Prequel and class-based multiplayer system confirmed.
Following last week's Game Informer reveal, it has been confirmed that the next game in the Gears of War series will be named Gears of War: Judgement.
The game is in development with Bulletstorm developer People Can Fly and will follow the story of Damon Baird and Augustus Cole aka The Cole Train of previous Gears fame as part of Kilo squad.
As previously hinted at, Judgement will be a prequel set 15 years before the original Gears of War.
"People Can Fly is heavily involved in both the campaign and multiplayer, but especially the campaign," said Fergusson.
"This is something we have initiated. We proposed the story and the gameplay hooks. Basically everything about campaign was initiated by People Can Fly. Obviously there is heavy involvement from Epic. I like to think about as the best of both worlds. On one hand we bring something fresh to the franchise, but on the other hand we have the original creators making sure it's still Gears."
As hinted at by Game Informer's cover art, the squad will stand trial for transgressions against the Coalition of Governments.
"The testimonies are being over seen by Colonel Loomis, a by the-books COG leader who accused the team of desertion, cowardice, trespassing, theft of experiment military tech and treason," revealed Epic Games's director of production Rod Fergusson.
Gears's multiplayer will be overhauled with a class-based system for both COGs and Locust enemies. Cog vs. Locust mode, Overrun, is also said to have a Team Fortress 2/DOTA 2-style of play.
Traditional multiplayer modes including Horde is expected to make a return in Judgement.
More details on the plot and class-based system can be found on Epic Games's forums.
A full-scale reveal is slated for Microsoft's E3 presser later this afternoon.

orenoun (Concise Encyclopedia)
Aggregate of economically important minerals that is sufficiently rich to separate for a profit. Although more than 3,500 mineral species are known, only about 100 are considered ore minerals. The term originally applied only to metallic minerals (see native element) but now includes such nonmetallic substances as sulfur, calcium fluoride (fluorite), and barium sulfate (barite). Ore is always mixed with unwanted rocks and minerals, known collectively as gangue. The ore and the gangue are mined together and then separated. The desired element is then extracted from the ore. The metal may be still further refined (purified) or alloyed with other metals.

What is an Honoree?
An Honoree is someone who provides inspiration to our athletes throughout the training and fundraising period. Honorees serve as symbols of strength and motivation, support and determination. An Honoree is someone who is currently is being treated for Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
Each of our TEAM CHALLENGE participants is matched up with an Honoree. Honorees have the unique opportunity to connect with individuals who have committed themselves to raising funds for the fight against Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. They will share their strength and courage with participants who are training to complete their endurance event.
Meet our Honoree: Henry Auerbach:
My story starts like a lot of others with Crohn's. At age 16 I started showing symptoms and ultimately experienced my first flare. Being the cool 16 year old that I was, I hid the symptoms (bloody bowel movements 12 times a day) from my parents for as long as I could. Finally, the symptoms became obvious, my weight dropped drastically, and the pain became indescribable. I had no idea that this was just the beginning...
That first hospital stay lasted 4 weeks and consisted of a fairly regular routine: the doctors would visit in the morning, I rolled around in pain for a few hours, had my afternoon cocktail of IV pain meds, IV antibiotics, IV nutrition (I was going on weeks without food) and the occasional blood transfusion to cap off the night. My parents basically moved into the hospital with me and their presence made a world of difference. After a very strong attack of IV steroids the flare had calmed down and I was sent home on Thanksgiving Day 2002. It was a long four months before I had the strength to return to high school full time and slowly worked my way back into everyday life.
The years that followed seemed to be pretty normal. I went off to college taking only a few meds that most Crohn's patients have in common. A minor flare here and there, the occasional crippling stomach pains, but all in all college life was good.
Then the plot thickened....
I was scheduled for a routine colonoscopy during my sophomore year of college. During the colonoscopy, the scope perforated my colon. The exact spot could not be determined. After four days in the hospital in extreme pain while waiting to see if the colon would heal itself, it was determined that I needed an emergency colectomy and ileostomy. I had always discussed the J-pouch with my parents as a potential treatment but again, I never imagined it would happen like this.
Three surgeries later, one staph infection, and a total of five weeks in the hospital; I now live everyday without a colon. I carry my malformed stomach with pride. I still have complications and flares, but for the most part live an extremely amazing, healthy life! Although exercise had been something I learned to avoid, with the support of my wife I now train every day. Team Challenge has provided me an outlet to give back to my community and help others in my situation, while I get so much more from the experience.

