MMORPG.com Istaria Correspondent Erin McManaway writes this look at the tight knit community that exists in Istaria, the MMORPG formerly known as Horizons. Cheers, |
As the community manager for Istaria, I just have to say that I greatly appreciate Aywren and everyone in the Istaria community who so understands what it is that makes Istaria special. This world is, and has always been to me and so many others, about the special people who inhabit it. Istarians are more than just a group of gamers, more than just friends who share a common interest in a game. Istarians are Gifted and we're family. It is an honor and privledge to be a part of this community and of the team that's helping to develop that world. |
Elders and wise... My words are but the whisper of a forgotten wind. Let them be lost or found, as suits the seeker. Gods there have been, and many. Some have come, and passed to such places as gods pass. Some have come, and passed... and come again. The Woken are much the same. Some come, and pass. Some come, and pass, and come again. Some... some there are that come, and never pass... and there may be those that might wish it else. Or at least that the Fool would cease to blether and gibber... :-). But the land... the land remains. The spirit of the land holds true to its nature. And woken or sleeping, if ye be known to the land, then the land remembers. Tales are told each day, those new and those old, those remembered and those not yet crafted. One will mention a name, and the market will echo and chatter... ' Do you remember when...?'.... ' Shall we go and seek...?' ' Ah, when Bori was here...'... Of recent waking I saw one wake that I had not seen in long and long, and it was as though the long candles that had burned since last they woke were not melted wax, but whole and no flame set to them, for no time had passed. A land where each name is known? Aye. A land where those passed are not forgotten? Aye. A land where memory is long, both of joy and pain? Aye. There is a place where one that watches still and yet watches the Edge of Forever.... and any that ask will be told the story of Roxi... and other tales. Of Alexzandria, of.... of those that walk no more in Istaria, or yet the land called Real. Lost to the lands they may be, but... but we remember. And, no doubt, there are already those reading this that take trial of my words. I confess... I lack skill in that tongue called Common. Old I am, and older. And that which I am, I am, and that voice I bear, I bear. But I am not Istaria. I am _of_ Istaria. for Istaria is a land with room and comfort for many. For those that would be in all their being of the land and their and its history... Istaria is home, and none or few take issue with their nature, and rather take joy of it. And for those more set in the land called Real... I may not know what this footing of the ball may be, or why those of Oakland Raid others in some manner... but if there be those that would speak and chatter in the place of market of such things... there is room in istaria for that also. For we are dragon, and we are Sslik... we are gnome and dwarf and those Sisters to the Mother called Dryad... but we are us and we are Istari, and.... WE ARE HERE. Here we are, and here we have been, and here we remain. We await ye, ye not-yet-woken. We dream our dreams and dance our dances... we craft those caverns two legs call buildings, and we dig the dragon caves... The makers among us can set whole their places of making, and those who seek blood's falling tears and the clash of battle's song can aid them. And if in Istaria ye can be all things, then that also is a mater of choice and nature. Save ye be dragon, then no path of making or war is denied ye, if ye have the skil and the time, the patience and the will to seek it. And if ye be dragon? To ride the winds... to know the Rites of passage to Adult, to Ancient... to seek hoard and use it well... Well and all. The least of draku I may be, but I would be no else and find no greater joy than that which I am. Istaria waits. It waits... and it lives. Do ye dare to dream? My words are but the whisper of a forgotten wind. Let them be lost or found, as suits the seeker. Sephiranoth, called by some ShadowSeeker Nobody and Nothing ever save The Five do Feast A Fool that walks among the Wise |
The promises of this game during its original development would have made it a WoW killer. The released product was the biggest letdown in MMO history. |
It`s always not easy to post after Sephiranoth^^ Especially if your mother tongue is not English. But here is another advantage of Istaria: It`s a game without frontiers. When we came from the European server, some of us expected a communication breakdown. Players from so many different countries, so many different languages. But quite the opposite happened- In our guilds are players from many different countries, and there will always be someone to assist, even if your English is not perfect. And there are chat channels where other languages than English are spoken. Being a veteran myself, I surely sign what is said here already. "welcome home" is how we greet new or returning players. Woulden`t that sound nice in your ears? Dragons- what else? |
Well I've followed the site for as long as I've been gaming, which is sometime now. Never took the time to register until I read this article. For I am one of the gifted that awakes and sleeps often in this realm. How many times have my feet roamed lands of realms other than Istaria, same name and race, different name and race...AH too many to count my friends. Though the scenery I've seen has been beautiful, strange monsters I've battled in these realms was exciting, something has always been missing. What was missing was the sense of community I had grown used to in the realm of Istaria, a place where a level one is the equal to an elder who has roamed the land since its birth, a place where every accomplishment you choose to share is celebrated by the entire community, a place where if you need help and request aid it is surely to come. I've often wondered what continually draws me back to the land of Istaria, but deep down I know what it is it's the one thing I've yet to find in any other realm I've wandered, ITS THE SENSE OF BELONGING. Istaria was not my first realm and doubtful it'll be my last BUT it will always be my favorite. Come join Istaria and watch a group of Dragons take flight( truly an amazing scene against any other game) knowing one day your hatchling wings will support you, come join the builders and create your own unigue plot or enhance the world on numerous community projects within the very world we inhabit, if hunting is your thing join us in our battle against the Withered Aegis a enemy that boasts combat both easy and extremely challanging across all teirs. Lastly the roleplay on the Order shard is second to none in the MMO world, come share in our stories or create your own and invite us to join along we look forward to seeing what adventures you've got for us. I've known plenty who have gone to sleep, both permanmtly and ones that always awake again, and ones that have never left, but I've never met anyone who didn't enjoy their time in Istaria. I'm currently awake look me up Teto Frum on Order shard if you decide to give the wonderful realm a try. |
As a long time player of this game, I feel that this newest article has hit the nail on the head. Community and earnest effort in continuing development is what brought me back, after a 2 year break. I played many other games during that time. Some of them held my interest, some not. What I found most noticeable about these other games, was the lack of a mature community. Barrens chat syndrome seems rampant in most games these days. It became almost impossible to not be abused by someone. KS'ing, resource hogging, general epeen foolishness or the simple lack of respect for others caused me to tire quickly of most of these games. The ones that could keep me interested had enough of what I was looking for, namely challenging mobs I didn't always have to have a group for, or things I could craft for myself that were truly useful. None however, had crafter built housing that was a part of the world. None had the richness in crafting I was looking for, or they made crafting so tedious or prone to failure that it was just not any fun. So, after looking around at the current crop of games, and playing them it hit me. What I really missed what what I always had in the world of Istaria. I had left off playing about 2 years ago, but decided to hop back in and see what things looked like today. I must say, that I was very pleased with what I saw. New content galore had been put in. There were new things to make, new skills to gain, and whole new areas to explore and have fun in. Not only had they put in content for high level players, but also for new and mid range ones as well. ( I am trying hard not to give away too many things, so you good reader can discover them on your own ) On last very unique thing about Istaria that I was never able to find in ANY other game out there. In Istaria, YOU can make a name for yourself by your actions and interactions with others. You can be a part of shaping the world, literally by construction crafting, and figuratively because the developers actually listen to the players. The community is such that you will develop a reputation pretty quickly as to whether you are a "good" character or "bad" one. Many games Promise this, but Istaria delivers. If you decide to try out the world of Istaria, please be sure to join the New Player Assistance channel for tips and answers to all your questions. Oh, and be warned... as you go out looking around, don't be surprised when one of the Withered Aegis saunters over to deprive you of your head... |
I wholeheartedly agree with this review. I too am a long-time player who took a break for about 12 months, but found myself back again. The story, quest-lines, and things to do in Istaria are endless! After many years I have built and rebuilt my house, storage silos, and personal jewellers shop countless times. I've travelled the length and breadth of Istaria and still find places I haven't explored. And I haven't even made it to level 100 (the current maximum) in any of my many multi-classed schools! But it is undoubtedly the community that brings me back in every time. I've never met a friendlier group of people in any game I've played, and would highly recommend this to all. See you in Istaria! |
Battleaxe - I agree that the game is nothing like what it started out with during initial design. It is such a different game to how "Horizons" was designed, that it isn't even worth mentioning, it is that different. Hence the namechange to "Istaria" is warranted, because it is a completely different game. For those that don't know - "Horizons" was scheduled to be a gigantic PvP with factions, race-wars, etc. But as with many games, the dream was too big and the investors jumped ship. The game we now have, Istaria, is a different beast. PvE instead of PvP, and largely because of that, the intense crafting system, and of course Dragons as a playable race, it has attracted a completely different type of player. It is extremely rare to see griefers, there are no "HAHA I PWNED YOU NOOB" comments anywhere, and the game encourages cooperation without forcing it on you. If you haven't played, then jump over - you can even play for free, without time restrictions, as a Human character. Try it out, then see what you think after that! |
I'm always glad when I see something about Horizons/Istaria on these forums. Most of the time the few things about said about the game was how it failed to live up to expectaions and that was it. (just like they say about most games today) The game had the best community by far out of any games I've played, not to mention this game is all about the community and server cooperation. Shame it doesn't have the same type of server events it used to have like unlocking races and witht he server merge. Make games you want to play. |
OK, I'll be the bad guy in the love-fest here.... While I understand that this is basically an Istaria promotional effort (which I have no problem with), are you going to offer any sort of criticism of the community? Or is it just perfect? I for one will at least offer this, from the time I gave the trial a whirl on the RP server, Order: there's no one there. I don't think there were ever 100 people on whenever I tried playing. And with a small community comes other types of problems. If you dont' get along with a couple of the established people, word spreads to, well, everyone on the server and there's really not much room for you if somehow you don't quite fit in with the long-established clique(s). Now, granted, this did not happen to me but reading the forums there seemed to be a tremendous amount of inter-personal drama that seemed to impact everyone. I love the idea of Istaria, and I hope somehow it figures out a way to let all the PvE loving folks out there know it exists and they crash a server or two from population overload. But I just wanted to add a little, well, balance here. A game all about community does present certain problems. It is not quite heaven on earth as we'd be led to believe. |
Are there issues still? Of course. What game has no issues? And the one you mention is certainly a real one. Horizons has been flying under the radar for some time now. With the bad press it got during all it's buy outs and ownership changes, it left a bad taste in many players mouths. And like any game that has scaled back, the development team is small and the player base is too. That is probably the major issue atm. And sure, this is an effort to get more players aware of this game. That is one way to solve the very problem you mention. I personally have been watching very closely for new or returning players. our guild has grown by 10 players in the last 2 weeks alone, and to me this says that many more are becoming aware, and trying it out. I would also like to say that one of the reasons those posting here have such fondness for this game, is not due to being shills or because we get something in return. It is simply because there is a quality to this game that is sorely lacking in many of the others out there. That's is why many have played it for almost 7 years. I hope anyone that sees this article and comments, will download the trial and check it out for themselves, and not take my word for any of it. It won't be everyone's cup of tea. However if you want a game that is more sandbox and less easy button... check it out. |

