The new shoes are much bigger, length and width, and do not fit as good as the 940. I do not understand why they have to change the shoes.

Maybe it is fine for a 20 year old. Everybody is different, but when I can no longer pick up and put down my foot because my running shoe is too heavy, I should probably stop running. My plea: Please stop with the lighter already! I want structure, support, and durability. Giving the 1340 a try."

Hi: 9° Lo:1°
By Laura Payne Tuesday 18 December 2012 Updated: 07/01 15:03
A WOMAN whose house was badly damaged when a car crashed into it last year is calling for action to be taken to stop lorries travelling through the village.
Molly Bartlett from Hampton in Arden is angry about the number of lorries travelling through the village on the B4102.
Her calls come after a lorry crashed into the wall around the churchyard and hit a telegraph pole that had wires attached to a house which caused tiles to fall from the roof onto the pavement.
No-one was injured but Mrs Bartlett believes it was a close call and it was lucky no pedestrians were walking there at the time.
She told the Observer: "Why do lorries come through here - it's not a major road.
"I contacted Solihull Council and sent photos to them as there have been several accidents and I believe it should be a restricted road.
"They put flashing warning signs up after the car crashed into my house last year and I think it's made a bit of difference, but why are lorries coming through here?"
Coun Ted Richards, the council's for transport and highways, said they carried out a number of improvements to the road after the car crashed into Mrs Bartlett's house and they will continue to monitor the situation.
He said: "Whilst we appreciate residents' concerns we would point out that Solihull Road, the High Street and Meriden Road all form part of the classified road network and provide valuable access to the local area around Hampton-in-Arden.
"Therefore, even if a Traffic Regulation Order was to be introduced to prevent HGVs from using the B4102 within the area, access would still need to be maintained."
Damage to the churchyard wall can clearly be seen. (s)

During the training of the Army, Navy, Marine Corp and Air Force photography students they are introduced to the ISO-Aperature-Shutter Speed of their equipment and how the three are interrelated. Then they are handed a D300 and a 50 1.8 along with a shot list and sent out on post to accomplish that list with no further instruction. This means they spend a large part of the first phase with camera in hand and shots to get but not being told the right or wrong way (which I'm not sure I believe exists) to take the picture.
One of the things that is almost over-emphasized is changing your POV. Just standing on something or laying on the ground can sometimes give you that oomph from ordinary to extraordinary. Those are the things we learn. The creativity is something you develop and to what extent really depends on how much you are willing to open yourself up.
I keep thinking about those 3d prints that you had to learn to relax your eyes to see. That was a learned response that allowed your mind to see something that wasn't there before. That's sort of how I think learning to be creative is. You just need a new way to see and it's all about finding your own way to see. I know I've read it somewhere and I have a friend that also told me about it; he said to try holding your camera upside down or at a 45 degree angle and then crop out a good photo in post. The task leaves you looking at your photos differently and you'll often find things that you didn't realize were there.

To the original point, I think the eye is something that develops over time, for everyone. Experience is a huge part of being good at anything (especially something that's both technically AND creatively demanding).
I'm going to go ahead and say something that might sound pretentious, but I'm really not an egomaniac. When I first started doing serious photography, I was coming up with some interesting stuff, but looking back on it, I'm WAY better now than I was. Even just looking at the portfolio I got into grad school on ... night and day from the way I shoot now.JamieDePould.com + OneYearPhoto.com

Please read the rules before posting a critique thread. Rules here.
this is something i've wondered about too.
when i was using my powershot, i gradually learned more and more about the camera, what it could do, what it couldn't, i used it to death, and as time went by my images improved, i don't think they were ever great, but my creativity improved for sure, and that was because of the confidence i had using it.
now that i've moved to a DSLR i find myself thinking that i suck again, forgetting of course that i once felt the same way with my compact.
talent is one thing, you either have it or you don't, but as someone said, it's only a head start.
Thankyou everybody for your reply. I've been a while responding but I've really enjoyed reading each entry. Autofocus I think you broke my heart with your first sentence so I didn't respond for a while hahaha. But I got over it with time!
So in the end I think I have come to accept that I will never be a brilliant photographer - certainly I don't have the knack for those stunnning street photography shots (which is the type of photography I love the most, and I suspect where creative talent has the most effect). I am more than capable in other areas, I am decent at portraiture, and I love everything about photography and really enjoy it. So perhaps I should stop expecting unrealistic results, and just put my head down and work!
Thanks everyone for your thoughts.
Just like me?
I teach math and am very logical... i.e. I've had a hard time with "creativity" for most of my life. Most of what I do has some element of imitation to it. My advice is to accept imitation and just see what you can take. As I've learned how things work, I'm slowly taking more interesting photographs that are "mine."
You mentioned books. I've been reading Michael Freeman's The Photographer's Mind, and I already plan to read The Photographer's Eye (granted that's out of order but I blame Barnes and Noble for having them in that order on the shelf). He does a good job of taking photos apart and explains why photos are interesting, some of which are interesting to me and some of which I'm left scratching my head. Regardless, i can now "see" the many different aspects of a good photo.Nikon D5000, 18-250mm Sigma, 50mm f/1.8 Nikon

