The Greatest Story Ever Told Yours.
First I'm a really big Star Wars fan and I played SWG for six of the eight years. I stopped playing right after the NGE hit and came back after they started fixing it.
My favorite SWG feature or addon was the Hoth operation for both sides I played that one many many times. I also had a real Jedi I unlocked with Bio Eng. You had to be careful 3 deaths and your Jedi was poof I had 2 deaths before they changed it.
Crafting and Harvesting helped me amass 3.4 Billion credits so yea I had the best stuff I could buy it. It was my first MMO and I never thought I would play that for six years but I did. rest in peace SWG.
*** Bought a City to run for a measley 100 million credits.
My son asked me to play SWTOR with him and convinced me to create avatars on a pvp server. I was on Anchorhead now I'm on Prophecy of the Five . I never really like WoW pvp that much. So SWTOR pvp caught me by suprise how fun it was to play those war zones. I have become a big fan of it. World PvP well I do very well at it winning about 65% of my encounters I atribute this to fighting in warzones.
Positives about SWTOR:
1. I love the stories "HINT" don't start more than one at time you will enjoy it more.
2. There is plenty to do in this game. PVP, Class stories, Crafting, Flashpoints, Operations, World PvP, Quests with a story behind it.
3. Since they fixed the graphics they look awesome now so much better.
4. Making super servers was a great move by Bioware I lost about half of the names I created for my Avatars but I'm am happy with the new names I came up with. There are at least a 80 -100 people in each zone and some zones have two instances. I'm always able to group to do those planet H4's and H2's.
5. They have removed a lot of lag from the fleet.
6. They have made the Galatic Trade open to both sides now and there is always stuff to buy and I sell about 90% of the items I put up for sale now.
7. We now have Grouping tool for Flash Points and Operations which works real good.
8. New content is coming in 1.4 going to be good!!!
9. This Game is what 7 months old now I can see it only getting better and better as they add more content.

I enjoyed my time with SWTOR, although PvP was not my favorite, although I can see how playing it with your son would make it enjoyable. Yea I loved the individual story lines, as a casual player it took me awhile to get up to top level, so it was fun to alt. Swtor has the best story line of all the MMO's and to me that counts! I would always try to avoid groups in other mmo's but found small groups enjoyable here especially with the social points. I am looking forward to playing GW2 as GW1 was one of my favs, but I will come back to SWTOR, and look forward to the improvements

My initial run through of TOR was undoughtedly fun second and third alt the appeal turned to bordom and a strong desire to no longer play the game. The PVP I never saw as a strong suit even though others spoke of it so highly. I felt the PVP didn't flow well and with nearly every class having the ability to cc it got ridiculous at times. In all honesty I'm glad that you enjoy the game OP but unfortunately I'll take my business else where.

To me SWTOR is boring to its core. I had very little fun running my first charcter through and when faced with the prospect of runnign an alt it was a very easy decision to quit. The quests are mind numbingly boring. How anyone can play this for more then 2 weeks is beyond me.

The game is going to slowly fade from popular view like AoC et al. Bringing a droid into play from the popular single player game KOTOR will not bring back players. It really is just something to do for those diehards that will basically stick with the game no matter what.
Can you imagine resubscribing for a time sink to get another companion to sit around the space station with you>
I won't bad mouth it much anymore. I had fun on my inquisitor. he had a awesome story and the ending was the kind that gave you chills like a movie that has the same effect on you. but it was after i hit 50 is when all my years of dealing with these type of games and devs came flooding back.
I sat there in fleet thinking.."i'm going to be doing this same activity on my alts, and in the long run the game has nothing to hold my interest"
So i decided to unsub and never return again.I won't go into the many many reason why. you have to play to 50 and a couple more maybe before you understand why countless people have left and are leaving. it's not really a game developed for true starwars fans. it's a sad attempt at a starwars MMO just like the one before it.
I Have said enough i'm off. good luck OP you will see why you just have to keep playing a few months.

Well sounds like you found the right game for you OP, and sticking with it, especially since you're a fan of the IP makes perfect sense.
See, the thing is, many of the gameplay mechanics you enjoy in the game are not something I'm personally looking for, so I moved on after a 3 month run.
Sure, I had some fun, but long term its just not what I'm looking for in a MMORPG (think more realistic,virtual worlds, much like SWG was prior to the NGE and you'll be on the right track.
BTW, you probably would have really enjoyed WOW, there's a lot of similarities between the two titles in terms of their general design, recommend you give it a shot if you haven't already.
Arrogant, Condescending, Dismissive, Elitist, "Meany", you speak as if these are bad things?