i believe i would qualify as one of those 'established' players. here is my 2 cp..... yes, a small population has all of the probs above. i myself am very guilty of jumping on newbies that strike me a being a boor. yeap, i am considered a horizons 'fanboi' - i proudly admit that. i have flamed, i have knowingly (and unknowingly, rarely) trolled hoping to start a flame war. i have been rude and crude and a pain in the azz. because i love istaria. its my home. i get very passionate about it. and because i am part of a family, my siblings have admonished me, and punished me, and kept me in my place (as much as they can, of course). the very very best thing about horizons is that as soon as you join us, you are part of a family. good and bad, better or worse - you are stuck with us and we are stuck with you. to paraphrase chief o'brien, you can pick your friends and you can pick your enemies, but your family - that's in the stars of istaria. there are no leetists in istaria. you will never be pwned (you might be owned in the arena, but that is by choice!!! i will never forget the beatdowns abbie gave me!!), you will be given the respect and interest you give back. and like any family, there is decension, and conflict, and hard words between us. we talk things out, we apologise and explain our position, we come to some sort of middle ground, and for the most part, we move on, we are not perfect - reading the forums on any given day will show that too well to try to put a 'happy' face on - but we are together. come try us out and judge for yourself. most welcome home! promiscuous advocate of mischief - OMG, wotsda BFD?? |
Phelim Reagh, I don't think anyones pretending Istaria is perfect.....just good, and I couldn't tell you why this arcticle was written or even by who of the player base, I was just adding my input about a game I consider the best and most challenging MMO I've ever played, that due to past troubles is a second thought of most gamers these days if they've even heard of it. You decided to mention the drawback of a small population, well thats a problem thats been mentioned in several of the responses, but the size of the population does not in any way reflect the quality of it. But it sures does need more players. Have there been fights and disagreements in game...a few in my many years there, have there been fights on the forums, plenty, but thats not isolated to Istaria, I think we can all agree fights on forums aren't overly rare, but they generally involve long term players arguing, newbies are met with more help here than anywhere else , and seldom flamed for anything in game or on the forum. You even admit your bringing up a problem you never faced so theres no real basis for your argument on this other the fact that its a forum problem not a game on and certainly not isolated to Istaria. Istaria had a terrible launch , and an even rougher life till recently, the game is being developed again(properly I'll add), new content galore at both the high end and the beginner world (done)and teir two (still in testing)have undergone massive overhauls. I'm not sure when you tried the trial so there could be much different than when you tried it. The game is far from perfect , but Ive played enough MMOs to know NONE are and this game is a good as any out there in my humble opinion. The Dev team is working on fixing any bugs and have drastically improved game performance. I was mainly piping up because most complaints I hear on here are " I hate gaming with rude kids" , "hate spoon fed games" , and "i hate being told to follow the breadcrumb trail, I like to explore and figure out for my self the boundries of my world". Thought I'd point out a place where that stuff is non existant Istaria other than very very rarely. If you've tried it and didn't like thats fine not everybody does , but I'm more than convinced that more will stay then go if they give it a try. Anyways just one mans opinion, feel free to yours. I can say plenty stay , throughout all the games turmoil our guild has actually shown growth, so for the right people its a good game, just be nice to see more people give it a try. The population may be small but I'd rather game with 100 people I like 98 of than be on a shard in game thats got 5000 players on it and I like two. To each their own if your a hack and slash PL guy/girl Istaria is probably not for you, but if your a mature gamer who enjoys a challenge, freedom to roam anywhere(at your risk) , quality RP , and one who thinks you shouldnt lvl 5 times a play session this would be a good game to take a look at. |
@PhelimReagh The point of the article was to focus on the importance of a quality community within an online game -- there are few games that I have played (out of the many) that I can say are as encompassingly community-driven as Istaria. Yes, where there are people, there will always be drama of some sort -- that's a given. Whenever you bring a group of people together, there will be differences of origins, backgrounds, thought and opinions. Is the community small? Yes, but that's fixable. And I can safely say that I know more players by name in this game than I have in any other game I've ever played. You know -- games where you group with someone, finish the objective, ungroup and never see that person again? That doesn't seem to happen in Istaria. Personally, I think that's a wonderful change. I wasn't painting Istaria as an online Utopia, but what was posted which doesn't happen? "When a new player has questions, they will be offered assistance to the best of veteran players' abilities." -- I see this happen every single night on my server. I'm one that tries to offer answers when I can, as well. Players are even making a move to spend their playing time as newcomer mentors on the training island on Chaos... because they really do care. Sadly, you would think helping newcomers should be status quo for online games, but that's getting to be less and less so now days. "When weapons and armor need crafting, the Marketplace is happy to oblige." - I see this happening quite often, too. Honestly, I don't believe I've ever seen a request in the Marketplace that didn't get some sort of attention, as long as the proper crafters were around. "When a young dragon needs a group to complete their epic Right of Passage quest, the server offers help." - I had a complete stranger, an Ancient dragon, offer me their help last night for when I decided to start my ROP. Never spoken to them before, they initiated the conversation because they noticed I was within level to start the quest line. I'm quite confident that myself and any other dragon on the server that needs a group for this will have no trouble finding it. In many games, I end up skipping the best, epic questlines due to the lack of grouping or willingness of others to help (even sometimes as a member of a guild). I haven't found that here. "On the crafting side of the game, massive community-driven projects have brought the server together to build structures that have meaning and can change the actual game world." - This has happened, we hope it happens some more! "On a more personal level, the intricate system for building in-game player housing and guild cities encourages the helping hands of friends and guild mates to develop settlements together, also changing the existing face of the world." -Yep, this happens, too. "Istaria shines in one major aspect of unique game play -- it actually becomes what the community puts into it. The game relies on the players to shape, build, protect and empower their own world." - I believe this to be true. Istaria becomes what the players shape it to be. That is why it's so important that we take the foundation of the community we currently have and open it up to others to discover and learn about our world. I think that's something most players in Istaria want to see happen. I urge anyone who has a curiosity in this game to hook up with the free download and give it a risk-free shot. There's even a completely free to play (for ever) account option. There's really nothing to lose in trying. |
They added a free to play forever account option? I checked about two weeks ago and couldn't find anyhting like that on the account page... Edit: Checked again right now and still wasn't listed on the account page...Must be hidden really well lol Make games you want to play. |
Originally posted by Ravik Yep, it's free to play. Check out the download page here. It's called the "Demo" account, though it's not really a demo. And quote: Demo - Play for Free Forever and offers a single character slot for a Human character. No credit card is required. You can only have a single character, it must be a human and you don't get your personal plot. But you can do everything else in the game, the same as a paying customer -- multiclass and craft to your heart's content. |

