Filed pursuant to Rule 433 | Registration Statement Nos. 333-162219 and 333-162219-01 RBS PLC LAUNCHES THE RBS NASDAQ-100 ® TRENDPILOT TM EXCHANGE TRADED NOTES Stamford, CT, December 13, 2011 RBS Securities Inc. (RBSSI) today announced the launch of the sixth exchange traded product in its growing suite of Exchange Traded Notes (ETNs). The RBS NASDAQ-100 ® Trendpilot TM Exchange Traded Notes will be issued by The Royal Bank of Scotland plc (RBS plc) and will be listed on NYSE Arca, Inc. under the ticker "TNDQ." The ETNs are designed for investors who seek exposure to the RBS NASDAQ-100 ® Trendpilot ™ Index (USD) (the "Index"), which tracks either the NASDAQ-100 ® Total Return Index SM (the "NASDAQ-100 ® TR Index") or the yield on a hypothetical notional investment in 3-month U.S. Treasury bills as of the most recent weekly auction (the "T-Bill Rate"), depending on the relative performance of the NASDAQ-100 ® TR Index on a simple historical moving average basis. Payment on the ETNs is linked to the performance of the Index, less an investor fee that is deducted at an annualized rate of 1.00% if the Index is tracking the NASDAQ-100 ® TR Index or an annualized rate of 0.50% if the Index is tracking the T-Bill Rate. Investors have the right to require RBS plc to repurchase the ETNs on a daily basis, subject to a minimum repurchase requirement. RBS plc, at its sole discretion, may also redeem the ETNs at any time prior to maturity. "The RBS NASDAQ-100 ® Trendpilot TM Exchange Traded Notes, like the other ETNs in our Trendpilot TM suite, are designed for investors who seek an objective and transparent trend-following strategy that aims to mitigate, to some extent, the volatility of investing in the NASDAQ-100 ® Total Return Index SM ," said Michael Nelskyla, Head of Structured Retail Distribution, Americas. The NASDAQ-100 ® TR Index is composed of 100 of the largest non-financial securities listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market ® by market capitalization. "The NASDAQ-100 ® Total Return Index SM is an objective, transparent, rules-based index. A majority of the companies in the index are large-cap companies and many of the companies have been growth companies with a legacy of leadership and innovation," said John Jacobs, Executive Vice President, NASDAQ.

Hi: 11° Lo:2°
By Tristan Harris Tuesday 08 January 2013 Updated: 08/01 15:23
NETWORK Rail has reiterated its commitment to improving the lines to Bromsgrove and Redditch with its latest announcement of works to be carried out across the West Midlands.
The £65million programme will see the line electrified between Barnt Green and Bromsgrove and a new section of line created between Alvechurch and Redditch. There will also be a second platform at Alvechurch and a new footbridge created at the station.
The work will complement the new Bromsgrove Railway Station and see three trains per hour run between Redditch, Bromsgrove and Birmingham New Street.
The works, scheduled for between 2014 and 2019, are part of more than £550million worth of planned investment by Network Rail across the West Midlands.
It will be the biggest cash injection into the network since Victorian times and is aimed at reducing costs and meeting the increasing demand of passengers.

Pathfinder Chronicles: Guide to Korvosa (OGL)
Paizo Publishing, LLC(based on 13 ratings)
Show Description For:
Add PDF: $12.99
Non-Mint: Unavailable
The city-state of Korvosa, largest in all Varisia, has prospered over the last century since its abandonment by its founding nation of Cheliax. Its port brims with black-and-red-flagged ships—the colors of both Korvosa and Cheliax—endlessly trading fineries from the south for Varisian curiosities and her land's natural bounty. As such, Korvosa rightfully claims to be the most cultured and civilized city in the region, yet visitors might also grant the city-state the titles of most decadent, exploitative, and socially stratified.
This 64-page book serves as an exhaustive guide to the city, including details on all major points of interest, profiles on the city's movers and shakers, and countless adventure hooks for enterprising GMs to expand upon. It also includes a full-color poster map of Korvosa. While designed for use with the Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path, this information-packed supplement is useable in any fantasy RPG campaign.

College News
Faculty and Students Awarded Grants for Service-Learning Projects
At the start of the spring semester, six students and four faculty members received good news and learned that their applications for the Community-Based Service-Learning Civic Engagement grant had been approved. The College's Center for Community Engagement funded the grant submissions to be put towards spring semester service-learning courses.