So now, instead of one slightly off topic post that didn't really contribute to the OP, there were 5. I've deleted them all because this is a potentially useful/interesting thread that doesn't deserve to be be hijacked which happened as soon as you responded Vincent.
To everyone - contribute or report..sound good? I'm going to start coming down on this sort of stuff, yeah?
PS. for the record, he deleted his own post.
This was a very good question and brings up a whole lot of good thought and discussion. I agree with the people who have said we are all born with some kind of creativity....when we are babies we don't give a toss about what is "right" or the conventional wisdom or what other people say, we like what we LIKE, dammit and if you disagree, we ...will...CRY until you shut up.
It seems like most societies spend most of our childhoods trying to teach us to ignore our creativity...the sky is always blue, the grass is always green and a house has two windows and a door and a chimney, draw it that way to get the best grade. Part of learning to be a photographer or painter or writer or any kind of artist is to get back in touch with that inner creative voice we have spent years ignoring and trying to shut up in order to get the best grade, aka approval.
So can it be taught? No more then someone can be taught to love, or to dance....we already know how inside ourselves and we just need to learn not give a toss about what is "right" and if anyone disagrees we need...to...CRY (or the equivalent).
Regarding Praline's concept of going out with her camera on P and shooting crazy subjects just for the fun of it...that is a great idea. I know a lot of people tend to look down on the dreaded Auto or P settings but I think they are great. Several times already I have looked at something I shot on Auto then gone back to reshoot it using Av or Tv to get the exact look I wanted, inspired by that previous image and the potential I saw in it.Prints available through PI Creative Arts.

I believe that it can be learned, absolutely. It's going to come at different speeds for different people, and your teacher is going to matter a lot. As I see it, if you were to graph a learning curve, you'd find that people with talent just have a natural boost on that learning curve - so some people don't have to work very hard to learn it, others really have to work at it.
It's tough because I think we have to answer the question "what exactly is a creative eye?" Composition can certainly be learned, how to control a camera can be learned. Herein lies the dilemma - creativity itself isn't just a photographic thing, learning a creative eye means learning creativity and applying it to composition. That's often hard in our world for reasons stated above. Children are amazing at lateral thinking, alternate possibilities, infinite answers, most adults have spent a long time being taught there is only one answer. Creativity is shown in several studies to be a lower metric in adults. Often times to be creative, it's simply asking "what if" and trying it, or "I always do it this way, let's try something else".
I think learning creativity is best by doing, you have to create things, and creativity is so often stifled. When it comes to photography, how uncommon is it to hear "That's not a good photograph, the foreground is out of focus, the angle is all off" These compositional rules and formal artistic structural paradigms and graphic language / and grammar are partly against creativity. Just as language itself is. - for example; "Pink and numbers purple bigger world is than to think the fly Horatio cat was?" Nonsense, right? Is there creativity there? Can one create a poem without being creative? Is the act of making a poem itself creative? (let's not even try to answer how creative is it?)
However, we can see from the nonsensical example above that without the vocabulary and grammar, we would likely spew nonsense no matter how creative we are perhaps (and maybe occasionally writing shakespeare). we have to learn the formal so that we can use it to put forth more complex ideas, and then we can find a sense of whimsy, we can instill the meaning we desire. We have to learn not only to be creative, but to be creative under constraint. This is why we hear so often, in so many things, that we must learn the rules before we can break them. (And so I could spew nonsense knowingly)
So I say to those who want to learn a creative eye, to learn about formal visual language, to study images, composition, symbolism. That's where the grammar is. To learn the vocabulary - you've got to learn to see, to really take time and observe - go out into the world without a camera, with ear plugs, find places, and look at what is there, pay attention to where your eye goes. Anyone can learn a second language. A lot of people will begin with "Hello" In photography the basic greeting seems to be "I saw this" or "cute" (And that's why we see so many cat and flower photographs)
I'd suggest that a creative eye in photography is really more than just creativity, it's the ability to speak with imagery. It's a language. Some people may have a hard time, and may give up, thinking "they just can't do it". I'd even go so far as to say some people may have a negative talent, that puts them so far behind that the learning curve is nearly nigh insurmountable, but in the end it comes down to individual will. If you have the will to see through and practice, you will learn. That will is key to learning. It may take time and patience, and like language - the more you speak, the more fluent you become. The more you photograph, the more fluent your eye will become.

