscratched. After this affair, players will get a chance to explore the interface in Legacy of the Dragons. Towns and other areas are composed to still images connected to each other by links. Clicking on a gate, for example, will move players towards the city square from which they can venture outside or into other areas of town. This is far from a full persistent world but when you consider the sheer size of the world map and diversity of areas, it's still pretty impressive.
Text Based Questing
As with most MMORPGs, the first few quests include a mix of simple delivery and kill quests. The first kind is simple enough; players are expected to find a particular NPC by using the Navigation feature and world map. Making your way around the world of Faeo, as it is know, can be confusing at first. It took me a few minutes to realize the map can be placed side-to-side with the main interface and that highlighting a region on the map would make it blink on the list of available locations to the right. If players find themselves lost or wandering blind, it's safe to say they're doing something wrong since the navigation systems are quite helpful. In fact, their usefulness takes away any sense of exploration. I found myself simply moving from one region to the next without paying any attention to the areas I was traveling across. Even early level quests involve a bit of traveling which is made frustrating by a 30-40 waiting period imposed after traveling from zone to zone. Obviously this was meant as a means of preventing botting or automated play but I can't see its effectiveness.
Hunting in the Wild
The other main quest type involves hunting. As the tutorial quests explain, players can transition to the hunting section of their current zone by hitting the 'Hunting' button on the top of the interface which looks like a bear's face. This button takes players to an overhead screen with various NPCs wandering around below. Clicking the desired target with activate combat which takes place in a separate screen as experienced earlier. Fights are straight forward enough; combatants take turns exchanging blows until one side is wiped out. A results screen provides statistics after each battle and is logged for later viewing. As players complete quests, they will be rewarded with various armor and weapons. Most items have level requirements which put them out of reach for beginners. Leveling is slower in Legacy of Dragons than in most games but with a relatively low max level (15), it all evens out. The turn based gameplay in Legacy of Dragons is quite unique; it does share some similarities with combat in AdventureQuest and Aurora Blade but offers much more realistic visuals than those two animated games.
Arenas, Battlefields, and Great Battles, Oh My!
As is the case with most browser games, Legend: Legacy of the Dragons has plenty of PvP features. Besides standard duels which take place in the arena, players can participate in group battles in special battlefield zones. Two groups of equal size and level, each representing their nation, can fight to earn valor points and new ranks. By Ranking up, players earn rewards that can be claimed at the Arsenal located in either the Foothills (Ogriy) or the Hell's Pass (Khair.) Not surprisingly, these two nations are often referred to as 'Human' and 'Magmars' on several sections of the website. As a foreign game in the free to play market, it almost goes without saying that Legacy of the Dragons suffers from some translation problems. The final and most interesting PvP option is referred to as 'Great Battles.' These are normal battlefield fights that happen to escalate to beyond 10 participants on each side. When this occurs, the fight is upgraded to a Great Battle and it becomes easier for others to join in. If the number of participants reaches 100, it becomes an 'Epic Battle' and finally a 'Slaughter' if 400 fighters are enlisted. Besides increased valor rates, these large scale fights reward special reputation.
Inviting Hand
Most browser games thrive on their community and Legend: Legacy of the Dragons does a good job at fostering an inviting atmosphere. Volunteer mentors can usually be found online in the chat channels to assist beginners. One even called out my name and asked if I needed help with anything. The mentor system, along with a game guide, FAQ, and forum located on the official site are valuable assets for beginners. No browser game would be complete without a referral system and Legacy of the Dragons has one which offers players diamonds and rubies if the players they invite eventually spend money on the game. The two premium currencies have identical functions so far as I can tell though they are obtained differently and have different values. The less valuable Rubies are purchased with SMS (text messages) while Diamonds are purchased via PayPal, Moneybookers, credit cards, or other more common methods.
Final Verdict: Good
Legend: Legacy of the Dragons mixes animated turn-based battles effectively with a largely text & image based game. Immersion takes a hit but the sheer size of the game world and the clean interface make up for this. Legacy of the Dragons suffers from many of the faults common in browser MMORPGs and while it won't win many fans over to the genre, current players should definitely check it out.

GRADES: W, WA, WU, WN Grades
Hunter has four types of grades of withdrawal: W, WA, WU, and WN. There may be serious academic and financial consequences associated with course withdrawal. Discuss your situation with an Advisor in the Office of Student Services, 1119 East Building or in the Office of Financial Aid, 241 North Building.
W (Official Withdrawal)
You may withdraw officially with a grade of W between the third week of classes and the first day of the tenth week of classes. The official deadline date for each semester and summer term is published in the academic calendar. After the deadline, a withdrawal will be recommended by the Office of Student Services only when it is clear that you have compelling reasons, (e.g., medical emergency, and adequate documentation, such as a formal letter from healthcare provider.) In such cases, you must submit formal verification of your last date of class attendance from your instructor(s). For more information, download Late Course Withdrawal Guidelines (PDF).
WA (Administrative Withdrawal)
If you have failed to comply with all immunization requirements, the WA grade will be assigned to each course for which you are registered. See Health Services for immunization information and forms.
WU (Unofficial Withdrawal)
If you have ceased to participate in a course but have not withdrawn officially, you shall be deemed to have withdrawn unofficially. Evidence of unofficial withdrawal includes failure to attend class meetings for at least four weeks consecutively through the end of the semester (the last day of classes); failure over this period to meet any course requirements; and failure to attend the final examination. The WU, by CUNY regulations, is equivalent to a grade of F.
WN (Never Attended)
If you never attended a given class, and not withdrawn officially, the WN grade will be assigned.
For more information about course withdrawal and grades of W, WA, and WU, visit the Registrar on-line, or consult the Hunter College Undergraduate Catalog.