Students Sandy Brannigan, Emily Green, and Mallory Milligan were seeking funds for their Social Change through Service (PSJS 250), taught by Professor Lee Chase. The funds will benefit CP Rochester, a non-profit organization to help support people with physical and developmental disabilities who are working to accomplish individualized life goals. The $400 grant will help the students create a video series on manners, proper workplace behavior, and proper workplace attire. The money will also buy CP Rochester an HDTV for clients to view the video as a group and engage in reflection.
Chemistry Professors Dr. Irene Kimaru and Dr. Kimberly Chichester, along with their Analytical Chemistry II Lab (CHEM 316L) class, are using their grant to work with non-profit community partner Lots of Food. The organization turns disused food into edible landscapes. Kimaru and Chichester's class is putting the $250 grant towards hydrochloric and nitric acids to extract lead from the soil.
Dr. Natalie Masco, Professor in the Wegmans School of Nursing, and her Complementary and Alternative Therapies (NURS 314) class are using the $250 grant to benefit the patients of the Mercy Outreach Center. The students are researching and presenting on the uses of complementary and alternative therapies such as massage, chiropractic care, acupuncture, and hydrotherapy to the patients. The funds are being used towards equipment, supplies, and books. It is also creating a fund for patients who would benefit from alternative therapies but cannot afford it.
Senior Karlee Platts received a grant for her Reading Gender (WGST 214) class, taught by Dr. Jill Swiencicki. The grant will support Melita House of Mercy Outreach Services, which provides support and shelter for homeless teen women and young women with children. Platts, in partnership with Lindsey Kocher, who is a service scholar, will develop a scrapbooking workshop to encourage self-esteem, family history, and community-building. The money will be used for a digital camera, digital photo printer, and albums to create books to enable reflection and goal-setting.
Pharmacy Professor Dr. Amy Parkhill and fourth-year pharmacy student Tia Lum received a $500 grant to help Melissa's Living Legacy Teen Cancer Foundation. Teens Living with Cancer is a support group and social network dedicated to enabling young people with cancer to live their very best lives today. TLC's program called TLC fit is intended to enhance fitness, quality of life, and community among those affected. Parkhill and Lum, along with their class Advanced Pharmacy Practice (PHAR 6400) class, will use the funds to purchase exercise equipment and help meet the program's goals.
Student Sean Lavin, under the instruction of Professor Lee Chase in Social Change through Service (PSJS 250), will use his $200 grant to benefit the Center for Youth's Monroe High School After-School Program. Two tablets will be purchased with the grant to integrate technology, documentation, reflection, and academic learning within a new Green Room and Horticultural Club. These were previously developed through Gannet Foundation funds obtained through Fisher's Center for Service-Learning and Civic Engagement.

I really like this. It's very airy and captures you right away. Nice guitar work, unique sounding. You have a great voice, especially in that spot right before your break. The criticism I have is that some of the harmonies are off. You might just want to brush up on some harmonic theory or listen to some great harmonizing bands.
Overall, I really enjoyed it. :)
It reminds me of The Bends mixed with U2 sort of. With its own unique sound, though. I especially like that first ghostly guitar solo, it sort of sounds like Radiohead's much coveted ondes martenots, but with a little Jimmy Page dirt.
Lyrics are thought provoking, makes me think of Carl Sagan and The Cosmos. :)
Yeah, I think I know what you mean about some of the harmonies, especially now that I'm hearing this in speakers. When I tried the seventh on the second time I say "days", I see that it's a little off time. I'll quit being lazy and get in the booth and put more takes into it, thanks for the spot!
Glad you like it! I do love some Carl Sagan! This song was particularly inspired by the tale of Apollo 13. Thanks for the review! c:

From: Hudson, NY
Region: Northeast
Topic: Wildflowers
Title: Restoration of hilly area with natives of New York
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:I have an area, down the street from me, 2 side hills. During the summer, this all becomes over grown with small trees and just brush in general. I have asked our city for over 20 yrs to clear it as just behind it is our local city operated swimming hole called Oakdale. I have always thought if these side hills were cleared and wildflowers grew there, how nice it would be and look. I live in Hudson NY and need ideas as to what to grow there. Perhaps if the new political regime decides to heed my request and I have the proper flowers to plant, something can be done. We do have a small contingent of deer the frequent this area though. Any help you could give would be GREATLY appreciated.