Awesome, I always played a human in Horizons anyway ^^ Make games you want to play. |
For all the responders, let me clarify that the article was not incorrect, just incomplete if they were giving an accurate assessment of the Istaria community and it's impact on the game. Small, long-established tight-knit communities offer many benefits, but they alternatively pose certain problems. For those that are part of the community like Istaria's, it's no doubt heaven on earth. But perhaps unwittingly, those same strengths may very well also increase the barrier to entry for new folks trying to enter and enjoy it as well. I have no doubt most folks in Isataria are very good people. Just offering a nugget of observation and balance. |
Phelim Reagh I won't dismiss your point because it does have a ring of truth to it. Though to be accurate in regards to the current climate of life in Istaria you'd also have to accept that close knit implies uninclusive and that is not the current climate within the game. I can tell you only from my personal experiences that new players are welcomed with open arms, though not pigeonholed into a certain shard wide community playstyle, flesh blood means new stories new adventures, new life into our community which we so desire. I wont deny that during the games dark days of unfulfilled release, constant balancing nerfs and multiple ownership changes when our beloved realm was under constant threat we closed ranks as a community against the constant barrage of bad press and forum rants every where. But that is no longer the current climate in Istaria, gods breath new life into the game, the community small as it maybe is happy once again. It is only to invite others to join us to expand our community, be a part of it , to tell us their tales of adventure , their dreams of their plot, their goal to soar as a dragon like in no other realm. With welcome arms will any be welcome into our midst , close knit community could mean what you say very well but it does not describe what we are here to offer. Istaria is once again a proud land with competent gods and a mature community looking for people to join us and expand our community theres nothing exclusive about the current community within Istaria. |