1) I assume you mean the story tidbits you get while doing a massive zone load or while in your quest log. Yes the story "hints" were nice.
2) Plenty of things to do in the game if you are an altaholic I guess. I'd rather play just one character, and NO there was not a lot to do in game. It all revolved around the same principles of questing and/or instanced PVE/PVP on linear maps. All the stuff on the wall of crazy would have made the game great but those were not implemented because it would be risky (and deviate too far from WoW).
3) Screenshots for comparison? 1.2 was supposed to look awesome and it did not. I do not belive comments like this any longer.
4) They are not super servers .. they are individual original servers with more people.. There was supposed to be 200 "super" servers, but now there is 26. Just having a couple thousand players on a server does not qualify as "super".. If you can provide proof that the hardware was upgraded, I'll call them super too .. but we both know they are not.
5) Less lag is good /agree. It's mainly the inefficient game client that causes lag, and this should have been eliminated before the game released, honestly.
6) GTN has a sub-sub-sub standard interface. If the game is copying WoW, why couldn't EA/BioWare at least copy the good stuff that Blizzard did?
7) Graatz for grouping. People have been social in grouping without a group finder for the last 13 years, since EQ.
8) Oh sure 1.4 is going to be "good!!!!" .. and so was 1.3 and 1.2 .. and so will 1.6 .. tell me WHY it will be good, because more PVE / PVP with in-between linear questing isn't my idea of really good. What about mini-games .. something else besides slaughtering 100 of this race and 100 of this race. Lordy almighty, something besides a clone MMORPG experience?
9) Subjective, nothing provided has led to believe the game has become more healthy. Content was added, but really for end gamers, it's a couple flashpoints, and 1 PVP map .. lulzwut? I played many Star Wars games in the past, on PC and consoles, and I like to talk about those games to friends, because they all had new elements to them, new angles. I'd love to talk the same about TOR but it doesn't have anything that other games don't already have (except massive voice overs) .... MOVRPG? Multiplayer Online Voice Role Playing Game...

I played TOR for about 6 months and I enjoyed it the entire time. Currently taking a break from it at the moment to try out other games.
I plan on going back to TOR after I finish my rounds. Its funny, because after playing the current round of MMOs that just launched (TOR, Tera, TSW, GW2 BWEs), I've come to realize there really isn't much that separates these games any more. I'm not saying that in a bad way, it's just that all these games are really different flavors of the same dish. Sure, some have better graphics, some better stories, some better atmosphere, some better guild PVP, but in the end all these differences are relatively minor.
I liked aspects of all these games, but the one the that I personally liked the best happens to be TOR, Why? Maybe because I'm a SW fan, maybe I like the polish of the game, the story, etc.
What MMO a person is going to stick with in the end is as dependent on the individual's personality and friends as much as anything else. I see a lot of MMO players scrambling from game to game (myself included at times) looking for that new game that breaks the genre, but in the end, I don't think there really will be one. The MMORPG genre has defined itself. This is it. If you are looking for something else, chances are you're looking for something that hasn't evolved yet.
I started playing MMOs with Ultima Online. Nothing will ever hold a candle to that game for me. Part of it is because it was that first step into a new genre. Almost like a child seeing his first blockbuster movie. I've come to peace with that. I no longer want to trash other games because of chasing the uncatchable.
I think those days of playing MMOs for years on end are over (at least, for us veterans). There's room enough for all these games. When I grow sick again of TOR, maybe I'll give DCUO another shot, who knows.
May all those whom enjoy TOR, or any other MMO for that matter, do so without shame.

The ironic thing about your post is that if you really loved the Star Wars Universe you wouldn't be giving Bioware and LA your money for this train wreck of a game.
The Star Wars IP deserves much more than this bland, lifeless, game will ever aspire to become.

Yup pretty much this. SWTOR doesnt have near enough content for an MMO. IMO Bioware would of been better off and made more $$$ releasing this is a single player RPG.