ANSWER:You don't say how large the area is and what sorts of trees and brush grow there now. Moreover, you don't say who would be in charge of caring for the area. I am assuming it would be the city—or you. Whoever it is, the simpler the maintenance, the better the area will look year round. You need to realize that wildflowers would be blooming only part of the spring and summer and that the rest of the year the area would have, at best, just green (or dead brown) plants, and at worst, lots of weeds. Also, since you are dealing with hills and some slope, clearing away all the trees and brush could open up the site for erosion. Therefore, it might be an advantage to leave or plant scattered small shrubs or trees. So—first, you might assess what is growing on the site to see if it is native and potentially attractive. For those that fit the "native and potentially attractive" description, you could mark and ask the city to save. A few potentially attractive shrubs and small trees native to New York are:
Red bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi)
Alternate-leaf dogwood (Cornus alternifolia)
American strawberry-bush (Euonymus americana)
Red chokecherry (Photinia pyrifolia)
If there are flatter areas on the hill, perhaps that would be the best place to clear and sow wildflowers along with attractive native grasses. Grasses have several functions in a wildflower meadow; for instance, filling in spaces between the flowers, providing protection from erosion, and adding color and texture. I suggest you visit our Native Plant Library to find two articles, "Wildflower Meadow Gardening" and "Large Scale Wildflower Planting" that would be useful in your project. Here are some suggested grasses and wildflowers:
Canada wild rye (Elymus canadensis), spring bloom
Little bluestem (Schizachrium scoparium) summer and fall bloom
Prairie dropseed (Sporobolus heterolepis) summer bloom
Spring wildflowers:
Red columbine (Aquilegia canadensis)
Lance-leaved coreopsis ( Coreopsis lanceolata)
Narrow-leaf blue-eyed-grass (Sisyrinchium angustifolium)
Summer and fall wildflowers:
Butterfly-weed (Asclepias tuberosa
Dense gayfeather (Liatris spicata)
Cardinal flower ( Lobelia cardinalis)
Mexican hat (Ratibida columnifera)
Smooth aster (Symphyotrichum laeve var. laeve)
Your goal, I assume, would be to have the area attractive year round and not just during the seasons when the wildflowers are blooming. With this is mind, you might consider ferns in some areas:
Crested wood fern ( Dryopteris cristata)
Marginal wood fern (Dryopteris marginalis)
Since I don't know completely the character of your area, not all of the suggestions may be appropriate. You can look for more possibilities by doing a "Combination Search" in our Native Plants Database where you can narrow your search by making choices for: Bloom Characteristics, Growth Form, Growing Conditions, and Distribution. Finally, you can search for sources of native plants and seeds in your area by visiting our National Suppliers Directory.

Great beach if you are walking through Oak Bluffs. Locals use this beach as well, there are bathrooms with showers at one end near the fishing pier and Steamship authority.
It was a chilly day but beautiful day to walk our dog in a stunning place. We watched the ferry come in and the fishing boats go out near sunset. Fall is wonderful on the Vineyard.
Nice free beach. Close to our hotel and close to Oak Bluff Town. No problem to take a stroller with you.
Located ideally next to tourist area and hotels. Calm waters and not very deep. I walked out about 100 yards before the water got deep. The sand is rocky but filled with shells which would be great for kids. No alcohol allowed signs are for the most part ignored on the beaches around the island which is great for grown...
Enough beach for everyone, but maybe not quite enough parking ;-)
easy to find a fairly quiet spot, plenty of sand to spread yourself out. If the wind is too much on the ocean side, try the pond across the road.
Not sure I would make a special trip to go to the Oak Bluffs beach but if you are staying nearby it is quite nice. It is not as deep as south beach and the waves are not as big but it is also a little warmer.
We didn't come here to sunbathe or play in the surf, just to take a break from shopping. It was very pebbly, lots of shells, and not too insanely crowded!
The weather was great, so we walked from the Oak Bluff Marina and tried to find a patch of sand to call our own. It was difficult. The beach was packed, The sand is yellow and soft and the water was tranquil so we did make the best of it, but it was very crowded
Loved this quiet beach, steps from The Pequot Hotel. Breathtaking views of the sunrise. Great walking path.