I took my first photography class this past Saturday. Besides all the technical information I came out of the class with a quote from the instructor really stuck with me.
You have a nice camera, take pictures of everything.
Do that and eventually youll start to see what make a great image.

I don't like Unity, so I use the GNOME Classic session.
The package is 'gnome-session-fallback'.
Phoronix: Ubuntu's Unity Decision Affects 2D Performance Too
Last week I delivered OpenGL/3D benchmarks of Ubuntu 12.10 when comparing the performance of the default Unity desktop to the now-defunct Unity 2D environment. Canonical's decision to kill Unity 2D means that for those now forced to use the Compiz-based Unity may experience lower frame-rates, high power consumption with Unity-over-LLVMpipe, and other differences. Additional testing has shown how Unity is affecting the 2D graphics performance.
I don't like Unity, so I use the GNOME Classic session.
The package is 'gnome-session-fallback'.
i think we're exagerating a bit .. unity 3d is doing quite well in those benchmarks .. equalling and performing better in certain areas and equalling performing not so well in others .. personally unity 2d has never been the saviour for mine and much slower systems as everyone cracks it up to be .. the performance was the same if the graphics could support 3d drawing .. so we can't assume anything to get some real info on the LLVMpipe'd Unity 3D .. i'm sure there will be a drop in performance, but as far as these benchmarks show, with the added ability to support 1 DE over 2 seperate ones i'm sure optimization will be able to be done on a far better level than either Unity 2d or Unity 3d can do seperately .. Unity 2d isn't useless by any means, i just think that instead of Unity 2d developers always having to play catch up with new unity specs, they can actually work on one code base and do what they do best .. and thats make Ubuntu feel less bloated
Don't care. It's fast enough and with compositing it means it has to render 2d less. So it more then evens out in most cases.
Some^W Most of those results look mighty strange, and it would be hard to make any judgements based on them. An alternative look at IVB GT2 with SNA and gnome-shell is here: http://openbenchmarking.org/result/1...SU-1208209SU05. I had some UXA results as well to compare, but alas I am still waiting for those to upload.
What's the point of comparing the llvmpiped version of Unity with Unity 2D on such a powerful and modern system? No one would have used Unity 2D on that system, anyway.
Come back with some Pentium M results and we'll talk.
You're saying that it's completely impossible for somebody to actually _prefer_ not to run Unity 3d if their machine is capable of it. I'm here to prove you wrong, my machine is well able to run Unity 3d, yet I don't.

(CNN) — Retired Col. George "Bud" Day was the "bravest man I ever knew," Sen. John McCain said Sunday of the war hero with whom he shared a cell as a prisoner in North Vietnam.
Day, a highly decorated serviceman who was awarded the Medal of Honor in 1976, died Saturday at age 88 in Florida, according to CNN affiliate WJHG-TV in Panama City.
"I owe my life to Bud, and much of what I know about character and patriotism," McCain, an Arizona Republican, said in a statement. "His fierce resistance and resolute leadership set the example for us in prison of how to return home with honor."
Forced to eject from his F-100 military aircraft above North Vietnam in 1967, Day -- whose arm was broken in three places -- was captured by North Vietnamese forces and interrogated.
He managed to escape 10 days later, trekking through the jungle toward South Vietnam. But after wandering for days and unsuccessfully attempting to signal U.S. aircraft, he was eventually recaptured by enemy forces.
The citation for his Medal of Honor notes Day offered "maximum resistance" to enemy interrogators during his 5 1/2 years in captivity, much of it inside the notorious "Hanoi Hilton."
"His personal bravery in the face of deadly enemy pressure was significant in saving the lives of fellow aviators who were still flying against the enemy," the citation read.
The injuries Day sustained to his arms never fully recovered. McCain, whose aircraft was shot down over Hanoi two months after Day's, suffered similar injuries during his time as a prisoner of war.
Day was a supporter and surrogate for McCain's 2000 and 2008 presidential bids, and in 2004 he appeared in television ads produced by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the group created to attack 2004 Democratic nominee John Kerry's military service record.
Born in Sioux City, Iowa, in 1925, Day was a Marine in the North Pacific during World War II and later was an Army Reservist before joining the Air Force in 1951.