Besides rolling out the Apple TV 6.1 firmware, Apple also updated their Remote app for iOS aiming for better and easier use with Apple TV. The highlight features of Remote 4.2 are:
I woke up this morning to the news of two major content additions to Apple TV. This has been a routine lately but the difference here is that neither of these adds a new channel icon to the home screen, but instead streams within existing apps. Thank God they do!
If you've read our reviews on previous versions of Infuse, you'd know how much we love this video player. And if you've used it before, you'd also know why. Sporting one of the best user interfaces in the game, chewing up all formats one could think of and stuffed up with premium features, it's been our favourite even from the 1.x times. Then Infuse 2.0 showed up and revolutionized things by dropping it free, giving an iOS 7 based flat design and including the much awaited "streaming" feature.
Just a week after updating its Reflector app, Squirrels has updated AirParrot for Mac to version 1.5.3. Here is what's new:
Netflix has quietly added a few 4K videos to its ever growing repository of on demand streaming videos as it prepares itself for a wider rollout of the Ultra HD service in the upcoming months.
Following the update to their Apple TV app, the NBA is offering an extended trial of their League Pass service right up until November 5th, meaning you can watch the entire first week of the new NBA season for free.

This release is available in German.
Mate competition by males over females is common in many animal species. During mating season male testosterone levels rise, resulting in an increase in aggressive behavior and masculine features. Male bonobos, however, invest much more into friendly relationships with females. Elevated testosterone and aggression levels would collide with this increased tendency towards forming pair-relationships.
Bonobos are among the closest living relatives of humans. Like other great apes they live in groups made up of several males and females. Contrary to other ape species however, male bonobos do not, in general, outrank female individuals and do not dominate them in mating contexts. This constellation suggests that the selection for typically masculine behavioral patterns like aggression, dominance and intrasexual competition are met with antagonistic forces: On one hand it is advantageous if a male outcompetes a fellow male. This, however, implies that there is increased aggression and an elevated level of testosterone in high-ranking males. On the other hand as dominance relations between the sexes are rather balanced in bonobos it is likely that males benefit from having friendly pair-relationships with female individuals. Studies with birds and rodents show that a tendency towards forming pair-relationships correlates with lower male aggression rates and testosterone levels.
In a current study, Martin Surbeck, Gottfried Hohmann, Tobias Deschner and colleagues of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, found that in wild bonobos high-ranking males were more aggressive and their mating success was higher when compared to lower-ranking males. Contrary to other species in which males compete fiercely over access to females, there was no correlation between dominance st

British Vision: Observation and Imagination in British Art 1750-1950
Johns, Richard, British Art Journal
British Vision: Observation and Imagination in British Art 1750-1950
Museum voor Schone Kunsten, Ghent
6 October 2007-13 January 2008
When Tate Britain reopened in 2000 with a bold thematic display of its permanent collection, rather than taking the more traditional chronological approach, it prompted widespread debate about the feasibility of what Nikolaus Pevsner once described as the 'geography of art'--the attempt to define the distinctive traits of a nation's art across time. Although the Tate's experiment deserved serious consideration as an alternative to the restrictions of a chronological approach--memorably placing Nicholas Hilliard's Elizabeth I shoulder-to-shoulder with Francis Bacon's Seated Figure, for example--the critics' sceptical response showed that curators straddle the centuries at their peril.
Yet the domestic anxieties that accompanied the Tate's inaugural display did not deter the organisers of an impressive exhibition at the Museum voor Schone Kunsten in Ghent, where more than two centuries of British art was assembled and arranged according to a certain idea of 'Britishness'. Bringing together more than 300 works from over 50 public and private collections throughout the UK, as well as from Europe and America, 'British Vision' is one of the most ambitious exhibitions of British art of the modern period ever to be held on the Continent. The museum's elegantly refurbished rooms revealed a succession of works of the highest calibre, tracing the course of the nation's art during a period of extraordinary change, from the discoveries of the mid-18th century to the scarred post-war figuration of the 1950s and early '60s.
The inclusion of works on paper, early photography and all kinds of printed matter lent an additional richness to the exhibition. In the first room, John Sell Cotman's early industrial view of Bedlam Furnace near Ironbridge, Shropshire and Robert Howlett's photographic celebration of the Great Eastern steamship, hung alongside such iconic oil paintings as Joseph Wright's A Philosopher Lecturing on the Orrery and Ford Madox Brown's Work, introducing the thematic ambitions that traversed the loosely chronological structure of the exhibition. That the same room also juxtaposed George Stubbs' servant-portrait of Freeman, the Earl of Clarendon's Gamekeeper with a beautifully conceived photographic study of a Suffolk poacher by Peter Henry Emerson was further testimony to the imagination that Robert Hoozee, the museum's director, and his collaborators had invested in an exhibition that frequently departed from the obvious.
The premise that held such a diverse array of objects together is that a distinctly British vision of art can be traced along an axis between 'observation' and 'imagination': that is to say, between a keen disposition for the empirical study of nature on the one hand and a tendency towards the visionary, or spiritual, on the other. The result is a survey of British art that is unapologetic in favouring the idiosyncratic and the obsessive over the conventional, in which the Academy plays a decidedly minor role, and where portraiture, once regarded as a British obsession by Continental critics, makes only an occasional, almost accidental, appearance. Thus, not a single work by Joshua Reynolds appeared in 'British Vision'; instead, eccentric outsiders William Blake, Samuel Palmer and Richard Dadd took centre stage, with more than 30 works between them. The danger that such an approach might have confined the exhibition's subject-matter to a series of stereotypes is gently, if unintentionally, caricatured in the title of Timothy Hyman's introductory essay to the accompanying catalogue, 'Between the Meticulous and the Mad'.
The work of Stanley Spencer, now firmly established as an eccentric hero of 20th-century British art, enjoys a similar prominence in the latter half of the exhibition, with no fewer than 16 works on display--the same as Constable and second only to Blake. …