Loved that the beach is close enough to walk to from our room in Oak Bluffs. The beach was clean and the people were a wonderful mix of families and groups just having fun.

The project is planned at 2202 S. Kinnickinnic Ave. The site is currently occupied by two buildings, one a two-story 133-year-old building and the other a two-story 91-year-old building, and a surface parking lot. The property was formerly occupied by Faust Music.
Dermond Property Investment's proposed $12 million development would have 72 market rate apartments, 2,300 square feet of retail space and 79 parking spaces. The apartments would consist of 8 micro units, 12 studio units, 44 one-bedroom units and 8 two-bedroom units.
Many of the apartments in the building will look out over Zillman Park. The building is designed by Joel Agacki of Striegel-Agacki Studio.

Born into both the Golden Saddle Cyclery Wheelie Fun Crew and the Cadence Suffer Club!
About a year ago my friend Jeff Traugott sent me these photos. They were all taken by a fellow Santa Cruzan, "Rat" aka Bob Landry. I held onto them while looking for the right time to share them and so when Bicycle Times Magazine asked me to photograph Jeff for their Issue 33 I figured now is as good a time as any. Jeff has an immense history on the bicycle, but if you read the article in Bicycle Times you will learn he is an incredible Luthier, making guitars one at a time for world renowned guitar players. Below is the contents of Jeff's first email to me which included the photos, and then I decided to ask him a couple follow up questions. This is all unedited, I only inserted a few clarifying names in brackets…

Jam and Cheese on Bread
My friend is hosting a charity event. The walk around food he wants it to be includes my jams and bread slices with cheese pairings. Combinations as the guest would eat it at home. I can think of red tomato jam and cheddar cheese on whole wheat, hot pepper jam with cream cheese on challah, fig jam and goat cheese on baguette slice, and then I run out of ideas. No meat or other condiments allowed, no heating, just bread, cheese, jam and chutney. Can you help me with ideas? I make 50 different sweet jams and 6 chutneys so what you name I've probably made. Thank you !
I make a cranberry/raspberry/ habanero jam that is heaven on a baguette with goat cheese....or Maytag Blue.
Strawberry jam and mascarpone ( is that allowed?) on brioche.
Not sure what your bread options are, but here are some combos of cheese and jam that work...
pear jam and Maytag Blue
mango or peach and Stilton that has mango in it
apple pie jam (or apple butter) with white cheddar
cherry jam with cream cheese or triple brie
I'm sure you'll get more ideas. I would go to a good cheese shop and do some tasting.
I'm thinking more about what cheeses I like, and what preserves go well with them.
Hot pepper jelly on brie or camembert
I like Seville or red grapefruit marmalade on Dubliner, actually I love bitter marmalade on just about anything
Apricot chutney on boucheron
Savory herb jelly over feta or chevre
Balsamic red pepper jelly over gorgonzola dolce

Sims 4 – Bug Vindication
After getting all shirty with my excessive multiple births in the Sims 4 (here and here among others), across no less than three legacy families (one of which I didn't even bother blogging about), it turns out that I was right. It warn't nat'ral. It was a bug. Which has now been fixed.
From the Sims 4 patch notes (a useful link for any Sims 4 player if you don't have it already):
- Sim fertility levels had reached an all-time high recently, and twins were popping out all over! Our specialists have examined the issue, and administered a correction to the abundant babies. Sims should no longer find they are having twins (or triplets) at an alarming rate.
That was in the January patch, so I guess I've been ignoring the Sims for some time now. And in the February patch, they added genealogy – and about damn time, said every Sims player evar, even the ones who don't play legacies, because duh.
Also from the patch notes:
- Genealogy is now available. You'll be able to look at your Sims' family history, including brothers and sisters, mothers, fathers, grandparents (and some greats, and great greats, and…), step relationships (like Step-Father), half relationships (like Half Brother), and of course, Spouses.
I shall close with a picture of Parcheesi being followed by creepy-stalker Gordon, because I rediscovered it in my screenshots folder and because I couldn't find an appropriate celebration-screenie that didn't involve lots of babies and/or pregnant women. Including this one, as it turns out. But at least I wasn't Wi-flagged in the Sims 4. I wonder if I saved my Mirage Legacy saves, or whether I deleted them in a fit of pique…
Too much of a good thing
Sometimes, like today, I'm almost nostalgic for the days when I only had one or two games to choose from. I've got no work on today and likely none over the weekend either (yay!), and I'm faced with so many games I don't know which to choose.