the nye champagne index
It's an age old dilemma, "Which bottle of bubbly should I pop when the clocks strike 12 on New Year's Eve?" There are a lot of factors to take into consideration — not to mention the variety of options. But like most major decisions, it boils down to money. Sure a $5 jug of brut exists, but will you pay for it in headaches the next day?
With your wallet and well-being in mind, we've broken down the best selection of champagne on the market by price tag in order to help you choose the perfect vintage to have chilling in your ice box for tomorrow night.
the damage: $6 on sale – Cook's is always on sale
who and where: Yes, it's regarded as the best cheap champagne out there, but unless you still live in a dorm room, we suggest you throw down a little extra to celebrate – New Years doesn't happen everyday. For those of you in dorm rooms, go for it! Just remember the drinking age is 21.
the damage: $17
who and where: Hipsters, fashionistas, mods, and indie royalty – basically anyone who's ever considered faking an English accent and wouldn't be caught dead in Sears. A light, refreshing prosecco – Italy's answer to champagne — this bottle scores points for taste and design. And you can't go wrong with "Martini" on the label.
Leclerc-Briant Champagne Cuvee Extra Brut
the damage: $30
who and where: The name alone is exciting. The bottle is clean and chic and anything "extra" for thirty bucks is a score. The sparkling libation is just right for a small, chic dinner party, especially when paired with rich desserts.
Moet & Chandon "Imperial" Champagne (formerly known as White Star)
the damage: $35
who and where: This bottle is perfect for those of us who are finally making enough to open a savings account. Sure, you may only be stashing away a ten spot a month, but you've got big plans and busting the cork on this bubbly says so. In fact, not only does this vintage boast a delicate, peachy taste, it's packed with confidence, so much that Moet & Chandon knew they could change it's name without losing it's fans base. Now that's gutsy.
the damage: $55
who and where: For lovers, artists, romantics and anyone else who's not afraid of pink alcohol. A tried and true classic, this bottle works in settings as diverse as Swiss bungalows, tiny bistros or a decked-out home kitchen.
the damage: $75
who and where: If you're willing to shell out 75 big ones, you might as well share the wealth. Make it a crowd scene, but gently suggest invitees bring a little something as well. When the ball drops make sure you're the one who pops the top on this one – and takes the first sip.
the damage: $160
who and where: Possibly the most famous name in champagne, we don't need to explain why Dom Perignon is on our list. If you've had it before, you know it's worth drinking again. If this is your first time, make sure your bank balance can handle the hangover.
Armand de Brignac "Ace of Spades" Brut Champagne
the damage: $250 large
who and where: The pricey bottle of champers du jour — the Ace of Spades will set you back a pretty penny. But if you've got plans to spend NYE with Jay-Z and Beyoncé, or anyone of that ilk, then by all means — indulge.
Remember: As a rule tartelettes are prepared for anything and always drink responsibly.
The author will be drinking Martini & Rossi Prosecco tomorrow night, and yes, she has considered faking an English accent at least once in her life.

Rakion Overview
Rakion is a fantasy game but focuses on fast paced action rather than the typical RPG grind. Rakion has a lobby where players can host or join rooms hosted by others. There are 5 pre set characters to chose from, each with ranged and melee attack modes and a different distribution of six key stats. There are also six game modes ranging from free for all to cooperative dungeon stages where players must fight their way through hordes of AI controlled enemies. Below is a short description of the game's five classes, for more on Rakion please read the full review:
Warrior - Warriors use a longsword in close combat and throwing knives from a distance. They are considered the most balanced class and make an ideal choice for beginners.
Archer - Archers are equipped with a gladius which is useful in melee combat but the archer's specialty is firing her bow from a distance. She has the most powerful ranged attack in the game.
Blacksmith - Blacksmiths are large, powerful characters armed with a giant war hammer and throwing axes. They may move slow but pack the greatest punch.
Ninja - Ninjas are armed with a jitte, which is a fast dagger like weapon. They fire shurikens from afar and have powerful combo attacks.
Mage - Though they have a staff and wand to stave off opponents, Mages are the most fragile class. They posses powerful spells that can freeze enemies and inflict heavy damage.