Howard Gordon adapting BBC's 'Inside Men' with Richard PriceAdd to Favorites | Inside Men
In case you feel the need for more TV shows from Howard Gordon, there's another one in the works. The executive producer of "24," "Homeland" and "Tyrant" is working with writer Richard Price on an adaptation of BBC crime drama "Inside Men."
According to THR, the two have signed with Fox 21 to work together on the series, which focuses on a single bank robbery from many different points of view. The original series only only ran four hours, though Fox 21 president Bert Salke says, "This is hopefully something that will turn into 50 hours."
While the scale of the show would need to grow to fit a longer run, Salke says, "It's the same themes about how we find our voice in life, how we can rise above what the working man does to make his mark."
The goal is to have the show ready to shop to premium and basic cable networks by the end of the year. Currently, Price is working on the pilot script, the first draft of which was written by original series creator Tony Basgallop. Together they will also write the show's bible before meeting with networks.

Study Abroad in Belize
Rainforest to Reef, Resource Management in Belize: Temples, Timber, Jaguars, and Culture. Tentative

Course topics will also include natural and current cultural history of Belize.
Study Abroad in Botswana
Integrating Development, Sustainable Use and Conservation in Third and Developing World Economies
This three week course will be conducted in the wetlands, tribal lands and protected areas of Northern Botswana. Through a combination of class room training and applied field work, students will develop a deeper understanding of the complexities and practicalities of natural resource management in third world and developing countries where poverty reduction priorities dominate the development landscape. In an area where elephants outnumber people and poverty continues to increase, this course will offer students a unique understanding of the processes and problems in integrating the development process into conservation to secure sustainable use of natural resources and improved rural livelihoods.

I used to think this was the funniest shit. Now I know how autistic this is.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
I thought the lines were very clever and funny. The look of the movie didn't look good. I know there was little time put into it, but the animation seemed so sloppy. This would be in my top favorites if the animation looked smoother. Otherwise, amazing job. Very enjoyable video!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
that was awesome
Rated 3 / 5 stars
Okay, so I got that you made this in three days but it's really not anything special. The voice acting is canned and over the top, as is the writing. It wouldn't kill you to incorporate at least a LITTLE bit of subtlety into the humor. The dialogue sacrifices actual humor for cheesy lines that are merely relevant. The drawings and animations are decent especially for the little amount of time put into this, though I would have appreciated backgrounds. This didn't need anything fancy, but something more than a white screen. A few of the more crude drawings were practically bordering on spam-level.

The brand behind the iconic Continental models, Lincoln's history goes all the way back to 1917. Henry Leland started the Lincoln Motor Company with his son Wilfred in 1917. When Lincoln eventually got into financial trouble it was purchased by Ford, which was ironic because Ford had been pushed out of his second car company by a pack of moneymen led by Leland. That company went on to become Cadillac, which was eventually purchased by William C. Durant to become the General Motors flagship automobile brand—and Lincoln's chief American competitor.
The first Lincoln Continental appeared in 1940, it was followed in 1956 as the Lincoln Continental Mark II. Actually positioned above the Lincoln marque in Ford's brand portfolio, the 1956 Lincoln Mark II was essentially hand-built like a Rolls Royce and Ford charged Rolls-Royce money for it too —$10,000 (almost $90,000 in today's money). Even still, the cars were sold at a loss of some $1000 each.
Going into the second decade of the 21st century, new Lincoln models are establishing a new identity for the venerable brand. While Lincoln automobiles are noted for having the nicest interiors of any American brand, the marketplace has shifted to a more European-oriented definition of luxury. Lincoln is adapting to the new paradigm, while still reflecting the core values of the historic marque.
Autobytel's Lincoln reviews provide insights to how the company is managing this, while also reporting on all of the other aspects of the vehicles you need to consider as a part of your car-buying process. Our team of professional automotive reviewers infuses our Lincoln reviews with first-hand experiences informed by their many years of experience in the automotive industry.