There's World of Warcrack, and the expansion remains highly entertaining. I've got 4 level 100 chars with garrisons to manage and stuff to accumulate, which is always fun, even though it sucks up time like a black hole. Eventually I'm sure the luster will pale but nothing beats WoW for simple, mindless levelling joy. I don't dungeon, so my go-to in WoW tends to be to find (or make) an alt and just quest for a few hours. It's relaxing — and that's why I play WoW. It's also where I hang out on Vent with old WoW and Asheron's Call friends and get my dose of socialising for the
month week day.
Then there's Elite: Dangerous, which is exactly the opposite. I did get it installed and I did get in to play, once, but that was over a week ago and, I'll admit, I'm super intimidated by the game. No game has ever made me feel quite as noobish and useless as this one does. I don't even know how to fly the ship. I didn't expect flying the beginner ship would be quite that difficult (and I'm not the only one*). I actually expected that I'd be able to pick it up in a half hour or so and then start doing the trading and possibly mining thing, which was why I bought the game. Instead I feel like a noob, in a bad way, and I'm not sure I want to try again. But I will, if only because $60 for a half hour of entertainment is not really good value… and because I fully expect that eventually — provided I play enough to feel comfortable with the controls — I will love the game and play it to death, because it's exactly the sort of thing I enjoy.
I also picked up Civilization: Beyond Earth during one of the (many, thank god, because I suck at catching them) Steam sales for that game. Don't believe the people who tell you it's only superficially like Civ — it's 110% Civ, just Civ in space with aliens instead of barbarians and a revamped tech tree (it's a wheel now). However, that's not a bad thing in my book and the new tweaks in the game are a lot of fun. I tend to play this on the non-nightmare modes and I prefer non-military victories, so it's another relatively mindless exploration and building game.**
Sims 4 is of course still kicking around, though I don't think I've fired it up in most of a month. I think I'm holding a grudge with the bugs that hit my Mirage legacy, not to mention the fact that none of my Sims are able to have children without having twins or triplets. It's amusing to write about, but it gets real old real fast when you're trying to play. Less is more in this case. I guess I could go with adoption… I dunno. I'm still a little narked about the whole thing, so I'll pretend the Sims 4 aren't in my game case for a few months and then go back to it. As far as single-player games go, the Sims is one of the most enduring for me so it's a fair bet I won't ignore it forever.
I also picked up Theme: Hospital by accident on Origin the other day, mostly for nostalgia's sake and because it was a freebie. Memory served up this image of people chain-vomiting in the halls and that sounded like fun in the middle of flu season, but I haven't had time to fire it up yet. Still, it should be good for a few hours of remember-when fun.
The Secret World keeps looking at me sadly because I update it and then don't log in. Again, I think right now I want mindless from my games, and TSW requires a little more attention than I'm willing to give. Which is a shame, because as far as atmosphere goes it's probably my favourite MMO ever (and the one in which I take the most screenshots).
And then, in no particular order because the post is getting long, the other icons on my desktop include Diablo III (never made it past level 15 or so), Landmark (haven't logged on in months because it gave my gfx card fits), EQ2 (still haven't bought the Altar of Malice expansion, though I'm sure I will sooner or later), and Shroud of the Avatar (ditto the not logging on in months, though really I put money into it to support the development, not to have it wtfbbqNAO). Oh, and all 3 Dragon Age games, of course. I barely played DA2 and only spent a couple of hours in DA3 (not even sure I made it out of the first section), and I'm sure DA3 is worth some more intensive play. I can't be arsed to link all those, so let your fingers do the Googling.
It's actually a great thing to have a butt-ton of games to play and not know which to pick. I tend to default to WoW at the moment because I can pick it up and put it down easily and it doesn't have the "just … 5 … more … minutes!" hold on me some of the other games have, which is helpful these days because on the list of useful and/or productive things to be doing with my time, games are not anywhere near the top, nor should they be.
But still, sometimes I kind of wish I only had one or two games to pick from. It would mean less time wasted gazing at my desktop and wondering which flavour I'm in the mood for today. #firstworldwoes and all.