Bullock assesses his first year
Date: November 14, 2012
by: Kurt Schultheis | Managing Editor
When asked to provide an overall letter grade for his first year on the job as the town manager of Longboat Key, Dave Bullock doesn't need any time to think about it. He's already graded himself.
"I deserve a 'C,'" Bullock said.
Bullock's self-imposed grade is a far cry from the evaluations received from his seven bosses. The Longboat Key Town Commission, overall, gave him glowing remarks for its annual review and didn't even feel the need to discuss his performance in public at a workshop.
Refusing to grade himself on individual categories, Bullock said there's a reason for his "C" rating.
"I would have liked to resolve the pension issue sooner and had a bit more success permitting sand structures for the north end," Bullock said. "I also want to continue forging solid relationships with both counties to make sure we are treated equally with the rest of the neighboring municipalities. Sometimes it's easy to forget about Longboat Key because we don't need or ask for a lot."
The college-history-major-turned-public-servant said a phrase from a former history professor has stuck with him throughout his career.
"A professor once said that if you have a career in government, you will always find yourself at the intersection of individual versus community," Bullock said. "Forty years later, I remember those words and they are a bull's-eye for my job."
That phrase is the main reason Bullock met a self-imposed goal in his first year to meet with at least 100 residents, to gauge their sense of community and what they expect from their town.
He asked them all what they like most about living on Longboat Key.
"They all said they could choose to live anywhere they want, but they choose to live here," Bullock said.
Bullock said despite perceived differences between the north and south ends of the island, residents from all over the Key have an overwhelming sense of community.
"I don't see a perceived disconnect from north end and south end residents," Bullock said. "I see an overwhelming love for the community regardless of what block number you live in."
That sense of community, according to Bullock, means that discussions of a community center and even a future town center should continue to be explored.
"Communities that have done (town centers) well serve as a positive thing in the community," Bullock said. "When we get what residents want, they will let us know and will help us approve it. One of the gifts of this community is there is no shortage of informed opinions."
Year two
The town manager sits in his office Monday, wearing a tie with a Monet painting on it from his collection of more than 100 ties, surrounded by disheveled paperwork that's not organized to the naked eye. But it works for Bullock.
"Ask me where anything is on this desk and I can get it for you right away," Bullock said.
When asked about his plans for his second year, Bullock said his first year was all about an external focus, meeting residents and learning about the island.
"The coming year will be more of an internal focus, making sure departments and employees are working to efficiently offer services to our residents," said Bullock, who is already utilizing Town Engineer Anne Ross as a consultant on special projects and keeping an eye on her for future management opportunities. "I want to see employees refocused with a universal goal to help make this community better," said Bullock.
Bullock calls his employees "a high-performing team that needs to make sure it is in a continuous learning mode."
He also hopes to convert pension plans to 401(a) plans and/or find amicable resolutions with the unions on those matters; oversee future redevelopment proposals such as the Longboat Key Hilton Beachfront Resort; find a balance of good cellular service with which all residents can agree; and find a residential/commercial/tourism balance that residents agree upon through the work of a future consultant and public hearings.
"There's a lot of cool stuff coming up," Bullock said.
Bullock said after his first year on the Key, he feels his main responsibility to residents is to ensure Longboat Key remains a highly desirable place to live.
"I take that responsibility very seriously," Bullock said.
His ongoing goal, Bullock said, is to keep asking: What is the future of Longboat Key?
"In 50 years, I want someone to still say, 'I can live anywhere in the world, and I choose to live on Longboat Key,'" Bullock said. "To achieve that, we always need to be looking into the future."
Bullock said the day he can't make Longboat Key any better than it is today is the day he will tender his resignation.
"I'm a subscriber to continuous improvement," Bullock said. "Sitting around complacent in your job position is not in my DNA."

OK, lets see... hmmm... you are threatening your employees with the worst pension in the State of Florida, denying any pay raises for nearly 5 years and foster an adversarial work environment, bordering upon hostile; and you want employees to "refocus?" That's like asking an Army to refocus behind them when the enemy is out in front. Ridiculous. Stop your attacks and then they will refocus!
- Bullock calls his employees "a high-performing team that needs to make sure it is in a continuous learning mode."
Well, many employees would like to keep learning, but you've virtually decimated everyone's training budget! And under the current environment, you want your employees to pay out of pocket for an education that ultimately benefits the Town?... When does this take, take, take, stop?