Noem, Robinson ignore each other in first debate
Saying she spends much of her time in Congress "fighting a president and a bureaucracy that don't understand life here in rural America," Rep. Kristi Noem, R-S.D., spent her first debate of 2014 reminding voters of fights she's won and fights she's waging.

What will it mean for commodities if "Helicopter Ben" Bernanke cranks up the printing press once again?
Some investors simply expect prices to soar across the board if the Federal Reserve chief institutes a new round of quantitative easing, aimed at stimulating economic growth. They see such a move flooding markets with dollars, weakening the U.S. currency, and pushing up the prices of dollar-denominated commodities, as stronger economic activity boosts demand.
Unfortunately, commodities offer few pure plays for those betting on a new shower of money. A big exception: gold, to which investors flock when they believe paper money is being debased by excessive creation. Marc Chandler, global head of currency strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman in New York, notes that previous rounds of monetary stimulus have resulted in rallies for both stocks and the precious metal, with gold prices strongly correlated with the S&P 500. "If you tell me the stock market is going to rally, then I think gold will rally," says Chandler. Silver and platinum will likely benefit, too, if business activity picks up, because they have industrial, as well as jewelry and investment applications. If the Fed does act, investors might want to look at the SPDR Gold Shares gld 0.3197925669835782% SPDR Gold Trust U.S.: NYSE Arca 116.07 0.37 0.3197925669835782% /Date(1424988000197-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 3987157 AFTER HOURS 116.49 0.42 0.36185060739209096% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 38199 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » exchange-traded fund (ticker: GLD).
The outlook is cloudier for purely industrial commodities, including iron ore, lumber, and copper. "In the short run, industrial commodities are dominated by economic growth," says David Ranson, director of research for HC Wainwright & Co. Economics. However, such commodities won't come to life immediately after the Fed cranks up the presses, but rather only if there is evidence that the economy is responding to the stimulus. Ranson thinks that's a big "if." In fact, he sees a huge danger: "By printing money, the Fed is destabilizing the price system," he says. "Anyone who monkeys with the price system is inviting a lot of trouble." If the monkeying doesn't produce much growth, industrial commodities won't be a good bet, especially over the longer term.
AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES, on the other hand, could be strong in both the short and long run. Corn and soybean prices have spiked because of the Midwest drought. The worse the harvest is, the higher prices will be this year. If farmers plant too much to compensate for this year's disaster, prices could dive next year. But if the drought persists into 2013, supplies will remain strained, and prices could get even stronger. Because steers, pigs and chickens feed on grain, the prices of beef, pork and chicken are also hostage to the same factors. So what the Fed does is less important than what the weather does. If crop prices remain high, fertilizer makers like CF Industries CF -0.20505142559562556% CF Industries Holdings Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD306.61 -0.63 -0.20505142559562556% /Date(1424988241135-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 489590 AFTER HOURS USD306.61 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2399 P/E Ratio 11.561463046757165 Market Cap 14716796001.0376 Dividend Yield 1.9568833371383842% Rev. per Employee 1635590 More quote details and news » (CF) and Agrium AGU -1.2772935185984293% Agrium Inc.

On the energy front, natural gas mainly tracks industrial demand. But given the current glut, it's unlikely the needle would be moved much by any Fed stimulus. As for oil, the Mideast will tilt prices more than Washington. Crude did surge during the last Fed stimulus, which started in early 2009. But the jump coincided with the Arab Spring, the Libyan war, and Iran's sabre-rattling. There is, of course, a chance of a new Mideast conflict. "If Israel and Iran go to war, then oil will pop," says Ron DeLegge, founder of ETFGuide.com He'd avoid ETFs that hold oil futures and instead buy those that hold energy stocks.

Peabody issues £200m bond
Peabody has raised £200 million on the UK bond market.
The London association, which owns or manages more than 19,000 homes, achieved a cost of funds of 5.32 per cent. The spread over gilt, the cost of funds minus the price of government bonds, was 1 per cent, equalling Sanctuary's £200 million issue last year as the best priced own name issue by a housing association in recent years.
Stephen Howlett, chief executive of Peabody, said: 'The reception from investors was universally positive. We are delighted to secure this funding for Peabody's growth. It will enable us to provide homes and services to more people in London into the future.'
The issue was more expensive, however, than January's club deal by the Housing Finance Corporation, which came in at 99 basis points above gilt. Proceeds from the Peabody issue will be used to fund development.
The bond was arranged by consultancy Traderisks, with Barclays Capital and Santander acting as joint book-runners. Peabody last month secured an AA2 rating from Moody's, the third best rating available.

Strange Beauty
The detectives investigate the disappearance of Nina Raedo, and the young girl's mother details her descent in intense body modifications. Surprisingly, a leg, belonging to Nina, is fished out of the river. Warner's report suggests the girl was alive when the leg was surgically removed from her body, but the rest of her body is later discovered. The detectives enter the underground world of body modification, which leads them to Jess Hardwick who performed a cosmetic ear surgery on Nina. Jess' connection to a dentist, Dr. Gene Brightman, gave her access to the surgical equipment she needed, and Gene's brother, Hall Brightman, was Nina's psychiatrist. Their mother lost her leg in car accident when Hal was 13, leading him to sexualize her amputated body. When he started treating Jess, his sexual attraction to amputations grew, and he began paying women (5 in total) for the privilege of amputating their legs. Nina, his first unwillingly participant, had a bad reaction to the anesthesia and died.