Rakion Review
By Erhan Altay
Originally developed by the Korean studio NetCraft back in 2005, Rakion has since been operated by a different Korean company called Softnyx. Veterans of free gaming should be familiar with the name Softnyx, the original publisher of Gunbound and current publisher of the MMO FPS WolfTeam. Rakion may be several years old but for a game that's only 400 mb large, it still has decent graphics and fluid gameplay.[SinglePic not found]
Ninjas and Blacksmiths!?
Rakion is more of an action game than a RPG so I can't fault it too much for its lack of character customization. Players simply select one of the five available classes and are ready to go, no hair styles or outfits to fiddle around with. Even the gender of the classes are locked; Warriors, Blacksmith and Mages are male while Ninjas and Archers are female. Each class has a different distribution of six key stats; Attack, Speed, Defense, Grip, Creature, and Rage. The play style of each character varies significantly, I found the mage clumsy to control but had a much easier time with the Ninja. Be sure to pick the character type that matches your play style and you shouldn't have much trouble.
I often recommend new players to complete tutorials whenever available. This has less to do with learning the game mechanics than it does with the rewards that are usually given out at the end. Rakion's optional tutorial has no such incentives. What's worse, the tutorial itself is incredibly slow paced and takes far longer to complete than it should. I was jumping around in circles waiting for the sluggish game text to give me my next set of objectives for most of the time. To save you a bit of time, I'll go over each of the steps covered in the tutorial. Firstly, movement in Rakion is done through the keyboard with the mouse controlling the camera and attacks (left click.) The mouse wheel allows you to zoom in, shift is your block key and the space bar causes your character to jump.[SinglePic not found]
Hack 'n Slash
All characters have two attack modes; a melee and ranged attack. Hitting 'q' will switch between modes but be careful, it takes a moment to make the switch leaving you vulnerable to enemy attacks. The melee attack is usually repeatable for short combo attacks, the number of combos varies by class — the Ninja can make 5-6 attacks while the Mage can only make 2-3. The potency of ranged attacks also varies by class with the Archer having by far the most effective one. The Mage's fireball lob is also powerful but most of the rest are weak and rarely worth using. There are two special components to combat in Rakion; pet (also called cell) summoning and rage mode. When a small bar at the bottom right fills, pressing 'c' will activate a special rage mode for a short time. Each character transforms into something different during rage mode but suffice it to say all are very powerful. Creature summoning is explained in the tutorial but very poorly. Players are told to hit 1, 2, or 3 to summon the appropriate pet appearing below the character status bar on the top left but are not told that they must hold ctrl as well. So the proper way to summon creatures is ctrl + 1, 2 or 3. Summons come in many forms, some call forth single powerful monsters while others bring forth a swarm of weaker creatures.[SinglePic not found]
Work Together
Rakion has a cooperative 'stage' game mode where you can fight against AI controlled monsters alone or as part of a team. There are in total 59 stages that vary in difficulty, level requirements and maximum party size. These stages can be entertaining and are a good way for beginners to gain some experience. I would suggest beginners scroll down the list of available stages and find one that can be played alone, the game's low population make it difficult to find others to play stage games with. Even with some solo play features, Rakion is a competitive game that only shines when playing against other players. Luckily there are far more variations in the competitive game modes. There are a total of 4 competitive game modes, some of which will be familiar to FPS veterans.[SinglePic not found]
Fight it Out
Death Match and Team Death Match pit players against each other to see who (or which team) can get the required number of kills first. In Boss War, one player on each team is designated as the Boss or VIP, if he dies the game ends. The objective being to kill the other team's boss before they kill yours. The final mode and the most unique one is called Golem War. Each team has a Master Golem which serves the same function as the Boss in Boss mode but is significantly stronger than other players. Somewhere on the map is an AI controlled Golden Golem, only the player who slays the Golden Golem can deal significant damage to the opposing team's Master Golem. Additionally, players do not respawn when killed in Golem War matches. Players gain additional stat points either by leveling or through the cash shop but an optional 'basic mode' can be applied to a match so that all players are treated as level 1. This is similar to the 'avatar off' channels in Gunbound.[SinglePic not found]
Of Lag and Shops
The biggest faults with Rakion are the persistent lag and balance issues. Like many lobby based games, all players in a room are actually connected through a peer-to-peer network rather than through any official server. If one player in a room has a bad connection or is geographically very distant from any of the others it messes things up for everyone. An auto kick feature is implemented but this is usually counterproductive. I've been kicked from rooms even though I don't lag simply because someone who joined before me has high a high ping with me. There are separate servers for many geographic locations; USA/Canada, Africa, Europe, Middle East, Australia, etc but most of the servers are empty meaning if anyone in those locations wants to play, they will simply jump onto the American or European servers and cause lag regardless.
The game's cash shop is another common complaint. Like in most free to play games, players can purchase items with either in game currency or real money, with the real money items being more powerful. In Rakion, players can purchase additional stat boosts which make the difference between a free player and a paying player more and more pronounced each level. Towards the higher levels, it becomes very difficult for someone who wants to play completely free to compete. This isn't a problem if you play with friends though and since the game's population is not very impressive, there aren't many hard core players to compete with anyway.
Final Verdict – Fair
Rakion is a small, simple game that still manages to have enough content to entertain. Anyone who's looking for a mix of fantasy and action gaming should give it a try. Its age, technical issues, and slow leveling make it a difficult recommendation for the average gamer.