* Ermahgerd, a pingback circle jerk! That's just so wrong.
** You may be sensing a theme here. Yes, I prefer my games to not engage my adrenal glands too much. For one thing, adrenaline and I don't get along all that well (I am the exact opposite of a thrill-seeker), and for another I play games to unwind, which for me means generally laid-back and not requiring an excessive amount of thought. Oh god, I've just branded myself a disgusting casual carebear player. However will I cope with the stigma?
WoW – Ghostly wishes
I would like for these to be tameable because my hunter wants one. I'm more of a cat-person in WoW, but these guys are super cute. (Yes, I have a couple of the non-ghostly ones from the Plaguelands.)
I would also like for my Warlock to have ghostly form all the time, because it's super cool. Kthxbai.
WoW – drood powa
I used to get annoyed at druids in PvP in WoW, because the little buggers are unkillable, sort of like paladins only more moonkinny. Then again, I've always had a love-hate relationship with droods. I made one early on and never really played her. Made another and never really played her either – and so on. Each time I've come back to WoW I've made another druid (to start fresh or some such smart reason) and never played her.
Last year, however, I finally made one as a hermit char and played her up to 60, which took about 17.4 seconds with the new levelling and a couple of heirloom xp items. (For those who don't know: a hermit character is one nobody else knows about so you can play them when you're not feeling sociable. Of course, the whole e-mailfriends WoW thing, whatever it's called, puts the kibosh on that because they can see you're online no matter who you're playing, but that's okay; I've only got 2 of those and we don't bug each other a whole lot.) And then she sat there for a few months, gathering rest xp and dust, until I brushed her off again during the Xmas break.
Now, while I don't particularly want to gush… OMGWTFBBQOPSMASHRIPRIP! Druids are fun, especially feral druids when it comes to my own playstyle. Sneak around when you need to, claw-shred-rip the crap out of stuff when you want, heal when required, claw-shred-rip some more, rinse repeat. I'll grant you it doesn't require a whole lot of keys and it's not all that varied, but none of that matters in the face of shredding the opposition before they even know what's hit them.
So my little druid is now 70 and claw-shred-ripping her way through the aptly-named Northrend. I don't want to like her more than my hunter, who is my day 1 character (hell, Eloise is a remake of my beta character so she's like a million years old in MMO years), but… well… who needs a pet when you can be your own pet? And flight form rocks, especially the faster purple flight form.
I've also been indulging in pet battles. I'm still shocked at how addictive those are if you let them be, especially when you get complacent about how good your main team is (mechanical gnome, nexus wyrm, flayer hatchling) and then one of the battle masters hands you your ass; not once, but three times. After the third time I realised it was time to a) level my guys a little and b) find some team members who weren't going to be insta-roasted by the Shadowmoon guy's horrible little flame elemental.
There's something for me about WoW that other people report finding in GW2, which is uncomplicated fun. I've logged in to TSW a few times and though I still love the game, it just demands too much thought from me at the moment. So I'm dabbling in TSW for brief, cogitation-laden sessions and then going back to WoW to relax. I'm just glad I have several games I can hop around in and only one I need to be paying for.
TSW – The Dreaded Alt Quandary
I know, I know, we don'tneed alts in The Secret World. And yet, here I am.
I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm having a hard time getting into the game the way I want to. Not because I don't love the game, far from it, but there's a certain distance there that I want to bridge in order to really 'immerse' myself (apply whatever definition of the word suits you).
For one thing, I felt as though I was going too fast with Ysharros, zipping through some stuff because I'd seen it in beta, ignoring all the lovely conversation options with NPCs because I'd seen them in beta, not letting my sense of wonder out of the box because I'd seen it in beta.
A large part of the problem seems to be my comparing myself to a close RL friend who is also playing, and who is a fast leveller. She's already in the Savage Coast – hell, I suspect she's in the Blue Mountains by now, and for some reason I keep feeling like I'm being left behind. Thing is, it's not like she's telling me to hurry up – I have my pace, she has hers, and there's no question that one should hurry or wait for the other. But I still felt like I was or needed to be playing catch-up.