It's the week before Thanksgiving and hard to believe that we are still talking road construction, but we are. This weekend brings another closure of Hwy. 100 through Golden Valley, St. Louis Park and Edina, as well as lane closures in Plymouth and in St. Paul.
The Minnesota Wild are away, but the Timberwolves have home games on Friday and Saturday, which will bring extra traffic to downtown Minneapolis. And be ready for fans heading to TCF Bank Stadium for high school football. The Prep Bowl takes place Friday and Saturday at the University of Minnesota.
Sunday marks the Vikings' rematch with the Green Bay Packers. It's a noon kickoff at TCF Bank Stadium.
Fans who attended one of the team's previous home probably have their parking and transit routines down. For those making their first visit to the U, here are some parking tips for Vikings fans. Plan ahead as roads around the U will be most crowded about 2 hours prior to kickoff and 90 minutes following the game.
The U has plans in place to get fans on and off campus as efficiently as possible, but officials recommend taking transit to the game.
A number of Metro Transit bus routes connect to the Green Line. Blue Line riders can transfer to the Green Line at the Downtown East Station. Green Line trains stop right across the street from the stadium at Stadium Village. Another option is getting off at the East Bank Station and avoiding the throngs using Stadium Village. It's only a few block walk. Which ever stop you use, buy a 6-hour event pass to avoid standing in line at the vending machine after the game.
Northstar trains will operate for Sunday's game. Here is the schedule.
Highway 100 closure
For the second weekend in a row, crews will be demolishing a railroad bridge over Hwy. 100, and to do so they will shut down Hwy. 100 in both directions between I-394 and the Crosstown.
At 8:30 p.m. Friday, ramps along 100 between Crosstown and 394 will close, and at 10 p.m. the highway itself will be shut down. Lanes and ramps are supposed to be open by 5 a.m. Monday, MnDOT said.
During the closure, motorists will be detoured on I-394, Hwy. 169 and Crosstown. I-35W is another option. MnDOT say motorists should allow for extra travel time, watch for detour signs and find alternative routes.
Reconstructing the railway bridge is part of a 2 year construction project that will improve interchange safety and mobility on Highway 100, The project includes adding an auxiliary lane, reconfiguring and reconstructing the Minnetonka Boulevard and Hwy. 7 bridges and ramps, and building noise walls along the between Excelsior Blvd. and I-394.
I-494 in Plymouth
Look for the northbound side to be a single lane from Hwy. 55 up to I-94 from 7 p.m. Friday. until 5 p.m. Saturday.
I-35W in Minneapolis
Look for lane restrictions in both directions of the freeway in northeast Minneapolis. Northbound will be reduced to two lanes between 3rd Street and Johnson Street at 6 p.m. Friday and to a single lane starting at 8. Work will continue until 11:45 p.m. Saturday, so expect delays. Use Hwy. 280 as a good alternate.
Southbound lanes will be reduced to two lanes from Johnson Street to Hennepin Avenue from 7 p.m. Sunday until 5 a.m. Monday.
In a bit of good news, the newly constructed 4th Street entrance ramp to northbound I-35W opens to traffic this weekend. Weather permitting, the ramp will open tomorrow, Saturday, Nov. 22
I-35E in St. Paul
Today in St. Paul, southbound I-35E will reduced to a single lane between Maryland Avenue and I-94 from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. MnDOT says motorists should expect significant delays and should leave early or use alternative routes, if possible.
Also, the ramp from southbound I-35E to University Avenue will close until summer 2015 for area reconstruction. The suggested detour is to take westbound Pennsylania Avenue and southbound Jackson Street to access University Avenue
In case you have not heard, there's lots of talk about giving Penn Avenue a major makeover. The ideas being floated through the Penn Avenue Community Works project include a new Arterial Bus Rapid Transit line and reconstructing the street through 10 neighborhoods between I-394 and 49th Avenue N. to better accommodate pedestrians, cars, trucks, buses and bicycles.
A final open house at which the public can help shape the final plans will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. Wednesday Nov. 19 at the North Regional Library, 1315 Lowry Avenue N. in Minneapolis. Feedback can also be submitted online.
Hennepin County is working in conjunction with the City of Minneapolis and Metro Transit to come up with the final plan that envisions the corridor as a Complete Street with sidewalks or trails and green space. One concept would have bike lanes and no on-street parking. Another would have on-street parking but no bike lanes. A third would retain bike lane and parking bays.
Here is one of the concepts that is being considered:
Metro Transit is proposing a new BRT Line, which would provide frequent service between Brooklyn Center Transit Center and downtown Minneapolis beginning in 2016. Known as the C-Line, buses would run every 10 minutes and stop only at stations every half mile along the line. Here is a map with the proposed stations. Service would begin in 2016.
At long last, construction on Hwy. 101 through Rogers and work on County Road 144 is complete. All lanes on both roads are scheduled to be open in time for the Wednesday morning rush hour, the Minnesota Department of Transportation said.
This has been a tangle town for months as lanes have been closed and traffic detoured on occasion. For commuters who use Hwy. 101 to access I-94, this will be a welcome news.
The $14.6 million project included a new Diverging Diamond Interchange at County Road 144 and Hwy. 101. The relatively new type of interchange takes motorists from the right side of the road to the left before placing them in their normal lanes.
The diamonds are supposed to cut down on accidents as they allow for those making turns to do so without crossing paths with oncoming traffic. MnDOT also says the intersections help maximize traffic flow.
This is the second Diverging Diamond Interchange in the metro area. The first is at I-494 and 34th Avenue in Bloomington.
Pedestrians and bicyclists can use a new trail along County Road 144 and in the center of the diamond to cross.
New signs and lane markings will guide motorists through the area. And while the majority of the work is complete, occasional lane closings may occur as crews finish work along the highway, MnDOT said.
Nearly 25 percent of fans who went to the Vikings' two regular season home games took the Green Line to the game.
According to Metro Transit, 12,780 fans took the new light-rail line to TCF Bank Stadium for the Vikings vs. New England game on Sept. 14 and 12,737 did so on Sept. 28 when the team hosted Atlanta.
In both cases, that represented 24 percent of all fans who went to the game. Metro Transit says each fan counts as two rides - there and back.
Meanwhile, a scant 10 percent of fans who attended the Gophers' home game on Aug. 28 against Eastern Illinois used the Green Line. Only 9 percent did so for the Sept. 20 home game against San Jose State, according to Metro Transit.
This weekend, Oct. 11 and 12, both the Gophers and Vikings have home games. Here are the numbers provided by Metro Transit.