Xiah Rebirth
Xiah Rebirth Overview
The graphic and interface style in Xiah Rebirth is reminiscent of old-school action RPGs that littered the market in the early 1990′s -but Xiah is anything but action packed. Movement feels sluggish and combat is repetitive and predictable. All players start in the same city, receive quests automatically each level and explore the (small) game world as they level up. Interestingly, there is a base level, a 'Fame' level and a separate experience meter that fills to reward players with skill points. Xiah is a simple game with no appearance customization options. Creating a character consists solely of selecting one of four classes:
Sword Man - (male) The Sword Man uses sword and blade weapons to deal damage at melee range. They posses many defensive abilities that make them useful tanks.
Ghost Fighter - (male) The rogue class of Xiah, Ghost Fighters battle with talon and tonfa weapons. Their ability to use poison and move quickly make them deadly opponents.
Mage - (female) The only pure spellcaster of the group, Mages are frail but deadly from a distance. Aside from casting offensive spells, they can heal, buff, and even summon monsters to aid them in combat. Their weapons of choice include the fan and the brush.
Warrior - (male) Warriors are the most powerful class with melee weapons. Wielding either a claw or axe, Warriors can deal heavy damage but are slower than the other classes.

Xiah Rebirth Review
By Erhan Altay
Xiah Rebirth is just one of many old MMORPGs that are still supported by publishers here in the North American market. Games like Xiah, Cronous, and Darkeden are all past their prime, but still have small followings. Whether it's nostalgia or the simple gameplay that draw people to these aging games, I can't say. All I know is that Xiah Rebirth is a poor game that, despite its age, still has dozens of bugs, glitches and grammar errors which lead me to believe even the publisher, Games Campus, doesn't take it seriously.
What Class am I?
Games Campus has one of the sleekest websites of any free MMORPG publisher, so new players may be forgiven for having high expectations going in. Once launched, it doesn't take long to realize how limited Xiah Rebirth really is. There is a single live server with three channels, the third acting as the open PvP channel. Each account has three character slots, but with only four classes in total this should be enough. Character creation involves scrolling through four avatars; three males and one female. Each avatar represents one of the game's four classes; Sword Man, Warrior, Mage, and Ghost Fighter. Oddly, Xiah Rebirth doesn't feel obliged to inform players which avatar represents which class. It isn't difficult to figure out that the big brutish guy is the warrior, that the elegantly dressed woman is the mage, and the sneaky, shadowy man is the ghost fighter (rogue), and that the man that looks like a knight is the sword man, but every game should clearly label the class choices. For more info on each class, take a look at the overview tab. The only thing worth mentioning here is that new players should avoid the mage class, as it is dependent and much weaker early on.
Lost in Time
New players start the game in a map called Prairie Area, which consists of a town and a few low level monsters on the outskirts. While there is no formal tutorial, players receive game tips each level informing them on what monsters to hunt. Xiah has standard point and click movement, but the camera is a bit awkward. To rotate the camera, players must move the pointer to the left or right edge of the screen rather than holding right click and pivoting the camera freely. The W,A,S,D keys are also used to rotate the camera and the mouse wheel zooms in and out. The interface menus such as the character and inventory screen look very primitive. Similarly, the graphics in general look out dated and bland. In grassy areas the ground is a uniform shade of green, character models are blocky, and attack animations are simplistic. Poor graphics are excusable for old games, but glitches that get you stuck on corners and fences are not. The fact that it's still possible to get stuck on a wall or bridge is proof that the developers stopped caring about the game long ago.
Behind Door Number One…
For those who can look past the dated graphics, the next step is to make it out of town and into a hunting zone. There are two portals that lead away from the starting zone but the game never specifies which new player should take. I gambled and went north only to find myself in a high level map where I was promptly killed in one hit by the first monster I found. After resurrecting and heading to the other portal I entered the zone where I would be spending much of my game time. If you made it this far you've already seen about a third of Xiah Rebirth's game world. There are literally only nine maps in this game, with at least one consisting of nothing but a town. But, don't be alarmed – the few zones that are available are put to good use. The level cap is well above 100 and the experience rate slows down considerably after the first few levels. One of the most constant complaints veterans make to the publisher is the slow experience rate, which can only be sped up with cash shop items.
Quest While Grind
For those willing to put in the effort, there is at least the consultation of frequent quests to complete. Each level new quests will automatically be received with their objectives clearly spelled out. Generally, quest text is coherent compared to much of Xiah's other attempts at the written English language. Even the 'create' button during character creation is misspelled! Most quests simply ask the player to kill a certain number of a monster, but many of the early ones involve interacting with NPCs. One quest asked me to repair an item (via the blacksmith) while another just wanted me to talk to a certain NPC back in town. I usually don't mind this sort of quest since they're easy experience, but Xiah Rebirth caused me to hesitate mainly because of the sluggish movement speed. I really have no intelligent explanation of why characters move so slowly in Xiah. The only consolation is that monsters move even slower. It's almost laughably easy to out run monsters. If a fight doesn't seem to be going your way, just turn around, take a few steps and the monster will have forgotten about you.
Martial Arts
I've talked about many of the game's weaknesses because they are so evident, but it does get a few things right. The skill system, aptly titled 'Martial Arts' gives players quite a few ways to grow their characters. Killing monsters not only levels up a player's base level but also fills a small yellow bar located under the experience meter. Every time this smaller bar fills, the player is rewarded with a skill point. These skill points can be distributed a number of ways. All characters have four skill branches; Hard Force (activated skills/spells), Soft Force (passive skills), Five Elements, and Rebirth Martial Arts. Skills have minimum level and stat requirements so be sure to take a look at them before distributing your stat points. Xiah has four basic but effective stats; Strength (damage), Stamina (defense), Dexterity (attack rating), and Energy (life.) Each level, players are rewarded three points to allocate between these four stats.
Bonus Features
Almost every MMORPG has some sort of pet system and Xiah Rebirth is no different. Players can purchase or tame pets which can then level up along with the player. A simple resource gathering feature is also available allowing players to mine for precious materials. The trouble is, both mining and pets are heavily dependent on cash shop items, which puts them out of the reach of most players. I can see why Xiah has managed to limp along for all these years, the game simply will not let players max out. Players can be 'reborn' at least six times, gaining more powerful martial arts skill each time. Even the 'Five Element's branch of the skill tree must be leveled up separately. As for PvP, it is available but only on the third channel. Guild wars are the most interesting late game PvP diversion but the game's small (and shrinking) population put this out of reach for new players.
Final Verdict: Poor
Xiah Rebirth was a bad game years ago and has only gotten worse since. The fact that many known bugs were never fixed shows that the developers have no interest in improving the game, so I cannot recommend new players to take it any more seriously. It may hold nostalgic value for some and it may even draw in a few gamers looking for an old-school experience, but you have been warned: enter at your own risk.