Rider Interview Michele Ratti MoralesFeb-01-2013
This is rider interview with a young Spanish rider who we have seen on the PKRA for a few years. Michele Ratti Morales could become a strong competitor over the next few years.
Name: Michele Ratti Morales
I am training in El Medano, Tenerife this is my home spot where I train, because I'm studying in high school and I don't travel so much around the world.
2. What was your focus during training, specific moves, style, recovering from injury?
My focus for training this winter was to get used to riding boots because before I was riding with foot straps. I was also working on the doubles and to improve my tricks with more power and style.
3. Did you do any cross training, conditioning, surf, snowboard, etc…how does it help your kiting?
4. What PKRA destinations are you looking forward to in 2013 and why?
This year I would like to do all the European and African stops, possibly: Dakhla, France, Italy, Germany, Fuerteventura and Essaouira. It is easier to travel to all the European events and it is during the summer when I do not have school. It is also less expensive and my parents will help me.
5. What are your sponsors, any changes on the off season and why? What kites are you riding? How they help your riding, what board, straps or bindings, why?
Until now I haven't found any sponsors to help me, only a little shop here in el Medano that he gives me a discount on all the material, so this is an advantage for me, better than nothing.
6. Which rider do you think will make an entry into the top 10(if you why).
I think this year the top 10 riders will be the same, I do not see too much changing.
7. What moves/style/execution/power will be the biggest factor for you in 2013 in winning your heats?
The biggest factor for me winning heats in 2013 will be power, because now all the riders are in the same level and the factor that determines who win is the power and the style of tricks, but the power is more important because it's difficult to make all the tricks in all conditions with the kite 45 degrees or less; so for me the power is very important.
8. Why do you come on the PKRA?
I come to the PKRA because the best riders in the world are on this tour. I battle against them for my place on the world ranking and to learn how to compete. Seeing the best riders competing against each to a great way to learn how to compete and improve my riding.
9. Are you thinking of doing any crossover into Slalom, to do both disciplines at the events?
Yes of course why not? I think it's great a new discipline to try something new to have fun it's good and if you win better :)
10. What are your personal goals for 2013 in kiting, life and business? How does the PKRA fit in?
My personal goal for competitions is to do better than the last year, trying to get in to the top 10 and doing my best at every event. Another goal is to pass my driver's license. :)
11. What is the kite magazine of your Native country and favorite website for kiting news?
I like Kitespain and my favorite website for kiting news is kitemovement.com.

Painted Lady
Family:Nymphalidae (brushfooted butterflies)
Adult: Like the American lady (V. virginiensis), this is an orange and black butterfly with white spots on the dark forewing tips and white cobwebbing on the brown undersides of the hindwings. Painted ladies have four small eyespots on the underside of the hindwing. Seen from above, the wide dark median forewing band is not broken into two parts, and the spots on the hindwing are well separated.
Larvae are greenish yellow to lavender, with yellowish spines and a yellow lateral stripe on the sides.
Size:Wingspan: 1¾–2½ inches.
Habitat and conservation:This butterfly is found worldwide, with the exception of South America and Antarctica. It occurs in nearly any kind of open habitat.
Foods:Caterpillars construct a silk nest on the leaves of their host plants, which shelters them as they chew. They prefer thistle (Circium) leaves but use over 100 species of herbaceous plants, frequently in the sunflower family but also other plant families. The ability of the caterpillars to feed on a wide variety of plants is one factor in the nearly worldwide range of this species. The adults feed on the nectar from a variety of flowers.
Distribution in Missouri:Statewide.
Status:Breeding summer resident.
Life cycle:Painted ladies arrive from the south in late March and fly until November. There are multiple broods. They frequently lay eggs on host plants within patches of nectar flowers even if those plants don't provide for optimal caterpillar growth. Increasing a female's sugar consumption increases her longevity and the total number of eggs she lays. Painted ladies lay a large number of small eggs in a lifetime, opting for quantity over quality.
Human connections:The commonness and abundance of this butterfly makes it an excellent subject for biological investigation. Schoolchildren witness the process of larval growth and metamorphosis. Professional biologists study the migration patterns and mating behaviors.
Ecosystem connections:The caterpillars are herbivores that graze on vegetation. The adults serve a role in pollination. All stages provide food for predators. In years when the populations of this species are especially large, the larvae serve as a check on thistle populations.