What Roger does from the SF stage on is debatable...but please, pencil Fed into the SF now. Put Nole in the Final. Also looking forward to a Delpo-Murray QF that should be awesome.
But people do have better days and worse days. Even Roger. And people improve or lose form. If everyone played the exact same level every match we would not need to actually play the tournament.
However, even without playing 100%, a player like Roger can still will. Partly because he so rarely drops far off his 100%.
Playing 100%, and without an amazing lift by an opponent, Roger will will all of the lead up matches. But with high level opponents, capable of great games even if they are not consistent, there is the chance of an upset. And if there is a chance of an upset every round- then the odds add up. Just because he SHOULD win each match, does not guarantee he will win all of them.
People with easier draws have matches they can bring 80% of their game and still win comfortably. They get a rest.

Marks operated in Ethelsville, Ala. under the name Mrs. Lamar. SPD Detective Bill Lott said Marks' charges stem from an incident on Dec. 23, 2013 connected to her business. He said a third party, who SPD is keeping anonymous, reported the incident on behalf of a vulnerable adult victim.

I, for one, cannot stomach that. I insist on seeing black people get educated and employed and open increasingly more businesses and I don't care if the politician is Democrat or Republican, I just want to know that they are doing their best to represent the needs of the community moreso than their own political career. Actually, the more you serve the people, the more people want to push you higher. So, push your career by pushing black progress.

Op/Ed: Vanguard Justice Society Welcomes Commissioner's Challenge to Stand Up for Reforms & Stand Against Police Misconduct to Rebuild Community Trust:
Although Commissioner Batts claims credit for reforms in "ethics, training, discipline, equipment, efficiencies, and policies," we anticipate that the U.S. Department of Justice investigation into the force's practices and procedures—which Vanguard has repeatedly welcomed--will show that the department still has a very long way to go. In addition, we anxiously await the results of the pending Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) that may reveal a clearer picture of the deployment of public safety resources prior to, during, and immediately after the civil disturbance on April 27—actions that we fear may have, and continue to put both police officers and the public at risk.

"Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid. A good man obtains favor from the Lord, but a man of wicked intentions He will condemn. A man is not established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous cannot be moved" (vs1-3).
Righteousness is safe and peaceful, making us ready to meet God and prepared for our future. Righteousness, this gift of God, comes to us freely, but it also saves us completely. We trust the cross of Christ and what He did, and then we live by faith in Him, trusting Him to care for us completely and conform us to His will. Righteousness is always the path of blessing. We find God's will, and then we live it out wholeheartedly, "not with eye service, as men pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart" (Eph 6:6). The world may mock your submission to your husband or your loyalty to your wife; it may despise your obedience at work, or your bearing patiently with ungodliness hurled against you, but righteousness is the safe way to heaven and real joy. Righteousness, no matter what humans say, is the path that God will bless.
Listen here. Even if you've failed in the past, even if God comes to you in the gospel now, and you are in the middle of sin… if you believe then blessings WILL start for you (Matt 9:29). You will have God's help to overcome sin's consequences, and He will achieve in you the goodness promised (Jer 29:11). Don't fret, if like Solomon, you are at the wrong place doing the wrong thing. God comes now and says, "What do you want? What would you that I should do for you?" Like Solomon, ask for wisdom, and righteousness will result, and you will be safe and possess eternal life. We read, "And Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the statutes of his father David, except that he sacrificed and burned incense at the high places. Now the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place… at Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, "Ask! What shall I give you?" (1 Kings 3:3-5). The joy of Christ is for the taking. Choose righteousness. Know that it is the safest and best choice that you can make, and it is the only way to safely meet God.
Secondly, if you do well to others, blessing those who curse you, then your own mouth will be your safety in the Judgment (vs4-6). He says, "The thoughts of the righteous are right, but the counsels of the wicked are deceitful. The words of the wicked are, 'Lie in wait for blood,' but the mouth of the upright will deliver them". God looks upon what we did in our life, knowing if it was of faith, and He rewards those who did right, because they believed on Christ unto fruitfulness.
What is the fruit of your lips? What do you say? If you love God, then you want to love people with your words, and if you can do this by the gospel, then you live wisely and shall never be punished. The grace that CHANGES our character is grace that saves, so watch over your language and tone, keep your patient and humble speech, and know that even though it requires restraint and prayer, and even though you must confess sins, it will be better for you to speak wisely and purely, than as a fool. What do you want? You want to enjoy God, live forever, and escape Judgment's wrath? Then control your mouth. Don't merely think, "I can treat people how I please because God is merciful". Think, "God makes us merciful as proof that we're His, and I trust Him for this grace, so that I can speak the truth in love. Jesus died for this, and He promises to give it". Grace came from God to you – truthfully and lovingly – and grace comes from you to others by His Spirit, the same way.
Gracious lips are precious and SOUL-SAVING!
Finally, change is the result of the gospel, just like cleanliness is the result of a shower (vs7-10). He says, "A righteous man regards the life of his animal, but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel". You and I come to Christ, continually filthy and evil, and He forgives us and gives us strength. We started out godless, and He saved us as sinners, freely, giving us eternal life by faith alone. Then, out of a pure heart and a good conscience, we bring forth the fruit of love, showing our salvation is real, as He commanded (1 Tim 1:5). This love is from a new heart that God's made to believe the truth, and this love is newness of life in all believers. We WERE hateful and cruel (Titus 3:3-5). We walked in ungodliness and unrestrained passions. We did our own will. But now, we love what we hated, and we hate sin within. We follow the Lamb to the cost of our lives, and yet this isn't a change in a few, but it is in everyone who is really saved. He doesn't change a man's head without changing his life, and the loveless man must be made gracious. The sinner must be sanctified, and the believer comes home a different person, having experienced mercy in the temple (Luke 18:14; Mark 5:19-20)!
Don't forget that this is the end of grace: it is not a man cruelly scolding his family with the truth; it is a man graciously teaching them by word and example. We are to BELIEVE that we're new creatures, and we're to walk in this newness, never being happy until I treat people as they deserve (Matt 5:23-24). I'm not one who touched Christ but got no cleansing; I'm like the woman with the issue of blood, my disease is healed, and I actually go in peace. He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction" (Mark 5:34). How can you be forgiven and not forgive? How can you be loved and not respond lovingly to others? It cannot be. The righteous man is different, all the way down to how he treats his dog. What about you? If you are changed, then you'll want to change continually. You'll want to glorify God, get grace to do it, and your character will manifest it in how you treat people – forgiving and asking forgiveness, speaking to them and treating them as one who's obtained mercy from Christ and been commanded to love as the result.

'Art of Well Being X' show opens with Sunday events
The artists see humans and animals lounging on the green grass, people interacting with the great outdoors, still-life displays of colorful fruits and vegetables, beautiful blooms, scenic farmland, a yoga pose and dancing shoes among their views of "well being."
Their collective vision goes on exhibit starting Sunday afternoon in "Art of Well Being X," an annual spring open art competition at First United Methodist Church.
Artists were invited to submit their two- or three-dimensional work depicting the theme "well being."
Juror John Streetman, director of the Evansville Museum of Art, History and Science, selected the award winners, which will announced at a 3 p.m. opening reception Sunday afternoon.
A first-place award of $500 will be presented along with other awards.
"It is, indeed, fitting that an exhibition addressing "The Art of Well Being" is presented in a church setting," Streetman said in his statement about the exhibit. "As a museum director, I am keenly aware of the cathartic sense of fulfillment that can come from the process of art-making ... As any artist will tell you, the joy is in the process.
"Here, we see gathered a variety of commendable works that give us a glimpse into the artists' journeys toward their own well being; and, in turn, we are instructed and fed by their handiwork," he added. "The resultant sense of well being is thus shared – the essence of why artists make art and we are lifted by seeing it.
The reception in the church's Gathering Area and accompanying concert are both free and open to the public.
The concert will be performed by vocalist Anna Dewey accompanied by Jessica Vanover in the church sanctuary. Awards will be announced during the concert.
The artwork will remain on exhibit through March 8.
The downtown church is located at 338 Third St. (at the corner of Third and Green streets), but visitors can enter the doors under the portico just off Green Street.
The exhibit can be viewed from 9 a.m. to noon and 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays as well as before and after Sunday services, which take place at 8:30 a.m. and 10:45 a.m.
For information, call the church at 827-9831 or email email@example.com.