Garrett-Evangelical Degree Program/Year
M.Div., First Year
Formative Vocational Experiences
When I was a junior in college, I was a pastoral intern at church, and one of the things I did with the pastor was make hospital visits. One day, the pastor told me that she wasn't able to visit someone and that she was sending the other intern and me instead. I knew that the woman in question was elderly and had some chronic health issues, but I didn't know her personally and had never been on an unaccompanied hospital visit. I was pretty nervous about this! As it turns out, she had been a social worker and a CPE (Clinical Pastoral Education) advisor, so it was a bit of a setup. Here we were expecting to minister to someone, and she's the one teaching us how to do hospital visits.
I also had the opportunity to sit in with the pastor on some premarital counseling sessions, which was pretty amazing. I had the chance to see people at a momentous time in their lives with their guards down. It was a lesson in exploring what lies beneath the surface of people. I watched the pastor hone in with couples on certain issues that weren't obvious but needed to be addressed.
Personal Information
My parents live in Rockford. My father is a financial planner, and my mother is an elementary school art teacher. I have one sister, Lindsey, who is three years older and lives in Chicago. She is a self-employed social media professional working for the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless and for a branch of Northwestern University. Now that I live on Garrett-Evangelical's campus, I'm exploring churches in the area. I know Chicago pretty well and have really enjoyed attending services at First UMC at the Chicago Temple. In my dwindling spare time, I enjoy music – specifically singing and playing violin. I also like reading a lot and hiking in the great outdoors.
Attraction to Garrett-Evangelical
I remember visiting an Old Testament class with Professor Cheryl Anderson. I was taking a similar class at the time at North Central College, where I was a religious studies major, so I was able to follow the class a bit, which was exciting. I'm not sure what my preconceptions were about seminary, but I was pleasantly surprised by how dynamic and out-of-the-box the discussions were. I knew I was going to be challenged.
I'm still in the midst of discerning my particular call, but I'm seriously considering serving as a deacon in a pastoral care or chaplaincy setting. I'm pursuing the M.Div. because of how all-inclusive the program is and the options I will have when I graduate.
here? I'd really like to bee a part of community where I can get responses from
other knowledgeable individuals that suare the same interest.
If you have any suggestions, please let
me know. Thank you!