This blog has always been about me…until now. So for this week's photo challenge, I'd like to shift the story from me. Instead of asking myself what makes me happy, I asked my colleagues what makes them happy and the challenge is to attach their meaning of happiness to a single word that is neither a person nor something tangible. Most of them knew the answer instantly while some took time to come up with a one-word idea the summarizes everything that makes them happy. Here are the words they came up with.
Do you have similar words associated with happiness? Join the Weekly Photo Challenge and find out what makes other people happy.
Here are the words from those who are kind enough to share their own. Thanks a lot! Check out their sites and you will understand better why they chose these words.

I used the circular type gallery as mentioned in the challenge and I really like this new feature. But I originally wanted a 3-column gallery but it seems it doesn't work for my current theme. That blank space beside the last photo is a little off but I guess I am not yet ready to change my theme for that. I'm also having some problems with the sizes of the photos. If my gallery consists of 10 photos, one of them becomes extra large. If I cut it down to 8 photos, 2 of them get resized. Perhaps this is a bug but I just can't wait to post for this week's challenge.

Plug-in Accord First to Meet New CA Emission Standard
Published: 31-Dec-2012
SACRAMENTO, California, – The California Air Resources Board has approved Honda's first plug-in hybrid as the first car that meets the state's newest and most stringent smog-emission standard.
The 2014 Honda Plug-In Hybrid Accord is the first gasoline-powered car to meet California's SULEV20 standard, the toughest in the nation and one-third cleaner than the previous lowest state standard.
This Honda model has lower greenhouse gas emissions than the fleet average standard required by all cars in 2025, the equivalent of a 50 percent reduction from current required levels.

Evangelists Reinhard Bonnke and Daniel Kolenda talk about the succession of leadership at Christ for all Nations and their ministry expectations going forward
MINISTRY TODAY: Why did you decide to appoint a successor to your ministry?
REINHARD BONNKE: I want the extraordinary harvest of souls to continue for as long as the opportunity lasts. What my team and I have experienced since the year 2000 is possibly unparalleled in the history of the church—masses of precious souls have been pressing into the kingdom of God.
MINISTRY TODAY: The Lord has used you for more than 35 years to lead Christ for all Nations. Was it a difficult decision for you to give up the leadership?
Why the church must return the Great Commission to top priority
However, as one of the fivefold ministries given to the church, my perspective as an evangelist belongs with that of the apostle, the prophet, the pastor and teacher. Taken together, these five visions equip the saints to do the work of the ministry.
So, what does this evangelist see? I see two disturbing trends:
First, I see churches that are not increasing. They sit in communities where the population is growing, children are born, immigrants move in, jobs attract new families, government programs attract the needy, yet these churches remain stagnant. They are growing inward, forgetting the imperative of the Great Commission.
Africa, the 'dark continent' of history, is lit today with revival. Is America the new dark land—and can the same light shine here?
Those familiar with my story know that early in my ministry God gave me a vision of a blood-washed Africa. I saw an entire continent washed in the blood of the Lamb. How preposterous it seemed at the time! Today, not so much. This vision led and guided me to the astonishing harvest we see in Africa today.
With these millions coming to Jesus, some American friends have begun to ask, "What about a blood-washed America? Can it happen here?" My answer is, "Yes, of course." But I wonder, What sort of God do my American friends believe in? A God omnipotent in Africa and impotent in America? May it never be. The time has come to speak boldly of a blood-washed America. The gospel is the major force for change on earth, and I sense that America is ripe for change.
The church has been listening to the wrong voices. It has been paralyzed by lies. Professors of religion talk arrogantly of a post-Christian culture, as if this is somehow the graveyard of evangelism. Post-Christian? There is no such thing. The Word of God has never returned void in any generation. It has always remained quick, alive and sharper than a two-edged sword, no matter the label given by academia.
Knowing how Bibles are translated will help you pick the version you need
In translating any ancient text, determining how literal the translation should be must be decided first. To create a translation, one of three general methods is applied to the translating process: word-for-word or formal equivalence, in which the meaning of the original words is expressed; thought-for-thought or dynamic equivalence, in which the thoughts and ideas of the original text are expressed; paraphrase or functional equivalence, also a thought-for-thought method in which the thoughts and ideas of the original text are reworded for clarity or for a specific readership.
For this, the translator attempts a literal rendering of each word of the original language into the receptor language and seeks to preserve the original word order and sentence structure, without adding his ideas and thoughts.
Thus, the argument goes, the more literal the translation is, the less danger there is of corrupting the original message. Critics of this translation method say it assumes too much—specifically that the reader has a moderate degree of familiarity with the subject matter.
Also, a grammatically complete sentence does not always result from a word-for-word translation. Words must sometimes be added to complete the English sentence structure. Most printings of the King James Version, for example, italicize words that are implied but are not actually in the original source text. Thus, even a formal equivalence translation has at least some modification of sentence structure and regard for contextual usage of words.
The significance of a ministry shouldn't be measured by the type of people it is reaching
The year: 1967. The location:?Swallow Falls,?Md. A 7-year-old red-headed boy jumps out of the car, eager to embark on a long-awaited adventure. The sound of the cool, rushing water beckons him as he races to the crown of the cascade. At the first glimpse of the waterfall, his curious mind starts to wonder, Where's all this water going?
He jumps from rock to rock, working to gain a clearer view. Finally, he's close enough to peer over the edge, but just as he catches the first glimpse, his foot slips. He quickly begins the slide downward, when out of nowhere a hand reaches out and grabs his arm. The boy holds his breath for fear that any movement might cause the hand to lose grip. Wide-eyed, he watches as a gold watch falls from the wrist and takes its place among the rocks below. At last, he breathes in relief as he's pulled to safety.