Meanwhile, ridership along the 11-mile line from downtown St. Paul to downtown Minneapolis continues to soar. From Sept. 2-19, the average weekday ridership was 37,835. That is well above the 2014 projection of 26,638 riders and the 27,529 riders projected for 2015, said Metro Transit spokesman Drew Kerr.
From Sept. 2-19, the East Bank Station had the highest weekday ridership with an average of 5,093 rides. The U's West Bank station had the fourth highest ridership on the lin ewith 2,445 rides. The stop at Stadium Village has 1,733 riders.
In comparison, the highest number of weekday boardings on the Blue Line during the same period was at Terminal 2-Humphrey with an average of 3,041.
While no major freeway closings are on tap for the weekend, MnDOT will be reconfiguring Hwy. 169 over the Bloomington Ferry Bridge, which will have traffic in both directions down to a single lane in each direction. Naturally, there are plenty of other projects that could affect your travels in the metro area.
The weather should cooperate for outdoor activities, which include the Vikings game against the high-flying Atlanta Falcons. The kickoff is at 3:25 p.m. Sunday at TCF Bank Stadium. For those heading to the game, here's parking and transit info.
Also on tap is the National Alliance on Mental Illness walk Saturday at Minnehaha Park, the Walk to End Alzheimer's at Saturday Target Field and the last weekend of the Renaissance Festival.
The Wild have a preseason game at the X in downtown St. Paul with the Winnipeg Jets Saturday night. Note: The Kellogg Blvd. bridge will be out of commission until Monday when it will reopen with fewer traffic lanes. Inspectors found deficiencies in the structure rendering the outside lanes unusable.
And here's something that doesn't happen every day. They're going to wash windows of a high rise on Dean Pkwy. in Minneapolis and close the road from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday from Lake Street to the Mid-Town Greenway bridge.---THIS HAS BEEN CANCELLED.
Here is an update from the Minnesota Department of Transportation: The eastbound I-694 ramp to southbound I-35E in Little Canada is open and will not be closing this weekend.
Here's a list of roads that are closed for the weekend and beyond.
As I reported on the blog Wednesday, MnDOT is taking away the extra lanes that were added in June to help traffic flow when spring floods forced the closure of the Hwy. 101 and 41 crossings over the Minnesota River. That greatly increased traffic volume on Hwy. 169 until the reopened.
With the extra traffic, MnDOT reconfigured the highway between Hwy. 101 and Old Shakopee Road to handle the influx. With winter coming, MnDOT needs the shoulders for snow storage and to restore lanes to their normal width.
While crews repaint, northbound traffic will be a single lane between County Road 18 in Shakopee and Pioneer Trail in Bloomington from 4 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday.
Southbound lanes will be single file from 7 p.m. Friday to 7 a.m. Saturday, and then again Sunday evening until 5 a.m. Monday.
I-35W and University Avenue/4th Street ramp near the U of M
Construction on northbound I-35W between the University Avenue/4th Street exit and Johnson Street continues. Prepare for slow traffic in the area as motorists navigate lane shifts and periodic lane closures.
Here are some of the impacts that remain:
4th Street in downtown Minneapolis
This street closed from I-35W to Washington/Cedar Avenue until late September as crews reconstruct the road and new turn lanes for northbound I-35W entrance ramp.. Drivers can still get onto southbound 35W, but those heading to the University of Minnesota will need to follow this detour: Northbound on Park Avenue, then right on Washington Avenue to Cedar Avenue.
12th Avenue bridge over 494 in Bloomington
Work began earlier this week on fixing the bridge. Repairs will continue through Oct. 10. Here's the recommended detours:
Southbound drivers will detoured to westbound 77th Street, then south on Portland Avenue and east on American Blvd.
Northbound traffic will be detoured to westbound American Boulevard, then north on Portland Avenue and east on 77th Street.
94th Street bridge over I-35W in Bloomington
The ramps to and from I-35W to 94th are back open, but the bridge over the freeway will be under construction for another month.
The County Road 152/Brooklyn Boulevard bridge is closed to motorists and pedestrians through late October. A new bridge deck is being built.
I-35E in St. Paul
The ramp from westbound 94 to northbound 35E opened last week, and that has made getting through St. Paul a tad easier. But we still have a lot of construction just north of downtown. Here is what is still shut down:
Hwy 61 between White Bear Avenue and north of Hwy 96 is reduced to a single lane. There are multiple streets that are closed where they intersect with Hwy 61.
Hwy. 77/Cedar Avenue in Bloomington
Various lanes will be closed and shifted near the Mall of America and I-494, so watch the signs. Additionally, northbound ramps to and from I-494 are closed through mid-October. Detour signs will be posted, but here they are:
Hwys. 149 and 55 in Eagan
The section of highway between Lone Oak Road and the north intersection of Hwy. 149 will have alternating lane closures through November. That means single lane in each direction. Also in the area, Hwy. 149 will be single lane between I-494 and Hwy. 55.
Kellogg Blvd. bridge in St. Paul
The bridge will close at 9 a.m. Friday. Public Works crews will use this time to restripe the bridge, put up new signage and other traffic devices. Signal timing also will be modified, the City said.
It will reopen at 6 a.m. Monday with traffic restricted to three lanes with a narrower path for pedestrians and cyclists to share.
Lane closures; Northbound to eastbound County Road 144 is closed; westbound County Road 144 to northbound Hwy 101 is closed; County Road 144 is closed between James Road and the Hwy 101 construction; Hwy 101 between South Diamond Lake Road and 147th Street is single lane. Here is a heads up: New northbound lanes of Hwy. 101 opened this week, so don't rely on muscle memory to navigate the area.
Hwy. 36 in east metro
This long-running project has the road down to a single lane through Oak Park Heights and Stillwater from Hwy. 5 to Hwy. 95.
Hwy. 55 in Golden Valley
A CenterPoint Energy utility reconstruction project is scheduled to start Thursday, Sept 25 in Golden Valley along Winnetka Ave between Harold Ave and Golden Valley Rd. The three- to six-week project will have a significant impact on traffic due to lane shifts and closures, but full access will be maintained to all businesses and residents. Detours will be set up to encourage through-traffic to use Wisconsin Ave or Rhode Island Ave for Hwy 55 access