Relay For Life of Mower County has recently come up with the suggestion that people should mull over the idea of starting a team – be it for a family member, a relative, a friend, a co-worker or a neighbor - with Relay For Life of Mower County --- a move which will honor somebody who has either had cancer in the past or is currently battling with it.
Going by the suggestion, people can create a team with 5 to 15 participants, by getting in touch with co-workers, family, friends and neighbors for the purpose of donations, either by purchasing a luminaria or just a pledge to the cancer cause.
The team kick-off will take place at the Mower County Red Cross building, at 6:30 p. m. on Wednesday, with the relay this year to be held at the Veterans pavilion on August 4 and August 5.
The festivities at the relay this time round will start at 3 p. m., and the opening ceremony has been slated for 6 p. m. The highlights of this year's relay will be games, entertainment, a water slide on Skinners Hill, live or silent auctions, as well as lots of delicious eatables.
The luminaria ceremony will start at dusk, when the names of cancer survivors as well as cancer victims will be read out. Special events will go on all through the night for the team participants who spend the night in the park.

English Voter Blames Backlash for World Cup Failure
Dec. 3 (Bloomberg) -- England's representative on soccer's governing body said the country's elimination in the first round of voting yesterday for the host of the 2018 World Cup may have been down to a backlash against the U.K. media.
England received just two votes from FIFA's 22-member executive committee, including that of Englishman Geoff Thompson. Russia, the eventual winner, got nine in the first round, five more than the joint bid of Netherlands/Belgium. The joint effort from Spain/Portugal had seven.
The award of the world's most watched sporting event was marred by FIFA's suspension of two executive members last month after the Sunday Times published a story alleging Nigerian Amos Adamu and Tahiti's Reynald Temarii had offered to sell their votes. Earlier this week, the British Broadcasting Corp. made fresh corruption allegations against voters.
"Regrettably it's outside sources that don't help," Thompson said in an interview after the announcement at the Messe Zurich convention center.
When asked if he meant the U.K. media had damaged the country's chances, he added: "Certainly in the minds of certain colleagues yes."
While a FIFA probe found enough evidence to suspend Adamu and Temarii, it said issues raised by the BBC program, which included allegations of bribery, were investigated by Swiss authorities and were "definitely closed."
BBC Defense
BBC Executive Editor Clive Edwards told Radio 4's Today program this week that the broadcast was justified to report the allegations because "it is in everyone's interest that there should be a fair process."
The English bid's chief executive officer Andy Anson today told reporters that FIFA President Sepp Blatter reminded voters of the "evil of the media" minutes before they cast their ballots.
Russia reached the majority needed to host the tournament in the second ballot by receiving 13 votes, with Spain/Portugal getting seven and the Netherlands/Belgium receiving two. Qatar won the 2022 event, ahead of the U.S., South Korea, Japan and Australia.
"England has full facilities and they could hold the World Cup anytime," Junji Ogura, the Japanese representative on the FIFA board, told reporters yesterday. "I think England's media reporting affected FIFA executive committee members."
'Stupid and Naive'
Marios Lefkaritis, a voter from Cyprus, said the media had a big hand in England's failure.
"In the beginning I thought not, but after the experience I got from other members yesterday, then I have to say definitely yes," he said in an interview today. "If the (England bid team) think they did not, then they are stupid and naive."
England, which was also knocked out in the first round in the bidding for the 2006 World Cup, struggled to recover from several missteps since announcing its intention to go for the tournament about two years ago.
Last November it changed its board after criticism that it was too large. In May, Football Association Chairman David Triesman, who also chaired the bid, quit after making allegations of a pact between Qatar and Spain/Portugal. The most recent problems centered around the media reports, which led to FIFA President Sepp Blatter questioning the news-gathering approach of the British press.
Last-Minute Support
Prime Minister David Cameron, Prince William and David Beckham went to Zurich this week to support the bid. They conducted several meetings with FIFA officials late into the night, leading to renewed optimism the country could bring the tournament back to England after a 44-year wait.
"We did everything we thought we could," England bid CEO Andy Anson said in an interview.
Lefkaritis said voters weren't swayed by the dignitaries brought in by bidders.
"They don't wait until the last minute to make their decisions," he said. "I don't think there's even one who comes to Zurich two days before and waits for the Emir, Price William and (former U.S. President) Clinton to change his mind."
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin scrapped a plan to attend the vote, saying he didn't want to add "external pressure" on voters rattled by the furor created by the media allegations.
"It was like a conclave for the new Pope," Belgian member Michel D'Hooghe said of the vote. "It was intense."
High Scores
England and the U.S., which was eliminated in a final-round run-off with Qatar, were given high scores by technical and economic reports made for FIFA. Russia had the lowest marks of the 2018 contenders and Qatar, which needs to build 12 stadiums and pledged to spend $50 billion to ready itself for the tournament, was the only bidder given a "high risk" rating. Qatar, with a population of 1.7 million, will be the smallest and hottest country ever to host the tournament that started in 1930.
"Until we survey all the people and find out what was their motivation it's hard to say whether it's politics or the reports," said Chuck Blazer, the U.S. voter on the FIFA panel.