Theater Review: 'Harvey'
Date: April 3, 2013
by: Paula Atwell | Theater Critic
"Harvey" is probably best known as a 1950 film starring Jimmy Stewart and Josephine Hull. Mary Chase, who was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for drama as a result, wrote the play. The Players' production captures all the old-fashioned quaintness of a slower, simpler time.
The plot revolves around the unintended adventures of Elwood P. Dowd (played with gentle sweetness bordering on passivity by Allen Kretschmar), a man who probably has no aspirations, whatsoever, having opted out of the rat race of his era. He spends his time visiting his many friends at various bars around town in the company of a 6-foot, 3 1/2-inch tall Pooka, in this case an anthropomorphic, invisible to most, rabbit named Harvey. Elwood is in the habit of introducing Harvey to all and sundry, thus causing his society-worshipping sister, Veta, nicely played by Laurie Zimmerman, and her daughter, Myrtle Mae, played with effective broadness by Alex Torres, great embarrassment.
Because Veta has become increasingly eager to entertain those she considers important and marry off her daughter, she fears that Elwood's behavior will scare off future suitors, so she decides to have him committed to a mental hospital. What follows is a comedy of errors, melded to a comedy of manners.
So, is Harvey real, or is he a figment of Elwood's imagination or possibly his alcoholism? Therein lies much of the appeal of the piece. The playwright posits that Harvey appeared to Elwood because, "I wrestled with reality for more than 40 years, and I'm glad to say, I finally won out over it," implying that it's letting go of getting and spending that's freed Elwood to become the kind and gentle man he is under the influence of Harvey. But, does she mean that it's better to be a harmless alcoholic than a rapacious businessman? It would seem so, because in Act II, Elwood passes Harvey along to another sour, self-centered man with the implication that he, too, will be cured of his selfishness.
At the heart of this play is a rather dour view of the foibles of humanity. Dowd, having overcome his own propensities through a rabbit, declares, "I'd almost be willing to live my life over again — almost."
Under the lively direction of Linda McCluggage, the talented cast brings the remaining characters to life. Rosalind Cramer performs a lively turn as Mrs. Ethel Chavenet; Amanda Heisey gives an efficient Ruth Kelly; Adam Garrison provides a testosterone-crazed Duane Wilson; Joseph Mammina serves up a confused Lyman Sanderson; Patti O'Berg turns the small part of Betty Chumley into a little jewel; and you can easily envision John Forsyth twirling his mustache as William Chumley.
"Harvey" runs through April 7, at The Players Theatre. For more information, call 365-2494.

- I'm sorry, but that is an utterly pointless and ridiculously written review. As a former theater critic, I have to say that when the reviewer spends more time talking about the play itself than the production, it's like she's trying to fill space without actually saying anything, or -- crazy, since the person is a critic -- actually offering an opinion. And her recap of people at the end is absurd; if you're not familiar with the play, you have no idea who these characters are, or what they have to do with anything. I'm sure it's a great production, but the only things one can truly glean from that review are that a) Players is putting on "Harvey," and b) a bunch of people are pretty good in it.