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (Penguin Classics)by James Joyce
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:James Joyce's first and most widely read novel, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is the story of Stephen Dedalus, a young man struggling to decide between a religious vocation and an artistic one. The aftermath of the struggle that is so poignantly and unflinchingly recorded forms a large part of the story of Joyce's masterwork, Ulysses, in which Stephen reappears as a main character.
In A Portrait of the Artist, Joyce renounces an episodic framework in favor of a group of scenes which radiate backward and forward. As such, the book more closely resembles a random series of portraits than a chronological narrative. Using his own childhood and adolescence as the basic theme of the story, Joyce attempts to recreate the past by embracing it. Review:"A Portrait of the Artist as Young Man is in fact the gestation of a soul." Richard Ellman
Review:"Mr. Joyce...presents his people swiftly and vividly, he does not sentimentalise over them, he does not weave convolutions. He is a realist. He gives the thing as it is." Ezra Pound, The Egoist, 07/15/1914
Review:"Joyce dissolved mechanism in literature as effectively as Einstein destroyed it in physics. He showed that the material of fiction could rest upon as tense a distribution and as delicate a balance of its parts as any poem. Joyce's passion for form, in fact, is the secret of his progress as a novelist. He sought to bring the largest possible quantity of human life under the discipline of the observing mind, and the mark of his success is that he gave an epic form to what remains invisible to most novelists...Joyce means many things to different people; for me his importance has always been primarily a moral one. He was perhaps, the last man in Europe who wrote as if art were worth a human life... By living for his art he may yet have given others a belief in art worth living for." Alfred Kazin
Review:"The first page, which looks like a long passage of baby talk, is an elaborate construct that relates the development of the senses to the development of the arts." Frank O'Connor
Synopsis:A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man portrays Stephen Dedaluss Dublin childhood and youth, providing an oblique self-portrait of the young James Joyce. At its center are questions of origin and source, authority and authorship, and the relationship of an artist to his family, culture, and race. Exuberantly inventive, this coming-of-age story is a tour de force of style and technique. Synopsis:Published in 1916 to immediate acclaim, James Joyce's semi-autobiographical tale of his alterego, Stephen Dedalus, is a coming-of-age story like no other. A bold, innovative experiment with both language and structure, the work has exerted a lasting influence on the contemporary novel.
About the AuthorJames Joyce was born on February 2, 1882, in Rathgar, Dublin. He was one of ten children. He was educated at Jesuit schools and at University College, Dublin. A brilliant student of languages, Joyce once wrote an admiring letter in Norwegian to Henrik Ibsen. He went to Paris for a year in 1902, where he discovered the novel Les Lauriers Sont Coupes by Edouard Dujardin, whose stream-of-consciousness technique he later credited with influencing his own work. Following his mother's death, he returned to Ireland for a brief stay, and then left with Nora Barnacle, with whom he spent the rest of his life. They had two children, George and Lucia Anna, the latter of whom suffered in later years from schizophrenia. (Joyce and Nora were formally married in 1931.)
Joyce lived in voluntary exile from Ireland, although Irish life continued to provide the raw material for his writing. In Trieste, he taught English and made the acquaintance of the Italian novelist Italo Svevo. His first book, the poetry collection Chamber Music, appeared in 1907. The publication of the short story collection Dubliners was delayed repeatedly, and eventually the Irish publisher destroyed the proofs for fear of libel action; this prompted Joyce's final visit to Ireland in 1912. The book was eventually published in 1914 and greeted with acclaim by Ezra Pound, whose enthusiastic support helped Joyce establish a literary career. In 1915 Joyce and Nora moved to Zurich, and at the end of World War I they settled in Paris. His only play, Exiles, was published in 1918 and staged in Munich the same year without success. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, an autobiographical novel (developed from the embryonic, posthumously published Stephen Hero) tracing the artistic development of Stephen Dedalus, was published in 1916. By this time Pound and W. B. Yeats had succeeded in obtaining for Joyce some financial support through the Royal Literary Fund, but he continued to be in need of money for most of his life. Joyce began to suffer from serious vision difficulties due to glaucoma; he would eventually be forced to undergo many operations and long periods of near-blindness. Ulysses, the epic reconstruction of the minutiae of a single day in Dublin--June 16, 1904--was serialized in The Little Review starting in 1918, and published in Paris (by the American Sylvia Beach through her bookstore Shakespeare & Company) in 1922, on his fortieth birthday. Due to censorship it remained unavailable in the United States until 1934 and in the United Kingdom until 1936. Except for a small volume of verse, Pomes Penyeach (1927), Joyce published nothing thereafter except extracts from the enormous work in progress that emerged as Finnegans Wake in 1939. In his later years he was closely associated with the young Samuel Beckett, whom he had met in 1928. After the German invasion of France, Joyce and Nora moved back to Zurich, where he died on January 13, 1941.

Nov 1, 2010
Ecuador's Banco Pichincha has been busy expanding within and beyond the country's borders. At the same time, it has been able to keep its financial indicators in line with or better than that of the banking system as a whole.
The trend is expected to continue. "In 2010 we expect Ecuadors GDP to grow between 2%-3% and in 2011 it should expand around 4%, which will certainly help Pichincha grow," says vice president Jorge Chiriboga. He adds that higher GDP growth could also translate into more demand for credit.
Ecuadors biggest bank is also spreading its wings. In 2010, Pichincha closed the acquisition of Inversora Pichincha and Interdinco, which comprised troubled insurance conglomerate AIGs consumer finance operations in Colombia. Inversora Pichincha and Interdinco provide consumer finance products in Colombia, including vehicle financing, personal loans, student loans, insurance premium financing, commercial loans, credit cards and retail...