So this morning I made a character on the RP
server – err, dimension, which is something I was wanting to do anyway. (Marvellous as it is, the one thing my long, long-time guild is not is an RP guild. It's not even particularly supportive of RP, though it doesn't disparage or prevent it. But we have some players who are made very uncomfortable by the concept – so yeah, not an RP guild.)
All hail Mysericorde (curses to whoever got the original!), another Dragon. I hesitated at the faction screen for quite a while between Templar and Dragon, but Myz already knew what she was and, while she could probably have joined either (she's a morally limber type), that whole flexibility made her seem more one than the other. Someday though I'm going to make a Templar-rad who wants to change things from the inside – I've always loved me a good rebel with an impossible cause.
Given that I know what a misericorde actually is, I was very tempted to go blades even though there's no such thing as daggers. Then I decided I was being too literal and also decided to push my comfort envelope a little with starting weapons. I've not been terribly attracted to pistols in TSW so far, but that's what I'm trying for now. Probably paired with Blood Magic (which I think follows the Assassin deck template, iirc, but don't quote me).
The thing is, Myz is going to be taking her time. Myz has a personality that isn't entirely my own and that isn't simply an extension of myself, as my Ysharros characters tend to be. I'm not sure how much I'll RP with folks, but I certainly won't get in the way of it and I'm open to it despite my previously-stated discomfort with MMO-based RP. Give me a table and paper (and maybe some dice) and I'm much more comfortable – but we'll see.
Point being, if Myz isn't comfortable with her chosen weapons, she'll take the time to train herself in others. She has lots of questions, which will take time to answer, and she has plans and long-term goals, which may change as she finds out more. But whether I want to or not, she's going to stop and talk to anyone who has anything at all to say, and you can be damn sure she'll be taking notes and trying to put everything together.
The only downside when it comes to playing with my RL friend (which we don't do too often anyway, our pace is too different) is that I won't be able to PvP with her since that's dimension-specific. And that's it. So what's the harm in me moulding the game and my playstyle to my liking rather than… whatever it was I was doing the last few days? None.
No real point to this other than that if you're not entirely comfortable in TSW yourself, for whatever reason – you have enough options available to try to make it fit you better. It's worth a shot. This isn't WoW. If I have one piece of advice to give to most, it's don't race to the finish. In this one the journey really IS the answer.
Edit – Oh yeah, and I added a few screenies to the TSW screens page.

Sixteen paintings by luminaries of modern Indian art will be featured in Bharat Ratna! Jewels of Modern Indian Art, on view at the
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
(MFA), from November 14, 2009August 22, 2010. These vibrant Bharat Ratnaliterally Jewels of Indiaare drawn from the renowned collection of Mr. and Mrs. Rajiv Jahangir Chaudhri, who have assembled some of the finest examples of post-Independence Indian art. The exhibition represents the first time that a significant number of works from this collection will be displayed publicly. It is also the first exhibition of modern Indian art at the MFA, and the first exhibition of Indian art at a major American museum in nearly 30 years. Hotel sponsorship provided by Taj Boston.
The Chaudhris have collected some of the most outstanding examples of modernist and contemporary Indian art, which document the evolution of a vibrant and influential artistic period in India, said Malcolm Rogers, Ann and Graham Gund Director of the MFA. The MFA is grateful for the opportunity to display such exquisite treasures.
Rajiv Chaudhri says, I am a firm believer in the idea that the art of all ages and regions is the common heritage of mankind. Since Egyptian, Greek, and Chinese art are part of my heritage, it follows that I also believe that Indian art is, or should be, part of the heritage of America, Europe and other regions of the world. Bravo to the MFA for taking the leadership role in this area.
Bharat Ratna! offers a visually exciting dialogue between the evolving modernism of western art and the deeply rooted traditions of India and the multiple different approaches that Indian artists took, in the aftermath of Independence, to define their own and Indian art. On view in the MFAs Indian Paintings and Decorative Arts Gallery, the exhibition includes works by several of the leading members of the Progressive Artists Group of Bombay: Krishnaji Howlaji Ara (191485), Maqbool Fida Husain (b. 1915), Sayed Haider Raza (b. 1922), and Francis Newton Souza (19242002). Their paintingsoften created with vivid hues and abstract imageryreflect the unsettled period of artistic creation that occurred as India struggled to achieve independence from British colonial rule, the bloody Partition and the heady, idealistic period that followed, of fashioning a new India and new Indian art.