Running back Ronnie Brown signed a one-year deal with San Diego, where he will serve as the primary backup to Ryan Mathews. Brown, the second overall pick in 2005 by the Miami Dolphins, spent last season with the Eagles, finishing with just 136 yards and one touchdown. The Chargers were seeking a veteran backup after Mike Tolbert signed with Carolina in free agency. Brown, 30, has played 92 career games, with his only 1,000-yard rushing season coming in 2006.

Upcoming expansion to the fastest-selling PC game of all time playable at gamescom
"Death, at last, shall spread its wings over all . . ."
COLOGNE, Germany–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The defeat of Diablo, Lord of Terror, should have given rise to an age of hope. Instead, it has drawn out a shadowy being of immense power, whose malevolent purpose is yet to be revealed. Announced today at gamescom, Diablo®III: Reaper of Souls™,the upcoming expansion to Diablo III, opens a dark and terrifying new chapter in the ongoing conflict over the mortal realm of Sanctuary.
Malthael, the fallen Archangel of Wisdom, vanished after the events depicted at the end of Diablo II: Lord of Destruction®. In Reaper of Souls, he returns as the Angel of Death and seizes the Black Soulstone, which contains the essence of the Prime Evil. It now falls to the players to track down Malthael and stop him before he unleashes irreversible havoc on the world.
Fortunately, a new hero is ready to join the cause and bring Malthael to justice—the Crusader. Driven by a centuries-long quest to cleanse the corruption blighting their beloved Zakarum faith, Crusaders are warriors of righteousness who have been hardened through relentless, brutal combat with the foul evils plaguing eastern Sanctuary. In addition to wearing immensely heavy armor and wielding a wide range of cruel and punishing weapons, this new playable class in Reaper of Souls uses battle magic to strengthen allies and weaken foes. A natural walking tank, the Crusader adds power and versatility to any party of adventurers.
"From the beginning, Diablohas always been about the struggle between good and evil, and Reaper of Soulsexplores the darker notes of that conflict," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "This expansion also represents a big milestone in the ongoing evolution of Diablo III, with key enhancements to the core gameplay, along with a new act to experience, a powerful new character class, tons of new loot, and even more end-game options. We think players will love playing Reaper of Souls,and we can't wait to get it into their hands."
In addition to taking the story of Diablo III from the legendary city of Westmarch to the unhallowed halls of the Pandemonium Fortress in Act V and introducing the incorruptible Crusader class, Diablo III: Reaper of Souls increases the game's level cap to 70. Players continuing on with their existing Barbarian, Witch Doctor, Demon Hunter, Wizard, and Monk characters will benefit from an array of fearsome new spells and abilities as they advance in level.
The expansion also accentuates the key features of the Diablo franchise, with a greater emphasis on randomized environments to explore; epic new quests; horrific new monsters to defeat; and substantial updates to the loot experience, enabling players to further customize their characters with new and improved multilevel Legendary items, new Blacksmith and Jeweler item-crafting options, and more.
Diablo III's Paragon progression system is also being majorly upgraded for the expansion, adding even more end-game character advancement and replayability. Two new game modes— Loot Runs and Nephalem Trials —are being added as well, providing fun and rewarding challenges for players to tackle when they're not busy saving the world.
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls is playable on the show floor at Gamescom, and Blizzard will be revealing further details about the expansion at BlizzCon and beyond as development progresses.

About the Diablo Universe
Widely regarded as a benchmark for the action–role-playing game genre, Diablo(1996) introduced players to the dark, gothic world of Sanctuary and placed them at the center of what would be revealed to be a conflict between the angels of the High Heavens and demons of the Burning Hells over the fate of the world and its inhabitants. Diablo II(2000),along with its expansion, Lord of Destruction(2001), and several content patches that followed, took the series to new heights and depths, with an elaborate multi-act story, bold new character classes, and an intricate skill system. In Diablo III(2012), players return to the world of Sanctuary to again confront the Lord of Terror, supported this time by a vibrant cast of characters who join them in battle and aid them in other ways. With the upcoming release of Diablo III: Reaper of Souls,players will face a powerful new adversary, uncover his dark plan for humanity—and take the fight to him in a desperate bid to save Sanctuary once more.