Alejandra Ramos has lost her appetite for the occasional carnitas burrito from Chipotle, the frozen frappucino from Starbucks and the blueberry muffin from Dunkin' Donuts.
And she's not happy about it. "Once they put up the calorie counts, then suddenly I was like, 'I can't eat this, this is a whole day's worth of calories,'" said Ramos, 26, of her Chipotle burrito. At Starbucks, the culinary writer said, "I have ended up ordering a hot tea, which is nothing, or a bottle of water."
Blame New York City officials for her misery. The city requires chain restaurants to post calories alongside menu items, which means she has to face the music: That blueberry muffin has 510 calories.
After she read that, Ramos ended up giving the muffin to someone asking for change on the train. "So those favorites of my childhood have now been ruined by the calorie counts," she said.
Menu labeling laws are popping up across the country. And if the health care reform bill passes, restaurants with at least 20 locations throughout the country will have to post calories on menus; other nutritional information, such as fat, sodium and carbohydrates, will have to be in writing somewhere in the restaurant. (There's not enough room to fit everything on the menu board.)
Proponents say the information is needed more than ever. Americans eat about a third of their calories at restaurants, according to Margo Wootan, director of nutrition policy for the Center for Science in the Public Interest in Washington, D.C., which worked with legislators on the menu labeling provision. Two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese.
Studies show that most people can't guess how many calories are in a menu item and often underestimate, said Wootan.
At Dunkin' Donuts, for instance, Ramos would have been better off calorie-wise choosing the apple cheese danish (330 calories) or a ham, egg and cheese on an English Muffin (350 calories). "People have a right to know what's in their food so they can make their own choices," said Wootan. "If someone is going to sell you a 3,000-calorie appetizer, they should tell you, so you can decide for yourself if you really want to eat 3,000 calories."
The proposal seems to have a lot of public support. The California Center for Public Health Advocacy commissioned a telephone poll in 2007 that found that 84 percent of respondents supported requiring chains to post calories on menus and boards. California became the first state to enact statewide menu labeling legislation in September 2008.
While many restaurants voluntarily provide nutrition information online or in the establishment, diners often can't find it or don't see it.
Penny Shanks, 50, executive director of the Clarkston Chamber of Commerce in Michigan, recently spent more than 30 minutes online searching for nutritional information for a chain restaurant. She likes to choose what she orders before dining out to make sure it's healthy. "It's hard when you eat out," said Shanks, who wound up ordering soup that day. "Portion sizes are large. It's kind of a mystery, how many calories, how much is fat, how much is carbs, all these little things you want to be concerned about."
With a split-second decision, "you can save hundreds, even thousands of calories by ordering just a little differently," said Wootan. For example, ordering a glazed doughnut instead of a honey bran raisin muffin at Dunkin' Donuts will save you 280 calories.
More than 80 percent of New Yorkers ordered differently when seeing calorie counts, she said, citing a survey from food service consultants Technomic Inc. More than half said it affected where they ate.
But other experts aren't sure that calorie counts will achieve the desired results. The plan could backfire, said Stacey Rosenfeld, a New York psychologist who specializes in eating disorders. If you don't order what you want because it's high in calories, you might become dissatisfied and overeat later, she said.
Jessica Setnick, a Dallas-based dietitian who works with children and teens to address weight and eating issues, points out that nutrition information has been out there for years on packaged foods. "People either think it doesn't apply to them - these people still won't care - or they are overly preoccupied with calories and fat grams and focus too much on the insignificant data," she said. "The people in the middle, who eat appropriate amounts of a wide variety of foods, don't need nutrition information on a menu to guide them."

The Palau de l'Almudaina (Almudaina Palace) is a 14th century palace that acted as a former residence for Spanish Royals and the 14th century fortress Castell de Bellver (Castle of Bellver), which was also used as a prison and still features carvings on the walls made by French prisoners. The castle also features a museum and is occasionally used as a concert venue.
If you prefer Art to Architecture then Palma is also home to many art galleries such as the Spanish Contemporary Art Museum which is home to works by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró and Salvador Dalí.
The Caves du Drach are situated close to the marina town of Porto Cristo.