Great web content is key, but does anyone know it's there?
Aren't we all focused on enhancing the customer experience using our web sites to handle common customer service issues and questions to help reduce call center costs (headcount, resources, etc.)? What I find to be a bit of sad irony is that while time and energy is being spent to beef up web site content, few people within the company have the slightest clue as to what is on their web site. I know I've been guilty of this myself.
I recently called a company about a service issue and the call center agent promptly let me know that my issue could be solved by going to the web site. I say, "thank you for letting me know that. I did try to serve myself and couldn't figure it out. What exactly do I need to click on to get the information?"….radio silence. The agent had no idea. So, we both think this should be possible but neither of us knows how to do it. The shame is that I am not the only one having this customer experience problem.
"When my appliance started smoking I called your customer service number and when I did the agent, he told me I could troubleshoot it myself on the web site. I went to the web site and couldn't find any info on technical service. When I called the service number a second time to ask the agent where to find the info, he couldn't tell me either. Nice service!"
"After spending upwards of an hour on your web site I finally found the rebate form I was looking for. I guess you really don't want people to get their money because you buried it so no one could find it!"
"Your agent told me I could download warranty information from your web site, but couldn't tell me where to find it. I can't believe these people are handling your customer service. I shouldn't have bothered calling at all!"
Happy Monday!

Gary Hooper: Celtic reject Hull City bid for striker
Hull City must decide whether to increase their offer after Celtic turned down a bid of around £4.5m for striker Gary Hooper.
The Bhoys value Hooper, 25, who has a year left on his contract and scored 31 goals last season, at nearer £7m.
Celtic, who paid Scunthorpe £2.4m for Hooper in 2010, rejected a series of bids from Norwich City in January.
Meanwhile, Hull goalkeeper Mark Oxley has signed a new two-year deal with the promoted club.
The 23-year-old played his first senior game for the club against Sheffield Wednesday in January.
He joined the Tigers from Rotherham United in 2008 and subsequently gained first-team experience through loan spells with Walsall, Grimsby Town and Burton Albion.

In fairness to Hull City he could do better. Playing with Hull City will not give him the opportunity of playing CL. Lets face it thats where footballers want to be playing. If he stayed another season and helped us in the CL his profile would be so much better and he could potentially have bigger clubs looking to sign him. Win win for both celtic and hopper

@247 No indication Celtic do want to sell him. @250 I think £7.5m was roughly what Norwich offered.
In helping us into the last 16 of the CL last season, he more than made up for the £3m we may have lost on this £4.5m offer. We could keep him, use him to help us qualify again for CL, let him go on a free and again, make more than we lost from CL money! At £4.5m its not worth selling him!

I'm a Celtic fan but I have a lot of respect for Everton, and they are a huge club with great fans. I do think, however, that because of the financial restrictions they operate under and the poor leadership, that they have been mediocre for a very long time now--a club with their history and support should have won something in the last 18 years, surely?

In my opinion as a Celtic fan Hooper should be sold if he wont sign an extension 4.5 is a reasonable offer but if we can hold out for 5-6mil then why not. As for bettering himself as a footballer he should move to Europe a move too many british players dismiss because they would have to learn another language.

251. Incidentally, there's no ethnic difference in the people of Britain and Ireland and I at least follow football for footballing reasons only.

Get Wood Smoked Flavor on a Gas Grill
Gas grills can be convenient and easy to clean up, but they don't usually offer the same smoky, wood-smoked flavor and aroma that a charcoal grill can give you. Luckily, you can bring the smoke to the gas grill pretty easily, thanks to the folks at America's Test Kitchen. Here's how. »

The area of Interlomas, a suburban district, is so heavily trafficked with cars, that pedestrians are often not welcome on the area roadways. To combat the subsequent gas emissions and pollutants from the heavy traffic, Rojkind designed a double-layered façade. A swirl of windows let in natural light, while the polished stainless steel outer skin blocks solar gain, exhaust, and the barrage of noise caused by traffic congestion. It also creates a sleek and luminous appearance, changing appearance as the sun moves throughout the day.
At night, the shiny steel outer skin of the façade transforms from reflective to illuminated. A wall of light, in between the two skins, reveals the fine patterns in the steel façade as it peeks through the skin.
The entryway is met with an open three-storey atrium, which floods the interior floors with light. It also invites visitors into different floors of the center, giving glimpses of movement and activity within. Winding up the exterior as a series of curving backlit balconies, that eventually lead visitors to a roof garden. Spanning almost the entire roof, the garden is a tranquil elevated park. The space transcends the space from shopping center to cultural center, as the local community, in addition to Liverpool patrons, are welcome to enjoy.