Reacting against the nationalist and conservative precepts of the Bengal School, the Progressives wove principles of western modernism into the rich fabric of Indian art, creating a unique avant-garde identity as seen in the golden-toned Ganesh Darwaza (1964) by M.F. Husain, also known as the Picasso of India, who captured the humanity, myths, legends, gods and goddesses of his distinctly Indian subjects. Equally vibrant is S.H. Razas Untitled (from the Rajasthan Series) (1975), which evokes the brilliant colors of Jain and Rajasthani miniatures in its spirited depiction of the Indian countryside. In contrast, F.N. Souzas more contemplative painting, Man and Woman (1954), draws from his strict Catholic upbringing in the Portuguese colony of Goa. This haunting work offers a portrait of two saint-like figures pierced by the arrows of martyrdom. Meanwhile Aras painting, Bharata Natya shows the famous Indian temple dancer Ram Gopal in classical dance pose with a meticulous eye for the natural fluidity of the body, reminiscent of ancient Indian sculpture.
Although the Progressives flourished as a group only briefly, from 194756, other artists who joined later and became part of the circle are also represented in Bharat Ratna! by Vasudeo S. Gaitonde (19242001), Krishen Khanna, (b. 1925), Ram Kumar (b. 1924), Tyeb Mehta (19252009), and Akbar Padamsee (b. 1928). V.S. Gaitondes lush tonal landscape Untitled (c. 1970) shows the artists attention to the nuances of light, color, and space. His manipulation of multiple thin layers of paint creates a luminous depth of hue. As with many of his contemporaries, Gaitonde was influenced by western art and the works of such leading figures as Joan Miró, Wassily Kandinsky, and Paul Klee. Ram Kumar abandoned the stylized figure painting characteristic of his early years abroad (studying in Paris) and developed, upon returning home, a spiritual tie to his native landscape. This is evidenced in Untitled (c. 1970), featuring a sweeping array of blues, oranges, greens, and grays. Its drama contrasts with the poignancy of Mehtas Falling Figure with Bird (c. 1988), which reflects the violence and social upheaval of 1947 witnessed by the artist during his countrys rebirth. In this painting, the bird and human body are frozen in horror as they spiral down from the sky above to the depths below.
The exhibition also includes Untitled (1960) by Avinash Chandra (193191), known for his boldly colored, sensually, abstract works reminiscent of mosaics or stained glass. Chandra was a member of the Delhi Silpi Chakra, another progressive collaborative formed by artists in the aftermath of independence and partition who hoped to create a new national culture. In addition, Bharat Ratna! features the painting Munna Appas Kitchen (1994) by Arpita Singh (b. 1937), one of her dream-like, densely colored works capturing a magical world where familiar objects assume a life unto themselves around a middle-aged woman. Also showcased is The Tree, the Bird, the Shadow (1981) by Jagdish Swaminathan (192894), one of his most famous works, which is part of a visionary series that explores space and landscape. Swaminathan was a founder of Group 1890, which was formed in 1962 to find a contemporary visual vocabulary for Indian art that would offer an alternative to, as he saw it, the east-meets-west hybrid art of the Progressives.
Paintings by Jehangir Sabavala (b. 1922), Kattingeri Krishna Hebbar (19111996), Gulam Rasool Santosh (b. 1929), and Ganesh Pyne (b. 1937) are also on view in the exhibition. All 16 works will be featured in a 32-page color publication, which includes essays by Rajiv Chaudhri and Edward Saywell, Chair of Contemporary Art and MFA Programs, and curator of Bharat Ratna!
Rajiv and Payal Chaudhri have generously lent several of their works to the MFA in recent years and have enhanced the Museums displays of contemporary art from South Asia. They are Patrons of the MFA, and members of its Art of Asia, Oceania, and Africa Visiting Committee. Chaudhri is President of Digital Century, a financial services firm that he founded in 1997. Previously, he was vice president in the investment research department at Goldman, Sachs, where he led its global semiconductor research effort and was a member of the investment strategy committee. Chaudhri started collecting posters of Indian artists when he was 13, later graduating to collecting original art in the early 1990s. He was the founding Chairman of the Indocenter of Art and Culture in New York, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the presentation and support of modern and contemporary art and culture of South Asia, which ran from 2000-2002.