Seriously, everyone was at the premiere for The Social Network in New York last night. Friends. Friends of friends. People outside The Social Network's social network. If we were Facebook friends with Justin Timberlake, we're sure his status would have read Justin Timberlake is…wondering who all these people are?
Anyone who is anyone was at the Cinema Society's screening of the film (the film which has successfully ruined Radiohead's "Creep" for us, thankyouverymuch), stars like JT and Jesse Eisenberg, the film's writer Aaron Sorkin and plenty of total randoms like Adrien Brody, Gabourey Sidibe and Lance Bass. It really is like using a Friend Finder to discover how all these random people are connected even though you never knew they knew each other. For a look at who attended, check out our gallery below. But don't you dare try to un-tag yourself, Timberlake.

It was our first visit to Instanbul. there couldn't be a better location for the hotel, it was just next to all the famous landmarks and just walking distance from public transportation. the staff was excellent and especially the waiters from the restaurant at dinner time. the food was fantastic and at very good prices. the room were really good and just what we needed for our 7 days stay. there was no downside to the hotel, some people might consider the fact that it has a small elevator or that all the shop around it are hardware stores but believe me the view from the rooms or the restaurant at the tenth floor is rewarding. we will go back we will recomend it to our friends.

We celebrated our 25th anniversary at El Fuerte. It offered the perfect combination of privacy and accessiblity to all San Pedro has to offer.

San Pedro is a beautiful place with gracious people. Our time there was unforgettable!

Things to do in Alaska
Plenty of people visit Alaska by way of a cruise, which can give you a nice overview of the port towns, as well as good views of glaciers and coastal wildlife. But take time, if you can, to explore inland Alaska. Here are a few highlights of things to do in Alaska away from the cruise ports:
Denali National Park: One of the top things to do in Alaska is to seek out "The Great One," Mt. McKinley. Plenty of people take the bus tours along the Park Road (you can't take your own car very far past the entrance). If you want to go hiking, take the Park Service's hop-on, hop-off bus, which gives you the most freedom to explore. And if you really want to see the mountain - which often hides behind clouds - plan a trip to the town of Talkeetna, which tends to have the clearest views.
Chena Hot Springs: Gold miners originally discovered this Fairbanks spot in 1905, and these natural hot springs continue to be the go-to destination for locals looking for a natural way to recharge.
The backcountry community of Gustavus: This off-the-beaten-path town near Glacier Bay National Park, in the southeastern part of the state, includes a population of doctors, lawyers and former government workers who left the bustle of civilization so that they could live in the middle of the woods.
Drive the Dalton Highway: Beginning just north of Fairbanks and plunging northward through the isolation of the Arctic, this road enables you to enjoy the solitary yet scenic splendor of the Brooks Range along the way. Just be prepared for less-than-smooth roads.
Kid-friendly dogsledding: Don't miss the chance to take a dogsledding tour, like Seavey's Ididaride near Seward, to get up close to the champion dogs and their pups, and experience the thrill of riding on a dogsled.
The tour operator creates tailor-made itineraries for the region, with more than 100 land and cruise options, including heli-hiking outings in Denali National Park.
American Safari Cruise guests always a chance snap pics of grizzlies foraging on the beach in Juneau, Alaska or humpbacks breaching the water in Mexico's Sea of Cortès.
Disney is the best cruise line for families. What may surprise you is that the 1,760-passenger Disney Magic and Disney Wonder are gorgeous ships, even without Disney touches like character appearances and first-run movies.
At 13.2 million acres of Alaskan wilderness, this, the largest U.S. park, is six times the size of Yellowstone and larger than nine U.S. states—yet it has only two roads, together barely totaling 105 miles.
Fly over Mount McKinley, travel on Alaska Railroad's GoldStar service, and meet a champion dogsledding team.
Oceania's three identical midsize ships—the 684-passenger Insignia, Nautica, and Regatta—are geared toward a crowd that wants to explore interesting ports and enjoy a taste of finery— including gourmet cuisine (menus are overseen by Jacques Pepin), personalized service, resort-l
White-water rafting, Denali National Park, and cruising through the Kenai Fjords make up the itinerary on Tauck's Grand Alaska vacation.
Silversea's fancy, pampering experience is delivered on six sleek, 132- to 540-passenger ships, done up in contemporary décor, with gourmet cuisine, spacious ocean-view suites, free booze, and top-notch service—the solicitous crew even shines your shoes and brings room service, course by course.

Have you wondered if God's hearing you? I've wondered that. But know that your God is NOT the God of delays, pauses, forgetfulness, To-Be-Announced's, To-Be-Determined's & forgetful RSVPs. God is WELL AWARE of my voice, my tears, my cries, my needs, my pleas, my begs, my requests, my burdens...and yours too. It's not a question of can God hear us; it is a question of am I willing to wait for Him to answer? Here are some encouraging verses to hold you up while you wait...
Morning, noon, and night I cry out in my distress, and the Lord hears my voice (Psalm 55:17);
The Lord hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. (Psalm 34:17);
For the Lord hears the cries of the needy (Psalm 69:33);
I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Psalm 116:1
Yes He does! there is a song.. In His Time.. so even when He listens to our prayers, He does not answer us immediately.. He does it In His Time... one problem with us is that at times we don't listen and wait.. :)

The Role of Configurational Entropy in Amorphous Systems
Received: 30 March 2010 / Revised: 18 May 2010 / Accepted: 21 May 2010 / Published: 25 May 2010
Abstract: Configurational entropy is an important parameter in amorphous systems. It is involved in the thermodynamic considerations, plays an important role in the molecular mobility calculations through its appearance in the Adam-Gibbs equation and provides information on the solubility increase of an amorphous form compared to its crystalline counterpart. This paper presents a calorimetric method which enables the scientist to quickly determine the values for the configurational entropy at any temperature and obtain the maximum of information from these measurements.
